Skip to comments.The Wichita Massacre
Posted on 07/16/2002 10:49:48 AM PDT by Orual
The crime-and motive-the media ignored.
On September 9, Reginald Carr and his brother Jonathan go on trial for what has become known as the Wichita Massacre. The two black men are accused of a week-long crime spree that culminated in the quadruple homicide of four young whites in a snowy soccer field in Wichita, Kansas. In all, the Carr brothers robbed, raped or murdered seven people. They face 58 counts each, ranging from first-degree murder, rape, and robbery to animal cruelty. Prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
The only survivor of the massacre is a woman whose identity has been protected, and who is known as H.G. In statements to police and in testimony at an April 2001 preliminary hearing, the 25-year-old school teacher offered horrible details of what happened on the night of Dec. 14, 2000. That evening, a Thursday, H.G. went to spend the night at the home of her boyfriend, Jason Befort. Mr. Befort, 26, a science teacher and coach at Augusta High School, lived in a triplex condo with two college friends: Bradley Heyka, 27, a financial analyst, and Aaron Sander, 29, who had recently decided to study for the priesthood.
When H.G. arrived with her pet schnauzer Nikki around 8:30 p.m., her boyfriend Mr. Befort was not there, but the two roommates were. A short time later, Mr. Sander's former girlfriend, Heather Muller, a 25-year-old graduate student at Wichita State University who worked as a church preschool teacher, joined them. At about 9 p.m., H.G. went to her boyfriend's ground-floor bedroom to grade papers and watch television. Mr. Befort came home from coaching a basketball practice around 9:15, and at 10:00, H.G. decided to go to bed. Before joining H.G in bed, Mr. Befort made sure all the lights in the house were turned off and all the doors were locked. Mr. Sander was sleeping on a couch in the living room while his former girlfriend slept in the second ground-floor bedroom. Mr. Heyka slept in a room in the basement.
Shortly after 11 p.m., the porch light came back on, to the surprise of Mr. Befort, who was still awake. H.G. says that seconds later she heard voices, then shouting. Her boyfriend cried out in surprise as someone forced open the door to the bedroom. H.G saw "a tall black male standing in the doorway." She didn't know how the man got into the house, and police investigators have not said how they think the Carrs got in.
Speaking of disgusting talk-show hosts, where's Ron Kuby? Why isn't he all over this with the "black rage" defense? Especially since he missed his chance to try it out in the Colin Ferguson case...
See Ann Coulter's book on Liberal Lies for why this is not national news with direct calls for immediate capital punishment upon conviction.
Because you first heard about this story on a questionable website rather than the Chicago or Washington papers it makes it less credible? Tell that to the four dead people.
I've been patiently waiting for updates on this case.
Did your local paper cover this story? Probably not. We urge you to call the editor and ask him to cover the trial, which begins on Sept. 9. [One listing of newspaper websites is at www.newspapers.com]
The importance of the article, I think, is to publicize a vicious crime and to point out the irrefutable fact that it has not received the same media coverage it would have had the races been reversed. The author also speculates on what might have happened if it had been a white-on-white crime or a black-on-black crime.
Oh, I don't even hear his explanation for how the website is "questionable." I would challenge him right now to comb through the info on that site - which is a priceless source on this subject, by the way - and explain exactly how their facts are in error.
Then when he can't, tell him to take his "guilt by association" intellectual laziness over to Salon or DU.
Did the article get something wrong? Do tell.
Excuse this diatribe but..... yesterday this man gave a blurb about "we will go to the limit"- he said that they will "test the limits with the exploration of news". He went on with a pious declaration of how CNN would not descend to sensationalism. He said though, that they would seek out and bring news to the public. News that others dare not. Aaron Brown- anyone? Reminds me of a case about four years ago. Five white teenagers jumped on a freight train for a lark, they jumped off in the "wrong" neighbourhood in Flint, Michigan. A girl was raped and either she or a companion was killed.
A very solid man, a black truck driver, rescued the surviving teens- God love him. The criminals were young blacks. A racist crime, yes. The press? Silence was golden generally. Got it on the Michigan T/V- I think ,though. If only there were some coming together of right thinking blacks and whites. Hey, the white dominated press do not want it.
Yes it seems so.
Seems to have worked for Jackson, Sharpton, Bond, Farrakhan, King, Fissel Grey, on add - nausea.
Could have also thrown in a few hundred whites that fit the bill but didn't want you to feel good.
When a crime of the nature and magnitude of
this one are so severely underreported, you have
to ask yourself why. The answer is enough to
overwhelm your knee-jerk racist(?) remark.
This sounds to me like another glaring example of the blatant double standards existent in the government's ridiculous "hate crime" categorizations. If two white males were caught on a rampage like this, and if their victims were all minorities - blacks, asians, hispanics, muslims, or homosexuals - we would be inundated with constant coverage by the mainstream media.
Did the article get something wrong? Do tell.
I wasn't questioning the article's veracity, as I have no way of telling if the report is accurate or not. That said, the facts seem to generally corroborate with other reports; the problem I have is with the spin placed on those facts.
Skeptical? Go to the American Renaissance site and do the reading there. Follow their links. Google on the authors of the articles, the books reviewed, etc. See if those things don't turn up an organization with a serious racial axe to grind.
Possibly, I have no interest in AR. But the article taken by itself represents a legitimate point of view. Certain public servants, public figures and the national media have conducted themselves in a hypocritical & thoroughly disgusting manner regarding these murders.
Yeah, in fact I would. That is, if I had the slightest idea what the New Amsterdam News was.
>If a white on black crime is reported on BET instead of
>CBS or CNN does it make it less of a crime?
That's a silly question. Of course not. I find the source's motivation to be highly suspect, and they spin the crime quite blatantly. Take the following quotation from the article:
It is true that Reginald Carr had a white girlfriend, and it may be that the race of the victims was unimportant to him. At the same time, Jonathan Carr wore a FUBU sweatshirt, a brand popular with black rappers that is said to stand for "For Us, By Us." Some blacks wear FUBU clothing as a statement of black solidarity if not outright rejection of whites.
Never mind that one psycho had a white girlfriend, the other guy had a FUBU shirt on!! He must be a racist! Puhleeze.
So suddenly we go from "two black males commit horrible racially-motivated massacre" to "two black males commit horrible massacre." Still a disgusting crime, for which these two bastards richly deserve death, but probably not racially motivated.
I suppose I should give the article's author credit for even mentioning the discrepancy in the first place. Frankly, it surprised the hell out of me.
By the way, when I was attacked by a black gang in Landover, MD and beaten with baseball bats for no reason (other than my race) a few years ago, I was totally unable to get the story covered by the local media. So I can easily believe what this story says about a media blackout. And now there is a whole book on the subject, William McGowan's Coloring the News.
That's certainly intelligent.
You seem to be angry that a heinous black on white crime is getting some attention.
Hardly. If you'd bothered to read my postings instead of just going off half-cocked like a dumbarse, you'd notice that I think these bastards oughta fry.
Sorry brother,
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why the emphasis on "brother?"
but the reality is that black on white crime is far more common than the reverse,
...and black-on-black crime is worse than both put together. SFW. and is going to be brought up a lot more than before thanks to fine web sites such as this no matter how much you leftists moan and bitch.
Get a grip, Hoss. Have a beer. Relax.
Please, read before posting. I didn't dispute the facts. I just disliked the spin that the report put on the crime, straining very hard to frame it as a racially-motivated crime, when there's (at this point) no evidence to suggest it is.

I have four new (to me) sticks of Kingston 1Gb 400Mhz DDR2. Three of them boot fine individually in slots 1 or 3, but not in slots 2 or 4. The fourth does not boot in any slot.
The three working ones do not boot in any combinations of slots.
Working combinations:
1234 (channel numbers)
Non-working combinations:
1234 (channel numbers)
1111 (naturally, as one stick seems duff)
However, with my old memory, a single 1Gb 667Mhz DIMM, the computer will boot no matter which channel I put the DIMM in. Any combinations of new and old also fail to boot.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M52L-S3P gigabyte page. Page 15 of the manual (pdf) says that both DS/SS are useable in the usual 1&2 or 3&4 pairs, or in all four slots.
My question is similar to Can't get memory sticks to work together, except that even combinations of known-good DIMMs do not work, and similar to Memory works fine separately, but not together, except that I can't boot the faulty stick to change the BIOS settings for it.

Clermont snapped Grenoble's home-winning streak of 25 games with a hard-fought 17-10 victory in Top 14 action on Saturday.
Despite missing a host of players away on international duty for the Six Nations, Clermont's visit nonetheless attracted a 20,000-strong crowd in cold, snowy conditions.
Clermont, themselves also holders of an admirable home record, scored two tries either side of half-time through wingers Napolioni Nalaga and former All Black Sitiveni Sivivatu, fly-half David Skrela converting both and hitting a penalty.
Grenoble's sole try came from replacement Jonathan Pelissie, his five-pointer too late in the game to change the outcome.
The result left Clermont just three points adrift of leaders Toulon, who lost 25-20 to Castres on Friday, and sees Grenoble sitting three points off sixth place, with the top six going through to the end-of-season play-offs.
Toulouse consolidated their third spot with a convincing 42-6 win at home over Bayonne.
Fifth-placed Montpellier sealed what could be a crucial 15-13 victory over Bordeaux-Begles, while Racing-Metro also notched up a valuable 23-11 win over Biarritz.
Bottom-placed Mont-de-Marsan went down 9-3 away to Agen.

However, I brought home some water fleas for filming them to my new video project. Afternoon I decided to take some new photos as well despite my tons of daphnia photos. Man y of them were nice but this one I really like:
I also tried to add a bit of blue by placing a piece of blue paper behind. It worked well:

Optical fibers in photography
This blog is devoted to the application of optical fibers in photography. I have several homemade (DIY) flash adapters channeling the light from the flash close to the lens. The technique can be used mainly for macro photography, but I will show examples for wide angle close focus techniques as well. The recent version is called fiberstrobe V3, hence the name of the blog is "fiberstrobe".

Daphnia project 2016
This year I'm planning to focus more on video. Plan is to shoot a 15-20 mins underwater video including some super macro using small aquariums. As a first step I bought some daphnia in the zoo shop and filled my mini aquarium. After finishing the video session I couldn't resist to take some new photos. My new A6000 is just perfect for this purpose. The lighting set-up includes optical fibers to side-lit the water fleas, which brings out the details. You can check the rig in my previous post here:
After the focus and the exposure is set taking images is really easy. Few photos from the results:

Fiberstrobe vs Evil Dead
The films of Evil Dead trilogy were my favorite horror movies when I was a child. Despite the low budget they were really scary and were full with crazy cinematic shots, strange angles of views and fancy tricks. I was really happy when I heard that Ash was back with his chainsaw. I also liked a lot the poster created for this new Ash vs Evil Dead TV series:
You know that I'm a big fun of fisheye effects, so I decided to pay respect to the Evil Dead series and I took my own version of the poster. These are my pictures in portrait and landscape format:
The show the branches of the trees in an almost circular format the camera was placed almost on the ground on a joby tripod. My new camera is a sony A6000 that has a cool function. It can be remotely controlled by a smartphone, so it was possible to have a full control on the picture even when the LCR/EVF was almost touching the ground. The only problem was that the battery depleted in my smartphone during the photo shooting, so the rest was just try and error approach. I had two sets of charged batteries for my camera and the flash, but I haven't checked my phone. It's still not yet part of the checking list. There is no extra light on the original poster, but I decided to hold not just a camera (my old nex-5) but also a flashgun. Ash is holding a chainsaw and boomstick in (on) his hands. I used self-timer (10 seconds) and radio triggering for my flash (simple yongnuo flash).
After resizing and cropping I've just increased the contrast and altered a bit the colors to get the final image.

I rarely ask people to say cheese when I take group photos, but today I did real cheese photography. I've tried recently a La Corona cheese that was new in the selection of our supermarket. It was really delicious and while eating I've also recognized its very interesting structure. Yesterday I bought a new piece and before eating it I took few photos. I found the rim lighting as the best way to bring out the surface structure of the cheese:
Here you can see a bit my DIY fiber optic rim light adapter, so you can imagine the lighting set-up:
The photo was taken with a sony nex-5 and the sel30M35 macro lens on a tripod. A radio-triggered external flash provided the light through the rim light adapter.
Guten Appetit!

Freelensing versus 30mm macro with fisheye adapter
Just a quick try to compare the freelensing technique with the 30mm macro lens with the fisheye adapter attached. The first picture is the fisheye lens itself (SEL16F28 + VCL-ECF1). It's stopped down but the closest subject is still not sharp enough and the background dominates:
Stopping down the lens doesn't make much difference. Setting the sharpness is easier around F8. The last picture is with the SEL30M35 lens combined with the fisheye adapter (VCL-ECF1).
Considering the close-up distance the field of view is really nice but not as dramatic as in case of the freelensing technique. Which one to choose is really a matter of taste. I will use both techniques in the future.
In the freelensing photo below the background is blurred and the closest subject is really sharp. The lens was set to infinity before it was detached from the camera.
Stopping down the lens doesn't make much difference. Setting the sharpness is easier around F8. The last picture is with the SEL30M35 lens combined with the fisheye adapter (VCL-ECF1).

Few days ago I've visited Sweden for a short business trip. Between two events I had a bit of time for sightseeing and photography. I also went to a botanical garden in Lund that was full with fantastic flowers and absolutely not shy butterflies. Unfortunately I had only the kit lens and the 16mm+fisheye lens with me, so I had to improvise for macro photography. My previous post was about a kind of freelensing, so it was just the perfect time to try again. Stunning results, considering the simple set up, in my opinion. However, it's not for people who are always afraid of dust spots on the sensor. I had some, maybe partly due to this freelensing but I've also changed the lenses a lot. After I got home, I cured the sensor with DUST-AID Platinum Kit. Now, few selected photos from the botanical garden:
The lights were perfects so there was no need for artificial lights. It was enough to take care of the lens and not to drop it onto the ground.

Can we get a bit closer
Wide angle macro photography is my favourite phototechnique. Modern fisheye lenses have relatively good close-focus abilities; therefore they're excellent tools for this kind of photography. Sigma 15mm fisheye is excellent regarding this and the sony fisheye converter (VCL-ECF1) on the 16mm macro is also quite good if you want to go close to your subject. However, going even closer would be nice sometimes. Since you can't add close-up lenses to a fisheye lens, the only solution is extension tube. I've quickly tested a 10mm tube on my sony nex with the 16mm+ VCL-ECF1 combo, but the effect was too strong. However, I've seen recently an excellent photo from Nikola Rahmé, who is one of the best macro photographers. Check his photo here:
He used a custom made 8 mm long extension tube with sigma fisheye. I really like the effect on his picture, so I kept experimenting with the idea. I've simply detached the lens from the camera and held simply in front of the camera to mimic the effect of an extension tube. Pushing it to the mount gives you 6-7mm distance and it worked. These photos were taken with the closest focus distance, when the lens attached correctly (stopped down and opened iris):
This one is taken by handholding the lens few mm away from the camera. The flower is relatively small (around 30 mm in diameter):
I've also tried it with a gooseberry (check my arm):
Some suggestions for this technique:
- · Focus manually the lens to infinity (set focus mode to manual) otherwise the subject will be just too close and it will practically touch the lens.
- · You can set the aperture before you detach the lens (when the camera is on) and the lens will keep the set values.
- · Lighting the subject will be necessary most of the case, which is quite challenging due to the close focus distance, but not impossible if you use optical fibres to direct the light from the main flash to the subject.
- · This technique, of course, requires a tripod and subjects stay still.
Here the photo when the lens attached normally:
At the end, the best approach would be for this technique a sigma 15mm lens attached to a helicoids adapter and used on a full-frame camera (A7 series). Such helicoids adapters work as variable extension tubes, so the effect can be modified easily. For example on this quenoX adapter the distance rack out from 0 to 6 mm.
No need for awkward handholding, so I can imagine that the technique could be even used without a tripod with such set-up.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Second-seeded Texas A&M (28-7) will battle third-seeded Duke (25-9) in the regional semifinals of the 2008 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship on Sunday, March 30 at 6 p.m. (CT). The game will be televised live from Oklahoma City's Ford Center on ESPN2.
The Sweet 16-bound Aggies are making their first trip to the Sweet 16 since 1994 after defeating 10th-seeded Hartford, 63-39, in second-round action on Monday, March 24 in Baton Rouge, La. Meanwhile, the Blue Devils beat sixth-seeded Arizona State, 67-59, on Tuesday night to advance to their 11th-consecutive Sweet 16 appearance.
A&M's first and only prior meeting with Duke came in the second round of the Preseason WNIT to tipoff the 1995-96 season. The Aggies prevailed with an 83-73 upset of the then-No. 16 ranked Blue Devils on Nov. 17, 1995, at G. Rollie White Coliseum in College Station, Texas. The winner will face either top-seeded Tennessee (32-2) or fifth-seeded Notre Dame (25-8) in the regional finals on Tuesday, April 1 at a time to be determined by ESPN.

As worthy as the movie's intentions are, scripting lets the team down with too many cliched speeches from accusers and accused alike. What's not in question are the outstanding central perfs by Park and Lee.
Only the bravura of the cast, first and foremost Park and Lee (both veterans of Unbowed), generates sufficient interest to see the film through to its surprising conclusion, recounted in a respectful coda many years later.
Though not without substance, National Security is marred by writing that's not nearly as creative as the torments it portrays.

Skip to comments.HOWARD DEAN: 'GOD HELP US' IF CRUZ BECOMES PRESIDENT
Posted on 08/25/2013 11:20:40 AM PDT by Jim Robinson
Former Vermont Gov. and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean showed that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) irritates the left as much as the Republican establishment when he declared that he was fearful that Cruz would one day become president.
"God help us if he ever gets to be anything more than the senator from Texas," Dean said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday.
Dean was responding to an interview CNN's Candy Crowley had done earlier in the week with Cruz in which Cruz said that he would do whatever he could to encourage a "grassroots tsunami" that would convince lawmakers to defund Obamacare.
Dean dismissed Cruz as a "slick" speaker promoting "crazy" ideas from the "far right."
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
What would Howard Dean know about God?
Howard, you are so funny.
It seems Howard neglected to add the crazy ideas from the left. If Cruz does become president, then I would say that God did help us.
Dean is warped.
"Slick ideas from the right" = Opposing Marxism, upholding the constitution.
Wait. I LIKE that 'grassroots tsunami' idea!
Yes, Go, Cruz, go!
I need to pay attention to Cruz if the "screamer" Howard Dean doesn't like him.
Howard prays to a different God.
Just as one is known by one's friends, one is also known by his enemies. Ted is now officially my favorite Senator.
"God will be helping us if Cruz gets elected."
Of course...He seems to ignore my prayers the nights before before the last 2 elections and wala! Twice this Idiot in Chief was elected.
Yup. Dean's "god" is the one with a pitchfork and horns.
If Dean does not like him, that means it is good for the contry. Go Cruz.
Yes, Howard. God just MIGHT help us should we pull that off.
The Left fears another Reagan.
Speaking of slick speakers promoting crazy ideas Howard "Ironic" Dean is top of the class.
Yeah, how about THAT?
I'll never forget that Alan Dershowitz himself said that Ted Cruz is one of the smartest men to ever go through Harvard! Well, "duh."
I was thinking more along the lines of a big eared teleprompter reader with an annoying tendency to whistle the letter 's'.
Howard Dean, the liberal who was a bit too public with the agenda. His campaign had to be shuttered and blamed on a "scream tape".
Joycelyn Elders' was fired when she said that healthcare was going to have to be rationed because "old people are gonna die anyway" and that money needed to go to young working Americans because they were the ones who'd be paying her Social Security. Too public with the truth. Her termination was quickly blamed on suggesting that kids should be taught to masturbate.
My bad. That's his god too. To pray to that god, you have to get a tingle up your leg.
SCREAM IT from the mountaintops, Howie . . . God still won't hear you atheist types
Cruz or Palin for POTUS 2016 ...................................... Nothing would be finer than Palin vs. Hillary, boy would I love to see that. The beauty and the beast going at it for the hearts and minds of the voters. Oh wait, that's not going to be easy, with half of the voters who love the downward direction we are going.
Thank you so much, dearest musicman. Those two are my only two and I'll likely not change my mind.
Thanks for killing the gremlins. Can you eat gremlins? Maybe with hot sauce?
"God help us if he ever gets to be anything more than the senator from Texas," Dean said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday.
If Dean hates Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz must be a great guy.
We know Sen. Cruz is being effective when he gets flak from the likes of Dean.
He's got them freaked out and fearful.
Considering how H Dean and his Dem Socialist Party have treated God the past few decades, I am not sure Dean will be pleased by God's response to Dean.
Ted Cruz: The adult in the room.
God does not recognize you, Howard, you piece of trash
Cruz must be doing sometin right, he's garnering all the right enemies.. Is it even possible, or too much to ask for..? Best regards.. Carlo
Very nice interpretation! I like it!
Howard Dean still has that Cray Cray look in his eye...lol.
OK who let Howard Dean out of the looney bin..I swear they gotta build better doors
Yes isn't it great to see Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz are living rent free in the dwarf brains of Liberals....LOVE IT!!
Thank GOD Howard wasn't elected pres!!!!!!
Right, but it would be a worthy match, with the Beast running at age 70.
If Dean is having a hissy fit Cruz must be our man.
True..but between him and Obama, if they were only choice...I would rather have Dean. He probably would not be arming Islamist terrorists all over the Middle East or then again he might. The whole left seems enamored with them these days.
God help us!
Well if they are in their brains, hope Palin is wearing 6" spike heels and Cruz is wearing pointy toed cowboy boots with spurs, both doing a little dance, LOL!
THAT is exactly what the rats said about Reagan... and Cruz is going to kick their rata$$e$ like Reagan did.
Ghu if 0bama becomes TOTUS.

Dual Commando Pistols - For ARC: Republic Vanguard
I figured dual pistols are possible in StarWars Battlefront with the right skills. I can create propper ODFs of the weapon, but I can't do any model work or animation, so that is where my idea falls flat.
They would work basically like the Droideka weapons... repeatable and with overheat instead of ammo (this way no reload animation required). And like Droideka weapons the lasers can come from two seperate gun barrels, while remaining in fact one weapon.
What I need is someone who can invert the commando pistol model that is currently ingame and add it so that the player sees a right hand and left hand holding pistols.
Second, I need the actual 3rd Person model/animations, altered so that the ARC Trooper holds up two pistols.
If this were to be complete I am sure it would be a cool feature for all kinds of maps and mods...
I just need help with the project :P
here... some quick concepts

Everyone happy with AVB?
Sitting on the fence reply follows....
I can't warm to the man and still don't like him too much, but given the circumstances, I can't fault the general results that he's getting from the team. The performances of late have been getting better (in a non-results way) as well - far more 'fluent' football.
We're still in the chase for 4th, in the Europa and FA Cup - so all in all a good half season for him. I think Mr Levy will be happy so far given the CL position and Europa progress. If AVB can now build on the first half of the season ...then he can be sensibly judged at this point next year.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
so far so good pts wise. but not good enough in terms of performance.
we are desperately short upfront now with just defoe.
surely levy has to buy.
we were short even with ade.
its, I have to disagree strongly with u!
the majority of the season we have been creating hardly any good chances. apart from the last few games where we missed a lot of good chances.
most games we barely created anything & were limited to long shots or quarter/half chances.
id say in about 90% of games we have barely created any good chances.
- 1 Reply to Layla
Odd timing - I had just read this:
..that compared AVB to 'arry, and it says that under AVB we've created more chances than any other EPL team.
What constitutes a chance though is anyone's guess - the 240 figure may have come from here:

The Extraordinary Sea Voyages of Captain James Cook
Walker & Company, Hardcover, 9780802714121, 468pp.
Publication Date: September 1, 2004
Commonly regarded as the greatest sea explorer of all time, James Cook made his three world-changing voyages during the 1770s, at a time when ships were routinely lost around the English coast. He made history by making geography-- sailing through previously unknown southern seas, charting the eastern Australian coast and circumnavigating New Zealand, putting many Pacific islands on the map, and exploring both the Arctic and Antarctic. His men suffered near shipwreck, were ravaged by tropical diseases, and survived frozen oceans; his lieutenants-- including George Vancouver and William Bligh-- became celebrated captains in their own right. Exploits among native peoples combined to make Cook a celebrity and a legend.
Cook is not, however, viewed by all as a heroic figure. Some Hawaiians demonize him as a syphilitic rascist who had a catastrophic effect on local health. Indigenous Australians often see him as the violent dispossessor of their lands. Nicholas Thomas explores Cook's contradictory character as never before, by reconstructing the many sides of encounters that were curious and unusual for Europeans and natives alike. The result of twenty years' research, Thomas's magnificently rich portrait overturns the familiar images of Cook and reveals the fascinating and far more ambiguous figure beneath.
Nicholas Thomas is a professor of anthropology at the University of London. A native of Sydney, Australia, he has traveled extensively in the course of his Pacific research and has curated several exhibitions on the history, art, and culture of Oceania.

In Defense of Short Selling
The Securities and Exchange Commission temporarily banned short-selling of financial stocks yesterday.
Short selling is a way of betting the price of a stock will go down, and the concern is that it is becoming a self fulfilling prophesy - pushing stock prices down artificially.
But let's remember that all this trouble began with a housing bubble. And short-sellers are one way of keeping bubbles from happening.
Our colleage Alex Blumberg, has a beautiful explanation of something called "naked short selling" on our podcast. The SEC previously banned naked short selling though no one seems to think the practice was widespread.
Alex is working with us from his regular gig at This American Life (Thanks Ira!) which just won two Emmy's for its brilliant TV series on Showtime. (Read Ira's reaction to winning on the TAL website.)

This was an awesome story - on par (although shorter)than The Giant Pool Of Money. I can't wait for the new episodes to come out!
Love Alex's stories - keep it up.
And a question: amid the chorus of support for short sellers (including Nocera's near absolute blessing this morning on Weekend Edition), I've read a few, poorly documented, suggestions that something different has happened with short selling recently. Nowadays, a crash would surely be lead by massive shorting. And there have been reports that the massive shorts that endangered AIG and other recent, sudden collapses, came from someone other than the usual big short sellers. If true, that's a big story - perhaps even "financial terrorism," as one report labeled it. What do we know about who piled on the shorts on AIG, Lehman, Bear Stearns, etc.? If (as I suspect) we don't know, shouldn't we?

Integrated Stereo Amplifier
Power and Clarity in One Sophisticated Device
Onkyo has declared war on distortion. The success of its campaign against noise is evident the moment you switch on the A-9070 Integrated Stereo Amplifier. New DIDRC (Dynamic Intermodulation Distortion Reduction Circuitry) dampens super high frequency distortion. Closed ground-loop circuits, HICC (High Instantaneous-Current Capability), and vibration-damping construction combine to produce a startlingly pure sound across a wide dynamic range.The unit's four 15,000 µF capacitors keep plenty of power at the ready. Efficient parallel push-pull amplification paired with three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry works at reducing distortion to almost nil. Separate Wolfson® 192 kHz/24-bit DACs for both left and right channels improve performance. The unit is also equipped with 192 kHz/24-bit HD audio playback to handle modern formats. Four discrete amplifier modes—integrated amp, power amp, pre-amp, and split pre-amp/power amp—offer flexibility when integrating other hi-fi components. Details like an independent headphone amplifier, a phonograph equalizer, three digital audio inputs, four analog inputs, and gold-plated audio terminals/speaker posts speak of the highest build quality. The superb craftsmanship, technological refinement, and attention to detail invested in the A-9070 make it worthy of serious consideration for those in the market for top-shelf hi-fi gear.

Once Again, Prozac Takes Center Stage, In Furor
By ERICA GOODE
Published: July 18, 2000
Prozac has never been just any drug.
Soon after arriving on drugstore shelves 12 years ago, Eli Lilly's antidepressant transcended simple pilldom, becoming instead a cultural icon.
Hailed as a wonder drug one minute, cast as evil incarnate the next, the green and white capsule has generated multitudes of lawsuits, and garnered more attention than some presidential candidates.
Perhaps because Prozac treats the ills of the mind, not the complaints of the body, it has also served as a kind of public Rorschach test, a screen upon which Americans project deeply rooted attitudes about illness, character, biology and free will.
So, perhaps predictably, as the drug edges into adolescence and Lilly's exclusive patent on the medication nears expiration, Prozac is once more causing a stir.
More or less at the center of the newest squall are two psychiatrists, Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, the author of a recently published book, ''Prozac Backlash'' (Simon & Schuster), and Dr. David Healy, author of ''The Antidepressant Era'' (Harvard University Press, 1998). They claim that Prozac and its chemical cousins are often indiscriminately prescribed and have more serious and more frequent side effects than the public is aware of or than the package labeling indicates.
Many of their assertions are old ones, in particular the notion that the drugs cause some people to become suicidal or violent, an accusation that Lilly and other antidepressant manufacturers deny and that has so far failed to persuade juries in product liability lawsuits.
But Dr. Glenmullen, who is on the staff of the Harvard University Health Services, and Dr. Healy, a lecturer in psychological medicine at the University of Wales College of Medicine, raise new fears. They suggest that Prozac and similar drugs, like the antipsychotic medications of the 1950's and 1960's, might pose a significant risk of neurological side effects, that long-term use of the drugs might cause brain damage and that future generations might look back on the antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs, in Dr. Glenmullen's words, ''as a frightening human experiment.''
''Too many people have been lulled into thinking that they have no side effects and no risk,'' he said.
The contentions of Dr. Glenmullen, Dr. Healy and other critics, however, have themselves drawn harsh criticism from scientists, psychiatric clinicians and mental health groups, who view them as alarmist and overblown.
Some scientists whose studies are cited in ''Prozac Backlash'' to support its thesis said that the author never contacted them about their work and they strongly disagreed with his conclusions.
And many psychiatrists said they worried that the new dispute would discourage people with depression from seeking needed treatment.
''Some of the statements that Glenmullen makes are simply outrageous,'' said Dr. Frederick Jacobsen, a psychopharmacologist in Washington. ''He trashes any benefit of the drugs and selectively quotes studies in a very biased way.''
The idea that Prozac and its later-arriving relatives are dangerous drugs runs counter to the experience of most psychiatrists and researchers. They see the medications -- which enhance the availability in the brain of serotonin, a neurotransmitter believed to be involved in depression -- as useful, and sometimes lifesaving, tools for treating a variety of psychiatric disorders.
In their view, the antidepressants have both advantages and limitations. The drugs, called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or S.S.R.I.'s, are far less lethal in overdose than the older generation of so-called tricyclic antidepressants, making them more difficult for depressed patients to use in suicide attempts. And they lack some annoying side effects of the earlier drugs, like dry mouth, constipation and weight gain.
Yet 30 percent to 40 percent of patients given the newer antidepressants receive no benefit from them, a weakness they share with earlier medications. Studies indicate the drugs may be less effective than tricyclics for severe depression. And the medications, like all drugs, have side effects of their own, including loss of libido and other sexual difficulties, which occur in anywhere from 36 percent to 75 percent of patients, and a host of other, mostly mild, adverse reactions.
Their long-term side effects, if any, are less clear. No scientist can offer an ironclad guarantee that Prozac and its counterparts -- or for that matter, any other potent drugs -- are absolutely safe when taken continuously for long periods.
Yet what is known, scientists say, suggests that the medications are more benign in their long-term effect on the brain than many other psychoactive drugs. And 12 years of widespread use have convinced most researchers and clinicians of the antidepressants' basic safety.
''The S.S.R.I.'s are not innocuous,'' said Dr. Matthew Rudorfer, associate director for treatment research at the National Institute of Mental Health's Division of Services and Intervention Research, ''and they should not be used casually. But it's a vast overinterpretation to say that they are dangerous and should be avoided.''

Protestors at Arizona State Capitol Face New Restrictions By Katelyn Seabury • Jan 20, 2012 Beginning this morning, protestors at the state Capitol are going to face some new restrictions. Arizona Public Radio's Howard Fischer explains. On a party-line vote, the Republican members of the Legislative Council voted Thursday to ban bullhorns by those marching between the House and Senate. House Speaker Andy Tobin said the devices are not only disruptive to the legislative process but also interfere with the rights of others. One of those is Kathryn Kobor who told lawmakers she has come to the Capitol for years to protest illegal immigration.

Overnight Markets: Wall Street tumbles as oil prices sink
The S&P 500 ended down 1.17%, its lowest close since October 2014.
Wall Street declined further on Wednesday, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index reaching a 21-month low, amid skepticism about the strength of the global economy intensified and as US oil prices plummeted to 2003 lows.
The S&P 500 ended down 1.17% at 1,859, its lowest close since October 2014. It had fallen as low as 1,812. The Dow Jones industrial average ended 1.56% lower at 15,767 points. After a brief late-day rally into positive territory, the Nasdaq Composite lost steam and ended down 0.12% at 4,472.
The equities rout was widespread, with the energy sector leading the losers. Exxon (XOM.N) dropped 4.21% and Chevron (CVX.N) slumped 3.10%. Devon Energy Corp. fell 8.1%, while ConocoPhillips and Halliburton Co. declined more than 4.4%.
US crude sank 6.6% yesterday amid a supply glut, but a late-day bounce in the oil prices helped reduce losses in stocks.
International Business Machines Corp. (IBM.N) weighed the most on the Dow, falling 4.88% after disappointing earnings report.
Banks fell for a third day with Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. down more than 3.4%. Charles Schwab Corp. decreased 4.7%.
Consumer discretionary companies, one of the few industries to finish with gains on Tuesday, erased the advance yesterday, falling 1%. Wynn Resorts Ltd. fell 4.7%, paring an earlier 11% tumble. Netflix Inc. was little changed, after earlier losing 10%, despite better-than-expected growth in its subscriber base.
Data yesterday showed the cost of living in the US fell in December, led by a slump in commodities that's roiling global markets. A separate report showed new-home construction unexpectedly declined in December, indicating the industry lost some momentum entering 2016.
In Asia, shares rebounded on Thursday in morning trade amid speculation the selloff that took global equities to the brink of a bear market may have gone too far.
MSCI's Asia Pacific Index climbed 0.7% as of 10:53 a.m. Tokyo time. Japan's Topix index rose 1% after sliding 3.7% last session, while the Nikkei 225 Stock Average rose 1.4%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index jumped 1%, while the Kospi index in Seoul rebounded 0.5%.
In China, the Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.9% despite a drop in money-market rates as the People's Bank of China injected the most cash via open-market operations since 2013. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 1.2%.
