$7.5 Million Jury Award in Psychosurgery Malpractice Case
Peter R. Breggin M.D. testified in case
On June 10, 2002, a jury unanimously found the Cleveland Clinic negligent in causing permanent, disabling brain damage to a woman by performing experimental psychosurgery on her without informed consent. Psychosurgery is the destruction of normal brain tissue for the purpose of treating psychiatric disorders or for the control of emotions and behavior. It does not include operations, such as those for Parkinson's disease or epilepsy, where an identifiable physical abnormality in the brain is causing a known physical disorder.
The jury awarded $5 million for future medical expenses; $300,000 for past medical expenses; $1.1 million for pain and suffering and inability to perform usual functions; and $1.1 million to the patient's husband for loss of consortium. The total was $7.5 million in damages.
The patient, Mrs. Mary Lou Zimmerman, was 58 at the time of the surgery and suffered from persistent obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. In a single operation she was subjected to four lesions in her brain produced by heated electrodes inserted through her skull into her brain tissue. The lesions, approximately one-half inch in diameter, were placed two each in the anterior cingulum and the internal capsule of the brain. These areas contain large fiber tracts that connect nerve cells (neurons) throughout the brain. Damage and destruction in these pathways leads to neuronal cell death and dysfunction in the specific areas as well as multiple other areas throughout the brain through a process called retrograde degeneration. As a result of the surgery and a subsequent abscess in her brain, the patient developed dementia and became mute and emotionally disabled. The neurosurgeon was Dr. Gene Barnett.
After the suit was brought, the Cleveland Clinic stopped performing this kind of psychosurgery involving the outright destruction of brain tissue. At trial, only two other existing psychosurgery projects were identified in the United States, one at Harvard Medical School and the other at Brown University.
As a consultant and one of the medical experts in the case, psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, M.D. testified that the surgery was unique, idiocyncratic, dangerous, and experimental, and should not have been performed as a routine clinical procedure. He also testified that the patient and her family had not been properly informed about the dangerous and experimental nature of the surgery. He summarized the history of psychosurgery and linked modern surgery to earlier lobotomy operations in terms of its destructive potential. Dr. Breggin described the history of his organized reform efforts to stop the resurgence of psychosurgery in the early 1970s in North America and elsewhere in the world. He testified that his criticism of psychosurgery had stopped most of the projects in the United States and helped to establish the standard that psychosurgery is experimental and unacceptable as a routine clinical procedure. (A history of these efforts can be found in The War Against Children of Color co-authored in 1998 by Peter and Ginger Breggin. Also see Dr. Breggin's many papers and book chapters on the subject in his professional bibliography.)
Two Harvard professors who are noted advocates of psychosurgery testified on behalf of the neurosurgeon and the Cleveland Clinic. Their failure to sway the jury was a serious blow to the aspirations of the few remaining psychosurgeons in the United States.

HTRK/Tropic of Cancer, "Part Time Punks Radio Sessions"
The Part Time Punks Radio Sessions 12" by HTRK and Tropic of Cancer holds six sublime songs of desire.
Comparable to a fly-on-a-wall Peel Sessions, the critically acclaimed Part Time Punks radio show is the sound of the LA underground, run by local icon Michael Stock.
The limited split captures both bands live at the radio headquarters during HTRK's first 2011 tour of the USA, accompanied by comrades in minimalism and melancholia, Tropic of Cancer.
Flipping this vinyl sounds like two sides of the same cursed coin, and mirrors a high school dance playing an endless lustful waltz. BPMs bumped down to a psychic stalk. It's a broken and beautiful memento.

This sub version comes from the super fab Rachel Ray. I forgot to buy ground chicken/turkey so it ended being more of a meatball (used 1lb ground beef and 1/2 lb spicy pork sausage) sub. I'm sure had I done it "correctly" it'd taste delicious but this version was great, too. An accelerated version of my normal (Grandma Barrante's) version of meatballs and sauce.
Chicken Parmesan Subs
(Source: Rachel Ray as seen on 30 Minute Meals)
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
- 1-1/2 pounds ground chicken or ground turkey (as stated above, I forgot to buy this main ingredient! Ended up using 1lb ground beef and 1/2 lb ground spicy pork sausage instead)
- 1 tablespoon grill seasoning blend
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup Italian blend cheese
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- Handful of chopped parsley leaves (1 Tbsp dried parsley)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling plus, plus 3 tablespoons for pan
- 2 large cloves garlic, cracked from skin and split (used minced garlic)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken stock
- Salt & Pepper
- 8 to 10 leaves fresh basil, torn or shredded or 1 Tbsp dried basil
- 4 (6 to 8-inch) crusty sub rolls
- 1-1/2 cups shredded provolone
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place chicken in a bowl and season with grill seasoning. Add egg, half of the grated cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, and a serious drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to the bowl. Mix the meat and form 12 large meatballs. Squish the balls to flatten them a bit like mini oval meatloaves. Be careful not to form the balls wider than your bread. The flattened balls will stay put on your sub, no roll-aways! Bake the meatballs 15 minutes until golden and firm. Switch the broiler on.
- While the meatballs bake, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and garlic and cook 5 minutes then remove the cloves. Add crushed red pepper flakes then tomatoes and stir in the chicken stock. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and simmer 10 minutes, adjust seasonings and stir in the basil. Reserve a extra sauce for dipping on dinner table.
- Remove the meat from oven and loosen with a thin spatula. Turn meat balls in sauce.
- Cut sub rolls making the bottom a little deeper than the top. Hollow out a little bread and lightly toast the sub rolls under broiler. Fill the bottoms of the breads with flattened balls and sauce. Combine the provolone and remaining Parmigiano. Cover the subs with cheese and return to broiler to melt the cheese until golden.

Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "Battling an administration that smugly created their own reality, even if (and sometimes, especially if) it flew in the face of reason, morality and/or common sense, [in Twilight of the Assholes] Kreider employed a vicious, scorched-earth set of tactics that matched the passionate intensity of the right, only imbued with a wicked and outrageous sense of humor to go with a keen sense of observation. Whether or not one agreed with all of Kreider's observations about American culture…, the sheer relentlessness of Kreider's attacks combined with the elegance and intensity of his line carried a certain punishing quality." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal
• Review: "…[L]et us celebrate a title of subtle and peculiar power from a creator of signal grace and range. Uptight #4 continues Crane's dual and quite distinct serials: the urban romance between Leo and Dee — which, despite its superficial placidity, includes in the present chapter two scenes of disquieting violence — and the far more whimsical (if decidedly Roald Dahlicious) misadventures of the waifs Simon and Rosalyn and Simon's lariat-tailed cat, Jack. …[T]he sublimity of Crane's Uptight makes one gloomily deplore that so many of the main indies appear to be abandoning comic books as such." – Bryan A. Hollerbach, PLAYBACK:stl
• Review: "What is incredible about this journal is the diversity of the works represented. It appears that Mome does not favor any particular aesthetic. Rather they celebrate the multiplicity of aesthetic possibilities. As someone just barely scratching the surface of the graphic story form, I found this a terrific way to learn about the variety of comics and stylistic choices. […] There is so much to see and so much to learn in Mome. The artists are of an exceptionally high caliber and for those who are interested in teaching comics as literature, or simply learning more about comics in general, this journal would be a wonderful beginning." – Becky Tuch, The Review Review
• Review: "…[A]t the center of What I Did is 'Sshhhh!' – a rather lengthy tale of the entire life of a (bird-)man, told in pictures, without the use of any words other than the section numberings. It's an ambitious piece by Jason… 'Hey, Wait' is a touching tale about childhood tragedy that sticks with someone for his entire life. 'The Iron Wagon' is the only tale of the three where the original isn't currently available, because it's out of print. The book replicates the beautiful red tone of the original, and it's a fantastic mystery, expertly told by Jason…" – Bill Jones, Pads & Panels
• Review: "[Interiorae] is less concerned about the petty secrets and lies of people and more interested in the idea of inbetween spaces. There's the space between sleep and consciousness, the line between life and death, the space between commitment and detachment, the line between love and hate." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal
• Profile: "Mascots is a collection of one to three panel comics that are really small paintings. Fenwick calls it a 'short story collection.' Though conceptually loose, the book developed from some paintings Fenwick had done, using found book covers as backgrounds and painting over top. He didn't approach the work as a narrative, but more as a series of vignettes with recurring themes and moods. […] 'It's got a foot in the world of comics — in that it's text and image – but it's mostly language and not a ton of drawings. It's kind of a loose definition of comics,' Fenwick says." – Laura Kenins, New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal

Over 50 years ago, Kikkoman introduced the taste of teriyaki in a bottle. Today, we offer three distinctive teriyaki sauce types that make it easy to add this taste to your favorite meats, poultry, seafood or vegetables. The sweet-savory flavor of teriyaki and its rich mahogany glaze have been universally popular almost since it was first prepared in Japan centuries ago. . . a simple mixture of umami-filled soy sauce and mirin, a Japanese sweet cooking wine. The lustrous sheen of the sauce, after it's cooked, inspired the name "teriyaki", or glaze-broiled. Over many generations, the Japanese-Americans in Hawaii added fresh ginger, brown sugar, pineapple juice and green onions to the original flavor, and it gradually became the teriyaki sauce we've come to enjoy.

Item #: SCP-1454
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Each member of SCP-1454 is to be housed separately in a standard cell of the type used to contain Safe-class humanoid SCP entities. Standard rules and regulations pertaining to contained humanoids are to be applied. During good behavior, SCP-1454 may be allowed to perform menial tasks not related to SCP containment in exchange for access to approved entertainment and reading material.
SCP-1454 individuals are not to be brought into contact with each other, directly or indirectly, except for testing purposes. All members of SCP-1454 are to be kept on standby observation at any time another member is undergoing testing, surgery, or is at a significant risk of life-threatening danger. Use of amnestics on any SCP-1454 specimen is to be avoided except as a last resort.
Description: SCP-1454 consists of four human males, designated SCP-1454-1 through SCP-1454-4, each 36 years old at the time they entered Foundation custody in 20██. All four are in good health and display no unusual physical impairments for human beings of their age. DNA testing has indicated that the individuals comprising SCP-1454 are genetically identical to a degree similar to identical twins.
The members of SCP-1454 possess a shared memory - each SCP-1454 specimen has full access to the memories of every other member, and is constantly aware of what the other three individuals are doing and experiencing at any given moment. The means of data transmission between the individuals is unknown. Attempts to block shared memory by imposing physical distance, solid barriers, electrical fields, hallucinogenic drugs, or [REDACTED] have all proven unsuccessful. Use of amnestics upon one member of SCP-1454 similarly affects the other three with regards to the memories deleted. All four members of SCP-1454 act independently of each other. In spite of the shared memories possessed by the four, no evidence of a "hive mind" or "group consciousness" has been observed. Individuals have demonstrated no ability to consciously induce another to act.
All four members of SCP-1454 have been diagnosed with a unique psychological illness related to their shared mental state. Each individual member of SCP-1454 is unaware that there are three other humans identical to him and possessing the same shared memory, and is of the belief that he himself has personally experienced all the memories that his mind has access to. All SCP-1454 individuals are of the belief that this state is typical of human beings, and in interviews have neither found it unusual nor made any attempt to explain or rationalize having several simultaneous and contradictory sets of memories. When two or more SCP-1454 individuals are brought into each other's presence, each will fail to recognize the other as a duplicate of himself, and will become extremely confused and agitated as a result, often leading to physical violence.
SCP-1454 was discovered by the Foundation in 20██, when all four individuals comprising it simultaneously threatened to commit suicide by jumping from the windows of four separate tall buildings in downtown ███████, ██. Examination of government records found that the individuals, who all identified themselves by the name "Eric ███████", had all lived and worked in the ███████ area. All four possessed identical drivers' licenses and Social Security cards, and had filed tax returns each year claiming income from five sources. One birth certificate, five houses, seven automobiles, six college degrees, and seven marriage licenses were found to be associated with the name. A death certificate was also found to be associated with the name, belonging to an individual who had been killed in a drunk driving accident two days prior.

Definitely going to be reading the car salesman article. I'm looking to get a new car so this would help big-time.
I'm not in the market for a car right now, but it's never a bad idea to sharpen your game! Thanks for the links!
Thanks for the money tips. I think the car salesmen tricks in the article are only relevant if you failed to do any research before you showed up on the lot.
A tip I would add is to get pre approved for an auto loan before you start shopping and the rest will fall into place. Negotiation is simple when you have a strict budget and are able to walk away from a bad deal.

The latest mortgage fraud scam known as "flopping" has sellers who actually make their home look undesirable so that they can attract low offers from buyers.
Here's how it works: The seller is underwater on their mortgage and wants to get the lender to agree to a short sale. The seller, working with an accomplice, seeks to get a super low price to sell their home in the short sale by making bogus damage claims. Once they get the bank to agree to a short sale, the home is sold to an accomplice who then quickly cleans up the home and resells it for a profit.
"Floppers," as they're known, average a $55,000 profit from the quick flips.
To get the low home price, some sellers will go to great lengths to make their homes look undesirable, even spreading possum urine around the house or turning up the heat and closing all the windows for several days, says Ann Fulmer, a mortgage fraud specialist with Interthinx. Floppers also have bene known to remove appliances and cupboard doors and even paint the ceilings so it looks like there's been water damage in he home. When no sellers want the home due to the flaws, the sellers will point out to the bank the problems with the home and why the sales price needs to be lowered. Some scammers have even claimed their homes were contaminated as crystal meth labs in order to get a lower price.
Freddie Mac is cracking down on floppers, investigating suspicious cases, and has opened up a toll free number for others to report suspicious activity: 1-800-4fraud8.

Brain circuitry can trick your body into losing weight, says a study.Scientists from Sydney and New South Wales Universities, identified the brain circuitry that can trick the body into losing weight.Shu Lin, Yanchuan Shi and Herbert Herzog, professor and his team have been studying the complex processes behind energy balance using various mouse models, the journal Cell Metabolism reports.They have shown that the neurotransmitter Neuropeptide Y (NPY), known for stimulating appetite, also plays a major role in controlling whether the body burns or conserves energy, according to a Sydney statement.The researchers found that NPY produced in a particular region of the brain - the arcuate nucleus (Arc) of the hypothalamus - inhibits the activation of 'brown fat'1, one of the primary tissues where the body generates heat."When you don't eat, or dramatically curtail your calorie intake, levels of NPY rise sharply."High levels of NPY signal to the body that it is in 'starvation mode' and should try to replenish and conserve as much energy as possible."As a result, the body reduces processes that are not absolutely necessary for survival," said Herzog."Evolution has provided us with these mechanisms to help us survive famine, and they are strictly controlled."When people had to survive by finding food or hunting game, they could not afford to run out of energy and die of exhaustion, so their bodies evolved to cope," concluded Herzog.

CHICAGO – Come join us for our smoker on Sunday, April 6, 2014, 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm at Blue Havana. Kick back with a cigar or two and cigar camaraderie with other kinky cigar lovers. As always, we're taking over the shop after hours, so it's just us.
We're BYOB, so feel free bring your favorite whisky or other spirit and share the love with your friends; who knows, you might just find a new favorite for your bar, too. Or bring some chocolate… but mostly bring yourself.
Patronize Our Host Shop
Like a munch, Cigar Chicago smokers are free to attend, but show the shop we appreciate them letting us use their space and patronize them: they have a fantastic humidor, so buy a cigar. Or two. Or accessories. Or something. (To make it easier, Blue Havana is now extending Cigar Chicago 10% off things purchased during the smoker.)
Who is Welcome
All genders, ages, experience levels, races, shoe sizes, sexual orientations and preferences, partnership status, poly, D/s, M/s, height, eye color, religions, pet preferences, fitness levels, tax brackets, and pizza topping choices are welcome (even all veggie pizza, if that's your thing; your pizza is not my pizza, and that's OK).
Bottom line: if you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it is for you. While couples and groupings are always encouraged to come together (hey, isn't that always nice?), it's not a requirement to have a partner to come.
Questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to seeing you there.
Note that since Chicago requires anyone entering a tobacco shop to be 18 or up, and drinking requires you to be 21 or up, please plan on showing a state-issued ID if asked to do so.


text: Hello there ! I was so proud with my own DNS working well for 2 days but recently when i restarted the computer, the bind9 didn't restart ! When i make Code: /etc/init.d/bind9 restart it shows this : Code: * Stopping domain name service... rndc: connect failed: connection refused ...done. * Starting domain name service... ...done. One clue is that i changed the certificates like in this Falko's explanations : http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2700&page=2&highlight=openssl Does it deals with that or any authorisations settings ? One more thing : i had a dyndns name (burtnet.dyndns.org) that i abandon in those last days and when i connect the ispconfig interface : it doesn't load pages well and still make reference of this dyndns url in spite of having my new domain inside my /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php : Code: $go_info["server"]["server_url"] = "https://petiteboitesansfond.net:81/"; thanks guys !

Image: A sign designating a women's restroom. Public domain.
I was once followed into a bathroom by a man, back in the 1990's.
It was a ladies' room in a shopping mall, a small room tucked away between the parking structure and the shops. I heard the door open behind me and I glanced back. A man was coming in, looking straight at me, and the look on his face made my blood curdle. I ran right at him and ducked beneath his arm on my way out of the door. I began screeching, hoping that someone, anyone would hear.
I screamed all the way into the mall. He did not follow. I heard him laugh.
I had forgotten all about it until the recent spate of laws aimed at keeping transgender folks out of bathrooms. Like many women, I have a list of scary memories I try to avoid. If I dwelled on them I would never leave the house again.
I tell this story to point out the great flaw in the bathroom worries: men who are up to no good don't need to say they are transgender to go into the ladies' room. They just walk in. They always have.
As for the discomfort issue (I suspect, the real issue) there are many women with whom I'm uncomfortable in the bathroom. The ones who pee all over the seat and leave it that way; the ones who hog the sink while they get their makeup just so; the ones who sit in the single handicap stall and play games on their phone while I sit on my scooter outside, hoping I won't have "an accident." Oh, yes, and there are the ones who wear perfume as if it were a chemical weapon!
I don't like them. I don't want to share with them. But I do because they need a place to pee, too.
Trans women are no danger to me. In the men's room they are in deadly danger.
There are no cases, ever, anywhere, of a man posing as a woman to get access to women in the toilet. That's because they don't need to do that: if they are up to no good, they waltz right in.

Car Art, Black Rock City
Tuesday, 7th March 2006 by Alex Turnbull
Near the site of the previously posted Black Rock City (Burning Man), someone has taken the time to write Jackie's name with the tracks of their car – and there's also a heart there for her too. Awww, isn't it sick-making?
Mind you, at least it's imaginative – unlike whoever just drew some random squiggles.
Thanks to Hapto and William.

Characteres - Scar
Scar is the younger brother of King Mufasa. After Simba was born
he lost his postition as heir to the throne. Because of this, Scar had
created an alliance with the Hyenas to kill Simba and Mufasa,
so that he would gain control of the Pride Lands. In the Stampede
Scene Scar had succeeded in killing Mufasa, but failed to kill Simba.
Anyhow he told the other Lions, that Simbas death was an accident.
As you can see, Scar's character is based on greed, injustice, and deception. He is shameless and is always ready to lie for his advantage. He can make a good speech and convince others quite well, but does it only for bad intentions.

'Gilt'-y Secrets to Starting Up
Gilt Groupe is a success story in the startup world, with its exclusive flash sales on fashion, goods and services for the style set. However just a few years ago, founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson says she was anxiously awaiting the time to release her inner entrepreneur.
Today, an accomplished show runner at Gilt, Wilkis Wilson was on hand at LearnVest's first-ever LearnVest Live event on personal finances, career management and entrepreneurship in New York City this week, giving tips for wannabe business-owners on how to take the first step.
Wilkis Wilson recently co-authored a book with her Gilt co-founder, Alexis Maybank, called By Invitation Only: How We Built Gilt and Changed the Way Millions Shop. She sat down with FOXBusiness.com to talk entrepreneurship and creating a work culture that breeds success:
Choose your team wisely. Wilkis Wilson said the initial team she started the company with is the reason it has been so successful, so quickly. Starting a business with your friend, in her case, a best friend-- Maybank-- is often risky, but the duo considered how the business would impact their friendship carefully before diving in.
"I feel very grateful to have been part of a five-person founding team that worked well," she said. "We complimented each other in terms of skill sets and in terms of the big picture."
She and Alexis promised to put their friendship first, as well, Wilkis Wilson said.
"We talked about how we would argue, treat each other in the office," she said. "And we always valued our friendship first."
Have a personal board of directors. Having a board of directors to bounce business ideas off of will help to take your company in the right direction, but using this tactic in your personal life is also important when embarking on new ventures.
Wilkis WIlson said she relied on hers heavily when starting out, and as the company has scaled quickly, that board of directors in her personal life made of friends and family has also grown and changed.
"I still look to those people today," she said.
Test, test, test. Be sure you are testing things before diving in, especially in a new business. Also, record and use the results, Wilkis Wilson said.
Investing that time and money can help to save you a lot more time, and cash, in the long run if it turns out your 'big idea' is a flop.
Encourage risk taking. Wilkis Wilson sid the company doesn't shy away from trying new things, as seen in launching Gilt City, a Groupon-esque local deal branch of the company.
"Set up a culture that doesn't punish for mistakes," she said. "Encourage them."

Vladimir Horowitz, (born Oct. 1 [Sept. 18, Old Style], 1903, Berdichev, Russia [now in Ukraine]—died Nov. 5, 1989, New York, N.Y., U.S.), Russian-born American virtuoso pianist in the Romantic tradition. He was celebrated for his flawless technique and an almost orchestral quality of tone. Horowitz's performances of works by Franz Liszt, Sergey Rachmaninoff, Frédéric Chopin, Aleksandr Scriabin, Domenico Scarlatti, and Sergey Prokofiev were admired for their technical precision and dynamic range. His interpretations of keyboard miniatures, such as Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen (Scenes of Childhood), were noted for their delicacy.
Horowitz entered the Kiev conservatory at age 12. While a student, he preferred composing to giving concerts, and only after his family had been left destitute by World War I and the Russian Revolution did he make his concert debut (1922, Kharkov). His reputation was assured in the Soviet Union when, at age 20, he played a series of 23 recitals in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) with no duplications, performing a total of more than 200 works. Spectacular successes followed in European and American tours. In 1933 he married Arturo Toscanini's daughter, Wanda. He settled in the United States in 1940, becoming a citizen in 1944. From 1953 to 1965 he withdrew completely from the concert stage, although he continued to make recordings. His return to the American concert stage after 12 years' absence and again briefly in 1974 and 1981 were musical events of great moment. Then, in 1982, after 31 years' absence he capped his career by touring Europe once again. In 1986 he returned to the Soviet Union to perform two concerts. His final tour was a series of recitals in Europe in 1987. He was buried in the Toscanini family plot in Milan, Italy.

Q: Please help. Endless frustration – unable to find where "knick," the English slang term for prison, originated. Thanks so much.
A: Oops, it's "nick," not "knick." That's why you're having so much trouble.
The Oxford English Dictionary says the use of the noun "nick" in the sense of a prison, especially one at a police station, is of Australian origin. The first published reference is from The Sydney Slang Dictionary (1882), which defines "the nick" as a "gaol."
But that's just the beginning of the story. The verb "nick" has been used since the 16th century in the sense of to trick, cheat, or defraud. The first reference in the OED is from a 1576 work by the English dramatist George Whetstone: "I neuer nickt the poorest of his pay, / But if hee lackt, hee had before his day."
And the verb has been used since the 17th century to mean to catch unawares or apprehend. The earliest citation for this usage is from The Prophetess, a play from around 1640 by John Fletcher and Philip Massinger: "We must be sometimes wittie, to nick a knave."
Since the early 19th century, the verb "nick" has also meant to steal or pilfer. Here's an example from an 1826 collection of English and Scottish poems: "Some there ha'e gotten their pouches picket, / Their siller an' their watches nickit."
Last but not least, "Old Nick" (later "Nick") has been a name for the Devil since the mid-17th century. The OED says there's no convincing explanation of how "Nick" came to be associated with deviltry.
One theory, according to the dictionary, is that the name "Nick" comes from Machiavelli's first name, Niccolò. Another theory is that "Nick" is a shortened form of "iniquity."
Whatever the origin of this usage, it's not surprising that a word with such shady connections should come to mean a place where shady characters are held by the police.
