The judge said it was factually rape.
Five young men aged 17-19 versus one young woman aged 17.
… a gang sexual assault of a grave nature which the accused persons had perpetrated without her consent.
Despite this fairly clear-cut assessment, the charges were reduced and the five accused were found guilty of the lesser charge of "aggravated outrage of modesty."
Why did the public prosecutor* agree to reduced charges? We may never know but the favoured theory of the rumour mill was echoed in recent TNP coverage:
"…she […] was not completely blameless."
– The New Paper (14 August)
In other words, it was partly her fault.
If this reasoning sounds familiar or even sensible it is because we believe it to be true in almost every case of rape. You don't even have to know the facts of a case to know this will be suggested.
So what are the facts in this particular case?
According to various news sources the story goes like this (some details omitted for brevity):
The boys wanted female company. The group leader got the girl's number from one of the others and called her claiming to be a schoolmate. The victim accepted the invitation for supper and was surprised when she arrived at the apartment to find a group of guys she didn't know (only one of the five was known to her). After some reluctance, she agreed to enter the flat. There they played drinking games and she consumed more than five shots of vodka. Her head was spinning and her vision impaired. In this state, after some pressure, she became aroused by the boy who kept hitting on her. She agreed to sex with him alone in the bedroom. When the two later emerged, she went to sleep off her stupor on a bench in the common area. While she rested, she was carried back into the bedroom and stripped naked. Someone said "let's start." Then, over the course of the next two hours, each took their turn as they held her down. Some penetrated her vaginally, others orally. When they were done, she was left bleeding from vaginal trauma. They helped her wash up then gave her $10 for cab fare home.
So how can she be blamed in such a hideous scenario?
One lawyer explained it as follows:
"It's like driving while intoxicated. You have to take some responsibility for your actions."
It seems the victim was guilty of drunk driving a vulva.
Let's look at a very similar situation.
If a man were to get completely drunk and wander into a dark ally, is he responsible when he gets beaten up and robbed? We acknowledge that his behaviour was risky and the outcome foreseeable. But would his risky behaviour be grounds for reducing the sentences of the perpetrators? Do we say, "Well yes that was wrong of them but he did tempt them so it's not totally their fault. He's partly to blame."
In this scenario, we do not mistake foolishness with provoking attack. The attacker doesn't receive leniency just for finding easy prey.
Then why, in the case of rape, does the same failure result in blame?
As a society we generally hold the belief that women must always be on guard to protect their virtue because men cannot always control their natural urges.
To be raped is to fail at this duty of care. It is thus a matter of shame to be a victim. What other crime causes the victim to feel such shame?
And when we blame the victim, the inference is "so it's not totally his fault."
A rapist is not a victim of opportunity. His youth or mental capacity may provide reasons for leniency but we should feel no sympathy simply because he found an easy victim who failed to expect violence and failed to exercise caution.
Now before anyone gets bent out of shape because of situations where there may be a genuine misunderstanding about consent, let's remember where we started this discussion. This is a clear-cut case of gang rape. Any guy finding himself with four friends holding down and penetrating a drunk girl is under no doubt he is engaged in a violent criminal act.
So why, even in this very shocking scenario, do we still ask, "How may she have brought this on to herself?"
It seems we just can't help ourselves. It's illogical, indefensible and certainly not just or compassionate. Yet the idea of female culpability is deeply entrenched in our psyche.
Stop blaming the victim.
A woman may expose herself to risk for many reasons: youthful innocence, a trusting nature, a carefree attitude, lack of cynicism and suspicion, thrill seeking behaviour, desire for acceptance, and so on. Whatever the reason, it is not an invitation to rape.
The failure of a woman to adequately assess the risk of attack does not mean that she caused what happens and should take blame for it.
Yes, we should educate and encourage women to limit their risks, but this should not in any way imply that the victim is responsible for being violated. We need to stop blaming the victims of rape.
*The public prosecutor acts on behalf of the state, not the victim. The prosecutor is NOT the victim's lawyer. Rape carries a sentence of up to 20 years in jail. Aggravated outrage of modesty carries a sentence of up to 10 years however the public prosecutor only asked for 3-5 years in this case.

Former Stags man Buxton will be Derby's inspiration at Wembley
Posted: May 24, 2014|
FORMER Mansfield man Jake Buxton will have the final word before Derby kick-off today's Championship play-off final.
Buxton will look to deliver an inspiring message to his Rams team-mates in their pre-match huddle on the Wembley pitch before they face Queens Park Rangers.
Captain Richard Keogh will lead the team out onto the famous turf. And he revealed: "Last season, I must have spoken in the pre-match huddle before 40-odd matches and the lads were just laughing at the end of it because I was repeating the same stuff!
"Bucko has been doing it recently and we are on an unbeaten run of eight matches and so he will do it at Wembley."
Buxton admits to getting emotional, saying: "We talk about what drives you on in life – your family, your kids or maybe the haters and the doubters, the people who've doubted you over the course of your career.
"We try to visualise winning and being successful."
Danny Simpson says former bad boy Ravel Morrison has matured at QPR. Morrison was bombed out of Old Trafford after Sir Alex Ferguson lost patience with his behaviour.
Now the 21-year-old, who is on loan from West Ham, is poised to earn a place in Rangers history by helping them into the Premier League.
And defender Simpson said: "Since he's come here I've noticed a big change in him. He's growing up, maturing and starting to realise the potential he has got. He's one of the best young players I have seen with the ball at his feet.
"Everyone knows his ability but I think he has surprised a few people with his character and attitude."

Hello everyone, I recently recieved my new Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II lens. It's extremely fast focusing and heavy as all get out. I've been playing with it trying to get use to it. It's a work in progress but I'm starting to grasp it.
These are just some of the pictures I've taken in the last two days. My sisters and I are going to a pumpkin patch this week for pictures. I'm excited to practice portraits with it.
I have some pictures of Sage, the dogs and a kitty.
Thank you for looking.

- In Depth. Self-Portrait by Dürer, 1498
- Iconography. The Artist as "gentiluomo"
Iconography. The Artist as "gentiluomo"
Dürer presents himself as an elegant, calm and self-assured man, offering a new way of understanding the social status of the painter far from the craft tradition to which he had been relegated up to this point. Now the painter is an intellectual and an artist in the Italian sense of the word, given that in Italy painting was considered one of the Liberal Arts.
Durer chose elegant, aristocratic clothes. He wears a white jacket with black trimming and an undershirt with gold lace edging, a black and white striped cap with a tassel, a greyish-brown cloak and grey kid gloves. This deliberately cosmopolitan image is reflected in his letters to his friend Willibald Pirckheimer, in one of which Dürer says, "My French cape greets you, as do my Italian clothes".
The Gaze
Dürer's restrained, calmly proud gaze indicates his desire to convey his social status. He has focused the eyes in two slightly different directions in order to enliven the figure's gaze. His left eye, which is further away, looks directly out at the viewer while his nearer, right eye, looks into the distance. This slight disjunction was used by later portraitists including Hans Holbein the Younger.
The Hands
The artist locates his clasped hands in the foreground, making it obvious that they are inactive and are not holding any symbolic element allusive to the function of the portrait. Rather, they convey the idea of the good manners appropriate to a gentleman. Rather than showing himself with the bare hands that he used to create his art, Dürer covers them with kid gloves, indicative of high social status. He thus calls for a different level of respect for his image, raised from that of artisan to artist, as in Italy.

As Jews around the world gather together to remember that fateful November night 75 years ago that Nazis called "Kristallnacht," which roughly translates to "The Night of Broken Glass" or "Crystal Night," and has come to signify the start of the Holocaust, one Hassag concentration camp survivor says he will never forget the years that followed.
Sitting in his Buckeye Court home, staring out large picture windows at the sweeping city views below, Petaluma resident and Polish-Jewish immigrant Henry Libicki recalled his experiences in Nazi-occupied Poland during the 1930s and '40s.
"I remember it like it was yesterday," said 86-year-old Libicki, his once-thick accent softened by years spent living in the United States. "Germans came into Poland on Sept. 3 (1939). The next day, they started shooting people in the town square."
In the small village of Klobuck, Poland where he grew up with his baker parents and a brother and two sisters, a 12-year-old Libicki watched in horror that day as soldiers gunned down the two sons of his local rabbi — children he had known and played with for years.
"I ran home as fast as I could, crying and frightened," he said softly, his hands folded in his lap, his eyes glazed over in a blank stare. "After that, everything changed. There were new rules for us Jews. If you followed the rules, you lived. If not, you died. But the rules changed daily and it was a struggle to keep up."
For the Libicki family, fear became a state of normalcy during the next three years. In Nazi-occupied Poland curfews were issued, Jewish storefronts were shut down and freedoms were snatched away.
Libicki's father was a wholesaler of grain and flour. Unlike many Jewish businesses that were forced to close, the Germans stationed in his town allowed the Libicki family to continue running their business. All around, his young eyes watched as local temples were burned to the ground and soldiers filled the streets.
"I don't even know where to start trying to explain how difficult those years were," said Libicki, "because they don't compare to the years that followed — the two years my family and I spent in Hassag."
When Libicki turned 15, the entire Jewish population was removed from his village. "There had been people taken away before that, but this was everyone who was left," he said.
Libicki and his family rode together to the Polish labor camp known as Hassag, where they would spend the next two years fighting to survive.

On October 1, the House voted - by a count of 258 to 163 - in favor of a non-binding resolution that would prevent the Obama administration from transferring Guantanamo detainees to the U.S. for any reason. The politics behind the vote were fairly simple. The idea of bringing detainees here is widely unpopular. Every time a new locale is mentioned as a possible venue for housing detainees there is uproar. Clearly, many members of the House, including 88 Democrats, did not want to be on the record saying that they supported the transfer of detainees to the U.S. - even to stand trial. A majority American people don't want it, so there was no reason to go out on a limb.
That was October 1.
However, key Democrats on the Hill voted to include a provision that would allow such transfers in the $42.8 billion appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security. These Democrats wanted the provision passed because it would make it easier for the Obama administration to close Gitmo. The Obama administration wants to bring the detainees here for trials, but it can't do so if it can't transfer them here first. So, the Democrats included the provision in the DHS appropriations bill, knowing that it would be difficult for the provision to be defeated if it were tied to all sorts of other funding that is actually necessary to protect America.
There was one way to make sure the provision would pass, and that was to include it in a massive bill, the bulk of which had nothing to do with Gitmo.
The Republicans tried to fight back. They wanted the provision stripped from the DHS appropriations bill. But the Republican effort to strip the provision was defeated by a vote of 224 to 193. This time, only 25 Democrats (as compared to 88 Democrats on October 1) voted along with the Republicans. Soon afterward the DHS bill was approved in its entirety by a count of 307 to 114.
Those votes took place on October 15 - just two weeks after a majority of House members made it clear that they did not want to be on the record as voting for detainee transfers.
Welcome to the politics of Gitmo.
The Obama administration is pursuing a policy that is unpopular. The Democrat-heavy House wanted to provide cover for this policy, but couldn't without attaching it to other, unrelated measures. That should tell you everything you need to know about what is going on here.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric Holder insists that the Obama administration's task forces are making progress on how to handle the detainees' cases, and it will reach a decision on which detainees will stand trial "by the middle of November."
Got that? The administration still hasn't finalized a plan for dealing with the detainees. It can't even tell Congress which detainees will be brought to the U.S. to stand trial. But, Congress just voted, via a backdoor provision, to allow detainees to be shipped to the U.S. for these trials.
Which detainees has Congress just authorized the administration to bring to the U.S.? They can't tell you because the administration doesn't even know yet.

Cataract Surgery in Houston, TX
The eye surgeons of International EyeCare are dedicated to providing leading-edge treatments to address a number of refractive errors, including cataracts. When the clouding of the eye's lens begins to impair vision, it may be necessary for a patient to receive cataract surgery in order to restore clear vision. At International EyeCare, we use the latest treatment techniques and technology for all of our cataract surgery patients.
During cataract surgery our team of our talented eye surgeons will remove the natural lens that has become clouded, and replace it with an artificial lens, known as an IOL, or intraocular lens. This lens can be left in the eye permanently for sustained vision. During your consultation at our LASIK facility, our Laser vision surgeons will thoroughly evaluate the eye and determine which treatment method is best for you. We will also discuss your different options for intraocular lenses, including monofocal and accommodating IOLs.
The type of cataract surgery that you receive will depend on the progression of the cataract. Most commonly, a process known as phacoemulsification is performed in order to rid the eye of the cataract. During this process, ultrasonic vibrations are used to dissolve the proteins that have clouded the lens. Once dissolved, these pieces are suctioned out through a small probe. Then, your surgeon will carefully place the new lens in the eye.

Meet the Boss
Yan Ness and Mike Klein
Co-CEOs, Online Technologies
Location: Ann Arbor
Business: Data storage company
Growth: Secured $20-million investment from News-Press & Gazette in 2012, doubled staff to 50
Klein on decision-making: We make much better decisions as co-CEOs. We both see the world from slightly different angles, but really trust each other, have mutual respect for each other.
Ness on the benefit of being a co-CEO: You come up with better ideas and you learn things faster yourself. Its really win-win.
At Ann Arbor-based Online Technologies, Yan Ness is the boss.
And so is Mike Klein.
The entrepreneurial pair are running the rapidly growing data storage company through an unusual leadership structure. Theyre co-CEOs, a rare arrangement in business that only works if the executives are on the same page.
But if Online Techs growth is any gauge, the arrangement is proving to be successful.
The company, which has two data centers in the Ann Arbor area and one in Flint, has doubled its personnel count since the executives agreed to share the top job. It has more than 50 employees, up from about 25 less than a year and a half ago, and plans to add 10 jobs in the fall.
Online Tech also recently doubled its Pittsfield Township headquarters to 10,000 square feet and is seeking to add data storage centers outside of Michigan for the first time.
Fueling the growth is an uptick in customers from the health care, financial and retail sectors. In health care, new federal regulations involving a strict set of information security standards are prompting providers to seek Online Tech for a private cloud, Ness said.
The private cloud is a group of servers used exclusively by the client to store and process data, but housed and operated at Online Tech facilities. Online Tech makes money by charging customers for storage space.
Online Tech also has hired staff members to monitor data center operations and field calls from concerned customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our people are always live, always monitoring, Ness said.
When Online Tech landed a $20-million investment from the Missouri-based News-Press & Gazette about a year ago to expand its operations, Ness was CEO and Klein was president. But they decided to share the role of CEO to better reflect their roles.
We also at the time did a lot of soul-searching and thinking about, is this a bad idea or a good idea for the company? Ness said.
Ness and Klein said they dont make a major decision without making it together.
Its really helped us refine our business decisions, Klein said. We make much better decisions as co-CEOs. We both see the world from slightly different angles, but really trust each other, have mutual respect for each other.
That doesnt mean theyre always on the same page.
Were known across the company for having vigorous debates, Klein said. We do this in front of our management team as well. We really like opposing viewpoints. Sometimes we have to close the door and argue between the two of us. But we never make a decision we dont agree on.
Ness typically handles technology issues, while Klein handles business matters, but theyre both capable of handling all responsibilities.
Still, they acknowledge that a co-CEO arrangement doesnt work for most companies.
If something were to happen to one of us, we wouldnt go find another co-CEO, Ness said.
Theres a side benefit to the structure, too. It helps them avoid burnout. They can take vacations.
One of the hard things about this business is were never not open, Ness said. Its tiring. I cant imagine taking a vacation as a CEO of a company like this without having (another CEO). It makes it possible.

The Strength of Simplicity
Recent stints on two design juries reminded me that inspiration often derives from limitation: constraints in materials or budget have a way of freeing the imagination.
City College of San Francisco's ARCHISTRUCTERIOR competition celebrating the Architecture Department's 60th anniversary took the form of a happening in a downtown plaza. Each team of students was asked to design and build a full-scale construction representing the cultural, social, and ethnic diversity of specific San Francisco neighborhoods within four hours. Building materials: two kits of parts; one supplied by the department of architecture and containing things like boards and wire, the other containing "neighborhood elements" assembled by each team. Winners included the the following:
The team representing Chinatown created a dense mini-street under a canopy of Chinese take-out menus:
The team representing the Haight-Ashbury fashioned an evocative hilly landscape out of long-playing records melted in a microwave:
Both celebrated distinctive neighborhood qualities, features, or memories in vivid ways. In other words you can do and say a lot with just a few elements.
The strength of simplicity also became apparent in Atlanta where the Chrysalis Remodel Awards Jury reviewed more than 500 entries from across the country. Here's a photo of the entry binders burying Ken Canline, the organizer of the program:
Judges included yours truly (in the green sweater), Leslie Plummer Clagett (in white), Editor at Woman's Day Special Interest Publications; Oma Blaise Ford (in black), Senior Deputy Editor, Home Design, Better Homes & Gardens; and Louis Joyner, Photographer and former Home Editor, Southern Living:
Here the residential remodel projects that made it to the top of the heap often demonstrated an elegant simplicity: they didn't use too many different materials and they solved space problems in clear and uncluttered ways.
So how does all this relate to finding your perfect layout on Houseplans.com? By way of a little common sense advice: Stick to the basics: a well thought-out home plan should help you get the best out of where and how you want to live without adding extra complications. Simplify and savor!

My mother and I arrived in Shannon, Ireland a few hours ago and have checked into the 5-star Dromoland Castle with the rest of our tour group. We have already taken a nap (didn't get much sleep on the 6-hour flight from JFK Airport to Shannon), but we have started exploring the grounds of the castle and have scheduled spa services for 4:30 tomorrow afternoon.
I have taken some beautiful photos of the castle and will hopefully download those soon. The weather has been sunny, but a little chilly, in the 40s and 50s.
We will be attending a reception at 6 pm to meet all of the other 32 people on the tour, although we have met some already. We also ran into 2 people not associated with our tour from Asheville who are at the end of their trip and they gave us some fun advice. Some of the others on our tour are from SC, NC, OH, and TX. I look forward to seeing where else everyone is from.
Our day tomorrow starts at 7:30 am and we will be going out to the Cliffs of Mohr and then will have the afternoon free for our spa services. I hope to go out for a run around the property since it is large enough and it also has a golf course. I can probably follow the golf course and don't think I'll get lost. The terrain seems relatively flat (at least compared to Asheville) with some gently rolling hills. Beautiful nonetheless and I'm looking forward to the run.
Will post more as our trip progresses.

'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary

'Terrible figures'
"Outlawed groups through terrorist attacks like explosions, assassinations, kidnappings or forced displacements created these terrible figures, which represent a huge challenge for the rule of law and for the Iraqi people."
The report did not distinguish between civilian deaths and others, and a senior government official said the findings did not include missing persons, believed to be around 10,000 people.
Iraqi Human Rights Ministry: 85,000 from 2004-2008 Iraq Body Count: 102,071 from 2003-2009 Lancet: 601,000 from 2003-2006
"Thousands of Iraqis killed since 2003 without being identified by their relatives were buried in special cemeteries called unidentified body cemeteries," the report said.
The figures in the report are lower than that of the Iraq Body Count project run by a group of academics and peace activists.
The project estimates that 102,071 civilians have died in the violence so far since 2003.The group took its figures from media reports, which it then cross checked with numbers from hospitals, morgues and local non-governmental organisations.
But the figures from both the Iraqi government and the Iraq Body Count project are lower than the numbers from a 2006 study by The Lancet, a British-based medical journal.
The Lancet estimates 601,000 people were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2006.Foreign 'interference'
A recent spike in violence in Iraq has been blamed on Iraq's neighbouring countries, including Syria and Iran.
Baghdad has accused Syria of harbouring former Iraqi Baathists and the US has accused Iran of funding, arming and training armed groups operating in Iraq.
Hoshyar Zebari, the Iraqi foreign minister, has called on neighbouring countries to stop stoking instability in his country.
On Wednesday, Wijdan Salim, Iraq's human rights minister, said that she also believes neighbouring countries are making unrest worse in Iraq.
"They need to stop interfering and stop the terrorism from entering Iraq by their borders," Salim told Al Jazeera.
But she said she believes the security situation in Iraq will soon change for the better.
"I am very pained for anyone who lost his life. But ... we are trying to change the whole situation in Iraq, to have a democracy, to have a new government, to have the rule of law.
"We hope that 2010 will be different than now."

text: Girl power? Updated: Friday, October 25, 2013 KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Our Congress avoided economic calamity on Wednesday by passing a last-minute, Senate-led bill to restore government funding.The trouble is that it's only good for 90 days--through January 15th--and then we get round 2.The same problems, the same acrimony, and the same people.Tonight in Tom's Corner, Tom Van Howe says he has a solution, and it's been right under our noses all the while.=====================That's right. It's time to turns the reins of our government over to women. The men in suits have failed us.In recent days, weeks and months, the only people in Washington who seem to understand what's going on are women.Just two weeks ago, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine took the podium on the Senate floor and told her colleagues to "stop fighting and start legislating."The suits didn't hear her. But two of her colleagues did. And suddenly there was a group of three: Collins, Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, and Democratic Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska."As just one person," Murkowski said, "you don't get anywhere. We cannot work individually and expect to accomplish the work that is needed. We've got to be working together."Three women—two Republicans and a Democrat, standing firm in the face of obstructionists who were perfectly willing to let the world slide into economic chaos by allowing this nation go into default; perfectly willing to ignore their own constitutional obligation to pay the nation's bills. On time.After a few days, the group of three became the group of six, then eight, now ten, and growing.Compare the words of Senate Budget Chairman Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington with those of Congressman John C. Fleming of Louisiana, one of the 144 house members to vote "no" on yesterday's bill to end the government shutdown.Here what Murray said:"My hope is that in the weeks and months ahead, we can heal many of the partisan divides that keep us from addressing the big challenges we face, including returning our focus to creating jobs and improving our economy."And from Fleming? "See," he said with a grin. "We're going to start this all over again."It makes me cringe.Are there problems in our government? Yes. All over the place. Are there problems with the Affordable Care Act?Are you kidding? For starters, they had 3 1/2 years to develop a multi-billion dollar computer system to help people make choices and sign up for healthcare.And they did a terrible job of it.Did anyone of them think of getting advice from the people at, say, Facebook? But Obamacare is the law, so let's fix it!But to shut down our country instead? The shutdown that ended last night cost our government an estimated $24 billion.Imagine that. How many band-aids, runny noses, and broken arms would that have paid for?But these sneering, idealistically-driven men in suits don't care.But the women in Washington do.Freshman Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren:"In our democracy, government is just how we describe all of the things that 'we the people' have already decided to do together. We are not a country of anarchists. We are not a country of pessimists and ideologues whose motto is 'I've got mine, the rest of you are on your own.'"Take a look around. The head of the International Monetary Fund is Christine Lagard, of France."I hope," she said yesterday, "that in a few weeks time we will look back and say 'what a waste of time that was.'"I doubt the angry men in suits heard her.The most successful country in Europe is run by a woman, German Chancellor Angela Merkel.She's admired and respected all over the continent.Hourly pay in Germany has gone up 30 percent since 1985. In the United States, it's up only six percent.Iceland collapsed in the wake of Lehman Brothers. Now it's a country whose banks, funds, and government are run largely by women and is doing quite nicely.In this country there's a quiet but dramatically exciting movement afoot.And it's a movement led by women who are weary of our political system being run by frightened men who seem to have no concept anymore of what's right for their country.As Elizabeth Warren put it: "We are not that nation. We have never been that nation. And we never will be that nation."More power to her. More power to them. It's time.In this corner...I'm Tom Van Howe.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Lexington Mayor Jim Gray says the city has a $13 million surplus and he has come up with an idea of how to use it.
The Mayor wants half of the money to be used for public safety. Mayor Gray wants to replace aging police cars and add equipment for firefighters and paramedics.
Mayor Gray also wants some of the money to be used to help the homeless and to add affordable housing options.
The council will consider Mayor Gray's recommendations.
Gray says the surplus came as a result of a stronger economy and efficient management.

NEWPORT, Ky. (AP) - The Campbell County coroner and the state
medical examiner's office are investigating the deaths of three
county jail inmates over a three-week period.
The three inmates died between April 19 and May 8, but only one
was pronounced dead at the Campbell County Detention Center.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports that the deaths were not caused by
an outside force or by another person.
Chief Deputy Jailer Lt. Col. Dave Fickenscher says the cases are
not related and they were not caused by trauma.
He says the only common thread is that all three inmates were
jailed on drug-related charges.

|Assessment of left ventricular volumes and function by real time three-dimensional echocardiography in a pediatric population: a TomTec versus QLAB comparison.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20584067 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) allows accurate calculation of ventricular volumes despite a remaining geometric assumption on the ventricular shape. Few studies involving full volume reconstruction software have been performed on children. Our aim was to compare the left ventricular (LV) volume measurements obtained with the most used 3D analysis software in a pediatric population.
METHODS: Fifty patients (median age: 9.5 years) without cardiac disease were included in the study. 3DE was performed with the X4-2 or X7-2 matrix probe (ie33, Philips). The LV volume analysis was performed with QLAB 6.0 (semiautomated border detection) and TomTec 4D LV (primary manual tracking with semiautomated border detection).
RESULTS: TomTec analysis feasibility amounted to 94% whereas QLAB analysis feasibility only reached 80% (P = 0.037). The analysis time was shorter with QLAB than TomTec (5 ± 2 versus 6 ± 3 minutes, P < 0.05). The stroke volume, end diastolic and end systolic LV volume measurements performed on the 40 patients were strongly correlated (r > 0.97; P < 0.0001) with minimal bias. The LV ejection fraction was well correlated (r = 0.79; P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION: 3D LV volume quantification is feasible either by using manual or automated reconstruction software in a normal pediatric population. LV Measurements are well correlated. Differences in volume reconstruction algorithms provide specific software performance characteristics. TomTec is a more feasible method but requires a longer analysis time. Further studies are needed to validate the accuracy of the method to calculate enlarged LV volumes in patients with congenital heart diseases.

A Fort Collins Police Services vehicle sits in front of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 300 W. Mountain Ave., Sunday. Rev. Steven Voss invited an officer to keep watch after threats were made by an unidentified man against Catholics. / Madeline Novey/The Coloradoan
What to watch for
• The self-proclaimed "Islamist jihadist" who threatened the demise of Mormons and Catholics in the next two weeks is described by authorities as a 6-foot-1 white man in his early 30s with medium-length brown hair and green eyes. He was seen by Steamboat Springs police reportedly wearing a T-shirt wrapped around his head and bandana and sunglasses over his face.
• Fort Collins Police Services Sgt. Paul Wood doesn't have reason to believe the man is wanted for any crimes but encouraged people — especially religious organizations — to report any suspicious activity to the agency at (970) 221-6540.
• An associated vehicle is a white Honda coupe with black spray paint reading "Rev 14-7," the Hebrew word for god or deity, "YHVH," and "F*** DHS" (Department of Homeland Security) across the trunk's top.
Given his threats weren't specific and he reportedly made Christian and Hebrew references, the acts of the self-proclaimed "Islamist jihadist" who allegedly threatened Colorado Mormons and Catholics is cause for caution but not outright concern, Fort Collins police say.
"(His behavior is) way out of line for what we consider terrorism," said Sgt. Paul Wood, who oversees property crimes and is the agency's terrorism liaison to the Colorado Information Analysis Center. Known as CIAC, the center was established post-9/11 to coordinate efforts to prevent statewide crimes and acts of terrorism.
Fort Collins Police Services isn't actively searching for the white man who reportedly called himself the Archangel Michael and threatened the demise of Catholics and Mormons in the coming two weeks.
"Right now, we don't feel there's any danger to the public," Wood said Monday morning. But he encouraged people — and religious organizations, especially — to report suspicious behavior to authorities.
The man, who was spotted by police in Steamboat Springs last week wearing a T-shirt wrapped around his head hasn't been seen in Fort Collins, Wood said, nor did he know the man's current whereabouts.
Given the information he's collected, Wood doesn't believe the man has a criminal background or is wanted for any crimes, which is why police haven't released his name. And while the man hasn't made any specific threats — other than to say everyone will soon know who he is — police aren't ready to write him off.
"These days, with recent and not-recent events, we can't take any of them (threats) for granted," Wood said, noting this man's words and behavior are unlike that commonly connected with members of al-Qaida, for example.
The Rev. Steven Voss of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Fort Collins said he's heard from other religious leaders the man is "nonviolent" but that he's made harassing and derogatory comments outside LDS and Catholic churches. To keep the peace, Voss invited a FCPS officer to stand watch during weekend services.
"Standing out in front of a church and yelling profane, bigoted things, you're going to get contacted by police," Wood said, but even that and calling oneself an "Islamist jihadist" may not warrant criminal charges.
Wood believes the man's stop in Steamboat and then Rocky Mountain National Park on Thursday was his first foray in Colorado. Authorities believe he has been active in parts of Utah; police in Provo and Salt Lake City couldn't be reached Monday.

New Years is coming up folks! It is time to say "Goodbye" to 2013 and say "Welcome" to 2014. In the following month most people in the world will think about New Years resolution ideas. Also they will think about the goals and dreams they aim to pursue and achieve in 2014. Most people experience this increased motivation to make plans and New Year resolutions when starting a new year. Unfortunately, research has shown that you are most likely to fail. 92% of New Years resolution ideas are never implemented or acted upon. I have made a list of New Years resolution ideas to inspire you that increases you chances of success for 2014. Make 2014 the year of massive action instead of being passive and reactive.
New Years Resolution Ideas #1: Spend More Time With the Family
Sometimes we can spend too much time on the job and too little time with the people that make our life worth living. I have a sticker on my wall saying: "No one on his deathbed ever said: 'I wish I spend more time at the office.'" New Years 2014 is the most awesome point in time to start all over. If you wish you could spend more time with your family or friends I encourage you to make a New Years resolution committing to doing this. Your job won't take care of you when you are old and grey. Your family will.
New Years Resolution Ideas #2: Complete a Marathon (or Ironman)
Having a challenge to dream and think about can be motivating. I think challenges like this have great potential for New Years resolution ideas. Completing a Marathon (.. or even an Ironman) can sound impossible to some people. 2 years ago I would have fainted if someone asked me to think about running a marathon. Things changed and I made the decision to race in Ironman Copenhagen. I realized that we have the power and motivation to accomplish whatever we want in life. Racing in Ironman Copenhagen was the best thing I have done for myself. Consider a marathon or an Ironman as one of your New Years resolution ideas.
New Years Resolution Ideas #3: Eat more Healthy
Most people are aware that exercising improves your mood, sleep, brain functions and learning abilities. What less people realize is that eating healthy has a similar powerful impact on your life. Eating healthy improves your academic performance, mood, mental health and your overall physical shape. Eating healthy became important to me when I was training for Ironman. I experience a better focus, more energy and an overall better feeling. In 2014 you too should eat healthy! Make it one of your New Years resolution ideas now.
New Years Resolution Ideas #4: No Alcohol or Soft Drinks
Most people are aware that drinking alcohol and soft drinks are damaging to our body. Despite that fact most people drink it on a regular basis. What I have discovered about drinking soft drinks and alcohol is that it becomes a habit. It feels like we need to drink it on a regular basis. We have gotten our bodies used to the sugar and satisfaction. Breaking out of this habit should be one of your New Years resolution ideas for 2014. Make healthy habits and I guarantee you will see improved results in more aspects of your life.
New Years Resolution Ideas #5: Manage Your Debt
Why not make 2014 the year you pay off your debt? Debt can be a sensitive topic and most people in debt limit their feeling of happiness because of this situation. Cut down your costs and spend less money in order to pay off the debt you are in. Being debt free gives you a feeling of being liberated and on-top of things. Here are 5 smart strategies you can try to become debt free in 2014. Make money, debt and savings one of your New Years Resolution ideas this year.
New Years Resolution Ideas #6: Quit Smoking
Smoking is probably one of the worst possible habits. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands smokers around the globe. I'm not here to preach. I'm sure you have heard it all before. Smoking was cool 10 years ago. Not anymore! Have you thought about the consequences about this habit? Some people say: "I'd rather enjoy smoking and live a shorter life". I guess you have another opinion the day you are lying in the hospital having to say goodbye to your loved ones because of your selfish habit. Let 2014 be the year where "Quit Smoking" is one of your New Years resolution ideas.
New Years Resolution Ideas #7: Become a Volunteer
I have many friends that has been doing volunteer work for years. Each and every one of them tell me about their amazing experiences over and over again. You are lucky! Luckier than most people. Why not spend 2014 on helping other people that has been less fortunate? Becoming a volunteer is good way of showing gratitude for your own life. Remember that happiness does not bring gratitude but being grateful brings happiness. 2014 is going to be the year you volunteered and cared about other people.
New Years Resolution Ideas #8: Work Out 1 time a day
Nothing in this world is more satisfying than having an enjoyable workout. Prioritizing working out 1 time a day can contribute to more happiness and satisfaction in your life. Each morning I run for 20 minutes before taking a long shower. Working out for 20 minutes is enough to release endorphins (Same is released having sex). In 2014 you stop having lazy habits and become a proactive person with healthy habits. I bet your wife would love a six-pack for 2014 as well? Working out 1 time a day or on a regular basis should be one of your New Years resolution ideas.
New Years Resolution Ideas #9: Create a Positive Mindset
I have a firm belief that the only disability in life is a bad attitude. Having a bad attitude is like driving a car with a flat tyre. You never get far without changing it. Few years ago I made an important decision. I decided to adopt and maintain a positive mindset in my life. I'd never criticize and always look for the lessons instead of dwelling on the failures. I suggest you make the same decision. Let 2014 be the year you became the most positive and enthusiastic person in the world. Hard to remain positive? Here is a quick tip: Have a diary to support the process. It is easier to implement new habits when you are accountable to someone. Need more New Years resolution ideas? Read the last one!
New Years Resolution Ideas #10: Become a Better Friend
What is more inspiring than being an awesome friend? Do you always pay attention to your friends? Do you compliment them for their successes? Could you become a better friend? Most of us probably could sometimes. In 2014 I want you to aim to become a better friend than ever before. Prioritize the time and never be too busy to call a friend or send a text.
I hope you find some inspiration in this list of 10 awesome New Years resolution ideas. What can you do in order to succeed with your New Years resolution idea? Make sure you want it enough! Make sure you are 100% clarified about this conscious decision. At the end of the day it all comes down to having a strong why.
Last but not least…..

text: Ottawa's hockey season is over, and the question now is, WHAT WENT WRONG?? Followed by HOW DO WE FIX IT?? Last year ALL of hockey was abuzz over the Alfredsson/Heatley/Spezza line....remember? Then when teams started to figure out how to stop them, the Sens were screwed because nobody else on the team could score. This carried over this year, with the added benefit that our goalies once again flopped. Seriously...the Sens lack any depth in scorers, and their defence is the worse I've seen it in years. This team is on the verge of becoming another NY Islanders if they slide any further. I pray they find some answers. I cant bear another year like this...I really pity Eugene.

Tossing wristwatches away, two bikers hit the road to find America in Dennis Hopper's anti-establishment classic. After a major cocaine sale to an L.A. connection (Phil Spector), free-wheeling potheads Billy (Hopper) and Wyatt, aka Captain America (Peter Fonda, who also produced), motor eastward to party at Mardi Gras before "retiring" to Florida with the riches concealed in Wyatt's stars-and-stripes gas tank. As they ride through the Southwest, they take a hitchhiker (Luke Askew) to a struggling hippie commune before they get thrown in a small-town jail for "parading without a permit." Their cellmate, drunken ACLU lawyer George Hanson (Jack Nicholson, replacing Rip Torn), does them a "groovy" favor by getting them out of jail and then decides to join them. Babbling about Venusians, George discovers the joys of smoking grass, but an encounter with Southern rednecks soon proves how right he is about the danger posed by Billy's and Wyatt's unfettered life in a country that has lost its ideals. With the straight world closing in, Wyatt and Billy try to revel in New Orleans with some LSD and hookers (Karen Black and Toni Basil), but the acid trip is shot through with morbidity. Once they reach Florida, Billy raves about attaining the American dream; Wyatt, however, knows the truth: "We blew it." Produced and directed by two Hollywood iconoclasts with under a half-million non-studio dollars, Easy Rider shook up the languishing movie industry when it grossed over 19 million dollars in 1969; it captured the spirit of the times as it woke Hollywood up to the power of young audiences and socially relevant movies, along with such other landmarks of the late '60s as Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, and 2001. Shot on location by Laszlo Kovacs, Easy Rider eschewed old-fashioned Hollywood polish for documentary-style immediacy, and it enhanced its casual feel with improvised dialogue and realistically "stoned" acting. With a soundtrack of contemporary ock songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Band, and Steppenwolf to complete the atmosphere, Easy Rider was hailed for capturing the increasingly violent Vietnam-era split between the counterculture and the repressive Establishment. Experiencing the "shock of recognition," youth audiences embraced Easy Rider's vision of both the attractions and the limits of dropping out, proving that audience's box-office power and turning Nicholson into a movie star. The momentarily hip Academy nominated Nicholson for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and Fonda, Hopper, and Terry Southern for their screenplay. Though none of its imitators would match its impact, Easy Rider remains one of the seminal works of late '60s Hollywood both for its trailblazing legacy and its sharply perceptive portrait of its chaotic times. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

We are assuming that by "up the butt" you mean anal sex. If that is correct, then you ask an excellent question.
First of all, anal sex is the penetration of the anus by a penis (or finger or other stuff). There are a lot of nerve endings in and around the anus and many people find the stimulation of this area pleasurable. However, it can also be very painful - the anus is not as elastic as the vagina, and the anal sphincter responds to initial penetration by contracting. It is important to go slowly and wait until your partner is relaxed. You should also use lubrication such as saliva, vaginal secretions or a water based lube (water based will not deteriorate a latex condom). If your partner tries to penetrate you before you are ready, you risk tearing the anal tissue and bleeding which makes disease transmission more likely.
To become pregnant, a man's sperm needs to meet a woman's egg. The venue that this usually occurs in is the vagina - not the rectum. However, if the man does not wear a condom, or it slips off or it is worn incorrectly, there is a chance that some sperm may get into the vagina and a pregnancy could occur.
If you and your partner are going to engage in anal sex you should be aware that anal bacteria can cause serious vaginal infections and cystitis. It is imperative that your partner wears a condom and replaces the condom and/or washes his fingers thoroughly before he enters your vagina after anal intercourse. Also, if you use your tongue, cover the area with a dental dam or some kitchen plastic wrap or you run the risk of a stomach infection or a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Anal sex is considered a high-risk behavior for HIV and other STD transmission. The delicate tissue in the rectum is prone to small tears that make entryway for the AIDS virus. Latex barriers (condoms, gloves) and lots of water-based lube, to ensure the condom doesn?t break, are essential.

In this week's 'Downton Abbey,' Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay) gave birth at home, attended by husband Tom Branson (Allen Leech), two dueling physicians and many bickering family members. The Vanderbilt women also gave birth at home, more peacefully, in Biltmore House's Louis XV room.

If you haven't watched Sunday's "Downton Abbey" yet and you're reading this, stop now. Watch the show, then come back. We'll wait for you.
Ready now? Dry your tears, and we'll go on.
In a show where an obscure heir can become a beloved husband, a paralyzing war injury can miraculously heal and a huge fortune can drop from the sky just in time to rescue the family estate, it seemed nothing truly traumatic would ever afflict the family of the Earl of Grantham on PBS's Sunday night hit series.

BCBG Chiffon Tie Front Blouse: Love It or Hate It?
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
A top with too little fabric is a bad idea for a number of reasons. A top with a too much fabric, like this BCBG Chiffon Tie Front Blouse, $106, isn't quite right either. I'm beginning to feel a bit like Goldilocks here, but you really do have to have it juuust right.
I mean, I'm all for layers of chiffon, but when they're on a top like this, the nice feminine shape that should be accentuated is hidden underneath all the fabric. What about you: are you lovin' this top, or leavin' it?

4: Optimize your shoe storage
Where you decide to house footwear depends on your closet space, but you should be able to quickly put your hands on the pair you want, which means they have to be easily identifiable. We recommend using either a clear 24-pocket over-the-door shoe bag ($15; spacesavers.com); Shoe Stör clear, stackable shoe boxes, which come in three sizes (from $40 for 10; clear-shoe-boxes.com); or an aluminum stacking shoe rack ($20; containerstore.com).
