Stopped for Pennsylvania DUI: They Didn't Read My Rights
Lately, I have been asked this question quite frequently: "I was arrested for a DUI in Pennsylvania and they didn't read me my rights. Don't they have to read me my rights?" This question is particularly interesting in a DUI context. Before we can understand whether or not we must be read our rights during a DUI stop we must understand some Miranda basics.
The reading of Miranda rights or "the right to remain silent and the right to counsel" protect citizens against your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and your Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel under the United States Constitution The purpose of Miranda is to protect citizens from incriminating themselves as a result of police interrogation. In other words, it keeps people from giving the police a coerced confession under police interrogation. In order for Miranda to apply, three elements must be met that will trigger the reading of your Miranda rights: 1) you must be in custody; 2) you must be interrogated and 3) the interrogation must be performed by police or an agent of the state.
In a DUI context, a traffic stop typically does not consitute custodial interrogation for purposes of Miranda. In other words, a traffic stop is not an arrest. Under Pennsylvania law and the laws of the United States Constitution a DUI stop is typically considered an investigative detention. This means when you are pulled over for suspicion of DUI, the police may ask you whatever they want without reading you rights. They may even ask you to step out of the vehicle and ask you to perform sobriety tests. If you think about it, it makes sense. Think of it this way: "the police are allowed to talk to people without reading them rights as long as the citizen is not under arrest." However, an investigative detention may elevate to a custodial detention if the police officer's behavior becomes coercive, threatening, or forceful or detains you for a too long a period of time.
If you are pulled over and a potential DUI defendant, this is where you have to be smart and live by this rule. NEVER TALK TO POLICE AND BE A WITNESS AGAINST YOURSELF. Simply decline any conversation with the police and decline sobriety testing.

False Positive Pregnancy Test
False Positive Pregnancy Test
Although rare, false positive pregnancy tests happen to some women. The feeling can leave a woman sad if she was expecting, and relieved if she wasn't. False positive test results can happen for various reasons, as each test looks for the levels of hCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in a woman's urine or blood. When a woman is pregnant, hCG is produced by the developing baby's placenta. Usually, a woman who's not pregnant won't make any hCG. Blood tests can detect lower levels of hCG, so that's why it's encouraged a woman sees her health care professional to have this type of pregnancy test done, especially if at-home tests are yielding false positive results. So the question remains, why do pregnancy tests give false positive results?
Causes of a False Positive Pregnancy Test
There are many different reasons why a pregnancy test would yield false positive results. One of the most common reasons why at-home urine tests give false positives is that they were not done properly or the instructions were misunderstood. Certain prescription drugs, including ones a woman is taking for fertility issues such as when trying to fix a Luteal phase defect, can alter results and give false positives. These drugs include:
- hCG Therapy
- Phenothiazine
- Anticonvulsants
- Anti-Parkinson's medicines
- Some tranquilizers
- Some diuretics
- Promethazine
Another reason for false positive test results is the possibility of impurities in the urine sample. This could be caused by soap or detergent, blood, etc. Soap and detergent usually come from women who wash the cup that comes in her kit. If you do wash the cup, it's crucial you remove all soap or detergent before testing. It's also important to know that these cups are generally sterile and don't necessarily need to be washed before using. If blood is found in the urine, it doesn't always mean it's due to ones menstrual cycle. Women urinate blood for many reasons such as kidney disease or bladder infections. When this happens, it's possible that the test will yield false positive test results.
Unfortunately, false positive pregnancy test results can also be due to what is called a trophoblastic tumor. Trophoblastic tumors form when something goes wrong with the fertilization of an egg by the sperm. And instead of growing into a baby, the egg grows abnormally and becomes a tumor. This type of tumor is not normal, averaging only 3,000 cases per year in the United States, however when this does happen, the test results give false positives because the tumors that are developed in the reproductive tract produce hCG.
What Do You Do if False Positives Results Happen?
Most experts will recommend taking two tests, both different brands to get more accurate results. Another option is to make an appointment with your health care provider and get a blood pregnancy test done. The important thing to remember is that false positive pregnancy test results are generally rare. If directions are followed correctly on the at-home urine tests, they are said to be 99% effective. But you must follow all directions promptly, including waiting time to check results. Also, performing the test in the morning, using your mornings first urine gives the best levels of hCG. There's really nothing more you can do if you've received false positive results, other than retest or wait it out.

Zimbabwe is becoming a hot safari destination again. Its praise is deserved because "Zim" is home to some of Africa's best guides, most amazing landscapes and some surprising history. This rough planning guide explores the breadth of Zimbabwe's historical and native wonders.
The Serengeti is synonymous with the wildebeest migration. Most travellers try to be in the right part of the massive Serengeti plains at the right time of year to catch the migration. Which usually means that people tick the Serengeti off their list having seen only one end of these mighty plains. We've got a better idea.
Is Africa the right place for a family holiday? Listening to the adventures of Michele, David, Emma and Coco, you'd have to say the answer is yes. Michele called me almost as soon as they arrived home from their 2-week African journey, filled with excitement and stories. She agreed to share some of the family's tales and a few of their over 2,000 photos!

Tales from an American Expat living in London. Dealing with the loss of a child is never easy, but it's even more difficult when you live so far from home. Life will never be "normal" again and so now the challenge is to find my new normal. In 2011 we decided to try for another baby using an anonymous egg donor. After a fearful pregnancy we were blessed with our rainbow baby "Frostina" in June of 2012. I am currently pregnant with "Olea". We anxiously anticipate her arrival in July of 2014.

Jack Clark discusses the team's experiences with the Varsity Cup and the PAC Rugby Conference. He also looks ahead to what the future should hold for both leagues.
The Colts will assuredly take a CB at some point in the draft. Here's a late rounder that flew a bit under the radar that could help on the outside.
Cal cornerback Steve Williams posted the fastest unofficial 40-yard dash time of the 2013 NFL Combine on Tuesday, running the drill in 4.25 seconds.
The electronically timed record of 4.24 seconds from Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans will be a tough mark to best.
After a great 2012 campaign, cornerback Steve Williams elected not to return to Cal and has declared for the NFL Draft. The Bears will be starting two new cornerbacks in 2013.
It was Steve Williams' island Saturday night. The junior cornerback totaled four pass break ups and an interception against the Wazzu air raid attack, earning him Defensive Player of the Week honors.
The Cal Golden Bears feature a good defense again, and they are equipped with a talented secondary. (Charts and gifs inside!)

Like Fan Bingbing on Wednesday, Cheryl Cole broke a long standing Cannes Film Festival tradition this evening at the 'Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)' premiere.
The UK star, who usually only makes one appearance during this festival, opted not to wear Stéphane Rolland as expected; instead she wore a Zuhair Murad Fall 2013 gown.
Honestly, I'm not that surprised considering I failed to picture any of the looks from the recent Stéphane Rolland Spring 2013 Couture working for the petite singer.
This rich maroon sheer long-sleeve gown with beaded embellishments is more fitting to her Cannes glam style, with a sexy bouffant with a loose braid completing her look.
Last year the L'Oreal girls worked bold colours on the red carpet, however, this year it appears to be all about a more natural look.
Did Cheryl make the right gown choice?

Oh the joys of doing alpine photo shoots in winter! We were very excited to be based in Wanaka, New Zealand for our 2010 photo shoot. Even in the pouring rain and snow there is something about being surround by the purity of the alpine environment that inspires you to connect with nature.
However it does not make for great photo's! But mother nature did indeed smile upon us, for the next morning we woke at dawn to a beautiful crisp winters day and the 2010 Comvita® shoot was all go.
For the next three days we drove, hiked, and flew to some of the most inspiring and beautiful locations in New Zealand. Our model, photographer and support team braved some very cold water and long days, but I certainly was not complaining. Being in those amazing outdoors, nature blasted the senses and time seemed diminished.
You might ask what has natural health got to do with beautiful lakes and mountains? It's all about nature. At Comvita® we understand how science can release the power of nature to help protect, balance and rejuvenate you. We went to Wanaka seeking to capture some of that natural power in our images, I can't wait to see the results.
Until they are out, here is a glimpse of the team hard at work during our trip. Cheers, Dave Bathgate - Brand & Design.

Asthma, like many chronic diseases, can adversely affect your sex life. But there are ways to cope with it and lessen its effects.
For an increasing number of Americans, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness make breathing an everyday challenge. Millions suffer from asthma, a chronic lung disease with sudden, acute episodes that can limit their ability to climb stairs, work, exercise, and experience sexual satisfaction.
In a study conducted by New York's Harlem Hospital Center and Columbia University's Joseph L. Mailman School of Public Health, two-thirds of the patients studied said they experienced sexual limitations related to their asthma, says Ilan H. Meyer, PhD, the lead researcher.
Researchers questioned 353 emergency room patients about the degree to which they had been limited by their asthma in "having sex" during the two weeks prior to the interview. About 19% percent had skipped sex altogether and 47% said they had some degree of or total limitation. Only 34% reported having no asthma-related sexual difficulties.

Factors that increased a patient's likelihood of decreased sexual satisfaction included age, depression, lower income, more severe asthma, and more household exposures to mold and mice. However, the study found no difference between men and women.

Few expected the Kansas City Chiefs to battling for the top spot in the AFC West this week at home against the San Diego Chargers. Todd Haley's team lost their first three games of the season, and looked positively demoralized after losing both running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry. They won their next three games, and now sit one game back from San Diego in the division.
The Chargers are off to a 4-2 start, a rarity in the Norv Turner era. They lost last week to the Jets, and the schedule gets tougher with games against Green Bay and Oakland after this week.
San Diego is favored by 3 1/2 points over Kansas City. That's where the line has been all week. The Chiefs are 4-2 against the spread, and that number flips to 2-4 for the Chargers this season. The over/under for this game is 44.

Mark Webber also directs and writes the film which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. The organization operates on the concept of inviting , public figures, policy makers, and the common public to save the arts in America's public schools, as stated on organizations site. This wallet has modified all that, I need to have only my cards most implemented and I have a wallet now modest adequate to take care of just these. I believe that this movie is a film about two ladies who join collectively against a broken system to guard and help children. We would like to wish young Christa all the most effective with her treatment.
We purchased two of them and have been rather happy with each and every. For those of us who attempt to comply with in his footsteps, we carry on his legacy of compassion for other people and his tremendous adore, respect and passion for this sector and its background. Google Bacon Number doesn t acknowledge that Kevin Bacon is connected to either. It holds a ton of stuff in the inside, but has several pockets to hold items organized. My laptop is more substantial than most and it is been tough to get a bag that it will fit in. The event will be held at Faith Evangelical Free Church, 250 Kennedy Memorial Drive, Waterville.
Because airlines have decreased the carry-on bag size, it makes a good bag for a trip . Unfortunately for Chas, Diane overhears what she says and is furious, telling a devastated Chas that once the wedding is over, she wants her out of the pub. When it comes out in purple, I will buy a further and give this one particular to my daughter. This is a amazing item that assists lower a lot of the strain of air travel at this time. I really like that my laptop or computer is now protected from dings and scratches. TOOK IT TO ITALY ON AN AMALFI COAST CRUISE AND IT LOOKED SO Good WITH ALL OF MY OUTFITS!
The bag is hefty, even when empty, so I will not be working with it as a backpack extremely typically. The fact that it functions a man performing oral sex on a lady is an fascinating contrast in a genre that typically featuressexualityfrom the maleperspective. This portfolio was a gift for my niece who is a college student. The present resident of New Orleans beat out 11 other contestants for the grand prize of $500,000. Word is that you re retiring just after this series, which you pointed out throughout the current Television Critics Association panel .
This is the first wallet I have purchased in 8 years and I am highly glad I did. As stated on the webpage, this backpack will not accomodate a 17 inch laptop, at least not the recent Apple powerbook, even with the reduced laptop compartment padding removed.

Police net ammo in Westmoreland raid
SAVANNA-LA-MAR, Westmoreland — More than 300 assorted rounds of ammunition, mostly used in high-powered rifles, were recovered by the Westmoreland police Thursday as they stepped up operation to curtail major crimes in Jamaica's westernmost parish.
According to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Winston Milton, who is in charge of operations in the Westmoreland Division, the ammunition and one AK47 magazine were found in a black plastic bag hidden under thrash at an abandoned premises in an area called Gully Bank.
"Over the last couple of weeks, the Westmoreland police have intensified its operations in the division in a bid to reduce the frequency of major crimes and to further disrupt the activity of some major gangs operating in the division," DSP Milton told the Jamaica Observer.
The ammunition recovered include 103 7.62 mm cartridges used in AK 47 rifles; 39 5.56mm cartridges used in M16 rifles; 168 .22 cartridges and three
.38 cartridges.
No one was arrested in connection with the find.
However, DSP Milton pledged to sustain
the campaign.
"We will continue on this operation with an aim of reducing the figures of major crime in the parish," DSP Milton promised.
Meanwhile, the Westmoreland police have arrested and charged a man with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition following Tuesday's recovery of a handgun in Grove Land in the parish.
However, the police have refused to disclose his identity saying that he might be required to face an identification parade as investigations continue.
Reports are that the police recovered a Heckle and Koch 9mm pistol with serial number 4049643. The weapon was loaded with a magazine containing eight 9mm cartridges in an abandoned building.
The police believe that the gun was used in the shooting and injuring of a 20-year-old labourer in the Grove Land community on Monday night.
The Westmoreland police have recovered 25 illegal firearms since the start of the year.

Climate Sleuths
Berkeley Lab scientists and state-of-the-art computing resources located at Berkeley Lab have helped to pioneer our understanding of global climate and the impacts of climate change.
Building on these successes, Lab scientists are now developing powerful climate models that will forecast climate change's impact on ecosystems and human health and well-being around the world. The models will also project how various carbon-cutting strategies could curb global warming.
Here are some of Berkeley Lab's recent highlights:
Understanding global climate by reconstructing the past
One of the deadliest snowstorms in U.S. history was the Knickerbocker Storm, a slow-moving blizzard that occurred in 1922 in the upper South and Middle Atlantic states.
Gil Compo, a climate researcher at the University of Colorado at Boulder and NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, recently used the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) supercomputers at Berkeley Lab to recreate this storm, as well as the 1930s Dust Bowl and a 1938 hurricane that struck the East Coast.
NERSC is the flagship high performance scientific computing facility for research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. It is located at Berkeley Lab and is a world leader in providing resources and services that accelerate scientific discovery through computation.
Compo is leading a project to reconstruct global weather conditions in six-hour intervals from 1871 to the present. Called the 20th Century Reanalysis Project, these weather reconstructions will help researchers forecast weather trends of the next century by assessing how well computational tools used in projections can successfully recreate the conditions of the past.
This movie is a 20th Century Reanalysis Project reanalysis of a 1938 Hurricane, based on archived meteorological data. With data like this available for the entire 20th century, climate researchers hope to improve their models so that they can more confidently predict regional weather trends for the future.
This image, developed at NERSC, is a snapshot of the Earth's surface temperature. It was generated to aid in testing and development of the global cloud-resolving model.
Look to the clouds
In order to understand climate, scientists must understand how clouds behave and how they influence the atmosphere on a global scale — which is one of the great unknowns in climate science.
That could change. Scientists are developing a global cloud-resolving model, which is intended to simulate the motions of the atmosphere from a single thunderstorm to the entire planet. The project is part of DOE's Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program and is led by David Randall, an atmospheric scientist at Colorado State University.
The model essentially blankets the Earth with a geodesic grid that consists of about 100 million hexagonal columns. Each of the grid cells encompass wind, temperature and humidity at points just 4 kilometers apart or even smaller, which is a resolution far higher than current models. The team recently tested the model using NERSC systems.
Ocean circulations and greenhouse gases
This image comes from a computer simulation modeling eddies in the ocean. An interesting feature is the abundance of eddies away from the equator, which is shown in the center of the image. This image comes from a research collaboration that performed over 15,000 years worth of deep ocean circulation simulations with 1.6 million processor core hours on the upgraded Franklin system.
Another project led by Paola Cessi of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography performed over 15,000 years worth of deep ocean circulation simulations on Franklin –- NERSC's Cray supercomputer named in honor of Benjamin Franklin.
Insights from these experiments will give researchers a better understanding of how oceans circulate and how changes in the atmosphere affect these processes.
Cessi's project used Franklin to simulate how oceanic flows, which are driven by surface winds and differences in solar heating, bring heat from the deep ocean to the surface. Since oceans are the biggest repositories of carbon dioxide on the planet, this research could also provide valuable insights about how oceans cycle greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and across the globe.
Precipitation map developed by Berkeley Lab's Michael Wehner shows, among other things, a substantial reduction in springtime rains in California, and summertime rains in the Pacific Northwest.
Southwestern U.S. projected to get hotter
Climate change impacts on the southwestern U.S. are projected to include decreased rainfall and runoff, more drought and wildfire, and more days hotter than 100°F, according to a major report released this summer by the multi-agency U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Two Berkeley Lab researchers, Evan Mills and Michael Wehner, contributed to the report, which analyzes the effects of climate change on all regions of the U.S.
Wehner, who is a climate researcher in Berkeley Lab's Computational Research Division, developed projections of future climate change for the report chapters covering global and national impacts of climate change. One of his research interests is extreme weather conditions resulting from climate change.
In addition to the precipitation map below, Wehner developed projections of the global mean surface air temperature, which is an indicator of the magnitude of the effects of global climate change. His projections are based on the most sophisticated climate models available.

A Pennsylvania National Guard soldier is sharing her incredible story of giving this Veterans Day. She says her journey began when she returned from her first deployment to Iraq.
"It seemed to be Vietnam veterans really welcomed us home with open arms," she said. "I had a couple of them tell me they're doing this because when they came home, they weren't welcomed home in the same way and they wanted to make sure that never happens to another soldier again. That really touched me. That really meant something to me. It wasn't just one man that did this."
We're not identifying the 36-year-old by name because she doesn't want thanks or accolades for what she's giving: a massive portion of liver to a dying Vietnam veteran three states away.
"I wanted to do something really special for at least one of them; if not all of them, at least one of them," she said. "You know, you would take a bullet for the man next to you in a war zone. Well, what would you do for them when you came home?"
She's keeping the donation anonymous, writing the Connecticut veteran a letter with no signature. She says she wanted him to know why she's doing this, without expecting anything in return.
"I'd rather him just know that somebody is thankful, and it could be anybody, and someone is thankful for his service and welcomes him home," she said.
Her message to anyone who hears her story is simple: thank a veteran whenever you can.
"I recognize that what I'm doing is kind of a big thing. It's sort of a bigger deal that not everyone could do this sort of thing," she said. "But everybody can do something to thank any kind of veteran that they know and it would be appreciated."
Megan Healey has been documenting the donor's journey over the last three months. Coming up on Tuesday at 5:00 and 7:00, abc27 follows her to Connecticut, where a specialized surgeon agreed to do the "altruistic" liver transplant, which is rare in the medical community.

Progressive Animal Wellness has taken in a brown and grey tabby with white paws that has been wandering around the parking lot on and off for a couple months.
The male cat is about two to three years old. Jennifer Allaire Shagensky of PAW posted a notice on the veterinarian's Facebook page in hopes to reunite the cat with his owner.
"This sweet boy has been seen wandering our parking lot quite frequently of late," Shagensky wrote on Facebook. "We thought he was a stray so we nabbed him to give him a quick check up."
The cat has since been neutered, is FIV/Felv negative and is flea free, according to the Facebook post.
Is this your cat? Contact PAW (860) 325-2124 if he's yours.

Toxic chemicals in our waterways endanger wildlife and public health, causing problems ranging from reduced growth and fertility to cancer and death. Humans, birds of prey and other animals high on the food chain are most at risk of certain bio-accumulating toxins such as heavy metals. Other toxics can wipe out the tiny organisms that form the base of the food chain.
Toxic chemicals can re-enter our waterways when they are disturbed by storms or activities that shift the sediments. Once in the water, toxic chemicals are assimilated into the living organisms in our waterways. Although toxic releases have been greatly reduced in recent years, egregious violations of government safety standards still exist.
CFE/Save the Sound attorneys fight to protect our water by filing suit against companies who are found to be in violation of their discharge permits.
In 2009, CFE/Save the Sound successfully challenged five Connecticut companies under the federal Clean Water Act for chronically discharging toxic chemicals, like heavy metals and cyanide, into our rivers for years. After being threatened with lawsuits by CFE/Save the Sound, four of the companies, Electric Boat (Groton), Whyco Finishing Technologies (Thomaston), Allegheny Ludlum (Wallingford), and Cytec Industries (Wallingford), agreed to end their discharges and pay more than $3 million in penalties directed towards water improvements. The fifth company, Atlantic Wire (Branford), closed its doors and admitted criminal liability.
At the time, then Attorney General Richard Blumenthal called these "the most important combined [enforcement] result in recent years, perhaps decades."

I have repeatedly tried to recover your travel pay for I know you need it to pay for your gas, food and caregivers. Our senators and congressmen have advised me they need letters from you also, not just me. They all have sent me privacy forms for you to fill out, for they say if they have numbers they can better do something to recover your travel pay.
All of you disabled veterans, veterans and citizens of Indiana, please help the disabled veterans recover this entitlement they earned. Call me at 295-2224 and I will gladly mail you the forms to send to the representative of your choice. I can give you a little advice on what to say. Just a few words is all you/we need to write, not a full letter. Or write me at 13492 Mount Calvary Road, Loogootee, IN 47553 for forms.

Aside from dissertation writing, January has been pretty low key with a touch of travel and an abundance of hearty meals. Sigh. Here's a Thursday 13 snapshot...
1. The coolest Christmas present!
|So rarely does a beef recipe turn out exactly as I imagined it should. Wine-braised short ribs over creamy gorgonzola polenta... I die.
|Things that sound too good to be true, like "baked" mozzarella sticks, usually are, just FYI. Boo!
|I must admit, I was skeptical about Southwest's new "green" jets that squeeze in several extra rows. But I found the 700 series surprisingly comfortable. Not sure I like the drop-down style baggage doors though.
|Gorgeous vistas- The only good thing about pre-dawn flying.
|In case you wonder...
|Puppy power!

Brick by brick, we're tearing down the big state
Last year, in these pages, I set out my vision for improving the quality of our public services. It's simple. I want us to end once and for all the closed state monopoly where central government decides what you get, and how you get it. In its place, I want truly open public services, where people can choose the hospitals and schools they go to, with the right information at their fingertips to make that choice; where different providers, from the private and voluntary sectors, can come in and offer new services that people can access free; where funding is directed to helping the most disadvantaged; and where these services are truly accountable to local people, not to politicians or bureaucrats in Whitehall.
Our public servants work incredibly hard, and yet not enough people get the great service they have paid for and have a right to expect. I want to bring to everyone the choice and standards that the best provide. That means not just a change in structures but a genuine culture shift that changes the attitude of public service providers to make them more responsive to users, and makes users feel truly empowered.
The Conservative Party can save Cameron, but only if he lets it
For many governments there comes a desperately sad moment after which nothing is ever quite the same again, when trust and confidence evaporates and all that remains is a long battle of attrition.
For Harold Wilson, that moment struck with the devaluation crisis of 1967; for John Major, it was Black Wednesday in 1992. Tony Blair's came with the realisation that Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction and that his casus belli for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a lie.
There is now a strong possibility that historians will identify the events of the past two weeks – the lethal combination of George Osborne's shambolic Budget with the shocking revelation that access to the Prime Minister and government policy is up for sale – as the climacteric of the Cameron/Clegg Coalition.
There are already signs of a shift in the political landscape, just as there were after the events of 1992 and 2003. David Cameron's claim that his Government represents the interests of Britain as a whole, so movingly articulated in the early days, now feels baseless and cynical, replaced by the growing perception that he represents nothing more than a tiny coterie of rich and privileged men. Meanwhile, Labour has started to show clear gains in the polls.
Israel, Palestine and the anti-Semitism of the Left
Nick Cohen has a characteristically good article on "anti-Semitism of the Left" in the April edition of Standpoint. The argument he advances is a fair one. Anti-Semitism has been found across the political spectrum. In Britain the anti-Semitism of the Left was often directed at bankers and financiers. This was the anti-Semitism of Belloc and Chesterton.
But there was also an anti-Semitism of the generally decent liberal elite. In the introduction to Harold Nicolson's Diaries and Letters (utterly addictive – I go back to them time and again), his son Nigel, wrote that his father "knew that he belonged to an elite, an elite more of intelligence and achievement than of birth, and he tended to feel that people outside that elite had something wrong with them: Business-men, for example, the humbler type of schoolmaster or clergyman, most women, actors, most Americans, Jews, all coloured or Levantine peoples, and the great mass of the middle and working classes."
A double-dip recession would expose how badly Plan A has failed
That's the news from the OECD, anyway. They've published their estimate of how much the British economy grew by in the first quarter of this year, and, well, it didn't grow at all. It shrank. If their estimates are confirmed when the Office for National Statistics publishes its own first estimate next month, then we will officially have entered a double-dip recession. And to think that, just a few weeks ago, there were whispers about "green shoots".
This is bad news for George Osborne's reelection strategy. The Coalition's plan called for austerity now, and the nation was fully prepared for two or three years of falling incomes. But this will make it clear what we were told in the Autumn statement: we face perhaps another four or five years of pain. In the entire time since the Chancellor came to No 10 in the spring of 2010, the economy has grown by a total of about 0.6 per cent of GDP. That's less than it grew in the last quarter of Alistair Darling's time in No 11.
David Cameron needs more ministers who speak like everyday Britain
The conversation among Conservatives this morning is about the communications disaster that has gripped Downing Street. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. There is talk of this being the moment when David Cameron kissed goodbye to winning the next election. The dire headlines have got Tory MPs rattled, but it is the performances on their own side that cause them particular anguish. They want a promise that Francis Maude won't be allowed anywhere near a television camera again – "managerial genius, but keep him back stage," they say. They wish Mr Cameron would stop trying to pretend he isn't a county gent with a fondness for toff sports, arguing – probably rightly – that voters prefer politicians who are what they are. They would like to see a few more people around the top duo who know what it's like to clean toilets, to balance out the Rupert/Danny/Matthew metropolitan brain boxes. But what they really want is more Mike Penning.
Britain's cheapest house sold for 'bargain' £8250
Bidding started at a paltry £1 for the dilapidated two-bedroom terrace in Ferryhill Station, Co Durham, a former mining village.
But the house, which has been empty for at least 10 years, does require some renovating.
All of the windows are boarded up and vandals have sprayed graffiti on the walls. The interior is just as bad, with no ceilings or a kitchen leading neighbours to describe it simply as a "shell".
Meanwhile, a nearby train line just 100 yards away makes so much noise it causes ornaments to rattle off the mantelpiece.
But property experts say the young family which snapped it up, could make a handsome profit if they decide to do it up and sell.

Louvre uncovers restoration of Leonardo da Vinci's last work Saint Anne
The 18-month-long restoration of the painting that Leonardo laboured on for 20 years until his death in 1519 will go a long way to raising "Saint Anne" to its place as one of the most influential Florentine paintings of its time and a step towards the high Renaissance of Michelangelo.
The cleaning has endowed the painting portraying the Virgin Mary with her mother Saint Anne and the infant Jesus with new life and luminosity. Dull, faded hues were transformed into vivid browns and lapis lazuli that had visitors awestruck.
"It's unbelievable, so beautiful. Now you have that same feeling as when you enter Michelangelo's restored Sistine Chapel. Look at the blue!" one visitor, Odile Celier, 66, said on Wednesday.
The exhibit brings together some 130 preparatory drawings and studies by Leonardo and his apprentices – something curator Vincent Delieuvin likened to "a police investigation" – tracing the painting's conception and revealing to experts today the entire development over the last 20 years of Leonardo's life.
Fuel strike: Tories send out former fireman MP to douse flames of petrol panic
Mr Penning did a round of broadcast interviews in which he explained that his senior colleague had made a mistake yesterday in advising people how to prepare for a possible strike by tanker drivers.
The shift from Mr Maude – the Cabinet Office minister responsible for civil contingencies – to Mr Penning as the Government's principal spokesman on the strike marks a clear change in tone and style.
Sales of petrol and diesel increased dramatically as motorists flocked to garages to fill up following controversial advice from the Government ahead of a possible strike by fuel tanker drivers.
Petrol sales shot up by 81 per cent and diesel by 43 per cent, according to the Petrol Retailers Association, which represents around 5,500 garages across the UK.
A spokesman blamed advice from the Government on keeping tanks topped up, including the much-criticised call by Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude to fill up jerry cans.
UK is back in recession, says OECD
In a major blow for the Chancellor, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has calculated that the UK economy shrank in the first three months of the year.
Over the January to March period, economic output fell compared to the previous quarter, at an annual rate of -0.4pc, the Paris-based think-tank believes. That would imply quarter-on-quarter growth of -0.1pc.
After three months of negative growth at the end of last year, that figure would signal that the UK has double-dipped back into a recession.
The analysis, contained within the OECD's interim economic assessment, will pile pressure on George Osborne after official figures on Wednesday slashed the UK economy's growth profile over 2011.

Health Day - ONLINE EDITION
Cataract Surgery Tied to Lower Death Risk for Patients With Vision Loss
Reasons for association aren't clear, study author says
FRIDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Beside enjoying better eyesight, people who undergo cataract surgery may see another advantage: Those with cataract-related vision loss who have surgery to improve their sight have a lower risk of death than those who don't, a new study suggests.
Researchers looked at 354 people, 49 and older, in Australia with cataract-related vision loss who underwent an initial assessment between 1992 and 2007 and had follow-up visits five and 10 years after the first exam.
Those who'd had cataract surgery had a 40 percent lower long-term risk of death than those who did not have surgery, according to the study published in the September issue of the journal Ophthalmology.
Previous studies have suggested that older people with cataract-related vision loss had a higher risk of death than people the same age with normal vision, and that cataract surgery might reduce this risk.
"Our finding complements the previously documented associations between visual impairment and increased mortality among older persons," study co-leader Jie Jin Wang, of the Westmead Millennium Institute, said in a journal news release. "It suggests to ophthalmologists that correcting cataract patients' visual impairment in their daily practice results in improved outcomes beyond that of the eye and vision, and has important impacts on general health."
The reasons why cataract surgery may reduce death risk aren't clear, but may be due to factors such as better physical and emotional well-being, an improved ability to comply with prescription medications and greater confidence associated with independent living.
While the study found an association between having cataract surgery and lower death risk for those with cataract-related vision loss, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
Wang noted that some people may have had other health problems that prevented them from having cataract surgery and these other health problems could explain why people who did not have cataract surgery had a higher death risk.
Cataract is a leading cause of visual loss and affects more than half of Americans by the time they are 80 years old, according to the news release.

The U.S. National Eye Institute has more about cataract.

Just a 3 minute walk to the town square, Gable Cottage is in the ideal place from which to explore the history, the outstanding pubs and restaurants, the antique shops and the quality shopping that Stow has to offer.
Many iconic Cotswold villages such as Bourton on the Water, the Slaughters or Moreton in Marsh are less than 10 minutes drive.
Further afield Stratford upon Avon, Blenheim Palace and Oxford are easily reached. Cheltenham, home of the Cheltenham Gold Cup is only a half an hours drive.
Parking is free on Wraggs Row access road outside the cottage.
Gable Cottage is usually let for for a minimum of 7 nights but at certain times of the year, is available for short breaks of 3 or 4 nights. ( See availability) For self catering holidays or short breaks, Gable Cottage is your perfect home away from home for your visit to the Cotswolds.

(RAYCOM) - If you surf the internet, there is a warning to tell you about. A letter is circulating, and responding to it could cost you your identity and destroy your credit.
The bogus email has the FBI logo on it and is signed by an agent. It says that a bank has a cash prize of $8.4 million waiting for you. The claim in the email is somebody has attempted to come in and claim the estate or the winnings in your stead.
The fraudulent email even includes a copy of the person's passport supposedly trying to claim your money. It goes on to say the bank needs you to provide personal information for verification purposes.
"They are really not just soliciting your information so they can make an attempt to run a scam on your credit," said Sgt. Paul Huffstutler of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office in Richmond, VA. "That is how they are preying upon these victims using their sense of anger or entitlement people get agitated saying no, that's not me let me give them all the information I can so they know it's not me so that the money can come back to my account because I need it."
What may be even more interesting is the email doesn't ask for your social security number. But police say criminals can still get their hands on your social in other ways if they have enough personal information about you.
"They can enter into new lines of credit," Huffstutler said. "The worst case I always see is people getting second mortgages on their homes that they don't know exist."
When it comes to these type of phony emails, common sense is your best defense.
"If you have won a lottery that you never entered into in the first place, there is no lottery," said Huffstutler.
Another red flag - the email is full of misspellings and it's poorly written. The FBI says if they need to notify you on an investigation, they won't ask for any personal information by email or phone.

Weekly preface: While SOTU's weekly coverage is excellent, I thought I'd add an Opponents Watch as a FanPost each week. Let me know if you like the feature and if you have any suggestions for how to make it better, I'll definitely check out the comments. For each team I'll look at their last game, a strength, a weakness, how much Miami should fear them (from 1 being Savannah State to 10 being the 2001 Canes), what I expect when they play Miami (should win, lean win, toss up, lean loss, should lose), and their next game. This is not at a comprehensive preview of each team (dorseyitis already does a fantastic job with that each week); it's designed to be a snapshot of each game down the road. Last week's opponent watch can be found here. Let's get into it.
About last week:
'Canes fans kicked back and watched about 429 (all numbers approximate) ranked teams fall, some to unranked opponents (WTF, Stanford?). A couple Top 10 teams narrowly avoided the same fate, with Clemson and Texas A&M escaping by a total of 13 points. Meanwhile, during FSU's bye week Jameis Winston saved 14 puppies from a burning building, solved world hunger and dressed up as four different Tigers pitchers to one-hit the Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALCS.
Last week: BYE
Biggest strength: The passing offense remains the best part of this team. Backup Marquise Williams had a pretty good day (23/35, 277 yards, 2 TDs, 2 picks) against an outstanding VT defense and the Tar Heels' attack ranks 25th in the nation at 293 yards per game overall. In good news for the Heels, starting quarterback Bryn Renner seems ready to return to action under the lights on Thursday.
Biggest weakness: In their last game, Carolina picked up just 99 yards rushing on 38 carries, good for an average of 2.6 yards per carry with a long of eleven. Yes, their longest run of the game was 11 yards. This is somewhat mitigated by the strength of VT's defense, but come on, man. The Tar Heels now rank 115th in the nation in rushing offense.
Fear level (1-10): This will likely be the best passing attack that the 'Canes have faced thus far, but the defense is pretty horrendous. 5.
Outcome of matchup for UM: What I said last week hasn't changed: "It's a conference game, it's on the road and it's a night. A game like this should never be taken for granted, even if it seems like a sure thing. Both teams have a bye week going into the game, meaning 12 days to prepare, so coaching will play a huge role. All signs point to the 'Canes, but remember Virginia last year? Let's just be a bit cautious." To add to that, Miami now has the target of being a Top 10 team on their back and UNC's crowd should be absolutely nuts. This won't be fun or easy. Lean win
Next game: vs. #10 (!!!!) Miami (5-0)
Last week: BYE
Biggest strength: The passing defense continues to be the best asset the Demon Deacons can deploy, ranking 34th in the nation at 206 yards per game. However, expect this to continue to slide down as the meat of the ACC schedule hits the Demon Deacons, who still have to play Miami and Florida State.
Biggest weakness: The offense continues to be anemic and the main problem is on the ground. At just 110 yards per game, the Wake ground attack ranks 110th nationally. While their passing attack is a bit better (QB Tanner Price actually has deceivingly solid numbers: 57.8%, 6.9 YPA, 9 TD, 3 INT), it's no powerhouse, ranking 79th.
Fear level (1-10): Really nothing very scary here. 3.
Outcome of matchup for UM: Theoretically this is the easiest remainng game on the schedule, but this absolutely screams trap game. Don't forget what can happen to a team when they're playing a conference bottom feeder the week before the biggest game of their season (see: Clemson vs. Boston College last Saturday). The 'Canes will have to make sure not to overlook an overmatched Wake Forest sqaud at Sun Life Stadium. Should win
Next game: vs. Maryland (5-1)
Last week: BYE
Biggest strength: Okay, let's take a second to actually analyze what we have here instead of SOMEWHAT SARCASTICALLY SCREAMING THEIR PRAISES LIKE I DID LAST WEEK!!!!!! They're absolutely killing every statistical category, ranking 4th in total offense (549 yards per game) and 7th in total defense (277 yards). However, it's come against pretty meager competition. Their big 63-0 win over Maryland is certainly diminished after the Terps near-loss at lowly Virginia last week, but I still think a 63-point win over a conference opponent is pretty freaky. Are the 'Noles as good as their stats who right now? I doubt it, but they still appear to be pretty formidable.
Biggest weakness: Like I said above, as of now, there are no statistical weaknesses. It seems like they might be able to be had on the ground as this is their lowest ranked unit (27th), but that's certainly nothing to sniff at. This Saturday night should be enlightening.
Fear level (1-10): We'll know so much more about Florida State after the Clemson game Saturday night. If I had to predict the game, I say FSU is able to go into Death Valley and pull it out, but with the lack of any meaningful games on their schedule to this point, no one can really know how this will play out for Jameis Winston and company. For now, they're a 9. We'll reevaluate after the ACC game of the year.
Outcome of matchup for UM: Still no idea, as with the fear level we'll have to wait and see what happens on Saturday. For now, this is somewhere between Should lose and Lean loss
Next game:
THE SUPER BOWL!!! at Clemson (6-0)
Last week: The Hokies pulled out a pretty unimpressive home win over Pittsburgh, 19-9. The defense was great as always, allowing just 210 total yards including an impressive 23 rushing yards on 26 carries (!!). Yep, that's an average 0.9 YPC. This came against an anemic Pittsburgh ground game, but that number is impressive regardless of who you beat. The offense continued to sputter though, only reaching 315 yards and 2 yards per carry.
Biggest strength: VT's defense now sits at 4th in the country and first in the ACC. Both their passing and rushing defense sit 12th or higher nationally and this is by far the Coastal's best defensive unit. That said...
Biggest weakness: ...boy this offense is really bad and it's going to really hurt the Hokies against Miami. After putting up just 19 points against Pittsburgh—a team that allowed 55 to Duke—the Hokies stand at 105th in the nation in total offense, including 105th in rushing. Logan Thomas's supposed improvement took a step back against Pitt, as he completed just 19-of-34 passes for 7.0 YPA and an unimpressive 54.8 QBR. Even more concerning, this marks the third week in a row where the Hokies have failed to break 2 yards per carry and their past three opponents have hardly been juggernauts (GT, UNC, Pitt).
Fear level (1-10): Last week I had them at a 6, but this offense is just so bad I can't justify anything higher than a 5. That said, look at this incredibly favorable conference schedule. The Hokies luckily avoid both Clemson and Florida State AND catch the 'Canes the week after Miami plays Florida State. The 'Canes better be able to get up for the Hokies just one week after the trip to Tallahassee, because unless something very unexpected happens, VT is probably going 7-0 against their other conference opponents and could steal a bid to the ACCCG with a win at Sun Life Stadium.
Outcome of matchup for UM: Miami is the better team, but a hangover could be in the works following FSU week. The stakes for this game are going to be incredibly high, as explained above. Lean win
Next game: BYE
Last week: The Blue Devils picked up an impressive 35-7 win over Navy. While the Midshipmen are certainly not a powerhouse, they were 3-1 coming into the game including a 41-35 win over an Indiana team that beat Penn State two weeks ago. Duke's offense was prolific, with starting QB Anthony Boone returning from injury to throw for 295 yards (7.8 YPA) and three scores. The defense yielded 230 yards on the ground to Navy's triple-option offense, but nabbed three takeaways to turn the game into a rout.
Biggest strength: This continues to be a very balanced attack offensively, with QBs Boone and Brandon Connette combining to average better than 8 YPA and a 70% completion rate. On the ground, the Blue Devils feature a two-headed attack, with Jela Duncan averaging 5.2 yards per carry on 56 touches and Josh Snead 6.1 on 46.
Biggest weakness: The rushing defense is quite bad, further evidenced by Navy gashing the Blue Devils for 230 yards on the ground Saturday. Duke now comes in at 86th nationally in that category, conceding an average of 180 yards per game.
Fear level (1-10): The offense is explosive even if the defense is quite vulnerable on the ground. 3.5.
Outcome of matchup for UM: As with all confernece road games, it's dangerous to take things for granted, but the 'Canes offense should be able to dominate this game. Should win
Next game: vs. Virginia (2-4)
Last week: The Cavs followed up their embarrassment against Ball State by going on the road to Maryland and...wait, what? Virginia actually outgained the Terps in first downs (29-19) and total yards (505-468) in a narrow 27-26 loss. That said, this probably says more about how much of a pretender Maryland was than anything about Virginia.
Biggest strength: I guess it's the defense, but this is still a very inconsistent unit even though it's ranked a respectable 38th in the nation. They have played offensively-potent Oregon and BYU, but Clemson and Miami are coming down the road. Additionally, this is a team that gave up 48 points to a MAC team. The jury's still out on the Cavaliers' defense.
Biggest weakness: Even after putting up better than 500 yards against Maryland (sure makes you feel a little bit better about our upcoming date with FSU doesn't it?), the offense still ranks 87th in the nation in overall yardage and 106th in passing yardage. Last week's outburst says far more Maryland's defense being terrible than anything about Virginia, and keep in mind all of those yards only led to 26 points and yet another loss. QB David Watford averages just 5 YPA and has 4 TDs to 7 picks. Yikes.
Fear level (1-10): At least they're slightly competitive sometimes? Maybe? 2.5+an extra half-point for last year's UVA game=3.
Outcome of matchup for UM: Senior day should be a happy one for the 'Canes! Should win
Next game: vs. Duke (4-2)
Last week: Pittsburgh was dealt a snoozy 19-9 loss by Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium. The defense performed reasonably well, holding a pretty terrible VT offense to 315 yards and 17 first downs, but the offense was just terrible. 11 first downs, 210 total yards and 0.9 (!!) yards per carry did not make Saturday a fun one for Panthers fans.
Biggest strength: As I've been saying, it's still very difficult to identify a solid strength with this team. That's not meant to say that they're terrible; I think they're better than three other teams remaining on Miami's schedule (Wake Forest, Duke and Virginia). They just have nothing that stands out. Their highest ranked unit is their rushing defense, which comes in 47th nationally. Their D is ranked 43rd in overall yardage.
Biggest weakness: The rushing offense continues to be terrible. Coming into the VT game, the Panthers averaged just 140 yards per game and ranked 88th nationally. After? 117 yards per game and 106th in the country. Pitt does have two backs with at least 45 carries and 4.5 yards per, but QB Tom Savage has been running for his life all season in front of a porous offensive line and the sacks add up as they are counted against rushing yards in college football. No, no one is sure why and I certainly can't tell you.
Fear level (1-10): I would certainly peg the Panthers above the dreck of the ACC but below teams like Georgia Tech and UNC. 4.
Outcome of matchup for UM: Hopefully this game is a final statement before the 'Canes head to Charlotte for the ACCCG. Lean win
Next game: vs. Old Dominion (4-2, 0-2 against FBS)
Let's go 'Canes! Take care of business Thursday and then sit back and enjoy FSU-Clemson on Saturday (poll on this game below). Full Speed Ahead.

The Belgian band Two Man Sound is best known for "Qué Tal America," their international underground disco anthem of 1979. The 12" story seems to be that this was first released on the Canadian Attic label in 1978 - a different version to the US version released the following year - which was also repressed in 1981. Possibly one of the best basslines of any disco track ever. Bandmembers were Lou Deprijck (also known from Lou & The Hollywood Bananas), Sylvain Vanholme (founder of the Wallace Collection) and Pipou (Yvan or Yves Lacomblez) (co-writer of "Ca plane pour moi").

Wood County Sheriff mark Wasylyshn was sworn in Sunday for his third term. He says he's glad to be back.
"I love what I do. I loved it since day one. Some days I love it more than others, but it truly is a great challenge. I'm very honored to be the sheriff of Wood County.
Wasylyshn has served as sheriff for eight years.
