河豚 – River pig! Beloved blowfish. Admired for it's quirkiness and puffiness. Forgive me for masticating on you. Absolve me from my consumption. But I did not taste the dreaded moudoku ( 猛毒), nor the dangerous kyoudoku (強毒) or the risky jyakudoku (弱毒), and quite thankfully, for they are poisons…
The particular pufferfish I ate is called shousaifugu in Japanese (below) and has deadly poison in its liver and ovaries and dangerous poison in its skin. Of course I wasn't aware of that at the time, but trusted my host family with their word that virtually no-one dies from eating fugu in restaurants. I did spot the chef carefully slices the pieces of thin yellowish meat opposite the tank of lacklustre fugu fishes. One happened to be enjoying a swim upside down too… o.O;
Pufferfish have the toxin 'tetrodotoxin', a neurotoxin that causes paralysis while leaving the victim fully concious eventually to die usually within 4 to 24 hours of asphyxiation. It is a poison 1200 times more lethal than cyanide, according to Wikipedia. It is the same toxin found in the Blue Ringed Octopus, and is produced by the bacteria eaten with food. Therefore, puffers raised in captivity who have not been exposed to the bacteria are not poisonous. Wait, were the puffers I ate raised in captivity..?

Well, I still haven't said what it was actually like… Between the sake and the sea urchin sushi, I guess it was rather bland and a little chewy, though no where near the mouthful the octopus tentacle was. I chewed on that thing for damn near half and hour and still had to force the battle-damaged tentacle down with water afterwards! It was sliced very thinly and arranged in a circular fashion around some sort of dressing. For the price and the risk I'd say it probably isn't worth it, but there are some fish connoisseurs who would smack their lips and undoubtedly disagree I'm sure.
I was very full of fish by the end of it, and felt my head sliding a bit more than usual when I looked around the room. I guess I was slightly tipsy from the sake my host father kept ordering. It was a nice meal, and I slept in a comfortable, warm futon that night instead of my creaky, hard bed at AIU. I was up early the next morning to leave their house for my 9 o'clock lesson, should I not be paralysed…

I think a yoga practice should be challenging yet fun!
Favorite pose: Tree
I take a lighthearted approach to a fairly vigorous flow. I enjoy finding the intersection of mindfulness and athleticism on my mat. My sequencing is thoughtfully improvised and includes playful balancing and unusual transitions. I view yoga as an art form and allow the metaphor of the poses to speak for themselves.
Random quote: "Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile"
I have discovered that I need to expend energy in order to quiet my mind and tire my body; and my classes reflect this realization. Come expecting to sweat and (gasp) maybe even laugh.
Second favorite pose: Forearm plank
I completed my 200 hour training under Alexa Lane at Aloka Life in Westport, CT in 2010. I am also a TRX instructor and a Baby Om teacher.
Guilty pleasure: Boston sports talk radioSchedule a Private Yoga Session with John

text: I'am still truck searching and I really would like to have a 4wheeldrive so I'am thinking about a F-350 4x4 cab and chassis again. I may have to build a 4x4 because F-350 4x4 cab and chassis trucks are fairly rare in the 88-97 year range which is what I'am looking at. Heres the thing I still need a truck with a 12x8 deck for general work I'am not hauling heavy loads anymore I have got a part time job with a excavation contractor. I will still do the rubbish removal and construction site clean up but no more gravel hauling its too hard on the truck thats what tandem axle dump trucks are for. I'am after a general work truck something that I can drive back and forth to work and not burn gallons of diesel fuel. A regular P/U truck isn't big enough I still need a truck with a 11-12 foot deck so I have the length to haul a bundle of pipe and the deck volume to haul light materials like brush and branches. I feel my current F-Superduty (450) is overkill the heaviest thing on the deck in the last 2 months is the 40lb toolbox. The truck has turned into a 15,000lb gvw daily driver that is currently getting 10mpg because of winter diesel fuel and 5:13 gears that gives me a top speed of 62mph What do you think is owning a 1.5 ton truck worth having if it only see's a heavy load once in awhile ? I know I have asked this before but I would like to know if a regular 1 ton dually would suit my needs ? Any ideas

I have "Korean twitter" me2day!
At the beginning of this month, me2day has introduced English* interface. Thanks to the likes of allkpop, huge number of English-speaking users are signing up for me2day account for the past one week!
*also Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified and Japanese
me2day is known as the Korean equivalent of Twitter. It was first available in Korean and catered Korean users for their microblogging needs. Now, huge wave of foreign language speakers (English, Chinese & Japanese) are colonising me2day thanks to marketing campaign.
Instead of following users unilaterally, you send a friend request to the user you want to follow. After the friend request is approved, you can view each other's updates and send each other private messages. If you choose not to "friend", the unilateral "follow" is still available, but you don't get to interact on a more intimate level.
In the world of me2day, you are actually friends with your celebrity of interest instead of only "following" him/her. How cool is that!
As usual, I followed my favourite celebrity. Take UEE of After School as my celebrity of interest..
I recognise UEE by face but I don't understand a single word of her update! What should I do?
Fret not, follow me2stars to get updates translated into English! I'll still follow my celebrity to show my love, even though I can't understand what they say.
Which celebrities are on me2day? IU, T-ara, miss A, Big Bang and many more. Oh yeah, don't forget to follow allkpop too.
Despite encouragement to sign up for me2day, there remain language barriers to be crossed. Most English me2day accounts belong to Kpop fans; they may not understand what their stars are saying; we are forming our own group and randomly adding each other. It has never been this fun before!
What are you waiting for?
Already have a me2day account? Follow me at biopolymath

Red Fort New Delhi Reviews

Another fort built by Shaja Han,, Jun 16, 2012
Redfort, Lal Kila is built by the emporer Shaja Han. After building Taj Mahal and Agra fort, Shahjahan decided to move his capital to Delhi and built this beautiful fort. as per history books, architects of that time spent 9 plus years to complete this structure.
Red fort is located in walk distance from chandini chowk metro railway station on yellow line in Delhi. This palace complex has decorative buildings, halls, nosque from mughal rulers and also beautiful buildings constructed by Britishers too. Promeminister of India will host the National flag here on Independance day every year.
This palace has a souvenir market in the begining. Light and sound show in place all evenings too.. Entry fee is INR 10 for Indian citizens and 5USD for all others.
This fort is listed in the World heritage list too..

The majesty of Old Delhi Feb 11, 2011
Although the landscape of New Delhi is very mixed, the impressive and imposing nature of Red Fort is a glimpse of old Delhi!
The place is best described as a fortress within enclosed walls, and is worth a visit on the tightest of itineraries. It is associated with the Mughals, and apart from housing emperors from Mughal India, it was home to the famous Kohinoor diamond at one point.
These days, the sight is a rather impressive collection of palaces, mosques and other buildings. The spacing between the buildings is very ordered, and the grounds are nicely maintained. I think the detail and intricacy of the decoration is as impressive as the Taj Mahal, and it shares the same architectural and religious influences.
Apart from the main buildings, save some time for the museum which is at the very back of the complex. The building contains some wonderful old Korans and some Islamic paintings.
A very lovely way to spend the afternoon in New Delhi. Recommended.

Red Fort a mandatory visit May 18, 2011
Red fort is one of the attactions I've enjoy to visit in Delhi.
Very large and amazing building. There is some similarity with Agra Red Fort, but i would recomend to visit both if you go to Agra.
No guide will be required, i've used my motorist as guide (i just pay his entrance ticket that is very cheap for locals for he doesn't have to wait in the car.

Delhi Must-See Jul 30, 2008
Named for the reddish hue of the bricks made from local mud, this facinating site dates back to the 1600s. With very obvious architecural similarities to the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort gives the visitor some insight as to how powerful the Mogul Empire was. With impressive walls and battlements standard with a wide moat, you will be awe-struck at the size of the fort. As expected, late in history the fort was taken over by the British Empire and later used as a barracks for the Indian Army following India's independance in 1947. Inside of its walls, you can see buildings stretching back to the Moguls (including the emporer's throne) as well as "newer" additions built by the British and modern Indian Army. Get here early in the morning as after 10am it will pack up and heat up quickly.

text: Since the search capability is not working- sorry if there is an existing thread on this.... Other than going to the store (there is no stores near me-I am in Louisiana) how is someone supposed to make a purchase? Can I call the store and have them ship the items? There are a bunch of really cute items for <10.00 that would make adorable gift add ons for bdays, just because, etc. Thanks for any help with this!


text: Could these be the first official pictures of Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal as a couple? The pair were spotted overseas holding hands as the exited a plane together. Other pictures show them holding and gazing at each other as they walk down the street. Maybe the rumors were true! Then again, some say its just to promote their new movie, Rendition. Either way, I think they make a cute couple.

Reproductive Coercion and Partner Violence:
A New Study on Unintended Pregnancies
Presented by Elizabeth Miller and Rebecca Levenson
Thursday, October 7, 2010, 12 to 1pm ET.
A recent study by researchers from UC Davis School of Medicine and Harvard School of Public Health in collaboration with the Family Violence Prevention Fund sheds light on a little-recognized form of abuse in which men use coercion and birth control sabotage to get a female partner pregnant (when she doesn't want to be) and attempt to control the outcomes of the pregnancy. Reproductive coercion is common in relationships where women experience physical or sexual partner violence. Joining us are author Elizabeth Miller, an assistant professor of Pediatrics in the UC Davis School of Medicine and practitioner at UC Davis Children's Hospital and Rebecca Levenson, Senior Policy Analyst at the Family Violence Prevention Fund, who will discuss the findings of their study and the implications for prevention and intervention efforts.

Ask Alex: Can Jose Reyes repeat as NL batting champ?
We all have questions about the 2012 season and Alex Remington luckily has some answers. The Stew's resident stats guru will address some of the big ones as the year progresses.
The Situation: Jose Reyes, the Miami Marlins' new shortstop, is a hard player to project. On the one hand, the 28-year-old is coming off an amazing season, making his fourth All-Star team while leading the league in batting average. On the other hand, he only played 126 games, and he made his third and fourth trips to the DL in the past three seasons alone.
More troubling, his injuries in 2011 were hamstring-related. Hamstring problems plagued Jose for the first five years of his career: he missed games with hammie issues in his rookie 2003, as well as 2004, 2007, and 2008. For a player who makes his living with his speed, that's genuinely frightening, and it led to the validation of one of Mets owner Fred Wilpon's predictions early last year.
"He thinks he's going to get Carl Crawford money," Wilpon told The New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin. "He's had everything wrong with him. He won't get it."
Wilpon was right, but you can't feel too bad for his former player. Reyes got six years and $106 million (rather than Crawford's seven years/$142 million — although the Red Sox would probably ask for a mulligan on that one if they got the chance.)
Reyes is a great player when healthy. But even if he's fully healthy next year, will he be able to match his 2012 production? Or did he just luck his way into a career year when free agency was on the horizon?
The Question: Can Jose Reyes repeat as NL batting champ?
The Analysis: Fangraphs' Dave Cameron is a big believer in Reyes and in the wisdom of the contract the Miami Marlins handed him this past December:
I don't think there's any question that Jose Reyes is legitimately one of the very best players in baseball. Despite breaking into the majors in 2003 at age 20 and struggling to hit big league pitching at a point when most guys are still working their way up through the minors ... he's performed at an offensive level 28 percent better than his peers in his career to date...
Without those injuries, Reyes could have made a case for a contract twice the size of the one he signed with Miami.
Essentially, Cameron argues, a healthy Reyes is worth so much more than $106 million that the Marlins could afford for him to miss a month every year and still get $106 million worth of value from him. Cameron concludes by writing: "He just has to stay away from something like a skillset-altering leg injury. Essentially, if he can avoid the Grady Sizemore career path, he's a pretty good bet to be worth this contract and then some."
In terms of batting average and overall WAR, 2011 was the best year of Reyes's career, but in other ways it was merely a return to form after a lost 2009 and a below-his-standards 2010. His 39 steals were his most since 2008; so were his major-league leading 16 triples, his 101 runs scored, and his 43 walks. All of those numbers are below his averages from 2005-2008, when he was age 22 to age 25. That's partly because he averaged 158 games a year over those four seasons, and no one's expecting that again.
Still, Reyes certainly isn't anywhere Sizemore yet. He hasn't slowed much: his Speed Score (measured by looking at his stolen base attempts, triples, and ability to score while in scoring position) was 8.4 last year, actually higher than the 8.1 he posted in 2008. But according to advanced stats, his glove doesn't appear to be what it used to be. Whereas he used to be a solidly above-average defender, according to most measures, in 2010 and 2011 he was either average or well below-average. Considering that he's 28, and defense is usually the first skill to go, it's likely that he'll never have the glove he once did.
Worse, his walk rate was down to 7.3 percent last year. When Reyes came up to the majors as a free-swinging 20-year old rookie, his walk rate was an awful 4.5 percent in 2003 and a horrific 2.2 percent in 2004. His leap to superstardom occurred in 2006, when he managed to double his walk rate to 7.5 percent, and raised it again to 10.1 percent in 2007. It does not bode well for the future that his walk rate has backslid so precipitously.
His batting average last year was naturally helped by a career-high .353 Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP). Because of his speed and propensity to hit line drives, Reyes has a rather high career BABIP, .314. But he beat that by 39 points last year, and so, unsurprisingly, his batting average was 45 points higher than his career average. That is likely to come back down to earth. On the other hand, with his .292 career average, he's within spitting distance of hitting .300 again — and if he gets lucky a second year in a row, he could certainly contend for another batting title. Much will depend on how hitter-friendly the new Marlins Ballpark turns out to be, and we'll learn that as we watch this year.
The Forecast for 2012: It's impossible to know how healthy Reyes will be. A healthy Reyes will still be a great player. But his slipping defense and walk rates indicate that his best years may already be behind him. And his balky legs could take him off the field at any given time.
The leading projection systems are remarkably similar in their outlook for him. The only real difference is the number of games they think he'll play. ZiPS projects .302/.353/.471 with 118 games played, the Bill James Handbook says .303/.358/.447 with 133 games played, and CAIRO sees .303/.355/.457 with 91 games played.
In order to qualify for the batting title, Reyes will need to accrue 3.1 at-bats for each team game, meaning 502 at-bats in all. In practice, because Reyes averages around 4.25 at-bats per game (4.24 for his career, 4.26 over the past four seasons), that means that he needs to play 118 games. Even considering his leg problems, it's very likely that he'll hit that target, and everyone is predicting that he'll hit .300: I think that the systems' projection of numbers around .300/.350/.450 are very likely. So he'll almost certainly have the number of at-bats necessary to contend for another batting title, and if he gets hot in the summer, he might be able to seriously challenge for it once more.
But I doubt it.

Dr. Kim was awarded a two-year grant (2012-2014) for the following project from Uniting Against Lung Cancer.
Identification of novel fusion genes and tumor-specific isoforms in triple- or quadruple-negative lung adenocarcinoma patients
Technical Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the U.S. and world-wide, causing approximately 157,300 American deaths in 2010, more than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined. While genetic susceptibility genes have been identified in lung cancer patients that have strong associations with many clinical outcomes, there have been no major breakthroughs in lung cancer therapeutics in the area of targeted personalized medicine.
We have developed a fast and robust mutation assay to screen most frequently mutated genes and applied to a total of 192 lung adenocarcinoma (AD) patients. With this new assay screening, we have identified 102 triple- (EGFR, K-ras, and EML4-ALK fusion) and 78 quadruple- (triple plus TP53) negative lung AD patients. There is no currently effective treatment for these triple- or quadruple-negative (wild-type) patients. The triple-negative concept has been emphasized in breast cancer. This type of breast cancer is known to be more aggressive, non-responsive to receptor targeted treatment, and prone to later recurrence.
The clinical differences between patients with triple- or quadruple-negative lung AD and those with previously identified mutations are not clear yet. A preliminary study was done with 141 normal and matched lung ADs, in addition to 68 pairs of lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 24 malignant mesotheliomas (MM) using Affymetrix microarray with probes in each human coding exons. This microarray analysis can suggest both splicing isoforms and potential fusion genes by the 'breakpoint' analysis.
We identified 22 unknown fusion and 12 tumor-specific isoform candidates in AD patients. We aim to validate these 22 novel fusion candidate genes using the next generation sequencing (NGS) and 5'-RACE (Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends) approaches in this proposal. Inhibitors of some of these fusion candidates are under clinical trials in other diseases. The validation of these markers can support an initiation of a new clinical trial with the currently available inhibitors in patients with the fusion. The success of this proposal would provide a new therapeutic and diagnostic paradigm to patients with triple- or quadruple-negative lung AD patients.

Studies on the potential role of different energy sources in the 21st century
The paper describes studies on long-term energy development using the 10-region World Energy Model. Several scenarios of external conditions for energy development are considered. Special attention is paid to the influence of constraints on CO2 emissions and moratorium on nuclear energy use. Terms of depletion of cheap non-renewable energy resources and introduction of synthetic fuels as well as the potential role of nuclear energy (including breeders), power from space and other renewables are investigated. The period till the year 2100 is considered and certain methodological innovations are proposed.

From the studio that brought you four Transformers movies comes more Transformers movies: EW has confirmed a Deadline report that Paramount is aggressively Marvel-izing their beloved franchise about robot-alien cars and the fleshy human bloodbags who talk up towards them. Akiva Goldsman has already been working on expanding the Transformers universe, and now he's apparently brought together a writing braintrust.
The reported hires are: Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead; Matt Holloway and Art Marcum, the screenwriting team who worked on the first Iron Man and the best Punisher movie; Fringe co-showrunner Jeff Pinkner; and Zak Penn, whose long history with superhero movies includes credits on X-Men 2, X-Men 3, The Incredible Hulk, and The Avengers.
It's unclear precisely how many different spinoffs and sequels are being planned right now. But fans of the various Transformers cartoons and comic books know that the four films directed by Michael Bay have remarkably only scratched the surface of Transformers mythology. We haven't even gotten to Unicron yet!

As any overclocker knows, raising the voltage makes chips run faster. The CPU vendors already test and ship their CPUs to run at the highest possible voltage in order to yield the high-end clock rates. The overclocking crowd cranks up the voltage even higher while putting extra effort into keeping the chips cool.
By now, most ExtremeTech readers recognize that dynamic power consumption has a linear relationship with frequency, but a nonlinear, squared relationship with voltage. However, the impact of voltage gets worse when you consider static power consumption, which is almost entirely caused by transistor current leakage. A higher voltage exacerbates current leakage in the transistors, and the leakage power relationship to voltage is a higher-order polynomial. A simplified view of the full power equation is as follows:
Power = C V2 f + g1 V3 + g2 V5
where C is capacitance, V is the voltage, and f is operating frequency. The g1 term is a parameter representing the sub-threshold leakage, and g2 represents the gate leakage.
This equation doesn't even consider reverse-junction BTBT leakage or other leakage sources that are emerging as designers try to keep those electrons where they belong. The effect of leakage has changed all the rules for the speed benefits of voltage scaling. It's now obvious that power dissipation quickly rises to reach the limit of the package and cooling solution. You can continue to increase voltage to run the processor a lot faster, but you wouldn't be able to cool it. Continued…

8 Primary Schools in England In Great Britain school begins at the age of four or five. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of sixteen. In England the school year begins in September, but not always on the first day of the month, as school rarely begins on Monday. The English think that Monday is not a good day to start school. Classes usually begin at nine. They have classes 5 days a week. They have classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Pupils have a break at 10:30. At one oclock they have lunch. Classes are over at about four oclock. Schools in England have names, not numbers. At the age of four or five, primary school children go to infant schools where they spend 3 years till they are seven. Their classes are quite informal. They play different games, run and jump. They sing songs, act and play a lot. They begin how to read, count, write a little too. When children are seven they go to junior schools, where they spend 4 years till they are eleven. Junior schools are real schools. Their subjects are: English, Maths, History, Nature Study, Geography, Art, Music. So in England children spend seven years in primary school.
9 Say whether the statements are true or false In Great Britain school begins at the age of four or five. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of fourteen. The English think that Monday is a good day to start school. Schools in England have numbers. When children are seven they go to infant schools.
10 Complete the sentences In Great Britain school begins… Many boys and girls usually.... Classes usually begin…. They have classes…. At one oclock … Classes are over … At the age of four or five … They play different… When children are seven they go… Their subjects are… So in England children spend….

Arduino Serial Communication
This plugin is a basic example to communicate with an arduino board by serial connection.
This example shows how to control an arduino board connected by usb interface in order to switch on/off a led. The code is very simple but it's a base from which to create more complex plugin using serial protocol. It uses our Serial framework (based on RXTX project) so read this tutorial for more info.
NB: The last available code version (5.6) is based on a new serial framework. It's compatible only with the last dailybuild and requires Java 1.7+.
To configure the plugin open arduinousb-manifest.xml in its folder and change the following properties. By default you need to change only port name and set the one you are in use.
- serial.port: port name e.g. /dev/ttyACM0 for Linux or COMx for Windows
- serial.baudrate: baudrate of arduino serial port (the same set in the sketch)
- serial.databits: databits of arduino serial port
- serial.parity: parity bit of arduino serial port
- serial.stopbits: stop bit of arduino serial port
- chunk.terminator: read serial string terminator (by default "
" as "\n")
- chunk.size: size of chunk to read from serial
- delimiter: fields delimiter in read string
Source code
The plugin source code is hosted here.
Arduino sketch
The following sketch must be uploaded to your arduino board. It's very simple: when it receives a char 'a' from serial connection it switch on the led connected to pin 13. Viceversa with 'b' char the led is switched off. Every command writes a string on serial.
void setup(){ Serial.begin(9600); //Set all the pins we need to output pins pinMode(13, OUTPUT); } void loop (){ if (Serial.available()) { //read serial as a character char ser = Serial.read(); //NOTE because the serial is read as "char" and not "int", the read value must be compared to character numbers //hence the quotes around the numbers in the case statement switch (ser) { case 'a': pinON(13); Serial.println("13;on"); break; case 'b': pinOFF(13); Serial.println("13;off"); break; } } } void pinON(int pin){ digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); } void pinOFF(int pin){ digitalWrite(pin, LOW); }
For support please write on our forum.

A quick rundown if you insist:
The empowering idea behind our new website was a single uninterrupted experience. You shouldn't have to click around to learn who we are and we don't want you to have to dig around to find whatever it is that you want.

Today's guest post comes from Minor League University (MLU) and Scotty Smalls. Smalls is a professional baseball player currently playing in the Minor Leagues. He is the creator of MLU, a baseball blog that takes you inside college and professional clubhouses to get a feel for what a life in baseball is all about. MLU shares stories and gives commentaries on the game, certain trends, particular players, and how baseball's place in entertainment is viewed by actual ballplayers. Follow his site by visiting him at minorleagueuniversity.blogspot.com.
One more day. After months of being asked when I would head to Spring Training, I had developed a signature response: "Not til early March." The expression was in the holster at all times, cocked and loaded, ready to be fired back at anyone who asked the popular question.
I said it so many times that the phrase had lost all meaning. It was a concept that always seemed so distant and irrelevant at the moment. Although I was training on a daily basis, I had grown accustomed to my off-season life – baseball was on the back burner.
But today, as I began cleaning out my apartment and saying goodbye to friends, it hit me. It had quickly become "Early March," and I was a mere twenty-four hours away from the beginning stages of the 2011 season. Baseball was near. One more day.
With that realization, my mind naturally began to wander: Am I ready? Did I do enough during the off-season? What level will I start at? What team will my friends start on?
As I go through this laundry list of anxiety-filled questions, I remind myself: "Baseball is fun." All of these worries will be answered in time, but there's nothing I can do about them right now as I clean my apartment bathroom thousands of miles away. In a game that's famously played mostly "above the shoulders," I must vanquish these doubts and negative thoughts and focus on the excitement of Spring Training.
Sunshine, laughter, baseball. These three things have come to define Spring Training and collectively serve as the main source of jealousy when I tell people of my destination. In the eyes of baseball fans, there are few things more laid back and enjoyable than a Spring Training game. The joy is contagious, as the entire baseball community has once again sprung to life with the start of a fresh season. It's a magical month. What's there to worry about?
As the snow melts and Baseball Tonight returns to the ESPN daily lineup, I can't help but get excited for the upcoming season. I've grown up watching this game, and now I have a chance to rub elbows with some of the best players in the world and play in a first class facility – life is good.
My love for baseball has been a constant my entire life, and my excitement for Spring Training only grows with each mention of the game that I hear, but I must admit, it's somewhat of a tentative excitement.
As I head West for Spring Training, I'm all too aware that my departure marks the beginning of a six month period away from friends and loved ones – a time when I must leave the familiar faces of those with whom I spent the entire off-season. Hugs and dinners will be exchanged for phone calls and emails, always unsure of when you will see each other next. It's a sad day leaving your family and friends – your life – behind to chase a dream, but it's their support of your passion and your desire to make them proud that allows you to board that plane with excitement, not regret.
So it's with a love for baseball and an anticipation of a great season ahead that I head to Arizona. I have lifted weights, run sprints, thrown long toss, and taken batting practice all off-season. Now it's time to play some ball.
Now, I just have to figure out how to get my entire life into this suitcase.

Talk to National Council of Women Tasmania Inc
Today at lunchtime, in the offices of the Hon. Andrew Wilkie here in Hobart, I spoke to members of the National Council of Women Tasmania (NCWT) on my background and new role as a lawyer and integrity/justice consultant. I also told them of my recent work in the Sue Neill-Fraser case and asked them for their support in informing the community and agitating for an independent review of the case, through a variety of mechanisms. The motto of the group is appropriately:
The big day has finally arrived. Today sees the World Premiere of the Eve Ash documentary Shadow of Doubt on Foxtel ci tonight at 7.30 pm and at the State Cinema here in Hobart at 8.30 pm. We have a range of important VIP guests attending the event here in Hobart. You should also tune in to A Current Affair tonight at 6.30 pm on Channel 9, for coverage of the Sue Neill-Fraser case. About to jump in my car and head off to Risdon Prison to update Sue on developments.
Carpet Squares, Blood and Forensics in the Sue Neill-Fraser case
My previous blogs have indicated what I perceive to be possible issues in relation to the Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) issues in the Sue Neill-Fraser case, from a layman's perspective. I certainly do not profess to be an expert in this area, but a critical analysis of the expert evidence at trial and the forensic reports provided throws up potentially concerning matters, particularly as to whether some of the patterns detected might be attributed to a cough or a sneeze during a nosebleed (Bob Chappell had to be hospitalised in December 2008 in Queensland for his nosebleeds which occurred on the yacht) and the luminol testing of the dinghy and the interpretation and presentation of the results.
The Broken US Justice System - Part 6 - Junk Science Forensics
Locke in his article on the broken US Justice system also covers "junk" forensic science. He refers to data from the US Innocence Project which shows that from the 225 DNA exonerations studied, 52% of those involved "unvalidated or improper forensics". Data from the National Registry of Exonerations for 873 cases places this number at 24%. Locke prefers to refer to forensic "technology" as he refuses to call it a "science". He says that the ONLY forensic technology that has a truly scientific foundation is DNA analysis. And the only forensic technology that can make a statistically valid identification of a single individual is nuclear DNA analysis (as opposed to mitochondrial DNA analysis). He states:
The Broken US Justice System - Part 5 - Juries
The Locke article referred to in blog postings over the last few days, also covers the issues of Juries. Locke says that juries "scare me to death". He comments:
The Broken US Justice System - Part 4 - Police
Today I am covering Point 4 of Locke's article "Why I Think the US Justice System is Broken - and Why It's Not Getting Fixed" from the US wrongful convictions blog of 20 February 2013. My blog postings for 27, 28 and 29 July 2013 cover the earlier parts/points.
The Broken US Justice System - Part 3 - Judges
Further to my previous blog postings of 27 and 28 July 2013, today I cover the issue of Judges and their possible contribution to Miscarriages of Justice according to Locke. Once again, it needs to be kept in mind that in the US, judges, like prosecutors, are an elected political position. Locke states that his experience tells him that judicial misconduct is rare but that judicial bias may not be. He states that when judges do "go wrong", the impacts can be "staggering". He says that there are few more serious threats to individual liberty than a "corrupt" judge. We are very fortunate here in Australia and judges go out of their way to ensure integrity, independence and impartiality.
Why the US Criminal Justice System is Broken - Continued
Following on from my blog of 27 July 2013 in relation to an excellent article by Phil Locke about the US criminal justice system, I will today cover point 2 in his article - Prosecutors.
Petition for Mercy in WA Challenges DNA Forensic Evidence
Very interesting article in The West Australian in the last day or so about the submission of a Petition for Mercy to the WA Attorney-General seeking referral of the Robin Macartney 2001 conviction for murder back to the courts in relation to the 1999 murder of 27 year old Lalita Horsman at Greenough beach. See http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/18165461/greenough-killer-seeks-appeal/. The High Court had previously dismissed his application to challenge his conviction.
Why the US Justice System is Broken - and Why it's Not Getting Fixed!
Excellent article on the haphazard nature of justice in the US and how it might be fixed. See http://wrongfulconvictionsblog.org/2013/02/20/why-i-think-the-us-justice-system-is-broken-and-why-its-not-getting-fixed/ (which I found on Bob Moles' excellent Networked Knowledge website).

Scheuermann's Disease (hunchback)
Filed under: Case of the month, Cases, Spinewave Bulletin, Symptoms
I heard about Dr Neil from a friend and my immediate response was: forget it, I've had enough of chiropractors – Peter.
Scheuermann's, or "hunchback", is a developmental disease found in adolescents where spinal vertebrae become wedge-shaped rather than rectangular. The wedge-shaped vertebrae don't stack straight and start to curve forward. The disorder is named after Dr Scheuermann of Denmark, who first recognised it.
Nowadays people create their own version of Scheuermann's Disease by hunching over computers, constantly playing with iPhones, or poor posture in general. This not only affects the shape and nature of the spine, but severely impacts the function of a very important part of the nervous system: the sympathetic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is also commonly known as the fight/flight system, associated with increased heart rate and adrenalin during emergencies. What is more commonly unknown though is that a thoracic spine which is not working properly, hunched over or "stuck" in certain places, is constantly activating the sympathetic nervous system in a manner one cannot feel.
An overactive sympathetic nervous system can cause hypersensitivities, allergies, anxiety, fatigue, depression or irritable bowel. It's like the body is in a chronic state of emergency, without an emergency actually occurring.
An obvious way to recognise a "runaway" sympathetic nervous system is blanching of the skin when depressed by fingers (right), redness, pimples, eczema or dermatitis. Blood vessels become flushed when the sympathetic nervous system is firing and this can be measured with thermographic technology to assess where potential disturbances are in the spine.
Midback pain is also a key indicator the thoracic spine is not working properly and probably activating the sympathetic nervous system. Problems in the thoracic spine can not only cause back pain, but also be a trigger of migraines, stiff neck and gut problems, i.e. constipation, gas, bloating or indigestion.
The following images are a separate case example of long-standing, chronic midback pain activating the sympathetic nervous system in a 31 year old female. Note the butterfly-shaped redness in the centre of the spine, and its resolution following 3 months of chiropractic care, demonstrating a much healthier nervous system.
I was born with Scheuermann's Disease and developed a side curvature in my spine later in life. I suffer osteoarthritis in the neck from repeated trauma with two vertebrae almost fused. That combined with one leg being shorter than the other made for a lot of pain over a lifetime. Saying that however, I have always been athletic in a number of disciplines like Tae Kwon Do and body building.
A decade or so ago I started wearing a heel lift, because the chiropractor I saw at the time prescribed it as a means to deal with the misalignment of my spine, and it worked – for a while. A few months ago I was back in so much pain and frustrated that I wanted to stop using it. At that time I heard about Dr Neil from a friend and my immediate response was: forget it, I've had enough of chiropractors. But meeting Neil through a friend I felt this guy is different; a new breed of chiro-attitude, and went to see him – skeptical, but nonetheless curious.
A few months later and not only have I thrown away my wedge, but am back in the gym pumping iron: doing dead-lifts, squats and big back exercises. There is still a little pain, but the increase in well-being and stabilisation of neck and core through Dr Neil's work is quite remarkable.
One of the most beautiful moments I had was when Neil "toggled" me a few weeks ago. I remembered a long forgotten spiritual experience and it was a big release for me. Thanks Neil, you are a truly gifted healer, and with Pip at reception: a great team who make patients feel at ease.

If anyone follows me on Goodreads, they'll notice I've been quite lax recently and not posted any reviews of books I've recently read which is unlike me so it's time to play catch up.
I've never read any Jeeves & Wooster books before, or anything by P.G. Wodehouse and I've long thought this is a gap in my reading landscape which needed correcting. So I did my research and discovered that 'Thank You Jeeves' is the first full length Jeeves & Wooster novel published, so opted for that one. There'd been lots of short stories written before, but bypassed them for now as I tend to prefer novels.
'Thank You Jeeves' starts off with Wooster annoying the hell out of everyone with his latest obsession of playing the banjo. He gets told to leave his apartment as he is regularly disturbing the neighbours, and much worse, his butler Jeeves hands in his notice as he can't stand the banjo playing either. Wooster thinks he'll manage fine without Jeeves, but is soon more in need of him that ever when his former fiance suddenly reappears in his life, and a series of scrapes and mix ups ensue.
I enjoyed my first foray into Jeeves & Wooster. The inevitable disasters which befall Wooster are comical, even a bit farcical, as are some of the ways he manages to get out of them, usually with Jeeves help (even though Jeeves isn't in his employ for much of the book). I got on with it a lot better than I do with most 'comic fiction'. Wodehouse writes really well, never quite falling into the downright silly category, and there is good description and setting, interesting characters and a plot that mostly hangs together okay. My only criticism of it was that perhaps it was a little bit long. Now it isn't a long book by most standards, less than 300 pages, but there were a couple two many plot twists and the joke was starting to wear slightly thin in places. I always find comedic fiction feels a little longer than other books as the plot doesn't carry the reader through in the same way, maybe that's just me.
So the slight length issue aside, I really enjoyed this. I will definitely read more Jeeves & Wooster, possibly by reading some of the short story collections. I can see why Wodehouse wrote so many, as Jeeves & Wooster probably suit this length of story best.

October 21st, 2007 – by: lauro
we didnt took the same route going back, instead we went down from cliffs to the harbor, the blast of strong winds hit my face, it was cold. mikael and me discussed if ever he was going to live here and he said no, its too cold and desolate in winter, but i told him, if i was given a chance, i would definitely live here in kåseberga, the place really touched me, specially ale stenar.
back in the car, we got hungry and ate the last bread. mikael started to drive back towards malmö and inside me, i said goodbye to ale stenar. i feel, i would never go back to this place again.
we didn't used the road in the coast, mikael drove the car in the highway, it was two perspectives for me, because in the beginning we drove through the coast which was so adventurous but now, the drive was quiet in the smooth and fast road.
it gave me time to contemplate on so so so so so many things in life specially in travelling. in the begining, i thought travelling was.. just for fun, discovering and experiencing new things, taking pictures, some informations then thats it. but now, it gave a different meaning, because, i think the heavens wanted me to see this, there were no absolutely no people around ale stenar, it was almost devoid of life, that i had all the stones to myself, the sky was also amazing, the strong and icy winds, it brought me to another dimension.
mikael is the most polite person in the face of the earth, as he didnt even interrupted me in my deep thoughts, he just continued driving into the farmlands of skåne län. rolling hills, green grass, mid-autumn setting, fiery leaves - it seems it just came out of an impressionist's painting. i fell in love with sweden, it was love at first sight.
i was conjured by everything, i didnt know that were back in malmö. mikael parked the car in front of his house. then we walked, the light was fading already, and suddenly i realized, i am getting weak as i didnt had eaten much and i couldnt stand not eating rice for 2 days or anything asian noodles.
so mikael led me to an asian - thai, but i know i couldnt eat it, as i dont eat thai. but i dont want to be rude to mikael, there's always a first time, so why not? when we brought it back to house, the first bite was - was no. hahahahaha, i couldnt eat it. mikael looked worried, but i didnt reacted, i just asked him to accompany me to get withdraw money, so we went out of the house and walked went into some kind of shopping mall, then i saw mcdonalds - again and asked mikael to come with me. hahahaha. when i went inside mcdonalds, my god! the people are all as twice as taller than me! hahahahaha swedes are tall! theyre like posts! but elegant.
so i got 2 chicken burgers and 2 apple pies, went back to mikael's house. then i remembered i had dvds with me, and we decided to watch dvds. the problem was i have so many collection of artfilms in different languages, but with only german as sub titles. so mikael cant understand it. so we decided to watch "the perfume" at least its in english, hahaha.
i finished the junkfood while watching the movie, then mikael was also tired. we said good night to each other and tomorrow, i would go back to copenhagen but first mikael and me would tour malmö in the morning till afternoon.
as i tossed and turned, i couldnt sleep, i looked again at the pictures i made, and of ale stenar. it was so beautiful beyond words. i just could feel that i was still there. i was in a place where time stood still, in which the ancient rituals took place, of which time is measured by sunrises and sunset, an echo from the dead world.
like what i said, i know i wuld never visit this place soon, for sure i will be back again, but for another 10 years, i dont want to tarnish the beautigul memories it brought to me.
it left me a mark on me, like a love heart carved on a tree.
