Sometimes the only way to find yourself is to leave behind everything you've ever known…
When Doran Seeger suddenly faces loss of family, friends, job, and confidence he decides to take a little break from the life he has known working in the Defense Industry designing guidance systems for 'Smart' bombs with an extended trip to Europe. Traveling light with just two changes of clothing and a pocketful of traveler's checks, he is free to wander wherever his instincts lead him. From an encounter with anarchists in Amsterdam to a love affair in the Swiss Alps to the land the gods chose as their home, the itinerant is gradually drawn out of reticence by an unlikely love affair and by a culture that still embraces real civility: Greece.
But the story does not end here... It picks up 10 years onward in A Winter Garden.
The Island of Corfu in Greece is known as the Emerald Isle. William Shakespeare's metaphorical play, "The Tempest", was derived from the island's thunderous autumnal storms. Henry Miller, as well as Gerald and Lawrence Durrell, once called Corfu home. It is an island of intense beauty with fertile green land, golden beaches, turquoise waters, a beautiful Venetian-built city, and one of the most gregarious - and sometimes one of the most treacherous - cultures in Europe. More than a million people from all over the world visit Corfu each year, and over 30,000 expatriates live year round on the island.
Good Morning Corfu: Living Abroad Against All Odds
chronicles the experiences and observations of an American expatriate living on this Mediterranean outpost of dizzying extremes. From wide-eyed wonder to cultural and personal confusion, from unbridled joy to deep despair, and from empathy to outright loathing, these short essays examine both local and expatriate lifestyles through the lens of one deeply immersed yet forever removed, fundamentally involved yet perpetually on the perimeter of a most curious culture. Even more than a journal of events and experiences, the essays consider many of life's more profound issues and concerns with insight, optimism and humor.
Sequel to Xenos
Motivated to expatriate by guilt after helping to design guidance systems for the U.S. Military, Doran Seeger has lived the past decade in Europe. Wandering from country to country, he has encountered new societies and new ideas, though he still struggles to appease his conscience. Living in Prague and working as an underground art dealer, a chance encounter with the sister of his former lover persuades him to return to Greece, where a society that embraces real civility tenderly draws the habitual itinerant out of reticence and cynicism. With his longtime Greek friend Modestos Thromos by this side, Doran plants a winter garden; and as he patiently tills the Grecian soil, he reclaims his integrity, his sense of joy, and his humanity.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Major League Baseball is dragging its feet on having team owners vote on the Oakland Athletics' proposed move to a new ballpark 40 miles south in San Jose, San Jose city officials said in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The lawsuit _ filed in federal court in San Jose _ is disputing MLB's exemption from federal antitrust law, which MLB has used as a "guise" to control the location of teams, according to the suit.
"It's time for someone to take on this supposed baseball exemption from antitrust laws," said attorney Phil Gregory of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, the law firm representing the city. "The City of San Jose is a perfect candidate to make that challenge."
The San Francisco Giants have objected to the A's potential move on grounds they relied on territorial rights to the San Jose-area market when they built their ballpark, AT&T Park.
The A's say those rights were only meant to support the Giants' failed efforts in the early 1990s to build a San Jose-area ballpark themselves.
The lawsuit contends that such territorial rights, regardless of the team, reduce competition and harm consumers.
Giants spokeswoman Staci Slaughter declined to comment.
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig appointed a committee more than four years ago to study the A's potential move.
He rejected a proposal earlier this year from San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed to sit down and talk about the A's plans and said Reed's reference to additional litigation at the time was "neither productive nor consistent with process that the Athletics have initiated under our rules."
Rob Manfred, an MLB executive vice president, said in a statement Tuesday that "Major League Baseball has acted in the best interests of our fans, our communities and the league" when considering the issues related to the Athletics.
"The lawsuit is an unfounded attack on the fundamental structures of a professional sports league," Manfred said. "It is regrettable that the city has resorted to litigation that has no basis in law or in fact."
Wolff, the A's owner, released a brief statement. Gregory said he is not involved in the lawsuit.
"I have no details," Wolff said. "However, I am not in favor of legal action or legal threats to solve business issues."
Wolff has said he is focused on a new stadium in San Jose rather than a move outside the Bay area. Wolff is allowed to consider other sites within the A's territory _ such as downtown Oakland _ but approval from MLB would be needed for a move outside the territory.
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said during a quick briefing Tuesday that she's confident that the A's will remain in Oakland.

Ramma Lamma Enjoy the Sleazy Fringes of Rock ŌĆÖNŌĆÖ Roll
ŌĆ£Ramma Lamma is good because we would just be hanging out anyway, even if we werenŌĆÖt in a band,ŌĆØ explains singer-guitarist Ryan King over beers at Bay View Bowl. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just friends; itŌĆÖs just rock ŌĆÖnŌĆÖ roll; whatŌĆÖs the point of trying to paint it up to be some fancy, glossy thing? ItŌĆÖs supposed to be dumb and fun, you know?ŌĆØ Members have come and gone during the bandŌĆÖs long five-single lead up to Ice Cream, but that attitude has remained steadfast.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre kind of casual,ŌĆØ says Wendy Norton, also on guitar and vocals. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not like other bands IŌĆÖve been in where itŌĆÖs like youŌĆÖre running a small business.ŌĆØ
The album certainly sounds like a group cutting loose, but the sessions turned stressful when they sought help from an outside engineer who turned out to have too heavy a touch. ŌĆ£We recorded it once and had to scrap the whole thing, so the album is actually the demos from before we ever went in the studio, just remixed,ŌĆØ says bassist Daniel James, who together with drummer Bart Ferrara rounds out the rhythm section. ŌĆ£Then we had Matthew [Melton] from Warm Soda master it and that definitely helped bring out some sonic qualities.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Going into a fancy studio was kind of diverting from our ethic,ŌĆØ adds King, ŌĆ£thatŌĆÖs not us.ŌĆØ
They may have ended up spending even more time and money only to discover they had it right the first time around, an experience the band says has renewed their commitment to recording themselves, but, in any case, the finished product sounds fantastic, adding only a few appropriate embellishments to songs that are decidedly simple but also effective, even on repeat listens. ItŌĆÖs a difficult balancing act to pull off, but in that department Ramma Lamma looks to the masters for inspiration. ŌĆ£The guy that says The Ramones are idiots could never write a Ramones song,ŌĆØ says King, ŌĆ£and itŌĆÖs not because heŌĆÖs too good at guitar to write it.ŌĆØ
The subject matter, mostly mythical parties and being on the make, is simple too, the salacious title track that kicks off the album being a good example. ŌĆ£We played Chill on the Hill and there were all these little kids jumping up and down, because weŌĆÖre singing about ice cream,ŌĆØ says James, laughing. ŌĆ£I just felt evil.ŌĆØ The song clicks perfectly with the cover art, which King serendipitously stumbled upon. ŌĆ£The cover is completely lifted from a pornographic Atari game from the ŌĆÖ80s, Beat ŌĆÖEm & Eat ŌĆÖEm,ŌĆØ he says, somewhat sheepishly. ŌĆ£Someone had told me about the cartridge art, with this strange-looking woman licking an ice cream cone.ŌĆØ
With their full-length debut finally hitting the shelves courtesy of the Tampa-based but Wisconsin-centric Certified PR Records, the band seems eager to further explore the format, but donŌĆÖt expect any overwrought rock operas. ŌĆ£With the type of songs we write and the fact that weŌĆÖre going to keep recording ourselves, I think itŌĆÖs pretty fair to say that you can expect an AC/DC discography sort of thing out of us, where if you like the first album, youŌĆÖll like the second album and youŌĆÖll like the tenth album, because I donŌĆÖt think a heck of a lot is going to change.ŌĆØ To which Norton nonchalantly responds, ŌĆ£Well, yeah, weŌĆÖre awesome.ŌĆØ
Ramma Lamma play an LP release show on Friday, July 11, at 9:30 p.m. at LinnemanŌĆÖs Riverwest Inn with Cozy, Slow Walker and DJ Andy Junk.

White House 'secede' Petitions Reach 675,000 Signatures, 50-state Participation

November 14, 2012
Less than a week after a New Orleans suburbanite petitioned the White House to allow Louisiana to secede from the United States, petitions from seven states have collected enough signatures to trigger a promised review from the Obama administration.
By 6:00 a.m. EST Wednesday, more than 675,000 digital signatures appeared on 69 separate secession petitions covering all 50 states, according to a Daily Caller analysis of requests lodged with the White House's "We the People" online petition system.
A petition from Vermont, where talk of secession is a regular feature of political life, was the final entry.
Petitions from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas residents have accrued at least 25,000 signatures, the number the Obama administration says it will reward with a staff review of online proposals.

Sofia Vergara: "I Love Tight Dresses"
Whether she's on the red carpet or running errands in Los Angeles, Sofia Vergara isn't shy about flaunting her amazing bombshell curves.
PHOTOS: Stars in lingerie-inspired ensembles
"I like to dress up," the Modern Family actress tells USA Today's Weekend. "I won't leave the house without at least mascara or lipstick. I think that's a Latin thing. My mother would wake up in the morning to take us to school, and she was already putting on mascara."
PHOTOS: Sofia and other stars who beat cancer
But one thing is for sure: the Colombian beauty, 39, follows key style rules that allow her to show off her assets tastefully.
"In my 20s, I would have on a miniskirt and the boobs," the mom-of-one said. "Now, if I'm doing something short, I try to cover up [on top]. I'm almost 40, so I had to evolve — it's natural. I love tight dresses, but I don't do tight and short. I do tight and long."

The Middle: The Floating Anniversary
The moral of this episode, I guess, is that a mother is never allowed even fifteen minutes of time alone. Granted, it appears that Frankie's fifteen minutes happened to coincide with the worst chain of events possible, but the moral remains the same. A mother's job is never done, and she's never off the clock. At least she has the love of her husband to help her when the time comes, and he came through in a big way for her.
I've seen mixed reports of Chris Kattan either being a recurring guest star or a series regular, but I kind of like him as a regular. I wouldn't even mind him getting a little more involved in the Heck family life. It was made pretty clear that he's in dire need of some sort of family structure. Or at least that he's longing for it.
And the Hecks can use all the help they can get. The sad truth in Frankie's realization that as your children start to gain independence, your elders start to lose it was actually poignant in the midst of all the crazy comedy. But then the old dog got emphysema, being pulled around in a wagon so it could poop in its diaper outside and ... you just sit there watching it and wondering how things got so crazy so quickly.
And all of this on the 16th/17th anniversary of Frankie and Mike. They were so busy trying to figure out how to squeeze in some alone time together while juggling everything that both of them dropped the ball on giving Sue reasonable advice on how to impress a boy. I loved the t-shirt Frankie "agreed" was a good idea. But that was trumped by Mike's "grand gesture" idea.
This is where Sue just blew me away. She truly believed that singing a heartfelt song to a boy she was crushing on over the school's intercom system would work. How could that backfire? She was baffled that everyone was laughing, but that's how Sue operates. It's the same mentality that saw her terrible swimming last week, and will see her continue to fumble through the rest of this season.
And I'm looking forward to every misstep. Every member of this family is battling their own craziness, and I love them already for it. I was so glad when Brick whispered "radio" in the car while on that random test drive. Keeping these personality quirks consistent, even if they're not explained in each episode, keeps the Hecks real. Or surreal as the case may be, but they're consistent and they're ours.

Phoenix Mercury
Griner scores 20, Mercury beat Mystics
WASHINGTON — Brittney Griner scored a season-high 20 points to help the Phoenix Mercury to an 81-66 victory over the Washington Mystics on Tuesday night.
Diana Taurasi added 13 points and 10 assists for Phoenix (6-2), which has won two straight and is 2-1 so far on a five-game road trip. Candice Dupree scored 18 points and DeWanna Bonner added 14 for the Mercury.
Emma Meesseman scored a career-high 14 points for Washington (4-5), which has lost three straight and its last two at home. No other player scored in double figures for the Mystics, who are now just 2-4 at Verizon Center but 2-1 on the road.
Dupree and Griner each hit two baskets as the Mercury opened the second half on a 10-0 run to take a 47-37 lead.
Washington coach Mike Thibault responded by calling timeout and temporarily substituting all five players on the floor with 5:45 left in the third. The Mystics then answered with their own 9-2 run to close within 58-53, keyed by a 3-pointer and a 20-foot jumper by Monique Currie.
But the Mercury quickly pushed their lead to 12 again, with Dupree's leaner making it 66-54, and then led by at least eight the rest of the way.

Under the guise of battling "violent extremists" and the Islamic State in particular the United Nations and the Obama administration unveiled a plan this week to wage a global war on "ideologies."
Newsman Diaz-Balart: Cuba Has Increased Repression Since Obama Opened Up RelationsWritten by Warren Mass
Speaking on MSNBC's MTP Daily on September 29, Jose Diaz-Balart, the news anchor of MSNBC' The Rundown (as well as the Spanish language Telemundo network's news program, Noticiero Telemundo), said that since the Obama administration opened up diplomatic relations with Cuba political repression in the island communist nation has only increased.
A far-reaching United Nations plot to re-engineer civilization and impose global socialism on humanity, variously dubbed "Agenda 2030" and the "Sustainable Development Agenda," was ushered in on Friday with a "thunderous standing ovation," the UN Department of Public Information reported. Every one of the 193 UN member governments on the planet — from communist and Islamist dictatorships to those ruling what remains of the "Free World" — vowed to help impose the UN's controversial goals on their subjects. Indeed, according to the UN and the global agreement itself, not a single human being will be allowed to escape what one prominent internationalist ominously referred to as the next "Great Leap Forward."
Pope Francis wants to end poverty by means of radical UN environmental policies, but is he in for a surprise?
During his stay in Washington, D.C., Pope Francis revealed the leftist agenda of his trip to the United States.

Argentine diocesan priest beatified
Catholic World News - September 16, 2013
Father José Gabriel Brochero (1840-1914), a diocesan priest who was blind and a leper when he died, was beatified in Córdoba, Argentina's second-largest city, on September 14.
Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, presided at the outdoor Mass, which at least 150,000 attended, according to Agence France-Presse.
Msgr. Guillermo Karcher, papal master of ceremonies, said that "the gaucho priest was indefatigable when traveling in the remote mountainous areas around Córdoba to bring the word of the Catholic Church to the people, as well as when he used to help build houses, churches, schools, post offices, dams, roads, and telegraph networks," the Italian news agency ANSA (Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata) reported.
"He was a man well ahead of his time who understood the need to put himself at the service of the people and to help them in their moments of need," Msgr. Karcher added.
Pope Francis praised Blessed José Gabriel in a letter to Archbishop Jose Maria Arancedo of Santa Fe, the president of the Argentine bishops' conference, which was made public on the date of the beatification ceremony. The Pontiff characterized the "gaucho priest" as a "shepherd who had the smell of his sheep."
"I imagine the good priest Brochero on his mule," the Pope wrote, "traveling along the barren and desolate roads of the two hundred square kilometers that made up his parish, searching for your great-grandparents, your great-great-grandparents, to ask if they needed anything and to invite them to do the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola."
At his Angelus audience the next day, the Pope said: "I wish to share in the joy of the Church in Argentina for the beatification of this exemplary pastor who, atop his mule, indefatigably travelled the arid paths of his parish, going from door to door seeking the parishioners entrusted to him to lead them to God. We ask Christ, by the intercession of the new Blessed, that there be a proliferation of priests who, like Father Brochero, dedicate their lives to evangelization, on both knees before the Cross, and bearing witness everywhere to God's love and mercy."

HV Bullets for normal hunting applications to 500 metres. There are some HV Bullets that are designed for hunting at longer ranges. HV Bullets are drive band bullets and can be fired at higher speeds than smooth or grooved bullets of the same weight, without exceeding standard pressure levels. Barrel wear is reduced and external, as well as terminal ballistics are improved. Use HV bullets when a tough bullet with guaranteed expansion is required. HV bullets expand reliably from 1500/1600fps.
FN Bullets are intended for dangerous game where deep, linear penetration is essential. Other applications would be for birds or very small animals where any expanding bullet would result in unacceptable damage to the cape. FN Bullets are also manufactured with drive bands and are safe to use in any double rifle, modern or old.
SP Bullets are target and tactical bullets. All SP bullets are made with drive bands for reduced wear and reduced heat build up. SP Bullets are perfectly concentric and uniformity from batch to batch is guaranteed. SP Bullets are application specific and attention must be given to the technical data that is available for every bullet in the SP Bullet section.
HP Bullets are standard velocity, smooth, monometal hollow point bullets for hunting to 500 metres. This is the original bullet style manufactured by GS Custom dating back to 1993. The HP bullets have been re-designed with the experience GSC has gained since 1993. New HP Bullets feature a wide window of application and rock solid terminal performance, with expansion from as low as 1600fps impact speed.
Easy to use. No sinus scrubs and no burning skin.
Clean copper and carbon fast with one product.
You can pay more but you cannot buy better.

Thank you all for your answers.
Now I have a doubt: Is ignition by spark or by fuse in comercial bulbs?
Well... I intend to use aluminium foil as this is what I have handy. (I eat a lot of chocolate.) Of course magnesium foil or zirconium wire would be better, but where to get? I also think some of the big bulbs avaible from manufacturers were filled with aluminium foil.
Yes, I will coat the glass. I think laquer for wood or metal will suffice, I will try to get a thick one.
Final achievment of the experiment should be bigger bulbs that the ones avaible comercially. But I will begin with small ones out of safety considerations.
Steve, is that wire wool the thing used to clean/scrub hardened residues from dishes?

'Tom Hanks,' he answered whilst referring to his ideal movie partner. 'If I were taller, less green and had hair, I'd want to be him. As for singers, it would be fun to duet with Adele some day.'
The response was met with some negativity from his long standing partner Miss Piggy who admitted she couldn't see the collaboration happening anytime soon.
'Sorry Adele, the frog isn't available anytime soon,' she insisted.

David Brin's first novel was also the first novel of the Uplift saga. Set a few decades after First Contact, Sundiver is an intriguing variant of the "sitting room mystery," with the independence of human civilization at stake. Earthclan super-agent Jacob Demwa, accompanying human, chim, and Galactic representatives on a trip into the Sun's photosphere, must determine who is trying to sabotage Earthclan's attempt to investigate the mysterious Sun Ghosts.

The maiden voyage of the dolphin-crewed starship Streaker was supposed to be a routine trip to "reality check" entries from the Galactic Library. What it found in an obscure corner of Galaxy Two's halo -- a fleet of gigantic derelict ships -- instead made it the target of a posse of fanatic races. As Startide Rising begins, the Streaker has found a hiding place . . . the poisonous seas of the heavy-metal world Kithrup. Besides having to elude an array of bizarre, borderline insane fanatic races, the mixed-species crew must deal with treachery in its own ranks.
Startide Rising won the Hugo for Best Novel of 1984.

With their human patrons relocated to concentration camps, the neo-chimpanzee settlers must find a way to liberate Garth on their own. Complicating matters are an illegal uplift project, neo-chimp quislings, and a pair of mismatched Galactic embassadors.

Get ready to wear your attitude on your fingernails this fall with the brand new fall collection by Essie, sold at enailsupply. Sidestepping the usual kitty, Essie gets you the 'Brand New Bag'! These six elusive yet spirited shades: Carry On- a mulberry red, Very Structured- orange tan, Power Clutch-grey green, Lady Like- pink, Case Study-beige and Glamour Purse-roasted beige look demure and classic in a single sweep.
Really, reminiscing warm memories -of learning, love and achievement, with your handbag a constant companion, accentuating your inner grace with worldly glamour of a femme fatale are what Essie Fall 2011 collection is all about
The charms of a 'brand new bag' are now for take! Essie's Fall 2011 collection delivers the textured sophisticate of vintage handbags on your fingernails. Muted shades delicately laid with rich sparkle and wonderful finish pack a punch for all-day wear and evenings this fall. Try the wine red tanginess of Carry On or go wearing the Very Structured look of a tan-orange handbag. Power Clutch is a grayish green delight and Lady Like gets the very essential demure pink for you. The almond beige Glamour Purse and beige Case Study are carry-homes for giving the glam girl look!
The only reason the coming fall could be quiet and boring for you is if you miss out on Essie's fall collection-2011. Essie has boldly taken inspiration from the handbag designs and textures so much in vogue during the 40's and 50's, really a tribute to the woman who takes pride to dress up, and live like a lady. The colors will make you want to brush up your nails with the 40's feel, and match them with your own attire.
I found 'Brand new bag'- the collection, is awesome. Perfect for fall! But honestly, at first I did think, uh oh! Dull, too heavy, even their names. But no!! Not these shades!
From the rusted orange appeal of Very Structured to the pale camel Case Study, every hue is actually a wow! I completely flipped over Power Clutch and Glamour Purse. The first one looks deep grey but not so. As I laid the coats on, a very prominent moss-green hue peeped out. It's a color you gotta see for yourself. Glamour Purse is quite an interesting shade of burnt taupe that oozes warmth with a detached feel.
I have to say here that I found the fall shades walking the line between hot and cool. Essie gets downright girly with Lady Like and manages to throw bolder and deeper surprises like the merlot Carry On. What better to color your nails with, than the defining essence of your most important accessory? Just bag 'em up, I'd say!!

Studies show that only about 40 percent of health care workers in the U.S. wash their hands as often as they should.

January 30, 2010 Studies show only about 40 percent of health care workers in the U.S. wash their hands as often as they should. So some hospitals are trying to monitor just how regularly their employees are washing up — by testing out new surveillance technologies.

January 30, 2010 Democrats trying to salvage their health care legislation have been talking a lot about "reconciliation." It's basically a way to alter laws without the threat of a Senate filibuster. But reconciliation wasn't designed as a vehicle for controversial policy change, and it's no silver bullet. Host Guy Raz gets a reconciliation primer from Sarah Binder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

January 29, 2010 In his first State of the Union address, President Obama called on lawmakers to jettison partisanship and work for the common good. But can Congress meet in the middle on issues like the economy and health care when the principles at stake are so contentious? Host Michel Martin talks to two Congressmen, from both sides of the aisle --Rep. Jim Himes, a Democrat from Connecticut,and Rep. Scott Garrett, a Republican from New Jersey.

January 26, 2010 President Obama's plan to overhaul the nation's health care system hangs in the balance. Uwe Reinhardt, professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton University, says it won't make much difference to most Americans if the legislation dies. But Gail Wilensky, a health care economist who served in the administration of President George H.W. Bush, says she believes there needs to be an overhaul of the system because the soaring costs are unsustainable.

January 26, 2010 Republicans have some ideas for how their stalled health overhaul can get started again: Find some bipartisanship. The problem is that most Republicans don't agree on many of the proposals fellow party members are shopping around Capitol Hill.

January 24, 2010 As Congress works out differences in the House and Senate health care bills, one particular proposal is drawing fire from the California delegation. The bills would allow insurers to sell some policies across state lines for the first time, and critics contend that could weaken consumer protection laws in states like California that aggressively regulate the insurance industry.

January 22, 2010 Some lawmakers are considering a scaled-back health bill in place of the comprehensive legislation now stalled in Congress. But there's debate about whether popular insurance reforms, such as requiring insurers to accept applicants with health problems, can be successful without an unpopular individual insurance mandate.
January 22, 2010 One of the biggest sticking points with the plan to overhaul health care has been how to pay for it. The Senate wants to impose a so-called "Cadillac Tax." That is, a tax on the most expensive health care plans. Economists say in the long run the tax would result in companies offering less expensive health plans. The money the company saves would then translate into higher wages.

January 22, 2010 The House is not about to pass the Senate's version of the health care overhaul bill. And so far, the idea of scaling back and reaching out to Republicans doesn't seem likely to pay off. So lawmakers are now scrambling for a new strategy after nearly a year of intense work on a massive piece of legislation.

January 21, 2010 Democrats are weighing their options for passing a health care bill in the wake of Republican Scott Brown's upset win on Tuesday in the Massachusetts Senate race. Some Republicans argue that efforts to overhaul health care are dead. NPR's Ron Elving and Julie Rovner weigh in on what lies ahead for health care.

January 21, 2010 The Democrats' health overhaul legislation is in trouble for many reasons, including key policy decisions that led many Americans to wonder whether they would wind up worse off.

There are more questions than answers following the death of a 26-year-old with Down syndrome at the hands of law enforcement who were called in when the man refused to leave a movie theater.
Authorities say that Robert Ethan Saylor went to see "Zero Dark Thirty" at a Frederick, Md. movie theater last month, but when the film ended he wanted to see it again and refused to leave. At that point, three off-duty sheriff's deputies, who were providing security at the venue, were called in.
It's unclear exactly what happened next, but ultimately Saylor was restrained by the deputies and began showing signs of a medical problem. He was pronounced dead not long after.
Now a medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide and his family is looking for answers. They say that Saylor idolized law enforcement and the family indicated that an aide was with the young man at the movies, saying that they could have been called to assist.
Currently, the deputies involved in the incident are on paid administrative leave while an investigation continues. The circumstances of the case, however, have disability advocates and families of those with Down syndrome on edge, reports The Washington Post. To read more click here.

From the articles I read, his companion was with him. Why did the companion not intervene and purchase the tickets?
If the guards (who were off-duty cops) over-reacted, throw the book at them, but I'd like to know why the companion did not try to get the man to leave or pay for the tickets.
Had UNIFORMED law enforcement been called, even a uniformed guard, this horror might have been avoided. Why did this mall have non-uniformed security staff? And were these officers educated as to the difference between mentally ILL people and mentally DISABLED people? There is a big difference that is not always apparent during a tantrum.
For the above commenter – there are several possible scenarios for the "why didnt the companion just pay or get him to leave?" For one the companion may not have had the money for another movie-, the movie may not have been shown again until much later. Plus as anyone who works with people who have Down Syndrome knows they can be VERY stubborn -once they have made a decision to stay there is no moving them no matter how much cajoling or nagging you might want to do.The one thing people seem to be missing in all this was that these men WERE NOT IN UNIFORM !! This man had probably been taught "dont go with strangers" and these were strangers who were forcing him to go where he did not want to go. I would bet that if these men had been in uniform with all their badges it would have been a different story, What would probably be better would be explaining that some officers "do their job" when off duty. But then again how many times have we read where men would try to impersonate officers by flashing fake badges and saying they were off duty???
I agree that the companion did not do an adequate job to "dial down" an escalating situation, however, the reality is most individuals who do this job are not sufficiently trained. There were many options that the companion could have used, such as: (a) simple explanation to both theater worker, and security about the nature of the man's disability; (b)a call to family; preparing the man for leaving well in advance; (c)paying, or leaving an iou to pay if no extra money was on hand; and (d) a request for uniformed assistance. Certainly law enforcement should also be trained, but it is a sad truth that most care givers are expected to "learn on the job."
Utterly senseless, completely avoidable tragedy, had these deputies engaged their brains even a little bit.
And we have people pointing the finger at his companion? What was his companion supposed to do, barge in and toss the three off-duty cops off the young man?
Yes, police often have a pressure-filled job and often have to make split second life or death decisions. But not in this situation, not at all. This was a barbaric act by these off-duty cops.
The main person at fault is the movie theater employee. How many people stay to watch a movie a second time and NEVER get hassles. The employee needs to be brought up on charges for harrassment and violating the ADA.

At San Diego Comic Con, Ubisoft announced the latest in their line of "Assassin's Creed" comics, Assassin's Creed: Brahman.
The graphic novel is set to debut later this fall and will introduce a brand new member of the Assassin Order; Arbaaz Mir. His backdrop is 19th century India, another first for the franchise, though his target once again is those pesky British colonialists.
