Read an Excerpt
DON'T THINK. Just do it and get out.
Taylor Dundee sucked in a deep breath of mountain air, waited a moment, then shoved the key into the lock.
Six months later and she still got that empty, gutted feeling whenever she thought about sorting through her mother's things. Taylor steeled herself against the heartache, turned the knob, then slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The lingering scent hit her first. Apples and cinnamon. Every day when she'd come home from school, the house had smelled as if there was something baking in the oven.
Sunlight and shadows played over the pale green overstuffed sofa and love seat. Her mom's paintings hung on the walls, the scrapbooks she'd made were stacked on the table, along with a dried floral arrangement and the pottery her mother had fired in a kiln in the back.
It was almost as if Margaret Dundee was still there. But she wasn't. Her mother would never be here again. Taylor swallowed over a lump in her throat. Tears welled behind her eyes. She blinked them back. It would be so much easier if the dull ache in her chest would go away. Somehow she had to do this. Just do it and go.
Maybe if her mom's death hadn't been so sudden, the accident so strange . She simply couldn't understand how her mother had missed a turn on a road she'd driven hundreds of timescouldn't understand why her mother was on the road at two in the morning or why she'd called earlier that day to tell Taylor she had to talk to her.
From the coffee table, she picked up one of the ceramic miniatures that her mother had so carefully crafted, holding it in the palm of her hand. A littlegirl, kneeling in prayer, every tiny feature hand painted. Her mom had said she'd patterned the figurine after Taylor as a child when she'd kneel by her bed to say her prayers.
She closed her hand around it, then stuck it in her Taylor Made purse. She headed for the kitchen to make coffee. Leaving Phoenix at five that morning to beat the heat, she'd been too preoccupied to stop for breakfast. It had taken all the courage she could muster to finally go home to her mom's. Several months later than she should have. She ran some water in the coffeepot. As she shut off the faucet, she heard a thump.
She froze. There was a loud scratching sound. Then nothing.
Maybe it was a tree branch scraping the house or a squirrel on the roof. Nothing bad ever happened in Prescott, Arizona, right? Taylor edged down the hall.
Reaching the open door to her mother's bedroom, she gasped. The dresser drawers were pulled out, some upside down on the floor. The sheer white curtains floated high on the summer breeze through the open window. She swung around, making sure she was alone.
Something moved to her left. Her heart leaped as a blur of silver and gray streaked across the room and landed on the windowsill. "Oh, jeez!" The neighbor's calico hissed and arched his back like a Halloween cat. Adrenaline pumped through Taylor's veins. "Dammit, Lion, you scared me half to death. Shoo. Go home. Scare someone else." Taylor pulled out her cell phone and then tapped in 911. "There's been a a break-in at 7508 Kokopelli Drive," she said and started for the front door.
"Your name, please?"
"Taylor Dundee. My mother's house has been broken into. Everything's a mess."
"Is anyone there? Are you in danger?"
"I don't think so. Not as far as I can tell, anyway." For all she knew, this could have happened right after the funeral. Wasn't that when thieves and scam artists preyed on unsuspecting families?
"Your phone number, please."
She rattled off the number as she walked past her mother's office, stopped and took a quick glance inside. Papers everywhere. File drawers ajar. But the computer was still on the desk.
Taylor glanced from one side of the room to the other. Though it was a mess, nothing appeared to be missing.
"Can you please send someone now?" The vandals might be long gone, but as far as she was concerned, the police couldn't get there fast enough.
"I'm getting the information into the system as we speak, ma'am. They're already on their way."
"Thank you," Taylor said, then hung up. Who could have done this and when? The obituary had been in the paper, thieves could have watched the house and realized it was empty, taken advantage of the opportunity.
She thought about checking the other rooms, but decided against it. It had been twelve years since she'd gone off to college and the last she knew, her old room was still the same as when she left a constant reminder of her depressing high school years. If someone had trashed it, that was fine with her.
The floor squeaked behind her. A hand landed on her shoulder and she swung arounda scream in her throat.
"Miss Dundee?"
She took a deep breath. The man looked to be about her age, thirty maybe a little older.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he said.
"What do you want?" She moved to the side, keeping the window in her mother's room in mind as an escape option.
Tall, dark hair She'd seen him somewhere before. He had to be someone from town, but she couldn't place him.
"I'm Jack. Jack Parker," he said. "The door was open."
"Do you know my mother?"
"No, I don't."
She felt dwarfed by him, he was a head taller, over six feet. "Then what are you doing here?"
"I came to see your mother earlier, but I discovered from a neighbor that she, uh, passed away," he said gently.
"I'm sorry. You have my condolences."
Taylor hitched herself up. He didn't seem dangerous, but there was no way to know. "I called the police. They'll be here any second," she said.
His forehead furrowed as he glanced toward her mother's office. "I think the police are a little too late." He stepped around her, still assessing the situation. "Did you check the rest of the house?"
"Why did you want to see my mother?"
He turned to face her. "It's business."
"It's six in the morning. You have strange business hours, Mr. Parker." She took another step back toward the living room and the front door.
"Actually I hadn't planned on talking to anyone right now. When I was here before, a neighbor said I should get in touch with you. I was out for breakfast and drove by on my way to the hotel. I wanted to leave a note for you to contact me when it was convenient. But I saw the open door and got concerned." He peered behind her. "I just wish I'd come earlier. Caught whoever did this."
He had a smooth speaking voice with an accent like Abigail, Taylor's neighbor in Scottsdale who'd grown up in Texas. He was also quick with answers. "Well, as you can see, this isn't a good time."
He gave her an apologetic look. "Right, and I'm sorry about that. I can come back another time but maybe it would be better if I waited with you for the police."
He wouldn't stay if he'd had anything to do with the mess. "Thank you, but it's not necessary."
He didn't make any move to leave, so she asked, "What kind of business? Did my mother sign up for some bookof-the-month club and forget to pay the bill?" She was trying to lighten things but instead it probably came off as flip. It was true though. Being an artist, her mother had no head for business and frequently forgot what she called "the unimportant things."
He smiled, and she relaxed a little. If it weren't for the intense green eyes, his olive complexion and dark hair would make her think he was Italian, or Hispanic maybe. Handsome and very sexy.
Not that it mattered. She wasn't in the market for sexy or anything else.
"It's a bit more complicated than that," he said, frowning and gesturing toward the living room. "Did you check in there?"
"I came in that way. But" She waved a hand at her old room. "I didn't look in that room."
He strode past her, glanced inside and said, "No mess." He smiled reassuringly.
"Good," she said, then headed back down the hall toward the living room. Sweat dampened the back of her neck under her hair, and she felt her camisole top sticking to her back like a second skin. "What did you mean?" she asked over her shoulder. "More complicated than what?"
"It's about an old crime I'm looking into."
She stopped abruptly and turned. He was so close behind, he stumbled into her, then grabbed her by the shoulders to steady them both.
"Looking into?" She gave him the once-over. In jeans, a Houston Astros T-shirt and cowboy boots, he didn't look like a police officer. And the Mickey Mouse watch on his tanned wrist wasn't exactly cop attire, either.
He took out an official-looking ID from his back pocket. "I'm with the Houston Chronicle, and I'm writing a story about a crime that occurred thirty years ago."
Texas. She'd been right. "What does that have to do with my mother?"
"I wanted to ask her some questions."
"And, obviously you can't do that."
"Can we sit?" He walked slowly toward the couch.
"Maybe you can help by telling me some things about her."
An alarm went off inside her. "No. I can't do that," she said without hesitation. He could be a serial killer for all she knew.
"Mind telling me why not?" "Because I don't know you, Mr. Parker. I'm not going to share information about my mother with a stranger."
He crossed his arms and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "I understand. If you let me explain, you might think differently."
His earnest tone gave her pause. The police were on their way, so "I don't know what you think my mother could have possibly known about your story, but okay. Explain."
The okay was barely out of her mouth before he launched into it. "Thirty years ago your mother worked for a wealthy family in Houston where the crime was committed. I wanted to talk to her about some of the people she'd worked with, but since that's not possible now, I started wondering if maybe your mother ever mentioned any of them to you. And, if so, what she might have said about them."
Taylor's mother had never mentioned living in Houston, much less working for someone where a crime had been committed. "When did you say this happened?"
"Thirty years ago."
"Who was the employer? What happened?"
He clenched his hands. "The employer was Seymour Hawthorne, a prominent citizen in Houston. His wife, Sunny Hawthorne, was murdered and a lot of money and jewelry were stolen."
"But I think you've mistaken my mother for someone else. My mother never lived in Texas. And, believe me, if she'd known about something as serious as a murder, she would have mentioned it to me some time in the past thirty years."
He frowned. "Your mother never said anything about working for the Hawthornes?" "I've never heard a word. I think you might need to do more research to get your story straight." She raised a brow.
He didn't bat an eyelid at her assessment. He didn't head for the door, either. And in a way, she didn't mind. Having someone there delayed her from sorting through her mother's things.
"That's what I've done, Taylor. A lot of research and it led me here. I'm certain your mother knew the Hawthornes very well. She lived with them and I believe she knew something about what happened that night."
Taylor's skin prickled at the way he'd so casually used her first name. As an advertising/marketing major in college, she knew salespeople did that all the time to make them seem more personable and to develop a quick intimacy. She knew all the tricks. Unfortunately, she wasn't always this good at spotting them. Her ex-fiancé, Reed, had been an expert in the art of manipulation.
"Well, I don't know what else to say, except that my mother never mentioned anything."
Parker came over and stood in front of her. "How about Margot Cooper? Is that name familiar?"
"No." Taylor shook her head. "Why?"
"Well, Margot Cooper worked for the Hawthornes and the night of the murder, the same night the money and jewels were stolen, she disappeared."
Taylor pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm not making the connection. Do you think my mother knew this person?"
At her question, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph. "This is Margot Cooper."
Taylor glanced down. Her heart stopped.
He handed her the picture. "It's thirty years old, but I'm sure you can tell who it is."
Taylor's hand shook as she clasped the photo. The resemblance to her mother was uncanny. In fact, Taylor remembered seeing a similar photo. She turned it over, squinting to read the faded writing on the back. It looked like Mar something and Cooper. "Where did you get this?"
"In Houston. It's from an old personnel file." Taylor's heart pounded. Texas again. But she would know if her mother ever lived in Texas. They were close. As close as a mother and daughter could be. She would know.
"I can see the similarities, but this isn't my mother."
One side of his mouth lifted slightly.
She couldn't tell if it was a condescending smile or not, but it made her blood rush in anger. What he was inferring was ridiculous. "I'm done talking, Mr. Parker. Now, please leave." Taylor walked over and held open the front door.
He started to go out, but stopped in the doorway. "They arrested someone for the murder, but the money and jewelry were never found. The police thought Margot Cooper might have known something about those things because she disappeared that same night. They looked for her for a long time. Eventually, when they had no new leads, they stopped the investigation."
He stared at Taylor. "People don't disappear for no reason, Taylor."
Her head started to pound. "So, you're saying my mother was not only using an alias, but she was a thief as well?"
"No," he said softly. "And I'm sorry if it sounded that way. What I believe is that your mother knew a lot of the people in the householdand others who came and wentand maybe she knew something that could be important to the case, and maybe sometime in the past thirty years she'd said something to someone that might give me a clue. Since you've spent the most time with her, I was hoping you might give me some insight."
She heard the plea in his voice. This was obviously important to him. But surely he could write his story even if he didn't talk to Taylor.
"She may have said something that you wouldn't even think is significant," he continued before she could get in a word. He reached out and picked up the photo of Taylor and her mom on the table next to the door. He studied it briefly, then set it back. "You know, from the damage to this house, I'd say I'm not the only one who wants to know something about your mother."
The thought that someone had been in the house creeped her out. "If you're trying to scare me, it's not working."
He tipped his head toward the entertainment unit in the living room. "I'm telling you to be careful. They weren't looking for electronics."
Yeah. She'd already realized that.

On my site i rewrite all my domains to the root such as
I also have a few before it which all work (there are all simple and only specify a DocumentRoot)
Now the problem is i have a complex VirtualHost. Its like 16lines. I have a ServerAlias however apache never uses it because it uses the
*.mysite.com rule and rewrites instead of using that virtaulhost specifying a specific subdomain.
How do i solve this? is there an option i can use that uses wildcards last? or choose the ordering of the files it looks at? or do i need to copy/paste the virtualhost into that other file?

I believe you are speaking of the most traditional (DVD) installer, and not the LiveOS/CD/USB installer. I just added the following to the feature wiki-
clarification note: This is only an alternate method to the current LiveOS installer. This method does not provide any interesting alternative to the old school non-live DVD installer. Though it does provide an alternative for DVD-sized LiveOS spin's installers. This architecture could provide a rebootless equivalent to what it sounds like opensuse achieves with kexec, but that is just an idea with no proof of concept yet, unrelated to this feature. Nor does this feature pertain in any way to upgrade scenarios, just as the current Fedora LiveOS installer does not (I believe) support any kind of upgrade. (I believe vanilla anaconda may be usable to perform upgrades from the current LiveCD, but that is not a use-case that is well documented/advertised. Wiki editors, please confirm/deny)
Thanks everyone for the vetting so far.Thanks a lot for the proposal and the work you've put into it. I'm sure we all are interested in it, but many of use are just a little skeptical if it really works out. Please don't let this skepticism scare you. :)
No need to worry, I've been around the fedora-devel block once or twice before. The technique/technology here I first published as a bash script on this list a couple years ago. I think what is sinking in is that people need GUIs and lots of clear documentation in order to mitigate their skepticism. It's getting there...
Thanks, -dmc

Good Points
Grazing animals in spacious paddocks.
Lovely walled garden.
Tractor rides.
Close encounters unit.
fantastic fairgroud and model railway
Bad Points
Bird display OK but not brilliant.
Some enclosures were slightly old fashioned but all animals looked happy enough.
Long walks.
General Comments
Set in Wales, in the grounds of a manor house, which is lovely. The first area is the spacious paddocks home to camels and free range deer. Near this is a massive enclosure home to zebra, bison and emu. A small grotto is lovely and near it is the flamingo pool. Behind the manor is the kiddies farm, with farm animals in good pens. The close encounters unit has rabbits, invertebrates and budgies in good enclosures. The walled garden is home to small animals in good enclosures including owls, lemurs, meerkats and otters. One thing though, the penguin enclosure isn't perfect but the penguins look happy. Inside there is a bird house, reptile house. Other attractions include a fantastic model railway! If you want a fun day out visit here!

City Re: Meanwhile, Down the Ballot
Last week, I reported that Seattle Citizens for Free Speech, the pro-strip club group, had raised nearly $550,000 for its campaign to repeal the four-foot rule in strip clubs. This, I though, was perhaps the largest amount ever raised for a city initiative. Turns out I was wrong. As Seattle Ethics and Elections director Wayne Barnett (no relation) points out, the Better City Campaign, which advocated for the failed Commons proposal in 1995, raised $939,261. However, I think the strip clubs may yet beat that record.

More than 700 mountain bikers will tackle the seventh annual
Contact Epic mountain biking challenge around Lake Hawea
Among them will be 30 ''Last Man Standing'' (LMS) contenders
in the running for a cash kitty set up by race organisers in
the event's first year.
The group, aged from 22 to 66, contains only riders who have
completed the 125km Epic race distance each year.
The prize money, which is added to each year, will eventually
be awarded to the last man or woman standing who has ridden
the most consecutive events.
''We have heard some fantastic stories of commitment. And
that's not just from the riders but their families, too,''
race director Danielle Nicholson said.
''From wedding anniversaries spent by wives at the Hawea
Holiday Camp with the four kids while hubby rides, to giving
up smoking to ensure an increased lung capacity.''
More than half of this year's competitors will compete in the
full 125km circumnavigation of the lake.
The newer Contact Traverse ride, a shorter 35km circuit that
leaves Lake Hawea and follows the Hawea and upper Clutha
rivers, has attracted more than 100 riders. The rest will
compete in the 95km Classic ride.
The 2013 Epic winners, Dougal Allan and Kath Kelly, will
return this year to defend their respective titles.
Allan has just returned from winning China's Wenzhou Outdoor
Challenge as part of a team, while five-time women's champion
Kelly will have her work cut out for her with the return of
2012 women's champion Kim Hurst.
''It will be a head-to-head,'' Mrs Nicholson said.
The Contact Epic race starts at 7am tomorrow.

This morning we announced the availability of Visual Studio Team System Beta 2. You can download the bits from MSDN here. With this release we are very nearly feature complete. We expect a few more features to get turned on in the next couple months via CTPs and will do some work based on customer feedback we receive from this beta. One of the most exciting updates for the beta imho is the ability to install the TFS on a single machine, both data and middle tier (which means we've worked out w/ the SQL Server guys how to share a common version of the Whidbey runtime).
Folks on the team are very happy to have shipped beta 2 because it signifies a turning point and now all efforts are clearly pointing to driving the final quality up and getting ready to ship later this year.

Sept. 27, 2012
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University volleyball team (6-9, 0-2) returns home to McDonough Arena this weekend for two BIG EAST conference matches. They take on Seton Hall (14-1, 2-0) Friday, Sept. 28 and Rutgers Sunday, Sept. 30.
The Hoyas opened BIG EAST play with two losses over the weekend to St. John's (15-3, 2-0) and Connecticut (11-6, 2-0). GU was swept by St. John's, but pushed Connecticut to four sets. The team's losing streak now stands at eight games.
Senior Lindsay Wise (Raleigh, N.C./Raleigh Charter) hit a match-high .462 with seven kills on just 13 attempts against St. John's. Junior outside hitter Brooke Bachesta (Sammamish, Wash./Eastside Catholic) had a season-high 14 kills and added seven digs at Connecticut.
Sophomore Alex Johnson (Tampa, Fla./Plant) had double-doubles in both matches, bringing her season total to nine.
The Pirates have won 11 straight after sweeping Saint Peter's (1-16) Tuesday night. Simona Sekulova led with a match-high 13 kills. They rested some of their best players in the non-conference match, after beginning BIG EAST play 2-0 with wins over Pittsburgh (10-6, 1-1) and USF (9-7, 1-1) last weekend. Several seldom-used reserves got extended playing time in the match.
Seton Hall's Amanda Hansen was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week on Monday, Sept. 24 for her performance in the two BIG EAST matches. Teammate Shelbey Manthorpe was also named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for her weekend, including a triple-double against Pittsburgh with 34 assists, 12 kills and 16 digs.
Seton Hall's lone loss this year came in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of Ohio State at the Maryland Invitational in College Park, Md. GU beat Seton Hall 3-0 last season in South Orange, N.J.
Rutgers (14-3, 0-2) opened BIG EAST play with losses to USF and Pittsburgh. Through two matches, Ronnie Komisarek leads the BIG EAST in service aces versus conference opponents. Stephanie Zielinski ranks 18th in the NCAA with 11.55 assists per set.
Coming into the weekend, the Scarlet Knights only loss in the non-conference was a 3-0 sweep against Miami (Fla.). The Blue & Gray defeated Rutgers a season ago in a close five-set match in Piscataway, N.J., and have won the last two in the series.
Following Sunday, the Hoyas are home again Saturday, Oct. 6 to face BIG EAST rival Villanova (5-10, 0-2) at 3 p.m.

Artificially Controversial Adnan Syed Case Adds To Tilt Against Victims Worldwide
Posted by The Machine
Victim Hae Min Lee; bottom, podcaster Sarah Koenig basking in celebrity
1. The Media Overview
Doug Preston, John Douglas, Steve Moore and Bruce Fischer are by no means the only crackpots in America perpetrating innocence fraud.
Their main distinction was to perpetrate it in English against a victim and a police and court system of other countries, using ignorance and smears and a largely complicit American media to trample hard truths in the case.
But innocence fraud is still a tiny industry in Italy as compared with the godzilla it is becoming in America - often with politically vulnerable judges and usually with naive do-gooders in compliance.
2. The Adnan Syed/Hae Min Lee serial podcast
Much of the public seems to have developed an insatiable appetite for documentaries about people who have been convicted of murders they allegedly didn't commit. Faux TV documentaries title American Girl, Italian Nightmare, Paradise Lost, West of Memphis, and Making of a Murderer, have all been watched by millions of people.
Podcasts are another way of reaching them. Wikipedia defines a podcast as "a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or portable media player, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically."
High school student Hae Min Lee was the victim in this 1999 Baltimore murder case and her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was convicted in 2000 of her murder and is serving a life sentence plus 30 years.
The serial podcast about the Adnan Syed/Hae Min Lee case has been downloaded over 80 million times now. According to Apple, it's the fastest podcast to reach five million downloads and streams in the history of iTunes.
In the light of public sentiment inflamed by it a retrial has been ordered, a ruling which Maryland's attorney general will now seek to overturn.
Why was this serial podcast so popular?
Natasha Vargas-Cooper and Ken Silverstein made the following observation about the success of Serial in an article about the case for The Intercept:
"The reality is that 'Serial' only worked if it could demonstrate that there were serious doubts about the fairness of Syed's trial and conviction. If he were guilty, there was no story. The storytelling device was to amplify claims that favored Syed's defense and contrast that with a watered-down version of the state's case"
TV producers and podcast makers know full well that an innocent person being railroaded by corrupt or incompetent cops is a far more melodramatic story than a run-of-the-mill domestic violence murder.
Paul Ciolino admitted in a question and answer session about the Meredith Kercher case at Seattle University that CBS News didn't care whether someone was innocent. The only thing they care about is the story.
"I work for CBS News. I want to tell you one thing about CBS. We don't care if you did it. We don't care if you're innocent. We like a story. We want to do a story. That's all we care about."
CBS News produced one of the most biased and factually inaccurate documentaries about the Meredith Kercher case "American Girl, Italian Nightmare".
The CBS documentary is an archetypal example of innocence fraud. The story is told primarily from the defence point of view, incriminating pieces of evidence are ignored and the programme contains a number of significant factual errors.
3. Faults by podcast creator Sarah Koenig
The Serial is another example of innocence fraud. Sarah Koenig, the executive producer and host of Serial, tries to be partial and objective, but fails miserably.
Instead of maintaining a professional distance from Adnan Syed, she becomes emotionally attached to him, and it's clear she desperately wants to believe he's innocent.
She can barely hide her disappointment when she finds out things that show Syed in a bad light. Her comments that Syed doesn't seem like a killer are just crass. She comes across as an unwordly academic who has been sheltered from the real world in her ivory tower.
She says she doesn't buy the motive put forward by the prosecution i.e. Adnan Syed couldn't deal with being dumped by Hae Min Lee and it erupted in violence.
In reality, people kill other people for the most banal and trivial reasons. She doesn't seem to understand that there are seven billion on the planet and not everyone shares her logic and morals. There have been a number of high-profile murder cases where seemingly normal people have committed horrific and senseless murders with little or no motive.
And motive is not a required element in any common law jurisdiction.
She adopts a piecemeal cherrypicking approach to the evidence and analyses each piece of evidence in isolation from the other pieces of evidence. If there's an alternative innocent explanation not matter how far-fetched it is, she wrongly assumes it nullifies that particular piece of evidence.
It's no surprise she concludes there isn't enough evidence to convict Adnan Syed of murder: "It's not enough, to me, to send anyone to prison for life."
She doesn't understand the concept and application of the "beyond a reasonable doubt standard" and that all the pieces of evidence have to be considered wholly, not separately - by a jury actually present to size up all witnesses.
According to the Supreme Court of the United States in Victor. Nebraska (92-8894), 511 U.S. 1 (1994):
"…absolute or mathematical certainty is not required."
"You may be convinced of the truth of a fact beyond a reasonable doubt and yet be fully aware that possibly you may be mistaken."
You put all the pieces of evidence together to see whether a picture of guilt emerges.
According to the Supreme Court of Canada in Stewart v. The Queen, [1977] 2 SCR 748:
"It may be, and such is often the case, that the facts proven by the Crown, examined separately have not a very strong probative value; but all the facts put in evidence have to be considered each one in relation to the whole, and it is all of them taken together, that may constitute a proper basis for a conviction."
4. Main facts of the case against Adnan Syed
The key pieces of evidence in the case were the testimony of his friend Jay Wilds and the mobile phone records which destroyed Adnan Syed's initial alibi that he was at the mosque on the evening of 13 January 1999 - the day Hae Min Lee disappeared- and corroborated Wilds' claims that he and Adnan were in Leakin Park that evening.
This is significant because Hae Min Lee's body was found in Leakin Park. There's no question that Jay Wilds had inside knowledge about the murder - he led the police to Hae Min Lee's car. He confessed to being an accessory to murder after the fact.
On 13 January 1999, Hae Min Lee was supposed to pick up her cousin from the Campfield Early Learning Center after school and take her home. She must have been abducted by her killer whilst on the way to the kindergarten.
This means the window of opportunity for her killer to abduct her was extremely narrow. It takes approximately 11 minutes to drive the 3.8 miles from Woodlawn High School to the kindergarten.
Jay Wilds told the police that Adnan Syed's plan was to get a lift with Hae Min Lee. Becky and Krista, who were friends with Hae and Syed, claim they heard him asking Hae for a lift on 13 January 1999. Scott Adcock, a police officer, testified that Syed had told him he had asked Hae for a lift that day.
Syed would later deny that he had asked Hae for a lift. Adnan Syed had lent Wilds his mobile phone and car that day. However, it should be pointed out that it wasn't the first time that Syed had done this.
Kevin Urick, one of the prosecutors, acknowledged in his interview with The Intercept that the two key pieces of evidence - the mobile records and Jay Wilds' testimony - are of weaker probative value when considered separately, but pointed out that when you put them together, they are strong pieces of evidence.
"Jay's testimony by itself, would that have been proof beyond a reasonable doubt?" Urick asked rhetorically. "Probably not. Cellphone evidence by itself? Probably not."
But, he said, when you put together cellphone records and Jay's testimony, "they corroborate and feed off each other–it's a very strong evidentiary case."
He also pointed out that the mobile phone records destroyed Adnan Syed's alibi that he was at the mosque on the evening of 13 January 1999. From The Intercept:
"Yes. Early on in the Syed case, the defense sent us a disclosure of about eighty names stating that these were witnesses that were going to testify that Syed was at the mosque because it was Ramadan. He was praying all evening and that's where he was [Intercept ed's. note: We have corrected this in the introduction].
If they called those eighty witnesses, they would've obviously been testifying falsely, because the cellphone records in conjunction with all the evidence we gathered about the cellphone towers, who made the calls, who received them, place him everywhere but at the mosque.
The best defense an attorney can put on is the defense the client is telling them. But attorneys still are not supposed to put on fabricated evidence. And that would've been fabricated evidence. And I think once Gutierrez recognized that fact, she did not put it on."
Adnan Syed chose not to testify at both his trials. If he had, Kevin Urick would have asked him a pertinent question.
"And my very last question would be, what is your explanation for why you either received or made a call from Leakin Park the evening that Hae Min Lee disappeared, the very park that her body was found in five weeks later?"
The mobile phone records also showed there was a call from his mobile phone to his friend Nisha's landline at 3:32pm on the day Hae disappeared. This is significant because Jay Wilds didn't know Nisha and Adnan Syed claims he didn't have his phone at this time as Jay Wilds had it. The phone call lasted more than two minutes.
Sarah Koening speculates that the Nisha call could have been a "butt dial".
Dana Chivvis, one of the "Serial" producers, puts the pieces of evidence together in episode 12 and seems to have serious reservations about Adnan Syed's innocence.
"Adnan has always said it was his idea to loan Jay the car because he wanted to get Stefanie a birthday present right. So that's pretty crappy luck that you loaned this guy who ends up pointing the finger at you for the murder that you loaned him your car and cell phone the day you ex-girlfriend goes missing. The next thing is that it seems pretty clear to me that Adnan asked Hae for a ride after school because we've got at least two of their friends saying they overheard him ask for a ride from Hae.
Adnan himself tells the cop that day he asked Hae for a ride. And In Jay's first interview with the detectives, he says to them Adnan's plan was to get in Hae's car by telling her that his car was broken down and asking her for a ride. Then the next piece of bad luck is the Nisha call. I mean even if the Nisha call could potentially be a butt dial… in the realm of possibility maybe it was a butt dial, but what are the chances? Like that sucks for for you that your phone butt dialled the girl that only you know and would call on this day your ex-girlfriend goes missing that you happen to loan your car and phone out to the guy who ends up pointing the finger at you. That sucks.
And the last thing that I think really sucks for him if he's innocent is that Jay's story and the cell phone records match up from about 6 o'clock to about 8 o'clock which is when Jay is saying that you're burying the body and that's the time of day when you have no memory of where you were…But you Adnan you don't really remember where you were that evening and that blank spot in your memory that's the window of time when Jay's story actually does seem to be corroborated by the cell phone records."
It's important to put the evidence that Dana Chivvis outlines into the wider context of Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee's deteriorating relationship.
In November 1998, two months before Hae Min Lee was murdered, she wrote a break-up note to Syed telling him to move on, accept her decision to end their relationship, and to "hate me if you will." On the back of the note Adnan Syed wrote: "I'm going to kill."
Is it a coincidence that two months later that Hae Min Lee was killed?
Is it a coincidence that Adnan Syed can remember very little about this day even though it wasn't an ordinary day because the police called him to tell that Hae was missing and asked him if he knew where she was?
Ann Brocklehurst wrote a blog article criticising Sarah Koenig for consistently minimising the warning signs of intimate partner violence and noted that she overlooked that fact that Hae had asked a teacher, Hope Schab, to help her hide from Syed.
5. Doubts Sarah Koenig tries to raise
Sarah Koenig seems to think that Asia McClain is a credible witness - she claims she saw Adan Syed in the library that afternoon. However, Kevin Urick points out why the judge in the post-conviction trial didn't take her claim seriously.
"I think the judge in the post-conviction trial does a very good job of pointing out that in the letters to Syed, she is very vague and indifferent about what she's doing. The difficulty comes from Syed. In all his statements about his whereabouts the day of the case he says that he was at the school from 2:15pm to 3:30pm.
He never once, in any statement, at any time, made any reference about being in the public library. His defense was that he was at the school from 2:30 to 3:30. So [Asia McClain's] reporting seeing him at the public library contradicts what he says he was doing."
Kevin Urick also stated that Asia McClain told him she was being put under a lot of pressure from Adnan Syed's family.
"Asia contacted me before the post-conviction hearing, she got my number and called me and expressed to me a great deal of concern about whether or not she would have to testify at the post-conviction hearing. She told me she was under a lot of pressure from Adnan's family and to get them off her back she wrote him a couple letters.
The implication was she was trying to appease them and she didn't want to have to stick by it at that time. And I testified to that when I appeared in the post-conviction hearing."
Sarah Koenig also seems to think that Jay Wilds' testimony shouldn't have been used to convict Adnan Syed because he gave conflicting accounts. Kevin Urick explained why these inconsistencies don't discredit him as a witness.
"Like I said, people who are engaged in criminal activity, it's like peeling an onion. The initial thing they say is, 'I don't know a thing about this.' And then 'Well, I sort of saw this.' You get different stories as you go along. This is the real world. We don't pick our witnesses, we have to put them on as they are. There were a lot of inconsistencies throughout Jay's prior statements. Almost all of them involve what we would call collateral facts.
"A material fact is something directly related to the question of guilt or innocence. A material fact would have been, 'I was with Adnan,' and then you've got the cellphone corroborating that material fact. A collateral fact would be, We were at Joe's Sub Shop,' but then you find out actually they were at the auto repair store. That's a collateral fact. It's not necessarily material to the question of guilt or innocence. So, many of the material facts were corroborated through the cellphone records including being in Leakin Park."
Sarah Koenig is not the only person who thinks Jay Wilds' testimony shouldn't have been used to convict Adnan Syed.
Civil lawyer Richard Dwyer says doesn't believe Adnan Syed and thinks he might be guilty, but he states he shouldn't have been convicted because Jay Wilds gave conflicting statements and the timeline wasn't proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
There seems to be a widespread misconception that the prosecution must be able to prove with absolute certainty each and every element of a second-by-second comprehensive timeline and that witness testimony must be discounted if there are any contradictions.
The bottom line is the jury found Jay Wilds to be a credible witness and found Adnan Syed guilty of murder.
6. Some Conclusions
A biased and one-sided 12-part documentary presented by a partisan journalist doesn't supercede a criminal trial where the jurors get to hear the defence and prosecution present their cases and watch witnesses being cross-examined in court.
Justice shouldn't be a like a reality TV show where the public gets to decide whether someone convicted of murder should be allowed leave the big house. However, there's no doubt that these types of documentaries do influence legal proceedings. A judge has recently ruled that Adnan Syed will be given another trial.
We can expect Adnan Syed's supporters and a number of media organisations will try to influence the legal proceedings before and during the new trial. This couldn't happen in the UK because of the sub judice rules which prevents the media from commenting on a case until a verdict is reached in order to prevent the jury from being swayed.
The Guardian recently published an article entitled "Adnan Syed is innocent. Now find Hae Min Lee's real killer", which was written by Adnan Syed's chief advocate Rabia Chaudry. I hope the mainstream media provide balanced and factually accurate reports on the case - something they didn't do when covering the Meredith Kercher case.
Journalists and the public should remember that a miscarriage of justices are not just cases where innocent people have been convicted of crimes they didn't commit. They include cases where people have literally got away with murder. I can't think of one documentary about such a case.
7. The reactions of Hae Min Lee's family
Hae Min Lee's family sat through the trials along with the juries and have no doubts that Adnan Syed killed her.
"It remains hard to see so many run to defend someone who committed a horrible crime, who destroyed our family, who refuses to accept responsibility, when so few are willing to speak up for Hae."
Unlike Sarah Koenig or any of the 80 million people who downloaded the Serial podcasts, they actually attended every day of both trials, heard the arguments put forward from the defence and prosecution and saw the witnesses being cross-examined on the stand.
"unlike those who learn about this case on the internet, we sat and watched every day of both trials – so many witnesses, so much evidence".

Alteration of natural habitats as a result of agricultural intensification is detrimental for wildlife. There is, however, growing evidence that land use and management
can be wildlife friendly. In Europe, agricultural areas cover two-thirds of the land and therefore play a major role in maintaining biodiversity. Agricultural land use is very intense in vineyard-dominated landscapes but there are no refuges for wildlife in the form of ecological compensation areas. In our study, we assessed spatial variation in abundance of salamander (Salamandra salamandra) larvae in relation to land use and stream characteristics in vineyard-dominated landscapes. Abundance of larval salamanders depended positively on weirs, amount of riparian vegetation along the streams and environment-friendly agricultural practice in the vineyards. Surprisingly, road density also had positive effects, presumably through indirect effects (stone walls along roads may serve as refugia). Thus, abundance is determined by characteristics of both the aquatic and terrestrial
habitats. Our results suggest that fire salamanders can persist in landscapes dominated by intensive agriculture like viticulture, indicate wildlife-friendly management
options and highlight that man-made habitat can be valuable for wildlife.

Liam Neeson explains why and when he turned down the Bond role
Actor News - 07-03-14The Irish star of Schindler's List (1993), Star Wars and Batman explained he was once offered the iconic tuxedo of 007.
The 61-year-old actor who has recently been on the publicity trail for his new action/thriller "Non-Stop" (2014) told The Mirror: "I was heavily courted, let�s put it that way, and I�m sure some other actors were too."
Neeson admits he was a contender when the Bond producers were looking for a replacement for Timothy Dalton. Bond producers Cubby Broccoli, Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli ultimately turned to Pierce Brosnan, the actor who had been lined up to become 007 back in 1986, before Timothy Dalton was cast. Admits Neeson: "It was about 18 or 19 years ago and my wife-to-be said, �If you play James Bond we�re not getting married�. And I had to take that on board because I did want to marry her."

The HP ProLiant Moonshot servers run on Intel Atom S1200 SoCs (at least at first), which are designed to facilitate efficiency and better density than ever for web workloads. Intel boasts that the Atom S1200 family of chips are the "industry's only available 64-bit SoC with critical data center class features such as full 64-bit software ecosystem support, ECC and Intel Virtualization Technology" that still falls within a 6W TDP. The Atom chips also help the ProLiant servers drop into any environment without the need for any porting.
From hot hardware
ARM will get to 64 bit, but the thing is that by the time they do, Intel will have the answer for whatever they introduce. Again, people need to understand that the server space that ARM is fighting for is a TINY piece of the server pie. Analysts make it sound like ARM could make a big dent in Intel's Global server revenues which is just asinine, not to mention deceptive.

Flush with crisp videography and frothy scenarios (hitchhiker, internet dating, etc.) Cougar Cruisin' provides worthwhile warmup fodder for couples, hetero women and single guys who prefer visual lacquer to vigorous whacking. Raincoaters need not apply.
We liked the cast overall, but the g/g/b threesomes never quite reach volcanic heights. For example: Ashley Jensen/RayVeness/Stafford and Darryl Hanah/Scarlett Fay/Damage ... imagine a game of mental musical chairs, wherein RayVeness and Darryl are on the same team! It might defeat the older/younger theme but the (potential) fireworks would ... ah, never mind. Cougar Cruisin' provides enough solid erotica to go around no matter how ya slice it.

Media "The consumption of blogs is often avid and occasionally obsessive."
posted by July 17 at 14:50 PMon
You think? The Wall Street Journal today has a piece about the 10th anniversary of the advent of blogs, and a dozen people—Newt Gingrich, Tom Wolfe, Mia Farrow (!?)—list their favorite blogs and opine about about, you know, what it all means.
(Digression: Slog is not mentioned—the outrage!—although the word "slogging" comes up in the throat-clearing intro—
…The spell check on Microsoft Word has yet to awaken to the concept of the blog. Type in "blogging," for instance, and you will promptly earn a disapproving underscore in red, with the suggestion that "bogging," "clogging," "flogging" or "slogging" (unappetizing alternatives all) might, in truth, be the word you seek.
—but that's it.)
