Things to Know About Cancer [1]
Key Messages:
- Teens can develop common childhood and adult cancers, but they need different medical, social and emotional support than either children or adults.
- For many teens, learning about the type of cancer they have and their treatment options helps them feel more in control and less anxious.
- Most teens receive treatment in specialized cancer centers, and many receive treatment through clinical trials.
Cancer in teens is rare. Teens can develop cancers commonly seen in children, as well as those more common for adults, such as melanoma, testicular cancer, and ovarian cancer. However, doctors have found that teenagers have special medical, social, and emotional needs that are different from younger children and adults with cancer.
Below are the most common types of cancer in teens, ages 15 to 19. For more information on each type, select a name below.
- Hodgkin lymphoma [3] (16%) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma [4] (8%)
- Germ cell tumors [5], including testicular cancer [6] and ovarian cancer [7] (16%)
- Central nervous system (CNS) tumors [8] (10%)
- Thyroid cancer [9] (7%)
- Melanoma [10] (7%)
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) [11] (6%)
- Soft tissue sarcoma [12] (7%)
- Osteosarcoma [13] (5%)
- Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) [14] (5%)
- Ewing sarcoma [15] (2%)
- Other cancers [16] (12%)
Learning about cancer
Finding out more information about cancer and knowing what to expect during treatment may help some teens feel more in control and less anxious. Here are some ways to find cancer information:
- Go to one of the many sites about cancer available online, including those written for teens. Just remember that not everything you read on the Internet is reliable and up-to-date. Ask your doctor or nurse to recommend some good websites or find other resources for teens with cancer [17].
- Ask your doctor to give you information written for patients.
- Get in touch with support groups of other teenagers who are going through or have recovered from the same cancer as you.
- Go to a public library and ask the librarian to help you find information about your type of cancer.
- Speak up during your doctor's appointments and ask questions [18]. Becoming involved in your care helps you feel in control of the situation. Talk about the cancer and treatment with your parents and doctor so you can fully understand.
There is a lot of information available about cancer, so don't feel like you have to read everything right away. Talk about the information you find online with your doctor.
Finding a cancer specialist and treatment center
Most often, teens with cancer receive treatment at specialized cancer centers where different types of doctors work together to plan treatment. These doctors may include medical oncologists, who specialize in treating cancer with medication, and pediatric oncologists, who treat children with cancer. Your current doctor or nurse may also help you and your parents find a pediatric oncologist or a medical oncologist who specializes in adolescent and young adult oncology. Learn more about choosing a treatment facility [19].
Understanding your treatment options
Cancer is treated in many different ways, depending on the type and location of the cancer and whether it has spread. Your oncologist will work with you and your parents to come up with a treatment plan, including the types of treatment you will have and how long treatment may last. Being prepared and knowing what to expect is an important step in the treatment planning process.
Many teens who have cancer receive treatment as part of a clinical trial. A clinical trial is a research study to test a new approach to treatment to evaluate whether it is safe, effective, and possibly better than the standard treatment. Clinical trials may test such approaches as a new drug, a new combination of standard treatments, or new doses of current therapies.
If you are younger than 18, your parents must legally give consent for you to participate in a clinical trial. However, you will also be asked to give informed assent. When you give informed assent, it means that you understand what will happen in the study and that you agree to participate. Ask your doctor or nurse to find out if there are clinical trials for you. Or, you can check www.clinicaltrials.gov [20] or www.curesearch.org [21]. Learn more about clinical trials [22] and how cancer is treated [23].

The Anderson County Sheriff's Department will review an incident involving a court bailiff who "lost" his gun on the way to work one day last week.
John Shuey, a courtroom bailiff who also serves as an Anderson County commissioner, was putting his personal belongings in his pickup truck one day last week when he apparently drove off with his .40-caliber handgun on the truck's bed rail.
Shuey got to work and realized the gun was missing and reported the incident, Chief Deputy Mark Lucas said. As a bailiff, Shuey is employed by the Sheriff's Department and his weapon is issued by the Department.
"He didn't hear it roll off," Lucas said in regards to the gun apparently falling off the truck bed rail.
Deputies, as well as Oak Ridge police officers, began a search of property near Shuey's home and driveway, Lucas said.
"A resident found the gun and turned it in to Oak Ridge (Police Department) while we were looking for it," the chief deputy said.
Lucas said the Sheriff's Department will review the incident, mostly because it's a policy violation, but also because of the safety issue.
As a county commissioner, Shuey represents Oak Ridge's Highland View, Glenwood and Pine Valley districts.

|Storage standards to watch in 2007
If the storage industry is anything, it's dynamic. But some things never change: the need for more storage capacity and the endless search for better, less tedious ways to protect data.
Storage magazine's editors have reviewed technology developments, product introductions and storage standards (see "Storage standards to watch in 2007") over this past year to identify those we expect will become the hot storage technologies in 2007. Some of these technologies, like iSCSI SANs and virtualization, have appeared in these pages for years. This coming year, however, both appear poised to cross a major threshold. Other selections, like hardware-based tape encryption, are based on new technologies that attempt to address a single issue: stemming the tide of identify theft and misappropriation of corporate secrets resulting from lost data tapes.
Thin provisioning, long championed by a single storage system vendor, 3PAR, has gained the attention of many more vendors and is showing up in more products. We expect thin provisioning to become an essential disk-array feature because it saves money by avoiding the need to overbuy storage. Disk-drive technology continues to defy predictions of how much data can be packed onto a disk. The storage industry will introduce 1TB disk drives in 2007 and even greater capacity drives will follow soon after. Other new technologies--data deduplication, continuous data protection (CDP), data classification and information lifecycle management (ILM)--look promising, but need more time to mature and gain acceptance (see "Not hot in 2007").
Our picks for the hot storage technologies in 2007 follow. Specific vendor or product references are representative examples of each category.
|Not hot in 2007
iSCSI SANs
Midsized organizations were early adopters of iSCSI because of its low cost and easy implementation. Previously, 1Gb/sec was about as fast as IP networks ran, but that didn't matter. "Performance wasn't a concern. The big benefit was cost," says Steve Meckling, network services administrator at Shiloh Industries Inc., a manufacturer of auto-industry components in Valley City, OH.
iSCSI has been steadily gaining momentum. According to a recent report from Framingham, MA-based research firm IDC, the iSCSI protocol is expected to capture more than 10% of storage systems revenue and an even greater percentage of capacity by 2008. In the early days of storage networking, large enterprises viewed iSCSI SANs as "training wheels" that would someday grow into a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN for industrial-strength performance. FC has steadily progressed from 2Gb/sec to 4Gb/sec. But IP/Ethernet recently leapfrogged FC in the performance race with 10Gb/sec Ethernet over copper. At 10Gb/sec, iSCSI offers a faster pipe than FC, and will continue to hold that edge even when FC gets to 8Gb/sec in a couple of years.
However, iSCSI was never just about performance. "The elevator pitch for an iSCSI SAN is that it saves money by using Ethernet; but what users really like are the features they get automatically with iSCSI SANs--load balancing, snapshots and more," says Stephen Foskett, director of strategy services at GlassHouse Technologies Inc., Framingham, MA. "iSCSI SAN is definitely happening."
For the enterprise, the issue now is coexistence. "Places with FC SANs are installing iSCSI SANs, too. They want alternatives. iSCSI won't replace FC; rather, it lets large companies make storage decisions based on business needs," says Mike Karp, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates, Boulder, CO. "Almost every storage product vendor is supporting iSCSI these days," he adds. Even enterprise storage vendors like EMC Corp. and IBM Corp. have embraced iSCSI.
In terms of cost, iSCSI SANs still have the edge over FC. For example, Shiloh Industries currently operates 17TB of storage using four EqualLogic Inc. iSCSI SANs, which cost approximately $40,000 each.
Hardware-based tape encryption
The reasons to encrypt data became obvious this year: a succession of incidents in which backup tapes disappeared; federal directives mandating government agencies encrypt stored data; and 34 states currently requiring companies to inform anyone whose identity might have been compromised by lost data.
There are a number of ways to encrypt stored data--at the host, through a network-based appliance, within the storage device or tape library--but the tape device promises the fastest performance with the least impact. We may be going out on a limb with this prediction, but we expect hardware-based tape encryption to become the preferred choice of the largest enterprises with mainframe-based data centers.
These data centers back up sensitive data for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of customers. They need reliable performance and transparent operations. "These are the companies that manage data on tape for the long term," says Robert Amatruda, IDC's research director, tape and removable storage.
For the rest of the IT world, hardware-based tape encryption will appear in the next generation of LTO devices, LTO-4, probably beginning sometime in 2007. The LTO-4 products will probably involve little or no price premium over today's nonencrypting LTO drives, notes Robert Abraham, president and senior analyst, Freeman Reports, Ojai, CA.
For big data centers, IBM and Sun Microsystems Inc./StorageTek introduced encryption built into their tape drives. IBM introduced data encryption on System Storage TS1120 tape drives. These drives encrypt data at tape speed, avoiding the need for host-based encryption that eats host CPU cycles. Sun offers the StorageTek Crypto-Ready T10000 tape drive, which supports a variety of operating systems, including z/OS, Solaris and Windows.
The enterprise products don't come cheap. The Sun product costs $37,000, plus a $5,000 charge to turn on the encryption feature. The IBM product is $35,000. Encryption appliances like those from Decru Inc. (now owned by Network Appliance Inc.), NeoScale Systems Inc. and Vormetric Inc., as well as upcoming LTO-4 drives will be less expensive than tape-encryption drives from IBM and Sun; however, IBM's and Sun's products appeal to enterprises that run large mainframe data centers. "These data centers want an end-to-end storage solution," says Amatruda. "They want native tape drives and don't want the uncertainty of dealing with little companies."
While the enterprise products aren't for every organization, once LTO-4-based tape encryption becomes available, expect tape-drive encryption to become more of a commodity with appropriate pricing.
High-capacity disk drives
Various experts periodically predict that magnetic disk is approaching its capacity limit, as the magnetic dots can't get smaller or be packed closer together. Yet engineers always find a new way to stuff more data onto a disk.
"Think of it as the relentless march of Moore's Law," says Peter Steege, enterprise disk segment marketing manager at Seagate Technology LLC. This year, perpendicular disk-recording technology, which stacks data vertically on the disk, is enabling Moore's Law.
Using perpendicular technology, Seagate expects to introduce a 1TB disk drive in 2007 with larger disks to follow. A 2TB disk drive within a few years is quite likely. Current enterprise-class SATA drives boast a 1.03 million hour mean time between failures (MTBF). The 1TB drives will have a 1.2 million hour MTBF. Other vendors, primarily Maxtor Corp. (acquired by Seagate) and Western Digital Corp., are expected to follow with similar capacity disks.
The 1TB enterprise-class SATA disk drives are coming along just as data centers are feeling the squeeze to store more data while conserving rack space, floor space and energy. "The array vendors are asking for bigger capacity drives," says Steege. A 750GB drive requires no more power than a 500GB drive. A 1TB drive will deliver 50% more capacity per watt than existing drives using the same enclosure.
Although extremely large drives present challenges in terms of RAID rebuilding time, storage managers are welcoming them. "We're definitely interested in the 1TB disks," says Seth Mitchell, infrastructure team manager at Slumberland Inc., which has a chain of more than 100 mattress stores in the Midwest. Today, Slumberland uses 500GB FC disks. The larger drives will save the store money because its array vendor, Compellent Technologies, charges by the spindle. Expect to see the drives deployed in high volume, low-performance situations such as archiving, data retention, compliance and backup to disk.
|Report card on our 2006 predictions
Two years ago, we picked virtualization as one of the hot technologies for 2005. Well, as the old saying goes, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." (See "Report card on our 2006 predictions") In 2007, we expect virtualization to embed itself throughout the infrastructure. "When virtualization is used right, it will be everywhere," says GlassHouse Technologies' Foskett.
Virtualization shows up in practically every part of networked storage and is a central component to any unified storage strategy. Any automated heterogeneous storage management strategy will require a virtualization layer to mask the complexities and intricacies of the underlying storage devices. We don't think 2007 will see the issue of where to put virtualization resolved, but we do believe that there won't be any question about its value.
File virtualization will be especially hot in 2007. With NAS growing rapidly in the data center, Robert Stevenson, managing director, storage practice at New York City-based TheInfoPro Inc., says in 2007 storage managers will focus on improving their file content with file virtualization products such as Acopia Networks Inc.'s Adaptive Resource Switch (ARX) and EMC's Rainfinity.
Thin provisioning
The best way to understand thin provisioning is to think about airline overbooking. By analyzing passenger behavior, airlines know that a certain number of passengers won't show up at departure. So they sell more seats than they have available.
"[Thin provisioning] is no different than overbooking," says Greg Schulz, founder and senior analyst, The StorageIO Group, Stillwater, MN. "You tell each host that it has more storage available to it than it actually has, knowing that it's unlikely to need all that storage anytime soon."
The key to thin provisioning is to track usage closely and install more physical capacity before you need it. "A lot of vendors are offering thin provisioning today. The difference is how well they track and predict capacity usage," says Schulz.
3PAR pioneered thin provisioning, but other vendors, such as Compellent, LeftHand Networks Inc. and Network Appliance have jumped in, says Mark Bowker, analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group, Milford, MA. Pillar Data Systems Inc. will add thin provisioning to its Axiom array early next year and Bowker expects more companies to do the same.
Thin provisioning differs from storage on demand. With storage on demand, the extra capacity is physically resident in the array, but not accessible until you purchase the key and provision it. In thin provisioning, there's no extra physical capacity. When you need more physical disk, you just plug it into the array when it arrives. As far as the hosts are concerned, the capacity, fully provisioned, has always been there.
Poised to take off in 2007
Those are the five technologies we feel will be "hot" in 2007. Large enterprises with mainframe data centers will find tape-based hardware encryption an enticing solution to securing corporate data. Small and midsized organizations have gravitated to iSCSI SANs and more will follow. Now large organizations can add iSCSI SANs to their infrastructure to give them options when aligning storage with business needs.
Almost every organization can take advantage of large-capacity disk drives for backup, compliance or archiving. Thin provisioning provides what amounts to just-in-time storage acquisition, which saves money. Finally, even though we've listed virtualization as a hot technology before, trust us: This is the year virtualization, especially file virtualization, really becomes hot.

Related MediaPSC's "Harlem Shake" video
Polk State College Students Get In On 'Harlem Shake' Internet Trend
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 11:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 11:18 p.m.
On Thursday afternoon, students at Polk State College couldn't make out what they were seeing.
Check It Out Online
WHAT: Polk State College's "Harlem Shake" video.
WHERE: www.facebook.com/WeAreSALO
One guy was wearing a banana costume, others were wearing crazy balloon hats. As music started to play through a sound system, things went crazy when it was time to "Do the Harlem Shake."
Polk State College has joined the Harlem Shake Internet phenomenon. The Student Activities and Leadership Office recorded the online video Thursday and Friday on the Winter Haven campus and will upload it to YouTube tonight.
"It's 30 seconds of complete stupidity," said Victoria Lightsey, 19, a student at PSC.
The Harlem Shake is an internet meme, a popular Internet inside-joke, which features the song "Harlem Shake" by electronic musician Baauer.
In a half-minute video, a person dances by himself, usually wearing a helmet or costume, or with a small group of people nearby who are minding their own business. Then the place goes crazy when the song says "Do the Harlem Shake." Usually the place will be flooded with people wearing crazy costumes and dancing uncontrollably.
The Harlem Shake started to spread around the Web in February, and thousands of videos were uploaded from universities, workplaces and sports teams, such as the Florida Southern College Women's Basketball team.
Carlos Parra, director of student life at the PSC Winter Haven campus, wanted to do a PSC version. Parra wanted this video to be different from other versions so he included a foam pit and water slide.
More than 100 students heeded the call, showing up in costume and acting crazy for the camera.
Some of the memorable costumes included Deadpool from the Marvel comics and the return of Vic the Viking, the school's mascot when Polk State College was Polk Community College.
"It's the same things that we saw in other videos from across the state, so seeing our students participate at the same level is what a student activities office here hopes to accomplish," Parra said after the video shoot. "We want them to have the same type of experiences they do at all the other schools locally."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Chris Messina illustrates why Twitter has gotten this far -- and why it faces one of its biggest challenges now that it has gone public.
Messina, who never worked at Twitter and doesn't own any stock, is the guy who came up with the # symbol used to organize tweets about a common subject (#TwitterIPO identifies tweets about, of course, the IPO). And he's not alone -- he's among a cadre of Twitter fans who helped come up the features that define the social media site.
On Thursday, I chatted with Messina about how the company will now balance the needs and interests of its very devoted user base with its need to please a new set of followers: shareholders.
"With outside money comes outside influence, especially people who don't understand social media," said Messina, now head of community and growth at NeonMob, a San Francisco startup, where he went after leaving Google (GOOG).
The fear among passionate Twitter users and developers is that if the company becomes too protective and proprietary of the service, in order to further its business interests, "it may alienate them for good," he said.
All public companies face the challenge of keeping and attracting customers and still making shareholders happy. But Twitter is different. Its users have a unique sense of ownership even if they don't own TWTR shares.
When Twitter's founders haphazardly created the format, they argued about how or why people would use it, according to several recently published accounts of the company's formative years.
But then people took to the platform and helped develop its unique identity. They created Twitter's language of hashtags, the @ symbol and the idea of retweets. They surprised the company by flooding the site during major news events, causing it to crash repeatedly with its famous "Fail Whale" image.
They, to a larger degree than just about any other social media site, helped make Twitter what it is -- a global communications platform used by presidents and pop stars, one where tweets about today's breakfast and tweets about the Arab Spring both find a place.
But starting today, the company has shareholders to please, not just users. That puts the San Francisco company in a tricky position. Its users will be scrutinizing every change, and every change risks mutiny.
So far, it's managed adjustments to the site without serious problems.
But that could change. Take, for instance, the company's decision to offer more media-rich postings like video clips, TV ads and big images in a person's Twitter feed. That may appeal to users -- time will tell -- but it is really appealing to advertisers. And the company will have to make all of its future decisions with both constituencies in mind.
It will be an extraordinarily tough balance. Cyberspace is littered with companies that didn't get it right -- hello, MySpace! -- and examples of companies that did.
Google's home page is probably the most expensive piece of real estate in cyberspace -- but it's not for sale at any price. Its founders have made the choice to sacrifice short-term profits for the long-term interests of its users and the value of its brand.
What choice will Twitter's executives make? (And remember, Google has an unusual share structure that gives Larry Page and Sergey Brin control of the company, so they can worry less about Wall Street. Twitter doesn't have this cushion.)
A New Hampshire native who came to Silicon Valley after attending Carnegie Mellon University, Messina was a social media consultant when he suggested using the hashtag symbol, At first, it did not take off. But eventually, hashtag use picked up, first during the San Diego fires of 2007 and then by political leaders during a battle in Washington, D.C. Now the hashtag is a key part of the Twitter language.
Messina is optimistic about the company's future and what the IPO signifies. "So long as Twitter protects the integrity of its brand, continues to fight for being an open platform to all comers, and strives for it to be defiantly inclusive, it should do fine, post-IPO," he said.
The danger is that the more Twitter tries to appease the quarterly demands of Wall Street, the more it risks losing the passionate following of developers and innovators it has attracted.
The company should celebrate today's success. It's earned it, and it has its users to thank. But after today, the really hard work starts.

Gladys Young of Danville decorates her home with dozens of festive items, yet the result is simplicity and elegance, not clutter. She offers some tips to streamline the process:
1. Simplify by coming up with a theme. On a tree, for instance, "You don't have to have a lot of the same kind of ornaments to do a theme," she said. It takes only a handful of similar items -- whether it's Santas or penguins or Dickens characters -- supplemented with simple pine cones or other ornaments.
2. Use everyday household items in different ways. "I'll move things from other parts of the house for displays," Young said. This year, she moved certain paintings to complement a themed tree, and set up a table lamp in a guest bathroom for gentler lighting near a poinsettia.
3. Keep out the clutter. Make each piece a focal point.
4. Hide cords. "I don't like seeing electrical cords," she said, "so I wrap them around banisters or place greenery over them."
5. Take advantage of post-holiday sales. "Some of the best things I've gotten have been on half price," she said. "You don't have to spend a lot."

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, March 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A big crowd gathered to officially break in the new Richmond County Sheriff's Office southside precinct.
Plans for the building started early last year when Sheriff Ronnie Strength was still in office.
"I was not sold on it immediately. I was worried about the funding," Strength said.
They used inmate labor to renovate the building, and the project came in under budget.
The building used to be a jail, and it took a lot of work to turn it into the new precinct.
"It's nice, it's clean," Capt. Scott Gay said.
It's also a much-needed update from their old digs behind the Southgate shopping center.
"It just deteriorated over the many years we were over there," Gay said.
But one of the real benefits of this new building is its location on the busy Mike Padgett Highway.
"There's a lot of fatalities out here, and I think coming out here, moving the precinct out here, is going to help tremendously, especially with the traffic problem," Strength said.
"Just having a presence on the southside, having the officers able to respond, it makes all the difference in the world," said Sheriff Richard Roundtree.
It's something drivers on the southside like Tony Green are excited about.
Green drives Mike Padgett Hwy every day.
"It's real dangerous. I mean, people speed up and down these streets and they try and make these lights," Green said.
But with another fatality on Mike Padgett Highway just a week ago, deputies have their work cut out for them.
"We still have some issues out south on Mike Padgett, but the inner portion of Mike Padgett, we're seeing some results."
There's still a little bit of construction left to be done. Sheriff Roundtree says they are looking to build an easement so they can cut straight to the traffic light.
They say, right now, with the one entrance, it's difficult to get out depending on the flow of traffic.

Knitter's Review
April 23, 2009
Fiber festivals can be overwhelming. With so much yarn available, how do you know what's good and what's to be avoided?
I can't guide you through each festival, but I can point you toward one special yarn that you'll likely see on the New England festival circuit this summer. It comes from an equally special vendor who raises sheep in western Massachusetts. The yarn is called Upland Wool and Alpaca from Foxfire Fiber.

MARTINEZ -- A husband and wife charged with nine felony counts related to the 2012 stabbing death of a Hercules woman were ordered by a judge Thursday to stand trial on all charges and enhancements.
Judge Patricia Scanlon made the ruling on the fourth day of a preliminary hearing in which a prosecutor sought to show sufficient evidence to bind Tania and Darnell Washington over for trial in the slaying of Susie Ko, a retired kindergarten teacher. The Washingtons, represented by separate counsel, will be arraigned in Contra Costa Superior Court on Aug. 11.
"It has been a long, frustrating journey as we have waited almost two years for the preliminary trial," said Sandy Ko, Susie Ko's eldest daughter in a statement, "but it's a huge relief that the outcome did not go any other way. We are very pleased with the job the district attorney has done, and thank all family and friends that continue to support us."
In making her ruling, Scanlon challenged the credibility of a psychologist who testified that Tania Washington was a battered woman and psychological hostage of her husband, and the argument of Larry Barnes, one of Tania Washington's two attorneys, that his client was "a factually innocent woman ... who was present with a husband who was a criminal maniac."
"I think the district attorney provided more than enough evidence to show they acted together," Scanlon said.
Police say that on Aug. 28, 2012, Tania Washington helped Darnell Washington escape from San Bernardino County Jail, where he was awaiting trial on robbery charges. Five days later, Darnell Washington shot and wounded a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy. The couple committed several carjackings before fleeing Southern California to Fresno, Fremont and eventually Hercules, where they sought another vehicle to use in their flight from authorities.
"They went to Mrs. Ko's house, they went inside and they murdered her," prosecutor Molly Manoukian said in her final argument Thursday.
Ko was killed Oct. 5. The Washingtons, driving Ko's Subaru Outback, were arrested near Seattle on Oct. 10.
"I am glad that Judge Scanlon was able to hear enough testimony to bring this to trial," said Hercules Councilman Dan Romero, who was mayor when Ko was killed. "The defendants will have their day in court. The evidence will speak for Susie Ko."
Given the charges and enhancements, the couple are eligible for death penalty prosecution. The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office has not announced whether or not it will seek capital punishment.

Improving care for dying people has moved onto the national stage with a prestigious institute announcing it will try to refocus medical care to match the kind of end-of-life experience patients and their families most value.
The Washington, D.C.-based Institute of Medicine announced last week it is drawing together experts to review federal policy, financing and hospital practices.
Recommendations of the private, nonprofit arm of the National Academy of Sciences often make their way into U.S. laws and federal agency policies.
The panel's mission comes after this newspaper's yearlong Cost of Dying series explored the financial and emotional drain on patients and taxpayers in a health care system that tends to isolate the dying amid high-cost, high-tech treatments.
The series -- posted at www.mercurynews.com/cost-of-dying -- concluded with a story that prescribed ways to make end-of-life care more affordable and humane and led to community meetings throughout the Bay Area.
"I am very excited. The time is right. People are finally paying attention," said Kate O'Malley of the California HealthCare Foundation where she works on improving end-of-life-care.
Increasingly, media reports reveal that patients, families and physicians across the nation are troubled by the high-tech battle against death that often compounds suffering rather than eases it.
"During the last century and more, death has evolved from a common family event centered in the home to a medical event occurring in a distant medical facility overseen by trained experts and administrators," the Institute of Medicine reported in announcing the new study.
"Coordinated, expert, compassionate care for people dying from chronic diseases continues to challenge the American health care system."
One major goal is to include families caring for the seriously ill. The panel's findings, to be released in spring 2014, will be well publicized in a way, the institute said, that considers "the fears and anxieties surrounding aging and death" and also the nation's cultural diversity.
The National Academy of Sciences is also hosting the first National Summit on Advanced Illness on Jan. 29 and 30 to spark a movement to break barriers to good end-of-life care.
Sixteen years ago, the institute issued a landmark report, "Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life." In 2003, its "Describing Death in America: What We Need to Know" report outlined the need for better understanding of the effectiveness of end-of life-care.
But much has changed since -- such as technological advances, demographic and cultural shifts, improvements in comforting care and growing concern over costs.
"I welcome this committee," said Dr. Steve Pantilat, director of UC San Francisco's Palliative Care Program. "A great deal has happened since the last report to improve end-of-life care -- yet challenges remain."
He said he looked forward to the work bringing less stressful care to dying people.
Provisional members of the panel include Dr. Phillip Pizzo, former dean of Stanford University School of Medicine, bioethicist Dr. Bernard Lo of UC San Francisco, and other national experts from Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Duke University and elsewhere.
The first meetings of the Committee on Transforming End-of-Life Care will be Feb. 20 and 21 in Washington, D.C.

The ultimate Mac OS X FTP + SFTP + S3 app
Transmit is an excellent FTP (file transfer protocol), SFTP, S3 (Amazon.com file hosting) and iDisk/WebDAV client that allows you to upload, download, and delete files over the internet. With the most Mac-like interface available, Transmit makes FTP as simple, fun, and easy as it can possibly be.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: ftp , sftp , filetransfer , idisk , webdav , s3
32 Opinions
The bestest and FTPest and overall Panicest FTP, SFTP client. Thou shalt buy this.
Beats sliced bread hands down.
The best and fastest FTP app with many useful features. The transfer process is very stable also for a large number of files.
version T4 it's a must have!
I love my truck works well and is smartly designed. Well done Panic
Bad non-English characters support (including search). Switch to Forklift.
I've used Transmit for a very long time. I love "my little truck." Reliable, powerful, easy, quick. I can always count on it. Never a complaint.
Elegant UI, excellent functionality, occasional performance hitches; despite being a paying user for years, I've switched to YummyFTP for SFTP and vanilla FTP, because I prefer its Finder-like hierarchical view. (I do web dev for a living; I don't use Amazon S3, and avoid WebDav like the plague!) But if you're only gonna pay for one FTP app, Transmit is the one to buy!
My favorite FTP, and I've tried lots. Plus: the owner of the company responds to email -- lightning-fast and very polite.
Stable, reliable and simple. Other FTP clients are cheaper, have more features or have a slicker design. But somehow I always end up using Transmit.
I think of it as a professional tool. Expensive and boring. :-) Transmit doesn't get in your way. It gets the job done. It has the perfect feature set. It just works. What more can you want from an FTP and WebDAV client?
Not only is it a great, fast SFTP app, but it's a beautiful Mac app. One of the best around.

STOCKTON - The Stockton Police Department will be featured in at least one segment of "Cops" at 8 p.m. Saturday when the popular television show moves to the Spike network to start its 26th season.
"Cops" crews rode along with Stockton officers in May and June, shooting several segments that will air during episodes throughout the season, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the department. "Cops" is moving to Spike after 25 years on Fox. The documentary program debuted in 1989 and is now one of America's longest-running shows.
"To have 'Cops' follow our officers was an honor for the entire Police Department," Police Chief Eric Jones said. "I'm also glad that our citizens will get to see what our officers face on a daily basis."
"Cops" producers said they selected eight stories to air as seven-minute segments on episodes throughout the season. In one segment, a woman quarrels with her 70-year-old boyfriend after he tries to flush her dead husband's ashes down the toilet. In another, officers deploy a police dog to pull a burglar out of a tree.

Obama Open to House GOP Immigration Plan
President Barack Obama said in an interview that aired Friday he could support the sort of immigration plan that House Republican leaders are exploring: legalization for most of the 11.5 million people in the U.S. illegally, with the opportunity—but no guarantee—of citizenship down the road.
The emerging House plan would give legal status to most illegal immigrants and then allow them to access existing pathways to legal permanent residence, also known as a green card. Those pathways include, for instance, marrying an American citizen or being sponsored by an adult child who is a citizen. Then, once someone has a green card, they can apply for citizenship.
In an interview on CNN, Mr. Obama said he could accept something along those lines.
"If the Speaker proposes something that says right away, folks aren't being deported, families aren't being separated, we're able to attract top young students to provide the skills or start businesses here and then there's a regular process of citizenship, I'm not sure how wide the divide ends up being," he said.

Republicans are distinguishing that standard pathway to citizenship from what the Senate did, which they call a "special pathway" to citizenship because it guarantees the opportunity for a green card and then citizenship for all of those here illegally unless they are disqualified.
Mr. Obama said that he is encouraged by the work of House Speaker John Boehner, who presented a set of immigration principles to his conference on Thursday. "The fact that they're for something, I think, is progress," the president said.
He said he would be consulting with immigration rights groups and advocates to see what they could accept but hinted that a guarantee of citizenship, which some are demanding, may not be the top priority for everyday immigrant families.
"I do know that for a lot of families, the fear of deportation is one of the biggest concerns that they've got," he said.

House Republicans Unveil Their Immigration Plan

For nearly 50 years, Linda Wetmore Halpern declined to talk publicly about her horrific confrontation with a gang of racist thugs in rural Mississippi during the hot and violent summer of 1964. She was too "embarrassed" to tell anyone about how they accosted her along the side of a road, slipped a noose around her neck and told her, "We ain't killed ourselves a white girl yet. You're going to be the first."
Finally, at the urging of filmmaker Stanley Nelson, the longtime Berkeley resident and Oakland teacher relented. She vividly recalls the incident in "Freedom Summer," Nelson's searing PBS documentary about 10 turbulent weeks when hundreds of activists, black and white, joined together in a historic effort to shatter the foundations of white supremacy in one of the nation's most segregated states.
Halpern, then a 19-year-old college student from Hanover, Massachusetts, was among the brave volunteers working to register black voters when the young men accosted her. The noose they placed around her neck was at the other end of a long rope to which they clung as they began to slowly drive off. While Halpern struggled to keep pace on her feet, the car steadily picked up speed, her assailants laughing and calling her names.
Halpern was sure she was about to die, but her assailants finally released the rope and sped off.
"I just peed all over myself," she said.
"Freedom Summer," not to be confused with Nelson's earlier documentary "Freedom Riders," is a powerful reminder of a controversial and risky civil-rights undertaking. Over that pivotal 10-week period, three volunteers were murdered, 35 churches were burned and 70 homes and community centers were bombed by residents determined to preserve the segregationist culture.
"They just messed with you all the time," recalled Halpern, speaking from the living room of her cozy Berkeley home, crammed with history books and African artifacts. In the film, she says she saw a white population that "I never imagined existed. ... The vile hatred in their eyes. It scared me."
In addition to the roadside assault, Halpern endured a seven-day stint in jail with other activists who were arrested for picketing outside the courthouse in Greenwood, Mississippi. When Freedom Summer ended, she was a changed person.
"On one level, I try to equate it with soldiers coming back from a deep military experience. You could describe it as post-traumatic stress," she said. "I grappled with a lot of disillusionment and anger, and with the good-and-evil nature of human beings and how it gets played out in the social systems we live under. ... Yeah, I was kind of messed up."
Still, Halpern's interest in social justice never waned. Upon her return to Beaver College (now Arcadia University), she joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which worked to desegregate schools in Philadelphia and waged antiwar protests.
After graduating, Halpern joined the Peace Corps and taught in West Africa for two years. When she came back to the U.S., she taught in Newark, New Jersey, while working on her graduate degree at NYU. During that time, she worked on the election campaign of Kenneth Gibson, the first black mayor of Newark.
Eventually, Halpern moved to Oakland, where she taught at Castlemont High School because she was eager for a major "challenge." She stuck around for 38 years before retiring in 2004. Today, she remains involved in the education system as a member of a group that mentors new teachers entering Oakland.
"I had the best career ever," she said. "I chose the right profession and was in the right place for a big chunk of my life. My Castlemont students were full of grit and soul and pizazz."
Through sabbaticals, Fulbright seminars and a leave of absence, Halpern took breaks during her Castlemont days to teach in Saint Lucia and Costa Rica and study in South Africa and India, all with the intention of increasing her understanding of the cultures that grew out of the African diaspora. While in South Africa in 1996, she participated with Winnie Mandela and other activists in the annual women's march.
Though Halpern is proud of the social advances made since the tumultuous '60s ("When Obama became president, I cried the entire day"), she believes there is much more work to be done.
"The 'isms' that get institutionalized are still with us, whether it's sexism, or classism or racism," she said. "They are all over the place and it's just a matter of how much of a disguise people dress them up in. It's sad that many Americans continue to live on that river called denial."
Still, Halpern is encouraged by the activism she has witnessed by her own students and other young people in recent years. And she remains hopeful that more advances are in the making.
"The idealism that was embedded so deeply in me during those Freedom Summer days is still there," she said. "I guess I will die an idealist, regardless of the amount of reality I get slapped with every day."

The running joke this week, of course, has been that everyone has forgotten about the Sao Paulo Indy 300. With the Indy 500 around the corner, it might be easy to get ahead of ourselves, but make no mistake, there is an actual IndyCar race this weekend, and it should be a good one. Oh, and if you're reading this before 10am ET Friday, don't forget those fantasy picks.
Of course, all eyes are on Will Power, as he goes for his fourth straight Sao Paulo win after year-long victory drought, but that's hardly the only thing to pay attention to in Brazil. Here are a few of the storylines to follow this weekend:
Course Tweaks: Sao Paulo will be a slightly different course this time around with Turns 1 and 2 adjusted to facilitate more passing. There's also been some smoothing of bumps on the course. We should see lap times fall accordingly.
Dry Brazil: Everyone knows, the Sao Paulo race is always rainy. However, the most recent forecast is still showing practically no chance of rain for the weekend. Usually, rain is a big surprise and adjustment. This time, it might seem like the opposite.
Tire Change: Firestone is using 2012 specification tires this weekend, which could throw some teams for a loop on setup. It'll be fun to see who's able to dial things in early, and which teams struggle with the change this weekend.
Sato Sequel?: I don't know about you, but I haven't come all the way down from the Takuma Sato/Foyt victory at Long Beach. Happily, they'll get a chance to do it all again this week, as a team that's feeling pretty good about itself is coming to a track where both team and driver have had some success. I'm pretty sure that if Taku can make it happen.
Brazilian Rock Stars: It's not the normal lineup of superstars for this race, as Tony Kanaan, Ana Beatriz, and Helio Castroneves get another chance to race in their homeland. You have to think it would be very nice for TK and Bia's sponsors especially to get a great result here, but either way, you can bet the Brazilian drivers will be the most popular autograph of the weekend. It would be especially nice to see Bia get things going in Sao Paulo, wouldn't it?
Dragon Doldrums: Dragon Racing has not had a good year so far, let's just get that out in the open. Whether it's mechanical or crash-related, there hasn't been a good weekend for the team yet. Sebastien Bourdais is mired back in 18th, and Sebastian Saavedra is in dead last among series regulars. Neither driver has a particularly good result to point to at Sao Paulo, though Saavedra did manage a P11 back in 2011 with Conquest (his best finish of that rough rookie year). Marshall Pruett's article this week pointed to the new tires as a possible culprit, though with the series racing on 2012 spec tires this weekend, it's tough to tell just how this will play out. One thing's for sure, and that's Dragon could use a really nice result Sunday.
Contenders or Pretenders?: You know what's great? Right now, there's a jumbled, crazy mess at the top of the IndyCar standings, and I have no earthly idea who will rise or fall this week. For every Castroneves and Dixon, you have a Sato and Wilson, drivers from teams not used to that rarified air. For all we know, someone else could jump in the discussion this week, or someone could experience a precipitous drop. Let's see who can keep the early mojo going heading into Indianapolis.
Livery Watch: Dario Franchitti will be in the black-and-gold Lexar livery, probably just to confuse me. Tony Kanaan will be in a white-and-red Itaipavia-sponsored machine, which will further mess with my head. Graham Rahal will be in the black, white, and blue blu-cig machine, and Oriol Servia will be in the black-and-green Valspar car. Essentially, it's Brazil, so anything goes, apparently.
Mazda Road to Indy Update: No Firestone Indy Lights this weekend, obviously, but yesterday did see the Firestone Indy Lights test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Then entire field was apparently within .7 seconds of one another. Kyle O' Gara did nice work in his first laps at Indy, finishing just behind Zach Veach for top time on the day. It should be interesting to see just such a close field fares at the always-chaotic Firestone Freedom 100 later this month.
Pole Winner Prediction: Will Power. Copy, paste, copy, paste...
Race Winner Prediction: I'll go with Power, but in my post-Long Beach euphoria, I'll take Takuma Sato for my backup.
Dark Horse Prediction: I guess we can't use Sato anymore, can we? Let's go with Justin Wilson to keep the good Dale Coyne vibes going.
Have a great weekend, enjoy the relatively early Sunday race, and rest up, because things are going to be moving in even more of a hurry starting next week!

I'm all for a Sato repeat! He's shown well in Brazil before. I can't believe that I'm saying this, but AJ Foyt Racing looks to be very strong on the street circuits this year!ReplyDelete

With only 11 Indy Lights entries at Indy, I am concerned that there may only be 3-4 running at finish. That race has been rough on that equipment. Love to see a different winner from a different team this weekend.ReplyDelete
- im4irlMay 3, 2013 at 11:10 AM
I had thought before the season that Sato would be the next first time winner because I thought he could win this race. I was one winner off (Hinch) and one race off (LB) but I'm sticking with Sato/Four for this one and hoping for the back-to-bacjReplyDeleteReplies
Awful close! :)Delete

Levee district debates taking on pump station work
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
South Lafourche levee officials are debating whether to move forward with elevating a pump station in Cut Off after being informed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that it doesn't have enough money to do the work.
South Lafourche Levee Director Windell Curole said the work is needed because levees have been raised 2-3 feet higher around the pump station, creating a gap in the system that must be closed with temporary protection before storms.
The levee district wants to remove and retrofit pipes at pump station no. 2 in Golden Meadow so it can raise them up to 14 feet to be even with the levees.
Curole said the corps had concerns about the stability of the levee in front of the pump station and asked to take over the project.
"Now the corps is telling us they have insufficient funds to do the work," Curole said.
Corps spokesman René Poché said because of concerns about the stability of the levee in front of the pump station, the corps is considering replacing it.
"A couple of options have been analyzed, and the one being considered to be built is a floodwall in front of pump station," Poché said. "This option is still under development, and the final layout of the wall could still change."
Poché said plans for the floodwall are only about 35 percent complete, and the project is not yet at a point where the agency can release a cost estimate.
But Curole said corps officials had told him the project could cost up to $6 million. South Lafourche levee officials are considering contracting out the work locally to raise the pipes and elevate the levee themselves. He believes doing the work locally could lower the cost significantly, perhaps only costing the district several hundred thousand dollars.
Locals have complained in the past that the corps' new standard for levee construction is making levees so expensive that parishes can't afford them. The corps overhauled its standards to meet a higher level of risk reduction after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 following a critique by independent experts.
"It's part of their super-stringent design standards, and we just can't afford to design to that level," Curole said.

Ten Tips for Vacationing with Your Child – Part 3
This guest post is by Elaine Hall, author of the memoir NOW I SEE THE MOON: A Mother, a Son, a Miracle and founder of The Miracle Project, a theatre and film arts program for children with special needs. She is also the mother of a fifteen-year-old son with autism. Discuss the book on Facebook and follow Elaine on Twitter @CoachE.
This is the final post in a three-post series about vacationing with your child who has autism; read the first post here and the second one here.
Tip # 7 Staycations: Same place, different experiences. Customize!
When I was a child we went on a family vacation every year, usually to the beach. One year, our finances were particularly low and we couldn't get away – so my dad made a fun time of "Vacation at home!" My dad and mom set it up so that each child and parent got "their day," and the other family members went along. My dad's choice was fishing at a nearby lake, my mom, "vegging" out at a local pool, my brother chose an amusement park, my sister a movie, and I chose going to an art museum. This special week stands out in my memory as one of the best vacations in my life.
Let your child be part of this planning process. Use a dry erase pad and write down possible ideas. Let your child circle or point to where they would like to go. For kids who are nonverbal – there is a new app for the iPad called Proloquo 2Go, which "provides a full-featured communication solution for people who have difficulty speaking." Find what communication system(s) work best for your child so that your child with ASD can have a voice in choosing where they wish to go. Let each child feel special. If possible, you can bring along a teen volunteer to help out. For moms – maybe your special day can be going ALONE to a spa day, while the rest of the crew has a picnic. Refuel. It matters.
AMC theaters now offer Sensory Friendly films where our kids can walk up and down aisles, make noise, and just be themselves.
Tip #8 Get a special pass when you go to an amusement park (or other busy venues like concerts, plays, etc.).
Some children with ASD love amusement parks; some find them too stimulating or overwhelming. Again, preparation is the key to success. Before taking Neal to Disneyland, we showed him photos, went online and let him do a virtual tour. Once we arrived there, we had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do. Remember too that your child's interests may seem odd but they are his or her interests. (Neal could go on Space Mountain 10 times!)
Most of the major amusement parks have a special disability pass where your child and family members do not have to stand in long lines. Don't be proud! Get this pass! In fact, Neal is one of the most popular kids on our block, when it comes to going to Magic Mountain, his now favorite amusement park, since everyone in his party doesn't have to stand in line!
Tip # 9 Enjoy the great outdoors.
Neal loves to be outside. I have seen him the happiest when he can be out all day long. Go camping, to the beach, hiking, have picnics, do things where your child can feel boundless with few opportunities to have to say "No," or manage inappropriate behaviors. Today there are many outdoor programs that families with special needs can enjoy:
Leaps and Boundz
FACT Family
Surfers Healing
Autism on the Seas (look for the new Miracle Project on the Seas, next summer!)
Camp Surf in San Diego
Extreme Sports Camp
Tip #10 Be Here Now (wherever "Here" is that day)!
Give yourself the present of being Present. Enjoy this precious moment. I once attended a family surf camp where the dad had spent hours preparing his son for surfing: practicing standing on a surfboard, paddling in a pool, etc. However, once at the beach, his son was so excited about being in the ocean, that he just wanted to play and dance in the waves, he didn't want or need to surf as planned. The dad moped on the beach, feeling this situation as one more failure. I suggested that he stop for a second and look at his child who was in complete joy. The father soon realized that it was his own need for his son to complete the task at hand, rather than enjoying the moments with his son. He realized as we all do from time to time, that the gift of the present is sharing time, experiences, and engagement with each member of our family … in their own special way, and in their own special time.
As I look back, even that first seemingly "failed" beach trip where my mom and Neal spent time on the patio together, was actually a beautiful bonding time between grandchild and grandmother.
Enjoy the moments. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift that is why it is called the Present.
Vacation is in part, a state of mind.
Enjoy your summer. And please let me know how your vacation goes!!!

What a terrific series! All great tips. Thank you. Another absolutely superb organization to vacation nearby and get involved with is the National Ability Center in Park City, Utah. The do adaptive recreational programs for kids and adults with all types of disablities, physical and developmental. They run affordable summer camps, including a special one for kids with autism! Their programs run the gamut from skiing to adaptive riding. My wife and I were absolutely convinced that our son couldn't ski. Their staff proved us absolutely wrong. Check out their website and start drooling.

I love vacation tips! Here's one I thought would be helpful – especially after my family's cross country roadtrip – buy a prepaid cell phone! We purchased a TracFone cell phone. We only bought the amount of minutes that we needed…never having to pay more than necessary. The best part was that there were no roaming fees. With TracFone, long distance calls cost the same as local calls! They might not be glamourous iPhones, but they are definitely cheaper!

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
First, a heads-up on the British Invasion of Toronto: This weekend, Toronto Comics Art Festival will host a number of creators from the United Kingdom, including Sean Azzopardi (Necessary Monsters), Darryl Cunningham (Psychiatric Tales), Joe Decie (Accidental Salad), Tom Gauld (Goliath), Lizz Lunney (Depressed Cat: Nine Miserable Lives) and Luke Pearson (Hilda and the Midnight Giant). Publishers Blank Slate, Nobrow Press and SelfMadeHero will also be in attendance. I ran into some other British creators at MoCCA this weekend; you'll be hearing about that shortly.
Comics | Gary Northfield shows off some of the art from his comic Gary's Garden, which runs in the weekly children's comic The Phoenix:
Part autobiography, part made-up nonsense (well, mainly completely made-up nonsense to be fair), Gary's Garden delves into my favourite thing ever – me spying on the comings and goings of all the little dudes and dudettes who dwell in my garden.
This makes me wish more fervently than ever that The Phoenix would get an app or somehow make itself available outside the UK, digitally or on paper. Adding to my pain: Jim Medway offers a peek at his new comic Chip Charlton & Mr. Woofles of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In addition to those at her own site, UK cartoonist Lizz Lunney has created a lot of webcomics for Top Shelf 2.0, including The Truth About Dinosaurs, Dungaree Lion and The Magical Unicorns of Keith the Wizard. Her latest one is about a love-stricken bison, the rabbit of his dreams, and her jealous, feline girlfriend. Isn't that always the way?

You also get information about the battery-loadcycles (how often did you fully load your battery), the current charger (coconutBattery even warns you if you plugged in a wrong charger for your Notebook) and last but not least information about the age of your Mac.
coconutBattery gives you all these information just in time because of it's live-feedback interface!
Of course you are able to save the current maximum capacity of your battery - with just one click! coconutBattery uses Apple's new and really powerful technology named "CoreData" to realize this comfortable saving option.

Istat pro is quite the memory hog....
I wish there was an export-function so I cut chart the battery life in another application.
App crashes if battery is not connected (or if your MacBook Pro thinks the battery is disconnected).
Nice app! Now all it needs is a "fix broken battery" button so I won't have to buy a new one every year :-)
I prefer iStat Pro.
Does the job just as well.
Works fine for me. I'll be able to monitor how the battery's capacity changes.
Tried this recently. Not very useful, or accurate for that matter. All it did for me was give me an idea of the percentage of the original charge that my battery will charge to. That seemed fairly accurate, but not good enough to make me want to keep it.
Is unable to correctly identify wether the laptop is charging or the adapter plugged in (always says "NO").
updated as such, dvdw
I suggest using the tag "monitor" instead of "monitoring"

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Transcripts, Day 30: Electronic Edition
Pages 6 - 10 of 33
|<< 1-5
|11-15 >
|31-33 >>
1 MR RAMPTON: I thought bundle C was the witness bundle, but it
2is obviously something different.
3 MR IRVING: There should be three or four bundle Cs over there.
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It has "Halle" in the top right-hand corner
5under the "C".
6 MR IRVING: "Halle" in the top right-hand corner and also ----
7 MR RAMPTON: I do not think I have got that.
8 MR IRVING: I am sorry, could his Lordship possibly have a
9slightly better picture?
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you very much.
11 MR IRVING: My Lord, first of all, let me say that this is a
12matter which goes to the issue of evidence, the
13admissibility. It also goes to the question of the
14conduct of the case which has a bearing on damages and
15costs. So, I would ask your Lordship to bear those three
16matters in mind.
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, I think I only really need to trouble
18you about admissibility.
19 MR IRVING: At this stage.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: If you want to say anything about damages,
21then do that in your final speech. I understand the point
22you are making, but we are only really concerned with
23admissibility now.
24 MR IRVING: Well, in that case that makes this session this
25morning much briefer because I was about to take your
26Lordship through the rather sorry history of how this
1evidence was withheld from me.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not think now is the right time to do
3that. What you are, presumably, going to say (and I
4express no view about it) is that the way in which they
5have dealt with this material is an illustration of the
6high handed way the Defendants have behaved and the
7offensive way in which they have conducted their case
8generally, is that the kind of point you are making?
9 MR IRVING: I would have used different adjectives, but that is
10certainly my case, my Lord, that they have used muscle,
11they have used wealth, they have used power, they have
12used experience -- they are one of the most experienced
13firms of solicitors in this country, and I make no
14criticism of that fact -- against myself as a litigant to
15try to conceal evidence from me, although the Second
16Defendant had sworn an affidavit, they then referred me to
17the affidavit to prevent me from making further enquiries
18saying, "You can go behind that when the time comes to
19cross-examine", which, of course, has been denied me, that
20opportunity; and they have had these three versions of the
21Halle video in their hands, the Thames Television version
22as broadcast, the Dispatches version and then also the
23heavily edited version and then there is the raw version
24which I have looked at two or three times, particularly
25relating to the episode where I am standing making the
26speech in Halle. That too has been cut by the cameraman.
1 If they are proposing to attach any weight to
2this, then I would wish to make objections which your
3Lordship can well apprehend what those objections would be
4as to the admissibility. It is edited material, as a
5document, a video is a document within the terms of the
6rules of evidence and the Rules of the Supreme Court.
7That is why I made the original application under rule 24
8I think 13 or 16 to have that material struck out because
9of the withholding of the evidence from me. We had quite
10an intensive session and Master Trench, because the
11solicitors in that case broke an undertaking to bring the
12originals to the High Court for the hearing before Master
13Trench, I was unable to establish that it was originals
14and, therefore, not privileged material. But that is, of
15course, the other matter. That goes to the conduct of the
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. Just concentrate on admissibility. As
18I understand it, you do not dispute that what was shown in
19court the other day is from a tape, but you say that it
20has been so heavily edited as to give a false impression
21of what actually happened?
22 MR IRVING: It does not give ----
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Is that the way you put it?
24 MR IRVING: It does not give a complete record of my speech, my
25Lord. It omits major parts which, in fact, as your
26Lordship would see from the bundle of the letters I wrote
1before I even was aware the tape existed when I was
2applying to all the television companies for the content
3of the speech, if your Lordship were to look at the
4letters that I wrote in April 1993 to all the television
5companies frantically trying to find anyone who had a copy
6of the original film, those are round about page 19, those
7are typical letters. Then I swore affidavits in Australia
8in 1994, that is long before this action was initiated,
9the present action, saying what was in it; the fact that
10I reprimanded the people for making these stupid slogans,
11and the fact that in the part of the speech that is cut
12out I said to the audience, "You people are all young.
13I am now old. It is the other way round. It used to be
14the old people sitting in front of me and me, the young
15person, talking to me, but now you, people, are young,
16I am old. I am talking to you. You are Germany's
17future. The world's eyes are upon you, you have to start
18behaving". That material, unfortunately, is part of the
19material that has been cut out of the video tape.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, so, I mean, what you are really saying
21is that even in its unedited form, that is to say, before
22the Defendants, as it were, got their hands on it, if
23indeed they did, it gives a false impression because the
24original team -- was it an Australian team -- did not
25actually video, or This Week or whoever it was, the whole
26of what you said?
1 MR IRVING: The particular one which we have is the This Week
2raw footage and it stops and starts, if I can put it like
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: No, I appreciate that.
5 MR IRVING: Therefore, it is an incomplete record of my
6speech. It may be a complete record or give a good image,
7and I admit this, of the kind of atmosphere and the flag
8waving, and this kind of thing, and I possibly even say
9that against myself, but as far as the content of my
10speech is concerned, it is a dodgy record.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. It seems to me what you are telling me
12now really does not amount to an objection as to the
13admissibility of the tape, but is rather a submission you
14want to make that it is so heavily edited that it does not
15give a fair impression of what actually happened. It
16seems to me, perhaps, to follow that the way to deal with
17the problem is not to rule the tape inadmissible, but to
18let you, if you have not already done so, indicate what it
19is that has not been taped which would give a completely
20different impression of what you said at that meeting.
21 MR IRVING: Not only that, my Lord, but also the implication,
22the false implication, that may be given that because
23certain people are visible on the video, therefore, I knew
24them which, of course, easily obtained by cross-cutting
25and by cutting out large chunks. I would have preferred
26your Lordship to make a simple ruling that the tape may be
