One of those weeks for Woods, Sorenstam honored, getting ready for the Open, Weir's risky shot
DUBLIN, Ohio – For the second day in a row, Tiger Woods made a triple bogey before he had a birdie.
"It wasn't that bad today," he said. "It was just one hole that cost me, obviously, a few shots."
Woods, stricken with an erratic touch on the greens for most of the week, continued to struggle to find his game early in Sunday's final round of the Memorial Tournament.
It took nine holes to make a triple-bogey 7 on Saturday. A day later, it took three.
After opening with two pars, Woods' iron shot to the signature par-3 12th found the back bunker. Faced with an awkward stance — his left leg extended and his right knee resting on the edge of the trap — he advanced the ball just 15 feet, but at least improved his stance.
"I was just trying to put the ball against the face on the upslope on the other side so I had a chance to spin the next one," Woods said. "It actually rolled back on the bottom where there's no sand."
From there he blasted out, the ball running down a swale in the middle of the green, rolling to the first cut.
From 14 feet, however, he three-putted for the triple.
"I hit a decent (second shot from the sand) and it obviously skipped by," Woods said. "The first (putt) was awful; just bad speed. The second putt I pulled as well."
The five-time Memorial winner and defending champion regrouped with five birdies against one bogey the rest of the way, but the damage had already been done. His closing even-par 72 left him at 8-over and a tie for 65th, 20 shots behind winner Matt Kuchar.
It was the farthest Woods had finished behind a winner in a full-field event since his first year as a pro (1996) when he was 20 shots off the pace set by Tom Lehman at The Tour Championship.
He had sagged to an 8-over 44 on the back nine in Saturday's third round — the worst nine-hole score he has had since turning pro. That was part of a 79, which matched the second-worst score he's had since playing for pay.
His score of 296 was his worst in 14 trips to the Memorial — eight shots higher than his previous high.
OVERHEARD: On the 11th tee, a spectator saw the mass of people following Woods' threesome, including several sheriff's deputies, and said, "Look at all the Secret Service agents following him!"
Later, a woman near the 13th green watched Woods approach the green and said, "I don't really believe he wants to be here." Seconds later, she added, "Of course, I think he wanted to leave yesterday."
SORENSTAM IS SELECTED: Each year the Memorial Tournament honors a prominent player or contributor to golf. The honoree this year was Raymond Floyd, a contemporary of tournament founder and host Jack Nicklaus, who won four major championships.
On Sunday, the body which oversees the tournament announced that the 2014 honoree would be former LPGA star Annika Sorenstam.
Sorenstam had 89 worldwide wins — the most by any female. She won 10 major championships in a stellar 15-year career. The Swede was selected as the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year from 2003-2005.
In 2001, she became the first woman to break the 60 barrier, shooting a 13-under 59 in the second round of the Standard Register PING, still the lowest round in LPGA history. From 2001-2005, Sorenstam won 43 times and finished in the top three nearly 70 percent of the time.
After winning three times in 2008, Sorenstam abruptly retired from competitive golf at the age of 37. She and her husband, Mike McGee, have two children.
She will be honored in a ceremony the day before the start of the 2014 Memorial.
LOOKING TO MERION: With the U.S. Open coming up the week after next at Merion, the top players hoped to use the Memorial Tournament as a stepping stone to the next major championship.
Rory McIlroy opened with a 78 and needed to shoot a 69 on Friday just to make the cut at Muirfield Village. He followed that with rounds of 75 and 72 and declared himself primed for the Open.
"It feels OK, actually. I found a couple of little things this weekend," said the world's No. 2-ranked player. "I hit the ball much better today. I actually putted a little better, too. It feels pretty good."
McIlroy said he'll spend a couple of days in the Philadelphia area next week practicing at Merion.
Woods, a spot ahead of McIlroy in the world rankings, is hoping to end a major championship drought that goes all the way back to 2008.
He said he was ready to turn the page after his worst Memorial performance, finishing at 8-over 296.
"It happens. It happens to us all," he said of his bad week. "I'll go home next week and practice."
Asked what he'll work the most on before heading to the Open, he said, "Everything. You want everything clicking on all cylinders, especially at the U.S. Open — because everything is tested at the U.S. Open."
TOP COLLEGIANS: Michael Kim of California, Abilene Christian's Alex Carpenter, Brad Shigezawa of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Oklahoma City's Sondre Ronold and Jake Argento of South Mountain (Ariz.) Community College were introduced on Sunday as the winners of the Jack Nicklaus awards as the top golfers in NCAA Divisions I-III, NAIA and the junior college levels.
Kim flew in from Atlanta, where Cal was competing in the Division I golf championship, for the trophy presentation. He left right after the ceremony to make it in time for a U.S. Open sectional qualifier Monday.
Nicklaus presented the trophies and spoke about his days in the early 1960s playing at Ohio State.
He said he received two $1,000 scholarships playing golf — and he made them last into his senior year.
"College golf was not a big deal then," said the winner of 18 major championships and two U.S. Amateurs. "We played four or five matches against other teams and never played in tournaments. Then we had the Big Ten (tournament) and NCAAs. It was a spring sport only. It just wasn't that big of a deal. But it was big enough to get us here."
GETTING WET: Mike Weir drew a huge round of applause — for not giving up on a difficult shot.
Weir's iron shot to the par-3 16th stuck near the bank of the lake which fronts the green. Rather than take a drop, Weir assayed the situation, stepped back, rolled up his pant legs, took off his shoes and socks and waded in.
"That was maybe the most precarious one that I was actually going to (hit)," the former Masters winner said later while laughing. "Usually there's some sort of a bank and you step a foot in the water and it gradually slopes. If there was a little bit of slope, I could have put my foot down, but it dropped off. I don't know how deep it is but it was deeper than I am tall."
For at least a minute or two, he wobbled and wavered in water almost knee deep, trying to find a foothold as the large gallery surrounding the 16th green watched expectantly.
At least twice he lost his balance and had to steady himself like a daredevil on a high wire. Each time the spectators yelled, moaned and applauded as if they were on a roller-coaster.
"Oh, I was teetering," he said. "I was totally testing my balance."
Finally, he took a wedge and, steadying himself for an instant, took a swing that popped the ball out onto the green 20 or 25 feet past the flag.
The crowd went wild. Weir pumped his fist and laughed.
Later, he thought maybe the spectators were hoping to see him take a swim rather than make a great shot.
"They were hoping, probably, that I fell in. I'm sure they were," he said with a grin. "I was thinking, 'There's 50-50 here' that I was going to go down."
Playing partners McIlroy and Brandt Jobe waited for him to dry off and get his clothing back in order. He went on to bogey the hole, but still got cheers as he walked off to the 17th tee.
DIVOTS: Among those following Tiger Woods in a massive gallery was his girlfriend, Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn. ... The largest U.S. Open sectional qualifier is held in Columbus on Monday at Brookside and The Lakes courses. Players set to compete include former major champions Trevor Immelman, Ben Curtis, Weir and Davis Love III along with 30 or 40 other touring pros. ... James Driscoll and Scott Stallings shot the best rounds of the day, each with a 67. ... Jobe, who had a 68, improved his score by 10 strokes from the third round. ... Kuchar leads the PGA Tour with 35 top-10 finishes since the start of the 2010 season. ... It was the 18th time in the 38 years of the Memorial Tournament that the third-round leader ended up as champion. ... Kevin Chappell, who was second two shots back of Kuchar, had missed the cut in two of his three previous trips to the Memorial and was tied for 37th the only time he played on the weekend. ... Kyle Stanley, who was third, was tied for 37th and missed the cut in his only two times at the Memorial. ... Ryan Moore hit 54 of 56 fairways and finished tied for 13th. ... Chappell's 68 in the final round was the only bogey-free round of the tournament.

Faced with a rapidly changing global market, the product development team at UD Trucks is working hard—and rapidly—on ways to dramatically change how the company will serve a wide variety of customers in many different markets around the globe.
Gemba is written with the Sino-Japanese characters "gen" (現), which means "to appear" or "at present" and is used in such words as genzai ("appearance" plus "presence," i.e. "right now") and gendai ("current" plus "generation," i.e. "modern times"), and "ba" (場), which means a place. When combined to read gemba, the expression literally means the place where someone or something appears.
There are no busier roads in Australia for heavy-duty transport than right within the country's main seaports, with millions of shipping containers arriving and departing—and needing to be transported—each year.
It's a crowded market, with four import truck brands and two domestic already fighting for market share. But autumn 2012 saw the launch of the Quon into Korea—and, with its first owner now ready to get on the road, optimism is high for the brand.
From simple beginnings, Singapore has grown to become one of the key hubs in global transportation. Easy to get around—nowhere is more than an hour away—it's also an important and unusual market for all kinds of trucks.
With his white coat, stethoscope around his neck and friendly face you would feel completely safe putting your life in Patrick Mwangi's hands if you met him in a hospital.
It is one of the mythical places on Earth, where, if you are lucky, you might spot a giraffe or a kudu—the antelope that is a symbol of the area—nibbling on a tree against a blue, mountainous horizon. This is also where UD trucks are extremely popular, having gained a reputation as reliable workhorses that can handle the tough conditions.
A Fukuoka family business took a Minsei Diesel (predecessor to UD Trucks) truck, added a refrigeration unit, and opened up a whole new era for transport and cool storage in Japan

Topic: Disappearing RP
In addition to the disappearance of the chat rooms, one of the RPGs I participate in has also vanished into thin air. I was just wondering why that is...?

In addition to the disappearance of the chat rooms, one of the RPGs I participate in has also vanished into thin air. I was just wondering why that is...?
Which RPG are you talking about?
i have had a similar experince the rpg that vilimar created (think it was vilimar) was called Stranded Clones RPG and i think i was really fun. i have been looking for it for a long time.
The way to get to the chat room: http://www.bobafett.com/sarlaccbar/
The chat room: http://www.bobafett.com/sarlaccbar/chat/
The role playing game was probably deleted.
I did un-sticky a few RPGs that hadn't been touched since Jan, they'd be a page or two back (but still there).
i mean it vanshied and when i asked vilimar about it he said nothing.
The other possibility is if the creator of the post edits the first post and accidentally deletes it, they delete the whole thread.
Ah. Thanks Mel.
I'm referring to the Pod Racing RP. They were almost at the end of the race!!! *tenseness* I've been waiting for the thrilling conclusion for a month!!
Okay, I'm better now. Shall I start it up from where it left off?
I can re-sticky it if you want?
If it's not too much trouble.
That's strange, I can't find it either. Or did you post it under Sarin?
Here's the posts I could find for you: http://www.bobafett.com/boards/search.p … =523422728
thants for your help mel ill probalby start my own. no im to scared i got half way through creating my character then i deleted it. if any one wants to start a clone wars rpg just tell me.
Yah I was a part of the Pod racing rp and it just disappeared after being inactive for awhile. My only guess is that Villimar deleted it.
It's fine. The whole idea was to curb plagiarism on the forums, and it doesn't seem like the help you gave could lead to it .so it's all good.At this point, though, I do prefer to see where the student stands in Alice, like how much they already know, before I start dishing out code examples. For example, someone who's never used Alice before wouldn't know what the Functions Tab is or where to find it, and I'd need to include that in my help post in that case, whereas someone who knew what it is and where to find it would consider it a waste of words and possibly an insult to their intelligence.

Beverly Hills/Bel Air, Los Angeles Guia de Viagem
Beverly Hills Resumo
- Luxury shopping on the famed Rodeo Drive; more affordable shopping a block over on Beverly Drive
- Clean streets, little litter, and few homeless
- Iconic, historic hotels like the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire and The Beverly Hills Hotel
- Fine dining and inexpensive lunch spots
- Centrally located -- a 20- to 30-minute drive from the beach and the Valley, in different directions, and adjacent to Westwood and Culver City.
- Home to the rich and (some) famous
- Valet parking almost everywhere
- No nightlife -- few bars; the area is sleepy at night
- The area's boutique hotels tend to have tiny standard rooms.
- Hotels are pricey for what you get.
- Little to do besides shopping and eating
- Some areas are eerily quiet.
- Few inexpensive dining options for dinner
- A 20- to 30-minute drive to the beach
- Little street parking
What It's Like
The words Beverly Hills are synonymous with wealth, and there's good reason for that. Since silent screen stars Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford settled there in 1920, the area -- a separate municipality, actually, in the middle of L.A.'s westside -- has been known as the stomping ground of the rich and famous. These days, it's increasingly more the rich, and less the famous, who live in the mansions in the sprawling residential portion of the city, between Santa Monica and Sunset Boulevard. Still, there's enough star power around to merit sightseeing tours of the stars' homes in the area. South of Santa Monica lies the main commercial district, a pedestrian-friendly set of streets known as the "Golden Triangle" and bound by Wilshire Boulevard, Canon Drive, and Little Santa Monica. It's home to Rodeo Drive, that famed stretch of luxury shopping that includes seemingly every designer boutique, from La Perla to Louis Vuitton. One block over, Beverly Drive houses more affordable upscale shops, like Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel. The area is also home to a number of great restaurants, from fancy upscale dining like Wolfgang Puck's Spago, within the Golden Triangle, to famed sushi spot Matsuhisa, farther to the east on La Cienega Boulevard. Fear not, there are also a number of spots to grab a cheap lunch or quick cup of coffee, including a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. These spots mostly cater to the working crowd toiling away in nearby office buildings -- home to companies such as the talent agencies William Morris and Endeavor.
Where to Stay
Most Beverly Hills hotels fall into one of two categories: large, expensive icons or stylish boutique properties. In the former category, The Beverly Hills Hotel, built in 1912, is a pink-and-green palace of luxury, set on twelve secluded acres with a beautiful pool, a five-minute drive from Rodeo Drive. Equally iconic, the stately Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire offers a more urban take on luxury, sitting right on Wilshire Boulevard, across the street from Rodeo Drive and just down the street from huge upscale department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue. Smaller, more affordable boutique properties like Luxe Rodeo Drive and Maison 140 have great locations within the Golden Triangle and lovely style, but few amenities (no pool at either) and tiny standard rooms.

While a NSW Health spokeswoman says that the rate of girls participating is "high for a new program with a three dose schedule," others believe that it reveals worries about the side-effects of the vaccine, which includes headaches and dizziness. A spokeswoman for the Australian Family Association also says that the vaccine program assumes that all young people have multiple sex partners (although the vaccine is given at a younger age for preventative reasons, not because they think that all 12-year-olds are at an immediate risk to HPV).

1. The granting of a new trial is a matter of trial court discretion and, as with all discretionary matters, will not be disturbed on appeal except by a showing of abuse of that discretion. Judicial discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the trial court.
2. Absent extraordinary circumstances, an affidavit from trial counsel regarding a conversation with jurors is insufficient to establish trial error for refusing to recall a jury.
3. A jury is generally presumed to have followed the instructions given by the court.
4. The burden is on the party seeking an order recalling a jury to show the necessity for the order.
5. Under the facts of this case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for new trial based on jury misconduct or in denying the request to recall the jury.

Before PIERRON, P.J., MARQUARDT and MALONE, JJ.
MALONE, J.: Barbara Erixson sued Akinola Ernest Ojeleye, M.D., for medical negligence. The jury found in favor of Ojeleye. Erixson claims the trial court erred by denying her motion for new trial based on jury misconduct. We affirm.
In February 2001, Erixson sustained an abrasion to her right knee when she fell at work. Due to increased pain, Erixson sought medical attention from Ojeleye the following day. Erixson reported to Ojeleye that the pain was worsening and was radiating up her leg. Ojeleye examined Erixson's knee, wrote her a prescription for Percocet for her arthritis, and redressed her knee. The next day, Erixson had greatly increased pain, had become extremely nauseous and was vomiting, was very weak and uncomfortable, and could not get out of bed. Consequently, Erixson's mother called her regular physician, John C. Gollier, M.D. Dr. Gollier informed Erixson she should call an ambulance and go to the hospital. Erixson was eventually diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, an infection that, if it gets into soft tissue and then the bloodstream, produces a systemic illness that is very dramatic, fast paced, and damaging. She eventually had most of her fingers, toes, and part of her left leg amputated as a result of the infection.
Erixson sued Ojeleye. She alleged that Ojeleye's treatment and diagnosis were negligent and fell below the standard of care for a physician. Erixson claims she developed the infection and sustained damages as a direct and proximate result of Ojeleye's breach of duty.
The case proceeded to a jury trial. Several healthcare professionals were seated on the jury without objection, including a veterinarian, a certified EMT, a dentist, and a former emergency and operating room technician. Like most medical negligence cases, the trial boiled down to a battle of expert witnesses. After hearing the evidence and deliberating for approximately 30 minutes, the jury found that Ojeleye was not at fault.
Following the verdict, Erixson filed a motion for new trial on the ground of juror misconduct. Erixson submitted affidavits from her trial counsel, Fritz Edmunds, Jr., and his legal assistant, Larry M. Wright. Both Edmunds and Wright indicated that while speaking with jurors following the verdict, Juror No. 11 stated, "'The other healthcare professionals on the jury and I talked about what the signs are and how to recognize infection. We just couldn't say for sure there was enough for Dr. Ojeleye to see.'" (Emphasis added.)
The trial court conducted a hearing on the motion for new trial. Erixson contended Juror No. 11's statement established prejudicial juror misconduct. She argued the statement proved the jury considered information outside the evidence presented at trial and disregarded the trial court's instructions by applying the wrong burden of proof. In the alternative, Erixson asked the trial court to recall the jury for further inquiry if the court did not find the alleged misconduct warranted a new trial. Ojeleye countered that Erixson had failed to meet her strong burden to prove a new trial was warranted. Ojeleye argued that a new trial could not be ordered based solely upon Erixson's hearsay affidavits from her trial counsel and the legal assistant.
The trial court denied Erixson's motion for new trial and also declined to recall the jury. The trial court stated:
"I believe that uh, the combined jurors are entitled to use their common knowledge and experience and each may use their knowledge and experience in the jury room.
"The fact that some of the jurors had healthcare training does not require them to forget what they know when they got to the–they go to the jury room."
The trial court also ruled that Juror No. 11's statement, "We just couldn't say for sure," failed to indicate that the jury disregarded the court's instruction to apply a preponderance of the evidence standard of proof. Erixson timely appeals.
Erixson claims the trial court erred in denying her motion for new trial based on jury misconduct. She again argues that Juror No. 11's statement indicated that prejudicial jury misconduct occurred because the jurors employed in the healthcare field relied upon their professional knowledge in deciding the case and disregarded evidence presented at trial. Erixson also asserts that Juror No. 11's statement established that the jury applied an improper burden of proof.
"The granting of a new trial is a matter of trial court discretion and, as with all discretionary matters, will not be disturbed on appeal except by a showing of abuse of that discretion. [Citation omitted.]" Dougan v. Rossville Drainage Dist., 270 Kan. 468, 485, 15 P.3d 338 (2000). "Judicial discretion is abused only when no reasonable person would take the view adopted by the trial court. [Citations omitted.]" Varney Business Services, Inc. v. Pottroff, 275 Kan. 20, 44, 59 P.3d 1003 (2002).
Ojeleye contends that the hearsay affidavits submitted by Erixson, one from her trial counsel and one from a legal assistant, were insufficient to establish jury misconduct. In Walters v. Hitchcock, 237 Kan. 31, 36, 697 P.2d 847 (1985), our Supreme Court determined that absent extraordinary circumstances, an affidavit from trial counsel regarding a conversation with jurors is insufficient to establish trial error for refusing to recall a jury. In Walters, the defendant's attorney submitted an affidavit alleging that in talking to three jurors after the trial, it had become apparent that the jury had discussed during deliberations that plaintiff's recovery would be reduced by attorney fees and income taxes. 237 Kan. at 35. The court determined that the affidavit from counsel was insufficient to establish the need to recall a jury when no reason was given why the jurors could not provide affidavits themselves. 237 Kan. at 36. The court concluded:
"Verbal comments to counsel by jurors following a trial are often made under some stress, may be easily misunderstood or subject to more than one interpretation. An affidavit(s) offered to show the need to recall a jury for examination for alleged misconduct among the jurors during deliberations should come from one present during the alleged misconduct–namely one or more of the jurors. Put another way, the affiant should have personal knowledge of the facts rather than the recitation of hearsay." 237 Kan. at 36.
Erixson distinguishes Walters because the holding in that case was limited to a request to recall the jury under Supreme Court Rule 181 (2005 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 227) rather than a motion for new trial. Erixson notes that K.S.A. 60-259(g) does not require the submission of affidavits when a new trial is requested on the ground of newly discovered evidence of juror misconduct. This is correct. However, if our Supreme Court has determined that an affidavit from trial counsel is insufficient to recall a jury, absent extraordinary circumstances, then logically the same reasoning should be applied to a motion for new trial.
Also, in Howell v. Calvert, 268 Kan. 698, 703, 1 P.3d 310 (2000), the court determined that the district court did not err in overruling a motion for new trial based upon a hearsay affidavit. The court found insufficient the affidavit filed by a nonjuror who claimed to have overheard one of the jurors calling the plaintiff a "faker." 268 Kan. at 703. Finally, in Butler v. HCA Health Svcs. of Kansas, Inc., 27 Kan. App. 2d 403, 408, 6 P.3d 871, rev. denied 268 Kan. 885 (1999), this court found that the trial court's refusal to accept trial counsel's affidavit containing allegations of juror misconduct was warranted because "[a]bsent extraordinary circumstances, affidavits of attorneys are not considered in determining whether juror misconduct has occurred."
Here, the affidavits submitted by Edmunds and Wright were the only evidence of the alleged jury misconduct. Obviously, neither Edmunds nor Wright were present during jury deliberations. On appeal, Erixson claims it would have been too intrusive to ask a juror in a small town to submit an affidavit indicating jury misconduct. However, Erixson does not claim that Juror No. 11 or any other juror was unable to submit an affidavit. In fact, it seems Erixson did not even ask any of the jurors if they would be willing to submit an affidavit on the alleged misconduct.
More importantly, Juror No. 11's statement taken at face value fails to establish jury misconduct. The statement merely indicates that the healthcare professionals on the jury talked about recognizing the signs of infection. There was a plethora of evidence presented by both parties at trial about recognizing the signs of infection. Presumably, this is what the jurors discussed during deliberation. Juror No. 11 never stated that the healthcare professionals relied solely upon their own professional knowledge about infection and disregarded the evidence presented by the expert witnesses. Likewise, Juror No. 11's statement that "[w]e just couldn't say for sure" does not establish that the jury applied a standard of proof more stringent than the preponderance of the evidence standard. A lay person likely would not speak in legal terms when explaining how the jury decided the case. The jury was properly instructed by the trial court on the burden of proof, and juries are generally presumed to have followed the instructions given by the court. State v. Rogers, 276 Kan. 497, Syl. ¶ 1, 78 P.3d 793 (2003). The isolated statement from Juror No. 11 was insufficient to overcome this presumption.
Finally, in Cleveland v. Wong, 237 Kan. 410, 424, 701 P.2d 1301 (1985), Wong alleged a new trial was necessary due to jury misconduct. Wong contended one of the jurors, a licensed practical nurse, used her professional knowledge to influence other jurors. 237 Kan. at 425. Three affidavits from jurors stated that the nurse juror answered questions regarding medical terminology and used her professional knowledge to argue that Wong was negligent. Other jurors denied that the nurse juror exerted any influence over the jury because of her background. The court found that nothing existed in the record indicating prejudicial misconduct. The court noted that the defendant did not claim he was unaware of the juror's medical background or that it was not disclosed during voir dire. According to the court, "It should come as no surprise that a juror with that background would be familiar with some medical terms unfamiliar to other jurors, or that the juror's past experience and training might enter into her decision-making process." 237 Kan. at 425.
Thus, even if the jurors with healthcare training in Erixson's case drew upon on their professional backgrounds in deciding the case, this does not necessarily establish jury misconduct. There is no allegation that any of the jurors failed to disclose their background or training during jury selection. In the absence of specific evidence that the jurors disregarded the evidence presented at trial, the fact that some of the jurors may have used their professional knowledge and experience to evaluate the case does not constitute misconduct.
As Ojeleye alleges, Juror No. 11's statement could be interpreted in different ways. Also, Erixson's trial counsel and the legal assistant may have misunderstood the juror or taken the juror's isolated statement out of context. Considering the secondhand nature of the information submitted to the trial court, we cannot conclude the trial court abused its discretion in denying Erixson's motion for new trial.
In the alternative, Erixson claims the trial court abused its discretion by not recalling the jury. Erixson contends that "[a] recall of the jury would have cured any uncertainty the Defendant or the trial court may have had about Juror No. 11's statement, if any."
"The burden is on the party seeking an order recalling the jurors to show the necessity for the order." Saucedo v. Winger, 252 Kan. 718, 729, 850 P.2d 908 (1993). As previously indicated, our Supreme Court in Walters determined that absent extraordinary circumstances, an affidavit from trial counsel regarding a conversation with jurors is insufficient to establish trial error for refusing to recall a jury. 237 Kan. at 36. In this case, the only "extraordinary circumstances" cited by Erixson to justify an exception to this rule is the fact that the jury only deliberated for 30 minutes. Erixson contends this created a suspicion of misconduct by the jury.
We are unconvinced that the short period of deliberation constituted extraordinary circumstances to disregard the general rule established in Walters. In this case, the jury never proceeded beyond the first question on the verdict form in finding that Ojeleye was not at fault. Although the jury deliberation was short, we cannot presume there was misconduct. Erixson's hearsay affidavits from her trial counsel and the legal assistant failed to establish a sufficient basis to recall the jury. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying this request.

Sozon the Martyr
September 7
This holy Martyr was a shepherd in Lycaonia. Born a pagan, named Tarasius, he received holy Baptism and was renamed Sozon. Filled with zeal for the truth, he taught his countrymen to desist from the worship of idols. Once he entered the temple of Artemis in Pompeiopolis of Cilicia, cut off the golden hand of the idol, and breaking it in pieces, distributed it among the poor. When he saw that many were being unjustly punished for the theft, of his own accord he gave himself up to Maximian the Governor. He was beaten with rods until his bones were broken. According to some, he suffered martyrdom in 288; according to others, in 304.
Apolytikion of Martyr Sozon
Fourth Tone
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion of Martyr Sozon
Second Tone
As we come together on this day, let us acclaim with a great voice Sozon, the true and God-bearing Martyr, the approved athlete of godliness, the divine initiate of grace, the most bountiful bestower of healings; for he intercedeth with God for us all.

Although there is a whole lot of talk nowadays in the auto industry about materials including aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel, and composites, there is another material that, Jeff Owens, chief technology officer and executive vice president, Delphi Automotive, told the audience this week at the CAR Group Management Briefing Seminars that is going to have huge growth in automotive:
Speaking to the issue of increased networking and electrification in vehicles, he said that whereas there is currently about 7.5 kg of copper in the average car, that's going to go to 15 kg.
What's more, there is going to be an increase in wiring and cabling from 1 mile to 1.5 miles. There will be a need for vehicular voltage to go from 12 volts to 300 to 600 volts. What was once a $2 connector may become a $20 connector.
Just providing the support for an electrified powertrain will mean an additional cost from $500 to $800 per vehicle.
Speaking of cost: Owens says that he is doubtful that there will be fully autonomous cars not only because of the regulatory, legal and technical challenges (sensors, computing platforms, control systems, etc. etc. etc.), but: "Will the consumer pay for it?"

The distinguishing feature of all humanities subject area courses is their multidisciplinary nature. The courses are designed to instruct the student in the various characteristic viewpoints regarding the human condition from the perspective of disciplines such as art, classics, history, languages, literature, music, philosophy, religious studies and theater.
The Humanities program at College of DuPage serves as an essential support area for all students at the college by providing a better understanding of people's expressions, ideas and cultures. The courses can be used to meet part of the Humanities/Arts and International Studies General Education requirement for an associate's degree, provide a foundation for students intending to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting institution, or meet the needs of students planning to enter all career fields. Students intending to pursue a career in the arts, government, law, business, journalism, teaching or human services will find the courses particularly useful.
Transfer-oriented, occupational-vocational and general interest students should consider these humanities courses: Introduction to Humanities: The Arts (1101) explores people's creativity as expressed in music, literature, and the visual and performing arts; Introduction to Humanities: Ideas and Values (1102) explores the nature of humans as reflected in the disciplines of philosophy, history, literature and religious studies; Non-Western Humanities (1105) focuses on the cultures of Asia, Africa and Pre-Columbian Americas; The Arts and Cultural Diversity (1110) explores the contributions of various social and ethnic groups to U.S. culture. Leadership Development (2210) assists students in developing essential leadership skills. These courses are offered in a variety of delivery formats, and students may choose the option that best suite their needs.

Here For A Good Time
*Since playlist.com currently disabled my last George Strait song, I figured I'd add another...
And what a perfect song for a fun filled weekend. Complete with crafts and bachelorette festivities.
Friday afternoon was spent at Jessica's. Craftin' it up. We dumped our bag of "Michael's" goodies on the table and quickly got to work. (after about an hour of gabbin' and lunch...not bad for us)
We started with this...
After wrapping yarn around the wreath...Oh, I'd say about 7,245,988 times, we got to this stage of the game.
We kept taking turns giggling and laughing under our breath. Mostly, because we didn't do much talking. It's pretty unheard of. When Jessica and I get together we sound like a pack of ferocious turkeys!! We seriously don't shut up. EVER!!
The last time Jessica and I did anything crafty together, was when we worked on my wedding invitations over two years ago. I was in charge of glittering. Sounds simple right?! Well, Jessica gave me a big fat F. Maybe even an F-. It was all over me. Our dining room table and chairs. Even my face was covered. I'm gonna guess I wasted at least a half a cup of her precious sparklies. Still, the invites turned out beautiful...thanks to Jessica and all her glorious talents.
Just to give you an image of how crafting usually makes me feel...
This is me, when we worked on the invites til' 4am!!
Let's just say, Jessica shouldn't have high expectations of crafting with me.
But, this was better than glitter. Better than wedding invites. It really was.
It was so therapeutic and relaxing. Except for the 31 times I burned myself with my handy dandy glue gun. They're no joke! I kept letting out sudden loud screams. We were cracking up! I even have a battle wound on my left pointer finger to remind me of our day. :)
I gotta give mad props to Jess...aka Martha Stewart Junior. She taught me how to make flowers of all kinds...let me in on some secrets. And had the best idea on how to arrange all my little creations.
After 5 and a half hours of some serious yarn twisting, felt cutting and glue drying...
Jessica's wasn't quite done. Though it looked AMAZING already!! Take a look!
PS-don't think Jessica is some wacky "celebrate Christmas in October" person, with her red n' green tablecloth...she was just protecting her dining room table from crazy, clumsy, glitter and glue gun people like me!
I'm pretty hooked! I told her she better watch out...I'm up for a craft a week. Okay, I will settle for one a month even.
You all can laugh at me...I got teary eyed on the way home. As I've mentioned in my past few posts..."taking it in" has been the theme for October. And a day with my dear friend, doing something she adores and is so, so exceptional at...learning peace through a department I usually find a lack of patience in...
made for a truly sweet day.
Couldn't have done it without you, Jessica!!
The rest of the weekend was in celebration of this beautiful bride to be...
Lots of pictures from the Bachelorette night. Because the pictures speak for themselves!
Now, if you can't take a little bachelorette "fun", close your eyes :)
After, came some groovin'. There were definitely a few new moves invented that night. Country music was NOT blasting through the speakers.
Lots of smiling and cameras flashing...
Tons of dancing...
*Making Autumn wreaths...celebrating friends...dancing the night away...
All so good for the soul*
*I'll be back later this week. Normally, this stage in the game (10days past ovulation), the crazies set in. I'd say compared to the usual, only half have of em' are here. There are all sorts of other emotions visiting. And I'm working through them as they come.*
Have a fantastic day everyone!!
Happy Tuesday,

Hi Maria! :)
I feel like I've been having withdrawls from my favorite blogs! Yours was the first one I hopped over to today - I'm in desperate need of catch up!
First, thanks for all of your great comments this past week. I really love hearing from you! :)
I LOVE the wreaths! They turned out so cute! Yay for gettin' crafty! :)
Your previous post looks to be filled of yummy goodies that I must get my hands on ASAP. Your posts almost always have a way of making me hungry. ;)
I'm glad to see that you've been having a great time! I'm so jealous of your picture taking abilities - lol. I always have good intentions of taking pictures - the follow through is where I have my problem. ;)
I hope your week continues to go well -- and that there is no need for the crazies! (But - if there is, that's okay!!!) ;)

'What Idiot Wrote The Patent That Might Invalidate Software Patents? Oh, Wait, That Was Me'
from the rethinking-patents deptWe recently wrote about a surprising Federal Circuit (CAFC) ruling that might open the door to invalidating a lot of software patents. We received an an interesting comment on the post a few days later from John Pettitt:
So I was thinking - great they invalidated software patents, lets see what crappy patent written by an idiot they picked to do it - then I realized the idiot in question was me :-)Pettitt is now running an interesting operation called Free Range Content, which helps companies syndicate content easily. However, a while back, he was the named inventor on patent 6,029,154, describing a "Method and system for detecting fraud in a credit card transaction over the internet." We reached out to Pettitt to ask him a few questions about his views on the patent system and he kindly agreed.
Not sure how I feel about this.
John - inventor of the patent in question.
Given his comment, calling it "great" that software patents could be invalidated, we wanted to know if he was completely against software patents. Not surprisingly (and here we agree with him), he notes that the issue is more complex than that:
It's a complex issue. I don't think they are inherently bad, however the loose examination standards and a lack of guidance from the courts let a lot of bad patents through. Patents are meant to protect innovation so they should be held to a high standard. Unfortunately the patent industry relies far too much on patent prior art and ignores the vast corpus of open material. The result is that many patents look stupid on their face to anybody 'skilled in the art.'This is a good point and one we've raised many times before. So many patents that are issued are ridiculed by people actually skilled in the art, demonstrating how they never should have been issued. But because the USPTO focuses much more on "prior art" (i.e., "is this new?" rather than, "is this obvious?") all sorts of obvious stuff gets patented.
Given that this was his patent, we wondered if his views towards patents had changed over time, and he noted, not really:
It hasn't change much. I've never been a big fan of the broad swath of business method patents and even less of a fan of the process for creating and litigating patents. That said, it's the world we live in. So, like every other Silicon Valley entrepreneur, I file patents.This is something we hear all the time from almost every entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. Patents feel like a "necessary evil," but no one feels like they need them. This should really wake up Congress. They always talk up how patents help and protect entrepreneurs, but the reality is that they're a complete nuisance for most.
Given that it's his patent and he seemed surprised about it, we wondered if he even knew it was involved in a lawsuit. He noted that he has no relationship with any of the parties any more. While he noted that he knew his patent was involved in a lawsuit somewhere, he didn't know that it had reached the appeals court, which was part of the surprise. We also asked if he ever expected that a patent of his would be central to a key ruling about software patents, and he admitted it never crossed his mind:
No. honestly I expected some of the more extreme software patents to be the test cases.We closed with the big question. One of the key reasons why CAFC rejected the key claims was because they were merely "mental processes" that someone could do with a pencil and paper, and thus didn't require any actual machine. Noting his stated mixed feelings about this result, I asked how he felt about this reason for rejection, and here he dove in with a bit more detail:
This is where it gets interesting. If you go down this route, any patent that results in purely a change in stored information is invalid. I don't think that would be a good outcome. Taking my patent as an example: yes, you could do everything it says in your head. In fact, that's how I came up with the idea. However for a practical application of the idea you have to implement it in a computer system. Doing it by hand is too slow. This leads to the interesting question: if I build a machine with the code burned into ROM, making it a dedicated tangible device that could only do fraud detection, would that be ok? What about if it produces a tangible result (say printing a fraud warning?). Now if I put the same code on a general purpose computer would that be ok? Compare it to a medical device that takes metabolic readings and alarms if they go out of bounds: You could do the same by sitting a nurse down to watch the patient, but the automated device only processing information is clearly patentable under current rules. As computing becomes pervasive and everything becomes computer controlled or computer mediated it's still important to be able to protect original, non-obvious, ideas.This is a fair response, and it's one of the key reasons why I've also been hesitant to fully agree with those who wish to carve out software patents. It just seems like something that would be a lot more difficult in practice (though there could be a few ways to do it).
But that doesn't mean the system isn't really, really broken, and Pettitt outlined the details of the problem and a potential solution, from his point of view as an entrepreneur, an inventor and a patent holder:
The problem today is that it's expensive to litigate individual patents and in many cases it's cheaper to pay up than to litigate even if the patent is clearly junk. I think the solution to the software patent issue might include some or all of the following:The "panel of experts" is similar to what I suggested recently in my "how to fix the patent system" post. I also really like some form of extending anti-SLAPP type laws to bogus patent suits. As we've pointed out in the past, it's incredibly difficult to get a totally bogus patent lawsuit dismissed without it first costing you a ridiculous amount of money. Other types of lawsuits are much easier to get dismissed. Why not patents? I also like the idea that weak disclosures should invalidate a patent, since that would kill a bunch of patents, but I do wonder how you put that into practice. If anything, it seems like the kind of thing that should be solved at the beginning -- in that a patent examiner shouldn't approve a patent that doesn't really teach anything. As for shorter terms for "software patents," we're back to how do you define a software vs. hardware patent.
- Expedited review of new and disputed patents by a panel of experts in the field with a high bar for validity.
- Shorter lifespan for software patents (7-10 years?)
- End the venue shopping for lawsuits and impose meaningful punitive damages for the assertion of claims that clearly don't apply (similar to anti SLAPP statutes)
- Patents are meant to foster innovation by protecting the inventor and then upon expiry providing a library of information for others to build on. To this end, going forward, if a patent doesn't actually tell you enough information to understand and build the invention, it shouldn't be valid.
Still, thanks to John for taking the time to talk. We're so constantly told by patent system supporters that only patent holders should be allowed to comment on the patent system (a claim that's complete nonsense, of course), so it's nice to speak to one (of many) who sees many of the current anti-innovation problems of the system.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Firewire LFT Baked Potato Surfboard 5ft 11 Futures - White
Product Details
Primarily designed for smaller, weaker conditions, the BP will surprise you by its performance characteristics, and how the fins set further back and closer to the rail than usual, allow the board to hold in larger, steeper waves.
The new Linear Flex Technology (LFT) replaces the Rapidfire internal carbon rods with an 18mm wide composite Springer HD Suspension System that runs from nose to tail and includes a top-deck sheet to improve compression resistance. This high density insert creates additional strength through the centre with increased flex through the tail. The EPS top sheet buffer above the HD Springer allows for some compression but without the raised ridge and cracking that can occur with traditional wooden stringer surfboards. LFT delivers plenty of TWANG in and out of your turns and creates the fast-twitch flex response that gives the surfer the feedback and return desired.
LFT at last brings the perfect blend of a brand-new traditional PU board feel with the added durability of modern sandwich construction.
Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire surfboards across Europe and beyond, we've been with them since the very start. Firewire surfboards are more durable than other surfboard manufacturing processes, and for 90% of surfers they will improve your surfing.

Toby Denford (reviewed 07/05/2016)
It's amazing defiantly my go to board for any day sub 3ft (chest high) maybe up to 4ft if it's fat.
Couldn't wait to try the board out and surfed it in a huge variety of conditions.
It really excels in small mushy waves and catches the smallest of bumps sending your wave count through the roof.
However the low rocker which makes this board feel so fast over flat sections does make more critical drops a challenge, also the extremely wide tail makes driving hard off the bottom on bigger waves a lil squrley.
But all in all, this makes rubbish waves fun a board that really puts a smile on your face.
I surfed it with a set of Kelly Slater 2.1 quad fins.
Paul Mason (reviewed 01/01/2016)
I've owned 2 BPs: I started with a 5'7" Timbertek, had it for about 18 months, then traded it in for a 5'5" LFT. I'm 6'0" tall and weigh 80 kilos, and I'm a confident intermediate surfer. The 5'7" caught waves well (like a minimal...), but was way too corky for me: any kind of not-down-the-line turn was a battle, especially in the fast part of the wave. The 5'5" LFT is a complete contrast. It sits in the fast part of the wave easily, turns quickly and aggressively, and generally feels a lot more manoeuvrable – but with no discernible loss of wave-catching ability.
The LFT construction is a real step up from Timbertek, too: I can feel the flex in the board loading and unloading as I surf, like a really lightweight PU construction, but after several months of use the board is still unmarked. My personal ranking of Firewire constructions (I own or have owned each of these): 1st LFT; 2nd FST, which has proved super-tough and somewhere between LFT and Timbertek in feel; 3rd Timbertek, which to me felt like the old Surftech boards underfoot, floaty and stiff.

I don't ever write in really, but I read everything you write. I've appreciated your political posts if for no other reason than you're the only one posting them (in my small world of medical blog feeds). I also continue to believe that "all bleeding stops" is about the funniest thing I've ever heard. Today was a close call though when I heard this gem:ReplyDelete
"Why do elephants drink?"
"To forget."
Keep writing whatever you want to, topher.
Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I feel like I am alone in my box ranting to the four walls, which is fine for me because I get satisfaction just from the writing. If nobody reads this but me and my mom, that's OK with me. (hi mom!)ReplyDelete
But it's nice to know there actually is someone out there reading this.
Oh! Oh! I read it, too. :)ReplyDelete
-Luke and Josh's little sister Anna
I love your sense of humor.ReplyDelete
Please don't think you're alone in your little box ranting and raving. I can't remember if I told you this, but I've added you to my blogroll.
I read! I'm an intern in family medicine and its nice to read a blog that's interesting both medically and politically.ReplyDelete
