It is rather tempting to regard the triumph of The King's Speech in Sunday night's Oscars as the victory of the self-deprecating, plucky Brits over Yee-ha, check-out-my-guns, vulgar might of the Yanks.
Colin Firth, with his dashing good looks and haltingly delivered, self-deprecating one-liners, rather had one over True Grit's Western-mythologizing, The Social Network's peon to unimaginable wealth, and even Toy Story 3's techno animation wizardry.
Put aside the clever effects and pistols, this is about one man overcoming adversity to rally a nation against overwhelming odds and the march of totalitarianism. If ever a film spoke to the desire for a nation to regard itself as good, and brave and true, then this is it. No wonder British audiences are spontaneously applauding the credits.
But let us put aside jingoism for a moment. And let's regard the film instead as a metaphor for customer service.
A fusty old British company is not only absurdly detached from its customer, arrogantly assuming they will stick around just because they always have, it is also preternaturally incapable of communicating with them effectively. Along comes a consultant who hails from one of the former colonies, and transforms the battered old firm into a contemporary, customer service champion.
At the risk of flogging this metaphor with all the subtlety of Jerry Springer's post-show morality spiel, The King's Speech is rather better a symbol of collaboration. British companies, through their customer service, have become several times more effective by learning from their American peers. They use US methods to sharpen up their service proposition, and US technology to measure those methods' effectiveness.
In return, you guys can vicariously enjoy our Royal family, without the bother of actually having to pay for, and shelter them. And that, I believe, is a healthy enough cultural exchange for a post-Oscar love-in.

text: Leonard Nimoy: I Have Lung Disease 'I quit smoking too late,' he says By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Feb 7, 2014 1:13 AM CST 34 comments Comments Susan Bay and Leonard Nimoy arrive to the home entertainment launch party "Star Trek Into Darkness" last fall. (Photo by Casey Rodgers/Invision for Paramount Pictures/AP Images) View 1 more image (Newser) – People who want to live long and prosper should quit smoking now, Leonard Nimoy says. The actor best known for playing Spock in Star Trek has been diagnosed with the lung disease COPD at the age of 82—30 years after he quit smoking, which he says wasn't soon enough, People reports. "I'm doing OK. Just can't walk distances. Love my life, family, friends, and followers," he tweeted. "Smokers, please understand. If you quit after you're diagnosed with lung damage it's too late," he added. But despite the illness and his current frail appearance—he was recently seen in an airport in a wheelchair, wearing an oxygen mask—he is still working and keeping Trekkies happy, E! Online notes. "Just taped my comments for Star Trek Fest to be aired on EPIX Feb. 16th," he told followers. "Still enjoying my life." (Read more chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stories.)

It is always interesting to see theories about this elusive disease. However, before jumping on this band wagon, I would suggest that the majority of those who have been diagnosed with fibermyalgia get tested for celiac disease. It is among the most common diseases that gets misdiagnosed as fibermyalgia in the U.S. Considering that less than 1% of celiac sufferers get diagnosed in the U.S. (compared to 70% in Spain and 60% in Europe in general) it is the first place I would check.
My sister has been diagnosed with fibermyalgia. I thought I might have had it but refused to go in for it. I have lived with the pain for so long that I, well, got used to it. I then had a biopsy done on my intestines and found out I have celiac disease. I stopped eating gluten and within 3 days all of my pain (what I have been living with for at least 30 years of my life) went away. All of it. It's truly amazing how well I feel now.
Here is the problem though. There are two tests. The reason that so many never get diagnosed properly. The blood test is very dependent on the patient consuming gluten right before it or else it will come back as negative. The same can sometimes happen even for the biopsy. If you go in to get tested make sure you load up on gluten food just before.
However, it would be good to finally get confirmation on what causes fibermyalgia. If this indeed does come out as legitimate.

There is no connection between contrails, "chemtrails" and any disease. No one is spraying me, you, or anyone else with anything. If there were, more people would be feeling the effects and a more direct link would be found.

That's interesting, because GP's would like to know about the specifics. Chronic fatigue syndrome, (CFS) was first thought to be a 'in your head' affect and the original title was, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, (ME) they still don't know the answer as yet, but the effect was observed after a viral infection.

I wouldn't get too excited about this folks. Many people suffer from fibromialgia and we all hope there is a breakthrough but there are just too many things wrong here. Firstly, I can't find a single on line reference to a published study other than this one:
Arterial stiffness causes pain and it doesn't draw the same conclusions as the article.
A major flaw in the article mentioned in the OP is the reference of an AV shunt being a special nerve fiber. An AV shunt is actually a channel or tunnel between arterial and venous blood flow that isn't normal. Also, only nerve fibers can be nerve fibers. A blood vessel can't suddenly become a nerve fiber at it's end point or tip, it becomes a capillary.
The article is factually incorrect and there is no reference to the study, therefore, I claim bogus...
The excessive sensory innervation to the glabrous skin AVS is a likely source of severe pain and tenderness in the hands of FM patients. Importantly, glabrous AVS regulate blood flow to the skin in humans for thermoregulation and to other tissues such as skeletal muscle during periods of increased metabolic demand. Therefore, blood flow dysregulation as a result of excessive innervation to AVS would likely contribute to the widespread deep pain and fatigue of FM. SNRI compounds may provide partial therapeutic benefit by enhancing the impact of sympathetically mediated inhibitory modulation of the excess sensory innervation
I wish you luck on a proper diagnosis. I am willing to live with any side effects wrather than the pain. Actually, I would eat a turd if the doctor told me it would make me feel better. It has gotten better though. I am at least functional. Best wishes!

When you choose the wrong tent
We first went camping in a tent I purchased off the internet. It was brand new, unbranded and only £60 for a so called 8-9 man tent. I could not see the point in spending a fortune if we were not going to enjoy camping, as we were trailing 4 active children, including a young baby. £60 sounded retrievable if I were to decide I did not like camping and wanted to sell all my camping equipment. That was such a big mistake, as everything apart from the tent was brilliant, a good tent would have made the holiday great. It was so cheap that my husband tore it twice just putting the ground pegs in. That may not have been all the poor tents fault as my husband is a bit accident prone.
The worst tent ever!
The scenery on the hills of Derbyshire amist a very rural farm was amazing.Rolling hills for miles, spotted with the odd sheep or horse. We were not cramped, or overlooked. What a false sense of greatness that was. We unpacked the tent and rolled it out, as you should. My husband and I had that tent up with in an hour. It was a flimsy tent with no skirt or built in ground sheet, like I knew those things were even important. The tent had a 12 inch gap all around the edge, no amount of adjusting would help, the tent could not even be driven further in to the ground as that had already been done and my husband was looking like a hunchback in there already too.
The 8 man tent was at maximum a 6 man tent, with 3 small pods for the bedroom and a small dome in the middle as the living quarters. My poor 6 foot husband could only stand up if he was in the middle of the tent, otherwise even myself at 5 foot 6 was crouching. That is quite irritating after more than an hour.
Next I tried out the bedrooms, they were not big enough to hold the steel army style green camp beds, when any tent manufacturer state they are either 2,3,4 or 5 man bedroom pods, they mean sleeping bags, but also add to the same amount as single air beds. This meant that the sealed up bedroom pods had to be left unzipped and the army styled camp beds had to be placed slightly over the entrance. At least the kids were off the floor but with no built in ground sheet for the main tent perimeter, it was cold. We even went out after the first night and double upped on the sleeping bags for everyone. Thank heavens for Argos is all I can say!
Was that the end of the camping for our family? No way! This was a start of a challenge, I just needed to get us a new tent, one that didn't have great big drafts that felt like you were sleeping in an open field in the middle of winter. Off I went hunting for my nice new tent, and cometh forward the best tent I have ever seen for less than £500.
8 Man Tent Sprayway Ravine
Anyone who says that size doesn't matter, never slept in a cramped up tent for a week. The Sprayway Ravine 8 man tunnel tent is a great big fabric home from home. The stats on this fabulous tent are as follows
- The tents blue print is 795 long by 440 wide.
- At the back of the Sprayway Ravine is a row of 3 bedroom pods that are also fully enclosed. Each pod holds two people. The pods can be left out for an open sleeping area. Alternatively, there is an extra pod that is fixed up in the living area but still self enclosed for an extra two sleepers or as a wardrobe.
- It has a built in bucket ground sheet that covers the area with the bedrooms and living area, but not the second area, known as "the wet room". The built in ground sheet can be unpopped as to remove it for cleaning.
- The wet room is an area that you can either enclose for extra space on rainy days, or open up and bring your outside in, whilst still having an enclosed other living area.
- The Sprayway Ravine is also a steel framed tent, so no flimsy fibre glass poles. This does make it rather heavy, with an outerfly sheet and an inner fly sheet, plus metal poles, this baby comes in 4 separate bags, that are supplied with the tent.
- There are small vents and zips for things like electric hook up cables, an essential in todays world of camping.
- It is extremely water proof at a rating of 4000.
- The Sprayway Ravine is a straight tunnel tent, making it very easy and straight forward to put up.
- Weighing in at 48 kg, it is understandable that the Sprayway Ravine Tunnel tent would be much better to put up with two people, it is just so sturdy.
- The extra to this tunnel tent is the built in sun canopy at the main entrance, making a lovely seating area on lovely days.
- There is a matching footprint available. I like to purchase this as it means you can lay your Tunnel tent out in any weather and know it isn't going to get filthy, as the ground is covered first. Using a footprint to your tunnel tent also saves your built in ground sheet from rocks and thistles whilst you are camping in fields.
- There are available to purchase separately, extra side porches and a further front porch, really this tent is larger than most already, if you feel you still want extra room to go camping, at least the Sprayway Ravine tunnel tent will grow with you whilst you purchase extra space.
I am positive that you will not find a stronger or larger tent of such quality, where the benefits are really great and you don't get a bad neck from crouching all day, all for less that £500.
Amazon sell this fabulous Tunnel tent for under £500. A great tent that really is just to good to miss if you like to camp in comfort.

DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT, THE - Our Days Mind The Tyme (rot) LP
17,00 €
incl. 19 % USt zzgl. Versandkosten
Lieferzeit: am Lager
"When Bad Afro Records started out in 1996 there was only focus on the Scandinavian rock scene and bands likeThe Hellacopters, Baby Woodrose, Turbonegro, The Flaming Sideburns etc. That changed in 2009 when the label released the two first 7"s with bands from outside Scandinavia and now follows the first album. The shift in release policy was largely caused by our love for THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT; a psychedelic folk band from Australia. And we are thrilled to release their 3rd album "Our Days Mind The Tyme".
THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT formed in late 2002 in the inner surrounds of Sydney, Australia. They are influenced by late 60´s garage, psychedelia and West Coast folk. The charismatic band leader Daniel Poulter writes beautiful and well-crafted songs and beneath the psychedelic and colourful surface THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT is simply a great pop band with a destinctive sound of their own.
"Our Days Mind the Tyme" owes it's genesis to the psychedelic 60s, and the influence of Sky Saxon, Arthur Lee and Syd Barrett, yet sparkles as bright, and fresh as the morning sun. From the baroque pop of "A Sound for Two", to the tight garage licks of "My Heavenly Way" and "Sold for Sinners", to the billowing pop elegance of "The Only One" and "The Ecstacy Once Told", this is an album touched by the hand of spiritual enlightenment.
When Bad Afro releassed the first single from the album last year it became "The Coolest Song In The World" on Little Stevens radio network. The second single is "Coffin Love", a beautiful duet between Daniel Poulter and Jules Farrari Gills.
The Two first THE DOLLY ROCKER MOVEMENT albums, "Electric Sunshine" and "A Journey Into The Mod Machine", were both released in 2006 on the Australian label Off The Hip. Both albums are now available as download worldwide through Bad Afro."

During the course of a panel interview for my current job, I was asked a question about dress code by one of the interviewers. The question sounded something like this, "Many departments throughout the organization enforce different dress codes. Do you feel that dress code should be uniform throughout the organization and how would you address that issue?"
What Does Great HR Look Like? It Depends.
Steve Browne March 21, 2011 at 11:54 am
Jason – I love this !! I use the "it depends" answer daily and also at every HR Roundtable because there is no one, clear answer or approach to HR situations.
Amazing – we are states apart, yet of one mind. Scary !! Can't wait until we get to present together at #HRevolution !!!
Cyndy Trivella March 21, 2011 at 9:46 pm
Excellent post Jason!
As a former HR practitioner and current HR consultant, you hit the nail on the head. Saying "it depends" means knowing there is no one fix-it for all problems. It also means that when opportunities like this come up, it's time to listen carefully, collect all the information you can, weigh the benefits / consequences of a decision, and then offer up the solution.

A few weeks ago I had mentioned that the value charge/charge now settings were working after I had the telematics module reflashed for a recall….
Well not so much. On any given day there is/was a 50/50 chance that it would to decide to charge or wait to charge (when it always should have decided to wait to charge). So I'm back to just using the default again (deleted the home charge location and simply setup the default to charge between midnight and 6am–all I do now is switch the default from charge now to value charge and back depending on what I want to do).
I found that even watching the screen as I pull up to the house and see it switch over to value charge showing the time that it would start and finish was no guarantee that it would actually do what it said. Sigh..good thing its a lease.

Sales at Chipotle restaurants open at least 13 months were up 0.9 percent for the fourth quarter. Analysts, on average, had expected a gain of 0.7 percent, according to Consensus Metrix.

Spencer: I wouldn't say our strategy is to unify Xbox and PC
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has played down previous reports saying that Microsoft wants to bring down some of the walls between Xbox and Windows PC.
Spencer said earlier this week that the company is adopting a more all-encompassing approach to its game releases, with its new Universal Windows Applications standard allowing it to roll out games in a less platform specific way.
However, speaking to PC Gamer, Spencer has attempted to calm fears that this could in any way threaten the position of Xbox as a robust, standalone platform.
I wouldn't say our strategy is to unify, because when I hear 'unify' I worry a bit that people will interpret, my own teams included, 'Hey, we just want to say a game is a game and all games should run everywhere,'" he said.
Spencer went on to stress that he still views each platform as having individual strengths and weaknesses, and that games would continue to cater to this.
I think there are a real two factors that today differentiate what I consider PC and console gaming," he explained. One is input. We've said we're going to support keyboard and mouse on console, and clearly you can plug a controller into a PC, so that's not a trump card, but [while] PC games… can support keyboard and mouse, console games today usually don't and for the most part can't.
The other thing is the play space itself. I'm usually closer to my monitor, it's a smaller screen. All these are 'usually's. And my TV experience on a console, I'm further away, it's more of a communal play experience. But the console experience is a dedicated gaming hardware device that is very appliance-like, instant on, ability to basically do one thing, which is play games, very well."
Spencer did add, however, that hardware specs between the two platforms are increasingly overlapping and that the differentiation is becoming blurred"
An example of this would be the freshly announced Forza Motorsport 6: Apex on PC. Unlike the console game, it will be a trimmed down, free-to-play experience.
We don't think Forza 6 is what the PC racing fan thinks of as a racing franchise," he argued. If you look at the racing franchises that are on PC today and do incredibly well, they're not, kind of, $60 shrinkwrapped products the way we built Forza 6. This is a good example of not trying to make all games the same everywhere you go. So we're going to learn."

Parts of a wedding, musically
- The Prelude is light, background music that is played while guests arrive and are being seated. This can be classical, popular, or a mix of both. It's customary for 15 - 30 minutes of prelude music immediately before the ceremony.
- The Processional is the music played for the wedding party as they walk down the aisle. Typically, there will be one or two selections for the parents and grandparents, bridesmaids and groomsmen, and one selection for the bride.
- There's often music for parts of the ceremony itself, like a unity candle or sand ceremony. This can be more complex for Catholic Masses, or traditional Jewish weddings.
- The Recessional is played once the couple is announced and as they are leaving. This can be classical or popular, and music usually lasts until all guests have exited.
- Cocktail Hour. This can be Pop, Jazz, Classical, or a mix of all three, and is usually more upbeat.
- Dinner music. Usually Jazz or Classical, and often more subdued.
How does the planning process work?
Planning a wedding can be intimidating, but planning the music should be fun! We consult with you every step of the way and are always available by phone and e-mail.
Most couples book between 6 and 12 months ahead of time. We recommend booking as early possible, as dates can fill up quickly.
Once we have a date confirmed, we'll start by picking out or narrowing down music selections for the ceremony itself. If you're not sure where to start, we'll make suggestions once we chat briefly on the phone to find out more about the overall feel you are looking for. Our music library is very large, but if you have something in mind that we don't have already, we'll add it to our library at no cost to you. For songs where no arrangements exist, many couples have commissioned us for custom arrangements of a song that is special to them. This is done at reasonable rates and overall cost depends on how complex the song is.
We'll then touch base a few weeks before hand to confirm music selections and to gather any other information we'll need for timing the ceremony. Finally, on the day of, we'll work directly with your event planner, officiant, future mother in law, or anyone else you choose to make sure the music integrates flawlessly.
Do you attend rehearsals?
This is usually not necessary - we have performed at countless weddings and are skilled at timing the music just right. We only recommend sending a single musician if cost isn't an object, or if it's necessary to coordinate with in house church musicians.
What's the difference in sound between a String Quartet, String Trio and String Duo?
Depending on whether the venue is indoors or outdoors, the number of guests and song selections, one ensemble may work better than another. In general, a String Quartet (2 violins, viola and cello) gives the fullest, most complex sound and has the largest repertoire available, including Pop and Jazz. A String Trio (2 violins and cello) is similar, but more sparse. Some popular pieces are only arranged for quartet, so a trio is slightly more limited for choice of music. A duo is more suited for ceremony and background music, and is limited to only classical music -- think "classy dinner hour".
Will you perform outdoors?
Absolutely! There are a couple of requirements, however, to protect our instruments: Full shade, shelter from any precipitation and temperatures between 60 - 90 degrees.
Which musicians will be playing?
Our core "family" of musicians is the same that you see and hear on our website. All consultation and planning is handled personally by Michael and Matthew, and rarely when scheduling conflicts arise, the group will be lead by one of our expert musicians who you hear in our recordings. Rest assured that unlike some groups, we never play with amateurs or students. When you hire an ensemble from Two Rivers Chamber Music for your wedding or event, you will always be in good musical hands.
What will the musicians wear?
Typically, men will be in a black tux and ladies in formal black. However, we're flexible and can work to match whatever look and feel you have in mind. We're always looking for excuses to add fun bow ties to the collection!

Love to drink that glass of warm milk or are you more of a curd only person? No matter which one you like more, you may still have wondered countless time if one is healthier than the other. Well, it's hard to differentiate one from the other as milk and curd are very closely connected. Both of them are dairy products. While one is milk itself, other is a product of milk. These days you will be able to find several varieties of both milk and curd, ranging from low fat to milk varieties with different sugar levels. The benefits of milk and curd are countless but when it comes to choosing a winner among them, it becomes little difficult. So which of the two is healthier? Let's find out.
Since there are countless varieties of milk and curd available, their calorie content depends directly on the amount of sugar and fat they have. While around 250 ml of fat free milk contains around 90 calories and 9g of protein, a cup of fat free curd may have over 98 calories and 11 g of protein. Because curd contains more calories and more protein, curd is a heathier choice for you.
Both milk and curd are good sources of vitamin B-12 and vitamin A. A cup of fat free curd or milk contains around 8% vitamin-B12 and 2% vitamin A. Since the recommended daily intake of vitamin B-12 and vitamin A for adults are 2.4 mcg and around 1.3 mg respectively, both curd and milk are healthy for you as far as vitamin intake is concerned.
Milk seems to be winning on this front as it contains more calcium than curd, however curd leads in some other crucial minerals. A cup of fat free curd has around 8% calcium, 15% sodium, 2% magnesium and 2% potassium. While a cup of fat free milk has around 12% calcium, 1% sodium, 2% magnesium and 4% potassium.
Although, there is not much difference, however if we have to choose a clear winner here, it has to be curd. But instead of regular curd, you should go for fat free curd as it offers less calories and fat and almost the same amount of minerals and vitamins. Take around 250 ml of fat free curd every day to add these vitamins and mineral to your daily diet.
While both curd and milk are healthy foods for almost anybody, there are certain situations when you should avoid curd. People suffering from bloating, constipation, arthritis, asthma, and lactose intolerance should avoid curd.

While bands like Gogol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box have attracted attention both in their hometown of New York City and abroad, there are several other great Eastern European folk bands from the New York area mining gypsy and Balkan music. Romashka is on the short list to be the next big thing coming up in the scene. Led by Lithuanian-born singer Inna Barmash, who first co-founded the Klez Dispensers and has appeared with several other Eastern European bands, Romashka is straight out of the Romanian and Russian gypsy traditions. The band cranks it up with high-energy tunes for folks to dance to during its live shows, although it will occasionally brings it down for a slow ballad to keep the romance alive. The group's self-titled debut came out in 2005 and gained strong notices. Barmash has even been compared to Edith Piaf because of the strong voice and passion she brings to the songs, but, still in her 20s, she smiles and bounces around as much as the rest of the band, dispelling any thoughts of an icy, diva-like stage persona. The rest of the nine-piece band is made up of players with resumes at least as strong the singer's (Flying Karamazov Brothers, Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road, Frank London). The band is currently working on its second CD, though there is no title or release date at this time. For those who can't wait, the first album is available through CD Baby and iTunes.

Just as Mexico's World Cup hopes teetered and tottered the past few years, so did those of Rafael Márquez.
After a stirring seven-year stint with Barcelona, the super-talented and somewhat temperamental star finished a disastrous turn in the MLS in 2012. His time with the New York Red Bulls was marred by injuries and in-fighting -- he only played in half of his team's games during his three seasons -- and he left the Big Apple with a bad taste in his mouth.
Márquez was left off the national team roster for several friendlies in the lead-up to the World Cup, and it was only Victor Manuel Vucetich, Mexico's third coach in 2013, who invited Márquez back to the squad.
After struggling mightily during qualifying, 'El Tri' barely earned a trip to Brazil. Normally a shoo-in, Mexico had to defeat New Zealand in a playoff for one of the final spots in the tournament.
But now the team is shining, and Márquez has played no small part in his country's success. Márquez opened the scoring in his team's crucial group-stage victory against Croatia with a header in the 72nd minute. He assisted Javier Hernández on the team's final score in the 3-1 victory.
Márquez's goal makes him the first Mexican player to score in three consecutive World Cups.
Perhaps even more impressive is that Márquez is once again wearing the captain's armband for his country. According to the New York Times he is the first player in the tournament's 84-year history to captain his squad at four World Cups.
"He's a man with experience and a man who knows how to talk with us," defender Miguel Layún told the Times. "It's really important, the job he has at this World Cup."
Márquez is a fluid player who has helped out in the midfield and in attacking set pieces. His versatility makes him invaluable for a team that has gone through significant flux over the past year. But perhaps his most significant contribution to this team may be his leadership. Having seen Mexico through three World Cups, Márquez knows what to expect from the biggest stage.
And now the 35-year-old is tasked with his biggest challenge of all. In this, likely his final tournament, his team drew defending runner-up Netherlands in the round of 16. If Mexico want to advance past the round of 16 for the first time since 1986, it'll have to do so by taking down the hottest team in the tournament.

Notices of decision: Wording of decisions about whether National Insurance contributions paid in excess of maximum
DANSP24700 explains that appealable decisions can be issued which tell a person whether there has been a payment of National Insurance contributions (NIC) in excess of the maximum specified in regulation 21 of the Regulations, see NIM37010.
Persons named in a decision
The decision should name the person who considers they have paid NIC in excess of the maximum. Where Classes 2, 3 or 4 NIC are in question, only the person who paid the NIC should be named.
Where primary Class 1 NIC have been paid, name the primary contributor. Do not name the secondary contributor. If necessary, in a covering letter, tell the primary contributor what NIC have been paid and in which employment.
Period covered by a decision
When you issue such a decision refer to the tax year(s) in which the NIC were paid.
Example of wording
The examples below apply the legal requirements and general principles for wording decisions in DANSP29200 and DANSP29300.
Wording of decision
My decision is that:
In the 2007/08 tax year you did not pay contributions in excess of the annual maximum.
Commentary on decision
Before issuing the decision HMRC should have told the contributor
- what the annual maximum is,
- how the annual maximum is calculated, and
- how much the contributor has paid.

We believe that it is absolutely unacceptable to have 95% of characters with disabilities played by actors without disabilities. It is a matter of social justice to have a large segment of our population authentically represented in the mass entertainment that is television and scripted, dramatized stories. It is necessary to create an environment where actors with disabilities have access to play characters with disabilities. It is also necessary to reduce stigma surrounding "invisible" disabilities such as addiction and mental illness. Only by having actors who are open about those disabilities will we slowly create a society that doesn't shun or shame a vast segment of its population. We have to tell stories about people with a variety of disabilities and we have to be fair in representing them accurately. Only then will we have more realistic stories that reflect our society.
We will not choose a number and say that this is how many characters with disabilities need to be played by actors with disabilities. But we are saying that it's about time we start ensuring that it's more than 5%.

Ohio Republican lawmakers are grumbling about President Obama's decision to fly into Mansfield Lahm Airport tomorrow – the same airport that houses an Air National Guard Base that Obama has proposed shuttering.
Ohiolawmakers are grumbling about President Obama's decision to fly into Mansfield Lahm Airport tomorrow – the same airport that houses an Air Natioanl Guard Unit that the president has proposed eliminating.
Obama this year released a budget that would cut Air Guard bases around the country and eliminate the 179th Air National Guard Wing in Mansfield – cuts that lawmakers say would also eliminate 800 jobs at the base. The White House is quick to point out that should the proposal go through, the base wouldn't close - there'd still be 200th Red Horse Squadron, a civil engineering unit, for example.
During a White House briefing earlier today, Ann Compton of ABC News asked Press Secretary Jay Carney about the decision to fly into Mansfield. "I'm not aware of the policy implications of the issue you're discussing," Carney replied.
"It's amazing that this administration did not realize the President would be landing at the very airport his administration wants to shut down -which would be the end result of his plan to cancel the C-27J cargo aircraft program," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Urbana. "Obviously the White House is not aware of the good work done by the men and women of the 179th Airlift Wing, many of whom recently returned from a first-of-its-kind resupply mission in Afghanistan."
"If President Obama has his way, his Air Force One arrival would be one of the final flights into Mansfield-Lahm Airport," said Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. " Despite numerous reports highlighting the value of the 179th, and the critical capability they and their C-27J aircraft provide to our deployed soldiers, President Obama wants to do away with the mission for the 800 Guardsmen at the base. Time and again, these Ohioans have answered the call to serve. They must be pretty frustrated to see the president drop into town, ignore their award-winning work, and fail to give them a straight answer about his plans to end their important mission."
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, meanwhile, said he hopes that Obama tomorrow "will get a better sense of just how vital the C-27J program is to the Air National Guard Base at Mansfield and the economy of north-central Ohio."
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a Defense spending bill in July that restored money for the bases. President Obama had threatened to veto that bill, but the bill passed the House by veto-proof margins. Both the House and Senate have included language in their draft Defense Authorization bills freezing the retirement of the Guard aircraft for a year in order to have the proposals re-evaluated.
The Mansfield Guard Base has been targeted before; in 2005, it narrowly escaped closure through the base realignment and closure process.
It's not the first time this year Obama has flown into an Ohio base being threatened by budget cuts. In March, Obama flew into Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, which could lose some 200 jobs because of the loss of six KC-135s there. While Obama was there, Rep. Steve Austria, R-Beavercreek, handed him a letter protesting the cuts.
In all, Obama's fiscal 2013 budget – which has not passed Congress – would propose cuts of more than 1,000 National Guard jobs in Ohio, including 800 in Mansfield.
Updated: White House spokeswoman Joanna Rosholmsaid the White House made the tough decision to nix the C-27Js because they feel the larger C-130 aircraft can do the job just as effectively. The proposal came out of recommendations from Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The president, she said, "is committed to working with the Department of Defense to find a mission for Mansfield Lahm Air National Guard Base, so that the men and women who serve there can continue to make their important contribution to ournational security."
She didn't specify what sort of mission Obama has in mind, but Brown, a Mansfield native, appears to be willing to hold the administrationto that commitment. "While the proposed elimination of the C-27Jis concerning, the news of a follow-on mission is very encouraging," he said.
Meanwhile, this bon mot from Ohio Republican Party Chair Robert Bennett: "Punching someone in the stomach and then asking them for their lunch money probably won't go over well with people in Mansfield."

Chris | California | 11/05/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I like this CD a lot, but it's not one of those you can really listen to on the way to school and all. It's more of like cleaning up the house music. But anyways, there's a lot catchy and amusing songs. The lyrics are really original too. Every song is like walking in the mind of a loony tune. "Woman in the Wall" sounds like something from Edgar Allan Poe. There are songs about showbiz, politics, criminals, and of course, it even has those mushy love songs! I cant stop singing "I love you but you're boring" in the shower. All the songs are unique and entertaining. I must say, I've never heard anything quite like it. Frankly, it's bizzare, but in a friendly way. It's definately worth a listen. But if you're really going to buy it, I suggust you get the Japanese import. It's got some bonus tracks that are must haves."
Why aren't they big in the US?
media-dawood | jacksonville, fl United States | 02/10/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The best work by TBS. Woman in the Wall and You Keep It All In are my two favorites. I meet few people in the US who dig this band. Youn can't compare this original band to anyone, they don't have as much as that "pop" sound as Heatens old band The Housemartins did. When will these guys get big? Who knows I didn't here of them until 1994 and they have been my favorite since. This album is better then the gloomy Choke which I like a lot but many songs seem to be about vomiting and loving ones self and not as cheerful as 0898. Buy it you should like it."
Twisted Little Stories
Bookie | Portland, OR | 06/22/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I love this CD. I got it in the Nineties and couldn't put it down for a while. Each song is like a twisted little story that stays with you long after you listen to it. The lyrics are not only clever and catchy, they're also frequently funny. And the lite, upbeat, happy-sounding tunes defy the darkness in the lyrics--it's a winning combination. I thought of it today because I picked up a CD by a guy named Daniel Powter and thought, What does this remind me of? Then it hit me: Welcome to the Beautiful South (but not completely--more like the Beautiful South meets Macy Gray)."

1989, I was 3 but the Game Boy was just born.
I vividly remember growing up around the Nintendo Game Boy as a child. Older cousins had this cool device which had Mario, Zelda and Final Fantasy games on it on the go. There was only one problem it was ridiculously hard to see unless you played around good lights. It had no backlight. In 2017 if a device came out with no way to see it, well it wouldn't be much of a device. I ran across this Original Game Boy in a local Pawn Shop for a decent price, few scratches here and there also came with a game. Unable to summon the will to pass it up I purchased it.
Quickly I made my way home just so I could turn it on and play.
Come to find out, my eyes are nowhere what they use to be. Realizing that my eyesight has taken a huge hit.
Staring at 1080p monitors and 144hz HD screens all day gaming in super HD. Then jumping to a tiny screen with a green canvas.
Being so used to a backlight these days that it's just standard in every device we have now. Smartphones, Laptops, Tablets.. etc.
It was hard to adjust, but the awesomeness of having real hardware was still there, the buttons felt great, the sound was loud enough and it was still fun as heck to play.
Super Mario Land 2
I went to my local/favorite retro game store, Wizards
Wizards is an awesome place where people come together to play Magic the gathering and other various board/dice/card games. but they also deal in retro games which
But they also deal in retro games which is the even bigger draw to me.
Luckily they had a copy of one of my favorite games on the system. Super Mario Land 2, I was super excited to finally be able to own this game and play it on my upgraded Gameboy.
The blue backlight shined amazing, and I was able to play this game at night.
Completing the mod
The backlight mod wasn't difficult for me to complete. Although I've had many years of working on several electronics and soldering. I would rate it as an easy-medium level of difficulty.
Lots of small parts, just bundle them together each layer you take off.
A good rule of thumb is ALWAYS to test your mod before you put everything back together.
Worth every minute and penny!
After completing the backlight mod
I really set into playing Super Mario Land. Unfortunately, it was extremely easy well until the LAST WORLD. I don't know what happens but the difficulty goes up a ton! Literally trying to beat the last stage almost every night before bed. I would progress further and further. Till my 4yr old son decided he wanted to turn Mario into a bomb and erase all my progress.
I haven't played it since….
Where to get the backlight mod?
I ordered mine off of eBay, which I realized from a very cool site called https://handheldlegend.com/
They have all sorts of cool stuff. The next piece I'm ordering is the bivert and glass screen. This will make the pixels look sharper and well the glass is just much better than that plastic screen.
I don't know what it is, I know I can play all retro games on my computer but it's not the same. There is something magically about hold the real hardware and playing the games on it. Emulators are still not 100% accurate but they are awfully close. This is why I have almost all the consoles I want already now I just need the games. It really sucks that retro gaming is so expensive in 2017, that is why there are alternatives such as the everdives.
What's next?
I've been dying to do a GameBoyZero project. I've been ordering parts but it looks like everything is back ordered that I need to complete it as of right now. While I have already been printing brackets and ordering parts that I can order. The project will take quite a while, I believe it will be worth it to have an awesome portable emulation station. Especially one that looks like an original Gameboy!
For now, I'm going to order me a nice everdrive and enjoy my backlight mod and play some original GameBoy games in 2017 style.

Former law firm partner Keila Ravelo was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday for conspiring to defraud her former law firms and client out of $7.8 million using bogus litigation vendors.
U.S. District Judge Kevin McNulty of the District of New Jersey imposed the sentence on Ravelo, a former partner at Hunton & Williams and Willkie Farr & Gallagher, along with three years of supervised release.
The judge appeared to be splitting the parties' recommendations. The government had recommended Ravelo be sentenced to six years, while Ravelo asked for four years.
Ravelo, who is 52, is anticipated to surrender by January. She was recommended for FPC Alderson, a minimum-security federal prison for women in West Virginia, and she was permitted to participate in a residential drug abuse program. In court documents, Ravelo's attorneys point to a "long-term prescription drug addiction."
Ravelo's sentence is one year longer than that of Melvin Feliz, her now-estranged husband who pleaded guilty to taking part in the same scheme and has agreed to a four-year sentence for his crimes. He will serve that sentence consecutively to a 10-year sentence for a separate narcotics charge.
Ravelo was first arrested alongside Feliz in December 2014. New Jersey federal prosecutors said the two used bogus litigation vendor companies to obtain more than $7.8 million from Willkie and Hunton & Williams and their client, MasterCard. They said she used her partner position at the law firms to submit false invoices and funnel millions of dollars to the vendors, which provided no services.
Federal prosecutors said Ravelo and Feliz put most of the money into a joint bank account and used it for personal expenses and investments. Prosecutors also said Ravelo and Feliz, after swindling nearly $8 million, failed to pay $2 million in taxes.
As part of a plea deal, Ravelo pleaded guilty in November 2017 to one count each of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and tax evasion.
While Ravelo argued she should receive a four-year sentence like Feliz, whom she called the "architect and primary beneficiary" of the scheme, McNulty appeared to take into account the prosecution's arguments that Ravelo abused her position of trust to commit the crime.
It was Ravelo, not Feliz, who was a partner at Hunton and then Willkie and who had built relationships with the firms and the client, prosecutors said, and it was Ravelo who manipulated the payment mechanisms to keep the conspiracy going.
Prosecutors said Ravelo went to great lengths to keep the conspiracy going. For instance, they said, Ravelo posed as the head of one of the bogus vendors and lied to her law firm and each of her partners in order to cover up and extend the conspiracy. They also said Ravelo used people over whom she had influence to help hide her illegal activity, including at one point causing an associate she led to submit a summary chart detailing alleged vendor work product to Willkie.
The government said in 2012, after Willkie almost detected the activity, she orchestrated the payment of the bills through an accounting firm that would be reimbursed by the law firm.
Prosecutors said she used the money for a "lifestyle of the rich and famous," owning multiple properties in New York, New Jersey and Florida, buying valuable artwork and jewelry and spending lavishly on private jet airplanes and vacations.
Ravelo, in court documents, said she has accepted responsibility for her actions and made no excuses for her conduct, but she also placed blame on Feliz. She claims he abused and manipulated her and it was Feliz who initiated the fraudulent scheme and opened and operated the two litigation support companies that served for his benefit.
Ravelo said her professional success was a point of contention throughout her "troubled, abusive marriage" to Feliz, and she "worked hard to help Melvin succeed in his business endeavors so that he would no longer feel animosity" toward her.
The government argued Ravelo was aware of and involved in the conspiracy since 2008, but Ravelo claimed she did not join in the conspiracy until 2012.
When she learned that Feliz "had not, in fact, been providing much of the work product that he had been paid to provide for Willkie (and, in turn, MasterCard), I pleaded with him to make it right by producing the work. He did not," she said, according to court documents. "But instead of reporting him, as I should have, I helped to cover up his fraud. To say that this was an extremely poor decision is an understatement, and I make no excuses for it. I was stupid and wrong."
Going forward, Ravelo "intends to put this tragic experience to good use by teaching and warning the next generation of lawyers, business people and anyone who will benefit from her story—including women in dire situations of bullying, manipulation and verbal and emotional abuse," according to her court documents.
Ravelo was represented by Gibbons attorneys Lawrence Lustberg and John Haggerty, as well as Steve Sadow, special counsel at Schulten Ward Turner & Weiss. Sadow and Lustberg declined to comment on the sentence.

One of the cool things about kayaking in a small lake is that you can get an amazing upper body workout while actually having fun. Lifting weights is a good way to get your upper body toned but it can be so darn boring. Rowing yourself around in a small kayak can be a simple way to work your upper body.
Kayaking around a lake is a lot of fun and you can see the sights from angles not possible when landlocked. When you are taking in the sights you also get a great upper body work out by rowing yourself around in the kayak.
Kayaking is also a great way to get aerobic exercise. If you want to work your lungs aerobically and get the blood pumping rapidly then all you need to do is row rapidly. As you paddle hard your body, especially your upper body, will get an amazing workout.
You can buy inexpensive kayaks from many companies including Campmor. Campmor also sells some inflatable kayak styled rafts that work just as well to get exercise and work your upper body muscles as you tour the waterways.
A small hard sided kayak can easily be transported with most passenger cars including smaller cars such as the Kia Rio. You can easily buy mounting kits and stick it on top of your car safely and secure.
Kayaking can be a great exercise regardless of your age or physical conditioning. If you want to make it a family activity you can buy a 2 or 3 person canoe or kayak and then you can row around the lake with your wife and child. Your kid will not even realize they are exercising.
This is a great way to get your obese child to exercise but if your child is too obese you may be afraid to take him out onto the water in the same kayak as you are in.
Kayaking is a great way to work your upper body. If you are looking into wanting to get a more toned upper body but are reluctant to pay out the money for a new kayak then go camping by a lake. Many popular lake areas have businesses where you can rent a Kayak for the afternoon. Once you rent a kayak and try it out I am sure you will be hooked and be surfing online looking for a kayak to buy.

From Outback to Outer Space: Records about Woomera at the National Archives...
Discover the fascinating history of Woomera, and its part in the space race, in the collections of the National Archives of Australia.
You can see many items from the NAA's Woomera collection currently on display in the exhibition, From Outback to Outer Space: Woomera 1955–1980, at the State Library of South Australia. However there is a much wider range of records about Woomera available including documents, plans, photographs and film.
Highlights of the collection include Cabinet decisions and Prime Ministerial correspondence concerning the Anglo-Australian Joint Project, records documenting the initial construction of the town and subsequent social life, migration records of the people who worked in Woomera, administrative and technical files relating to Defence and space research projects and even files relating to UFO sightings and anonymous and eccentric letters addressed to WRE Woomera.
This presentation will explore some of these highlights and provide information about how you can access these records to research this fascinating history further.

text: Not sure if this is a silly question but on Race Department it says that RD has been around since 2006. Yet when I go through league history. I can't find any results before 2009 and some leagues don't have a database for results before a certain season. Where are the RD old results? Does RD delete database entriees of leagues? Or an I just blind? XD

Hiring an Architect - Great Value Begins With a Great Home Design
A good architect or residential designer can make your new or existing home unique. If you're looking for a truly custom home for a new building project, a home designer has the experience and tools you need.
It's an investment in quality and comfort.
Question: When should we hire an architect ... and why?
The quick and easy answer to this question is; every time you build a new home or plan a home addition. Architects are creators, designers, and structural professionals. Many will also work with structural engineers and even interior designers.
Custom home building demands custom design. And, with a major remodel where additions are planned, you will most certainly require some form of home design professional. You cannot expect to get what you want or match the look and functionality of your home without a home designer.
Home Designing Exceptions That Work
Rarely are home building answers black and white and as simple as saying "do this ... don't do that." And, when it comes to home plans, you definitely have other options besides hiring an architect.
Online and off, there are pre-drawn house plans for homes in nearly every size, style, and quality you can imagine. Some of them are quite good. You can find quality construction, good design, and very competitive pricing. But, the one thing you give up the most is having a true custom home. That's something to consider before you purchase.
Why an Architect Could be Your Best Bet
Here are some popular reasons to hire an architect to design your home:
Local codes & restrictions may require a local & licensed architect
You want a truly custom home designed to your specifications
You want a skilled designer to wow you!
You want ongoing design support during your construction
If you do use an architect, get clear on what you want early in the process to avoid lengthy and expensive re-works on the design.


text: With the rise of multi-core processors, concurrency has become increasingly common. The broader use of concurrency, however, has been accompanied by new challenges for programmers, who struggle to avoid race conditions and other concurrent memory access hazards when writing multi-threaded programs. The problem with concurrency is that many programmers have been trained to think sequentially, so when multiple threads execute concurrently, they struggle to visualize those threads executing in parallel. When two threads attempt to access the same unprotected region of memory concurrently (one reading, one writing) logical inconsistencies can arise in the program, which can yield security concerns that are hard to detect.

Black bean chili with ground elk
Don't have specifics on measurements, so here is an approximation for most:
3-4 cups black beans, dried
1 lb ground elk
4 cups turkey stock
1 heaping dollop garlic
1 onion, diced
chili seasoning mix
1 large tomato, diced
I put the beans in my 6 qt crock pot, rinsed them, drained and then covered them with water and let them soak over night. The next morning they filled the crock to a bit over half.
I put the crock in the cooker after draining off the water. I then added 4 cups of turkey stock (you can use beef stick, vegetable stock or simply water. I have LOTS of turkey stock in the freezer). While that was heating up I diced the onion and sauteed it in a little olive oil. Added those to the pot and then browned the elk.
I didn't need to drain the elk, it is very lean. In fact I had to add a little oil when I started browning it. So into the pot went the elk, followed by a can of tomato sauce, half a can of water, a few pinches of kosher salt and a big dollop of already diced garlic (my favorite cheat). I then started sprinkling in some chili seasoning I was given a while back then let the crock pot do it's job.
I would periodically check to see how the seasoning was and added more until it was to just where I could taste it. Since the hubby can't do spicy I did have to keep this fairly mild tho it was enough to get hubby's attention.
I then diced up a very large home grown tomato I was given and into the pot it went and more simmering was to be had.
Having to smell it all afternoon was enough to drive you crazy, it smelled so good. But the wait was worth it. A little cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top and it was a dinner to die for. I made enough for lunches this week and to have some stashed in the freezer for a quick dinner on a cold night.

Oct. 7 (Saturday)
*Samford at VMI (ESPN3), 1:30 p.m.
*Western Carolina at Wofford (ESPN3), 1:30 p.m.
*Mercer at The Citadel (ESPN3), 2 p.m.
Robert Morris at ETSU (ESPN3), 3:30 p.m.
*Furman at Chattanooga (ESPN3), 4 p.m.
• After a 45-7 road win at Chattanooga on Saturday, Western Carolina entered the national rankings for the first time since 2006 when it debuted at No. 22 in the STATS FCS Top 25 on Monday. The Catamounts are 4-1 on the year with their lone loss coming at FBS Hawai'i to open the season.
• Three league teams continue to be nationally ranked in both major polls this week. Wofford leads the way for the SoCon at No. 5 in both polls, while The Citadel slipped to No. 17 in both after falling at Samford. Samford, meanwhile, used the win to jump to No. 20 in both rankings. Western Carolina, which is No. 22 in the STATS poll, is the first team out in the coaches poll.
• At 4-0, Wofford is one of just nine remaining undefeated FCS teams this season.
• Western Carolina quarterback Tyrie Adams and defensive back Marvin Tillman were named the SoCon's September offensive and defensive athletes of the month for football, respectively.
• Samford quarterback Devlin Hodges, a redshirt junior, is the SoCon's career leader in completion percentage (69.5) and 400-yard passing games (five).
• Mercer's Alex Lakes became the program's career rushing yards leader with 46 Saturday against VMI. He surpassed former quarterback John Russ' mark of 2,335 yards in the third quarter. Lakes also tied another one of Russ' records with his 30th career rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.
• VMI played its 500th Southern Conference game in program history Saturday. The Citadel will be next to hit the milestone, as the Bulldogs have played 498 league games in their history.
• Chattanooga used three quarterbacks in Saturday's loss to Western Carolina after injuries to starter Alejandro Bennifield (first quarter) and Nick Tiano (fourth quarter). Bennifield, the SoCon's preseason second-team all-conference quarterback, made his first start of the season after serving a four-game NCAA suspension for academic issues.
• ETSU quarterback Austin Herink threw for a school-record 434 yards in Saturday's 56-35 loss at Furman. Herink also matched his career high with three passing touchdowns, and his 78-yard touchdown pass to Hunter Wike was the ninth-longest scoring pass play in program history.
• Furman quarterback P.J. Blazejowski leads the FCS with 11.40 yards per pass attempts, while Western Carolina quarterback Tyrie Adams is fourth nationally with 9.88 yards per attempt.
• The Citadel leads the nation in time of possession, as the Bulldogs hold the ball for 37:24 per contest.
• After five of the first six SoCon games this season were decided by one possession, none of the four league games last week was closer than 21 points. Since the start of the 2013 season, 59 of 134 (.440) league games have been decided by one possession.

10/30/2012 Update:
News articles available:
The Merc has their story up. (pdf)
The San Mateo Daily Journal has their story up. (pdf) This one is the better of the two.
10/29/2012 Evening Update:
Additional notes about Amanda Gregory's testimony earlier in the day:
Amanda included interviews with Solveig Ayres and Barbara Ayres as part of the process that she used to determine ayres' competency. (Because there's nothing better than input from a biased spouse and child worried about their share of the inheritance to gauge dementia.)
Amanda was not swayed by McIlnay's report, as his report made no reference to the difficulties that ayres was having, and doesn't include findings of dementia.
Prosecutor McKowan made references to a 2005 study about malingering, showing that ALL parts of the testing procedures are available on the internet, and that armed with such information, a person could "pass" tests to detect malingering. Amanda said she lookd at the internet but couldn't find it. (G... G... G... G.... G.... G... G .. Google it!)
More on Shyster McDougall's testimony:
In discussing his fears that he would be fired, McDougall reported that the ayres family bickered and argued over why they had to pay Amanda Gregory and others for their opinions, after Solveig took over the finances.
McDougall was questioned by the other defense attorney Bentley: He asked extensively about the "inuendos" that were made by the Prosecutor about McDougall providing information to ayres about faking dementia. (Oh, no! Certainly not!)
McDougall insists that ayres said that he wanted to go to trial to clear his name. When questioned about staff reports that ayres had said that he didn't want to be restored to competency, because he would be found guilty and have to go to prison, McDougall said that he hadn't heard about any of that. He claims that he did not read THOSE reports, but instead left those to Bentley to read. (So that he wouldn't have to discuss the matter on the stand.) When asked about the opinion that ayres didn't want to be "restored to competency" because he didn't want to go to trial again, McDougall disagreed with the conclusion, and said that it sounded to him like ayres was acting like someone who was tired of being locked up in Napa.
Prosecutor McKowan further hammered on ayres' ability to fake dementia by mentioning that ayres had had several close friends or relatives who had Alzheimer's and therefore would know some of the symptoms very well.
After the afternoon recess, the judge was presented with a binder with all of the reports, and we learned that the defense witnesses have finished, and so the prosecution began calling their witnesses in the afternoon. Dr. Paul Good will be called at some point in the next day or so as well.
First up for the Prosecution was Dr. Shawna Leppert a Napa Staff Psychologist in the admissions unit. Her job there is evaluation of patients for competency and malingering. She has made more than 150 such evaluations in her time there. She evaluated ayres during the initial month of his stay there, during the period when they actively and aggressively work to "restore" competency if possible.
She said that ayres was unwilling to sit with her for interviews, and declined her proposals to use medications to help restore competency. She reports that at the 28 day evaluation conference with Solveig, Barbara, a staff psychiatrist and a social worker present, when they urged ayres to try some of the programs to help restore competency, he again refused, and at that point asked why he should, that he'd just end up going to prison. Eventually, she got ayres to take the anti-psychotic medication, and said that he was showing some improvement but then after 9 days, he began complaining about side effects, and stopped taking the medication.
Leppert reported that ayres was guarded and defensive, not willing to answer questions, and that he was VERY vocal about his alleged deficits. At one point ayres even told her that he "had a serious lack of capacity to remember anything." (Huh. How about that.)
Leppert tried to get ayres to participate in an incentive program in which they get a card that entitles them to some kind of extra snack or treat if they get the card signed by participating in one of the group restoration sessions or other treatment processes. ayres was told that if he forgot the card when he went to a session, he could get it and bring it later for a signature. ayres told her that he didn't understand the process. He did go to a session and forgot his card. Without reminder, he later brought the card to have it signed. Leppert says this is proof that ayres' is retaining short term memory.
In another example, Leppert detailed an instance that ayres was playing the board game "Sorry" with another inmate. ayres indicated that he didn't think he'd be able to play, but the game rules were explained to him. He beat the inmate at the game. Later Leppert asked to play with him, and he acted like he wouldn't know how to play, but his game strategy was sound.
The last person to testify for the afternoon was Dr. McIlnay.
McIlnay is also a forensic doctor, and his specific specialty is also assessment of competency and malingering. He had performed 150 to 200 such evaluations. He states that because of the nature of the institution, there is a fairly high (15% - 20%) instance of people found to be malingering. He also stated however, that the ayres case was presented to him as a "very unlikely to be restored to competence" case.
He stated that he was assigned the case, and that nobody wanted to take the case, as it was likely to be complex and difficult; a whole lot of work. He was told that he needed to produce a report within only a few days, but due to delays from other reports, it took longer than that.
McIlnay reviewed all internal Napa reports as well as all of the reports provided by San Mateo County. He interviewed ayres five times taking about 10 hours to do so. He states that by the third interview he began to suspect malingering due to discrepancies in answers during all of the testing done, and from the reports about ayres' behavior that he was getting from staff. The doctors used a "Global Assessment of Functioning" test at various times, and the inconsistant results were another red flag for McIlnay: Dr. Sutherland tested ayres several times, and he scored 60-65, then later 40-50 and finally a 30. When Dr. Warnick tested ayres, he scored a 60. Sutherland presented no justification for the scores that were recorded.
McIlnay made no diagnosis of dementia, as the exaggeration was significant enough to cloud any such diagnosis. He also says that ayres is somewhat depressed, but that he doesn't meet ALL of the criteria for a DSM diagnosis of depression.
McIlnay stated that he takes into account the sophistication of the person being evaluated when assessing all components of the person's behavior.
McIlnay also recounted an episode when ayres was very frustrated about staffing levels, and ayres was feeling afraid and unsafe, and so he went to the head nurse and explained his frustrations, and suggested changes. The head nurse had noticed the problem as well, and so she implemented some changes within a day or so. When ayres noticed that the changes had been made, he sought her out to thank her for fixing the problem. McIlnay stated that this CLEARLY indicates that ayres was very clear-minded about identifying the problem, identifying solutions, understanding system to know who to go to to make sure that the changes were made, and that the had no memory issues remembering what the problem was, and who to thank when the problem was fixed.
Afternoon Courtroom Notes:
Solveig and Barbara were being very noisy in the back of the courtroom, jabbering like piggies, cell phones buzzing, etc. The Sheriff had to go back to shut them up. While McIlnay was driving the point home about ayres' clear ability to make competent decisions, Barbara got up, stomped out, and threw a cup at the garbage can making a ruckus.
Also at some point someone fell asleep and was snoring, but they woke up just as the sheriff was getting up to tell them to wake the hell up. It was either Fake Blind Hat Guy or the rumply looking reporter dude that was sitting there.
McIlnay testimony continues on Tuesday. Earlier morning proceedings are documented below.
NOON Update:
First up on the stand today was Amanda Gregory who testified in ayres' previous competency trial.
Amanda has examined ayres 6 or 7 times, for a total of about 25 hours, and has met with McDougall for another 15 hours. Mostly she answered questions with terse yes/no responses. She feels that ayres is incompetent. No surprise there.
The number of hours she has spent with ayres plays into Prosecutor McKowan's claims that the more time a shrinky-dink spends with a patient, the more sympathetic they are likely to become.
At one point McKowan asked Gregory about her changing the report to indicate that ayres might be malingering, but after the child molester's attorney challenged McKowan on this point, she realized that she was thinking of Sutherland, who testified on Friday. (!?)
william hamilton ayres was arrested on April 5, 2007 on charges relating to his molestation of many young boys while he was alleging to provide psychiatric care to private patients as well as referrals for evaluation from the juvenile court system in San Mateo County. ayres has been delaying his way through the system free from custody until this latest gambit to skirt prosecution by playing demented for the courts. ayres is currently under the conservatorship of his daughter Barbara Ayres of Sacramento, CA.
ayres has had significant interaction over the years with local politicians on boards like the "Children and Families First Commission," including the DA who was serving when prosecution began Jim Fox and Assemblyman Rich Gordon. In fact, Gordon nominated ayres for a lifetime achievement award for his "Tireless effort to improve the lives of children." ayres has also been vocally supported during his criminal trial by local head-shrinkers like Bart Blinder, Etta Bryant, Mel Blaustein, Harry Coren, Tom Ciesla, Robert Kimmich, Larry Lurie, Maria Lymberis, Richard Shadoan, Captane Thomson, and Harold Wallach.
