The Death Penalty: Debating the Moral, Legal, and Political Issues (Paperback)
Special Order
This collection of authoritative essays by noted professionals in law, psychology, civil rights, and journalism addresses vitally important questions at the center of the debate over capital punishment in thoughtful yet compelling ways.
The heart of the book consists of edited excerpts from two recent, controversial decisions by the United States Supreme Court. In both cases, the Eighth Amendment plays a decisive role. In the first case, "Baez" v. "Rees," the Court affirms a lower court decision that the method of capital punishment used in most states--lethal injection--does not violate the Eighth Amendment. In the second case, "Kennedy" v. "Louisiana," the ruling majority concludes that a death sentence for the crime of raping a child, even when that rape is violent, constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, so long as the child does not die. The contributors also consider the effect of modern DNA evidence on invoking the death penalty, especially since this new technology has led to the exoneration of several death-row inmates and consequently has raised doubts about the ability of the legal system to protect innocent defendants.
This compelling and insightful volume concludes with an examination of the evidence for racial bias implicit in the disproportionate number of black prisoners sentenced to death.

I have 3 kids (girls) from a previous marriage , ages 9, 12,
Resolved Question:
I have 3 kids (girls) from a previous marriage , ages 9, 12, & 18. I have remarried and have a stepson who is also 9 yrs. old.The kids have really done a great job of helping each other blend our new family, I was surprised to be honest , that the 4 kids were so understanding of each other. Not that we haven't had our problems , we have indeed. We have always worked it out by talking as a family and making adjustments that were good for any or all involved .It has been 3 yrs now and the only real problems have always come from people outside saying I give my kids too many rights. They say my kids should learn to do and feel what adults tell them to do or feel.
The issue at hand now, I've been called a bad parent (to put it nicely)
My youngest daughter who is 9 and my stepson who is also 9 have come to act like the typical siblings , they play together ,fight with each other, go to the same school, both in 4th grade but 2 different class rooms. They always seem to be together most of the time, and really don't fuss & fight as much as I did with my brothers growing up.I feel truly Blessed that they do so well .Considering my daughter had to give up her place as baby of the family and the stepson give up his place as the only child , to share the place they are in. My daughter only sees her Dad on the way to and from church on Sunday mornings and for a while on Wednesday night church.She was in a small class of only 3 kids and her step mom was the teacher.This to my daughter was still time with her Dad that she craves so much.Somehow the step mom and her 2 yr old son(my child's 1/2 brother)were still a part of Daddy time even when Dad was not there.I understand. She and my other 2 daughters see very little of Dad. Anyway, the X-husband and his wife asked if my stepson could come along to church with my daughter.Without thinking I said if he wanted to go it was fine with me.He went a couple of times and my daughter told him she would rather he not go anymore.So I saw the boys feelings were hurt and asked my daughter what was up.She explained to me that her step brother likes to make a big deal of things and even make up stories to get attention and this few minutes a week was her time to have Dad and step mom 's attention,and she wanted it to be her and Daddy's time .I sat them down and explained to the boy why she was upset and he said he understood and was no longer hurt, then they went off to play.We decided the boy would not go with them anymore,but we would find a church he could go to, to enjoy Sunday school.
Then step mom calls me to tell me I was totally wrong in letting my daughter get away with being so selfish and I let my kids make choices that only adults should be making.She says if she is not picking up both kids ,then she will not take my daughter either. I tell her that they are not puppies the are little people with minds to think with and hearts to feel with and they do have rights .I am here to try to teach them how to make the right choices not tell them what they have to do like it or not. Some things yes parents have to make choices for them and teach them why i made that choice for them, not just because i said so. We have a lot of family meetings around here,and the kids don't always get what they want, they get what i think is best for them after we talk it out and EVERYONE has a chance to make their feelings known.My kids all 4 are people not pets.My daughter is upset that the few crumbs she was getting from her Dad are gone now. Did I handle this right in your opinion?

Thank you for using Just Answer. First of all, I applaud you for having such important family meetings. Also, I praise you for the way you handled the situation with the ex wife. Not attending the same church was a very mature and wise move. However, another solution must be agreed upon so that your daughter can see her dad. She obviously valued her relationship with her dad even if the time was so brief. Try to come up with a solution so that your daughter will not feel like her feelings were neglected. Can your ex take her to the park at least once a month or participate in another activity. Her dad should at least think of another alternative to see each other as well.
Have a blessed day.

It has been a real battle trying to make Dad and his wife understand how important it is for the girls to spend time with him. I can't force him to want to spend time with them. He never wants to make time for them. As long as the girls go to this church with them , they get a few minutes twice a week, on the ride to and from. The older girls have pretty much given up on any real Daddy time. When they complain , they are told he doesn't want to hear their drama and BS.
I tossed aside the visitation plan and told him, the kids can have any and/or all the time he can spare when ever he can ,so that there is no reason to ,not see them.He and his new wife and 2 yr old son live only 6 mile from us and I will change my plans around anytime he needs me to do so. I have begged this man to be a part of their world.I even told him, if I am them problem, I can send the kids out to him for pick up and he never has to see or speak to me. The man lost his job the 29th of May and did not go back to work for 2 1/2 months. The kids were out of school for summer break the same 2 1/2 months.Never one time did he see the girls outside the church. 700 excuses , but no Dad.They are not allowed to tell him how they feel, it's called drama & BS.He says he is not going to kiss their behinds and let them try to pull his new family into all the drama.
It is so hard to try to help them understand that these girls have feeling and are allowed to get upset when Dad does not see or feel what they need him to hear.
In the beginning (2008) the kids and I had no idea he was unhappy and planning to leave .It was a total shock to me and the kids, after 23 yrs of marriage you would think I would have seen it coming.But it happens,to marriages, not to the realationship between you and your kids.These kids have worked so hard to accept so very many things just for that small peice of Dad's time.It has been very hard for them after they found out that he left them to be with my best friend of 8 yrs. a family friend they all loved very much.
I closed up a part of me and bit my lip to try to make this even a little easier for the girls. After the first few months I even let everyone believe that I did not want to give up my best friend, i still loved her and we can break all the rules and still be best friends, so the kids would never have to play the divorce game , hate one to love another.It did not work for long, even the kids noticed Mom was doing all the giving and they the demanding.I still wish so hard and pray that somehow before it is too late,that this man who fathered these amazing little people would soften his heart and let him know them as the people they each are, they are great kids .And each have very different and wonderful hearts,minds, and souls, that he is missing out on.
Emotional abuse is always what the girls end up with from Dad and his wife, it is very sad. It does not have to be.Both their Dad and I have remarried and have our own new families.There is NO reason they can't be a part of both.I don't know what to do from this point. Trying to make it all ok for everyone has not done anything but make the x-husband expect even more from me.I don't have much left, and it really hurts deep to let them tell me what a bad parent I am because I don't agree with the new wife.
the two older kids 12 & 18 don't want to try anymore and the 9 yr old just had the door slammed in her face the 3rd - 4th time. I am feeling like a bad parent now because I keep the door open in hopes someday Dad will wake up and salvage some kind of realationship with his girls.My hope is wearing thin each time he breaks a heart. I don't think he really wants to see them at all anymore, he just does not come out and say it.So what do I do now ?
replied 5 years ago.
You are correct in the fact that you cannot make your ex change the way he feels about your girls. His new wife is probably manipulating his every move. Unfortunately, your girls and you are suffering. I would suggest that at least your youngest seek counseling so as to learn how to deal with such a frustrating situation at such a young age. Ask your daughter's pediatrician for a referral for a counselor and or psychologist. That might be the best route to go. She needs some intervention and coping strategies on an on going basis.

Laurie Fine sued ESPN for libel Monday, as she announced last week that she would.
The filed lawsuit is four pages longer than the 44-page document Fine distributed at a news conference Wednesday, when she accused ESPN of reporting child-molesting allegations that the network knew or should have known were false about her husband, former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine.
The extra pages were added because, in response to Fine's news conference, ESPN released a 47-minute recorded phone conversation between her husband's chief accuser, Bobby Davis, and Laurie Fine.
The phone conversation, which Davis secretly taped in 2002, will help Laurie Fine's case, said her lawyer, Lawrence Fisher.
In the taped call, "she repeatedly confirms that Bernie never molested Davis," the lawsuit said.
But also in the tape, Davis says Bernie molested him and Laurie doesn't deny the allegations or sound surprised.
In the call, Laurie "repeatedly cautions Davis to not be in contact with Bernie in light of Davis' accusations" and "repeatedly looks out for Davis as a mother would," the lawsuit said.
In the call, she also tells Davis that Bernie Fine "had no business doing what he did with you," and that, "You did nothing wrong and you were a child and he took advantage of that."
ESPN officials have said the lawsuit has no merit and that the network stands by the story it broke Nov. 17.
Laurie Fine's lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Syracuse.
SU fired Bernie Fine Nov. 27, the day that ESPN and The Post-Standard published stories about the taped phone call. He has not been charged and denies all wrongdoing.

Fitness for someone with hand damage.
I destroyed a finger in a way that is permanent & painful (details inside). I think even partnered dance might be impossible because the way my hand would be held might hurt. While I'm looking for non-partnered dance classes that fit my schedule (way harder than I thought!), are there any other fitness activities I could learn that would result in a skill akin to dance, rock climbing, or martial arts?

Ouch, ouch, ouch
I have recently gotten back into cardio and have signed up for a Spartan a Race in April...yeah me! Now the problem...I think I have extensor tendinitis in my left foot. About a mile into a run/walk, the top of my foot up into my ankle starts to burn. It doesn't stop me, but damn it hurts. I have tried loosening my laces, ice, pain killers...no help. Is there anything other than stopping the cardio? Thanks hive!
What kind of doctor for the whole body?
For the past few years I have been giving myself tendon injuries in quite a few of my joints... elbow's, knee's, and achilles mostly. I'm been slowly becoming more active for several years now, following an achilles injury that didn't quite heal up for 4 or 5 years. In my late 30's... I know, I'm shedding quite a bit of my invincibility at a steady rate now. As I said, I keep hurting myself. Mostly when I ramp-up the rigor, or try something slightly different at the gym. I have a pretty long and gentle warm-up and stretching routine, I don't think I really go for an increase too quickly, and only work out every other day or so... but various tendons disagree, at different times, and for different reasons. Based on the frequency and degree of pain/discomfort/etc, and how careful I am about not doing too much too quickly, I think frequency of injuries are out of the norm. Here's the nut of what I really want to know: What's the best kind of doctor (already tried my GP) to see about this? It's hampering some of my hobbies and reasonable ambitions quite a lot, so I want to start finding more aggressive help/tests/advise. Who can help from a whole body perspective? Yes to yoga, and learning all kinds of stretches. Looking for more than a PT at this point. Thanks all!

A funny thing happened at the Miami beach house Thursday night in a (sorta) new episode of Jersey Shore (which actually first aired Sunday before the VMAs).
No, it wasn't the blue tennis balls graphic behind The Situation when he talked about the girl who left him at an inopportune time (still, well done, MTV!). For just a moment, amidst the usual hookups, drunken evenings and Angelina-Jose-Situation drama, Vinny became the most endearing guy on TV.
The self-professed "mama's boy" welcomed his mother, Paula to the house and sang her praises. "She puts everyone before herself," Vinny says. "They don't make women like my mother anymore." He shows his love, too, proudly producing a towering gelato sundae for his mom at work.
Then, there's Vinny's crush, Ramona, whom he wants to wine, dine and "wife up." When she accepts his dinner invitation, a jubilant Vinny break dances by the phone in celebration.
To prepare for the date with Ramona, Vinny gets his haircut, shops for new clothes and even hits the florist. "I treat some girls like I treat my mother," he explains. "Like gold." But that afternoon, Ramona bails on the date. After hanging up in frustration, Vinny calls her back to apologize and begs her to reconsider.
In the end, Ramona never shows, Vinny is left alone at the house and a collective "awww" can be heard across the Jersey Shore-viewing nation.

Yesterday, after a fight with M that included her crying a lot and telling me she hated me, I went to her room to talk to her after she had calmed down.
"Mommy, I'm sorry I said I hate you."
"Thank you for saying you're sorry, baby. You know, we can get mad at each other and fight and still love each other."
"I know, Mommy. I'm sorry, because I love you really big."
"I love you too, baby."
"Mommy, I know what 'love' is."
"What is it, sweetheart?"
"It's when you pick me up and carry me so we can hug each other really tight with my face against your neck, and you rub my back."
"That's exactly what love is."
And then I picked her up and carried her, while she put her face against my neck and I rubbed her back (my heart may have also melted).
For the record, 'love,' according to Z, is when he wakes up in the morning and I give him a back massage.

I've used the Mothers Clay bar with great results also - I have the powerball & it's not that great IMO, your experience may vary...lol.
As for polishes I still like Meguiars Nxt Generation but Autoglym is still my favourite by far for paintwork.
Carplan Black Wax is hard to beat for dark plastics (I don't believe it's available over here though).
T-Cut is my fave for removing swirls & scratches (also a UK product, Meguiars Scratch-X isn't bad though).
Meguiars Endurance High Gloss Tire Shine does a great job on...err..well Tires of course...lol...also other rubber items (air intake for example).
Meguiars Nxt Generation Tech Protectant is great for interior trim.
Invisible Glass cleaner is great on glass (of course) but it's foaming action is awesome for taking bugs off the car in general & does not hurt the paint at all.
Think that about covers my detailing kit aside from a selection of old toothbrushes for cleaning the grille & radiator (yes I know I'm sad..hehe), various microfibre clothes (2 for each type of polish, one to wipe on, one to wipe off), laytex gloves (cleaning tires can be messy), 2 sponges (one for the paintwork, one for cleaning tires & wheelwells), chamois leather, California Duster, California Duster Flexible Water Blade & an empty cat litter container which fits inside the bag & makes a great bucket.

The Real Goods store, located in Northern California, has analog meters for sale, at a reasonable $49 each ($7.95 shipping). You can order one by calling them at (707) 472-2407.
You can also buy them on eBay.com here:
These are analog meters with a numerical readout (not digital). They are used but refurbished, and their accuracy certified by a firm in Florida. Shipping is FedEx Ground, and it usually arrives in 1 to 2 days for CA addresses. They will also ship out of state. (The photo here is not a direct representation of the meters they sell, but very similar to their model.)
Is having your own electric meter changed a crime? Is it "tampering" as PG&E has told people? Basically, no, it does not constitute "tampering", i.e "a misdemeanor crime which requires the specific intent to get the utility service for a lower cost." Read more on EMFSafetyNetwork.org
From Sandi Maurer:Here's another source for analog meters at a lower cost:
I spoke with Eric Fry at the Real Goods store (which sells solar systems made in the USA), and he says they are going a brisk trade in these meters. He wholeheartedly supports people being educated about their electricity, and people having choices. They do work with PG&E when installing systems, but he doesn't expect flak from them for freely selling analog meters.
We say, more power to them!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- There's a very old joke in the computer world about four nerds sitting in a dead car. The electrical engineer says the car needs a new battery. The mechanical engineer blames the transmission. The chemical engineer blames the fuel system.
The software designer then says, "Why don't we all get out the car, shut the doors, wait a minute, then get back inside and try again?
That's a long way of saying that a lot of the problems I've been having in trying to use this Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet computer as a laptop replacement suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.
Having to hand-code each line of text in HTML? As far as I can tell, the latest Android update to Firefox's browser cured that. At first, I thought the tablet's sudden ability to work well with Cleveland.com's software was because of some system update on our side. But Firefox is still the only browser that works well.
And just as suddenly as the blog software began working properly, so did our webmail system.
I was trying to show my colleague Michelle McFee (Twitter:@mjarboe) the problems I'd been having with webmail, but when I showed her how I could see email subject lines but not open the individual messages, the tablet turned me into a liar. The mail popped up in new windows, just like it does on my laptop.
On the down side, the updated browser is a tad slower. There's a slighty but noticeable lag when I type. Still, it's a much faster experience than hand-coding each line.
In addition, a feature that lets me write my entries in a text editor or QuickOffice then paste them into our blog software also began working. Typically, I write my entries directly into the blog system, but if I'm working with poor or no wireless access, I could write my entries in another program and easily paste them into this system.
The big test for how this all works in the real world is just over a week away. The North American International Auto Show in Detroit starts a week from Monday, but I'll be in Detroit on Sunday, Jan. 8, the cover some of the preliminary events.
At this point, I've extremely optimistic that I won't need my laptop much if at all. The big questions that I still need to answer are things like battery life, ease of use in crowded rooms, the ability to easily capture video and audio and simiilar functional issues.
The tablet is now passing the compatibility test, so let's bring on the functional questions.

|Switch Controller Project
As RePlay for Kids expands the types of toys that are modified, we are finding that some toys require more than a simple 3.5mm receptacle to best utilize the toy. A child still needs to be able to activate it with a single switch, but newer toys may be best used by activating multiple switches or a sequence of multiple switches. Dave Young of Young Circuit Designs and Ed Rapp of Flocel got together to come up with a simple solution that would monitor a switch input and then control up to 8 outputs. The system is based on the MSP430 microcontroller and some N-channel and P-channel FETS. What happens when the switch is pressed is totally customizable in the firmware.

5 flavors you should try
Salt and acid. Americans want more of those flavors in their foods, and Alex Guarnaschelli is ready to deliver.
When it comes to developing big, bold flavors, salty and acidic ingredients are among the most basic of building blocks. It's why salt and vinegars are such go-to items in the American kitchen; a small amount of either can heighten the flavors -- and particularly the natural sweetness -- of all the other ingredients.
But Guarnaschelli -- a regular on Food Network's "Chopped" and "Iron Chef America" and author of "Old School Comfort Food" -- says home cooks have started looking for new sources. And to help them out, she recently shared some ingredients she thinks Americans should use more often.
Pickle juice: "Particularly cornichons, you know, the little pickles," Guarnaschelli said. "The liquid in there really makes a great vinaigrette. And it really adds a lot when you have a mayonnaise-based sauce or an aioli or a tartar sauce or a spicy mayo. Just throw in a splash of that. It's sort of like adding some salt and some vinegar at the same time."
Lemon marmalade: "That is another underground flavor helper," Guarnaschelli said. "If I make something spicy, it adds both a touch of sweetness and a bitter note. I'm always looking for jars of things that I can just add a tiny dot of to round flavors out and make them more complex."
Mustard seeds: "If I am making a spice rub or a spice mix for a braise or even just to crust a piece of fish, I'll use mustard seeds. If you soak them in a little bit of vinegar and let them get plumped and soft and then you pur�e them, they're delicious. And there's just a touch of heat to them."
Dry marsala: "I find that it's good in anything, especially a marinade for a chicken or a steak. Mix it with a little bit of mustard to make a delicious marinade. I can pretty much add a splash of it to almost any soup under the sun with good results. ... It's delicious."
Turnips: "People think of them as this misshapen lonely, lumpy overstewed kind of bland vegetable. First of all, they're delicious chopped up raw. I love to slice them thin and lay them out over a plate and then lay some slices of apple over it with olive oil. They're really a lot more like radishes than one might think. They're also delicious roasted. Toss them with a little olive oil and throw them in a really hot oven with nothing, and then I just toss them with a vinaigrette when they come out, and they're dynamite."

Crowd control with chemical agents: Fundamental questions raised
Book review
Michael Crowley, Chemical Control: Regulation of Incapacitating Chemical Agent Weapons, Riot Control Agents and their Means of Delivery (Palgrave Macmillan: Basingstoke, 2015), 378p.
Anybody who has attended one of Michael Crowley's annual presentations at the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on the challenges posed by riot control and incapacitating agents for the future of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) knows his passion for the subject matter. And his overwhelming knowledge about the latest developments in science, technology, industry and government policies. These characteristics also typify his book on the topic, Chemical Control, published late last year.
Nuclear Terrorism – Book published
Nuclear Terrorism: Countering the Threat
Routledge, 262 pages
About the Book
This volume aims to improve understanding of nuclear security and the prevention of nuclear terrorism.
Nuclear terrorism is perceived as one of the most immediate and extreme threats to global security today. While the international community has made important progress in securing fissile material, there are still important steps to be made with nearly 2,000 metric tons of weapons-usable nuclear material spread around the globe. The volume addresses this complex phenomenon through an interdisciplinary approach: legal, criminal, technical, diplomatic, cultural, economic, and political. Despite this cross-disciplinary approach, however, the chapters are all linked by the overarching aim of enhancing knowledge of nuclear security and the prevention of nuclear terrorism. The volume aims to do this by investigating the different types of nuclear terrorism, and subsequently discussing the potential means to prevent these malicious acts. In addition, there is a discussion of the nuclear security regime, in general, and an important examination of both its strengths and weaknesses. In summary, the book aims to extend the societal and political debate about the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Am I an academic?
I know: it is not about disarmament or chemical and biological weapons. But it has an enormous lot to do with the field I work in. Self-reflection is good.
Jean Pascal
Am I an academic?
'We have invited think-tankers and academics'. This sentence, often spoken by conference organisers, never fails to annoy me. Certainly if in the next sentence gratitude is then expressed for the think-tankers' willingness to convey the academics' ideas to policy-makers. Read: nothing very substantial is expected from the think-tankers themselves. Their job is just to translate academic brilliance into terms that even practitioners, who apparently are even lower in the academics' esteem, can understand.
No humanitarian justification for biological weapons
On 11 January Digital Journal, an online publication touching upon current events and with a penchant for science and technology affairs, published an Op-Ed by Megan Hamilton, an animal and nature-loving journalist based in Costa Rica, on Technology and the art of modern warfare. The piece is worrying enough for all the new technologies under consideration: fast-firing guns that could be deployed on satellites, direction-changing bullets, laser guns to knock out enemy drones, and so on.
The item that caught my attention was a discussion about a project once run by US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that turned insects into surveillance cyborgs (See also the Gizmodo blog). As Hamilton described it:

Syrian soldiers exposed to 'sarin or a sarin-like substance'
In November I presented the main findings of the preliminary Fact-Finding Mission (FFM) report of 29 October. This particular investigation of alleged use by the Technical Secretariat of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had been requested by Syria. Government officials had transmitted four Notes Verbales alleging 26 chemical weapon (CW) events resulting in 432 casualties. The preliminary report focussed primarily on incidents at Jobar (northeast of Damascus) on 29 August 2014. While the investigators believed that government soldiers had been exposed to an irritant, they could not confirm that the chemical had been used as a weapon. They as good as ruled out chlorine or a neurotoxicant, such as sarin, as the causative agent.
A 2016 prosporous for peace and disarmament
Understanding the Dutch export licence requirement for publishing life science research
During the Meeting of Experts of states parties to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) last August, the Netherlands organised or co-hosted three side events relating to safeguarding the life sciences. A significant incident, in which the Dutch virologist Ron Fouchier and his team were required to obtain an export licence to publish their research on how they had mutated H5N1 into an aerosol-transmissible avian influenza virus variant, undeniably informed the need to clarify national policies and approaches to biorisk management. A month earlier the Appellate Court had annulled the ruling by a lower court in support of the government position on procedural grounds. Does this annulment validate the Dutch government's position or does it imply that the whole debate about the publication of so-called dual-use research in the life sciences is back to square one? Moreover, in the meantime the debate had evolved from a terrorist proliferation risk to one of health security in which the ethics and utility of this type of gain-of-function research stand central. In other words, do biosafety worries warrant biosecurity policy measures, such as the imposition of non-proliferation export controls?
Why stopping acid attacks is a matter of chemical weapons control
By Brett Edwards, James Revill, and Valentina Cartei
December 2, 2015 11.13am GMT
Republished from The Conversation
The use of acid as part of violent crime is apparently on the rise in the UK, and various efforts are being made to reverse what's become a very disturbing trend
The Daily Express has started a campaign to "end the evil of acid attacks", hot on the heels of a similar initiative by The Sun. Both campaigns focus on restricting access to the types of acid most commonly used in such attacks. The Express has launched a petition demanding that "the sale of any acid which could be used as a weapon be properly licensed".

Two important points: There will be no "death panels" — only a new optional benefit to pay for an information session with our doctor to learn about ways to manage end-of-life care.
Second, there will be no rationing of care to seniors because of age. Medicare is a health care program for seniors.
Care will continue and still be determined by our condition and what we and our doctor(s) decide is the most helpful.
Be informed. Be supportive of health care reform — it will not hurt us.

"There are so many remarkable things about They Dared Return one barely knows where to begin...[It] compares easily to the most engaging thrillers you might care to read, but the fact that none of this is fiction makes the story all the more compelling. A compelling and thought-provoking book."
Magill Book Reviews
"Memorializes the legacy of a group of America's little-known heroes…This book should be required reading by every American today, no exceptions!"
Martyrdom and Resistance, May/June 2012
"Much has been written about Jews as victims during the war. Not nearly enough has been written about Jews as fighters. Patrick K. O'Donnell's volume They Dared Return: The Story of Jewish Spies Behind the Lines in Nazi Germany is thus very welcome and important, and tells a unique and little known story."

An NPN transistor is made up of two N-type materials and one p-type materials. The circuit of NPN transistor is controlled by the center section called as base. When the positivvoltage is supplied to the center of the circuit i.e. to the base, the circuit connecting collector, base and emitter is closed and the NPN transistor is turned ON.
So technician A and B is correct.
Therefore, correct option is.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - The Morgan Arts Council has announced another series of innovative classes for adults and teens aimed at continuing development of theater skills.
Ice House costumer Marti Sikes continues the successful Extreme Costume Challenge weekend she invented for MAC in 2009. Classes begin at 9 a.m. Saturday and conclude on Sunday.
Sikes promotes the 12-hour weekend program as "a great way to make your Halloween costume and have it previewed for an audience."
Students learn a variety of design, sewing and attachment tricks, then stage a runway show with prizes at the conclusion of the weekend.
The runway show is open to the public and begins at the Ice House at 1 p.m. In addition to the performance aspect, students are being molded into a ready team of costumers for community theater.
Sikes has designed and managed costuming for theaters throughout the Washington, D.C., area since 1984 and for the Ice House Theater Project and various local school productions for the past six years.
Fact Box
What: Extreme Costume Challenge
When: Begins 9 a.m. Saturday and ends Sunday
Where: Ice House, Independence and Mercer streets, Berkeley Springs
From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Nov. 5 and 19, Kirsten Trump presents intensive classes in dialects. Students may take one session or both. Trump teaches theater at Shenandoah University and has extensive experience as a professional dialect coach, including work with the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherdstown.
"Kirsten offered a single dialect session for MAC a couple years ago, and it proved so popular we decided to offer it again," said Mary Hott, MAC's executive director.
Gary McDaniel begins an intensive three-semester program of acting classes in the famed Meisner technique at 6 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Ice House. After a break for the holidays, classes will be continued. Two more eight-week sessions follow. According to McDaniel, Meisner offers students solid technique for building a character, developing real emotion, creating relationship, working off a partner and engaging in real behavior on stage.
Drawing on his own graduate-level training with a protege of Meisner, McDaniel has created memorable characters in recent Ice House Theater Project productions, including Captain Hook in Peter Pan.
Those interested in developing acting skills that can easily be transferred to daily life situations can anticipate a series of classes in improvisation taught by Jill Klein Rone in early 2012.
"It is exciting to see new people get involved in theater through these classes and offer longtime actors specialty classes to help them continue to develop their skills,"?Hott said.
Hott invites potential students to experience Ice House theater activities as audience for "The Crucible," opening for a seven-show run on Oct. 21.
Theater classes at the Ice House School of the Arts are funded in part by the West Virginia Commission on the Arts as well as student tuition. For more information or to register, call the Ice House at 304-258-2300.

A case of anemia associated with neurologic changes that followed gastrointestinal surgery is presented.

In August, 1948, a 50% gastric resection with a gastrojejunostomy reconstruction was performed. The pathological report of the specimen revealed no peptic ulcer.

An MRSA infection is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium
Staphylococcus aureus
. The bacteria can affect the skin, blood, bones, or lungs. A person can either be
with MRSA. When a person is infected, the bacteria produce symptoms. A person colonized also has the bacteria, but it may not cause any symptoms. A MRSA infection is serious because the bacteria are resistant to many common antibiotics that are used to treat infections.
There are two types of MRSA infection:
. People who have community-acquired MRSA infection were infected outside of a hospital setting (eg, dormitory). While nosocomial MRSA infection occurs in a healthcare setting (eg, hospital, clinic).
An MRSA infection can spread through several mechanisms:
The following factors increase your chance of infection. If you have any of these risk factors, tell your doctor:
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not assume it is attributed to an MRSA infection. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your doctor.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Tests may include the following:
Talk with your doctor about the best
treatment plan
for you. Treatment options include the following:
Antibiotics are given to kill the bacteria. Only a few antibiotics are available that can treat a MRSA infection.
Your doctor may

Do the following to treat the infection and to keep it from spreading:
Decolonization is a process to help rid your body of the MRSA infection. This process may involve using nasal ointments, washing with special soap, and taking medicines (including antibiotics). Decolonization is only recommended in certain cases.

'The world is watching'
Thousands commemorate 'Bloody Sunday' attack
By Kalin Thomas Contributing Writer | 3/8/2013, noon
SELMA, Alabama – Three busloads of metro Atlanta activists, civic leaders and laypeople traveled to this iconic Southern town on Sunday to commemorate the 48th anniversary of a notorious police beating of civil rights marchers known as "Bloody Sunday."
Local residents joined more than 5,000 activists, elected officials and other community leaders – led by Vice President Joe Biden and Georgia Congressman John Lewis – in crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge this past Sunday to remember the police beating and continue the fight for equal rights in America.
Many metro Atlanta marchers – reflecting on the long, bloody and often deadly fight for civil rights – said they became overwhelmed by the emotion of the moment.
"I got emotional as it struck me of the courage that the original marchers had to have as they walked across that bridge into the crowd of police and state troopers," said Victoria Ferguson, a member of First African Church in Atlanta.
Beth Williams, a member of Dayspring International Ministries in College Park, said images of the nation's horrid past also flooded her thoughts as she crossed the bridge.
"I was crying coming over the bridge thinking how those in uniform didn't protect the marchers in 1965," Williams said. "But to see them protecting us today, made me think of how we've come a long way."
A bloody day
The March 7, 1965 event known as "Bloody Sunday" occurred when nearly 600 marchers – led by a young John Lewis, Atlanta activist Rev. Hosea Williams and leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference – attempted to start a 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights.
After refusing a police order to turn around and return to their churches, the marchers suddenly were attacked by Alabama State Troopers, who beat, stomped, kicked and mauled marchers, many of them women and young children.
The brutal attack was broadcast to horrified viewers via TV news cameras that night and was key to rousing a sleepy nation about the fight for human and civil rights in America.
Some two weeks later, another march successfully moved along U.S. Route 80 – now known as the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights Trail – and ended at the Alabama State Capitol in Montgomery.
Television coverage of the historic marches helped spark passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which struck down barriers to voting by African Americans and, ultimately, created political opportunities for blacks across the nation eager to pursue political office at the local, state and national levels.
Speaking to the reenactment marchers last weekend, Biden said nothing shaped his consciousness more than watching TV footage of the savage attack in 1965.
"We saw in stark relief the rank hatred, discrimination and violence that still existed in large parts of the nation," Biden said during a pre-march rally at the foot of the bridge.
Biden said marchers "broke the back of the forces of evil," but that challenges to voting rights continue today with restrictions on early voting and voter registration drives and enactment of voter ID laws.

In Northern Ireland, Protestants and Catholics unite against minorities
By John Nagle, Slate
For the rest of the world, Northern Ireland already has a notorious reputation for religious intolerance and sectarian hatred.
Despite the 1998 peace accord to end 30 years of violent conflict, Northern Ireland remains a deeply divided society, and the appearance of intense residential segregation, separate schooling and low levels of mixed marriage are a serious problem.
But Northern Ireland has now put in a bid to be seen as a haven for equal opportunity bigots, demonstrating its capacity to broaden the local sphere of intolerance to embrace groups outside of the traditional Catholic/Protestant dualism.
First, a leading Protestant preacher announced that "Islam is Satanic." The pastor's reputation was defended by the leader of Northern Ireland's government, Peter Robinson. Robinson added, somewhat peculiarly, that while he doesn't trust Muslims who practice Sharia law, he would "trust them to go to the shops" for him.
Then, Anna Lo — a local Northern Irish politician originally from Hong Kong — threatened to leave politics after experiencing racist threats and abuse.
In 2004, Belfast was awarded the dubious honor of "Europe's race hate capital" after a series of racist attacks.
In 2009, around 20 Roma families were forced to flee their homes in Belfast in the aftermath of sustained racist attacks from local gangs.
Recent research notes increasing numbers of attacks against ethnic minorities. Sexual minorities are also the targets of hate crime in Northern Ireland. In 2013, there were 246 homophobic incidents reported to the police, the highest number of incidents ever recorded. In June that year, Northern Ireland's biggest political party used its power of veto to block the legalization of same-sex marriage.

Someone here knows more about this than i do (in fact a whole bunch of people probably do). But, as i recal placing a foreward handguard or grip on a semi-auto pistol places it firmly into the AOW category.
July 5, 2004, 09:47 PM
I believe you're right. Forward handgrips are a big no-no for pistols. I've looked at this auction before. My FFL would be very upset with me if I transferred in something like this.
July 6, 2004, 12:41 AM
Illegal AND ridiculous in appearance
July 6, 2004, 01:31 AM
This would not be classified as an AOW (Any Other Weapon) nor would it be unlawful under the AWB since there aren't enough "assult weapon features".
The problem with forward grips has to do with pistols that have a detachable magazine NOT located in the grip. Which is why it is a no-no to put a foregrip on a pistol based on an AR-15 action.
Badger Arms
July 6, 2004, 12:00 PM
ATF has made the decision that a handgun (but not a machine gun,
since a machine gun is not also an AOW) with more than one hand
grip at an angle tot eh bore is an AOW. This is based on the gun
a) being concealable on the person, and b) not meeting the
definition of a "pistol" in the regulations promulgated under the
NFA, since they say a pistol has a single grip at an angle to the
bore. However, at least one federal magistrate has decided that if
the grip is added later, the gun is not "originally designed" to be
fired by holding in more than one grip, and thus putting a second
grip on a pistol does not make it an AOW. ATF does not regard the
decision as binding. The case is U.S. v. Davis, Crim No. 8:93-106
(D.S.C. 1993) (Report of Magistrate, June 21, 1993). The
prosecution was dismissed at the request of the Government before
any review of that determination by the trial judge.
27 CFR sec. 179.11 - "pistol. A weapon originally
designed, made and intended to fire a projectile
(bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one
hand, and having: a) a chamber(s) as an integral
part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s);
and b) a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand
at an angle to and extending below the line of the
bore(s). The term shall not include any gadget device,
any gun altered or converted to resemble a pistol, any
gun that fires more than one shot without manual
reloading, by a single function of the trigger, or any
small portable gun such as: Nazi belt buckle pistol,
glove pistol, or a one-hand stock gun designed to fire
fixed shotgun ammunition."

Now, if you ain't already confused enough, you didn't read it well enough. So the definitive answer is... MAYBE. Of course, this obviously outlaws the 'Homeboy' pistol I was saving up to get... can anybody tell why?

The evolution of animated gifs: Podcamp Toronto 2013
Feb 26th
My shortbangs bring all the boys to the yard, and they're like "Did you cut your own bangs with dirty kitchen shears or something?"
Dang right, I cut my own bangs with dirty kitchen shears or something — I could teach you, but I'd rather just talk about animated gifs because I'm not very good at cutting my own hair.
And that was Saturday. Wake up, butcher bangs, go to present at a conference. I ain't even mad.
That there is the description for the "Evolution of the animated gif" talk I gave at Podcamp Toronto 2013 on Saturday Here are my slides, but be forewarned that animated gifs don't appear on SlideShare. Or Prezi. Or Sliderocket. Or anything I've been able to find in the cloud. I had to run the entire thing from my MBP! KEEP UP, SOFTWARE.
This was my fourth year attending the annual "unconference" at Ryerson's Rogers Communications Centre, and while many things have changed since 2009, nothing brightens up a dreary February day like getting together with some old like-minded friends. I always have a great time at Podcamp.
Last year, I gave a presentation on internet memes, which feels pretty trite already after only one year. It was funny though. There were lots of people and they laughed.
I feel as though this year's presentation was less hilarious, more informative. I spoke about the history of the animated gif as both a file format and a unit of culture; its ups and downs throughout the 90s and 2000s (oughties? god, I hate writing about that decade) as well as its contemporary use in news and entertainment media, business, art, fashion and online communities.
There were cinemagraphs and lenticulars and FASHGIF and even Myspace glitter graphics.
If I'd have given myself more time to prepare, I'd have built my own physical gif for the occasion. Maybe.
This 6 and a half minute long video from PBS (who is absolutely KILLING IT online lately, no joke — one of the best web content producers in the game right now) will sum up most of what I said in my presentation and then some in a far more entertaining way than clicking through my slides.
The website for twohundredfiftysixcolors (a "16mm film that traces the arc of increased complexity and pointed use of the animated gif") has some great, more academic resources too.
And if you'd just like to see how the presentation and my morning went in real time, Here's a wee Tweet / Vine / GIF dump for y'all.
BONUS for me; some guy said I looked like Sailor Moon in that outfit. I'm not even going to try and misconstrue that as creepy (Not a Cosplay kind of convention, yo) because of how flattered I was. Moon… Prism… BEDTIME.
Grammy Lulz and FASHUNSTUFF + Barklemore's "Pet Shop"
Feb 12th
Hoy litens,
Yeah, I ball. But this post isn't about me breaking the NFL's Super Bowl party display thingies (Sahrry Commish! And I'm also sorry for my point of reference to you being a post on The Cut about how you sat next to Anna Wintour at Kimberly Ovitz's show the other day.)
BEY-sically, I didn't get time to finish the Weekend Wrap party post I had been working on last Monday (Maple-Rosemary donuts at the opening of 2ndFloorEvents! Diplo and the wasted masses at a Bud Light Platinum Party! SUPERBOWLSTUFF! Other Stuff! voila.) and I just really liked that photo… predominantly because I know what happened directly after it was taken (SMASH! Again, sorry Commish. Great party!)
ANYHOO, what I actually wanted to blog about this fiiiine Monday evening (but should have last night if I really wanted it to mean ANYTHING to ANYBODY who isn't myself in the future since every major web outlet is full-staffed during major events now for instant gif coverage a la 2013): Grammy lulz.
PIMP CANE PRINCE is not even funny, just awesome. That "no puffy genital" wardrobe advisory that nobody followed anyway was pretty funny too, but alas, that was pre-Grammy.
In no particular (but semi-chronological at times) order, here are ten of the funniest things that happened at the 55th annual Grammy Awards last night, as remembered by my brain:
1. When Tyler the creator duckface photobombed Frank Ocean's mom, deuces up. His Tweets throughout the night were hilarious too, if you've got the stomach for Tyler. Thank goodness I do
2. Jay-Z yelling "You're Welcome!" after Lena Dunham's boyfriend's friend thanked him for something, drinking from his Illuminati chalice like a boss the entire time. Gotta love Jay.
3. T-Swift totally pwning her teenaged ex-boyfriend in front of everybody. I don't know much about Harry Styles, but I wanted to hate him for girl power's sake at that very moment. TEAM TAYLOR!
4. Speaking of Taylor Swift, Bwahahaha.
5. And also, WHITE PEOPLE DANCING!
I feel like Taylor Swift is a prettier, younger, more talented, farrrr wealthier version of myself sometimes. I really do.
These two just creep me out with their plastic faces.
6. Chris Brown Trying to throw some shade at Frank Ocean by sitting during his standing ovation and GETTING YELLED AT BY ADELE! Go Adele! I totally love her now.
7. Kelly Clarkson photobombing Ellen and Portia:
8. Bruno Mars' hat, hehehe.
9. When Carrie Underwood's dress' screensaver turned on halfway through her performance. Oops! Teehee!
10. Ellen and Beyonce, presenting together…. Not at all funny, again, but great.
Speaking of Justin Timberlake though, WOAH. Talk about bringing sexy back… and forth, and back, and forth…
Gifs on Gifs on Gifs, girl!
I am now very tired and ready for sleep. Sleep is important you know. Listen to Amy:
Before I go, my picks for the best dressed on the 2013 Grammy Awards red carpet include:
T-Swift, Karlie Kloss, Rihanna, Bey, Count 2 Chainz, Adele (seriously, that outfit was perfect on her), Kat Denning, Kaley Cuocuo, and really I'm just naming off TV actresses I like at this point.
Worst dressed: Florence Welch, J-Lo (Why you gotta try so hard?), Carly-Rae Jepsen, Estelle and… I'm torn on Katy Perry.
Purrhaps I'll add pictures to illustrate tomorrow. But for now, y'all can GOOGLE THEM. It's past my bedtime.
Lauren does her dance thing. vine.co/v/b12jVWaV6DQ

Salary Breakeven for Private vs. Public College Graduates
I had lunch today with a few friends and the topic of private versus public college came up, a topic they recommended I put on my blog (so to appease them, I did!). As the graduates of private colleges, we were all curious what the difference in salary between graduating from a private college, paying $30,000+ a year for tuition/room/board/etc, and graduating from a public college, paying $10,000 a year for room, board, etc. The impetus of the conversation was that one friend knew someone who was graduating as a radiation oncologist and did a similar analysis between doctors and typical engineers (his analysis said it took twenty years for the doctor, a radiation oncologist, to "catch up" to an engineer, after accounting for typical raises, college loan debt, and other factors). So what's the break-even point between private and public college graduates?
The answer …?

Miike Snow – Bavarian (Say You Will)Tweet
The mighty Miike took to Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night to debut "Bavarian", the third single from the band's due March 26 LP Happy to You. One of the band's more playful whimsical moments, "Bavarian" marches along (the band got the Swedish military drum corps to perform on the track) most of its 4 minutes duration; with punches of electronic pulse distributed throughout the give the song more of a Miike Snow sound. "Bavarian" wins on melody, though, with a particularly sharp chorus hook. Give it a spin below.

DETROIT - General Motors Co. announced today that it sold 224,314 vehicles in the U.S. in February, up 7 percent compared with a year ago.
Retail sales and fleet sales both increased 7 percent. The fleet mix was 25 percent of total sales, equal to a year ago, the company announced. Chevrolet sales increased 5 percent over February 2012.
"The housing sector has now joined auto sales in propelling the U.S. economy forward," said Kurt McNeil, vice president of U.S. sales operations. "More importantly, the recovery in new home construction is reinforcing the underlying improvement in auto buying conditions, especially for pickups.
"Light vehicle sales have now been running at a mid-15 million unit annual rate since November," he added. "This sets us up well for the launches of key new products this year, including an all-new generation of Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickups and an all-new Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CTS."
The Cadillac CTS, along with the redesigned Buick LaCrosse and Regal, will be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show later this month.
