Show A3G Love
by Clerquette
After days of a veritable maelstrom of reports about swine flu, bird strikes, Somali pirates, and torture, Clerquette was desperately in need of a spirit-boosting respite from bad news. In these dark times, what does a girl have to do to get a little relief? Make a visit to the day spa? Spend a weekend at Kripalu? Head to the bathtub for some Calgon escapism? These are all good ideas, dear readers, but in this instance, my deliverance from the blues came from a most unexpected source: the Federalist Society. Admittedly, the Federalists are not generally known as the folks to turn to when one is in need of a mental adjournment from the stresses of daily life. They were, however, the hosts of a Very Special night at New York City's Cornell Club, featuring none other than ... Judge Richard Posner! And nothing puts the spring back in this groupie's step like proximity to an Article III superstar like the illustrious Judge Posner. Judging (pardon the pun) by the turnout, Clerquette was not the only one whose "relief sought" included some quality time with a distinguished jurist: the event, which was billed as a conversation of sorts between Judge Posner and American Enterprise Institute fellow and deregulation guru Peter Wallison garnered an overflow crowd. And what a crowd it was! Let it suffice to say that the affair was something akin to a conservative/libertarian Grateful Dead show (set in a state which, of course, exists to preserve freedom). The crowd was comprised of a colorful smattering of septuagenarians, young Brooks Brothers-clad Alex (and Alexa) P. Keaton types, one fabulously coiffed woman with an elegant, Jackie O-style vertical updo, and more than a few bow-tie wearers. As the parking lot, er, I mean, Ivy Room filled with Posner acolytes, a palpable sense of restlessness descended. In a fitting demonstration of free market principles, competition for seating and refreshments (the supply of which was far outstripped by demand) grew intense; chairs were aggressively staked out with Hermes scarves and Valextra briefcases, and men in bespoke suits jockeyed for a turn at the dwindling cracker pile. Indeed, Clerquette began to wonder whether a fight for the individual's right to crudite would break out in the buffet line. At one point, moderator Liz MacDonald (of Fox Business News) distracted Clerquette with a pretextual inquiry about the hot hors d'oeuvre, and then seized the opportunity to swipe the cheese tongs. Needless to say, Clerquette does not approve of poor plate-side manners in the presence of an Article III luminary!Eventually, the show got underway. The madding crowd, however, was not to be appeased; when MacDonald began her opening act with a declarative -- and distinctly Seinfeldian -- "Did ya hear about Air Obama doing a flyover of lower Manhattan? What is up with that? Did ya hear about this thing with Bank of America?," an elderly gentleman seated behind Clerquette answered wearily, "Yes, dear. Yes, dear ... we did." After some rapid-fire denunciation of ... something (the precise subject of the remonstrance was unclear) and a comparison of certain economic policies to "faith-based initiatives," MacDonald cited John Kenneth Galbraith for the proposition that the "only purpose of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable." That principle, Clerquette finds, is res judicata!Finally, the lectern was ceded to the distinguished guest. Although Judge Posner's credentials and accomplishments are both too resplendent (and too numerous) to catalogue fully here, let it suffice to say that he is a bona fide member of The Elect, and then some; among other things, His Honor graduated from Harvard Law School (magna cum laude '62), clerked for Justice William J. Brennan (OT '62), and -- lest we forget -- turned "Law and Economics" into a household turn of phrase. And, of course, he ascended to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 1981, from whence he has dispensed his distinctive market-driven judicial magic ever since. Alas, Judge Posner's speech began with some minor technical difficulties which, to Clerquette's surprise, were barely tolerated by the restive crowd. As the Judge struggled to adjust his microphone, the crowd fussed captiously. Clerquette saw one woman turn to her companion and announce smugly that "this is why everyone should invest in media training and developing presentation skills." (Surely she was not suggesting that the father of law and economic analysis polish his public speaking technique? Clerquette moves for sanctions!) Another gentleman in the crowd carped irritably that the "crowd [was] too rowdy because they' [were] all drunk. All of 'em." Another audience member bellowed for Judge Posner to "bend over into the microphone, for God's sake." (Gasp! Uttering the words "bend over" to an Article III judge? Clerquette nearly reached for her smelling salts.) Clerquette heard yet another man lament that the equipment malfunction was not His Honor's fault. "They should be helping him," he said crabbily. Clerquette refrained from asking the nice man whether he was advocating institutional intervention into a judicial process. The good news, dear readers, is that Posner handled both the fractious audience and the sophisticated subject matter with a most judicial degree of equanimity and grace. Speaking extemporaneously, His Honor summarized, succinctly, the historical allocation of risk in the American banking system, enumerated the causes and early indicia of the current financial crisis, and engaged in a thoughtful, though critical, analysis of Mssrs. Greenspan, Bernanke, and those who seek to stifle the market with intrusive regulations.But, speaking of bubble-bursting ... Judge Posner had barely concluded his remarks when Clerquette heard the gentleman behind her grumbling. "That was a lot of strained history that we already knew," he announced. "Well," his companion said, "I suppose a judge can do whatever he wants."Order in the Court! Clerquette hereby declares the following: an Article III rock star like Judge Posner is entitled to susbtantial deference, folks. A few members of tonight's crowd could have benefitted from the exercise of much wiser discretion, so to speak.But no matter. This fan thoroughly enjoyed her brief moment in the glow of an Article III luminary (which was, sadly, cut short by the persistent call of billable matters). Clerquette likes to think of it as an "Article III spritzer" -- just enough to refresh a weary soul, and to tide us over until the next Judicial Sight-ation.Have judicial sight-ations of your own? Clerquette would love to hear about them!

Your above-signed blogress is going to be away from the web for two weeks, on a much-needed vacation. But fear not, lovers of judicial news and gossip; A3G leaves you in the capable (and well-manicured) hands of Clerquette.
Before she departs, A3G would like to leave you with a few reading recommendations. Some of these items are a bit old, so you may have already read them; but if you haven't, they're well worth your time. In no particular order:
1. Justice Stevens Renders an Opinion on Who Wrote Shakespeare's Plays [Wall Street Journal]
Maybe Justice Stevens should retire and pursue a second career as a literary scholar?
Of course, the justices are an opinionated bunch. In addition to JPS, Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Breyer and Ginsburg offered thoughts on the question of who wrote Shakespeare's plays.
Conservatives gaining sway on a liberal bastion
[Los Angeles Times]
An interesting article about the evolution of the Ninth Circuit. Best quote (offered to put the Ninth Circuit's reversal rate in context):
3. Three key players on the 9th Circuit [Los Angeles Times]
A sidebar to the L.A. Times article mentioned above, focusing on three judges who are no strangers to these pages: Chief Judge Alex Kozinski; Judge Stephen Reinhardt; and Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain.
Okay, A3G's flight is boarding, and sprinting in Manolos is never fun. Toodles!

Article III Groupie's obsession with The Elect, aka Supreme Court clerks, is well-documented. So it should come as no surprise that she's also obsessed with "feeder judges": those lower-court judges with a track record of sending their clerks on to the SCOTUS.
Earlier this month, the blog of the Daily Journal ran an item about Judge Diarmuid F. O'Scannlain (9th Cir.) as a feeder judge. Judge O'Scannlain has been a feeder judge for many years (see here) - and his feeder judge ranking is rising fast, thanks to his placing three clerks at the Court for October Term 2009.
Check out the write-up, after the jump.

by ClerquetteHaving stepped into the Manolos of A3G relatively recently, Clerquette is, admittedly, somewhat behind the news cycle. Nonetheless, it is never too late for an update on a doubly delectable superstar -- in this case, past UTR favorite Michael Chertoff, who, we learned recently, has officially moved on to the next phase of his illustrious career. If you've forgotten the multi-faceted nature of the Honorable Mike Chertoff's fabulosity, allow Clerquette to refresh your recollection. First, Chertoff is a member of The Elect: after graduating from Harvard College (magna cum laude, '75) and Harvard Law School (magna cum laude, '78), and clerking for distinguished SDNY Judge Murray Gurfein, Chertoff spent OT '79 at the elbow of Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. After a brief stopover at Latham & Watkins, Chertoff returned to the Southern District as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, where he passedmuch of the 1980s making his boss, Rudolph Giuliani, look good. Chertoff eventually returned to his ancestral home (New Jersey), where he served as First Assistant U.S Attorney, and then "full-frontal" U.S. Attorney from 1990-1994. Whew! Clerquette is getting winded. Let's fast forward past a few dozen notable achievements (with apologies to our illustrious subject) to 2003, when Chertoff ascended to the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Alas, Chertoff's time on the bench was brief ... but what it lacked in longevity, it made up for in judicial flair. During his fleeting tenure, we learned that Judge Chertoff was an avid runner and weightlifter, an impeccable dresser, and inclined (or -gasp! -forced???) to fetch his own lunch. We realize that this latter, scandalous detail was unearthed five-plus years ago. Clerquette believes, however, that there is no statute of limitations on shaming law clerks who fail to carry the judicial take-out bag. In any event, Judge Chertoff was alluring enough to inspire his very own trivia quiz, known as the "Chertoff Challenge." As A3G concluded back in the day, "Judge Chertoff may be a fairly private person, but he can't hide the fact that he is a fun and fascinating individual 'underneath his robe.'" Clerquette joins the majority's opinion!Recently, now-citizen (but still Honorable) Chertoff announced the formation of The Chertoff Group, which will "advise corporate and government clients on security and risk management issues." (FYI: Chertoff has also signed on at Covington & Burling, where he will be Senior Of Counsel.) The Chertoff Group is sure to be a powerhouse: in addition to its marquee member, the firm recently added such luminaries as General Michael Hayden (of CIA and NSA fame), and former DHS-ers Admiral Jay Cohen, Charles Allen, and Paul Schneider. But let's not kid ourselves, dear readers: the firepower on this gunboat will be provided by the only principal whose qualifications include "Anointed One" -- Chertoff himself. And, although the WSJ noted last week that Chertoff would be "going head to head in the business world with former bosses John Ashcroft and Rudolph Giuliani," Clerquette is quite certain that the former judicial superstar can overrule the competition sua sponte.Chertoff will be holding court in his current hometown, Washington, D.C. Although Clerquette is always hoping for news of judicial sight-ations, she will make an exception, in this instance, for a former-judicial sight-ation. If you've seen Judge/Secretary/Citizen Chertoff, drop us a line and let us know what he's up to. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com... or find Clerquette on Twitter!

Oy. A3G likes to peek underneath the robes of The Nine, but what happened in Court today may have crossed the line.
This caused A3G to wonder about whether Justice Stephen G. Breyer, as a youth of "8 or 10 or 12," wore tightey-whiteys. She sees Justice Breyer as a tightey-whitey kind of kid. But did briefs exist when SGB was a boy?
As it turns out, they did. Justice Breyer was born in 1938, and briefs were first sold in America in 1935. By the time Justice Breyer was eight years old or so, briefs were probably all the rage.

Who is She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? To refresh your recollection, look back at this post, which discusses political dynamics on the fabulously fractious Ninth Circuit:
She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may be one of our nation's most fearsomely liberal jurists - but she's also now the mother of a Pulitzer Prize winner! From the AP:
"I think it's great recognition for the newspaper
and for everyone," said Berzon, who estimated she wrote more than 50
stories on the subject.
Like her mother, whose legal credentials are blinding in their splendor, the Berzonspawn is something of a prodigy. She's only 29 years old - a far cry from the grizzled gumshoes often favored by Pulitzer pickers - and she has been at the Las Vegas Sun for just over a year (since December 2007).
Clearly Alex Berzon is far better at writing and reporting than she is at carrying coffee. Now that she's a Pulitzer winner, presumably she'll have interns to fetch coffee for her.
Congratulations to Alexandra Berzon and the entire Berzon family!

Justice Stevens turns 89 today. Happy Birthday, Your Honor!
Despite his advanced age, don't expect Justice Stevens to retire from the Supreme Court anytime soon. Most observers expect Justice Stevens to remain on the SCOTUS until after February 24, 2011, at which point he would replace Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes as the oldest justice in the Court's history, or maybe even after July 15, 2012, when he would break Justice William O. Douglas's record as the longest-serving justice.

Valentine's Day Treats That Travel Well?
Good Questions
I actually have some cupcakes in the freezer that just need some frosting, and was thinking of using those. Should I bother baking ahead of time? Should I bring ingredients for the frosting and assemble them there? (I'd also have to bring a hand mixer.) Should I just bring cookies or something easier to transport? Or is this a pipe dream and I should just treat him to cupcakes at Magnolia? I want to do something special, and if he were coming to Boston I'd be able to make something lovely and romantic, but I also don't want to bring him a box of crumbs.
Sent by Katya
Editor: Katya, I wouldn't want to tote along my hand mixer or run around buying ingredients on a romantic weekend. But I also wouldn't want to give up on a special homemade dessert. How about bringing a more portable treat like dessert bars? You could make these pretty pink cranberry curd bars, or any of the other bars linked to below, and cut them into heart shapes for a special treat:

how are you traveling? the trip from boston to NY isn't that far.
I would think a flourless chocolate cake would travel well. especially if you make a small one (just for two) pack it carefully and good luck!
Chocolate shortbread, tahini & honey cookies , pistachio and stawberry cookies, dense brownies with ganache (you can make chocolate ganache with mint or orange essential oils. You can make butterscotch ganache with butterscotch chips. White chocolate with raspberry extract or even Irish cream! ... and so on.) I make miniature brownies that store well but also they sell bake n take paper pans at king arthur flour for example. I have used the flat round ones for brownies but they would work great for tarts if brownies aren't your thing. Use a shortbread crust and ganache filling!
Good Luck!
homemade oreos!
this recipe:http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/05/my-kingdom-for-a-glass-of-milk/
use coconut oil instead of shortening if you want to make them extra special (it will still hold up great). and cut the cookies into heart shapes.
I'm making Smitten Kitchen's lemon tart for VDay dessert (with some fresh raspberries!)
I feel like that would, with a properly sized tupperware container, travel really well. Boston to NY isn't so long that it would have refrigeration issues, I don't think.
Buckeyes (chocolate-covered peanut butter balls) travel well and they're delicious!
Cookies probably travel well. Maybe you can do a 2-part dessert: something you can bring with you + something you can buy once you arrive. For example, brownies you made + good quality ice cream from around the corner. To be honest, unless he's been going on and on about how much he misses the incredible xyz you make for him, baking in the middle of the week + travel seems like a hassle. Just wear something cute, Magnolia is delicious.
I made these sugar sandwich cookies in festive colors and heart-shaped! I think they pack up and travel very well. http://www.foodnfocus.com/valentines-day-sandwich-cookies/
I agree with RumAGoGo. They are wonderful bars, and I think everyone should try that recipe at least once (I loved them!), but they are a big undertaking and perhaps not the most transport-friendly confection. Perhaps check out Smitten Kitchen's newest post-- salted caramel brownies. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2013/02/salted-caramel-brownies/ I'd be hard-pressed to find a guy who didn't like those...
Does he have a particular dessert he liked? I'd say bring him that if its something like cookies or brownies. I've found that most men LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies which travel very well.
Hey Kitchn readers, it's Katya here. Thanks for all the advice! I'm taking the bus and its about an hour of subway time on either end so it asking something easy to carry that can be jostled without too much damage is important. I think I'm going to make some kind of brownies, he loves those, and is generally not super picky as long as there's food around.
the cranberry curd bars would totally great -- they're already valentine's colored! -- but I can also recommend a seriously delicious no-bake 10 minute key lime 'pie' on serious eats, which I made in a hotel room w/ refrigerator for my boyfriend's birthday one year. I traveled by air, too! I squeezed, pre-measured and then stored the lime juice in double zipper bags; ditto some fresh zest I used to decorate the top.
Although I was able to run in [and then hide in a bag!] a can of reddi-whip, I used evaporated full fat milk instead of the cream so, in theory, could have gotten away with absolutely no shopping at our destination. make sure you pack a can opener either way. and, if his kichen is utterly bare, you may want to figure out some sort of non-reactive container to actually make the pie in, too.
here's the link: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/07/10-minute-lime-cracker-pie-recipe.html?ref=search
have a great trip!!
also, you could bake the cupcakes but leave them bare. make the frosting at home and store in -- and dispense from!!! -- a zipper bag. ditto any decorations you'd be using. each component alone would be easy to pack and easy to assemble without much equipment or time once you're in nyc.
Dessert bars or cookies are probably your best bet if you're traveling. Or you can try these delicious Chocomacs (they're a macaron + chocolate combined!) from Richart. They make a great gift for someone special.

Maurice Benard Talks 'General Hospital' and Sonny
Soap vet dishes on the new regime, crazy Connie and being the kiss of death
Bing: More about "General Hospital" | Maurice Benard
You've been playing mob boss Sonny Corinthos since 1993. Have you seen a change in him since executive producer Frank Valentini and headwriter Ron Carlivati took the reins at "General Hospital"?
I love the way they've affected him. They're writing Sonny as a man, as opposed to a mafia guy or a killer with a good heart. He's just a well-rounded man. And he's still badass - I went off, today! Sonny just thinks a little more, especially with the woman he loves. He tries. And they tell me during scenes, "Not so big. Be more supportive." Wow, they never told me this, before. It's changed. I'm into it and I think, as far as I can see on twitter, [the fans are] all into it. A year ago, the fans on twitter hated everything I was doing. They hated the show. It was like, "Why is this happening? This is stupid!" Now, it's all positive.
Do you feel the difference onstage?
Well, the pacing [of shooting] is not good. Ugh! You've got to do it like that [snaps fingers]. That drives me nuts, but we do it. When you watch the show, because of Frank, it's fantastic. He knows how to edit, he knows lighting and it just moves. It's now more an ensemble than a one-man show. You would think I'd have a problem with that: I don't. As long as it's good, I'm good. If it wasn't good, I'd say, "Something's not working," but it seems to be working.
Frank is teasing big story for fall. What's coming for Sonny?
Sonny is going to propose to Kate [Friday, Aug. 10 and Monday, Aug. 13]. Oh, when you see the proposal! It was just amazing. It was more like real life conversational. Tears were popping out of her. It was like, "Wow. This is the way I want it."
I love that Sonny's more balanced, as opposed to three days of writing that and then he's killing somebody. I love that it hasn't been a lot of mob stuff. But there's some cool stuff coming up with Joe Jr., who raped Connie. I did some scenes with him today. Wow! I love that, because we have history. With Connie's breakdown, it's been a beautiful connect the dots, hasn't it?
When MSN TV talked to Kelli Sullivan a few months back, she promised the Kate/Connie split personality story would get intense and she really delivered. Fans aren't always welcoming to a recast, but after a performance like that, it's hard to slam her.
You put anybody with me, it's the kiss of death, from what I hear. (laughs) The only reason this didn't go that way is what she can do. What she did with that Connie thing was scary! I thought there was somebody else in font of me, at some points. She shut people up and thank goodness. You can say what you want about her, but you can't say she can't act! You'd be a little stupid. I'm very happy.
Do you feel threatened that someone else in Port Charles does crazy so well? That's always been your territory as Sonny.
Oh yeah, a little threatened! (laughs) I can do crazy well, but she pulled something out that I'd have to research a lot to do. I think I could become somebody else, but she actually did it! She's so humble. It's great.
Plus: Reality stars that need introductions | 'Dancing With the Stars' All-Stars
Do you think Sonny and Kate can make it this time?
Yeah, I think they can, because they're both mentally ill. So they're just crazy together. I had a line to her about that, "I'm crazy: You're crazy. That's why we fit."
How will Sonny handle the impending face off with Joe Jr.?
It's a bit of a different Sonny. He's not as, "I'm not listening to anybody: I'm going to kill you!" He's more, "How do I do this differently, even though I want to kill him?"
With Frank teasing big returns, is there anyone you'd like to see come back to town?
I'd like to see Ron Hale come back to play my father, Mike. Vanessa Marcil to come back for a triangle. That would be fantastic, Brenda, Kate and Sonny.
Was it hard to let Vanessa go again, after the last visit?
My last scenes with her were hard, because I knew it was my last. It was tough, but people move on. With Vanessa, it's all good, because she's going to do better things. People sometimes ask if I'd like her to come back: I love working with her! As long as it's in a triangle, and not, "All right, now she's back and let's just get married, but I don't love this or that." I don't dig that. Sonny loves deeply. If you're going to bring someone in for a triangle, you better make it fun for the three of us.
How have you felt about the "Mob Princess" reality TV storyline?
That's whatever that is. What I liked about it is it's [relevant]. That's what's going on these days. I've never done reality TV. I don't think it's my favorite thing, but you've got to do what's now.
Speaking of, we can't let you go without asking if you'd ever do "Dancing With the Stars"?
I can dance, but no. It's just way too much pressure. Live! I've been on that set and let me tell you, it's a mother!
"General Hospital" airs weekdays on ABC.

2012 Hampton-Phoebus football coverage
From the past 10 most memorable games in the series, to David Teel's exclusive interview with former Phoebus coach Stan Sexton, we've got you covered.
Phoebus' all-district sack machine Mark Wilson is bigger and better

Hampton vs. Phoebus: What's really at stake in Thursday's showdown?
HAMPTON — It's the Peninsula District's Game of the Year, which for the first time in a while falls on the final week of the season. Hampton vs. Phoebus … enough said. Yet for Crabbers coach Mike Smith, it's Game 10 — no more, no less. "This game is like Bethel and Kecoughtan used to be for us — people make it bigger than what it is," he said. "Both teams want to win, but the big thing now is getting on and hoping everybody is healthy for the playoffs." That would be easy to dismiss as classic coach-speak, but Smith has a point. Though it's always the game fans talk about from August on, the outcome probably won't have any significance regarding the postseason. Unless unbeaten Lake Taylor loses Saturday night vs. Norcom, the Hampton-Phoebus winner will be the No. 2 seed in Eastern Region Division 5. The loser will be No. 3. The only real difference there is that No. 2 will open in the quarterfinals at Darling Stadium while No. 3 will host at Todd. And if the Crabbers and Phantoms both win their first-round games, they would meet Nov. 16 in the region semifinals at Darling. To Phoebus interim coach Jeremy Blunt, that stuff doesn't really matter. "We don't look at it as seeding; we look at it as momentum for the playoffs," he said. "We don't want to go in limping. The seeding thing is not on our mind. Momentum is everything." Still … it's Hampton vs. Phoebus. They've had some classics over the years. The last two games have been decided by a total of eight points. The Crabbers have three FBS commitments — quarterback Deon Newsome (Virginia Tech), running back Marshawn Williams (Virginia Tech) and tight end/safety Daquin Moore (Old Dominion). The Phantoms have a future Monarch in two-way lineman Mark Wilson, along with big-time talents like running back Tony Pittman and defensive end/tight end Richie Staton. Both teams can run the ball, and both teams have outstanding defenses. Which means the so-called little things will probably come into play. Here are three that might end up deciding it: Turnovers. Phoebus has been solid all season at protecting the ball. With nine giveaways and 26 takeaways, the Phantoms have a district-leading turnover margin of plus-17. Phoebus is the only team in the PD whose opponents have no interceptions. Hampton has 20 takeaways and 15 giveaways for margin of plus-5. In their only loss of the season, to Bethel, the Crabbers lost three turnovers. Penalties. Phoebus leads the PD in penalty yards (609). The Phantoms' average penalty goes for 9.5 yards, meaning they get their share of those dreaded 15-yarders. In its nearest brush with defeat all year, a 19-17 comeback win over Bethel, Phoebus was penalized 13 times for 120 yards. However, Hampton has the second-fewest penalty yards with 367. The Crabbers' average flag goes for 7 yards, meaning they're mostly false starts, illegal procedures, delays, etc. The kicking game. This has been a major bugaboo for Phoebus all season. The Phantoms are 35-for-47 on point-after kicks, not the kind of percentage they want or expect. Protection has been an issue — Menchville alone blocked two PATs. Hampton's Bo Lomax, a first-year kicker, is 31-for-34 on PAT kicks. And in a game like this, it could come down to an extra point. The coaching matchup is also intriguing. Hampton is guided by Mike Smith, 71, who will be coaching his 509th game Thursday night. Phoebus is led by 29-year-old Jeremy Blunt, who will be coaching his sixth. Smith gives Blunt credit for how the Phantoms have handled the abrupt dismissal of head coach Stan Sexton two days before the fifth game of the season. "They overcame turmoil and came out on top," he said. "They haven't skipped a beat. That was a gut check, and they passed that test." Read more.../span>
Hampton's Marshawn Williams combines speed and power
HAMPTON — You'd never know it to look at him now, but once upon a time Marshawn Williams was a couch potato who spent his days playing video games. That, pretty much, was the extent of his physical activity. Today, he's a 16-year-old junior for Hampton High who already has accepted a football scholarship to Virginia Tech. He's a physical specimen, a powerhouse runner with breakaway speed, and not someone you'd enjoy trying to stop. He owes it all to his cousin Maurice Boone, who dragged him off the sofa to play youth-league football when he was 10. "I really do," Williams said. "Football kind of grew on me." So it did. Going into Thursday night's showdown against Phoebus, Williams has rushed for 939 yards and 15 touchdowns. Those numbers are good enough on their own, but consider that during a two-week stretch, he was limited to 11 carries and 50 yards because of a bruised side. At 5-foot-11, 212 pounds, and with 4.57-second speed in the 40-yard dash, Williams has become a load to handle. "He's really, really good," Woodside coach Danny Dodson said. "He's not a big, slow guy. He's a big, fast guy. It's hard to catch him, and if you do catch him, it's hard to bring him down." Dodson knows all about that. Williams rushed for 192 yards, 89 coming on a pair of touchdowns, in a 42-20 win over the Wolverines on Sept. 21. Virginia Tech was impressed enough to offer Williams prior to his junior year. That's no longer unheard of in college football, but it's still fairly rare. Consider David Wilson, the Hokies' starting tailback last year and the New York Giants' first-round pick in the NFL draft. He wasn't offered until the spring before his senior year. "It was very overwhelming," Williams said of Tech's early offer. "I was more surprised than anything. It was a dream come true, really, because that was the school I wanted to go to." Williams played on the junior varsity as a freshman, though he did get nine carries in limited work with the varsity. As a sophomore, he became a starter and rushed for 650 yards on 100 carries. He became an instant hero in the hallways with his 9-yard touchdown in overtime to beat Phoebus. Though he's a natural tailback, he's been asked to play fullback on occasion, depending on the personnel head coach Mike Smith wants to use. Either way, he's been effective. He's the district's best power runner, and five of his 15 touchdowns have been at least 34 yards (including a career-long 60 last week vs. Kecoughtan). "It really doesn't matter where I play, as long as it's helping my team get to the state (championship)," Williams said. "I'll play anywhere Coach wants me to." Nor does he care that his numbers would be far better if Hampton featured him more. Williams averages 13 rushing attempts a game. Heritage's Khalid Abdullah, Phoebus' Tony Pittman and Kecoughtan's Trenton Cannon all average at least 21 a game. Smith appreciates Williams' team-first approach. "He's a hard-working, unassuming guy," Smith said. "He works hard every day in practice and has a great attitude. He cares about his teammates and respects his coaches, and he's well-liked around the school. Marshawn's a good kid and fun to coach." Part of that hard work is running track in the offseason. It's made him faster on the field, and that's made him more valuable. "My track coach has been working on my form and my speed and my explosion," he said. "My explosion wasn't as good as it should have been, and he's been tuning it up and making it better. "It's better to be more versatile than one-dimensional because you can help in so many ways. You can do what Coach needs you to." Read more.../span>

Richie Staton becomes Phoebus' Mr. Versatility this fall
HAMPTON — Looking back, there were clues. He didn't get that many chances, true. But when he did, Richie Staton had produced. So what he's done this season for Phoebus, where he's spending his senior year after transferring from Kecoughtan, shouldn't be that surprising. He's no more talented or athletic than before. He's simply on the field more. "Being at Phoebus now, I get more chances to make plays than when I was at Kecoughtan," Staton said. "It's just coming to me. It's happening." That it is. As a tight end, defensive end and return specialist, Staton has scored 12 touchdowns five ways. That's five on receptions, three on kickoff returns, two on punt returns, one on a fumble return, and one on an interception return. All that's left is rushing … and don't bet against that happening. "He helps us in a variety of ways," Phoebus interim coach Jeremy Blunt said. "That's something this team is going to need going forward." Even more remarkable is that 11 of those 12 touchdowns have come in the last five games for the Phantoms (10-0). It started Oct. 4 against Menchville, where Staton opened the game with a 99-yard kickoff return. He added a 44-yard touchdown catch and a 55-yard punt return for six. Staton finished with 237 all-purpose yards that night — which would have been 302 had a 65-yard TD catch not been called back for a holding penalty. The last player in the Peninsula District to show this kind of versatility was Hampton's Dion Futch, who now plays for Virginia State. In 2009, he scored 14 touchdowns five ways — six by receiving, three by punt return, two by kickoff return, two by rushing and one by interception return. "I guess since this is my senior year, I'm trying to do everything I can to go to college," said Staton, who has been offered a scholarship by Old Dominion. "That's all." At 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, Staton isn't built like your classic return man. And he ended up there almost by accident. "Actually, he was giving us a look on scout team and he was hurting our punt and kickoff team," Blunt said. "We finally said, we need somebody to make a big play for us. We were down in certain areas and we just gave the kid a shot. From there, it's been all him." In three seasons for Kecoughtan, where he was an All-Peninsula District linebacker as a junior, Staton was given few chances to show his skills with the ball. Still, he provided a glimpse. As a sophomore, he scored touchdowns on a 25-yard interception return and a 69-yard kickoff return. As a junior, he scored once each by rushing, receiving — he had two catches for the entire season — and returning an interception. Staton only has seven catches this season, but five of them have resulted in touchdowns. He also has two 2-point conversion receptions. Watching him play for Kecoughtan the previous three years, Blunt knew Staton had plenty of talent. He just didn't know how much. "You could tell he could play ball," he said. "He had a motor. What he's doing now, I didn't see that in him last year. I didn't know he was capable of scoring this many touchdowns this many ways. He's a special athlete." Only five other players in the Peninsula District this season have scored more touchdowns than Staton. But Staton still considers himself a linebacker who happens to make plays. Like in last week's 35-21 win over Hampton, when he had eight tackles (three behind the line of scrimmage) and a pick-six. "I like defense more," he said. "I like stopping the points instead of getting them. It just feels better." Though scoring touchdowns does feel pretty good. Read more.../span>

Newsome leads Hampton to 34-6 win vs. Norcom
HAMPTON -- After he dislocated his knee in the Hampton Crabbers' last game, there was concern about how quarterback Deon Newsome would play in Friday's Eastern Region quarterfinal matchup against Norcom. Newsome helped the Crabbers pick up 34-6 win with a strong first-half performance and finished the game with 109 yards rushing, 86 yards passing and two touchdowns as Hampton advanced to a Division 5 semifinal next Friday against Phoebus. It will be a rematch of a regular-season finale that the Phantoms won 35-21. The Crabbers drove 78 yards on their first possession, but Newsome lost a fumble on the goal line. After a quick three-and-out, Hampton moved the ball back down the field and scored on a 2-yard run by Newsome toward the end of the first quarter. The Greyhounds stalled on the following drive and gave Hampton the ball back early in the second quarter. Hampton went 80 yards on six plays and scored on a 19-yard pass from Newsome to Umar Muhammad-Wyatt to give the Crabbers a 14-0 lead. Norcom struggled to move the ball for most the second quarter after its leading rusher, Trequan Martin, was knocked out of the game with a concussion. Hampton went to backup running back Roscoe Hale on its next possession, and he finished a 65-yard drive with a 34-yard run through the middle of the Norcom defense to put Hampton up 21-0. Hampton scored again on a 20-yard pass from Newsome to Daquin Moore to push the lead to 27-0. "He had some good moments and he had some tough moments tonight," Hampton coach Mike Smith said of Newsome. The Crabbers would only score once in the second half, on a 37-yard run by Newsome in the third quarter. Norcom got on the scoreboard in the third quarter on a 1-yard run by quarterback Darron Downing. Overall, Smith was pleased with how his team came out of the gates, but wanted to see more in the second half. "We kind of sat on our laurels in the second half," Smith said. "They've got to play with more intensity the entire game." Read more.../span>

How to Get Out of a Midlife Crisis
Many men go through a phase when they take a hard look at the life they're living. They think they could be happier, and if they need to make a big change, they feel the urge to do it soon.
These thoughts can trigger a midlife crisis. By realizing you're in this phase, then making wise choices, you can steer yourself out of a midlife crisis and into a happier life.

How to Spot a Midlife Crisis
A true midlife crisis usually involves changing your entire life in a hurry, says Calvin Colarusso, MD, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego. An example is a man he counseled who wrote a note to his wife, withdrew his money from the bank, and moved to another city without warning.
This type of midlife crisis is rare, Colarusso says. More often, men go through a midlife process in which they make smaller changes over time.
"You might tell your wife, 'I've got to get out of this job,' and you do. Or you say to your wife, 'I'm done. The marriage isn't working for me.' You don't change everything and you don't do it frantically," he says. "And for many people, after this agonizing reappraisal, they decide to stay with what they've got."
Signs that you're going through this midlife phase, or that you may soon, include:
You've hit your 40th birthday. Colarusso, who has a special interest in issues that affect adults as they age, most often sees men struggling with these midlife questions in their 40s and early 50s.
You're uneasy about major elements in your life. Colarusso says this may include not being satisfied with your career, your marriage, or your health, and feeling the urge to take action to make them better.
You feel that your time for taking a new direction is running short. Many men feel a pressing need to make changes, Colarusso says, when:
- They notice that their appearance is changing or their stamina isn't as high as it used to be.
- They become a grandfather.
- A friend or parent dies.
However, it's not inevitable to go through a midlife crisis when those things happen.
You're making unusual choices. Men may go through a "teenage-like rebellion" at this point in their lives, says Boston psychologist Lynn Margolies, PhD. "A sure sign you may be in a midlife crisis is if you are feeling trapped and very tempted to act out in ways that will blow up your life," she says. These may include:
- Drinking more.
- Having an affair.
- Leaving your family.
- Feeling that your life no longer fits you.
- You're more concerned about your appearance.
- You feel more desire for excitement and thrills.

F. Paul Wilson
Tor Books
It starts off simply enough. Jack is hired by Christy Pickering, whose 18-year-old daughter is dating sinister and shady Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy neither likes nor trusts Bethlehem and hires Jack to find out if her instincts are correct. As Jack delves into the man's past, he finds connections between Bethlehem and the Creighton Institute, a government-funded facility researching a newly discovered and frightening variation on human DNA. Bethlehem is not who he pretends to be.
As the bodies pile up, Jack discovers another horrific piece of the puzzle of his own identity, and why he's been drafted into a cosmic shadow war.
F. Paul Wilson discusses his novel Bloodline, the 11th installment of the Repairman Jack series.
"The name is Jack, Repairman Jack, and it's a name worth looking up next time you want a great supernatural thriller."
"F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack is a cultural icon."-- David Morrell, author of First Blood
"Sinuous plot twists and shocking revelations abound. . . . Like its predecessors, Bloodline shows why Jack's saga has become the most entertaining and dependable modern horror-thriller series."

Kingfisher crisis: Mallya meets Ashwani Kumar
New Delhi: As the squeeze tightened over grounded Kingfisher Airlines to pay up the dues of the government, lessors and service providers, its promoter Vijay Mallya on Thursday met the Law Minister, Ashwani Kumar apparently to discuss ways to deal with the situation.
Mallya also visited the Prime Minister's Office at South Block but it could not be ascertained who he met inside, though there were unconfirmed reports of him having met Pulok Chatterjee, the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister. What transpired at the meeting with the minister was not immediately known but sources said ways to deal with the airline's tight financial situation apparently came up for discussion.
Kingfisher, which has over Rs 15,000 crore in the form of debt, accumulated losses and various dues, has remained grounded since October 1 last year and its flying licence, suspended that month, expired on December 31.
The airline has dues towards payment of service tax, income tax, as also provident fund of employees and dues of the oil companies. Besides, it has to pay huge amounts to the lessors of its aircraft and service providers like the Airports Authority of India.
Spelling fresh trouble for the beleaguered carrier, the AAI has said it would not go by the "empty promises" of the airline management and insist on dues being cleared before it is allowed to fly again by aviation regulator DGCA. The grounded airline owes Rs 290 crore to AAI towards landing and parking fees.
Kingfisher's revival plan, submitted to DGCA, has run into trouble with its engineers stating recently that they would file winding-up petition against the company for non-payment of salaries for the last eight months.

What I like doing is sending them something useless. I mail a murloc eye with, "stop begging, douchebag." Attached to it. This comes from years of living in Philly and dealing with the homeless. I'd actually play a game with the homeless, called Doctor.
You ask the bum asking for money to show you his wallet. If he has less in it than me, I give him money. They usually had more money, or refused to play, because they probably had more money than me.
If they can get 1 buck every 10 minutes, they make more than me (after taxes) and don't have anything to pay for except booze, drugs, and food. I have kid, car, apartment, bills, food, hobbies, clothes, and miscellany to pay for.

whoisfriend asked:
How has Limit performed for you? Good enough to consider other Keiko Suenobu works like Vitamin (and Life, although that will never happen T_T)?
Poorly. At this point is is doing about as well as Twin Spica did. So unless something changes we will most likely not reprint this series. Furthermore, I do not think we will pursue more Suenobu works, or many shojo works in the future.
And unlike other works that struggle in stores (like GTO or some of our 18+ titles), LIMIT does not do very well at conventions. It has not done well in libraries, either. So we really have few options for us to work with to help this book.
All I can say to fans now is… Buy, buy, buy before these books disappear.

The Road to "Glory Revealed"
- Tuesday, April 24, 2007
The two quickly agreed on cloaking the songs in soothing instruments that wouldn't fight the lyrics for attention – instruments such as fiddle, mandolin and Dobro.
Powell and Nasser called on friends to contribute their voices to the CD. Some, like Littrell and Chris Tomlin, served up song ideas as well. Powell says he initially hadn't planned on penning anything for "Glory Revealed," but found inspiration in passages such as Psalm 51, and one of his personal favorites, Zephaniah 3:17, that Nasser passed along to him.
"I wrote five songs in a matter of four hours," Powell says. "The lyrics were already there, so it was just a matter of finding the version of the Bible – whether it was the New International Version or New Living Translation or others – that flowed. The Scriptures don't rhyme like the songs we are familiar with, so the challenge was to phrase lyrics in a way that made sense and [held true] to the scriptural text while making sense in a Westernized song." Of the album's 10 tunes, each is comprised of direct passages from Scripture, whether in the verse or chorus, Powell says.
Listeners have the opportunity to experience the music of "Glory Revealed," as well as Nasser's message, this spring on a unique tour this month. Confirmed artists include Powell, Littrell, Hyper Static Union's Shawn Lewis, Shane & Shane, Trevor Morgan, Candi Pearson-Shelton and Starfield's Tim Neufeld. The tour features an intimate, living room-style setup where all the artists will be on the stage leading worship simultaneously.
"We want people to not only get to know the Scriptures better through this, but to get to know Jesus through His own words," Powell explains. He offers this reason: "I had made a rough mix of the songs to listen to in my car. I didn't know that my family had been listening to it while driving, and one day I got in the car with them. They turned the CD on, and my little girl, who is seven, started singing along to Zephaniah 3:17:
The Lord Your God is with you
He's mighty to save
He will take great delight in you
He will quiet you with his love
He will rejoice over you with His singing
"I just started crying. It's so powerful that even little children can hear these songs and memorize them," Powell recalls. "They are planting great seeds of Scripture in their hearts."

TEAMS: Utah Jazz, Miami Heat
Ballertainment Fan escorted from arena for taunting Dwyane Wade Dwyane Wade will not have his buttons pushed and demonstrated such, Monday, when a Utah Jazz fan was escorted from his floor seats at EnergySolutions Arena by security after too much taunting of the Miami Heat guard. First off, allow me to make this public service announcement… Your expensive purchase of floor seats at an NBA game does not grant you license to antagonize or hassle the player's on the court. Granted, a little trash talk from fans is expected by a visiting team, but don't get carried away. This dude got beside himself, and he and his tacky interesting wardrobe were asked to leave the premises. Didn't you love D Wade's gesture? Ultimately. the Jazz defeated the Heat 104-97.

Blackhawks Snap Four-Game Losing Streak Versus Jackets
Al Cimaglia | Jan 11, 2012 | Comments 0
The Blackhawks finally recorded a win in 2012, though it came against the worse team in the NHL. It wasn't a masterpiece, but the Hawks battled hard and found a way to put the Blue Jackets away and record a 5-2 victory.
Viktor Stalberg has owned Columbus this season, and his good fortune continued against them on Tuesday night. Stalberg recorded his first NHL hat trick and Marian Hossa got back on track with a solid plus three performance.
Stalberg is starting to have a nose for the puck and a scoring touch. Offensively, he is going to the correct spots and working hard. On the defensive side of the puck, Stalberg still has lessons to learn. If he can keep his focus in all three zones, Stalberg could have a nice career.
Forward Ben Smith was called up and played well as he recorded his second tally of the season. His buddies from the Rockford Ice Hogs, Kevin Hayes and Andrew Shaw, each had slightly over 18 minutes of ice time. Joel Quenneville has shown a lot of confidence in Shaw and he used him on the penalty kill against the Jackets. Both Hayes and Shaw continue to fit in nicely.
Steve Montador took 19 minutes in penalties during the first period. Montador got an instigator penalty, two extra minutes for fighting with a visor, a five minute fighting major and a 10 minute misconduct.
That meant the Blackhawks had to kill off some penalties, which led to a lot of ice time for Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. To the Hawks credit, although outshot 11-5 in the first frame, the Blue Jackets were held scoreless. The Hawks then scored twice in the middle period and never relinquished the lead.
The Blue Jackets peppered Corey Crawford with 34 shots and he came up with some big saves. Crawford gave the Hawks a chance to win, but he didn't look too comfortable doing so. Crawford is still having trouble absorbing shots. He is struggling with rebounds but hasn't received the best support from his defenders.
Nick Leddy looks shaky in his own zone and has been caught off guard by opposing players near the net. Leddy's playing time was down Tuesday night to only 15:02. He finished a minus two on the game and is a cumulative minus nine over his last four outings.
The stress of playing big minutes appears to have caught up with Leddy.

Hammers are prevented from rising to 5th in the EPL, while S'pore Lions romp to a goal-feast
®Copyright MediaCorp
In English football action,
West Ham United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Stoke City this morning.
At Upton Park, Jonathan Walters put the visitors in front after 13 minutes, when he fired in at the near post from 10 metres out.
But the Hammers equalised 3 minutes after the break, when Joey O'Brien scored his first Premier League goal by turning in Gary O'Neil's low cross.
With the draw thou, West Ham are level on 19 points with 6th ranked Arsenal while Stoke remain in 14th position.
Still on English football,
Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa will require another 4 weeks to recover from his knee injury.
The 23 year old suffered the injury a month ago during a Champions League group match.
And although the Japanese striker was expected to return within 4 weeks, it's now confirmed that Shinji requires yet another month to fully recover.
But there is some good news for the Red Devils, as England defender Phil Jones returns to the United squad ahead of tomorrow's Champions league clash against Galatasaray.
The 20 year old who has yet to make an appearance this season, has fully recovered from knee surgery.
Switching to local football action,
Our Singapore Lions wrapped up their preparations for the Suzuki Cup, by thrashing Pakistan 4-0 last night.
At the Jurong West Stadium, more than 1,600 fans turned up to catch Shi Jiayi score the opening goal within 2 minutes.
Khairul Amri made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark.
Then later in the 2nd half, captain Sharil Ishak found the net for the Lions' 3rd goal.
And 42 year old substitute Aleksander Durich scored the 4th and final goal 2 minutes from the end.
This was the Republic's 1st win in their last 4 friendly matches.
And they'll depart for Kuala Lumpur on Thursday, before meeting the defending Cup champions Malaysia on Sunday night at the Bukit Jalil Stadium.

No longer top dog
Java deposed at top of TIOBE Index
It's finally happened then - Java is no longer the most popular software language according to the TIOBE Programming Community index.
The drop into second place behind C means Java's near-decade stranglehold on the top spot is no more, attaining a 17% rating compared to C's 17.5%. It was always coming though as Java's popularity has steadily declined by around a percentage point per month for as long as we can remember. C's slightly slower drop in popularity means it has become No.1. This is the first time since 2004 where Java hasn't held top spot, after Google's methodology confused matters.
The TIOBE compilers believe that Java's downfall won't continue much further saying 'Java will not decline much further due to the popularity of the Android platform, C is able to remain number one for at least another couple of months'
Another interesting note from the April 2012 rankings is that Scala has entered the top 50, placing at #45 with 0.23%. Perhaps this is the start of a big climb up the ladder? JVM stalwart Groovy charts at #30, whilst Google's Go language has risen ten places to #70. Not exactly setting the world alight, but it's hard to gauge how many people are using the language, in terms of lines of code written.
The monthly TIOBE Programming Community index indicates the popularity of programming languages, by using popular search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu to calculate the rankings. It does not state what the best language is, merely which is featuring most on search engines. If you're looking for a line-by-line rundown via GitHub, check out RedMonk's rankings from recently.

For Buffett, it's good to be a saint
David Sokol, heir apparent at Berkshire Hathaway, resigns after buying stock in a Berkshire acquisition target. If it were any company but Warren Buffett's, an investigation would follow.
Call me confused. Confused about how Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) works. Confused about what it might be like to work there. I had this vision -- I am sure you did, too -- of portfolio managers in monk outfits, hairsuits even, working quietly for the master, putting in the time with the icon, learning, learning, learning. An abbey of apprentice-saints waiting for anointment.
Now I am thinking: What the heck? They are trading ahead of deals, trading for their personal accounts, darting in and out of potential targets when it is known that the saint is about to pounce and talks about it to everyone in the world?
Consider, after all, that if this is the behavior of the heir apparent David Sokol, who the heck knows what's going on there? What are the little, less-scrutinized and less-hyped individuals doing? Anything they want, on an honor system? Cool!
Most shops have really strict rules to prevent these kinds of things. At my firm I said everything that was learned at the company -- every insight, every gleam of an idea -- was owned by the partners. We owed our firm to them, and they paid us handsomely so we could have NO PERSONAL ACCOUNTS. I said it was, per se, wrong.
Maybe some people think that's extreme. I liked it for its no-exceptions simplicity. Others allow personal accounts but with very strict trading provisions.
But I don't know a company that is so loosey-goosey, as Berkshire looks like it was, to allow an employee -- sorry, the saints-in-waiting are employees, after all -- to buy or sell without notice, let alone to buy ahead of time when a deal could be in the works.
Of course, it's worse than the letter. Sokol buys stock, tells the saint, blows out the stock, then sells it back. Bigger than before. Much bigger.
That doesn't concern me. I care about the process. I care about how a company works. I care about what the regimen is. Right now I am thinking that there wasn't one.
For anyone else, there would be a real investigation, as this is, alas, an investment firm.
For this, here's how it plays out: "Warren Buffett brought it to our attention. He's assured us that it won't happen again. Case not closed. Case never opened."
It's good to be a saint.

I applaud Cramer for his take on Buffet. I am usually a critic of Cramer and CNBC as shills for Wallstreet. Buffet is beginning to show his true colors as a brilliant wallstreet insider who plays the same games as the other crooks play. I hope Cramer continues to seperate himself from the shills and lapdogs who have rigged the game for us small investors. Support our troops and buy American.

Thanks, C. It was a great time. My family came in from Upstate New York, New Jersey and San Francisco, and my wife's family came in from Wisconsin. The wife wanted me to wear a solid navy 3 x 2 SB suit (what I wore to our wedding) but I prevailed and insisted on black tie. The ivory DJ was Brogued's idea - I found one on Tuesday and it was ready by Saturday morning.

North Dakota governor signs ban on abortion because of genetic defects or if heartbeat is detected
This morning, North Dakota GovernorJack Dalrymple signed a ban on abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be detected. He also signed a first-of-its-kind law banning abortion for reasons of genetic defects such as Down syndrome.
from AP:
Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed legislation Tuesday that that would make North Dakota the nation's most restrictive state on abortion rights, banning the procedure if a fetal heartbeat can be detected — something that can happen as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
The Republican governor also signed into law another measure that would makes North Dakota the first to ban abortions based on genetic defects such as Down syndrome.
The measures are fueled in part by an attempt to close the state's sole abortion clinic in Fargo. Supporters of the so-called fetal heartbeat measure said it is a direct challenge the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion up until a fetus is considered viable, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
Abortion-rights advocates have promised a legal fight that they say will be long, costly and unwinnable for the state.
Bring on the legal battle.
The genetic defects ban actually blows apart pro-abortion arguments that "It's my body, and I should choose what happens to it." Here is a clear distinction between the woman's body and that of her unborn child, and for liberals to argue this point on different terms is purely hypocritical. You can't have it both ways.

Anthropological Demography
(Coordinated by Emily Emmott)
WHERE AND WHEN: Alternate Mondays, 1–2pm, Room 128, Anthropology
FIRST MEETING: 7th October 2013, 1-2pm, Room 128, Anthropology
This is a fortnightly meeting of graduate students and staff from various backgrounds who share an interest in diverse anthropological approaches to studying and theorising human demography. A previous incarnation of the group (repro lunch) focused on issues around fertility and reproduction and we now want to expand the remit to other dimensions of demography: mortality, migration, ageing etc. The group aims to provide a forum for cross-disciplinary exchange between social, medical and evolutionary anthropology on diverse demographic phenomena such as variation in fertility rates, mortality differentials, beliefs and attitudes regarding reproduction, maternal and child health, parenting behaviours, and related demographic and social phenomena. The group shares a commitment to communication across the traditional barriers dividing perspectives in anthropology with the aim of enriching the research and learning environment of group members. Meetings are held Monday lunchtimes (1pm-2pm) and members are encouraged to bring their lunch to eat (or share) at the meeting.
Each week, two or more readings are assigned by the group and used as the basis of discussion (~1 hour). Each pre-circulated reading will take a different, and often contrasting, theoretical perspective on the same reproductive phenomena. Readings may include classic readings on a topic or recently published research. On occasion the meeting may also be used to discuss work in progress of group members, such as draft articles, thesis chapters, project proposals or research/data collection instruments.
