Is Philippe Sands Serious about the Pinochet Precedent?
In short, is Sands dead serious about the Pinochet precedent?
A weblog dedicated to reports, commentary, and debate on current developments and scholarship in the fields of international law and politics.
Well, this is what Amnesty International called for in the press release for its latest world report - identified the supposed architects of torture and proposed precisely that they be detained by ofreign countries if they traveled. Sands is merely giving, in that sense, the Euro-NGO party line. The AI 2005 report can be found here, http://web.amnesty.org/report2005/index-eng (although the really inflammtory stuff is rather dubiously not included in the report, but only in the press releases and speeches of both AI and AIUSA), and I, among a zillion other people, say nasty things about it in a Weekly Standard piece, here, http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/686hyaeq.asp. Kenneth Anderson
This is a not-quite-yet serious problem, but one that should definitely be on the radar screens. Belgium had to take its universal jurisdiction laws off the books for this very reason: suits were being filed that would have required them to arrest world leaders like Sharon, Arafat, Clinton (for the Kosovo bombings), and so on. This is the obvious drawback to expanded jurisdiction for actions previously protected by sovereign immunity.
There's a more dangerous problem posed by the Pinochet precedent, however. Granting immunity is a standard and time-honored method of achieving a transition away from authoritarian rule. To encourage a dictator and his henchmen to step down, provide them with immunity from the crimes committed under their rule. If the dictators have good reason to suspect that their immunity will not be honored, they will certainly have less incentive to step down. So, these prosecutions may be undermining the chances of ending brutal governments. I'm not so sure that is a worthwhile trade-off.
Under the Convention against Torture, nations have an obligation to criminalize complicity in torture. Most nation-states, however, would not have the jurisdiction to prosecute Yoo's (alleged) complicity. The CAT does not contemplate universal jurisdiction over torture.
Nevertheless, a state would have jurisdiction over Yoo if one of its citizens was a victim of US torture. Thus, if Yoo were to visit Bosnia (which is a party to the CAT) and Bosnian citizens have been victims of torture in US hands, it would be possible for Bosnia to prosecute Yoo. Indeed, one could argue that as a matter of international law, it is obliged to prosecute Yoo.
Obviously it would be difficult to prove that Yoo's memos directly led to the torture of any particular person. Nevertheless, procedurally, Sands's argument is not as absurd as it may seem at first glance.
Query: Could Yoo be sued under the Alien Tort Statute here in the US? Or does he enjoy absolute immunity for anything he wrote while working at the White House?
Milan is wrong when he asserts that "the CAT does not contemplate universal jurisdiction over torture." The CAT (to which the US is a party) does not merely contemplate universal jurisdiction, Art. 5 REQUIRES it in cases where an alleged offender is in the territory of a State party and that State does not extradite him to a State with jurisdiction.
So, the question is not whether a State is permitted to exercise universal jurisdiction, it is whether the relevant prosecuting authority in States are likely to conclude (i) people like Yoo are complicit in torture and (ii) that they should be prosecuted in their State.
In the UK, Criminal Justice Act 1988 allows for universal prosecution for torture but the prosecution must be authorized by the Attorney General. The first such prosecution took place earlier this year of an Afghan warlord. Since these prosecutions are subjected to high level political control it is unlikely that they will be initiated lightly or without serious consideration taken of political consequences. However, in European civil law countries where prosecutions can be initiated by independent prosecutions it is much more likely that this type of action can be brought. In short, it is a serious possibility in that latter group of countries.
Is Sands dead serious? Lets see: (1) Philippe Sands is a lawyer specialized in human rights, (2) one with lengthy experience in cases of this kind, (3) one good enough to be a college professor at an internationally renouned institution, (4) his article cites previously made arguments that have made it through the courts of several countries, and (5) he presents it all as a hypothesis with several very significant caveats. Yes, I believe it's reasonable to state that he's dead serious.
What I don't find so serious is that someone can ask whether such a person, with such arguments, presented in such way, is dead serious. Actually, considering the gravity of the subject matter and the condition of who poses the question, I find it rather frivolous, almost disrespectful.
Article 5 does not allow for universal jurisdiction. Article 5 contemplates jurisdiction when the torture occurred on one's territory or when the victim is a national of a state or when the perpetrator is a national of the state. The extradition clause you refer to Article 5(b) says that if you do not extradite the alleged torturer to a state with jurisdiction, you must take jurisdiction over the crime. This essentially prevents nations from shielding people from prosecution but would not allow a nation who has no interest under 5(a) to have a separate basis to prosecute. Perhaps it all comes down to what people think "universal" means.
Any thoughts on the Alien Tort Statute and Yoo?
Milan, I can't find anything in Art. 5(b) or Art. 7 that supports your point. Art. 5(a) provides for (i) territorial jurisdiction, (ii) nationality jurisdiction and (iii) passive personality or passive nationality jurisdiction. It then provides in 5 (b) that each STate party shall exercise jurisdiction where an alleged offender is present in its territory and it doesn't extradite him. Sounds like universal jurisdiction to me!

I am a Physics and Mathematics student, currently studying in Los Angeles. My interest in physics is focused on quantum information, and in mathematics I focus on topology and category theory.
I enjoy programming as a hobby and have spent far too much time tinkering with everything from website infrastructure to video game design to operating system development. To keep my knowledge in this field fresh, as well as help others with similar interests, I have replaced the time wasted on browsing Facebook stories from people I don't know with browsing Stack Overflow. I find it a great place to get that warm, fuzzy feeling of helping others, as well as learning from the many, many people here who know a whole lot more than I do.

This research investigates whether first sexual intercourse during adolescence is associated with increased risk of first marriage dissolution and tests whether the results are consistent with causal or selection explanations. Drawing on a sample of 3,793 ever-married women from the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, this study estimated event-history models of first-marriage dissolution. Results indicate that wanted sexual debut in later adolescence does not directly increase the risk of marital dissolution but is linked indirectly as a result of subsequent premarital sexual outcomes. Sexual debut that is not completely wanted or that occurs before age 16 is associated with increased risk of marital dissolution. The results suggest that the timing and context of adolescent sexual debut have important implications for marital stability.

Canada Stocks Snap 8-Day Rally as Banks Fall on Outlook
Canadian stocks fell for the first time in nine days as the nation's largest lenders dropped after Moody's Investors Service cut its credit outlook for the banks.
Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada both lost 0.5 percent as Moody's cut the outlook for the nation's seven largest banks to negative due to rules that would limit government support. Sherritt International Corp. slumped 3.9 percent as nickel fell in London to the lowest in almost four weeks. AuRico Gold Inc. and Argonaut Gold Inc. jumped more than 6.7 percent to pace gains among gold producers.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index fell 12.25 points, or 0.1 percent, to 14,892.13 at 4 p.m. in Toronto. The benchmark equity gauge is 1.2 percent away from its record closing high of 15,073.13 on June 18, 2008. The price-to-earnings ratio for the benchmark equity gauge is 19.9, the highest since 2011.
Bank of Montreal dropped 0.5 percent to C$76.81 and Royal Bank of Canada declined 0.5 percent to C$74.84 as financial companies slipped 0.4 percent as a group. Five of 10 industries in the S&P/TSX retreated on trading volume about 10 percent higher compared with the 30-day average.
Moody's today changed its outlook for the nation's largest lenders to negative from stable. In a statement, the credit ratings company said "balance of risk for the Canadian banks' senior debt holders and uninsured depositors has shifted to the downside" as a result of pending government legislation that will probably shift the burden of bank bailouts to bondholders.
Oryx Petroleum Corp., which explores for oil in Africa and the Middle East, sank 3.5 percent to C$13.51 as Iraqi forces fought a breakaway al-Qaeda group across northern and central Iraq for control of a region that's home to a key oil refinery.

Skip to comments.Mike Tyson on Zimmerman: Its a disgrace he hasnt been shot yet
Posted on 04/11/2012 5:55:32 PM PDT by emax
As if there werent enough race baiters trying to use this to make people pay attention to them: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/mike-tyson-trayvon-martin-case-disgrace-george-zimmerman-221115400.html
Well now we know how people whose brains were knocked out through their ears feel about this thing.
The race-baiting ear biter speaks... Tyson is the definition of disgrace.
Let's just face a simple fact, folks: In The Obama Era it is illegal for a non-black to defend himself or herself against a black.
You've been shooting your mouth off that ought to be a start...minister...
Inciting to commit murder... Isn't there a law?
Apparently in the Obama era, its Ok for blacks to kill, as long as they are killing other blacks(Or whites) how many black on black crime have we heard about these last few weeks, too many to count, but does the media report on it..of course not!
Oh and by the way, who cares what a convicted rapist has to say..maybe the media should ask Charles Manson what he thinks LOL
ask the moron about Robin, and how he likes to punch women...or how much he's lost because of stupid decisions...Hey Mike, can you spare a dime?..Oh that's right your broke
What else would you expect from a convert to the "Religion of Peace"?
Some might say that it is a disgrace that a violent rapist hasn't been shot already...
For how long and how many times have YOU been a disgrace, Mike?
Thank you for sharing your insights, Professor Tyson.
I never realized how much Mike Tyson hates Latinos and wants to deny them justice!
Tyson quotes:
Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
Mike Tyson
Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.
Mike Tyson
As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.
Mike Tyson
Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.
Mike Tyson
Everybody's got plans... until they get hit.
Mike Tyson
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.
Mike Tyson
God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.
Mike Tyson
I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.
Mike Tyson
I can inspire people on how to use money, how to get economically powerful.
Mike Tyson
I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.
Mike Tyson
I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.
Mike Tyson
I don't react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don't care about anything. It's just too hard for me to get emotional. I can't cry no more.
Mike Tyson
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Mike Tyson
I don't understand why people would want to get rid of pigeons. They don't bother no one.
Mike Tyson
I feel bad about my outlook, how I feel about people and society, and that I'll never be part of society the way I should.
Mike Tyson
I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.
Mike Tyson
I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.
Mike Tyson
I intend to fight and I want to win. But my priorities are basically to be a good Brother and a strong one, and to try to be a good father one day.
Mike Tyson
I just look around and say, I'm a mess. I don't know why I do things.
Mike Tyson
I just want to be humble at all times.
Mike Tyson
I'm sure he is only mouthing words he has heard or been told ... he is to brain dead to have and original thought.
You're exactly right. He hasn't had an original thought in years.
It is interesting that a rapist would be a proponent of vigilante justice.
And yet...if presented with a life or death scenario, I will not hesitate to shoot. No matter what skin color my assailant is sportin'.
don't forget about his brutal rape of Desiree Washington that put him in prison
I'm surprised this mental giant isn't pushing up daisies by now. He needs to be in a cage.
I'm surprised this mental giant isn't pushing up daisies by now. He needs to be in a cage.
Tyson is even a disgrace to holder's people.
Maybe even to all primates.
Really was waiting to hear what wisdom "ear snak" was going to so civilly infuse.
Tyson is no surprise, other than someone, anyone, could understand anything he says.
This incident is showing anyone willing to see that it is totally clear who the racists and justice haters really are.
I've been saying that about Tyson for years. However, there's been good reason for that.
It's a disgrace that Tyson isn't still in prison
How easily these simpletons are riled. My opinion of black people has fallen to an absolute new low. I don't think I can ever think of the vast majority of them as rational adults capable of reason and objectivity ever again — as I have for my entire life up until now. I think it's clear now that the ones who can are few and far between. And Obama, half white, and Eric Holder, probably a quarter white, are among those who are incapable of higher forms of thinking. It's quite clear now.
And it's a disgrace that this convicted rapist oxygen-thief is still among us!
Grew up on a street that was eventually renamed MLK. Had a lot of black friends as a kid. They were always in our house. My parents were colorblind. Later we would have people like a Houston basketball player names Hakeem and others like Clyde Drexler in the house. Had black girlfriends.
I've never used the N word. But now, because of Obama I've been thinking it for the first time in my life because of some of these thugs.
Tyson was punch-drunk when he was born. It's interesting to observe how much "racial healing" our first half-black President unleashed on the nation.
Right back at ya Mike!
Right back at ya Mike!
Mike Tyson endorses KKK style justice.
Extra! Extra! Extra!
Really,I feel the same way about Mike Tyson.
Mark your calendar, Tyson made a sentance with a subject and predicate!!!
The rapist speaks...
I heard that Mike Tyson screams during sex....the Mace burns his eyes.
"And yet...if presented with a life or death scenario, I will not hesitate to shoot. No matter what skin color my assailant is sportin'."
I'm with you, brother.

Thanks Rafael for your generous comments and for the time spent exploring my collection. Have you zoomed in to see the accumulation of spider webs up there?
Warm regards from Sydney,
Those spiders have been busy Ian! Quite a secure spot. Beautiful light on this image. Thanks for sharing it with the Mandala group.
Regards, Chris
Hi Chris,
I doubt there is a handle long enough to reach this apex! The webs will remain a while longer, and the spiders will grow very fat! It delights me that you appreciate this splendid design.

Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center is a hidden gem providing comfort, friendship, and self worth for our local veterans. LDEC depends on donations, and promote their services through social media, fundraising, and word of mouth. Having volunteered to provide meals, make trophies, and donate needed funds, I can not tell you the joy my heart feels. To be able to give back to the men and woman who have served our country and who just enjoy being heard is such a pleasure for me. Clint Arrington,Sherry, and many volunteers work so hard to bring forth a dignified vision in a relaxed country setting that makes our veterans proud of what they have sacrificed. Once again Powhatan is providing a needed service that benefits us all.

An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn'tby Judy Jones, William Wilson
View All Available Formats & Editions
When it was originally published in 1987, An Incomplete Education became a surprise bestseller. Now this instant classic has been completely updated, outfitted with a whole new arsenal of indispensable knowledge on global affairs, popular culture, economic trends, scientific principles, and modern arts. Here's your chance to brush up on all those subjects you slept through in school, reacquaint yourself with all the facts you once knew (then promptly forgot), catch up on major developments in the world today, and become the Renaissance man or woman you always knew you could be!
How do you tell the Balkans from the Caucasus? What's the difference between fission and fusion? Whigs and Tories? Shiites and Sunnis? Deduction and induction? Why aren't all Shakespearean comedies necessarily thigh-slappers? What are transcendental numbers and what are they good for? What really happened in Plato's cave? Is postmodernism dead or just having a bad hair day? And for extra credit, when should you use the adjective continual and when should you use continuous?
An Incomplete Education answers these and thousands of other questions with incomparable wit, style, and clarity. American Studies, Art History, Economics, Film, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, Science, and World History: Here's the bottom line on each of these major disciplines, distilled to its essence and served up with consummate flair.
In this revised edition you'll find a vitally expanded treatment of international issues, reflecting the seismic geopolitical upheavals of the past decade, from economic free-fall in South America to Central Africa's world war, and from violent radicalization in the Muslim world to the crucial trade agreements that are defining globalization for the twenty-first century. And don't forget to read the section A Nervous American's Guide to Living and Loving on Five Continents before you answer a personal ad in the International Herald Tribune.
As delightful as it is illuminating, An Incomplete Education packs ten thousand years of culture into a single superbly readable volume. This is a book to celebrate, to share, to give and receive, to pore over and browse through, and to return to again and again.
From the Hardcover edition.

I am typically drawn to these tid-bit style books. I enjoy reading useless and sometimes entertaining bits and pieces. So with that proclivity, I was given this as a gift. While it has it's moments this is basically disjointed, disorganized and uninteresting. A lot of what appears in here is opinion based. I don't read these type of books for opinion. This is like a "best of" list book in parts. I don't care to read someone else's opinion on insignificant things. I cannot urge anyone to buy this mess.
I really like the book. I think the author's sense of humor is fun. Obviously the book doesn't cover every subject in great detail but it certainly opened my mind to new concepts and gave me enough information to do my own study in greater depth on the subjects I found interesting. I bought this book in anticipation of being on a quiz show. I didn't make the cut for the show but I was very pleased with the new things I learned from this book.
I attended one of the best colleges in the country, one that is known for its so-called Common Core Curriculum, which should have educated all of us in the basics. Somehow I still managed to lack tons of information that I think that an educated person should know. I ran across this book and read about a tenth of it. That was enough to make me want to buy it, which I am doing today. I read the review from the reviewer who accused the writers of being homophobic and focusing on this aspect of their personalities in an unfair way. In the roughly tenth of the book that I have read, I found no mention at all of homosexuality of any kind, and suspect that the reviewer has a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
very well written to be easy and fun to read in small bites, a good conversation starter.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was addicting the amount of information they were throwing at you. They make it easy to skip around to topics that interest you most. The authors actually have a sense of humor which makes for absorbing all this information a little easier and entertaining. I would have liked for a little more detail and more clarification on some issues. Sometimes it did seem like the authors expect you to already have common knowledge on certain subjects which made their explanation a little confusing. But otherwise, I appreciated how the authors compared what you learned in high school to what you should have learned instead.
Here as rebels you are chosing to not stand for the rituals of wereclan you may help your self in the forest an when you arrive your tree hut will be furbished an built.....Rebela the leader of rebels out!"*dissapears as her hologram an note is left*
Wow, a lot of harsh criticism of this book. The original 1987 edition was in my family's library when I was a child, and I have fond memories of perusing through this book enough that I probably read the whole thing 2 or 3 times in small doses at a time. Even being that young, I could tell this book has a strongly humorous bent and doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the reader. It's not designed to be a heavy-duty, ultra authoritative compendium of human culture. That said, it does offer a lot of interesting tidbits of knowledge (and opinion) to casual readers. It won't turn anybody into a scholar, it's just meant to be a fun book that can help give a reader a little bit of well-roundedness if they can read it with some objectivity. Because of this book, I have had a handy and easy-to-read reference point for learning a little bit about philosophy, film history, etc. Lighten up, folks. And please remember, the key word here is "incomplete". I think some reviewers here have set the bar way too high.
General info for a rainy day read! Do not need to sit down and read at one sitting!
Not as comprehensive as I had hoped (and too "preachy" on some points). Could have been better organized and given a broader view of the areas it purports to cover.

A different form of graffiti, created by 19th century
settlers to Dunedin, was recently uncovered when museum staff
cleaned a set of "unremarkable wooden boards" from an
immigration barracks at Caversham, which opened in 1873.
Some notes scrawled in pencil across the four boards, part of
the museum's collections, were already apparent, but cleaning
in the museum's conservation laboratory revealed more of the
Museum assistant conservator Laurence Le Ber said the notes
appeared to be left by immigrants from 1883-84.
"Some names of people, places and ships are visible though,
tantalisingly, other areas were faint and difficult to read."
References were found to immigrant ships, including
Forfarshire, which arrived at Otago on June 26, 1883,
carrying 267 passengers.
One wistful message refers to having arrived on Forfarshire,
and hoping to see "a Mary O'Neill", a passenger on the next
vessel to arrive.
A Mary O'Neill did, in fact, arrive in on the next ship,
Nelson, that year.
Many puzzles remained, but Mr Le Ber said the successful
historical detective work was a "real buzz".
He had worked with museum curator Sean Brosnahan, archivist
Jill Haley and Dunedin Public Art Gallery painting
conservator Jenny Sherman to make sense of the graffiti,
which would be displayed at the redeveloped museum.

A Hundred Flowers Blossoming: A Collection of Literary Essays Written by Chinese Scholars (Paperback)Xiao-Ming Yang
Paperback Published: 03/08/2009
- Can be ordered from our supplier
A Hundred Flowers Blossoming is a collection of literary essays written by faculty members of Xi'an International Studies University, China with two distinctive features. The first one is a Chinese perspective on Western literary works, which is normally not found in the scholarship in the West. The second is the feministic stance demonstrated in most articles, as most of the contributors are female. There are four parts in this collection. Part One is titled 'A Room of Her Own' and shows the feminist approach to literary works. Part Two is titled 'Through the Chinese Lens,' as it presents a Chinese perspective in the analysis of the literary works. 'Form Is Meaning' is the title of Part Three, which approaches literary works from a structuralist perspective. Part Four includes two articles: one exploring the theme of death in Joyce's Dubliners and the other reexamining the images of Faulkner's Trio of Hunting Tales.

Theistic evolution is utter and complete nonsense.
And is just a way to introduce false doctrine into religion, and make false doctrine acceptable.
Either God is God and is capable of direct creation man, and all the great miracles of the Bible, raising the dead, and walking on water, telling a mountain or river to move and it moves, controlling the elements with a word, multiplying bread and fish, defying gravity, instant healing of any infirmity or disease, and all the other great miracles recorded in scripture,
or God is not God.
If God is capable of direct creation then evolution would be beneath his state and therefore ungodly.
Therefore, theistic evolution is not logical or possible if there is a God, and God is truly God.
And it s only purpose is make false doctrine acceptable.

A perfect example of how some of the religious abandon logic and common sense in favor of religious teachings.
By the same logic, why would an all powerful God allow some of the senseless suffering we so commonly see?

You would have to understand our purpose of being here.
Also, Allowing the our agency so that they may be judged for our works, is not illogical.
God could not blessed us for doing good if we are not allowed to our agency to do wrong. Doing good would be meaningless and meaningless effort worthy of no reward. And we would not be able to progress and grow as his spiritual offspring.
But as for theistic evolution, for God to act beneath him, in ways that are less than Godly would be illogical.
God must do things in Godly ways.
The false doctrine of theistic evolution is simple a step stone along the way to eventually removing God altogether.

@Tyler D
Even dawkins has conceded the intelligent design or involvement is or was necessary at some point. Whether you call it an alien or God is irrelevant.
Evolution is still ridiculous and silly nonsense based wholly on may haves, might haves, could haves, assumptions and supposition, made-up relationships, and trees of life.
It is based entirely on supposing everything.
Evolution teaches that it is very slow of unperceivable mutations happening over long periods of time.
So why are we not inundated with transitory fossils? In fact the fossil record should show nothing but transitional fossils.
Yet we seem to have discrete periods of creatures that lasted extremely long periods of time.
and have difficult time finding so-called transitions,
when the record should be nothing but transitions.
There is no laboratory evidence of evolution, they have not even ben able to force it in laboratory conditions.
And rather than letting the facts drive the theory, they force fit everything in the theory via assumptions and supposings or worse, when they should have rejected the theory long ago.
It is story telling, very clever and convincing story telling, but just story telling, and utterly ridiculous.

LONDON Microsoft(MSFT.O) announced its biggest-ever customer for cloud computing - software that it hosts on behalf of clients and delivers over the Internet - after winning a contract to provide free services to the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
Microsoft, which was built on the sale of expensive software that is installed on individual computers, has been forced by competition from Google (GOOG.O) and others to branch out into the fast-growing world of cloud computing.
The U.S. software giant said on Thursday it would provide its Live@edu communication and collaboration software to more than 7 million students and half a million teachers through a deal with the AICTE.
The service, which Microsoft is providing for free as part of its education initiative, includes email, Office Web applications, instant messaging and storage.
For users, cloud computing is inexpensive and simple, because it removes the need to spend time and money on installing software and managing servers.
Large government departments are prime targets for vendors such as Microsoft and Google.
Last June, Microsoft unveiled a revamped online version of its hugely profitable Office software suite.

will this affect when they try to give me an epidural. My doctor wasn't very reassuring. Now im super nervous. I never thought I'd have to go thru this or even think of it, then again in 2010 my son was 3 1/2 I just wanted to be better for him & wasn't planning an addition to the family any time soon. But appartently they said with scar tissue its possible that the epidural wouldnt work. I was definitely trying to do VBAC this time around. It's not possible for them to give me a c-section and what if the epi doesnt work. OMG im panicking over here.
Lower lumbar back surgery and epidural
I had a L5 disc herniation repaired years ago and when I asked my Dr. about an epidural he looked at me very confused as to why I would even think it would be a problem. Now you have me worried!
Well they want all my records transferred and the doc said id have to meet with the anesthesiologist just like @devi said. Im just really nervous becuz she was saying scar tissue will cause it not to work.. but im thinking. OKAY so if i have another emerg-c c-section WTF does that mean imma feel them cut me open? negative. my mom said they will jus tknock me out.. but thats not what i wanted. :(( so upset mine was L5 L6 i believe
My epidural didn't work when I was in labor with my son, and that was before I had surgery to fix a herniated disc at L4-L5. I'm curious to see this time if it will work, or if any scar tissue that may have formed from the surgery will be a problem. Either way, I figure there is not a whole lot I can do about it so I try not to stress myself out. One way or another, this baby will come out lol
Ok so I ended up finding my surgery records and MRI results. I do remember him saying he didnt mess with L3 L4 .. but im just wondering if having surgery one L4-5 & L5-S1 will lower my chances of getting an epidural im so upset :((
At L3-4, there is a small bulge and mild bilateral facet degeneration.
At L4-5, there is mild degenerative disc disease. In addition, there is a left paracentral disc
herniation at L4-5. This measures approximately 5 to 6 mm in greatest AP dimension. It flattens
the left side of the thecal sac at L4-5. It causes moderate central spinal stenosis to the left of
midline. The neural foramina are maintained.
At L5-S1, there is a central disc herniation that migrates slightly down below the level of the
disc space. It appears to be minimally larger to the left of midline. This disc herniation
measures about 8.7 mm in AP dimension. It causes of mild central spinal stenosis. It also appears
to slightly narrow the left and right lateral recesses. There is mild degenerative disc disease
and disc space narrowing at L5-S1.
Anybody else find anything out?
I have severe scoliosis and spinal degeneration from my neck being messed up. My C1 is turned almost completely around and my C2 sits at an upward right angle. My entire spine has had to compensate for this resulting in a right curve a full inch from it's proper position at the farthest point. I had no problems with my epidural. They put my epidural in almost exaclty in the middle of my back. I had no problems with it not working, but I also don't have scar tissue from surgery so I don't know how much that could affect it. I guess it would depend on the exact location of the scar tissue. The only problem I had from the epidural were really bad back spasms. Basically the epidural caused all of the muscles supporting my spine to completely relax, so that when it wore off and I was lifting a newborn constantly and lifting her in her carseat they had to readjust back to their usual tense state causing horrific muscle spasms from my lower back all the way up to the top of my spine for a few weeks. It took months for my back to go back to "normal". My spine and back muscles just felt extremely weak for a while afterwards.
i google searched where they enter with epidural it seems At L3 L4

STEUBENVILLE - The search for a pistol allegedly used during the shooting death of Marie Cantwell, 38, last week is continuing in Beloit, where Cantwell's boyfriend, Michael Mitchell, was arrested late Thursday evening.
Mitchell, 38, was formally arraigned on murder charges at the Jefferson County Justice Center Monday afternoon during a five-minute appearance before Toronto county court Judge Joe Corabi, who set bond at $1 million.
Corabi also appointed attorney Steve Lamatrice to represent Mitchell after the defendant said he had no income and the only property he owned was his truck.

CHARGED WITH MURDER — Michael Mitchell of Irondale signed paperwork Monday afternoon during his arraignment hearing. Mitchell has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Marie Cantwell, in their Irondale home Thursday. Assisting Mitchell with his paperwork was Jefferson County corrections officer Mary Pashke. - Dave Gossett
"I worked last October. The only thing I own is my truck, which is probably worth $2,500 to $3,000," Mitchell told Corabi.
Mitchell will return to the justice center at 8:30 a.m. Thursday for a preliminary hearing.
Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin asked for the $1 million bond and called Mitchell a "flight risk."
"He faces the possibility of life in prison and has already shown he is a flight risk when he was apprehended in Beloit, Ohio, following the shooting of his girlfriend last week. He faces the possibility of life in prison," Hanlin stated.
Mitchell was apprehended Thursday evening by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, U.S. Marshals and Goshen Township police.
Mitchell is accused of shooting Cantwell in the head with a small caliber handgun early Thursday morning at their home at 998 county Road 50 in Irondale.
According to Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla , Cantwell's three children were in the home and her 13-year-old daughter was sleeping in bed with her mother when the shooting occurred.
Abdalla said Mitchell left the home around 10:40 a.m. Thursday, telling Cantwell's daughter he would return in about 30 minutes.
Mitchell had put all his clothing, as well as numerous firearms and more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition in his utility truck prior to leaving the Irondale home, Abdalla said.
Abdalla said Mitchell's truck broke down on state Route 213 at the state Route 7 rest area in northern Jefferson County, and a tow truck from East Liverpool towed Mitchell's truck to Beloit.
Abdalla said there was a posting on Facebook that Mitchell was being sought in connection with the shooting death, and the tow truck driver's wife saw the posting and called the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, saying she recognized the man's picture.
Abdalla said the tow truck driver saw a small caliber handgun on the seat of Mitchell's truck but authorities have not been able to find the weapon.
"I just asked him again before the arraignment hearing where the handgun was located. He told me he may have pushed it down behind the seat of the truck or it may be in his uncles' house in Beloit or in the garage or in a shed on the property," stated Abdalla.
"The two uncles are cooperating with us. The uncles said they would continue looking for the gun and were told not to touch it and to immediately call his department if it's found. The gun could be anywhere in there," Abdalla said Saturday evening," Abdalla said.
Goshen Township Police found Mitchell's truck at the house in Beloit, according to Chad Simpson, deputy U.S. Marshal.
Simpson said Mitchell was arrested at the house without incident.
Mitchell also signed a federal waiver of extradition and was transported to the Jefferson County jail, said Simpson.
Mitchell, in an interview by Abdalla at the county jail early Friday, claimed the shooting was an accident, the sheriff said.

I have two outputs for Audio. One is an audio jack on my monitor that uses HDMI and the other is the built in audio in the computer. I have noticed that audio on the computer is much louder than the audio on the HDMI. (I can max out the HDMI audio and it be audible but not loud. The Computer audio can be very loud when maxed out.)

I've tried backing up to Dropbox, and email. Neither has worked. It initializes, but never finishes the backup. Can't seem to figure out why.

Hi Casey,
Do feel free to visit the support forum - http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus - and post a log file of a failed backup. Then I can see what went wrong.
I'll try and get a log for you, but it always just says "Beginning creation of dump of plugins", and then never does anything else. Don't even know where I can get a log from. I never get any error. I just load the other page, and then nothing happens, and no backups are created. I'm trying it again now to see if I can get you anything.
Most likely, the web server isn't allowing PHP enough time to run to create the plugins zip.
This new version can deal with that - please update:
Hi Casey,
Version 1.4.2 has several improvements now for larger sites. It should not be able to cope with basically everything - please could you try it out and let me know how you get on? I depend upon reports from people who had problems, because, well, all the sites I can test it on don't have problems!
Hello @caseythehost, have you tried the latest version 1.6.46.
This is almost the most perfect backup plugin you can use in the market today. The reason for this comment is because the support you get from David is tremendous.
Kind and humble remarks.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
It turns out that Loose Ends, one of my favorite comics of 2011, didn't disappear after all. It's just taking a long, long time to finish.
In a lengthy interview with Comic Book Resources' Timothy Callahan, Winter Soldier writer Jason Latour revealed the fourth and final issue of his "ambitiously layered" crime series (or, rather, "Southern crime romance") will eventually be released. All that's standing in the way is the schedule of artist Chris Brunner.
"I promise you, the title isn't our private little Andy Kaufman bit," he told Callahan. "We haven't seen Issue 4 yet because it's an attempt to do something that's, as you said, 'ambitiously layered.' The final chapter maybe more so than the rest of the book combined. Couple that with some extenuating circumstances that have arisen on Brunner's end, and that's why we are where we are. It would be a much different circumstance if either of us had the resources of Marvel or DC. But as it is, Chris is working hard on the last issue at the pace he can afford. The hope is when it's all said and done it'll be a story that stands nicely, free of the monthly market."
Debuting in July 2011 from 12 Gauge Comics, Loose Ends is an engaging and gorgeous (Rico Renzi's colors are stellar) miniseries that operates squarely within the conventions of the genre — it starts with a war vet turning to drug running only to be sidetracked by a face from his past, a situation that can't end happily — but it does so incredibly well. (Don't just believe me: Callahan wrote a terrific review of the first issue.) The third issue arrived in November 2011, and then … well, things happened.
So, clearly, the promise of a resolution to Loose Ends is cause for celebration. In the meantime, I recommend tracking down those first three issues.
That's funny, cause he's gonna have to time up some loose ends on Winter Soldier when it inevitably gets canceled within the year.
It's not funny for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that Chris Brunner isn't the artist on Winter Soldier.
I'm glad to finally read some news about this. I've been wondering about this & have seen little to nothing about it.
The question really is though (which wasn't really answered as well as I'd like in the interview) is if that last issue is actually going to come out as a single issue through 12-Gauge or if they're going to just solicit the trade and go "See how the story ends only here!" thing.
Thanks for the support, guys. Means a lot.
If we have my way issue #4 will be a single issue. I don't want to cheat people who've enjoyed the book so far.
That's what I like to hear. I eagerly await the time when I can pre-order that issue #4.
Still waiting on that #4. Won't read the first three w/out it, but I'm not buying the trade. Any news, Jason ?
sososo… just keeping it alive! Still waiting for #4
Still waiting, please release #4!!!
And sadly, it never appeared.
Dang, I just read the first three on comixology and thought there was a glitch with the last issue missing.
What a bummer I would have liked to see some kind of conclusion. Still worth reading, even knowing it will probably never be tied up.

Historical Traveler Reviews Cheyenne Mountain Resort Colorado Springs
Loved Cheyenne Mountain Resort
My husband and I stayed here in October for a week, and it was a very beautiful and scenic facility with very good food and very good service. The room we had was huge, with a bathroom with granite countertops, which was nicer than any I had been to in a long time. It is billed as a convention facility, but it appeals to golfers and those wanting good hiking, tennis, and work-out facilities, as well. The views of Cheyenne Mountain and the mountain golf course were excellent, and the surrounding area was just beautiful. My husband loved the course. We stayed here because we couldn't get a room at the Broadmoor, but ended up liking it so much, it was just a better fit for us, more of a Colorado Lodge feel. We drove into the surrounding residential areas, and deer walked freely around. As we went through a car wash, a deer was drinking the water from the car wash, very tame around here! The Garden of the Gods and all of the wonderful things that Colorado Springs and the nearby areas has to offer were very nearby. I would highly recommend this lovely lodge when in Colorado Springs!
Loved it
Stayed there three nights. Room very clean, but view to mountains was obstructed. Screen door was off track, and sliding glass door did not lock. Other than that, beds were comfy, room immaculate, and facilities were teriffic. Would recommend this place again, especially to families!
Just great
Lovely accomodations. Only criticism is concierge services could be stronger. In all other areas the staff was polite and attentive. If you go in June as we did, plan your activities for the mornings when skies are clear. Nearby Tommy Ds is an excellent restaurant.
Nice location, average hotel
We stayed at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort last week because we were heading to the Royal Gorge Bridge over the weekend. The resort had wonderful views of the foothills and the 35 acre golf course. The rooms were average, handle on sink for hot water did not work. The walls are paper thin as someone had metioned before. Our hotel room was next to a group of young adults who had been in a wedding earlier in the day, they were extremely loud and we could hear every word they said...this activity carried on from 1am-4am, when(after calling the front desk 2 times,) someone finally came up to settle them down. I don't think this hotel should be a 4 star, it's only surviving due to it's location.
Less than 4 star
My husband and I went on a long weekend while our kids were at overnight camp in June 2004. For a 4 star rating, I was expecting glorious rooms. The rooms had been redone, but not the carpet. This was not 4 star. Plus, the beds should be pillow top if you are a 4 star hotel. The lodges are nice, but more rustic than we had hoped for. The restaurant is great, but you can only have the buffet. You can not order off the menu a la carte. This was dissapointing. The staff was very nice and gracious. But I was expecting a gorgeous room alittle better than a Hilton or Sheraton which I would compare this to.
Not a Good Choice
I stayed at this hotel in December 2003 to see my husband before he left for Iraq. There aren't too many things good about this hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious but the walls are paper thin and we could hear everything on every side of us. Because this hotel is on a great deal of property, we would ask about how to get to the workout facilities, tennis courts, etc. We asked three different employees who responded, "I don't know." The restaurant is expensive as well and they don't really make you feel welcome. We ate at the Broadmoor where the staff was extremely friendly and we weren't even guests. It was also less expensive. I would never stay here again. We just never received the service we had hoped for.
A must-see for anyone staying in the Springs!
I stayed at the CMR for business, but my stay was pure pleasure! The rooms were beautifully appointed, the views spectacular, and the dining room was to die for(not only the food, but the views, too!). But it was the little, important things that made my stay great, too. The bathrooms were clean, the rooms didn't have a musty odor, the staff was professional and friendly, the bed was comfortable. The cable isn't exceptional, with only 20 or so channels, and no movies. But I suppose most people who go there aren't there to watch TV.
Even though I was at the CMR in the off-season, I was able to appreciate the beautiful Rockies, and especially Pike's Peak which was right out of my window! I will most definitely come back here anytime--whether for business OR pleasure!
The Perfect Convention Site
I travel on business trips about four times each year. My colleagues and I have been to several other conventions locations throughout the US and I feel the Cheyene Mountain blows the doors off all the rest.
The staff and the service they provide is superior. The facilities are very nice also.
Wonderful weekend escape
I knew nothing about this hotel until a friend who attended a meeting there told me about it. My husband and I play golf and were eger to try a new course. We got a $215 room rate that included golf and breakfast for Friday night and a $119 rate for the room only on Saturday so we could just drive around town. The food is absolutely to die for so be careful! The Sunday brunch was the best we've ever had anywhere!!!
There is a country club next to the hotel and the golf course was beautiful next to the mountains and enjoyable to play. The fitness center was very nice and I loved the big pool by the beach and lake.
There was a temporary changing building by the pool due to some kind of contruction there.
Above it all, we felt the staff was very friendly and always eager to please. The people in the dining room were happy to see us and we don't feel that kind of welcome when we visit other hotels. One complaint is there aren't many other shops and restaurants nearby. It's in a nice residential area that's very peaceful and quiet. Maybe you can't have it all but if you are looking for to relax and getaway, this is the place!
Beware of extra "resort charge"
We were charges an extra $7.00 per day as aresort fee which was supposedly for the use of the resort facility pool and treadmill if we did or not use them. This was not disclosed untill we checked out and it was on our bill. I had made weekend reservations at $129.00 per night for a Friday and Saturday night. Because of the availabilty the Saturday night was raised to $159.00 per night. None of this was disclosed until we checked out and then it was not mentioned or explained untill I asked what a resort fee was for. I feel that this should be disclosed in the reservation and the facilities are a part of the resort for which I paid for in my reservation. This seems underehanded and decietful to not be informed up front.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kendra Wecker scored 19 points and
became the Big 12's career scoring leader, lifting No. 17 Kansas
State to a 71-45 victory over Nebraska in the quarterfinals of the
Big 12 tournament Wednesday night.
Wecker broke former teammate Nicole Ohlde's record on a 12-foot
jump shot that gave Kansas State a 47-25 lead with 14:07 to go in
the game. She now has 2,248 career points.
The third-seeded Wildcats will play No. 2 seed Texas in
Thursday's semifinal round. Baylor faces Texas Tech in the other
semifinal game.
Twiggy McIntyre added 10 points for the Wildcats, who shot 52
percent from the field.
Elena Diaz scored 15 points to lead the Huskers (17-13), who
lost five of their last six games. Kiera Hardy added eight points
but shot just 3-for-14 from the field field.
Leading 9-8 5 minutes into the game, Kansas State went on a 24-4
run over the next 10 minutes, building a 33-12 lead with 5:25 to go
in the first half. Five different players scored during the spurt,
which Laurie Koehn started on a fastbreak layup and Wecker finished
with a mid-range jumper.
The Wildcats led by as many as 30, at 63-33, in the second half
before coach Deb Patterson went to her bench to rest her starters
late in the game.
Diaz was 7-for-13 from the field, but the rest of the Huskers
combined to go just 10-for-49. Nebraska was also 2-for-12 from
beyond the 3-point arc and got out-rebounded 43-32.

MacX Video Converter Free Edition may be new to some people, yet it has been gaining increasing popularity. Below is an overview for each of them to help you better know their overall quality.
MacX Video Converter Free Edition has not been recognized as well-noted as HandBrake and Video Converter for Mac, yet it owns some key features that help users free convert video on Mac (macOS Sierra) like a breeze on its intuitive user interface.
This full-featured Mac video converter software could convert among a diverse range video formats that you may want, including HD videos like MKV, AVCHD, M2TS etc, and regular video such as AVI, MPEG, MP4, DivX, XviD, MOV, FLV, RM, RMVB, WebM and so on.

You can only rely on the v0.9.2 version of Handbrake to convert MP4 to AVI format. For the version above 0.9.2, it merely converts video to MP4/MKV on Mac freely. Moreover, the novice users may be discouraged by the potentially confusing settings. Thus, MacX Video Converter Free Edition could serve as a good alternative to Handbrake for users who needs a versatile, stable and handy video converting program running on Mac computer.
The best mac video file converter offers a simple UI for users to convert video free on Mac, MP4 to MOV conversion on Mac, or MKV to MP4, FLV to AVI, AVI to MOV, and more, yet it is claimed on its site that this software does not support WMV formats both as input and output formats.
