SW Florida is sub tropical, mild winters and warm/hot and humid summers. Normally Dogs can adjust well to the heat, but since we are somewhat tropical there are some dangers to our pets we need to deal with.
- Heartworms – are being transmitted by mosquitoes and once the dog is infected this is a disease leading to death if untreated. Heartworm treatment is not easy and it is painful for the dog. Also during heartworm treatment the dog is confined to short walks only and needs to rest for several month. However there is a very effective prevention. It is a once a month pill or topical which will not harm the healthy dog but will protect against heartworm infection. I use heartguard plus but there are many other effective preventive medications. Please read more: https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics
- Fleas and Ticks – since we don't have hard winters in SW Florida we are basically dealing with Fleas and Ticks all year around. I have my own dogs on a monthly treatment and have the flea and tick prevention on the same schedule as the heart worm prevention. I dislike topical prevention and don't like the flea and tick collars either – out of my experience none of them work really good. It seems to me as if our SW Florida fleas love those or at least don't care to leave. I personally use Nex Gard which is a chewing pill and my dogs love it. They think it is a treat. (Please don't tell them should you see them)
- Bufo Toads – are very unpleasant "frogs" and can be deadly for your pet. Often dogs like to "play" with them and poison themselves while doing so. The skin of the toad is toxic. Please read more here: Bufo Toad Tips
- Alligators and snakes – I live in Florida since over 25 years and always with dogs. None of my dogs ever had an encounter with snakes or alligators. It seems like they have a natural instinct and are avoiding contact. However I would not chance it and watch my dogs very carefully around fresh or brackish water.
- Heat – not to leave dogs in the car is a "no brainer" . In Florida this is true for every season – not only for summer. In summer month I limit training my dogs or taking them for long walks to early morning or later afternoon. I always carry plenty of water for the dogs and myself and if I really have to take them to training or longer hikes during the hottest time of the day, they are wearing cooling vests.
- We have a leash law in Florida- in most parks and stateparks dogs have to be leashed, also of course in public places.We do have however plenty of dog parks and dog beaches where dogs can run without leashes and socialize with other dogs.
- Dogs are not allowed in stores or restaurants, with a few exceptions – and I am happy to say, those exceptions are more and more around.We even now have dog friendly malls and lots of events where you can bring your dog and events all around the dog.
If you are looking for a good boarding kennel and training facility in Lee County – my to go address is: Boarding Kennel and Dog Training There are several other good Kennels and Trainers in our area – but AAS von Tente Kennel is the one I just love to use. The owners of this Kennel are there 24/7/ they have large indoor outdoor kennels and big runs.
If you are considering flying with your dog – just a few tips.
- If it is just a short flight and your dog is small enough to travel in the cabin, I think there is not much you need to do – except to get your dog used to the bag he/she is going to travel in
- Longer flights – no matter how big or small your dog is, I would consider flying him/her cargo. It is more comfortable for your dog and yourself. The secret to a pleasant flight is, to get your dog used to his/her crate. Month before your flight start having the crate open in your living room. Start feeding your dog in his flight box, store his/her toys in the box, hide treats in there and his/her favorite blanket. Very soon your dog will see "his" crate as "good" it will become his/her "nest". When the "big day" arrives – the big flight box will be his/her security and the flight will be ok. Another tip is – get your dog used to drink out of a bunny bottle (the water bottles with a little ball at the end). Specially on longer flights you dog might become thirsty and the bunny bottle attached to the inside of the flight box will help.
All in all my dogs love SW Florida and are very happy here – I have two German Shepherd Dogs 🙂

6th Annual Arrowhead Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner
April 28, 2018
2018 Hall of Fame Inductees
Tyler Donovan, Jackie Mulrooney, Kathy Kamrath, JP Lange,
Bob Mallow, Steve Sarsfield and Brian Steinbach
Thank you to our 2018 Hall of Fame Sponsors
Duranso Roofing Inc., Kleinhans Family, Don Mullett, Jim & Sharon Schaefer, American Family Insurance, Mulrooney Family, and Arrowhead Baseball
Thank you to our 2018 Hall of Fame Advertisers
Arrowhead Baseball, Arrowhead Booster Club, Beer Snobs, Arrowhead Football, Arrowhead Boys Basketball, Master Z's, Bob Groth, Worgull Builders, and Michelle R Olshanski - Edward Jones
Please see the event registration to the right on this page.
A dual-threat quarterback with incredible athleticism and speed, Tyler Donovan was named the 2002 Associated Press High School Player of the Year his senior year. In addition, he received the AHS Senior Athlete of the Year, First-Team All-State QB, First-Team All-Area, Preps Plus Student Athlete Award, Prep Star HS Football All-American Team, and Classic 8 Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Tyler also received numerous accolades as a junior, including All-State Honorable Mention, First Team All-Area, and a NIKE Football Elite Training Camp invite.
Tyler helped lead the Warhawks to two State Championship Runner-up trophies in 2000/2002, and two Classic 8 Football Conference championships in 2001/2002.
In addition to football, Tyler played basketball and baseball during his freshman, sophomore and junior years, and also ran track his freshman year. Unfortunately, he was limited to football as a senior due to a late season ACL injury prior to the State Championship game at Camp Randall.
While many colleges recruited Tyler, it was always his goal to be a quarterback at UW-Madison. As a proud Badger QB, Tyler was a 4-year letterman at Wisconsin. He earned Scout Player of the Year as a freshman, and as a junior, earned UW Player of the Week after making his first start with a win at Iowa, snapping a four-game losing streak to the Hawkeyes. As a senior, Tyler led the 2007 Badgers to nine wins and a January Outback Bowl. He was named the 2007 Offensive MVP, and won the distinguished Wisconsin Alumni Association's Lloyd Larsen Award for Outstanding Badger Football Player. His other honors included All Big Ten Honorable Mention, Big Ten Player of the Week (vs. Washington State), and the Top-Rated Big Ten Senior QB with a Passer Efficiency of 133.96. Tyler and his 2007 senior teammates were all honored to have the winningest record ever (80%), and a record that stood until 2016.
Shortly after graduating (Communications) in 2008, Tyler traveled to Canada to play for the Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL. He later played for the Milwaukee Iron in their 2009 inaugural season in the Arena Football League, but decided not to pursue another season.
Tyler's post-football career took him to Chicago, Illinois where he continues to work for International Capital Investment Company in real estate assets and portfolio management. This last summer, Tyler married his best friend, Megan, and they are expecting their first son in April.

Ryu kidding me?
Old age can be a bummer, but for professional fighters, it's the pits. Just look
at Evander Holyfield. Ten years ago he was young, burly and unstoppable;
now he's 42, can't land a punch to save his life and is developing a rather interesting
speech impediment. Age doesn't
just creep up on fighters, it beats them down.
This is why we feel Capcom needs to stop making Street Fighter games,
period. Their latest, Capcom
Fighting Evolution for the PS2, is the video game equivalent of a Hollywood
Squares episode. Everyone is washed up, no one is having a good time, and
you just wish Capcom would change the damn channel.
game is allegedly an opportunity for hardcore Capcom fans to finally kick Street
Fighter ass as their favorite Dark Stalker, and vice
versa. The five represented games include Street
Fighter II, Street Fighter III, Street
Fighter Alpha, Dark Stalkers and Red
Earth. Since no one aside from the Red Earth developers
has a favorite Red
Earth character, Fighting
Evolution boils down to three flavors of Street
Fighter versus Dark Stalkers.
But get this – there are only four Dark Stalkers characters
to choose from, four Street Fighter II characters,
four Alpha characters,
four Street Fighter III characters, and four (ugh)
Red Earth characters. Ingrid, the only new character, plays
just like SNK's Athena,
which is to say she's a worthless
gimp you'll only use when you're letting your girlfriend beat you. There are
also two unlockable characters, and we aren't going to tell you who they are
because we don't want to ruin what little fun you might find in their discovery.
For a game based on the premise of allowing players to duke it out as their favorite
Capcom fighters, Fighting
Evolution has a conspicuously small, anonymous cast. Is anybody out
there really attached to Urien, the naked rock-guy from Street
Fighter III? Or
what about the awful Red Earth characters? Why were they included
instead of beloved Capcom mascots like Strider, Mega Man and Viewtiful Joe? Regardless, Fighting
questions are best left unanswered.
are a whopping three modes to choose from: Arcade, Versus, and Training. The
Arcade mode is a string of six matches that culminates in a boss fight and then
closes with a bunch of nonsensical, comic-book style panels. In Versus mode you
can fight a friend, and in Training mode you can practice your moves. You can't
play online at all. The number of choices is dismal, as are the modes themselves.
The new spin is that you get to choose two characters for any given fight. You
can't tag in and out like you could in the Marvel
Vs. games,
though. Instead, you just have the option of changing your fighter between
rounds. This method makes learning a new character a bit more viable, as you
can begin a battle with the new guy and then switch to a character you're comfortable
with if you need to win a round.
Even though the various schools are represented poorly by the measly selection
of fighters, they do retain most of their super-moves, super-meters, and signature
moves. Street Fighter III characters can parry high and low attacks as well
as use any of their three super-moves, while Alpha characters can alpha-counter
and Dark Stalkers can strike foes while they're down.
As a result, some of the match-ups can be pretty interesting. For example, Jedah
is highly mobile and has several ranged attacks that can pin down opponents.
While the other Dark Stalkers have some natural defenses against
him, he can be a real tough nut to crack for some of the old Street
Fighter guys.
even such a nuance can't help the game's rough, dated look. As opposed to
redrawing each character and applying some sort of graphical standard, the
game gives you a bunch of different fighters from a bunch of different games
without changing the artwork to reflect any continuity. In turn, some
of them look decent, while others look terrible. The crummy backgrounds are almost
as detailed as those found in the original Street Fighter II,
which is to say they would have looked great in 1991. And though there are plenty
of cameo appearances throughout the various levels, these only serve to remind
you how many characters were left out of Fighting Evolution.
Hey look! It's Sagat in the background! *weep*
The music is typical Street Fighter metal garbage, the sound
effects are the same as they have always been, and there's no voice-acting other
than a typical "Round 1!" announcer. You've heard this game before.
If Capcom Fighting Evolution is any indication of things to
come, then here's to the extinction of the species. There is no reason to buy
or play this game. It's
a thin, worthless piece of spam on a hook that will hopefully be gobbled up
by the countless better games available this holiday season. Even if you get
nothing for Christmas, be thankful you didn't get this.

NVIDIA GTX 690 Review
Mafia II is a third-person shooter that puts you into the shoes of a poor, Sicilian immigrant, Vito Scarletta. Vito has just returned home from serving overseas in the liberation of fascist Italy, to avoiding his jail sentence, to finding his family in debt. The debt must be repaid by the end of the week, and his childhood friend, Joe Barbaro, conveniently happens to have questionable connections that he assures will help Vito clear the debt by that time. As such, Vito is sucked into a world of quick cash. Released in North America for PC in August of 2010, the game was developed by 2K Czech, published by 2K, and uses the Illusion 1.3 game engine.
- 4x AA
- 16x AF
- In-game settings = High
- Ambient Occlusion = On
As expected the GTX 690 delivers great FPS numbers in this game exceeding the results of the GTX 590 in each resolution at stock and overclocked by wide margins. SLI scaling at 5760x1080 is close to 100%.

Quick Buffalo Chicken Chili
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
6 ounces beer (I subbed white wine and chicken stock)
2 T. cayenne pepper hot sauce
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1. Heat a medium Dutch oven or large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and the butter and melt together. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the meat, for 6 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, onion, carrot and jalapeño. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and coriander, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the beer and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Concentrate the flavor of the beer by reducing the mixture over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce and the tomato sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chili for 15 minutes.
Scallion Corn pancakes
Mix a package of corn muffins with 1/3 c. milk and one egg. Stir in 3 scallions, chopped, and a handful of cheddar cheese (Rachael called for blue cheese, but we're not big blue cheese fans).
Heat a nonstick griddle pan or large skillet over medium heat. Nest a small piece of butter in a paper towel and rub over the pan. Drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form at the edges, then flip them and cook until golden all over, about 2 minutes per side.
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey, a healthy drizzle
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, eyeball it
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
Salt and pepper
1 whole celery heart, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 (10-ounce box) frozen corn kernels
1 (15-ounce) can chick peas, drained
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (I only had green)
1/2 small to medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves (I didn't have any, so skipped this)

I'm going to retract the invective I wrote about Gawker a few days back, but just for this post. Gawker's Rumormonger has a lengthy thread on Tucker Max that holds a true literary gem:
The more I thought about it, however, the more the fact that TM is basically lying in his stories began to bother me. His whole hook is that these stories are "true." Anyone could just make this shit up and pass it off as fiction, it would get e-mailed around a few times and be forgotten. But Tucker presents it as true, that it actually happened to him, and it didn't, he's lying and that's unacceptable. What gets Tucker his attention is people going "Man, I can't believe that this actually happened to someone, that shit is so crazy!! I wish I were him." In short, he was interesting because he represented something that many people wish they were but don't really have the balls to be. Unfortunately, he wasn't really that person, Tucker is more a persona than anything else.
The people I know who worship TM, do so because he's "living proof" that a man need not be perfect to score. I'm not a frequent Tucker Max reader (to date, I've read but half of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell) but I've always defended my fascination by arguing that reading his misogynistic stories allowed me to make important sociological-cum-psychological observations about male behavior. But what if his various books, blogs, stories–his entire mythology–were nothing more than a great big fiction?
More importantly, I wonder how many men have dicked their way to success using TM as a placebo?

The Bridge Builder
An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
Through which was flowing a sullen tide,
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fears for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And build a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build you this bridge at the evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head;
"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,
"There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too , must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building the bridge for him!"
by Will Allen Dromgoole

THIS BOOK IS INTENDED as a companion piece to my
last book, Managing Government Employees: How to Motivate Them, Deal
With Difficult Issues and Produce Tangible Results (AMACOM, February
2007). Whenever I gave presentations about that book, people remarked
that it was about time someone wrote a book dealing with the problems
that are unique to the government. It seems that the book has struck a
nerve, and I continue to hear that officials in different sectors of the
government are using it to help them manage their employees.
For example, Managing Government Employees is the one book that
the state of New Jersey recommends for all candidates who are taking the
Sheriff's Promotional Exam. I am truly grateful for the reaction to this
book, since my goal in writing it was to improve the way government is
After completing it, I had no intention of doing a follow-up book.
However, since the first book was written from a ''top-down'' perspective
and many people were urging me to write one from a ''bottom-up'' point
of view, I finally decided to tackle the subject of Managing Your Government
This book is organized into three parts. Part 1 addresses whether
working for the government is right for you and, if it is, how to get into
the government. Part 2 discusses how to get off to a good start, build a
good relationship with your supervisor, and develop some perspective.
The last part is for people who have been with the government for a while
and are trying to make the most of their career. It is the most philosophical
of the three parts, and it talks about looking down the road, deciding
whether management is right for you, balancing your work and family
lives, and personal growth. Feel free to read the book from beginning to
end, or to start with the part that best corresponds to the current stage of
your career.
If there is one overriding theme of this book, it is you need to be in
charge of both your career and your life. I firmly believe that the choices
you make ultimately determine how successful you will be. Moreover, I
also believe that the best way to make sound choices is by (1) being aware
of the ramifications of those choices and (2) living your lives (business
and personal) according to a consistent set of core values.
Of course, that is easier said than done, because life is not simple,
and neither is working for the government. However, if you follow the
guidance contained in this book, which is supplemented by many realworld
examples, I am certain that you will have an excellent career and
avoid the mistakes that so many other people have made and continue to

This particular scene is from a place very near my father's house and the memorial bench for his late wife. He himself has taken many similar photographs of this beautiful spot. I love this piece. Having it printed on the wood gave this piece depth and character, like a painting. A little clarity was obscured by the wood grain but it's beautiful.

I have always loved mermaids and artist Skoosh's friendship series was one I immediately fell in love with. Treated myself to one on wood and I absolutely love it. The wood is substantial and works wonderfully with the colors on the print. Eventually it will go up on the wall of my craft room/office but for now it's right next to my laptop where i can see it as I get through my day. Can't wait for the rest of the series to be available.

Rodney Sanders Reaps Red River SpoilsOctober 15th, 2014
Happy, Texas – Rodney Sanders took his Swan Energy #20 Kimrad Tranport/MB Customs Open Wheel Modified into battle over the weekend in the inaugural Red River Open Wheel Modified Nationals at Red River Speedway (Wichita Falls, Texas), where he registered his 34th win of 2014.
What was scheduled to be a two-day event was condensed to a one-day, $3,000-to-win program after Friday night's festivities were washed away by Mother Nature.
Thirty-nine USRA Open Wheel Modifieds filled the pit area on Saturday evening, and Rodney started his outing by charging from fifth to win his heat race. In the feature event, Sanders bolted to the race lead from his outside-front-row starting spot, and led wire-to-wire to claim the $3,000 payday.
"It's always fun to win, but it's really fun to win at a new track," said Sanders. "The car was great all night, and hopefully we can claim the big payday next weekend in New Mexico."
Complete results from the racing program can be found at www.RRSpeedway.com.
Next on tap for Sanders will be the 15th Annual Window Wax USRA Fall Nationals at Southern New Mexico Speedway (Las Cruces, New Mexico). The event is scheduled to pay at least $10,000-to-win, but car count incentives are posted, which could see the first place money increased to $15,000. In addition Mesilla Valley Transportation is sponsoring the Front Row Challenge for the first time in the 15-year history of the mega-event. Both front row starters in Saturday's A-Main will have the opportunity to start at the back of the field for $25,000 to win. On Thursday and Friday preliminary events will be held, while the finale will headline Saturday's program. For more information on the event, please visit www.SNMSpeedway.com .
Rodney Sanders would like to thank all of his sponsors including Swan Energy, Kimrad Transport, Special Care, Outreachers Sustainable Solutions, Swan Racing, Geddes Race Engines, MB Customs, Alaron Energy, B&L Satellite Rental, STSI, Integra Shocks, Keyser Manufacturing, C&R Radiators, Eibach Springs, Charter Oak Production Company, Palmer Painting, Beyea Headers, Five Star Shop Service, McDonald Oil Field Services, KBC Graphics, D&G Contracting, FK Rod Ends, Fike's Transmissions, Krohn Farms, Mars Race Cars, K&N Filters, Club 29 Race Cars, Real Racing Wheels, 87 Automotive, Wichita Tank Racing, CMD Race Shocks, and MSRMafia.com Marketing Services.

It's been a long time coming, but this week finally sees the release of the Amazon Kindle Fire in the UK and selected markets across Europe. With prices starting at just £129 for the cheapest version, there is huge potential for Amazon to capture the casual tablet buyer market. 7-inch tablets are great for consuming media, no doubts. The Google Nexus 7 could be seen as a direct competitor, but there are differences, and there are areas where Amazon has a slight leg up on Google. And, it's all to do with content.
In the US, Nexus 7 owners can watch movies and TV shows, read magazines and books, and buy music. In the UK, we're limited to just the movies and books offerings, which to this day still disappoints. Yes, there's nasty licensing issues to deal with, but Amazon has done just that. We've had the MP3 store for a few years now, along with the Kindle offerings. In recent weeks though, Amazon has opened up the Appstore, Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, and has revealed how their LOVEFiLM rental service will be baked into the Kindle Fire to provide the video content.
So, is this the content consumers tablet of dreams? Maybe, it's had success in the United States, and Amazon is a well known, well trusted brand on these shores. But, just how good is the content that Amazon is offering up to UK customers? Lots of things look good on paper and then fail to stack up in reality.
The good news for you guys out there is that we've got one. A UK Kindle Fire landed on our doorstep, so we've opened it up and taken a very quick first look. We've got the standard Kindle Fire, the 8GB, £129 version, and first impressions are pretty positive. The hardware is nice -- if a little chunky -- and while frustrating at times, the Amazon software is nice to look at and easy to navigate.
But, that's enough talk. Click on past the break for a quick video walkthrough. Be sure to stick around in the coming days too, as we get to know this little guy some more.

Texas' largest farm organization is once again describing the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC) as a disaster for farming and ranching operations that lie in the potential path of the TTC and a major mistake for Texas itself.
The Texas Farm Bureau is also discovering that there are many allies in opposing the massive highway project, some of them members of the Texas Legislature.
"Our members are overwhelmingly opposed to the Trans Texas Corridor," says TFB President Kenneth Dierschke, a grain and cotton farmer from San Angelo. "There's never been any doubt that the impact on agriculture would be negative, but now we see a growing number of people who believe the TTC would be bad for all of Texas."
Dierschke says Texas Farm Bureau agrees with that sentiment, citing the lack of transparency in developing the TTC, non-compete clauses in the contract with the Spanish company that proposes to build the roads and potential lost revenues for the state.
Several bills in the Legislature are aimed at addressing the growing concerns of legislators concerning the TTC, which seems at least slightly less inevitable than during previous sessions.
Brenham State Representative Lois W. Kolkhorst has filed several bills, two of which are getting some attention. HB1881 is written to kill the TTC by removing it from the statutes.
The second bill, HB2772, seems to have more momentum. It would establish a two-year moratorium on the use of private equity comprehensive development agreements. This means outside entities would be prohibited from buying the rights to build and operate toll roads in Texas and keep the resulting revenues. Kolkhorst's bill currently has 105 house co-sponsors.
Jacksonville Senator Robert Nichols is carrying an identical bill in the Senate, with 27 of 31 state senators currently listed as co-sponsors.
"It's a prohibition, for a 24-month period, for any governmental entity in the state of Texas to enter into a tolling agreement with a private entity," Nichols said. "It prohibits them from selling an existing toll road to a private entity in that same period of time."
Nichols, a former member of the Texas Transportation Commission, is also concerned that Cintra-Zachry, the Spanish company slated to build the TTC, has inserted "non-compete" clauses in the contracts, meaning that competing toll roads could not be built in Texas for decades. Kolkhorst, Nichols and State Senator John Carona have filed bills to address that concern.
Many members of the Legislature are agreeing with farmers and rural landowners that the TTC is not in the best interests of Texas.
State Senator John Carona of Dallas, chairman of the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee, sees the TTC at the center of a gathering storm of public opposition. He believes that the Corridor as originally conceived will never be built, with the exception of major projects along and near I-35.
"Pieces of the Corridor will be built over the years ahead," Carona said. "They are the pieces that would have been built anyway, such as State Highway 130 in Austin, but not four football fields across."
Carona added that the eminent domain usage currently envisioned for the TTC cannot be justified. "This is not the solution to our mobility problems," Carona said.
Farm Bureau President Dierschke says the growing opposition to the TTC at the state capitol is encouraging.
"The Texas Farm Bureau remains strongly opposed to the Trans Texas Corridor," Dierschke said.
It's a stance that seems to be catching on.

|Mouse IgG2b
|The mouse monoclonal antibody 2H7 recognizes CD20 (B1, Bp35), a 33-37 kDa non-glycosylated membrane receptor with four transmembrane domains, expressed on pre-B lymphocytes, resting and activated B cells (not plasma cells), follicular dendritic cells, and at low levels on peripheral blood T lymphocytes.
HLDA IV; WS Code B201
|Regulatory Status:
|Human tonsillar B cells
|Species Reactivity:
|Human, Non-Human Primates
|The purified antibody is conjugated with Alexa Fluor® 700 under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography and adjusted for direct use. No reconstitution is necessary.
|Storage Buffer:
|The reagent is provided in stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution containing 15mM sodium azide.
|Storage / Stability:
|Store in the dark at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Avoid prolonged exposure to light. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label.
|The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 4 μl reagent / 100 μl of whole blood or 106 cells in a suspension.
The content of a vial (0.4 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.
|See vial label
|Lot Number:
|See vial label
|CD20 is a cell surface 33-37 (depending on the degree of phosphorylation) kDa non-glycosylated surface phosphoprotein expressed on mature and most malignant B cells, but not stem cells or plasma cells (low number of the CD20 has been also detected on a subpopulation of T lymphocytes and it can be expressed on follicular dendritic cells). Its expression on B cells is synchronous with the expression of surface IgM. CD20 regulates transmembrane calcium conductance (probably functioning as a component of store-operated calcium channel), cell cycle progression and B-cell proliferation. It is associated with lipid rafts, but the intensity of this association depends on extracellular triggering, employing CD20 conformational change and/or BCR (B cell antigen receptor) aggregation. After the receptor ligation, BCR and CD20 colocalize and then rapidly dissociate before BCR endocytosis, whereas CD20 remains at the cell surface. CD20 serves as a useful target for antibody-mediated therapeutic depletion of B cells, as it is expressed at high levels on most B-cell malignancies, but does not become internalized or shed from the plasma membrane following mAb treatment.

It makes me that much stronger
This was unexpected, what do I do now?
My family is two time zones away
House is not my home but it rocks though
Imagine if you will
Hurry down the chimney
Flowers competing for the sun
I believe I can fly
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Take this job and shove it
I'm working out
Gone, gone, gone
What's that sound
We don't need it, do we
Ain't noise pollution
Be glad that you are free
Face the music
If I had a hammer
Everywhere I go
Down with the sickness
Closing Time
Lemme hear ya say "Fight the Power!"
Don't know when I'll be back again
Who you jivin with that cosmic debris
Everybody's got to rock n roll
Make yo momma proud
You can read it in the Sunday papers
Get out there and register to vote, I'm outta here
St Louis got the best of me
How'd that asshole ever manage to get in
I gotta talk to you baby, set the record straight
I'm sittin here on capitol hill
And I'm hopin that they'll ratify my
Everybody in the club freaked when I stepped from the limousine
I'll be rude
It's not like we make a whole lot of money
Pass the plate around, friends
And there was nothing I could do
Nothing is being done
The world's not easy the blind man said
No sex in the champagne room
The idiot bastard son
Bicycle, bicycle!
That's a toad, not a frog
I keep my head low, I stay in the know
Taking care of one another U and me
No surface,all feeling
To mad dog your tilt-a-whirl
What they do in Washington: they just look out for number one
When I wake up early in the morning
Crusader, please take me with you
Never repetitive highly competitive
So fresh and so clean
See your face in every place that I walk in
I'm ten years down the road
You gotta make a big impressiong
All I do is fess up while they keep it outta sight
She hates me
Train keeps a rolling
Chaos and disorder ruling my world today
God sometimes you just don't come through
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Such a beautiful dream
Back in the saddle again
3 shots for a dollar win a real live doll
Hey, we got power! Oh we got the soul
I got all the fuckin work I need
What kind of guru are you anyway
Nowhere to run to nowhere to hide
The shape of me
Senses working overtime
I don't know what it's like to be you
You ain't got no deal at all
School's out forever
I ain't got no job, but I got style
I wanna be in their trees
I'm about to punch yo lights out
Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive
Upgrade your grey matter
Big and strong
Make it easy
If you think you think outside the box you're trapped in one
I know the zoos protect my species
Cold coffee and cocaine
Yo Guinea Love keeps a pen up in her messy hair
Turn me on, dead man
You got the close I got the bank and the crew
Got my mojo runnin
Did my time, took my chances
Odds and sods
Rocking on the sea
The load won't fit
Danke schoen
It'll phase, it'll flange, it's fast, it's flexible
The flowers insatiable passion turns into a circus of debauchery
C is for cookie
Overload, down the drain
Music is life
See these eyes so green
The moon is full and the stars are bright
And everything's gonna be alright
I'm drowning from too much stuff
Son, be a dentist
She wants what she wants
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
I guess I'll be alright
Live from the studio
I've been told that it could have been bleue cheese
I nearly do
Back to the heavyweight jams
Everybody plays the fool
Are you deaf, you wanna hear some more
I got 99 problems
The small fame that you've acquired
So what's so what's the scenario
Stupid Girl
If I had a hammer
Workin up a black sweat
When I decide which road to choose
They say I might as well work in a bank
It's a lovely trip
Where hungry people like to eat
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Security personnel, security personnel
The sky is falling all around
Thanks that was fun
Little bag o bones been out all night
Jesus Christ Pose
It's a matter of opinion as a matter of fact
He's got a router and a table saw
This is for all my players our there ridin
So we've let this happen all along
Beat down for the brown
I know a hundred games of solitaire
Black Sweat
But if you know what life is worth
They need to conform to our marketing plan
Searching for the unknown crumb
All the critics love u
Somebody is diggin' my bones again
Slow motion like a dream but real time is what it seems
'Cos I'm a slut and you just suck
And it lives in Minneapolis
Killed my television
Random, random, obtuse
It brings us closer together
I try to catch my breath again I hurt so much
I rock, therefore I am
My Own Kind Of Heaven
Pinch Me
I can't tell a book from countdown
Just A Kid
On the video, fast or slo-mo
What reasons do you need to be shown
You will hate me more than life hates you
We all went in to take a peek
Happy Workers
Lack Of Communication
Burning Down the House
There is eloquence in screaming.

New York University Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Document Type
forthcoming 2010 Supreme Court Review
In recent years, a number of scholars have argued that the Supreme Court has always been, and is destined to be, a "majoritarian" institution. Building on the work of Robert Dahl, these scholars collectively offer both historical and predictive claims: they assert that the Court's decisions have tended to reflect the values and preferences of national majorities and that deep structural forces and incentives constrain will continue to constrain the Court from departing from the preferences of these national majorities.
This article takes issue with those claims. Using as a starting point the Court's dramatically countermajoritarian recent decision in the Citizens United case, this article identifies at least six problems with the majoritarian thesis: (1) lack of clarity about who the relevant majority is that purportedly constrains the Court, such as national lawmaking majorities, national popular opinion majorities, or other possible definitions of "the majority"; (2) lack of convincing accounts of the mechanisms by which one or another of these majorities manages to constrain the Court; (3) disagreement about whether the Court's most momentous decisions, such as Brown v. Board of Education, were in fact majoritarian or not; (4) confusion between whether individual Court decisions reflect majoritarian preferences and whether the Court over long periods of time eventually reflects majoritarian beliefs; (5) failure to take into adequate account the changing power of the Court over time; (6) issues about whether data support the majoritarian thesis.
In addition, this article argues that good reasons exist to believe that the history of judicial review will not necessarily predict its future. However independent the Court might or might not have been in the past of political and popular constraints, the Court is likely to have more autonomy going forward than in the past. The strongest mechanism through which the Court reflects the outcomes of electoral processes, the appointments process, has been attenuated by the much longer average time Justices now serve; seats now become vacant on average every 3.1 years, rather than the 1.6 years that had long been the norm. That makes even more random any linkage between judicial appointments and national electoral outcomes.
The article concludes by offering Citizens United as a powerful reminder that, despite the best efforts of modern majoritarian theorists, Bickel's countermajoritarian difficulty endures. Citizens United may prove to be an isolated but important episode – or a harbinger of an assertive new era of judicial review that operates with a good deal of independence from national lawmaking and popular majorities.

objectiF RPM – Requirements Engineering and Agile Developmentwww.microTOOL.de
When organizations come across agile approaches, they discover the following lines in the agile manifesto [1]:
We have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation…
They may bypass or misinterpret the conclusion: While there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
They sometimes come to the rapid conclusion that items "on the right" can, from there on, be totally ignored: that they are no longer necessary, thanks to the "better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it". As stated in [2], "this has resulted in a perception of the agile community when looking into the 'old-fashioned' descriptions of the discipline requirements engineering as: 'old stuff, useless, we have to do it differently'".
Is that so? Are they right? Is requirements engineering a set of obsolete practices inherited from waterfall methods? Or should it just be done "differently", and how?
Most, if not all agile methods require proximity between users and developers [a]. Among other benefits, it favors communication, thus minimizing the need for written requirements. Short iterations and continuous feedback help in spotting misunderstandings (unclear requirements) and facilitate alignment with actual needs rather than frozen requirements (which include frozen wrong requirements, frozen unrealistic requirements, missing requirements, etc.) Early discovery of errors in the development is key to the success of agile methods, since it has such a positive impact on costs and delay. Waterfall sometimes allows rigorous development of design, code and tests according to the wrong requirements: early detection of these would have minimized rework.
In Scrum or Extreme Programming, User Stories are used to capture the users' expectations with "good enough" precision. Before they are allocated to a sprint, they are associated to test cases, needed to verify whether a user story is actually implemented or not. Such tests clarify the user story and remove ambiguity. So, in a way, user stories can be seen as "a kind of" requirement. [3], a bestseller on Scrum in France, states that "With the emergence of agile methods, we no longer speak of requirements, the central element becomes the story" [b]. According to the same source, traceability is not an issue, since traceability is established between stories, features, tasks and tests.
Lastly, the very fact that working software is delivered continuously makes it arguably less necessary to have a comprehensive description of the software: when it is possible to discuss the real thing, why would you need requirements, which are only an abstract representation of it?
So, what might be missing if we work without formal, managed requirements?
Imagine we are to develop a system that will store records. One of our requirements could be:
R1: "The system shall store records for at least twenty years".
To satisfy such a requirement, you will first need to estimate the size of an individual record, and to have some indications of the number of records expected. The correct solution will imply a combination of lower level software and hardware requirements, and even requirements on data formats; for example, you may require that storage can be extended easily, preferably without the need to migrate data, that technologies used in the system can be replaced when they become obsolete with minimal costs, and that any format used to store data will still be readable in twenty years, to avoid costly and error-prone conversions.
So: it cannot simply be captured as a user story that will be selected to be implemented in a single iteration [c]. And it does require several layers of requirements, traceability to software and hardware components as well as among requirements from different layers. Simply rephrasing it in a "user story" style "As the person in charge of hosted data, I will be able to store all records for at least 20 years to comply with regulations" will not help. Nor will short iterations — unless they are specifically conducted to elaborate or validate the low-level requirements.
R2: "Records classified 'Z' shall be accessible only to selected people directly connected through the intranet, without the possibility to copy or print them". Such a requirement must be refined into lower level requirements concerning authentication features of the software, but also the underlying components and layers, down to the operating system, infrastructure and possibly the physical connections between the intranet and the internet. Once again, there is a real need for layered requirements, and corresponding requirements traceability — at least if the system is to be maintained.
Another important point is the fact that such a requirement, even if satisfied at a given moment, cannot be considered as "implemented" or "done" after an iteration, since it can be violated later by an increment — e.g. requiring more disk space or using a non-standard technique for storage, thus missing R1, or introducing a breach in security, thus breaking R2.
The reader will find in [4] a real example where late discovery of dependencies and non-functional requirements in an agile project was an issue.
The above examples are related to scalability, life expectancy and security. Such requirements are frequently called "non-functional" requirements, subdivided into "constraints" and "quality requirements" [5] [6].
[3] does mention them, but none of the proposals made to handle them is fully satisfactory. SAFe [7] — Scaled Agile Framework — calls them "NFR" and proposes storing them in a dedicated place, as constraints that apply to the backlog as a whole, and may constrain zero, some or many backlog items [8].
We have used two quality requirements as obvious examples, but the same situation can also occur for functional requirements. For instance, in some applications I use, each individual function works in a satisfactory way, but I have to go back to the home screen and to navigate elsewhere to perform certain operations on an object, though it is currently displayed on the screen: this particular path was not identified in a user story (is it possible to find them all?); however, a navigability requirement [d] could have stated that all objects displayed on a screen can be clicked or tapped to trigger applicable functions from any screen. And such a generic requirement, of course, would have been a constraint potentially applicable to all the user stories in the backlog. A requirement that the application is usable by color-blind people [e] could also be violated at any point in time; you can never mark it as "done".
We plan to dedicate another paper — at least — to this topic, but at this stage, we give a few clues on how to perform requirements engineering in an agile context, on what it means "to do it differently".
Since we want to preserve all the benefits of agility, we do not want to impose that a complete set of frozen requirements is available before allowing development [f]! Thus, new requirements can be discovered and existing requirements modified or dropped at any point in time, e.g. during the demo of a release. Actually, it can even be the goal of a specific sprint to clarify a given requirement, to determine acceptable values, or to check its feasibility — in XP and SAFe, a sprint may include so-called spikes [9] which increase knowledge about a certain concern and, in my view, can produce new requirements and alter existing ones [g].
In other words, a key difference between waterfall and agile development is that requirements can sometimes be an output of development, in particular of early iterations.
Another point is that requirements, though they are traditionally published in thick specification and design documents, do not have to be published that way [h]: like user stories, they are just elementary items that can be managed appropriately, in a requirements repository, next to the backlog.
Last: of course, user stories do contain a number of more or less implicit functional requirements that do not need to be extracted and managed separately, since attached test cases may be enough to detail the intent. Only some requirements, those that cannot be captured in user stories and implemented in a single sprint — noticeably non-functional requirements — have to be managed in a repository of their own.
The need for a set of requirements, managed alongside the backlog and its user stories, may depend on several factors, such as:
Are user stories and requirements different names for the same thing?
YES and NO. User stories do correspond to one or more functional requirements. However, user stories can be estimated, selected for implementation in a sprint, and validated at the end of a sprint, whereas some requirements (and particularly non-functional requirements) may constrain more than one user story, and therefore have to be verified each time a user story potentially impacts compliance with the requirement.
Are formal, managed requirements and traceability still needed in agile development?
YES, at least sometimes, for complex systems, large teams and systems with a long life expectancy.
Is requirements management executed differently in agile and waterfall approaches?
YES, since it must be executed in an agile way, concurrently with development, rather than producing a frozen baseline prior to development, and then managing changes; early sprints are used to elicit, refine and validate requirements, and requirements are sometimes the output of an iteration rather than an input.

On Wednesday, President Obama spoke in eloquent language of our social contract, of a progressive patriotism, and of a role for government that helps us "do together what we cannot do as well for ourselves." It was a clear rebuke to the GOP's Robin Hood in Reverse agenda—taking from the poor and middle-class in order to preserve tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
Obama made the right choice in defending Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and pushing instead for healthcare reform—even putting negotiating drug prices on the table. He again refused to renew the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy—a pledge he has made and broken in the past. He also called for cuts in a defense budget that has contributed two out of three dollars in increased discretionary spending since 2001.
Yet in many ways his approach continues to legitimize the inside-the-Beltway consensus that spending cuts must lead the way toward achieving fiscal responsibility. Just as the Simpson-Bowles Commission proposes, for every $1 raised by closing tax loopholes on wealthy Americans, the President proposes $2 in spending cuts. Two-thirds of those cuts would come from education, health and other social programs, while only one-third comes from the military budget. While the president speaks eloquently of his vision of "shared sacrifice," in reality it is still a budget that hits the poor and the middle-class hardest while wealthy Americans and the military are asked to sacrifice far less.
An alternative approach that deserves more attention is the "People's Budget" offered by the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC). It will be introduced in the House on Thursday and it is the strongest rebuke—in the form of an amendment—to the unconscionable "Ryan Budget" for FY 2012. It's a budget that gives the people—according to poll after poll—exactly what they want (something which shouldn't be a rarity in a healthy, vibrant democracy).
The People's Budget lays out what a robust progressive agenda looks like. It protects an already frayed social net and promotes a progressive tax policy that makes millionaires, billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share. It doesn't stop at cutting the low-hanging fruit at the Pentagon, instead it brings our troops home from two wars that cost trillions of dollars and do nothing to make the US safer, and resets and rethinks what real security means in the twenty-first century.

San Diego State 82 - 67 Fresno State
No. 13 SDSU cruises past Fresno StateMar 2, 2014 - 7:05 AM Fresno, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Aqeel Quinn connected on four 3-pointers en route to 17 points off the bench, as No. 13 San Diego State sailed past Fresno State, 82-67, on Saturday at Save Mart Center.
Xavier Thames tallied a team-high 22 points with six rebounds, while Winston Shepard supplied 13 points for the Aztecs (25-3, 14-2 MWC), who have won two straight since a 58-44 loss to New Mexico on Feb. 22.
San Diego State sits one-half game ahead of New Mexico atop the conference standings and will wrap up the regular season with a road test against the Lobos next Saturday after hosting UNLV on Wednesday.
"This is the way you have to play if you want to win a conference championship," SDSU head coach Steve Fisher said. "We have to keep digging and say this is the way we want to play when we go to Vegas on Wednesday. It feels good today."
Tyler Johnson led Fresno State (15-15, 8-9) with 18 points, while Marvelle Harris added 17 points and six boards for the Bulldogs, who had won seven of their last eight games coming into the contest.
Johnson's 3-pointer found Fresno State holding a 13-12 lead just over 8 1/2 minutes in, but Quinn countered with a triple at the other end to spark a 9-2 swing from San Diego State.
SDSU held Fresno State at arm's length throughout the remainder of the half, as Thames scored his team's final seven points of the frame to help the Aztecs take a 40-35 lead into the locker room.
"For a better part of the first half, we did just enough to be right where we needed to be, with the exception of closing out the half," Fresno State head coach Rodney Terry said.
San Diego State then opened the second on a 7-2 swing, capped by five straight from Shepard, to build a 10-point lead less than two minutes into the half.
A Quinn 3-pointer with 10:48 to play pushed the spread to 64-48 and the visitors failed to threaten from there, never getting closer than 15 points the rest of the way as the Aztecs cruised to victory down the stretch.
Game Notes
SDSU leads the all-time series, 58-45 ... San Diego State has won 115 straight games when leading with five minutes left in the second half ... SDSU shot 60 percent from the floor (27-of-45), including 9-of-15 from 3-point range ... Alex Davis added 12 points for Fresno State ... San Diego State has won 41 straight games against teams from California.

PLAINVIEW, NY — Plainview Hospital today announced plans to build a state-of-the-art vascular lab, which will be utilized for both inpatient and outpatients to better diagnose and assist in screening and providing preventative care for vascular disease. The project, which will cost a few hundred-thousand dollars, is slated for completion by the end of the year.
Vascular labs have become an integral extension of a patient's physical examination, offering an excellent, non-invasive tool to validate the need for vascular surgery. The Vascular Division of Plainview's Department of Surgery performs approximately 300 procedures yearly, which include: carotid artery surgery; abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery; peripheral vascular surgery and vascular access for renal failure patients. Plainview's vascular surgery service, in combination with its Interventional Radiology Unit, is able to treat most peripheral vascular diseases with bypass or stent placement to improve poor circulation.
"Having a dedicated vascular lab onsite at the hospital will give us the ability to provide a complete array of noninvasive vascular services in a timely manner, enhancing care to both inpatients and outpatients" said Michael Fener, executive director of Plainview Hospital.
To lead the new program, the hospital appointed Nicholas J. Gargiulo, III, MD, an associate professor of surgery at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine assigned to the Plainview Department of Surgery's Division of Vascular Surgery.
"The vascular lab will be a great asset to not only the North Shore-LIJ Health System, but the community as a whole," said Dr. Gargiulo. "Advances in vascular research will promote health and wellness for the future, preventing unnecessary surgeries and procedures."
Dr. Gargiulo completed his undergraduate studies at Colgate University, Hamilton, NY, where he graduated with a degree in chemistry. He later earned his medical degree from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, receiving two National Institutes of Health research fellowships. Dr. Gargiulo completed his internship and residency in general surgery, as well as research and vascular surgery fellowships at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. Dr. Gargiulo comes to the North Shore-LIJ Health System from Montefiore's Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery Department and the University of Rochester School of Medicine. He holds a Certificate of Special Qualifications in vascular surgery and will assist in the lab's construction.

Genesis Rodriguez has promised Arnold Schwarzenegger's fans that they will love his upcoming film Last Stand.
Schwarzenegger stars in Last Stand as an American sheriff who is determined to stop a drug kingpin from destroying his small town.
Speaking about the movie with Collider, Rodriguez hinted that viewers will see "a different kind of Arnold" in the action-thriller.
"This is exactly what you want from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. This is your action hero coming back and this is the biggest comeback role for him," Rodriguez explained. "I think you're gonna see another side of him; I think you're gonna remember him in his glory days, but you're gonna see a different kind of Arnold."
She added of Schwarzenegger's new role: "You're gonna see a more vulnerable, more human side of him. It's wonderful to see that he's coming back to it and this is where we love to see him.
"My character is an FBI agent; he plays a cop, the sheriff of a small town. He is doing it all again, the stunts, the taglines. You're gonna get a lot more of those [hallmarks]."
Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville, Peter Stormare and Luis Guzman also star in Last Stand, which is directed by South Korean filmmaker Kim Ji-woon.
Last Stand is expected to open on January 13 in the US and the UK.

Imagine California without the sunshine, New York without the cultural elan, New Jersey without Chris Christie. That's Illinois.
I have previously deemed the Governor of Illinois, Patrick Quinn (D.), the worst governor in the country. Go here to read the post in which I bestowed the title. After his meeting with the Illinois bishops on Friday December 16, 2011, I have attached "Lying" to his title. The bishops asked for the meeting to protest the constant pro-abortion advocacy of Quinn. After the meeting here is what Quinn said:
"A lot of the discussion was how we could work together to fight poverty, help the people who are less fortunate and need a helping hand," Quinn told the Sun-Times as he left a Christmas toy give-away on the Far South Side. "Getting people jobs, helping people who don't have enough food to eat — that's what the church's social mission is all about."
This was too much for the bishops and they released the following statement:
We are grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with Governor Quinn. We share the Governor's concern for the poor. From our point of view, however, this was a meeting between pastors and a member of the Church to discuss the principles of faith, not the works of faith. On several occasions, the Governor has referred to his Catholic conscience and faith as the justification for certain political decisions. As Catholic pastors, we wanted to remind the Governor that conscience, while always free, is properly formed in harmony with the tradition of the Church, as defined by Scripture and authentic teaching authority. A personal conscience that is not consistent with authentic Catholic teaching is not a Catholic conscience. The Catholic faith cannot be used to justify positions contrary to the faith itself. It is a matter of personal integrity for people who call themselves Catholic to act in a manner that is consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. In addition, since he holds a highly visible and influential position, the Governor's statements about conscience or other matters of faith can affect many other people for whose spiritual care bishops are responsible. This concern on our part, as pastors of the Church, was the fundamental and primary topic of our conversation with Governor Quinn.
I give a half-hearted bravo to the bishops. I will give bravoes until the rafters quake if they finally decide to excommunicate Quinn. However, I fear all we will get out of the bishops is endless words, and Quinn will go merrily on his way.

Register for all the latest updates in our regular newsletter
Have we become electoral fundamentalists?
In a Policy Network feature, David Van Reybrouck, author of Against Elections, contests the idea that 'democracy' is synonymous with 'elections'.
Van Reybrouck argues that our democratic institutions haven't been
updated since the late 18th century, and are in desperate need of
renewal to reflect the horizontal power relationships of today's
hyper-connected, interactive society.
A bi-representative system, combining elections with the democratic
principle of sortition, or drawing of lots, could steer democracy into
smoother waters.
Peter Stone of Trinity College Dublin stresses this point. He argues that introducing lotteries of randomly selected citizens could prevent special interests from dominating the political process, and enhance its democratic legitimacy.
