The primary purpose of the S.J.D. degree is to provide an opportunity and environment for scholarly research mainly for persons who are either in or preparing for academic or comparable scholarly legal careers.
- Admission. The conditions of admission to the S.J.D. program are:
- A J.D. or equivalent American or foreign first law degree, as well as work satisfying 1(d), below;
- in the case of holders of law degrees from foreign countries, proof of completion of all academic work necessary for entering upon the practice or apprenticeship for the practice of law, judicial office, or the teaching of law at university level;
- outstanding academic performance as evidenced by the quality of program, written work, recommendations from teachers, and grades;
- submission of a substantial written research project demonstrating a high capacity for the legal research and writing in English necessary for a successful S.J.D. dissertation. The preferred evidence of such capacity is a good quality University of Wisconsin LL.M. thesis. S.J.D. applicants may, however, present equivalent work (such as substantial LL.M. thesis done at another University, a monograph or law review article);
- in the case of holders of law degrees from universities where the greater part of their instruction was not in English, proof of high proficiency in English for advanced study of law; high proficiency will ordinarily be demonstrated by a score of at least 625/263 (computer-based) on the TOEFL examination;
- a detailed research proposal of at least six (6) double-spaced typed pages specifying the objectives, methodology, required materials and timetable;
- acceptance by the Graduate Programs Committee
- consent of a faculty member of the Law School to act as the candidate's principal academic advisor (the Graduate Programs Committee will first decide on admission and then it will seek an advisor; if no suitable advisor is available, admission will also be declined).
- Program. The S.J.D. program shall adhere to the following guidelines:
- Research toward a doctoral dissertation is the core of the program. The dissertation should be equivalent in quality and substance to a substantial monograph.
- Ordinarily, students seeking the S.J.D. may not take courses for credit. Exceptions may be made on the advice of the advisor and with the consent of the chair of the Graduate Programs Committee when the course is a seminar involving substantial writing obligations consistent with the thesis topic.
- Full-time S.J.D. candidates shall register for 12 credits for each of the first two semesters of residency, unless they have already established residency from immediately preceding LL.M. work being continued in the S.J.D. dissertation without a break of more than one semester=s time. Except where a seminar is authorized, those credits shall be in directed research. A minimum of 24 credit hours is required for completion of the S.J.D. degree. To qualify for the S.J.D. degree, the candidate must also prepare an acceptable thesis (see 5 below)
- Residence.
Registration and physical presence as a full-time student for one academic year with satisfactory completion of at least 24 credits is required. S.J.D. candidates who have completed their residence requirement, including those who have completed their residence requirement from an immediately preceding LL.M. program (see 2(c), above), may maintain full-time law school status during the second year registering for 3 credits each semester
- Term for completion of program.
The program is to be completed no later than three calendar years after the residence period. A residence period that was established during immediately preceding LL.M. work being continued in the S.J.D. program is considered the residence period of the S.J.D. program for the purposes of this section.
- Award of degree.
- The granting of a degree shall be recommended to the Law School faculty on the completion of the following: approval of the thesis by the principal academic advisor and the Reading Committee and approval of the completed program by the Graduate Programs Committee.
- Prior to the recommendation of a degree to the faculty, the candidate shall deposit two suitable copies of the thesis with the Law Library and pay the library's filing expense charge.

It was originally an Air Force project. When video of the first test was shown at ConFrancisco in 1993, it was said that if it ever got transferred to NASA they'd kill it.
NASA was threatened by the Delta Clipper. A ground crew of 3 instead of 15,000? We can't have that! A NASA employee failed to connect the landing gear hydraulic line for one of the tests shortly after NASA took over the project.
These days NASA is more of a jobs program than a space program.
We are sending cargo. We sent a gyroscope the size of a washing machine this trip. The truth is, there is no other launch vehicle on the planet capable of boosting all the remaining pieces of the intenational space station into orbit. If the shuttle cannot complete its its missions, the space station cannot be completed.
I think that because of Star Trek, we are all beholden to the idea of anti-matter propulsion. That may come to pass in some distant future, but right now, it is a fairly unrealistic blue-sky idea.
I would put my chips on nuclear fusion as the long-term future, whenever we develop a replacement for chemical rockets. May years ago, Space.com cited some NASA experiments in the field: [space.com]
NASA engineers are developing a radically new type o
And why should they do that? That is a very, very expensive goal that is almost impossible to achieve. It is much more cost effective to simply go back to the way we used to launch spacecraft (and, note that old way is the way the Russians still launch their spacecraft).
IANA Physicist, but "less thrust" and "less force" to me means you aren't taking much up into space with you. If you can't take material with you, why would you want to go to space? Especially since (as the FA points out) it is much cheaper to use "older" technology to carry over 100 tons up each time (compared with the 20 tons the shuttle presently carries).
And less stuff
They need to stick the Shuttle in the Smithsonian....
The best explanation I have heard is that the physics haven't changed.
We nailed the physics getting Apollo up.
So yes, at first glance it looks like Apollo/Soyuz. But instead of re-inventing Saturn V, they are taking the advances in engine design and applying them to the new rockets.
Makes sense to me, use the parts that worked well (boosters, capsules), ditch the parts that didn't (space plane).
I remember very clearly the first time I saw the shuttle concept proposed. It was 1967, I was in first grade,
By the way: Loaded labor rate includes all expenses attributable to the employee being there - the cost of their desk, computer(s), health plan, the portion of the air conditioning and heating bill for their space, etc. It's part of w
The whole engineering exercise is terribly weight constrained. You can imagine all sorts of solutions, but they add weight. My current favorite is to sandwich foam insulation between aluminum skins. This would prevent the insulati

So what happened to the non-kludge, reusable lifting vehicle? Isn't it about time to build a new one, using existing designs and componet parts?
Given that the shuttle fleet is nearing obsolescence and that it is a 30+ year old design, it's a good idea to move on. And why not use components that have been proven to work already? It simplifies the engineering needed to construct the new vehicle.

Paul Stekler's documentaries about American politics have won numerous national honors including multiple Emmys, Peabodys and du-Pont-Columbia Journalism awards. His documentary work inncludes George Wallace: Settin' the Woods on Fire, Vote for Me: Politics in America, Last Man Standing: Politics Texas Style and Frontline's The Choice 2008. He is currently the Chair of the Radio-Television-Film Department at The University of Texas. He's currently working on a film about New Orleans five years after Katrina, Getting Back to Abnormal.

The Society of American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) is helping people learn to "speak" the unique language of mosaic by teaching others the meaning of the Italian terms that refer to the various processes involved in the creation of a piece of mosaic art. The group also works hard to introduce the various mosaic techniques to those who are newly initiated to the art form.

Tony Pauline: very good coach and has done a great job developing players but too "buddy-buddy" with too many that interferes with his coaching; from not disciplining players to some of his hires.
Nothing was ever asked or mentioned about Ryan as a head coach nor did he say that Ryan has the respect around the league as a head coach.
Spin it all you want. That was not said nor implied. In fact, the last part of the sentence after the "but" tells me just the opposite as to Ryan's abilities and effectiveness as a HEAD coach.
If you want, ask Tony Pauline yourself specifically about Ryan's respect around the league as a head coach. There's more to being a head coach than just coaching and developing players. Ryan's a very good DC. On that you will get no argument from me.

gSplit is a tool that allows you to split and assemble any files you want. It can be used to split big files to be able to store them on different devices. After assembling the different parts of a file, you can then check the file integrity to determine whether everything is now ready to use.
SynchroDir is a backup and synchronization utility. Each backup is the subject of a recordable "backup project". This feature allows you to save projects corresponding to different computers, servers, external hard drives, USB keys, etc. You can also backup data of computer Y to computer Z from a controlling computer X. Each backup project includes an unlimited number of "jobs". At the end of the backup process, a log file is available. Each job has a source and a destination, each corresponding to a volume or a directory. The volume or directory must be "mounted", either locally or over the network.
The Procrastinator's Timeclock is a simple utility for people who suffer from excessive procrastination or distractibility. The utility achieves its benefits by allowing you to comfortably track just how much time your little "one more thing"s are adding up to and by helping to bolster willpower by providing a gentle distraction from temptations. Its design focuses on simplicity, intuitiveness, and a preference for keeping existing users rather than attracting new ones.
QuickTile is a simple attempt to duplicate the basic functionality of WinSplit Revolution for users who don't like the Compiz Grid plugin. It should work on any X11 desktop with PyGTK 2.2+, a window manager that supports the modern range of NETWM hints, and (if you want internal keybinding) python-xlib.
a2b invokes conversion tools in sequence to convert files from one type to another, possibly performing some extra processing along the way. Itis a wrapper for many programs like gif2png, latex2html, netpbm, mencoder, ffmpeg, oggenc, etc., that can convert content from one type to another. It can covert text, documents, images, audio, and video and more. Some examples: a2b test.mp3 test.ogg; mencoder_opts="-ss 60 -endpos 10" a2b video.avi clip.flv; a2b -g=subtitles dvd://8 movie.sub; a2b -q http://sam.nipl.net/ sam.aac. That last example downloads the author's Web page, converts it to text with lynx -dump, speaks the text with flite or espeak, and converts the audio file to AAC with faac.
XML::RDB is a Perl extension to convert XML files into RDB schemas and populate/unpopulate them. It works with XML schemas too. It analyzes relationships within either an XML file or an XML schema to create RDB tables to hold that document (or any XML document that conforms to the XML schema). It takes an XML file or URL as input for the XML::DOM::Parser, and extracts information to build and write DDL. An attempt is made to recognize relations within the XML structure then translate it to the DDL. That generated DDL is then loaded, parsing the DOM tree a second time to extract and load the data. At the bottom of the DDL are select statements to help get a view of those relations found, and XML data. xml_rdb also dumps the data back to XML format.
Networkled is a small system tray utility which gives a graphical indication of the received and transmitted traffic. It relies on the proc file system and more specifically on the existence of the file "/proc/net/dev". It can be used with any system tray that follows the "Free Desktop System Tray Specification" and has a proc file system.

Riverdale, N.Y. • Attendance: 138
RIVERDALE, N.Y. -- Elena Popkey scored 12 points, while Sinclair Russell added eight rebounds and three blocks, as a furious comeback effort fell just short for Oakland (5-4) in a 47-43 loss to Manhattan (2-6) on Saturday at Draddy Gymnasium. The Golden Grizzlies outscored the Jaspers 34-19 in the second half.
"It may be cliché to say it, but we just needed to put two halves together today," said OU head coach Beckie Francis. "I was really proud of our second-half effort and the fight we showed. We were coming back, but just ran out of time."
Trailing by as many as 23 points Oakland cut the score to 43-38 with 1:12 to play on a free throw by Russell. OU missed two late chances to cut it to a single possession game and could only get as close as a four-point margin on a 3 by Popkey with 11 seconds to play.
Zakiya Minifee led OU with nine rebounds and the Golden Grizzlies had a 31-12 rebounding edge in the second half that led to 12 second-chance points. Oakland also hit seven 3-pointers in the second half. Victoria Lipscombhad eight points, seven rebounds, a game-high five assists and three steals.
Oakland faced its largest halftime deficit of the season, down 28-9. The Golden Grizzlies shot just 19 percent from the field and went 1-for-10 beyond the arc in the opening half. Following a 10:20 scoreless stretch, Lipscomb scored to spark a 4-0 run to end the half. The Golden Grizzlies committed 14 turnovers in the first half and finished with a season-high 26 giveaways.
Toni-Ann Lawrence led Manhattan with a double-double effort of 13 points and 10 rebounds. Allison Skrec also reached double-digits with 11 points. After the Jaspers shot 44.4 percent from the field in the first half, OU held Manhattan to just 20 percent shooting in the second half.
The Oakland bench was held scoreless in the first half, but fueled the comeback effort with 10 points in the second half. OU was 5-of-12 at the free throw line, where the team was outscored for the first time all season.
Oakland will have a week off for finals before hosting No. 15/14 Purdue at the Athletics Center O'rena on Dec. 16 at 3 p.m.

Little Feat / Leon Russell
Event on 2013-01-15 20:00:00
Little Feat
Time has loved these musical heroes for more than four decades now, as have legions of fans and countless fellow musicians, many of whom they've played with over the years. Feat's fabled collaborators have included Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Beck, Brian Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Lang, and Leftover Salmon (for whom Bill Payne recently produced an album). With the success of Hot Tomato Records, an endeavor powered by an inspired band of musicians continuing to create exciting new material both individually and as a group, Little Feat will no doubt be sailin' into the future with no end in sight. We are happy to have them back!
Leon Russell is a music legend and perhaps the most accomplished and versatile musician in the history of rock 'n roll. In his distinguished and unique 50 year career, he has played on, arranged, written and/or produced some of the best records in popular music. Leon has played on pop, rock, blues, country, bluegrass, standards, gospel, and surf records. As a session musician, arranger, producer, singer, songwriter, pianist, guitarist, record company owner, bandleader, and touring musician, he has collaborated with hundreds of artists, including Glen Campbell, Joe Cocker, Willie Nelson, Edgar Winter, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, J.J. Cale, David Gates, Bruce Hornsby, Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco, Bobby "Boris" Pickett, B.B. King, Freddie King, Bill Wyman, Steve Cropper, Carl Radle, Chuck Blackwell, Don Preston, Jesse Ed Davis, Rita Coolidge, Gram Parsons, Barbra Streisand, Ike & Tina Turner, Ricky Nelson, Herb Alpert, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Ann-Margret, Dean Martin, Marvin Gaye, Dave Mason, Steve Winwood, and groups such as Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, The Monkees, The Astronauts, The Accents, The Fencemen, The Ventures, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Jan & Dean, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Rolling Stones, The Ronettes, The Crystals, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Everly Brothers, The Righteous Brothers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Tractors and on and on and on… Born in southwest Oklahoma in 1942, Leon began piano lessons at age 4. He was playing in Tulsa nightclubs at the age of 14. After graduating from high school, Leon's band, The Starlighters, went on the road with Jerry Lee Lewis. Leon left Tulsa at the age of 17 for Los Angeles where he began playing in the L.A. clubs and eventually became one of the best session musicians in Hollywood. He worked with the best Hollywood producers and top musicians in the business. Leon became part of an elite group of studio musicians called the Wrecking Crew and played on hundreds of hit records in the 1960's. He was part of studio groups such as The Routers and The Super Stocks. The Routers recorded the huge hit "Let's Go" and The Super Stocks recorded surf and hot rod tunes. In 1964, Leon was a member of the the house band on the Shindig! show on ABC television which showcased the top pop acts. Leon built a recording studio in his home in 1967 where he and Marc Benno recorded songs which were released on two critically acclaimed records as the 'Asylum Choir'. Leon co-produced, arranged, and played piano, organ, and guitar on Joe Cocker's second album, 'Joe Cocker!' in 1969. He also recorded and toured with 'Delaney & Bonnie & Friends'. Leon founded Shelter Records with partner Denny Cordell and released Leon's first solo album, "Leon Russell" in May, 1970. It included Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr, Rolling Stones Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, and Klaus Voorman. The album contained classic Leon songs, 'A Song For You', along with 'Hummingbird', and 'Delta Lady'. Shelter Records was home for not only Leon but many other artists such as Freddie King, Don Nix, J.J. Cale, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Gap Band, Dwight Twilley and Phoebe Snow. Leon played on and produced three Shelter albums for blues guitarist Freddie King. As a songwriter, Leon's songs have hit the charts across all genres and have been covered by a diverse range of artists. Ray Charles recorded 'A Song For You', B.B. King had a hit with 'Hummingbird', The Carpenters with 'Superstar' and Joe Cocker with 'Delta Lady'. The Carpenter's cover of "Superstar", written by Leon and Bonnie Bramlett, went to #2 on the pop music charts. George Benson won the "Record of the Year" Grammy in 1976 for his cover of Leon's song, "This Masquerade", and it became the first song in music history to hit #1 on the jazz, pop and R&B charts. Leon organized and led the band behind Joe Cocker for the famous "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" tour of the U.S. in March-May, 1970. The huge 11 member band included 3 drummers and a 10 member choir which played 65 shows in 48 cities. The tour was filmed for the movie "Mad Dogs & Englishmen". The live double-LP album on A&M Records reached #2 on the U.S. album charts and sold over a million copies. Leon was part of Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. On August 1st, 1971, Leon joined George Harrison and friends for two performances of the Concert For Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in New York to raise money for refugees. His "Jumpin' Jack Flash/Youngblood" medley was considered the highlight of the show by some. The album won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Leon's first solo album to earn a Gold record was "Leon Russell and The Shelter People" (1971). The "Carney" album, released in 1972, would be his best seller and included the single, "Tight Rope" which reached #11 on the pop music charts. By 1972, Leon was a major concert attraction. Billboard Magazine named Leon the top concert attraction for 1973. His concert at Long Beach, CA on August 28, 1972 was recorded and released on the triple-LP album 'Leon Live' which rose to #9 on the pop charts. Leon released the second Asylum Choir album, 'Asylum Choir II", in 1972 from songs recorded years earlier. At the height of his popularity as a rock star, Leon released a country music album, "Hank Wilson's Back" under the name Hank Wilson on August 31st,1973. His last Shelter Records studio album, "Will O' The Wisp" (1975), included the hit single "Lady Blue" (#14 on the charts) and went Gold. "The Best Of Leon" was released in 1976 and earned a 6th Gold Record. Leon founded Paradise Records a Warner Bros. label and released albums from 1976-84 such as "The Wedding Album", "Make Love To The Music", "Americana", "Life And Love", "Solid State" and "Hank Wilson Vol. II". Leon continues to write songs, record, and thrill audiences on his non-stop tour across the U.S. Leon's son Teddy Jack, and daughters Sugaree and Tina Rose have previously been in his band and toured with him. His bass player, Jack Wessel, has been in his band for 29 years.

Teams like the Giants, Vikings, Steelers, Bengals and Bears are on the fringe of the playoffs. Which team would be the biggest disappointment if it doesn't qualify?
Just a few months ago, we were parsing the definition of "dynasty" to argue that the Giants' run of two Super Bowls in five years merited that distinction. What happened?
Da Bears man. 7-1 start, now at 8-6 are really on the outside looking in. They have games against Arizona and Detroit but they need help. Not a handsome situation my man.
Remember, this was a team that found itself late last season. They were supposed to get better, not more inconsistent.
That happens with the Giants. The Bears have flamed out two years in a row. Injuries have crippled them again but so many other teams are dealing with similar, if not worse situations.
As the season began, no one was doubting Eli's supposed elite-ness. Victor Cruz and Jason Pierre-Paul were the kind of young stars who would personify the glories ahead for the Giants.
Now they get shut out by, who, the Falcons? That was a pretty short dynasty, huh?
Yo. You're hard to impress huh? What about the Bears being viewed as the best team in the NFL at midseason. The D was compared to the '85 Monsters. What now? Poof!
The Giants haven't had the kind of injury that would constitute an excuse. Look, there's no shame in not repeating as a Super Bowl winner. But not even making the playoffs? C'mon. Goodnight.
What's worse is having teams you smoked, like Dallas cop your spot. The Bears' collapse could cost some jobs. Like I said, not a handsome situation my man.

After many years of shopping at K & L, I finally decided to spend even more time at my favorite store! I first came on board at "the shop" a little over a year ago working Friday nights and Saturdays. Now, as a full time member of the Redwood City staff, my wine education continues five days a week! My favorite wines in the world include the awesome grower-producer champagnes we carry, earthy pinot noir from the Burgundy region of France, as well as the excellent pinots from Oregon and California. I dream of one day having my own land on the Dundee Hills of Oregon and producing terrior driven pinot noirs! Most recently I have dedicated more time to tasting and studying wines from Italy.

Jets-Titans Preview
The New York Jets and Tennessee Titans are perhaps two of the NFL's most surprising teams thus far with 2-1 records.
But also being two of the league's most-penalized clubs, the more disciplined team could very well be the one to improve to 3-1.
New York travels to Nashville on Sunday in a game that features the AFC's leading rushers in Chris Johnson and Bilal Powell.
The Jets have been called for the most penalties, averaging 11.3 for 93.0 yards per game. They committed a franchise-record 20 in Sunday's 27-20 win over Buffalo, becoming the first winning team penalized that many times since the Browns were charged with 21 while beating the Bears in 1951.
Coach Rex Ryan has installed a policy he hopes will deter his team's trend. After each penalty in practice, 10 push-ups are performed - by everyone, including Ryan himself - except for the player who committed the infraction.
"I want him to notice who he's affecting," Ryan said. "He's affecting all of us. I think that's where it's like, 'Oh, OK.' After you've done a few of those, you're like, 'Really, you got a penalty again?' And they'll get on each other."
Tennessee was called for 10 penalties for 110 yards in just the first half of its 20-17 win against San Diego. It was part of the reason the Titans, whose 31 penalties called against them are tied for third-most, needed a 94-yard game-winning drive, capped by Jake Locker's 34-yard scoring pass to Justin Hunter with 15 seconds remaining.
"We're going to harp on them, we're going to talk about them, we're going to learn from them, we're going to learn how to be smarter," coach Mike Munchak said.
While the Titans relied on late-game dramatics, penalties hamstrung the Jets in what was otherwise a dominant performance against the Bills. They totaled 513 yards, their most since 524 in a 34-20 loss to Baltimore on Dec. 24, 2000. The defense registered eight sacks for the first time since 1988.
Powell recorded career bests with 27 carries for 149 yards, pushing his season total to 226. He totaled 25 rushes in the first two games, but Chris Ivory left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and will not play against Tennessee, leaving Powell firmly entrenched as the team's No. 1 back.
Johnson has yet to find the end zone but his 256 yards lead the AFC. The New York defense will likely be particularly wary of Johnson's speed after his 94-yard touchdown run - the longest in the league last year - in a 14-10 home victory over the Jets on Dec. 17.
New York committed five turnovers in that contest, something they've been troubled by this season with eight, the NFL's fourth-most. Tennessee is the only team besides Kansas City yet to commit one, tying the second-longest streak to start a season since 1950. The 1995 St. Louis Rams didn't commit a turnover until their fifth game.
Quarterback Geno Smith is responsible for all but one giveaway with six interceptions and one lost fumble, though he showed signs of improvement versus Buffalo. He was 16 of 29 for 331 yards - the most by a Jets rookie - two touchdowns and two picks. He also wasn't sacked after being dropped nine times in his first two starts.
"His communication and level of expertise is just getting better," right guard Willie Colon said. "I think it's important for us to get him in a rhythm, keep his confidence high and sky's the limit."
New York owns the league's seventh-best unit against the pass, limiting opponents to 190.3 yards per game, though Locker has already seen two of the NFL's top-three passing defenses in Houston and Pittsburgh. Locker, however, also appears to have more uncertainty in terms of his playmakers, particularly wide receiver Kenny Britt.
Britt has been targeted 16 times but has caught only five passes for 43 yards and was called for two penalties while failing to record a reception versus San Diego. He is nursing a cracked rib and a sore neck from a hit in last week's win and is listed as questionable.
"He's like anybody else," Munchak said. "We need him to continue to play better just like as an offense we have to play better."
Tight end Delanie Walker also is listed as questionable, though he took part in about 75 percent of practice Friday and expects to play with another day of rest
Shonn Greene - who ran for 3,423 yards and 18 TDs the last four years for the Jets before signing with the Titans as a free agent - said he will not play after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last week.
New York cornerback Dee Milliner, the No. 9 overall pick in this year's draft, also will sit out due to a hamstring injury suffered in practice this week.
The Jets had won five of the previous six meetings prior to last season.

What is "habeas corpus?" It's Latin for "You have the body." What does that have to do with you and me? In human rights legal terms, "You have the body" is shorthand for "You have a prisoner in your custody. Produce him, and explain why you are holding him. If the reason is valid, we will initiate a trial to determine whether he is guilty or innocent, so that, either way, he can get on with his life."
Habeas corpus is the most basic insurance of personal freedom we have as Americans. Without it, a police officer could handcuff you on the street, put you behind bars, and leave you there for days, weeks, months, or years without charging you with a crime. Thats the kind of story Hollywood makes movies about -- movies that take place in scary foreign countries where things like that can happen to unsuspecting Americans.
Where did habeas corpus come from? In England in the late 1600s, King Charles II was abusing and imprisoning Catholics without legal cause. The public spoke out against these injustices, and Parliament answered them by adopting the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, to increase the liberty of the King's subjects. Knowing a good thing when they saw it, the framers of the U.S. Constitution wrote habeas corpus into Article 1, Section 9. It is the only civil right mentioned directly in the Constitution. All others were added as amendments in the Bill of Rights.
Does habeas corpus increase our liberty? It is our liberty. Without it, we would live our lives under the constant fear of being unjustly imprisoned. All of the laws that protect us once we have been accused of a crime -- the right to legal council, the right to a fair trial, etc. -- would be moot if habeas corpus did not exist.
The Constitution states two exceptions under which habeas corpus may be revoked. One is "cases of rebellion," which was used for a time during the Civil War. The other is "invasion during which public safety may require it." The acts that occurred at Pearl Harbor and on September 11th both can be considered invasions, but did the Japanese-American citizens who were sent to internment camps and the Muslims who were sent to Guantanamo Bay represent threats to public safety? And, even if you think they did, was denying them habeas corpus the right thing to do? Did our public safety really require it?
Eventually, the United States apologized to the Japanese Americans. And two days after his inauguration, President Barack Obama granted habeas corpus rights to the Guantanamo detainees, saying he did not feel that maintaining Guantanamo Bay made our country safer. He is right: finding out which detainees are guilty of crimes and trying them for those crimes would make us safer.
What does granting habeas corpus to the Guantanamo detainees mean for you and me? It means that our government stands by its own Constitution and follows the rule of law -- the cornerstone on which America was built. When we deny a legal right to others, we are implying that the right is deniable to anyone -- even ourselves.

April 10, 2012 > Ohlone softball battling for first
The Ohlone College softball team played four games last week as they try to win their tenth straight Coast Conference North (CCN) league championship. They entered play last week at 8-2 (20-10 overall) and trailed then first place holders, College of San Mateo (9-1, 29-3), by one game.On Tuesday, April 3, the Ohlone Renegades hosted Coast Conference South power house, San Jose City College, (8-3, 23-9) a team they've had trouble defeating the last few years. Brittany Wright, started for Ohlone and has been struggling with her control as of late. San Jose struck first with a run in the third inning as Wright walked three around an infield hit. The Renegades answered with a run in the fourth inning on a single by first baseman Lauren Ermitano, a double by second baseman Sarah Ragusa and a sacrifice fly from catcher Shelby Fowler. Ohlone added five more runs in the fifth inning on singles by left fielder Rennelle Traylor, shortstop Mariah Nisbet, third baseman Kaley Marden, right fielder Lauren Poffenbarger and a double by Ermitano. Center fielder Ashley Vignola also reached on a San Jose error. San Jose added two more runs in the sixth before southpaw Katy Bihl came on to pitch the seventh inning and secure the Renegade win 6-3. Wright ended up yielding three runs on four hits, five walks, and a hit batsman while striking out eight. Bihl gave no runs, a hit, a walk and had 2 strikeouts.On Thursday, April 5, the Renegades traveled to Los Altos Hills to take on CCN Foothill College where they hoped to avoid a let down before hosting San Mateo on Saturday. At the bottom of the first inning, Foothill led off with a single. But when the ball got away from Ohlone's outfielders, the two base error put the lead-off hitter on third base. The next batter laid down a safety squeeze bunt and the Los Altos runner on third scored as she avoided Fowler's tag at home. After an out, Foothill hit consecutive singles to give the hosts an early 2-0 lead after one inning. Ohlone answered in the top of the second inning when starting pitcher Bihl singled and scored on Traylor's two run blast over the left field fence for a 2-2 tie. Meanwhile, Bihl settled down and gave up just one single and a walk with three strikeouts over the next three innings.The Renegades put the game away with a five-run fourth inning and four-run fifth inning. Leading hitters were Traylor with a home run, double and sacrifice fly; Marden with a triple and a double; Rasguso with a double and a single; Nisbet and Bihl hitting two singles each; and Poffenbarger with a double. Raguso also scored from third base on a passed ball, and Marden had four ground ball assists at third including three in one inning. Wright pitched the fifth inning in the 11-2 game, which was shortened because of the eight-run mercy rule.Saturday morning, April 6, it was a battle for CCN first place between the league leaders College of San Mateo (CSM) Bulldogs and the second place hosts, the Renegades. Bihl would get the scoring started for Ohlone. In the first inning, after two quick outs, Bihl was unable to handle a high hopper over the pitching circle and the Bulldogs' base runner took advantage of it. This was followed by two singles to give CSM an early 1- 0 lead. Bihl settled down and retired 11 of the next 12 batters, 10 of which by ground ball outs. The bottom of the first inning saw the Renegades lead off hitter, Nisbet, open with a single followed by Vignola being hit with a pitch. Marden then sacrificed the runners to second and third with one out, but the Renegades were unable to get then home. Ohlone later had two runners on base in the fifth inning with one out and again could not score. The best scoring chance for Ohlone came in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases with one out. Bihl then hit a grounder to first but San Mateo threw out the runner at home trying to score from third on a forced play. This was followed by a weak grounder to second that ended the threat.At the bottom of the seventh inning, with the score still 1-0, Renegades' Poffenbargar led off with a single. She was then made a pinch runner by Jazlyn Jimenez and was thrown out for trying to steal second. Nisbet then delivered her second single of the day and was made the pinch runner by Mackenzie Bush. The next batter, Jamie Costa, was pinch hitting for Vignola and popped out. San Mateo coach Nicole Borg came out and protested that Ohlone never advised the umpires of Bush entering as a pinch runner. After the two umpires conferred, they agreed with Borg's protest and called Bush out for the third out of the seventh to give San Mateo a 1-0 victory and a two game lead in CCN.Game two of they day saw Ohlone host the CCN last place holders and winless City College of San Francisco. Ermitano got the start for the Renegades and the reserves played most of the game. Results were as expected, and the game lasted four and a half innings with Ohlone winning 14-0. Ermitano gave up a double and a walk and struck out eight batters. Traylor and Costa each scored a homer for Ohlone, with Traylor's being of the inside-the-park variety. The final home game of the regular season will be Thurday, April 12 at 3 p.m. against CCN rival Chabot College. The game will be Sophomore Day, where Ohlone shows appreciation to their sophomore players. The Renegades can still secure a post season playoff berth with a first or second place finish in CCN.
