Charges have been dropped against a Minnesota attorney who was accused of setting his girlfriend on fire.
Sixty-one-year-old David Gherity was charged with first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree arson, but investigators say Gherity had a substantiated alibi at the time of the Feb. 9 incident.
According to the criminal complaint, Burnsville firefighters were called to a condominium on the 12000 block of Parkwood Drive on a report of a smoke alarm. When crews arrived, they found a woman on fire.
The woman lost an ear and suffered burns to her scalp, face, neck, legs and one hand, according to the complaint.
The complaint says an analysis of the woman's clothes found alcohol for drinking, lotion, "and possibly hair spray and fingernail polish remover." The woman, who was in a medically-induced coma until March 7, told police she does not use hair spray, nail polish or nail polish remover.
The incident is still under investigation.

From Switzerland to Saudi Arabia, Filipinos protest pork barrel, too
MANILA, Philippines—From one of the world's major centers of international diplomacy, Geneva, to the deserts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, migrant Filipinos are making their voices heard.
By simply posting protest photos on Facebook or holding their own "picnic" to coincide with the nationwide march Monday in the Philippines, overseas Filipinos express their indignation over the alleged massive misuse of taxpayers' money in Congress.
Junar Elmedo, supervisor and trainer at Crane and Heavy Equipment Operator, posed with fellow Filipinos at a construction site in Dammam, Saudi Arabia to protest the pork barrel fund.
"Even through that photograph we'd like to show our opposition and demand to abolish the pork barrel," Elmedo told INQUIRER.net, explaining that holding protest actions is banned in the Islamic kingdom.
Almer Casio of the Facebook group Filipino Friends In Saudi Arabia posted a photo too of placard-bearing Filipinos in Riyadh.
"As a show of support of our compatriots in Saudi for the widespread call to junk the pork barrel," the caption of the photograph read.
In Bangkok, Thailand, a group of about 25 Filipinos turned what was initially planned to be a welcome party to a gathering to demand for the abolition of the pork barrel system, the arrest, prosecution and conviction of alleged pork barrel scam brains Janet Napoles and her accomplices, and the passage of the Freedom of Information Act that will enable citizens to engage and ensure accountable governance.
"We demand justice for Filipinos who have been duped of their money, especially poor Filipinos who, in fact, are the majority of taxpayers, paying indirect taxes and allocating a big percentage of their meagre incomes for the cost of public services. They have been robbed of the chance to lift themselves out of poverty," Lan Mercado told INQUIRER.net.
The Bangkok-based Filipinos expressed their disgust over "the failure of those in power to address the bane of corruption. We are dissatisfied with President Benigno Aquino's lack of decisive leadership to resolve the massive misuse of public funds through the pork barrel system."
In Geneva, Switzerland, a group of migrant Filipinos gathered at Lac Léman for the "End The Pork Solidarity Picnic" on Sunday.
In San Francisco, California, Filipino veterans and widows kicked off their protest Friday in front of the Philippine Consulate, Gel Santos Relos, news anchor of ABS-CBN's "Balitang America" said in her Facebook post.
Ago Pedalizo, member of the Justice for Filipino-American Veterans , handed to the consulate a demand letter calling for complete abolition of the pork fund, prosecution of the guilty parties, sequestration of properties of all grafters, and for Aquino to divest himself of the presidential pork to set an example, Relos said.
Similar action is set to be held in Los Angeles and New York.
In Hong Kong, Canada, and other parts of the world, Filipinos are also taking action against the pork barrel system.

John Wayne Gacy's blood could solve old murders
Monday - 12/3/2012, 3:39pm EST
By DON BABWIN
Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) - Detectives have long wondered what secrets serial killer John Wayne Gacy and other condemned murderers took to the grave when they were executed _ particularly whether they had other unknown victims.
Now, in a game of scientific catch-up, the Cook County Sheriff's Department is trying to find out by entering the killers' DNA profiles into a national database shared with other law-enforcement agencies. The move is based on an ironic legal distinction: The men were technically listed as homicide victims themselves because they were put to death by the state.
Authorities hope to find DNA matches from blood, semen, hair or skin under victims' fingernails that link the long-dead killers to the coldest of cold cases. And they want investigators in other states to follow suit and submit the DNA of their own executed inmates or from decades-old crime scenes.
"You just know some of these guys did other murders," said Jason Moran, the sheriff's detective leading the effort. He noted that some of the executed killers ranged all over the country before the convictions that put them behind bars for the last time.
The Illinois testing, which began in the summer, is the latest attempt by Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart to solve the many mysteries still surrounding one of the nation's most notorious serial killers. Dart's office recently attempted to identify the last unnamed Gacy victims by exhuming their remains to create modern DNA profiles that could be compared with the DNA of people whose loved ones went missing in the 1970s, when Gacy was killing young men.
That effort, which led to the identification of one additional Gacy victim, led Dart to wonder if the same technology could help answer a question that has been out there for decades: Did Gacy kill anyone besides those young men whose bodies were stashed under his house or tossed in a river?
"He traveled a lot," Moran said. "Even though we don't have any information he committed crimes elsewhere, the sheriff asked if you could put it past such an evil person."
Dart's office said Monday that it believes this is the first time DNA has been added to the national database for criminals executed before the database was created.
"This has the potential to help bring closure to victims' families who have gone so long without knowing what happened to their loved ones," Dart said in a news release.
Receiving permission to use the database posed several challenges for Dart's detectives.
After unexpectedly finding three vials of Gacy's blood stored with other Gacy evidence, Moran learned the state would only accept the blood in the crime database if it came from a coroner or medical examiner.
Moran thought he was out of luck. But then the coroner in Will County, outside Chicago, surprised him with this revelation: In his office freezer were blood samples from Gacy and at least three other executed inmates, all of whom had been put to death there in the period after Illinois reinstated the death penalty in the 1970s. The executions were carried out between 1990 and 1999, a year before then-Gov. George Ryan established a moratorium on the death penalty.
So it was the Will County coroner's office that conducted the autopsies and collected the blood samples.
That was only the first obstacle.
The state sends to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System the profiles of homicide victims no matter when they were killed. But it will only send the profiles of known felons if they were convicted since a new state law was enacted about a decade ago that allowed them to be included, Moran said.
That meant the profile of Gacy, who received a lethal injection in 1994, and the profiles of other executed inmates could not qualify for the database under the felon provision. They could, however, qualify as people who died by homicide.
"They're homicides because the state intended to take the inmate's life," said Patrick O'Neil, the Will County coroner.
Last year, authorities in Florida created a DNA profile from the blood of executed serial killer Ted Bundy in an attempt to link him to other murders. But the law there allows profiles of convicted felons to be uploaded into the database as well as some profiles of people arrested on felony charges.
Florida officials said they don't know of any law-enforcement agency reaching back into history the way Cook County's sheriff's office is.
"We haven't had any initiative where we are going back to executed offenders and asking for their samples," said David Coffman, director of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's laboratory system. "I think it's an innovative approach."

With the lockout in fuill swing, the mass exodus to Europe doesn't look too bad. The biggest name is Deron Williams going to play in Turkey, and up-and-coming Sonny Weems have already committed next year to play overseas. We are sure to see more players begin to pack their bags and take their talents elsewhere, but when will we see BIGGER names move as well. Kobe, a global icon and his hypercompetitive attitude could land overseas. But according to Deron Williams, he sees it as a permanent move versus a temporary move.
The Lakers guard is bound to lose just over 40 million dollars if the owners get the required salary reduction of 33%. For most, that would make you consider whether going is the best option. But the NBA is still the NBA, the mecca of basketball, as for now, for money and competition. Even if Kobe has to take a marginal pay cut, assuming he has been takin care of his money, probably has enough in the bank to last him a long time. So, I belive that money is not the reason why Kobe leaves for Europe, its all about timing.
Kobe is 32 going on 33. He has logged more minutes and games than Jordan did at this point of their careers (mainly because Jordan took time off). Kobe has been biten by small but lingering injury bugs that wont derail his career, but definitely have him on notice about it. Knowing that a possible full year could be lost, a whole year without competition could do a body good, but hinder the mind. Jordan was the uberexception, seemingly coming back to basketball from whatever his prior retirement engagements willed him. But most players, and by most is the 99% that are not Jordan, seem to struggle and never return to their old selves after the stint away from their games. I believe Kobe is that 1% and could take an entire year off to benefit his body, but his competitive mind state has other plans. Kobe will probably play overseas on a temporary contract if the lockout seems to hinder the season. As to the permanent move, I highly doubt Kobe will make that transition now, with his team still able to contend. If he was clearly on the back end of his career, which he still has at least 3-5 years of solid play left, then leaving for Europe for good would be more eminent. But for now, all moves away from the Lakers at least till his contract ends is a temporary move, at least we all hope here in LA.

The Texas Rangers have agreed to a contract with free agent pitcher Roy Oswalt, reports Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, Oswalt just turned down a deal from the Rangers over the weekend, and the club must have restructured their offer to make it more appealing to Oswalt. I had the Rangers as a 4:3 favorite to sign Oswalt earlier this afternoon, and the favorite comes out on top. Oswalt isn't expected to jump right into the Rangers rotation, and will more than likely make a few minor league starts before joining the team. The situation is similar to Andy Pettite's signing with the Yankees, who was signed in mid-April and made four rehab starts before joining the major league rotation. Based on that timeframe, Oswalt could be ready to join the Rangers rotation in mid-June. Oswalt's signing is a huge blow to the Phillies, who just lost Roy Halladay for 6-8 weeks with a strained lat. The Phillies will now need to make do with internal o...

The term "pay to play" is actually a negative phrase in the direct selling and MLM industry. It is used to reference a program which encourages independent distributors to make purchases to qualify for commissions and rank advancement. Obviously, personal use is not unusual in the direct selling industry. However, programs in which distributors are driven to purchase product or service, more by the desire to qualify than by a genuine desire to use the product for personal use, are sometimes referred to as "pay to play," and this may suggest that the product or service does not stand on its own in the marketplace, potentially causing legal issues for the company.

LT: 'We finally came together'
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Philip Rivers never stopped running from the time he left the field.
Eric Weddle, after perhaps the game of his career, was the last player off the field. His smile was ear to ear as he jumped up (way up) to chest-bump big Marcus McNeill.
"Welcome to New York," LaDainian Tomlinson shouted from the doorway to the locker room.
Welcome to a new season.
Midway through 2009, the Chargers are showing they could pull a 2007 redux, only maybe better.
"We just finally came together," Tomlinson said. "It usually takes us awhile to build that whatever you've got to have — that 'it' factor. But when we get it, we get our swagger going (and) it's tough to stop us."
The Chargers had shown they were alive the previous two weeks against weak teams. Yesterday they showed they were vital.
A reborn defense held the New York Giants to field goals late, and Philip Rivers directed his 11th career fourth-quarter comeback, punctuating an 80-yard drive with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Vincent Jackson with 21 seconds remaining for a 21-20 victory that concluded the first half of their season in a way few would have foreseen three weeks ago.
Or five minutes before it happened.
"Our guys rose to the occasion," head coach Norv Turner said. "It wasn't as pretty as you'd like it to be, but I can't think of a better way to win a football game."
Despite just four first-half possessions, despite getting run over at times and not taking advantage of mistake after mistake by their hosts, despite a late interception and return to the 4-yard line that appeared would finally sink them in yet another road loss, the Chargers walked away victors.
Instead of losing another close one and talking about how they were a play or two away, the Chargers found a way to win.
Instead of being .500 again, they are 5-3 and headed home relevant again.
"Coming on the road and winning some games is how you get to where you want to go," linebacker Shaun Phillips said. "We came into a hostile environment and pulled out a big one. We haven't had a big win around here in a (while)."
The Chargers were 0-3 against teams with winning records this season and 10-16 against such teams since Turner took over in 2007. On the road since '07, they were 3-11 against winning teams, including an ugly loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 4.
They had been proclaiming how much better they were than that chilly night by the three rivers. And they had certainly appeared it in going 2-1 in a three-game AFC West stretch. But this was to be a measuring stick, they acknowledged during the week. The Giants, losers of four straight now, are struggling. But they remain a winning team at 5-4 and they are loaded on both sides of the ball.
"We needed to get the confidence we can go on the road and play a good team and come back with a victory," McNeill said. "This was a great moral victory for us as well as a victory."

text: An article at ExtremeTech states that "the QX6700...will be around for a while, but most users won't buy one in lieu of the new CPUs." The comparable "new CPU" is the Core 2 Duo Quad Q6700, which the writer described as "really a multiplier-locked QX6700." So if that's all it is, why shouldn't I buy the older "Extreme" QX6700 (for roughly the same price)? What's better about the new chip? I do NOT overclock, so the unlocked multiplier is not a factor in my purchase decision. Which should I buy?

MERIDIAN, Idaho -- An Idaho company aims to sell more than pet products and commercial pork feed in Taiwan.
Jos Zamzow of Meridian's Dynamite Marketing is homing in on the island's high-performance racing pigeon feed market, an industry worth millions in prize money, breeding stock -- and even illicit gambling receipts.
Zamzow says he stumbled upon the opportunity while working with existing customers of his company's pet and swine products in Taiwan last December.
His company already produces chow for show dogs and Kentucky Derby race horses, so he mixed up a special batch for speedy pigeons to test starting this summer.
Pigeon racing is a big international business. Last month, a buyer in Asia spent $400,000 on a Belgian pigeon. There are even Taiwanese bird-napping gangs who hold champion pigeons for ransom.

It's been four years since Harry Potter changed the theme park experience with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter -- Hogsmeade at Universal Orlando Resort. Over that time, technology has advanced, allowing the team at Universal Creative to build rides that further immerse fans into the world of Harry Potter. The new Wizarding World of Harry Potter -- Diagon Alley doubles the size of the interactive Harry Potter experience. With two new rides and a dozen interactive wand stations, there's plenty to keep fans busy while strolling the streets and shops of J.K. Rowling's world come to life.
"We always rely on new technology to bring experiences that our guests have never felt before and since we opened Hogsmeade four years ago, we were able to get some brand new technology to bring some of the great stories that were in Harry Potter films like Diagon Alley and Gringotts to life in such a way that was not possible before," said Thierry Croup, senior vice president for Universal Creative. "The ride system for Gringotts is a combination of all the greatest ride systems that we've done in the past, but combined together with the control systems you can have today with computers that were not fast enough years ago. We can do things today that are unbelievable, like getting you to plunge down into this incredible cavern miles underneath London."
The multi-dimensional, multi-sensory attraction, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ride seamlessly integrates a compilation of the most innovative technology ever created, including 360-degree themed sets, 4K digital high-definition animation, state-of-the-art 3-D Infitec projection systems and live special effects with beloved characters and breathtaking moments from the Harry Potter books and films.
"Having 4K ultra high definition availability with our projection systems, we are now able to create a seamless environment by taking physical sets and just transitioning them to digital cinema with these huge screens that we built," said Eric Hunt, the Universal Creative Producer on Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. "The new ride system gives us 360 degrees of freedom, which allows us to transfer a guest into an even fuller environment by having more digital screens around us. So wherever we turn there's something to experience."
Another new experience for guests is located within walking distance of Gringotts and within the secret confines of King's Cross Station in the London façade of the new theme park. Aboard a full-scale train, the Hogwarts Express experience combines original storytelling, live special effects, lifelike animation and state-of-the-art technology to take riders on a magical physical journey between London and Hogsmeade, and back. Passengers can enjoy two completely different experiences depending on whether they're traveling to Hogsmeade or London.
Once seated in the cabin, guests will be able to look out their windows at an incredibly authentic and magical adventure before them. They'll see Hagrid come alongside the train on his flying motorbike, Buckbeak the Hippogriff swoop gracefully over the black lake, the Weasley twins on brooms up to their usual antics, the Knight Bus swerving through London traffic -- and other special moments and surprises.
"One of the coolest things is to be able to ride the Hogwarts Express, which is an exact reproduction down to the finest details like the fabrics inside the train, which is from the same manufacturer that made the fabric back in the '50s," said Croup. "The projection technology allows us to have everything you see outside the window on the train transport you into the film world like the British landscape, the Scottish landscapes, the Malfoy manor and then Hogwarts. All that had to be created so you didn't feel like you were in Florida anymore. We had to invent a whole production system that is part of the train, so when you look outside the window you can actually lean against the window and see what's oncoming. This is unheard of. This is very unique technology that we've developed here at Universal."
Those who don't want to wait in line to ride the two featured attractions can buy a custom wand in Ollivander's wand shop (there's a new, larger shop in Diagon Alley complete with an interactive show) and set out to explore the streets and alleys of both Harry Potter worlds. The team at Universal Creative has filled both parks with interactive elements that work with the wands, when coupled with motion sensor tracking motions.
"When you come to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade you can actually practice your magic," said Croup. "You can practice your spells by using the map that shows you where all these magical places are. If you do the right spell something magical happens in the window. There are different ones all over the land and even some in Hogsmeade Village."
Universal's Creative team worked closely with Warner Bros., Stuart Craig and the production team from the Harry Potter films to create both parks. But it's obvious when checking out the four-year-old Hogsmeade and its Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride (which is still entertaining), just how far technology has come. The Creative team has gone to great lengths to ensure the new experiences are true to the books and films. And it means the film world will live on forever in a 3D real-life experience that's simply magical.

(Beirut) - Bahrain's failure to release political prisoners or hold accountable high officials responsible for torture, and its escalating campaign to silence human rights defenders, exposes the government&${esc.hash}39;s fraudulent claims that it is carrying out promised reforms, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2013. In 2012, authorities jailed human rights defenders for participating in peaceful demonstrations and criticizing officials, arbitrarily revoked the citizenship of dozens of opposition political activists, and frequently used excessive force to suppress peaceful protests, as well as those in which demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails. The government shelved the key November 2011 recommendations of an independent commission to address gross human rights abuses during the punishing repression of the largely peaceful mass demonstrations of early 2011. "Unfortunately, 2012 was the year that Bahrain's ruling family showed it prioritizes repression over reform," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "This year the government needs to act on its reform rhetoric by setting free all peaceful protesters, including the protest leaders still serving long prison terms for exercising their right to free speech and peaceful assembly." In its 665-page report, Human Rights Watch assessed progress on human rights during the past year in more than 90 countries, including an analysis of the aftermath of the Arab uprisings. The willingness of governments to respect rights will determine whether the Arab uprisings will give birth to genuine democracy or authoritarianism in new clothes, Human Rights Watch said. Throughout 2012, the authorities regularly rejected demonstration permit requests from opposition groups and, in October, issued a two-month ban on demonstrations. According to opposition groups, at least 25 protesters and bystanders died in protest-related injuries in 2012. At least 15 of the deaths have been attributed to excessive or unlawful use of teargas. At least two security officers died of injuries from a Molotov cocktail attack, and the government said that clashes with anti-government protesters injured 1,500 policemen in 2012. On August 16, a criminal court sentenced Nabeel Rajab, president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR), to three years in prison for organizing and participating in three demonstrations between January and March. In December, the Court of Appeal upheld the verdicts on most of the charges but reduced his sentence to two years. Security forces in December arrested Sated Yusuf al-Muhafadha, acting vice president of the BCHR, and prosecutors charged him with "disseminating false news" for allegedly posting on his Twitter account a photograph of an injured protester shot during an anti-government demonstration in Manama. He was released on January 17, 2013 pending trial. The government has also placed new restrictions on freedom of association. On November 30, 2011, a few days after the Bahraini Lawyers' Society elected new board members critical of government policies, the Social Development Ministry cancelled the election results. In July 2012, an administrative court ordered the dissolution of the opposition Islamic Action Association (Amal) after the Justice Ministry accused it, among other things, of failing to "convene a general conference for more than four years." In November 2011, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), appointed by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, concluded that Bahrain's security forces operated within a "culture of impunity" during the suppression of the 2011 protests. The BICI said that the abuses "could not have happened without the knowledge of higher echelons of the command structure" of the security forces, and called for independent and impartial investigations into allegations of abuses. The government said it investigated allegations of wrongdoing involving more than 120 officers. However, most of the prosecutions involved low-ranking officers and did not include high-ranking officials or any Bahrain Defense Forces personnel. Human Rights Watch has been able to determine that courts have convicted four officers accused in the deaths of two protesters and the permanent disabling of another, and have acquitted at least three. In 2012, the government severely restricted Human Rights Watch's ability to visit Bahrain and report on rights violations, permitting only a very brief visit in April 2012. On January 7, 2013, the Court of Cassation upheld the convictions and lengthy prison terms of 13 prominent dissidents, including life imprisonment for seven defendants, solely for exercising their rights to free expression and peaceful assembly in the 2011 protests. "In 2012, the government shifted from talking about reforms to silencing critical voices, banning demonstrations, and restricting access to independent journalists and rights organizations," Stork said. "These actions thoroughly discredit claims by Bahraini authorities of respecting human rights."

The Promise and Paradox of Cultural Competence

Cultural competence has become a ubiquitous and unquestioned aspect of professional formation in medicine. It has been linked to efforts to eliminate race-based health disparities and to train more compassionate and sensitive providers. In this article, I question whether the field of cultural competence lives up to its promise. I argue that it does not because it fails to grapple with the ways that race and racism work in U.S. society today. Unless we change our theoretical apparatus for dealing with diversity to one that more critically engages with the complexities of race, I suggest that unequal treatment and entrenched health disparities will remain. If the field of cultural competence incorporates the lessons of critical race scholarship, however, it would not only need to transform its theoretical foundation, it would also need to change its name.

broken Linux emulation?
First, many many thanks to nVidia to provide FreeBSD driver. This is absolutely a plus against others.
Now, the problem: nVidia drivers support both native FreeBSD and Linux emulation rendering, but whether FreeBSD native work perfectly, Linux emulation seems to be broken. I have checked many times the README and followed carefully the instruction, tried several drivers versions, search on the forum, but now i am at dead point.
Linux glxinfo report a correct installation (server glx, client glx and OpenGL vendor are all "nVidia"), but direct rendering failed without apparent reason and i obtain a partial acceleration.
It seems that some calls are done in hardware and others in software. This lead to a strange behavior in OpenGL application, with broken textures, flickering poligons and a reduced speed, but not as if it would be done totally in software.
The last thing i tried is to change the osrelease number with sysctl and check the difference with Linux glxinfo:
- sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.2 -> everything OK, but no direct rendering.
- sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4.20 -> segfault
- sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.4 -> segfault
- sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6 -> segfault
- sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 -> segfault
I tried to change the Linux base distribution, but no lucky at all -> segfaults
Any ideas?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for the help

COLLEGE BASKETBALL; President of St. John's Links Woes to Jarvis Era
By RAFAEL HERMOSO
Published: February 8, 2004
The Rev. Donald J. Harrington, the president of St. John's, said yesterday that an incident that began with some St. John's basketball players making a trip to a strip club was not an isolated problem and reflected an atmosphere that had developed around the team.
Harrington, speaking publicly about the incident for the first time, absolved the team's interim coach, Kevin Clark, of responsibility for the actions of several players hours after St. John's game at Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. Harrington said that what he called the culture of the team developed long before Clark took over in December after Mike Jarvis was fired.
Harrington shied from directly blaming Jarvis either, but he referred generally to other problems that have plagued the team in recent months. Jarvis coached St. John's for five-plus seasons. Harrington said repeatedly in an hourlong interview in his third-floor office at Newman Hall that he did not want to cast blame.
When told that his remarks seemed to be placing blame on Jarvis, Harrington said: ''These young men made decisions and they're responsible for those decisions. I know that Mike Jarvis would never want this to happen and I'm sure Mike would've tried to avoid that. You all have written about the struggles of the past year. That's probably about all I want to say.''
Harrington described a culture -- carefully saying he did not mean it in ethnic or religious terms -- that he said had pervaded the basketball program and instilled an attitude that certain behavior was permissible.
What triggered Harrington's comments was an episode early Thursday in which several players went to a suburban Pittsburgh strip club after a game and later had sex at the team's hotel with a woman they had met at the club. She told the police that she had been raped by several players, accusations the police eventually discounted after one player produced video recordings from his cellphone of consensual sexual intercourse and threats by the woman.
The woman was later charged with making fictitious reports to law enforcement, prostitution and criminal theft by extortion.
The university disciplined six players, expelling one starter and moving to expel two others.
Harrington said Clark was not responsible for what happened.
''I do not blame Kevin Clark for this,'' Harrington said. ''Kevin Clark is a fine man. Kevin Clark has, it is my understanding, he has tightened the team policies and regulations.''
The players involved, Harrington said, ''were formed before Kevin was really the responsible one.''
Jarvis did not respond to messages left at his home and on his cellphone.
The past year has been a bleak one for St. John's basketball team. After winning the National Invitation Tournament last spring, considered a consolation prize, the team lost a player, Willie Shaw, earlier this season after his second marijuana-related arrest. Then Jarvis was fired after a poor start and, under Clark, the team is en route to its worst season. It is 5-14 over all and 0-8 in the Big East, and enters today's game with Boston College at Madison Square Garden with an eight-man roster.
Then came Thursday morning's events. With Harrington in Florida to begin a fund-raising trip, the university acted quickly Thursday afternoon to punish the six players.
Grady Reynolds, who was already on disciplinary probation at the university, was expelled immediately. He was charged last year with assaulting a female student; he agreed to go to anger-management classes in settling the case. Elijah Ingram and Abe Keita were suspended, with the university seeking their expulsion pending a hearing Tuesday.
Lamont Hamilton and Mohamed Diakite were suspended from the team, with a hearing Tuesday. Tyler Jones, a freshman reserve, was suspended for today's game for breaking curfew and visiting an inappropriate place, Harrington said.
Harrington talked about problems that had begun under Jarvis, who led St. John's to within a victory of the Final Four five years ago.
''Due diligence led us to believe Mike was the right person, and Mike had some great success in the early years, and all of you I'm sure have some insights on why it didn't continue to be that way,'' Harrington said. ''This is not to continually speak about Mike Jarvis. The real thing I'm focusing on and that we have to address is this. This is not an isolated incident. It's a terrible incident. It's the worst incident we've had, and hopefully we'll never see it again. But it's not isolated. Each of you has written about other incidents in recent months.''
He stopped short of saying that harsher punishment in past incidents could have prevented the latest one.
Harrington said forfeiting the remaining games would have been considered if the players had wanted to, but that St. John's would then be breaking commitments to its opponents and Big East obligations.
Harrington said he would try to answer a fundamental question: what has caused a once-mighty program to fall so far?
''I have been asking myself that question with increasing degrees of intensity the last year as I saw things clearly slipping,'' Harrington said. ''The tendency of some in a situation like this is to look for the person to blame or the persons to blame, kind of the scapegoat approach.''
Instead, he said he would work to fix the problems, using past events as a guidepost without assessing blame.
''I will do all in my power to fix this and to understand what happened so we can be stronger as we move forward,'' Harrington said.

She vowed to be more careful this time. She would not seek anyone's help. Lesson learned. Laney fought back the tears that threatened to fall as she remembered what happened to the last person who tried to help her. She would not make the same mistake. She was on her own, at least until they found her again.
She had traveled as far east as she could, zigzagging along the way to throw off anyone who might be trying to follow. She knew they would never stop looking for her. She was too "valuable" to them, as they put it.
Chapter One-- On The Run
She had attempted to run away once before, but they had tracked her quickly. She shuddered when she remembered the consequences to those that had tried to help her. She closed her eyes and fought back the tears that threatened to flow. Her head bounced slightly against the window as the bus labored on its journey. A distant memory took shape behind her closed eyes.

Episode #30
Lewis Lapham
Monday, December 10, 2012
To talk with Lewis Lapham, you're struck with the sensation that you've stumbled onto the set of a 1940's film noir movie. He wears pressed suits and pocket squares—and his stories evoke another era. Lapham says he's been refining his prose for over 50 years and that he still has to write "three or four or five, sometimes eight drafts of something," but takes pleasure in "getting it right." Before taking the helm of Lapham's Quarterly he was at Harper's for many years—and he started out at The San Francisco Examiner before stints at The Saturday Evening Post and Life.
Hosted by:Alec Baldwin
Produced by:Emily Botein and Kathie Russo
Comments [6]
Great show. Baldwin is the best interviewer ever. Everything about the interviewing is better than I've ever heard.
Thanks for the entertaining and informative podcast.
Now, of course, I want to know more about this "Minksy" person.
Your show blurb says, "This week Alec talks with Lewis Lapham, whose been refining his prose for over 50 years. Lapham says he still has to write "three or four or five, sometimes eight drafts of something," but takes pleasure in "getting it right." Whose? Really? It should be who's or, more properly, who has. Mr Lapham, a wordsmith of significant note, would be furious!
Very interesting interview Alec. Found this timely quote (among a few books of his now on my list) by Mr. Lapham : "Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what's good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country. As a journalist he didn't have to sell out, very admirable. Please have him on the program again, would love to hear his perspective / views on the world banking infrastructure.
Thank you for a very interesting interview with Mr. Lewis Lapham. Nice listening to all he had to say about the 60's and the Beatles. Very enjoyable.
Alec great show,Good,insights,from your point of view,being in "the bussiness"Looking fwd,to more shows,in the new year!Stay well.Happy Holidays,to you an your,newlywed,wife.Peace KJ [\]

The Affordable Care Act passed by Congress and signed by President Obama this year contains some important benefits for Medicare recipients.
If you have Medicare prescription drug coverage, and aren't already getting Medicare Extra Help, Medicare will automatically send you a one-time $250 rebate check after you reach the coverage gap (also called the "donut hole") in 2010. This rebate is the first step toward closing the Medicare prescription drug coverage gap.
