Social Anxiety
What is social anxiety?
Like mentioned before, social anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness, dread, or apprehension about social interaction and presentation. Often, there is a concern that one will be judged negatively by other people, regardless of whether this is actually the case. Social anxiety can range from mild and infrequent to being a major hindrance to your daily routine.
Social anxiety disorder is used to describe a level of social anxiety that is so distressing, excessive, and/or pervasive that it is significantly interfering with an individual's quality of life.
Remember, just because you get shy or nervous occasionally does not mean you have social anxiety disorder. Many people are shy or self-conscious from time to time, but it does not get in the way of their normal functioning.
What triggers social anxiety?
Social anxiety can be triggered by two types of situations: interpersonal or performance.
How common is social anxiety?
Social anxiety is the most common anxiety disorder and the third most common mental disorder in the U.S. after depression and alcohol dependence. It often surfaces in adolescence or early adulthood, but can occur at any time, including early childhood. It is more common in women than men.
What if these steps don't help?
Each person is different and treatment needs vary between individuals. If self-help strategies are not working, you may want to consider individual or group therapy. Call or stop by the Counseling and Psychological Services Department on the second floor of the Health Center to make an appointment!

What can I do to reduce my social anxiety?
Challenge Negative Thought Patterns
Negative thoughts and beliefs contribute to social anxiety. You may find yourself thinking things like, "I know I'm going to end up looking like a fool" or "People will think I'm stupid".
The first step is identifying those automatic negative thoughts that underlie your social anxiety. For example, you may be worried about an upcoming interview and your negative underlying thought is, "I'm totally going to blow it and then they will think I'm stupid."
The next step is to analyze and challenge those thoughts.
Sometimes it helps to ask questions about your negative thoughts. For example, "Do I really know I'm going to blow it in the interview?" or "Even if I'm nervous, will people really think I'm stupid?"
Learn to Relax
When you get anxious, many changes happen. You start to sweat, breath quick and shallow breaths, and even shake. The first step to reversing or preventing these side effects of anxiety is to change the way you breathe. Slowing down your breath can help reduce or eliminate some of the physical side effects of anxiety.
Try the following breathing exercise:
• Sit comfortably with your back straight and your shoulders relaxed. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
• Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for four seconds. The hand on your stomach should rise, while the hand on your chest should move very little.
• Hold the breath for two seconds.
• Exhale slowly through your mouth for six seconds, pushing out as much air as you can. The hand on your stomach should move in as you exhale, but your other hand should move very little.
• Continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Focus on keeping a slow and steady breathing pattern of 4-in, 2-hold, and 6-out.
If you practice this breathing exercise regularly, you can use it when in social situations to help keep calm.
Face Your Fears
Avoidance of your fears fuels further anxiety. Although it may be instantly gratifying to avoid those social situations, it also prevents you from ever feeling more comfortable. It may even increase your fear over time.
The key is to face your fears by taking small, manageable steps. You start with a situation that provokes only slight to moderate anxiety and work your way up to more intense fears. An internet site called Moodjuice has an excellent self-help guide to social anxiety which includes worksheets you can fill out to figure out what fear to tackle first and a step-by-step guide to do so.
Find it with the link below:
Build Better Relationships
Actively seeking out and joining supportive social environments can also be an effective way to reduce social anxiety. You can take an assertiveness or social skills class or join a club on campus. You might enjoy volunteering doing something you enjoy. This allows you to be around a small number of like-minded individuals to engage with.
Change Your Lifestyle
Although lifestyle changes alone are not enough to eliminate social anxiety, they can help ease some of the side effects.
• Avoid or limit caffeine: Caffeine is a stimulant that can increase the physical symptoms of anxiety.
• Drink only in moderation: Drinking may seem tempting before a social encounter to calm your nerves, but it can increase the chances of an anxiety attack.
• Quit smoking: Nicotine is also a stimulant so it leads to higher anxiety.
• Get enough sleep: Sleep deprivation can make you more vulnerable to anxiety.
We all feel shy or anxious occasionally, like when you have a presentation for class or you are going to interview for a new position. Sometimes people develop more intense and consistent feelings of uneasiness, dread, or apprehension regarding particular social interactions such as public speaking or in general with most or all social interactions.
What are the components of social anxiety?
There are three components of social anxiety: emotions and thoughts, physical symptoms, behavior.
Emotions and Thoughts
Excessive self-consciousness and anxiety in everyday social situations
Intense worry for days, weeks, or even months before an upcoming social situation
Extreme fear of being watched or judged by others, especially people you don't know
Fear that you'll act in ways that will embarrass or humiliate yourself
Fear that others will notice that you're nervous
Physical Symptoms
o Red face, blushing
o Shortness of breath
o Upset stomach, nausea
o Trembling or shaking (including shaky voice)
o Racing heart or tightness in chest
o Sweating or hot flashes
o Feeling dizzy or faint
Interpersonal Situations
Our anxiety is triggered by our interactions with others such as:
o Going on a date
o Starting a conversation with a stranger
o Asking for directions
o Starting a conversation
o Keeping a conversation going
o Attending a party
o Being interviewed for a job
o Holding eye contact
Performance Situations
Our anxiety is triggered by potentially or actually being the focus of attention such as:
o Public speaking
o Public singing
o Eating at a restaurant alone
o Dropping something in a public place
o Spilling a drink
o Reading in front of others
o Voicing an opinion during a class or meeting
What causes social anxiety?
There is no single known cause for social anxiety, but it is likely caused by our genetic make-up, biological factors, and learning experiences.
Genetic Make-Up
Research on the genetic foundations of physical and mental health suggests that a tendency toward anxiety has a moderate level of heritability. In other words, if your parents or a close relative have increased anxiety, you are somewhat more likely to have increased anxiety.
Biological Factors
Medications that are used for anxiety affect the levels of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain. However, it is unclear if differences in these chemicals actually can cause increased anxiety, but they may play a role.
Learning Experiences
The experiences in our life and how we react to them can contribute to the development of anxiety. If we feel like we have been repeatedly put in situations in which we feel different, singled out negatively, or feared the judgment of people, we can develop beliefs about ourselves and the world consistent with social anxiety.
As these experience continue, we may pay close attention to parts of the environment that reinforce our negative beliefs such as a public speaker that focuses on the two people in the audience who appear bored, while they may not notice the 38 others who are watching and nodding with great interest. As these beliefs and filters are strengthened, we start to act, feel, and think in an anxious way more automatically.
This sometimes leads to a negative outlook on even neutral situations and avoiding social situations altogether. Since we avoid social interactions, we also miss the opportunity to challenge our negative assumptions further strengthening the cycle.
There are some unhelpful thinking styles you may be using. Read the following and ask yourself if you are engaging in these types of thoughts:
Mind reading:
Assuming you know what others are thinking and feeling and that they feel the same way you do.
Fortune telling:
Predicting the future, usually assuming the worst will happen. This sets you up for increased anxiety before anything happens.
Blowing things out of proportion. For example, if people notice you are nervous it will ruin the whole interview.
Assuming all people are focused on you in a negative way or what is going on with others has to do with you.
There are many other relaxation techniques that can help reduce overall anxiety levels. Check out the web address below to discover progressive muscle relaxation, body scan meditation, mindfulness, visualization meditation, yoga, and tai chi.
The following video discusses many of the topics addressed in this Prezi. It is about 15 minutes long and includes student perspectives and experiences with social anxiety.
o Avoiding social situations to a degree that limits your activities or disrupts your life
o Staying quiet or hiding in the background in order to escape notice and embarrassment
o A need to always bring a buddy along with you wherever you go
o Drinking before social situations in order to soothe your nerves

Eat This: 10 Top Wedding Beauty Foods
According to Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietitian and advisory board member for Fitness Magazine, the omega-3 fatty acids and water in this nutrient-dense protein help keep skin hydrated from the inside out. "Omega-3s also reduce inflammation on the cellular level, which helps prevent dry, scaly skin, redness and acne," adds Lisa Drayer, registered dietitian and author of "The Beauty Diet: Looking Great Has Never Been So Delicious" (McGraw-Hill, 2008). Drayer's first choice: wild salmon.
One cup of blueberries has just 80 calories but also packs four grams of fiber, which keeps you feeling satisfied, says Drayer. They also boast anthocyanins (the bluish-red pigments), which help prevent collagen degradation and leave skin feeling supple.
Easy to eat on the fly, these nuts are a good source of zinc, which may work to keep your skin blemish-free, Jackson Blatner says.
Drayer advises opting for the dark meat of this popular bird – the combo of zinc and iron helps prevent a flaky scalp, brittle strands and hair loss.
Research has shown that people who eat carotenoid-containing fruits and veggies like this anti-inflammatory leafy green are perceived as more attractive because they have yellow-tinted skin, notes Jackson Blatner.
One cup of plain, low-fat yogurt supplies about half of your daily calcium needs, explains Drayer. "Along with the phosphorus in dairy, calcium helps keep teeth cavity-free."
Actually a berry, kiwi is one of the best sources of vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis and helps keep gums healthy, says Drayer.
These protein-packed superstars also contain biotin, which may help nails grow faster, stay strong and avoid brittleness, says Jackson Blatner.
Drink about 72 ounces of water each day to promote healthy digestion and a strong metabolism, says Jackson Blatner. Consider substituting green tea for 16-24 of those ounces, especially leading up to the wedding, as it contains theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation, Drayer adds.
Jackson Blatner recommends sprinkling this slightly peppery herb on everything you eat in the days preceding your event. "It's a diuretic so it keeps bloating and puffiness at bay."

Hi all,
I'm a recent convert to Xbuntu from fedora and linuces and am liking it a lot. Especially, the LTS plan for 12.04.
I have a working VPNC setup to be able to connect to work and for a while the 'VPN Connections' option was visible when clicking the networking icon on the toolbar. However, recently it has disappeared.
I've found that disabling and re-enabling networking brings back the option.
Anyone know how I can make sure this option is constantly available and isn't disappearing on each reboot?

Ince the new favourite for City job
Former England international Paul Ince has been heavily backed to become the next manager of Coventry City after turning around the fortunes of Macclesfield Town in a short space of time at the League Two club.
Bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth said: 'Ince has been the only one the punters have wanted to be with since the weekend and, if you believe money talks, then they look to be onto a winner.
'We dipped our toes into the water again on Monday morning offering 11/8, but this was snapped up in minutes, so we had no other option but to suspend betting until the situation becomes clearer.'

LOS ANGELES — Liam Neeson's "Taken 2" has defended its box-office title with a narrow win over Ben Affleck's "Argo."
Sunday studio estimates put 20th Century Fox's action sequel "Taken 2" at No. 1 with $22.5 million in its second weekend. "Taken 2" raised its domestic total to $86.8 million.
Affleck's "Argo," an Iranian hostage thriller from Warner Bros., opened in second-place with $20.1 million.
The follow-up to "Taken," the hit that established dramatic star Neeson as an action hero, "Taken 2" was dinged by critics who called it a replay of the original. The sequel has Neeson's ex-CIA guy up against a gang of Albanian goons out for revenge for their kin that he killed in the first movie.
"It kind of proves that reviews do not matter," said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. "Audiences just continue to eat this up. They just love Liam Neeson in this role."
"Argo" may prove the opposite, using its great reviews and Academy Awards buzz to settle in for a long stay at the box office. Affleck directed and starred in the real-life story about a CIA operative who concocts a plan to rescue six Americans hiding in Tehran after the 1979 U.S. embassy takeover by disguising them as members of a fake movie crew.
Revenues on the film ticked up a whopping 47 percent from opening day Friday to Saturday, a sign that audiences were talking it up exuberantly to friends.
"This is a really good indication of how quickly word of mouth can spread," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros. "The critical acclaim in this case is going to translate into commercial success."
1. "Taken 2," $22.5 million ($41 million international).
2. "Argo," $20.1 million.
3. "Sinister," $18.3 million ($4 million international).
4. "Hotel Transylvania," $17.3 million ($13.7 million international).
5. "Here Comes the Boom," $12 million.
6. "Pitch Perfect," $9.3 million.
7. "Frankenweenie," $7 million ($4.9 million international).
8. "Looper," $6.3 million ($7.5 million international).
9. "Seven Psychopaths," $4.3 million.
10. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," $2.2 million.

This bomber jacket is everything you need for a lazy afternoon: neon geometric patterns paired with pinstripes add a sporty touch while an asymmetrical wrap miniskirt with a zipper detail is most definitely entertaining. It's a Friday afternoon pick-me-up; a coffee break, that fat piece of chocolate cake, a 3PM tea-time. Do it with caution though, these heels are deadly.

Dan "HATECHOIR" Juday sent along the following: Take it for what it's worth, which is generally nothing, but John Cena is being advertised as defending the WWE Championship in a match against The Big Show on January 24th in Champaign, IL. at the Assembly Hall. Being that the Royal Rumble is prior to this date, one could assume Cena is holding onto the strap for a bit. One could also assume the obvious, this is more advanced WWE promotion that probably means nothing.

Re: Many Players Need Firmware Update To Play Spider-Man 3 on Blu-ray
I don`t get it. DAvid, the deal is this. First, no one is attacking Blu-Ray on purpose, or has any particular bias to it. What is amazing to me, is, that you can not see the inherent problems with all of this. Are you just having this discussion, just to banter back and forth.
We are talking about just playing a movie. Thats all, nothing else. It doesn`t matter whether your a audio/videophile, or Best Buy type customer. No one should be expected to deal with this update foolishness to play a movie. Some how though, you believe we (high end) should, why is that? That makes no good sense. Anyone should be able to buy or rent a movie, and expect to watch it immediately after they get home.
Maybe your one of those audio/videophiles that enjoys tweaking every piece of equipment, before listening. The equipment is a means to an end. And that is to listen, watch, or both to a point of enjoyment and pleasure. I really do not what else to say about this matter.
Similarly, no question that these type of issues if magnified, will continue to keep others out of the high end for good. Which is not good for growth or business.

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all – EHS
Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition
After the race to the South Pole ended in December 1911 with Roald Amundsen's conquest, Shackleton planned a third trip to the Antarctic in 1914 with the ship Endurance, intending to cross Antarctica via the South Pole, the last major prize in Antarctic exploration.
His intention was dashed early in 1915, when the Endurance became trapped in the ice, and sank ten months later. Shackleton's crew had already abandoned the ship to live on the floating ice.
In April 1916, they set off in three small boats, eventually reaching Elephant Island. Taking five crew members, Shackleton went to find help. In a small boat, the six men spent 16 days crossing 720 nautical miles of ocean to reach South Georgia. The men then trekked across the uncharted island to a whaling station. The remaining men from the 'Endurance' were rescued in August 1916. Not one member of the expedition died.
As Henry crosses the Antarctic landmass, we'll revive the spirit of Endurance to commemorate Shackleton's expedition with a weekly report describing what Shackleton and his men faced on the pack ice 100 years ago.

In order to understand just how much Cascade High School senior David Garcia thinks of his wrestling coach, you need look no further than the decision he and his family made before this school year began.
For nearly half of Garcia's life, Cascade head coach Brooklyn Obregon has been Garcia's club coach.
That wasn't good enough for Garcia.
After breaking his ankle a year ago in January while attending Kamiak and missing the rest of the wrestling season, Garcia asked his parents something most kids would never think to ask — to move so that he could attend Cascade.
"I kind of begged them," Garcia said.
Garcia explained several factors to his parents while pleading his case. He wanted to wrestle for Obregon. He believed he would be challenged more in practice at Cascade. But most importantly, he just wasn't happy at Kamiak.
"I told them how at Kamiak I didn't feel right," Garcia said. "I had a lot of friends at (Cascade) so when I moved over here my grades went up higher and I felt right."
Garcia wasn't the only one thrilled by his parents' decision.
"I feel blessed to have a young man that is as talented as he is feel that he wanted to wrestle for me," Obregon said.
This weekend Garcia has a chance to make his family's decision pay off by winning his first state championship. He goes into Mat Classic as the state's No. 2-ranked 120-pounder in Class 4A.
In order to accomplish his championship goal, Garcia has to perform better against his toughest opposition. He enters the state meet with a 36-3 record, but two of those losses have come against Yelm's Darren Harris, the No. 1 ranked wrestler in Garcia's weight class.
Harris pinned Garcia in both meetings this season, but Garcia is excited by the idea of getting an opportunity to face him one last time.
"I'm really confident because I know how he wrestles," Garcia said. "I just know him. I know his style and I'm just ready for him."
In the first match against Harris, Garcia got caught with his head down and Harris capitalized with his signature move, the three-quarter stack. Garcia was pinned in less than a minute.
"There's not a lot of getting out of that," Obregon said. "It's something that (Harris) is pretty renowned for. Unfortunately we fell victim to it."
In the second match, Obregon said Garcia was the aggressor. He got out of the first period trailing just 2-0 and had several opportunities to score, but when Harris got the opportunity, he put the three-quarter stack on Garcia again and scored a pin.
"We've learned a little bit each match," Obregon said. "By the second time we had not only improved enough to not only be the only athlete to get out of the first period against Mr. Harris, but (Garcia) was definitely on the verge of scoring many times. Even in a loss we learned a lot."
The biggest lesson Garcia has learned — don't lower the head.
"Coach always taught me, everything I do keep my head up high," Garcia said. "With school, work and anything I do, even wrestling. When I wrestled him I kept my head low and that's where he caught me with that move."
Harris and Garcia are on opposite sides of the bracket meaning they would most likely only face each other for the state championship, something that is just fine with Garcia.
"He's fearless and he's not one of those that gets worried that he's beaten him twice," Obregon said. "He invites the challenge."
Garcia has come a long way since he began wrestling for Obregon with the USA Wrestling Club in middle school. In those days, wins were few and far between, but with hard work and dedication, Garcia has made steady improvements and the wins started to come more frequently.
In his sophomore season at Kamiak, things really came together for Garcia. At 106 pounds he finished third in state.
"He has gone from a less confident young man to working throughout the summer year in and year out," Obregon said. "He's gotten, not only more confident, but so much incredibly more talented. His hard work is so apparent."
Garcia's work ethic has not only made him a standout wrestler, but is likely to help him as he pursues his dream of becoming a police officer. Though he isn't sure what branch, Garcia plans to join the military after high school and hopes to wrestle as well. Obregon and Garcia both said that a background in wrestling and military experience should help Garcia in his chosen career path.
"Wrestling has helped me a lot mentally knowing that I could get through anything," Garcia said. "Anything that stands in my way, I can blast through it because I know I'm that tough."
Obregon said he believes his athletes can accomplish anything if they put their minds to it. That kind of dedication has helped Garcia transform from someone who struggled to even win a match to one of the best wrestlers in the state.
"Wrestling is all about teaching life's lessons," Obregon said. "Hard work, perseverance and desire to accomplish something is something that is achievable as long as you keep plugging away. If you do that, there is nothing that can't be achieved if you work hard enough for it. I think that's one of life's best lessons."

What's up with the Dassault 3D modeller by the way? Since when could 3D modeling programs create 3D models of objects?
Also, try increasing the framerate from 12fps to at least 25fps.

text: I am planning on getting a new spey rod in the near future that is much lighter than my recently sold SAGE 9140-3. I am thinking about the Decho in 7wt. at this point but that may change. Anyway, I want to get an old Hardy beater for this rod just for fun. I have seen well used Hardy Marquis No. 2 and Hardy Princess on Ebay for prices that I can live with. I am wondering what size of Hardy reel would fit the RIO Windcutter Versatip Spey for a 7wt. Is the No. 2 size perfect or the No. 1? I am not even sure how the numbering works; anyone here know? I am hoping to keep the reel on the smaller size if I can just for balance reasons; I am trying to move away from the giant spey rod reel feel and get something that feels more accurate and responsive to me. Any suggestions would be nice and if anyone has a classic reel that suits this purpose that is ready to fish and is for sale let me know. I want a beater-workhorse that I can use and not feel like it is a collectors item. Thanks all!

Richard's Kid sets track record in Grade 3 Cougar II H.
Saturday, July 28, 2012
Richard's Kid sets a track record in the Cougar II
Bob Baffert has Richard's Kid back in top form since the 7-year-old returned to his barn earlier this year, and if his track record performance in the $100,000 Cougar II H. (G3) July 27 at Del Mar is any indication, he'll be tough to beat when he goes for a record third Pacific Classic (G1) on Aug. 29.
Richard's Kid owner Zabeel Racing moved the horse to Dubai in late 2010 and he subsequently went winless in five starts at Meydan before being sent back to the States this spring. Baffert started him twice at Hollywood Park, winning the Prove It S. and running second in the Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup, where he lost to his stablemate Game On Dude.
This was the third time Richard's Kid had started in the 1 1/2-mile Cougar II, he finished third in 2010 and second in 2009. Things would be different this time for the 2-5 favorite, however. With Rafael Bejarano content to sit near the back for most of the marathon trip, Richard's Kid went three-wide into the stretch to go by the front-runner Worth Repeating at the furlong grounds and draw off to a 1 1/2-length margin at the wire. The final time of 2:29.22 broke the track record of 2:29.39 set by Bourbon Bay in the race last year.
Baffert said the $1 million Pacific Classic, which Richard's Kid won in 2009 and 2010, is next. After the race, he reflected on when he heard he was getting the horse back in the barn.
"It was almost like a bonus for me after I had my heart attack (days before the Dubai World Cup on March 31) when they told me I was getting Richard's Kid back. I got saved (his own life) and I got Richard's Kid, so something good came out of it."
Bejarano, who has been aboard for all three starts during the comeback, was ready for the next race.
"He did this so easy. This was a (prep) for his next race – for the Pacific Classic. We didn't want to do too much with him today. They had him just right for this; he was relaxed out there. Very impressive the way he won. He's a good horse. And a track record, too. It's good to ride a horse like this."
Richard's Kid is now 11-3-7 in 35 starts, with earnings of $1,986,385. Baffert, who has a record 96 stakes wins at Del Mar, won the Cougar II for the first time.

Friday nights at our house are reserved for pizza night.
Except for the last few weeks we've had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Pizza nights as needed. If Colt can't cook, pizza's the next best thing.
Then we had a pizza break. I was blessed my friend Jean came over with an amazing Baked Ziti last week to help in our meal dilemma and between Colt and Lorna they came up with a few quick meals they could make, even if Colt had to work late.
I think were getting close to resuming Friday night pizza night soon along with a movie or games.
We made this French Bread Pizza the Friday before my accident and oh man was it delicious!
I love French Bread Pizza but there are a few tricks to making it amazing.
The one thing I don't like about french bread pizza is when the breads not crunchy enough and your eating a soggy piece of french bread topped with your favorite toppings.
It's just not right!
So I'm solving that problem for you today!
Plus it's almost back to school time and this makes a great dinner for a busy weeknight.
Are you ready for my secret to great French Bread Pizza?
It's lightly toasting it before you place your pizza sauce and toppings on, it makes it nice and crunchy.
First things first cut your french bread in half length wise and brush all over (bottom and top) with extra virgin olive oil.
Place french bread on a cookie sheet and toast in a 450 degree oven until just barely brown and toasty about 4 minutes.
Spread toasted french bread with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce.
Top each half of pizza with mozzarella cheese. If using pepperoni place pepperoni or canadian bacon over cheese. (If your a vegetarian feel free to skip this step and go on to the next step. On this particular night we did a combination.
Top with mushrooms, onions and bell pepper.
Cover the top of pizza with remaining cheese. Then sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning and pop back into a 450 degree oven for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.
Remove from oven and top with fresh sliced tomatoes.
Allow to cool long enough not to burn your mouth.
I always learn that the hard way!

Photographs of the Pentagon attack site
show an absence of large intact debris
such as recognizable pieces of the tail or wings.
Since the areas of punctured walls in the facade
were not large enough to admit the outer halves of the wings
and the vertical stabilizer of a 757,
the absence of large pieces of these components
is cited as evidence that a 757 did not crash there.
The expectation that a jetliner crash at the Pentagon should have left
large debris is reasonable given the fact that other
jetliner crashes have left large pieces,
such as those shown in the photographs on this
from the talk
The Pentagon Attack Frame-Up.
However, several points should be noted here.
A 1992 report by Sugano et al describes an experiment
involving the crash of an F-4D Phangom jet fighter jet
into a 10-foot-thick concrete block at 480 mph.
In the experiment, the fighter is reduced to confetti,
leaving no large pieces of debris.
These images from the F-4 crash test,
are from the
Sandia National Laboratories Video Gallery.
The crash of an F-4 into a concrete block at 480 mph,
though different from
the crash of a Boeing 757 into the heavy masonry facade
of the Pentagon at a similar speed,
does suggest that the jetliner crash would also
leave no large pieces of debris.
Crashes of aircraft into buildings are rare,
so it is difficult to find crash photographs from which
to draw conclusions about the kind of debris such crashes typically leave.
However, a recent crash of a military transport plane is instructive.
On December 5, 2005, a C-130 --
a plane similar in size to a Boeing 757 --
crashed into an apartment building in Azari, Iran
while attempting to make an emergency landing at a nearby airport.
Photographs of the crash scene (see right margin)
show no large pieces of aircraft debris,
except perhaps a third of a wing and some engine cores.
If the absence of large visible debris on the Pentagon's lawn
from the crash of a 757 is surprising,
then the absence of large debris at the Azari crash scene
should be more surprising, because:

Soapbox Philosophy: At the heart of all the problems: Us
Gregory R. Norfleet
· Op-Ed · February 08, 2013
While interviewing Troy Thompson about his son, Jordan, going to Afghanistan, my stomach did a twist when Troy told me what Jordan would be doing for the National Guard:
Diffusing improvised explosive devices.
Homemade bombs. Its the Hurt Locker, in real life.
I dont know Jordan very well. Ive interviewed him a few times, like after football games when he was the lead running back and co-captain of the 2008 team. But to know him just that much and know he is going into what is probably, even by military standards, one of the most dangerous jobs, unnerves me. I cant imagine what his family must be thinking. We certainly need to pray for his safety, as well as the safety of all our men and women in the military.
No doubt Jordan will be well-trained before he approaches his first IED, but I imagine he will likely be thinking daily of the same truth philosophers and theologians throughout the world have discussed for thousands of years: Theres something wrong with this world.
The plastic explosives used in many IEDs were originally invented by engineers looking for explosive material which could be molded into specific shapes for strategic placement in building demolition. That brings us to a second truth: Everything bad once came from something good.
Boys Basketball Head Coach Stephen Bender the week before last was involved in a head-on crash in the fog north of Wellman. Bender thinks the other driver, by the way their car coasted over the line into his lane, may have been talking on a cell phone.
Why do we talk and drive? All kinds of reasons. If it were me, it would likely be trying to get something done during a monotonous trip. Good intentions, but bad timing. What is wrong with this world?
Cars are wonderful things. Cell phones are wonderful things. But, both have to be used wisely. We all know that.
But sometimes we can be tempted and we dont fight very hard.
As part of his Sunday sermon, Pastor Brooks Simpson gave a piece of paper and a broken pencil to a teenager named Austin, asking him to write down, in 10 seconds, what is wrong with the world and how to fix it. The teenager said he could not.
No lead, Austin reasoned.
Pastor Brooks took the pencil from him, and jokingly declared there was nothing wrong with it because pencils can be used for, say, cleaning out your ears. He got a chuckle from the parishioners. Both he and Austin were correct, but Austin held the advantage with his argument because he ascertained the original PURPOSE of the pencil.
Figuring out whats wrong requires knowing what SHOULD BE, Pastor Brooks said.
In response to The Times newspaper asking authors to answer the question: Whats wrong with the world? G.K. Chesterton famously wrote Dear Sirs, I am.
Its not the plastic explosives, the cars, or the cell phones.
Its not the guns, alcohol, drugs, betting parlors, Hollywood, Washington or Des Moines.
Its not flip stop signs at Main and Oliphant, or permanent stop signs. Its not sidewalks to Hoover Elementary or the lack thereof.
Its us.
Its the people who make laws and the people who are under those laws, the people who run businesses and those who shop there, the people who love their jobs and the people who hate what they do.
None of us are perfect, and we need to keep that in mind in every debate, discussion or controversy.

Venezuelan skyscraper, home to 3,000 squatters, is one tall slum
It boasts a helicopter landing pad, glorious views of the Avila mountain range, and large balconies for weekend barbecues
Caracas: It boasts a helicopter landing pad, glorious views of the Avila mountain range, and large balconies for weekend barbecues. Yet this 45-storey skyscraper in the center of Venezuela's capital Caracas is no five-star hotel or swanky apartment block: it is a slum, probably the tallest in the world.
Dubbed the "Tower of David", it was intended to be a commercial centre but was marooned.
Squatters seized the huge concrete skeleton in 2007, then-President Hugo Chavez's socialist government turned a blind eye, and now about 3,000 people call the tower their home.
Though many residents view it as a den of thieves and a symbol of rampant disrespect for property, residents call the "Tower of David" a safe haven that rescued them from the capital's crime-ridden slums.
It appears - at least for now - to have escaped the violence and turf warfare that followed similar building takeovers in Caracas over the last decade, often launched under the banner of the late Chavez's self-styled revolution.
Communal corridors are freshly-polished, rules and rotas are posted everywhere, and non-compliance is punished with extra "social work" decided by a cooperative and floor delegates who make up a mini-government.
"Without ethics or principles, all is irrational," reads one typically didactic poster in a public area.
The high-rise was intended to be a shining new financial center but was abandoned around 1994 after the death of its developer - financier and horse-breeder David Brillembourg - and a massive run on Venezuela's banking sector.
Condo rent: $32
Families pay a 200 bolivar ($32) monthly 'condominium' fee, which helps fund round-the-clock security patrols of the building.

If Bob (or Alice) hands his (or her) phone to the other, then if both phones are shaken in the same hand, the acceleration pattern might provide an extremely unique yet similar signature, not unlike exchanging an encryption key. So if you want to establish a trusted relationship with another Neo user, the two phones are shaken together until the software indicates that you have generated a complex enough pattern that has been recognized on the other. Once this has been established, they can exchange one of the standard encryption keys. All without pressing a single key, and without danger of exposing anything to other Neo or bluetooth devices within range.

Groin pain refers to discomfort in the area where the abdomen ends and the legs begin. This article focuses on groin pain in men.
Pain - groin; Lower abdominal pain; Genital pain; Perineal pain
In males, the terms "groin" and "testicle" are sometimes used interchangeably. But what causes pain in one won't necessarily cause pain in the other.
Common causes of groin pain in men include:
Home care depends on the cause. Follow your health care provider's recommendations.
Call your health care provider if:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
The physical examination will include examination of the groin area. A hidden hernia can be found by inserting one finger into the upper part of the scrotum while you cough. Coughing raises the pressure in the abdomen and pushes your intestine into any hernia opening.
Tests that may be performed include:

Smiths new 9 Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod is designed to quickly sharpen all your standard kitchen and household cutlery. Unlike conventional steels, which only re-align the cutting edge, the Smiths Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod hones and re-aligns the cutting edge at the same time. It comes with an oversized hand guard for comfort and safety and hang up ring for easy accessibility. The non-slip rubber tip on the end of the sharpening rod protects your countertop from scratching and provides stability when sharpening.
Manual Features:
- Hones and Re-aligns Straight Edges
- Oversized Safety Guard
- Non-Slip Rubber Tip
Abrasive: Fine Ceramic - 800 Grit
Sharpening Instructions:
Caution: Always do an equal number of strokes on each side to ensure the sharpest edge possible. Only sharpen on the oval surface, not othe edge of the rod.
- Hold handle of sharpener in one hand and knife in the other hand. Place the plastic tip on the end of the sharpener on a flat, solid surface. Apply sufficient downward pressure on the sharpener, so it wil not slip during the sharpeing process.
- Place heel of your knife blade at the top of the sharpening rod at a preferred angle (20 degrees recommended). With consistent downward pressure, push the knife down the rod while pulling the knife towards you from the heel to tip of the blade.
- Repeat step 2 on the the other side of knife blade
- Repeat steps 2 & 3 until knife is sharp.
Always clean your sharpening rod after use. With use, the surface of the Oval Ceramic Sharpening Rod will begin to fill with metal particles, thus reducing its abrasive quality. To clean the rod, simply scrub in warm water using a mild brush and a kitchen cleansing powder. After cleaning, always dry your sharpener before storing.

Three former gardai call on the Government to reject Smithwick findings
Three former senior gardai have published an evaluation of the Smithwick Tribunal's findings where they challenge its key finding of collusion by unnamed gardai in the murders of two RUC officers.
They claim the finding is not grounded in facts and they have urgently called on the Government to reject it.
They claim the finding of collusion is badly affecting relations between the gardai and the PSNI, the Irish Times reports.
The three former gardai are retired detective chief superintendent John O'Brien, former chief superintendent Michael Finnegan and former chief superintendent Michael Staunton.
An Garda Siochana has sent the report to Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Minister for Justice Alan Shatter, and the Clerk of the Dail.
The three men say the finding of collusion "undermines the capacity of this State to actively pursue the many substantial acts of collusion committed in the course of the conflict".
They also contend that the finding harms the reputation of the gardai who were not represented before the tribunal.
They conducted a "line by line" analysis of the report, saying that the tribunal failed to conduct basic investigative work or hire investigators, which was recommended to it.
Mr Staunton was an inspector in Dundalk when RUC Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan were shot dead by the IRA in 1989, having departed the station.

The rights of the press and the public to information about jurors, including their names and addresses, often clash with the right to a fair trial of criminal defendants and with the right to privacy of jurors. 1 The pendulum has recently swung in the direction of affording greater weight to the privacy rights of jurors at the expense of the public's right to monitor judicial proceedings.
Courts and legislatures in at least eight states2 have considered measures that would limit the disclosure of jurors. names and addresses or would increase the use of anonymous juries. For example, a Texas statute prohibits counsel and court personnel from disclosing personal information regarding jurors, including their names and addresses, that is obtained during a criminal trial. 3 In California, the identities of the jurors must be sealed at the close of a criminal trial and are released upon an affirmative showing of good cause and where the individual jurors do not object to the disclosure of their identities. 4 In Wisconsin, a proposed rule of procedure would have kept private all personal information about jurors in both civil and criminal cases. 5
Colorado has joined this string of states. In 1998, the Colorado legislature amended the statute that had previously required public disclosure of the names and addresses of all qualified jurors in the "jury pool" to mandate that the home addresses of such potential jurors not be publicly disclosed. 6 In addition, in June 1998, the Colorado Supreme Court adopted revised rules of procedure for all state court proceedings that prohibit the disclosure of the addresses or other "locating information" of seated jurors either in open court or through disclosure of court records. 7 This article argues that Colorado.s new statute and procedural rules violate the First Amendment and the Colorado Constitution8 because they impose mandatory blanket denials of the constitutionally protected right of access to information about judicial proceedings. The arguments explicated below are offered as a guide to media organizations, lawyers, and lobbyists who may face similar proposals in their own jurisdictions.
Constitutional Protection
Since 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that the First Amendment protects the public.s right to attend criminal proceedings. 9 The Court has further recognized that the public and the press have a right to attend not only the trial itself, but also those pretrial proceedings that have been traditionally open to the public and whose function would be enhanced by allowing public scrutiny. 10 Although the Supreme Court has not yet directly addressed whether this constitutional right of access to judicial proceedings applies to civil proceedings or to court documents, numerous federal and state courts have extended the First Amendment right of access to civil proceedings and to court records filed in both criminal and civil cases. 11
Although there is a split among the federal courts regarding whether public access to judicial records is premised upon the First Amendment or the common law, 12 the Colorado Supreme Court decided in 1966, long before the Supreme Court decisions noted above, that the public.s right of access to judicial records is protected by the First Amendment. 13 When this qualified right of access applies, state and federal courts alike recognize that judges are required to make case-by-case determinations of whether denial of access is necessary to further a compelling governmental interest before they may close a courtroom or deny access to judicial records. 14 Thus, in Globe Newspaper Co. v. Superior Court,15 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Massachusetts statute that imposed a per se exclusion of the public and press from criminal trials of certain sexual offenses during the testimony of minor victims. 16 The Court observed that even though the interest of protecting minor sex crime victims from additional trauma is a compelling one, the statute did not allow for the constitutionally required case-by-case review and findings necessary to justify closure. 17 Similarly, in People v. Denver Publishing Co., 18 the Colorado Supreme Court struck down a statute that prohibited publishing the names of specified parties in juvenile matters as a per se restriction on free speech. 19 In light of these cases, if a First Amendment right of access applies to identifying information about jurors, it follows that the new Colorado rules, by imposing a per se blanket restriction on the public.s right of access, violate the First Amendment. Thus, the question becomes whether there is a constitutionally protected right of access to personal information about jurors.First Amendment Right of Access
Several courts have acknowledged that the public.s qualified First Amendment right of access to information about the judicial system attaches to the names and addresses of jurors, particularly in completed criminal trials. 20 Under the Press-Enterprise analysis, a First Amendment right of access to information exists if the information in question passes the twin tests of "experience and logic." First, is there a long history of access to the information at issue? Second, does public dissemination of the information play a significant role in the functioning and enhancement of the judicial process at issue? 21 Information about the individuals who literally decide the fate of both civil litigants and criminal defendants, including information about where the jurors reside, work, or both, satisfies both tests.The Test of "Experience" (Tradition)
There is a long history and tradition of access to identifying information about jurors. The origins of the open trial, as recounted by the U.S. Supreme Court, demonstrate that when the Constitution was ratified, jurors. identities were readily apparent to those attending the open proceedings:
The roots of open trials reach back to the days before the Norman Conquest when cases in England were brought before "moots," a town meeting kind of body such as the local courts of the hundred of the county court. . . . Attendance was virtually compulsory on the part of the freeman of the community, who represented the "patria," or the "country," in rendering judgment. The public aspect thus was "almost a necessary incident" of jury trials, since the presence of a jury . . . already ensured the presence of a large part of the public. 22
Another "necessary incident" of these public trials in smaller towns was that people attending the proceedings necessarily knew the identity and, no doubt, the place of residence of the jurors:
When the jury system grew up with juries of the vicinage . . . everybody knew everybody on the jury and we may take judicial notice that this is yet so in many rural communities throughout the country. So, everyone can see and know everyone who is stricken from the venire list or otherwise does not serve. Even in the case before us, the entire voir dire proceeding was in open court. But the anonymity of life in the cities has so changed the complexion of this country that even the press, with its vast and imaginative methods of obtaining information, apparently does not know and cannot easily obtain the names of the jurors and of the venire men and women who did not serve in this case. We think it no more than an application of what has always been the law to require a district court, upon the seating of the jury and alternates, if any, to release the names and addresses of those jurors. . . . 23
So common was the practice of disclosing the identity of jurors that in the conspiracy trial of Aaron Burr, over which Chief Justice Marshall presided, the names of the twelve chosen jurors were printed in the reported decision. 24 The jurors. names were also made public in the highly publicized trials of William Penn in 1670 and of John Peter Zenger in 1735 25 Thus, there is a long-established tradition of allowing access to jurors. identities in criminal trials in the United States. 26The Test of "Logic" (Function)
In recognizing the public.s constitutional right to attend criminal proceedings, the Supreme Court identified the following purposes served by an open judicial system: (1) ensuring that proceedings are conducted fairly; (2) discouraging perjury, misconduct of participants, and biased decisions; (3) providing an outlet for community hostility and emotion; (4) ensuring public confidence in a trial.s results through the appearance of fairness; and (5) inspiring confidence in judicial proceedings through education regarding the methods of government and judicial remedies. 27 As the First Circuit has ruled:
[m]any of the purposes listed above which open justice serves are equally served by access to the identities of the jurors. Knowledge of juror identities allows the public to verify the impartiality of key participants in the administration of justice, and thereby ensures fairness, the appearance of fairness, and public confidence in that system. 28
The court went on to explain:
It is possible, for example, that suspicions might arise in a particular trial (or in a series of trials) that jurors were selected from only a narrow social group, or from persons with certain political affiliations, or from persons associated with organized crime groups. It would be more difficult to inquire into such matters, and those suspicions would seem in any event more real to the public, if names and addresses were kept secret. Furthermore, information about jurors, obtained from the jurors themselves or otherwise, serves to educate the public regarding the judicial system and can be important to public debate about its strengths, flaws, and means to improve it. . . . Juror bias or confusion might be uncovered, and jurors. understanding and response to judicial proceedings could be investigated. Public knowledge of juror identities could also deter intentional misrepresentation at voir dire. 29
Similarly, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts noted that:
It is important for the public to receive information about the operation of the administration of justice, including information about the actual people who do render justice in the truest sense of the word. Access to such information not only serves the cause of justice generally by providing an independent, non-governmental verification of the utter impartiality of the processes involved in selecting jurors and shielding them from improper influences, it also serves to enhance the operation of the jury system itself by educating the public as to their own duties and obligations should they be called for jury service. 30
Several examples from the recent past confirm these views of the essential role that access to information about jurors plays in promoting the public.s confidence in the fairness of the judicial process. 31 Access to juror information helped reveal that an African-American juror in Washington, D.C., refused to convict an African-American criminal defendant, regardless of the Evidence 32 Similarly, it was revealed that a law student juror in a civil libel case had erroneously instructed his fellow jurors on the meaning of the "actual malice" standard. 33 Furthermore, information obtained as a result of public access to juror identities has even uncovered juror misconduct. 34 Most recently, news reports revealed that jurors in a civil case switched their votes late Friday afternoon from plaintiff to defendant solely to avoid having to resume deliberations after the weekend. 35 Not only the names of the jurors, but also the places they live and work may reveal useful background information about the citizens who rendered the verdict in a particular case.
Denial of public access to juror identities can also have a harmful effect upon public confidence in the criminal justice system. 36 When an anonymous jury in Simi Valley, California, acquitted the police officers accused of beating Rodney King, the verdict, which sparked riots in the Los Angeles area, was dismissed by the public as the product of blatant racial bias. Access to juror information in that case may well have reassured the public that no such bias was responsible for the verdict. 37
As the discussion above demonstrates, there is a firmly established tradition of providing public access to juror identities, including their addresses, and access to that information enhances the functioning of our judicial system. Therefore, under the Press-Enterprise test of "experience and logic," the names and addresses of jurors are subject to the qualified right of access guaranteed by the First Amendment. 38 Indeed, in holding that the entire jury selection process in criminal trials is subject to the First Amendment right of access by the public, the Supreme Court has strongly suggested that any limitation on information ordinarily disclosed at such proceedings must satisfy the "strict scrutiny" test. 39 Accordingly, before denying the public access to information about jurors in civil or criminal proceedings, courts must conduct a case-by-case analysis and determine that withholding the information is necessary to further a compelling government interest, is narrowly tailored to serve that interest, and that no less restrictive means are available to adequately protect that interest. Furthermore, in Colorado and other states where the state constitution affords greater protection for free speech rights than is available under the First Amendment, 40 the test should be even more stringent. 41Colorado.s Revised Rules
As part of a comprehensive jury reform effort in Colorado, 42 the state.s General Assembly amended the statute that had previously granted the public access to the names and addresses of all eligible jurors in the jury pool. 43 Under the amended statute, this information is available only to the parties and their counsel. The public has access only to the "names and juror numbers" of potential jurors. 44 Furthermore, the Colorado Supreme Court adopted amendments to the Colorado Rules of Criminal and Civil Procedure mandating that "jurors [in all cases] shall not be required to disclose personal locating information, such as address or place of business, in open court and such information shall not be maintained in files open to the public." 45
The new statute and amended procedural rules impose an unacceptable per se blanket restriction on public access to juror information. Of course, in any individual case, there may be grounds to justify nondisclosure of personal information about jurors. 46 For instance, in cases involving gang activity or other situations in which the personal safety of jurors may be at issue, 47 or in cases with a high potential for jury tampering or some other threat to the fair administration of justice, 48 a judicial order prohibiting disclosure of jurors. personal information might well be justified and would satisfy the Press-Enterprise test, if appropriate judicial findings were made. 49 These situations, however, should be the exception: 50
In the vast majority of trials, there are no safety implications for jurors and the media has no interest in reporting the names or comments of jurors. Therefore, as a practical matter, there is rarely a realistic threat to juror safety arising from media access to juror names. 51
It is difficult to understand how the juror.s address can pose any significant threat to juror safety or privacy in the routine contract dispute or civil tort action. Yet under Colorado.s new statute and rules of procedure, juror information will be withheld in even such commonplace cases.
As discussed above, the public has a constitutionally protected right, albeit a qualified one, to gain access to juror information. Consequently, the question of whether jurors. identities and "locating information," including home and work addresses, should be withheld from the public must be decided by the trial court on a case-by-case basis, in light of the particular facts and circumstances of the case. 52 Although an individual case may present sufficient grounds to justify nondisclosure of personal information, 53 the new Colorado enactments do not allow for the case-by-case analyses and findings required by Supreme Court precedents. 54 As the Globe Newspaper and Denver Publishing Co. cases make clear, per se rules that restrict First Amendment rights, by definition, are not sufficiently "narrowly tailored" to pass constitutional muster.55 Because Colorado.s recently amended statute and new procedural rules impose blanket restrictions on access to information about judicial proceedings, they abridge long-recognized First Amendment protections.Conclusion
Colorado.s new statute and procedural rules are one example of the growing trend among the states to protect the privacy of jurors at the expense of the public.s right of access to information concerning judicial proceedings. Although individual cases may present specific circumstances that warrant the nondisclosure of jurors. names, addresses, or both, universal restrictions on access such as those enacted in Colorado and elsewhere are unacceptable and unconstitutional. Because there is a qualified First Amendment right of access to information about jurors, courts must engage in a case-by-case analysis before suppressing juror information.

36. In finding that the process of selecting a jury in a criminal trial is subject to the First Amendment right of access, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that "public proceedings vindicate the concerns of the victims and the community in knowing that offenders are being brought to account for their criminal conduct by jurors fairly and openly selected." Press-Enterprise I, 464 U.S. at 509 (1984).

43. See Colo. Rev. Stat. '13.71.136 (Supp. 1998). Under a previous version of this statute, the Colorado Supreme Court had held that both a criminal defendant and the public were entitled to the names and addresses of jurors in a criminal case unless there were "specific findings why the interests of justice in this case required that the names and addresses of jurors remain confidential." People v. Vigil, 718 P.2d 496, 500 (Colo. 1986) (emphasis added).
44. . See Colo. Rev. Stat. ' 13.71.136 (Supp. 1998). It is difficult to understand why disclosure of "locating information" about prospective jurors who were not chosen to serve on a petit jury would subject those individuals to any threat of retaliation or harassment. However, disclosure of such information can shed light on how litigants choose to exercise peremptory challenges.
45. . See 27 Colo. Law. 101, 103.07 (Aug. 1998), for the amended versions of Colo. R. Crim. P. 24(a)(4) (applicable to criminal proceedings), Colo. R. Civ. P. 47(a)(4) (applicable to district court proceedings), and Colo. R. Civ. P. 347(a)(4) (applicable to county court proceedings).
46. . "[A] juror may have a legitimate privacy interest which may be protected by closing the hearing and redacting the transcript of the proceedings." Ex parte Greenville News, 482 S.E.2d 556 (S.C. 1997). That court, however, refused to allow the trial judge to deny access to the entire transcript of the proceeding. See id.

48. See In re Globe Newspaper Co., 920 F.2d at 97 ("[J]urors summoned from the community to serve as participants in our democratic system of justice are entitled to safety, privacy, and protection against harassment."). Jury tampering is a punishable criminal offense, see 18 U.S.C.A. ' 1512(b) (1999); Colo. Rev. Stat. ' 18.8-609 (1999), thereby suggesting that a less restrictive means exists to address this governmental interest.
49. A court.s or legislature.s generalized concerns that jurors might be subject to "harassment" by the news media, or jurors. own stated preferences that their personal information not be disclosed are not sufficient to overcome the presumption of public access. In re Globe Newspaper Co., 920 F.2d at 98 ("We cannot accept the mere generalized privacy concerns of jurors, no matter how sincerely felt, as a sufficient reason for withholding their identities [and addresses]"). Furthermore, disclosure of such identifying information about jurors does not implicate or compromise the secrecy of jury deliberations. See, e.g., United States v Cleveland, 128 F.3d 267 (5th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 118 S. Ct. 1518 (1998); United States v. Thomas, 116 F.3d 606, 619 (9th Cir. 1997); United States v. Harrelson, 713 F.2d 1114, 1118 (5th Cir. 1983).
50. "While anonymity is acceptable in the exceptional case where there is a particular need for it, the prospect of criminal justice being routinely meted out by unknown persons does not comport with the democratic values of accountability and openness." In re Globe Newspaper Co., 920 F.2d at 98.99. See also Capital Cities Media, Inc. v. Toole, 463 U.S. 1303, 1306 (1983) (Brennan, J., in chambers) (granting stay of prior restraint on publication of jurors. names and addresses, while assuming that "the State has an interest in keeping personal information about jurors confidential in an appropriate case") (emphasis added).
51. In re Disclosure, 592 N.W.2d at 808. Although a judge may consider the "juror.s own expressions of safety concerns," such expressions cannot be dispositive; the court must independently determine whether the juror.s own concerns are "legitimate and reasonable." Id. at 809.
52. It is for this reason that the Wisconsin Supreme Court recently rejected a proposal to seal juror identifying information in all state court cases. See supra footnote 4 and accompanying text; see also Jim Stingl, supra note 5, at A1 (reporting that all forty-six trial court judges in Wisconsin opposed the measure, noting that "the effectiveness of trial judges in dealing with jury problems on a case-by-case basis is one of the best arguments against a blanket rule").
53. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized that in some circumstances, questioning of jurors in open court might require them to disclose sensitive personal information.such as revealing that she or a family member had been raped.which would give rise to a legitimate privacy interest of the juror to keep that information "out of the public domain." Press-Enterprise I, 464 U.S. at 512.13; see also United States v. George, 20 Media L. Rep. 1511 (D.D.C. 1992) (granting access under First Amendment to completed juror questionnaires but redacting "intensely personal information" that is "as personal to the prospective jurors in this case as the rape example that the Supreme Court provided in Press-Enterprise."). However. the Colorado Supreme Court has previously recognized that, absent unusual circumstances, an individual.s name, address, and present employment do not constitute information the disclosure of which would constitute an invasion of privacy. See Martinelli v. District Court, 612 P.2d 1083, 1092 (Colo. 1980).
54. Even under the less demanding test that applies to access to judicial records under the common law, the Supreme Court has required case-by-case determination. See Nixon v. Warner Communications, 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978) (leaving balancing of competing interests to the sound discretion of the trial court "to be exercised in light of the relevant facts and circumstances of the particular case").

B.J.F., 491 U.S. 524, 539.40 (1989) ("We have previously noted the impermissibility of categorical prohibitions on media access where important First Amendment interests are at stake.")

I do have one on the disk but apparently it is curropted. it's a thinkpad T21. if anyone has this laptop, is it possible to remove the disk? i can't find any way to remove the disk, i could get an ide adapter and plug it into a desktop system, but gotta remove the disk to do it. i suppose i could just reinstall as a last resort, i wish i knew why this happened, the system has been running fine, and didn't puke until it was almost near runlevel 0, got a few errors like 'cannot execute binary file' and a reiserfs panic. was running fine until i initiated the shutdown thanks for any ideas nate (going to sleep) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to email@example.com with a subject of "unsubscribe".

CENTRAL RAIL ROAD, this pictorial
presents the Gilpin Tramway two-foot-gauge Shay steam locomotives
running out of Black Hawk, Colorado, to gold mines surrounding the
communities of Central City, Nevadaville and Russell Gulch. The route
is covered mile-by-mile with detailed in-depth captions and eyewitness
newspaper articles of the day within the text. Drop-bottom ore cars,
flat cars, excursion cars and cabooses made up the roster of rolling
stock traversing the 4%+ grades. Maps are profusely augmented with
gleanings from numerous research trips, and provide knowledge of tracks
to shaft houses on the upper slopes and mills within Black Hawk. Some
280 mines and mills were served by the Gilpin's network of trackage. A
detailed station listing, measured from the Engine House, supplements
information provided in photograph captions. Also included are roster
charts of the locomotives and other equipment, details of the Gilpin
Tramway purchase by the Colorado & Southern Railway, plus a
listing of employees and associates.
