James LJ, Lord Denning MR, Stamp LJ
Evidence, Health Professions
Mrs D had been treated at hospital, and sought release of her records to establish whether she had any basis for a claim in negligence. The court considered whether an application under section 31 of the 1970 Act for pre-action discovery had been properly made. Given the delay, the court was asked whether a claim was 'likely' to be made. Held. Whether the parties are likely to be parties in subsequent proceedings does not depend on the state of affairs prior to pre-action discovery. If one concentrates solely on things as they stand prior to pre-action discovery then it will often be impossible to say that anyone is likely to be a party to any subsequent proceedings.
Lord Denning MR said: "One of the objects of this section is to enable a plaintiff to find out before he starts proceedings whether he has a good cause of action or not". likely must be given its more extended and open meaning. A more restricted meaning would defeat the purpose of the statute.
James LJ said: "In order to take advantage of the section, the wording of which is no different from that of s 33(2) of the 1981 Act the applicant for relief must disclose the nature of the claim he intends to make and show not only the intention of making it but also that there is a reasonable basis for making it. Ill-founded, irresponsible and speculative allegations or allegations based merely on hope, would not provide a reasonable basis for an intended claim in subsequent proceedings."
Stamp LJ dissented, saying that the expert's opinion was that proceedings were unlikely, and disclosure was unlikely to produce anything to justify it.

Crime, Evidence, Commonwealth
(Victoria) A young girl was sadistically murdered. The two accused, were present and the crime was committed by one or the other, or both. Each brought evidence of the unlikelihood that he could have committed the murder. L emphasised his good character and said that because of fear of K he had been unable to prevent the murder. K said that he had been under the influence of drugs and had been powerless to prevent L from killing the girl. Despite L's objection, K was allowed to call a psychologist as to their respective personalities and, on that evidence, to invite the jury to conclude that it was less probable that K was the killer. They were both convicted. L unsuccessfully appealed to the Supreme Court of Victoria on the ground, inter alia, that the psychologist's evidence ought not to have been admitted. Held: Only in exceptionl circumstances can expert evidence be admissible as to the likelihood of the defendant's veracity. The evidence of the psychologist was relevant in support of K's case to show that his version of the facts was more probable than that put forward by the appellant. Accordingly the Privy Council dismissed the appeal. Evidence is relevant 'if it tended to show that the version of the facts put forward by one co-accused was more probable than that put forward by the other'. The Board approved a statement as to the law: "It is established by the highest authorities that in criminal cases the Crown is precluded from leading evidence that does no more than show that the accused has a disposition or propensity or is the sort of person likely to commit the crime charged; .. it is, we think, one thing to say that such evidence is excluded when tendered by the Crown in proof of guilt, but quite another to say that it is excluded when tendered by the accused in disproof of his own guilt. We see no reason of policy or fairness which justifies or requires the exclusion of evidence relevant to prove the innocence of an accused person."

If he is asked whether he has been convicted he need not answer. He can say "No"."

Lawton LJ
The plaintiff sought damages from the loss of a diamond deposited with the defendant bank as security. He asked to present evidence about the experience of another customer who had lost jewellery he had deposited with it. Held: The proposed evidence was admissible. (Lawton LJ) If a defendant in this class of case said "My system for safeguarding customers' property is a reasonably safe one" it is relevant for the plaintiff to call evidence to show that experience should have taught the defendant that it was not a safe system. The evidence was also admissible in order to rebut the suggestion that the bank was unfortunate in losing the customer's property albeit they used all reasonable care to safeguard it. "A fundamental principle of the law of evidence, both in civil and criminal cases, is that evidence must be confined to what is relevant. In general, if there is an issue whether A did a particular act on a particular day, then the fact that he may have done the same act on another day is not relevant to that issue. To that fundamental rule there are a number of exceptions." and "That principle of law [from Makin] in criminal cases applies equally in civil cases." (Megaw LJ) "There was a good deal of argument before us by counsel on each side: counsel for the plaintiff appellant seeking to show the similarities between matters arising in the present case and matters involved in the previous incident as to which it is sought to adduce evidence; counsel for the defendant respondent seeking to stress the differences between the two.
It is no objection to such evidence being tendered that it relates to one previous incident only. It does not need to be a defective 'system'. It is no objection to the evidence being tendered that it is going to be contended on behalf of the defendant employer that the previous alleged incident did not happen at all, or that, if it did happen, there were material differences which would prevent it from having any substantial bearing upon the instant case: as, for example, where the claim by the employee is that he tripped over some piece of plant or some object left on the floor which ought not to have been there and evidence is given of another similar accident on a previous occasion, it would be no objection to the admissibility of the evidence if the case for the employer defendant was to be that, on the occasion of the previous incident, if (which he denies) it happened at all, there had been a sudden failure of the lighting system through no fault on the part of the employer. That would not affect the admissibility of the evidence though it might destroy all its weight."

This report describes studies of anticonvulsants for the organophosphorus (OP) nerve agent soman: a basic research effort to understand how different pharmacological classes of compounds influence the expression of seizure produced by soman in rats, and a drug screening effort to determine whether clinically useful antiepileptics can modulate soman-induced seizures in rats. Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings were used in these studies. Basic studies were conducted in rats pretreated with HI-6 and challenged with 1.6 × LD50 soman. Antimuscarinic compounds were extremely effective in blocking (pretreatment) or terminating soman seizures when given 5 min after seizure onset. However, significantly higher doses were required when treatment was delayed for more than 10 min, and some antimuscarinic compounds lost anticonvulsant efficacy when treatment was delayed for more than 40 min. Diazepam blocked seizure onset, yet seizures could recur after an initial period of anticonvulsant effect at doses ≤2.5 mg/kg. Diazepam could terminate ongoing seizures when given 5 min after seizure onset, but doses up to 20 mg/kg were ineffective when treatment was delayed for 40 min. The GABA uptake inhibitor, tiagabine, was ineffective in blocking or terminating soman motor convulsions or seizures. The glutamate receptor antagonists, NBQX, GYKI 52466, and memantine, had weak or minimal antiseizure activity, even at doses that virtually eliminated signs of motor convulsions. The antinicotinic, mecamylamine, was ineffective in blocking or stopping seizure activity. Pretreatment with a narrow range of doses of α2-adrenergic agonist, clonidine, produced variable protection (40–60%) against seizure onset; treatment after seizure onset with clonidine was not effective. Screening studies in rats, using HI-6 pretreatment, showed that benzodiazepines (diazepam, midazolam and lorazepam) were quite effective when given 5 min after seizure onset, but lost their efficacy when given 40 min after onset. The barbiturate, pentobarbital, was modestly effective in terminating seizures when given 5 or 40 min after seizure onset, while other clinically effective antiepileptic drugs, trimethadione and valproic acid, were only slightly effective when given 5 min after onset. In contrast, phenytoin, carbamazepine, ethosuximide, magnesium sulfate, lamotrigine, primidone, felbamate, acetazolamide, and ketamine were ineffective.

I have a SanDisk Cruser drive that was formatted for a Mac and now I want to use it for a PC (and I don't have access to the Mac. What can I do?
Assuming Vista or 7 (I think this works on XP or 8+, but I'm not sure) and that the disk is not showing up under My Computer at all:
Trying the other top answer, I received a "Windows was unable to complete the format" error. So for anyone getting the same, I found another solution.
(On Windows 7) right click My Computer → Manage → Disk Management (under Storage). Identify your disk in the list, then right click on the volume and choose 'Format', then choose your preferred file system.
I had to delete previous volumes on that disk before I could do it - note that all data will be lost, so make sure you have backup or that you don't need it!
Plug it into the PC. When it shows up under "My Computer" right-click on it and choose Format.

ALBANY -- Minus a place to practice at the school, the Westover wrestling team overcame adversity this season to win its fourth consecutive area championship Friday night with 87 points, edging Perry (55), Cairo 45) and Dougherty (41).
The Patriots' practice facility at the school was turned into an in-school suspension room before the season started and have been relegated to practicing at Gillionville Baptist Church.
"Big, big thanks to their help," Westover coach Kevin Fretwell said. "I don't know what we would've done if Gillionville had come to the rescue."
Individual champs for Westover included LeMarcus Tillman (112 pounds), Reginald Sherman (125), Dylan Snapp (130), Colby Faircloth (135) and Javaz Williams (160).
Other local individual champs included two from Dougherty -- David Coe (285) and Reginald Coley (152) -- while Monroe had one, Eugene Watkins (189).

I kind of call a variable inside of a .html(); but it does not function properly.
var cap2 = "Here is a muddy truck.";
id = $(this).attr("id");
$("#caption").html("cap"+id); // this literally outputs "cap2" into my caption div
Obviously this is not the complete code but I think its enough for someone knowledgable to point me in the right direction.
I should also note when the last line looks like this
$("#caption").html(cap2); // this correctly outputs "Here is a muddy truck"
all is well but I need the numeric slot to be dynamic. Any thoughts?

This blog (not mine) has some perceptive analyses about tie-breaks but the 'tie-breaks structurally favour big servers' hypothesis does not gain support from the myriad statistical evidence the author examines. It really irks me when TV commentators pull out this line, the perpetuation of myths isn't good for understanding a game.
Not sure about this. To me it makes sense the best servers would have an advantage. They are far more likely to win service games to 0 or 15, after all. In a normal set that doesn't make any difference as holding your service games is all that counts, whether it's to 0 or to 30. But in a tie-breaker, if you're less likely to lose
on serve, that
make a difference as the breaker is a matter of points. Of course you could make the same case about the best returners, but even in today's conditions, the serve is more powerful than the return, and the best servers win more points on serve than the best returners on return.

I have one use for this product and for that it does a phenomenal job! I use it on the inner and outer corners of my eyes to give me a "wide awake" look when I need it most. The highlighter is sheer, pinkish and pearlescent and too much used around the eyes would just give me a scary, pearlescent raccoon eyed look, but just dabbing a little in the inner and outer corners really brightens my eyes when I didn't get enough sleep the night before.

It just felt like a thin eye cream but did nothing for it...in fact it made my concealer crease when I put it over it. Not pretty. Not worth the money...HUGE thumbs DOWN

Chris Wood eagles 18 to win Qatar
Updated: January 26, 2013, 11:09 AM ETAssociated Press
DOHA, Qatar -- Chris Wood eagled the 18th hole to win the Qatar Masters for his first European Tour victory Saturday, overtaking Sergio Garcia and George Coetzee, who finished a shot back.
The 142nd-ranked Englishman shot 200 yards to the green with a 6-iron and watched the ball roll to within 12 feet.
Wood calmly sank the putt to finish the final round at 3-under 69 for an overall 18-under 270. Garcia and Coetzee had looked set for at least a two-man playoff after both birdied ...

Ofsted chief defends North East schools inspectors
- ITV Report
Teachers 'have to make lessons dull' for Ofsted
Councillor: "Middlesbrough schools need very fast improvement"
Councillor Brenda Thompson said she accepted Ofsted's report, which said Middlesbrough Council needs to take urgent action to improve opportunities for school pupils.
She said that although the inspection took place at the end of January 2014, it largely reflected a bad set of results the year before, and that the council has made changes this year that should help schools to make progress.
Ofsted inspectors warn Middlesbrough Council to take urgent action over schools
More than half of secondary school pupils in Middlesbrough go to a school rated less than good, according to Ofsted. It says pupils' performance at every stage is below the national average, and children fall further behind the older they get.
Inspectors are warning the authority to take urgent action to improve opportunities for pupils.
Lucy Taylor reports.
MP says need for improvement in Middlesbrough's schools
Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald says there is a need for improvement in the town's secondary schools.
Middlesbrough Council reacts to Ofsted criticism
Middlesbrough Council has released a statement following criticism from Ofsted. An Ofsted inspection was carried out from January 27 to January 31, 2014, during which support was found to be ineffective.
Ofsted on Middlesbrough: 'Urgent action must be taken'
Nick Hudson, Ofsted's Regional Director for the North East, Yorkshire and Humber, has spoken of his concern for education in Middlesbrough.
Ofsted concern for Middlesbrough schools
A third of pupils overall, and over half of secondary-aged children, attend a school in Middlesbrough that is less than good, says Ofsted.
Ofsted carried out an inspection of Middlesbrough council's arrangements for school improvement between 27 and 31 January this year. This was in response to concerns about the achievement of pupils in primary and secondary schools and the quality of education for young people in training aged 16-18.
In Middlesbrough, attainment at each key stage remains well below national averages and progress slows as pupils get older. The proportion of school leavers not in education, employment or training is almost twice the national average.
Ofsted boss: Steady decline in schools performance since 2012
The man who is holding the local authority in Northumberland to account is Nick Hudson, the regional director for Ofsted.
Full report: Ofsted gives poor marks to some schools
The schools inspector, Ofsted, says children in Northumberland have less chance of going to a good school than in previous years.
It says the situation is unacceptable, and will be of great concern to parents, carers and pupils.
Focussed inspections of 17 schools in the county have resulted in four being put into special measures, including one which had previously been rated as 'Good'.
Ofsted says the downward slide is against the national trend, and must be halted.
Derek Proud reports.

Pulled Pork - Saturday
My wife was away, so she left me and my son to fend for ourselves...so on Saturday morning I put some pork in with 1 dry rub and 1 wet rub, results were fantastic!
Saturday lunch.
Then while it was cooling, we baked some multi grain bread.
Re: Pulled Pork - Saturday
Bread looks fantastic! I know your post was form January but have you baked anymore bread? The wet-rubbed pork looks great too. Makes a great meal.
I think we all underestimate how easy it is to roast a chunk of pork in our ovens at medium to low temps and that we should do it more often.
Re: Pulled Pork - Saturday
We have been trying other food, we will be back on bread next week, when the master chef is home - my son!
Yes, we like trying different foods in the WFO.

History of the Dewitt Wallace Periodical Room
Who was Dewitt Wallace?
The DeWitt Wallace Periodical Room is named for the founder of Reader's Digest Magazine. In the 1920's DeWitt Wallace spent countless hours in the Periodical Room, reading and condensing articles from the Library's collection. In 1983, the room's restoration was made possible by a generous gift from the Wallace Fund, established by DeWitt Wallace.
The importance of periodicals in the history and daily cultural and social life of New York is acknowledged in the wall murals that depict significant publishers of periodicals, newspapers and books, at the turn of the century. This generous gift to the Library also made the painting of thirteen murals possible. These paintings by the contemporary New York artist Richard Haas depict buildings associated with Periodical publishing in New York City.
Listen to a conversation about the murals with the artist Richard Haas.

Strange gadget of the day: USB tape dispenser
If it's possible to incorporate a USB plug into a device, chances are someone will do it.
We've seen USB Snowmen, USB teddy bear flash drives, and USB-powered lights by the dozen.
However, we've never seen a tape dispenser that doubles as a USB hub. The 4-port hub doesn't power the tape dispenser; it merely cuts down on the amount of desk real estate taken up by having separate USB hub and tape dispenser.
These gadgets, which come in a rainbow of colours, will be available soon from Earth Trek in Hong Kong.

Unsung hero of the Annapolis July 4 Fireworks
A lot has changed since I last saw the Stones on July 4, 1972
Osprey and falcon chicks thriving, with a little help
Beyond pomp, parade and fireworks to shared heritage
July's two full moons are prime viewing times
No need for fireworks here
When enough people choose to help, large problems can be solved
Our atmosphere tints summer moons
Oh the harm it causes!
Whenever you can
Focus on the future; forget the plot
The shells reminded me of the Star Spangled Banner. But these bombs were not bursting in air; they were hitting ships.
As construction proceeds, both sides hold their ground
New mascot replaces PFD Panda
But first we must remember
Telltale signs, and how to fight back

Alexander Hutcheon, 58, allegedly assaulted Nicola Hutcheon by poking her on the head at their home in the west end of Aberdeen. He is further claimed to have shouted and sworn at her partner, Steve Agyeiand making racist remarks in a city bar.
Mr Hutcheon, the owner of one of Aberdeen's leading property and mortgaging businesses, went on trial at the city sheriff court yesterday.
Giving evidence, Mr Agyei, 49, said he was having a drink with his partner when Mr Hutcheon and his 14-year-old son approached them on January 29.
The instructor he spoke softly in his ear and called him a "monkey, darky and stalker". The trainer said the lawyer was acting in a threatening manner.
Hutcheon denies all charges.
The trial continues later this year.

As the SEC Network works to finish off deals with all of the major cable- and satellite-providers in America, there's a question that no one's asking. Will the new channel be a great thing for SEC schools' exposure right off the bat?
Hey, there's no denying that the league and its schools will rake in millions upon millions of dollars from the network. By placing three football games on the channel most weekends, there will also be plenty of reasons for viewers to seek out the new channel. Constant promotion from network co-founder ESPN will help as well.
But outside the SEC footprint will the network provide the same exposure that CBS, ESPN or ESPN2 would? No.
Take yourself out of the equation. If you're reading this site, you're obviously an SEC fan. You probably live within the league's 11-state region, too. That means that on Comcast, for example, the SEC Network will be on your expanded basic tier. It will be easy to find, mixed in with many of America's most-watched channels. Outside the SEC footprint -- where Comcast subscribers will pay just 25 cents per month for the channel, compared with $1.40 a month inside the footprint -- the SEC Network will be placed on digital basic.
In the short term, it's quite possible that folks outside the SEC footprint won't immediately know just where the heck to find the channel on their system. And many viewers simply are already in the habit of flipping their way through ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU on Saturday nights. Even FOX has had a hard time challenging the ESPN family's nighttime ratings with its relatively new nationally-broadcast primtime games. What chance then will the SEC Network have of drawing in outsiders who aren't used to going to that channel?
How many of you know where the Big Ten Network is on your system? Would you be more likely to watch a Big Ten game airing on the BTN or one airing on ABC?
Again, SEC fans will know by heart exactly where their new favorite channel is located. Since most SEC schools recruit at home, most of their high school targets will likely know where to find SEC games, too. Plus and plus.
But if you think an Auburn/LSU game on the SEC Network will pull the same kind of national overnight ratings that it would airing on ESPN, you're loopy. It will take time for viewers outside the SEC footprint to get used to searching out the SEC Network. And unless the net is butted up against ESPN, ESPN2 and other major sports channels on providers' basic tiers, it's unlikely games on the league-specific network will ever draw the total number of eyeballs as games airing on one of the major national networks.
We're not saying the SEC Network is a mistake. It will bring in millions of dollars for all involved. It will give the SEC a 24-hour commercial for itself, 365 days a year. But national exposure in the short-term -- even with ESPN touting the channel -- should be expected to take a slight hit.
There's a reason Comcast is charging subscribers in the Southeast $1.40 and folks outside the South just 25 cents. Folks outside the league footprint aren't lusting for the channel. Which means some star prospects in Chicago or Los Angeles or Ohio probably won't be as likely to watch an SEC game aired on the SEC Network as they would an SEC game aired on the ESPN family of networks. The SEC will still have games that air on the ESPNs, too, of course. But any schools whose games are moved to the SEC Network -- at least in the early going -- won't get the kind of national exposure they would if their games aired on ESPN or ESPN2.
Regardless of how many households the SEC reaches at launch, it won't be on equal footing ratings-wise with the channels that have spent the last 20-30 years broadcasting primetime football games.

Rebeca Osuna, an alumna of USD's MBA program is currently working in Uganda to assist with the branding of a new restaurant called Olubugo. All of the proceeds of Olubugo go to the care of orphans living with HIV/AIDS through an organization known as Aidchild. Rebeca discovered this opportunity through her connections to Nathaniel Dunigan, the Founder and Director of Aidchild, and one of the PhD Leadership Studies students in the School of Leadership and Education Sciences. "Helping to brand a new restaurant in Uganda has been an amazing opportunity to clarify my career goals and future plans. During this time the most valuable learning experience I have been given is to analyze the impact of marketing through the lens of sustainability, community, and responsibility. I wasn't aware of the complexity and great challenges that represent designing market penetration strategies on informal markets. Growing a business in Africa takes much longer than in other sectors because of the need to align a more complex set of allies and a more complex economic base. After this experience I am envisioning a professional future where I can better apply my talents and skills to respond effectively to the needs of society. My desire upon completion of this summer project is to take advantage of my experience and focus my career on consulting businesses that can directly benefit communities in developing and emerging economies." �Rebeca Osuna Please visit the following for more information about: Olubugo (The Restaurant): � UT San Diego http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/aug/16/che f-malarkey-affiliated-restaurant-opens-africa/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Olubugo?ref=ts � Aidchild (The Organization): � Website http://aidchild.org/index.asp To hear more about Rebeca's story: � Email email@example.com Above picture: Rebeca (on left) with Olubugo staff members at the restaurant.

St. Mary's, staff win at trial
Jury finds no malpractice in injuries suffered by woman after childbirth
An eight-day personal injury trial in Vanderburgh Circuit Court concluded Thursday evening when the jury, after deliberating two hours, sided with the defendants — two former Evansville doctors and St. Mary's Medical Center.
Cassandra Johnson, 34, and her husband, Jarrett Buse, filed the suit that included obstetrician-gynecologist Erik J. Wait as a defendant in 2006, seeking monetary damages.
An updated complaint outlining the plaintiff's case alleged Johnson suffered dislocation of both shoulders and a fracture of her left shoulder that went untreated as a result of negligence on the part of Wait, neurologist James R. Miller and several St. Mary's nurses.
Failure to diagnose and treat Johnson's condition in a timely manner resulted in permanent injury and impairment, emotional distress, physical pain and suffering and ongoing medical expenses, according to the unsuccessful complaint. It added that Buse lost the privileges of the marital relationship and wages while incurring medical and other expenses on behalf of his wife.
The physicians and hospital denied the allegations.
Evansville attorney Rocco Marrese, representing the plaintiffs, said during closing arguments that doctors, regardless of specialties, have a responsibility to treat the entire patient.
Terre Haute, Ind., attorney William Drummy, representing Miller in the trial, countered that neurologists do not diagnose shoulder dislocations.
Wait's attorney, Clay Edwards of Louisville, Ky., said obstetrician-gynecologists do not diagnose them, either.
Johnson and Buse, who reside in Tell City, Ind., first filed a complaint with the Indiana Department of Insurance against nine defendants in 2001 and requested findings from a medical review panel.
Medical review panels are composed of one attorney, who does not vote, and three health care providers: one selected by the plaintiffs and one by the defendants. A third is selected by the first two panelists.
The panel rendered its opinion in 2006, with a finding of malpractice against Wait and no malpractice against the eight other defendants, including Miller and St. Mary's.
However, that opinion is not a final determination. If a plaintiff files suit, the jury decides how much weight to give the panel's findings.
According to Marrese, two key points were central to the plaintiffs' case. Johnson was given an overdose of intravenous Demerol, a narcotic pain reliever, ordered by Wait after he delivered the couple's daughter on May 1, 2000, in a scheduled Caesarean section at St. Mary's Medical Center's Welborn Campus.
As a result of receiving at least twice as much Demerol as a person Johnson's size should, she suffered respiratory distress, pressed the call button, blacked out or had a seizure, and fell. Marrese said the injuries to her shoulders occurred when nurses responding to the call grasped under her arms to pick her up. None of those events were recorded in her chart, he said.
Failure alleged on follow-up
The second issue was a failure in follow-up care, Marrese said. Wait did not order an X-ray. When an orthopedic specialist did not respond to his request for a consultation, Wait did not seek another. Instead, since Johnson was complaining of numbness, Miller came in to consult.
Marrese said Miller did not examine Johnson, take her history or order an X-ray. She was discharged May 7 and went to St. Mary's emergency department twice before going to her family doctor at Welborn Clinic, had an X-ray and received treatment.
Evansville attorney Pat Shoulders, representing St. Mary's, noted the medical review panel did not find against the hospital, which is liable for employee negligence on the job. In closing arguments, Shoulders reiterated panelist Dr. James Dupler's comment: "These were prudent and caring nurses rendering good care."
If a patient contributes to a problem you can't come into court and sue, Drummy said, alleging Johnson was not cooperative.
Reading from Miller's notes, Drummy said the neurologist was called to see a patient complaining of pain encompassing her entire body and being unable to move. She screamed at the top of her lungs: "Don't touch me."
According to Edwards, Wait did what he was supposed to do.
"He delivered a healthy baby girl," Edwards said.
Then, two days later, Johnson complained of pain in her shoulders but Edwards said she could not tell Wait what happened. Nothing in her chart indicated what happened and he observed no gross abnormality.
Wait began to wonder if the problem could be psychiatric or neuropathic. The orthopedic specialist told Wait to call a neurologist since Johnson was complaining of numbness in her neck and hands, Edwards said.
Miller diagnosed a conversion disorder, a condition in which psychological stress manifests in physical ways the affected person cannot control, such as paralysis, seizures or an inability to see, speak or hear.
Welborn's records documented Johnson had received diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression in 1998.
Disorder notedby psychiatrist
A psychiatrist called in for a consultation determined Johnson had a personality disorder and likely post-traumatic stress disorder, Edwards said. The psychiatrist expected the symptoms to resolve in a matter of days.
Johnson was doing strange things, Edwards added, such as talking to her hands to make them move.
"When your patient is talking to her hands, what would you think?" Edwards said. "Wait never had a patient like this."
Edwards asserted Johnson was telling doctors "this" had happened before.
Wait did not cause her shoulder dislocations or current complaints, Edwards said. If shoulder dislocations had been diagnosed May 2 instead of on May 18, the treatment still would have been the same.
"What happened before May 18?" he said. "I would love to know."
A psychiatric workup should never be done without a physical workup, Marrese said after the defense attorneys gave their closing arguments.
Johnson couldn't explain how the injuries happened, Marrese said, because she had been given an overdose of Demerol.
In order to be discharged with her new daughter, Johnson went to one outpatient session at Mulberry Center, he said. She never was diagnosed with a personality disorder and has not required psychiatric care since.
"They've been pushed around. They had their complete trust in the doctors," Marrese said. "They kept hoping someone would come and help them."
According to the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, Wait's medical licenses in Indiana and Wisconsin expired in 2001. In Wisconsin, his license is characterized as "nonrenewable."
Miller holds an active license in Illinois, according to the agency. His Indiana license expired in 2007.

Seniors and low rates: EconoMeter considers the pros and cons of Fed policy
Good and bad results from keeping rates near zero as economy struggles to recover
Norm Miller, University of San Diego
Answer: YES
It is true that retired households are getting lower returns with the Fed's low interest rate policies, but many are benefitting from the reduced impact on the current deficit which makes it easier to sustain Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, thus my answer of "Yes." Smart seniors have moved to preferred stocks with high dividend yields well before now and don't own too many fixed-income bond investments. At the same time, low interest rates on mortgages help those with significant debt more than those seniors who have, for the most part, paid off their mortgages.
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
Answer: NO
Fed Chairman Bernanke has expressed concern over this issue but has argued that a stronger economy will generate higher returns for holders of the country's assets. While true, it is not clear that ground-level interest rates are achieving their objective. Housing remains weak due to loan qualification hurdles, negative equities, and the foreclosure pipeline. Companies strong enough to invest generally have plenty of cash. The toll on seniors and other savers of interest earnings, falling well below inflation and taxes, is significant. It is also driving many people towards riskier investment products or long-term bonds that are less liquid and vulnerable to future losses.
Dan Seiver, San Diego State University
Answer: YES
If seniors hold all of their financial wealth in Treasuries, they are earnings between 0 and 3% . Same with bank accounts and CDs. Yet these same individuals may have been holding long-term bonds for years, and have earned lots of capital gains. And if they owe on a mortgage, they may have already refinanced or had their adjustable reset to a lower rate, saving money. The economy needs extremely low interest rates to provide more support for the fragile recovery from the worldwide economic and financial collapse. Higher rates now would doom us all to another recession, rising unemployment, and general economic misery.

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 10/30/12
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed guard Carl Nicks, an All-Pro last season, on injured reserve. They also put tight end Danny Noble on IR on Tuesday and elevated guard Roger Allen to the active roster from the practice squad. Nicks, an All-Pro with the Saints in 2011 before signing with the Bucs as a free agent, will require surgery on his left foot to repair a toe problem. He has started all seven games with the Buccaneers and played in all 71 of his team's games since entering the league in 2008, including 68 consecutive starts. Noble, a rookie from Toledo, has a hamstring injury. He has played in four games and been inactive for three others this season. Allen is in his third season from Missouri Western.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wonderful, dark-toned police procedural with a memorably tortured narrator at its center. Detective Rob Ryan has been assigned the case of a murdered little girl. He hates cases involving children, and for more than the obvious reasons. He was once a 12-year-old victim himself, having disappeared into the woods outside his home with two friends who were never found. He has no memory of what took place back then. But all that's about to change. The little girl was found near that same wood, and the cases, though 20 years separate them, may be connected. No one but his partner knows his relationship to the current investigation, but that could change, too. Because Ryan's falling apart. (As a woman ending their brief dating explains, she knows the difference between "intriguing and fucked up.") Intricate character study, evocative prose and disturbing dual mysteries.
This is the first of French's amazing Dublin Murder Squad series, but I'm reading them all out of order and it doesn't matter. They all feature flawed, troubled protagonists, a beautifully rendered, gritty Irish setting, and suspenseful story lines. This, her first novel in the series, is about Adam Robert Ryan, a detective investigating the murder of a 12-year-old dance student near the very spot where he and his two friends were abducted in the 1980s. He hides this possible conflict of interest from his bosses, but shares it with partner Cassie Maddox, who is appropriately skeptical of his insistence that his past has no impact on his investigation. The relationship between Ryan and Maddox was for me a huge part of the book's appeal, and I suppose a benefit of reading the series out of order is knowing that Maddox is going to show up in other books.
The other appeal of the series is how French incorporates contemporary Irish issues into her plot lines. In this book the conflict between developers and scholars over the bulldozing of an important archaeological site plays a major role in the mystery, and it was just plain interesting in its own right.
What just happened? Ok, I'm one of those people who doesn't like loose ends. Unresolved things. The "Hey, guess what? Oh, never mind. I'm not going to tell you." It makes me mad. But the book was really good and I would recommend it in spite of its unresolved things. And I would have given it five stars if it would have answered just one question in particular. Content rating: It does contain language.
An extremely disruptive book--my laundry, grocery shopping, and other chores went undone because I had trouble putting it down...The story is basically a whodunit, well written and neatly plotted, but it flirts with other possibilities (horror? thriller? suspense?) that add to the mystery. The first-person narrator suffered traumatic amnesia as a twelve-year-old child. He was discovered, blood spattered, in a state of shock, after he and two friends failed to come home late one summer afternoon. The fate of the two friends remains undefined, but Ryan, the survivor, now in his thirties, grows up to be a police detective assigned to investigate the murder of a young girl killed in the same locale...a great read.
Tana French has been recommended to me by just about everyone I know, and I decided to start at the beginning. This book did not disappoint. The tension and suspense were impeccable, but intelligent; at one point I was so terrified, and my SO was out of town, and I had to wait for him to be in the house before I could continue! But the human element was also so, so important - French's ability to mix both sides together artfully is fabulous. I can't wait to read her other books.
Although she overburdens the traditional police-procedural form with the weight of romance, psychological suspense, social history and mythic legend, she sets a vivid scene for her complex characters, who seem entirely capable of doing the unexpected. Drawn by the grim nature of her plot and the lyrical ferocity of her writing, even smart people who should know better will be able to lose themselves in these dark woods.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0143113496, Paperback)
As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.
Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox—his partner and closest friend—find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.
Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones. And look for French's new mystery, Broken Harbor, for more of the Dublin Murder Squad.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:07:21 -0400)
Detective Rob Ryan and his partner, Cassie Maddox, investigate the murder of a 12-year-old girl near a Dublin suburb. The case resonates with similarities to a murder committed twenty years before that involved two children and the young Ryan.

Another week and another controversy over Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The Colts and Andrew Luck defeated the Lions and Suh in an epic comeback. It was another action from Suh that will get most of the discussion for the game.On a Don Carey interception with 6:40 to play, Ndamukong Suh laid out Colts right tackle Winston Justice, who left the game with a concussion. Worse, Suh and his teammates stood over Justice and laughed and danced.After the game, the Colts tough-minded right guard, Mike McGlynn, was still spitting mad. In fact, he didn't run into the end zone to celebrate. He was too busy jawing with Suh and some other Lions."Totally ignorant on their part," McGlynn said. "Just childish stuff. We're all battling out there; I don't know if the hit was legal or not, but clearly he was hurt, and they're out there dancing and pointing at him and laughing. Just blatant disrespect.

Many public schools in Maryland engage private cloud-computing services to provide software and digital educational platforms to help students learn. Schools have entrusted these companies with vast amounts of sensitive student data contained in emails, digital documents and school records, which is stored in computer networks outside of our schools. While cloud providers can offer tremendous advantages, their use may have a darker side.
Some third-party cloud providers "mine" the student data they collect from schools and monetize it for commercial profit. These companies surreptitiously scrutinize data collected from our children to learn how to better target impressionable students with commercial advertising. This information may include a student's age, disabilities, grades, health, location, personal opinions, race, religion and so on.
