Ohio State Reformatory (place)
Return to Ohio State Reformatory (place)
The Ohio State Reformatory is a defunct [prison] located in [Mansfield, Ohio], a small city about halfway between [Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland] (to the northeast) and [Columbus, Ohio|Columbus] (to the southwest). It was in operation, in a variety of different security levels, from [1896] until [1990], when it was closed by a federal court ruling. Its main claim to fame is as the setting for the classic film [The Shawshank Redemption].
Construction and beginnings
Planning for construction and land acquisition began in the late 1860s. The state of [Ohio] purchased forty acres of farmland situated in Mansfield, a small town that was then in the [Richland County, Ohio|middle of nowhere], and set it aside to build the prison on. Construction began in 1886 and was slow to complete, finishing twenty-four years later, in 1910. The complex was big—four massive, towering cell blocks, a central administration building situated at the apex of the cell blocks, and extensive workshops covered most of the grounds. A 25-foot (7.6 meters) high stone wall enclosed the entire area. Railroad tracks were routed adjacent to the prison to allow for incoming and outgoing supply and distribution of the works created by the inmates in the workshops.
Today only two of the original four cell blocks remain standing. The East and West Blocks stand six stories high and contain some 1200 cells. To this day they are the tallest free-standing cell blocks in the world. None of the workshops remain; they, along with the North and South Blocks were demolished in the early 1990s.
Though there were surely a number of trade workshops on the premises, I speak authoritatively on only one of them: the furniture and [wood shop]. Various benches, staircases, [bannister]s and [balustrade]s crafted by OSR inmates are on display in the office areas today. What is left of the complex has since 1995 been a museum managed by the [http://www.mrps.org/|Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society].
Architect [Levi T. Scofield] of Cleveland, a student of the [Romanesque] school, designed the facility and [F. F. Schnitzer] oversaw its construction. Both their names appear on the [cornerstone], which is located just outside the main office entrance. The initial investment was $1.3 million in 1884, which is analogous to $31.1 million in 2010.
The decades of construction were mostly carried out by the inmates themselves, under the supervision of a cadre of corrections officers and the aforementioned F. F. Schnitzer. The incomplete prison was opened on September 15, 1896, but funding problems contributed significantly to the delay in finishing the structures. It was finally opened in full on September 17, 1910.
Crime and punishment
OSR was intially an actual [reformatory]—that is, somewhere that young, minor criminals and mostly first-time offenders were sent for sentences of a few months to a few years for petty crimes. Once incarcerated there, the inmates were taught trade skills and indoctrinated with religious dogma in the government's hope that they would lead a productive life after their release.
That changed in 1930, when OSR was converted into a [maximum security] prison. The demand for maximum security prisons was rising during the [Great Depression] as desperate people turned to crime to assuage their financial woes. Though the four cell blocks at OSR were designed to hold 2400 inmates (600 in each block), over 3500 were eventually stuffed into the tiny cells (approximately 6x8 feet/1.8x2.4 meters each), with three or four inmates sharing a cell intended for a single person or two in a pinch. As any could surely imagine, this lead to extremely cramped and unsanitary conditions, but no one seemed to care until [1978] (by which time the prison population had shrunk to "only" 2200 inmates), when the [Counsel for Human Dignity], a coalition of civil and church organizations, filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the inmates on the basis of their basic [human rights] being violated by living in such brutal conditions.
The 1978 federal case was the beginning of the end for OSR. In 1990, it was shut down by order of the [Boyd Consent Decree], issued in 1983 and the subject of much legal wrangling during the 1980s. By 1986, OSR officials began closing down cell blocks over the next few years. In December 1990, the last block closed and the inmates were transferred elsewhere.
Shit just got real
Like any other prison, OSR had its share of violence. Despite the severe overcrowding, only one [prison riot|riot] seems to have occurred, with the rest of the incidents apparently isolated.
Here's a handy bulleted list of such incidents:
Modern day
Since the 1970s, movies and television shows have been filmed at OSR. Since its closure, use of the prison as a set has increased.
Music videos:
Both the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFjHPMT2owg|WWE] and [Marilyn Manson] have made promotional photoshoots and videos at OSR.
OSR has attained such noteriety from its starring role in [The Shawshank Redemption] that it has pictorial plaques hanging in various areas which depict scenes from the movie in the places they were actually filmed, including the warden's office; the foyer with the staircase [Tim Robbins|Andy Dufresne] and [Bob Gunton|Warden Norton] walk down while Andy is trying to convince the warden to give him funds for the construction of a [prison library]; [James Whitmore|Brooks]' (and later [Morgan Freeman|Red]'s) apartment in the [halfway house] which is actually on the prison grounds; the solitary confinement cell Andy was held in and the adjacent solitary corridor; the prison library; the parole office Red visits at the beginning, middle and end of the film; the "[bullpen]" area in which the newly-arrived prisoners are introduced to the warden; the showers where [[Mark Rolston|Bogs] introduces himself to Andy; and the cell in which [Bill Bolender|Elmo Blach] describes killing [Renee Blaine|Andy's wife]. This last bit, Blach's cell, was the only scene in the movie filmed in one of OSR's non-solitary cells. The large open room full of cells seen in the movie was actually purpose-built in a disused [Westinghouse] factory a few miles down the road from OSR. Also on display are some props from Shawshank, including the sewage pipe (which is actually made of wood and is free-standing, not subterranean) and the hole in the wall that once housed Norton's safe.
A public address system outside plays the Shawshank score and soundtrack on a loop all day long. It really adds to the whole Shawshank experience. You feel almost like you're in the movie. It's really cool.
Also on display are the murals of [Vladimir Lenin] and [Josef Stalin] that were used in [Air Force One], seen in the prison scenes. OSR stands in for the Russian prison holding the renegade General [Jürgen Prochnow|Ivan Radek]. Additionally, there's a cell painted gold on display that was used in a hip hop video (I'm not sure which one).
The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society operates guided and self-guided tours of the complex during Ohio's warmer months. Tickets for the self-guided tour can be purchased in the office on-site and they will sell to walk-in guests without reservations. The guided tours are part of the overnight [Ghost Hunters|ghost hunt] packages, which are so popular that they must be reserved a year in advance.
The whole place is in pretty bad shape—[lead paint] chips litter much of it after having peeled and fallen off the walls. Most of the exposed metal is rusty. Many windows are absent, though the MRPS is installing new windows in the cell blocks at a cost of about $10,000 apiece (they're very large; about five stories tall), and a new roof to replace the leaking and dilapidated roof that's been in place since OSR's opening in 1896.
I attended the OSR ghost hunt in June 2012. It involves an overnight stay and access to almost all of the prison that still stands. The lights are all turned off in the areas of the tour. The night I was there had sold out the previous November, and despite 50 or so other people present, OSR is large enough to allow for a good deal of separation from other people or groups. My girlfriend and I brought cameras and [digital voice recorder]s, but didn't capture anything [paranormal] in any medium. We were told by one of the organizers that the short-lived [The Syfy Channel|Syfy] show "[Ghost Hunters Academy]" spent a week filming on location at OSR. Out of that week, they got only about twelve seconds of usable, debatably paranormal audio recordings and video. While OSR is undoubtedly creepy and exactly the sort of place one would expect to encounter something paranormal, I experienced nothing that made me think it was [haunted]. Others have told me about their experiences there, but when it comes to the paranormal, seeing is believing. [Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof], after all.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend paying OSR a visit, particularly if you enjoyed [The Shawshank Redemption]. It's guaranteed to be the best time you'll ever have in a prison.
OSR was added to the [National Register of Historic Places] in 1983. [Gates Brown], a [Major League Baseball] player for the [Detroit Tigers] in the 1960s and 70s, served a year in 1958-59 for burglary, prior to his baseball career. In 1989, [Kevin Mack] of the [National Football League]'s [Cleveland Browns] served a month on drug charges.
The [Richland Correctional Institution], opened in [1998], now stands on some of the former OSR grounds, directly behind what remains of OSR. It houses approximately 2500 inmates, mostly minimum and medium security. It can be seen from any north-facing window within OSR. A placard next to each of these windows declares that photographing the RCI in any context is strictly prohibited.
As for the future, the MRPS hopes to restore the whole facility one day. They rely on donations and selling tickets to ghost hunts and tours to pay for renovations.
I had never set foot in a prison, operational or otherwise, before I visited OSR. It was a pretty strange but simultaneously thrilling experience. I can't imagine [what jail is like|what it must have been like] to be incarcerated there at any time in its history. All the cells are tiny and paint chips, rust and dust have had their way with the place. Birds and bats nest in various rooms. But it's extremely creepy at night, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, it's a great time.

Tell us, President Obama, about your foreign policy.
"We've got to make sure that we reduce our deficit ... by cutting out spending we don't need but also asking the wealthiest to pay a little bit more. That way we can invest in the research and technology that's always kept us at the cutting edge."
Thank you, Mr. President. And your foreign policy, Governor Romney?
"I know what it takes to create 12 million new jobs and rising take-home pay. ... We're going to do it by taking full advantage of oil, coal, gas, nuclear and our renewables."
Obama spoke of the domestic auto industry. Romney spoke of teachers unions. Obama spoke of education funding. Romney spoke of small businesses. Obama spoke of tax deductions. Romney spoke of Medicaid.
"Let me get back to foreign policy," moderator Bob Schieffer proposed at one point during the exchange. It was, after all, supposed to be the all-foreign-policy debate, 90 minutes chock full of international affairs.
"Well -- " Romney protested.
"Can I just get back -- " the courtly Schieffer persisted.
"Well, I need to speak a moment if you'll let me, Bob, just about education."
Schieffer surrendered. "OK."
There was a problem with having this last of three presidential debates focus on the candidates' clashing worldviews. For all the smoke and heat, there isn't much difference between the Obama and Romney foreign policies in most key areas.
On Israel: "I want to underscore the same point the president made, which is that if I'm president of the United States, when I'm president of the United States, we will stand with Israel," Romney said, concurring with Obama.
On opposing Hosni Mubarak in Egypt: "I felt the same as the president did," Romney affirmed.
On drone warfare: "I support that entirely and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology," the challenger asserted.
Obama, in turn, was pleased to observe that "Governor Romney agrees with the steps that we're taking" on Iran.
This is not to say they didn't quarrel about matters overseas. There is such a palpable dislike between Romney and Obama, and they are locked in such a tight race, that they could fill 90 minutes bickering about the weather.
Obama was the more aggressive candidate Monday night, glaring at his opponent. "You seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s."
The president suggested that "every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong," and chided Romney for regarding military spending as a "game of 'Battleship'" because of the Republican's criticism that the Navy has fewer ships than it had in 1916. "Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets," the president needled.
Romney's approach was more of a balance: He had the head of a neocon (many of his advisers are hawkish veterans of the Bush-Cheney years) but the body of a realist on foreign policy. At one point he would give a chest-thumping lecture about how "it's essential for a president to show strength from the very beginning," but would then get to a reality with more nuance: "I don't want to have our military involved in -- in Syria ... at this stage."
Romney embraced the neocon view of bending the world to American wishes, creating "civil societies" and promising to show Russia's Vladimir Putin "more backbone."
But the repeated efforts by both men to return to domestic disputes made clear their acceptance that the contest, now a dead heat, is not about the world.
Romney informed viewers about his college scholarship program in Massachusetts.
"That happened before you came into office," Obama retorted.
"That was actually mine," Romney insisted.
"I want to try to shift it," Schieffer pleaded, "because we have heard some of this in the other debates."
Viewers would hear it again on Monday night. Romney spoke of his balanced budgets in Massachusetts. Obama complained about Romney's faulty budget math and accused him of undermining the auto industry.
"I was born in Detroit," Romney protested. "My dad was head of a car company. I like American cars."
The car lover then shifted topics -- back to education. "I love teachers," he said. "I was a governor. The federal government didn't hire our teachers. But I love teachers."
The thwarted Schieffer brought the foreign policy debate to a close. "I think we all love teachers," he said.
Milbank: No debating foreign policy

Dispelling years of anecdotes in travelogues, the popular press, and scholarly works, biologists from the University of Bristol argue that it is nearly impossible for elephants to become intoxicated from eating the fruit of the marula tree.
"Elephants display many behavioral characteristics viewed as positive traits in humans, often causing us to identify with them in anthropomorphic ways," write Steve Morris, David Humphreys, and Dan Reynolds in a forthcoming paper in Physiological and Biochemical Zoology. "The tipsy pachyderm [is] a view bolstered perhaps by a mutual desire for the fruits of the marula tree."
Based on reports of elephants accessing stores of wine or beer, the three-ton mammals clearly have a taste for alcohol. They also have a demonstrated fondness for marula fruit, gathering around trees when the fruit is in season. Fallen marula fruit may naturally ferment to an ethanol content of approximately 3 percent after three or four days.
However, elephants have shown a clear preference for marula fruit still on the tree. Disregarding a large fruit pit, the metabolism of alcohol over time, and the unlikeliness of total ethanol absorption, a three-ton elephant gorging itself quickly on nothing but marula fruit would still be hard-pressed to ingest enough ethanol to reach a blood alcohol content indicative of inebriation.
"Assuming all other model factors are in favour of inebriation, the intoxication would minimally require that the elephant avoids drinking water, consumes a diet of only marula fruit at a rate of at least 400 percent normal maximum food intake, and with a mean alcohol content of at least 3 percent," write the authors.
Instead, the authors posit that an intoxicant other than alcohol may be responsible for "tipsy" behavior. Elephants also eat the bark of the marula tree, which is home to a beetle pupae traditionally used to poison arrow tips.
Morris, Steve, David Humphreys, and Dan Reynolds. "Myth, marula and elephant: An assessment of voluntary ethanol intoxication of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) following feeding on the fruit of the marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) " Physiological and Biochemical Zoology 78:6.

Winnie Reviews: Kitty Pryde @ Fortune Sound
Kitty Pryde is one hot mess of an act.
She's "been a bitch since 97", and hails from Daytona Beach… but I wouldn't count on that being legitimate information, her branding is frustratingly inconsistent. "But that's the point, doy" — yes, thanks for making it easier for us.
The show was good, and it helps that she is damn cute. Missing tones, screwing up, and acting unprofessional on stage are all part of the act; it was quite charming. Kitty is definitely doing her best to hit a specific micro-demographic and hoping it will spread… and hey, Nardwuar seems to have taken a liking to her.
It's simple, Kitty Pryde is one of those artists you'll love or hate. Which one are you?

Ay Shawty – Kitty (aka Kitty Pryde) Feat. Lakutis
After blowing up -and blowing Danny Brown- last year, my white girl counter part is back, except now she just goes by Kitty. Rawr.
Her new single "Ay Shawty" showcases Kitty's dream-like rhymes about love and the opposite sex, a trait that garners her as much admiration as hate.
Watch out for her "D.A.I.S.Y. Age" EP, which is expected to drop on January 31.

Kitty Pryde – Haha I'm Sorry EP
I like to think of Kitty Pryde as my white girl counterpart, especially after her recent rendezvous with Danny Brown. Although word is still out on her career's longevity, she's doing wonders for the international ginger movement. Moreover, the girl's got some pretty dope oneliners about Frank Ocean and the side effects of detoxing from Adderall.

A line of people with guns formed in front of the midtown Tucson police station well before the 9 a.m. starting time for the buyback. At a command post in the parking lot, officers checked weapons to make sure they hadn't been stolen or used in a crime, and took the guns. The people who turned them in got a $50 Safeway gift card for every gun — money donated by the grocery chain and by private contributors.

Satellite TV service for mobile phones
Page Tools
South Korea has launched trial operations of the world's first satellite-based television service for mobile phone users.
The system, using technology developed by Japan's Toshiba Corp., allows mobile phone users in cars, trains or on street corners to watch high-definition digital TV programing by satellite.
After a four-month trial, TU Media Corp., 30 percent owned by South Korea's top mobile carrier SK Telecom, says it will begin commercial services in early May.
"Our services, the world's first for mobile phones, mark a turning point in the telecom industry," TU Media spokesman Heo Jae-young said today.
For the commercial service, TU Media would provide 14 video and 24 audio channels with a data channel scheduled for next year, he said.
"We aim to attract eight million subscribers by 2010 with one billion dollars in revenue," Heo said.
The system, called satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), emerged as a result of efforts by telecom companies to develop new revenue sources by combining mobile communication networks with video broadcasts.
"The mobile television business will create a new boom for the domestic market for gadgets," Heo said, adding the company plans to sell related services and equipment abroad.
Samsung Electronics unveiled a new DMB mobile phone featuring a 2.2-inch screen and a battery capable of providing more than two hours of viewing time. The model is priced at 850,000 won ($US805).
South Korea has emerged as a global leader in digital technology, with the information communications sector representing a crucial part of the economy.
The country leads the world in broadband internet and mobile phone penetraton. There are 36.6 million mobile phone subscribers in South Korea, accounting for 76 percent of the population.
However, the country's 19 trillion won wireless telecom market approached saturation last year, prompting firms to turn their eyes to new services such as broadband-based television and wireless Internet services.
SK Telecom and its Japanese partner Mobile Broadcasting launched the world's first satellite for mobile television broadcasts in March last year.
Mobile television services are designed to beam digital television, audio and data broadcasts to handheld devices via satellite or land-based television airwaves.
Broadcasting companies and cable operators here are competing for six licences for the terrestrial mobile television services that will be allocated in March.

That issue? Affordability, of course. Over the past five or six years in the province's hot real estate market, prices of new and resale homes have skyrocketed. As a result, young couples and empty-nesters have often found themselves on the outside looking in, unable to acquire a new home that, unlike so many older resale homes, won't cost them thousands of dollars to renovate.
Newman, Greenberg & Associates' Barry Greenberg said there is now an opportunity to buy a new home for under $200,000 in Hayley Common, a condominium complex located just outside the southeast city limits in Ile des Chenes on Old Highway 59.
"I'm so excited about this project because I now have the ability to offer people a chance at buying a new, high-quality home for under $200,000," he said. "The developers, Asher Developments, have been providing quality, affordable residential options for southern Manitoba (mainly in the Steinbach area) since 2001. They're now bringing one of their condominium developments to Ile des Chenes."
To control costs, Asher has gone the wood-frame route. However, the units, which range in size from 1,038 square feet to 1,078 sq. ft., feature modern wood-frame construction, which differs markedly from the poorly built wood-frame apartment and condominium complexes, mostly built in the late 1970s and early to mid-1980s, that offer little in the way of sound-dampening technology.
"The walls consist of two-by-four construction with staggered studs, a sound bar and R12 insulation," said Asher Developments' Joshua Friesen. "We've also put double-layer drywall between floors with a sound bar, R20 Roxal insulation and an inch of gypcrete to further dampen sound. There's also more than 24 inches between the ceiling of one unit and the floor of the other above. The building and suites won't be as quiet as a concrete building, but they'll be close."
Though construction quality is important, the interior quality of suites is equally important, as the two elements, when combined, determine a unit's livability quotient. The display suite viewed -- The Oakland, a 1,066 sq.-ft., two-bedroom unit -- is eminently livable, thanks to a thoughtful floor plan, tasteful, high-quality finishes and a series of well-placed windows.
"We try to think out the design of each unit as much as possible," said David Tooth, Friesen's partner at Asher Developments. "In the case of this unit, we learned from our previous design (the 1,038-sq.-ft. Ashland model) and added a larger window to the living-room area and put in a large, sliding patio door off the dining room. That made not only for a brighter main living area, but for access out to a patio off the dining room, a great feature for entertaining."
Greenberg noted another feature further enhances the livability in the great-room area.
"The ceilings here are actually nine feet high," he said. "An eight-foot ceiling would have worked fine, but going that extra foot adds to the feeling of space and allows more natural light to flow through the dining room, living room and kitchen. Joshua and David possess an attention to detail that most developers don't have; it makes a real difference in how livable the units are."
Livability is also derived from finishing quality, and the units in Hayley Common don't disappoint there, either. The kitchen comes equipped with a nine-foot island with double sink, storage space beneath and seating for four. Cabinetry is a durable dark-brown melamine veneer, while countertops are a sharp-looking off-white laminate. Aisle space, at four-feet, is ample between the island and stove.
Flooring running through the kitchen, living room and dining room is dark laminate oak, and a taupe faux-tile backsplash adds style to the kitchen, as do stainless-look Frigidaire appliances (fridge, stove and dishwasher). An earth-tone paint palette perfectly complements the warm finishes.
"Not only do you get nice finishes here, but there aren't any extras. The flooring, cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances and even window coverings are all included in the price of the unit. There's no haggling over upgrades here."
To top things off, layout of the units is excellent. In the case of The Oakland, the two bedrooms were placed at opposite corners, with a four-piece bath (with deep soaker tub) placed adjacent to the second bedroom. The master suite, located at the rear of the unit, is an especially well-designed space, he added.
"The bedroom, which is a good size, has a door to a covered patio, a feature that not many units have," Greenberg said. "A large window lets in more natural light, while a hallway (with transom window) takes you to a big walk-in closet and an ensuite with a low-step-over shower, a great feature if you're a senior or have mobility issues. Best of all, the master suite will be next to 60 feet of park-type space that will make for a nice view and peaceful atmosphere."
Now in the third phase of development (already 80 per cent sold) with four more buildings to come, Hayley Common, with prices starting at $164,900 and condominium fees starting at $115, is a viable new home option for young couples and empty-nesters alike.
"It's a great place to get started in owning your own home, or as an affordable home to downsize into," he said. "The value and quality that these suites offer is second to none."

Hey all.

I just did upgrade of my earlier alpha to latest one.

1. Installer still didn't fit into 1024x600 - bad

1a. Installer looks good! :)

2. Small glitches in select inputs (source/ports one) - probably xorg-intel issue.

3. Installer found my 8.0 alpha and propose to upgrade.

Also installer found my other UFS disk and show it as "FreeBSD" :).

How about separate real FreeBSD disks, and general UFS disks.

For example disk with real FreeBSD will show up like "FreeBSD".

And plain UFS disk/partition will show up like "FreeBSD capable".

4. After upgrade installer show error 1.

5. Upgrade didn't save the logs, maybe because my tmpfs? :D How about store upgrade logs and cfg somewhere in /root/sysinstall-`date`.log ?

6. My disks detected now as ad3 and ad2, and I have no other ad0/ad1 at all. Weird :)

To Help You Enjoy Your Designing Endeavors Selection...
When hanging your wreath outside, the
ideal location is in an area that is somewhat sheltered and away from the
elements. Prolonged, direct sunlight will considerably shorten the lifespan of
your wreath. Likewise, you want to avoid
placing your wreath near a heater or fireplace. If you live in a climate that freezes and
thaws, the fresh fruits of your Renaissance wreath naturally cannot
sustain these conditions, and are thus better suited for indoor placement.

How Do I
Care For My Renaissance Wreath?
Because your wreath is fresh foliage, it requires special
care in order that it may last as long as possible. If you live in a warm climate or place your
wreath(s) indoors, we suggest spraying the evergreen base with water, carefully
avoiding any dehydrated fruit. An easy way to accomplish this, is to spray the
wreath from behind. Watering is recommended as often as possible. Your wreath
will remain vibrant if watered at least every other day. If you live in a colder climate, and your
wreath is outdoors, watering should not be necessary.
You do not have to be as careful with
the evergreen wreaths since they are not embellished with any material that
requires special care. If you live in a warm climate or place your fresh wreath
indoors, be sure to keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight. You may want to
water your wreath first thing before hanging and thanks to its hardiness you
may dunk, hose, spritz, or spray it without worry thereafter. You cannot
overwater, and your Designing Endeavors wreath will be happiest if it gets a
drink at least every other day. If, however, you live in a cold climate and
place your wreath outdoors, it is not necessary to continue watering the wreath
after its initial freshening. Likewise, the cold weather should keep it fresh.
How Long Will My Wreath Last?
As with any fresh floral product, your
wreath has a certain life expectancy. Under
ideal conditions and with proper care (See How
to care for wreath), your Designing Endeavors creation will continue to look vibrant
throughout the holiday season.
I See A Wreath On Your Website. Can I Be Assured Of Receiving The Same One?
What makes Designing Endeavors collection
unique is that each piece is individually created by an artist who interprets
our Renaissance signature style in their own way.

Modified OM private placement exemption announced to facilitate early stage financing
On December 20, 2012, the Canadian Securities Administrators, excluding Ontario and British Columbia, announced that they would be publishing harmonized interim local orders to provide exemptions from certain disclosure requirements relating to the use of the "OM exemption" under NI 45-106 and the use of Form 45-106F2 Offering memorandum for non-qualifying issuers. This new "OM-form exemption" is intended to facilitate capital raising for early stage and other small and medium sized businesses. The harmonized interim local orders will not apply in Ontario or B.C. The OM exemption was never available in Ontario and neither the OSC nor the BCSC are party to the multilateral staff notice. Local orders have now been issued in most of the participating jurisdictions.
Among other limitations, the OM-form exemption will not be available to issuers who are reporting issuers (either in a jurisdiction of Canada or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction) or to investment funds, mortgage investment entities or those engaged in the real estate business.
Specifically, the orders will exempt certain types of private issuers, under certain circumstances, from the requirements to use Canadian GAAP applicable to publicly accountable enterprises and to provide audited financial statements in order to rely on the current OM exemption. To qualify for the new OM-form exemption, issuers will have to limit the aggregate amount raised under the exemption to $500,000 and the distributions to an individual in reliance of the exemption may not exceed $2,000 in a 12-month period. The issuer will also have to include prescribed language regarding the risk of such investments on the face page of each offering memorandum used in reliance of this exemption.
According to the staff notice, the exemption orders are not intended to address securities-based crowdfunding. That said, the staff notice states that the contemplated disclosure requirements under the U.S. JOBS Act crowdfunding exemption "seem similar" to those under the CSA's exemption. As we've discussed in the past, Ontario is currently engaged in its own review of potential prospectus exemptions, with a consultation paper on the subject currently out for comment.
Interesting to note in relation to this new "OM-form exemption" is the strict limitation imposed on participation to no greater than $2,000 per purchaser over a 12-month period, marking a clear departure from the approach of the existing OM exemption under NI 45-106. The existing OM exemption limits participation to no greater than $10,000 (in any one transaction rather than over any period) and provides an exemption from such monetary limitation entirely if the purchaser is an "eligible investor". In effect, it would appear that the applicable CSA members have implicitly valued the incremental risk to purchasers associated with the lack of audited financial statements and Canadian GAAP compliance. It remains to be seen if they have struck the right balance, which will be borne out by its usage. In light of the restrictive $2,000 subscription threshold, it will be interesting to see if issuers will find the new "OM-form exemption" a feasible capital-raising alternative, necessitating as it does a significantly broader participation than under the existing OM exemption and with no ability to look to one or two key investors to effectively backstop a capital raise.
The CSA have invited comment on the sufficiency of the OM-form exemption until February 20, 2013. The interim orders will be valid until December 20, 2014 and the participating CSA members intend to monitor the use of the orders to determine the scope of any further possible changes. For more information, see Multilateral CSA Notice 45-311.

Management of Advanced/Metastatic Prostate Cancer: 2000 Update
Management of Advanced/Metastatic Prostate Cancer: 2000 Update
Drs. Hussain and Dawson provide a scholarly review of the management of advanced and hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Their review focuses on the new rather than the old, providing us with an in-depth discussion of the molecular biology of the disease and describing some promising discoveries.
Hormonal therapy, as currently administered, produces a dramatic response followed by a disappointing progression. Can we alter the grim prognosis of advanced prostate cancer by using novel agents, by delivering hormonal therapy earlier in the course of the disease, or by using innovative means such as intermittent therapy? Most likely we will, but not imminently. Meanwhile we need to ask, what is the status of management for advanced prostate cancer, and what do we know about current treatments?Biochemical Failure
The two major challenges faced by clinicians treating patients with prostate cancer are biochemical failure and refractory disease. Widespread screening has markedly reduced the number of newly diagnosed cases of advanced prostate cancer. We are now treating more patients with "curable" lesions. In fact, nearly two-thirds of all newly diagnosed patients undergo either radiation or surgery.
Unfortunately, a significant percentage of these patients will fail, as manifested by a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. This stage (which I call D1.5) is the most common presentation of advanced prostate cancer,[1] and it represents a unique opportunity in human oncology in that the patient has minimal tumor burden and there is a markerPSAto ascertain progression and response. Opinions on how best to treat these patients vary. Options include local radiation for prostatectomy failures, salvage prostatectomy for radiation failures, cryotherapy, observation, and various types of hormonal therapy.Most clinicians agree that once the PSA begins rising, if the patient has a reasonable life expectancy, death from prostate cancer is inevitable. What usually occurs is that the patient is offered one of the above-described treatments and then eventually fails with a second rising PSA. This then presents a second challenge to the clinician, or what I describe as D2.5a rising PSA in the face of hormonal therapy. The patient may have a negative bone scan and manifest no symptoms, yet he has progressive hormone-refractory disease.
Therefore, the treatment challenges facing clinicians in this disease are biochemical failure after a local therapy and biochemical failure after hormonal therapy in asymptomatic patients. The authors describe many promising methods to deal with these situations. I believe future treatment will combine agents that interfere with signal transduction, angiogenesis, receptor binding, and cell migration. Progress is being made in the development of antisense therapy, promoters of apoptosis, and various types of gene therapy.Exisulind Therapy
Most clinical trials are focusing on single-agent approaches rather than combinations of the above, despite the fact that testis cancer, for example, cannot be cured with single-agent platinum therapy. One monotherapeutic agent being investigated in clinical trials is exisulind (Aptosyn), a selective apoptotic antineoplastic drug. It has been found to be beneficial in patients with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), a genetic syndrome associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Gardner's syndrome. Exisulind impedes progression of the disease by chemoprevention of new polyps and regression of existing polyps. It is also effective in inducing apoptosis in prostate cancer.
A recent multicenter study confirmed the promise of this agent in decreasing and retarding rises in PSA after biochemical failure. Although exisulind delays the need for hormonal therapy, the ability to delay progression does not qualify the agent for approval by the Food and Drug Administration. First, it must demonstrate a survival benefit, and that could be a decade away. Studies now being developed will combine this drug with other agents, including traditional forms of chemotherapy, to see if a benefit ensues.
While most patients with hormone-refractory disease live only 9 to 13 months, patients with biochemical failure may live 10 to 13 years. Therefore, an agent like exisulind may prolong survival, but it will be decades before we can confirm that it actually does so. Considering the current climate for drug approval, it will be many years before we see some of the agents that the authors discuss available for clinical use, unless activity is present in advanced refractory disease or untreated metastatic disease. In this reviewer's opinion, the promise of many of the agents described will not be in advanced refractory disease but rather in the treatment of patients with a lesser tumor burden and a rising PSA after failed local therapy.Hormonal Therapy
Thus, the real threat of prostate cancer is biochemical failure (D1.5) and its natural progression to the hormone-refractory state (D2.5). We know that hormonal therapy can produce dramatic but short-lived responses in metastatic hormonally sensitive disease. Chemotherapy has also demonstrated the ability to induce significant responses in refractory disease.
However, is there any evidence that aggressive intervention such as hormonal therapy, with or without chemotherapy, can improve the outcome of patients with biochemical failure? The honest answer is no, although in certain stages of disease with a similar tumor burden, it has had some impact. The germane question then becomes, can we obtain any meaningful information from current trials that will aid in deciding how to treat biochemical failure? Moreover, can hormonal therapy not only prolong time to progression but also extend life?
If we analyze stage D2 (metastatic) disease, two studies suggest that early therapy does indeed prolong life. These are the Veterans Administration studies and the recently completed Medical Research Council (MRC) study.[2,3] In men with locally advanced and metastatic disease, 1 mg of diethylstilbestrol was slightly superior to a toxic dose of 5 mg, an ineffective dose of 0.2 mg, or a placebo. The MRC study revealed a survival advantage to early therapy in asymptomatic patients with locally advanced disease.Early vs Delayed Therapy
What do we know about the treatment of lymph node-positive disease? A recently reported intergroup trial in men with node-positive prostate cancer demonstrated a marked improvement in survival with immediate vs delayed hormonal therapy.[4] In addition, Bolla and colleagues have provided documentation that the combination of hormonal therapy and radiation therapy is superior to radiation alone in the management of T3 prostate cancer.[5]
The above trials all support a survival advantage when hormonal therapy is administered early. The advantage, however, is more pronounced in patients with a lesser tumor burden. Therefore, it would seem that hormonal therapy administered to patients with a rising PSA after failed local therapy would provide the same benefit. The questions to be answered include: How long and with what agents? Would intermittent therapy result in a survival benefit? Should chemotherapy be considered in conjunction with hormonal therapy?Conclusions
Many questions about advanced and hormone-refractory prostate cancer remain unanswered. Where clinical trials are available, patients should be encouraged to participate. Until the answers become apparent, I believe that hormonal therapy, with or without chemotherapy, should be offered to most patients with biochemical failure. Predicated on the exciting activity of newer forms of chemotherapy on hormone-refractory prostate cancer, I believe that patients with stage D2.5 disease should be offered these therapies. Again, the authors are to be congratulated for an informative review of a complex disease state.

Best Of :: People & Places
Ed Mell's Rising Phoenix, a Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture commissioned work completed in December 2006, explores the legend of the Phoenix bird that gives our lovely town its namesake. The 40-inch-tall bronze statue, bordered by the beautiful Historic City Hall structure to the east and the Calvin Goode Building to the west, is perched atop a four-foot tall concrete pedestal. Mell's background in illustration and drawing is evident in the work, as the attention to detail is unparalleled. The silver nitrate patina polish applied by the artist, who is represented by Scottsdale's Overland Gallery of Fine Art, gives the work a mystical, pensive quality as the bird victoriously rises from the flames. There are plenty of shade-providing trees, so feel free to enjoy a sack lunch in the plaza while gazing at the bronze bird.
With its lavishly tony décor soaked in red and black, talented DJs spinning Top 40 and rock mash-ups, top-shelf food and drinkage, performances by musical and burlesque acts, and plenty of chi-chi clientele, the Jackrabbit Supper Club is definitely the kinda E-Ticket club that exudes big-city splash. Since debuting last fall, it's not strange to see the place filled to its rafters with the beautiful people (including such celebs as Matt Leinart and Jamie Foxx) from Thursday to Saturday every week. Oh, and by the way, good luck trying to get inside. We've seen limos full of ladies and gents getting turned away by the iron-jawed security types after the club hits its capacity during the prime time of 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. And even when these gatekeepers grant admission, usually they're picking the hottest hotties that are standing in line outside the unmarked building. So unless you can somehow transform into Nick Lachey or Jessica Simpson, chances are you're gonna be partying down the street at Mickey's with all the other mooks.
Something's going up on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads, and no, it's not another gas station. It's a cupcake shop! Well, you say, cupcake shops are as common as gas stations these days and, hey, both are outrageously priced. You're right. We won't argue (in fact, a Sprinkles cupcake costs $3.25 even more than a gallon of gas). We'll just tell you that if the hype on these precious Beverly Hills-based sweet cakes is anywhere near right, you'll be lined up out the door like an imitation of the '70s gas crisis when the Scottsdale Sprinkles finally opens. We'd hoped it would be in time for our Sweet Life issue, but alas, some good things must wait.
Just listen to the lineup of flavors: ginger lemon, dark chocolate, cinnamon sugar, chai latte, peanut butter chip. Drooling? Try scrolling over the full descriptions at www.sprinklescupcakes.com. Lemon isn't just lemon, it's "fragrant lemon cake with lemon-vanilla frosting flecked with zest." These people mean business, and we expect their business to boom when they open allegedly sometime this fall.
If it weren't for sheer willpower, we'd all be sitting around on asses the size of Texas, eating bonbons, and frothing at the mouth like Homer Simpson. Mmm... chocolate. So you can imagine we were floored to discover a cocoa treat that has zero calories and zero fat at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak. Offered as part of the Tocasierra Spa's "My Tempest Truffle" Valentine's Day package, the Chocolate Scrub immerses your whole body in guilt-free chocolaty goodness. The included Chocolate Decadence Pedicure turns tired tootsies into plump, juicy Tootsie Rolls. Can't wait to check out next year's cocoa-infused V-Day specials at Tocasierra? Don't fret the spa plans to offer the chocolate body scrub year-round for an anytime indulgence. They say that because of similar endorphins, chocolate is just as good as sex. Considering that the spa does the messy cleanup for you, we say this sinful scrub is even better.
Thanks to one of Old Town Scottsdale's newest boutiques, we'll gladly add some extra penance so we can atone for the lust we feel for Covet's Tretorn shoes, limited-edition Andy Warhol Factory Foundation Levi's, and one-of-a-kind Liz Saintsing painted bags. We're envious of owners Randy and Adrienne Kreb's excellent taste, and have been known to stare longingly at the Yoko Deveraux shirts and the Alexander McQueen Puma trainers. We're just angry that we didn't spend more time at the gym, so our slothful selves have to be squeezed into our April 77 skinny rock-star jeans.
We love looking like a million bucks, especially if our champagne tastes can be sated on our beer budgets. That's why we've been braving traffic on the I-10 for ages so we can scour the racks at Neiman Marcus Last Call at Arizona Mills. Where else will you find purple Miu Miu pumps for $19.95? Or John Galliano for Dior camis for $50? Or a men's Prada blazer for less than $150? Stock up on Radko Christmas ornaments for $9, and score a suede couch for under $1500. When you pay for your purchases and the kind clerk asks if you'd like to be added to the mailing list, say, "Yes." You'll get invitations to preview sales and you'll have first crack at some choice Chanel ballet flats. Now you'll be able to afford a matching bag. Who says you can't buy happiness? And at a bargain!

Jerrod Niemann, Amazed, Thankful For Multi-Week #1
Niemann Toasts A #1 Achievement He Can Drink To All Night
Jerrod Niemann's current single, "Drink To That All Night," isn't just the country star's second number one hit. It's become his first song to spend more than one week at the top of the chart. And yes, it boggles his mind a little. Jerrod adds that he's truly humbled by the feat, which he knows he didn't achieve on his own. That bodes well for his new album, "High Noon," as "Drink To That All Night" is Niemann's lead-off single from the record.
Who gets the credit? His fans, of course! He says he's grateful to his fans and friends at country radio for all their support.
The song is also putting Niemann at the top of more than one chart. In addition to marking its second week at number one on the "Billboard Country Airplay chart, this week "Drink To That All Night" became the new leader on the "Country Aircheck" chart.

In an 11:30 AM ET press conference on Tuesday, U.S. President Barack Obama spoke harrowing and reassuring words regarding Monday's Boston Marathon bombings.
"Given what we now know about what took place," Obama said in his brief statement, "the FBI is treating it as an act of terrorism. Any time bombs are used to target civilians, it is an act of terror."
Analysts took notice on Monday when the President did not use the word "terror." The Commander in Chief went on to say:
"What we don't yet know, however, is who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was it an act of a malevolent individual… But we will find out. We will find whoever harmed our citizens and we will bring them to justice."
This statement of confidence and courage is consistent with the White House's message on Monday. The U.S. President, calling Bostonians that helped victims "proud and heroic" and making it known that Americans will be with them every step, set the tone for Americans and authorities moving forward in the attack investigation.
Massachusetts governor, Davel Patrick, also made a statement Tuesday morning. Patrick was also clear in his statement that there were "…two and only two explosive devices were found yesterday… [there were] no unexploded bombs." This contradicted earlier information that there were two other devices found and controlled.
"Marathon Monday" is held on Patriot's Day each year in Boston, and is a family event looked forward to by Bostonians and runners all over the world. There were 100 countries represented in the 27,000 runners for the 2013 Boston Marathon, and no one expected the day of celebration to be marred by terrorist attacks. Two bombs went off about 12 seconds apart around 2:50 PM near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, about two hours after the first of the runners completed the 26.2 mile race.
With the death toll at 3 and the injury toll at 176 as of Tuesday morning, authorities are working hard to solve the mystery of who would commit such a "heinous and cowardly" crime. An 8-year old boy is among the dead and 17 of those injured are in critical condition.
The tragedy at the Boston Marathon is one that Americans will remember for years to come. But as our country's President said this morning, "American people refuse to be terrorized." The stories of love and generosity and quick response for the victims of this horrible act of terrorism continue to propel us forward and bring Americans together as we learn more each hour.
Update 12:20 PM ET: An FBI source has said that one of the bombs that went off near the Boston Marathon finish line was inside a pressure cooker that was placed in a backpack.

When Rory McIlroy visited the Washington area last year, he left with a big prize: the U.S. Open golf championship.
Tonight, the Northern Ireland native will claim another big prize, a ticket to the White House dinner President Obama is holding for British Prime Minister David Cameron.
McIlroy -- the world's No. 1 golfer -- is one of several celebrities who will be joining Obama, Cameron, their wives, and other political types for tonight's soiree designed to reflect historic American-British ties.
There's also Oscar-winning heartthrob George Clooney and highly regarded actor Wendell Pierce, who starred in one of Obama's favorite television shows, The Wire. Vogue editor Anna Wintour is also on the list.
There's British actor Damian Lewis, who stars in another of Obama's favorite television shows, the terrorist-themed drama Homeland. And British actor Hugh Bonneville, one of the stars of the critical hit Downton Abbey.
The list also includes Warren Buffett, who has an Obama tax proposal named after him. And British tycoon Richard Branson.
They're joining a generous supply of Obama Cabinet members, administration officials and members of Congress.
The guests will dine on bison Wellington -- a close relative of beef Wellington -- and other dishes with U.S. and British themes.
The first course will be crisped halibut with potato crust, served on a bed of braised baby kale harvested from the White House garden. Desert will be steamed lemon pudding, prepared with huckleberry sauce from Idaho.
The evening will feature a binational flavor. Guests will hear American singer John Legend and British folk band Mumford and Sons.
Dinner will be held in a big white tent on the South Lawn, befitting what the White House calls the theme of the dinner: "America's Backyard."
"Traditionally, America's backyards are places of gathering and entertaining close friends and family," a White House description said. "The special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom makes this 'backyard' celebration a quintessentially American event."
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Arizona officials are seeking a man they say sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl ... and was last spotted in Cambridge.
According to an article appearing Jan. 22 in the Arizona Daily Star newspaper, the hunt is on for Neil Meltzer of Tucson.
The 53-year-old allegedly coerced the victim and an intoxicated 11-year-old friend to engage in sex while videotaping the children, according to Tucson police.
The mother of the victim reportedly left the girl in the care of Meltzer as she attended school and worked, and trusted the man, a fellow member of the Rainbow Family, a loose-knit counterculture group.
The Arizona investigation was launched in June after a woman learned of the existence of the tape and obtained a copy and submitted it to officers, but Meltzer left the area on a business trip and has avoided capture since.
He was highlighted in an episode of America's Most Wanted Radio Show and was reportedly last seen in Cambridge in September.
Anyone with knowledge of Neil Meltzer are asked to contact the Cambridge Police Department, 439-4431.

Goalkeepers draw both praise and ire in abundance. They stand isolated in a position of power and pressure. A solitary position such as this allows critics to more easily pick out flaws or possibly greatness. The best keepers and the worst are spotted readily. However, what separates one quality keeper from another? How do we know which goalkeeper is stronger when there is more than one with extreme talent? Or more pointedly, for Mexico at least, how do you separate out four great goalkeepers from each other?
Only one goalkeeper can start for the national team. For some countries this is certainly not a problem (England, being one). And there are nations that have more than one quality keeper without controversy over who attains the starting position. Even at the height of Pepe Reina's play at Liverpool, there was never a question that Iker Casillas would be starting for Spain. Tim Howard has commanded a starting role despite the wealth of strong US keepers. Howard and Iker are (and have been) a clear step above their tough competition. The ranking of Mexican goalkeepers bears more trouble.
Mexico has four goalkeepers who could start for many nations. They are all incredibly talented. In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to delineate the attributes that separate these keepers from others and each other.
Jesus Corona
Age: 31
Current Squad: Cruz Azul (Mex)
National Team Caps: 14
Before proceeding in breaking down the game of Jesus Corona, I'm obliged to offer a disclaimer. I am utterly biased in this assessment. As a Cruz Azul season ticket holder, I have the pleasure of seeing Corona in action frequently. I'm a firm believer in his brilliance.
For me, Corona's most obvious attribute is his toughness. Mental toughness, sure, but I'm referring to his slightly edgy, kind of scary toughness. He seems to have a little bit of the crazy in him. This can be a good thing for a goalkeeper. Much like a closer in baseball, the keeper position requires the goalkeeper to be unflappable and unfazed by anything. We shouldn't mess with them; we should just let them do their thing. Corona looks angry and ready to take it out on opposing forwards when taking the pitch (like this guy). This is a good thing.
Corona has a knack for getting to balls that look completely out of reach. He makes dramatic diving saves with regularity and can steal what look like sure goals from the opposition. It's hard to ask for much more from the position.
*Nitpicky attempt to find a weakness: Other than the vague sense that he might jump the crazy line and bash someone's face in, it would be corner kicks. While never getting trapped in the dreaded no-man's land between the goal and the opposition, Corona tends to stay on his line a little too much.
Guillermo Ochoa
Age: 26
Current Squad: Ajaccio (FRA)
National Team Caps: 48
Guillermo Ochoa is no stranger to national team play. The most capped of the four keepers, Ochoa is the most likely choice to be in goal for El Tri. Although this had been true before, but then Ochoa was inexplicably left on the sidelines.
Ochoa is an all around great keeper. If you can look past his hair, there are many things he does well and little he doesn't. His greatest attribute is probably his overall athleticism. He is a great athlete who utilizes solid technique. He is Tim Duncan-ish in that respect.
*Nitpicky attempt to find a weakness: Ochoa has had some real boneheaded plays. All keepers have had them. Yet, Ochoa's have occurred on the largest of stages. Fair or not, these are remembered.
Alfredo Talavera
Age: 29
Current Squad: Toluca (MEX)
National Team Caps: 9
Not to sound like a complete moron, but Talavera is simply a big dude. He is physically large, but he also plays big. He has a Peter Cech-ian presence in front of goal, minus the sweet helmet and occasional facemask. In full disclosure, Talavera is only 6' 2". He's tall, but not huge. Yet, Alfredo Talavera seems much larger than he is while he's in goal. To move and jump like a shorter man while having the advantage of height is not exclusively valuable for a football goalkeeper. It sure does help, though.
Alfredo Talavera is not currently blessed with a stellar defensive squad. Toluca does not give him the benefit of many easy outings. He always seems to be in the proper position for the onslaught that is coming his way. Talavera has been well-coached in the position and uses these skills effectively.
*Nitpicky attempt to find a weakness: The majority of Talavera's experience with El Tri came from last year's championship Gold Cup run. While being competent in goal, Talavera never dazzled or staked a firm claim for the position long term. He was merely competent.
Jonathan Orozco
Age: 26
Current Squad: Monterrey (MEX)
National Team Caps: 1
I don't know a lot about hockey, nor do I care to. However, in playoff hockey, there is nothing more important than the hot goalie. Ice hockey keepers can apparently get on hot streaks where they simply take over games. The teams that ride their hot goalie often go far, sometimes far enough to hoist the Stanley Cup. Not all goalkeepers have this ability, but the ones that do can win some huge games for your team (probably even some your team has no business winning).
Jonathan Orozco is much like one of these hockey goalies. He can get on hot streaks where he plays like one of the world's best. This past Liguilla featured the hot streaking Orozco. His play against Club America and Santos Laguna, in the semifinals and finals respectively, nearly propelled Monterrey to another championship. Through the final four matches, only three goals made it into his net. Against high-scoring teams such as America and Santos, this is not to be taken lightly.
Obviously, one of the most desirable attributes for a keeper is having split-second reflexes. These reflexes are most notably tested when opposing shooters draw close to goal. Orozco has some crazy-quick reflexes. He has the ability to stop shots from the closest of ranges, somehow getting his hands where they need to be. Give him a pair of skates, and he might actually be a decent hockey goalie.
*Nitpicky attempt to find a weakness: Orozco has spent his entire career with Monterrey and their youth system. He has consistently had the benefit of a strong defense and solid team approach. He has had little national team experience. It is a little less certain how Orozco would perform out of his comfort zone.
Four quality keepers … but only one can play. Chepo de la Torre can't go wrong (and likely can't go right). Whichever keeper gets the nod will be out there on the island for the world to pick apart.
