I have been reading a book by another BBQ afficianado and thougt I would put this to everyone for thier opinion.
Most of what I've read in Steve's books indicate to begin mopping every hour after about an hour of cooking time has elapsed.
In the new book I have been reading the author suggests that you should begin mopping every hour or when the lid is open after aproximately half of the cooking time has elapsed and the rub has set ( formed a crust).
What do you all think?

Joint Press Release
Vaccination – an Act of Love
20 April 2012 | KINGSTON/JAMAICA –
Starting on 21 April 2012, the World Health Organization is uniting countries across the globe for a week of vaccination campaigns, public education and information sharing under the umbrella of World Immunization Week.
In 2003, the first Vaccination Week in the Americas (VWA) was observed and its tenth anniversary will be celebrated from 21-28 April 2012. During the last 9 years, VWA has grown to become the largest multi-country health effort in the Western Hemisphere, with participation of all countries and territories in the Americas and more than 350 million individuals vaccinated under the initiative's framework. Working together, countries and territories in the Americas have been on the global forefront in the eradication and elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccination Week is an opportunity to underscore the importance of immunization in saving lives. The theme of this year's Vaccination Week is "Vaccination: an Act of Love – For you, for me, for everyone: Get vaccinated".
Minister of Health, the Hon. Dr. Fenton Ferguson says that "in celebration of the 50thanniversary of Jamaica's independence, we recognize the National Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) as one of the country's flagship programs. This Program has been the backbone of preventive primary health care services. EPI was established in Jamaica in 1977 and has contributed to the reduction in infant mortality and the epidemiologic transition of diseases. National coverage levels for the basic childhood vaccines are generally over 90%. Specifically, polio was eradicated in 1982, endemic measles transmission was interrupted in 1991, and rubella circulation was interrupted in 2000. Despite these gains and the high coverage levels achieved by most countries, gaps in vaccination still exist."
"From infants to senior citizens, immunization prevents debilitating illness, disability and death from vaccine-preventable diseases. Regulations promulgated in 1986 under the Public Health Act make it the duty of every parent to have their child immunized and require all children under the age of seven years to be adequately vaccinated for their age prior to school entry. The benefits of immunization are increasingly being extended to adolescents and adults, providing protection against life-threatening diseases that occur in adulthood. Ironically, the fact that immunization has made many infectious diseases rare or almost unheard of can lead to the opinion among parents and health professionals that immunization is no longer necessary. However, persons who are not immunized are the most susceptible and pose a risk for disease outbreaks. In working to improve our performance we must focus on existing gaps and on diseases like diphtheria, measles and polio which we see resurfacing in some areas. One reality is that in many instances we can have imported cases of diseases such as measles that put our population at risk. Jamaica's extensive tourism industry puts the population at risk of importation of vaccine preventable diseases. For example, importations of cases of measles have occurred over the past twelve to thirteen years emphasizing the need for active and timely surveillance," says Minister Ferguson.
Ms. Margareta Sköld, Country Representative of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization in Jamaica, says that "disease outbreaks affect everyone and immunization is and remains one of the safest and most cost-effective interventions in health. Linking another intervention to a strong immunization program has the possibility to quickly increase coverage and impact for the added intervention. For instance, some countries have reported that they had taken advantage of the platform created from Vaccination Week in the Americas to integrate other preventative health interventions such as vitamin A supplementation, deworming treatment, and various screening procedures, as part of the initiative. Close cooperation and combined efforts between countries and international and local partners have also been a distinctive characteristic of Vaccination Week in the Americas. The PAHO Revolving Fund for Vaccine Procurement has been a key instrument as well. This fund – the only such mechanism in the world – allows 39 countries and territories in Latin America and the Caribbean to benefit from significant economies of scale and a timely supply of high-quality vaccines at the lowest prices."
The role of parents is important to ensuring that their children are vaccinated against preventable diseases so that they are kept healthy and well. Parents are therefore urged to make sure that their children are fully immunized for their age.

(Disclaimer/Guarantee – I've been an MLB.TV subscriber ever since it launched as a paid service, and am also an avid baseball fan, so expect this entry to be loaded with heaps of bias.)
Major League Baseball was one of the first (if not the first) Internet TV success stories, outside of the porn business, with their MLB.TV streaming service. They began dabbling in streaming live baseball games back in 2002 (they did 30 that year), and today you can watch all ~2,400 games per season, both live and on-demand, with some of the best HD-quality streaming & playback available anywhere.
For the privilege of access to MLB.TV, which offers up this feast of baseball, you have to pony up $20-25/month (depending on whether you want the basic or "Premium" package) or buy the entire season for $100-120. And the catch is this only gets you "out-of-market" and "non-national-broadcast" games. Which means you cannot watch
- Your local team
- Any game broadcast nationally on FOX or ESPN (although the ESPN games are available on Internet TV via ESPN3)
- All playoff & World Series games
Major League Baseball is one of the few true monopoly enterprises in the United States, and the myriad contracts they have in place with local rights owners (e.g. Comcast & the local NBC affiliate here in the San Francisco Bay Area) means the local cable/satelite operators still trump Internet TV where viewing rights are concerned.
In my case, it's because Comcast still wants me to buy a cable subscription to watch my local team, the SF Giants. In some markets you can get around this, if your cable operator has struck a special deal with MLB (SD Padres is an example of one of the few teams which have this going), and you pay an additional fee on top of your cable and MLB.TV subscriptions – holy mackerel that's alot of dough just to watch ballgames.
But I digress, as I'm getting into a very thorny issue that warrants it's own post. Let's get back to a look at the Bells & Whistles of MLB.TV, which in the context of an Internet TV experience I define as the following:
Anything that you don't need to enjoy the simple pleasure of watching the ball game.
There are a few different ways to get to the player, but I generally look at a list of the day's games on MLB.com and make my selection there.
If you bought the Basic package, you get the home-team's broadcast only, whereas if you sprung for the Premium subscription you can choose the home or away broadcasts. As far as I'm concerned, listening to the opposing team's broadcast is bad ju-ju. Baaaaad ju-ju. So I'm one of the shmos that pays the extra bucks for that feature alone (n.b. the Premium subcription also gets you higher bitrates, DVR functionality, and some additional Bells & Whistles).
So, let's start with the stuff that has nothing to do with watching the game.
How important these features may or may not be to you boil down to whether you:
- Follow the entire league, as opposed to just one team
- Participate in a "fantasy league"
- Just like to jump around between different games in progress
For the sake of this post, let's call people who fall into one of these categories the "Lunatic Fringe"
If you're not part of the Lunatic Fringe, 95% of the Bells & Whistles on MLB.TV will likely be useless to you.
Upon entry to MLB.TV (which happens after the player tries to detect your location and verify that you're not blacked-out of the game you've requested) the Player opens in a pop-up window and thankfully it's default state is relatively uncluttered, with feature buttons lining the player below and above:
The first thing a Lunatic Fringe member might want to do is to jump around between games in progress. Clicking "Today's Games" initiates a push-transition of the video, which slides to the left and shrinks in size somewhat as the "Today's Games" menu is revealed.
I'm a big fan of this type of transition, as it holds continuity with the video and you always get a sense that it's all connected.
The menu itself is straightforward, and gives the option to "hide scores" for those wanting to watch games later on without knowing the outcome for "maximum suspense effect" (I had a Lunatic Fringe roommate back in college who would tape games on his VCR and watch them later — if you told him the score before he had a chance to watch the tape, he would commit an atrocity against your belongings. — so, based on this experience, let's just call this one a "key feature" for these guys).
Clicking on a game in progress brings you to that game (unless it is blacked out where you're watching). You also get access to the full on-demand library of all games played in the current season, and the menu contained within the "Archive" button lets you search by Date or Team.
Here, I've selected SF Giants vs LA Dodgers, and it gives me a list of all the games played between these 2 teams this season, sorted by "earliest first". The only thing missing here is the actual Game Date, a pretty conspicuous omission. Even though you can search by date, I would like to see the dates attached to the games when I search by team.
Moving down to the row of buttons that appears on the lower-left of the Player, the Highlights button reveals the highlights of the game currently being watched.
This list gets populated as the game progresses, but the amount of time it takes for a new highlight to appear can vary dramatically (anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, I've seen it take as long as 15 in some instances). I wonder what in the workflow of creating the highlight clips causes this…
You can also view the highlights from all games in progress in the entire league, by clicking "Around the League."
Viewing highlights from the current game is one of the few Bells & Whistles features that the non-Lunatic Fringe user will actually use — e.g. you join a game-in-progress and want to see the important plays you missed.
Then, if you want to get to the "scorecard-keeper" level of Lunatic Fringe (which is one step removed from the next level, where you are at the game itself, listening to the broadcast on a headset radio, keeping a scorecard, and sitting on a foam-rubber-seat-cushion you brought to the game . . . ) Well, you can see a list of every single play:
And if that ain't enough, you've got the entire boxscore.
OK, that stuff isn't as uber-baseball-nerdy as I'm making it out to be, but now we start to get to the territory of things that matter only if you participate in a "fantasy league" where you're more interested in tracking individual players as opposed to teams.
The "Player Tracker" is a very simple UI that lets you add the players you're interested in following, and it gives you the option of getting an alert when that player comes up to bat.
Adding players to the list is really simple, you just select the team and the roster appears.
I just used this feature for the first time while writing this post, and was really impressed by the simple, effective UI design. So, the next time Buster Posey is at bat, I'll get an alarm telling me to switch over to the Giants game and watch him. But, wait, I can't because I live in SF and the Giants are blacked-out here.
Last, but not least, we have the omnipresent Twitter widget which lets you tweet directly from the Player and view tweets with the hashtag related to to the team you're watching.
If you've got a live online event going on these days, and you don't have Twitter integration, you're nowhere (I'm being kinda-sorta faceitious) as this has seemingly become a de-reguer part of any "live online broadcast". I enjoy ballpark trash talk as much as the next guy, and this is the closest you can get to that, I guess, without actually watching the game with someone. But for me, personally, nothing beats the in-person interaction which is why you can often find me at the 24 Willie Mays Plaza Office when there's a day game on.

Mary-Kate Olsen: The Black Widow?
Mary-Kate Olsen has moved on in a matter of weeks from her, what Star is calling, "secret boyfriend" the late Heath Ledger to Italian billionaire/drug connoisseur Lapo Elkann:
While in Paris for Fashion Week, MK flirted with Lapo, the heir to the $7.3 billion Fiat auto dynasty, who overdosed on cocaine and heroin at the home of a transsexual in 2005. Lapo, who now claims he has found sobriety through AA meetings in NYC, clung to life for three days in a coma before recovering.
"Mary-Kate and Lapo seemed very cozy" while sitting next to each other at the Giambattista Valli fashion show on Feb. 28, says a source.
Oh yeah, this guy's dead. But at least he'll get to meet Heath Ledger and exchange war stories about having sex with a coke-fueled monkey-woman. Should be fun. What? You can't tell me Mary-Kate doesn't swing from the ceiling by her tail. That's just science.

KATY, Texas - Two young children lost their parents in a murder-suicide, investigators said.
Fort Bend County sheriff's deputies said a 34-year-old man called them from a home in the 4500 block of Ferndale Meadows Drive in the Woodlake Estates area of Cinco Ranch shortly before 8 a.m. on Monday and said he killed his wife.
When deputies got to the home, both the wife and husband were dead, officials said. Their names have not been released.
Detectives said the children, ages 1 and 4, were not harmed. They were inside another room with the door closed when the deaths occurred, investigators said. The children are staying with relatives.
The motive for the murder-suicide has not been released.

The most important warning sign for melanoma is
a change in size, shape, or color of a mole or other
skin growth, such as a birthmark. One of the things to watch for is
You should be concerned if the pigmentation in a mole or
other skin growth is not uniform. Shades of tan, brown, and black may be
present. Dashes of red, white, and blue may add to the mottled appearance.
Changes in color distribution, especially the spread of color from the edge of
a mole into the surrounding skin, also are an early sign of melanoma. Call your
doctor if you notice these types of colors on a mole or other skin

Medlen falters as Braves lose third straight
Righty surrenders three homers; offense subdued by Lincecum
SAN FRANCISCO -- When the Braves proved to be nearly perfect through the season's first few weeks, there was certainly reason to believe they would eventually come down to earth. But it seemed hard to imagine they would fall as hard as they have over the past three weeks.
Optimism materialized when the Braves won three of the first four games of their current 10-game road trip. But that optimism seemed like a distant memory by the time Kris Medlen surrendered three home runs and a suddenly dormant offense fell victim to Tim Lincecum in Sunday afternoon's 5-1 loss to the Giants.
"We haven't been real pretty to watch these past few games," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We're not getting deep in the game with our pitching and we haven't been scoring runs. We scored four runs in the past three games. We haven't been real fun to watch."
After winning the opener of this four-game series against the defending World Series champions, the Braves lost three consecutive games in frustrating fashion. The only thing separating them from a shutout in this series finale was Evan Gattis' two-out, ninth-inning double off Sergio Romo.
While Atlanta's starting pitchers allowed at least five runs in each of the series' final three games, none of San Francisco's starting pitchers surrendered more than four hits against an offense that had tallied at least five runs in each of its previous seven games.
"This is baseball," Braves left fielder Justin Upton said. "It's a long season. You're going to hit these rough patches. Obviously we don't want them to be as rough as it has been lately. But we've got to pull ourselves out of it. We've got a really good ballclub. Things aren't going our way."
Since losing just two of this season's first 15 games, the Braves have won just eight of the 22 games that have followed. There have been a few ugly slumps over the past few weeks. But none of them seemed to be as frustrating as this three-game stretch that concluded with Lincecum allowing just two hits over seven scoreless innings.
"It's the ups and downs of the regular season," Medlen said. "We still have a lot of baseball to play. We're going to have some more highs and some more lows. We've just got to have more highs than lows. They are the defending world champions for a reason. They pitched well against us and they absolutely crushed us."
While Lincecum was able to halt his recent struggles, Medlen continued to battle the mechanical issues that have haunted him dating back to Spring Training. The Braves right-hander surrendered three home runs for just the second time in his career and was charged with five runs -- three earned -- and eight hits over 5 1/3 innings.
The Braves entered this season having won each of the previous 23 games started by Medlen. But they have since lost six of the eight games he has started.
"I'm having trouble repeating [my delivery]," Medlen said. "I felt my delivery was awesome the last game in Cincinnati. I just came in and it felt completely opposite of how it had felt. I had no leg drive. I wasn't driving toward the target. It was just a brutal day."
Most of the damage incurred by Medlen came courtesy of solo home runs hit by Brandon Belt, Pablo Sandoval and Marco Scutaro.
The only other time Medlen had surrendered three home runs in a game was June 8, 2010, in Arizona. He surrendered just five home runs as he compiled a 0.97 ERA in the 12 starts that he made last year. But he has now allowed seven home runs in his past seven starts.
"I had nothing but my metaphorical [guts]," Medlen said. "I had to sit there and battle through every pitch. You go to throw a pitch in and it's away. You go to throw a pitch away and it's in. Everything feels flat. I picked a very bad day to have a bad day."
Belt provided the Giants an early advantage with his one-out home run in the second inning and Sandoval extended the advantage when he drilled a changeup deep over the right-field wall and into McCovey Cove with two outs in the third inning.
Dan Uggla's throwing error helped the Giants add a run in the fourth inning and Upton's inability to secure Sandoval's routine fly ball allowed the hosts to cap a two-run fifth inning with Gregor Blanco's two-out RBI double.
The early offensive support provided some comfort for Lincecum, who had allowed five earned runs in both of his previous two starts. Ramiro Pena's infield single in a 25-pitch first inning and Jordan Schafer's third-inning single served as the only hits surrendered by the former Cy Young Award winner, who retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced.
"We haven't really been hitting on all cylinders," Gonzalez said. "We'll get out of here, go to Arizona and get the bats going. We've definitely got guys on our team and in our lineup that can swing the bat and hit. It's still in there."

Poster judging form
I've had several people ask me recently for a copy of my poster judging form, so just in case you were afraid to ask, here it is. The idea is to use tick-boxes (1 to 10 — "atrocious" to "wonderful") to quickly record your thoughts on poster design, poster content, and oral presentation. Click on the image to download a PDF if you'd like to use it. If you ever need it in the future, the most recent version (the one below is a draft) will be near the bottom of my Designing Conference Posters page, in the "Plea to all-powerful meeting organizers" section.

The Supreme Court is considering a case that could reduce consumers' access to the court system to resolve disputes with financial services providers.
Many checking account agreements have what's called a mandatory arbitration clause. While that sounds complicated, all it says is that by signing up for your checking account, you agree to take disputes with your bank to an arbitrator rather than a U.S. court.
Banks love arbitration clauses because it shields them from account holders banding together in a class-action suit over some questionable fee or other practice, and it reduces the costs they bear for frivolous lawsuits.
But consumer advocates say it allows banks to mistreat customers without fear of being held accountable by the court system. After all, it's unlikely one individual customer would take a bank to arbitration over being unfairly charged a few extra bucks in bank fees. Usually it takes a class action to make such a suit worthwhile.
Mandatory arbitration clauses are already fairly ironclad, thanks to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling in AT&T v. Concepcion. In that case, the court concluded that companies were within their rights to require customers to agree to arbitration and hold them to those agreements, even if state law prohibits it.
The case the court is currently considering takes that a step further, asking the court to decide whether merchants can sue American Express under federal law for overcharging them to process debit card and credit card payments, even though a binding arbitration clause prohibits them from doing so. The merchants are arguing that a class-action lawsuit is the only way to enforce their legal rights under federal law, and so they should be able to proceed with one despite it being prohibited by the arbitration clause in their contract with American Express.
Seeing as the composition of the high court is nearly the same as it was when it decided AT&T vs. Concepcion, there's a good chance it will side with American Express in the case. But if that happens, it would be a big change from a current court precedent, called the "effective vindication doctrine." It holds that an arbitration clause can be sidestepped if it's effectively impossible to pursue your rights under the law in arbitration, says Paul Bland, a senior attorney with Public Justice, a public interest law firm in Washington, D.C.
"The real disaster scenario here will be that the court will give lip service to the effective vindication doctrine," Bland says.
In that case, the court would affirm that plaintiffs need to be able to fight for their rights effectively for an arbitration clause to be enforced. But in reality the court would be rubber-stamping companies' methods to comply with that standard, even if those methods are unproven or unworkable, Bland says.
"If that's what happens, it will be terrible for consumers," Bland says.
What do you think? Should bank account holders be able to band together to sue banks in court? Or is arbitration on a case-by-case basis better?

Jill Laster is the language access specialist for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
This Saturday (June 15) is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, and I wanted to write a brief post about thewonderful conversations, trainings, resources and research happening related to sexual violence in later life.

WASHINTON The White House briefing room has always been a bit of a zoo, but on Tuesday afternoon it became official.
In response to the first question of the day, about Egypt, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney made a surprise announcement. "There is an elephant in the room here," he said.
How the animal eluded the Secret Service and found its way into the already cramped briefing room is a mystery, but this much we know: This elephant came from North Africa as a result of the military overthrow last week of Egypt's democratically elected president.

A report showing the unemployment rate fell below 8 percent may give a boost to President Obama's re-election campaign mere days after his widely criticized performance in a debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The Labor Department reported Friday the nation's jobless rate improved to 7.8 percent in September. The unemployment rate hasn't been that low since Obama took the oath of office in January 2009.
What's more, the 0.3 point improvement in the unemployment rate from August to September is, thus far, the greatest improvement in the unemployment rate this year. The year began with an 8.3 percent jobless rate.
"I think it's very significant, and I'm very surprised. I didn't think it was going to be as dramatic as it was," said Raphael J. Sonenshein, director of The Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Cal State Los Angeles.
The question of whether the unemployment rate will be above or below 8 percent has become something of a benchmark in political discourse during the present campaign. Although that figure may be a fairly arbitrary way to measure the Obama Administration's successes or failures, news that unemployment has fallen below the 8 percent line may make it harder for Republicans to gather momentum from Romney's debate performance earlier in the week.
"Campaign events have to go in tandem," Sonenshein said. "If you have a great debate like Romney did, you want to have a few good things to happen to follow it."
With Friday's jobs report on the record, the president and other Democrats heralded the data as a sign of an improving economy. Romney responded with an argument that labor markets are still too weak.
"Today's news should give us some encouragement," Obama said at rally held at Cleveland State University. "It shouldn't be an excuse for the other side to try to talk down the economy just to try to score a few political points."
Or to put it another way, the report may have saved Obama from a disastrous week after his own weak debate performance.
"It was a very needed result for Barack Obama," said Shirley Bebitch Jeffe, senior fellow at USC Price School of Public Policy. "The first thing I thought when I heard about it this morning is `that man is the luckiest man alive."'
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Cerritos, and Assemblywoman Norma Torres, D-Chino, were among Southern California political figures who issued statements saying job report shows the country is headed in a positive direction.
Eric C. Bauman, chairman of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, likewise celebrated the news while acknowledging Americans are awaiting further improvements.
"This jobs report is terrific news; it shows private sector jobs are continuing to expand," he said.
"We still have a long way to go ... We still have too many people who are unemployed. We still have too many people who are underemployed."
The new 7.8 percent unemployment rate still calculates to more than 12 million Americans being out of work despite looking for a job in September. Also, the number of Americans employed part-time for economic reasons increased from 8 million to 8.6 million last month.
At a campaign appearance in Virginia, Romney responded to Friday's news by asserting the jobs data has not shown enough improvements to justify another term for the president.
"These are tough times in this community," Romney told a rally outside a Virginia construction equipment store where he spoke after meeting laid-off coal miners. "We're going to bring back jobs and bring back America."
Similarly, San Bernardino County Republican Party chairman Robert Rego and former state Senate minority leader Jim Brulte said the report may not be enough to convince voters who are anxious about the economy that good times are on the way.
In particular, Rego pointed to the substantial increase of part-time jobs as a sign many voters may not feel their long-term economic prospects are improving.
"When people realize the situation is still dire, it's not going to have an impact on the election," Rego said.
Brulte, who now leads the political consulting group California Strategies, maintained the improvement in the unemployment rate has happened to late in the campaign to change voters' views on the economy.
The last time the unemployment rate fell 0.3 point in a re-election year was when the jobless rate improved to 7.3 percent in October 1992. That was right before George H.W. Bush lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton.
"If it has an effect, it will be a placebo effect," Brulte said. "It's mainly that the hard-core Obama supporters are happier, but all historical evidence is that somewhere around Labor Day, Americans make up their minds as to whether the economy is doing well."
Those kinds of criticisms didn't go as far as others that made their way to social media platforms like Twitter, where former General Electric CEO Jack Welch insinuated the Labor Department put out false numbers to support the president's reelection campaign.
"Unbelievable jobs numbers ... these Chicago guys will do anything ... can't debate so change numbers," Welch wrote.
University of Redlands economist Johannes Moenius said some aspects of the new jobs numbers are confusing, but he doesn't see signs of outright falsehood.
One reason the report can be hard to understand is that while one survey used to produce the data showed an increase of 114,000 nonfarm jobs, another survey of households, showed total employment rose by 873,000 persons last month.
That's a big gap between the two numbers, and Moenius said it's possible the household survey may reflect large numbers of people reporting work at a family business or by attempting to start their own enterprise.
He expects more clarity in two weeks, when state officials release more localized data.
"That should give us some insight as to where this job creation really happened," he said.

- In March, the Fed stated that interest rates may stay abnormally low even when unemployment and inflation are back to normal, but Janet Yellen has given no detailed explanation of why.

It's starting to seem that Mayor Jean Quan's driving record might hamper her re-election hopes this November more than her political record.
The mayor found herself Monday answering for a minor car crash in West Oakland the previous afternoon that some witnesses said was caused by her running a red light while she was distracted by her cellphone.
The accident occurred at 5:30 p.m. Sunday when another driver struck the side of Quan's city-issued Lexus SUV at the intersection of 26th and Market streets.
Neither party sustained serious injuries, but the incident generated extra attention because it came less than a week after KRON-4 aired footage two nights in a row of Quan using her cellphone while driving.
At a brief news conference Monday, Quan said it would be up to police to determine if she had run the red light as she was driving between community events. But she insisted that her phone was either in her purse or on the front seat at the time of the crash.
"I was not on my phone," she said. "My phone records will show that."
The mayor's case got a boost Monday from Shawn Vasquez, a 26-year-old security guard, who said he was parked outside a corner store at the intersection when the crash occurred.
"(The mayor) was going through a yellow light, and the other girl was going through a red light," he told reporters outside City Hall shortly after Quan ended her news conference. He also said that Quan "didn't have her phone in her hand at all."
Not only was Quan not solely to blame for the collision, Vasquez said, but she was the victim of taunts from nearby residents, some of whom yelled at her about the Oakland Raiders and other issues unrelated to the crash.
"The neighbors came out and started cursing at the mayor, calling her a bunch of names and stuff," Vasquez said.
While the accident was minor, the fallout could take a major political toll on the mayor.
David McCuan, a political science professor at Sonoma State University, said the crash was a political liability for Quan because the electorate has grown fatigued by stories about mayoral slip-ups.
"Does this cost her the election? No," he said. "But she keeps running into a wall of baggage with the voters that she can't seem to shake."
Corey Cook, a University of San Francisco political science professor, said the crash had extra traction because it came on the heels of the KRON-4 report and reinforced accusations that Quan's public statements aren't always accurate. "That's why it has legs," he said. "It fits what her opponents have been saying about her."
Police said Monday that they are investigating the crash, which raised fresh questions about whether Quan is a chronic violator of laws against using a cellphone while driving.
On June 1, a picture emerged of what appeared to be Quan texting behind the wheel. A day later, another picture made the rounds on social media of Quan holding a cellphone to her ear while driving, which is illegal under state law.
Four months before Sunday's accident, the mayor was convicted of running a red light in another incident, according to DMV records.
Quan said the violation, which occurred on April 10, 2013, was the result of a rolling right turn she made at a red light camera-enforced intersection in Fremont. She has no other vehicle violations, according to the DMV.
The other driver in Sunday's crash, identified as Lakisha Renee Lovely, 36, of Oakland, has no traffic violation convictions, according to the DMV. Lovely told reporters Sunday that Quan was at fault in the crash, and so did several witnesses.
"I was outside when it happened. I seen the whole thing," said Margarett Randel, 22, of Oakland. "Mayor Quan passed right through the red light. She wasn't looking where she was going. She was looking down."
Quan's spokesman, Sean Maher, said the mayor hadn't decided whether to release her phone records publicly. The records would only show if she was talking or texting; they wouldn't indicate if she was reading something on the phone.
Vasquez works for a private firm as a downtown Oakland security ambassador, which is a city-funded program to prevent crime in the city center.
Wearing his orange ambassador shirt and riding his patrol bike, Vasquez said he loves the mayor and that he pedalled over to Quan's morning news conference without any prodding to give his account. "I was watching the news," he said. "I felt kind of bad the way things were falling apart."

I had the same problem.
I installed BT5R2-GNOME-64 on 8 gb SanDisk USB 2.0 using Linux Live USB Creator ver. 2.8 update 10 with persistent memory at 2.5 gb.
After the first run on Persistent Mode and on reboot, the following message appeared:
xx.xxxxxxxxxx EXT2-fs (loop1) : error : ext2-loopup : deleted inode referenced : 292644
The message appeared continuously with xx.xxxxxxxxx changing all the time, and occassionally the last six digits also changed to 195096.
I did not know how to stop it except to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.
After the computer was restarted, the cycle repeated itself.
As I was using a different brand of USB drive, I suspect the problem is more because of software than hardware.

Growth in business credit applications fell in the past three months following strong growth in the previous two quarters, but the fall may be due to one-off factors, according to a credit check agency.
In the June quarter business loan application growth fell to 4.5 per cent, compared with an average for the financial year of 9.5 per cent, with a particularly big drop in April to 1.9 per cent growth.
Moses Samaha, general manager of commercial credit and supplier risk at credit check agency Veda, says he was surprised by the slowdown in growth and if it is a trend it could mean a reduction in gross domestic product in future as there is a close correlation between credit inquiries and economic growth.
"We saw quite a stall in April in the lead-up to the federal budget and interest rate announcement on the first of May – but whether that's a one-off effect or big enough to slow down the economy [is uncertain]," he says.
After Western Australia, which recorded 8.7 per cent growth in business credit, NSW showed the strongest increase in business credit applications at 5.4 per cent. The strongest interest in debt was shown in the troubled sectors of construction, retail and manufacturing.
Samaha says it is hard to draw firm conclusions from this as there are a number of factors at play.
"Credit is sought either for investment purposes or to buffer cash flows. Construction and manufacturing, if they are driven by the mining sector, may be using credit to invest, but in retail [it may be] to buffer cash flows."
Asset finance applications saw the strongest growth across the country on 6 per cent for the June quarter. However, this is off a low base – demand in this area has been low since the post-global financial crisis stimulus packages were put into asset renewal.
"This could be early signs of [sustained growth in demand] in asset finance, but typically in the fourth quarter things pick up, but this is showing a growth and hopefully businesses are back in the market looking to reinvest," Samaha says.
Lenders use Veda's database of credit defaults and credit payments to check the creditworthiness of applicants. The agency publishes a quarterly assessment of credit applications across business loans, including credit card applications, asset finance and trade finance.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2013 (1692 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Of all the wonderful, thoughtful gifts I received this Christmas, the one I appreciate most is our new hot water tank.
I'll bet you think you appreciate your hot-water tank, but the truth is you are a fool. No one appreciates their hot water tank, at least not until it decides to drop dead just before Christmas.
And that's the thing about hot water tanks -- they are extremely fussy about when they want to give up the ghost. No hot water tank worth its salt is going to die on a typical weekday when you can call in a plumber the very next day.
No, by federal statute, hot water tanks are required to expire on a Friday when the temperature is so bone-chilling cold that, if you had an electric fence, squirrels in your yard would fling themselves into it in a futile effort to stay warm.
This ensures that if you want to call in a plumber on (gasp) a weekend, you will be forced to hand over your life savings along with your first-born male child.
At least that's how my wife explained it to me. When our tank went to the big bungalow in the sky, I suggested we might want to call in a plumber on Saturday due to the fact I am a major weenie and have a pathological aversion to exposing my body to ice-cold water.
My wife, who frequently stops strangers on the street to tell them she is a hardy pioneering woman of Norwegian heritage, explained we could easily survive without hot water for four days and we were not going to call in a plumber on the weekend because money does not grow on trees and what kind of idiot am I anyway.
Normally, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is grab the newspaper, then lie down in a scalding hot bath and fall back to sleep. But this is not practical when your hot water supply has evaporated.
So for four days we were forced to clean selected parts of our bodies by taking cold showers. No, sorry, cold is the wrong word here. What with our soul-destroying sub-Arctic temperatures, these were icy showers, the sort of soul-destroying showers that would cause even stout-hearted penguins to consider wallowing in their own fishy filth rather than expose their pudgy penguin bodies to that sort of extreme cold.
It is hard, armed only with the English language, to describe the sort of physical and mental anguish a human being experiences when taking a shower in freezing water of this nature, but I will try: It is horrible!
Our main bathroom is equipped with a hand-held shower handle, which means we can choose which portions of our anatomy we want to turn into instant ice cubes.
Typically, I would start with my head, due to the fact that, in the morning, my hair resembles a small woodland creature that has crawled up there and died. The moment the icy water hit my skull, however, I immediately lost the ability to think rationally and my fine-motor skills went out the window.
I attempted -- and I tried this just once -- to wash the rest of my body but as soon as the icy spray hit my chest, it caused my heart to stop and I was only able to restart it by immediately pounding on my ribcage with a bottle of Herbal Essences shampoo.
Anyway, after four days, my hair looked fine, but there was a pungent, eye-watering stench rising from the unwashed portions of my body. Fortunately, that's when the plumbers arrived.
If you have ever been in this position before, you will understand why we greeted these men like rock stars or members of the royal family, assuming celebrities of this stature ventured out in public wearing pants that failed to cover significant portions of their buttocular regions, if you catch my general drift.
In a matter of hours the plumbers had performed a true Christmas miracle, ripping out our dead tank and installing a brand-new one that pumps out scalding hot water.
I can't tell you how good it feels to once again immerse my frigid body in gloriously hot water. In fact, as I tap out these words on my portable computer, I am floating, lobster-like, in a steaming tub.
Yes, I am risking electrocution, but I'll bet that would feel wonderful.

March came to Portland like a lion this year starting with over ten inches of snow in my backyard, ending with record high temperatures. Recalling the vision of snowfall from my family room window, I am reminded of the quote by Vista M. Kelly who reminds us that "Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but look what they can do when they stick together." This led me to think about the many faculty members in our College and across UNE who are helping to lead the way in developing interprofessional education and clinical practice at UNE, across the state of Maine and beyond. UNE is well established for its leadership role in advancing interprofessional educational opportunities for our students and translating this to innovative patient and family care. Interprofessional interactions of health care providers will lead to patient-centered care with optimized outcomes and minimal costs. I am very confident that our students clearly show positive characteristics, demonstrating how they can be pharmacists you and others will want on interprofessional teams. UNE Pharmacy students are a reflection of our dedicated and hard working faculty members in addition to our outstanding preceptors who serve as excellent role models for our student pharmacists.
I am reminded of the enthusiasm and power of student pharmacists. I am very excited to report on the American Pharmacists Association meeting in New Orleans. Our College sent twenty two student pharmacists and six faculty members to this conference. It was a thrill to sit in the Academy of Students of Pharmacy meetings where over 2000 student pharmacists from across the country will gather to celebrate their successes, develop policies and elect their national officers. Anyone who has ever attending one of these conferences cannot help but be inspired and confident about the future success of pharmacy and pharmacy practice given the dedication and enthusiasm of these student pharmacists from across the country.
Spring is a busy time in the College. We hosted a visit from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) site visit on March 13-14, 2012. We enjoyed sharing reports on the continued successes and progress of the College over the last year. Our Experiential Education Office is putting the final touches on student placements for our first and second year introductory pharmacy practice experiences as well as the fourth year advanced pharmacy practices experiences for the first time during this month. We are also continuing to interview students for our class of 2016. Our applicant pool remains strong and I am very impressed by the quality and diversity of our students who interview for positions in the College.
Congratulations are in order to many individuals and teams in the area of research at the College. Dr. Erin Koepf, Dr. Cory Theberge and Dr. Srinidi Mohan who were selected as recipients of the University of New England Mini-grant program. The program provides seed funding for faculty members to start promising research projects and is provided by the UNE Office of Research and Scholarship in the Provost Office. The following College of Pharmacy students and faculty research mentors who are the recipients of the 2012 Emily J. Etherton Charitable Lead Student Research Scholarship.

I know students, faculty members and staff members (as well as myself) took a collective sigh of relief and relaxed a little during our spring break. We have started a COP walking group in our efforts to promote health and wellness for faculty and staff members. I ask you how life can be any better when we have so many exciting things going on in the College.
I hope each of you have a great start to the spring season. The College remains very appreciative of the support from the many individuals who serve as preceptors, interviewers or friends of the College through our annual campaign. If you are interested in serving as a preceptor or interviewer, please give my office a call at 207-221-4500 or send me a note at email@example.com.

WBP Discovery & Distribution Winner – One Hundred Mornings
One Hundred Mornings, written and directed by Conor Horgan, is the winner of the WorkBook Project Discovery and Distribution Award. The WBP Discovery and Distribution Award gives a filmmaker an amazing prize consisting of a week long theatrical run in LA with social media, street team and PR support. On top of that, the filmmaker gets to keep the box office and we help to pull together the independent community in an effort to drive awareness around the film. One Hundred Mornings places the audience in a grim future where creature comforts such as electricity, hot water, and supermarkets have ceased to exist. In a wake of a world crisis, two couples head up in a lakeside cabin while the events of the outside world blow over. In a time where the word "recession" is blazoned across thousands of headlines, and the term "Third World America" seems more like a grim reality rather than the subject of a fictional work, One Hundred Mornings resounds with its take on a future where there is very few resources to be had or shared by the human race. Relying heavily on storytelling and character development rather than special effects or ornate love stories, One Hundred Mornings is one behemoth of a film. It's dystopians roots show with the interpersonal relations in the story and the way they erode as the film goes on. Though eerie, One Hundred Mornings has a definite base on the very real possibility that this might be where the world is in a few decades or years. Be sure to check this film out if you're in LA. The theatrical release will kick off Sept 16th at the Downtown Independent Theater. Event info here.
Noveller is the solo project of Sarah Lipstate. Her music is soothing, but it is charged with a dramatic quality that rises from the electric distortions and peeps. The tracks are understated, but the intricate layering of audio creates drama within her musical pieces. It is amazing to hear electric guitar distortions being turned into organic sounds and musical aspects of nature. Currently, Noveller and unFact are touring (TOUR INFO) the United States of America and Canada, and will be coming to Brooklyn in September. Her latest album, Desert Fires, is available on CD via Lipstate's own Saffron Recordings. On top of Sarah being an incredible musician and a RADAR favorite, she is also an incredible avant-garde filmmaker, with two short films that have screened at SXSW.

Fashion Geek – Diana Eng
Fashion Geek written by Diana Eng shines a light on the point where style and technology converge. If Diana Eng is a recognizable name, that is because her collection was featured in our RADAR episode Fairytale Fashion (RADAR – Ep 31). Others might remember her for her Project Runway fame a few years ago where she gained recognition for being a "nerdy" fashion designer. She did not win her season, but the show put her on the map as a fashion designer that chooses to infuse whimsical fashion with cutting edge technology. Her book is a direct reflection of her combined love of LED lights and bright fabrics, but instead of simply showcasing her fashion aesthetic she uses the book to show how to add technological flares to common scarfs, hoodies, and other girlie articles of clothing. The guides are simple because of the step by step directions accompanied by full color photos to see how the project is supposed to turn out. Diana Eng places emphasis on the need for girls to learn math, science, and electronics, and she does a great job infusing the art of designing with the practicalities of technology.

At first glance Hyperbole and a Half looks like the brainchild of a elementary school kid with a penchant for Microsoft Paint. But after reading the latest post, always accompanied by one of Allie Brosh's hilariously disfigured drawings, the blog's tone becomes more than apparent. Allie Brosh is a devastatingly honest and silly blogger with ability to put into words and drawings the most awkward experiences and take the severity out of them. In her FAQs she admits that she draws cruddy drawings because they are funny, and she is totally right. Her distorted figures have the voice of the common man, who has to suffer with insecurities dancing and a severe fear of horror movies. It's hard not to smirk when scrolling down this genuinely sincere blog.

Giacomo Meyerbeer (a German despite his adopted first name) was the toast of Paris for 30 years until his death in 1864, but his work is rarely performed today. An historically important figure, he paved the way for the next generation of composers, Wagner among them – Meyerbeer's grand opera anticipating the harmonic adventurism and behemoths of late romanticism. And at over four hours, 'Robert le Diable' is pretty substantial, if mostly in length.
The gothic themes, ridiculous to us now, are held together by hooky plot – jousting knights, the son of the Devil, a magic branch – played out at a snail's pace. Laurent Pelly's production (sets by Chantal Thomas), however, has much fun with the clunky medievalism – flying in the armoured knights on wires and lowering them on to brightly coloured plastic horses; the ladies of the chorus, too, painted in single primary colours; and the wild mountains represented by huge Durer-esque engravings. The obligatory ballet in a cursed abbey was amusingly danced by randy zombie nuns.
Although the pacing creates many longueurs, there was much singing to enjoy, notably great choral writing and exciting soloists. Never mind Top Cs, the American dramatic tenor Bryan Hymel reached further into the stratosphere and fearlessly remained there, while holding attention with his burly presence. His devilish mentor, Bertram, was sung by bass John Relyea in a wonderfully dark voice, straight from hell. The love interest Princess Isabelle was played by Patricia Ciofi, who received a rapturous welcome on account of taking over the role at three days' notice. She went on to receive thunderous curtain call, having produced tuneful coloratura while competing with a large chorus and orchestra playing to the max under Daniel Oren. (The role was scheduled to be sung by Jennifer Rowley, but apparently it 'didn't work out'!) Marina Poplavskya's cool soprano had no trouble singing Alice, but was, perhaps, too powerful for such a simple character. Overall, a stodgy opera rescued by a great production.

Best Weekly Planners to Stay Organized & Productive in 2014
We could all be a little more organized, especially when it comes to keeping track of our daily lives and responsibilities. So what better time to get back on track than during the new year?
We could all be a little more organized, especially when it comes to keeping track of our daily lives and responsibilities. So what better time to get back on track than during the new year?
The start of a brand new year is a time for renewal and new beginnings, and getting your life organized is the perfect way to create a fresh start in 2014.
But as much as we love writing things down in planners just in general (there's something much more rewarding about seeing it in ink than in a cell phone, don't you agree?), it's much more fun when the planners are cute, creative and highly functional.
Instead of the boring old and cheap designs you can find at a drugstore, opt for one of these pretty planners for 2014. Keeping track of your appointments, meetings and dinner dates become a fun part of your day rather than a tedious chore when you can scribble them down in one of these adorable weekly planners. (A few notes of encouragement and some brightly colored pens also don't hurt).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/9/2012 (1789 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sarah Esperanza had been in Winnipeg for a year when her sponsors set up an appointment for her so she could collect welfare.
But when she got to the appointment back in 1983, the immigrant from El Salvador realized she could not go through with it.
"It's not what we came here for," the ebullient Esperanza said recently, remembering her thoughts at the time. Now, 30 years later, she is an employer, a property owner, a landlord and a great-grandmother of Canadian children.
That decision at the welfare office was a brave and landmark moment for Esperanza, who'd just been through more than two years of unimaginable uncertainty and danger. At one point, she was hiding from immigration officials with her three small children in Dallas, then landing in a freezing-cold country she knew nothing about in the middle of February, with no education, no money, no friends. She didn't know a soul.
But after working hard and saving money, she started a store and for more than 13 years now, she's been the proprietor of El Izalco, the go-to Latin American grocery store in Winnipeg for items such as corn flour, chiles, frijol salvadore±o beans, vanilla and authentic salsa.
The funky Sargent Avenue store with its mishmash of bulk and packaged goods, faded pinatas hanging from the ceiling and Esperanza's Pomeranian, Pancho, barking a greeting to every new customer would definitely be out of place in the St. Vital Centre shopping mall.
But it's a fixture in the West End, where customers of every ethnic persuasion come to shop, many of whom have learned a little Spanish from the charming shopkeeper with gold dental work and a flower in her hair.
"It is not like a factory of money," she said in her expressive but grammatically choppy English. "I have here friendship. Everyone is my friend. Everybody."
That includes some of the neighbourhood's street workers who Esperanza said she never turns away.
It's partly because she can remember enduring her own terrible hardships.
She left war-torn El Salvador in 1982 with only $70 in her pocket, forced to leave her three young children with her mother-in-law. She eventually found work in Dallas -- as an illegal alien -- and was able to get her children out a year later. But not long after, U.S. immigration authorities discovered her and gave her 30 days before she would be deported to El Salvador.
A co-worker told her of a Dallas church called Casa Americana Libre that could help her emigrate to Canada. She went into hiding with her children while the paperwork was being prepared, borrowed the money for plane tickets from the Canadian government and flew to Winnipeg.
The young mother of three, who never experienced a day in school in her life, did not know where or even what Canada was. She still does not know why Winnipeg was her port of entry.
"All I knew was that it was a safe place," she said. "I am not saying I am being the wise person. But sometimes we question God's will too much. When there is a will from God, everything comes into right place."
Her Canadian angels were a group of kind souls from St. Andrews United Church led by the late Marjorie Spence.
After answering a call to sponsor a single mother of three (Esperanza's husband arrived a couple of years later), the group had a furnished apartment with a fridge full of food and money in the bank waiting for her.
"Like I say, when there is God's will, everything falls into some place," she said with tears in her eyes as she recalled the goodwill of strangers.
As much as Esperanza seems at home now in her Latin American haven in the heart of the winter city, her experience as an uneducated immigrant who knew no English was a challenging one.
She said she probably worked at just about every little garment factory in the city back in the '80s. And when her husband, an experienced construction worker, arrived in Winnipeg, one of his early employers tried to take advantage of him and pay him a lot less than he deserved.
"Some new immigrants suffer so much," she said. "Employers take advantage because of the language barrier and insufficient ways to explain what we want."
Even though she grew up poor in a land-less family, her mother ran a sort of community barter operation so Esperanza thinks she has business in her blood.
While she was being interviewed for this story, a woman came into the back of the store to pay her rent.
With some pride in her voice, Esperanza said it was one of her tenants. A year ago, she bought the two-storey commercial building that houses her store.
"I own it in partnership with the government and the bank," she said, sounding just like the seasoned small-business owner she has become.

PRINCETON, N.J. – A split on Saturday, a split on Sunday, leading to a split series for the University of Pennsylvania baseball team this weekend versus Princeton.
Penn (22-14, 13-3 Ivy) split its Ivy League doubleheader with the Tigers on Sunday, falling 4-2, in game one, and bouncing back to win game two, 6-1.
The Quakers and Princeton (12-22, 7-9 Ivy) also split on Saturday, with Penn winning 2-0, before dropping game two, 6-4.
Game one saw spurts of offensive production, but not much, with both teams managing five hits each. Penn took a brief 1-0 lead in the second inning after Ryan Mincher and Rick Brebner singles put runners on first and third base. Brebner would then steal second, drawing an errant throw from Princeton's catcher sending Mincher home for the first run of the day.
The Tigers would get to Penn starter Dan Gautieri in the third inning, tallying four hits and three runs. The junior right-hander (2-5) would give up consecutive singles, followed by a walk, followed by another single, and a double. In the inning onepotential run for Princeton would be cut down on an outfield assist from Brebner, to shortstop Mincher, to catcher Austin Bossart.
The Quakers batsfell relatively silent, until the ninth inning, when Mitch Montaldo led off the inning with a solo home run to left field, his fifth of the season.
Penn stranded nine runners on base against the Tigers in game one.
Needing a win in game two, junior left-handed pitcher Ronnie Glenn (4-2) rose to the occasion, throwing six innings, allowing no runs, scattering five hits, while striking out 10 Princeton batters.
The lull of offensive production continued early into game two for both teams, until Penn broke out for three runs in the sixth inning. The Quakers loaded the bases on a Jeff McGarry single, Ryan Mincher walk, and Matt Greskoff walk. With two outs, Mike Vilardo doubled to left-center, clearing the bases, and giving Penn a 3-0 lead.
Penn added one in the seventh inning when Austin Bossart scored on a wild pitch. Princeton would also add a run in the seventh off of reliever Cody Thomson, making the game 4-1.
Senior Rick Brebner would extend the Quakers lead once more in the eighth inning, hitting a towering two-run home run to right field, making it 6-1.
After setting down the Tigers in order in the eighth, Thomson would run into trouble in the ninth inning, loading the bases with one out. Freshman Mike Reitcheck would come on and get two strikeouts, shutting down the Princeton threat, earning his fifth save of the season.
Up next, Penn will face Columbia (21-15, 13-3 Ivy) in home-and-home doubleheaders on Friday at Penn, and Saturday at Columbia. The winner of the four-game series will represent the Gehrig Division in the Ivy League Championship Series.
During the Friday doubleheader at Meiklejohn Stadium, Penn will recognize its six seniors in between games.

Newly released emails show the lengths to which a top Air Force officer went to help a fellow fighter pilot get a new assignment and advance in his career after overturning the pilot's sex assault conviction.
The 330 pages of documents reveal how Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin, Third Air Force commander, intervened on behalf of Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, the former Aviano Air Base, Italy, inspector general, whom Franklin believed was wrongly convicted by a military jury in November of sexually assaulting a sleeping houseguest.
The dozens of emails also show Franklin was cautioned about the potential impact of granting clemency in the high-profile case. And they show Franklin had the support of the head of U.S. European Command, Gen. Philip Breedlove, who wrote to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh that he could not "think of ANY Air Force officer who would have given this more personal effort than [Franklin]. I stand behind his decision."
The emails, posted late last month to the Air Force Freedom of Information Act website, rekindled outcries from victim advocates and some lawmakers who say the exchanges by top brass show a biased military justice system in need of overhaul.
The exchanges "show the need to create unbiased system of justice in [the] military so victims of sexual assault get justice they deserve," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said in an Aug. 30 Twitter post.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., called the Wilkerson case "everything that's wrong with the blind protection of the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
"The military says taking cases like these out of the chain of command will negatively impact morale," Speier said in a statement. "I think it's clear that the chain of command chose the future of one soldier over the integrity of the entire Air Force. Against any measure of better judgment, they thumbed their noses at the victim, her family and justice in general. This closed system of power is truly amazing in its arrogance."
Franklin's emails "reinforce the need for commanders to be completely stripped of their authority to overturn jury verdicts," Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. said in a statement.
Nancy Parrish, president of Protect Our Defenders, said the documents illustrate current Pentagon reforms do little to ensure victims of sex assault are treated fairly.
"Breedlove's comments prove that moving the decision [to prosecute these cases] farther up the chain of command does not equate with a more fair judicial process, but instead ensures more of the same," she said.
On Feb. 26, Franklin tossed out the conviction of Wilkerson, who had been sentenced to a year in prison and a dismissal. Wilkerson was immediately released from a South Carolina brig and now serves as chief of flight safety at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz.
The emails
Franklin's interest in Wilkerson's future following the conviction was immediate. When the lieuenant general was told Nov. 3 Wilkerson would be kicked out of the Air Force, Franklin sent this one-sentence reply: "Does he receive his retirement?" The name of the recipient is redacted.
"There are no winners here," Franklin wrote in a Nov. 9 email. "I feel terrible for the Wilkerson family, the victim and our Air Force."
The documents also show Franklin was convinced of Wilkerson's innocence after his review of the case, which included nearly 100 clemency letters from friends, family and co-workers written on the convicted man's behalf.
"I am sleeping very well knowing I made the right call and that an innocent man is free," he wrote in a March email.
Franklin expressed frustration with the Air Force system when he learned the overturned conviction did not mean an automatic restoration of Wilkerson's security clearance and promotion to colonel.
Wilkerson had been selected to pin on the rank of O-6 before he was accused of sex assault. He was removed from the promotions list in January, about a month before Franklin threw out the verdict.
Wilkerson would have to appeal to the Air Force Board for Corrections of Military Records to return to the promotions list, the three-star was told in one email.
Franklin called that process "insulting" to Wilkerson and his family "after all they have been through." He asked whether he could make a request for correction to colonel on Wilkerson's behalf.
"I will call the [Air Force Personnel Center] directly," Franklin said in a Feb. 28 email.
The three-star was told by one official in an email that his personal intervention in the corrections board process would "certainly carry a lot of weight not only due to your rank, but that you also reviewed the entire case."
Franklin offered to advise Wilkerson about his military career. "I would assure him he has a great future and his record is very competitive for" operations group commander, he wrote in one email.
Parrish, of Protect Our Defenders, said Franklin's involvement was startling. "We can see what goes into this type of case, and it's very disturbing," she said. "We just saw the extreme lengths the military brass goes to protect each other's backs. You see senior officers valuing their friends and senior officers. They believe the people they know and trust versus those they don't. This is an old boy's network rather than an independent, impartial and professional justice system."
But Duke University law professor and retired Maj. Gen. Charles Dunlap said such efforts by a commander would not be improper.
"If you come to the conclusion the person is innocent, then it would be unconscionable not to try to restore an innocent man to where he was before the accusation was made," Dunlap said. "That's without me approving of the factual decision [Franklin] made."
Undisclosed affair
By March 5, Wilkerson had decided to take the Third Air Force commander up on the offer to talk about his future in the Air Force. Three days later, Franklin canceled because of "schedule changes and all the media interest that my decision has generated," according to an email he sent. He said any personal contact with Wilkerson could be "misconstrued."
That same day, Franklin received an email with the subject line: "info: Wilkerson security clearance." The name of the sender was redacted.
Wilkerson "wanted me to convey to you his promise that there is no adverse information to his knowledge outside the charges brought against him in court," according to the message.
That turned out not to be true. The Air Force announced in June it had disciplined Wilkerson for an extramarital affair that resulted in a child with a woman other than his wife more than eight years earlier. The Air Force, which did not learn about the affair or the child until after Franklin's reversal, said it could not say what action it took against Wilkerson or what ramifications it would have on his career.
It is unclear whether Franklin's efforts to restore Wilerson's security clearance have been successful. There also has been no announcement of promotion to colonel for Wilkerson.
Franklin cautioned
Air Force leaders were aware, to some degree, of the potential ripple effects of dismissing the sex assault conviction, the emails show.
Breedlove wrote in a Feb. 26 email that he and Franklin had "discussed in depth the meaning and possible blow back."
Welsh wrote in a March 12 email to Franklin: "It's going to be a little uncomfortable for awhile. Hang in there."
But an email from Brig. Gen. Scott Zobrist, commander of the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano at the time, would turn out to be most prophetic. A week before Franklin overturned the conviction, Zobrist cautioned that a dismissal of the verdict would "have a huge negative impact on morale, send a very negative message about how seriously we take sexual assault in the Air Force and potentially call into question the effectiveness of our UCMJ in general."
The backlash was almost immediate. Franklin's decision was rare — the Air Force could find only five sex assault cases in five years in which a commander exercised clemency authority — but it came at a time when the military was already under scrutiny for its handling of sex assaults.
Lawmakers have introduced bills that would make varying changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. One plan would move sex assault cases out of the chain of command entirely. All of the bills would strip a commander's authority to overturn a jury's guilty verdict in major crimes — a change supported by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. ■
