Newest Review: ... a basic setup wizard which could be used on all of the current Windows operating systems (95, 98, 98SE, ME) and from there all you then n... more
Good for burning discs back then, good for burning itself now.
HP CD-Writer 8230e
Member Name: NotMyToothbrush
HP CD-Writer 8230e
Date: 06/02/13
Advantages: Very good build quality, easy setup
Disadvantages: Only a CD burner, USB 1.1, slow write speed, essentially obsolete now.
This was our first ever CD burner (CD writer). It was back in about 2000 or 2001 when not all of our computers came with built-in CD and DVD burning capabilities and this standalone USB CD burner was our only way of getting Lionel Richie tracks transferred from our computer to our HiFi.
As it was so new, this device was cutting edge and amongst the best on the market at the time. It offered, relative to other devices available at the time, lightening fast write times and very reliable writing processes. Writing an entire CD of around 700MB would take just a few minutes.
From what I remember (it was 12 years ago!), setup was pretty easy. It came with a CD (I wonder if they used the writer to burn it?) which contained the driver for the device as well as a basic setup wizard which could be used on all of the current Windows operating systems (95, 98, 98SE, ME) and from there all you then needed to do was connect it using the USB 1.1 port (This was before the USB 2.0 standard was common).
As I mentioned, it used USB 1.1 and therefore this was one of the reasons that the writing speed was considerably slower than that of modern disk writers. The transfer speeds of USB 1.1 are far slower than the 2.0 standard and far, far slower than the newer 3.0 standard. If the device can't get the data fast enough, it cannot write it any faster!
Other aspects of this device which make it far slower at writing than current writers are that it had a far slower disk write speed (by this I mean 2x, 4x, 6x etc...) at just 6x being the maximum speed this makes the burning process slow. Anybody who regularly writes discs will be able to tell you that the slower the burn speed selected fro the task, the more reliable the burn will be and the less chance of failure. In the days of this CD burner, it was generally considered that 2x was the best speed to have for reliability without too significant speed loss. Today, 8x is the equivalent. Therefore the lowest recommended speed of today is faster than the maximum speed of this CD burner.
You may have mentioned that I haven't mentioned DVDs in this review. Although you can usually just go into any shop today and buy a "burner" and this will be both a CD and DVD burner, back in 2001, this was not the case. DVD was not mainstream and therefore many burners lacked the DVD burning function. This means that if you hoped to burn a home movie for use in a DVD player with this device, you'd better keep looking.
Another difference between today and back then in terms of this device is in its structural design. Back then this device seemed pretty slim, sleek and stylish. However now it is quite bulky in comparison to other burners who have far better capabilities also and it also looks very dated (which it actually is!). The build quality however was excellent, it felt very solid on the desk - this may be due to the large weight of the device which you do not get with modern burners which means that you will be more likely to break the floor than the burner if it dropped off the table though.
So, you've had a 2-in-1 with this write-up. You've had a "Very Good" (Hint, hint!), review about a CD burner and you've also had a computing history lesson. I hope you enjoyed it!
Summary: Although great at the time, it has certainly had its day.

Game Says He Isn't The Best Rapper, Speaks On Advice From Nas
Chuck Taylor explains that he would rather be comfortable in his own skin than be better than everyone else.
Game may boast in his raps, but that doesn't mean he considers himself the best rapper alive. During an interview with Sirius XM radio, the Compton, California native explained that some advice from Nas helped him understand that being the best shouldn't be a primary concern.
"I'm not [the best]. I stopped wishing to be the best, I stopped trying to be the best, because the best is what you make it," he said. "I had a conversation with Nas maybe six months ago, and he used to tell me that after Illmatic, people was calling him the illest. After that, after Illmatic dropped, he ust wanted to be the King of Hip Hop, he wanted to be number one. But as he got older and got closer to 30, he realized he didn't want to be the best no more. He just was comfortable in his own skin and just doing him. Hip Hop was changing and he didn't per se like the way it was going. So he could have changed and went with it, or he could have just did him and he chose to do him."
Taking Nasir's advice to heart, Chuck Taylor explained that his track record speaks for itself and that he doesn't have to assert his supremacy to be content with his accomplishments. "I felt the same way he did and I shared those sentiments. I don't want to be the best, I'm cool with being me. I got three platinum albums, all number one in the week they dropped, they debuted. This one's going to be number one, I guarantee it, the week that it drops. Right now, I'm just working on my legacy. I don't want to be number one. Everybody else can have that."

partially due to legal action...Royce has cryptically hinted at it in one of his tweets last night.
Why couldn't the Rockets send him to the D-League for 2 years, have him rot on the bench, then can him? That might be happening.
Printable View
From a mangerial point, yes......you would demote him, or give him less responsibility until he got his act together, which is exactly what it appears the Rockets were trying to do by sending him to the D-League along with some of the other rookies. I'm sure they think it would be a better situation for him to work into professional basketball, and get the playing time he needs to develop. It doesn't sound like that is acceptable to him though, which, imo, is just childish on his part.
He is a rookie. He has proven nothing as far as what kind of player he can be in the NBA.
Just think how much of a stronger impact he could make for the mental illness/anxiety cause if he would take care of business and become a star in the league. Now...... that would be a platform.
My interpretation of Royce's statement if I was management would be that Royce thinks he cannot be healthy working for my team and, in his eyes, sacrificing his health is not something he is willing to do. If this is correct, I do not see what choice management has other than to let go or reassign Royce as he has stated he is unwilling to work in the current environment he is in.Quote:
Originally Posted by cyclone13

While there, hopefully he can develop his ability to manage his anxiety in a less demanding professional setting so that he can later return to the Rockets and be a contributing member of their team.
I don't like coming to the conclusion that I did because I am a big fan of Royce trying to do his part to remove the stigma of mental illness by being so open and public about it. However, I think Royce's actions are only validating the stigma, and at this point, he simply needs to do everything he can to show the Rockets the he is worth the risk they took. The first thing Royce can do to advance his cause is to be a valuable member of the team as no advocacy or publicity he generates will have any positive effect if he shows that the risk the Rockets took on him wasn't worth it.
I really, really hope this ends up well for Royce, but given all the continuous drama, if I had to guess, I'm afraid I would say that it will not.
This kind of reminds of a girl I used to work with that demanded that she get to take her cat to work because of her depression. Both her and Royce have illnesses that are extremely difficult to deal with, but it's also difficult for employers to deal with these things, especially when the person with the illness is making a public stink about it.
Hmmm Royce needs to not play hoops anymore and grow up and work on his life a little more.
All the misdirection from @HoustonRockets about the "medical help" is laughable. I told them I would like to see MY doctor for 3yrs.
Royce just be quiet!!
You are not winning!!!!!!!
Since the Rockets are trying to help him and he does a no show that is BS on Royce's part and that saddens me.
This has been mentioned before: Who would want Royce White at this point? I understand he has a mental illness, and that is an unfortunate condition for one to have. I get that. But, to constantly get on twitter and just spout off about awareness is getting to be too over the top!!
Royce has been vocal about mental illness on twitter even before pre-season began, but not to this current frequent rate. I had told my father even before the season started that I suspected Royce was going to use the Mental Illness card as to why he wasn't getting playing time. Using the illness as a crutch is just wrong!
I would be surprised if he recovers from this latest drama and plays a minute of professional basketball.
As an outsider, I seriously wonder how RW made it through 2 years on campus? And (please correct me if I am wrong) didn't he have a child last year? That is as much of a responsibility as anything...hope his illness doesn't detract him from raising a child as should be done!
If the Rockets are trying to prevent RW from seeing his own doctor and only their doctor, that would be a legitimate complaint on RW's part. However, if the Rockets want RW to see their doctor in addition to RW's doctor I can perfectly understand that, and would probably insist on the same thing if I were the Rockets.
Anybody whose dealt with GAD knows that there is disagreement as to treatments and medications, and some meds make the situation worse in certain people. From personal experience with my mom, I also know that doctors get locked into treatment modes to the detriment of their patients.

Ten years before Lawton's death, Seattle's economy was struggling. Many of the towns in the area were depressed and city leaders thought a military post might bolster the economy. At the very least, the military would help curb the lawlessness, vagabonds, miscreants and undesirable elements of the burgeoning city. Seattle was competing with Tacoma for the post. Tacoma sought fortifications at Point Defiance. Seattle sought Magnolia. They were to build a coastal defense against the Spanish Navy. Brigadier General Elwell Otis was the one who made the decision, choosing Seattle. It was growing more quickly then Tacoma and the fort would be a good defense for the nearby Naval shipyards in Bremerton. A bill was introduced to the Senate. It passed. The Secretary of War gave 704 acres for its construction.
Surveys were made. Materials were purchased. In June 1898 construction began. Before long, barracks were built, captain's quarters, quarters for lieutenants and Noncommissioned officers. Bachelor Officer's Quarters were built, as was a warehouse for the Quartermaster. Wood-framed buildings, the Army took possession of the first completed units the month Lawton fell dead.
In the hot of July, 1901, the first troops arrived. Seattle welcomed 1st Lieutenant Mervyn Buckey and the 32nd Coast Artillery Corps, Company C. The 106th came soon after to man the coast. No coastal weapons, however, were ever installed. The fort remained an infantry post until 1921.
The fort did little for the economy, even less in regards to coastal defense. There were scant buildings and only a few hundred soldiers at the fort at any given time. And still no coastal weapons. During WWI, the troops provided guard duty at the Port of Seattle, little else. During the 1920s and 30s, the Civilian Conservation Corps moved in. They worked on Seattle's city parks.
During WWII, an inventory of the buildings was done and it was discovered there hadn't been much change or growth since its original inception. Permanent structures included a rifle range, nine houses, eight barracks, a hospital, stables, headquarters and a handful of temporary structures. Th war, however, brought soldiers. Lots of them. A hive of activity, Fort Lawton became a Port of Embarkation. They processed 793,000 soldiers for embarkation. They processed 618,000 returnees. They shipped 5,000 Italian detainees to Hawaii and the fort became a prisoner-of-war camp for 1,100 German POWs. The port closed as an embarkation station on October 1, 1949.
As Tacoma's Fort Lewis continued to grow in size and importance, Fort Lawton dwindled. The Korean Conflict gave the fort some activity but slowly the fort lost its military might as buildings became neglected and soldiers were assigned elsewhere. During the 1960s there was the inklings of turning the fort into a park. And so it was. In October 1970 President Richard Nixon signed "the Fort Lawton bill," opening the way for a park to take over the area.
Discovery Park was born in 1973, 74 years after Lawton died on a battlefield thousands of miles away.

Craigslist Deal of the Week: $1695 Presidio Heights 1 Bedroom
This one bedroom Presidio Heights apartment was a lovely surprise to find this week, not only because of its fabulous location and excellent price, but also because we've actually seen a unit in this building before so we can give you the real inside scoop without just blindly trusting the Craigslist ad (believe or not, some people stretch the truth on there). Located in the middle of tony Presidio Heights, the building is steps away from neighborhood shops and entertainment (the Vogue Theater is around the corner) close to buses (the 43 will take you right to your door), and about three blocks from the meandering trails and rolling green hills of the Presidio. The unit's bedroom may be a bit on the small side (we're not talking Manhattan-like small, just probably wouldn't fit a king-size bed) but the view from the living room truly makes the space, with sweeping, unobstructed views of downtown. Priced at $1695 a month, the apartment is quite a find for the area and will no doubt be swept up by someone quickly. The one negative we'd note is that there's no elevator and the twisting staircase could make it difficult to move into this top-floor unit, but hey, once you're in you'll be golden, and you're guaranteed a nice little daily workout on those steps.

In a large, nonreactive pot bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add artichokes. Squeeze juice from the lemon halves into water, then add peels along with the bay leaves and salt. Cover, reduce heat to simmering and cook until artichokes are tender, and base can be pierced with tip of a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain artichokes. When artichokes are cool enough to handle, trim the stems from base, to make the bottoms flat. Cut off 1-inch of leaves from top. Placing the artichokes on their base, spread apart the outer leaves and carefully remove and discard the center section and fuzzy choke, leaving outer leaves intact.
In a bowl combine the seafood, lettuce, radicchio and vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss well. Using a slotted spoon, fill each artichoke cup with about 1 cup of seafood salad. To serve, drizzle some of remaining vinaigrette over artichokes.

The Old Ways is the stunning new book by acclaimed nature writer Robert Macfarlane.
Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize 2012
In The Old Ways Robert Macfarlane sets off from his Cambridge home to follow the ancient tracks, holloways, drove-roads and sea paths that form part of a vast network of routes criss-crossing the British landscape and its waters, and connecting them to the continents beyond. The result is an immersive, enthralling exploration of the ghosts and voices that haunt old paths, of the stories our tracks keep and tell, of pilgrimage and ritual, and of songlines and their singers. Above all this is a book about people and place: about walking as a reconnoitre inwards, and the subtle ways in which we are shaped by the landscapes through which we move.
Told in Macfarlane's distinctive and celebrated voice, the book folds together natural history, cartography, geology, archaeology and literature. His tracks take him from the chalk downs of England to the bird-islands of the Scottish northwest, and from the disputed territories of Palestine to the sacred landscapes of Spain and the Himalayas. Along the way he walks stride for stride with a 5000-year-old man near Liverpool, follows the 'deadliest path in Britain', sails an open boat out into the Atlantic at night, and crosses paths with walkers of many kinds - wanderers, wayfarers, pilgrims, guides, shamans, poets, trespassers and devouts.
He discovers that paths offer not just means of traversing space, but also of feeling, knowing and thinking. The old ways lead us unexpectedly to the new, and the voyage out is always a voyage inwards.
'Really do love it. He has a rare physical intelligence and affords total immersion in place, elements and the passage of time: wonderful' Antony Gormley
'A marvellous marriage of scholarship, imagination and evocation of place. I always feel exhilarated after reading Macfarlane' Penelope Lively
'Macfarlane immerses himself in regions we may have thought familiar, resurrecting them newly potent and sometimes beautifully strange. In a moving achievement, he returns our heritage to us' Colin Thubron
'Every Robert MacFarlane book offers beautiful writing, bold journeys . . . With its global reach and mysterious Sebaldian structure, this is MacFarlane's most important book yet' David Rothenberg, author of Survival of the Beautiful and Thousand Mile Song
'Luminous, possessing a seemingly paradoxical combination of the dream-like and the hyper-vigilant, The Old Ways is, as with all of Macfarlane's work, a magnificent read.Each sentence can carry astonishing discovery' Rick Bass, US novelist and nature writer
'The Old Ways confirms Robert Macfarlane's reputation as one of the most eloquent and observant of contemporary writers about nature' Scotland on Sunday
'Sublime writing . . . sets the imagination tingling . . . Macfarlane's way of writing [is] free, exploratory, rambling and haphazard but resourceful, individual, following his own whims, and laying an irresistible trail for readers to follow' Sunday Times
'Macfarlane relishes wild, as well as old, places.He writes about both beautifully . . . I love to read Macfarlane' John Sutherland, Financial Times
'Read this and it will be impossible to take an unremarkable walk again' Metro
Robert Macfarlane won the Guardian First Book Award, the Somerset Maugham Award, and the Sunday Times Young...

lansoprazole IV Warnings
lansoprazole IV Uses
Lansoprazole is used to treat acid-related throat problems (erosive esophagitis). It works by blocking acid production in the stomach. This medication is known as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Decreasing excess stomach acid can help relieve symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, persistent cough, and trouble sleeping. It can also prevent serious acid damage to your digestive system (e.g., ulcers, cancer of the esophagus).
How to use lansoprazole IVThis medication is given by injection into a vein over 30 minutes as directed by your doctor, usually once daily.
When you are able to take medicines by mouth, your doctor will switch your treatment to an oral form of this drug.
If needed, antacids may be taken along with this medication.
The dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response to therapy.
If you are giving this medication to yourself at home, learn all preparation and usage instructions from your health care professional. Before using, check this product visually for particles or discoloration. If either is present, do not use the liquid. Learn how to store and discard medical supplies safely.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. Continue to use this medication for the prescribed length of treatment even if you are feeling better.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
lansoprazole IV Side Effects
Headache, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, or redness/swelling/pain at the injection site may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: stomach pain.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea) due to a type of resistant bacteria. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medications if you have any of these symptoms because these products may make them worse. Tell your doctor right away if you develop: persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, fever, blood/mucus in your stool.
A serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but get medical help right away if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
lansoprazole IV Precautions
Before using lansoprazole, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to similar drugs (e.g., omeprazole, pantoprazole); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, other stomach problems (e.g., tumors).
Some symptoms may actually be signs of a more serious condition. Tell your doctor immediately if you have: heartburn combined with lightheadedness/sweating/dizziness, chest pain or shoulder/jaw pain (especially with trouble breathing), pain spreading to arms/neck/shoulders, unexplained weight loss.
Proton pump inhibitors (such as lansoprazole) may increase your risk of bone fractures, especially with longer use, higher doses, and in older adults. Talk with your doctor about ways to prevent bone loss/fracture, such as taking calcium (such as calcium citrate) and vitamin D supplements.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
This medication should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk, but it may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
lansoprazole IV Interactions
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: cilostazol, methotrexate (especially high-dose treatment), theophylline, voriconazole, warfarin.
Some products need stomach acid so that the body can absorb them properly (such as ampicillin, atazanavir, dasatinib, erlotinib, nelfinavir, rilpivirine, certain azole antifungals including itraconazole/ketoconazole/posaconazole). Lansoprazole decreases stomach acid, so it may change how well these other products work. Before using lansoprazole, consult your doctor or pharmacist about the other medications you take and for advice on how to reduce or avoid these types of interactions.
Based on information for similar drugs, lansoprazole may increase the amount of digoxin that is absorbed into your blood. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details if you also take digoxin.
lansoprazole IV Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.
NOTES:Laboratory and/or medical tests may be performed periodically to monitor your progress or check for side effects.
MISSED DOSE:For the best possible benefit, it is important to receive each scheduled dose of this medication as directed. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately to establish a new dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
STORAGE:Consult the product instructions and your pharmacist for storage details. Keep all medications away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed. Consult your pharmacist or local waste disposal company.

CHAPTER XXIII.SAFEGUARDS AGAINST SUSPICIOUS EVIDENCE: INCLUDING INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE WEIGHING OF EVIDENCE.§ 1.Demand presented for such Safeguards, by the fear of change in case of the abolition of Exclusions.Throughout the whole texture of this work one practical conclusion is continually presenting itself: for fear of deception exclude not any evidence. How incontestable soever may be the propriety, such at the same time is the novelty of this recommendation, that, for obviating the reluctance which, in spite of reason, habit and imagination are on every such occasion so sure to produce, no safeguards which the nature of the case presents as capable of being opposed to apprehended mischief, seem much in danger of being regarded as superfluous. In this character, three proposed arrangements will here be brought to view:— I. Declaration of credence on the part of the exhibitant. II. Code of instructions, as from the legislator to the judge, concerning the weighing of evidence. III. Appropriate recordation;—viz. recordation of the cases in which suspicious evidence—evidence characterized by any cause of infirmity—has been exhibited—with the result, i. e. the decision that has ensued, and thence the credence or discredence which was produced by it: viz. in so far as, from the nature of the aggregate body, of which the particular article of evidence in question, in a case where it is not the only evidence, forms a part, any decided and well-grounded inference can be deduced. § 2.First Safeguard—Declaration of Credence from the Exhibitant.Of the sort of safeguard here in question, one exemplification or application has already been brought to view, viz. the declaration of credence proposed to be made by the party exhibitant, in the case of exhibition, made of a script in the character of an article of written evidence. Of a declaration to this effect, the subject-matter there in question extended not beyond the genuineness of the script; but the principle there brought to view will be found susceptible of an application somewhat more extensive. Among the objects and effects of the technical system, has been seen to be the giving to improbity, and thence to its principal instrument, fraud, every possible advantage: and, in particular, the providing for it a lurking place, where it may do its work in safety, secure not only against punishment so called, but against detection, and thereby against shame: to fraud in a negative shape thus securing, and without danger, that benefit which, at the hazard of so much danger, is sought for by fraud in its positive shape:—to fraudulent reticience, the benefit which, on other occasions, cannot be put in for, but under the perils which attach upon fraudulent mendacity. Of the natural system the object is, and in proportion as it prevails, the effect will ever be, to divest improbity and fraud of this, as well as so many other subterfuges: to force improbity either to give up its purpose altogether, or to give to its instruments its more odious as well as only punishable shape: to compel fraud to divest itself of the veil of reticience, and to stand forth in the stark nakedness of positive mendacity. For effecting this exposure, nature has offered to justice the efficient instrument so often brought to view, viz. interrogation: especially extemporaneous vivâ voce interrogation. At every meeting of the parties coram judice, this instrument, in the instances that have been already brought to view, has been seen applying itself as of course: no mind so rude and uncultivated as not to be able, with more or less facility, to apply it: none so inexperienced and helpless as not to be disposed and ready to apply it. But in that most efficient of its forms which has just been brought to view, the application of this instrument supposes mutual presence: existence of at least three persons in the presence of each other, viz. the two parties and the judge. At the same time, as there has been such frequent occasion to observe, cases are not wanting, in which, either physically or prudentially speaking, such tripartite presence is impracticable: and from the existence of this state of things, results the need of a succedaneum to such vivâ voce interrogation, viz. interrogation in the epistolary form:—or what may perhaps in some instances be made to perform the like office, and at any rate with less delay, vexation, and expense, uninterrogated declaration in the terms of a preappointed formulary. If it be fixed by a preappointed formulary, a declaration of this sort is not, however, by any means exempt from danger. The danger is—lest, by inappropriate penmanship, a man whose mind it finds in a state of probity and sincerity should be forced by it, not merely into insincerity, but into mendacity, as it were in his own defence: thus becoming productive of the very evil against which it is employed in the character of a remedy.* To testimony of the ordinary stamp, about to be delivered by a person in the character of a witness, it will scarcely be found applicable. Generally speaking, except in the case of preappointed evidence, the persons to whose service, in the character of witnesses, a man finds himself obliged to have recourse, are not of his choice:—1. The character and disposition of the witness may be dishonest and mendacious, and the party know nothing about the matter;—2. It may be not only mendacious, but even known by himself to be hostile to himself, and he not the less obliged to have recourse to it;—3. Mendacious to any degree, it may still throw upon the subject such instructive lights as could not be had from any other source; for when recognised for what it is, falsehood itself becomes a guide to truth; and the grounds on which the probity and veracity of a proposed witness are suspected, may be sufficient to warrant the suspicion while retained by the party in his own breast, without being sufficient to warrant the divulgation of them, and thereby the imprinting on the character of the witness the stain of infamy, which, at the same time may be altogether undeserved. On the technical theory, according to which, as above, the person of whose testimony a party happens to stand in need is to be considered as his own creature—the work of his own hand—it belongs not to you "to discredit your own witness;" that is, when you find him mendacious, to use any endeavours to cause him to be regarded as such—any more than it belongs to a workman to discredit his own work. If to the lot of the inventor of that maxim it had fallen to pen a declaration of credence to be made by a party exhibitant, and to be applied to the testimony of the witness produced by him,—what would have been the effect of it on the shape that would have been given to it by the learned pen? In the instance of every witness, except the comparatively few of whose probity the party happened to stand well assured, he would have found himself compelled to deprive himself of the benefit of their testimony, or else to purchase it by a lie. So much for orally and other judicially delivered evidence. In the case of written, viz. already written evidence, in addition to the genuineness of the script exhibited by him, if there be any other matter of fact to which a declaration of credence, to be delivered by the party exhibitant, according to a preappointed formulary, be safely applicable, it will be, in the case of an instrument of contract, the fairness of the contract. Perhaps also, in some cases, where in and by the script in question, this or that matter of fact is averred or assumed by a statement of which, by the exhibition of the script in the character of evidence, he seeks to avail himself, an additional subject of his declaration of credence may be the verity of the whole, or of this or that part of the contents of the so-exhibited script. With these observations, the applicability of a declaration of credence—understand always according to a preappointed formulary—may be left, till the time shall come for putting the instrument to the test by the application of it to this or that particular case. But let it not be forgotten, that the declaration of credence to which the above-mentioned objections apply, is only of that sort which would be consigned to a preappointed formulary. Extracted by interrogation, the declaration is not the less a declaration of credence: and in this shape it may be rendered obtainable, without any of that danger to which, as above, it would, in the case of a preappointed formulary, stand exposed. Correspondent in some sort to the declaration of credence as above described, on the part of a party exhibitant, is, on the other part, the declaration of discredence which, by the relation it bears in the way of opposition to the other, seems sufficiently explained: it is a sort of counter security, that presents itself as requisite to be given, in return for and in consideration of the other. The object of the one is to prevent dishonest and insincere exhibition: of the other, to prevent dishonest and insincere contestation;—that sort of contestation, by which, under the encouragement given by the technical system, a party in whose mind no doubt respecting the verity, or as the case may be, the genuineness of this or that article of evidence which is ready to be exhibited on the other side,—or in case of an instrument of contract, the fairness of the contract,—requires the proof of it, partly for the purpose of oppression, viz. by means of the delay, vexation, and expense, partly for the chance of succeeding by misdecision; by misdecision, the looked-for result of accident, by which the forthcomingness, or the authentication of the articles of evidence in question, may be prevented: and the perpetually recurring result of that system under which, from the non-observance of some unpreappointed and ex post facto established condition, on grounds frequently not so much as pretended to have any relation to the merits of the cause, a pretence for refusing to the plaintiff the promised service, is, at the suggestion of a dishonest defendant's law-assistants, extracted by the judge at pleasure. § 3.Second Safeguard—Code of instructions concerning the weighing of Evidence.By the article thus denominated, is meant to be presented to view, a body of instructions sanctioned by the legislator, and by him addressed to the judge, to serve him for his guidance. In the character of a preservative against deception, in place of exclusion, suspicion has, in the course of this work, been all along brought to view. In the several instances in which, under the present system, on the ground of untrustworthiness, and for fear of deception, exclusion is, with any appearance of reasonable cause, howsoever inadequate, put upon this or that article of evidence, the main object and use of such a code will be to direct the eye of suspicion upon the evidence, by indication of the circumstances by which, in the character of causes of comparative untrustworthiness, the demand for suspicion, and thence for circumspection and scrutiny, is produced. Of the system of instructions in question, this, however, though the main object, and the only object which on the present occasion and to the present purpose comes directly in view, will not by any means be the only object, the only business, or the only use. Taken all together, the object of such a system will be, to present to, and keep under the eye of the judge, under the head of each species of evidence, a sort of table of the circumstances by which the probative force of it seems liable to be influenced. For the construction of such an instrument of security, fortunately the hand of power—of public power—is not altogether necessary. An instrument of this sort, put together, in a form however imperfect, out of such materials as honest diligence unarmed with power could command, forms accordingly part of the matter contained in the body of this work.* Of the circumstances which, with so blind a precipitancy, have by temerity or dishonesty been taken for grounds of exclusion, many will naturally be found to serve in the character of grounds of suspicion,—but, even in that character, not all of them. Of instructions, furnished as here by an uncommissioned hand, one advantage is—that under so powerful a check as that which will be so sure to be opposed to them by adverse authority, exerted by sinister interest and intrenched in prejudice, they are in little danger of operating with greater force than is their strictest due:—a disadvantage is, that over whatever part of the field the iron hand of exclusion stretches, the voice of instruction, for any effect it can produce, is powerless, and might as well not be lifted up. § 4.Third Safeguard—Recordation of cases where suspicious evidence has been received.By the substitution of the system of instruction to the system of exclusion, could any real fear of prevalent deception and consequent misdecision be produced? By the testimony of experience, as recorded under a set of appropriate heads in the official books, all such fears might effectually be dispelled. 1. Causes in the year so many;—2. Whereof, causes in which, to suspicious evidence, of such and such species, distinguishing each species, admission had been given, so many;—3. Among which, the instances in which the result had been in favour of the suspicious evidence, are so many;—4. In the number of those in which the result was in favour of the side on which the suspicious evidence was admitted, would be seen the maximum of the mischief, if any, that could have been thus produced by the abolition of the exclusionary system: I say, if any; for, on the occasion of any given suit or cause, it is only from the view of the whole body of evidence, and not from the mere circumstance of admission given in each individual instance to suspicious evidence, coupled with that of a decision pronounced in favour of that side, that any just ground could be made for any such inference as that deception, misdecision, and thence mischief, had in that cause been the result. In regard to scripts in general, and instruments of contract in particular, it has been stated as a matter of general notoriety, that in comparison of the whole number exhibited, the number of those of which the genuineness has been matter of real distrust or doubt, and as such has been rendered the subject-matter of contestation, is small in the extreme. Of the here proposed system of recordation, one effect would be the exhibiting the exact number of, and thence the exact proportion between, these two aggregates: and so, in the case of those instruments of contract, in the instance of which the fairness of the contract itself,—of the engagement entered into, or the disposition made—became a subject of contestation. In the same way, in the list of contested instruments would be noted and preserved the difference between the number of those in which, to appearance, the prescribed formalities had been observed, and the number of those in which, in that respect, failure was in any shape visible; notice being likewise, in each instance, taken of the particular shape or shapes in which the failure had presented itself. [* ]When, to enable a man to entitle himself to right in any shape, or (to speak still more generally) to advantage in any shape, any such declaration is exacted from him as without danger of discovery may in any respect be false—falsehood, and upon a scale to which there are no bounds, is sure to be the result:—falsehood, of which the legislator who exacts or permits the exaction of any such declaration, is the suborner. In this case, the right—the advantage—is a bounty upon insincerity—upon positive mendacity; and the hand of the sovereign is the hand which offers it. [* ]See also Appendix A. |

LANSING (MI) – Lieutenant Governor John Cherry has dropped out of the race for governor. He was once considered the clear frontrunner to win the Democratic nomination.
Longtime fundraiser Faylene Owen says lieutenant governor John Cherry has decided against running to succeed democratic governor Jennifer Granholm.
Owen confirmed Tuesday morning that the lieutenant governor, who has not formally entered the race, plans to announce that he won't be running.
Owen, an East Lansing resident and Michigan State University trustee, says the tough economy and Granholm's record has made it difficult for Cherry to raise money.
LANSING, MI – Most natural gas customers in Michigan are seeing lower bills so far this heating season because of warmer than normal temperatures and high levels of gas in underground storage.
The Michigan Public Service Commission said Monday that temperatures are 2% above average so far this heating season. Storage levels are nearly 14% above the five-year average.

Astronomers say star fuel may be caught in cosmic web UMASS NEWS RELEASE Posted: June 10, 2006 Astronomers have detected substantial amounts of filamentary, cold gas in compact groups of galaxies, highlighting what may be an important force in galactic evolution, scientists announced at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Calgary, Alberta. The findings also raise the intriguing possibility that more matter than previously thought may be tied up in these galaxy groups, captured in the lattice of the cosmic web.
Most spiral galaxies, such as the Milky Way, are brimming with cold gas that fuels the creation of stars these - young galaxies shine with bluish light and are scattered throughout the universe, often in little groups. Elliptical galaxies, on the other hand, tend to shine red and live a crammed existence with thousands like them in giant galactic clusters. These enormous, older galaxies no longer make stars - they have been stripped of their gas - which gets swirled into the cluster's center, collecting in a massive hot soup that astronomers call the intracluster medium. Recently astronomers have noticed that some groups of spiral galaxies don't contain as much hydrogen gas as expected and are no longer birthing new stars, qualities usually found in older galaxies living out their years within a cluster. "The spiral galaxies in the groups we looked at look old and tired - it's as if they've prematurely aged," says Yun. Astronomers are still trying to figure out what happens between being a young, blue galaxy and an old, red one, says Yun. Perhaps group living was taking a toll on these young galaxies and, like the intracluster medium, the gravitational forces of an intragroup medium were stripping them of their star fuel. Presence of intragroup gas had been confirmed by recent observations using X-rays, but the amount of gas detected by the X-rays couldn't account for the amount missing from the galaxies. So Yun's team began observing 25 Hickson Compact Groups - compact, relatively isolated, groups of galaxies, some of which had shown this mysterious gas depletion. The scientists used the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in West Virginia. The Green Bank Telescope uses radio waves and has a 100 meter aperture lens. It can point into the sky more precisely than one thousandth of a degree and is the most sensitive tool astronomers have for detecting neutral hydrogen gas in galaxies, gas not visible with X-ray observations. The researchers detected far more gas than they would have imagined, says Yun. In groups dominated by spiral galaxies, the astronomers found about 50 percent more gas than they had detected using the NSF's Very Large Array in New Mexico, also operated by the NRAO. And groups that had elliptical or lenticular galaxies had almost 100 percent more gas than had been previously detected. Just as surprising as the quantity of gas is its temperature, says Yun. The gas is cold and neutral, not the fiery hot gas of the intracluster medium. Intracluster mediums have enormous amounts of mass, both from ordinary matter and dark matter, and hence have extremely strong gravitational fields. This can lead to excessively high temperatures - upwards of a million degrees - so astronomers hadn't looked much for cold, neutral gas. "It makes sense actually," says Yun, the groups aren't as massive as clusters, so the gas isn't as hot. Borthakur's calculations suggest that this gas can remain cold and neutral for as much as 100 million years or more in the group environment. The findings suggest that this environment plays a far more important role in the evolution of galaxies than astronomers previously thought. "The local environment clearly can influence a galaxy's gas content and its ability to form stars," says Yun. Since these qualities are one measure of a galaxy's age, the findings may prompt a re-evaluation of the cosmic clock, he says. Another intriguing aspect of this cold neutral hydrogen gas is its distribution, says Borthakur. Analyses suggest that the gas forms sheet-like or filamentary structures, rather than a single diffuse cloud that surrounds the entire group. This raises the possibility that this intragroup medium builds up through the accumulation of matter from the cosmic web, the large scale structure that astronomers believe may link all of the matter in the universe, as predicted by the theory of dark matter. "The only way a galaxy could be cleanly stripped of its gas is through a collision with more gas," say Yun. Gas accounts for far more of a galaxy's mass than its stars do, such that if an outer galaxy falls into a cluster its gas is stripped, subsumed by the intracluster medium. "A lot of the matter of the universe may be tied up in these small galaxy groups," says Yun. Future experiments designed to determine the temperature, density and the total mass of this intragroup medium will be able to determine quantitatively its origin and the importance of this gas in shaping the evolution of most galaxies. This research was supported by the NSF and the Green Bank Telescope Student Support Program at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a facility of the NSF operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. |
