Joseph Randle runs for 4 TDs as No. 3 Oklahoma State whips Baylor
STILLWATER, Okla. -- When it mattered the most, No. 3 Oklahoma State made every yard seem like the longest yard for Robert Griffin III and Baylor.
Joseph Randle set career-highs by running for 152 yards and four touchdowns, Justin Blackmon matched his career best with 13 catches for 172 yards and two scores and the Cowboys carried a shutout into the fourth quarter of a 59-24 win over the Bears on Saturday.
Brodrick Brown recovered two fumbles, and Daytawion Lowe and Justin Gilbert had interceptions as the Cowboys (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) forced five turnovers and stopped the Bears twice on fourth-and-1.
"I think at that point, you just have to dig deep and just find something inside of you to not let them in the end zone," safety Markelle Martin said. "Let's not make it easy on them."
Far from it.
The Cowboys ran out to a 35-0 halftime advantage that was hardly indicative of how competitive the game was, but Baylor came up with absolutely nothing out of a series of promising drives.
The Bears (4-3, 1-3) were stuffed on fourth-and-1 twice, including on the goal line on their opening drive, and Gilbert picked off one of Griffin's passes in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 5. Aaron Jones also continued his struggles, missing a 48-yard field goal.
The Bears got inside the Oklahoma State 35-yard line on each of their first five drives and then found a way to give the ball back without getting any points.
"'Sickening' comes to mind because you know how important it is to punch it in in that situation," coach Art Briles said. "It's not like you are going to pitch a shutout game against them but you certainly better match scores when you have opportunities and we didn't."
That's nothing new for the Cowboys.
OSU came into the game ranked 103rd in the nation in yards allowed -- easily the worst of the eight remaining undefeated teams -- but has consistently found ways to get critical stops when needed. The Pokes lead the nation in turnover margin and added to their Bowl Subdivision lead in interceptions by picking off their 16th and 17th of the season.
Glasco Martin also fumbled inside the 1-yard line in the third quarter, setting up Oklahoma State's second 99-yard touchdown drive of the game.
"They didn't want to give anything up," OSU coach Mike Gundy said. "We talk to them all the time about fighting right 'til the end."
The Cowboys started a season with eight straight wins for only the second time in school history. The other time was in 1945, when they finished the season 9-0, won the Sugar Bowl and were ranked fifth in the final poll.
"It's a sweet feat," said quarterback Brandon Weeden, who had 274 yards passing and three touchdowns without any interceptions.
"But last year we were talking about winning 11 games and how exciting that was, and we're not there yet. We've still got a lot left on our plate."
Griffin threw for 425 yards to end up 5 shy of his career best set last week. In a matchup of two of the nation's top three offenses, the Bears' second-ranked attack outgained Oklahoma State's third-ranked unit 622-601 but the scoreboard was lopsided the opposite way.
Baylor didn't get into the end zone until the first play of the fourth quarter, when Terrance Ganaway's 18-yard scamper made it 49-10.
"The score is crazy," Ganaway said. "It looks lopsided but ... if we don't have any turnovers and finish in the red zone, it's a whole new ballgame. That's what we have to work on. We have to make sure we're taking care of the ball and playing smart."
To start the game, Griffin drove the Bears 68 yards with relative ease to set up first-and-goal at the 2. Three running plays later, they had only made it to the 1 and Briles decided to give it to Ganaway once more.
"For us, it's just pride right there. There's no space to worry about. It's just you versus that guy in front of you," Martin said.
"So for us, it's that battle that you want every day. You don't have to worry about nothing else, just you and the guy in front of you."
The Cowboys, who've been hearing the increasing noise that they can't win a BCS title with a 100th-ranked defense, won that battle over and over again.
"We wanted to go out and prove that we are a good defense," Martin said. "I think that fire was lit and we all shined and had fun."
Randle, who also scored four total touchdowns last week, ran for TDs from 2, 62 and 7 yards as the Cowboys built up a 35-0 halftime lead. He then followed Brown's 47-yard fumble return by scoring from 7 yards out early in the third quarter.
Blackmon, an All-American last season, returned after missing the second half of last week's game with a head injury to catch TD passes from 2 and 8 yards. Weeden's other scoring pass was an 18-yarder to fullback Kye Staley, who had given up the game entirely after a serious knee injury and got into the end zone for the first time in his comeback.
Terrance Williams caught eight passes for a career-high 154 yards, including a 72-yard fourth-quarter touchdown, and Kendall Wright had 117 yards on 11 receptions as Baylor lost in Stillwater for the 10th straight time and fell to 1-15 against OSU in Big 12 play.
Griffin also scored on a 1-yard run -- finally ending the Bears' short-yardage struggles on their 14th snap inside the 5 and long after it mattered.

ACY breakingout affter EFOI. SVT is too small. Also watching AQXP and FORD. Can these small float plays keep doing well insuch bad market?
all making profit and very small. ACY about to join EFOI to new high. SVT looks good for breakout too. Can these keep doing well despite this bad market?
what is moving AQXP? just the small float or potential products?
Is the real P/E very low?
SVT on the move after good Q. Is tis ointo be anotherAQP????
Could SVT be bought like MAGS was bought a week ago? MAG was bought for $50 per share ($20 premium).
good entry point for FEYE here or wait for October to avoid the next 3 months drop in the general market?
what target for BABA by Friday? I am watching my options very closely!
Is SYN too undervalued as another play on Microbiome?
SYN should trade above $15 compared to MCRB. SYN is Microbime and much more while MCRB is a pure play (that could explain why SYN is still sub $10). If volume keeps up then $10 should be here in no time. Remember, SYN is a play on MS too which is huge (look at RCPT as another MS play just bought by CELG).
SYN had huge breakout. Could MCRB recent ipo valuations push SYN past $10? Is SYN next M & A target after RCPT?
so far no interest in SUTR, all the action is in CHOP. Which has better fundamental as China steel plays?
CHNR next
GSI next
Q4 revenues are above Q3 -- so a little improvement in revenues Q to Q. YtoY about flat. Watching the huge run in CHOP and hoping for a run like that in FFHL. Both have small floats and all small China stocks are up crazy. Let us see what the conference call brings tomorrow.
glad I made your day:) CHOP float 3.7m and FFHL has only 2.7m float. Any volume and FFHL should move faster than CHOP
could FFHL be ready to double like CHOP did last two days?
QKLS has very small float, trading carefully and CHOP has doubled! JRJC to new high? what is next for small China plays?
watching these two tiny float plays to move like KONE did yesterday. VLTC huge miss, is it too late to buy?
FFHL same float as CHOP -- next one to double?

Please select make, model and yearRadiators
High quality radiators from top industry brans to help keep you bike running.
Dave in AZ
Bought this radiator a week ago and am very satisfied with it so far. Ended up putting it on my son's 2007 Kawasaki KLR650. Worked out well. Fit on easily, works like a charm. My only concern was the hardware. It seems that you need to use your old hardware with the new radiator. Not a big deal in our case. Hope this helps someone save a few hundred bucks on a radiator. We have both the Mylers, and Tusk and performance-wise they are very similar. (The Tusk radiator is just much cheaper)Read All Reviews
Adam in CO
This radiator is obviously more stout than the OEM radiator, but the fit leaves quite a bit to be desired. The radiator cap barely clears the tank and the overflow nozzle is way too long to clear the tank. The overflow nozzle did however shear right off when I tried to unscrew it. On top of the poor fitment the threaded plug for the radiator shroud to bolt to immediately came loose and spun, making it extremely hard to bolt on the radiator shroud. This radiator seemed like it was not designed for the KTM and was simply slapped on as an after thought.Read All Reviews

STEVEN in MT
Smashed the stockers even with guards. Installed the new Fluidyne units which bolted right up. Bigger cores and a tad more anti freeze are a bonus! These are much stronger than stock, looks like welded aluminum plate not thin stamped aluminum. The bike runs noticably cooler now.Read All Reviews
Josh in BC
Doesn't fit with KTM hard parts rad guards and probably doesn't work with any other rad guards. Different shape and bigger than OEM. The biggest hassle is that it doesn't include the washers and rubber grommets needed to mount. Chances are these parts won't be reusable from the rad you're replacing and you'll need to order OEM washers and grommets. The OEM mounting hardware is about $5.00 and should be included for convenience. Bike is an '09 KTM 450 EXC. TECH NOTE: Oversized radiators will not allow the use of radaitor braces or guards. Uses all OEM hardware.Read All Reviews

Source: Cowboys working out DB Antwaun Molden
By Calvin Watkins
IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys will workout cornerback
Antwaun Molden
at Valley Ranch today according to a source.
Molden was cut by the
New York Giants
this summer and had worked out for the
Oakland Raiders
The Houston Texans drafted Molden in third-round pick from Eastern Kentucky in 2008. After three seasons, Molden was released and signed with the New England Patriots for the 2011 season in which he played in 16 games and earned two starts. He had two interceptions.
The Cowboys will have 52 players on their roster after officially placing safety
Barry Church
on injured reserve because of a torn Achilles.
The safety position has issues. Taking a look at Molden, who has the skill set to play the position, makes sense.
Church is not the only safety on the roster with health issues. Starting strong safety
Gerald Sensabaugh
(calf), who missed the Week 3 win over Tampa Bay, said he's all right, but there is no word yet on whether he can play Monday night against the
Chicago Bears
Re-signing cornerback/safety
Mario Butler
, who was cut Saturday to make room for linebacker
Orie Lemon
, is another possibility. Butler cleared waivers Monday. But there are other safeties worth looking at such as
Charlie Peprah

On Rather than Divest, Advocate for Carbon Balancing
The key thing about fossil fuels is that they are FUEL, which powers industry, transportation and supplies heat. We can get all of the above from another source that could ultimately sequester about 79 billion metric tons of CO2 a year rather than by making existing systems less efficient and more costly.
On The Case for Interest Free Sustainable Energy Financing
Grace my thoughts about the OTEC-water nexus are outlined here.
On The Lowest Cost Renewable Energy Comes With a 2000 Percent Environmental Dividend
It precipitates out as a carbonate or bicarbonate. I believe the weathering of the rock, like Robert is talking about, is to take care of the acid stream produced by the electrolysis of sea water. If you didn't neutralize this it would simply dissolve the carbonates produced from the other stream and release the CO2.
On The Lowest Cost Renewable Energy Comes With a 2000 Percent Environmental Dividend
Robert there is an equilibrium between atomospheric and dissolved CO2 in the ocean. Draw down the ocean concentration and the atmospheric draw down would follow.
On The Lowest Cost Renewable Energy Comes With a 2000 Percent Environmental Dividend
Robert, Nihous estimates OTEC can produce 14 TW of energy but gets this from 250,000 100MW plants so I believe he has taken into account most of the inefficiencies of the process. For each mole of hydrogen produced by electrolysis of sea water a mole of sodium would be produced that in turn would precipitate a mole of CO2. A 100 MW OTEC plant produces about 35,000 kg of H2 per day or 12,775,000 kg a year which sequesters 562,000 metric tons of CO2. Full capacity OTEC would therefore sequester about 79 billion metric tons/year of CO2 (currently we are putting about 36 billion metric tons of into the atmosphere) in that process by 2100 and would return atmospheric CO2 concentrations to safe levels.
On Subsidizing Renewables for the Damage Not Done
Clayton It is estimated that at depths from 500 to 2000 meters, the oceans are warming by about .002 degrees Celsius every year, and in the top 500 meters, they're gaining .005 degrees C. (This is all in spite of the fact they are accumulation 93% of the heat of global warming) In contrast the atmosphere has been warming about 3 times faster than the deep ocean and the poles 3 times faster than that. It is apparent therefore that the deep oceans have the greatest capacity to accept the heat of global warming while producing the least temperature increase because of their huge heat capacity. If we were to increase the 500 to 2000 meter heat with OTEC to .005 degrees/yr you would only raise the temperature half a degree in the next hundred years, which I doubt would have much impact on the sparse aquatic life that lives there. The gains during the course of the infrastruce build out on the other hand would be lower atmospheric temperatures, sea level rise and atmospheric and water CO2 concentrations. All and all I think a net environmental plus.
In sequestering CO2 with sodium, the impact on ocean PH is to increase as shown in the diagram because sodium bicarbonate is an antacid.
Re: hydroelectric the O2 whould be drawn from the air but it is also produced by electrolysis of the sea water and a lot of that would be diffused into the atmosphere. Admittedly a lot of this energy would be distributed so only a fraction of the theorectical potential would ever be realized but the production of water at elevation has other benefits such as allowing it to flow to where it is required even if you do not tap the hydro potential.
As to chlorine, this is a problem, which is discussed here and in the comments. There are anodes that are selective for oxygen howere as discussed here. And Greg Rau's technique for accomplishing the same as I have shown in this diagram is a little different as he discusses in the comments indicated above.
(I have expanded on this approach in a Climate CoLab proposal here.)
On The Lowest Cost Renewable Energy Comes With a 2000 Percent Environmental Dividend
With a hydrogen based energy economy, solar and wind no longer have any issues with intermittency since the energy is stored BUT climate change, which is an issue today, is still locked in for 1000 years because of the heat already stored in the ocean. OTEC, in part, is a direct conversion of that heat to useful power. Solar and wind do not directly draw down CO2 levels, sea level rise, tropical storms or potentially provide access to the vast resources dissolved in the ocean.
The Cost of OTEC is hypothetical and therefore potentially is less than indicated. Why would the experience curve for it be any less than for wind?
Although it would apply to solar and wind as well as OTEC, I have offered here a way to halve the cost of any renewable.
The other thing is wind and solar have a lot of NIMBY issues and usurp a lot of land. OTEC operates in no one's backyard and thus would not be confronted by a lot of the issues that are impediments to other sources of energy.
On The Case for Interest Free Sustainable Energy Financing
Thanks for weighing in Dominic. You, Paul, I and a few others are sold on these benefits but we don't have the benefit of a Stiglitz, Hansen, Musk, Branson or Gates to back us up: yet.
Hopefully one day that will come if we keep plugging away.
As to cost and benefits I am working on an MIT climatecolab proposal aimed at trying to put a face of them but as economics is not my field, and perhaps in fact I don't have one, it too would benefit from some professional massaging.
Paul's message that OTEC is "a most intriguing answer that can save us from Armageddon" should ring like a bell.
On Subsidizing Renewables for the Damage Not Done
Meredith I love the idea of subsidizing for damage not done but why not extend the principal to include benefits provided?
In that scenario OTEC would hands down be the winner.
Currently we derive approximately 14 terawatts of primary energy from fossil fuels and produce about 36 billion metric tons of CO2 in that process. Nihous estimates we could produce about 14 terawatts with OTEC and thus reduce CO2 emissions to zero as we could with nuclear wind or solar.
To get energy produced at sea to market however requires the conversion of the electrical energy to the energy carrrier hydrogn by electrolysis. A Lawrence Livermore team has demonstrated that electrolysis of saline water produces not only hydrogen, chlorine and oxygen gases, the resulting electrolyte solution is significantly elevated in hydroxide concentration, which are strongly absorptive and retentive of atmospheric CO2.
The formula is:
Every mole of hydrogen produces a mole of sodium that in turn precipitates a mole of CO2. A 100 MW OTEC plant produces about 35,000 kg of H2 per day or 12,775,000 kg a year which sequesters 562,000 metric tons of CO2. Full capacity OTEC would therefore sequester about 79 billion metric tons/year by the end of the century, which is about how long it would take to build to full capacity, thus CO2 concentrations could be returning to safe levels throughout the build out.
On land the hydrogen is converted in a fuel cell back to electrical energy and water in a process that is thermodynamically the opposite of electrolysis. The enthalpies and entropies are equal but with opposite signs so theorectically you get back the same amount of energy from the fuel cell as was used to electrolyze the water.
Fourteen terawatts produces 1.8 trillion kg of hydrogen a year which in turn converts to 16 trillion kg of water which at a height of 840 meters (the average land height) has the potential to generate an additional 4.3 terawatts of hydro or about 4 times what the world is currently producing.)
This 16 trillion kgs of water in turn is 600 gallons per year for each of the 7 billion of us living on the planet enough to services the recommended intake of a half gallon per day per person twice over.
The UN recommends the cost of water should be US 4 cents/day so this is another potential $100 billion revenue source.
As an added benefit OTEC remedies storm surge and sea level rise and replicates the conditions that have brought about the atmospheric warming hiatus but the topper is it also potentially the cheapest of the renewables and less than nuclear.
On The Case for Interest Free Sustainable Energy Financing
Thanks for the clarification Herb and my best wishes for the efforts of COMER.
On The Case for Interest Free Sustainable Energy Financing
Bob, what distinguishes gratuitous despoiling of the environment from a subsidy? Worse yet are governments that actively susidize these actions. The point of the article however is, it is the banks that are currently the ones being subsidized; outrageously IMHO and again IMHO they appear to be totally risk averse when it comes to clean energy projects even though they are making money hand over fist on the loans they generate out of thin air. (see Money Creation In The Modern Economy)
Your south of France analogy is a red herring, it would be pretty easy to insure that the loans are going into the production of the kind of infrastructure that is required and the creation of that infrastructure would be producing a tremendous amount of economic activity from which the government would extract taxes.
And as a pure accounting matter, infrastructure is a balance sheet item.

"And When Did You Last See Your Father?" by William Frederick Yeames, 1878
depicting English Puritan inquisitors grilling the child of a Royalist family
How hysterical parents, incompetent therapists and malicious prosecutors
destroyed the lives of seven innocent North Carolinians – and
have yet to admit they were wrong
Sweden examines its mistakes – why doesn't N.C.?
Sept. 29, 2015
"Thomas Quick was the name adopted by Swedish petty criminal and drug addict Sture Bergwall, who under 'recovered memory' therapy, confessed to raping, killing and even eating more than 30 victims [during the 1970s and '80s].
"These were supposedly reenactments of 'recovered memories of sexual abuse' he had experienced as a child.
"Extraordinarily compelling in the dock as a witness to his own 'crimes' (which he had never committed), he was convicted of eight murders. He had trawled newspapers for unsolved killings and convinced the Swedish police that he was responsible – even though he never led them to a single body.
"In 2008, his 'confessions' were shown to be untrue and by 2013 the last of his convictions was overturned. The Swedish government has ordered an inquiry into this devastating failure of its justice system. There will be lessons in it for our own [British] authorities."
– From "Is the therapy that brings out false memories behind VIP abuse claims?" by Dominic Lawson in the Daily Mail (Sept. 20)
How about that – a government that wants to examine "the devastating failure of its justice system"! If the State of North Carolina ever felt such an urge, I think I could come up with a case or two that meet that description....
Innocent defendants are poor candidates for recidivism
Sept. 22, 2015
"Pedophilia, the sexual attraction to children who have not yet reached puberty, remains a vexing challenge for clinicians and public officials.... Researchers have found no effective treatment. Like other sexual orientations, pedophilia is unlikely to change....
"Estimates of recidivism vary.... One long-term study of previously convicted pedophiles (with an average follow-up of 25 years) found that one-fourth of heterosexual pedophiles and one-half of homosexual or bisexual pedophiles went on to commit another sexual offense against children...."
– From "Pessimism about pedophilia" in the Harvard Mental Health Letter (July 1, 2010)
As far as I've been able to tell, not a single one of the defendants in the Little Rascals, McMartin, Fells Acres, Wee Care, etc., cases has been accused of later sexual offenses – or had been accused of earlier offenses. How could the serial perpetrators of such outrageous crimes have avoided recidivism?
Footnote: The Harvard researchers also noted that "Nearly all people with
pedophilic tendencies are male. Studies of child molesters have reported
that only 1 percent to 6 percent of perpetrators are female".... Wonder how
the Little Rascals prosecutors explained to themselves how no fewer than
five of their seven defendants happened to be women?
'Ritual abuse' claims exempt from retraction?
Sept. 14, 2015
"Rising retraction rates reflect [in part] the fact that scientists, journalists and amateur watchdogs have begun scrutinizing research more closely....
"This heightened scrutiny – the very scrutiny that likely contributed
to the retractions surge in the first place – could help reverse the
tide, by providing a powerful disincentive to bad behavior. As more
scientific misconduct is exposed and shamed,
researchers who were previously tempted to play fast and loose with their data may now think twice."
– From "A
Scientific Look at Bad Science" by Bourree Lam
in The Atlantic (September 2015)
"The increase in overall retractions is mostly because a higher percentage of journals have begun issuing retractions.... One reason it's taken a while... could be that they had to develop the necessary guidelines for defining, detecting and dealing with 'misconduct'....
"[One] study found that editors are retracting articles significantly faster now than in the past. We might be working our way towards a future in which fraudsters like [Diederik] Stapel won't build up such massive bodies of literature before being unmasked. Their first or second will be caught, before they've done too much damage."
– From "Scientific Retractions are on the Rise, and That May Be a Good Thing" by Rosie Cima at Priceonomics (June 24
"Before they've done too much damage" – ah, if only that applied to the
errant (and still unrepentant) authors and journal editors whose efforts
lent credence to the prosecution during the "satanic ritual abuse" moral
Another child-witness, now grown, spills the beans
Sept. 8, 2015
"Jennifer (a pseudonym) reached out to me after seeing an interview I gave about the McMartin Preschool trial.... She said she had been involved in a similar case as a child and that her experiences with the police, the judicial system, and a series of therapists mirrored those of the McMartin children. Now an adult with a career and family of her own, she agreed to speak with me about her experiences during the trial and in the decades since....
"Jennifer's experiences illustrate the consequences of the misguided 'belief' in children that so many therapists, parents, and cops professed during the 1980s...."
– From "Moral Panic and the Myth of Recovered Memory" by Richard Beck at Literary Hub (Aug. 18)
Although Beck presents more as a historian than a journalist, his interview with Jennifer is a significant addition to the sparse roster of recanting (or not) child-witnesses. Not surprisingly, her account offers numerous parallels not only to McMartin but also to Little Rascals:
••• "lots of phone conversations and meetings" among parents
••• an interviewer with "anatomically correct dolls"
••• her initial insistence that "nothing had happened"
••• "a tour of the jail" arranged by the therapist to assure her that the supposed molester was safely behind bars
••• her capitulation in the face of endless therapy sessions, leading her to "finally just start... making stuff up."
••• the eventual overturning of her day-care teacher's conviction
Might Jennifer's coming forward, however tentatively, lead the way to more
recantations by child-witnesses?
It wasn't just Edenton where lips were zipped

"An 1895 reporter found [Salem] town residents reluctant to talk about the past.
"When they did, it was to impress upon him that they had not burned a single witch. Years later Arthur Miller met with the same silence while researching The Crucible. 'You couldn't get anyone to say anything about it,' he complained of 1692....
"When [an archivist] began an excavation of the parsonage site in 1970, two elderly sisters waved fists at him from across the way.... 'What are you bringing this up for?' they demanded...."

Steinem made case for believing the unbelievable
Sept. 1, 2015
"[As witnesses] children are even less likely to be believed when their stories involve extremes of sadism, collusion among families and communities (sometimes extending over several generations) and so-called ritual or cult abuse – including the torture and killing of animals to frighten children into silence – that are so terrible that authorities decide these things just can't be true.
"Yet many instances of such 'incredible' crimes are documented, sometimes by adults after years of suppressed memory, sometimes by authorities who are now beginning to believe children enough to investigate their stories....."...
– From "Revolution From Within: A Book of Self-Esteem" by Gloria Steinem (1993)
Steinem's semi-autobiography was a best-seller, both profiting from and contributing to the nation's heightened concern with self-esteem.
In addition to using Ms. magazine to tout the existence of "ritual abuse,"
she also helped finance the search for the
imaginary McMartin tunnels.
Dog bites man: 'Paper will not be retracted'
Aug. 26, 2015
In November 2012 the journal Nursing Research declined my request to retract Susan J. Kelley's 1990 article based on the existence of "satanic ritual abuse" in day cares. The editor contended that "Conditions that would lead to a retraction are not present."
Nursing Research having since installed a new editor, I recently tried again. This time I was able to include two important academic developments: Richard Noll's expose of the "satanic ritual abuse" movement in Psychiatric Times and Dr. Allen Frances' personal apology for failing to do more to challenge that movement.
This is an excerpt from the response I received from editor Susan J. Henly, professor emerita, University of Minnesota School of Nursing:
"As I understood it, your argument for retraction [of 'Parental Stress Response to Sexual Abuse and Ritualistic Abuse of Children in Day-care Centers'] was based on the rationale that: the title embraced and promoted the existence of ritual sexual abuse in day cares that did not exist, and that not a single respected academic or professional would be willing to give credence to claims about ritualistic sexual abuse from the times during which the research was conducted.
"In response, I re-read Kelley et al. (1990) many times, reviewed background information, contacted the author, and communicated with the editor of another journal that has published papers on child sexual abuse by Dr. Kelley. Documents related to the original peer review of the Nursing Research paper are not available, and the Editor (Dr. Florence Downs) who accepted the paper is deceased.
"I searched for other papers on this topic from the 1980s to the present and did not locate any, including other original research by Dr. Kelley, that had been retracted. I discussed the methods of the research with Dr. Kelley; she verified what was stated in the paper, which I found to be in accord with expectations for scientific standards and ethical conduct of research. The editor I contacted about a related paper said the journal stood by the integrity of their review process and quality of the scholarship that had been published.
"With regards to issues related to credence of claims about ritualistic sexual abuse, Finkelhor, Williams, Burns, & Kalinowski (1988) included this sort of abuse in their national study of sexual abuse in day care. More recently, Salter (2013) provided a critical overview of debates arising from allegations of organized sexual abuse and addressed issues related to terminology. (Dr. Michael Salter is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Western Sydney). Also, a book by [Ross] Cheit (2014) summarized scholarly work that uses empirical data to challenge the view that cases from the 1980s were based on moral panic of the type described in your message. (Dr. Cheit is Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at Brown University.)
"Findings from the many papers (thousands) in the peer-reviewed literature focused on the forensic, sociological, political, family and health aspects of child sexual abuse will no doubt, with time, contribute to better understanding that can be used to keep children from harm as well as protect the rights of those wrongly accused – both issues that are of critical importance to all citizens.
"Retraction is a mechanism for correcting the literature and alerting readers to publications that contain such seriously flawed or erroneous data that their findings and conclusions cannot be relied upon (Committee on Publication Ethics, n.d.). Criteria for retraction of a paper include: clear evidence that findings were unreliable, the paper was redundant or plagiarized, or the research was conducted unethically.
"Using the process described above, I did not find evidence of any of these concerns in Kelley (1990). For this reason, the paper will not be retracted."
Dr. Henly's rejection letter is thoughtful and earnest, and I appreciate the time and effort it required. Some editors would've simply ignored me. But it is far too narrow, blindered to the big picture. This is from my response to her:
"The 'satanic ritual abuse' day-care moral panic is prominently in the news media these days with publication of 'We Believe the Children: A Moral Panic in the 1980s" by Richard Beck. Unlike Ross Cheit's revisionist "The Witch-Hunt Narrative,' Beck's book already has been positively reviewed in such periodicals as the New York Times (twice), the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. It is the long-awaited standard history of this era, and it establishes clearly that "satanic ritual abuse" was no more than a toxic myth.
"Your citations in defense of Dr. Susan J. Kelley's article do nothing to disqualify your first criterion for retraction: 'clear evidence that findings were unreliable.'
"The 'ritualistic abuse of children in day-care centers' motivating the article simply never happened – what evidence of unreliability could be clearer?
"Would Dr. Kelley today argue otherwise?"
'Antifeminism' to blame? Not so fast, Mr. Beck
Aug. 24, 2015
"[Richard] Beck is generally restrained in his narrative, letting the details pile up to a well-deserved indictment of the many players in the 'moral panic.' But in explaining how these fever dreams managed to seize the national imagination, he does a little witch-hunting of his own. The frenzy, he tells us, was a backlash by family-values conservatives to the social changes around them. It was a period of 'an intense reactionary antifeminism.'
"This is an inexcusably partial interpretation. From Beck's own evidence, feminists themselves were vital players in the hysteria. Gloria Steinem donated money to the McMartin investigation, and Ms. Magazine ran a 1993 cover article 'BELIEVE IT! Cult Ritual Abuse Exists,' even though, by that time, the general public had grown increasingly skeptical of the idea.
"In part because of her aggressive pursuit of child abusers – and conviction of a number of people later exonerated – a relatively unknown Dade County state attorney named Janet Reno was picked by President Clinton to become the nation's first female attorney general. According to Debbie Nathan and Michael Snedeker, the authors of 'Satan's Silence,' [Kee] MacFarlane had been a lobbyist for NOW before she set about terrifying the children of Manhattan Beach.
"With his partisan recounting of the child abuse panic of the 1980s, Beck turns what could have been a careful history about one facet of the nation's exhausting culture wars into one more illustration of them."
– From " 'We
Believe the Children,' by Richard Beck" by Kay Hymowitz
in the New York Times Sunday Book Review (Aug. 21, 2015)
I'm posting this criticism of Beck's book – from an otherwise laudatory review – mostly for archival purposes. My own interest lies less in the tangled roots of the day-care panic than in its results: defendants wrongfully incarcerated, children profoundly misguided and therapists and prosecutors unjustly unscathed.
When imaginary crime leads to real punishment
Aug. 20, 2015
"In the mid-1980s, a friend of mine testified on behalf of an elementary-school teacher who had been accused of being a pedophile.
"A child had told his mother that the teacher had taught them about 'boobies and dicks' and had drawn a picture on the blackboard that sounded suspiciously to the mother like an image of an ejaculating penis.
"The police had raced to the classroom and confiscated the damning evidence: several copies of 'Moby-Dick.' What the teacher had drawn was a whale and its spout.
"Looking back, we can see that the only boobies involved in this case were the adults. But whenever we are in the midst of a moral panic, as we were in the 1980s, we feel that our alarm is reasonable and that punitive solutions are appropriate.
"Dicks? That child knew the word 'dicks'? Cancel sex ed! Run that teacher out of town!..."
– From "A
Very Model Moral Panic" by Carol Tavris in the Wall Street Journal (Aug.
Prosecutors misused bail to squeeze defendants
Aug. 16, 2015
"In 1689, the English Bill of Rights outlawed the widespread practice of keeping defendants in jail by setting deliberately unaffordable bail, declaring that 'excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed.' The same language was adopted word for word a century later in the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
"But as bail has evolved in America, it has become less and less a tool for keeping people out of jail, and more and more a trap door for those who cannot afford to pay it....
"Across the criminal-justice system, bail acts as a tool of compulsion, forcing people who would not otherwise plead guilty to do so...."
– From "The Bail Trap" by Nick Pinto in the New York Times (Aug. 13)
Could there be a more bare-faced example of "excessive bail" than that set for the Edenton Seven?
Bob Kelly, $1.5 million (later reduced to $200,000 – after his conviction was overturned – then $50,000 )
Betsy Kelly, $1.8 million (reduced to $400,000)
Scott Privott, $1 million (reduced to $50,000)
Shelley Stone, $375,000
Dawn Wilson, $880,000 (reduced to $200,000)
Robin Byrum, $500,000 (reduced to $200,000)
Darlene Harris, $350,000
Did prosecutors fear that the defendants would flee to Argentina? That they would prowl the town's playgrounds in search of new victims? No, these absurd amounts surely had no purpose but to coerce confessions. How shocked and disappointed they must have been that not one of the defendants, though crushed financially, succumbed.
The Little Rascals case in brief
In the beginning, in 1989, more than 90 children at the Little Rascals Day Care Center in Edenton, North Carolina, accused a total of 20 adults with 429 instances of sexual abuse over a three-year period. It may have all begun with one parent's complaint about punishment given her child.
Among the alleged perpetrators: the sheriff and mayor. But prosecutors would charge only Robin Byrum, Darlene Harris, Elizabeth "Betsy" Kelly, Robert "Bob" Kelly, Willard Scott Privott, Shelley Stone and Dawn Wilson – the Edenton 7.
Along with sodomy and beatings, allegations included a baby killed with a handgun, a child being hung upside down from a tree and being set on fire and countless other fantastic incidents involving spaceships, hot air balloons, pirate ships and trained sharks.
By the time prosecutors dropped the last charges in 1997, Little Rascals had become North Carolina's longest and most costly criminal trial. Prosecutors kept defendants jailed in hopes at least one would turn against their supposed co-conspirators. Remarkably, none did.
Another shameful record: Five defendants had to wait longer to face their accusers in court than anyone else in North Carolina history.
Between 1991 and 1997, Ofra Bikel produced three extraordinary episodes on the Little Rascals case for the PBS series "Frontline." Although "Innocence Lost" did not deter prosecutors, it exposed their tactics and fostered nationwide skepticism and dismay.
With each passing year, the absurdity of the Little Rascals charges has become more obvious. But no admission of error has ever come from prosecutors, police, interviewers or parents.
This site is devoted to the issues raised by this case.

Currency Wars: Europe Watches While Others Play by Different Rules
By FLOYD NORRIS
Published: January 9, 2004
PARIS— WHAT happens if the world won't let the dollar fall? That question may sound odd given the run of headlines about the plunging dollar, but the reality is that the dollar is still strong where it counts.
And that is bad news for Europe.
Since the end of 2001, the dollar is down 30.4 percent against the euro. But against a basket of currencies -- weighted by how much each country contributes to the American trade deficit -- it is down just 6.7 percent.
The reason is that not all countries play by the same rules. Only a few are willing to allow their currencies to trade freely. China, which has the largest trade surplus, $123 billion in the latest 12 months reported, fixes its currency value against the dollar. It has turned away suggestions by the United States that it change that policy.
Japan, which ranks No.2, with a trade surplus of $68 billion, spent about $200 billion last year trying to prop up the dollar, presumably slowing the yen's rise. The dollar is down 19 percent against the yen since the end of 2001.
The rise of the euro at first brought some joy to Europeans, who had been embarrassed by their new currency's initial slide. But now there is growing concern among companies and politicians that the euro will rise far enough to damage the nascent European recovery.
A cut in European interest rates might discourage capital from coming to Europe, and thus reduce the value of the euro or at least slow its ascent. It also might lift economic confidence in Europe, which has begun to sink again.
But the European Central Bank left rates unchanged yesterday, with Jean-Claude Trichet, its chairman, appearing more worried about European budget deficits than about the impact of the rising euro on European companies.
''Although recent exchange rate developments are likely to have some dampening effect on exports,'' he said, exports should continue to grow as the world economy recovers.
The euro slipped before the bank met, amid suggestions that Mr. Trichet might say something significant even if the bank did nothing. But he did not, and the euro rose back over $1.27.
In the United States, the Federal Reserve even seems to like China's refusal to let its currency appreciate.
''Looking at movements of the dollar against a single currency can be misleading about overall trends,'' said Ben S. Bernanke, a Fed governor, in a speech this week. ''Broader measures of dollar strength show somewhat less of a decline.'' The way he sees it, that makes American inflation less likely, and therefore gives the Fed less reason to be concerned or to raise its own rates.
For the dollar to hold steady, foreigners must be willing to buy enough American assets -- stocks, bonds, companies, real estate or whatever -- to offset the current account deficit, which is largely caused by the trade deficit. If they do not buy enough, then the dollar must fall.
In theory, a declining dollar would lead to higher import prices that would reduce demand and bring down the trade deficit. But the current reality is that with the dollar not being allowed to fall against the Chinese currency, the yuan, economic adjustment will require a bigger decline against other currencies, primarily the euro.
The question now is whether Europe will stand by and watch its own competitiveness erode while hoping that world growth will somehow solve all problems. Notwithstanding the Bush administration's empty ''strong dollar'' talk, there appears to be little likelihood of Washington's joining in a move to sell euros.
The ball is in the European Central Bank's court. Its inaction yesterday was no surprise, but it was regrettable.
Graph tracks change in dollar value (DEFICIT WEIGHTED INDEX and EURO) since Dec. 28, 2001.

The story is really interesting! Generally I listen to music while reading fanfics, but this time I paused the music just so I can let every word of you fanfic sink in :D Your writing is pretty good, too. Some of your characters are OOC, but that happens commonly in fanfictions. (But who am I to judge that? Even MY characters are OOC :P) I love how the plot is going, and I was really excited to see how will Lavi figure out Allen is his little brother. I was twitching in excitement xD It must of been a major shock for both parties XP Aw, but poor breakfast... It is burnt... xD I love how the ending turned out. SO PLEASE NOT MAKE THIS A ONE-SHOT AND UPDATE! ... 10 reviews has passed. Just sayin'.
BTW, if I review a story, that means I like it A LOT. This is so far my most favorite story out of the 200 fanfictions I've read. That's saying something.

This is such a great story! You have to update this and if you do, I'll love you forever. I love how you made Mana Lavi's dad too, it's weird, but I like it~ Anyway, please add another chapter!

Hahaha! I was laughing all the way 'cause I just KNEW their impending doom! Great fic, I absolutely loved it. I really can't give you any criticism 'cause right now I'm having trouble even breathing from my over-laughing-disorder which I just developed, like...2 minutes ago? When I started to read this...That is just so FUNNY! Though, it could be illegal, not the whole 'kissing your brother' thing. No, not that. The, 'you're gonna kill someone 'cause you're so damn hilarious' thing.
One second...I gotta breath.
Anyhoo! Great story! Absolutely splendid old bean!

Konnichi wa!
First, I congratulate you for the fic, seriously I stayed on "no mames O_O" as we say here in Mexico.
I wanted to ask permission to translate your fic in Spanish, as there are many fans to Laven who prefer to read fic's in Spanish.
If you give me your permission would be very very happy.
The truth was too difficult to read your fic because my English is not very good xD
Please let me know if you give me permission ...
Okay, I long Saiyonara xD! Attn: Nokku-chan.
| aoiyumekou48 chapter 1 . 10/28/2010
I'm a sucker for not adding it to my favorites and not reviewing to this. So I just read that "should I update it? idunno...euh...if i get 10 reviews telling me to, then i will" and it looks like I'm the 10th reviewer _ Lucky! Just like any person in the world says, "Please add another chapter! SOON!" Yep, I know your freaking tired of receiving reviews saying "Please continue." and such but yeah. Do I look like wining?
Anyways, great job. This looks interesting and I wonder what will happen to their fucked up brother-lover relationship (so now, I feel like using some bad words and such.. dunno O_O ). Will Mana caught them in the act or something? Just wondering, are they really brothers or the other one is adopted or something?
Oh! Almost forgot this but umm, could you please refrain from using such irritating lenghty paragraphs? I know I seemed somehow rude but it makes reading painful. You know what I mean? And since there are conversations in this fic, please don't include them in the paragraph. Thanks!

Star Letter: Ride it, don't hide it
By: Web Editor
Then in this month's issue Roy Poynting is telling us to not use our bikes in the winter. I thought The Classic MotorCycle was a magazine about riding motorcycles not sitting in the shed polishing them; they were made to be ridden.
As you see in my photograph taken this morning at work, my Velocette is used all winter for my commute to work (just what Velocette made it for), it doesn't get cleaned from October to March when it gets a full service so that my wife can use it in the summer. She moans that it's not fast enough and she has no mechanical sympathy at all.
As you can see it's been modernised to make it safer to use in the dark nights and modern traffic. It also has somewhere to put my sandwiches.
It's more likely the state of our crumbling roads that will slow down our use of prewar motorcycles in the end; Kathy's had both wheels off the ground after hitting a pothole on a bend, scary when it's somebody you love in front of you, good job she's on a Velo.

Tip of the Day: How To Make Speakerphone Calls Using Siri
By Paula Bostrom on Sat, 05/23/2015
I have several hours of commute time every week and I don't always have my phone's Bluetooth headset with me. If I want to make a call that means one hand holding the phone and only one hand on the wheel while going 70 miles per hour down the highway. Um, I mean 65 miles per hour, which is the legal speed limit in Colorado.

Massive Bamboo Dome Created Using Traditional Vietnamese Weaving
Architect Vo Trong Nghia created a 30 feet tall structure without the use of nails
Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia created a 30 ft tall bamboo structure, promoting the use of native building materials. The dome-like frame, covered in local bush plant on the outside, is built without the use of modern machinery. It does not contain a single nail as it fully relies on traditional Vietnamese weaving techniques.
Deemed a "bamboo virtuoso" for his outstanding buildings including a factory and the Bird Wing cultural center, the sustainable Water and Wind Cafe combines modern aesthetics with tradition.

John Ogdon (piano)
John Ogdon was born on 27th January, 1937 in Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire and died on 1st August, 1989 in London. His first serious study of the piano was at the Royal Manchester College of Music where his contemporaries were Alexander Goehr, Harrison Birtwistle and Peter Maxwell Davies; he also studied composition with Richard Hall, all of whom have music recorded in this collection. His prowess was noticed when he replaced an indisposed soloist in Brahms's Second Piano Concerto in Liverpool and played almost at sight. At the age of 21 he made his London debut at the Proms in 1958 with Busoni's Concerto (which he recorded in 1967).
In 1961 he was awarded the Liszt Prize in Budapest and the following year shared the coveted first prize at the Moscow Tchaikovsky competition with Vladimir Ashkenazy; this achievement launched his international career. His recordings from this time not only attest to his remarkable virtuosity and intense musicianship but also his determination to explore both rarer and modern repertoire and give them the performances that show them to their best advantage.
This collection therefore contains not merely the classics – concertos by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Schumann and Grieg and solos by Liszt and Chopin – but rarer concertos by Mendelssohn, Glazunov Bartók as well as the aforementioned Busoni. The major contribution to the catalogue of recorded music must be the solo piano works by the 20th century composers: Sir Michael Tippett, Alan Rawsthorne, Alun Hoddinott, Christopher Headington, David Blake, Robert Sherlaw Johnson and his teacher and colleagues from his days in Mancheser: Richard Hall and the previously mentioned Goehr, Birtwistle and Maxwell Davies as well as works by himself. One further work requires especial mention: Ronald Stevenson's Passacaglia on DSCH, the composer's tribute to Dmitri Shostakovich.
At over 85 minutes duration it has to be split across two CDs and the work together with Ogdon's support of it yielded the highest praise.

First International Release on CD of The 1973 Recordings
Vladimir Ashkenazy (piano)
The seventeen Études-tableaux date from the last decade of Rachmaninov's life in Russia. By this time he had completed Preludes in each of the major and minor keys and was ready to move in a slightly different direction. By qualifying the term with the word tableau, Rachmaninov seemed to be suggesting the introduction of a visual or even programmatic element into these complex 'studies'. Vladimir Ashkenazy recorded the Op. 33 set of Études-tableaux four years apart, taping Nos. 2, 3, 5 and 6 in September 1977 and Nos. 1, 4, 7 and 8 in April 1981. He recorded the Op. 39 set twice – first in February 1973 and then in June 1985 / September 1986. The 1985-86 recordings were released internationally on CD, and this is the first international release of the earlier 1973 recordings.
"Ashkenazy's Etudes-tableaux are outstanding. Includes the 1973 recording of Op. 39 which is broadly similar in conception to the more familiar digital remake." BBC Music Magazine, December 2012 *****

Many European countries have vied with one another in claiming the largest number of piano virtuosos. No one would dispute, though, that Russia has generated more than its share. The so-called 'Russian piano school', which originated in the 1800s with brilliant performers such as Alexander Siloti and brothers Anton and Nikolai Rubinstein, continues to produce first-class pianists, and to influence performance styles and keyboard virtuosity all around the world.
Given Russia's richness in superstar pianists, it is not surprising that Russian composers have composed extensively for the piano. Some of the composers represented in this collection were impressive pianists in their own right, and they composed music designed to display their own technique and artistry. Others were more modestly gifted as performers, but still composed idiomatically for the piano.
This collection brings together recordings by Vladimir Ashkenazy spanning some 40 years, from November 1963 (the three Rachmaninov Études-Tableaux) to March 2004 (the Kocsis transcription of Vocalise). Some of them appeared as fillers for bigger works – for instance, the Études-Tableaux were coupled with the 1964 recording of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 with Kyril Kondrashin, one of Ashkenazy's earliest recording for Decca, and his first solo recording for the label. Tchaikovsky's Dumka and the pieces by Taneyev, Liadov and Borodin were recorded in January 1983 and issued on LP as a coupling for his digital recording of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The two pieces from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet were taped in 1968 as couplings for the composer's Eighth Piano Sonata.
"This wide-ranging conspectus of Russian piano miniatures spans Ashkenazy's career from 1963 to 2004. Fine playing, occasionally short on charm." BBC Music Magazine, December 2012 ****

EMI Classics is pleased to release the latest instalment of highlights from the Martha Argerich Project at the Lugano Festival. This is the ninth annual 3-CD set celebrating the musical fruits of a project in which young artists join seasoned performers, including Martha Argerich herself, to explore wide-ranging chamber music and orchestral repertoire, both well known and rarely heard.
The CDs, recorded in the summer of 2011, are being released in anticipation of the Festival's 2012 season in June. As a chamber music event which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2011, this series has become a laboratory that gives guest artists a chance to prove themselves not only in well-known masterpieces but also in rarely performed repertoire.
This is the second instalment released in slim-line clamshell packaging, which better represents the prestige of this release and makes it of suitable size for newspaper/magazine promotions.
As in previous years, the piano stands at the centre of the programming,
This 3CD set welcomes back mainly familiar names from the previous Live from the Lugano Festival releases including pianists Lilya Zilberstein, Sergio Tiempo and Polina Leschenko as well as Virgin Classics' inimitable violin- and cello-soloist brothers, Renaud and Gautier Capuçon and violinists Lucia Hall and Lida Chen.
Few artists have nurtured and promoted emerging young musicians with the level of personal commitment shown by Martha Argerich. In the process, she has created inspired and inspirational chamber music partnerships mixing established and up-and-coming artists. A legend in her own lifetime for her technical mastery and passionate artistry, Argerich possesses an infectious spirit that has fired her own performances and partnerships as well as those of her colleagues and protégés.
"a sense of the musicians' infectious enjoyment, even when their musicality is of the most serious kind, emanates from this entire programme. Argerich's presence and ever-youthful spirit conspire to inspire performances of untold pleasure." The Telegraph, 17th May 2012
"This 2011 instalment is exceptionally interesting, with rarities including the big-boned, folksy piano quintet by the Polish composer Juliusz Zarębski...The highlight is an absolutely titanic account of Liszt's flamboyant Concerto pathétique with Lilya Zilberstein: breathtaking." The Observer, 3rd June 2012
"The Liszt Concerto pathetique...is the best thing on these discs, responding well to the typically wild, dramatic Martha Argerich treatment. Elsewhere in these recitals...she communicates to both audience and her fellow artists an abundance of energy that is, sadly, not always well directed." BBC Music Magazine, August 2012 ***
"These may or may not be likely to become library choices for this repertoire but to invite comparisons is hardly the point: what is palpable in these Lugano CD grab-bags is the festival atmosphere and the intensity of chamber music-making at such a high level." Gramophone Magazine, October 2012

"In the outside world, we actively monitor these leaf and ecosystem level responses to environmental stress, but to truly test the spectrum of responses, sometimes you need more control than nature affords you," Barron-Gafford said.
He said that encroachment of woody plants onto former grasslands exposes the area's semi-arid landscape to a higher risk of irreversible desertification.
"If a fire runs through and burns the thick grass cover that stabilizes the soil, you end up with areas consisting mostly of dirt with mesquite and creosote bushes. The big dust storms in certain parts of Arizona are visual proof how vulnerable that type of landscape is to erosion."
Filling gaps in knowledge about what climate predictions mean for plants and animals in the region and making them accessible to land management officials is an important goal of Barron-Gafford's research. "Our great historical knowledge is not enough given future climate change scenarios and we need biological data in addition to climate data to make accurate predictions."
