In this article we will take a look at what a mock up is good for. We will discuss the definition of usability, getting client sign off, streamlining the specification process, and improving client collaboration. We will then take a look at a list of some of the tools that are out there to use for creating a mock up, some more complex than others.
In the last article we discussed many aspects of what should be defined prior to creating a mock up. This
included the definition of product goals, client goals, design, and SEO. Obviously there are many other aspects
that one might want to define when working on a project that is not directly yours so that you might align
yourself with your clients. In our case we are mostly cloning an existing product which helps remove some, but
not all, of the prep work.
In this article we will take a look at what a mock up is good for. We will
discuss the definition of usability, getting client sign off, streamlining the specification process, and
improving client collaboration. We will then take a look at a list of some of the tools that are out there to
use for creating a mock up, some more complex than others. And finally we will discuss the usage of the latest
edition of Expression Blend 3 and SketchFlow.
Having discussed the various aspects of what should be done prior to sitting down to create a mock up, we can
now take a look at why a mock up is needed. I know many people that just hear about a project and sit down and
start coding away. These sorts of people are generally from the camp that believes that the app will need to be
rewritten at least 3 times any ways so why bother planning up front? While I agree that big design up front (BDUF) is generally a waste of time
with regards to 90% of software projects (as requirements change the second they are written down), I believe
that there should be at least some thought into the final product.
When it comes to creating something
for someone else it is very important that the person that has the vision and the person that is creating that
vision should have their minds aligned. This alignment process can most easily be performed by creating
something that both users can touch and play with until they come to a point where they both envision the same
product. A mock up can help you achieve this alignment.
The mock up process should generally first focus
on how things work, where buttons and links live, where important things should be, and then how things look.
The functionality of an application is more easily seen and agreed upon from many different people's points of
view. How things should look is generally more of a grey area when trying to make minds meet in the middle. The
concept of what looks good to one man is often totally different to someone else. And the polish of a button can
generally be worked on while someone is coding what sits behind that button. They can be created separate from
one another!
This then leaves us in a position to answer the details of "what is a mock up good for"
The simple idea behind usability is the concept of how user friendly your application is to the user of the
application. A long definition would come in the form defining other terms that make up what usability is.
Learnability: how easy is it for the first time user to get around and use your application for the first
time? Efficiency: how easy is it for a trained user to get around in your application and use it on a
regular basis? Memorability: how easy is your application to use for a user that has not been actively
involved in the use of your application? Errors: how many errors do your users make in the application
and how easy is it to recover from those errors? Satisfaction: how pleasant is it to use your
All of these concepts are very important to consider as you build out each feature. If a
feature is easy learn how to use but requires 5 steps when 2 would do then you have satisfied one aspect
(learnability) of usability but failed at another (satisfaction). All aspects are equally important!
does this relate to your mock up? By creating a fairly detailed mock up you can have a fully functioning,
navigable set of screens, that pretend to demonstrate how clicking on a button might feel, how moving from one
page to another might work, or how many steps it takes to complete a process. You can see how a forms layout
might make the collection of data easy or difficult. You can get a feeling for how many steps is enough in your
registration process. All of this can be determined in a mock up that doesn't cost nearly as much as the actual
coding of a working prototype!
You might have had the chance to work with a client or company that says "make me an ABC". Once you have
created that ABC, the client takes a look at what you created and promptly states, "but I asked you to make me an
XYZ!!" This type of scenario is easily addressed by creating a complex set of documentation, only communicating
by way of email, and all other forms of getting the requirements in writing. Or you can create a mock up that
demonstrates what you intend to make with some notes here and there and quickly collaborate to a state of
agreement. This working mock up can then act as a contract between you and the client.
This point is similar to the point made above but with a slight difference. This particular aspect is
addressed in the same way in that it allows you to side step an overly complex documentation process. This is
another reference to big design up front which we generally like to avoid when building software in that the
requirements for an application change as fast as they are written down. For applications that aren't too
complex, aren't for a financial industry, or for engineering purposes, we can usually substitute a working mock
up in place of a stack of paper documentation.
Trying to get your point across about how a certain feature works in the written word can at times be very
difficult when relaying the concepts to non-technical individuals. Often times you might supplement your written
requirements with drawings of what you are trying to explain. These drawings might come in the form of flow
charts, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, and many other ways of visually displaying an idea. You can
greatly simplify this process by removing these types of diagrams when from your clients view and instead create
a working mock up. When touching something it is much easier to see if the way it works is the way it is
supposed to work. Reading about a feature frequently does nothing for a non-technical person.
There are obviously many ways that one can create a mock up for you and your client to look over. I will
describe the various tools that I have used over the years in a semi chronological order. Oddly enough the tools
and techniques got better over time so our list will go from a sort of best to worst.
I know I know. This sounds lame. But you would be surprised to learn that a lot gets done on a pencil and
napkin. Don't over look this. While I would not want to commit to a project based on this form of a mock up, it
sure can get you business!
Back in the days of Visual Basic and VBA, Excel was (and still is) a powerful way to create working mock ups.
You can easily add bits of script to a button here or there to create a navigable working mock up. This is about
the extent of Excels benefit over the Napkin!
Power Point is chalk full of features that make the creation of a mock up fairly easy and functional. It is a
great way to knock something out quickly but lacks in manageability aspects for a larger and more complex mock
Given that Fireworks will actually let you build real web sites this is obviously a good and powerful
possibility with the capability to manage large and complex mock ups. However, what makes it good also tends to
be a drawback. You don't want your mock up to be so high fidelity that the viewer of the mock up will get hung up
on pixel placement and exact hex code values. I didn't use this for very long but thought it was worth an
honorable mention.
Photoshop is another neat tool to quickly toss together a mock up. The upside here is that you have total
control over the look and feel of your mock up. The downside is that you can't really create a navigable working
mock up. This means that people can see what the end product might look like but they can't see how the end
product might physically work. Also, this tool has a steep learning curve that is impenetrable to most
I have a high level of respect for this product and tend to use this more often than anything else. This
particular tool is absolutely wonderful in every way and I have no complaints at all. This was my primary tool
for creating mock ups.
Of course there are many other mock up tools out there. I found a list of seven other tools (which also
included Balsamiq Mockups as its favorite). These seven included Denim, Protoshare, The Pencil Project, Serena Prototype Composer,
Caretta GUI Design Studio v3, Templatr, and Balsamiq Mockups. This list and individual reviews are here.
If I enjoy Balsamiq Mockups so much then why did I choose to write about and use SketchFlow instead of
Balsamiq Mockups? The short story is simply that I watched this video and fell in love with SketchFlow
With this application you can quickly define the
sitemap of your site. That is, you can define each page and how it links from one page to the next. With this
foundation in place you can then define some rudimentary navigation aspects to start linking your pages in more
specific ways. Then comes the magic - you can hit F5 and launch a Silverlight application that contains your
working mock up.
Once you have navigation working you can then start to define each pages look and feel
(the wireframe). And at that point, to a large degree, you have a working mock up. Obviously you can add a lot
more detail into the mock up. Just make sure that you only add as much detail as required by your collaboration
In this article we took a look at what a mock up is good for. We then discussed the definition of usability,
getting client sign off, streamlining the specification process, and improving client collaboration. Next we
took a look at a list of some of the tools that are out there to use for creating a mock up, some more complex
than others. And finally we will discussed the usage of the latest edition of Expression Blend 3 and SketchFlow
and why it was chosen above all the others.
In the next article we will create our first SketchFlow
application. We will then dig through the current version of StackOverflow and document all of the important
aspects of that site (layout, navigation, workflow, and useability). We will then implement a working mock up
that directly resembles StackOverflow which you will be able to play with when you are done reading this.

BIO | Jimmie Crane — born Loreto Domenico Fraieli — was a true Providence citizen. Where else would a man run a jewelry business called Colonial Novelty to maintain a steady income amidst the choppy seas of the music industry? Not that things went so badly for Crane on the music front. His songs were done by top crooners like Bobby Vinton, Doris Day, and Nat "King" Cole. And like his fellow 2013 RIMHOF inductee, George M. Cohan, Crane wasn't afraid to paint his tunes in hues of bright red, white, and blue. One of his first breaks came from a number called "It's Great To Be an American."
FUN FACT | Crane's tune "Hurt" was a hit in three decades: the 1950s (Roy Hamilton), the 1960s (Timi Yuro), and the 1970s (Elvis Presley).
HIT PARADE | "If I Give My Heart To You," "I Need You Now"

Intuit Reports Higher Earnings
After the market close Wednesday, Intuit (INTU ) said third-quarter income from continuing operations (pro forma) increased to $220.3 million, or $1.05 a share, from $150.5 million, or 69 cents a share, a year earlier. The pro forma EPS beat a lowered consensus estimate of $1.01. Revenue in the quarter was $634.7 million, up 29% from a year ago and slightly higher than analysts' lowered projection, driven primarily by strong gains in Intuit's TurboTax business. For the fourth quarter, Intuit says it sees revenue of $240 million to $250 million, or year-over-year growth of 28% to 34%, and a pro forma net loss per share of 6 cents to 9 cents.
Applied Materials (AMAT ) shares fell after the chip-equipment maker posted a 4-cent second-quarter loss per share, vs. 3 cents earnings per share a year ago, on 4% lower revenue. The company reportedly sees 3 cents to 4 cents for third-quarter EPS. BoA says the outlook is disappointing, and expects the stock to trade in the $10 to $15 range in the near term.
Network Appliance (NTAP ) posted 7 cents, vs. 4 cents, fourth-quarter earnings per share (pro forma) on an 18% revenue rise. The company posted 7 cents vs. 2 cents fourth-quarter earnings per share on a GAAP basis. It also set a $150 million stock buyback. The shares fell on the news. S&P downgraded the shares.
Motorola (MOT ) shares rose as the company reportedly reiterates its second-quarter outlook of 1 cent to 3 cents in EPS on $6.4 billion to $6.6 billion in sales in a quarterly report filed yesterday.
Tiffany & Co. (TIF ) shares jumped after the company posted 24 cents, vs. 22 cents, first-quarter earnings per share on a 14% sales rise (a 10% rise on constant exchange rate). The luxury goods retailer sees low-teens percentage increase in fiscal 2004 net sales and says it will meet its EPS forecast of $1.33 to $1.38.
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF ) shares fell after the apparel retailer posted 26 cents, vs. 23 cents, first-quarter earnings per share on an 11% sales rise. The retailer posted 6% lower first-quarter same-store sales. S&P reiterates hold, while USB Piper downgrades the stock to outperform from strong buy.
Williams Cos. (WMB ) shares rose after Prudential upgrades to buy from hold. Yesterday the company posted first-quarter EPS of 4 cents.
Gateway (GTW ) shares fell after the company reportedly says the U.S. Attorney's office recently began preliminary inquiry relating to its 2000 financial results.
J2 Global Communications (JCOM ) shares jumped after it announced that its eFax subscription services will be made available via the upcoming Microsoft (MSFT ) Office 2003 Editions.
Merrill Lynch downgraded Rite Aid (RAD ) to hold from buy.
Duane Reade (DRD ) shares fell after the company says if New York State legislation is enacted, its 2003 EPS could be adversely impacted by about 7 cents to 12 cents per share, excluding the impact of any retroactive provision that may apply.
Millennium Pharmaceuticals (MLNM ) shares rose after the FDA approved Veldase for injection for relapsed, refractory multiple myelonoma. The company notes this treatment is the first FDA approved proteasome inhibitor.
Citigroup upgrades Juniper Networks (JNPR ) and Enterasys Networks (ETS ) to outperform from in-line. Citigroup also upgrades the telecommunications-equipment sector to marketweight from underweight.
Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA ) shares rose after a court rules in favor of the company and co-plaintiffs in their patent infringement suit filed against Eli Lilly (LLY ) alleging infringement of a U.S. patent covering methods of treating human disease by regulating NF-B cell signaling activity.
Federated Department Stores (FD ) posts first-quarter EPS of 24 cents, vs. 43 cents a year ago, on 5% lower same-store sales and 4.7% lower total sales. The department store chain says second-quarter sales will be difficult. It sees second-quarter EPS of 50 cents to 55 cents (including $10 million to $15 million store closing costs) and 2% to 3% lower same-store sales.
Computer Sciences (CSC ) posted 95 cents, vs. 82 cents, fourth-quarter earnings per share from operations on a 1.4% revenue rise. The company sees 52 cents first-quarter earnings per share on 25% revenue growth and $2.78 to $2.88 fiscal 2004 earnings per share on $14.3 billion to $14.7 billion in revenue.
Hartford Financial Services (HIG ) posted a $4.46 first-quarter loss per share (including a $2.5 billion increase in asbestos reserves) vs. $1.17 EPS.

As stated when I began this blog, this space is my laboratory, the place in which I, as an "otter of the universe," as a "pure research man," follow my fascinations, peer into boxes that intrigue me, and step down paths that call to me, following whatever fairy is singing, or whatever distant tower gleams in the morning sun. I am, as I have also said before, both by intention and proclivity, a mosaicist, a bricoleur, a term for which I thank Daniel Quinn. I gather pieces together – found widgets, flotsam and jetsam, radar tracings, unidentified fascinating objects, and hailstones left behind by brainstorms – and weave them together, searching for meaning and guidance as though I were pawing through entrails or casting bones. I do this mostly because it grounds, guides, goads, and delights me, but also because I believe, or trust, or hope, that my doing so will help my tribe. I do this as a means of transcending and augmenting my analytical, rational, scientific mind. I do this because it feels like the path I must take to becoming someone I can only now vaguely imagine. And I do this because, in this time and on this planet, when the world shakes underfoot and all that I thought I knew has fallen into bankruptcy and disrepute, it feels right and useful, to me, to do something else.
One thing I try to intentionally interrupt is my White Guy™ need or training to "sew it all up." My days of pretending that I can wrap it all tightly with a bow, that I can present the unassailable case, that I can know and teach and be Right™, have largely ended, crossed off my life's calendar with a thick permanent marker. I go slowly here. I leave loose ends dangling. I stop before I am finished because I no longer think there is a finished. I make connections, proffer suggestions, raise questions, and log reactions. I let things slide and ride and glide, leaving them to sit on my lab tables and gather dust when something else arises to demand my attention. As an otter, I'm more interested in slipping playfully down the river than in stopping on the shore to build an edifice. As a pure research man, I allow myself to walk without knowing where I am headed. My intention, simply, is to notice what I am noticing, feel what I am feeling, think what I am thinking, and speak what is in my mouth to speak, trusting that, as I move through time, my weaving will form a fabric of some sort, that the bits of broken tile will one day form the picture of my being here.
My intention this morning is to continue my exploration of "ranting and raging," but only by adding more bits for the bricolage, bits only to be gathered together and pondered, with no hope for resolution, whatever that is.
-It has been notable to me, to see how many, in response to my recent explorations, have felt the need to defend the rightfulness or utility of "ranting and raging," as though I were questioning their right to be angry, or to express their anger.
-It has also been interesting, as I've walked the streets of Facebook City and ventured weekly into Blogland, how peoples' responses fall into predictable categories, and how I react to those responses. I find myself largely disinterested in anything that feels like a) advice, b) cheering up, or c) sympathy. Responses that fall into these categories tend to confuse me. I do find, however, that I'm really digging responses that fall into a fourth category: empathy and resonance.
-There are a few people I bump into regularly in Facebook City who seem to be always cussing and judging, muttering complaint, displeasure, or anger in short and sometimes indecipherable bursts. I find myself walking away from these people as quickly as I can.
-This came across my radar this week and has stuck to the glass:
The Holy Longing by Goethe
Tell a wise person or else keep silent
For the massman will mock it right away.
I praise what is truly alive
And what longs to be burned to death.
In the calm waters of the love nights
Where you were begotten,
Where you have begotten,
A strange feeling comes over you
When you see the silent candle burning.
Now you are no longer caught in this obsession with darkness
And a desire for higher lovemaking sweeps you upward.
Distance does not make you falter.
And now, arriving in magic, flying
and finally, insane for the light
You are the butterfly.
And you are gone.
And so long as you haven't experienced this,
To die and so to grow,
You are only a troubled guest on a dark earth.
-This also came across my radar, and resonates deeply:
There is Nothing Wrong by Jeff Foster
Sadness is not wrong. Fear is not wrong.
Confusion is not wrong.
Our pain is not wrong.
Resisting our pain is what makes everything seem wrong.
And yet here is a deeper truth, for those who are open:
Even our resistance of pain is not wrong.
If that's what's happening, it cannot be wrong.
It is a valid expression of life in the moment.
Beyond 'right' and 'wrong'.
This love even embraces resistance.
This Now is vast, and forgiving.
Yet even 'resistance' is just another concept.
Another judgement.
Another way to make ourselves wrong.
"Resistance bad. Acceptance good." That's what we learn.
It's not that we "resist" our pain.
We just never learned how to be with it.
How to sit with it. Stay with it. Have a cup of tea with it.
See it as a beloved friend, at home in the vastness.
Our ignorance is our innocence.
We just never learned.
Our pain is not wrong.
It is an invitation.
An ancient teaching.
Universal. Free.
Life invites us to come closer…
Falling through imagined layers…
Into great mystery…
-This feels like an important piece, a poster taped to a wall in Facebook City, attributed to Courtney A. Walsh:
"Dear Human: You've got it all wrong. You didn't come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you'll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of … messing up. Often. You didn't come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering."
-And this Eckhart Tolle quote feels important to hold: "Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath."
-As does this article about Sinead O'Connor and the Magdalene laundry.
-And this graphic:
Enough. Flotsam and jetsam. Bric-a-brac and bricolage. Widgets and tracings and hailstones. Perhaps one day the picture will emerge. For now, the sun shines. The crow calls. And I've a trip to the post office to make.
Pax, all,

|The aim of the study was to develop and validate a QD-nanoprobe for the detection of CK19 protein for in vivo colorectal cancer molecular targeting. QDs with a maximum emission wavelength of 655 nm, were coated with streptavidin and functionalized with the biotinylated-CK19-antibody. In vitro binding affinity of these nanoprobes was evaluated in a panel of cell lines and clinical samples. For in vivo experiments, male NOD/SCID mice were used. Animals were injected with DLD-1 colorectal cancer cell. Upon reaching a tumor size of approximately 0.8 to 1 cm, were administered an into the tail vein injection of 10 pmol QD nanoparticles and CK19-QD nanoprobes and imaged at various time points. In vivo optical imaging was done using the IVIS imaging system 50 series. CK19-QD showed CK19-specific binding in vitro. Animals were euthanized after the injection of QD and CK19-QD. At the 3h time point, CK19-QD nanoprobes showed more prominent fluorescence when compared with QD nanoparticles. At 24h, both QD and CK19-QD fluorescence decreased to near-baseline levels. CK19-QD probes have good optical properties and biocompatibility for in vivo targeted imaging of colorectal cancer. Such approach promises to be highly desirable for molecular targeted research of gastrointestinal cancer.

After clinching the three-match Twenty20 series, Pakistan would aim for a clean sweep in the third and final match against Australia in Dubai on Monday.
Australia won't be taking the field considering the match as a dead rubber encounter. Going into this series, Australia were never the favourites, but they had a great opportunity to redeem their reputation in this format. The Aussies had a poor outing in the first match, but in the second one they were touch unlucky by losing in the one-over eliminator.
The visiting team after suffering the big loss in the first T20 pulled back things and improved their performance as a team. Openers David Warner and Shane Watson got the starts and failed to make it big, but skipper George Bailey was a revelation with the bat by tying the match.
It's spin bowling which is giving the Australian batsmen a hard time, but they are not able to take a cue from that and playing a lone spinner in the form of Brad Hogg. On the other hand, Pakistan are consistent by fielding three spinners - Saeed Ajmal, Raza Hasan and Mohammad Hafeez.
The Australian team management might tinker with the combination for the third match and might include Xavier Doherty in place of Daniel Christian, who's being wasted down the order. Moreover, they can also afford to rest one of the pacers, either Mitchell Starc or Pat Cummins keeping in mind the upcoming ICC World Twenty20 next month.
After winning the series, Pakistan are in the driver's seat and would take the field with nothing to lose attitude. Captain Mohammad Hafeez would be a happy man by seeing his team peaking at the right time, just prior to the T20 extravaganza. Moreover, as a team they are clicking in every department, be it batting and bowling.
The Pakistan team is a mix of youth and experience with the presence of veterans Abdur Razzaq, Akmal and Shahid Afridi. Meanwhile, Nashir Jamshed and left-arm spinner Hasan are the finds of this ongoing series. In the pace bowling department, Umal Gul and Sohail Tanvir have proved to be the exploits of this shorter format.
It is very unlikely of Afridi playing due to the finger injury and Pakistan would not like to risk him in this inconsequential match, but also would not like to make too many changes.
Probable XIs:
Pakistan: 1 Mohammad Hafeez (capt), 2 Imran Nazir/Nasir Jamshed, 3 Asad Shafiq, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Umar Akmal, 6 Raza Hasan, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Abdur Razzaq, 9 Saeed Ajmal, 10 Umar Gul, 11 Sohail Tanvir
Australia: 1 Shane Watson, 2 David Warner, 3 George Bailey (capt), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 David Hussey, 6 Mathew Wade (wk), 7 Glenn Maxwell, 8 Daniel Christian/Xavier Doherty, 9 Brad Hogg, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11 Pat Cummins/Ben Hilfenaus

The 10th annual "Big Dog" scramble was also held at the outing. The "Big Dog" format featured 18 holes of golf at Katke Golf Course followed by another 18 holes at the prestigious Tullymore Golf Course in Stanwood, Mich.
The "Players Cup" was a new addition to the golf outing this year for former Bulldog players and coaches only. Each four-member team was comprised of current or former Ferris players and/or coaches only with the winner receiving the traveling trophy along with great prizes and bragging rights for a full year.
The FSU football program is working on developing the membership of the Bulldog Players Association and needs assistance in locating and updating information about former Ferris gridiron players. Please contact assistant coach Tony Rosso at (231) 591-2858 or via e-mail at email@example.com for more information regarding the Bulldog Players Association.

The Grand Seduction Parent Review
A Canadian made film, with a largely Canadian cast, "The Grand Seduction" provides a unique slice of life sure to entertain all, and make most Canadians proud.
Movie Review
For hundreds of years Newfoundland had a proud history of fishing, where men worked long hours braving the sea to provide for their families. Now the small harbor of Tickle Head, like many other ports in Atlantic Canada, is just a collection of former fishermen thrown out of work due to cod population depletions and a government imposed harvesting moratorium. The only thing the men reel in these days is their welfare checks.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
But there is the possibility of hope on the horizon. The town council has been negotiating with an oil company looking for a place to build a petro-chemical recycling plant. The factory would bring jobs to the long-timers who are unwilling to move away from their multigenerational home to look for other work. Unfortunately, the company's insurance insists the community selected has a resident doctor—which of course the isolated village is lacking. When Murray French (Brendan Gleeson) learns of this requirement, the local with questionable ethics determines to do whatever it takes (beg, bribe, and lie if need be) to woo a physician and tickle him pink at the prospect of living in Tickle Head.
The most promising (and only) candidate is Dr. Paul Lewis (Taylor Kitsch), a plastic surgeon who has agreed to work for one month in the remote hamlet rather than face charges for the possession of cocaine. Happily overlooking the drug incident, Murray and his buddy Simon (Gordon Pinsent) rally the rest of the village into participating in a scheme to seduce the man of medicine. First they set out to put the best possible face on their dilapidated dwellings (this entails a large litter pick-up and a lot of whitewash). When they learn Paul is an avid cricket fan, they pretend to be passionate about the sport and even assemble something that looks like a team (uniforms are sewn from tablecloths and bedspreads, while a couple of oars are cut down to make bats). As well, Murray asks the pretty, single woman running the Post Office (Liane Balaban) to adopted a flirtatious manner with the gentleman. And, to hedge their bet, they secretly tap into Paul's telephone line so they can listen to his conversations with his fiancée and adjust their strategy as needed.
Comedy ensues as the townsfolk attempt to maintain the deception and the city-bred Paul tries to adapt to his rural surroundings (with all the grace of a fish-out-of-water). Without a doubt, the antics will keep the audience laughing even when the storyline touches on more serious themes like the plight of unemployment, the challenges of attracting essential services to small communities and the emotional pull between tradition and progress.
A Canadian made film, with a largely Canadian cast, The Grand Seduction provides a unique slice of life sure to entertain all, and make most Canadians proud. The rugged scenery and Gordon Pinsent's character are especially authentic, creating a movie both quaint and charming. The biggest disappointments with the screenplay are the sexual dialogue, profanities and depictions of drinking. Still, for teens and adults who are willing to overlook these inclusions, plus the dishonest means the characters used to justify the ends, this Newfie tale will offer a whole new definition to the idea of civic responsibility. Capturing the tenacity of the human spirit, the film will likely to seduce its viewers too.Directed by Don McKellar. Starring Brendan Gleeson, Taylor Kitsch, Liane Balaban. Running time: 115 minutes. Theatrical release May 30, 2014. Updated May 23, 2016

Getting a doctor to commit to setting up practice in a small town can be a big job. Here is the pitch used by medicaljobs.org.
Why is Murray not opposed to lying in order to secure a doctor for the town? Do you feel he is justified in doing so? What bigger consequences do the little fibs have over time? Was there any other way the town might have gone about attracting a physician to their community?
Why is Murray's wife willing to leave home to get a job? Why are the other residents not willing to do the same? What does her choice of employment say about her work ethic? Are the other locals of Tickle Head content just collecting welfare?

Texas Sculpture Symposium
Starting in the mid-1970s a number of Texas sculptors began to congregate in various academic settings to talk about sculpture on a regular basis. By 1987 the Texas Sculpture Symposium had been held in Houston, San Marcos, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. What began as a simple desire for sculptors to get together and exchange ideas had developed into a financially and communally supported event with speakers from inside and outside the Texas borders. Sculpture was exhibited throughout the cities in numerous venues. It was a decade of excitement and camaraderie among artists.
Having participated in five of the six Texas Sculpture Symposia of the 1980s, Sara Waters, professor of sculpture in the TTU School of Art, had long wanted to revive the Texas Sculpture Symposium as a forum for the sculpture community of Texas to exchange ideas and develop collaborations. The 2004 Texas Sculpture Symposium, technically the 7th Texas Sculpture Symposium was presented on the TTU Junction Center Campus, organized by Waters, working with William Cannings, associate professor of sculpture at Texas Tech and the office of Landmark Arts in the School of Art.
The Symposium resulted in the forming of The Sculpture Network of Texas.
The Symposium has been presented annually since 2004. On even numbered years, the Sculpture area presents the Symposium at the Junction campus in collaboration with The Sculpture Network of Texas. On odd numbered years, other Texas venues are used as the site of the Symposium.

"To do his tax plan, and balance the budget, and protect the defense budget, is going to be very difficult," added Josh Gordon, policy director at the Concord Coalition, a group that promotes fiscal discipline. "You would need annual spending cuts that would be about the size of the cuts the (congressional) supercommittee failed to accomplish over 10 years."

The mediotemporal lobe (MTL) is a concept rather than a defined brain structure. It includes the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the entorhinal and perirhinal cortices - all structures within the medial area of the temporal lobe.The temporal lobe is in general primarily concerned with sensory experience - specifically, with hearing, and with the integration of information from multiple senses. Part of the temporal lobe also plays a role in memory processing. It is situated below the frontal and parietal lobes, and above the hindbrain.
Originally conceived as an integrated memory system with a common function, this view of the MTL has recently been questioned. For one thing, the region didn't evolve as one unit — the different regions arose at different times during primate evolution. Therefore, can it really be an integrated system with a common function? Work with rhesus monkeys suggests rather that these different parts may serve cooperative and even competitive functions.
This question, however, is really one for the specialist. As far as most of us are concerned, the concept of a "mediotemporal lobe" serves as a handy label for a group of connected brain structures that are all absolutely crucial for learning and memory (and reminds us of the location of these structures).
It should also be remembered that brain structures are notoriously "fuzzy" — different researchers will use different names, and group different structures. For example, one report has contrasted the functions of the MTL with that of the basal ganglia, although the amygdala is a member of both. Other studies talk of the hippocampus AND the dentate gyrus, although others put the dentate gyrus as a substructure of the hippocampus. I mention this only to warn you, if you find trawl through various reports and find such discrepancies. They can be confusing. I have tried to integrate such discrepancies into a consistent description that seems to make most sense. Just bear in mind that dividing the brain into separate structures is not an exact science.
Functions of the MTL
The MTL has been particularly implicated in the process of memory consolidation - the process by which new memories become progressively more stable (see my article on consolidation for more details). Lesions in the MTL typically produce amnesia characterized by the disproportionate loss of recently acquired memories. A recent imaging study confirms this view by showing temporally graded changes in MTL activity in healthy older adults.
Progressive atrophy in the mediotemporal lobe also appears to be the most significant predictor of cognitive decline in seniors. Elderly persons with a poor memory have less activity in the mediotemporal lobe when storing new information than elderly persons with a normally functioning memory.
The MTL also appears to be particularly important during initial learning. Research has found rapid modulation of activity in the MTL at the beginning of learning, with this activity rapidly declining with training.
All this indicates that the MTL is not only hugely important, but that it covers a quite extraordinary range of functions. The reason for this lies in the fact that the MTL is not a single brain structure.
Components of the MTL
It is probably fair to say that the original concept of the MTL was, at least in part, a reflection of the inability of early researchers to "see" the activity in the brain in very much detail. Now, of course, neurological techniques have progressed to the point of being able to pinpoint activity to a quite fantastic level. It is therefore now possible to some degree to disentangle the functions of the various components of the MTL.
The most significant of the individual components of the MTL is the hippocampus. The hippocampus, one of the oldest parts of the brain, is important for the forming, and perhaps long-term storage, of associative and episodic memories. It is thus absolutely critical for learning and memory, and a brain region much studied by researchers.
The hippocampus
In recent years, the hippocampus has been specifically implicated in (among other things) the encoding of face-name associations, the retrieval of face-name associations, the encoding of events, the recall of personal memories in response to smells. It may also be involved in the processes by which memories are consolidated during sleep.
A variety of specialized neurons have been found in the hippocampus. For example,
- "categorizing cells", which streamline and simplify sensory information, markedly reducing the brain's workload, by categorizing stimuli into various classes (categories that have been acquired through experience).
- "changing cells", which appear to be involved in the initial formation of new associative memories, and may also, in some cases, be involved in the eventual storage of the associations in long-term memory.
- "place cells", which become active in response to specific spatial locations; some of these cells also seem to be sensitive to recent or impending events, thus enabling you to place location within a temporal context (e.g., is this somewhere I've just been, or somewhere I intended to go?).
The existence of place cells is supported by other evidence for the role of the hippocampus in spatial navigation and memory. For example, London taxi drivers (famous for their extensive knowledge of London - a spatial task) have been found to have, on average, significantly bigger hippocampuses than "ordinary motorists". In similar vein, the chickadee, a tiny songbird, gathers and stores seeds in the fall, and at this time its hippocampus expands in volume by some 30% by adding new nerve cells. It shrinks back in the spring.
The role of the hippocampus in episodic (event) memory is underscored by findings that deficiencies in the hippocampus play a key role in alcoholism-related Korsakoff's syndrome (a memory disorder), as well as Alzheimer's disease.
The hippocampus has also been implicated in memory consolidation processes, but evidence now suggests the hippocampus may participate only in consolidation processes lasting a few years. It is probably critical for the initial consolidation of memories that appears to take place during sleep (see my article on sleep and memory for more detail on this). Rat studies have found that, during sleep (mostly the slow-wave phase), the thalamus at the base of their brains produced bursts of electrical activity, which were then detected in the somatosensory neocortex. Some 50 msec later, the hippocampus responded with a pulse of electricity. It's suggested that this pulse is the hippocampus sending back compressed waves of the information learned during the day to the neocortex where they are filed away for future reference.
The evidence that some memories might be held in the hippocampus for several years, only to move on, as it were, to another region, is an interesting complication to our earlier simple view of memory dividing into "short-term memory" and "long-term memory". It seems that long-term memory, now better labeled as permanent memory, is far from being the straightforward storage system that we once envisaged. Not only do memories become reconstructed, but they become, it would seem, re-filed. The implications of this, still speculative, relocation, are as yet unknown. Perhaps memories in this "permastore" are more resistant to change.
Substructures of the hippocampus
There are several substructures within the hippocampus. It is only very recently that researchers have been able to go inside the hippocampus, as it were, and pinpoint hippocampal activity to particular substructures.
- the dentate gyrus: is the main entry point for nerve fibers into the hippocampal formation. Rat studies suggest that the dentate gyrus is crucial for the acquiring of new information, and the functioning of working memory. Most recently, it has been implicated with the cornu ammonis as being highly active during encoding offace-name pairs. The dentate gyrus is one of the very few regions in the adult brain that appears to allow neurogenesis (creation of new nerve cells). Neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus has been found to be significantly reduced in marmoset monkeys when exposed to stress. Dysfunction in the dentate gyrus appears to be linked to cognitive deficits in those suffering from Alzheimer's. The granule cells in the dentate gyrus project to the pyramidal cells in the cornu ammonis.
- the cornu ammonis: is thought to be the main site of memory processing in the hippocampal formation. Most recently, it has been implicated with the dentate gyrus as being highly active during encoding offace-name pairs. Part of the cornu ammonis (CA3) has been of special interest due to its high number of recursive neurons (nerve fibers which loop back on themselves - enabling the output of the neuron to influence its input). Most recently, the CA3 has been found to be crucial for recalling memories from partial representations of the original stimulus (for example, when memories are triggered by smells).
- the subiculum: can be thought of as the "last stage" of processing in the hippocampal formation. It is the primary target of the pyramidal cells in CA1. The subiculum is connected to the perirhinal, entorhinal and prefrontal cortices, and thus is in a position to integrate information from several sources and pass this information on. The subiculum however has been much less studied than the other substructures of the hippocampal formation. Recently, it has been found to be active during the retrieval of newly learned face-name associations.
The rhinal cortex
The entorhinal cortex is a region upon which nerve fibers from many sensory systems converge. It is the main input to the hippocampus, and also the main output. This is why damage to this region is so serious. The entorhinal cortex is one of the first regions damaged in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
It has also been suggested that the entorhinal cortex handles "incremental learning" — learning that requires repeated experiences. "Episodic learning" — memories that are stored after only one occurrence — might be mainly stored in the hippocampus.
While the hippocampus appears to participate in memory consolidation processes only for the first few years, the entorhinal cortex seems to be associated with temporally graded changes extending up to 20 years - suggesting that it is the entorhinal cortex, rather than the hippocampus, that participates in memory consolidation over decades.
The perirhinal cortex has been a largely neglected region. It is adjacent to the visual processing area, as well as the entorhinal cortex, and recent research demonstrates that it is important for recognizing objects. In particular, it is crucial for recognizing the many features of an object, while still recognizing it as a single entity. The perirhinal cortex also appears to be involved in associating objects with other objects, and even with abstractions such as a goal. Unsurprisingly, in view of its involvement in recognition memory, it appears to play a critical role in establishing the familiarity of an item.
While the hippocampus is also involved in object recognition, the functions of the two regions appear quite different.
The amygdala
The amygdala is part of the basal ganglia, large "knots" of nerve cells deep in the cerebrum, thought to be involved in various aspects of motor behavior (Parkinson's disease, for example, is an affliction of the basal ganglia). The amygdala has many connections with other parts of the brain, and is critically involved in computing the emotional significance of events. Recent research indicates it is responsible for the influence of emotion on perception, through its connections with those brain regions that process sensory experiences. Rat studies also suggest that the amygdala, in tandem with the orbitofrontal cortex, is involved in the forming of new associations between cues and outcomes - in other words, it is the work of the amygdala to teach us what happens to us when we do something.
The connection between the amygdala and the hippocampus helps explain why emotion can have such powerful effect on learning and memory (to put it crudely, the amygdala remembers the feelings, and the hippocampus remembers what event elicited those feelings). (see article on emotion and memory)
The brain is a network
It must always be remembered that no structure within the brain acts on its own. This is reinforced by a recent study that found that, as subjects studied word lists, clusters of neurons in the rhinal cortex and the hippocampus fired synchronized electrical bursts, with this coordinated activity plummeting for a fraction of a second just after participants remembered a word from the list. This has led to speculation that memory relies more on the timing (coordination) than on the strength of neural activity.
We still know very little about the ways in which these structures interact; only as we gain more knowledge about this will we know whether we are justified in talking about a "mediotemporal lobe". Nevertheless, this region of the brain is undoubtedly vital for what we might term "stereotypical" memory - the memory domains we are most likely to be thinking of when we think of memory.

SFDS #2 Are Champs After Two Overtime Victories
St. Francis De Sales 3rd grade #2 soccer team won the Midget Division Diocesan Championship last weekend with two thrilling overtime victories. SFDS #2 outlasted defending champion and top seed St. Thomas More, 2-1, for the title on Sunday. The championship was decided in a sudden death shootout when Nicole Maranga buried the game winner in the back left corner and goalie Daisy Trusttum gobbled up St. Thomas' seventh and last kick.
Daisy also scored a goal in the first round of the shootout, as did Therese Boyle. St. Thomas scored on its first two kicks of the first round but was stopped on its next five penalty kicks by Daisy.
After a scoreless, hard-fought first half, St. Francis broke through on a
goal Shannon Twomey with five minutes left in regulation. Battling against the wind, SFDS #2 connected on a series of passes that freed Shannon to put the ball inside the right post for what could have been the game winner.
St. Thomas answered right back, however. The game was knotted less than 60 seconds later on a long shot that was deflected past St. Francis' goalie.
Neither team could take advantage of the wind during the two five-minute overtime periods. First, SFDS #2 had the edge and came close to scoring thanks to the strong efforts of Shannon De Silvia. Then St. Thomas was on the attack for most of the last five minutes.
St. Francis relied on midfielders Therese Boyle and Meaghan King to bolster the backline and force the shootout. Daisy Trusttum made several gutsy saves in traffic. Shannon Twomey returned from in-game injuries to help keep the game tied. Caitlin Byrne played her best game of the year.
On Saturday, SFDS #2 qualified for the finals by edging SFDS #1, also 2-1. SFDS #2 looked to have the edge early. With Samantha Scaccia and Annie Ryan applying pressure, SFDS #2 stayed on the offensive. Therese Boyle, who had an outstanding game, scored at the six minute mark as SFDS#2 led 1-0. However, the momentum shifted five minutes later on an amazing goal off a corner kick by SFDS #1.
Alexis Feldman arced the ball over SFDS #2's wall to Hannah Kirk, who one-timed a high shot under the crossbar to tie the semifinal.
The game turned into a see-saw battle with long back-and-forth rushes in the hot sun.
SFDS #2's back line of Ginna Davan, Anna Charles and Katie King made several great stops. SFDS #1's goalie Raina Dziuk made two game-saving plays with diving efforts. Regulation ended 1-1.
At the end of the first overtime, Therese Boyle struck again. Therese scored from in front to put SFDS #2 ahead for good. Meaghan King, who played an excellent all around game, dropped back to sweeper position to help assure the margin of victory would stand. Kristie Carey played every position on the field during the win. Lorianna Dalassandro tried bravely to play with a foot injury.

Programable thermostat
I'm looking for advice on programmable thermostats. Ideally I'd like one I can actually set up via my computer. We have really weird schedules in our house, and being able to set it for specific times would save a LOT of ... discussion ... between my husband and I.
We have the 3M Filtrete wifi enabled one from Home Depot. Works great, Android app is free (not sure if iPhone app is) and works well. You can access it from your computer as well. The Nest thermostat is nice but spendy but the automatic features may work for your family better than a regular programmable, just don't expect it to save a lot of money compared to a properly programmed thermostat.
Ive been using ecobee, they have auxiliary contacts for a wet switch to guard the sump pump or monitor a radon system or to kick lights on and off.
Ours is a 7 day/4 times programmable. On a typical weekday, it goes to 68F at 6:00a to get the house warm for us when we wake up at 6:20-6:30. 8:00a it goes down to 62F since I'm at work already and my wife leaves to get the kids to school then her to work. 3:00p it comes back up to 68F because I get home around 3:30-4:00 then her with the kids soon after. At 10:45p it goes down to 62F for the night.
On Saturdays/Sundays I have it set to warm up the house a little later and in 2 stages then keep it warm until a little later at night. If we're going to be out, we'll set it back down to a low temp and if we remember turn it up on the way home.
Every family has a different schedule and it may be different by day, you have to figure out what works for you.
The Nest has a motion sensor that can automatically set itself and it learns based on how you adjust the temp, but you have to adjust it quite a bit at first for it to learn your habits. Most people that I know don't adjust the temp very often, so giving them a Nest would probably give some questionable results. They are very cool looking though...
Weekends are the hard part. My husband works a rotating schedule so his "weekend" changes every week. My pipe dream is to find one that I can link to an actual calendar, or even set up the rotating pattern that doesn't actually match a seven day work week.
I'll check out the Nest.
Found in my home that using the program feature was costing me more. So we set it back maybe 2 degrees when we leave and adjust back when we get home. We only set back if we are gone for 6 plus hours, anything under that and we leave it.
How do you figure it was costing you extra money? Heat pump using strip heaters too often?
Mine is not heat pump but gas. I found that setting it back anymore than 2 maybe 4 degrees during winter day or night, required too long of a recovery.
So I tested it by knowing the 4 degree setback costs, then setback less and my house was more comfortable and cost less.
Cost aside, do you think the Nest provides any extra value or energy efficiency over the other Wifi/programmable thermostats? "Learning" is a pretty cool feature, and it's design is sexy, but I'm also nerdy enough to come up with my own schedule.
Have no idea just seems to be another way to do something, in other words a better mouse trap.
and if I had your talents and skills to tweak mine, I could probably do the same! :thumbup:
But with 3600 square feet and the house not correctly sealed, well we are doing the best we can!
I tell most people to use a set back of 1°F for every 2 hours they will be gone. that provides some savings and a reasonable recovery time.
Under normal circumstances, I am sure what you suggest will work. My downstairs is a PITA to heat: high ceiling, open stairway to second floor and throw in a single return air in the ceiling and it makes for a bad setback situation!
Did a test a few years back, rigged up an exyension for the return air so it would draw air down low, helped out quite a bit. Just cannot figure out how to get the return down low?

RIP The inventor of the video game cartridge
Most people don't remember the Fairchild Channel F as a particularly important milestone in videogame history. It had only 26 games during its short run and none of them had the staying power of Atari classics like Missile Command and Space Invaders. But the Fairchild and its recently-passed designer, Jerry Lawson, pioneered a technology so important that it became both a ubiquitous standard and one of the most recognizable symbols in computer entertainment: the videogame cartridge.

Sassy was adopted today, to a local husband & wife who had seen her on the animal welfare organization's web page and had been put in contact with me to learn more about her.
We met up at the shelter & everything went really well, so they adopted Sassy. She will have a big, fenced yard to play in, and her new mom is home most of the time, so Sassy will love that!
It was nice that the animal welfare organization employee who volunteered to foster Sassy for so long was also there today & able to see Sassy leave for her new home.
I will transfer this web page over to the ownership & control of her new family soon.
This afternoon I took Sassy in to the animal welfare organization's facility, to expose her to people & other animals for the first time since I brought her home with me a week ago.
She was overwhelmed by large groups of people nearby, but reacted by being timid, not fear-aggressive. She did OK with individuals who slowly & calmly approached her. Some she'd met before & hence was friendly with, others she'd never seen before and was somewhat timid, but let them briefly touch her without much objection. It probably helped that I stood by her & tried to project calmness & confidence her way.
She met a new dog (female Chihuahua) & did fine interacting with her off-leash in an office area that also had some humans in it. She was quite happy of course to see Kayla, her former foster-mom there!
We walked through a cat area, and Sassy had no reaction to over a dozen cats, some just a few feet away & at eye level (in kennels), nor did they react to her. This is good news for a potential adopter who has one or more cats.
Today was just a quick visit -- exposing her to new people & animals, then getting her back home safe & sound. We'll do this sort of thing again soon to continue to help build her confidence & socialization.
Almost 5 days with Sassy, and all is well. She's never challenged me at all, though was occasionally a little growly with some of my other dogs here, but only when they pushed her boundaries.
Sassy bonded to me very quickly, and has been affectionate and somewhat submissive. I can pick her up, hold her paws, hold her tail, carry her belly-up, etc. without any protesting from her, even though she's probably not completely comfortable with my doing so.
I think if Sassy's handler displays confidence, Sassy will not challenge the person. But if the handler seems nervous or uncertain, that's when Sassy might step-up & be a little growly or snappy.
Starting today, Sassy has become a little more outgoing & playful, not only with me, but with the other dogs she's living with in my home. She's finally starting to settle-in.
I'll give her a couple more days to just settle in & really learn to like/trust/respect me & then I'll gradually start taking her out in public -- car rides, walks around the block, to the dog park, etc. and see how she does. We'll also go to the animal shelter so certain people there can try working with her.

Just make sure you take your time with the wiring on the harness. Pretty much the only tool you need to do the install is a phillps screw driver. If you still dont feel comfortable with doing the install just buy the parts yourself to save yourself some money and get it install at the stereo shop.

KAKA admits he may be on his way out of Real Madrid in January after failing
to force his way into Jose Mourinho's starting XI.
La Liga giants Real paid AC Milan a staggering £56million to secure the
Brazilian playmaker's services in 2009.
But a long-standing knee injury, coupled with a loss of form, has seen him
start just one league game so far this season.
That appearance came against Celta Vigo in October but he had little time to
impress with Mourinho hooking him at half-time.
The Special One handed Kaka the captain's armband for last night's 4-1
Champions League win over Ajax and the 30-year-old responded by scoring
his side's third goal.
With LA Galaxy rumoured to be interested following the departure of David
Beckham, it appears Kaka's days could be numbered at the Bernabeu.
He said: "I keep doing my job to stay in Madrid. Then, to see what happens and
what the club wants.
"It's not a comfortable situation for either the club or me. I do not know
what will happen but I have a contract until 2015.
"The club called me in the summer and we did not find a solution. In January,
I hope to know what the club wants.
"If they choose a solution, I'm open to talk."
Beckham, who played with Kaka during a loan spell at AC Milan, believes the
Brazil international would be the perfect fit for the MLS.
He said: "We'd welcome any player of his skill and calibre at Galaxy."
Despite the endorsement from Becks, Kaka insists he is in the dark about a
switch to the States.
He added: "I have heard nothing."

This is the brand new RC 1:15 scale version of the popular car from iconic Knight Rider TV series. It takes genuine talent to outshine an acting juggernaut like David Hasselhoff. But, unbelievable though it may seem, the Hoff was once upstaged by a car. And it wasnt just any old car, it was KITT, or to give its full title, the Knight Industries Two Thousand. This sleek, customized Pontiac Trans-Am was impervious to attack, could cruise at 300mph and was loaded with hi-tech armaments. It could even talk, albeit in an incredibly camp, condescending voice. And now, thanks to your hairy-chested friends at the Firebox Foundation, you can own a fully-functioning, RC version of one of TVs greatest vehicles.
The Knight Rider RC Car doesn't have a molecular bonded shell, and it cant leap through the air (unless you throw it). It does, however, travel forwards, backwards, left and right, and boasts a turbo-boost function. It also emits that familiar whooshing sound and features a working red sensor on the hood. Best of all, this tribute to an 80s legend talks when you hit a button on the transmitter: I am KITT, whom you may regard as the voice of the Knight 2000. As soon as you get behind the wheel (well fool around with the transmitter) of this iconic vehicle the Knight Rider memories will come flooding back: Michaels unfeasibly tight jeans, Devons plummy voice, Aprils incredible set of ahem wrenches and that pulsating theme music. In fact, this beautifully built RC car is so evocative you might be tempted to buy an ill-fitting leather jacket, get a perm and cruise the highways fighting crime. Or maybe not.
With whispers of a new series of Knight Rider in the pipeline, theres never been a better time to make a total Hasselhoff out of yourself. Whether youre a fan of the show or you just love everything to do with the Hoff (and who doesn't?), buying a Knight Rider RC Car is your civic duty. After all, how else will you champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless and the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law? Exactly! (The Hoff not included.)
- Officially licensed, 1:15 scale radio control K.I.T.T. ("Knight Industries Two Thousand").
- Full function control - forward, reverse, left, right, stop and turbo boost feature.
- Working red sensor with varying speeds and "cyclon" sound effect.

Innocence and the Death Penalty
"Whether or not any innocent defendants have actually been executed, abundant evidence accumulated in recent years has resulted in the exoneration of an unacceptable number of defendants found guilty of capital offenses. The risk of executing innocent defendants can be entirely eliminated by treating any penalty more severe than life imprisonment without the possibility of parole as constitutionally excessive."
—U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, concurring opinion in Baze v. Rees (2008)
