CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson won a lot of supporters from both conservatives and independent thinkers when she began a short but relentless career at the Tiffany Network, conducting unauthorized experiments in truth telling. Of course, as many predicted early on, that wasn't going to last terribly long and she has since exited Stage Left. But her experiences with her old bosses were certain to raise some questions, and a few of them were answered this week during an interview on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
Chris Stigall talked to former CBS News Reporter Sharyl Attkisson this morning on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about the trouble reporters have to deal with while covering politicians and the government, as well as the current state of investigative reporting.
Responding to comments regarding a Phoenix television reporter yesterday who initially claimed that the White House pre-screens questions from reporters, Attkisson said, "I wouldn't surprised if sometimes there is that level of cooperation with some questions. If I need something answered from the White House and they won't tell me, I'll call our White House Correspondent. They're friendlier with the White House Correspondents in general. So the White House Correspondent may ask Jay Carney or one of his folks about an issue and they will be told 'ask that at the briefing and we'll answer it.' They want to answer it in front of everybody. They do know it's coming and they'll call on you. There's that kind of coordination sometimes. I wouldn't be shocked if there's sometimes more coordination. I don't think it's everybody on every briefing, every day. I'm pretty sure it's not. But I think people would be surprised at the level of cooperation reporters have in general with politicians."
I should probably give you all a moment to get up from the fainting couches and recover from the shock of hearing that.
I'm not sure what the future holds for Sharyl Attkisson, but she's a refreshing breath of fresh air. She has a book coming out which deals with her experiences in the mainstream media. I can assure you that I'll be on the list to read it as soon as it's available and will share it with you here. But what's she up to in the meantime? Well, she was still taking to Twitter last night to chat.
@jcopella I have serious questions remaining about FF and Benghazi..hard to say which questions may be more serious…
— Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson) March 21, 2014
I'll probably be accused of some form of sexism for this, but… you go, girl.

1. Donkey Kicks. Start on all fours, hands shoulder-width and knees hip-width apart. Keeping your right foot flexed and leg bent, raise your right leg and press your heel toward the ceiling until your foot is directly above your butt. Squeeze your glutes and slowly return to starting position but keep your knee off the ground. Repeat this 15 times and then switch legs.
2. Doggy Hydrant. Start on all fours, hands shoulder-width and knees hip-width apart. Keeping your feet flexed and knees bent, open your left leg out to the side until your inner thigh is parallel with the floor. Squeeze your glutes and your abs and return to the starting position with your knee only slightly off the floor. Repeat this 15 times and then switch legs.
3. Chair Kicks. Grab a chair (preferably a tall chair) and face it away from you. Stand an arms-length behind the chair with your feet together and grab the back of the seat with both hands for balance. Lean forward slightly and lift your right leg directly behind you, keeping your knee straight but not locked. Squeeze your glutes and make sure to square your hips with the chair; don't open your hip out to the side when you kick behind. Raise your leg as high as you can and then lower your leg with control and return to the starting position. Repeat this move 10 times and switch legs. Do two sets of these.
4. Squat Pulse. Begin standing with your legs wider than shoulder width apart, toes turned out, and your arms straight out in front of you. Squat down and keep your knees in line with your toes, squeeze your abs tight, and keep your back straight. Stay in squat position and pulse up and down, raising and lowering your butt 6 inches or so each time. Pulse 10 times before relaxing and standing. The trick is to stay in squat position until the end; don't stand up until you're finished. Repeat 15 times and do three sets of these.
5. Squat Kick. Start standing with your legs wider than hip-width apart and your toes slightly turned out. With your arms straight in front of you, lower yourself into a squat until your butt is just below the height of your knees. Make sure your knees stay behind your toes when you squat. If your knees reach past your toes, widen your stance a little bit. Next, stand back up and when you reach starting position, lift your left leg as high as you can directly to the side of you. Lower your leg back to the ground with control. Repeat 10 times and switch legs. Do three sets of these.

Thanks to the Screen Actors Guild Awards, we get to see veteran performers collect life achievement awards.
The Oscar telecast, which used to share those terrific moments, got out of that business to focus on current movies. It was a boneheaded move.
Watching Cary Grant, Kirk Douglas or Deborah Kerr get a career award was far more compelling than seeing someone blather on about a current movie.
The SAG tribute to Debbie Reynolds on Sunday was sweet, poignant and funny. Reynolds repeated herself -- don't we all? And she cited two favorite movies: "Singin' in the Rain" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." She has two favorites for a reason: The former is...

Twenty-seven years ago, when Aaron Tuneberg was first diagnosed with a developmental disability, doctors were quick to list a slew of basic abilities he'd never master.
He wouldn't read, they said. He wouldn't write. He wouldn't be able to ride a bike.
As his mother stood in Scott Carpenter Park on Thursday evening before Boulder's weekly "cruiser ride" — a gathering of costumed cyclists her son took part in religiously — she thought back to all the ways he'd defied his diagnosis. Nothing stood out more than his mastery on two wheels.
"He was still learning things, still growing, changing," Gale Boonstra said. "But he could ride a bike like nobody. To know that he was able to achieve that kind of independence in life, that means everything to me."
Aaron Matthew Tuneberg Memorial Fund
Send donations to: Noel Culberson, Morgan Stanley, One Boulder Plaza, 1800 Broadway, Suite 120, Boulder, CO 80302.
Only weeks after Tuneberg, 30, was killed in a robbery attempt, Boonstra and more than 150 others gathered to ride in honor and memory of his life.
Tuneberg's alleged killers, Austin Holford and Luke Pelham, both 18, are facing charges including first-degree felony murder, with prosecutors claiming they beat Tuneberg with a bat and a golf club while trying to steal his Xbox on March 31.
Despite the brutal nature of the crime, Chris Vinall, a friend of Tuneberg and one of the event's organizers, said the Thursday night ride was a "celebration" and not a time to mourn.
"This is the way he'd want to do it, in a 'Happy Thursday' manner," Vinall said.
Friends, family members and fellow cruisers said the group provided Tuneberg a safe environment, free of judgment, where he could throw on a wacky costume, hop on his tricked-out two-wheeler and be a welcomed part of something.
"I would like to think that it was a place he didn't feel different," said Amy Zuckerman, a longtime family friend. "He felt accepted and free, and was one of the group."
"There was no expectation here," added Tuneberg's sister Rachel. "It was just openness to whatever. I think that's the kind of people Aaron needed, and the kind of person he was."
The Happy Thursday Night Cruisers change themes every week, and Thursday's was "Pimp Your Ride" — a message Vinall knows Tuneberg, a highly stylish man whose stable included an all-chrome bike and a low-rider with hydraulic pumps, would endorse.
"I knew him as just being a quality cruiser," Vinall said. "He got into the themes; he would really dress up."
Friends and family members said that, while Tuneberg relished the costumes and the fancy rides, the camaraderie of the event kept him coming back.
"He was into the spirit of the ride," Vinall said. "He wasn't a fair-weather guy, either. He'd ride in the bad stuff."
Tuneberg was so devoted, his stepfather said, that family events always had to be scheduled around cruises.
"This was a community that really met Aaron where he was," said his sister Sarah, who adorned her bike Thursday with photos of her brother. "It was acceptance and love, and that's what you're seeing tonight. We get to do the thing he loved the most here. We get to channel Aaron and be happy where he was happy."
His joyful spirit was evident in Thursday's riders, but many of them still carry heavy hearts.
"To have somebody that we knew die in such a tragic, violent way," Vinall said. "That's no way to lose someone. It's a horrible loss."
"I think we have a lot of healing to do around the violence," Zuckerman added.
Part of the healing process, friends and family said, is remembering the man who exceeded doctors' expectations in nearly every capacity, and did it all with a smile — and an awesome bike.
"For all of our worry about our brother," Sarah said, "he had a life that was beautiful. That's what we want for everyone, disabled or not."
In Tuneberg's memory, his family hopes to raise enough money to establish a group home for developmentally disabled adults.
"I have a really strong desire that everything I do the rest of my life will be honoring him and not relegating him to a victim of a crime, and this fund is part of that," Boonstra said.
Tuneberg's mother hopes the home will foster in its residents the same kind of independence and zeal for life she saw in her son.
"I'm so proud of him," she said, bike horns and joyous music blaring in the background. "Every mother wants their child to be happy, to be loved. I'm thrilled to know that he found this community."

Senate GOP's budget battle
Senate Republicans are warring over the budget, creating rifts between the old and new guards, the mainstream and the tea party and Sens. John McCain and Ted Cruz.
Republicans typically are a well-oiled message machine, keeping their dirty laundry behind closed doors as they hammer Democrats on issues ranging from taxes to health care.
Story Continued Below
But this week has tested their unity.
( QUIZ: Do you know Ted Cruz?)
With Cruz as the ringleader, a handful of Senate conservatives are refusing to consent to budget negotiations with the House, instead engaging in open combat with more senior Republicans like McCain who are perplexed at their hardball tactics. The fight has given Cruz a new platform as he tries to claim the mantle of conservative provocateur, but it has left the Texas Republican increasingly alienated from many of his colleagues.
The unusual public sniping has put Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in an increasingly awkward spot as he must choose between the conservative firebrands with huge clout from the right who could very well run for president in 2016 and ending the internecine feud that is causing an unwelcome distraction for his party. It's all reminiscent of the tea party versus establishment fights that have shaken Senate primaries in recent years — but this time, the battles are playing out on the Senate floor.
GOP leaders are sitting back, uncertain how the situation will resolve itself. Right now, it's unclear who will win — but more Republicans appear to favor heading to conference than blocking it, though the voices in favor of the latter may be louder.
"I'm just watching," said Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican and Cruz's Texas colleague, even as Cornyn favors beginning conference talks.
Cruz isn't alone in the fight, which he says is intended to prevent a debt limit increase from being added to the budget talks. He's been leading the charge with fellow tea party Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky. It's also a sign of how 2016 primary politics is shaping the Senate, with Rubio, Cruz and Paul all seen as likely rivals in a presidential bid.
Cruz even took the fight to his own party on Wednesday, when he said he doesn't even "trust" Republicans to resolve the country's fiscal problems or avoid including an increase to the debt ceiling.
"The senior senator from Arizona urged this body to trust the Republicans," Cruz said on the floor Wednesday. "Let me be clear, I don't trust the Republicans. I don't trust the Democrats, and I think a whole lot of Americans likewise don't trust the Republicans or the Democrats, because it is leadership in both parties that has got us into this mess.
On Thursday, he depicted the conference proceedings as a ruse to increase the ceiling by a simple majority instead of 60 votes.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
The controversy started after Senate Democrats passed a budget in March — their first such plan in four years. Afterward, Democrats wanted to begin conference negotiations with House Republicans, who passed their own budget by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). A conference is part of the regular order that the GOP has long demanded.
But Senate conservatives objected to Majority Leader Harry Reid's attempt to begin the proceedings, saying they wanted written assurances to take tax hikes and a debt limit increase off the table.

Alex Fleming needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 76 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Helter Shelter
Currently we have some yurts for Hire and to holiday in.. In the future this will evolve to include other structures like geodesic domes etc.
The products are primarily to holiday in (A pre erected luxury tent) but as I build the website will also offer them for sale.
We are a family company situated in the Lake District National Park in the UK.
We plan to offer a very friendly service, that offers fantastic quality and as such very good value for money. We believe the Yurt holiday is a chance to get 'Wild in Style'.
Incidentally :
A yurt is a canvas / wooden structure that has all the luxuries of a
home but with the closeness to the earth you get from camping. It is a
structure whose history is over a thousand years, they have enjoyed a
resurgance of interest in the last couple of decades. With Beds, cooking / living facitilies and inclusion of a wood burner for total comfort come rain or shine.
You get all the benefits of camping : closeness to nature, more
rustic living, wonderful locations, great access to the area you are in, affordability.
BUT don't have any of the hassles : Having to fill the car with all the equipment required, having to potentially put up or take down the tent in the rain causing hassle when you get home etc etc.
Because the yurt has, Beds, Wooden Floor, Wood burner, proper cooking facilities and all other manner of comforts would appeal to :
Activity holidayers - some where dry and comfortable to come back to with all the space in the car for specialist equipment
Those that aren't really 'into' camping and so offers that cross over..
Those that like an adventure / doing something different
Eco Holidayer's
Needs to be friendly, quirky, dependable, fresh. Trying to tap into a new market that hasn't tried camping before, maybe pull people away from a Bed + Breakfast to try a yurt, yet appeal to traditional campers who might fancy tring something new.
As it does cost a bit of money their expectation does have to be met firstly by logo and web design and then the holiday itself.
Examples of competition:
The logo could incorporate a spiral style structure or a symbolic
representation of a shelter. I did a mock up of something that might be useful as a guide - Attached File
The logo will be primarily for web use, but must also be scaelable
(preferable vector based) and clear enough to rpint on business cards
and on clothing.
Ideally the logo should be able to be reproduced in Blacka nd White
although not essential
The logo should give the feeling of PROFESSIONALISM and FUN rather than simply business to business.
I don't want any stock photos or clipart pictures to be used
I would like helter shelter used in / around the logo (so it can be used as a whole or used seperatly), Using an interesting font for the text and possibly using all lower case?
The Tag line for this is WILD in STYLE..
Taking the Hassle out of Camping
Thankyou very much

Freycinet National Park
Freycinet National Park is on the East Coast of Tasmania. Freycinet National Park consists of knuckles of granite mountains all but surrounded by azure bays and white sand beaches. The dramatic peaks of the Hazards welcome you as you enter the park.
Freycinet National Park offers a wide variety of activities. Take a walk to the pass overlooking the perfectly shaped Wineglass Bay or try less strenuous activities like beach strolls, swimming or wildlife spotting.
Freycinet National Park is administered by the Parks and Wildlife Service[1] of Tasmania.
Freycinet National Park was named after its founder, Louis de Freycinet.
Freycinet has stunning scenery - from the peaks of The Hazards of Coles Bay to the wonderful crescent of Wineglass Bay, Freycinet is a fascinating and breathtaking experience - one not to be missed on a visit to Tasmania.
Flora and fauna
You will be sharing the park with wonderful plants; and animals like wallabies.
The climate in Freycinet is like most of Tasmania - relatively cool all year round, and the weather is pretty mild. As it is windy, bringing an umbrella is not practical. Be prepared for all kinds of weather, though.
Get in
By Car
Freycinet National Park is about 2.5 hours to 3 hours drive from either Hobart or Launceston. All roads to Freycinet are sealed, so a 4WD is not needed.
When driving from dusk to dawn, do take care as you are sharing the road with wildlife. Drive cautiously and keep a lookout for wallabies and wombats.
You need a permit for all of Tasmania's National Parks. They can be bought at the national park visitor centre at the park entrance, and there are several different options from a day pass for just this one national park to a pass that is valid for an entire year and includes all National Parks of Tasmania.
The fees are shown below (currency is in Australian dollar):
Daily Pass: up to 24 hours Per vehicle (up to 8 people): $22 Per person: $11
Holiday Pass: Up to 8 weeks Per Vehicle (up to 8 people) :$56 Per Person :$28
Get around
The only way to get around Freycinet is by car. However, if you do wish to follow tours or use public transport, find more information at the Parks and Wildlife Services of Tasmania's Freycinet National Park Section
If you do not wish to get to the beach, go to the Wineglass Bay Lookout. It is the same walk as the one which takes you to Wineglass Bay itself, but it is half the journey. Enjoy spectacular views and take postcard shots from there.
Take the many walks at Freycinet. Be sure to wear proper walking shoes and have a good map. Here is a guide:
Short walks (Under 2 hours return):
Medium walks (2-4 hours return):
Long walks (4-8 hours return):
Be sure to check the weather before planning the walks. Besides these walks, there are other shorter walks, like 5-10 minute walks which are worth taking. Get more information at the Freycinet Visitor Centre.
Do take scenic drives around Freycinet. Here is a guide:
Souvenirs can be bought at the Freycinet Visitor Centre. They are rather affordable, and you can find good stuff there.
There is one pub in Freycinet, the Iluka Tavern in the town of Coles Bay which has a bottle shop as well.
You need a camping permit to camp at Freycinet. For more information, inquire at the Freycinet National Park Visitor Centre.
Stay safe
Get out

Our mom yells a lot. To wake up, to stop fighting, to put on our shoes already. And it's not that we don't deserve it ... because we do, it's just that it's not all that effective. Like, at all.
With some help from my brother and sister, we've come up with a list of why parents should never yell at their kids. We hope she reads it and realizes how very wise we are.
1. It's annoying. The sound of you yelling at us to get out of bed is like nails on a chalkboard to us. It doesn't inspire us to move, it just makes us cover our ears to end the horrific noise. Sure, we didn't wake up the first 542 times you tried, but yelling isn't going to make us move. Why? Because it's early and we're tired, dammit. And no we don't want to hear that we stayed up too late the night before. We know.
2. It's embarrassing to be disciplined. It's bad enough when you reprimand us when nobody is around, but when our friends hear you yell at us, we want to move to a new town and make all new friends because they're never going to forget that sound and it's probably going in our high school yearbooks.
More from The Stir: 7 Reasons Kids Should Be Allowed to Skip Homework
3. It's embarrassing to be loved. It's not better when you yell out of the car window, "Eat your whole lunch, I loooooooove you!!" We're aware that you love us because you tell us a million times a day. The whole carpool line doesn't need to know it, too, thank you very much.
4. You're going to hurt your throat. Just looking out for you!
5. The neighbors hear you. Remember that time we were running around naked like wild animals and you yelled, "Get your naked tushes in the bath now or you're going to school naked tomorrow!!" and then we realized the windows were wide open and all of the neighbors grilling outside heard everything you said? We bet they remember, too.
6. We secretly recorded you yelling once with your iPhone. (And it was not flattering.) Don't think you're the only one who can play that game.
7. It's funny. Ask daddy. The sound of you yelling, as annoying as it is, is also really, really funny. And we know you don't appreciate when we burst out laughing at you when you yell, but we just can't help it. In fact, nothing brings us siblings closer.
8. You don't let us yell at you, so it's just not fair. Haven't you ever heard "treat others as you would like to be treated"?
9. It doesn't work. Perhaps instead of spending so much energy on yelling at us, you could focus your energies elsewhere. Like making us a hot breakfast for a change.
10. We've become immune to it. Your yelling doesn't scare us anymore, at all. Neither does "the look" you like to shoot us. You ought to just accept that we're the ones in control here and we'll all be happier.
The moms at The Stir desperately needed a day off so we decided to let our kids help us write The Stir today -- find out more about them in their blogger profiles and see what they are writing about at Kids Takeover. Happy April Fools! :)

Curtsong needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 106 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
Big Mouth Music
My name is Scott Curts. I have been performing music my whole life and most recently in Southwest Florida for the past 20 years. I'm breaking away from the night club scene to establish my business and presence online. My current band I've been performing with for the past 13 years is: http://www.chameleonentertainment.com. I've worked on some indie film projects and multi media works writing and creating music for for film, commercials, podcasts, websites, radio ids etc. I'm currently working on an independent full feature film: http://www.beautifulnoisemovie.com. I'm starting out marketing this work and creativity on my new website: http://www.bigmouthmusic.com.
I have already developed a site for my production company: http://www.curtsong.com. I intend to brand myself as an artist, composer, song writer and music producer. While working on projects I'll sell royalty free music through Big Mouth Music.
I love music and anything creative. I'm 46 years old and love every style of music from contemporary dance, Hip Hop, Alternative, Classic Rock, R & B, Latin, Techno, Jazz, classical. I'm as ecclectic and diverse as one could get.
My target market is broadcast media, advertising agencies, film industry, indie industries, and web media.
After my research , I have realized that I'm not looking to compete with huge royalty free companies with thousands of tracks in every category. I'm looking to brand myself as an artist with a library to license for media use.
I'm attaching two jpgs which will show the template I'm starting with for the website. As you'll see One is light and the other is dark. I'm leaning towards the lighter version. This template has a transparency that I like, which can lend to using the logo as a large background in addition to the logo spot reserved. I can change the spacial size for that spot as well.
Feedback is welcome, as I have played with the creativity of graphic design and web design, however, my training is in music. I just greatly appreciate the skills you all possess. I'm a geek at heart. :)
As for the design of the logo, I'm seeing "playful", "fun", obviously working with a graphic Mouth in some way would really be cool. Would like to steer away from anything close to the Rolling Stones Graphic Mouth and Tongue. I want it to convey a Hip Cool Contemporary feel nothing stuffy or Corporate. Indie Music image.
Man I wish I had your creative graphic talents! :)

Found on: http://paranormal.ab...ost-Hunting.htm
Please review the full version. I have a slightly shorter version below:
WHETHER YOU ARE a seasoned member of a ghost-hunting group or an occasional investigator who likes to participate around Halloween or at special events, there are rules you must follow. Too often we have heard of ghost-hunting groups that seem to operate without any rules at all, and the result is almost always chaos, bad evidence, sometimes even illegal activity and injury
Here are some guidelines - 10 Commandments - that every paranormal investigation group should consider and take to heart:
1. Thou Shalt Be Informed
Before you start an investigation, learn all you can about the location and the paranormal activity that has been reported there. Seek any books, magazine and newspaper articles that might have been written about the place. If possible, interview eyewitnesses to the activity. The more you know about a location, the better you'll be able to conduct your investigation. You'll know about specific areas to look into, the right questions to ask, and will be better able to understand any evidence uncovered.
2. Thou Shalt Be Prepared
you should be prepared physically and equipment-wise. Physically, be sure you are feeling well enough to endure whatever the investigation might demand: climbing stairs, creeping through damp basements, etc. If you have a bad cold, you don't want to spread it among your fellow members or your clients.
Make sure your equipment is ready: plenty of extra batteries, clean camera lens, plenty of memory cards for cameras and camcorders, tape for voice recorders and camcorders, note-taking supplies, flashlights, extension cords.... You should have a checklist of equipment and supplies.
3. Thou Shalt Not Trespass
Just because you have a well-organized ghost-hunting group with cool T-shirts does not give you automatic permission to go into any abandoned building or even any cemetery after hours (most are closed after sunset) to do an investigation. Even though a building looks abandoned, the property is still owned by someone, and going into it without permission is illegal.
Always - ALWAYS - get permission to investigate
4. Thou Shalt Be Respectful
A big part of your ghost-hunting group's reputation is based on how respectful it is - to the property being investigated and to any clients that might be involved. A property owner or client is going to want to feel comfortable that your group is not going to be destructive in any way, that the possibility of theft is never an issue, and that you won't be noisy or rude.
Treat any client and witness with the utmost respect. Listen to their reports of experiences carefully and seriously. Every member of your group should be especially mindful of this when investigating a private residence.
Be respectful of your team members. Someone else who needs your respect is the investigatee - the ghost or spirit that might be haunting a location.
5. Thou Shalt Not Venture Off On Your Own
We have heard the news reports of ghost investigators who have gone off on their own and gotten seriously injured - even killed. When your ghost hunting team splits up to cover various areas of a location, they should always be in groups of two or more. Safety is a primary reason.
6. Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness
For those who don't know, bearing false witness means lying. And if you're going to falsify, exaggerate, or otherwise alter evidence, then why are you doing ghost investigation? These investigations are about trying to find the truth about a possible haunting as best we can.
7. Thou Shalt Be Skeptical
Be diligent in trying to debunk gathered evidence. Find plausible explanations; do not automatically jump to a paranormal explanation. Being skeptical will make any possibly genuine evidence all the more valuable.
8. Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Evidence
In other words, do not steal from other ghost-hunting groups. Many groups with websites have found that their evidence - EVP, pictures, etc. - has been "borrowed" by other groups without giving credit where it is due. Do not take evidence from other groups.
9. Thou Shalt Know Thy Limits
It doesn't happen very often, but on occasion a ghost investigation can get rather intense. Phenomena might be taking place that you do not have the experience or skills to deal with. Know your limitations on what you are able to handle. You might have to call in or turn over the investigation to a more experienced investigator, particularly if there are physical attacks.
10. Thou Shalt Be Professional at All Times
This last Commandment is one that overarches and includes all the others: Be professional. You want your ghost-hunting group to be respectful and respected, to be honest and forthright, to be ethical and have the highest degree of integrity. Without these things, your group is doomed to failure and will have contributed little if nothing to the search for truth in this field.
Corollary or 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Charge for Thy Investigations. No group should charge a client for an investigation. Period. Not one dime. In special circumstances, if your group is being asked by a client to travel a long distance to conduct an investigation, the client might offer to pay part of the transportation costs, but this should not be a requirement.

Spicy Cashews
Mar/Apr 2009
I love cashews. This recipe tosses the cashews with fresh lime juice, chiles and fresh cilantro for a wonderful finger food with drinks.
1 c. fresh raw whole cashews
½ t. Maldon or other sea salt
3 T. coarsely chopped shallots
3 T. thinly sliced green onion
1 - 2 t. dried red chile flakes
2 T. freshly squeezed lime juice
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro, chives, or Thai basil
In a large sauté pan without oil over medium heat, toast your cashew nuts, sprinkled with salt, until they begin to colour a nice golden brown (you can do this in a 400°F oven too). Remove from the pan and set aside. Toss the shallots, green onions and chile flakes together in a bowl. When the nuts have cooled a bit but are still warm, add them to the shallot mixture along with the lime juice and cilantro. Toss well and mound the cashew salad onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature to crunch on with drinks.

Max Imapact, United States Air Force Band, Will Perform Free Show at WH Lyon Fairgrounds June 25
Max Impact covers classic rock, new rock, and country hits. They've written and recorded their own music and performed all over the world from their Washington D.C. base. I know you're thinking that D.C. isn't exactly the hot bed for bands to set up home base if they're playing to global audiences. They're there because music is their second occupation. Max Impact is the United States Air Force's premier band. And they're coming to Sioux Falls for a free show Wednesday June 25th at the WH Lyon Fairgrounds.
Max Impact has played for troops everywhere, but they are embarking on their first U.S. Tour, playing across the upper midwest! This FREE concert doesn't even require you to pick up a ticket in advance. Just come to the WH Lyon Fairgrounds Wednesday June 25 at 7pm.
Through national tours, local performances, recordings and deployments, Max Impact showcases Air Force excellence to millions each year. Between public performances, they are often called on to support events for the White House, State Department, Department of Defense and numerous other high-level military and civilian functions.
In addition to entertaining military and civilian audiences in the United States, Max Impact thrills service members with its trademark high-intensity, hard-rocking music at forward deployed locations. These performances are a much-needed "taste of home" for deployed service members. At home or abroad, their high-energy performances enhance troop morale, build partnerships with local and foreign communities, increase recruiting and retention efforts and inspire patriotism using effective and powerful music.
As part of The U.S. Air Force Band, these Airmen musicians honor those who have served, inspire American citizens to heightened patriotism and service, and positively impact the global community on behalf of the U.S. Air Force and the United States of America. The excellence demonstrated by these Airmen musicians is a reflection of the excellence carried out by Airmen stationed around the globe.
We hope to see a big crowd at the Fairgrounds Wednesday June 25th at 7pm for the free concert from Max Impact! Here's a taste of some of their original music.

How to choose the best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in South Lake Tahoe
How do you pick the best fit for your nasal surgeon in South Lake Tahoe? Select a doctor who has passed the stringent levels of competence by the Rhinoplasty Society. Membership in this elite group of rhinoplasty surgeons is by invitation only. This group of elite level surgeons is the highest rated in the globe.
Make sure and inspect a prospective rhinoplasty surgeon's portfolio when considering selecting them for your surgery. Patients consider rhinoplasty for many reason, from a traumatic accident, to something as simple as plain old cosmetic surgery. Everyone wants to look their best, after all!
The training and commitment necessary to become a masterful rhinoplasty surgeon is second to none. Prospective specialists must become knowledgeable and proficient in the area of plastic and reconstructive surgery or Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. Many surgeons will offer a free consultation, and you should weigh your options heavily.
The history of rhinoplasty goes back thousands of years. Rhinoplasty surgeons have come a long way since their Aryuvedic origins, around 800 BC. In the 18th century, a procedure known as a free flap graft was created, rediscovering the interest in nasal surgery which was sparked in antiquity. This procedure often featured fixing deviated septums and had many health benefits for the patient. These benefits, of course, are always far in the future when considering your upcoming surgery date.
What is the difference between cosmetic surgery and rhinoplasty?
What's the big deal between cosmetic surgery and just a regular old rhinoplasty? The desired outcome is different. While a rhinoplasty surgeon in South Lake Tahoe may be focused on fixing perceived cosmetic defects, the cosmetic surgeon in South Lake Tahoe may be more skilled at fixing breathing issues. Make sure to talk in depth with your surgeon before deciding on whether or not to move forward with him or her.

I am looking for confirmations from other Drupal developers regarding details and corroborations. Comments are welcome here. PHBs need not worry, your Drupal site is just fine.
This post is about an inherent problem with Google's recently announced "Speed-as-a-ranking-feature" and its problems with content-management systems like Drupal and Wordpress. For an auto-generated website, Google is often the first and only visitor to a lot of pages. Since Drupal spends a lot of time in the first render of the page, Google will likely see this delay. This is both due to a problem with how Drupal generates pages, and Google's metric.
Google recently announced that as a part of it's quest to making the web a faster place, it will penalize slow websites in its ranking:
today we're including a new signal in our search ranking algorithms: site speed. Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests.
Since Google's nice enough to provide webmaster tools, I looked up how my site was doing, and got this disappointing set of numbers:
I'm aware 3 seconds is too long. Other Drupal folks have reported ~600ms averages. My current site does under 1s second on average based on my measurements. This is probably because I occasionally have some funky experiments going on in some parts of the site that run expensive queries. Still, some other results were surprising:
Investigating further, it looks like there are 3 problems:
DNS issues & Multiple CSS: Since Google Analytics is on a large number of websites, so I'm expecting their DNS to be prefetched. CSS is not an issue since the 2 files are client media specific(print / screen).
GZip Compression: Now this is very odd. I'm pretty sure I have gzip compression enabled in Drupal (Admin > Performance > Compression). Why is Google reporting lack of compression? To check, I ran some tests, and discovered that since Google usually sees the page before it's cached, it's getting a non-gzipped version. This happens due to the way Drupal's cache behaves, and is fixable. Ordinarily, this is a small problem, since uncached pages are rendered for only the first visitor. But since Google is the first visitor to a majority of the pages in a less popular site, it thinks the entire site is uncompressed. I've started a bug report for the uncached page gzip problem.
A flawed metric: The other problem is that Drupal (and Wordpress etc) use a fry model ; pages are generated on the fly per request. On the other hand, Movable Type, etc., bake their pages beforehand, so anything served up doesn't go through the CMS. Caching in fry-based systems is typically done on the first-render, i.e. the first visit to a page is generated from scratch and written to the database/filesystem, any successive visitor to that page will see a render from the cache.
Since the Googlebot is usually the first (and only) visitor to many pages in a small site, the average crawl would hit a large number of pages where Drupal is writing things to cache for the next visitor. This means every page Googlebot visits costs a write to the database. While afaik Drupal runs
page_set_cache after rendering the entire page and hence the user experience is snappy, I'm assuming Google counts time to connection close and not the closing </html> tag, resulting in a bad rendering time evaluation.
This means that Google's Site Speed is not representative of the average user(i.e. second, third, fourth etc visitors that read from the cache), it only represents the absolute worst case situation for the website, which is hardly a fair metric. (Note that this is based on my speculation of what Site Speed means, based on the existing documentation.)

Criminal Procedure
Geox Mjaylon7 In China Original Cheap Price Looking For Cheap Online 85Mxzii7
n. the examination of facts and law presided over by a judge (or other magistrate, such as a commissioner or judge pro tem) with authority to hear the matter (jurisdiction). A trial begins with the calling of the parties to come and be heard and selection of a jury if there is a jury. Each party is entitled to an opening statement by his/her attorney (or the party if he/she is representing himself/herself), limited to an outline of what each side intends to prove (the defense may withhold the opening statement until the defense is ready to present evidence), followed by the presentation of evidence first by the plaintiff or prosecution (in a criminal case), followed by the defense evidence, and then by rebuttal evidence by the plaintiff or prosecution to respond to the defense. At the conclusion of all evidence each attorney (plaintiff or prosecution first) can make a final argument which can include opinion and comment on evidence and legal questions. If it is a jury trial, the judge will give the jury a series of instructions as to the law of the case, based on "jury instructions" submitted by the attorneys and approved, rejected, modified and/or added to by the judge. Then the jury retires to the jury room, chooses a foreperson, and decides the factual questions. If there is no jury, the judge will determine legal issues and decide factual questions and render a judgment. A jury will judge the factual issues and decide the verdict based on the law as given in the instructions by the judge. Final verdict or judgment usually concludes the trial, although in some criminal cases a further trial will be held to determine "special circumstances" (acts which will increase the punishment) or whether the death penalty should be imposed. Throughout a trial there may be various motions on legal issues, some of which may be argued in the judge's chambers. In most criminal cases the exact punishment will be determined by the judge at a hearing held at a later time.
TRIAL, practice., The examination before a competent tribunal, according to the laws, of the land, of the facts put in issue in a cause, for the purpose of determining such issue. 4 Mason, 232. 2. There are various kinds of trial, the most common of which is trial by jury. To insure fairness this mode of trial lust be in public; it is conducted by selecting a jury in the manner prescribed by the local statutes, who must be sworn to try the matter in dispute according to law, and the evidence. Evidence is then given by the party on whom rests the onus probandi or burden of the proof, as the witnesses are called by a party they are questioned by him, and after they have been examined, which is called an examination in chief, they are subject to a cross-examination by the other party as to every part of their testimony. Having examined all his witnesses, the party who supports the affirmative of the issue closes; and the other party then calls his witnesses to explain his case or support his part of the issue these are in the same manner liable to a cross- examination. In case the parties should differ as to what is to be given in evidence, the judge, must decide the matter, and his decision is conclusive upon the parties so far as regards the trial; but, in civil cases, a bill of exceptions (q.v.) way be taken, so that the matter may be examined before another tribunal. When the evidence has been closed, the counsel for the party who supports the affirmative of the issue, then addresses the jury, by recapitulating the evidence and applying the law to the facts, and showing on what particular points he rests his case. The opposite counsel then addresses the jury, enforcing in like manner the facts and the law as applicable to his side of the case; to which the other counsel has a right to reply. It is then the duty of the judge to sum up the evidence and explain to the jury the law applicable to the case this is called his charge. (q.v.) The jurors then retire to deliberate upon their verdict, and, after having agreed upon it, they come into court and deliver it in public. In case they cannot agree they may, in cases of necessity, be discharged: but, it is said, in capital cases they cannot be. Very just and merited encomiums have been bestowed on this mode of trial, particularly in criminal cases. Livingston's Rep. on the Plan of a Penal Code, 13 3 Story, Const. 1773. The learned Duponceau has given beautiful sketch of this tribunal; "twelve invisible judges," said he, "whom the eye of the corrupter cannot see, and the influence of the powerful cannot reach, for they are nowhere to be found, until the moment when the balance of justice being placed in their bands, they hear, weigh, determine, pronounce, and immediately disappear, and are lost in the crowd of their fellow citizens." Address at the opening of the Law Academy at Philadelphia. Vide, generally, 4 Com. Dig. 783; 7 Id. 522; 21 Vin. Ab. 1 Bac. Ab. h.t.; 1 Sell. Pr. 405 4 Bl. Com. ch. 27; Chit. Pr. Index, h.t. 3 Bl. Com. ch. 22; 15 Serg. R. 61; 22 Vin. Ab. h.t. See Discharge of jury; Jury. 3. Trial by certificate. By the English law, this is a mode of trial allowed in such cases where the evidence of the person certifying is the only proper criterion of the point in dispute. For, when the fact in question lies out of the cognizance of the court, the judges must rely on the solemn averments or information of persons in such station, as affords them the most clear and complete knowledge of the truth. 4. As therefore such evidence, if given to a jury, must have been conclusive, the law, to save trouble and circuity, permits the fact to be determined upon such certificate merely. 3 Bl. Com. 333; Steph. Pl. 122. 5. Trial by the grand assize. This kind of trial is very similar to the common trial by jury. There is only one case in which it appears ever to have been applied, and there it is still in force. 6. In a writ of right, if the defendant by a particular form of plea appropriate to the purpose, (see the plea, 3 Chitty, 652,) denied the right of the demandant, as claimed, he had the option, till the recent abolition of the extravagant and barbarous method of wager by battel, of either offering battel or putting himself on the grand assize, to try whether he or the demandant "had the greater right." The latter course he may still take; and, if he does, the court award a writ for summoning four knights to make the election of twenty other recognitors. The four knights and twelve of the recognitors so elected, together making a jury of sixteen, constitute what is called the grand assise; and when assembled, they proceed to try the issue, or (as it is called in this case) the mise, upon the question of right. The trial, as in the case of a common jury, may be either at the bar or nisi prius; and if at nisi prius, a nisi prius record is made up; and the proceedings are in either case, in general, the same as where there is a common jury. See Wils. R. 419, 541; 1 Holt's N. P. Rep. 657; 3 Chitty's Pl. 635; 2 Saund. 45 e; 1 Arch. 402. Upon the issue or mise of right, the wager of battel or the grand assise was, till the abolition of the former, and the latter still is, the only legitimate method of trial; and the question cannot be tried by a jury in the common form. 1 B. P. 192. See 3 Bl. Com. 351. 7. Trial by inspection or examination. This trial takes place when for the greater expedition of a cause, in some point or issue being either the principal question or arising collaterally out of it, being evidently the object of sense, the judges of the court, upon the testimony of their own senses, shall decide the point in dispute. For where the affirmative or negative of a question is matter of such obvious determination, it is not thought necessary to summon a jury to decide it; who are properly called in to inform the conscience of the court in respect of dubious facts, and, therefore, when the fact, from its nature, must be evident to the court either from ocular demonstration or other irrefragable proof, there the law departs from its usual resort, the verdict of twelve men, and relies ou the judgment alone. For example, if a defendant pleads in abatement of the suit that the plaintiff is dead, and one appears and calls himself the plaintiff, which the defendant denies; in this case the judges shall determine by inspection and examination whether be be the plaintiff or not. 9 Co. 30; 3 Bl. Com. 331; Steph. Pl. 123. 8. Judges of courts of equity frequently decide facts upon mere inspection. The most familiar examples are those of cases where the plaintiff prays an injunction on an allegation of piracy or infringement of a patent or copyright. 5 Ves. 709; 12 Ves. 270, and the cases there cited. And see 2 Atk. 141; 2 B. C. 80; 4 Ves. 681; 2 Russ. R. 385; 1 V. B. 67; Cro. Jac. 230; 1 Dall. 166. 9. Trial by the record. This trial applies to cases where an issue of nul tiel record is joined in any action. If, on one side, a record be asserted to exist, and the opposite party deny its existence, under the form of traverse, that there is no such record remaining in court, as alleged, and issue be joined thereon, this is called an issue of nul tiel record; and the court awards, in such case, a trial by inspection and examination of the record: Upon this the party, affirming its existence, is bound to produce it in court, on a day given for the purpose, and if he fail to do so, judgment is given for his adversary. 10. The trial by record is not only in use when an issue of this kind happens to arise for decision, but it is the only legitimate mode of trying such issue, and the parties cannot put themselves upon the country. Steph. Pl. 122; 2 Bl. Com. 330. 11. Trial by wager of battel. In the old English law, this was a barbarous mode of trying facts, among a rude people, founded on the supposition that heaven would always interpose, and give the victory to the champions of truth and innocence. This mode of trial was abolished in England as late as the stat. 59 Geo. III., c. 46, A. D. 1818. It never was in force in the United States. See 8 Bl. Com. 337; 1 Hale's Hist. 188; see a modern case, 1 B. A. 405. 12. Trial by wager of law. This mode of trial has fallen into complete disuse; but in point of law, it seems, in England, to be still competent in most cases to which is anciently applied. The most important and best established of these cases, is, the issue of nil debet, arising in action of debt of simple contract, or the issue of non detinet, in an action of detinue. In the declaration in these actions, as in almost all others, the plaintiff concludes by offering his suit (of which the ancient meaning was followers or witnesses, though the words are now retained as mere form,) to prove the truth of his claim. On the other hand, if the defendant, by a plea of nil debet or non detinet, deny the debt or detention, be may conclude by offering to establish the truth of such plea, "against the plaintiff and his suit, in such manner as the court shall direct." Upon this the court awards the wager of law; Co. Ent. 119 a; Lill. Ent. 467; 3 Chit. Pl. 479; and the form of this proceeding, when so awarded, is that the defendant brings into court with him eleven of his neighbors, and for himself, makes oath that he does not owe the debt or detain the property alleged and then the eleven also swear that they believe him to speak the truth; and the defendant is then entitled to judgment. 3 Bl. Com. 343; Steph. Pl. 124. Blackstone compares this mode of trial to the canonical purgation of the catholic clergy, and to the decisory oath of the civil, law. See Oath, decisory. 13. Trial by witnesses. This species of trial by witnesses, or per testes, is without the intervention of a jury 14. This is the only method of trial known to the civil law, in which the judge is left to form in his own breast his sentence upon the credit of the witnesses examined; but it is very rarely used in the common law, which prefers the trial by jury in almost every instance. 15. In England, when a widow brings a writ of dower, and the tenant pleads that the tenant is not dead, this being looked upon as a dilatory plea, is, in favor of the widow, and for greater expedition, allowed to be tried by witnesses examined before the judges; and so, says Finch, shall no other case in our law. Finch's Law, 423. But Sir Edward Coke mentions others: as to try whether the tenant in a real action was duly summoned; or the validity of a challenge to a juror; so that Finch's observation must be confined to the trial of direct and not collateral issues. And in every case, Sir Edward Coke lays it down, that the affirmative must be proved by two witnesses at least. 3 Bl. Com. 336.
Problems kept away.
Or chose:
Over 2000 km = planet; then Pluto, Eris are planets, Ceres is not and remains a dwarf planet. We have 10 planets.
Oh, and as to "why cut off and why?" the two proposed solutions (or 3 if you want the 2500 km value) are based on:
1) Self rounding.
2) Somebody hates planets in the vicinity of KBOs.
The self rounding is interesting. Clearly for a water droplet it's about 1 cm. But for gasses even less. For rocks, it takes a lot more gravity. So usually folks talk about "self rounding rocky" but then "which rocks" matters. It's "about" 2000 km diameter but with things like gravel self rounding at less than that and iron at more. So you want "self rounding" but the exact number will be a cherry pick in any case. Just make it more than 2000 km for most kinds of large rocks.
Now for #2, if you want Pluto, Eris, and any other KBO found kept out of the planet club just make the definition a big enough diameter to keep Mercury IN and Pluto OUT. That's 4000 km diameter. Bigger than 2000 km, so definitely self rounding. Big enough it's hard to say anything that big orbiting a star is NOT a planet. Keeps KBOs out of the club. Unless you found some really big think in the far reaches but then I'd assert an Earth sized KBO really ought to be called a planet anyway.
For examples of theoretical planet shapes (and why you really just want to pick a diameter or a mass as your cut-off value to avoid messes…) see:
Somebody hates planets in the vicinity of KBOs
It's the which-is-which problem
THE GIANT PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM STUNTED THE GROWTH OF MARS Article written: 10 May, 2018
These simulations incorporated recent geological evidence from Mars and Earth that indicate that Mars' formation period was about 1/10th that of Earth's. This has led to the theory that Mars was left behind as a "stranded planetary embryo" during the formation of the Sun's inner planets.
The orbit period of this oddball is about 2 years longer than Pluto's…
A "Weirdo" Asteroid Has Been Found In The Outer Solar System That Isn't Supposed To Be There 09 MAY 2018
Astronomers say they have detected an asteroid beyond the orbit of Pluto that is in the wrong place. But while odd, it could tell us more about our own beginnings.
Favoritenstraße is one buzzing street, and a boisterous one by Vienna standards. Here you'll find almost all big brand chain stores squeezed in amongst the eclectic mix of small, international, cheap and questionable quality shops serving the multicultural community living in the district. The street is loud, and it seems most people are just hanging around for the sake of it with not much to do. It smells like Kebab and Turkish bakeries up and down it. Just sitting in a café, or on a bench, and becoming one with the spectacle of this street will have you experiencing a different side to Vienna.
Where: Rotenhofgasse 4, 1100 Opening times: TUE–SAT: 10am–10pm, SUN–MON: closedOpening times:
Amongst the multicultural vibe that dominates Vienna's 10th district, Austrian gems are still very present. We asked around a lot to find this one. We wanted a good old Viennese restaurant and literally found it – Zum Alten Beisl means "to the old pub". The inside is modest, but cosy and has that homey feel of a typical Beisl. A quiet garden is hiding out the back between buildings. These guys know what they're doing when it comes to great, hearty Viennese dishes. The lunch menu costs 7,90€ and includes soup and a main dish, which is typically a variation of Schnitzel or steak. However, heroes of this place can be found in the section of the menu entitled Wiener G'schichten (Viennese stories), where Tafelspitz, Wiener Gulasch and the adventurous roast kidney can be found. Yep, we said kidney, and it also comes deep-fried. Bon Appetit!
Where: Reumannplatz 13, 1100 Opening times: Daily: 10am–11pm
These guys not only invented the famous Eis-Marillen-Knödel (an ice cream version of the Austrian apricot dumpling dish), but it also seems they invented the time machine. Their legendary ice cream creations (like Spaghetti Eis), or the simple ice cream in a cone or cup, is served by motherly waitresses in white and pink striped dresses, the types that will smile gently when you're nice but let you know when you're in the wrong. There always seems to be a queue on sunny days so you better know your order before you're next in line. If you can't make up your minds just go with classics like chocolate or hazelnut. The atmosphere at Tichy transports you to a world in which a scoop of ice cream makes everything better.
Where: Reumannplatz 23, 1100 Opening times: see details, .
There is a unique swimming pool in the 10th district that goes by the name Amalienbad. It's housed in the classy looking building – complete with clock tower – overlooking Reumannplatz. Inside, a true 20th century design masterpiece can be found, where wood meets ceramics, and beautiful mosaics. There is an odd symmetry playing out here everywhere you look that reminds us of a Wes Anderson movie set. It gets pretty crowded in the evening, but during the daytime, you can go for a relatively peaceful swim in the beauty that is the Amalienbad.

To paraphrase President Abraham Lincoln, it is altogether fitting and proper that we find an increased dedication to the cause for which New York Court of Appeals Judge George F. Danforth gave his last full measure of devotion - namely, the noble and just practice of law. In 1899, ten years after his constitutionally-required retirement from the Court of Appeals, Judge Danforth was stricken after concluding an argument before the State Supreme Court in Rochester, New York, and died hours later. At his Court of Appeals memorial, it was noted that "it was an appropriate end to so great a legal career that he should be called to his last account while expounding the law in a court of justice."1 Moreover, it is appropriate to associate President Lincoln's words with Judge Danforth, as the Judge was steadfastly committed to the equal treatment of African-Americans in the post-Civil War era, a position expressed thoughtfully, eloquently, and - ultimately - correctly in his dissent in People ex rel. King v. Gallagher (93 NY 438, 458-466 [1883] ). Rejecting the majority's holding - which upheld the constitutionality of separate but equal education laws in New York - Judge Danforth stated that "it cannot . . . be doubted that [separate but equal education] when enforced by law against the wish of the colored race, is directly calculated to keep alive the prejudice against color from which sprung many of the evils for the suppression of which the fourteenth amendment and our own civil rights statute were enacted" (id. at 645).2
George Franklin Danforth was born in Boston, Massachusetts on July 5, 1819. He graduated from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and later, while on the Court, served as the President of the Union College Alumni Association. After graduation, Danforth studied law with Jasper W. Gilbert of Rochester, who would later become a Kings County Supreme Court Justice.3 Shortly after his arrival in Rochester, Danforth played an integral role in the establishment of the First Unitarian Congregation Society of Rochester.
Judge Danforth's reputation for hard-work and integrity grew, especially in the Rochester area. His profile was raised considerably by his involvement with a suit in connection with the Elmira Reformatory. Representing New York State, he doggedly pursued the case and garnered a verdict enabling the State to avoid fulfillment of inflated and extravagant contracts for construction of the Reformatory, saving the taxpayers over one million dollars.4 This reputation stood him in good stead when, in 1875, he was the Republican nominee for Attorney General. Although he lost, he received the support of a great number of Monroe County Democrats.5
In 1876, after his name was floated as a possible gubernatorial candidate, the Republicans nominated him as a candidate for the Court of Appeals. During that campaign, political opponents characterized Danforth as a friend of the corrupt New York City Democratic machine run by "Boss" Tweed, and he lost to Judge Robert Earl. However, in 1878, he was elected to the Court in a wave of anti-Tammany Hall sentiment in New York, and pro-Republican sentiment nationwide.6 His election to the Court of Appeals was broadly heralded. The Albany Law Journal stated that his election "adds to [the Court] a man every way worthy of the position. He possesses . . . that power and turn of mind and cast of character which go to make the 'judge' par excellence. So long as such men are elected to judicial office, the arguments in favor of an appointive judiciary will be robbed of their force."7
While on the Court, Judge Danforth authored a number of notable decisions in addition to his Gallagher dissent. His decision in Story v. New York Elevated R.R. (90 NY 122 [1882]), which addressed the rights of plaintiffs contending that the construction of an elevated railroad would interfere with access to and enjoyment of their properties, as well as access to light and air, established the concept of nuisance claim as a property right. Cited nearly 400 times by courts and legal scholars, Judge Danforth's opinion continues to be a staple of treatises and articles examining eminent domain. Similarly, his decision in Duplex Safety Boiler Co. v. Garden (101 NY 387 [1886]) - which stated "that which the law will say a contacting party ought in reason to be satisfied with, the law will say he is satisfied with" (id. at 390) - is a cornerstone citation in a number of contracts treatises.
Judge Danforth's time on the Court of Appeals also marked the appearance of several fixtures that remain with the Court. In January of 1884, the Court first heard arguments in the grand and wonderful courtroom it occupies today, although, at the time, the courtroom was on the third floor of the State Capital; it was not until 1917 that the courtroom was painstakingly relocated to the Court of Appeals Hall. David Dudley Field, the driving force behind the New York Code of Procedure, had the privilege of being the first attorney to address the Court in the new courtroom, and he presented resolutions on behalf of the New York State Bar Association suggesting that the Judges wear formal robes. The following month, the Judges donned robes, and continue to do so.
When he left the Court, owing to his age, the prominent legal publication The Green Bag stated that "[i]f all men were like him at seventy there could be no question of the unwisdom" of requiring Judges of the Court to leave upon turning seventy.8 The Albany Law Journal suggested that Judge Danforth "would make a good United States Senator. He is at the height of his mental and physical powers, and has many of the qualifications of a statesman. A man of his gifts and experience should occupy a sphere of larger usefulness than that of an advocate in the courts."9
The legal framework organizing and controlling the judiciary continued to play a prominent role in Judge Danforth's career after he left the Court. He was Chairman of the Commission on Constitutional Revision examining the Judiciary Article of the New York State Constitution. The Commission's recommendations, which became part of the Constitution of 1894, established the four Appellate Divisions, and set fixed and limited jurisdiction for the Court of Appeals.10
Perhaps the best portrait of Judge Danforth can be culled from his own words. At a dinner given in his honor by members of the Rochester Bar upon his election to the Court, he said "[w]e feel the profession of the law to be the highest recognized in the State, to which all other professions defer. There is also none lower, for it extends its hand to aid the lowest. We have seen in the career of those who now adorn and honor the Bench that the change of the advocate from the Bar to the court is like turning the ring upon the finger - the glitter of the stone is lost, but more of the gold is seen."11
Judge Danforth had six children; unfortunately, three of them died within a two-week period in 1859. His sole surviving son, Henry Gold Danforth, was a lawyer and a three-time member of the House of Representatives, serving the Rochester area. John Joseph May traced the genealogy of the Danforth family back to the late 16th century England in a book published in 1902, but no living progeny have been identified as yet.

Last Home Meet of Indoor Season to Provide Good Competition
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This Friday and Saturday Yale will host the annual Giegengack Invitational at Coxe Cage. The meet draws many NCAA Division I schools from around the area, and is always an exciting precursor to the championship season. The Yale women's track and field team is ready to show what they can do on their home track.
The Bulldogs last competed at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games on Jan. 29, hosted by Northeastern University. Highlights of that meet included All-American junior Kate Grace's ECAC-qualifying win in the mile run (4:56.34), and freshman Adele Jackson-Gibson's second-place finish in the 55-meter dash (7.24).
The Giegengack is a stepping-stone to the championship season; like the Heptagonals Championship and the ECAC Championship, the meet is two days long.
The Bulldogs will face some of the toughest competition they will see all season. The visitors include Ivy League rival Brown, Central Connecticut State, Colgate, Fordham, La Salle, Monmouth, New Haven, Providence, Rutgers, Sacred Heart, Southern Connecticut State, St. Joseph's, Stony Brook, UConn and UMass-Amherst.
Many Bulldogs will compete in their specialty event this weekend, rather than racing other similar distances as some have been.
Grace, for example, should be competing in the 800-meter run for the first time this season. Grace holds the school record in the event - 2:04.72 - from her performance in the qualifying round of the NCAA Championships last March. Grace has not yet reached her peak level of performance this season, and it will be interesting to see how she does in her signature event.
Senior Claudia Duncan has been running well in 400- and 500-meter dashes; she holds the school record in the 500-meter dash at 1:13.31, and was All-East last year. Duncan might run the 800-meter run this weekend, though freshman Annalies Gamble will certainly compete in the event. Gamble and Duncan have mostly run together this season, and Gamble made it onto Yale's all-time indoor top-10 list in a 1:16.57 performance - just .53 seconds away from an ECAC qualifying time, which she'll be trying to achieve this weekend.
Jackson-Gibson will also be trying to post impressive marks in the sprints (this weekend, the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes) and the long jump. Also competing for top spots in the sprints is sophomore Alexa Monti, who is on Yale's all-time list in the 200-meter dash (26.00).
Yale will be testing its relay teams. Last year the Bulldogs won both the distance medley relay and the 4x400 meter relay (there is no 4x800 meter relay at the meet). The team showed great depth in middle distance early on, and Yale will again be fielding three teams in the 4x4. As the last event of the day, the relay could go many ways.
The meet will begin at 5 p.m on Friday with the women's high jump and the 5,000-meter run, followed by the 200-meter dash and the distance medley relay. On Saturday field events will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the shot put, and running events commence at 11:50 a.m. with the 3,000-meter run. Competition will continue until 5:40 p.m., when the 4x400 meter relay will close the day. A complete schedule of events can be found here.
Fans can take a bus to Coxe Cage from Payne Whitney Gymnasium every 30 minutes. Results will be posted on YaleBulldogs.com and DirectAthletics.com at the end of each day.
Report by Kyle Eichner '12, Yale Sports Publicity
The Giegengack Invitational is named in honor of legendary Yale track and field coach Bob Giegengack. In his 29 years at Yale, the USA Track and Field Hall of Famer led the Elis to 183 victories, four IC4A titles, and 13 outdoor and four indoor Heptagonal championships. Teacher, coach, philosopher, tireless storyteller and international leader in track and field, Bob Giegengack spent more than 40 fruitful, exciting years in a career he loved. Helping talented young people to excel, both in their sport and in their studies, met his highest ideals. He trained his athletes, encouraged them and taught them strategies for success, always with the goal of mens sana in corpore sano, a healthy mind in a healthy body. From each athlete, he demanded the best effort possible, not just for the sake of individual achievement, but also for the good of the team. Beginning with his high school students at Brooklyn Prep, then at Fordham and Yale, and as an Olympic coach in Melbourne (1956) and Tokyo (1964), "Gieg" worked to fulfill his personal ideals as a teacher, mentor and competitor. After his retirement in 1976, he coached Yale's first women's team. The Giegengack legacy of talent, devotion and high ideals lives on at Yale today.

DELHI: The 268 employees of Air India currently stationed in its 24-storey eponymous building at Nariman Point in Mumbai have a rare privilege no other office-goer in the area can think of.
Each employee, stationed across the 14 floors that the public sector carrier occupies in the building, has a built up area of roughly 840 sq ft to oneself.
This area — equivalent to the size of a mid-size flat — is the largesse the Maharaja has been able to afford his employees in the island city, known as the most expensive real estate market in the country.
In response to an query filed by The Indian Express under the Right to Information Act, Air India said that it occupies 14 floors in the building for its own use and has currently got 268 employees working in the building, which makes it just 19 employees per floor.
Apparently each floor in the building has a built up area of roughly 16,000 sq ft. The total built up area of the building is 3,88,310 sq ft.
Air India also said that at its peak, 1,500 to 2,000 employees worked in the building and if one assumes that all 24 floors were occupied by the airline, then that would have made it 83 employees per floor.
The number of employees stationed in the building also seems to be on a decline. While the number stood at 300 as on March 31, 2013, it fell to 268 in just one quarter.
The commercial use of the building also seems to be sub-optimal. The company has only managed to put up only 6 floors on rent leaving four floors still vacant.
Four floors have been leased by State Bank of India and two by TCS, along with parts of two other floors that the IT major shares with Bank of India.
The vacant floors mean that almost 64,000 sq ft area is lying vacant and at an average rental of Rs 337.5 per sq ft. that Air India is currently getting from its existing tenants, it is losing out on

First of all, and maybe this is just me, but I never have had this problem. Maybe for like a second ("was he talking to me? oh no he's on his phone") but usually the funny phone thing is when someone is on a hands free thing and you don't see it so you just think they are very very angry and very very schizophrenic.
The graph is too much. Look Randall, I know you like taking things like emotions and making them empirical but this is just a little much. No reason for you to jump from "sometime THIS awkward thing happens" to "thus, I will graph it!" And adding the fact that apparently your second relationship was...what, a very long conversation? The graph doesn't even make sense. It's way out to the right, so I guess that means it was a very long conversation, and it blips up a little bit, so I guess that means your relationship didn't happen very often? Better just to leave the joke out...
Also, while there's nothing wrong with the stick figure example in theory, I think the "Bernanke" reference is also too much. No relation to the comic at all, just totally random and smacking of "oh man I want to totally be current let's see now who is in the news oh goodness yes, that will work just fine." It seems way too much like the guy at the party trying and failing to look like he knows what's going on in the world.
So, in short, a comic full of parts that are slightly off, adding up to a whole that just feels all wrong and not funny. THE END.
