To be let alone: Brandeis foresaw privacy problems
What would the privacy-law champion make of surveillance programs like PRISM?
"Recent inventions and business methods call attention to the next step which must be taken for the protection of the person, and for securing to the individual … the right 'to be let alone' … Numerous mechanical devices threaten to make good the prediction that 'what is whispered in the closet shall be proclaimed from the house-tops.'"
Could be an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal or The Boston Globe about the National Security Agency's (NSA) secret surveillance programs, right?
A 34-year-old Boston lawyer named Louis Brandeis wrote these words 26 years before he would join the Supreme Court. The invention he referred to is the portable camera and the business methods, celebrity journalism.
Brandeis and his law partner Samuel Warren published "The Right to Privacy" in the Harvard Law Review in 1890, where it became the first major article to advocate for a legal right to privacy.
Nearly 30 years later, in 1928, with the popularization of the telephone and the invention of wiretapping, Supreme Court Justice Brandeis argued for a constitutional right to privacy in a dissenting opinion in Olmstead v. United States.
Today, technology and privacy are at another crossroads. When former NSA contractor Edward Snowden recently revealed the security agency conducts dragnet surveillance of the phone and Internet records of millions of Americans, he reignited the debate about a citizen's right to privacy.
"First as an attorney, then as a jurist, Brandeis was the single most import figure in the history of the concept of privacy," says Steve Whitfield, the Max Richter Professor of American Civilization.
Brandeis became the first justice to interpret a constitutional right to privacy in the Fourth Amendment, Whitfield says. He was also the first jurist to recognize the threat technology posed to citizens.
"The progress of science in furnishing the Government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wiretapping," Brandeis wrote in Olmstead, a case in which the government illegally wiretapped the conversations of a suspected bootlegger. "Ways may someday be developed by which the Government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home."
Today, Brandeis' words sound prophetic.
"Brandeis was ahead of his time in his awareness of the role technology played in evolving legal standards," explains President Frederick Lawrence, a noted legal scholar specializing in First Amendment issues.
It's difficult to speculate how Brandeis would respond to the NSA's massive electronic data mining program, known as PRISM. On one hand, Brandeis would want to protect citizens from intrusion. "He would be concerned about the accumulation of data that might be used to compromise individual privacy," Lawrence says.
On the other hand, Brandeis might have difficulty reconciling privacy and security. "Brandeis could not have anticipated the right of privacy would be pitted against national security and the challenge of terrorism," Whitfield says. "The stakes are considerably higher today than in Brandeis' time."
Also, the expectation of privacy has changed since Brandeis' era, Lawrence notes, thanks to Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and other social media sites. Today, many people voluntarily and actively give up their right "to be let alone."
"He would have a hard time in the Internet age, where there is nothing but information and no separation between your life and someone else's," says Dan Breen, a senior lecturer in legal studies.
What is certain, however, is that Brandeis would have welcomed a robust debate about privacy in the digital age, says Breen. "Brandeis believed in the value of experience. He would think that a genuine debate would be the best way to handle this situation."

9 [a]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
5 Every warrior's boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—
who say with pride
and arrogance of heart,
10 "The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;
the fig trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars."
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin's foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west
have devoured Israel with open mouth.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them,
nor have they sought the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed in a single day;
15 the elders and dignitaries are the head,
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
16 Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,
nor will he pity the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly and wicked,
every mouth speaks folly.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;
it consumes briers and thorns,
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched
and the people will be fuel for the fire;
they will not spare one another.
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;
on the left they will eat,
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[b]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;
together they will turn against Judah.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
10 Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
2 to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.
3 What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?
4 Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
5 "Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger,
in whose hand is the club of my wrath!
6 I send him against a godless nation,
I dispatch him against a people who anger me,
to seize loot and snatch plunder,
and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
7 But this is not what he intends,
this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.
8 'Are not my commanders all kings?' he says.
9 'Has not Kalno fared like Carchemish?
Is not Hamath like Arpad,
and Samaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand seized the kingdoms of the idols,
kingdoms whose images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
11 shall I not deal with Jerusalem and her images
as I dealt with Samaria and her idols?'"
12 When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, "I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes. 13 For he says:
"'By the strength of my hand I have done this,
and by my wisdom, because I have understanding.
I removed the boundaries of nations,
I plundered their treasures;
like a mighty one I subdued[c] their kings.
14 As one reaches into a nest,
so my hand reached for the wealth of the nations;
as people gather abandoned eggs,
so I gathered all the countries;
not one flapped a wing,
or opened its mouth to chirp.'"
15 Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it,
or the saw boast against the one who uses it?
As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up,
or a club brandish the one who is not wood!
16 Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors;
under his pomp a fire will be kindled
like a blazing flame.
17 The Light of Israel will become a fire,
their Holy One a flame;
in a single day it will burn and consume
his thorns and his briers.
18 The splendor of his forests and fertile fields
it will completely destroy,
as when a sick person wastes away.
19 And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few
that a child could write them down.
20 In that day the remnant of Israel,
the survivors of Jacob,
will no longer rely on him
who struck them down
but will truly rely on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.
21 A remnant will return,[d] a remnant of Jacob
will return to the Mighty God.
22 Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel,
only a remnant will return.
Destruction has been decreed,
overwhelming and righteous.
23 The Lord, the Lord Almighty, will carry out
the destruction decreed upon the whole land.
24 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:
"My people who live in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrians,
who beat you with a rod
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did.
25 Very soon my anger against you will end
and my wrath will be directed to their destruction."
26 The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip,
as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and he will raise his staff over the waters,
as he did in Egypt.
27 In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders,
their yoke from your neck;
the yoke will be broken
because you have grown so fat.[e]
28 They enter Aiath;
they pass through Migron;
they store supplies at Mikmash.
29 They go over the pass, and say,
"We will camp overnight at Geba."
Ramah trembles;
Gibeah of Saul flees.
30 Cry out, Daughter Gallim!
Listen, Laishah!
Poor Anathoth!
31 Madmenah is in flight;
the people of Gebim take cover.
32 This day they will halt at Nob;
they will shake their fist
at the mount of Daughter Zion,
at the hill of Jerusalem.
33 See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
will lop off the boughs with great power.
The lofty trees will be felled,
the tall ones will be brought low.
34 He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax;
Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. 10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, 11 according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. 13 I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

State filing confirms Evergreen shutdown
Statement released under owner's name contradicts memo sent to employees
Del Smith, founder and owner of Evergreen International Aviation, issued a statement at the close of the business day Friday denying a News-Register report that it intends to close its air cargo subsidiary, Evergreen International Airlines, at the end of the month.
However, Smith's statement was contradicted in an internal company memo Evergreen filed earlier in the day under the WARN Act, which requires notice of mass layoffs and plant closures. A Friday press release from the state agency said Evergreen would lay off 131 employees, but it did not address the issue of business closure.
In a Thursday memo copied to Smith and other Evergreen executives, and filed with the state Friday, Evergreen Human Resources Manager Monique Gregory said the cargo carrier intends to "end all operations." The memo was addressed to "All Evergreen International Airlines Employees."
"The last day of all operations will be November 30, 2013," Gregory wrote in her memo. "Therefore, the last day of employment for employees will range from current day (11/07/2013) through November 30, 2013, with a small number of specific employees remaining to complete the closing requirements … The loss of our company is very unfortunate; however, we appreciate your continued excellent service during this ending phase."
State rules require that such notices be filed 60 days in advance, but Evergreen actually provided fewer than 30 days. A former company employee estimated that the cargo hauler was already down to fewer than 140 employees when the notice was issued, but that could not be officially confirmed.
The News-Register began getting word Thursday morning, from both current and former employees, of the closure memo.
A reporter placed multiple calls to the company seeking comment, but they went unreturned Thursday and Friday, even though the story began circulating Thursday evening online and Friday morning in print.
The denial released under Smith's name arrived shortly before 5 p.m. Friday. It came less than an hour after state issuance of a press release on the company's WARN Act filing.
In the release, Smith said:
"As has previously been reported in the press, Evergreen's business has been adversely impacted over the past several years by decreased demand in military spending and weakness in global economic markets. Management has moved to aggressively address these challenges, including through the divestiture of businesses and assets and the significant reduction of secured debt. Evergreen is in discussions with its significant constituencies and is exploring available strategic alternatives with those constituencies. While Evergreen does not generally comment on market rumor or conjecture, rumors that a decision has been made to cease operations at this time are false. Evergreen remains committed to continuing to address the current business environment with its customers."
The contradiction could not be immediately rectified, as the business day had closed by the time it was received.
The Portland Business Journal was the first news outlet to obtain a copy of the memo filed with the state and report on its contents. It filed a story early Friday evening noting the discrepancy between Smith's statement and the memo filed with the state.

U.S. Seeks Abe Assurance He Won't Visit War Shrine
Officials Are Seeking to Ease Tensions in East Asia
WASHINGTON—U.S. officials say they are seeking assurances from Japan that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won't repeat a visit to a war shrine that angered China and South Korea and will ask Mr. Abe to consider reaffirming Tokyo's previous formal apologies over World War II in a bid to ease tensions in East Asia.
But even as Washington looks for calm, Seoul and Beijing bristled again this week over new comments by Mr. Abe on his shrine visit, underscoring the challenges the U.S. faces in its diplomatic push....

EATONTON, Ga. - Powered by a final round 287, the No. 8 Georgia College & State University golf squad won its home tournament the Bobcat Invitational, today (March 24) at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee. Georgia College's Francisco Bide (Buenos Aires, Argentina/El Diamante (Calif.)) won individual medalist honors as the only competitor under par.
The Bobcats led the first and final rounds, with No. 2 Columbus State University owning the lead after two. The Bobcats finished fired a 284-288-287=859, toppling the second-place Cougars by seven strokes (866). No. 6 Nova Southeastern University was third at 870, No. 15 Valdosta State University was fourth at 876 and No. 20 Barry University and No. 3 Florida Southern College tied for fifth.
"This win particularly means a lot considering this year's field," said GCSU head coach Jimmy Wilson of the 12 teams in the top-20 of the GolfStat Head-to-Head Rankings. "This is by far the toughest tournament we've played this year."
The win marks the first team victory for the Bobcats since taking the 2008 NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament May 7, 2008. Georgia College has won its host tournament just twice, with the first victory coming around five years ago.
Bide shot a final-round 66 to go with a pair of 71s (208) for two-under par. Two strokes behind was No. 12 University of West Florida's Kyle Scott. Bide's 66 was the low round for the day, and also matched the low for the tournament. He had five birdies in today's round. Nova Southeastern's Greg O'Mahony was three strokes back.
For GCSU, Bide was one of three top-20 finishers, as junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) was leading after two rounds and fell to 16th (72-67-78=217) and sophomore Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) took 20th (72-73-73=218). Junior Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) finished 32nd carding a 69-77-76=222, and sophomore Billy Shida (Berkeley Lake, Ga.) shot a 76-77-72=225 for 40th.
The Bobcats also had three competing as individuals, with Matthew Yonz (Waycross, Ga.) 45th, Bayley Craig (Eatonton, Ga.) 91st and Rich Crumpton (Eatonton, Ga.) 95th.
Georgia College is back in action April 20 at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championships in hosted by UNC Pembroke.

Across the country, one step at a time
Special to the Daily
Summit County, CO Colorado
There are people in this world who are driven, motivated by some force, internal or external, that sends them along difficult and unpredictable paths. Some, though, are clearly more driven than others, battling privations, physical pain and unimaginable challenges. Marshall Ulrich, one of the world's top extreme athletes, is such a person.
A marathon is challenging, certainly, as is an Ironman competition, most definitely, and climbing Everest is the pinnacle of achievement, of course. He's done all those. But what about running more than 116 marathons in one race … at the age of 57? Now that requires something extra, something the average athlete does not possess.
What does it mean to achieve a dream, when the imagined goal is so out of reach? In the captivating memoir "Running on Empty," Colorado's own Ulrich explains the drive, the physical and mental challenges and the resiliency involved in tackling such a feat. But what exactly does it take to send someone on such a path in the first place?
As is often the case, personal tragedy is the motivating force. Facing a terminal cancer diagnosis for his young wife, the mother of his children, Ulrich turns to running to manage his stress. Confronting his own mortality, and with his own health concerns compounded by the eventual passing of his wife, running quickly becomes an escape, an escape from family, from decisions, from responsibilities. Ulrich is the first to admit his early attempts at running were less a run toward better health and well-being and more a dash away from the tragedy eclipsing his life.
Very quickly, though, his desire to run leads him to a new soulmate, one who sees his drive for what it is and who supports him wholeheartedly. With the wind of a loving relationship at his back, Ulrich sets out to do the unimaginable, a coast-to- coast run, in record time, and he does it at an age when most people are beginning to think about slowing down.
In this well-written account, Ulrich shines an unflinching light on the day-to-day hurdles involved in his cross-country run, inspiring and motivating the reader. Through stifling heat, personal challenges, periods of self-doubt and physical torment, Ulrich puts one rapidly swelling foot in front of the other … for 52 days. Ulrich's obsessive drive wins the day, and "Running on Empty" succeeds in inspiring lesser mortals.

From the 5 episodes I've watched so far, I think Hadewych is the Mole. If Anne Marie or Leisbeth were the Mole, the show wouldn't be making such a big deal of contestants suspecting them.
I couldn't stand to bear the wait, so I watched the episode in Dutch. I have a pretty decent idea of what happens in the end. I couldn't understand what the h*** was happening in the beginning. If you want info, PM me.
So, before we move onto the final reveal..What are your predictions for the Finale?? SuperTux, you mentioned you think Hadewych is the Mole, so who is the winner and runner-up according to you? Georgiapeach, ZouLy, Squall16 - what are your thoughts??
Quote from: Coolio! on March 04, 2012, 09:18:55 PMI couldn't stand to bear the wait, so I watched the episode in Dutch. I have a pretty decent idea of what happens in the end. I couldn't understand what the h*** was happening in the beginning. If you want info, PM me.Info on what, on how you didn't understand it?? Oh and if you decide you 'can't wait anymore' next week, be so nice to NOT go and tell people here, because that would ruin the outcome for some people who actually want to watch the show. Sorry people but this has been a very busy weekend for everyone here mainly due to holidays (and a conference in the US, and birthday celebrations...) which means that the only help I was offered also bailed out, alas. I'll try to get his part done as soon as I can and have it ready here asap.
In the question 21 concerning Quartet game in this episode, only two choices were given, not three.Does it mean thatShow content Liesbeth is not the Mole?
Thing is though in another test-question there was also a 'mistake', i.e. question No. 28, how much money did the Mole's envelope contain.Anne-Marie's contained 1250,- not 1500,-Personally I don't think the lack of one specific answer would be a hint, but who knows. Not sure why they did it, perhaps to get some suspicion on one or two people.
Anne-Marie is the mole, Hadewych #1orLiesbeth is the mole, Hadewych #1
I'm thinking about devising a special reward challenge for WIDM. Any contestant who's won the reward challenge can know his/her score in the quiz in this episode.
P.S. I still have no clue about what the missing answers meant in the final quiz. The finale didn't talk about that.
I don't think contestants should focus too much on misleading other contestants. Come on, bring some money to the pot. It was an easy job for the Mole this season...

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Nick Netting (Arlington, Va.) forced a team-high three turnovers to pace the Lees-McRae College men's lacrosse team on Sunday afternoon, as Wheeling Jesuit University outscored the Bobcats by a 6-1 margin in the second half en route to a 15-3 victory in non-conference play on Tate Field.
Lees-McRae (0-13) celebrated its seniors with a special ceremony prior to the opening face-off, honoring Netting, Justin McLaughlin (Charlotte, N.C.) and Jon Batsel (Raleigh, N.C.) for their contributions to the men's lacrosse program.
Wheeling Jesuit (7-5) outshot the Bobcats by a 54-20 margin in the contest, including a 27-10 advantage in the first half, as Lees-McRae converted 14 clears and won eight face-offs. The Cardinals scooped up 46 grounders and converted 18 clearing attempts, while the Bobcats posted 31 ground balls.
Ryan Harrison (Lake Mary, Fla.) turned in another strong performance between the pipes for the Bobcats, making 21 saves while adding four grounders and one caused turnover. Dalton Lamb (Clemmons, N.C.), Nick Meyer (St. Louis, Mo.), and Jeff White (Middle Township, N.J.) each found the back of the net in the contest, as White added five grounders and one assist.
McLaughlin chipped in four ground balls and one caused turnover, as Netting and Alex Poole (Winston-Salem, N.C.) each forced three changes of possession.
Jared Sims and Connor Summers paced the Cardinals with two goals and one assist each, as Rob Mills and Matt DeVries both added two strikes of their own. Bryce Brochu posted a game-high two assists, while Evan Hodel scooped up a contest-best six grounders and won 11-of-14 face-offs. Zach Crabtree and Nick Messner forced four and three turnovers, respectively.
Wheeling Jesuit jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before the Bobcats responded, halving the advantage to 2-1 on a strike by Meyer at the 10:32 mark. The Cardinals would answer with seven straight goals, pushing the margin to 9-1 following Sims' man-up strike with 4:21 to play in the second quarter.
White countered for the Bobcats, trimming the lead to 9-2 heading into the intermission before Lamb opened the scoring in the second half, cutting the margin to 9-3 at the 10:39 mark of the third quarter.
The Lees-McRae defense picked up its intensity in the second half, forcing 10 of the Cardinals' 15 turnovers over the final 30 minutes of play as Harrison keyed the Bobcats with 11 saves. The Bobcats would hold Wheeling Jesuit to six goals in the second half, including four in the fourth quarter, as Lees-McRae's defense allowed just three more goals to the Cardinals than third-ranked Limestone College.
Lees-McRae returns to action on Wednesday when the Bobcats host Belmont Abbey College at 4 p.m. on Tate Field in their final home game of the season.

Sunday, two teen-age Steubenville, Ohio, football players were convicted of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a high school party.
Starting from the night of the assault last August, their rape case was one of the most widely publicized in American history — largely because the assailants and their witnesses whipped out their cellphones to document the event in real time.
In sentencing the boys to a minimum of one year in juvenile jail, Judge Thomas Lipps doled out some advice to their peers on how to avoid the same fate. He urged them "to have discussions about how you talk to your friends; how you record things on the social media so prevalent today; and how you conduct yourself when drinking is put upon you by your friends."
That's an unfortunate message to leave the teen-agers of Steubenville, and the world that is watching. The "social media so prevalent today" did not cause a sexual assault in a small Ohio town. In fact, social media is what made the case prosecutable.
Following the events of the party, news of the assault spread through the community — and later, the media — in a web of incriminating text messages, self-referential tweets, Instagrammed photos and forwarded cellphone videos. The victim herself testified that she could only confirm she had been assaulted after she "read text messages among friends and saw a photo of herself naked, along with a video that made fun of her and the alleged attack."
Thanks to social media, this wasn't another case of "he said, she said." It was a case of "they all said." As the victim's mother told the boys, "you were your own accuser, through the social media that you chose to publish your criminal conduct on."
Certainly, social media can be wielded as a weapon. Each classmate who "liked" an Instagram photo of the unconscious girl being dragged by her hands and feet, or tweeted to the world that she was a "whore," participated in her victimization. But as the course of this prosecution shows, social media can be a powerfully positive tool in fighting sexual assault, too. Cellphone videos can be forwarded to authorities, not circulated as jokes. Text messages can be used to identify rapists, not shame victims. And photos can establish central facts, not publicize humiliation.
Unfortunately, Judge Lipps didn't warn teen-agers to reassess the attitudes that led to this sexual assault in their community, or the beliefs that inspired bystanders to side with the rapists over the victim. Instead, he told them to watch how they "record things." It sounds like he's advising teens to cover their tracks better, not to prevent rapes in the first place. Social media is a way of life. Rape doesn't have to be. And the more teens joining a discussion about it on social media, the better.

Bringing Waterjet Cutting Inhouse--a Lucrative Decision
When wind-turbine manufacturer Kronos Energy Solutions, Cordova, TN, sought to improve its own level of green-fabricating processes, it turned to waterjet cutting to take on a portion of its production, custom and prototyping work. Kronos designs and manufactures small vertical-axis turbines. Company president and CEO John Bogensberger launched Kronos in 2009; prior to that, he worked for a high-production manufacturing company fabricating primarily sheetmetal. "I first saw waterjet-cutting machines at an IMTS show in 1998," Bogensberger says. "I was intrigued with the process because it produced no toxic gases, dust nor dangerous chemicals. But I felt I couldn't justify the machines in a high-production environment cutting sheetmetal."
Kronos Energy Solutions designs and manufactures small vertical-axis turbines. Company president and CEO John Bogensberger launched Kronos in 2009, initially outsourcing fabrication work such as oxyfuel cutting of turbine components.
Bogensberger took a fresh look at waterjet cutting—and began to think seriously about bringing the work inhouse—after attending the FABTECH 2010 show in Atlanta. There he was introduced to a new waterjet-cutting machine, the Mach 4 model from Flow, outfitted with the company's Dynamic Waterjet XD technology. "We've als known that the waterjet-cutting process is extremely flexible, but when I experienced the speed and accuracy possible with the Mach 4, we knew we had to have one."
Victory Over Stream Lag and Taper
Two types of part-quality issues typically plague abrasive waterjet cutting: stream lag and taper. Both of these accuracy hurdles can be cleared by significantly reducing cutting speed, but cycle time and cost per part rise with equal significance.
Stream lag—evidenced by the exit point of the waterjet lagging behind the entrance point—causes geometry errors as it sweeps out cone shapes instead of circles, and causes corner wash-out on inside corners. And, V-shaped taper naturally occurs as the power of the waterjet dissipates during cutting. The faster the cutting speed the greater the kerf-taper error, which can be as much as 0.01 in. per side. As with stream lag, slowing cutting speed will minimize taper, but will restrict productivity and increase garnet consumption per inch of cut.
|Since Kronos installed this Mach 4 FlowJet waterjet-cutting system—outfitted with a 13- by 6.5-ft. table—costs compared to outsourcing work have reduced dramatically, allowing the company to pass savings directly onto its customers.
Flow's Dynamic Waterjet with Active Tolerance Control avoids taper and stream lag during flat-stock cutting, says the company, maximizing cutting speed. The technology combines control software with precision machine-tool design and an articulated end-of-arm wrist.
Ownership Has its Advantages
Since Kronos installed its Mach 4 FlowJet waterjet-cutting system, outfitted with a 13- by 6.5-ft. table, costs compared to outsourcing its cutting work have reduced dramatically. "For example," says Bogensberger, "we had previously outsourced work to a gear manufacturer at a cost of $103.00 per gear. With our FlowJet, cutting the same gear now costs about $1.40, without the need for any secondary machining. That's savings we can pass directly onto the customer."
Additionally, Kronos can easily scale ring gears for its wind turbines, or the vane head size, to meet specific customer performance requirements or space constraints. And with its waterjet-cutting machine, it can make such product-design and configuration changes up to the last minute without the delay or extra charges when outsourcing.
The flexibility of the waterjet-cutting process allows the company to cut virtually any material, whether stainless or carbon steel, aluminum alloys or rubber. "We made a Lexan display case with interlocking joints," says Bogensberger, "and didn't have to use even a single screw to assemble the case. We waterjet-cut slot and peg configurations instead, also avoiding the need for fixturing during assembly."
Sales director Frank Garavelli describes another waterjet-cutting success story. "We have a new customer that was purchasing raw material, sending it to a blanker and then onto a metal-processing facility," he says. "Parts fabricated on a punch press required secondary deburring, and the parts had a 0.030-in. dimensional variance from top to bottom. In all, six different operations performed by various suppliers were required to produce parts to print.
"Now, fabricating the parts on our FlowJet," continues Garavelli, "we simply order the raw material, cut and form the parts and they're ready for assembly. There's no need to deburr or hone down uneven edges."
Support for Other Green Applications
Since adding waterjet cutting to its inhouse resume of fabricating processes, Kronos has been able to expand its customer base beyond the wind-energy market and into other green markets. For example, it's fabricating aerodynamic skirt-side fairings for long-haul trucks, to reduce drag and improve gas mileage.
"With our FlowJet, we can customize the look to meet trucker or fleet-design requirements," says Bogensberger. "Whether it's a logo, contact information or an applique to match artwork on the truck, we can quickly meet customer expectations." Other new ventures have included custom flooring applications and even cutting 5-in. concrete for a church sculpture.
"The bottom line is that the FlowJet has expanded our capabilities and improved our net income by at least 20 percent," surmises Bogensberger. "Due to our ability to prototype and offer design flexibility for our wind turbines, as well as perform custom work, we calculate our return on investment at 22 months."

UConn's Napier named most outstanding player
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Connecticut's exclusive club of elite guards welcomed a new member Monday night.
Amid a rain of confetti, Shabazz Napier basked in the celebration on the court after being named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four following the 60-54 win over Kentucky.
Napier had 22 points on 8-of-16 shooting with six rebounds, and played lockdown defense in his final collegiate game.
His career began as a freshman on the 2011 Connecticut team that won the title behind star guard Kemba Walker.
Now, Napier is the man.
"I will say one thing when they say Ray, Rip, Ben, Emeka, Kemba — they'll soon say Shabazz," former coach Jim Calhoun, who won the 2011 title, said after watching the 2014 squad cut down the nets.
Calhoun was referring to Ray Allen, Richard "Rip" Hamilton, Ben Gordon, Emeka Okafor and Kemba Walker. All except Okafor were guards.
Not bad company at all.
The Huskies' steely point guard outshined Kentucky's freshmen phenoms. Napier and fellow backcourt mate Ryan Boatright controlled the tempo and together outscored Wildcats twin guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison 36-15.
On Saturday against Florida in the semifinals, Napier had 12 points and six assists.
"He's up there, he's up there," forward Niels Giffey said when asked where Napier rated among the history of Huskies guards. "He bleeds blue. He bleeds UConn."
Napier looked like a floor general the way he directed players on offense with forceful motions. Instead of sulking after one blown play, Napier waited down court for his teammates and raised his right fist.
Giffey said Napier promised his team after the 10-point loss to Louisville in the AAC tournament finals last month that they would cut down the nets in Texas.
"I looked into his eyes and I really believed him," Giffey said.

The other day I wanted something resembling stuffed manicotti, but without the pasta, tomatoes, and cheese. Funny, right? Don't scoff at how weird that might seem. I didn't want the manicotti, I wanted the idea of manicotti - something stuffed, covered in sauce, and baked. Do I like manicotti? That's complicated. I love how it tastes and looks and smells, but I hate how it makes me feel. So in all, I can't really say I like manicotti, I just like the idea of manicotti. Good in theory, bad in practice. I'm guessing many of you know exactly what I mean! Sometimes you just miss the idea of a food or a dish, but not really the food itself.
This was a fun exercise in spontaneous measuring and mixing, my favorite way to cook. In no time, I had made my salmon stuffing and prepared my sauce, and it was time to fill those happy little collards up. So, I stuffed 'em, rolled 'em, covered 'em with sauce, sprinkled 'em with onions, and put 'em in the oven to bake. The result? Total success! And they looked beautiful. The bright green collards were striking against the vibrant, rust colored sauce; my spontaneous creation of humble leftovers and canned fish looked downright fancy. And it smelled really delicious and tasted even better. Vegetarian and vegan friends, I think you could easily substitute tempeh or baked tofu (or some imitation-meat product) for the salmon in this recipe, and turn out something just as wonderful.
I only made two rolls, but I doubled the recipe below to make four. One roll is surprisingly filling, and could easily serve as an entree item if served with a salad, cooked vegetables, cooked grains, soup, or something else. These rolls would be delicious served with a side of garlicky, risotto-style rice. I hear that short grain brown rice, if cooked with extra water/stock (3:1) for a little longer than usual makes a pretty good cheat for arborio rice. Haven't tried it yet myself, but let me know if you do!
Salmon Stuffed Baked Collard Rolls with Red Pepper-Carrot Sauce
- 2 5-6 oz cans salmon OR 8-12 oz tempeh, baked tofu, or other meat substitute
- 6 large collard leaves
- 2 small or 1 large kohlrabi
- 1 medium onion
- 1/2 celery branch
- 2 large carrots
- 1/2 c roasted red pepper halves/strips (about 1 whole pepper if home roasting)
- 1 tsp tarragon
- 1 tsp basil
- 1 T olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Drain salmon and put in bowl. If using tempeh, tofu, or an imitation meat product, decide if you want to have it in strips, cubed, finely chopped/crumbled, or whatever. Prepare it however you'd like, and place in a bowl.
- Peel onion, cut in quarters. Finely mince one quarter of the onion, and add to salmon/meat substitute. Finely slice remaining onion and set aside.
- Next, steam your veggies in batches:
- WAsh collards, and cut out tough portion of stem. Part of your leaf may be 'forked' at the end after cutting out the stalk - that's okay! Steam collard leaves for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and bright green. Remove, let cool, and pat dry. Reserve 4 of the largest leaves. Cut the other two in half lengthwise, layer, and roll lengthwise to make a cigar-sized roll. Then, finely slice through the roll, working your way from one end to the other - this technique is called a chiffonade. Add sliced collards to bowl with salmon and onions.
- Cut kohlrabi into chunks and steam until just tender. Finely dice about one half of the steamed kohlrabi, and add to salmon and collards. Place the remaning kohlrabi chunks in a blender, or if using an immersion blender, a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 c minced celery to salmon/vegetarian option, and steam the remaining celery and carrots until tender. Place steamed carrots and celery in blender with kohlrabi, and add roasted red peppers, stock, olive oil, and blend until smooth. Add salt, pepper, basil, and tarragon to taste, and blend again until well mixed. Set aside.
- Mix salmon/vegetarian option, collards, kohlrabi, celery, and onion, and add basil, salt, and pepper; stir until well mixed.
- Place one quarter of salmon/veggie mixture at top of collard leaf, fold in left and right sides, and roll up lengthwise, like a burrito. If leaf is forked at the bottom from removing the stalk, just try to pull the pieces together, layering slightly, and wrap around roll. Perfect! Repeat rolling process with remaining salmon/veggie mixture and remaining collard leaves.
- Spread a small amount of sauce on the bottom of an 11x7 inch glass baking dish. Place collard rolls in pan, and pour sauce over rolls. Toss remaining sliced onions in a little olive oil, and if desired, a mix of your favorite gluten free flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry basil. Sprinkle coated onions over sauce and rolls, and place dish in the oven.
- Bake at 350 until warmed through and onions are golden, about 35-45 minutes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Soviet Union was the Cold War threat, Ian Fleming's creation James Bond was headed to the screen as Sean Connery in "Dr. No" and the U.S. established a new system for doling out foreign aid.
Fifty-one years later, a leading House Democrat closing out three decades in Congress says a new structure to provide U.S. assistance worldwide is long overdue, and he has a plan.
California Rep. Howard Berman, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, unveiled a 923-page bill on Wednesday that would replace the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 with a framework for providing developmental and economic U.S. aid. Berman's Global Partnerships Act of 2012 would change the aid system to focus on mutually agreed goals instead of the emphasis on donor-recipient ties, increase accountability and oversight, and eliminate duplication.
It also would repeal 1961 provisions like the one that limits aid to countries "controlled by the international communist conspiracy."
Berman, who lost his re-election bid last month, said he didn't expect Congress to act on the measure in the closing days of the session, but hoped it would be a starting point in a future debate about foreign aid. He said he had spoken to his replacement on the committee, Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and the panel's next chairman, Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., about the legislation.
At a sometimes humorous Capitol Hill news conference, Berman made the case for the measure, offering up a top 12 list of reasons to coincide with the date — 12-12-12. He also jokingly apologized to late-night talk-show host David Letterman, famed for his top 10 lists.
One reason, Berman said, is "because if James Bond can adapt to the post-Cold War era, so can foreign aid." Another was "is there anyone who thinks that foreign aid is just fine the way it is?"
And in a bit of self-deprecation, Berman joked that his staff members needed something to put on their resumes "and so do I."
In a separate session with reporters, Berman said people were losing confidence in foreign aid, which accounts for about 1 percent of the federal budget or about $50 billion a year for the State Department and other international programs. He also said Congress is often driven by the latest crisis and the legislation would give lawmakers and the Obama administration a chance to step back and rethink the system.
"This is a chance to do something bigger," Berman said. "I hope it doesn't go in a dustbin."

Jenna Dewan-Tatum Shares Awkward Naked Couples Massage Story [VIDEO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Jenna Dewan-Tatum recently appeared on E!'s 'Chelsea Lately' and shared with Chelsea Handler a story about getting a naked couples massage with her husband, Channing Tatum.
"In Vancouver, there's an Indian spa, where they don't tell you this, but they take you in there and they put you in a sari and then they take it off, so you're completely butt naked," she told Handler.
"You're normally naked, but it's like dark lighting," she continued. "First of all, there were really beautiful Indian women, so already I was like, 'Maybe I'm regretting this.' And then I'm watching Chan be mortified—this is the funniest part—because I'm sitting there in the steam so I go first and I'm like, 'Oh, he has no idea.' Like, she saw him just sitting there naked and then they bring him out and he's just completely naked, and she completely knows who he is, obviously."
"Yes!" Dewan-Tatum replied. "He looks at me like, 'I am going to kill you.'"

TOKYO, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, facing gloomy economic forecasts, cleared the way for a Dec. 16 election Friday by dissolving Parliament's lower house.
Noda's decision for an early general election could mean his struggling Democratic Party of Japan may lose power it has held since 2009, with the return of the Liberal Democratic Party to leadership, Kyodo News reported.
The opposition has been pressing Noda to keep a promise, made in August, to go to the people "sometime soon" for their support in passing a key bill to double the 5 percent sales tax by 2015, the report said.
The announcement came on the same day the Noda government reduced its forecast for the economy for the fourth straight month, citing the global economic slowdown, which has adversely affected exports.
Earlier this week, the government reported the economy shrank at an annualized 3.5 percent in the July-September quarter, which represented a 0.9 percent contraction in the gross domestic product from the previous quarter. Another contraction in the next quarter could push the economy into a recession.
Japan's economy, the third largest in the world after the United States and China, was hit hard by a devastating earthquake and tsunami in March of last year.
Making matters more difficult for the Noda government, Japanese exports have been affected by a rising yen and by an East China Sea island territorial dispute with China. China is a major trading partner of Japan and the territorial dispute has begun to affect bilateral trade estimated at about $350 billion annually.
Kyodo said ratings for Noda's Party have plunged to roughly half of the opposition LDP's in recent opinion polls.
Noda is Japan's sixth prime minister in six years.
Kyodo said Noda, in his re-election campaign, is expected to promote Japan's participation in the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade talks, which he believes would lead to economic recovery.
LDP leader Shinzo Abe, who would become prime minister if his party wins, said: "Both the LDP and the public have waited for this day for three years."

But in addition to kicking the tires and taking a test drive, consumers need to shop hard to make their way through an array of auto loans.
Despite a rocky economy, U.S. auto sales in August were up nearly 18 percent compared to a year ago and 2002 is shaping up as another strong year. Discount financing was credited with clearing 2002 models off dealer lots.
Sorting out financing options - from credit unions, savings and loans, banks and automakers - has grown increasingly complicated, even at a time when rates are low.
"Car shoppers negotiate and negotiate" on the price of a car, said Mary Butler, senior editor at cars.com, "and then walk into the finance-and-insurance office and forget it all."
General Motors is offering no-interest financing on loans of up to 60 months for qualified buyers on all its remaining 2002 models. On 2003 models, GM and Chrysler are offering no-interest loans for three years on 2003 models, plus special low rates for longer-term loans.
Ford Motor Co. is taking a different tack, offering no payments on loans until January, plus no-interest financing or cash rebates up to $3,500 per vehicle.
While zero percent and low-rate car loans are alluring, only about half of all shoppers qualify for those rates, which require strong credit.
That leaves half of new-car shoppers, as well as most used-car shoppers, looking for traditional financing from banks and credit unions or loans from other financiers. And that's where doing your homework really comes in.
It isn't a case of one size fits all. Loan rates vary, largely depending on the borrower's credit but also by lender, by the term of the loan, by the amount borrowed compared to the value of the vehicle.
Even credit unions, which for decades quoted only one interest rate for all their members, now offer varying rates based on the borrowers' credit records.
"Among our members, about 60 percent qualify as 'A' credits," which is the best rating, said Kyle Coke, senior vice president of lending at Fort Worth (Texas) Community Credit Union. Another 20 percent are "B" credits and another 20 percent rank as "C" credits, he estimated. Shoppers who can qualify for zero percent or other discount financing still should consider another alternative: the manufacturer's rebate. Buyers of inexpensive vehicles or those who make a larger down payment and hence borrow less need to look at whether discount financing or a rebate is a better deal.
"If you've got great credit and qualify for 6 percent anyway, maybe a $3,000 rebate is better," said Rick Cantalini, general manager of Vandergriff Buick and Chevrolet in Arlington, Texas. "In some cases, the payment will be cheaper."
For example, a $15,000 loan for 6 percent over 48 months would cost $1,909 in interest over the life of the loan. If the rebate is more than that, take it; if it's less than that, look at the manufacturer's discount financing. Another wrinkle comes if the discount financing is limited to a relatively short term, like two or three years. Even at zero percent, a $20,000 loan would cost $555.56 a month to repay in just three years - too steep for many household budgets.
A four-year loan at a discounted rate of 2.9 percent would mean a monthly payment of $441.80. That might fit the budget better, even though it will mean paying $1,207 in interest over the life of the loan. You could get the payment lower, to $376.51, with a five-year loan at a discount rate of 4.9 percent, although that would mean paying $2,591 in interest.
A good business calculator that can handle loan payments is a big help here. Or use one of the many online calculators, such as those at bankrate.com or cars.com.
Consumers who arrange auto financing through a dealership are likely to pay a little higher rate for that convenience.
Here's how it works: Dealerships solicit loan bids from lenders based on credit information supplied by the potential buyer, along with the size and length of the loan desired. The rate at which a lender is willing to make a loan to that particular buyer is called the "buy rate."
The dealership can bring that rate back to the borrower; if accepted, the dealer will earn a fee, most commonly $50 to $100, from the lender as compensation for originating the loan. A similar fee is paid for arranging the factories' discount-financing offers.
But the dealership may also choose to quote a higher rate to the borrower.
Fort Worth area dealers said dealer mark-ups on loan rates constitute a reasonable fee for arranging financing but also said that competition keeps the mark-up limited.
Cantalini said the practice isn't as lucrative as often portrayed.
"We don't really think that charging a lot of added rate is a good business practice," Cantalini said. He said that when Vandergriff dealerships arrange a loan it typically includes a markup of less than 1 percentage point.
Don Allen, general manager of Jerry's Pontiac-Buick-GMC and Nissan dealerships in Weatherford, Texas, also said the mark-up is generally less than a percentage point.
"This is a service we perform, to keep the buyer from having to shop for a loan," Allen said. "We want these customers for life," he added, so it wouldn't make sense to abuse a buyer by jacking up the interest rate excessively.
Reese Hillard, owner of three Saturn dealerships in Tarrant County, Texas, said the variety of manufacturer financing has diminished the number of loans with mark-ups.
"In the mid-1990s, factory financing wasn't as prevalent and you could make money on the spreads," Hillard said. But now, he estimates that close to 85 percent of his new-car buyers qualify for discounted financing through General Motors Acceptance Corp.

FREMONT — A woman was hospitalized Wednesday after two gunmen broke into her house, bound her head with duct tape and robbed the home while her infant granddaughter was inside, police said.
The home-invasion robbery call came to police about 2:40 p.m. from a home on the 4200 block of Deep Creek Road between Shylock Drive and Othello Road, police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques said.
The 55-year-old woman and her 9-month-old granddaughter were inside when two men entered through an unlocked rear door, police said.
The woman, in the kitchen cooking when the men broke in, told officers she was held at gunpoint, then bound with duct tape around the head.
The men took some items and fled in an unknown direction, possibly out the front door onto Deep Creek Road, Bosques said.
The infant, who was in another room, was not injured during the home invasion.
At some point, the woman woke up from possibly blacking out, managed to crawl to her cell phone and called a family member, who in turn called 911.
Police and paramedics responded and took the woman to a hospital with minor injuries, including bruising and soreness, Bosques said.
"Her head was bound with duct tape and she had difficulty breathing during the incident," Bosques said. "This is a very scary incident and we feel extremely bad for the victim and her family. No one should ever have to go through something like this. Be assured we are dedicating the necessary resources to this investigation and will do everything we can to locate the individuals responsible."
Police described the first suspect as an Asian man, 30-35 years old with black hair, 5 feet 10 inches and weighing 200 pounds. He wore a white, short-sleeved T-shirt and a baseball cap.
The second suspect was described as an Asian adult male, 30-35 years old, 5 feet 10 inches, 200 pounds, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call 510-790-6900 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Another Fremont residence was targeted in a home invasion on Saturday when a suspect reportedly duct-taped and sexually assaulted a woman while her adult daughter was bound by duct tape in another room.
Police arrested a Fremont man, Jamala Morris, 34, as suspect in the case.
Authorities say Morris broke into a residence on Paseo Padre Parkway and was waiting in one of the bedrooms when the mother and her daughter arrived home near midnight Saturday. Detectives arrested him about 10:45 a.m. Sunday at his residence.

Author: Vera and Bill Cleaver
Cover: 3/5
Charaters: 4/5
Plot: 3/5
Overall Rating: 3/5
This was a very quick read for me, but I thought it was pretty good. I thought that Mary Call was a very strong main character. I also thought that Romey was very mature for his 10 years of age, but he also was realistic because he did show his age in some of his actions. I thought he was very well thought out, and I admit, I did like the book. It was a little short for my taste, but all in all was a good short read.
Mary Call has true Appalachian grit. When her dying father makes her promise to keep her brother and sisters together forever on the mountain and take no help from strangers, she is determined to keep her word. No matter what.
At first Mary Call is sure she can run the family just fine on her own. Romey and Ima Dean help her gather herbs to sell in town, using the riches of the mountains to keep the family clothed and fed. But winter sets in all too quickly. As food runs low, and the tiny house begins to cave in under the weight of the snow, Mary Call leans that the land where the lilies bloom is also a cruel and unforgiving land that demands a price for her stubborn pride.

March 13 — Moment of Strength: share a story where a female ancestor showed courage or strength in a difficult situation.
Again, my mother is at the top of my list on this one!
My parents were raising their three little girls in the coal camps of West Virginia when Dad was drafted into the Navy. He was the only one in the coal camps to be drafted.
This left my mom and my three older sisters to fend for themselves while Dad was away at Pearl Harbor. Fern, Jean and Betty would have been around the ages of 7, 5 and 2 years old.
They were poor to begin with, and even poorer after Dad left. Mom managed to keep everyone fed, mostly with beans. Occasionally, the local butcher would see Mom coming and put back a nice piece of meat for her, assuring her that it wasn't horsemeat.
During this time, Mom also became very sick. Her father heard about it and came over from Kentucky to help care for her. When it became apparent that she was indeed, very, very sick, he made arrangements to have her taken to Columbus, Ohio and he brought the girls back home to Kentucky. Mom had a very serious goiter that was wrapping itself around her throat, threatening to strangle her. She lost a tremendous amount of weight, and it took a long time to recover.
For the remainder of her life, her neck bore a large scar that went from one side to the other where they had to operate to save her life.

If you experience chest pain or any of the symptoms listed below in combination with chest discomfort, call emergency medical services (9-1-1) immediately. Do not delay. The more of these symptoms you experience together, the more likely it is that you may be having a heart attack. Do not drive yourself to the hospital.

An inaugural show with a Latin flavor
WASHINGTON -- Eva Longoria's transformation from Desperate Housewife to D.C. power player was on full display Sunday night as she juggled host and executive producer duties at the Latino Inaugural Concert at the Kennedy Center.
The star-studded celebration of Latino arts and culture for the In Performance at the Kennedy Center event honored the presidential inauguration and capped off a three-day series of events on Latino civic engagement.
Known for her role as Gabrielle on ABC's Desperate Housewives, Longoria has been a high-profile supporter of President Obama, serving as a co-chair of his re-election campaign and a co-chair of the Presidential Inauguration Committee. She has been credited with drawing Latinos to the campaign and for raising awareness about issues concerning them. She was a speaker at the Democratic National Convention in September.
And her efforts haven't stopped as she continues to lobby for Latino causes. "My New Year's resolution is to say 'no' more (often). So far it's not starting well!" said Longoria, with a laugh.
On the red carpet, she talked about the evening. "Tonight is a big thank you to the Latino community for all the hard work they did all across the country during the election."
The party's host, who wore a peach-colored gown by Vivienne Westwood, was proud of the occasion. "To be here in the Kennedy Center is a big honor for all of us to be able to applaud the contributions these musicians and artists and actors have made."
Longoria is not the only star using her celebrity to get the word out. Award-winning Broadway actress Chita Rivera, who turns 80 Wednesday, talked about Latinos' influence in the election: "Look at me: I have so much to offer. I want this country to know that I am willing to work hard and make this a better world."
As for the president and first lady Michelle Obama, Rivera had praise. "The two of them together are amazing human beings," she said.
Oscar-winning West Side Story actress Rita Moreno, who would join Rivera for a dance number during the show, agreed. "He has enormous dignity," said Moreno, 81, who made reference to the famous clip of the president singing a verse of Let's Stay Together. "Even when he sings an Al Green song."
Addressing reporters in both English and Spanish during arrivals, Moreno said she was looking forward to the concert. "We are honoring Hispanic people ... astonishing talent on the show tonight," she said.
Mario Lopez, co-host of The X Factor, was excited to be a show presenter. He said it was "great to be part of such a memorable and historic event." As for Latinos and politics, he added, "They're going to play a big role."
Still, when he was asked if he would describe himself as political, he responded, "I consider myself patriotic."
Early in the show, Longoria introduced surprise guests Vice President Joe Biden, his wife and their family. "I'm Joe Biden. I'm Jill's husband," joked the vice president. "We're here to celebrate and honor Hispanic Latino celebrities. Every generation has enriched our country, not just in the arts but in every endeavor."
Biden continued, "This is your moment. America owes you.... I'm just here to say thank you. We're about to begin a ride that is long overdue, in terms of respect and recognition." Then he added, "We love you, we need you, we thank you."
Among the other stars in the show: Musician Jose Feliciano who performed the national anthem at the opening, singer Marc Anthony, who introduced Julian Castro, the popular Democratic mayor of San Antonio, and Prince Royce, who performed Stand By Me.
