Wrongful Conviction
Mitchell, Jason, Judicature
Wrongful Conviction Wrongful Conviction: Law, Science, and Policy by James R. Acker and Allison D. Redlich. Carolina Academic Press, 2011. 640 pages. $55.00
A casual perusal of recent news of the day as well as the existing literature pertaining to the American criminal justice system will reveal that the subject matter addressed in Wrongful Conviction: Law, Science, and Policy, written by James R. Acker and Allison D. Redlich, has never been more relevant nor more timely. For example, as recently as May 24th, 2012, a gentleman named Brian Banks, with the aid of the California Innocence Project, was exonerated after serving 10 years in prison for a rape he did not commit. An in depth investigation revealed that the young woman lied about the entire incident.
Innocent people being incarcerated continues to be an important problem. Although the number of exonerations continues to increase, the rate at which people are being convicted of crimes far outpaces the rate of exonerations - the majority of which are for rape and murder. Importantly, a preliminary point made by Acker and Redlich is that there exists no legitimate reason to believe that wrongful convictions only occur in these two areas. Instead, Acker and Redlich demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of exonerations pertain to rape and murder because these two crimes lend themselves to definitive determinations of guilt or innocence via DNA testing. Therefore, because the certainty of DNA testing is inapplicable to the vast majority of criminal convictions. Acker and Redlich conclude that the problem of innocent people going to prison for crimes they did not commit is likely to be far greater than the current rate of exonerations would suggest.
In Wrongful Conviction Acker and Redlich essentially set out to demonstrate that the criminal justice system is fraught with potential pitfalls in which an innocent individual can become a wrongfully convicted person. Though the authors make several points and arguments in their text, they specifically highlight two key components of the criminal justice system itself: (1) there exist multiple opportunities for someone to be convicted of a crime they did not commit, and (2) once convicted, the system is concerned more with legal procedure than with actual innocence. With this as their goal, Acker and Redlich systematically set out to prove their thesis. They more than adequately achieve their goal.
Wrongful Conviction guides the reader through the entire criminal justice process beginning with arrest and proceeding to post-trial relief (this ranges between the appellate process and the possibility of clemency). Along the way, Acker and Redlich illustrate how the various individuals entrusted with safeguarding the integrity of the criminal justice system can inadvertently arrest, investigate, prosecute, and convict the wrong person. They demystify both the how and the why of such mistakes. By invoking techniques and scientific methodologies from the social sciences, Acker and Redlich illuminate concepts such as self-fulfilling prophecies, faulty eye-witness identifications, false confessions, and even systemic shortcomings. Acker and Redlich also demonstrate how these concepts, because they are not mysterious, can be anticipated and dealt with in an attempt to curtail the likelihood that innocent people will suffer.
For example, Acker and Redlich do a great job of demonstrating how the police, during the course of their investigations, may focus on one person to the exclusion of others. Because the "police often must make decisions based on incomplete, conflicting, and ambiguous information ... the police can be prone to 'tunnel vision' ..." (p. 28). The authors show how the social sciences have demonstrated that "tunnel vision" is a "compendium of common heuristics and logical fallacies to which we are all susceptible, that lead actors in the criminal justice system to focus on a suspect, select and filter the evidence that will build a case for conviction, while ignoring or suppressing evidence that points away from guilt" (p. …

According to sources, Pentax outlined several conditions for accepting the tender offer, including that the camera maker's management be allowed to maintain its independence for two years or more after becoming a Hoya subsidiary.
Hoya will consider Pentax's conditions and is expected to decide whether to accept them by the end of next week, the sources said.
Watanuki and Suzuki held "constructive talks," a Pentax spokesman said.

Chapter 13 debtors with no personal liability on accelerated loan on principal residence were not allowed to strip the mortgage down to the value of the real estate.
Summary judgment pursuant to doctrine of issue preclusion was not warranted because state court findings did not meet nondischargeability standards set forth in sections 523(a)(2)(A) and (a)(4).
Court abstained from hearing third party complaint for indemnification after plaintiff and defendant stipulated for dismissal of first party cause of action.
Underlying theft by contractor judgment was nondischargeable under sec. 523(a)(4).
Bankruptcy petition preparers were sanctioned for violating sec. 110.
Debtor's counsel was sanctioned $500 for filing chapter 7 petition for debtor who was ineligible for discharge, for sole purpose of delaying garnishment creditor until such time as debtor was eligible for discharge.
Because law firm LLC had not been dissolved, chapter 7 debtor husband's former law firm retained liens in contingent fee contracts the debtor took with him when he left the firm.
State Department of Corrections did not violate the automatic stay when it deducted funds from chapter 7 debtor's prisoner trust account postpetition and applied them against an obligation to pay for medical services received while he was in prison. The obligation was a nondischargeable penalty, as well.
Debtors were not eligible for chapter 13 because their unsecured debts exceeded cap set forth in section 109(e). The debtors' liabilities relating to their personal guarantees of corporate debt were not contingent.
Under doctrine of judicial estoppel, chapter 13 debtor was prohibited from arguing his conduct did not result in a willful and/or malicious injury pursuant to sec. 1328(a)(4), due to his previous state court stipulation that obligation was nondischargeable based on the willful and malicious injury to plaintiff.

From a remove, ABC's "Happy Endings" may sound like your typical "Friends" knock-off with its central ensemble of Chicago pals, but in practice it's quirkier, sharper and in many ways more charming. Take the character of Max (Adam Pally), who is gay, and, in defiance of a long tradition of TV stereotypes, also a slovenly, sports-loving slacker -- something the show has even jokingly congratulated itself on.
In the exclusive clip from the first of tonight's two new episodes below, "The Ballad of Lon Sarofsky," the group urges Max to get a job so that he can stop freeloading off of them. Instead, he enters the "Mr. Gay Gay Chicago" pageant, though he has to enlist Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) and Dave (Zachary Knighton) as his coaches in acting, well, "gay gay" enough.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar returns to play Max's ex-roommate Chase in the second episode, "Un-sabotagable," vowing revenge on Max for having ruined his life, only to decide that Max's life is un-sabotagably pathetic. "The Ballad of Lon Sarofsky" will air tonight, Friday, April 19 at 8pm, with "Un-sabotagable" at 8:30pm, though keep in mind there's a chance the episodes will be preempted for news from Boston.

It is great to know before you go! ClearStay has vacation rental reviews you can believe in. All the reviews displayed here are 100% verified to come from past guests.
From the beginning the experience at the Lighthouse was great. The house has a perfect layout and an amazing view from the deck and pool. We spent every morning and evening in or around the pool. Laura from Milagro was very nice and attentive to our needs.
Some updates could be made to the house, but overall it was perfect for our vacation needs.
Pura vida!!
The view from the house is AMAZING. The house is modern and comfortable. One problem is that the view doesn't have the sunset view.
And the other problem is that the pool is always cold. The management is not as professional as we expected. In general we had a good time but not great.
My group of friends and I had an amazing time at this rental property! The management group was very helpful to all of our issues with the house and their communication was fast and complete! We stayed during their "low season" and had issues with the
water being turned off. Milagro has someone out to the house within 30 mins to fix the issue! They were available at all times through the day. We stayed here based on a recommendation and now we will all recommend this house!
Property was not ready for rental. A thorough inspection should have been performed before my family and I showed up. Upon arrival, the unit was dirty, a heat pump malfunctioned and flooded one of the bathrooms, and some fixtures and door settings weren't
operational. The maintenance crew made several visits to the house to resolve the aforementioned issues. The only saving grace was the effort made by Jana and her team to address and resolve the issues. They were very responsive and attentive. Again, I wish
they were as attentive to the condition of the unit before we arrived.
We have been to Costa Rica a number of times and we always stay at high end villas. The lighthouse villa itself and the views could not have been better but it comes up short on basic amenities that could be very easily and inexpensively rectified. For
example, the lower level bathrooms had very low water pressure and cool to barely luke warm water temperatures. A number of calls to the office and attempts by the maintenance personnel failed to fix the problem. So we took cold showers everyday for four days.
Also, Don't mean to be nick picking but how much does it cost to have a couple of cooking pans in the kitchen. There was only one that was all scratched up and it's hard to make a meal for 5 people with one pan. And also there was basically one bath towel
per guest. Why? When you're on vacation, the last thing on your mind is to save your towel for your shower and pool activities all day. We had to wash our towels everyday. Also every other villa we have stayed at had daily maid service except this one. We
had to pay extra out of pocket to get the maid to come in and do very basic chores like wash dishes. Who wants to wash dishes everyday when your on vacation?
Overall it's a beautiful Villa and the management was very professional but we would've enjoyed our stay more had a few little things been taken care of.
Light House is a wonderful location and a wonderful house. Furthermore then entire administration of this property is very professional. I can warmly recommend this for other people.

(Record-Eagle file photo) Eye operation nears reality By MARTY SOMMERNESS Record-Eagle staff writer GRAWN Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea of government red tape, Marvin Schneider was unable to receive the aid necessary for an operation to save his eyesight. A letter to the editor published in Monday's Record-Eagle and a groundswell of community support may have changed the situation a fund has been set up through Grace Episcopal Church to pay for Schneider's medical expenses and hope is running high that he will be able to enter the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor sometime next week. Mrs. Leonard Clark of Grawn, Schneider's sister, started the grassroots effort when she wrote a letter to the Record-Eagle telling of her brother's inability to get any financial aid to pay for the operation need- ed to save his sight. After the letter's publication, Mrs. Clark received a flood of telephone calls offering assistance. On Friday, four community leaders established the Grace Episcopal Church Special Fund to help pay for Schneider's medical ex- penses. For Schneider, his family and friends, the public response to his problem has been overwhelming. "It's a prayed-for his sister said. According to Robert Wilson of the Traverse City office, of the Michigan Dept. of Social Services, Schneider was caught in the catch-22 of having aid refused him because of the January cur- tailment by the Michigan legislature of the general assistance program and because Schneider was a borderline case he was making just enough money not to fall under the department's guidelines for aid. "Excess income for was the reason Wilson gave for Schneider's inability to receive aid. "It's one of those damnedable marginal things." "They (the department) can help you if you want to lay around and not said Schneider, who works at a local service station. "Just because I didn't have all their so-called papers they wanted, they wouldn't touch me. "But, if I can't work, you might as well take me out and shoot he said. "If you get a job, they ask you if you've had heart trouble, if you have hearing trouble, if you have eye trouble. If you say 'yes, yes, then you can't get the job. I've put in about 60 applications to get this job, and now I've showed my boss that I can do the job." Schneider, who is partially deaf and has a pacemaker because of heart troubles, needs the operation because his sight is deteriorating daily, his sister said. "The cataracts have doubled in size since Marv first went to Dr. said Carolyn friend of the family. "Without my eyesight, my ears are no good to me, because I need to read lips to help my Schneider said. "This is why this operation is so im- portant to me. "Overwhelming would be putting the public's reaction McFarland said. "People are coming back to help- ing one another again. You couldn't get me out of Traverse City, especially now. To say 'thank you' 'just doesn't seem enough, but that's all they want." The Rev. Thomas Stoll, rector of Grace Episcopal Church and one of the administrators of the fund said the fund was experiencing a "time lag" between publicity about the fund and the time when he expects donations will start coming in. got a total of which I don't think means much because I don't I he said. "I guess when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, people still really care- Schneider's sister said. nally explained. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller told reporters in Greensboro, N.C., that the GOP, known for its Southern strategy in past races, this year will "have a strategy that involves other parts of the country." Rockefeller declined to concede the South to Carter but said "it would be very difficult for the Republican party to make any major inroads under the circumstances." JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (UPI) Violence erupted on a third un- iversity campus today, spreading four days of bloody race riots from the-black townships of Johannesburg to the sea. Racial violence since Wednesday has killed 97 persons and injured more than police said, but many officials said those figures were conservative. Police said rioters today tried to burn down the Alan Taylor medical residence for blacks at the University of Natal in Wentworth near Durban, about 400 miles southeast of Johannesburg, on the Indian Ocean. Police also stopped a demonstration by black students trying to march on the Durban city center. -Students attacked campus buildings Friday at the University of Zululand, also in Natal province, and at a univer- sity in Pietersburg, 200 miles north of Johannesburg. Prime Minister John Vorster warned Friday that all universities where "blacks are destroying their own amenities" would be closed in- definitely. In Soweto, the sprawling black township where the violence broke out Wednesday, police reported calm. Friday they fired repeatedly at looters and knife-wielding mobs in eight Johannesburg suburbs where crowds at- tacked government administration buildings. But black civic officials in Soweto said today they expected the tension to die down there "because all the government buildings have been destroyed already, the liquor stores have been looted and there is nothing left to one said. Police issued radio appeals to white store owners in Johannesburg not to sell liquor to blacks. One police spokesman said hard liquor had "run out" in the townships and blacks might try to build up stocks from white-owned stores. Vorster blamed the violence on a "deliberate attempt to bring about polarization between whites and blacks." (In New York, the U.N. Security Council convened Friday night to con- sider a demand by several black African nations that South Africa be condemned for the "callous shooting" of blacks.) More than 1.000 persons, mostly blacks, have been injured, including an unspecified number with bullet wounds. Hospital officials said many were treated for stabbing and clubbing in- juries received in drunken brawls and fights between rival gangs. The death toll surpassed the month- long Sharpeville riots of 1960 when police killed 84 blacks during protests over government orders that blacks carry identification documents at all times. Rioting erupted Wednesday in Soweto, 15 miles south of Johannesburg, after police fired into a crowd of schoolchildren protesting the manda- tory use of the Afrikaans language in teaching some subjects in black schools. Black Soweto officials supported the demonstrations, saying Afrikaans the Dutch-derived language of South Africa's original white is the "language of the oppressors." Ford gets 10 Iowa delegates, Reagan 8 By United Press International President Ford's shaky lead over Ronald Reagan in the GOP presidential race widened by two votes today as a result of a close contest at the Iowa Republican Convention. Republicans in six district caucuses Friday night, at the Des Moines con- vention chose 10 national convention delegates for Ford and eight for Reagan. Eighteen more were scheduled to be picked today from, the convention floor. The Iowa caucuses raised Ford's Fighting delays flight from Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) Heavy fighting along the roads surrounding Beirut today forced a 24-hour post- ponement of a convoy taking hundreds of Americans and Britons out of Lebanon. A British spokesman urged everyone to be ready Sunday for what he said might be the last chance to get out of the city. (In Washington, President Ford arrived at the National Security Affairs office at the White House at a.m. EDT and stayed about 75 minutes. were told adequate security could not be assured along the road by the people who were supposed to be providing the White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said.

Ninety-two uncommitted dele- gates have been chosen, and 241 remain to be picked, including 80 this weekend in Iowa, Washington State, Delaware, Texas and Colorado. Jimmy Carter, meanwhile, stretched his decisive margin in the Democratic race when a poll of delegates to the Tex- as state convention added 21 national delegates to his column. That put his delegate total at 51 more than is needed for the nomination. Carter's headquarters announced he plans to retain Robert Strauss as Democratic national chairman. There had been speculation Carter would drop the Texan. Carter ended a five-day vacation at Sea Island, Ga., and scheduled talks to- day to two church groups the African Methodist Episcopal Church conference in Atlanta and a session of the Disciples of Christ at Lafayette, Ind. Jerry Brown told reporters in Washington he was curtailing his cam- paign for the Democratic nomination and would concentrate on being gover- nor of California. But he said he hadn't abandoned all hope of being nominated. "I recognize the Brown said. "It is obvious to me that Carter, barring some unforeseen circumstance which I will not as yet foreclose seems to have the nomination in hand." Ford canceled a Des Moines trip that would have had him making his first face-to-face campaign encounter with Reagan, electing instead to stay in Washington to keep up with attempts to evacuate Americans from Lebanon. Reagan told Republicans in the Iowa caucuses "I believe I can defeat Jimmy Carter." He then flew to Spokane for the Washington State GOP session. Former Texas Gov. John Connally. frequently mentioned as a GOP vice presidential prospect, told reporters in Fort Worth he hopes he isn't offered the No. 2 spot.

Victor I. Cole, 22, of 301 Ames St., faces first and second degree murder and felony murder charges in the strangulation killing of Pamela A. Basnett, 28, of 201 Lake St., Elk Rapids, whose naked body was found in her Bass Lake cottage nine days ago by a neighbor. She had been dead for three days. Cole, who was arrested Thursday, has been under suspicion in Basnett's death since police said they first learned Fri- day a week ago, that he had been in the divorcee's cottage only hours before her death. Prosecutor James G. Young, of Antrim County, asked for the three murder charges. Felony murder, he said, is one associated with the com- mission of another crime, Basnett, an attractive brunette whose legs were crippled in an accident, was found with a nylon stocking tied around her neck. She had been sexually abused, police said. Found clad in a bikini with the top pulled down around her waist, police said they suspect the killing was sexual- ly motivated. Judge E. Patrick Murray who will preside over a hearing next Wednesday in 87th District Court ordered Cole held without bond at a closed hearing in the Antrim County jail. Murray appointed attorney Jack Unger, of Bellaire, who has represented Cole before, to act as defense counsel at the'Wednesday hear- ing set for p.m. in Bellaire at the Michael Dively, the state's new energy chief, addressed regional planners Fri- day and told them that gasoline prices continue to rite.

In late 1974 he was sentenced to 90 days for reckless use of a rifle for shooting a motorist in the face with a .22 'cal.'Tifle Cole" said, he was hunting along U.S. 31 north of Elk Rapids. In Aug., 1975, he was sentenced in Cir- cuit Court to 90 days in jail on a malicious destruction conviction for his role in the attempted sinking of a boat owned by Police Chief Jack Blesma of Elk Rapids. Cole's jail history was obtained from court records. Sheriff pred Backstrom, who runs the county 'jail, said Cole always was a quiet, model prisoner who earned time off in each of his jail terms for good behavior. Young, who guided air intensive in- vestigation which began June 10, the day Basnett's body was found, credited police chief Blesma, a three-man team of Region 10 East detectives and state police detectives from Traverse City for their round-the-clock work which led to Cole's arrest Thursday. To verify if the victim had been raped as police said they suspect, Basnett's body will be exhumed Sunday under court order and transported to Sparrow Hospital, Lansing, to undergo a second autopsy. Dr. Lawrence Simson, one of the few certified criminal pathologists in the state, Young said, has agreed to perform further scientific tests. An autopsy done June 11 at Munson Medical Center, without police obser- vation, police said did not provide enough details into the nature of the 'killing.

Plan body mulls ouster- of Rowden By DAVID HAYES Record-Eagle staff writer TRAVERSE CITY The executive committee of the Northwest Michigan Regional Planning and Development Commission will meet July 2 to again consider the dismissal of the cam- mission's executive director, Billy 6. Rowden. The full commission voted ii'ri- animously Friday morning to tem- porarily delegate the authority to deal with staff problems to the executive committee. The motion had been, presented to the full commission by its: "Troubles" Committee, formed to study staff problems and the delegation of commission authority. The commission bounced the staff problem issue back to the executive committee, which met in a closed door executive session Friday to discuss the commission's resolution. Following the meeting, several committee members said the executive committee hact agreed to meet July 2 to reconsiders our major staff problems, including the: staff problem we considered at our last- meeting." During the meeting, commission members discussed a recent decision by the Antrim County Board of Com- missioners to" halt" funding of The regional planning clearinghouse unui "abuses" had been corrected. Antrim County is the second of the commission's 10 counties to announce that it would not financially support the commission. Charlevoix County also has withheld its share of commission funding as a result of the controversy. In addition, both Emmet -and Charlevoix counties have approved resolutions calling for Rowden's resignation. The problem, commission members say, is the result of a rift between Rowden and the commission's former law enforcement planner and law en- forcement advisory council. The rift developed after a still unsettl- ed dispute between Rowden, who in the past has received the backing of most commission members, and the state Of- fice of Criminal Justice Programs .over, the percentage of law enforcement, planning grants which can be charged; for salary, maintenance, office and' other costs by the commission. The full commission, at a meeting July 4, rejected a motion to ask for: Rowden's resignation. Margot Power, a member of the com- mission from Leelanau County and head of the commission's Administratibhfpr; "Troubles" Committee, called resolutions presented to the full com-.: mission "crisis needs that had tpjje met." The committee's first recommen- dation, that the commission's authority over personnel be "temporarily" transferred from Rowden to the ex- ecutive committee until the mission's rules and regulations are changed, resulted from the com- mittee's "fuzziness, indistinct responsibility." Power said the action would "put the responsibility in one place. "A second' resolution presented by the troubles committee and approved Friday tablished a committee, with one member from each county, to "look into the purpose of the commission, its relationship to local government, its structure and procedures." Commission ..members would not comment when.asked Friday if the ex- ecutive committee meeting' July 2 would be open to the public. ;

Apple predicted that 10 million customers will pay at least $499 to buy an iPhone next year because they realize most free mobile phones...
Apple predicted that 10 million customers will pay at least $499 to buy an iPhone next year because they realize most free mobile phones are worthless.
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone. Guess why? That's what it's worth," Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook said Wednesday at a conference in Las Vegas. Some wireless providers win customers by offering phones that lack the latest features free with service contracts.
The iPhone, scheduled to ship in June in the U.S., combines Apple's best-selling iPod music and video player with a mobile phone that offers Internet and e-mail access. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs said in January that Apple expects the iPhone to capture 1 percent of mobile-phone sales.
"This will be a big piece of the Apple story for years to come," Cook told attendees at the Goldman Sachs Group technology conference. "If we offer something that has tremendous value, that is sort of this thing people didn't have in their consciousness — it was not imaginable — then I think there's a whole bunch of people that will pay $499, $599."

When asked how the company estimated the market of opportunity for the iPhone, Cook said Apple rejected traditional approaches that call for comparing the product to devices sold in a similar price range. Apple plans to offer two iPhone models priced at $499 and $599.
"That kind of analysis doesn't make really great products," Cook said. "The iPod would not have been brought to market if we would have looked at it that way — how many $399 music players were being sold at that time?"
Up to 75 percent of U.S. iPhone buyers probably will be first-time subscribers to AT&T's mobile-phone service, AT&T Chief Financial Officer Rick Lindner said Wednesday. The phones will only work on AT&T's wireless network, formerly known as Cingular Wireless.
"The majority of those customers, two-thirds to three-fourths, will be coming from outside of our current wireless customer base and that's a good thing," Lindner said during a speech at a Merrill Lynch conference in New York. AT&T is the largest U.S. phone company and its mobile-phone unit is the biggest U.S. wireless carrier.
The iPhone is likely to draw more customers to AT&T stores "at the launch and throughout the rest of the year," Lindner said. "Creating more traffic in the stores means more sales."
Apple has sold more than 90 million iPods since Jobs released the player in October 2001, helped by new, smaller, higher-capacity designs, Cook said. Apple shipped a record 21.1 million players during the 2006 holiday season. It's too early to tell whether the iPhone will damp demand for the iPod, he said.
"These are being sold for a wide variety of usages, there's a wide variety of form factors, wide variety of capacities, and wide variety of price points," Cook said. "We'll just see what happens."

You might think that if you collected together a list of naturally-occurring numbers, then as many of them would start with a 1 as with any other digit, but you'd be quite wrong. Jon Walthoe explains why Benford's Law says otherwise, and why tax inspectors are taking an interest.
Images based on Lyapunov Exponent fractals are very striking. Andy Burbanks explains what Lyapunov Exponents are, what the much misunderstood phenomenon of chaos really is, and how you can iterate functions to produce marvellous images of chaos from simple mathematics.
Almost everyone reading this article has no doubt encountered pictures from the Mandelbrot Set. Their appeal is not limited to the mathematician, and their breathtaking beauty has found its way onto posters, T-shirts and computers everywhere. Yet what is a fractal?
For millennia, puzzles and paradoxes have forced mathematicians to continually rethink their ideas of what proofs actually are. Jon Walthoe explains the tricks involved and how great thinkers like Pythagoras, Newton and Gödel tackled the problems.
David Spaughton and Anton Merlushkin work for Credit Suisse First Boston, where they provide traders in the hectic dealing room with software based on complicated mathematical models of the financial markets. PASS Maths interviewed them at their offices in Canary Wharf in London.

How well you describe an image determines how often the search engine remembers it while searching. The trick is to appear in relevant searches; getting in front of the right eyes makes or breaks an image. Bloating up your keywords to squeeze into searches where you don't belong will only irritate members who want to find something specific. With 400,000 members searching every day, someone wants to find your image. Here's how to help them.
What is it?:
Describe the subject of your image. You have 50 words to describe all the pertinent details, and the more specific you are, the more likely your image is to be found by the right searches. What is it? Is it a forklift, in a warehouse, moving crates? Two red tulips, close up, beaded with water? A young, energetic, African-American woman, in a business suit, talking on a cell phone, against a white background? Then be sure to tell the search engine.
Describe Everything: Be Specific:
Be very specific about the subject. For images of people, include physical characteristics, ages, ethnicity, emotion, and mood. Is the woman grumpy? Is the police officer overweight, or even obese? Is the model effeminate?
Use a few of your keywords for everything happening in your image; each of the primary subjects, the background, the action. Your image is like a sentence; be sure to include each of the nouns (the things in the image) and each of the verbs (what they're doing) as well as the situation. Imagine you are a newspaper journalist, asking questions about the scene, and answer, who, what, how, why, when and where.
The keywords for this image are:
adult attractive beautiful beauty black catchy chick emotion eye fashion fashionable fashioned female feminine gaze gentle girl gorgeous hair haircut hairstyle head hot isabel lady look lovely lusty model natural nice perfect piercing portrait pretty pure seductive sesy stare stunning style teen teenage teenager tempting thinking white woman women young
The keywords anticipate every angle that someone might describe this character from. We know exactly who she is and what she's doing. People with this scene in mind will find this image, because of the keywords.
Of course, there is a law of diminishing returns. Relevancy is the key. Learn to avoid the unnecessary and won't get into trouble with keyword clutter. Here's a good example of knowing what to include, and what to leave out:
The artist could have included keywords like cloud, insect, hand, foot… these things are in the picture, but none of them are key elements. Sky, jumping, meadow, businessman – those are the important ones. Avoid the temptation to run off at the mouth.

T his historically cold winter has made it extremely difficult for ships traveling across the Great Lakes.
M ore than 70 percent of the lakes are covered with ice and when our waterways freeze , it's the Coast Guard's job to clear the way for commerce.
I ce breaking is a way of life for the 17 man crew of the Cutter Biscayne Bay.
T hey have been out on the Great Lakes since early December and they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.
"I ce season just came fast and it hasn't stopped and we don't anticipated stopping until probably the middle to end of May," Mike Singleton, ice cutter crew member said.
Friday they travel ed across the Straits of Mackinaw, then down through Lake Michigan.
T hey will be clearing a path through the ice to escort ships , carrying natural resources . W hich can prove to be a difficult task.
"We w ill have to back the ship up and go as fast as we can and ran the ice move up over the ice and break it and hopefully continue going ," Singleton said.
T here are nine cutters constantly ramming through the ice on these lakes.
A nd even though these shipping lanes look open for business , within hours they will close back up.
"E ven though we break the tracks during the day they freeze up overnight ," Tom Przybyla, Bisbayne Bay Captain said. "T ough enough the ships can't through so we have to go back and loosen the tracks ."
M aking sure the ships get through is essential to our economy. G reat Lakes shipping generates more than two billion dollars each year.
A nd so far we're off to a slow start .
B ut they hope their luck will change in the coming weeks , with spring-like weather hopefully on the horizon.

WASHINGTON: For those of us with a certain political bent and background, this is the most depressing moment of all. The best of the GOP — Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan, the intellectually serious reformicons who have called attention to issues of poverty and the need for Republican outreach — are bending their knee to the worst nominee in their party's history. Ryan drags himself slowly. Rubio eventually went with a quick Band-Aid pull. But the largest political choice each man has made this year will be one of the worst mistakes of their careers.

Stayed for one night. It's a guest house so don't expect anything loud or crazy. Staff don't speak much English and room had a fan but was still hot. Private room was good and clean, good location but you can get other hostels on the same street for cheaper so I transferred.

Not a bad place at all but from the previous reviews I read prior to my visit it seems like they've let themselves slide a bit. A helpful lady that barely spoke any English took care of me when I arrived. We worked through it though and I had a nice comfortable stay in an A/C room for the night. The next morning when I arrived back from breakfast the power was out.

A law-enforcement officer used a detailed questionnaire and keywords from the job description to tailor his resume for a federal government job.
By Don Sears
Paying attention to what an employer is telling you about a job opening may be the key to filling it.
But where do you find what's important to an employer?
"When perusing a job posting, look specifically at the job description," said Dan Doratik, a certified resume writer who works with TheLadders. "Most people spend too much time looking at the qualifications when they should be focused on the description."
Why? Because the description is where you can examine the details of the ideal job candidate for a given position.
And with that, you can customize your resume for that job.
Consider Paul McGowan, a veteran law-enforcement specialist who hadn't had his resume done professionally since 2002. This was a long time for this senior-level internal-affairs investigator, who was angling for a specific city-government job posting on a deadline and wanted a new resume quickly. His resume was a problem. It was a functional resume with a profile that included a 28-line summary with no white-space separation.
"Not to be overly critical, but this thing put a reader to sleep pretty quickly," Soratick said. "He needed some help in getting this thing really targeted for this job. Luckily I've had a lot of federal resume experience, and I understand the significance of targeting the job description and being detailed."
Federal, state and municipal government resumes tend to require long, detailed information ; need to be keyword rich; and are often graded , Doratik explained. Grading systems in resumes can look for very specific repetition of job-description language, and if not's there, it doesn't make it past the first round of looks.
"Government human resources can be, to put it bluntly, anal," Doratik said. "I once worked on a resume that was rejected because it did not have the ZIP code of the high school this person graduated from."
To add detail and uncover McGowan's accomplishments, Doratik had him answer a questionnaire that went beyond his job responsibilities and discover the results of his work. With that, Doratik was able to add context to his accomplishments and responsibilities and expand job descriptions with certifications and detail that might not fit in a private-sector resume. He expanded the job descriptions and summary with keyword phrases he pulled directly from the job description for the specific position McGowan sought.
For private-sector jobs , which require thinner, more -direct resumes, Doratik left McGowan with suggestions on where to where to cut the job descriptions and rely on a resume addendum to provide the detail when necessary.
Dovarik also fixed issues with the resume format: incomplete dates and bullet points that stretched to three lines.
"You still need to make them as readable as possible," Doratik said. "That means a certain amount of white space and design principles, the appropriate language and grammar for the resume type, and sticking to what the employer is telling you they want to see."
"The overall presentation was a fantastic job," McGowan said. "It has more impact now... Between the layout and the word usage, this is something much more dynamic than I had anticipated."
"This new resume presents a full, complete record of what I bring to the table, " he said. "The old one I had done read like a data sheet . The new one grabs you."

Rand Paul has said numerous times that the Medicare deductible should be raised to $2,000. (A video of this was shown Oct. 4 on WHAS11). This is a lot of money coming out of your pocket every year. If you have a spouse, their deductible will be $2,000 also, equaling $4,000 per year.

We first talked lovingly about Sharp's amazing 32-inch 3,840-by-2,160-pixel display in November, but now that we've gone hands-on, we got a full-on crush. Called the "PN-K321", the $5000 display is aimed at medical imaging professionals and high-end image/video professionals.
And me, obviously.
To be honest, the gallery, taken with Canon's new 6G DSLR, doesn't do it justice. Please, Apple: Here is your next iMac Retina and Thunderbolt display.
These displays aren't just beautiful. The IGZO technology also uses a fraction of the power required for today's LCDs. While most of the power used is still in the LED backlighting, the IGZO pixels save a great deal of power —as much as 90 percent vs. traditional displays— and can still stay on even after the machine has powered down, something great for photoframe-type functionality.
Apple decided to not go with Sharps' IGZO displays for its latest round of iPad launches. It instead sourced display components from AU Optronics, LG Display, and Samsung, but several reports in the past indicated Apple is interested in the technology. Apple was even recently rumored to be potentially making an investment in the failing company—much like Apple partner Foxconn previously agreed to.
Sharp also has some other fun stuff on display that could wind up in Apple products, including:

A stock exchange is a form of exchange which provides services for stock brokers and traders to trade stocks, bonds, and other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for issue and redemption of securities and other financial instruments, and capital events including the payment of income and dividends. Securities traded on a stock exchange include shares issued by companies, unit trusts, derivatives, pooled investment products and bonds.
To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it must be listed there. Usually, there is a central location at least for record keeping, but trade is increasingly less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of increased speed and reduced cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only.
The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. A stock exchange is often the most important component of a stock market. Supply and demand in stock markets are driven by various factors that, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks (see stock valuation).

Surely the other OEMs are releasing cameras to answer the great success of the RX100.
Which just or soon to be released models do you think are answers to the RX100?
I think it's more likely that we'll see the other manufacturers drop the prices on their existing products (LX7 seems to be down already) instead of trying to compete directly with the RX100.
Designing a new camera isn't done overnight, I'm not sure we'll see true RX100 competitors until next fall when the new models usually come out. What I do think will happen is that the companies like Panasonic who usually goes for a refresh every other year will push it forward to releasing new models next fall instead of waiting until 2014.

I have a problem with noisy pipes. When I run the water in the kitchen sink, my bathroom sinks (up and downstairs), it is followed by a loud moan from the sinks and a few minutes later. I have to turn the sinks fully on the keep the moan from happening while I have the water on. I thought that a weak valve in the washing machine was the problem, I recently replaced the watching machine and the problem appear to be worse.
I left home for a week on vacation and turned of the water and drained the pipes. When I returned home, I turned on the water to the 2nd floor kitchen sink to open it up before I turned the water on and water begin to run even though the water was still off. I am trying to figure out why all of the water would settle on the second floor kitchen sink area.
I have lived in the home since 2000 and never had a problem with noisy pipes until recently. I purchased a new dishwasher last May, but the noise started in the fall.
In December 2005, I left home turned off the water and drained the pipes only to return to find my washing machine full of water and water all over the floor. This is why I assumed the washing machine was the culprint, but this year the water was on the second floor. I turned off the water supply to the washing machine.
I can't figure out what the problem is. With a new washing machine, there couldn't possible be a weak valve. I suspect the dishwasher, but it is new also. Do I need to call a plumber to get to the bottom of this.
The problem disappear for about a month, but has now returned ever worse.

LYNDEN — I've been a rather vocal critic of Peter Jackson's decision to split his adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" into three movies rather than the originally planned two-parter.
However, there was a small glimmer of hope in the obvious cash grab. Jackson makes long movies, and I figured this was his chance to give us three lean, two-hour stories that would tie together nicely.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," the first film in Jackson's prequel trilogy, is not a lean two hours. At two hours and 40 minutes, it's almost as long as "The Fellowship of the Ring," which was based on the first part of a trilogy tome that exceeds 1,200 pages of printed story. "The Hobbit" clocks in at around 300 pages, depending on the edition you read. Do the math.
Walking out of the new RPX theater at the Barkley Regal early Friday morning, I found myself surrounded by people from Lynden, all of whom seemed to be gushing about what they had just watched. I must have missed something very big, because I didn't see a good movie that night.
This first "Hobbit" movie follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman, playing a young version of Ian Holm's Bilbo) as he haphazardly joins Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen, reprising his role) and a group of dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, also known as Erebor, from the dragon Smaug.
The casting here is utterly delightful on almost every count, from Freeman's wonderfully reluctant Bilbo to the always-great McKellen. Each and every one of the dwarves is perfectly cast as well. Andy Serkis reprises his role as Gollum in the famous "Riddles in the Dark" sequence, in which Bilbo comes upon the Ring for the first time. It's the best scene in the movie, and the interactions between Bilbo and Gollum rank right up with the best Gollum scenes in "The Lord of the Rings."
It's truly a shame that the rest of the movie around that scene can't stack up. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" initially suffers from an overlong introduction that made me long for a little action to give us a break from so much exposition. When the action finally did start, however, I longed for it to stop.
Remember the scene in "The Return of the King" in which Legolas climbs a mumak (oliphaunt) and shoots a bunch of Haradrim soldiers off with his bow before taking down the creature itself, sliding down its head and ramping off its trunk as the hulking animal faceplants? It was the most cartoonish scene in the entire trilogy, but it worked quite well as a crowd-pleaser because Jackson had refrained from being that ridiculous elsewhere in the saga.
Almost all of "The Hobbit" action sequences feel like that, and there are many of them. The scenes are pure and utter chaos, with coincidence playing as much of a role as anything else in their outcomes. Watching "The Hobbit" feels like watching its characters run from one action set-piece to the next, with invented conflicts interspersed throughout for good measure.
I understand that "The Hobbit" reads like a children's book, especially when compared to Tolkien's larger "Lord of the Rings," and that this was certainly taken into consideration when crafting this movie. I wasn't expecting a dark affair, but something this cartoony and ridiculous seems to clash with the greater world in which it is set. Jackson goes out of his way to connect this story with "The Lord of the Rings," even going so far as to bring back Cate Blanchett and Christopher Lee as Galadriel and Saruman, respectively, to flesh out the coming darkness.
Radagast the Brown shows up here, even though he was only mentioned in the book. He's an animal-loving wizard who rides a rabbit-sled, and his part in the film is completely unnecessary and also very cheesy. It doesn't add anything of value to the proceedings, and the movie could have been better and shorter without him.
Also of note is the film's 48-frames-per-second projection, which I certainly didn't hate like many other critics did. There's a bright vibrance about the movie that feels distinctly different from the others in the series, but it didn't break the experience for me. There are far bigger issues to worry about when taking this "Unexpected Journey."
Luckily, the upside here is that we have two more films to improve on this formula. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is an overstuffed mess. It's chaotic to watch, though the "Riddles in the Dark" sequence is a standout. The story here does not lend itself well to a single film, but we do have Smaug and the Battle of Five Armies to look forward to in the next two movies.
The Tolkien faithful will no doubt seek out this movie, or already have. Many I talked to found the movie delightful, so perhaps others will too. I didn't buy into Peter Jackson's latest, however, and I can only hope that the next two movies can redeem this overstuffed, muddled and chaotic mess.

Padres' draft: Positional needs take back seat
The pressure was on Jaron Madison even before he was hired to be the Padres' director of scouting Dec. 18.
Upon being named the Padres' general manager nine weeks earlier, Jed Hoyer said the future success of the franchise was dependent on scouting and player development.
Now the clock is ticking down to Madison's first draft.
The Padres will be up at the No. 9 slot a week from today.
"We're going to get a good player with that pick," Madison said Saturday while discussing his first draft. "I just can't tell you who that is going to be yet."
The Padres have an idea. They have a list. And the leaders of the scouting department will be assembling in San Diego today for a week of meetings going over their lists in preparation for that pick.
But the Padres have no idea who will be taken with the eight picks in front of them.
It was easier last year when the Padres had the third pick. Only two players went before they selected high school outfielder Donavan Tate. The first of those was Stephen Strasburg at No. 1 to the Washington Nationals.
"The farther you are back in the line, the more variables you face and the more you have to be prepared to adjust," Madison said. "It's the price you pay for doing a better job on the field."
Three players have already been connected to the Padres' first-round pick — Ball State second baseman Kolbrin Vitek, Florida high school third baseman Nick Castellanos and University of Texas-Arlington corner outfielder Michael Choice.
But Madison said it was premature to connect names to the pick. And those three players don't necessarily fit with some thoughts Madison shared about the Padres' draft philosophy and this year's draft.
"We want position players with offense, defense and athleticism," Madison said. "We look to the middle of the field, draft up the middle. You don't want to draft too many left fielders and first basemen.
"And you can never have too much pitching, as Kevin Towers proved last year with those trades and moves that stocked this organization with a lot of solid arms."
Catching is another priority for the Padres, although catchers have been hard to find in recent drafts.
The No. 1 prospect in this year's draft is a catcher, Bryce Harper, who opted out of his last two years in high school to position himself to be the No. 1 pick of the Washington Nationals.
"Every year, every team is scratching trying to find catching," Madison said. "Catchers and left-handed pitchers. Catchers usually go higher than they should because of the lack of depth at the position — which is why you look at infielders who could go to catcher."
As for this year's draft:
"It's weak in college position players and arms," Madison said. "It's loaded with high school position players and arms. There is a lot of high school talent in Texas, Florida and Southern California."
Madison said the Padres will be drafting the best players available and not based on positional needs. "You can't count on one player," he said.
The Padres will not have any supplemental picks this season. After getting the ninth player in the draft, they won't have their next pick until No. 59. Their third pick will be the 91st in order. After that, they will have the 30th subsequent picks (91, 121, 151, etc.) through 50 rounds.
"We're working just as hard on the third through 50th rounds as the second," Madison said. "It's why we added extra scouts (Hoyer expanded the department from 14 to 21 scouts).
