" The Law of Similars is fast-paced and absorbing. Few writers can manipulate a plot with Bohjalian's grace and power."-The New York Times Book Review
From the number one bestselling author of Midwives comes this riveting medical thriller about a lawyer, a homeopath, and a tragic death. When one of homeopath Carissa Lake's patients falls into an allergy-induced coma, possibly due to her prescribed remedy, Leland Fowler's office starts investigating the case.
But Leland is also one of Carissa's patients, and he is begining to realize that he has fallen in love with her. As love and legal obligations collide, Leland comes face-to-face with an ethical dilemma of enormous proportions. Graceful, intelligent, and suspenseful, The Law of Similars is a powerful examination of the links between hope and hubris, love and deception.
Chris Bohjalian is the author of eight novels, including Midwives, (a # 1 New York Times bestseller and an Oprah's Book Club® selection), Trans-Sister Radio, and The Buffalo Soldier—as well as Idyll Banter, a collection of magazine essays and newspaper columns.
His work has been translated into seventeen languages, been published in twenty countries, and twice become acclaimed movies, ("Midwives" and "Past the Bleachers"). In 2002 and he won the New England Book Award.
"A fast, fascinating read...."--Denver Post
"Bohjalian seems to have hit his literary stride with Leland Fowler, whose voice is intimate, credible, and sure in illuminating the shadows of his soul.... Once opened, The Law of Similars is a hard book to put down."--The Boston Globe
"Bohjalian [has] a distinctive narrative voice, [an] artful hand with dialogue, and [a] disarming gift for taking the reader into his confidence."--Vermont Sunday Magazine
Praise for Midwives:
"A writer of unusual heart."--The Boston Globe
"This skillfully constructed, fast-paced novel is not only beautifully written but also as hard to put down as any old-fashioned thriller.... This astonishing story will keep readers up late at night until the last page is turned."--Washington Post Book World
"Superbly crafted and astonishingly powerful.... It will thrill readers who cherish their worn copies of To Kill a Mockingbird."--People
"A treasure.... It is a rare pleasure when a finely written novel also grips us with sheer storytelling power."--Portland Oregonian

Supernatural Round Table: "Defending Your Life"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
Welcome to the latest edition of the Supernatural Round Table!
Following an episode that placed Dean on trial for his sins, panelists Carissa Pavlica, Kate Moon and Sean McKenna have gathered below for a dissection of "Defending Your Life." As always, reader feedback is greatly encouraged. Let's get right to it, shall?
Does it feel weird that the brothers are back to working cases?
Carissa: No. I've always loved their case of the week episodes. Some of them were my favorites. It's time for them to regroup a little, deal with their magnificent issues and kick some supernatural ass.
Kate: Actually, it feels pretty natural. This season's been all about returning to basics and the brothers are going back to their roots. I also like that it's interspersed with the larger Big Bad Leviathan of the season so that there's still an arc.
Sean: I agree with both of you. Working cases was how it all started and stepping back to explore what gave the show that initial life while combining it with a major long story arc is certainly keeping me interested.
Did you enjoy the return of Jo?
Carissa: No. She had a horrific death but she keeps being resurrected. I just want her to rest. Or come back for good. Their choice.
Kate: I don't think Jo was used in a way that was entirely effective. Was it to try to make Dean feel guiltier or alleviate his guilt? Although Jo's ghost told Dean that she didn't blame him for anything, I didn't get a sense of resolution. But I guess that means the door's open for us to see more of Jo!
Sean: I didn't hate her return, but it was certainly underused. It's too bad she didn't come back from the dead because even in her few short scenes with Dean, I was noticing sparks between them. Can ghosts give off sparks? There were sparks.
Do you think the third witness would have actually been Amy?
Carissa: With all of the casualties in his line of business, his latest hardly seems to be one of the most important. It would have been silly for it to have been Amy.
Kate: Osiris certainly seemed to imply that it would be Amy. I think for Dean, Sam is always the biggest priority, so the third witness would be someone he feels a large amount of guilt towards with a strong connection to Sam. At the moment it makes sense that it would be Amy; Dean feels guilty about killing her and lying to Sam.
Sean: I think because his most recent guilt involved killing Amy and betraying his brother, it seems easy that Amy would be the third witness. However, he was rather surprised by the first two, so that third could be any guess. In the end it didn't matter, because Dean held a lot of guilt and that was Osiris' point.
Is Dean still sentenced to death when Osiris returns?
Carissa: I really didn't like Osiris at all. I found him annoying and their attempt to make him amusing failed. All I know is that Dean has already died multiple times, and if Osiris carries out Dean's death sentence, it won't be permanent unless it's the last episode. Even then...I think the Winchesters will live forever in some way or another.
Kate: Probably, as long as Dean carries all that guilt on his shoulder. But when Osiris returns, won't Dean be dead by then anyway? Let the space cowboy hunters deal with it!
Sean: You mean if Osiris returns, because frankly, he could become a dropped plot point. Plus, I'd hate to think that that's how Dean dies. Kind of a lame way to kick the bucket.
Will Dean's guilt continue to hang over him for the rest of the season?
Carissa: I think it will hang over him for the rest of his life. He's always hated the possibility of hurting innocents, and he's getting confused between good and evil since the Winchesters spend so much time walking the line. I need to jump into the TV and take care of him. Be back...or not!
Kate: I agree with Carissa. Dean will continue to feel guilty and responsible until the end of the show. Although he's constantly saving the world, he just has a chip on his shoulder; it wouldn't be Dean without the denial. Can you even imagine a chipper, happy Dean?
Sean: Probably, but I'm interested to see how much it will grow once Sam finds out that he killed Amy. Is another Winchester brother separation on the way?
I forgot to mention that I do not like the "new" Sam either. It makes him kind of wimpy...
I also love this show...BUT I do not like the current story line. These new creatures were written as unstoppable, that leaves one cnclusion: the men must die and the series must end. That would be a tragedy! 'Supernatural' needs to progress much like "Buffy", "Angel" and "Charmed" before them.
First I like how they are getting back to hunting creatures without so many demons and angels
Second, Yes Jo did have to come back. We all know that Dean feels terribly guilty over Jo and Ellen. You could always tell Jo and Dean could be closer if they would just give in, the thought I think scared both of them.
The third witness should have been Amy. Dean was still feeling the guilt and for her to show up would have just made it worse
Dean will never truly die, after all it's "supernatural"
And here's a plot twist we have all thought of: Is Amy really dead, Her son went over to the body. Could He have stopped her death?
Supernatural is a great show. The characters are well written, even though some of the stories are weak. Most of the stories are enjoyable.
Okay, this may have been mentioned before, but WHERE is Chuck!? Is he ever coming back? Oh, and wtf happened to Sam's look nowdays? He looks like one of those broody, oh so pretty twats from Twilight now? It's disturbing.
I still find it hard to beleive that Dean killed Amy. You think he would have trusted Sam's instincts.
I love the boys. I hope the show never ends, but if it does they will go out with a bang. And I wouldnt have it any other way. Dean will always feel responsible he is the older sibling, its natural. Sam will always be the bleeding heart, thats who he is. And as for a separation, its poaaible but its never for long. They are family. Thats always been the most important thing for them, and like it or not the separation wont be for long.
i like this season cause there going back to doing cases and just saving a family or a small town not the whole world.
Osiris won't be back for 200 years as Kate said, but if the boys are killed it will be permanent, Carissa, the only reason they were brought back from the dead in the past was because the angels wanted to use them as vessels.
this season is dry

The Philippine central bank will gauge the impact of this year's two interest-rate cuts when it assesses monetary policy at this week's meeting, Governor Amando Tetangco said.
The bank's policy "remains appropriate, but we need to see how past policy actions are filtering to the economy," Tetangco said in an e-mail reply to questions before the April 19 meeting. "We will also review our forecasts and make further sensitivity analyses to account for possible second-round effects" from developments such as demands for increases in transport fares and wages, he said.
Philippine bonds fell the most in three weeks and the peso declined as Tetangco's comments reinforced the view that Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will refrain from cutting borrowing costs further. All 17 economists in a Bloomberg survey predict the central bank will keep its overnight borrowing rate at 4 percent this week, even after inflation in the Southeast Asian nation unexpectedly slowed to a 30-month low of 2.6 percent in March.
Monetary authorities will consider exports and inflation along with the "dynamics in credit growth, asset prices and expectations on oil price movements" during the meeting, Tetangco said. Remittances sent home by Filipinos overseas rose 5.8 percent in February from a year earlier, faster than the 5.4 percent pace in January, the central bank said today.
Reserve Requirement
Bangko Sentral cut its benchmark rate by a quarter of a percentage point at each of its past two policy meetings, taking the benchmark rate to 4 percent, which matched a record low. It cut banks' reserve requirement this month to 18 percent of deposits from 21 percent to ensure the impact of changes in rules covering the funds would be neutral.
The yield on the 12.375 percent peso bond due February 2015 rose 11.3 basis points to 3.93 percent, increasing the most since March 21, according to noon fixing prices from Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp.
"Pausing is the right move as regulators assess developments in the U.S. and oil prices," said Ricky Cebrero, head of treasury at Philippine National Bank (PNB) in Manila. "Authorities will ensure that economic growth momentum, which is still fragile, is supported while closely guarding inflationary pressures that may be present."
Jeepney Fares
The government increased the minimum fare in jeepneys, a common form of Philippine public transport, by 6 percent to 8.50 pesos ($0.20) last month. The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines sought a 90-peso increase in minimum wage, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said on March 16.
Crude oil extended declines, falling as much as 0.9 percent in New York after a 0.5 percent drop last week.
Philippine inflation, targeted to average between 3 percent and 5 percent this year and next, remains manageable, Tetangco reiterated on April 4.
"The policy rate is optimal for BSP now; we don't think any further cuts nor hikes at this stage are warranted," said Enrico Tanuwidjaja, a Singapore-based senior currency analyst at Malayan Banking Bhd. (MAY) "Inflation can be kept at bay if the exchange rate policy is slanted towards keeping the peso less volatile and generally appreciating with Asian currencies."
The peso closed 0.3 percent lower today at 42.778 per dollar after completing four weeks of gains on April 13, according to Tullett Prebon Plc.

Illinois denies 3 hospitals tax exemption
By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer August 16, 2011 12:52PM
Updated: October 19, 2011 4:17AM
The Illinois Department of Revenue has denied property tax exemptions to three hospitals and is reviewing applications from 15 others, officials said Tuesday, signaling that the state plans to get tough on nonprofit hospitals it believes operate more like businesses than charities.
At stake are millions of dollars in tax revenues that the hospitals could contribute to cities, parks and schools by paying taxes.
Northwestern Memorial's Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood, Edward Hospital in Naperville and Decatur Memorial Hospital in Decatur were informed of the decisions Tuesday morning, Revenue Department officials told The Associated Press.
They follow last year's Illinois Supreme Court ruling that found a central Illinois hospital wasn't doing enough free or discounted treatment of the poor to qualify for an exemption, obligating it to pay $1.2 million in local property tax payments per year.
The hospitals have 60 days to ask an administrative law judge to review the decisions. In Illinois, property taxes are collected by county governments, and the Department of Revenue decides which institutions are eligible for tax exemptions.
Illinois Hospital Association President Maryjane A. Wurth said in a statement that she was disappointed and "deeply concerned" by the preliminary rulings, and worries the hospitals will be forced to reduce services and increase costs for patients and employers.
"Hospitals in Illinois are vital community resources that deserve tax-exempt status, treating patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and providing services to thousands of people who do not have the financial means to pay for the treatment they need, and providing billions of dollars in benefits to their communities" Wurth said.
Edward Hospital released a statement saying it planned to "mount a vigorous defense," adding that it contributed $77 million in charity care and community benefit programs last year. Representatives for the other two hospitals said they could not immediately comment.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said she "applauds the state" for the decision involving Prentice, adding that "many institutions in Cook County" provide "a paltry amount" of charity care.
There is no state money involved in the property tax decisions, but cash-starved local governments could benefit if the hospitals end up paying taxes. About 15 other health care systems are awaiting decisions on tax exemptions for hospitals throughout the state, said Mike Klemens, manager of policy and communication for the Department of Revenue.
The department used guidance from the Illinois Supreme Court's decision, previous court cases and the state constitution to determine whether the hospitals qualified as charitable institutions, officials said. There was no dollar amount or percentage of revenue used as a threshold.
"The question for us is: Is it a charity or a business? Is it Motorola or is it a soup kitchen?" Klemens said.
But Mark Deaton, an attorney for the Hospital Association, called Klemens' analogy "astonishing and frightening, because that's just absolutely not the test for a charitable exemption."
There is no clear rule about how to measure a hospital's level of charity care, but the primary requirement is that tax-exempt hospitals "dispense charity to all who need and apply," Deaton said. He said the amount of charity care can vary between hospitals, communities and years, and the percentage will probably be lower in more affluent communities even though the hospital might be serving many patients who cannot pay.
"There almost could not be a worse time for the administration to take this action, when hospitals are being pummeled by Medicare cuts, Medicaid slowdowns in payment and an economy that's struggling," Deaton said.
It's not clear how much the three hospitals in Tuesday's action would have to pay in taxes because the property hasn't been assessed.
In justifying their hospitals' tax-exempt status, executives say they do much more for the community good than the charity care they provide. They also note that Medicare and Medicaid rates are so low that they don't cover a hospital's costs.
In the case of the three hospitals, all have for-profit entities in their ownership chains, Klemens said. They all charge fees for the health care they provide and documented no charity care on their financial statements, Klemens said, although they reported charity care figures in other records.
The Northwestern Memorial decision was based on its 2007 application for its newly constructed $450 million women's hospital. The Northwestern system had $1.17 billion in net patient revenue in 2007, according to Klemens. Northwestern reported charity care totaling 1.85 percent of its revenues.
Edward Hospital's application for tax exemption in 2007 was submitted after its property was subdivided. The hospital in Naperville had $448 million in net patient revenue that year and reported charity care equal to 1.04 percent of net patient revenues.
Decatur Memorial Hospital's 2006 application for tax exemption came because of an ownership change. The hospital had $252 million in net patient revenue that year and its charity care amounted to 0.96 percent of that.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled last year that Provena Covenant Medical Center in Urbana didn't do enough to deserve a property tax exemption. Backing a state decision to repeal Provena's exemption status, the court said the hospital provided minimal free or discounted care, did little to advertise its charity care and used tough tactics to go after unpaid bills.
In 2002, the year in question in the Supreme Court case, the Urbana hospital's charity care was valued at 0.7 percent of the hospital's revenue. That was about $270,000 less than the $1.1 million in tax exemptions the hospital would have received. The hospital has been paying about $1.2 million in local property taxes since the decision.
The Supreme Court also said Provena didn't lessen the burdens of affected taxing districts in performing their functions.
Associated Press writer Tammy Webber contributed to this report.

Reps summon CDS, service chiefs over abducted Chibok school girls
The House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh and other Service Chiefs, over the remaining abducted school girls in Borno.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that no fewer than 273 girls were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno, by suspected Boko Haram insurgents two weeks ago.
NAN learnt that of the number, 43 of girls escaped from the captors unharmed.
However, the house at the plenary urged the security agencies to expedite action in rescuing the abdicated girls.
It further urged National Emergency Management Agency to provide relief materials to those whose houses and shops were destroyed during the incident.
The house also urged government to seek for foreign assistance in rescuing the girls.
This resolution emanated from a motion by Rep. Peter Gumtha (APC-Borno), which was unanimously adopted.
Gumtha said that 43 girls abducted escaped from their captors while 230 were still in captivity.
According to him, rescue effort was hindered due to the neglect of the 50km untarred Mbala-Chibok-Damboa Road.
He said that up till this moment, the parents of the girls were yet to receive any reliable information from the security agencies about their children.
Rep. Robinson Uwak (PDP-Akwa Ibom) said that the country's security system should be scrutinised.
He, however, attributed the security lapses to the low morale of the military who were currently engaged in fighting the insurgents.
Uwak and Rep. Nnenna Ukeje (PDP-Abia) stressed the need for Nigeria to collaborate with other countries to check the boarders with the view to rescuing the girls and to fight insurgency.
Rep. Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi (PDP-Enugu) said unless there was synergy between West African countries the situation would be helpless.
Contributing to the debate, Rep. Samson Osagie (APC-Edo) urged the government to do everything within its power to rescue the remaining girls from their abductors,
Rep. Farouk Lawan (PDP-Kano) said in spite of the presence of the military in Borno and Yobe, terrorism activities were still high.
Meanwhile, Reps. Francis Ezenwa, formerly of the APGA-Imo and Charles Odedo formerly of (APC-Anambra), defected to the ruling PDP.(NAN)

5 Cities Vulnerable to the Next Bursting Bubble
Lincoln, Neb.
Unemployment rate: 4.1%
Largest employer: The University of Nebraska
As a state capital, Lincoln is usually shielded from the worst effects of bubbles and recessions. As with other state capitals, including Austin, Texas, and Madison, Wis., however, a big part of its stability comes from housing the state's university.
The University of Nebraska employs nearly twice as many people in Lincoln as the state government, and while it's a big part of the reason Lincoln's unemployment rate has fared relatively well compared with that of the rest of the country, it's could also be a weakness if higher education costs ever find a ceiling. According to the nonprofit College Board's annual study of college costs, the average tuition and fees at U.S. public universities have increased at an average of 5.6% per year beyond the rate of inflation. That includes a 9.3% increase in 2009-10 at the height of the recession. As enrollment at state schools rose 33% within the past decade, per-student appropriations dropped 19%
This comes as student debt sets records, with 55% of public college students borrowing and owing an average $19,800. Critics such as PayPal (EBAY) founder Peter Thiel considers it a bubble and believes the situation arose because the college degree is "overvalued."He and his Founders Fund partner picked 20 students under 20 years of age and will pay them each $100,000 to drop out of school and start a company instead. He feels it's a step toward bringing success to more than just those who can afford the price of tuition. Detractors in higher education and elsewhere see value in the position -- but also potential doom for their institutions. When those institutions employ large swaths of a city's populace and are under attack, including from low-cost competitors among two-year institutions and a burgeoning online education industry, towns such as Boulder, Colo., Ann Arbor, Mich., and, yes, Lincoln have reason to be concerned.

Whether to try an insanity case before a jury is a tricky decision for the attorneys involved, says former Denver District Court judge Christina Habas. In her nine years on the bench, she oversaw two first-degree-murder insanity cases. One resulted in a jury trial and the other didn't. The case that wound up before a jury ended with a guilty verdict and a life sentence for the defendant.
"Many times, just because of the pure depravity of the act, jurors have difficulty with a [not guilty by reason of insanity] plea," says Habas, who is now a civil trial lawyer with the Denver firm Keating Wagner Polidori and Free. (Habas is not directly involved in the criminal case against Holmes, but she is representing several victims in a civil lawsuit against the owner of the Aurora theater.) That's especially true given the disparity in punishment, she adds. "The stakes are very high when you have the difference between a lifetime in prison and potential life at the hospital."
The two cases that Habas oversaw both involved nineteen-year-olds killing complete strangers for seemingly no reason. But the similarities end there.
The first case began in March 2004, when Amber Torrez was arrested for murdering an Ethiopian cab driver named Masfin Gezahan. According to news accounts, when the cops arrived at the scene, they found Torrez nearby; she had blood on her clothes and was trying to hide a knife in her jacket pocket. A month and a half later, she picked up a second murder charge in the killing of John Hand, the founder of Colorado Free University, who had been murdered the day before Gezahan.
Police suspected the crimes were linked because of the way the victims died: Hand was stabbed thirty times and Gezahan was stabbed 39 times. When investigators found Torrez's blood in Hand's apartment and on the sidewalk — and realized that she'd used his credit card at a convenience store — she was charged with his murder, too.
Early on, Torrez asked the judge for permission to fire her public defender and skip straight to sentencing. Instead, she was ordered to undergo a competency evaluation. Torrez told the psychiatrist performing the evaluation that she was an assassin hired by the U.S. government to lead a band of 700 killers called Shadow Angel Industries, according to news accounts. She believed the murders of Hand and Gezahan were sanctioned by the government.
Although Torrez suffered from delusions, Habas found that she understood what was going on and was competent to proceed. Throughout the case, Torrez repeatedly told Habas that she wanted to plead guilty and receive two life sentences. "I started every court hearing by saying, 'We can't do that today,'" Habas recalls. Torrez's public defenders thought a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity was more appropriate, and to help Habas decide whether the attorneys could enter an insanity plea against their client's wishes, she ordered Torrez to undergo a second evaluation to determine if she was insane when she fatally stabbed the two men.
A psychiatrist at the state hospital found that Torrez had indeed been insane, and Habas entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. A second sanity assessment returned the same result. Torrez told the psychiatrists that she was on a mission to kill robbers, rapists, prostitutes and johns. She said she murdered Hand because he tried to pay her for sex and Gezahan because he picked her up in his cab and asked if she wanted to "make some money." Torrez reportedly told the doctors that she understood that mainstream society would condemn her actions but felt she had "a higher calling."
It was that last statement that gave veteran prosecutor Bonnie Benedetti pause. Although all of the psychiatrists said Torrez was insane, Benedetti thought otherwise. Since there were no facts in dispute — just opinions as to whether Torrez was insane — Benedetti agreed to forgo a jury trial and hold a trial before Habas instead. At that trial in August 2006, "I argued that she was sane," Benedetti says. "The reason I did is because she was able to say, 'Society may not think I was right but I did.' She was able to distinguish that her behavior, under regular standards, was wrong."
Habas disagreed. She found Torrez insane and sentenced her to the state hospital.
But two years later, Benedetti was once again in Habas's courtroom prosecuting a first-degree-murder insanity case — one that ended much differently. The defendant, nineteen-year-old Ahmad Clewis-Green, was accused of killing a prostitute.
He told the police that he met Esperanza Soledad Pardue at a park in October 2008, and that she agreed to follow him to his downtown apartment and have sex for $10. Afterward, when she asked for the money, Clewis-Green beat her to death with a lead pipe. At some point, he wrote the phrases "I use this girl to awake" and "blood dragon" on Pardue's body in marker and then wrapped her body in a plastic shower curtain and stuffed it in a barrel. Clewis-Green used his skateboard to wheel the barrel to an alley a few blocks from his apartment, where it was found by a maintenance worker.

My take on people like this? haul their ass out east of Pueblo about 40-50 miles on the prairie, stake them naked over a fire ant nest.
Screw insanity defense, nuf said, no hand wringing, a painful miserable death.
Pleading insanity is a real gamble for a defendant; it means he has completely given up on an alibi, on denying he did it, on suggesting that there was justification or mitigating circumstances, etc. He is openly admitting that he committed the murder and his one and only defense is that we should take pity on him because we are willing to believe he is sick.
This defense very seldom works in the real world. In addition, there are are least two conflicting standards - the old M"Naughton Rule that he was so crazy that he didn't even know what he was doing - and the newer Durham Rule that he knew but really really really couldn't stop himself. Either one is a real high hurdle.
Considering that the 'reward' for a successful insanity plea can be a lifetime locked in a psych ward - where he would have even fewer legal rights than if he were in prison - this defense is trotted out only for cases with a life or death sentence. Frankly I think a lot of jurors are saying to themselves, "I don't care that he hears voices or sees phantoms. I don't want this guy ever turned loose even twenty years from now. Since I don't trust bleeding heart shrinks, I'd rather send him where he'll be locked in a cage forever or put to death."
Stop lying. You couldn't kill a cockroach if it was crawling right up your schnoz.

There are many people in this world who have never even seen someone
who is floridly psychotic. Then again, some people have witnessed
bizarre behavior & not understood what they were seeing. This
frequently happens when Law Enforcement encounters those with altered states of consciousness.

Here is another video, specific to the Unabomber. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUDDaKi9nGw
The fact someone could choose to plead insanity, in itself suggests intelligence. Most people who are truly insane are pitifully unaware of being so.
I was on the Clewis Green jury. We made the right decision, he clearly understood his actions were wrong evidenced through his own taped confession. He is mentally ill, he was also sane at the time of the crime. These things are not mutually exclusive, which Kossie-Butler seems to not understand.
He was mind controlled like McVeigh
If they know they are insane by the acts they do then they are competent to die for what they did.
They get pampered instead of hard labor. If they are so mentally ill then hard labor won't hurt.
... typical ignoramus, confuses intelligence with insanity.
Most defendants enter a plea based on the advice of their legal counsel, not their own intelligence or excellent decision-making.

Combine the paprika, chipotle powder, garlic powder, and thyme in a small bowl and mix to blend together. Coat both sides of both tilapia with the spice mixture. Allow to rest for about 10 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place both tilapia in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip gently and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes. The fish is done when the center is white and opaque. No part of it should be translucent. The fish will break apart easily when cooked so be careful when placing it on a plate. Serve with peanut sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy immediately with veggies and/or pasta with the peanut sauce!

new tires for a 2005 subaru forester x
what type of tires do you recommend for our 2005 subaru forester x
sennat Posts: 1Second the recommendation for the Nokian WR-G2. I installed on my 03 Forester in Minnesota last fall, and we're having a mega-snow winter. The Forester/Nokian combo is unstoppable.
My previous tires were the Nokian WR, great tire also but wore out in 30K miles. I left them on year-round.
There is not a lot of clearance fore and aft in the wells, so you will not be able to up-size by much... maybe 1" of diameter. I think the stock size on that car is 215/60/R16, so another inch takes you to what, 215/65/R16. You might get away with 225/65/R16. It really all comes down to what the car will tolerate without rubbing. Stock on the 2009+ is 225/60/R16 (about 1/2" larger diameter than yours), and I am confident that could be interchanged with the older models.
As far as a lift kit goes, I cannot help you...2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I ran 225/60R16s on my 1998 and it never rubbed. Stock size was 215/60R16.
That's not a big difference, though.
Not sure about the 06s, but I doubt there is any less space in the wheel wells
The Aussie Forester owners would swear by Lovell Springs, which gave you a 2" lift. They were never sold here because Americans rarely go beyond an orchard.
Careful - some Ozzies lifted theirs 4" but they had issues with the driveshaft. There just isn't as much "slop" built in to these tight-tolerance Japanese cars.

This is just a guess, but if your Maryann is from the Springville area also, then you could possibly be of the Fullmer line who descended from Peter Fullmer and Susannah Zerfass. They were from Pennsylvania and some of their children settled in Utah. One of their sons, John Solomon Fullmer b.1807 is supposed to be buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Springville. Some of Peter's children were very active in the early days of the LDS Church, rubbing elbows with Joseph Smith and later Brigham Young in Nauvoo; (see his son David Fullmer). One of Peter's daughters, Desdemona (not sure of that spelling) was possibly a polygamist wife of Joseph Smith. My great-great grandfather's sister, Sarah Ann Follett married Peter's son Almon and settled in the Cache Co. Utah area. If you have access to the LDS Family Search Site there is a family tree for Peter and Susannah in their Ancestral File that trickles down for several generations. You can also find submitter names there. Church History Books have information about John Solomon and David Fullmer. I have a little bit of info buried somewhere in my papers. If you feel this is the family you are searching for let me know and I will share what I have. Debra

Pysanky eggs: Practice the key to creating layers of Easter beauty
Aniline dye and wax are the primary tools for creating pysanky eggs. The design is carefully drawn and masked with wax before each color of dye is applied. (COURTESY)
Luckily, you don't have to travel to Eastern Europe to buy supplies to make traditional Ukrainian pysanky Easter eggs, or to see incredible examples of the art form on display.
Pysanky is the art of creating elaborately colored and decorated eggs following traditional patterns that include religious and cultural symbols from Ukraine, according to Carolyn Carter, a pysanky artist and teacher from Gardener, Mass.
Starting with a clean, white egg that has either been hardboiled or pierced and blown clean of its raw contents, Carter uses a rubber band and a pencil to draw the lines of the Ukrainian patterns onto the egg. Once the pattern has been drawn, she uses a writing tool called a "kistka" - filled with beeswax and warmed over a candle - to coat the parts of the pattern that are to remain white with the wax.
Then, Carter starts adding color. Starting with the lightest dye first - yellow - she dips the egg into a mixed batch and waits for it to take on the hue she's after. Once the yellow egg is dry, she uses the kistka to trace the parts of the pattern that should remain yellow. On and on this process goes, working through the prism of colors until her color scheme and design is completed. And then, very carefully, holding the egg over the flame of a candle, she melts off the wax and wipes it away with a clean cloth.
"Right before your eyes the egg becomes a jewel in your hand," said Carter, who teaches classes in pysanky in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Some of Carter's favorite pysanky creations are on display at the Jaffrey Civic Center through Saturday, March 30. And folks who want to try the art form for themselves can visit The Color Shop in downtown Wilton, where all of the supplies needed to create pysanky are available.
On a table in the middle of the art supply store, there are books, blocks of wax, packets of dye, even the kistka used by traditional artisans. And of course, there are books that carefully lay out the step-by-step process and include samples of traditional pysanky patterns.
"It's pretty intricate but it's actually really easy to do," said employee Jill Day. "We began selling the supplies last year and they were really popular. People make some really beautiful things."
And because the supplies are relatively inexpensive - everything needed to get started can be had for under $30, including the eggs - it's a perfect project for both kids and adults to experiment with.

Law Offices Of Todd M. Garber Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Ambow Education Holding Ltd.
The Law Offices of Todd M. Garber announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of Ambow Education Holding Ltd. ("Ambow" or the "Company") (NYSE:AMBO) between May 18, 2011 and May 16, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Ambow provides educational and career enhancement services in the People's Republic of China.
The Complaint charges Ambow and certain of the Company's executive officers with violations of federal securities laws. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Ambow's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain of the Company's distributors did not have an adequate history of timely payment; (2) as such, the collection of resulting receivables from these distributors was not reasonably assured; (3) as a result, the Company was improperly recognizing revenue on sales to these distributors; (4) the Company was improperly accounting for certain business acquisitions; (5) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial results were misstated during the Class Period; (6) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (7), as a result of the above, the Company's financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
If you purchased Ambow ADSs between May 18, 2011 and May 16, 2012, you may move the Court no later than August 10, 2012 to serve as lead plaintiff; however, you must meet certain legal requirements. If you have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Todd M. Garber, Esquire, of the Law Offices of Todd M. Garber, by telephone at 213-700-7262 or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing is a growing yet controversial industry, offering customers the ability to learn about their genomes without the involvement of a medical professional or genetic counselor. With the Food and Drug Administration halting the sale of Pathway Genomics kits in Walgreens, UC Berkeley's gene tests for incoming students, and Congressional hearings, personal genetic testing has been receiving much public attention, often critical.
These products raise a spectrum of concerns. For example, their sales pitches often prey upon both our insecurities and "genism," the media's tendency to report overly simplistic relationships between genes and behavior or health. And some products are scientifically questionable, such as genetic tests for romantic compatibility.
