Why we should be more optimistic about forests and climate change
If you skimmed the news this year, 2017 may have seemed like a tough year for climate change.
The US and the Caribbean endured a devastating hurricane season. People across Africa felt the impact of consecutive seasons of drought that scorched harvests and depressed livelihoods. And severe rains and flooding forced tens of thousands of evacuations in Asia.
We've all seen these headlines, and perhaps several others that leave us feeling discouraged, to say the least. The thing is, these headlines do not tell the full story.

About YesVideo
Old movies are full of treasured memories, and in some cases, literal treasure.

The company quickly alerted Ms. Weiner of the bounty, which her late husband had stored away and forgotten.

NJ Adopts New Safeguards for Prescription Forms
Producers of prescription forms used by New Jersey doctors will soon have to add enhanced security features.
The state Division of Consumer Affairs adopted new regulations that will be phased in over the next six months.
Acting Attorney General John Hoffman says the changes are needed to help curb the black-market sales of prescription drugs. He says the state plans to amend its rules to require additional security features in the future.
Among the security enhancements vendors will have to make by mid-August are using color-changing ink and a barcode matching a 15-digit identification number. Future rules could require vendors to embed security measures in the paper itself.
Hoffman says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that abuse of prescription painkillers kills 45 Americans per day.

It's Yuletide again, and this year I've been quite busy with all kinds of time-consuming personal stuff (which I won't bore you with)...I did have a little time to digitize a nice holiday-related album for all of yez...
Here's a pleasant (and unfairly forgotten) LP from 1965 or so:
There is hardly any info out there on the Beers Family, other than the standard online biography:
The Beers Family was a traditional folk group active between 1958 and 1972, led by Bob Beers (b. 1920 -- d. May 26, 1972) and featuring his wife Evelyne and their daughter Martha (who joined in 1964). They played traditional Scots-Irish music on traditional instruments like the psaltery. In 1966, they began hosting the Fox Hollow Festival on their farm in the Adirondacks. Bob Beers was killed in an automobile accident in 1972, but his wife and daughter continued to perform and to stage the festival.
Also, Martha (usually known as Marty) was married to folk musician Eric Nagler from 1968-77, and the Fox Hollow Festival ran from 1966-1980. Evelyne Beers died in October 2009.
The liner notes offer a little more info, mostly about the songs:
Christmas With The Beers Family Columbia MS 6335
1965: Robert, Evelyne & Martha Beers, vocals; Robert Beers, psaltery; others unidentified.
1. Three Little Drummers
2. O Holy Night - Cantique de Noel
3. Christmas Hornpipe
4. La Virgen Lava Panales
5. The Holly Bears a Berry
6. What Child Is This?
7. Cherry Tree Carol
8. Away by the Manger So Mild
9. The Seven Joys of Mary
10. Mary's Little Boy Child
11. The Peace Carol
12. Silent Night, Holy Night
The Beers Family's Away by the Manger So Mild is a reworked Pharaoh's Daughter...also known as Little Moses on a 1928 Carter Family record. I rather like its almost limerick-like meter...
I had hoped to show a YouTube clip of the Beers Family in action, but apparently any film of them has been yanked by the Powers That Be. I hope the Powers don't yank this album too...only a couple of songs from the LP show up on a Beers compilation CD.
I think this album should be reissued...until that time comes, enjoy it as mp3s.
And Happy Holiday Season to one and all...

Brennan Kelly
McDonogh, defense
The last time a defender earned All-Metro Player of the Year honors in The Sun was in 1997, when Boys' Latin's John Glatzel led the Lakers through an unbeaten, title-winning season, never getting beat one-on-one by a rival offensive player.
Unlike Glatzel, whose team allowed just over four goals a game, Kelly didn't have a perfect season. But he came close. Kelly's Eagles lost once in 23 outings on the way to winning the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference crown. Rival attackmen combined for three goals against Kelly, whose team allowed less than six scores per game.
Still, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior fits the mold of Glatzel, who starred at Syracuse. Like Glatzel, Kelly is a repeat All-Metro performer with a penchant for intercepting passes. Kelly also is capable of shadowing any player, delivering sharp, clean checks, then using his speed and mobility to scoop ground balls and run them into his team's offensive transition.
Kelly's abilities led to his assisting on three goals, as well as his being named this year's recipient of the C. Markland Kelly Award, an honor annually bestowed upon the player considered to be the state's best.
"Brennan's the best defenseman I've ever coached," said coach Jake Reed. "He took on other teams' top scorers and shut them down. He knew when to throw checks and when to use the body."
Kelly ranked second on the team behind second-team All-Metro midfielder Bryn Holmes with 92 ground balls. Also a starting defensive back for the Eagles' football team, he will play lacrosse at Georgetown.
Jake Reed
The past season was an emotional one for Reed. It followed a year in which his team missed the playoffs by a half game, a winter when a former player died in a hunting accident and a preseason in which Reed discovered McDonogh's headmaster was not renewing his contract.
Reed, who turns 50 in August, wasn't certain that his 13th and final season was going to be a good one. Yet he retained his composure under pressure to lead the Eagles to the program's second-ever Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference title in a league considered the nation's most difficult.
"With my luck this year, I wasn't quite sure things were going to work out the way we wanted in the end," said Reed, who coached his 400th career game this season. His career record is 255-145 (181-98 at McDonogh), and his son, Travis, a sophomore, was the Eagles' top scorer. "I couldn't ask any more of this team. They just refused to go out losing."
Down 1-0 early in the championship game against No. 2 Boys' Latin, McDonogh rebounded for a 9-8 victory that capped a school-record 22-1 season.
"This is what it comes down to. This is what we worked for," McDonogh senior midfielder Jimmy Daly said in the aftermath of the Boys' Latin win. "There is no greater way to express how much Coach Reed means to us than to give him a championship like this."
Phil Blevins
Calvert Hall, midfield
The senior was perhaps the best all-around player for the fifth-ranked Cardinals.
He did whatever was needed, whether that meant scoring, assisting, playing defense or out-hustling the opposition for a ground ball.
"Phil played both ends of the field. He was the co-MVP of our team along with his brother [Jeremy, an All-Metro second-team goalie]," said Cardinals coach Brian Kelly. "Phil did it all for us."
Blevins totaled a team-high 43 points, comprised of 24 goals and 19 assists.
The Towson University-bound player did so while playing the entire season dealing with his older brother Sid's battle with cancer.
Chris Boland
Boys' Latin, attack
The junior repeat All-Metro and high school All-America performer scored 43 goals and assisted on 56 others, surpassing his efforts of a year ago, when he finished with 41 goals and 36 assists.
An athletic player capable of single-handedly taking over a game, Boland was at his best - scoring 10 points (six goals and four assists) - in a late-season rout of then-No. 2 St. Paul's. Along with senior Tad Stanwick, Boland led the Lakers to an 18-2 record, a No. 2 ranking in The Sun, and a title-game runner-up finish to McDonogh.
Already committed to NCAA champion Johns Hopkins, Boland is the younger brother of Kevin Boland, an All-Metro midfielder at Gilman in 2000.
Brian Carroll
Gilman, midfield
One of the most complete players in Maryland, Carroll, though just a junior, was named a high school All-American as well as The Sun's All-Baltimore City Player of the Year.
Solid as a one-on-one defender, a force when it comes to digging for ground balls and capable of scoring or assisting on goals, Carroll was the leader for the sixth-ranked Greyhounds, the only team to defeat top-ranked, eventual Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference champ McDonogh.
Carroll finished the year with 26 goals and 17 assists, including a feed to his twin brother, Kevin, for the game-winner in Gilman's 10-9 victory over McDonogh.
Jimmy Daly
McDonogh, midfield
Armed with athleticism, a lightning-quick shot and both the size and the field vision to overcome rival defenses, Daly was virtually unstoppable once he got rolling.
The Loyola College-bound, 6-foot senior was dominant in a number of big wins. Daly scored six goals against St. Paul's, and four each in wins over Calvert Hall, St. Mary's and Boys' Latin - the latter in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference title contest.
"Jimmy always scored big goals in the clutch. He has great speed and can shoot with both hands," coach Jake Reed said of Daly, a team captain who finished with 50 goals and 12 assists. "Plus, he was excellent on ground balls."
Sam Eitel
Mount St. Joseph, defense
No matter what Gaels coach Tony Brockmeyer required of Eitel, the unselfish junior was prepared to do it. Eitel played both close defense and long-stick midfield, and displayed tremendous athleticism on the wings during faceoffs.
As the leader on a team that ranked seventh in The Sun, Eitel ranked second on the squad with 53 ground balls and was often matched against the rival team's best offensive player.
"That kid was all over the field. He was very, very impressive," said Calvert Hall coach Brian Kelly, a former college defender. Also a linebacker on the Gaels' football team, Eitel is leaning toward committing to North Carolina, Brockmeyer said.
Gavin Gill
St. Paul's, attack
The repeat All-Metro performer is the third of the talented Gill brothers to play for St. Paul's.
But Gavin Gill has one thing on his older siblings: He is the only one of them to win a Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference title - a feat he accomplished last year as a junior.
This spring, Gill scored 84 points on 28 goals and 56 assists. Most of Gill's assists went to attackmate Bart Wagner, who contributed 53 goals and 14 assists.
With 233 career points, Gill ranks third on the school's all-time list behind his oldest brother, Conor, and Tim Whiteley, son of coach Mitch Whiteley.
Gill will play at Virginia, as did his brothers.
Mike Gvozden
Severna Park, goal
Already committed to NCAA champion Johns Hopkins, the three-time All-Anne Arundel County junior was named The Sun's Anne Arundel County Player of The Year and received the WYNN Award for being Maryland's top high school goalkeeper.
Nearly impossible to beat one-on-one, Gvozden stopped more than 70 percent of the shots he faced, finishing with 177 saves. Coached by collegiate All-American Jimmy Beardmore, Gvozden has nearly 600 career saves.
With Gvozden in goal, the 10th-ranked Falcons won three straight county titles and reached the Class 4A-3A state final three consecutive times, winning the crown in 2004.
Will Harrington
Friends, midfield
The University of Maryland-bound senior led the Quakers to their best season in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference - one that ended with a 12-8 record and a No. 8 ranking in The Sun.
The slender midfielder scored 31 goals, assisted on nine others, "faced off and played tough defense, often going both ways during the game," said coach Rich Seiler. "Most A Conference teams focused their defenses around him with shut-offs and their best long poles."
Harrington scored four goals in a win over previously unbeaten Fallston and three in a victory over St. Mary's.
Ryan Hoff
Dulaney, attack
At times, it appeared the repeat All-Metro player carried the ninth-ranked Lions.
The 5-foot-11, 205-pound senior, who is headed for Notre Dame, scored 93 goals and assisted on 22 others, including the goal by Neal Barthelme that lifted Dulaney to a 14-13, double-overtime victory over Severna Park in the Class 4A-3A state final. Hoff also scored five goals in that game.
In Dulaney's 15-7 victory over defending 2A-1A state champion Pikesville in the Baltimore County championship game, Hoff scored six of his eight goals in the first half, when his Lions led, 8-7. Hoff had 87 goals and 18 assists as a junior, leading the Lions to a state runner-up finish.
Mike Kimmel
Loyola, attack
A talented junior who has committed to NCAA champion Johns Hopkins, Kimmel was the major reason the Dons rose to No. 3 in The Sun's rankings, and why they reached the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference semifinals.
Kimmel finished the season with 37 goals, but was equally competent as a feeder, dishing out 41 assists for a team-high 78 points.
Along with attackmate Tyler Tolson, who scored 42 goals, he was among the league's most potent offensive weapons.
Kimmel's three goals and two assists sparked an 11-5 quarterfinal rout of Gilman in the league quarterfinals.
Scott Matthews
Boys' Latin, defense
As dominant as teammate Chris Boland was on offense, the 6-foot-1 Matthews silenced opposing teams' offensive threats.
Rival players found Matthews to be a nearly insurmountable force on the Lakers' defensive end, his timely checks and clears making him an anchor for coach Bob Shriver.
During portions of the season when the Lakers rotated two goalies, the Ohio State-bound senior's poise helped to smooth transitions.
A three-sport athlete with excellent speed and mobility, Matthews could adjust to runs from sideline to sideline, all the while remaining a stabilizing defensive force.
Alex Ashcroft - Centennial, senior, attack
Steve Bosse - Fallston, senior, attack
Ben Hunt - Severna Park, senior, attack
Randall Cooper - Friends, senior, midfield
Bryn Holmes - McDonogh, junior, midfield
Mitchell Rosensweig - Pikesville, senior, midfield
Tim Skeen - Towson, senior, midfield
Brady Smith - Loyola, senior, midfield
Michael Evans - South River, senior, defense
Charlie Kolkin - Gilman, senior, defense
Adam VanLeeuwen - Westminster, senior, defense
Jeremy Blevins - Calvert Hall, senior, goal
1. McDonogh 22-1
2. Boys' Latin 18-2
3. Loyola 14-3
4. St. Paul's 14-4
5. Calvert Hall 10-6

Note: Teams selected by Lem Satterfield after consultation with The Sun staff and area coaches.

I got my Janome 6600 in February so have a good deal of experience on it, but feel I'm still in the learning stages. When I sew straight stitches it's doing fine, but just a few days ago it started chewing on fabric when I set it for decorative stitches - the blanket stitch and zigzag are what I have tried. The feed dogs move the fabrid ahead for a few stitches then it sits and chews the fabric until I stop it. The thread is then wrapped around the stitch plate and I have to use my ripper to get under there and cut through the stitches. I've done all the usual - new needle, off then on, cleaned out bobbin casing, basically the things I do anytime there's a problem. I've put the dogs up and down just in case they were somehow stuck. I had a deadline and ended up finishing two quilts on my little Brother machine. My husband is going to call the repair shop on Monday and see if he can get any quick help. If it goes into the shop they say to expect a 4 week wait for repair.
Anyone have something like this happen to this machine? It went from working to not working in the blink of an eye!

"I have been on the lookout for MS Office replacement suites that can reliably open Excel 2007/2010 files – in reasonable time. OpenOffice is a lottery while Libre Office takes forever to load a file that contains pivot data.

Man led troopers on chase because 'it was on his bucket list'
A short chase by the Iowa State Patrol ended Thursday morning with an excuse from the driver troopers have never heard.
Troopers said the chase started before 7:30 a.m. on Interstate 80. A trooper attempted to pull a driver of a sedan over on a simple traffic violation.
The driver refused to pull over, and the chase was on from there. More troopers joined the pursuit as the driver led troopers into Des Moines.
The chase ended when a trooper used a PIT maneuver on the sedan. The driver was apprehended peacefully there.
That location is right across the street from an elementary school. Fortunately, no students were at the school at the time.
Troopers had initiated contact with the driver due to expired registration on the sedan. Troopers found nothing in a search of the vehicle.
The driver told troopers he wanted to be chased because "it was on his bucket list."
"In my 28 years, I've never heard that excuse," said Sgt. Scott Bright.
The driver was taken to the Polk County Jail for processing. His name and charges have not yet been released.

Just wanted to say what a fantastic website you have here. So well laid out, easy to follow and as a parent trying to help their child with studying, this has been the best £9.99 ever spent. I will be continuing with this for Higher Maths and also for my younger child to ensure they are keeping up with the course. The worked solutions are so clear and easy to follow and I just cannot thank you enough. Wish there was something similar for the science subjects.
Claire – April 2018
I got an 'A' in my National 5 Maths Exam! I'm very pleased as I did it my first attempt. Your website content definitely helped clarify and consolidate my understanding of the subject.
Nigel – August 2018
Just had a look at the worked solutions for the 2018 N5 Math Past Paper – Calculator was absolutely fine, but some tricky questions in non-calculator part, particularly 19b. We found the non-calculator paper much harder than five previous past papers. Anyway hopefully she has achieved an 'A' Pass and we will definitely be using your excellent site for Higher Maths next term.
Graham – May 2018
I just wanted to let you guys know that you are doing a great job at compiling all these excellent resources, it has been a great help to me and probably many many others. It has allowed me to get a reassuring prelim mark and has given me confidence for the final exam (tomorrow). Thanks for all the help and keep up the good work.
Umar – May 2018
Hello, I decided to write to you to thank you for this website, it has helped me incredibly and the amount of content you have is amazing. I was very happy to discover the many practice papers you have as I had began to run out of papers to do once completed all the SQA past papers. The checklists for the three different units is very helpful and I will definitely be taking these to school with me on the day of my exam to look over! Thank you again for being so helpful to us, it is greatly appreciated and I will be placing any success I have during the National 5 exam on this website due to the endless resources and help you have available. Thank you 🙂 Emily, Nat 5 Maths student.

What may surprise you is that those same foods I shunned as a child, I continued to shun into my adult life. I started this food blog staying away from those same foods. Fish? No way. Sushi? I'll pass. Mussels? Forget about it.
As I started getting more opportunities to attend menu tastings and sample dinners at great area restaurants, I knew I had to let those shunned foods into my life. I don't proclaim to always know the names of certain dishes, or have the best vocabulary for describing them, but I didn't think I could have a food blog I could be proud of without at least giving these food items a chance. And, I have. I'm loving some fish, I'm obsessed with sushi, I tried mussels a couple of weeks ago.
Now, enter: Pelagia Trattoria, a gem of a restaurant in Tampa. This past Monday I had the opportunity to attend a dinner with some of my favorite food bloggers where we tasted samples of new menu items and I was able to try something I never would have before I created my little part of the internet.
As always, Pelagia hosted a fabulous dinner and really showcased their perfectly crafted dishes, courtesy of Chef Andrew Basch and Chef Brett Gardiner. Now, let's get to the food!
With a plethora of beer and wine at our disposal, we settled in for the first course (of ten!) of a Cured Meat & Cheese Board.
I love charcuterie and just looking at the picture of this meat and cheese board again today is making my mouth water. Pelagia can expect to see me in shortly for some wine, cheese, meats, breads. Some of the items you can choose from when building your board include: Serrano Ham, Duck Prosciutto, Auricchio Provolone, and Bel Paese and Taleggio Cheeses.
Next was Chargrilled Octopus with Chorizo Oil, Frisee & Blood Oranges. I've had calamari plenty of times, but always fried so I did have a little hesitation with this dish. In all actuality, it was one of my favorites of the night. Tender and grilled perfectly, it paired so well with the chorizo oil.
Ahhhh! My favorite item of the evening was the lovely Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with Tomato Jam that you see above. All crab, with a beautiful aioli drizzle, this cake was so plentiful and delicious.
Next up: Grilled Pear & Watercress Salad with Maple Bacon, Blue Cheese & Cilantro Pesto. Oh wait, now this was my favorite (do you see a trend here?). I'm a really bit fan of grilled fruit. The juice from the grilled pear drizzled over the salad. I loved the sweet notes in this dish.
This next one, the Sausage & Ricotta Pizza, became my guilty pleasure of the night. Thin, crispy dough, rich sauce, cheese that was perfectly bubbly, flavorful sausage, fresh basil- pizza doesn't get any better than this. It has an elegant quality to it and I can't wait to go back for more.
The Porcini & Black Truffle Cream Cavatelli reminded me of my love for anything truffle. This pasta was so rich, but it was exactly how I would want it to be. I loved the earthiness that the mushrooms provided.
The Squid Ink Linguine, Seared Scallops & Blue Crab was next and another new item for me to try. The linguine has a great flavor and I heard plenty of others around me naming this one their favorite course!
Would you believe me if I told you that I've never had quinoa? Well, it's true, but I've just never been around it, and I've never noticed it on a menu. Luckily, with the Florida Snapper with Charred Yellow Pepper Bisque & Organic Quinoa, I was able to change all that. I cleaned every last morsel of quinoa off my plate- and now I can't wait to have it at other restaurants! The snapper was grilled perfectly and paired so well with the sauteed spinach.
Again, time for some quinoa. The last dish of the evening was a Lamb T-Bone with Minted Quinoa Tabouli & Juniper Berry Saba. The lamb was grilled perfectly and I loved the way it meshed so well with the mint from the quinoa.
Not pictured: White Anchovies, Radish Carpaccio & Orange Zest.
I basically rolled out of Pelagia with all this food in my belly, but it'll be a long time, if ever, before I forget this meal. Thank you to Pelagia for being as wonderful as always!
For you folks who have not had the pleasure of dining at Pelagia, they are located on the ground floor of International Mall's outdoor area, right next to the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, this is most definitely a restaurant you want to visit soon.

I haven't investigated the details, but I'm pretty sure it will end up in restructuring and nothing more. Bankruptcy is not always (and rarely) a complete demolishing of a company and its assets, lol. If anything, it's a good thing.

It's the new Aston Martin Rapide S
It's Aston Martin's 100th anniversary this year, and clearly, this new Rapide is very excited about the prospect. Just look at that face.
Actually, really look at that face, because it's a new one, sitting on an updated version of Aston's rather delectable four door Rapide. It's now called the Rapide S, and features a host of improvements.
The most important of which is underneath the bonnet. Aston has revised its fabulous 6.0-litre V12 (dubbed the AM11) engine to the tune of 555bhp - some 17 per cent more than before.
Torque jumps to 457 lb ft too, up from 442, and as such, the new Rapide S will accelerate from 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds, 0.3 seconds quicker than before. Remember, the battle for car park superiority is won or lost in tenths. Top speed rises to 190mph.
Aston has used its racing V12 technology for this new generation engine, including CNC machined combustion chambers and lighter cams. It's also more efficient - CO2 drops to 332g/km from 335g/km while economy rises to 19.9mpg. Though if you've ever experienced an Aston V12 in anger, good luck getting into the teens…
Aston has lowered this naturally aspirated V12 by 19mm up front, thus dropping the centre of gravity which they claim helps front end turn in, while there are also improvements to the stability control and adaptive damping. You get 'normal', 'sport' and 'track' modes, and you don't need us to tell you which mode to Sellotape permanently.
Aston product development chef Ian Minards tells us "transmission calibration, ADS refinement, braking capability and engine output optimisation are among the many 'ingredients' which the team here at Gaydon have used to create a sports car of unerring quality and excitement." Quite.
There's a new piano black interior pack, with darker instrument surrounds and finer headlining, there have been improvements to the noise, vibration and harshness levels (NVH), and you can even engage your inner James Bond by asking the 'Q' division to personalise the interior to your exact preferences. Marvellous.
So how about that face then? There have been revisions to the back too, and overall it is still a lovely looking thing, but are we alone in thinking the outgoing Rapide had a bit more elegance? Prices will be announced next month, but for now, discuss: old or new?

US Attorney Ortiz defends office's actions in case of MIT hacker
US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz broke her silence late Wednesday night and defended her office's actions against Aaron Swartz, the open information advocate who took his life last week while facing federal charges for hacking into MIT's computer network.
Ortiz, who charged the 26-year-old Swartz with offenses including wire and computer fraud, has faced a firestorm of criticism in the wake of Swartz's hanging himself inside his Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment, on Friday.
After declining to discuss the case for days, Ortiz, in a statement released late Wednesday night, said, "As a parent and a sister, I can only imagine the pain felt by the family and friends of Aaron Swartz, and I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who knew and loved this young man. I know that there is little I can say to abate the anger felt by those who believe that this office's prosecution of Mr. Swartz was unwarranted and somehow led to the tragic result of him taking his own life.
"I must, however, make clear that this office's conduct was appropriate in bringing and handling this case. The career prosecutors handling this matter took on the difficult task of enforcing a law they had taken an oath to uphold, and did so reasonably.''
Elliot Peters, a lawyer for Swartz, responded sharply to Ortiz's statement early Thursday morning.
"Thirteen felonies and six months in jail was never a fair outcome for Aaron,'' Peters wrote in an e-mail. "And the charges that Aaron was involved in a fraud to obtain JSTOR's 'money or property' should not have been brought. Ms. Ortiz, you blew it, tragically.''
Swartz, who had written about his history with depression, faced federal charges that he used MIT's network to download millions of academic articles from a subscription database.
Ortiz, in her statement, said that the prosecutors trying the case recognized there was no evidence that Swartz committed his alleged crimes for financial gain and that, while a violation of the law, they did not warrant the "severe punishments'' authorized by Congress. She noted that her office never sought the maximum penalties for the charges.
"That is why in the discussions with his counsel about a resolution of the case this office sought an appropriate sentence that matched the alleged conduct — a sentence that we would recommend to a judge of six months in a low security setting.''
At the same time, Ortiz said, Swartz's lawyers could have recommended a sentence of probation, and any final sentence imposed would have been up to the judge.
"As federal prosecutors, our mission includes protecting the use of computers and the Internet by enforcing the law as fairly and responsibly as possible,'' Ortiz said. "We strive to do our best to fulfill this mission every day.''
Her office released the statement shortly before 10:45 p.m. on Wednesday, and a spokeswoman said the release was delayed in part because Ortiz was traveling while trying to work on it.
Swartz's family has blamed federal prosecutors for his death, saying his suicide was the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach.
According to lawyers who were defending Swartz, prosecutors had insisted that he plead guilty to 13 felony charges and serve several months in prison. Swartz had rejected the offer, and his trial was expected to begin this spring.
At Swartz's funeral Tuesday, his father, Robert Swartz, said his son was "killed by the government,'' according to published reports.
By Wednesday evening, a White House petition to remove Ortiz from office had received more than 38,000 signatures.
"A prosecutor who does not understand proportionality and who regularly uses the threat of unjust and overreaching charges to extort plea bargains from defendants regardless of their guilt is a danger to the life and liberty of anyone who might cross her path,'' the petition read.
Ortiz's husband, Thomas J. Dolan, also drew sharp criticism this week after defending Ortiz on Twitter. In one message posted Monday, Dolan wrote: "Truly incredible that in their own son's obit they blame others for his death and make no mention of the 6-month offer.''
The message drew a sharp response, and by Tuesday afternoon Dolan's account had been deleted.
