56. William Ward , of Stepney , was indicted for assaulting John Wightman , on the Highway, putting him in Fear, and taking from him one Guinea, and 6s. 6d. Feb. 27 .
He was a second Time indicted for assaulting John Lloyd on the Highway, putting him in Fear, and taking from him 7 s. Feb. 27 .
Mr. Lloyd. On Tuesday, the 27th of Feb. about a Quarter past 7, in the Evening, as we were coming in a Coach from Ilford , the Coach was stopt a little on this side the turning that goes to Stepney . I let down the Glass, and the Prisoner came to the Door, and presented a Pistol within the Coach. Pray Friend, says I, take away your Pistol, which he did. Mr. Wightman, who sat on the other side, said, What's the Matter? Why, don't you see his Pistol? says I. Upon that Mr. Wightman starts up, and says, I have got two half Guineas, and some Silver, and I'll give them you presently. Mr. Wightman gave him something; but not satisfied with that, the Prisoner would search him, and then making me stand up, he searched me.
Court. Are you certain that the Prisoner is the Man? Had you any Light to see him by?
Mr. Lloyd. Yes, a Servant attended the Coach with a Moon, and I saw the Prisoner plainly by that; I look'd full at him all the Time. The Moon was a little way off, as far perhaps, as from your Lordship to me; but it was so placed, that it cast a Light into the Coach. After the Prisoner had robb'd us, my Coachman leaning from his Box, I heard a Pistol go off, at which the Horses started and run forward. Next Morning I went to Newgate, and desir'd the Keeper to let me see the Man who was committed. the last Night for such a Robbery; the Person who went to show me the Prisoner, told me, I should not see him singly, because it was a Case, in which a Man's Life was in Danger. This I thought was Humanity; and as it was what I little expected to find in Newgate, I was the more pleas'd with it, and gave the Man some Money. He brought me to a Place, where the first Man I happen'd to cast my Eye on, was the Prisoner: I knew him immediately, and said, That's the Man that robb'd me. The Prisoner answer'd, I am sorry that I ever saw you.
Prisoner. Mr. Lloyd has been to Mr. Akerman, the former Turnkey, to know if I had not been in Jail before.
Mr. Wightman. When the Coach was stopt (as Mr. Lloyd has Sworn) I ask'd what was the Matter? Mr. Lloyd said, Don't you see? And I then perceiv'd the Prisoner presenting a Pistol in the Coach. Says I, pray be civil, I have a Guinea and some Silver. I gave him two half Guineas, and he took half a Crown and some Shillings out of my Pocket. I desir'd him to leave my Keys, and he said he had. He ask'd me, for my Watch, and I told him I had none. My Man rode before the Coach with a Moon, that had 3 Candles in it. But there was another Highwayman, who brought my Man back with the Moon, to the Head of the Wheel-Horses, so that by that Light, I had a full view of the Prisoner, for he had no Mask, and am as positive, as I can be of any thing, that he is the Man who robb'd us.
Richard Bulkley . I was in the Coach with Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Wightman, when they were robb'd; but they turn'd so directly to the Coach-Door, that I could not see that Highwayman's Face, and for the same Reason, I believe, he hardly observ'd me; but I saw the other Highwayman bring the Moon back near to the Coach, and stand over him, to prevent an Alarm. I had got my Money ready to deliver, when the Coachman getting off his Box, fell upon the Highwayman next us; I heard one cry, Shoot! Shoot! and presently a Pistol went off, which I suppose, was fir'd by the other Highwayman; the Horses started at the Noise, and ran to the Turnpike.
Oxton Chapman. I carry'd the Moon, and coming thro' Mile-End, at the End of the Dog-Row, a Highwayman rode up to me, and said, if I offer'd to open my Lips he'd shoot me thro' the Head directly. While the other was robbing the Coach, the Coachman
James Price , Coachman. When the Highwaymen stopt the Moon-Man, I thought it had been a Quarrel, and cry'd Hai! what would you be at? I shall make one among you presently! With that, the Prisoner comes up to me, and says, You saucy old Rogue, I know you well enough, and I have a good mind to shoot you thro' the Head - Stand! And my Master called to me and said, Stand, James! The Prisoner went and robb'd the Coach; and the Light being betwixt me and the other Highwayman, I thought he could not well see to shoot me, and I knew the Prisoner could not, because his Head was in the Coach, and upon that Consideration I struck at the Prisoner twice, and knock'd him down dead.
Court. But he came to Life again ?
Price. Yes, yes; for at the second Blow he call'd to his Comrade and bid him shoot, and shoot he did; Aha! says I, * thee hast mist me, but I have hit + thee.
* To the Highwaymen who fired.
+ To the Prisoner.
Court. Are you sure the Prisoner is the Man you knock'd down?
Price. Sure? yes; I mark'd him well enough to know him again, besides he was never out of my Custody till he was carried before the Justice, and so sent to Newgate.
The Prisoner's Defence.
George Bird . Coming between Stratford and Bow I saw the Coach stop, and saw the Coachman make a Blow at the Prisoner, and knock him down, and I went to assist, and no Body meddled with him but the Coachman and I.
Court. Is this the Prisoner's Witness? He confirms the Prosecutor's Evidence; the Prosecutor should have call'd him.
Bird. The Prosecutor would not have me call'd, because his man should have all the Reward, tho' I ventur'd my Life as well as he when the Pistol was fired. I pick'd up a Pistol where the Coach stood.
Prisoner. Was no Body knock'd down but me?
Bird. Yes, Mr. Vanghan, who came to assist too; but I believe, the Coachman mistook him for one of the Highwaymen.
Prisoner. The Moon-Man said in Smithfield, that he'd hang me right or wrong, for the Reward, and he own'd he never see me before that Night.
Court. But it appears you was taken in the very Fact, carry'd directly before the Justice, and committed to Newgate. There can be no Pretence that you are not the Person.
Prisoner. I was vastly in Liquor, and coming by the Coach I was knock'd down.
Roger Smith . I have known the Prisoner these 20 Years, his Father and Mother were People of honest Character, and he himself was well educated at Exeter, and put Apprentice to a Painter, I never heard any Ill of him before.
Court. Has he follow'd his Business lately?
Smith. Yes.
John Williams . The Prisoner has dealt in Hors es for three Years past.
John Porfit . I keep the White-Hart Inn in High-Holbourn, the Prisoner sometimes us'd my House, I have known him about a Year; I always took him to be a civil, sober, sedate Man, and did not imagine he would be guilty of any such thing as this.
Mr. Wightman. I beg leave, my Lord, to ask Bird, if he knew the Prisoner before the Night he was taken?
Bird. Yes, when I came to see his Face.
Prisoner. When they search'd me before the Justice, they took 4 Guineas and a half, of my own Money, and they can't say that they found any other Money about me.
Mr. Lloyd. He put the Money that he took from Mr. Wightman and me in his Mouth, and I have since heard, that some Money and a Pistol was found in the Road where he was taken.
Court. Sir, you must speak no farther than your Knowledge; what you heard is no Evidence.
Prisoner. I hope your Lordship will order that I may have my own Money again, or that my Wife and Children may have it.
Court. The Court can give no Order about

RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> Norco High School head coach Larry Baker was out of timeouts, but he had plenty of seconds to work with Friday night in the second-round of a CIF-SS Inland Conference playoff game against Rancho Cucamonga at Los Osos High School.
So rather than risk trying to score from the RCHS 2-yard-line, Baker elected to go with a 19-yard field goal by Wes Koerfer. Despite a sudden gust of wind, Koerfer split the uprights with 25.8 seconds remaining to give the fourth-seeded Cougars a 23-21 win over Rancho Cucamonga.
The host Cougars (10-2) thought they had rallied for a win when quarterback Angel Manute fired a 10-yard pass to Blake Fisher, their second scoring hookup of the night, with 2:22 remaining. When Cristian Casillas converted the extra point, Rancho Cucamonga thought its work was finished.
That was not the case.
"We wanted to kick the ball deep, but the wind affected the kick and they returned it to midfield," said RCHS head coach Nick Baiz. "The wind really effected our kicking game and our passing game all night." But Norco overcame the strong, cold winds in its final possessio. Ther Cougars (9-3), who had taken a 20-7 lead at halftime, quickly moved to the RCHS 27 on a pass from Victor Miramontes to Angel Mota. Following a penalty, the Big XIII team zipped to the 13 on a run by Miramontes with a minute to play. Three rushing play moved the ball to the 2, with a new set of downs, but no timeouts.
"If something would have happened and with no timeouts, we would have been done," said Baker, who was named as head coach at Norco during the summer. "That's why we went for the field goal and Wes delivered.
"All our kids got the job done. As coaches, we put them in tight spots during thre game, but they came through."
Rancho Cucamonga (10-2) had defeated Norco 24-7 in its second game and Baker said it was something his team thought about during the week.
"They kids knew it was going to be a big test," he said, "but they wanted to see how far they had come."
Far enough to stop Rancho Cucamonga from pulling off a miracle finish. The Cougars reached their own 42 with time winding down but three passes, two incomplete, weren't enough to extend the season. RCHS' Matute was 16-for-35 for 237 yards, with three touchdowns. The ones to Fisher were for 47 and 10 yards and a third to Chase Stephens covered 33.
Norco's Coby Young scored twice and rushed for 148 yards on 29 rushes to carry the Cougars.

Pennsylvania Derby Pivotal in Wide-Open Race for Champion 3-Year-Old Male
Wise Dan in his stall at Saratoga as he prepares for his return. (Photo by Eclipse Sportswire)
By Tom Pedulla, America's Best Racing
Give trainer Charles LoPresti credit for having his priorities in order with Wise Dan.
His overriding concern after colic surgery was performed on the two-time defending Horse of the Year on May 16 was to do everything possible to make certain the 7-year-old gelding returned to being healthy and happy.
Once that happened, he very slowly worked Wise Dan back into peak condition, shaping and reshaping a schedule that fit the horse rather than pressing the horse to meet a predetermined plan.
Then, and only then, did LoPresti give any brief thought to an abbreviated campaign that might give the son of Wiseman's Ferry a shot at becoming only the second runner to sweep Horse of the Year honors for three successive seasons. Forego (1974-76) is the only other Thoroughbred to accomplish that since Ack Ack was the first to be named Horse of the Year, in 1971.
"I'm just glad that he's alive and we've got a chance to run him back," said LoPresti. "Horse of the Year really hasn't – I haven't even thought about that much at this point."
Veterinarians closely monitored Wise Dan throughout his comeback. He was given three-and-a-half weeks off after his operation. He was walking under tack four weeks out from surgery. Then it was back to the track for easy gallops that led to unpressured breezes.
"Works were slow in the beginning and I know everyone was concerned, but it was by design," LoPresti said. "I didn't want him to come out here and destroy the racetrack every day. You know, I wanted to bring him along slow."
LoPresti's initial target was the Fourstardave at Saratoga Race Course, a Grade 2 race Wise Dan had won the last two years. Again to his credit, the trainer abandoned that course of action when he realized that Wise Dan would benefit from more training.
"I was trying to make a race that he won last year and I realized that, you know, it's just not going to happen," he said. "We're just a little bit short of where we need to be."
That led to Wise Dan's entry into the $250,000 Bernard Baruch Handicap, another Grade 2 event, this Saturday at Saratoga. The gelding has turned in a series of promising breezes at the picturesque upstate New York venue. The first two were on turf with the last four on the main track. In the most recent of those, the aging star looked like a frisky colt again when he clicked off four furlongs in 47.92 seconds, seventh fastest of 101 horses to drill at that distance last Sunday.
Wise Dan, befitting his gaudy credentials, is to carry the top weight, at 127 pounds, in the Bernard Baruch. The race is one of four graded stakes being contested on Saturday at Saratoga. The $600,000 Woodward and the $500,000 Forego offer two Grade 1 events. The $300,000 Prioress holds Grade 2 status.
Wise Dan, a winner of 21 of 29 career starts who boasts earnings of $6,802,920 for owner Morton Fink, will have Hall of Famer John Velazquez aboard when he leaves from post five as the 3-5 favorite. If all goes well, he will have at least one more start, if not two, leading to the Breeders' Cup Mile. LoPresti did not rule out one more race after the Mile if Horse of the Year appears to be hanging in the balance.
LoPresti is careful not to get ahead of himself. He knows the Baruch will provide a stiff first test following such an extensive layoff. "Everybody tells me that it shouldn't affect him what happened to him. I don't think it's affected him," said LoPresti. "But, really and truly, you don't know that until you run."
Whatever the outcome, LoPresti will have the solace of knowing he did everything right. He put the horse before everything.

As of this writing, the spinach tragedy seems to be abating. Despite The Wall Street Journal's headline "Spinach's pain is arugula's gain," a New York Times dispatch revealed several East Coast grocery stores began restocking the iron-rich foliage as federal officials continued to reassure the public that the stuff was safe to eat as long as it was grown outside of Salinas Valley, California (the restocked spinach was grown in Colorado and Canada). Austin-based Whole Foods will start selling bunched--but not bagged--spinach this week at a few of its 187 stores. This after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 183 people in 26 states were afflicted with virulent E. coli bacteria after eating contaminated spinach.
Urban Bistro, chef Avner Samuel's newest Mediterranean foray and a casual step downward from his culinary "jewel box" Aurora, features veal scaloppini with braised spinach and caper berries in lemon jus. When asked about the dish, our server promptly urges us to substitute. "You know, technically, if you get it hot enough it's fine," she says. "But I wouldn't want to chance it until they find out where this is all coming from. Kidney failure, or having something else?" Good, stark choice presentation, the work of a pro. And although it weighed heavily in the back of our minds at the onset of the scare, since we eat lots of the bagged stuff, the spinach crisis--what with global warming, global jihad, etc. --slipped our minds.
Still, the choice was presented. We chose zucchini and yellow squash over spinach (actually, it was the only choice over spinach). The scaloppini was delicious, with an expertly slivered section of veal that was juicy, firm and enlivened with citrus acids. Spinach would have worked great here. So would arugula. Still there was one odd thing to the dish: it only had one caper berry. Was there a caper berry crisis too?
Urban Bistro
Red tuna $8.95
Gnocchi $7.95
Escargot, squid and octopus $7.95
Calf's liver $17.95
Veal scaloppini $19.95
Diver scallops $18.95
Big fish $45
Baba au rum $5.95
Urban Bistro rapidly took shape in the historic restaurant structure on Inwood Road near Lovers Lane, displacing George Brown's ambitious but somehow miscast "George," which displaced the Riviera, a once-great restaurant that simply unraveled under the strain of Dallas' culinary evolution. Avner Samuel and his one-time Aurora chef Roger Cobb aren't really evolving here, though. The bistro is stocked with Samuel staples that once made appearances at his restaurants Bistro A and Cafe Med, dishes such as "a bowl of my mother's salad" with diced tomato, bell pepper and cucumber in lemon juice and olive oil. What's new is old.
Which means Urban Bistro serves liver--calf's liver, to be more precise. Is it good? "You know, I don't like liver here, there or anywhere," our server retorts. The most refreshing thing about Urban Bistro is that the servers are as concerned as they are brutally honest, from the calf's liver to the guest's kidneys. She tells us that the recommended hue for the liver is medium rare. On the few occasions I've ordered liver in restaurants, I've never come across a recommended level of doneness. Is it ever ordered rare?
Yet this is delicious stuff. Cooked medium rare, it's propped on a bed of caramelized red onion rosemary marmalade in a pool of aged balsamic and juices. A sprig of rosemary emanates from a lobe. It's chewy and sinuous, as calf's liver tends to be. Onions leaven the sharp metallic flavor with a bit of sweetness. The outside is well-scorched.
Like they did with this organ, Samuel and company did well with George's harshly antiseptic minimalist design. The blinding light and frosted glass has been replaced by thick stripes of shimmering beige and gold on the walls. That thick downward emphasis is contrasted with a long, narrow horizontal mirror serving as an art piece on the longest wall in the restaurant. Acrylics with color impressions of vegetables floating like dirigibles dress the shorter walls--asparagus with red tips, olives and beets for instance. Paintings? Photographs? Our server didn't know. She went over and stroked the art pieces with her fingers. She returned with her assessment: "They must be etched and then covered because there's no texture to them," she says. She came back several minutes later and explained they're photographs burnished into the glass. This is a strain of minimalist modernity that adds warmth instead of the chill that had stricken George with rigor mortis.
Urban Bistro has wood floors, simple butcher-blockish wood chairs, and Formica tables and blue water glasses. There's a rich buffet chest breaking the vestibule from the dining room with a row of apple bowls lined up across it.
A complimentary plate of olives, tapanade and roasted bell pepper purée is dispensed at the table along with a focused selection of breads and crackers. Very bistro.
What isn't very bistro is the wine list. Only a handful of wines on this heavily California-centric list hail from Mediterranean countries. And precious few of those, especially among the red selections, crash below the $40 barrier, and most hover above $45 (reds primarily) and beyond. Plus, the weight of this list leans forcefully into Chardonnay and Cabernet, not necessarily the best wines to complement Samuel's Middle Eastern/Mediterranean portfolio.
The gnocchi, an elegant dish with elfin ear potato dumplings, soft creamy swellings of goat cheese, Niçoise olives and slow-toasted heirloom tomatoes in a buttery sauce, features light gnocchi that are nearly perfect in texture: firm and slightly gummy. Though Chardonnay could pair well here if it had a bristling acid layer lurking beneath the lumber and butter gobs, a Sauvignon Blanc or even a sturdy floral and honeyed Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley might work better. More Mediterranean too. Not sure what all of those Cabernets would match with save for the cumin-rubbed lamb chops and the "grilled dinner steak."
The Urban Bistro menu is studded with imaginative vignettes, such as a boat of escargot, squid and octopus in a pool of thin pea-soupy basil pesto. Snails are clean and earthy; calamari rings are tender and sweet; octopus is mostly tentacles, though they're scarce. Chickpeas and plum tomatoes frame these sea creatures. The pesto, unencumbered by the typical heavy Parmesan and olive oil, rises out of that green pool with vivacious breath, huffing a little flirtatiousness into that seafood.
Deep red tuna in fig glaze is tethered to an avocado tomato parfait. Oval tuna sheets are crusted with an aromatic Middle Eastern spice medley Urban calls za'atar. The effect is alluring, but somehow the tuna sheets didn't seem fresh and posessed slightly off flavors.
Big fish for two is a whole snapper with visible dental work; it's fried and soaks in a lemony broth with tomato chunks and herbs and slices of lemon wilted from heat. The 2-pound fish, its tail curving upward, relinquishes its meat easily from the array of bones, but despite the broth, the meat is dry and spongy. Plus, it's riddled with strong off flavors, perhaps from retiring tomatoes. Pan-seared diver scallops with roasted Israeli couscous and saffron broth is delicious, though, and the baba au rum with bay leaf roasted pineapple and rum-soaked sponge cake was far better than it sounds.
Urban Bistro is a spot where the calf's liver shines, and the spinach would but for the bad press.

Juicy J - Boss N*gga
Based on the themes of his recent work, it's easy to think of Juicy J as a carefree, fun-loving cat, who's happy as long as he's surrounded by kush smoke, money and bare t*tties. Which by and large is true. In the event that someone crosses the Three 6 co-founder, though, a very different side of his personality rears its head. On Boss N*gga, a loosie Tweeted out by the artist yesterday evening, Juicy reminds us that he won't hesitate to sic his goons on anyone foolish enough to disrespect him. Crazy Mike teams up with the artist to craft an appropriately ominous, street-ready backdrop for his cautionary bars. While this joint won't be appearing on the project, fans can, of course, watch our pages for the latest leading up to the July 2, arrival of Taylor Gang/Columbia solo debut Stay Trippy.

FRIDAY, Oct. 14 (HealthDay News) -- The number of pediatric emergency department visits for psychiatric care increased from 1999 to 2007, most prominently among those who were underinsured, according to a study presented at the annual conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics, held from Oct. 15 to 18 in Boston.
Zachary Pittsenbarger, M.D., and colleagues investigated the trends in pediatric emergency department visits for psychiatric care from 1999 through 2007. Data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey were analyzed for patient age, gender, race, ethnicity, insurance status, and type of care that the patients received.
The investigators found that, of the 279 million pediatric patients seen in U.S. emergency departments during the study period, 2.8 percent were for psychiatric care. The overall prevalence of psychiatric visits among children rose from 2.4 percent in 1999 to 3 percent in 2007. The underinsured population receiving pediatric care in the emergency department increased from 46 percent in 1999 to 54 percent in 2007.
"It has been found previously that the publicly insured have fewer treatment options and longer wait times for psychiatric disorders when not hospitalized," Pittsenbarger said in a statement. "This new finding argues that limited outpatient mental health resources force those patients to seek the care they need in the emergency department."

By the time the police arrived at the Old School, an ex-parochial-school-current-event-space in Nolita, something even more disconcerting had already happened: Whitman's, one of five food vendors with positions staked out in the school's courtyard, had run out of burgers.
And no wonder: for a moment, it seemed everyone in New York was either there or patiently waiting on line outside for the chance to get in and go exploring. The Jamborée, conceived as a monthly update of the old-world bazaar model and incorporating food, dancing, shopping, design, art, and experimental film, had plenty to see: breakdancing in one old classroom; a quarterpipe in another; a screening of Adam Green's film The Wrong Ferarri [sic!] in a third; laser projections and Aurel Schmidt-designed, cigarette-burned tank tops in still others. In other words: sensory overload. Among the many downtown types on hand to experience it, and to join The Cools' mastermind Olivier van Themsche in celebrating, were Genevieve Jones, Stephanie LaCava, Fiona Byrne, Erin Fetherston, Christian Cota, Jen Brill, Albert Hammond Jr., Arden Wohl, Lauren Remington Platt, and Dree Hemingway.
When the cops did arrive, revelers did the next best thing: relocated, of course, to Le Bain, where not even the 5-0 could keep them down.

JERUSALEM (Sep. 13)
Isaac Stern, world-famed violinist, has cancelled concert appearances in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Hungary in protest against the anti-Israel policies adopted by the governments of those countries.
Mr. Stern, who is now in Bucharest where he will perform later this week with the Bucharest Philharmonic Orchestra, telegraphically notified the governments of the three countries that as "a Jew and a Zionist," he could not visit those countries and give concerts there after they had ordered the Israeli envoys to leave.
Mr. Stern is the president of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation in New York and, with his wife, is active in many Israeli causes.


text: Show Hide image Politics 17 May 2012 Jack Straw gossips with Rebekah Brooks Former Justice Secretary's reveals friendly arrangements - but criticises journalists. Sign up for our weekly email * The former justice secretary Jack Straw admitted that he had a steady arrangement to meet Rebekah Brooks on the Oxfordshire to London train. He told the Leveson inquiry yesterday that after discovering they shared the same regular commute, he and Brooks would meet to talk and work together on the train. They would "gossip about personalities" and the papers, although confidential discussion was limited due to the prevalence of "earwiggers" in the surrounding seats. Straw was MP for Blackburn, but had a house in Minster Lovell, near Charlbury, West Oxfordshire. The arrangement ended in 2009 when Brooks was made chief executive of News International, but they remained friends and he was one of several high ranking politicians invited to her wedding in June 2009. Several of the recent witnesses at Leveson have objected to the idea that newspapers can make or break politicians' careers. Straw rejected this, saying: Few of us who took part, for example, in the 1992 general election, are in any doubt that the Sun's approach lost us seats. That was the purpose [of the hostile coverage] and it is disingenuous for anyone to deny it. In 1992, the Sun criticised Labour leader Neil Kinnock and personally attacked in its pages key members of the party, including Straw, who was accused of hypocrisy. The possibility of a deal between the Sun and the Labour party in 1997 has been much discussed – and rebutted – by witnesses so far at Leveson. The Sun changed its allegiance from the Tories to Labour in 1997 with the headline "the Sun backs Blair". Straw said that Murdoch Reckoned his political influence would be greater if, as it were, his support was available in return for what he thought he could get out of it. I don't mean a deal, because I have seen no evidence of a deal. But he thought there was something in it. Straw was critical of journalists at his Leveson appearance, saying: "As John Major famously said, 'the only people who've never made a mistake are the people who have never made a decision'. To which I would simply add: they are called journalists." He also accused journalists of contributing to low turnouts and general apathy by presenting politicians as self-serving individuals.

FORT HOOD — Maj. Nidal Hasan questioned jurors' opinions on the Taliban, Sharia and Islam in general Wednesday during the second day of jury selection for his capital murder trial.
The court dismissed four potential jurors based on their answers to questions from Hasan and prosecutors. Hasan did not challenge the inclusion of any of the nine officers questioned Wednesday and did not oppose exclusions proposed by the government.
The dismissals left 10 remaining jurors, three below the total required to seat a jury. The government will bring in six more potential panel members Monday and resume the selection process. Testimony remains set to begin Aug. 6.
Each potential juror may be questioned individually because Hasan may be executed if found guilty. He is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
Sending four prospective jurors home ended a day in which Hasan repeatedly said the judge's rulings and advice "frustrated" him. He again repeated his objection to the ruling that threw out his "defense of others" claim and was prohibited from telling jurors he carried out the shooting.
"I would like to state my frustration that I cannot state that I am the shooter on Nov. 5, 2009," Hasan said. "I do not deny that I am the shooter."
Presiding judge Col. Tara Osborn advised Hasan the statement would amount to testimony. Osborn told Hasan he could rephrase his questions in hypothetical terms.
She offered to allow Hasan a few minutes to prepare questions and gave him examples of how similar questions could be posed without stating he was the shooter. Hasan refused her advice.
Many questions
The prosecution objected to the first question posed by Hasan. He told a colonel he identified with a Muslim extremist, Abdulhakim Mujahid Mohammed, who shot and killed an Army private outside a Little Rock, Ark., recruitment center in 2009.
Hasan called Mohammed "my brother and my friend" and asked if that would cause any bias against him.
The colonel replied "no." She remains a part of the jury pool.
Hasan's questions centered on hard-line Muslim beliefs. Most of the jurors he questioned said they had a "somewhat negative" view toward Islam, Sharia and the Taliban.
The final juror questioned, a major, said she had an unfavorable view of Sharia, or Islamic law.
"It certainly seems like something I would not want to live under, that it would pretty much suck to be in that society, especially as a woman," she said.
Hasan asked the major what she did not like about Sharia.
She replied that she has been allowed to advance in her career with, in most cases, the same rights and opportunities as men. That would not be the case under Sharia, she said.
"I can walk anywhere; I'm not covered in a burqa," she said. "I'm just glad it is not where I am."
Neither the prosecution nor Hasan challenged her suitability to serve on the panel.
In what could be characterized as cordial exchanges between Hasan and potential jurors, one lieutenant colonel told Hasan he became somewhat disillusioned with Muslims he met in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s.
He told Hasan royals he met there showed double standards toward practicing the religion at home and in the U.S. After being prompted, he told Hasan he believed it was hypocrisy.
Hasan thanked him on behalf of all Muslims for expressing that viewpoint.
However, that officer was later dismissed after telling the court he believed Hasan was guilty and that he knew many details about the mass shooting through military police training in "active shooter" scenarios.
The court dismissed another lieutenant colonel who served on an assignment with the brother of shooting victim Logan Burnett. The officer told the court he spoke with Burnett's brother weekly and knew the former soldier suffered permanent damage from gunshot wounds.
"In terms of what happened that day, who the shooter was, I have an opinion on that, that Maj. Hasan pulled the trigger and killed 13 that day," the lieutenant colonel said.
Prospective jurors have known for 14 months they could be picked for trial. One of the dismissed panelists, a colonel, said the repeated delays had "hijacked" and held him "hostage." He said it adversely affected his career and created some bias against Hasan.
The final officer dismissed Wednesday, a major, knew the judge through the work of his sister, an Army lawyer who died in the fall. Lead prosecutor Col. Mike Mulligan also notified the major he had worked with his sister on another death penalty trial.

: Fragrance-Free product for Co Wash?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the website and forums. I have 2c hair, or at least I think it's 2c. I've been using Aveda Color Conserve shampoo and conditioner for such a long time now and my poor hair is just limp and awful.
I've decided that I want to really take care of my hair and I'd like to try co washing.
Trouble is, I'm extremely sensitive to any and all beauty/cosmetic products, especially those of the scented variety. I have to bend over so that my head is upside down in the shower to wash my hair because if the product touches my skin, I break out in a very itchy and ugly rash.
Does anyone know a natural or fragrance-free conditioner that is suitable for co washing and is readily available in stores in Canada. If I really must, I'll order online but I'd prefer to just go to a store (Walmart, Shoppers Drugmart, Lawton's, Dominion, Sobeys, Sally Beauty, Sears, Costco, anywhere in NL, Canada).
Price isn't a huge issue but who doesn't love to save money? If you know of a cheaper version I'd appreciate that as well.
Please help me out,

RIO RANCHO – The saga of the Santa Ana Star Center is the lead example in a new study that looks at how small cities are wooed into building high-dollar arena projects with promises of jobs and economic development – projects that have cost them dearly.
University of Florida professors Timothy Kellison and Brian Mills gave their presentation on the study at the Sports Marketing Association conference in Albuquerque last week.
"In retrospect, the subsidization of the Rio Rancho arena may not have been in the city's best interests," according to an abstract of the presentation.
Kellison and Mills are assistant professors in the Department of Tourism, Recreation and Sport Management at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Kellison said in an interview that they chose the Star Center because Rio Rancho is near the conference location.
They based their presentation on research from books, academic papers and articles, though not the Star Center general manager or the city staffer responsible for the facility.
The presentation was called "Generating Public Support for Multipurpose Facilities in Minor-League Markets: Revisiting the Rio Rancho Arena Development."
It outlines how Tempe-based Global Entertainment sold officials in Rio Rancho and nine other cities, including Youngstown, Ohio; Hidalgo, Texas; and Wenatchee, Wash., on publicly financing arenas with the lure of job creation and economic development.
They drew, in part, on Journal articles from 2004 to 2013 that revealed how the rosy predictions turned sour with a string of canceled concerts and anchor tenants like the New Mexico Scorpions hockey team pulling out.
Journal stories reported that city officials approved issuing $36 million in revenue bonds toward the $47 million cost of the 6,500-seat Star Center, with Sandoval County chipping in $8 million and the rest of the money coming from the city's general fund and interest on the bond money.
Global told city officials that the facility would be profitable enough to repay the bond debt. Instead, it has steadily lost money and become a multimillion-dollar burden for the city.
Despite firing Global Entertainment and replacing it in 2009 with Global Spectrum, a Comcast subsidiary, the city had to allocate $3.7 million, or 7 percent of its entire budget, in fiscal year 2012 to cover arena debt and operational costs.
Rio Rancho Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Matt Geisel said Kellison and Mills never contacted him or Star Center General Manager Gunnar Fox for input on the presentation.
"Since the transition from the previous management company (Global Entertainment), we have tried to be very transparent with the public about the Star Center's performance," Geisel said.
In budget discussions this year, Geisel characterized the Star Center as a "quality of life" amenity.
The University of New Mexico co-hosted the Sports Marketing Association conference that took place last Tuesday through Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. About 260 attendees from throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia were registered for the event.

After hearing rumblings about a Snoop Dogg and Diplo's reggae project, we're now privy to "La La La" – a Caribbean-inspired composition flying under the flag of "Snoop Lion." Recorded in Jamaica and produced by Diplo and Ariel Rechtshaid as part of an album tentatively entitled Reincarnation, the track shows Snoop's continued desire and ability to easily cross genres. If "La La La" is any indication of what's to come, we can expect a lively project from the Doggfather and Diplo.

New Zealand cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years on Thursday amid near-stagnant inflation and a slump in prices for its all-important dairy exports.
New Zealand confirmed Thursday it had failed to meet a pledge to deliver a budget surplus this year, although Finance Minister Bill English insisted the government's books were on the right track.
New Zealand's central bank left interest rates unchanged at 3.5 percent on Thursday and analysts said plans for further hikes appear to have been scrapped due to lower-than-expected inflation figures.
The New Zealand dollar sank Monday after the central bank disclosed it conducted its biggest sell-off of the currency in seven years to lower an exchange rate that is squeezing exporters.
Building work in quake-damaged Christchurch helped drive New Zealand's economy to its fastest rate of growth in more than six years, according to figures released Thursday.

However, much like split-key natural style keyboards, I can't quite get used to the OCZ Alchemy Elixir. The "squeezed" layout of the Elixir offsets the keys slightly, and since I go by touch this throws off my typing. Additionally the home keys are poorly marked, with only the smallest bump on the F and J to guide your index fingers. I found myself having to look down frequently to ensure I was pressing the correct key, or to find one I couldn't locate by feel alone. More than likely, if all I used was the Elixir for a period of time, I would become accustomed to the changes. However since I regularly use standard keyboards at work, I found it confusing switching back and forth between the two on a daily basis.
I had a few other minor complaints, the mis-placed R2 key in the L2 position, the size mismatch between the cord and grooves on the bottom, the not-as-long-as-expected cable and feet extenders and the missing USB port. While any of these grievances would be considered trivial by themselves, putting them all together tends to cast an unappealing light on the Alchemy Elixir. I also thought it was relatively plain looking for a gaming keyboard; OCZ definitely could have spruced up the style or added some lights to give it more bling.
What the Elixir does have going for it is price. At just $29.99 retail, it doesn't cost any more than most standard wired keyboards, and you get the added functionality of the special multimedia, browser and macro keys, plus software profiles and other custom programmable keys. And don't forget the extra keys thrown in for spares. Plus it does have a nice feel to it and is very comfortable, as long as you can get used to the slight differences.
OCIA.net has awarded the OCZ Alchemy Elixir our Seal of Approval.

Guida-Seibert Dairy, Co. Celebrates 125 Years of Business
Guida-Seibert Dairy, Co., Connecticut's oldest dairy, is celebrating their 125th year in business. As a thank you to their loyal customers, Guida's Milk is launching a "Guida's 125 Years of Golden Oldies but Goodies" contest.
Alexander Guida Jr. and son started the business in New Britain as a sub dealer. Alexander started delivering 13 quarts of milk out of the back seat of his car in 1929. He was joined a few years later by his brother, Frank Guida, and together they continued to grow the business. In 1947 they acquired J.E. Seibert and Son, which was established in 1886. At that time, they were incorporated as Guida-Seibert Dairy Co.

Searching for Sugar Man, 2012.
Directed by Malik Bendjelloul.
Starring Rodriguez, Steve Segerman and Dennis Coffey.
A documentary looking for the elusive and mysterious 70s singer/songwriter Rodriguez.
Rodriguez is an enigma. He was better than Bob Dylan, but didn't sell. His albums sit alongside Abby Road and Bridge Over Troubled Water in fans' record collections, but hardly anyone's ever heard of him. He blew his brains out onstage. He set himself on fire at a gig. He overdosed on drugs. He's the 'Sugar Man' the documentary seeks.
Tales of his death bump into and contradict each other throughout the film. The opening scene has Sugar, a South African record shop owner, regaling the self-immolation rumour of Rodriguez's death. Other reasons and situations are given for his passing, but there is one aspect on which the talking heads all agree – Rodriguez is dead.
But when did death ever stop a person becoming famous?
The details are fuzzy – a friend of a friend of a friend; some guy's girlfriend; a vinyl washing up at Cape Point – but somehow someone introduced Rodriguez to South Africa. And despite being a manual labourer from Detroit, he became as big as Elvis Presley amongst the white, liberal middle class of the Apartheid suffering country.
His songs were peppered with revolution, which got them promptly banned by the 70s censorship board. The music sounds like pretty inoffensive stuff unless you listen to the lyrics. Titles like This Is Not A Song, It's An Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues does little to endear itself to oppressive governments. It explains the protesting slant of Rodriguez's supposed causes of death
But the record still spread. While the South Africans could read about other American musicians, for Rodriguez they had nothing. He was an unknown in every other country. A pair of dark shades constantly masked his face in album artwork. He was a tabula rasa, a blank slate on which to project a revolutionary spirit.
The documentary enhances Rodriguez's mystique. Old photographs are of a man in shadow, or standing far away in the frame. Sketches are drawn from old record producers who worked with him, or Detroit bricklayers with whom he'd clocked in. The camera becomes an active eye, looking at cities from above, tracking along streets as though its involved in the search, too.
Unfortunately, the documentary takes its quest a little too 'Paxman'. The majority is naturalistic, allowing the talking heads to speak uninhibited and narrate the stock footage, without interrupting questions. Occasionally, however, the director, Malik Bendjelloul, inquires from behind the camera. His voice disrupts the flow, and it sounds too clear, as though added in post-production. But this is the film's only flaw.
Searching for Sugar Man has an enchanting idea at its core, that a work of art can find deep significance somewhere entirely different to its original conditions. There are echoes of the Robert Johnson myth, the blues guitar player who sold his soul to the Devil – a character borrowed by the Coens in O Brother, Where Art Thou? He, too, was a nobody during his time. It was only years later, after a recording had made its way around America, that his music found fame. But he was long dead, having been poisoned by a lover's jealous husband. Or drunk into the gutter. Or taken by the Devil to repay a debt.
Wouldn't it be nice, though, if the posthumous icons caught a break once in a while?
Searching For Sugar Man is out on DVD and Blu-Ray today.

In what was essentially a slam dunk maneuver, the CW network officially selected "The Flash" as one its new television series the network will be debuting this autumn. The series is an offshoot of the currently popular "Arrow" superhero-themed series [which was also renewed for a third season earlier this year] and stars Grant Gustin as assistant police forensics investigator Barry Allen who idolizes Arrow and becomes a pseudo-member of Team Arrow and superhero in his own right [due to his speedy superpower] as he assists in solving crimes.
Also joining Gustin on "The Flash" cast is Jesse Martin ["Smash"] as Detective West, Rick Cosnett ["Vampire Diaries"] as Eddie Thawne and Danielle Panabaker ["Shark"] as Caitlin Snow.

The Osprey Waypoint travel backpack almost carries like a backcountry backpack, with excellent features to make it comfortable to carry even when packed to the brim. Its ErgoPull hipbelt keeps the load comfortably on my hips so even when I've got my daypack attached. With a tough frame that keeps the backpack together, this backpack also functions like a suitcase and can be opened completely with just one zip, making it easy to pack and unpack on a daily basis. I chose this particular backpack mainly for the easy access, sturdy frame as well as its light weight (weighs 2.5kg when empty – a reason why I didn't pick the wheeled convertible pack).
This wheeled convertible pack truly reinvents backpacking, with its ability to transform from a fully-equipped backpack to a wheeled trolley. The Osprey Meridian features a large panel zip, a daypack, retractable ergonomic handle and polyurethane wheels with sealed bearings. The main pack volume is 55L while the daypack has a capacity of 20L. I chose this bag because I like both the convenience of a trolley and the versatility of a backpack and the Meridian combines the best of both worlds.

Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager and inevitably the question of who will replace the Italian will begin to crop up. There are various managers who would want the job, are qualified for the job or both. The favourite for the England managers job on a permanent basis will of course be Harry Redknapp who of course escaped court charges along with Milan Mandaric. I will be analysing 6 candidates for the job, their pros and cons, as well as ranking them in order of preference.
6) Roy Hodgson – The current manager of West Bromwich Albion was heavily linked to the job when he lead Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final, however since then Hodgson's stock has fallen; an unsuccessful spell at Liverpool has tarnished his reputation amongst the footballing world. Whilst he has experience managing around Europe, Hodgson's lack of big time success my taint his chances of becoming the England manager
5) Stuart Pearce – The current England Under 21's boss lead the youngsters to a final and a lot of the players that played in that tournament are now in the England set-up. Pearce knows the players, and can continue the current style of management. However having been put in charge of the Olympic team and with little management experience in the spotlight, Stuart Peace may have to wait a while if he ever is to become an England manager.
4) Alan Pardew – The Newcastle manager has been made one of the favourites for the England job after guiding Newcastle to their current 5th place in the Premier League and just outside of Europe. This recent spell of success has the media pointing out that Pardew could do the England job. However, surely we can't just appoint a manager for one good season? Pardew has failed at Charlton and Southampton, therefore has plenty of low points in his managerial career.
3) Guus Hiddink – The Former South Korea, Australia, Russia, Turkey and Chelsea manager has reached a World Cup Semi-final and won the FA Cup as a manager. He has bags of international management experience and is currently unemployed. The biggest issue with Hiddink is that he is not English. The fans and FA will most likely look towards and English manager to follow Fabio.
2) Jose Mourinho – Surely the hottest ticket in town; management wise. He has won the Premier League, Champions League twice, Carling Cup, Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Copa Del Rey. He could be the first manager to win Spain, England and Italy's top flight, with rumours of a Madrid exit on the cards. The biggest worry would be his lack of international experience.
1) Harry Redknapp – There is good reason why Harry Redknapp is the favourite for the England managers job. He has turned Tottenham into an attractive team, he is good with the players, he has been cleared of criminal charges and he is English. This season he has guided Tottenham into 3rd place whilst he also lead them to the Champions League quarter final. However, he has never managed an international team.

I heard that it was but I am not sure I believe it. I am asking because I was told that I could donate my Body fat to breast cancer survivors.
Possible to Donate Skin and Fat to Breast Cancer Patients?
Doctor Answers 4
Fat and skin not possible to donate without genetic match
Most breast reconstructions techniques that are used nowadays relie on the patient's own abominal, back, thigh or buttock tissue to complete the procedure. Thiese tissue can be used as flaps for breast reconstruction surgery. Unfortunately fat and skin from other donor who are not genetically identical, will be rejected by the recipient.
Skin Donations
Modern breast reconstructions methods do not utilize skin or fat grafts from others for multiple reasons; they produce poor results (even from a suitable matched donor) and are rejected by people with normal immune systems. Most breast reconstructions are done using the patients' own tissues or with a combination of the patient's tissues and either tissue expanders, implants and Alloderm.
Fat donation to breast reconstruction patients
What a generous thought, but unfortunately the recipient would reject that tissue unless she were genetically identical to the donor. Fortunately, there are much easier ways to help cancer patients! Best wishes, /nsn.

Donating fat or skin to breast cancer patients
Unless the person effected is an identical twin, it is not practical and highly unlikely that donated fat or skin will be of any benefit to a breast cancer patient.

moreThis essential handbook provides a complete and practical overview of art therapy: how it works, how it can be used, and with whom. Demonstrated are interventions for children, adolescents, and adults facing a variety of clinical problems and life challenges. Case-based chapters from leading practitioners illuminate major theoretical perspectives, including psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, developmental, and other approaches. Also examined is what current research in psychology and neuroscience can tell us about the scientific basis for art therapy. Discussing applications in individual psychotherapy, couple and family treatment, and group work, the Handbook includes over 100 samples of drawings and other artwork. The process of art therapy is illustrated in helping clients manage and cope with such problems as trauma, sexual abuse, developmental and learning disabilities, drug and alcohol misuse, serious mental illness, and medical illness. Appendices include descriptions of empirically supported approaches to art-based assessment, some of which are written by the instrument developers themselves. less

BAGHDAD, July 24 (Reuters) - China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) has won a $547.95 million service contract to develop Iraq's Halfaya oilfield, Iraq's cabinet said on Wednesday.
CPECC, which is affiliated to China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), will handle engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning work at the oilfield, which is forecast to produce 535,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd) in 2017, Iraq's oil ministry has said.
Iraq signed a contract in 2010 to develop Halfaya with CNPC, France's Total, and Malaysian state company Petronas for a fee of $1.40 per barrel. CNPC has a 37.5 percent interest in the consortium.
State-owned China National Petroleum Corp said last year the first phase of the Halfaya field had started operating and had a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day.
Export bottlenecks and long-neglected energy infrastructure are the main hurdles to the OPEC member country keeping exports steady, forcing it to review its final production target of 12 million bpd.

"Tonight, Governor Walker laid out a bold plan to continue moving Wisconsin forward. Taxpayers in this state deserve to have their hard-earned money returned to them as soon as possible.

Video game designers find Serious Games a more stable model
Via: New Mexico Business Weekly
GPS creates games and simulated training environments for the Army that allow soldiers to be trained for dangerous and complicated field maneuvers in a safe, virtual environment.
The company's Joint Fires and Effects Training System (JFETS) training environment product, used at the Army's base in Ft. Sill, Okla., is so popular that it is being reworked to go into a third generation.
The company's Joint Fires and Effects Training System (JFETS) training environment product, used at the Army's base in Ft. Sill, Okla., is so popular that it is being reworked to go into a third generation.
The Andersons were contracted to create the games by the Institute for Creative Technologies, a collaboration between the University of Southern California and the Army. ICT develops innovative training ideas, but does not create actual products. In the case of JFETS and another Army training product, that's what GPS has done.
That $1.3-million contract and others that have come behind it, including a large project for aerospace giant Boeing, have contributed to a growth spurt the Andersons hadn't planned on when they started GPS in 2003.
Since early 2006, the firm has expanded from Glyn's one-man operation focused on helping game-development companies find the animators, set designers and programmers they needed, into a 10-employee outfit with its own fleet of animators. The animators staff the GPS subsidiary Abalone Studios, the production arm of GPS that opened in 2006, and are housed in the Comanche Business Park in Albuquerque.
GPS has annual revenues of $5 million and a 10 to 15 percent profit margin, according to Janeen, who manages the business. It plans to hire four more staff members in 2007.
But the Andersons' success with GPS and Abalone didn't come overnight, or without some struggle. In fact, in 1997, the couple had to shut down a previous incarnation of Abalone. They focused mostly on commercial games intended for entertainment purposes, a market that Glyn describes as "hit-based". It's a business of big wins and bigger risks.
In 2003, Glyn decided to launch his own business again -- but had no intention of getting back into game production. He planned to work as a sort of agent, connecting video game companies to contractors in the U.S. and abroad who could provide the services needed to make a game.
But the lure of production was hard to resist, especially after a colleague of Glyn's who had a relationship with the Institute for Creative Technologies asked Glyn to work as a producer on Full Spectrum Command, an Army training game for commanders.
By the time the game was moving into a second version, Glyn's friend had handed the project over entirely, and GPS was asked to develop future versions of the game.
"Serious games work considerably differently from entertainment," he says. "It's not a hit-driven business. You have a client that asks you for a specific thing, and the money is pretty much guaranteed. Particularly with the government -- you know they're good for it -- and the projects tend to be multi-year. Compared to commercial games, you have a much more stable model."
"Serious games is an expanding market," he adds. "There are military applications, medical applications, and I think, in general, the technology is getting to the point where it's getting more and more realistic and more applicable, therefore, to serious games."
