Fans have had two weeks to savor Carolina's dismantling of the New York Giants. Now they find out what the victory is worth.
Does the 38-0 shutout imply that the Panthers have figured out how to apply their talent and will prove it Sunday against Arizona?
Did they merely play well against a bad team?
Or is head coach Ron Rivera undefeated and invincible in games he has to win to keep his job? A source says Rivera didn't have to beat New York to retain his job. But Rivera probably had to win some or all of the final four games the Panthers played last season.
I believe the Panthers win again today. If so, the winning streak will be Rivera's longest in September or October in his three seasons with Carolina.
The Panthers have a decided edge in talent. Arizona has been good against the run. But unless the Panthers turn Cam Newton into Bart Starr again he should generate yards on the ground as well as in the air. If the Cardinals skew their defense to stop Steve Smith somebody else will beat them, as the Giants will attest.
Also, Carolina's front seven will get to immobile Carson Palmer. And, like the Giants, the Cardinals have little running game to save them. Their offense is 25th in scoring and 26th in total yards. My pick: Carolina 27, ARIZONA 20.
Last Week: 10-5
Season: 41-22
Upset: I picked San Diego (plus 11/2) to beat Dallas. The Chargers won by nine.
Season: 2-2
Lock: I moronically picked against New England. I picked Atlanta (minus 11/2) to cover against the Patriots. The Falcons couldn't cover Armanti Edwards. New England beat the depleted Falcons by seven.
Season: 2-2
This week's games, with the home team in CAPS:
Denver 33, DALLAS 27: The Cowboys are 2-0 at home, and the Broncos will lose someday. This is not the day. Peyton Manning versus Dallas' Cover 2? I vote for Manning.
New England 26, CINCINNATI 24: Like, how dumb do you have to be to pick against the Patriots, even if the Bengals are favored?
ST. LOUIS 29, Jacksonville 17: The Jaguars get Justin Blackmon back. He missed the previous four games because he violated the NFL's substance abuse policy. Blackmon is a talent. He will be one of the best receivers in the league. He instantly makes the Jaguars less worse.
The rest
GREEN BAY 33, Detroit 26
MIAMI 23, Baltimore 20
New Orleans 31, CHICAGO 28
Kansas City 21, TENNESSEE 20
SAN FRANCISCO 29, Houston 23
San Diego 27, OAKLAND 23
ATLANTA 24, New York Jets 16
Upset of the Week
INDIANAPOLIS (+21/2) 24, Seattle 21: I don't trust Seahawks on the road. They trailed Carolina and Houston but parlayed mistakes by their opponents into a victory. Don't think that happens against the Colts, especially in Lucas Oil Stadium. I like Russell Wilson. I like Andrew Luck more.
Lock of the Week
Philadelphia (+2) 33, N.Y. GIANTS 30: Why would you pick the winless Giants? Would you pick them because they're due? There is no due. They're terrible on offense and terrible on defense. Philadelphia's defense is abysmal. But if Michael Vick doesn't turn the ball over, the Eagles win. They probably win if he does.

So it was Whatever Happened To Baby Jane followed by The Hunger Games??
So it was Whatever Happened To Baby Jane followed by The Hunger Games??
It's official. I am madly in love with Meryl Davis.
Getting back to classic films, quite a few would pass: The Women, of course, and also Gone with the Wind, My Fair Lady, Gaslight, All about Eve, Stage Door, The Nun's Story, The Song of Bernadette, Stage Fright, The Old Maid . . .
Oh, and as for recent films: Les Miserables passes. There's Madame Thenardier's conversation with little Cosette and then with little Eponine. Also Fantine's conversation with the woman who wants to buy her hair. And you could count Fantine singing to Cosette, even though the latter isn't physically present.

In MFL, Eliza talks with Mrs. Pearce when the latter takes her up to her new room. In Gaslight, Paula talks with Elizabeth and Nancy (the cook and the maid), and I think (though I'm a little hazy on this) that she also talks with other women on the rare occasions that she goes out.

Fried Green Tomatoes? Kathy Bates character and that woman in the nursing home. Little Women. Jo talked to her mother and sisters about her career aspirations. They all talked about morality and money. Beauty Shop, Gina used to talk to her daughter and niece about their futures, and to Alicia Silverstone about careers. Steel Magnolias. The mother and daughter talked about taking risks and having a short life vs. playing it safe and having a long life filled with nothing special. Jane Eyre and Helen Burns in the latest version of JE. Hairspray (integration and careers). A League of Their Own.

One that stuck out was Hilary Swank and Francis O'Connor, the stars of "Iron Jawed Angels" about the suffragette movement and voting rights. And I just watched a movie, or mini-series (?) on the Sundance Channel called "Restless" and the three stars were women: Charlotte Rampling, Hayley Atwell and Michelle Dockery. But I often wonder how female actors sustain their careers. I hope it changes. It helped that both movies were about issues more than human relationships.

My Life Without Me.
Great movie by Sarah Polley, 3 adult female characters. Lead character learns she is dying and prepares for her death while shielding her young children, husband, mother and friend from the truth.
I'm not spoiled...I deserve all my stuff.
I think it took Hollywood a long time to realize women like going to movies in the summer too. I think "The Devil Wears Prada", "Bridesmaids" and "Julie and Julia" pass the test and did well at the box office.
Also since the 90's Jane Austen has been so popular on-screen. I think they pass the test because in Austen's day men literally controlled all of the wealth as women could not inherit. It might have been about romance but it was also about survival.
sorry for the doublepost...
Interesting. I had never heard of the Bechdel thing. I just stopped watching movies because I didn't like them anymore, Partially because of the way females were portrayed.
My tv watching: always loved Buffy and Xena. The Good Wife has strong female characters. And recently, I went back to AbFab - hilarious, and they didn't need any men in the show to pull it off!
If you liked Buffy, Xena, and TGW, I highly recommend Battlestar Galactica, which also has a host of strong female characters that talk about a hell of a lot more than men.

The award-winning Bubble Club Sofa by Kartell has gained international recognition since receiving the 2001 Compasso d'Oro award. The Club Sofa, the first in designer Philippe Starck's Bubble Club collection, was so well received that Kartell and Starck later released the Bubble Club Chair and Bubble Club Side Table to complete the Bubble Club family. The sleek design of the sofa, which sits two comfortably, is made entirely of plastic, making it not only one of the world's most unique sofas, but also one of the most versatile.
The Kartell Bubble Club Sofa fits naturally into a variety of habitats and can be found both inside or outside the home or business. Modern living spaces have been transformed with the Bubble Club collection and Bubble Club Sofa. The industrial design and eco-friendly materials make the Club Sofa a welcomed addition to settings including family functions in living rooms, poolside entertaining on decks or patios, and more enjoyable wait times in doctor's offices.
The Bubble Club Sofa can seamlessly alter a space, giving its new home a feeling of comfortable modern flare. Industrial innovation on display, the Club Sofa can be enjoyed both inside and outside. Because the Kartell Bubble Club Sofa is produced using the light plastic, polyethylene, the Bubble Club Sofa can withstand rain, heat, and the elements all while maintaining its fade-resistant color. Kartell offers the Bubble Club Sofa and its counterparts, the chair and side table, in six colors: Pale Green, Pale Yellow, Pale Grey, Zinc White, Black, and Terra Cotta. Not only can you be confident that the Bubble Club Sofa and Bubble Club collection will maintain its color, but Starck and Kartell ensured the technology and design of the pieces would create weather-resistant and UV ray-resistant furniture that would be aesthetically pleasing to costumers everywhere.
If you're looking for a piece of furniture that is comfortable, durable, sleek, perfect both indoors and out, and manufactured by a well-respected company that stands behind the quality of its products, then look no further. You found it. The Kartell Bubble Club Sofa is the right fit in more ways than one. Buy the Bubble Club Sofa today.
World-renowned designer, Philippe Starck, collaborated with Kartell to produce an award-winning collection now found in countries across the world. Kartell is known for its technology and innovation in the world of plastics and design. When combined with Starck's creative genius, the Bubble Club collection was created, featuring the Bubble Club Sofa, Bubble Club Chair, and Bubble Club Side Table. The collaboration originally began with the Club Chair, which was awarded Italy's most prestigious design award, the Compasso d'Oro in 2001. This recognition proved that Kartell and Starck were on to something.
Using the unique material, polyethylene, for the Club Sofa's construction, Kartell ensures not only a beautiful piece of industrial creation, but the light plastic also allows the sofa to mask its durable strength and resistance to abrasion and weather. The scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and weather-resistant Club Collection is a perfect combination for indoor as well as outdoor furniture. Customers who have purchased and enjoyed the Bubble Club Sofa have come back to Kartell to add to their Bubble Club family, oftentimes creating an outdoor family space on a patio overlooking the pool, or adding comfort to an office lounge, providing sleek lines to a sophisticated workforce.

Materials: Smooth batch-dyed polypropyleneDimensions:Overall: 31.5" h x 77" w x 30.3" d Seat height: 17.75" Arm height: 27.25" Cleaning and Care: Use a soft damp cloth with soap or a liquid detergent, preferably diluted with water. Do not use acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia or other corrosive plastic cleaners. Avoid ethyl alcohol, which dulls the surface. We recommend always using a damp cloth to prevent plastic surfaces from becoming charged with static electricity which attracts dust. Also avoid abrasive solvents, cleaning powders and creams, steel wool or rough sponge cloths.
Contrary to the common idea, products in plastic materials are highly ecological for the reason that they can be recycled (with the exception of polyurethane, little used in Kartell seating). In addition, the use of plastics reduces the need for living plants, such as trees, which are costly and take years to replace. In order to simplify the recycling process, the various components of Kartell furniture can be easily separated and reduced to elements made of one single material. Moreover, the plastic parts of each product carry, clearly printed, an identification mark to determine the correct classification of the seven different kinds of plastic and their effective recycling.
Creativity and technology, glamour and functionality, quality and innovation: a combination of extraordinary factors together with a strategic vision of distribution has contributed to the lasting success of Kartell. Headquartered in Milan, Kartell manufactures products like the Bubble Club Chair and distributes them in over 70 countries around the world. Winner of multiple Compasso d'Oro Awards, Kartell is one of the most highly regarded companies in the design world, and Kartell has been recognized numerous times for its excellence. The company is known for collaborating with the world's most respected designers to produce furniture, labware, and lighting that continue to stretch the imagination.

The Gloucester girls (1-0) were just as dominant as the boys squad turning in 13 first place finishes and qualifying several runners for the state meet, which will be held later this season.
Elle Wierbicky led the way for Gloucester with a first place finish in the 200 with a time of 27.4, which qualifies her for states. Wierbicky also joined Kayla Nasser, Timia Buckley and Bianca Giacalone on the 4x100 relay team, which also qualified for states with a time of 53.6.
Fiona Davis won the 2-mile with a time of 12:10.8 and sophomore Hannah Pastagal qualified for states with a throw of 90'8" in the discus, good for a first place finish.
"It was great to see the co-ed track program come away with two wins on the first meet," Destino said. "It was well earned, everyone on both teams performed."

It's too simple to say some business executives perform better than others. Way too many factors determine a company's success or failure than just the actions of the CEO. Especially companies that have been around for a long time.
I talk a lot about brand names. Because a great brand name makes everything easier.
We have great brand names in Memphis. FedEx, although the company originally didn't want people saying FedEx, is a great brand. Federal gave the brand credibility in its earliest days. Auto Zone, though not the original name, is a strong brand. Better, I think, than the original, Auto Shack. LifeBlood's a classic.
A great brand name you've probably never given a thought about is WKNO. Think about it. Public broadcasting in America has been a fact since the early Twentieth Century.
Almost all companies start out doing one thing. Terminix sold termite control. Added pest control; now blows insulation.
Remember when Kraft meant cheese? Now Kraft means everything from salad dressing to cigarettes.
FedEx, too, used to mean just one service: absolutely, positively overnight delivery service. Now add trucking, office supplies, printing and I'm sure there's more I don't know about.
So now comes a new FedEx advertising campaign designed to "tell all the cool things we do to help people solve problems."
There's one thing that everybody in every company can do to help make the company successful: be a mystery shopper. Test how easy it is to do business with your company.
A couple weeks ago I tried to make a reservation for a golf package on Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. I went to the web site and called the direct number for the hotel on a Saturday evening. I was told to call back between nine and five on Sunday. I tried another number on the web site and got an answering machine with an announcement that I needed an extension number to reach anybody.
Lou Gerstner resurrected IBM with no previous knowledge of IBM's business. He proved that a lack of company, even category, experience can be overcome. Gerstner was the exception.
A CEO with the full body of knowledge about a company and its category has a huge leg up. CEOs who grow up in a company know the pressure points at every level. They know where each job fits in the total scheme. They know the industry. And that means they know the competition.

TRAVERSE CITY — For the second year in a row, enrollment dipped at Northwestern Michigan College, an apparent reflection of the nation's strengthening economy.
NMC President Tim Nelson said enrollments fluctuate inversely to economic conditions. In rough times, students are more likely to choose a community college with its more affordable tuition rates and local commute. Unemployment also plays a part with jobless folks often turning to the community college to learn new workplace skills.
NMC's most recent student numbers totaled 4,734, down 3.9 percent from last year's spring semester total of 4,917 students. NMC officials anticipated the slight drop; community colleges across the state are seeing similar declines, said NMC spokesman Andy Dolan.
In contrast to the last two years, NMC saw a record-breaking spring enrollment of 5,194 students in 2011, a 1 percent climb from the same period in 2010.
Many students use NMC as a stepping stone to bachelor's and master's degrees, including those offered through the University Center, which houses nine partner state universities on a separate campus. About 1,500 students each year take classes there, Dolan said.
NMC also offers professional certificates and associate degrees, including specialties in culinary arts, maritime, aviation, robotics, renewable energy, manufacturing, construction, and automotive service technology.

Quote:Excuse my ignorance but under what circumstances would you need to consider time is right for a remesh? I checked my manual last night and it only seems to say that remesh is one of the few maintenance items you may need to do but it doesn't suggest when. Is it a change in PE or just an expectation that it will loosen with use and need to be remeshed and "tightened? I'm sticking with the "if it ain't broke....." strategy for now of course.
Quote:How do the guided stars look in the image? Are they oblong in the DEC direction? If the stars are small and round, I would not mess with the mesh of the worm.
The DEC curve could also be due to too tight of a mesh - i.e. stiction. But if the stars are tight and round, why bother?

WILLOW PARK – The new westbound Interstate 20 415 exit in Willow Park opened Thursday, about a mile east of the exit ramp it is replacing.
The ramp reversal is expected to address safety concerns, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. During peak westbound traffic hours, it was not uncommon for traffic to back up onto main interstate lanes because the older exit was close to the intersection of Mikus Road/Farm-to-Market Road 5.
The East Parker County Chamber of Commerce, Willow Park city leaders and area developers have also expressed excitement about the new exit ramp's location because it opens up a corridor on the north frontage road for development.
The new location facilitates Texas Health Resources' plans to develop an emergency room and medical center at the intersection of Crown Pointe Boulevard and the north interstate service road and provide better access to ongoing projects planned for the area, including the Village at Crown Park apartment complex, Willow Park Rehabilitation and Care Center, an assisted-living facility and Willow Park Baptist Church's expansion.
Developer Jim Martin and his business, which sold about 80 acres in 2011 for area development, put $2 million towards the transportation project, a requirement for the proposed hospital because it would give emergency vehicles better access to the facility.
Jay Mills Contracting began work on the 2.2-mile, $2.4 million project in November.
After the exit ramp was opened Thursday, workers were expected to close down the older exit and begin removing its signage. The removal process is expected to last about two weeks, according to TxDOT Area Engineer John Cordary.
Officials hope to complete a similar project for the westbound Ranch House Road exit in Willow Park though funding for those plans has yet to be located.

NORMAN — Spring is the season of city election campaigning, and elected positons are open in three Cleveland County municipalities. Candidate filing will start Monday and run through Wednesday for Moore, Lexington and Slaughterville.
Cleveland County Election Board Secretary Jim Williams said the filing period for Moore and Lexington council members and Slaughterville trustees will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Cleveland County Election Board Office, 641 E. Robinson St. in Norman.
Open seats in Moore include four-year terms in each of the three districts. Lexington positions are open in Wards 3 and 4, both four-year terms, and Slaughterville will fill positions of town treasurer, a four-year term, two four-year trustee positions and two unexpired two-year trustee positions.
Candidates filing for office will be required to complete a Declaration of Candidacy form available for download on the Cleveland County Election Board website, www.clevelandcountyelectionboard.com. Forms also are available at the Election Board office.
The form must be notarized. The Election Board cannot notarize candidate filing papers. Because Municipal Elections are non-partisan, when completing the Declaration of Candidacy form, all candidates should leave political party blank.
The city of Moore election will be March 5, with a runoff on April 2 if needed. Lexington and Slaughterville elections will be April 2.

OTTUMWA — Another round of storms has caused another round of postponements for local teams this spring sports season. This time, it caused Ottumwa's track and field teams and the Bulldog girls golf team to miss out on competing in central Iowa on Monday.
The Ottumwa boys and girls track team had their scheduled meet at Des Moines North canceled Monday while the Bulldog girls golf team also had their trip to the Ames Invitational called off due storms throughout central Iowa. The storms also forced a second postponement of the Ottumwa boys tennis teams' scheduled CIML Metro Conference opening dual at Des Moines Lincoln, leaving the Bulldogs to open Metro play today against Indianola at home, weather permitting.
The forecast for rain in southern Iowa has already forced the Indian Hills softball team to postpone a rescheduled Region XI doubleheader with Iowa Western for this afternoon. The Warriors will now play the 14th-ranked (DI) Reivers in their final two regular season games on Thursday at 2 p.m.

South Milwaukee had a total of 11 winning matches this night with seven of them ending with a pin.

Professor Arnold M. Eisen, chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary and one of the world's foremost experts on American Judaism, and the Most Reverend Timothy Michael Dolan, Archbishop of New York, which is the most influential archdiocese in the country, will discuss "The Future of Catholic-Jewish Interfaith Dialogue" at the seventeenth annual Nostra Aetate Dialogue.
The event will take place at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, at the McNally Amphitheatre at Fordham University Law School, 140 West 62nd Street, New York City. Dr. Edward Bristow, professor of History at Fordham University, will moderate.
The Nostra Aetate (In Our Time) Dialogues began in 1993 as an outgrowth of a 1990 conference on Catholic-Jewish relations that commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the landmark Vatican II document encouraging dialogue and the development of relationships between the Catholic church and non-Christian religions.
Shortly after his ordination in his native St. Louis, Missouri, Archbishop Dolan received his doctorate in American Church History at Catholic University. In 1987, he began his five-year term at the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington DC before returning to St. Louis as vice rector and professor at its major seminary. From 1994–2001, he served as Rector of the Pontifical North American College in Rome and visiting professor of Church History at Rome's Gregorian University. In 2001, he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis and a year later became Archbishop of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In February 2009, he was named Archbishop of New York.
Since his inauguration in 2007, Chancellor Eisen has met with world leaders, engaged in prominent interdenominational and interfaith dialogues, and championed a transformation in the education of the next generation of Conservative Jewish leadership.
Before coming to JTS, Chancellor Eisen was the Koshland Professor of Jewish Culture and Religion at Stanford University. He also served as senior lecturer in the Department of Jewish Philosophy at Tel Aviv University and assistant professor in the Department of Religion at Columbia University. Chancellor Eisen received a PhD in the History of Jewish Thought from Hebrew University; a BPhil in the Sociology of Religion at Oxford University; and a BA in Religious Thought from the University of Pennsylvania.
The Chancellor's many publications include a personal essay Taking Hold of Torah: Jewish Commitment and Community in America (1997), a personal essay; a historical work entitled Rethinking Modern Judaism: Ritual, Commandment, Community (1998); and The Jew Within: Self, Family and Community in America (2000), coauthored with sociologist Steven M. Cohen. He is currently writing a book that probes new possibilities for the meaning of Zionism.
Dr. Bristow initiated the Nostra Aetate Dialogues when he was dean of Fordham College at Lincoln Center. He has edited the proceedings of the first five dialogues, which have been published by Fordham University Press under the title No Religion Is an Island.
The event is open to the community at no charge. Further information is available by calling (718) 817-3185.

The Friends of Reading Recreation Middle School cross country team was organized this past spring and started practicing last month. Their first race is Oct. 7.
According to Coach Dan Princic, last fall there was a "loosely run" program that practiced together a few times and then competed in a couple of races, but this fall they are more organized.
"We have 34 kids on the roster this year and are averaging around 25 at each practice," Princic said.
The team practices three times a week after school at the Imagination Station across from the Coolidge Middle School. The students take advantage of the fields at the Birch Meadow Complex and the RMHS track.
"We've only been practicing for a few weeks so far, and I'm just enjoying the experience. The kids here in Reading really are great. They have all been so enthusiastic and willing to push themselves from the beginning. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season," he said.
The team's first race is on Sunday, Oct. 7 at the Wayland XC challenge. Their first home meet is on Sunday, Oct. 14 at the Reading Town Forest. The public is welcome to support the kids, or to sign up for the open two mile race.
This is Princics first time coaching middle school students, but he did coach track at Woburn High School and college cross country and track at his alma mater Allegheny College. He also worked as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University.
"For me, the best part about coaching cross country is all about watching new runners experience personal bests. Guiding a runner towards faster and faster times, past distances many of them never thought they could run, is such a rewarding experience," he told Patch.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Seniors Molly Rice (South Portland, Maine), Tracy Nale (Waterville, Maine) and junior Tanya Rosbash (Newton, Mass.) have been named tri-captains of the 2006-07 Colby women's basketball team, as announced by head coach Lori Gear McBride. Captains were selected based on a vote among players and coaches.
"All three young ladies are strong leaders and I expect them to do an excellent job in this role," said Gear McBride, in her second season with the Mules. "It is so very important to have strong leadership on the team and, although I expect everyone to display leadership when the opportunities present themselves, these three will set the tone.
Rice, who also plays field hockey, missed most of the second half of last season. She saw action in 15 games, starting seven, and averaged 2.3 points per game and 2.9 rebounds.
Nale, who returned to the team last season following a one-year absence, was the team's second-leading scorer in 05-06, averaging 8.3 points. She led the team in three-point shooting at 47.6 percent (20-for-42), added 2.6 rebounds and was second on the team in steals. She scored 13 points in Colby's 60-38 win over Middlebury on the final day of the regular season, helping the Mules clinch a spot in the NESCAC Tournament. Nale scored a season-high 21 in a 65-58 win over Maine Maritime, a team that participated in the NCAA Tournament and scored 20 versus Bowdoin on Dec. 10.
Rosbash, who missed the first semester last season following knee surgery, averaged 3.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and a team-best 3.4 assists in 18 contests last season. Highlights from her season include back-to-back nine assist efforts against Wesleyan and Saint Joseph's and 13 points versus Connecticut College on February 3.
The Mules begin their season on Saturday, November 18, when they take on host Babson in the opening round of the Irving Oil Invitational.

To Jen's point, I think Gina was the best known missing person in Cleveland. Her parents kept the torch lit the entire time, and that is to their credit.
To Jen's point, I think Gina was the best known missing person in Cleveland. Her parents kept the torch lit the entire time, and that is to their credit.
What would Jenny do?
Reports say that Castro was a known member of his community, and it sounds like many of his neighbours had contact with him over the years, and as you said, at first they were all surprised - because he seemed like a normal guy who played in a local band, participated in community events, was nice to the local kids, didn't have any conflicts with anyone.
Then as the truth of what was happening right under their noses for many years comes out, the horror turns inward - people realize that they talked to him, spent time in his company, maybe even liked him. And they start to feel guilty - small things come back to them and they wonder if they should've caught it at the time or said something, and they question their own judgement and decisions. Maybe they recall other incidents in their lives - times when they knew something was wrong and did nothing about it, or when they were victims themselves and felt like no one would help them, and they start to imagine what they could have done if only they had known. And every day, they have to go by that house or see it across the street and it continues to haunt them.
And that's when people look for someone else to blame.
This isn't about the Cleveland situation but I thought it was valuable while we are so focused on this horrid crime, its good to realize how rare stranger abductions are.
Five Myths about Missing Children (Washington Post)
Congratulations 2014 World Ice Dance Champions Anna Cappellini & Luca Lanotte!!!
And outsiders wishing for particularly detestable offenders to be victims of violence at the hands of fellow inmates won't guarantee that only the detestable end up as victims.
Prisoners who come across as weak, who may be guilty of lesser crimes or innocent of the crimes they were convicted of could also be subject to similar violence even though there's no one on the outside hoping for them to be singled out as victims.
Inmates who are inclined to attack other inmates aren't going to target only the victims we'd most want to see targeted.
Isn't the purpose of locking up people who are not rehabilitatable such as some sociopaths and sexual offenders to keep them from being able to do more harm? What is the point of vicious punishment? Punishment makes sense if someone is going to be released from prison and needs to understand the consequences of his/her actions so as to not do it again. But if someone is going to prison for life which this guy, if found guilty, will be unless he gets the death penalty, isn't the purpose to keep society safe from him?
I'm not getting what else people want and why.
Congratulations 2014 World Ice Dance Champions Anna Cappellini & Luca Lanotte!!!
retributive justice. But there's no place for violent vengeance; the whole point of having a criminal justice system is to remove justice to an extent from immediate human emotions.
And as Zemgirl mentioned above the U.S. Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment. The fact that rape and other forms of violence happen in U.S. prisons is a violation of our Constitutional values and something that should not happen, not a part of our mandated punishment.
Congratulations 2014 World Ice Dance Champions Anna Cappellini & Luca Lanotte!!!
I, like you, am not at all sorry for what awaits him. No matter what his fate, NOTHING can be worse than what he did to those poor girls, their families, and the community. I guess I'm a horrible person.
At the same time, I question the purpose of keeping such criminals alive. Technically I don't support the death penalty, but to be honest on some level, I wonder why someone just doesn't off such persons, off the record. Or leave them to the devices of other prisoners, many of whom despise rapists and pedophiles. There is a man imprisoned for the torture and death of some 43 prostitutes here in British Columbia (known as the pig farmer). I really wonder why someone just didn't 'arrange' his death. To what point is he sitting in prison for life?
As to why they didn't 'arrange' his death: people in Western societies are generally fairly happy about the fact they are "free". In the Us especially, it's supposed to be the home of the free. You cannot have a free society when governments or prison guards are secretly arranging the execution of prisoners at will. It's simply too arbitrary.
Either you have a proper death penalty and death row policy, or you don't. There's absolutely no room for the arbitrary, secret execution of prisoners unless you want to forgo your freedoms and admit that you live in a country that Obama and Bush describe as anti-democratic, such as Iraq or Iran. There would be outrage if an innocent person was put in jail without a trial and then arbitrarily executed, and there absolutely should be. The justice system doesn't just protect criminals, it protects everyone. It fails at times, sure. But in general, it's a hell of a lot better than living in a country where women are stoned to death for refusing a forced marriage, or where you can be tortured for the colour of your skin.
Also, as others have said, the point of prison is punishment and to keep offenders off the street. If Castro is in prison for life, he can't re-offend. If he's dead, there's always the risk that he will become a martyr for sick bastards who aspire to commit the same crime. There's a perverse glory in being executed that the vast majority of murderers and rapists simply don't deserve.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
I've always thought it silly that people think those in jail can't reoffend. They often do reoffend, but it's in the confines of the jail. Plenty of prisoners have extra sentences tacked on to the sentences they were originally sent to prison for because they committed crimes while in jail. A crime is a crime whether committed in the confines of a jail or not. People just don't care so much about crimes committed in jail, because they figure it was deserved -whether for the crime they committed to get locked up in the first place, or something else. People rarely feel as sorry for criminals who have crimes committed against them.
I am for the death penalty in theory, but in practice I am not. One innocent life taken is one too many, and people make mistakes and wrongly convict. I'd love it to be implemented in cases where it is "certain" that the guilty party is indeed guilty (as seems the case here), but then all cases are "certain" when they're found guilty. In theory, it should work, in practice, it doesn't.

Yes, wrongful convictions are something that has really affected the way people think about the death penalty. While there are cases where there's no doubt that the crime is horrific and the right person is being punished, all you need is to look at a case like Anthony Graves', or the Central Park Five, or quite a few of the cases listed by the Innocence Project, to have serious concerns about how the death penalty is applied.I am for the death penalty in theory, but in practice I am not. One innocent life taken is one too many, and people make mistakes and wrongly convict.

In theory, it should work, in practice, it doesn't.
Returning to the victims/survivors in this case, this article argues that the public interest and the media attention are essentially keeping the women prisoner now, and hindering their recovery. I think that's a valid point.
Guards encouraging other prisoners to torture someone would be a crime itself, not because it's cruel or unusual but because telling someone to commit a violent crime is a crime. Not caring if it happens to someone who's committed heinous acts against innocent people is human nature.
And prison is not supposed to be comfortable or pleasant. If they're not going to execute someone, but not going to release them, it should be the minimum required to sustain life. There is no reason to make someone comfortable, healthy, or happy in prison if they are being kept there because they're a danger to the public.
I have faith in Karma and I sincerely hope that this horrible man will somehow, somewhere be on the receiving end for everything that he has dealt out to those women. I trust the justice system to find him guilty. If while he is in prison and confined the way he confined his victims, he suffers the same indignities and abuse that he heaped on them, I am not going to cry about it.
I'd rather be thought of as absolutely ridiculous than as absolutely boring.
I agree people who lose their rights to live freely in society should not expect for life in prison to be pleasant. They should have their human needs met but there isn't going to be much else. You've lost those rights if you are convicted and sentenced to life in prision. You have not lost the right to be treated humanely but that is not the same thing.
It certainly is a normal human reaction to a heinous crime(s) to think of the perpetrator being served up the treatment he inflicted on others. When we learn about something like this we're processing how to deal with the notion that in our society someone could inflict this horror on three young women. I don't want to focus on the perpetrator at all, that's my way of dealing with it, but others will be so disgusted they will feel the need to say he should be treated in ways we don't as a society condone. I don't blame anyone for feeling that way.
As someone noted above, crimes can be committed in prison and beating or raping another prisoner no matter what crime that person was convicted of, is just another crime. As a society its incumbent on us to prevent those crimes, just as we seek to prevent crimes against citizens who are not incarcerated.

There are conflicting reports about whether Michelle Knight's mother has seen her or not, but MamaKnight (and her lawyer) continue to make this about her...and I read Michelle Knight may need facial reconstruction surgery. It sounds like she was made to bear the brunt of the physical abuse - not to diminish the abuse of the others, it's not a zero sum situation, but reading that she was pregnant a lot but abused to keep her from having children while Amanda's child was not only wanted but the others were threatened if the baby died, it does sound like she was made to physically suffer just unbelievably. Every tie I think the story can't get worse it does.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry
This whole thing is mind boggling. Castro would not allow his brothers to go past the kitchen, and yet nobody thought it was odd? I am not saying they had a hand in it, but why wouldn't anyone question a bizzare behavior for almost 10 years? I can understand- though to a small extent- neighbors not wanting to interfere when something looks odd, but family members?
I have a tough time having sympathy for this jerk and the guy who kidnapped Jaycee Dugard. They are scums and they deserve to be in prison, with no possibility of parol. I am not going to condone anyone attacking a prison mate, but if that happens, it is the result of the horrible things these evil people did to the innocent girls. They have 'earned' it. I see no reason to make their lives in prison 'pleasant'. As far as safety goes, prison rules are to be followed, that's all.

From the very get-go I thought this video was hot, as watching Billy Simonds and Enrico Roselli make out is delicious viewing. But It only gets better from there, with the duo taking on each other dicks before moving on to a sweat inducing fuck. The bottom then sits on his ripped buddies big dick and rides it to a to a spectacular cum-shot.

The Erie Otters cut nine pr0spects Friday to trim their roster to 26 players heading into Saturday's 7 p.m. preseason opener against Niagara at Tullio Arena.
Two 2011 OHL draft picks – goaltender Devin Williams (fifth round) and defenseman Troy Saunders (12th round) – headlined the list.
Other picks cut were left wing Eric Kimmerly (11th round in 2010), right wing Ralph Cuddemi (11th round in 2010), center Matthew Wildman (seventh round in 2009) and goaltender Adam Wood (eighth round in 2009).
The final two free-agent invites – Erie native Nick Jenkins, a left wing who plays for Fort LeBoeuf, and left wing Jordan Martin – also were cut.
* Enjoying time off: Coach Robbie Ftorek appreciated the club's off-ice conditioning program this week. But the workouts left players physically exhausted.
"It's hampered a little bit our on-ice stuff," Ftorek said. So he cancelled Friday's off-ice workouts and turned the morning scrimmage into a practice focusing on fundamentals, such as breakouts, defensive techniques and power plays.
"That will help us (Saturday night) in the game or at least allow them to have an idea of what we're looking to have done in the game," Ftorek said, "and they'll get a good rest in between. It's given them a good break. So we hope that will be beneficial for us."
* Tough test: The IceDogs will arrive in Erie on Saturday with roughly 16 veterans for the preseason game. Meanwhile, the Otters will play primarily young players. "Some of our young guys' eyes are going to be opened," Ftorek said. "Our guys are playing pretty good, but it's not a game. You know how the intensity picks up in a game. It will be interesting to see how they respond."

text: i was riding in my car one day listening to some music, when my subs cut out and i smelled something burning. I looked in my back seat and smoke was pouring out of my trunk. I have a 300.2 amp hooked up to 2 12" momo subs (everything i have is the carbon series). i checked all my wires and none of them were touching anything else, no fuses are blown anywhere, and the ground wire is still hooked in good. i didnt have my bass up real loud either. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may have caused this, or why my fuses didnt blow when they should have? I dont know if it matters or not, but i have no idea if my subs are bridged or not, my friend wired that up, while i was wiring my head unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
