Horror No Anti-Drug Agent, Teachers ToldBy DIANA D'INDIA Franklin County teachers were told today by the director of Harvard University Health services that "horror stories" on drug use are not the best way to Inform the majority of students on the hazards of drugs. Dr. Dana L. Farnsworth told the Franklin County Teachers' Association that drug education programs should emphasize "why people do take drugs" Instead of "why people should not take drugs." He said the horror stories, the "why nots" of drug use, tend to be considered by the youth as "hypocrisy and untruthfulness from older persons." Drug use, Farnsworth said, "has assumed the proportion of initiation rites" by young people who want to be accepted by their peers, and who have lost confidence In parents and teachers.Compares To Alcohol Dr. Farnsworth also spoke on marijuana and compared Its use to that of alcohol. In comments as to whether use of that drug should be made legal. He did not feel It should be legalized. .Alcohol; ip S3!di "glyp.s out signals" but marijuana gives "very little In the way of signals. "Even large amounts of marijuana may produce no signs until the Individual becomes psychotic," he noted. "Because people can recognize alcohol users, the alcohol gives signals; we have learned, up to a point how to deal with alcoholics," he said. If drugs were legalized, the question Is "how much then can a society tolerate In the way of odd behavior of Its people" and still function? "The concept of stricter laws and heavier penalties does not seem to be effective In deterring drug use. Dr. Farnsworth said. He called laws restraining drug use "unreasonable". Dr. Farnsworth listed several fpphnlniips driip users emolovTunney's Daughter Foiinfl MARSEILLES, France (AP) — Joan Tunney Wilkinson, daughter of former heavyweight boxer champion Gene' Tunney, Is In a Marseilles hospital after being missing for two months. Two residents of France brought Mrs. Wilkinson to the American Consulate Friday and she was taken to a hospital. Officials refused to say whether she was seriously 111.

Dr. Farnsworth called this an "irrelevant argument" and said there Is no reason why, If the country has five million "rum-head", there should be 5 million "potheads". Marijuana Least Evil Dr. Farnsworth called marijuana the least of the evils in the drue lines and said that the emphetamlnes "are the greatest hazard" for the young people. He said there was "no typical user" of drugs, and told the several hundred teachers assembled that the best way for a physician to determine if a person is a drug user Is to ask the individual, but the teachers should use more Indirect methods.

The Academy of Sciences said they were awarded the $72,800 prize for "having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes." Meanwhile, the winner of the 1969 prize for literature, Irish-French playwright Samuel Beckett, sent a telegram accepting the prize, his publisher announced In Paris. But the publisher, Jerome Lindon, said the shy, retiring writer would not go to Stockholm for the presentation of the award. TInbergen, 66, has been chairman of the Committee for Development Planning of the United Nations sirice 1966. Frlsch, 74,- became a professor at Oslo University in 1931 and was director of the university's Institute for Social Economy for many years. He has been visiting professor at a number of universities since World War II and has also been economic counsellor for economic planning In a number of developing countries.Clear And Cold BOSTON (AP)—Temperature, Tuesday through Saturday, will average near the seasonal normal.

Senate Investigators, reporting on more than eight months of undercover sleuthing, said (Continupfi nn P,tpp Tpn > SAIGON (AP) — The U.S. Command today awaited further word from the Viet Cong on Its plans for the release of three American soldiers. In a broadcast by Its Liberation Radio Sunday night, the Viet Cong said It would free the three GIs as a demonstration of Its "lenient and humane" policies. On the basis of Army serial numbers given In the broadcast, the U.S. Command Identified the men as Spec. 4 Willie A. Watklns, of Sumter, S.C.; Pfc. James H. Strickland Jr., of Dunn, N.C.; and Pfc. Coy R. Tlnsley, 22, of Cleveland, Tenn. All were members of the America! Division. Tlnsley Is one of 14 children of Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Tlnsley of Cleveland, Tenn., and the seventh son to serve In the armed forces. He disappeared last March 9 during an action near Quang Ngal City, In the northern part of the country. Watklns and Strickland were reported missing In action Jan. 8 and Jan. 9, 1968, In the Que Son valley. The Viet Cong broadcast Indicated that both were members of A Company, 3rd Battalion, 196th Light Infantry Brigade. The company 19 months later temporarily refused an order to advance after five days of being thrown back. The Viet Cong's announcement was ' repeated several times today but did not say where or when the three men would be released. There was speculation It might Involve another battlefield meeting between American and Viet Cong officers, like the meeting last New Year's Day near the Cambodian border when three other GIs were handed over. The U.S. Command says the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese have released a total of 18 American military personnel since February, 1%7. The enemy also has freed two American civilians and one German nurse. A number of other Americans have escaped fram the Viet Cong. In its latest weekly casualty summary last Thursday, the U.S. Command said 1,319 American military personnel were listed as missing or captured. Of these, 413 are known to be prisoners In North Vietnam, about 200 are mlssln In South Vietnam, and the U.S. Defense Denartment believes manv of the rest are prisoners In the North. U.S. military officials declined comment on the Viet Cong's statement that during their detention Watklns, Strickland and Tlnsley "proved progressive, were aware that the U.S. Imperialists' war of aggression In South Vietnam would certainly fall, and showed their repentance of the crimes they had committed against the Vietnamese people." Such statements are usually made by the Communists about every prisoner they release. The broadcast also said the U.S. Command must "create conditions for these three POWs to return soon to their families and country." This statement heightened speculation that the Viet Cong might seek a meeting with American officers to "n'e-gtlate" the release, but a U.S. Command spokesman said the statement "might simply be another Communist complaint that we Interrogate freed prisoners and delay their return to their families." In New York, an attorney for two American pacifists who have had dealings with the North Vietnamese concerning POW releases said his clients will soon release "extremely Important" Information from Hanoi that will "relieve the anxiety" of relatives of American prisoners of war. The attorney, William Kunstler, said this had nothing to do with the Viet Cong announcement, that It was "something more momentous than the release of two or three prisoners." Kunstler had just returned from a visit to the North Vietnamese delegation In Paris. He said the North Vietnamese wanted to see his clients^ David Dellinger and Rennard C. Davis, but they are among the defendants In the conspiracy trial of the Chicago Eight, and the court would not let thqm leave the country. Künstler said Davis and Del-linger will decide "how and when" to release particulars. "It Is my guess that It will be within the next-10 days," he , salí?.

S- Forces GE Plants Around Nation Hit By Strike, Picketing NEW YORK (AP) — Pickets are up today at General Electric Co. plants around the nation, as unions representing 147,000 workers strike for higher wages and cost-of-living protection. The strike began at midnight, hours after GE rejected the unions' proposal for binding arbitration. It was unclear whether GE's defense and aerospace production, which make up 20 per cent of Its $8 billion annual sales, would be affected. GE, the nation's fourth largest Industrial corporation, has 280 plants In 133 cities in 33 states. A spokesman said the company would try to keep Its plants open. Some of the plants are nonunion, the spokesman said, but most will be affected by the strike. GE emplovs 310,000 workers In the United States and 90,000 overseas. A majority of these are In nonunion, white-collar jobs. But 90 per cent of the production force — all but about 16,000 workers — have joined the walkout. A coalition of 13 unions has been negotiating with GE. Some of their contracts expired at midnight. Other unions still have contracts but are supporting the strike. The labor coalition Is led by the International Union of Electrical Workers, AF.L-CIO, representing 88,500 GE workers, and the independent United Electrical Workers, representing 16,000 men. Some units of the United Auto Workers and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the nation's largest Independent unions, are Involved In the strike. The largest GE plants with Plttsfleld, Mass.; Schenectady, Elmira and Syracuse, N.Y.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Philadelphia, Erie and Allentown, Pa.; Louisville, Ky.; Cleveland, Ohio; and Fort Wayne, Ind. Negotiations bogged down when the, unions rejected GE's first and only offer, for a 20-cent-an-hour pay Increase the first year, with wage re-openers In the two subsequent years of a three-year pact. GE also offered up to 25 cents hourly for special skills. The current average wage for GE employes is $3.25 an hour. The unions had demanded a 30-month contract with raises of 35 cents an hour the first year, 30 cents the second and 25 the final six months, with a cost-of- llvtna Acrnlntftr plfiiica LYNN, Mass.

About 200 pickets were around the truck entrance to the River Works plant as police escorted five cars of management employes through at a time. There was some jumping on the bumpers and rocking of the vehicles. Police took two men Into custody after a window In one car was smashed by a stone. The Incident occurred after someone among the pickets yelled "Scab" as the car went through. One of the men went limp and had to be carried by police to a cruiser. Neither was Identified immediately.

The Pennsylvania senator also said he expects an American '.rithdrawsl of 300,000 mer. from Vietnam. He put no time reference on the latter. Scott's predictions came while Nixon Isolated himself at Camp David, reportedly to work on his promised Nov. 3 public review of the Vietnam situation. The President returned to Washington Sunday from the presidential retreat In the Ca-toctlm Mountains of Maryland. "At the moment, there Is a chance, It seems to me, to try a gradual progressive disarmament," Scott said In a radio Interview • taped for weekend broadcast by Pennsylvania stations. "The President Is going to make more than a 30 per cent cut. In my opinion. In American armed forces during this first term. "I would favor also, I would think, what the President seems to be headed for," he added, ".. . to bring back about 300,000 of our troops over a period. The sooner we can remove all combat troops from Vietnam, the better." But on what degree of "Vlet-namlzatlon" of the war should precede an American pullout, Scott put himself at odds with a fellow Republican senator. New York's Jacob Javits. Javlts, In a New York radio interview, said the United States must end Its combat operations In Vietnam by the end of 1971 "even If It may mean that South Vietnam will go down the drain."

Admittedly, it's been a while since I did any regular riding, about six weeks. Off and on I have had a bit of an issue with pain on the inner back side of my knee. Only while riding the 'bent, never on my DF.
I have paid as close attention as I can to attempt to achieve the same extension for my legs between the two bikes. I use the same crank length, with the only difference there being the pedals.
The issue presented about 8 miles into a 16 miler (I cut short) and feels a whole lot like an overuse injury...except that I haven't been riding. I am familiar with ITB pain, and front and back of knee issues from "seat height" but cannot seem to get a grip on this situation. Even when I was riding on a regular basis it was vary between the tendon across the back inside side of the knee and the joint itself, but only on the ligaments on the inside.
What should I be looking into, if anything, to help me get some comfort from this recurring issue?

Judge Shortage Delays Disability Cases
There's a shortage of administrative judges to hear people's Social Security disability appeals. That's meant some people wait for years without benefits. But new judges can't be hired until the Bush administration and Congress settle their differences over the budget.

Cecil B. Demented (2000)
Critic Consensus: The idea behind John Waters' latest has much potential, but the movie ends up being too sloppy and underdeveloped in terms of script and direction. Also, by today's standards, it fails to shock.

All Critics (104) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (42) | Rotten (38) | DVD (16)
Where once Waters was brilliantly polluted, now he comes off diluted.
A losing battle.
The problem with John Waters making a movie about the sorry state of commercial cinema is that his output is only a little more useful than what he's satirizing.
Ends up a sloppy exercise in irritating audiences instead of the sharp satire the story line promises.
Not even the reassuring familiarity of the Waters stock company (including Mink Stole, Ricki Lake and, pointedly in this case, Patty Hearst) is enough to fully redeem this effort.
Audience Reviews for Cecil B. Demented
At first, it seems like John Waters wants to make an audacious hate letter to mainstream cinema with some nice moments of brilliance, but then you realize his "revolutionaries" are a bunch of freaking tards and the film gets too over-the-top and all over the place to have a point.
Super Reviewer
Full Of GRACE!
Super Reviewer
De-ment-ed For-ev-er!!! I have no clue why people think this is not as good as Waters' other work. So vastly under-rated, waaaay better than Sunset Boulevard or Day of the Locust when it comes to a movie about movies.

A very interesting game! I really enjoyed finding out more about myself as the character throughout the puzzles during the game. I got stuck a few times, and I didn't make observations sometimes when I needed to. I'm glad you announced that there were two endings which were randomized otherwise I would have never known to try to find the second one.
Great game, and looking forward to your next one!

I'm a big fan of your games, Craig, but I've just started playing and have gotten into this game a bit, and this item carry limit is making me insane. I never understood why these exist and I apologize if it was a requirement rather than a choice for the design of the game, but it's quite cumbersome and sort of off-putting when it comes to becoming immersed in the game play. I'll post a true review when I've finished!

Nice twist with a good story. However I found most of the things you have to do aren't intuitive, and I just figured them out through trial and error, or by looking them up here. Personally I like it better when the game gives you hints (even if they're subtle) about what to do with items when you look at/examine them. (Like the picture frame in this game did, but then the plug hole in the sink didn't.)

Ha thanks a bunch! I guess I don't like "dealing" with people when they're already down.
This is another awesome game! The things I needed to do felt pretty straightforward (except when I was stuck, haha) and really made sense after the fact. I guess the only thing personally I didn't like was that I had to use a gun. I didn't have any technical problems. Looks like I didn't get away at the end. I'll try it out again!

Thanks for your help as always Craig, managed to finish it quite quickly after your reply, can't believe I hadn't tried the command 'use jack on car'!

I thought the way you had to build up your memory was very well done and made for a very suspenseful game. All in all another brilliantly written and planned out adventure that everyone should play. My only slight problem with the game was a purely personal one and is no criticism on the game or your skill as a game writer, and that is that I personally don't like too much violence in a game or story and so I was a little uncomfortable at having to shoot someone. Still, it is in character and an integral part of the game and I'm aware that most people are not as sensitive as me!

After some time away from the game, I decided to give Civ 4 another try. I would like to like it, but what happens in almost all games is that I irrevocably run out of money. Then my units are disbanded and the barbarians pick apart my civ's bloated corpse.
Where does one pick up money in this game?

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
2 boots for the price of 1
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Got these to go with the BD Shivas so that I can use them with my Alpine and Backcountry set up. They've been great so far. It takes a little work to get the sole blocks on and off but they work. My only complain and the reason for 4 stars is that the heel block screws into plastic and not metal. I'm a little worried that in time they'll strip and have had problems getting the screw to line up straight in one heel. I took them into the BD retail store in SLC and they helped me to straighten it out for free. Some metal threads would be a nice improvement.
Served their purpose
Although I am not keeping the boots I bought these for, they are exactly as shown and are doing exactly as mentioned above. Bummer the boots don't fit :(
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've bought two pair of these now and they are awesome. Very durable and easy to put on your boots so you can tour or alpine ski.
Any chance you'll be getting any more size Large? I really don't care what color as these are getting hard to come by (although Envy Green would be nice).
Will titanium sole blocks work on 2011 factor 130? Have titanium sole blocks and mean green sole blocks any deference except colour?
Will they work on my salomon quest pro 130 boots with the salomon gardian 13? check please, Thanks!
These blocks are interchangeable with any generation of Black Diamond Freeride Power Series boots, including the Shiva, Factor, Factor 110, Factor 130, and Method Ski Boots.
They would work with the guardian binding, but they are made ONLY for Black Diamond boots - not Salomon.
If you have last years version of the Guardian - they are compatible with any alpine or WTR sole. If you have this year's version (MNC) they are compatible with alpine, AT or WTR soles. That boot is most likely already compatible with that binding... But if you just need/want to replace the sole, you'd need Salomon brand soles that are compatible with those boots.
Email me if you have any questions!
Are these soles ISO 9523 rated? Will they...
Are these soles ISO 9523 rated?
Will they work on my 2010 factor with the salomon gardian 13 or look XM 13 which apparently only take ISO 9523 and WTR rated soles
Hey aar6205337,
Yes, these will work with your 2010 Factors. The sole block will also be compatible with your bindings.
Will these fit on the 2009 model Factor?
Will these fit on the 2009 model Factor?
I am wondering the same thing, anybody have some tech on this?

Re: PC - BankAmeric

I don't have the card in question but I believe that the $50,000 in deposits is only required in order to have the annual fee waived each year. I did a PC a few months ago and was told that I could have the one you wanted but took the plain 123 card instead. I've done a number of PCs with them over the years and they always tell you it will be a couple of weeks. However, it will usually be a couple of weeks after your next statement cuts, so if you request a change at the wrong time it could take up to 6 weeks to get the card. At least this has always been my experience over the course of probably 8 product changes with them,

The stills from Kate Moss' very first sitting are to be auctioned off at the end of the month, with the still expected to raise up to £1,200 when they go under the hammer.
The images of the future supermodel were taken over two decades ago in 1988 when Moss was only a fourteen-year-old school girl, and are thought to be from her first modelling shoot. Even at fourteen, you can already see the steely gaze and immaculate bone structure that has served Moss so well in her modelling career, despite her young age.
They were taken by professional photographer David Ross only a short while after she was spotted by a talent agency when at an airport. The stills, which go up on sale on November 23, are expected to fetch between £800 to £1,200. Sarah Wheeler, photographs specialist at Bloomsbury Auctions where the photos will be auctioned off, said: "We are thrilled to be auctioning these very first professional photographs of Kate Moss, aged just 14. She already shows early promise - her fantastic bone structure is a gift for a photographer, combined with her youthful innocence and instinct for the camera."
Also going up for auction on the night are five unused snaps from the Beatles' Abbey Road cover shoot.

I was in a bad car accident last year (semi slammed into the back of my car) and I got tired of sitting around a getting fat.
it still hurts too much to go to the gym so I picked up a bike and started cycling again.
I've noticed that when I finish riding my ears and sometimes my throat, more so my ears though, are throbbing.
I've done a little reading and someone mentioned that it might have to do with not breathing correctly while riding. Something about muscles in my neck that help assist my lungs with breathing are working over time and causing the throbbing.
so I'm here to ask if anyone else has experienced this and what did you do to correct it.
also what are some ways that I can help train myself to breathe better while cycling.

brain stem
brain stem, lower part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord. The upper segment of the human brain stem, the pons, contains nerve fibers that connect the two halves of the cerebellum. It is vital in coordinating movements involving right and left sides of the body. Below the pons and continuous with the spinal cord is the medulla, which transmits ascending and descending nerve fibers between the spinal cord and the brain. The medulla also directly controls many involuntary muscular and glandular activities, including breathing, heart contraction, artery dilation, salivation, vomiting, and probably laughing. The nuclei of some of the nerves that originate in the brain are also located in the brain stem. Nerve fibers in the brain stem do not readily regenerate, hence injury may result in permanent loss of function. See also nervous system.

Here at SMP we get pretty excited when fresh ideas come across our desks so when The Venue Report sent over images by Jose Villa and Joel Serrato from their recent Cuban inspired shoot, well, let's just say the rest of our day wasn't all that productive. Taking their cue from the romance of Cuban culture, The Venue Report created a celebratory scene that I'm aching to jump right into. From Found Vintage Rentals' colorful pieces and the most fabulous outfits – courtesy of Grey Likes Weddings' styling talents – these pics are basically our summer wedding daydreams come to life.
From The Venue Report… We produced a shoot inspired by Cuba right before the travel laws shifted! Photographers Jose Villa and Joel Serrato had been a few times and it topped our list of places we also wanted to visit. Going to Cuba you feel as if you have stepped back into a bygone era. The cars parked on the streets are still from the 1950's.
With the recent travel laws changing we are sure we will see even more gatherings and homes inspired by the Cuban culture as it opens its doors for tourists to visit.
It was incredibly hard finding interior design inspiration from Cuba so we became instead inspired by the romantic touches of Cuba. Its colors, its food, its cocktails, cigars, cars, the Cuban cement tiles and the colorful macaws in the archipelago of Cuba.
We produced this gathering at the historic Lombardi House in a palette of mint, spring greens, mustard, poppy red. It's a fresh palette and combination that you will find across Cuba in the homes, tiles, kitchens and cafes. Guests were served handcrafted mojitos.
One of our favorite design elements of Cuba is the Cuban cement tiles. We recreated these into cut wood tile placemats at each setting, adorned by tropical bird plates, hand calligraphed place cards and mojitos with raw sugar sticks.

"The place where the river can be God....." Egypt by Irine_29
Egypt Travel Guide: 16,224 reviews and 41,644 photos
I am now wondering what more could I add for that country.
I will start from my ealry childhood and the books I read then, about the miracle of Pyramides.Many years later I decided that it was about time I witnesed it myself.
March was a very good time for visiting Egypt, not only for the mild climate but also for the small amount of tourists beeing around at the time.
I was never a lover of the idea travelling in group, however due to vast distances between the cities and monuments, due to the very different religious customs and habits and most of all due to my need to be acompanied by a guide helping me in the historical monuments, I decided to attend one. In that case, I never regreted,but luckily, since then, I never had to do it again!
The trip started from Cairo.After we flew to Luxor where we boarded on a cruise ship for a 4 day cruising on Nile.The cruise ended in Luxor and from there back to Cairo and Alexandria.

Forgotten Oklahoma cemetery contains grave of woman who walked Trail of Tears
GROVE — A young Cherokee woman who as a child walked the infamous Trail of Tears path to Oklahoman and was buried nearly 133 years ago in a forgotten cemetery located in the middle of Grove was honored on Saturday.
Once thought to be an abandoned cemetery that is located on top of a hill near the community's city offices is the tombstone of Electa Crittenden.
"The majority (of Grove residents) didn't know the graveyard was here," said Don Meints, a Grand Lake realtor.
For nearly 60 years, the four-plot cemetery was hidden behind an old shed among entangled brush and vines.
"It was about seven years ago the tombstones were discovered and a red flag went up," Meints said.
The old shed has since been tore down and hauled away, the weeds and brush removed and the grassy lot is now mowed on a regular schedule.
Underneath a 40-foot tall hickory tree are three grave markers. The marker with legible engraving belongs to Crittenden.
According to the grave marker, she was born Dec. 25, 1835 and died Jan. 20, 1879, almost 28 years before statehood. At the time of Crittenden's death, Grove, referred to as Grove Springs, was more of a watering hole for travelers.
Engraved on Crittenden's tombstone are the words, "Her gentle ways will ever dwell in hearts of those who knew and loved her well."
On Saturday about 60 members of the Trail of Tears — Oklahoma Chapter honored Electa Crittenden. At the base of her tombstone is a bronze plaque engraved with the words "In honor of one who endured the forced removal of the Cherokees in 1838-1839."
"This is holy ground," said Billie Napolitano. "No one can come in and move this cemetery."
"We think her 2-year-old son is also buried here," said Cara Cowan Watts, Cherokee Nation Tribal Councilwoman.
As a 3-year-old child, Crittenden endured the forced removal from Tennessee to what is now Adair County, said Carol Savage. She later married Henry Crittenden and they moved to Delaware County where they had five children, she said.
Henry Crittenden is thought to have died in 1865 in the Civil War, Savage said.
Prayers, hymns and a tribute by Savage were read under the hickory tree. Savage is a descendant by marriage and orchestrated the clean up of the cemetery.
Jeff Savage and Carol retired in 2001 and moved to Grove right after Sept. 11, she said.
"I got interested in genealogy and began volunteering at the genealogy department at the Grove Public Library," Savage said.
The 18-by-10-foot plot of land was allotted in 1879, she said.
"The boundary line of the cemetery runs right though an old hickory tree," Savage said.
A Grove family bought the adjoining land in the 1930s' and built a house and shed, she said.
"The shed encroached upon the cemetery," Savage said.
James Crittenden, Electa's son, took care of the family cemetery until his death in 1953, she said.
That is when the cemetery became neglected and the weeds took over, Savage said.
The house was destroyed several years ago and the shed torn down in March and the brush, foliage, and undergrowth were removed voluntarily, Savage said.
"The people in Grove are really wonderful," Savage said. "It was volunteered labor that cleaned the cemetery up."
Savage said plans are to erect a fence around the cemetery.
The Oklahoma Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association also honored Elijah Butler, a circuit-rider preacher and a judge of Delaware District, Dorcas Butler, and Daniel Muskrat on Saturday at Butler Cemetery.

SYDNEY — Australia's highest court on Friday threw out the conviction of a former Portland surgeon accused of the manslaughter of three patients and ordered him to stand trial again, after ruling that conduct by prosecutors had led to a miscarriage of justice.
Jayant Patel, an Indian-born U.S. citizen, was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2010 after being convicted of three counts of manslaughter and one count of causing grievous bodily harm. The accusations related to his work as chief surgeon at a public hospital in Queensland state between 2003 and 2005.
During the trial, prosecutors accused Patel of misdiagnosing patients, using sloppy, antiquated surgical techniques and performing surgeries he'd been banned from undertaking in the U.S.
Patel pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers' appeal of the conviction argued that prosecutors radically and unfairly changed tactics late in the trial.
Patel's conviction came more than 25 years after concerns were first raised in the U.S. about his competency as a surgeon. When colleagues and patients began sounding the alarm about his alleged behavior in Australia, he left the country and returned to the U.S.
In 2008, the FBI arrested him in Portland. He had worked at Kaiser Permanente Hospital, but Kaiser had banned him from liver and pancreatic surgeries in 1998. The Oregon Board of Medical Examiners later cited him for "gross or repeated acts of negligence."
After his arrest by the FBI in 2008, he was extradited to Australia.
A government inquiry initially found that Patel may have directly contributed to 13 deaths at the hospital in Bundaberg, a sugar industry town 230 miles north of Brisbane. By the time the case went to trial, prosecutors had narrowed the case to three counts of manslaughter for the deaths of Mervyn John Morris, James Edward Phillips and Gerry Kemps, and one count of grievous bodily harm for his treatment of Ian Rodney Vowles.
The prosecution initially accused Patel of being incompetent and negligent in three areas: his recommendation of certain surgeries, the way he performed those surgeries, and the care he gave patients after their surgeries. Late in the trial, however, the prosecution narrowed its case to focus only on whether the surgeries should have been performed at all.
In its decision to throw out the conviction on Friday, the High Court in Canberra wrote that it became clear during the trial that Patel had performed the surgeries "competently enough."
"The prosecution then radically changed its case, at a late point in the trial, to focus on the appellant's decision to undertake the surgical procedures," the court wrote. "Much of the evidence about the surgery and post-operative care was prejudicial to the appellant but no longer relevant on the prosecution's revised case."
That evidence prejudiced the jury, resulting in a "substantial miscarriage of justice," the court wrote.
Patel has never spoken publicly about the accusations. He was granted bail within hours of the court ruling.

Patricia from A Little Hut is really skilled at Mod Podging coasters. I have always thought of Mod Podging coasters as taking a tile and gluing a piece of paper on it, but Patricia takes it to the next level. Not only does she use recycled materials in her latest coaster and trivet set, but she uses an XActo to cut out the windows and give the set a very interesting look. You'll have to do some measuring, but the finished project is worth it – you could even hang something like this on the wall. Visit Patricia's project here.
Thanks for sharing, always have awesome art inspiring things to get the creativity flowing.
Have a great day!

Leeds diving star announces retirement
Leeds diving star Hannah Starling has announced her retirement from diving.
The 20-year-old Commonwealth Games bronze medallist, who competed at the London 2012 Olympics, said she had fallen out of love with the sport and instead wants to return to university to study medicine.
Starling, who won bronze in the women's three-metres springboard at Glasgow 2014, wrote: "I was never about the winning, I just cared about enjoying it and being happy, and if I'm not doing that any more then it is time to move on. I've had a good career which I will be ever thankful for. Now it is time to gain new experiences and to apply to Medical school like I have always wanted."
Woman dies after suspected diving accident
A female diver has died and another is being treated in hospital after a suspected diving accident on Yorkshire's East Coast.
A dive boat in Bridlington bay contacted the coastguard at 2.35pm to report that a 60-year-old woman was unconscious.
She was airlifted to hospital in Hull but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Another diver is being assessed and has been taken to a hyperbaric unit as a precaution.
It is believed the two people were involved in a diving accident.
A Maritime and Coastguard Agency spokeswoman said a search and rescue helicopter was sent to the scene from Humberside Airport with an RNLI lifeboat from Flamborough.
Harrogate diver claims bronze in Mexico World Series
Harrogate diver Jack Laugher took bronze in the three-metre Springboard in the final leg of the FINA/NVC Diving World Series in Mexico and was ranked third in the overall rankings.
Jack has been in strong form throughout the season, with the latest medal adding to his impressive tally that also includes a silver from Canada and bronze from Russia. The 19-year-old finished with a score of 504.65 points for his second bronze of the series.
Sheffield divers heading for Youth Olympics
UK Sport have announced their funding programme and there are, of course, both winners and losers. Swimming has suffered a funding cut after delivering only three medals in London, but diving has escaped the cull.
Most of Britain's top divers are based in either Sheffield or Leeds, and so is the next generation of stars as well. In fact three youngsters from Sheffield will be amongst those heading for the Youth Olympics in Sydney in the New Year. Chris Dawkes has been to meet them.
Success for Leeds divers in World Junior Championships
Hannah Starling and Alicia Blagg, who are both members of the City of Leeds diving squad, have won a silver medal in the 3m synchro diving event at the World Junior Championships in Adelaide.
17-year-old Hannah, who is still in the sixth form at the Grammar School at Leeds, also won the first ever World Junior medal for Great Britain in the Girls A Springboard category, taking bronze.
Hannah said, "I felt like there was some expectation because I competed at the Olympics so I decided to go in and just enjoy it, and it worked. I'm really happy with my bronze medal."
Diving success
City of Leeds diver Jack Laugher has won his second gold medal in the space of 24 hours at the World Junior Diving Championships in Adelaide with victory in the 3m springboard syncro alongside partner Tom Daley.
The 17-year-old Ripon diver, who has been tipped as a future world champion by American diving legend Greg Louganis, has now won four junior world crowns.
Daley and Laugher blitzed their rivals with a score of 338.85. Russian duo Ilia Kuzmin and Maxim Popkov were their closest challengers 30.83 behind.

Regional police diving unit set up
City of Leeds duo scrape into diving semi
Becky Gallantree and Hannah Starling scraped through to the semi-final of the women's three-metre springboard at the Aquatics Centre . Gallantree failed to get past the preliminary round in Beijing four years ago but a score of 299.25 was
enough to see her finish 16th and just inside the 18-diver cut. Starling was fractionally behind her fellow Briton with a total of 298.95 placing her 17th. The 17-year-old, the youngest diver in the competition, had been 19th heading into her final
dive but drew scores of seven for her forwards two-and-a-half somersault with one twist to nudge through. City of Leeds duo will, however, have to improve to reach the final with the top 12 set to go through from tomorrow's round.
Robinson-Baker - "Roll on Rio"
Sheffield diver Nick Robinson-Baker and his partner Chris Mears equalled Britain's best ever result when they finished fifth in the 3-metre synchronised diving event at the Aquatics Centre this afternoon.
He bettered his seventh place finish in Beijing.

"Phoenix Park" Phoenix Park Tip by Mikebond
Phoenix Park, Dublin: 48 reviews and 101 photos
Phoenix Park is located just outside Dublin. Its area of 712 hectares make it the largest park of the city and the largest enclosed urban public park in Europe. Its name could come from Fionn Uisce, "Clear water", referring to an ancient source.
The 60-metre obelisk where I am portrayed with some course mates is the Wellington Testimonial, erected by Sir Robert Smirke in 1817 to honour the Dubliner Sir Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), better known as the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon in Waterloo.

This year, the North Hills, California-based label Funk Volume is poised to release numerous projects. Beginning with Jarren Benton's My Grandma's Basement album in early Summer, the label is gearing up for a Dizzy Wright EP, The Second Agreement, and Hopsin's third full-length album, Knock Madness, planned for November 26 of this year.
LA Weekly recently profiled Funk Volume's co-founder Damien "Dame" Ritter. Brother of F.V. artist SwizZz, Dame has built one of the more successful selling and touring fully-independent Hip Hop labels of the 2000s. With artists from Panoroma City, Californa, Las Vegas, Nevada and Decatur, Georgia, Dame revealed that the varying sound and style of Funk Volume is by design. "Every time we bring somebody on [Funk Volume], we hope they capture a different demographic," Dame told the newspaper. "[They have to] have a different sound, a different voice, a different perspective."
A Stanford-educated former analyst at Goldman Sachs, Dame elaborated on the vision for the fully-independent label that (mainly through co-founder Hopsin) has never been afraid to call out peers, whether legendary Gangsta Rap label Ruthless Records and its present-day founder Tomica Woods-Wright or Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator.
Funk Volume has produced two XXL "Freshmen" in Dizzy and Hopsin.
The profile piece pointed out that despite notoriety and success, no one at Funk Volume flaunts their betters in the form of cars, clothes or jewelry.
"I think they're paying their dues," said the label CEO. "And hopefully this road will instill in them a grind that they won't forget."

Nikon 70-200 2.8 vr2 Loud clunk noise when hunting for focus!!??
Hi guys, I just bought the 70 to 200 2.8 Vr II
And for some reason when my camera is set to AF-C 3D
Or AF-C Auto, the Lens sometimes makes a very loud clunk like noise when hunting for focus between multiples subjects especially when m trying outdoor sports and birds in flight or multiple subjects that are close to each other. ! I have no complaint about the IQ and sharpness I did tried VR off so I know is not the vr. When I set the camera to AF-S with 1 single af point the noise is gone! Is anyone experiencing this same noise?
Not even my cheaper lenses make that horrible noise. Thanks!

Odette Akouavi's Group
Odette Akouavi is 35 years old and is married to a hairdresser named Clement. The couple has two children, who are both under their care. The family lives together. The couple together supports the various family expenses. Odette Akouavi did not go to school.
For about the past eight years, Odette Akouavi has been selling Moyo (a local food made with a base of cornstarch accompanied with tomato sauce with fish) in a town in Benin. She procures her goods from a market in Benin.
This first loan will certainly allow Odette Akouavi and her group to increase the level of their business, the number of customers, and their earnings.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

text: Beauty The End Of Chanel No.5? 06 November 2012 Lisa Niven FRAGRANCE - Launched in 1921, and the world's bestselling fragrance ever since the late Twenties, Chanel's famous No.5 fragrance is the perfect olfactory companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous novel. £86 for 100ml; see www.chanel.com for stockists. READ COCO CHANEL'S FASCINATING BIOGRAPHY THE future of Chanel's iconic No.5 fragrance could be at risk, following revelations that it breaches new EU regulations regarding its use of potentially allergy-inducing tree moss. Miss Dior, Guerlain's Shalimar and Thierry Mugler's Angel also feature the substance, which scientists want to restrict in a move which is set to cause panic in the perfume industry. "Chanel No.5 has never done any harm to anyone," said Sylvie Jourdet of the French perfumiers' society. "It is the death of perfume if this continues. The more you use natural ingredients, the more there is a risk of allergies. Lemon, jasmine and bergamot all contain allergenics." According to The Times, scientists also want to restrict the use of 12 substances to 0.01 per cent of the product. These include citral, found in lemon and tangerine oils; coumarin, found in tonka beans; and eugenol, a component of rose oil. The European Commission says that it has no current plans to ban these fragrances, but is nevertheless consulting the industry and consumer groups. Chanel is taking a positive stance on the potential regulations, suggesting that it is willing to tackle the issue if and when it arises. "This proposed change in the rules on certain potentially allergenic ingredients poses a real problem for the entire industry," a spokesperson for the brand told us. "But that is exactly what our nose is for: to use his talents to comply with regulatory obligations and at the same time preserve the olfactory qualities of the perfumes."

NEW YORK — With Andrew Wiggins at No. 1, it was a big night for Canada and Kansas. And it better be the right one for the Cavaliers.
Cleveland went north of the border to open the NBA draft for the second straight year Thursday night, hoping Wiggins works out better than Anthony Bennett.
Thrilled to go first and even happier when Jayhawks teammate Joel Embiid went two picks later, Wiggins beamed in his black tuxedo jacket.
"A thousand thoughts are going through my head right now," Wiggins said. "It's a dream come true."

Bennett was injured last summer, came into the season out of shape and made no impact, one of the reasons the Cavs were back in this spot again.
But Wiggins seems a much more ready product after averaging a Kansas freshman-record 17.1 points. He might have ended up as the top pick anyway, but became the best option for the Cavs when Embiid suffered a stress fracture in his right foot shortly before the draft.
Milwaukee followed with another freshman, Duke forward Jabari Parker. Some consider him the more NBA-ready player after an All-American season for the Blue Devils, and getting to play in Milwaukee puts him near his family in Chicago.
Embiid went third to Philadelphia, drawing loud cheers from the many 76ers fans who made the trip to Barclays Center. The 76ers had two top-10 picks and could afford to take a chance on Embiid.
• Former Virginia All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer Joe Harris from Chelan High School was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round. Harris was the 33rd overall pick.
• Guard Xavier Thames, who started his career at Washington State before transferring to San Diego State, was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the No. 59 overall pick. He reportedly was then traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
• Doug McDermott of Creighton, the college player of the year last season, was taken by Denver at No. 11, then traded to Chicago for two players and a draft pick.
• Charlotte sent the rights to Shabazz Napier, the No. 24 pick who led Connecticut to the national championship last season, to Miami for the rights to former North Carolina guard P.J. Hairston, the No. 26 pick.
• With no picks in this year's draft, the Portland Trail Blazers still made news in offering All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge a maximum contract extension of $108 million for five years.
• The Denver Nuggets acquired veteran guard Arron Afflalo from the Orlando Magic for point guard Evan Fournier and a draft pick.

Touring bikes and commuters are rarer than racing bikes and mountain bikes If you design a bike that tours and commutes maybe the manufacturers will start making them.
Touring bikes and commuters are rarer than racing bikes and mountain bikes If you design a bike that tours and commutes maybe the manufacturers will start making them.
I don't get it, what are you looking for. Many companies now have flat bar road bikes which IMO seem to be a good choice for Commuting and or Touring. For instance my Marin Mill Valler has 700c wheels centilever brakes plenty of room and braze-ons for racks and fenders and larger 700c tires plus a more upright riding position. Anything missing that you need for commuting or touring?
The views expressed by this poster do not reflect the views of BikeForums.net.
It could be.
No. But a touring bike is definately a commuter bike.
And yes. By all means make it a CrossCheck.
There are plenty of bikes on the market now that fit that description. It's not really a rare thing.
For me, the ideal bike that could be used for both commuting and loaded touring would have chainstays at least 18 inches long (to use wide saddlebags), a wheelbase 42 inches long (to soak up rough roads), braze-ons for front and rear racks, braze-ons for fenders, and clearance under the brakes for beefy tires (at least 32mm or larger) plus room for fenders.Originally Posted by 2manybikes
If there are "plenty" of bikes on the market like what I am describing, they are well hidden at Houston bike stores.

My touring bike I use for both touring and commuting..I carry too much stuff to work, I guess...So it works for me.
They are well hidden at most bike stores. For whatever reason, the market seems to have fallen into two categories - MTBs which are often impractical (and almost always inefficient, as spec'ed), or racing bikes. The former seem to come with varying degrees of suspension and knobby tires. Not so hot for a road commute, at best. These may have rack/fender brazeons, but often do not.If there are "plenty" of bikes on the market like what I am describing, they are well hidden at Houston bike stores.
The racing bikes, if they actually do have fender clearance along with clearance for wide enough tires for comfort/durability, often lack braze ons. And almost always lack chainstays with heel clearance.
Either bike is a sub-par commuter.
The alternative, the hybrid, is OK for short commutes and noodling around town, but falls flat for longer commutes.
You can get an LHT or a Cross check or a Soma double cross or a Soma Smoothie ES, but try and find one stocked/built up.
When you consider how much time your average rider spends actually (a) offroad or (b) racing versus the time they could spend profitably commuting, or just running around town with a practical bike, it makes no sense.
From mainstream manufacturers there is the Specialized Sequoia. This seems perfect for commuting, if a little flash to be left unattended on the street.
A commuting bike is one that has wheels. And all the stuff to make the wheels go. That's all that's really needed. I commute to work on a mountain bike, on a touring bike, on a very short and sporty road bike. I've even commuted on a tandem. Commuter bikes don't have to be task specific, they just have to go.
Stuart Black
I ride my Bianchi Volpe 4 miles to work everyday. I also rode it 5,000 miles across the country. I guess if you're totally anal about comfort and weight and all that, then you'll need a different bike for every application... that's good for bike manufacturers, bad for your garage.
So, do they make a commuter bike that's also a touring bike? I think the real question is, will you ride your touring bike to work; will you tour on your commuter?
Yep, 'cos I have one do-all everyday workhorse bike. Get a bike you're happy on every day and there's no reason not to take it on tour!
yup. couldnt of said it better myself. anything can be a commuter or tourer. you could even use a mtb for a road race if you wanted to. you wont win any races, or anything, but you could.Originally Posted by cyccommute
The bike shops stock what sells, and the manufacturers make what sells. There is a lot of overlap for the jobs that different bikes can do. There is a huge amount of overlap of the definition of commuting or touring. There are bikes made and sold as touring bikes. They need to go a long way, be reliable, and safely carry a lot of weight. They make wonderful commuter bikes..
Just about anything can be a commuter bike for someone.
A track bike with no brakes, to an all out down hill bike, to a $10,000 road bike. For me personally a commuter has fenders, a huge mud flap, and is somewhat of a beater bike too not attract to much attention, and so I don't leave my best bikes locked up outside unattended. I use a single speed with fenders, and two or three bikes I bought for a few bucks and added fenders. I can use an mtb with studded tires in the snow and ice.
If I lived in L.A. and could store my bike in my own office, then I could ride an expensive road bike every day, and be happy.
I think this makes it hard to market a bike labeled as mainly for commuting.
Thanks everybody With 16.7 inch chainstays my feet hit the brakes never mind panier clearance. A commuter needs a stronger frame longer chainstays and stronger wheels. The people putting the most stress on the wheels would be people with a child in a safety seat on the back. There was an article in cycling science that tested a lugged joint and a bronzed welded joint and a tig welded joint. The lugged joint was over twice as strong as the tig welded one. A tig welded frame needs bigger tubes the surley uses a 1 x 1/8 seat tube.
My understanding is that welded construction superseded lugged construction simply because it is cheaper mass produce welded bikes. A lugged steel frame will have significantly stronger joints than a welded steel frame of the same quality. Don't know about weight, but that's not very relevant for a tourer/commuter.Originally Posted by Charles Ramsey
Those older touring bikes make great commuters!
Hmm, I was half tempted to trade in my mountain bike for either a LHT or cross-check...so in comparison, what's the differences between them? Can they both use wide tires, riding stance, etc?
FWIW, my current commuter is a road racer, and it really doesnt seem to like the rough roads it's seen the past month. my mountain bike is just not fast enough to deal with traffic, so I'm looking for something in between.
If you want to use fat tires, you need surly's large marge.Originally Posted by catatonic
What is slow about your mtn bike? Mine's slow, but I have fat, agressive tires. If I get off my lazy @ss and actually start commuting I'll put slicks on there. Its pretty easy to tell myself that now ain't the time to start commuting, though it has warmed up to 20° today.
uhh, those are rims for snow tires... unless your commuting across unplowed roads preparing for the iditarod, your gonna NOT want those.Originally Posted by halfbiked
i built my surly crosscheck for about 600-700 bucks total, new frame, used wheelset, and used parts from my garage. i can't imagine anything much more versitile for commuting/touring for 400/500 bucks (except maybe something you find in the trash or used at a thriftshop).
i'd imagine the long haul truckers gotta ride like a cadillac as this bike is pretty damn stable already.
It seems like any touring bike should make a good commuter.Originally Posted by Charles Ramsey
Cyclocross bikes might be worth looking at, I have a LeMond Poprad and that has plenty of clearance for any tire/fender combo you might want and with a rack on the back it seems to work well. I can't use some of the bigger panniers because I have size 14 feet and I kick them. It does have 17" chainstays though and I think you will have to get a touring bike to get longer ones.
Some of the hybrids or 29" mountain bikes look like they might work well if you prefer straight handlebars. I thought the Trek 7700 FX looked pretty good. My brother plans to build a karate monkey for commuting, it should be just about bullet proof.
Those questions and more can be answered at Surly's site. Just look under the Frames section.Originally Posted by catatonic
A brief glance shows the Cross Check taking only 700cm tires, up to 45mm, with fender clearance.
The LHT takes 26" tires up to 2.1", and 700c tires on only the larger sized frames. So the LHT
can take wider tires, but 45mm seems wide to me. Maybe not to some.
The LHT has longer chainstays so you could carry larger panniers without kicking them.Originally Posted by catatonic
