Shining Some Light on Our Energy FutureWhat kind of future do we want, and what role does energy play in making that future a reality? It's human nature to cling to the familiar, but history has taught us that transformative change can occur even in a single generation.
does not necessarily reflect the views of The Atlantic's editorial staff.
Imagining the future of energy can be challenging. For one thing, it's hard to picture a world that's drastically different from the present one.
That's partly because a lot of things don't appear to change. Take the way we fuel our cars. For generations, ever since the first Model T rolled off the production line in 1908, we've filled our tanks at the gas pump.
There are more than 250 million passenger vehicles on American roads - nearly all of them fueled by gasoline. According to a May 2 post on the Washington Post's Wonkblog, last year, out of 14.5 million new cars and trucks sold in the United States, just 20,381 ran on natural gas and about 50,000 were plug-in electric cars.
Is it really possible that electric cars - or cars powered by natural gas - will become anything more than a feel-good luxury for those with the means and motivation to buy one? Even if scientists and economists are telling us, "Yes, it can be done," and even if we personally believe it might be a positive change, it's still hard to picture such a radical shift from the status quo.
Furthermore, it's human nature to cling to the familiar. As we squint our eyes and gaze into the hazy future of our energy economy, we may feel some kinship with Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess, shielding her eyes from the newfangled lighting at Downton Abbey and declaring, "I couldn't have electricity in the house, I wouldn't sleep a wink. All those vapors floating about."
Of course we all know that by midcentury, virtually every home in the U.K., Western Europe, and the U.S. was electrified. Yet this incredible transformation of everyday life would have been difficult to predict at the turn of the twentieth century, even for the most eager early adopters of the new technology.
Clearly, history has a few lessons to teach us about how transformative change can be and how quickly that change can occur. We have experienced seismic shifts in the energy landscape in the last 100 years, including the rise of the car and widespread electrification. And in the century before that, the world was turned on its head by the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution. Remembering the impact of these game-changing developments also helps us to appreciate and understand the role of market forces, public policy, infrastructure, and scientific innovation in shaping the future of energy.
Picturing the future isn't just challenging; it also tends to be polarizing, especially when it comes to complicated and controversial topics like energy. Passions too often run high and people feel compelled to pick sides.
In his excellent and evenhanded new book, The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future, Michael A. Levi, the David M. Rubenstein senior fellow for energy and environment at the Council on Foreign Relations, traces the history of the polarized battle over America's energy future back to the energy crisis of the 1970s, and explains where that history has landed us:
"Just as they did in the 1970s, Americans appear to face a stark choice. Though proponents of each path agree on little else, they largely concur that the nation must now decide firmly one way or the other.
"This view is mistaken. The world has changed fundamentally since the battle lines in the fight over American energy were first set. It is no doubt possible to push too hard on any particular energy source.
"But the fact that there are wrong ways to pursue each energy source does not mean there aren't opportunities to gain from all of them. The United States can strengthen its economy, improve its national security, and confront climate change if it intelligently embraces the historic gains unfolding all across the energy landscape."
We are in the midst of multiple energy transformations, and the decisions we make today will have serious impacts on the future. How do we want to consume energy? How do we want to conserve it? Will our primary energy sources change in significant ways? How does our national energy economy fit into the global energy economy? What kind of future do we want, and what role does energy play in making that future a reality?
That last question is really the most important one. Even as people argue over the type of energy future they think is "right" or "wrong," their passion often arises from shared priorities. As Levi explains, most people want "economic prosperity, national security, and a cleaner environment for their kids. They just disagree, often vehemently, about what matters most and the best way to deliver it."
We need to be willing to ask tough questions and take an active role, as consumers and citizens, in defining the future. After all, most of us do share common goals--and our children and grandchildren will live the results of the choices that we make today.

von Trapp History Tours
As Maria von Trapp once said, "Our life is like a beautiful story that happens to be true."
The von Trapp family's journey is a remarkable story. In 1938, just before World War II, the Baron and the Baroness von Trapp left all their possessions and estate near Salzburg. With nine children and one on the way, they fled Austria and were granted asylum in this country. Arriving with four dollars, they settled in Philadelphia and through their music, turned a family hobby into a profession as the Trapp Family Singers. They soon bought a small farmhouse in Stowe, Vermont, because the landscape reminded them of home. Here the family lived peacefully, and continued to travel the world singing. They rented out rooms at their farmhouse to skiers and ran the Trapp Family Music Camp. Maria wrote an autobiography that inspired the play and movie, "The Sound of Music", and her story became an American legend.
What was once a modest farm grew into a world-renowned resort, now overseen by Johannes, the youngest of the singing von Trapp children, and his family.

The New York City Police Department is testing out some new wearable technology by Google that will help officers quickly gather information about a suspect.
Google Glass is a computerized, Internet-connected set of specs that allow wearers to surf the web, ask directions or take photos and video.
Manufacturers say it's like wearing a smartphone, without having to hold it in your hands.
"We're in the process of field-testing that technology in a variety of circumstances, seeing where - if useful - where it might be most useful, most beneficial," said Police Commissioner Bill Bratton. "The department is making great advances, as is the profession, as is society, in facial-recognition technology. It's one of the exciting new frontiers that we've only, I think, begun to see the tip of the iceberg in terms of its full benefit."
The technology could help officers quickly gather information about a suspect.
The glasses will be made available to the general public later this year.

« Happy 233rd Birthday, Marines! | Main | Let's Talk Parasites and the Economy »
January 26, 2009
Perpetual Debt
'm sure everyone here has felt the initial rush of pleasure and the eventual pain of burden when they first created and then had to deal with credit card debt.
Financial debts are a form of enslavement, a kind of karma with interest where others enrich themselves with your unrestrained desires to have something now rather than later. It can destroy individuals and families.
So why do so many people think governments are immune to the consequences of debt? How many of you fail to understand the root cause of this planet's financial crises?
The founders of this country tried to prevent the situation America and the world finds itself in. I know, I know...it's popular to talk down on our founders, dehumanize them, usually in an attempt to avoid dealing with their wisdom...but how can we not see the prophetic nature of these words?:
"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816.
"I consider the fortunes of our republic as depending in an eminent degree on the extinguishment of the public debt before we engage in any war; because that done, we shall have revenue enough to improve our country in peace and defend it in war without recurring either to new taxes or loans. But if the debt should once more be swelled to a formidable size, its entire discharge will be despaired of, and we shall be committed to the English career of debt, corruption and rottenness, closing with revolution. The discharge of public debt, therefore, is vital to the destinies of our government." --Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1809.
"To preserve independence we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816.
"All the perplexities, confusion and distresses in America arise not from defects in the constitution or confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, as much from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." --JOHN ADAMS, letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 25, 1787
America is now trillions of dollars in debt. And our last few presidents and congresses have through warfare and social welfare increased that debt beyond all reason.
All we hear now is a constant call to add even more debt, which once again no politician is ultimately accountable for. Actions have consequences. All debts must be paid. With interest.
So if I am a little less enthusiastic than many about government being a problem solver, I hope you are not surprised. As I've said before, giving money to a politician is like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenager.
Government is the root cause of the current crises. And since government is failing to take accountability for how they opened the doors of greed to the bankers and brokers (as well as to themselves), government will not be able to solve this problem, only make it worse.
TINSTAAFL: There is no such thing as a free lunch. Debt is slavery and every vote for debt is a vote to enslave others in this life and the next and interfere with their ability to acquire spiritual freedom.
It's all very simple, really.
(Just call me Mr. Happy.)

There's one congressman who's been addressing this on the business programs - Ron Paul. The whole monetary system is debt based. Were you aware that if all of our national debt was retired there would be no money circulating in the economy?
Posted by: Broadlighter at February 6, 2009 2:17 AM
Ron Paul has been effectively marginalized by both political parties. I don't see any evidence that he will be able to persuade more than a very small minority.

Northrop Grumman Sponsors Second Year Of Collaborative Engineering Project By California State University Students
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., July 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In a partnership with two California State University schools, Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) recently sponsored the second year of a student project that successfully demonstrated the collaboration between unmanned aerial and ground vehicles.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121024/LA98563LOGO)
Photos accompanying this release are available at http://media.globenewswire.com/noc/mediagallery.html?pkgid=19840.
On June 1, engineering students from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo) and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly, Pomona) gathered at the experimental flight field outside San Luis Obispo for a flight demonstration that ended a yearlong collaborative project on autonomous flight and geolocation.This year's project built on the effort started during the 2011-2012 academic year. In the first year of the project, an unmanned aerial vehicle provided an accurate geolocation solution to a ground vehicle. The aircraft located a target that resembled a large red exercise ball, and transmitted its coordinates to a ground station, which then directed a ground vehicle to navigate to the target in the field. The program was expanded during the second year to include a second unmanned aerial vehicle whose mission was to drop a bottle of water at the location of the target whose coordinates were established by the first autonomous aerial vehicle. Similar to the program's first year, the autonomous ground vehicle navigated to the target and verified that the package – in this case, the bottle of water – had been delivered close to the target. To prepare for the demonstration, Cal Poly students from San Luis Obispo enhanced a fixed-wing remote control aircraft with sensors and a communications link, while students from Pomona developed a second aerial vehicle capable of carrying and releasing a water bottle at a waypoint determined by the aerial vehicle so that the bottle would successfully land on the target. Pomona students also made numerous upgrades to their ground vehicle. Approximately 50 students from the two campuses participated in the program, forming virtual teams to remotely collaborate on the project. "The project demanded an exceptional degree of collaboration, and the students rose to the challenge," said Eric Mehiel, chair of the aerospace engineering department at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. "Programs like this take 'learn by doing' to new levels. The advanced nature of the technology requires students to acquire and apply new knowledge that is beyond the traditional class or textbook." The program leveraged three Northrop Grumman core capabilities: unmanned vehicles, sensors and geolocation, and distributed systems integrated through software. Northrop Grumman provided supplies and designed the program's curriculum. Additionally, Northrop Grumman employee volunteers served as mentors and provided a technical critique of the student-led design approach during a midyear project review.

Human rights violations against human rights defenders:
Where injury is caused by the use of force, to instruct police to ensure that assistance and medical aid are rendered to those injured or affected at the earliest possible moment, in accordance with Principle 5 of the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials;
To ensure police officers operate on the basis of a general presumption against the arrest and detention of women who are pregnant, mothers and carers of children (including single mothers). In case of arrest and detention, the authorities must ensure that women who are pregnant, mothers (in particular those who are breast feeding) and carers of children are identified and considered for immediate release.

Important Information >>
By Tim Johnson
Here's a fun way to save money, be creative, make something useful,
and use up scrap stock: make your own picture frames. You can
start from scratch and have finished frames in a day or less, and the
only tools you need are a tablesaw and a router table. The challenge is
to create unique profiles using the router bits you already have.
The frames and instructions that follow will get you started. You
probably don't have all the same bits, but that
doesn't matter. Just substitute and experiment. You'll find that a little
tinkering yields an amazing range of profiles.
Craftsman Frame
Fab Frames
Tablesaw Picture Frame
3 Routed Picture Frames
Most frames are made using small stock, so be sure to work safely.
Always use guards, featherboards and push sticks. Never use stock less
than 12" long. Create profiles on long stock; then cut individual frame
pieces from the profiled stock. Similarly, use wide stock to create thin
pieces; rout the profile, then cut to final thickness. Rout large or deep
profiles in multiple passes, raising the bit or moving the fence in small
increments before each pass.
All the frames shown here were made by combining tablesaw cuts and profiles made with these common router bits

In the next five years, expect to see Microsoft's new operating system, Windows Vista,explode in use in public schools. A decline is predicted for Windows XP, as well as aneventual phasing out of Windows 2000. Meanwhile, open source platforms may startgetting some traction in schools, where budgets are a primary concern.
Operating Systems: Growth and DeclineGrowth From 2006 to 2011Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
By 2011, Microsoft's Vista will clearly be the dominant operating system in schools, withmore than 5 million units, while use of XP and earlier Windows operating systems willtaper off. XP will have about 1 million units, while Windows 2000 will have less than20,000. Like XP, Mac OS X will have about 1 million units. An increase of about 300,000units is expected for open source platforms such as Linux, which indicates that schoolsare increasingly finding value in open technologies.

Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi will be answering questions about their breakup on "The Bachelorette" -- and they'll be doing it together.
According to EW.com, "Bachelorette" host Chris Harrison will grill Jake and Vienna side-by-side on July 5.
Pavelka will also pop up on "Bachelor Pad" -- another "Bachelor" spin-off -- but it's unclear when that appearance was actually filmed.
The "Bachelorette" appearance will be their first interview together since their breakup earlier this month.
UPDATE: The show was taped today -- and according to Us Magazine, it was heated and Vienna stormed off the set "in tears."
iS THERE EVEN A QUESTION THAT HE ISNT A FAME WHORE IF THATS THE WORD TO USE..... HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR HIM TO BE ON ANOTHER SHOW, ON THE SAME NETWORK....... THE REALITY OF NOT REALITY.......JUST WISHED THEY WOULD ALL GO AWAY......
jake deserved to be treated better then how vienna treated him
I thought Vienna was just out for the fame when the show was airing. This just goes to show that I saw it correctly. I said then that it would never last because she never really cared about him but just wanted what he could get for her - FAME. Now that she has it, she wants out!!
i am glad that jake brk-up with vienna cause she doesn't deserve him. all she wanted was fame.
I don't think she was right for jake in the first place ! I think it should have been tennly or gia ! They were more right than here maybe he will get a second chance to find love!
I watched the interview. I really believe Vienna . i think this man has control issues. She was telling the truth about him. I think he is really gay and actually is trying his waters with women. He has no respect for women that is very apparent. He is NOt a good actor cant fool me.
For as much as I liked Jake on the bachelor, my views have changed. First, on Dancing with the Stars I thought he seemed a real jerk at times to his partner.
And based on the tv interview last night, Vienna is much more believable. She showed real emotion. Jake was hard, uncaring and at times almost indifferent. He kept talking about getting respect, but respect needs to be earned not demanded. I think that boy puts on some huge fake appearances. I could see a darker side to him.
For as much as people could not stand Vienna. I think she is pretty and smart. Good on her, doing the interview first. She was preped beautifully for that interview by someone.
There is something not right about Jake. I do believe he is emotionally abusive. He demeaned her the entire time. He used the word "under minding me." over and over. She did not and that by the way is how controlling men start there abusive cycle. He has serious underlying problems. I am so glad you could actually see through him. He tried to make Vienna look bad and was extremely ****y about it. I am all for Vienna.I have always liked her from the get go. I believe she was telling the truth and that Jake would have gone to the press first if given that chance. She had been put down throughout the entire show if everyone remembers. I do not think she did anything wrong. She was trying to protect herself from further scandal and hurt. She did not get paid for the Bachelor show, and Jake took her to L.A. when she thought she would be living in Dallas. She had no way to take care of herself. Jake got paid the whole time,the show, the Dancing with the stars and who knows what else. So yes I think Vienna should have gotten some kind of payment for the crap she had to endure. Ali is very lucky she did not end up with Jake. To a certain degree, all of the Bachlor and Bachlorette people are out for thier 15 minutes of fame. Why else would they "want to find love " on tv infront of millions of people.
They are both LOSERS! Throughout the Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars, he acted weird and he is so pompous. None of the other Bachelorettes liked Vienna so there's a message! At times I feel like this has all been a set-up so we would watch (and I did). Hollywood (and the TV audiences) seem to like Losers, so we have another two to add to the mix.
Jake came off as a bigger tool than Vienna. Much as I couldn't stand her on the show, I felt sorry for her. It's obviously his fault they broke up-does anyone actually believe he didn't want sex in a brand new relationship because of a religious fast? If you do, you probably also think "gullible" isn't in the dictionary. It just proves that he was never really into her in the first place.
Yes, she interrupted him a lot; however, his response shows what a temper he has-there was a bit of evil in there. He could have just said that they need to be interviewed separately so he could speak-instead he pretty much blew a fuse.
He's a bigger fame whore than she is. It is expected that most contestants on the show go on it for fame, but the bachelor himself not so much.
He has the personality of a gnat. When I watched the show I remember thinking he was sweet but very boring. It was even worse on Dancing with the Stars-he ranked right up there with Gosselin in terms of showing emotions. There's a reason his acting career never took off; he can't act. Don't quit your day job, Jake.
I truly believe Vienna, she was so angry about what Jake was saying he is a cold hearted ass. He has shown that he is an abusive man, she did not need to be in that kind of relationship. He showed that he is a controlling man, during that interview in the bachelor I truly believed that there was going to be some fisical confrontation...
love jake pavelka he is not a jerk he's totally hot even i'll take him for myself as my boyfreind

In recent times, there has been a great awakening of people's minds as greater awareness is being created about eating right to live a healthy life. Fast food and meals grabbed on the go are not the best solutions to healthy living; healthy cooking is. Right, let's not faint at the thought of finding the time to cook on top of everything else. Surely, your continued good health is important enough to make the time.
The following information will serve to reinforce the fact that properly planned meals and healthy cooking will help you keep a host of illnesses at bay. With a little effort and planning, it is possible to eat nutritious food and stay healthy.
We all know how difficult times are with the economy in a slump and money not stretching as far as it should. Here are a few tips to stretch those dollars so you and your family eat healthy meals.
All the health experts agree that fruits and vegetables are the best food sources for a healthy body. Now, fruits and vegetables do not need to break the bank every time you go grocery shopping. Choose the fruits and vegetables that are in season, they will not be as expensive as the out of season ones. Often, grocery stores will put fruits and vegetables on sale. Choose these items and plan your menus around them.
Buy meats and poultry in bulk for the week and cut them into portions for freezing. You can also wash, dry and freeze fruits like strawberries and most types of vegetables as well.
Avoid buying foodstuff simply because it's cheap; we need to check the fat content and sodium content. Avoid artificial sweeteners and preservatives and buy as natural as possible.
The internet is filled with websites offering handy tips on how to reuse cooked food and avoid wastage. If you find that the veggies are starting to go bad, chop off the squishy bits, rinse thoroughly and use in stews. With fruit that is about to go bad, you can use them up in healthy shakes that can be consumed for breakfast. Not many people are aware that bananas kept in the refrigerator stay good for a longer time. The skin will turn black, but the fruit remains good.
Grocery stores offer dollar store and salvage store sections where produce can be purchased at rock-bottom prices. The variety of products on offer is constantly changed, so your menus don't have to be stereotypical.

Starting on Feb 15 2012. 2 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

I took the first yesterday afternoon, some coach has known me since I have been there for practising several years ago. This time I have a goal, and I attend a lesson that can take to black belt in three years. The coach told me that I have to take classes at least three times per week, I promised it and asked them also to supervise me and be strict with me. I hope I can have an improvment soon. 3 years ago
I'm currently a member of the ITF (International Taekwondo federation)but had to stop attending sessions due to other financial needs. I used to, and will again, study under Darrin Bodfield a 8th dan black belt international instructor from Northampton.
It is one of the hardest workouts you can imagine and one of the most for-filling things a person can do. Regardless of age and fitness you can join a Taekwondo school as long as you have the correct insurance, which a good instructor should set up for you. Just have a search in google for groups in your area and give them a call, most instructors charge around 30 quid a month, so if you can afford it, stop talking about it and do it! 3 years ago
i wonder if im too old to start
i am a bit of a slob un atheletic and outa shape (well dead skinny…)
you guys think maybe is hould join a gym n get a bit fit before tryin this out ? 4 years ago
I started taking Tae Kwon Do while in high school. It was a lot of fun and it was challenging. I studied Mudukwon Tae Kwon Do and earned my second degree Red belt (just one belt away from black). I have to say that this is one of my proudest achievements in life. After my second year in college I had to give it up because of my financial status and the inability to find a school that met my expectations. I wish I was still doing this and Will get my Black belt before I die. 5 years ago
I took my very first class today. It seems to be me and a bunch of school kids and I've a feeling my Korean will have to improve pretty quickly… but I loved it, just need to keep up going three times a week. 5 years ago
I was presented with my yellow belt last week. The test went well. I've learned two new forms and am looking forward to progressing. I'm having a blast too! 5 years ago
I had my black belt testing at the start of December, and I have passed. I am now an instructor, and I have been concentrating on helping families who decide to join. This has marked a very special time in my life and things are all falling together. My wife and I are now expecting a baby, and could not be happier. Tae Kwon Do has done so much for me, and I love training and instructing. 5 years ago
Had class again last night. I'm really enjoying it so far and glad I got off my ass to do it. 6 years ago

Ronald Smith is led out of the courthouse on May 2, 2012 in Deer Lodge, Montana where he made a final, personal bid to avoid the death chamber.
Credits: STUART DRYDEN/CALGARY SUN/QMI AGENCY
Last week's letter from Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird to Montana Gov. Brian D. Schweitzer, obtained Monday by QMI Agency, requested clemency for convicted murderer Ronald Smith on "humanitarian grounds."
Smith was sentenced to death in 1983 for marching Harvey Mad Man Jr. and Thomas Running Rabbit into a forest and shooting them in the backs of their heads a year prior.
He confessed to the killings.
It was Smith himself who requested the death penalty, which he would later appeal.
The Canadian government has sought clemency for Smith before.
Asked for comment on this latest request to see Smith spared, however, Baird's press secretary Rick Roth said, "Mr. Smith admitted to the first-degree murder of two Native American men."
"The court order required us to make representations on his behalf," he said. "This should not be construed as sympathizing with his crimes."
Currently, an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit challenging Montana's lethal injection protocol is keeping Smith's execution suspended.

Chapter Ten
A "Real" Feminist
Peter, my fourteen-month-old, was up all night before the closing. The trial of a woman accused of murdering her husband, who had beaten her, was two hours away in Springfield, Massachusetts. I spent every other night there, to minimize the time away from the boys. With absolutely no sleep, except a few minutes in the car, I was going on pure adrenaline.
I pace back and forth in the silent courtroom telling Lisa Grimshaw's story, a story so very far from my own:
She was the youngest of three sisters. The older two had been raised in comfort, but by the time Lisa was ten, her father was unemployed. Often drunk, he would fly into unpredictable rages. At first, the target was his wife, but soon it was Lisa. Alone with her father after school, the abuse turned sexual.
Remember the sound of her voice as she had described the pink bedspread on which he violated her. She seemed like a child, reexperiencing the pain.
At fourteen, she fled to Darryl Fredette. He was twenty-one, a batterer too, her face his favorite target. "I was the one who knocked out her front teeth!" he had crowed at trial. A son is born, Darryl Brandon Fredette, a boy so badly retarded that, within months, he was placed in foster care.
Then from Darryl to Tom Grimshaw. After moving to Miami, Tom could not find work, and like Lisa's father, he began drinking and beating her, drinking and beating. She fled; he followed.
They reconciled. But when he found out that she was pregnant, he threatened to cut the baby out. Still, they stayed together. She loved him, she said.
Chad was born, this time, a normal son. They married and soon, much too soon, there were 911 calls, restraining orders, and finally, divorce. Now Tom's visits to Chad were an occasion to torture her. Remember her testimony? One incident more degrading than the next—forcing her to have sex by threatening her with scalding water, handcuffing her while she slept, raping her when she awoke. Wherever she moved, he stalked her, found her, beat her.
Five months before Tom's death, November 21, 1984, in the middle of the night, Lisa awoke to the sound of breaking glass. She had changed the locks to this new apartment, even nailed the windows shut, but Tom smashed them open. In the fight that followed, he knocked her front teeth out with a hammer—the second time her teeth were bashed at the hands of an abusive lover.
- - - -
I pause. I bring a chair directly in front of the jury. I sit down, lean over as far as I can, and wrap my arms around my legs. This was as close to a fetal position as I could get, dressed as I was in court clothes and heels. For my closing, I will relive Lisa's story of the hours before Tom's death. I will transform myself into her.
June 3, 1985. Tom picked up Chad. They fought; she bargained: "You can have him now, but don't give me shit when I come to get him." When she returned, there was a struggle. Chad, only four, ran into the middle of the street. An oncoming car missed him by inches. Tom grabbed Lisa's keys and struck her with them. She scrambled away, grabbing spare keys and her young son.
Back in her apartment, safe for the time being, she drank and drank, sitting in a chair, staring at the apartment door.
And, as I recite these facts, I slowly rock back and forth, staring into space.
Every sound frightened her; Tom would surely break in at any minute. Then, taking on her voice, I say: And this time, he will kill me or Chad. This time he will really do it.
I shiver.
Two men, acquaintances really, came to the door after a night's drinking. Lisa had met Michael Bruyette at her job at Bo's Lounge in Chicopee. She was just twenty-three; he, nineteen. Michael Ashey, sixteen, hung out with Bruyette. Lisa complained about her husband's abuse. Bruyette, wooing her with his machismo, once threatened Tom on the phone. Lisa told Bruyette and Ashey what happened that night. Bruyette announced: "OK, that's it, let's go." In her alcoholic haze, she said, "OK."
Bruyette called the shots: Ashey's older brother, Ronald, would babysit for Chad. "You pick up Tom at work," Bruyette said. "We'll do the rest."
She met Tom as he was leaving the night shift. "I'm horny," she told him. They drove to a remote area. When they stopped, she said, "You walk on. I have to pee." Instead, she returned to her car, hands frozen to the wheel. The idea was to beat Tom, not kill him, but Bruyette and Ashey got carried away.
A very young woman, lurching from moment to moment, driven by her fear, her past, the abuse, the torture, believes that she has no choice but to fight back.
My voice breaks. I stop speaking, but rock slowly—my eyes closed.
Francis Bloom, an assistant DA in Springfield, Hamden County, stands up. He shouts. He paces. He is furious, his words dripping with contempt, as he counters:
Lisa was conniving and manipulative. A cold-blooded murderer. She had taken a nineteen-year-old and a sixteen-year-old, Bruyette and Ashey, "plied" them with sex in one case, alcohol in another, and promised them the proceeds of Tom's life insurance policy. She "lured" her husband to the boat ramp, in the middle of the night, where these two hired assassins were waiting behind a tree, knowing that they were going to splatter his brains all over the rocks.
Then he turns to the details: the officers who had found the body in the early morning hours, its battered condition, the contents of Tom Grimshaw's wallet tossed contemptuously in the dumpster en route from the Chicopee boat ramp, the brother's heartrending testimony when he described the last time he saw Tom. From what he could see of Tom and Lisa's marriage—and he saw them all the time—it was entirely normal.
Bloom recounts the testimony of Michael and Ronald Ashey in a rapid-fire narrative: Ronald, the older brother, who babysat for Chad while Lisa and Bruyette killed Chad's father, was charged as an accessory before the fact of first-degree murder. Michael, who had accompanied the others to the boat ramp, was charged as a co-conspirator.
Lisa promised them money from an insurance policy on her husband's life in return for the murder. Sure, she talked about her husband's brutality, not because it was true—but because she was manipulating them. Just as she was manipulating you.
Bloom pauses to glare at the jury.
When she told Bruyette and Ashey about the November 1984 hammer incident, she had added, "I want him dead." Bruyette was her special focus. She was sleeping with him, leading him on. Killing her husband was the return on her investment in these boys.
This was no spur-of-the-moment, no instant crime of passion. It was planned, and Lisa was the ringleader. Bruyette and Michael had picked up bats from Tom Grimshaw's house some time before the killing. She told them where to go. When she arrived at the boat ramp, she signaled them. Hardly sleepwalking, frozen, or dazed. And afterwards, when they left Tom moaning, grievously injured, she conspired about disposing of the body ("throw it in the river") and covering up the crime ("wash the car").
It was cold-blooded, first-degree murder, murder for hire, nothing more, nothing less.
- - - -
From afar, this was an easy case for me—easier than the political corruption trials that I had recently finished, easier than the runof- the-mill murder case. This was, after all, Gertner the feminist, representing a battered woman. True, Lisa set in motion the night's events, but should the law hold her responsible? Wasn't the killing committed in self-defense because of her state of mind, the psychological condition known as "battered woman syndrome," and therefore legally excused?
But it was not easy on many fronts—professional, political, and now personal. Should battered woman syndrome/self-defense excuse such an act entirely, with a not-guilty verdict, or should it mitigate the outcome with a finding of manslaughter, a lower sentence? What about other so-called syndromes that lead to killings— road rage, homosexual fear, "Twinkie" defenses? Or the "white fear" that a small white man, Bernard Goetz, claimed justified his shooting of four black teenagers on a New York subway? What about the "black rage" of any African American treated with contempt by our culture? If we exonerate one, do we exonerate them all?
I could not forget that a man, a father, had been killed. At this stage in my career, I could not pretend that the legal discourse framed all the complicated issues in this human drama.
But had I finally learned to just say whatever it took in court, what I didn't believe in, craft so totally trumping principle? No. But, sixteen years into the practice of law, I understood advocacy and its boundaries, complex reality and simple trial narratives. Trials, unlike one-sided grand jury investigations, are competing narratives, as Janet Malcolm once noted in The Crime of Sheila McGough—my version versus their version. Life, though, is chaotic; when you shoehorn it into neat stories, it is no longer, strictly speaking, the truth. Advocacy colors both sides. Lawyers are, after all, storytellers—even caricaturists—not reporters. And when the issues are complex, as in Lisa's case, the distance between a trial's stories and life's stories widens.
Still, there were limits to how far I was willing to go to separate legal argument and life—especially now that my time was more limited, my life more complex. These were not just the traditional ethical limits on lawyers. I had to believe in the cause, the person, the issues, or some combination. The label "a feminist case" was not enough. Why, then, this person and this case?

Trapped in his own body for 23 years - the coma victim who screamed unheard
Audio Report
• Misdiagnosed man's tale of rebirth thanks to doctor
• Total paralysis masked fully functioning brain
For 23 years Rom Houben was imprisoned in his own body. He saw his doctors and nurses as they visited him during their daily rounds; he listened to the conversations of his carers; he heard his mother deliver the news to him that his father had died. But he could do nothing. He was unable to communicate with his doctors or family. He could not move his head or weep, he could only listen.
Doctors presumed he was in a vegetative state following a near-fatal car crash in 1983. They believed he could feel nothing and hear nothing. For 23 years.
Then a neurologist, Steven Laureys, who decided to take a radical look at the state of diagnosed coma patients, released him from his torture. Using a state-of-the-art scanning system, Laureys found to his amazement that his brain was functioning almost normally.
"I had dreamed myself away," said Houben, now 46, whose real "state" was discovered three years ago, according to a report in the German magazine Der Spiegel this week.
Laureys, a neurologist at the University of Liege in Belgium, published a study in BMC Neurology earlier this year saying Houben could be one of many cases of falsely diagnosed comas around the world. He discovered that although Houben was completely paralysed, he was also completely conscious — it was just that he was unable to communicate the fact.
Houben now communicates with one finger and a special touchscreen on his wheelchair – he has developed some movement with the help of intense physiotherapy over the last three years.
He realised when he came round after his accident, which had caused his heart to stop and his brain to be starved of oxygen for several minutes, that his body was paralysed. Although he could hear every word his doctors spoke, he could not communicate with them.
"I screamed, but there was nothing to hear," he said, via his keyboard.
The Belgian former engineering student, who speaks four languages, said he coped with being effectively trapped in his own body by meditating. He told doctors he had "travelled with my thoughts into the past, or into another existence altogether". Sometimes, he said, "I was only my consciousness and nothing else".
The moment it was discovered he was not in a vegetative state, said Houben, was like being born again. "I'll never forget the day that they discovered me," he said. "It was my second birth".
Experts say Laureys' findings are likely to reopen the debate over when the decision should be made to terminate the lives of those in comas who appear to be unconscious but may have almost fully-functioning brains.
Belgian doctors used an internationally-accepted scale to monitor Houben's state over the years. Known as the Glasgow Coma Scale, it requires assessment of the eyes, verbal and motor responses. But they failed to assess him correctly and missed signs that his brain was still functioning.
Last night his mother, Fina, said in an interview with Belgian RTBF that they had taken him to the US five times for reexamination. The breakthrough came when it became clear that Houben could indicate yes and no with his foot.
"Powerlessness. Utter powerlessness. At first I was angry, then I learned to live with it," he tapped out on to the screen during an interview with the Belgian network last night, AP reported.
Laureys, who is head of the Coma Science Group and department of neurology at Liege University hospital, has advised on several prominent coma cases, such as the American Terri Schiavo, whose life support was withdrawn in 2005 after 15 years in a coma.
Laureys concluded that coma patients are misdiagnosed "on a disturbingly regular basis". He examined 44 patients believed to be in a vegetative state, and found that 18 of them responded to communication.
"Once someone is labelled as being without consciousness, it is very hard to get rid of that," he told Der Spiegel.
He said patients suspected of being in a non-reversible coma should be "tested 10 times" and that comas, like sleep, have different stages and need to be monitored.
Houben hopes to write a book detailing his trauma and his "rebirth".

Random musings from a libertarian, tech geek...
A friend forwarded me this pict of Blackout 2003 viewed from Space. (no source - perhaps a reader knows where to find it?)
Pretty Wild. My eyes are actually drawn to the Good here. It positively stokes a romantic like me to think about all the millions of things that have to go right in sequence to ensure / allow a picture like this to happen. Energy production, transport, metering, service, lightbulb production, glass production, tungsten production, storefronts, logistics systems, repair shops & spare parts for transport trucks, advertising, and so on. Stir & repeat >>300M times (don't forget Mexico & Canada!) and you get a picture like this visible from space.
It's only against this sea of success that the blackout becomes so striking........
Update: some Internet intrigue - is this image a fake?
Update2: The definitive answer - YES it is a fake.

The Art Program's Capacity Project exhibit on the World Bank Lending in the Health Sector was created in collaboration with the World Bank's Information Solution Group's Library and Archives of Development (ISGLA). The Library and Archives of Development contributed to the creation of the exhibit by providing the information for the timeline of the World Bank's involvement in health and the photographs from its extensive collection of development information.
Displayed in the Preston Lounge of the World Bank's Main Complex during fall 2009, the panels focused on the Bank's loans for health-related projects between 1968 and 2009. The nine panels were curated by ISGLA's Barbara Murek and designed by the Particia Hord Graphik Design. They are now displayed in the World Bank Group Archives Reading Room.
World Bank's Lending in the Health Sector
The ultimate objective of the World Bank's work in health, nutrition and population is to improve the health conditions of the people in client countries, particularly the poor and the vulnerable within the context of its overall strategy for poverty alleviation. The World Bank began its work in the health sector by focusing on population. It then moved to include both nutrition and health lending.
Today, in addition to the World Bank, new multilateral organizations, initiatives, and foundation have assumed a prominent role in financing health, nutrition and population, among them the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bilateral aid has also increased substantially. Much of this new funding is earmarked for combating priority diseases such HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and some vaccine-preventable diseases; but also for health systems strengthening at the country level, for maternal and child health, for nutrition, and for population priorities.
