My personal challenge, formerly known as "Straight Edge 3.0" was interrupted by a back injury. Well, injury may be the wrong word, it's more an issue. The cause for my back issue was found after several sessions at the physiotherapy. It's my bloody furniture at work.
I demanded new furniture that will fit much better to my height and habits how I usually sit at a desk. Nothing happened actually and the pain in my back gets a chronic characteristic. I personally think, that this is not fun anymore, that I've to suffer by sitting at a fucking desk that is much too low for me and by sitting on a chair that was already outdated twenty sodding years ago. Trust me, I'm really furious about this.
A few weeks ago, it started getting serious by Thursdays or Fridays but these days I already suffer on Mondays. I'm not quite sure for how long I'm willing to take this. I never had problems with my back, because of one simple fact, I always cared about it. And by that I do not mean, that I always trained it or made special exercises. I just mean, I simply cared in daily life and especially at work, which is the major part of my day. The ignorance I currently experience is far beyond any description.
Looking back at the first weeks of SE 3.0 I made a lot of progress. My endurance increased, I lost weight and I was able to improve my strength as well. All this progress is now lost. I'm still able to run on the treadmill for quite some time and I also do not drown in the pool after swimming a couple of lanes, but it could have been much, much better than it is right now.
I'm a little bit confused about what I should do with this whole situation. I want to stick to my project, without a single glimpse of a doubt. And I'm not willing to give the whole thing up, just because my furniture is not correct. My therapist said it very clear, 'If it hurts and your employer doesn't change anything, then you've to quit your job'
That sounds rude and pretty cynical, but she's right to a certain degree.
You might have noticed it, swimming is now included in my sports scheduled. One time a week me and a friend of mine make it to the natatorium and swim a few lanes. Well, something about 1,500m or so. Currently it's more about endurance than technique. But we'll change the training focus in the future.
I cut down the gym sessions to one or two per week and I plan to include one mountain bike session per week or every second week, depending on the spare time I've got left for this. Due to the fact that I'm "slightly handicapped" I avoid doing any sessions at the gym that only consist of strength training. I've to see how it all develops in the future and if everything is getting better.

Dear Benny,
Thank you so much for organizing a wonderful trekking trip for us in the Baliem Valley. The service by your team was friendly and well organized. We loved the beautiful mountains, rivers, and people of Papua and really appreciated the cultural experiences such as watching sweet potato cooking, seeing a mummy, participating in a traditional ceremony, and of course sleeping in huts. Thanks again for your help and services.
Best wishes,

First Things First–Determining Your Goals
As we all know, there are a million and one pieces of home exercise equipment on the market, from mundane treadmills and spin-bikes, to outlandishly specialized machines that target only one muscle group. One company was even peddling a dog treadmill not too long ago! With such a variety of home fitness equipment available, some helpful, others not so much, each manufacturer promising guaranteed results, deciding which pieces would add the most power to your home gym can be a daunting task. Where can you invest your hard-earned cash to make the best investment in your health and fitness?
Of course the good old-fashioned treadmills and spin-bikes will help you maintain aerobic exercise and good cardiovascular health, and if that's the end of what you're looking for, there's no harm in sticking with the basics. Thin and trim–no harm, no foul. But if what you want is to sculpt your body, to make your outside mirror the warrior within and craft the physique you really want, then investing in a power rack is an absolute essential. With a customizable body which you can equip with all the pieces you need to perform the routines you want–barbells, weights, benches, and more–a power rack or cage can help you achieve your highest fitness goals, and even empower you to surpass them!
At Fitness Weights we offer a variety of power racks, and smaller alternatives like squat racks and stands, half racks, and total body gyms and smith machines, all of which represent the best value in the industry in terms of quality build, safety features, and of course, price. Here, you'll be able to find just the right piece to complete your home gym and empower yourself to claim the kind of confidence and physical and emotional benefits that can only come from true, lasting physical fitness. And as we mentioned, our products meet or go beyond industry standards for safety. Our power racks and cages are customizable, offering multiple adjustment options to allow for the safe execution of a variety of lifts without the need of a spotter. And if you're yearning for a fit, toned body, but the idea of free-weight lifts intimidates you, we also have a variety of total body gyms, or smith machines, with fixed barbells to ease you into weight lifting while still helping you craft a perfect physique.
On the other hand, perhaps you aren't building a home gym, but rather you own or operate your own commercial gym, and you're looking to add a quality power rack or power cage to your floor of workout equipment, so that you can attract committed body builders and keep them coming back. Or maybe your gym is tight on space and you don't have room for a full power rack or power cage. At Fitness Weights, we offer a wide selection of quality squat racks and squat stands, as well as half power racks, to enable you to offer your athletes the best, most varied possible work out experience even if you're short on space. Are you looking for a total body gym or smith machine to offer a safe space for beginner level lifters? With the plethora of options for sale at Fitness Weights, you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for, at the best possible price on the market!
Let us assure you, our products are guaranteed to be the best power racks, squat racks, half racks, and total body gyms available. We source our products exclusively from the most trusted brands in the industry. All of the power racks for sale at Fitness Weights, and all of our alternative options, are products built to the highest industry standards, with solid steel constructions, made with safety and effectiveness in mind. At Fitness Weights, you can rest assured knowing that we don't differentiate between commercial and personal quality. Each and every piece of equipment for sale here is guaranteed to provide you top of the line performance and safety, whether you're a gym owner looking to expand your equipment, or a motivated individual building an effective home gym.
Whether you're after that mighty Schwarzenegger build, or you want a sleeker, more slender power–say Ronda Rousey, or Christian Bale as the Dark Night–a power rack can help you achieve the strength, muscle tone, and enduring fitness you really want. As the central piece in your home gym, a power rack can enable you to perform a variety of lifts, pull-ups, and other exercises in the comfort of your own home. Owning this versatile home-fitness tool, you'll have all the tools and versatility of a gym membership at your fingertips (or in your mighty grip, rather) without the hefty monthly bill or the stress of a commute. We all lead busy lives in this day and age, and investing in a power rack for your home gym can allow you the freedom to plan your workout routines around your busy schedule and achieve your fitness and body building goals without cutting so much into your time, freeing you up to enjoy that strong and sexy body you're working so hard to build.
Top Strength Training Equipment
Power Racks and Power Cages
Each and every power rack and cage we've made available to you offers the highest quality in the industry at the lowest price in the business. In fact, if you find a competitor that is somehow offering a lower price we will actually beat their price! Our power racks are made in a cubical or box shape with a single steel structure that is most often used while standing. The cube shaped steel frame of a full power rack or cage offers you a flexible, fully customizable workout experience with multiple adjustment options to enable the execution of many lifts and exercises, both with a spotter, or safely on your own.
Lifting benches can be used in conjunction with most power racks and cages, and the cube or box configuration allows you to utilize multiple sides of the power rack or cage for storage of the free weight equipment and accessories you need to personalize a workout regimen that will help make your fitness dreams come true and empower you to realize your particular fitness goals. Our racks and cages can be configured to hold a variety of lifting bars and weights for convenient on-hand storage, and they include adjustable safety catches to prevent weights from going beyond a specified point.
Some power racks and cages offer mechanized assisted lift options for safe solo-lifting if you often workout without a spotter. But take our word for it, at Fitness Weights, we make a point of only offering you equipment that meets the highest standards for safety in the industry, and mechanized assisted lifting or not, all of our racks and cages will empower you to hone and tone your body safely, with or without a spotter.
Power racks and power cages are the largest structure offered at Fitness Weights and these pieces are best suited for larger home gyms or as the central piece of smaller home gyms. If space is an issue for you, and you can't imagine where you'd fit a full-sized power rack or cage, Fitness Weights offers you a variety of alternative options that can empower your workout even if all you've got to work with is the corner of your garage or a basement with a low ceiling. At Fitness Weights you'll find a plethora of smaller options that enable several lifts and exercises while occupying half the space, or less, of a full power rack or cage. We have many alternative power racks for sale, including squat racks and squat stands, half racks, and smith machines or total body gyms. While a full power rack or cage is certainly going to give you the most flexibility in terms of the exercises it empowers you to perform (most cages have a cube or box configuration that allows you to utilize multiple sides of the power rack for storage of free weight equipment and accessories, including lifting benches, and many power racks have at least one overhead crossbar for pull-ups, windshield wipers, hanging leg raises, inverted crunches, etc.), the alternatives we offer can be nearly as effective without taking up so much space.
Squat Racks and Squat Stands
Squat racks, or squat stands, are specifically designed to be used for free weight squats and tend to be about half the height of a power rack or cage and single sided. Whereas full power racks or cages are usually made with a single piece steel construction, squat racks can be either a single piece structure or a double stand (two individual posts) structure. Squat racks and stands do however come with multiple adjustment options, and are most often designed to hold a minimum number of weights and a single lift bar. This slighter build makes squat racks and stands perfect for smaller home gyms, for basements with low ceilings, or that small spot in your garage that's not full of storage, but not large enough for a full sized power rack or power cage.
Just like our full sized power racks and cages, all of our squat racks and stands are also built with your safety in mind. Don't settle for anything less than the best when your fitness, health and safety are involved. It's not worth taking any chances. Manufactured, like all of our products, by the most trusted names in fitness and with most products backed by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, these squat racks are guaranteed to be some of the highest quality pieces of equipment available. And at Fitness Weights, you are guaranteed to get the lowest price available on the pieces you invest in to complete your home gym.
If you're saying to yourself, "Oh, sure, I'd like a power rack. It'd help me get the body I've always wanted, but the ceiling is so low in my little basement, it'd never work!" well, stop feeling sorry for yourself and invest in a squat rack or squat stand today and go get that strong, sexy build, low ceiling or not!
Half Power Racks
If you want the benefits of a full sized power rack or power cage but can't quite seem to figure out how you could ever have enough space for that, then why not invest in a half power rack, which takes up less space than a full power cage. The empowering benefits of using a power rack to achieve your ideal workout regimen can be yours with half of the hassle of having to find space for a full sized power rack. We are happy to present you with a wide range of options. For those who need to conserve their gym space, the half power rack is a great option. There is a huge selection of brands and features to choose from, and with the variety of styles, brands and features we offer you, you are guaranteed to discover that perfect piece of equipment fitted perfectly to help you achieve all of your sought after fitness goals.
Half power racks are a space saving, slimmer, more compact option for the home gym user who wants the versatility of a power rack but doesn't need all of the extra bells and whistles. Much like full sized power racks and cages, half racks have a box configuration, but as their name implies, half racks are anywhere between half and a quarter of the depth of a full power rack or cage, allowing you to save space in a cramped garage or a small home gym. Half racks are best for storing a single lifting bar, but they do supply storage for multiple weights and lifting accessories. And because with a half rack what you are sacrificing is depth, not height as with a squat rack or squat stand, many half racks still have a pull-up bar for doing pull-ups, windshield wipers, hanging leg raises, inverted crunches, etc.
Like full sized power racks and power cages, half racks offer multiple adjustment options. Lifting benches can be used with most half racks, so you can still achieve close to the full range of lifts and exercises as you could with a full sized power rack or cage, while the half rack's shorter depth allows you to conserve a good deal of space. Reach all of your fitness goals with a half power rack from Fitness Weights. Don't leave your health and athleticism to just anyone. Choose a company you can trust. There are, unfortunately, some half racks available on the internet that are less than stable, due to faulty construction or sub-par materials, and they can fall. As you can imagine, this could be catastrophic when you are working with heavy weights and lifting equipment. A half power rack that will be safe and stable is worth investing in because nothing can be as annoying and set you back like a minor injury, and nothing can be as tragic as a major injury.
Choose something that will get you closer to your fitness goals while keeping you protected! Just like with our full power racks, power cages, and squat racks and stands, the half power racks for sale at Fitness Weights are guaranteed to provide you all the versatility you need to customize a workout regimen that can take you all the way in achieving your athletic goals. You can rest assured that our half power racks will keep you safe and out of injury whether you're lifting with a spotter or on your own with their top of the line sturdy, steel frame construction, and safety features that meet the highest safety standards in the industry.
Don't let that tiny corner of your garage stop you from claiming the fitness and body physique you've always dreamed of! Invest in a half power rack from Fitness Weights and make that garage corner the key to mastering your body and crafting the shape and tone you've always wanted. Achieve the confidence and all the physical and psychological benefits that come with true, lasting physical fitness!
Total Body Gyms or Smith Machines
Alright, so maybe you don't want Ronda Rousey's sculpted warrior frame or Dave Bautista's mighty musculature. Perhaps you just want to look better and feel better with a tighter, more well toned body, built for a lasting fitness and a sexy physique. But you don't have the room or desire to create a full home gym, don't want to fork out the painful monthly fee for a gym membership, and maybe you've never lifted weights before and just don't know where to start. So what's the solution? How can you stay healthy and build lasting fitness with limited space and funds? Our simple solution is to purchase a total body gym or smith machine! Inexpensive and designed to target areas all over your body, total body gyms are plausible solutions to your exercise anxiety.
Total body gyms, often called smith machines, are designed to be an all in one home gym machine. They are great for small spaces as all of your lifting needs are accommodated by one machine, a machine that still offers multiple adjustment options to allow for vastly different lifts. Better yet, whereas full sized power racks and cages and half power racks are customizable, allowing you to add equipment and accessories–like a lifting bench–as you prefer, one of the best features of the total body gym is the inclusion of a bench in the purchase. Power racks and half racks don't often include benches, so we think the inclusion of a bench with your total body gym or smith machine makes this kind of machine a really awesome deal and one of the best values available.
Let's be honest, some of us walk into a gym, look around at all of the different equipment and start feeling overwhelmed by all of the options. Where do we start? How will we have time to work on all of our body? That's where total body gyms and smith machines come in handy. Like their name suggests, total body gyms come with attachments and pieces of equipment specifically designed for users to work on their entire body. No more anxiety when you begin your workout. With a total body workout machine like our total body gyms, all you have to do is go to the machine and start pumping. No switching machines after 20 minutes because you can simply shift from one exercise to the next without moving very far.
Some gyms require the user to attach different pieces, such as preacher curls, to the machine before you can work on a different part of the body. But pieces are easy to take on and off, so you won't spend an unreasonable amount of time switching between exercises. Separate pieces lock into place safely, so they won't fall off while they are in use. These machines are great options for home gyms because they are cost effective and don't require an entire room to set up and store.
These all-in-one gyms take up less space than full sized power racks or cages, and all of your workouts can be done on this one machine. So you could easily place it in a corner of the garage or your living room and still have space to perform all of your daily workout routines. We care about your health and fitness, so we offer total body gyms because we believe everyone should have the opportunity to shape and tone muscles all over their body.
A Challenge
Don't let lack of space, lack of funds, or anxiety about starting a lifting regimen stop you from achieving your fitness dreams. Whether you're a seasoned lifter looking to maintain your warrior physique, a gym owner interested in expanding your equipment, or a motivated beginner ready to start crafting the body fitness and confidence you've yearned for, at Fitness Weights, we guarantee you'll find what you're looking for, and whatever you choose to purchase, it will be the best investment you could possibly make in your fitness and the quality of your life!

Vadim Rizov's review published on Letterboxd :
For a long time now, I've read contemptuous dismissals from adamant peers of pretty much any kind of CGI showboating on the grounds that "impossible" shots require little more than millions of dollars being thrown at a problem. It's true that slinging a camera from non-"space" into Sandra Bullock's helmet to assume her non-existent POV, then sending it back out into the equally unreal void etc. etc. lacks physical tactility or any easy sense of empirically quantifiable achievement — but it's also true that the shot had to be thought up in the first place, and Cuarón's concepts are pretty impressive. I don't think the movie's predicated on anyone into being hoodwinked into thinking "How real! What a feat! How did they do that!" With its baffling comparisons to Kubrick and Ophuls, Todd McCarthy's much-derided Variety review has served as a kind of synecdochal stand-in for all such ignorant responses or what the movie itself is trying to do, but that's again not terribly germane.
CGI is CGI; it's weightless and sometimes pathetically inadequate. (How are computer flames still so unconvincing?) But most of the first hour's shots are pretty exciting, detail-oriented spectacles: e.g. not just shooting the "camera" inside Bullock's helmet, but slowly adjusting the condensation-on-glass levels or the angle at which Bullock holds her head relative to light sources from the left, eventually resulting in an invisible diagonal producing a blue "flare" on the right. The overt artifice and impossibility of it all don't preclude being impressed; these are impossible shots, but they've been thought through on every level, and that's certainly something new to see. (Anyone who's ever grumbled about directors who seem to think digital's the same as film and who ignore its unique properties should be equally interested in what CGI is or could be rather than simply complaining that it's not The Real Thing imo.) Suspense can be generated in a literal vaccuum, partly because of the novelty of the setting: you don't know exactly where all the possible places to grasp onto on a space station are, so even if you can be reasonably sure Warner Bros. didn't spend ~$120 million to give us the dour spectacle of Sandra Bullock dying in space, you're not sure exactly where the last possible stopping place is.
I have a terrible feeling Cuarón believes his dialogue and stupidly heavy-handed plot/"themes" ("you have to learn to let go" not just said out loud but also visually illustrated come on) aren't just necessary evils to hoodwink a studio into funding his visual experiments but in fact Very Meaningful, but I can live with that. (There's a momentarily much more harrowing movie occuring, one about someone who suddenly realizes that there's a very high possibility they're going to die in a few hours, but Bullock's big monologue dilutes the realization.) There's a Ripley-in-panties moment early on, seemingly dispensed with so that the final shots won't be too objectifying, and I can live with that too. And yes, the score is unnecessary, diluting the bravura of removing the possibility of using sound for sudden shocks.
If you disdain corporate CGI spectacle on principle — that it's basically expensive frivolity, a distraction from Real Cinema — that's totally understandable, even laudable. I'm a weaker man than that and need a dose of expensive blockbuster fun every once in a while. I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but it's a diverting spectacle that got me to experience rare moments of real suspense a few times.
[Addendum: on Twitter, my bud Jason Overbeck noted: "Film writers: You should know, people who work in VFX laugh mockingly at you when you write 'CGI' instead of 'CG.'" Now I know. Now we all know.]

RADCLIFF, KY (WAVE) - The wife of a man killed in a traffic crash during a police chase last weekend says their three children must now grow up without their father.
James Fentress, 36, was killed June 6 when police say a stolen SUV driven by 24-year-old Brandon Lee Jessie of Knob Lick, KY crashed into Fentress's car as he tried to get away from police.
According to police reports, Jessie had reached speeds of up to 125 miles per hour before the crash.
Fentress's wife, LaShonda, says her husband spent his entire life in the Hardin County area and that hundreds of citizens have approached her to say how much they will miss him.
"He was 36 years old, LaShonda said. "So I have people coming up to me every day 'I knew your husband,' or 'I worked with your husband, and we're really going to miss him because he really was a good person.'"
LaShonda says she met her husband in 1998, when she was 17, and they've been together ever since.
"Like I said, he was my soulmate and always will be," LaShonda said. "You have one love, and it's going to stay that way forever."
LaShonda says their 10- and 7-year-old sons and 6-year-old daughter ask about their father every day. "He was an excellent daddy," she said.
As for the suspect accused of causing the deadly crash that took her husband from her, LaShonda had this to say:
"I just want him to realize that he has taken a very important person out of this world that was not ready to go," LaShonda said. "I mean my kids are very small and they won't have their dad there to hold their hands."
A memorial and funeral service was planned for June 11 at Bible Baptist Church in Radcliff starting at 6 p.m.

About Lake Wisconsin Country Club
Built in 1925 as a nine-hole course from soil harvested at a local farm and placed by horse-drawn carts, Lake Wisconsin Country Club has since grown into an 18-hole course that runs alongside Lake Wisconsin. At a distance of 5,881 yards from the farthest tees, the picturesque par 70 eschews overwhelming length in favor of a hazard-intensive round, as players must reckon with dense tree lines, water that comes in play on five holes, and territorial blades of grass throughout the layout. Rounds begin with the course's most difficult hole, a 415-yard par 4 that demands a straight drive to keep balls out of a small forest on the left and a pond located on the right. A stint at the club's driving range grants golfers a chance to prepare for the round.
Kissing the shores of Lake Wisconsin, the club offers complimentary dock slips for guests approaching by boat. The club's dining room is open to the public for Friday-night fish fries, during which patrons can take in cocktails, surf 'n' turf entrees, and evening views of the lake.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 60 course
- Length of 5,881 yards from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 117 from the farthest tees
- Three tee options

1,800 broadsides published on new website
For almost three centuries broadsides filled the place occupied today by the tabloid press. This 'street literature' can now be accessed online as a new website, 'The word on the street', is launched by the National Library of Scotland today, 5 June. It is a major new addition to the Library's web resources and goes live to coincide with the opening of the 'READ ALL ABOUT IT!' summer exhibition.
'The word on the street' brings to light in the digital age the news and ballads that enthralled ordinary folk in Scotland from the 17th to 20th century. The website is made up of 1,800 broadsides — single news-sheets — which were published over a three hundred year period. It is the first time these broadsides have been available to the public in digital form and have been drawn together from across the Library's vast collections.
Eoin Shalloo, curator, Rare Books Collections, says: 'The site lets you see for yourself what "the word on the street" was between the1600s and 1900s. For almost 300 years broadsides filled the place that is occupied today by the tabloid press. It's a wonderful resource and everyone from school children and academics to journalists and local history buffs will find something of interest. This virtual library is text-searchable, put in any word, place name or event and see what comes up or just have a browse through the subject categories — that's what makes this website unique.'
Each of the 1,800 broadsides is text-searchable. There is also a facility to search by subject categories such as place names, accidents, ballads, body snatching, Jacobites, murder, riots, sport and treason. Each broadside comes with a detailed commentary and transcription of the text, plus a downloadable PDF facsimile.
Broadsides were sold in the thousands on the street by hawkers and peddlers — street performers in their own right — and cost a halfpenny or a penny. At first they were used for the printing of royal proclamations and official notices, but later served as a vehicle for political agitation and what is now known as 'popular culture' such as ballads, songs and scaffold speeches.

<< -- 3 -- Madeline Jenkins Millard FAUST AND THE 'FREE WORLD'
Not until she received a phone call from Casey Goodwin, did Waggoner realize she was the target of a vendetta. 'The mother said: "I don't understand why you wouldn't let the kids sing Christmas songs but yet you'll teach them about the devil. Are you not a Christian?" And I thought, is that what this is about? I had no idea it would escalate to this.' It was the school's winter concert, which had taken place before Christmas. Waggoner, the school district's choral director, had planned the concert in the spirit of inclusivity: 'Being in a public school, you don't want to leave anyone out. Therefore, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Jews, the atheists -- you really steer away from singing songs about the birth of Jesus. And that's left to your own private religion. What's so ironic is that I did celebrate through music at my church, but not at school.' Four days before the concert, Cory Babi had phoned Waggoner, 'threatening there would be problems if there were not Christmas songs,' Waggoner recalls.
Waggoner reported Goodwin's phone call to the school principal, who instructed her to write a letter of apology to all the elementary school parents, which she did. 'I was definitely not sensitive to the conservative nature of the community, and I've learned that,' said Waggoner. At that time, Superintendent Sauter told the media the teacher should not have shown the video to children below the fourth grade, but that she was in no danger of losing her job.
In an attempt to relieve the situation, parents were invited to view the video. It backfired. Neither school administrators nor parents had inquired as to which parts of the opera the children had seen. So with the entire video at their disposal, ignorant of Faust, and unable to understand the French libretto, the Bennett Six fueled their stake burning with even more paranoia. 'Any adult with common sense would not think that video was appropriate for a young person to see,' said Robby Warner, mother of two children. 'I'm not sure it's appropriate for a high school student.' Counters Waggoner: 'I don't think my administrators could even tell you the story of Faust. We're dealing with people who have doctorates, yet once told me that a video about Leonardo da Vinci was inappropriate for high school seniors.' Tresa Waggoner was placed on paid administrative leave until the school board could meet to determine her fate.
Collateral damage included the cancellation of Opera Colorado's visit to Bennett. 'Let's put it this way,' Opera Colorado marketing director Becky Lathrop told The Denver Post's Jim Spencer, 'Bennett canceled the Opera Colorado production of Island of Tulipatan. My understanding is that the opera has what are called 'pants roles', where girls dress as boys and boys dress as girls, and they weren't comfortable with that.' Peter Russell, Opera Colorado's general director, added: 'If you want a bumpkin meter, there it is. Island of Tulipatan has no purpose except to make people laugh. It has as much to do with transvestites as a Joan Sutherland tape has to do with exorcism. If they don't get that in Bennett, there's no question who's afraid of opera. And it isn't the kids.'

Alabama Indigent Defense System to face Review in SCOTUS
Alabama is the only state that does not provide attorneys for indigent death row inmates throughout their state appeal. Lawyers representing some of those on death row in the state will soon ask the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a case challenging this practice. The attorneys will ask the Court to determine whether people facing execution have a constitutional right to an attorney as part of their right of meaningful access to the courts. Alabama maintains that it should be able to go it alone in this area despite the life and death risks at stake.
In Alabama, where 200 people are on death row and few have legal training or money to hire attorneys, a judge has the option, but is not required, to appoint an attorney who can assist those facing execution. The cap on compensation for this court-appointed attorney is $1,000, which must cover expenses associated with hundreds of hours of work that goes into a habeas petition. This means that many Alabama defense attorneys must agree to receive less than the minimum wage for the hours they spend reviewing the trial transcript and appellate record, conducting witness interviews, and completing other investigation and extensive legal research. If those on death row are forced to represent themselves, they have only one year to master the state's rules of criminal procedure, conduct investigations from prison, and prepare and file their own petitions for post-conviction relief.

Congress is budgeting another $2.36 billion for nanotech research over the next three years. That's just a little more than what they've already been spending in previous years, but it is still a lot of money. The US is hoping to see a flurry of inventions as a result of nanotech research. The bill would apparently steer the funds in various directions with nearly half going to National Science Foundation. Perhaps it's a good time to think about a career in nanotechnology?

Singer Avril Lavigne stopped by "Chelsea Lately" on Tuesday (Nov. 12), where she showed off her ginormous wedding ring and talks about her recent wedding to Nickelback guitarist Chad Kroeger.
"I actually thought it would take care of it better to have diamonds going around it," says Lavigne, of having her already-large engagement diamond reset.
As for her relationship with Kroeger, it sounds like like Lavigne is a little forgetful sometimes — she doesn't really remember the first time they met, nor does she remember much about her wedding.
"I'd been going around on this press tour talking about how we met in the studio … I thought we really met each other then, but later on we saw that picture on line and I remembered like 10 years ago at the MuchMusic Awards in Canada that we'd already actually met each other," says Lavigne, adding that Kroeger remembers meeting her then. But eventually, it all came back to Lavigne.
As for the wedding, "It was three days long and I don't remember much of that either," says Lavigne. "It was in the South of France. … sort of by Cannes. Basically we got married at like 9 o'clock at night and partied til 6 in the morning. I kind of remember the rest, but don't."
Lavigne also talks about her on-going friendship with singer Marilyn Manson: "He's very creative, he obviously wears makeup, he's an artist. He painted my nails, he's the one who shaved my head in France 10 years later. Every time I'm with him we always have fun with makeup."

CENTER, TX (KTRE) - The search for a child involved in a reported kidnapping in Shelby County has been called off and a family member is now in custody, according to police.
Around 12:30 a.m. Friday, Center Police confirmed an abducted 11-year-old girl was safe and the search for the possible suspect had ended.
Thursday, an unidentified woman left the child in her car outside the Loop 500 Convenience Store, according to Center Police detective Nicole Faulkner. Around 8:35 p.m., another woman reportedly came from the passenger side and into the driver's side of the maroon 2006 Ford Focus and took off with the child inside, along with the suspect's 15-year-old daughter.
Faulkner said the suspect was identified as a family member, 36-year-old Beatrice Pittman, of Center, and was first thought to be headed to the Kilgore/ Longview area. The incident is not believed to be a custody matter.
Tyler Police said an officer stopped the vehicle and spoke to Pittman, who then fled the scene. A pursuit ended at a bridge on Highway 69, north of Loop 323, when the vehicle rolled over.
Pittman, the 11-year-old victim, and Pittman's own child were uninjured. However, the three were taken to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler as a precaution. Pittman will also undergo a psychological evaluation.
Pittman was taken into custody by authorities and the children were released to relatives.
Center Police said they plan to charge Pittman with kidnapping and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Tyler Police is also filing charges.

Robert Byrd served three terms in the U.S. House before beginning the 51-year Senate career that would end with his death this summer.
Had Byrd remained in the House, his death would have led to a declaration that the seat he held was vacant. That declaration would have been followed by the calling of a special election and the seat would have been filled by the voters.
That is what the U.S. Constitution – a copy of which Byrd always carried in his coat pocket – stipulates.
No one is allowed to serve in the House without first facing voters.
It is unconstitutional to appoint a member of the chamber.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the Senate is supposed to be elected, governors have since 1913 interpreted a vague section in the Constitution's 17th amendment (which established direct election of senators) as allowing them to fill vacancies by appointment.
As such, many senators serve without having ever faced the voters. They cast critical votes on issues of war and peace, taxation and spending and the scope and character of the federal government. Often, they cloture votes make the difference in determining whether a major matter of concern will be addressed or neglected.
Before Byrd's death, the chamber had five unelected members – the replacements for President Obama (Illinois), Vice President Biden (Delaware), Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (New York), Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar (Colorado) and retired Senator Mel Martinez (Florida). Another unelected senator represented massachusetts for four months before a special-election was held in January of this year to replace the late Edward Kennedy.
Now, West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin has appointed his former chief counsel, Carte Goodwin, a West Virginia political hanger-on who has never held elective office and never earned a single vote for U.S. Senate from the people of the state, to replace Byrd.

The word "forbidden" was an interesting concept. It wasn't a label just anyone could slap on just anything. If it wasn't something people would care about to begin with, there wouldn't be a point in naming it "forbidden." On the other hand, calling it that would pique the interest of those inclined to break the rules. Otherwise, the forbidden fruit was just an apple—or a pomegranate, depending on who you asked—the forbidden forest was just a bunch of trees, the Forbidden City was just some place in China, and the forbidden third floor corridor was just a corridor. Granted, James made it a point of going everywhere in Hogwarts, strictly forbidden or otherwise. Naturally, he respected the rules of the school, knew that they were there for a reason, and even understood some of the reasons. As such, he'd only ventured into the third floor corridor a mere two hundred and forty-six times. That might sound like a large number, but compared to the six hundred and ninety-one times the Gryffindor had been to the kitchens, it wasn't very much at all.
It wasn't that the lion wanted to break the rules just to break them, not at all. That would've been petty and stupid, and really just a waste of time. No, it was just that this particular corridor was the only one in the school that led to James' favorite strange little passageway. The Gryffindor had no idea where else to find it, because, although one end could always be counted on to stay put on the third floor, the other side was always some place different. The seventh year had never, in the one hundred and thirty seven times he'd used the passageway, ended up in the same place twice. He imagined it had to repeat itself eventually, of course. There weren't an infinite number of places to go in the castle; it only seemed like that from his limited perspective. Then again, if no one used the passageway, who was to say it went anywhere at all? For all James knew, he was the only person who knew it existed, the only one who used it, and so the passage had never repeated itself. That seemed unlikely. Granted, not everyone at Hogwarts ventured into the forbidden corridor—it wouldn't be very effective then, would it?—but still, there were people who had been here. The lion had seen places in the castle with much more dust than this one, for one thing. In fact, there wasn't a speck of dust on the stone floor. It could be that the house elves kept it spotless, but they didn't do the same for other parts of the castle, so why would this abandoned stretch of corridor be any different? Unless it wasn't actually abandoned. If it had been, the word "forbidden" wouldn't have been put on it. Curiouser and curiouser. James couldn't resist a good mystery, not at Hogwarts. Curiosity was his middle name. Actually, no, it was Hugh, but never mind. The point was, the Gryffindor had come back two hundred and forty-five times after the first because it was all so incredibly strange. Well, that, and it was hard to resist the urge to see where the passageway would spill out to this time.
- Sofie wasn't quite sure why she was doing this. She wasn't the sort to get a thrill out of the adrenaline from breaking the rules; and neither was she the sort who just didn't care if they received detention. She couldn't just put up with being yelled at or told off; and she wasn't the type to be fine wandering a dark, scary and forbidden corridor in the middle of the night. Yet, she was doing it, so she might as well follow it through. All the teachers cared about recently was making sure things couldn't get in to the castle, rather than focusing on students around the castle. And anyway, she had Loki with her for company. She looked down to the floor on her left at the small grey tom with the startlingly green eyes and the mouth that seemed to be an amazingly human-like mischievous grin. It was for that she had named him after the Norse god of Trickery and Mischief. He looked up back at her, his slightly bent whiskers dropping down below his face and tickling the ground and he sniffed at her sock. Being at Hogwarts was like being at home, albeit a lot less cold, so she often just wore socks around the castle without any shoes, even to lessons.
As Sofie turned a corner, Loki let out a loud meow, even for him. Panicking just for a second, no other noises were eardrum and Sofie soon put it down to her imagination; until more strange goings-on happened. He heard footsteps, sometimes far, sometimes close; and the obvious subconscious traits of human life nearby, like breathing or light coughing. She started to breath quickly. Maybe she shouldn't read that horror story last night, even though it was fake. Or was it? She hoped so. That message at the front of the book that said "based on a true story" couldn't really mean that, right? She bit her lip and started to run, looking desperately for the exit to the long windy and oh-so forbidden corridor. She trend a corner and smacked into something, which she assumed was a wall. Trying to regain her balance, Sofie looked up and saw a person, taller than her, looking down upon her. She made a sort of squeak noise and let herself just flop to the ground, sitting on her buttocks waiting for whatever this humanoid creature she may have just aggravated to devour her. Loki pulled at it's leg ferociously, trying to protect his owner, with the occasional hisses and spits.</li>

The latest update hot on the heels of Google Panda 2.5
Google's procession of Panda updates continued last week with Panda 2.5.2 – which comes just a few days after Panda 2.5. The latest Panda update has been confirmed by Google's Matt Cutts via Twitter.
At this point, we are yet to see evidence of the latest Google Panda update affecting rankings across our database but we will investigate further to try to identify specific ranking spikes which may be attributable to Panda 2.5.2.
There has been a little bit of chatter internationally about the Google Panda update and how it has affected websites and generally speaking, the minor changes haven't been all that significant in terms of impact – not on quality sites at least.
Within the world of search engine optimization and online marketing, the various versions of the Google Panda update have dominated the headlines due to the impact they have had in rankings.
What does this mean for Australian businesses?
Google's Panda Update is a term loosely applied to the several hundred algorithmic changes in the pipeline in 2011. It is a key part of Google's march towards a better quality search experience for Google users – more accurate search results, delivered faster than ever before.
If you are a business that has generally produced quality online, the Panda updates should be a welcome development rather than a potential threat to your business. Quality signals are something all progressive online marketers should be welcoming with open arms as it distinguishes the best businesses from potential scammers.
