LOS ANGELES—The Board of Trustees of the J. Paul Getty Trust announced today that James N. Wood, an internationally recognized arts leader, has been named to serve as president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust. Mr. Wood, who served as director and president of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1980-2004, will take up his position in February after he relocates to Los Angeles from Rhode Island.
Prior to directing the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the leading encyclopedic art museums in the world, Mr. Wood was the director of The St. Louis Art Museum (1975-1980), an adjunct professor of art history at SUNY at Buffalo and associate director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY. He also held positions at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Currently, Mr. Wood sits on the boards of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, the Harvard University Art Museums, and the Museum of the Rhode Island School of Design. He is also president of the board of the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts.
Mr. Wood, 65, received his B.A. with honors in Art History from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. and his M.A. from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. He also studied at and holds a diploma from the University for Foreigners in Perugia, Italy. Mr. Wood's areas of specialization include European paintings and sculpture of the 16th to 20th centuries, American painting and sculpture of the 19th to 20th centuries, and photography, amongst others.
"We are very excited to welcome Jim Wood as the Getty Trust's new president and CEO. Jim is an outstanding leader who combines a deep scholarly knowledge and appreciation of the arts with extensive experience in leading a major arts institution," said Louise Bryson, chair of the Board of Trustees and head of the search committee. "The Getty's great strength in all aspects of the visual arts and education is grounding in the significant accomplishments and the talented staff of each of its programs. In Jim, we have found a leader who is eager to work with each of the four programs, and encourage continued collaboration among them, to further strengthen the Getty's position as one of the world's preeminent arts institutions. With his background at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he not only led two decades of growth in the collections, exhibits and staff, but also enhanced and fostered community relations and strengthened the educational mission, Jim is ideally suited to lead the Getty into the future."
The Board of Trustees selected Mr. Wood after an extensive search that began in May. He will assume leadership of the Getty Trust from Dr. Deborah Marrow, director of the Getty Foundation, who has served as interim president and CEO since February 2006.
"I am very pleased and proud to have been selected to head the J. Paul Getty Trust. The Getty offers a unique opportunity to apply my experience in helping to define the challenges facing one of our leading cultural institutions and to re-enforce its core mission and commitment to the visual arts. I look forward to working with and learning from the exceptional professional staff and Board of Trustees, determined to realize thoughtful change," said Mr. Wood.
He continued, "The cultural vitality of Los Angeles and the innovative leaders of its arts institutions are a strong attraction for my wife and me and a welcome incentive for the Getty to take an active civic role beyond its own walls."
In making the announcement, Louise Bryson added that she and the entire Board of Trustees are grateful to Deborah Marrow for serving as interim president and CEO during a very challenging time at the Getty. "Deborah stepped into the interim position at a difficult moment in the Getty's history. She has done a wonderful job of putting negative issues behind us, implementing a strong new approach to the way the Getty is governed, improving communications, and refocusing attention on the work of the Getty," said Ms. Bryson.
Dr. Marrow will resume her position as director of the Getty Foundation when Mr. Wood arrives in February.
"It has been an honor to serve as the Getty's interim president and CEO during the past year, and a privilege to lead such a talented staff. I am very proud of our accomplishments, both in terms of the extraordinary work of our four programs and the challenges we have faced. I am also extremely grateful to Joan Weinstein for serving as a superb interim director of the Getty Foundation during this period," said Deborah Marrow. "I am delighted by the appointment of such a distinguished arts leader as Jim Wood as our next CEO, and I welcome him and Emese to Los Angeles. I look forward to working with Jim and to assisting in any way that I can during the transition period."
Mr. Wood said he intends to immerse himself in gaining a full understanding of the accomplishments and potential of the four programs. "I want to make sure that the Getty's mission is fully articulated and that the Getty is achieving its full potential. My commitment is to ensure a collaborative environment in which we all work together to enhance that mission," said Mr. Wood.
The Board of Trustees Search Committee headed by Board Chair Louise Bryson, included Ramon Cortines, Joanne Kozberg, William Siart, Mark Siegel, Jay Wintrob, and former Trustees John Biggs and Agnes Gund. The Committee was assisted in conducting the search by the executive search firm Korn Ferry International.

Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, is getting a $6 million bonus on Friday, according to a new SEC filing the company made.
Let's just say this: He earned it.
Sure, Schmidt hardly needs the cash, thanks to his gigantic stake in Google, which is worth more than $6 billion after the stock's recent run-up. (He's planning to sell about 42 percent of those shares over the course of this year.)
But when he stepped down as CEO two years ago, Schmidt took a new position focusing on Google's relationships with governments around the world—including the United States.
Google recently settled an antitrust dispute with the Federal Trade Commission that could have seriously threatened its business. It got away with a surprisingly light agreement.
The company had a very good year, besides the resolution of the antitrust matter, and other bonuses reflected that.
Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, got the next biggest bonus at $3.3 million.
Google's CFO, Patrick Pichette, and sales chief, Nikesh Arora, got $2.8 million apiece.

Friends and Leaves
We had two neighbor kids over to play today. (Sisters - Maggie and Amelia)They wanted to play dress up and each took turns picking out a princess dress - Katelyn decided to be Supergirl instead of a princess. I then sent them outside with a Halloween bucket to pick some leaves for a fun craft. They had lots of fun finding different colors, sizes, and shapes of leaves. When the leaves were all gathered the kids glued them onto papers and chose a leaf to represent each member of their family. Maddie had both sets of grandparents on her paper. She sure does love them. Patrick requested pictures so I am doing up this post for him. It was a fun day but I am glad that I only have three kids to watch now !!

NBC Press Release -? UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. ? September 17, 2012 ? On the heels of its potent debut last week, NBC?s ?The Voice? welcomes music superstars Usher and Shakira to the family as two new celebrity musician coaches when it returns next spring for its fourth cycle. Christina Aguilera, who is releasing a new album and going on tour, and CeeLo Green, who is developing new music plus a scripted comedy series for NBC based on his life, will take the next cycle off, it was announced today by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment.
Current celebrity musician coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will remain through season four.
?We are thrilled to welcome Usher and Shakira to 'The Voice.' The addition of these popular iconic artists continues the tradition established by Christina, CeeLo, Adam and Blake,? said Greenblatt. ?Doing two back-to-back cycles of this show requires a tremendous amount of time, and we are happy to accommodate the commitments made by Christina and CeeLo. The participants on our show benefit from our coaches? expertise and their continued success in the music business allows for significant new contributions to the contestants when they return.?
??The Voice? has always been known for pairing incredible up-and-coming talent with superstar coaches who are top-level current artists," said executive producer Mark Burnett. "Having award-winning artists as coaches means they need to be able to tour. Whether in the red chair or on tour, our coaches have their chairs for life. This is exactly why, after three seasons, we needed to allow them to rotate out so they can get on the road amongst their fans. Meanwhile, we?re incredibly excited to have singular artists like Usher and Shakira joining the fold.?
?Being a coach on ?The Voice? is a wonderful experience and the relationship amongst us all is like an extended family,? said Aguilera. ?I am so proud of being part of the show from the beginning, all the work we've done, and proud of what the show stands for as a whole. As I have expressed since day one of the show, that I am a singer and performer first and I am so excited to get back to that love. Since this year NBC and ?The Voice? have decided to tape back-to-back seasons, requiring a full-year commitment, it is important for me to take season four off, allowing me to support my music that my fans have been waiting for — with the release of my new album ?Lotus? on November 13. By pursuing my first passion of music during the break, I am also able to come back and offer even more to my team on ?The Voice? in the future.?
"First …thank you NBC for supporting my decision to take this season four hiatus! It says that I'm seen and respected as a complete artist and not just a cast member. I'm highly enthusiastic about focusing my undivided attention on my additional endeavors and interests like my upcoming solo album, new Goodie Mob album, Las Vegas residency ?Loberace,? new memoir, and new NBC comedy,? said Green. ?It?s great to also give a host of other talent the chance to experience what a joy it is to be part of what is truly THE BEST SHOW of them all, THE VOICE! I will return for season five and will be watching season four. NBC is home and as far as Usher and Shakira are concerned ? ?mi casa su casa.??
Usher is a singer, songwriter, actor and dancer who soared to fame in the late 1990s with his second album ?My Way.? The album provided his first Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit ?Nice & Slow.? The album was certified six-times platinum by the RIAA. Usher?s next album, ?8701,? yielded the Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits ?U Remind Me? and ?U Got It Bad,? and has been certified four-times platinum by the RIAA. Usher's album ?Confessions? sold over 10 million copies in the United States in 2004, and has been certified diamond by the RIAA. It gave four consecutive Billboard #1 hits, including "Yeah!," "Burn," "Confessions Part II" and "My Boo." Usher's album ?Here I Stand? sold over five million copies worldwide in 2008, and its lead single "Love in This Club" climbed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2010, Usher released his sixth studio album ? ?Raymond v. Raymond,? which resulted in his third-consecutive album to open at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. It has been certified platinum and originated another Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in "OMG". As a result, the song became his ninth #1 single in the U.S., making him the first artist in the current decade to register #1 singles in three consecutive decades. Usher then issued an extended play and deluxe edition of ?Raymond v. Raymond? in ?Versus,? which debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album?s the lead single — "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" — reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In addition, the RIAA ranks Usher as one of the highest-selling artists in American music history with over 23 million copies sold in the United States alone. To date, he has sold over 65 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Usher has won numerous accolades, including seven Grammy Awards. At the end of 2009, Usher was named the number one Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade. Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s decade, with his 2004 album ?Confessions? ranked as the top solo album of the first decade of the 2000s. Billboard also placed Usher at #6 on their list of Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years.
Over the course of her career, Colombian singer-songwriter, producer and Grammy award winner Shakira has sold over 60 million records worldwide and has won numerous awards, including two Grammys, nine Latin Grammys, three American Music Awards and five Billboard Music Awards, to name a few. She is the only artist from South America to have a #1 song in the United States. She has had four of the 20 top-selling hits of the last decade — including 2006's unforgettable "Hips Don't Lie," the biggest-selling single of the 21st century, which reached the #1 spot in an astonishing 55 countries.
Shakira began writing songs at the age of 8, learned to speak English by studying the work of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Walt Whitman, and took history classes at UCLA during her break between albums. At the age of 18, she founded the Pies Descalzos (Barefoot) Foundation, which currently provides education and nutrition to over 6,000 impoverished children in Colombia and is expanding its work to other countries, including newly launched projects in Haiti and South Africa.
?Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),? along with its Spanish language version, "Waka Waka (Esto es ?frica)," was another worldwide sensation. It was the theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the event?s biggest song ever released. The official video has seen nearly 500 million YouTube hits, making it the #3 most watched video of all time. The track was also the soundtrack to Shakira's 1Goal campaign for universal education. On her ninth album, ?Sale El Sol/The Sun Comes Out,? the global superstar continued her creative journey by looking both forward and back. Released on the heels of the worldwide success of "Waka Waka," the album also marked the next chapter after 2009's critically acclaimed, dance-oriented ?She Wolf,? the long-awaited follow-up to 2005's groundbreaking one-two punch comprised of ?Fijacion Oral, Volume 1? and ?Oral Fixation, Volume 2? — a pair of albums which sold over 12 million copies combined worldwide and secured the young Colombian-born singer's place among pop-music royalty. Shakira is currently in the studio recording her new album.
"The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition show's third season. Celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton return along with Carson Daly as host and Christina Milian as Social Media Correspondent.
The show?s innovative format features four stages of competition: the first begins with the blind audition, then the battle round, the brand new knockouts and finally, the live performance shows.
During the blind auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the artists perform, but they don't get to see them — thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist?s voice, he/she pushes a button to select the artist for his/her team. At this point, the coach?s chair will swivel so that he/she can face the artist he/she has selected. If more than one coach pushes their button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition.
Once the teams are set, the battle is on. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success along with the help from their celebrity advisers. During the battle rounds the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience.
After the vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance to the next round of competition, while the losing artist is available to be stolen by another coach. Each coach has two steals during the battle rounds.
At the end of the battles, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the new knockout rounds. The artists will be paired again with a member of their team, but this time they find out only minutes before performing who they are being compared against. The artists each select their own song to perform individually, while their direct competitor watches and waits. They are vying for their coach?s confidence and decision to take them to the live shows. Their coach will choose the winner and the artist not selected will be sent home.
In the final live performance phase of the competition, the top artists from each team will compete each week against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save their favorite artists and the two artists with the lowest number of votes will be sent home each week. In the end, one will be named ?The Voice? and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.
?The Voice? is a presentation of Mark Burnett?s One Three Inc., Talpa Media USA Inc. and Warner Horizon Television. The series is created by John de Mol, who executive-produces along with Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Stijn Bakkers and Lee Metzger.

A security guard on a Valencia set where a television series was being filmed suffered fatal injuries Wednesday when struck by a van whose driver apparently lost consciousness, authorities said.
The accident occurred about 10:10 a.m. at 24800 Avenue Rockefeller, a vacant industrial building used for film and television productions, said sheriff's Sgt. Michael Konecny.
The website TMZ reported that an episode of the television series "NCIS" was being shot there at the time.
Local news from across Southern California
Konecny said the van had just dropped off passengers and was pulling into a parking lot when the driver blacked out due to an unspecified medical condition and the van accelerated, striking the guard.
The victim, who was not immediately identified, was pronounced dead at a hospital.


text: Glad I found this thread because I have a question. I hived a swarm a week ago tomorrow into a five frame nuc, it was a large swarm and almost to big but it was all I had to hand at the time. Brought it back to the house and fed them a 1:1 syrup and let them be until yesterday when I popped the top and checked for wax. No drawn comb on my foundationless frames. The frames have a wood starter strip top and bottom (3/4 stock poplar ripped down to fit the groove and glued in) and two crimped wires in the middle two holes, no wax as I don't have any. I think I should have at least rubbed a block of wax across the top strip now but hindsght is 20/20.The ladies were on the limb awhile before I got there (lots of white wax). I'm pretty confident I got the queen and they are as calm as they come but am baffled as to why they are being lazy. I also did a cut out and vacuumed another into a deep and two shallows (strip top and bottom no wire) Sunday and don't know what to expect there either, I did save half a shallow of brood comb so they do have their own comb there. Not sure on the queen on that one but they do have eggs and brood.Opinions?

The Securities and Exchange Commission gave chief executives a green light to disseminate news about their companies via Twitter, Facebook or blogs, but Tuesday's ruling embracing social media comes with a caveat.
In line with the existing Regulation Fair Disclosure, known as Reg FD, companies can reveal information on social media only if they notify shareholders ahead of time which social media accounts will be used to release material information. The point of the rule is to ensure that all investors have access to the same information at the same time, according to All Things D.
"One set of shareholders should not be able to get a jump on other shareholders just because the company is selectively disclosing important information," said George Cannellos, acting director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, in a statement. "Most social media are perfectly suitable methods for communicating with investors, but not if the access is restricted or if investors don't know that's where they need to turn to get the latest news."'
U.S. & World
The new policy comes after Netflix CEO Reed Hastings used his personal Facebook account last year to announce that Netflix had surpassed one billion hours of streaming for the first time.
Netflix's stock price jumped after the news was posted. The SEC then launched an investigation into whether the post violated SEC's fair disclosure rules because the news had not been shared with the investors through more traditional means of communication like a press release or SEC filing.
The SEC eventually dropped its investigation, noting that there has been "uncertainty" about how companies and their CEOs should use social media for disclosing information.
Tuesday's ruling clarifies the agency's position on social media, but it doesn't mean all companies will adopt that strategy to communicate with shareholders, according to Mashable.
"I think companies will be very cautious," David Balto, the former policy director for the Federal Trade Commission, told Mashable. The traditional methods that they relied on for years, I don't think you will see them vary a lot."
The one thing that did seem to change is the SEC's attitude toward social media. The regulator has been very cautious about corporate disclosure policies, according to The New York Times' DealB%k. Back in 2008, as part of Reg FD, the SEC decided that corporate Web sites are public enough if investors were already informed that those pages could be sources for company news. The Netflix incident forced the SEC to further relax its position.
"The S.E.C. had to ask itself, How do we adopt a 2000 regulation to 2013 when social media is commonplace?" Thomas A. Sporkin, a former S.E.C. enforcement official told DealB%k, referring to Reg FD. "That obviously wasn't even a thought back when this was written."
With Tuesday's ruling the SEC seems to have acknowledged that social networks like Facebook and Twitter have massive reach – exceeding 1.2 billion people on a monthly basis—and could prove more effective at keeping shareholders informed than the more traditional email blasts, newswire releases, or even SEC filings, according to All Things D.

If you're into Open Source software (doesn't matter if you're new to it or an old hand), you'd do well to check out the book Henri Bergius has posted about - that he also contributed to - "Open Advice - FOSS: What We Wish We Had Known When We Started".
As quoted from the LWN review of the book:
Open Advice is a book that will be helpful to those who are new to FOSS, but, because of the individual voices, styles, and tones, it doesn't read like a "how to". It could even be recommended to those who aren't necessarily interested in contributing, but are curious about what this "free software thing" is all about.
It contains real experience from real developers that work on FOSS projects with chapters titled:
- "Code First"
- "University and Community"
- "Love the Unknown"
- "Quality Assurance"
- "Good Manners Matter"
- "Stop Worrying and Love the Crowd"
The book is licensed under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-SA) and can be downloaded in multiple formats - ePub, mobi, PDF and paperback, if you prefer that.

On Free Day.
It's a win-win situation, since by opening up the garage sale leavings free to the public, they don't have to haul it and get rid of it, and me and all the senior citizens, junk dealers, and miscellaneous poor people can get ourselves some free stuff. Among my haul:
bags and bags of ribbons, cording, and lace
big crocheted squares--plate rests?
some really terrific vintage sheet music, which I became fond of while working with the Starr Sheet Music Collection at the Lilly Library:
some really terrific vintage sheet music, which I became fond of while working with the Starr Sheet Music Collection at the Lilly Library:
vintage bubble lights!
The girls, once again, had their little metal shopping cart with them, into which Willow cleaned out the Christmas and Halloween sections of the garage sale as good as any of the senior citizens. Sydney once again didn't stand a chance against all the little old ladies in the doll section, but she did steal a man's hat, and we all got to witness an elderly History Center volunteer completely lose her mind in frustration that people would not avoid going down one entire aisle just because a little pile of broken glass had been swept up there (among the amusing responses to her tirade--"Um, I'm wearing shoes," "I'm pretty sure I can step over six inches of glass," and "Lady, you're standing between me and my three-year-old. Move!". Guess which one came from yours truly?).
Now all we have to look forward to is the free day of the Red Cross Book Sale in October.

Allen Lee Davis
[Ed's Note: On Jan. 14, 2000, following the barrage of controversy created by the execution photos posted by Justice Shaw, Florida barred any further executions by electrocution, opting for lethal injection. On Dec. 16, 2006, then Gov. Jeb Bush suspended all executions in Florida after it took two doses and 34 minutes for Angel Diaz to die by lethal injection.]
by J.J. Maloney
The execution of Allen Lee Davis in the Florida electric chair on July 8, 1999, was so violent that it set off a shock wave that rippled around the world. When the Florida Supreme Court ruled, yet again, that execution by electrocution is not unconstitutional, a dissenting justice attached three photographs of the execution to his dissent and posted them on the Florida Supreme Court web site.
The photographs drew attention from all over the world, with many foreign visitors expressing disgust, while many Floridians rallied in support of "Old Sparky," as the Florida electric chair is known. One Florida woman, in an email to the court, described the photographs as "wonderful."
Each person can view the photographs, and read the following lengthy excerpt from the dissent of Justice Shaw and come to his or her own conclusion as to the propriety of capital punishment, and electrocution in particular. As Justice Shaw points out, the United States is the only country in the world that uses electrocution as a means of execution, and even in the United States only three states still use this method of execution.
Justice Shaw describes in detail three recent executions, including that of Davis, wherein the execution went awry. He points out that Davis not only died from electrocution, but from being smothered by the large leather strap that held his head to the electric chair. Witnesses described Davis as either screaming or moaning prior to the current being turned on.
Davis had been convicted for murdering a woman and her two daughters. That his crimes were heinous and totally reprehensible is not in dispute. What is controversial is how Davis was executed. His death was tortured and violent. His execution was so bungled that his cause of death was at least partially due to asphyxiation. In killing Davis in such an intentionally inept manner, the State of Florida sank to a gruesome level of barbarity. For those who don't care that Florida violated Davis' civil rights, and for those, in fact, who applaud the cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on Davis, I can only say that in trashing his rights Florida trashed everyone's rights. Does anyone really want the government in charge of torture as well as incarceration and execution? A government with such power would be known as a police state.
The following is an excerpt from Justice Shaw's dissenting opinion.
"The administration of electrocution in Florida demonstrates the cruelty inherent in this method of execution. Not only was every execution in Florida accompanied by the inevitable convulsing and burning that characterizes electrocution, but further, three executions in particular were marred by extraordinary violence and mutilation. In two of these executions, smoke and flames spurted from the headpiece and burned the heads and faces of the inmates. In the third execution, the inmate bled from the nostrils and was at least partially asphyxiated by the restraining devices; and he too was burned.
"A. Tafero's Execution
"Florida's electric chair malfunctioned during the execution of Jesse Tafero on May 4, 1990, resulting in a violent scene, with smoke and foot-long flames spurting from his head. This Court described the scene:
"'When Tafero's execution began, smoke and flames instantaneously spurted from his head for a distance of as much as 12 inches. The flames and smoke emanated from the area around a metallic skull cap, inside of which was a saline-soaked synthetic sponge meant to increase the flow of electricity to the head. The cap is the source of electricity administered to condemned prisoners by the electric chair.
Because of the smoke and flames, officials of the Department of Corrections stopped the first surge of electricity. A second jolt again resulted in smoke and flames spurting from Tafero's head. Finally, a third jolt of electricity was administered. A medical examiner found that Tafero was dead some six or seven minutes after the execution commenced.
"'Thereafter, the Governor ordered the Department of Corrections to conduct an investigation into the circumstances of Tafero's execution. The Department reported that the equipment was in proper working order. However, it was determined that for the first time a synthetic, rather than a natural, sponge had been used in the headpiece. The Department concluded that the burning of the sponge caused the flames and smoke which were seen during Tafero's execution . . .. The Department . . . noted that most executions last longer than seven minutes.'
"Buenoano v. State, 565 So.2d 309, 310-11 (Fla.1990).
"The mutilated condition of Tafero's body was described in the sworn statement of a witness:
"'I have seen the bodies of three other inmates executed by officials of the Florida State Prison. I saw them at approximately the same length of time after they were executed as I saw Mr. Tafero's body. None of the other bodies I saw before had the severe burning and scorching and damage to the head as did Mr. Tafero's. None had any marks on the face at all.
"'The entire top of Mr. Tafero's head is covered with wounds. There is one dominant charred area and a myriad of smaller gouged, raw areas to the upper right side and lower right of the large burned area.
The dominant charred area is on the top left side of the head. It is larger than my hand . . .. The funeral director said that this was a third degree burn. The rest of that area was a dark brownish color, slightly lighter than the charred area. The funeral director said that this would be a second-degree burn.
"Id. at 314 (Kogan, J., dissenting). Additionally, Tafero's eyebrows, eyelashes, and facial hair were burned when flames licked his face.
"See Jones, 701 So. 2d at 87 (Shaw, J., dissenting).
"B. Medina's Execution
"Florida's electric chair malfunctioned again during the execution of Pedro Medina on March 25, 1997, resulting in another violent scene with smoke and flames spurting from the head-piece. Unlike Tafero, Medina's eyebrows, eyelashes, and facial hair were not burned off. However, Medina's head was charred and his face was scalded. The trial court in Jones described the execution:
"When Pedro Medina was executed on March 25, 1997, the following events occurred. When the electrical current was activated, within seconds . . . smoke emanated from under the right side of Medina's head piece, followed by a 4 to 5 inch yellow-orange flame which lasted 4 to 5 seconds and then disappeared. After the flame went out, more smoke emanated from under the head piece to the extent that the death chamber was filled with smoke--but the smoke was not dense enough to impair visibility in or through the chamber. The smoke continued until the electrical current was shut off in the middle of the third cycle. Although several witnesses to the execution tried to describe the odor of the smoke, only one witness, Florida State Prison Superintendent Ronald McAndrews, described the odor as burnt sponge . . .. This Court finds that the odor smelled was burnt sponge, not burnt flesh.
"The physician's assistant, William Mathews, examined Medina's body. At that time, Medina was not breathing or exchanging air through his nostrils; his pupils were fixed and dilated; and he had an agonal pulse and heart sounds. When the physician's assistant was no longer able to detect any pulse or heart sounds, the attending physician, Dr. Almojera, examined Medina and pronounced him dead at 7:10 a.m. During Dr. Almojera's last examination Medina's chest was seen to move two or three times in a two to four minute period. A couple of witnesses thought Medina was trying to breathe. Several witnesses did not describe it as attempted breathing, but as a lurching, spasmodic movement, a shudder, and outward not upward movement. No witness, particularly those closest to Medina, could state that he was in fact breathing or attempting to breathe.
"Jones, 701 So. 2d at 86 (Shaw, J., dissenting).
"As with Tafero's body, Medina's body also was mutilated by the electrocution. The findings of the pathologists who conducted the autopsy of Medina were summarized by the trial court in Jones:
"1. The head had a 'burn ring' on the crown of the head that was common in executions by judicial electrocution.
"2. Within the 'burn ring' there was a third degree burn on the crown of the head, with deposits of charred material. . .
"3. There was a first degree burn of the upper front face and head, caused by scalding steam. . .Unlike the Tafero execution, Medina had no burning of the eyebrows, eyelashes, or small hairs of the face that would have resulted if the burning had been the result of a flame rather than steam.
"Jones, 701 So. 2d at 86-87 (Shaw, J., dissenting).
"C. Davis' Execution
"The execution of Allen Lee Davis on July 8, 1999, differed from prior executions in that here Department of Corrections (DOC) officials took post-execution color photos of Davis before he was removed from the electric chair. (Several of the photos are appended to this dissenting opinion.) These photos, when combined with eyewitness accounts, provide a vivid picture of a violent scene. According to witnesses' accounts, when Davis was being strapped into the chair, guards placed a solid leather mouth-strap across his mouth and nose area. This mouth-strap is wide--approximately five inches from top to bottom--and it covered the entire lower portion of Davis's face from the bottom of his chin to immediately below his nose. The strap was fastened so tightly against his face and was so wide that it pushed his nose severely upward, blocking his nostrils at least partially. A heavy fabric facemask was placed on top of this apparatus, further occluding his airway. And then, as explained below, blood began flowing from his nose prior to electrocution. This too obstructed his nostrils.
"The trial court below explained that the pathologist who conducted a post-execution autopsy on Davis concluded that he had been at least partially asphyxiated prior to electrocution: Robert Kirschner, M.D., forensic pathologist from Illinois, testified as an expert in the area of forensic pathology. Kirschner testified that he performed an autopsy on the body of Allen Lee Davis. He testified that during Davis's autopsy, he was unable to identify the precise source of the nosebleed that Davis suffered, but that it was coming from the septal area of the left nostril. Kirschner testified that the placement of the mouth strap across Davis' mouth inhibited Davis' breathing and caused him to become at least partially asphyxiated before the application of electrical current to him. Kirschner testified that he is of the opinion that Davis' death was caused by electrocution and association of partial asphyxiation which occurred before the electrocution.
"Aubrey D. Thornton, Assistant Warden at Florida State Prison, testified that he was one of the individuals responsible for strapping Allen Lee Davis into the electric chair. . . Thornton also testified that Davis' face began to turn red after the mouth strap was applied to him." (Emphasis added.)
"After Davis' airflow had been blocked by the mouth-strap, the face-mask, and his own blood, Davis made several sounds under the face-mask which were described variously as muffled screams, moans, or yells, as if he were attempting to get the guards' attention. The trial court gave the following description: 'John W. Moser, Capital Collateral Regional Counsel for the Middle Region, testified that in his capacity as Capital Collateral Regional Counsel, he witnessed the execution of Allen Lee Davis. Moser testified that between the time Davis was secured in the electric-chair and the time the electrical current was applied to Davis, he heard what sounded like two screams from Davis.'
"Mark Lazarus, Victim Assistance Administrator for the Florida Department of Corrections, testified that he observed the execution of Allen Lee Davis. Lazarus testified that after the head piece was placed on Davis' head, he heard two one-syllable sounds coming from Davis and that the sounds sounded like Davis was trying to 'make some noise' or 'yell out.'
"Thomas Varnes, Warden at Wakulla Correctional Institution, testified that he witnessed the execution of Allen Lee Davis. Varnes testified that after the mouth strap and chin strap of the head piece were tightened and the face mask was lowered, he heard Davis moan like he was trying to say something.
"James Crosby, Warden of Florida State Prison testified that after the mouth piece was placed on Davis, and just before the execution, he heard two muffled sounds from Davis, which sounded like Davis was trying to say something. (Emphasis added.)
"Prior to and during the electrocution, blood flowed freely from Davis' nose, ran over the mouth-strap, and spilled onto his chest, forming a pool the size of a dinner plate on his white shirt. Again, in the words of the trial court below:
"'Sheila McAllister, Correctional Probation Officer at Wakulla Correctional Institution, testified that she witnessed the execution of Allen Lee Davis . . . McAllister also testified that while the current was on she observed blood on Davis' chest, and she observed something dripping from behind Davis' mask.'
"Michael R. Collins, employed with Florida State Prison as a nurse, testified that he attended the execution of Allen Lee Davis . . .. Collins further testified that after the electrical current was stopped and after Mr. Matthews, the Florida State Prison physician's assistant, was examining Davis, he observed blood on Davis' shirt in his chest area and on his upper right side, by his collar. Collins stated that the blood was dripping from under the mask.
"William Muse, Lieutenant with the Florida Department of Corrections, assigned to Florida State Prison, testified that he witnessed the execution of Allen Lee Davis . . .. Muse testified that after the cycle of current had been terminated, he observed blood on Davis' shirt, blood on the strap, and blood coming from Davis' nostril [s]. (Emphasis added.)
"In light of the placement of the mouth-strap, the positioning of the face-mask, and the flow of blood from his nostrils, it is reasonable to conclude – as did Dr. Kirschner – that Davis was being smothered before he was electrocuted.
"And finally, as with Tafero and Medina, Davis' body was mutilated by burns on the head, face, and leg, as noted in the trial court's order:
"The deposition of William Hamilton, M.D., Medical Examiner for the Eighth Judicial Circuit, was read into the record due to Hamilton's unavailability . . .. Hamilton testified that Davis had burns on his scalp and forehead, on his superpubic and right upper medial thigh region, and behind the right knee. (Emphasis added.)
"The color photos taken by DOC show a ghastly post-execution scene: Davis is wearing a white shirt and dark pants and is restrained in the wooden chair by thick leather straps placed across his arms, legs, torso, and mouth; the electrical head-piece is attached to the top of his head with a leather strap that runs under his chin; a sponge placed under the head-piece obscures the entire top portion of his head down to his eyebrows; because of the width of the mouth-strap, only a small portion of Davis' face is visible above the mouth-strap and below the sponge, and that portion is bright purple and scrunched tightly upwards; his eyes are clenched shut and his nose is pushed so severely upward that it is barely visible above the mouth-strap; although the exterior openings of Davis' nostrils are partially visible, it appears as though the interior openings may be covered by the mouth-strap; a stream of blood pours from his nostrils, flows over the wide leather mouth-strap, runs down his neck and chest, and forms a bright red pool (approximately eight by twelve inches) on his white shirt. The scene is unquestionably violent."

Rob, OzGeorge, etc. please forgive the reluctance to venture out into other parts of the forum. Over on CAF we were basically only reading and responding to threads in that one subforum called Eastern Christianity. It had a quality which will be missed and formed a habit which is not easily broken.

Like some exotic insects in a glass exhibit, until they decided you were pests and called in the exterminators......How poetic is that?
Normally, I'd respond to this, but would it get me banned if I disagreed with your analogy?
Though if you catch ozgeorge in a bad mood be prepared for a good fight,
So stay on the good side of the omnipotent and omniscient FrChris, and you're okay (lol - I couldn't type that and keep a straight face).
You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?
You know, I can't help but get the feeling that the moderators on this board are a tad less inclined to stick firmly by the rules, but at the same time, have the great ability to act on emotions.
As a Catholic, I am in every way a guest on these forums,
No, read my post again, I'm talking about you. Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop on other's conversations? Especially when they're talking about you behind your back.
No one has the right in the Public Forums to use foul language, ad hominems, insult another, post pornography, solicit people looking for a future spouse, link to another message forum, or advertise products.
As a Catholic, I am in every way a guest on these forums, so I am only exploring the limits of our 'freedom'. The question was serious (sort of).
Now that we have the English practice forum going, my next idea was a find a Russian bride forum. I take it this probably won't fly...
The forum would hold two OC.net records: least posts and most views.
Father, I love the Icon of St. Patrick you're using on here... do you have any idea if it's possible to get a reproduction of it?
It's nice to see you here Father Ambrose (Irish Hermit). This is ForeverAdam.
I just broke my rule and posted on the ECath forum.The thread was on the "Statement of joint catholic-orthodox commission."I asked, out of consistency, why wasn't it on the non-Catholic forum? I also came across something else interesting:
Do I have that right, George?
I really liked it over there. Michael
For those wanting to recover & save their postings on CAF using Google, I thought I'd give an example of what to type into the Google search box... for instance: site:forums.catholic.com fr ambroseDoing this brings up 5,550 hits (one can of course narrow the search by typing in additional terms). Once you find whatever it is you're wanting to save, click on "cached" and once the cached page comes up, save it (I prefer saving such pages as single file *.mht pages). Hope this helps those seeking to recover some of the more recent gems from CAF before they vanish completely.
Oh no! Fr. Ambrose is here! I better get posting if I want to have more posts than him!
I see you are heading me off at the moment with 0.146 posts per day. I have only 0.121
It's mainly because I signed up for this forum at the beginning of this year and forgot I did...
It might be a good idea then if you (and other "CAF Refugees") visit this post by Fr. Chris: Suggestions from the New Members, and especially former CAF folks! Your responses there will help us to understand how to help serve you and look to the future of OCnet.
I really liked it over there. But now I am gone, too bad so sad....the Orthodox participants were very good for the most part, and the amateur Rc apologists were unequipped to handle strong defenses from the perspective of Holy Orthodoxy. They basically train themselves to answer protestant objections, so they are not ready to handle real Catholics who disagree with them over the Papacy and certain other doctrinal points. Often they would create straw men by portraying Orthodox as another form of protestant.Because the Orthodox were usually too savvy, the Rc apologists had a very difficult time dismissing the Orthodox through character assasination or other means, so they had to rely on facts. Rc sources of information are inadequate, actually, and they were often caught off guard by Orthodox interpretations of events and translations of Patristic quotes (to name just two examples). Reliance on sources like the old Catholic Encyclopedia puts most Rc apologists at a significant disadvantage, we would tell them this all the time but as each new crop of gung ho apologists would come in they would have referred back to the same outdated erroneous materials. Even Catholic Answers own materials were often deficient, with errors that should embarass them, but they did not do regular updates or corrections, apparentlyI believe the archives (or some of them) are still available for viewing temporarily. Should make interesting reading for anyone so inclined.I would suggest anyone of a mind to, going over there just to read the archives and copy posts of interest for your files, while they are still available.Michael
Michael, I am saddened at your polemical argument over here. Many of us Roman Catholics neither fashioned ourselves as apologists, nor are we inept, as you seem to be asserting.
I am very saddened to read such bashing of Catholics over here.
though I've also noticed elsewhere there is a discussion thread to drop the Traditional Catholic SubForum...
Do I need to type out the third and first letters of that forum being discussed ?
Michael, I am saddened at your polemical argument over here. Many of us Roman Catholics neither fashioned ourselves as apologists, nor are we inept, as you seem to be asserting. I am very saddened to read such bashing of Catholics over here.
Personally, I just want to know the truth about it. Not that the entire primacy of the Bishop of Rome hangs on this single reference, but it would be nice to know the truth either way.

Brenda Dickson, Daytime Television's ultimate villain as "Jill Abbot" from the glory days of The Young & The Restless, finally reveals the hidden story on what really happened to her. Her book takes you through her life in Hollywood from age 17 until the present. It includes her discovery as Miss California as well as her home life with her parents as a young girl. It covers her more than one decade of starring in one of the highest rated daytime television shows of all time and what effect it had on her life including the love affairs with some of the most powerful men in Hollywood. "This story is funny, sexy, hot, and full of drama", states Brenda Dickson who wrote the book herself as it happened.
The book has over 70 fabulous and stunning color photographs taken by top Hollywood photographers (including Harry Langdon) throughout her whole career; including photos of her best-selling collectable posters. There are many photos of the people she worked with prior and during The Young and the Restless, as well as recent photos of how she looks today.
Brenda Dickson tells all in this book written from the soul and from the depths of despair to the highest career awards including the People's Choice Award.
Revealed for the first time, she tells about what she believed to be her blacklisting in Hollywood by Producer William J. Bell (the breach of contract and illegal firing), and the $11 million fixed trial. (How all her trials were tampered with or fixed.)
It tells how Mafia cartel judges and attorneys were enlisted to launder $15.5 million, her half share of two divorce settlements through two courts, and how they ruined her multi-million dollar career and left her homeless . . . TWICE!
She writes about how her popularity became larger than the whole show forcing the producers to keep her out of Hollywood because she brought in more ratings than the entire show!
The book reveals the behind-the-scenes games the producers created on the set of The Young and the Restless. The set was subjected to Bill Bell (as producer) keeping an older actress who came to work drunk, had black- outs, and burst into manic fits of rage- for REAL. This actor needed professional help. Bell's storylines about an alcoholic who was struggling with an addiction were derived from her real life! So real!!! The problem was . . . it wasn't acting and it wasn't good writing, and as a result, the ratings dropped lower and lower.
It tells of power, greed, and the tactics used to get ownership of the show.
She writes about how harassment tactics were used to drive talented actors out of their roles to make room for Nepotism City. It addresses the sexual harassment and the cunning way Bill Bell got hold of her at a young age.
Brenda Dickson's reveals that her Internet film, Welcome to My Home, which she directed, wrote, and produced, was taken off the Internet in an illegal copyright claim by Sony Pictures (the Bells) in 2009. In a short period of time, it garnered 3 million viewers, and had they not taken it down, would have had more viewers than the entire show and they knew it!
This book covers Brenda Dickson's love life and relationships with . . . Mike Nader, (Dex Dexter on Dynasty) and Dimitri Marick on (All My Children); Richard Thomas (while filming The Waltons); Ernest Thompson ( dated Brenda when he was writing the play that became the Academy Award-winning film On Golden Pond ); the famous upscale clothing retailer Fred Segal, now a publicly traded company; and Congressman Barry Goldwater, Jr., her first real love. The book describes her two ex-husbands, who were directly connected to Bill Bell, and how they helped to keep her out of Hollywood, an unfortunate circumstance that continues even to this day.
Brenda Dickson enjoyed the admiration of millions of fans as a true award winning Daytime Televison star. Many of these fans have remained close to her and follow her on her web sites and have long awaited an official story of her life and times. My True Hidden Hollywood Story is a book for all readers not just Daytime TV fans. It's a story of what really happened to a beloved TV star who became victim to the greed and power of corporate Hollywood .
" The Bill Bell Hype Train is about to crash and the truth is about to come out! Fasten your seatbelts, as you ride with me on the "Bell Family Roller Coaster." Brenda Dickson
My True Hidden Hollywood Story by Brenda Dickson (Blue Boulevard Publishing) is now available on Kindle and Nook e-versions. The hard cover print version is coming out in May and can now be pre-ordered on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and at www.brendadickson.com

Last week we reported that Renee Graziano's son AJ Pagan was arrested after being involved in a Staten Island street brawl. A witness claimed the seventeen-year-old was actually trying to break up the fight, which included several girls, and was not responsible for the incident. The fight eventually broke apart and police were not called to the scene.
TMZ just released a video of the incident which shows AJ rushing over and pulling one of the girls away from the brawl; he can be heard yelling "Stop!" The video is below. The content is grainy and hard to see, but TMZ identifies AJ.
AJ's rep maintains he had no involvement in the incident and the teen was driving around Staten Island with his girlfriend when they noticed the girls fighting. AJ stopped to try and diffuse the situation. Afterwards, AJ heard no further news about the incident until this past Wednesday when police arrived at his home to arrest him for allegedly hitting one of the girls in the altercation!
AJ's rep insists he did not hit anyone and the video clearly demonstrates this. AJ's rep also insists the girl is trying to exploit AJ because of his connection with Mob Wives! "Beyond engaging in violent behavior, it speaks very poorly of this girl's character that she would blatantly lie in an attempt to defame AJ's name. The truth will come out and we feel justice will be served."

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has had a long, hard rock n' roll life, but one thing he's always been passionate about is helping abused girls to live safely and receive therapy!
So he just opened a new home for abused girls in the Memphis area called "Janie's House," a name inspired by the hit "Janie's Got A Gun." He donated a half million dollars to make the project happen. There is also one in Atlanta.

Today in WTHHT we go back to the 1970s to remember Glenn McDonald. Glenn was drafted by the Celtics in the first round of the 1974 draft (pick 17) out of Long Beach State. However his career would be remembered for 2 minutes in the 3rd overtime of the classic 1976 Finals Game 5 Triple Overtime contest against the Suns. When starting power forward Paul Silas became the fourth Celtics player to foul out with two minutes to go in the 3rd overtime, head coach Tommy Heinsohn had 2 options: the more experienced Steve Kuberski or the second year McDonald. Tommy picked Mac.
I wanted fresh legs out there. Both teams were exhausted. Glenn was the fastest guy I had. All I told him was, "Mac, run 'em every chance you get." Kuberski was a better rebounder than Glenn but, in that situation, I wanted someone who could outrun the opposition.
Tommy's gut was right. McDonald entered the game only 5-23 from the field in the playoffs but that would all be forgotten and he'd cement his place in Boston Celtics' fame. With 1:35 left, he put in a layup to give the Celtics a 120-118 lead. On their next trip, Hondo set him up for a 10 foot fadeaway which he knocked down, putting the C's up 4. Before it was over McDonald sunk two clutch free throws to clinch the 128-126 victory, which would lead to the Celtics' 13th title.
After the season the Celtics were going in a different direction and waived Glenn. He'd sign on with the Bucks for 9 games the next year and then have a tryout in the Phoenix camp the following season. But he was looking for job security, where he found over in Europe. He'd sign with the club Alvik which was based in Sweden, who he'd help lead to the Swedish championship. Enjoying the opportunity to travel across Europe with his wife, it inspired him to continue his career, in the Philippines Basketball Association, where he'd play the next 8 seasons until retiring in 1987. He'd play for the U/Tex Wranglers in the PBA and helped them win a title in 1978.
Don't underestimate the significance of Glenn McDonald's moment with the Celtics. It'd be somewhat comparable to Von Wafer knocking down big shot after big shot in an NBA Finals game to seal the win which would lead to a championship this season. He'd forever hold a place in Celtics fans' hearts (sort of like James Posey will always for me). It's an incredible story.
Today Glenn has returned to his alma mater is the head of Intramurals at Long Beach State, and has been since 1996. In 2001 and 2002 he was the assistant coach for the LA Sparks under Michael Cooper. If you visit their old website you can see Cooper has a picture, but McDonald doesn't. Personally I prefer this video with Xavier McDaniel when he upends Michael Cooper.
Glenn's son Michael McDonald played basketball at Stanford, along with Jason and Jarron Collins and his daughter Alexis played volleyball at the University of Washington.
***Special thanks to Celticslife follower Sarah who was able to share these recent pictures to the left of Glenn! She works for Glenn (presumably at Long Beach State) and notified us that he also scouts for the Utah Jazz.

Muni Wi-Fi Aims to Close Digital Divide
Page 1 of 1
Private enterprise broadband providers ignoring the growing digital divide should expect competition from local municipalities. That's the role of local governments, says one of the nation's leading proponents of municipal Wi-Fi.
As Philadelphia's chief information officer, Dianah Neff knows all about the contentious debate going on between cities wanting to offer broadband as just an utility among companies that don't think government should be in the business of competing against private enterprise.
Convinced that local private providers were not deploying broadband services fast enough to poor or underserved areas of Philadelphia, Neff is leading a municipal effort to provide wireless broadband to the entire city.
Funded by taxpayers, the city plans to build out the network and sell wholesale access to Internet service providers and telecom firms.
"The digital divide is local. Spurring economic development is a local issue," Neff told a U.S. Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Washington earlier this week. "We believe that there is space in this marketplace. We're about open competition. We're not about exclusivity. We're not about setting special rules for anybody."
Neff said Philadelphia is planning a wide-ranging program beyond just providing broadband, including making the service available in light industrial areas in order to attract new businesses into the neighborhoods.
Philadelphia's decision set off a firestorm of debate that is still raging in state legislatures. Now, it's spread to Congress. In December, Pennsylvania lawmakers granted Philadelphia an exemption but otherwise passed legislation restricting municipal-backed broadband services.
On Capitol Hill, bills both banning and promoting municipal broadband services have been introduced in just the last month.
Neff said 58 percent of Philadelphia's population has access to the Internet. In its more affluent neighborhoods, the number is more than 90 percent. In low income and minority neighborhoods, through, the numbers tumble to as low as 10 percent.
"We cannot afford to lose those neighborhoods," Neff said. "We want to ensure that our families and children have the abilities they need to compete in the 21st Century."
Former Legg Mason telecom analyst Michael Balhoff, however, told the luncheon crowd that municipal broadband is simply bad public policy.
"It's a waste of the assets of municipalities to dedicate resources to [compete] with the private sector," he said. "The fundamental problem I have is the risk that is inherent when the municipality can, through the direct use of its rights of way and its other assets, undercut private investment."
In his view, Wi-Fi in particular is a bad bet for cities.
"It doesn't have the capacity to ultimately serve businesses," said Balhoff, now a partner at Balhoff and Rowe. When he was at Legg Mason, Balhoff said security issues ruled out wireless.
"There's no way a business like ours is willing to put its business assets at risk in wireless environment," he said.
Northwestern University law professor James Speta added that the immature wireless marketplace is risky business for local governments. Unlike established utilities like electricity and water, Speta said when it comes to wireless broadband, "We still don't know what's in the future."
Speta suggested cities wanting to close the digital divide would be better off providing vouchers for broadband Internet access.

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews brought the Stanley Cup home to Canada and was greeted by hundreds of fans upon his arrival.
Toews showed off the famous trophy on Friday during a public celebration, and then spent private time with his family.
Hundreds of people lined up for several hours in blazing heat to meet Toews — and admire the Cup — at a community center named after the NHL star.
The crowd screamed and cheered as Toews gingerly carried the Stanley Cup past the crowd. He hoisted it above his head on an outdoor stage and kissed it.
"It's always a pretty special feeling to see the support that I'm lucky to get when I come back to Winnipeg," Toews said. "Obviously, this is an honor to bring this Cup back to my home community center."
The Blackhawks claimed their second championship in four seasons by beating the Boston Bruins in the finals last month. Toews scored a goal in the clinching Game 6 victory.
Although only 25, Toews has now enjoyed two celebrations back home in Winnipeg, which held a parade in his honor in 2010.
"It was a crazy two days. I don't think I had a spare minute to breathe," he said. "There are a lot of people ... that you have to recognize and share this moment with. Those are the people who helped me get there in the first place."
Toews is already thinking about bringing the Cup back a third time.
"Every time you win, you want to do it again," he said. "It's really an addictive feeling."

Trouble in Skyrim
To start, the cave you need to enter is north east of Whiterun, and called Shimmermist Cave. It's a pretty straight forward cave, without any puzzles. It's fillled with a few spiders, but mostly you are faced with Falmer's. You work your way through the Cave, killing maybe 5-7 Falmer, until you get to a large golden door. behind this door is the boss fight. You start off fighting a named Thalmer for about 3 seconds, before a large dwarven Centurion breaks through the back wall. If you're having trouble taking both of these guys on at once, I suggest running into the cave quickly, and aggroing the Falmer, then quickly running back to the hallway you came from. If you time it right, the Centurion will not aggro, and you can fight them both seperately.

The Pepperdine College Freedom Forum was an annual, three-day seminar designed to promote American values as a defense against communism, held in Los Angeles between 1959 and 1971. The model for the Freedom Forum grew out of the National Education Program developed by George S. Benson, President of Harding College. At Pepperdine, President M. Norvel Young carried the idea forward, where it was sometimes referred to as the California Freedom Forum. The Freedom Forum was part of a larger constellation of anti-communist activities at Pepperdine College, which included a weekly Speaker's Bureau, an anti-communist film series, and various citizen education and teacher training programs.
Billed as a "seminar to prepare leadership for American resistance to the spread of Communism and Socialism," the inaugural Freedom Forum in 1959 featured talks such as "Communism's Invisible Weapon—Brainwashing" and "What Socialism Has Delivered in Europe." The featured speaker that first year was Senator John L. McClellan, who delivered the keynote "Can American Freedom Survive?" before a packed house of 800 California business leaders in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel.
Pepperdine University Libraries is pleased to announce that hundreds of program booklets, typed speeches, photographs, newspaper clippings, and interviews from all thirteen years of the Freedom Forum are now available to researchers and the interested public through the Pepperdine College Freedom Forum digital collection. This collection is a digitized subset of the Pepperdine College Freedom Forum Records available for research in our Special Collections and University Archives located in Payson Library on the Malibu campus.


text: To find out if dogs are really homing snackycakes for bloodthirsty sharks, or if poking them in the eye with a pokey thing is actually a good idea, you could ask a dude in a lab coat, or like, watch Jaws. Unless you're the Mythbusters-then you build a robot dog, surround it with doggy blood, piss and shit and dump it in shark-infested waters. And a 16-foot ROBOT SHARK. With serrated metal teeth and the same pound-for-bone-crunching-pound bite as a great white. But! If you stab it in the eye, you can make it stop killing you (I guess that's one way to test the myth). You can catch a glimpse of this robo-Jaws in the vid below.

Enterline v. Pocono Medical Center, 2008 WL 5192386 (M.D. Pa. December 11, 2008)
A federal court in Pennsylvania has denied a motion demanding that a website operator turn over the identity of persons who commented anonymously in response to an article posted on the website. The court held that the website had standing to assert the free speech rights of the anonymous speakers, and that the First Amendment barred the unmasking where the information sought was available from other sources.
Plaintiff Enterline sued defendant Pocono Medical Center for sexual harassment and retaliation. On October 9, 2008, the local newspaper, The Pocono Record, published an article about the lawsuit. Several people left comments to the article, some of them claiming personal knowledge of facts possibly relevant to the case.
Enterline sent a subpoena to the newspaper seeking the identity of the anonymous commenters. When the newspaper wouldn't respond, Enterline filed a motion to compel response to the subpoena. The newspaper responded by asserting a number of arguments. Among those arguments was that disclosure of the anonymous commenters' identities would violate those persons' First Amendment right to speak anonymously.
Siding with the newspaper, the court denied the motion.
The court first evaluated whether the newspaper website operator even had standing (i.e., the legal right) to assert the anonymous commenters' First Amendment right. To answer this question in the affirmative, the court found that:
- Practical obstacles prevented the anonymous commenters from asserting rights on their own behalf. The anonymity was the very right at stake. To defend that right, the commenters would have to be identified (setting aside for a moment the question of whether the commenters could appear as Doe defendants). The evaporation of that anonymity would lead to practical difficulties, as they had indicated they worked at the hospital or otherwise had personal connections with the litigants.
- The anonymous commenters had sufficient injury-in-fact to satisfy the constitutional "case or controversy" requirement. Looking to such cases as RIAA v. Verizon, 257 F.Supp.2d 244 (D.D.C. 2003), the court agreed with the website operator, concluding that the relationship between the website and its readers was the type of relationship allowing it to assert the First Amendment rights of the anonymous commentators.
- The website operator could reasonably be expected to properly frame the issues and present them with the necessary adversarial zeal. There was little discussion on this point, as the plaintiff did not contest that the website operator would be an adequate advocate to assert the First Amendment rights of the anonymous visitors.
Finding that the website operator had standing to assert the rights of its anonymous commenters, the court next considered whether the identification of the anonymous speakers would violate the First Amendment. To evaluate this question, the court applied the factors set out in Doe v. 2TheMart.com, 140 F.Supp.2d 1088 (W.D. Wash. 2001).
The court found that:
- The subpoena was not brought in bad faith or for an improper purpose,
- The information sought related to a core claim of the plaintiff,
- The information was directly and materially relevant to the claim,
- Information required to prove the plaintiff's claims was available from other sources. Several of the anonymous commenters stated that they were, for example, co-workers of the plaintiff or of the doctor against whom the plaintiff complained. The information these anonymous posters had could be uncovered through other discovery
but that
This case is significant inasmuch as it could be applied to a case where a blogger or any other social media website operator is asked to turn over information that would identify its anonymous users. The decision outlines the framework that a blogger would have to use to show it has the right to argue on behalf of its anonymous visitors. The case then lays out (with the help of the 2TheMart.com decision) what must be shown after that initial threshold is crossed.
