A Colorado man sentenced to more than 300 years in prison for sexually molesting six children has now been freed on a technicality.
Michael McFadden was sentenced in 2015 to serve more than three centuries behind bars after being convicted of 19 counts of sexual offenses against children, KJCT reports.
McFadden, 46, was released from prison on Tuesday after the Colorado Court of Appeals overturned his conviction.
He cannot be retried on those charges.
"I am completely appalled at this decision," Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein told the outlet, "I think the criminal justice system completely failed here."
Many parents of McFadden's victims are devastated over the decision, with their children now living in fear, KREX reports.
"Several voicemails from mothers of victims who legitimately are fearful for their children and their children's safety," said Kathi Raley, Victim Assistance Coordinator at the District Attorney's Office.
The court overturned McFadden's conviction because they determined his right to a speedy trial was violated, reports say.
This all has to do with a jury questionnaire from before the trial itself even started.
While preparing for jury selection, the defense team submitted a questionnaire that addressed McFadden's prior illegal sexual conduct and whether jurors could be fair to him while considering those prior cases, KJCT reports.
Rubinstein says the judge did not even look at the questionnaire until halfway through jury selection.
When he finally did see it, he realized jurors should not have been given details of the prior cases yet, and as a result McFadden could not get a fair trial.
The judge, hoping to just delay a short time, authorized a continuance to push the case back so that the questionnaire could be addressed.
The defense objected, saying they had a right to a speedy trial, which in Colorado is within six months of arrest. After two prior continuances, the state was up against the clock.
The judge authorized the continuance
It was that ruling that led the court of appeals to overturn McFadden's conviction.
"Because the error here was that he shouldn't have been tried longer than 6 months from the last time he waived speedy trial, there was no remedy for that and therefore there is no ability to retry him," said Rubinstein.
The district attorney's office appealed the courts' decision to overturn the conviction, but that was denied.
McFadden does not have to register as a sex offender. His prior sex offenses were before the sex offender registry was created, so they do not apply, the outlet reports.
His current whereabouts are unknown at this time.

Our last journal entry was about a hot afternoon in New Bagan, Myanmar. Since that day we have crossed borders and oceans and visited five different countries. Each one opened up to us. Each offered different experiences.
In Bangkok we lived in a modern high-rise apartment, from which we could survey the sprawling urban jungle. One night, during a storm, lightning sprouted from a cloud just feet away from our window. On to Malaysia where we stayed on a dock, surrounded by a hundred year old Chinese community, with sea snakes and crabs slithering and skittering just below our bedroom floor. Then in Turkey, our wanderings led us to a tiny village in the mountains. We ate fresh chickpeas roasted on coals, surrounded by the sounds and smells of goats and cows. In France we harvested the esteemed Pinot Noir grapes of Burgundy and drank vintages older than we are. Friuli, a small region tucked into the northeastern extremity of Italy, taught us about the importance of peasant food, humble wine and cultural exchange.
When we return to The States our friends and family will ask, "What did you learn?" That's the question I'm wrestling with right now. And honestly, it's too big for a casual conversation or even for this one piece of writing. This experience has been a story fit for a book, which we will eventually write. But, there is one thing without which we would have learned much less.
Hospitality from strangers and friends alike welcomed us to new experiences. It was sometimes an invitation into a kitchen to learn recipes first hand, as at Nahm in Bangkok. In Friuli, at La Subida it was a beckoning to sit down and taste the local food and wine. Süleyman, without speaking a word of English, invited us to his home village in Turkey. There, under the starlight he used only the most primal seasonings, open fire and salt to prepare an amazing dinner for us. We owe so many adventures and so much knowledge to those that welcomed us into their lives.
We are back in Istanbul appreciating a new season of Turkish cooking and writing as much as possible (look for some new pieces!). In a few weeks, we will visit Barcelona. Eventually, we will return to The States to continue our work in a new way. We will become the sharers, the givers of hospitality. And as we walk our path, we acknowledge the beauty we have had the privilege to experience. Thank you. Thank you to the billions of people who are kind, who make this world a more hospitable place. You are the ones that make our steps worth taking.
Coming and Going

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Review: A New Hope With the Old Force
A search for Luke Skywalker, a disaffected Stormtrooper and a new heroine are among the elements—from nostalgic favorites to potent surprises—that await audiences in the J.J. Abrams-directed 'Star Wars'
So much for deadly prequels. "Star Wars" is once again in sequel mode—it's been so long since the original cast has been on screen that this one could be called a postquel—and the franchise has roared back with full force.
Disney, the new proprietor, and J.J. Abrams, the director, haven't diluted the appeal of this space opera for the ages. Far from it, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" flatters old and new audiences alike, and straddles generations with aplomb. "You're Han Solo?" asks the startled young heroine, Rey, after...

Sumo Loser/
My robot doing what it does best: running away.
For the last couple of days I've been working away on my Sumo robot. I got the kit on Monday and tonight we had the finals. The robots are really neat. You can program them using C# and they are powered by the rinky dink .NET Micro Framework. I wasn't sure about winning on the performance front, so I thought I'd go for style. A moving graphical display looked like it might hit the spot and so I got one and strapped it on the top of my competitor.
Turned out that style was the only point on which I had any chance of scoring. In the competition my robot did something that it had never done in the many seconds of intensive testing that I did before the event. It developed a taste for just piling out of the circle as quickly as possible. Perhaps it was obeying some higher "survival" programming which I was unaware of. At any rate it meant that for me, the game was over very quickly. It is perhaps just as well, some of the competitors looked to be deeply scary, pouncing on their prey and forcing them out of the ring.
The good news is that I got together with a bunch of fellow "second placers" and we set up a kind of "off piste" fighting arena where we just turned them loose. This was great fun to watch, even though my robot never actually won anything, it did manage to lose with a certain style…..

Note to governments worldwide: if you want to freak out every expat living within your borders, turn off all mobile phone networks and cut off all Internet access. Hey, it worked in Egypt and it could for you too.
I never knew how much I relied on these two relatively insignificant things to keep me *plugged in* to the rest of the world.
Friday morning we woke up to a very normal feeling day. Everyone knew that protests were being scheduled after Friday prayers (which ends around 1:00PM Cairo time). Usually we're up earlier and off to the international church around 9:30AM but I forgot to set my alarm so we got up a bit later and went out for breakfast.
Cairo is always a quiet city early on a Friday morning and this Friday was no different. The streets are mostly empty (as in fewer cars that don't have to stop because of traffic, we're still talking about a mega-city of approximately 20 million people here).
First thing on Friday I noticed that the service for my mobile phone was down. It surprised me, and I thought at first there was a problem with my phone.
So I called for my husband. His phone's service was down too.
Then we pulled out another mobile phone (I think we have them coming out of our ears in our house) with a line for another mobile company to see if it was working.
It was not.
I tend to think worst-case scenarios here. I don't know if it's the result of being married to an insurance guy for over 5 years or just my own life experience so far of how often Murphy's law comes into play when you live in a foreign country.
The questions started running around in my mind. What happened if I got separated from my husband? What happened if his mother (who lives across town) needed something? What about hospitals, what if there was an emergency and we needed to go to the hospital, how could we reach them?
Let me just interrupt to say that landlines stayed working through all of this.
But, seriously, who uses an actual phone these days?! Certainly not in Egypt. Even the poorest of the poor somehow manage to have mobile phones in Egypt.
In our house I don't even bother to plug in our landline phone anymore because (and I do not exaggerate here) we got more wrong number calls to the house than we did legitimate calls looking for us. I think the only people who know our landline number are the delivery guys from Papa John's, McDonald's and Peking.
So like I said we went out for breakfast but we were on our way home long before prayer time was over.
We all knew something was coming. We just didn't know how far and how long it would last. Protests (of any kind) plus the Egyptian police never equals a very safe environment for everyone. And with the Muslim Brotherhood announcing on Thursday that after officially sitting out of Tuesday's Jan. 25 scheduled protests that they would be joining in on Friday, we knew that was NOT a good thing.
So protests plus the Egyptian police PLUS the Muslim brotherhood had the potential to be a very volatile situation.
And after protests in downtown Cairo on Tuesday had gotten out of hand and had spread to other neighborhoods on Wednesday, we had no way of knowing how close the situation would get to us.
Even as far out as we live by the Cairo airport. It's not that we live that far from downtown Cairo. In fact, on a good traffic day you can reach downtown within 20 minutes or less. But there's still a whole lot of Cairo between downtown and us.
Somehow during the course of the morning we had realized that all internet service had been cut as well. Now block Facebook… block Twitter… I can live without them… at least for a little while. We can go retro here and go back to email (I'm kidding).
But cut off my access to the outside world… that's a WHOLE different situation.
As I write this from our hotel room in Cyprus tonight internet access in Egypt is still down. There have been various rumors that it's been up and running. And it seems that some places like embassies (or at least the U.S. embassy) and hotels have had intermittent over the past few days.
I won't comment on the privileged few.
I'm talking about the humble masses out there without internet access here.
People like me. People who have iPhones and Blackberries that are never beyond arm's reach. Bloggers. Facebook and Twitter junkies. People who live and breathe having access to the world at their fingertips. People who actually enjoy the information overload of the Internet.
I wear this badge proudly.
Because I could've cared less at this point what was going on downtown. All I was thinking is when this began to hit the news (which got turned on in our house the minute we stepped in the door after getting home from breakfast Friday morning and didn't get turned off for about 48 hours), what is my family going to think? How was I going to get word to them that we're okay? Would my mother have another mild heart attack wondering and worrying where we are and how we're doing?
While the world was busy watching the events going on in downtown Cairo, the truth is that most of us here were just sitting at home waiting.
We were more worried about the basics. Did we have enough food? Were we safe? Were our families safe? Were our neighborhoods safe?
Because after the Egyptian police were pulled off the streets last Friday, homes and businesses were put in danger. Poor people from across Cairo as well as criminals taking advantage of the situation ransacked malls and businesses, carrying off anything and everything that wasn't nailed to the floor.
It's a pretty scary situation sitting at home knowing that you are helpless to control the situation.
I have never been scared in Egypt before. Never felt nervous about being in the streets. Never thought anything would or could happen to us or our home here.
Not that we were ever in any real danger. The part of Cairo where we live isn't exactly in the thick of things downtown. But the unknown can still be a scary thing.
Nobody knew what could happen. Nobody knew how much could happen. And nobody knew when it would end.
But when news hit our neighborhood of looters at the edge of our part of town and my husband went down with all the other men of the building to stand guard in the street with a shovel in his hand, I must say I was worried.
Just a little bit.
It was interesting to see how something like this could bring together a community. We've lived in our building for five years now and although we know our neighbors, this was the first time we'd really interacted with them.
And it wasn't just the people in our building.
It was the first time I'd spoken to our neighbors on their balcony in the building beside us. I'd seen them out on their balcony numerous times and was shy to speak to them. I respected their space, and they respected ours.
But this gave us something to talk about. Because who else were you going to talk to?
At this point even our mobile phones were still off. The only way we were getting our news was through the international news we were getting via satellite… and the rumors that drifted through the streets from building to building.
I think we'll see in weeks, months, and even years to come how these days of coming together to defend our streets and homes will create a long-lasting bond in our neighborhood. I'm sure this will be true across Cairo and perhaps across the country of Egypt.
Because just like in any other country around the world, when ordinary people step up to do their duty to protect their homes and families, you see a strength of character and spirit of camaraderie unlike any other.
It made me feel safer knowing that the men who lived in our neighborhood were stepping up to keep it safe. We came home from the airport only to get stopped by 10 separate neighborhood checkpoints.
It didn't matter if you were rich or poor, Christian or Muslim.
This was about something bigger. These are our homes. These are our families.
If the government chose to turn a blind eye to the damage and destruction being caused by looters across the city, the men in our communities were stepping up to to fill the void.
I have never been prouder of my adopted country.

I've been wielding a camera for the last decade. I find it's one of the most incredibly rewarding creative pursuits I've ever had (second only to learning to cook, obviously. Because homies gotta eat, amiright?)
Speaking of eating, food and drink photography is my biggest passion, but I'm also well versed in capturing couples, families and super unwieldy yet totally adorable children.
If you're in need of photos, for anything from your latest product to your newest family member, I got you. Just get in touch.
I spent the last eight or so years learning how to cook, and subsequently learning how photograph food for my blog.
I love working with restaurants, other bloggers, writers, and cooks of all persuasions.
Especially if I get to eat the food after.
Beverage photography, much like a good cocktail, is a careful combination of variables.
I love all the aspects of drink photography, from careful ingredient selection, to prop styling, to capturing movement as the booze hits the glass.
I love to work with beverage brands, mixologists, bars and restaurants to showcase their best goods in a glass.
I also haven't met a sunset I didn't like.
I also love moody cats, unexpected pets and the ever elusive hummingbird.

In the last episode, the unit releasing a man who was convicted a crime that he didn't commit. But when another rape occurs that is similar, he becomes the number one suspect. The show quickly unravels as they have the argue the situation of what happens when people go into jail and how when they leave they have a hard time adjusting back into civilization. It was because he had a hard time with the fact that he was assaulted over and over again.
The show, titled 'Imposter', a man is accused of rape after lying to a woman about to get her in his bed. On the surface it's one of those, pretty much everyone does that when they want to get with the other person, but this person takes it to a whole new level. When you see their relationship at the beginning, you see that she verbally consents but the issues lie with what happened in between.
Laura has a lot of skeletons in her closet and it looks like they are all going to come out. The number one suspect is also the outcry witness. It gets more interesting when we find out that the man who is pressuring her to have her son Justin to go to Hudson. And then dun…dun…dunnnn he's really not the admission director at Hudson.
Insert the lying part of the game.
The man is using the name to try and make his way into the bed with parents who are trying to get their kids into Hudson. Fin brings up a lot of a good point and that everyone lies to have sex. But the difference is, is that this man was using the power of someone else to have sex with these women.
They are able to find the man, whose name is Tom, and get this, he works in security. As if Hudson didn't have enough stuff going on there. They catch Tom trying to get his next victim. Of course, he doesn't feel guilty about what he is doing. In fact, he goes so far to write a book about his conquests. Barba likes this case as to help jumpstart a bill to pass a lie about people who pretend to be someone with power in order to get sex.
During the trial, things get into the gray area really fast. Barba knows that it's going to be a long road for them because it's going to be hard to convince the jury that this is a crime, by law's standards. And it gets worse when the judge trying the case basically threatens Barba to dismiss the case. Obviously he doesn't know Barba because Barba doesn't give in to the threats and doesn't like to be told what to do.
There is another wrinkle in the plan when the defense has a witness said that the victim knew that his name was Tom. Turns out that the man that took the videos and it looks like he was only going to testify for Tom in order to avoid going to jail. With the fact that the judge was going to take the case from the jury and overturn the verdict.
You would think that it was enough for this show that the man got away with what he did, but there is a pretzel of a twist at the end as Laura's son commits suicide because of the shame and embarrassment that his mother caused her. And perhaps because of the pressure she put on him. Combo of both.
In personal news, Carisi may or may not be leaving SVU soon. He goes on an interview for the DA office in Brooklyn. Is he going to switch sides and go from the Law to the Order? Benson has problems of her own with Noah because he's having problems with his speech.
In the next episode, a superstar athlete harbors a dark secret that will threaten everything that she is.
What did you think of the show?

Full Review: Used Car Review – Ford Focus (2005-2012)
Latest vehicle profile: Ford Focus Sedan
See the different versions of This specific vehicle:
Vehicle Overview
Depending on what part of the globe you live in, the Focus replaced the Escort for European in addition to North American markets in 1998 while Asia in addition to Oceania got This specific one to replace the Laser later on. The Philippine market got This specific one in late 2005 as a successor to the Lynx line, which was first sold in 1999. Similar to its replacement, the Focus can be assembled locally in addition to can be exported to our ASEAN neighbors.
Sedan types are initially available using a 1.8 gasoline engine however later types gain a 1.6 in addition to 2.0 gasoline in addition to 2.0 diesel powerplants. All of these types accelerate fine however choosing the 2.0 types, regardless of fuel type, gives you more power on tap. Despite sharing a platform with the Mazda 3, the Focus can be heavy which gives the item a more comfortable feeling inside (at the expense of fuel economy) while being an enjoyable vehicle to drive since the item glides in addition to slides gracefully.
Inner surface-wise, the shade scheme can be a black/beige motif with touches of chrome in addition to wood except for the 1.6 Trend, which does not develop the last two. Similar with its platform-mates, the Focus also suffers via a cramped Inner surface.
What Should I Get
via 2005 until October 2008, the Focus sedan can be available in three variants starting with the basic product which can be the 1.6 Trend, made available in January 2006 that will gets the 106hp 1.6, all power features, CD player with auxiliary jack, alarm, keyless entry, ABS brakes, driver airbag, immobilizer, rear folding seat, reverse parking sensors, in addition to rear aircon vents.

Introduced in 2010 can be a diesel variation of the Ghia which gets a 134hp 2.0 diesel engine.
If you want This specific car, stick to the lower engine types since the 2.0 gas can be costly to fill up while the diesel will require you to travel more to recoup your expenses.
How Much would likely the item Cost Me
We will tell you This specific one straight: This specific vehicle features a gas guzzling (except perhaps for the diesel) nature even for the lower engine displacement types. Parts availability, despite being locally assembled, isn't that will widespread like those of the Japanese competition. Do take note of the following problem points: air-conditioning, alternator, power door locks, in addition to for the diesel, the powershift transmission.

Since the first revelation of his casting, speculation ran wild regarding which character Willem Dafoe would play in the upcoming Justice League. After his impressive turn as Green Goblin in the first Sam Raimi-helmed Spider-Man, it wouldn't have surprised anyone if his delightfully wicked turn as a Norman Osborn landed Dafoe a villainous role in the DC Extended Universe. Fortunately, at least for the sake of going against type, producers revealed early on that Dafoe would actually be playing a "good guy" this time around.
Despite their assertion of his valiant character, the possibility engines cranked into overdrive. If Dafoe wasn't playing a menace – assuming the announcement was upfront – who exactly would he play in Justice League and Aquaman?
As Justice League filming began, further hints teased that not only would Willem Dafoe's character be an ally of Aquaman., but his character would actually be an Atlantean as well. Of course, there are only a handful of Atlanteans running around Atlantis, so this hint narrowed things down dramatically. During a recent SR visit to the set, all was revealed. In the film, Dafoe will portray Nuidis Vulko.
Vulko might be familiar to long-time DC readers as an on-again off-again confederate of Aquaman. Initially launched in the late '60s (in The Brave and the Bold #73), Vulko began life as the chief scientific advisor to the throne of Atlantis. An outspoken political figure, he would sometimes rule the subterranean lands in Curry's absence. During the Bronze Age of Aquaman, the character even rebelled against Arthur Curry's rule at one point.
Later, Vulko was killed, becoming a ghost for a time before being resurrected during the retconned New 52 (Geoff Johns' time on the series). This reborn Vulko would betray Atlantis (for his own valid if petty reasons), leading to the surface-Atlantean war depicted in the Throne of Atlantis saga - something which could play a role in both upcoming films. In the long run, Vulko is somewhat vindicated, when he aids Aquaman in fighting the Dead King.
It's quite possible Dafoe's Vulko in Justice League and the Aquaman standalone will be an amalgam of the New 52 character and the Modern Age re-envisioning of the characters. In the film, Dafoe appears in a costume similar to the newer, more gladiatorial look of Aquaman and Mera – but more translucent and tattered due to time and the ravages of subaquatic life. Dafoe also sports a long silver mane and has sage, wizened quality to his character. These reports also support his role as counsel to Aquaman in the film as in the comic books.
However, in spite of his purportedly heroic role, Vulko clearly has a shady side. Whether the film version is a tried and true (if outspoken) ally to Atlantis or harbors ulterior motives remains to be seen. Dafoe's Vullko may play an important role, driving the plots of both films, seeing as Justice League is the direct precursor to Aquaman.
Suicide Squad will hit theaters on August 5, 2016, followed by Wonder Woman on June 2, 2017; Justice League on November 17, 2017; The Flash on March 16, 2018; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; an untitled DC Film on October 5, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; an untitled DC film on November 1, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.

A little encouragement for your day.
Today I met with two people, because that is part of my life. During those very real conversations, I was reminded how grateful I am to be where I'm at, I am so grateful to Jesus.
I am grateful to be in the lives of so many young girls. As I shared about my girls with two different people today, I teared up. I let one tear drop, but besides that, mostly just pooled wet eyes. I couldn't help but share encouraging stories because these girls are this generation. These girls {and guys} will speak into my kids' lives. These girls will be our governors and dentists and teachers and Jo Anne's employees and writers and church planters. These girls love Jesus. This is the real deal: we aren't playing youth group, we aren't playing Christian, we are living the Bible. I am tearing up thinking about them, friends.
Today, I shared about the girls. I got to encourage older ladies by telling real stories about younger girls who are sold out for Jesus. The 12-14 year aged girls who bring prayer requests like this to small group:
"This guy _____ in Science class is so mean. Every day he cusses and calls me names and is so insulting to the teacher. He writes bad words on the board. He makes fun of Jesus to my face. But I know that it is because he is so broken and doesn't know the love of Jesus Christ. I know that he doesnt realize how loved and valuable he is. So, I want to pray that I can have patience with him and that he would experience Jesus for real and be saved."
I sit staring at my computer screen, in awe. Every week for the last 3 years, I have witnessed these girls carry this heart.
1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
Did you know they are on fire to fight human sex slavery? I mean real life sex slavery in our neighborhoods. We had Liz from House of Engedi visit our youth group to share about it (read that post here). Since that time, we had 4 girls do research projects for their 8th grade Mock Congress on Human Trafficking. We had 3 of them represented at the Opening Celebration for House of Engedi, highlighting their goals and dreams in comparison to a victim of human slavery. We had 4 of them play a part in the House's informational video, which I will post when it comes out. These girls get angry, I mean fiery angry and broken and filled with a passion to DO SOMETHING in the name of Jesus Christ to fight for these victims. These girls know how valuable they themselves are, they walk in the light of Jesus every day, facing the struggles of Middle and High School. They want to share this same light and grace with the victims of the darkest of darknesses: sex slavery. These girls are world changers. They're heroes, but not because of what they've done - they are heroes because they have experienced the transforming love of Jesus Christ and desperately want everyone else to, too; they are passionately pursuing ways to share His love.
Yes, they get excited and worked up about pigs and dogs and cats and bad grades and new clothes and all of that. But they keep their eyes on things that matter and their hearts pursue something greater than themselves: Jesus. They are all about Jesus.
When you feel discouraged about this world's future, remember these small snippets I have shared. Remember the young girls who are chasing Jesus and fighting this battle, through Jesus. Remember that 12 year olds are on mission with you and there is hope. I know there are plenty more out there than the few I know. Remember that Jesus offers more than we can comprehend. Remember that and then chase Him.
Jesus always offers hope.
Humans. They are worth investing in. Young lives. They will change this world.
I am deeply grateful for where I am right now. All glory to God the Father, who through His mighty power can accomplish infinitely more than I can ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20). That verse has been so true in the last 3 years of my life. I believe it will only get better.

Metabolic Flexibility: Lessons learnt from deficiency and supplementation of targeted nutrients
2016.12.21 |
|Mon 20 Feb
|14:15 — 16:15
|The AIAS Auditorium, Building 1632, Høegh-Guldbergs Gade 6B, 8000 Aarhus C
Food components show consistent relationships with chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. Deficiency of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and overconsumption of macro-nutrients (fat, or sugar) are classical examples. A certain level of metabolic flexibility enables us to adapt to an abrupt load of fat or sugar or a short term hunger. The personalized response to some nutrients is even used for setting an early diagnosis or making recommendation on supplementation. The seminar will summarize recent results on how we response to alterations in intakes of selected food components, and how to use these changes to make informed decisions on health and disease conditions.
Professor Rima Obeid is working as an AIAS-COFUND Marie Curie fellow at Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Aarhus University since October 2014. During her Marie-Curie Fellowship, Prof. Obeid edited a new book, obtained external funding, and collaborated with distinguished scientists at Aarhus University. She is an expert in nutritional metabolomics and has conducted numerous studies and published over 70 original articles in this field. Prof. Obeid studied Pharmacy and later obtained her PhD in Clinical Biochemistry at the Saarland University, Germany.
The AIAS Fellows' Seminar is a session of seminars held by the AIAS fellow or by other speakers proposed by the fellows. In each seminar, one fellow will present and discuss his/her current research and research project, closing off with a question and discussion session.
All seminars are held in English and open to the public. Registration to the seminar is not necessary. Read more about the AIAS Fellows' Seminar here.

As usual, never consider the following commentary associated with these photos as a formal interpretation of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Without criticizing anyone or any product, the following scenarios present us with serious electrical safety questions.
Wireway covers missing
A recent electrical inspection uncovered this section of metal wireway in the attic of a tall building. Not only was the wireway missing its covers, but someone had also used the area as a trash receptacle. This would undoubtedly add to the fuel load in this space if a fire were to break out nearby. In addition, the blocks used to support the conductors weren't a recognized method of installation. Sec. 376.2 defines a metal wireway as a sheet metal trough with a hinged or removable cover used to house and protect electric cables that are laid in place after the wireway has been installed as a complete system. Installing wireways as a complete system will ensure that they're properly grounded [250.118(14)].
Work space obstruction
This metal duct is located in a working space that should be kept clear of obstructions. The minimum depth of working space in front of electrical equipment may not be less than 3 ft. In addition, the minimum headroom of working space about electrical equipment must comply with 110.26(A)(3). The height of the working space must be clear and extend from the grade, floor, or platform to the height required by 110.26(E), which cannot be less than 6½ ft for service equipment, switchboards, panelboards, or motor control centers. In addition, if the electrical equipment is taller than 6½ ft, the minimum headroom can't be less than the height of the equipment.
Strange termination
If you look close, you'll see that someone used a bent "fender washer" to fill in the extra space at the C-phase feeder conductor termination in this overcurrent protection device. In fact, even though you can't see them, the other two phases are terminated in the same fashion. This isn't a recognized method of installation and creates a serious hazard. This installation violates the rules in 110.14, which states conductors of dissimilar metals can't be intermixed in a terminal or splicing connector.
Bad connection
This installation is located over an exit door in a large auditorium where more than 200 electrical industry representatives recently attended an industry meeting. Several attendees took a picture of this liquidtight flexible metal conduit that was missing a connector. Only time will tell if this unsafe installation will still be there when the meeting reconvenes next year. The missing fitting violates basic rules related to grounding and workmanship. See 250.4 for general requirements for proper grounding and bonding.

MOU advances Cyprus LNG export prospects
The Republic of Cyprus and Total E&P Cyprus BV have signed a memorandum of understanding furthering prospects for LNG exports from the island.
The Republic of Cyprus and Total E&P Cyprus BV have signed a memorandum of understanding furthering prospects for LNG exports from the island.
This follows the award in February to Total of production-sharing contracts for Blocks 10 and 11 in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Cyprus (OGJ Online, Feb. 6, 2013).
The agreement, said the joint announcement, "records the support" of Total for monetization of potential natural gas reserves in the area through a "variety of options giving priority" to liquefaction and LNG export to European and Asian markets.
Specifically, the two parties will cooperate on the feasibility of an onshore LNG plant to be built at Vasilikos, Cyprus.
In June 2012, the Republic of Cyprus decided to begin work toward the LNG plant at Vasilikos, which will have initial export capacity of 5 million tonnes/year (tpy), expandable to 15 million tpy (OGJ, Apr. 5, 2010, p. 62)
In its decision in December 2012, the Council of Ministers assigned to the Cypriot National Hydrocarbons Co. continuation of negotiations with Noble Energy International Ltd. regarding specific agreements for the supply of natural gas to Cyprus from Block 12 and for establishing the LNG plant.
Noble leads groups that have discovered deepwater Aphrodite gas field off Cyprus and several fields in Israeli waters nearby, including giant deepwater Leviathan field, considered a candidate for development linked to an LNG project.

There's a joke circulating across the Internet that goes: "A software engineer, a hardware engineer, and a departmental manager were driving down a steep mountain road when suddenly the brakes on their car failed. The car careened out of control down the road, bouncing off the mountainside. The car's occupants, shaken but unhurt, discussed what to do next.
The departmental manager said, 'Let's have a meeting, propose a vision, formulate a mission statement, define a set of goals, and by a process of continuous improvement, find a solution to the critical problems, and then we can be on our way.'
'No, no,' said the hardware engineer, 'That will take far too long, and besides, that method has never worked before. I've got my Swiss Army knife with me, and in no time at all I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we can be on our way.'
'Well,' said the software engineer, 'Before we do anything, I think we should push the car back onto the road and see if it happens again.'"
While that joke may not be particularly flattering to engineers, it does shed some light on the nature of the hardware engineer's function. Generally, they are concerned with the design, development and testing or debugging of computer hardware-the nuts and bolts of a system. As the hardware engineer in the joke displayed, technical professionals in this capacity like to strip a problem down to the wires and fix it fast.
Employers can range from computer manufacturers to universities to any company that uses computer networks. When hiring hardware engineers, all look for qualities such as the ability to ensure hardware reliability, isolate problems quickly and improve the computer development process.
Sound like abilities you possess? If so, you might be interested in this dynamic field, which attracts technical professionals from electrical, systems and programming backgrounds. The day-to-day pace is varied and the challenges are numerous, but for the right candidates, the rewards are no joke.
Name: Bruce Parkes
Title: Electrical Engineer, Sustaining Engineering Dept.
Company: G-Tech Corp., developer of retail, on-line lottery systems
Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Rhode Island
Job Description:
- Point-of-sale terminal design
- Design of related peripherals
How I Knew Hardware Engineering Was the Field for Me: "I wanted to get into a field that would see technological changes happen often and rapidly. That's what hardware engineering is-seeing technology change day in and day out."
Why I Accepted the Job: "G-Tech's a unique environment in that we do everything from marketing to design to manufacturing to testing all in one facility. To be able to walk onto the manufacturing floor and talk to somebody who's building what you're designing is invaluable. Not every engineer gets that opportunity."
Biggest Problems Encountered: "I'm primarily a problem-solver. Challenges range from software-related interface issues to process problems. I encounter other constraints, too, that are not just design-related. They're marketing, documentation and parts-availability constraints, but I don't see those as a big problem. They're challenges and issues that have to be considered in your design.
"The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, however. Engineering designers these days have to think more about where the product is being used, who the customer is and how the product is being manufactured. You have to implement design for manufacturing, design for assembly and design for final life."
Non-technical Skills Needed to Succeed: "Communication, communication, communication. All the non-technical aspects relate to that, whether it's writing a spec or writing an email."
Work Environment: "G-Tech is very much team-oriented. Our development process involves a 'development highway,' the process which a design goes through during development. There are certain requirements, or tollgates, along the way that the design has to pass before it progresses to the next stage: what are the design features? does it meet the business plan? is it still needed by the customer?
"The people that control that product along the way are the core team. Each core is cross-disciplinary, involving marketing, manufacturing and design people. The team stays together until the final tollgate, when the first customer shipment goes out."
The Worst Piece of Advice Someone Ever Gave Me: "'Be concerned only with your job.' Although you have to be concerned with doing your job to the best of your ability, taking such a narrow approach prevents good teaming skills. The design you're doing absolutely affects other people downstream. You have to take those people into consideration because in the long run, the customer will pay for those narrow views."
Advice to Future Hardware Engineers: "If I could get across one thing to senior engineering students, it's to communicate and record their designs. Document your designs and how you implement your decisions along the way.
"I've been back to URI since I graduated, and the biggest thing I tell students is to think of other things-constraints, requirements, other people. You can't afford just to design and pass it off. You can't work in a box."
Name: Steve Patton
Title: Systems Engineer
Company: Thompson Technologies
Education: B.S. in Computer Science, McGill University
Job Description: Installation and maintenance of UNIX operating system hardware.
Why I Accepted the Job: "Thompson is an international company with divisions in Canada and Europe, as well as across the States, and that was something I was looking for. I also wanted room for growth and our office, although small, is growing."
Biggest Problems Encountered: "We know right away when something doesn't work, and that raises expectations. There's the anticipation that everything will be functioning 24 hours a day. But Thompson Technologies is a consulting company that serves the other parts of the Thompson corporation, so when the system goes down, it impacts several hundred people."
Non-technical Skills Needed to Succeed: "You have to know how to communicate and deal with people."
What the Future Might Hold: "I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. For now, I'm headed back to school in January for an MBA to complement my technical skills with a business ability. I see business decisions being made that impact me and other people, and I'd like to educate myself to be able to have an active role in making those decisions. It also opens the possibility of becoming a manager one day."

The Bent Pyramid…Dashure, Egypt
Perhaps we have judged too rapidly when theorizing the structural design of the Bent pyramid located at Dashure, Egypt.
From the previous topic, "The Perfect Alignment" Topics we were introduced to the concept of the three pyramids at Giza situated at a 191.4 degrees separation. This implies that the pyramid designer(s) were completely aware of planet orbital characteristics, a concept never accepted or introduced in ancient Egyptian studies.
To review the technique used by the builders, we plot the basic orbital paths for the two planets Earth and Mars. These paths demonstrate the average angular distance Mars will travel during one complete orbit of Earth (Ill. 1).
Illustration 1. The outer planet Mars travels 191.4 degrees of its orbit around the Sun during one complete orbit of Earth.
There are no complex formulae required to determine the angular measure of 191.4 degrees, and is simply calculated by knowing the number of days to an Earth year and counting the days from one alignment with Mars, Earth, and the Sun to the next alignment. What must be realized is the ancients knowing that planets orbited the Sun, and the ability to measure, record, and present their results in a most ingenious manner…their measures are brazenly "formed" into the Bent pyramid.
To compare the Bent pyramid to the orbital data for Mars and Earth, we simply rotate the illustration above to match the angular measure of the pyramid (Ill. 2).
Illustration 2. The orbital paths of Mars and Earth are rotated then compared to the side angular measure for the Bent Pyramid at Dashure.
It is here where we must begin to realize that two separate and distinct sites: Giza, and Dashure have the identical angular measure designed within (191.4 degrees). The implementation of this angle should have automatically directed us toward considering that our ancient ancestors were aware of planets orbiting the Sun.
From the previous topic, we were introduced to the concept of the Giza complex demonstrating planet alignment and their distances from the Sun. The most astonishing aspect was the comparison of the physical size for the three large Giza pyramids compared to the four inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Although it is unknown how the ancients could have attained this knowledge, it is reaffirmed by the formation of the Bent Pyramid.
There are several speculations why this pyramid was actually constructed having sides with two distinct angular measures. Many theorists believe that the original structure was built upon a weak foundation causing fractures within, forcing the builders to consider aborting the project. Rather than abort, the builders elected to complete the structure at a reduced angular measure. Unfortunately, this theory is based only on the structural design of the pyramid. Since we have not realized why the designer(s) elected to form the bend in the sides, we automatically assume that something went wrong during construction, yet…the Bent Pyramid is the most "well preserved" of all ancient pyramids built in Egypt! …a great oversight made by many.
Close examination clearly shows the alteration of outer casing stone placement immediately prior to the actual change in the structure's angular slope (bend). These stones are more rectangular in shape, or longer in length than those below or above. The builders were actually "preparing" the sides to withstand the "directional change" in angular pressure from the courses above. The lower angled sides of the upper section actually disturb the integrity of stone placement in the lower section of the structure. The pyramid had to be built according to an initial plan. It was "intentionally" designed to have an external angular measure (bend) approximately equal to 191.4 degree within the design. To confirm, a second neighbouring pyramid ("North" [Red] Pyramid) was constructed.
By design, both pyramids: "Bent" and "North" have a calculated or completed height equal to each other.
The fact that both pyramids are equal in height supports the concept of a mathematical "link" between both structures and possibly verifies that the "bend" was intentionally designed into the structure.
This proposal could be dismissed if we knew that the Bent pyramid was the first of the two built at Dashure. But evidence indicates the Bent pyramid being built after the North pyramid, reaffirming the concept that the Bent pyramid was designed to match the height of the North Pyramid upon completion.
Two common elements are now known: equal heights for the two pyramids at Dashure, and a 191.4 degrees measure for the Bent pyramid and the Giza complex.
The 191.4 degrees definitely represents the two planets: Earth, and Mars and their orbital ratios. Now we must attempt confirming if the pyramid designer(s) had inserted their knowledge of planet sizes into the Bent Pyramid, as they had successfully achieved at Giza.
Illustration 3 shows the "three-point" or maximum size circle that can be formed by using the measures of the Bent Pyramid; this circle is to represent Earth, it being almost twice the diameter of Mars.
Illustration 3. The maximum size circle formed by the Bent Pyramid represents the planet Earth.
From illustration 3, we now add and position other known cosmic bodies, drawn in ratio to the large circle; it representing Earth (ill. 4).
Illustration 4. Only two other known cosmic object fit geometrically within the Bent Pyramid design: Mars, and the Moon.
Both Mars and the Moon fit directly into the Bent Pyramid design, unfortunately the other two know objects of approximate size: Venus, and Mercury do not. This should not deter us in any way whatsoever; it should actually help confirm what the ancients were attempting to express.
The two planets: Earth, and Mars were introduced. We know Mars orbits 191.4 degrees with respect to Earth, and the planet Earth is the only inner planet with a significant sized moon. The Bent Pyramid design is actually "created" using the measures of the two planets in question, and confirmed by including the Moon of Earth. This is an amazing approach to demonstrate the knowledge gained by the pyramid designer(s).
Could the ancients measure these cosmic objects to such accuracy…if not…how did they gain this knowledge?
Many will remain steadfast in their belief that these measures are mere "coincidental", but there are two other measures yet to be analyzed; the two angular slopes forming the "bend" in the side of the structure.
Why did the ancients elect to build at a steep angle (54.52 degrees) then intentionally reduce this to a lower slope of (43.35 degrees)?
The greatest challenge, ever presented to this writer, was to provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the two specified angles were by design.
What had to be analyzed were the "unique" features relating only to Earth and Mars; no other planets were to be considered.
The answer has already been presented…the orbital paths for both planets !
Today we know and have recorded the actual orbital paths for all planets. We are aware when they are closest (perihelion), furthest (aphelion), and average distances from the Sun.
With the aid of CAD programs, we can easily create the actual paths that Earth and Mars travel around the Sun (Ill. 5).
Illustration 5. The orbital paths for the planets Mars and Earth
From illustration 5, we notice the large eccentric orbital path of Mars (0.093% offset from average), compared to the small variation of Earth (0.16%). Could the ancients have known that Mars has an elliptical orbit? If it were possible, then what means would they use to represent this knowledge within the Bent Pyramid?
We know the maximum, minimum, and average distances that Mars is from the Sun; it is calculated by simple "triangulation" measure. Now we will discover that the ancients also measured using this identical system (Ill. 6).
Illustration 6. Triangular measure in degrees is used to determine the distance Mars is from Earth. One set of angles is identical to the Bent Pyramid.
Illustration 6 shows the four measures of Earth and Mars from their respective min, max, and average distances from the Sun.
Observing the lower right measures to Mars, when the planet is at its average orbital location, is made from the furthest and average location of Earth. The two measures are 54.35 degrees and 43.44 degrees…the identical measures for the two angles forming the Bent Pyramid. !! (Ill. 7)
Illustration 7. The two side angular measures, forming the Bent Pyramid, are directly related to the angular distance measures to the planet Mars.
Who could have designed such a simple yet complicated structure, the Bent Pyramid, built to demonstrate their gained knowledge of planet motion, and specifically to emphasize the measures for the planet Mars with respect to Earth and its companion the Moon?
This can only be followed by the most interesting question of all…How was it accomplished ?

The second book in the Falconer trilogy is packed with surprises and suspense. Aileana Cameron, the Falconer, disappeared through the portal that she was trying to close forever. Now she wakes up in the fae world, trapped and tortured by the evil Lonnrach. With the help of an unexpected ally, Aileana re-enters the human world, only to find everything irrevocably changed. Edinburgh has been destroyed, and the few human survivors are living in an uneasy truce with the fae, while both worlds are in danger of disappearing altogether. Aileana holds the key to saving both worlds, but in order to do so she must awaken her latent Falconer powers. And the price of doing that might be her life. Rich with imaginative detail, action, fae lore, and romance, The Vanishing Throne is a thrilling sequel to The Falconer.
My Review!*Spoilers for the first book!
I am dead. And this book killed me.
I don't know how it was possible for this to surpass my expectations and love for the first, but I do believe it did. I thought The Falconer was so good, but this one was HOLY SHIT SO AWESOMEPAINFUL OMG. Upon finishing this, not only is my heart is shatters, but this series has become a FAVORITE of mine, and these characters are just freaking amazing. And I have no idea how I'm gonna be able to wait for the final book. It better not be a freaking 2 year wait like the one in-between the first two books! I would especially be upset after this other goddamn cruel ending! What a fucking cliffhanger, I can't even deal right now. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY BABIES.
I have so much love for Aileana. I love that she's not only a badass heroine, but also a person who feels and thinks and chooses her own destiny. Throughout everything she goes through, she just doesn't give up. Not once. Even when she so deserves to, when she deserves a break, a chance to chill. When she's captured, Aileana is forced to withstand torture of a mental kind, almost worst than if it had been physical. Lonrach stole her memories, her will, her fight. He stole a piece of her that she won't ever get back. But damn if she's going to let him win. Damn if she's going to let those months trapped in that room of mirrors defeat her. In The Vanishing Throne, Aileana is not only working through that pain and anger, but also the guilt that she wasn't able to save her world. Edinburgh is gone. Her father, most likely dead. Her friends, forced to hide and lean on the cousins of the creatures that destroyed their lives. The price of her failure haunts her. She's never backed down from her duty, but I believe she takes on too much. Her martyrdom was a *wee* bit annoying just because I KNOW she doesn't deserve the way she beats herself up for things she can't control. It's not her fault. It's not, and Aileana is TRYING to get that. She's trying to forgive herself, as well as trying to survive in this new world. And she's trying to understand her relationship with Kiaran. It frustrates her, but also gives her strength. Strength that she clearly doesn't need, but one that she welcomes. And one, that I think, is super good for her.
Kiaran has always been a bastard. Partly because of his past, but also because he's lived too long to let himself feel, and give humans patience. But in the sequel, he's growing as well. His love for Aileana is something that he hasn't felt in so long that it's basically foreign. And he stumbles. He pushes and needles and sometimes he doesn't understand human emotions even though, since he's lived among them for thousands of years, you'd think he would by now. But he's trying, too. He's trying to be, like, worthy of Aileana. Like her, he also beats himself up for things he shouldn't have to. Er, well, in some respects. He did baaaaad things when he was leading the Wild Hunt, but I also think the Cailleach had been the biggest reason for that. She pushed him and his sister into war, as was the custom of their culture, and he was born into a world that valued war and death and revenge above all else. He's clearly not a great guy if his past is any indication, but he tries to do right by Aileana. And he's always understood her, even when she didn't feel like she knew herself at all. Throughout the book, their relationship is pushed to the test. In a new era such as this, the two of them together is hard for people to understand. Not only that, but Aileana is still trying to reconcile Kiaran with his Kadamach self. She's seen into his past and his life, and she has to decide whether or not he's worth the shot. She has to decide whether to forgive (but NEVER forget) what he's done and move on from all of that. He may not have been a good person in the past, or not always even now, but he's her EQUAL. He matches her in all ways, and he's a steadfast anchor when her world falls apart.
I, um, clearly have a lot of feelings on their romance. I feel like I need to defend it sometimes, especially considering everything that happens in these books, but I also think it's another way that Aileana grows and strengthens as a character, and I'm ALL for that. What also helps her is her relationships with her best friends, Catherine and Gavin (who incidentally pissed me off big time with what he let happen to Aileana, but who she also finds it in herself to forgive), and that of the faeries Derrick and Aithinne. You know my thoughts already on Catherine, Gavin, and Derrick. I love that they're big supports for Aileana, but that they're also 3-dimensional characters. They're not pushed to the background. I loved learning more about Derrick's past, as well as seeing where Gavin and Catherine are at after 3 years. 3 years have passed since the events of The Falconer (which was super hard to actually reconcile, ngl, I didn't expect such a big time gap), which is also something that completely trips Aileana up. For her, two months in the faerie world, but not for Edinburgh and her friends. And the person who got her out of that mirror prison is Aithinne, Kiaran's sister. AITHINNE IS ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS CHARACTERS OF EVER. Her quiet strength, her willpower, her grace in fights and with other people. She's a compassionate person, which is kind of not-normal for faeries. And she's also loyal, loving, and forgiving (even when she doesn't have to be). She's got a past too, one that isn't nearly as bad as her brother's but still, not good. But people change as time moves on. They're both different from who they were back then, and I loved seeing that. Also, their sibling banter was one of my favorite parts of this book.
The Vanishing Throne upped the high stakes from the first book, and somehow was more intense, grueling, and character-driven. I loved everything about it. From the kickass Falconer to her world-weary trainer. From the humans who bring light back into a darkened Scotland to the faeries who protect them at a cost. From the confidants who lend the main character much-needed support now that both of her parents are gone to the newest arrival who simply tells Aileana that it's okay to be angry and hurt for what had been done to her in the faery world. From the passionate and believable romance to the sibling rivalry turned new beginning for two people who had been fighting each other for so long. Basically, the characters are what makes these stories so freaking fantastic. The world itself is engaging and magical, but the characters are what breathe life into it.

We all know that leading a sedentary lifestyle is bad for both figure and health. And one of the many, many things that drive a lot of people to become inactive is the television.
Although it's true that the boob tube can be a wonderful source of entertainment and information, the truth is being seated in front of it all the time can be the root cause of many problems, from having excess pounds to losing precious relationships. Just like with so many forms of addiction, being hooked on the television can interfere with your having a normal and healthy life in a lot of ways – the end results can be much more riveting than a soap opera!
So how can you tell whether you're spending just the right amount of time in front of your TV or you simply have your eyes always glued to its screen? Here are some of the telltale signs:
You Don't Go Out With Friends Anymore
Hanging out with your friends is a great lifter of the mood and combater of stress. If often you cancel coffee or badminton plans with your chums because you simply cannot skip your favorite TV shows, then you are definitely hooked on your TV. Oh, and you're in trouble if you consider your favorite television characters as your newfound friends.
Your Kitchen is Gathering Dust
Somewhere along the trip from your office to your home at the end of the day, do you stop to get takeout? It's perfectly fine if your reason for such is you're too tired to prepare dinner from scratch. But if you habitually do it just to be able to spend the rest of your day in front of your television, it's very much likely that you're a TV addict.
You Start and End Your Day in Front of the TV
Do you reach for the remote before you make coffee at the start of your day? Is an infomercial product the last thing you see before you close your eyes at night to catch some Z's? Then you are definitely addicted to the boob tube. Especially if you have a TV set installed in your bedroom, it can be very easy for this piece of technology to ruin your life.
Your Waistline is Expanding
One of the most serious problems that you can end up with for being hooked on TV is weight gain. It doesn't really come as a shock because of your sedentary lifestyle. The thing is being overweight is not just a cosmetic issue – within your body your heart and vital organs could already be enveloped in fat, putting you at risk of various diseases.
You Turn to the TV When You Have Problems
A healthy way to tackle a life problem is by facing it head on or talking about it with family members or friends to keep those negative feelings from being repressed, which is a bad thing when pent-up. But if it's your habit to sit in front of the television when frustrated with your boss or worrying about next month's rent, then it's a red flag.
Keep in mind always that too much of something is bad. The television can be one of your greatest allies for combating boredom and stress, but it can also be one of your worst adversaries if you get addicted to it.

With fall rapidly turning into winter, we decided to head up to Rochers-de-Naye for a hike before the snow started to fall.
To get to the trails, you take a cog-wheel train 45 minutes into the mountains. On the ride up, the sky was blue with just one cloud in the sky. As we approached the station, the sun began to fade and we realized that the one cloud had settled exactly where we'd hoped to hike.
After a quick confirmation that it was, in fact, gray in every direction, we decided to hike down the mountain, figuring that we'd get through the fog that way.
It's not unusual to see paragliders out in droves when the sky is clear.
There were even more than usual floating about and as we rounded a corner we soon learned why.
It seemed to be a takeoff point for people well acquainted with the art of slowly falling. We stood for awhile, watching the gliders pop earbuds in, queue up some good music and then run off the side of the mountain.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has expressed disappointment that Steven Gerrard is leaving the Premier League and joked he should try to sign the former England captain on loan.
Gerrard will move to the Los Angeles Galaxy when his Liverpool contract expires at the end of the season.
The midfielder was courted in 2005 by Chelsea, only for a dramatic change of mind to see him stay at Liverpool, where he has played his entire club career to date.
Speaking after Chelsea's 1-1 Capital One Cup first-leg draw at Anfield last night, Mourinho discussed the 34-year-old's situation.
Mourinho was asked on BBC Radio 5 Live if he should have a word with Gerrard and persuade him to stay, and said: "Or to get him on loan."
The tongue-in-cheek remark comes after long-serving former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard ended up with Manchester City this season, after an apparent deal with New York City FC seemed to mean his Premier League career was over.
Mourinho said of Gerrard: "I'm not happy he leaves. I would love the Premier League to keep always the best players.
"I think he has more than enough quality to play in the Premier League. In spite (of the fact) he's my opponent, I feel sorry that he's leaving."
