Leader's promise: more of the same
Even though he often tries to portray himself as a moderate, President Obama compiled a staunchly liberal record during his first term. His Jan. 21 inaugural address was laced with left-wing boilerplate, and suggests Mr. Obama will be at least as reliably liberal during his new term.
When talking about the future, Mr. Obama used a lot of collectivist language. At one point, he said that thanks to a supposed economic recovery and an end to a decade of war, "America's possibilities are limitless." Tellingly, the president followed up on this by saying, "My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together." His lengthy talk about the virtues of infrastructure upgrades was hardly a new thing for him.

Irving v. Lipstadt
Defense Documents
David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (B) The Minsk Shooting
|< (xiv) Use of an unreliab...
(C) The correspondence between Wolff and Dr. Albert Ganzemüller277
1. The clearing of the ghettos in the General Government in Poland began in 1942, beset sometimes by transportation blockages, the first in June and the second in July. In July the railway line to the killing centre at Sobibor broke down and had to be repaired. On 16 July 1942 Wolff telephoned State Secretary [Staatssekretär] Dr. Albert Ganzenmüller of the transport ministry for help. Ganzenmüller looked into the matter and discovered that it had already been solved locally. 300,000 Warsaw Jews had been diverted from Sobibor to Treblinka. Beginning on 22 July 1942 a train a day, each packed with some 5,000 Jews was to leave Warsaw for Treblinka, while twice weekly another train was to run from Przemysl to Belzec.278 Wolff wrote in thanks:
Dear Party Member G[anzenmüller]:
For your letter of 28 July 1942, I thank you - also in the name of the Reichsführer-SS - sincerely. With particular joy I noted your assurance that for two weeks now a train has been carrying, every day, 5,000 members of the chosen people to Treblinka, so that we are now in a position to carry through this population movement at an accelerated tempo. I, for my part, have contacted the participating agencies to assure the implementation of the process without friction. I thank you again for your efforts in this matter and, at the same time, I would be grateful if you would give these things your continued personal attention. With best regards and Heil Hitler! Your devoted W.279
2. Wolff's defence was simple. Himmler and Higher SS and Police Leader [Höherer SS- und Polizeiführer - HSSPF] Odilo Globocnik had lied to him.280 Himmler had told him in July 1942 that because of increasing partisan activities he had been forced to dissolve the large and small ghettos in Poland and to herd them together in a sort of reservation in Lublin. The fertile earth and the fact that many Jews were able craftsmen would allow some of the Jews self-sufficiency. Others would work in large concentration camps manufacturing German armaments. Himmler asked him to look into the transportation problems that were preventing moving Polish Jews to the Lublin area. He had taken Himmler's explanation at face value.
3. The fact that he was ignorant of the ultimate fate of those transported from Warsaw was proven, he claimed, by the fact that his letter of thanks bore no secret stamp and the fact that he explicitly spoke of a 'population movement' [Bevölkerungsbewegung]. He had not approved of the expression 'chosen people' [auserwähltes Volk], but the letter had been drawn up by his assistant at Himmler's field commando post in Shitomir. Wolff was alone in the Führerhauptquartier in Winniza and did not want to delay matters by demanding a redrafting. The court found that it did not believe Wolff's line of defence 'because it is not the truth'.281
4. Irving quoted the notorious Wolff-Ganzenmüller exchange, but added that Wolff was 'as ignorant as Ganzenmüller of the true functions of Treblinka extermination camp.'282 Irving's own files contain a further piece of incriminating documentation. On Wolff's instructions, extracts from Ganzenmüller's letter of 28 July were forwarded to the very men most responsible for the murder of the Jews in the General Government of Poland: Globocnik and HSSPF Friedrich Krüger, as well as Obersturmbannführer Rudolf Brandt of Himmler's Personal Staff.283 Ganzenmüller himself faced a court in Düsseldorf in 1973 where he claimed to have seen and known nothing about the fate of the Jews. The presiding judge asked him incredulously if he was supposed to believe Ganzenmüller's claim to have signed, but to have taken no notice of the content, of a secret letter addressed to the office of the second most important man in the 'Third Reich'.284 There can be no claim that Irving was unaware of the grounds for Wolff's prosecution and imprisonment, as Elke Fröhlich had informed him as early as 1971 that: 'The Jewish affair is making progress. For example the indictment in the court case against Wolff of 19. 4. 63.'285
277. NO - 2207, reproduced in Raul Hilberg, Sonderzuge nach Auschwitz (Mainz, 1981), pp. 177 and 181.
278. Staatsekretär Ganzenmüller to Ogruf. Wolff, 28 July 1942, NO-2207, Sonderzuge, p. 177.
279. 'Lieber Parteigenosse Ga.[nzenmüller] Für Ihr Schreiben vom 28.7.1942 danke ich Ihnen - auch im Namen des Reichsführers-SS - herzlich. Mit besonderer Freude habe ich von Ihrer Mitteilung Kenntnis genommen, daß nun schon seit 14 Tagen täglich ein Zug mit je 5.000 Angehörigen des auserwählten Volkes nach Treblinka fährt und wir doch auf diese Weise in die Lage versetzt sind, diese Bevölkerungsbewegung in einem beschleunigten Tempo durchzuführen. Ich habe von mir aus mit den beteiligten Stellen Führung genommen, so dass eine reibungslose Durchführung der gesamten Massnahmen gewährleistet erscheint. Ich danke Ihnen nochmals für die Bemühungen in dieser Angelegenheit und darf Sie gleichzeitig bitten, diesen Dingen auch weiterhin ihre Beachtung zu schenken. Mit besten Grüßen und Heil Hitler!' (Wolff to Ganzenmüller, NO-2207, Sonderzuge, p. 181).
280. Odilo Globocnik [1904 - 1905] oversaw the murder of the Jews in the General Government and Bialystock. He oversaw the construction of Majdanek and later Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. For a short biographical sketch see Enzyklopädie des Holocaust, vol. I, pp. 546 - 47.

Chicken, Red Grape and Pesto Pizza
However, since I love to try recipes that seem a little out there, I decided to give this one a go. And you're only reading about it here because it was a success.... a HUGE success. (And remember, you always have my promise that if some wacko recipe is a failure, I do sink deep into despair, but I don't post about it. The recipe, I mean... HEE!)
Anyway, this recipe for chicken, red grape and pesto pizza is from Cooking Light and is available online so I won't reprint it here. I will however, tell you of the changes I made. First and foremost, I made my own crust. I have nothing against refrigerated wack-a-dough crust in a can and since that is what is used in the recipe, go for it. I also used shredded mozzarella cheese instead of fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese instead of Romano. The only other change I made was to pre-bake the crust for about 5 minutes before adding the pesto and the toppings.
You just might want to keep this little beauty in mind for your Super Bowl party!

Ok, thought it was time to nerd up the forum a little bit more.
I just wanted to have a look at the sci-fi references used by players in this game. If you look at the galaxies, references to some sci-fi are common, others are not.
I think the most common is references are to hitchhiker's guide. I have also seen a little bit of dune and doctor who, but not that much. I know there are also references to various video games and shows. I can't find much star trek or star wars, but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
What do you guys think the most common or best references are?

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (iii) Irving's manipula...
|< (i) Background
|(v) The fate of the Roma... >
|(vi) Conclusion. >>
(iv) Other relevant documentation.
1. The Jews of Rome were finally rounded-up and deported on 16 October 1943. Moellhausen claimed in his post-war memoirs that he was reprimanded by Rahn on October 19 to the following effect:
Apropos the events of October 16th: You got Ribbentrop's senior men on your neck; you have placed Kesselring in an embarrassing position and have weakened your own, and thus my position, in order to gain little or nothing at all. You should have reported to me and I would have tried to arrange something with Wolff. You have created chaos and have ruined everything. Very bad! 29
2. On the face of it, there is no reason to disbelieve his account, since it fits in with the contemporary documentary record, though not, of course, as amended and manipulated by Irving.
3. A second relevant additional piece of documentary evidence is the following report, written by the German Foreign Office in the discussions that followed the initial attempts to round-up the Jews of Italy:
The RSHA has informed us that the actions ordered in Italy by the Reichsführer-SS [Himmler] to catch the Italian Jews have lead to no results worth mentioning because the necessary steps have been protracted by objections from various sides, so that the majority of the Jews have availed themselves of the opportunity to find hiding in small villages etc.30
4. This reference to 'objections from various sides' no doubt included Moellhausen's actions in the matter, described above.
5. But there were other objections too. Hitler's order rode roughshod over a number of considerations on the part of various authorities in both Rome and Germany about the impending deportation. Any one of these either in isolation or combination could have dictated a policy of compromise to the less determined and fanatical mind. The greatest fear was of a public Papal condemnation. On the day of the action a letter of protest was signed by Bishop Alois Hudal, Rector of the German Catholic Church in Rome addressed to Commander Stahel. It requested an immediate stop to the arrests:
I must speak to you of a matter of great urgency. A high Vatican dignitary in the immediate circle of the Holy Father has just informed me that this morning a series of arrests of Jews of Italian nationality has been initiated. In the interests of the good relations which have existed until now between the Vatican and the German High Command ... I earnestly request that you order the immediate suspension of these arrests both in Rome and its vicinity. Otherwise I fear that the Pope will take a public stand against this action which would undoubtedly be used by the anti-German propagandists as a weapon against us.31
6.The ambassador to the Holy See, Baron Ernst von Weizsäcker, wrote urgently to the Foreign Office:Weiszäcker subsequently wrote that the pressure had been unsuccessful.33
With regard to Bishop Hudal's letter ... I can confirm that this represents the Vatican's reaction to the deportation of the Jews of Rome. The Curia is particularly upset because the action took place, in a manner of speaking, under the Pope's own windows. The reaction could be muffled here somewhat if the Jews were to be used for labour service here.
The people hostile to us in Rome are using this affair as a means of forcing the Vatican from its reserve [...] Enemy propaganda abroad will certainly view this event in the same way [as events in France] in order to disturb the friendly relations between the Curia and ourselves.32
7. Others predicted civilian unrest in Rome as a result of the deportations and a consequent hampering of the German war effort. That security problems had been anticipated is clear from the Gestapo report of the round up sent to SS Obergrüppenführer Karl Wolff. This was signed by Kappler, but presumably written by Dannecker: 'The antisemitic part of the population was nowhere to be seen during the action, only a great mass of people who in some individual cases even tried to cut off the police from the Jews. In no case was it necessary to use firearms.' *
8. A report drawn up for Stahel's headquarters for his war diary was brief and inaccurate, but finished: 'What the consequences of the Aktion will have, remain to be seen.'34 Ten days after the deportation Legation Secretary Gumpert wrote to defend the conduct of General Stahel who was under threat of with removal. On occupying the city he had quickly restored an 'atmosphere of trust' between the military authorities and the population. 'Even the measures against the Jews, which were thought strong here and all sorts of German evacuation measures could ... be enforced without any special outwardly noticeable shocks.'35
9. Irving argues that Hitler was in 'most circumstances a pragmatist' and that he would not 'willingly destroy manpower, for which his industry was crying out.'36 Why did he willingly destroy it, then, in a country which was in the thick of battle, as Italy was? Countermanding the plan that the Jews of Rome be pressed into fortification work deprived the army of sorely needed manpower. No single document illustrates this, but almost every second piece of German Foreign Office correspondence in this context is concerned with some aspect of work mobilisation, whether it be sending Italian workers to the Reich or trying to build battalions for defence work. It was clear that police forces were not sufficient to capture the Jews in Italy in one fell swoop. The diehards of the SS balked at what Hitler expected to be done with so little available manpower.
10. A meeting between von Thadden of the Foreign Office and Müller of the Gestapo on 16 October recorded:
He [Müller] does not agree with the opinion of the Foreign Office which believes that precisely here [i.e. in Italy] especially with regard to the position of the Catholic Church a surprise blow is called for. The available forces are not sufficient to do such a thing in the whole of Italy. One is therefore forced to begin with the unrolling of the Jewish question immediately behind the front line and drive the purge step-by-step further north. Gruppenführer Müller evidently had certain apprehensions at the time to do with the practical implementation of the Führerbefehl, concerning the arrest of 8,000 Jews in Rome.37
11.The only thing which separated Hitler from the SS and the RSHA was a difference in the tactics to be used in a complex situation where the Germans, in the view of some of their senior officials, lacked the strength to carry out the full measure of the 'Final Solution'.

30. Wie das Reichssicherheitshauptamt mitgeteilt hat, haben die vom Reichsführer-SS in Italien befohlenen Aktionen zur Erfassung der Italienischen Juden bisher zu keinem nennenswerten Ergebnis geführt, da durch verschiedenen Seiten erfolgten Einsprüche die erforderlichen Schritte so lange hinausgezögert worden seien, bis die Mehrzahl der Juden Gelegenheit gefunden hatte, sich Verstecke in kleinen Dörfen etc. zu suchen.', NG-5026, report by Wagner for Ribbentrop, 4 December 1943.
31. NG-5027 as translated by Michaelis, p. 366. Stahel handed the latter to Legation Secretary Gerhard R. Gumpert, who was in charge of the Germany Embassy in the absence of Moellhausen. Gumpert in turn passed it on to Berlin.
32. 'Die von Bischof Hudal ... angegebene Reaktion des Vatikans auf den Abtransport der Juden aus Rom kann ich bestätigen. Die Kurie ist besonders betroffen, da sich der Vorgang sozusagen unter den Fenstern des Papstes abgespielt hat. Die Reaktion würde vielleicht gedämpft, wenn die Juden zur Arbeit in Italien selbst verwendet würden.[ .. .] Die Propaganda unserer Gegner im Ausland wird sich des jetzigen Vorgangs sicher Gleichfalls bemächtigen, um zwischen uns und der Kurie Unfrieden zu stiften.', NG-5027, Weizsäcker to the Foreign Minisry, 17 October 1943 in Akten zur deutschen Auswärtigen Politik 1918-1945, vol. VII, p. 85. (Michaelis's translation, pp. 366-7). Note the echo of Moellhausen's plan that the Jews of Rome be put to work. Von Thadden of Inland II passed on the cables to Ribbentrop, who replied he would consider them at a later date. He also sent a routine description of Hudal's and Weizsäcker's communications to Eichmann on October 23. He in turn sent it on to the head of the Gestapo [Section IV of the RHSA] SS Gruppenführer Heinrich Müller. There the trail goes cold.

The German consulate there wired Rahn on November 6, 1943 that his and the military's actions had greatly influenced the mood of the Florence population which had long been under the sway of skillful enemy propaganda. this 'threatens to shift abruptly as a result of the Judenaktion which began today.'

While the Civil War was raging in the south, Redwood Falls was founded in 1864 on the banks of the Minnesota River – just 12 years after the Studebakers started making wagons in South Bend, Ind. Soon after the town started to grow its roots, Redwood Falls became the home of Richard W. Sears, who was the town's first railroad depot agent. He moved to the Twin Cities to join watch repairman and fellow jeweler, Alvah C. Roebuck, to start the Sears and Roebuck mail-order catalogue business in 1887. When the first automobiles came along one could even buy a new one from its catalogue. In 1914 Redwood Falls celebrated its 50th Anniversary. There were many festivities, including a parade of decorated cars of the day. A 1914 Studebaker presented by the William Rosendahl Studebaker Dealership took first place. This dealership was not in business very long. For you see, in 1917 Rosen-dahl was convicted of murdering a Redwood Falls businessman and sentenced to a long jail term. After World War II, in 1946, two brothers from Hager City, Wis. decided it would be a good time to start a Studebaker dealership in Redwood Falls. It was the only franchise available at that time. They bought an existing auto business building on Main Street – the Motor Inn Garage. It was small, but this didn't matter. Cars sold very quickly in the "seller's market." The brothers soon decided Cecil would be in charge of sales, and brother, David, would manage the service department. This new business became Baker Brothers Motors. It didn't take long for the brothers to become involved in their community, and with that, people began to buy their Studebakers. Over the years this fact was exemplified in many ways. Soon after opening their doors, there was a Studebaker taxi plying the streets of Redwood Falls for fares. In 1950 the brothers provided a Studebaker pickup for the mission festival celebration at a local church. The pickup was not used as a temporary pulpit during a church renovation as was previously reported with the now famous "Sunday Service" poster. Also in 1950 the Baker Brothers provided a Champion convertible to the local high school to transport royalty in the homecoming parade. The early 1950s was a very exciting time in small town America. The new car showings brought out many people to view the latest offerings by manufacturers. The wives of the employees at Baker Brothers Motors came to the dealership to assist by serving donuts and their special egg coffee and by passing out giveaways like pens, ice scrapers and toys for the kids, all of which had the Studebaker logo. (This writer has fond memories from his youth, making the rounds to the many dealers in his hometown to "test drive" sit in the latest offerings.) In 1961, with high school children of their own, it was not uncommon for the brothers to see their children's classmates gather at the dealership. In that year the brothers made a donation, as is often done by local businesses, to the high school yearbook, "The Cardinal." What Cecil and David are most remembered for is their dedication to truck sales in the early 1950s. During this period they sold more Studebaker trucks and pickups in their trade area than Ford, GM and Dodge combined. Cecil is quoted as saying, "They came from 50 miles out. Service was the backbone of our business." The brothers used a very successful ploy to sell their trucks. With every truck sold, the dealership would take a photo of the new owner next to their truck with the owner's name or owner's business name painted on the truck doors. Of course, all of this was offered free of charge. The photos were displayed in the dealership to entice new customers. Like Studebaker, Omaha Standard, which manufactured the wooden boxes for many of the trucks sold at Baker Brothers, has a long and rich history. Those wooden boxes were often used to haul grain and livestock to market. Omaha Standard was started in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1924 by Miles Standish who named the business after the city across the Missouri River. That way the business would have national recognition. Standish's failing business in airplane manufacturing turned into a truck body business when a man ap-proached him on the street and asked Standish to build a truck body for him. In the early 1960s the Baker Brother's business began to change. After picking up the GMC truck line, they moved to a new larger building located on the other side of town. Over the years the business continued to grow, and they needed more room. The former Massey Harris Implement and Skelly Gas Station provided the additional space for them to sell and service their two product lines. They continued selling Studebakers and GMC trucks until 1966 when Studebaker ceased production.
Page 2 of 2 - The brothers stayed in business until 1974, selling Chryslers, Plymouths and GMC trucks, and, of course, servicing Studebakers. The end had come; Cecil retired and the business was sold. It reopened under new ownership as Riverside Motors. Baker Brothers Motors is gone but lives on in the photo collection so thoughtfully taken by Cecil Baker and through the cars the brothers sold at the dealership. Duane Miller of Eldridge, Iowa, owns a '53 Commander that was sold by the Baker brothers. This writer encourages everyone to join the citizens of Redwood Falls in their celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the town's founding. – Daniel Kuhl of Hastings has been a member of the Studebaker Drivers Club for 30 years. He owns a '59 Studebaker truck and a '63 Avanti. His truck sold new at Howard Motor Company in Hastings. Kuhl gained access to the Baker brothers photo collection through his brother-in-law, Frank Frost, who knew the Baker brothers before they passed. He personally has been in contact with the brother's daughters, Anne and Barb. They have provided immense help in preparing this article and identifying the photo contents. Those contributing to Kuhl's story in some way include: Annette Barnes, daughter of Cecil Baker, Barbara L. Brock, stepdaughter of David Baker, the City of Redwood Falls Web site, Duane Miller, owner of a Baker Brothers Studebaker, Frank Frost, caretaker of the Baker Brothers photo collection and the Redwood County Historical Society.

Object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks have been around for several years now and for some people, ORM is already outdated by now. As we have seen with other technologies and concepts before, PHP is not exactly what we call an early adopter among the programming languages. Thus it took some time for ORM to grow up in the PHP context.
There have been some frameworks before Doctrine 2 that implement ORM (remember e.g. Propel) specific tasks but most of them lack the required maturity to be used in large projects. With Doctrine 2, PHP takes a huge step into the …[Read more...]

Co-stimulators of drug-trial disaster identified
14.05.2012 - German researchers found a potential co-factor that triggered the cytokine storm, which led to hospitalisation of six volunteers treated with TGN1412.
Langen – A team of German researchers from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) has identified an important mechanism that can explain how immunotherapy drug TGN1412 might have triggered the catastrophic immune reaction responsible for the 2006 Northwick Park trial. The drug-trial disaster left six healthy volunteers hospitalised. The team, led by Zoe Waibler, reports that TGN1412-mediated T cell proliferation and cytokine release triggered by the superagonistic CD28-specific antibody, requires an interaction of an inducible co-stimulator on T cells (ICOS) with its ligand on endothelial cells (LICOS). The team reports in the journal Blood. "We found that co-stimulatory ICOS-LICOS interaction between T cells and endothelial cells is critically involved in TGN1412-mediated effects."
The Phase I clinical trial of TGN1412 took place at an independent clinical trials unit at Northwick Park and St Mark's Hospital, London, on 13 March 2006. TGN1412 was intended for the treatment of leukaemia, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Eight volunteers were given the drug or a placebo by intravenous infusion, with an interval of about 10 minutes between patients. Within minutes of the last patient being administered the drug, the first began to complain of headache, followed by fever and pain. The five other patients to receive TGN1412, as opposed to the placebo, became seriously ill soon afterwards. All six male volunteers experienced cytokine release syndrome (cytokine storms) with effects similar to those of people suffering a severe allergic reaction. Each of the men was hospitalised for several weeks, with the worst affected requiring hospital treatment for four months. The drug developing company, TeGenero Immuno Therapeutics from Germany, entered into insolvency proceedings later in 2006. It assets were sold to German-Russian Theramab LLC, which develops TGN1412 under the new name TAB08 as therapy for B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and rheumatoid arthritis.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/co-stimulators-of-drug-trial-disaster-identified.html

Idea Books
As you can imagine, I burn through sketchbooks pretty fast and I had been needing a new one. Sketchbooks for me are more like "idea books." I scribble and draw all my mad little visions with little regard to whether the ideas are GREAT or just lousy. And scattered throughout, of course, are creatures and characters. This is what makes them fun to look back through. It's not unlike looking back through my college notebooks -except that the drawings are better.
Here, then, are a few doodles from my current Idea Book:

I really like the satyr-like floaty creature. His floating behavior got me wondering about the mechanism behind it which led me to think about the likely effects of his most probably high-fiber diet. At which point I reminded myself not to let my mind wander as it inevitably ends up in places best left undiscovered. Anyway, keep posting the sketches. They are always fun to see.

How do you do the yellowy bits in your sketchbook drawings? Marker? Watercolour?

I love them all.
Glad to hear you fill your pages with more ideas than finished work... I do admire all those "hollywood sketchbooks" out there in the internet, because well, they're pretty! but I far prefer to just cram in as much stuff as I can in my own sketchbook and see what happens. Thanks as always for great work!

@norz PS: this is on Mac OS 10.5 (Last.fm 1.5.4), maybe things work differently on 10.6 or 10.7.
I use alternately Spotify and Last.fm to listen to music. When streaming via Airfoil to my Hi-Fi, I found that using "Soundflower" made it easier, because I could set Last.fm's output to "Soundflower (2ch)" (in Preferences > Radio) and capture "Soundflower (2ch)" in Airfoil, instead of capturing Last.fm directly and having to switch every time I switched between Spotify and Last.fm
When done streaming with Airfoil, Soundflowerbed can be used to toggle redirection of the soundflower stream to the built-in output.
More info on the Last.fm sound output issue: http://www.last.fm/forum/34905/_/528143
For those who want to scrobble songs from Web radios, you can try this:
no auto correction / suggest on station names like on their site. Its missing a lot of features. Music can sometime go to undesired directions with no remote relation to the station set up.
I'm really impressed by how well this manages my iPod.
Thanks nils. I'll check it out.
@trolley : 1.5 is currently a beta. look at http://www.last.fm/group/Audioscrobbler+Beta/forum/30705/_/390625
Looks to me like 1.5 has been removed? I can't find it at least...
The new version 1.5 is much faster!
I stopped using this after I got CoverSutra, and for iPod support I use iScrobbler. The official client seemed bloated with features I don't use; no reflection on the Last.fm service itself, though.

Revised to November 6, 2014
The defendant is charged [in count __] with importing child pornography. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of importing child pornography when, with intent to promote child pornography, such person knowingly imports or causes to be imported into the state three or more visual depictions of child pornography of known content and character.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Imported child
The first element is that the defendant imported child pornography or caused child pornography to be imported into the state. To "cause to be imported" means to engage in conduct that results in the importation of child pornography. "Into the state" means into the state of Connecticut.
"Child pornography" is any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, videotape, picture or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, digital, mechanical or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a person under sixteen years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct, provided whether the subject of a visual depiction was a person under sixteen years of age at the time the visual depiction was created is a question to be decided by the trier of fact.
"Sexually explicit conduct" means actual or simulated (A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital or oral-anal physical contact, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex, or with an artificial genital, (B) bestiality, (C) masturbation, (D) sadistic or masochistic abuse, or (E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person.
The person depicted must be under 16 years of age; that is, (he/she) must not yet have had (his/her) sixteenth birthday when the prohibited conduct is alleged to have taken place.
Furthermore, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person depicted was or is an actual, real person. For example, a "virtual" or computer-generated image would not fall into this category.
Element 2 - Knowingly
The second element is that (he/she) acted knowingly. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or to a circumstance when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstance exists. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.> The state must prove that the defendant knew (he/she) was importing or causing to be imported into Connecticut visual depictions, and that (he/she) knew the content and character of the visual depictions, that is, that (he/she) knew they were child pornography.
Element 3 - Number of
The third element is that the defendant imported or caused to be imported into the state three or more visual depictions of child pornography. A "visual depiction" includes undeveloped film and videotape and information of any kind in any form, including computer software, that is capable of conversion into a visual image and includes encrypted data. It does not matter whether the visual depictions are different images or multiple copies of the same image.1
The fourth element is that (he/she) had the specific intent to promote child pornography. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to conduct when his conscious objective is to engage in such conduct. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.> To "promote" means to (manufacture / issue / sell / give / provide / lend / mail / deliver / transfer / transmit / publish / distribute / circulate / disseminate / present / exhibit / advertise / produce / direct / participate in).
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (imported child pornography / caused child pornography to be imported) into this state, 2) (he/she) did so knowingly, 3) it consisted of three or more visual depictions, and 4) (he/she) did so with the specific intent to promote child pornography.
If you unanimously find that the
state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime
of importing child pornography, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On
the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.

Texas Instruments cutting 1,700 wireless unit jobs
NEW YORK (AP) - Texas Instruments Inc. will eliminate about 1,700 jobs as it trims spending in its wireless business.
The Dallas-based chipmaker made the announcement Wednesday. The cuts will reduce TI staff positions by almost 5 percent.
Texas Instruments expects the job cuts and other changes will save about $450 million per year by the end of 2013. TI will take $325 million in one-time charges connected to the moves. Most will come in the current quarter.
The company is shifting the focus of its wireless investments to industrial and automotive customers and away from smartphones and tablets.
TI had nearly 35,000 employees at the end of 2011.

AUSTIN (January 17, 2013)--With key Republican state lawmakers pushing for expanding school vouchers, a group opposed to public funding for private schools was stating its case Thursday in Austin.
Leaders of the Coalition for Public Schools said Thursday that most students and their families can't afford private school tuition, even with vouchers, and Janna Lilly of the Texas Council of Administrators of Special Education noted that federal law already requires public school districts to set aside federal funds.
That funding pays for students with disabilities to attend private schools if placed by their parents.
She said that this year alone, Texas school districts budgeted $8.8 million for that program.
State Sen. Dan Patrick, who chairs the Senate Education Committee, proposes expanding charter schools and allowing parents to send students to private schools using vouchers.

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the opening of John Baldessari's Pure Beauty at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His latest retrospective at the Met includes drawings, paintings, photos, and books ranging from his earliest work to new pieces- five decades of thought-provoking work that makes this a must see. A favorite artist of mine, Baldessari pioneered the conceptual movement and inspired a generation of artists.
We've teamed up together to create a limited edition black cowhide tote, benefiting the Independent Curators International. Mr. Baldessari designed the ICI logo on the inside pocket and the metal key charm with the replica of his signature, in addition to the print on the face.

An herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family may have the ability to prevent heart attacks in recent bypass surgery patients, according to a new study. Researchers believe that extracts from ground up turmeric, often sold as a spice in grocery stores, may have heart-healthy benefits.
After bypass surgery, patients are often susceptible to heart attacks because of damage to the heart muscle caused by prolonged lack of blood flow during the procedure. The Thailand-based study revealed that the compound that causes the yellow pigment in turmeric, called curcumin, may ease the risks of this surgery when supplemented with traditional drug treatment. Researchers observed 121 patients who had non-emergency bypass surgery between 2009 and 2011. At the end of the study, it was calculated that the patients who had been taking curcumins had a 65 percent lower chance of suffering from a heart attack following the surgery.

This isn't the first time researchers have celebrated turmeric for its health benefits. The plant's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been utilized for centuries by practitioners in traditional Chinese and Indian medicines. The curcumin in turmeric is considered to be the primary pharmacological agent in the plant.
In multiple studies, the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin have shown to be as potent as popular medications, such as hydrocortisone and Motrin. These anti-inflammatory effects, paired with its antioxidant effects, make curcumin an ideal treatment for arthritis. It helps neutralize the free radicals that are responsible for painful joint inflammation and joint damage that is common in arthritis sufferers.
Curcumin may also aid in the fight against cancer. Studies have suggested that the compound can help destroy mutated cancer cells and prevent them from spreading through the rest of the body, thus causing more harm. According to researchers at Medical University Graz in Austria, turmeric may also help delay liver damage that can eventually result in cirrhosis.
In its plant form, turmeric grows to be a flowering plant that stands between 3 and 5 feet tall. To get to its spice form, the plant's rhizomes are harvested, boiled for several hours, dried in hot ovens, and ground into the spice that most folks are most familiar with. In addition to its uses in the kitchen, turmeric is also used for dyeing and to color mustard condiments.
In order to reap the benefits of curcumin, you could purchase a turmeric tincture, capsule or tablet. However, it is much more delicious (and fun!) to use turmeric in the kitchen as a spice. Check out a few of our favorite recipes:

Compliment: You look nice today.
Response: No I don't. I've got bags under my eyes. I haven't slept at all.
Compliment: Nice sunglasses.
Response: Oh thanks, but they're old and scratched already.
Compliment: Cute shoes.
Response: Oh, they're old. And scuffed. I'm really hard on shoes. See the heel? It looks like someone's been chewing on it.
What a collection of self-deprecating comments, and that was just in the span of a five-minute experiment in our newsroom one day last week. It's an example of the quirky human tendency to deflect personal praise.
And not only deflect, but often destroy.
Men do it sometimes (the response about the sunglasses was from a guy), but women are by far the bigger praise assassins, able to take your compliment, throw it on the ground, stomp on it and set fire to it, beating their own self-confidence to a pulp in the process.
Such responses occur so often they've become fodder for a hilarious -- and raunchy -- video created by Comedy Central's Amy Schumer that's been making its way around the Web in recent weeks (bit.ly/12yxerc). It shows a group of girlfriends running into each other on the street and flattering one another about clothing, weight loss and hairstyles, only to be met with responses such as, "I'm, like, a size 100 now," or "I paid, like, $2 for this dress. It's probably made of old Burger King crowns," playing the game of one-upsmanship in false humility.
At last another friend arrives, is complimented and merely says, "Thank you!" and the rest of the friends go nuts.
The video is obviously extreme and silly, but many women admit they do this sort of thing all the time.
Beth Siti, a graphic designer who lives in Point Richmond, has made a conscious effort to stop tearing herself down after receiving nice comments. But it's tough.
"I used to do it even more than I do now," she says. "I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, that we're taught not to brag. Or if it comes from feeling excited when you're in the spotlight for a moment -- that somebody noticed that my hair looked nice or that I have cute shoes.
"I mean, you want the compliment," she says, "You want people to notice your cute shoes. But in a way, knocking it down is a way to make yourself feel more comfortable about it. 'Oh these old things?' "
It's also kind of annoying for the bestower of the compliment when the recipient basically rejects it, says etiquette expert Lizzie Post of the Emily Post Institute. Post is Emily Post's great-great-granddaughter and co-author of "Emily Post's Etiquette," 18th edition.
"It's so obnoxious when people do that," she says. "It's odd, too, because often the same people who would easily accept praise at work or at a tennis or soccer game if you said, 'Great shot!' are the same ones who are unable to accept a compliment about physical looks."
Post says she has many friends who do the "praise rejection" thing, and it creates an awkward situation for the person offering the nice words, she says. "You think, 'What do I do now? Just drop it?' "It's definitely refreshing when someone just says 'Thank you.' "
To be sure, a simple and sincere "Thank you" is indeed the appropriate response. "It's not arrogant, not cocky, not conceited," Post says. "It's polite. If someone says, 'I like your dress,' say, 'Thank you, it's one of my favorites, too,' or 'Thank you, I really do appreciate that.' It's not hard."
Take it or leave it
Tom Plante, psychology professor at Santa Clara University says there isn't a simple answer to why people, especially women, find it hard to accept personal praise.
"Part of this issue is that we often have to manage very mixed messages about ourselves that can be challenging and embarrassing when we're confronted with them," he says. "So while we try to present ourselves in a positive, attractive and appealing manner, but when our efforts have been noticed, then we often feel pleased but also embarrassed, since we don't want to look like we are narcissistic or trying too hard."
Plante agrees this tendency is especially true for women, who are often raised to be more humble than men. "More assertive and self-confident women take the compliment, say 'thank you,' and move on. But those who struggle more with self-esteem issues ... are less likely to handle the compliment without blushing."
Simple response
Betty Brown of Oakland was recently complimented on a deep purple blouse with decorative beading on the collar. And, hold on to your hats, she said, "Thank you," and that was it! When called on her shocking retort, she added, "If someone takes the time to say something nice, the least you can do is thank them."
Of course, Siti points out there's another reason that people often respond with things like, "Oh, I just got this for five bucks at Old Navy." It depends on the crowd you're with, she says.
"If you're with a group of bargain hunters and coupon cutters, it's not so much a cutdown. It's actually a badge of honor."

"Strings" is the story of a troubled musician who, in the wake of his daughter's death, seeks out an experimental therapist to turn his life around. When the therapist calls for him to leave everything behind and take on a new identity, the musician realizes his new life isn't what it seems and his therapist is using patients to commit vigilante crimes. After eight years as a criminal, he sneaks back to visit the life he left behind.
"'Strings' is a complex thriller drama with intricate character portraits that keeps audiences guessing as to how the plot will resolve itself," said Janice Kurbjun, executive director of Breckenridge Festival of Film. "With its intriguing cinematic aspects and story line, it's no wonder 'Strings' won the Audience Award during its world premiere at the Breckenridge film festival in 2011 and went on to capture awards at Long Island and SoHo film festivals, among others."
"Cadaver" follows a dead body who wakes up to say a last goodbye to his wife but discovers a truth in death he didn't know in life. He goes on a little road trip with a couple of girls who work in the morgue. The short was directed by Jonah D. Ansell and has a voice cast that includes Christopher Lloyd, Tavi Gevinson and Kathy Bates.
"Cadaver" won Best Animated Short from a handful of festivals, including the Chicago International, Hollywood Film Festival and Cyprus Film Festival.
"You just can't see these awesome shorts outside of film festivals," said Laurie Rambaud, from the Breckenridge Backstage Theatre. "I love that we get to see them paired up with great films. Next week, I am really looking forward to the All-Shorts night."
There is still time to vote for May's Viewer's Choice Film, on the theme of Thrills, to be shown Wednesday, May 21, at 7 p.m. Options include "North by Northwest" (1959), "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), "Jaws" (1975), "The Shining" (1980), "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) and "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991). Go to www.backstagetheatre.org, or vote in person at the theater.
In July, the people's choice focuses on Buddy Movies, ranging from "Some like it Hot" to "Blues Brothers" and "The Big Lebowski."
Concessions, which are available for all film screenings, include Milk Duds, beer, wine and mixed drinks. For more information about the Classic Film Series, visit www.backstagetheatre.org or call the box office at (970) 453-0199.

ALAMEDA -- Coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver regularly heap praise on right defensive end Lamarr Houston. Slowly but surely, others outside the Bay Area are taking notice.
Houston has a golden opportunity to bolster his stature, given the Raiders play in front of a national TV audience Monday night and Denver Broncos standout left offensive tackle Ryan Clady is out for the season with a foot injury.
Houston figures to see a whole bunch of Chris Clark, a fifth-year player making his first start at left tackle in the NFL and first of any kind since 2011.
General manager Reggie McKenzie on Wednesday also made it clear just how much the Raiders value Houston by saying they are attempting to sign him to a contract extension right now.
Allen said Houston, in his fourth year, still has room for improvement.
"He's coming into his own as a veteran, but he's still relatively young," Allen said. "There's a lot of growth and a lot of improvement that he can make. ... It's just a matter of how hard are they going to work at it, and Lamarr's worked extremely hard at it."
Houston has taken on more of a leadership role this season on the heels of the departures of veteran defensive linemen Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour. He also switched from the left side to the right.
"He has the skills to play almost anywhere along the front," Tarver said. "He has skills to drop into coverage if we needed him to. ... He's running that show up there up front, so we're excited with where he's going."

Leaders of the Vermont Legislature say a looming series of automatic federal budget cuts could cause enormous problems with Vermont's budget for next year.
House speaker Shap Smith, a Democrat, says the budget being considered for next year is already tight and any cuts from Washington could "upset the apple cart."
The federal budget cuts are due to take effect Friday.
Vermont will lose an estimated $15 million. Most of cuts will be in education, mental health and environmental programs. As many 1,000 defense related workers could be furloughed.
Smith says that if the cuts go into effect, Smith says it will be hard to fund some of the spending initiatives of Gov. Peter Shumlin, including child care, energy, and Medicaid.

All other expenses for the trip including, but not limited to: housing, health insurance, travel expenditures, visa costs, books, other living expenses for the 3rd and 4th year, etc. are the sole responsibility of the student.
Do I need health insurance?
Health insurance is mandatory for the full term (approximately 4 years) of the program. All students have the option of purchasing the AU health insurance plan, which is generally incorporated into the bill with tuition and fees. If this option is waived, the student is responsible for finding independent health insurance. All AUWCL students who are abroad will be required to find independent health insurance for the final year of the program.
Will I be able to attend commencement at AUWCL?
Students can participate in commencement as long as they have received a complete record of their courses and grades and these have been cleared by the Registrar's Office for graduation. This means that all students who have met the requirements for graduation, and who have AUWCL as their home institution, should be able to participate in commencement the last semester of the program (generally in the Spring of the 4th year). All costs, in relation to trips back to the US for this purpose, are the responsibility of the student.
When am I eligible to take the bar exam in the US?
You are eligible to sit for a US bar exam once you have earned your JD at AUWCL.
What kind of jobs are available to me after completing the program?
Careers have varied among program participants. Some have returned to their home country, while others have stayed in the host country. Jobs have been diverse, from the State government, large international firms, to large international development bodies.
