"My husband and I treated ourselves and our youngest son and his fiancee to a long weekend in Chicago. We couldn't have chosen a lovelier location! The apartment was spacious, clean and close to public transportation. It was so nice to have covered parking, also. We enjoyed delicious coffee and Swedish pastries for breakfast (from the Swedish Bakery - you have to go!) each morning in the kitchen and sunroom. The walk to the train stop was nice - so many beautiful homes to see along the way. And, we just loved the Andersonville shops! Don't miss the Swedish Museum! This location was a perfect base for exploring the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Paul was very helpful in answering our questions and is an owner that takes pride in his apartment. We definitely plan to return on our next long weekend in Chicago."Guest: Steve B. Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 19, 2014View listing
"We recently spent a wonderful weekend in Chicago. The property is in a great location - walk to amazing restaurants, cute neighborhood shops and walk to public transportation. The apartment is just as described if not better! The owner was great to work with. He communicated with us for our arrival with clear instructions for check-in. There was information in the apartment for restaurants and sights to see in Chicago. We have found a great place to stay for our future visits to Chicago."Guest: Lynn W.

"What a wonderful discovery! My wife and I stayed here during Christmas week with our adult daughter, visiting two sides of the family. This was the perfect home base and getaway from too much festivities. The carriage house has a unique charm and is very comfortable. Cynthia was a generous host, but gave us total privacy too. The neighborhood is quiet but close to everything. Next visit to Chicago, this will be my first choice."Guest: Philip M. Date of Stay: December 2013 Review Submitted: January 19, 2014View listing
"We had a great sibling reunion in this lovely home. The 9 of us who stayed here had everything that we needed. The spacious dining room easily served as a great place to share our meals that we prepared in the very nicely equipped kitchen. The living room was very comfortable for all of us and the 5 bedrooms were like 5 star hotel rooms. The attractions of Galena including dining, shopping, sight seeing, and golf were just a short drive away. The owners were fantastic to work with. I recommend it highly!"Guest: Dale C.

Updated: The official press release just dropped tonight and is included below.
So yeah, the news that broke the internet today and even stole my earlier scoop's thunder.
Lucas Shaw at TheWrap has exclusively reported that Jj Abrams got the Star Wars gig.
He is directing Episode VII.
I really thought Jon Favreau was going to get the gig.
The Wrap story further says that:
Lucasfilm Chief Kathleen Kennedy has been courting Abrams, one of the most successful directors and producers in Hollywood — and a man beloved by fanboys. He runs one of the industry's top production companies, Bad Robot, and created or co-created television franchises like "Lost," "Fringe" and "Alias." He has also directed film spectacles "Mission: Impossible III," "Star Trek" and "Super 8."
The lure of the Jedi was too strong, and it will no doubt complicate his relationship with Paramount, where Bad Robot is a top supplier. »

I'm finally finding my form at Liverpool, declares Andy Carroll
Andy Carroll believes he is starting to show his best form since moving to Liverpool as the Reds prepare for the Carling Cup final
Andy Carroll believes he is finally hitting top form at Liverpool – and just in time for the Carling Cup final on Sunday.
The 23-year-old has endured a difficult start to his Reds career since moving from Newcastle United last January, scoring just eight times in 40 appearances.
But the England striker has recently shown signs of improvement and netted Liverpool's third goal before setting up Luis Suárez during their 6-1 victory over Brighton in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday.
"I feel like I am doing well and have just started to get going," Carroll told Liverpool's website. "I am scoring goals and I feel like I am doing well in games now. It's all starting to come together for me.
"This is the best I've felt since I have been here, without a doubt. I feel fit and confident and I think it is showing in my performances.
"I'm getting around the pitch more and getting involved. I think it shows that I am happier and more confident."
Liverpool face Cardiff City in the Carling Cup final and Carroll is hopeful Reds boss Kenny Dalglish will hand the striker a starting spot at Wembley.
"It's a massive game on Sunday and all the lads are looking forward to it," he added.
"We have got such a good squad, anyone could come in and play. You have just got to work hard in training and the manager will pick the team.
"I've never been to a cup final before so it's a great feeling to get there and I'm just hoping we can win it now. We have been playing well the last couple of weeks and starting to put the performances in."
Carroll is confident he can finally develop a productive relationship with his strike partner Suárez, after the former Magpies forward set up the Uruguayan for the sixth goal against Brighton.
"It was great that we both scored," he said. "For me it was nice to get one in front of the Kop. It was a great ball from Stevie. He picked me out and all I had to do was put it in the back of the net.
"At the end I just thought it was important to set Luis up. It was a great ball by Jose Enrique and Luis was probably in a better place than me. He was there and he just nodded it home.
"I thought the whole team played well, we gelled together and passed it well. We got the goals that we have been lacking."

Story adds a workstation to the sofa bed
Our shrinking urban living spaces have spawned lots of architectural attempts at creating new housing that is small but perfectly formed, but what about those who already own or rent an apartment or flat? They have to rely on inventiveness to create more space from nothing. The "Story" tackles this idea with a new addition to an old favorite – it's a sofa bed and workstation combined. Read More
Shelevator gives kitchen storage a lift

Additionally, the internal surface area of just one gram of the new material would cover one-and-a-half football fields. Read More

State Patrol: 1 dead in I-5 wrong-way crashFebruary 28, 2014 @ 8:26 pm (Updated: 6:49 pm - 3/1/14 )
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - The Washington State Patrol says an Interstate 5 crash involving a wrong-way driver has killed a 6-year-old boy and left three other people hospitalized.
The Columbian reports that an 84-year-old man driving south in northbound lanes Friday afternoon collided head-on with a car driven by a La Center, Wash., woman who had two children with her. The crash took place just north of Vancouver.
The patrol identified the southbound driver as Gage Musgrave of Vancouver. The 6-year-old boy was riding in a car driven by 32-year-old Ericka Gorremans. A 10-year-old boy in that car has been flown to a Portland hospital. Both drivers were also hospitalized.
Trooper Will Finn says the elderly driver was not immediately able to tell troopers what led up to the collision.
The State Patrol says a third vehicle was destroyed but its driver was unhurt.

Israel-based Azrieli Group buying One Wells Fargo for $245 million
Send this to a friend
An Israeli real estate firm has agreed to buy the 42-story One Wells Fargo Center, the former headquarters for Wachovia Corp. in uptown Charlotte, for $245 million.
Azrieli Group says it entered into an agreement Wednesday to purchase the 985,315-square-foot property and is working to secure $160 million in financing for the acquisition. The company expects to obtain a loan for 10 to 12 years with a fixed rate of 4.5 percent.
Wells Fargo & Co. is the largest tenant at the building, located at 301 S. College St. The bank occupies 686,834 square feet, or 70 percent of the tower, in a lease that runs through 2021. Azrieli says One Wells, which is 97.8 percent occupied, will generate average annual net operating income of $18.5 million until that main lease agreement expires. First-year net operating income after the purchase is expected to total $16.3 million.
The lease deal with Wells has no premature termination option and includes a mechanism for a one-time rent increase of 20 percent, as well as an extension option for an additional term of 10 years.
The building is owned by an affiliate of Childress Klein Properties and was listed for sale with CBRE Group Inc. last year. Azrieli says it has engaged Childress Klein to lease and manage the property through 2015.
Azrieli owns a chain of shopping malls and offices in Israel and is listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange after holding an initial public offering in 2010. According to its website, Azrieli Group's holdings also include a majority stake in Grante HaCarmel, with subsidiaries in the energy, paint, water and environmental industries; a 20 percent interest in credit card company Leiumi Card; and a 4.8 percent holding in Bank Leumi Le-Israel.

How should Korea combat paedophilia?
Publication Date : 11-09-2012
The kidnap and rape of a 7-year-old girl in Naju, South Jeolla Province, earlier this month has reopened the debate on how to deal with society's most reviled criminals. Like the case of Cho Doo-soon, who brutally raped an 8-year-old girl in 2008, Ko Jong-seok's heinous act has sparked a raft of proposals from lawmakers and law enforcement to deal with those who prey on children. In the days after the attack, the National Police Agency announced one month of increased police patrols and a crackdown on child pornography, while a lawmaker from the Saenuri Party, Rep. Park In-sook, proposed a bill that would allow for the physical castration of child rapists.
"How much these children suffer is unbelievably much, much more than the penalty they (the perpetrators) receive from the judge," Park, a cardiologist by profession, told The Korea Herald on Friday.
Park rejected the suggestion that the procedure would be at odds with the principles of a civilised society, adding that it has few side effects and does not even require a general anesthetic.
"These children live with permanent damage, physically, mentally, and psychologically, neurologically … and economically … So if you compare the human rights of these criminals with the victims, whose human rights are more important? Who should be protected? It is just incomparable," she said, pointing out that Finland, the Czech Republic and Germany, among other countries, allow the practice.
Legal measures
Park, who has also proposed the introduction of a smartphone application that would alert users to the location of convicted sex offenders within a 1km radius, added that a recent opinion poll showed that 96 per cent of Koreans support her castration bill proposal.
"This is the philosophy I had all my life but I had no chance to speak to the public until I came to the National Assembly," she said. "Also, the important thing is these crimes are getting worse and becoming more often."
When it comes to an effective legal response to those who target children, understanding more about the scale and nature of the problem is crucial, said Korean Institute of Criminology research fellow Kim Han-kyun.
"The first step we need to take is to study and research the real reality of paedophiles and sex offenders against children in our society, then we may have specific and substantive measures against paedophiles," said Kim. "But the problem is no one knows yet how many paedophiles there are in our society and (how) serious the problem of paedophiles is now at the moment in our society."
While it is unclear how many paedophiles exist in Korea - US estimates put the figure there at around 4 per cent of the population - recorded sex crimes against the young have risen in recent years. The number of cases of sexual assault and rape against minors soared from 857 in 2007 to 2,054 last year. Even more strikingly, the offender in 43 per cent of cases from January to June 2011 involving victims under 13 received a suspended sentence. Where prison sentences have been applied, they have often been seen by the public as excessively lenient. Cho Doo-soon's attack on the 8-year-old known only as Na-young led to a 12-year prison sentence, a punishment widely denounced as too light for a crime that left a school girl with permanent, life-changing injuries.
"The statutory punishment on sex offenders and sex offenders against children is severe enough but the problem is the sentencing," said Kim. "Although South Korean legislators have made very strict and severe punishment, the judges have given soft sentences. I think the sentencing guidelines for sex offenses against child should be amended for more harsh and strict sanctions on such offenders."
A conservative, male-dominated judiciary is likely part of the reason for soft sentencing, added Park.
While methods of punishment and deterrent have generated much comment, considerably less attention has focused on just what causes sexual attraction to children in adults, not all of whom necessarily act on their urges and commit crimes. There has been scant research on the subject in Korea at all, according to Park Han-son, a psychiatrist at Saint Andrew's Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province.
"Unfortunately, there are few academic reports or research about paedophilia in Korea. Paedophilia is a very important paraphilia because this mental disorder causes some substantial mental and physical damage to victims, like sadomasochism. But, only a small minority of psychiatrists is interested in pedophilia now," Park said.
Park estimated that paedophiles receiving treatment are a tiny minority.
"We should handle patients legally after the occurrence of the criminal event. And we need to approach this problem from a scientific viewpoint for a lot of potential patients. However, the basic responses to this problem in Korea are criticism against the government or meaningless lamentation of a moral gangrene ... There is no systematic measure for the psychiatric management of sociopathic or pedophilic persons. I can say that (a) very limited number of (paedophiles) is receiving professional treatment in Korea."
Stigmatisation likely deters those who want help from coming forward, added Park.
"The stigmatisation of psychiatric disorder has been documented for decades after the introduction of modern psychiatric practice in Korea. Even some psychiatrists are reluctant to see paraphilic patients. Destigmatisation of psychiatric patients and improving awareness of mental disorders is needed for more potential patients to get medical help for managing their deviant sexual interest."
While paedophilia has long been termed a mental disorder, an increasing body of opinion in recent years has defined it as an unalterable sexual orientation, calling into question the effectiveness of treatment.
In the US, about 50 per cent of convicted paedophiles reoffend, though programs to treat the predilection have shown mixed success.
Root causes
Explanations for the root causes also differ, ranging from childhood abuse to less white matter in the brain.
"Paedophilia is related to low self-esteem, poor social skills and impaired self-concept, psychologically," said Park. "The patients tend to be very shy and passive-aggressive when it comes to personality. Some doctors say this disorder is related to inappropriate attachment with the primary care-giver in childhood. Personally, I reckon poor cognitive inhibition of deviated sexual fantasy is the main cause of actual child sexual molestation."

Signs of spring blooming in bright orange
Updated On: Apr 10 2013 07:15:52 PM EDT
Some signs of spring bloom in bright orange.
Opening Day for construction season doesn't get a parade, as the Reds do for their season opener, but it does mean miles-long lines of regularly spaced orange barrels along area roadways.
"We're going to do everything we can to keep traffic moving, to keep the dust down, to keep the noise down and to make sure it's at the appropriate time of the day or week," said Jerry Wray, director of the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Major work has already begun on Interstate 75 at Mitchell Avenue to increase the number of lanes in the Mill Creek Valley.
Wray said Ohio has nearly 1,000 projects across the state totaling nearly $2.3 billion, including the Hopple Street interchange upgrade and work on the Jeremiah Morrow Bridge on Interstate 71.
Work begins Friday on southbound portions of Interstate 471 in northern Kentucky.
"Heavy traffic northbound in the morning, heavy traffic southbound in the afternoon" said Rob Hans, chief district engineer with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. "This year afternoon traffic is what's going to be experiencing impact."
Major projects will also be undertaken on Ky. 16 in Taylor Mill between Interstate 275 and Hans Pike.
A bridge will be built on Camp Ernst Road over Ky. 18 near Burlington.

Mindanao power crisis may worsen next month—Napocor
More News from Amy R. Remo
MANILA, Philippines—State-run National Power Corp. on Monday warned that the continued decrease of the water level at Lake Lanao would force it to limit the power generation from the 700-megawatt Agus power complex starting next month.
This move is expected to further worsen the rotating brownouts being felt in the island, given the prevailing shortfall in power supply. As of Monday, the Mindanao grid posted a power supply deficit of 121 MW.
In a statement, Napocor explained that based on estimates, the water elevation at Lake Lanao is expected to go down to the critical level of 699.15 meters above sea level by May, assuming that there will be no improvements in the inflow of water to the lake.
At this elevation, Napocor is required under its operating protocol to start curtailing its operations, resulting to limited electric power generation from the Agus hydro plants. The power firm is likewise mandated to ensure that the lake's elevation must not also go below 698.15 masl. Otherwise, Napocor has no choice but to shut down the operations of the Agus hydropower plants altogether,
This is highly critical considering that the Agus power complex, together with the Pulangi power facility, provides 53 percent of the electricity requirements of Mindanao.
"Thus, in order to ensure that Napocor will be able to safely maintain Lake Lanao elevation within reasonable level for the May 13, 2013 elections and ensure sufficient power generation during the election period, Napocor will start conserving Lanao Lake water by strictly supplying power to the extent of its contracted capacity with its customers of 924 MW for the months of April and May 2013," the government firm explained.
As of now, Napocor assured that it can still supply the electricity requirements under its existing power supply contracts with Mindanao customers, amid concerns regarding the decreasing water levels at Lake Lanao.
Napocor said its power plants and its contracted capacities from independent power producers, can generate 1,071 MW during peak hours, which would be adequate to meet its contractual obligations pegged at 924 MW.

Rockies plan to take it slow with Huston Street
Apr 6, 2010, 7:20 PM EDT
On Monday, we mentioned that Colorado closer Huston Street visited Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his right shoulder. Well, today, Troy Renck of the Denver Post tells us that an MRI on Street's shoulder revealed some inflammation, but no structural damage.
While that is very positive news, Renck reports that after numerous setbacks, the Rockies plan to take it even slower with Street's rehab. As such, he'll continue doing shoulder strengthening exercises before even attempting to play catch again.
This pretty much takes him out of the mix for all of April, if not most of May, as well. Ultimately, it's difficult to give a definitive timetable until Street actually goes out there and throws against live hitters again. Let's just say that Franklin Morales will be given the opportunity to close games for a while, for better or worse.
Remember, the 26-year-old Street was signed to a three-year, $22.5 million contract extension in January.

Last week, First Sgt. Albert Marle was traveling between Portland and Charlotte aboard a US Airways flight. He asked the flight attendant if she would hang up his jacket, which was located in first-class seating. More information and detail can be found via this article from Fox News. To summarize, the flight attendant refused because the closet was for first-class passengers only. Placing the jacket of First Sgt. Marle, a passenger flying coach, would be against company policy. A passenger on the plane wrote this on his Facebook page…
A couple of team members and I discussed this incident today at NS4L. Sometimes the best way to learn is through the experiences of others, right? It brought on some interesting questions…
Did this flight attendant do anything wrong? She was following company policy. She didn't write the company policy. Was she afraid she may get fired for not following policy? Isn't this just common sense? Here is a member of our armed forces that puts his life on the line in order to defend our country and freedom, shouldn't we be serving him the way he serves us?
This created an interesting discussion and here is my suggestion for any business…
Prioritize CORE VALUES over Rules and Policy. I tried to Google 'Core Values US Airways' and could not find any listed on their company website or elsewhere. This doesn't mean they don't have any, but if they do, they are not at the forefront of what they do. Personally, I hate 'rules' but even I understand that sometimes they are necessary. However, if you let CORE VALUES take precedent over any policy, then your team will always have what they need to make good decisions.
Our Core Values at NS4L are as follows:
1. Create and Recreate the UCE – Ultimate Customer Experience
2. Stay Calm and Scoot On (When things get tough, remain calm, take a deep breath, and proceed.)
3. Don't Believe the Hype! (Stay Humble!)
4. Embrace and Shape Change
5. Keep Promises
6. SOC it to Me (Our way of remembering to maintain a Safe, Organized, and Clean environment.)
7. Communicate Clearly
8. SIQ Awesomeness (Service, Integrity, and Quality)
9. Create a Lifestyle!
10. Always Put a Teammate First
11. Serve a HIGHER PURPOSE!
12. If you are late to work, you better bring breakfast!
If you let your values guide your decision making, you can see how this simplifies circumstances that arise (even if they 'violate policy'). If US Airways had the same values as NS4L for example, the flight attendant could have said, "Hanging this jacket will create the Ultimate Customer Experience for First Sgt. Marle." or could have said, "Doing this would be serving a higher purpose." and be able to make a simple decision, even though it may 'violate policy.'
I want my team to know that if they ever make a decision that is in the best interest of the customer and upholds the core values of NS4L, that I won't get angry with them should it mean 'violating policy.' I think this would be a great practice for all business leaders…
Establish core values with your team. Write down what your values are as a team and then LIVE by them. Make decisions by them. HIRE and FIRE by them. Let your team members know that if they ever get stuck in a situation where they are unsure what to do, ask themselves… "Would this be violating any of our core values or would it be delivering on our core values?"
What are your thoughts? Was this flight attendant wrong or was she just doing her job?

From the Ground Up
Published: March 30,1998
Sometimes it helps to stop and think about the odds when attempting to land that big economic development project.
Last week, I had an opportunity to hear a presentation by Roy Williams, a partner in The Economic Development Group Inc., Phoenix, Ariz., and an experienced economic development strategist. He put forth some interesting facts to show how competitive the business of economic development has become and how hard communities must work to be successful.
He pointed out that this year there will be approximately 2,500 major projects that create primary jobs. That sounds like a lot of opportunity until one considers that there are some 25,000 economic development organizations in the United States.
Therefore, the overall odds of success for each organization are one in 10. However, the odds change depending on location. He said that 75% of those projects will locate in urban areas. Now the odds change to three in 40 for an urban area and one in 40 for a rural area. Stated another way, in an urban area a new primary jobs facility will be located in the vicinity every 13 years. In a rural area, it will occur every 40 years.
He went on to say that 90% of the projects will employ less than 100 employees.
Thus the odds of a major employer (more than 100 employees) locating in a particular urban area are three in 300, or every 133 years, and one in 400, or every 400 years, in a rural area.
A community can increase its odds by doing several things. It can do research and planning on its workforce, market area and strategic advantages so that it can target companies and expanding industries likely to match the community's characteristics.
For example, a community in south Mississippi is going to have an easier time recruiting a lumber mill than a snowmobile manufacturer. It has nearby forests; it does not have nearby snowmobile buyers.
It can also construct appropriate speculative buildings on good sites. It is very important to an expanding company to be able to get up and running as quickly as possible. An available building shortens the start-up time.
Next, it can have financing programs in place available to the company. Relocating companies do not place much stock in a community that tells them that it will change laws to make the deal work. The laws should have already been changed and the financing incentives already in place.
The community must also market itself. It cannot expect the world to seek it out. A community that does not market itself and prospect for new companies is going to get just what it asks for — nothing. Its odds become astronomical.
Finally, and this is really the first thing, community attitude must be business-friendly and welcome new industry. As someone who did site selection work for several years, I can personally testify that a company will not go into a community that does not want it to be there. Successful communities realize that they must overcome local turf battles, racial problems and inept government if they are to compete in today's environment.
How important is community attitude? According to Williams, community attitude is not only the first thing, it is the most important factor that a community can do to overcome the odds.
Given the above odds, one would think that Mississippi doesn't have too much of a chance. After all, it is primarily a rural state with few urban areas. But Mississippi is doing something right. The March 1998 issue of Site Selection magazine ranked Mississippi fourth in the nation in new jobs per million population during the 1995-1997 period. During that time there were 11,904 new jobs created per million residents.
Mississippi is beating the odds.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce both hit solo homers and Johnny Cueto tossed eight stellar innings of one-hit ball to help the Cincinnati Reds blank the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-0, Friday in the opener of a three-game set at PNC Park.
Cueto (3-0), who returned to Pittsburgh for the first time since suffering a strained right triceps in a 3-1 loss April 13, struck out six and walked one batter in the impressive victory.
The right-hander also improved to 13-4 in 21 career starts against the Pirates, including a 8-2 mark in 13 games at Pittsburgh.
"He was pretty vintage if there is such a thing," Bruce said of Cueto. "He looked great."
Phillips scored three times while Derrick Robinson drove in two runs for the Reds, who snapped a brief two-game skid.
Pittsburgh, which had a six-game home winning streak come to an end, saw starter Wandy Rodriguez (6-3) allow both solo shots and walk three over seven innings.
The lefty was looking to win a career-high five straight starts, but fell to 0-3 over his last six outings versus Cincinnati.
After both starters escaped the first three frames unharmed, Bruce came through for the visitors in the fourth. Rodriguez served up a 2-0 offering and Bruce crushed it over the right-center wall for a 1-0 Cincinnati lead.
The Reds struck again in similar fashion two innings later. Phillips smacked Rodriguez's inside breaking ball for a line-drive shot just over the left field wall giving Cincinnati a 2-0 advantage.
Cueto, meanwhile, continued to cruise and finished retiring 21 of the last 22 batters he faced. The only hit he allowed came from Brandon Inge in the fifth, a shallow poke to left.
The visitors added two runs in the eighth off Pittsburgh reliever Mike Zagurski and two more runs in the ninth.
"It was a poor effort and needs to get better," Zagurski said. "It was a lack of execution."
Phillips was plunked to open up the eighth, then stole second and advanced to third on Bruce's single. He scored on Zagurski's wild pitch to Todd Frazier and to make matters worse, Frazier drew a walk during the same at-bat, and Bruce crossed the plate on Robinson's RBI single to make it 4-0.
Zagurski walked Robinson with the bases loaded in the final frame to make it 5-0. The next pitcher, Bryan Morris, had the same fate and walked in another run by issuing a free pass to Ryan Hanigan to complete the scoring.
Prior to the game, Pittsburgh recalled outfielder Alex Presley from Triple-A
Indianapolis, optioned infielder Josh Harrison to Indianapolis and reinstated
fellow infielder Chase d'Arnaud from the disabled list and optioned him to

Prospect Profile: Steve Stanley
Stanley had a lot of success with Notre Dame.
By Melissa Lockard
Senior Editor
Date: Mar 15, 2005
When the baseball term "sparkplug" was coined, it was with players like Oakland A's outfield prospect Steve Stanley in mind. Stanley, the former Notre Dame star, exudes passion when he is out on the field. The 2002 second round pick may not be the most talented player on any team, but he combines a good set of baseball smarts and all-out effort to make himself a solid ballplayer.

This is the latest installment in our "Difference Between…" series, in which we explain the differences between commonly confused or misunderstood legal concepts.
Beyond a reasonable doubt. Even to non-lawyers, this is one of the most widely recognized legal phrases. But it is, of course, so much more than just a phrase. Beyond a reasonable doubt is a legal concept known as a standard of proof. In simple terms, a standard of proof is the burden that an individual must meet in order to win a case. In a criminal trial, a prosecutor must meet the standard of proof by establishing that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
