Superstar Will Smith gives the performance of his career as boxing legend Muhammad Ali in a visually amazing epic drama from Academy Award® nominated director Michael Mann. Muhammad Ali thrilled the world with his ground-breaking boxing victories in the '60s and '70s. But the man behind the legend is grappling with a tumultuous romantic life, his deeply held religious beliefs and the pressures ofstaying on top. A quick-witted, winning personality and strong friendships with close associates, including renowned newscaster Howard Cosell (Golden Globe® nominee Jon Voight), help Ali "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee." But faced with a life-changing conflict outside of the ring, the famously opinionated boxer is forced to rely on the one person he knows the best: himself.
Will Smith puts on the gloves and steps between the ropes as "Ali," arguably the most facinating personality in sports history in this biopic from Academy Award nominated director Michael Mann.
Between 1964 and 1974, the brash, motor-mouthed Ali quickly dominates his sport, meets and marries his first wife, converts to Islam, and defies the U.S. government by refusing to submit to military conscription for duty in Vietnam.

How long can House and Cuddy actually be together as a couple? It almost seems antithetical to the character and the show. — Dave T.MICKEY: Executive producer Katie Jacobs has made it clear that Huddy is not a ratings ploy; she intends to see it through to its logical conclusion. If the snuggly promo photos are any indication, at least initially they'll be aiming for true romance. But House will still be a medical drama and Master Gregory will still be very, very cranky. So for now, wipe those Moonlighting-related thoughts from your mind.

Rick Ross crashes Rolls-Royce in drive-by attempt [w/video]
Posted Jan 29th 2013 2:28PM
Rap star and exotic-car enthusiast, Rick Ross, had a double-close call on Monday morning, escaping harm in what appears to be an attempted drive-by shooting.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, Ross was driving his 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost (pictured) with his girlfriend, Shateria Moragne-el, as a passenger at 5:00 AM on Monday. An unnamed gunman in another vehicle opened fire on Ross' car, causing the rapper to turn a corner, lose control of the vehicle and eventually crash into the wall of an apartment complex. Neither Ross nor Moragne-el was injured, despite reports that "dozens" of ammo casings were found at the crime scene.
Ross had been out celebrating his birthday on Sunday night; at nearby restaurant Floridian and a club called LIV in Miami Beach. Reports indicate that the restaurant was also the target of gunfire – some 15 shots that "sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle."

China's 'CityLocal' envisions a world where everyone works from home
Tokyo-bsed studio Aberrant Architecture has created a vision of the future for prominent Chinese businessman Gordon Wu called "CityLocal," which turns China's city of Shenzhen into a progressive business model. The concept revolves around everyone working from home, but what's crazy is the lengths the plan goes to help workers make the transition from the office to the home office.
There are elevators that can be installed in homes, a transforming truck (pictured above) to simulate the experience of a cafeteria anywhere, and even treadmills coupled with TVs to make it seem like you're walking around an office. So all the things that make office life unproductive — but at home! It's the future for sure, folks.
Check it all out in the video below.

ChordsTabsTabs v2Ukulele
Diamond Day is played on two guitars. One guitar repeats a figure the entire song, whilst the other joins in at times playing two short chords. This song actually works best with a Capo on 2. Here is the main figure, repeated throughout on one guitar: CAPO 2 e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---1-----------------------------------------------------| G|-2---0-2-0---0-------------------------------------------| D|-----------2---0-2-0-----------------0-------------------| A|---------------------3---0-3-0-----3---------------------| E|-------------------------------3-------------------------| The other guitar harmonizes with the first (listen for timing) by alternating between two chords. This one is tricky to figure out, but here's my best guess (relative to capo on 2 again). Try upstroking them: D & F#m e|----------| B|-1--------| G|-0----0---| D|-2----2---| A|-3----2---| E|----------| Such a lovely song. Looks like Vashti likes to play it down a half-step with the capo on 1 (same relative fingerings) live these days. This is one of my first tabs; if anyone has any ideas on the chord harmonies, or Enjoy!

So, I got super behind on the count down activities (read: never actually started on them), so here they are.
1. Make a plan
Diet: Common sense healthy eating/Plate Method/ Sticking between certain Spark recommended ranges.
Exercise: Cardio 4x week for 30 minutes adding in ST for certain body parts (Shoulders to restrengthen after an old injury and Core to help with better posture). At this point ST is not a primary focus.
2. Update Sparkpage
Will do as soon as this is posted.
3. List the reasons you want to lose weight
I am officially at my highest weight EVER. In the last few months, I've gained back all that I lost after my accident, plus a few. I have got to stop this before it really gets out of control.
I want to have the energy I know I can have
My dogs getting fat. I once read something "If you're dog's overweight, it's time to get off the couch." Well.... it's time.
I know I can do it. I just have to DO it.
All of the other reasons: I want to feel sexy, spontaneous, healthy, vibrant, glowing. I want to know I'm treating my body as the special thing that it is.
4. What are your trigger foods and trigger situations?
Trigger Foods: Fast food ANYTHING, Cheese, Bread, Anything greasy or carby, Cheesecake
Trigger Situations: Realizing it's 6pm and I haven't thought about what's for dinner. By this point it's too late to start cooking (Kids have an early bedtime). Being out in town and hungry.
I can solve these situations by thinking ahead and planning dinner in advance. Not necessarily the day before or anything, but at least by lunchtime the day of. And I can make sure when I'm out, I have something handy to curb hunger, be it nuts or a granola bar, or something like that.
As for the foods themselves, I am not going to eliminate any food completely. This is a long haul thing, and I believe with control, there is room for any food in a healthy diet. So, I will see if the food fits into my diet plan and if not, is it worth the calories? Can a snack be swapped out somewhere else?
5. Ways to Cut Calories
This one doesn't really have a straightforward question or prompt other than listing ways I know to cut calories.
I guess, I don't know a whole lot of them.
FF dairy products, use less sugar - especially in drinks, make sure it's really hunger by drinking water first, satisfy a sweet tooth with fruit first, avoid packaged and processed "food".
That's almost half of em. But I'm getting some pain in my hands from typing, so the rest will come tomorrow - errr rather later today since it's past midnight.
Which happens to be day one of the Challenge.
This may just be my favorite video of all time.
Pittie puppy + Exercise = Extreme levels of cuteness and squeeee.
This is a video of puppy persistance. He wants to exercise with daddy, but can't seem to get he hang of it.
From the video page:
"It is so difficult to get in a workout these days. You try and make time but there's always someone hogging the treadmill at the gym.
If all your fitness efforts fail, do like this puppy, and hop alongside your workout buddy. And while paws offer the best traction for dealing with incline and speed, there is an important lesson to learn from this agressive and persistant puppy � if at first your exercise efforts flop, try and try again."
I found something today that I want to share with you.
And while I'd wager that the majority of us on SP don't do what I'm about to show you, I know some still do.
And besides, this is sudden perpective changer.
Imagine if you will...
You wake up, drinking a glass of orange juice with your breakfast. You head out the door, stopping for a latte on the the way to work.
First break comes around, you feel like you need a pick me up before lunch, so you grab a soda.
At lunch you grab a fruit punch with your meal.
Getting off work you head home for dinner, with a cool glass of sweet tea. Maybe afterward to meet some friends for a quick beer.
Sounds like a "Typical" day....
only what you don't realize is................
Is that you've drank your ENTIRE days worth of calories.... and not counted for a single bite of food.
Really makes you look at things differently, doesn't it?
#1 for my Loving Challenge today is the post I wrote for my blog. It's the first weight loss post I've put up on my blog, and I'm counting this as a proud moment because I've been wanting to add this topic to the blog since I started it. And now I have. It's about common, but very important mistakes we make. And it has nothing to do with counting calories.
I would love if you stopped by and commented on it, but don't feel like you have to!
2. Minion 2 (step son) had a major meltdown today, screaming his head off for 25 minutes straight. And believe it or not, he's not 2 or3. He's days from turning 8. (Does this ever stop??) And I didn't get angry. I kept my cool. Even though I'd prefer nails on a chalkboard over whining.
3. I'm halfway done with week one of my business course. Ahead of schedule!
4. I remembered to defrost the meat for dinner on time!
5. I made it through the day. Without going nuts. Today, this is a real accomplishment.
Almost a week down and still going strong!
1. I started my first day of class on Coursera. Entrepreneurial business class. Fun stuff.
2. I created a twitter account for the personal/writer side of me. I've had one for my website, which is dedicated to the topic of motivation, loving yourself, and such (which can be found here https://twitter.com/UncopiedLife ) but I wanted one that would express the fun, silly, writer side of me. That's here: https://twitter.com/KimThirion Of course, you don't have to click on either of those links.
3. Started reading a new book today "The Snow Angel". For fun. I'm a big reader, so ordinarily this wouldn't be anything to mention. But for the longest time anything I've read has been for learning. Time to enjoy myself.
4. I did not eat any sweets today.
5. I put down the laptop while watching tv with my better half today. Usually, I'm typing, watching, reading etc... all at the same time. It was nice to just enjoy something.
Hope your Monday went well!

Your Silver Coin Collection can Benefit from Junk Silver Coins
Collecting silver coins gives you a chance to have coins in your collection which only have the potential of increasing in value because of their condition, rarity and age, but they have precious metal value as well.
A lot of people collect silver coins just because of their intrinsic value with no thought to whether or not they will increase in numismatic value at some point.
Junk silver coins have also been an investment choice for some.
Investing in Junk Silver
Many people even include junk silver coins in their collecting for investing purposes with the intent of selling them so they can enlarge their silver coin collection. They are a good investment choice because they are composed of ninety percent silver rather than forty percent as are currently minted silver coins.
In fact, since 1965, dimes, quarters and half dollars or silver dollars have just forty percent silver, which makes then much less valuable then the coins made before this time period.
People often overlook a junk silver coin; however it is a great choice when you think of the investment long-term, because you will definitely be getting a lot in return for your investment.
Junk silver coins are often sold by their face value, so you will get what you pay for. There is a lot of silver in these coins and they won't diminish in value.
Determining Junk Silver from Collectibles
Junk silver is actually an informal term for any silver coins which are in fair condition and do not have collectible or numismatic value more than the value of bullion of the silver they have in them.
The term junk just refers to the value of the coins as collectibles, and not the true value of the coins.
Junk silver is not considered scrap silver necessarily. Since these coins were produced before 1965, you have a fairly easy way to determine which coins are and which are not junk silver coins.
Why Buying Bulk is Smart
Since bulk silver coins were created before 1965, there are no fees that are associated with buying them like there would be with silver ingots or bars.
They will be legal tender anywhere they can be spent if you need them for that reason, and the content in each silver coin is guaranteed by the Mint of the United States to contain ninety percent pure silver and just ten percent of copper.
The Popularity of Junk Silver Coins is Rising
It used to be that most people overlooked junk silver coins, but they are becoming more and more popular to invest in. Most people still don't understand the benefits which can be gained with this investment choice which is fairly easy.
The Benefits of Investing in Junk Silver Coins
Since the United States Dollar has so much uncertainty for its future value and the stability of the economic world is not looking well, people have been investing more in silver and gold as an insurance for the highly fluctuation values of paper currency.
Investments are made with the goal of making money off of them. Junk silver coins are a fairly low cost way to get into the silver market or to add it to your investment and savings portfolio.
Plus, people invest in junk silver coins with the intention of selling them so they can invest back into their silver coin collection.
There are several aspects to silver coin collecting that are worth looking into if you are interested in collecting these coins for whatever reason you intend them for.
As you can see, investing in junk silver coins has its benefits both as a long-term investment and as a way to invest back into your overall collection of silver coins.

Though the current weather is offering every indication of the contrary, spring is coming in, and the 2012-13 school year is finally beginning to wind towards its close.
The approaching end of the semester is significantly more evident from looking at the website for WMU's University Theatre, which shows that, out of the nine productions theatre students and faculty have mounted since last fall, performances only remain for two of them. But while the program prepares for their second—and final—weekend of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," or looks forward to launching the spring musical–"Kiss Me Kate," which runs April 11 – 20–they are also laying the groundwork for what comes next.
The University Theatre announced the productions and dates for their 2013-14 season this morning, alerting returning students to which shows they will be auditioning for shortly, and letting audiences know what to look forward to.
As always, the slate is a varied one. Kicking off with the Pulitzer-prize winning drama "Glengarry Glen Ross" (opening on Sept. 26), next year's theatre season will rotate through literary classics (a stage version of Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice"), the music of famous country music stars (the Dolly Parton-based "9 to 5"), fondly-remembered Broadway hits (the Tony Award-winning "Ragtime," fresh from a recent London revival), fairy tales (the puppetry-assisted "The Kind Stag"), innovative and experimental documentary theatre ("Seven," NOT based on the 1995 film with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) and more.
Check below for a full list of production selections and dates.
Glengarry Glenn Ross by David Mamet (Sept. 26 to Oct. 6)
Noises Off by Michael Frayn (Oct. 10 – 20)
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, stage adaption by Joseph Henreddy & J.R. Sullivan (Oct. 24 – Nov. 3)
Ragtime book by Terrence McNally, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, & music by Stephen Flaherty (Nov. 14 – Nov. 24)
Late Night Broadway (Dec. 5 – 7)
Seven by Paula Cizmar, Catherine Filloux, Gail Kriegel, Carol K. Mack, Ruth Margraff, Anna Deavere Smith, & Susan Yankowitz (Jan. 23 – Feb. 2)
Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo by Rajiv Joseph (Feb. 6 – Feb 16)
9 to 5 music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, book by Patricia Resnick (March 13 – 23)
The King Stag by Carlos Gozzi (April 3 – 13)
All shows will be performed by WMU students within the facilities of the Gilmore Theatre Complex. Dates and details are, of course, subject to change. Watch the University Theatre website at www.wmich.edu/theatre over the next few days for additional details.

The Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched into space 5 months ago, is designed to take direct images of planets outside of our solar system. It has stunned and delighted astronomers with a picture of a planet a thousand light years away, the first every direct photo of light from a planet not in our solar system. This system definitely holds promise for detecting planets that harbor life.
Yahoo News UK quotes Kepler astronomer William Borucki as saying that this is "the first time anyone has seen light from this planet."
Astrophysicist Alan Boss is quoted as saying, "The real headline is Kepler works." Boss states that, thanks to the Kepler, NASA expects to be able to say by 2012 if there are "lots of earths in our galaxy or we are alone."

By Richard von Busack
Swimming in a Sea of Death: A Son's Memoir by David Rieff (Simon & Schuster; $21 hardback)
The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead by David Shields (Knopf; $23 hardback)
The Inevitable is approached from two different angles: one book from a colloquial, chatty point of view, one from a deathbed witness who concludes, "The living always fail the dying." Rieff, a noted journalist, recalls the slow demise by leukemia of his mother, Susan Sontag, at age 71, during Sontag's third and final bout with cancer. (Sontag's "anti-autobiographical" essay Illness as Metaphor was based on her own painfully won victory over stage-4 breast cancer.) Rieff recalls the bravery of his irreplaceable mother—as well as her fervent atheism, unshaken by the terminal disease. He also deals with the subject of heroic methods that medicine uses to fight those rarer, more extreme cancers in cases where there is little serious hope of success, and much chance of suffering. Ironically, Sontag once suggested that leukemia was one of the few cancers that permitted a Romantic-era-type demise. ("It's an easy death," a physician friend told me once.) Being Sontag, she took the hard fight by enduring a bone-marrow transplant, and there was nothing easy about it. Without sentiment, without the false sunshine of inspirational lit, this short memoir tries to look straight into death. And Rieff does this with the same devotion to reason that marked his mother's life and art.
There's a link between these two books. Sontag was a patient at the University of Washington's hospital, and Shields teaches English at that Seattle campus. Shields takes the Herodotus approach to a history of death. Here are anecdotes of science and custom, interspersed with autobiography and memoirs of his indefatigable father, the San Mateo civil rights activist Milton Shields. At the time of writing, Shields was far along the road to becoming a 100-year-old. Among stories of the older man, and their love and rivalry, Shields sums up the current gerontological research suggesting what will keep a person as far from the Reaper as possible. Father and son are both sports fiends, and exercise is of course good. Finding God, and going to church, is one supposed indicator of a long life, or maybe life will just seem longer after all those slow months of Sundays. The Thing About Life ... is a random, charming, sometimes nattering book, loaded with trivia nuggets, on the inexorable aging of cells and the hopes—still vague—of an science-created everlasting life to come. Shields' chapter on famous last words doesn't include Sontag's last message to her son—"I want to tell you. ..." But he does report Karl Marx's death-defying last snarl: "Go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."

New NICE guidance
Since these materials were published, NICE has issued guidance on the following:
• Rheumatoid arthritis - drugs for treatment after failure of a TNF inhibitor (adalimumab▼, etanercept▼, infliximab, rituximab and abatacept▼). This technology appraisal (TA195) replaces several previous NICE technology appraisals (TA141, TA126 and TA36).
• Tocilizumab▼ for rheumatoid arthritis (TA198).
• Etanercept▼, infliximab and adalimumab▼ for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. This technology appraisal (TA199) replaces TA125 and TA104.
NICE has published guidance (TA186) recommending certolizumab pegol▼ as an option for the treatment of adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) only if:
• the drug is used in the same way as defined in the NICE TA130 for adalimumab▼, etanercept▼ and infliximab, and
• the manufacturer provides the first 12 weeks of certolizumab pegol▼ free of charge to all patients starting treatment.

Comments about California Costumes Speedway Superstar Racing Kids Costume:
I ordered this costume for my 3 1/2 year old son who is 39" tall. We ordered the 3T-4T size. Unfortunately it looks like flood season is here. We love the costume and will be returning it and reording the larger size. The sizing chart provided does not list the 3T-4T chart so .....we guessed and hopefully our mistake will help someone else order the right thing....good luck!
Comments about California Costumes Speedway Superstar Racing Kids Costume:
The fabric is VERY thin and it is extremely short. My son wears a 4T and it is about 3 inches too short.

Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Needs
The systematic review identified areas where evidence about the use of DMARDs to treat JIA is limited or absent, including:
- The comparative effectiveness of DMARDs has rarely been examined in direct, head-to-head studies.
- The effects of DMARDs on measures of inflammation and radiographic progression are unknown; their impact on JIA-associated conditions, such as uveitis and macrophage activation syndrome, has not been examined.
- The evidence is too limited to understand how patient characteristics, disease subtype, and variability in the disease process affect response to treatment.
- There are few high-quality data about the safety of DMARDs. Standardized definitions, measurement, and reporting of adverse effects associated with DMARDs are needed, together with long-term data collection.

"I wish I was old enough to breed monsters, but my dad says I have to wait till I'm thirteen to play God."Sometimes, in Mon games, the game will allow the player to capture and control creatures that a preteen hero has absolutely no business owning. A kind of Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? moment for The Kid with the Remote Control, Mon games will allow the player to capture cosmic, and other supernaturally-powerful beings. Of course, other media occasionally have gods captured by humankind as well. Don't expect this power to be easy to come by, however. A lot of Olympus Mons require that you prove yourself worthy to command them by defeating them in combat first. If this is the case in a video game, this often means that the fight against them will be That One Boss, or a Bonus Boss that isn't accessible until later in the game. Basically the living equivalent of an Infinity+1 Sword. Strangely, these beings seem to be perfectly content with their human masters, and rarely rebel. If they do, though? Be very, very afraid. See also Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?. The name is a pun on Olympus Mons, Latin for Mt. Olympus and also a volcano on Mars that's also the largest mountain in the solar system. This trope is the exact opposite of Com Mons.

Sandro Magister, the great Italian Vaticanisti, has picked up a point I made in my Averroes/Aquinas post. Now, I am not suggesting that Magister reads my blog, but I still find it strange that the Averroes/Aquinas/reason connection was not made earlier than it was and, to date, by nobody to my knowledge except Magister and I. Here is the relevant quote from Magsiter's article, which appeared in the Italian news magazine L'Expresso, no. 38, 2006, entitled, Why Benedict XVI did not want to fall silent or backpedal:
"In Regensburg, the pope exalted the greatness of the Greek philosophy of Aristotle and Plato. He demonstrated that this is an integral part of biblical and Christian faith in the God who is 'Logos.' And he also did this deliberately. When Paleologos held his dialogue with his Persian counterpart, Islamic culture had just emerged from its happiest period, when Greek philosophy had been grafted onto the trunk of Qur'anic faith. In asking Islam today to rekindle the light of Aristotelian reason, Benedict XVI is not asking for the impossible. Islam has had its Averroes, the great Arab commentator on Aristotle who was treasured by such a giant of Catholic theology as was Thomas Aquinas. A return, today, to the synthesis between faith and reason is the only way for Islamic interpretation of the Qur'an to free itself from its fundamentalist paralysis and from obsession with 'jihad.' And it is the only ground for authentic dialogue between the Muslim world and the Christianity of the West."
The rest of the article and articles that appear as the latest offering on the website Chiesa (link on the left of this page) are worth reading to see what is in play with Benedict, that this was not just a mistake, but a deliberate attempt to, in Magister's words,"The dialogue with Islam that [Benedict XVI] he wants to create is not made of fearful silences and ceremonial embraces. It is not made of mortifications which, in the Muslim camp, are interpreted as acts of submission. The citation he made in Regensburg, from the "Dialogues with a Mohammedan" written at the end of the fourteenth century by the Christian participant in the dialogue, the Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologos, was deliberate choice".
In fact, so deliberate were Benedict's words that outgoing Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, who accompanied Benedict on his trip and who, as previously scheduled, was replaced upon Benedict's return to Rome by Ratzinger confidante Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, SDB, was not allowed to preview the lecture in advance. Why? Because, according Magister, "Whole sections of the text would have been censored". Do not mistake Benedict's words as an unintended blunder, nor as a provocation to violence and conflict. The Manuel II Paleologos quote and subsequent commentary was calculated in order to request that contemporary Islam place its own limit on jihad, that they separate violence from faith, as does the Qu'ran, and that Islam reconnect faith with reason, a la Averroes and others.

Binghamton man shoots wife and then himself
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) - A parolee shot his wife in Binghamton, fled the scene and then killed himself when state troopers stopped his car, police said.
The shooting happened late Friday in Binghamton.
Police say Ted Carpenter, 45, used a 9mm handgun to shoot his wife Kimberly, 42, in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
The bleeding victim was able to give police a description of her husband, and state troopers quickly spotted his white Altima.
When troopers flashed their lights, Carpenter stopped. Two troopers told him to get out of the vehicle but got no response.
The troopers looked inside the car and found Carpenter had shot himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kimberly Carpenter was in critical condition after emergency surgery Saturday at Wilson Regional Medical Center.
Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski says that the gun Carpenter used was stolen from a New York City police property room in August 2000.
Carpenter had been paroled in late July from a New York state prison after serving almost four years on a conviction for criminal sale of a controlled substance.
"How did a guy who just got out of prison get a hold of a gun stolen 10 years ago?" Zikuski asked. "That's something we'll be looking at. Where did it come from?"

A ruling published on Tuesday has revealed evidence of possible judicial misconduct as well as serious procedural irregularities on the part of investigating judges at the Khmer Rouge tribunal, say court watchers.
By Robert Carmichael, Phnom Penh
The ruling was handed down by the tribunal's Pre-Trial Chamber (PTC), which rules on disputes for cases that have not yet gone to trial.The two international judges on the PTC concluded that the Office of the Co-Investigating Judges (OCIJ) had denied victims the "fundamental right to legal representation.
Judicial misconduct
Observers say their dissenting opinion provides the most damning evidence to date that the OCIJ, whose role it is to probe evidence against suspects and to rule on the admissibility of civil parties, had failed in its duties when dealing with the tribunal's controversial third case, which the government has openly said it would not permit to reach trial.
Clair Duffy, a tribunal monitor with the Open Society Justice Initiative, said the implications of Tuesday's ruling were "huge". "Their observations on how the Case 003 investigation has been run – in every sense – confirms what we have all been hearing, but they go a step further," she said. "There is no question in my mind that this opinion is prima facie evidence of judicial misconduct."
New Zealand victim
Tuesday's ruling followed the OCIJ's rejection in April of civil party applicant Robert Hamill, a New Zealander whose brother Kerry was tortured and murdered by the Khmer Rouge in 1978. Hamill, who is already recognised as a civil party in the tribunal's first two cases, was rejected by the OCIJ in April for Case 003 - on the grounds that he "did not demonstrate that he suffered the alleged psychological injury as a direct consequence of the death of his brother".
That same day the OCIJ closed Case 003 amid accusations they had buckled under political pressure. It soon became clear that the investigating judges had deliberately botched their Case 003 investigation. They failed to interview the two suspects or notify them that they were under investigation; they also declined to interview most witnesses or visit crime scenes; and they reportedly stuffed the case file with irrelevant documents.
Appeal and ruling
In May Hamill appealed the OCIJ's rejection of his civil party application. Tuesday's PTC ruling, which dealt with that rejection, was split along national lines, with the three Cambodian judges upholding the OCIJ's stance. That ruling means Hamill's appeal has failed, since the PTC needed to garner four votes to overturn the OCIJ's order. The Cambodian judges concluded that since the OCIJ had not charged either of the two suspects, there could be no victims, and that nullified Hamill's appeal.
However their opinion was not shared by the two international judges. In their 12-page dissenting judgement, Rowan Downing and Katinka Lahuis listed a litany of problems with the actions of the two investigating judges, Siegfried Blunk and You Bunleng, during their Case 003 investigation. (Blunk resigned on October 9 claiming political interference had made his position untenable, but Tuesday's ruling will raise questions that other forces were at work.)
In the dark
Downing and Lahuis wrote that Blunk and You had repeatedly refused to recognise civil party lawyers in breach of Cambodian and international practices, and refused to give reasons for that stance; kept victims in the dark about the case thereby preventing them from filing applications to become civil parties; and denied victims' lawyers access to the case file despite repeated requests.
"In the absence of any reason or explanation provided by the Co-Investigating Judges for not giving (Hamill's) lawyers access to the case file at this stage and given the importance for the lawyers of having access to the case file in order to lodge their appeal, we are in favour of granting their request to access the case file," Downing and Lahuis wrote, adding that would not happen in practice since they had failed to persuade two of their Cambodian colleagues to agree to that. Downing and Lahuis also revealed that the OCIJ judges had altered details in their rejection of Hamill's appeal, backdated it and put it on the file, but failed to notify either Hamill or the PTC. They said the changes to the appeal rejection were "so fundamental that they affect its very substance."
So many mistakes
In short, they said, there were so many mistakes in the OCIJ's procedures that the investigating judges should reconsider their rejection of Hamill's appeal. Duffy said donors and the United Nations – which has for months been resisting calls to investigate the conduct of the OCIJ – must now act. "I can't stress enough the seriousness of the international judges' exposure of the modification and backdating of documents on the case file, while the matter was pending appeal," Duffy said.
"The fudging of public records by any public official would ordinarily be a cause for concern, but judges attempting to cover up their mistakes while their decision is being appealed is shocking," she said, adding that failure to investigate now would look "farcical". Judge You Bunleng did not respond to emailed questions on Tuesday.
Investigate the Investigators?
The ruling will further increase pressure on the United Nations to conduct an investigation into what has gone on at the tribunal. Last week Patricia O'Brien, the UN's senior legal officer, visited Phnom Penh and told the government to stop interfering with the judicial process in Case 003 and in the court's fourth and final case, which the government has also said it would not permit to get to trial.
Anne Heindel, a legal adviser with the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam), a genocide research organisation in Phnom Penh, said the opinion of the international judges was "a breath of fresh air". "(It provides) the first judicial acknowledgment of the severe procedural irregularities that have tainted Case 003," Heindel said by email. "The politics of this case are poised to split the court in half just as its most important trial begins."
The fallout from Case 003 comes just days after the tribunal announced that its most important trial – that of the four surviving leaders in Case 002 – would start on November 21. The elderly defendants deny charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and stand accused of responsibility in the deaths of up to 2.2 million people during the Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 rule. DC-Cam's Heindel said the fact that the three Cambodian judges had voted as a bloc when ruling on Hamill's appeal did not bode well for another pending appeal: That of the international prosecutor Andrew Cayley, who asked for more work to be done by the OCIJ on Case 003.
"If the national judges will not allow a direct victim of the crimes to be admitted as a civil party – in contravention of the court's rules and previous case law – they are unlikely to allow the investigation itself to continue," Heindel said.

Ex-New Orleans mayor Nagin charged with bribery
Daily Caller
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips and gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
The charges against Nagin are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor.
The federal indictment accuses Nagin of accepting more than $160,000 in bribes and truckloads of free granite for his family business in exchange for promoting the interests of a local businessman who secured millions of dollars in city contract work after the 2005 hurricane. The businessman, Frank Fradella, pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to commit bribery and has been cooperating with federal authorities.

It's still amazes me that the two people most responsible for the Katrina problems (Nagin and the Louisiana Governor) got a walk from the media. I know it shouldn't but geezez…+3
I'll bet people are lined up out the door for the chance to roll over on Ray-Ray.+2
Crap nebula! "meteorically speaking of course" Curse you government education!
That should be metaphorically speaking, although the meteor of death would work too.+1

Taxation. Why is it not theft to force someone to pay you just because you call yourself government? Extortion is a crime, no matter who commits it, and there is no moral justification. Save all the inane comments about goods and services. Government is FORCE, period!

Why limit it to just congress? Almost everyone I know is a pathological liar. It's second nature for most people.
You want jobs? How about NO tax. But it's not theft if you call yourself a government, is it. It's a 23% cost of doing business. Incredulous is right. All taxation is theft!

Buckley Revealed
by Murray N. Rothbard
Note that Murray was 26 when he fingered Buckley.
BUCKLEY REVEALED: Review of William F. Buckley, Jr., "A Young Republican View," The Commonweal, January 25, 1952.
Buckley's article in the recent issue of this Catholic magazine is significant in its revelation of the full extent of Buckley's views. As a result, we congratulate ourselves for treating the Buckley Boom on the intellectual Right with considerable skepticism. The article is completely deplorable, and reveals the morass into which the individualists of today have sunk.
The brief article begins splendidly, with the affirmation that our enemy is the State, and excellent quotations from such great individualists as Albert Jay Nock, Herbert Spencer, and H.L. Mencken. Buckley declares that the great issue of our time is freedom vs. Statism, and sides with Spencer that the State is "begotten of aggression and by aggression." He goes on to castigate the Republican Party for offering no real alternative to the Statist power-drive. It begins to appear that young Buckley is indeed a welcome newcomer to the libertarian ranks.
But such an illusion is not destined to remain very long. It soon appears that Buckley is really, in 1952 terms, a totalitarian socialist, and what is more, admits it.
He admits that his opposition to Statism, eloquently expressed at the beginning, is merely romantic academicism. For Buckley favors: "the extensive and productive tax laws that are needed to support a vigorous anti-Communist foreign policy," and by implication supports ECA aid and 50-billion dollar "defense" budgets. He declares that the "thus far invincible aggressiveness of the Soviet Union imminently threatens U.S. security," and that therefore "we have got to accept Big Government for the duration–for neither an offensive nor a defensive war can be waged…except through the instrumentality of a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores." Therefore, he concludes, we must all support "large armies and air forces, atomic energy, central intelligence, war production boards and the attendant centralization of power in Washington–even with Truman at the reins of it all."
In the light of this errant nonsense, Buckley, considered by practically everybody (and, saddest to relate, by himself) as an "extreme individualist" must be classified as a defacto totalitarian.
This unhappy incident reveals that individualism is practically non-existent in present-day America, and that the biggest and most important defection stems from the uncritical support given to the wasteful, dictatorial policy of military-socialism that now prevails. It spurs us on to continue our analysis of foreign policy and formulate a program in that field. But it is certainly clear that our foreign policy must not be aimed at holy crusades against Communist infidels. Neither should it be based on a policy of blithely and enthusiastically taxing the American citizen in order to pile up useless armaments. Freedom and peace are inherently intertwined, and the way to preserve peace is to avoid war, not to go out of your way to seek one. The best rule for foreign policy is still the great Richard Cobden's "Peace and Retrenchment."

Traveling around the world is one of the most romantic dreams of most people. Visiting places that are so dramatically different from what your used to can be a very educational experience and at times even educational. My wife and I try to visit new places as often as we can and while doing so we tend to indulge a little (ok, maybe more than a little) . we love to see famous historical sites, dine at interesting places, and most importantly, we (she) shop(s).
It could be a bazaar in Moscow to a high fashion boutique in Paris, every place in the world has something unique and interesting to offer and we are the type to always be along for the ride. But there is something that I realized over the years on my many trips; fashion varies from place to place, but the way things are sold does not. The dresses may be different but the mannequins wearing them are the same. This is not to say that there is no diversity in the world of mannequins. There are many online mannequin store and they all have something interesting and different to offer. But the point is that they are all the same in their function. Mannequins are designed to sell clothing.
It strikes me that the way things are sold is pretty universal. This led me to think about diversity, people look different, that much is obvious, similarly there are many different and diverse styles of clothing, the uniformity of the mannequins seems to suggest that despite our differences, essentially we all want the same things, joy, happiness, fulfillment, love, security, and the ability to share that with the people around us. If there is one thing that I have learned from fashion it is to respect different people and to appreciate the differences because deep down we are all the same.

Best Meteorologist Phoenix 2012 - Ken Waters, National Weather Service
We aren't giving this guy the nod for best weather guy simply because he's got the most awesome name we've heard for a weatherman in the desert. Ken Waters has a cool title, too: warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Phoenix. He collects and interprets data from satellites and radar that allows him to predict when the next haboob is rolling into town. Waters studied weather for years before taking this job; he also served in the U.S. Air Force as a "weather officer." See a video of Waters in action.

My lab uses the common fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms mediating the cellular response to alcohol exposure. I have established a Drosophila model of fetal alcohol syndrome. My current research focuses on using this model to identify the neurodevelopmental pathways that are altered by exposure to alcohol during development, and the genes underlying those pathways. Understanding these pathways may lead to future therapeutics to treat fetal alcohol syndrome.
