The Amanda Knox case and the politics of extradition law
In this article, first published on the Halsbury's Law Exchange blog, Merry Neal breaks down the latest developments in the increasingly complex Amanda Knox case
In this article, first published on the Halsbury's Law Exchange blog, Merry Neal breaks down developments in the increasingly complex Amanda Knox case
Late last month the Florence appeals court found Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito guilty of the murder of Meredith Kercher in a unanimous verdict. Adding to the considerable drama of this case, Sollecito was subsequently apprehended close to the border of Austria, although he denies that he was attempting to flee.
The pair were sentenced to 28 years and six months, and 25 years imprisonment respectively. Knox received a higher sentence as she was additionally found guilty of falsely accusing Patrick Lumumba of the crime.
History of the Italian proceedings
Knox and Sollecito were originally convicted of the murder of Kercher in 2009, and were detained in Italian prisons. The conviction was quashed in 2011 due to evidential problems identified with the original trial. The Supreme Court then ordered a retrial in March 2013, stating that the jury which acquitted the pair had not considered all the evidence.
So far, so confusing.
Reasons for reinstating the convictions
The judge who reinstated the murder convictions, Alessandro Nencini, President of the Florence appeals court, stated publicly on 1 February that the court had established a motivation for the murder. The full details of the reasoning will be given in a written judgment which must be published within 90 days. The judge stated, "There were coincidences and on this we have developed our reasoning. We realise that this will be the most controversial part". Both Knox and Sollecito's lawyers have criticised the judge for commenting publicly on the case so shortly after the verdict, claiming that his comments demonstrate prejudice.
Extradition - what happens next?
Knox now potentially faces a battle on two fronts: in both the Italian and the American courts.
The verdict will not be finalised until it is approved by the Supreme Court of Cassation. If the verdict is upheld, it would be the usual procedure for Italy to request Knox's extradition. Any such request would be made by the Italian Embassy in Washington DC to the US State Department. From there it would be sent to the Department of Justice and, if deemed appropriate, it would be passed to the local US Attorney's office. At this point Knox would be liable to be held in a federal detention centre for the duration of her extradition battle. She would be entitled to a hearing before a district judge at which she would inevitably seek bail - however, in a case such as this where she has been found guilty of murder, it would be the policy of the US Government's lawyers to object to bail.
On what grounds could she fight extradition?
Knox could not avail herself of any of the prohibitions on extradition under the Italian/American Extradition Treaty. None of the caveats or discretions detailed in Arts 5 to 9 of the Treaty apply to her case. It is also made clear under Art 4 of the Treaty that extradition should not be denied on the ground that the requested person is a US national.
Knox could try to argue that the Italian trial was not fair, and that there was no sound basis for the conviction; the ill-advised comments of Judge Nencini may be helpful in this regard. There is, however, strong circumstantial evidence against Knox - despite what some aspects of the media would have you believe.
Generally, however, it is not for the US courts to review the prosecution case in its entirety. All that established US extradition law requires is that the Italians provide a summary of the facts and evidence against Knox which shows a "reasonable basis to believe" that she committed the offence. It is likely that the evidence against Knox would pass this low bar.
Knox may attempt to argue a constitutional point of law to the US appellate court. Many commentators have focused on an objection based on the American prohibition on 'double jeopardy', but that is not quite the case here. Rather, Knox was found guilty at the first trial, but that verdict was not finalised, so a re-trial was ordered, at which she has again been found guilty.
Who has the final say?
If Knox were to fail in the courts, the battle would not be completely over. The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, will have the final say. He retains the power to intervene in an individual case and stay an extradition at his discretion. A similar discretion was removed in the UK by the Extradition Act 2003. Prior to 2003, the Home Secretary had a general discretion to block extradition, perhaps used most famously by Jack Straw in the case of Augusto Pinochet.
Yet the Home Secretary still retained an effective discretion post-2003, thanks to the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA). All ministers are bound by the HRA, so the Home Secretary could intervene to stop an extradition if that extradition would breach the human rights of a requested person. This was the power used by Theresa May to block Gary McKinnon's extradition to the US in 2012, on the grounds that, due to his Asperger's syndrome, it would be a breach of his rights under Art 3 ECHR if he were to be extradited. As a result of that decision - and of criticism of Ms May's decision not to use the power to block the extradition of Syed Talha Ahsan, who also suffered from Asperger's - this discretion has now been transferred to the courts (see Part 2 of Sch 20 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013), relieving the Home Secretary of taking a decision which is perceived as having being influenced by political considerations.
The politics of extradition
Extradition law is a unique beast. It is one area of law in which political concerns are not only present, but are inherent in its nature. Any extradition request will involve an analysis of the requesting state's criminal justice and penal system - the point being that a person should not be sent to a country where they cannot have a fair trial, or where they will be held in inhumane conditions.
This principle works both ways, however. If two countries have an extradition treaty, it is a way of declaring that it is deemed safe to extradite fugitives to each other's country. Italy and America have had such a treaty since 1984. In this way, compliance with extradition requests demonstrates reciprocity between countries and is an important part of diplomatic relations. It is for this reason that there is always the possibility of the imposition of political pressure when it comes to extradition cases.
America, and the American media, must tread carefully in the Knox case. There has been much criticism of the Italian criminal justice system, with US commentators clamouring for any future extradition request to be refused. This would, however, be a grave insult to the Italians. The Italian system is a legitimate one - the same system which tries and convicts Mafia criminals on a regular basis. Unless there is a sound legal basis on which to refuse extradition, the default position is that America should accede to the request. America has refused Italian extradition requests before, however, for example in the Abu Omar case (albeit that this case involved extraordinary rendition and the involvement of state agents, so it is perhaps not surprising that the Americans did not accede to that particular request).
Watch this space
America is infamous for taking a hard line when it plays the part of the requesting state - look at Edward Snowden, Richard O'Dwyer and Roman Polanski - so it will not lend credibility to their extradition demands if they do not cooperate with Italy in the Knox debacle. If her conviction is finalised, Knox will take her fight as far as she is able through the American courts.
One thing is sure - the unique circumstances of Ms Knox's case would provide ample material for a team of talented and creative defence lawyers to seek to block or delay extradition. And once those routes are exhausted, it is more a matter of politics.

Unfortunately I am unable to download patch from Gamefront... after download suppose to start im getting 403 error - forbidden. Any alternate sites for patch ? Game is unplayable for me at the moment due to "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" error.
The same for me, unfortunately.
Hi zacarias, download the 1.06 patch here:
Then 1.07 here:
Desura hasn't made live the fixed patch yet. Install notes in the forum.
Try going to the patch link from here:
Also disable any download resumers or anything, just use the browser.
Tried that link before, same story. Not using any download managers, just pure browser. Tested on Opera and IE. Not really sure what seems to be the problem... Thats the final link im getting:
But thats still 403 - Forbidden...
Any1 more savvy could help ?
Hi, sent you a msg Azrael.
All is fine, thank your your assistance! Awesome customer support I must say :) Game is awesome, I am gonna advertise it far and wide :)
Thank you Azrael. For anyone wondering, I was able to give Azrael an alternate link for the correct patch. Since the current 1.05 one on Desura is missing files. 1.07 full has been uploaded but again awaiting Desura authorization, if they don't break it again :)
I love Desura, but trust me they have a very needlessly complex way of delivering updates etc.
I think I am going to find permanant file hosting, and just let new customers download 1.07 from Desura and get all their updates from my website.
of course the updates will be on Desura too, just for anyone who wants them immediately, they'll be on the website.
Just updated to 1.05.
Issue 1. My monitor resolution is not on the list (1600X900) when i try to run the game in another resolution fullscreen it just crashes. I can run it windowed at a lower resolution.
Issue 2. A couple of minutes after I undock, the game will always crash with an ""EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" .
Hi lou, your resolution is there, scroll down the drop down box to the bottom
1600*900 (16:9)
Hi Lou, I spoke on issue #2 in reply to sonics post.
Issue #1 I thought I had 1600*900 on the list. I'll put it in if not, it should* be there.
However, just click full screen, then click auto detect, a label will appear telling you what resolution is detected. Launch game (basically ignore the list in your case)
Hi, If i click auto detect and launch, i get a black screen with music.
me too ----> issue 2..
I am aware of issue 2...it was a bad application of the patch by Desura, they left out (somewhow) explosion files. So whenever combat occurs, whether near you or not, these files are missing. Upgrading to 1.06 here: Gamefront.com
should fix that issue.
Sorry about that, please report back on issue #2 after you have applied the 1.06 patch.
Remember that from 1.0 on all saved games are compatible.
Hi everyone, something I overlooked. Before you patch, backup your save folder and restore it after the patch. I will no longer include the save folder in future patches, it does not need updating.
So if you have a saved game you want to keep post version 1.0, back up your save folder, patch the game, then replace the save folder with your backup.
Highest Rated (2 agree) 8/10
Someone rated this a ONE?! You HAVE to be kidding. I think that Desura needs to have a requirement for writing an actual review if someone rates a game so low; we are required to write them when we award a TEN.
Anyhow, I give this very good game an "8" because this isn't the full game. It does crash a bit, but, the potential is there for something very special. The developer has been patching and working on content additions.
Keep up the good work!

"come prepared for it all" Top 5 Page for this destination Olympic National Park Packing List Tip by richiecdisc
Olympic National Park What to Pack: 1 reviews and 2 photos
Luggage and bags: Olympic is a premier wilderness park and this is one place you can truly use a backpack to carry all you need for a multi-day camping trip. For those not so inclined a simple day pack will suffice for long beach walks or even shorter ones in the rain forest and alpine areas.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Pack layers of synthetic clothing for the highly changeable weather that is Olympic. The Pacific is cold and even on warm days, the breezes are cool. If it fogs up, the temperatures drop quickly. It can snow in alpine areas even in the summer so always carry warm gear including a warm hat. Sturdy water proof hiking boots are needed for all but the shortest beach walks and don't scrimp on socks. Your feet will thank you for it. Rain gear is essential in a park that gets 200 inches a year of precipitation. It is, after all, a rain forest in much of the area.
Photo Equipment: A wide angle is great for bringing the foreground into your landscape photos and a zoom is like gold for shots of wildlife. Get one with image stabilization for less than optimal lighting. A tripod is needed for low light shots in the rain forest and for cute couple shots.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: This is a great park for camping. Bring a tent, synthetic sleeping bags, mats and a backpacking stove.
Miscellaneous: Someone to share that half gallon of Tillamook ice cream with. No matter how much you backpack, you really shouldn't eat it all by yourself!

I went to the doctors on wednesday I should have beenĀ9 weeks but the doctor said that I have a missed miscarriage. I know this is true because the week before they saw the yolk sac and a pole. (They thought I was earlier than I was)Āand this week there is nothing in the gestational sac except for particles. So something should be there.
I was wondering how long I should wait. I feel terrible not bleeding.Its mostly emotional.
Is there anyone out there with a missed miscarriage. I really need support and would love to know how you handled the situation medically (waited, misopropil or d&c).
Thank you so much.

Shwayze mimics his actions before, after and (surprisingly) not during the show.
Where: El Corazón
When: Tuesday, December 2
About halfway through the show, Shwayze sidekick Cisco Adler made a revelation: "This song is about smokin' weed and makin' love -- what else is there?"
That offhand statement perfectly defines Shwayze. Most of the time the duo raps about girls and weed, but their lighthearted SoCal vibe is upbeat and a very welcome break from the drizzle of a Seattle winter.
Unfortunately, the audience didn't get the message; I decided to leave the pit when the girl directly to my right got rocked with a fist to the face. That was (at least) the third fight of the night, a statistic that might've had something to do with the impressive state of inebriation of the crowd. But that state was matched by the performers, so life -- and the show -- went on.
Shwayze and Adler covered almost all of the self-titled debut album, and played some tracks off the new Rich Girls Mixtape (available for free here) including a pretty sick cut laid out over Tegan and Sara's "Walking With A Ghost" guitar riff called "Boomerang" that I highly recommend.
All in all, the kid can flow. Though the trio might live up their goofy image and the rock star life of booze and groupies, there's undeniably a whole lot of musical talent under the surface.

Chroma: the Greek word for 'colour,' and an important part of how the human eye perceives our surroundings.
Colour derives from the spectrum of light interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Specifications of colour are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties - such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
Different colours often have meanings - red hues can signify danger or passion, whilst green / blue hues represent calmness. For this book, the colours of familiar landscapes have been altered digitally from their original state. This creates an unnatural looking landscape; showing the importance of colour in the perception of our surroundings.

Hydros promote awareness of global environmental issues. On a recent trip to Iceland, we saw the real impact of global warming on the glaciers. Hydros used these images to highlight the issue in an online campaign. The images provided visual evidence of global warming. There were areas of Iceland that previously would have been covered in ice, but they were now slowly disappearing.Digital Photography2010
The images contained within this book are the results of distortion - through solid material, liquid, or motion. The medium through which the image is processed creates a new, and often surreal, abstract visual.

Symmetry brings to mind many things - perfection, balance, equality, order, authority, and uniformity. The artworks included in this book use abstracts from photos of architectural constructions. Some of them use the smallest detail which is scaled up to produce dramatic results, whilst other images use larger details of buildings which are then reduced in scale for the final artwork.

Visual artists are often inspired and influenced by accidents and experiments - a piece of corroding material could be the inspiration for a new design or piece of art. The images contained within this book are the results of corrosion, defacing, or error. The resultant images are light blurs, corroding materials, layers and collages that are new forms of 'accidental art.'
For the layout of this book, the images are arranged on the page at angles, to represent the randomness in the
creation of the original images.

Friction creates heat...
Since 2009, there is a higher percentage of the worlds' population living in cities than in rural areas (source: United Nations Population Division). This density and constant contact between people can have dramatic outcomes, both positive and negative. Cities are a melting pot where all backgrounds, cultures and opinions mix together. People visit and live there to gain new opportunities and experiences, and people move out of cities for a quieter and less chaotic life.
The artworks contained within this book are photos that are distorted digitally to represent this friction that we have within our cities. The 'glitches' within each piece represent excitement and tension, conflict and bonding. These works are also being shown as part of the Independents Biennial in Liverpool 2014.

This book is a continuation of my study into the visual impact of a symmetrical image.
The original images used for these artworks are photographs of light blurs, weathered paint, street lighting, industrial signs and equipment. They are everyday parts of the urban environment. When the symmetrical artwork is created by tiling the image, strange and beautiful compositions emerge from the textures and colours.

These series of works are based around the themes of visual communication and information overload. An initial inspiration for the artworks was the 'test card' screen shown when TV stations (such as the BBC in the UK) finished broadcasting for the evening.
We live in times where large parts of the population of the world have access to 24-hour information and communication methods, via the internet or through mobile phones. This amount of information can be overwhelming. The previous generation were restricted by TV channels ending broadcasts late evening. There was no internet or mobile phones, and news updates were obtained via newspapers or TV / radio updates.
These artworks are created by digitally recycling this visual information into new multi-layered, mixed-media artworks. The artworks contain news headlines, distorted imagery and abstracts from various information sources – both online and offline. The title of each piece is taken from a news headline, with further related text contained within the artwork.

Best Buy: A Cynical March to a Buyout
(AMZN) and Wal-Mart (WMT) for years and the company's board, which was chaired by Schulze until a scandal caused his ouster earlier in 2012, has done little to adapt to a fast-changing retail market. The recent appointment of Hubert Joly as CEO faced stiff criticism and only tracks a narrative of mismanagement.The debt-financed takeout Schulze may unveil is also about the last thing Best Buy and its employees need financially. Already the company is rated junk by rating agencies, and its cash balances indicate increasingly limited financial flexibility for a prospective turnaround. In Best Buy's most recent earnings, cash and cash equivalents at the retailer fell to $309 million, from over $2 billion a year ago. Meanwhile, the headline on Best Buy's earnings release is equally dire. "Best Buy Confirms Significant Decline in Fiscal Third Quarter 2013 Earnings," wrotes the company in late November. Follow @agara2004 -- Written by Antoine Gara in New YorkStill, it's hard to feel bad for shareholders who might have seen the initial $24 to $26 a share "proposal" as an actual takeout price. [Best Buy shares last traded over $20 in the wake of Schulze's proposal.] The company's faced obvious competitive pressure from the likes of Amazon

showdown - sufferer 1 by Doodle-MasterWatch
©2011-2016 Doodle-Master
One of a set of troll ancestor drawings I did for the recent homestuck update, with my prompt being "HEAVY HANDED RELIGIOUS IMAGERY."
Inspirational! Very nice~
When I saw this pic on Homestuck, it didn't give me a religious figure but death figure.
Lacking the back of the skull, but still inpressive.
For my high school art class we have to do a reproduction of a piece of art we like, and I was wondering if I could possibly recreate this on canvas. I wouldn't be selling it, just keeping it for myself and I would give you full credit for the original.
I await your response.
So you're one of the artists that contributed to the actual Homestuck comic? Wow! I remember seeing these in the flash. These are awesome!
You drew this! .O. HOLY CRAP!!!
tHis is so lovely x3
Can I use this picture as a reference picture for my Sufferer cosplay?
OMFG!! he looks awesome!!! OwO
I love how he looks like a Leader of a Satanist Cult but yet his purpose is equality and justice for everyone in Alternia...
'Follow me on Bubblr guys!'
was this the same pic as in [S] Attempt rare and highly dangerous 5x SHOWDOWN COMBO ? :3
This is really cool. I love the serious yet peaceful mood this gives off.
YES. I love how you drew it so dramatic-like.
This is how I feel sometimes when I put on my snuggie dorktastically. XP
Oh my gog I must favorite all of these.
I loved this one the most out of all of them ;v;.

i thought this was actually from the flash
thought it was the real thing
looks like the same thing!
i thought this was actually from the flash

It's a holiday weekend -- a time to relax and unwind.
Long snapping may not be the sexiest part of football, but one collegiate player is proving how cool it can be.
Here's more proof that kids do indeed say the darnedest things.
We'd like to wish Happy Thanksgiving a happy Thanksgiving.
We aren't all master chefs accustomed to cooking huge meals for dozens people, so the kind folks at Butterball have been answering all our Thanksgiving-turkey-cooking-related questions for years. And during that time, they've had some funny calls.
Black Friday has grown into a weekend of consumer-oriented festivities starting as early as 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. We've put together a guide as to who's open when and what kinds of deals you can find when you shop, either at brick-and-mortar stores or on the Web:

More and more businesses may be opening their doors on Thanksgiving, but one man who refused to clock in now has no job.
The long Thanksgiving weekend is filled with great games for football lovers. Here's what to watch:
You can call this teenager an accidental musical prodigy.
What's that expression about where sleeping dogs lie?
The holidays can bring out people's stranger sides, and Thanksgiving is no exception.
It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas.

The ternary I-III-VI2 semiconductor of CuInSe2 nanoparticles with controllable size was synthesized via a simple solvothermal method by the reaction of elemental selenium powder and CuCl as well as InCl3 directly in the presence of anhydrous ethylenediamine as solvent. X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy characterization confirmed that CuInSe2 nanoparticles with high purity were obtained at different temperatures by varying solvothermal time, and the optimal temperature for preparing CuInSe2 nanoparticles was found to be between 180 and 220 °C. Indium selenide was detected as the intermediate state at the initial stage during the formation of pure ternary compound, and the formation of copper-related binary phase was completely deterred in that the more stable complex [Cu(C2H8N2)2]+ was produced by the strong N-chelation of ethylenediamine with Cu+. These CuInSe2 nanoparticles possess a band gap of 1.05 eV calculated from UV–vis spectrum, and maybe can be applicable to the solar cell devices.
The development of new energy resources has been of great interest to materials scientists in recent years, because the traditional fossil fuels were gradually exhausted. Many efforts have been focused on renewable energy materials including photovoltaic electric generators. Among them, the ternary I-III-VI2 semiconductor of CuInSe2 has drawn much attention and becomes a candidate as a promising material for solar cell applications on account of its high optical absorption coefficient, low band gap (~ 1.05 eV), and good radiation stability [1–4]. Until now, several methods were employed to fabricate CuInSe2, such as sputtering [5], evaporation [6], electrodeposition [7, 8], and pyrolysis of molecular single-source precursors [9]. However, most of these techniques usually require either special equipments or high processing temperature, and some of them use environment-unfriendly reagents such as organometallic compounds or H2Se. There are only a few reports so far about the synthesis of CuInSe2 nanostructures using solution-based approaches, partly due to their complexity of synthetic process and difficulty in controlling the pure phase. Typically, CuInSe2 nanorods with diameter of 50–100 nm were prepared in ethylenediamine using Se powder, In2Se3, and CuCl2 anhydrous powder as the starting materials [10]. Xie et al. reported the solvothermal synthesis of CuInSe2 nanowhiskers and nanorods by using structure-directing organic amine solvents [11, 12]. More recently, CuInSe2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized in oleylamine solvent [13–15], and nanorings and nanocrystals with trigonal pyramidal shape were also prepared via the similar route [16, 17]. Furthermore, Li's group developed a facile synthesis and morphology control of CuInSe2 nanocrystals using alkanethiol as ligand and octadecene as noncoordinating solvent at a relatively low temperature [18].
It is well known that the physical and chemical properties of nanoscale materials strongly depend on their size, size distribution, and defect structure [19]. Also considering the construction of solar cells with high efficiency and low cost from colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles is one of the hottest topics in nanoparticle research, thus, developing a facile method to fabricate CuInSe2 with controllable size is the prerequisite for any of their further applications. Herein, we report a solvothermal synthesis of CuInSe2 nanoparticles with controllable size in anhydrous ethylenediamine solvent and no additional surfactants were employed. Some important factors such as reaction time, temperature, and concentrations of starting materials were systematically investigated in details.
All chemicals were used as received without further purification. Elemental selenium powder (99.5 + %), copper (I) chloride (> 99.0%), and indium (III) chloride (99.99%) were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co., anhydrous ethylenediamine was obtained from Kanto Chemical Co., Inc, Japan. In a typical experimental procedure, elemental Se powder (0.237 g, 3 mmol) was dissolved in 40-mL anhydrous ethylenediamine with magnetic stirring for 2 h, then CuCl (0.15 g, 1.5 mmol) and InCl3 (0.332 g, 1.5 mmol) were added. The earlier mentioned mixture was continuously stirred for 2 h and then was loaded into a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave of 55 mL capacity. The autoclave was sealed and maintained at 200 °C for 24 h in an electric oven. After the reaction, the autoclave was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature and the nanoparticles existed in ethylenediamine solution with black color were collected by centrifugation, rinsed with distilled water and absolute ethanol several times to remove the by-products. Finally, the pure product was obtained and stored in absolute ethanol at room temperature. Other controlled experiments were carried out in details by changing the reaction time, temperature, and concentrations of starting materials.
The phase and crystallinity of the as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) on a Bruker D8 Discover diffractometer equipped with Cu Kα (λ = 0.15406 nm) radiation in the 2θ range from 20 to 80° while the voltage and electric current were held at 40 kV and 40 mA, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were obtained using a JEOL JSM7401F field emission scanning electron microscope. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image, high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) image, and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern were taken on a JEOL JEM3010 transmission electron microscope with an accelerating voltage of 300 kV. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were carried out on an ESCA 2000 spectrometer using an Al Kα X-ray as the excitation source. Raman spectrum were measured from 50 to 350 cm−1 at room temperature using the 514-nm line of an Ar+ laser beam with a power level of 30 mW (RM1000-Invia, Renishaw). The UV–vis absorption spectrum of the obtained product was recorded using a UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer (SHIMADZU, UV-3600).
Typical Raman spectrum of above CuInSe2 sample was presented in Fig. 1b, where the most intense peak located at 173 cm−1 is attributed to A 1 mode because this is the strongest peak generally observed in the Raman spectrum of I-III-VI2 chalcopyrite compounds. The A 1 mode in CuInSe2 results from the motion of the Se atom, and the Cu and In atoms remain at rest. The other two weak peaks at 62 and 125 cm−1 can be assigned to B 2 and B 1 mode, respectively, and are well consistent with those reported for CuInSe2 films. Besides, a shoulder peak characterizing the presence of Cu x Se, which is usually centered at about 258 cm−1[21], does not emerge in the Raman spectrum. The secondary phase Cu x Se is always absent during the formation process of CuInSe2 via the present approach, and the detailed reason will be discussed later.
Figure 4b shows the SEM images of CuInSe2 nanoparticles prepared with time of 15 h. Most of the nanoparticles have an average size of about 55–60 nm and only a few exceptions with larger grains coexist. With the reaction progressing to 24 h, the size would gradually grow into 80 nm, as shown in Fig. 3a. If we continued to increase the solvothermal treatment to 30 h while the temperature was still maintained at 200 °C, CuInSe2 nanoparticles with mean size of 200 nm were produced and still remained the irregular shapes (Fig. 4c). More complicated CuInSe2 products including microspheres, rod- and belt-like structures were formed as the time was prolonged to 48 h (Fig. 4d). When the experiment was stopped at this stage, the reactant solution in the autoclave changed to light yellow, and the black products with microscale deposited on the bottom. Therefore, almost no CuInSe2 within nanoscale could be collected by centrifugation from the solution.
Generally, the magnitude of nanoparticles prepared via solution method can be controlled by some parameters such as reaction time, temperature, pH value, concentrations of precursors, solvent, and so on. However, when we attempted to control the size of CuInSe2 nanoparticles by decreasing the concentrations of starting materials, the results are not satisfied. Figure 5c and d illustrate the SEM images of CuInSe2 products synthesized at 200 °C for 24 h with the concentrations of half and one-third, respectively, compared to those in typical synthesis in the "Experimental" section. The size did not show obvious change and was almost in the range of 70–80 nm. Hydrothermal or solvothermal method has some advantages including low cost and convenience of handle. However, the disadvantage is also apparent that a relative long time is required to raise the temperature of solution in the autoclave to a target value, during which the reaction has already taken place and resulted in the difficulty in separating the nucleation stage from crystal growth step. Hence, the final nanoparticles are not expected to be uniform in both size and shape, as revealed by the previous SEM images. In the present work, in order to precisely control the size and phase of CuInSe2 nanoparticles by simply changing some synthetic factors, further work should be carried out to understand the detailed mechanism and influences of preparation conditions, and some related research is currently in progress.
In summary, the ternary I-III-VI2 semiconductor of CuInSe2 nanoparticles with controllable size has been successfully prepared via solvothermal approach. Elemental selenium powder, CuCl, and InCl3 were used as starting materials and ethylenediamine as solvent. The phase purity of the product can be easily controlled by varying reaction time at different temperatures, however, the optimal temperature for synthesizing CuInSe2 nanoparticles within nanoscale ranges from 180 to 220 °C, only appropriate time of solvothermal treatment was employed. The as-obtained CuInSe2 nanoparticles possess a band gap of 1.05 eV calculated from UV–vis spectrum. We believe these CuInSe2 nanoparticles with controllable size could be processed into films and have wide potential applications in solar cell devices.

The menu includes fried oysters ($14.99); monterey oysters topped with jalapenos, hickory-smoked bacon, and melted cheddar ($9.95, half-dozen; $18.95, dozen); cheesy grits and shrimp ($14.99); 14-ounce USDA-choice-cut rib eye ($20.99); and stuffed crab dinners ($13.99).
Wintzell's Oyster House
There's no shortage of renowned oyster establishments in the South. But TripSmarter.com pegged Wintzell's Oyster House as its #1 destination for the specialty. "Fried, stewed, or nude," they come served in every way imaginable at Wintzell's—oysters are, unsurprisingly so, the trademark dish. And they've been the trademark dish since the eatery's flagship location opened in 1938.
Regional seafood favorites also dominate the menu, from low-country boils to Cajun seafood fettuccine and bacon-wrapped shrimp. While the original location became something of a landmark in historic Mobile, the restaurant has since expanded to multiple locations. Each one, though, retains the original's decorative signature: several dozen whimsical signs on the walls. The website even features some of their slogans: "Never kick a man when he is down—he may get up."

Change creates discomfort because it involves more thinking, and increased sorting, with increased cognitive abundance and fewer places to put new things. If we overlook the common denominator of time and change in ADHD relationships, in negotiating those potentially frozen reactions, we remain arrested in our own development. As a marketing guy once told me: "You only live once, but you can be immature for a lifetime." Think: Executive Function Arrest, Arrested Development, Denial of Change – Stuck.
Labels deny change. Labels avoid change. Labels avoid both time and context. Context, the reality of life, carries many variables. Avoiding context avoids new variables. Labels avoid the complexity of life. ADHD labels that avoid function and the dynamic of change in the context of specific life realities simply don't cover the necessary variables to provide improved treatment targets.
Safe Wrapping: Denial Encouraged
Stuck Outside Of Context and Change Experience:
- Labels
- Reductionistic thinking
- Appearances
- Superficial thinking
- Comparisons
- Meta- analysis of labels
- North
- South
- East
- West
- Midwest
- Race
- Fundamentalist Religions
- Gender
- Nationality
- Training
- Institutions
- Country Clubs
- Sides of town
- Group think
- Hyperactive
- Inattentive

Amell thanks WWE fans
On Wednesday night, Arrow made its return to television and numbers were considerably much better than it has ever been. Stephen Amell attributes some of that to the new followers that he received by doing a match at Summerslam for WWE. He took to social media to thank all of the professional wrestling fans that checked out his show. Amell seems genuinely grateful towards the industry.

WWE on AJ Lee
Since the internet wrestling community is speculating about the backstage heat towards AJ Lee, WWE decided to do a little public relations work. The company decided to thank her by doing a tribute which consists of 100 of the best photos of career with them. They even included a popular hash tag that fans have been using to thank AJ on social media sites. The belief is that there is still some heat towards the former divas champion.

An Assignment of
The concept of learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge. This process is including verbal knowledge, habits, skills, and behaviors located outside our conscious awareness. Learning represents a permanent change in a behavior that takes place as a result of experience. The process of learning refers to the original acquisition of knowledge, together with its extinction and retention over time, and with the acquisition of new responses. The learning process is interconnected with motivation, perception, personality, social components, cultural factors, information processing, and decision making activity. Learning involves changes in the behaviors, or in the behaviors that might be performed, excluding those changes that are not due to experience (ex: maturation). "Learning is an active process of gaining information, understanding, or capabilities (Edmondson, 2002; Garvin, 2000; Senge, 1990)."
The learning process takes place at various levels of awareness and consciousness, but its detection requires objective and quantifiable evidences. The learning occurs inside the brain, in the nervous system, and it is based on neuronal mechanisms. It is applicable to the behaviors of humans and animals, and represents a manifestation of internal and external response of the organisms involved. Learning is interconnected with the academic and educational activity, and represents a source of practical application. The human central nervous system has the capacity to learn and to memorize behaviors in the prenatal period and in the very early development period of the child. The prenatal learning has been described "in terms of habituation, conditioning, and imprinting sequences (Querleu, 1981, Van de Carr, 1988, Logan, 1991)."
Learning is essential for performance and for the achievement of goals. There are several differences between learning and performance. Learning refers to a permanent change in the behavioral...

It would be a waste of government funds if they had to set aside a lump of money just to make sure everyone being turned away from a job is being turned away for the right reasons. I rather that money be put into healthcare; sorry.

The things is, most wrongdoers don't get in trouble. The large majority of employment in the United States is at-will. This means that the employer can turn down or terminate any prospective or current employee for whatever reasons they want. They don't even have to give a reason; however, whenever an employer wants to terminate an employee via discrimination, they still usually wait for the first excuse to have cause to terminate, as a way to cover their behinds. The employee can also quit for whatever reason, and also does not have to give a reason. Employee handbooks that deal with discipline, which are usually held to be binding contracts, employment contracts, and union contracts between a labor union and the employer are the most common exceptions to the at-will rule. This makes it almost impossible to prove discrimination, even when it exists.

Abe L. takes umbrage over my concerns about Exelixis' (EXEL) prostate cancer drug cabozantinib: "I will definitely be e-mailing a copy of your article today and asking the SEC to check and see what your options positions are today. Nothing but a hacket [sp] job on Exelixis and you know it. The SEC is worthless but guys like you are pathetic." I wonder if there's a person at the SEC who fields these emails and says to himself (or herself), "Oh, Adam must have written another Mailbag today." If so, I apologize for my fans. They can get a bit rambunctious.
Ted B. asks, "What is your vote on Surfaxin from Discovery Labs(DSCO) and why?" I say FDA approves Surfaxin on Tuesday. Why? The little-known FDA Mercy Rule. It's inconceivable that a company can screw up so badly that its drug is rejected five times in a row. Therefore, Surfaxin will be approved. If you want to read a contrarian take on Discovery and Surfaxin, Joseph Lee of FDATracker.com argues that FDA will reject the drug. --Written by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Adam Feuerstein. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/adamfeuerstein. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Daniel Bryan ignores AJ Lee
Those that watched his rise through WWE know that AJ Lee played a key part in the story for Daniel Bryan. You would figure that she would be mentioned in an autobiography by the guy. However, Bryan never once mentions her name on any of the pages. That, of course, has added more fuel to the fire on the rumors that there could be backstage heat between AJ and Brie Bella. It would explain her omission from the book.

AJ Lee secret
Word going around right now is that AJ Lee knew that she was going to be retiring after Wrestlemania but she opted to keep that a secret from the front office. Had she done that, then WWE would more than likely have her lose at the pay per view. The fact that AJ left the company so abruptly is a sign that she has no intentions of ever returning. She knows the business well enough to know that there would be backstage heat towards her.

AJ Lee backstage heat
Reports have surfaced that AJ Lee is not a very popular person backstage in WWE nowadays. The feeling is that she is essentially doing whatever she wants because she knows that the company needs her more than she needs them. AJ is said to be more than willing to walk away from the business. Some of the backstage heat towards the former divas champion also stems from the resentment that many in the company have towards CM Punk.

[Hi-Res Photo]Assistant Professor of Law
Law College Building
648 N. Shaw Lane Rm 367
East Lansing, MI 48824-1300
For 2015-16, Professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick is serving as Visiting Associate Professor of Law at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law.
Professor David Blankfein-Tabachnick's scholarly interests focus on private law, taxation and distributive values. His internationally recognized work on contract, property, intellectual property, taxation and tort appears in highly selective law reviews and peer edited journals including the California Law Review, the Michigan Law Review (forthcoming), the Virginia Law Review and the Cambridge University Press journal, Social Philosophy and Policy. His distributive account of the private law has been the subject of scholarly engagement in leading law reviews and peer reviewed journals. His articles have been reprinted in Cambridge University Press volumes on taxation and the freedom of association and his work on tort law has been reprinted in Rawls and Law, a collection of articles by acclaimed legal scholars.
Professor Blankfein-Tabachnick joined the Law College's tenure system faculty in the fall of 2014 and he is a member of the Intellectual Property, Information & Communications Law Program. He has been a visiting scholar at the Yale Law School and a visiting faculty member at Penn State Law.

M.S.L., Yale Law School; Ph.D., University of Virginia; M.A., University of Rochester; B.A., Ithaca College, with honors
- Basic Income Taxation B
(Formerly DCL 250) Like Basic Income Taxation A, this course introduces the basic concepts of federal income taxation. Basic Income Taxation B, however, goes beyond a survey course by a rigorous examination of technical tax issues, including a focus on solving complex tax problems. This course is ideal for students interested in pursuing legal practice in the tax or business fields. Students will be exposed to the same topics covered in Basic Income Taxation A, but will also study additional topics. Topics likely to be covered include: business and profit-seeking expenditures, capital expenditures, depreciation, the home-office deduction, tax planning for divorce, non-recourse debt, including issues relating to basis and amount realized, and anti-tax abuse provisions limiting tax shelters, including at-risk rules and active participation requirements. In resolving problems, students will have ample opportunity to develop facility in interpreting complex statutes and in applying law from various additional sources. Moreover, the themes studied will allow students to understand that tax legislation is a dynamic process in which the law evolves as a result of taxpayers devising new strategies and from policymakers' responses.
- Decedents' Estates and Trusts
Effective fall 2016 name changed to Trusts and Estates. A study of the pattern of practices for transmitting wealth in view of death. The course surveys probate jurisdiction and administration; intestate succession; limitations on testamentary power; execution requirements for wills; revocation, revalidation and revival of wills; incorporation by reference; contest of wills and related remedies. Also covered are the private express trust, inter vivos and testamentary, including functions, prohibited trust purposes and requisites for creation; informal and incomplete trusts, including resulting, constructive and savings bank trusts; termination of trusts; gifts to charity, including historical backgrounds, nature of charitable purposes and cy pres; powers and duties of the fiduciary; and remedies of beneficiaries in case of breach of duty.
- Property
(Formerly DCL 113) This is a survey course of the fundamentals of property law. Possessory interests of real and personal property including findings, bailments and adverse possession are discussed and analyzed. Topics also include future interests, concurrent ownership, lease holds, transfers of land and land use controls.
- Tax Policy Seminar
(Formerly DCl 517) This seminar covers a range of tax policy issues arising from Federal Taxation. The specific issues studied will vary but, in general, will focus on progressivity and redistribution. Topics likely to be covered include: the use of the income tax as a fiscal policy tool; the concept of income; imputed income; progressive versus flat tax rates; taxation of families; income versus consumption taxation; tax expenditures, exclusions, and deductions; taxation of business and investment income; capital gains and losses; and transfer or wealth taxes. A paper will be required. The topic will be determined after consultation with the instructor. This seminar is open to students who have taken or are enrolled in Basic Income Taxation (A or B). Others who are interested may enroll with the permission of the instructor.

Garrus calibrating forever.
Mass Effect (C) Bioware
Credit to the author ShadowMaster.
There is now a new page listing fan-made skits. C:
Omg I laughed out loud yesterday when I saw it. This is damn brilliant and hilarious
This made my day. This was pretty much the exact thing I always felt like doing when he told me calibrations needed to be done first.
Poor Garrus lol
ged deemet gerres...
So that's how he got that scar
Haha, I really wanted do something like that xD
I truly wish that there was an option to do this in game! I find that every time i do a play through, i have to pace myself as not to exhaust all the dialogue too soon. Great job!
Never deny Shepard. Ever. XD
XD haha!
And I thought it was going to be different.
And I thought it was going to be different.
No wonder they all take orders from Shepard! They're terrified of the ass-whooping they'll receive if they refuse.
Commander Shepard: Best shrink in the galaxy.
XD Okay this was funny. I can totally relate to this. Sometimes in ME2 when I really want to talk to someone that has been there for me from the beginning (Garrus), instead he's too busy! Man, I thought we were tight, but you can't spare a sec?
And then he just throws him aside afterward. ha ha ha
Hilarious! ha ha ha
Dying laughing dosen't sound too bad.
Agreed..95% of our conversations consisted of "can it wait for a bit, I'm in the middle of some calibrations" THE HELL ARE YOU CALIBRATING YOUR DICK ALL THIS TIME?!
says hes busy but u can still ask him about random stuff
Hahahaha, Best!! Shepards face lol!
"Spectres are chosen, not trained."

Oh my gosh so true. He's always calibrating.
I laughed, so freaking hard. It's so true.
Shepards Psycho face!!! Dear GOD!
This is too good...hahahahahahah
This is great. Really, I needed that laugh.
LOL! I choked on my water and it ended up coming out my nose xD I wish we really could do that. Damn Garrus and his calibrations
GOD I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN OH JESUS GOD I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. i was thinking the same thing when i asked him that. i never forgot what he said either! "can it wait for a bit? im in the middle of some calibrations." WE KILLED THE COLLECTORS. WHAT CALIBRATIONS DO YOU HAVE?
Finally He deserved that
I can't stop laughing. This is brilliant XD
Ha that was awesome
This is hilarious! Holy crap fdjaksl
I thought about doing this a few times myself. ^^
you only get like three real conversations with the guy! I wish I could have yelled at him lol
Soo know that feeling XD oh Garrus and ur calibrations x'D
Roflmao, scaring children and adults alike.
Guess i need to leave garrus alone
omg love this i just want to punch garrus so hard when he says that
have you ever played mass effect? garrus was never in specter training. he could have been but his father doesn't like specters because they are outside the law and he hates that.
yea he was all turians go in specter training he says that once in the first one i think, dont remember if he droped out or not all i know is he did get in lol
