Dear Members of the CUNY Board of Trustees,
I write to you as the faculty member on the CUNY Board Committee on Academic Policy, Program and Research (CAPPR). Two weeks ago, on April 2, during the most recent CAPPR meeting and during informal discussions afterward with several of the Committees members, I came to the realization that not all the Trustees may know about the many votes of opposition to Pathways that have taken place across CUNY during the past three and a half months since January 2012, none solicited by the University Faculty Senate. Copies of these statements and other relevant statements are enclosed for your information.
During and after that same meeting I also came to the realization that not all the Trustees may know about a petition in opposition to Pathways which more than 4,700 non-student members of the CUNY community have signed onto; this petition was emailed to each of us at our CUNY email address, from which those who signed onto the petition did so. You will find my name among the signatories. The url of the petition is http://action.aft.org/c/521/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=3633
Please do let me know if you would like to discuss this or if you have questions. In addition to being the CAPPR faculty member, I am also the President of the Faculty Senate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, one of the elected faculty bodies that issued yet another statement in opposition to Pathways just two weeks ago and which is among the documents enclosed.
Karen Kaplowitz, Ph.D.

Black Dice makes experimental electronic noise rock that's been known to draw blood. Infamous for their visceral and assaulting live shows, brothers Eric and Bjorn Copeland -- now joined by new drummer Aaron Warren -- have produced more than their fair share of jarring, disorienting and disconcerting records in the past five years. Recently, however, the New York-based act has begun tinkering with more accessible sounds. 2003's "Cone Toaster" single was almost dance-floor ready, and this year's Broken Ear Recordflirts with beats and loops that would almost be at home on a Moby disc. Almost. With sounds that suggest early Cabaret Voltaire, the Residents and even Autechre -- as well as roots in the Rhode Island School of Design, the same arts community that birthed the Talking Heads -- the Dicemen create a sonic pastiche that is ambient, grating and discordant at times, almost booty-shaking at others. Almost.

What kills the tank is the Soul Reaper followed by the haste buffed melees, you can prevent this by having one tank eating the Soul Reaper and when they are healed up just take him back. I still reccomend for you getting the offset chest, Pillars of Might and trinket before you grab the 4pc.

Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) increases stomach cancer risk. Helicobacter pylori strains with the cag pathogenicity island (PAI) induce more severe inflammation in the gastric epithelium and are more strongly associated with stomach cancer risk than strains lacking the PAI. We examined whether the prevalence of somatic p53 mutation in gastric adenocarcinoma differed between subjects with and without infection with CagA(+) (a marker for the PAI) H. pylori strains. DNA from 105 microdissected tumor specimens was analyzed for mutation in exons 5-8 of the p53 gene by polymerase chain reaction-based single-strand conformation polymorphism followed by direct DNA sequencing. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for IgG antibodies against H. pylori and CagA were performed on sera collected 2-31 years prior to cancer diagnosis. Tumors from CagA(+) subjects were significantly more likely to have p53 mutations than tumors from CagA(-) subjects (including H. pylori- and H. pylori(+)/CagA(-)): odds ratio = 3.72; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-13.07 after adjustment for histologic type and anatomic subsite of tumor and age at diagnosis and sex of subjects. Mutations were predominantly insertions and deletions (43%) as well as transition mutations at CpG dinucleotides (33%). The data suggest that CagA(+) H. pylori infection, when compared with CagA(-) infection or the absence of H. pylori infection, is associated with a higher prevalence of p53 mutation in gastric adenocarcinoma.

Olympic torch to be sent to space
SOCHI, Russia (AP)
An unlit Olympic torch will be sent into space ahead of the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
The Russian Federal Space Agency will take the torch to the Soyuz TMA-11M manned spaceship in early November as part of the four-month torch relay, which begins Oct. 7.
US ATHLETES TO WATCHThe Winter Olympics in Sochi are just weeks away. See which American athletes to watch as we count down to the Games.
Once in space, Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryazansky and Oleg Kotov will take the Olympic torch on a spacewalk.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, head of the Sochi organizing committee, says "nobody has done this before. The spacewalk by two Russian cosmonauts with the Sochi 2014 Olympic torch will be an historic moment in the history of the Olympic torch relay."

William Edmondson and Friends: Breaking the Mold
September 27 2014 - January 4 2015
This fall, Cheekwood is honored to present William Edmondson and Friends: Breaking the Mold, an exhibition of works by renowned Nashville sculptor William Edmondson and the many sculptors and painters his life and art have inspired.
William Edmondson was a self-taught sculptor who made a lasting impression in the history of American art. The first African American artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1937, Edmondson pushed the idea of self-taught to another level with a bold and sophisticated approach to making art from base material.
William Edmondson and Friends creates a dialogue between Edmondson and a range of artists, many of them from Tennessee, who have also broken the mold of their medium. Edmondson's "friends" include Lonnie Holley, Thornton Dial, Red Grooms, Olen Bryant, Puryear Mims, Alan LeQuire, Tom Rice, Meyer Wolfe and Greg Ridley.
William Edmondson and Friends invites visitors to meet the diverse community of artists who have carried forward Edmondson's love for stone carving and interpreted it in often separate and distinct ways. More ...

Cheekwood is thrilled to welcome North Carolina native Patrick Dougherty to Nashville as our 3rd Annual Martin Shallenberger Artist-in-Residence. Dougherty is known for his giant, tangled works, described by The New York Times as "startling (and delightful) … woolly lairs and wild follies, gigantic snares, nests and cocoons." Over the last two decades, Dougherty has installed over 200 projects in many public and private places including museums, botanic gardens, college campuses, and private residencies. His sculpture at Cheekwood, Little Bitty Pretty One, is inspired by an English Oast house. More ...

1. Apparatus for capturing and printing images on a photosensitive sheet comprising:
(a) a camera for electronically storing an image of a subject and having a display for displaying such stored image and including alignment means;
(b) a printer including means for receiving a photosensitive sheet; driving means providing relative movement between a display area on the display and the photosensitive sheet, such printer further including:
(i) optical means for focusing the display area onto said photosensitive sheet;
(ii) means for providing electronic communication between the electronic camera and the printer so that the printing area of said display is imaged on the photosensitive sheet.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the alignment means further includes an active socket which includes electronic sensing circuitry for communicating with the printer.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 further including a print head and means for preventing the printer unit from being detached from the camera when there is electronic communication between the display and the print head.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the optical means includes rod lens arrays.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the optical means images an image segment of the display onto the photosensitive sheet.
The present invention is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/767,394, filed simultaneously herewith, entitled "Electronic Camera and Integral Ink Jet Printer", assigned to the assignee of the present invention. The disclosure of these related applications is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to electronic cameras and to the printing of images produced by such camera.
It is known in the prior art to provide an electronic camera which uses an area image sensor. Digital images produced from the image sensor are stored in memory and these images can be shown on a display so that the user can determine which image should be stored for use in producing hard copy images. Typically, these images can be stored in a magnetic disk or a compact PCMCIA Flash RAM Card or in dedicated memory within the camera.
A shortcoming with prior electronic cameras is that data must be transmitted from the electronic camera to printer. Interfaces must be present to transfer the data. As disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,032,911, printers that write to light sensitive media print must have means within the printer that operate on received data and convert the data into modulated light to mark the photosensitive sheet. Many newer electronic cameras incorporate light emitting displays to view a captured image. However, the apparatus for producing such images is not available for light writing onto photosensitive media.
It is an object of the present invention to make use of an electronic image display in an electronic camera to write directly onto light sensitive media which can effectively provide a hard copy.
This object is achieved by apparatus for capturing and printing images on a photosensitive sheet comprising:
(a) a camera for electronically storing an image of a subject and having a display for displaying such stored image and including alignment means;
(b) a printer including means for receiving a photosensitive sheet; driving means providing relative movement between a display area on the display and the photosensitive sheet, such printer further including:
(i) optical means for focusing the display area onto said photosensitive sheet;
(ii) means for providing electronic communication between the electronic camera and the printer so that the printing area of said display is imaged on the photosensitive sheet.
A feature of this invention is that a camera display is used to directly write onto the light sensitive media. Moreover, electronic interconnecting the printer and the camera permits the electronic camera to modulate the display in conjunction with the motion of the photosensitive sheet to produce an image on the photosensitive sheet.
FIG. 1 is a top section view of an electronic camera which is adapted to be coupled to a printer in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top section view of the printer which is adapted to be coupled to the electronic camera of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows the printer of FIG. 2 attached to the camera of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a front sectional view showing portions of the printer of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a rear view of the electronic camera shown in FIG. 1.
The invention is directed to a compact printer used in conjunction with electronic cameras. Such cameras often have a flat panel color display that is used to frame and/or review capture images. Separable printers exist that receive data from said electronic capture devices. Typically, interface electronics is disposed in each device and data is transmitted from the electronic camera to the printer.
Turning now to FIG. 1, an electronic camera 10 is shown, and to FIG. 2 where a printer 12 is shown. Electronic camera 10 is of conventional design and can capture either still or motion images. Images are captured by camera head 14 and transferred to camera electronics 16. Camera electronics 16 is capable of displaying still images on camera display 18. Camera display 18 can be for instance a LCD or organic polymer display system of conventional design.
Electronic camera 10, in accordance with the present invention, includes the additional modification of an active socket 20 and a passive socket 22 for the purpose of securing the printer 12 over camera display 18. Active socket 20 incorporates electronic sensing circuitry to communicate with printer 12. Electronic sensing circuitry can be a wire active socket 20 to communicate with printer 12. Alternatively, a light sensing/transmitting assembly can be incorporated in or near the active socket 20.
The printer 12 has an active latch 24 and a passive latch 28 that permits the printer to be secured over the camera display 18. In this embodiment the latches 24 and 28 are hooked and secure to matching detail 24a formed in the sockets 20 and 22 of camera 10. The rear view of the camera in FIG. 5 shows the position of the active socket 20 and the passive socket 22 and camera display 18. A latch driver 26 permits the selective securing and release of printer 12 from camera 10 under control of printer electronics 30. A compliant, light tight mask is disposed on the printer so that coupling printer 12 to electronic camera 10 mask camera display 18. FIG. 3 shows printer 12 secured to camera 10.
Printer 12 contains a stack of media sheets 38. These sheets are light sensitive and are loaded into the camera and stored in light sensitive manner as is known in the art. A roller 40, disposed over the stack, is driven by roller drive 36 to advance a photosensitive sheet 42 from media sheets 38 past an imaging area defined by printing optic 44 and light baffle 48. Photosensitive sheet 42 moves from the stack into the printing area in a light tight fashion as is well known in the art. In one embodiment printing optic 44 is an array of gradient index rods that have been formed into a linear array. Printing optic 44 can be formed from Nippon Sheet Glass rod lens array type 20B which has a total conjugate 15.1 mm. The actual element is 6.89 mm tall and first working distance 45 and second working distance 46 are 4.10 mm. Light baffle 48 is a light tight shell that surrounds the printing area and masks out the light transmitted from camera display 18 onto photosensitive sheet 42.
The sockets and latches are dimensionally controlled so as to align printing optic 44 with the light emitting elements of camera display 18. First working distance 45 should be located by the interface to focus on the light emitting elements of camera display 18. Second working distance 46 is provided for forming an image on the imaging surface of photosensitive sheet 42. Printing optic 44 is accurately positioned relative to the display when the printer is secured to the camera 10.
The positioning of the latches and sockets defines a display area 35 that will be used for printing. Light baffle 48 blocks light on both the sending and receiving sides of the image transfer path to minimize flare light.
An image is formed on photosensitive sheet 42 by advancing photosensitive sheet 42 an incremental amount using roller 40 and roller drive 36. Timing signals from printer electronics 30 are transmitted through an interface formed by active latch 24 and active socket 20. The timing signals are received by camera electronics 16. Camera electronics 16 modulates display area 35 to begin writing a line of the image onto photosensitive sheet 42. Although the disclosed arrangement is for writing a line of pixels at a time, it will be understood to those skilled in the art that other image segments, such as two lines or more, can also be written at a time. Display area 35 is selectively driven by camera electronics 16 so as to form a line of the printed image. After display area 35 has completed writing a line of the image, photosensitive sheet 42 is advanced again to begin the next printing cycle. The process is continued until a complete image is formed on photosensitive sheet 42.
After writing, the media can be passed through processing rollers that develop the written image and stabilize the media. Photosensitive sheets can be found in current art as instant silver-halide sheets or pressure sensitive microencapsulated crushable color particles such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,768,050, 5,049,902, and 5,122,432. Alternatively, images can be stored on photographic film and then stored and chemically processed at a later time.
In operation, an operator obtains a print by mounting the printer 12 with the electronic camera 10. Latches 24 and 28 automatically secure printer 12 in a light tight manner to camera display 18 on electronic camera 10. The operator signals the start of printing using printer electronics 30. Printer 12 advances photosensitive sheet 42 from the light tight area that stores media sheets 38 into a first writing position under printing optic 44. The printer's active socket 20 provides electronic communication with the camera electronics 16 to indicate that it is ready to receive image data from printer 12 using camera display 18. Upon print initialization, electronic camera 10 writes a first line of data by selectively modulating display line 35. After the first line is written, photosensitive sheet 42 is advanced into a position to write the second line. A signal is sent to electronic camera 10 and a second line is written. The process is repeated until a complete image is formed.
The use of the latch driver 26 under the control of printer electronics 30 ensures that printer 12 is not detached from electronic camera 10 during image transmission from camera display 18 and printer receiver device 32. An operator detaches printer 12 from electronic camera 10 using an interface to printer electronics 30 such as a conventional switch. Printer electronics 30 then activates latch driver 26 to permit removal of printer 12 from camera 10.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to a certain preferred embodiment thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

The vibe is back in downtown Salt Lake City
They are young, diverse, mobile, socially aware and part of a long-sought transformation in Utah's urban core.
Twenty-somethings are driving a residential boom in the heart of Salt Lake City, with thousands of new apartments, condominiums and town homes being built to cater to the living needs of these so-called millennials.
Utah's younger demographics, its sturdy job market and a blossoming tech sector have combined with a light-rail system and premier outdoor and cultural attractions to lure a large share of this generation to the state's capital.
ONLINE CHAT: Watch economist Pam Perlich, real estate agent Angela Carlson, the Downtown Alliance's Nick Como, Tribune reporter Tony Semerad and host Jennifer Napier-Pearce talk about the wants and needs of 20- and 30-somethings and their importance to the economy.
The rise in city dwellers is helping to revitalize downtown and fulfill a dream of municipal leaders to bolster the metro-residential population base.
"It's pretty exciting to see," said David Everett, chief of staff to Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker. "You can have people visiting and working downtown, but it's not the same."
As downtown millennials go, Guy Warner is not atypical.
The 30-year-old condo resident and his young family take TRAX, ride bikes or walk to traverse the city's long blocks. He frequents the Twilight Concert Series in Pioneer Park and Craft Lake City at the Gallivan Center. A weekend might find the couple at favorite neighborhood bars like Junior's Tavern or Keys on Main.
"We like downtown for the night life," said Warner, a Web developer who grew up in St. George. It's worth commuting to Orem for work each day, he said, to be close to a surging urban vibrancy.
Warner and other millennials say they connect personally with what they see as Salt Lake City's more liberal sensibility, especially when compared with the rest of the Beehive State. Utah's capital hasn't elected a Republican mayor since the mid-1970s, opting instead for left-leaning politicos such as Becker and his predecessor, Rocky Anderson.
"The reason why I'm so attracted to Salt Lake is the progressive ideas," explained Isabel Mejia, a 29-year-old nutritionist and Los Angeles transplant who runs her own consulting company and lives downtown. "Even on things as simple as recycling or farmers markets and caring about being green, I definitely think Salt Lake is leading the way."
The young and the zestless • Downtown is also drawing middle-age families and older couples whose children have left home, known as empty nesters, but millennials are considered the shape of things to come if only for their sheer numbers.
Born between 1980 and 2000, they make up the largest U.S. generation at 80 million strong, narrowly bypassing baby boomers reared between World War II and the early 1960s. The latest U.S. census puts the 20- to 30-year-old set at about a quarter of all Americans.
Unlike members of prior population bulges, this group is more cohesive in its views, a reflection of growing up with near-instant access to a body of world knowledge via the Internet, according to a leading national expert on the subject.
Millennials tend to be well-educated, idealistic and globally minded, believing in inclusion, tolerance, social responsibility and the value of meaningful personal experiences over consumption, said David Burstein, author of "Fast Future: How the Millennial Generation Is Shaping Our World."
The author recently delivered a pep talk to Salt Lake City business owners eager to court this incoming population cluster, both as customers and talented, tech-savvy employees.
"Combined with the size of the generation, that common sense of values is pretty powerful," Burstein, 25, said in an interview. "Entire industries are dealing with how to cater to this generation."
There's no place like ... renting • Key to downtown Salt Lake City's housing picture, millennials seem to prefer renting as opposed buying a home.
They want mobility and are delaying marriage and having kids. They are more likely to carry student debt and face tighter lending conditions than their parents or grandparents did. More basically, they've had their faith in an ever-rising housing market shaken by the Great Recession.
For some, it comes down to basic lifestyle choices.
"I miss having a yard," Warner said, "but I don't miss yardwork."
In past decades, Utah has ranked as one of the highest U.S. states for homeownership, a metric closely tied to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its family emphasis. But federal housing numbers reveal that ratio has slipped from 76.2 percent in 2008 to 70.9 last year. The shift is even more pronounced for 25- to 34-year-olds, statistics show.
Mirroring that decline, vacancy rates on apartments is now at 3 percent in Salt Lake County, the lowest rate in 13 years and down nearly an entire percentage point from a year ago. Rents continue to inch upward, particularly for newly built and more-upscale dwellings.
Those numbers have Utah's housing developers and investors paddling hard to catch the wave of what are referred to as "lifestyle renters." Land in downtown's core is selling at a premium and dozens of the state's biggest builders are diving in — even companies traditionally known for erecting single-family homes in the suburbs.
Ivory Homes, for one, recently announced a mixed-use project that will include apartments, near 200 East and 300 South. "Being close to TRAX is helpful," said Chris Gamvroulas, president of Ivory's development arm, "but it's everything else that goes along with being in a downtown area."
People power • Salt Lake City saw around 725 market-rate apartments built from 2001 to 2010. In the past four years alone, that number jumped to 2,112, according to a new study. And the trend keeps climbing. More than 6,000 units are planned countywide during the next two years, it says.
Already, scores of projects — each with between a dozen and hundreds of one- to four-bedroom units — are popping up across the city's skyline, with such names at Seasons at Liberty Square, Bridges at Citifront, Broadway Park Lofts and 644 City Station.
The appetite for rentals shows few signs of easing during the next year, said Jim Wood, the study's author and director of the University of Utah's Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
"Market conditions for apartment owners will continue to be favorable," he wrote.
All of this is happening as the city reaches the final stages of a once-per-generation rewriting of its planning blueprint for downtown. The draft master plan envisions a quadrupling of the downtown resident population by 2040 — from about 5,000 people as measured in 2010 to 20,000 three decades from now.
If those projections bear out, the effect could bring critical mass to the city's decades-old goal of creating a 24/7 downtown, akin to major metro areas such as Portland or Seattle. The new residents, the plan says, may well "activate downtown by patronizing downtown businesses, enlivening the public realm and visiting its parks and public spaces" around the clock.
People, says one advocate, are the dynamic ingredient that makes everything else in a downtown work.
"Downtown residents increase safety and security, economic activity, cultural activities and street-level vibrancy,'' said Jason Mathis, director of the business- and city-backed Downtown Alliance. "This is especially true with younger people who tend to stay out later and walk more."
The City Creek boost • Other factors are accelerating the pace of higher-density, multifamily-housing construction in the central business district, a 700-acre footprint bounded by Interstate 15, North Temple, 200 East and 900 South.
The city has steadily added urban attractions in the past 25 years. These range from the Utah Jazz's 19,911-seat arena in 1991 to an array of arts and cultural fairs, music venues, galleries, restaurants, taverns, hotels and hundreds of boutique stores and businesses. And a Broadway-caliber theater is on its way.
Though downtown is still car-centric in many ways, with vast swaths of surface parking, elected leaders have widened walkability and pushed for bike lanes, particularly under Becker's tenure. Both have major millennial appeal.
Utah's ski and winter sports industry provides an undeniable draw more than a decade after the 2002 Winter Olympics raised its profile worldwide. The region's colleges and universities — including added campuses downtown — bring in thousands of students, and many stay once they graduate.
A healthy share of credit goes to the LDS Church for building its $1.5 billion City Creek Center shopping complex, according to downtown boosters and commercial real-estate insiders. Spanning two blocks and fronting Main Street, the luxurious and grand-scale mall opened in 2011 and is now hitting its intended stride, helping the city's core amass a record $800 million in retail sales for 2013.
According to Kip Paul, executive director of investment sales for Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce Real Estate Solutions: "To say they primed the pump is an understatement."
Some worried that City Creek — with its 536 apartments and condos — and the presence of LDS Business College and a Brigham Young University campus at the Triad Center would spur a Mormonization of downtown, leaving those outside the state's predominant religion feeling uneasy if not unwelcome. But those fears have largely evaporated
The LDS Church remains a vast and expanding presence — with the faith's headquarters and signature temple as city centerpieces — and more Latter-day Saints are moving downtown. But so, too, are varied blends of other believers and nonbelievers.
Millennials, author Burstein notes, tend to be spiritual but less religious as a group, while lacking trust in institutions in general.
Zoning for dollars • Part of the boom is a rebound effect from the 2007 housing crash as builders catch up to pent-up demand. At the same time, city leaders have laid foundations for the population spurt in less-obvious ways.
During the past several years, planners at City Hall have quietly rezoned lots along North Temple, 400 South and 900 South to better tap the potential of light-rail lines. They also created a point system that expedites projects considered beneficial to urban vitality, deploying what's known as form-based zoning to regulate new construction according to its look, shape and size instead of its intended use.
"I hesitate to say the big boom is all due to those changes," City Planning Director Wilf Sommerkorn said, "but it certainly played a big part."
The influx of Generation Y poses major challenges as well.
The city's core is low on residential amenities such as grocery stores — a new Harmons across from City Creek Center fills with shoppers — and green spaces for those who want a verdant place to walk the dog or let the kids play.
"There's Pioneer Park, Liberty Park, maybe a couple of things sprinkled in between — and that's it,'' groused 26-year-old Eric Biggart, who walks to work downtown from his newly purchased home near East High.
The city raised its impact fees on new apartments two years ago to help pay for new parks, then lowered them a year later amid claims they made projects too expensive and rents less affordable. Planners also note a difficult balance between giving development room and retaining historic and funky older buildings that give the city charm.
What's more, the new stock of apartments is notably heavy on one- and two-bedroom units, potentially squeezing out larger families and making downtown too millennial-centered over time.
"We need to continue to build for families of various types," said City Councilman Luke Garrott, whose district covers downtown. "You have to have diversity of incomes, races, ages, religions and lifestyles to have the vital energy of a great city."
So, millennials are welcome but it takes all kinds to make a downtown.

Young Reds goalkeeper Ben Amos will spend the rest of the season on loan at Oldham Athletic.
The 20-year-old stopper, who's made two first-team appearances for United this term, will gain valuable experience at Boundary Park, although he faces stiff competition from current custodian Dean Brill.
The Latics, 13th in League One, host Swindon Town this weekend and Oldham boss Paul Dickov says he's looking forward to Amos' arrival.
"I'm absolutely delighted," he told the Manchester Evening News. "Ben's a top young English keeper and I'd like to thank Sir Alex Ferguson and [Reds goalkeerp coach] Eric Steele for helping it to happen.
"Dean Brill has done well for us but we feel Ben's arrival gives us extra options."
Amos, who began the season as the Reds' third-choice goalkeeper, slipped down the pecking order after Denmark international Anders Lindegaard, 26, signed for United this month. The loan spell at Oldham should, however, provide Amos with first-team opportunities and ensure his development continues.

George Zimmerman (right) with his attorney Mark O'Mara during a court hearing in April 2012. | Gary W. Green/ap
Updated: September 29, 2013 6:43AM
Going to trial can be a financial sentence of death for average people even if they are acquitted. Being set free doesn't mean much if every nickel a defendant ever saved — or could hope to save in the future — has gone to legal fees.
To right that wrong, Illinois should consider a law similar to a Florida statute that's in the news this week because George Zimmerman's lawyer has said he will ask that state to cover up to $300,000 in legal expenses.
In Florida, if a defendant is acquitted, the law requires the state to pay his or her legal costs other than lawyers' fees. In the case of Zimmerman, who after a five-week trial last month was found not guilty of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, that would include expert witnesses, travel, depositions, photocopies and even an animated 3-D video that jurors saw during closing arguments.
Zimmerman is hardly the poster child for legal reform. His not guilty verdict outraged many Americans. When he was stopped for speeding in Texas recently, he asked that classic obnoxious question: "Do you know who I am?" And just last weekend, according to TMZ, Zimmerman shopped for a rifle at the same manufacturer of the Kel-Tach 9mm pistol he used to shoot Martin, a move even his legal team called a public relations disaster.
But whatever one thinks about Zimmerman, it makes sense for Florida to help out with his legal fees. This is a real problem in the American justice system — federal or local prosecutors can destroy a person financially just by bringing charges and forcing the person to defend himself. The government has unlimited resources, and a defendant who doesn't qualify for a public defender does not. If a defendant is acquitted, it seems only fair that he or she be reimbursed for reasonable legal expenses.
It would be a hard sell politically to go all the way and reimburse freed defendants for their lawyers' fees, because not all acquitted defendants are innocent. But adopting a version of the Florida law is feasible, and it would help level the playing field.
It also would incentivize prosecutors to be more careful before they charge someone in a dubious case. Earlier this month, for example, a Cook County prosecutor resigned, saying she was demoted and suspended without pay for dropping charges in a flawed but politically sensitive case. We're not saying that's what happened here — Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez's office has denied it — but clearly the risk of paying out extra legal fees at the end would discourage prosecutors from barreling ahead with cases in which the evidence isn't there.
Would that create a chilling effect for prosecutors? Would they hesitate to proceed with a case unless it was a guaranteed winner? Would some victims find they are not being served by the criminal justice system?
Yes, that might happen in a small number of cases. But let's acknowledge there already is a chilling effect — on defendants. Lawyers will tell you of people who, when they find themselves in the cross hairs of an investigation, ask their attorneys just to get the best deal they can get because it costs too much to plead not guilty. That's one reason the vast majority of cases end with a plea bargain instead of a day in court. That's not the way our legal system is supposed to work.
Would this cost money? Yes. But it is only fair — and taxpayers are shelling out anyway. Two years ago, the Better Government Association documented $214 million in taxpayer-backed settlements for wrongful convictions, and tens of millions of new costs have been added since then.

December 1942. "Chicago, Illinois. In the Chicago & North Western locomotive repair shops." Photo by Jack Delano, Office of War Information. View full size.
Good info on locomotives! How they worked on the inside was always a mystery to me.
Steam locomotives required a lot of time in the shops. Inspections were made daily and small repairs and adjustments were made daily to keep the engines in proper tuneup. All of this could be done while keeping the engine hot.
Every 31 days the fire was put out and the boiler was required to be drained, cleanout plugs removed and the interior of the boiler washed out with high pressure water jets. Certain appliance had to be removed, disassembled, cleaned, and reinstalled.
Every 92 days additional inspections were required, and other work, primarily air components, were removed and rebuilt.
There was also a one year cycle for certain other repairs.
But the big one every 5 years, as shown in this photo, concerned major boiler work, and disassembly of the running gear. It could take an engine out of service for a couple weeks. The engine was lifted off its wheels, and every component that could be removed was disassembled, inspected, tested, and completely rebuilt as necessary. In the foreground we see a cylinder liner in left foreground, and the stack casting on the right. A portable machine was set up in front of the cylinders for re-boring the casting to receive new liners.
Boilers had their superheaters removed and all flues taken out. Inspectors climbed inside and cleaned out accumulated scale, and carefully examined inside and out for hints of excessive corrosion or cracking. If necessary complete boilers could be removed from the running gear and frames, and major boiler repairs made.
Very labor intensive and expensive, so the railroads were more than happy to switch to diesel electric locomotives when they became available.
How often did these locomotives have to be overhauled or rebuilt? I am thinking in terms of automobiles, which need an engine overhaul at 100,000 to 200,000 miles. (My mind is stuck on the 1960s cars.)
But locomotives -- what determined their timeframe?
Also I live near the Union Pacific rail yards in Roseville, California, and I can hear when a diesel needs repair. Talk about LOUD.

Every season has its faces but it seems S/S '09 is all about comeback kids. Our favourite? The gorgeous Anne Vyalitsyna. You might recognise her as the Chanel Chance girl from a few years ago or the original Chloé girl back in Stella McCartney's day. And after a few years of falling off the fashion treadmill, this season she's back and literally everywhere! We spotted her at Prada, Vuitton, Stella and Berardi to name but a few, so right now she's officially the Grazia beauty desk's new model crush. Why? Well apart from her summery freckles, we just love her fresh face and pretty features and reckon she embodies pretty much everything this season is set to be about beauty wise.

Scotland is amazing for wildlife. The variety of species and habitats is outstanding - from golden eagles to otters, red squirrels to wintering geese and huge seabird colonies - all set among rugged mountains, moorland, ancient Caledonian pine forests and miles of coastline.
Our nature reserves in Scotland include some of the wildest and most beautiful areas of the UK. They provide wonderful opportunities to enjoy some of Scotland's spectacular wildlife and scenery, from the world-famous ospreys of Loch Garten to white-tailed eagles on Mull and Rhum.
Basing our work on a sound scientific understanding of what is happening in Scotland's countryside ensures our policies and the partnerships we build are successful. There is a great deal of interest in the conservation of Scotland's biodiversity, and we are pleased to be able to help foster and encourage this.
We have enjoyed numerous conservation successes, from playing a key role in the reintroduction of white-tailed eagles and red kites to Scotland, to increasing the fortunes of corncrakes.
However, the challenges we face are many and varied. These include working for greater protection and better management of seas and coastlines and stamping out the the deliberate destruction of Scotland's birds of prey that has been a prominent issue for many decades.
With around 23% of the European wind energy resource (on- and off-shore) and 59% of the UK's coastline, Scotland has a pivotal role in the future of renewable energy in the UK. To meet the Scottish Executive's target of generating 40% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020 without causing environmental harm will require careful planning.
We are keen to work with wind farm and other renewable energy developers to help achieve sound, sustainable developments that avoid unnecessary conflicts and have established good links with companies and discuss formal plans early, so that sensitive sites can be avoided.
We work with farmers and landowners, providing advice and assistance in helping birds and other wildlife on their land.
With your support, we are providing a better future for Scotland's wildlife for us - and future generations - to enjoy.

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Mike Pence on Monday filled two vacancies on the Indiana State Lottery Commission.
The two appointees – who will serve four-year terms, effective immediately – are Luke Bosso, of Indianapolis, and Debra Kunce, of Carmel.
Bosso is regulator and permitting ombudsman at Develop Indy. He previously worked as resource manager for SkillStorm, a technology services company, and was manager of business development at Indiana University Sports Properties. Active within central Indiana, Bosso volunteers for the National Leukemia Foundation, the Ronald McDonald House and Zoobilation. He is a graduate of Franklin College.
Kunce works at Core Planning Strategies. She was at Schmidt Associates Inc. from 1994 to 2012, where she led the program management team and was responsible for overseeing the nearly $1 billion bond program for the Indianapolis Public Schools. She is a registered architect and has received a number of awards and recognitions for her professional excellence, including serving as the national vice president for the American Institute of Architects.
The commission is a five-member board. Two members resigned in recent months.
