This paper presents a conceptual framework for geosimulation of the New-build gentrification process in an integrated approach. The combination of Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and Geographic Automata Systems (GAS) facilitates to translate the expert Knowledge into model rules. Analytic Network Process (ANP) is considered as MCE that addresses the relative importance of criteria for New-build gentrification as a complex urban phenomenon. It will be used to determine the different weights of each parameter in every time elapse. GAS which unites Cellular Automata (CA) and Multi-agent Systems (MAS) provides an excellent tool for modeling New-build gentrification. The transition rules are proposed as a combination of land use transformation and residential decision for housing area. The land use change is based on human-agent effects (local authority, neighborhood's property value and developer) and residential decision is the adaptation of a stress-resistance hypothesis defined by Benenson (2004). The integrated approach is believed to provide a more accurate real-world urban modeling and simulation that can highlight the systematic inequalities of urban context based on the theory of New-build gentrification.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Adult entertainment performer Alex Gonz, also known as Daniel Sayago, has come forward to put to rest rumors that surfaced last month alleging he was intentionally performing while contagious with a known Hepatitis C (HCV) infection. Alex, a well-known adult filming industry veteran, has starred in hundreds of productions for various studios, including Hustler, Vivid, Pure Play Media, Score Group Entertainment, and Digital Sin, since 2003. Since the first year of his entertainment career, Alex has consistently submitted to routine periodic testing to ensure the health and safety of all performers involved in the productions in which he is cast, as well as his own. As a veteran performer, Alex is completely committed to the principles of the Free Speech Coalition and the health and safety of the adult entertainment industry as a whole. In all of his years of testing, Alex has never been told he cannot perform by FSC/APHSS/Pass tests, nor has he ever been told he cannot or should not perform due to a failed test. In August 2013, rumors surfaced accusing Alex of performing with a known HCV infection. Upon hearing the accusations, Alex did not immediately respond. "It is never easy to wake up and see your name in the news, with people making accusations about you," Alex said. "It was hard to stay calm, but I knew that instead of reacting on the spot, the most responsible thing was for me to go to a specialist and get a full examination." Alex had previously been told in a routine lab test taken in June 2013 that he tested positive for HCV antibodies, but was never told by the testing facilities that he had an HCV infection or that he could not perform. In September and October 2013, Alex took a series of blood tests and exams with his physicians, including an HCV specialist. In the past few days, Alex has been informed that he does have trace levels of HCV in his system. Because of the low viral load, his doctors are not recommending treatment. Alex has been told that any treatment would probably not be approved by his health insurance because it is not deemed necessary. It is unknown when Alex may have first contracted HCV or how. Alex is speaking out on his test results to set the record straight on the accusations that he lied or tampered with his test results, or knew he had an active HCV infection and performed anyway. "There is nothing more important to me than this industry," Alex said. "I have never lied on or tampered with any test result, nor have I ever concealed or deceived the industry with any test result that could negatively impact the thousands of talented performers I am proud to call my colleagues. I have consistently been cleared to perform by all of the testing facilities I have ever been tested at, and never been given any reason to believe otherwise." As to the source of the accusations, Alexs reaction is mixed. "What most people may not know is that I was always completely cleared to perform by the same testing facilities that I tested at for years. I am not a doctor -- I rely on the same testing facilities that thousands of performers in our community use to tell me whether I am Ok to perform or not. When a professional testing company for the adult industry specifically clears me and tells me I am Ok to perform, I dont have any reason not to believe them. I have never, ever been told I cannot perform on set for any reason, by anyone." Alex is presently under the care of his doctors, who are monitoring his health to determine if his HCV levels decrease or rise to the point where treatment becomes necessary. "I want every performer I work with to feel totally comfortable working with me. Issues like these are very serious, and need to be dealt with responsibly. I am committed to doing my part."

The Elk County Historical Society [ECHS] will be hosting their annual Christmas Exhibit/Open House at the Center House Museum at 109 Center St. in Ridgway this Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. This year's special exhibit focuses on He-Man & the Masters of the Universe memorabilia dating as far back as 1982 and Cabbage Patch dolls; one as old as 30 years and in excellent condition. Society director Mary Kalinowski began hosting the Christmas Exhibit when she began working for the Historical Society in 2007.
Elk County District Attorney Bradley J. Kraus responded this week to requests by The Ridgway Record for comment on his decision not to further investigate the death of an area woman whose family members, along with area attorney Shawn McMahon, claim died as a result of prescription drug-related complications.
This year's Elk County Job Fair will provide the area's job seekers an opportunity to meet with an array of employers representing the transportation, telecommunications, manufacturing, health care and service industries.

What Does Candice Glover Want Now That 'Idol' Is Over? Fried Chicken!
The third time truly is a charm for Candice Glover!
The South Carolina native was crowned the winner of Season 12 of American Idol, after auditioning twice before during Seasons 9 and 11.
This makes Candice the first female winner of the show since Jordin Sparks (Season 6), and she revealed to On Air with Ryan Seacrest following the finale that she couldn't "believe" the card Ryan read had her name on it. Instead, she joked that she thought it read, "I don't know? Kree Harrison!"
Candice admitted she and close friend and runner-up Kree "were saying each other's names…while you were opening up the card, so we were like rooting for each other."
Missed It? Watch All the Performances Here!
The 23-year-old added of her accomplishment: "I know, I can't even. I was like, 'Ok, Mom. I'm going to go for Top 10.' Like we did Top 40, Top 20, Top 10. And then okay Top 5, Top 3, and then when I made Top 2, I was like, 'Oh my god. I actually have a chance to win this show and then I sang and it happened."
So how did Kree and Candice keep their cool onstage? "You know how Angie has her clap? Me and Kree, that's happeneing times 50 in our minds, but we just try to be as calm and cool as we possibly can. That's just how I [am] when I'm nervous I don't get jittery, I just get really calm and really quiet."
Someone who couldn't keep their cool however was Candice's grandma. "I think my grandma fainted! I had to stop crying and look over there and be like, 'Oh my gosh. What's happening with grandma?' But she was just really overwhelmed as well about the car."
So why does Candice think she was able to become the American Idol this time, but not the past? "Season 9 I was just a 19-year-old who could sing and my parents, we used to go to Disney World every summer and auditions just happened to be down the road from Disney World and I was like, 'Oh my gosh. I want to audition for American Idol' and I had no idea who I was as a person [or] as an artist so I think I was just a singer then, but I'm an artist now and I'm nore confident now and more comfortable with who I am."
Behind the Scenes of the Season 12 American Idol Finale
Not only did Candice gain confidence onstage, but also in the fashion department. "I told the wardrobe stylist that she was never going to get me into a dress and I wore three dresses," joke the singer, who ditched her heels for flats immediately after the finale. "I can't believe that happened. And the heels! I broke my toe remember? Oh my gosh, all the stuff I went through on this show."
So will we see Candice now showing more leg? Not so fast! "I don't know if I'm ready for that … every once in a while I'll bust out a dress."
And most importantly, what music can we expect to come from Candice? "I can't even wrap my mind around the fact that I'm making one! What's happening? I'm just like a cool … laid back R&B and soul and jazz, but I want to appeal to everybody, so I can't wait to get to work on that."
Candice, who admitted she hasn't really had the chance to sleep, joked the first thing she'll do now that Idol is over: "Get some fried chicken?!"
And she deserves it!

Take Charge of Your Diabetes
This guide was written by staff in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Division of Diabetes Translation. The division is part of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Department of Health and Human Services. We work with partners who share our mission to reduce the burden of diabetes in communities.
William H. Herman, MD, MPH, was the general editor of the first book, Take Charge of Your Diabetes: A Guide for Care, printed in 1991. We asked people with diabetes who read the first book to help us make the second book even more useful. For this fourth edition of the book, we have updated the scientific facts, resources, and art.
The American Association of Diabetes Educators did a survey among people with diabetes and diabetes educators to learn what people liked and didn't like about the first book. Focus groups made up of people with diabetes were held by the Health Promotion Council of SE Pennsylvania and Casals and Associates of Washington, DC. The groups gave us valuable input to help us make later books more useful.
Important support for this book's emphasis on glucose control came from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial. Conducted by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, this important study provided scientific proof that glucose control can help prevent or delay complications of diabetes.
Dawn Satterfield, PhD, RN, CDE and Patricia Mitchell of the CDC diabetes division's Health Communications Section were the lead writers of this book. Ann Constance, Claudia Martinez, Hope Woodward, Margaret Fowke, Nancy Haynie- Mooney, Melinda Salmon, Mike Engelgau, and the Chattahoochee Nature Center also helped with the writing. Rick Hull, Diana Toomer, Melissa Stankus, and Kristina Ernst reviewed and edited the final version of this guide. Most of the drawings were provided by the Public Health Practice Program Office, CDC, some of which were modified for the book Take Charge of Your Diabetes: A Shortened Overview for Pacific Basin Island Populations through the National Diabetes Education Program. Cygnus Corporation assisted with design and layout of the second edition. Further publication support for the third edition was provided by Palladian Partners, Inc., under Contract 200-98-0415 for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, CDC, Department of Health and Human Services.

DOVER — A Strafford County grand jury has indicted a city man on 25 charges of possession of child sexual abuse images.
The Molotov cocktails were emptied Budweiser beer bottles filled with gasoline with a piece of cloth sticking out of the opening. They never ignited but the fumes did make breathing difficult for a number of neighbors. Firefighters had to transport two neighbors to the hospital for respiratory problems. |

As the ground finally thaws, flowers begin to bloom and birds serenade me each morning, my junior year of college winds to an end, and the promise of another year of adventure begins to renew itself. I couldn't possibly be more excited to begin working with ACE Adventure Resort again at the beginning of the summer season.
Winter found me trapped indoors, unless otherwise to shovel mounds of snow, working monotonous retail jobs indoor, writing essays and spending my free time on the Internet. Cabin fever is all too kind of a word for how I find myself through the cold months. Sure, snow has its beauty in nature, just as all seasons do. However, it can be a put-off. Few have found themselves trapped inside because it was just too sunny and nice outside.
And while we become busy with work and finding things to keep the time going while indoors, there is always the promise of spring, and it's ever more popular sister, summer. Nature turns up the radio on the noises that fill the air, from animals singing praise of sunshine and the new life babbling water offers to adventure seekers. As the sound of your cell phone is doomed to dull, and you reconnect with the world we are meant to love and appreciate, you gain back a small piece of whatever was frozen during winter.
When the first wave of New River water splashes me in the face, it will cleanse me from whatever stress has built up from months before. It's ironic that everyone sort of stops what they are doing to appreciate summer. Schools close, people take time off of work to take trips and travel places that they have been planning all year long, perhaps even years. Why not take trips and adventure during the winter? Because the song of summer calls your name and it is simply too sweet to ignore. Nature cannot ignore it, human cannot resist it. So as life begins to wind down for us and adventure begins to wind up, ask yourself what you would like to connect with this spring in the New River Gorge?

What it's about One of the poorest states in the country, Kansas continually votes for politicians who back corporations and the wealthy. Native son and former Young Republican Thomas Frank marvels that his state's farmers and wage-earners dig their own economic graves at the ballot box year after year, riled up by hot-button social issues that the officials they elect have little power to change.
While the environment is not the focus of this book, Frank's analysis can shed light on questions Sierra Club members have been shaking their heads about since the November election: Why would any voter who favors healthy parks, water, and air vote for candidates who would destroy them? How can we make the next day at the polls turn out differently?
Where to get it What's the Matter With Kansas is available in libraries, at bookstores, and online. Henry Holt's list price is $24.
About the author Thomas Frank was born and raised in the suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri, and earned a PhD in American history from the University of Chicago. He helped found and currently edits the Baffler, a magazine that critiques American culture. He has written extensively on politics and history, with a focus on labor and economic issues. His other books include The Conquest of Cool and One Market Under God.
Discussion questions Think of your own experience with rural America or the Midwest. Does Frank's description of the conservatives' "backlash" movement seem accurate? Does he generalize too much about the attitudes and values that lead people to vote for ultra-conservatives, or has he hit the nail on the head?
In chapter two, Frank describes the economic plight of Kansans, which he claims has been worsened by conservatives. In particular, federal policies have hurt small farmers and been a boon to conglomerates like Archer Daniels Midland and ConAgra. What, if anything, should government be doing about farming?
Frank asserts that we cannot assume people make political decisions pragmatically. On page 121, he says that backlash conservatives see politics as "a crusade in which one's material interests are suspended in favor of vague cultural grievances that are all-important and yet incapable of ever being assuaged." Do you think social issues and moral values are really what persuade people at the ballot box?
Do you think of a healthy environment as a personal benefit or a value? In other words, do you try to protect the environment for your own health and enjoyment, or because you think we have a moral obligation to do so? If you see it as a value, do you think the environment can ever become an issue that motivates as effectively as issues such as homosexuality and abortion seem to in Kansas today?
Throughout the book, Frank refers back to the progressivism of the state around the turn of the century, when the abolition and labor movements had strong backing in Kansas. Has the state's essential nature changed, or do you see vestiges of that activism in today's right-wing organizers?
How does your own religious background influence your political decisions? After reading Frank's argument about the power of the church in Midwestern politics, do you feel there's something wrong with the way religious values are influencing politics in places like Kansas, or is this democracy in action?
Can Frank's explanation for why people vote against their own economic interests help us understand why people vote outside of their own environmental interests? (For example, people who would benefit from more parks and cleaner water and air routinely vote for politicians with abysmal environmental records.)
In his epilogue, Frank argues that the solution for the Democratic Party is to end the triangulation of Clinton's "New Democrats" and get back to the roots of the party, supporting labor over business. Do you agree with his solution? How would such a strategy work, when he has shown that Kansans care little about economic issues and are swayed only by moral issues at the polls?

Tower Hamlets chief goes undercover for TV show
Local government cuts threaten jobs and services across the country and Tower Hamlets is faced with making savings of £50million over three years.
Where to cut is a dilemma but Tower Hamlets chief executive Kevan Collins has taken a novel approach to the problem.
He spent just over a week as an "undercover boss" for a Channel 4 documentary being screened this evening.
Mr Collins, 49, donned a disguise to work alongside the people delivering frontline services, such as meals on wheels, and the experience has helped him crystalize where the council's priorities should be.
He said: "I learned three things: how dedicated and passionate the people are about what they do; that we can always improve services and join them together better; and just how many of the people we support are immediately vulnerable.
"They have a real need and if we pull services back they will be the hardest hit. We need to make cuts without affecting them.
"It was a reminder of what we do, and the importance of direct services like meals on wheels. At all costs we should be squeezing the town hall and back office to save money, rather than the frontline."
Mr Collins hoped the programme will help show Tower Hamlets in a better light.
He said: "We often get a bad press because of the social problems here, so I wanted to show what we do here day in and day out.
"Although poverty is a problem, I want people to see the really high quality services we provide in difficult circumstances."
He said he was initially reluctant to sign up for the show, but found the experience rewarding.
"I took a bit of persuading to do it because I was worried it might be a bit of a stitch-up job. But I spoke to a couple of other people who had been on it, and the production team were very persuasive. It's pretty balanced and I'd urge other bosses to do it, because it's a good way to find out more about the value of your staff."
Mr Collins, who became chief executive last June, said being relatively new to the post made it easier to pass unnoticed during filming.
He said: "It was filmed in February, so not that many people knew who I was. I'd also grown a beard, although I'd had to pretend that was for charity to put people off the scent.
"I enjoyed the experience, but I don't think I'm ready to switch to a career in television just yet."
Undercover Boss is broadcast on Channel 4 at 9pm tonight.

Dear kevin, I felt so inspired and uplifted when I saw somebody from the top end of the borough actually take time out to see what the community need's,it gave me hope, im 42 years old, i was on drugs from a very young age, thankfully ive been abstinant for 3 years now, born and breed in tower hamlets, im currently volunteering with homeless people in west london, although my goal is to give something back in tower hamlets (work) apparently im not allowed because im currently living in a hostel,
Im very passionate about helping, caring for people, I like to see good in people rather than bad and strongly believe in enpowering, encouraging and pulling the best out of any situation or person. thank you so much for your encouragement. keep up the good work, god bless you in everything you do.

Abstract Detail |
Pupil size is larger when viewing indoor scenes56.436, Tuesday, 20-May, 2:45 pm - 6:45 pm, Banyan Breezeway Chencan Qian1,2, Zuxiang Liu1; 1Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2University of Chinese Academy of Sciences It is long known that pupil size is modulated by luminance of stimuli, and arousal or cognitive effort of subjects. Recently, several groups suggested that higher-level perceptual interpretation also impacts pupil size, e.g., perceived brightness and lightness (Laeng & Endestad, 2012; Naber & Nakayama, 2013). Here we investigated pupillary responses when subjects were viewing scenes from three different top-level categories: indoor, man-made (outdoor), and natural. In Experiment 1, 10 subjects were showed 210 distinct grayscale images (70 from each category) automatically drawn from a large database, intermixed with their phase scrambled version. All images were preprocessed to have identical mean pixel value of 0.5. The subjects engaged in a visual search task for a local spatial distortion randomly embedded in the image, while binocular eye movement and pupil size were continuously recorded at 1000 Hz with EyeLink 1000. In Experiment 2, vertically inverted, as well as polarity (black-white) inverted versions of the original images were shown instead, to another group of participants. After initial contraction following stimulus onset, the pupil dilated as the subject kept on searching. Interestingly, pupil size was significantly larger for "indoor" scenes than "man-made", which in turn larger than "natural". Physical luminance, contrast, and task difficulty failed to explain the results, since "indoor" was actually associated with slightly higher mean luminance and contrast (luminance variance), and was less difficult (shorter response time and higher percentage correct) than "natural", which predicted the opposite results. Notably, the difference between "indoor" and "man-made" diminished in scrambled, vertically inverted, and polarity inverted conditions, although "natural" still resulted in smaller pupil size than other categories. We suggest that pupil size was larger when subjects were viewing indoor compared with outdoor scenes, partly because the latter might be subjectively perceived as brighter, a learnt regularity from everyday experiences. < Back |

Jobs wake-up call
PUBLISHED: 27 Feb 2013 00:35:33 | UPDATED: 27 Feb 2013 00:35:33PUBLISHED: 27 Feb 2013 PRINT EDITION: 27 Feb 2013In ("Mining employs three times more than thought: RBA", AFR, February 21) Jacob Greber reports on RBA research. Yet this did not stop Greens leader Christine Milne from saying the RBA used certain assumptions and multipliers in its figures. This response may have been applicable to previous individual industry analysis, but it is certainly not relevant to this latest RBA research, since researchers only included direct and relevant industry aggregates. The analysis is a wake-up call to the dangers of only considering direct employees when focusing on likely future economic policy outcomes.

COMIC BOOK COMPULSIVE — Valiant Annual 1972
By the early 1970's the heyday of British comics were pretty much over, if you ask me anyway. So you can imagine my surprise when I undiscovered that lurking beneath the slightly disturbing cover featuring Captain Hurricane Valiant Annual '72 contained (a) two three pages Billy Bunter stories, (b) a rousing installment of Kelly's Eye (colored a bright yellow lemon for no discernible reason) and finally (c) a full color adventure of The Ghostly Guardian.
There was any number of British strips about tear away youths who took up lodging in mysterious old castles only to invariably discover it was their ancestral home. And naturally somewhere in its shadows was some sort of magical or ghostly ancestor who would try to drive them off but would invariably become their pal/mentor/protector. The Ghostly Guardian was one of them, a jolly variation on the theme that managed to make the relationship between the abused boy and the lively ghost seem wonderfully endearing. Full color was a rare thing in British Annuals even during their heyday so to find it in this story makes this Annual an extra special treat.

From the park reception area:
- Blue Crane
- Spur-wing Goose
- Secretarybird
- Southern Black Korhaan
- Malachite
- Southern (Lesser) Double Collared Sunbird

For more birding information and park bird checklist, go to Information for Birders.
Download the birding checklist for Bontebok National Park.
There are a variety of mammals that visitors can find throughout Bontebok National Park. There are about 158 bontebok that traverse the fynbos plain and guests are certain to see this colourful conservation success story. Red Hartebeest, Grey Rhebok, Steenbok, and Grysbok are also about, commonly amidst the Park's founding species. In addition, there are 8 of the endangered Cape Mountain Zebra that visitors can see.
The Park has various carnivore species including Caracal, Bat-Eared Fox, Cape Fox, and Aardwolf. Although these species are mostly nocturnal there have been day sightings of Bat Eared Foxes and Aardwolf. There are various Mongoose Species and the Breede River provides a perfect setting for Cape Clawless Otter.
The Cape Floral Kingdom, recognized as one of the most biologically diverse areas on earth, is exemplified here. There is something in bloom year round with the peak flower season in the spring. The vegetation is fynbos and characterized by four major plant types: restioids, ericoids, proteoids, and geophytes. Coastal Renosterveld is a part of this vegetation biome and is found in limited areas. It usually grows in highly fertile soils.
This high fertility has meant that most of the area has been converted to agriculture, with other Renosterveld types also heavily ploughed or used as augmented pasture. It is a vegetation type in need of conservation.
Have a question? Why not ask at the forums?

"I would like to be able to know that my home, no matter what happens to my income or my life, is not going to be taken away from me because I can't pay a tax," said Susan Beehler, one in a group of North Dakotans who have pressed for an amendment to the state's Constitution to end the property tax. They argue that the tax is unpredictable, inconsistent, counter to the concept of property ownership and needless in a state that, thanks in part to wildly successful oil drilling, finds itself in the rare circumstance of carrying budget reserves.

PURE DETROIT! (Pure Michigan Parody)
" I know you all want to pretend like 2012 never happened, but if you do you'll miss out on a little fun because once again it's time to recap the funniest videos of the year with a politically Right (and by "right" I mean correct) point of view. I thought about writing The Top 10 Ways the 2012 Election Screwed Us Over, but I think this will be more fun. Besides, we did it last year and you really liked it.
These are in order of awesomeness, ending with the most awesome, so if you get bored be sure to jump to the last page for the best. Some of these might be by leftists, but as long as it promoted a Rightist viewpoint I included it for consideration.
Once again I look forward to your blunt, rude, angry comments pointing out videos I've overlooked or how I have the order completely wrong, etc. Please, don't hold yourself back on account of my fragile ego.
So here we go!
# 10. Conan Campaign Slogans
Coming in at 10 — because it's not technically a video — is a hilarious clip from Conan on TBS. Late-show humor is usually rank with leftist philosophy, and worse, they have a lot of talent on their side. But once in a while that talent betrays the evil empire and comes to the assistance of the rebel forces. This is one of those times. "

As a result of Court Broom, Leonard Rivkind, the former chief judge of the eleventh judicial circuit, ordered the creation of committees to explore ways to safeguard against such abuses. In juvenile court a team of experts (including allegedly blacklisted lawyer Stanley) studied the issue. The result was administrative order 94-27, establishing a system to blindly assign private lawyers in publicly funded cases.
Dependency court employs a lot of private attorneys. One reason is that the Office of Family Reunification, the equivalent of the Public Defender's Office, only handles the simplest lawsuits. Private attorneys are called on to handle more complex litigation. And when OFR takes a case, it can only represent one of the three parties that are usually involved; sometimes the father, mother, and child all need their own counsel.
When someone can't afford an attorney, and the OFR cannot handle the case, a court clerk consults the wheel, a list of roughly 95 barristers. The clerk calls the lawyer at the top of list. Once that name has been called, it goes to the bottom. Only under rare circumstances is the lawyer at the top to be skipped. According to the administrative order: "In the event that the court determines that unique requirements exist in a particular case which the attorney selected cannot satisfy, the court, with the concurrence of the administrative judge of the juvenile division, may appoint another attorney."
To ensure that the wheel remains fair and impartial, the court established the Juvenile Court Dependency Standing Committee in 1994. It was to include seven attorneys who monitor the system's fairness. The committee was to certify that lawyers had sufficient experience in juvenile court. It also was to review payment when lawyers' bills topped $500. And finally, the committee was to hear complaints about lawyers and judges.
Karl Hall is a sandy-haired man with a predilection for blue blazers and chinos. But his prep school image blurs the fact that he's worked in juvenile court for ten years, first as a prosecutor for the state, then, beginning in 1997, as a defense lawyer. He contends that while in private practice, he has never been appointed to a case by Judge Cindy Lederman, a statistical impossibility if the system is being correctly managed.
"It's common knowledge in the juvenile-court building that there are a number of attorneys who are blacklisted, including myself," Hall says. "The blind appointment system is designed to ensure the judiciary doesn't interfere with the right to counsel by selectively picking attorneys to handle certain cases.... Even my five-year-old daughter understands that concept."
Alberto Batista, a stout lawyer with a bushy black beard and an eccentric demeanor, has practiced in juvenile court since the late 1980s. Like Hall, he says Lederman has blacklisted him. "Judge Lederman has violated the whole spirit of the administrative order, establishing a blind selection system," says Batista, who complained two years ago about blacklisting by both Lederman and fellow dependency court Judge Jeri Cohen in a letter to Cohen. Lederman promptly filed a bar complaint against him in July 1998 for violating the code of professional responsibility.
When New Times first confronted Lederman with the accusations in early March, her response was, "You've got to understand; what we're dealing with here is the most basic right of parents: to parent their children. Parents who find themselves before this court are entitled to the best representation possible. It's my job and my duty to make sure the best representation is afforded them." When pressed on whether that meant she was blacklisting certain attorneys, she responded, "No, that's clearly not true."
In an interview two weeks later, Lederman again denied the claims. But she acknowledged that she recuses herself from cases involving Hall and Batista, in effect banning those attorneys from her courtroom. She declined to explain her motive. Lederman pointed out that the administrative order gives her discretion to appoint lawyers in some cases without consulting the wheel. New Times then referred to the administrative order, which states a judge can only do this when "unique requirements exist in a particular case that the attorney cannot satisfy." Hall and Batista translate that to mean a hearing is required to disqualify an attorney. "I guess we'll have to differ on our interpretation of the order," Lederman said.
Beginning in 1998 the blacklisting complaints of Hall, Batista, and about eight other lawyers filtered to the Dependency Standing Committee, the group that certifies lawyers for inclusion on the wheel. There they fell upon the receptive ear of committee chairperson Virginia Stanley, a 53-year-old Miami native and highly regarded juvenile-court lawyer. In 1988 Stanley founded the Juvenile Justice Attorney's Association, the equivalent of the bar association for lawyers practicing in juvenile court. She also co-wrote the report recommending the wheel system in the wake of Operation Court Broom.
Stanley says she was well acquainted with the issue of blacklisting.
The antipathy between the two is a matter of public record. In 1996 Stanley successfully forced Lederman to recuse herself from a case because she conferred with opposing counsel when Stanley was not present. Ever since then Lederman has voluntarily removed herself from any case involving Stanley. "That's no rumor," Lederman declares. "It's a matter of public record."

Few team principals doubt that this afternoon's Malaysian Grand Prix will be the hottest race of the season. It will certainly be the most humid.
At 56 laps of the 5.543 kms circuit, drivers' fitness will be taxed to the utmost and those who sweat the most can expect to lose up to two kilograms of liquid. All of them will have drinks bottles to help to replete lost energy reserves. In Brazil in 1982 winner Nelson Piquet actually collapsed on the podium, while Riccardo Patrese spun wildly in the race after momentarily blacking out.Yesterday Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello admitted that he was close to blacking out during the 1999 race when he was driving for the Stewart team.
"Five laps from the end I was hallucinating in the car," the Brazilian said. "It wasn't an experience that I'd like to repeat."
The other effect of the anticipated high track and ambient temperatures - around 50 and 35 degrees respectively - is the effect on tyres. It's not just the wear rate, but the possibility of blistering that teams face.
"Based on the information we had, we made the best tyre decision but tomorrow's race will be very hard," Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn said.
Michelin's Pierre Dupasquier said: "All weekend we have had no problems at all with wear rate."

Kara Walker The Emancipation Approximation The silhouette, popular in the 19th and 18th century as womens art, is employed today as a narrative device by Kara Walker to give a jolt of graphic recognition to a subject matter which would often be too gruesome to tell in any other format. By distilling the images to stark black and white, mostly in silhouette, Walker lulls her viewers into the murky waters of the history of African-Americans on this continent before the full scope of her subject matter is realized. An example of one of these paper cut-out installations is illustrated below. PASTORAL, 1998 "Pastoral is a large painted black silhouette on a white ground whose crisp and complex outline brings to mind delicate paper cutouts, but whose image evokes something more sinister and perhaps more humorous. A seated negroid woman, holding a sickle, is mounted by the carcass of a colossal sheep. The sheep's head and her profile together make a grotesque face. The power relations between the two are ambiguous. While the sheep is clearly on top, his legs are off the ground and he defecates either in fear or out of sheer disrespect. The sheep, popularly incapable of individual decision, appears quite assertive. It is not clear whether the woman is empowered or oppressed by the animal on her back. Walker's work is controversial in that it examines the rather uncomfortable, sexually-charged relationships between masters and slaves. Just as the image is ambivalent, so too is the means used in creating it. Convex and concave black and white shapes vie for the roles of ground and figure, neither conveying volume more successfully than the other. The traditionally white sheep and conventionally black slave are rendered equal by their colorless tone."
Born 1969, Kara Walker is an African American woman who has taken her place at the forefront of the contemporary art scene trailing a storm of controversy, alternating between derision and praise for her work. From her small, intense drawings to her wall-scale paper silhouette cutouts, she presents a range of racial and sexual narratives that are provocative, unsettling and often difficult-to-view. Her works convey an uneasy mixture of historical facts and prejudiced fictions that engage the viewer in an unsettling dialogue about the nature of racism and sexism in our culture and in our nation's history.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 1997 Exhibiton Catalog: Dan Cameron, Art & Auction: From Walker's catalog from the SFMOMA exhibition, Spring 1997: "The characters and stories that are portrayed are both alluring and highly disturbing, beautiful but often repugnant as well. She does not shy away from depicting taboo subjects: sexual, scatological, or violent. History and psychology meld, so that social relations and internal identity, desires and nightmares, cannot be separated. She renders figures and tells tales that have been imagined but suppressed, known but stricken from official histories. These are images that lurk in the subconscious, and in her art expose contradictions and tensions of race in America that have grown up over centuries of lies and insecurities, exploitation and vulnerabilities. Precocious and subversive, Walker's work provokes the catharsis achieved by public acknowledgment of these suppressed histories and their effect on the psyche." Landfall Press writes: From Carnegie International 2000: THE NEW YORK TIMES October 12, 2007 Kara Walker Selected Further Reading: Emily Hall, arts critic for The Stranger, May 3, 2001:
Mike Daniel, Dallas Morning News, January 8, 1999: Kara Walker earned her BFA from Atlanta College of Art in 1991 and her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1994. She began exhibiting in 1991 in Atlanta, Georgia. Her work has since been included in many international group exhibitions such as La Belle et La B?te, Mus?e d?Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1995); Conceal/Reveal at SITE Santa Fe; New Histories, Institute for Contemporary Art, Boston (1996); no place (like home), Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1997); Global Vision: New Art from the ?90s, Deste Foundation, Athens; Secret Victorians, Contemporary Artists and a 19th-Century Vision, Hayward Gallery for the Arts Council of England, London (1998), which also appeared at Armand Hammer Museum of Art, Los Angeles (1999); and Other Narratives, Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (1999). Numerous solo shows of Walker's work have been presented, including those at Wooster Gardens/Brent Sikkema, New York (1995, 1996, 1998); Henry Art Gallery, Seattle; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago (1997); California College of Arts and Crafts; and Oliver Art Center, Oakland (1999). In 1997 Walker received a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation grant. |

Through a variety of different methods, I am now sleeping - for the first time in years - without sleeping tablets and with significantly less anxiety and worry generally." Katherine
"It wasn't easy all the time but the chats with Jackie helped me a lot. Jackie and Andy are a great team and realy give you the personal attention you need. I loved my stay. I can say I cleaned my body and soul and it feels great. I quit smoking and even lost 4 pounds weight..;). If you think about a detox, weightloss or healthy stay, I can definitely recommend." Marinka
"It's amazing how full the day becomes when one has 'nothing' to do! We started out every day with yoga which lasted about 2 hours (but it went by surprisingly
then breakfast of fresh organic fruit. Every day there was a scheduled thai massage or steam to assist the body in detoxifying. Then there was the afternoon meditation, which was really
fun because Andy took us through different modalities every day ~ from breath, to sound, to kundalini, yoga nidra, open-heart love.... it was great fun to explore."
