"If our region is to prosper, it will be because (Purdue Calumet is) producing highly accomplished graduates who can attract employers with better jobs…"
I made that comment during our Jan. 31st Spring Term Faculty/Staff Convocation, and I did so within the context of discussing campus strategic efforts to continue to grow, strengthen and reposition Purdue Calumet as a full-service, regional university. Key to our repositioning is the success we experience raising the bar of what our graduates can learn and do.
We take great pride in presenting our graduates a Purdue degree. The problem we face, however, is that too many of our students take too long to complete their degrees, or do not complete them at all.
We acknowledge that there are noteworthy reasons why so many of our students do not graduate on time—personal, family, work-related, among others. But we also know that preparation and motivation drive the bus to degree completion.
With our state and nation setting goals for increasing the number of graduates we produce, and with plans in the works to tie those goals to our university's state budget appropriation in the form of performance-based funding, it is clear that degree completion should be a top priority.
In the online Winter issue of Purdue Calumet INSIGHT magazine, the feature story, headlined Raising the Bar, reveals some of our strategic efforts for attracting more prepared and motivated students to our campus to earn a Purdue degree. You can read that story at the following link: http://webs.purduecal.edu/insight/2011/01/07/raising-the-bar/
Our efforts to raise the bar of accomplishment are repositioning us to attract a new pool of students who are a good fit for the challenging, high quality Purdue education we offer.
Additionally, as I expressed Jan. 31, Purdue Calumet is well-positioned to make a difference expanding the college educated population, as more than two-thirds of our enrollees represent the first generation in their families to attend college. Universities like Purdue Calumet provide opportunities that may not otherwise be available for such students.
The ability to increase our number of graduates not only enables our region to prosper, it also equips more of our citizens to participate in that prosperity.

|Mariners | Seattle trades for Joaquin Benoit
Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:27:22 -0800
The Seattle Mariners traded for San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit Thursday, Nov. 12, in exchange for P Enyel De Los Santos and INF Nelson Ward.
Fantasy Tip: The Mariners are really trying to fortify their bullpen for 2016, and they may not be done adding. It's unclear who would be the favorite to close with Tom Wilhelmsen and Carson Smith currently the top candidates. Benoit would likely fill more of an eighth-inning setup role like he did with San Diego, but he could fall into some closing opportunities if injuries strike.

|Padres | Joaquin Benoit on the trade block
Wed, 04 Nov 2015 14:27:20 -0800
San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit is available in the trade market, according to sources.
Fantasy Tip: Benoit's fantasy value depends on his role in the bullpen. He has a 1.98 ERA, a 0.91 WHIP and a 9.6 K/9 over the past three seasons, and he has 37 saves during the span. If Benoit lands in the closer role, he'll check out as a mid-tier reliever. As it stands, Benoit is a ratio stabilizer in deep mixed leagues who can vulture the odd win and save to roster.

|Padres | Joaquin Benoit's option picked up
Tue, 03 Nov 2015 16:02:27 -0800
San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit's $8 million option for the 2016 season was picked up Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Fantasy Tip: Benoit is the primary eighth-inning setup man and fantasy handcuff to Craig Kimbrel. There's really no reason to roster Benoit in a shallow mixed league unless Kimbrel is traded or injured before the 2016 season.

|Padres | Friars pull 2 pitchers back
Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:34:01 -0700
San Diego Padres SP Ian Kennedy and RP Joaquin Benoit have both been pulled back, after being claimed on waivers Tuesday, Aug. 18. Both pitchers are now ineligible to be traded.
Fantasy Tip: Kennedy ($5,700, 11.4% of cap) has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts, as he had significantly upped his value. Benoit has allowed just one earned run in his last 11.0 innings pitched, as he continues to be a reliable option at the backend of the Padres' bullpen.

|Padres | Friars could still deal pending FAs
Fri, 31 Jul 2015 13:39:16 -0700
San Diego Padres SP Ian Kennedy, RP Joaquin Benoit and OF Will Venable will not be extended contract extension offers, if they are not dealt in August.
Fantasy Tip: The Padres have a favorable upcoming schedule and playoff aspirations, so they stood pat at the deadline. However, they could still deal a few pending free agents, if they prove to be out of contention next month. It is a fluid situation, but at this point, it seems likely Kennedy, Benoit and Venable will stick with the Friars for a playoff race.

Fri, 31 Jul 2015 12:09:23 -0700
San Diego Padres SP Ian Kennedy and RP Joaquin Benoit are not of interest to the New York Yankees if they can't acquire Padres RP Craig Kimbrel, according to sources.
Fantasy Tip: Kennedy, Benoit or Kimbrel could all still be dealt in separate deals, but the Yankees have their sights set high while trying to upgrade an already stellar bullpen. Stay tuned as the trade deadline approaches.

Wed, 29 Jul 2015 10:46:41 -0700
San Diego Padres RPs Craig Kimbrel and Joaquin Benoit and Milwaukee Brewers RP Francisco Rodriguez are of interest to the Houston Astros as they look to upgrade their bullpen.
Fantasy Tip: Houston's interest in adding a bullpen arm is not what owners of Luke Gregerson want to hear, as he'd likely be removed from the closer role if they add one of those arms at the deadline. Other closing candidates would emerge in San Diego or Milwaukee, too, if a trade goes down. Stay tuned.

|Padres | Joaquin Benoit fully recovered
Fri, 08 May 2015 09:05:07 -0700
San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit (shoulder) is fully recovered from right shoulder inflammation that he had been dealing with, according to manager Bud Black. Benoit hasn't appeared in the last five games and seven of the team's last eight contests.
Fantasy Tip: Benoit lost pretty much all of his fantasy value right before the 2015 season started when the Friars traded for lights-out closer Craig Kimbrel. And with Benoit inconsistent in the early going, he's not making much of a case to be owned in deep NL-only leagues, either.

Sun, 05 Apr 2015 16:11:27 -0700
San Diego Padres RP Joaquin Benoit will lose nearly all fantasy value with the addition of RP Craig Kimbrel Sunday, April 5.
Fantasy Tip: Benoit was set to open the season as the Padres closer but will now be relegated to a setup role. Unless you're in a league that counts holds, Benoit can be thrown to the waiver wire.

Police investigate incident at Brisbane hotel involving Wallabies Kurtley Beale and Quade Cooper
- From: The Courier-Mail
- June 08, 2012
Wallabies stars Quade Cooper and Kurtley Beale have been involved in a boozy incident at a Brisbane nightspot where police were called.
The Australian Rugby Union confirmed on Friday they were investigating an incident.
"We've been made aware of an incident overnight and are still making our own enquiries. As a matter of process the issue will be referred to an ARU disciplinary review procedure. We have nothing further to add at this stage," an ARU spokesman said.
According to police sources, Beale allegedly struck a security guard at the Victory Hotel after he and Cooper were ejected from the premises.
Cooper then grabbed the phone of a witness who was filming the incident, and smashed the device, it was alleged.
No charges have been laid further police action has not been ruled out..
Sources indicate police attended the nightspot on Thursday night after a reported scuffle involving the players and fellow patrons.
Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group Queensland manager David Curry, whose company owns the Victory Hotel, said he was aware of the incident "but as far as I'm concerned it's a minor incident and we won't be commenting further".
Neither player is involved in Saturday night's Test against Wales at Suncorp Stadium.
Fly-half Cooper was released from the Wallabies squad earlier in the week because he needs more time to reach full match fitness and confidence after a long lay-off following major knee surgery.
Fullback Beale accompanied the Wallabies to Brisbane where he has received more treatment on his damaged shoulder. He is a chance to return to the side later in the three-Test series against Wales when he regains fitness.
It continues a chequered history of off-field incidents for Cooper.
Late in 2009, he found himself charged with burglary of a laptop on the Gold Coast after a drunken night out.
Only a compensation payment made the ugly incident go away when the charges were withdrawn in mid-2010 after mediation at Southport Magistrates Court.
He was in hot water again after being evicted from a North Stradbroke Island bar last December.
Beale had done work to repair his image after being fined in 2007 when being caught driving under the influence and without a licence as a teenager.

Hypercholesterolemia (hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia)
Elevated LDL cholesterol or low HDL cholesterol increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"). Atherosclerosis can begin to develop in adolescence and progress without any symptoms for many years. It leads to heart attack and stroke later in life.
Hyperlipidemia is a common and treatable cause of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of death in both men and women in developed countries. The goal is to diagnose and retard or reverse atherosclerosis while it is still in a silent early state
Screening tests
Blood lipid panel that includes:
Who to test and how often
Benefits of early detection
There is good evidence that lowering elevated LDL cholesterol and increasing low HDL is beneficial in heart attack prevention and in some cases stroke prevention in subjects with or without known atherosclerosis.
Treatment of elevated LDL cholesterol is multi-dimensional. Patients should discuss their total caloric intake, total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol intake as well as weight reduction and regular exercise with their doctor. Cholesterol-lowering medications are also an important part of treatment for many people with elevated blood lipid levels.

The Feast of Christ the King
Today is the Feast of Christ the King, the last Sunday in our church year.
I always find it a strange feast to celebrate in a democracy, in which the whole point is that we do not have kings, but shared authority vested in the people and temporarily delegated to elected leaders. What does thinking about Jesus as a King mean to folk like us?
This year it is particularly strange, for, with the exception of the marriage of William and Kate, this has been a bad year for kings. Monarchs, tyrants, plutocrats, and autocrats of every stripe have found themselves under assault from a powerful wave of populism, as the citizens of country after country have risen up to hold their leaders accountable for their stewardship of their nations. Throughout the Middle East and in parts of Europe and the United States, the official narrative of power has been held up and judged against another set of ideas, one that speaks of fairness, liberty, and raising up the poor. Ruler after ruler has heard a cry that translates, roughly: "as you did it to the least of us, so shall it be done to you."
Christ is a different kind of king, and his authority always calls our leaders to account, whatever the form of our government or our political preferences. Christ embodies a form of leadership that is rarely seen in our world. In the ordinary scope of things, our leaders wear nice suits and inhabit the corridors of power and cut deals with the wealthy and the powerful. Christ, however, threw in his lot entirely with those whom the doors of power shut out. He would talk with anyone, eat with everyone, and, in the end, died among the refuse of his people. He was a leader who led from below.

When and how — and where and why — did humans develop as a species
and as social beings? What can we discover about social relations in different
societies in the past – and now?
Old bones, fossils, ancient tools made of stone – these
are some of the items that scientists look for and study to learn
about how people developed physically, mentally and socially. The
environment – the land, plants and animals, the climate – can
tell scientists a great deal about the conditions early people
faced and provide explanations for how they lived.
Different types of scientists work on different aspects of these
investigations. Archaeologists focus on material things – such
as graves, buildings, tools and pottery – that people have
left behind. Physical anthropologists study the origins of human
beings themselves, from old bones to modern DNA studies. Geographers
concentrate on space and its relation to human activity.
Both people and the Earth are still changing. Scientists address
issues that arise from contemporary differences in people, their
cultures and their relationships with their environments. Accounting
for such differences can tell us why we are the way we are and
where possibilities for change or adaptation lie.

Why Should You Apply It To Your Laminate Floors?
Laminate, Pergo, bamboo, and cork as well as wood floors get scuffed, scratched, and dull looking from normal wear. They can also be easily damaged by water. Laminate & Pergo type floors are the most susceptible to water damage. There is no water proofing applied to the sides and underside of these floors.
When water penetrates through the joints & seams it causes the substrate layer (pressed wood) to expand and buckle. When this happens to laminate, Pergo, bamboo, or cork floors, the floor or a portion of it has to be replaced (real wood would have to be sanded). Our Restorer laminate floor finish helps seal and protect those joints & seams on your new or old floor, while putting a long lasting shine on the floor.
When new laminate & Pergo type floors are installed there is a lot of over-spray and dirt from the factory, you may not notice it, but it is there. This over-spray collects dirt, cooking oils in the air and other residue. It is very stubborn and cannot be removed by simply mopping the floor (even with a cleaner). This over-spray leads to some of the most common issues like streaking, hazing & footprint tracking. (Click here for more information) Our deep scrubbing Fresh Start Cleaner will remove this over-spray and all other contaminates from the floor allowing the real beauty to come through.
Retail stores have sold laminate floors as 'maintenance-free floors'. But no floor is maintenance-free, they get dirty, scratched, scuffed and dull looking just like any floor surface that is walked on. Our Restorer Finish will add a beautiful shine, fill and hide those scratches and put down a very durable and protective coating to help prevent future damage.
You should not use strong chemicals to clean them or it may damage the aluminum oxide coating and ruin your floor. There has been no way to keep these types of floors looking shiny and new. Waxes, Mop & Glow, Quick Shine, and those types of coatings should never be used on laminate type floors. And as stated above; these types of floors are very susceptible to water damage. Many people who bought them are not aware of this. Only a lightly damp mop, or our maintenance Floor Cleaner should be used to clean them, and spills should be gotten up immediately.
We see a lot of people online recommending water & vinegar to clean laminate floors. This is a big mistake! VINEGAR IS AN ACID and each time you clean laminate with it, it eats away at the surface, dulling and potentially weakening the aluminum oxide coating of your floor.
Here is the kicker, up until now there has NOT been a product made exclusively for protecting, restoring & cleaning laminate!

After a radioisotope has been injected into a vein, a series of pictures are taken of the liver by a scanner. The liver scan is probably the best way to study the liver without surgery. It is particularly valuable because it can provide information about liver function. It is also used to help confirm other test results.

text: I am working on making Meads (Honey wine) and after speaking to a master Vinter he advised I lower the pH of my starting water & honey mixture to 3.5 for various reasons. I'm interested in experimenting to see if this gives a noticeable taste difference to the mead. I know honey is Basic but not horribly so (I think) so rather than sit with some litmus paper for lord knows how long to make things exact I figured I'd just add the mathematical amount required to get water to that level since the experiment is more about what is observable. That said How much Citric acid (Dry white crystalline powder) do I add to make 1 gallon of water 3.5 pH? To make 5 gallons I would just multiply that number by 5, yes? Thank you.

Best Place to Commune With Nature (2003)
L.B. Houston Nature Trail
It's not, strictly speaking, a scenic wonderland. But this is North Texas, so you probably already knew that. If you want your nature tamed, try the Dallas Arboretum. L.B. Houston offers a narrow dirt track winding roughly four miles through wooded Trinity River bottomland. What will you see? The backsides of a bunch of trees, the river, brush and the occasional squirrel, turtle or water moccasin. You know, nature. Don't worry about the snakes, though. Just keep your eyes open for the bicyclists, because this trail is popular with what we laughingly call "mountain" bike riders. In North Texas. Snort.

Diamond's Family Star
Diamond's innovative, four-place Star offers performance and efficiency beyond its price
For 2012, the Star delivers performance that's well ahead of any other production airplane with fixed gear and the same power. The Power Flow-tuned exhaust, standard on all Stars, contributes perhaps two to three knots of cruise all by itself (and that's not a pipe dream. I installed a Power Flow system on my Mooney seven years ago, and the result was an instant three-knot speed increase.)
California Flying
For this evaluation, Mike Fabianiac of Kansas City Aviation Center (KCAC-West), the new Diamond distributor for California and 10 other states, arranged for a new Star to be delivered to Angel City Flyers on Long Beach Airport in Southern California. Angel City is a Diamond Flight Center with Stars and Twin Stars on its flight line. KCAC-West is in the process of establishing two sales and maintenance centers on the West Coast, one in Hayward and the other in Long Beach.
My Star demonstrator for the day was a ferry-time-only XLS with pretty much everything on the option list installed. From the outside looking in, the Star appears almost dainty, with its carefully upturned wing tips, waspish empennage and T-tail. Don't let the airplane's delicate countenance fool you, though. The DA-40 is a tough, carbon-fiber machine, enclosing a 26G passenger safety cell.
In combination with aluminum fuel cells encased between two tough composite spars and airbag seatbelts, the Star enjoys the lowest fatal-accident rate of any general aviation airplane in the industry, .16/100,000 hours. That's about an eighth of the industry standard. Post-crash fires are nearly unheard of in Diamond's models, and there's no record at all of inflight structural failures.
To the numbers. My fully equipped test airplane had an empty weight of 1,860 pounds against a gross of 2,645 pounds (that's 1,200 kg in Euro-speak). This left a useful load of 785 pounds or a payload of 485 pounds with a full 50-gallon service of fuel. That's fairly typical of modern four-seaters, two big passengers plus golf clubs or three standard folks with toothbrushes.
Climbing into a Star XLS is a little different than boarding most low-wing airplanes in that everyone boards from the front. You unlatch the canopy and rotate it up and forward, exposing both front buckets and boarding assist handgrips atop the panel. There's a fixed step just behind the engine cowling, so you climb up onto the wing over the leading edge rather than across the flap. Those relegated to the rear are hardly second-class citizens, as they have their own gull-wing door on the pilot's side, hinged on the roof and totally separate from the front hatch.

Debating a friend of mine made me ask myself how we might figure out who is right? His position is basically, if you are black and a white person treats you badly, you can't prove that's racism — maybe the white guy is just a jerk to everyone.
Why It Matters That the Confederate Flag Comes Down Today
Today, one Confederate flag comes down. Here's one reason that matters.
[Here are some of my Southern credentials, in case you care: one ancestor was a City Engineer in Columbia a generation after the Civil War, who partnered with one of the architects of the South Carolina Statehouse over which that flag has flown for fifty years. Both of my parents grew up in small Southern towns, themselves raised by parents who grew up in the South, and so on back through the generations on both sides. Several generations of LaMottes were born, lived, and died in Columbia. There are many things about the South that I love and I live here now, although some say Asheville doesn't count.]
The flag is part of a legacy in multiple ways. One legacy is what I'm calling the "It doesn't matter . . ." legacy.
During slavery, white Americans said, "We have a right to own slaves and to be free of federal interference, and it doesn't matter what effect being sold as property, being abused like beasts, being dehumanized has on African Americans. Black pain doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what people of conviction elsewhere, or even other Southerners, think about it. It doesn't matter whether it tears the country apart." The law and the authorities endorsed this position.
During Reconstruction and Jim Crow, white Americans said, "We have a right to protect our way of life and protect ourselves, and it doesn't matter what effects the KKK, the terrorism of lynching, and convict leasing systems have on African Americans." Black pain doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what people of conviction elsewhere or in the South think about it. And the law and the authorities endorsed this position.
During the Civil Rights Era, white Southerners said, "We have a right to live in the nicer neighborhoods by ourselves, go to the better schools by ourselves, patronize restaurants and motels by ourselves, and it doesn't matter how African-Americans are held down and humiliated. Black pain just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how others see this." And the law and authorities endorsed this position.
In these days, and not just in the South, we have racist drug policies, and are over-incarcerating young black men. In our names, law enforcement officers are militarizing and over-using force in neighborhoods of color. The killer of a white person is many times more likely to get the death penalty than one who kills a black person. And white voices are saying, "Our streets and our officers must be safe at any cost, and it doesn't matter how this affects African Americans." Black pain just doesn't matter. And the law and the authorities endorse this position.
This week, many white Southerners are saying, "The Confederate flag stands for heritage, not hate." OK, maybe it's not hate on your part, but it is part of this continuing legacy of indifference to the pain of African Americans. It's still, "We have a right, and black pain doesn't matter." It is, "We have a right to define the flag's meaning, and it doesn't matter that what it means to African Americans is that they stand in a legacy of pain and injustice that continues to this day, and that it is not some few racists but the government itself that proudly flies it. It doesn't matter that the rest of the world sees it this way, as well. Our rights and perspectives are the only ones that matter."
Today, that flag comes down, despite vocal resistance by some white Southerners. No, it doesn't solve everything, and that flag will continue to fly high from personal vehicles and yards (free speech). But from now on, the government itself won't fly it. At least this week, the law and the authorities in a southern state acknowledged black pain and did the right thing – on their own, without a federal act or Supreme Court interference – and that matters a great deal.
Death Penalty – Hidden Costs
Just having the death penalty as an option has costs, even when we don't impose it.
Mass Incarceration & Reintegration After Release
We're locking up lots of people who will eventually get out.
Bad Apple Narratives
In the wake of multiple killings of unarmed black men by police, our public discourse has moved from Denial to what I call the "Bad Apple" phase.
If we're going to find real and lasting solutions, we're going to have to move the conversation forward into the next phase, in which we can have honest conversations about the patterns and systemic forces at work.
What I'm suggesting here is the tiniest step we can take in that direction, but I think it's necessary one. And it's something we can all do as we consume news and have discussions, which is to pay attention to the narratives in which we and others operate.
Can This Death Penalty Be Saved? – Death Qualification
In capital cases, there is a rule that people who can't impose the death penalty can't sit on the jury. This rule was established when opposition to the death penalty was an outlier position, so disqualifying opponents seemed like no big deal.
For the last couple of decades, however, opposition to the death penalty has been steadily rising. More and more people are disqualified.
Do you see where this is heading?
Here's a 2-minute video:
Jury Selection in Chapel Hill Muslim Killings Will Be Interesting
In the last couple of weeks, I've had no time to comment on the interesting things in the news. So, catching up a bit here.
Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against the man accused of Chapel Hill, NC shootings of three Muslim students.
This means the State will be looking for jurors who are sympathetic to Muslims but are also pro-death penalty.
Does anyone else think that will be an interesting group?
All Those Appeals Don't Prove He's Guilty
Death penalty appeals are enormously expensive and take years if not decades. They frustrate the victim's family, witnesses, law enforcement, and prosecutors. And for what? They don't ensure that we got it right.
An inmate usually cannot appeal on the basis that he is innocent. Appeals are based on errors. One might think that convicting the innocent is, by definition, error. One would be wrong.
In a jury trial, the jury decides which witnesses are telling the truth and who did what. They do this in secret deliberations. If their conclusion is wrong, that can't be fixed unless there is also a legal error. Legal errors include a judge ruling contrary to law, a prosecutor hiding evidence, or a defense attorney failing to provide minimal representation.
Even if there is such an error, the inmate usually must also show that, without it, the jury would likely have reached a different verdict, an argument that is difficult to win, since no one knows how they reached the first one. In many cases, errors exist but don't legally matter.
We have the idea that these appeal courts go through the case again, making sure the jury made the right decision. Not so.
Fighting for Strategic Advantage
Last week a federal judge resigned in frustration from a presidential commission on forensic science. That commission is charged with recommending improvements in the criminal justice system's use of forensic evidence.
I'm not going to go deep into why this commission's work is so important. Just this: DNA exonerations have shown us not only that the criminal justice system fails, but also some of how it fails. One of the badly broken bits is forensics.
To fix this, we may need better rules of evidence, but we will surely need better adversarial testing, which requires good disclosure of what and who and how. Put simply, not knowing in advance makes it very difficult to prepare to counter the evidence, especially when that evidence requires or purports to require some scientific understanding. And anyone saying, "It's a match!" can sway a jury, regardless of the validity of the claim.
"Discovery" is the legal process by which evidence is disclosed before trial begins. For some reason, the discovery rules require much more pre-trial disclosure in civil law (where corporations and other businesses are often defendants) than in criminal cases. If the rules allow withholding, then withholding we shall have, and the results will be less reliable.
The details are in Judge Rakoff's letter, but the bottom line here is that the Deputy Attorney General of the US DOJ decided that examining the discovery rules was off-limits for the commission.
Judge Rakoff then publicly resigned, stating his opinion that the unilateral decision was a mistake reflecting "a determination by the Department of Justice to place strategic advantage over a search for the truth." This is the heart of the issue.
I'm often frustrated by what I see as typical prosecutorial bullying, and it's easy to jump to that lens. The more important lens here, however, is that of power over the process. We must learn to differentiate the times when the government fights to win a case, which is reasonable in our system, from the times it fights for advantage in the process, which is an outrage. Our system is, by design, an adversarial one, and in such a system, the parties are necessarily going to fight to win, rather than to seek the truth. We should not expect otherwise.
No defense lawyer worth her salt will (or should) simply go sit at the prosecution table if she believes her client to be guilty. Because it is her role in the system, she will fight to force the State to prove every bit of its case within the rules. She may well advise her client (guilty or not) to accept a plea agreement. If there is a "technicality"in her client's favor (e.g., the police conducted an illegal search), she will fight to keep evidence out. And if the jury is not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, yes, a guilty person may go free.
That is a danger, but there is a worse one: that an innocent person may be convicted. This danger is real, as the parade of recent exonerations reminds us. [And yes, that outcome is objectively worse, because it's a two-fer: every time it happens, a guilty person also goes free.]
Personally, I think it's a rare prosecutor who intentionally convicts the innocent, but it's not at all rare for a police officer or a prosecutor to be prematurely and stubbornly wrong about who is guilty. This overconfidence incentivizes walking as closely as possible to (and occasionally stepping over, especially if there are no consequences) every line. Regardless of the State's high calling to seek justice rather than success, an individual prosecutor in an individual case—having decided to prosecute—will understandably fight like the devil to win.
The only thing that keeps this from being a free-for-all in which the more powerful side (the government) always wins is the process, the rules which protect the right to a fair trial—the defendant's right: the defendant is the only party with constitutional rights. The founders knew which way the system would go if not carefully constrained. The rules are there to restrain the government.
The jury and judge are really the only truth-seekers, and the process is the only thing that protects their ability to find it. Everything depends on the process being scrupulously fair to the defendant.
So we must pay careful attention when the government attempts to protect or create a strategic advantage. We must notice when the government tries to use its considerable power to protect its considerable power. There's a difference between fighting to win and fighting the ones who try to level the field.
The day after Judge Rakoff's widely-circulated resignation letter, the DOJ relented, blaming the decision on a prior office-holder. It is not clear what effect the publicity had, but the DOJ will no longer refuse to consider the commission's recommendations on their merits.
This doesn't mean they will be accepted. We would do well to pay attention when the time comes.

Rain-fed farms in southern Sonora, Mexico have long relied on the use of genetically diverse, drought-adapted crops. In recent decades, however, prolonged drought, competition with large-scale commercial agriculture, and the pressures of increasingly export-oriented agricultural markets encouraged by the North American Free-Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have severely impacted farmers' practices and production capacity. The objectives of this research are to: (1) assess the persistence and/or disappearance of genetically diverse, native crops on small-scale farms in the region; and (2) identify relationships between patterns of crop persistence/disappearance and broader economic, environmental, and demographic factors.Approach:
Research objectives will be pursued using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. Baseline data maintained by the Tucson-based seed bank, Native Seeds/SEARCH, will be coupled with ethnographic accounts of local farming history to establish the previous extent of crop diversity in southern Sonora. Subsequently, crop persistence and disappearance on a regional level will be explored using quantitatively analyzed surveys and semi-structured interviews. To explore patterns in the dynamics of crop diversity change, regional-level data will be supplemented by an indepth exploration of farming practices, demographic change, and crop persistence on a community scale. Data will be gathered using a combination of indepth surveys, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation. Salient questions to be addressed include:
● How do changes in rainfall patterns affect crop maintenance or loss?
● Do economic factors, such as government-sponsored aid packages or variable sale prices of crops, influence an individual's ability to perpetuate a diverse array of crops?
The goals of this project are to develop an indepth understanding of the forces that maintain and threaten crop genetic diversity on small-scale farms and to generate recommendations to inform future national and international agricultural policy initiatives.Supplemental Keywords:

Longtime fans of Monroe's Children of the Moon novels will be transported to a familiar world in this fifth installment, but newcomers may find it difficult to suspend disbelief and comprehend the characters' motivations. While the paranormal elements are handled well, the protagonists' constant bickering seems at odds with the quick lust that ignites between them. Readers may find the long, drawn-out path to forgiveness and trust overrides the many intriguing aspects of the story.
Six years ago, Caelis, a Chrechte shapeshifting wolf, abandoned his life mate, Shona, not believing she carried his child. Her father coerced Shona into marrying an English baron. Now that he is dead, she heads to Balmoral in order to protect her children from a heartless enemy. Fate brings her to an isolated castle and Caelis. It is their destiny to defeat the corrupt and dangerous Chrechte leader. Shona has to learn to trust and forgive Caelis before they can save their clan and his people.

Thermo Fisher Scientific: System combines checkweighing with coding, verification
Designed for pharmaceutical and other products, Thermo Scientific's Versa RxV checkweigher is an all-in-one high-speed system (up to 550 bottles/cartons per minute) that combines code printing and verification (alpha-numeric and machine readable) with checkweighing, saving both cost and space.
With the Versa RxV, manufacturers are able to select which code printer and vision system brand is added to the checkweigher frame. The modular build means that pharma companies can specify the exact components they prefer. The Versa RxV uses a single operator interface. Instead of mounting separate user interfaces for the checkweigher, code printer and machine vision system, control of all functions are combined into one screen. This significantly improves ease-of-operation and saves valuable line space.
A single brushless motor mounted in the back of the enclosed cabinet minimizes mechanical vibration while powering the infeed, weigh table and outfeed conveyors. The "knife-edge" belt design provides quality product handling when products travel from the infeed conveyor onto the weigh table at high speeds. Both of these design features improve checkweighing accuracy.
Side belts with horizontal and vertical adjustment ensure the correct position of the bottle or carton during marking and verification. The checkweigher also features two reject mechanisms—one for packages rejected by the vision system due to illegible or incorrect codes and the other for over/under weights.

Page Yield
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

Warfare have always been one of my favorite UK heavy metal bands, so naturally I assumed that anything they touch would be ...well, I was going to say Pure Filth and get added points for using a metal reference, but no...Pure Filth is GOOD! . . . Hammer Horror is NOT!
I picked this up with geat expectations. But even a person who has never heard any Warfare material should still avoid this one:
So this album is basically and conceptually about horror and vampires and castles and demons and all that other shits. Well, I guess...not a bad idea, right? It's just how you make of it - the introduction isn't really grasping or mind-blowing. Usually an introduction is supposed to be like an introduction to a paragraph in an essay or what have you - it's supposed to grab ahold of the reader and suck them in! Or..in this case, the listener. Bottom line, I knew I was in for a dull ride.
Ta-ha! Well, I do have to admit this here, and this is why this album gets most of the points it does get. The first tune, "Baron Frankenstein" is pretty fuckin' sweet. Despite its obvious Venom worship, it still is pretty rad. Great guitar riff, good vocals, it doesn't completely win because it uses samples and I've never been a big fan of sampling. >_>...
After being tapped on the balls a little vigorously from Baron Frankenstein, the album takes a 360 turn and the next song, "A Velvet Rhapsody", made me scratch my head and ponder. Is this a joke? What is it? It sounds like Opeth (gone worse) mixed with Enya. What in the hell!? * fart noises * by the way, this album is chopped pack with lame gay faggy ballads. Boooo!
So while I was trying not to fall asleep during, it finished thankfully and moved onto "Scream of the Vampire pt. 1" Now, I've never really been too keen on cheesy spoken Metal lyrics...Manowar can barely pull it off, because, well, they're fuckin' Manowar! but this is Warfare. The two just can't compare at all. Anyhow, it's moderately catchy the same way that Celtic Frost did "Mexican Radio" cover. Yeah, it's semi-good, but at the same time, it's grossly unmetal. It has a decent guitar riff, but for the most part, is pretty sucktastic.
Next track is "Vlad the Impaler." For those who know the story of Vlad, you know that shit is pretty fuckin' Metal. I mean, he's inspirted countless bands (granted most are inarguably shitty black metal bands lolol, I digress...) so just by looking at the song title I thought it'd be good. ..WRONG! BBBZZZTTT! * yawn * another snoozer interlude shit-type thing. Not sure what Warfare are tryin' to do here, all I know is that they would probably make good videogame music. Like Resident Evil or something. Anyhow,
As if I didn't get enough anguish from "Scream of the Vampire pt. 1", but then they have to go and make another one! WHYYY!? And to top it all off, the second part is worse than the first! Nooo! There's a ton of sample usage from what sounds like some old-ass B-grade horror flick; I could be wrong, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that samples suck in Metal, and no matter how many Screams of the Vampre are made, they will all suck. Period.
Oh...my....fuck god. ANOTHER dolorous and yawn-inspiring interlude thingey. I'm not sure if all of these ballad deals are added to the album information for "Hammer Horror", but they're there. Maybe a re-release or some shit. I don't know. Maybe some user realized that they aren't worth the hair on his chinny-chin chin. But what I'm tryin' to say is, why are there so many godamn stupid interlude ballad thingeys? They all sound like bad drone doom dirges, except done wrong - and I honestly think I would have fallen asleep here and now had it not been for my girlfriend walking through the house in tiny hot pink shorts. Yow oww!! Hah!
* cough * anyways...
We arrive to the title track now, which is only 2 minutes long. Usually title tracks are longer, but eh...whatever... Also, usually title tracks are the best song on the album. But in this case, it clearly isn't. Nearly reaching tears of boredom and dismay at my waste of money, this is just another 2 minute borecore intermission that frankly, made me want to shove a hand grenade suppository up my anus.
Warfare have a tendency to make people sleepy, and then perk them up with a fast song, or visa versa. The next track isn't too shabby. It's entitled "Plague of the Zombies." Once again, it's pretty big Venom worship. Not done too well, granted, but surely a hell of a lot better than the copious amount of random-assed ballads on this release. It has decent and catchy guitar riffs in it, and I dig the vocals (probably and mostly because they remind me of Venom). I don't like how in parts of it, the clean vocals come in and it is reminiscent of Celtic Frosts' "Cold Lake" Overall, not a bad tune. But not a great one.
Next song "Ballad of the Dead" ........more like, BALLAD OF THE SUCK! HAH! I'm so clever and witty. Oh ho ho. Next.
Dear lord, as if things weren't already bad enough, the next song "A Solo of Shadows" actually made me laugh out loud and exclaim "What the FUCK!?" it has some Agalloch-like spoken vocals...with pretty lame accompanied lyrics, might I add, and cheesy synth keyboard shit and ambient background noises. Shit sounds like...oh my god I can't even think of a good analogy. I'd say Enya but I already said that earlier. Oh, what the hell. Shit sounds like horrible Enya mixed with beatnick cafe type vocals/lyrics, with bad videogame sounding instrumental. Crap on that.
I sighed and listened to the next song, "Prince of Darkness." He's referring to Count Dracula, by the way. Admittingly, it has some moderately okay tremolo picking and some alright guitar riffs...but all of that doesn't compensate for the prevailing sucky vocals (or lackthereof). It sounds like Depeche Mode or the Cure or some shit. Seriously. And the icing on the cake is more usage of sampling, but hey, what's new with this album, right. Gah...
If I wanted to listen to Venom done right, I'd listen to Exorcist or something, not this. I mean, yeah, I don't so much mind the vocals too much when they aren't softly spoken of whispered, but it's because it sounds a lot like Cronos. I'll be embaressed if it really is or some shit and I didn't know that. Then again, this was released in 1990, and Mantas on guitars (I think? yeah.. maybe he was the one trying to make Paul sound like Cronos. wtf) Anyhow - Mantas does his work on guitar and almost pulls it off. But not quite. You know what can ruin even the best guitar riff, or solo, or metal song in general? The answer - a saxophone. Like this song, "Tales of a Gothic Genre" has. Instant fail.
Progressing to the end, we reach "Dance of the Dead." I guess a positive thing I can say so far is that there hasn't been a weak pussy ballad for a little while. But that doesn't matter. This song isn't too shabby, but it's like I said, the overall tone of every moderately okay song on this album is because 1.) Manatas on guitar 2.) Venom-like vocals soo....hell, it's an alright song but it's not as good as the worst song on Welcome to Hell, or Black Metal.
I should have known I was in for trouble when the last track, (finally, shit...) "Phantom of the Opera (Hammer House of Horror Mix)" came on. As if the song title isn't bad enough, outrageously terrible alliteration and all, the song is a little over 7 minutes (longest song on the album) and is jam-packed with an extra serving of "suck." More spoken vocals, rolled R's, synthy crap, ambient horror, and...the coup de grace...SINGING FEMALE VOCALS! Yes, they are singing a duet sounding thing at parts of this song, and it made me cringe. Now, I have nothing against female vocals, but only when they're females that actually sound tough and agressive and metal - not shitty singing Mariah Carey-like vocals. Oh my god.. If you make it through this entire song, or even album, without killing yourself, congratulations. You have a strong tolerance for pain, you glutton for punishment you.
Now, I really like Warfare. A lot. But only their good and early releases like "Pure Filth", or "Metal Anarchy", or even "Mayhem, Fuckin' Mayhem" - but this is just shit, pure shit. Seriously. I'd like to even be able to bump up the rating for its cover art, but alas, that fails too. I ...guess? I don't give it a 30 because, hell, I have to give some kudos for production. But that's besides anything. If it had shitty production, it wouldn't make much of a difference. It might even make it sound more gritty, raw, and metal. Which this album is the opposite of. The bottom line of "Hammer Horror" is this, folks:
If you want to hear maybe three decent sounding Venom-like songs, then by all means, go out and hunt for this album. Or...if you're a die-hard "Omg, I'm guna cum my pants for every single Warfare album ever made!!1" buy this. For for those of you who know the difference between pure unadulterated metal, and a shitty unmetal "Cold Lake" sounding rip-off album (who wants to clone Cold Lake anyways, my god! Apparently Warfare. Christ... ) - you'll know now that when I say what I've been saying, it's the truth. Cheesy Venom worship and good production doesn't save this one, it doesn't even hide the blatent fact that this album blows cock. Period. Last words of advise: buy earlier Warfare albums, avoid this, throw on your copy of Welcome to Hell or something, or even so...settle for good sounding Venom clones. Also, a P.S. note - Cold Lake still sucks, but not as bad as this album.

First results are in, mostly the more-conservative absentees, and even so, there are some surprises. Leland Yee is way, way ahead in the state senate races, 66 percent to 27 percent (although part of the district is in San Mateo, so Yee can't quite celebrate yet.
Fiona Ma is well up on Janet Reilly, 58-41.
In the governor's race, Angelides and Westly are close, but Angelides is ahead, 47-44 percent. Remember, this is among absentees. I'd say that a good sign of Angelides taking San Francisco easily -- let's see what it means for the rest of the state.

Intel, Nvidia emerges as winners in Q3
Overall graphics shipments rose 1.6 percent in the third quarter of 2013, marking the second consecutive quarter of positive growth, according to the latest data by Jon Peddie Research. At the same time, shipments in Q3 were down 8.8 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago, JPR said. Q3 is typically when retailers stock up inventory for the holiday shopping season, and though the gain this quarter was smaller than in pre-2008 years, it still ended on a positive note.
The three major players are AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. AMD's overall unit shipments decreased 4.2 percent sequentially, while Intel and Nvidia gained 3.5 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively.
Total discrete GPU (desktop and notebook) shipments were mostly flat from last quarter with a negligible gain of 0.12 percent, and down 18.8 percent from the same quarter a year ago due to "problems plaguing the overall PC industry," JPR said. Overall, discrete GPU shipments are trending downwards with a CAGR from 2012 to 2016 of -5.7 percent.
All tallied, Intel now holds a 63 percent share of the GPU market, versus 61.8 percent a quarter ago and 60 percent last year. AMD is in a distant second with a 20.7 percent share, down from 22 percent last quarter and down from 21 percent last year. In third place is Nvidia with a 16.3 percent, virtually unchanged from last quarter (16.2 percent) and down from 18.6 percent a year ago.

One of radio's rap pioneers, Mr. Magic, has signed off for good.
MTV News reports that rap the DJ, born John Rivas, died of heart attack Friday. There is no word on how old her was at the time of his passing.
According to AllHipHop.com, Mr. Magic made his radio debut in 1979 with "The Mr. Magic Disco Showcase." By 1983 he'd begun enchanting New York listeners with his hit show, "Mr. Magic's Rap Attack," which was so beloved that Notorious B.I.G. put it in his song "Juicy." He hosted the show with DJ Marley Marl and Tyrone "Fly Ty" Williams.
But he did more than just spin records, he created them as part of the Juice Crew. The group included members like Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane and Roxanne Shante.
For those that don't recognize him from his illustrious career, you may have spotted him in 2002's Grand Theft Autio. He was featured in the game as the DJ of Wildstyle Pirate Radio.

Wok Basics
choose from!
Although the same cooking techniques can be performed in all woks, not all woks are the same. Woks vary in size, in shape, in the materials used to make them, and in the accessories packaged with them.
The classic round-bottom wok: a wok with a ring stand needed to support it, is appropriate for use on a gas range, but is not recommended for an electric range. For use on a gas range, place the ring stand over the largest burner with the narrow side up. This way the wok is elevated over the hottest part of the flame.
The flat-bottom wok: or stir-fry pan, which is well-suited for electric or gas ranges, is a variation of the classic design. The flat bottom allows the pan to sit directly on the heating element; no ring stand is needed. Even though they look the same and are used in the same manner, a flat-bottom wok is usually sold with a lid, while a stir-fry pan is not. You may purchase lids separately in most cookware shops or oriental markets.
The electric wok: and portability go hand in hand. With an electric wok, you can cook at the table, the counter, or almost anywhere you wish. However, because the wok's thermostat cycles on and off, the food may take a little longer to cook.
