Exhaustion of rights in the download-to-own software market
In UsedSoft GmbH vs Oracle International Corp (C-128/11), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the principle of 'exhaustion of rights' applies to the download-to-own (DTO) software market. In other words, where a vendor authorises the download of a copy of a software program and grants a perpetual licence in return for payment, the acquirer of the licence may sell that copy freely to a third party.

Mary Wells
Mary Esther Wells was an American singer who helped to define the emerging sound of Motown in the early 1960s. Along with the Supremes, the Miracles, the Temptations, and the Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America, "bridging the color lines in music at the time."

Clint Eastwood Morphs Into Jimmy Stewart
Clint Eastwood's speech was, well, unique.
Eastwood was more Jimmy Stewart than Harry Callahan. He did a bit with an empty chair next to him and Eastwood was talking to it as if it were President Obama. Now that I think about it, Obama does bear some resemblance to a six foot rabbit.
Well, it didn't matter. Eastwood had some funny moments as when he referred to Joe Biden as "the intellect of the Democratic Party." He also drew laughs when he said he "never thought it was a good idea for attorneys to be President."
The Convention crowd chanted, "Let them go!!! Let them go!!!" after he said, "When somebody does not do the job, you've got to let them go."
I think this makes up for the Super Bowl ad although I never believed for a moment he supported President Obama or that his particpation in the ad was an endorsement of the President.
Well, tonight removed all doubt as to where Josey Wales stands.

I am shopping for a hybrid bike in the $300 range, and came down to a short list of 3 bikes:
Giant Hybrid DX
Trek 7100
Specialized Crossroads Sport
all of them have aluminum frames, Giant has a seat post and front suspensions, but I am not sure I care about those. Women's frame is a plus and both Giant and Trek have those, I am not sure about Specialized.
Does anyone have opinions to sway me one way or the other?
I am going to test them out on Sunday, but they are very similar products and I am afraid I won't be able to determine a clear winner by riding them.

'Food for Work' improves livelihood in Karamoja region
By Flavia Lanyero
"When I am brewing beer I have to go to the well about five times, I also ask my children to come along so that we fetch enough for the activity," says Ruth Kiyonga, a resident of Longelep village in Kotido district.
On a normal day, Kiyonga and the family only fetch water once, enough for only cooking and washing hands before meals. Other activities like washing clothes and bathing are considered a luxury. Here in Kotido, just like in the entire Karamoja region, water is not readily available. People have to walk for over three kilometers to a water source and when they get there the queues are unbearable. According to Kiyonga, one spends a minimum of three hours just to get one jerry can of water from the source to the house.
"You can walk for about 30 – 45 minutes to the well then when you get there the line is very long and you have to wait for about two hours, and then you start walking back," says Kiyonga.
It is against this backdrop that World Vision has started a number of activities to improve access to water, and offer people alternative livelihoods that will better people's living conditions. In the Northern Uganda Social Action Fund II (Nusaf II phase III) project, World Vision is implementing 92 projects in two sub countries in Kotido district, reaching out to about 6,736 households. These include; water ponds, wood lots, farm managed natural regeneration, check damns, rock catchments, apiary farming and distribution of fruit trees and vegetable seeds.
Through what is termed as 'Food for Work' people work to construct the public projects whereas the seeds and fruit trees are distributed and people trained to look after them.
In Longelep, a charcoal dam is currently under construction. Members dig three days in a week in which soil is excavated and poured onto the sides to act as buffers. This damn in particular has been under construction since July last year and is nearly complete waiting for the April rains. After the rains, the damn is expected to serve the people an extra two and a half months. After a cycle of six weeks work, each participatory member is given 40.5 kg of maize as a reward.
"At least I have some food for my children after working, this place is very dry, the last season I planted but the crops did not sprout," she says adding: "We want by the end of February to have completed the dam. The water will feed our animals and we shall spend less time looking for water. I would then concentrate on brewing more beer so that I get money to buy scholastic materials for my children and also pay school fees."
Francis Opira, the Project Coordinator Nusaf II says that Food for work project is to improve livelihood and food security for families in the area.
"The family comes up with the projects they would like to engage in, World Vision gives inputs and capacity building. It is all about tapping labour and doing projects that benefit entire communities," explains Mr Opira.
The project is funded by the World Food Programme at a tune of $501,871 from the World Food Programme while World Vision has injected in$175,924.
These projects come as a huge relief to the communities who have, until recently, been pastoralists who had to move from one place to another to look for pasture and water for their cattle. This over the years led to conflicts with neighboring communities and increased insecurity in the area. Also because the area is very dry with several episodes of drought, it has been hard to grow food all year round unless supported through irrigation for instance in addition to environment degradation.
Mr Opira says that through these projects they hope that people's lives will improve as they will be able to live more settled lives and concentrate on developing their families.
"I expect to see a reverse in environment degradation which will improve on the patterns of rainfall for the better as well as the volume. In bridging the gap for water availability, we also want to see people live more settled and meaningful lives as they have more time to engage in income generating activities," says Mr Opira.

A fan of all kinds of records needs help with his turntable.
- Filed Under
Dear Help!: I remember that several months or years ago, your column published the names and addresses of companies in Melbourne that worked on (and carried parts for) older stereo equipment. I would like to get their names and addresses and telephone numbers from you.
I still have and play the old vinyl records in 33 RPM., 45 RPM and 78 RPM. However, my record players and record turntables need help. The Garrard record changer has a "capstan drive," which is slipping badly; obviously dried out and hard as a rock. The Marantz turntable has a broken drive belt and I can't find a source for a replacement. Please let me know who can help.
Bill Coleman
Ah, what music to the ears of someone of a certain age, who, like gazillions of other people, saved her pennies while waiting breathlessly for that next single or LP to come out. And as I recall, "Beatles VI" cost the massive sum of $1.99 in Shop-Rite.
Anyway, once more, the man to see is Ken Wilhelm at Audiotronics, 319 Poinciana Drive, Melbourne. Call him at 321-242-0450
Dear Help!: Back in June you wrote about a Linda Miller in Melbourne who was using Beanie Babies to pack cookies for our troops overseas. I have moved and have a lot of them that I would like to donate

Linda - or anyone else involved with this sort of selfless activity - please contact us and we'll connect you with Jackie.
Here's one for everyone who collects or is interested in shells
Dear Help!: I am responding to your Help! question from Lona Bell of Cocoa Beach. If she were to attend the Astronaut Trail Shell Club's annual Seashell Show Jan. 14 and 15 at the Melbourne Auditorium, we would be happy to accept her shell ornaments and shells. We would sell the ornaments in our "Sandflea Market" and the proceeds would go to our college scholarship fund for graduate students studying malacology or other shell related studies.
Admission to the show is $4, but if Ms. Bell would let the people at the ticket table know that she is there to deliver the ornaments, her admission would be free. I will be at the raffle table just inside the main doors.
If she cannot make the show, our club meetings are the fourth Wednesday of the month (except December) at the Satellite Beach Civic Center, 565 Cassia Blvd.

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, author of the best-selling book, 'Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead' spoke this morning in Troy to a packed crowd about the power of social media marketing, especially as it relates to the auto industry, and gender roles in the workplace. She was the speaker at a breakfast meeting of the Adcraft Club of Detroit. /Alan Hafeli/Adcraft Club of Detroit / Alan Hafeli/Adcraft Club of Detroit
Cars matter, said Facebook COO and best-selling author Sheryl Sandberg as she spoke to a sell-out crowd of Adcraft Club of Detroit members this morning at Troys San Marino Club.
Im proud to be an American when Im in Detroit and see how this industry has transformed America, she said, drawing parallels to just how much technology and social media have also changed the way people live and work.
Cars connect people. They take us places. They speak to new opportunities and new adventures. ... Cars dont just get us from point A to point B, theyre part of our journeys.
The top question asked on Facebook, she said, is Whats the meaning of life? Whats No. 2? Its what car should I buy?
Her message resonated in a room filled with advertising and public relations professionals in a city where the auto industry dominates.
Sandberg also spoke about gender and racial bias in the workforce, a topic included in her best-selling book, Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead (Knopf, $24.95).
■ Related: Sandberg back with new Lean In guidance for millennial graduates
We elected an African-American president, and that is fabulous, but there is still racism, she said. Mary Barra is the new GM CEO, and thats fabulous, but there is still sexism. ... I think the most important thing we can do to enhance equality is to start being honest about the real challenges stereotypes pose.
Jacqueline Redmond, 31, an account director for Commonwealth in Detroit, which handles the Chevy ad campaign, said she was encouraged by how many men had come to hear Sandberg speak.
This is the direction business is moving, Redmond said, toward more equal ground.
For more than 100 years, the Adcraft Club of Detroit has hosted breakfasts and lunches with such notable speakers as Martha Stewart, the CEO of Tumblr and the CEO of AOL, to name a few. Later this month, it will host famed TV physician Dr. Oz.
Detroit matters to the marketing profession, says Adcraft Club of Detroit President Ron Boe. And when they send speakers, they send us the best.

Saddle for Wide backs and high withered horse
I am currently riding my QH in a wide tree collegiate saddle. It fits him really good through the shoulders, but I kinda cuts low over his wither, and I am afraid its rubbing. I'm looking for something that still comes in a wide, but also has a high wither. I am in the $400-$500 range and am thinking about some of the used wintec isabells or pros on ebay. Anybody know how these fit high withered horses? Also, any thoughts on thorowgood?
Look for something with a partially cutback pommel. The Isabell has a cutback pommel, so that should work well for him. Older Passier and Kieffers are a good option. The Kieffer trees can be adjusted by a qualified saddle fitter, and Passiers fit a really wide range of horses.

On Campus
Incoming SMC President Has Big Plans
While many people only use social media for their own personal entertainment, Ben Loeb is taking it to the next level.
As the incoming president of the AU Social Media Club (SMC), Loeb, BSBA '13, is hoping to use social media to connect the AU community.
Loeb has some exciting things planned for the upcoming year. First up: a blog series that will highlight the many different AU Twitter accounts (@AmericanU, @KogodBiz, @AU_SOC, and @AUcollege, among others). By interviewing the managers of each of these accounts, Loeb hopes to find out how each of the schools uses Twitter to promote their events and engage their students. He then wants to use the information to create a guide for some of the schools and departments on campus looking to start using Twitter.
Other goals Loeb has for the SMC include campaigning with an off-campus organization or company, doing an event on the visual social networks like Pinterest and Instagram, getting involved with DC Week 2012, and continuing the success of the SMC's flagship event, the Social Learning Summit, which will take place next spring.
The Westchester, New York, native is also focused on enjoying his final year at AU. "After college I'll probably look for a job with a marketing or PR agency, hopefully one that has a strong digital team," he said. He wants to earn an MBA at some point, but first wants to get some work experience under his belt.
Loeb is spending this summer interning at PeekAnalytics in New York City. There he helps to map users' digital footprints by tracking their public information across 60 different social sites. Loeb actually got the internship through Twitter: he had tweeted and written a blog post about PeekAnalytics, leading company representatives to ask him to interview.
Loeb credits the many opportunities in Washington, D.C., as his favorite part of his undergraduate experience. Different events—from the What's Next DC conference to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear—have taught him a lot about the current marketing and social media environments.
He also cites the Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity as a major influence. "Being a member of AKPsi has helped me socially by introducing me to a lot more people in Kogod, and professionally by developing important skills, such as interviewing and maintaining professional relationships."
To other students interested in the marketing/communications fields, Loeb advises "keep up to date with what's going on in the industry. Marketing is always changing. Whether it's advertising or social media, there's always something you can learn from."
If you'd like to ask a question for the SMC's upcoming blog series, tweet to the hashtag #SocialAU. You can follow Ben @loebben and the SMC @AU_SMCEDU.

Ideal for acoustic gigs or jam sessions where a full kit would be too excessive, the Cajón's (pronounced ca-hon) origins hark back to nineteenth-century South America, where it became a major part of Afro-Cuban dance music. The player sits astride the Cajón, and strikes and slaps at the back and sides with his or her hands to create different percussive sounds. Tilting the box at an angle while playing will also change the tone and timbre, while interior snares add extra 'snap' effects.
The attractively coloured wood Cajón with decorative sound hole motif measures 48cm x 31cm x 30cm, and with non-slip rubber feet for extra grip, the PP142 Cajón includes a padded carry bag to keep it safe when in transit or storage.
At £69.99rrp, the PP Drum Cajón is within every drummer's reach and would also make and ideal music school room instrument.

NOTICE: This game is set in trenches in Germany, therefore it was decided to keep the feel, that the language in the game is German (letters). The language selection between Danish and English in the beginning, is ONLY for the controls. The letters scattered around in the trenches are only bonuses and adds to the feel and ambiance of the game, take a look at them if you understand German or not, because they might hold self-explanatory drawings to aid you in the game. The game was made in a single month as part of a DADIU education. Please do not expect to play the game as an FPS, because it is not an FPS. It is a First Person Avoider Survival Horror game, for Indie Gamers. Experience the horror and senselessness of war. The enemy constantly hidden in the fog ready to pounce. Fatigue and shellshock distorting your movement and ability. The stress of uncertainty and adrenaline of chase followed by attack. Here, salvation is the blinding epileptic bombardment of the battlefied.
Jun 24th, 2013 0 people agree 1 person doesn't
I looked the design and feel tot he game but I felt it was a little to hard and got a bit boing after a while
Apr 14th, 2011 1 person agrees 5 people don't
Nice visuals, but come on, dinosars?!

This is my first question here so please bear with me - I apologise if I have not posted correctly.
I have managed to pull a job description from an XML file created by our database however, the database software is very old and it converts certain characters.
My problem is as follows: Bullet points are converted to something like the following:
" Production of Monthly Management Accounts and variance analysis

So a "(quote mark) is entered where the dot should be and a

 is entered to start a new line.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to convert the quote mark and the

 to

 and

 repspectively.
I've been looking at multiple options like,
preg_match and
substr_replace however, none of them have given the desired results.
Obviously the text between the

 and

 would change depending on job etc.
To top it all off, once this is working I need to be able to add in

 and

 around the list items, but I assume I can look for the first instance of

 and replace with

 and likewise the last instance of

 and replace with
I'm sorry for rambling on, I hope I've made myself clear.
Edit: Thanks so much for all of the quick responses, I am going to give these a bash tomorrow. I've been stuck on this most of the day so think it's time to step away.
Just to give a bit of extra info if it helps...
The database software is about 12 years old and the support for it is quite limit. If we want something doing it tends to cost a lot of money. It has a few options to export the data however, the XML for whatever reason kept HTML formatting so I went with that route.
All of the jobs have been written in Word first and then pasted into the "job field" in the database, so there is a strong chance that code has been misinterpreted.
I did a test job and made sure I used bullet points in Word and copy - pasted it into the "job field", the quote marks appeared where the dots should be, so I assume the old software doesn't "understand" the bullet points.
I will try all your great responses and report back tomorrow!
Hi, below I have pasted the actual output from source view. I have attempted the preg_replace option below which works on a single line, but as you can see the output is annoyingly placing everything continuously with no line breaks.

Characters: Harper's Island
open/close all folders
Main Cast
Abby Mills: The Good Girl
Played by: Elaine Cassidy
The Sheriff's daughter, Abby's mother was murdered by John Wakefield in the 2001 massacre. Her father sank into a deep depression after this and sent Abby to live with her grandmother in L.A. Seven years later, she returns to Harper's Island to celebrate her best friend Henry's wedding. She is the central motivation for the Wakefield-Dunn killings. Henry betrays his father and mentor in order to fulfill a Childhood Marriage Promise made years before. Did we mention Abby is Henry's half-sister? Well, she is. Abby survives the massacre.
- Action Girl: Of a sort. She does manage to kill Henry after all.
- Action Survivor: Makes it to the end of the series along with Jimmy, Shea and Madison.
- Brother-Sister Incest: Averted, much to Henry's dismay.
- Childhood Marriage Promise: She made one with Henry. That went well.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Her mom (along with several other people) was murdered by John Wakefield in 2001, and her relationships with both her father and boyfriend were (almost) completely destroyed in the process.
- Final Girl: Let's see... 25 year old virgin? Check. Pretty young lady? Check. Incorruptible Pure Pureness factor? Check.
- Pinball Protagonist: Despite being the focus of the story, she actually doesn't do much aside from uncovering information and looking shocked at the events happening around her... until the events of the finale, where she kills Henry.
- Sole Survivor: Sort of. She's one of the only four survivors of the massacre.
Henry Dunn: The Groom
Played by: Christopher GorhamThe lucky groom. Henry used to summer on Harper's Island with his family. It was there that he met his future fiancee, Trish Wellington...when cleaning her father's boat. Henry is best friends with Abby, and has been since they were little. Henry is the son of John Wakefield, and the murderer out of the 25 characters. He is killed by Abby in Episode 13.
- Alas, Poor Villain: The writers intentionally made his death extremely sad.
- Ax-Crazy: In addition to being a psycho in general, he literally uses an ax on Reverend Fain.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With John Wakefield, his dad, until...
- Big Bad: He becomes this after killing his father.
- Brother-Sister Incest: Tries to pull this off with Abby. It doesn't really work out for him.
- Famous Last Words: "Abby? But...I love you..."
- Hero Killer: Seeing how he's one of the two killers, he directly murders over half the cast.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: How Abby kills him.
- The Leader: Takes over as the unofficial leader of the group after things really go bad. In reality, he's orchestrating everything with Wakefield.
- Nice Guy: What he projects himself as, at least.
- Villain Protagonist: For the majority of the series he gets the second most focus behind Abby. Then we learn the truth about him..
- Villainous Breakdown: Has one when Abby screams that she doesn't want him. You can tell he's crossed the Despair Event Horizon.
- Walking Spoiler: No kidding.
- Would Hurt a Child: Claims that Madison (as well as her mother) escaping the island "wasn't part of the plan", implying that he would have had no qualms killing her along with everyone else.
Trish Wellington: The Bride
Played by: Katie CassidyThe bride of the wedding. She's completely devoted to Henry and proves to be pretty competent when events take a turn for the worse. In Episode 12, she's killed by Henry after he reveals himself as (one of) the killer(s).
- Betty and Veronica: Henry's Betty.
- Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress: When Henry kills her.
- Break the Cutie: After her dad dies.
- Character Death: Henry stabs her in the side.
- Daddy's Girl: She is devoted to her father and is much more upset than Shea when he dies.
- Final Girl: Averted.
- Hidden Depths: She initially appears as a not-so-intelligent rich girl with overly romantic ideals. Turns out she can take care of herself, use a shotgun without much trouble, and is one of the characters who truly takes charge in the last act.
- Missing Mom: Her mother, Vanessa, died several years before the show starts. How is never elaborated on.
- Ms. Fanservice: Doesn't flaunt it around like Chloe does, but it's still there.
- Spoiled Sweet: A genuine sweet person, averting the stereotypes usually brought up with rich characters.
Cal Vandeusen: The Outsider
Played By: Adam CampbellChloe's boyfriend and her 'plus-one' at the wedding. An English medical doctor, he is a stranger to the rest of the wedding party.
- Beta Couple: Half of it, with Chloe.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: How Wakefield kills him.
- Lost Wedding Ring: Well, engagement ring. Chloe unwittingly tosses it into the ocean in the first episode and it isn't recovered until Episode 6.
- The Medic: Patches up Charlie's spear-wound and Henry's injured leg, though he professionally works only on dead people.
- Nerds Are Sexy: His appeal. Both Chloe and Stacey the Stripper point it out.
- Nice Guy: Easily one of the nicest characters on the show.
- Odd Couple: Eventually becomes friends with Sully, who saves his life, despite spending the first few episodes as rivals for Chloe's affections.
- Say My Name: He calls for Chloe all over the place in "Splash". Her name is also his last word.
- Senseless Sacrifice: He sacrifices himself so that Chloe will have time to run from Wakefield, but she still kills herself moments later.
- Took a Level in Badass: "I am a doctor and I am ordering you to get to the boat!"
Chloe Carter: The Flirt
Played By: Cameron RichardsonOne of Trish's bridesmaids. She is flirty, fun, and devoted to her boyfriend Cal. She also has an odd obsession with serial killers, most particularly John Wakefield.

- Better to Die Than Be Killed: She kills herself by falling from a bridge after Cal is murdered, telling Wakefield he can't have her.
- Famous Last Words: "You can't have me".
- Hidden Depths: Much cleverer than she appears, and not quite as vapid.
- Ms. Fanservice: She ends up in her underwear exponentially more than any other woman in the show. Which makes sense, since she's 'the flirt' and all that.
- Nightmare Fetishist: She has a fascination with the Wakefield murders, though once she's actually surrounding by Wakefield murders she becomes quickly disenfranchised.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: It's implied that she loves Cal so much because he treats her like a real person, unlike her numerous other boyfriends.
- The Tease: Flirts with Marty and Sully but is really devoted to Cal.
Jimmy Mance: The Old Flame
Played By: C.J. ThomasonAbby's high school sweetheart and ex-boyfriend. He never quite got over her leaving so suddenly after the Wakefield murders and is intent on reconnecting with her when she's in town for the wedding. He is one of the four survivors of the series, escaping with Abby.
- Not Quite Dead: He is presumed dead in the marina explosion, but this is disproved not long after when his unconscious body is delivered to the Cannery.
- Odd Friendship: Two, actually. He's friends with Charlie, who didn't really like him when he was dating Abby. He's also friends with local Jerkass Shane who he works with and defends at all costs.
- Nice Guy: Amiable and friendly, he gets along with just about everyone he has screentime with, and sticks by his friends to no end. Mixes with Dogged Nice Guy in his pursuit of Abby.
- Promotion to Opening Titles: In Episode 5.
- Red Herring: He is the third character to be outright made a suspect, and it's implied to be the only reason Wakefield let him live that long.
- Satellite Love Interest: He doesn't really have much personality outside of wanting to get back with Abby. Shane even calls him out on it once or twice.
- The Scapegoat: Henry intended him to serve this purpose, signing a confession to the murders so he and Abby could live their 'happily ever after' on the island, presumed dead.
- Single-Target Sexuality: He hasn't dated a single other girl in the seven years since Abby left.
- Sole Survivor: Sort of. He is one of four survivors of the series, along with Abby, Shea, and Madison.
Sheriff Charlie Mills: The Sheriff
Played By: Jim Beaver
- The Alcoholic: Driven to drink after his wife's death. Apparently he was an angry drunk and blamed Abby for what happened, something he now regrets.
- Badass: Obviously.
- Dirty Cop: Put Wakefield away on false charges to keep him away from stalking his wife which caused his rampage.
- Famous Last Words: "I love you so much..."
- For Your Own Good: His initial justification for sending Abby away, which he later regrets.
- My Greatest Failure: Sending Abby away after Sarah's murder. Also, sending Wakefield to jail on inflated charges, unwittingly leading to the first massacre.
- Neck Snap: Wakefield's deathtrap hangs him.
- Odd Friendship: With his daughter's ex-boyfriend Jimmy. They meet every week for breakfast.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: He mostly defies the horror movie cliche of Police Are Useless, although this is zigzagged at points.
- Room Full of Crazy: His attic, where he keeps evidence and paraphernalia relating to Wakefield and Wakefield-related murders.
- Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: Wakefield puts him in an elaborate deathtrap that is designed to snap his neck. It works.
- Police Are Useless: Zigzagged. Charlie is intent on solving the murders, but witholds important information Wakefield being Not Quite Dead from the other characters, which leads to several deaths.
- Promotion to Opening Titles: In Episode 5.
- The Sheriff: Obviously.
Supporting Cast
Thomas Wellington: The Father of the Bride
Played by: Richard BurgiTrish's father, and the CEO of a major commercial real estate firm. He is a self-made man, and the ultimate Determinator, completely committed to getting what he wants, including stopping his youngest daughter's wedding. He is killed with a head spade booby trap during the wedding rehearsal in Episode 5. His death is a major turning point in the series, and officially closes off the 'happy and carefree' part of the show.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Not in his actual business, per se. It's just that he applies a lot of the same tactics to his family life.
- Cassandra Truth: Tells Trish in Episode 5 that he doesn't trust Henry based on "instinct". He's absolutely correct in these assumptions.
- Cuckold: His wife Katherine is sleeping with his son-in-law. Trish tells him about the affair in Episode 5, but he dies before he can do anything about it.
- Death by Looking Up: Looks up just in time to see the head spade come down on his face.
- Give Away the Bride: His role in the wedding ceremony of course, and the manner of his death in the rehearsal.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: His death is this trope.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Very cold to most people, but he's fiercely protective of his daughter. He also becomes a lot more likeable in retrospect when you realize he was totally right about not trusting Henry.
- Overprotective Dad: Crosses over with Well-Intentioned Extremist. He is so driven to protect Trish that he sets out to break up her wedding by reuniting her with her Jerkass ex-boyfriend.
- The Patriarch: Of the Wellington clan. One of the reasons his death is so jarring.
- Sacrificial Lion: His death is a major turning point in the show, and it lets the characters know there's a killer on the loose.
- Surprisingly Sudden Death: His death is very sudden and shocking, especially to the characters since by that point they didn't even know there was a killer on the island.
Hunter Jennings: The Other Man
Played by: Victor WebsterTrish's ex-boyfriend from college who, was apparently scared off by Henry after the couple broke up. However, Daddy Wellington is paying him to come back to the island in order to break up the relationship between Henry and Trish. He finally gives up and is paid an extra fee by Mr. Wellington to leave the island... and is killed by a rigged shotgun planted in his boat.
- Affably Evil: Not "evil" per se, but he's absolutely charming and handsome to people who don't know him well.
- Asshole Victim: Definitely had it coming.
- Boom, Headshot: Courtesy of a rigged shotgun.
- Chekhov's Gun: After he dies, the discovery of his boat sets off a subplot involving Malcolm and the rest of the groomsmen.
- Filler: His character and its associated subplot is only around for the first three episodes (and very briefly in the first two, at that). Hunter's whole character is a Red Herring, and his death only serves to set up the groomsmen bag of money storyline.
- Jerkass: He's a total asshole.
- Mauve Shirt: Dies in Episode 3.
- Mock Millionaire: Originally supposed to be this, but the scene revealing it was cut for time. Hunter family was supposed to have disinherited him for some indiscretion, which would have necessitated his dependence on Mr. Wellington's money. Katherine would have showed Thomas this information, which would have led to Hunter's expulsion from the island.
- Narcissist: He loves no one but himself, and really couldn't care less about Trish, so long as he gets paid.
- Noodle Incident: Whatever exactly happened 'in college' that led to Trish breaking up with Hunter and returning to Henry. It was presumably very unpleasant.
- Stalker Without a Crush: Crosses over with Only in It for the Money.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Something of a meta example. He is the only character among the 'early outs' to never be mentioned after his death. Probably because so few characters knew he was on the island, and the ones who found his body didn't know who he was.
J.D. Dunn: The Black Sheep
Played by: Dean ChekvalaHenry's unstable younger brother. Suicidal, outcast, and antisocial, he was extremely shaken by his parents' deaths and finds it difficult to connect with anyone after that. He is killed by Henry in Episode 8, and it is heavily implied that killing J.D. was most difficult for Henry.
- Bad Butt: He doesn't really do anything 'disturbed' or 'crazy' unless he's provoked. Outside of that, the worst he really does is set off firecrackers with a nine-year-old girl.
- Bar Fight: With Shane in Episode 1. Abby breaks it up.
- Birds of a Feather: With Kelly.
- Black Sheep: A truly sad example. Everything he's accused of has actually been done by his brother, who is the seemingly "normal", popular, and well-liked one, not to mention the fact that he's not even his brother
- Cain and Abel: He is murdered by his own brother. Although technically Henry isn't really his brother...
- Character Death: Henry stabs him.
- Clear My Name: When he becomes a chief suspect in the murders, he leads a short-lived investigation with Abby and Henry to prove that Wakefield is still alive and killing again.
- Famous Last Words: "It's all about you Abby...all about you." Which is very badly misconstrued by the other characters.
- Gutted Like a Fish: How he dies, and on the docks to boot.
- Icy Blue Eyes: He has them.
- Knife Nut: He carries a switchblade with him, though he never uses it.
- Loners Are Freaks: A tragic part of his character.
- Odd Friendship: With Madison. He's her only friend on the island. Well, besides Wakefield...
- Red Herring: The second character to be explicitly made a suspect.
- Suicide Pact: Had one with his girlfriend. It didn't exactly work however, and J.D was saved while his girlfriend died.
- Tattooed Crook: While not a 'crook' per se, J.D is covered in tattoos to emphasise his rebellious antisocial nature.
- Troubled, but Cute: He's still pretty likable despite his issues.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: According to the flashback in Episode 13.
Christopher "Sully" Sullivan: The Best Man
Played by: Matt BarrThe best friend of Henry Dunn, and best man at his wedding. He is fatally stabbed by Henry in Episode 13, and officially the last of the wedding guests to die
- Blond Guys Are Evil: Not evil per se, but initially he is a bit of a Dirty Coward, being perfectly willing to abandon a child on an island where people are dying to save his own skin and a Handsome Lech. He gets better
- The Casanova: He chased Trish in college, chases after Chloe in the early episodes, clearly wouldn't mind spending some time with the other bridesmaids, has been trying to sleep with Abby for years and even snags a quick Now or Never Kiss from Nikki. However...
- Casanova Wannabe: He never actually gets together with anyone, despite his efforts. Of the principle male characters he's the only one without a love interest of some kind.
- Character Development: He has the most definite character arc of the 25 characters. As a matter of fact, he gets more character growth than some of the principles.
- Childhood Friends: With Henry. One of the reasons Henry's confession breaks him so badly.
- Dirty Coward: When Madison is kidnapped, Sully is the most vocal about leaving her behind in favor of going home, going so far as to attempt escape with Cal, Chloe, and Beth.
- Fratbro: At first, but he develops Hidden Depths.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Henry, and to a lesser extent Danny.
- In the Back: Literally and figuratively by his best friend
- Jerkass: At first.
- The Lancer: In the latter half of the show, Sully takes this role, occassionally sharing it with Jimmy.
- The Leader: Of the groomsmen.
- Redemption Equals Death: He lets Shea and Madison leave the island without him, intending to stay behind until Henry gets back. Ironically, Henry is secretly the murderer and ends up killing him.
Marty Dunn: The Uncle
Played by: Harry HamlinHenry and J.D.'s uncle, and J.D's legal guardian since his parents' deaths. He's fun-loving and acts much younger than he is, and is completely devoted to Henry and his impending wedding. He is killed in the first episode, and is the first of the 25 characters to die.
- Briefcase Full of Money: Marty brings a bag of $250,000 dollars to the island, which changes hands several times following his death.
- In Episode 13 Henry reveals that the money was supposed to be for Malcolm to help him start up his brewery. He planted the bag on Hunter's boat with the intent of Malcolm finding it, just For the Evulz.
- The Casanova: Very much a skirt chaser. He's only shown on screen with Chloe, but he's apparently such a hit with the ladies that a random fling is a believable enough excuse to explain his absence once he's dead.
- Character Death: Wakefield ensures that he doesn't last the first episode.
- Cool Old Guy: A mild example, but a good one nonetheless
- Cool Uncle: To JD and Henry. Well, actually only JD
- Dead Star Walking: One of the biggest names in the cast, he's dead by the end of the first episode.
- Exact Eavesdropping: He overhears Thomas conspiring with Hunter about breaking up the wedding, making him one of a very select group of people who knew Hunter was on the island. Of course, He's killed that same night, before he can do anything about it.
- Floorboard Failure: As he's crossing a footbridge in the woods, the boards suddenly give out underneath him, allowing him to be neatly cut in two.
- Foil: To Mr. Wellington.
- Half the Man He Used to Be: Bifurcated on a bridge, thanks to John Wakefield
- Honorary Uncle: He insists everybody call him 'Uncle Marty', whether they like it or not.
- Large Ham: Probably why he's a fan favorite despite only appearing the the first episode.
- Incoming Ham: His first scene has him show up with a Mariachi Band, doing a Mexican hat dance, screaming "Olé!" at the top of his lungs and declaring that "For the entire week, it's gonna be Uncle Marty for everyone!"
- Life of the Party: See Incoming Ham.
- Red Herring. Everything to do with his character, really. The bag of money, the gun, his business in 'sales', his determination to see the wedding happen.... This makes his death in the first episode all the more shocking.
- Secret Keeper: A possible interpretation is that Marty was the only one who knew that Henry was adopted. It could very well explain why he was killed so early on, before suspicion could take root.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: The first of the 25 major characters to die.
Tertiary Characters
Shea Allen: The Maid of Honor
Played by: Gina HoldenTrish's big sister and the matron of honor. She escapes the island with Madison in Episode 13 and is one of the four survivors of the massacre
- Action Survivor: Survives to the end of the series, along with her daughter, Abby, and Jimmy.
- Break the Cutie: By the end of the series she's lost her father, husband, stepmother, sister, and many of her close friends.
- The Generic Girl: She doesn't really get a great deal of depth.
- The Load: Doesn't contribute a whole lot to the group, although unlike her daughter she never gets any Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moments.
- Housewife: Is implied to be this, as her husband works a very demanding corporate job.
- Mama Bear: Very protective of Madison, to the point where she unwittingly hinders several important revelations in the third act.
- Missing Mom: Like Trish, her mother died a few years before the story starts. She isn't quite as resentful of her new stepmother Katherine, though.
- Sole Survivor: Sort of. She's one of the only four survivors.
- Trauma Conga Line: A particularly brutal one, which crosses into Take That, Scrappy! for some fans. Within a space of 24 hours she watches her father die, learns about her husband's affair with her stepmother, discovers her daughter is kidnapped and learns that her husband is dead and her daughter is being held for ransom.
Richard Allen: The Brother-in-Law
Played by: David LewisShea's husband and the brother-in-law to Henry and Trish. He is secretly having an affair with Katherine, and is impaled by a harpoon shortly after his secret comes out.
- Asshole Victim: While he wasn't the biggest asshole on the show, he was definitely marked for death after his affair was revealed.
- Bondage Is Bad: Richard isn't exactly portrayed in a sympathetic light, and his BDSM session with Katherine in Episode 4 is portrayed as something quite sinister.
- Casanova Wannabe: He has an implied flirtation with Lucy in Episode 2 and quite noticeably is oogling Chloe under Cal's nose in Episode 3. His efforts get him nowhere, which undoubtedly fuels his inferiority complex.
- Divorce Assets Conflict: Richard was clearly anticipating custody troubles with Madison after the affair was exposed. He's on the phone with his lawyer when he is killed.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Henry shoots him with a harpoon gun.
- Jerkass: He's quite the asshole, cheating on Shea with little regard to how it'll affect her and his daughter.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A possible interpretation of his character, as his love for Madison is genuine.
- Red Herring: Briefly becomes a suspect, although these concerns are put to rest when he dies in episode 6.
- Revenge: His reasons for sleeping with Katherine are mostly rooted in sticking it to Thomas rather than betraying his wife.
- Villainous Rescue: When he saves Trish from the closing pool in Episode 4. This crosses over into Deus ex Machina as he sort of just comes out of nowhere with an unsettling rapidity.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The articles on the Wakefield murders he requested from Harper's Globe. Katherine shows them to Charlie in Episode 6, which suggests Richard might be the Wakefield copycat. However, he dies the same episode and the articles are never brought up again.
- Your Cheating Heart: He is cheating on Shea with Katherine.
Madison Allen: The Flower Girl
Played by: Cassandra SawtellThe young daughter of Shea and Richard.
- Action Survivor: Makes it out alive.
- Break the Cutie: By the end she's lost almost everyone close to her.
- Can Not Spit It Out: She knew Wakefield was alive from the beginning, but doesn't reveal anything until it's too late. She also lies to everyone on Wakefield' s orders, turning everyone against Sheriff Mills because it's part of 'the game'.
- Creepy Child: She can come off as really creepy, to the point where it seems like she knows more about what's going on than the others.
- Creepy Monotone: She slips in and out of one throughout the series.
- Dead Person Conversation: In Episode 4, Madison claims that 'the spirits' told her there wasn't going to be a wedding. However, it is more likely that it was Wakefield she was talking to, and she merely believed she could talk to ghosts.
- Infant Immortality: Being the youngest character, she obviously survives.
- Kids Are Cruel: She's awfully spiteful beneath all of her Creepy Child tendencies. She kills small animals, rips up flower beds and, according to Katherine, often hides from her parents to get attention.
- The Load: Not only is she useless, but she causes some problems as well (see Nice Job Breaking It, Hero).
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Caused several deaths by withholding information from the group because she was "scared".
- Not Now, Kiddo: When the gang is holed up in The Cannery, Madison sees Wakefield approaching. She tries to warn the others but gets this response. Nikki ends up dead not a minute later.
- Tagalong Kid: The only child in the cast.
- Sole Survivor: Sort of. She's one of the only four survivors.
Katherine Wellington: The Stepmother
Played by: Claudette MinkThe wife of Thomas Wellington and stepmother to Trish and Shea. She is having an affair with Richard and, as a result, is outcasted by the Wellingtons afterward. She is killed in Episode 9.
- In the Back: Is stabbed in the back with pruning shears by Henry, through a couch no less.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite her affair with Richard, She genuinely cares about Thomas and Madison. She tries to explain this to Trish and Shea, but they rebuff her for obvious reasons.
- Killed Offscreen: Is murdered offscreen by Henry. Shane finds her body.
- Lady Drunk: She hits the bottle hard after the affair is exposed.
- Lonely Together: With Shane in Episode 9. They share a drink at the bar and evidently got along well enough to keep each other company while everyone was running around not trusting them. Shane is the only witness to her death because of this.
- Mauve Shirt: She never really gets much screentime or personality before dying.
- May-December Romance: With Thomas, though the 'romance' part is debatable.
- Trophy Wife: Her whole aesthetic, of course.
- Your Cheating Heart: Is having an affair with Richard.
Danny Brooks: The College Buddy
Played by: Brandon Jay Mc LarenA groomsman and Henry's best friend from college.
- Badass: One of the only characters to put up a fight against Wakefield, although he still ends up losing.
- Black Best Friend: To the other groomsmen.
- Black Dude Dies First: Totally averted. He dies in the penultimate episode.
- Dying Moment of Awesome: He does not go down easy. Wakefield even acknowledges that he put up a good fight.
- The Generic Guy: Sadly, although Danny is around for a while he never gets much personality aside from being nice.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Fights Wakefield to allow Shea and Madison to escape.
- Eye Scream: Wakefield impales him through the eye with a memo holder.
- Nice Guy: One of the nicest characters on the show.
- Token Minority: At least he doesn't die first.
- Unstoppable Rage: He goes berserk when Malcolm confesses to accidentally getting Booth killed.
Malcolm Ross: The Hustler
Played by: Chris GauthierOne of the groomsmen.
- Aborted Declaration of Love: Seems to be what happens in Episode 7, when Malcolm is too busy trying to hide the money to spend a minute or two talking with a tragically disappointed Beth.
- Disposing of a Body: When Booth shoots himself, Malcolm buries him in the woods. He ends up being killed before he can reveal where he put the body.
- The Funny Guy: Of the groomsmen, next to Sully as The Leader, Danny as The Lancer and Booth as The Smart Guy.
- Heel-Face Door Slam: Just when he decides to man up and burn the money, he is murdered.
- I Did What I Had to Do: He is deep in debt and uses it as an excuse to take the suitcase full of money in Hunter's boat.
- Life of the Party: He brings his own beer, is full of laughs, and looks forward to the debauchery of the bachelor party, though he is unfortunately unable to attend it.
- My God, What Have I Done?: He is plagued with guilt after accidentally getting Booth killed.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: So many problems could have been avoided if he just hadn't taken Hunter's suitcase. Namely, Booth wouldn't be dead.
- Off with His Head!: His head is chopped off and thrown into the fire.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: He is hacked to pieces by Henry, and his head and limbs are tossed into an incinerator.

Played by: Sean RogersonOne of the groomsmen.
- Butt Monkey: Things really don't go well for him.
- A Death in the Limelight: Gets a lot of focus in episode 4 before dying.
- Hollywood Nerd: Has all the qualities of a stereotypical nerd.
- I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: He accidentally shoots himself in the leg with his gun when Malcolm surprises him. While he doesn't feel anything at first, he abruptly collapses and bleeds to death.
- Mauve Shirt: Little more than a background character in the first three episodes, he gets some characterization in episode 4 before dying.
- Nervous Wreck: Become one during the debacle with the money.
- Only a Flesh Wound: Averted; while it took a minute for him to die that shot to the leg was fatal.
Beth Barrington: The Single Girl
Played by: Amber Borycki
- The Generic Girl: See Red Shirt.
- Half the Man He Used to Be: Danny only finds half of her body.
- Nice Girl: From her limited screentime, she seems to be pretty pleasant.
- Killed Offscreen: She goes missing and her bisected corpse is later found by Danny.
- Red Shirt: The biggest on the show. She sticks around for a good portion of the show but despite this, she practically blends into the background and has literally no personality or discernible character traits. It became a Memetic Mutation in the fandom to say "who the hell is Beth?" when she goes missing.
Lucy Daramour: The Socialite
Played by: Sarah SmytheA bridesmaid and one of Trish's childhood friends.
- Friend to All Living Things: Is very attached to her dog.
- Forgotten Fallen Friend: Her absence isn't even mentioned at the bachelorette party.

- Badass: For all his faults, he puts up a good fight against Wakefield and even manages to briefly survive being impaled.
- The Bully: To JD.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Fights Wakefield so that the others can get away. After being impaled, he uses his last ebb of life to distract Wakefield once more so that Trish and Chloe can sneak through a window.
- Redemption Equals Death: All of this was pretty surprising considering how much of a dick he had been earlier.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: His ultimate fate, though...
- Not Quite Dead: He barely survives and uses the little strength he has left to distract Wakefield again.
- Killed Offscreen: When the group returns to the bar they find Shane, dead and strung up.
- Jerkass: He's an aggressive jackass to just about everyone.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: However, in the end he proves himself to be good at heart when he pulls a Heroic Sacrifice.
- Kick the Dog: Mocks JD's suicide attempt and the death of Abby's mother.
- Odd Friendship: With Jimmy, considering Jimmy's a Nice Guy and Shane's a Jerkass.
Kelly Seaver: The Outcast
Played by: Anna Mae RoutledgeShane's ex-girlfriend. Her mother was killed during Wakefield's original massacre.
- Cassandra Truth: Everyone thought she was crazy when she claimed Wakefield was still alive.
- Killed Offscreen: [[spoiler: She is hanged by Wakefield and her body is found hours later.
- Loners Are Freaks: Probably why she quickly hits it off with JD.
- Never Suicide: Her death is initially assumed to be a suicide, but it becomes clear that she was murdered.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Dies in the second episode.
Nikki Bolton: The Biker Chick
Played by: Ali LiebertAbby's friend who manages the Cannery.
- Absentee Actor: She appears sporadically in the first few episodes, then vanishes almost completely once the situation gets serious. She returns in episode ten, only to be killed in the next episode.

- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: How Wakefield kills her.
Maggie Krell: The Wedding Planner
Played by: Beverly ElliotThe manager of the Candlewick Inn.
- The Generic Girl: One of several characters we never really learn much about.
- Killed Offscreen: After abandoning the group under the impression that she's safe, her hanged corpse is dropped from the roof minutes later.
- Nice Girl: She's very friendly.
- Too Dumb to Live: Really, Maggie? Leaving the group based on a theory? It's no surprised when she is killed.
John Wakefield: The Legend
Played by: Callum Keith RennieA mysterious serial killer who appeared on Harper's Island in 2001 and, seemingly without motive, killed six people before being shot dead by Sheriff Mills, whose wife was one of the victims. Seven years later his presence is still very much felt on the island. In reality, Wakefield is still very much alive and is responsible for the ongoing murder spree, along with his illegitimate son Henry.
- Ax-Crazy: Obviously.
- Badass: He is very much a badass with dozens of kills under his belt.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With his son Henry until....
- Disc One Final Boss: Gets killed by Henry in the finale.
- Domestic Abuse: Implied to have been the case with Sarah Mills, which was why she left him.
- Et Tu, Brute?: When Henry kills him.
- Implacable Man: In true slasher killer fashion.
- Never Found the Body: Sheriff Mills shot him and saw him fall off of a cliff, but never found the body and instead took the credit for killing him by putting another corpse in his coffin. Sure enough, he survived.
- Not Quite Dead: Turns out he survived his encounter with Sheriff Mills all those years ago and is one of the killers.
- Character Death: Although Henry ends up betraying him and stabbing him in the chest in the finale.
- Posthumous Character: Died years before the start of the show. Except he didn't.
- Serial Killer: He killed six people on the island prior to the start of the series, and kills many more in the actual show.
- Shrouded in Myth: He's a local legend due to his actions.
- Walking Spoiler: Knowing too much about him reveals that he's still alive.
- Weapon of Choice: Fishing-oriented weapons, most particularly a head spade and a boarding knife.

The Magazine
Feb 23, 1998, Vol. 3, No. 23 • By ALLISON R. HAYWARD and JAN WITOLD BARAN
WASHINGTON IS OBSESSED with campaign fund-raising practices. In 1997, political elites spent considerable energy debating the legality of Al Gore's telephone fund-raising, while a Senate committee held televised hearings on White House coffee klatches.
Fueling the obsession is the fact that fund-raising is governed by literally thousands of pages of statutes, regulations, and rulings, which apply to every candidate for president and Congress. Three hundred officials at the Federal Election Commission supervise the process. And to most in Washington, "campaign-finance reform" means adding more of the same. Although Washington insiders depend on the freedom of speech for their livelihood, most object to unrestricted speech in the campaign context. The McCain- Feingold bill, notably, calls for new bans and regulations, and for a bigger and more powerful FEC to enforce the growing mountain of laws.
But in all of the debates over campaign reform, no one in Washington seems to have glanced across the Potomac to the Commonwealth of Virginia, which has just inaugurated a governor elected under a remarkable campaign-finance system as different as possible from those the reformers love.
According to the conventional wisdom, Virginia should be mired in corruption. America's 12th-largest state, after all, limits neither the size of contributions to its political candidates nor the amount spent by campaigns. It has no public funding of campaigns and permits corporations and unions (barred from contributing in federal elections) to make donations. Commonwealth law merely requires public disclosure of the money politicians raise and spend. Yet Virginia is not mired in corruption. Asked to identify a local scandal involving campaign finance, University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato pauses, then replies, "I really cannot think of a major campaign-finance scandal."
So, how does a large, modern state escape endless pages of campaign-finance regulations -- and avoid campaign-finance scandals as well? Virginia relies on just two measures: disclosure and term limits. Disclosure is the linchpin.
Virginia's approach is consistent with the political philosophy of native son James Madison. Madisonian democracy accepts the reality of factions and allows for factions to be heard. Indeed, it encourages broad participation in politics so that no single faction can dominate. Legal restrictions, such as those governing federal campaigns, distort this competition. Their Rube Goldberg requirements and prohibitions spawn such phenomena as "independent expenditures," "soft money," and "issue ads," all of which complicate the flow of political money to its designated ends and make political support more difficult to trace.
In Virginia, because there are no contribution and spending limits, no such contrivances arise. Instead, "special interests" openly support their chosen candidates. (The only groups not allowed to contribute are judges, pari- mutuel betting licensees, and racing-commission members.) Contributors of over $ 100 are named publicly, in alphabetical order, with their occupation and employer listed. And reporting must be timely: within 72 hours, for contributions of over $ 1,000 for a statewide office or $ 500 for any other office received in the last 13 days of the campaign. With this information in hand if they want it, the voters make their choice -- and the winner takes office only if his contribution and expenditure reports are complete.
In Virginia, a candidate of modest personal wealth can raise the millions needed for a statewide campaign. The winner of the November '97 governor's race, Jim Gilmore, is the son of a butcher. He succeeded the son of a professional football coach (George Allen), who himself succeeded the grandson of slaves (Doug Wilder). Compare these governors with the incumbent U.S. senators, elected under the federal campaign laws. Chuck Robb and John Warner are men of means with glamorous personal backgrounds (Robb is married to President Johnson's daughter, and Warner was married to actress Elizabeth Taylor). Unlike the U.S. Senate, the Virginia State House is not increasingly populated by millionaires.

share certain features. For example, mutations in the retinal Ca2+
channel cause night blindness, and defects in a homologous Ca2+ channel
expressed in multiple tissues result in a multi-system disorder including
cognitive abnormalities, hyperglycemia, cardiac arrhythmias, and
developmental defects. Investigation of one type of ion channel from multiple
perspectives can thus catalyze efforts to understand a range of channelopathies. »» more
