Wednesday's letters: Thanks for flag

To the editor: A large American flag flies daily in Laurel Park at Robinson Lane and Laurel Park Highway. This flag is always the very first to be altered to half staff when tragedies occur, whether local, national or international.
A warm and heartfelt thank-you to Lt. Cmdr. (retired) and Deacon Jerry Beschta from your Laurel Park neighbors and friends for this special flag and for the ever-evolving array of flags displayed. We are treated daily to yet another historic and/or significant flag from Jerrys collection.
Those of us who view and enjoy these flags daily find our everyday lives enriched and more interesting by the thoughtfulness of one person. Many thanks.

Its not socialism
To the editor: Many letters I read here prove what Sinclair Lewis said: When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.
People need to educate themselves on the meaning of socialism. Obamacare is the farthest thing from that. It is not government-controlled health care. Obamacare is forced capitalism making private insurance companies richer by requiring that all people buy their insurance product, thereby spreading the risk to all people.
Government has involved itself in paying for health care it is called Medicare and veterans health benefits. Everyone seems to agree these programs are worth the price that we the people (who are the government in this republic) pay for in our taxes.
As a card-carrying liberal, I would have chosen a single-payer system. But those who were elected by voters chose the Affordable Care Act. I hope this is the first step to a single-payer system.

Check the facts
To the editor: Since Republicans cant talk about positive proposed bills for job creation, economic growth, comprehensive immigration, womens rights, education, reasonable gun controls, reasonable minimum wage increases, social programs for the disadvantaged, and fair military pay and benefits, we will be inundated with continuing Affordable Care Act misinformation until the 2014 elections.
Much media time and expense will be wasted to defeat this bill, already Supreme Court validated, rather than using traditional constitutional processes to improve enacted legislation.
Confusion will increase as they use enrollment system implementation problems, rather than specific program elements needing improvement, in their continuing attempts to cause its failure. The start-up problems will be fixed, but until then the noise levels will become unbearable because they have no positive accomplishments to talk about.
Thankfully, there are helpful sources to sort talking point fact from misinformation and lies, providing checks and balances on both sides. Two good ones are www.factcheck.org and www.politifact.com. They will help make informed fact-based decisions about your position on the Affordable Care Act and preferred 2014 election candidates. Its worth your time to check these sites out.

The 1st set looks pretty standard on paper, but it was full of energy, and very well played.
The 2nd set just seemed to flow so perfectly. And of course, you thought Fluffhead would surely close it out, but good ole Slave decided to put an exclamation on the night. I'll take any 2nd set that includes Antelope, Fluff, and Slave. And a little Hendrix for an encore? Please and thank you.

BEAVER CREEK - While others prepare for the holiday season by shopping and partying, a group of local college students and professionals spend the weeks leading up to Christmas rehearsing for the Sacred Sounds of Christmas Concert. Now in its fourth year, the concert continues to be a favorite among both locals and visitors. This year's concert will be held on Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m., at the Chapel at Beaver Creek.
The songs will lead you along the journey of Mary and Joseph as they prepare for the birth of their Child, with sets interspersed with brief Scripture readings, similar to the Nine Lessons and Carols program done by Kings College in England. The Beaver Creek Chapel is bathed in candlelight and the glow of red poinsettias complementing the sounds resonating throughout the building. The concert is a free musical gift to the community from Msgr. Bob Kinkel and the St. Clare of Assisi Parish.
Donations will be accepted on behalf of Amanda Grems-Painter, a third grade teacher and mother of two young daughters who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The costs of the program have been generously sponsored by Bob Gary in memory of his wife Kristen Gary who succumbed to cancer last May. Kristen was an avid supporter of the arts and these young people's music, specifically. This generous sponsorship will allow all of the donations to benefit Grems-Painter and her family.
The performers
Dore Marott is the group's musical director. Marott has scoured music stores from Denver to L.A. to put together an evening of sacred music that includes pieces from the early centuries to the present along with chorale pieces with intricate harmonies beautifully executed by the ensemble. Her performing experience is extensive including operas and Broadway musicals from New York to California.
The other vocalists were all born and raised in the valley and have scattered to various colleges and programs throughout the country. Galen Jacobs graduated from the University of Denver's Lamont School of Music with a bachelors degree in music/vocal performance. If you're a musical theater buff, you will recognize Jacobs from some of his high school performances, most notably as Marius in Les Miserables and Joseph in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." He has also appeared in operas in college and was the musical director in the college's acapella group, Idiosingracies, which took first place in the Mile High Jam Vocal Competition last year. Jacobs studied piano under Peter Vavra (who performs at Splendido) and will accompany himself on piano for his solo piece.
Sean Pack has been performing in the valley with the Vail Performing Arts Academy and Vail Valley Theatre Company almost since he could walk. He recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in voice and minoring in music composition. Pack spent his summer performing in the New England area in such fun musicals as "Hairspray." His beautiful tenor voice is the perfect complement to Jacob's lower tenor harmonies and their duet is always a high point in the program.
The ladies are equally impressive. Molly Brooks recently graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Brooks' congregation at the Episcopal Church enjoys her beautiful voice at services and she has also appeared in local musicals most notably as Cosette in "Les Miserables" and Cinderella in "Into the Woods." Brooks has studied voice since middle school under the tutelage of Maxine Graboyes.
Meghan Jacobs has followed her brother, Galen's, lead and is now a junior voice major at the University of Denver/Lamont School of Music. If you reside in the valley and follow theater you are sure to have seen her on stage as has been cast as the lead in musicals since 7th grade including Sara in "Guys and Dolls" and Marion Paroo in "The Music Man." Meghan and Galen have formed their own wedding music business, Forte' Music of Colorado, and keep busy in the summer singing for weddings at the Chapel and the Ritz Carlton/Bachelor Gulch.
Kate Manley is a sophomore at the University of Colorado as a voice major in the School of Music. Manley prepared for college by spending the summers studying at such renowned summer music programs at Interlochen and Tanglewood. Manley also was a regular performer, along with Sunday's other performers, at Vail's Cabaret Nights for many years.
The musicians accompanying this impressive group include Elizabeth Sadilek-Labenski, a flutist with her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins' Peabody Institute. Graham Olsen will play the cello. Olsen graduated from the prestigious music program at St. Olaf in Minnesota. Dawn Poff is the pianist pulling everything together. Poff studied under teachers from The Juilliard School.
If you cannot attend the concert, but wish to make a donation, call Eileen Jacobs at 970-471-3117.

Jay Z's 'Made in America': Ron Howard on the New Documentary
Ron Howard is at the Toronto International Film Festival presenting his racing drama "Rush"–but he is also premiering his new documentary "Made in America," about Jay Z's music festival of the same name. Howard will participate in a live discussion at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Theatre after a screening of the Jay Z movie tonight.
He said the project came together within days, after discussions with Jay Z and a sponsorship by Budweiser.
"It was a wild lark, one of these opportunities that came flying in and it was just at the moment that I was editing 'Rush' but there was a period where I didn't need to be hands-on 24-7," Howard told Speakeasy in an interview.
The director knew music mogul Jay-Z through Brian Grazer, his longtime business partner and co-producer on many projects. He and Jay-Z decided to document the inaugural "Made in America" festival, which took place last year in Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend.
Howard, who immersed himself in Formula One racecar driving for "Rush," found himself similarly thrust into a new world for "Made in America." He captured performances by Pearl Jam, Skrillex, and Run-DMC (in the rap group's first live performance since the death of Jam Master Jay in 2002).
"Suddenly I found myself like a stranger in a strange land, standing with a camera myself along with six or seven camera crews who I assigned to follow various aspects of the festival," he said.
Howard called making the documentary a fascinating experience, and said he's only screened it to small audiences. Tonight's premiere will be its big debut. "I have no idea what it will be like," he said.
"Made in America" will air on Showtime on Oct. 11. Watch the trailer.
Check back in soon for more with Ron Howard and his film "Rush." Follow @barbarachai on Twitter for more from the Toronto International Film Festival.

Middle English (in the sense '(person) owing obedience'): from Old French suget, from Latin subjectus 'brought under', past participle of subicere, from sub- 'under' + jacere 'throw'. Senses relating to philosophy, logic, and grammar are derived ultimately from Aristotle's use of to hupokeimenon meaning 'material from which things are made' and 'subject of attributes and predicates'.
jet from late 16th century:
The name jet for a hard black semi-precious mineral comes ultimately from the Greek word gagatēs 'from Gagai', a town in Asia Minor. When we refer to a jet of water or gas, or a jet aircraft, we are using a quite different word. It comes from a late 16th-century verb meaning 'to jut out', from French jeter 'to throw', which goes back to the Latin jacere 'to throw'. Jut (mid 16th century) is a variant of jet in this sense. Jacere is found in a large number of English words including abject (Late Middle English) literally 'thrown away'; conjecture (Late Middle English) 'throw together'; deject (Late Middle English) 'thrown down'; ejaculate (late 16th century) from jaculum 'dart, something thrown'; eject (Late Middle English) 'throw out'; inject (late 16th century) 'throw in'; jetty (Late Middle English) something thrown out into the water; project (Late Middle English) 'throw forth'; subject (Middle English) 'thrown under'; trajectory (late 17th century) 'something thrown across'. Especially if you use budget airlines, air travel today is far from glamorous, but in the 1950s the idea of flying abroad by jet aircraft was new and sophisticated. At the start of that decade people who flew for pleasure came to be known as the jet set.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|Right-wing individuals >
Right-wing political organisations
13.112 Irving accepted that he has from time to time addressed the German National Democratic Party and the German Peoples' Union. I recognise that these organisations are not banned as being unconstitutional but I accept the evidence of Funke that they and their members are on the extreme right of the political spectrum. There would be many who would refuse any invitation to address meetings of such groups. Irving must be aware of the political complexion of these organisations. His willingness to speak at their meetings is, to put it at its lowest, indicative of a tolerance on his part of right wing extremism. But I accept that, when he has spoken at their meetings, Irving has not expressed himself in extremist or anti-semitic terms.
13.113 Some time was spent during the evidence viewing a video of a meeting in Halle on 9 November 1991, which was attended by Irving at the invitation of Ursula Worch (see paragraph 10.12 above). Irving complains that the film has been edited and re-edited so as to present him in a prejudicial light. I do not accept that the effect of the editing materially distorts the nature of the meeting. Irving can be seen watching assorted groups, many of them in uniform, march towards the meeting place. Irving is shown on the platform when he was introduced to the crowd. He then addressed the meeting. There is nothing objectionable in what he is recorded as having said. He can be seen shaking his head in disapproval when Nazi slogans such as "Sieg Heil" are chanted. He spoke in the early afternoon and claimed in his evidence that he left soon afterwards. His diary, however, records him as having left at 5pm. I believe that he remained at the meeting for longer than he was prepared to admit. The significance of the video of the Halle meeting, in my judgment, is that it evidences Irving's willingness to participate in a meeting at which a motley collection of militant neo-Nazis were also present.
13.114 The evidence supports the claim that Irving has associated with several extreme right-wing organisations in the US. He has a close and longstanding relationship with the Institute of Historical Review (see paragraph 10.23 above). It is an avowedly revisionist organisation whose membership undoubtedly includes many from the extreme right wing. Irving agreed that the membership of the IHR includes "cracked anti-semites". The evidence indicates that Irving is also associated with the National Alliance. I accept the Defendants' case as set out in paragraph 10.24 above. In my view Irving cannot fail to have become aware that the National Alliance is a neo-Nazi and anti-semitic organisation. The regularity of Irving's contacts with the National Alliance and its officers confirms Irving's sympathetic attitude towards an organisation whose tenets would be abhorrent to most people.

Brain Tissue Research Innovation Wins Top Award at IMFAR
This is a guest post by Autism Speaks staffer Jane Pickett, Ph.D.
The 10th annual international gathering of autism scientists, researchers and advocates, known as IMFAR, (International Meeting for Autism Research), was held last month. At the meeting, the prestigious Slifka/Ritvo award for research innovation went to a project using post mortem brain tissue to help researchers using MRI on living subjects to define boundaries between various brain regions. This research is important because every brain is a little bit different and we need new tools to accurately compare brain areas across individuals.
Drs. Thomas Avino and Jeffrey Hutsler at the University of Reno tackled the problem of defining the border between brain cells making up the 'gray matter' and the 'white matter' located in the center of the brain) by examining brain tissue of donors to the Autism Tissue Program. Their project, 'Quantification of the gray/white matter boundary in Autism Spectrum Disorders', assessed 3 brain regions in 8 males with autism and 8 age- and sex-matched control donors.
The images at the left mark the location of neurons in the lower cellular layer of the cortex, Layer VI, and also the white matter below it. The image (left) of an unaffected donor shows a typical transition zone; the autism brain specimens have a poorly defined zone, with the cell bodies of neurons spilling into areas where they are not expected to be. Looking directly at brain cells, it is easy to understand the MRI reports of 'poor distinctiveness' between cortical gray and white matter and now imaging researchers have a mathematical model to consider in their assessments of gray/white matter as they study brain development in children with autism.
Independent examination of other autism brain samples by post doctoral student Adrian Oblak from Boston University School of Medicine also showed many neurons atypically located in white matter. More specifically, these neurons were found in the cortex involved in emotion and memory process and face processing. Microscopic images of marked cells in this area, the posterior cingulate gyrus, show cells on the right, in the autism brain, massing into the white matter.
Why is this important in today's autism world? Years of study of the developing human brain show that at embryonic brain cells begin to 'climb' up to the cortical surface and by 5 months gestation virtually all are located above the new myelin-dense 'white matter'. A delay in this migration during the second trimester of pregnancy is thought to be caused by a lack of proper cell signaling due to a genetic and/or environmental impact on the developing brain. What is important is that this change in brain structure is seen into adulthood in brains of donors with autism; therefore, further research of brain cell architecture, combined with brain tissue genotyping, will reveal more about changes occurring during the development of the central nervous system. The correct configuration of the cortical cell layers is crucial for further maturation and functionality of the brain. A number of coordinated events need to occur for this early development such as proper signals for cell birth, migration, maturation and final proper distribution of new brain cells. Genes that guide these events are becoming better understood (read about a new genetics study).
What does this have to do with you? None of this research is possible without brain donation.

Scripture: Leviticus 1:2 NIV "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any of you brings an offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.
3 ¶ "'If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD.
4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.
Observation: The offering bringer was to lay his hand on the head of the animal to be sacrificed and by so doing would be saying, "This animal represents me and will be sacrificed in payment for my sins." Verse four says, "It will be accepted on his behalf." If God was so willing to accept the sacrifice of an animal on behalf of the sinner, HOW MUCH MORE is He willing to accept the sacrifice of His own Son, Jesus, as the payment for our sins!!!
Application: If the Old Testament worshipper found forgiveness in the sacrifice of an animal, HOW MUCH MORE can I find forgiveness, and peace, and joy, and justification, and acceptance in the Once and for all sacrifice of the sinless Son of God!
Prayer: Lord, you are more valuable than silver, more costly than gold, more precious than diamonds! Your sacrifice more than covered my sins. I am grateful and humbled! Amen

Knitter's Review
December 13, 2012
What an amazing week. My Great White Bale took off, and by Sunday the Explorer memberships were sold out. For those who'd love to follow from the sidelines, sign up to be an Armchair Traveler. And to all of you, a giant and heartfelt thank you. Looking forward to the journey ahead!
The Bale gift-giving has been amazing. I've watched husbands gifting to wives (or wives to husbands), mothers to daughters, friends to friends—even gifting mutually without either person aware of what the other has done.
In that spirit, I present my gift ideas for the holidays.
In the Forums: Stranding Colors
As always, I thank you for your readership and your support.

3.9-32 Municipal Sidewalk (Road,
Bridge) Snow and Ice - § 13a-149
Revised to January 1, 2008
Note: This statute applies to
roads, bridges or sidewalks. This instruction uses a sidewalk as an
There is a statute that provides
that a person who was injured by means of a defective sidewalk may recover
damages from the party bound to keep it in repair.1
In making a claim under this
statute, the plaintiff must prove all of the following elements by a fair
preponderance of the evidence:
that (he/she) gave the required
statutory notice of injury;
that the sidewalk where the
injury occurred was one that the (city / town / borough), and not some other
person or entity, had a duty to maintain or repair;2
that there was a defect in the
that the city had notice of the
that the city failed to
exercise reasonable care to remedy the defect; and
that the defect was the sole
proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries; that is, no other cause was a
substantial factor in causing (his/her) injuries.
In order to be entitled to
compensation from the defendant, the plaintiff must prove each and every one
of these elements.3
If (he/she) has failed to prove any one of them, then (he/she) has failed to
prove (his/her) claim.
Statutory notice of the
Note: If there is no issue
over the statutory notice of injury, this portion may be deleted from the
First, the plaintiff must prove
that the applicable statutory notice was given.
The statute states that an action
can only be brought to recover damages caused by a defective sidewalk if the
plaintiff provides written notice of the injury, with a general description
of the injury, the cause, the time and the place of its occurrence. This
notice shall be given within ninety days thereafter to a selectman or clerk
of the town, city or borough bound to keep the sidewalk in repair.4
Whether the notice meets the
requirements of the statute and whether it was given within the time
prescribed in the statute are questions for you to determine. The notice
mandated by the statute includes five elements: 1) written notice of the
injury, 2) a general description of the injury, 3) the cause, 4) the time,
and 5) the place.5
The purpose of the notice
requirement is so that officers of municipal corporations shall have precise
information that will enable them to investigate the circumstances of the
accident. The plaintiff must give such notice as a prerequisite of
(his/her) right to recover damages.6
The statute provides that any
notice given shall not be held invalid or insufficient by reason of an
inaccuracy in describing the injury or in stating the time, place or cause,
if it appears that there was no intention to mislead or that the city was
not, in fact, misled.7
Duty to maintain or repair
The next element is that the
plaintiff must prove that the sidewalk on which (he/she) claims to have been
injured was one that the city had a duty to maintain or repair.8
The city does not have a duty to repair areas of sidewalks that are private
You will have to determine
whether the plaintiff has proven that the location that has been identified
as the area where the plaintiff was injured was a sidewalk the city had a
duty to maintain or to keep in repair.10
Defect in the sidewalk
The next element the plaintiff
must prove is that there was a defect in the sidewalk. A defect is "[a]ny
object in, upon, or near the traveled path, which would necessarily obstruct
or hinder one in the use of the [sidewalk] for the purpose of traveling . .
. ."11
The mere fact that there is ice and snow on the surface of the sidewalk does
not mean that the sidewalk is defective. A sidewalk is defective as the
result of ice and snow when it is not in a reasonably safe condition.12
The city does not guarantee the
safety of travelers upon its sidewalks. The obligation of the city is not
to keep its sidewalks in perfect condition. The task of making sidewalks
safe at all times and under all such circumstances is not imposed upon our
cities, especially in our climate, with respect to the accumulation of ice
or snow. The duty of the city is to use reasonable care to keep its
sidewalks in a reasonably safe condition.13
The duty to use reasonable care takes into account the variety of conditions
and circumstances that are created by the rigors of our winters.14
<The focus of this charge is defects caused by ice and snow. It is
obvious that the injury might be caused by a combination of defects and you
would charge accordingly.>
Notice of the defective
The next element that the
plaintiff must prove is that the city knew or, in the exercise of due care
in inspecting the sidewalk, should have known that the sidewalk was in a
defective condition. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant had notice
of the particular defect itself which caused the injury and not merely
notice of the conditions that in fact produced it.15
The plaintiff must prove that the
defendant had either actual or constructive notice of the condition that is
claimed to be the defect.16
Actual notice would be a report of the condition to the city or observation
of the condition by city employees responsible for maintenance of the
The other kind of notice is called
constructive notice. If the condition that is claimed to be a defect was
present for a sufficient length of time so that the defendant should have
discovered it using reasonable care to inspect sidewalks, then the defendant
had constructive notice.17
Failure to exercise
reasonable care to remedy defect
The next element that the
plaintiff must prove is that after having notice, and having had a
reasonable opportunity to do so, the city failed to take reasonable care to
remedy the claimed defect.18
In determining the care that a reasonably prudent person would use in the
same circumstances, you should consider all of the circumstances which were
known or should have been known to the defendant at the time of the conduct
in question. Whether care is reasonable depends upon the dangers that a
reasonable person would perceive in those circumstances. It is common sense
that the more dangerous the circumstances, the greater the care that ought
to be exercised.
Sole proximate cause
The plaintiff must finally prove
that the defect in the sidewalk was not just one cause among many causes of
(his/her) fall, but that it was the sole proximate cause, that is, the only
substantial factor, causing (his/her) fall.19
Notes - Proximate cause below.> The plaintiff must prove that the
injuries claimed were caused solely by a defect of the sidewalk.20
The plaintiff, however, was bound
to use reasonable care for (his/her) own safety; that is, the degree of care
that a reasonably prudent person would use in order to avoid injury. The
plaintiff cannot have been entirely heedless of the situation, but had a
duty to reasonably use (his/her) vision and (his/her) faculties to observe
(his/her) surroundings and to use reasonable care in view of any danger that
was presented by the condition of the sidewalk.21
A pedestrian who knows of a
dangerous condition in the path of travel is not required to take an
alternate route or a detour, but is bound to take precautions that an
ordinarily prudent person would take to avoid the dangerous condition,
including moving to the portion of the sidewalk that is not defective. If
the pedestrian makes the decision to pass over a dangerous condition that
(he/she) knows about, then that pedestrian has a duty to use reasonable care
in doing so.22
Knowledge of a dangerous
condition generally requires greater care to meet the standard of reasonable
If you find that the plaintiff
failed to prove that (he/she) was exercising reasonable care for (his/her)
own safety and that (his/her) negligence was a substantial factor in causing
(him/her) to fall, then any defect in the sidewalk would not be the sole
proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries, and you would find for the

The cases that apply for state
liability under General Statutes § 13a-144 can also be used to support an
action for municipal liability under General Statutes § 13a- 149. See
Smith v. New Haven, 258 Conn. 56, 64 (2001) (stating that cases dealing
with § 13a-144, the state defective highway statute, "are nonetheless
persuasive authority with respect to the construction of the municipal
defective highway statute because §§ 13a-144 and 13a-149 have always been
regarded as in pari materia as far as the scope of the governmental entity's
obligation is concerned"); Donnelly v. Ives, 159 Conn. 163, 167
(1970) (stating that "on many occasions [the court has] looked to and
applied the rationale in cases involving statutory actions against
municipalities under what is now General Statutes § 13a-149 since there is
no material difference in the obligation imposed on the state by § 13a-144
and that imposed on municipalities by § 13a-149").
Definition of "road"
For road/bridge cases, the term
"road" can include more than just the traveled portion. It includes those
areas related to travel, such as the side of the road or, perhaps, even a
parking area. See, e.g., Ferreira v. Pringle, 255 Conn. 330, 347-51.
Proximate cause
While sidewalks are generally
located within the municipal right of way and are therefore public and
covered under General Statutes § 13a-149, this is not always the case. To
the extent the sidewalk is private, the sole proximate cause standard does
not apply. Moreover, General Statutes § 7-163a allows a city or town, by
ordinance, to shift liability to the owner or possessor of land abutting a
public sidewalk only for injuries due to the presence of ice and snow. See
Willoughby v. New Haven, 123 Conn. 446, 451 (1937); Dreher v.
Joseph, 60 Conn. App. 257, 260-63 (2000); Gould v. Hartford, 44
Conn. Sup. 389, 396-97 (1997) (maintaining that § 7-163a does not authorize
the municipality to reallocate the duty to remove ice and snow to the state
where the department of transportation owns the land abutting the sidewalk);
Hutchinson v. Danbury, Superior Court, judicial district of Danbury,
Docket No. 331013 (February 8, 1999) (23 Conn. L. Rptr. 3); Mahoney v.
Mobil Oil Corp., Superior Court, judicial district of Hartford-New
Britain at Hartford, Docket No. 568849 (December 4, 1997) (21 Conn. L. Rptr.
138); see also General Statutes § 7-148 (c) (6) (C) (v). The sole proximate
cause rule does not apply in such a case.

Czech Republic, 2011, 84 Minute Running Time
7pm Wed May 29
The end of the eighties in the twentieth century. Alois Nebel works as a dispatcher at the small railway station in Bílý Potok, a remote village on the Czech–Polish border. He's a loner, who prefers old timetables to people, and he finds the loneliness of the station tranquil – except when the fog rolls in. Then he hallucinates, sees trains from the last hundred years pass through the station. They bring ghosts and shadows from the dark past of Central Europe. Alois can't get rid of these nightmares and eventually ends up in sanatorium. In the sanatorium he gets to know The Mute, a man carrying an old photograph who was arrested by the police after crossing the border. No one knows why he came to Bílý Potok or who he's looking for, but it is his past that propels Alois on his journey…

ASA Newsroom > Which Industries Employ Statisticians?
Clinical Trials
A clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment intervention or compares the effectiveness of a new treatment to that of current best practice or other control group. Statistics contributions to clinical trials affect every man, woman, and child in some way, whether now or in the future, as this type of research determines most options available for physicians to treat a patient. Clinical trials are required for every type of drug to treat every type of disease. Now, this is an impressive arena in which to work!
A clinical trial is designed as a prospective study, which means it is thoroughly planned before any data are collected. This important, detailed design is developed in collaboration with a statistician.
A clinical trial is an effective tool in determining whether a new treatment intervention really does have the beneficial results that have been proposed. This is where a statistician's input is vital. Given the variability of human subjects and the uncertain knowledge of the course of most diseases, it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine the effects of a specific treatment on the outcome of the disease course if a study without a clearly defined hypothesis and an appropriate design to test this hypothesis.
The Phases
In many medical settings, three types of clinical trials are usually conducted. These are called Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III trials and are administered in sequence to learn more about a given treatment intervention. Several steps or phases of clinical research must occur before a large-scale Phase III study is implemented. A Phase IV trial is a post-approval study and can be a long-term follow-up of a treatment that was previously found to be effective, a post-marketing surveillance study, or a study to learn more about the treatment.
Phase I trials are the initial clinical trials in humans. The major objective of a Phase I trial is to evaluate the safety of a new treatment, including excess toxicity and side effects. The objective of a Phase II trial is to determine whether a specific treatment is effective enough to warrant further study, usually if the new treatment appears potentially better than the existing best treatment. Phase I and II trials are relatively small, involving approximately 20-50 patients, and usually all patients are given the new treatment intervention.
A Phase III trial is almost always a randomized trial (by chance alone assigning patients to a treatment group), comparing a new treatment to the current best treatment or other control group. Such a trial can be quite large, including 100 to several thousand patients, and could take place at several centers. Randomization is used to ensure that patients given the two treatments are as alike as possible (for example, in age and health), the only differences between them being the treatment they are given. The Phase III trial is much more definitive due to the larger number of patients, the randomization process, and the multiple centers participating.
Statistical Considerations
Statistical thought is vital to any clinical trial. The biostatistician ensures the design of the study is appropriate for meeting the study objectives. The statistician also ensures a sufficient number of patients is included in the clinical trial to answer its primary objective, but not so many that patients might be subjected unnecessarily to an ineffective or unsafe treatment or that the study would be conducted over an unnecessarily long period of time. The statistician will describe in advance the statistical methods to be used to analyze the data, such as a binomial comparison of the proportion of responses, a t-test for comparisons of means of continuous data, or a survival analysis to compare differences in survival. When the study is completed, the statistician will analyze the data and write a report about the results.
Information about the results of clinical trials is commonly reported in the news media, including television, newspapers, and magazines. You may have seen advertisements for a specific type of person to participate in a clinical trial. What better way to have a direct effect on the health of the nation and the world than to be a statistician who designs and analyzes clinical trials?

The wait is over....Lotus Symphony 1.2 delivers beta support for Mac OS X 10.5(Intel). So, what do you get when you combine the standard-bearer for GUI elegance of the Mac OS X with the clean, award winning interface of Lotus Symphony? An unbeatable combination of innovation and simplicity for office productivity applications, designed with users in mind.
The development team has worked hard to ensure that Lotus Symphony not only works on Mac OS X but is optimized to take advantage of elegance of Aqua GUI theme with the innovation and simplicity Mac users have come to expect.
Right now, for Beta, Lotus Symphony on Mac OS X is available in English only. Rest assured, however, we will support all the languages when we move Lotus Symphony support for Mac OS X out of Beta to be generally available.
Now, it's your turn to do the work. Download it, use it, give us feedback. Your feedback is vital to ensuring that we continue to focus on the right things and ensure that Lotus Symphony delivers the experience you need.

Tried Symphony 3 Beta 2.
Pro: Symphony can open multiple documents in tabs, and starts up slightly faster than Open Office.
Con: Byzantine download procedure; wouldn't want to go through this every time there's an update. Symphony takes more space on your disk than Open Office, even though it has less features. Review at Datamation says Symphony uses more RAM than Open Office, & can take a year for new Open Office features to be integrated into Symphony. Interface has IBM's branding on it. Has IBM light blue background instead of Open Office gray; the gray is easier on the eyes.
IMO: Use OpenOffice or NeoOffice.
Just submitted an update - is now at version 1.3
Well...it's easy enough to enter a fake address on the registration and bypass the download applet by clicking the http download link....but it's annoying that it's only at the point that the file is revealed to be Intel-only.
The IBM download site sucks horribly, and requires Java to be enabled so that their download applet will run.
Once you get beyond that, there's some interesting concepts in the program itself. The core of the program is based on OpenOffice, but the interface is very clean and streamlined, and it has a sidebar that works similarly in principle to the tabbed palette in the old Lotus SmartSuite on Windows. The suite also borrows some concepts from Firefox 3 for the GUI: a tabbed interface, an addons browser, a thumbnail view akin to the one Firefox 3.1 will be acquiring (and which hopefully will have a working text search in the near future!), etc. It's a bit too buggy for regular use right now, but it's a good start and will hopefully evolve into a nice alternative to OpenOffice for people who don't like the latter's MS Office 97-style interface.
Seems you must register to try this application out. No go for me.
I commend developers making free apps, for what they do, but I have funny feelings towards marketing jargon and tryout registrations.
What's with the first person and marketing language (The wait is over... team has worked hard... Now, it's your turn). Somewhere in the midst of this must be a description of what it does. Oh yeah, 'office productivity applications'.

SAN JOSE -- On the one-month anniversary of the NHL lockout, Dan Boyle -- speaking about his own situation -- said Monday what Sharks fans may have been thinking about the team as a whole.
"For me, I look at a chance to win the cup and I'm getting older. This is our window," Boyle said. "I'm not so concerned about the money as I am with the fact we're missing games and we're missing an opportunity to try to win this thing. That's what's pissing me off."
In the past -- before he risked fines for speaking out about anything that could be interpreted as labor related -- Sharks GM Doug Wilson had resisted the notion that his team only has another year or two to live up to its potential.
But for Boyle -- who has this non-season (so far) and 2013-14 left on his contract -- it's a very real issue. At 36, he knows time is running out for him to be part of another Stanley Cup champion.
"For this particular team, I think this is a window, a very good opportunity for us and we're not getting a chance," he said after he and four other NHL players held their own practice at Sharks Ice.
The top brass of the NHL and NHLPA are returning to the bargaining table Tuesday in Toronto,

Denny's earnings up nearly 35 percent for quarter
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 2:30 a.m.
Family-dining chain Denny's Corp. said Monday its earnings increased almost 35 percent during the second quarter.
Denny's, headquartered in Spartanburg, reported a net income of almost $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 26, compared with $4.6 million for the same period a year ago.
For the first six months of the year, "America's Diner" said its earnings hit nearly $13.3 million, about a 27 percent increase compared with $10.5 during the first half of 2012.
"We delivered another quarter of solid results, as we grew both our system-wide same-store sales and adjusted net income per share," said Denny's president and CEO John Miller, in a statement.
"We believe that by leveraging our primarily franchise-focused business model and effectively allocating capital between reinvestments in the brand and returning cash to shareholders, we can provide attractive long-term shareholder returns."
The company said its system-wide same-store sales increased six-tenths of a percent, which includes a seven-tenths percent increase at domestic franchised restaurants and a half-percent decrease at company restaurants.
Denny's ended the quarter with $176.6 million of total debt, including $97.5 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit and $59.3 million of outstanding term loan debt.
The company said it opened 11 new franchised restaurants and closed 10 others, bringing its total count to 1,690 in the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Honduras, Guam, Curacao, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and New Zealand.
"With our new, more flexible credit facility, we will continue to execute our balanced capital allocation strategy as we invest in growing and strengthening the brand, while returning cash to shareholders through our ongoing share repurchase program," Denny's CFO Mark Wolfinger said in a statement.

Students pack the library at USF-St Pete for what's between the bookshelves. We're talking about a pack of therapy dogs that are on campus to help students let go of some of the stress that comes with finals week. They also remind some students of someone they've missed all semester.
"I have two dogs at home that i haven't been able to see for a while so coming here and playing with some dogs made me really happy," said student Ashley Hibbs.
All of the dogs have good homes. In fact were at the school with their owners. It's a pet partnership so to speak. Owner and animal working together to help other people.
Therapy dogs international visits nursing homes and hospitals.
"I started doing this because my father had leukemia and he was in the Cleveland Clinic and I was spending a lot of time away from home," said Joann Rechtine with Therapy Dogs International.
She hopes her dog makes others feel comforted on lonely, worried nights.
"Every time I would go out on the street and see a dog I would go out on a street and love on that dog. It just made me feel better"
But does it work on finals? The proof is in the puppy love.
"The dog understands. You understand. They have a special connection," said student Allan Pinkerton.
"The positive uplifted energy will just relax me because i get really nervous on tests," said Hibbs.

Six Steps to Starting Your Own Business
Maybe you have a million-dollar idea, or maybe you have just grown tired of working for someone else. Either way, becoming your own boss requires a mix of creativity, strategy and street smarts. We've tapped the minds of experienced entrepreneurs and business experts to give you six secrets to success. Heed these guidelines as you take the next steps toward starting your own business.
See Also: Test Your Small Business Know-How
Know your customer
The better an entrepreneur understands the target audience, the more likely he or she is to create products and services that buyers are willing to pay for, says Joel Wiggins, chief executive of the Enterprise Center of Johnson County, a business incubator in Lenexa, Kan. It sounds simple enough, but that critical edge, whether gained from experience or market research, can separate failing companies from successful ones.
That's certainly the case with Marcie Carson. Based on what she learned from running IE Design + Communications, a Hermosa Beach, Cal., graphic design firm she co-founded in 1995, Carson was confident that customers would pay a premium for high-end, eco-friendly paper products. But before jumping into the design process, Carson spent two years researching gaps in the upscale paper market. The result: a product line shaped not by aesthetic whim but rather by a thorough analysis of the target audience. Carson's new venture, Mixt Studio, sells sustainable goods ranging from cards and gift wrap to totes made from fabric-like paper.
Test your idea
One of the best decisions an entrepreneur can make is not to go into a business that's doomed to fail. A simple way to determine the likelihood of failure is to test an idea before sinking time and money into it. Business consultant and author Jim Beach recommends taking a new idea to ten prospective customers and finding out how many would buy it.
"The market will give you a very strong indicator, and you can save thousands or even millions of dollars by going to the market before you design your product or develop that company, because you'll know you're creating something the market demands," Beach says. You can also search patents and trademarks to see if someone has already registered your idea.
Pick a sales strategy
Understanding how your product will be marketed and sold is critical to its success, says Tom Fleckenstein, director of the Virginia Highlands Small Business Development Centers, in Abingdon, Va. Much will depend on what is standard in your industry, he says, but success will also depend on your preferences and skill sets. The best business owners aren't necessarily the best salespeople.
For example, Carson knew she would need to focus all of her energy on product development, design and manufacturing. As a one-person start-up, that would leave little time for sales. At her first stationery trade show in 2012, she found a sales agency that agreed to peddle her paper goods to retailers. The agency's sales representatives have already helped Carson place her products in about 200 stores in the U.S., Canada and Japan, a feat she couldn't have achieved on her own in that time frame.

CONCORD -- The De La Salle High football team came into Friday's contest with Monte Vista unbeaten but -- as senior running back Tiapepe Vitale put it -- feeling like it hadn't yet played a complete "Spartan game."
Against one of the East Bay's top teams, the Spartans finally delivered.
De La Salle dominated on both sides the ball, totaling 423 yards and keeping Monte Vista out of the end zone in its 41-9 win at Owen Owens Field.
"I was really happy with the way we played," De La Salle coach Bob Ladouceur said. "We played aggressive on both sides of the ball, our runners were great tonight and ran with a lot of passion. Our offensive line blocked well. It was a good game for us.
"They should be excited about how they played today."
Vitale rushed for a season-high 202 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries. Das Tautalatasi sparked the De La Salle running game early, breaking off several long runs. He finished with 118 rushing yards on 10 carries, including a 5-yard touchdown.
The Spartans grabbed the momentum at the start when they forced a Monte Vista fumble on the opening kickoff. Quarterback Chris Williams connected with Andrew Buckley six plays later for a 7-0 De La Salle lead.
Williams attempted just three passes all game, but two went for touchdowns. Williams also found Austin Lonestar over the middle for a 40-yard touchdown 6.5 seconds before halftime to give De La Salle a 28-3 lead at the break.
The Mustangs (6-2), who had been averaging 36 points and 379 yards a game, managed just 171 against De La Salle (8-0). John DeMaio gave the Mustangs all their points on field goals of 34, 39 and 39 yards.
Defensive end Austin Hooper and linebacker D.J. Moffitt returned from injury for De La Salle, helping key the strong defensive effort.
"This is how our team should play," Vitale said. "We should feel confident and carry this throughout the rest of the season."

- Tesla's stock dips after negative review of its Model S sedan
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made no secret of what he thinks about a critical review in The New York Times of the new Model S. Musk took to Twitter to defend the all-electric sedan. Here are some excerpts from reporter John Broder's review, interspersed with tweets from Musk.
Broder: "When I parked the car, its computer said I had 90 miles of range, twice the 46 miles back to Milford. It was a different story at 8:30 the next morning. The thermometer read 10 degrees and the display showed 25 miles of remaining range -- the electrical equivalent of someone having siphoned off more than two-thirds of the fuel that was in the tank when I parked."
Musk: "NYTimes article about Tesla range in cold is fake. Vehicle logs tell true story that he didn't actually charge to max & took a long detour."
Broder (after the Tesla ran out of power and had to be towed to a charging station): "At 2:40 p.m., we pulled into the Milford rest stop, five hours after I had left Groton on a trip that should have taken less than an hour."
Musk: "Tesla blog coming soon detailing what actually happened on Broder's NYTimes 'range test.' Also lining up other journalists to do same drive."
Broder: "After 80 minutes of charging in Milford, the battery registered an estimated 216 miles of range. The trip to the Tesla dealership in Manhattan was an uneventful 71 miles. When I pulled in, the battery had an estimated 124 miles remaining."
From Musk: "Am not against NYTimes in general. They're usually fair & their own prev Tesla test drive got 300+ miles of range!"

From The Times of Nigeria
The Jama'atu Ahlis-Sunnah Liddaa'awati Wal Jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram sect, yesterday claimed responsibility for the attacks on three banks where undisclosed huge sums of money were looted, because the Nigerian banking system were not operating in accordance with Islamic principles.
Speaking to journalists in a tele-conference in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, spokesman of the sect, Abu Zaid, justified their action as it was aimed at cleansing the "the infidels' system of banking which had gone astray to the sharia legal code."
He said since they started their vengeance attacked in June last years they only lost 19 of their members, adding that the claims of the JTF were not true and that the claim of the SSS that they arrest 1000 of their members is also lie
"Let me confirm to you that our warriors had actually attacked three banks, namely BankPHB, First Bank and Unity Bank and carted away huge money, we took the measure because the mode of operations of the banks were not established based on Islamic ideals", Abu Zaid declared.
When asked if Islam allows anybody to forcefully snatch something from its original owner as they did after attacking the banks, Zaid said: "we had carefully investigated the affected banks and found that the owners and majority of its depositors were big men who siphoned public funds and kept there. Also we discovered that even if we take the money, government would definitely pay them same. We also raided the banks and take the money because this would not affect small depositors."
He stated that in as much as the banks continued operating contrary the Islamic code, monies snatched from them were "legitimate as we were out to eliminate all aspects human socio-economic affairs, which go against our faith. . . underrated our capability as we are determined to attack Aso Rock Presidential Villa".
The spokesman further added that the group would only accept a temporary cease fire, when members of the Joint Task Force (JTF) are withdrawn from the streets of Maiduguri . . . "if government was sincere on the peace deal, it should withdraw the military from the state".
