Emmy Rossum in Black Orchid
Emmy Rossum seemed to be enjoying a popsicle (or ice lolly if you are English) on the set of her show Shameless in California a few days ago. I love popsicles, they are always so refreshing when it's hot outside!
Emmy wore a pair of Black Star cut-off shorts in Dust Devil from Black Orchid with black boots and a checked shirt. I think the Dust Devil wash is probably the most popular one from Black Orchid and it's the nicest one they do. Buy Black Orchid online at BlueHeavenBoutique.com.

Antonio Banderas in PRPS
I think this is our second sighting of Antonio Banderas on DenimBlog! We haven't blogged about him since 2009 when he wore a white pair of True Religion jeans. This time he opted for a classic pair of PRPS jeans while he was shopping with his wife, Melanie Griffith, in Andalusia, Spain.
I'm glad Antonio ditched those white True Religion jeans and turned to PRPS. I really like the way PRPS look on the guys, the washes are authentic looking and vintage while the fits are nice. I actually really love this pair Antonio has on. I wonder if he can actually give Melanie those huge cute eyes like his character Puss in Boots in Shrek? Ha ha, it would be a great way to get what he wants!

Julianne Hough in Tommy Hilfiger
Back in May, the paps caught Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta on set while filming Rock of Ages in Florida. They both shared a kiss while filming the scenes and were rollerblading.
Julianne wore a pair of Tommy Hilfiger denim shorts with a yellow cropped top. I actually think these shorts are a really good fit on her. I know a lot of you don't like the mum jeans style denim shorts but I think these are a better choice for them.

Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour, with great histological variability and unpredictable clinical and biological behaviour. The precise cell type origin is uncertain. One third of haemangiopericytomas occur in the head and neck area, but only a few cases have been reported regarding localization at the parapharyngeal space. Herewith, case is presented of a 54-year-old female, referred to our Department due to a parapharyngeal space tumour with non-specific imaging characteristics. The patient underwent radical excision of the tumour with a trans-cervical sub-mandibular approach. The histolopathologic examination revealed a neoplasm with the characteristic features of haemangiopericytoma. One year later, during the scheduled follow-up, the computerized tomography scan showed no evidence of recurrence or residual disease. The pre-operative evaluation of a haemangiopericytoma must include a thorough imaging evaluation with computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, even if results may not be specific for haemangiopericytoma. Angiography and pre-operative embolization may be performed in cases of large tumours with significant vascularity. The treatment of choice is radical excision. The follow-up includes clinical evaluation every 6 months and annual magnetic resonance imaging for at least 3 years.
L'emangiopericitoma è un raro tumore delle parti molli di origine cellulare incerta, con alta variabilità istologica ed un comportamento clinico e biologico imprevedibile. Solamente un terzo dei casi esordisce nella regione cervico-facciale, mentre solo pochi casi sono stati riportati per quanto riguarda la localizzazione nello spazio parafaringeo. Presentiamo il caso di una paziente di 54 anni che è stata riferita al nostro Dipartimento con un tumore vascolare dello spazio parafaringeo di dimensioni 3,5 × 2,8 × 3 cm. Le caratteristiche fornite dalla diagnostica per immagini del tumore non erano specifiche. La paziente è stata sottoposta alla completa e radicale escissione del tumore tramite un approccio transcervicale-sottomandibolare. L'esame istopatologico ha rivelato una neoplasia con le caratteristiche dell'emangiopericitoma. Un anno dopo l'intervento, il follow-up effettuato con tomografia computerizzata ha dimostrato l'assenza di malattia ricorrente o residua. La valutazione preoperatoria dell'emangiopericitoma deve includere una dettagliata valutazione con diagnostica per immagini (tomografia computerizzata e risonanza magnetica), anche se i risultati possono non essere specifici. L'angiografia e l'embolizzazione preoperatoria possono essere eseguiti in casi di grossi tumori altamente vascolari. Il trattamento di elezione è l'asportazione radicale. Il follow-up comprende una valutazione clinica ogni 6 mesi e l'esecuzione di una risonanza magnetica annuale almeno per 3 anni.
Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare soft tissue tumour, which was first described, in 1942, by Stout and Murray 1 2 and was thought to originate from the pericyte, a specific cell type which surrounds the capillary vessels. However, the variable immunohistochemical profile of this tumour and its overlapping features with solitary fibrous tumours, created the belief that these two tumours are the two ends of one process, the origin of which is still unclear, according to WHO endorsement. Despite the dispute, some investigators believe that HPCs arise from pluri-potential peri-vascular cells 3. Approximately one-third of all HPCs occur in the head and neck 4 and, according to the literature, only a few cases of HPCs, in the parapharyngeal space, have been described 5 6. HPCs are classified as benign, borderline, and malignant, depending on their histopathologic (mitotic activity, cellularity, and nuclear atypia) and clinical features (necrosis and tumour size) 7 8. However, histo-pathological distinction between benign and malignant HPCs may be difficult. Furthermore, the biological behaviour of these neoplasms is rather peculiar, as benign-looking, non-mitotic HPCs have been reported to metastasize. Given the high variability and the unpredictable pattern of the clinical and biological behaviour of HPCs, the treatment of choice is radical surgical excision.
A 54-year-old female was referred to our Department from a Hospital of a neighbouring country with the diagnosis of a para-pharyngeal space tumour. The presence of the tumour had been detected 2 years previously in a CT scan, during the investigation of chronic headaches from which the patient suffered. It was located at the para-pharyngeal space and, according to the patient, the tumour had grown in size during the last 2 years. Six months before the patient's admission to our Department, an incisional biopsy was attempted, in a hospital, in her country, but the operation was not completed due to severe bleeding.
The clinical examination revealed a neck mass behind the angle of the left mandible, which caused significant displacement of the soft palate and the left tonsillar and peritonsillar region towards the midline. Upon palpation, the mass was fixed, soft, painless and non pulsatile. Except for a retracting scar, at the site of the attempted biopsy, the rest of the clinical examination was normal.
The MRI revealed an ovoid, well-defined tumour in the left parapharyngeal space 3.5 × 2.8 × 3 cm in size, which compressed and narrowed the oropharyngeal opening. The tumour showed low signal intensity, on T1 sequences, mild dyshomogeneous hyperintensity on T2 sequences, inhomogenous low diffusivity, on diffusion weighted images (Fig. 1), as well as intense enhancement after intravenous Gadolinium administration (Fig. 2). The mass also compressed the adjacent pterygoid muscles, but no evidence of an anatomic relationship with the major vascular branches of the neck was detected.
The imaging characteristics of the tumour were non-specific. The differential diagnosis included highly vascularized parapharyngeal space masses, like mesenchymal tumours (angiosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma) or neurinogen tumours.
After a thorough pre-operative evaluation, the patient underwent complete excision of the tumour, via a transcervical- submandibular approach. A lateral neck incision was made just medially to the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which was extended to the level of the left parotid gland. Then, an anterior dislocation of the mandible through stylo-mandibular tenotomy was performed, in order to provide sufficient exposure and ensure an adequate surgical field and the mass was removed to the level of the pharyngeal musculature. Particular concern was focused on the site of the attempted biopsy, as the post-traumatic fibrosis and adhesions made the excision particularly difficult. After haemostasis, a Penrose drainage was placed and suture closure was performed.
The post-operative recovery was uneventful and the Penrose drainage was removed on the 2nd post-operative day. The patient was finally dismissed on the 4th post-operative day.
The histolopathologic examination revealed a neoplasm with the histolopathological and immunohistochemical features of HPC, consisting of spindle and ovoid cells with mild nuclear atypia and low mitotic rate (up to 1 mitosis/ 10 H PF). The neoplastic cells showed extensive reactivity for CD34 and bcl2 and they were negative for SMA, S100, chromogranin and synaptophicine (Figs. 3, ,4).4). As the tumour was removed in pieces, due to the presence of adhesions and particular friability of the mass, evaluation of the surgical margins was not possible.
One year later, during scheduled follow-up, the CT scan showed no evidence of recurrence or residual disease (Fig. 5).
A wide variety of benign and malignant tumours can occur in the parapharyngeal space. The management of a patient with such a tumour, represents a challenge for the Head and Neck Surgeon.
HPC is a neoplasm of uncertain cell type origin. It is an uncommon spindle cell tumour, constituting 2.5% of soft tissue neoplasms and occurs primarily in adult life (median age 45 yrs, with peak prevalence in the sixth to seventh decade of life), appearing with an equal sex distribution 9-11. It is frequently aggressive and has a tendency to recur and metastasize. Approximately one-third of all HPCs occur in the head and neck. Primary parapharyngeal space HPCs are very rare neoplasms and, according to the international literature, only a few cases have been reported, with some of them referring to tumours that invade the parapharyngeal space from other sites of the head and the neck 12.
A painless mass is the most common presentation of head and neck HPCs. The clinical behaviour varies depending on the different grading of each case. The diagnosis cannot be made on the basis of clinical and gross morphologic characteristics. Definitive diagnosis of HPC is provided by the accurate histopathologic assessment, which determines the accurate management and prognosis 13. The prediction of the clinical behaviour of HPC is not always clear and does not always correlate with the histolopathologic features of the tumour. Strict universal histopathologic criteria, for malignancy, have not been identified and vary between different studies. Generally, large size (> 5 cm), increased mitotic rate (> 4 mitosis/10 H PF), with the presence of atypical mitosis, high cellularity, pleomorphic tumour cells and foci of haemorrhage and necrosis predict a highly malignant course 8 13.
The correct pre-operative imaging evaluation of HPCs is of great importance for scheduling the surgical plan. The tumour usually appears as a solid mass, hypodense on CT and isointense on T1-weighted images on MRI. On T2- weighted images, the tumour shows equal or lower signal intensity compared with the surrounding structures, although, in some cases, hyperintense signals have been described 14. Due to better contrast resolution, MRI is superior compared to CT in demonstrating the morphological characteristics of these tumours, as well as their extension to the contiguous anatomical structures, especially at the base of the skull. In these highly vascularized tumours, vessels could also be seen as signal voids, on MRI, but not on CT. Although MRI is essential for accurate surgical planning and should be referred as the "gold standard", the imaging characteristics of the HPCs may be non-specific, demanding a differential diagnosis from other types of vascular or non-vascular tumours, especially those with prominent vascularization, such as juvenile haemangioma, glomus tumour, angiosarcoma, leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma, schwannoma, mesothelioma, liposarcoma, benign and malignant histiocytoma, synovial sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, neuroblastoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and mixed cell tumour 15 16.
Conventional angiography may be helpful for pre-operative differential diagnosis and is useful for the possibility of pre-operative embolization 5 17, which has been suggested as an option for decreasing tumour vascularity and size. Moreover, some Authors use routine angiography and peri-operative embolization in order to reduce intra-operative haemorrhage 18. In our patient, there was no need for such a procedure due to the small size of the tumour.
Although histopathology of HPCs has been well documented, fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) findings have rarely been described in the literature 19-21. A primary diagnosis of HPC is difficult to make with the use of FNAB. Cytologic analysis may allow the diagnosis of a recurrent or metastatic HPC 20.
In our Department, we do not advise incisional biopsy for tumours with considerable vascularity, due to the fear of bleeding and consequent fibrosis. Furthermore, we do not use FNAB because, these tumours will eventually be treated surgically, regardless of the pre-operative cytologic findings. FNAB may be particularly helpful in cases in which the suspicion of harbouring a malignancy is high.
The treatment of choice is radical excision of the HPC with a sufficient cuff of healthy tissue. Unfortunately, this is not always possible for para-pharyneal space tumours, making the need of adequate exposure mandatory, which is accomplished by stylo-mandibular tenotomy.
Adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be employed, although the literature is not quite clear about their results. HPCs are considered to be relatively resistant to radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is reserved only as adjuvant therapy in cases of incompletely excised lesions, recurrent tumours, and tumours with high-grade histopathologic features. Although chemotherapy may have a role in the treatment of distant metastatic disease, its role in the primary treatment remains to be clearly defined. Vincristine, Adriamycin, and Cyclophosphamide have all been used with variable success in cases of aggressive HPCs (8Y10). Some additional reports show that the use of interferon may be of benefit in patients with pulmonary HPC metastases 22.
HPC appears to present a survival rate that may vary from an overall 10-year rate of 70% 8 to a considerably reduced 10-year survival rate in cases of > 4 mitosis/10 H PF (9%) or necrosis (29%) or tumour size > 6.5 cm (63%) 9. Some studies report local recurrence rates as high as 40%, with metastatic disease in 15% of the cases 23 reported to have a latency period which varies from 63 to 107 months 24.
No clear consensus, regarding the follow-up planning, seems to exist. In our case, we propose clinical evaluation every 6 months and an annual imaging study for at least 3 years. In our case, the patient performed a CT scan 1 year after the operation with no evidence of recurrence or residual disease
Haemangiopericytoma is a rare soft tissue tumour of uncertain cell type origin, with high histological variability and unpredictable clinical and biological behaviour. One third of HPCs occur in the head and the neck and only a few cases have been reported regarding localization in the parapharyngeal space.
Pre-operative evaluation must include a thorough imaging evaluation (CT and MRI scan), even if the results may not be specific for haemangiopericytoma. Angiography and pre-operative embolization may be performed in large tumours with significant vascularity, in order to decrease the size and vascularity of the tumour.
The treatment of choice is radical excision, and the follow- up we propose includes clinical evaluation every 6 months and an annual MRI for at least 3 years. Incisional biopsy and pre-operative FNAB is not routinely used in our Department, due to the high incidence of bleeding and fibrosis and because, regardless of the histo-pathological pattern, total excision will eventually be performed. FNAB is advised when high suspicion of malignancy exists.

Pair arrested in chase that injured 4, closed freeway
ANAHEIM – Police have arrested a man and a woman suspected of leading officers on a freeway pursuit that ended with a crash that injured four people and forced the closure of the southbound I-5 for about eight hours.
Ricardo Perez, 28, and Andrea Shanelle Brandon, 18, both of Anaheim, have been booked into jail on suspicion of possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property and felony evasion, Anaheim police Sgt. Bob Dunn said.
Officers tipped that a white Ford F-250 would be near South Sunkist Street and East Wagner Avenue saw the vehicle about 4 p.m. Friday, Dunn said. The driver of the pickup, who police later identified as Perez, reportedly refused to stop, leading to a high-speed pursuit on the 57 and 5 freeways.
The chase ended about 16 minutes later on the southbound I-5 at Camino de Estrella, where the pickup collided with a Kia Optima, struck a divider, then flipped and rolled several times.
Perez, who was thrown from the vehicle during the crash, was taken to a hospital in critical condition. He was arrested after being released from the hospital Monday, Dunn said.
Brandon and another occupant of the pickup were taken to a hospital with lesser injuries.
Brandon was arrested after her release from the hospital Friday night, Dunn said. The third occupant of the pickup, who authorities identified only as an adult male, was not arrested.
The driver of the Optima with was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The southbound lanes of the I-5 were closed for eight hours after the crash, leading to significant delays during the commute hours a day after the Thanksgiving holiday and angering many motorists.
CHP officials Sunday said the closure was needed to allow investigators from outside the area to be called in to preserve evidence that could be used to prosecute the driver of the pickup or defend the agency against litigation.

This game is a load of fun!
Awesome Features
Randomly Generated Guns:
Basically there are the 8 basic types of weapons (pistols, SMG, revolvers, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and alien weapons) and 5 or so randomly chosen parts on each weapon. This is GREAT because each configuration adds to the weapon visually and in purpose e.g. not having a buttstock on an assault rifle causes the accuracy to go down.
RPG Style Skill Trees:
With each of the four classes you get 3 branches in their skill tree. It is very similar to MMORPGS like WOW where you can spec your characters to play certain ways. My first play-through I chose the berserker character who I am specing to basically be an all melee character. This shows the unique flexibility of the gameplay, there isn't another FPS game out there where you can play as a melee class and be more effective than someone with a gun.
Awesome Reasons to Buy
Borderlands is a fully cell shaded game with plenty of humor and baddassness to satisfy the core as well as casual. It is very lowbrow and violent though so if you are easily offended by toilet humor and foul language and get sick when enemies chunk you may not like the game. If not, then you'll love it. The arcade/MMO style visual queues add a lot to the game play too.

And as for you alleged feet afficionadoes who think her feet are better than bad, have a very close look at this pic. Now let me klnow if you hold the same opinion?
I have always argued even bad feet can be made to look good in certain footwear, which is why feet should only be judged bare or in havaianas - and here is Exhibit #1 for the Prosecution (gamoto!)

2014-07-20 19:18:38Her feet are absolutely fine and no hammer. If she had hammer toes that would be evident in any of the many flip flop shots we have of her. Instead they all show perfectly normal toes. The shot you object to is simply showing her momentarily off balance. Everyone's toes do that. You need to judge after looking at more than one photo.

Thanks, my friend, appreciate the kind vibes. It was actually a comedic callback to a flame at me from someone on @Pamela_Anderson's wall, if you didn't see that. Doubt much of what ensued survived! LOL. Basically someone had an issue with my syntax & suggested I needed Grammar School. I could've listed my qualifications & awards in that arena, but considering the source, why bother?

I have an sql server 2008 db table that holds links to articles. My app routine is that every ~1-10 seconds i get a list of 10-100 new articles that contain a url, and what i need to do is check every article's url and if it doesn't exist on the db i will add it.
How i do it know : first thing - i made a unique index for the url so no matter what - i won't have the same url more than once (of course i normalize the url e.g cut it's 'http://www.' prefix etc before i insert it).
the 'InsertArticles' method is something like this:
- Open a transaction
- for each link - check (using the transaction) if its url exists in the db
- for each unexisting link - add the link (of course,using the same transaction)
- execute and close the transaction + handle transaction/general exceptions
the thing is - most of the time it works very fast (0.05-0.2 secs) for about 10-20 or so links.. but sometimes it gets much slower - it can even take 50 secs to call this method with 50 articles.
So 2 questions here -
- is what I do ok ? should i use transactions for this kind of a job?
- what alternatives do i have ? maybe insert if not exists ?
i was also thinking - why not just 'brute insert' the new articles to the db - meaning, i will try to insert all the input url's to the db and I will let sql server throw an exception for those urls that already exist there..
Maybe using a stored proceude to do all of this can enhance perfomance ?
anyway any help would be appreciated.

Confessions of a Dope Dealerby Sheldon Norberg
View All Available Formats & Editions
Confessions of a Dope Dealer is a fictionalized account of my life and career as a professional dope dealer, following my introduction to drugs as a youngster through my dealings in high school,/i>
Sheldon Norberg's fictionalized autobiography; an insiders view of American drug culture and the changes in use, attitudes, and society from the '70s to the '90s.
Confessions of a Dope Dealer is a fictionalized account of my life and career as a professional dope dealer, following my introduction to drugs as a youngster through my dealings in high school, at UCLA, in Berkeley, Humboldt County and on tour with the Grateful Dead. It was my intention upon writing it to finally tell the truth about the underground activities that are only seen through the ridiculous distortion filter of the media. With a topic as far reaching as drug use in America, I felt that it was finally time to stop lying. It seems to me that a vast number of Americans have used drugs over the past thirty years, yet it's still somehow secret, as if speaking about it were cause for prosecution. For a career professional, such as myself, it was. That fact was probably more detrimental to my psyche than the effect of all the drugs I took. Probably.
While a cautionary tale, Confessions of a Dope Dealer is not a "just say no" story. Certainly, it deals with the problems drugs are maligned for, but despite the psychological damage that I admit to, I recognize that drugs themselves are not the cause of the drug problem. They're just one of the many ways we're trained to ignore our inner spirituality and base our lives on some numbing agent. The main focus of my book is about waking up to oneself, or, how difficult waking up may be when drugs become the sole mode of inner exploration. Confessions of a Dope Dealer does nothing to promote the media stereotype of the burnt-out stoner, drug using low-achiever, or morally bankrupt pervert. I have always been a fairly respected intellect, as have my friends, and my use from high school through adulthood was mostly with groups of intellectually above average, freedom loving Americans. I happened to have lived through a time that saw the rise of the marijuana industry to an empire, as well as the surge of cocaine, the beginning of freebase, and the onslaught of heroin in young, upper middle class society. Although I had little affiliation with powders, (dumb drugs) I was deep enough inside the psychedelic scene to watch that degrade, in confluence with The Grateful Dead, into a criminal enterprise. Criminal not in the legal sense, but morally shameful.
I held high ideals for drug use throughout my career, and still do, but while I'm clear about their spiritual potentials, I also recognize the dangers that lie beneath the surface. I wanted Confessions of a Dope Dealer to be more than my reminiscence of a stoned era, I wanted it to make a statement, about our times, our challenges, and our possibilities for healing. The times and challenges explained themselves within the journalistic format I began with, and my concurrent dialogue on Chinese Medicine created a formal structure that subtly foretold the damage I was doing to myself, and pointed toward healing awareness through an established medical model. Writing it has been something of an undertaking, but the story demanded to be told.
About the Author
Sheldon Norberg doesn't have a Ph.D., but he's acquired quite an education. From high school into his 30's, Sheldon was respected throughout California as a weed dealer and grower, as well as a force in psychedelic partying. Sheldon's years of clairvoyant study and degree in Psycho-Spiritual Healing have been essential in this literary unmasking.

Barack Obama, America's Selective Salary Policeman
Barack Obama, America's Selective Salary Policeman
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2010
President Obama spoke the most revealing and clarifying 10 words of his control-freak administration this week: "I think at some point you have made enough money." Peddling financial regulatory reform at a rally in Quincy, Ill., Obama then ad-libbed peculiar definitions of what he called the "American way" and the profit motive: "(Y)ou can just keep on making it if you're providing a good product or providing good service. We don't want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy."
Fundamental lesson of Capitalism 101: Governments and bureaucrats don't make what people want and need. They only get in the way. It is individuals, cooperating peacefully and voluntarily, working together without mandate or central design, who produce the world's goods and services. They make what people desire and demand for themselves, not what Obama and his imperial overlords ordain that the masses should have.
As usual, Obama's populist demagoguery is telling in its omissions and selectivity. While he lectures on the morality of salary caps for everyone else, his own cabinet is filled with fabulously wealthy CEOs and statist creatures who have parlayed government employment (a "good" service) into private gain as lobbyists, consultants and advisers ("core responsibilities of the financial system") and then back again to public stints. Revolving doors have always grown the Beltway economy.
To wit: Austan Goolsbee, head of Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, is the 15th wealthiest member of the Obama administration, with assets valued at between $1,146,000 to $2,715,000. He also pulled in a University of Chicago salary of $465,000 and additional wages and honoraria worth $93,000, according to the Washingtonian magazine.
What "good" did he provide? The government research fellow and Obama campaign adviser was a champion of extending credit to the un-creditworthy. In a 2007 op-ed for The New York Times, he derided those who called subprime mortgages "irresponsible." He preferred to describe them as "innovations in the mortgage market" to expand the pool of homebuyers. Now this wrong-headed academic who espoused government policies that fed the housing feeding frenzy is in charge of fixing the loose-credit mess he advocated. This is the "American way"?
After 16 years in Congress, four years in the Clinton administration as budget director and chief of staff, and a lifetime of schmoozing in the halls of power, Obama's CIA director, Leon Panetta, cashed in big. He's sitting on up to $4 million in assets. While he has zero experience in intelligence matters, he has extensive experience in parlaying his past political tours of duty into lucrative speaking gigs, consulting fees and stock options. Welcome to Obama-approved entrepreneurship.
By Obama's definition, first lady Michelle Obama is a model capitalist. Remember: After serving with real estate mogul Valerie Jarrett in Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's administration, Mrs. Obama took a post at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where Jarrett was serving as vice-chair of the medical center's board of trustees. Mrs. Obama was promoted in 2005 after her husband won his U.S. Senate race with Jarrett's invaluable aid. As "vice president for community and external affairs" and head of the "business diversity program," her annual compensation nearly tripled from $122,000 in 2004 to $317,000 in 2005. Even after she went on leave in 2007 to help her husband on the presidential campaign trail, the hospital paid Mrs. Obama $62,709 in 2008, prompting one skeptic to ask: "We know this is Chicago, but isn't $63,000 quite a lot for a no-show job?"
Jarrett, of course, is now White House senior adviser to the chief spender of other people's money. And the first lady is now using her new taxpayer-funded position not only to tell folks how they should eat, but also which "good" restaurants and groceries should be built in their neighborhoods.
If there were any doubts left about the Obamas' ideological commitment to wealth redistribution and a command-and-control economy, those doubts have been thoroughly removed. We have a commander-in-chief who presumes to know when you have earned "enough," who believes that only those who provide what he deems "good" products and services should "keep on making it," and who has determined that the role of American entrepreneurs is not to pursue their own self-interest, but to fulfill their "core" responsibility as dutiful growers of the collective economy.
That famous mock-up poster of Obama as the creepy socialist Joker never seemed more apt.
I love Scott Johnson's succinct rejoinder at Power Line: "At some point you have grabbed enough power."

After a tense night filled with stops and starts, lawyers helping to win reporter Jason Rezaian's release from an Iranian prison learned Sunday that their year-and-a-half- long effort had finally come to an end.
The Washington Post correspondent, who had been imprisoned for 544 days, was released along with four other Americans in a prisoner exchange involving seven Iranians held in the U.S. The deal unfolded amid easing diplomatic relations between the two countries, as the U.S. determined that Iran held up its end of a nuclear deal and lifted economic sanctions against the country.
The exchange was nearly halted at the last minute, however, when Rezaian's wife and mother, who were both in Iran, were kept from the Swiss plane that was set to transport the Americans to Europe on Saturday.
"That was a harrowing 12-hour period," said Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr partner David Bowker, one of Rezaian's lead U.S. lawyers. The Washington Post hired Bowker and a Wilmer team led by senior counsel Robert Kimmitt to help free Rezaian in July 2014, shortly after the Tehran-based correspondent and his wife were arrested.
Wilmer's Kimmitt, co-chair of the firm's strategic response group and a former U.S. ambassador to Germany, represented The Washington Post in a similar matter in 2009, when the newspaper owned Newsweek. At that time, Kimmitt worked on the case of Maziar Bahari, a Newsweek reporter who was detained in Iran and whose story inspired the Jon Stewart film "Rosewater."
Bowker said the eleventh-hour crisis involving Rezaian's family members threatened to derail the delicate prisoner swap. "We just had really grave concerns that they were going to make Jason decide whether to leave without them," he said. But in the end, according to The Washington Post, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry interceded with Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, and Rezaian's wife and mother were allowed to board the plane.
By Tuesday, Rezaian was in Germany seeking medical care. Americans Saheed Abedini, a Christian pastor, former U.S. Marine sergeant Amir Hekmati, Matthew Trevithick and Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari were also released in the exchange.
For Wilmer and other American law firms working for those held in the U.S. and Iran, the weekend's events marked the culmination of a sustained effort. For Wilmer, it entailed a global public relations, lobbying and legal campaign that reached close to 40 foreign governments and international organizations, including the United Nations.
Bowker said the Wilmer team had to balance its efforts to keep Rezaian in the public eye with a fear that he could be punished by Iranian officials for the attention he received.
"We had well-founded concerns that there could be retaliation for our efforts, so we had to be sure to always be thinking about Jason's health and safety and not do anything that put him in further jeopardy," Bowker said. At the same time, the lawyers held press conferences and lobbied Congress and foreign officials to "show that we were not going away until he was free," Bowker said.
The firm also filed a petition for Rezaian's release with the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which was presented before the Human Rights Council in Geneva. Bowker said that in response, the U.N. group granted the petition and notified Iran that Rezaian's fundamental human rights had been violated under international law.
Bowker said he was grateful to staff at the U.N. who worked on the case.
"Those institutions and individuals gave us a legal platform and venue to advance the case and to highlight for the world the rule of law issues and the legal violations that Iran had caused Jason to suffer," he said. "The Iranians take that U.N. venue quite seriously."
Rezaian was represented in Iran by Leila Ahsan, who was given limited access to her client, according to testimony presented to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs by Rezaian's bother, Ali Rezaian.
Rezaian's counsel weren't the only U.S. lawyers celebrating the prisoner exchange on Sunday.
Quinn, Emanuel, Urquhart & Sullivan partner David Gerger was notified by the Justice Department that his client Khosrow Afghahi would be involved in a prisoner swap. Gerger said he went to the jail at 5 a.m. Saturday morning, but it took 23 hours before Afghahi was freed along with six other Iranians as part of the weekend's deal. Afghahi had faced charges of violating the Iranian embargo in the Southern District of Texas.
"Right now he is spending precious time with his family," Gerger said of his client, who has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Iran. "He is a 72-year-old businessman who has never been in trouble. This was a very difficult ordeal, and we are happy to put it behind him."
Joel Androphy, name partner at Berg & Androphy, represented released Iranian prisoner Bahram Mechanic, who was also charged in Texas for violating the embargo. Androphy said once he learned Friday that Mechanic had been pardoned by President Barak Obama, he knew it was only was a matter of time before he'd be released.
"He was innocent from day one," Androphy said of Mechanic. Androphy had been pursuing a visa to go to Iran to obtain documentation that Mechanic was blacklisted by the Iranian government, hoping that would prove he could not have been an agent of Iran, the lawyer said. Though the case is finished, Androphy said he still hopes to travel to Iran as a tourist.
Nader Modanlo, another released Iranian prisoner, was also pardoned after being charged with violating the Iranian embargo. Modanlo was represented by Mayer Brown partner Daniel Himmelfarb.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Shortly after Elizabeth I addresses a deputation from Parliament to end once and for all the issue of a royal marriage in Harper's entertaining eighth historical (after 2005's The Fyre Mirror), the queen's herb mistress reports the discovery of the body of her majesty's favorite starcher—in a vat of starch. (The fashion for large, stiff ruffs has made starch a precious commodity.) When the daughter of the queen's financial adviser is reported missing and later found in shock, Elizabeth goes undercover into the streets of London to seek answers. As the number of murder victims grows along with the list of suspects, Elizabeth has to wonder if she herself will become the killer's next target. As ever, Harper skillfully interweaves fact and fiction, presenting a heroine who is as intelligent and gutsy a crime solver as she was a real-life monarch. Readers will never again look at pictures of the Virgin Queen in her elaborate ruffs in quite the same way. (Jan.)

From Booklist
This is the eighth volume in Harper's popular series of mystery novels featuring Queen Elizabeth I of England as--yes--a sleuth investigating mayhem and murder in her beloved kingdom. The new fashion trend of heavily starched ruffs, those fancy, even outlandish (to modern eyes) collars that European men and women are seen wearing in paintings of days long ago, has set off keen competition among starching "houses" for the queen's patronage. Competition to the point of motivating murder, that is. As Her Majesty is wont to do (at least as Harper has her do, in these delightful novels), as if she didn't have enough on her plate with running the ship of state in particularly perilous times, she embroils herself in the crime's solution. And as always in these novels, the pattern of murder at hand seems to be leading in its inevitable conclusion to the murder of the queen herself. Historical-mystery lovers, and Harper's fans in particular, should rejoice at this latest installment. Brad Hooper

I'm very glad I invested both the time and the money in this one. In addition to outlining the atmosphere of Elizabethan England through a lot of great description that moves along, Harper provides readers with a great "whodunit," to the point that no one is sure who killed the starcher and laundress until very near the end. And like a good "whodunit," she makes the motive work.
Her characterizations are terrific as well -- Harper brings Elizabeth I across as a feisty, "never say die," compassionate figure, one is deserving of the crown of England and the loyalty of her subjects.
The only problem I had with this book is that it strained my imagination to think that a Queen with the responsibilities of Elizabeth I had time to run around and solve mysteries while the country ran itself (this was the time before English royalty was largely ceremonial -- kings and queens actually made life and death decisions about their subjects).
Yet Harper manages to make it work.
In short, Harper does what authors are supposed to do -- to take care of their readers by introducing likeable characters.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy and read her other books.
Amy Wolff Sorter, author, Servant of the Gods
As in the previous novels in the series, the peace of Elizabeth's kingdom is threatened by murder most foul. Harper does a nice job of juxtaposing the murder mystery with Elizabeth's fears of a northern uprising and the queen's constant worries over exactly how much of a threat Mary, Queen of Scots posed. I think this nicely shows how Elizabeth was concerned not only with the political in that she frets about the well-being of her country as a whole but also the personal in that she takes such an interest in her subjects.
Harper's other strength are her secondary characters. Those who have read the series have likely come to feel like Meg, Jenks, and Ned are friends and it is always welcome to read about the characters triumphs and to worry about their misfortunes. I felt the same sense of urgency Elizabeth felt when one of her favorites was placed in a position of grave danger.
As for the mystery itself, it is well-plotted and it is always intriguing to see how Harper uses period details to create innovative methods of executing a crime. This book's victim meets her end in the very vat in which she starches the highly fashionable ruffs that are helping her to earn her fortune. This is characteristic of Harper's writing in that the ends that the unfortunate victims meet provide a peek into the clever and diabolical minds of their killers.
Also admirable is the deft way in which Harper weaves the romances of secondary characters skillfully into the narrative to serve as emphasis of the lonely position that Elizabeth has chosen for herself. I've certainly always understood that Elizabeth's defiance when it came to the subject of marriage was certainly a political risk but it was Harper who made me begin to think of what a personal risk it must have been.

Woman Who Stabbed Husband 200 Times May Get New Punishment Hearing, This Time Without A Dramatic Re-Enactment
Photo courtesy Marshall Wice
Susan Wright, the woman who killed her husband and whose trial featured a prosecutor tying another to a bed and pretending to stab him 200 times, may get a new sentence.
Wright stabbed her husband for real and then tried to hide his body; her attorney argued that she had suffered years of physical and mental abuse from him and acted out of "sudden passion" when he again threatened her.
District Judge Jim Wallace, who heard the original case, said this morning he will recommend to the Court of Criminal Appeals that a new punishment hearing be held.
"I'm obviously ecstatic," Wright's attorney, Brian Wice, told Hair Balls. "I've put more time and energy on this case pro bono than anything else I've ever done."

The Court of Criminal Appeals does not have to agree to Wallace's recommendation, but the fact that he was the original judge should carry some weight, Wice says. He's looking for probation, or "something in the two to 20 years" range of manslaughter, rather than the 25 she got for her murder conviction.
"I think Pat Lykos's office needs to step up, considering she campaigned against what Kelly Siegler stands for, which is win at all costs, and decide they're not going to oppose" the recommendation.
Siegler, the flamboyant prosecutor who lost to Lykos in the GOP primary, was the stabber in the infamous courtroom re-enactment of the incident.
