Sacha Gervasi is no fool. He knew it was coming.
He is the director of Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren in the hugely awaited "Hitchcock," whose first wave of openings in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere was met with nothing if not rigorous scrutiny from film critics and historians. Skepticism, and worse, were commonplace.
"Hitchcock" (rated PG-13) opens in Buffalo on Friday. Gervasi had this to say in a telephone conversation conducted during a film junket in New York where press attitudes were lavishly evident, but before the national openings – and opening reviews.
"[Alfred] Hitchcock, in a certain sense, is a sacred cow," Gervasi said. "We knew that was going to happen. We're not a documentary. We're a movie. We're offering a very subjective interpretation of what might have been in his mind and in his wife's mind. … We can't possibly say we have a definitive understanding. It's a movie. I'm a storyteller. Hitchcock was a storyteller. Hitchcock made movies for an audience. That was the spirit we tried to embrace."
He added, "In terms of film critics and historians being forensic about it … I hope they understand that the spirit of mischief about Hitchcock is the spirit we've tried to embrace here."
What Gervasi was after in his film, then, was the spirit of Hitchcock's droll introductions to the mini-dramas on his TV series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," which remain a regular TV staple thanks to cable and satellite TV more than a half century after they first appeared.
Whether that sacred cow has been presented as a stale, franchise burger kept warm under a heat lamp or a succulent rib eye steak is for individual viewers to decide. What's undeniable is the wallop of his cast, all of whom are first rate – Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock, Dame Helen Mirren as his wife and partner (in almost every way) former film editor Alma Reville, Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh and Jessica Biel as Vera Miles.
The film was based on critic Stephen Rebello's book about a very specific endeavor in Hitchcock's long creative life – the making of "Psycho," an epochal event in the movie history that changed forever the commercial landscape of an art form.
And, said Gervasi (who is, among other things, an ex-rock drummer for Bush), "Hitchcock" might never have come about with him directing it had it not been for his documentary "Anvil: The Story of Anvil," a cult favorite that is often called the real-life version of "Spinal Tap."
"I'm really proud of that movie," Gervasi said of "Anvil." "It changed my life, it changed the guys' lives who were depicted in the film … Whoever I wind up working with [there's talk of Hugh Jackman at the moment in his next film], it's all been because of 'Anvil.'… It's an intensely personal movie. I paid my own money [to get it made]. I took a huge risk. No one wanted to release it, so I released it myself. It had a crazy success – particularly with awards and the fans it garnered. With Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, the reason they allowed me to direct them is that they loved 'Anvil.' They felt I had such a strong storytelling sense that they were willing to trust me. I think that everything that is happening in my life now is the result of that film."
The rest of Gervasi film dossier isn't as distinguished. While he wrote the script for Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal" starring Tom Hanks, he also wrote the script for and produced "Henry's Crime," which brought Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga and James Caan to Buffalo, where parts of it were shot.
As producer of the film (Malcolm Venville directed), Gervasi said, "I came out there [Buffalo] to spend time researching it. So it was really great fun. I spent quite a bit of time there. I loved writing the film, setting it there, and it was a really good experience. I liked the final film … It's really the director's film rather than mine, but I really liked it."
Gervasi is, of course, well aware of HBO's recent film "The Girl," about Hitchcock's obsessive and sadistic mistreatment of Tippi Hedren during the making of "The Birds" and "Marnie." In it Toby Jones and Imelda Staunton starred as Hitch and Alma; Sienna Miller played Hedren.
"It's quite a different film from our film. What I will say is that the experience it describes is obviously its own thing. … Let's assume that it's true. What's also true is that his relationships with his leading ladies were not typically like that. Many of them felt tremendous affection for Hitchcock. He was difficult, he was complicated, he was intellectual, he was tough, but he had tremendous respect for them all … Kim Novak said, 'It's so unfortunate that Mr. Hitchcock is not around to defend himself.' "
In Gervasi's view, "What's been missing a lot from the way he's been perceived is him as a tremendously warm man who occasionally – as much as he could be bitingly cold – could also be incredibly romantic. It's a combination of all those extreme things that don't seem to fit together that make him such a complex and interesting character."
As for "Hitchcock's" notable glamorization of the director's wife, Alma, it was unavoidable with the casting of Helen Mirren. "We were trying to be true to her spirit, but we're also making a movie. Which means when you have a movie star, it's clearly going to be star representation. Had we had someone who looks exactly like Alma, the film would never have been made. In a film we're trying to channel the essence of the character and the person. You also want the actors to add their own spin, their own personal stuff into it. With Alma, when Helen gives that incredible speech in the bedroom [reminding her husband of her lifelong conjugal loyalty no matter what], as much as that's Alma Reville, that's also Helen Mirren, her story of when she came to the States in the '90s and she was nearly unknown and Taylor Hackford, her husband, was running a mini-studio. She had the experience of being at Hollywood parties and people would literally push past her to get to her husband. In that scene, that's as much Helen Mirren speaking as Alma Reville."
Gervasi's "Hitchcock," then, is full of a lot of different stories from a lot of different sources.
For audiences, the question is, how much should it matter in such a well-acted film if the story, so freely adapted, is about, rather than by, a person acknowledged to be a film genius.

Milk Protein Concentrate
Milk Protein Smooth is a milk protein concentrate derived from ultra-filtered skimmed milk. This milk protein is a source of native casein and whey proteins in the same ratio as found naturally in milk (casein 80% and whey 20%). Milk Protein Smooth provides an extremely smooth consistency with an extremely clean and neutral taste.
Due to the production process, no instantising agents are required to provide the excellent mixing and consistency of Milk Protein Smooth. Milk Protein Smooth is extremely versatile; it can be consumed in various forms including; protein shakes, smoothies and yoghurts. Milk Protein Smooth is absorbed slowly by the stomach allowing a tapered supply of amino acids to the muscle over a prolonged period of time. This makes Milk Protein Smooth the ideal protein supplement for between meals and before bed. During sleep, the body is normally starved of nutrients as it is impractical to consume food. Milk Protein Smooth is 78% Micellar Casein, the rest is made up from whey protein and bioactive proteins.
For anyone engaged in a long term physical training plan, getting the right dietary balance is absolutely essential. The body requires the right kind of nutrients in order to perform and develop correctly, and whether these come from food or from supplements, they are needed for many purposes. As a dietary supplement we recommend consuming before bed or between meals 2-3 times per day.
Please note that the labelling on this product is provided in English as a minimum. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Swedish and Finnish may also be present on a product by product basis.
Protein contributes to the growth & maintenance of muscle mass, so to reap the benefits of this product we recommend adding 1 ¹/³ large scoop (30g) to 150-250ml of water or milk in a Myprotein shaker 30 minutes before and/or after your workout. Alternatively consume any time of day to increase your daily protein intake.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This product is intended to be used alongside an active lifestyle and a balanced diet. Not suitable for vegetarians.

Very hard to get to mix by just shaking mixture with either milk or water, plus i got the unflavoured pack and it was just awful, personally, their would be more cons than pros than having to suffer drinking this stuff most nights before bed. Goes Well With:Unflavoured goes well with nothing
Arrived swiftly and properly prepared. The bag can still be sealed when not in use. The protein, once mixed in with milk, is a delicious flavour that is certainly welcome after long work out. Considering the size of the bag and the amount stored inside, this product is a good value. Highly recommended to all.Goes Well With:Milk
Great protein. The all round tastes real nice with milk perfect for bedtime suppresses hunger for those dieting and of course prolonged protein throughout the night. Good stuff.Goes Well With:milk and water
Great product and a great taste. Good for morning and nights.Goes Well With:Almond milk
I've used this the past year with breakfast and before bed alongside other supplements and I feel this gives the edge as during the night you'll stop catabolismGoes Well With:Hurricane XS, alpha men, myamino complex, zma, HMB and taurine
Been trying the various different ranges of whey/milk protein sample sachets this week to get a feel for the varieties (milk, concentrate, isolate) of protein supplements and the way they can be absorbed. I elected to try this on workout days just before I go to bed to, of course, aid in the recovery of muscle overnight - as well as an isolate shake yanked down straight after the gym. I ordered this in vanilla flavour, tried it yesterday night, and while it was quite good (it was quite a good aid in actually getting to sleep, which as an insomniac is a very nice surprise), the taste is the only part that falters for me. The taste was barely there! It wasn't chalky as some reviews have mentioned, but the flavour was non-existant, and the flavour that was there reminded me more of marshmallow than of plain vanilla (I was expecting a flavour like ice cream). Aside from that though it's a great supplement, though I will definitely elect for a different flavour next time, and may grab the Micellar Casein instead of the Milk Protein Smooth proper.Goes Well With:Water, milk (or milk substitutes)
Don't be put off by the doesn't mix well reviews!! At first I thought the reviews saying it was 'chalky' when mixed where correct, and was a bit disappointed, although I found it 'chewy' rather than chalky! However, having left this standing for 10-15 mins after first shaking it mixes completely, and produces a great tasting, smooth and creamy drink. I now mix this before a workout rather than after and it's great. I was looking for something that would slow release protein as well as give me a hit when needed, but so many of the complex powders are full of sweetners, which I hate the taste of. This is the best tasting unflavoured product I've come across, and I find it far easier to digest than whey powder on its own, which often leaves me feeling sickly. Bonus is it also keeps me full for much longer than just whey! Goes Well With:Milk, coconut milk, almond milk, water
Really Disappointing. I usually use whey but was tempted by this being on offer. Really chalky when mixed with milk. Almost Undrinkable when using 2 or more scoops. Leaves a chalky coating in your throat. Anything but smooth ! Wish I'd stuck with whey impact.
The best source of protein I have tried (from whey to pure casein to vegan to beef). So here is how I make perfect chocolate mousse with Milk Protein Smooth. Unflavored Protein Smooth (1 scoop) 2-3 teaspoons of dark cocoa powder 1-2 micro scoops sucralose 100-150 ml semi skimmed milk (1.5% fat) 100 -150 ml water mix with a spoon well until it is a thick substance with no lumps on it (you have to find the right amount of liquids so it s not too watery or too thick). place it in a bowl on your fridge. after 15 minutes it is ready. and tell me how perfect this mousse is. Best part: max 150-200kcal 80% of the calories are protein (25-30 grams) tons of antioxidants from cocoa. only 7 grams of carbs and sugars (from the milk) and 2 grams of fat Seriously could eat this stuff the whole day, every day.
Probably the worse protein I have ever tasted. I should have realised from the fact the item was on sale for 40% off. Had to throw it away Goes Well With:Nothing.... terrible with milk and even worse with water
Strawberry cream tastes pretty good, I use a 60/40 milk to water mix, then chuck in a few ice cubes (Nobody likes tepid milk, no matter the flavour), it blends quite well, but then, once all the lumps are gone, you're left with a coarse gritty texture, like somebody put a spoonful of sand in there. Not so nice, but bearable. Providing it fulfils your needs in a similar fashion, I'd got for the impact whey instead, it's a much smoother texture and blends just as easily.
This is probably the worse protein I have ever used. I brought Milk Protein Smooth - Strawberry Cream and the taste is extremely bland and disappointing - there is a slight hint of strawberry. Even worse is the mixing - when mixed with water or milk and then mixed by using a standard shaker it creates a ridiculous amount of foam - you probably lose a quarter of the protein to the foam - which if left settles down to liquid but this will take hours. Also the texture of the protein is lumpy and not pleasant. I would warn people off buying this.
'Milk Protein Smooth' (unflavoured, 4kg) is absolutely THE BEST weight training/bb food/milkshake available! Although, seemingly, not as good value as 'Impact Whey Protein' (and with a slightly lower protein content) the slower digestion of the (80%) casein means that your muscles are slowly fed a constant stream of protein, thus far less is excreted and wasted (when taken with semi-skimmed milk 3x2 scoups a day, or more). The milk-derived powder also means ALL your amino acid requirements are met. I live off this stuff and the soothing, clean digestion of the product makes me wonder why people with IBS aren't trying it. As for taste, it is the nicest too - (unflavoured is a must, or you're paying for sugar and additives) it makes semi-skimmed milk taste like cream and I always drink it straight down (300ml x3). Although it may not mix quite as well as 'IWP', as it froths slightly, a 700ml shaker easily solves that without a problem. No gimmicky additives, flavourings or sugar - Milk Protein Smooth is all you need, 10/10!Goes Well With:Semi-skimmed milk, 700ml mixer/shaker, Drinking chocolate/cocoa powder/Horlicks, Weight training, Exercise.
Have always bought whey isolate in the past and been very happy with it, but was tempted by the special offer price on milk protein, but wish I hadn't bothered. The powder does not mix at all well and has a really chalky taste/feeling in your mouth. Would not suggest buying this product to anyone. Goes Well With:Nothing that I could find, as could not even make it into protein bar without it tasting bad
Got Strawberry cream and tastes great. I has a bit of sand- powder consistency but it's not bothering at all. It's much more filling than whey and helps a lot with hungers during diet. Definitely recommended!Goes Well With:milk, yogurt
So I used all of what I bought and I can say that although it digests well and delivers a decent amount of protein per serving, the poor mixability is just too much of a downside for me to consider buying this again. In water it mixes ok, but the downside is it doesn't settle well on the stomach. In skimmed milk it digests well but doesn't mix well at all. There are far better proteins out there that are suitable for night time consumption.Goes Well With:Impact whey, skimmed milk. (kinda)
Taste and mixability of the product seem irrelevant, however but I must of course objectively evaluate the qualities of these properties as requested, despite fears that such evaluations would give negative impressions of the product. I'd like the product to be continued as long as possible, as I am a long-term user. The taste of the product is relatively neutral, there is nothing especially good or bad about it, which fits my purposes perfectly. It certainly won't overpower any flavoring that you might want to use along with it. Mixability is not the best. However, I would never recommend one to consume only milk protein in a shake, for instance, but to use some carbohydrate source along with it. Such mixture which will also provide excellent mixability, as the different ingredients collide in the shaker. This is a basic milk protein product. Milk protein has been shown in studies to produce more anabolic effects than whey protein. Thus, it is my base protein in my regime. It is a high-quality product, it gives me zero milk-related side effects, that I get from other milk products. 5 stars overall. Tip: Mix yourself the best mass gainer / in-between meal possible: a portion of milk protein, along with some oats. Can't get better than that. Gulp some good fats along, and you will be gtg.Goes Well With:Oats
recently just back into training and was suffering terrible DOMS bought this and recovery is now excellent and what I used to be like,,, does work well if you eat correct etc.. I only gave a 3 for flavour as I buy all my powder unflavoured I like to get every last drop without any fillers and il say it mixes well with water but tends to leave a lot of bubbles in your shaker when finished. BUT I just mixed it with milk tonight and it was excellent no frothy bubbles and tasted just like milk.. this stuff is good value for money and certainly better than cooking steak every night :)Goes Well With:milk
This is the first time I have tried a flavour as I usually add my own. I can easily say that I will be buying the Choc Mint from now on. I usually mix 30g with 30g Soy Protein Isolate, 5g Maca, 3g Whole Psyllium Husks and 500ml milk. It all mixes up quite easily and goes down a treat. Goes Well With:Soy Isolate, Maca, Whole Psyllium Husks
I have tried 2 Flavours, Vanilla and Strawberry Cream. I always have my shakes with water and the vanilla is very weak and has a pure chalky taste so its nothing special but the strawberry cream mixed with water has a more prominent taste and is quite enjoyable to enjoy before bed or as a snack to keep me full during the day. I wake up in the morning not feeling as hungry as i used to and feel more energetic as soon as i rise so it feels like its helping me.
Taste isn't that bad (had the natural version), kind of like milk surprisingly.. Mixes fine. Have it before bed and I don't wake up hungry so alls good.Goes Well With:Water
Love this, strawberry cream flavour tastes great, I take it with almond milk which it mixes well with. Will be buying again.Goes Well With:Almond milk
Am not big on shakes but with my goals and body shape unfortunately they are a necessity. I chose strawberry flavour as I'd had milkshakes before and they were ok. The taste is ok, but sweet if mixed with milk though. The texture is thick and chalky. I've even tried mixing it in a blender for a good 5 minutes and it still comes out chalky and thick. Difficult to drink due to the texture. Not sure about other flavours. Goes Well With:Water and milk with amino acids mixed in.
Always have a shake before I go to bed, and this one works perfectly. Chocolate tastes good and mixes well. I have had good results from these shakes. Best before bed supplement i've purchased, goes really well with oats and milk. Would recommend to anyone.Goes Well With:Oats. Milk.
Ive been buying MP True Whey for a few years now and its a great product, however, lately i've been wanting something for overnight when i'm asleep and the body wants feeding. I purchased a pouch of this in banoffee flavour and started to use it. The first couple of nights after a session it was really noticable how much better i felt, i usually mix a scoop and a half of this with a scoop and a half of the True Whey protein powder and i'm good for the night. Now whenever i wake up in the night i dont get that grumbly belly feeling anymore, i'm ok until breakfast. So far ive only tried the banoffee flavour, i was hoping it would be abit more 'offee' than 'ban' because i mix it with caramel flavour whey but its certainly not horrible and once you get used to the taste its really not bad at all. My only complaint (and its not really a complaint as such) would be that it doesnt mix aswell as the true whey powder, its very much more powdery than true whey but when mixed with milk or water its very much more runny than just whey. when mixed in with my whey you can tell the slightly different texture but its not horrible, just different. If you're looking for something to feed your body with protein through the night then this is just what you're looking for in my opinion, you could mix it with other protein powders or even some porridge before bed and you'll very ready to go again in the morning.Goes Well With:True Whey, porridge, milk
Tried banana, vanilla and strawberry smooth - they taste like nesquick! I don't drink them usually, but instead add them to soft cheese (quark) or Greek yoghurt for a low-calorie protelicious (delicious and protein-rich) snack. Can also add to uncooked oats and mix with water/milk to make tasty cold porridge. The key here is the soy lecithin - it thickens up the mixtures, giving them more bulk and therefore making them more filling - perfect for cutting! Goes Well With:Yoghurt, Quark, Oats, Milk, Water
I use this in the morning, and sometimes midday when I am on the road. I normaly go for the unflavoured, and It suits me well. Just be aware that the shaker needs an extra workout! I also find it a bit more filling than normal whey.
Far and away the best thing I've discovered this year. Decided to give it a whirl when there was a flash discount on, and it's safe to say this will be a staple in my orders from here on in. Bought the vanilla, since I usually get the Vanilla Impact Whey and I knew I'd like it. Mixing required more effort but that's because it increases in volume!! It's thick while still being light, chucked in some psyllium husk and oats and it held me over for hours. Slept better when having it before bed since I didn't wake up starving in the middle of the night. Reckon it's gonna make some awesome fluff! Lifesaver on a cut, get this to stop you wanting to chew off your own leg.Goes Well With:Psyllium husk, oats, flavdrops
Was a bit worried how it would mix due to casein content but goes perfectly if enough liquid is used! Definitely buy this over the calcium caseinate - this isnt chalky or gritty at all. Havent woken up hungry yet, take just before bed and enioy!Goes Well With:Semi-skimmed milk
Bought this to try as a cheaper alternative to casein as I can't stand the taste of whey, it's described as 80% casein 20% whey, from the taste it feels the opposite to me. It needs a lot of liquid to mix well too. One thing I am finding with my protein products is the lack of (nutritional information to each product) on the site. Which is a big shop somewhere else to me as it is important to know what you're buying
Fine milk protein, very good before going to sleep.One minus its doesnt mixes very well.Ive got unflavored version, however its tastes actually good like ice cream!Goes Well With:Ultra colostrum, BCAA
Mixability - Doesn't really mix well with water and leaves an awful amount of froth at the top, and when you drink it, you can feel the grittiness of the shake going down your throat which I find it very hard to drink. Taste- I ordered the chocolate flavour and its just simply awful. Very sweet but doesn't taste anything like chocolate. The flavour along with the grittiness makes it hard to drink imo. Effectiveness - Undeniably effective especially when taken before bed. I feel that when I wake up the next morning, I have less muscle aches and pains. Overall - Highly effective but I cant see myself buying this again.
great find,had been using whey protein as a top-up before bed but this seems a lot better.Nice and easy to mix and great taste ( vanilla ), only used it a few times so far so can't comment on effectiveness yet,but certainly will keep using at the moment.Goes Well With:semi-skimmed milk
I ordered Vanilla Flavor one. It rather tastes like milk than vanilla. It is far away from the ELLE TRUE DIET vanilla flavor. That one is just excellent! Milk Protein Smooth is not sweet at all! So whoever doesn't like sweet stuff, I can recommend this! However if you like the sweet tastes do not buy this as you won't like it. I am not sure I will buy again, because it is not comparable with ELLE TRUE DIET. I love that and I was disappointed in this vanilla flavor. Very very Different (Maybe I've got unflavored one? :) this is why I don't feel the vanilla?) Suggestion to the maker of this product: Be a little bit sweeter, just a little bit and add more vanilla flavor for it. And if will be perfect. Goes Well With:I love milk, but I cannot drink as much as I can or I want. So most of the time I drink it with Coco milk. Better with normal milk.
Once mixed it has to be drank within a few seconds, otherwise it turns into a thick gloopy froth. Once its down it does what its supposed to. I find mixing it with half a scoop of whey makes the consistency much more manageable.Goes Well With:Whey protein
Good quality protein with no chunks and mixes easy!i feel less hungry upon awakening when I take it at night time!a feeling of my body being fed all night
value of the product for me is justified. I am very pleased
I use this in conjunction with hard gainer extreme (post workout), oats and whey bar (in my lunch day after a workout) and instant oats. I add 2-3 scoops of oats with a scoop of this before I go to bed and the following morning after a workout and it yields great results! Gone through 2 kilos of this and onto my second bag of oats, match made in heaven! Mixes really well and chocolate mint tastes amazing! Definitely worth the money
I bought this product as part of the "bulk up bundle" and I have found that along with the other supplements included it has proved to be really effective. The flavour was good and it also mixed well in the shaker.
Milk Protein is a more recent addition to my supplement stack and I don't know how I managed without it. It provides a slow release of protein hours after drinking, perfect for pre-bed consumption. The powder tastes fantastic (banana) and goes well with other flavours; I mix my Banana Milk Protein with Natural Chocolate Whey and it tastes amazing! The mixability is not great as it seems to remain powdery no matter how long and hard I shake it, there are no lumps, just a slightly grainy 'dry' texture.
I love this stuff! It tastes great and mixes into a smooth (and only slightly powdery) shake, easy to drink. I am on a ketonic diet and this product is ideal.
This is a great product that mixes well and the chololate one actually tastes like chocolate unlike other brands I have tried. Well recommended.
This is a great product that mixes well and the chololate one actually tastes like chocolate unlike other brands I have tried. I'm only at the start of week two on this but so far so good
stay away from banoffe its vile, to be fair most the flavours are but i love raspberry so sample the flavours first. when i first used this it was a pinch and guzzle but when you get used to the chalky casine in it your fine. definatly see results from this especially the morning after a hard workout.it looks expensive but 2.5kg lasts you about 2-3 months.
Noticed a difference in weeks definitely recommend it
this mixes well a tastes great with milk would buy again
Yes it has a slightly (emphasis on slightly) chalky consistency but that's the nature of casein based products. But it mixes far better than ON or reflex or any of the industry majors' products and tastes better too. The macro breakdown is perfect and last but not least it's far better value than the major brands. Goes well with xantham gum.
Use Vanilla flavour mixed with mix of water and semi skimmed milk before bed and gain the beefits while sleeping. what more can I say, Tastes great and is very effective
I take 2 scoops of unflavoured with around 200ml semi skim milk, ice, toffee MP flavor drops n xanthan gum. My end result is an amazingly thick almost vanilla icecream bedtime shake. Definitely am not hungry until morning or even until the afternoon. It is extremely powdery which makes it messy. Without the flavor drops it just tastes like milk so not bad. I just mixed a scoop into my tub of greek yoghurt and its blended extremely well! Im already a big fan!Goes Well With:milk, flavor drops, greek yoghurt and bedtime
Great value, does what it's supposed to do, recommend the blend for slow release, delivery within few days, been using for years now Goes Well With:Milk, almond milk + cocoa powder for extra choc taste

Mass Exoneration Data and the Causes of Wrongful Convictions
Russell D. Covey
Georgia State University College of Law
What we currently know about the persons who have been wrongfully convicted is based largely on exonerations resulting from post-conviction testing of DNA. Study of those cases has produced a dataset of information about the factors that contribute to wrongful convictions and the procedures relied upon both to convict and then, later, to exonerate, those defendants. While critically important, this dataset has important limitations, chief among them is that it is largely limited to the kinds of cases in which DNA evidence is available for post-conviction testing.
Drawing on fresh empirical data, my paper attempts to improve the dataset on the wrongfully convicted by assessing another group of exonerees, those exonerated in two major scandals, the Rampart scandal in Los Angeles, and the Tulia scandal in Texas. In both of these cases, large numbers of persons were wrongfully convicted and later formally exonerated. The profile of these defendants varies dramatically from that of the typical DNA exoneree. Broadening the data set to include these exonerees should cause us to rethink the major causes of wrongful convictions and the most pressing remedial solutions to the problem.

Kid Style
"I brought these for my nephew he wears a 6.5 so i figure a 7 would fit. Wrong! they were way too big they were just a flapping off his feet. nonetheless, we kept them because eventually he will be able to fit them. So i am buying another pair in a size 6 hoping they will fit just right."

Love, Love, Love!
"I ordered these for my 2 year old son. I used their printable kid's size chart to get the right size for him, and they fit perfectly! He loves wearing them, and they seem to be super comfortable and don't bother his feet at all. The ONLY bad thing is that they are obviously laces, so they are a little hard to get on his feet at first, then you have to tie them every time, rather than having a kids shoe with velcro or something, and I always have to double knot them or else they come untied. But other than that, the PERFECT most classic kids shoes ever. Oh how cute they look on him too! :)"

Ryan Lochte Injured by Excited Fan
The 29-year-old was in Florida on Sunday when a teenage girl saw and ran at the 6'2" athlete, USA Today reports.
Lochte – who starred in his own reality show, What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, earlier this year – caught the girl but they toppled over. While the teen was unharmed, he hit the curb, blowing out his left knee.
"As a result of a freak injury caused by an unexpected fan encounter, Ryan has suffered a torn MCL and an ACL sprain and will be taking a break from training and competition," his publicist said in a statement.
"His medical team expects him to make a full and speedy recovery and Ryan thanks everyone for their well wishes."

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
It�s as simple a football idiom as any � whoever wins the turnover battle wins the football game.
Advantage, Durango.
Durango High School recovered six Farmington fumbles, the last of which led to Tyler Worley�s game-winning 8-yard touchdown run in the Demons� rollercoaster 35-28 victory over the Scorpions on Friday at DHS Stadium.
Turnovers were the story of the evening. Farmington (2-2) coughed it up six times, while Durango had three lost fumbles and an interception. Difference was that after two of its turnovers, DHS (2-2) responded on the very next play by taking the ball right back, allowing no points.
�It�s fun to coach a game like that, but yeah, it�s a little nerve-wracking,� DHS head coach Greg Wyatt said, laughing.
Worley was the alpha and omega of the Durango offense Friday. He ran for 208 yards on 29 carries and four touchdowns, and he caught a pass for a game-tying two-point conversion in the third quarter. His success came from a combination of solid offensive line play and his ability to read blocks and find holes, even if they weren�t exactly where they were drawn up.
�I mean our line did a really great job. Game plan was just to run it up and down on them, and we definitely did a great job doing that,� said Worley, son of Crystal Coffey and Noah Worley.
The Durango defense rebounded nicely after a rough outing against Piedra Vista, forcing five of the six fumbles and allowing just 253 total yards, 83 of which came on one play.
�Of their six, I think ... five of them were forced. ... That�s just good team defense when you can stand the guy up, strip the ball and have guys around it to recover,� Wyatt said.
With the game tied at 28 and 4:15 left to play, Farmington running back Essiel Carrasco fumbled for the second consecutive possession, and this time, DHS made the Scorpions pay. Worley carried on four of the six plays on a six-play, 37-yard drive, capped by his 8-yard scamper to paydirt with 2:54 to go.
�Felt great. Felt awesome,� Worley said of the winning score. �Got to make a play at that moment.�
Still, Farmington got the ball back with 2:47 to go and two timeouts, but another one of Friday�s bugaboos reared its ugly head again at the wrong time. On first down from the Farmington 45, Scorpions quarterback Jacob Lucas watched the ball sail over his head on the snap for a 24-yard loss.
DHS held on the next three downs before taking a knee to wrap the win.
Durango seemingly had the momentum going into halftime, but an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown by Farmington�s Kyle Reynolds with 37 seconds to go in the second quarter put Farmington up 14-13.
DHS then drove to the Farmington 19 before Jeremy Szura threw an interception to Bobby Shuttleworth.
Durango got new life when Lucas fumbled on the next play, which Worley recovered, but DHS couldn�t put points on the board before half.
Lucas started the second half by finding Reynolds for a 32-yard touchdown pass to push the lead to 21-13. But a bad snap would be Farmington�s undoing on the first series of the fourth quarter, as Lucas couldn�t corral the loose ball in his own end zone, and Gabe Gilleland fell on it for the touchdown. Szura�s pass to Worley for two points evened things at 21.
Worley gave a bit back to Farmington with 8:06 to go, when Carrasco scooped up his fumble and rumbled 28 yards for a touchdown and a 28-21 lead. DHS responded with a 19-yard touchdown run by � who else? � Worley after a long kickoff return by Jalon Malone set Durango up at the Farmington 34.
Worley had touchdown runs of 2 and 6 yards in the first half, and Szura completed 8 of 15 passes for 116 yards, 50 of them to tight end Lane Joseph.
Farmington got a 7-yard scoring run from Austin Foutz and the Reynolds punt return in the first half, but the Scorpions also turned the ball over on a play that began on the Durango 2, costing them a potentially critical score.
Shuttleworth led Farmington with 116 yards rushing, while Carrasco had 62 on the ground.
For Durango, with state-ranked Palisade up next, Friday�s victory was a much-needed shot in the arm.
�I think it gave us a lot of momentum going in,� Worley said. �Palisade�s going to be a tough opponent, but homecoming weekend, we usually play good, and we�ve got a lot of tradition going on.�

Charlie Cutler is a perfect teammate for the minor leagues, a player who has the right attitude about his role and who understands better than most how valuable it is to still get paid to play a game.
"It's a joy to come to the ballpark," Cutler said. "I'm grateful to be on this team, I'm grateful for every opportunity I get. It's what I love to do."
Cutler could be bitter. He's probably as good of a pure hitter as there is on the team he has a .305 career average but he's basically been a career backup. Even on a Curve club that has struggled mightily scoring runs this week, Cutler has had a tough time getting at-bats.
He got one at-bat Tuesday night against Richmond, and he made the most of it.
Cutler didn't snap the Curve's four-game losing streak, but he prevented it from reaching five temporarily, at least. His two-out RBI double in the bottom of the ninth tied the game at 1-1, and play was suspended because of rain before the start of the 10th inning at Peoples Natural Gas Field.
The two teams will resume the game today at 10:30 a.m., then play their regularly scheduled nine-inning contest.
Fact Box
Next stop
Today: Richmond at Altoona, completion of suspended game at 10:30 a.m., followed by nine-inning game
Pitchers: Curve RHP Jameson Taillon (1-1, 1.64) vs. Flying Squirrels RHP Justin Fitzgerald (0-0, 2.25)
Record: 4-7
The Curve had scored only three runs in their last 46 innings entering the ninth. Andy Vasquez singled with one out, and on a 2-2 pitch, Cutler roped a double to right that brought in the tying run.
"It boosted the team's confidence that we can be able to have somebody to drive in the run the way he did there," Curve manager Carlos Garcia said.
Cutler is the backup catcher to Carlos Paulino, a good young defensive player who is still learning how to be a consistent offensive threat. Paulino is hitting .161 this season and has a .249 career average.
There's no doubt Cutler can hit, but he's not the strongest defensive catcher, which has prevented him from becoming an everyday player in the minors.
Cutler came to the conclusion long ago that he's not going to worry about anything other than what he can control, and that allows him to maintain a positive attitude.
"I just know having a bad attitude, you're not going to do well," Cutler said. "Being bitter, you're not going to do well. And I want to enjoy my life, so that's really what it comes down to."
Cutler hit .296 last year for the Curve serving as a backup to Tony Sanchez and Ramon Cabrera. There are always priority players in the minor leagues, and this year Paulino is one, which means he has to be in the lineup most days.
Garcia said he will find ways to get Cutler at-bats as the season goes along, and that's easier to do against American League affiliates when the designated hitter is in play.
"Definitely I want to give him more opportunities to play," Garcia said, "but right now it's hard, especially when you only have two catchers. If he doesn't play another position, it's going to be difficult."
Cutler's hit saved the Curve on a night when they made two big mistakes on the basepaths. Those kind of mistakes are always glaring on a team that's struggling to score, and they were especially so in what had been a 1-0 game until the ninth.
Mel Rojas Jr. was picked off third in the first inning. Altoona had runners at the corners, and Richmond starter Taylor Rogers stepped off the mound quickly and caught Rojas by surprise with a quick throw.
In the seventh, Vasquez singled and took second on a sacrifice bunt by Gift Ngoepe. Vasquez then surprisingly tried to steal third and was thrown out.
Garcia said he wants his young players to be aggressive but also noted he told Vasquez that wasn't a good spot to run in because he's fast enough to score from second base on a single.
"This is the type of situation that they have to learn from," Garcia said. "Now you have a teaching point.
"Things happen to be a little difficult for young kids because the team is struggling to score runs, and they try to do more than what they're capable of doing in a lot of situations."
Garcia likes the energy his young players are showing, but there's no denying the mistakes have been piling up day after day in the early going.
"They will make mistakes," Garcia said. "I'm more concerned about the mental mistake than the physical, but I've just got to let them fail, and then we approach how to do things the right way."
The offense struggled again Tuesday, but the Curve pitching turned in another superb performance. Starter Casey Sadler allowed one run on five hits in seven innings, then Jason Townsend pitched two scoreless innings of relief to keep it 1-0.
"This staff is more aggressive than a lot of staffs that I've been a part of," Sadler said. "We're not afraid to give contact up, we have total faith in our defense. Honestly, we pitch to give our team a chance to win believing in ourselves and then just going out and having fun, pitching, letting guys get themselves out and not try to do too much."

These paints are reactive while wet, meaning you can mist them, let them run together, blot them, etc. and can be changed until they dry. You can start with one layer of paint, let it dry, then add more paint to overlap some areas for a more interesting look.

MARTINSBURG - A Hedgesville man accused of using his grandmother's stolen debit card to make fraudulent transactions was arraigned Tuesday on six counts of credit card fraud and six counts of identity theft.
Zachari Brian Huff, 20, of Locust Grove Road, was later released on $12,000 bail.
According to court records, on Monday, Cpl. B.W. Bean with the West Virginia State Police met with the victim at her bank and learned that six fraudulent transactions had been made with her debit card.
She told police she believed her grandson, Huff, stole her card and gained her PIN. Bean was then able to obtain video footage from a Sheetz store showing Huff making two of the fraudulent transactions.
Bean interviewed Huff Tuesday and the man confessed to using the debit card all six times without the victim's permission.
Man pleads guilty to firearms charge
MARTINSBURG - A Romney man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Martinsburg's U.S. District Court to a federal firearms charge.
Ryan Lambert Barnes, 31, pleaded guilty to knowingly transferring a short-barreled shotgun Aug. 30, 2011, in Hampshire County. Barnes knowingly transferred a Relevation shotgun with no serial number to a confidential informant for $100.
Conversations during the transaction revealed that Barnes knew the shotgun was too short and not registered.
Barnes, who is free on bond pending sentencing, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul T. Camilletti and was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Hampshire County Sheriff's Department.

Jeffrey Snover - More talking about Monad

Oops, something didn't work.
What a fascinating discussion. I personally have been following Monad from the very beginning and have found it to be quite an awsome technology. The only thing I would have to ask is "when will I get IntelliSense on the command line?" I have been so spoiled using IntelliSense and some other utilities like VisualAssist when programming that I just feel empty when I am without tools like that.
staceyw wrote:"Hmm...the video is upside down and all green when it streams at 111kbps."
Dude, I get that all the time. About 50%. Was starting to think I was the only one.
I'm was surprised to hear that Monad has generated so much interest, yet at the same time the attention is so germane. As far as I know the semantics of the command line haven't changed much since Doug McIlroy came up with the pipe, yet I know of no gifted
programmer or admin who doesn't appreciate the command line. MSH is one of the most exciting technologies to emerge over the last year and it's one of only two Microsoft betas I've ever downloaded and used. I don't hear people ranting about it on too many
forums so I assume it's kind of a silent (serious) majority thing. I think it's going to be a wonderful surprise for so many IT pros out there.
Ace work Jeffery!
In this video, and one of his previous ones, Jeffery talks about economics, he also mentions Jim Hugunin's Iron Python project (the other beta I've downloaded and used). Now, Jim's work is open source, open source is a hot topic a lot of figures comment on, and open source has an interesting economic aspect that people debate (and companies like Apple and Google use to great commercial advantage). I'd love to hear Jeffrey's views on open source; I believe he'd have something interesting to say.
Go on Scoble, can you ask when you go back to do the team tour? Please?
Does everyone else love these interviews with people like Ward C. and Jeffery as much as I do? I love it when the interviewee is happy to go off on interesting tangents.
Balclutha wrote:Go on Scoble, can you ask when you go back to do the team tour? Please?
Scoble I agree this is one of the better videos because you feel the passion the developer has for his work. I didn't know what this C9 video was about really, and I had an hour to kill in between classes, you know what I enjoyed every minute of this video.
I didn't take advanced programming classes but i understood many of the concepts he was talking about and from what i understood he is trying to built a scripting engine that can interact not just with the data that a program outputs but with the actual objects and coms associated with it to make it a more powerful solution.
this guy was just relentless and kept an upbeat pace for the entire 53 minutes. i was shocked when the video was over and realized it was 53 minutes long. At the end you asked him to do a follow-up interview with him and the team showing off a few demos.
I understand, theoretically, how powerful this new shell is. But i need to see a demo of it to see exactly what it is capable of.
This video along with Amar Ghandi, the RSS Enthusiast, are thus far my favorite developer style interviews. Some vids it was obvious that they felt their job was just that, a chore to bring home some meat and cheese for their kids and wives. Other videos such as this one, you really get to see people passionate about their work. It is uplifting knowing that people enjoy what they do.
I keep on saying to myself, and everyone, I am not looking to vista as revolutionary, but merely as a stepping stone to the OS that is to follow. That one, whatever code name (black comb i think) will be when we start seeing the nice, matured, things.
efortier wrote:One thing that I find surprising is that the issue of security has never been raised yet.
However what left me shocked with this video is how much weight did Snover loose
I should do some workout myself I think...
Its amazing what a couple hundred hours in the gym will do for you.
Here is a pointer to the Marc van Orsouw's (aka /\/\o\/\/ ) blog. He is the guy I mentioned in the Video. He is doing some very noteworthy stuff with Monad.
Naikrovek wrote:" (and companies like Apple and Google use to great commercial advantage). "
Is Apple's OS open source? How about Google?
Why do you ask when you already know the answer? Oh yeah, to be condescending, that's why.
I believe he was saying that Apple's OS is built on an open source OS (with a proprietary kernel), and that Google is using tens of thousands of Linux machines without a single penny paid to any vendor thanks to open source.
Sounds like commercial advantage to me.
Exactly! Achieving leverage through components (as discussed in the video) gives one kind of advantage. Reusing software written by others is another. For example, Apple builds on CUPS and Samba, and benefits from improvements made by those who might never own an Apple machine, let alone work for Apple. Some might argue that the balance of power in the software industry is such that this kind of re-use is the only realistic way a company could build a desktop OS that's competitive with Windows – that's an interesting form of economic advantage.
Besides, I think now days most people think of an OS as more than a kernel and APIs, and the fact is OS X would be a non-starter without the ton of open source stuff that Apple includes (Samba, CUPS, gcc, Ruby, Python, Emacs, bash, and the GNU text tools are the ones I use often – and of course there are loads I'll never know about).
What I think is interesting is that Microsoft could use a similar trick one day, if it so desired.
As an aside, I'd love to see every Windows machine ship with IronPython one day (a fantastic open source project at Microsoft) and I think there should be a Scoble interview with Jim (you can watch a talk on IronPython from the LL4 workshop held at MIT at http://ll4.csail.mit.edu/).
Afternoon All,
Just spending a Sunday morning catching up with a few things and Monad caught my eye. I've been aware of it for a while but didn't realise the Beta2 was available........
Anyway is now Sunday afternoon and I've read the starter guide and got it happily runnning on a SP2 VM. Very nice fellas, very nice indeed. Being an Exchange geek I am interested as to what you will be doing with it (you mentioned they were first customer in video).
Just a couple of questions though - when do you expect to ship the final release? Don't get me wrong I'm not looking for a specific day - or even a month
I'd happilly settle for a 'before 2006' or a 'before Vista ships' or even a 'after Vista ships'.
|"We'll ship in 2006. I'd put my money on "before Vista" but much of that will be determined by the overhead of the process to get out the door."
Just curious. Will there be some kind of LINQ syntax in msh or is that v2?
I know I'm a little bit late to this party, but Jeffrey Snover is my new hero!
Awesome work.

Cher battling infection in Europe
Pop icon Cher is stuck battling a virus in Europe after her doctor insisted she was too sick to fly home. The Believe hitmaker, who has been on the road promoting her latest album Closer to the Truth, is unable to get back to the U.S. after being laid low with a bad infection.
The 67-year-old singer has taken to her Twitter.com page to update fans on her condition, writing, "Still SO! SICK !! Throats (sic) on (fire), cough, fever, think I have gone through 2 tall trees of tissues."
Cher adds, "Hate being sick. Last time (was) Christmas day, 3 yrs (years) ago. This one really sucks, there's not a part of me that doesn't hurt. Had 2 (to) start antibiotics… My dr (doctor) won't let me go home now, but says soon. Love & trust her. I have Virus & Bacterial infection… Throat hurts, fever. OUCH."

Nearly 450 exhibitors, including some from California, to be present
By Walt Frank

Mirror file photos by J.D. Cavrich

Ken Boozel of Martinsburg checks out different types of potatoes.
ROCK SPRINGS - Attendees at Penn State Ag Progress Days this month will find a record number of exhibitors.
Nearly 450 commercial and noncommercial exhibitors from California to Canada are expected to attend the event Aug. 14-16 at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, said Bob Oberheim, Ag Progress Days manager.
"It brings the buyer and seller together in one location for three days," Oberheim said. "Customers can compare all sizes and models of operating equipment. It's a tremendous time and cost saver. Companies interact with customers, and customers meet suppliers."
The exhibitors can reap the benefits of participating several months after the show.
"In February someone may call them and say they saw their products at the Ag Progress Days. The exhibitors don't just judge their results on the three days here; they judge their results six to nine months later," Oberheim said.
Between 42,000 and 45,000 people are expected to attend the event sponsored by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences and view the many exhibits.
"We stay true to agriculture exhibits. We don't have the carnival type of exhibits here. You won't see things like pink cowboy hats for sale,"Oberheim said.
The purpose of Ag Progress Days is two-fold. Oberheim said the College of Agricultural Sciences showcases the research and cutting-edge technology that has been developed each year, while commercial industries showcase their equipment and services.
Gary Long, Blair County Farm Bureau president, said he plans to attend Ag Progress Days.
"Most all of the local farmers try to get to it, but there are more and more city people starting to go to it as well. It is the largest ag equipment show in the Northeast. People come from all over the United States to go to the show," Long said.
Long said Ag Progress Days offers almost anything imaginable in agriculture.
"There is equipment. It is a learning facility. All of the new technology is there. All of the new seed varieties, new breeds of beef cattle. Penn State also has cooking demonstrations. There is a wide variety of things - even things for the home gardener to look at, too," Long said.
"Anything in the ag industry, from planting the seeds to preparing your plate for dinner is there, and if you have a question with anything dealing with agriculture there is someone there who can answer your question," he added.
The Pennsylvania Farm Bureau has planned numerous activities, including fun and learning opportunities for young visitors, along with information on a variety of agricultural issues.
"Ag Progress Days offers an excellent opportunity for farmers to learn more about new advances in agriculture and technology, obtain updated information on key issues impacting Pennsylvania farmers and agriculture-related businesses and reconnect with other farmers and friends from across the state," said President Carl T. Shaffer in a statement.
Field demonstrations are an important component of the event.
New field demonstrations this year will feature "show-and-tell" events for new tractors, planters and drills. These events will allow companies to promote and talk about their equipment.
"The field demonstrations are a cornerstone of the show. We rotate something different each year into the show but we maintain the hay mowing, baling and handling demonstration," Oberheim said. "We do bring in something new each year to keep it interesting."
Ag Progress Days also include activities and attractions such as food demonstrations, horse exhibitions and clinics, wildlife displays and children's activities.
