D: All Things Digital @ CES: Live-Streaming Interviews With Hastings (Netflix), Rubinstein (Palm) and Rubin (Google)
D: All Things Digital is packing up our wagon and taking it on the road right after the holiday, with a special "mini" session at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Organized by The Wall Street Journal, the interview event will take place Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, at the Venetian hotel. While space is limited at the invitation-only event, we will be live-streaming the entire thing on the site, starting 3:30 pm PT and ending at 5:30 pm (and it will be available later for watching anytime).
On the ATD red-hot seats:
First up: Reed Hastings, CEO, president and chairman of Netflix (NFLX), to be queried by MediaMemo's Peter Kafka about where digital media and entertainment are headed and how.
Next: Jon Rubinstein, Chairman and CEO of Palm (PALM), talking to BoomTown about what's going on one year after the company unveiled its Pre smartphone and webOS at last year's CES.
Last, but not least: Google (GOOG) VP of Engineering Andy Rubin will be interviewed by Walt Mossberg about the search giant's Android efforts, the new Nexus One mobile phone and more.
Obviously, there is a lot to talk about with these three, so tune in to our front page on Jan. 8 for the live video.

I made this discussion to /vent some...
My plight is simply that chiropractors do more harm than good. One of my girlfriends says she swears by hers and I am sure you all have friends that say the same thing.
My problem with my girlfriend is that she has been going for over 6 years and still complains about the same back problems.
I got into an argument with her about it and finished with,
"Cracking your bones to cure your ailments is ridiculous!"
I then hung up on her.
I am just worried about my girlfriend as she is actually doing irreparable harm to her body.
Ever time I hear the world, "spinal adjustments"… it just makes me angry!

I think Steve is a member here on TA He has some great videos.
Good video. Thanks Jason.
I've heard from doctors that it's mostly bunk - I dunno.
Way back in my day I had serious back issues so I tried a chiropractor for a few weeks until he severely hurt me. A few days later I told him that his "adjustment" did more damage than good but he was too busy flirting with some female patient and did it to me again. I was done with that crap. Later I discovered that I had a compressed L4 L5 and no amount of cracking is going to fix that.

Born in Belgium in 1969, Anja Van Herle combines a European sense of high fashion in her artwork with an American sense of wonder. Her childhood years were devoted to exploring the fundamentals of her art using crayons, pencils and watercolors. In 1987, she enrolled in Belgium's Higher Institute for Art Education where she earned a Master's of Fine Arts in Painting. In 2003, Anja relocated to Los Angeles, where she now concentrates on figurative paintings that are inspired by both classic and contemporary fashion while exploring issues of identity, emotion and human interrelationships. As timelessly chic as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Anja's women are playfully sexy, and their expressions and eyes tell stories that go far beyond the simple exhibition of fine fashion. In Anja's masterful
hands, fashion becomes alive. "These women—they feel."

It is the year 2287, one of the first colony ships sent out by Earth arrives at the planet Maria, in the Epsilon Indi Star System. During its landing sequence, something appears in front of the massive ship that causes it to lose control and crash into the planet. Some of the colonists survive in lifeboats, but what they find is an unforgiving land filled with creatures ready to outlast the visitors from Earth. Now the survivors must explore, gather, build, create, fight, and ultimately, conquer the land.

text: Many people in the Chicago area will remember my father Réal well. He was the longtime director of the Alliance Française. A wonderful gregarious man, very gifted at public speaking who absolutely loved food. There are two things I did not inherit from his set of genes. The first is the gift of public speaking. To speak publicly at my father's level is an art form. He was brilliant. He could say one thing and literally mean another. I can remember one speech he gave while mad at me. He wove in some fatherly advice and a healthy dose of discipline. Not a single person in the crowd realized it. People were clapping and cheering. I was getting scolded publicly. The second was his cooking gene. Very sad about the first one. Positively giddy about the second. Quite frankly, the man could not cook at all. Or for those who knew my father well, his cooking was 'god awful' as he was fond of saying. I think my sister Anne inherited that gene. Thankfully my cooking gene came directly from Provence via my mother….

Constance Hale on Those "Fertile Phrasals"
Last week we brought you an excerpt from Constance Hale's new book, Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch: Let Verbs Power Your Writing, focusing on the power of phrasal verbs. In this second part, Hale looks at just how productive those "fertile phrasals" have grown to be.
Here's another thing to know about phrasal verbs: they are like arugula, tasting like a vegetable but acting like a weed, regenerating like mad in the garden. This explains why set claims more real estate than any other word in the Oxford English Dictionary: the entry for that innocent verb includes more than 430 senses, consisting of approximately 60,000 words or 326,000 characters.
What's so cool about phrasal verbs is the versatility they give us. Each expression conveys a shade of meaning that would not be possible without the particle.
Mix different synonyms with different particles and the ways to describe an activity increase geometrically. Start with eat and add a particle; you get eat up. Swap in synonyms, adjust the particles, and the imagination goes nuts with gustatory possibilities: chow down, gobble up, pig out, scarf up, tuck in, pork out, polish off, put away, take in, peck at, and dispatch within seconds.
What's not so cool about phrasal verbs is that one combo can mean several different things. Come out has eighteen different meanings, encompassing cotillions in Manhattan and street parties in San Francisco's Castro district.
Log in, meet up — but don't bog down
Another vexing thing about phrasal verbs is that they can gang up with prepositions and other words:
- gang up on (as in "My family ganged up on me")
- walk out on ("At least my husband didn't walk out on me")
- face up to ("Family harmony requires facing up to problems")
- fix up with ("I tried to fix my daughter up with Joan's son")
- get away with ("My girl wasn't about to let me get away with that")
- meet up with ("She met up with me at the movie theater")
Some of these beefier gangs can trip up even the deftest wordsmiths. Phrasal verbs emerging out of the tech sector are especially tricky, because they are so colloquial. Back in 1996, many writers and editors followed the verb log with into. The editors of Wired magazine (aka yours truly) tried to set them straight in the irreverent Wired Style:
Keep the to discrete — don't write "log onto" or "log into." Unconvinced by our prepositional logic? Consider the difference between He came on to me and He came onto me.
To use phrasal verbs without making mistakes, we have to understand them. Log on means "to access a computer or network." When we're done, we log off. Two phrasal verbs. In both, we must keep the verb and particle unconjoined in order to enjoy different tenses: it's log on, logging on, and logged on, after all — can you imagine the spelling train wrecks that would result if we started with logon? Could we live with a gerund like logoning?
Log on might be the most common phrasal verb brought to us by geekspeak, but it's hardly the only one. Jack in and dial up gained currency in the Internet age, goto tells a computer to perform a one-way transfer of control to another line of code, while Mailto refers to the code that makes an email address in a text or HTML message clickable. Mashup is an application that combines data, or functionality, from two or more sources to create new services. More recently, we've had the social-media success stories StumbleUpon and LinkedIn. (Clearly, neologists have ignored the call to separate verbs and particles.)

This website provides access to the research results of the VECTORS project, which can be used to support marine management decisions, policies and governance as well as future research and investment.
VECTORS was a large scale project that brought together more than 200 expert researchers from 16 different countries. It examined the significant changes taking place in European seas, their causes, and the impacts they will have on society.
Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has been given increased prominence recently in various parts of the world. In response to increasing pressures upon the seas, potentially huge economic potentials for maritime industries, fragmentation of marine governance, and tensions between economic interests and environmental goals, MSP is currently developing as a tool for integrated marine governance. MSP is a comprehensive process for spatially and temporally analysing and allocating human activities in marine areas on the basis of ecological, economic, and social objectives. Within Europe the new Framework Directive on MSP obliges member states to transpose MSP regulations over the next years and to have marine spatial plans in place by spring 2021. In practice this transposition comes along with a number of challenges, such as the implementation of the ecosystem approach in MSP, the integration of fisheries in MSP, and the interlink between MSP and the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).
With the development of marine activities such as energy, maritime traffic and the increase of areas reserved for nature conservation, the space available to fishing is shrinking. There is a strong need for fishermen and the fishing industry to participate in MSP processes. This, however, has so far often been more than difficult simply because fisheries are a highly mobile activity. At the same time marine areas can be very heterogeneous in terms of catch rates influencing their profitability for fisheries. VECTORS scientists investigated the impact of different spatial planning scenarios on the revenue of Dutch and German fleets. Analysed was also to what degree climate change might influence some of the fisheries in the North Sea and whether this should be taken up in an integrated spatial marine management.
According to the European Framework Directive MSP shall follow the ecosystem approach, which means – among others – that MSP shall be based on the best available scientific knowledge about the ecosystem and its dynamics (cf. HELCOM & OSPAR, 2003). VECTORS research provided new knowledge on how human activities influence marine ecosystems and on how this knowledge can help to implement the ecosystem approach in MSP. VECTORS assessed the impact of wind farms on the occurrence of the moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita as well as on oxygen conditions in the southwestern Baltic Sea. The project also provided advice for marine management also and produced a new spatial typology for the sea which identified marine spaces with consistent features that ask for joint planning and management approaches beyond administrative borders.

We would like to congratulate Vivi from South Africa on his world No.1 ranking in the Overclockers League on HWBOT. This is an individual ranking league which has historically been the best benchmark on who the ultimate overclockers are in the world. Vivi has managed to finally concur the top spot after setting his sights on it for the last several months.
We've noticed a couple of huge overclocks from the young South African on posted HWBOT this weekend. The scores were multithreaded scores in nature based on based on HWBOT Prime and Wprime. The hardware used was Intel 4770K CPU and GIGABYTE Z87X-OC motherboard which have been Vivi's "go to" hardware for numerous world records over the last year.
P.S. HWBOT does have other leagues which also attracts some of the biggest names in OC but they are primarily based on team scores and while individuals in Pro OC league do get rankings, it's more about the team rather than a sole quest for an individual to attack a large number of benchmarks as is in The Overclockers League.

Rough Enough
Description: -
From Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
If you want some more, join our party as it flows
I may be dressed provocative, but don't judge me by my cover
Maybe I'm particular, but I need a perfect lover
Talk well or don't talk at all - show respect, we're five feet tall
* You know we got the stuff
Are you rough enough
Come on follow me baby
If you want some more
What are you waiting for
Join our party as it flows
You maybe think I'm easy, but without respect, no score
I like to move, I like to tease, if you watch me, you want more
Talk well or don't talk at all - show respect, we're five feet tall
* Repeat
We are what we express, we express what we feel
Are you rough enough?
* Repeat

"It was a great thing that he has been in our lives." So said Colin Bell about the legendary Malcolm Allison, who's career and unorthodox approach to life has been dissected with the precision of a surgeon's knife over the last six months or so.
The Glory years of Mal's Maine Road tenure are well trodden, the Gory years that followed equally familiar to one and all, but the sometimes bleak sometimes vivacious end to his coaching career represented by the three jobs he held in Portugal make a fascinating postscript to an undulating story.
Stop any Sporting follower of a certain vintage with the refrain "Big Mal" and they will regale you of his exploits with their team in season 81-82, when the green and whites carried off a double of cup and league playing barnstorming, technically daring football that swept all before it. They speak of "um verdadeiro Mister" (a real football manager), of the larger than life character that England came to love or hate, but also of a man of subtlety and intuition, of candour and tenderness.
Mal walked into a set-up at Sporting that was well prepared for success. Aside from Antonio Oliveira, a national team regular and the Hungarian national keeper Meszaros, Melo, Venâncio, Nogueira, Virgílio and Alberto all arrived that summer. They were added to an already strong squad. Eurico, the defensive lynchpin was impressed by Allison's early excursions into creating a winning group. "He gave us responsibility. All players had the right to a glass of red wine with our lunch. I can well remember the immaculately dressed serving staff putting bottle of wine on our tables at meal times. In one of our first meals together at the beginning of malcolm Allison's season with us, an employee served the wine and went to remove the bottles. Up went the shout from Mr Allison "leave those bottles where they are!"
As in England, everyone he came into contact with and especially those lucky enough to have worked closely with him, have a favourite story of the big man. Manuel Fernandes was Mal's choice at centre forward in the all-conquering Sporting side of 1981. He remembers a trip to Paris at the end of the season for a wind-down friendly after a triumphant close to the football year. "We went to Paris to play PSV Eindhoven in a friendly, end of season stuff. We were champions and had just brought home the Taça de Portugal (Portuguese cup) as well. After a good long dinner, we returned to the hotel. It was already two in the morning, so I said to Mr Allison, "Boss, what time do we get up in the morning?" I will never forget his reply. He looked at me, smiling, and said "Today, nobody's going to sleep. We are going out on the town in Paris. We are champions and now our job is to celebrate and enjoy each other's company. We will come back at six!"
Priceless footage of a three sided Alvalade stadium, in the process of reconstruction, as Sporting put seven past Rio Ave in the last game of the season, with the title already won. Malcolm Allison is seen barking instructions from the bench as Jordao runs riot and in the changing rooms afterwards with his defrocked players. Confusingly, Sporting are wearing the white shirts. Only the socks give them away.
Mal's domestic success with Sporting had been tinged slightly with the disappointment of a failure to spark in European competition, a story that haunted him with City too. Having dismantled an excellent Southampton side containing the likes of Keegan, Channon and Alan Ball, Sporting slipped up against Neuchatel Xamax. Antonio Oliveira remembers the away leg on the south coast of England. "For this tie he decided to put me at right back. he said to our keeper, Meszaros, "When you have the ball, play it out to Oli down the right." Mal had seen a weakness in the Saints side and manoeuvred his best players into positions to attack that frailty. We won 4-2 at the Dell, Sporting's first ever away win on English soil.. What a night, what a tactician". Had Mal seen something in Nick Holmes to give him hope? It would not have been the first time that such a sentiment had been encouraged. Whatever the lead, Sporting mercilessly carried out the big man's orders, swift counter-attacking goals down the flank sinking the home side without trace. As the final whistle sounded, the British public were treated to one last proper Big Mal moment on national television. As rival boss McMenemy fled away down the cramped touchline, Big Mal could be seen ambling back to the dressing rooms surrounded by the adoring attention of the press photographers flashbulbs and microphones. It must have felt like a wonderful home-coming.
Goalkeeper Meszaros also has fond memories of Mal: "I owe him an awful lot. It was Mr Allison who brought me to Lisbon and afterwards to Setubal in 87-88. There was one detail which I will never ever forget. It came in a cup match at home to Boavista, which we were losing 2-1 at half-time. We, the players, were already in the dressing room. He just opened the door and said as calmly as you like, "If you want to win this match, give the ball to Mário Jorge.'' Then he shut the door again and hammered on it with his fists from the outside. We all looked at each other. In the 2nd half, Mário Jorge created the equaliser for Manuel Fernandes and was floored in the area for our penalty winner..."
Carlos Xavier was a youngster in the side: "Every time we played in Alvalade we were to be in the stadium at 10.30 and we would take "lunch" at this time too. Malcolm Allison told us that we could eat what we wanted, potatoes, eggs, meat, fish, pasta. You could choose. Until the match started, we would stay there inside the bowels of the stadium. By the time we left the changing rooms to go up to the pitch, we all had goosebumps. Everyone in the ground did, supporters, staff, players, because Mr Allison would go onto the pitch before us and walk a lap of the whole perimetre with his arms out, waving and gesticulating to the supporters with that amazing hat of his. He was like a show before the show, if you like. The supporters were whipped up into a state of near delirium by the time the match was due to start and we were too. We would hear live music playing, clearly hitting the notes of "o Comanchero".What a time that was. Malcolm's departure was the end of the golden period for that Sporting team."
The afore-mentioned Mario Jorge had seemed on his way out of Alvalade when Allison arrived, but the new coach managed to change things round for the wayward talent. "He liked to see the young players in action. he arranged an early training session and just wanted to see us pass, trap, receive and deliver the ball, simple stuff, nothing fancy. I remember being aware of how he was watching me pass and control the ball. After the session he asked me to stay at the club and he put his confidence in me. He kept his distance from the players, didn't say much but valued hard work and players he could rely on to perfom."
|"O tipo do chapeu e de charuto"
Despite his roaring success in the first year at Alvalade, Big Mal's job in Lisbon came to an abrupt end at the very beginning of the following season. He was fired by president João Rocha, another man who enjoyed the limelight. It was rumoured that Rocha could not stand the attention Mal was getting from the fans and, more importantly, the local and national media. The story was circulated that Mal had been drinking too much, a more than feasible excuse, as his high jinks and taste for alcohol and fast women had followed him into southern Europe, but there are those, who deny this to be the real reason for his somewhat precipitous departure. Oliveira again: "It was a deeply unjust process that was unleashed on Mr Allison. An agent was preparing the smooth arrival of Joszef Venglos and managed to invent a story that Allison had downed an impossible amount of alcohol." Although Malcolm's capacity to drink and carry on drinking had by this time transcended into legend, Oliveira doubts its veracity. Ironically, it was Oliveira that would be the immediate beneficiary of the new situation, substituting the departing Englishman in the capacity of player-manager whilst Venglos's contractual niceties were finalised.
As stated elsewhere on the pages of this blog, an unconfirmed story tells of Joao Rocha calling Mal to a meeting in his office, where there is a bottle of whisky in the middle of his desk. Rocha throws down his new contract and says "It is one or the other, Malcolm, you cannot have both." To which Allison, in true Dartford gunslinger style, picks up the bottle and departs. Other stories have Mal misbehaving on a grand scale during a pre-season trip to Bulgaria, where the trusty combination of drink and girls seems to have been augmented by the appearance of the local police in Sporting's hotel. This appears to have been the straw that broke the camel's back for Rocha. he could no longer countenance Mal's playboy shenanigans and, despite the fact that he had produced a swashbuckling winning side the like of which green and white fans would not witness for another 18 years (when the club finally brought home another league title under Lazslo Boloni), it heralded the parting of the ways.
Sporting was Mal's last big success. Flops, failures and truncated stays followed at Middlebrough, Kuwait (what a choice) and Bristol Rovers where he finally brought the curtain down on a career flaming in headlines since the early 60s. According to António Oliveira: "Malcolm was a man who enjoyed life to the full and wanted to transmit the joy of working in the industry of football to all of us players and staff."
Mal's squad, by the end of his tenure at Sporting looked like this:
|Big Mal with his squad at a packed Alvalade
Meszaros, Fidalgo, Virgílio, Barão, Eurico, Carlos Xavier, Bastos, Zezinho, Meneses, Inácio, Mário Jorge, Ademar,
Marinho, Lito, Esmoriz, Nogueira, Freire, Manuel Fernandes, Oliveira and Jordão.
Still today considered one of Sporting's finest squads in the rich and textured past of this great institution.
Mal still had time to alight from the Destruction Express at a football outpost called Setubal. Based in the dowdy but characterful fishing port south of Lisbon, the local side was down on its luck slumbering in the 2nd division when the new coach breezed in under a cloud of blue cigar smoke one morning. Then as now, Setubal was a run-down, ramshackle sort of place. You can smell the salt from the estuary, the fish from the quays and the ever-present churascos (barbecues) along the Avenida Luisa Todi. If the wind is in the wrong direction, an awful funk pervades from the paper pulping factories by the great ship building sinks. Nevertheless it is a beautiful setting, with a wide estuary giving out onto the Troia Peninsular on one side and the elegant bulk of the Arrabida coast on the other. This is like the Cote d'Azur without the jungle of concrete and buzz of Porsche cabriolets. It is truly a lost paradise, 40 kilometres south of the bustling hub of Lisbon and 2 or 3 from Setubal. Mal would have loved the beach restaurants serving fresh ameijoas a bulhao pato (clams in white win sauce), the icy Vinho Verde (Portuguese sparkling green wine) and the gentle sunny climate Indeed, he holed up in a wonderful farmstead in the Arrabida hills, overlooking lush green valleys of fruit orchards on one side and the clear blue Atlantic on the other. It is an intoxicating place. He seems to have been taken by his life here almost immediately. The story goes that he was planning to lay down slightly more long term roots. He seems to have found some peace in this unassuming, slightly decrepit corner of south west Portugal.
He got back into coaching in a big way, the downtrodden Vitoria squad the obvious and immediate beneficiaries. Soon Mal had the rag-tag band of no-hopers on the way to promotion. It was around this time, mid 1987, that Vitoria's goalkeeping coach began to bring his son along to training sessions. His son was a Physical Education student in Lisbon and, even at that age, was keen to learn from interesting and innovative teachers.

|The slightly shabby fishing port of Setubal nestles 2kms behind the glorious Arrabida hills
Taking one look at Big Mal at work with the Vitoria squad, the young man was swiftly hooked. He became a permanent fixture at squad training. The goalkeeping coach was called Felix. Felix Mourinho. His son, Mal's last disciple, a self-confident young man who today carries more than a passing resemblance to the self-assured coach he watched so closely all those years ago. Next time you see José Mourinho strut onto centre stage, ask yourself who he reminds you of.

I have just spent the most lovely week in Austria with the bf. We had such a fun time skiing, relaxing and filling up on Gluhwein, strudel and lots of hot chocolate ;).
And it looks like I have brought the snow back with me to England... perhaps I was a bit too speedy in putting my thermals away! xxx

The president of the European Central Bank has started to deliver on his recent promise to do whatever it takes to save the euro.
It is the most ambitious action yet to stem Europe's sovereign debt crisis.
Listen to my analysis from this morning's edition of AM.
Throughout this crisis the can certainly has been kicked down the road, but importantly today we are seeing unprecedented bond buying, which will give the eurozone more breathing space to get out of this crisis which has been running now for three years.
The ECB's action is intended to ensure that Spanish and Italian bond yields will no longer be able to rise to the post-euro highs we have seen over recent months that had threatened to make both nations' debt repayments unsustainable.
The key words in the ECB announcement are "unlimited bond buying", which could mean hundreds of billions of euros from the ECB.
However, there are conditions: countries like Spain and Italy must first request help from the Europe's bailout fund, and commit to economic reforms and austerity, before the ECB will actually step in to buy their bonds.
Under the program, called Outright Monetary Transactions, the ECB will step in to buy an unlimited quantity of bonds that financial markets do not like or want.
That could be enough to help these countries turn themselves around, but the ECB rescue may be very costly, maybe putting more than 1 trillion euros on the line in bond purchases.
There are risks that the ECB simply gets stuck with a lot more debt on its books for little long-term benefit, with Spain and Italy taking the chance to rack up more debt at lower interest rates.
However, when pressed on this point, the ECB president Mario Draghi made it clear that the central bank would pull the plug if indebted countries do not play by the rules.
"We want this to be perceived as a fully effective backstop that removes tail risks from the euro area. We want this," he told reporters at a press briefing after the meeting.
"But, at the same time, if we reach our objectives why should we continue doing so? If governments or countries do not comply, why should we continue doing so?"
The decision by the ECB was not unanimous.
There was one significant dissenting view from Germany, with its central bank governor voting against this bond buying measure.
That was anticipated, though, given Germany's recent protests that the ECB was breaching its mandate and possibly EU law, and also risking an outbreak of inflation.
The German industrialist and former head of IBM Europe Hans Olaf Henkel is one very vocal critic who says the ECB's strategy is flawed.
"The European Central Bank has totally gotten under the control of politicians. They will save the euro to the death," he said.
"As far as the conditions are concerned, with the exception of Ireland, all those countries have meanwhile dropped all commitments which they made. The politicians are making a mistake."
However, the move got almost unanimous support from investors, with European markets surging on the news.
Spain's main share index rocketed almost 5 per cent, even though under this strategy it would need to seek a fully blown bailout in the first instance from the EU to qualify for the bond buying program.
So, in some ways, investors are getting excited about something that could actually be quite bad news.
In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed almost 2 per cent higher, with both it and the broader S&P 500 jumping to their highest levels in more than four years.

Mail below i recieved, remember games are ruined by cheaters pbbans made alot to prevent it..
Dear solifer,
In case you didn't already know, PBBans is funded through donations from our community. It allows us to have creative freedom with no advertisements and to choose our host among other things. However over the last number of month's we have not been reaching our goal despite our lower monthly cost.
Right now we have received $50 for February and our reserve funds is not enough to cover next month. We have to give our host a 30 day cancellation notice so unless we receive more donations by the end of this month we will have our hosting shutdown at the end of March. That means the website and streaming will go offline for good.
We know that the Punk Buster community is getting smaller by the day. The last new game announcement for Punk Buster was over 3 years ago and the last game update listed on their website is for 2 and a half years ago. Our streaming server count has been dropping for quite some time and will continue to do so which makes it harder and harder to raise funding.
Given the above we fully understand should our community not wish to donate but if you do use our resources such as the mpi and wish for it to stay online then we will need donations to make that happen.
Thank you for all the support in the past and we hope it will continue.

DETROIT -- Medically speaking, the placebo effect is when a patient feels the benefit of a medication that could not possibly have that impact on their symptoms.
In other words, a pharmacologically neutral substance -- like a sugar pill -- produces miraculous results, simply because the patient believes they are being given something stronger.
Mind over matter.
I'd argue that -- as of yet -- Jose Valverde's return to the closer's role for the Detroit Tigers has produced a placebo effect.
(Note: The effects of Jose Valverde have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Not to be taken internally. Do not try at home.)
Coming into Saturday's game, he'd only been called upon five times in the 15 games since his minor-league contract was purchased on April 24, so he's hardly had the chance to prove he's the answer to the Tigers' most glaring ailment. His three saves before Saturday hardly constitute a significant on-the-field impact, as of yet.
No, I'd argue that Valverde's biggest contribution to the Tigers is more psychological than physical.
He's allowed the remainder of the bullpen arms to slot back into more familiar, comfortable roles, without wondering who might be the next committee member to be arbitrarily selected as the closer du jour.
He's like an old shoe that you know fits. And him occupying the ninth allows others to go back to roles where they've proven they fit.
"Once he got here, he's got the ninth, (Joaquin) Benoit's got the eighth, and it'll be a combination of getting us to those points with a lead," catcher Alex Avila said shortly after Valverde's return. "It's worked for us in the past, so why not try it again?"
It's allowed the entire team to go about their business without wondering who was going to do the job. It was no longer a question.
While everyone adhered -- with varying degrees of sincerity -- to the company line that they could just as easily get by with a closer-by-committee, Valverde's return eliminated the need to experiment with the system to find out the truthfulness of that statement.
No proven closer? Not anymore.
Better yet, no one has to be asked about it daily.
His return finally allows that particular scab to heal over, at least in part, just because no one's picking at it daily.
"This guy has been the closer for years. ... Over the years, he's learned how to pitch and close the games out," veteran outfielder Torii Hunter said. "I'm pretty sure he's teaching a lot of the guys down there. Just having his presence down there in the bullpen and help them figure out what's going on. He's going to teach those guys and I'm glad to have him on my team."
Had Bruce Rondon -- the guy expected to take over Valverde's role in the offseason -- stuck around with the Tigers longer, he could have been one of those guys learning from the veteran.
"Well, I think you always benefit from veteran players, I think more about how to handle a situation than actually how to do it. Because I mean, your stuff is your stuff; you're going to throw what you have. So you can get advice from people, but it's still a matter of people doing it," manager Jim Leyland said of the potential relationship between the closer of the recent past and the closer of the future.
"I think, certainly Jose would be a good guy as far as having gone through it, and knowing how to react when you blow one. I think that's pretty important."
Turns out Rondon wasn't even ready for that step just yet.
That's OK, because Valverde's presence means he doesn't have to be. Rondon was able to go back to Toledo, and continue to progress at his own rate, in a lower-stress environment.
Another off-the-field bonus.
OK, but how about ON the field?
Thanks to the offense, the Tigers haven't needed a closer all that much this season at all, even before Valverde's return. Their seven team saves rank 16th in MLB, while their four blown saves are 12th.
So it's not exactly like the Valverde move was entirely a knee-jerk reaction to a horrific situation.
Sub-optimal? Sure.
Untenable? Not quite that bad.
The on-the-field results are still lagging behind the off-the-field advantages, because the Tigers have handled the 35-year-old carefully, considering he had no spring training.
"Valverde hasn't had a spring training. So I'm not going to do stupid stuff. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to get greedy on April 29th, or whatever it is. I'm not going to do that," Leyland said after Valverde's first week back.
"I think that I don't want to get too greedy with him. The welcome back, and the couple saves -- that's all good. I want to make sure that keeps going.
"I would say to say he's a work in progress is pretty accurate. Getting settled back in to the comfort of the team, and the clubhouse, and the mound, and the responsibility."
Leyland has been just as cautious in making any truly declarative statements about the closer.
"We'll just wait to see how it turns out. We don't want to put the cart before the horse, but we'd certainly like him to be the guy," Leyland said. "Yeah, I've got confidence in him, but I just don't want to get crazy, and start making silly statements. Let's just see how it plays out. Just let it happen. See what happens."
Velocity? Sure, it seems to be there ... so far.
Split-finger? He really hasn't needed to use it to get results. Coming into Saturday's game, he'd only allowed one baserunner -- on a walk -- in five innings of big-league work.
"If he gets guys out, who cares?" Avila asked.
Nothing Valverde has done so far has proven that he's truly a different pitcher than he was last year.
And nothing he's done so far has proven that he's not.
Nobody knows how the on-the-field stuff is going to play out.
Not Leyland.
Not Dave Dombrowski, the Tigers' general manager, who was finally convinced to take a low-risk flyer on the veteran.
Not agent Scott Boras, who sold the Tigers on the idea of reuniting with Valverde, when he couldn't sell them on spending big bucks to land free agent Rafael Soriano.
Not me.
Not you.
No one.
Could he still blow up, leaving the Tigers no closer to finding a solution to the ninth inning than they were when they started? Absolutely. No one can guarantee otherwise.
But there's no question there's been an impact already.
Mostly psychological.
There seems to be far less panic from fans. Far less trepidation from those on the coaching staff and pitching staff who had to take part in the risky closer-by-committee experiment.
Far less unsettled feeling about the whole process.
Far fewer stories written about it, too.
"If Valverde's good, we'll be pretty good. It changes so much. The smell of the team, and the confidence level. ... It just changes everything so much," Leyland said.
"It's like I said: I think the telltale sign is that there's never been a club in the history of baseball -- ever -- that ... feels like the New York Yankees in the bottom of the ninth inning with the lead, and Mariano Rivera coming out. There's never been an air of confidence about a team, where the players almost are excited because they know he's going to put it over, he's going to throw strikes, he's going to make them put it in play, he's going to strike them out -- and they're going to win the game.
"That's just the way it is. You can talk until the cows come home. And that's the good thing for the people that think anybody can pitch the ninth inning -- it's just absolutely not true.
"If it was true, managers wouldn't worry about a closer.
"But the Yankees are a perfect example. For the last however many years he's pitched, if they a lead in the ninth inning, whether it be regular season, postseason, World Series -- they took the field with an air about them like 'This game is over.' And, in most cases, it was.
"It's a big difference."
That's just it. While no one mistakes him for Rivera, Valverde has allowed the Tigers more confidence in the situation than they've had for the better part of a year.
He's allowed everyone to exhale.
At this point, does it really matter if he fixes the larger problem for good?
He's at least fixed part of it for the Tigers and their fans, just because they want to believe.
Mind over matter.
A sugar pill with magical results.
A pretty good placebo ... that might turn into the real cure.

Mr. Miyagi: "I need to get off Zuclox."
Dr. Grumpy: "What's wrong? You've been on Zuclox for almost 10 years without any problems."
Mr. Miyagi: "It's affecting my balance."
Dr. Grumpy: "Why do you say that?"
Mr. Miyagi: "I fell this weekend."
Dr. Grumpy: "What happened?"
Mr. Miyagi: "I was at the senior citizens dance, trying to meet some ladies. You see, back in 1946 I was stationed in Japan, and learned karate there. I was really good at it, too, and won a few tournaments. I haven't done it since I left the army though. Anyway, at the dance, some of the ladies and I were having drinks at the bar, and they were talking about those karate films, so I decided to show them my moves. I lost my balance and fell on my butt, and all those ladies started laughing at me. One of them laughed so hard her friend had to bring in her oxygen tank."
Dr. Grumpy: "I'm not sure Zuclox is why you fell."
Mr. Miyagi: "I looked it up. Balance problems are in the side effects."
Dr. Grumpy: "Yes, but you never had them with it before."
Mr. Miyagi: "Look, just tell me how to stop it. The next dance is in 2 weeks."

I'm so happy to share that today marks the one year anniversary of my life in Spain! I think I've got things pretty good after one year. I have a job/income, a roof, good friends, and I've seen and done many new things. Every day is another learning opportunity and I'm incredibly thankful!
When I look at this list of some things I've done in one year I just can't believe it.
- Two trips to Sevilla (one was for la feria)
- Valencia for las fallas
- Casablanca, Fez, Tangier and Chefchaouen, Morocco
- Barcelona
- Zaragoza
- Toledo
- Mallorca
- Trips to Alicante (one for Hogueras)
- Ibiza
- Florence and Rome, Italy
In addition to the places visited I completed a half-marathon and finally began to like children. For any close family and friends who read this…you know what I mean. I've improved my horrendous Spanish a bit and also found out that I can live on my own without starving to death.
I can only hope the next year and years following continue to get even better. 😉

Sales tax increase to fund Pre-K 4 SA starts today
Shoppers will pay 8.25 percent, a 1/8-cent hike.
Whether you stop in at the supermarket or the mall on Monday, you might notice a slightly higher total bill.
That's because Monday marks the first day that San Antonio's sales tax hits 8.25 percent, up from 8.125 percent.
San Antonio's sales tax is now at the state-capped maximum rate. It's the last major municipality in Texas to reach that level.
Voters in November approved a 1/8-cent sales tax increase to fund Pre-K 4 SA, a full-day prekindergarten program that will educate some 22,400 4-year-olds over the next eight school years.
The state comptroller's office has notified businesses that collect sales tax of the changing rate, Deputy City Manager Peter Zanoni said. The increased revenue actually will begin flowing into San Antonio's coffers in June, he said.
It's unlikely, however, that the comptroller's letter reached the right person in every business that collects sales tax locally.
Adelante Boutique owner Marla Ross said in an email that she wasn't aware of Monday's change.
"I didn't realize there was a new tax rate in effect for April 1st. If there has been a letter sent to retailers I either didn't receive one or haven't opened my letter," she wrote. "To my knowledge Adelante has not been officially informed of a sales tax change effective (April 1, 2013)."
Leigh Landreth, co-owner of the LeeLee shop at the Pearl, also said she was unaware of the new tax rate. Making the change in their system isn't a big deal, though, she said.
"It's literally a click of a button for us," she said.
Laura Quinones, manager of Leighelena, said she recalled receiving the comptroller letter about a month ago.
Her store attracts a tourist crowd, she said, and people don't complain much about the sales tax.
"I don't think it's going to be a big deal," she said.
The city receives its portion of the sales tax that is collected each month about two months after it was actually taken in. Businesses collect the tax from each sale and then remit their payments to the state comptroller every month. The state keeps 6.25 percent and disperses the balance to the appropriate jurisdictions.
Voters approved Pre-K 4 SA for an initial eight-year period. On average over that time, the 1/8th-cent tax is expected to raise approximately $31 million a year to fund the initiative.

Rebuilding the Gulf, Responding to the Gospel
The NOLA Immersion is a service-immersion program sponsored by Campus Ministry at Providence College. The NOLA Immersion is both a general response to the Gospel call to do justice and a specific response to the reality of post-Katrina New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA). The NOLA Immersion has at its core a commitment to the dignity of the human person, lived out by accompanying our neighbors in the journey toward justice.
The purpose of the NOLA Immersion is to cultivate, through active service and the lens of faith, a sense of solidarity with women and men living on the margins. In that same spirit of solidarity, participants live simply and in community together, with prayer and reflection central to the experience. The NOLA Immersion seeks participants with a diversity of spiritual backgrounds and welcomes applications from individuals of all religions.
While the service-immersion experience in New Orleans takes place each year during Winter Break, the pre-immersion process begins almost a year prior to that time. In April, fourteen students are selected as the NOLA Team for the coming academic year. The NOLA Team meets each week during Fall Semester to get to know each other, to learn about New Orleans and the purpose of the NOLA Immersion program, and to solidify the itinerary for the service-immersion over Winter Break. In October, the NOLA Team organizes the annual NOLA Meal Auction to raise funds and foster community at PC. There is an overnight retreat for all trip participants in November.
During the last week of Winter Break, the NOLA Team travels to New Orleans to serve the community and understand the day-to-day realities of local residents, neighborhoods, and community groups. Immersion into the community's culture, music, food, faith, and stories is crucial in the development of this understanding. The group partners with organizations such as the St. Bernard Project, the Harry Tompson Center, Greenlight New Orleans, and the Lower Ninth Ward Village. The NOLA Immersion includes a critical analysis of the structures (both just and unjust) which impact the rebuilding effort. This requires engaging in difficult questions: Who is benefiting from the way things are? Who is suffering? What is my relationship to these individuals and groups? How does my faith call me to respond?
Returning to campus, the NOLA Team meets at least three times, and participants are encouraged to continue living the mission of the program and to find ways to facilitate social change within the PC community. In collaboration with BOP, the NOLA Team plans the annual NOLA Mardi Gras Celebration as a way to educate the PC community about current issues in New Orleans and to celebrate the unique culture of NOLA.
Application Process:
The applications process for the 2019-2020 NOLA Immersion is now live and will be open until 11pm on Friday, September 20th.
You can apply at prov.ly/2020nola.
The cost of the NOLA Immersion is generally $200 per participant. This includes all transportation and accommodations and most of the food during the NOLA Immersion process. Proceeds from the NOLA Meal Auction, along with donor funds and individual fundraising efforts, lower the overall cost for each participant.
Questions about the NOLA Immersion?
Questions about the NOLA Immersion should be addressed to Pamela Tremblay

Frathouse to big house: UVA students jailed for 'prank'
Four members of the University of Virginia chapter of Chi Phi fraternity have been sentenced to four days in jail in what even the prosecutor doesn't deny may have been just a prank, a long standing tradition of grabbing a fraternity brother, driving him out of town, and kicking him out of the car.
Having been arrested in September for felony counts of abduction, Jordan Davis, Gabriel Russ-Tierney, Joseph Uzetegui, and Chase Winslow, reached a plea deal with prosecutors and each pled guilty to one count of disorderly conduct on a recent Thursday afternoon.
"We thought we needed to make sure there was a conviction and a punishment," says Charlottesville Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Claude Worrell, "that would make University students think twice before grabbing someone and taking them against their will."
The sight of four University of Virginia second-years–- each wearing the blue blazer, necktie, and khaki pants that constitute the traditional uniform of a UVA fraternity brother–- laughing and smiling, seemed more typical of a football Saturday on Grounds. Instead, they were flanked by a man wearing the grey-and-black jumpsuit of the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, and a uniformed deputy sheriff, sitting in Charlottesville General District Court on March 26.
"This has gone on for decades," says the students' attorney, Bud Treakle, whose clients let him do the talking. "You grab a fraternity brother, drive him somewhere, dump him, and drive off."
So, after having been unsuccessful in their first attempt several days earlier, the four pledges grabbed their would-be brother–- second-year student and Chi Phi rush chair Ian Dominguez–- from the fraternity house one day in April 2008.
All four were pledging Chi Phi and put the elder fraternity member in the backseat of a car, and drove him away from Grounds and out of town along Route 240, and kicked him out of the car outside Crozet Pizza. They supposedly called it a "roll."
Everything had gone according to plan–- until two groups of bystanders saw what had happened and thought it anything but a harmless prank. Some citizens were walking out of nearby Three Notch'd Grill and approached Dominguez.
"One group of people went up to the alleged victim," says Treakle, "who told them he had been abducted."
Treakle tells the Hook that, in an effort to protect his pledges from a criminal investigation, Dominguez told responding police he had been abducted by unknown captors from a city sidewalk instead of hauled away from the fraternity house by four frat brothers-in-training. Once Albemarle and then Charlottesville police began investigating, it may have gotten too late to tell another story.
Perhaps unbeknownst to Dominguez, another group driving by in a car had followed the four pledges back to Grounds and called in their license plate number to Albemarle County Police.
"It is my understanding that two or three days later, the alleged victim told police that it was his four pledges, and that the whole thing was a prank," says Treakle.
Dominguez did not return the Hook's calls for comment to verify Treakle's claim.
The Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney's office vigorously pursued the case, obtained a felony charge, and on September 4, 2008, just after the start of fall semester, had the four arrested for felony abduction–- a crime punishable by up to 10 years in jail.
"My personal feeling," says Treakle, "is that it could have been resolved a long time ago, and they could have done some community service, but the Commonwealth insists on sending a message."
Treakle says that his clients decided to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, rather than plead not guilty to felony abduction and risk a conviction.
Prosecutor Worrell says Treakle is correct in ascertaining that his office wishes to send a message with this prosecution.
"Whether or not it was intended as a prank," says Worrell, "they took somebody against his will, and it was a dangerous undertaking and a criminal act. University students thinking of doing this again need to know that."
Worrell warns the next frat brothers that try to pull off a "roll" in the future will face a different fate.
"This is the last time we approach this kind of case this way," says Worrell. "Next time, if the facts and circumstances warrant it, they will be prosecuted for felonies."
The four students will serve their time starting Friday, April 17.
–updated April 6 at 11:27am. The original post stated that the four students had been indicted on the felony charge– which entails a grand jury– rather than charged by the Charlottesville magistrate. The error has been corrected.

Okay.......I'm a cop and really glad I didn't get this call, but don't blame the report writer. If the guy says he was abducted they have to write it up. This sure didn't make any news in the police world, this is the first I've heard of this case. However it has occurred in previous years and people have been given rides home before. I don't think it was ever stated they had been abducted though.
The biggest mistake these boys made was not being atheletes...That would have been an after or before hours court deal. Not with the consent of the officer.
I would like to see and FOIA inquiry as to how much money we spent prosecuting this.
Claude Worrell = budget line item to nix. Drop Worrell off in Crozet. Or at least drop him off the payroll to fend for himself in the private sector.
What's offensive to me and may have been to the Enforcer, Herr Worrell, is the lie told by the Rush Chair - creating a ruse of abduction by locals? What was he thinking? Could have resulted in some innocent's receipt of a serious beat down by our city's finest.
They should be jailed for looking like Waholes.
If we could relocate the entire campus into an active volcano, things would get much better...and a little interesting! I get sick of these yuppy pricks that live here half the year coming in and complaining about "true" locals. We live here all God ***ned year and what do you do?? Go home every summer to suck the life out of your dumb*** parents.
You can still respect the institution, and dislike the flip-flop-wearing douchebags who go there.
This "frat bro!" nonsense is cringe-worthy.
These kids should have chosen to go to trial. It would have been laughed out of court by a city jury after less than 10 minutes of deliberation. Worrell would have been doing the kids a favor by forcing a felony trial.
James Huron- perhaps frats should start donating to city council races, it seems to work for bankrupt builders.
Charlottesville at it's finest again. Oh yes, law enforcement and the the court system are totally skewed against the public. Don't you have better ways to spend your time and the public's money? Perhaps you could try to prosecute rape cases at UVa...Oh wait, isn't that still just an honor code violation? Darn those frat pranks!
Sorry about the typo above. It should read....
"The sad part about this is the fact that the city police department still has a few honest cops on board, had if it had not been for this Worrell could have gotten a conviction based on the perjury of the other cops."
OK, let me try this again and see if I can meet the standards this time. I not only saw it first hand, I have the transcript of the trial laying on my desk in front of me right now. I can prove anything I say here in The Hook topics. I don't fabricate tales as I go along. In open court, while still on record, the judge said he had never seen testimony from cops so "diametrically opposed" to one another. Those were the judge's exact words.
I think it is related to this topic because it shows the continuing trend of criminal cases that are being taken before the court by the commonwealth, cases that never should be. Why didn't the assistant commonwealth attorney know the case I mentioned was going to blow up in his face? Had he not interviewed his cop witnesses and realized that half of them weren't going to lie under oath and help him obtain a conviction? Was he hoping the judge would overlook the testimony of the cops who were there to speak the truth? Why would an assistant commonwealth's attorney even take a criminal case to court when he has have two groups of cops who are telling a totally different story?
And of course it's a matter of public record in the Charlottesville Circuit Court that one of the cops the judge spoke of when using the words "diametrically opposed" was just this past week sued for telling even more lies in a criminal investigation. Two other cops will testify under oath that the cop spoke these lies to them. The two cops at the time of course didn't know they were lies. They discovered about 6 months later that these were lies, and that these lies had in fact now jammed them up against the wall. We will see in the July 2009 civil lawsuit trial that the two cops are not willing to take the blame after having themselves been deceived and lied to by another cop.
In other words, I don't see how Claude Worrell was ever able to get these UVA students in court after the victim lied to the police. And I will never understand why the UVA students decided to accept a plea agreement. I never would have.
Another example of U.V.A. students thinking they are above local laws and another example of how U.V.A. students don't feel they need to tell the police the truth unless they themselves need the help of the local police. Thankfully we live in a city where the local cops are not only friendly and concerened with what goes on here but have a stake here as well. Thanks to all the local cops/prosecutors.
Derrick, in a recent survey it seems 46.90% of cops think they and their fellow officers are ALSO above the law. Of all people, if a cop is caught drunk driving, they should be charged and prosecuted.
See this link.....
It should also be noted that 9.66% and 11.72% say that a supervisor should make the decision to charge a cop for drunk driving or not.
The real story here is that the victim of the prank filed a false police report. He should have been dealt with accordingly but the underlying issue behind it is that he did not have the confidence in the government to handle the situation on its face. He was proven right as the Commonwealth once again wasted an immense amount of taxpayer money chasing someone who was not a menace to society and merely needed to be shown the error of his ways. The commenwealth has a year to bring forth charges and perhaps a little community service by the entire fraternity coupled with an apology would have gone a long way in making the prosecuter decide it wasn't nessasary to waste the taxpayers money when there would be no further benefit to the taxpayers (which is who they are SUPPOSED to be looking out for ANYWAY.)
The hook needs to look into how many cases are prosecuted that should be a no brainer "probation before judgment" (google it)
The Commonwealth is just trying to grow themselves by creating work.
Alum is right.
"They pranked him by driving him to Crozet. He pranked them by having them arrested and sent to jail. Someone knows how to win a prank war."
That is all.
Worrell cut a deal with the wrong person in the McGowan case as well, letting the "brains" behind that crime, Gentry, off with life in prison, THEN took the death penalty off the table for Pritchett, the other scum-bag, thus guaranteeing a trial as Pritchett has nothing to lose?! I have yet to hear a reasonable explanation for why neither of those two will get needle-in-the-arm justice. He's got a lot to learn about prosecuting if he's more aggresive with frat boys playing a prank that two cold blooded killers.
Another example of where justice is not only blind, but also brain dead (or at least developmentally slow). The entire affair was stupid, from the less than adequate investigative work by the police to the district attorney's office, leaving no confidence in the legal system. It is these types of situations that lead the ââ?¬Å?common man" to an opinion of less than trust worthy when dealing with the police and the justice system. Why do you think the alleged victim is not returning phone calls or talking to the police/ADA? Because he knows they are probably going to stick him too! But hey, do not blame Attorney Worrell completely, he was not the original ADA who gave the police the okay to go arrest the guys (btw, I hear that that attorney is no longer with the ADA), he was the guy stuck prosecuting the ridiculous case. Maybe he was volunteered for this case like it was done in the three stooges' movies; he was the guy left standing still when the other two stepped back. And yes, this situation was a waste of the local taxpayers' money!
I have been researching this case for sometime now (since first reading about it in September 2008?) and you know, even some of the so called witnesses were not exactly ââ?¬Å?clear of thought or sight". Also, each time I shared this story with a policeman I would hear something similar to ââ?¬Å?what kind of police work is this" and if I asked an attorney about the case they would invariably shoot back ââ?¬Å?where is the jurisprudence in this case?"
Lindsay what has become of Ian Dominguez? Honor code violations? Dismissal from his fraternity or his position? A Code Red?
Now I feel safe living in Charlottesville no hanky panky tolerated in our town
You would think the Commonwealth Attorney's Office would have bigger fish to fry. If not, just lay some assistant commonwealth attorneys off until some real crimes take place and they are needed.
the rush chair should plan to have his a$$ kicked for the remainder of his time in that frat. call another frat brother and have them come pick you up. if this was real prank, the guy would of been left in his underwear
The Commonwealth's Attorney should be impeached for wasting the taxpayers' dollars and for even pursuing a felony indictment for this. And for being a stone cold self-important a**hole. I mean, what a putrid, festering truckload of CRAP. And what a wasteful misappropriation of public monies and resources to prosecute...NOTHING.
Fraternity prank with no harm to anybody and the kids are given a choice: plead guilty and spend time in jail or go to trial and risk 10 years? If you want to charge them with something, make it a misdemeanor and let them do 20 hours of community service. THAT would at least be productive.
Is it any wonder that America has BY FAR the highest per capita imprisonment rate in the world? Thanks, Claude Worrell, for making the streets safe for fraternity brothers because God knows THEY need protection from themselves. Yeah, because they're selling crack and stuff. No wait - if they were doing THAT they'd be treated as first-time offenders because they had no record!!! But pull a prank, go to jail.
I expect our public officials to have at least a little bit of common sense. Clearly, I expect too much.
Does the name "Mike Wilfong" ring a bell?
Yikes wrote "What's offensive to me and may have been to the Enforcer, Herr Worrell, is the lie told by the Rush Chair - creating a ruse of abduction by locals? What was he thinking? Could have resulted in some innocent's receipt of a serious beat down by our city's finest."
That's a very good point. THAT kid deserved to be prosecuted for giving false statements to the police. But it doesn't justify going after everybody else involved.
What's important to note is that he told an incredibly harmful lie to protect his frat brothers, thus creating a false investigation that took man-hours to look into. (And how did he describe his captors, i.e. their race or class?)
This kid actually thought he'd be better off lying to the police than exposing his fraternity. The real discussion should be about the unbelievable amount of peer pressure that goes on in the Greek system-- and it isn't the good kind of peer pressure either. I've seen it first-hand, and it's serious business.
"You would think the Commonwealth's Attorney had bigger fish to fry"--
Indeed you would.
How about looking into how local builders went into mass foreclosures and screwed their subcontractors?
Fraud, anybody?
You can go hating on the students all you want to, but without UVA Charlottesville would be Lovingston. To those who say that would be better, take 29 South for about 20 minutes and turn left. Welcome home!
SOTLR - you would think, but it seems the criminal law strategy for both county and city has become "threaten them with the maximum and scare the crap out of them, then get them to plea down to a lower charge and make them do a few weekends in jail." I know several people who either have or have family members who have been arrested for a variety of relatively minor offenses - shoplifting, petty theft, possession, etc - and in all cases it was a first offense. It wasn't long ago these would have resulted in a guilty plea to a misdemeanor and probation. Every one of these people - and remember, these were first offenses - did at least 5 days in jail. One did 15.
So it used to be "go to trial and take your chances or accept probation." Now it's go to trial and take your chances or accept a week in jail." This case is a PERFECT example of this.
So people get real and stop being such cry babies boys will be boys the rush chair should not have lied he messed up and this mess would not have happend. People did the right thing and called the police heaven forbid if they did not and it was a real thing going on. Animal house and fun collage stuff goes on people so relax and chill out this was just a small thing. PS the hook sucks What trash and very one sided newspaper...
isnt lying grounds for an honor violation, after all this is 'the university'?
Todd is right: lying is an honor violation. And this lie had serious consequences. Anyone can file honor charges, not just students, and all it would take is a letter to the honor committee with this article attached. I say: kick out of office Claude "Himmler had nothing on me" Worrell for wasting resources on prosecuting a prank. Kick out the boy who apparently lied, Ian Dominguez. Put the four frat boys in jail for a few days where they will meet new friends and learn new things. This is America: everybody should suffer equally.
They pranked him by driving him to Crozet. He pranked them by having them arrested and sent to jail. Someone knows how to win a prank war.
U.V.A "Honor Code" You mean the serial number on dollar bills?
A year or so ago Claude Worrell put his name forward for a vacant judgeship in the county, thinking himself qualified. We dodged a bullet there. Isn't he aslo the one who screwed up the Beebe conviction, only finding out afterwards that pre "no-parole" rules applied, and that instead of serving several years for rape, Beebe would be out in 18 months?
Just a question. If nothing had been to the frat brothers, wouldn't you all be writing that UVA students get special treatment and do not have to pay any consequences? (I might argue that when this all happened, probably the city/county spent a lot more resources to investigate precisely because this involved UVA students. Then again, to play devil's advocate, maybe they did figure out that this was a stupid prank.)

VANCOUVER - When Naomi Moses and Élan Nattrass tied the knot last year, they likely didn't realize they were part of a booming trend of same-sex marriages in Canada.
The chance to say "I do" on Jericho Beach in front of 120 guests was an important milestone in their four-year relationship.
"Knowing you live in a place that legitimizes your relationship enough to allow you to get married is big," Moses said. "It's wonderful for us to make that commitment."
Many others obviously feel the same way. The number of married same-sex couples in Canada has more than doubled in the past five years, according to new census data released Wednesday.
But marriage as the bedrock for the Canadian family doesn't appear to be as big a deal for everyone.
While married couples are still the norm — representing two-thirds of families across the country — their numbers are not growing. Despite a rising overall population, the number of married couples in Canada has actually declined by more than 132,000 in the past decade.
By comparison, the number of common-law couples rose by 13.8 per cent over the same period, while single-parent families jumped by eight per cent, and stepfamilies (counted for the first time in the 2011 census) now represent about one in eight couples with children.
"It's goodbye Leave it to Beaver, for sure," said Mary Ann Murphy, who teaches sociology of the family at UBC's Okanagan campus.
Of the 9.3 million Canadian families recorded in the Census 2011, just 6.3 million consisted of married couples. The shift means that common-law couples now account for 17 per cent of all families, and single-parent families now represent 16 per cent of the total.
Murphy said one of the most surprising findings of the census was the number of young adults who don't appear to be interested in marriage at a young age.
"They don't feel the pressure to couple up," she said. "Most of them aren't in a relationship at all, or are waiting longer to get married. The biggest question is are they afraid of commitment or are they being careful?"
But not all areas of B.C. are giving up on marriage. Of the nation's 33 census metropolitan areas, the highest proportion of married couples were in Abbotsford-Mission (75.7 per cent) and Vancouver (73.8 per cent).
Nora Spinks, CEO of the Vanier Institute of the Family, said Wednesday the latest census data shows that as the country's demographic diversifies, so does the nature of the Canadian family.
She said the growth of multi-generational families and step-families — also known as "blended families" — brings new challenges.
"We are less focused on what families look like," Spinks said, "as opposed to how people are navigating these new, complex, sometimes chaotic relationships."
Spinks said the move away from formally married families can be attributed to a range of factors: fewer people are involved in organized religion, which brings pressure to marry; a generation of young people who saw their parents get divorced and may not want to live through the same experience; and many people are leaving school with huge debts and can't bear the thought of a costly wedding.
So they opt instead for common-law relationships.
Spinks cautioned against concluding that this trend is in any way harming society.
"We are seeing, right now, people engaging in committed relationships the same as we have always seen before."
Burnaby nurse Marta Aldana, 26, agreed, saying young people are living in a different era than their parents and grandparents. "It doesn't matter if you're single or married," she said. "Now we're taking care of ourselves."
The census also highlighted another rapidly growing trend in Canada — that of same-sex marriages.
Statistics Canada counted 21,015 married gay and lesbian couples and another 43,560 in common-law relationships — a sizable jump from the 2006 census, which counted same-sex couples for the first time and enumerated 45,345 of them: 7,465 married and 37,885 common-law.
Moses, 28, maintains Vancouver's established gay communities make it easy for same-sex couples to live, get married and raise families here, and said many of her friends are also tying the knot. "It's very popular among the people we know," she said.
She and Nattrass would also one day like to start their own family, but like many young people, she wants to finish a law degree before she considers a baby.
"In the urban centre of Vancouver, it's very acceptable, but you don't have to go far outside Vancouver to find a pocket of fierce intolerance," she said. "Marriage, I see it as something really important once you have the basic rights established. Psychologically, it makes a huge difference. You're recognized by the law even if society doesn't always accept you."

*Update: Thanks to everyone who entered. Once we've determined who the winner is, and successfully contacted them, we'll announce it in the very near future.
Bundling up in layers of sweaters, coats, gloves, mitts and scarves is only so effective when it comes to battling the frigid temperatures that have descended upon many parts of the country. The best way to deal with the cold is to simply not deal with it by staying inside and waiting for Spring's arrival. But then you run the risk of going stir-crazy, unless you have something to occupy your mind… like a new toy! So we're teaming up with AT&T to provide one of our lucky readers with a brand new HTC Inspire 4G. If all this isn't enough to distract you until warmer temperatures arrive, then I'm afraid nothing will:
– Enjoy the speed of the robust 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, and store the documents, pictures, music, and video you need using the 4GB internal memory and included 8GB microSD card.
– The 4.3″ super LCD capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 480×800 for beautifully sharp images.
– Running on Android 2.2, the Inspire 4G can be customized with thousands of applications from Android Market.
– You can capture important moments with the powerful 8 MP camera equipped with autofocus, dual LED flash, and HD video recording.
– The HTC Hi-Fi Experience enriches your multimedia with dual mics for noise cancellation, Dolby®, and SRS® WOW HD surround-sound effects.
– HTC Sense 2.0 provides a custom user interface for enhanced social networking, navigation, and integration with connected services from HTCsense.com.
– The Inspire 4G includes Mobile Hotspot** support when used with a DataPro with Tethering plan, allowing you to share your connection with up to five devices.
But what's inspired AT&T to be so generous to one of our lucky readers? Well that's a good question. As you're probably already aware, a certain Cupertino-designed phone has recently become available from another carrier in the United States. And while there are some advantages to using the iPhone on Verizon's CDMA network, the siren's call isn't all it's cracked up to be.
If you've been using an iPhone on AT&T for a number of years now you've probably grown accustomed to talking to people while surfing the web at the same time. Well unfortunately that luxury is only available on AT&T's network with the iPhone, and if you think that's something you can't live without, AT&T would like you to head on over to their Talk and Surf Challenge on their Facebook page and let your voice be heard. So not only are we giving you the chance to win an HTC Inspire 4G, but there's also the chance of you garnering a little web publicity from AT&T's million+ Facebook fans.
You'll find the contest specifics after the jump, including how to enter, but those of you who've participated in our giveaways before should already be familiar with what it entails.
How to enter: We're keeping it simple this time again. To enter all you need to do is leave a comment on this article. And to better your chances you're welcome to come back and leave a new comment every day until the contest is over. Just be aware that if you leave multiple comments in the same day, all but one will be deleted before the winner is declared. As to what you want to say, well we'll leave that part up to you. Tell us what you'd do with a new HTC Inspire 4G, tell us what you had for lunch, just keep it interesting.
What am I winning again?: A brand spanking new HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T. Now it doesn't come with service, so if you're not already an AT&T subscriber you will have to sign up for the requisite contracts and data plans associated with the Inspire 4G, minus the cost of the smartphone itself of course.
Timeframe: The contest starts today, February 11, 2011, and will end a week from now at midnight on February 18, 2011. (So next Friday night.) And if you're not sure when that is specifically given the time zones across the country, just make sure to get your comments in well before the deadline. Don't worry about getting them in at the last minute, I promise it will not help your chances. At midnight the comments will be closed and the winner will be chosen via Random.org.
Eligibility: We've said it before and we'll say it again, while we love all of our readers around the world equally, because this contest is being sponsored by AT&T I'm afraid we're going to have to limit it to only residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age at the time of entry.
Good luck!

Sorry, ladies -- Levi Johnston is keeping his hockey stick under wraps.
Bristol Palin's baby daddy won't be baring it all in "Playgirl," despite rumors he'd go full-frontal for the spread, magazine reps said Monday.
"He did not give 'full frontal' as his manager Tank reported he would," "Playgirl" spokesman Daniel Nardicio told the New York Daily News.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them, but although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity," Nardicio told the News.
Levi poses in the mag with a hockey stick -- the 19-year-old Alaskan is an avid player.
Sarah Palin mocked Levi's Hollywood turn on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Monday, saying she's "praying" for her daughter's ex-boyfriend and the father of her grandson Tripp.
"I hear he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now. So if that's the case, we don't want to mess up his gig he's got going," Palin said.
Johnston and Bristol Palin split earlier this year after the birth of their son, who was conceived during Palin's vice-presidential campaign.
Johnston was paid upwards of $100,000 for the "Playgirl" shoot.

Esperanzas contribution to the Orphée Patrol leaves for Orphée. It will be travelling via New Colchis. The group consists of nine vessels with a total displacement of almost 130,000t.
A diplomatic mission leaves in two courier vessels to attend the disarmament conference on Joyeuse.
New terrorist outrages destroy Naval fuel facilities. Esperanzan Freedom Army claims responsibility.
The Esperanzan Freedom Army (EFA), a terrorist organisation which is believed to have extensive support from the Joyeuse government, today made an official statement (by unmarked video-chip to all major TV stations) that;
As the new government of our world is even more repressive than the last, and since the Navy is the principal instrument of that repression, we consider that all Naval installations and personnel are legitimate targets in our war against repression. As it is our wish to preserve the lives of as many innocent civilians as possible, we will target the main thrust of our new campaign on the refueling and refining facilities which keep the Oppressors ships in our skies.
Although most stations obeyed government directives to turn over such messages to the authorities, some did show the message. It was transmitted to perhaps 30% of the world's population.
Three hours after the messages were broadcast four fuel tankage areas and two refinery complexes at various sites across the planet were damaged or partially destroyed by bomb blasts. Millions of credits of damage were caused.
A police spokesman said that extra personnel were being detailed to protect such facilities. The culprits are still being sought.
