ARVO Friedenwald Award Lecture
Lisbon, Portugal
September 14, 2012
The mission of the Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) is to conserve, improve and restore vision through advances in laser and optical technology.
The Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) at Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health & Science University is a interdisciplinary research center focusing on the application of biomedical optics in clinical medicine. The center has special expertise in two areas: optical coherence tomography (OCT) and laser eye surgery. Among the various eye imaging technologies, OCT has the highest spatial resolution and allows noncontact cross-sectional visualization of internal structures only a few micrometers in thickness. The femtosecond laser and excimer laser allow surgeons to cut and reshape the eye with micrometer control. Using these 2 cutting-edge technologies, the physicians and scientists in the COOL laboratory are working together to diagnose eye diseases with greater accuracy and perform eye surgeries with greater precision.
Dr. David Huang was inducted into the American Ophthalmological Society in May 2014.
Chenxing Zhang is an ophthalmologist in the Southwest eye hospital (西南眼科医院, Chongqing, China). After completing his MD degree in China, he wanted to specialized in cornea thus he applied for a 2-year international research fellowship in the COOL Lab to study corneal surgeries and related clinical research. His application was approved in 2012 and he just completed the fellowship in 2014.
Chenxing's research work focused on femtosecond laser-assisted corneal surgeries. During his 18 months stay, Chenxing finished one case report about INTACS complication and one journal article about inverted-side cut lamellar keratoplasty as the first author. Meanwhile, he observed varies types of corneal surgeries once every two weeks including PTK, Femto-LASIK, INTACS, IEK, and femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty. He also worked laboratory and clinical studies related to LASIK nomogram design, anterior lamellar keratoplasty, and early keratoconus diagnosis.
Chenxing believes that the experience gained in the COOL Lab will not only be helpful in learning the latest surgical techniques in LASIK and laser-assisted corneal surgeries but also be helpful in future analysis of the large amount of clinical data on LASIK and keratoconus in the Southwest eye hospital.
Dr. David Huang was presented with the Jonas Friedenwald Award at ARVO's 2013 Annual Meetng held in Seattle, WA. The Friedenwald Award is presented annually by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) to recognize outstanding research in the basic or clinical sciences as applied to ophthalmology.
Dr. Huang was presented wth the award after which he gave the Friedenwald Lecture and spoke on the topic of Structural and Functional Optical Coherence Tomography. The lecture was followed by an award reception which was attended by many friends and colleagues.
See OCT News for more informaton.
Also at ARVO, Dr. Huang's mentor and friend, Dr. James G. Fujimoto, gave the Champalimaud Award Lecture.
David Huang, M.D., Ph.D., Oregon Health & Science University, received the 2012 Champalimaud Vision Award during a ceremony held in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 14, 2012, along with colleagues James G. Fujimoto, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Carmen A. Puliafito, M.D., M.B.A, University of Southern California; Joel S. Schuman, M.D., FACS, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; Eric A. Swanson, M.S., NinePoint Medical, Inc.; and David R. Williams, Ph.D., University of Rochester.
The award was received for developing new approaches to visualizing the living human retina in health and disease: optical coherence tomography, or OCT, and adaptive optics technologies, or AO. The award is often called the "Nobel Prize for Vision" and is the largest monetary prize in the field of vision and one of the largest scientific and humanitarian prizes in the world.
Dr. Huang explains the history and future of OCT in the video:

Advanced Imaging in Glaucoma Study
Dr. Catherine Cleary, MD, a corneal surgeon and a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, worked in the COOLLab from January to December 2010 while she was a research fellow with Dr David Huang at the Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California. During this time she performed research on applications of anterior segment Fourier-Domain OCT combined with femtosecond and excimer lasers to develop novel corneal transplantation techniques. This involved a series of experiments testing novel OCT-guided transplant techniques on eye-bank eyes. Two papers based on this work have been accepted for publication in the journal Cornea. She also worked on OCT applications used in guiding laser treatment of superficial corneal scars and opacities and on guiding accurate femtosecond laser keratotomy incisions for the treatment of high astigmatism following corneal transplantation. Lastly, she collaborated on projects involving Fourier-Domain OCT imaging of the anterior chamber angle. Following her year with the COOLLab, Dr Cleary returned to Ireland where she is now a faculty member at a University Hospital specializing in the treatment of corneal diseases.
In August 2011 Oregon Health & Science University, Casey Eye Institute received a 3.9 million dollar NIH grant entitled "Guiding the treatment of anterior eye disease with optical coherence tomography." Dr. David Huang, the principal investigator, and other investigators at the Center for Ophthalmic Optics & Lasers (www.coollab.net) will coordinate the multi-center technology development and clinical study efforts. There are four sub-awards in this project: 1) James Fujimoto, PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (engineering site), 2) Douglas Koch, MD, Baylor School of Medicine Cullens Eye Institute, 3) Mark Terry, MD, Legacy Emmanuel Health Center, Devers Eye Institute and 4) Bibiana Jin Reiser, MD, Children's Hospital Los Angeles. This is the second 5 year award for this multiyear project which started in 2007 and ends in 2016. Below is an overview of the project.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a cross-sectional and 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging technology with very fine spatial resolution (5 microns). This project develops the methods and software needed for high-precision OCT measurements of the eye to guide implant, laser and transplant surgeries in the front part of the eye. This NIH grant aims to accurately calculate intraocular lens power and improve outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with previous laser vision correction and to improve the precision, safety and effectiveness in laser correction of cloudy or irregular corneas and laser-assisted corneal transplantation.
The project aims to develop and utilize a new generation of very high speed OCT (about 10 times faster than previous models, taking an image in as little as 2/1000 of a second). The extended range will enable new types of measurements to be done accurately.
The Specific Aims of the grant are as follows:
(1) To develop ultrahigh-speed OCT hardware and software for measuring optical surfaces of the anterior eye. Intrinsic eye movements effectively limit measurement of corneal shape by commercial OCT. This will be overcome by several approaches, including ultrahigh-speed OCT at 500 kHz, dual-beam OCT to simultaneously capture the shape of both the cornea and the lens, simultaneous capture of Placido-ring videokeratography and motion correction software. The goal is to provide reliable measurements on front and back surfaces of both the cornea and crystalline lens.
(2) To develop an OCT-based intraocular lens power formula. Currently, surgeons lack an accurate way to calculate the precise intraocular lens (IOL) power for cataract patients who have previously had laser vision correction. These patients may be left near- or far-sighted after cataract surgery. An OCT-based IOL formula, using measurements of both anterior and posterior corneal powers, can give surgeons more precise information that will significantly improve visual outcomes. The OCT-based IOL formula will be tested in a clinical trial.
(3) To develop OCT-guided excimer laser surface ablation. The excimer laser can remove cloudy layers from the front of the cornea and correct distorted shape due to keratoconus or transplant surgery. The group has developed 3-D OCT-based planning to optimally remove cloudiness due to corneal scars and stromal dystrophies. This method will be tested in a larger clinical trial. The method will be improved by adding 3-D OCT measurement of corneal shape (topography) to plan the correction of any shape distortion.
(4) To develop OCT-guided laser-assisted anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty. Most corneal diseases involve only the inner or outer layer of the cornea. Thus a partial thickness transplant can treat these diseases while avoiding the complications of full-thickness transplantations (rejection, irregular wound shape, etc). However, manual dissection of corneal layers is technically difficult and vision after surgery is limited by the rough interfaces. Therefore, OCT methods have been developed to guide the shaping and smoothing of donor and host corneas with a combination of an excimer laser to create smooth interfaces and a femtosecond laser to create tongue-in-groove edge fits. Pilot clinical trials of these techniques are proposed. The end goal is to develop surgeries that reliably improve the vision in patients with keratoconus, corneal dystrophies and deep scars.
OHSU investigators will work with collaborators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Optovue, Inc. to develop the advanced OCT imaging technology. The clinical studies will be performed at Casey Eye Institute, Cullens Eye Institute, Devers Eye Institute, and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The ultimate goal is to improve the precision, visual outcome, and safety of anterior eye surgeries.
The COOL Lab has moved into their newly remodeled lab space on the 3rd floor of the Casey Eye Institute. It is a fabulous space that houses all of our staff and has dry and wet laboratories. We are very fortunate to have a high-tech conference room and a balcony with views of the aerial tram and the mountains.
Thanks to all who made this possible and for those that endured the remodel!

At this present time, I'm running one of our sites, www.ieventus.com, on EC2 and migrated much of our photo data from MySQL to SimpleDB.
I seemed fine when accessing lone images but when visiting a gallery page that has over 2000 image records, that mongrel would timeout.
Right now, I'm creating an Amazon SimpleDB Proxy app (or server) that's uses Rack, Thin, and Memcached for caching. My caching system will be modular, so if you wanted to have a disk based caching system, it would be quite easy.
There was an post by Subbu on A RESTful version of Amazon's SimpleDB that heavily influenced the RESTFUL aspect of this project.
I'll keep you guys posted on my progress.

They put their lives on the line for our
country every day. But our troops could soon face a pay cut. Civilians who work
for the Defense Department --- even here in the Tri-State --- could, too.
Under a proposal from outgoing Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta, a junior enlisted service member will be making about $130 less per
month than they were planning on.
It may not be a high deduction but it's
badly needed cash for military families who try to get by on $1,500 each month.
Panetta warns that the upcoming budget battle in Washington
over automatic cuts to the Defense Department could impact thousands of
civilian defense workers, too.
"We will furlough as many as 800,000 DoD civilians around
the country for up to 22 days," he said in a recent speech. "They could face a
20% cut in their salary. You don't think that's going to impact on our
Secretary Panetta went on to say that automatic cuts at the
Pentagon would have a devastating impact on America's ability to respond to
crises around the globe.

about all of this in his State of the Union Address Monday night.

Lepra criticises Government's India aid withdrawal
5:37pm Friday 9th November 2012 in News
Colchester-based aid charity Lepra has questioned the Government's decision to make no new financial aid commitments to India.
Lepra, which has worked in India for more than 90 years, has labelled the decision a sound-bite policy not rooted in the needs of real people.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening announced the move which will stop all financial assistance from the UK to India from 2015, and will save about £200million.
Ms Greening, who took responsibility for Britain's aid budget in September, said programmes already under way would be completed as planned, but no new ones would be signed off.
Sarah Nancollas, chief executive of Lepra, said: "It is right to recognise and applaud the progress that India has made through investment in lifting 60 million people out of poverty since 2006.
"However, there are still more than 421 million people living in extreme poverty in India's poorest eight states, more than in the 26 poorest African countries combined.
"Many argue that, with increasing wealth, the government of India should not need help to tackle the issues of poverty within their country.
"However, people living in extreme poverty can't wait for the long-term structural changes needed in many states where regional Government capacity is weak and health systems barely function. They need help now."
Last year, Lepra worked directly with more than 700,000 of India's extreme poor and reached a further one million with life-saving health education.
It argues India cannot be viewed as a single country, but should be treated like a continent because of the structure of the country with states with populations of 100 million.
Ms Nancollas describes the decision to cut aid as a short-term political decision aimed at earning popular support rather than being based in the realities of the development needs of people living in abject poverty.

Salisbury, MD. The Chesapeake Bay, our water ways and aquifers are our treasures. Without pure, clean water, our communities cannot remain healthy. There are hundreds of studies out there blaming the contamination of our waters on misuse and over-use of pesticides and fertilizers, animal waste run-off, manufacturing pollutants carried in by the winds, improper disposal of contaminants and on and on and on.
The purpose of this blog is not to decide blame, but to encourage personal responsibility at a grass roots level. The simple fact is, we all need to be involved in the preservation of the Bay and we all can do better. Tuesday evening, the Master Gardeners met at the Extension Service in Wicomico County to learn more about how each of us can be better stewards of the land. The standard used was one called "Bay-Wise Maryland Yardstick" and you can obtain your personal copy by Googling "Bay-Wise Maryland Yardstick" and printing out the five page questionnaire. The "Bay-Wise Maryland Yardstick" helps gardeners evaluate landscapes with a series of easy-to-answer questions in a variety of categories which include:
Controlling storm water runoff
Encouraging wildlife
Protecting the waterfront
Mowing and watering efficiently
Managing pests
Mulching and recycling
Fertilizing wisely (and)
Planting wisely
The quiz assigns "inches" based on the value of each of the activities and each "Bay-Wise" answer rewards you with a certain number of inches. The goal is to reach or exceed 36". It's a fun quiz and a terrific learning experience for adults and kids alike. So! Off your rockers and google "Bay-Wise Maryland Yardstick" to find out how savvy your gardening techniques really are.
The Gardening Grannies are a group of avid and Master Gardeners who live, love and garden on the Delmarva Peninsula. You can reach them at email@example.com.

text: This is all a shame because in almost every other aspect I found the Norwegian Sun to be a far better ship than I had expected. The other negative was service. There was virtually no table service (drinks etc.) in the buffets. Even in the main dining rooms I ended up having to get my own coffee in the morning (that was early in the cruise--later I just made my own in my room). That brings up another significant point--Norwegian's crew/passenger ratio is significantly worse than Holland America's; yet, they expect you to give a higher daily tip: $12 (in contrast to Holland America's $11). I didn't do it--I just gave the same $11 (it probably should have been $10).

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A Scripps Ranch man whose gun discharged and mortally wounded a neighbor boy as the fourth-grader and the defendant's 9-year-old daughter played with the weapon pleaded guilty Monday to a pair of felony child endangerment counts.
Todd Conrad Francis, 56, faces up to four years in state prison when he is sentenced April 8, while Francis' attorney can ask the judge to place the defendant on probation.
The question of whether Francis' firearm was loaded when the children found it is in dispute, said defense attorney Danna Cotman.
Cotman said Francis wanted to plead guilty to accept responsibility for his actions and spare everyone involved the trauma of a trial.
The attorney said her client also wanted a message to go out in connection with his plea.
"No matter how well you think you might have hidden your weapon or stored your ammunition, please never underestimate children, they will find things, and we really want to make sure that no one else gets harmed," Cotman said. "So my client really wants to get the word out there, please secure all weapons in a locked, safe place, so that children can't get them."
San Diego police said 10-year-old Eric Klyaz was handling a 9 mm pistol in the defendant's garage at a condominium complex in the 10900 block of Ivy Hill Drive last June 4, along with Francis' 9-year-old daughter, Cierra, when the gun went off.
The Dingeman Elementary School student suffered a chest wound and died at Rady Children's Hospital shortly afterward.
Deputy District Attorney Matthew Dix said prosecutors believe Francis' gun was loaded when the children found it.
"Our position has always been, based on the facts of this case, that the gun was, in fact, loaded," Dix said. "There's also some DNA evidence in this case that negates the argument that the magazine or the bullets were handled by either Cierra, Eric or the older son."
Francis' wife, Susan, testified during a preliminary hearing last year that she got home about 3:30 p.m. and asked her 15-year-old son, Chad, to watch his younger sister while she ran an errand.
About 20 minutes later, she said she got a call from the teen, telling her to come back home because police were there and someone had been hurt.
Chad Francis testified he was upstairs using a computer and unaware that Eric had come over to play. The teenager testified that he had seen a gun case in the garage but never seen a gun.
Mark Jones testified that he was fixing a neighbor's garage door about 4:15 p.m. when he heard a shot and saw Cierra running out of the Francis' garage, screaming.
Jones said he saw the boy on the ground motionless and started CPR.
"There was a gun on a sofa," Jones testified.
Jones said a 911 operator told him to remove the gun, which he did.
"I was concerned when I moved it, because it was cocked," Jones testified.
A San Diego police officer testified that Todd Francis told him that the gun was hidden and was sure it wasn't loaded. Francis told the officer that he should have secured the gun better.
"He said, `If that kid dies, I don't want to live anymore,"' the officer testified.
Detective Brett Burkett testified that Cierra told him she "might have" fired the gun. The next day, Burkett said he heard Cierra tell a social worker she found the gun on a couch in the garage.
"She said, `We were touching it and it shot. It shot him,"' Burkett said.
Cierra said she had never seen the gun before and wasn't sure if it was real. She said she didn't put bullets in the gun, according to Burkett.

Bosphorus Night View from Cengelkoy
The World > Asia > Middle East > Turkey > Istanbul
Çengelköy is a neighbourhood of Üsküdar district on the Asian shore of Istanbul, Turkey found between Beylerbeyi and Vaniköy. It is a mainly residential district. There were many mansions built there in the Ottoman period. It is world famous for the small cucumbers once grown there, which are now grown in Kandıra.

Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.
It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

Indonesia is an art scene often overlooked, historically buried in religious and political turmoil and overshadowed by India's emergence. Group shows or coherent surveys of artists from the world's most populous Muslim nation have been few and far between, so "Trans-Figurations", presenting 11 Yogyakarta-based contemporary artists at Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton in Paris, not only illuminates Indonesian art but elevates it beyond the expected, showing a seamless crossroads of traditional mythology, newly harnessed creative freedom, national unity and touches of global inspiration.
"What makes Yogyakarta special is the combination of intellectual and artistic aesthetics," says Heri Dono, a veteran of the capital's scene and, at age 51, something of an informal godfather to the exhibition, for which he presents a line-up of figures inspired by traditional wayang golek shadow puppets. The works bear a slight ressemblance to the Japanese manga cartoon "UFO Robot Grendizer," outfitted with little chest-transistors.
"From the outside, you only see Indonesian tradition, but inside, nothing is dictated by that," Dono told ARTINFO."The artists gain from exhibiting internationally, but keep the local issues and context - problems as basic as earthquakes and volcanos. The art, the culture and the people are all connected, art is never just for its own sake. Artists have become mediators."
Artistic freedom remains a recent blessing, with galleries, impromptu exhibition spaces and education options for creatives only blossoming since 1998, with fledgling democratization following decades of repression by General Suharto's military regime. Socio-political context has been a core — in 1992, Dono gathered gravediggers to dance in front of the Sultan's Jakarta palace in a brazen critique of the government. Still, "Trans-Figurations" is remarkably harmonious, showing artists who prefer larger questions of culture and tradition — in one instance, defusing and putting into context traditional myths of warfare bravery — to defining their post-authoritarian national identity.
Indonesia's artists have mostly remained clear of Western art movements and categorization, yet their work blends history and heritage — culled from across Indonesia's more than 13,000 islands — with smart international styles, from graffiti to arte povera. "There's philosophy in dance, which has been accompanied by graffiti and connected to architecture, litterature, music, and the wayang golek and batik textiles," says Dono, who uses a big cake as metaphor for the art world. "In modern art, if an artist invents a style, he takes it to his lawyer and no other artist can uses it. Every artists takes a slice of the cake, but a new cake is never made. In Indonesia, we don't say that we discover, we say that we borrow. Nothing is ours. In contemporary art, we borrow everything that is already there and the fruit of this fusion becomes a new source of art and spirit. Art is like breathing together. It's not just in some collection."
The different pieces of "Trans-Figurations" form a patchwork across very different themes and influences. One highlight of the exhibition is filmmaker Garin Nugroho's Gormley-like figure, suspended in a darkened room against videos exploring womanhood. Arie Dyanto portrays himself as a heavily tattooed, counter-culture gang boy in drawings reminiscent of Chicano tattoo art. Tintin Wulia tackles global questions of nation and identity with a landscape of colorful passports upon white pedestals, toppled into a disorderly pile in a performance to open the exhibition.
Bayu Widodo is a newcomer, still without gallery representation for his poetically psychological drawings channeling Jean-Michel Basquiat as much as Robert Crumb. Whether surfing, dancing or writhing in agony, the skeletal faces of Widodo's characters remain fixed in their sad stares; in the show, they come closest to referencing pain of the soul. "It's about life in the city and how you can get anything there," Widodo said of two large drawings, one showing a figure curled up in fetal position, with inner city highrises on his back, weighing him down. "I'm staying in Pantin (a Paris suburb) and everday I see many immigrants, Tunisian or Moroccan, in the parks. They seem confused and uncertain, they want to talk and find their identity. Jakarta is the same, the city is like a hope and a dream, but it depends how you use it. It can also be a city of nightmare."
Ariadhitya Pramuhendra leaves a church confession booth and pew blackened and burnt to cinders, a display that is oddly non-confrontational, even as discrimination against Catholics among the world's largest Muslim population remains. The relics are not real, but sculpted by the artists before the burning. Alongside the ashes hang charcoal paintings of the artist's younger sister, in a Jesus Christ pose, and Pramuhendra himself, in a priest's robe. He grew up in a Catholic family and insists his work is a critique of religion, but rather a reflection on hardships. "My family has been through some tough times, it's like we're living in the dark ages. It's like everyone is being crucified," says Pramuhendra of his statement that, if shown in his home country, will almost certainly resonate against church burnings by Muslim radicals and will be interpreted as more than a personal voice.
"Burning is not negative, to me," says the artist. "We burn the people who have died; it's purification to keep us aligned with nature and reset to zero. What if the church was also pure, free from politics and other burdens? The men of the church are only human."
Several artists on show have barely finished their education and only a handful are known on the Western gallery scene. Currently hyped are Eko Nugroho's colorful graphics on fabric and anonymous provocative figures, regulars at New York's Lombard-Freid Projects, where the artist is scheduled for a solo show in September. The show's artists were chosen the only way the curators could, in the absence of much documentation: with one artist recommending another, an organic process that permeates "Trans-Figurations." "Despite their history and the colonization, they have stayed very pure," says curator Hervé Mikaéloff, who along with Espace Culturel director Marie-Ange Moulonguet traveled to Indonesia for the discovery. "It seems there have been so many accidents of history in Indonesia that tradition and mythology have ingrained themselves into the generations. The cohabitation of the people is sometimes harmonious, sometimes not, but there is certainly a very strong identity. These artists have truly built this show with their guts."

Stop and search impact 'shameful' (From Hampshire Chronicle)

Stop and search impact 'shameful'
12:45am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The impact of stop and search powers on ethnic minority communities is "shameful" and reform is urgently needed , the shadow home secretary has said.
Labour's Yvette Cooper has called for an overhaul of stop and search powers, including a ban on targets for stop and searches being given to officers.
Ms Cooper also wants current guidance on avoiding race discrimination replaced with legislation.
Her intervention comes after claims David Cameron blocked plans drawn up by Home Secretary Theresa May to significantly curb the use of the controversial power.
In a letter to Mrs May, Ms Cooper said: " This issue is too important to be kicked into the long grass.
"It goes to the heart of people's trust in the police and the misuse of stop-search has the potential to undermine effective community policing.
"I hope that you will not give in to the Prime Minister's opposition to change.
"Everyone agrees that the police need to have powers to stop and search individuals suspected of crime or to prevent a serious threat. Intelligence-led targeting of suspected criminals helps to cut knife crime and youth killings.
"However, while targeted action helps cut crime, the reality is too many searches are not targeted at all."
She added: "We know that only a small proportion of searches lead to arrest and hundreds of thousands of searches each year currently lead to nothing but resentment.
"That resentment is creating barriers between communities and the police, particularly in the ethnic minority communities that are most affected - that's bad for innocent people regularly and unfairly stopped, bad for the police because it's an expensive waste of time, and bad for community safety because it undermines the relationships we all rely on."
Ms Cooper alludes to figures that show 27% of the 8,783 stop and search records reviewed by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary between October 2012 and April 2013 did not include sufficient grounds to justify the lawful use of the power.
And young people in ethnic minority communities are seven times more likely to be stopped, likely to feed back into negative perceptions of policing, she said.
The shadow home secretary also calls for section 60 stop and searches, which can be conducted by a police officer without suspicion. to be more tightly restricted.
A Home Office spokesman said: "Nobody should ever be stopped just on the basis of their skin colour or ethnicity.
"The Government supports the ability of police officers to stop and search suspects, but it must be applied fairly and in a way which builds community confidence.
"This is why we consulted over the summer on the powers of stop and search - and we received a strong response. We will respond to the consultation in due course."

19It's Really No Wonder That People Won't Shut Up About LeAnn Rimes' Affair
I mean, could it be because she, herself, can't shut up about it? And not only can she not shut up about it in interviews, because quite honestly, it's probably begun to perpetuate itself at this point, she can't shut up about it in her "art," either. You heard that right—LeAnn Rimes has written a song called 'Borrowed', and it's all about … well, it's about "borrowing" another woman's husband. Bazinga.
In a recent appearance with Jay Leno, LeAnn talks about one of her newer songs this year,'Borrowed', and has this to say:
"The song is about … the situation. I did go through a very public affair with Eddie, who is now my wonderful husband. The song looks into the darker moments of things. People think that it was done with complete abandonment. It wasn't. … I call myself pathetic in the song because at that moment I was pathetic."
Oh God.
She's also got a personal message for Eddie's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville, who asserts that LeAnn has drug abuse issues, and also issues with eating disoders:
"I should feel flattered that she thinks I'm so interesting that I can be a storyline in her show."
Yes, imagine that—an ongoing personal anecdote that affects a person's everyday life on a reality show. Never heard of that before, no way.
Here's LeAnn performing her single, 'Borrowed'. Can you even stand the angst emanating from girlfriend? I can't (no, I really can't).
Oh, and the lyrics in case you couldn't understand what LeAnn was saying through all those teeth. I really only posted it for you to see her exhibition of true, raw emotion, anyway:
I know you're not mine, only borrowed
Cause you already belong to her, at least you said so
But I'm starting to believe it ain't the whole truth
As we're lying side by side, I get the whole you
I wanna hold out, but gotta hold on,
Even though I know it's wrong
Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed
Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her,
The way you make love to me?
Well I keep myself alone in case you call tonight
Its pathetic how I lie around
And wait all the damn time
It's a short high and long low,
Every time you have to go
Cause I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed
Only borrowed
How much time is left and you don't return?
And you don't return?
How much time?
Oh it's no return, no return, how much time?
I know you're not mine, only borrowed
And I don't want to give you back
I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
No I don't want to give you back
You're the best I'll never have
So I don't want to give you back
But you're borrowed, only borrowed,
Cause you're borrowed

LeAnn, Brandi "thinks you are so interesting" because you take every opportunity to reopen wounds by talking about the affair, exploit her children for attention, and basically just turn, turn, turn the knife in Brandi's gut. And all of this in as public a way as possible. Your smug observations of how Brandi is behaving are especially sickening in light of the fact that you work so hard to provoke her. If you repeatedly poke anyone long enough, eventually they will slap your hand. It requires no special skill to pull that off.
You need to do a bit of Research, pufinstuf (lol … and also Learn To Spell … it's Puffinstuff). LeaAnn is a Beautiful caring Person. The Boys LOVE Her (their Bonus Mom – as she refers to it), as much as SHE Loves Them (her Bonus Sons). They are One BIG Happy Family.
"Do you tell her that you love her?
Like you do me?
Do you make love to her,
The way you make love to me?"
WOW. That's pretty disgusting to sing about… Poor Brandi
that made me feel sick
What is disturbing about Leann's interviews is how her interviewers(Leno, Katie, Guiliana) play right into her lies and never challenge what she is saying:
1) When Leann said this: "I should feel flattered that she thinks I'm so interesting that I can be a storyline in her show."
Leno should have called her out for tweeting and blogging about Brandi's kids 24/7 and making passive aggressive digs at Brandi on twitter and her blogs for 4 years now. Leann also talks about Brandi's kids in her interviews, yet Leann just can't quite understand where Brandi gets off talking about her?
Why didn't Leno call Leann out on her hypocrisy and double standards? Isn't Brandi the storyline in Leann's songs for this new album?
2) When Leann said this: "There's no reality in a reality show. There isn't."
Leno should have brought up her friendships with Giuliana Rancic, Kim K, Khloe K, and Tori Spelling who have reality tv shows. I so wish someone would ask Tori, Kim, Khole, and Guiliana what they think of their BFFs statement. Wasn't the birth of Guiliana's son real?
Didn't Leann and Eddie attend a wedding at the Kardashians, which was filmed for the show? So then is Leann saying that the wedding wasn't real?
Leann also tweeted to Kyle and Lisa, posed with Taylor, and asked Andy C to be a guest on his show. So if she hates reality tv shows so much, why would she go out of her way to associate with people from reality tv?
3) Wonderful husband?
Is that the same "wonderful husband" who made her make out with his mistress while he watched and took photos?
4) The darker moments of things?
Like when Eddie called Leann a speedbump because he had no intentions of ever leaving his marriage to Brandi? So basically she exposed her affair to force Eddie out out of his marriage to Brandi.
5) "People think that it was done with complete abandonment."
How could they think this when she has given interview after interview telling us how much thought she put into exposing her affair to US Weekly because Eddie wasn't moving out of his marriage fast enough?
she's two different shades of skin colour….
The major reason Leann is pushing the "reality tv isn't real" angle:
Scheana Marie Jancun. Scheana is one of Eddie's ex-mistresses and the woman Life and Style said Eddie was hooking up with in Oct 2009 when he was supposed to be committed to Leann. Next week, Scheana makes another appearance on RHOBH and she is also going to be featured on Lisa's V new show SUR which starts next year. Scheana is the real reason for Leann's "only one that matters" foot tattoo(she hijacked it from Scheana's 2009 interview with Access HW), which Leann got the day before Scheana made her first appearance on the 2nd season of RHOBH.
I love guest!! I love reading your posts! They are always so interesting!!
I'm with you! "Guest" is the CIA of gossip. I don't know who you are, but I like you, too! Anyway, I'm pretty fed up with Country/Western chix (i.e. Leann, Taylor, etc.) who reveal EVERYTHING except their PAP smears in their songs. TMI, bitches!!!!
I think leann rimmes is a nasty skank home wrecking slut and she is obviously a drug addict. She has the classic look of a meth user. And that song she should chock on it. It is bad enough to bang another womens man but to brag about it and rub her face in it like that. I hate to tell her you reap what you sow and if she thinks she was pathetic then he future holds nothing but pathetic everything.
Women are cheating all over the place, nowadays! (Leann Rimes/Cibrian, Coco/IceT, Kristen Stewart, Suzy Favor Hamilton the Olympian & Vegas call girl, Rita Ora/Kardashian, Petraeus women).
My latest book, "I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals the REAL reasons more and more 'happily married' women are cheating" is a powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. And the REAL reasons aren't the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist's self-help book. It's now in the top 1% of books selling on Amazon!
The book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity from the FIRST-HAND, insider experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients)! "I Steal Wives" is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships.
It's the relationship version of "How to Secure Your House, as told by a professional burglar!" This is no joke, the raw truths of "I Steal Wives" will forever change how you do relationships and understand women, especially if you are one!
Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It's selling FAST!
This girl makes me sick ! You know Eddie already cheated on her a million times and I hope the day comes when she gets out of her crazy ass fog she finds out because if she thinks she is special and he won't do it to her she's even crazier then I thought ! I can't wait for that day and I hope Brandi laughs in her face even if she has to go to the crazy hospital to do it because she deserves it because she nothing but trash !!!!!!!!
All the above are well said about Leann Rimes, she is nothing but a trash, and so low class. I am hoping the day will come to her, let her feels the same way that Brandi feels now. Just can't wait to see that day coming!!
real nice break a family and make a song about sleeping with the husband
Lean once a cheater always a cheater,
Lean and i feel sorry for u , I hope u get the same back
Fast Eddie is not enough man for LeAnn or Brandi – he has almost broken these two extraordinary ladies – cut the stupid jerk loose, he's not worth the pain. DAMN.
LeeAnn Rimes is a sleazy…nasty…diseased infected…dumpster diving…back ally whore!!! As if its not bad enough she broke the ultimate…unwritten…unspoken women's code….she also CHEATED ON HER HUSBAND!!! I can imagine what he is going through since this song has been released…men have feelings too & this B**ch is bragging about bedding another man while her husband is waiting for her trashy ass to get home….HOW LOW DOWN CAN A B**CH GET?! LEANN…LEANN….I HOPE THE CHIC WILL PLAY THIS SONG WHILE SHE IS SCREWING YOUR HUSBAND
I actually forgot how beautiful her voice is! I hope everyone involved found/finds happiness! I hate to think that she may be singing a different tune someday soon!? They say in cases like these "you will lose him the way you got him" especially when this wasnt a fluke thing -it's someone that all along has been a serial cheater..I love her voice! Hope she stays in the positive & keeps making music!
Leanne won……F@ck nasty beyotche Brandi Skanksville…Move on Brandi, you lost, stop your bitching……Your husband cheated , he's gone, get over it skank… All the people on Real Housewifes of Bev. know what a low class piece of trash you are…>

Kate Buddeke and Thomas Vincent Kelly to Star in Good People at the Alliance
By Adam Hetrick
Veteran Chicago stage actress Kate Buddeke, who appeared on Broadway in the 2003 revival of Gypsy and the 2009 premiere of Tracy Letts' Superior Donuts, will take on the role of Margie Walsh in the Alliance Theatre production of David Lindsay-Abaire's Good People.
Thomas Vincent Kelly ("24," "Criminal Minds") will portray Mike opposite Buddeke, a Jeff Award-winning Chicago native known for her work with the American Theater Company and the American Blues Theater, who has also appeared on Broadway in the 1994 revival of Carousel and the Tony Award-winning 1999 revival of Death of a Salesman.
Alliance artistic director Susan V. Booth will stage the production that will run Jan. 16-Feb. 10, 2013. An official opening has been set for Jan. 23, 2013.
The cast will also include Brenda Bynum (August: Osage County) as Dottie, Andrew Benator as Stevie, Lala Cochran as Jean and Kristen Ariza as Kate.
According to the Alliance, "Set in South Boston, 'Southie' Margie Walsh is living a pay check to pay check existence as a single mom caring for her disabled adult daughter. When Margie is fired from her job, she approaches a high school boyfriend who made it up and out and into his own medical practice for help. She soon realizes that not everyone wants to be reminded of their humble beginnings. Good People wrestles with the question of whether our lot in life is determined by choice or circumstance."
The Manhattan Theatre Club-commissioned play was praised by critics when it arrived on Broadway Feb. 8, 2011, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The Broadway cast featured Frances McDormand, who won a Tony for her performance, Tate Donovan, Estelle Parsons, Becky Ann Baker, Patrick Carroll and Renee Elise Goldsberry. Daniel Sullivan directed.

I've got a 154 in the Cubhouse that is going back together and I'm stumped. Where do you fill the hydraulic oil and how do you check the level? I've gone through the Service Manual, (both hard copy and Rudi's online manuals) I&T manual, and spent plenty of time looking it over. I can't find the dang things.
Probably making it far to complicated and will be embarrassed when one of you tell me the obvious.
This is a case of saying "Yes" to a good friend, when I should have said "No." That is one mistake I don't plan to repeat. No more numbered Lo-Boys in the Cubhouse.
Thanks for your help.

The Butts County teen accused of beating his grandmother to death with a baseball bat appeared before a judge Thursday.Even veteran prosecutors were stunned when they heard the case against 18-year-old JeNorman Bland. Butts County District Attorney Richard Milam called the case "especially horrendous and grotesque".Investigators have accused Bland of beating his 60-year-old grandmother, Glenda Woodard, to death with an aluminum baseball bat."He asked her to take him to the store. She refused because she had to go to work and the assault ended up happening," said Butts County Sheriff Gary Long.The sheriff says Bland wanted cigars. The Jackson High School senior is now being charged with Felony Murder.
Many members of his family were openly upset during Thursday's hearing. His father sat on the first row. His mother, the victim's daughter, chose not to attend."You have the family of the victim and the family of the defendant are the same people. All you can hope for is that that never happens to your family," said Butts County District Attorney Richard Milam.
Milam said the evidence against Bland is "well gathered" and includes the murder weapon. He said that cased like this are more common that one might think."A young man killing somebody that he otherwise should have loved. I'm afraid I have seen that way too many time," said Milam.For the Bland and Woodard families, the pain of this domestic murder is their reality. After court, family members said they didn't want to talk to reporters about their heartache.

Customer Testimonial
I ABSOLUTELY love your product!! I can't tell you how many people I've given your website to. Every single person who has seen the new room has commented on the ceiling and how great it looks. The color is beautiful (cafe au lait?) and I had black strapping put in, so the taupe color with the black and the pattern looks very contemporary. I'll send you pictures, and I'll definitely use your product for the next room that's under construction now.

"For those who have tended to think that Princeton has only recently put such emphasis on the creative and performing arts, it's good to be reminded that the Creative Writing Program has made such a large impact for so very long. It is, quite simply, the best in the country," said Paul Muldoon, Howard G.B. Clark '21 University Professor in the Humanities; Professor of Creative Writing, Chair of the Fund for Irish Studies and Chair of Lewis Center for the Arts.
The Creative Arts Program, the precursor of three later programs (Creative Writing, Theater and Dance, and Visual Arts) was established in 1939 under the leadership of Dean Christian Gauss, who observed that Princeton University departments at the time focused their teaching on the history and achievements of poets, writers, sculptors and artists but did little to cultivate writers and other artists. Dean Gauss approached the Carnegie Foundation to help the University address this "lack of foresight." The Foundation promptly responded with a generous five year grant of $75,000 to pay the salaries of "practionners in the arts" for several years to come. With the aid of the Carnegie grant, Dean Gauss set up the Creative Arts Program and convened a faculty committee to assist him. This Creative Arts Committee, chaired by Dean Gauss and including Professor Coindreau (French), Professors Davis and De Wald (Art), Professor Welch (Music) and Professors Hudson and Thorp, both from the English Department, established the program's mission "to allow the talented undergraduates to work in the creative arts under professional supervision while pursuing a regular liberal arts course of study, as well as to offer all interested undergraduates an opportunity to develop their creative faculties in connection with the general program of humanistic education." The Committee also set a one-year rule to limit the appointments of the Resident Fellows they would invite to campus.
In 1939 Professor Willard Thorp nominated poet and critic Allen Tate as the first Resident Fellow in Creative Writing. Tate signed a letter of acceptance on April 17, 1939 and began teaching the following September. According to the Princeton University Catalogue in 1939-1940, Tate was to "act as general adviser to undergraduates interested in writing and will be in general charge of the new plan designed to further the work of entering freshman in creative writing." The following year, the Creative Arts Committee broke its one-year rule and appointed Tate for a second year and allowed him to invite poet and critic Richard P. Blackmur to assist him. The Committee broke their one-year rule again and gave Tate a third year (1941-42) but for 1942-43 the Committee resumed its original plan and appointed George Stewart, Princeton class of 1917, as Resident Fellow. Over the course of nearly 20 years that followed, under the Committee Chairman Professor Arthur Szathmary and the Program Director R. P. Blackmur, a succession of poets, writers and critics taught in the program. Among these were John Berryman, Joseph N. Frank, Delmore Schwartz, William Meredith, Robert Fitzgerald, Sean O'Faolain, Richard Eberhart, Kingsley Amis and Philip Roth.
The Creative Arts Program went through a series of evolutions, most notable of which occurred under the leadership of Edmund Keeley, who held the directorships as the program changed its name from the Creative Arts Program (1966 to 1971), to the Creative Writing Program and Theatre Program (1971 to 1973), and finally to the Creating Writing Program (1978 to 1981), the name by which it is still known today. So far, Professor Keeley has directed the Creative Writing Program for the longest period of time.
Theodore Weiss joined Keeley in 1966 and together, over the next two decades, the two men did much to expand the program, bringing in such distinguished writers as Elizabeth Bowen, Thomas Gunn, Anthony Burgess, Galway Kinnell, Joyce Carol Oates and Russell Banks.
Professor Keeley was responsible for changing the format of creative writing courses from precepts, with students meeting individually with their adviser once a week to discuss their writing, to the current workshop format, where the focus is on students sharing their work with other students under the guidance of faculty, supplemented with readings in literature and individual conferences. Professor Keeley introduced the workshop format on the basis of his experience during a sabbatical year at the Iowa Writers Workshop, one of the earliest creative writing programs in the country.
"The Creative Writing Program, as I initially understood it, was primarily to teach students how to read as a writer might read and to begin writing with knowledge of the creative process. For many students taking creative writing courses at Princeton was also how they first discovered literature, or at least a passion for literature," said Edmund Keeley, the Charles Barnwell Straut Class of 1923 Professor of English Emeritus and Professor Creative Writing, Emeritus.
It was also during Keeley's leadership that the program moved to its current location, the former Nassau Street School at 185 Nassau Street. There the program expanded with the rapid growth of student interest in the creative arts in the early seventies and by 1975 there were three separate programs in Creative Writing, Theater and Dance and Visual Arts. In 2006 those programs were united under the University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts which subsequently was named the Lewis Center for the Arts in November 2007 following the University's single largest gift ever from Peter B. Lewis '55. Pulitzer-prize winning poet Paul Muldoon is the founding chair of the Center.
Edmund Keeley was succeeded as director by James Richardson (1981 to 1990), whose period as director saw the arrival of Toni Morrison and Paul Muldoon. Following Richardson, the program was briefly directed by A. Walton Litz (1990 to 1992), and then subsequently by Paul Muldoon (1993 to 2002), Edmund White (2002 to 2006), Chang-rae Lee (2006 to 2010) and Susan Wheeler (2011 to present).
Princeton University undergraduates continue to have the unique opportunity to pursue original work in fiction, poetry and translation under the guidance of practicing writers in the creative writing faculty, many of whom hold the country's most prestigious literary honors and awards. The Creative Writing faculty include: Jeffrey Eugenides, Chang-rae Lee, Paul Muldoon, Joyce Carol Oates, James Richardson, Tracy Smith, Susan Wheeler, Edmund White and C.K. Williams. Small workshop courses, averaging eight to ten students, provide intensive feedback and instruction for both beginners and advanced writers, and each year 15-20 seniors work individually with a member of the faculty on a creative thesis: a novel or a collection of short stories, poems, or translations.
"People often say that if we offered a Masters of Fine Arts our program would be the most celebrated one in the world, given the renown and talent of our teaching team. In the true tradition of Princeton's dedication to undergraduate education we are able to lavish on our students the acquired experience and talent of our extraordinary writer-professors," commented Edmund White.
Novelist and program chair Chang-rae Lee commented, "A wonderful development in the program in recent years is that we've been able to accept more students than ever before; in the past we couldn't accept every qualified student -- even for our introductory-level classes -- as we simply had many more applications than spots. But with the addition of both permanent and adjunct faculty, we've increased the number of workshops we offer, and we're pleased that now many more underclassmen have the chance to work with our great roster of writers."

12 Investigates has uncovered more problems with Richmond's Department of Social Services in the heartbreaking stories of four babies, who've died in the city in just the last few months. Their families all had prior contact with Child Protective Services.
Social workers reached out because they say the situation for Richmond's children has gotten so bad and so dangerous. Those with decade's worth of experience tell us four deaths in this short period of time is too many and outside of the norm.
Since, these four lives taken far too soon involved families already on the system's radar, the state is investigating each one of them.
A tragic scene we told you about this past June had people wondering what went wrong. A mother was pulled off the roof of her burning Church Hill home, while her 18-month-old son was inside. Both later died. At the time, neighbors told us Ava Marcus had been acting erratically. Now, sources say Marcus had mental health issues and her case was referred to Child Protective Services, but nothing was ever done.
Then in November, one of a set of twins was found dead. Originally, investigators believed this was simply a co-sleeping death, but after further examination, sources tell NBC12 the mother acknowledged giving the child over-the-counter medications so she could have some peace. We're told CPS had already been involved in that home because of the poor living conditions. After the child's death, the other children were removed from the home, according to those familiar with the situation.
Three weeks later, children were removed from a different home after another baby died. The mother had a history with CPS and wasn't supposed to be unsupervised with her children, according to insiders, but, she walked to the hospital with the baby dead in a stroller.
After those two, the man brought in to clean up DSS says the agency looked into the circumstances.
"What lessons did we learn," Stephen Harms said they asked. "Are there key indicators that could help us better pinpoint where a serious injury or death could occur?"
But still, another tragedy struck less than two weeks ago. We're told the family had previous contact with the system, but at this point, they don't know the circumstances behind that child's death.
The state is in the process of evaluating these cases to see what was done and if there are issues that need to be addressed within the city agency. No word on when the assessments will be complete.
Harms said the agency is putting together revised procedures that they will consider using to better screen situations. The current program manager, who was investigated in the scathing DSS audit NBC12 was first to tell you about, is helping draft those standards.
