Screening Criteria
To succeed long-term, not only do you need a sound strategy, but you must also be able to follow the strategy throughout the market's emotional roller-coaster ride. Gut reactions, prevailing market beliefs, and conflicting views of market pundits are just some of the elements that put an emotional spin on the decision-making process.
David Dreman, chairman of Dreman Value Management, has long studied the psychological underpinnings of the overall stock market and its impact upon valuation levels. Instead of assuming a rational market as traditional academic studies do, Dreman sees stocks and markets driven by emotions that often push prices from their intrinsic value. Dreman feels that the best approach to beating the market is to follow the principles of contrarian investing.
Contrarian investing involves betting against the crowd by seeking stocks that are out of favor with the market, and avoiding the fashionable, high profile stocks that have been swept up in market euphoria. Eventually the market rediscovers the good qualities of the out-of-favor stocks and lets the high-fliers fall back to earth.
David Dreman is most associated with the contrarian investment style through his books, long-running Forbes column, and money management activities. We profiled the Dreman contrarian investment strategy in two AAII Journal articles in 1997 [July and October] and developed a contrarian stock screen for Stock Investor based primarily on the price-earnings ratio. David Dreman has now published a new book titled "Contrarian Investment Strategies: The Next Generation" (Simon and Schuster; 800/223-2336; www.simonsays.com), which expands upon the price-earnings strategy of previous editions and presents additional measures for identifying contrarian stocks.

Lawmakers weigh new rules on stun gunsVyto Starinskas / Staff File Photo
A police officer fires a Taser X26 stun gun while training at the Fair Haven Police Department in January 2006.
MONTPELIER Some Vermont law enforcement officers told a Senate panel Tuesday they favor legislation the House passed last month that would require new statewide standards on the use of stun guns by police.
But the mother of a man who died in 2012 after a Vermont State Police trooper shocked him with a stun gun told the Senate Government Operations Committee that the House bill does not go far enough in ensuring the devices are used properly.
Winooski Police Chief Steve McQueen said police are already trained to use different degrees of force depending on the circumstances. And when they do use force, he said, their response is thoroughly reviewed.
Trying to come up with a piece of legislation that says you will do A, B, and C under A, B, and C set of circumstances is extremely difficult to do, and I would discourage you from doing it, McQueen said.
I would encourage you to continue with what is in the House version of the bill, he said.
The House bill would require the Criminal Justice Training Council, which oversees the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford, to develop the new standards and implement them.
The Senate committee did not offer any amendments to the bill, but Sen. Jeanette White, D-Windham, the committee chairwoman, said the panel will resume the discussion next week.
Rhonda Taylor, whose son, Macadam Mason, died after he was shocked by the troopers stun gun, told the committee that thorough guidelines on when police can use such devices might have saved her sons life.
Among her suggestions were mental health training for police, regular police training in the use of stun guns and mandatory daily testing of the devices to ensure they are working properly.
The Taser that killed (him) with a shot to the chest would not have been fired at his chest and would have been tested before and after use, she told the committee.
The Vermont attorney generals office has investigated Masons death and ruled that the trooper used the stun gun properly. The officer had responded to a call that Mason, 39, was suicidal and shocked him with the stun gun when the unarmed Mason moved toward the trooper, authorities said. Mason later died of a heart attack.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

My DS and I nursed for the last time about 1 1/2 weeks ago. The transition went very smoothly for him since I waited until he was ready. We made it almost 17 months!
Anyway, I didn't experience much engorgement since we weaned slowly. We've been down to one feeding for about the last month or so. I had maybe 3 days of feeling engorged, and self-expressing was enough to relieve the pain. A couple days ago, my breasts started feeling generally sore (especially my left one--my over-producer). The soreness has since gone away, but now I feel a marble-sized lump on my left breast. Is this something I should be concerned with? I've been massaging it out, thinking it's a plugged duct, but I'm not completely sure.
Any ideas would be great since I'm a first-time mom and I don't have any long-time nursing resources close to me, so I don't know what's normal.

as much as i love Melo - no hom(el)o - the team moves the ball around much better when he's on the bench. when the Carmel is hitting, he still needs to be aware enough to pass the ball around and get everyone involved, because as soon as he STOPS hitting, that's when the Knicks start losing, as the team stagnates watching him in ISO. that translates over to a morbid defense. IMHFO.
Toney Douglass with his best game of season! the difference-maker. I remember calling him that the last 2 years. wtf happened? did some mustache-wearing a-hole steal his confidence?
Douglas earning a spot back in the rotation.
Great coaching job from Woodson this game. No Baron Davis in the 4th quarter, Fields and Novak on the floor, no easy layups (make them shoot free throws) and much better shot clock management. Great defense and rebounding by the team down the stretch.
if we can hold this mob under 80 that would be nice
I wonder if Orlandos head coach is named Patrick Ewing tomorrow.
I just wanna say one thing..

4-pound hairball removed from girl's stomach
19-year-old girl had habit of eating her hair in class
Published On: Oct 03 2012 09:04:07 AM CDT Updated On: Oct 03 2012 07:06:35 PM CDT
Doctors in India removed a four-pound hairball from the stomach of a 19-year-old girl.
The girl went to Maharaja Yeshwantrao Hospital in Indore, India, last month, complaining that she hadn't been able to eat or drink for a few days, the New York Daily News reported.
Upon examination, doctors found the huge hairball wedged between her stomach and small intestine.
Turns out, the girl had a habit of eating her hair and chalk in class.
Surgeons were able to remove the hairball, which was hard and caked in chalk, and the girl is now doing fine, NDTV reported.
No word on whether her parents have forced her to get a haircut.

Although this had been requested long ago (I gave one quick listen to the source I had and wrote it off as un-remasterable), this one goes out to fellow PhishThoughts reader and Georgia native "Leo Weaver" as a thank you for kindly hosting me at his abode for the recent Charlotte show. Road trips rule, even if you do get two speeding tickets within 24 hours and log 1,839 miles solo over five days.
Ok so we all know this Ghost is ridiculous. But don't overlook the bounty of other goodness in this show that concluded a ridiculous tour opening 3-night stand. Like the Julius opener, which is one of the best versions ever of that tune. Picture them dropping that opener note for note in 2011...heads would be exploding Lost Ark style. Ginseng Sullivan has extra meaning with the "north Georgia hills" line that gets the crowd going. SOAM is contained theme-wise but features a funky start to the jam which turns balls-out rock in a hurry. And don't miss the peak of Possum, with the fake-out peak followed by Trey employing that strobe-ish pedal until he nails the real peak and the place explodes (speaking of Possum, there are two pretty blatant skips in the source DAT, but don't let that deter you).
Won't even bother describing the Ghost, just crank it. Before now there was a "SBD" copy of the Ghost from one of the From The Archives broadcasts (which is part of my "tier 2" SBD compilation), but frankly it sounds awful. Don't know if it's a mix of FM frequency issues, overblown levels, bad transfer...but it's pretty harsh. Anyway after a cool-off Sample we get a YEM that turns extremely unique and Mule-ish toward the end - a mix of comedy and truly expert playing, with that trademark Phishy improvisation we all love. Adding to the unique vibe, they eschew the vocal jam and go right into a Rocky Mountain Way jam, which goes right into YET MORE uniqueness in Chalkdust. Trey has some fun with the verses, as he starts each line pair at normal singing and playing volume, fades down to near silence, then BAM back into the main riff (not unlike the quiet > loud part in Runaway Jim or the Antelope pre-drops of old).
As for the source - for a long time, just one source graced the database at the almighty Etree, and a second suddenly popped up recently. I went with the older Schoeps cmc641 source. Even though it has a couple glitches in the transfer, I prefer the sound of it over the newly circulated Neumann km140. I mentioned earlier that a while back I dismissed the Schoeps source in terms of remastering. I was wrong to do so. When played flat, I feel the mids are garbled, the highs are blunted, and the ultra-low of Fishman's kick drum was a bit too strong. After a healthy amount of EQ experimentation, I settled on the sound I think does the source the most justice. While it may not have the same thick warmth of low end it originally had, I feel it's important to be able to pick out Page's nimble synth work and Trey's funky, high pitch notes (especially that weird effect he uses at the end of that YEM jam). It was tough for me to do that with the unaltered source, but much easier now.
It may be frustrating not to be able to hear Mike's notes as well as with the current 2011 AUDs, but it's just a totally different PA system these days and a different approach from Paul to Garry at the mixing console. While one could make the argument that Paul's approach was more natural and aesthetically pleasing compared to Garry's more digital and sometimes abrasively loud approach, you can't really argue the fact that Mike is more audible (not just louder) now than ever before, and the mix these days hits you square in the face with tremendous force. Lastly regarding this recording, there is a remarkably low amount of nearby talkers in the recording which could either be a result of a high mic position or a more respectful, less mahled-out group of fans near the section as compared to some other stages of the band's history, or both. Anyway I hope you enjoy the result.
p.s. - I encourage peeps (especially those that were there) to post reviews of the shows to Phish.net. There are WAY too few accounts of older shows up there!

There's a cinema in my city that broadcasts from Covent Garden, but it's usually taped. I'm not sure they have La Donna del Lago on the list.
Sweet! Now I just have to get plane tickets... Btw, JDD has a solo song recital in Zurich on May 25.
PS. There are a couple cinemas nearby that show European operas and ballets, but the schedule hasn't been released for May and after yet.
Most, if not all, of the Juilliard streamed shows are posted to their YouTube channel. I don't know how long it will take for them to put up the video, but if I find it, I'll post.
In the Q&A she just mentioned figure skating in the context of competitive mindset and how it could apply to singing.
Have a wonderful time! She was incredible in the HD; in the house, it will be that much better
I managed to catch the second half of the masterclass (after the FD at Euros), but the internet connection at my hotel in Zagreb is so crappy... I would have loved to watch her interract with the students, they seemed to have so much fun! The only part that I could see without being frustrated by the continuous buffering was the final Q&A. She's so great to listen to - definitely not only at the opera!
I really hope the whole masterclass gets uploaded on YouTube.
About figure skating - I've heard her use this analogy before in interviews, and I think she's a FS fan! She mentioned how figure skaters take risks, that it's dangerous, but it's the only way ahead if you strive for perfection.
Oh, I had written my post before the HD broadcast... Would have given anything to see Maria Stuarda in the house, but helas, I live an ocean and half of Europe away from New York... Even watching the HD, though, was an incredible experience. It's going to stay with me for a long time.
I'm sorry, I read the dates wrong
I thought maybe you had traveled to NYC. The HD was fantastic. I hope they release this one on DVD.
They'd better!! Not releasing it is not an option.
No one will knock Carlo Maria Giulini off my opera conductor pedestal, but if there were a Barihunks site for conductors, this one would be featured:
NOT TO BE MISSED: Starting in a couple minutes: Renee Fleming & Susan Graham duo recital of French songs live from Carnegie Hall!
At 8pm PST tonight, (in 13 minutes), KDFC is broadcasting a performance of Joyce DiDonato and Nicole Cabell in "The Capulets and the Montagues."
How was it?
I knew about the radio broadcast, but it was way too early in the morning for me. My consolation will be "Drama Queens" live on Friday night in Paris (which unfortunately means no TV/live stream from 4CC for me this weekend, and no chance of seeing Tessa and Scott compete... I guess I can't have it all, can I?)
I tried to tune in, but couldn't get into it. Not sure if it was my audio or if I turned it on at the wrong moment. Or if I did not want to let go of the fantastic Fleming-Graham recital I attended earlier in the day
Btw, Drama Queens will be broadcast live from Brussels today at 20:00 local time (I assume 14:00 Eastern, 11:00 Pacific)
Oh, Susan Graham's famous cigarette moment! I read about it on Opera Swag's blog. (it wasn't actually lit, was it?!)
And I love Chants d'Auvergne! I have a collection sung by Veronique Gens.
Haha, of course it wasn't lit!

Dang, JDD didn't win jk I watched the live broadcast of these awards and I think most of the winners in the classical/opera categories skipped the awards. (It's OK, JDD should come back next season for her Drama Queens CD)
On a more relevant operatic note, this Friday is the opening night of Parsifal with a live online stream starting at 6pm EST http://www.metoperafamily.org/opera/parsifal-wagner-tickets.aspx
Saturday is the Rigoletto "in Vegas" Live in HD, but I will be in house for it. Woohoo! Also, trying to find a decent ticket for Monday night's Parsifal.
I still can't wrap my head around the idea of the "Rat Pack meets Verdi in Las Vegas", but I'm looking forward to hearing those great voices.
For those of us who have been waiting for it, Juilliard has posted JDD's master class on YouTube.
The work she did with the young mezzo on "Svegliatevi nel cor" is absolutely amazing. After she retires from the stage (in about 50 years or so) she should teach, she's brilliant at it.
I hope she doesn't wait "50 years" to start teaching! Wait, hold on, she pretty much teaches already, via her masterclasses, vlogs, blogs and general enthusiasm towards music and life Three cheers to (belated) birthday lady!
I had been stalking the Juiliiard site every day, including yesterday before they posted, and her it is! Thank you so much, IoanaC
When I heard the Q&A the first time, starting here and for about eight minutes, I was thinking about so many figure skaters:
She even mentions ice skaters around 21'21"!
She mentioned triple Salchows a number of times in vlogs and interviews =)
As if there weren't enough reasons to love her.
So... how about that "Las Vegas Rigoletto"? I wasn't thrilled with the idea initially, but it actually worked dramatically (except for maybe Gilda's impulsive gesture of sacrifice, which doesn't really fit in the 20th century mentality, but that's probably debatable). The set was effective in the final act especially. So, not only did I not mind the staging, but the singing was wonderful. Lucic and Damrau - fabulous, every one of their duets was gorgeous.
I was excited to see it and I was not disappointed. They did a great job of transferring the story to 1960s Las Vegas. Loved the use of the neon lights in the final scene. Loved the rat pack jackets. I want one! I thought the gal in pasties doing a pole dance was the only thing that was a little much.
I've not seen a Live in HD with Diana Damrau before. I knew she was good but I was really wowed with her singing. Wow.
For more Diana Damrau greatness (plus JDD and JDF), watch Le Comte Ory - Met, 2011. Absolutely brilliant singing and acting from all three of them.
This is just the finale, but you'll find it all on YouTube.
I've watched a couple of those clips from Le Comte Ory before, that's how I knew she was good! I love those!
I love that scene! That was the day that Juan Diego Florez was with his wife and newborn son until about 30 minutes before curtain time. He sang that performance on no sleep, just amazing.
I loved the Vegas Rigoletto. I thought the sets and costumes were brilliant, and I thought the pole dancer was fine: it was out of "The Sopranos" and was a recognizable cultural reference.
Gilda is a really tough character to have come across. One of the issues is that Damrau has a matronly figure -- she's got two small children, but she still looks young. It's a nice figure, but even in a time when women weren't expected to be stick figures, she didn't look 14 or 15, or, maybe more to the point, she looked like she was playing 21-22. Sometimes it's easier to accept a 45-year-old playing a 15-year-old: it's like the difference in plays between wearing character shoes, which translates into "Whatever they were wearing at the time," and shoes from the '70's in a play about the 20's.
I've read a lot of Mary Gordon, who went to all-girls' Catholic schools in the '50's and into the '60's, and she's spoken and written about the cult around Jesus, suffering, and sacrifice. She spoke about wearing rocks in her shoes, and the competition among the girls to be the best fiance of Christ. Not all of them would become nuns, but it was a thought they all tried on. Considering how tumultuous adolescence is with all of the raging hormones, and combine that with a smothering father whose narrative consists of "Your mother was a holy angel" blah, blah, who has his daughter chaperoned everywhere, and is trying to protect her from the big, bad world, the bottom line is that she has no one to ask about what's happening to her and can't even learn from watching. The nuns aren't going to tell her, the priest in confession is going to shut her down, her father blows a gasket every time he perceives a threat, and all she knows is what she's been taught in church (or, presumably, Catholic school, since it's the '60's), and since she hasn't chosen to be a rebel, all of her fervor and imagination is couched in religious terms. No wonder she conflates, "Jesus died for your sins" with "I'll die for the sleazy no-good bastard's sins, since he needs salvation." Plenty of grown women have made the same decision, although theirs is a slow, everyday death.
I hadn't noticed before that Monterone is more of a prophet than one who simply curses. In the beginning he says, "You who mock a father's suffering, I lay the father's curse on you," but at the end of the penultimate act, when he's brought past Gilda and Rigoletto, he says, "All of this was in vain: the Duke will avoid punishment and keep living and debauching." He' has two things to say, and he's right both times.
AG.. I don't have any suggestions but I did want to share an experience we had in Italy a few summers ago - I took my husband to a presentation of Great Opera Arias.. he really enjoyed it - likely the historic setting helped and the fact we were in Italy - but as an introduction for the world of opera it was a great first time.. (this is a guy that would be more comfortable going to a football game)..
oh...there I go being uncultured again...
One of the recurring locations in "The Sopranos" was the Bada Bing! club. From what I'd heard of "Rigoletto" in advance, I thought there were going to be dozens of strippers and their customers throughout the scene, but she was one lone, bored stripper.
Štefan Kocán looked fantastic in his two Sparafucile costumes. And Abs of Steele Beczala did his own little gymnastics riff on the pole.
Three words for those of you who didn't make it to Carnegie Hall for Radamisto today:
Luca Pisaroni - swoon!

hey folks,
I'm a dad who's the proud father of an (almost) 3 week old girl.
She hasn't been gaining weight though. Our pediatrician has been horribly unsupportive and not very helpful at all in figuring out ways we can get her to gain weight through breastfeeding only.
birth weight was 7lb 6oz
upon leaving hospital weight was 7lb 1oz
2 day dr. visit she was 7lb 2oz
2 week dr. visit she was 7lb 1oz
we have since bought a scale and she's been consistently 7lb 2 oz
She's been having plenty of regular stools and wet diapers, she usually seems satisfied after feeding and she's not showing any signs of dehydration.
Our doctor's negative rhetoric has shaken the fragile confidence that me and my wife had as first time parents. I don't think we're doing anything wrong, our baby seems happy and healthy just not growing.
The only other thing I could think was that my wife had low supply issues. so I made lactation cookies, we bought malta, fenugreek and mother's milk tea. still we're struggling.
any thoughts or advice?

Ten charged with dealing heroin and cocaine in Pike County
According to a criminal complaint charging Robert Koetzle, age 18, on December 5, 2013, Detectives and a confidential informant went to purchase 50 packets of suspected heroin from Patrick Sullivan and Koetzle for $600. The confidential informant told detectives he had just received a call from Jory, telling the informant that Koetzle planned to rip him off by taking the money and running out a back window into a car that would be waiting. While explaining what was happening, the confidential informant received a call from another person, wondering where they were because Koetzle had called him. The confidential informant relayed the information he had got from Joray and the other person offered to accompany the informant. Koetzle then called the informant where he again expressed his concerns.
Koetzle assured the informant he had his 50 packets, and was telling other people he was out. The confidential informant met with Koetzle and another person where Koetzle sold 30 bags of heroin for $300.
A criminal complaint charging George Earle, IV, age 24. Earle is accused of meeting with a confidential informant between December 2013 and January 2014 to deliver heroin and crack. On December 20, 2013, Earle, IV, met with a confidential informant and delivered 50 bags of heroin and 1.4 grams of crack cocaine for $ 800. The second delivery occurred on December 30, 2013, where Earle, IV, met with a confidential informant and sold 50 bags of heroin and .9 grams of crack for $600. On the third delivery, Earle, IV, delivered 11 bags of heroin to a confidential informant for $140 on January 6, 2014. On the last occasion, on January 9, 2014, Earle, and Koetzle met with a confidential informant and delivered 20 packets of heroin for $240.
According to a criminal complaint charging Emmett Pierson, age 62, law enforcement officers arrived at Pierson's residence to serve arrest warrants on Robert Koetzle and George Earle, IV, Pierson claimed he didn't know who Koetzle and Earle, IV were and that he was only watching the house.

While following Pierson into the residence, officers heard the toilet flushing and George Earle, IV was observed flushing items believed to be controlled substances. Koetzle was then located in a rear bathroom flushing items believed to be controlled substances down the toilet. It was later discovered the Koetzle rents a room from Pierson. Delivery of a controlled substance is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Fabrics 101: Satin
Welcome to fabrics 101. All this week, Henry is going to give us the scoop on the best fabrics in bridal wear. Today, we start with one of the most popular of all: satin.
Satin is a man made fabric, which either has a silk content or a non silk content. The beautiful thing about today's technology is that the new generation satins have a softer thinner texture which are silk-like at a fraction of the silk cost.
Michelle and I like to work with a non-silk blend as silk can catch and show flaws more easily than customized polyester. The three satin fabrics that we adore at the moment are:
1. Matte Sheen Satin – If you look at the style Kay (and 3-4 new styles in the pipeline) the fabric is treated in a special way according to our specifications that we call "matte sheen" – the fabric literally glows. When designing using this fabric we have used a lot of draping so that the draping is thinner so is less bulky.
2. Tissue Satin – This is even thinner than Matte Sheen Satin and the beautiful thing is that it drapes beautifully. It has been created specifically for outdoor and lighter weddings. Take a look at Horton/Helen which is light and airy and perfect for lighter weddings.
3. Traditional Satin – is slightly heavier and used by Michelle and I when we have more elaborate beading or more of a traditional style because the fabric lends itself to a kind of look when we want to achieve regal styles. Please take a look at Ivanka which gives an indication of a grander more 'established' fabric that is used for this kind of look.
A question I am often asked is: How do I know if the fabric is satin?
The tell-tale signs are that Satin has a smooth texture and is soft to the feel. It comes in various degrees of malleability and flexibility. Even the classic and heavier weight satin has a wonderful weight and flexibility.
Brides love satin gowns for the classic feel and look. Michelle and I love using new-generation satins which are cut in gorgeous contemporary shapes. We like to use them in our signature look that we call 'future vintage,' such as our gorgeous Georgina gown.
Who loves wearing satin?
Fabric is a really personal choice some choose because of the feel, some because of look and the sense of formality which comes with the use of satin which other fabrics can't give. Satin does not need to be over-embellished, it provides striking silhouettes without clutter and overworked design.
On Tuesday, we talk about Organza.
Until then,
Henry xo

Corporal A.S. Loudin honored as 2013 Champion for Children
Cpl. Andrew S. Loudin of the West Virginia State Police was honored as the 2013 Champion for Children Professional Award winner by the Randolph-Tucker Children's Advocacy Center Friday evening.
Loudin received the distinction for his commitment to prioritizing the protection, care and success of children, while still maintaining the integrity of families in Randolph and Tucker counties, officials said.
"Cpl. Loudin has an extraordinary talent to connect with young victims, making them comfortable enough to talk about something that would be unimaginable to most of us," said Sharon Bedford, executive director of the Randolph-Tucker County Children's Advocacy Center.
In her nomination of Loudin for this award, Peggy Johnson, director of the trauma-focused therapy unit at Youth Health Service, Inc., said, "Just one month after last year's Champion for Children celebration, Shannon Loudin was seriously wounded while working to carry out his mission of protecting children. While waiting to hear what would happen to our friend, our teammate, our hero, there were many tears and many, many prayers. And we were blessed! Not only did Shannon survive, he returned to this work. And not only did he return to this work, he did so with the same dedication, determination and commitment to the children that he has always fought so diligently to protect-the same laugh, same easy going manner, same unconditional acceptance of kids, helping them feel safe to tell their story."
Loudin attended Fairmont State College and has been a State Police officer since 2003. Prior to attending college, he owned his own construction company. Upon graduation from the Police Academy, he was stationed in Elkins until 2008 when he transferred to the Crimes Against Children Unit, in which he specializes in many different aspects of child abuse for 10 counties.
"I've always wanted to have the opportunity to make lives better for children and have been blessed to have my career path lead me to where I am today," Loudin said. "I try to surround myself with good people and rely on my faith to guide me through each day."
Loudin and his wife Sabrina have three daughters, Emma, 13, Abby, 9, and Mya, 2. They reside in Buckhannon.
Loudin said he accepts the award with mixed emotions.
"There are lots of good people that deserve this award," Loudin said. "I am humbled to have received this."
Other awards given to community partners at Friday's awards dinner include Carol Meader, Women's Aid in Crisis, Randolph County Family Resource Network and Tucker County Family Resource Network.
"It is so wonderful to have a sold-out event tonight," said Bedford. "It shows how much support we have from the community for the protection of our children."
The Elm Street Allycats and West Virginia Highland Dancers provided entertainment for the dinner, held at Saint Brendan Catholic Church. Additional information about the Randolph-Tucker Children's Advocacy Center is available by calling 304-630-2214.

Everyone loves a good courtroom scene. We get lots of dramatic speeches and over-acting and Jack Nicholson reminding us that we can in no way handle the truth. But more than that, these scenes ultimately lead to Lady Justice being served. The bad guys go to jail.
Unfortunately, much of the time justice gets served only because a screenwriter twisted the law beyond recognition.
5The Untouchables
The Crime: Murder, Assault, Bootlegging, basically being a Mob Boss and Tax Evasion
Also, jaywalking.
The Ruling: Guilty Because Your Lawyer Says So
Kevin Costner's Eliot Ness is determined to break the stranglehold that Al Capone has on Prohibition-era Chicago. He assembles an elite team of "untouchable" (i.e. not actually corrupt) cops, and after a couple dozen people are killed, they arrest Capone for the capital crime of tax evasion, which today can get you made secretary of the treasury. But anyway.
Look, Kevin Costner!
The Trial:
When Ness discovers mid-trial that the jury has been bribed, he confronts the judge, who is also in Capone's pocket, and threatens to expose him if he doesn't do something. Instead of declaring a mistrial, the judge switches the entire jury with the jury from the trial next door, after the trial has already begun.
In a moment of panic, Capone's lawyer changes the plea to guilty, and the courtroom erupts as though all crime has just been wiped off the face of the Earth.
Hooray! We're safe forever!
The Law:
Ever had to go in for jury duty? And the lengthy selection process? All that stuff happens for a reason. Juries are specially selected to avoid a conflict in the case being tried -- hell, Capone's second cousin could have been in the jury next door for all they knew. That's why a judge doesn't have the power to place a jury that the lawyers haven't selected or interviewed, let alone do so mid-trial.
But this point becomes moot minutes later, when, seeing that the evidence is stacked against them, Capone's lawyer switches his plea to guilty. The court erupts, cheering, while Capone punches out his lawyer and is then seen in the background being led off to jail screaming, "Is this justice?"
Well, no, actually.
This is Sean Connery.
The whole point of the scene seems to be that Capone's lawyer switches sides and pulls the rug out from under Capone. But in real life, a court can't accept a plea without a defendant's verbal consent, no matter what the lawyer suddenly announces.
"Oh, and that DUI I got charged with last week? He's pleading guilty to that, too."
The lawyer works for the accused, after all. Which means that instead of the court celebrating like they had all just won the lottery when they hear the guilty plea, Capone actually could have just fired his lawyer, had him killed (not necessarily in that order) and then stuck with his not-guilty plea and bribed the next jury, too.
4Primal Fear
The Crime: Murder
The Ruling: Not Guilty by Reason of Awesome Acting Abilities
In Primal Fear, Edward Norton viciously murders a priest, stabbing him 78 times and cutting off his fingers, and then runs away covered in his blood. Richard Gere is a Chicago defense attorney who goes apeshit over the awesomeness of this and takes Norton's case. They submit a plea of not guilty, but while investigating the case, Gere finds out that Norton totally did it, but he also appears to have multiple personalities, so he should be all set to go with an insanity plea.
Pleading insanity is the duct tape of legal defenses.
The only problem is that he isn't allowed to change the plea in the middle of the trial, which means his crazy, guilty client is going to be found just plain guilty, without the added fun and lenient sentencing that comes with the crazy part.
The Trial:
The only solution Gere can come up with is putting Norton, who is soft-spoken with a polite stutter, on the stand in his own defense. When the tough-talking female prosecutor lays into Norton about murdering the priest, his alternate violent personality comes out and Norton attacks her, proving he's crazy.
After Norton is arrested yet again, the judge calls both lawyers to her chambers to discuss the case. After Gere assures her that Norton is actually crazy, she decides to dismiss the jury, declare it a bench trial, find Norton not guilty by reason of insanity and remand him to a mental institution to decide how long he'll be committed. And then comes the twist ending ...
... In the final scene it is revealed that Norton was faking the whole time: There was no alternate personality and he is simply the world's greatest actor. The cold-blooded serial killer is his true personality, and the soft-spoken stutterer was all an act.
The best part is he can't be tried for the same murder twice (that'd be double jeopardy), so once he checks out clear at the mental institution, he'll be back on the street. Gere is both mortified by this and insanely jealous of Norton's acting ability since, unlike himself, Norton clearly has enough range to play characters who aren't lawyers.
The Law:
Psychology can be an inexact science, sure. But still they tend to, you know, actually have experts test people before declaring them insane. Instead of subjecting Norton to testing by any kind of court-appointed psychiatrist and waiting for a report from an actual expert, the judge just decides that "yeah, he seems pretty crazy" and sends him off to the loony bin with no questions asked.
Hugs all around!
And keep in mind, we as an audience have been seeing Norton's split personality emerge slowly throughout the film, and we know that he switches from mild-mannered kid to crazed sociopath. But the judge sees only one violent outburst in a courtroom from a defendant who is on trial for a vicious, bloody murder. Which is kind of what you'd expect to see.
And yet within moments, she has him declared not guilty by reason of insanity, partly because Gere assures her that Norton is indeed insane.
"Who in his right mind would do this? Not guilty!"
There was no reason for the judge not to wait for him to be tested to make her decision, just in case the guy's attorney might have been lying or even mistaken, since he's a lawyer, not a psychiatrist. Or she even could have declared a mistrial and allowed him to be tried again with an insanity plea to begin with, but apparently she's very busy, as she is seen going home immediately after making her decision. She doesn't have time for shit like this!

A military expert reveals how science fiction is fast becoming reality on the battlefield, changing not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and ethics that surround war itself.
Singer's previous books foretold the rise of private military contractors and the advent of child soldiers - predictions that have proved all too accurate. Now he explores the greatest revolution in military affairs since the atom bomb: robotic warfare.
We are now seeing a massive shift in military technology that threatens to make the stuff of I, Robot and The Terminator a reality. Over seven thousand robotic systems are now in Iraq; pilots in Nevada are remotely killing terrorists in Afghanistan; scientists are debating just how smart - and lethal - to make their current prototypes; and many renowned science fiction authors are secretly consulting for the Pentagon.
Blending historic evidence with interviews from the field, Singer vividly shows that as these technologies multiply, they will have profound effects on both the front lines and the politics back home. Replacing men with machines may save some lives but will lower morale and psychological barriers to killing. The "warrior ethos," which has long defined soldiers' identity, will erode, as will the laws of war that have governed military conflict for generations.
Paradoxically, the new technology will also bring war to our doorstep. As other nations and terrorist organizations obtain their own robotic weapons, the robot revolution could undermine America's military preeminence. While his analysis is unnerving, there's an irresistible gee-whiz quality to the innovations Singer uncovers.
©2009 P. W. Singer (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"This book is awesome." (Jon Stewart, The Daily Show)
"P. W. Singer has written what is likely to be the definitive work on this subject for some time…It is riveting and comprehensive, encompassing every aspect of the rise of military robotics, from the historical to the ethical." (Financial Times)
"Robotics promises to be the most comprehensive instrument of change in war since the introduction of gunpowder." (Publishers Weekly)
"Target Audience Acquired"
This book is remarkably comprehensive, yet manages to stay fresh and compelling. The author makes every attempt to capture realistic snapshots of today's modern military and then speculates a bit into the future. The author makes a rather impressive effort to sort out all the issues that you and I don???t have any time to sort out yet ourselves. You will be impressed by what is already out there. You'll be captivated by the new frontiers for tech . You'll realize how much you didn't know. The author shares all that he found in his epic project. The only drawback to the book is that it???s difficult to walk away from it having any sense of finality about it. Perhaps the book suffers only from the same paradox it uncovers???.that the jury is still out???.that all this great technological power has yet to be made into a coherent part of our civilization.
"Techno-Sprawl: A Dissenting Opinion"
I might have given this work four stars, if others hadn't. The author has done an enormous amount of valuable reporting and brought together a big picture of many critical technical issues affecting the future of war, focusing mainly but not exclusively on robotics. I share his pessimism about the trends, and appreciate his willingness to examine the moral issues from many different sides. His description of the "cubicle warriors" who now operated our growing drone fleets is very eye-opening. However, the book sprawls. Many sections might have been better at half the length. Some begin to sound like a laundry list of projects, machines, and acronyms. Themes repeat or overlap. No merciless editor sat at his elbow. For example, his analysis of how information technology allows generals to micromanage tactics at a distance is very interesting. But we get it. The section goes on, largely repeating the same idea and the word "micromanage" in various ways, while adding little. More seriously, I felt there was a missing level of analysis, though knowing little about the topic, I'm not sure what it is. There is, for example, little or nothing about the early use of computers and cybernetics, which become necessary for antiaircraft tracking. And little about the revolutionary effects of cell phones and laptops on guerilla war. Or on cyberwar, though that is perhaps a separate topic. The author is a war historian and journalist, and does not seem to be developing his ideas out of any underlying theory of technology or science. (American historians and journalists are largely trained to eschew "big theory.") I am not sure that he even clearly defines information theory, AI, and robotics as subsets of technology. One of the interesting scientific asides that never really goes anywhere is the battery as weak link, something every laptop user knows. He mentions it in the context of the Iraq War, but then does not really develop the implications. His coverage of media and "interface" technologies is weak. You can't do everything. But if human beings have a role in our new data-driven world, it really ought to be to reduce bins of information through critical abstraction, we need a few less colorful factoids and a little more theory.
"More and better than I bargained for"
Working for a robotic-oriented firm, and with peers moving into other robotic fields, I wanted to get at least a sense of the military aspect of robotics. Singer, however, gave me exactly what I wanted and so much more. The book is a history of robotics, technology in warfare, and military robotics. But it also delves into the legal, moral, and cultural issues around robotics and robotic warfare, and reveals the very real ties between the military and modern science fiction. The book is a view into our modern world, and into our future, in a surprising and compelling way. I was surprised by how avidly I wanted to listen to this book. I know I will listen again.
"Good book of fact sprinkled with left-wing opinion"
Mr. Singer's Wired for War is a great book, but was clearly written from a far left-wing point of view. He goes out of his way to demine Bush, pro-lifers, and people with a conservative leaning point of view. It is unnecessary and off putting. He also has the view that we must make our enemy's like and respect us. He did very good work and thorough research. Too bad he feels the need to needle half of the population while he did it.
"Informative and makes you think"
The book is informative, interesting and lays out the pros and cons of unmanned systems as well as the implications towards current and future conflicts.
New at audible....amazed by the possibilities to increase a lot the quantity of book I can touch!
This book is one of the most important book I ever finished. It is little old to talk about technology when I read, but it surpass its date and touch long in the future of humanity. It pins point all necessary discussion about Technology for War on Robotics, and amaze me with all sorts of conclusions and data.
"Robots for everyone."
It was very interesting and mind opening to think of where Robots and robotics will take us in the future, both in our private lives and in the Military and all the questions it will raise as to rights and wrongs as to their uses. It makes you look at things from a number of perspectives. I am looking forward to being around for part of it but wonder if I would like to be there for the rest.
"Excellent but already a little out of date"
This is an excellent and comprehensive book on robot technology for military applications. Covers all aspects of military robots, from the affect it has on individual soldiers to the concept of war in general. Excellent book but already a little out of date which is a testament to how quickly this technology is moving.
The narrator is OK but mispronounces some words, which is annoying but not a major problem. I feel that unless they really suck, all audio books should be read by their authors.
I didn't want to turn it off, it was interesting throughout.
"A fascinating look to the future."
Interesting view of the evolution of robotics and electronics.
From vacuum cleaner robots to IED demolition robots, from unmanned drones to totally unmanned warfare. Very thought provoking.
"We have met the enemy, and they is us!"
In many ways this book is very frightening. It is scary to know that a society that thinks of itself as being basically Christian spends so much of it's wealth on war. In an age where so much time and talk is given over to the question of "values," this book shines light on the fact that we, as a people, still do not have our basic human values in order. I believe that this book shows how we are desperately trying to win wars without having to bloody ourselves, and instead we are making it more gruesome, and someday the chickens will all come home to roost. Also, I believe that the author misappropriates the quote: "Hell is other people", to Nietzsche, rather than J.P. Sartre. Am I wrong? Perhaps they both said it at one time or another?

Quinnipiac Name Women's Captains
from press release
HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac women's lacrosse head coach Danie Caro has announced that seniors Devon Gibney (Hopkinton, Mass.) and Marissa Caroleo (North Babylon, N.Y.) will serve as captains for the 2011-12 season. Caroleo, the reigning 2011 Northeast Conference Player of the Year, and Gibney, the 2011 NEC Tournament MVP, will lead the Bobcats following the team's first-ever NEC Tournament Championship season in 2011.
"I am quite pleased to announce that Marissa Caroleo and Devon Gibney will serve as captains for the 2011-12 year," head coach Danie Caro said. "They are both excellent role models for their teammates, are committed to the betterment of the women's lacrosse program, and have embraced the high standards set by those that have served before them. I have no doubt they will do a great job this year."
Caroleo returns as one of the top-scoring threats in the NEC, as she led the league in goals (53), points (63) and points per game (2.94). Her goal total set a new program-high for single season goals, while she finished with the second-most single-season points in program history. On three separate occasions throughout the season, Caroleo scored a career-high six goals in a game, helping her to eclipse the 100 career-point mark. This feat was coincidentally accomplished during one of those six-goal performances, on April 17 against Long Island.
The North Babylon native had a fiery internal engine and a keen nose for the ball, finishing second on the team in draw controls (39), third in ground balls (37) and tied for third in caused turnovers (22).
"Marissa is more than just a successful lacrosse player," Caro said. "She is one of the most mentally tough players I have ever coached and she has innate understanding of the importance of 'the little things' that make a good team great. She is someone her teammates believe in, and I think she has the capacity to make her teammates better."
Gibney had another outstanding season for Quinnipiac, garnering All-NEC First-Team honors with Caroleo, compiling career-highs in points (53), assists (15), draw controls (47) and caused turnovers (23). Those same numbers had her ranked first on the team in draw controls, second on the team in goals and caused turnovers, third in points, and fourth in assists. Gibney was the first of the two captains to surpass the 100 career-point mark during the 2011 season, when she did so on April 1 against Sacred Heart during a two-assist performance.
"Devon is one of the best players we've had in the program, and she works extremely hard every day in practice, and her teammates respect that." Caro explained. "She is a fierce competitor who hates to lose, but more importantly, she has the ability to push everyone else to a higher level."
During the NEC Championship weekend, Gibney elevated her game to another level, scoring two goals and three assists during Quinnipiac's 18-9 Semifinals victory over Sacred Heart, before pouring on six goals and one assist in the Championship game against Mount St. Mary's. For her outstanding efforts, Gibney was honored as Quinnipiac's first-ever NEC Tournament MVP.
"I think we are very fortunate to have a strong group of veteran players returning this year, including five seniors, and five juniors. Every single one of them is a great leader by example, and my staff trusts that they will set the tone for the program as we prepare to defend our conference title," Caro said. "Everyone is really excited about the possibilities for the upcoming season, and they are all ready to work to achieve their goals. We couldn't ask for anything more from them."
The Bobcats prepare for the 2012 season with several fall contests, including a visit to Fairfield on Sunday, Oct. 16 when they play Fairfield, Sacred Heart and Central Connecticut, with competition beginning at 11:30 a.m. Quinnipiac plays again on Saturday, Oct. 22 when they host Sacred Heart at 1:30 p.m. and Holy Cross at 4 p.m. Quinnipiac hosts Manhattan and CW Post in its final fall competition on Saturday, Oct. 29, with game-time set for 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Gov. Terry Branstad is ordering flags to fly at half-staff next week to honor an Iowa soldier killed in Afghanistan.
Branstad has ordered all flags in the state to be flown at half-staff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to honor U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Steven Blass.
The 27-year-old from Estherville in northwest Iowa was among five crew members killed March 11 in a helicopter crash in Kandahar province. His funeral is scheduled Tuesday in the Estherville High School gym.
The Des Moines Register reports Blass was married and had a young son. Blass enlisted in the Army in 2006 and was on his second combat deployment.
Branstad's order applies to all state-owned flags and those in federal government buildings in Iowa.

LOOKING BACK: Biffle was livid after having to make an unscheduled pit stop for a loose wheel. His language got salty as he vented his frustration over the radio to his crew. "We were off a little bit, but we were definitely a top-10 car, probably a top-eight, especially with the way it ended up," Biffle said after calming down. "To finish where we did (16th) that really kind of takes us out of the title hunt."
ETC.: Biffle knows he needs a lot of luck to get back in the Chase for the Championship. "We would have to have a lot of help at Talladega and a few other tracks for us to leap-frog back in," said Biffle. "The difficult thing is that there are so many guys ahead of us. It's not like there are two or three we need to catch up to. That's a pretty tall order to beat all of those guys by six or eight positions seven races in a row. That's going to be pretty hard."
17 MATT KENSETH, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 12th, 72 points out of first place. Lost one spot last week.
TALLADEGA RECORD: Led a race-high 73 laps before finishing third in the spring race.
LOOKING AHEAD: Kenseth said, "For the first time in my career, I'm really looking forward to going to Talladega. "Our (restrictor) plate stuff has been extremely strong this year. We've led a lot of laps and were leading (late) at all three plate races. They all ended on a green-white-checker. The 16 (Greg Biffle) and my car have been really fast. We've been able to work together, stay up front the whole time in a plate race. Hopefully we can do that again."
LOOKING BACK: A broken track bar ended Kenseth's day at Dover and probably ended his hopes of a second Cup championship as he finished 35th. "In two of the three Chase races something either fell off or broke," he said. "Obviously, that's not good. Our performance hasn't been very good, either. Today was a struggle."
ETC.: Kenseth will drive a pink Ford Fusion this weekend at Talladega. The pink ride came about through a partnership of Roush Fenway Racing, Talladega Superspeedway and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. "We felt it was important to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness month," said track chairman Grant Lynch. "We reached out through our NASCAR channels to spread the word, and Matt's team jumped at the opportunity to help out."
18 KYLE BUSCH, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th.
TALLADEGA RECORD: Finished second in the spring race. Has one win and three top-10 finishes in 15 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch said, "Talladega is 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical, while most other non-restrictor-plate races are 80 percent physical and 20 percent mental. Once you get down into the nitty gritty of the race (at Talladega) and try to play the chess game at the end of the race, you've got to really pick and choose your spots and think all the time if you go here and team up with this guy. It really wears on you a little bit mentally."
LOOKING BACK: Busch must be wondering when his run of bad luck will end. He dominated the Dover race, leading four times for 302 laps. But he was forced to pit for fuel in the final 10 laps and ended the day in seventh place. "It's frustrating," said crew chief Dave Rogers. "There was no doubt that we had the fastest car today. But I knew if it came down to a fuel-mileage race (which it did) that we were going to be in trouble."
ETC.: Busch is signed through 2013, but the team hopes to sign him a new contract extension this winter. "We need to have it done sooner than later," said JGR President J.D. Gibbs. "I feel like he wants to stay, but he said he is no hurry to discuss (a new contract). Missing the Chase was a heartbreaker across the board for all of us."
99 CARL EDWARDS, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 14th, 34 points out of 13th place. Gained one spot last week.
TALLADEGA RECORD: Four top-10 finishes in 16 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards' winless streak has reached 62 races, but he believes this might be the weekend he returns to victory lane because of "how well Roush Fenway has run at the restrictor-plate races the last couple of years. Matt (Kenseth) won Daytona (in February) and almost won the first Talladega race. If we can get to the end without any trouble, we have as good a shot at winning as anybody."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards was all smiles after finishing fifth at Dover for only his third top-five finish of the season. "We didn't deserve to finish that far forward, but we had some lucky breaks and my guys did a good job on pit road," said Edwards. "We've run so well at Dover in the past, but I'd say today we should be very happy with a fifth-place finish. It seemed like a lot of us from Roush Fenway struggled."
ETC.: Roush Fenway Racing will hold its annual Fan Day on Oct. 11 at its Concord, N.C., complex. The event will kick off at 8 a.m., when tickets will be handed out for the two autograph sessions. The first autograph session will begin at 10:30 a.m. with Matt Kenseth, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Trevor Bayne and team owner Jack Roush signing. Edwards and Greg Biffle will sign for fans at noon.

New Peak Lodge opens todayDecember 27,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
The inside of Killington Ski Resort's newly reconstructed Peak Lodge is seen on the inside during its opening day Friday.Staff Report
KILLINGTON — Killington Ski Resort opened its new Peak Lodge to the public today.
The ski area held a preview Thursday for holders of season passes.
The 15,000-square-foot Peak Lodge has seating for up to 300 guests, a restaurant, a full-service bar and lounge areas with couches and coffee tables.
Situated atop the 4,100-foot Killington Peak, the lodge offers panoramic views of the Green Mountains, White Mountains and Adirondacks.
The original Peak Lodge was built in 1967 as the summit terminal, the largest support building for Killington's first gondola.
Plans for the new $7 million lodge began more than two years ago. The 1967 lodge was taken down during the summer of 2011.
The foundation, footings and bottom floor walls of the new building were completed in the fall of 2012.
The lodge was designed by Robert Carl Williams of Pittsfield, The general contractor was Engelberth Construction of Colchester.

Rental Registry ordinance proposed in Springfield
SPRINGFIELD Apartment owners will have to register with the town, if a new ordinance, which had its first review Monday night, goes through.
The proposed rental registry ordinance is designed to give Springfield fire officials a better idea of how many people live at a specific address, Town Manager Robert Forguites said during Mondays first reading.
The ordinance, which was first discussed last year in the wake of a violent shooting in downtown Springfield, would require people to register their apartments, or face fines. The registration would then trigger an inspection by local and state fire safety officials and require a certificate of fitness.
Coincidentally, there was a major apartment building fire in Springfield early Monday morning that left 17 people homeless.
Select Board member David Yesman, who is also a landlord with several apartments, questioned why, if the stated purpose was fire safety, apartments were being singled out under the proposed ordinance.
Large homes with a single person living there could pose similar problems for firefighters, he said.
Town Attorney Stephen Ankuda, who helped draft the ordinance along with Forguites and Select Board members Stephanie Gibson and Michael Knoras, said the current intent was fire safety.
Firefighters arrive at the scene of a large apartment building and dont know how many people live there or where in the house.
A family would know about how many family members lived there and where, Ankuda said.
At a large apartment building, cut up into smaller apartments, not everyone knows everyone who lives there and where, Ankuda said.
Ankuda said there were a lot of side benefits to the rental registry, and that protecting tenants was one of them.
Yesman said if the state fire protection crews started doing regular inspections, landlords could face expensive repairs or upgrades to their apartments, which wouldnt necessarily be a bad thing.
It wouldnt be a cheap apartment any more, said Yesman.
Town officials have long complained that Springfield shoulders an unfair share of subsidized or low-income housing in Windsor County, something they have made no secret they would like to see change.
How the ordinance would be publicized and enforced concerned Board Chairman Kristi Morris.
Bill Kearns, the towns zoning officer, suggested a notice go out in the tax bills, once the ordinance is adopted.
Under the ordinance, all apartments should be registered by the end of 2013, Kearns said.
Many of the apartments in town that are already subject to government inspection would be exempted from the ordinance, Kearns said.
But it is the private apartments that the town wants to learn about and establish a database, Kearns said.
Under the enforcement of the ordinance, any fine or repair order could be appealed to the town manager, and then it would head to court, Ankuda said.
A second reading of the proposed ordinance is slated for April 22, during the Select Boards second meeting in April.
