Harvey Weinstein's arrest Friday — seven months after women began publicly accusing him of sexual misconduct — was well documented by photographers.
They captured images of Weinstein being taken into custody at a New York police station, then a nearby courthouse, where he was charged with first- and third-degree rape and committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree in incidents involving two separate women. The former Hollywood power player could face up to 25 years in prison, according to Reuters.
But one photo that we won't see, at least not officially, is Weinstein's mugshot. The New York Police Department, which made the arrest, told Yahoo Entertainment: "The NYPD does not release the mugshot of anyone arrested in New York City."
Still, photographers caught most of Weinstein's surrender. He was smiling at times, as he arrived at a police station with books, including a biography of Hollywood director Elia Kazan under his arm.
Later, at his arraignment in a nearby courthouse, Weinstein was formally charged. His bail was set at $1 million, an amount that his lawyers paid immediately, according to the New York Times. Weinstein was also ordered to wear a GPS monitoring system, stay in New York state or Connecticut, and hand over his passport before being released.
Weinstein's attorney, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement to CNN that the producer "has always maintained that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual behavior with anyone. Nothing about today's proceedings changes Mr. Weinstein's position. He has entered a plea of not guilty and fully expects to be exonerated."
UPDATE May 25, 2018 at 10 p.m. PT: While we won't see the mug shots, courtroom sketches of Weinstein have been released by various media outlets:

Meanwhile, Weinstein's many accusers were watching the events unfold, and some of them shared their emotions on social media.

2007 Ehlers Estate Napa Valley Merlot St. Helena 14.6%, $45
Low and deep on the nose with a noticeable if well integrated underlay of oak, over which are layered notes of soil, crushed black fruits, hints of bramble, chocolate shavings and a floral top note. On entry, this is a touch hollow and it really takes some time to fill in. Still very young, this is in a bit of a difficult stage but once it gets some air the wine reveals wonderfully ripe yet transparent berry, plum, and black currant fruit with an nice hint of thistle on the palate. The tannins are wonderfully ripe and round here, but offer plenty of support, and the acidity is bright enough to keep this fresh, yet it remains in the background. The finish is moderately long with that pure black fruit continuing on married to subtle oak shadings that add to the spicy finale. This is powerful, balanced and complex. Love it. 93pts
2007 Gainey Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley Merlot 13.9%, $30
Herbal and earthy at first, with candied black cherry and blackberry fruit that features a touch of tarragon and sage, along with some medicinal and coffee bean background notes and a touch of caramely oak. Round and almost soft upfront with lots of sweet, almost candied fruit that is offset by some citrusy acidity. There is a nice bed of tannin that emerges in the mouth, keeping this firm and poised and allowing the intense but pure fruit to dominate the mid-palate. Lots of red plummy fruit here, with a touch of peach pit and then lightly aromatic herbal tones coming in to add some complexity on the moderately long finish that ends with a fine black fruit tone. Refreshing, bright, juicy and delicious. 91pts
2007 Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot 14.5%, $45
Tight and focused on the nose, with subtle, sweet, toasty French oak tones supporting light plum and berry fruit with a gravelly, mineral edge and topped with some gentle, ripe herb tones and a hint of creamy mocha. This is really soft and rich right out of the gate, with finely polished tannins and well-integrated acids. The fruit is creamy and rich in the mouth, with slightly exotic berry tones, red plum notes and more of that creamy mocha quality that was found on the nose. This is really well balanced and comes off as a smaller wine than it really is, but this is a full, rich wine with great fruit that powers through on the finish. The finish is really quite interesting with a long, slow crawl of tannin on the tongue yet a veritable explosion of perfumed fruit in the mouth that seems detached from the structure. Elegant and refined and almost understated. A really nice showing. 91pts
2006 Toad Hollow Russian River Valley Merlot Reserve Richard McDowell Vineyard 14.5%, $19
Pungent, weedy and smoky, this smells lean, old-world, and cool-climate at first, though with air, the nose gains focus and fruit. In the mouth, it's again quite cool-climate styled with lots of bright red cherry fruit, some stiff little tannins and juicy acids all making this an outlier in the world of California Merlot. Definitely not a particularly big wine, it is ripe and complex and well styled for the dinner table. There's a bit of cocoa on the backend and the finish is fairly long with a bit of an earthy character and some slight vanilla and spice tones from oak. This is a little rustic, and tough at times without the flamboyance or opulence of most California Merlot but therein lies its beauty. A lovely, expressive, distinctive wine that one can drink all night long and never tire from it. 90pts
2008 Seven Hills Columbia Valley Merlot 13.7%, $28
A bit spicy on the nose with a peppery top note and some cocoa nib accents to the black berry/cherry fruit. The oak becomes more assertive with air. Nice richness on entry with a soft, caressing texture. The tannins are really well covered by the rich fruit, which is fresh and a touch jammy, but not particularly sweet or sticky. In fact, the integrated acidity helps lighten up the mid-palate and gives this a fine, balanced feel. The tannins pop a bit in the mouth, breaking up the silken texture and adding a touch of spice on the backend and onto the finish, which ends with a bit of woody spice and licorice. This needs a year, maybe two, to let the tannins mellow a bit but it's already attractive and can only improve. 90pts
2008 Wente Livermore Valley Merlot Sandstone 13.5%, $15
Sweet cherry fruit on the nose with some nice floral and citrus accents and just a shading of wood spice with a hint of red licorice candy. Very soft up front but not lacking in acidity. The tannins creep up on the mid-palate a bit stiff and dry but rather small-scaled. The fruit recalls the nose with cherry tones and hints of candied pink grapefruit and orange peels. There's not much length here, but the overall impression of the wine is of an aromatic, well balanced, easy to drink yet not texturally neutral, wine. This just needs a bit of time to gain some length and while it's not your typical California Merlot it's pretty tasty and fun to drink. 89pts
2007 Kramer Walla Walla Merlot 15.3%, $28
Candied, herbal and scorched earthy with a spicy, almost beefy top note. There's some lightly toasty oak here, as well as gentle almost red curranty fruit. Rich and broad in the mouth with bright acidity and a nice burnished note to the wild berry fruit. This is showing some nice maturity with softening edges and some earthy, almost boulliony but not quite extracty notes. Well fruity but not a fruity style with good balance and a nice brightness. The finish is a little lean and minty with a nice stony mineral note on the finale. A nice tense wine with good intensity and complexity. 89pts

My Grandma's a Ninja
From this week's Publishers Weekly:
"NorthSouth sneaks into spring with 'My Grandma's a Ninja' by Todd Tarpley, in which Ethan's grandma suggests zip-lining into kindergarten."
Publication date is March, 2015.
This is my first non-rhyming picture book; I still love toddlers, but I'm kinda warming to 4- and 5-year-olds.
More updates and pics as publication date approaches.
P.S. Those who knew Grandma Needham will recognize this as a true story.

BTTF on the Hudson
Samuel and I went to the Hudson River pier at West 70th Street last night for an outdoor screening of "Back to the Future." There were probably 300 people there with blankets and lawn chairs.
We watched from near the front for the first half of the movie, then retreated to the far end of the pier and watched from a table in the food court while enjoying hot dogs and soda.
We've seen it a dozen times. We know all the lines. No surprises.
But it's always nice to see George knock out Biff and win Lorraine's heart, and hear the audience clap.
They are kindred spirits.
I asked Samuel if he still wants a DeLorean.
"Yes." No hesitation.
"Do you want a time machine version, or just a regular DeLorean?"
"Well, if I had a choice I'd get a time machine version, but if I had the chance to have a regular version I'd take it."
"I'm sorry I haven't been able to get you one. I wanted to. I thought I'd be richer in my life at this point."
"That's okay."
"Next life."
And we walked home together with no DeLorean but with warm hearts.

This week's dreams
1. I was in an open field and saw a huge tornado coming toward me, but when I tried to run to a nearby house, the house kept getting farther away.
2. I started a new job only to realize on the first day that it was a nudist company and everyone was expected to come to work nude.
3. I was standing in line to see a play called "The Pursuit of Happiness." I was skeptical that it was going to be any good, but I had already committed to seeing it.
So, let's see...panic, fear of embarrassment, and disillusionment with the pursuit of happiness.
First week at a new job.

The elusive 6-minute mile
My athletic goals have become rather modest in my old age: don't pull any muscles. But now I've decided to set my sights higher: I want to run as fast as a middle-school girl.
I haven't run a six-minute mile in several years. My body isn't used to running that fast anymore. My "fast" pace is now 6:45 for a 3-mile run. For a mile--probably 6:20. But that extra :20 is a big deal.
I can still run a six-minute-mile pace for a half mile and feel fine, aside from the heaving convulsions afterwards. The problem is the second half mile. My poor old muscles just don't have the oxygen. My legs refuse to go that fast. My lungs start burning. My arms go numb. My entire body becomes liquefied and melts onto the pavement.
It's as if my body has been replaced with that of a 51-year-old man.
But I'm not giving up.
Stay tuned.

Big companies vs. start-ups
I have a job again. In case anyone was concerned about me.
The company is a start-up. Start-up is code for "make less money than you ever thought possible while suffering from the delusion that you might get rich." In other words, it's a microcosm of life.
I worked at a start-up in the past and hated it. I also worked at several large companies. I hated them too. So there is a clear pattern.
But I have some additional observations.
1. Executives at big companies whose businesses are slowly being destroyed by the Internet have a fetish for start-ups. They try to emulate them by creating open work areas, wearing jeans, and loudly dropping buzzwords like "agile" and "lean."
But their businesses continue to decline because--Eureka--configuring desks a certain way or dressing a certain way generally has limited impact on the dynamics of a business. You either have a good business model or you don't.
Warren Buffett, for example, seems to do just fine with an old, fuddy-duddy office.
2. People who work at start-ups enjoy being the cool kids. They have great disdain for big companies that focus on crass things like monetization and "just don't get it." Their future is generally dependent on being acquired by a big company.
Irony alert.
3. There's a saying--perhaps I'm the one who said it--that the only thing as dysfunctional as a large company is a small company. But big companies have a unique brand of dysfunction.
My previous company loved to tout its analytics-driven, assembly-line-type efficiency. At the center of the process was a complex, behemoth tech platform that became obsolete a few months after it was implemented a decade ago. But it cost so much to implement that it couldn't be changed. Why? That wouldn't be efficient.
When I left it was being replaced by yet another behemoth, multi-million-dollar platform that was equally complex. Implementation was into Year 2 and proceeding slowly.
In my first week at my new company, our tech team determined that part of our current platform was obsolete. So they re-built it. In two days. It's amazing how much you can get done when you're not burdened with "efficiency."
So I suppose I'm tipping my hand a bit about where I prefer to be.
Well, actually, I'd prefer to make a million dollars a year writing picture books on my laptop while watching toddlers play in the fountains at the water terrace.
But until then...

Back to Camelbeach
I finally got the whole family to Camelbeach water park this weekend--Jennifer included. But I insisted on taking a family photo, and I forgot to put my shirt on for it.
I'm in decent shape for a 51-year-old. Unfortunately, I persist in believing that I have the body of a 35-year-old bodybuilder.
I'm not going to show the photo, because I don't want to brag, but I'm pleased to say that I do, in fact, resemble a former bodybuilder.

You'd better get a job soon
Ethan: You've been out of work a long time.
Todd: It hasn't been that long.
Ethan: You'd better get a job before two years or you'll never get a job again.
Todd: Who says that?
Ethan: They did a survey. People would rather hire a criminal than someone who's been out of work for two years.

- Staff activity has been looked upon very leniently due to holidays and school finals, as schools begin to start, things will start getting back to normal. Thank you all for taking care of our servers in 2017!
- Bans should also be looked at very carefully when looking at previous offenses to determine punishments, and any ban on an individual should be disregarded if it has been a year or more (unless it was a perm ban of course) *ninjaedit*

Striker Andy Purvis returns to the squad for leaders Brandon United at Tow Law Town this afternoon, with no certain place in the starting line-up.
Without Purvis, Brandon crushed fourth-placed West Auckland 5-0 in midweek to go three points clear at the top-of-the-table.
"After some uncertain performances, we really turned it on," said secretary Brian Richardson.
Defending champions Bedlington Terriers, three points behind Brandon with a game in hand, travel to Chester-le-Street with striker John Milner returning as captain. Former skipper Warren Teasdale has left the club. The Cestrians are near full-strength, with doubts about defender Gary Andison and striker Steve Cuggy
Durham City have suffered a blow with the news that top scorer Micky Dunwell will be out for the rest of the season.
Dunwell, with 28 league and cup goals this term, suffered a chipped ankle bone and ligament damage in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat away to Marske United. Defender Michael Caravan returns for Durham at home to in-form Washington, who have won seven and drawn one of their last nine games.
Third-bottom Consett, encouraged by Wednesday's 3-1 home win over fellow strugglers Prudhoe Town, are at home to Marske, who beat the Steelmen 2-0 in December.
In Division Two, Ashington continue their promotion campaign at home to Kennek Ryhope CA looking to consolidate third place in the table and make up ground on leaders Washington Nissan, who are without a game.

Mark Lewis, with his long mustache and thin, wispy beard, held a light that shone on ethereal figures frozen in place with blurred lines of motion surrounding them as he explained his newest installation.
"Assuming there's some motion, I might have a fan I can use at the Feed and Grain. It will look something like this," he said about the photos of dancing figures with swirling colors printed on metallic film that hung temporarily from the ceiling in his studio.
The light bounced off the shiny surfaces of the images.
Lewis' reflection appeared and went as one of the prints slowly turned.
The photographs are part of his installation, "Energia Figura II," at the Love+Lights show this weekend.
Love+Lights, sponsored by Art @ The Feed & Grain, will be a show of illuminations and love-centered installations. The show runs Thursday to Saturday.
What: Love+Light art show.
When: 6-9 p.m. Thursday-Saturday.
Where: Feed and Grain building, 130 W. Third St.
Cost: $5 suggested donation.
Info: Visit lovelandfeedandgrain.com for details. The event will include a warming hut and hot drinks. A lighted pedestrian walkway will guide visitors from Sculpture in the Dark on Fourth Street to the Love+Lights show on Friday night.
The show will feature fire dancers, LED-lit hearts in the windows by Kerri Ertman, light graffiti by photographers and interactive installations by local and nationally recognized artists.
The event will also include a warming shed and hot drinks.
Mark Lewis, professionally known as Gmark, has been working as a photographer in Loveland for 10 years. He prints his artwork on a printer in his studio.
His unusual beard is more recognized than his artwork, he said. He was even once recognized at the airport from someone who follows his Facebook page.
His studio is lined with framed photos of people caught in moments of emotion. A gauzy fabric printed with part of a photo hangs in front of a black and white photo, creating a unique image between the two.
Lewis pushes the bounds of artistic photography by playing with light and shape through his camera lens. He has his models move and twist while the camera shutter is open for several seconds. Then, he snaps a strobe flash to freeze the girl in place. He adjusts the color on his computer but doesn't otherwise digitally manipulate the photos.
Lewis said he is always exploring different ways of presenting his two-dimensional artwork in a three-dimensional city, since Loveland is more known for its sculpture.
His paper supplier showed him the metallic material and he purchased a roll.
"The back sides are so reflective that you can sort of see yourself in them and it also reflects back on to the people," Lewis said. "So ideally, as people look at the pieces when the silver side is showing, they'll see themselves in the art display as well."
He said the photos and reflective material complement each other because of the type of imagery and paper.
A lighted pedestrian walkway will guide visitors from Sculpture in the Dark on Fourth Street to the Love+Lights show on Friday night.

For those weary of the whitewashed, clinical spa experience, there is an old-world antidote on a side street in New York's Tribeca. Among mid-century furniture stores and neighborhood restaurants, in a former textile factory built in 1883, Aire Ancient Baths opens its doors today, bringing with it a time-honored bathing-beauty culture.
The spa—a deeply atmospheric subterranean cavern lit by candles alone—fuses soaking traditions from the Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and Arab empires into one elegant water world. Aire's first location opened in Seville in 2004 in a sixteenth-century palace that had original Roman baths beneath it; two more followed in Barcelona and Almería. Cofounder Armando Prados—who grew up in an area in southern Spain where roughly 300 public baths built from the ninth to the fifteenth centuries were rapidly disappearing—wanted to recapture the traditional ritual of relaxing and rejuvenating through water.
The Romans' progression from cold to hot pools—the frigidaria to the caldaria—is the prevalent idea here. But Prados has also been influenced by the Greeks' taste for individual tubs as well as the Ottoman and Arab regimens, where steam and hot stones were preferable to a thorough soaking.
"We regard bathing as an intensely private matter," says Garrett Fagan, Ph.D., a professor of ancient history at Penn State. "The ancient Romans had precisely the opposite view: They would invite people to dinner and have a bath before or after."
The 16,000-square-foot space at Aire—where only 20 people are allowed at a time—is filled with white marble and stone brought from the South of Spain, mainly by boat. Black frame and terra-cotta lanterns from Marrakech proffer warm, flickering light.
Visitors alternate between four pools ranging from fiery (102 degrees) to icy (46 degrees); there is a saltwater bath (the Roman alvea), and a large, multiperson tub with aggressive bubbling jets. ("I don't like the word Jacuzzi," says Prados.) There's also a glass-enclosed hammam; when the walls steam over, it looks like a sunken cloud. Heated marble benches provide a good place to rest mid-rotation and sip from the menu of juices and teas. If you choose, add an hour-long four-handed massage (or a fifteen-minute refresher) to your cycle; for maximum indulgence, consider a three-hour ritual including a private bath upstairs (for one or two), infused with a choice of red wine, cava, or olive oil.
All you need to bring is a swimsuit. The spa provides special slippers to be worn in the water because, as Prados says with a shudder, "you don't want people in flip-flops."

Venice by Night.
I lived in Venice in the late 80´s and early 90´s and even though it probably is one of the most photogenic places on earth, I never really managed to capture (as I intended) its magic on film, not that I did not try, on the contrary.. I exposed hundreds of rolls during the 6½ years that I lived there, experimenting with almost all the commercial developers and film available back then. I think I overdosed on all the beauty and concentrated far too much on the technical aspects. Maybe 4-5 shots came close, out of all those rolls, but hey.. that´s better than nothing right!?!

For as long as I can remember I had a Fujifilm QuickSnap disposable camera in my bedside drawer. I don't know when I got it, what photos were taken with it, or where it has been, but it was always there. I rediscovered the camera a few years ago and there were half of the exposures remaining. I wanted to make the most of this mysterious camera and took random photos with it until I finished the roll.
In January I took the last photo and was giddy with excitement to finally discover the secrets that were on the camera. When I picked the pictures from the photo lab the lady said "Not many turned out" and I was devastated. The camera did have an expiration date of 2005, so anything taken after that time would be a surprise. Sadly only ten photos turned out but they were a nice glimpse into the past.
It looked like the camera originated from our June 2004 trip to Jasper and could have been used at the three consecutive Matthew Good shows later that month before being tucked away in the move to the condo in 2006. Here are a few of the results from the mysterious Fujifilm:
I plan on taking this adventure with the disposable camera one step further. My Mom was an avid photographer and among her gear was a Canon A-1 with a macro and a zoom lens. The next time I am at the homestead I will recover the gear, purchase some film and see what sort of results I can get.

Due Diligence - Did You Do It?
Due diligence? You hear the term, but what does it really mean? Here's a simple definition: "Investigation and verification of the details of a particular investment." In real estate investment, you can start this process before you make an offer, but you also normally have clauses in the offer that allow you to have inspections done, and reviews of the books and certain documents.

Aims and Scope
Pain and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of pain therapies and pain-related devices. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, acute pain, cancer pain, chronic pain, headache and migraine, neuropathic pain, opioids, palliative care and pain ethics, peri- and post-operative pain as well as rheumatic pain and fibromyalgia.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports, trial protocols, short communications such as commentaries and editorials, and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from around the world. Pain and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
Rapid Publication
The journal's publication timelines aim for a rapid peer review of 2 weeks. If an article is accepted it will be published 3–4 weeks from acceptance. The rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal's open access model this allows for the rapid, efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, fostering the advancement of pain therapies.
Personal Service
The journal's dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal "concierge service" meaning that authors will always have a personal point of contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. We also encourage pre-submission enquiries and are always happy to provide a confidential assessment of manuscripts.
Enhanced Digital Features
Pain and Therapy is able to publish a range of additional enhanced digital features designed to increase visibility, readership, and the educational value of the content. Every paper is accompanied by a bulleted summary slide, giving a time-efficient overview of the key points of the content to a wider readership. Articles also have the option to include various other types of enhanced digital features including, but not limited to, slide sets, videos and video abstracts, infographics, podcasts and animations. All enhanced digital features are open access and are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. They can either be submitted at the same time as the manuscript or can be submitted retrospectively, and there is no additional cost to publish these features.
By having a choice of media not limited to text, figures and tables alone, readers may receive information more efficiently, whilst being reassured that the content has undergone the same rigorous peer review as the original article. Offering succinct multimedia formats can support time-pressed healthcare professionals in keeping on top of recently published research.
For questions relating specifically to enhanced digital features, please contact email@example.com.
Plain Language Summaries
Articles published in Pain and Therapy can be accompanied by Plain Language Summaries to assist in understanding important medical advances. These summaries can help the content to reach a broader audience thus supporting the effective dissemination of research.
Peer Review Process
Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria.
At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case-by-case basis and should be sent to the journal editor, and authors are welcome to make rebuttals against individual reviewer comments if appropriate.
We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors' or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other time point during consideration in our journal. Once the preprint is published, it is the author's responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.

Civil Rights Pioneer Rosa Parks Dies
Tuesday Oct 25, 2005 8:00am EST
By Todd Peterson
Rosa Parks, the woman who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., city bus to a white man and thereby launched the modern civil rights movement, died at her home in Detroit Monday night. She was 92.
On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks, a seamstress who lived in Montgomery, forever changed American history while riding a bus home from work. At that time, many places in the South such as buses, restaurants and other public facilities were segregated according to Jim Crow laws that had been in place since the Civil War.
Parks was seated at the front of the black section of the crowded bus when the driver demanded that she move farther back to make room for a white man. The 42-year-old woman refused to move, and was arrested by police and jailed.
Her arrest led to 381-day boycott by blacks (who comprised two-thirds of the system's riders) of Montgomery's buses. That boycott was organized by Rev. Martin Luther King and sparked the civil rights movement.
Popular history often portrays Parks as someone whose feet hurt and who was too tired to move. But in 1992 she corrected that sentiment: "The real reason of my not standing up was that I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger," she said, according to the Associated Press. "We had endured that kind of treatment for too long."
At the time, Parks said, she had no idea her actions would inflame such a movement. "The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in," she said.
The bus boycott took place a year after the Supreme Court's ruling for Brown v. Board of Education that ended racial segregation in public schools, but it wasn't until 1964 that the Civil Rights Act, banning racial discrimination in public accommodations, was passed.
After the boycott, Parks became the target of threats and relocated to Detroit in 1957. She went to work for U.S. Rep. John Conyers, and was an active member of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Her husband Raymond Parks, whom she married in 1932, died in 1977.
"It wasn't pretty. But sometimes games aren't pretty."
That quote right there as the title of this blog post, that's from the best Defensive Coordinator in the NCAA. Ok so I'm biased, but I bet I could get at least a few people from ESPN to agree with me that Joe Kines is a football defensive genius. Let me back up….
If you care at all about me living a little bit longer on this earth, you should be thankful I didn't have a heart attack on Saturday afternoon/evening. All week long, my stomach had been turning over in knots just waiting for the opening kick-off and really wishing the whole time that the final seconds had already ticked off the clock. I feel so much better once that happens. Like Coach Kines said, "it wasn't pretty, but sometimes games aren't pretty." I've waited a long time to see Alabama beat UT in Bryant-Denny Stadium. I've heard a lot of cracks about how bad Alabama. In fact, in my 5 short years of college (undergrad and grad) I was witness to the two worst seasons Alabama ever played in its entire history. I watched a season when we didn't win even one game in Bryant-Denny Stadium…which was a record by the way…that was the year we broke all the wrong records like having the highest number of penalties in the entire NCAA…in one game alone.
You see, as fans go, I'm kind of a yungin' to this Alabama football thing. I chose to go to school there because they have one of the best accounting schools in the southeast not because of the 11 Saturdays in the fall when time seems to stand still. Mark my words though, one trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium will make you a fan. I thought I knew what being a football fan was…I was sorely mistaken. And about 9.5 seasons ago, I was schooled on the truth of it all. As of Saturday night, I have seen Alabama beat Tennessee a total of 2 times and neither of those times was when I was in school.
There's a lot of history between these two teams. In fact, the rivalry between them is longer than the one between Alabama and Auburn. We had a slight gap in play for about 30 some years with Auburn. But we've never taken a break from UT. As such, the hatred (yes it's hatred…no other way to describe it) has just grown over the years. A couple years ago, it came to a head in the form of NCAA immunity. Now, I'm the first person to tell you that Alabama and its boosters committed some bad NCAA infractions and deserved every penalty we got, but so did 4 other schools. There's some stupid NCAA rules out there, but Alabama doesn't tend to commit those. We like to stick to the ones with harsher consequences. And because UT's coach opened his mouth and testified against those other schools, he received immunity for his program doing the SAME EXACT THINGS. In fact, there's now an NCAA investigation guideline called the Fulmer Rule that basically prevents what he did from ever happening again. Great…where was that 5 years ago? In any case, it fueled the fire that already burned deep within our players, coaches, and fans. Saturday marked the first time Fulmer returned to Tuscaloosa after being exposed as the "secret witness." And he had to be escorted onto the field and off by 10 police officers. The most gratifying scene the entire night was seeing Fulmer on the sidelines completely flabbergasted and fuming because he couldn't control his team. That was better than any time I've ever seen Steve Spurrier throw his visor.
Though it didn't look like it until the very last drive of the game, but our players and coaches were prepared to expose a heck of a lot more about Tennessee. I can certainly attest to the fact, that both defenses played awesome games holding both teams scoreless until the second half. Alabama has now outscored its opponents this year 50-0 in the 3rd quarter. I certainly would have loved beating UT by as much as we beat Florida, but I'll take the "W" either way. I wouldn't really call this win luck though. It didn't have anything to do with it. That game was up for grabs the entire time. Even with 13 seconds left, I was still ringing my hands knowing what UT has had up their sleeve in the past. I think it came down to who got tired faster and who really wanted that win. The answer to the second one at least is Roman Harper. He's our senior free safety and just blows me away at his talent. He doesn't give up. He could be on one side of the field and see a way to make a play on the other side of the field and he'll go for it. Saturday night, he rammer jammered (only Bama fans will get that) right into the UT player carrying the ball. The UT player was about to score when Roman hit him causing the ball to fly out and through the back of the endzone. Football rules say when that happens, the defense gets the ball as a touchback (80 yards to go). Roll Tide, Bama Ball…and Roman Harper sails into the pontiac game changing performance voting for this week…but not until Brodie hooks up with DJ Hall for a 44 yard run. Then Kenneth Darby keeps it on the ground to get closer to field goal range since technically we only needed 1 point to win with the score tied at 3. Well the offense set up great field goal position for our new star Jamie "Money" Christensen who got a standing ovation in class last week following his game winning field goal against Ole Miss. 34 yards and Money is Money!!! Bama 6 UT 3. I'm not really sure when I started shaking. Was it after the fumble? Was it after the 44 yard pass? Was it after the field goal? I don't know…but I was shaking like a leaf.
There were 13 seconds left on the clock before we kicked off to them, and I just knew it wasn't over. Fulmer has something up his sleeve, I just know it. Apparently, it was a personal foul…they did that a lot on Saturday…get penalized that is. We kicked off and during the kick, they got two penalties, we accepted the 17 yard personal foul with 8 seconds on the clock. Phones started ringing along with me shaking and my hands also ringing. Clausen throws up a hail mary on the last play and it's beautifully intercepted by DeMeco Ryans (finalist for the Lombardi Award) as time expired. They did it, and even if they didn't intend to, they won that game for every single one of us. Fans, Students, Alumni, Players, Former Players, Coaches, Former Coaches (except Franchione), you name it…it was the ugliest, most perfect win I've ever seen. So here's to you Mr. Roman Harper, Mr. Brodie Croyle, Mr. DJ Hall, Mr. Kenneth Darby, Mr. Jamie Christensen, and Mr. DeMeco Ryans (and the rest of the #5 team in the nation). Thanks for letting us see that Bryant-Denny win at least once in my lifetime because I honestly didn't think we ever would.
P.S. The Colts won again. 7-0 now leading into their bye week. The Patriots had a bye. Shaun Alexander is now the Seahawks' leading franchise rusher. Great Weekend…SUPERB!
…I have never written or spoken these words before tonight. You will never hear me say them, again (unless something similar happens in the future). So listen up. I'm only typing this once.
Yes, despite their attempt to implode during the 4th quarter, they beat the Patriots, and made this human being a happy camper. Not only that, but following the 6th week of the regular season, the Patriots are only sporting a .500 season.
Granted all this excitement at the expense of one team's misfortune will inevitably come back to bite me…most likely in the form of Peyton losing Monday Night Football tomorrow night against the Rams. But that would only put his beautiful Colts team at 5-1…way better than .500.
So until the other shoe drops, please return to the rather large point sized font message above. Have a good day.
P.S. Even after that horrible showing on Saturday against Ole Miss, Alabama moved up to #5 in both polls this week. We've won 6 games, so no matter what happens from this point forward…we are BOWL BOUND!! But, if we play like we did on Saturday next week, Tennessee's gonna eat us alive. (No comments from the peanut gallery about how Tennessee would eat us alive regardless. I've heard it all! Sheesh…I'm a Peyton Manning fan…isn't that enough for y'all…do I have to like the stay-puff marshmallow man, too?!?!…that will NEVER happen.)
Rest In Peace Ms. Vivian
It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Vivian Malone Jones. Vivian was one of the first African American students (and first African American graduate of the University) to enroll at the University of Alabama, and was the target of then Governor Wallace's stand in the schoolhouse door. I have always held my alma mater in high esteem, but it's storied past definitely has it's blemishes. Vivian was a fighter. A person to stand up against adversity, prejudice, and racism because she knew she deserved everything any other HUMAN BEING was offered on this earth. I walked past the portrait of her in a red suit on the first floor of Bidgood Hall almost every day of my college career, and it always gave me that extra little push I needed. Because if she could go through everything she endured to graduate from Alabama, then my stupid little things I was going through were a piece of cake. Thanks for the inspiration, Ms. Vivian. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, courageous soul with this world.

Quick…What's Your Theme Song?
You'll probably never hear me profess to being a Johnny Cash fan. In fact, I never really understood the guy, but as I completely understand my obsessions, I submit to understanding other people's obsessions (within legal limits). This weekend I went to the movies and saw Just Like Heaven (great movie…total chick flick…LOVE MARK RUFFALO). During the previews, they showed the trailer for Walk The Line, the new movie about Johnny and June Carter Cash. In the trailer (which was really great actually), it showed a time when Johnny was trying to get started and his soon to be record producer (Sam Phillips) asked him not to just sing any song for him. He asked him to sing the one song he would sing if it were his last few minutes on earth and he were trying to explain to God what his life was all about. I think he chose "Ring of Fire," but I'm not sure.
Now I know I've seen these little survey's before…"define your life by song." People have answered them with a song for each time in their life, but I'm only asking (and only wanting) ONE. I know…it's a challenge. I've gone through several in my head for the last couple of days, but I finally decided on one and it's actually been my very favorite song for a very long time.
"The River" By Garth Brooks
You know a dream is a like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And the dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores… and
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
Let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
It has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide… yes
Repeat Chorus
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all…yes
Repeat Chorus
Yes I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry
So what's your theme song? Remember…just one!
Nervous But Not Lonely At the Top
Week 5 of the 2005 NFL Season is complete. Four teams entered the weekend with an undefeated record. Only one of these teams survived with that record in tact. The Indianapolis Colts. Sure, say what you will…
- They haven't been tested (the players didn't pick the teams they've played so far)
- Peyton Manning's numbers are horrible compared to last year (maybe so…or maybe his defense is finally giving him a break so his offense doesn't have to carry both sides of the ball)
- Wait until the Patriots come calling (yeah…I'm still nervous about this one because I really believe that game is 90% mental)
Regardless of what you want to dish out, I could care less. Last year I had about 7 people to be proud of on the Colts team (Peyton, Marvin, Edgerrin, Brandon, Reggie, Marcus, Dallas). This year, I get to be proud of the entire team. I'm slowly learning the names of the defensive players, but part of me really wonders if I need to learn any other name besides TEAM. They're truly playing like one now…a balanced team. I'm still nervous and wonder when the other shoe will drop, but until then, I'll keep dreaming that I'm still talking this way on February 5th when the final seconds tick off the clock at SuperBowl XL.
P.S. Alabama moved up to 6th and 7th in the two polls and they didn't even have to snap the ball once!
Fun While It Lasted
WHY OH WHY SPORTS ILLUSTRATED DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO US?!?!? Everything was going so great. 5-0 for the first time since I was a freshman in college. Beating a top 5 team for the first time in Tuscaloosa. WHY OH WHY!

Study Objective: To determine whether trisodium phosphonoformate (foscarnet) is efficacious in treating severe mucocutaneous disease due to acyclovir-resistant herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) infection in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Design: Open-labeled drug administration to patients with AIDS and severe ulcerative disease due to acyclovir-resistant HSV-2 infection.
Setting: Medical floors of acute care hospital.
Patients: Four patients with AIDS who developed progressive ulcerative mucocutaneous lesions of the genitals, perineum, perianal region, or finger due to acyclovir-resistant, thymidine-kinase (TK)-negative strains of HSV-2.
Intervention: Foscarnet, 60 mg/kg body weight intravenously every 8 hours (with reduced dosage for renal impairment), for 12 to 50 days.
Measurement and Main Results: All patients receiving foscarnet had dramatic improvement in their clinical findings with marked clearing of mucocutaneous lesions and eradication of HSV from mucosal surfaces.
Conclusion: Foscarnet may be an effective treatment for severe mucocutaneous disease due to acyclovir-resistant, TK-negative strains of HSV-2.

I'll take the definition of "EBM" from their website: Evidence-Based Management is a commitment to finding and using the best theory and data available at the time to make decisions. It builds its methodology on five principles: Face the hard facts – and build a culture which encourages people to tell the truth. Be committed … Continue reading
We all know how immensely crucial our immediate managers are in day-to-day working life. They are the persons who guide us, steer us, motivate us, coach us, keep us in check, define targets, create the team's working environment, keep nagging corporate execs from disturbing us from our daily proceedings, take the flack, praise us, understand us and so on. Without them we would be steerless. Like a ship at sail without its captain. We probably also know how it is to work for somebody who does not meet up to a lot of these expectations and how difficult it can be to work for somebody like that. Continue reading
When managers interview new candidates for a certain position, they all too often approach the interview incorrectly. The site which is linked below describes some common pitfalls and there is nothing more to add really. If all of these are taken as advice and used the next time a job interview is made, then chances are indeed high that a correct candidate is chosen. It is not so much these 10 mistakes which I want to write about, but rather comment 13. Continue reading

Robina enters Cape Town Cycle Tour
We are immensely proud of our trustee, Robina Talbot-Ponsonby (owner Langrish House), who has set herself an enormous challenge on our behalf. Next week she travels to South Africa to take part in the Cape Town Cycle Tour – the largest, timed cycling event in the world.
Robina tells us "Just once I wanted to challenge myself physically and help others whilst doing so. I had no conception of the enormity of what I was taking on and despite hours and hours of training (!), since last June, I cannot be sure I will actually complete the full 109km (with the occasional, enormous hill en route) however you know I will give it my best shot."
On the morning of Sunday, 8th March, Robina will be one of the 35,000 cyclists lined up to ride the 109km route through some of the world's most spectacular scenery that includes the iconic Table Mountain as a backdrop. We all wish you the very best of luck!
If you would like to sponsor Robina, please visit her My Donate page. Cape Town Cycle Tour
We think Robina will be very relieved to reach this point after all those hills!

Shen Yueyue, Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and President of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), met with Uzbekistan's Deputy Prime Minister Tanzila Narbaeva and Ing Kantha Phavi, Minister of the Women's Affairs of Cambodia, in Beijing on May 16, respectively.
When meeting with Narbaeva, Shen thanked her for heading the high-level delegation to attend the First Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Forum on Women, and thanked the Uzbekistan government, parliament and Narbaeva herself for attaching great importance to the bilateral relations and women's exchanges under the framework of the SCO.
She pointed out that China-Uzbekistan relations have achieved a leap-forward in development, since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1992 and comprehensive strategic partnership based on mutual trust for mutual benefit.
In May 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev agreed during their meeting to carry on China-Uzbek friendship from generation to generation and improve the two countries' ties to benefit the people.
Shen added that she hoped that Chinese and Uzbek government would implement the consensus reached by the heads of States, and, according to the Belt and Road Initiative, deepen the communication and cooperation on women's affairs. She said women of the two countries should make contributions to the friendship between Chinese and Uzbek people, and the common development of women from SCO countries with their wisdom and strength.
When meeting with Ing Kantha Phavi, Shen thanked the Cambodian parliment and government leaders for their great attention to China-Cambodia ties and their warm reception during her latest visit to Cambodia, and evaluated the development of the bilateral relations and women's exchange.
China and Cambodia have a long history of friendship. Cambodia is a friendly neighbor and important partner of China, said Shen. China will cooperate closely with Cambodia to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, deepen cooperation in women's affairs, and enrich the connotations of the comprehensive strategic partnership.
Shen said she hoped that women in both countries would strengthen their communication, learn from each other, and work together to promote women's development in the two countries. She hoped they would make unremitting efforts to promote the progress of the Belt and Road Initiative and ensure the people's welfare and prosperity and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as forging a community of common destiny and shared interests with neighbors.
During the meetings, Shen also introduced to the guests the achievements that Chinese women have made under the leadership of the Communist Party of China Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core.
Both Narbaeva and Ing Kantha Phavi spoke highly of China's achievements in various fields. They said that women in their countries would like to strengthen friendly exchanges with Chinese women and the countries would deepen bilateral friendship and cooperation with China.
Xia Jie, Vice-President and Member of the Secretariat of the ACWF, attended the meetings.

Arthur Paul Watkins and Genesee Lime Products Company, Inc., Plaintiffs-appellants, v. Phillip Rupert, Chairman, Local Draft Board No. 76, Selective Service System, Defendant-appellee, 224 F.2d 47 (2d Cir. 1955)Annotate this Case
Decided June 22, 1955
Dennis J. Livadas, Rochester, N. Y., for plaintiffs-appellants.
Donald F. Potter, Asst. U. S. Atty. for Western Dist. of New York, Buffalo, N. Y. (John O. Henderson, U. S. Atty., Buffalo, N. Y., on the brief), for defendant-appellee.
Before CLARK, Chief Judge, CHASE, Circuit Judge, and RYAN, District Judge.
The district court was clearly correct in refusing to give plaintiffs the relief they seek at this time. Judicial intervention in the selective service selection system — in any case drastically limited, 50 U.S.C.Appendix, § 460(b) — must await the exhaustion by the registrant of all administrative remedies. The exact point at which such remedies have been fully utilized may not always be easy to ascertain, but no judicial review has ever been held appropriate before the registrant has responded, either affirmatively or negatively, to the order of induction. Falbo v. United States, 320 U.S. 549, 64 S. Ct. 346, 88 L. Ed. 305; Estep v. United States, 327 U.S. 114, 66 S. Ct. 423, 90 L. Ed. 567; Witmer v. United States, 348 U.S. 375, 75 S. Ct. 392. Certainly no adequate showing of danger of irreparable harm, prerequisite to any kind of injunctive relief, can be made so long as the registrant has not decided whether or not to obey the induction order and before the government has decided whether or not to prosecute if he decides not to report. And if plaintiff Watkins is unwilling to run the gamut of criminal prosecution, he can test the legality of his induction after he has submitted to it by suing out a writ of habeas corpus.
The judgment is affirmed; and the plaintiffs' motion for intermediate relief, including additional time to perfect their appeal and stay of induction, is denied.

As the federal budget is in a perpetual state of deficit spending, beginning new programs requires reallocating federal resources. When significant new federal funding is required, the urgent political need warranting a change in spending priorities must be established. Hence, the first political battle to be won, to transform America into a true commercial spacefaring nation, is to establish the urgency for action that cannot be undertaken with existing federal funding allocations.
The driving political need for President Kennedy's ambitious Apollo program was to win the Cold War between the United States and the former Soviet Union. While the Cold War was fought on many fronts, the public competition between America's capitalistic economy and the Soviet Union's communist economy for dominance in space technologies was "fought" in the competing civilian space programs. At the time of President Kennedy's 1962 speech, the Soviet Union was leading. An indication of the rising tension was that the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the United States and the Soviet Union came very close to nuclear war, was just five weeks in the future at the time of Kennedy's speech. America went on to win this competition with the Apollo manned lunar landings. By the 1980s, the former Soviet Union collapsed economically while trying to keep up with America's technologically-surging economy—especially its aerospace civilian and military capabilities.
The current driving political needs for America to now undertake a commercial human spacefaring transformation are to remove the environmental and energy security threats discussed above. These threats are no less serious than the Cold War threat posed by the former Soviet Union. If nature goes to "war" with human civilization through human-caused harmful environmental changes, this is a war human civilization will most likely lose. If industrialized nations experience a declining middle-class standard of living due to energy shortages and rising energy prices as non-sustainable fossil fuel resources are exhausted, military conflict among nuclear-armed nations is a strong possibility. Reasonable Americans understand the seriousness of these threats and the need for American-led solutions. When examined, reasonable Americans will agree that GEO space solar power is the proper solution for America to pursue to resolve these two threats in an orderly and timely manner.
