Superheroes are fantasies of invulnerability, even more than they are fantasies of omnipotence. They're a dream of not being hurtable, a dream we have because we are all so easily injured. It's difficult now to watch the classic Superman films starring Christopher Reeve as the invincible hero without remembering what happened to him.
In May 1995, while showjumping, Reeve's horse checked at a fence and he fell off. Somehow the reins tied his hands together and he landed straight on his head and crushed his first two neck vertebrae so badly that his skull and spine were no longer connected. Despite his determination to recover and heroic campaigning on behalf of those with spinal injuries, he remained almost completely paralysed and died of septicaemia, leading to a heart attack, in 2004, aged 52.
There are no men of steel, much as we might as children love to dream otherwise, and there's a pretty complete disconnect too between film reviewers, wearied by the unstoppable flow of superheroes over the past few years, and the fanbase. At the press screening of this treat, where the nations' reviewers were gathered in a single sitting, there was a notable air of weariness, even depression, because these critics know from experience that anything less than wild enthusiasm enrages the fans and leads to demands for their dismissal, or worse, being posted.
There isn't really any grown-up way of subscribing to the superhero ethos but it's not very politic to observe time and again that these movies must be great fun for 12-year-olds either. What to do? Most reviewers find what interest they can in the earlier part of the film, noting how it plays on the familiar story and then just throw up their hands when it comes to the biffing — but the biffing is ultimately the point of the film for the fans.
Man of Steel, then, is the Superman origins story, rebooted under another name. Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) directs and Christopher Nolan (the Batman trilogy, Inception) co-produces, so this is the business in terms of pure spectacle. It's flashy, loud and much more science-fictiony, even war-of-the-worldsy, in feel than previous superhero movies. It takes itself completely seriously, which is what the fans have always wanted, and it's going to be a box office smash.
You know the basics? The planet Krypton is dying. Formidable scientist Jor-El (Russell Crowe, ever so grave but still up to a good bit of whacking) dispatches his baby boy Kal-El to Earth to save his life, despite the raging opposition of General Zod (Michael Shannon, glaring horribly under a tufty pepper and salt fringe). "He'll be an outcast and a freak," his mother worries. "No, he'll be a god to them," Jor-El tells her.
Kal is brought up as Clark Kent by a kindly Kansas couple (Kevin Costner, convincingly blue-collar, and Diane Lane), who live on a lovely old farm, filmed as an idyllic vision of America's rural past, straight out of Norman Rockwell or possibly Terrence Malick, if there's any difference.
At school one day, young Clark freaks out when his X-ray vision overwhelms him — but Mom talks him down and Dad warns him against revealing his miraculous powers too soon. "You have to keep this side of yourself a secret," he advises, the script by David S Goyer not eschewing the obvious.
Clark becomes a bit of an aimless drifter, troubled about his identity, only occasionally rescuing people in deadly peril, until one day another ancient Krypton vessel is discovered deep in the ice and its technology allows Kal's real dad to appear to him, rather wordily explain his origins and kit him out in the red cape and boots, and a scaly jumpsuit, but sadly not the emphatic scarlet pants toted by Reeve.
The discovery also brings him into contact with the intrepid, indeed Pulitzer-winning, reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams, extraordinarily pert-nosed but otherwise not much developed as a character).
Unfortunately, activating the spaceship attracts the attention of General Zod, who arrives with his henchmen in a craft that looks like a very large Philippe Starck lemon squeezer, and demands the Earth surrender Superman or else. It's a quandary for Kal. "Zod can't be trusted — the trouble is, I'm not sure the people of Earth can either," our hero muses, summing up his problems concisely.
As Superman, Henry Cavill (30, Jersey-born, Stowe-educated, the Duke of Suffolk in The Tudors, otherwise not much seen before) is pretty fetching — a touch wooden, perhaps — but in a man of steel that rates as sensitivity. He certainly has the most amazingly impressive, apparently genuine and not prosthetically enhanced torso, alas, seen properly just the once, so don't blink. He'll be back, for sure.
Man of Steel looks different from other superhero adventures, being filmed close-up from dramatic angles, often from handheld cameras — which, on the downside, means the 3D is retrofitted and inconsequential. It has some great alien tech design, drawing on trilobites and other creepy fossils, and there's enough crashing through buildings, explosions and general zooming about to satisfy the most demanding fan and sate anybody less committed.
Although there's plenty of military hardware in this film, it soon becomes apparent that the real contest must be between Superman and Zod and their main form of combat emerges as charging at each other at top speed and then ricocheting off, crashing right through the city's skyscrapers (the massive destruction wrought here is again distinctively post 9/11, Hollywood now freely drawing on that imagery).
Once it has become clear that Superman can't be harmed by any amount of bashing, and that these fights are all CGI anyway, the titanic biffings become numbing. Even as escapist fantasy, they cease to compel. Film-makers can now give us more or less convincing spectacle on a scale that just wasn't possible when Christopher Reeve was pretending to fly through the air. But we still need a story we can believe in, they forget.

The Yankees have not reached out to Aubrey Huff

I guess Aubrey Huff knows where he stands in the universe. Brian Cashman said yesterday they'd be interested in Derek Lee, Scott Rolen, Chipper Jones and, in keeping with the "old guys who really don't play anymore" thing, likely kicked the tires on Charlie Hayes. But not Huff:
Out of curiosity, asked if the Yankees had reached out to Aubrey Huff. Answer: "No." So there is that.

I imagine he's OK with that. But once Wade Boggs and Graig Nettles get calls, Huff is likely to feel slighted.

Gift Phiri | 04 Aug 2014 11:13 GMT | Health, US & Canada, Canada, Singapore, South Africa
Harare, Zimbabwe - The separation of conjoined twin boys born with a shared liver after an eight-hour operation, and after overcoming a string of obstacles including a collapsed healthcare system, has become an unusual piece of good news here in the capital.
Joined from the breastbone to the pelvis, the twins, born at a district hospital in Murehwa four months ago, seem to be thriving and have a good shot at a normal life, said Dr Bothwell Mbuwayesango, a paediatric surgeon who led a team of 50 healthcare personnel in the operation.
The twins probably would have died as toddlers had the surgery, conducted on July 1, not been done, the surgeon explained.
The successful separation of Kupakwashe and Tapiwanashe Chitiyo is being hailed as a "medical breakthrough" for the impoverished southern African country, but critics say it has been used as "propaganda fodder" by the ruling regime.
The story has saturated news coverage here and spurred "ambitious" talk that Zimbabwe's ailing health sector could become an "oasis of medical tourism where it will make sense for those in the region to start here [rather] than in Canada", according to David Parirenyatwa, health and child care minister.Presidential visit
No such surgery had been performed before in this country, and politicians are using this case as a unique opportunity to prove that Zimbabwe is turning a corner.
It has also stirred heated debate in parliament about top politicians, including President Robert Mugabe, who regularly seek medical attention abroad while neglecting the local medical facilities.On July 16, Reggie Moyo, an opposition MP, asked the minister of health and child care in parliament "whether the historical success of the separation of the twins ... in our health institution serves as assurance that our health delivery system is now well, and we shall not see senior members of government and the public going to seek medical attention outside Zimbabwe?"
You have done us real proud, the world will be talking about us. Some will not believe because they just do not want to believe it but the rest of the world will believe because Zimbabweans, wherever they are outside the world, are known to be best performers.
- Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's president
Mugabe regularly travels to Singapore for what his spin-doctors claim is "routine check-ups" for cataracts, and in May was photographed entering the top-notch Gleneagles Hospital with his wife, Grace.
The Zimbabwean president, Africa's oldest leader, visited the boys at the state-run Harare Hospital on July 10, and said his government - re-elected to an eighth term last July amid claims of vote fraud by the opposition - will prioritise funding the health sector.
"You have done us real proud, the world will be talking about us," the 90-year-old president said.
"Some will not believe because they just do not want to believe it, but the rest of the world will believe because Zimbabweans, wherever they are outside the world, are known to be best performers.
"It doesn't matter where they are, our people distinguish themselves but this distinction now right here, in the heart of Zimbabwe, in this God-given hospital, is something unbelievable. That's why I call it a mystery."
He said it was nothing short of a miracle that the surgery was conducted successfully while his government was under Western sanctions.
The country's nursing schools produce over 500 graduates every year, but recruitment of new nurses - as with other public-sector jobs - has been frozen since 2009 as the government battles a high wage bill that is gobbling up 73 percent of the national budget, according to Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa.
The 500 nurses graduating from government institutions every year cannot do their practical training because of the freeze. As a result, it takes them much longer to get into active employment, a situation that is not of their own making, they say.
Mugabe said health should be the treasury's top priority.
"Defence yes, but people's lives must trump everything else," he added.
Harare Hospital, where the surgery was performed, is experiencing acute shortages of drugs, with doctors unable to dispense any medicine and largely reduced to writing prescriptions for patients to buy drugs at private pharmacies. Most of the state hospitals are poorly equipped with old and obsolete equipment that urgently need replacement. Doctors at most state hospitals generally lack the tools of the trade, health personnel say.Shortage of drugs
Paul Chimedza, the deputy minister of health and child care, told parliament on July 16 that his ministry was aware that there was a medicine shortage and admitted that "the government does not have the resources".
"We get most of our medicines from NatPharm and at the moment NatPharm does not have the capacity to buy medicines in bulk," Chimedza said, referring to the procurement agency for medicines and other medical supplies for the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare.
Dewa Mavhinga, senior researcher for Southern Africa at Human Rights Watch, said it was a "gross exaggeration" to call the separation of the conjoined twins a "medical breakthrough".
"Real medical breakthroughs include South Africa being the first country globally to have a successful heart transplant with many more being carried out without much noise about it."
But Itai Rusike, executive director of the Community Working Group on Health (CWGH) - a network of civic organisations that aims to collectively enhance community participation in health in Zimbabwe, said the surgery could signal a turning point for the health sector.
"The praise by … Mugabe to the Zimbabwe medical team that successfully separated the conjoined twins is very welcome and encouraging as it may result in a sustained political will that is urgently needed in reviving the fortunes of the public health system that has been on a decline for over a decade now," Rusike said.
Rusike was, however, quick to warn that government should live up to all its international obligations.
Health experts say only 25 percent or fewer of conjoined twins survive, and often one twin must be sacrificed to save the other, depending on which organs they share. Kupakwashe and Tapiwanashe were born facing each other, connected from the from the pelvis to the breastbone.
Real medical breakthroughs include South Africa being the first country globally to have a successful heart transplant with many more being carried out without much noise about it.
- Dewa Mavhinga, senior researcher for Southern Africa at Human Rights Watch
A homegrown effort
Their father, Moses Chitiyo, 45, is a vendor on a farm in the village in Murehwa, in northern Zimbabwe.
Their mother, Agnes Mongoro, 25, is a housewife and had planned to give birth at home as is customary in much of rural Zimbabwe, but was taken to the nearest district hospital when complications developed. When the conjoined twins were born, doctors sent the family by bus to Harare.
Paediatricians got help from local donors and drug companies and Dr Mbuwayesango believed an operation to divide them would succeed.
He helped arrange for the hospital to do the operation - for free - and for several charities to help support the Chitiyo family.
The operation finally took place on July 1, with 40 staffers in the operating room and the rest providing support services.
"There is no one surgeon, nurse or anaesthetist who can separate Siamese twins," Mbuwayesango told reporters.
"We had a team of 50, plus or minus, comprising of nurses, doctors, cleaners, cooks etc. We needed everybody to be able to separate them properly. We did not get any help from outside of the country."
Almost three weeks later, they squirm and squeal in their parents' arms.
"They are feeding and breathing on their own," Mbuwayesango said. "They are active, happy and they look strong."
Mbuwayesango foresees no major problems.
"They will be normal, happy boys."

Tests and procedures to stage small intestine cancer are usually done at the same time as diagnosis.
Staging is used to find out how far the cancer has spread, but treatment decisions are not based on stage. See the General Information section for a description of tests and procedures used to detect, diagnose, and stage small intestine cancer.

Laetrile is a compound that contains a chemical called amygdalin. Amygdalin is found in the pits of many fruits, raw nuts, and plants (see Question 1). It is believed that the active anticancer ingredient in laetrile is cyanide (see Question 1). Laetrile is given by mouth as a pill or by intravenous injection (see Question 4). Laetrile has shown little anticancer effect in laboratory studies, animal studies, or human studies (see Question 5 and Question 6). The side effects of laetrile...
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
- Through tissue. Cancer invades the surrounding normal tissue.
- Through the lymph system. Cancer invades the lymph system and travels through the lymph vessels to other places in the body.
- Through the blood. Cancer invades the veins and capillaries and travels through the blood to other places in the body.
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
Small intestine cancer is grouped according to whether or not the tumor can be completely removed by surgery.
Treatment depends on whether the tumor can be removed by surgery and if the cancer is being treated as a primary tumor or is metastatic cancer.

A former Long Island attorney whose clients have included Joey Buttafuoco has been charged with harassing, stalking and attempting to extort $200,000 from his ex-wife.
Dominic Barbara pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday.
It was the second time in three months that the 67-year-old Barbara has been arrested.
In September he entered a not guilty plea on a misdemeanor charge that he violated an order of protection. Police alleged he sent a text-message to a law firm representing his ex-wife, Leslie Barbara.
Barbara was suspended from practicing law in 2011 after being found guilty of professional misconduct.
Buttafuoco served jail time for statutory rape after his 1990s affair with "Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher.

Meet the Author
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (27 January 1832 - 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. His most famous writings are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, as well as the poems "The Hunting of the Snark" and "Jabberwocky", all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, and there are societies in many parts of the world (including the United Kingdom, Japan, the United States, and New Zealand) dedicated to the enjoyment and promotion of his works and the investigation of his life.
Artistic activities
From a young age, Dodgson wrote poetry and short stories, both contributing heavily to the family magazine Mischmasch and later sending them to various magazines, enjoying moderate success. Between 1854 and 1856, his work appeared in the national publications, The Comic Times and The Train, as well as smaller magazines like the Whitby Gazette and the Oxford Critic. Most of this output was humorous, sometimes satirical, but his standards and ambitions were exacting. "I do not think I have yet written anything worthy of real publication (in which I do not include the Whitby Gazette or the Oxonian Advertiser), but I do not despair of doing so some day," he wrote in July 1855. Sometime after 1850, he did write puppet plays for his siblings' entertainment, of which one has survived, La Guida di Bragia.
In 1856 he published his first piece of work under the name that would make him famous. A romantic poem called "Solitude" appeared in The Train under the authorship of "Lewis Carroll". This pseudonym was a play on his real name; Lewis was the anglicised form of Ludovicus, which was the Latin for Lutwidge, and Carroll an Irish surname similar to the Latin name Carolus, from which comes the name Charles. The transition went as follows: "Charles Lutwidge" translated into Latin as "Carolus Ludovicus". This was then translated back into English as "Carroll Lewis" and then reversed to make "Lewis Carroll".

Read an Excerpt
ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do. Once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it - "And what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! oh dear! I shall be too late!" (When she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural.) But when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat pocket, and looked at it and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat pocket or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down - so suddenly, that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything. Then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and bookshelves: here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled "ORANGE MARMALADE," but to her great disappointment it was empty. She did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
"Well!" thought Alice to herself, "after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling downstairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!" (Which was very likely true.) Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? "I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?" she said aloud. "I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think." (For, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over.) "Yes, that's about the right distance. But then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?" (Alice had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but she thought they were nice, grand words to say.)
Presently she began again. "I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think" - (she was rather glad there was no one listening this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) - "but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know - please, ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?" (and she tried to curtsy as she spoke - fancy curtsying as you're falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) "And what an ignorant little girl she'll think me for asking! No, it'll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere."
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. "Dinah'll miss me very much to-night, I should think!" (Dinah was the cat.) "I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. - Dinah, my dear, I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know. - But do cats eat bats, I wonder?" And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, "Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?" and sometimes, "Do bats eat cats?" for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to her very earnestly, "Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?" when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment. She looked up, but it was all dark overhead. Before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost. Away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, "Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!" She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

In a dissenting opinion in Glossip v. Gross, Justice Stephen Breyer (pictured), joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, provided a sweeping analysis of why he believes the death penalty in the United States may be unconstitutional and called for a "full briefing" on "whether the death penalty violates the Constitution." Justice Breyer wrote that "Nearly 40 years ago, this Court upheld the death penalty under statutes that, in the Court's view, contained safeguards sufficient to ensure that the penalty would be applied reliably and not arbitrarily. . . . The circumstances and the evidence of the death penalty's application have changed radically since then." Justice Breyer said "those changes, taken together with my own 20 years of experience on this Court, . . . lead me to believe that the death penalty, in and of itself, now likely constitutes a legally prohibited 'cruel and unusual punishmen[t].'" Citing DPIC's resources for many of the historical facts underlying his opinion, Justice Breyer catalogued what he described as "three fundamental constitutional defects" in the administration of the death penalty today that may make it cruel and unusual punishment.
Death row in Texas has shrunk from 460 men and women at its peak in 1999 to 260 today. The main reason for that drop, according to an article in The Texas Tribune, is the dramatic decline in death sentences imposed in the state. In 1999 alone, Texas sentenced 48 people to death. But in the first 6 months of 2015, no death sentences have been imposed in Texas. This development is unprecedented, according to the Texas Defender Service (TDS). "This is the longest we've gone in a calendar year in Texas without a new death sentence," said Kathryn Kase, director of TDS. Kase said that a major factor contributing to the decline in death sentences is Texas' adoption of life without parole in 2005. "Life without parole allows us to go back and reverse our mistakes," Kase said. "We can be really safe in these cases." In the decade since life without parole became a sentencing option, Texas has averaged about 10 death sentences per year. In the prior decade, an average of 34 people were sent to death row each year. The Tribune reports that "Between 2007 and 2014, the number of life-without-parole sentences jumped from 37 to 96." Three death penalty cases have been tried in Texas so far this year, and all three resulted in sentences of life without parole.
Michelle Byrom (pictured, seated) was released from prison in Mississippi on June 26 after spending 16 years behind bars, 14 of them on death row, for the murder of her husband. Byrom maintains her innocence for the crime, but agreed to an Alford plea -- which means that she pleaded no contest to the charges against her -- in exchange for her release. In 2014, the Mississippi Supreme Court reversed Byrom's conviction and death sentence and ordered a new trial, citing numerous problems in her case. Byrom's attorneys failed to present any mitigating evidence, and the jury was never told that Byrom's son, Junior, had confessed to killing his father. Junior initially told police that his mother had hired someone to kill his father, but later wrote in a letter, "You are all I have, and they're trying to take that away from me now, but Mom I'm gonna tell you right now who killed Dad 'cause I'm sick and tired of all the lies. I did, and it wasn't for money, it wasn't for all the abuse — it was because I can't kill myself." Junior pleaded guilty to conspiring in the murder, was sentenced to 30 years, and received a supervised release in 2013. John White, one of Byrom's attorneys, said of her release, "It's been a long arduous journey. The outcome is appropriate, given the history of the case."
Glenn Ford, who was exonerated last year after spending almost 30 years on Louisiana's death row, died of lung cancer on June 29 at the age of 65. At the time of his release, Ford was the nation's longest-serving death row exoneree. Just hours after his death, Ford's case was cited in the dissenting opinion of Justice Breyer in Glossip v. Gross, as providing "striking" evidence "that the death penalty has been wrongly imposed." Justice Breyer mentioned innocence, prosecutorial wrongdoing, the length of time inmates spend on death row, and the unreliability of capital convictions among the reasons why he now "believe[s] it highly likely that the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment." In 1984, Ford was convicted of murder on the testimony of a witness who later said police had helped her make up her story. Ford's attorney had never tried a case before a jury. After Ford's exoneration, the lead prosecutor on his case, A.M. "Marty" Stroud III, issued a public apology. He expressed his belief in Ford's complete innocence, saying, "There was no technicality here. Crafty lawyering did not secure the release of a criminal...Pursuant to the review and investigation of cold homicide cases, investigators uncovered evidence that exonerated Mr. Ford. Indeed, this evidence was so strong that had it been disclosed during of the investigation there would not have been sufficient evidence to even arrest Mr. Ford!" Stroud urged the state to grant Ford compensation for his wrongful conviction, but no compensation was granted before Ford's death.
Gary Clements, Director of the Capital Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana, tells DPIC that "At 2:11 [Monday] morning, Glenn slipped away very quietly and peacefully. He was held and surrounded by people who cared about him, and was listening to a song he loved."
On June 29, the U.S. Supreme Court held (5-4) in Glossip v. Gross that Oklahoma inmates "failed to establish a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that the use of midazolam violates the Eighth Amendment." Three inmates on Oklahoma's death row had challenged the state's use of midazolam as the first drug in a three-drug protocol, saying that it "fails to render a person insensate to pain." In a narrow decision written by Justice Samuel Alito, the Court deferred to a District Court ruling upholding the use of midazolam. Justice Alito said that, in order to prevail, the inmates would have had to identify a "known and available alternative method" that has a lower risk of pain. The decision will allow states that use midazolam, including Oklahoma, to resume executions, though they can still consider alternatives. In a sweeping dissenting opinion raising deep concerns about the death penalty itself, Justice Stephen Breyer, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, said, "I would ask for full briefing on a more basic question: whether the death penalty violates the Constitution....Today's administration of the death penalty involves three fundamental constitutional defects: (1) serious unreliability, (2) arbitrariness in application, and (3) unconscionably long delays that undermine the death penalty's penological purpose. Perhaps as a result, (4) most places within the United States have abandoned its use."
Lester Bower was executed in Texas on June 3 despite maintaining his innocence throughout the 30 years he spent on death row. The evidence of Bower's innocence included testimony from a woman who said that her boyfriend and three of his friends -- not Bower -- had committed the murders for which Bower was executed. The witness came forward in 1989, after reading that Bower had been sentenced to death for the crime her boyfriend had confessed to committing six years earlier. In 2012, a judge rejected Bower's request to present the testimony to a jury, saying, "the new evidence produced by the defendant could conceivably have produced a different result at trial...it does not prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is actually innocent." Maurice Possley, a senior researcher for the National Registry of Exonerations, explained the judge's decision: "He points out in pretty clear terms that this guy probably would have been found not guilty had this evidence been available at trial. But now, all these years later, he can't meet the new standard, which is actual innocence. That was not the standard at trial. Then it was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." Samuel Gross, editor and co-founder of the registry, said, "To me it's one of the most troubling features of our justice system. In the absence of procedural error, you have no effective escape valve. We don't have a procedure for reviewing convictions for accuracy."
In an interview with The Marshall Project, Bryan Stevenson (pictured), director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy, discussed the role the history of slavery, lynchings, and racial terrorism in the South played in the racially-motivated killings of nine black people in an historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. In the interview, Stevenson described the historical use of the death penalty as a tool to reinforce a racially discriminatory social order. This, he says, is manifest in race-of-victim disparities in death penalty cases: "In Alabama, 65% of all murder victims are black, but 80% of all death sentences are imposed [when victims] are white. And that's true throughout this country. We've used it particularly aggressively when minority defendants are accused of killing white people." Occasionally, he says, states will seek the death penalty for a white man accused of a racially-motivated murder, masking the need for an open and honest discussion of this country's race problems. "You'll see lots of people talking enthusiastically about imposing the death penalty on this young man in South Carolina. But that's a distraction from the larger issue, which is that we've used the death penalty to sustain racial hierarchy by making it primarily a tool to reinforce the victimization of white people." Given its historical legacy as tool of racial oppression, Stevenson urges the abolition of the death penalty, saying, "If I were the governor of South Carolina, I'd say: 'We're going to abolish the death penalty, because we have a history of lynching and terror that has demonized and burdened people of color in this state since we've became a state.'...And I think every southern governor should do the same. That's when you'd get the different conversations starting in this country. Then you might get some progress."
This fall, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a Georgia case, Foster v. Humphrey, in which an all-white jury sentenced a black man to death after prosecutors struck every black prospective juror in the case. The Court will determine whether prosecutors violated the Court's 1986 decision in Batson v. Kentucky, which banned the practice of dismissing potential jurors on the basis of race. In anticipation of the case, The New Yorker published an analysis of tactics used to evade Batson challenges by providing race-neutral reasons for striking jurors. In Philadelphia, a training video told new prosecutors, "When you do have a black juror, you question them at length. And on this little sheet that you have, mark something down that you can articulate later. . . . You may want to ask more questions of those people so it gives you more ammunition to make an articulable reason as to why you are striking them, not for race." In the 1990s, prosecutors in North Carolina -- whose use of peremptory strikes have been held to violate that state's Racial Justice Act -- held training sessions featuring a handout titled, "Batson Justifications: Articulating Juror Negatives." Defense attorneys can challenge these reasons, but such challenges are rarely successful. Stephen Bright, president of the Southern Center for Human Rights, who is representing Foster, said, "You're asking the judge to say that the prosecutor intentionally discriminated on the basis of race, and that he lied about it. That's very difficult psychologically for the average judge." Justice Thurgood Marshall recommended banning peremptory strikes so as to stop racial bias in jury selection. Louisiana Capital Assistance Center director Richard Bourke suggests a more politically realistic reform: track the racial makeup of juries in order to raise public awareness of bias.

EasyJet reports surging profits and doubles its dividend
EasyJet reported surging profits and doubled its dividend, handing founder and critic-in-chief Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou a £32m windfall.
Pre-tax earnings leapt by 28 per cent to £317m on the back of revenue that grew by nearly 12 per cent to £3.8bn.
Crucially, the no-frills airline's planes were 88.7 per cent full, up a percentage point on last year, with many passengers booking late and paying higher fares as a result.
Join the queue: easyJet's popularity was boosted, particularly among the elderly, by a shift to allocated seating rather than the free-for-all that existed before
In total, easyJet (up 39.5p to 692p)
flew 7.1 per cent more passengers at 58.4m, helping it offset a £182m
increase in its fuel costs.
executive Carolyn McCall said easyJet's popularity was boosted,
particularly among the elderly, by a shift to allocated seating rather
than the free-for-all that existed before. 'Older people really didn't
enjoy the way we boarded our planes,' she admitted.
She also highlighted a boost from businesses looking to cut costs, with new clients including the Ministry of Defence and Houses of Parliament.
profit allowed McCall to change policy on dividends, now calculated as a
third of net profit. It triggered a 21.5p-per-share payout that will
see founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and his family pocket £32m for
their 37 per cent stake.
spokesman for Stelios said he was pleased with the higher dividend,
which he has been lobbying for, as well as signs that easyJet has no
immediate plans to order new aircraft. He also welcomed a change in the
way the firm calculates a key measure used to calculate board bonuses.
his long-running campaign against chairman Sir Michael Rake continued,
with a spokesman claiming Rake was too stretched as chairman of BT and a
board member at Barclays.
Insiders at easyJet said Rake was very involved in the day-to-day running of the airline.

As millions put the cost of Christmas on credit cards study shows third of balance transfer customers can't pay debts during 0% period
A third of people who take out balance transfer credit cards have such high debt levels that they fail to pay off what they owe within the 0 per cent interest periods, a study has claimed.
Even though fierce competition has pushed zero per cent interest periods offered by providers up to 29 months, market researchers Consumer Intelligence found that 34 per cent don't clear their card debts in time to avoid paying interest on them.
Around one in three shoppers are expecting to use their credit cards for Christmas spending this December, and the statistics suggest a significant number of them would end up paying interest on this even if they took out a 0 per cent balance transfer card.
Festive risk: Many of us will use credit cards to cover Christmas costs, but even balance transfer cards don't always help people pay off their debts on time.
Consumer Intelligence found that on average people are left with a balance of £2,400 by the end of the 0 per cent time limit, while some are entering into the deals knowing they probably won't be able to clear their debt in time.
Worryingly, around one in five people admit that their 0 per cent introductory rates were terminated because they were either late with a payment or missed one entirely.
This can see customers suddenly starting to accrue interest on the entire balance, and the rate of interest they pay is often much higher than they would have been paying had the 0 per cent period ended without missed payments.
Balance transfer cards are a useful product for those who have built up credit card debts, and can particularly come in handy after the Christmas period when spending on credit card increases.
Consumer Intelligence estimates around two-fifths of credit card customers have applied for balance transfer cards in the past two years, looking to take advantage of the increasingly generous 0 per cent balance transfer periods on offer.
|Virgin Money
|Lloyds Bank
Barclaycard is the market leader at the moment, offering the top two deals with 28 and 29-month zero interest balance transfer cards.
All customers who take one of the cards have to do is keep up with the minimum monthly payments to avoid activating interest, but as Consumer Intelligence found, 20 per cent fail to do this.
Of these people, 40 per cent said they were late with a monthly payment, 21 per cent missed their payment entirely, 10 per cent paid less than they were meant to, while 6 per cent exceed the card's limit.
A further 23 per cent meanwhile had no idea why they were suddenly being charged interest.
David Black, of Consumer Intelligence, said: 'Zero per cent balance transfer deals can be a significant help for people trying to cut debts and interest rate charges and the longer the deals become the better they are for customers although it's worth taking account of the balance transfer fee.
'But it is clear that substantial numbers of customers are still not able to clear debts despite deals becoming longer and longer and those who fail to stick to terms and conditions can lose out.'

Dude this is rly good i love the tom and jerry sounds
That was funny. I know the voice of Mario is played by Charles Martinet, but when Mario was singing to himself at the beginning, he sounds like Mickey Mouse than himself. And that Luigi is a traitor in this submission. First, he's on Mario's side, now he's on Wario's. Also, when Bowser said "Huurahhh!", it sounds like he burped then growled. *laughs* That is why this is funny. The music is wierd, yet funny also. You did a good job on this one.

New Zealand Cricket has publicly apologised to Ross Taylor for its handling of the captaincy fiasco but confirmed no-one will be sacked as a result.
NZC chairman Chris Moller and chief executive David White conducted a 40-minute press conference at the Basin Reserve where little light was shed on the stand-off between Taylor and NZC over the way he was removed from the captaincy.
Moller said the board ''took the correct decision'' to support a change in captaincy, which went to Brendon McCullum, but regretted the way it played out publicly.
''The board has reviewed all aspects of the captaincy issue and wishes to publicly place on record its apologies to Ross Taylor and his family for the manner in which events have unfolded,'' Moller said, reading from a prepared statement.
The board met for five hours in Wellington on Monday to discuss the issue, including meeting with New Zealand coach Mike Hesson.
Hesson's job, and that of White and anyone else involved, was safe, Moller said.
"No heads are going to roll. There are no hanging offences in all of this. Yes, the ball's been dropped, absolutely. Could we have done things better? Absolutely. Are we going to learn from those mistakes, well we hope so.''
Moller and White wouldn't comment on Taylor's suggestion someone from NZC had misrepresented the truth over his removal as skipper.
Asked in an interview this week whether someone from NZC was lying, Taylor replied ''definitely''.
Moller said NZC was looking into Taylor's claims. He said ''additional material'' had come to light this week that needed to be followed up on, and no further comment would be made.
In extensive interviews in recent days, Taylor said Hesson, manager Mike Sandle and assistant coach Bob Carter came to his room on November 13, four days before the first test in Sri Lanka, and told him effectively he wasn't good enough to captain the team.
A day later Hesson told him he would be recommending a change in skipper when the team returned.
Hesson in recent days insisted he meant for the T20 and ODI formats only, but Taylor was adamant he meant he would be sacked in all three formats.
Taylor is taking a self-enforced break from cricket and will miss the South Africa tour.
Moller said an independent review of the NZC board was already under way, in late 2011 before the captaincy saga played out.
One of the 39 recommendations was that the current board of eight be changed to six elected and two appointed positions.
A special general meeting would be convened next year to rubber stamp a modern day constitution.
Moller said all of the current board would then need to put themselves forward for re-election, and he challenged former international players to put their names forward to improve the board's cricketing knowledge.

Cricket: England's extraordinary victory triumph of persistence
Fourth Test: England 270 & 244 Australia 340 & 162 England win by 12 runs Headley's six-wicket salvo tears the heart out of Australia before Gough supplies the coup de grace
Wednesday 30 December 1998
Setting Australia 175 to win, after the tourists had been bowled out for 244 in their second innings, it might have been a glorious failure as the home side cruised to 130 for 3. But England's bowlers had other ideas. Pushing themselves to the point of exhaustion, in a final session that lasted four hours, they dismissed Australia for 162, as their opponents choked on a mixture of complacency and bad memories.
If one man could be singled out it was Dean Headley, who took 6 for 60. Headley came on at the Southern end at 5.48pm and bowled until the end. The duration of the spell - 105 minutes - was impressive, and the impact should last even longer. Australia go into the last Test with the Ashes safe and a 2-1 lead, but they also know they are no longer indomitable.
England's record at the MCG is far superior to that on other Australian grounds, and there were similar resonances this time to England's victory here in 1982, when the winning margin was three runs. Indeed, since the Ashes have been contested Australia have won 25 Tests here to England's 19, a fair proportion for an away team.
When the glorious moment came at 7.33pm, 14 minutes after Steve Waugh had insisted on taking the extra half-hour, the shadows were longer than the Australian faces.
Victory is not commonplace in England's repertoire, but they have an aptitude for winning the close ones, something this Australian side lacks. They lost to England at the Oval 18 months ago, chasing less, and a memory must have surfaced.
Mind you, England had to get close first, and you could tell by the emotion that swept across the MCG when Darren Gough's toe-crusher caught the last man, Glenn McGrath, stone dead that this success was a lottery win not a certainty.
"I thought 175 would be competitive," said Alec Stewart afterwards. "In the past Australia have slipped up chasing totals like that."
Ironically, Stewart had wanted to come off when the extra half-hour became available to him. "Sure I was trying it on a little," he admitted. "With tea being taken early, it was a long session and I felt our bowlers were tired. But, seriously, if teams have to make up for time lost to rain the length of session needs to be looked at.
"I was pleased with the fight we showed. Dean Headley's was a magnificent effort along with Darren Gough's and Alan Mullally's. I was about to take Dean off on several occasions, but he kept battling. Our aim is to square the series and go home 2-2, not 3-1."
Well though Mullally bowled in taking two key Aussie wickets, it was his batting, an entertaining 16, that took the aerial route, that proved crucial.
Before this innings he had made five ducks in the series, one away from equalling the record set by Alan Hurst. McGrath tried, as he has done all series, to scupper him here with a barrage of bouncers and verbals, though this time the latter cost him a A$2,500 (pounds 900) fine from the match referee, John Reid.
Yet if the match turned on one key moment, it was probably the superb catch taken by Mark Ramprakash to dismiss Justin Langer. The left-hander, who had already taken a heavy toll of his Middlesex team-mate Angus Fraser, was on 30 when he tried to do the same to Mullally.
Pulling the lanky fast bowler, after he had dropped a delivery a fraction short, Langer could only laugh in disbelief as Ramprakash, fielding alongside the square-leg umpire, flung himself scrum-half-like to take a miraculous catch with his right hand.
People talk about moments that inspire change. Well, this was one that transformed England's sweaty toilers into blinkered believers and hard graft into sweet success.
"Ramps' catch was the thing that fired them up," said Australia's captain, Mark Taylor. "Our attitude over the last two hours was bad. We batted as if it was just a matter of going out there and hitting the ball."
Many believe that Taylor, who won the toss and put England in to bat, had made a major error. Since 1963, no more than 200 had ever been made by a team batting last at the MCG.
Taylor added: "There's no doubt that, at 130 for 3, everyone on the ground was convinced that that was the game. But just as we were thinking what we might do tonight, a brilliant catch, a poor shot and we're under pressure. Often 15 or 20 minutes is all it takes to change a Test."
Whether or not England are disciples of that particular Andy Warhol-ism, there is no escaping the fact that, until Headley removed Mark Waugh for 43, they were the outsiders.
Until that moment Waugh had looked untroubled. But Headley, after an early savaging from Michael Slater, bowled with real gusto and Waugh's dismissal, which was well taken by Graeme Hick at second slip, was made to look more slovenly than it really was.
With Waugh gone, Headley hit the motherlode, wreaking havoc among Australia's middle order. In 14 balls, he took 4 for 4, including Darren Lehmann and Ian Healy, whose gambling spirit fell flat as he scythed to second slip.
It was easy to forget the work achieved earlier in the day by the England batsmen. With runs a priority, Hick, Stewart, and Nasser Hussain all made half-centuries. Hick can feel gratified that one of his efforts was at the forefront of victory instead of buried in a defeat.
Australia are never beaten until Steve Waugh has been forced to lay down his bat. But his team-mates were feeling the squeeze. Suddenly, the debutant Matthew Nicholson, having added 21 with Waugh, edged Headley behind for 9. But Waugh made the error of allowing his new partner, MacGill, to take the strike. It was a mistake, with the ball swinging Irish and England with their tails up.
In the space of three balls, Gough cleaned up both MacGill and McGrath to leave Waugh stranded for the second time in the match. The Waugh zone may not have been breached, but that did not prevent the Barmy Army from invading, and they were still partying well into the wee hours.
For once, the pitch, with barely three days of usage, could not be blamed. What could, was the widespread belief that this England side could not win a Test on a silver platter let alone one at the mecca of Australian cricket.
In the end, with one day left unplayed, it was quite simply an extraordinary Test match, that England ended up winning, and winning well.

In e-mail to students and faculty members, Father Harris said it would be "a distraction" for the university for him to stay.
