I followed Kyle Marks as he went down the hall towards the office. I knew he wouldn't sense me as long as I didn't get too close. Just as he reached the office I appeared behind him. Another one of my new skills that I knew would come in handy was the speed I had developed while on the run from a vampire hunter over the summer. Kyle appeared unaffected by my sudden appearance, but just as I was about to tap his shoulder he spun and caught my hand.
"Nice to see you again Scarlett."
"I'd say the same, but I'm trying to keep my lies to a minimum."
"Ouch," he theatrically grasped his chest over his heart, "That hurt."
"I'm sure."
"So what have you been up to gorgeous?"
"Oh the usual. You?"
"Dragons, Goblins, you know...the usual."
"Well, you'd better get in the office then. Wouldn't want you to miss your oppertunity to get back in the school would we?"
"No. We wouldn't."
I started to step away, but he followed. "Scarlett, Scarlett, Scarlett, isn't that kid from the kitchen dry yet?"
"Definately not Kyle. And still as delicious as ever. If any of the others knew I doubt he'd last long though. But i'm willing to share if you like." I reached up and kissed him lightly on the cheek, then vanished so quickly he didn't have time to catch his breath.

Our Florida Story
We have been coming to Florida as a couple and now as a family for the past 20 years and are still as much in love with the place as we ever were. We are always excited to visit and love to plan each trip together and then really look forward to coming each time we visit.
We have often brought friends and other family members with us and everyone has been taken by some or all of what Florida has to offer. There really is so much to do and see - all you have to do is ask and you can tap into our experience of everything that the local area has to offer.
We live in the UK in a village in rural Norfolk. We have always lived near the sea and have always enjoyed living by the coast and so Florida's Gulf Coast was the natural place for us to buy our holiday home. The weather is always fine, the local people are very friendly and we have all the advantages of staying in a home from home. We have got to know some of our neighbours along our street and have made friends and contacts in and around the area that are always on hand to offer help and assistance to both ourselves and our visiting guests.
Our property managers, Sue and Steve, live nearby and are on hand to give you both a friendly welcome and any help or advice you need to help you enjoy your stay. They are very reliable and know the area extremely well.
Best of Both Worlds
Situated on the Gulf Coast we have found the area to be quieter and more relaxed than the more commercial East Coast and Orlando/Kissimee areas. Here on the Gulf we have the best of both worlds; there are great beaches nearby (SunWest and Pine Island Beach being our favourites) and easy access to attractions with Busch Gardens and Adventure Island among our favourites and both less than 45 minutes away.
The immediate area is well served by an amazing choice of excellant restaurants - you can eat at a different venue every night for 2 weeks and enjoy something quite different each time. Catches, Longhorn, Chilis, Red Lobster, Applebees, The Outback, Sams and Bonefish are among our favourites. For breakfast there is RAM's family Diner nearby, I-Hop on US 19 and of course Dennys. For snacks and treats there is Dairy Queen and for lunch Sub-Way and all of these places are within easy reach of our home
A great way to spend an evening is to have a BBQ at the house and eat outdoors on the pool deck - a great place to relax and unwind after a hard days shopping!
Other Attractions
There is great shopping locally at Gulf View Mall and along US19. Travel a little further and Citrus Mall (25mins drive) and International Mall in Tampa (40mins drive) have all the shops you could wish for - as do 'The Shops at Wiregrass' - a more traditional high street type layout with numerous shops, restaurants and cafes - retail heaven!
For parkland walks and nature trails there is JB Starkey Wilderness Park - a great area for picnics and cycling too. Also there is the amazing Weeki Wachee Springs - a superb warm water natural spring that can be canoed along for its entire 6 mile length - great for viewing Florida in the raw and all its amazing wildlife including Manatee, birds, turtles etc.
Why not visit nearby Tarpon Springs where you can arrange boat andfishing trips as well as Dolphin Cruises and even snorkelling or indulge in fabulous traditional Greek pastries and strong coffees in authentic Greek cafes.
North on US19 lies Spring Hill, a vibrant town where you can explore shops and visit Pine Island Beach ( a State Park also known as Alfred McKethan Park) with its sandy beaches and shady picnic areas. Here you will also find car parking, showers, toilets, outdoor bbq's and a small shop to buy drinks and snacks.
Further afield in Tampa you can visit museums (such as the amazing Museum of Science & Industry on East Fowler Avenue) , art galleries and of course the fabulous Florida Aquarium - a must see for children and adults alike.
A little further afield is the Salvador Dali museum and gallery in St Petersburg, a fascinating day out.
Or just ask us - we are more than happy to talk about all the attractions, facilities, beaches and leisure activities we have discovered on our many trips to this part of Florida!
When you're ready to book, here are some tips to keep in mind.

Car: Recommended
Our home is situated on the beautiful Fairway Oaks Golf Course with greens fees of $25 per person including golf cart. Hudson Beach less than 3 miles away has water sports, boating and fishing trips, not to be missed fabulous sunsets as well as outdoor dining on the beach at Sam's Bar or the more formal Inn on the Gulf.
Great restaurants and shopping within 10 to 15 minutes drive along US19. Top quality shopping in superb surroundings at Citrus Park Mall approx 25 mins drive and at International Mall approx 35 mins drive. Or why not visit 'The shops at Wiregrass' some 30 minutes drive with traditional high street lay out, free parking and a huge range of shops, restaurants and cafes.
The local area has some of North America's best beaches inc. Pine Island Beach, also known as Alfred McKethan Park, Caladesi Island a wonderful nature reserve with beaches - accessed by a ferry service, or the world famous Clearwater Beach to the South approx. 35 mins drive. On the way stop off in Tarpon Springs fishing and sponge diving village, on Alt 19. Superb Greek pastries, cafes and shopping on the dock side.
Busch Gardens Theme Park with amazing animals and thrilling rides, our personal favourite, approx 40 mins away and next door to this is Adventure Island a superb water park with rides and attractions for all ages - fantastic fun! The Florida Aquarium in Tampa is well worth a visit or a little further afield there is of course Disney World.
Or why not stay by the pool and use our outdoor bbq and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and unspoilt views across the golf course, a great way to unwind.
Dining Out - you really can eat out in style every night of your stay and not have to visit the same place twice. For great seafood try Catches, Red Lobster or our favourite Bonefish - all within a short distance of our holiday home. For great steaks there is Longhorn and The Outback again only a short distance by car. For more casual dining there is Sam's literally on the beach at Hudson where you can sit with a nice drink and watch the sunset. For takeaway meals there is Marzellos Italian and a great Chinese takeaway - both on the parade within walking distance of the house. Also nearby are 2 pharmacies, a fuel station, a bank and Publix Supermarket.
Golf: Our home sits back from the Links Golf Course giving nice parkland views whilst at the same time remaining private and secluded due to surrounding trees, bushes and shrubbery. The course is well kept and has a good variety of short, medium and long holes with some narrow and some more open spaces. I am a 24 handicap golfer and thoroughly enjoy playing this course. Green fees are around $20 to 25 per person per round and include an electric golf cart. As a nice alternative you can also play the 'sister' course Beacon Woods just a short drive away off Fivay. This course is also well laid out and well kept charging only $20 per round including golf cart.
There are 2 reasonable half sets of golf clubs in the garage at the house if you don't have or can't bring your own clubs. These are free for all of our guests to use. In addition to this there are many excellent golf courses within a 10 mile radius of our house - please e-mail or telephone for details.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: We live in the UK in a village in rural Norfolk, not far from the city of Norwich. We have always lived near the sea and have always enjoyed living by the coast and so Florida's Gulf Coast was the natural place for us to buy our holiday home. The weather is always fine, the local people are very friendly and we have all the advantages of staying in a home from home.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
There are so many amazing features and benefits when choosing our home. The house was made for families and groups of people wishing to stay together. The internal layout of the property is perfect with each bedroom next to a bathroom for convenience. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged around the main living areas - this allows everyone their own space and privacy whilst providing plenty of separate areas to meet up, relax, eat or just hang out and watch TV. The house itself is very spacious, has high vaulted ceilings to keep it cool with plenty of parking out front and a large double garage so that vehicles may be stored and kept cool overnight. Outside there is a fabulous pool terrace with plenty of room for outdoor dining, sunbathing or simply looking out over the neighbouring golf course. It feels like you are in a park due to the rolling grass fairways and numerous birds, squirrels and other wildlife passing by. The house itself is less than 1 mile away from a Supermarket, and a Gas station as well as pharmacies, takeaway restaurants and only 2 miles from the nearest beach. However as we are situated in a quiet no outlet (cul-de-sac) road the area is quiet, residential and the neighbours are friendly.

Like a train, only hotter...
... br> Anyway, the taxi arrived and transported us swiftly to the train station, and what a station it is. Multi-level, multi platform, multi everything. It even had a fish and chip shop !!! Everything worked to plan and once the train arrived we boarded, found our seat and began to sweat.
Now, the sweating wasn't because of fear, nervousness or worry, the sweat was simply because the inside of the train was at about 35C; it ...
Last stop - Prague
... a "Hop-on-hop-off" 48 hour bus ticket and joined the umbrella brigade at all the hotspots. Our SA locals called this kind of rain "motreen" which aptly describes it. It does not feel like a big deal but makes you pretty wet, nonetheless.
Interestingly, and very unlike Croatia, 60% of Czechs are atheist and 33% are Catholic. The other 7% didn't provide information in the survey.
Our (rather expensive) photo tour of Prague ...
From la fiesta to German efficiency
... After months of inefficiency, I was looking forward to some German efficiency. The kind where people do what they say they're going to do, when they say they are going to do it. There's no Bolivian ladies piling their whole lives on buses (including their 5 small screaming children), there's no one yelling "hola bonita" from across the road, but there IS good street meat like South America (even the kind that doesn't give you salmonella and a **** yourself ...

I was getting quite good at sleeping. Everyone else seemed to get up before I raised an eyelid. It was an amazing feeling. I hadn't felt rested for months. The morning passed in a gentle swell of Sudoku, washing clothes and lolling. It was hot, then it stormed, then it was hot again. The pattern repeated itself. Donny and Mel were still busy at the summer camp.
Yet another flight, but this time to Fairyland.
Today started great. Actually got a good sleep, even though the mattress was like rock and the pillows were like marshmallows. Had breakfast and then a quick transfer to the airport and ready for the next leg. As I walked around trying to find my check-in counter, I started to see a build up of young girls looking in my direction. They all had cameras. I started to hear screams behind me. I turned to see like a million female teenagers running ...

I stopped here for a snack and a beer during a loop hike around the town of Freising. The Weihenstephan Brewery was also on the route. Friendly and helpful staff. Inexpensive snak options. Relaxing place. Lots of families with kids.
This is a nice beergarden which can be found if you leave Freising in direction to Haidhausen. A few hundred meters behind the end of the city you turn left and follow the way (at the right side of which you can park your car) until you reach the "Plantage".

Government set to speed up criminal "mega-trials"
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The government proposed legislation on Monday to speed up complex criminal trials involving large numbers of accused, aiming to reduce mistrials in cases related to organized crime and terrorism.
The governing Conservatives reintroduced legislation that they say will reduce excessive delays in so-called mega-trials, which often get bogged down in lengthy investigations, numerous witnesses and repetitive proceedings against several people.
"It has become increasingly difficult to ensure that complex trials take place and are completed within a reasonable time," Justice Minister Rob Nicholson told reporters.
"The measures outlined in this legislation will help streamline the prosecution of terrorism cases," he said.
Nicholson said the draft bill addressed some of the shortcomings in the handling of terrorism cases that were identified in an official inquiry into the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182 from Canada that killed 329 people off the coast of Ireland.
Drug trafficking, gang-related and white-collar crimes also often result in long, drawn-out trials.
The initiative has the support of the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), which fears a repeat of a controversial ruling by a Quebec judge last month that resulted in the release of 31 members of the Hells Angels biker gang because the court could not cope with the workload of putting them on trial.
The Conservatives had tried to push through these changes in the previous session of Parliament but the legislation died when Parliament was dissolved ahead of the May 2 election.
The Conservatives now hold a majority of seats in the House of Commons and can therefore pass legislation without support from the opposition. But unlike some of the Conservatives' other crime bills, the NDP not only supports this legislation but wants to fast-track its approval. Continued...

About Us:
We all love what we do, and we all love doing it together, because we demand the best people to make the best Venmo.
Venmo was founded on the principles of breaking down the foreboding walls of financial transactions to make them intuitive and even fun with friends. And it worked! People love sending money with Venmo.
But we're not done. We want to take that magic of sending money with Venmo and cascade it into every place you use your money. We want to connect the people of the world with their money, in an intuitive way, then connect them with each other in a genuine way.
All that's going to take a lot of figuring out. Let's figure it out together.
About Design at Venmo:
We love making things, so our days are spent with our heads together, pondering the right things to make and how they should work. We huddle with engineers and work closely together on projects from end to end -- turning ideas into beautiful, simple, and lovable products that work well. To do that, we indulge in thoughtful conversations, revel in storytelling, and can't wait to show and tell. We jam together, teach and learn from one another, and push each other to be at our creative and analytical bests. We know we're never completely done. We ship.
Why now?
This is a special time for Venmo and design at Venmo. Our product and company are growing rapidly, and we're constantly evolving the ways in which we work and the environment in which we work in. Much like how you might imagine a product redesign, we're in the midst of redesigning design itself at Venmo.
Who are you?
To you, there's nothing more addictive than making things that matter and showing them to people. You like telling stories, and it drives you nuts when the pixels don't come together to form a bigger picture with some meaning and feeling in between the lines. You love things outside of design and can teach us neat facts about them.
About the Role:
User experience is defined by every customer touch point, especially the moments when customers need to reach us for support. The tools and systems used by Venmo are central to delivering this amazing experience so we're seeking a designer who can analyze, synthesize, and empathize with the needs of both our customers and our support staff.
In this role, you'll:
- Design stupendously efficient and intuitive interfaces that will allow our support staff to address customer queries with clarity and elegance.
- Observe our current processes, explore the nuances of voice, chat, and email interaction, and create screens and workflows that are methodical, informative, and even fun.
- Play a central role in guiding our product design decisions by understanding and communicating where our customers need help the most.
- Provide guidance to our product team on how Venmo can continuously improve.
- Design screens, interactions, and workflows for very specific users with very specific needs.
- Deploy your designs into practice quickly, observe the results immediately, and plot your strategies for refinement.
- Create complex, data-rich, and purposeful designs based on empathic observation.
- 6+ years of experience designing enterprise-grade software products focused on data visualization, workflow optimization, or support management.
- Deep understanding of design processes and methods developed through experience and you balance fidelity with agility based on the task at hand.
- Analytical thinking is rigorous and communication is precise, and it shows instantly.
- Interest in exploring and experimenting without attachment.
- Expert knowledge of UI design tools, preferably Sketch.
- Ability to create prototypes at varying levels of fidelity using tools like Marvel, Atomic, Keynote, Hype, or other prototyping tools.
- Demonstrable experience building and refining successful software products based user observation.
- Previous experience making decisions and rallying various types of people around those decisions.
- Experience eliciting feedback from users in a range of contexts, and the ability to create user testing scripts and reports.
- A track record that shows that your execution is top-notch and nimble.
- People-centric: you understand people and can combine that with testing and data to make sound design decisions.
- Collaborative in all things: You know when to involve others and escalate issues
Nice to have:
- You've worked closely with software engineers and know how to successfully collaborate.
- Being technically fluent is very helpful (but not required)
- A sense of humor (in fact, this is a requirement, now that we think about it)
Please include your portfolio/website, work samples, Dribbble, github, etc. in your application. Applicants who do not include these examples in their application will not be considered.

The affable Martin Jol gave way to a prickly individual here yesterday. Talk of Juande Ramos or Jose Mourinho taking his job and a place in the bottom three caused irritation, but humour had not escaped Tottenham Hotspur's manager altogether. How else to explain his assertion that he still had the full support of the board?
"There is a joke in London now that he is the Special One, but he's not that special," said the Dutchman, discounting Mourinho's ability to give Tottenham the Champions League place demanded of their manager. "It would be a hell of a job and he knows it. Daniel Levy phoned me and said it is rubbish and that he hopes I will be here with him next year." A Spurs director, however, said the same to Ramos and contact has also been made with Mourinho's agent since the rift at Stamford Bridge last week.
At Bolton, where Sammy Lee is also treading precariously, there was a stay of execution for Jol and his counterpart but little convincing evidence of a transformation that would rescue either manager. Wanderers did improve and Spurs impressed in brief spells but the Dutchman continues to make life problematical for himself.
Omitting Jermain Defoe from his travelling party, the striker reportedly livid having scored twice in the Uefa Cup last week, Jol also invited scorn from his supporters by leaving in-form Gareth Bale in the stands. "Gareth Bale played a lot of games last week and will have opportunities again, Jermain Defoe is the same," said Jol. "But if I leave Gareth Bale out as the 17th man he is still a joy to be around." Ouch.
In adversity both managers turned to those they trusted. Robbie Keane was preferred to Defoe and made a telling contribution, and Iván Campo was given his first start of the season for Bolton as Lee brought his comfort blankets out of storage. With the Spaniard anchoring a 4-3-3 system, Bolton prospered from set pieces, were quick to seek direct balls over the Spurs full-backs and were merciless in the tackle. This was the Wanderers synonymous with Sam Allardyce, albeit with defensive frailty a notable variation.
Lee has stressed a desire for more expansive football but there is little beauty in being in the relegation zone. The sacrifice of principles since the abject defeat at Birmingham acknowledged as much and a home crowd only too keen to vent its frustrations on Lee, and the captain Kevin Nolan, was ultimately receptive to the back-to-basics philosophy.
Not that the former England coach was prepared to accept he had erred either. "It wasn't about the shape, it was about people being comfortable in possession. To say Iván is not a favourite of mine is not correct," said Lee, who until yesterday had not included the midfielder in a single squad this season.
Campo's name was sung first, loudest and last at The Reebok and his input was invaluable. His equaliser epitomised Bolton's in-with-the-old approach, rising superbly above Jermaine Jenas and Ricardo Rocha to head home an El Hadji Diouf free-kick.
Keane had driven Spurs ahead five minutes earlier. In a flowing, imaginative move, Didier Zokora floated a delivery to Jenas inside the area, the midfielder produced an instinctive shot which Jussi Jaaskelainen and Campo turned into the path of Keane for a rare execution from the visitors.
Keane almost stole victory four minutes from time only to be denied by a fine Jaaskelainen save but his strike partner, Dimitar Berbatov, did not match the captain's contribution. Languid and lazy, even when fouling a first-half throw-in by failing to lift his hands beyond his Alice-band, the only occasions the Bulgarian broke from his torpor was to remonstrate with a team-mate.
Jaaskelainen and Abdoulaye Méïté took their dispute further, the Bolton pair squaring up in stoppage time as the home side desperately strove to avoid another late defeat. "That's a sign of how committed they are, not of tension," insisted Lee. "I have seen that happen at many clubs and I admire it."
Despite an improved tempo and performance from both sides in the second half the closest either came to a winner was from a penalty appeal. Michael Dawson dragged Kevin Davies to the floor and Campo deliberately checked Rocha's run at a Tottenham corner but on both counts the referee, Andre Marriner, was unmoved and the respective managers were spared. For now.
Man of the match: Iván Campo
At the heart of everything positive that Bolton did, defensively and in attack, so why was he omitted from Sammy Lee's plans in the first place?
Best moment: A majestic leap to equalise and perhaps save the manager who shunned him.

An asymptotically optimal policy for finite support models in the multiarmed bandit problem

In the multiarmed bandit problem the dilemma between exploration and exploitation in reinforcement learning is expressed as a model of a gambler playing a slot machine with multiple arms. A policy chooses an arm in each round so as to minimize the number of times that arms with suboptimal expected rewards are pulled. We propose the minimum empirical divergence (MED) policy and derive an upper bound on the finite-time regret which meets the asymptotic bound for the case of finite support models. In a setting similar to ours, Burnetas and Katehakis have already proposed an asymptotically optimal policy. However, we do not assume any knowledge of the support except for its upper and lower bounds. Furthermore, the criterion for choosing an arm, minimum empirical divergence, can be computed easily by a convex optimization technique. We confirm by simulations that the MED policy demonstrates good performance in finite time in comparison to other currently popular policies.

NZD/USD: Murray levels
D1. The feeble attempt to gain a foothold above the key level of 8/8 (0.8789) was unsuccessful. Now the pair's likely to test the level of 7/8 (0.8667). Taking into account the uptrend, the pair's likely to recover to the area of CTD1 and 8/8. A fall below 7/8 is possible, if CTD1 changes color to yellow.
H4. Intersection of STH4 and CTD1 signals a trend change. Whether it's false or not will depend on a reaction to the level of 6/8 (0.8667): if it is broken by the bearish candle, and CTD1 turns downward, then the pair will slide below 4/8 (0.8545). A close above the 6/8 will lead to an increase to the area of CTD1 and a return to 8/8.


text: Home > World Chinese fishing fleet casts nets off Philippines Reuters Posted at Jul 16 2012 08:10 PM | Updated as of Jul 17 2012 10:03 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - A 30-vessel Chinese fishing fleet anchored off the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea on Sunday (July 15), amid tensions involving territorial disputes in the region. The fleet, which includes a patrol vessel for protection and a 3,000-tonne supply ship, left China's southern Hainan province on July 12 to explore new fishing areas, state agency Xinhua reported. The ships will cast their nets on Monday night, and plan to stay on fishing by the islands' Yongshu reef for about 10 days, Xinhua said. The South China Sea has become Asia's biggest potential military flashpoint as Beijing's sovereignty claim over the huge area has set it against Vietnam and the Philippines. Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei also have claims. Last month, China said it "vehemently opposed" a Vietnamese law asserting sovereignty over the Paracel and Spratly Islands, which straddle key shipping lanes and are thought to contain rich energy reserves. That row came days after an easing in a months-long standoff between China and the Philippines, but shows the persistent cycle of territorial frictions triggered by what some see as China's growing assertiveness in the area. The stakes have risen in the area as the U.S. military shifts its attention and resources back to Asia, emboldening its long-time ally the Philippines and former foe Vietnam to take a bolder stance against Beijing.

A lot of people are in a bad financial situation and therefore eagerly looking for new ways of making money. If you're one of them and would like to change your financial situation fast and with little work, then you can easily do that by trading Forex. In fact, there are many pros to trading Forex, as following.
Ease of Entry
Did you know that Trustworthy Forex Brokers allow you to trade with as little as two hundred and fifty dollars? That's due to the fact that you don't need to invest a fortune in order to get a decent ROI.
Leverage: Margin Trading
When it comes to the Forex market, you can make a very small deposit and with it control a vastly larger contract value. So with leverage, you can make a pretty good profit, while concomitantly keep risk capital to a very low percentage.
To help you better understand this, let's take the following example: You trade with a one to one hundred leverage, so this means that a $100 margin deposit would allow you to sell or purchase $10K worth of currencies. In the same way, with $500, you can trade $50K and so forth. On the other hand, you need to carefully manage risk, since with such a high degree of leverage you can lose quite a lot of money and vice versa.
Analytics, Forex Education and Free Demo Account
The majority of brokers out there will give you a free demo account that you can use in order to hone your Forex trading skills. It's recommended that you use it as much as possible in order to learn more about the pitfalls of Forex trading and how to make successful trades. On top of that, don't forget to read charts and read as many guides and books about Forex trading. By arming yourself with knowledge, you're going to greatly increase your chances of making large profits by trading Forex.

Do I have a right to access my father's genetic account?
Written By: Roy Gilbar, Netanya Academic College, Israel, and Charles Foster
In the recent case of ABC v St. George's Healthcare NHS Trust and others,1 [http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2015/1394.html] a High Court judge decided that:
(a) where the defendants (referred to here jointly as 'X') knew that Y, a prisoner, was suffering from Huntingdon's Disease ('HD'); and
(b) X knew that Y had refused permission to tell Y's daughter, Z (the claimant), that he had HD (and accordingly that there was a 50% chance that Z had it (and that if Z had it there was, correspondingly, a 50% chance that the fetus she was then carrying would have HD),
X had no duty to tell Z that Y was suffering from HD. Z said that if she had known of Y's condition, she would have had an abortion. Continue reading
Stopping the innocent from pleading guilty
Written by Dr John Danaher.
Dr Danaher is a Lecturer in Law at NUI Galway. His research interests include neuroscience and law, human enhancement, and the ethics of artificial intelligence.
A version of this post was previously published here.
Somebody recently sent me a link to an article by Jed Radoff entitled "Why Innocent People Plead Guilty". Radoff's article is an indictment of the plea-bargaining system currently in operation in the US. Unsurprisingly given its title, it argues that the current system of plea bargaining encourages innocent people to plead guilty, and that something must be done to prevent this from happening.
I recently published a paper addressing the same problem. The gist of its argument is that I think that it may be possible to use a certain type of brain-based lie detection — the P300 Concealed Information Test (P300 CIT) — to rectify some of the problems inherent in systems of plea bargaining. The word "possible" is important here. I don't believe that the technology is currently ready to be used in this way – I think further field testing needs to take place – but I don't think the technology is as far away as some people might believe either.
What I find interesting is that, despite this, there is considerable resistance to the use of the P300 CIT in academic and legal circles. Some of that resistance stems from unwarranted fealty to the status quo, and some stems from legitimate concerns about potential abuses of the technology (miscarriages of justice etc.). I try to overcome some of this resistance by suggesting that the P300 CIT might be better than other proposed methods for resolving existing abuses of power within the system. Hence my focus on plea-bargaining and the innocence problem.
Anyway, in what follows I'll try to give a basic outline of my argument. As ever, for the detail, you'll have to read the original paper. Continue reading
McMahan's Hazardous (and Irrelevant) Thought Experiment
Written by Professor Allen Buchanan and Professor Lance K. Stell
This is a response to an earlier post, by Jeff McMahan, about the right to carry guns, http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2015/04/a-challenge-to-gun-rights.
Before we criticize McMahan's argument, it is important to ascertain its implications: Assuming that, as McMahan thinks, there is no moral right to gun ownership, what follows, practically speaking? One might think that, given the number of gun deaths, it follows that there should be a legal ban on gun ownership. As we shall show, however, that conclusion does not follow. Whether or not gun ownership should be banned is independent of whether there is a moral right to gun ownership. We will show that McMahan has not established that there is no moral right to gun ownership, but that even if he had, he would not have thereby shown that there should be a ban on gun ownership.

Returning Looted Artworks
Written by Cecile Fabre, April 2015
In 1999, Maria Altman, who had fled Austria in 1938 following the Anschluss with Germany, filed a lawsuit against the Austrian government. Her claim was that five paintings by Gustav Klimt, had been looted by the Nazis from her uncle before falling into the possession of the Austrian authorities, and that these ought to be returned to her as the rightful heir. Two of the paintings included portraits of her aunt. The Austrians initially refused to take her request seriously but eventually gave in after several dramatic legal twists and turns.[1]
This story is now on our cinema screens under the title A Woman in Gold, with Helen Mirren in the starring role. The ending is clearly meant to be regarded as a happy one: after all, Altman does get the painting back. And, generally, many think that stolen or plundered works of art ought to be returned to those from whom they were taken, or their heirs. Continue reading
On the supposed distinction between culture and religion: A brief comment on Sir James Munby's decision in the matter of B and G (children)
On the supposed distinction between culture and religion: A brief comment on Sir James Munby's decision in the matter of B and G (children)
By Brian D. Earp (@briandavidearp)
What is the difference between "culture" and "religion" … ? From a legal standpoint, this question is important: practices which may be described as being 'religious' in nature are typically afforded much greater protection from interference by the state than those that are understood as being "merely" cultural. One key area in which this distinction is commonly drawn is with respect to the non-therapeutic alterations of children's genitals. When such alteration is done to female children, it is often said to be a "cultural" practice that does not deserve legal protection; whereas, when it is done to male children, it is commonly said to be a "religious" practice – at least for some groups – and must therefore not be restricted (much less forbidden) by law.
Is this a valid distinction?
Taking Rape Allegations Seriously: How Should We Treat the Accused?
Last week, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that it would not pursue further action against Oxford Union president Ben Sullivan, due to insufficient evidence arising from an investigation into the two accusations of rape and attempted rape made against him. In early May, Sullivan was arrested and released on bail, prompting a chaotic six-week period for the Union as the Thames Valley Police investigated the claims made against him. After Sullivan refused to resign, a number of high-profile speakers, including the UK director of Human Rights Watch, the Interpol secretary-general, and a Nobel Peace prize winner, pulled out of their speaking commitments as part of a larger boycott of Union events.
In an open letter (which has since been taken down) calling for the boycott, students Sarah Pine, who is Oxford University Student Union's Vice President for Women, and Helena Dollimor wrote, "Remaining in his presidency continues to offer prestige and power to someone who is being investigated for rape. This undermines the severe nature of allegations of sexual offences." In contrast, Oxford professor A.C. Grayling penned a response to the letter refusing to cancel his scheduled talk at the Union, noting, "I simply cannot, in all conscience, allow myself to act only on the basis of allegations and suspicions, or of conviction by the kangaroo court of opinion, or trial by press…" In this post, I look at the spectrum of responses in the wake of Sullivan's arrest, of which these two examples represent the poles. More broadly, I consider how we ought to respond – both as individuals and a society – when those in positions of power are accused of rape or other sexual offences. Continue reading
How the Danziger Story Advances the Abortion Debate in America: Actual Futures, Moral Status, and Common Ground
It has become commonplace in recent years to note that the 'abortion debate' in America has become entrenched. Indeed, there seem to be few issues in contemporary politics that elicit less common ground than the abortion debate finds in its stalwartly pro-choice and pro-life opponents. It is just as common, if not more so, these days to speak of the 'attack on Roe v. Wade' or 'the attack on women's rights,' particularly in light of recent findings that more abortion restrictions were enacted between 2011 and 2013 in the U.S. than in the entire previous decade. Now more than ever, especially for the pro-choice movement, it is necessary to conceptualize novel approaches to the questions of the beginning, end, and quality of life that sit at the heart of the abortion debate. Here I examine a recent case and how it has the potential to advance this debate. Continue reading
If you're female, your face is worth 48-67% more than mine
If you're a young woman, your face is worth between 48-67% more than that of a young man.
That's the gist of the Judicial College's Guidelines for the Assessment of General Damages in Personal Injury Cases, 12th Edition (2013) – one of the canonical texts used by lawyers.
For 'Very Severe Scarring' 'in relatively young women (typically teens to early 30s), where the cosmetic effect is very disfiguring and the psychological reaction severe', the suggested range of damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity (what lawyers call 'general damages') is £39,160 – £78,650. The corresponding figures for males ('especially in males under 30') are £24,090 – £53,075.
The editors of the Guidelines are embarrassed by the discrepancy. They point out that it arises from 'cases that stretch back into the mists of time', but that it is 'nonetheless open to serious doubt that gender itself can be a proper or indeed lawful factor in determining the level of general damages.' The embarrassment is appropriate. Gender in itself should not be relevant. The Guidelines list the relevant factors: they include 'the subjective impact of the disfigurement upon the claimant and the extent to which it adversely affects the claimant's social, domestic and work lives'.
Should the Guidelines declare that, as a matter of policy, the law should refuse to distinguish between facial scarring in males and in females? That, one might think, is an appropriate way for the law to declare its gender-blindness: it might help to nudge society (which the law leads, as well as reflects) in the right direction. But that would be wrong: the fact is that, whether we like it or not, facial scarring matters more to women. We should do our best to change the attitudes that make this the case, but it is the case, and in compensating claimants, judges should not pretend that we live in a liberal utopia in which people are not judged (by themselves and others) on the basis of the shape or colour of their face. Similarly, when assessing damages for loss of earnings, the law should not pretend that the legislation which prohibits discrimination on grounds of disability actually works.
Football scandal shapes the future of a one world government
A recent football scandal has broken to the surface of what is likely a deep swamp of corruption. At least 680 matches are dubious, probably many more. But how come law enforcement haven't been able to stamp out this epidemic? Well, as stated:
We are organized in Singapore, I flew from Budapest, the match is in Finland, we're wagering in the Philippines using masked computer clusters from Bangkok to Jakarta. Our communications are refracted across so many cell networks and satellites that they're almost impossible to unravel. The money will move electronically, incomprehensibly, through a hundred different nowheres.
No current legal system can cope. But legal football is huge business – if the current scandals persist, and start biting into the clubs' bottom lines, they will put huge pressure on legal authorities to clamp down (or to seem to clamp down). And if not football, then the next major industry suffering from organised crime more than they benefit from it. Continue reading
Sui generis, or generic gay? Pardoning Alan Turing
There is a new call for a pardon of Alan Turing, who in1952 was convicted of homosexuality. An earlier petition for a pardon was declined by the UK government (he got an apology instead 2009). Lord McNally stated in the House of Lords that:
"A posthumous pardon was not considered appropriate as Alan Turing was properly convicted of what at the time was a criminal offence. He would have known that his offence was against the law and that he would be prosecuted.
It is tragic that Alan Turing was convicted of an offence which now seems both cruel and absurd – particularly poignant given his outstanding contribution to the war effort. However, the law at the time required a prosecution and, as such, long-standing policy has been to accept that such convictions took place and, rather than trying to alter the historical context and to put right what cannot be put right, ensure instead that we never again return to those times".
However, the eminent signatories of the new call counter by arguing:
"To those who seek to block attempts to secure a pardon with the argument that this would set a precedent, we would answer that Turing's achievements are sui generis."
Does that make moral sense?
