Another hecklers' veto; another failure of freedom of expression on campus
Via 9th Level Ireland, I am alerted to the following story [with added links]:
Euthanasia lecture cancelled
A controversial public lecture on euthanasia has been cancelled minutes after it began when a group of over 20 protestors disrupted it. The guest speaker Prof Len Doyal, an open proponent of both voluntary and non-voluntary euthanasia, had to be escorted from the lecture theatre at Cork University Hospital by security staff. The lecture entitled 'Why Euthanasia should be legalised', formed part of the annual spring series organized by CUH's Ethics Forum and started at 5pm. As the 350 attendees were being welcomed, a group of over 20 people stood up and began shouting. Witnesses say some began saying the rosary and one man accused Prof Doyal of being a murderer. A decision was taken soon afterwards to cancel the lecture on public safety grounds but it took some time to get the message through to the audience because of the continuing strong vocal opposition by protestors. …
This is terrible news. As I have argued here before, to ensure that hecklers do not have a veto, those who organise such controversial events must ensure that the controversial speakers actually have the opportunity to speak. Unsurprisingly, the lecture has been a source of controversy for quite some time, so the organisers' failure to make appropriate arrangements is almost as culpable as the hecklers' veto. Cary Nelson, President of the American Association of University Professors, explains why controversial speakers, even monsters, should be able to speak on campus. He begins with an invitation to George Lincoln Rockwell, to speak at Antioch when Nelson was a student there.
Monsters With Constituencies
… It was a chance to see firsthand a monster with a constituency, albeit a relatively small one. College audiences have special reason to see such people in the flesh, so as to try to understand how they might draw people to their cause. Monsters, as it happens, also have a way of showing their true colors, as Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did at Columbia University. His ludicrous assertion that there are no homosexuals in Iran did more to discredit him as a competent leader than almost anything one might say about him.
The notion of a monster … suggests … that students who want to understand their culture might benefit from exposure to both its angels and its devils, along with those not so readily classifiable. What one learns can be surprising. …
The American Association of University Professors has repeatedly argued that an invitation is not an endorsement. So far as I remember, no one was silly enough to make the counter claim about the Rockwell invitation. Nor was it necessary for Columbia's president Bollinger to go to such embarrassing lengths to distance himself from Ahmadinejad. No one thought Columbia was promoting him for the Nobel Peace prize.
… The new weapon of choice [to get a speech canceled] is the anonymous threat of violence delivered by a phone call from a public booth. Then the president or his spokesperson can cancel a speech in a voice filled with regret, ceremoniously invoking "security" concerns … It is the ultimate heckler's veto. Place a call and you are in charge. Better yet, call the threat in to a talk show host and give his hate campaign a newspaper headline.
We either must stand firm against these efforts to undermine the integrity of our educational institutions or agree that academic freedom no longer obtains … the campus as a whole must bear the cost of assuring that invitations are not withdrawn. If a threat requires extra security, let the campus itself — not the students or faculty who issued the invitation — cover the cost. That is the price of retaining academic freedom for a free society.
That last line is worth repeating: ensuring controversial speech on campus is the price of retaining academic freedom for a free society. It is a price we must be prepared to pay.
Updates I've corrected a typo in the title; Ferdinand and Fiona both have some very important things to say; whilst, on the other side of the debate, the perspective of the hecklers' is given here. More press coverage: Irish Examiner | Irish Independent here and here | Irish Times | Sunday Tribune. As Len Doyal himself commented on the Guardian's Comment is Free blog:
Ireland must allow free speech on euthanasia
An angry mob in Cork prevented me from delivering a lecture on the ethics of euthanasia, but Ireland must have this debate …
And, as he says in the Irish Times (24 April 2009):
Moral equivalence is of little use to those dying without dignity
… My views on euthanasia are based only on the search for moral coherence and on compassion for those whom I have been accused of wishing to harm. … Whether or not readers agree with the[m] …, I hope that it is now clear that they would have served to promote an interesting debate in Cork. I regret that dogmatism, apparently fuelled by religion, and lack of respect for free speech prevented this. Beware, it could happen again!

People also need to learn that neither the rosary nor like hazard lights make you exempt from the usual standard of behaviour expected.
I'm unhappy to see that the lecture was cancelled, but really, it's not hard to see why allowing somebody campaigning to give doctors the right to decide to end a patient's life might prove controversial in a hospital setting. The situation could have been easily resolved had things been organnised better.
The Euthanasia debate!
Well I for one am delighted that professor wasn t allowed speak!
Not because hes in favour of Euthanasia as such, if he wants to
End his life by lethal injection at some stage,that's his own business,
What really got to me is that Prof Doyal promotes involuntary euthanasia
For the purpose of cost reduction in hospitals!
Im all for free speech, but to have a group from the health board invite
this guy onto hospital premises to talk about how to save money by killing
off the patients- with the doctor making the decision which person is worth treating.!thats frightening!
Last time I checked Doctors and Nurses are supposed to heal/treat a sick person no matter what illness/disease they have, Prof Doyle was there to promote the killing of sick people without their consent to save money! I see that as a threat to myself,my loved ones . I don t want him anywhere near our hospitals, I will be old someday I hope! Or at some stage in my life I may need hospital care – If his ideas were to be taken on by those in charge of our Health System – id have to have a Garda Escort with me for fear there would be an attempt on my life by the very people who are supposed to be treating me,! Sounds Crazy! Not really when groups in our Health System or thrashing out the idea under the guise of debate and free speech!
If they are not in favour of Euthanasia and it has no use or benefits to patients ,doctors and nurses – those persons interested in his views and ideas should have had this debate at their own expense and maybe in a conference hall or college
If one of my family were in hospital seriously ill and I knew that guy was on the premises putting notions and ideas of involuntary euthanasia into the heads of anyone connected to the running of our hospitals – I wouldnt have shouted him down – id have put him head first out the window !
So a big well done to the God Squad, Youth Defence and to the General Public for shouting him down, not because of their groups religious beliefs or causes ,but for highlighting a serious threat to all of us, something the whole human race has in common friends and family ,in particular those family members or friends who are sick,old or disabled , No one has the right to take anothers life that's murder, and not ever for money saving measures –to even speak or think that way is vicious and vile.

Wow love the shading! How long was each sitting?
Very nice work.
Oh my!
W-o-w!! The shading on this is SO smooth, and the ink you chose just really brings out the soul of this piece (so far). The purple around the eye complements the blue iris and really makes it pop. I'm looking forawrd to seeing the progression of this piece!
this is Awesome!
nice jobs :3
Stunning, can't wait to see the finish!!
looks great and when finished its going to be awesome...
this looks beautiful
Beautiful tattoo and a cute tummy.
Beautiful flow and positioning, very effective
where did you get that scare on the belly? from the tattoo's?
this scares this girl get after 3 big operation
OMG LOVE ur tat its sooo cool!
Was the tattoo intended to cover the scar?
Either way, I like the placement, it looks nice.
Either way, I like the placement, it looks nice.
very nice
aaaawwwsssome - i love it - nice work
Really nicely made and lovely design, but the design and placing does not do the figure any good. Who ever you tatood this one has a nice figure, but thanks to the owl's wing her stomach gets allot rounder, making it bigger and the blue, purple and yellow accent will sadly not last trough time. Yet still nicely made!
Wow, this is really looking beautiful

Comments about CARQUEST Radiator:
These radiators are made to fit either manual or automatic transmission vehicles. Bought it for a vehicle with manual transmission. Leaked from one of the automatic transmission lines from the get go. The nut that secured the brass hose connection cracked into three pieces, and all the antifreeze leaked right out. I exchanged it for another, and the folks at Advance Auto couldn't have been nicer. Got me another and threw in a couple gallons of antifreeze. Looking back, the carton was taped shut, and only a half piece of styrofoam held the radiator in the carton. New one was in a carton that was stapled shut. My guess is that someone had broken the first one and returned it, and the broken part went unnoticed. New radiator went in and is working fine.

Local 'UndocuQueer' Speaks on Identity and Equality in New Huffpo Series
This week, Tony Ortuno, a member of YETA, Orange County DREAM Team (OCDT) and DeColores Queer Orange County tells of his personal journey starting with immigrating from Guerrero, Mexico being fed only soup by his mother along the way to the summer day years ago when he nervously came out to her as gay.
He begins his piece writing, "I am queer, undocumented, a community activist, an immigrant, a person of color, a recent college graduate, and a loving son and brother. Every single one of these identities has sustained my dedication to continue the work toward an inclusive society for all people."
Ortuno continues along that theme telling of how being in the company of his fellow local DREAMers helped him finish school while developing as an organizer. Declaring his undocumented status came first long before doing the same as queer.
"I am constantly fed with negative images and rhetoric surrounding both communities," he writes. "The most painful comments come when homophobic or xenophobic comments come from within our own communities. We cannot ignore the connections between one another." That understanding of the intersecting points of oppression is what directly propels him towards a vision of an inclusive society.
Or in other words, a world where many worlds fit...

Fresh Figs Baked
Recipe by Sweetiebarbara
Easy fresh fig recipe. Can be used as appetizer, side dish, or dessert... or all three! I could eat figs three times a day, I only wish the season were longer. I changed the amount of Gorgonzola for the figs, as I believe the review I recently got was right... too strong for the fig. It read 6 tablespoons before I changed it. I believe 1/2 teaspoon per fig would be better. As would less port be better.
Top Review by Panda Rose
This was delicious. I can only give 3 stars as I did not make it exactly as stated. I used gorgonzola as I had some in the house, but I found it too strong in this dish, although I did like th idea of the blue cheese. Perhaps dolcellate would have been better, for me. I also used the rest of a bottle of good red wine as it was "just hanging around" and I did not have amy port. My DH was not sure whether this was a desert or better as a starter, but he ate 2 figs anyway!

Information for home, EU, and non-EU students.
Studying Design for the Stage prepares students to work creatively and professionally as set and costume designers. They will learn to work speculatively and through realised productions in a range of different performance contexts and genres, gaining a firm grounding in theory.
Design for the Stage students learn through collaboration with those studying on Central's design, production and acting courses, gaining a deep insight into other practices. They also work closely with the craftspeople and constructors who will realise their designs, and the stage management and technical production teams who will bring their work to the moment of performance.
Skills including model making, technical drawing using AutoCAD and SketchUp, costume drawing and storyboarding using Photoshop, and the use of projected media will be developed, and there will be opportunities to put these skills into practice on realised projects in Central's professionally equipped performance spaces.
Students will develop the of core skills and a clear understanding of what performance and performance design are through taught classes, workshops and realised projects. There will be the opportunity to meet professionals in the field, and to work on a number of collaborative projects that encompass installation and immersive and traditional contexts in which to design.
Individual design processes are developed to a near-professional level through a series of assignments, during which students work with directors on speculative design projects using texts and opera. Assignments can also include completing a professional placement with a practitioner or company, or designing a realised performance within Central.
Design practices will be applied and refined through work on one of Central's public productions or a smaller scale professional production, as appropriate. Students will finalise areas of professional interest and identity, and will participate in an exhibition to present a portfolio of their best work to the industry.
A large number of successful work placements take place, usually once for each student in either the second or third year of the course.
Past students have collaborated with, or had placements at: Improbable Theatre, 2012 London Olympic Ceremonies, John Pawson Architects, Royal Opera House Model Room, Opera North, National Theatre, Punchdrunk, Arcola Theatre, Thin Man Films and Harvey Nichols, and have assisted or worked alongside professional designers and other industry professionals both within the UK and abroad.
Students on this course often work under the guidance of professional directors and choreographers, and have the opportunity to collaborate in a range of professional settings.
Past students have gained experience by working in live art, small and medium-scale devised and collaborative work, puppetry, circus and street theatre, as well as on text or character-based play productions, large-scale events, and corporate presentations.

Male-Biased Nature of Boule and Application of Computer-Aided Drug DesignBY: Shivani Sharma | Category: Bioinformatics | Submitted: 2012-12-06 12:24:42
Article Summary: "Boule gene is unleashing new insights into male contraception and child birth. Information on CAD Drug designing in male contraceptive pills.

The function of boule though seems to be conserved but is found to be divergent in fish Medaka which shows the expression of boule in both ovaries and sperms thus raising the question if the function and expression of boule is conserved too or has diverged despite the presence of highly conserved RRM sequence. To resolve this dilemma, two species from deuterostome were chosen viz. purple sea urchin (S. Purpuratus) and chicken (G. Gallus). The homologs of boule were found to be present in both the species; though the chicken DAZL exhibited its expression both in ovaries and eggs, the chicken boule homolog limited its expression only to testis. Similarly in sea urchin, a primitive deuterostome species, boule homolog was found to be testis-specific and didn't express itself in any non-gonadal tissue. However, a transcript with a complete RRM domain present in low levels was detected in ovaries but it didn't appear to be functional at all. These findings thus suggested the male biased function of boule gene and its expression limited to gonadal tissues.
Boule - Unleashing new insights into male contraception and child birth
From the yet conducted studies, it can be concluded that if and how the boule gene is important for male fertility. As it doesn't contribute to any other functions in the body, neither is important or involved in the growth and female fertility factors and processes. The infertility thus can be considered to be resulting from either of the two factors-
• The complete knock-out or deletion of the boule gene/homolog, or,
• A disruption in its highly conserved consensus sequence such as in its deeply conserved RNA binding motif domain which is located at the N terminal of boule.
The second possibility has been fully experimentally conducted and observed and was found to yield useful results. The experiments conducted with mouse boule gene showed that the boule is only associated with and required for male fertility and doesn't in any way effects female fertility. The absence, deletion or mutation results into lack of sperm production and leads to infertile males with potential to reproduce. However this doesn't effect a male's ability to copulate in any way, neither does interrogates the viability and growth of the male in question. The male is as normal as any other male of the species and continues to grow, only the sperm production is restricted while not affecting any other characters & organs.
Though the first possibility has been practically realised too, there is another application of the discovery of boule gene that can be done through gene knock-in techniques. As it is very well known that a gene can be knocked into the genome of an organism by applying suitable techniques, several experiments have been conducted on mouse for knocking in few genes and then observing the results. It is to do with the infertile males, those who are unable to produce sperms or have a low sperm count. The boule gene can be knocked in to raise the sperm count from a few or zero to the desired amount, thus bringing back a male to fertility again. Though no experiments have been conducted yet, further research in gene knock-in approach may help gaining back the sperm production and fertility in infertile males. Various cases have come into light where a couple is unable to give birth to a child due to low or no sperm count of the male partner. Therefore, by practically bringing these approaches into application, most of the problems related to child-birth and control can be resolved.
The discovery of boule gene and its homologs and their presence throughout the bilateral phyla in metazoans have remarked a significant achievement in the history of genomics and evolution and is likely to contribute further in the studies and development of theories relating to human reproductive system. The work done by Shah C, VanGompel MJW, Naeem V, Chen Y, Lee T, et al. (2010) confirms all the findings.
As the disruption of a gene or a mutation in it, effects only its own function and doesn't in any way reflect its consequences on other genes and their functions, tissues, bodily organs etc., similarly the disruption or deletion in boule homolog disrupt its own function only. By utilising these findings, more effective male contraceptive pills can be designed that would be specific to their target that is the boule gene. By directly targeting the boule gene, its function will be disrupted more effectively and thus the contraceptive issues can be resolved. It can be done either by the two methods viz. permanently deleting the boule gene for the lifelong contraception or temporarily disrupting the expression and function of boule for the time-being leading to child birth control and a remarkable approach for male contraception.
CAD Drug designing in male contraceptive pills
Computer-aided drug design is basically involved with designing of new potential drugs for the targeted disease or disease causing bioactive molecule with the help of computer aided tools. As is already pointed out, the gene boule belongs to the DAZ gene family and yields a boule protein which has significant relationship with male fertility. By using computer-aided or structure-based drug designing, this protein can be disrupted from exhibiting its functions. This can be done either by choosing a (ligand) molecule directly from the naturally existing molecules to bind perfectly to the boule protein or can be designed manually so that it binds with the maximum binding affinity to the boule, thus deactivating it.
Binding of a protein with ligand with lowest activation energy and highest binding energy causes conformational changes within the protein and the ligand/enzyme. If the protein is in an inactivated state, it gets activated and if it's already active, it gets deactivated. Deactivation of a protein usually results into loss of its function or to be more precise, a deactivated protein doesn't expresses its function. There are specific sites located throughout the 3D structure of protein known as active sites and they are where the ligand molecules binds to. It must bind with maximum affinity to the protein molecule or else the purpose won't be achieved that is the deactivation of the protein. Though no research or studies are in progress currently in regard to CAD drug designing pertaining to this specific point, but new strategies for male contraception can be expected to come out sooner or later as the CAD drug designing is evolving further and further and very rapidly.
Thus it can be concluded that the boule gene protein can be disrupted from exhibiting its function either genetically by gene knock-out techniques or by designing specific pills or to be clear, drugs by CAD, both ultimately contributing to new alternatives for male contraception. Also, the gene can be knocked in too in the infertile males to enable them to produce sperm or raise their sperm count, though the question is how. No researches have been made in that direction yet. As the gene is directly related to male fertility, further researches can lead to the production of more effective techniques to directly target the desired protein and practically achieving the dream of more effective contraceptive pills for men, thus playing an important role in child birth and its control.

Ensure you drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Don't be too hard on yourself at the start, progress gradually. Make sure you eat healthy. Always warm up before your workout. Mix things up and try running or swimming for a change, instead of going to the gym. Dress comfortable and use the equipment the right way. Get your rest and mix workout with music if you like!
Perhaps in the back of your mind, you have been wanting to work out forever, but didn't know how to get started. Being a beginner to the workout field is great, you're about to embark on something incredible. If you are looking for workout tips, as a beginner, you'll want to check out these helpful tips:
Workout Tips For Beginners
1. Drink Lots Of Water
No matter who you are and what level of working out you are at, always drink lots of water. Your body needs to stay hydrated, no matter what your fitness level is.
2. Be Easy On Yourself
Never worked out before? Don't go crazy with trying to go super hard on yourself, at the start. Think of it this way, on your first day of running, you don't complete a marathon.
3. Eat Healthy
Working out is great, but if your final goal is to be healthier, you'll want to make sure you're also eating healthy.
4. Know What Muscles To Stretch
Always know what muscles you need to be stretching and warming up, before executing your current workout.
5. Don't Be Afraid To Mix Up Your Workout Routine
Doing the same thing each day can be monotonous, never be afraid to switch things up in your workout routine.
6. Always Dress Comfortably
Dress comfortably for your workout. Appropriate shoes and clothing can help you stay comfy as you work out.
7. Use Your Workout Equipment Correctly
A huge thing with newbies and exercising is that equipment often gets used wrong, never be afraid to ask for help! Safety should always come first and you would never want to hurt yourself.
8. Don't Limit Yourself To The Gym
Exercising looks different for everyone, but don't think your fitness routine is disrupted if you couldn't make it to the gym. You can run or walk outside, or even create your own mini-home-gym.
9. Never Give Up
Once you've made the effort to start exercising, don't give up just because things are getting tough. If you fail, get up and try again.
10. Take Time To Rest
No matter how passionate you are about your exercise routine, always take time to rest. Your body needs to recuperate to be able to function at its best.
11. Get A Fitness Buddy
If you are having trouble staying focused with your workout goals, get an accountability partner. They can help keep you in line with your goals.
12. Try Something New
One of the best things about exercising is that you can choose to do many things. If you are an avid runner, give swimming a try from time to time.
13. Good Music
If you love music and exercising, try combining the two.
Working out doesn't always have to be a difficult and monotonous process. Use these tips and give your workouts a new dimension.
What are some things that you found helpful when you started working out?

I don't travel internationally with a stroller
It is considered essential baby gear in the US, and if you don't have one in the airport you are definitely in the minority. On my travels, I have seen loads of parents using strollers, but I still don't travel with one.
At first, it wasn't that big of a decision. Petra was small and light and a stroller seemed bulky and heavy. I couldn't understand why anyone would choose to spend time trying to unfold and refold this piece of equipment and fight to buckle baby in when they could just hold her in their arms or in a baby carrier, like our Ergo Baby Carrier.
But now that Petra is almost 10 kilos I considered bucking up and getting a stroller, but there is still a big flaw in their usage:
In order to use a stroller, you need a reasonably flat, safe ground. The sidewalks in all the countries we have traveled to so far with Petra just don't cut it.
The sidewalks of Central America and the Caribbean tend to be too narrow, have steps in them every 15 feet and/or are all busted up, if they exist at all. This means I would have to take my baby in her stroller into the streets which are also often far too narrow to even accommodate traffic, and are still all busted up.
Though I have seen both tourists and locals do this, I don't trust the drivers enough to think it is a safe alternative to drive my baby in the streets in nothing but a stroller.
Maybe I will change my tune if we travel somewhere else that has flat and safe sidewalks or if Petra simply gets too sick of riding in my arms or on my back. But, for now, it just doesn't seem worth it to travel with a stroller.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, and the twins all belong to JKR. I do, however, claim Ginny's pillow. So there. Nyah.
Author's Notes: Beta'd by the awesome DWS, with whom I'm writing a chapter story under the penname Zombie Spuds. Check it out, yo.
Ginny Weasley and the Pillow of Doom
Ginny hugged her knees to her chest and stared blankly out of her bedroom window. It was nearly noon, but she was still in her nightdress, sitting atop her bed. She felt too tired (tired, old, thin, stretched, worn) to get up and go downstairs and face her family.
Bill and Fleur had left on their honeymoon two days before, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione had taken off soon after. They'd left a note, addressed to the entire Order of the Phoenix, saying that Dumbledore had given them an assignment they needed to fulfill.
They'd left nothing for her. They hadn't even mentioned her in their stupid little note. Not a single goodbye from any of them – not from her brother or her best friend or her boyfriend.
No. Ex-boyfriend. She kept forgetting…
Ginny let out a startled shriek and hit her head against the window pane as she tried to grope for her wand, which she'd taken to keeping under her pillow.
"Easy there, Ginny," the intruder said, sounding amused, and Ginny finally righted herself enough to see that her bedroom had been invaded not by Death Eaters, as she'd irrationally assumed, but by Fred and George. Which wasn't necessarily any better, all things considered.
The two of them stood framed in her doorway, wearing identical grins.
If you didn't look at their eyes, Ginny thought, you'd almost think they weren't completely and utterly evil.
"What do you want?" she said angrily, rubbing her head where it had hit the window. "I was-"
"Strangling," George said, sounding irritatingly smug.
"I wasn't strangling anything!"
"Not yet," Fred said, and he stepped in and sprawled beside her on her blankets. George eyed the small bed dubiously, then dropped gracelessly to her floor to lounge on her threadbare old rug.
"See, we're trying to figure out how you're going to greet Harry when the triumphant hero eventually, well…triumphs." Both twins seemed to think this made perfect sense.
"I'm not going to strangle him," Ginny said shortly, though now that she thought about it, the idea did hold a strange – if slightly morbid – appeal.
"Told you!" Fred gloated to George. "I said for sure that you'd go with decapitation. And then you could hang his head off your broom, like the warriors of old." He said the last in a deep, dramatic voice, as if exulting in the gruesome vision.
Ginny's lips twitched. "It'd weigh my broom down too much," she told them, a little regretfully. "I'd still like to play Quidditch, you know, and a bloody, mangled cranium might get in the way of that."
"She has a point, Fred."
"Indeed she does, George. Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Yes, but the thumbscrews might be a bit over the top. Just stick with the evisceration, I'm thinking."
Ginny couldn't help it – she giggled.
No. Not giggled – she chuckled. Giggling was for blushing eleven year old girls who stuck their elbows in the butter when stupid bespectacled morons so much as glanced in their general direction.
"By George, George, I think evisceration's a winner!" Fred announced with an exaggerated look of pleasure. He flung an arm about Ginny's shoulders and pulled her enthusiastically towards him.
Ginny, expecting a hug, shouted in surprise when he rapped her sharply on the head with his knuckles.
She jerked away, glowering. "You really shouldn't have done that," she informed them haughtily, reaching behind herself to grope for a weapon.
"Oooh, she's getting her pillow, brother mine," George said in a stage whisper.
Fred's eyes widened comically. "She keeps her wand under there!" he cried, right before she brandished her weapon of choice. He scrambled hastily away before he even saw what she was holding, only to fall off the bed and onto his twin.
Ginny stared at them for a long moment as they started bickering with each other about who was going to move first, then began to laugh.
It wasn't just a giggl…chuckle this time. For the first time in what felt like months, she really and truly laughed. The twins looked absurdly pleased with themselves, though Fred went a bit red when he noticed that she was, in fact, holding her pillow rather than her wand. George snickered, which prompted another round of tussling on her floor.
Ginny rolled her eyes and leaned over to whack Fred in the head with the pillow. Fortunately, they took that as a sign that their wrestling was not welcome in her room, which did have its share of easily-breakable objects.
"Evisceration has your approval then?" George asked, once Fred climbed off of him. The poor boy sounded winded – his twin's elbow had struck him right in the gut. Fred had the beginnings of a nasty bruise on one arm, though, so she figured they'd come out even in the end.
"Nah," Ginny said, ducking her head to hide her grin. "I'm thinking I'll just threaten him with my pillow. Since it's so scary and all."
Fred flushed and George laughed uproariously.
"I can see it now," the latter twin said, gasping for breath. "Harry Potter, Slayer of Voldemort, meets his untimely end at the hands of his angry girlfriend and her lumpy Pillow of Doom."
Fred grinned, apparently forgetting his own embarrassment. "Smothering!"
"Suffocation!" George chimed in gleefully.
"A good whack upside the head," Ginny countered wryly, "which is what you two are going to get if you don't stop being such complete idiots."
"We're male," Fred said seriously. "We can't help it."
"And I suppose natural male idiocy is why Harry broke up with me?" Ginny drawled.
"No, he broke up with you because he's afraid," George said lightly, propping himself up on his elbows.
She blinked. "…what?"
"Oh, come on," Fred said with an expressive roll of his eyes. "You must have seen how he tries to protect people." He flopped over onto his stomach, resting his head on his folded arms. His nose twitched as it came in contact with the old rug, and he sneezed.
Ginny ignored the fact that his boogers were migrating to her floor and setting up camp on her rug. "What d'you mean?" she demanded suspiciously.
"Like I said, he's afraid," George said, head lolling back as Fred pulled himself up into a sitting position, nose far away from the sneeze-inducing mat. "Haven't you noticed how he always has to keep everyone safe? He's terrified that someone might get hurt because of him."
"And how exactly did you come to have this stunning insight?" Ginny asked sharply, brow furrowed. She couldn't imagine Harry actually being afraid – not like George was describing. He always seemed to know what he was doing.
Then again…how much of that was Harry, and how much was the Boy Who Lived?
"He gave us a letter for you," Fred said, looking just a little guilty. "We may have taken a peek at it."
Ginny glared, outraged. "He gave you – you read my – give it to me right now!"
Fred edged away from her, though he was well out of his sister's range – at least, as long as she stuck to using her pillow as a weapon, rather than her wand. "You have it, Forge?"
"'Course, Gred," George said, shifting all of his weight onto one arm as he dug around in his pocket for a rather crumpled bit of parchment. He tossed it to Ginny, who caught it easily despite her suddenly shaky hands.
She stared at the letter, then slowly unfolded it and smoothed out the creases.
I know you said you understood why I have to go, but I'm not sure you get why I'm leaving you behind.
The thing is, I care about you. I mean, a lot. And if you're with us, then I'll be concentrating on you, not on what I have to do. I know you can take care of yourself, but I can't help worrying about the people I…about people.
It's me I doubt, you see? Not you.
I'm sorry.
She stared wordlessly at the letter for a long moment, then looked up, feeling lost, to seek answers from her brothers. They were gone, though, and they'd closed her door behind them. She hadn't even noticed them leaving.
Escaping her wrath, no doubt. Except she didn't feel particularly angry now. Just…empty. Empty and sad and frustrated that the war had put her and Harry into this position.
Swallowing, she ran a finger across Harry's scrawled name, suddenly missing him fiercely. She'd been furious before, furious and bitter. And she'd felt guilty, as well, for being so selfish in wanting Harry for herself when the rest of the world needed him so much more than she did.
Now she just…now she just missed the way he smiled at her, the way he looked at her like she was some sort of pubescent queen amid a giggling gaggle of girls.
Tears stung at her eyes, and she wiped angrily at them with the sleeve of her nightgown. Sniffling, she carefully laid the short letter on her bedside table, not wanting to get it all wet and splotchy.
The door creaked open a few minutes later, and two identical redheads peeked in. She offered them a watery smile.
"So," Fred said slowly, "no thumbscrews?"
She shook her head.
"The dead, bloated look doesn't really do it for me," she said with a sort of gasped, sobbing laugh. She scrubbed at her eyes again, and her now-runny nose.
"I'd like the face I kiss to be attached to a body, thanks," she retorted.
George and Fred glanced at each other and sighed simultaneously, looking rather disappointed. "You're no fun anymore," Fred pouted.
She snorted. "If it'll make you feel better," she said, her smile growing less watery and rather wicked, "I'll still whack him with the Pillow of Doom and Death and Destruction and other words beginning with D that have negative connotations."
"We've taught her well, Fred," George said proudly.
"Yes, you have," Ginny agreed. "Which is why I'm giving you a five second head start before I turn you into toads for reading my mail."
Her brothers went pale.
"Run," she suggested. Fred and George stared at her, then glanced at each other.
"I think she's serious."
"I think you're right."
"I think I'm getting my wand," Ginny said pointedly.
"Going, going, and we're gone!" George announced, and both of them disappeared. She heard them thumping down the stairs, calling for Mum to protect them from their evil little sister.
"Boys," she said, and smiled as her gaze strayed to Harry's letter. "Such idiots."
But in all honesty, she wouldn't have them any other way.

text: It's not exactly small change, but nor is the £2.34bn generated from the 4G auction exactly what the government would have liked.The auction for a piece of the action/spectrum was forecast to net around £3.5bn for the Treasury, but the total bid fell well short of that amount. Although that's good news for the winning bidders Everything Everywhere, Hutchison 3G UK (Three), Niche Spectrum Ventures (part of BT), Telefonica (O2) and Vodafone. It might also be good news for us, the consumer, too. After all, if they are paying less, it could mean less pressure to charge a premium price. That's the theory, anyway.Vodafone topped the bidding at £791m, which bagged it five chunks of spectrum. Sounds like Vodafone will be going big with 4G this summer, which might not be good news for EE and its current offering.Speaking to the BBC, Ofcom chief executive Ed Richards said the figure was lower because 'we are in very, very different times.' He added: "What we were trying to do was ensure that a valuable economic resource was brought into productive commercial use."In light of criticism, a Treasury spokesperson defended the original figure: "The £3.5bn number at Autumn Statement 2012 was certified by the independent OBR and based on external expert independent analysis based on similar auctions, including the last 3G one. The final auction revenue will be accounted for at Budget in the usual way.'Ofcom auctioned the spectrum in two bands - 800MHz and 2.6GHz, equivalent to two-thirds of the radio frequencies currently used by tablets, smartphones and laptops.According to Mr Richards, it 'will allow 4G networks to achieve widespread coverage as well as offering capacity to cope with significant demand in urban centres'.He said: "4G coverage will extend far beyond that of existing 3G services, covering 98% of the UK population indoors - and even more when outdoors - which is good news for parts of the country currently underserved by mobile broadband."Source: BBC

Get A Lawyer That You Can Trust
When a legal issue arises, it is important to have a truthful, smart, experienced lawyer. You might not be sure of what to look for when you hire an attorney, however. These tips will tell you how to hire a great lawyer without getting ripped off.
One of the last things you will want to do is to simply go with the first lawyer that you find. Ensure you thoroughly research all your options. Not doing so can be disastrous! Speak to others and see what you can figure out about lawyers that interest you.
Think about retaining an attorney before you ever need his services. You won't feel pressured and can take the necessary amount of time. When you retain a lawyer, you have help when you need it.
Before spending hours researching yourself, check with people you know and trust. Talking with them should help you narrow down which lawyer you are interested in working with. You might get a good recommendation from someone you trust.
Never hire a lawyer if you feel even in the slightest uncomfortable with them. That is the case with their costs as well. Don't sign blank checks to pay their retainer fee! Be sure to get a solid estimate at the outset to prevent the situation snowballing beyond your ability to pay.
If you need a lawyer for a business matter the best way to find one is to ask other business owners for recommendations. Companies who work with attorneys on a regular basis can be a good resource for referrals. For example, if you are interested in a small business lawyer, you should talk to a realtor, accountant or banker. These types of people are frequently interacting with lawyers and can provide more informed judgements.
Before deciding on an attorney, find out if he has experience in the specific field that your case falls into. Advertising the ability to work on such a case is very different than having the background and experience needed. Ask a few questions to your lawyer if you cannot find any information on their website.
You need to keep track of all the interactions with your lawyer. Discussed content, amount paid, time and date should be recorded in the log. This can help protect you from problems that may arise such as large fees.
Now that you are done reading, finding an attorney will be simple for you. Use this guide as a mental checklist when interviewing lawyers who might take your case. These tips can help you find the best attorney for your case so that you can get the outcome you desire.

Shankar, R. (1994), Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Plenum Press. Chapter 11, Exercise 11.2.3.
The translation operator for an infinitesimal translation is, to first order in :
where , the momentum operator, serves as the generator of translations. To derive a formula for a finite (non-infinitesimal) translation over a distance , we divide the interval into segments, each of width , so that for very large , the width becomes infinitesimal. Then we have
This formula is reminiscent of one definition of the exponential function (which can be found in most introductory calculus texts):
When we try to apply a formula that is valid for ordinary numbers to a case containing operators, we need to take care that any commutation relations involving the operators are taken into account. In this case, 2 contains only the momentum operator and the identity operator, which commute with each other, so we can in fact apply the limit formula directly to the operator case. We therefore have
In the position basis, , so if we apply to a state vector we can expand the exponential in a Taylor series to get
We can extend our analysis of the correspondence between classical and quantum versions of translations. In the passive transformation model, the transformation is applied to operators rather than state vectors, so for a finite translation of an operator we have
The operator expression on the RHS can be expanded using Hadamard's lemma, which for two operators and is
where each term contains the commutator of the previous term's commutator with .
In this case gives us
For example, in the case , and all higher commutators are zero (since they involve the commutator of a constant with ), so we get
so the system is translated by a distance , as we'd expect.
For higher powers of , we can use the result
We therefore get
We're allowed to treat as an ordinary number in these equations since it is (apart from ), the only operator present so all terms commute.
In the classical case, the infinitesimal change of a variable under an infinitesimal displacement generated by the momentum is given by the Poisson bracket
We can write this as a derivative:
For a finite translation by an amount , we can write the value of as a Taylor series relative to some starting point as
where all derivatives are evaluated at .
We can write all the derivatives in terms of Poisson brackets by using 15. For example
Thus the variable transforms according to
Comparing this with 8, we see that the two expressions match if we use the usual recipe for converting classical Poisson brackets to quantum commutators, namely .
Although we've worked this out for the special case of translations, the same principle can be used for other transformations. For example, the angular momentum about the axis is
and serves as the generator of rotations about the axis. Suppose we have a rotation through an angle and we want to see how the two coordinates and transform. The expansion 18 becomes
The relevant Poisson brackets are (using the generic term to represent the two coordinates and ):
Looking at how transforms, we see that the Poisson brackets in 20 will cycle through the four values
The series 20 thus expands to
We can do the same calculation for to get

Shift 2 Unleashed - Dangerous Corners Trailer
Another dual-GPU Fermi card spotted
Engadget stumbled into what they think is a dual-GPU NVIDIA GeForce product that never made it. We believe the story is different. Below you can see photo's of a dual-GPU solution based on two GF104 chips (GeForce GTX 460).
"While we wait for its arrival, however, here's a sentimental look back upon 2010 and another little prototype that NVIDIA had kicking around its labs back then. Emerging over in a Chinese forum, this dual-GPU board features two GF104 chips (the same that made the GTX 460 such a winner) and a snow white PCB paintjob that makes it look utterly irresistible. We're loving the four DVI outputs and, just like you, have no idea why this card never came out, but that shouldn't obstruct the enjoyment of looking at the darn thing" - Engadget.
Now when you look closely, that's not an NVIDIA reference design whatsoever. And I'm willing to bet this card is originating from Galaxy / KFA2. Once GeForce GTX 590, not all partners in Europe will get a chance to sell these high end puppies - including Palit, Gainward, KFA2 and more. As an alternative Galaxy / KFA2 just might pump out a lower spec dual-GPU based card.
Though the photo's indicate that this card is dual GTX 460 based, it would not surprise me to see that Galaxy is working on a dual-GPU GTX560 card. Which offers a lot of performance at a far better price.
But these are just rumors of course. Anyway, have a peek at the photo's below.

Be Quiet! Releases Duo of Dark Rock CPU Coolers
Though silently introduced a month ago, yet now official Be quiet took the challenge to develop a cooler which offers excellent cooling and a near silent operation. As the company stands for maximum performance, they put a lot of effort into the development process. It took them over one year, to work out the perfect combination between performance and noise. Until the finished product there were over 40 prototypes produced and numerous scenarios were simulated.
The silent duo
As a result of all this longsome work, be quiet! presents two very special products: the Dark Rock ProC1 and the Dark Rock AdvancedC1. The two coolers are top notch and were designed for enthusiasts, just like the company's power supplies. One can see that just by the look of these products. Both coolers look really decent and strong because they are completely nickel-plated. They take advantage of the award-winning Silent Wings fans, which were already used in the newest generation of be quiet! Power supplies.
Dark Rock Advanced C1
The Dark Rock Advanced is a powerful tower-cooler using heatpipe technology. Six pipes are taking care of the heat dissipation from the massive copper base up to the 44 aluminium fins. The Dark Rock AdvancedC1 can handle CPU power losses up to 180 watts without any problems, while doing so, the 120mm fan runs at a maximum speed of 1500 rpm and creates very little noise level of only 18,8 dB. Rotation speed is automatically controlled via PWM signal.
- Single tower-layout
- Six 6mm heatpipes
- 120mm "Silent WingsPWM" fan, running at 1500 rpm
- Maximum noise level: 18,8 dB
- Maximum TDP: 180 watts
The Dark Rock Pro is a cooling-monster. It offers excellent cooling thanks to its twin tower design and two 120mm fans. Seven heatpipes spread the heat, no matter which CPU is being used or how far it

Addonics External CipherChain encrypts eSATA devices
Addonics Technologies announced the External CipherChain, a full disk hardware encryption product that lets users encrypt just about any external data storage device with eSATA or SATA connection - from sensitive data on external RAID storage devices to external hard drives, Solid State Drives (SSDs), and many popular flash media.
Built on a FIPS certified AES 256-bit crypto engine, the External CipherChain is as easy as using a key to open a door. The simple insertion of the Cipher Key activates the encryption and decryption of data on the fly with no noticeable performance degradation. There is no software or driver to install and no special training required. The External CipherChain is operating system independent.
Any external storage device with eSATA or SATA connection can be attached to the External CipherChain, which in turn connects to any host via an eSATA port. The External CipherChain can also connect to USB 3.0 / 2.0 ports on any computer with an optional Addonics adapter.
The compact size and rugged metal housing of the External CipherChain makes it extremely portable and easy to deploy in environments where applications require bullet proof data security. The External CipherChain operates at very low power and can be powered directly by the system using various Addonics optional cables.
The External CipherChain's 256-bit encryption is considered the highest level of encryption, secure enough to protect classified information designated as "Top Secret". The full disk encryption encrypts the boot sector, partition table and all the information in the drive. If the encrypted external drive is stolen, the drive will appear as a brand new drive with no trace of any data.
The External CipherChain can also be used as a drive sanitization tool for removing any sensitive data stored on hard drives or flash media. The list price is $95.

AMD Bulldozer slated for June, earlier than Llano
There where already some rumors about some shifts in release times, but as it stands now AMD's Bulldozer-based FX-series processors are expected to arrive in the second half of June while the A-series Llano-based APUs are slated for early June, according to a news report by X-bit Labs. Bulldozer is expected to outperform current Phenom II chips by 50 percent. Here's some more info about the launch schedule.
Shipments of AMD FX-series high-end desktop microprocessors will commence on the week of June 20th, 2011; Supplies of A-series APUs will begin on the week of July 4th, 2011, according to industrial sources. As expected, AMD's Bulldozer central processing units for desktops will become available earlier than Llano APUs. As a result, AMD will be able to create a "halo" effect for its microprocessor lineup with a high-end offering that is projected to outperform existing Phenom II chips by 50%.
Based on a document seen by X-bit labs, AMD plans to release four eight-core AMD FX8000-series chips, two six-core AMD FX6000-series microprocessors and two quad-core AMD FX4000-series central processing units (CPUs) this year; four chips are to be launched in Q2 2011, another four processors will be introduced in Q4 2011. The amount of quad-core and dual-core A-series APUs to be released this calendar year will be eleven, if the plans do not change.

As much as Victoria will be rapt at finishing the first half of the Sheffield Shield season atop the table, they will be even more excited at what's to come in the second half.
The three wins claimed by the Bushrangers in their five matches – effectively four matches after round four was abandoned after day one – easily eclipse the solitary win they achieved last season.
No state coach started the season under more pressure than Greg Shipperd. Suggestions emanating from the dressing room that he has responded positively to this pressure, in terms of improving his coaching and communications, are seemingly being reflected in the team's results.
There are currently three Victorians in the top 10 for runs: Marcus Stoinis (399 runs at an average of 66.5), Daniel Christian (352 at 88) and Peter Handscomb (348 at 116).
All-rounder Stoinis has demonstrated an ability to combine elegance with brute hitting force.
Christian has justified his selection ahead of Alex Keath, starting the season with two centuries, a reminder of why the 31-year-old was in Australia's Boxing Day Test squad to face India three years ago.
Handscomb is adept at facing spin but has shown an improvement against pace as well, with his 348 runs coming from just four innings. A broken finger will sideline him for at least part of the Big Bash League, but he should be fine by the time the shield resumes on February 7.
Opener Rob Quiney was shattered after his Test axe two years ago, and his poor form immediately afterwards reflected that, averaging less than 20 in his next three shield matches. Since then, however, the left-hander has approached the form that got him a call-up, scoring 1067 runs at an average of 48.5 since March last year. The only frustration is that only once in the 11 times he has reached 50 has he gone on to make a century.
Even though David Hussey began the season impressively – his four innings have included scores of 81 and 129 – the Bushrangers stuck to their word that he, as the veteran, would be squeezed out even if he did not deserve to be, in order to give greater opportunity to batsmen available after national team duty, such as Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Finch.
Leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed has been solid with the ball, claiming 18 wickets at 30.72, while paceman Scott Boland has continued his steady improvement.
A record of 11 wickets at 47.73 does not accurately reflect the impact of NSW import Chris Tremain, who has provided the Bushrangers with the hostile bowling option they have conspicuously lacked previously.
While Maxwell, Finch and possibly Cameron White will miss the second half of the season due to World Cup duty, Victoria will gain some significant bowling reinforcements: Jake Reed from injury, Peter Siddle from Test duty and, hopefully, James Pattinson, as part of the plan to prepare him for a Test cricket return. They believe, with cause, they will boast the best bowling attack in the competition.
Even though the Bushrangers will be on the road for the entire second half of the second, owing to the shift of home matches to Alice Springs and Glenelg, those stints away could be beneficial for a team relishing being back on track after a miserable 2013-14 season.
