The Truth About False Confessions
Looking for expert consultation and/or testimony?
Contact Professor Alan Hirsch
Friday, September 21, 2007
A public
defender writes: I suspect that even if ending bad interrogation methods and requiring videotaping solve most of the
problem, false confessions aren't going to go away completely. I believe we just had a case where a client admitted to something
to protect someone else, and there will always be the Karrs who confess falsely for the notoriety.

Apropos my recent post
noting that videotaping interrogations is not a panacea, a perceptive reader writes: Seeing the bad interrogation techniques brings to life for juries how false confessions
happen. No panacea, but sunlight is the best disinfectant.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAQ) - A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to authorize more money to clean up the Great Lakes.
The co-chairs of the Senate Great Lakes Task Force – Mark Kirk of Illinois and Carl Levin of Michigan – introduced the measure.
It would continue the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a long-range effort that includes thousands of projects aimed at curbing toxic and run-off pollution, and invasive species.
In April, President Obama included another $300-million toward the initiative.
In the last four years, about $1.5 billion has been spent on 1,500 projects designed to improve sewage emissions, reduce algae, restore wildlife habitat, battle foreign species, and more.
The new Senate bill would also re-authorize the Great Lakes Legacy Act.
It helps remove contaminated sediments are more than 30 locations.
The measure would create an inter-agency task force to make the Legacy spending more efficient. It would also create closer ties among federal, state, and local governments.

The Yamaha XT600E is about as straightforward, reliable and solid as an old school trail bike gets. The Yamaha XT600E was the last of a long line of 4-valve air-cooled Yamaha singles, starting off with the original, much-loved XT500 of the mid-70s. This is a true trailie: decent off-round and straightforward and ujn-fussy on. Don't expect any frills or motorway ...

The MZ Skorpion was stylishly designed (by acclaimed Brits Seymour-Powell) single using a Yamaha engine which proved a refreshingly able antidote to Japanese fours in the mid-to-late 90s. Light, lithe, affordable, generally reliable and reassuringly practical.

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.

When faced with the prospect of an exciting new genre – supermoto – Honda eschewed the concepts of excitement and boldness and instead produced the Honda FMX650 - a squidgy suet of a motorcycle. It is perky enough if you're a new biker, possibly, but unless mere adequacy is your buying criteria there are better motorcycles than the Honda FMX650. ...

Like the race version, Honda's road-going RC45 doesn't quite hit the spot, but it's still an impressive piece of exquisite engineering. As the ultimate '90s Superbike, the Honda RC45 lacks the pure focus of a Yamaha R1, the visceral punch of a Ducati 916 or the exotic edginess of a Bimota SB6R. Also, people might think your Honda RC45 is a Honda RVF400 ...

The Honda VT600 Shadow is pretty much the antithesis of the original chopper credo. If the first true chops were all about bad boy, bristly individuality, the 600 Shadow is about as soft, unthreatening and unoriginal as it gets. It's bland, novice-friendly and safe and predictable, but you';ve really got to ask yourself if you want that sort of thing. ...

This was Suzuki's answer to the Kawasaki Zephyr 750 and although the Suzuki GSX750 has its admirers, it never really caught on in the UK and there aren't very many about secondhand. The Suzuki GSX750 is a competent performer but the soft suspension and indifferent finish detract from an otherwise user-friendly package.

Consistently slaughtered for not being the fastest / lightest / latest but the Suzuki GSX600F is a superb all-rounder. It doesn't cost the earth and is fast enough to be exciting too.

Some things are so beautiful you just want to look at them and the MV Agusta Brutale 750 is arguably the most stunning roadster type motorbike anyone can own, especially the Serie Oro version.

A Kinder Cut: Advances in Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer
Before the development of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted treatments for cancer, there was surgery. And today, the physical removal of cancerous tissue remains a cornerstone of treatment for most tumor types.
But cutting into the body comes with many risks, and it leaves its mark. In parallel with their colleagues working on the systemic treatment of cancer, academic surgeons have been performing research to improve the outcomes of surgical oncology, attempting to minimize damage, maximize effectiveness, and improve reconstruction of damaged tissue.
Smaller Surgeries
For example, for tumors at the base of the skull, "Traditionally…they would have to open up the face and even maybe remove part of the face to get at these tumors, or come in from above, opening up the skull and moving the brain aside," explains Dr. Carter Van Waes, chief of the Head and Neck Surgery Branch at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. "It was successful in curing many patients or…palliating the disease, but the functional and aesthetic outcomes were short of what people desired."
The next surgical revolution came in the 1980s and 90s, with the rise of minimally invasive endoscopy applied to head and neck surgery. The endoscope allows surgeons to operate through existing openings, such as the nose and mouth, or through relatively small incisions, potentially reducing surgical morbidity.
Recently, the Southwest Oncology Group tested endoscopic transoral (through the mouth) surgery in a phase II clinical trial for patients with early-stage laryngeal cancer. Although the trial did not have a standard, open-surgery control group, says senior study investigator Dr. David Schuller from Ohio State University, "Subjectively we're seeing absolutely no difference in terms of survival outcomes, but certainly are impressed with the decreased morbidity, the decreased length of hospital stay, and the decrease of blood loss. So we're cautiously optimistic.
"If we could continue to use surgical modalities to help us with cytoreduction at the same time that we decrease morbidity - enabling the patients to move on quickly to nonsurgical adjuvant therapies - that's the hope," he continues. Investigators are now experimenting with robotics-assisted endoscopic surgery in the head and neck region, to assess its feasibility and potentially increased surgical precision in small physiologic spaces.
Putting the Pieces Back Together
Fortunately, reconstructive surgery for the head and neck region has also made great strides in the past 20 years. Before modern tissue transfer techniques became possible, simple skin and nonvascular bone grafts were used to close a remaining defect and prevent infection. But these techniques were not adequate to restore normal appearance, and in the case of bone grafts, were often reabsorbed by the body.
An important advance in surgical reconstruction came with the development of pedicled (attached) regional flap transfer, which allowed surgeons to cut a piece of tissue from a nearby structure (such as a chest muscle) and move it, still attached to its blood supply, to the site of the surgical defect.
Though a vast improvement over nonvascular grafts, this technique was limited to nearby donor tissue. Additionally, the flaps could have problems healing, particularly from tension caused by the attachment to the donor site or damage to the recipient site from radiation therapy. These problems were addressed by the development of free tissue transfer, in which microvascular surgeons remove a piece of muscle, bone, or both, from elsewhere in the body, along with the associated blood vessels, and reattach those blood vessels at the transplant site.
"More and more head and neck surgeons have become trained in microvascular techniques, and I think, once a critical mass of microvascular surgeons was available to perform these procedures and analyze the effect of these reconstructions - showing their superiority in many instances - that really allowed it to become standard [care]," explains Dr. Theodoros Teknos, chief of Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery at the University of Michigan.
Free-flap transfer can also be combined with dental and facial prosthetics, to include artificial ears, eyes, teeth, or other body parts and provide a more natural appearance for patients.
Looking to the future, says Dr. Teknos, "The next big phase in reconstruction is going to be tissue engineering." To avoid the donor-site damage that can be caused by harvesting muscle or bone for free-flap transfer, and to provide more personalized reconstructions, investigators are experimenting with growing custom bone, using adult stem cells, or protein or gene therapy.
Recently, investigators in Germany succeeded in growing a new jaw bone for a man who had undergone an extensive tumor surgery. The researchers filled a custom mesh cage with bone mineral blocks, bone marrow containing hematopoietic stem cells, and bone morphogenic protein and implanted it into the patient's back muscle, creating a new piece of custom-fitted bone with a healthy blood supply that they successfully transferred to the jaw.
For both future ablative and reconstructive advances, participation from all the associated specialties will remain essential. "Bringing together the thought leaders from all over the country, from all of the disciplines…not just the therapeutic, but also the rehabilitative and the quality-of-life expertise…I think that's what's going to accelerate the productivity in clinical research," concludes Dr. Schuller.

Comments On Jul 08, 2013:A few years back i purchased the exact same grip and it was stamped "Made in USA". Not anymore, now they are stamped "Made in China". I can say that the USA made ones were a long lasting, comfortable, no slip grip. I guess time will only tell if the China made ones will hold up the same. Also, one of the features not listed in the product details is these grip have 3 grooves for wire tying. A nice feature if you want to be extra certain the grip doesn't move. These would be a 5 star grip if they were still made in the USA.

In the summer we probably average 120 miles a week, and 50-70 miles a week in the fall. These are rough miles too, so for the money these were a great product, but I recommend bying them 2 pair at a time if you ride like us.

I know it happens every year, but this is crazy. A stiff burst of winter hits the Spokane area on Sunday, and what do basketball fans at Gonzaga do? They go camping!
KHQ's Kelsey Watts snapped a picture of the tent city outside the McCarthy Athletic Center on Monday morning. She counted a total of 114 tents full of students waiting to get the best seats for Monday's game against West Virginia.
I can understand the excitement. I really can. West Virginia is a respectable program led by none other than Bob Huggins, one of the most well-known and talented coaches in the business. And yes, I remember the Zags beat the Mountaineers last spring in the NCAA Tournament - a game Gonzaga was not supposed to win.
But camping out in a snowstorm when there are perfectly warm beds available? Just plain crazy. I'll watch the game from the comfort of my leather sofa with a nice drink in my hand while the kids are asleep in their warm beds.

FLORENCE COUNTY, S.C.----As archaeologists continue to investigate the site in Florence County where fragments of human bones and several Native American artifacts were discovered, local tribal leaders can't wait to unearth more clues from the past.
"It does help show the history of the native people in the state of South Carolina, we've always been here and we always will be," said Chief Clyde "Thinking Bird" Strickland. "It's great, it helps connect the areas to the areas that have been left in the shade."
According to archaeologists working at the site, this is one of the first of its kind in Florence County, but for Chief Strickland, it comes as no surprise.
"It's going to happen on and off as construction and development continues to happen," he said.
And while they're excited to learn more about their history, they still have some concerns about going forward with the investigation. They're worried about the safety of the site as well as maintaining the preservation of the artifacts. Archaeologists on site say looters have been known to come to sites like this in the past.
"We hope that nothing like this takes place, we don't want anyone going out to any sites, it should be treated no differently than a graveyard, it's totally disrespectful," said Strickland.
But Chief Strickland said the tribe will continue to work with other area tribes like the Lumbee and Pee Dee Indian Nation, to maintain the integrity of the artifacts.
"We're just trying to make things work together, make the right decision, and hope everyone keeps in mind originally what this is all about, which is the native people and our history in this area," he said."
Local law enforcement has been notified of the site and will be maintaining a close eye on it over the next 6-8 weeks as archaeologists continue to work.

Suppé, Franz von (1819 - 1895)
The musical director of the cathedral, Giovanni Cigalla, introduced him to the basic principles of music. The military bandmaster, Giuseppe Ferrari, taught Suppé to play the flute, which was to remain his favorite instrument. The two musicians also instructed Suppé in musical composition, and he soon began to produce short compositions of his own. After his father died in 1835, Suppé and his mother moved to Vienna, where his maternal grandfather lived. Suppé began to study medicine, but soon gave it up in favor of music. He financed his musical education in part by giving Italian lessons. After completing his studies he won the post of musical director at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna. Later, he frequently conducted in Bratislava and Sopron. Franz von Suppé, together with Johann Strauss and Karl Millöcker, was one of the principal exponents of classical Viennese operetta. In addition to operettas–The Beautiful Galatea, Banditenstreiche, Boccaccio–he also composed symphonies, music for the stage, a mass, requiem and operas. Franz von Suppé died in Vienna on May 21, 1895.

Model boats on display in harbor during annual Drayton Harbor Days festival
Published on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
Every boat has a story, and over the years Blaine Harbor has hosted a lot of them. Many of those stories are preserved in miniature at Blaine Marina, where president Mike Dodd has been building models of commercial fishing vessels for 15 years.
His collection of 56 replicas will be on display in the breezeway between the Blaine Harbor Boating Center and the Blaine Harbor offices on Marine Drive during Drayton Harbor Days on August 3–4.
"Almost all of the models are of boats that have been through Blaine or Bellingham harbor," Dodd said. "They're not perfect, but they've been fun to build. And some of them aren't bad!"
A brief backstory accompanies many of Dodd's model ships. For instance, a black and red seiner called "Five C's" has a card
on it that reads: "The Five C's was originally built as the Fidalgo III for Whitney Fidalgo Seafoods. It was purchased by Paul Croft of Blaine, renamed, and fished Alaska and Puget Sound for many years. After being purchased by Dan Thomas, the boat only fished Puget Sound. At last report the Five C's was in Alaska being used as a live-aboard and not fishing anymore."
Dodd said the models usually take about two weeks to build, working a couple hours per day. They are made from a variety of materials, including wood and cardboard.
Dodd said he first started making models when he was a kid. He has an extensive collection of model hydroplane racing boats he's built over the years. Fulfilling a request from a friend, Dodd built his first replica of a commercial fishing vessel 15 years ago.
"One turned into 40," he said. "Overall, I've probably built over 100."
Dodd's personal collection represents less than half of the replicas he's built. Many are in possession of those who requested a replica of their life-size fishing vessel.
The fishing industry has always been a major component of Blaine's maritime history, and Drayton Harbor Days celebrates the connection between Blaine and the sea. Richard Sturgill, president of Drayton Harbor Maritime, said Dodd's work helps highlight this connection.
"It's a great collection that shows a cross-section of Blaine's fishing industry," Sturgill said. "It's appropriate that it's on display during Drayton Harbor Days."
This marks the fourth year Dodd has been invited to display his collection.

At long last, there's good news coming from the Salt Lake City Public Library.
Six months after its former director resigned amid a storm of criticism, the atmosphere at the library is mostly sunny, and the forecast looks pretty bright, too.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The turnaround, according to those close to the library, is due to acting Director Linda Hamilton and her deputy, Karen Okabe. The Library Board, Friends of the Library, the City Council and even the Library Employees Organization praise Hamilton, a veteran government administrator, who also is the chief administrative officer for Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon.
Since her arrival Nov. 28 — a month after embattled Director Beth Elder's departure — Hamilton has spent about three-quarters of her time at the library, but hopes to move on when a permanent director is hired, perhaps by year's end.
Under Elder, the library staff looked to be in open rebellion. She had instituted a management shake-up that included demotions and led to retirements. She also had clamped down on communications, including employee emails and Facebook postings. To many, the library had fallen into disarray.
But employee morale has since rebounded and staffers are optimistic, said Brooke Young, a 15-year employee of the library and vice chairwoman of the employees group.
"The staff knows where we all stand now," she said. "We have someone [in Hamilton] who is actively trying to make things better."
Librarians feel freer to communicate, Young said, and staffers were included in formulating the annual budget.
And Friends of the Library, the nonprofit fundraising group that helped push for the ex-director's ouster, is friendly with the acting director.
"We've seen terrific improvements at the library. I call it the rehabilitation of the library," Friends President Jeannine Marlowe said. Hamilton and Okabe "stepped right up and began working for everyone."
Marlowe, who interacts a lot with library employees, said "they are happy and excited to be at the library again."
Hamilton is doing more than revamping communications and personnel policies. For instance, the library's proposed budget for the coming fiscal year reveals a new strategy for updating its systems.
Under Hamilton's plan, the library would contract with City Hall for use of its finance and accounting software, rather than embarking on a costly upgrade of the library's outdated system. The library also would roll its information technology unit into City Hall's IT department. And instead of continuing to hire its own legal counsel, the library would contract for services with the City Attorney's Office.
Those moves would save the library money in an era when budgets are flat and help it move further into the digital age, said library spokeswoman Julianne Hancock.
Upon their arrival at the library, Hamilton said she and Okabe conducted one-on-one interviews with all the managers and went to all the staff meetings.
"We spent the first five or six weeks just listening," Hamilton said. "We got an enormous amount of information."
Beyond deficiencies in personnel policies, they discovered "huge holes" in the accounting and financial systems, Hamilton said, and IT was "awful."
Despite the crisis, employees continued to perform well, Hamilton said.
"When morale was awful, the productivity never slipped," she said. "That's a real testament to the employees here. We have good people."
Hamilton's administrative experience has paid off, said Kevin Werner, Library Board president.
"We brought Linda in to focus on the internal aspects of the library," he said. "She is very good and worth every penny."Next Page >

And visitors will have more opportunities to see the birds waddle around on land and dart through the water — just as they were born to do off the coast of Africa.
"It's going to be fun," said Jess Phillips, manager of Rock Island and its surroundings at the zoo.
Hutchinson says tiers and tunnels and indoor and outdoor spaces will give visitors unprecedented views of the penguins.
"The viewers are going to be able to see them from every angle possible," he said.
Officials say the larger space also will allow the zoo to double the current population of about 50 birds. They say breeding efforts based on a population of 100 birds will vastly increase the colony's value to the global African penguin population by increasing its ability to establish diverse genetic lines.
City tourism officials also believe the new facility will boost attendance at the zoo, drawing in people from the Baltimore area and beyond.
"The zoo has a real opportunity to drive additional visitation," said Tom Noonan, president and CEO of Visit Baltimore. "By doubling the number of penguins and adding opportunities for visitors to engage and immerse themselves in the penguin habitat, the zoo is in a great position to be the destination to visit for African penguins on the East Coast."
Baltimore-based construction and contracting company Whiting-Turner is already at work.
Hutchinson says he sees the exhibit bringing the zoo back to its heyday in the 1950s as a favorite destination for city residents, students and travelers to Baltimore, like the National Aquarium in the Inner Harbor.
"It firms up our place in the national zoo community," he said. "It gives us the opportunity to be one of those zoos that's taking the next step."
African penguin exhibit
The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore's new $10.4 million, 1.5-acre exhibit for African penguins is expected to open to the public in October 2014. The 10,500-square-foot facility will allow the zoo, which currently has space for about 50 penguins, to double the population. It will have a state-of-the-art filtration system, saving about 7 million gallons of water a year. Tiers and tunnels and indoor and outdoor spaces will give visitors unprecedented views of the penguins.

Thanks a lot Jerry Brown. Another example of an old-world politician failing to understand new-world business. No, this does not level the playing field for brick and mortar retailers, this just sends tax money to other states. On a side note: bravo, Amazon.

Double Buffering
From Nokia Developer Wiki
Article Metadata
Created: senthil_k (30 Jan 2008)
Last edited: hamishwillee (30 Jul 2013)
When drawing animated images directly on the screen, many times an undesirable effect named flickering is perceived.
A common technique to avoid this is to draw images on an off-screen buffer, and them copy its contents to the screen when the drawing operations are finished. To implement this technique two buffers are required, hence the term "double buffering". This off-screen buffer has the same dimensions of the screen.
During the time of MIDP 1.0 phones, there was no Java support for this technique, so the developer had to implement it.
However, for MIDP 2.0 phones, the GameCanvas API supports double-buffering automatically. Here you can find a sample of this technique.

Linfield loses lead, then game in NCAA playoffs
Dec 7, 2013
News-Register Staff
WHITEWATER, Wis. – An early 17-0 lead for Linfield College melted, then disappeared, and the Wildcats lost 28-17 to UW-Whitewater in the NCAA Division III quarterfinal playoff game.
Linfield's lead was the only thing that melted in Perkins Stadium, where temperatures barely reached the teens. UW-Whitewater quarterback Matt Behrendt threw four consecutive touchdown passes, three to Jake Kumerow, and Linfield's high-powered offense was no match in the second half for the vaunted Warhawk defense.
Linfield quarterback Josh Yoder scored from 3 yards out for a 7-0 Wildcat lead, moments after Yoder connected with Evan Peterson for 39 years to the Warhawk 3-yard line.
On its next possession, Linfield turned the ball over on downs at the UWW 1-yard line, but the Wildcats quickly added 10 points with a field goal by Josh Repp and a 60-yard touchdown pass from Yoder to Peterson.
From there, it was all UWW. Linfield was plagued with second-half turnovers, including one that snuffed a Wildcat drive at the UWW 20-yard line.
The loss ends a record-setting scoring season for Linfield, which has strung the school's continuing national record out to 58 consecutive winning seasons.

Unmanned Aircraft Study of Stratospheric Water Vapor & Ozone, and Climate
Global Monitoring Division - ESRL-GMD
This story entered on 16th Sep, 2011 12:16:42 PM PST
Introduction: Five NOAA/ESRL and five CIRES cooperative institute scientists will operate four atmospheric instruments including two ozone sensors, one water vapor sensor, and one greenhouse gases sensor for methane, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride on the NASA Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to study the earth's Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL, 13 to 18 km). The Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) is a series of four deployments from tropical and mid-latitude locations (Edwards AFB, California; Darwin, Australia; and TBD locations in Southeast Asia) over the next four years. The high-altitude, long-duration science flights for this deployment begin from NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards AFB, California on 7 October and end by 15 November. At least one test flight and three science flights are planned. NOAA scientists also will assist in the flight planning and instrument integration for ATTREX.

While the northern provinces of Cantabria and Asturias are popular holiday terrain for Spaniards and the French, they remain hardly touched by the mass tourism of the Mediterranean coast, mostly because of the somewhat unreliable weather. But the sea is warm enough for swimming in the summer months, and the sun does shine, if not every day; it's the warm, moist climate, too, that's responsible for the forests and rich vegetation that give the region its name, Costa Verde, or the Green Coast. The provinces also boast old and elegant seaside towns, and a dramatic landscape that features tiny, isolated coves along the coast and, inland, the fabulous Picos de Europa, with peaks, sheer gorges and some of Europe's most spectacular montane wildlife.
Cantabria, centred on the city of Santander and formerly part of Old Castile, was long a conservative bastion amid the separatist leanings of its coastal neighbours. Santander itself, the modern capital, is an elegant if highly conventional resort, linked by ferry to Plymouth and Portsmouth in Britain. Either side lie attractive, lower-key resorts, crowded and expensive in August especially, but quieter during the rest of the year. The best are Castro Urdiales, to the east, and Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera to the west. Perhaps the pick of the province's towns, though, is the beautiful Santillana del Mar, overloaded with honey-coloured mansions and, at times, with tourists, too. Inland lies a series of prehistoric caves: the most famous, Altamira, is no longer open to the public but is explained by a great museum, while another can be seen at Puente Viesgo, near Santander.
To the west lie the towering cliffs and rugged coves of Asturias, a land with its own idiosyncratic traditions, which include status as a principality (the heir to the Spanish throne is known as the Príncipe de Asturias), and a distinctive culture that incorporates bagpipes and cider (sidra – served from above head-height to add fizz). Asturias has a base of heavy industry, especially mining and steelworks – and a long-time radical and maverick workforce – but for the most part, the coastline is a delight, with wide, rolling meadows leading down to the sea. Tourism here is largely local, with a succession of old-fashioned and very enjoyable seaside towns such as Ribadesella, Llanes and Cudillero. Asturias also holds three sizeable cities: Oviedo, a delightful regional capital with a recently restored old centre; Avilés, at its best during the wild Carnaval celebrations; and nearby Gijón, which enjoys a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene as well as good beaches.
Inland, everything is dominated by the Picos de Europa, which in fact take in parts of León, as well as Cantabria and Asturias, though for simplicity the whole national park is covered in this chapter. A quiet pleasure on the peripheries of the mountains, as in Cantabria, is the wealth of Romanesque, and even rare pre-Romanesque, churches found in odd corners of the hills. These reflect the history of the old Asturian kingdom – the embryonic kingdom of Christian Spain – which had its first stronghold in the mountain fortress of Covadonga, and spread slowly south with the Reconquest.Read More
The FEVE railway
The FEVE railway
Communications in Cantabria and Asturias are generally slow, with the one main road following the coast through the foothills to the north of the Picos de Europa. If you're not in a hurry, you may want to make use of the narrow-gauge FEVE rail line (feve.es), which is unmarked on many maps and independent of the main RENFE system; note that rail passes are not valid on this service. The FEVE line can be broadly split into three routes: Bilbao in the Basque Country to Santander; Santander to Oviedo (where local services serve the triangle of Gijón, Avilés and Oviedo); and Oviedo to Ferrol in Galicia. The route is, on the whole, breathtakingly beautiful, skirting beaches, crossing rías and snaking through a succession of limestone gorges, but you will need several days to see it in its entirety. An expensive "train hotel" runs at night, but with the scenery the main attraction of the route, it's not the most rational way to get around.
22: Saint's day fiesta at San Vicente de la Barquera.
Start of Lent: Carnaval Week-long festivities in Avilés, Gijón, Oviedo, Mieres, Santoña – fireworks, fancy dress and live music.
Good Friday Re-enactment of the Passion at Castro Urdiales.
Easter Sunday and Monday: Bollo Cake festival at Avilés.
First weekend after Easter: La Folia Torch-lit procession at San Vicente de la Barquera; a statue of the Virgin Mary is carried through town on a fishing boat.
29: La Amuravela Cudillero enacts an ironic review of the year – and then proceeds to obliterate memories.
Throughout July Weekly fiestas in Llanes, with Asturian dancers balancing pine trees on their shoulders and swerving through the streets. Also, tightrope walking and live bands down at the harbour.
First Friday: Coso Blanco Nocturnal parade at Castro Urdiales.
Mid-July: Festival de Folk Cultural fiesta at San Vicente de la Barquera.
15: Traditional festival at Comillas, with greased-pole climbs, goose chases and other such events.
25: Festival of St James Cangas de Onis.
Throughout August: Festival Internacional Music and cultural festival at Santander. This being one of the wealthiest cities of the north, you can usually depend on the festival featuring some prestigious acts.
First or second weekend: Descenso Internacional del Sella Mass canoe races from Arriondas to Ribadesella down the Río Sella, with fairs and festivities in both towns.
First Sunday: Asturias Day Celebrated above all at Gijón.
12: Fiesta at Llanes.
15: El Rosario The fishermen's fiesta at Luarca, when the Virgin is taken to the sea.

7–9: Running of the bulls at Ampuero (Santander).
19: Americas Day In Asturias, celebrating the thousands of local emigrants in Latin America; at Oviedo, there are floats, bands and groups representing every Latin American country. The exact date for this can vary.
21: Fiesta de San Mateo At Oviedo, usually a continuation of the above festival.
Last Sunday: Campoo Day Held at Reinosa, and featuring a parade in traditional dress.
29: Romería de San Miguel At Puente Viesgo.
First or second weekend: Orujo Local-liquor festival in Potes.
30: San Andrés Saint's day fiesta, celebrated with a small regatta at Castro Urdiales. The tradition is to sample sea bream and snails.
Asturian food and drink
Asturian food and drink
Asturian food is not for the faint-hearted, and it's certainly not for vegetarians. The signature dish is fabada, a dense haricot-bean stew floating with pungent chunks of meat: black pudding, chorizo and ham. It's served in a round terracotta dish, and you mop up the juice with the ubiquitous hunk of solid bread. Seafood is another feature, from sea urchins – particularly popular in Gijón – to sea bream and squid. The region produces a huge variety of handmade cheeses, most notably the veined and slightly spicy cabrales, which, in its purest form, is made with cow-, sheep- and goat-milk combined. Another variety is a small cone-shaped cheese, known as afuega'l pitu, which sometimes has a wrinkled exterior owing to its having been hung in cloth.
One sight you won't miss is waiters and punters pouring sidra (cider) – which you can only order by the bottle – from above their heads into wide-rimmed glasses. The idea is that you knock back the frothing brew in one go. Since it's a point of honour for the waiters to stare straight ahead rather than look at the glasses, and any residue that you don't drink within a minute or two is summarily discarded on the floor, it's hardly surprising the region seems to reek of stale cider.

After more
than 60 years, a recent repeal will allow people to fish using a spear in Collier County state waters. The repeal officially goes into effect on June 30.
Officials say the decision should help minimize the population of nonnative
lionfish that have been hurting native species.
Experts say
spearfishing is one of the most effective methods for lionfish control and
removal, along with the use of hand-held nets.
Collier County commissioners sent a letter to
the FWC in February requesting the repeals in January - shortly after the
hook-and-line capture of the first lionfish to be documented in state waters
off the county.
approved the request in April.

SPOKANE, Wash.-- A Moses Lake girl's dream came true Thursday night when she privately met members of Rascal Flatts. Kelli Ritter celebrated her 16th birthday and six years in remission from leukemia on Thursday too.
Ritter posted a picture on KREM 2 News' Facebook page asking to meet the band. The photo went viral and reached radio deejays in Sandpoint, Idaho. Ritter's mother, Josie, contacted the deejays who helped set up a meet and greet prior to Rascal Flatts' concert in Spokane.
"The lead singer Gary came off stage to sing with Kelli on the side. I can not express how much I appreciate everyone's help in making this wish come true," said Josie Ritter.

I really like the one with the sphere and lightning bolts (the one of the bottom) and the peice right above that. I think the top one has a lot of empty space that could just be cropped off at the top. Other than that, I think these are some really nice illustrations.
Great work,
thanks GK,
all images have about 1.5 cm bleed, more on the top so they can be moved around depending on the final typo. As they were done before a type layout, this seemed the safe way.

Very nice stuff ... It has a kind of Perry Rhodan feeling to it - can it be that Heyne is publishing some of this stuff?
The compositional problems people see are inmy opinion not existent - I can see the covers working with the Headline and the wrap around.
what I like most is the consitency in style making every book on the one hand unique but on the other hand coherent.
Fine work and I hope to see more stuff from you.

ANTARCTICA: An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent. Gabrielle Walker. xxiv + 388 pp. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013. $27.
SECRETS OF THE ICE: Antarctica's Clues to Climate, the Universe, and the Limits of Life. Veronica Meduna. vi + 225 pp. Yale University Press/Auckland University Press, 2012. $40.
If you, like me, have wished, hoped, tried and failed to find a way to visit Antarctica, Gabrielle Walker's Antarctica: An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent may be the next best thing. Unlike the numerous tomes that provide a tourist's eye view or a historical recounting, Walker tells in rich detail what it's like to survive and do science on the only continent never inhabited by human beings. She spends time with dozens of investigators, revealing both their work and the inner workings of their minds. By dividing the book into geographic chapters, each opened with a map, Walker offers a diverse sampling of the seventh continent and the science done there. Although heavy on biology, disciplines span several of the earth sciences and even some astronomy and space exploration.
All that's missing from Antarctica are pictures, which brings me to Veronika Meduna's Secrets of the Ice: Antarctica's Clues to Climate, the Universe, and the Limits of Life. Meduna's volume offers a worthy piece of writing in its own right, but the color photographs (more than 150 of them) set it apart. She also brings a slightly different perspective as a guest of Antarctica New Zealand at Scott Base and at several remote stations.
Although the authors share many locales and experiences, they never cover exactly the same ground. Rather than being alternatives, these books are simply complementary. I couldn't decide between the two, and I heartily recommend taking them together.

VIDEO: Citizen Scientists Aid Researchers in Studying Camel Crickets
They may bounce really high and look strange, but don't worry, they are harmless...they even scavenge for crumbs off of your floor! A continental-scale citizen science campaign was launched in order to study the spread and frequency of native and nonnative camel crickets in human homes across North America.
Mary Jane Epps, PhD, an author of the paper, went into more detail about the study and significance of citizen scientists in an interview with Katie-Leigh Corder, web managing editor.

Paris…Venice…London… just saying the names of these cities conjures visions of romance. All of their unique attributes are too numerous to name, but let's start with a few: the beauty, the history, the culture—not to mention iconic attractions that simply must be seen. Eiffel Tower, anyone? These six timeless European cities will inspire you now and for decades to come.
In the British capital tradition reigns supreme. (What else would you expect from a monarchy that has held power since 1066?) Add Gothic cathedrals, gilded palaces and veddy proper customs like afternoon tea, and you've got the very definition of a classic European city.
Do: Join your fellow visitors at Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard—the ultimate in pomp and circumstance. In Westminster Abbey, roam among the royal tombs of Edward the Confessor, Henry V and Elizabeth I, among others. Gaze at the crown jewels in the Tower of London. And be sure to snap some photos in front of London's famous Big Ben—the 316-foot clock tower that rises over the Houses of Parliament.
Eat: Head to a traditional British pub like Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, where you can sip ale and enjoy pub grub like steak and kidney pie, as did Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson in their time. Considered London's oldest restaurant, Covent Garden's Rules was established in 1798. Here, you can expect such classic English cuisine as game and roasts and sticky toffee pudding for dessert (rules.co.uk).
Stay: At the posh Stafford Hotel you'll feel like a guest in a private country home. The historic red-brick building, which is filled with beautiful antiques, sits behind Clarence House, where Prince Charles and his sons, William and Harry, reside. Keep your eyes peeled: The princes occasionally stop by the hotel's American Bar; the 18th-century cobbled courtyard in front is the last in London to be lit by Victorian gas lamps (thestaffordhotel.co.uk).

On Friday's Chat Room, Sun-Times Splash Editor Susanna Negovan and lifestyle consultant Rochelle Trotter discussed Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's stance on successful women and how having sports legends supporting gay marriage may significantly help the cause.
Sandberg made the cover of TIME magazine, which reads "Don't hate me because I'm successful." She seems to be one of the new faces of feminism. The ladies discussed the wage gap between genders and the way the public views successful men versus successful women.
State lawmakers are currently considering the legalization of same-sex marriage in Illinois. Hall of famers Richard Dent and Mr Cub, Ernie Banks sent a letter to them, saying "it's right for Illinois. It's the right thing to do, period."
Matt Damon and Michael Douglas also recently made the cover of Entertainment Weekly, featuring them in full dress from their Liberace biopic. When well-known male figures are able to go against type and show how many ways a man can be a man, it also helps spread the idea of marriage equality.
How far is too far for a teacher to go in a classroom? Princess Dempsey joined the Chat Room Friday, to speak on how her 11-year-old son's teacher duct-taped his mouth shut and left it on him for 45 minutes while he cried in front of his classmates.
The Lindop School District board member is suing the teacher for what she did.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay Packers have released defensive back Charles Woodson.
"We are grateful for all that Charles has given to the Green Bay Packers over the past seven years," Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations said in a statement. "He has been an integral part of the Packers' success and our Super Bowl title in 2010 would not have been possible without his contributions."
The 2009 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year was due to make $9 million in 2013, but NFL.com reports Woodson's salary cap number would actually be $10 million.
Woodson's agent Carl Poston told NFL.com, "I just talked to him. He sounds like he has a lot of football left. "He'd like to go play for a contender, win another Super Bowl."
A Twitter account for Charles Woodson's winery seemed to hint at the decision Friday morning.
Woodson, who moved from cornerback to safety, missed nine games last season with a broken collarbone. The 15-year veteran finished the 2012 season with 44 tackles, 1.5 sacks and an interception.
Woodson holds franchise records for the most defensive touchdowns with 10 (nine interceptions, one fumble return) and the most interception returns for touchdowns with nine. He is tied for No. 2 in league history with 11 career INT returns for touchdowns, trailing only Rod Woodson (12).
Woodson is tied for No. 4 in franchise history with 38 interceptions and joins Bobby Dillon as the only players in team annals to register seven-plus interceptions in four different seasons (2006, 2008-09, 2011).

The head of the North Carolina Republican Party on Tuesday criticized the media for how it is covering the Moral Monday marches.
Claude Pope, who is a cousin of state budget director Art Pope, told reporters that the media was not covering the "inflammatory" rhetoric and theatrics of the marches properly.
Pope, the GOP state chairman, called the news conference at GOP headquarters to address the issue.
He was particularly irked at Monday's march in Raleigh, when marchers carried caskets in memory of four girls killed at a church bombing in Birmingham in 1963. Marchers sought to draw parallels between the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s and the current changes in state law that will impact voting.
When reporters noted that GOP Tea Party rallies had protestors with inflammatory signs and rhetoric, Pope replied that there are "nuts" in both parties.
The Monday marches have been a strategy of the NAACP and other groups to mobilize opposition to Republican policies in North Carolina.

Los Angeles, CA – "The Mayor's minimum wage proposal will be helpful to many people but it will also result in some people losing their jobs or seeing a cutback in the number of hours they work," said L.A. Area Chamber President & CEO, Gary Toebben. "This proposal is not a silver bullet for our economy and it will negatively impact small businesses and non-profits who operate on limited budgets."
"Los Angeles has one of the highest unemployment rates in the county - three to four percent higher than San Francisco and Seattle. We still have 50,000 fewer jobs in LA County today than we did at the start of the recession seven years ago," continued Toebben.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), a senior Member of the Intelligence Committee and author of legislation to sunset the post-9/11 authorization for use of military force, released the following statement:
"The threat posed ISIS is very real and must be confronted. The President was right to act in Iraq last month to protect American personnel, prevent a humanitarian crisis, and push back jihadists from continuing their campaign of mass slaughter. However, if the President intends to prolong the military campaign in Iraq or extend it into Syria, he needs to make the case directly to the American people and secure authorization from Congress.

The Great India Adventure: Greetings from Across the World!
United Way staff and the Project YELL Youth Venture team from Lynn have embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, going to India to participate in the international Design for Change conference, meeting other like-minded youth focused on social impact and seeing the sights of a foreign country. Our own Sunindiya Bhalla has been dispatching real-time updates. Enjoy!
After traveling for over 24 hours straight, two layovers, three flights, and four airports later we made it to Ahmedabad in one piece! The kids are champs, not a single complaint and just so excited by everything! The kids are embracing Indian food and were not at all scared by the death defying car and bus rides over the roller-coaster like rides full of potholes and horn-honking.
We definitely sweated off a few pounds in the sunny, humid 97 degrees yesterday. Our hotel is very modern. We are staying here with teams from 20 other countries! Our Lynn team did an awesome job performing their song (really, not being biased here, they were by far one of the best) during country performances. You can listen to the song here!

A Cure for the Common Coal
University of Hawaii professor Michael J. Antal Jr. has been in the news lately because a process he developed was licensed by California-based Kingsford Products Co. What his process does, in a matter of minutes, is turn green waste into charcoal, something Kingsford sells a lot of for barbecues. But while Antal is happy to have his work licensed for commercialization, his goals are far loftier than better fuel for barbecues.
|photos: David Croxford, istock, courtesy SRI
Antal's process, called flash carbonization, can cheaply produce charcoal from various kinds of green waste, such as corncobs and macadamia-nut shells. First, the green waste is placed in a large pressurized chamber where the contents are ignited, creating a blaze with the intensity of a forest fire. That pressurized heat then turns his fuel stock into charcoal. Antal describes his charcoal-producing apparatus as a rocket engine without a vent. Here are some of the applications for the green-waste charcoal:
|Of all the fossil fuels, says Antal, coal is by far the biggest polluter. The biggest immediate environmental benefit of his work would come from the mass production of green-waste charcoal for coal power plants. His charcoal would introduce no additional C02 emissions.
|To refine metal such as steel and iron, you have to burn a lot of coal. As with coal plants, using charcoalized green waste as an inexpensive alternative would go a long way toward reducing greenhouse emissions.
|Planters such as orchid growers say charcoal helps plants grow. Charcoalized green waste also traps the carbon so it doesn't enter the atmosphere, something that happens naturally during green waste decay. Antal says in a 100 years we could reduce green house gases to pre-Industrial Revolution levels if we started a worldwide program to trap carbon this way.
|While hydrogen fuel cells get all the attention, Antal says carbon fuel cells are the most efficient. His unique process of flash carbonization makes pure charcoal, ideal for carbon fuel cells. Antal provides "designer charcoal" for labs all over the globe. "We are the only people in the world who can make it," he says.

Warning: Graphic video
Police say someone reported an act of animal cruelty on Oct. 15 after six boys were caught on surveillance video at a trailer park near Arizona Avenue and Loop 202. The video, from Oct. 14, shows six young boys on playground equipment playing with a white kitten and a small dog. The boys' ages range from 7 to 12. At first the boys seem to just be playing with the animals, but then the boys allegedly pushed the dog down a slide and into the kitten. Police say the boys can be seen hitting the kitten with a soccer ball, kicking it at the end of the slide repeatedly and eventually they threw it to the ground.
In the video, it looks as if the kitten is stunned or dead. The boys are then seen throwing the limp, lifeless kitten over a pool fence and into a pool.
Maintenance workers later found the cat dead in the pool. Officers estimate the kitten is under 2-months-old. The kitten was allegedly found under one of the boys' trailers and sold to another for $3. The investigation took a couple of weeks to complete because the suspects are children. Four of the boys were arrested on Sunday morning and are being booked on a felony charge of animal cruelty. Police say the 7-year-old boy is too young to face charges and the sixth boy was an observer and didn't participate in the abuse. The four being charged will be taken to the juvenile detention facility in Mesa and their court dates will be pending.No names will be released because the suspects are minors.
