Change the World - DBlogWeek Day 1
Let's kick off Diabetes Blog Week by talking about the diabetes causes and issues that really get us fired up. Are you passionate about 504 plans and school safety? Do diabetes misconceptions irk you? Do you fight for CGM coverage for Medicare patients, SDP funding, or test strip accuracy? Do you work hard at creating diabetes connections and bringing support? Whether or not you "formally" advocate for any cause, share the issues that are important to you. (Thanks go out to Kim of Texting my Pancreas for inspiring this topic.
My Aunt is struggling. She has type 2 diabetes and has made some serious changing to her life to fight back. But lately it seems everything she does is never enough and this continuing spinning of her wheels is bringing her down.
When I read the prompt for today's post it made me think of my dear aunt and what she is going through. She started to eat right, skip snacks and sweets she sould sneak now and then, and started exercising. It has gotten to the point now where she will skip meals to keep her blood sugar down.
Why? Why would she do this? Because of insulin. Or I should say, insulin injections.
The fear and disappointment she feels makes me terribly sad. After talking to my cousin about it she said that her mom is so scared of going blind and losing her limbs that she thinks starting insulin is the end of her life.
I explained to her that high numbers are what she needs to worry about, not taking insulin. Insulin can help her keep her numbers in tighter control which could help her avoid complications. Insulin is not the enemy or a punishment for a job poorly done.
This is what really grinds my gears. Doctors that threaten with insulin. Doctors that say, "if you don't do _____ you are going to end up on insulin!" So what happens if you do need it? Are you being bad? Are you to blame? Are you a failure?
Why not let PWT2D know that doing all they can may not be enough and if it is not then insulin may be needed. We are not there yet but if the time comes you may need to take shots to control your numbers. Say something like, "our goal is to keep your numbers as tight and steady as we can! We can work with all the tools we need as we need them but you are not alone! We are going to get through this together!"
Those tools may be change in diet, pills, exercise, insulin, and who knows what else! There is a way to approach it that does not make the patient feel like a failure or that they are getting what they deserve.
No one asked for diabetes and no one wants complications from it. And I know that this sort of "motivation" does not actually motivate. It makes me shut down, give up, and find a tub of ice cream to dive into.
Insulin is not an enemy or a punishment!

I once thought that I was alone in my dream of a restaurant that served nothing but grilled cheese sandwiches, but I was wrong. The Melt opened in 2011 and continues to thrive and expand.

As the global economy continues to crumble, game companies are feeling the heat. Midway, esteemed Mortal Kombat publisher, filed for bankruptcy in February.
New information has surfaced suggesting that media mammoth Warner Bros will buy out the ailing company.
"Warner is pretty confident that they will get Midway – which will be an immediate boost to their portfolio," a source close to Midway informed MCV. "The deal isn't done yet. Midway is still open to offers from other potential buyers – but Warner looks to be favourite to wrap it up. They look ready to put the money on the table."
Midway hopes that Warner Bros will match its overall target price of $30 million USD for the entire company, but is willing to sell off its IPs and studios separately if necessary.
Warner Bros to buy Midway?

Recent Archie Comics Serve as Character Catalogs
- Posted by Johanna on July 12, 2014 at 3:55 pm
- Category: Archie Comics
The last two Archie Comic issues are quite interesting, in that their stories are less complete tales and more frameworks that they can hang as many character mentions as possible on.
This week's Archie #657 is a beach party issue written by Tom DeFalco with pencils by Pat & Tim Kennedy and inks by Rich Koslowski. Archie keeps falling down while trying to windsurf, while mentions are blatantly made of the Madhouse Glads band, Wilbur, Bingo, their girlfriends Laurie Lake and Samantha Smythe, and the Didit Brothers. (Who are the Glads, a connection I didn't realize until KC explained it to me. And isn't it interesting the girls are introduced with last names and their boyfriends aren't?) Some of these are pretty obscure, although the main antagonist is Cheryl Blossom, back to being a scheming vixen.
Last week's Betty & Veronica #271 is even more of a catalog, and its cover even features a few additional logos, emphasizing the guest stars. It's also written by Tom DeFalco, with pencils by Fernando Ruin and inks by Bob Smith.
In it, Veronica's mother Hermione is feeling insecure, since her old friend, a famous designer, is coming to town and staging a fashion show. Ms. Lodge says she feels "so plain and insignificant in comparison". This is a very odd emotion for a fabulously wealthy woman who's proud of herself, her husband, and her daughter to have, particularly since the fashion show is just an excuse to list off most every female Archie character.
We start, of course, with model Katy Keene and her supporting cast. Josie and the Pussycats are playing for the show, accompanied by Alexandra and her cat Sebastian. She's back to having magical powers, it seems. Ginger Snapp wants to become a model. Sabrina the Teenage Witch pops in, as does Midge, Ginger Lopez, Cricket O'Dell, Trula Twyst, Nancy Woods, and a whole bunch more, half of whom I've never heard of. It's something of an odd reading experience, with a whole page of full names used as though they're significant although we have no idea who they are.
Overall, the message is one of friendship being important and being able to solve problems when your friends come through for you. Then again, friendship isn't such a chore if the favor you're asked to do is wear glamorous clothes and have people applaud you.
So, speculating on why Archie Comics would want to do this, two reasons immediately come to mind:
* Intellectual property maintenance. Trademarks, as on character names, can be lost if they're not maintained, so dumping a whole bunch of characters into these stories allow the company to show that they're still interested in using all of them.
* Sample giveaways. With an increasing push towards getting more Hollywood attention for the cast and publications, issues like these are great to give to producers and other licensing decision-makers. They can be used as a kind of catalog for them to select characters they might be interested in developing for other media or products.

July 12, 2014 at 4:12 PMI assumed the "plain and insignificant" line might've been a joke (since we know she's not)?
As for why the overload of characters, yeah, trademark renewal might be a reason—don't think some of them like Ginger or Suzy were used since the *last* such trademark-renewal-ish storyline, the "night at the comic shop" one a few years ago, where the old Archie Comics characters like Young Dr. Masters came to life from old comics.
And yes, odd that Alexandra's back to using magic…though figured if they're reconciling that with Sabrina, the Witch's Council would get involved/be an excuse for why she doesn't use them anymore. :-p
- Johanna Says:
July 12, 2014 at 4:21 PMI have seen some discussion among Archie fans about the differences between the Night at the Comic Shop story and this one, most obviously that in that story, all these other characters were fictional in the Archie world, and here, they're hanging out in Riverdale with everyone else. Which makes more sense to me.
- Anthony Says:
July 12, 2014 at 4:27 PMYeah, I remarked on such, as well… and guess can see why they changed that. Easier to slip the characters into stories like the fashion show one or other crossovers (part of the mentality behind DC's Crisis in the 80s and forcing all 8 zillion heroes onto one Earth, continuity problems be darned :-p )…
- Jerry Says:
July 15, 2014 at 3:14 PMI could almost see Archie attempting a more cohesive "universe" with their characters with these issues. Not that there hasn't been cross-overs, but Archie and the gang, Sabrina, and Josie and Pussycats are usually kept apart, even to the point that they actually live in different neighboring towns.
How about that media coverage on the next to last Life with Archie?
- Mark Moore Says:
August 26, 2014 at 8:45 AMI disagree with your comment on Cheryl in Archie #657. She's not an antagonist, and the only "scheming" that she does is have her windsurf thingy remote-controlled, so Archie doesn't take a spill.
In fact, Cheryl is downright pleasant in this story, and Betty gets along much better with Cheryl than with Veronica. It's actually a nice callback to Cheryl's solo series from the late 1990s / early 2000s, when Cheryl and Betty became BFFs:
- Johanna Says:
August 26, 2014 at 7:45 PMInteresting, I'm not familiar with that era, sounds neat!

Utah, We Love Thee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Utah We Love Thee" is the official state hymn of Utah. The song was written by Utah resident Evan Stephens in 1895. It was performed at celebrations held in 1896 when Utah become the 45th state. Evan Stephens was the Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductor from 1890 to 1916. The Utah State legislature made Utah We Love Thee the official Utah state song in 1937. In 2003, the Utah legislature voted to replace it with a new state song, Utah, This is the Place, and make Utah, We Love Thee the official state hymn.

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes captain Doan: Keith Yandle and Mike Smith key to recent success
If the playoffs started today, the Phoenix Coyotes would be in, but just barely.
Monday's 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings put the Coyotes two points ahead of the ninth-place Dallas Stars, while the team trails the next two Western Conference playoff teams by only five points.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan, who had an assist in Monday's victory, told Burns and Gambo of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that it is Keith Yandle and Mike Smith who are coming up big for the team in the home stretch of the season.
"Yandle has been huge for us all year," Doan said. "I will take Keith Yandle on my team every single day of the week. The guy just makes plays and when the game is on the line, he's the guy you want on the ice because he finds ways to contribute."
Yandle finished Monday's game with a goal and an assist, bringing his season totals to eight and 41, respectively. His 49 points rank fourth among NHL defensemen.
"It's not by accident that he is in the top five in defensive scoring because he drags the puck across the blue line, and as a forward it seems to be such an easy thing to do to stay in that shooting lane, but the further he drags it, the more you feel like you're out of position and then finally he shoots it and gets it through," Doan said. "That's huge."
If the Coyotes do reach the playoffs, it won't be just their offense that gets them there.
Mike Smith, who has won six of his last nine games in the net, has stepped up as of late.
"He's been unbelievable," Doan said. "When he is really good, we are hard to beat. You look at over the years at goalies that have carried teams like teams off of the top of my head in the past 20 years, like John Vanbiesbrouck, Jon Casey and guys like Jonathan Quick whose teams weren't necessarily that good but their goaltending was amazing, and they all got to the Stanley Cup final."

I think this Avent Niplette works but you have to be patient.
I've only had it a few days, I bought it for cosmetic reasons. In my adult life I had never been ashamed but I figured for only forty bucks it was worth a try. These stories have given me hope. It's hard because I like things to happen fast and this takes time. I believe with continues use it will eventually work for good

The results are not permanent you may think they are if they have stayed out for a week but they will go back in eventually when you stop using it.

I've used this product about 3 times per week for the past six month and it really does work. The cups are clear so you can actually see the nipples fill the cups! I experienced discharge during the first few times but this may have been due to applying too much suction to the cups too soon, also this caused soreness and a small blister but the soreness only lasted a few days. I would advise only a small amount of suction at first and then gradually build up to avoid these problems. The… Read Full Review

You definitely need to be very discliplined with the Avent Nipplette if you want to see a good result. This means wearing for 8 or more consecutive hours everyday for at least 3 months.
Use lubrication for ease of use, to minimise soreness and maximise suction and a good seal. I use Palmers cocoa butter body lotion.
Not sure how permanent the effects are because I have not been wearing them as advised. Will wear for 12hrs daily for 3 months before giving verdict on this but very promising…

I'm a bloke and since the age of about 12 I had been extremely anxious about my nipple region. During my early teens I developed Gynecomastia (effectively male breasts), which was a source of major embarrassment. Predictably, I was bullied at school about this and my confidence and self-esteem hit rock bottom. At 16 I had an operation to put this right but I was left with what I saw as equally embarrassing - inverted nipples.

Kim Kardashian wowed in red at the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, N.C., Thursday night, and her date couldn't help but notice.
The reality star attended the HQ Battery 10th Marine Birthday Ball with Sgt. Martin Gardner, who was on the event's planning committee, E! News reports. Although Gardner invited Kardashian as his date months ago, his name was not made public until last night.
Kardashian wore a skin-tight, red Roland Mouret gown, and Gardner, dressed in his uniform, was photographed checking out his date's famous curves.
"Just left the Marine Corps Ball," Kardashian tweeted after the event. "Thanks to all of the Marines I had the opportunity to meet tonight! Thank you for all that you do!"
The 32-year-old Kardashian is currently in Miami, filming "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami," but the star rearranged her schedule to attend the ball.

International Events Highlight Death Penalty Concerns
Two recent international gatherings emphasized concerns about the death penalty in the U.S. and around the world. On October 14, the Organization of American States hosted an address by the President of the International Institute of Human Rights, Jean-Paul Costa, focusing on the relatively few countries still practicing capital punishment in North and South America. On October 21, the Delegation of the European Union to the U.S. presented a panel discussion featuring DPIC's Executive Director, Richard Dieter (r.), along with other national organizations. The event was cosponsored by the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Panel members described the sharp decline in the use of the death penalty in the U.S. and future prospects for further change through legislation and court opinions. Among the issues discussed were the quality of representation in capital cases, changes in public opinion, and the effects of the EU's restrictions on drugs for lethal injections in the U.S.

Supreme Court to Review Impact of Eliminating Black and Hispanic Jurors in Captial Case
On October 20, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Chappell v. Ayala (No. 13-1428), a death penalty case from California in which all the black and Hispanic potential jurors were struck from the defendant's trial. Hector Ayala was convicted in 1989 of three murders in San Diego. At his trial, Ayala's attorneys argued that the prosecutor was improperly striking jurors on the basis of race. The judge reviewed the prosecutor's explanation for the strikes without defense attorneys present, saying it was necessary to protect the prosecutor's trial strategy, and concluded the strikes were not racially motivated. The California Supreme Court found that any potential constitutional error related to the racial makeup of the jury or the subsequent closed review was harmless, rejecting Ayala's appeal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit granted Ayala relief and ordered California to retry him. The 9th Circuit held that the constitutional issues could be reviewed without deference to the state court opinion because no ruling based on federal law had been made against Ayala, and that the errors made at trial had an injurious effect on the jury's verdict. The Supreme Court will consider whether more deference was due the state court's decision and whether the 9th Circuit used the correct standard in determining that the trial errors were harmful.

North Carolina Innocence Commission Frees Another Inmate, 38 Years Late
The same Commission that freed former death row inmates Henry McCollum and Leon Brown in September exonerated another man who had been convicted of murder, Willie Womble (l.). The North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission freed Womble on October 17, dismissing his 1976 first-degree murder conviction and life sentence. Womble had been convicted of acting as a lookout while another man, Joseph Perry, robbed a convenience store and killed the cashier. Both Perry and Womble received life sentences. Though Womble had always said he was innocent, he never filed a motion to challenge his conviction, perhaps because of his diminished mental capacity (a disability also present in McCollum and Brown). In 2013, Perry wrote a letter to the Innocence Commission stating that Womble was innocent. When Perry learned that his actual accomplice had died, he decided he could reveal Womble's innocence without putting the other man in prison. The Commission investigated Womble's case and found that his confession had been possibly coerced and written by a detective working on the case. Christine Mumma, executive director of the N.C. Center on Actual Innocence, said, "In 2008, the legislature passed a law requiring the recording of interrogations. This is another case showing how important that is." Granville County District Attorney Sam Currin supported Womble's exoneration, saying, "I apologized to Mr. Womble and to the family of Mr. Roy Bullock, who was the victim. I just felt it was right. The system and the state of North Carolina failed them for 39 years." Although not sentenced to death, Womble's case shows the risks of capital punishment and the difficulty in discovering innocence.

Florida's Troubled History With the Death Penalty
A recent retrospective in the Fort Myers Florida Weekly on the state's death penalty traced some of the problems that have arisen since Florida resumed executions in 1979. During the execution of Jesse Tafero in 1990, six-inch flames shot from the prisoner's head, and three separate jolts of electricity were required to kill him. Prison officials attributed it to "inadvertent human error." In the execution of Pedro Medina in 1997, flames and smoke again spewed out from under the head gear. Ron McAndrew, the warden at the time, recently remarked, "For the next 11 minutes, instead of electrocuting this man, we burned him to death. We literally burned him to death." Florida Supreme Court Justice Leander Shaw called such executions "barbaric spectacles" and said they were "acts more befitting a violent murderer than a civilized state." Florida also has more exonerations (24) from death row than any other state. It is the only state that allows a jury to recommend a death sentence by a simple majority; most states require unanimity. The state's recent passage of the Timely Justice Act, designed to speed up executions, has raised concerns that it will reduce death row inmates' opportunities to prove their innocence.

NEW RESOURCES: Podcast Series on Each State's Death Penalty
DPIC has recently added four podcasts to our new series on important facts about the death penalty in each state. Seven state podcasts are now available: Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, and Hawaii. We expect to add new episodes each week, with two more coming tomorow (Oct. 17). The series has begun with states that have abolished the death penalty, and focuses on the developments leading to repeal in those states. The issues that brought those states to abolition are often similar to the ones states with the death penalty are facing today, including wrongful convictions, unfairness, and the methods of execution. We hope this new series will be an excellent resource for those interested in the diversity of positions states have taken on this key social question and for students researching their state's history. Our earlier series of podcasts, DPIC on the Issues covers a variety of topics related to the death penalty, including Innocence, Costs, and Lethal Injection. You can listen to all of our podcasts on our Podcasts page or by subscribing on iTunes.

Lawsuit Following Botched Oklahoma Execution Names Participating Doctor
On October 14 a lawsuit was filed by the family of Clayton Lockett (l.) against the state of Oklahoma for damages related to his botched execution in April. The suit alleges "unsound procedures and inadequately trained personnel" and claims that Dr. Johnny Zellmer was the physician present at Lockett's execution. The family asserts that Zellmer, "was willing to, and did in fact, conduct the medical experiment engaged in by Defendants to kill Clayton Lockett regardless of the fact that these chemicals had never been approved or tested by any certifying body." Oklahoma law makes the names of its execution team, including participating doctors, secret. In Lockett's execution, most of the execution team was out of view of witnesses, but the doctor who pronounced death was visible. Oklahoma has delayed all executions for the remainder of 2014 in order to allow time to obtain lethal injection drugs and prepare personnel. The state revised its execution protocol and remodeled its execution chamber after Lockett's execution, but retained the controversial drug midazolam and secrecy surrounding the sources of drugs and personnel.

Death Penalty Lawyer Called America's Mandela
In a recent column in the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof highlighted the work of Bryan Stevenson (pictured), referring to him as "America's Nelson Mandela." Stevenson, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama, has focused his career on representing indigent defendants, especially those on death row throughout the south. In his new book, Just Mercy, Stevenson tells the story of representing and eventually winning the exoneration of Walter McMillian, a black man unjustly convicted and sentenced to death in 1988 for the murder of a white woman in Alabama. Kristof asked Stevenson if "such a blatant and racially tinged miscarriage of justice" is less common today. Stevenson said, "If anything, because of the tremendous increase in people incarcerated, I'm confident that we have more innocent people in prison today than 25 years ago."

Botched Execution Results in $100,000 Renovation and Fewer Media Witnesses
The Oklahoma Department of Corrections recently gave the media a tour (see video here) of its newly renovated execution chamber. The state spent over $100,000 updating the rooms in response to the botched execution of Clayton Lockett in April. Among the changes are a new gurney (an "electric bed"), a new intercom, and an atomic clock. Previously, communications included colored sticks pushed through a wall, with a red stick indicating something had gone wrong. Correctional officials were secretive about the participation of medical personnel, citing ongoing litigation. The state has said it will reduce the number of media witnesses from twelve to five. The ACLU and two media outlets have asked a judge to stop the state from reducing the number of media witnesses. "They took a process already corrupted by secrecy that had already led to at least one botched execution, and managed somehow to make it even more difficult for the people of Oklahoma and their representatives in the media to know anything about that process," said Ryan Kiesel, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma.

The India Blog
The India Blog is about the socio-political-economic landscape of the country, its cultural moorings and the challenges it faces – whatever affects the lives and future of the people living within its boundaries and beyond.The five adults accused in the Delhi gang-rape case will probably hang for it, as they should. For, if the accusations are true, they are culpable for not only rape, but also battery and murder.
A significant proportion of our population, not the least of which is a broad coalition ranging from opportunistic political parties to feminist campaigners, is demanding a revision of existing law to make rape a capital offence. I think that's a terrible idea.
Death penalty for rape is not in the interest of the victim, it's not effective, and it's not fair.
Unlike pretty much any other crime, rape inevitably has an eye-witness - the victim. Further, absent a national DNA database, the probability of the perpetrators' identification is almost perfectly correlated with the survival of this victim. Therefore, there is a strong incentive to eliminate the witness (victim), as it is. The more severe the punishment, the stronger the incentive. If the potential punishment for rape is the same as that for the murder of the victim, then, in game-theory terms, murdering the victim becomes the dominant strategy for the rapist(s). Thus, to make rape punishable by death is to put the victim's life in even more peril than it already is.
Further, while the death penalty may make the society feel avenged, it is a poor deterrent. That a more severe punishment would be a better deterrent is simplistic and naive. Murder already carries the death penalty and yet there are 34,000[i] reported cases of murder (compared to 24,000[ii] reported rape cases) per year. Rape itself already carries a life-sentence, which is a pretty severe punishment.
The key is certainty, not severity of the punishment. Most empirical studies have demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that certainty of punishment carries the greater, and often the only, weight in deterring criminals[iii].
As things stand, rape is a rather risk-free enterprise in India. Of all the cases heard by our courts, only 26 per cent lead to convictions[iv]. If that number gives you a ray of hope, consider the fact of severe underreporting - India Today estimated[v] in 2009 that as many as 90 per cent of rape cases in India go unreported. This means that only in 2.5 per cent of the cases are the rapists actually convicted. Add to this the fact that our courts are overloaded and issue rulings at a glacial pace. Of the 95,000 rape cases brought to them every year, the courts rule on merely 15,000[vi]. In other words, on average it takes upwards of 6 years to get a ruling. Yes, rape is safe. That's the sad truth.
We need to make rape much riskier; we need to ensure that almost all incidents are reported, and the perpetrators convicted. That's easier said than done.
Even if India Today is massively off on the underreporting figures, which I don't think it is, and unreported rapes constitute an equivalent proportion to that in America (54 per cent)[vii], it is abundantly clear that the key driver for convictions is reporting.
Rapists, especially those with political muscle or deep pockets (or both), are rarely stigmatised, while the victim ends up bearing the shame and being called names. If there's any silver lining to the Delhi case, it's that this might be the beginning of the end for this incredibly perverse social response.
This shift in attitude should be helped along through judicious application of anonymity laws. Real names of victims should be shielded and all public records, including court documents should use victim number instead. There should be strict, automatic penalties for violators of the law, such as the Punjab policemen who divulged the name of the woman gang-raped by 7 in a moving bus on 11 January in an eerie parallel to the Delhi case. At the same time, the media must continue to lionize the victims who report their rapes to the police.
Rapists should be named and shamed via the publication on the Internet of public databases (including whereabouts) of convicted rapists and indicted rapists respectively. While not incarcerated, both categories must be required to report their whereabouts to the nearest police station every week.
Next, we should tackle the problem of protracted legal battles and low conviction rates. Fast-track courts are designed to take care of the former, so I won't spend much time discussing that. Low conviction rates are often the result of strict burden-of-proof requirements, lack of evidence and witnesses, and manipulation of evidence and witnesses.
We need to put in place a scientific approach to forensics, as opposed to the "beat it out of the accused" school preferred by the police. We must put in place forensic labs in all towns, beginning with the hotspots of rape (by reported incidents per capita population): Chandigarh, Delhi, Bhopal, Mumbai, rural Chhattisgarh and the north-eastern states. We must sensitise and train police personnel, right up to the hawaldar level, to prevent the contamination of the crime scene. We must put in place strict rules for chain of custody, and adequate facilities to maintain safety and unimpeachability of the evidence.
In case of every crime, but particularly rape, it is imperative that the evidence be collected as soon as possible. Hence, a massive public-education campaign, urging women to report rapes immediately, is warranted. The campaign should also clearly communicate "what to do after" directions so that the evidence, such as blood and semen, is not destroyed by the time someone attempts to collect it.
I do not concur with the activists demanding that the accused should bear the burden of proof - "innocent until proven otherwise" is a key precept of our judicial system, and one that should not be tampered with. It is, however, clear that proving rape in court is too burdensome. Even in countries with advanced forensic tools and rules, conviction rates remain low. There, rape cases are primarily about consent rather than DNA. This is further reason for reporting immediately.
Doctors must be trained to identify bruises and wounds made during rape. The police must have a trained physician at hand to certify rape. The report of the doctor conducting the initial examination must carry great weight in the court of law, and during such inspection the doctor must collect photographic evidence to make the case invulnerable to challenges.
Finally, my most controversial point - death penalty for rape is unfair, and unduly cruel and harsh. In any civil society, proportional response must be the cornerstone of the justice system, and death penalty for the rapist is not proportional.
Sure, rape is a heinous crime. But that doesn't grant society the right to take away the life of a criminal who has not taken away someone's life. Sure, a rape victim is often psychologically scarred for life. But so are the victims of any other kind of violent crime. Sure, often the life of the rape victim is ruined and some even commit suicide. But we should ask ourselves if it is the rapist who's responsible for that, or our 'blame the victim" culture.
Rape is not just a law and order problem; it is a social issue. Killing the rapists won't get us any closer to a solution.

Need help with email account set up, please!
I've had my 9930 for over a year now and it's been the best device I've owned. Today I received a message that one of my email accounts needed to be validated---first time that ever happened. I tried to validate it and kept getting an error message saying the password was invalid, even though it was the correct password. So I deleted the account, went to the account on my laptop and changed the password. When I went to set-up the account again on the 9930, I add the email address and password, press "continue" or "next," and nothing happens....NOTHING! Device just sits on that page. I tried to add another account (not the one I had deleted), and it added with no problem. I did a hard reboot but that changed nothing.....add email page still won't move after pressing "continue." Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Re: Need help with email account set up, please!
no....just a plain old hotmail account. And I have been using it on the laptop all night--logging in and out. No issues at all. What I can't understand is that I cannot get the "continue" button to activate after putting in the email address and password. I changed one letter in the address (a wrong address but this was a test), left the password the same, pressed "continue" and the screen went right to activating the account, although of course it came back as an invalid email address, which it was but I was just testing it. For some reason it refuses to go further with the email address I deleted. Wondering if you delete an email address from the BB, is there some type of waiting period until the device will activate it again?

You should change the password from your BB. I have done this in the past and could not access my emails. When you edit email addys from a PC, your BB will not know of any changes. Delete it add it back and edit from your BB.

The Deal: After String of Miscues, Dendreon Likely on Block
NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- What Dendreon (DNDN) did right was bring the first clinically successful immunotherapy to market. What it did wrong was, well, just about everything else. And that's why company officials are likely to announce soon that Dendreon will be sold.
Rumors began flying Friday after the bell that Dendreon had hired JPMorgan Chase (JPM) to help it find a buyer. The company is not commenting.
The best candidates for buying the biotech are competitors Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Get Report) or Medivation (MDVN), according to Maxim Group biotechnology analyst Jason Kolbert.
Seattle-based Dendreon was a Wall Street darling in 2010. The Food and Drug Administration approved its product Provenge, a therapeutic vaccine for metastatic prostate cancer, in April 2010. At the biotech's height, shares were selling at more than $54. But shares have been trading below $5 since March.
Both J&J and Medivation have been nipping at Dendreon's heels. J&J's Zytiga and Medivation's Xtandi, which it commercialized with Astellas Pharma, both treat the same illness. They represent competitive therapeutic options at a lower cost to Provenge, and both are oral therapies. "In this environment," Kolbert said in an interview with The Deal, "Dendreon lacks adequate resources to compete." The company has major debt, about $650 million. And Provenge is only expected to bring in between $300 million and $400 million this year. That's about 10% of what analysts were forecasting three years ago. While Dendreon has a few other drug candidates in development, it's pipeline is pretty thin. "The bottom line is, can Dendreon survive on just Provenge? The answer to that is, No," Kolbert said. He added that for a company like J&J, already marketing a drug in the prostate cancer market, buying Dendreon would be an incremental expense with a big upside. "The SG&A line associated with marketing Provenge is killing Dendreon," he noted. But manufacturing costs for a company like J&J could drop those costs by as much as 40% to 50%. "That's still high for a biotech product, but it does suggest that a company with the right infrastructure can generate free cash flow from this product," Kolbert noted.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

there is an angel sitting next to me.
her hands are tucked like wings against each other,
each blue life-vein peeking out through
too-white, too-thin skin.
a dog-earred copy of The Great Gatsby
waits in the pocket of the seat in front of her.
any other day, that might be a metaphor,
but today it is just a lonely book
whose owner is even lonelier.
there is an angel in the plane seat next to me.
while i am closing my eyes to say goodbye to the ground,
she is opening hers wider to say hello to the sky.
her spine is bending against the metal side,
like maybe if she pushed enough she could be free.
as the plane starts moving faster and faster,
the ground tells me, "see you later."
and as the wheels draw back into the plane's belly,
the sky tells her, "welcome back old friend."
there is an angel sitting next to me on a plane,
and it sounds like the start of a bad joke.
she is beautiful with spindly fingers, fly-away hair,
green eyes and a feather soft smile.
i am just a human with too much food in her stomach,
who is constantly battling evil that isn't really evil and
swallowing truth that isn't really truth.
she offers that her name is Katie, and
i have never felt more inadequate of my name—
how ironic it is, that this normal name belonged to this
beautiful creature, and my own extraordinary name
belonged only to me, someone so extra ordinary.
for each of us, the three hour plane ride
was spent battling our own demons in silence.
i wanted to ask her if she remembered
what it was like to fly,
but looking at her hands balled into fists on her knees
and her red-rimmed eyes and olive-rimmed pupils
staring doggedly at each passing cloud
through the two inch window of the cage we were sitting in,
i thought to myself,
"stupid question."

Rave Rim Trainer Waterskis are specially designed for teaching children how to water ski. Because children do not always have a feel for how to water ski at first, the Trainer Waterskis are designed extra wide. They also come with a stabilizer bar in the middle to hold the skis together for beginning water skiers. The Rave Rim Trainer Waterskis are suitable for children with weights ranging from a minimum of fifty pounds to a maximum of ninety pounds. The bindings are soft on the inside for comfort but still provide plenty of support.

And better yet, why? How can we, as a people, a compassionate people, continue to allow tax cuts to our wealthiest citizens and cut off the heat to the poorest ones? Reports that President Barack Obama's upcoming budget will propose steep cuts in the government's energy assistance fund for low-income Americans ricocheted quickly on Capitol Hill Wednesday, spurring some intraparty squabbling. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) wrote a letter to Obama asking him not to drop funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) by about $3 billion. "I understand that difficult cuts have to be made," the Massachusetts Democrat wrote. "But in the middle of a brutal, even historic, New England winter, home heating assistance is more critical than ever to the health and welfare of millions of Americans, especially senior citizens. I request that the administration preserve LIHEAP funding at least to the Fiscal Year 2010 funding at $5.1 billion when it submits its FY12 budget proposal to Congress." Obama To Cut Energy Assistance For Poor; Kerry Urges Him To Reconsider
The funds are needed for high speed rail? Or maybe it's that the energy assistance program didn't encourage "green" energy? It's mostly oil, isn't it? Doesn't make any sense to me, unless there are plans to require energy companies to provide heat to the less fortunate at little or no cost...
It's kind of like how the best cuts House Republicans can find are pregnant mothers, children, and police. The only difference is that you expect that from them.
that looks like 230,000,000 to me ... not 3 billion. It's going back to the amount it was before Obama took office. The cut word is highly misleading.
What I wrote is entirely consistent with the cuts proposed by Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), Chairman of the House Appropriates Committee.
Where did you get that 230,000,000 figure from, IP? I'm confused. Yes, it is going back to pre-Obama days but how does that make the "cut" word misleading? If you take away what's already been raised, it's a "cut," isn't it? Was this supposed to be a temporary raise in aid (like the tax cuts to the rich were supposed to be temporary) or is it a reduction in aid, regardless of how long it's been in effect? The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, would see funding drop by about $2.5 billion from an authorized 2009 total of $5.1 billion. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, would see funding drop by about $2.5 billion from an authorized 2009 total of $5.1 billion. The proposed cut will not touch the program's emergency reserve fund, about $590 million, which can be used during particularly harsh cold snaps or extended heat spells, three officials told National Journal. In 2010, Obama signed into law an omnibus budget resolution that released a total of about $5 billion in LIHEAP grants for 2011. Pointing to the increasing number of Americans who made use of the grants last year, advocates say that LIHEAP is already underfunded. The American Gas Association predicts that 3 million Americans eligible for the program won't be able to receive it unless LIHEAP funding stays at its current level. NationalJournal.com - EXCLUSIVE: White House to Cut Energy Assistance for the Poor - Thursday, February 10, 2011
I don't know the details of this program, but I don't think compassion is a good grounds for determining appropriate government spending levels -- wouldn't that same rationale warrant, say, $6.1B of spending rather than just $5.1B? I do agree with you about tax cuts, though. While I'd like to see taxes reformed (not just cut), if we're making hard spending cuts like the one described here, taxpayers -- particularly the wealthy, and especially the extremely wealthy -- can sacrifice their tax cuts until we get spending under control. (I also hope we're making more meaningful and justifiable cuts elsewhere throughout the budget.)
Right, yesterday a block of republicans broke ranks and voted with democrats and your response is to whine about the republicans that didn't. Today it's Obama who has proposed cuts and you repond with something a republican did. You turn every eventy into some kind of talking point, completely missing or ignoring the OP's point just to make your own. Do you think the affected people give a rats azz which side cuts the fuel off? is Obama proposing this in a compassionate way and Rogers is proposing it in a mean spirited way?
My response wasn't to "whine" about Republicans that didn't vote against renewal. I was illustrating that the failed vote wasn't due to any purported "Tea Party insurrection," contra to the line being parroted in the thread and elsewhere in the media. Please try to keep up. My response in this thread was merely a sarcastic point about how this isn't something you'd expect to see from Obama but, rather, the Republicans. Back on topic, a little context:
How can we? Well how about the fact that the cost of oil is about 1/2 of what it was in 2008/09? Sure, why not tax the wealthy more, the to 5% of earners in this country only pay 60% of the taxes. But you're right, we'd better keep the funding at $5 billion instead of $3 billion because we can't forget the millions that died of exposure in the winter of 07/08 before spending increased so dramatically. Rather than making a typical class warfare emotional plea, how about evidence? Since fuel prices have dropped, what is the need for the continued increase in spending? Did the previous increase lead to a drop in deaths from exposure or other measurable gains? These are honest questions, I don't have the answers but your case is better made logically than with the tired, lazy "why oh why can't we just tax people more! Won't someone please think of the children?!" I forgot here is funding by year for energy assistance programs: Low-Income Energy Program Funding, 1977 - 2004 - LIHEAP Clearinghouse and the link to the LIHEAP page, where they give other statistics: Office of Community Services - Low Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) Program
How about there are nearly twice as many people currently unemployed as there were in January 2008? The 5 percent unemployment rate was the highest reading since November 2005, when job losses from Hurricane Katrina were still being felt. The unemployment rate had been 4.7 percent in November, and economists had expected it to creep higher to just 4.8 percent. Jobs growth much weaker than expected as unemployment climbs - Jan. 4, 2008 The national jobless rate fell by 0.4 percentage point between November and December to 9.4 percent, 0.5 point lower than in December 2009. Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary
Save the Children! This is the problem with ever increasing government funding and budgets. Once you've given more and more and more and more and more.... in funding increases year after year, anything below the last inflated total is deemed an eeeeeeeeeeevil cut. Save the children! Be it education, defense, police, or fuel assistance as is the case here. How many times have you seen a pol/candate scream "he cut defense" or "he cut education" in a debate about policy. It happens all the time. The bottom line is that we're broke. We've been, and we are, spending so much more than we both can and should. That means EVERYTHING gets slashed in some way, where possible. Why spend $50 billion on trains when people are freezing? Why pay cops six figures when towns and the people that live in them are broke? Why give banks bailouts when we're running trillion dollar deficits, and why spend money on foreign aid when we need our own aid here at home? Then there's the wars issue we could look at as well. The point is we don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem. We spend too much, and with that, we spend in the wrong places. Giving a addict more sauce isn't going to help him get sober.
Now we're getting somewhere. This is a concrete argument for continued funding of the program. Just reading around a bit in past years they have made emergency additions to the fund as necessary for cold winters/high fuel costs, etc. Would it make sense to fund at $3 billion rather than $5 and if there is a need make an additional payment in?
It might - but I would think that doing it that way would raise the administration costs sky-high. Any time you have to redo a budget or create additional financing it creates a paper jam which almost always ends up being more costly than having figured it properly in the first place.
The article said they bumped it - part of some weatherization plans. 2.8 billion - 2.57 billion = 230 million.
Ah, ok...but it has been getting 5.1 billion so the 230 million is just a small mistake in the appropriation level. The amount being cut will be 230 million less than reported - meaning they will be cutting 2.57 billion instead of 2.8 billion. I get so confused sometimes. It's what happens when you get up too early in the morning.

CoRE Joint Venture Submits Proposal To Support Launch Range Consolidation For U.S. Air Force Space Command
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing comprehensive support to consolidate the U.S. Air Force Space Command's launch ranges is the goal of an alliance that includes InDyne, Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and URS Corporation (NYSE: URS). These companies, which comprise the Consolidated Range Enterprise (CoRE) joint venture, have submitted a proposal for the Launch and Test Range System Integrated Support Contract, or LISC. The multi-billion-dollar LISC program consolidates the Air Force's maintenance and sustainment services of its Eastern and Western launch ranges under a single contract.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110419/PH85737LOGO-b)
"These are exciting times for the Air Force," said General Lance Lord (USAF Retired), President of the CoRE joint venture. "The LISC contract will achieve a decades-long dream of standardizing Air Force launch operations on the two coasts to achieve significant cost savings through consolidation and efficiencies - all while ensuring Eastern and Western Range mission success. CoRE looks forward to working with our Air Force partners to achieve this vision for range transformation while meeting their vital national mission of assured access to space."
LISC merges three separate contracts at the Air Force's two main launch ranges, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fl., and Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., into a single range support contract to improve efficiency and effectiveness. These launch and test ranges provide the capability to deploy satellites on expendable launch vehicles, serve as launch facilities for intercontinental ballistic missile and submarine-launched ballistic missile test and verification, and provide range instrumentation for test and evaluation of airborne platforms. LISC will also support return to flight for any future manned launches from the Eastern Range.
"We are proud to be part of the CoRE joint venture and look forward to the opportunity to further our partnership with Air Force Space Command," said C. Donald Bishop, President and CEO of InDyne. "As the current incumbent providing launch services on the Western Range we have a deep appreciation for our customers' operational needs and what it will take to achieve their vision of improved efficiency and lower operational costs while ensuring total mission success." "Reducing the cost of range operations takes a knowledgeable team that understands the mission-critical nature of the ranges," said Robert Smith, Vice President of Space & Cyber for Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions. "Collectively, the combined strengths of CoRE Services offer the depth of experience to provide the Air Force Space Command with a highly reliable solution that increases range availability, reduces sustainment costs and keeps the ranges operational today and in the future." "Success under LISC requires a partner the Air Force Space Command can trust to focus on the goals and objectives of multiple customers and range users," said John Vollmer, Executive Vice President for URS Federal Services. "This will require a proactive, balanced approach to daily operations, mission planning, and sustainment of range systems. We've successfully achieved that balance through the creation of the CoRE Joint Venture. I am excited about the CoRE team and the future of the critical capabilities to be provided through the Eastern and Western Ranges."

Exeter Synagogue, the third oldest synagogue in the UK, has launched a £125,000 fundraising drive to restore its crumbling building ahead of its 250th anniversary celebrations this summer.
The president of the LSE Jewish Society was honoured for his efforts in challenging antisemitism on campus at the Union of Jewish Students awards.
Jay Stoll led the response when a Jewish LSE student was physically assaulted by his peers on an athletics union university ski trip. He had confronted them for playing a Nazi-themed card game.
Kehillat Kernow Jewish Community were invited to a cream tea by Exeter Hebrew Congregation on erev Shavuot. The congregations meet every Shavuot as Truro-based Kehillat Kernow has one of Exeter's Torah scrolls on loan. In the morning, Shavuot was explained to the children who made decorations for the shul. Following the tea, an erev Shavuot service was held.

Orbitz Worldwide
"Good so far "
I have been working at Orbitz Worldwide full-time (less than a year)
Seems like everyone I work with enjoys being there, no real disgruntled employees that I have come across. Everyone so far has been a pleasure to work with and a positive vibe. Let's be honest that really what makes or breaks a job is the people you work with.
Great office, nice location.
Compensation is on par with competitors.
A little too software happy, you have to log any vacation or time off twice in separate systems. Stupid red tape with dealing with issues like getting locked out of machine or hardware stuff.
You must submit your hours weekly (Replicon).
No personal mail of any kind allowed, which I have never encountered before any any company. It's not critical but every now and then there may be a package that you have to have delivered at work, but that wont happen here.
No 401k match for the entire first year, another first experience for me and a surprise given the size of the company.
PTO is on the stingy side, 12 days of vacation a year.
Ease up on the personal mail, we spend the majority of our week in the office...at least let us pick up important deliveries from the mail room, you dont have to deliver it. Remove redundancy from employee tools, kill replicon.

ProsHard work pays off. Orbitz has yet to disappoint me in terms of offering me more responsibility and opportunities to grow. I feel that my boss and the leadership team are invested in me. There are a lot of passionate people at this company. Passionate about the work we do, about technology, about helping other people. The people are another big part of the reason that I have stayed here.
ConsWe try to do too much. Being a full service OTA with numerous brands makes it difficult to focus.

ProsIt is rare you can work at a company that gets to build products for an industry (travel) that is changing as much as it has in the past few years. With the advent of mobile, consumers are traveling in totally different ways and Orbitz is a great place to apply cutting edge technology to these new opportunities. People at Orbitz are smart, very tech savvy, but approachable and willing to learn. Teams genuinely strive to do great work and make a difference in the space. From a ecommerce and mobile commerce perspective - nothing comes close in the Midwest in terms of a place to work that drives this many global transactions and scale.
ConsThe market is competitive and Orbitz hasn't been able yet to really hit its stride. This contrast is drawn sharper by recent competitive wins. Employees are fairly loyal and have been yearning to achieve a breakout year/performance that seems to be just beyond reach. The good news here is that people are genuinely interested in seeing the company and their fellow employees succeed and through their determination/savvy may eventually make it so.
Advice to ManagementAdviceKeep the focus. Build unique and valuable products.
