This class explores connections between creative practices and contemporary research into perceptual phenomena in the human senses, many of which are surprisingly different from what we assume, and will modify the way we think about designing for people. As our consideration of design conditions such as perceived values, actual fine scale interactive properties, and human-object behavior all evolve, its helpful to deepen our understanding of these complex and meaningful topics, including contemporary visual cognition, sound, optics, haptics and understanding complex systems. There are components of language, drawing and vernacular knowledge systems connected with these other 'energy' related questions. The class will combine a series of five prepared seminar/presentations with personally devised assignments that build upon a chosen aspect of a student's studio interests: . human vision and light . sound, audio and analog/digital challenges . touch, haptic intelligence and the hand . strategies for emergent knowledge building . cumulative Q+A seminar with visiting specialist Students will produce experiential and conceptual studies clearly developed from one or more of the class strands. Class outcomes can be directly connected with an individual's studio or thesis work, or can be freestanding studies connected to the overall theme of 'how materials and structures support human experience and need'. Open to juniors and above
This studio aims to facilitate student exploration into self-driven research and creation of new material composites utilizing natural fibers. Most natural structures are made out of fibrous matrixes, fixed in place by resins, while many industrial processes today are still created by heat-molded petroleum products. Fiber composites have the potential to be lighter, stronger, and far more ecologically sustainable than their plastic counterparts. The research and practice of utilizing natural fiber composites grows increasingly important in the contemporary economical and environmental context making this an exciting area for academic research and hands-on exploration. After this course, students will have a better understanding of recent history and trends in alternative materials. They will understand the concept of self-supporting structures and the use of bidirectional curves in 3D design. Students will develop and research experimental material combinations, experience constructions with different structural schemes, learn the appropriate structural scheme for its specific context, as well as to start thinking about biologically-friendly material alternatives that can be incorporated into various design solutions.
This course will focus on the art of upholstery design. It will teach the basics of traditional techniques and materials; cover historic influences; and explore methods used in mass production.

This course looks across two disciplines, food and furniture, finding places of intersection to establish a common ground and uncover distinctions, which help define the identity of each field. We begin with an exploration of the tools used to acquire and prepare food. Students research a specific activity related to gathering and cooking. The investigation looks beyond the supermarket into cultural, historical, and ecological aspects. This creates the foundation for the design and creation of a tool that responds to the immediate needs and challenges of the activity while also communicating aspects of its origin. The second project looks at the role objects and design can play in the way we present and serve food to others. Ray Eames was known to serve guests "Visual Delights" of nonedible flower arrangements for desert, taking the adage that "we eat with our eyes first" quite literally. Students select a food or food sharing tradition and design an object for its presentation. We look closely at the sensory, material and aesthetic interactions between the food and the object to develop a deeper understanding of the subtle influence of objects. Throughout the semester we keep a record of our own food habits and object encounters that can serve as a means of investigation and archive. Using a series of field trips, lectures, discussions, and guest speakers, this course looks at how both furniture and food emerge from and contribute to our current culture and identity. We discuss the ways in which each has the potential to reflect upon the other and examine parallels within emergent trends. This in depth examination of the themes of food and furniture, objects and behavior allows students to design and create objects that address specific situations and needs while developing skills that are applicable across a wide variety of scales within the discipline of furniture design.
Long known as the "Beehive" of industry, Providence RI is one of the most diverse manufacturing hubs in the US. Although today's global market continues to absorb these resources, Providence has retained a highly skilled manufacturing center that is eager to work with the creative arts. This rare resource provides designers the unique ability to work locally with manufacturing re-sources from traditional lost wax casting to emerging manufacturing technologies such as laser cutting, multi-axis cnc, and rapid prototyping.

Breakfast foods in China widely differ from region to region. Therefore, it is hard to list all the Chinese eat for breakfast. Here we will introduce some traditional, popular, and famous Chinese breakfast foods. They are readily found on snack streets every morning.
Dim sum (点心 diǎnxīn /dyen-sshin/ 'touch the heart') is one breakfast tradition that can be found in Chinatowns all over the world. It began in Cantonese-speaking Southern China as a snack to be eaten during yum cha (饮茶 yǐnchá /yin-chaa/), or 'drinking tea' time. The dishes are small and succulent.
At restaurants customers pick from a large selection of tasty choices, which are served in steamer baskets or on small plates.
Dumplings are a traditional dim sum treat. They are filled with vegetables, shrimp, tofu, or meat and wrapped in a translucent wheat or rice flour skin.
Other common dim sum dishes include bao, which are baked or steamed buns, as well as meatballs, chicken feet (known as "Phoenix claws"), small pastries, rolls, and sweets... The variety is almost endless.
Tea is also an important element of a traditional dim sum breakfast. Diners may choose from green, oolong, jasmine, chrysanthemum, or other types of tea. Learn more about How to Have Dim Sum and Yum Cha.
Chinese people eat baozi — steamed, filled buns — at any meal, but they are especially popular at breakfast. Baozi can be filled with ground pork, vegetables such as spinach or eggplant, eggs, or bean paste; indeed, there is an almost endless variety, both savory and sweet.
And variations of baozi can be seen regionally within China, including Tianjin 'dogs ignore' buns (狗不理包子 gǒubùlǐbāozi /go-boo-lee baoww-dzuh/) and Shanghai 'small basket buns' (小笼包 xiǎolóngbāo /sshyaoww-long-baoww/). They are a popular street food. Learn more about Chinese Steamed Stuffed Buns.
Congee (粥 zhōu /joh/) is probably the most common mainstay of the Chinese breakfast, it is a mild-flavored rice porridge that has been cooked long with plenty of water to soften the rice.
To give the congee flavor, congee is usually served with different toppings that vary by region, such as pickled vegetables, fermented tofu, peanuts, eggs, and meats.
Sometimes congee is made with black rice, which becomes purplish when cooked. Some find this colorful congee to be so flavorful; it doesn't require any toppings at all.
There are also many variations of congee based on different types of rice used and the additional ingredients, including beef, pork, preserved egg and meat (皮蛋瘦肉粥 pídàn shòuròu zhōu /pee-dan shoh-roh joh/), corn, and mung bean.
Many Chinese enjoy having a bowl of noodles for breakfast, and there is a wide variety of noodle dishes to choose from.
In Northern China, where wheat is more commonly eaten, a bowl of hot and flavorful wheat noodles is a popular breakfast dish.
In Wuhan, hot-and-dry noodles are eaten at breakfast by almost everyone. This dish is prepared by frying boiled noodles, drying them, then scalding them quickly and adding spicy condiments. The result is chewy and quite tasty.
Rice noodles are more often eaten in the South, along with steamed sweet potatoes, another Southern specialty. In Guilin, Guilin rice noodles is a very famous and popular cheap meal. Local people eat it not only as breakfast, but also lunch or dinner. This snack is made of boiled rice noodles, fried peanuts or soybeans, thin slices of different meats, chopped scallion, pickled mustard, and other ingredients that you can choose according to your preference.
Zongzi (粽子 zòngzi /dzong-dzuh/) are dumplings made of sweet glutinous rice, wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed.
They can be bought at street stalls and have a variety of tasty fillings, including red bean paste, egg yolk, fatty pork, chestnut, and lotus seeds. Zongzi are especially popular as a festival food and are frequently eaten during the Dragon Boat festival. Learn more about Zongzi.
Wontons (馄饨húntún /hwnn-twnn/) are a traditional Chinese breakfast food. This popular food can be found in most Chinese cities. Wontons are made of a square wonton wrapper (a dough skin made of flour and water) and fillings.
They can be boiled in fragrant and watery broth, steamed in a bamboo steamer, or fried in a high-heat wok.
They are available with a large variety of fillings, such as ground pork, shrimp, fish, mushroom, and vegetables.
Actually each region of China has its own variations on the wonton. For example, in Guangdong, the wonton is usually filled with shrimp and minced pork, and served with tiny noodles to make 'wonton noodles'.
In Sichuan, because the Sichuan people like spicy food, wontons are served with red chili oil, and called 'red oil fried hands'(红油抄手 hóngyóu chāo shǒu /hong-yoh chaoww shoh/).
In Shanghai or Suzhou, wontons are usually served with chicken soup or pork bone soup. They are best eaten with something dry, like a boiled egg or steamed bun. Learn more on How to Cook Wontons.
Chinese crepe wraps (煎饼 jiānbǐng /jyen-bing/) are quick-cooked thin pancakes or crepes filled with typically savory or spicy ingredients. A popular street food in China, they can be easily found, and are a favorite "breakfast on the run".
The crepes are usually wrapped around a deep-fried crispy dough slice, and topped with fried egg, finely chopped mustard pickles, scallions, coriander, and a spicy sauce.
Tangyuan (汤圆 tāngyuán /taang-ywen/ 'soup circle(s)') are ball-shaped dumplings made of sticky rice flour, with different fillings, such as white sugar, black sesame seeds, red bean paste, peanuts, walnuts, rose petals, and jujube paste, or any combination of two or three ingredients.
Tangyuan can be boiled, fried, or steamed, and are customarily served in clear soup, fermented rice soup (called 'sweet wine' 甜酒 tiánjiǔ /tyen-jyoh/), or in a ginger infused syrup. They are also a popular festival food eaten at the Lantern Festival.
Douhua (豆花 dòuhuā /doh-hwaa/ 'bean flower') or tofu pudding is a popular Chinese snack made with very soft tofu. Flavors of douhua vary by region. In the North, people like to eat savory douhua with soy sauce or salt. However, in the South, people prefer the sweet version with ginger and brown sugar syrup. People usually eat douhua together with youtiao and eggs for breakfast.
Youtiao (油条 yóutiáo /yoh-tyaoww/ 'oil strip(s)') are long, brown, deep-fried sticks of dough, which are a very common breakfast ingredient in China. They are usually are eaten together with soy milk or rice congee.
The most common drinks for breakfast in China are soy milk, cow's milk, yoghurt, and fruit juices, of which soy milk is the most popular one.
Doujiang (豆浆 dòujiāng /doh- jyang/) is a type of soy milk usually made with a blender. You can find freshly blended or boiled soy milk in urns at most breakfast stalls, which serve it sweet or savory. It is usually served warm and frequently eaten with youtiao. Soy milk with dough sticks is the most popular breakfast combo.
In China, most hotels (except some five-star or four-star hotels) only provide a Chinese-style (buffet) breakfast, with no Western food offered in the morning. Common breakfast options provided in most hotels are fried rice, fried noodles, ham, pork, pancakes, steamed stuffed buns, congee, boiled eggs, vegetables, and some drinks like milk, soy milk, coca cola, and orange juice.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Reason being, Kasey illegally came into a business which had already been taken over by new ownership and brought me in as old ownership client. I found this out directly from Danny, the rep from Summit, who had purchased Alpine from Jen and Justin. A Government official who was employed with Alpine previously did a search for me of business or umbrella businesses in Orem Utah where the transitional housing was supposedly located and NOTHING CAME UP! Jen told me herself to keep my bags packed if I move into the transitional house because when the state comes in to license them, NOBODY CAN LIVE THERE! Yet she wanted 10k dollars. I left her a message respectfully stating that the remaining balance from the 13 days that the program I paid for would be non-existent should be used to cover the first month and once I see an actual program in place after the first 30 days, I have no problem paying more money.. There was absolutely no recovery being taught at this facility and I have numbers to each of the last 3 clients of alpine that will not only verify my story, but they have some interesting stories of their own. THERE IS NO AFTERCARE BEING PROVIDED TO ANY OF US WHICH WE ALL PAID FOR. Mikey was supposed to have an aftercare plan drawing up for him by the dr. and they never did it. He ended up doing it himself!!! These people are corrupt and if it wasnt for the multiple umbrella corps they have to save their a*s, I would sue for medical malpractice because that is EXACTLY what it was.

While some people certainly invest in utilities for growth potential, many like them for their dividend yields. While money market funds are still yielding just several basis points, and the rest of the fixed-income market is struggling to provide meaningful yields as the Fed continues to keep rates low, some investors are turning to dividend paying stocks to fill in the income deficit.
Utilities have the benefit of being economically defensive to the built-in demand for services like electricity and water. After all, no matter how bad the economy is, people will always need basic utility services. And some companies are especially adept at kicking out a good chunk of that income to shareholders as dividends.
Some of the utilities with especially high yields often times warrant a bit of skepticism. A recent dive in the stock price could cause the yield to look artificially high. Also, a high yield could be viewed as unsustainable. Fortunately, there are a few higher yields out there that appear to be sustainable. Each supplies a basic utility need and provides a current yield of over 5%.
FirstEnergy (NYSE:FE)
FirstEnergy is an electric utility provider that primarily serves the eastern United States. The company currently sports a hefty 5.9% yield. While the dividend hasn't been raised since late 2007, FirstEnergy has been able to maintain that dividend since that point.
The stock price has hovered in a range for the last few years, and looking at the results we see a company that is doing more sustaining than demonstrating growth. That can be confirmed by looking at past growth as well as future growth estimates. The company has averaged -6% annual growth for the last five years (yes, negative growth) and is only forecast to grow at a 2%-3% rate for the next five years.
FirstEnergy might be on a more stagnant path instead of a growth path, and that may warrant keeping a closer eye on the stock. But for the past five years the company has maintained a solid dividend history.
Suburban Propane Partners (NYSE:SPH)
Suburban Propane engages in the distribution of all types of fuels such as propane and natural gas. The company had a bit of trouble in the past quarter. While revenues rose over 60% year over year, reported earnings missed Wall Street expectations, delivering a loss of $0.77 per share vs. expectations of a $0.57 loss. The earnings miss affected the stock price, which dropped almost 10%, but there's still reason for optimism. As fracking for natural gas continues to increase, the company figures to benefit from the improved demand for delivery of these new natural gas reserves.
Despite the recent trouble with the stock, the dividend has remained intact. At a current yield of 7.7%, it remains one of the best yields in the industry. Better still, that dividend has remained strong. The dividend payout has remained relatively flat in recent years, but has demonstrated a solid long-term dividend payout history.
Amerigas Partners (NYSE:APU)
Amerigas Partners is one of the largest distributors of propane in the country. If you're searching for a solid dividend growth history in the utility sector, look no further than Amerigas. This company pays a current 6.8% annual yield and has been growing the dividend steadily over the past eight years.
But like Suburban Propane, the company missed on revenue and earnings in the most recent quarter, and saw its stock price drop about 10%. As a result, future revenue and earnings estimates are also starting to come down.
But there is reason for optimism. Analysts are still forecasting modest growth for the next several years and, compared to other companies within the industry, valuation on the stock looks relatively cheap. Amerigas is also working through the integration of Heritage Propane into its current operation, and once that is completed it should enhance the company's production and distribution capabilities.

I read it is possible to display one icon per category.
I'd like to do this. How?
I use Suffusion.
I have set the max. to 8 (using cat icons light 1.2), but it doesn't seem to work. I want to display the hierarchy of my categories. E.g. I have articles (icon: a pen). Some articles are columns (a pen and a megaphone) and others are interviews (a pen and a microphone) etc. All I get is one icon per category. A pen for articles, a megaphone for columns etc.
Do you have any suggestions?

I need to sort posts on the home page by a date value contained within an array that is stored in a custom field.
In other words, the custom field contains an array called 'data' and the value by which I would like to sort posts is contained in $data['my_date'].
How would one go about setting up the arguments for query_posts() to achieve this?

By Walter T. Ham IV, 8th U.S. Army Public AffairsJune 15, 2009
SEOUL - During the Army birthday celebration here June 12, the commander of all American Soldiers on the Korean peninsula recognized Army NCOs for their leadership.
Citing the acknowledgement the U.S. Army is giving to its enlisted leaders in 2009 during "the Year of NCO," 8th U.S. Army Commander Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr. praised Army NCOs, on and off the Korean peninsula.
"This year, we are squeezing 234 years worth of gratitude into 12 months to honor the leaders who are the backbone of our Army - the NCOs," said Fil. "Army NCOs occupy that important piece of real estate where the boots meet the ground. The best plans aren't worth much without the right leaders on the ground to make them work."
Fil also emphasized the 8th U.S. Army's enduring commitment to the ROK-U.S. Alliance. He said the alliance's continued readiness has been and will remain the key to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and throughout the region.
"As combat veterans know, the best war is the one you never have to fight. So we continue to train together with our Korean allies to stay ready for all possible contingencies, to stay ready to deter aggression, to stay ready to fight and win," said Fil. "The surest way to have a peaceful tomorrow is to remain ready to fight tonight."
The general said the Army birthday ball was an opportunity to reflect the service's accomplishments.
"From muskets to machine guns, the U.S. Army has grown from a small band of determined patriots into a global force for good, serving in more than 120 countries," he said.
Calling the United States Army the preeminent land power in the world, he said that the strength of the Army comes from its people and the strength of its people comes from their shared sense of resolve.
"We confront the dangers, discomforts and hardships of our profession of arms together," said Fil, "and we derive our collective strength from these collective experiences."
"We are Army Strong because we stand tall together. We are Army Strong because we serve a cause greater than ourselves. We are Army Strong because we believe in our great nation strongly enough to defend it."
Founded on June 10, 1944, the 8th U.S. Army liberated more 60 islands during World War II, served as the occupation force in Japan and repelled communist aggression in Korea.
The United States Army was founded on June 14, 1775, by the Continental Congress.

3 idle thoughts for Friday
1. How can you have a bad day when you've got your dog looking at you on your computer?
2. While I'm sorry American Airlines retirees are unhappy about their travel benefits, I'm glad they held a protest and that so many nice people came up and introduced themselves.
3. I was surprised at the non-sympathetic comments on our blog item about the protest. Maybe it's because that for most people, retiree travel benefits are limited to the right to travel out the door that last time at retirement.

In other words, the stats page appears to be recording visits to itself. This is strange because it's not supposed to be recording visits to the front-end of the site when I'm logged in (I've made sure that the "Count the page views of registered users who are logged in." option is UNchecked in the Jetpack configuration settings), let alone the back-end.

They called back to back 5 times, she said no, so the last tim they called she said she can't afford it and maybe at a later date. So they turned around and verified her personal information like routing number ss# which she hadn't even given to them, and she ask how they got it.
They said they won't sign her up and then turned around and took it out of her acct. And now her house payments are late. They just messed my parents up really bad. This was about 5-2003, we tried calling the number they gave to her and it was not in service. So now we have talked to the police and waitng on a copy of this transfer check thing and gonna get her back on her feet. But I look forward to them getting caught and hopefully suing them for my parents harship and false signture or forgery.

Hi, in preparation for TTC, I had my thryoid check at the end of July -- I've been treated for hypothyroidism for a few years now and am on 100 mcg of Synthroid.
Here are my July 24 results:
Everything was looking great. We decided we were going to TTC in September and conceived on September 19. I got a BFP on September 30! I figured my thyroid must be okay to get pregnant on our first try.
Luckily, I had an endo appointment schedule for 2 days later on October 2. (this is literally 4-5 days after implantation).
I'm still waiting on full results BUT my TSH was 6.0 -- is it possible to jump that high that fast?
My Endo increased my dosage from 100 mcg to 150 mcg and I've been taking that for a week now.
The last time I had my antibodies checked was around 4 years ago where they found very low antibody activity (seems vague and I don't have the number!) I would like to have them checked again but my Endo suggested I wait 4 weeks to redo my TSH, FT3, FT4 and she will then include the antibody tests.
Am I being paranoid or does 4 weeks seem like a long time to wait? I feel so out of control of what's happening in my body and I don't want to lose my precious baby. How bad is a TSH of 6 and how much does this increase my chances of miscarriage? I'm trying not be obssessive but part of my wants to push my Endo for at least the Antibodies test this week vs wait another 3 weeks.
Any thoughts/advice would be welcomed. Also, any positive stories about healthy pregnancies with early Thyroid issues (within first the weeks) would be really appreciated. Thanks everyone!!

Read the paragraph and then answer the following four question:
The study of the flight of projectiles has many practical applications. The main forces acting on a projectile are air resistance and gravity. The path of a projectile is often approximated by ignoring the effects of air resistance. Gravity is then the only force acting on the projectile. When air resistance is included in the analysis, another force, FR , is introduced. FR is proportional to the square of the velocity, υ. The direction of the air resistance is exactly opposite the direction of motion. The equation for air resistance is FR = bυ2, where b is a proportionality constant that depends on such factors as the density of the air and the shape of the projectile.
Air resistance was studied by launching a 0.5-kg pro-jectile from a level surface. The projectile was launched with a speed of 30 m/s at a 40? angle to the surface. (Note: Assume air resistance is present unless otherwise specified.)
How does the amount of time it takes a projectile to reach its maximum height compare to the time it takes to fall from its maximum height back to the ground? (Note:b is greater than zero.)
A. The times arc the same.
B. The time to reach its maximum height is greater.
C. The time to fall back to the ground is greater.
D. Either can be greater depending on the magnitude ofb

Hello, I installed the super cache on my blog but am not sure about something.
I have the wp-postviews plugin installed, and it usually refreshes the number of views of a certain post immediately. Now I've read that such plugins wouldn't refresh until the cached static pages are updated.
My question is: Does that mean that the post views are currently counting the number of readers, but will only show the change in number of views when the static pages are updated? Or right now it is not calculating anything it all?

DENVER, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/14 -- The PostNet printing franchise plans to add 200 Neighborhood Business Centers in America over the next five years. So who are the folks starting these franchises? They're people like a mother-daughter team that overcame obstacles that would have derailed most entrepreneurs, a seasoned print broker who wanted to expand the scope of his business, and an architect eager to bring 3D printing to entrepreneurs nationwide. They are just a few of the entrepreneurs who have recently joined PostNet.
Here are their stories. To read more about them, visit the blog at www.postnetfranchise.com.
Single moms make impact
Lovely Mitchell, 31, and her mother, Sandi Fleming, 47, are proof that hard work and ambition combined with courage make a powerful combination for a small business owner. After getting pregnant as a teenager, Sandi graduated from high school and supported herself and her young daughter by opening a nail salon. Lovely, who also had a child in her teens, graduated from high school and also became an entrepreneur.
They recently teamed up to buy a PostNet in Tempe, Arizona. Lovely staffs the store, and Sandi spends time in the community educating business owners about ways they can market themselves effectively. Their goal is to build their business by helping others grow and prosper.
Longtime printing pro joins PostNet
Most new PostNet owners don't have a lot of printing experience. Michael Looby is a big exception. He has offered printing and graphic design services for three decades to everyone from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, but he was ready to be part of a bigger organization that could offer more services. He expects his PostNet in Wheeling, Illinois, to help business customers have a bigger impact.
3D printing enthusiast leverages PostNet network
Dave Thorsen joined PostNet with a big goal: to make 3D printing convenient for entrepreneurs nationwide. His new Neighborhood Business Center in Minneapolis is the first PostNet in the nation to use a 3D printer to create prototypes for customers, and he is offering the service nationwide through PostNet's franchise network. Thorsen sees 3D printing as a tool that will help inventors get businesses off the ground. From there, PostNet marketing services can help the new businesses take off.

The rotors and pads fit my 2009 Lexus GS 350 to the manufactures specs required. They look good and stop the vehicle very well. The kit came complete with clamps if needed and shipping was very quick.

Bought these to replace powerstop drilled and sloted rotors and pads that lasted 15000 miles on my wifes Focus SVT. Found the drilled holes filled with rust particles after car sat more than a few days(we live in far northern New York) and then ground down the pads and rotors. Hoping the slots will provide similar cooling and stopping power with out the rust. Rotors and pads look good and fit well, easy to install even for an old man. So far so good, good stopping power, no noise and no dust
Well worth the money.

Excellent braking characteristics. No more brake fade while towing. My vehicle is known for a poor brake pedal feel. You never felt like you had efficient braking power. This Armada used to chew up rotors every 6000 miles. I only use it to vacation with the family. I would be towing about 6000 lbs plus 5 other adults. This package remedied my problem.

Digestive Issues
I was having abdominal pain about 3 hours after meal for 2 weeks. The pain radiated to upper right abdomen and I felt like bending over when the pain started. My GP sent me for blood test and scan with negative results. After desperately looking for an alternative therapy, i found your web-site & figured out it could be a bug. That evening, I had a teaspoon of turmeric powder, some cinnamon and half teaspoon of baking soda with warm water. The taste was actually quite nice with the cinnamon powder. I thought it was such coincidence that I did not feel any pain for the 1st time in 2 weeks the next day. And I continued with the concoction every evening for 5 days. Amazingly, the pain did not come back at all. To me, this is a miracle. Thank you for this site and to everyone for sharing.

Nothing to say except I'm glad it's over, which, of course, it isn't.
On the first full day of deliberations the jury had a question that so perplexed the judge and lawyers that clarification was sought before it could be answered.
A first for this trial, we heard Tsarnaev laugh. While waiting for jurors to enter the courtroom to be dismissed for the day Tsarnaev, chatting with his lawyers as he usually does, let out a guffaw, then quickly checked himself.
The jury in the Boston Marathon bombing trial heard closing arguments yesterday on sentencing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to life or death. Here are the sketches.
Yesterday was a strange day, eighty degrees in the morning, fifty-five by afternoon. It was also the last day of testimony in the death penalty case against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.The defense called as their final witness Sister Helen Prejean of "Dead Man Walking" fame. She testified about several meetings with Tsarnaev during which he once said, "No one deserves to suffer like they did." Whether that was an expression of remorse, or merely regret is not clear.
The government called two rebuttal witnesses and we were done. Closing arguments tomorrow and then it's in the hands of the jury, Dzhokhar's life that is.
Thursday was a short day at the Tsarnaev trial last week as both sides met with the judge in chambers to discuss whether and to what extent Sister Helen Prejean will be allowed to testify. For much of the time nothing happened in the courtroom, though many tweets were read and sent. The previous day's witness was brought back to the stand to complete his testimony, but that's all.
I profited of the free time to ride a Hubway bike to the North End where I had an espresso and Italian ice and did the little sketch below.
There was a short delay this morning as the court set up a video conference call so that a Tsarnaev relative could testify from Kazakhstan. The government wanted the judge to tell the jury that the oath taken by the witness was meaningless since there would be no way to pursue perjury charges in Kazakhstan. Judge O'Toole declined for now.
Not a lot happening at the Boston Marathon bombing trial today. We heard from the roommate of Tamerlan's future wife, a couple of friends of Dzhokhar's, the owner of a Russian bookstore, a Russian psychiatrist who treated Tsarnaev's father, a wrestling coach and a Princeton professor who is an expert in all things Chechen.
Tsarnaev's relatives, who arrived from Russia nine days ago, finally took the witness stand today and the testimony was often tearful. Tsarnaev, who has betrayed not the slightest emotion or hint of remorse during the excruciating testimony of the bombing victims, dabbed his eyes with a tissue when his aged aunt Patimat sobbed so uncontrollably she was unable to testify.
I pity his family, but I'm not sure I have any pity for Dzhokhar.
Last Thursday, after lawyers in the Boston Marathon bombing trail spent over an hour meeting in chambers, Judge O'Toole announced that we had a sick juror and would recess till Monday.
I immediately made plans to secure a bicycle and take advantage of the opportunity to explore Boston, but it was not to be. I was called back to the courthouse for the arraignment of an ex-FBI charged with perjury in the Whitey Bulger trial.One consolation, a group of musicians started playing on the main floor of the courthouse. I did this sketch from above.
Finally done with the arraignment, I headed to the hotel anticipating a quiet evening, maybe dinner with a friend, before flying back to Baltimore the next morning. But no, instead I had to rush off to Newark for the guilty plea Friday morning of Gov. Christie ally – not Kirstie Alley – David Wildstein in the Bridgegate scandal.
If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. I really love this last minute stuff.
. . . two days ago, on Monday, but I was in DC for the same sex marriage arguments at the Supreme Court. I returned to the Boston courtroom today.
Until now the focus of the defense had been almost exclusively on Dzhokhar's older brother Tamerlane.Today we heard from a paramedic who worked on Tamerlan shortly before he died who testified the the older Tsarnaev was combative, even when mortally wounded. And then from a paramedic who treated Dzhokhar after he climbed out of the boat and surrendered. She said Dzhokhar put up no fight.After that it was a string of character witnesses – teachers and friends who knew a different Tsarnaev than the one sitting in the courtroom today. All of them were on the stand a very short time.
So it wasn't an uninteresting day, but nothing unexpected. I'll just post the rest of today's drawings and call it a day.

J. Mayweather Confident Caballero Plays With Garcia
By Chris Robinson
Word is that WBA featherweight champion Celestino Caballero will be back in Las Vegas sometime tomorrow to start gearing up for his next training camp. This will mark the sixth camp that the lanky Panamanian will be working with head trainer Jeff Mayweather, as 'Pelenchin' is coming off of a dominating twelve-round decision on December 31st in Satoshi Hosono's hometown of Kanagwa, Japan.
The latest buzz has Caballero linked to undefeated contender Mikey Garcia yet Mayweather admits nothing is finalized at this point.
"I'm not 100% sure but obviously, he has a fight set for June," Jeff stated at the Mayweather Boxing Club recently. "I don't know exactly who it's against. I'm assuming it's against Garcia, because that's who everybody's been talking about. But he said he was also called to fight the winner of Salido and Juanma. I don't know exactly which fight is going to take place, but it's set for June. More than likely it's Garcia."
Over the weekend I caught up with Garcia, who expressed respect for Caballero's experience on the championship-level yet was also sure to add that he feels he has enough to take his belt away from him.
Giving his take on a possible fight between his man and Garcia, Mayweather's view was obviously slighted in the opposition direction. And while he started off with some regard to Garcia, he doesn't see him as a threat to Caballero.
"Don't get me wrong, I think he's a very good fighter," Mayweather said of the 24-year old Garcia. "A little untested, he hasn't really fought anyone. He's very talented, but if Celestino boxes him, Celestino would have a feast with him. I don't think that the guy's that great. He's a good, young fighter that comes straight forward but he does nothing special at all. If Celestino fights like a tall guy, he'd pick him apart."
A fight with Salido seems to be out of the equation at least until later in the year but it's another fight that won't trouble Mayweather if it were to happen.
"Nope, because if Celestino boxes, Celestino will beat everyone at 126 pounds, easy," said Mayweather.
