Several members of the Rams secondary are facing heavy fines from the NFL. After reviewing the game tape of the Rams' victory over the Cardinals Sunday night, the league is sending a message to put an end to overly violent hits.
Rams defensive back Cortland Finnegan will surely be fined for his hit on Malcolm Floyd. After being ruled down on the play, Finnegan dove into Floyd. He also faces a fine for a late hit on Larry Fitzgerald out of bounds.
Finnegan has had a reputation as a dirty player since entering the league in 2006. He was fined $5,000 in 2010 for throwing Giant's wide receiver Steve Smith to the ground by his helmet. He was docked another $10,000 for hitting Broncos offensive guard Chris Kuper with no helmet on. Finnegan then finished 2010 with a $25,000 fine for getting into a fist fight with Texans star Andre Johnson on the field.
In 2012 Finnegan became a free agent and signed with St. Louis. He joined former head coach Jeff Fisher to help rebuild the team.
Other Rams facing fines are T.J. McDonald and Rodney McLeod. The pair collided on a double helmet-to-helmet hit on Andre Roberts. The league is checking to see if Roberts was still a "defenseless" receiver when the aggressive double hit occurred.
The NFL will review the violent plays to determine whether the hits were legal or not. It can be assumed that with Finnegan's reputation he will get a fine. With the league cracking down on violent hits this year, it will probably be a hefty one too.
It will be more interesting to see how the NFL handles the Andre Roberts hit. If he caught the pass and made a "football move" the double hit is legal. Still, with how much emphasis the league is playing on player safety and blows to the head, it would not be surprising to see McLeod and McDonald get fines regardless.

CBA staff vote for more industrial action
Page Tools
Striking Commonwealth Bank staff today voted to continue stopwork action during a series of meetings held across Australia.
Thousands of branch, back office and call centre staff walked off the job at 9am (AEST) today for a 24-hour strike demanding better working conditions, a 5.5 per cent pay rise and more staff.
In a move set to impact on customers for several weeks, staff today voted to hold a series of rolling half-day stoppages until August 11.
They also voted to launch a shareholder campaign in the lead-up to the Commonwealth Bank's AGM.
At a meeting today at the Sydney Town Hall, attended by almost 1,000 angry workers, Financial Services Union (FSU) branch secretary NSW/ACT Peter Presdee said a public campaign also would be part of the action.
"If it (the bank) was fair not one person would be here today," Mr Presdee said.
"(The bank) had better come to us and negotiate because this dispute will not finish today."
The bank says 93 per cent of branches across Australia are open, despite the strike action.
Electronic banking facilities, including ATMs, EFTPOS, telephone and internet banking networks are also available as usual.
The CBA says it's taking whatever action it can to minimise disruption to customers and apologises for any inconvenience.

Born in Utah, Mr. Hettig went on to graduate from Stanford University in 1965, then earned a master's degree in history at UCLA and pursued a doctorate in that field before going to law school at the University of San Francisco.
He volunteered with local YMCAs, receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 1998. He also co-founded the Aurora Foundation for human rights with Ginetta Sagan, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996 at the White House as Mr. Hettig watched. According to friends, his human rights work included international missions to covertly move funds into Poland to support the families of political prisoners.
Mr. Hettig was, according to friends, an adventurous man who trekked through Nepal, rafted down white-water rivers, and explored the upper reaches of the Mekong and Salween rivers in China and Tibet. Earthbound pursuits made room for airborne travels when Mr. Hettig earned a pilot's license.
He is survived by his wife Nan, of Menlo Park; his brother Richard of Melbourne, Australia, and an extended family.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, at 1:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto (505 E. Charleston Road in Palo Alto).

If you use Ad-Aware se Version 1.06 you know all to well of the annoying sound it makes when a scan is complete. Here is how to disable that annoyance.
Click on the Ad-Aware Configuration Window icon.
From the configuration window click on the Tweak button and expand Misc Settings. Change the green checkmark to a red X as shown below next to "Play sound at scan completion…." Click the Proceed button to save and that's it! No more annoying sound at the end of a scan.
I am not sure about the new version of Ad-Aware 2007 but personally I see no need to upgrade. I tried it out once and saw that it continuously runs in the background … and I am not a fan of programs that do that.

I know a CAD program would do the trick (I am an engineer so I have worked with numerous such programs) I would prefer a CAD program but I know there arent many for mac (not to mention not many that are free). PS I have photoshop and a full macromedia package, is there a way to do a 3D sort of image (with lighting effects and such) with either of these? Thanks for your help!

"Mind-reading" video game controllers are nothing new. The Atari Mindlink introduced the concept to gaming in 1983. Trephining and plunging electrodes through spurting skull holes was not the prerequisite: the Mindlink was a crock, actually controlled by a series of forehead waggles and facial tics. Then, last year, there was the Neurosky... Mindlink Mach II. Now Gizmodo's spotted a new one: the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator.
To begin with, you probably only want to map a single event to your games, but as your confidence improves you'll be able to do more and give your hands a break. And as the NIA can speed up response times (200ms to click fire, 100ms to think it), it means you'll be more efficient at shooting before getting shot.
We got to use the device for an extended play in the wonderfully frenetic Unreal Tournament 3, and the buzz you get when you knock up your first frag is every bit as stunning as it is scary.
It seems to be getting mostly positive reviews, but it's just another Mindlink: it basically just monitors your forehead muscles. When are people going to learn?
I think, ultimately, the idea that neurologically commanded video game controllers will somehow be more intuitive than their digitally handled counterparts is a phlegmatic huff on the magic jaybone of wishful thinking. People seem to assume that if such a controller comes along, looking around in a video game will be as easy as turning your head in real life. Obviously, it can't be that simple: if you send the same mental signal to look around in a game as you do to move your head, you'll quickly find yourself looking away from the screen. You'll need to train your brain to send a message to the controller to make you look around in the game. But I already know how to send that message: I tell my thumb to wiggle on the D-Pad. Simple. Direct brain controllers, even in theory, simply convolute the remarkable elegance of moving a mouse or thumbing a trigger button.

The hero and heroine and their happily ever after is the one element you're guaranteed to find in romance. Couples are common, and even books from our favorite authors may not be that memorable solely based on the couple at the heart of the story. It's the truly great couples that elevate solid romance novels to keeper status.
Everyone's heard of the really popular ones: Cat and Bones, Eve and Roarke, Elizabeth and Darcy. But the couples I go back to again and again are those who may not be as well-known but who are no less powerfully impacting, whose relationships stood out beyond the success of the story usually because their authors took care in creating a solid foundation for them over the course of several books.
Cat and Leo – Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas
Lisa Kleypas is prolific and has her own famous couples in Sara and Derek and Evangeline and Sebastian, but for me, Catherine and Leo are her most successful, most unique couple in the vast collection of her work. Leo is the only brother in the quirky, hilarious Hathaway family series. He is offbeat and doesn't take anything too seriously, while Cat is stern and rigid. They parallel each other; they each have dark pasts that lead them to masking and hiding themselves, albeit in different ways. What I love is that we get to see this couple developing throughout two books prior to their story. Their constant bickering and underlying sexual tension has been simmering so intensely that I knew once we finally got their story, it would be pure magic.
"Can you at least admit that you're fond of me?"
Catherine swallowed against the soft caress. "I...it's obvious that I am."
"Then say it," he urged, stroking the side of her throat.
"Why must I say something if it's obvious?"
But he persisted, damn him, seeming to understand how difficult it was for her. "It's only a few words." His thumb brushed the hard, anxious pulse at the base of her neck. "Don't be afraid."
"Please, I can't –"
"Say it."
Catherine couldn't look at him. She went hot and cold. Taking a deep breath, she managed a shaking whisper. "I'm f-fond of you."
Theirs is a beautiful, heartwarming story about a couple who begin so far apart, but as the heated arguments turn to intriguing banter, then to serious attraction and finally to sexual spark, a connection is built between Cat and Leo that goes far deeper than most in the romance genre. It's so refreshing to see Leo and Cat argue less and less as they win each other over. Leo really starts to woo her with every ounce of his gorgeous charm, and Cat falls hard. There is more sex in this book than usual for typical Kleypas fare, but with these two it's completely natural and expected, in line with the general love/hate relationship that they have. As the passion grows, so does the emotional development, which is the most rewarding.
Jessie and Diaz – Riding Temptation by Jaci Burton
Jessie and Diaz, from Jaci Burton's wonderful Wild Riders series, have that passionate, forbidden best friend/little sister theme, which builds their story so well. Part of an undercover group of redeemed criminals-turned-agents, they are paired on an assignment to infiltrate an illegal biker club. Jessie has loved and waited for Diaz from afar for years, and Diaz tries to act noble and stoic, denying an attraction between them that's steadily growing.
"I'm no coward."
His voice had gone low. That meant he was angry, trying to maintain his control. Good. At least she had his attention now.
She turned to face him. "Aren't you? You're too afraid to even attempt to have a relationship with me. If that isn't cowardice, then what is it? And if you tell me one more time that you're trying to protect me, I'm going to kick you straight in the balls."
He opened his mouth, closed it, then damn if the corners didn't lift into the hint of a smile. "Maybe I should be afraid of you. Christ, woman, you're feisty when you're angry."
"Yes, maybe you should be afraid of me, Diaz, because I don't like being told how I should and shouldn't feel. And I don't need protecting. I haven't needed protecting since I was fifteen years old. In case you haven't noticed, I'm an adult now. A woman."
The romantic suspense aspect adds a heightened intensity to the fact that they're finally going to give in to the heat between them. The sex scenes are intense and frequent, but they add something crucial to Jessie and Diaz's complex, evolving relationship. Diaz comes from a dark place, and Jessie really brings a much-needed light and optimism to him. She believes in him, they work together well, and as a couple they just fit. One of those special couples that feel really organic and made for each other. This is the best example of the best friend/little sister theme I've ever read, and it's a favorite trope of mine.
Keely and Jack – All Jacked Up by Lorelei James
One of my most-loved couples in all of romance is Keely and Jack from Lorelei James's magnificent Rough Riders saga. Wild woman Keely, the only female McKay in the long line of siblings, has been stirring up trouble all along, but she finally meets her match with businessman Jack Donahue. The two of them absolutely hate each other, but they need each other. So they strike a deal that Jack will help her get her clinic off the ground if she will help him put on a "family man" front for a conservative new client. That is, if they can keep from killing each other. The set-up sounds a little gimmicky, but seeing Keely and Jack invade each other's lives in every way is so much fun. The snappy, quick-fire banter filled with sparks of chemistry between them is worth reading alone, but as they each begin to feel something more, it turns into a real love story.
"Sweet Jesus, Keely," he muttered against her lips. "I want you so fucking bad."
"Jack –"
He kissed her chin, "Steamy, raunchy sex is a more productive outlet for our frustrations than flinging insults."
"I agree," she moaned when his lips slowly feathered down her throat, hitting every sensitive spot with unerring accuracy.
Jack sucked the tender slope between her shoulder and her collarbone, letting his breath fan the damp spots as his tongue licked to the other side.
The gentle sweep of his thumb in front of her ear as his firm lips and sharp teeth assaulted her neck caused her whole body to quiver with unbridled lust.
"I want to hike up your skirt and fuck you right now against this wall. Raw." His mouth brushed the shell of her ear. "Hard." He blew oh so softly. "Fast."
Her sex moistened and clenched with want.
Then she and Jack were face to face. His wild eyes didn't fit his matter-of-fact tone. "Say you'll let me do every dirty thing to you I've ever fantasized about."
"You've imagined having sex with me?"
"Always," he admitted.
Keely lets down her guard, and Jack shows just how amazingly sweet he can be, and we see how perfect they actually are for each other.
Annika and Creed – ACRO series by Sydney Croft
And my favorite romance couple of all time, a well-kept secret, is Annika and Creed from the writing team of Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler writing as Sydney Croft. Annika and Creed have the very unique opportunity of being featured as a secondary love story through the six-book ACRO series. Their story begins in Riding the Storm, as members of the covert government agency ACRO, whose supernatural agents each have a special ability they use to help fight the really bad guys around the globe. He is a ghost whisperer and she has electricity running through her that allows her to shock enemies. She hates him for turning her in after a previous mission, but they're forced together again and the sparks fly, even more so after Annika realizes Creed is the only guy she can have sex with because he's immune to her ability. They don't have a simple love story. Annika has a damaged past that has left her angry and hardened, and trust is completely foreign to her. But they can't keep their hands off each other, and as each sexual encounter draws them closer, it's impossible to deny that this relationship that started all about sex has evolved into something resembling love, and that scares them both. Creed wants more and has a hell of a time getting it from Annika. The first trilogy that makes up the series culminates in a final hour where they have to take a step of faith to commit, and while Creed has been the one fighting for them all along, when he's finally ready to give up, Annika fights hardest of all.
"I choose you, Creed." She threw out a hand to brace herself on a seat back when a particularly bad gust of turbulence knocked the jet around. "You've been so patient with me. So much more than I deserved. I was blind and stupid. I didn't put you first, and I should have. I'll do anything to make it up to you. Anything. Even if you say no, I won't give up."
His face fell, as if he wanted to believe her but couldn't allow himself to. "It's too late."
"It's never too late," she said fiercely. "I love you. You're all I want, and I'll do whatever it takes to make our relationship work. I'll cut back on my work schedule to spend more time with you. I'll move in with you. I'll –"
-Seduced by the Storm
What's really special about Annika and Creed is getting to see beyond the happily ever after in the second trilogy of the series. Their intricate, intense relationship continues to reach new depths and face challenges, which is a reality in life and which we don't always get to see in romance. They really help carry an imaginative, brilliant series, and the hope and redemption we find in their story is what romance, especially the great couples, is all about.

Councils could face new liabilities if they stop home owners cutting down trees after a woman whose husband died when a gum fell on their house was awarded almost $750,000 in damages.
The NSW Supreme Court of Appeal unanimously held that Shoalhaven City Council was liable for the death of Gordon Timbs, who died instantly when a 25-metre spotted gum fell on his house in South Nowra during a windstorm in 1998.
His wife, Carlene Timbs, had sued Shoalhaven City Council for negligence, claiming that as the council had inspected the four large trees on the property twice and declared them safe, it should be liable for his death.
Yesterday the NSW Court of Appeal agreed, overturning an earlier District Court decision in favour of the council.
The Local Government Association's lawyers were studying the decision last night before the body would comment. But the case is likely to have serious implications for councils who give advice on the safety of trees and then refuse permission for them to be cut down under tree preservation orders.
While the circumstances of the Timbs case might be unusual, the potential liability for property damage during storms could be substantial for many councils.
The Timbses had been worried about the four tall spotted gums on their land for some time and had asked council officers to come and inspect twice.
The first was in 1996 and again in January 1998, after a large branch blew down on their house on Christmas Day. On the second occasion, when Mr Timbs suggested that they would "just cut them down", he was told he would be fined $2000 a tree.
The officer said they could lop the top of the trees, but while the Timbs got a quote for $800 for the lopping they did not proceed.
The officer did not inspect the roots of the trees or dig around, so he did not discover that the roots were rotten, even though the trees looked healthy.
So when the windstorm hit in July 1998, the tree was torn from the ground and crushed Mr Timbs in his bed. The rest of the family were away.
The three judges - Justices Keith Mason, Charles Sheller and David Hodgson - said the council, by taking on itself to advise on the safety of the trees, had accepted a duty of care.
Outside the court, Mrs Timbs said her husband tried to do the right thing by seeking council permission and not chopping the trees down illegally. "He paid the ultimate price for it," she said.
A lawyer for the council, Michael Down, said councils may need to employ experts to conduct tree preservation order inspections, increasing costs for ratepayers. The council is considering a High Court appeal. Its general manager, Russ Pigg, said the judgement could have "serious implications" for all councils.

It Felt Like My Friends
Today, Apple announced Mountain Lion, their next iteration of OS X.
It was a strange product announcement. I had just arrived at the office and was catching up on Twitter when I started seeing guys like Jim Dalrymple and MG Siegler linking to their previews. There was no press event, the news didn't originate from traditional outlets, there weren't even any rumors! As Shawn Blanc said, "I thought it was a joke."
Instead, single influential writers like John Gruber got private one-on-one events with Phil Schiller.
"We're starting to do some things differently," Phil Schiller told Gruber.
Different is right. Apple's launch focused on finding influential niches to get the news out. They didn't want a press release and 500 of the exact same syndicated article – as a matter of fact, of the five or so articles that I've read, not a single one had official statements from Apple.
The result? It felt like my friends were telling me about something cool they got to check out last week.
Apple found writers who could craft their own story, tell something unique and interesting. Quality over quantity.
Companies should pay attention. Instead of trying to copy Apple's old approach by hosting some pretend "big event," bombing the media with press releases, and trying to turn into front page news in every outlet, simply focus on finding the influential people in your community. You may not be the biggest, but if you can find the 10 or so people who care to get your story out to an engaged audience, you win. You can choose be page 3 in the New York Times or you can be front page in your niche.
The non-obvious implication of this is that you make your users feel cared about. Geeks read Gruber because he feels like one of us, not a talking head behind a giant publication. Apple taking the time to care about him makes the biggest company in the world feel like a friend of a friend.
This is how we consume our news today, disintermediated. Major news outlets should be scared. The world is changing.

Dog Attack Criminal Liability
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
Can I Go to Jail if my Dog Attacks Someone?
Under some circumstances a dog bite or attack can lead to more serious consequences than a mere warning or fine. The state and local laws vary, but in general:
- Where the victim dies, a dog owner can sometimes face homicide charges
- Where the dog was trained to kill, fight, or attack, the dog may be considered a deadly weapon
When Can a Dog Owner Face Homicide Charges?
Sometimes, a dog owner can be charged with murder or manslaughter when someone dies as a result of a dog attack. For example:When a dog owner knows that a dog is dangerous but still proceeds to allow it to run loose, the owner may be considered negligent or reckless. If the dog then attacks and kills a person, the owner may be tried for involuntary manslaughter.
In some cases, a dog owner may even be charged with murder when his dog kills someone. For example, where someone knows his dog is trained to kill people, but leaves a gate open when he knows children will be walking by, the dog owner may be charged with second degree murder.
When Can a Dog Owner Face Criminal Assault Charges?
A dog owner can also face criminal assault charges when his dog attacks another person. For example, a dog can be considered a deadly weapon, so you may be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
Are there Other Relevant Criminal Charges Involving Dogs?
Dog owners can face charges of destruction or concealment of evidence if they destroy or conceal a dog after it commits an attack.
Should I Contact an Attorney if My Dog Attacked Someone?
If your dog has killed or seriously injured another person, or if you own a dog that is known to be extremely dangerous or trained to kill, you should contact a criminal defense attorney. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you prepare for any criminal charges that may be levied against you.

A Pilot Study To Evaluate Digital Perfusion in Scleroderma Patients Treated with Oral Treprostinil.

Raynaud's phenomenon and a small vessel obliterative vasculopathy in scleroderma frequently lead to ischemic digital ulcers (DU). Previous studies have demonstrated a therapeutic effect of intravenous prostacyclin analogs for ischemic DU, but oral prostacyclin analogs have had limited success. During a Phase I pharmacokinetic (PK) trial of an oral treprostinil formulation, we sought to quantify changes in perfusion as assessed by laser Doppler imaging (LDI) and to determine whether improvements in perfusion correlated with drug concentration.
Ten patients with scleroderma and a history of recent or active ischemic DU were enrolled into the study. All subjects received oral treprostinil and titrated the dose up to 4mg twice daily (BID) as tolerated over 68 weeks. Assessments were performed when subjects achieved the 2mg and 4mg (or maximally tolerated) doses. Subjects who did not reach a dose of 2 mg BID during the study had assessments performed only at the end of study visit. Eight serial measures of digital perfusion and drug concentration were obtained at each of the 2 study visits. Repeated measures analyses using random effects models were performed using perfusion and skin temperature as dependent variables of interest and perfusion obtained at drug trough, log-transformed drug concentration, visit number, individual timepoints of Doppler assessment at each PK visit, and left/right hand as potential explanatory variables. Covariates with p-values <0.15 were retained in the statistical model.
Ten subjects with a mean age of 44.3 years and mean scleroderma disease duration of 12.2 years were studied. Seventy percent had limited cutaneous scleroderma. Nine subjects tolerated the 2mg BID dose by the first PK visit, and 6 subjects tolerated the 4mg BID dose by the 2nd PK visit. Two subjects completed the study at 0.5mg BID and 1mg BID, respectively. Subjects experienced transient adverse effects typical of prostacyclin therapy: headache, jaw pain, photosensitivity, fatigue, leg pain, nausea, emesis, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and flushing.
Perfusion was positively associated with log-transformed plasma concentration at the 4mg visit (but not the 2mg visit), after adjusting for the individual time points of Doppler assessment at each PK visit (p=0.015). Digital skin temperature was positively associated with log-transformed plasma concentration at the 4mg visit (but not the 2mg visit), after adjusting for the individual time points of Doppler assessment at each PK visit (p=0.013).
An increase in digital perfusion was observed with increased treprostinil blood concentrations, suggesting a dose-response relationship.

About Professor Julius Stone
Julius Stone was Challis Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law at the University of Sydney from 1942 to 1972. He was, and is, recognised internationally as one of the premier legal theorists. His thinking, particularly in the areas of human rights and social justice, profoundly influenced generations of students who went on to make major contributions to the life and culture of Australia, on the Bench, in political life, and in the professions. He died in 1985.
Professor Stone was born on 7 July 1907 in Leeds, Yorkshire, the son of Lithuanian Jewish refugees, and was educated on scholarship at Oxford (BA, BCL, DCL), Leeds (LLM) and Harvard (SJD) Universities. The combination of British and American traditions marked his work throughout. He taught at Harvard, where he was associated with the great American jurist Roscoe Pound, and briefly at Leeds. He was Dean of Law at Auckland University College before being appointed to the University of Sydney Law School.
Professor Stone came to Sydney Law School to assume the Challis Chair in 1942. His appointment was wrapped in controversy driven by the perceived radicalism of his jurisprudential stance, the desire of some to keep the Chair open for candidates in the armed forces, and, it has often been suspected, Stone's identity as a Jew. Nevertheless Stone was appointed, after a stormy debate waged in the newspapers and in Parliament, and punctuated by the resignations of the
Chancellor and two Fellows of the University Senate. Indeed, Stone's appointment was crucial in the evolution of University governance, reinforcing the primacy of academic judgement, vested in the Academic Board, in appointments.
Thus Professor Stone embarked on his long career at Sydney Law School. His output was marked by rigorous research, and he built up a substantial research establishment in a new Department of Jurisprudence and International Law. He was a committed and inspirational teacher as well as being instrumental in founding the Sydney Law Review and the Australian Society for Legal Philosophy.
Professor Stone worked equally in international law and jurisprudence. On the jurisprudential side, he wrote many articles and a trilogy on jurisprudence. His most influential jurisprudential works were The Province and Function of Law (1946) and Precedent and Law: Dynamics of Common Law Growth (1985).
In these works, and indeed throughout his life, he was concerned with the context-bound nature of legal research, the openness of judicial interpretation and how principled means might be found by which judges should exercise their interpretative latitude. He drew heavily on sociology and on a concern for policy in adjudication. He argued strongly for a legal practice that would incorporate, as an integral part, concern for human rights and social justice.
His energy and commitment were equally evident outside the University. During the war, he served on two influential government committees dealing with morale and post-war reconstruction. He had a life-long commitment to Israel, argued through such works as Stand Up and Be Counted (1944). He was a frequent radio commentator on international affairs.
Professor Stone played a crucial role in transforming Australian legal education and has had an enormous influence on a generation of legal scholars and practitioners. He was very influential internationally, effective in, for example, advocating the 'hot line' that linked the leaders of the USA and USSR during the Cold War. The honours he received are too numerous to mention here, but he held long-term Visiting Professorships at Hastings College of Law in California and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Upon his retirement from Sydney Law School in 1972, Professor Stone moved to the University of New South Wales, where he spent a further decade of productive engagement. It was during that time that he wrote Precedent and Law, which was published posthumously in 1985.
Professor Stone's legacy is very much alive in our commitment to rigour in scholarship, breadth and theory in legal education, and concern for human rights and social justice. Even though we may all differ over the answers, the questions Professor Stone was asking – about the role of judges, the significance of policy in judicial interpretation, the place of human rights in law – are still very much with us. Professor Stone's own drive, the importance of the issues
with which he grappled, and at times the limitations of those around him meant that his career at Sydney Law School was not unmoved by controversy. Controversy often surrounds those who make things happen.
Professor Stone's restless and inquiring spirit is perhaps best captured in a favourite quotation, from Rabbu Tarphon, cited by his biographer, Leonie Star:
'It is not for you to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from it.'

There is also a short section about Professor Stone in Rudolph Brasch's
Australian Jews of Today and the Part They Have Played (Stanmore: Cassell Australia, 1977).
The full impact of Julius Stone's teaching is now being felt. Generations of his students, now in judicial and other positions, are reflecting every day his harmonious mixture of legal realism and firm dedication to legal principle.
The Hon. Justice Michael Kirby AC, CMG, High Court of Australia
Julius Stone was quite the best university lecturer I ever heard. His paragraphs had punctuation and his sentences had verbs; and he communicated a high degree of zest and enthusiasm.
The Hon. Gordon Samuels AC, former Governor of New South Wales
He's the only one who got it right, in my view – down to earth, humane, realistic, brilliant.
The Hon. Justice Rosalie S. Abella, Court of Appeal for Ontario
As a law student I had the good fortune to come under the influence of Julius Stone. It was a profound, inspiring and lifelong influence. I am glad to be able to say thank you to Julius by joining in this tribute to his lasting contribution to Jurisprudence and International Law in nations where the rule of law holds sway.
The Hon. Sir Laurence Street AC, KCMG
In establishing the Sydney Law Review, Stone made a major contribution to Australia's legal culture. He worked generously with student editors, sharing his vision and his craft.
The Hon. Justice Bryan Beaumont, Federal Court of Australia
Professor Stone embodied and exemplified a life of thought that thrived in constant dialogue between and across generations. And for him doing jurisprudence was never an insular dialogic enterprise within the Euroamerican tradition.
Professor Upendra Baxi, Professor of Law, University of Warwick
Julius Stone was a lion of international jurisprudence, his influence as a theorist and innovator felt by generations of students and scholars. Reading Stone's many contributions to the sociological interpretation of international law has been an inspiration...

Oh, Inverted World by The Shins
4 Recommendations
lizbarker's recommendation
It took about two years for "Oh, Inverted World" to grow on me - at first I thought it was kind of wussy and boring. But then when I first moved to L.A. I used to come home from work every night and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner on the back porch while listening to "Caring Is Creepy" and "Know Your Onion" and "One By One All Day," and the album totally worked its way into my heart. "New Slang" is classic too, even though now it just makes me think of Zach Braff, about whom I have very complicated and conflicting feelings.
My Collections:
Bording108's recommendation
Oh, Inverted World proves to be another great album from The Shins. It might take some time to grow on you, but in the end it will prove to be a cd worth listening to over and over again. Their indie popness really comes through on songs such as Girl Inform Me and Know Your Onion! (There's a ! in the song title...just by the way)
ttownqt's recommendation
you tube the video for the last song on the album called "the past and pending" and you'll see why i love this album so much. its quiet and understated beauty is sure to charm.

chad's recommendation
If it wasn't for Garden State and the opening track on this album, no one would have ever known who The Shins were. Fortunately, Zach Braff brought us all to them and we haven't looked back. I'm thankful for that.

You can buy a warranty or an extended warranty on just about everything these days.
I usually advise against most of them because I see so many exclusions and warranty companies routinely denying claims. That's what happened to Felice Weiner.
"The house wouldn't cool off," she told me.
It's over 100 degrees outside and inside it wasn't much cooler, but Felice had a home warranty. It was Sensible Home Warranty and she called them. And she called and called.
"I was calling almost daily hoping they'd get tired of me," Felice says.
That's because Felice says Sensible was acting not so sensible.
At first, Felice says she was told by Sensible employees that they couldn't help her "unless you can prove maintenance checks on your A-C for the last 3 years. I did that."
But Sensible found other reasons not to pay, so she let me know.
We found that starting more than two years ago, states like Washington, Oklahoma, Utah and others filed cease-and-desist orders or revoked the license for Sensible Home Warranty. Some of the complaints involved operating in a state without a license, although the business was licensed in Arizona.
Now, we found Sensible Home Warranty appears to be out of business. Its website wishes customers "all the best of luck."
So what happens to those customers?
We took that to the Arizona Department of Insurance.
Four days later, the state issued its own cease-and-desist order listing numerous consumer complaints.
Arizona requires a $100,000 bond for home warranty companies. Felice is applying for part of that.
A Department of Insurance spokesperson tells us "Arizona consumers who have a warranty contract through Sensible Home Warranty and who have unpaid claims can file a complaint with the department."
Make sure to include a copy of your warranty, evidence of your premium payment and all documents related to their unpaid claim.

It would probably help to run htdig with a single '-v' option so that you can
see what page it is working on when it stops. (Make sure you either redirect
the output or run htdig from within 'script' because there will be a single
line per web page and it sounds like you have a lot of pages...)
If all else fails, you could also run indexes on smaller chunks of your tree
and merge them together to get the full index.

About Me
About Voss: Well I guess it all started the first time I went through the second grade. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career."
I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot. - thanks HANSEL haha

US Weekly reported in its latest issue, already on newsstands, that the actress has entered her second trimester with her second baby with actor boyfriend Liev Schreiber.
A new addition into Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber's family is coming soon. The Aussie movie beauty is pregnant with their second child together, US Weekly has revealed.
In its exclusive headline titled "Naomi Watts Is Pregnant," the publication reported that the actress has entered her second trimester. No words from either Watts or Schreiber regarding the pregnancy report. A representative for Watts, meanwhile, also declined to comment, insisted she doesn't comment on her client's personal life.
The full story of Watts' second pregnancy is available on the newest issue of US Weekly, which hits the newsstands now.
Watts and Schreiber met on the set of the 2006 drama-romance "The Painted Veil." They welcomed their first child together, a son named Alexander Pete Schreiber, on July 25, 2007.
Watts was last seen on the big screen, starring in the drama "Eastern Promises." She has just finished filming the action thriller "The International," which is slated for an early 2009 release.

On Display: "Dress Codes" Exhibit At Katonah Museum
Sometimes the phrase "fashion statement" can lose its weight and get lost in translation, as it more often refers to the superficial—the act of wearing something to spur attention or cause shock. We tend to forget that fashion does indeed make statements, and not just about the person who wears it, but about ideologies and the world around us.
The exhibit "Dress Codes: Clothing as Metaphor" at the Katonah Museum of Art in New York aims to remind us not only to view fashion as art, but also through an a cultural lens. According to the gallery description, the show's artists "use clothing to explore a variety of issues ranging from feminine concern, racial stereotyping, and immigration to globalization, current events, and the violence of war. Many of the works explore a number of these subjects concurrently, reflecting the complexity of contemporary life." Phew, all that in a dress? Apparently so. Take, for example, a work by Maureen Connor called "Thinner Than You" that features a dress with such little fabric, it would probably be classified as a size negative eight. Another piece by Ray Beldner shows a man's suit made of U.S. dollars. While the symbolic nature of these pieces is pretty self-explanatory, there are other designs that function on a more aesthetic and abstract level, like musician Nick Cave's "Soundsuit," a totally bizarre tombstone-shaped sheath that covers the entire body. The show goes through October 4th, so if you're in the upstate New York area, check it out! [NY Times "The Moment" Blog, Katonahmuseum.org]

Pigs Peak Pigs granted leave to appeal
Sep 4th
Pigs Peak casino was granted leave to appeal today. This means that the Swaziland based company will be opening their portals shortly to begin trading again in South Africa while they prepare to challenge the recent High Court decision against them.
Warren Whitfield who is the Addiction Action Campaign (AAC) founder and C.E.O. said, "We've called them Pigs because we are aware that since Pigs Peak casino has begun trading in South Africa, they have not paid taxes for any of the billions of Rand's that they have taken from South Africans, nor have they given one cent to gambling addiction treatment or prevention organisations such as AAC. They are operating under grey areas of the law, have milked South Africa of wealth and caused much harm to problem gamblers without giving anything back."
Whitfield said, "This decision will ultimately lead to these grey areas being tightened and hopefully will expose online casinos for the opportunistic ruthless capitalists that they are". Ends

Rainiers Stumble in Extras, 8-6
TACOMA, Wash. – The Tacoma Rainiers fell to the Salt Lake Bees 8-6 in extra innings at Cheney Stadium on Thursday morning.
The Rainiers and Bees were tied at 6-6 until Salt Lake scored an insurmountable two runs on four hits in the top of the 13th inning. Luke Carlin lined a one-out RBI single that drove in Andy Marte for the go-ahead run. Drew Heid added some insurance with another run-scoring single two batters later.
Salt Lake originally held an early 2-0 lead in the third before Tacoma tallied four runs in the bottom of that inning. Ty Kelly brought the Rainiers within a run after he singled home Jesus Sucre with one out, and Carlos Peguero delivered the biggest blow after plating three more with a double.
Abraham Almonte's RBI double in the fourth stretched Tacoma's lead to 5-2 only to have Tommy Field's three-run home run in the fifth tie the game at five runs each.
Almonte hit a solo home run in the sixth - his 11th with Tacoma this season - and gave the Rainiers a brief 6-5 edge that lasted until Tommy Field hit a game-tying sac fly in the top of the seventh.
Reliever Brian Moran (2-5) was dealt the loss after surrendering both of Salt Lake's runs in the 13th on four hits. Starter Andrew Carraway allowed five runs on five hits and struck out two with four walks issued over five innings of work.
The Rainiers (73-66) look to secure a series win and move within three games of first place when the team hosts the final game of a four-game series against Salt Lake (77-62) at 7 p.m. tomorrow, August 28. Right-hander Hector Noesi (3-2, 4.82) is scheduled to start for Tacoma against Bees right-hander Jarrett Grube (7-5, 4.39).

I had Tumescent lipo about a mont ago in chin, arms, abs and inner thighs. I think the doc should have suggested this to be done on two separate days. The problem is asymmetry in all areas. The chin does not look different at all. Al the areas treated feels very lumpy. My mid and upper abs looks very bulgy and asymmetrical. The lower abs is flatter than upper. It will go away? He only took out 2,000 ccs. He told me I need a tummy tuck because the navel is holding the skin. What do you say?
1 Month-Post Op Tumescent Lipo, And Results Are Uneven. Is This My Final Result?
Doctor Answers 5
Liposuction Recovery
Thank you for your question.
Swelling with liposuction generally can take 3-5 months to subside and so at 1 month post op you are not seeing your final results. Please be patient and allow your body to heal properly. Keep in close contact with your surgeon and see how things look at your 3 month post op mark.
Performing a revision is an option if after things heal you are still not satisfied.
I hope this helps.

Too early to judge final result
Too early to judge your final result. Firmness and lumpiness are very common after liposuction of any type. If you are having skin irregularities it is possible that these were pre-existing. It is the soft tissues normal response to trauma. More than likely the swelling is better in the morning when you first wake up and gets worse throughout the day as you go about your normal activities. Light massage is beneficial but in general it just takes time for this to resolve. Look for it to remain about the same for the next three weeks and then begin to get better between the 6 th week and the end of the 3rd month. Continue to wear your compression garment as instructed.
Tumescent Lipo
You should see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to have your skin and fat evaluated and then decide if a TT is your best option. The 2000cc is not an indicator of whether you had a good surgery or not. The right amount of fat removal is important, enough to reduce the size, but not too much to cause laxity or bumpy skin.

One month post-op liposuction
You will have swelling in the treated areas for at least three months. Therefore it is difficult to evaluate your result at this time. I would suggest you make sure that your surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. A well trained plastic surgeon should be able to evaluate you before surgery and tell you if a tummy tuck or liposuction will be needed, not after he has already performed the procedure.
You are still swallen, wait for 3 months. then reevaluate.
If you had skin laxity in the upper abdomen and gotten worse after liposuction, it probably will remain so. The decision for liposuction or tummy tuck needs to be done before the surgery. The laxity in the skin should have been discussed with you prior to surgery.
That is why we keep emphasizing the importance of choosing the doctor carefully, and not base your decision on price.
repair of liposuction problems is difficult and expensive

Although modern forms of government now prevail in many areas of the
world, the ideals of democracy are often deeply compromised. This semester
at the University at Albany, six internationally recognized speakers-writers,
scholars, policy experts, and labor organizers-will address cracks in
democracy and the attempts to heal them in South Africa, Latin America,
and the U.S. in the lecture series "Cultures of Conflict and Reconciliation."
The series, sponsored by UAlbany's Department of English and made possible
by a grant from the Dibner Fund, begins Tuesday, Feb. 6. As with the
other five lectures through May 1, it will be held from 7 to 9 p.m.
in the Chapel House on the Uptown Campus Perimeter Road. Barbara Harlow
of the Department of English at the University of Texas, Austin, will
deliver the first of two lectures on "South Africa: Beyond Apartheid."
Harlow, the author of Resistance Literature; Barred: Women, Writing,
and Political Detention and After Lives: Legacies of Revolutionary
Writing, will discuss "Women as Legitimate Targets" in South Africa.
A reception will follow her talk.
Cultures of Conflict and Reconciliation speaks to the interdisciplinary
work of the New Humanities, according to Rosemary Hennessy, professor
of English and coordinator of the series. "The series will focus on
cultural forms that are interlaced with these social crises within democracies
and the practices of reconciliation that have been devised to redress
"The state plays a major role in mediating social conflict, at times
by force-through arrests or warfare--or by negotiation-through commissions,
treaties, or new governing structures. Both make use of and spawn narratives
and rituals aimed at reconciling what have been at times massive, deep,
and violent cracks in democracy. These conflicts are often played out
in class, nationalist, religious, and racial terms. Reconciliation takes
various shapes and employs a variety of cultural mechanisms."
A second lecture on South Africa after Apartheid, dealing with "AIDS,
Witchcraft, and the Problem of Public Power in Post-Apartheid South
Africa," will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 20. Adam Ashforth, visiting associate
professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study and
a historian of the politics, and culture of South Africa, will deliver
the talk. His recent book, Madumo, A Man Bewitched (University
of Chicago Press), documents the struggle of a young Sowetan against
the curse of witchcraft.
Other lectures in the series:
The U.S. in Latin America:
March 6 -- "Health and Safety Are Not a Request, They Are A Right!:
Workers Speak Back to NAFTA." Speaker: Martha Ojeda, a labor organizer
who led a wildcat strike of 5,000 workers at SONY in 1994, and now executive
director of the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras.
March 20 -- "'Reconciliation' and 'Impunity' in Post-Pinochet Chile:
The Struggle for Justice and Collective Memory After the Celebrated
'Neoliberal Revolution'" Speaker: Fernando Leiva, a Chilean political
economist, and a new member of UAlbany's Department of Latin American
and Caribbean Studies. His research focuses on how particular economic
ideas and policies transform class and gender relations in economies
undergoing sustained processes of internationalization.
Assessing State Power and the Meaning of Reconciliation in the U.S.:
April 17 -- "The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity
and Accountability." Speaker: Peter Kornbluh, director of the National
Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project, led the campaign to
declassify official documentation of U.S. government support for the
Pinochet regime. He is the editor of Bay of Pigs Declassified: The
Secret CIA Report on the Invasion of Cuba and author of the forthcoming
book, The Pinochet File.
May 1 -- "Prison Intellectuals and the Limits of U.S. Democracy." Speaker:
Joy James, professor of African American studies at Brown University.
She is author of Resisting State Violence: Radicalism, Gender & Race
in US Culture and Transcending the Talented Tenth: Black Leaders
and American Intellectuals; Shadowboxing: Representations of Black Feminist
Politics. She is currently working with U.S. political prisoners
on a book project.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello. I believe I can be of help to you with this issue.
I have to speculate that he is doing more than simply befriending women. If it was simply trying to seek out opportunities to be friendly and helpful, he would be putting equal effort into befriending men or elderly people. Is his pursuit of opportunities to be helpful free of any gender preference?
I think you and I both know that the explanation your husband is giving you for seeking out platonic friends (on Craigslist I presume and other sites (?)) is a transparent rationalization. Of COURSE he is seeking an emotional affair or more, with these women. he is simply trying to whitewash over his actions. There is no such thing as harmless flirting when you actively seek out opportunities to interact with other women and flirt.
I hate to say this but if your husband is doing this sort of thing and it is only somewhat past year 1 of your marriage, it could well be that you two do not actually share the same, core values about marriage and monogamy. Let me toss out the idea that your husband's version of monogamy goes something like this: "I expect my wife to be monogamous and not ever cheat; and I will promise to do likewise, except if I get the urge, I can quietly act 'as if' I am a single guy, through my alter ego. I am entitled to do this; and if caught, I'll make it my wife's 'problem' by accusing her of making something out of nothing, of invading my privacy, etc." I would speculate that he held this core belief regarding a monogamy double-standard going into your marriage. His honest, deepest belief is in a quasi-polygamous relationship with a woman. I will advance this idea based again, on the fairly shocking fact that he is doing this only a year or so into your marriage.
I wonder what would happen if you told your husband you have given thought to his suggestion about harmless flirting and that "ignorance is bliss". So you have decided that you would like to reserve one night per week to go to some clubs to meet up with some guy friends for a few drinks and dancing; it is all harmless fun of course---just platonic friends having a good time. What do you think?
I think people put the principle of a fully monogamous marriage at risk (if this is what they truly value), if each partner spends a lot of time pursuing "friendship" relationships with members of the opposite sex. This is because such friendships can very easily evolve into sexual relationships. What is a rational approach to this is when couples agree to have such friends jointly i.e., you would be included in all meetings or conversations with a mutual, female friend---but no one-on-one meetings. If your husband was TRULY interested in ONLY having an intellectually meaningful friendship, he would have no objection to including you in the relationship. I suspect he would object to including you, however.
So the difficult issue you face is that you did in fact, marry a guy who has different core values than you do regarding monogamy. I would be wiling to bet money that in a year or two or three, you will discover he has cheated on you. This is because behind his rationalizations about wanting 'intellectual" or 'platonic" friends, he is pursuing women rather than men, to satisfy this desire, and this almost certainly implies sexual interest in the women as well. The hard part for you to consider is that his core beliefs more squarely align with a quasi-polygamous marriage, than a fully monogamous marriage. That's it. You have to decide if this is o.k. with you. What will you do if, knowing this value system, you discover he has been or will eventually have an emotional or sexual affair?
You may want to ask him to get into marital therapy even if your insurance won't cover it. The insurance may cover treatment for something like depression for one of you---and this is normally used as a mechanism to receive couples therapy. You may be able to ask your parents or his, if they can help fund some marital therapy sessions or you may have to take out a short term loan to pay for it. But this isn't a problem you can resolve on your own. Your husband simply holds fundamentally different values than you do regarding marriage. You can keep the marriage together if you are willing to put up with more emotional affairs, and probably sexual ones, down the road. Your husband won't admit that this is where his behavior will lead him, but he is fooling himself and being dishonest with you about it. Again, his values are that being married means that it is o.k. for the guy to have semi-polygamous relationships and his wife must accept this if she wants to stay married to him. You've not been married that long so he held these core values prior to getting married and simply didn't tell you about what his true beliefs and values are. The only other rational explanation for the behavior is that he has discovered, 2 years into this marriage, that he may not want to stay married to you long term and is quietly "looking'" for an alternative relationship; and once he tries out enough emotional or sexual affairs, he will eventually decide whether to stay or leave the marriage. The unfair and selfish part of this of course, is that he may expect you to sit around, remain monogamous, while he figures out whether he wants to be married to you long term, or whether something better might come along during the coming months or years. But he is wanting to hang onto the marriage until he finds out. Again, this is royally unfair to you, if this is what is happening.
Another unspoken value he may hold is that he is doing you a favor staying married to you and has a right to have these exciting 'new' flirtatious emotional affiars on the side. He married a woman who was single and had two kids and he may figure that you need this relationship more than he does and thus, you'll put up with his marital values, such as they are. So he may hold the rather arrogant belief that he 'rescued' you from being a lonely, single parent, believing that other men would likely shy away from you since you already had kids; so you'll likely put up with this behavior, rather than leave.
What do you think?
