Congratulations Portugal!!!
20-2-2005: Today in Portugal the Socialist Party has won the elections! Now abortion can finaly be legalized and the suffering of Portuguese women end.
The former government, a coalition between PP and PSD, refused to revieuw the very strick abortion law and even allowed for the prosecution of women who had abortions. When the Women on Waves ship sailed Portugal in September 2004 to give information and to help women with safe and legal abortioncare, Paulo Portas, the leader of PP, even send war ships to stop the Women on Waves ship from entering Portuguese national waters. Opinion polls after the ship left showed that 63% of the Portuguese population wants abortion to be legalized. The PP and the PSD have both lost almost half of their seats in parliament.

Point Park Hosts Career Event with Government and Law Enforcement Agencies Tuesday, April 9, 2013
A variety of government and law enforcement agencies throughout the region and state recently spent the day on Point Park's campus for a career event hosted by the University's Department of Criminal Justice and Intelligence Studies and Career Development Center.
"Students had the opportunity to meet police officers, probation officers and recruiters from the local and state levels," said Gregory Rogers, J.D., professor and chair of the Department of Criminal Justice and Intelligence Studies. "We host the only event like this in southwestern Pennsylvania."
More than 300 students, including those as far away as North Carolina, came to the event.
Employers in attendance included:
- Allegheny County Police Department
- Pittsburgh City Bomb Squad
- Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Enforcement
- Pennsylvania State Civil Service Commission
- Allegheny County Housing Authority Police Department
- The Pennsylvania Game Commission
- Pittsburgh City Civil Service Commission
- Allegheny County Sheriff's Office
Also present were representatives from various specialty positions within the Pennsylvania State Police including criminal investigations, forensic services, motorcycle patrol, special emergency response team, the canine unit and more.
"We are here to recruit interns and future law enforcement professionals," said Point Park alumna Jennifer Steffee, a criminal records analyst for the Allegheny County Housing Authority. "It's great to be back on campus. I've enjoyed talking to the students about the variety of career opportunities in the criminal justice field and would love to speak to a class sometime."
Steffee earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a master's degree in criminal justice administration, both from Point Park.
"I came to the event today to explore my options. My career goals are to work for the state police or U.S. Marshals Service and possibly go to law school," said Steve McKenna, a senior criminal justice major.
Junior criminal justice major Jessica Yanavitch attended the event because of her desire to work in law enforcement.
"I've already talked with several employers today. One of the interesting things I learned is that there are undercover operations positions within the Pennsylvania Police Bureau of Liquor Enforcement," remarked Yanavitch.
Robin Mungo, community services officer for the Pennsylvania State Police, came to the event to meet with students and discuss the pathway to becoming a Pennsylvania State Trooper.
"Criminal justice is a great, rewarding profession. I love it," said Mungo. "I encourage anyone who is up for the challenge to pursue it. It's an opportunity to be a part of the solution, not the problem. And it's a way to give back to society."

Back in the spring I received tickets to the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Grapevine, TX. We "planned" the trip several times but each time something would come up and we'd have to re-schedule.
Our son's birthday is in July and since we're out of school and looking for things to do we thought it might be fun to take a couple of friends for a little celebration by FINALLY go to LEGOLAND. He chose two friends from church, one had been before and one hadn't. Everyone was very excited.
I HIGHLY recommend purchasing tickets online, it is busy in the summer. (Also, Coupon Here!)
Our visit started with the LEGO® Factory Tour. It was very interactive as Professor Brick-a-Brack chose children from the crowd to participate. Of course, it wasn't the real factory. Everything was either made of LEGO bricks or to look like LEGO bricks. It was a great explanation of the process.
Some of the highlights were…
Kingdom Quest Laser Ride. Each of us had a laser gun in which to shoot the "bad guys" as we traveled along. I will have to admit, there was a bit of "smack talk" (from us moms) as to who would score the most points. The boys openly accepted our "challenge" but in the end it was Faith, the quiet young lady, who smoked us all! No kidding, she put a whoopin' on us!
Next, was the 4-D Movie. In case you aren't familiar with 4-D, it just means 3-D with an even more tangible aspect…like literal water spraying on you from a fire hose, wind in your hair as a character flies through the air. Three different movies were playing and the first we saw was Clutch Powers. It was really cute and had a great message about working together and avoiding selfishness…and I think it also has the most water.
From the 4-D movie we went on to the Star Wars MINILAND Model…built completely of LEGO bricks, of course.
The detail is unbelievable! It really is just like the movie!
Everyone enjoyed the interactive aspect, too. Who doesn't love racing Podracers?
Again, the details we incredible. I know you can't tell but each of those tiny little people look exactly like they do in the movie.
The biggest hit of all was the LEGO Racers Build and Test, where you do just that….
build a car from scratch, then…
Race it against others or
Down the steepest track, to see if it holds up.
We spent a LONG time here…they were having so much fun!
You could even play with LEGO bricks in the gift shop.
And just for us Texans…
Big Tex and the Ferris Wheel from the Texas State Fair, made of LEGO bricks
And a life size Dirk Nowitzki
The best thing about LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Grapevine, TX….there's something for EVERYONE! I was a little concerned because we took twelve and thirteen year olds. I didn't know if things would be geared more for little ones. While there was PLENTY for little one to do, our "older" kids had just as much fun! They could have played for days!!

As if losing to Tottenham was not enough, we are now going to lose Bacary Sagna for a minimum of three months with a fibula fracture.
Bacary Sagna was substituted during the game after he was pushed by Assou-Ekotto and he landed awkwardly.
Speaking after the game, Wenger informed the initial signs weren't good and further news was awaited with the medical staff checking the fibula.
"We are very worried about his injury. He is in hospital at the moment and it is too early to say but the first signs do not look good at all. It is the fibula in the ankle that has to be checked, that is what I have been told. We will know tonight.
I think he was pushed quite hard by Assou-Ekotto and I'm not sure what happened to him. He might have landed the wrong way, I don't know. I will have to see it again. Straight away he wanted to be substituted."
Later in the night, the following statement was released on the official Arsenal site.
The Club can confirm that Bacary Sagna sustained a fracture to the fibula in his right leg during the match against Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
Further detailed investigations and assessments will take place on Monday, during which time Bacary will see ankle specialists and the Arsenal medical team regarding the further management of his injury.
It is expected that Bacary will be out for approximately three months and a surgical procedure cannot be ruled out at this stage.
With us already short in defenders, one of our consistent performers is going to be missed now.
With a surgery not ruled out, we will have to keep our fingers crossed that there are no setbacks. This season was already tough and has just gotten more difficult.
Let's hope he returns in time. I wish him the best of luck.Follow @Rgunners

Entourage UI via InsanelyMac
With 13 weeks to go until Macworld 2008, Microsoft's Mac Business Unit is definitely pacing itself when it comes to previews for the next iteration of Mac Office. While today's sneak peek finally shows Entourage, it doesn't exactly show Entourage.
Note: You'll notice some new looks in these screenshots. They'll serve as a teaser for an upcoming post that will dive into the new look and user experience of the Entourage 2008 Calendar.
Fair enough, as long as the next post isn't a feature colonoscopy of the MyDay not-widget—and don't tell us you can't customize the toolbar! Having said that, today's post focuses on how using the calendar has changed relating to the creation and maintaining of calendar events, like meetings.
Attendees will now be able to reflect changes in meeting status directly. Calendar management actions, like declining a previously accepted meeting directly from the event, are more straightforward and consistent with Outlook. This fills a big functionality gap and addresses a top sore spot.
Also like Outlook, "mail actions" make communication regarding meetings easier. Invite handling better addresses the issue of stale and processed invites. Conflict resolution and "No Response Requested" are better implemented. Entourage 2008 also takes better advantage of Exchange 2007, including Availability Web Service and taking over functions that were previously handled by the client. Unfortunately, nothing is said about Tasks and Notes integration with Exchange 2007, and the most glaring omission relates to what, exactly, is meant by "full exchange support."
As expected, the core package of Office will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage sporting both support for Automator and "full" Exchange support. This package will go for $399.95, the same price as the current Office suite ($239.95 for an upgrade license).
While some would argue that those needing full Exchange support should bypass the Home and Student Edition, the inclusion of Entourage in the basic edition—unlike the comparative Windows suite—implies functionality. To artificially bifurcate the feature set will likely leave no few users in a position of being forced to upgrade in order to have something that should have been there all along.

900: Religions
Title text: But to us there is but one God, plus or minus one. —1 Corinthians 8:6±2.
The late Harold Camping, a Christian pastor, falsely predicted that the world would end in May 21, 2011. After that prediction failed, he moved the date to October 21 of that year, and when that passed uneventfully, he recanted his belief that the end time could be calculated. In the Christian mythos, the end of the world is called "the second coming" (referencing the return of Jesus) or "the Rapture."
The first frame is a reference to raptors in Jurassic Park, and certainly not Randall's first raptor joke. In this film, the raptor dinosaurs get much more dangerous once they learn how to open doors. Cueball mishears Megan, which is why he thinks she said "raptor" instead of "Rapture".
In the second frame, Cueball references three major religions. Christian and church for Christianity, Mosque for Islam and Rabbi for Judaism.
The third frame is a math joke in which Megan references error bars which are used on graphs to indicate the uncertainty. So, Megan believes in one God (monotheism), as she says in the comic. But if she is still trying to find the error bars, and from the title text it is "one, plus or minus one", that could be in the range of zero (Atheism) to two (Bitheism).
The title text is a supposed excerpt from the holy text of experimental monotheism. First Corinthians is a book of the Christian Bible. Megan refers to chapter 8 verse 6 (±2), which would be verses 4–8. In the actual bible text, this section refers to idols and "so called gods", but also states "There is no God but one."
- [Cueball and Megan talking.]
- Megan: So are you worried about the rapture?
- Cueball: No, unless it figures out how to open doors.
- Megan: I said rapture.
- Cueball: Oh, I'm not really into that. I'm the kind of christian who only goes to church on Christmas and Easter, and then spends the other 363 days at the mosque.
- Megan: ...I don't think that's a thing.
- Cueball: Our rabbi swears it's legit.
- Cueball: What religion are you?
- Megan: Experimentalist Monotheism.
- Cueball: Which is?
- Megan: We believe there's one god, but we're trying to find the error bars on that number.

Where's the experimental evidence that there is actually a god? Davidy²²[talk] 02:01, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Consider who is proposing such an experiment. QED. 22.214.171.124 03:10, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Subjectivism is the provenance of earth-scientists and the devout. But god preserve us from the devout earth-scientists. (That's the thing about god, he's the only one who can get the monkey off your back.)

- I'm sure you can find not one but several definitions of god with experimental evidence. Of course, this says more about how vague definitions of god are that about the god. -- Hkmaly (talk) 00:06, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Oddly considering Paul was Jewish (as was Jesus) most Christian versions of the bible have slanted their beliefs to allow a comma after the word father in the verse quoted. Just found out that so do Unitarian bibles. Does Jewish have commas?
- With a large "if I'm remembering right" first... The relevant book of the Bible was written in Greek. They didn't even put spaces between words, much less use punctuation, but why would that make it strange for commas to be used in English translations?184.108.40.206 17:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
The play on the quote in the comic is that it is plus or minus Jesus as god in that verse. Rather a loaded quote from a trained lawyer!

- Assuming you mean the quote from Corinthians, that's in the New Testament only. Jews don't have that book at all.--188.8.131.52 02:19, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Senate President John Morse has brought in $123,302 since March in his effort to stay in office, with a large chunk of the funds coming from individual disclosed donors and three less-transparent political groups.
In comparison, the group attempting to unseat Morse, in part because of gun legislation he supported this year, has raised $71,483.
El Paso Freedom Defense Fund turned in more than 16,000 signatures this week to put Morse on the ballot for recall, and of those almost 7,200 must be from valid registered voters in Senate District 11 in Colorado Springs.
Morse's fundraising may be gearing up for a protracted legal battle as he contests the validity of signatures in court, but also for a political campaign if voters are asked if he should be recalled and if so, who should replace him.
The Democrat whose term ends in 2014 said Monday he will not resign his position to allow his party to appoint a replacement and avoid taking the recall to ballot.
Gov. John Hickenlooper said Wednesday he would support Morse in the battle.
Hickenlooper signed bills into law that are central points in the Morse recall, including mandating background checks on all gun sales, a ban on magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition and renewable energy standards for rural electric cooperatives.
"On things like universal background checks, I have an obligation to push back and make sure people hear the facts," Hickenlooper said, adding recalls aren't his favorite form of Democracy because of their focus on a narrow interest group.
A large chunk of the funds raised by the political action committee A Whole Lot of People for John Morse were spent on out-of-state consulting firms including $25,000 to Adelstein Liston in Chicago, which worked on President Barack Obama's re-election.
Thousands of dollars rolled in from individual Colorado donors and others from across the nation in $3 to $2,500 increments.
"We raised over $15,000 just locally last month," said Christy LeLait, executive director of the El Paso Democratic Party who is also paid to run Morse's campaign.
But three large political donors make up a significant chunk of the revenue for the group.
Because of the way the donors have structured their organizations, it's nearly impossible to tell who exactly is behind the large donations.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit under the 501(c)(4) designation of "social welfare organizations" gave the committee $35,000. Reached by phone the managers of the non-profit from Arbella Advisors declined to comment about their donors or donations.
Federal tax filings show the group has steadily declined over the years in financial activity but in 2009 declared $4.8 million in revenue that was then donated to a variety of interests including religious, environmental, and union groups plus smaller donations to Planned Parenthood groups and Akorn.
Citizens for Integrity, a Denver-based non-profit, gave $25,000 to Morse's campaign. Mainstream Colorado, a Denver-based political action committee, donated $15,000.
Mainstream is registered to the liberal front-person Julie Wells and the latest financial report said Wells' group took in $25,000 from Riviera Black Hawk Casino and another $25,000 from Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America Action Fund. The group has a variety of funding sources however, according to the April 15, report.
Those same three organizations - Sixteen Thirty Fund, Citizens for Integrity and Mainstream Colorado - donated the same amounts to Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, who is facing a recall attempt by a similar gun rights group. The 11,500 valid signatures needed to put Giron's recall on the ballot are due Monday.

Checking in on the… Horizon LeaguePosted by rtmsf on February 13th, 2009
Damon Lewis, a reporter and play-by-play announcer for the Horizon League Network, is RTC's Horizon League correspondent.
- Butler (#15/15) 12-1, 21-2
- Green Bay 11-3, 19-7
- Cleveland State 9-5, 18-8
- Wright State 9-5, 15-10
- Milwaukee 9-5, 14-10
- Youngstown State 6-8, 9-15
- Loyola 4-10, 12-14
- Valparaiso 3-10, 6-18
- Detroit 2-12, 7-17
This edition of the HL "check in" comes smack dab in the middle of a whirlwind tour of the Horizon League. Loyola to Cleveland State to Butler to Valparaiso…four games in six days, all in an effort to sew up my notes on as many teams as possible heading into the Horizon League Championship, which begins on March 3rd. Some things are already crystal clear while others remain murky, much like the weather we deal with here in the Midwest this time of year. Two weeks ago it was snow measured in feet and this week it's been unseasonable warmth, followed by wind and rain. It's a nice sign that March is right around the corner, but for now the return of the winter chill is a reminder that this time of year features "Mock Selection Thursday" and not "Selection Sunday."
Last time I checked in, I referred to Loyola as possibly the most "anonymous" team in the Horizon League. I had no idea how witness-protected Loyola truly was until taking in their home game with Wright State this past Tuesday night. It's worth noting that Loyola's athletics staff is without question one of the best in the Horizon League. The people employed in that department are as hard working as anyone, more accommodating than most, and selfishly, their HLN webcasts are among the best in the league. Unfortunately, none of that helps the basketball team win games, and doesn't put butts in the bleachers. For such a small, tight-knit campus, the lack of student support (and fan support in general) was really disheartening – to the tune of about 15 students attending by their own free will. There were, admittedly, more students in attendance but they were either working, playing in the band, a student-athlete being honored at halftime, or a member of the women's basketball team. Most fans, students or otherwise, looked as if there were eight other places they'd rather be.
This is probably the last time I'll mention Loyola this season (at any sort of length anyway), but there's a lot of work to be done with that program. This was undoubtedly the season Jim Whitesell was building toward, as it's a veteran bunch that started the season by playing in the Preseason NIT. I took the bait, and forecasted a top-half finish in the HL along with a 20-win season. Not so much. This thought never crossed my mind back in November, but Whitesell may be the first pink-slipped coach in this current crop of 10 HL head coaches.
From here on out, there are only two items that really matter in the Horizon League…1) BracketBusters, 2) HL Tournament seeding. Lets talk about both, shall we?
The Horizon League will have three games televised in the 7th Annual ESPNU BracketBusters. For the third consecutive year, Butler will play in the marquee match-up of the weekend, this time traveling to take on Steph Curry and Davidson (game time and network listed below). Butler has had a knack for being able to shut down star players within the Horizon League, thanks to junior defensive stopper, Willie Veasley. Veasley is a versatile 6'3" forward/guard, bulky enough to defend players larger than him, quick enough to defend guards on the perimeter, all while contributing on the offensive end. All signs point to Veasley drawing the assignment of slowing down Curry. This will be, without question, the toughest assignment of his career. This game, just like the last two seasons (vs. Southern Illinois and Drake), will have a major impact on Butler's NCAA Tournament seed.
Fans in Green Bay viewed their BracketBuster pairing with Long Beach State as somewhat of a snub. It won't be an easy travel schedule to plan, but the reality here is that Green Bay isn't going to the NCAA Tournament unless they earn the HL's automatic bid. Beating a better opponent in the BracketBuster wasn't going to get them anywhere, so they should just be happy to be playing on television. Don't get me wrong, I like Ryan Tillema and Co. but they simply didn't play ANYONE in the non-league season.
The head-scratcher in the HL on BracketBuster Saturday, pits Wright State against Northeastern. At the time it was announced, Northeastern was leading the CAA. Now? They're slip-sliding down the standings. Meanwhile, Brad Brownell's crew continues to win games with defense (except that game a week ago vs. Butler). Frankly, defense is just about the only thing the Raiders do well, as they rank in the top-10 nationally in defensive-FG% (38% as of 2/13). I'd have rather seen Milwaukee vs. North Dakota State on the ESPN family of networks, but my influence is…well…not influential.
As for Horizon League Tournament seeding, things have gotten a little more interesting as of late, specifically in the past couple days. Butler lost its first HL game at Green Bay on February 3rd, bringing the 'Nix within a game of the Bulldogs. That margin lasted for a week, as Green Bay ran into a buzzsaw on February 12th at Youngstown State. Yep, that's right, Youngstown State. The Penguins have won three straight, and are sitting in 6th-place in the HL standings. 6th-place is an important spot in the HL, as it's the final team to host a 1st-round game in the HL Tournament. Just to refresh your memory, the top two seeds receive byes into the semi-final round, with seeds 3-6 hosting 1st-round games against seeds 7-10. The tournament moves to the site of the top-seed beginning with 2nd-round games.
With two weeks left in the regular season, it would take a monumental collapse by Butler for them to not win the regular season crown and host the HL Tournament. Green Bay is still certainly in the driver's seat for the other "golden ticket" to the semi-final round, but with games @ Cleveland State and @ Wright State, things could get interesting.
Speaking of Cleveland State, the return of D'Aundray Brown has the offense clicking a little better. They still have a home date with Green Bay, and a trip to Butler in their future, so leap-frogging the Phoenix won't be easy.
Milwaukee will host Butler, but also must travel to Wright State, so their prospects for moving up are slim.
If you've been able to follow this, you probably realize by now that Wright State is the team to watch over the next two weeks. If Cleveland State can get by Green Bay on February 14th, look out, as Wright State hosts both Milwaukee and Green Bay on the final weekend of the regular season.
This isn't madness – this is chaos.
- Butler vs. UIC – 7:00pm ET on ESPNU
- Cleveland St. vs. Green Bay – 7:30pm ET on HLN
- Milwaukee vs. Butler – 8:00pm ET on HLN
- Wright State vs. Northeastern – 11:00am ET on ESPNU
- Butler @ Davidson – 12:00pm ET on ESPN
- Green Bay @ Long Beach State – 5:30pm ET on ESPNU
- Milwaukee vs. North Dakota State – 8:00pm ET on HLN
- Wright State vs. Milwaukee – 7:00pm ET on HLN

*HLN refers to the Horizon League Network, the Horizon League's broadband initiative, which is set to webcast 130 men's basketball games this season…including out-of-conference "home" contests and ALL in-league matchups. The Horizon League offers the service for FREE, and signing up takes about 30 seconds. The site also offers on-demand content, team-specific features, and a weekly update featuring the "goings-on" around the league. The site also features a blog, if you're really craving more Horizon League content.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - For the first time in the Delaware Valley Region, a patient has undergone a complex and intricate bilateral hand transplant that could significantly enhance the quality-of-life for persons with multiple limb loss. The procedure was performed by Penn's Hand Transplant Program which operates under the leadership of the Penn Transplant Institute and in collaboration with Gift of Life Donor Program, the nonprofit organ and tissue donor program which serves the eastern half of Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware. The highly-trained team's first bilateral hand transplant was performed in September. At this time, the patient is progressing well and both the patient and donor family wish to remain anonymous.
Working closely with their partners at Gift of Life Donor Program, a team of 30 members - 12 surgeons, three anesthesiologists and 15 nurses - performed the 11-and-one-half hour procedure which is Penn's first venture into the emerging field of Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA). The team included experts in solid organ transplantation, orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery, reconstructive microsurgery, and anesthesia.
"At Penn, we have the level of surgical and academic expertise required to not only offer complicated VCA procedures, but also the capabilities to help establish the standards for this emerging field," said L. Scott Levin, MD, FACS, director of the Penn Hand Transplant Program, chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, the Paul. B. Magnuson Professor of Bone and Joint Surgery, Professor of Surgery (Division of Plastic Surgery).
"As a top academic medical center, we have the range of expertise required to perform these complex procedures involving multiple, interacting structures and systems in the body," added Benjamin Chang, MD, co-director of Penn's Hand Transplant Program, program director and associate chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery and associate professor of Clinical Surgery. "We will continue our three-pronged mission of striving for clinical, educational and research excellence in VCA which will help many amputees."
Double hand transplantation is a complex procedure that involves surgical and non-surgical components. First, the proposed recipient must undergo extensive medical screenings and evaluations before surgery. During the surgery, the hands and forearms from a donor are attached which includes connecting bone, blood vessels, nerves, muscles, tendons and skin. First, the forearm bones - the radius and ulna - are connected with steel plates and screws. Next, the arteries and veins are attached via delicate microvascular surgical techniques. Once blood flow is established through the re-connected blood vessels, surgeons repair each muscle individually and rejoin tendons and tendons to muscles, one-by-one. After the muscles and tendons are completed, surgeons reattach nerves before the final careful closing of the skin occurs.
After surgery, hand transplant patients are prescribed daily immunosuppressant medications to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new limbs, which is then followed-up by months, perhaps years of rigorous physical therapy to regain hand function and use. Physicians expect that patients compliant with follow-up care will see significant improvement in function within the first year after the initial surgery.
In contrast to the requirements of identifying a solid organ donor, selecting a donor for hand transplants involved additional matching criteria such as gender, ethnicity, race, skin color and tone, and size. These procedures raise difficult and novel ethical challenges. Respect for donors and their families and careful selection of recipients along with commitment to informed consent are essential.
"For 37 years, Gift of Life Donor Program has partnered with the transplant centers throughout this region to bring innovative transplant procedures to patients in need," stated Richard Hasz, vice president of Clinical Services for Gift of Life. "As with all types of transplant, surgeries such as this one could not take place without the generosity of a donor and a donor family. We thank them for their selflessness and for their gift that made this surgery possible."
"Reconstructive VCA surgeries are the new frontier of surgical transplantation and the results are very promising," said Abraham Shaked, MD, PhD, director of Penn's Transplant Institute, vice chairman of the Department of Surgery, and the Eldridge L. Eliason Professor of Surgery. "Our decades of experience in solid organ transplantation can successfully be applied to Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation and we're prepared to continue moving ahead with the major advancement in the care of patients in need of limb transplantation."
For now, the Penn Hand Transplant Program will only perform bilateral transplants, particularly treating quadramembral amputees. "Someone who has had both arms and legs amputated is completely and totally dependent," said Dr. Levin. The most basic functions of life are virtually impossible to perform such as locomotion, eating, personal grooming and hygiene. It's our goal at Penn Medicine for our multi-disciplinary team to work seamlessly together in the field of VCA so we can successfully treat these patients - from victims of trauma or infection, to war veterans - and give them their lives back."
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4 billion enterprise.
Penn's Perelman School of Medicine is currently ranked #2 in U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools and among the top 10 schools for primary care. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $507.6 million awarded in the 2010 fiscal year.

Ultimate roast potatoes
This foolproof recipe will ensure even first timers get crispy skins and fluffy insides. Make sure your potatoes are perfect for Sunday lunch or even Christmas dinner

- 1kg Maris Piper potato
The world's favourite root vegetable, the potato comes in innumerable varieties. A member of…
- 100g duck or goose fat fat (for a luxurious taste), or 100ml/3½fl oz olive oil
- 2 tsp flour
Flour is usually made from grinding wheat, maize, rye, barley or rice. As the main…
- Maldon salt, to serve
Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
Peel the 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat – they will sizzle as they go in – then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.
Recipe Tip
Crispy spudsTo get really crispy roast potatoes, make sure the fat or oil is really hot before you add the potatoes.

Two DVDs or videos, includes music and tab: Special Guest Barry Mitterhoff, mandolin.
This is the ultimate course in Jorma Kaukonen's unique and influential blues and country guitar fingerpicking style, filled with invaluable wisdom, advice and techniques for learning pickers at all levels. Jorma gears this material to players who have little knowledge of the fingerpicking basics while skillfully engaging more experienced guitarists as well. You'll learn five traditional and original songs, each one becoming a springboard for important musical information that will be applicable to any songs you want to play. Jorma teaches at a leisurely pace, taking care to point out all the possible variations that will enable you to make each song your own. Reviewing the chord positions needed for each song, Jorma slows them down phrase-by-phrase so that almost anyone will be able to play the piece with a little practice. He discusses his alternate bass thumb work, and adds runs, bends, double-stops, bass walk-ups, blues licks, turnarounds, endings and ornamental notes to enhance your fingerpicking and blues arrangements. In addition to the instructional material, these sessions feature a dynamic "live" performance of each song by Jorma and his touring partner Barry Mitterhoff. They include much-requested tunes "I'll Let You Know Before I Leave," "Trouble in Mind," "Tom Cat Blues," "Genesis" and "Vampire Women."
Beginner: Instructor assumes that you have not been playing very long, but know the basics. The material is still at a very easy level, but certain elementary things are not explained.

DOVER — On Saturday, Dec. 1, at 11 a.m., the Dover Public Library will host a free, live classical music concert featuring three performers and some well-known pieces from Mozart, including the "Turkish March", a violin sonata, and arias from his operas. Designed especially for families, the concert's length will be just 40-45 minutes so that children may attend and enjoy the music too. The performers' goal is to encourage classical music appreciation among all ages.
Performing will be: Naho Bessho on piano, Sally Wituszynski on violin, and soprano Melissa Manseau.
Bessho, born in Japan, is a concert pianist in Dover. At age 19 she won the highest award at the Japan Classical Music Competition. She graduated from Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music with a Master of Music degree. In 1999, she played a piano concerto with the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra from Poland. In 2001, she won 2nd prize at the Yangtze-River-Cup International Competition in Osaka. She came to the United States in 2002, and graduated from Boston University with a Performance Diploma in 2006. Since then she has given many piano recitals in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New Hampshire. In 2010, Naho released her first CD, "Invitation". This October, she gave a solo recital at Historical Piano Concerts, presented by the Frederic Historic Piano Collection, in Ashburnham, MA, where she played a 1840 Erard piano.
Wituszynski earned a Bachelor's degree in Viola Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. She has also completed a Master's degree in Music Education from the University of New Hampshire. Sally is a founding member of the Artful Noise String Quartet and has played in many ensembles, including the Vermont Symphony, the Hanover Handel Society, the Granite State Symphony, and the New Hampshire Philharmonic. Sally currently teaches music at Berwick Academy and at Tri-City Christian Academy, and she is the Master Teacher for the UNH String Project.
Manseau is a Farmington resident and has a master's in vocal performance from the University of Northern Iowa. She has a Bachelor's degree in music education from the University of New Hampshire. Melissa was an Apprentice Artist with the Sarasota Opera in 2001. Most recently, Melissa performed with the Cape Cod Opera. In addition, she recorded three song sets with Parma Records, one of which was submitted for consideration at the Grammy Awards. Last winter, she played the role of Mother in "Amahl and the Night Visitors" in Dover.

Call them nutty, call them nonsensical, call them a waste of time – but call them common. According to a recent Associated Press poll, one out of five sports fans say they do things to "make" their team win – or to fend off disaster. WITH SIDEBAR POSTED SEPARATELY.
There may be nothing more pressure-packed and isolating in sports than standing in the batter's box, knowing your next swing could end your season or set off a grand celebration. Out of the hitter's sight, however, an army of fans in box seats and living rooms across Red Sox nation carefully – some might say obsessively – observe a host of rituals they think could determine whether you whiff or go yard. Call it nutty, call it nonsensical, call it a waste of time – but call it common. According to a recent Associated Press poll, one out of five fans say they perform superstitious rituals to "make" their team win – or to fend off disaster. With the Red Sox up by two games in the World Series against the Colorado Rockies, a number of local fans are likely patting themselves on the back for voodooing their team toward an increasingly likely championship. It may be no surprise that fans who thought themselves subject to an 86-year-old curse tried to invoke magic to make it all go away. But many fans are observing rituals that only started with the historic Sox championship in 2004. Faith Weiner of Stoughton gets a positive vibe going on game day by waking up to Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione's call for the 2004 World Series' final out. Weiner, who downloaded the call to her cell phone, says the club has a winning record on days she sets the alarm. "Toward the end of the season, they came on real strong and I used my cell phone every day," she said. " I feel like I have to pull out all the stops for important games." Sandy Fardie's ritual started in 2003 with a lucky shirt. But the Lakeville resident's good-luck gear has swelled since then, including her Red Sox bracelets. But the Stoughton native really brings her A-game in the post season. For every game, Fardie wears cotton pants printed with Red Sox logos, her shirt, her two bracelets, and an American League East championship hat, because she attended the game the night the Red Sox won and the Yankees lost to clinch the division for the Sox. Most importantly, Fardie must don her entire outfit before the game: Timing is critical, as the Sox lost two games to the Indians when she failed to get dressed in time. "My husband basically says I have taken it to a level he didn't know existed," Fardie said. She doesn't wear the outfit solely in the privacy of her own home. When her husband, who is a drag racer, had a race in Pennsylvania during Game 6 against Cleveland, Fardie managed to sneak away from the track and get into uniform. "You feel like you're going to jinx them," Fardie said. "Of course we know intuitively that it's not what we do, it's just what you do to get in the spirit." So is your spouse/roomate/co-worker convinced that your bizarre rituals have rendered you totally nuts? Well, good news: you're probably not. Diane Davey, a registered nurse who is director of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorders Institute at MacLean Hospital in Belmont, says obsessive activities only rise to the level of a disorder if they really interfere with one's life or if they take more than an hour per day to perform. Davey said most superstitious fans are just soothing themselves at a tense time. "I do think the superstitious behaviors do give people some semblance of control over the uncontrollable, so there is some sort of calming effect there," she said. "If it brings you comfort to wear your unwashed David Ortiz shirt, that's OK." Then of course, there are the fans who truly suffer for their team. Ed Keohane of Quincy isn't just any fan – he's former president of the BoSox club, the team's official fan club. Keohane's deal is that he cannot move from whatever seat he is sitting in for any game, through the whole season, for any reason whatsoever. In other words, if nature calls, Keohane doesn't answer until the last out in the ninth. And then there's Quincy's Tony Agnitti. Like former Sox third baseman Wade Boggs, who famously ate chicken before every game, Agnitti's ritual – which began just before the Sox rally to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Serie – is gastronomic in nature. "I go somewhere to have a hot dog with mustard, whether I'm going to the game or not," he said. And as most fans know, if a little luck is good – more is better. Especially if you happen to really enjoy your particular ritual. On his way to a game with his son earlier in the playoffs, Agnitti said they stopped on Yawkee Way and had a dog on their way in. Once inside the park he said to his son, "'Hey, we have to have a hot dog for good luck.' And my son said, 'I thought we already did.' And I said, 'Shut up, kid.'" Julie Jette will be wearing her husband's lucky "Pat the Patriot" hat for the remainder of the World Series. She may be reached at email@example.com.

October 09
In 1940, musician and peace activist John Lennon was born.
|9 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Historical Figure & Event
John Lennon, a member of the Beatles, was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. With the Beatles and as a solo artist, Lennon was hugely influential musically, culturally, and politically throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Lennon wrote and recorded many songs over the course of his career, including the antiwar song "Give Peace a Chance." He was murdered by a crazed fan on December 8, 1980, in New York City.
John Lennon is well known for many songs; however, his most famous song is probably "Imagine," in which he asks his listeners to consider a world without war and violence. After listening to the song or reading the lyrics, ask students to discuss the following questions, depending upon their grade and skill level:
- The speaker refers to himself as a "dreamer." What other words would you use to describe the speaker?
- Is the world that the speaker imagines possible? What prevents peace from happening? What can be done to try to make it happen? How has September 11 changed your feelings about world peace?
- Write a stanza of your own for the song that begins with the phrase "Imagine..." Draw a picture below your stanza to illustrate the world you have imagined.
- John Lennon: The Official Site
This media-rich site offers a history and biography of Lennon, as well as videos, drawings, and a discography. Photographs and videos of Lennon are found throughout the site.
- Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum: Inductees: John Lennon
This museum site includes a biography and timeline of Lennon, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
- Imagine Peace
A site created by Yoko Ono in rembrance and celebration of John Lennon.

On my main workstation, lm-sensors provides apparently contradictory temperature reading for the CPU, depending on the sensor:
radeon-pci-0200 Adapter: PCI adapter GPU Temperature: +62.0°C k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter CPU Temperature: +17.0°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +68.0°C) atk0110-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface [...] CPU FAN Speed: 1890 RPM (min = 0 RPM) [...] CPU Temperature: +32.0°C (high = +90.0°C, crit = +125.0°C) MB Temperature: +42.0°C (high = +45.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)
17°C, as reported by the CPU sensor, seems very low especially as the temperature of the room the computer is running inside is at least 17°C already. Clearly, the Motherboard sensor (atk0110 / IT8716F chip) readings, same as what the BIOS reports, are more sensible.
There's actually lot of misinformation on the web. For instance, CoreTemp author, a proprietary software for MS Windows to provide CPU temperature readings, states on his front page that "all major processor manufacturers have implemented a DTS (Digital Thermal Sensor) in their products. The DTS provides more accurate and higher resolution temperature readings than conventional onboard thermal sensors". Possibly, probably, right: k10temp may be more accurate than atk0110. However, when the same author reply, on his forum, to a user asking about inconsistencies in CPU temperature readings, clearly interested in real and not relative temperature (he wrote :"I'm running water cooling and the temps aren't high during load but just wondering about the accuracy", high temperature is meaningless on an undefined relative scale), that "I'd say that Core Temp is more accurate, especially at higher temperatures. The ASUS programs sensors are based on the motherboard and depend on an external chip. The sensors Core Temp reads are located in the CPU itself and the values are read directly from the CPU registers.", he clearly shows misunderstanding of what superior accuracy CPU sensors really mean.
As documented by AMD mentioned in the k10temp linux module doc, "[k10temp] is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to control cooling systems, […] is a non-physical temperature on an arbitrary scale measured in degrees, […] does not represent an actual physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation".
I was about to publish this article without paying attention to Intel sensors, but a quick search lead to me even worse: a comment about Core Temp in a doc titled CPU Monitoring with DTS/PECI stating : "These tools provide a convenient way to see the temperature variation reported by the sensor […] There are several issues with these tools. First the assumed value for Tj may not be correct and thus impact the accuracy of actual temperature reporting. Secondly the DTS is only accurate when in the adjacency of Tj. Not knowing the intention and effective range of DTS, the tools try to compensate with the inaccuracy of low temperature reading, which may not be a correct interpretation."
However accurate they may be, relative readings provided by CoreTemp for AMD K10 are almost meaningless to an end user (while great for the system for fancontrol and such), likely expecting to be able to compare them to other (motherboard|hard disk|etc) readings. In my case, surely k10temp mean something (17°C is low) but it makes no sense to compare it to the room (20°C), GPU (62°C), PATA Hard Disk (39°C), Motherboard (42°) or any other else temperature. In short, except if you know exactly what you're doing, use Motherboard sensors and if you're looking for an alternative to CoreTemp, try Open Hardware Monitor.

Cookies and Scream - Cozy Days of Summer Giveaway
Let me tell you how hot it is here… Think about what it's like when you open the oven to take out a cookie pan. Feel that sudden whoosh of 375℉ air as it hits your cheeks? Well, that's what it's like when I open the door of The Gingerbread House to take Spunky, my little Yorkie, outside for a "visit to the side yard." Spunky does his business fast, and we hightail it back inside.
The Gingerbread House is my dream store. We sell anything and everything cookie, including new, vintage, and antique cookie cutters. The store occupies the whole ground floor of a sweet Queen Anne house for which I pay a hefty mortgage. My apartment is upstairs. Believe me, after my first summer back in my hometown—Chatterley Heights, Maryland—I had air conditioners installed throughout the house. My business partner and best friend since age ten, Maddie, and I do tons of cookie cutting, baking, and decorating in the store kitchen. Melting into a puddle is not part of our business plan.
Even so, we recently decided to close The Gingerbread House for what I suspect was the hottest week in human history. Most everyone in town had fled to cooler spots, so we did, too. When we returned, the weather had barely cooled, and tempers were boiling over.
Here's the scoop—while we were chilling in the mountains, a former, less-than-beloved resident had returned to Chatterley Heights after decades of living abroad. Her name is Greta. She intends to settle down in our midst, whether she is welcome or not.
Now, normally I stay out of those nasty feuds that seem to pop up in small towns, but I'm feeling the undertow. Greta, so it seems, possesses an extensive, fabulous, and valuable antique cookie cutter collection. She wants to sell it to help fund her retirement. To be more precise, she wants me to broker the sale. Greta says she was a good friend of my dear (and late) friend, Clarisse. But Clarisse isn't here to vouch for her, and several folks in town do seem to harbor serious grudges against her.
I live and breathe cookie cutters, and I eat cutout cookies to excess, but I've never brokered the sale of an antique cutter collection. I'd love to give it a try! It might be a lot of fun, and I could learn so much. Only there's this inconvenient, irritating little voice in my head that's asking me—what am I getting myself into?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Every day in June and July the Killer Characters are giving away books for your stack of summer reading! Leave a comment by midnight for a chance to win a copy of COOKIES AND SCREAM, the newest book in Virginia Lowell's Cookie Cutter Shop. Since COOKIES AND SCREAM hits the shelves on July 1, Virginia is celebrating by giving away a second copy of Olivia and Maddie's newest sleuthing adventure. Leave a comment for a chance to win!

Cogmap's Home Page is actually fairly awesomeTuesday, April 9th, 2013
Cogmap's home page is awesome. It is awesome like an Apple product. That is how awesome it is.
I was contemplating Cogmap's home page today and how I could change it to make you love Cogmap more. (Cogmap is both severely under-resourced and was created pre-good tools for split-testing, so no other home page has ever really existed.)
Here is my story:
One of the great things about Apple marketing is that all they do for marketing is show you how to use the product. When people go buy an iPhone, they already know how to use it because the commercials they saw that made them want the iPhone trained them how to use it.
The Cogmap home page is fairly similar in that way. It does a great job of showing you what the product does and how to use it – it's usability, much like a good Apple product, is its best feature.

Dinner Tonight: Tarragon Crab Salad Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
The great thing about real red summer tomatoes is they don't need much help. Usually I just sprinkle them with a bit of salt, and maybe some olive oil. But I was attracted to this variation from Gourmet, because it seemed like such an elegant little salad. The tomato would form a base for some seasoned crab meat. Paired with bread, this makes for an absolutely perfect light dinner.
I decided to use a good-quality canned crab instead of purchasing a bunch of vicious little crabs, steaming them, and then ripping them apart. That said, I'm sure you could find a fishmonger that may do all that work for you. But the canned variety really does work in a pinch. The same reasoning does not apply to the tomatoes. Only ripe and rich summer tomatoes should be cut up here.
- Yield:3 to 4 people
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 2 teaspoon tarragon, chopped
- 3 tablespoons chives, chopped
- 2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
- 3 cups baby romaine leaves
- Salt and pepper
Add the yolk, vinegar, water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender. Process until smooth, and with the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil.
Combine the dressing with the crab meat, tarragon, and chives. Toss well.
Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.

As networks continue to be enthralled by true-life stories of famous people briefly doing non-famous people things just like us before they return to being famous, Tyra Banks and Rachel Zoe have been added to the growing list of celebrities currently developing shows about themselves. ABC has Banks' sitcom, a show chronicling the awkward, hellish adolescence that Banks endured for approximately two years or so before becoming a professional model at the age of 15, and which will be titled Fivehead. "In high school, if you have glasses, you're a 'four eyes,' if you have braces, you're a 'metal mouth' but if you had my forehead? You're a Fivehead," Banks told Deadline, in typical Tyra Banks fashion, as though she was the first person to ever say these things.
Meanwhile over at NBC, stylist, designer, and both architect and construction site of The Rachel Zoe Project Rachel Zoe has her own single-camera comedy about a slightly fictionalized version of herself, one that will capture all the real-life misadventures of being both celebrity stylist and regular mom that are somehow not already captured on The Rachel Zoe Project. Also, Fivehead will have crossovers with The Rachel Zoe Zhow [Note: Not a real title] where they travel to Central America to fight a guerrilla army like on The A-Team, and one of them makes a "fighting a banana republic while wearing Banana Republic" joke. Just kidding. We're just making stuff up now, because both of these ideas sound excruciating.

Review: Nas Delivers at Squamish Valley Music Festival
This weekend, the 2014 Squamish Music Festival descended over Squamish, British Columbia, Canada and brought over 35,000 music lovers out for one of Canada's largest festivals. Taking place at Centennial Field, Logger Sports Grounds and Hendrickson Fields, the festival spanned over three days with a very impressive lineup, including Nas, Bruno Mars, Lykke Li, The Roots, and more.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Illmatic, Nas headlined the festival on Friday night, performing the entire album from beginning to end. Dressed in a white t-shirt, denim jeans, and a denim vest, Nas took to the Tantalus stage to take hip hop fans back through time with a performance of N. Y. State of Mind.
For one full hour, Nas rocked the audience with a high energy set, performing hip hop classics "One Love," "The World Is Yours," and more from the iconic album. Just when the audience thought it was over, the emcee jumped into more classics from his catalogue, including "Got Yourself A Gun," "Made You Look," and more.

LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas' unemployment rate declined one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.4 percent in December, according to labor statistics released Tuesday.
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas' unemployment rate declined one-tenth of a percentage point to 7.4 percent in December, according to labor statistics released Tuesday.
The state's jobless rate last month was higher than the December 2012 rate of 7.1 percent and the national jobless rate for last month of 6.7 percent, the state Department of Workforce Services reported.
The national unemployment rate was down from the November rate of 7 percent.
"Arkansas' unemployment rate declined in December, largely the result of a gain in employment and a corresponding increase in the size of the civilian labor force," said DWS spokeswoman Becky Heflin. "This is the second month in a row that Arkansas' employment has increased."
The agency reported that 1.2 million Arkansans were employed in December and 98,500 were unemployed. The civilian labor force grew by 2,600 people in December.
Three major industry sectors reported gains in December, while five reported losses. The largest increase was in trade, transportation and utilities, which added 1,600 jobs, 1,300 of them a result of holiday hiring in retail trade.
Five sectors reported losses. Leisure and hospitality posted the largest decrease with 2,600 jobs lost, 2,000 of them in food services, a typical seasonal trend. Government employment dropped by 1,300 jobs, with 900 of those in state government and about 500 in local government, mostly because of the holiday break at public schools. Employment in professional and business services declined by 1,300 jobs, 1,000 of them in administrative and support services, which includes seasonal businesses such as travel agencies and landscaping services.

A nifty medley from Andrew Johnson at the Corner of our media collectively deciding what social justice now requires after the Zimmerman verdict. (Dick Durbin announced just this morning that he'll be holding a Senate hearing on "stand your ground" laws, on the theory, I guess, that state legislatures are somehow incapable of doing so themselves.) Anyway: Is it true, as many supporters of the verdict have claimed, that "Stand Your Ground" had nothing to do with the outcome of the trial? Well, yes. And no. But also yes.
Had he chose, Zimmerman could have demanded a "Stand Your Ground" hearing in the pre-trial phase. If the judge had ruled in his favor, the charges would have been thrown out. He waived his right to that hearing, which means the media obsession with SYG is a total non sequitur, sort of like their obsession with gun laws post-Newtown that would have done zip to stop Adam Lanza. Right? Not exactly. The concept of standing your ground, i.e. having no duty to retreat when force is being used against you, is also part of the general self-defense law that Zimmerman did successfully invoke in being acquitted. From the jury instructions:
If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
Thirty-one states impose no duty to retreat on someone before they're allowed to use force in their own defense versus just 19 that do. But wait — how do we know that SYG actually factored into the jury's deliberations and affected the outcome? Just because the judge charged it doesn't mean it mattered in the end. Well, thanks to juror B37, there's circumstantial evidence to think that it did:
Juror B37: After hours and hours and hours of deliberating over the law, and reading it over and over and over again, we decided there's just no way … because of the heat of the moment and the Stand Your Ground …
Cooper: Even though it's he [Zimmerman] who had gotten out of the car, followed Trayvon Martin, that didn't matter in the deliberations? What mattered was those final seconds, minutes, when there was an altercation, and … in your mind the most important thing was whether or not George Zimmerman felt his life was in danger?
Juror: That's how we read the law. That's how we got to the point of everybody being "not guilty."
Cooper: So that was the belief of the jury, that you had to zero in on those final minutes/seconds, about the threat that George Zimmerman believed he faced?
Juror: That's exactly what had happened.
That's just one juror's read on the situation, not all six, but obviously SYG did make it into the jury room. The question is, would the verdict have been different if Florida law imposed a duty to retreat instead? I'm thinking probably not. If you believe Zimmerman's version of the fight, which the jurors apparently did, Martin ambushed him with a punch, knocking him to the ground, and then jumped on top of him to continue the beating. There was no opportunity for "retreat," a point also made by Jacob Sullum at Reason. The duty to retreat affects the outcome here only if you extend the concept of "retreat" temporally to apply before there was any confrontation. I.e. Zimmerman got out of his car to keep an eye on Martin, ergo he's guilty of manslaughter for not letting the other guy bang his head on the concrete subsequently. Is that a more just result? Does it matter, for that matter, that even "stand your ground" laws don't apply if the person claiming self-defense is found to have provoked the use of force against himself? How far does the left want to stretch the concept of "retreat" here?
Don't take any of this too seriously, though. Like I said yesterday, the SYG outcry is less about the particulars of the Zimmerman case and more about giving liberals something to rally around for the midterms when the DOJ inevitably decides not to prosecute Zimmerman. This is politics.

By The Editors
The world's condemnation of Vladimir Putin's power grab in Ukraine is missing one important voice: China's. That's no surprise.
Since assuming office, Chinese President Xi Jinping has put great emphasis on building up his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Both men fancy themselves strong, charismatic leaders bent on restoring their nations to greatness.
But if China wants to be the world leader it claims to be, it cannot afford to sit on the sidelines this time. Xi spoke with U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday night and, contrary to Russian claims of Chinese support, agreed on the "importance of upholding principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, both in the context of Ukraine and also for the broader functioning of the international system."
That's a nod in the right direction, not a bold step.
The difficulty for Xi is that he considers Russia -- his first overseas stop after becoming president -- to be a useful counterbalance to the West. It's also an increasingly important source of energy andadvanced weaponry.
Even as China, in its one public comment on Russia's incursion in Crimea, reaffirmed its respect for Ukraine's independence and sovereignty, it underscored that "there are reasons that the Ukrainian situation is what it is today" -- a reference to the messy collapse of the Soviet Union, which both Xi and Putin agree was a tragedy.
Yet the real bond in the Sino-Russian relationship is the very principle Putin has just violated in Ukraine: noninterference in another nation's internal affairs. Moscow and Beijing cling tightly to the dictum to justify United Nations Security Council vetoes. It's critical to both, given their shared worries about how outsiders might exploit ethnic tensions and democracy movements within their countries.
If Putin continues to advance in Ukraine, forcing a military confrontation or breakup of the country, he may well push China to take a stronger stand. The truth is that in material terms, China gains less than Russia does from their relationship. The latter accounts fora little more than 2 percent of China's external trade. While volumes are growing, in 2011 China got only about 6 percent of its imported oil from Russia.
And though China is Russia's largest trading partner, Putin has also been hedging his bets. He has sought to expand rail links, pipelines and energy exports not just to China but also to both Koreas and to China's archrival Japan. Russia is aiming to sell sophisticated weaponry to India, and has deepened economic and military relations with Vietnam. Moscow has longstanding fears about Beijing's influence in its Far East, where an influx of Chinese traders has virtually colonized the region.
In other matters affecting international stability, China hasacknowledged its responsibility to get involved. It has, for instance, agreed to chase pirates off the coast of Somalia even if they flee into territorial waters, and it has chosen not to obstruct some international sanctions against Iran and North Korea. Implicitly tolerating Putin's adventurism now only reinforces fears about China's behavior -- especially among its neighbors, who already suspect that it aims to annex several islands and atolls across the East and South China Seas.
China ultimately shares the same goals in Ukraine as the rest of the world: to affirm the sanctity of international borders, avoid bloodshed and restore stability to global markets as quickly as possible. All would be accomplished much faster and more durably if China spoke out now against Putin's aggression.

Leather. 2014 Land Rover Range Rover 5.0L V8 Supercharged 4WD 8-Speed Automatic 5.0L V8 SuperchargedProviding world class service that over 100,000 customers have experienced at a Bennett dealership over the past 67 years, the Bennett Automotive Group is family owned and operated and our staff of dedicated team members at our six locations is eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm.Reviews:* Sharp styling; spectacular interior design; exacting craftsmanship; remarkable off-road dexterity; extraordinarily quick with supercharged V8 engine. Source: Edmunds* Every generation of Range Rover sets a new benchmark and the 4th generation is a bold evolution of the design. While the new shape is more refined the key lines and architectural shapes instantly tell you it's a Range Rover. The signature clamshell hood, floating roof, deep imposing grille and headlamp graphics have the familiar presence, yet the front of the new vehicle is subtly different. Dynamic Response uses an electronic two-channel control system to independently regulate both front and rear suspension units. This dramatically reduces body lean during cornering and enhances control and stability. The system, available for the first time on Range Rover, is standard with the 5.0L V8 Supercharged engine with eight-speed automatic transmission. It is designed to reduce fuel consumption and help lower CO2 emissions without compromising power. Capable of taking on tougher situations than ever before, the new four-corner air suspension system is designed to keep the Range Rover composed and stable no matter how rough the terrain. For unprecedented ride quality, it switches heights seamlessly when necessary. Terrain Response puts Range Rover's full capabilities at the driver's command. This next generation system monitors driving conditions and automatically optimizes the vehicle's settings to suit the terrain. The refinement of the interior gives a sense of wellbeing: the broader, more refined center console puts essential controls within easy reach, while the clean, elegant surfaces with fine leathers and veneers give a feeling of serenity and calm. A panoramic roof brings a new aspect to Range Rover. It floods the interior with light, enhancing the feeling of space and being connected to the outside. The Rear Executive Class seats give a new dimension to relaxing. Seating two individual passengers, this configuration allows for even more space with the addition of a massage function as a comforting extra. Source: The Manufacturer Summary* If you want the ability to traverse any terrain while ensconced in a cocoon of the finest amenities, the 2014 Range Rover fits the bill. This 4-wheel-drive vehicle is just as at ease ascending the Andes as it is pulling up to the opera. Source: KBB.com

It fueled fantasies, ignited debates, and even introduced a notorious new phrase to the English language. Now, after thirty years, the revolutionary novel known as "Fear of Flying" still stands as a timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood.

So, not only was Dykstra's supposed success in picking stocks a complete sham, but today it comes out that he secretly accepted $250,000 worth of shares in exchange for pimping an obscure stock. How is this man not in jail yet?
When Dykstra was a golden boy at TheStreet.com, a curious recommendation showed up. He heavily promoted AVT, a little-known penny stock, claiming it was going to explode and make everyone rich. And who could be faulted for disbelieving him? At one point, Dykstra's picks were 99 winners to only one loser.
Of course, now we know how he fudged the numbers. (A stock can't technically be a loss until you sell it.) And now, according to one of Dykstra's top advisers at the time, we know why he pushed AVT so hard.
According to Richard O'Connor, Dykstra accepted $250,000 worth of stock in AVT in exchange for putting it in his newsletter.
O'Connor claims that Dykstra told him he knew the pay-to-plug arrangement was illegal. To avoid getting caught, O'Connor says, the former All-Star baseball player had a solution: "We can just put the stock in Keith's name," referring to his brother-in-law, Keith Peel.
Additionally, he promised the founder of AVT that he would give her access to Jim Cramer, the biggest name in populist finance. According to O'Connor, that was one of a number of small company CEOs offering cash and stock to Dykstra in exchange for his influence with Cramer.
It's easy to blame Cramer for unleashing Dykstra upon the world without first doing his homework. And it's easy to blame HBO's Real Sports for swallowing the story, hook line and sinker. But it's easy to forget how things worked in that time of irrational exuberance: we listened to what we were told, because these people were making money. Everyone was making money. Hell, even yours truly applied for a highly coveted job at Dykstra's ill-fated Players Club magazine.
So, let's not fault anyone for buying what Dykstra was selling. Let's fault Dykstra for being a huge scumbag, a liar, a con artist, and now, a fraud worthy of an SEC investigation.
