*The Red Dwarf episode D.N.A has a scene where Rimmer, planning to clone himself to come back to life, is examining some of his own dandruff under a microscope while the Cat looks over his shoulder. During a rehearsal, Danny John-Jules accidentally sneezed on the microscope at the end of the scene. The timing was so perfect that the writers put it in the episode.
*From Quarantine, when Lister, Kryten and Cat are using the luck virus to locate what they need to fight Rimmer and Mr. Flibble, Craig Charles collides with and almost trips over the second item. The DVD commentary suggests that wasn't intentional.
*Craig again, from Holoship. Lister eating the cigarette at the end of the confrontation with a hologram wasn't part of the episode script. Apparently he was sick after the scene.
"I don't know why I ate that ****ing cigarette!"
*For Holly's return to the cast in Nanarchy, he had to give a complicated explanation of the episode's events. According to a later interview, Norman Lovett couldn't pronounce a particularly difficult word in the script, which was Holly-ish enough to make it into the episode as 'that word I can't say'.

Went to a jewelry sale party at my neighbor's last night. Anyone else and I would have declined, but I adore Katie and couldn't say no. Of course I "won" a party of my own. Not gonna happen. The guests were fun, but the rest of it left me feeling slightly dirty.

I'm sooooo sorry; I hate those things, too. I refuse to attend them - I can find any excuse, even for my dearest friends, not to go.

Risk mitigation, be it financial or operational, is especially important for mid-market companies where volatility in pressure points can have an immediate, detrimental impact. However, many may have limited forecasting and risk management tools. Mid-market company leaders can integrate operational and financial planning without having to make significant investments in new technology by establishing strong data governance and making better use of existing enterprise resource planning and other systems.

The 2013 regular season is winding down. With just a few weeks left before we can close the book on the regular campaign and switch over to the playoffs, teams are scrambling to position themselves in one of 16 playoff spots. As you might expect, teams are fighting for their lives and playing with added intensity and emotion. What does this mean for Hockey Fights of the Week? Plenty. When emotions and desperation run high, fights become a regular occurrence. When the gloves hit the ice between two teams that are struggling to stay relevant in their hunt for the playoffs, the fights benefit. 5. Jordin Tootoo (DET) vs. Matt Beleskey (ANH) - Mar. 24 It wouldn't be a Hockey Fights of the Week column without mentioning Jordin Tootoo or Colton Orr (spoiler alert: Orr will be mentioned in this article). Tootoo now has eight major penalties on the year while his opponent, Beleskey, has six. We might give Beleskey an edge in this scrap, but it was a nice battle between two NHL tough guys. 4. Tommy Wingels (SJ) vs. Torrey Mitchell (MIN) - Mar. 23 Tommy Wingels doesn't drop his mitts very often, but when he does, he's typically been on the losing side of the fight card. Credit Wingels for his bravery, but here he ends up receiving numerous punches from Torrey Mitchell. One added bonus of a fight between two players that wear visors: lots of uppercuts. 3. Frazer McLaren (TOR) vs. John Scott (BUF) - Mar. 21 This McLaren - Scott battle was sort of an odd one. There was a lengthy discussion between numerous players during a stoppage in play, then McLaren and Scott dropped the gloves at the same time as Colton Orr and Patrick Kaleta. The broadcast had a bit of a tough time finding a proper angle for the McLaren - Scott tussle, but from what we were able to see, Scott landed some bombs. 2. Shawn Thornton (BOS) vs. Colton Orr (TOR) - Mar. 23 See? We told you Colton Orr would play a role in this column. While we didn't highlight his scrap with Patrick Kaleta, this one with Shawn Thornton will have to suffice. Orr and Thornton have quite the history. Their fight above marks the fifth time the two have squared off. We give Orr the victory in this one, but we think it's safe to assume Thornton will have a chance to redeem himself in the near future. 1. Steve Oleksy (WAS) vs. James Wright (WIN) - Mar. 21 The only clear winner in this fight was the fans. Olesky and Wright showed some respect by removing their lids before engaging in one of the most balanced fights we've featured in this column. Previous installments: March 11 - March 17 March 4 - March 10 February 25 - March 3 February 18 - February 24 February 11 - February 17 February 4 - February 10 January 28 - February 3 January 21- January 27 A big "Thank you" to Hockey Fights, our #1 resource for hockey fight videos.

34th Annual 'Woman of the Year' LuncheonEvent Details: 12:00 p.m., April 27, Busch Student Center, Wool Ballroom, 20 N. Grand Blvd., Rooms 170-173, Lower Level, St. Louis, MO, 63103
The 34th-Annual Woman of the Year Luncheon, recognizing the contributions of women to the University, will be held at noon Wednesday, April 27, in the Wool Ballroom of Busch Student Center.
The annual event is sponsored by the Women's Commission, in collaboration with the Office of Diversity and Affirmative Action.
In a tradition which began in 1977, the awards committee of the Commission selected five "Women of the Year" from nominating letters submitted by members of the University community.
Honorees were selected for their personal commitment to the educational goals of the University, and for their unselfish giving of time and effort to the service of others. They are recognized as leaders and role models.
The title of Woman of the Year for 2011 will be awarded to:
- Kathleen (Kathy) A. Day, director of the MBA program in the John Cook School of Business
- Miriam Hallazgo, the School of Medicine SLUCare's director of marketing
- Cheryl L. Cavallo, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Physical Therapy, Doisy College
- Jacqueline A. Jackson, manager in the Department of Public Safety and Security
- Samiksha Tarun, pre-medical scholar and senior in the College of Arts and Sciences
They will be honored at an informal reception at 11:30 a.m., before the luncheon and program at noon.
Everyone in the University community is invited to attend, and individual reservations are $16, paid in advance.
Checks should be made payable to Saint Louis University, and checks or cash should be sent to the Office of the Women's Commission, Room 359, DuBourg Hall.
Reservation forms are available online at the Women's Commission website or may be requested by calling the Office of the Women's Commission at 977-2212.
Inter-departmental purchase orders cannot be accepted.
The deadline for luncheon reservations is April 20. Tables will be assigned in the order in which they are received, so early reservations are advised.
The luncheon is the second recognition event sponsored by Commission and the Affirmative Action Office annually. In December, ten university women were honored at the YWCA Leader Lunch, a tradition with the Commission since 1983.
Information about the Commission or about the luncheon may be obtained by calling 314-977-2212, Womens Commission office, or by visiting the website at wc.slu.edu.

2010 Camaro DriveFinally, the wait is over. After teasing the faithful with the Camaro Concept at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Chevrolet is cranking out new F-bodies from its plant in Canada. As you read this, 2010 Camaros are awaiting customers at dealerships across the country.
First the bad news: For all of you who asked, T-tops will not be an option. The convertible has supposedly been put off until 2011, as has the supercharged, 550hp Z28. It's also about 300 pounds too heavy.
The good news? Just about everything else. Camaro for '10 comes in three flavors: Hot (the base model with a 304 hp, direct injection 3.6-liter V-6), Hotter (the SS with the 6.2-liter L99 V-8, producing 400 ponies with the six-speed automatic) and Hottest (the SS with the 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 delivering 426 hp teamed to the Tremec six-speed manual gearbox). With 426 hp, the shift-it-yourself SS is the most powerful Camaro ever.
You can tell GM was serious about the new F-car because it is world-class in almost every sense of the word. On the road, the body feels like it was carved from billet. It rides like you'd expect from a vehicle costing two or three times more, but not at the expense of razor-sharp handling. The interior materials are many cuts above those ever used in a Camaro before (and they get even better if you order the RS package). Four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS are standard on all models, with the SS getting giant 14-inch, four-piston Brembos at each corner. Twenty-inch wheels are standard on the SS, measuring eight inches wide on the front and nine on the rear. Meaty Pirelli PZeros (P245/45ZR20 front, P275/40ZR20) keep the alloy five-spokes from scraping the ground.
Inside the cockpit, you're greeted with superior ergonomics and an open, airy cabin reminiscent of first-gen Camaros. The openness of the interior is especially surprising given the high beltline and seemingly low roofline. Some we spoke to were put off by the large expanses of plastic on the passenger's side of the dash (a Camaro emblem or script would have broken it up nicely), but at least the area fits in thematically with the rest of the interior.
The stylists have given the car the appearance of a show car, but with the practicality you need in a daily driver. We watched someone 6-foot-7 try out the car and he fit nicely. (Tall people beware: you do lose about 1.5-inches in headroom if you order the sunroof--bear that in mind if your nickname is "Stretch."
The sightlines out of the car are, again, surprisingly good. The side-view mirrors are large enough to limit blind spots (though not eliminate them). As a plus, they also give you lovely views of the bulging rear fenders. The view in the rearview mirror is fair, and will be familiar to anyone who has owned a first-gen.
Length-wise, the latest sampling fits between the first-gen and fourth gen. At 190.4 inches, it's a little over three inches shorter than the last Camaro, but 4.4 inches longer than the '69, the model that inspired its design. The '10 is 1.5 inches wider than the '69 and three inches taller. This latter dimension gives the new car the appearance of being substantially larger than it actually is. The 112-inch wheelbase helps push the wheels out to the ends of the body, giving it a taut appearance. What surprised us is just how tough it looks on the street. It is a supremely modern design that pays homage to the past, but is not a slave to it. More impressive was how it looks going down the road. We were stopped at a light and saw two '10s coming up behind us in the rearview mirror. They were unbelievably aggressive appearing. Like any good design, it makes a bold statement and commands the attention of others.

Lauren Silberman became the first female participant to compete in an NFL regional scouting combine on Sunday. Unfortunately, her tryout was both short and underwhelming.Silberman, who was one of 38 kickers to take part in the combine at the New York Jets' facility, kicked only twice. Both attempts were kickoffs and only one actually crossed the midfield line. In fact, her two kicks combined to travel a total of just 30 yards.She called it quits early after claiming she aggravated a quad injury she suffered during practice the week before.Katie Hnida, the first woman to score a point in a Division I football game, believes Silberman's showing may have actually done more bad than good in regards to other females hoping to pursue the sport."Her performance does not have to do with her gender. It has to do with her experience and her preparation," Hnida, a former kicker for Colorado and New Mexico, told USA TODAY Sports by phone. "Unfortunately, what's going to happen now is she's going to be looked at (as inferior) because she was female."But she was terrible."Hnida is currently recovering from a blood clot that has put her Arena League career on hold.Aside from the fact that Silberman didn't kick too well, Hnida also slammed her for other reasons. Silberman couldn't figure out how to stand the ball on the tee without it falling, she lined up six yards behind the ball instead of the standard approach of 10 or more yards, and Hnida also noted that Silberman's technique was "terrible."Three kickers who tried out along with Silberman said she asked them how to approach the ball on the kick.Silberman didn't take any warm-up kicks before the tryout, citing the fact that she was nursing an injury. Hnida doesn't buy her claim."I also find it curious she didn't warm up. You never go in kicking cold," Hnida said. "There's a reason why the kickers are the first people out there. It takes us a while to warm up."Some now fear that females may have an even harder path to receive a fair shake on the football field, including Hnida."It is disappointing," Hnida said. "I hoped she would go out and do justice for an NFL tryout, because there are lots of people who have dreamed of going to the NFL. It should be something serious."Via USA TODAY
I have a daughter who is 13 and plays football for her Jr high team. She is just not only the kicker but also plays on the offensive and defensive line. When asked by her if I think that she could have the opportunity to play in the NFL someday I just tell her the sky is the limit. I agree that Silberman was set up for failure from the beginning. I believe that she was injured and if she had not been injured maybe she would have had a chance. I believe that exploiting it was just another way to try to let women know where there place is in the NFL. Do I think anyone in the NFL would ever consider picking a woman to play professional football, NEVER!!!
She was setup? She was forced to kick? If you are too injured to give a respectable effort don't do it. That was embarrassing for any female athlete in any sport. Had she ever kicked a football before? That would be like running for President when you hadn't actually had a job or been in charge of..........................nevermind.
Pleaseeeeeeee stop talking about this pointless human. She did NOT tryout for the NFL !! She should get zero credit for even thinking she did !!
If and when a non-male ( women, donkey....whatever ) does get a REAL tryout ( this would mean being at a HQ for a team, with decision makers on hand ) then fine....but this pay to watch me kick an effin 13yrd ( oh wait, she really stepped up on her 2nd kick and smashed a 19yder ) kick is just elfin embarrassing to all huMANs that really deserve a chance.
Go find a pole somewhere and collect those dolla bills yo......
No she didn't tryout for a team but she was invited to the combine. She's a good kicker with an injury, very unfortunate timing for her. If you've seen her in action you would know she's a decent kicker who maybe or maybe not deserved a shot. There have been some bad male kickers that made it to the NFL only to blow games for their teams. As for this Hnida chick who apparently has alot say she should go away for good. She's just jealous she didn't get the shot, probably because she sucks. Better luck next time Lauren!!!
Uh no. You don't get invited to the regional combines. You pay a hefty fee (it's like $215 or something) and you get to try out. If she had performed well enough, she would've been invited to the country-wide combine. You, me, and even stephen hawking could register for the regional combine she took part in with the use of a credit card. After watching that video, it's clear that she did not belong - injured or not. But regardless, just because she was at a "combine" doesn't mean that it wasn't open to the public and she had to show something special beforehand. The more you know!
comment below viewing threshold
No, she was not invited, if your $275.00 check doesn't bounce you're in, you could do it,I could do it, my dog could do it!
No, she's not a kicker, she played club womans soccer, couldn't even make the Wis. womans team. She even said she wanted to go to the combine to get advice from real kickers to "perfect her skills" but it's obvious that she had no skills, she couldnt even stand the ball on the tee!
This is nothing but a publicity stunt, watch her showing up for all the "Good Morning" shows , afternoon talk shows and probably dancing (kicking) with the stars too.
There are probably many female athletes who could have put in a strong showing but from now on when a woman tries out for a male dominated sport all anybody will bring up is this pathetic Silberman joke as proof that it's just a waste of time for women to try out.
She would have done better if she stayed at home and written a thesis on kicking. Know your strong points.
HA! Too funny! Seriously though, if a woman has the leg to do it, the knowledge to be properly prepared and the heart to go out there and boot one then she has my support. I just don't want to hear any whining and crying when a 6'4" 300 lb. lineman runs her over. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off cupcake or hang up your cleats.

Unlike all the men who were complaining that Silberman wasn't "lady like" and needed to "learn her place" (in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, I assume?) my problem wasn't that she was female, but how exactly she qualified for the combine in the first place? It's like something out of a Disney tween movie where the brainiac figures out the mathematical equation to perform athletic feats...This just smelled like a publicity stunt all the way around, and I can't help but think that ol' Roger knew all along that not only was she not good enough, that it would ensure that it would either discourage female players in the near future or keep them from being taken seriously. I'm not speaking as some feminist wanting to break some kind of barrier. This comes from a female football fan who thinks a woman who loves the game as much as I do shouldn't be denied a shot at it just bc she's a female. She just has to be good enough. That's all that matters to me about any player.
I'm a man who loves the game... and I couldn't have said it better myself. She's bad for football and, more importantly, bad for women who want to be taken seriously.
If a woman can perform at the professionallevel,she should go for it.She shoudn't expect special treatment because she a woman either.
Is there any proof that she ever kicked a football farther than she did in this tryout? It looked like she was kicking a medicine ball. 15 yards! You gotta be kidding me, never before in history did a male kicker only kick the ball 15 yards TWICE! Grab some pom poms girls, you'l never play in the NFL.
There's no excuse for having to ask other kickers how to place the ball on the tee, but if you've ever has a blood clot in your leg you would know the pain she was in. She should have canceled the tryout if she knew she had a blood clot.
This was all self-promotion without self-preparation. She couldn't qualify as kicker for a Pop Warner team. She probably used this opportunity to advance her gaming business. Notoriety is all.
she most certainly would have failed if she did not try at all...
absolutely right, the only failure is when you don't try, she tried, its the dreamers who move forward and not the people who sit behind computer screens demonizing those who get off their butts and attempt things.
Your comments are the stupidest things I've ever heard. "the only failure is when you don't try?"
So Germany didn't failed in WWI and WWII?
Absurd. What you two people have is a false belief system and you are trying to alter facts, to support your false belief system.
So when you interview for a job and don't get the job, that's not a failure? Be serious! You FAILED to get the job!
We are raising a generation full of weaklings who feel somehow they have some type of entitlement.
I agree. If she was actually QUALIFIED and even HALF way PREPARED, I would give her kudos for trying. There have got to be at least 5,000 other women and 100,000 men who could put forth a better effort but realize they have to pay their dues in order to EARN a shot at the things they might want. It's one thing to work for a goal. It's another thing to just "give it a try" because "ooh, goodie, I could be a rich, famous kicker in the NFL." I can kind of skate. Maybe tomorrow I'll pick up a stick at Walmart and try out for goalie for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Because I have a dream.
the problem here that you arent getting is that she did try. she was purely for the media. because she tried someone else who may have made a team couldnt because there are only so many spots open at the combine
To be fair, she didn't take anyone's spot. You have to pay a ~$200+ registration fee to try out at the regional combines, and they pick who they deem the most qualified applicants to fill the slots.
She couldn't even place the ball on the tee properly. Poor form throughout the workout. This was to plug her video game and nothing more. What a joke.
"...plug her video game and nothing more". No, this was about plugging her. The men in charge of these events are very adept at singling out women who will "cross the line" and get "down and dirty" to get a try out. Did you see the old fart who walked her over to the massage table? The rest of the contestants could have broke their legs and he wouldn't have given them a second glance. She is a very attractive woman. Those horn dogs didn't care if she could kick or not. And that old man, did he finally work the kink out of her thigh? You betcha! He worked the "kink" out of something else too....Mercy!
Update: March 05, 2013
Isn't it ironic that women who do these things are all beautiful and have bodies built for luv? Do you think if Danika was butt ugly and had a body like Barney Rubble she would be racing in NASCAR? That tramp wouldn't be able to find a sponsor for a go cart.
Does it cheapen the sport? Only if you're a woman. Does it make women look cheap? Of course it does.
I don't really agree with that because Danica is actually pretty good at racing. I don't follow racing at all but I have watched a few times and form what I've seen she can drive a car as well if not better than most of the men in the field. I am a Veteran, was in the Navy, and during the time I was in the military started to integrate women into pretty much any job. by the time I got out the only place women weren't allowed to be stationed was on submarines, and I heard they've since started experimenting with that, so I'm well aware of women doing jobs formally reserved for only men, and I've seen women that can do any job better than any man I've ever met. that being said I believe if a woman can be a football player then she should go for it ... apparently it won't be this girl though ...
Guess video games don't help football kickers improve their performance...
Maybe she could only kick the ball 8-9 yrds before using the video game.
I'm thinking about trying out for the NHL. Anybody know how to lace up a pair of skates?
I'm over 50 and I know I can still boot that thing a good 25 yards. I'd be great for onside kicks. I want a try out... the first over 50 tryout person. Please.
This was a combine and not an actual tryout right?
The regional combines are essentially tryouts, where you pay a registration fee to attend. The top performers get an invitation to the national combine. Despite the outward appearance of this case though, you have to have some qualifications to attend the regional (i.e. college experience).
Why is there such a need for women to do everything that a guy can do?
Let get some facts straight, first.
She was injured.
She had never kicked a football prior to the last several months.
It was a publicity stunt.
She was set up to fail.
One hit from a big lineman that might break through and get to her and she would be done with trying to be a kicker for the NFL
Hnida has a insecurity an Jealous issue like she the king of kickers.. She's a bunch of BS.. At least Lauren went out an gave it a shot .. it's hard enough in a all male sport. I commend her.. at least trying whether she was awesome or not that doesn't matter it was her attempt at it. Hnida should get her head out of her butt an that is putting it nicely. If she is the king of kickers why don't you try .. I'm referring her to the B word here...
She doesn't try... because she has the maturity, integrity and humility to understand that, even though she's a damn good kicker in her own right, she falls short of the minimum standards required to EARN a shot.
I think Hnida has every right to say what she said. She's played division 1 college football, semi-professionally and professionally. Granted it is some arena league, but still, she gets paid to kick footballs on a team with men. She went through the appropriate steps to get where she is, and I would think, realizes she wouldn't make it in the NFL. You commend Silberman for trying? Well Hnida has been DOING it for over 10 years. She paved the way for women like Silberman to even have a shot. My question to you is, if a MALE kicker at the combine, was quoted as saying the exact same things as Hnida, "No preparation, no warm up, doesn't know how to put the ball on the tee, doesn't know how to approach, terrible technique" but also says "I hoped she would go out and do justice for an NFL tryout". Would he be a "jealous king of kickers, who should get his head out of his butt" A lot of the men on this board are echoing the same sentiments as Hnida. She was awful, why sugar coat it. This is the pros, not grade school where everyone gets a trophy cause we don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
I'd rather hear the insult from a guy it would mean more criticized comment and I would take a lot better than coming from Hnida.. 10 years who cares. She still wouldn't make it the NFL>> Period or she'd be in by now!! This wasn't insult/slam from a constructive , intelligent person.. It was a mere B slamming. I'd take a slam over a male than her any day!!
Take Danica with her.
It looks like the armchair flakes are back.
The lady had an injury, end of story. I have seem top level kickers sit the bench because of turf toe. Wow, turf toe!!! Following some of these armchair comments suggests the pro kickers must be panzies which suggests, why pick on her!!
Did that injury prevent her from knowing how to tee the ball?
If she sat on the bench like she should have, nobody would have said anything.
Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance. She did not prepare the way an adult should prepare. She didn't even know how to tee up the ball. What's next, the pro tour even though she doesn't know how to tee up a golf ball?
Stop applying grade school standards to adults. She was in it for the notoriety, that's all.
Is there any vetting in order to try out at the combine? Can anyone try out? She is an embarassment to women-kind! I am a lady of "a certain age" and a huge football fan, but this woman made us all look bad and probably set back women in football by 10 years.
What is wrong with this country? Being politically correct does NOT make women physically equal. Whoever let this woman try out must be nuts. The majority of women do not match up to men physically. I thought the NFL had more sense. Women are on their way to ruining the combat readiness of of the military and now this. Women do not want to hear it and people are afraid to say it but physically women are out of their league competing with men. YES I KNOW THEIR ARE EXCEPTIONS AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE---EXCEPTIONS.
I don't know what this ordeal was. I was embarrassed watching this .It was totally self promotion or she was trying to ruin any chance for any women who are serious about trying out.She looked like Miss Priss who has never played any sport unless it was with a Barbie sports doll.She would not look at the camera or the media as she was interview afterwards.. This had to be the wierdest sports event I have ever watched.
I didn't even watch the vid and don't care to. Some peoeple make VERY valid points and others, well just get the heck off the soap box already. As a female veteran I am going to briefly make comparison; it's like in the Army,some women want to go infantry and such, and some SHOULD be allowed. Yet only IF they are physically and mentally capable. There is a saying to not "bite off more than you can chew". I have seen some female soldiers that put some of the men to shame as far as PT test scores, qualifying with their weapons, and completing a 20 mile or more ruck in full battle rattle with a 240 in tow (one of them happens to by my daughter that is 5 feet tall and 98 lbs). Then there are the ones that complain about everything. Yea again, don't bite off more than you can chew. I just hope that this "publicity stunt" or whatever this lady was doing does NOT hurt anyone else's future chances. I don't personally know her, so not going to bash her, but it would be a shame for future "qualified" candidates to be turned down due to gender bias. To the "tard card" that asked why women always want to try to do what men do, because we can, and if we succeed then why the heck not? Does it threaten you? Affect your money, health, or life? Then sit down and be quiet and live and let live! That is all....
I served in the military for twenty-four years. I have seen a number of women who could complete the PRT test and did quite well. I never saw a woman who put their male counterparts to shame. I have seen that statement on many of the articles on MSN and other websites, but it is generally not true. On rare occasions you will see physically strong women, but that is not the norm and you don't see it as a routine. Five foot-eight and hauling a full ruck twenty miles, I don't believe it!
dont forget she was only 98lbs..makes it even more believable..lol
all well said, until she gets the sh## knock out of her then we have to change the rules.... You must back off and not hit her so hard...... get real!
Army Chica...yep, I too was in the infantry for 23 years. I remember that it was time to get out when the S-4 had to move the port-a-potties around the maneuver field.
You must have been dreaming....or fibbin' to be kind. Female? 98 lbs? with a full 80 lb ruck? 20 miles? She'd be luck to get 20 feet..just like that great female kicker who couldn't kick a ball 10 yars. Stop the BS as we are not buying it like you boy Obama evidently does.
I heard that next up is the MVP from the little people basketball league is trying out for the NBA. Hey, little people can play with the big boys.
Did she even play soccer?
If women want to try to do what men do, then there is no need for womens sports let them try out with the men and win a spot on the team.
PITIFUL - Just plain pitiful. The woman shouldn't be allowed within a 100 yards of another football field for making a mockery out of this opportunity. If she had an injury, stop wasting everyone's time & go home. She clearly embarrassed herself. But, she also embarrassed the NFL people who even let her on the field. Please lets all stop talking about this loser right now. She doesn;t deserve another nano second of attention.
I am a female. I agree there are SOME things that males are just physically capable of doing that women cannot do. And vice-versa. Try having a baby thru your private parts!
I find it hard to believe by the way SOME of you belittle women that you were actually raised by women. I pray you don't have daughters. They will find men who will treat them exactly how you are talking. Belittle them, treat them like 2nd class citizens & expect them to call them HO's!
So sad!
Dear So sad....you should have stopped with your intelligent and thoughtful and logical first sentance. The second part of your less than thoughtful comment shows exactly why women should not participate in men's sports or do other tasks for which they will never be capable or qualified. I trust you would allow men to try out for a female pro team, get paid $$$$thousands to do it too. Heck there'd be no 'all-female' sports team left in the pros or elsewhere.
Keep drinking the KoolAid too....ok!
so lets say she kicked the **** out the ball...booted it 70 yards...then lets say some team signs her...Then comes her first game...kicks the ball 2 yards deep in the endzone but the returner decides to take it out and oh look he breaks free with 2 blockers out in front and only the kiceatorsker to beat...that chick would DIE when one or both of the blockers came running full speed at 260lbs right through her!....it was the stupidest thing in the world for her to ever try...i dont care how good they think they are no women ever needs to be in the nfl..guess what women..get it in your head..you cannot do everything a man can do...stick to being a women and do what women can do best..we love you for that...and no this isnt some male pig rant this is simply the facts!!
She has supposedly has credentials from Wisconsin University that she played soccer there, she doesn't even kick the ball like a sidewinder soccer player. Fake, she is an embarressment to all women in sports.
This article concludes with "At least she had the courage". Her display DID NOT take any courage. She is nothing more than a publicity seeking hound. Perhaps she needs another run through Wisconsin and MIT so she can learn how to place the ball;must have missed that in one of her courses.
How will humanity, and the future of womankind, ever recover from this devastating blow?!? [insert sarcasm here]
@schlotterer, read your post again, and you're right we would not even attempt to give birth. we leave that to WOMAN.......WE have enough common sense to know NOT EVERYTHING IS EQUAL AND SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE. Suppose men wants to join woman team sport how is that fair to the other team? you know it wouldn't sad part of it you won't admitted
For everybody trash talking her efforts. Just think...next time you work up the courage to try something or your little bastard fails at something. There will be some other useless cynical loser thinking the same about you.
you call that efforts???? just like SAT you get points for printing your name in the correct box...help me GOD
Courage...your clueless. This was nothing more then a girl trying to get attention. She didn't even know how to setup for the kick. All she did was hurt the image of real female kickers. Why any one would defend her is beyond me.
No problem! She be on SPECIAL special teams. On-side kicks only!
yes and get her bell ring by an 250lb player..... ouch!!
this is just a political stunt, I am glad NFL allow this to proceed, just to proof a point "not everything is equal" the only things should be equal are Pay, position in job field....Man's build and woman's build is night and day, we don't try to be like woman and woman shouldn't try to be like men..... lastly yes you have a woman just won in the MMA do you want to schedule a fight with the men's..... this time think be fore you speak!! YES I LOVE WOMAN!!!!!!!!
Heyyyyyyyyy so many haters! She deserves a big trophy for participation. Winning and/or accomplishment is no longer important. Tell women for fifty years they can do anything a man can, and just as well, this is what you get.
It would look better for her if she had withdrawn "due to injury" rather than trying WITH the injury. That would have accomplished two things. First: she wouldn't have failed miserably due to a physical injury. Two: It would have eliminated all of the ridiculous commenting found on this site due to mental defects or character flaws.
For everyone that believes a woman should play professional football here's a juicy tidbit for ya. I personally can not wait to see what happens when a 325lb defensive end comes down on this kicker full speed. I'd pay twice the admission of a front row seat to see that. Now, think she should still play football?
Katie Hnida,just keep drinking the KoolAid in the PC era of sports and sports coverage. You took a job from other athlete that was more qualified.
Too bad these days that these types of females will soon be joining the infantry and getting themselves and others needlessly killed.
What a joke. She should never of been allowed on the field and if she was hurt she should of said something. She was embarrassing and I think my 12 year old would of done better and he's never kicked a football. Football is a game for men not women and that's how it should be. What if I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader should I have that right. I'm not good enough to play on the men's PGA golf tour why can't I play on the woman's tour if I'm good enough. Just plain silly.
if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.....
So much indignation, anger, and attention being given to this young woman for having a little fun. You pay a few hundred dollars to participate in this tryout. My grandmother could have done this if she had had the inclination.
The question is not why she was at this pay-to-participate tryout. It seems she was just having a good time and getting some cool life experience. The real question is why so many are hating on her for doing it. Angry that their own lives are so dull and resentful of anyone that finds a unique way to have some fun?
It seems like this was just to promote her business. She failed terribly and it makes me wonder about any business skills too.
The best way to feel good about youself and your efforts is to criticize others for failing in theirs....
You must be feeling pretty good right about now!

Sprinter to shut down for up to 4 months
Starting at midnight, North County's Sprinter light-rail will shut down for up to four months due to brake "maintenance issues," the North County Transit District said Friday afternoon.
The agency said the length of closure is unknown "but may last from 60 to 120 days."
During the closure, buses will be used to ferry the thousands of passengers who use the Sprinter along its Oceanside to Escondido corridor, the agency said. It said it had been developing such a plan "for the past week."
"The primary concern of the transit agency is the safety and welfare of our passengers and staff. NCTD is taking every prudent measure to assure the safety of our riders and at the same time to continue to serve the transit public," Friday afternoon's NCTD statement said.
This weekend, NCTD will operate special express buses between the Oceanside Transit Center and the Escondido Transit Center. The express buses will run every 30 minutes and make stops at Vista Transit Center, Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos.
Bus replacement plans beyond this weekend are still in the works, the agency said. It encouraged the public to check its website at www.gonctd.com.
Earlier Friday, the agency canceled a Saturday event to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the light-rail system. Officials confirmed on Friday night they were investigating rapid wear on the trains' central braking system.
Sprinter trains continued to run Friday morning, but at reduced speeds due to concerns over the braking system, said Frances Schnall, an NCTD spokeswoman. The slowdown was expected to delay Friday's remaining Sprinter trips by up to 30 minutes, the agency reported.
The decision to slow the speed of the trains was voluntary, and was made out of an abundance of caution, Schnall said.
The cancellation of Saturday celebration was posted Friday on the Twitter account of the North County Transit District. The agency has scheduled a 2:30 p.m. news conference to discuss the braking issue and perhaps announce whether the system would be shut down.
Sprinter riders in Escondido and San Marcos said Friday that a shutdown would not only inconvenience their daily routines, but also cause them to spend more money to reach their destinations. Several said it would take 30 to 60 minutes longer for each leg of their commute if they had to rely on other transportation.
"I'd have to take the bus. It would take longer to get to school," said Kiah Gravesen, 17, a junior at Vista Visions, an independent study school. Gravesen, who was at the Escondido transit center waiting for her train to the school, estimated that it would take her an hour longer each way due to waits for connecting buses.
Most of the Sprinter riders interviewed Friday said they trusted the transit district to ensure the safety of the train system. A minority did express concern about maintenance and repair of the trains.
"I feel always a little scared riding it, because you never know," said Lisbet Penalosa, 20, a medical assistant who commutes from San Marcos to her work office in Escondido. "I feel a little more scared now."

Some of the coolest people in the world seem to be on this site. Most users are friendly, polite and super encouraging.

One of the coolest things about Korn is that they keep video of time in the studio. I absolutely love watching bands writing their songs. The birth of an album is fascinating and all the Korn members seem to have a strong personality on camera. I wish more bands would film the songwriting experience.
A couple people asked for my Facebook. While I'm sure you are cool individuals I can't comply because I don't have a Facebook account, and never will. While I admit Facebook has some cool things, it's a privacy nightmare and super commercialized. Not only that, but now governments and business are creating fake people on Facebook to try to change people's opinions. I understand some of you...

I was 18 years old (sheltered life) and it was a few days before Halloween when I went to my first concert. Some of the bands playing were five finger death punch, airborne and sixx am (who I believe were performing for the first time) and last but not least, Korn. It was a hell of a first concert. I remember heading to the restroom between bands where I found to my dismay I had put my boxers...
Korn fans are so damn friendly.
You hate me cuz I'm not like you You try to tell me things are through As time passes you try to see Another way to torture me Although you know that I wont break My mind you try to complicate And while life you disorganize You'll never reach into my mind
I was thinking the other day how cool it would be to have a poster with all the lyrics from an album on it. It could be done in an artistic way, like in the shape of the band members. I know I would buy that kind of poster. I'm sure I'm not the only one. If anyone is interested in either creating it, or would want one let me know. Maybe we can make it and then give it to the band as a token of...
I grew up in a family where hard rock was not allowed. As a kid, ifI got caught listening to music like Korn I was in big trouble. If my parents found any of my CDs, the would break them and throw it away.

DeCastro eager to playPosted by on December 12, 2012 – 9:56 pm
Steelers guard David DeCastro doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, but he is definitely eager to get back on the field this week, with the potential to start at right guard against the Dallas Cowboys.
"We believe that his health is at a level now that we can put him in and watch him prepare during the course of the week," said Coach Mike Tomlin. "If we like what we see, he may have an opportunity to play."
With left guard Willie Colon out after knee surgery, the Steelers could move right guard Ramon Foster into Colon's spot and start DeCastro on the right side if he has a good week of practice.
"I am extremely eager," said DeCastro. "That is what I have been working the past couple of months for. I have been injured, doing rehab, and you set a goal like this to get back out there and play."
DeCastro saw limited action for the first time this season when he was on the extra point and field goal units against San Diego. While it was only a few snaps, for him just playing was a bonus after he has been out all season after suffering an MCL injury in the preseason. Now he is ready to take it to the next level.
"I definitely know the system," said DeCastro. "It's just a matter of getting back out there, first game, real live action. It's a little different than practice. I feel great in practice and have only been out there the last couple of weeks and haven't taken any steps back.
"It's one of those things where I was getting comfortable every week. Every week has gotten a lot better, which is positive. It's gotten better every week so it should keep going upwards."
DeCastro, who will wear a knee brace on Sunday, said he feels confident and isn't worried about how his knee will react in game action.
"After the last couple of weeks practicing you get more comfortable with it," said DeCastro. "I feel confident in it. I am good.
"I might be a little nervous, but that is natural. It would be a problem if I wasn't."
* * *
Receiver Mike Wallace heard something at Heinz Field last week that he hasn't heard since playing with the Steelers – fans booing him.
While Wallace caught two touchdown passes against the Chargers in a 34-24 loss, he also dropped a pass that brought on boos, but said it didn't get him down.
"It's not like I am surprised or upset, if I handled my business or did my part nothing would go on," said Wallace. "There's not too much to say about it. They have their right, people do whatever they want. Anything I do is going to be magnified. I just have to do what I need to do and don't give anybody a reason to say anything. Whatever happens I take full responsibility for it."
Wallace said he needs to "be a better player," but there isn't any lack of effort on his part.
"I know that and I work hard at it every single day. I would love to make every play. I just have to keep working at it."
* * *
Cornerback Ike Taylor missed his first game since 2004 last week when the Steelers hosted the Chargers, something that was tough for him. And while he will miss this week's game against the Cowboys as well, his hope is to get back on the field this year, but he couldn't commit to anything.
"Right now it's going really well," said Taylor. "The process is going really fast. I wish I had a genie bottle. I wish I could make things happen fast, come back and give you a timetable. The process is going fast."

Final Score: Maryland 36, Temple 27
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Freshman quarterback Perry Hills threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, as the Maryland Terrapins defeated Temple, 36-27, in non-conference action at Lincoln Financial Field.
Marcus Leak caught one of those TD passes and finished with 90 yards receiving for the Terrapins (2-0), who were coming off an ugly 7-6 win over FCS school William & Mary in the season opener.
Chris Coyer put forth a strong effort for the Owls (1-1), throwing for two touchdowns while also leading the team with 53 yards on the ground.
Temple turned the ball over twice in its first four offensive plays, although Maryland could only capitalize with three points.
Early in the second quarter, Maryland broke a 3-3 tie on Hills' 22-yard touchdown pass to Matt Furstenburg.
The Terps extended their lead to 17-3 at the 6:19 mark of the second quarter, as Hills found a wide open Leak for a 32-yard scoring strike on a well- executed play-action pass.
Less than a minute later, Temple surrendered a safety when a shotgun snap sailed over Hills' head and into the end zone. On the play, running back Matt Brown injured his right ankle and had to be helped off the field, although he would later return.
Later in the second quarter, Maryland pushed its lead to 26-3 on a broken play on 3rd-and-goal. The shotgun snap got away from Hills, but he calmly picked up the ball and scampered 11 yards into the end zone.
However, the Owls came out of the locker room on a mission in the second half. The defense recovered a fumble on the first play from scrimmage, setting up a one-yard touchdown plunge by Kenneth Harper four plays later.
Shortly after a 26-yard field goal by Maryland's Brad Craddock midway through the third quarter, Coyer took a shot downfield and found C.J. Hammond for a 62-yard touchdown pass to cut the deficit to 29-17.
The Owls continued to fight their way back in the fourth quarter, as McManus made a 40-yard field goal with 13:46 remaining to make it a 29-20 game.
With just over nine minutes to play, Temple had a 1st-and-10 at the Maryland 12 after recovering a muffed punt. However, the Owls came away with no points as McManus had a short field goal attempt blocked. But on the very next play from scrimmage, Maryland gave the ball right back when Wes Brown lost a fumble near midfield. That turnover resulted in a 35-yard touchdown pass from Coyer to Jalen Fitzpatrick on a 3rd-and-1, trimming the margin to 29-27 with 7:04 remaining.
Despite the Owls' valiant second-half charge, Maryland iced the game with an 11-play, 75-yard drive, punctuated by Justus Pickett's seven-yard TD scamper with just under three minutes to play. That back-breaking score was set up by a 38-yard completion from Hills to Stefon Diggs, which gave the Terps a first down on the Temple 11.
The Owls were without running back Montel Harris because of a hamstring injury. Despite the absence of Harris and a limited Brown, the Owls ran the ball 39 times to only 18 pass attempts, and they averaged just 1.3 yards per rush. After a lackluster offensive showing against William & Mary last week, the Terps managed 12 first downs in the first half alone -- one less than they managed in four quarters against W&M.

The Everywhere Footprints of Captain John Montresor
Written by staff on December 18, 2013 — 3 Comments
This post was written by Mariam Touba, Reference Librarian for Printed Collections. Fictional works—movies, most memorably—depict characters like Forrest Gump or Woody Allen's Zelig who manage to turn up at every major historical event alongside the world's movers and shakers. A nominee for such a real-life character in 18th-century America would be John Montresor. Unlike […]

swreader wrote:I think the problem I now have with IT is that Terry is partially still doing the "spot-the-reference" thing, which gets old after one or two readings. The thing that frustrates me about this book is, I think that he tried to do too many different things and ends up doing none of them very well.
For example, there are themes--"civilization" vs. "barbarian", for example, that deserve more development than I think he gives. The Empire sees itself as the pinnacle of civilization, but, in fact, it is much more corrupt and vicious than the Barbarians. And these Barbarians, on the other hand, don't act in their typical Barbarian fashion (thanks to the instruction of the Teacher). They are more "civilized" innately--i.e. straight-forward and meaning what they say--than the Empire's type of civilization.
The whole concept of the Silver Horde has annoyed me ever since I first read this book. Granted Cohen and Teach are almost the only developed characters among the horde, but the idea that they can still defeat overwhelming forces BECAUSE THEY'VE LEARNED HOW THROUGH EXPERIENCE is pushing the concept of learning by experience farther than it can go. I don't find them funny--but rather a bit sad.
Terry seems to use "The Red Army" to allude both to the Chinese Terracotta Warriors. He may also be drawing on Classical Mythology's legends of raising warriors from Dragon's Teeth. Rincewind certainly does not intend to activate the legendary Red Army (which seems to have very modern robotic elements) or to bring it to crush the people's oppressors. He's only trying to get away. And, he has no idea how to use them in an effective way, or even to get out of the one he's in. So, it turns out that there is indeed some truth to the legend of the Wizzard and the Red Army.
But the individuals who call themselves the Red Army, whose main actions seem to be their pasting up slogans (incredibly polite but not very effective), were to succeed in overthrowing the existing government, Terry makes it obvious they have no idea of what is needed or how to improve the lot of the people they are supposed to be helping. If they are (I think) a parody of the Red Guard of the Cultural Revolution, they are less than effective. After all--when Rincewind asks the farmer who's holding the water buffalo by a string what he'd like if things were to change, it's clear that these people have been so conditioned by their society (which uses something worse than whips) that neither the peasants nor their "liberators" have any idea how to make the country better.
My problem is that I think parts of this are marvellous--but when shoved into one book, it just doesn't work for me.

one thing that i have wondered if anyone else has thought about is the possibility that the horde was based on the seven samurai? which is Japanese, and there a 7 members of the horde including teach, however i don't really know very much about the seven samurai.

In the three movies mentioned above, the 'seven' were hired by poor villagers to protect them from bandits. In Interesting Times the seven are very much working for their own interests.
Oh for a game of chess with someone like Lord Vetinari. No doubt he would carefully watch the board for three hours before he even made his first move...

Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who loved to sing. They all met in high school, and discovering that they shared an affection for music and entertaining, they dreamed of becoming like their idols-the Four Aces, the Four Lads, the Four Freshmen, the Hi-los and the Crew Cuts. They rehearsed in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company. It was here they became Forever Plaid. Although rock 'n' roll was quickly overtaking the sounds of the '40s and '50s, the Plaids believed in their music. They sang at family gatherings and fund-raisers and eventually graduated to supermarket openings and proms. Then, finally, they landed their first big gig at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar-the Fusel Lounge. But, while they were driving in their cherry-red 1954 Mercury convertible and rehearsing their big finale, they were slammed broadside by a school bus filled with eager Catholic teens. The teens miraculously escaped injury, but the members of Forever Plaid were killed instantly. Then, some 40 years later, through the power of Harmony and the Expanding Holes in the Ozone Layer, in conjunction with the positions of the planets and all the other astro-technical stuff, they are allowed to come back to perform the show they never got to do in life.

Have We No Shame?
Shame peaked when Nathaniel Hawthorne slapped Hester Prynne with that scarlet A a couple hundred years ago, and it's been going out of fashion ever since. To a certain extent, good riddance; for most of the last few thousand years of Judeo-Christian morality, public shame has been more oppressive than moral, the judgment of a tyranny of collectively held values rather than an expression of values worth being held. In an age, however, when privacy becomes more obsolete, due not only to the state monitoring our lives as in the recent NSA scandal but also to our communal acquiescence of privacy, shame becomes obsolete: A jury's verdict notwithstanding, there's no indication whatsoever that George Zimmerman feels the slightest twinge of remorse let alone shame over shooting to death an unarmed teenager; and what Paula Deen fights for isn't redemption from the shame of exposing herself as a racist but rather the resurrection of her career, and maybe some comprehension of how everything can go so wrong from having said just one silly word of no consequence, other than its association with four centuries of slavery, bondage, lynchings, and humiliation.
The mayor of San Diego professes enough contrition to say he's sorry for intimidating and manhandling the women who work for him and to check himself into sleazeball rehab, but not to resign his job, which a modicum of sincere shame would dictate to anyone who understands shame well enough to know it's not supposed to be a tactic. If a former congressman's campaign for mayor of New York is moments away from extinction (it may be over by the time you read this), it's not out of any sense of shame but because his candidacy has embarrassed itself to death, which isn't the same thing. This entire episode—it seems some sense of shame on the part of us writing about it should inhibit us from giving these people's names any more print than necessary—is instructive both for what it has been and what it hasn't: Particularly given the connection to the Clintons by way of the mayoral candidate's wife, the affair of a former president and his knickers-flashing intern two decades ago now is back in our memory. While on the one hand it might be argued that sexting is a lesser infraction compared to actual sex, the public finally concludes the sexting is less forgivable not because it's more or less wrong, not because it's more or less shameful, but because it's weirder. In the public lives we now live, when embarrassment crosses over into weirdness, creepiness is inevitably the next country, where shame is an undocumented alien and sociopaths who sexually torture children declare themselves "the best daddy in the world," as one did in a Cleveland courtroom yesterday.
As a rule politicians can't be claimed to have a high shame threshold since that presumes a threshold exists at all. For the most part, like the movie stars with whom they have so much in common—which accounts for their growing interchangeability in career paths—most politicians have no private selves to speak of; staring into the mirror in the solace of their bathrooms, they still see a crowd reflected in background. Alone, they cease to exist even to themselves, and it's been that way for at least the hundred years that mass media has existed; so the question is whether the public's collective sense of shame—defined by at least one dictionary as "dishonor"—has changed as well, and how much our collective sense of honor has changed with it. Some of this involves our growing sophistication by which we now make distinctions among human failings (politicians and sex), civil corruption (a Virginia governor who believes his position extends him a credit card, all transactions posted against the public trust), and matters somewhere between the two (the former governor and current congressman from South Carolina, who conducted an international affair at taxpayers' expense), and by which we judge when responsibility is called for and when it isn't. Nonetheless, at a time when a United States Senator from Louisiana politically survives his adventures in a brothel, the nearly instant resignation a few years ago—without any outside pressure to push him out—by the governor of New York for similar encounters with a prostitute now appears positively quaint, which may be why his episode is barely an afterthought in his rather modest current quest to become Manhattan's head bean-counter.
If there's no such thing anymore as a private personality, only a public one, and if public shame no longer exists as a result, then we can only hope it isn't because private shame no longer exists either. From "reality" TV to digital media everyone now lives out public lives, which involves a new social skillset that by definition excludes shame; rather the metrics of our public lives calibrate some balance of style, provocation, and the most agile dance possible along the shore of embarrassment's rubicon. Shame is a more profound sense of personal mortification that may be beyond us.

"A jury's verdict notwithstanding, there's no indication whatsoever that George Zimmerman feels the slightest twinge of remorse let alone shame over shooting to death an unarmed teenager"
You have absolutely no way of knowing that. Would you have Zimmerman make the tour of TV talk shows expressing his sincere remorse? Would that satisfy you? Of course not, because you would then simply say, for good reason, that he was being self-serving. For Zimmerman, that sort of thing is a lose-lose, no matter what he does. Better to simply keep his thoughts to himself.
As to shame, why would Zimmerman feel shame? He did nothing wrong. He defended himself. Rather than Zimmerman feeling shame, it is our society that should feel shame that a 17-year old felt the need--and the right--to attack a man who was doing nothing more than following him.
Sat, 2013-08-03 19:01
Your rather hypocritical, you ask the author how they know Zimmerman felt know shame, but in then go on to say Zimmerman "did nothing wrong", just because the murderer was found "not guilty" does not mean he did NOTHING wrong. Furthermore, following someone is not a right in America, in most states it is an act of aggression in of itself. Your comment illustrates ideology more than psychology, one can say Zimmerman killed in self-defense, but no reasonable person could say he did "nothing wrong", we will see what happens in the next phase...
Sun, 2013-08-04 14:30
A guy following me at night carrying a gun in a neighborhood I have a right to be in? And HE's the victim if I decide I have the need to defend myself? . . . or maybe if I decide I need to "stand my ground."
I am armed with a sidewalk, after all. (Actual claim made by Zimmerman's brother and the defense.)
Next point?
Fri, 2013-08-02 15:22
Sat, 2013-08-03 00:22
We do not know that Zimmerman WAS defending himself; we only know that there was not enough evidence to prove he was NOT defending himself, so legally he has to go free. The evidence that DID come out, however, strongly suggests that, even if at the very END of the encounter he had to defend himself (with a gun against an unarmed child who was probably in fear that Zimmerman was following him IN ORDER to take his life), he was the one who PROVOKED the encounter, posing an apparent threat to Martin, until Martin began to succeed in protecting HIS life, until the (concealed) gun came out. This is the problem with the SYG law: it allows an aggressor to PICK A FIGHT, provoking his intended victim into fighting back, then use that fighting back as an excuse to kill the victim. And although the recently passed SYG law was not specifically mentioned as a defense, the jury's instructions had almost exactly the same wording as that law.
As to Zimmerman himself, as Hamlet said about his mother's apparent adultery, "Leave him to Heaven." But here on Earth, we need to prevent future Zimmermans from doing the same thing and expecting they will also go free by shrewdly using the SYG principle. The fact that Zimmerman was not arrested until public outrage forced an arrest; the fact that evidence which could have been crucial was poorly stored, as if with an intent to compromise it; the fact that the police did not even try to use his cellphone to identify Martin and notify his family (really holding human life sacred, right?), so that his father had to file a missing person report and only three days later found out his son was dead and his body was in police custody all along; all point to the local police having NO INTENTION TO INVESTIGATE A HOMICIDE, because they, like Zimmerman, placed no value on a black boy's life. The State Attorney's office finally had to go through the motions of a prosecution they never intended to make, so OF COURSE the prosecution was incompetent! It reminds me of a typical Jim Crow sheriff who was told that a black man's body was found wrapped in chains at the bottom of a lake, and responding, "Just like a dumb n* to STEAL more chain than he could SWIM WITH."
And to the person who said he had nothing to be ashamed of, or to feel guilty about, most decent people, when forced by war, duty, or self defense to kill another, even knowing they were legally in the right, STILL feel shame and guilt for having to go to that extreme. Only people with no feelings for others can just consider it a day's work and go on their way.
Shakespeare said "Leave them to Heaven." Some of us today will not even listen to Heaven.
