Kenneth "Kenny" Anderson (born October 9, 1970) is an American retired basketball player. After a college career at Georgia Institute of Technology, he played point guard professionally from 1991 to 2006, mostly in the National Basketball Association.
Early life
Anderson was born in Queens, New York City. As a 16-year-old high school sophomore, the LeFrak City, Queens[1] native who attended academic and athletic powerhouse Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens, was considered one of the best basketball prospects in America.[2] Collegiate recruiters began scouting Anderson in sixth grade and he was on the front page of the New York City sports section when he was 14.[3]
By the end of his high school career, he was a four-time Parade All-American, a feat not accomplished since Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), and the first player to be named All-City four times. He was a McDonald's All-American, was named New York State Mr. Basketball by the New York State Coaches Organization, and named High School Basketball Player of the Year by Gatorade, the New York State Sportswriters Association, Parade, Naismith, and USA Today[4] Despite his coach, Jack Curran, benching him for the first quarter of all of his games during his freshman year at Molloy, Anderson set the all-time state record for scoring in New York, with 2,621 points. This record stood until 2004, when Lincoln High School guard Sebastian Telfair eclipsed the mark late in his senior season. He was considered the No. 1 player in the country, over such notables as Jimmy Jackson and Shaquille O'Neal.
Georgia Tech
After a long recruiting process, Anderson signed a letter of intent in November 1988 to play at Georgia Tech, selecting the Yellow Jackets over North Carolina, Duke and Syracuse.[5]
Anderson played two years for Georgia Tech as the team's starting point guard, helping lead the team to the Final Four in 1990, along with swingmen Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver. The trio was nicknamed "Lethal Weapon 3".[6] Anderson played a controversial shot at the end of regulation, when it appeared the ball was still in Anderson's hand when the horn sounded, this was during Round 16 forced overtime against favored Michigan State. Georgia Tech's tournament run ended against eventual champions UNLV in the Final Four.
With Scott and Oliver gone after that season, Anderson averaged nearly 26 points a game. Georgia Tech secured a No. 8 seed for the NCAA Tournament, where they lost in the second round to Ohio State. Soon after, Anderson announced that he would forgo his last two years of eligibility to enter the NBA Draft.
He played for the US national team in the 1990 FIBA World Championship, where they won the bronze medal.[7]
Anderson was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the second pick in the 1991 NBA draft. He was the youngest player in the league at that time. He averaged seven points, two rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game. In Anderson's second season he nearly doubled his point, rebound, and assist averages. In his third season, he averaged 18.8 ppg and 9.6 apg. Anderson and teammate Derrick Coleman represented the East squad in the 1994 NBA All-Star Game. He was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in 1996.
Anderson has played for the Nets, Hornets (including both Charlotte and New Orleans franchises), Portland Trail Blazers, Boston Celtics, Seattle SuperSonics and the Indiana Pacers, and split a season for the Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers.
In 1998, Portland traded Anderson to the Toronto Raptors for Damon Stoudamire, but he refused to report to the team because he did not want to play in Canada. The Raptors traded him to the Celtics for Chauncey Billups.
Anderson was released from Lithuania's Žalgiris Kaunas after the 2005–06 season.
Personal life
Anderson was raised by his mother, Joan, and did not meet his father until he was in his thirties.[8] He has two sisters, Sandra and Danielle.[9] He was poor growing up, but Anderson says that being able to provide for his mother was inspiration for him to become a professional basketball player.[8] In October 2005, his mother died from a heart attack.[8]
Anderson is the father of eight children, by five women. He became a father of a daughter while attending Georgia Tech.[8] He had a relationship with Dee Dee Roper (DJ Spinderella of the rap group Salt-n-Pepa), and they have a daughter together.[10] He was married to Tami Roman (who has appeared on the reality series Basketball Wives),[11] but they divorced. They have two daughters.[10] Anderson met his second wife Tamiyka R Lockhart in West Los Angeles in 1998 while they both were going through divorces. They have a son together, Kenneth Anderson Jr. They divorced in 2004. He met his third wife, Natasha, during the 2004 NBA playoffs. They married in 2007.[8] Anderson and Natasha are raising his son Kenny Jr. and her daughter.[8]
In 2005, despite earning $63 million during his NBA career, Anderson filed for bankruptcy.[12]
In 2013, Anderson reported that he was sexually abused as a child by both a person who lived in his neighborhood and a basketball coach.[13]
After the NBA
In 2007, Anderson was named as the coach of the Continental Basketball Association's Atlanta Krunk.[14] The team was owned by Freedom Williams of C+C Music Factory.
In 2008, Anderson made a TV appearance on Pros vs Joes.
In September 2008, he was inducted into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame.[15]
In 2008, he became the head coach of slamball team Hombres, and helped them to a semi-finals berth.
Anderson graduated in 2010 from St. Thomas University in Miami, with a degree in organizational leadership.[16][17]
In August 2011, Anderson took the position of basketball coach at the David Posnack Jewish Day School in Davie, Florida.[18] In May 2013, following a DUI arrest, the school indicated that they would not renew his contract.[19]
In 2014, Anderson was named to a team assembled by Dennis Rodman as part of his "basketball diplomacy" effort in North Korea with the job of playing an exhibition match against the North Korean Senior National Team to celebrate the birthday of Kim Jong-Un.[20]
In 2015, Anderson appeared in Dwayne Johnson's reality TV show Wake Up Call.

Tanning Oasis
I worked at Tanning oasis as an assistant for one full year before the company went bankrupt and was forced to close. I loved my job and I took it very seriously. I attended the desk at all times, kept track of the money, answered phone calls, made appointments, and maintaned a clean atmosphere around the work place. Before, during, and after my Tanning Oasis job, I babysat as regularly as possible. This ensures people that I am a very trustworthy person, not only with the office matters but I am also very attendant to children and their needs.

Reject & Protect: Farmers, Ranchers, and Tribes Protest Keystone XL with Week-Long DC Encampment
WASHINGTON - This April 22-27, the Cowboy and Indian Alliance (CIA), a group of ranchers, farmers and indigenous leaders, will host an encampment on the National Mall for a week's worth of "Reject and Protect" actions against the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
The encampment will feature 15 tipis and a covered wagon, and begins on Tuesday with a 40-person ceremonial horseback ride from the Capitol down the National Mall. Ranchers from Nebraska, tribal leaders from Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas, actor Daryl Hannah, the Indigo Girls, environmental and social justice leaders, and others will take part at the encampment over the week.
Over 5,000 people are expected to join the Cowboy Indian Alliance for a ceremonial walk by the Capitol on Saturday, April 26. The CIA will finish the procession by delivering a tipi, painted by the week's participants, to the Museum of the American Indian in honor of President Obama. The tipi is a symbol of respect, as well as a symbol of the tipis and other encampments they will erect along the pipeline route if the Keystone XL is approved.
As the National Interest Determination process comes to a close and pipeline opponents look to the president to reject the tar sands pipeline, the "Reject and Protect" events serve to remind President Obama that his decision will have real consequences for those families in the tar sands region of Canada, along the pipeline route and in refinery communities—in addition to long-lasting climate impacts for generations to come.
Reject and Protect is led by the "Cowboy Indian Alliance," a group of ranchers, farmers, and tribal communities from along the Keystone XL pipeline route to urge President Obama to reject Keystone XL and protect land, water, climate and tribal rights.

Statements in support of Reject and Protect:
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, spiritual leader among the Dakota, Lakota, Nakota people:
"Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of mankind. Do you think that the creator would create unnecessary people in a time of danger? Know that you are essential to this world. The biggest cancer spreading upon Mother Earth is the tar sands."
Tom Genung, Nebraska Landowner:
"As a land owner and a pipeline fighter, it is an honor and privilege to stand together with tribal brothers and sisters. It is our duty to protect the sacred for the seven generations to come. We stand together as one people working together to help President Obama take measures for clean environmental decisions which includes denial of TransCanada's permit which has no legal route in our great state of Nebraska."
Chief Reuben George, Tsleil-Waututh:
"One thing I can say right off the bat is that we are winning. When we come together like this, we become stronger. There is no price for our water and lands. The lessons we receive from Mother Earth is to become better human beings. We give back to the earth and the land. The pipelines do not do that. We are going to win!"
Hilton Kelley, Founder and Director of Community In-Power and Development Association:
"The people living on the Gulf of Mexico in the City of Port Arthur, TX and Houston, TX are disproportionately impacted by refinery and chemical plant emissions. A large number of our residents at this present time are suffering from respiratory issues, cancer and liver and kidney disease, If the tarsands material is piped into our community for refining at the neighboring plants, there will be a serious increase in the emission levels into the very air we breathe. Our state government has not been much help in supporting our efforts to reduce the toxins in our air; we most certainly hope that we can depend on our federal Government to protect those in the low income and people of color communities as well as all others."
Bill McKibben, 350.org Founder:
"It was native people and Nebraska ranchers that really started this battle, and so it's so fitting that they're the ones leading this last appeal to the president to do the right thing. We've gone wrong in this country before when we didn't listen to its original inhabitants; let's hope Keystone becomes the opportunity to show we're wising up."
Faith Spotted Eagle, Yankton Sioux:
"We are writing a new history by standing on common ground by preventing the black snake of Keystone XL from risking our land and water. We have thousands of Native sacred sites that will be affected adversely. The Americans facing eminent domain now know what it felt like for us to lose land to a foreign country. There is no fairness or rationale to justify the risk of polluting our waterways with benzene and other carcinogens. Native people are ready to speak for the four-leggeds and the grandchildren who cannot speak for themselves. The answer is no pipeline."
Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director:
"The April 26 'Reject and Protect' march will focus on the communities on the front line of the Keystone XL tar sands fight. Dirty tar sands threaten our climate, and they threaten the health and well-being of the people who live along the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline route. For these families, nothing short of their water, land, and their children's safety is at stake. The Sierra Club is proud to stand with these communities and call on President Obama to reject dirty and dangerous tar sands once and for all."
Roger Milk, Rosebud Sioux:
"This just isn't an Indian thing. We all drink the same water."
Jane Kleeb, Bold Nebraska Executive Director:
"Tribal and ranching communities protect our neighbors first and foremost. That is at our core. We will bring our pipeline fighting spirit to Washington, DC in order for President Obama to see our faces so he knows he is not making a decision about a line on a map, he is making a decision about our families and our neighbors. The President said he wants to be able to look at his daughters and say 'yes he did' do everything he could to combat climate change. We intend to ensure he honors his word."
Gary Dorr, Nez Perce, Shielding the People Media Coordinator:
"We will Stand the Line."
Maura Cowley, Energy Action Coalition Executive Director:
"Indigenous communities and ranchers are fighting to stop Keystone XL as a matter of survival, and it's time that we and President Obama stand with them to stop this dirty and destructive project from ruining their land and water. For too long indigenous communities have encouraged us to look out for future generations and our country has ignored them. This must end with the Keystone decision, nothing short of our future is at stake."
Becky Bond, CREDO Political Director:
"People literally living on the frontlines of our fight against Keystone XL will be taking their case directly to the president in April. We stand in solidarity with the ranchers and tribes whose lands and waters face imminent danger from the imposition of a dirty pipeline by a foreign oil company. And CREDO joins over 86,000 people who are willing to risk arrest if necessary to back up that solidarity with action."

350 is the red line for human beings, the most important number on the planet. The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth. But solutions exist. All around the world, a movement is building to take on the climate crisis, to get humanity out of the danger zone and below 350. This movement is massive, it is diverse, and it is visionary. We are activists, scholars, and scientists. We are leaders in our businesses, our churches, our governments, and our schools. We are clean energy advocates, forward-thinking politicians, and fearless revolutionaries. And we are united around the world, driven to make our planet livable for all who come after us.

Tomorrow is not only Black Friday; it's also the release of one of the most magnificent new films of the year. The film, Life of Pi, is based on Yann Martel's best-selling novel, and will cross all boundaries, racial divides, political lines, and personal orientations. The 3D masterpiece is a must-watch, as it is infused with humanity's polarizing relationship with nature and animals. The social commentary is also a welcome reprieve from the usual holiday season fare, and will make you think twice about dismissing an animal as "just another creature."
This graceful film, directed by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), deals with an epic adventure of self-discovery, friendship, and man's reconnection with nature. According to IMDB, ""[The film,] based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zoo keeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival."
The obvious tear-jerker stars the significant newcomer Suraj Sharma, who went from being a regular teenager who grew up in New Delhi to starring in what has been described as "the new Avatar". The film was almost never made, but the director Ang Lee took it upon himself to have his vision portrayed on the silver screen. Life of Pi had to take a winding 10-year journey to reach its destination, and the world will be different because of it.
Famed film critic, Roger Ebert, gave the film four out of five stars and called it "a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery." Another critic, Peter Travers at Rolling Stone Magazine, said of the film, "Like Hugo, from Martin Scorsese, Life of Pi puts 3D in the hands of a worldclass film artist. [Ang] Lee uses 3D with the delicacy and lyricism of a poet. You don't just watch this movie, you live it." The film has also been touted as the frontrunner in the race to the annual Academy Awards, and also received a smattering of awards, praise, and hype.
Don't be a fader, so grab a group of your best friends, stroke your cat, kiss your dog, and head to the cinema. You're going to be in the mall anyway for Black Friday, so why not take a break and enjoy the greatest cinematic release of the year.

TMNT Comic #8 from Titan, now summarized and reviewed
Filled in the summary and review for TMNT Comic #8 from Titan.
Some nice pencils from Andres Ponce aside, this comic was absolutely awful. I know the UK doesn't have a history of publishing very good TMNT comics, but this was a tremendous low even by their standards.

EMEAC Volunteer Appreciation Night coming up September 30
September 21, 2011
|EMEAC volunteers like Ms.
Forshatta Scott will be
recognized on Sep. 30
"We are appreciating the volunteers and supporters of EMEAC," said EMEAC Community Partners Coordinator Kim Sherobbi. "We want to recognize all their efforts to help us become the community hub that we want to become. We want to honor them in terms of the support they've been giving us."
In addition to special awards of recognition for the volunteer work done with the various EMEAC programs over the past year, the event will also feature fun activities such as performances, entertainment and refreshments.
"We will have some entertainment, music and possibly poetry," Sherobbi said. "We will have food and drinks. We will also have some giveaways. I'm not sure if it's going to be by raffle or by individual gifts yet. We'll also have some acknowledgements of their work."
All in all, the event will also provide an opportunity for EMEAC staff, partners, community members and volunteers to socialize and deepen their relations around the work of community building among people supporting the common cause of improving the overall environment in the city. It will also be an opportunity for EMEAC partners to familiarize themselves with EMEAC's new location and mission of building the Cass Corridor Commons facilities at First UU.
"We want to introduce them to our new space and then enjoy each other's space with some camaraderie and by getting to know each other not just as EMEAC staff and volunteers but person to person," Sherobbi said. "That is going to be a day not only to honor them but also for them to get more familiar with what we do as an organization.
"That way they may be able to develop ways to volunteer further and help us in a capacity that they might not have before to help us serve the community better. Hopefully, we can provide an environment for them to contribute in ways that are just as good as what they had before if not even better."

Lost Toys Review
Barking Mouse Studio, Inc., took a risk when creating the 3D puzzler Lost Toys. "We believe that you can make a fun game at a decent price, one that respects gamers enough to employ subtlety and inventiveness over glitz and glamour," they seem to have said. Bold move, Barking Mouse, especially in a day and age when even the high and mightiest of gaming companies are moving towards the ADD-inspired, free-to-play model.
Lost Toys begins with no story prompt, no cutscenes, and no official tutorial. Once the game starts, you're playing; all gameplay elements and backstory have to be gleaned through your own experiences. In Lost Toys you'll be reconfiguring old, forgotten toys into their proper shapes by swiveling around various wrong-facing pieces until everything's where it's supposed to be. What starts off looking like a pile of junk might turn out to be a fire truck, helicopter, or a friendly, surprisingly un-creepy, clown. You'll do this within a somewhat dour, naturally-lit room, one that looks like it's been abandoned for decades. Between the melancholy art direction and the stirring, but often mournful, piano soundtrack, there's a definite air of sadness to Lost Toys, one that you're tasked with remedying by getting those toys back into their correct configurations.
The motion controls are finicky, but manageable, when trying to swivel and swap toy pieces. Sometimes you'll rotate the toy when you meant to move a single piece, other times the game will obstinately stare back at you, unyielding to your attempts to control it. Despite the controls being fairly intuitive, they're not always that responsive. However, there's no sort of time limit pressuring you to move quickly, so even when the controls don't do what you want them to do, it's not a big deal. On any given puzzle the only real limit is the number of moves you can take to complete it.
Lost Toys gives players an incredibly straightforward chain of progression through its many levels — complete one puzzle and you can move on to the next, more complex, task. That's it. If you're having trouble getting past a particularly fiendish bric-a-brac, there's a multi-tiered undo feature that lets you cancel some of your moves. The help system also shows you how to complete a puzzle one step at a time. If you need to, you can use it to solve a puzzle completely, or you can just dip your toe in it to get moving in the right direction. It's minimal and ingenious, just like the rest of Lost Toys.
The iOS platform may be crowded with puzzle games, but most of them lean towards the more arcade-style antics of Angry Birds or Cut the Rope, which rely a bit more on luck and fast moves than they do cleverness. Lost Toys, on the other hand, is a thoughtful, melancholy, slow-paced bit of brilliance that won't bombard you with ads for other games or hidden costs. If you're on the go and looking to flex those mental muscles, and don't mind a game that's not all that flashy, look no further than this wonderful puzzler.

Whenever it comes to art, everyone has a different picture of it. This happens because of the high level of subjective opinions which are prevalent in this particular domain. One such genre of art which has been in debate since its inception is abstract art. If you are wondering what this art form is all about then this blog will help in providing you with an ideal picture of this specific category.
What exactly is abstract art?
There are so many rumours and different definitions which are going around the topic of abstract art paintings. However, there is no clear and concise definition of this form of art. In the most basic terms, abstract art has no relation with the realities. In the earlier times artists used to create works which were a representation of the authentic world. But the introduction of abstract art changed the meaning of this forever.
Before the 20th century art was always based out of articles which were a part of the real world and stood relatable to something noticeable. In those times it was much easier to comprehend and decipher the true meanings or intents of an art piece. But, the 20th century brought in a lot of changes with itself. Apart from the world of art, technology, science, social statures and ideas were also changing drastically. So many advancements were taking place and suddenly life, and its various aspects, were getting difficult to understand. On one hand the general public were wreathed with questions and ambiguities while on the other end artists were breaking free as they had discovered the new ways to express themselves which were beyond any boundaries.
Birth of abstract art:
If you follow the traces of evidences, which history holds, and then you will be able to understand that the birth of abstract art paintings was no accident. When photography was introduced, it was able to depict the reality more sharply and precisely then any artist ever could. This brought in a question in the mind of artists pertaining to the presence of their entire community. If we see the trends of history more clearly then we will know that Cubism, Fauvism, Impressionism and all other movements were the ancestors of abstract paintings. These art movements paved the way and challenged the idea of perception and thought. As a result of all these, abstract art paintings were born.
Different kinds of abstract art:
Abstract art can be divided into innumerable categories. However, in the broader spectrum of things it is divided into the following six categories.
- Curvilinear Abstract Art:
This art style is known for its abstract patterns which are created by the help of curving lines. These curved marks can be used to create various elements of the entire abstract painting. Major kinds of curvilinear abstractions are linked with Celtic art. This art form was able to employ a wide diversity of abstract themes which include various kinds of patterns and spirals.
- Colour and Light related Abstract Art:
This kind of art was illustrated by the great artists Turner and Monet. They created marvellous abstract paintings by tactfully incorporating colours and lights into the work of art in such a manner that it detaches the painting from reality. Some famous examples of this kind of abstract art paintings are Water Lilly Paintings by Claude Monet and the Talisman by Paul Serusier.
- Gestural Abstract Art:
Under this form of abstract art paintings focus lies more on the making of the portrait. The paint is generally applied in strange and rare ways. Another common trend which can be witnessed is that the brushwork is loose and rapid. If we talk about the famous artists, who created artworks in this genre, then Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning would be the leading ones.
- Emotional or Intuitional Abstract Art:
It grips different kind of styles and commonly moves around the subjects of realistic trends. The naturalistic aspect of things can be witnessed in the unique flairs of colours and shapes that are used. This style of abstract paintings captures the natural elements but in fewer representational methods. Mark Rothko is one of the most celebrated artists of this genre of abstract art paintings.
All-in-all, abstract art is created with the sole aim to change the perception of realism and to introduce a new viewpoint i.e. the artist's perspective. As it differs from realism in so many aspects, hence its ways of evaluation are also different.

It seems that this year it's all about blending and juicing, and with the amount of products on the market, it's a bit of a minefield when looking for a gadget that gives you what you need. Having toyed with the idea of getting the most out of my fresh fruit and veg, I didn't really know which route to go down, and my browsing history was awash with searches for the best blender, smoothie maker and juicer. Having limited storage space in my kitchen was also something to keep in mind and I found a lot of the units were bulky. I was totally stuck. From my needs, I found that a juicer was best suited and the new Panasonic Slow Juicer MJ-L500 had recently been released to the market. A juicer that not only made juices, but came with the option to make frozen desserts. As my vegetable intake was far higher than my fruit intake, I thought I'd be able to make use of a juicer, more than a blender.
The Panasonic Slow Juicer is quite a heavy unit, with several parts that slot together to build the juicer. Opening the box on the first day that I received it, I was almost unsure that I would be able to put it together, yet it was extremely easy. It's quite a compact unit when assembled, which helps with my lack of space, and it breaks down into easy to store sections.
The juicer works by using a centrifugal juicer which crushes the fruit and veg slowly to release the most amount of juice, and keeping a higher amount of vitamins and minerals compared to those juicers which masticate the fruit. The fruit goes into the top of the juicer, the unit quietly crushes the fruit and sends the pulp out of the waste outlet, whilst fresh, rich juice trickles into the container. It's quite interesting to see just how little waste comes from the fruit, yet all the bits that you wouldn't want in the juice get removed.
For this post, I made a berry based juice. I added apples, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries which were heading towards their end of their days into the juicer, and watched how it pulped out all the seeds, pips and other bits into the waste container, leaving me with a thick and rich juice. It was so thick that it reminded me of a smoothie rather than a juice.
Breaking the unit down to clean it was a job that I wasn't particularly looking forward to, but the device comes with a handy toothbrush style brush to ensure all bits are removed from the juicer and the outlets. Sometimes, having something that is difficult to clean, it puts you off future use, however the juicer has been frequently used.
Being dairy free, I have also found a new found love for fruit sorbet and the Panasonic Slow Juicer has been a god send in this weather. I've been cheating with pre-frozen fruits, which I usually use for my overnight oats, yet if I was to be on the ball, I'd simply chop my chosen fruits, freeze them and use the frozen attachment and function for fresh and tasty sorbet.
The addiction to fresh fruit juice is becoming quite apparent and as I live locally to a Farmers market, I've been buying more fruity that I ever have before, just to make fresh juice. My fruit intake is up and I can really tell the difference from my fresh juice compared to buying pre packaged fruit juice in cartons.
I love my juicer, and I look forward to creating new fresh recipes and sitting on the couch with a bowl of freshly made sorbet. Heavenly.

I enjoy a good scary movie, but there just aren't any good ones anymore. At least I haven't found any that I like. I remember as a kid watching all those scary movies of the day, like Friday the 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street. As a kid I thought they were super scary, but watching them now, I just see them as cheesy.
I do however LOVE a good suspense movie and probably one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES, is Silence of the Lambs. Some people thinks it's scary, but I just think it's just wonderfully intense! Anthony Hopkins is just so incredible in his portrayal of the cannibalistic psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter. He falls into my category of characters that I 'hate to love'.
My neighbor Blythe, (from the old neighborhood) and my birthdays fall about a week apart and we usually do something together, whether it be a pedicure, out to lunch, or lunch and a movie. One year, she said we would do lunch at her house and I could pick the movie. Well, you know which movie I picked. Yep, you guessed it. Silence of the Lambs. She wasn't happy. . .AT ALL! However, being the good sport that she is, she did watch it with me. I pick on her all the time about being such a scaredy cat, and you don't know HOW tempting it is, to not call her when her husband is out of town and say. . . ."I'll help you catch him, Clarice"! (Insert evil grin.) I never do! But I am SO tempted!!!
Sally and Bella seem to be 'kind of' enjoying a scary movie themselves. Judging by Bella's reaction, I bet it's The Wizard of Oz. That mean old witch sure had it in for poor little Toto. And poor Bella, she just can't bare to watch. I have my sneaky suspicions that Bella probably didn't get much sleep that night. She probably stayed up all night for fear that if she fell asleep, that mean and nasty old witch would snatch her up, put her in the basket on the back of that bicycle, pedal away and she'd never see Sally again. Nope, see wasn't going to take any chances.
I think story telling seems to be more Bellas speed. And whatever story Sally is reading to her, it certainly seems to have peaked Bella's interest. Probably some wonderfully heroic story about how Lassie saved little Timmy or the farm. Lassie is her hero. . .oh wait, Lassie was a girl, so that makes her a heroine. Right? Doesn't matter. Bella likes Lassie, that's all that matters.
Which category do you fall under? Scary or heroism?

Disappointment in class today. (I am teaching an undergraduate class in computer and network security.)
I have covered the issue of malleable encryption in at least 4 lectures so far this semester: in the private-key setting (with examples of attacks against CBC mode and CTR mode), in the public-key setting (with examples of attacks against RSA and El Gamal encryption), in the half-lecture review of cryptography at the end of that the unit on cryptography, and when talking about the attacks on WEP. I have also mentioned that non-malleable encryption schemes are available and should be used, explaining authenticated encryption in the private-key setting and telling them about (but not giving them the details of) RSA-OAEP in the public-key setting.
Today I described the following protocol for password-based authentication in a setting where the client knows the server's public key (in addition to a password they share):
- The server sends a nonce R
- The client responds with an encryption of (pw, R)
I then pointed out that if encryption is not done carefully, there is an attack. (An easy example is given if Enc(pw, R) = Enc(pw), Enc(R).) I noted that the reason this attack is possible is precisely because of malleability. I then asked what type of encryption scheme should be used instead.
Not a single student was able to give a correct answer ("a non-malleable encryption scheme").
Do I expect too much? I keep resisting the idea of "dumbing down" the class too much, but faced with things like this I am not sure what to do.

Calliope Quick Start
From Tekkotsu Wiki
This page will show you how to operate your Calliope robot. Your robot should have come with Linux and Tekkotsu pre-installed, but if you need to reinstall anything, see the Calliope install instructions.
Power On
Note: these instructions assume that you have installed the correct Linux Udev Rules on the netbook to ensure that device ids are assigned correctly.
- Make sure that the ASUS netbook and Create batteries are both fully charged. If your Calliope includes an auxiliary battery in the cargo bay make sure that is charged as well.
- Make sure the webcam is plugged in to the netbook's USB port.
- Make sure the USB hub is plugged in to the netbook's other USB port.
- Make sure the USB-to-serial cable is plugged in to the USB hub, and the other end is plugged in to the Create.
- Turn on the netbook. It should boot and log you in automatically. If it asks you to log in, specify the user name "user". Ask the robot's owner for the password.
- Disconnect the Create from the battery charger, then press the power button. The power LED should flash red/green and then turn solid green, and the robot should give a little beep. If the power LED is yellow or red, the battery is low. If you're unfamiliar with the Create, see this list of Create Controls and Indicators.
Starting Tekkotsu
From here on the steps for running Tekkotsu are the same as for the Create/ASUS robot, except that instead of running tekkotsu-CREATE you will run tekkotsu-CALLIOPENOARM or tekkotsu-CALLIOPE, depending on which model you have. Please see the Create/ASUS Quick Start page for detailed instructions.

If no one does. Menards has bricks for 39 cents each. Bought 24 for less than $10. You should be able to find a ton of options for under $25. Bags of pea gravel may also work and would be even cheaper.

Forest USB A to USB B Digital Audio Cable
The Forest cable offers a far smoother & richer tonal balance, much greater resolution and a clearer sonic picture. The secret is in Audioquest's unyielding commitment to quality; every aspect of Forest's construction from the type of connectors used to the direction of the conductors has been scrutinized, auditioned, revised and perfected to create a cable that offers outstanding performance for a fraction of the cost of most audiophile designs.
Call To Purchase
- Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like USB audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable.
- Forest USB uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile.
- Precision gold-plated plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make a low-distortion connection.

This week at Infection Landscapes we will cover influenza, one of the most significant respiratory diseases to affect humans, and which does so on an annual basis. Influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality each year in both the developing and developed world.
The name "influenza" is derived from the Italian word for influence because, centuries ago, it was believed that this disease occurred as a result of the influence of the movement of the sun and the stars given its seasonal nature.
The Pathogen. Influenza is caused by one of three genera of influenza viruses in the Orthomyxoviridae family: influenza A, influenza B, and influenza C. Of these three, influenza A is the most virulent and thus is responsible for the greatest burden of disease. As such, most of this discussion will focus on influenza A.
Influenza A viruses are enveloped and have an RNA genome in 8 segments. The genome is single stranded and negative sense, and is enclosed in a helical capsid:
The Epidemiology and the Landscape. Influenza A virus is spread via droplet, airborne and contact transmission, with droplet transmission probably serving as the most important during seasonal transmission. The overall attack rate in large populations is typically between 10% to 20% during the annual epidemics (seasonal flu), however some subpopulations or local outbreaks can have attack rates approaching 40%. These higher attack rates usually occur in children and, as such, they play a critical role in the spread of influenza in communities during the annual epidemics. Indeed, schools and/or daycare centers will often serve as the primary loci of infection transmission during these epidemics. This is reflected in the typical peak incidence of infection occurring in young school age children prior to the peak in any other age group. The annual global incidence of influenza is unknown given the extreme difficulty in recording and classifying respiratory infections that do not result in hospitalization in most parts of the world. However, the annual global mortality attributable to influenza is estimated to be between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths. In the United States, the annual incidence is estimated to be between 35 and 50 million cases, with between 200,000 and 250,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths.
The above map (published in PLoS Comput Biol 6(1): e1000656. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000656) simulates the typical distribution of prevalent influenza cases in the US once the seasonal epidemic has begun, given that each infectious case will, on average, lead to more than one new infectious case in a completely susceptible population (R0=1.6). The map demonstrates the high level of transmission, as well as the potential need for the mobilization of resources, in urban areas.
Seasonal, or epidemic, influenza follows a annual, roughly predictable, pattern each year in the temperate regions of the northern and southern hemispheres. In the southern hemisphere, epidemics usually occur in the May to September winter season, while in the northern hemisphere they occur from October to May. For example, in China, Europe, and North America, the epidemic peak(s) usually occurs between November and March: manifested first by high rates of school and industrial absenteeism, followed by an increase in visits to health care facilities, an increase in pneumonia and influenza hospital admissions, and finally an increase in deaths from pneumonia or influenza. In any specific locality, epidemic influenza often begins abruptly, reaches a peak within three weeks, and usually ends by 8 weeks. A given region can also experience 2 epidemic peaks with different virus strains, either in sequence or with overlap. In tropical climates influenza can occur in seasonal epidemics, often during the monsoon or rainy seasons, or endemic transmission can occur throughout the year. The former tropical pattern may suggest that, in these areas of high humidity, powerful climatic forces such as a monsoon may cause people to spend more time indoors in close proximity to each other and thus facilitate spread of disease. Regardless of the time of year, geography, or climate, epidemic influenza occurs because of antigenic drift, i.e. the slow incremental changes that accrue in the viral genome by way of mutation as described above.
Pandemic influenza does not occur in a regular predictable pattern each year, but rather occurs only periodically over the course of decades and can be much more severe because all or a large proportion of the the population is immunologically naive and clinically susceptible to the new emerging virus. These are the antigenic shift events, i.e. widespread global infection following those changes in the viral genome that are due to reassortment. Over the course of the last one hundred years, 5 such shift events have occurred that have lead to 5 subsequent pandemics. The most devastating of these was the 1918 shift to the H1N1 subtype, which resulted in the death of approximately 50 million people worldwide. In 1957, influenza A shifted from the H1N1 to the H2N2 subtype, but with a much lower global burden of disease than the previous 1918 pandemic. In 1968, influenza A H2N2 was replaced by influenza A H3N2, which circulated for the next decade until, in 1977, the influenza A H1N1 subtype re-emerged. This re-emergence was associated with very high attack rates (~50%) in individuals born after 1956 as they had not been exposed because the H1N1 subtype had been replaced by the H2N2 subtype in 1957. For the next three decades, from 1977 until 2009, the re-emerged H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes co-circulated in the population causing the annual influenza epidemics each year. Then, in 2009, a new influenza A H1N1 subtype emerged in Mexico and subsequently replaced the earlier H1N1 subtype. This most recent pandemic in 2009 did not cause the extensive morbidity and mortality that was feared at the beginning of the outbreaks in North America. Overall, morbidity and mortality were lower than in previous pandemics. It is believed that this may have been due in part to the reduced morbidity and mortality among people over the age of 65 years. Nevertheless, there was substantive morbidity and mortality associated with this pandemic and it followed atypical patterns. For example, the vast majority of deaths (~96%) occurred in people under the age of 65, whereas the majority of deaths (~90%) occur in people over the age of 65 during seasonal influenza epidemics. Moreover, the number of deaths due to influenza in children was 4 times greater during the 2009 pandemic than what it is during seasonal influenza epidemics.
It is important to discuss the ecologic relationship between human epidemic influenza and pandemic influenza. To begin, there are strains of influenza A virus that infect humans, there are strains that infect birds, and there are strains that infect pigs. Nevertheless, all influenza A viruses circulating today are evolutionarily derived from bird influenza A. Birds, and in particular waterfowl, are the natural primary reservoir host for all current circulating bird inlfuenza A. These birds are also, either directly or indirectly via another intermediate host (generally pigs), the historic reservoir for all influenza A that subsequently adapted to other animals. New subtypes of human influenza A typically emerge when the genome of a current circulating human influenza A subtype reassorts with the genome of a subtype of current circulating bird influenza A or the genome of a subtype of current circulating pig influenza A. Pigs can harbor infection with several influenza subtypes because they have the epithelial cell receptors for both bird and human HA. As such, pigs are considered important "mixing vessel" hosts for reassortment events. However, in order for a new human subtype to become a pandemic virus it must 1) be new to a relatively large proportion of the population; i.e. the global population must be relatively immunologically naive to the new subtype, 2) it must be able to replicate and cause disease in humans, and 3) it must be easily transmissible between humans. The last point is particularly important as the new subtype will not become a human inlfuenza A subtype if it cannot be transmitted between people, even if human infection is possible zoonotically. Infection with the highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1 (commonly referred to as bird flu) exemplifies this. This is a bird inlfuenza A subtype, not a human inlfuenza A subtype. While this bird subtype is capable of infecting and causing severe disease in some humans, it is not currently capable of causing a pandemic because it cannot be transmitted efficiently from person to person. The graphic below produced by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases nicely depicts the species and transmission pathways that can lead to antigenic shift in the influenza A virus and subsequent pandemics.
The mixing of different influenza A subtypes from different animal species is central to producing new and potentially dangerous subtypes that can result in new human influenza A, which can subsequently lead to new pandemics. Moreover, the nature of such genetic exchange makes the elimination of human influenza A virtually impossible. There are two primary landscapes that converge to optimize reassortment of influenza A subtypes: 1) the sylvan landscapes and migratory paths of waterfowl and, 2) the agricultural lands and markets, both subsistence and industrial, of humans. The spaces where these converge are places where sylvan birds can come into contact with domestic birds (e.g. chickens), which may also be in direct contact with pigs. As such, these landscapes can be important sources of diverse influenza A subtype circulation among multiple hosts and may serve as important sources of human exposure.
The previous discussion of antigenic drift highlighted the importance of influenza virus mutability. This requires that a new vaccine is produced each year because the vaccines stimulate an immune response that targets those same components of HA and NA antigens whose genes are subject to the high rate of mutation. The process of having to renew vaccine production with new strains of virus on an annual basis has made achieving a consistently high level of vaccine effectiveness difficult. Nevertheless, it is currently the best we have and the vaccine effectiveness is not negligible.
There are two types of vaccine: an inactivated vaccine (the injection) and a "live" attenuated vaccine (nasal spray). Neither of these vaccines are capable of causing influenza. The overall vaccine effectiveness for the inactivated vaccine against seasonal influenza based on recent meta-analyses is approximately 60% (the "live" vaccine seems to have a higher effectiveness, however the data are much more limited because so much less of the this vaccine is produced). While this is certainly not ideal, it still does provide a level of protection that can have some important implications. First, specific subpopulations, such as school children, can be very important for targeted vaccination as these are typically the loci of epidemic transmission and community dissemination of seasonal influenza. Moreover, there is evidence that the vaccine effectiveness is markedly better in children. Blocking transmission in this setting, even with imperfect effectiveness, can have important implications for the epidemic curves of localized outbreaks, as well as the national incidence of severe illness and hospitalizations and deaths. Second, the vaccine, even when it does not prevent infection for a given individual, can still mitigate the severity of that infection. As such, the people who are vaccinated and do get infected still benefit from protection because they will generally experience illness that is less severe than those who were not vaccinated. And, as discussed above, the problem with influenza is the potential for developing complications when illness is severe. Third, there are subgroups in the population who are at particularly high risk for influenza infection. These are infants and small children, the elderly, and immunocompromised people. By getting vaccinated, we significantly reduce the risk of transmitting what could be a deadly infection to these high risk people by either preventing the infection in ourselves, or by limiting the severity of disease we experience if we do get infected and thus our transmissibility to others. If you are wondering whether or not the influenza vaccine is for you just read through the infographic below by TeleVox:

Simple Kneaded Homemade Bread is a Brazilian recipe that is very easy to follow. This is a bread recipe that is perfect for breakfast next day or afternoon snack. You can be creative and add all sorts of things such as coconut, crystalized fruit or raisins to give an extra taste. This time, I made a simple recipe and didn't add anything to it. The choice is yours!
Level of difficulty: Easy
Time spent: 10 min to knead
2 hours for the dough to rise
30 min to bake
1 egg
300 g of bread or all-purpose flour
250ml of warm milk
6 table spoons of sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
1 and ½ envelopes of Yeast
1 yok to brush the top of the bread
More flour to reach the right consistency
Your hands and muscles
A roll (recommended)
A culinary brush (recommended)
Big mixing bowl
Wooden spoon
How to make it:
Grab the 300 g of flour and pour in the mixing bowl. Reserve.
Warm the milk then put all first six ingredients from the list in the blender. Leave it on for about a minute, until the yeast is completely blended in the mixture.
Pour the mixture on top of the flour in the mixing bowl. With a wooden spoon, mix the content together until it starts to become solid. Put the spoon away and start adding flour to the mixture. At this time, start kneading the dough with your hands and keep adding flour until the dough is not sticking to your fingers anymore. Use the roll to help with this process. Once it becomes good homogenous dough, cover the mixing bowl with a paper towel and a kitchen towel on top of it. Reserve it to rise for about 1 hour.
After an hour…..
Go back to the dough and knead it some more. Use the roll to spread the dough a couple of times. Bring it back to the mixing bowl, cover all up again and let it rise for another hour.
After another hour…
Turn on the oven on 300F. Knead the dough one more time. Model your bread and place it on a butter greased tray.
Grab the yok (only the yok) and beat it on a separate bowl. With the culinary brush, spread the yok on top of your bread so that it grabs a nice tan while in the oven!
Put the bread in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. Check with a fork to see if bread is done. Enjoy!
My Tips:
When greasing the tray, it makes it helpful to powder some flour in it also in order to help release the bread afterwards.
Place a tray or an aluminum cup filled with water in the oven when putting the bread in the oven to bake. It helps with the humidity inside the oven causing the crust to be crunchy but the inside of the bread to be soft.
Let me know in your comments below if you have done it or if you have any good tips for bread making!

Rhubarb has come into season. Despite its bad rap as being stringy and fibrous, when cooked, rhubarb will become a perfect consistency for pie/tart filling. I've cooked with rhubarb before and I adore it for its brightness in flavor. Of course, it needs to be combined with lots of sugar to achieve the desired sweetness but it's forgiven because the end result is most often delicious.
Here, it's boosted with the presence of orange peels in a tart filling. Rhubarb, sugar, and orange peels were cooked together in a saucepan to a thick-syrupy melange, its aroma permeates my kitchen like being in orange groves. My son commented as to what I was cooking for he's eager to know what made the house smelled so good.
Since there're eggs in the filling, it tastes custardy, quite soft, but actually provides contrast to the flaky crust. The rhubarb and orange go together happily by giving out tang and citrusy note. Top the tart with Chantilly cream or vanilla ice cream and it will perhaps be a dessert to enjoy for Mother's Day. I, myself, will go to a neighborhood restaurant with my family and parents to enjoy a night out. Happy Mother's Day to you!
Rhubarb Orange Tart
Makes 8 servings
14 ounces rhubarb
Grated peel of 2 oranges
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 prebaked 9-inch tart crust
Vanilla ice cream or Chantilly cream
Preheat oven to 325F.
Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces, discarding the leafy end. Cook the rhubarb, orange peel, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool for 10 minutes.
Stir in the butter and the flour. Stir in the beaten eggs. Spread the rhubarb filling into the prebaked tart shell. Bake the tart until set, about 25 minutes.
Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Serve with ice cream or Chantilly cream. Tart is best made and served the same day.
Tart Dough
Makes 1 9-inch tart
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
5 ounces (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy (whipping) cream
1 large egg
Put the flour, sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and the egg. Pulse the flour mixture until the butter is pea sized. This will happen very quickly--be careful not to overprocess. With the machine running, pour the cream mixture into the food processor. Process just until the dough comes together.
Preheat the oven to 400F. Have ready a sheet of aluminum foil large enough that it comes up several inches above the shell.
Line the tart shell with aluminum foil, press lightly along the sides and let it stand up on the edges of the tart (don't bend the extra foil to the sides). Fill with dried rice or dried beans. Bake until the edges of the crust are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and rice, lower the oven temperature to 375F, and continue to bake for about 10 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is golden brown.

Aero-Astro Magazine Highlight
The following article appears in the 2006–2007 issue of Aero-Astro, the annual report/magazine of the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department. © 2007 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Earll Murman makes everything he touches better
By Wesley L. Harris
I met Earll Murman during the summer of 1964 at Princeton University where we were graduate students. He was party to my learning to play squash, learning to measure wake profiles with a conical probe, and learning to navigate the trenches of graduate life.
From 1990 to 1996, as our department head, Earll set the standard of serving the MIT Department of Aeronautics. Earll lead us through the development of a strategic plan that would be Aero-Astro's roadmap for the next decade. He prioritized strengthening our community of scholars. He showed us how to make tough decisions without negatively impacting the essence of who and what we are. Earll made us better and stronger in so many dimensions.
During the summer of 2005, Earll returned to help the Department during a time of special need. With full suit of armor, Earll came to our aid and served as only Earll can for one year as our deputy department head. He led the charge to recruit new, world-class faculty members. He strengthened our relationship with MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. Simply put, he smoothly steered our grand ship through fields of icebergs.
Following a successful career in industry as a vice president and general manager, Earll joined the MIT faculty in July 1980 as a full professor. His MIT tenure included service as director of Project Athena (1988-1991), head of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (1991-1996), director of the Lean Aerospace Initiative (1995-2002), and deputy head of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (2005-2006). A member of the National Academy of Engineering, the Royal Aeronautical Society, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, Earll's peers around the globe recognize and honor him as an outstanding scholar. His seminal paper in computational fluid dynamics ushered in a new area of research. Our students, staff, and faculty have cited Earll as outstanding academic advisor and for work to building a sense of community. Indeed, he is "a person who makes everything he touches better."

Southwest Colorado has experienced a spate of murder cases during the last two years, and some local judges have responded by clamping down on the flow of information to the public.
The 6th Judicial District which includes Archuleta, San Juan and La Plata counties has at least 12 murder cases chugging through the system.
It has been a flurry, said District Attorney Todd Risberg. Its shocking.
Arrest affidavits, which state the facts and circumstances in support of an arrest, have been sealed in eight murder cases, according to court records.
Local judges acknowledge it has become common to seal arrest affidavits in murder cases, but a Denver media lawyer said it is improper in most cases to keep criminal justice records sealed from the public long after charges have been filed.
Affidavits of probable cause in support of arrest or search warrants even in cases of murder are routinely made available to the public once the suspect has been charged with the crime, said Denver media lawyer Steve Zansberg, who represents The Durango Herald.
One would hope that the prosecution, the defense and the judge would all recognize the rights of the public to inspect the court file, he said.
Two district judges, Jeffrey Wilson and David Dickinson, have been responsible for restricting public access to arrest affidavits in the eight murder cases.
To be fair, six of the murder cases involve one incident the murder of Joey Benavidez, who was shot and killed April 3 a few miles southwest of Ignacio.
Judges sealed the arrest affidavits to allow law enforcement to identify all the suspects and make arrests. But the affidavits remain under seal several months after the arrests and charges were filed.
Chief District Judge Gregory Lyman is overseeing two murder cases in Pagosa Springs, and arrest affidavits remain open to the public in both cases.
During interviews this week, Wilson and Dickinson said there is no automatic policy to limit public access to criminal justice records in murder cases.
But if lawyers or investigators ask for an arrest report to be sealed, both judges said they are likely to grant the request.
For me, its just when they ask, Wilson said.
Said Dickinson: I think the courts are probably just trying to be extra careful dealing with these cases because they may not know everything that is happening in the case.
Both judges also acknowledge that once an arrest affidavit is sealed, it is unlikely judges ever revisit them to consider whether they should remain under seal, unless someone makes a formal request.
Wilson said he is unsure if that would require a simple letter from a member of the public or a legal motion filed by a lawyer.
Lawyers for the Herald filed a 12-page legal brief last year seeking to unseal the court file and arrest affidavit for Justin Wiese, who is accused of killing his friend near Hermosa.
Dickinson ordered lawyers in the case to show good cause for keeping the documents hidden from the public. Neither prosecutor nor defense lawyer made any arguments for keeping the case under seal, and Dickinson released the affidavit for public view.
In his order to unseal the case, Dickinson said case files should not be closed unless dissemination of the information would create a clear and present danger to the fairness of the trial, or the prejudicial effect of such information about trial fairness cannot be avoided by any reasonable alternative means.
Risberg said he prefers to try criminal cases in the community where they happen. But if too many details are released, it can taint a jury pool, he said.
Its a tough balance, he said, because I think the public does have a right to know what is going on in their courts and in their communities, but at the same time, my obligation is to make sure we can get this case tried here and the defendant has a fair trial.
Zansberg said courts have numerous mechanisms at their disposal to ensure a fair trial while upholding the publics right to know. They can screen potential jurors, enlarge the size of the jury panel and change the trial venue.
It is almost procedural for prosecutors or defense lawyers to request gag orders or to seal documents in high-profile cases.
It may make sense to seal them immediately, but later on we need a discussion about (whether it is) appropriate to keep this sealed, Risberg said. The community is wondering whats going on.

Our 'Not So Much a Mud Room' Mud Room is Complete!
5 comments:
It looks great! And I wouldn't have been able to resist showing Sadie either. We have two GSPs and they too rarely stop for anything especially pictures. You did a great job and I'm loving your blog!ReplyDelete
Great job! So much fun to personalize each of our spaces.ReplyDelete
I bet your wall tins are from my buddy from Missour??? He was in the tent this year and has fabulous stuff. If so, I met him late last Summer at Oronoco's Gold Rush Days in Oronoco (another great haunt to buy stuff for your house - August), and told him about Junk Bonanza. Came last year and he was in the side building and this year in the tent. FUN if it's his tins. If not, I still bet they're cool. ;) How could it not be when its vintage and tin. ha ha
Very nice. I love the basket and I love how the basket is there, and you can also see the wicker chair in the next room. I like when something matches/compliments each other like that. Great job!ReplyDelete
Cute dog except, please tell me she isn't really as emaciated as she looks in that picture!ReplyDelete
Hi Nancy, no, Sadie is great! I have to admit that made me kind of sad! Sadie is very healthy, she is a German Shorthair Pointer and just turned a year old, they are very lean dogs, built mainly for hunting in fields and long runs, she hasn't hunted yet but I do take her running a lot. I think she is still growing into her bones and will continue to thicken out, but she is happy and healthy (and makes me happy everyday too, shorthairs are very sweet and cuddly!).ReplyDelete

Sometimes, you happen on something that you didn't know was there before. This is a short tale of when that actually happened to me. It was this evening, so not a long time ago, but it moved me to get off my lazy arse and actually write another blog post.
The title may seem odd and it is ever so slightly tongue in cheek, but if you think about it, (which I did, however briefly), you realise how cut off deaf people can be from the world that we all take for granted.
I was doing some admin type bits on my Youtube videos (which can be found HERE) and wanting to check what I had said about a beer I had had before, (I'm not a computer or Hopzine and don't have instant recall of every tasting note I've ever made). As I was doing this, the cursor lazily hovered over a button I hadn't really had sight of before. It's a little icon that looks like a cc. As it hovered, words came up on the screen, it took me a few seconds to realise they did bear relation to at least some of the words I was saying on the screen.
What I had come across was the Beta version of Youtube subtitles. What I had also come across, was a source of amusement. So, in part to raise awareness of how some people are left outside of the brave new digital world, and partly for some cheap laughs, here are some choice quotes on beer, as interpreted by this service.
Here is a quote from my review of Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye:
'theres not stempel, asking this is just what kind of boja peninsula cannot simply be strip for me, is not their because its a strong god wants it and a half percent'
Makes perfect sense, no? I thought it was maybe me, with my lazy, west-country accent and my occasional tendency to use slang and colloquialisms. So, I thought I'd better confirm this by watching some of my fellow beer chums on their reviews.
So, Mrs Real Ale Guide Mrs Real Ale Guide on Brooklyn Brewery East India Pale Ale, she's the poshest person I know, so it should turn out great, yeah?
'probably, its gonna make me back useless equipment, uh, now its not as good as some of that America during peacetime...basically kidnappings arms'
Insightful stuff, I'm sure you'll agree. I didn't know Mel was so keen on international relations.
So, what happens when Somerset Real Ale Reviews gets in on the act with his review of the excellent Thornbridge Wild Swan?
'tonights fix it takes a lot this topic of nation and is a very call culmination, congregate colours that too, but you get all of these qualities are so for every death for his release'
Just for a second, it made sense, then it started getting all Lord of the Rings.
It was getting serious at this point, so I thought I'd better find a cockney accent, everyone can understand those, yeah? Eastenders is a kind of cultural touchstone that everyone in the world understands, even googles robots...yeah? So, to the Urban Viking and his review of Stone Sublimely Self Righteous :
'at this hour, chocolate fruit, heres whats on your time, sprout, you know its completely finished on this'
Now, I've not had this beer, but I doubt that Stone were looking for sprout as the thing that you would take away from that particular beer experience. Also, I'm not sure Dave was going for the rap style middle to that section.
Anyway, enough ramblings. There is a serious point to this blog and it is so serious, it isn't even evading me. Youtube have a lot of work to do on this service, but I'm glad they are doing it.
Until next time. Cheers.
I like real ale. I like craft beer. I like both big and subtly nuanced hoppy beers. I love a good porter and could drink saison all day long. I like to homebrew in my kitchen with all grain batches. What I can't abide is Stella et al, I'd sooner not have a drink. This blog isn't just about reviews, I do those on twitter and youtube, it's more about beer in general. I'll send you here from twitter @realalein140 when I have blogged in the fuller sense.

Two of my most favorite people in the world just purchased a home in Portland and I want to celebrate with a gift.
They love to cook and also go out for great meals (all types of food)
I thought of sending them something special from Baltimore, but I am thinking I could get a gift certificate from either a nice restaurant or gourmet shop out your way.
Any cool places you would suggest?
Before they bought they were renting in the Pearl district and loved a lot of the places there (sorry, no names I can recall)
Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
