A Typical Day For PFC Bradley Manning at Fort Leavenworth
Unlike at Quantico, PFC Manning cell has a large window that provides adequate natural light. His cell also has a desk, a bed, and a toilet. The cell is approximately 80 square feet. He is provided with a normal mattress, sheets and a pillow. None of his clothing is taken away from him at night. PFC Manning is able to have all of his personal items in his cell, which include his clothing, his legal materials, books and letters from family and friends. He is also able to have a pen and paper at all times in his cell, and is able to write whenever he chooses.
PFC Manning is housed in a special area of the confinement facility, along with other pre-trial detainees. Each pre-trial area (including PFC Manning's) has four cells, and each pre-trial detainee is assigned to his own cell. The cells are connected to a shared common area, with a table, a treadmill, a television and a shower area. Click here in order to see photos of the JRCF area.
A typical timeline for PFC Manning's day (and those of all other pre-trial detainees) follows:
At 04:50, PFC Manning is given a wake-up call. Over the next 10 minutes, he gets dressed, shaves, and begins to get ready for the day.
At 05:00, the lights come on and the door to his cell opens to the common area. PFC Manning finishes getting ready and joins the two other pre-trial detainees housed in his quarters in the common area.
At 05:15, PFC Manning and all the other pre-trial detainees are escorted by one guard to the cafeteria. There are no restraints placed on any of the pre-trial detainees. The cafeteria has multiple food selections, as well as a full compliment of coffee, juice, milk and soda. PFC Manning eats his breakfast together with the 6 other pre-trial detainees currently at the JRCF. He and the other pre-trial detainees in his quarters are then escorted back to the common area.
From 06:00-11:00, PFC Manning is permitted to watch television, sit in the common area, talk to other detainees, use the treadmill, or use the shower. At 11:00, the group is escorted back to the cafeteria for lunch. After they finish lunch at 12:00, the group is brought back to the common area where they remain for the next couple hours.
At 14:00, PFC Manning and his group are taken to the outdoor recreation area. This area has several basketball courts, a quarter-mile running track, weight machines, and a handball court.
After approximately two hours of outdoor recreation time, PFC Manning and his group return to the common area. At 16:00, he along with the others, are taken down to the cafeteria for dinner.
Immediately after dinner, PFC Manning is permitted to either go to the library or to the indoor recreation area (both of which are outside the common area of his cell quarters). PFC Manning is allowed to remain there until approximately 18:30. He then returns to the common area of his cell quarters, where is permitted to read, watch television, socialize with others, etc.
At 22:00, PFC Manning goes into to his individual cell, and the doors to his cell are locked for the night.
Weekends are considered "free time." Unlike weekdays, PFC Manning is allowed to sleep as much as he likes. Movies are also provided to pre-trial detainees on weekends.
The JRCF permits visitors on Monday-Friday from 19:00-21:30 and on weekends/holidays from 08:00-11:00 and from 13:00-16:00. As with Quantico, only those who are on PFC Manning's authorized list are permitted to see him. Unlike Quantico, however, PFC Manning can receive mail from anyone. Any mail sent to PFC Manning will be inspected prior to him receiving it. He is permitted to keep up to 20 pieces of mail in his cell; the remaining mail must be either destroyed or be packaged and mailed to someone else. Correspondence can be sent to PFC Manning at the following address:
Bradley Manning 89289
830 Sabalu Road
Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027-2315

David Coombs, thank you for this thorough update.ReplyDelete
Confinement is still a terrible punishment, no matter how many surface "freedoms" it appears to offer. Bradley Manning deserves freedom.

Such good news. I hope the hell of the last 9 months or so have not had any lasting impact.ReplyDelete
A vast improvement over the illegal and torturous behavior at Quantico. Hopefully you'll be able to bring the perpetrators of that abuse to justice, as well.ReplyDelete
Coombs, do you know if Manning has chosen to or if he regularly sends out the mail he gets - for posterity - or the frequency at which he is receiving letters, or the impact these letters might be having on him? Do you have a public comment on these queries? Do you know to what extent he is informed on the public reaction (to his situation) in America or the world at large?ReplyDelete
I'm sorry if you've answered any of these questions before, I haven't been following this blog as much as I've wanted to. Thank you for defending Bradley Manning and thank you for providing the public with a blog for communications about him and his situation.

Are we permitted to send postage stamps, envelopes, writing paper, canteen money, etc.? Is there set of instructions regarding things we can send to Bradley?ReplyDelete

Let Manning know he is in our thoughts and prayers and that as an American I still believe in the Constitution and in actually following it.ReplyDelete
And I second what Nigel Parry said.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the report, Mr Coombs.ReplyDelete
A considerably positive change, when compared to the conditions he was in for the past nine months or so. Hopefully this is REAL, and not another facade of humane and appropriate treatment like at Quantico.
I will not get my hopes up yet, though. I shall wait and see what will transpire during his trial(s), should there be any.

Throws an interesting light on the brave and tough guys at Quantico.ReplyDelete
Hope you drummed it into him NOT to talk about anything case-related (except I didn't do it) to other pre-trial detainees bc it will backfire! He should be very very careful when talking with other pre-trial detainees. Quite possible the gov offers them a deal when they only testify against Bradley (usually things work that way). Just assume the worst to be on the safe side!!!
Relieved that his conditions have improved that much! But the worst is yet to come .... his "trial" (i.e.if there should be ever one...)
- AnonymousMay 4, 2011 at 9:19 AM
I too want to know about sending canteen money or items that he may need that can be sent to him. I've already contributed to his defense fund and hope others will do so as well.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Mr. Coombs. It was so good to read this. I know you are paid for what you are doing--but I believe you are going beyond any paid service for this brave whistleblowing hero. I am unemployed and in a bit of turmoil--so my written piece has lagged (and perhaps that's fine) about the May 19th action. If he IS able to view anything on the internet--I hope he'll get to see the video I did in which most of the incredible speeches of that day (and the action outside the gate--are interwoven into the 15 minute limit youtube likes for mini-documentary videos of this sort. I hope they end the prosecution of your client. But BRADLEY YOU ARE A HERO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef1JRwpI-ZIReplyDelete
I guess he's going to be inundated with mail. So I shall not send anything.ReplyDelete
What he really needs is an outside agency to handle everything.
A PR COMPANY with impeccable credentials and PROVEN SECURITY.
Come on, guys, this is going to be the BIGGEST THING EVAR SOON!
Thank you for this update--I just pray that they have not completely destroyed himn by all the awful things that were done to him over so long a period of time--please let him know (as I'm sure you have) how many of us love him, have him in our thoughts all the time, support him, think he is an inestimable hero and wish to do anything he wants or we can to help him in any way. I"m assuming he knows (if he is not too depressed to have it matter now that he'sl been broken down so much) how many thousands of people admire and care deeply for him, his safety, and his sanity and will do whatever we can to see him through this. And thank YOU, David, for being thye strong advocate and coordinator you are.ReplyDelete

What about Private Manning changed to justify removing him from Prevention of Injury watch? If nothing changed then either he should still be on Prevention of Injury watch, or he never should have been there in the first place.ReplyDelete
How does the Army justify his being on Prevention of Injury watch before 20 April but not afterward?
Thanks for the detailed account. :)ReplyDelete

Is Bradley's trial still supposed to be held in Washington, D.C.? Will he be flown to and from Kansas every day, or will they move him back to the D.C. area?ReplyDelete
If they do still plan to hold the trial in D.C., isn't Quantico the only facility in the area they can put him in? I think I read that somewhere.
- AnonymousMay 4, 2011 at 3:24 PM
Will Lamo testify against Manning in the military hearing? And, do you think it is possible to file a civil suit against the U.S. Government over this issue? Seems like there are serious constitutional problems and then breach of contract re. the military and Manning. Have you thought of bringing a federal trial attorney on board rather than merely relying on military justice which seems wholly unconstitutional from my perspective. Will Manning be suing over the torture, etc?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 4, 2011 at 3:25 PM
P.S. Looks like Lamo would last 5 minutes on the witness stand. Is it possible he wasn't communicating with Manning and falsified documents? I've reviewed the IMs posted at wired and the time sequences and conversations make no sense - whatsoever.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 4, 2011 at 3:52 PM
Just as Manning's official health status reports were periodically released over the last 9 months, hopefully Mr. Coombs can get updated versions issued periocially while Manning is at Leavenworth. It's important to compare his health while in Virginia to his health while in Kansas.ReplyDelete

Great news I guess but freedom would be better. All the best to Bradley.ReplyDelete
I believe that Obama didn't want to have "torture protests" disrupting his campaign.ReplyDelete
I want to add my thanks to the others' for your posting this update, and hope Pfc. Manning's mental status is intact after all he's been through. I would also like to know about what kinds of items he can receive. Thanks for your work beyond the call of duty!ReplyDelete

Thank you Mr. Coombs for giving us, the public, access to what is going on with Manning, as far we can truly know in such circumstances. Yes, the comment about his now being off suicide watch. All of sudden he becomes non-suicidal? Makes no sense. I hope those at Quantico who tortured/mistreaded him will be prosecuted fully under the law for any laws they broke. They were trying to break him as a person/soul/spirit. I hope and pray they did not succeed. They so need to punished. I hope for the best outcome possible. He's a hero in many ways, because in the end only the people being informed of what's really going on, is just and right. Thank you very much.ReplyDelete

what a relief, still a long fight ahead, but what a reliefReplyDelete
It seems very odd to me that Mr. Manning's situation is not being forced into immediate resolution after President Obama's incorrect statement. I may be wrong, but Mr Manning did NOT break any law; he broke military policy and practice by revealing the activity which WAS breaking law, or at least conducting completely immoral, unethical behaviour, breaking military policy and practice. I now will be suspect of ANYTHING which makes Manning appear to be involved in "more" than this exposure.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 22, 2011 at 5:46 AM
David Coombs, With regard to mail policies, Please clarify, Does Bradley have to immediately mail or destroy previous letters in order to receive new mail?Does that also mean any letter he choses to keep in his possession will count toward his daily limit of new mail? I am curious, please respond at your convenience. THANK YOUReplyDelete
- r.m.qvam, norwayMay 23, 2011 at 3:44 PM
If B. Manning is guilty in doing what he is accused of, has he broken the law? When German soldiers and officers after WW2 defended their actions by saying they had only followed orders, The International Military Tribunal (in Nurnberg 1946) stated that it is every officer's and soldier's duty to follow his or her conscience rather than orders from a commanding officer, when those orders mean breaking national or internatioanl laws.ReplyDelete
- Peter BelewJuly 15, 2011 at 5:27 PM
I am glad to read that PFC Manning is being treated much more humanely at this facility. I hope the court will understand the sorts of stress he was in while on duty, many related to his sexuality, and the fact that he felt he was doing the right thing by being a whistleblower.ReplyDelete
The major thing that baffles me about this case is the fact that virtually no one appears to be concentrating on the crimes committed by the American army. Clearly, David Coombs is more than experienced enough to know whether or not this question might help his client. Perhaps it will be brought up at some point, or perhaps it is irrelevant. However, by International standards, the USA army, and government have committed war crimes, have they not? Bradley Manning and Wikileaks exposed them. How does exposing such hideous acts against civilians make someone emotionally unstable? Again, I have faith that David Coombs is presenting the correct arguments. This is far from my area of expertise, but on a personal level, I find myself constantly wondering - "what is so sane about a government that can commit these autrocities; hide them from a democratic nation and its allies and make no official statement about its culpability in crimes against humanity?" Bradley Manning is surely also a convenient way of shifting the focus away from the American government's own actions. From a psychiatric point of view, surely an entitiy that justifies, covers and refuses to acknowledge its actions, is dangerously psychopathic. On the other hand, a young man who cannot bear to see human atrocities committed by the organisation he represents, and feels the need, therefore, to do something about them, can hardly be considred 'unstable' by comparison?ReplyDelete
sad to see...such brave and honest man..to be treated with such disgrace..God help you ...@Muriel..i totally agree...culprits are nowhere in the scene...?ReplyDelete

Racing-Métro became the first team to win in Toulon this season, upsetting the Top 14 leaders 19-15 in a nail-biting clash on Sunday.
Racing-Métro became the first team to win in Toulon this season, upsetting the Top 14 leaders 19-15 in a nail-biting encounter at Stade Felix Mayol on Sunday.
The result is Toulon's first loss on home soil since September 2011. RCT nevertheless remain at the summit of the Top 14 standings although their lead over Clermont has been cut to just four points.
Toulon led 9-6 at half time but Racing centre Henry Chavancy's try soon after the interval proved to be the turning point in the game.
Once they had their noses in front, the Parisian visitors produced an immense defensive effort to keep Toulon's star-studded attack at bay and put their mixed start to their season firmly behind them.
Toulon, averaging more than 42 points per game at home and bidding to take their winning streak at Stade Mayol to 19 matches, were outmuscled by a Racing side led magnificently by captain Dimitri Szarzewski and Fiji number eight Sakiusa Matadigo.
After two appearances off the bench since a three-month lay-off following a herniated disc, Racing fly-half Jonathan Wisniewski banged over a seventh minute penalty to open the scores.
But Wisniewski was at fault soon after as he missed a tackle on barging centre Mathieu Bastareaud, Jonny Wilkinson on target with the penalty awarded as Racing hurried to close ranks.
The former England fly-half kicked a second penalty, but Wisniewski drew the score level with a smart drop-goal.
Wilkinson then exited the field after a bloody clash of heads with Benjamin Fall. As "Wilko" was receiving three stitches to the head wound, his Racing counterpart missed a penalty in his absence.
On his return, the Englishman was on hand to hit a third penalty after a stupid offside by Szarzewski to leave the home side 9-6 up at the break.
But the second-half started perfectly for Racing, centre Fabrice Estabanez fending off Bastareaud and Matt Giteau to find Chavency on his inside for a try which Wisniewski converted to open the game up.
Wilkinson fell short with a 52-metre penalty but nailed his next effort to bring Toulon within one point of the Parisians.
Wisniewski stretched the visitors' lead with another penalty and traded a further penalty with Wilkinson in the dying minutes as Racing held out with a formidable defence against an unusually toothless Toulon attack.
"They played great tonight, with a lot of pride," said Toulon captain Joe van Niekerk.
"We're very disappointed. But we'll go away and keep on working. We've lost once here (this season). We're not finished, no way."
Racing now sit eighth in the Top 14 table.
The scorers:
For Toulon:
Pens: Wilkinson 5
For Racing Metro:
Try: Chavancy
Con: Wisniewski,
Pens: Wisniewski 3
Drop: Wisniewski

The Predictive Power of Merger Analysis
John B. Kirkwood
Seattle University School of Law
Fall 2011
Antitrust Bulletin, Vol. 56, No. 3, p. 543, 2011
Seattle University School of Law Research Paper No. 12-2
This article looks first at the process courts use to resolve merger challenges and finds that in the area of product market definition, merger analysis is reasonably strong. Market definition remains complex and subjective, however, and could be improved, or avoided altogether, through econometric techniques such as merger simulation. Judicial analysis of entry is much weaker. Courts ask whether the market is protected by entry barriers but rarely ask whether the barriers are high enough to make entry unprofitable.
The article also examines the results of "marginal" mergers, mergers that would have been blocked if the government and courts had been somewhat more aggressive. Measured in this way, merger analysis is not seriously off target: the merger retrospectives find that very few transactions led to sharp price changes. They also find, however, that a large proportion of marginal mergers resulted in small price increases, which suggests that in appropriate cases, enforcement agencies and courts should be more willing to predict anticompetitive effects.

Make it Murray for capital gains
Our Andy Schooler brings you his betting preview of the ATP World Tour Finals with home hope Andy Murray his headline pick.
- Related Content
It's been the best year for British tennis in an awfully long time and Andy Murray can cap it off with victory at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals this week.
The British star, who will be competing in front of his home fans at the O2 in London, broke his Grand Slam duck at the US Open, just weeks after winning Olympic gold.
And now he looks the logical call for victory at this prestigious event which features the season's best eight players - or rather eight of the top nine with Rafael Nadal absent through injury.
Murray's performances in the past six months mean he is now very much sitting at the top table of the game rather than simply sharing the same room as the likes of Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
He beat Federer in the Olympic final and Djokovic in the US decider, shedding the tag of being a nearly man.
He'll face Djokovic, the tournament favourite, again here in the group stage but even if he loses that contest, Murray should progress to the last four with Tomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also in the pool.
Murray may have fallen just short in several recent matches - he's had three defeats since the US Open in matches in which he's held match point - but narrow losses in Tokyo, Shanghai and Paris shouldn't be too much of a concern.
This is the one tournament that really matters after the US Open, particularly to Murray, and instead it should be seen as a positive that he was within a single point of defeating Djokovic again in China.
Djokovic, slightly shorter than Murray in the betting, clearly has the potential to win but at no better than 9/4 there are reasons to swerve him.
A lot of the top players failed to perform in Paris last week but arguably of most concern of all of those 'shock' defeats was Djokovic's.
He won the first eight games against Sam Querrey before losing in his opening match.
The nature of his defeat suggests very much that his mind is elsewhere due to his father's recent illness.
Djokovic's post-match comments were hardly encouraging for London backers either.
"Now that I'm done with the tournament, I will sit down with the team and see what's the best thing to do before London," said the Serb.
"The way I feel, I definitely need a few days' rest, and then try to get a few days' practice before the tournament starts."
Anyone who saw Djokovic at the O2 last year would have seen an ailing player and his record of 9-9 at the season-ending event belies his position as one of the world's best.
The opposing group would appear the weaker of the two. It is led by Roger Federer but both David Ferrer and Juan Martin Del Potro will fancy their chances of reaching the last four.
Janko Tipsarevic, who has a 1-11 record against his group foes looks up against it.
In contrast, Federer, a 10/3 shot with the layers, is 31-3 but he hasn't looked in the best of form in recent months, with significant defeats to Berdych, Murray and Del Potro in recent times. He last beat one of the seven here back in August.
Certainly his form is not what is was this time last year when he swept all before him in London to win the season-ending event for the sixth time.
Just one defeat in the group stage can eliminate you and that could well come against Del Potro, who beat the Swiss on his home turf in Basel last month.
The value in this group may, however, lie with Ferrer.
The Spaniard is certainly a player in great form at present and he arrives having won back-to-back indoor tournaments in Valencia and Paris.
The level is about to rise in London but no-one goes into the tournament with the momentum he does.
Critics will says he'll be tired after two weeks of tennis and they have a point.
However, history shows that Ferrer has been able to produce some of his best tennis at the back end of the season - having qualified for this event three times he's twice got out of the group stages, reaching the final in 2007 and making the semis 12 months ago.
The court in London's O2 Arena hasn't played particularly quick in previous years and that will help Ferrer's run-all-day game.
He was impressive on return of serve in Paris during the past week and his serve was also tough to break, something which adds up to an impressive package.
Nikolay Davydenko, Del Potro and Tsonga have all been big-priced finalists at the O2 over the past three years and Ferrer's form suggests he could add his name to that list.
So instead of backing him at 13/8 to qualify from his group, we're going to side with him to small stakes each way in the outright market at 28/1.
There are solid reasons to believe it might pay off and leave punters finishing the ATP season on a high.

I dont know if the kyuubi will teach naruto an acutual technique, but i think they will help each other as a team because the last time they talked. naruto now seems friendly with the kyuubi, he even jumped on his nose and gave him a pat on the head.
my idea with the kyuubi having knowledge of jutsu is when naruto resealed the kyuubi, he stated the seal was "the sage of six paths" my idea was maybe the kyuubi has memories of when he was part of the jyuubi and inside the sage of six paths himself.

Allocating the Costs of the Climate Crisis: Efficiency Versus Justice
Amy Sinden
Temple University - James E. Beasley School of Law; Center for Progressive Reform
July 27, 2011
Washington Law Review, Vol. 85, p. 293, 2010
Temple University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2011-39
In the international negotiations aimed at reaching an agreement to reduce the greenhouse - gas emissions that are driving global warming, the developed and developing countries are talking past each other. The developed world is speaking the language of efficiency, while the developing world speaks the language of justice. Economic theory and the concept of efficiency are fine for answering the question of who should reduce, but that is not the contentious issue. When it comes to the hotly contested issue of who should pay, economic theory offers no guidance, and the developing world is right to insist that we look to principles of justice. This Article considers three kinds of approaches to the who-should-pay question: 1) those that take status quo emissions levels as their starting point; 2) those that allocate emissions rights on a per capita basis; and 3) those that allocate the costs of emissions reductions on the basis of ability to pay.
The Article then considers three possible models for conceptualizing the who-should-pay question in light of widely shared principles of justice: 1) the property model views it as a problem of dividing and allocating a commonly held property right - the capacity of the atmosphere to absorb greenhouse gases; 2) the tort model views it as a question of how to allocate costs when one party causes injury to another and 3) the tax model views it as a situation in which a group of persons or entities are all engaged in a common enterprise to promote the common good and must allocate the costs of that enterprise.
The Article evaluates each of the three approaches to the who-should-pay question under each of these three models of justice, and concludes that the per capita approach is the clear winner. It comports best with the property and tort models of justice, and with respect to the tax model, it comes in a close second. A rough calculation reveals that, if a per capita approach is indeed the most just, then the recent proposals by developing countries that the developed countries each contribute 1% of their gross domestic product to adaptation and mitigation efforts in the developing world is quite reasonable, perhaps even a bargain. Finally, the Article considers and responds to several counterarguments against the per capita approach.

"It's easy to slip on but has no arch support and runs short so order 1/2 size up if you can; I could not because it only goes to 11 so I wear it w/o socks and hopefully it will stretch. It feels like a slipper with no support rather than a shoe so I would not recommend walking all day in it as the description states."

Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C Canon
Further readings for the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM C Canon
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
This is the second and final part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D. This time we've assessed zoom lenses from both the Canon and third party makers to see how well they perform on the camera, and like before we'll not only reveal the best performers but also take a closer look at the more accessibly priced options.
DPReview: Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM | C review
To website
The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is a premium fast 'normal' zoom for APS-C SLRs, which is designed as an upgrade for photographers who have outgrown the 'kit' zooms typically supplied with camera bodies. It was announced at Photokina 2012, as the first lens in Sigma's new 'Contemporary' category of compact general-purpose zooms for everyday photography. It's a successor to a near identically-named lens from December 2009, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM, but is smaller and lighter, uses revised optics, and has a new cosmetic design. Prior to this Sigma made the unstabilised 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC, a lens which was very highly regarded in its time.Read the article
With its compact and lightweight body, the Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 is the smallest DSLR in the firm's line-up. While it adopts a similar performing sensor to the EOS 700D, the body is around 25% of the size of that model by volume and presents its own set of challenges when selecting lenses for it. In this review, we've taken a look at the optical quality of 130 different lenses fitted to the camera but this time we're also making some limited recommendations about the handling and video capabilities.
For many people an introduction to photography is through a compact camera: usually, these days, one with a zoom lens covering medium-wide through to short telephoto. The next step is often an SLR and the "standard" zoom, covering the same range. The quality of this "standard" zoom can be the difference between great results and disappointment, so the choice is important. This Sigma 17-70 f2.8-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is both good and versatile, no disappointment here.
Added by Mato34 | March 03 , 2013
Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

"Greetings from the weather capital of the world. Phil is resting and getting ready for mating season now that his big prediction is over, but fear not. Groundhog Day is about the coming of spring, about frivolity, about curing cabin fever ( and my guess is that you and your neighbors understand cabin fever) All that being said, spring is coming… granted we may have a bit more snow, a bit more cold and a bit more wind, but alas it will come followed by summer and fall and winter again and then again next year Phil will predict the weather for the world for the 125th year. So until then Warm regards on a cold day…..
From the prognosticators of prognosticators…
And please note, we are only 2 weeks in to Phil's prediction of 6 more weeks of winter weather….."

Robb Quinlan is in camp with the Phillies, and ESPN's Jayson Stark has a great anecdote about Mike Scioscia's favorite player at the end of a column on past and present Braves managers.

The best in the world against their closest rivals – Saturday's match at Eden Park between the All Blacks and Springboks is a sellout.
The best in the world against their closest rivals – Saturday's match at Eden Park between the All Blacks and Springboks is a sellout.
Blockbuster fixtures are what The Rugby Championship is all about, and few games get bigger than this.
A 42-year hoodoo was lifted from South Africa last weekend with their win against Australia in Brisbane, providing a much-needed boost to Heyneke Meyer and his squad over questions as to whether they could win away from home.
As abysmal a performance that Australia produced last Saturday, the Springboks were still excellent. Four tries, including one each from Willie Le Roux and Zane Kirchner, have for now at least kept the critics quiet.
It has not been quite so long since a Springbok victory on New Zealand soil, four years in fact, but the buzz around this fixture is centred on a belief that South Africa can win.
Four years ago in Hamilton it required 22 points from the boots of two Steyns – Morné and Frans – to seal the win, either side of tries from Fourie du Preez and Jean de Villiers.
Now captain of his country, De Villiers has been an exemplary leadership figure throughout the Springboks' 2013 international fixtures. His nous for hitting the line hasn't been lost either, as shown against the Wallabies.
The '09 vintage Boks that defeated the British and Irish Lions and won the Tri-Nations were a special breed, but the signs thus far under Meyer are that the current herd are moving in the right direction.
The heavyweight back-row of Francois Louw, Willem Alberts and Duane Vermeulen flourished against Michael Hooper, shutting down the Waratahs openside through little else but raw power. It drew the effusive praise of their captain afterwards, another shot back at those who have doubted what South Africa are made of.
Reasoning for why the Springboks have a fighting chance in Auckland comes down to the fact that so many of their jigsaw pieces are already in place. There is a front-row with nearly 150 Test caps between them, a back-row answering back at their critics. Add the mercurial boot of Morné Steyn, the emerging combination between de Villiers and JJ Englebrecht, plus the threat of Bryan Habana and Le Roux and you have a worthy challenger.
Even Zane Kirchner – that selection ridiculed by so many ahead of last weekend – was effective at Suncorp in doing his job.
So far, so outstanding. Yet are South Africa truly capable of turning over the All Blacks at Eden Park – a venue where they remain unbeaten since 1994?
The gut reaction is no. Sure, New Zealand toiled to a win over Santiago Phelan's reborn Argentina side last weekend in Hamilton. But the conditions were a leveller, with more handling errors and than any top Test match should ever have.
It wasn't Steve Hansen's finest match in charge. New Zealand struggled at the scrum, Juan Figallo earning his stripes, whilst they lost Richie McCaw for a month due to a knee injury.
Underestimating McCaw's influence on New Zealand is naive – after all, no captain in the history of the game has more Test wins. The All Blacks are good enough to win without him, but less certain to.
That absence of McCaw's experience is a big reason for the return of Liam Messam. The Chiefs co-captain had some year in Super Rugby, yet lost his number six jersey to the impressive Steven Luatua due to injury. Now, Messam is back – forming a new-look back-row alongside Sam Cane and Kieran Read.
That is why the All Blacks are better than everyone else. McCaw drops out, Cane – the heir apparent – slots in. There is never a catastrophic loss of talent should one player miss out; just look at how they handled the disaster that was losing Dan Carter, Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett to injury at fly-half by bringing in Tom Taylor. Depth is never an issue for New Zealand.
Except maybe at hooker. Dane Coles has arrived in the starting line-up not so much to a fanfare, but more like derision from South Africa and scepticism from his homeland. Hansen believes Coles is the future, but he sort of has to be. Keven Mealamu will be 36 by the time the next World Cup rolls around. Andrew Hore is reportedly retiring after The Rugby Championship.
A straight-up arm wrestle at the breakdown between the two back-rows has no obvious winner. Seeing Coles line up at hooker, regardless of having Tony Woodcock and Owen Franks either side of him, is an early plus for the Springbok Mtwarira-du Plessis axis.
Still, even with McCaw absent, doubts over Coles and a South African side on an impressive winning streak, New Zealand are favourites. Just not by as much as we're used to.
Ones to Watch:
For New Zealand: The scrutiny will be over Coles at hooker, but creeping back into your screens at inside centre is Ma'a Nonu. Unwanted in New Zealand, Nonu has now reportedly tied up a deal with Clermont, where he will join a centres depth chart that includes Regan King, Benson Stanley and Wesley Fofana. For a player who is not exactly used to being challenged for his spot, the move to Clermont will be some shift – but perhaps Nonu needs it. His Super Rugby performances over the last two seasons have been disappointing and Francis Saili appears to be his successor.
For South Africa: There is a little bit of heat on Ruan Pienaar. Not enough for his place to be threatened, but slow distribution at the breakdown has long been Pienaar's biggest criticism. Normally the first-choice goalkicker for Ulster, the other facets of Pienaar's game that aren't quite as good tend to be covered up; but with the Boks there is nowhere to hide. Jano Vermaak's chance will come soon, so Pienaar has to put in a performance.
Head to Head: Two of the world's finest number tens. Dan Carter appears fully recovered from the calf injury that kept him out of the first two matches against the Wallabies. The all-time leading Test points scorer was feeling the pressure until Aaron Cruden picked up his injury, but remains world-class in all facets of the fly-half role. Morné Steyn on the other hand has improved. Often criticised for being overly one-dimensional with his kicking game, Steyn has opened up the Springboks attack so far in the Rugby Championship, and it's working. It could prove to be the making of his legend – not just a great kicking fly-half, but a great one all round.

The Emery High wrestling team traveled to Richfield last weekend and participated in the 2-A Divisionals with all the other 2-A teams in the state. Emery and region 15 matched up with the southern region as they set the placement of wrestlers in this week's state tournament at the Maverik Center in West Valley City.
Emery had 14 wrestlers in the tournament and nine of them advanced to the state meet. That meet will begin for the 2-A teams this Friday morning at 10:30 a.m.
Matt Mecham at 160 pounds and Zach West at 220 pounds won their divisions and will be in good position to bring home a championship when this is over Saturday night.
Mecham opened the day with a pin against a wrestler from Enterprise, followed that up with a 6-1 decision over a wrestler from Delta and then closed it out with another pin against an Enterprise wrestler. Mecham currently has a 26-10 record.
West also started with a pin over an Enterprise wrestler and he followed that up with a pin against a South Sevier wrestler and then won the championship with another pin, this time over a wrestler from Delta. West is now 34-5 for the year.
Ryan Cox, at 145 pounds, made it to the championship round but lost to a wrestler from Delta. He had earlier defeated wrestlers from Kanab, Beaver and Enterprise. Cox has a 29-9 season record.
McKoy Christiansen, at 120 pounds, and David Bird, at 126 pounds, each finished third and could also do some damage at this week's meet. Christiansen won three of four matches while Bird won four of five only losing to the eventual winner.
Justin Jennings also at 126 pounds finished seventh and will travel to the meet as will Logan Ewell at 106 pounds, Hunter Hatch at 170 pounds and Duncan Thomas at 220 pounds. These last three finished eighth.

Despite low participation numbers and the region meet being held in Delta, the Emery Spartans did themselves proud with their effort last week. The Emery boys finished in second place and the Emery girls finished with two region champions and three second places as they finished in fourth place. The boys scored 76 points to sneak past Delta by three points and lost to Juan Diego by only 12 points. Carbon was fourth with 54 points and North Sanpete came in last with 42 points.
For the girls, North Sanpete took the championship with 98 points followed closely by Delta with 95 points. Juan Diego was third with 74 points, Emery had 51 points and Carbon was last with 13 points.
Emery only had 20 boys participating in the meet while the girls had even less than that. Juan Diego brought between three to four times as many participants as the Spartans and host Delta always brings what appears to be the whole school to region. The only problem with Delta is that they all do not always show up for the state meet.
"We have one of the smallest teams this season that we have ever had here at Emery," said Coach Darrell Gardner, "we took only 20 boys to the region meet compared to those that brought many times that amount. I am really proud of how well they responded."
For the girls, they will only be sending four girls to the state meet. Camille Fehlberg won the 200-meter dash and the 300 hurdles and took second in the long jump. Camille scratched on a jump that was more than a foot longer than any she had that counted. Jodi Robertson also had a very good day, as she took second in the 100-meter dash, third in the 200-meter dash and third in the long jump. Madison Jensen finished second in the high jump and Rebekah Bott finished fourth in the 3200 meter run.
Tyler Killpack had a good day as he won the 400-meter dash and finished a very close second in the 800-meter dash. Killpack was only .2 of a second out of first with a time of 2:05.69 versus 2:05.47 for the winner. Justin Bernard finished fifth in the 800 to give Emery some points.
Zach Clement gave Emery points as he won the javelin and the discus and finished fourth in the shot put. Zach won the javelin by over two feet with a throw of 160'09.5". Zach won the discus by more than five feet with a throw of 137'07.75". In the shot put, he finished behind three Juan Diego throwers with a toss of 45'01.5".
Emery did very well in the hurdles, as they stole the show in these two events. In the 110M hurdles, Levi Swasey took second and Kyle Holmes took third. In the 300M hurdles, McKay Allred finished first and Swasey finished third.
In the long jump, Kassidy Thompson finished third with a jump of 19'01", Cole Bunderson finished fourth with a jump of 18'05" and JT Noyes finished fifth with a jump of 18'03".
In the boy's relay races, Emery took fourth in the 400-meter relay and second in both the 1600-meter relay and the medley relay.
Coach Gardner was asked about the possibilities of his athletes at state, "Tyler can score points in both the 400 and 800 if he runs his best races. Zach has a good shot at winning the discus and placing very high in the javelin. With McKay and Levi, we have a good shot of scoring points in the 300 hurdles. With our limited team, I believe that we can do alright."
The state track meet will be held this Friday and Saturday at the BYU track facility. Events start each day at 7:30 a.m.

American Legal Realism
Brian Leiter
University of Chicago
U of Texas Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 42
This essay sets out the main elements of the revisionary and philosophical interpretation of the jurisprudence of American Legal Realism that I have developed in a series of articles over the last decade. This reading emphasizes the commitment of all the Realists to a core descriptive claim about adjudication (judges respond primarily to the underlying facts of the cases, rather than to legal rules and reasons); shows how the Realists divide in to two camps over the correct interpretation of this "core" claim (the Idiosncyrasy Wing of Frank, and the Sociological Wing of Llewellyn, Oliphant, Moore, Green, and the vast majority of Realists); demonstrates the connection of the Sociological Wing of Realism to the Realist project of law reform, including the work of the American Law Institute; examines and distinguishes the Realist arguments for the indeterminacy of law from Critical Legal Studies arguments; and shows how the Realists lay the foundation for the program of a "naturalized" jurisprudence, in opposition to the dominant "conceptual" jurisprudence of Anglophone legal philosophy. The revisionary reading also debunks certain popular myths about Legal Realism, like the following: the Realists believed "what the judge ate for breakfast determines the decision"; a critique of the public/private distinction was a central part of Realist jurisprudence; and the Realists were committed to an incoherent form of rule-skepticism.

Causes of Infertility
Age plays an important role in female and male fertility, particularly since many couples have delayed childbearing until their 30's and 40's. Aging has been associated with damaged DNA in the egg and/or sperm or with hormonal imbalances that may develop over time. Peak fertility in a woman occurs in her early 20's and declines substantially by age 35 and even more so after age 40. By the time a woman reaches menopause, few if any eggs may be available or functional. As a man ages, the number of sperm decreases along with sperm motility, thus reducing the chances of impregnation. Other age-related problems include decreased testosterone production and prostate, erectile, or ejaculation problems.
Although precise causes of infertility are sometimes unknown, there are certain problems common to those suffering from it. In female infertility, common factors include:
- Blocked fallopian tubes, such as due to sexually transmitted diseases
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can interfere with egg release
- Uterine fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Autoimmune disorders, which produce antibodies against fetal tissue
- Diabetes
- Hypothyroidism
- Eating disorders
- Excessive smoking
- Drug and alcohol use
- Obesity; low and increased body mass index (BMI) have been associated with infertility and morbidity during pregnancy
- Gluten intolerance (celiac disease)
A woman's fertility may also be affected by factors such as fluctuating or diminished hormone levels, inconsistent ovulation, or a poor reproductive environment that may interfere with sperm transport or fail to support proper fertilization or implantation of a fertilized egg.
A man's fertility can be affected by factors such as a low sperm count, poor sperm movement (motility), clumped or agglutinated sperm that are unable to swim to the egg, abnormally-shaped sperm, enlarged veins around the testes (varicoceles), obstructions that prevent sperm from being released during ejaculation, and genetic or congenital conditions that impair the reproductive environment. Primary male infertility is present when decreased serum levels of testosterone, LH, and FSH are present. One of the more common causes of male reproductive failure is erectile dysfunction, affecting 10 to 20 million American men. Other prohibitive causes include:
- A history of having mumps
- Testicular injury
