The European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms was signed in Rome in 1950 and ratified by the United Kingdom in 1951. It came into effect amongst these states which had ratified it in 1953. The Convention is a treaty under international law and its authority derives only from the consent of the states who are parties to it.
The Convention seeks to protect ceratin named basic human rights such as a right to life (Art 2); freedom from torture, or inhumane or degrading treatment (Art 3); freedom from slavery (Art 4); the right to liberty (Art 5); the right to a fair trial (Art 6); the prohibition of retrospective criminal liability (Art 7); the right to respect for an individual's private and family life (Art 8); freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Art 9); freedom of expression (Art 10); freedom of Association (Art 11) the right to marry and found a family (Art 12).
Even if the Convention was already part of our law which, despite the dicta of Lord Denning and Lord Scarman, it is not, it would, perhaps, not be so effective a protection as is sometimes thought because many of these rights, freedoms, prohibitions and protections are qualified to allow such "interference as in accordance with law" and is "necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or economic well-being, the prevention of crime or disorder, the protection of health and morals", etc.
Of course to allow such interference "as is in accordance with law" full stop would fail to establish any test for legislation because any legislative interference will, by definition, interfere with the defined rights. That requirement, on its own, can be understood as supportive of the Rule of Law but it dos not seriously challenge the Sovereignty of Parliament. However it is important to treat the "and" and a very strong conjunction rather than as any kind of "or" i.e. disjunction. Thus, to conform with the Convention, a constraint on or restriction of freedom must not only be "in accordance with law" but also "necessary in a democratic society ..." This additional requirement could constitute a restriction on the unlimited legislative authority of Parliament but clearly, exactly what is "necessary in a democratic society" is a highly contested matter. For example, both the means and the ends are open to argument. The protection of "health or morals" or the "prevention of crime or disorder" are clearly objectives which a government may , perhaps must pursue but there is much debate about the meaning and scope of such aspirations and debate, too, about how best to realise such ideals. The question is: How far may freedom be restricted in order to achieve such objectives. The standard answer is the "minimum necessary" but that, too, obvious calls judgment into play and, like our watches, though none go exactly the same, we each trust our own. The point is that these clauses provided a very wide basis for the justification of legislation that might appear prima facie suspect under the Convention. Consequently, some of the protections appear to be rather weak. That said, such weak protection, might well be better than no protection at all.
The Convention has been extended by a series of Protocols:-
1st - right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions
2nd - right of parents to have their children educated in accordance with their religious and philosophical beliefs
3rd - right to take part in free elections by secret ballot
4th - guarantees freedom of movement within a state and freedom to leave any country: it precludes a state from expelling its own nationals. This fourth protocol was not been ratified by the United Kingdom because under out immigration laws not all citizens have the right to enter the United Kingdom.
Each state who is party to the convention must so arrange its affairs that all within its jurisdiction enjoy the rights declared and by Art 13 "shall have an effective remedy notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity". Clearly there is an international obligation. What is less clear is whether a state must incorporate the Convention into its domestic law. Several states, e.g. France, Germany, and Italy have done so. Other states, including the UK have not, the primary argument having been that human rights are adequately protected without such incorporation.
That view is not shared by Amnesty International, in a 1991 report, United Kingdom: Human Rights Concerns [The Times, June 8, 1991]. This report claims that against a whole range of benchmarks, from the treatment of terrorist suspects and trial procedures through to the handling of asylum applications, human rights in Britain are under threat. The report accuses Ministers of wilfully and persistently failing even to address human rights concerns. I quote from the report: "The issues of concern are of such gravity as to seriously undermine confidence in human rights safeguards in the United Kingdom". Concerns include the alleged "shoot-to-kill" policies adopted by security forces in Northern Ireland (RUC) and beyond (Gibraltar - SAS) and mounting public disquiet about the effectiveness and probity of the criminal justice system. The report confidently asserts that there can be no doubt that many suspected terrorists held by the Royal Ulster Constabulary have been ill-treated, although cases confirmed by the courts represent only the tip of the iceberg.
Certainly the United Kingdom has been the state most frequently appearing before the European Court of Human rights and the many cases involving the United Kingdom do suggest that the official position up to the change in government in1997, that human rights are adequately protected already is altogether too complacent. Some of the issues adjudicated include, the right of convicted prisoners in English prisons to have access to lawyers (Golder's case); the Government's refusal to admit East African Asians though they has British passports; somewhat inevitably, internment and interrogative procedures in Northern Ireland; the refusal of entry permits to scientologists; birching in the Isle of Man; and the celebrated Thalidomide decision wherein the House of Lords refused the Sunday Times permission to publish articles on the issue because of pending litigation involving the Distillers Company. The decision of the European Court, five years later, being that our law of contempt, as measured by the Convention was not satisfactory. This decision led in turn to the passing of the Contempt of Court Act, 1981, but one may question, in the light of a later decision of the House of Lords (Lords Diplock, Elwyn-Jones, Scarman, Keith and Brandon) in A G v English, the extent to which any significant change actually occurred.
The prosecution of the editor of the Daily Mail for contempt of court arose out of the publication in his newspaper, two days after the start of the trial at Leicester Crown Court of Dr Arthus on a charge of murdering a three-day old mongoloid baby boy, of an address that Mr Malcolm Muggeridge proposed to give in support of a physically handicapped Pro-Life candidate at a forthcoming by-election in Croydon. This article, though it expressed strong views about euthanasia and abortion made no reference whatsoever to Dr Arthur's trial. The issues for the House of Lords was whether under section 2(2) of the Contempt of Court Act, 1981 the article created a substantial risk that the course of justice in the proceedings in question would be seriously impeded or prejudiced and thereby constituted contempt and whether the editor of the Daily Mail could establish under section 5 that the publication was made as part of a discussion of a matter of general public interest, was made in good faith, , and that any risk of impediment of prejudice that the article created to the trial of Dr Arthur was merely incidental to the discussion and that therefore the article did not constitute a contempt of court under the strict liability rule. The House of Lords held the article did create a substantial risk that the course of justice would be seriously prejudiced but it did not constitute contempt because it was made in goof faith on a matter of general public interest and the risk was merely incidental to the discussion of the matter with which the article dealt.
Of course it is easy to agree with Lord Diplock that "Trial by newspaper or ... trial by the media is not to be permitted in this country" and that no publication should be allowed to affect the outcome of any judicial proceedings. But the application of this principle to the facts of the case in hand is less easy to accept. How could the article in question prejudice
the jury in Dr Arthur's case given that the article did not expressly or by implication refer to the trial? Moreover section 2(2) requires a substantial risk of serious prejudice. The section was intended to remove or narrow the "prejudgment" test in the Sunday Times case. There it was held that anything in the nature of a prejudgment constituted contempt and it was also intended to relax the law so that in order to constitute contempt, a publication had to create a real risk as opposed to a remote possibility of prejudice. The Divisional Court thought this difference purely semantic. It would now appear that the words "a substantial risk that the course of justice in the proceedings will be seriously impeded or prejudiced" means "a real risk as opposed to a remote possibility of prejudice". In other words on this particular point the law now appears to be exactly the same as it was before the enactment of the legislation.
The article in this case was "in nearly all respects the antithesis of the article which his House held to be a contempt of court in Attorney-General v Times Newpapers Ltd" (L Diplock). In that case the whole subject of the article was the pending civil trial and the whole purpose was to put pressure on Distillers. So the conclusion is that bona fide discussion on a matter of general public interest is permissible and will not be contempt if it merely incidentally touches upon contemporaneous legal proceedings, but discussion is not permissible and will be contempt if it attempts to comment on those proceedings. The Act was specifically designed in response to the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the Thalidomide case that English Law as it then stood infringed ECHR. That case held that the restriction on publication of articles commenting on pending proceeding was too wide. The new legislation ought too have brought English Law into line with the convention as interpreted by ECHR. It was intended to do so. However on this specific point the legislation does not achieve its purpose because the House of Lords reached an interpretation consistent with the prior existing law. This case is double edged: against it is the fact that it appears to reinstate the old law under the guise of interpretation and thereby sustain the prohibition on publishing any comment on pending litigation. In its favour is the fact that it gives a liberal interpretation to the section 5 defence. (New Law Journal July 22, 1982, pp 693-694). [legitimate state purposes - minimum means necessary; delay - circularity - get it wrong again]
A further weakness in the enforcement procedures is that states have to recognise the right of individual petition and although the United Kingdom has done so, the right of individual petition is contingent upon exhausting domestic remedies - which mean exhausting domestic procedures - and thus an aggrieved individual will have to proceed through all the appropriate domestic courts - including appellate courts - with all the consequent expense and delay before any attempt can be made at vindication in the European Court of Human Rights.
Despite its shortcomings, some regard the European Convention as a better protection of human rights than anything currently operative in the United Kingdom and there have been periodic attempts to incorporate it directly into our law (e.g. the ill-fated Human Rights Bill of 1986). Its chances of being incorporated depend upon its being acceptable to Government and being supported in the Commons. But it is by no means clear that the Conservative Government has any enthusiasm for such reform. [Hailsham-Mackay - dinner]. Clearly incorporation would at least overcome some of the procedural difficulties and delays and would, perhaps, give the courts something authoritative to hang their arguments as a basis for assessing the validity of Acts of Parliament.
Despite the powerful dicta of Lord Scarman and Lord Denning, cited at the end of my second lecture, the Convention is not part of our domestic law. How, then, did such able, eminent, and influential judges come to express such apparently extravagant opinions ? The starting point is with an important maxim of statutory interpretation, namely, that it may be assumed that Parliament does nor intend to enact legislation contravening treaty obligations of the United Kingdom and only express and unmistakable words to that effect will be applied by the courts. This maxim is obviously narrower than the dicta already cited. It applies only where a statute is ambiguous and of the two possible interpretations one is, and the other is not, consistent with a treaty obligation. In such circumstances the courts will - and should - adopt the interpretation which is consistent with a treaty obligation.
The point is very well explained by Lord Reid, speaking for the whole House, in R v Miah [1974] 1 WLR 683, 694, a case which raised the question whether legislation relating to immigration was intended to be retrospective in effect. He said, referring to Art 7, "... it is hardly credible than any Government Department would promote, or Parliament would pass, retrospective criminal legislation"
Let us return to the dicta of Lord Denning in Birdi and Lord Scarman in Pan-American Airways. The first case which next attracts attention is R v Home Secretary ex parte Bhajan Singh [1976] QB 198, 207-208, where Lord Denning said, "What is the position of the Convention in our English Law ? I would not depart in the least from what I said in the recent case of Birdi ... The Court can and should take the Convention into account. They should take it into account wherever interpreting a statute which affects the rights and liberties of the individual. It is to be assumed that the Crown, in taking part in legislation, would do nothing which is in conflict with treaties. So the Court should now construe the Immigration Act, 1971 so as to be in conformity with a convention and not against it ... I would, however, like to correct one sentence in my judgment in Birdi's case. I said that if an Act of Parliament did not conform to the convention, I might be inclined to hold that it was invalid. That was a very tentative statement, but it went too far. There are many cases in which it has been said as plainly as could be, that a treaty does not become part of our law except and insofar as it is made so by Parliament. If an Act of Parliament contains any provisions contrary to the Convention, the Act of Parliament must prevail. But I hope that no Act of Parliament will ever be contrary to the Convention. So the point should not arise. (Pious hope !). I would repeat that when anyone is considering a problem concerning human rights, we should seek to solve it in the light of the Convention and in conformity with it"
Lord Denning then prays Lord Reid's dicta in R v Miah in aid and continues, "So I will say that it is hardly credible, that any Government Department or Parliament will do anything contrary to Art. 12 ... In addition, I would add that the immigration officers and the Secretary of State, in exercising their duties ought to bear in mind the principles stated in the Convention. they ought, consciously or subconsciously, to have ragard to the principles in it".
The next relevant case in this discussion is R v Chief Immigration Officer, es parte Salamat Bibi [1976] 3 All E R 843, 847-848. Here Lord Denning observes, "We have, again, been invited to consider how far this Convention is part of the law of this country. Counsel for the applicant drew our attention to some declarations which have been made by the Government of the United Kingdom. This country has declared, in accordance with Art 25 of the Convention, that the European Commission is competent to receive petitions from pursuers who complain that the rights set forth in the Convention have been violated. If a person has exhausted all remedies available to him in England, he can apply to the European Commission so as to get a remedy there. Counsel for the applicant submits that, in consequence of those declarations, every person is given by Art 8 a right which the courts must recognise and enforce. I cannot accept that submission..."
The position as I understand it is that if there is any ambiguity in our statutes or uncertainty in our law, then these courts can look to the convention as an aid to clear up the ambiguity and uncertainty, seeking always to bring them into harmony with it. Furthermore, when Parliament is enacting a statute, or the Secretary of State is framing rules, the court will assume that they had regard to the provisions of the Convention and intended to make the enactment accord with the Convention, and will interpret them accordingly. But I would disspuste altogether that the Convention is part of our law. Treaties and declarations do not become part of our law until they are made so by Parliament.
I desire, however, to amend one of the statements I made in Bhajan Singh. I said there that the immigration officer ought to bear in mind the principles stated in the Convention. I think that would be asking too much of the immigration officers. They cannot be expected to know, or apply the Convention. They must go simply by the immigration rules laid down by the secretary of state and not by convention. The convention is drafted in a style very different from the way we are used to in legislation. It contains wide general statements of principle. They are apt to lead to much difficulty in application because they give rise to uncertainty. They are not the sort of thing that we can easily digest. Article 8 is an example. It is so wide as to be incapable of practical application. So it is much better for us to stick to our own statutes and principles and only look to the convention in cases of doubt".
Roskill L J added his views about the European Convention of Human Rights, "Like Lord Denning MR I am of the view that this convention is not part of the law of England... a treaty does not become part of the municipal law of this country unless and until it is subject of legislation in the ordinary way. That is axiomatic. It has been laid down for many years. What is said is that the immigration officers should, in exercising their powers under the rules, which I have already said are part of the law of this country, take into account the provisions of the Convention, which is not. With respect, I am unable to agree".
Roskill L J then turned his attention to what Lord Scarman had said: "In R v Secretary of State for home Affairs, ex parte Phansopkar [1975] 3 All E R 497 and again in Pan-American World Airways Inc v Dept of Trade [1976] 1 Lloyd's Reports 257 .. "Scarman L J ... went, if I may most respectfullyl say so, rather [too far]. In the Phansopkar case, Scarman LJ said, after reference to Magna Carts: 'This hallowed principle of our law is now reinforced by the European Convention for the protection of Human Rights, 1950 to which it is now the duty of our public authorities in administering the law, including the Immigration Act, 1971, and of our courts in interpreting and applying the law, including the Act, to have regard...' With respect, that dictum was obiter. As i venture to think, it is somewhat too wide and may call for reconsideration hereafter"... Lord Roskill then cites Scarman's dicta in the Pan-am case, and continues, "There again, with great respect, I think the matter is too widely expressed. Lord Denning MR has already said that perhaps he went somewhat too far in ... Singh, I most respectfully agree with that view".
So, although the European Convention may provide some guidance in the interpretation of statutes , English judges - including the most radical devotees of judicial review and a Bill of Rights for Britain - shied away from regarding the Convention as already being an established legal basis for pronouncing upon the validity of Acts of Parliament.
Under the Human Rights Act 1998, those proposing legislation as well as later the courts will have a duty to asses the legislation for compliance with the convention. Non compliance can arise in surprising ways. Thus rules about custody, surveillance,bugging in police stations, and duties of disclosure may give rise to challenge: Confidentiality; Legal representation; Right to fair trial as in S v Switzerland (1992) 14 E.H.R.R. 670. S was arrested and charged, inter alia, with explosives offences and remanded in custody. Almost all S's communications with his lawyer were under surveillance or intercepted by the Swiss police. He claimed that his inability to consult his lawyer out of the hearing of third parties and in confidence infringed his right to defend himself by way of legal assistance contrary to Art.6(3) and prevented him from speedily being able to challenge the lawfulness of his detention within the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 s.5(4) . Held, that (1) Art.6(3)(c) had been violated; being able to consult a lawyer of one's choice out of the hearing of others was a basic requirement of a fair trial. {What Bill 1997 give or take a year was in NLJ on this point ?)
Also Osman v United Kingdom November 5 (Case No 87/1997/871/1083) where the European Court of Human Rights (Judgment October 28, 1998) held that the effect of police immunity from action sounding in tort was disproportionate; and that in turn may give rise to a reconsideration of the barristers' immunity. Patel v Yazdani an unreported Court of Appeal 22 May 1996 (available on Lexis) is, I understand, now pending for the attention of the ECHR.
International Law
And this is wholly consistent with the general view that treaties are not part of our law unless and until incorporated by statute, e.g .Cheney v Conn [1968] 1 All E R 779, concerning the Geneva Convention and the Act of Parliament implementing it, in which an assessment of income tax was challenged on the grounds that some of the monies raised were for nuclear armaments, contrary to the convention and the Act. It was held that the unambiguous provisions of a statute must be followed even if they are contrary to international law. Ungoed-Thomas J at p 782 emphasised the impossibility of a statute being "unlawful": "What the statute itself enacts cannot be unlawful, because what the statute says and provides is itself the law, and the highest form of law that is known to this country".
Clearly, therefore, an international treaty provides no legally valid criteria for assessing the validity of an Act of Parliament. And the same is said to be true of general international law. Perhaps a word of explanation will help. International law is usually divided into two parts - particular international law and general international law. The former is created primarily by treaties and binds only the parties thereto; the latter is primarily customary and is regarded as binding on all states whether or not they have consented to it. This is obnvious enough as regards rules about the coming into existence of a new state at international law which state, since it was a legal non-entity prior to its existence could not be said to consent to the rules defining the existence of states. Again, the rule that promises, or treaties, are to be kept - pacta sunt servanda - must logically precedent treaties themselves and derive its existence from general international law. The question therefore arises whether the legislative supremacy of parliament is limited by general as opposed to particular international law. Two theories of the relation of state law to international law are widely canvassed in the theoretical literature.
(1) Monism - the doctrine of one law - that international law and state law form one hierarchical unity, rules of international law, perhaps taking precedence over national laws in the event of conflict. [NB Primacy of national cf primacy of international law]
(2) Dualism - the doctrine of two (or more) laws - that national and international law are wholly independent and separate systems and that conflicts between them arte simply a fact of life which do not redound upon the validity of national law.
In the main English judges have adopted a dualist approach and hold that even general international law does not limit the sovereignty of parliament. On such a view the content of general international law is relevant only as a basis for interpretation on the presumption that parliament would not intend to legislate contrary to the norms of general international law and only very clear, express words to that effect will be regarded by the courts as overthrowing the presumption.
Mortensen v Peters (1906) 8 F (J) 93 is widely cited in this context. The herring Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1889 authorised a fisheries board to make bye-laws prohibiting certain types of trawling within the Moray Firth, an area which included some seas outwith British territorial waters. A Danish captain was subsequently convicted in a Scottish Court. The High Court of Justiciary held that its function was restricted to interpreting the Act and the bye-laws made under it and that Parliament clearly had intended to legislate for the conduct of all persons within the Moray Firth, irrespective of the position at general international law.
So, in conclusion as to the first formulation, there is generally little authority for the proposition that courts can question the validity of an Act of Parliament, and much authority that they cannot. Such little authority as there is can be subsumed under one of the following three issues:
(1) Human rights, European Convention, International Law (and now a resurgence of a notion of a" common law bill of rights" and a judicial idea of "co-sovereignty eg Cooke, Kirby, Brown-Wilkinson, Laws, Sedley, eg R v R [1991] Derbyshire v Times [1993] AC 534
(2) Was Parliament Born Unfree ? Does the Act of Union 1707 bear the character of "fundamental law" analogous to a constitution which imposes legal limitations upon a legislature ?
(3) Ancient authorities, prior to 1871, reflecting the theocratic universe of the mediaeval synthesis wherein "God's Laws" were pre-eminent over "man's law" to the extent that legislation contrary to natural law was invalid. This doctrine is captured in the Latin maxim, Lex injusta non est lex, "An unjust law is not a law". Thus Blackstone could write in his Commentaries that the law of nature being coeval with mankind and dictated by God Himself, is superior in obligation to any other. It is universally binding and no human laws are of any validity if contrary to it. But in historical terms the supremacy of parliament over the divinely empowered monarch becomes increasingly clear from the time of the revolution of 1688, so much so that John Austin could write in his Province of Jurisprudence Determined (1832) as follows: "Now to say that human laws which conflict with the Divine Law are not binding, that is to say, are not laws, is to talk stark nonsense. The most pernicious laws, and therefore those which are most opposed to the will of God , have been and are continually enforced as laws by judicial tribunals. Suppose an act innocuous, or positively beneficial be prohibited by the sovereign under penalty of death: if I commit this act, I shall be tried and condemned, and if I object to the sentence, that it is contrary to the aw of God, who has commanded that human legislators shall not prohibit acts which have no evil consequences [Utility the Index to God's Will !] , the Courts of Justice will demonstrate the inconclusiveness of my reasoning by hanging me up in pursuance of the law of which I have impugned the validity. An exception, demurrer or pleas, founded on the law of God was never heard in a Court of Justice from the creation of the world down to the present moment". [I have here a ref to Wade CLJ 179 -197, 187 what year?] But Austin is wrong in what he hers asserts so vehemently. Courts and individuals do take account of the wider laws of humanity, and of justice as they perceive it at least sometimes in interpreting and applying legislation, eg [Old Donald (photocopied, 1997)}
Still, it is only in extreme circumstances that the courts are ever likely to consider the validity of an Act of Parliament and then they are most unlikely to hold other than that the legislation is valid. SO if the courts themselves do not introduce such a rule, namely that the courts could hold acts of parliament invalid, could such a rule be introduced by parliament itself? Those who deny this deploy two arguments (which anticipate a discussion of formula 4):
1. The rule that the courts cannot review Parliament is a fundamental rule of the common law which parliament cannot alter. After all, as they point out, Parliament could not, merely by passing an act, declare itself to be sovereign: sovereignty must be attributed to parliament by some higher rule which defines parliament and is therefore logically and authoritatively prior to parliament. But the impact of this argument is that there is at least one rule, deriving from the common law, which parliament cannot alter. That is a strange way to insist upon parliamentary sovereignty. And, of course, if there is one such common law rule immune from Parliamentary change why should there not be others ? (Formula 4)
2. That parliament could not introduce such a rule because that would be to attempt to bind its successors (Formula 5).
Secondary Legislation
One further point of a general nature might be considered together with the first formulation, namely the pre-eminence of parliamentary legislation in comparison with what is called subordinate or delegated legislation . The point is that courts may assess the validity of such subordinate legislation whereas, as we have concluded, they cannot so treat parliamentary legislation. Examples are conveniently listed in Wade and Phillips, Bradley ed.: these include:
a resolution of the house of commons - Stockdale v Hansard (1839) 9 A & E 1
a proclamation issued by the Crown under prerogative powers; Case of Proclamation (1606) 2 St Tr 371
a minister's subordinate legislation under an act of parliament (even though it has been approved by resolution of each house) - Hoffman La Roche v Sec of State for Trade and Industry [1975] AC 295
bye-laws made by a public corporation or local authority; Kruse v Johhson [1898] 2 QB 91.
By way of illustration I refer the asylum seekers cases in general and to R v Secretary of State for Social Security Ex parte Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants [1996] 4 All ER 385 in particular. Regulations which removed income benefit entitlement from asylum seekers who sought asylum otherwise than on arrival in the United Kingdom and those whose claims for asylum had been decided adversely by the Home secretary and were awaiting appeal were unlawful because they contravened the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 by drastically interfering with the rights of asylum seekers under that Act. Simon Brown LJ said that in recent years the number of persons seeking asylum in the UK had risen both in absolute terms and in relation to the rest of Western Europe. The time taken to resolve their claims was too long and the cost to the taxpayer was enormous. To speed up the process of decision-making and to reduce the expenditure on benefits, the Secretary of State for Social
Security, pursuant to powers conferred on him by the Social Security (Contributions and Benefits) Act 1992, made the 1996 Regulations which came into force on February 5, 1996.
What in essence the regulations did was to remove all entitlement to income-related benefit from two particular categories of asylum-seeker: those who submitted their claims for asylum otherwise than immediately on arrival in the UK and those whose claims had been rejected by the Home Secretary but who then appealed to the independent appellate authorities. The secretary of state's intention was to discourage economic migrants from making and pursuing asylum claims. That would in turn speed up the system to the advantage of genuine refugees and was expected to save the taxpayer some �200 million a year.
No one could dispute the desirability of those aims. There was, however, a problem. A significant number of genuine asylum seekers now found themselves faced with a bleak choice: whether to remain in the UK destitute and homeless until their claims were finally determined or whether instead to abandon their claims and return to face the very persecution they had fled. The applicants' case was in essence that the regulations were in the result
ultra vires. The enabling power, widely drawn though it was, could not, they submitted, have been intended to permit that degree of interference with statutory rights under the 1993 Act and/or fundamental human rights. The argument failed before the Divisional Court.
The present challenge, his Lordship acknowledged, involved carrying the principle in R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, Ex parte Leach ([1994] QB 198) a step further and, that, moreover, in a field where Parliament had been closely involved in the making of the impugned regulations. His Lordship had nevertheless concluded that it was a step the court should take. Parliamentary sovereignty was not in question: the regulations were only subordinate legislation. "... the regulations contemplated for some a life so destitute that
no civilised nation could tolerate it. So basic were the human rights at issue that it could not be necessary to resort to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1953) (Cmd 8969) to take note of their violation. ... "The regulations now in force were so uncompromisingly draconian in effect that they must be ultra vires. Parliament could not have intended a significant number of genuine asylum seekers to be impaled on the horns of so intolerable a dilemma: the need either to abandon their claims to
refugee status or alternatively to maintain them as best they could but in a state of utter destitution. Primary legislation alone could, in his Lordship's judgment, achieve that sorry state of affairs."
But after the coming into effect of the Human Rights Act, 1998 it is open to question whether even primary legislation could achieve that effect. First draft legislation must either be certificated as complying or bear a warning that it does not. Secondly court are required under section 3 to interpret legislation if at all possible so as to comply. If all that fails courts may declare an act inconsistent with the convention and then the government has a duty to amend it by a fast track procedure. Even without all that trappings of the Human Rights Act, the government found when it did try to implement primary legislation along the lines of the Regulations, Parliament would not buy the entire package and some compromise was required in the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996.

Next month, the mad hatter is planning a nice surprise for one of his international customers and it's no tea party.
Trent Johnson , owner of Greeley Hatworks and the hatter who builds custom felt and straw hats, learned just how international his product had become for this Austrian customer via one of his customers in Denver.
The Denver customer is working with an Austrian man on an upcoming dog-breeding deal, Johnson explained. He'll fly to Denver next month to seal it, but out of the blue asked the Denver customer if he knew where Greeley Hatworks was.
"The guy said he bought a Greeley Hatworks hat in Germany," Johnson said. "So, we're going to do a special little tour for him on his trip."
Johnson, who builds hats for 60 U.S. retailers and 12 international retailers from his shop at 2613 8th Ave. in Garden City, sees the "small world" theory in action all the time.
Customers will walk through the door, marveling at the tourist they met on some international beach who had bought a hat from some obscure place in Colorado called Greeley Hatworks.
"I get that a lot. I really do," Johnson said.
He's among a large and growing contingent of manufacturers in Weld County making a name in an area that is chiefly thought of as an agricultural kingpin.
"When you look at the trends nationally, in 2011, we were the No. 2 county in the country for new job creation, and that was predominantly based on manufacturing," said Eric Berglund, president and CEO of Upstate Colorado Economic Development. "And we led the state in the last couple years with new manufacturing jobs."
He added, "You could reference the niche manufacturing that's occurring. It's a huge trend for Weld County. It's the silent undertow that a lot of people don't realize plays a significant role for us."
Weld has made headlines in recent years with the additions of OI bottling and Vestas Blades in Windsor, as well as Leprino Foods and JBS beefing up the former Monfort packing plant in Greeley.
But the smaller, niche-based manufacturing Berglund speaks of is all over and thriving in Greeley — and it has been for some time.
Companies like Burris Co., 331 E. 8th St. in Greeley, which manufactures sports optics, scopes and binoculars in Greeley, have been quietly churning out their goods since the early-1970s and '80s.
Add that to newcomers such as craft brewers and distillers, agricultural products and implements, and jewelry and food manufacturers.
Weld County is growing its manufacturing base from the inside out, while the larger manufacturers associated with industries such as oil and gas are moving in.
That's evidenced by businesses such as PTI Manufacturing, a division of Houston-based Oil States International, which builds temporary housing for oil and gas workers. It opened a 103,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Johnstown last year.
"I think it's going to be incredibly diverse and will evolve and become more sophisticated," Berglund said of Weld's manufacturing. "When you think of manufacturing, you used to think of smokestacks that are dirty and dangerous. I don't think it's any of those things anymore. …
"If you take Greeley Hatworks, for example, the (former) president of the United States wears his hats. Talk about a great outreach. There's such a high-quality product being developed there, it's caught national and international recognition. ... It really is amazing to see what we do."
Johnson, who spends much of his year traveling to international shows, and who has a permanent booth at the Denver Merchandise Mart, marvels at the growth since he took over the 100-year-old business in 1996.
"The last year I was an apprentice, we built 60 hats. The first year I took over, I built 120. Now, we're making 3,500," Johnson said. "The first quarter of 2013 was our best quarter ever — ever. We were up over 25 percent."
It's all about finding a need and fulfilling it, Berglund said. Johnson said he's not even close to being satisfied with the status quo — even in one of his upswings.
"I've got a few things waiting in the wings," he said. "I always have my squirrels and machetes going full speed."
When you look at the trends nationally, in 2011, we were the No. 2 county in the country for new job creation, and that was predominantly based on manufacturing. And we led the state in the last couple years with new manufacturing jobs.

European External Action Service
EEAS Building, 9A Rond Point Schuman - 1046 Brussels
EEAS Building, 9A Rond Point Schuman - 1046 Brussels
In December 2011 Catherine Ashton reaffirmed the centrality of the rights of children to EU human rights policy
"The EU was instrumental in the establishment of the position of Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children and in fact the EU Guidelines expressed unequivocal support to its role. My mandate is therefore an important and tangible human rights mechanism endorsed by the Guidelines, which in turn have remained a critical reference to my work as Special Representative."
This was one of the messages that the UN Secretary General's Special Representative on Violence against Children, Ms. Marta Santos Pais conveyed to the audience on 16 February 2012 at an expert meeting in Brussels, organized by the European External Action Service.
Ms. Santos Pais' words articulately illustrate the EU's longstanding commitment to the Rights of the Child as well as its support to the multilateral human rights mechanisms.
The EU's external policy on Children Rights is underpinned by the EU Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict and the EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child . The two Guidelines present an integrated and holistic approach to children rights, focusing on all rights of the child and all children.
The EU mobilized substantial resources to implement its policy on children, for example through the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights and the thematic programme Investing in People, mounting up to 101.8 million Euros for the period 2007-2013. The EU is also one of UNICEF's major donors and partners.
To strengthen the Europe's action and visibility in the filed, the EU recently appointed Human Rights focal points in every EU Delegations. They have become useful partners for local civil society and international organisations. Within the next three years, they will dedicate more time and efforts to promoting children rights since more than a half of EU delegations decided to focus their work on children. This is in line with the legal commitment introduced by the Lisbon treaty to promote children rights in the contacts of the European Union with a wider world.
In addition, last December, the High Representative Catherine Ashton reaffirmed that Children Rights is one of the European Union's priorities in its external Human Rights policy in the Joint Communication "Human Rights and Democracy at the heart of EU External Action ".
Consultation with civil society
The consultations with civil society and international organisations helped to re-focus the attention of the European Union to a number of issues.
For example, internally, the EU improved child participation in all decisions affecting children, it has taken initiatives to empower them and provide child friendly versions of EU documents. More could be done to strengthen the capacity of the EU delegations to work closely with youth associations and to integrate children in the programming of child-related assistance. It would be good to build further on the good practices that exist; like Barbados, where the EU delegation pays visits to summer camps to engage in a dialogue with children or Kenya, where the EU delegation held a consultation with children to assess the effectiveness of EU action in that country.
Some other recommendations to the EU which were formulated include reinvigorating a holistic approach, focusing on child protection systems and better targeting gender specific violations.
Also, building synergies between the different EU Human Rights Guidelines to strengthen the EU's Human Rights policy.
These recommendations and other comments received throughout the review process will be taken into account, with the intention of adopting the updated EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child in summer 2012.

About our logo
The artwork was developed by Garry Jones, Winner of Art of Place 2000 and National Indigenous Heritage Art Award (works on paper category). Garry has provided the following artwork explanation.
"The artwork is a celebration of our connection and rootedness to the land from which we come, and the life force from which we draw our hopes and inspiration. The spiral represents this energy inherent in the world about us and the dotting is the diffusion of that force throughout the land. The snaking yellow line of dots represents the path or journey along which we travel in life and which maintains our connection to our origins, giving us the core of our identity. The hand print is one of the most fundamental and enduring symbols of our Indigeneity, it also represents our capacity as Indigenous people to have power over our circumstances wherever we are." (Garry Jones 2006)

Meat is not tough on the digestive system
Meat is not tough on the digestive system
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
Oh the myths the newbies all have!
Last weekend I brought a cooked steak on a hike. The original protein bar.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
eat meat often. preferably oogly bits and not just lean muscle meat.
i always feel really good after i eat some and for many hours after. until it's time to have some more.
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.

Eh, whatever you feel like. We're not huge beef eaters in my house, I'd say we have it once or twice a week. But we're not hung up on it so once in a while it's more like four or five times a week. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you get some good fish in!
I actually had the same question. I'm recovering from cancer and the primal/paleo diet is my naturopathic doc's idea. So, far my research of this diet has been positive, but I'm concerned about the inflammation from eating meat. I'm just learning about this lifestyle and I'm sure in a year I'll be laughing at myself for being so concerned.
Meat will not cause inflammation. Seed products, like grains and grain based oils, or soy, will cause inflammation. As someone with an autoimmune disorder I can flare over trivial things, but I've never been bothered by a steak.
Tonight I took 3lbs of ground beef out of the freezer to make meatloaf tomorrow, plus 2lbs of stew beef for the slow cooker. Some of that might make it to Tuesday, but unlikely, and it's just myself to feed at the moment.

Our bodies crave real food. We remain hungry as long as we refuse to eat real food, no matter how much junk we stuff into our stomachs. ~J. Stanton
If you listen to your body after meals and especially the next day, you'll start to recognize different signs. For me, I always feel like Supergirl after eating Liver, Lamb, Cod and Eggs. I guess they are just foods that my body is happy with. I love bacon/pork, but pig products and chicken never make me feel that great the next day. At least I notice no kind of extra 'boost'.
Listen to your body after eating red meat and decide what messages it may be telling you.
Its been known for over a hundred years that meat is broken down by stomach acid and entirely digested in the stomach in about an hour. It doesn't make it to the small intestine. The myth that steak rots in your stomach is a piece of vegetarian propoganda.
A steak a day keeps the doctor away
eat all the fucking red meat you want motherfucker!

To use the vernacular, and forgive this, but..... That show was fucking awesome.
Check out my full review at Epinions.com
Or Nyralthotep will eat your face.
Now if only the wind would drop, and the tree branches would stop knock against the window I could get to sleep. Hang on there isn't a tree on this side of the house. hoj54 gbdf jk;a
In the CD cover you mentioned ~taking liberties, adding characters, and dramatizing things alluded to in the text~. I think the way you guys did it worked out really well, and that doing it the way you did was pretty much necessary for converting it to an audio drama. I particularly liked the bits of the disoriented Yithian waking up in Nathaniel's body, and the conversation between the restored Nathaniel and the Swedish librarian. The part where Nathaniel describes his decent into the ruins of Pnakotus was excellent, although even in HPL's text that part is never long enough for me and is my favorite part.
Anyway, thanks for making the audio drama of what is probably my favorite HPL story (among the top three anyway) :) I really enjoyed it and will definitely listen to it many many more times. Minus the first and last tracks, I could see occasionally putting this on before going to bed to see how it effects my dreams ;)
TSOOT is a really good piece of work! I was worried it might be corny, but I'm already four chapters through the six and totally absorbed. It's very professional -- BBC radio play standard -- and there's no higher compliment from a Brit. :) I listened to it by candlelight via my iPod's FM transmitter for extra atmosphere. Great stuff.
I'm going to buy my brother the 'Mountains of Madness' (with props) because we both loved the book when we first read it twenty odd years ago, and still do.
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work, I'll keep supporting it!
This latest audio play is, like its predecessors, and the subsequent Shadow Over Innsmouth, frankly a wonder to behold. The well-adapted, well-produced, nostalgic radio adaptation beats many professional audio plays for quality, and the humour and love shown in the whole package mark these works out as way above the average.
The quite unnecessary free documents and props that come with each CD are in some ways the best example of what I mean - there is no earthly reason why a customer would need such things with their CD, and the fact they are not needed makes them nothing but a bonus to fascinate and amuse. No mere scraps of paper, these are authentic-seeming oddments that speak of the sheer effort and dedication these people put in.
A must-have for fans of genre-audio, and fans of Lovecraft, and really... I have waited years and years for some decent radio adaptations of HP Lovecraft stories. All of these productions have been entirely worth the wait, and absolutely filled the gap that existed for so long.
More Please!
Hope you carry on providing the 'little extras' with the CD versions of these productions. The workmanship that goes into these is fantastic. Can't wait for Innsmouth.
Heaping amounts of praise aside, my only criticism whatsoever is that the recording of At the Mountains of Madness seems to be improperly balanced in so far as the left audio channel is favored more than the right during the scenes where the Antarctic crew of scientists are speaking over the radio. The main announcer is clearly balanced in both the left and right audio channels as well as the ads for fleur de lys cigarettes. I mention this only because I've listened to ATMOM on my iPhone (and at home on my stereo) but it's quite distracting to have one ear getting sound where the other is faint. As stated, this only seems to be an issue during the radio scenes for the anarctic crew. I have not experienced this as being an issue during any of the other radio plays.
Keep up the great work, I've loved both the Call of Cthulhu movie and the radio dramas put out by the HPLHS.
Second, I have purchased both prop and font discs for use in my Call of Cthulhu games, and find them absolutely invaluable. Handing a player a medical patient's file, or a passport, or a street car transfer from a suspect's pocket litter makes the immersive aspects of the game complete, and fun beyond compare. In fact, the perfection of your props have made me hope that you will follow up with a second, third and so on disc of props to make the game even more real. To that end, I am including a list of some of the props that I would have loved to have had in my own games. Perhaps someday the HPLHS will include them in a prop disc and make my own game complete.
Finally, keep up the good work, HPL would have been incredibly pleased with the work you are doing.
Bring on the Innsmouth! And whatever insanity awaits us around the next bend!
And now you must forgive me but it is time for a fleur de lys!
BTW - as an Aussie I was pleased with all your voice efforts for the antipodean characters although sometimes they tended towards a more New Zealand tone than ours but my own "urbanized" accent is anything but the broad "bush" tones most ppl associate with downunder and I wouldn't have a clue how they speak in Western Australia (we in the eastern states barely even think of them as part of Australia!) so I think you all did a magnificent job!!!
You're doing my absolute favourite HPL next so I can't wait till the next Dark Adventure comes my way! Thanks again!
The special download prop is AWESOME! It sucked up a good bit of ink on my Epson printer but thats just fine by me :P
These extra goodies are really a labor of love on the part of HPLHS and it shows in the quality and attention to detail.
Very nice stuff guys....
Im extremely impressed by the quality of work the HPLHS does. While Dunwich was my first audio foray into your productions, I had previously been familiar with the film work you did. I was presenting at a horror convention a few months back when a friend encouraged me to pick up The Call of Cthulhu, knowing my affinity for Lovecraft and stylized filmmaking
and it was an excellent suggestion. Yet again, a testament to quality production and great atmospheric storytelling. I eagerly anticipate the release of The Whisperer in the Darkness.
My only wish is that you keep bringing out episodes! :)
Great job again... And please pass on my complements to the team. Looking forward to the next installment.
I can't wait for The Shadow Over Innsmouth and I hope there will be future episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre from HPLHS, I'd love to hear more of Lovecrafts tales of cosmic horror adapted for radio.
Great job all round!
The story is expanded a bit, dramatizing parts that, in the original tale, were only alluded to. The voice actors are very convincing, the musical soundtrack is excellent, and the sound effects are truly startling. When the human minds in Yithian bodies communicate, the sound effects are disorienting and unsettling. The sounds of the Flying Polyps made my skin crawl.
Put simply, no Lovecraft collection is complete without the works of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, and this chilling audio drama is no exception.
Execution of the physical product is top-notch. Nice touch on using the glossy 'magazine page' stock, as well as the "Kulten" page stock. Oddly enough, I happen to own an old German book or two and your composition and layout is pleasingly similar. Clearly, you have done your homework. As you certainly always have done. And, I recognize that Voynich script! Ha ha!
Anyway, on to the _certain events_ : I open the CD case and find the address of the "Kulten" translation PDF. Downloading it, I'm thinking to myself, "Just the same page, in English? Not too (fictionally) realistic." I didn't even think that published English translations might exist - as obviously they _should_. If the Necronomicon has one, why shouldn't Kulten? Imagine my surprise when I open the PDF and see _photostats_ and a letter of provenance! Photostats! That's frickin' brilliant! I had to write immediately :)
Congratulations and thanks,
I thoroughly enjoyed "shadow out of time", which crystallized the evolving sound design and style y'all have been developing in "mountains" and "dunwich". Your Dunwich was very good, but the definitive version for me is the Ronald Coleman episode of "suspense", followed by the Atlanta Radio Theatre version(s). Yours bats cleanup, which was Reggie Jackson's job- so take that however you want. Conversely, I think your version of "Mountains" is the absolute standard against which other attempts at this story are to be judged. Primarily because of the great score and brilliant voice talent, you beat out the excellent ARTC version.
Which brings me to "Shadow", where the acting, FX, score, and sound design all combine beautifully. The writing is amazing, turning a twisted ganglion of ideas into a smoothly unfolding dramatic story. The actor playing Peasley was spot on, and I chuckled out loud when Dyer from "Mountains" joined the Miskatonic expedition to Austrailia. The sound design was superb- the flying polyps were actually scary as they travelled around the narrator. Overall- brilliant effort and keep em coming. A great stepping stone for the longtime fan to introduce new people to the world of H.P. Lovecraft.
I listened to the rest of it when I climbed into bed that night, earphones on, and honestly the whistling/screaming sounds made when Nathaniel is fleeing from the chambers under the earth in the Australian desert gave me chills... Amazing stuff and I think my favourite of the series so far.
Worth re-emphasizing is the fact that these stories do not contain sexual situations or blue language that may cause some to shy away from sharing them with either the older children or the grandparents.
One warning: May cause the mind to plunge into the deep voice of madness. Enjoy!
Eagerly awaiting the next show,
P.S. I also played a selection from SOOT for the students in my English classroom (I'm a teacher), and they had a great time listening. Got them reading several of the stories as well!
I think your programs are well-produced, and the soundtrack and sound effects are good as well. I have all three you've done so far, and I look forward to the next (which also happens to be one of my favorite stories), the Shadowsover Innsmouth.
My wife has listened to the Dunwich Horror, and she enjoyed it too.
I buy them electronically so I can put them on my iPod.
I guess the only thing that could make the radio programs even better is if you planned to do The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward someday. I know that would probably be a pretty long program though. Maybe a two parter?
Keep up the awesome work. I'm a big fan.

Thanks for those links! It's very useful to have them all together in one post!
Dont remember saying it was new news. I was just giving websites that had differnt options for those that wanted to customize there wii. I have known about these sites since original xbox, and have shoped a couple for xbox and psp, now that my warrenty is expired on my 360 ill be getting one for it as well as my wii.
The wii outselling the other consoles is old news too but nobdy gets tired of hearing about that.

The only problem with them is the skins are stickers.
If they were the plastic parts that you put on the outside of the Wii...I might have been interested.
Yeh, but wouldn't that void the warranty?
replacing/modding the case will void warranty... a skin wont you can put them on and off without touching the internals of the unit...
Thats why its two other websites on there that give you the option that you are looking for. Taking apart the wii is not as complicated as everyone thinks its actually the easiest of the whole lot. I also said there is a website that i lost that does have the ones that you click on over the wii. you will just have to google a little bit thats what i was doing when i ran into it.Originally Posted by MirakTheLa

City&Region news briefs
Police say man kicked door in, beat woman
Erie police have charged a man with breaking into an eastside residence and assaulting a woman early Thursday.
Jessie D. Weaver, 22, is accused of kicking in a door in the 300 block of East 25th Street at about 2 a.m., then beating a woman and slamming her head against a wall, police said.
Weaver was later apprehended by Millcreek Township police in the 3700 block of West Lake Road.
He was arraigned by Erie 2nd Ward District Judge Paul Urbaniak on charges of burglary, simple assault, trespass, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and harassment. He was placed in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond.
Trial ordered on charges kids left in car after stop
An Erie man accused of leaving two kids behind as he ran from a traffic stop in May 2011 has been ordered to stand trial in the case.
Dorian C. Buckner Jr., 28, was held for court on charges of endangering the welfare of children, driving under suspension, driving the wrong way, and leaving a child unattended in a vehicle. His preliminary hearing was Thursday before Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney.
Police accused Buckner of driving the wrong way on West 17th Street, and then fleeing from an officer who tried to stop him on May 16, 2011. Two young boys were left in the car, police said.
A woman who police said was the mother of the children testified Thursday that she loaned Buckner the car, but said her children were not in the car. An Erie police detective who chased Buckner said the two boys he found in the car were scared and crying, and said they didn't know where they were.
Buckner was picked up in the case earlier this month. He is free on bail.
2 Most Wanted fugitives caught in other states

Review Essay: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law
Fleur E. Johns
University of New South Wales, Faculty of Law
Leiden Journal of International Law, Vol. 16, p. 656-669, 2003
This essay reviews Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law by Karen Knop. In doing so, it undertakes an experiment in what Knop terms the practice of reading. This experiment involves reading Knop's book through Beyond Good and Evil: Prelude to a Philosophy of the Future by Friedrich Nietzsche. The staged encounter between these two books raises many questions, four of which are addressed here. These four questions revolve loosely around the relationship between diversity and self-determination in international law.

Yesterday, we posted NHL 36: Bachelor Pens Fan Edition.
7:00am — Get out of bed and boot up laptop on way out of bedroom to the bathroom. Shower, consider not shaving my legs for the playoffs since I can't grow a beard (thank God). Grab shaving gel. It's skirt weather.
7:15am — Brushing my teeth and start giggling spraying toothpaste on the mirror, thinking about the dream I had last season where Sidney Crosby cooked me mac and cheese.
7:20am — Pull up Tweet Deck, Facebook, NHL.com and my blog and start on my makeup at my desk.
7:45am — Still doing my makeup. 8:00 bus isn't happening. Keep responding to tweets.
8:02am — Pull all black and yellow or gold-ish colored business clothes I have out of my closet. Stare longingly at my James Neal jersey, day dream about James Neal running his fingers through his beautiful hair for a second -remember how dirty his hair is- put it back in my closet.
8:15am — Pour coffee into a Pens travel mug and run out the door.
9:13am — Walk into work, pull NHL.com up on my laptop on the second tab of my browser for when Pens Report will be up later in the morning.
10:27am — Randomly check tweets from Emptynetters and PensInsideScoop.
11:45am — Race across the street to the gym, hoping blue eyes with the ginger beard and Pens t-shirt is there. YES! The season of guys with beards is here!!!!
1:17pm — Head to cafeteria. Ginger beard guy walks in. HE WORKS HERE? Abandon salad bar, jump into deli line behind him. Try to think of something to say about the Pens and/or his glorious beard. Keep my mouth shut before I get sent to HR.
3:58pm — Get into it with the Rangers fan department head about Malkin's style of play.
6:21pm — Home. Change into yoga pants and Engelland shersey.
6:34-11:12pm Putz around the house, look at hockey gifs on psychotic Tumblr pages, dance around to Lil Wayne while I clean up my room before bed.
7:05am — Tweet from bed "It's a Great Day for Hockey!!!!! #LETSGOPENS"
7:11am — Contemplate not shaving my legs (again). Remember ginger beard works with me. Shave my legs. Black Pens hoodie for while sitting at my desk will have to count as "in dress code."
8:42am — Send all my Pens fan friends key mash texts.
10:29am — Bouncing around the office like a cheerleader on PCP. Listen to Mac Miller all morning. Fuck off, Philly. He's ours.
12:11pm — Watching Sid's goal against the Red Wings where Letang knocked him over on my phone on the elliptical, hoping hockey Gods will bring ginger beard by.
1:18-5:00pm — No idea what the hell is going on at work. Compulsively refreshing Pens website for updates and shopping online for gold high heels to wear to work throughout the playoffs. Watching the last minute of Game 7 2009 over and over on my phone. Wipe tears. I'll never NOT cry.
6:14pm — Run in the door, change into the last shirt I wore for a win. Refresh it with some body spray.
7:38pm — Face-off

This is what September baseball has amounted to for the Boston Red Sox: A Hall of Fame sportswriter is speculating that Terry Francona could lose his job if the team doesn't make the playoffs.
Peter Gammons weighed in on the subject today on The Dan Patrick Show, saying that "to some degree" he thinks Francona could be managing for his job.
"I think it's very strange to think that, but I've sensed an increasing disconnect between [general manager] Theo Epstein and Terry Francona," Gammons said, as highlighted by Comcast Sports New England.
The analysis is notable because of who's behind it. Gammons isn't Dan Shaughnessy, the rabble-rousing columnist. He isn't the peanut gallery on WEEI Radio. And he isn't a passionate, but unreasonable fan screaming on the Internet. He's a classy, straight shooter who doesn't typically stir the pot without a reason.
Fans -- MassLive commenters, particular -- have been screaming for Francona's head for weeks, but I had largely given him a pass on Boston's messy September.
After all, when a team is starting Kyle Weiland, Tim Wakefield, Andrew Miller and the Artist Formerly Known as John Lackey in the middle of a playoff race, there are major, major problems that are beyond his control.
Could he have pulled a few different strings? Sure. Let's be realistic, though: the holes in the rotation are big enough to drive a dump truck through, and they have a trickle-down effect on the bullpen (overworked), the lineup (pressing too much) and opponents (licking their chops waiting to face Boston's pitching).
For all those reasons, I found it surprising that Gammons sees Tito's jump on danger.
Whether Boston makes the postseason or not this year, put me in the group that is still thankful Francona is around. Like some other fans, I probably would have converted Alfredo Aceves into a starter this summer, but it's hard to overlook the calming influence he has had on the team in the past.
Compare that with Francona's comments Wednesday on WEEI's "The Big Show," though. He sounded irritated, frustrated and slightly panicked when discussing the team's recent struggles. He even complained about the media, which isn't common for him.
Free Terry, man. If he's forced to fall on a grenade to compensate for Boston's downfall, it will be a damn shame.

1936 The Ring Magazine Original Cover Art by C. R. Schaare Featuring Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $3,818.75
Original oil on board painting by C. R. Schaare used as the cover artwork for the May 1936 issue of The Ring magazine. The classic painting pictures two of the greatest heavyweight boxing champions of all time: Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey. Commissioned as an illustration for the magazine's lead story that month, "Louis or Dempsey - Who would have won?," the painting captures the two fighters as they stand toe to toe. Signed by the artist in the lower right. At the time of this painting Louis had won his first twenty-seven bouts and was considered invincible in the ring, thus the comparisons to Dempsey. Amazingly, just one month later Louis was upset by German boxer Max Schmeling. Louis eventually won the heavyweight title in 1937 and successfully defended it for eleven years, including a decisive victory in his rematch with Schmeling that same year. Joe Louis was a familiar cover subject for the magazine throughout his career. This is one of thirty-one The Ring magazine cover artworks featuring the legendary "Brown Bomber." C. R. Schaare was a very prominent magazine cover artist and book illustrator during the 1930s and 1940s and the in-house artist for The Ring magazine for many years. Still published today, The Ring magazine has long been the nation's number-one publication dedicated to the sport of boxing. Together with an original copy of the May 1936 issue of The Ring magazine (Vg-Ex) featuring this painting on the cover. The painting measures 22 x 28 inches and has been framed to slightly larger dimensions (23.5 x 29 inches). Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $3,818.75

The efficacy of sulfadiazine in the treatment of Shigella infections, where the organism is sensitive to sulfonamides, has been well established,1-3 and because of its relatively low toxicity and general availability it has appeared to be the drug of choice in shigellosis therapy.3 However, the problem of the development of sulfonamideresistant strains was recognized in these early reports and independently reported by others.4 In recent years several investigators have reported outbreaks in which resistant strains have either predominated or have been the only strains isolated.5-7 Hardy's report,3 however, is the only one which has come to our attention which demonstrated the development of resistant strains during an outbreak, with the subsequent spread of sulfonamide-resistant infections in the study population.

On Campus college notebook, Oct. 20
The issue of sport-related concussions will be the primary focus of a documentary screening and panel discussion at Edinboro University on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Edinboro and WQLN Public Media are collaborating to host the event, which will be held in Room 107A of Compton Hall on the Edinboro campus. The program will start with a screening of the Frontline/PBS documentary "League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis." The film examines research on football brain injuries and what many see as a health crisis that threatens both players and the long-term future of the sport.
WQLN president Tom New will introduce the documentary.
After the screening, a panel of experts and former players will discuss the documentary. WICU news anchor Mike Ruzzi will moderate the panel discussion. Panelists include Dr. Mark Hogue, a neuropsychologist and part owner of Northshore Psychological Associates and Northshore Neurosciences in Erie; George Roberts, a certified athletic trainer and retired Edinboro faculty member who currently serves as a member of the Pennsylvania Board of Medicine; and Charles Rush, a standout football player at Cathedral Prep and Penn State University who is now a law student at Villanova University.
Rush also spent a year as an intern with the labor operations department of the NFL's management council.
The event is free and open to the public.
- Clarion University graduate Kayla Shull is among a group of nine finalists for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Shull, who graduated in May, will be in attendance in Indianapolis today for the announcement.
Shull, a 2009 Rocky Grove graduate, excelled in the classroom and was a 15-time NCAA Division-II All-American swimmer. Shull graduated with a 4.0 GPA in speech pathology and audiology.
The nine finalists, three female student athletes from each of NCAA's divisions, were selected from the top 30 finalists that were announced Aug. 20. That group was picked among more than 450 nominees. The nine finalists were selected in recognition of their accomplishments in academics, athletics, community service and leadership.
The eight other finalists are: Elena Crosley (Bowdoin College, Division III), Elizabeth Duffy (Concordia-St. Paul, D-II), Karen Hatlen (Pacific Lutheran, D-III), Kelly Majam (Hawaii-Manoa, D-I), Alexandra Maseko (Seton Hall, D-I), Ifeatu Okafor (Texas Tech, D-I), Bridgett Soares (LIU-Post, D-II) and Lya Swaner (East Texas Baptist, D-III).
"This is so exciting -- I never expected to get this far," Shull said. "I'm so honored and excited to be a finalist for this award. We'll see what happens. None of this would be possible without the support of my family, coaches, the athletic administration and sports information."
"Kayla is truly deserving of this selection from the NCAA, " Clarion swimming coach Mark VanDyke said. "She epitomizes the true meaning of the term student-athlete and we have been privileged to have her at Clarion for four years. Her work in the pool was only exceeded by the work she put into her academics."
- General McLane grad Sarah Hansen already has had a record-setting basketball career at Florida Gulf Coast University, and coaches from the Atlantic Sun Conference expect Hansen to continue her success during her season.
Hansen was selected as the conference's preseason player of the year by both the coaches and the fans last week, and she was a unanimous pick for the Atlantic Sun preseason all-star team. Hansen was the conference's player of the year and scholar athlete of the year in 2012-13.
The 5-foot 10-inch guard is Florida Gulf Coast's all-time leader with 1,439 career points and ranks second with 644 career rebounds, just 14 behind the leader. She ranks among the top three in 15 statistical categories.
She averaged 16.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last season.
- Villa Maria graduate Kayla McBride already is an All-American basketball player at Notre Dame and a candidate to become a member of Team USA.
McBride also is making contributions off the court at Notre Dame. The senior will serve as vice president on Notre Dame's Student-Athlete Advisory Council.
"SAAC to me is just a group of student-athletes getting to know each other trying to make a difference on campus and in the community and just trying to have a voice," McBride said on the Notre Dame website. "I think sometimes we can get so individualized with our sports, but as a community we just want to make a difference around here."
SAAC groups exist at every college, giving schools and student-athletes opportunities to weigh in on NCAA legislation and initiatives.
"We just want to get our voices and ideas out there and let people know that we aren't just student-athletes, but we have other things to offer," McBride said. "We want to do things as a community. It's not just about basketball doing this or cross-country doing that, but it's about a collective voice."
