One of the brutal ironies of the 18th century French Reign of Terror is that the designer of the specific device first installed in Place de Grève that became known as the guillotine, Dr. Antoine Louis, eventually lost his head to it. What he had designed to punish enemies eventually punished him.
This is the way of powerful weapons, including political weapons.
My favorite example is the 22nd Amendment, limiting presidents to a lifetime total of two terms. It was written in reaction to Franklin D. Roosevelt's extended tenure in the Oval Office. The charge was led principally by Republicans, and the intent was to ensure that no future Democratic president would serve so long, no matter what the voters might want.
The hammer, of course, has worked. No Democratic president has served more than two terms since Roosevelt. But when the Republican Party had Ronald Reagan, who unseated a sitting Democratic president in 1980 and shellacked Walter Mondale in 1984, they discovered that the hammer was as effective against them as it had been for them.
There was brief discussion of trying to float an amendment to repeal or modify the limitation. But the obvious partisan motivation of the proposal at the time, with barely a fig leaf of good policy cover (unlike the 22nd Amendment, which rested on George Washington's decision and rationale), quickly ended conversation.
That's the problem with a really heavy political hammer. It is great at driving nails into the coffin of others' ambitions. But if others get the hammer . . .
Both parties pay lip service to the idea that a season of truly competitive primaries and caucuses is healthy for the party and for the candidate. They talk about debating priorities before the court of public opinion and strengthening the eventual nominee through a series of sparring matches with rivals from the same gym before the main event in November.
But strategists (and erstwhile candidates) in both parties also dread the process.
Prolonged nomination fights are expensive, for one. For another, the longer the season, the more it seems the rivals fight aggressively for the support of the ideological and cultural extremes of their respective parties, providing ample fodder for general election ads to be run by the other party or its supportive SuperPACs. Simultaneously, the campaigns themselves and their patrons in the SuperPAC world launch volleys of increasingly brutal attack pieces that may convince the public that the eventual nominee is corrupt, or incompetent, or deeply misguided, long before the other party begins to make that case.
So while the rhetoric of open debate floats down like snowflakes on a caucus in Iowa, the machinations behind the nomination process are designed to bar the gate against insurgents before the crocuses bloom in Des Moines.
The supporters of this particular political stockade imagined that big state winner-take-all primaries, scheduled early enough, would bar the gates against challengers to Republican orthodoxy. The belief was that only a relatively mainstream Republican leader (a Romney, a McCain or a Bush, for example) would be able to secure a plurality of the votes in these populous states. With a winner-take-all distribution of delegates, even a bare plurality for the frontrunner would translate into an almost insurmountable delegate lead. Only a fanatical challenger (or a self-financing one) would be able to stay in the race for long after that. Such challengers wouldn't generate as much mainstream press, wouldn't have the resources to generate much in the way of political advertising, and no longer would attract significant independent expenditures. The soon-to-be nominee would have months to raise money for the general election and heal from the battle before the war.
No one . . . okay, at least no one that I know or have read . . . imagined that these winner-take-all primaries would bar the gates against the mainstream candidate and ensure, at best, a brokered convention, and at worst (from this perspective) the nomination of someone like Donald Trump.
But we should have.
If we create a large hammer, we must assume that others will one day use it. If we build a high stockade, we must assume that, one day, its gates will be barred against us.
More generally, any special advantage we might try to build into any system of decision making can (and probably will) be used against us someday. Advantage, as a device or a design, ultimately will serve whoever finds a way to master it.

In the distance, shrouded with mist a shape
Gradually becomes clearer, sharper,
Until at last in full colour it is made know
The familiar figure of an old friend.
A memory brought back as soon
As eyes have seen,
Inspired by what you see, your memories
Collections of people and things.
A bank of experiences both good and bad
Stored for better or worse,
Some wanting to be forgotten yet some cherished daily
Memories filled with emotion.
Many girls dream about their Prom, and the perfect...
My poem was inspired by my love and passion for stories...
Just to show how devoted I am to my loyal fans. In...
My entry for the Valentine's Day competition. My sonnet...
Everyone's got a story to tell...but not everyone's...

SINGAPORE, April 27 (Reuters) - U.S. activist hedge fund Elliott Management said on Thursday it expected Samsung Electronics Co Ltd to take further steps to improve shareholder value after the South Korean tech giant rejected its demand to adopt a holding company structure.
"We are encouraged that Samsung Electronics has agreed to take the bold step of optimising its balance sheet through a cancellation of its legacy holding of treasury shares," the U.S. fund said in a statement.
"We think there is room for even more progress due to the company's announced commitment to enhance its board."
Samsung rejected a call from Elliott to split itself in two but accepted part of the fund's proposals on Thursday, revealing plans to cancel its existing treasury shares worth over $35 billion to enhance shareholder value by 2018.

text: I've been using Jorte, and like it, but I seem to have some across a deal-breaker. When entering an appointment from the phone, if you just click on "new event", key in the event, and press "done" it puts the event into "My calendar" by default. "My calendar" seems to be something stored only on the phone. It doesn't sync with Google. To get the event into your Google calendar you have to press "show details" and select the relevant calendar from the drop down list under "Calendar." The problem is (a) it's very easy to forget to do this when quickly entering an appointment, meaning that your new event will be in the wrong calandar and will not sync; (b) there is no way of going back into the event and telling which calendar it has been assigned to; and (c) even if you realise that you've put the event in the wrong calendar there is no way of going back in and changing it to a different one. You just have to delete it (together with any details or repeat information) and start again from scratch. This is driving me a bit mad, because I keep finding the odd event which is not coming up on my Google calendar online for this reason, and I can't afford for this to happen, so I will need to drop Jorte unless I can find a solution. Is my analysis above correct, or am I missing something? To solve this there needs to be a way of setting the calendar which new events get dumped to by default, and also a way of easily changing events from one calendar to another without deleting them.

THERE are two kinds of people in the world - procrastinators, and another group I don't know about because I got distracted by a great clip my friend just posted on Facebook.
Procrastination is not laziness. Well not entirely. Essentially, you're tricking yourself into thinking it's ok not to do something. It's getting distracted, but it's also letting yourself get distracted.
A pretty good GIF about procrastination.
Sydney based psychologist and founder of Love Life Therapy, Susie Thompson says there are many mental triggers for procrastination.
"For instance feeling overwhelmed, not enjoying the task ahead, stress, lack of skill, or laziness. Mental state plus environmental blocks – for example, bad weather - can cause procrastination."
Your brain can just about turn itself inside out when it comes to procrastination, particularly when it comes to justification.
Twitter user Matthew Hammond once read a book on how to avoid procrastination. The day before an exam.
Alexandra Scott, 24, excuses her Pinterest exploring, calling it research.
"I'm a sustainability officer and follow lots of boards about inspiring green street art and behaviour change tactics and programs. Amongst many boards of gorgeous photos, tattoo ideas, and recipes..."
A really dumb but adorable dog that won't drop his stick
Ranging from InstantBoss, which will count down a ten minute block in which you have to do nothing but work, and then will let you have a two minute break and relies on you sticking to the time – to the more creative Write or Die – which punishes you with awful sounds or music if you stray from your task.
Freedom, SelfControl (free) and StopDistractions are among the many programs that will shut off some or all of the internet for a period of time.
Er, organisology
Eighty-three per cent of people surveyed recently by Microsoft say they could save at least an hour every day if they were better organised.
Organising your work/life tasks is a recommended step one. And bonus – making to-do lists or reformatting the mess of files on your computer is a great way to avoid your actual work!
Slow loris eating a rice ball
At it's most basic (and cheapest), Google Drive will help streamline and centralise your work. Microsoft's new Office 365 subscription service (in short – rent a continually updating Office suite instead of buying one version) comes with 20GB of storage on SkyDrive.
Ms Thompson suggests creating a calm, fully prepared workspace, making tasks fun (perhaps by listening to music while you work) and breaking goals down into achievable targets.
"For example 'in the next hour I will have completed the first paragraph, by noon today the first draft will be ready and by 5pm today the final draft will be sent off'," she said.
If procrastination is more than just some harmless time-wasting and is actually worrying you, a great (but long) read, is this series of fact sheets from the Centre for Clinical Interventions. Essentially, it's about retraining your mind.
How big a procrastinator are you?
In the process of reading this article about procrastination during a time you were probably meant to be working, how many of those unrelated links did you click on?
If your answer is: "I clicked on all the links to procrastinate reading an article about procrastination while I procrastinated from my work", then congratulations, you have achieved Inception-level procrastination.

Editorial: Why Guillermo del Toro's Films Are Never What They Seem
by Dan Marcus
October 16, 2015
After years of off-screen hell, the newest movie directed by Guillermo del Toro, titled Crimson Peak, comes out nationwide today to unleash a kind of cinematic hell upon viewers everywhere. However, much like every one of del Toro's films, even though Crimson Peak is being sold as a horror movie (it's not) it's actually far more tragic than terrifying. As del Toro has tried to bring to people's attention on Twitter and other forms of social media, Crimson Peak is much more of a gothic romance than a straight-up horror film. Unfortunately, most people will go into the film this weekend expecting to be scared out of their minds and instead they will find something much more tragic and somber. With that let's take a look at why Guillermo del Toro's movies are never what they seem – and why Crimson Peak is no different.
When you think of Guillermo del Toro as a filmmaker, you probably think of a few things. You might think of fantasy, gorgeous visuals or fantastical storytelling. Whether it's The Devil's Backbone or Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro is a master at creating a movie that can both terrify you and astound you with its beauty. Crimson Peak falls into that category, even though it is more of a gothic fairytale romance than the horror film it is being advertised as. However, Crimson Peak isn't the first time a del Toro movie has been (in a way) falsely advertised.
For many people, Pan's Labyrinth was disappointing – not because it wasn't a great film, but because it wasn't the film a lot of people were expecting. The advertisements (and people's expectations) built up the film as a fantasy picture along the lines of Lord of the Rings or perhaps to a lesser extent del Toro's Hellboy movies, even though in the actual film the fantasy elements are few and far between. Pan's Labyrinth is actually a searing look at a young girl growing up during the hardships of the Spanish Civil War. The fantasy sequences are exactly that – fantasies concocted by the little girl as a coping mechanism. It's a rather poignant and beautiful film, so much that it was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, eventually winning three Oscars for Best Cinematography, Art Direction and Make-Up.
While some might have expected more fantasy out of Pan's Labyrinth, I always thought the movie struck a great balance between the fantasy and the harsh realities of the film's central storyline. Del Toro's greatest strength as a storyteller is finding the right balance in his movies – something that a lot of other filmmakers fail to understand or even grasp. Another great example of this balance is del Toro's The Devil's Backbone, which juggles a terrifying premise featuring ghostly apparitions – like Pan's, also set during the Spanish Civil War – and an innocent coming-of-age story. What makes del Toro such a gifted filmmaker is how he takes the genres he explores and utilizes them skillfully and artfully.
There's a great moment in Pan's Labyrinth that reflects this skill impeccably. It involves the villainous Captain Vidal (played by Sergi Lopez) smashing someone's face and it's so shocking because the film's tone – with its whimsical fantasy-esque moments – gets punctuated by searing and brutal violence. The moment is partly so shocking because there aren't many, if any, comparable moments of violence in the film before or after, so it stays with you far after the scene has ended. It's a hallmark of del Toro's craftsmanship as a filmmaker – and it's something he brings to every one of his movies, including Crimson Peak.
There might be some that go into Crimson Peak this weekend and walk out of the theater disappointed, but hopefully audiences at least take note of the film's dark and gothic beauty. There's a certain irony to the film's tonal balance – while the film isn't an outright horror film, in many ways it's the best horror film in many years. It's a great leap forward for a genre that seems filled with found footage films and teen slasher movies and sequels galore. Del Toro brings back a sense of old school chills with Crimson Peak and it's absolutely refreshing.
In a lot of horror movies, you go in expecting to be scared. While it is understandable why Crimson Peak was marketed as a horror film, I wish it wasn't. People will go in expecting to be scared and while the film is terrifying at times, it's more profoundly tragic with a gothic love story that harkens back to old age storytelling and filmmaking that we simply haven't seen that much of in decades. I argue it would be more rewarding if it wasn't marketed as a horror film, releasing the film of the the weight of those scary expectations, but studios have to sell del Toro's movies somehow.
Which is the real rub and probably the big reason why del Toro's movies aren't instantly sellable. Pacific Rim is a movie that some love and some hate and I understand why people feel both ways. I personally loved Pacific Rim, a film that unabashedly knew what it was, embraced it and was full of heart and energy. It had more emotion and characterization than any of the last Transformers movies combined. However, audiences probably had no idea what to expect from Pacific Rim besides a stupid Transformers rip-off as the previews advertised. I've spoken to many people that actively avoided the film because it looked like a poor man's Transformers. The tone it has is not for everyone – it's not afraid to be silly, but it's also not afraid to be heartfelt – and complaints I've heard mostly deal with the mix mash of tone.
So, in a traditional sense, Guillermo del Toro's movies will never be sellable because they defy convention and expectation. Crimson Peak is a hard movie to sell and anyone that's seen it will attest to that. It's a movie that is both stunning and frightening - featuring del Toro's trademark punctuations of brutal violence - but I guarantee you after the movie is over you'll be thinking of the characters and the story way more than you will the times you jumped from being scared. That is also the beauty of del Toro's movies, which are never simple or what they seem at first glance. Guillermo del Toro is one of the most gifted filmmakers working today and that is primarily because his movies are so dense and multi-layered.
What makes del Toro so unsellable – when say someone like Christopher Nolan makes billions with his movies – is because del Toro prefers the fantastical, while someone like Nolan prefers taking the fantastical and making it practical (and while someone like Michael Bay prefers the… well, complete lack thereof). The fantastical will always be the harder sell and why a movie like At the Mountains of Madness will dwell in development hell for years, while something immediately recognizable and sellable such as Transformers 5 will get greenlit overnight.
With that said, just make sure to go into Crimson Peak this weekend with an open mind. Don't expect to be scared at every whim and maybe you might be able to gleam all the film has to offer because trust me – the film has to offer a great many things, aside from looking stunning. While the film won't be the straight-forward horror some of you might be expecting, trust me when I say the film is all the better for it. It's not just a horror film and it's not just a gothic romance. It's a Guillermo del Toro movie. What do you think?

NetSpend Brings Consumers to D.C. to Promote Prepaid Overdraft
As the CFPB prepares to issues its final prepaid rule, 2016 Pay Awards Consumer Champion NetSpend was making its own D.C. push. The prepaid financial services provider recently brought cardholders from five states—California, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas—to meet with three Congressmen and Congressional staff members about their prepaid concerns, a NetSpend spokesperson says.
"Our goal was to make sure that cardholders are being heard on a rule that will affect their financial choices," the spokesperson says, not identifying the representatives.
The cardholders talked about their need for optional overdraft on prepaid. "One of our cardholders explained how overdraft protection helped her take an Uber to get to work when her transmission was out and fill her son's lunch account at school," the spokesperson says. "We firmly believe that a change in the CFPB prepaid rule to allow prepaid companies to offer an optional overdraft on amounts under $150 is essential to meet the needs of cardholders. We are working with various members of Congress to impress upon the CFPB the need for a workable compromise in the prepaid rule that allows prepaid cardholders access to the short-term liquidity they need."
The CFPB's proposed rulemaking on prepaid accounts doesn't explicitly ban overdraft. However, many experts believe the rule's provision that any credit feature, including overdraft, associated with a prepaid card would trigger CARD Act and Regulation Z credit protections, which would make it too onerous to justify offering such a feature.
Despite assurances from CFPB Director Richard Cordray during Congressional testimony that the final prepaid rule is due out this spring, at the recent All Payments Expo in New Orleans, prepaid industry experts were anticipating a release in late spring or even into June.

A large amount of people now want to wear a fitness tracker to keep an eye on their steps and exercise regime, but not everyone wants a plastic, eye-catching device like the Fitbit Charge 2 or Under Armor Band sat on their wrist.
Fitness trackers aren't inherently attractive looking wrist wear, with many looking strange on the end of your arm – but what if all those tracking features were built into a watch?
The Withings Steel HR is trying to push the boundary of what we've seen inside a hybrid watch, combining a classic design with fitness tracking features.
But is there enough packed into the Withings Steel HR, or would you need to combine this with another product to keep track of your health? Read on below to find out.
Withings Steel HR price and release date
- Out now in the US and UK - no word on Australia
- Cheapest model is $179.95/£169.95 (about AU$300)
The Withings Steel HR is out now in the US and UK, while there's no word on whether it will be coming to Australia. There are two versions of the wearable that you can choose from though.
The 36mm Steel HR costs $179.95/£169.95 (about AU$300), while the 40mm model is a little more at $199.95/£179.95 (about AU$315). That's quite a bit more expensive than a lot of other Withings products, so price-wise you can consider this a fairly high-end device.
- Classic watch-like design means no-one will know this is a fitness tracker
- One button to interact with the tracker, disguised as a crown
- May be a little too small for some traditional watch lovers
The Steel HR is the most watch-like fitness tracker we've seen. It looks much like a classic watch you'd wear on your wrist and is actually a bit slimmer than models from most of the big name watch brands.
It looks attractive and has a premium design that devices like the Withings Activité Pop and Withings Go have been missing.
We used the 40mm Steel HR, but you can also get a 36mm version of the watch if you have slimmer wrists. The 40mm version is still rather small though and we've heard some complaints that it's actually a little too small on the wrist.
For us though, this is the perfect size. It's slightly thicker than other Withings devices, which was presumably necessary to put a heart rate tracker inside the thing, but it's still not much thicker than your average watch.
Compared to smartwatches available on the market, the smaller size and slimmer design makes this much more comfortable to wear.
The strap choices for the Steel HR are durable and feel comfortable on your wrist. We used a silicon one, which won't get dirty when you're out and about and is easy enough to clean off when you've got it all sweaty during a workout.
Some devices have had complaints about their silicon straps - such as some of the early Fitbit products - but this strap shouldn't cause you any skin irritation.
We had a black version of the strap, but you can also pick up white, yellow, blue and red versions. You can also buy those directly from Withings, if you want extra options.
The silicon options start at $30 (£25, about AU$40) while the leather versions, which come in either brown or black, are far more expensive at $80 (£70, around AU$110).
The leather options look far more formal and may suit a business environment more, but that's quite a lot of money to spend on a replacement strap.
On the right hand side of the watch display you'll find the only button. It looks like a crown, but won't spin and just works as a button to cycle through the menus on your wearable to see each of your stats.
When first using this device we did find it quite strange to not be able to turn this button, but once you get used to tapping it you'll find it a simple way to see your results throughout the day.
Pressing it once will wake the small screen at the top of the watch face to show the time and with each subsequent press it will show heart rate, steps, distance, alarms and battery life, in that order.
This can get irritating when you want to just see the battery life, as you need to press the button at least six times, but it doesn't take too long to cycle through.
Just above the six o'clock on the watch face sits the percentage calculator. This will go up the more steps you take in a day. If you set your target to 12,000 steps, it will show 50% done when you've reached 6,000.
This is a simple to use interface and you can switch your target within the app with ease, so you're not restricted to just one goal.
Despite having both a digital screen and a percentage monitor, the time is easy to read on the Withings Steel HR. There's no second hand here, but you have a minute and hour hand to keep track of the time and that's one of the most important things for most people buying a hybrid smartwatch.

The California Golden Bears are 15-9 this season and they have won their last four games. Cal is averaging 66.6 points and they are shooting 43.9 percent while defensively they are allowing 65.5 points and their opponents are shooting 41.6 percent. Tyrone Wallace is averaging 17.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. Jordan Mathews is averaging 14.8 points, David Kravish is averaging 10.7 points and 6.8 rebounds, and Jabari Bird is averaging 9.4 points. Cal is 4-2 ion the road and 5-6 in the Pac-12.
Colorado is 5-1-1 against the spread following a loss by 20 or more points and 1-4 against the spread against a team with a winning record.

The underdog has covered the point spread in five of the last seven meetings of these two.
With the total at 128 I like the over in this one and that is my free pick. My stronger play is on who will cover the spread and I will post that in the Premium Area as well as on the App.

Disabled residential units fail to meet Hiqa standard
Thirteen out of 20 inspections of residential services for people with disabilities were found to have major non-compliances.
The inspections were carried out by the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa).
Three of the four reports on services run by the HSE found non-compliances in risk management, the safety of residents and the governance of the services.
Three out of four inspections of services run by Daughters of Charity found the provider was failing to manage risk for residents. In one case, the watchdog also found issues with the way medication was being managed.
Meanwhile, Hiqa inspectors found that two out of three centres run by St John of God Services found the provider had not taken action to improve the privacy and dignity of residents in their care.

One out of three centres run by L'Arche Ireland was found to have failings in relation to residents' rights and the submission of notifications to Hiqa.
Inspections of two centres run by Kerry Parents and Friends Association found four major non-compliances in relation to fire detection and prevention, as well as the safeguarding of vulnerable residents.
A report into a centre run by the Cork Association for Autism found major non-compliances in terms of mobility issues for its residents. Issues of poor risk management were found in one centre run by St Michael's House.
None of the centres will be closed as a result of the inspections.

Lahore, Mar 6 : Taking a strong exception at the recent spurt in violence in Pakistan, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has questioned the present day government's intentions about curbing terrorism in the country.
It said that on the eve of the general election (on February 18), the official spokespersons announced violence-free polling as, according to them, all terrorists had all been rounded up, it questioned if the respite was limited to the election day only.
It also asked what the authorities' version of the cause of the latest spurt in murderous attacks was. "Are the militants trying to extend the life of the regime voted out on February 18, or do they want to damn the new government before it takes charge?" the Daily Times quoted the HRCP statement as saying.
It called upon the regime to demonstrate some capacity to protect people's lives in terrorist attacks instead of merely announcing an alert or red alert after each explosion.
"As usual, the authorities announced a red alert across the country. Such gestures are becoming increasingly meaningless as the terrorists are evidently enjoying freedom of the land," it stated.
The strong worded statement said that the people had a right to know what had been done to trace terrorist-training camps, the routes used for the supply of explosives, and the sources of funds used in terrorist operations.

A MENTAL health project has been shortlisted for a national patient safety award.
A pioneering project integrating mental health care and policing on the Isle of Wight has recieved national recognition.
The Serenity Integrated Mentoring (SIM) project run by Hampshire Constabulary and the Isle of Wight NHS Trust, and supported by Wessex Academic Health Science Network (AHSN), is nominated for a Patient Safety award.
SIM - which previously won a Royally-endorsed national health award - and is one of this year's NHS England National Innovation Accelerator Fellows – is shortlisted in the Managing Long-Term Conditions category.
SIM is recognised as being effective at bringing together policing and healthcare skills to achieve a positive difference to the lives of mental health patients and their families.
Hampshire Constabulary's SIM project lead, Sergeant Paul Jennings said:
"The positive difference this project is making to people's lives continues to be commended by leading respected organisations nationally.
"This nomination in particular recognises the long-term effects that Serenity Integrated Mentoring (SIM) can have on improving the well-being and circumstances of a service user and their family.
"Understanding and managing unique and complex behaviour in a service user requires a different approach to care and co-operation, which the SIM project is providing by combining the skills of mental health professionals and police officers to influence changes that can transform someone's life and prospects for the better."
The SIM project team will now prepare and deliver a presentation to the awards panel in Mid-May.
The awards ceremony itself takes place on Tuesday 4 July, as part of the national Patient Safety Congress event in Manchester.

The two-time Kentucky Derby winner was found dead Dec. 2 with severe head trauma, triggering a homicide investigation that so far police have said little about.
An autopsy on the 34-year-old jockey was inconclusive. Further tests are expected to be available in January. The head trauma has yet to be explained by police or the coroner.
The 5-foot-4-inch Antley had a cut to the left side of his forehead, abrasions to his right elbow, and bruises on his left forearm, according to the reports.
Police found .55 grams of a white substance they believed to be crystal methamphetamine, a small black plastic bag containing the same substance, and .01 grams of an off-white substance that resembled methamphetamine in the dining room of his upscale home.
Antley had problems with drugs and alcohol, which had led to two arrests in the five months before his death.
Detectives investigating the scene also found drops of blood near a door on the northwest side of the house.
Kathy Park, a friend who sold Antley his million-dollar home, last saw the jockey alive the afternoon of Dec. 2 when she and her daughter brought him lunch.
When they arrived, Park later told police, they found Timothy Wyman Tyler Jr. in the driveway using a crowbar to pry open a toolbox in the bed of his truck.
Tyler, a 24-year-old from Pasadena, was arrested Dec. 2 on three drug warrants. Police describe him as an associate of Antley's, but have not named him as a suspect in the homicide.
Park told police she believed "Tim is possibly supplying (Antley) with methamphetamine and other illegal drugs," the report said.
Park said she was upset to find Tyler at the house because she didn't trust him, and advised him to leave because Antley didn't want him there, the report said.
Park then knocked on Antley's door, and when he didn't answer, she tried to open it, but saw that it was locked, she said. Park went to Antley's bedroom window, knocked and called out for him. He came to the window, but refused to open the front door, and told Park he wanted to be alone, the report said.
Park told Antley she would be back later with his brother. While her daughter put the food down, Park checked the house for any unlocked doors, found none and left as Tyler stood in the driveway.
Park told police she felt uneasy leaving Antley with Tyler "who has taken money and other items from Antley in the past," the report said.
Bryan Antley, the jockey's brother, told police that Tyler was "bad news" and had caused Antley "a lot of problems," the report said.
Tyler and Antley met five or six years ago while undergoing drug rehabilitation, Bryan said. Tyler lived with Antley for about two weeks a couple of months ago, he aded. Bryan complained to Antley that he didn't trust Tyler. Bryan had met Tyler one time and told him not to come on Antley's property, according to the report.
About 11 p.m., Park and her daughter returned with Bryan, who had flown in from South Carolina.
Park received no response when she knocked on the door and called out Antley's name. She used her house keys to unlock the door, and the trio found Antley lying on his stomach in the hallway.
Park called 911. The sheets were pulled off Antley's bed and the bedroom door was off its hinges and propped against the wall, she told investigators.
On the 911 tape released by police Thursday, a dispatcher asked Park what was wrong. She said, "I don't know if he's dead or alive. He's laying in the hallway with blood."
Park told the dispatcher the blood appeared to be coming from Antley's head. She added there was "blood all over the bedroom."
Asked if Antley had ever attempted suicide, Park said, "Um, no, but he was on a 72-hour hold a month ago and you guys let him out."
The dispatcher asked if Antley had threatened suicide, and Park said, "No, he's just had mental problems."
Bryan Antley told police he last spoke with his brother two months ago and he noticed a change and wanted to take Antley back to South Carolina with him.
Bryan said his brother "has a drug and alcohol problem and was trying to get his life back to normal," the report said.
Antley's wife, Natalie, who lives on the East Coast, is expecting the couple's first child in January.

For some time now, observers — a surprisingly wide range of them — have been saying that Barack Obama seems more like a king than a president. Leave aside the fanatics who think he is a "tyrant" of unparalleled powers and malignant purpose. Notions of that sort come easily to those who look for them; they are predigested and can safely be dismissed. But the germ of a similar conclusion may be found in a perception shared by many others. Obama, it is said, takes himself to be something like a benevolent monarch — a king in a mixed constitutional system, where the duties of the crown are largely ceremonial. He sees himself, in short, as the holder of a dignified office to whom Americans and others may feel naturally attuned.
What could have given Obama such a strange perspective on how the American political system was meant to work? Let us not ignore one obvious and pertinent fact. He came to the race for president in 2007 with less practice in governing than any previous candidate. At Harvard Law School, Obama had been admired by his professors and liked by his fellow students with one reservation: in an institution notorious for displays of youthful pomposity, Obama stood out for the self-importance of his "interventions" in class. His singularity showed in a different light when he was elected editor of the Harvard Law Review — the first law student ever to hold that position without having published an article in a law journal. He kept his editorial colleagues happy by insisting that the stance of theReview need not be marked by bias or partisanship. It did not have to be liberal or conservative, libertarian or statist. It could be "all of the above."

Unanswered: Stop fields in report from resizing in unison
This is probably an easy setting change, but I can't seem to find it after several attempts of looking.
In Access 2007, when I create a report from the report wizard it always links the fields together so that when you resize a field, it resizes the others to fill in the space. I also can't move the field to another place in the report without affecting the other fields. The only way to avoid this linking is to select "Justified", but I don't like the way it look and I have to do a lot of work to move it all around, thus denying the usefulness of the wizard. It's very frustrating and didn't seem to do this in previous versions of Access.

Happy New Year! Welcome to higher taxes!
Yes, that's right, Democrats, along with a minority of the majority Republicans in the House, voted to raise your taxes as part of the deal to avert the "fiscal cliff"! The Senate approved the measure and Obama, the champion of the middle class, signed off on the deal that will strip money from your paycheck. FYI, I'm firmly middle class. Continue reading

Myths About Taxes And The Rich Die Slowly
Facts are stubborn things. So too apparently are the minds of certain individuals. These individuals usually, but not always, tend to lean to the left. This is so because in order to be an individual who believes in the power and glory of Big Government as one's savior, it requires a mind so obstinate that facts simply cannot penetrate it. When facts attempt to enter a liberal's mind it is the proverbial unmovable object (the liberal mind) meeting the equally proverbial unstoppable force (the facts). Continue reading

Exchanging Third-Party Information With Minimum Transmission Cost
In this paper, the authors consider the problem of minimizing the total transmission cost for exchanging channel state information. They proposed a network coded cooperative data exchange scheme, such that the total transmission cost is minimized while each client can decode all the channel information held by all other clients. In this paper, they first derive a necessary and sufficient condition for a feasible transmission. Based on the derived condition, there exists a feasible code design to guarantee that each client can decode the complete information. They further formulate the problem of minimizing the total transmission cost as an integer linear programming.

Tourney Tips: Butler
In spite of their size, the Bulldogs do a good job getting to the line.
Special to Insider
Note: ESPN's Joe Lunardi assigned a team of Bracketologists to put together Insider's Tournament Tips, offering historical analysis of the bracket and in-depth breakdowns on all 65 tournament teams to help you make smart picks.
Lunardi's Logic
Not a good first round match up for the Bulldogs, who are better against "system" teams than the kind of athletes they'll face in LSU. It's a rare early exit for Cinderella this time.

"Minor operation dermatology department"
About: Chesterfield Royal Hospital Chesterfield Royal Hospital Chesterfield S44 5BL
Posted via NHS Choices
I saw a consultant in the dermatology department in December 2015. Whilst I had a long wait of approx 3/4 of an hour, the time spent in consultation was friendly, swift and helpful. I received minor surgery on my arm on 11 January undertaken by a Nurse specialist assisted by a nursing colleague.
I was also re-examined by the same consultant to ensure surgery was still necessary and the procedure was completed professionally and efficiently by the nurses.
Whilst I have been dissatisfied with my previous treatment in A & E, EMU and once in the Eye Clinic - I have nothing but praise for the staff and the treatment I have received in the Dermatology Department.. I feel confident I have received the best treatment possible undertaken by excellent professional and friendly staff at all levels.
Unfortunately, I do not have the names of the staff involved but I am sure these would be available from my notes if the hospital would wish to congratulate them as individuals. However, I congratulate the whole team and give them my thanks.
Response from Chesterfield Royal Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Thank you for letting us know how your minor surgery went in the Dermatology clinic.
I will certainly make sure your kind comments are passed on to the team of staff and I'm sure they'll be pleased to know how you felt about your care and treatment.
I was disappointed to read that you felt you've not had positive experiences in some of our other departments.
I hope you were able to tell us about these at the time to help us improve our services?
We are always keen to learn from our patients and our assistance & complaints team on 01246 512640 is happy to help when a patient feels something hasn't gone as well as it should have.
I hope you've made a good recovery from the surgery - with kind regards Sarah Turner-Saint, head of communications
