Hot Toys Terminator Salvation MMS95 John Connor is finally here to save our collections! After T-3s (Rise of the Machines) less than stellar reception, fans were really exited when the Terminator Salvation trailers starting airing. Many have waited sends 1984 to see more of The Future War that has mesmerized and horrified us from the start. Finally, with an entire movie dedicated to just that hitting theaters earlier this year and slated to hit Blu-ray and DVD this fall, many of us could hardly wait. Wed follow John Connor as he rises through the ranks and gets one step closer to being the great military leader he is destined to be.
However, even though I liked the movie, it wasnt well received in the U.S. and didnt even break even at the box office. All wasnt lost though because it made more than double the domestic amount overseas. Love it or Hate it, Terminator Salvation was here to stay. More importantly, it spawned an entire line of Hot Toys figures that are so incredible, words dont do them justice.
Again, Hot Toys created a new design specifically for their Terminator Salvation line that coincides with the feel of the movie. The package is highly stylized and yet it maintains its original purpose of protecting the figure. It has and outer sleeve thats not as large as what weve become accustomed to, but thats only because Hot Toys wanted to draw attention to the main package itself. The main packaging material is made of compressed Styrofoam, and has all sorts of detailing embroidered into it. Even though the foam is exposed to damage during handling, it is sturdy enough to keep the figure safe.
Furthermore, I must add that the package is really sturdy, so its not like it will get damaged during regular handling. The sleeve hugs the foam nicely, and helps to keep the two halves of the main packaging together. It also has a nice print of various images of the figure, a short character bio, and associated licensing information. One thing I noticed is that hot Toys misspelled the word SCALE in the figure description. I think that these kinds of mistakes can be easily avoided with a simple spell-check. Other than that small error, the packaging is a nice collectable within itself. Ive already seen many collector use is as a cool backdrop/diorama for their figures.
Even though there was a delay involving the figures head-sculpt, it was well warranted because this improved head-sculpt is simply outstanding!
Arguably, it looks just like Christian Bale and its not until you see the figure in person that you can really appreciate it. Hot Toys captured everything from the texture of the skin, wrinkles on the forehead, to the facial hair and stylish chinstrap goatee. To summarize things, its Christian Bale incarnate even down to his intimidating glare. Make sure to order your figures now, because a head-sculpt this great is sure to become a milestone in the world of 1:6th collectables.
The figure can take on every Terminator collectible on your shelf and survive with ammo to spare.
First off, the figure comes with a pair of sculpted boots. While the lasses are sculpted, they are nicely executed as they appear to be wrapped around the boot at the top. The pants are weathered to look like Connor wore them to hell and back.
The knee pads are made of real rubber and appear to be tailored to the pants. Connor also sports a black body shirt underneath his pleather jacket. The jacket is extremely well done as almost everything is double stitched. It also has an inner lining that accurately represents wool insulation. Furthermore, while some have expressed concerns about the jacket deteriorating, it seems like theres nothing to worry about as long as the figure isnt exposed to the elements. Additionally, the figure comes with one pair of hands with sculpted gloves. The gloves fingertips are made to look like they have been cut off, and both hands sport trigger fingers. To round things off, Connor bears the identifying Resistance patch and red armband around his left arm.
The figure also includes a Tactical full body harness, Headset, Radio, six M4 magazine pouches and seven magazines (above), 2 Pistol Magazine pouches and three magazines, one shotgun magazine, four Demolition blocks, a Drop leg panel (above), a grappling hook and launcher, spring loaded pistol, M4 rifle with spring loaded shotgun attachment, and finally a wrist harness, knife and knife sheath...everything needed to whoop Sky-Nets butt!
The only thing to look out for is the weak Velcro used by Hot Toys for their figures. They dont grip as well as one would like, so be careful not to drop and lose anything under your sofa because of the Lazy-Velcro/ not-so Magic Tape.
The figure comes with one of Hot Toys True-Type bodies, so you can get the figure into an unlimited amount of poses. The one thing to look out for would be the wrist pegs. Mine are OK, but caution is needed when handling the figure because he pegs seem to be the weakest link in Hot Toys True-Type bodies. Furthermore, the tailoring and accessories are also nicely made and do not interfere too much with the figures pose-ability.
Hot Toys hit another Home Run here in the paint department. The prior head-sculpt left a lot to be desired, but the improved one is ridiculously cool! Overall, the figure looks like it has seen many battles and on the whole seems very weathered. However, the paint application on the head is what really makes the figure stand out. Connor has a dirty, sun burnt, under groomed paint application over the larger areas of his face.
In addition, the eyes have a nice sheen to it with just enough of a fleshy area around them to make it worthy of a spot in a wax museum. They say a picture says a thousand words, but thats of no consequence when a figure like this merits 3K or more. Seriously, its that good.
Again, theres one thing to look out for. The beard on some figures seem to have varying levels of paint application an the beard, making it look a little inaccurate. Its basically blind luck if you order the figure and get the one you want, but if you have the opportunity to scan the figure before you buy it, I suggest you do.
Hot Toys Terminator Salvation John Connor retails for $139.99 and is a steal if you can find one for less. The head-sculpt and accessories alone make it worth the price, so when you consider the tailoring and the fact that its John Connor .. its really a no brainer. Fans of the franchise will love this figure, fans of Hot Toys will also, and those just looking to pick up a cool military figure will love it as well.
My suggestion to everybody whos considering getting one of these is to place an order now before its too late. This figure is sure to become a grail to some in the near future, so get yours before its too late.

And then there was one. In the best season for rookie quarterbacks in NFL history, a gunslinger from the West—the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson—is the last man standing.
Going into the season, Wilson wasn't considered to be in the same class as the 1-2 punch at the top of the draft, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. But the quarterback underestimated as a third-round flyweight is still scrapping away in the divisional playoffs.
— Brown: Redskins risk RG3's long-term health by keeping him on field
While Wilson outdueled the banged-up Griffin as a passer (15-for-26, 187 yards, TD, 92.9 rating) and runner (eight carries, 67 yards) in Seattle's hard-fought 24-14 win at Washington, Luck had just been belted on the Beltway in a 24-9 loss at Baltimore. Griffin's magical run came to a crashing end amid another injury concern, and the abuse Luck took all season behind the Colts' shaky offensive line finally caught up to him.
Then there's Wilson, who was near-flawless and fearless, despite an oft-blitzing Redskins defense sacking him five times. In the end, the 5-foot-11, 207-pound Wilson did more effective counter-punching with his arm and legs.
Wilson's reward was his first career playoff win and another playoff road game, next Sunday in Atlanta. He now has more career playoff wins than Matt Ryan and as many as Matt Schaub. Looking at the seven other quarterbacks still playing, Wilson has had a direct hand in beating three of them in the regular season—Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Colin Kaepernick.
Wilson started his rookie season as more of a caretaker type with running back Marshawn Lynch carrying the burden of moving the ball. But as the Seahawks loosened the reins, and the big plays started coming, Wilson grew confident with each passing week, to the point he no longer is out of place among the league's more established top quarterbacks.
— Seahawks win: Recap | Box score | Video
The fact Wilson is still deemed undersized is becoming more irrelevant because he's doing the little things the greats do right. He doesn't panic, makes good decisions and few mistakes. Watching him calmly operate against Washington in a hostile environment, there was no such thing as playoff inexperience.
Put Wilson in a lineup with the other playoff quarterbacks and it's misleading. Joe Flacco is the tallest at 6-6. Schaub and Peyton Manning are 6-5. Ryan, Brady and Kaepernick are all 6-4. Even Rodgers, at 6-2, has a good three inches on Wilson.
But then you look up at the passer ratings, and of the quarterbacks left, only Rodgers (108.0) and Manning (105.8) were more efficient than Wilson (100.0) in the regular season. That eye test tells you he measures up with the veterans, and then some.
Throwing for 26 touchdowns vs. 10 interceptions are the numbers you expect from a winning playoff quarterback. That's not even factoring in Wilson's running, which has become a much bigger factor over the past six games, all resounding Seattle victories.
For so much talk of who was better as a rookie, Griffin III or Luck, Wilson is the one who trumped them both, and was worthiest of stacking up with the divisional round heavyweights. Everyone expects Griffin and Luck to be special over the long haul, but Wilson has combined the best assets of both rookies to have his dazzling debut endure.
Wilson was the underdog, but he has built up the evidence to suggest he should have been a favorite all along.
Seahawks DE Chris Clemons (knee). This is a big concern for Seattle's defense against Ryan and the Falcons' elite passing game. It is feared Clemons, who led the team with 11.5 sacks through a most durable regular season, has a serious injury. If so, it will be up to rookie Bruce Irvin and others to help dial up the pass rush.
Ravens LB Dannell Ellerbe (ankle). While Ray Lewis made his triumphant return to Baltimore's linebacker corps, Ellerbe kept up his strong play with eight tackles and a few pressures on the Colts' Andrew Luck. The sprain caused him to leave the wild-card game. Baltimore needs him back in the lineup against Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
Packers TE Jermichael Finley (shoulder). Finley got banged up in the win over the Vikings, but coach Mike McCarthy said he should be ready to go against the 49ers. Given the Finley has become more involved as an underneath receiver, that's good news for Rodgers.
Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (knee). Unfortunately, Wilson's joy was offset by Griffin's pain. Let's hope the dangerous late-season ride of RG3 doesn't have long-term effects, and he comes back savvier and stronger in his second year.

ESPN is reporting that the Colts are after a CFL defensive tackle.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/88...ll-major-needsGrigson also confirmed that the Colts are in strong pursuit of 300-pound defensive tackle Armond Armstead, who has been playing in the Canadian Football League.
"He was here on a visit, he's a talented guy, I feel he fits this defense nice and had some versatility with this defense," Grigson said.
I wonder if they're looking at him as a DE. Seems like a bigger need than DT.

Herbalife (HLF) should be higher, not lower, given this preannouncement of a better-than-expected quarter.
Earlier, before the release of this good news, I speculated on the notion that if Herbalife can maintain its actual business momentum this battle will come down Bill Ackman and a potential U.S. government investigation vs. the firepower of Dan Loeb and Carl Icahn, two very motivated hedge fund managers who think that the negatives are much ado about nothing.
Dan Loeb bought this stock very well, right into the teeth of Ackman's anti-charm offensive against HLF. My friend David Faber speculated that Loeb may have exited the stock, the implication being that any trade predicated upon Loeb's continued presence in the name may be misplaced.
After this preannouncement, that may no longer be the case.
Remember, everyone has a say here. Herb Greenberg has done a documentary that calls what HLF does into question. Ackman thinks this whole thing is one big pyramid scheme, which is basically illegal in this country.
Loeb and Icahn may have thought it cheap and still do.
I look at the numbers and what CEO Michal Johnson has said repeatedly on "Mad Money," that the company is cheap and the cash flow strong and the capital will be used to buy back stock because the business model allows for a huge spewing of cash. Remember, caught up in the whole negativity of mid-level marketing is a simple fact: it is a very inexpensive business because the distributors do your advertising and there is no brick-and-mortar retail expense.
That's why there is so much cash flow to buy back shares.
I understand that there were some market participants who are disappointed with the fact that Johnson didn't detail what the buyback from here will be like.
Those participants don't understand tactics or strategy.
Johnson's tactics are to be coy about timing. Why not buy cheaply rather than expensively?
His strategy? I believe that if the stock stays down here because of the publicity the company would be better served being private as it was before Johnson got there.
I continue to believe it is a battleground of enormous proportions, but for the moment the axis has tilted toward HLF/Loeb and against Ackman/potential government investigation because of these quintessentially better-than-expected numbers.

As someone who has watched wrestling since 1988 (4 years old), I too long for something new and different. I agree that the product has become stale over the years.

GSA Administrator Johnson Unveils Major Renovations to Atlanta's MLK Federal Building
First federal building named after civil rights icon rededicated.
January 14, 2011
Contact: Sara Merriam, (202) 525-8165
ATLANTA — Today, GSA Administrator Martha Johnson, Rep. John Lewis (GA-5), Reverend Joseph E. Lowery, and members of the King family gathered for a rededication of Atlanta's Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Building. GSA recently completed renovations to the Depression-era building, the first federal building nationwide named to honor the civil rights leader.
"It's only fitting that a historic and sustainable building embody a historic and sustainable dream," said Johnson. "GSA's renovation of this Atlanta landmark shows what can be achieved when we maintain historic elements that make a building special while integrating new technologies to make it more efficient. This renovation will ensure that the building honors Dr. King's legacy long into the future."
The renovation showcases many "green" technologies and historic preservation practices. For example, all materials used were either recycled or manufactured within 500 miles of the site to cut down on the environmental impact of the renovation. GSA also cut the buildings' long term energy use by installing an adjustable lighting system that takes into account natural light, low flow plumbing fixtures, and an insulated and reflective roof to help regulate the temperature inside the building. To preserve the historic building, approximately 6,000 façade stones were removed, tagged and cataloged for precise replacement in their original location. Inside, original paint colors, plaster and stonework were restored.
GSA employed more than 800 people in the multiyear, $62 million renovation. Much of the building's aging electrical, mechanical, and plumbing infrastructure was replaced, adding decades to the useful life of the building.
The MLK Building served as a post office from its completion in 1933 until GSA acquired it in 1983. In 1988, it became the first federal building to bear the name of the famous civil rights leader. It has housed several federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Currently, the building serves as a regional headquarters for the U.S. General Services Administration.
# # #
As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 210,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services making up more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen engagement; and,
• Promoting responsible use of federal resources through development of governmentwide policies ranging from federal travel to property and management practices.

Painter went off verbally on an official, drew consecutive technical fouls, and was ejected. At least somebody from Purdue's program showed that they cared about how the game was unfolding.
"You get to that certain point, you want your team to play harder, you want your team to embrace the physicality of the game," Painter said in a post-game news conference. "And they weren't."
It won't get any easier for Painter or his players. They travel to Bloomington on Saturday (2 p.m., ESPN) to face the No. 1-ranked Hoosiers.
In some regards, it's really unfathomable that this situation is occurring in West Lafayette. Not the Boilermakers (12-13, 5-7 Big Ten) losing at Illinois, though they had won eight consecutive over their nearby rivals. Heck, top-ranked Indiana lost in Champaign recently. However, the fact that Painter is often having to coerce his team into showing effort has to be mind-blowing the Purdue Fans. After all, this is Purdue for Gene Keady's sake.
"(Illinois) was quicker to the basketball," Painter said. "They were able to establish that really from the first couple possessions. Their effort was a lot better than ours."
How apathetic was Purdue, which is in desperate need for a win, any win? The Boilermakers scored the initial four points of the game and then allowed the Illini to take off on runs of 10-2, 8-0 and 7-0 at varying points of the first half. And it got worse following halftime.
At one point in the second half, Illinois put the game away (which is where Painter's technical came) through an 11-0 tear, which gave it a 24-point advantage.
"The fact that they had energy," Painter explained, "and they were making hustle plays on top of that. We didn't play hard enough, obviously we didn't play well enough, and really it's unacceptable."
Many will point to the youth of Painter's team to explain away its inconsistencies. Even Michigan State coach Tom Izzo cited that about the Boilers following its fifth consecutive double-digit win over Purdue.
However, Painter is having none of that.
"I'm tired of hearing the fact that we're young," Painter said Wednesday. "I'm tired of hearing that. They're 18, 19 years old (and) they've played major college basketball here for three, four months. It's not that big a deal, it really isn't. It's a young game. You just can't be immature, and we're immature."
Purdue has built a foundation of success on grit, hustle and toughness, coupled with a bit of skill and the result generally is an overachieving team that makes Mackey Arena swell with pride.
The 2012-13 version has proven to be the antithesis of that formula.
This year's group appears to be a team that lacks skill, toughness and can't even be relied upon to consistently work hard. Boiler Nation has needed a Boilermaker to help them get through this season.
"It's February, and it's time to stop using the fact that we're young as an excuse," junior guard Terone Johnson echoed on Wednesday. "I can't explain why Illinois played harder than we did this time. That can't happen."
But it did. And it continues to happen.

New Book Perpetuates Popular Misperceptions Surrounding Gene Patents
Based on the title, I had some idea of where the book was going, but was frankly shocked by the gross misstatements of patent law, particularly with respect to so-called "gene patents." For example, at one point he states that one who has "successfully filed a patent over a non-engineered sheep gene [suddenly becomes] the owner of at least a part of every new and existing sheep in the world." Later he argues that gene patents "might be an affront to individual liberty and equality" because patent owners "have rights over parts of ourselves over which we as possessors of those parts have no particular rights." He goes on to conclude that "having babies would actually technically violate a patent if that baby carries a patented gene given it is the result of an unauthorized reproduction." He then asserts that "technically, each of us carrying a gene that has been patented runs the risk of making unauthorized reproductions simply by virtue of reproducing. When we passed that gene onto our progeny we have technically violated the patent."
All of these scenarios would indeed raise serious ethical concerns if they had any basis in reality, but in fact all are mere figments of the author's imagination resulting from his profound misunderstanding of patent law. I would guess that most readers of this blog recognize how badly this book mischaracterizes the nature of gene patents. Unfortunately, with celebrities like Michael Crichton making similar assertions, these alarmist and irrational fears surrounding gene patents have been adopted by some members of Congress, as exemplified by the bill introduced a couple years ago by Congressman Becerra to outlaw gene patents (H.R. 977, 110th Congress (2007)).
The author of the book, David Koepsell, has posted his response to my review, which questioned my motives based on my past employment in the biotechnology industry but failed to identify any substantive errors in my attempt to correct his misstatements of law.
The author's response to my book review seems to have generated more controversy than the review itself, as exemplified by this blog post by a law professor at the University Chicago.
The book was also panned by Patent Doc Kevin Noonan last June (I published my review prior to seeing Kevin's take on the book).

Actually, Chris, Noonan panned my post at IPWatchdog, not my book. He had not yet read book yet, as you still seem to have totally missed the bulk of it. See my point-by-point response to your allegations of error here
Given your penchant for accuracy, I thought I'd correct that bit of the record for you.
all best,

...and I am not trying to be snarky, I really just wanted to make it clear that Noonan at most was panning the title of my book, and my post at IPWatchdog, and not the book itself which he had not yet read. I expect if he does read it, he'll have the same or similar objections you have, though.

Chris, unfortunately this is just another in a series of anti-patent diatribes by people who have not taken the time to understand the law or the facts. This decade has seen a concerted effort to demonize our patent system. One of the most egregious cases has been the attempt to suggest that intellectual property rights are not consistent with property rights. The proponents of this theory state that property rights are based on "scarcity." This is incorrect both historically and logically – For more information on the fallacy that property rights are based on scarcity see http://hallingblog.com/2009/06/22/scarcity-–-does-it-prove-intellectual-property-is-unjustified/

I have read your book and I agree with Chris's review of your book. Having come from a university setting (full disclosure: I am in private practice representing clients in the biotech sector although I own no shares directly in any biotech company), I must tell you that faculty fears about lawsuits are imaginary. If anything, I have encountered faculty members that are fiesty and eager to push the envelop.
I would have loved to read about your position with the facts and law interpreted in their current state. However, being that your arguments are flawed by these factual and legal statements, I find it difficult to understand the logic to its conclusion (fruits of the poisonous tree). Please note that it is not my position that your argument is poisonous. I am open to consider an argument so long as you are not distorting the law and the facts.
- August 25, 2009 at 4:47 PM
- drkoepsell said...
Since you read the book, you'll note that the central argument is not an economic one, nor a practical one, nor a legal one, but rather an ethical one. The summary of the logic of the argument is up at my blog
I believe it addresses your question, and hope it provokes some commentary and discussion there (it's easier than keeping track of all the various blog discussions).
As for my responses to Chris, linked to on my comment above, they explain why I disagree that I am either distorting the law or facts. Please feel free to discuss your disagreements with my position on that as well at the WOY blog.
Thanks for reading and keeping an open mind.
all my best,

Installing GenI
- I can't cabal install wx:
- Solution: 2009-02-14: Try
cabal install wx --configure-opt="--user --enable-split-objs --hcprof
- Solution: 2009-02-14: Try
- Every time I try to cabal install GenI, it keeps trying to build wxcore (and fails!)
- This is a tricky one. For some reason cabal-install keeps trying to re-install wx
- Workaround: 2009-02-14 : install GenI by hand (runhaskell Setup configure --user; runhaskell Setup build; runhaskell Setup install)
- I get this error when I try to do runhaskell Setup configure:
GHCi runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol waitForProcess whilst processing object file /home/me/.cabal/lib/process-188.8.131.52/ghc-6.10.1/HSprocess-126.96.36.199.o This could be caused by: * Loading two different object files which export the same symbol * Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line * An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be loaded twice. GHCi cannot safely continue in this situation. Exiting now. Sorry.
- Workaround: 2009-02-14: I don't know the proper solution to this yet, but I found that it helps to ghc --make Setup and then call ./Setup instead of runhaskell Setup
Running GenI
- I get this error when I run GenI (wxHaskell 0.11 ; wxWidgets 2.8), and GenI refuses to load
(process:11334): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.18.2/gobject/gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:11334): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:11334): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_cursor_new_for_display: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed
- Solution: 2009-02-14: upgrade to a later wxHaskell (the darcs version) - see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/WxHaskell/Troubleshooting
- I get this error when I try to run GenI:
geni: error while loading shared libraries: libwxc-gtk2.8.8-0.11.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- Solution: 2009-02-14: add the wxhaskell lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example in bash:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:}${HOME}/.cabal/lib/wxhaskell-0.11.1/lib
- Solution: 2009-02-14: add the wxhaskell lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example in bash:
- GenI segfaults
- Argh! Sounds like a potential wxHaskell bug. Try --no-gui
- 2009-02-14: I have filed http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2599836&group_id=73133&atid=536845
- I get this error why I try to run GenI:
geni: relocation error: geni: symbol _ZTV13wxGraphicsPen, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 with link time reference
- Workaround : 2009-10-12 try building wxWidgets from source (be sure to enable a Unicode build and also ensure that the wx-config used is the one that corresponds to this. I really don't know what's the cause of this! On some Ubuntu 9.04 machines, the stock wxWidgets works just fine. But for some reason, the same is not the case :-(
How to do cool things
1. How do I use the paraphrase selection mechanism documented in A Symbolic Approach to Near-Deterministic Surface Realisation using Tree Adjoining Grammar?
- At the time of this writing (2009-01-22), there is no documentation on this. Sorry. See ParaphraseSelection? and ask Eric Kow for more details.
1. What's wrong with lexical items that have an empty semantics?
- Infinite loops, especially but not necessarily if the item is an auxiliary tree
- Difficulty constructing a polarity automaton - except maybe for pronouns if you enable the zero literal semantic items

3) News Flashes
Nuchal Cord Entanglement
A study that looked at the outcomes of pregnancies complicated by a multiple nuchal cord entanglement included 8,565 deliveries. A single loop of cord around the fetal neck at delivery was found in 2,191 deliveries, and more than one loop was found in 326 deliveries. Pregnancies with a multiple cord entanglement were more likely to have an abnormal cardiotocograph consisting of persistent variable decelerations in advanced labor. These infants were also more likely to have meconium, a low Apgar score at one minute, and a low umbilical artery pH of <7.10. There was no difference in the rate of cesarean sections, placental abruption and Apgar scores at five minutes between the two groups, and no stillbirths occurred in the cord entanglement group. The study concluded that with multiple nuchal cord entanglement there was no risk of adverse neonatal outcome, and that a multiple cord entanglement is not a contributing factor in intrapartum stillbirth, placental abruption or cesarean delivery. (MIDIRS, December 1996)
Breastmilk Reduces Infection Rate in NICU
Breastmilk provided to very low birth weight, preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may decrease the chances of these infants acquiring infections in the NICU by 53 to 57 percent. Researchers from Georgetown University Miedical Center and Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health studied the medical records of 212 very low birth weight, preterm infants who were hospitalized between January 1992 and September 1993. They compared the incidence of infections in infants who received human milk with those who received formula exclusively. The researchers discovered that 29.3 percent of the preterm infants who were fed human milk acquired infections vs. 47.2 percent of the formula-fed infants. in addition, sepsis and/or meningitis occurred in 19.5 percent of the infants fed human milk and 32.6 percent of the formula-fed infants. All infections occurred after the very low birth weight infants started receiving feedings. (Women's Health Weekly, September 14, 1998)

4) Transport: Planning Ahead
During a home visit, I make sure the parents have posted emergency phone numbers by every phone in the house. The list should include: their hospital, the nearest hospital, the midwife's and assistant's numbers, the ambulance, a babysitter, their pastor, and relatives they would want notified in an emergency. I ask them to decide at this time if they would call an ambulance or drive to the hospital themselves.
I make sure I am familiar with all hospitals in the area. I have a general idea what their birthing policies are. Some hospitals still will not let support people in the labor room unless they are related. Depending upon the legal status of midwifery, some midwives cannot or are not willing to go along on a transport and parents should know this ahead of time.
Role playing is an important tool in conducting a smooth transport. I get together with my assistants and act out both simple and bizarre situations. We switch places so everyone gets to try out the primary role. This is good practice in case an assistant gets to the birth first and has to handle an emergency by herself. Things we think of: How to get mom down a flight of narrow circular stairs if she can't walk or if she is in a knee-chest position; how to transport an apneic infant to a hospital one half hour away in January; how to keep an infant warm; how to do CPR along the way, and so forth.
When a transport does occur, it is important to stay calm. I know the parents will look to me for strength. My assistants also look to me for guidance at this time. If anyone gets hysterical the transport will be a catastrophe. I use Rescue Remedy if I have time to swallow a dropperful. If not, I do some deep breathing which helps me calm myself and focus on the task at hand.
I write a summary of the labor to present to the hospital staff. Sometimes I bring the placenta for examination. If I opt for transporting before the birth, I bring along the Doppler and oxygen. Once we are in the hospital, I help the parents wade through "technojargon." I let them know they are still involved in the decision-making process. I'm a strong advocate. I try to be cordial and polite, not hostile, presenting midwifery as the gracious art it is.
I always go over the hospital bill with the family. Many of them have no insurance and I have found countless errors in billing. After my last transport, I found about five hundred dollars worth of errors that the hospital had to deduct.
I make myself available during the postpartum period. Families who go through a transport must heal from the experience. Often I have to address feelings of failure, disappointment and anger toward me. Keeping the lines of communication open gives all of us a chance to resolve the experience and come to peace with it.
- Marissa Neal, Midwifery Today Issue No. 24
5) Transporting in the Hospital?
Don't think the concept of transporting applies just to home or birth center births. A midwife friend in Paris described a birth during which she simply needed a consult from the obstetrician. Instead, the obstetrician came into the birth room and took over quickly. The woman ended up with a cesarean! The midwife in fact believed the woman would have had a normal vaginal birth.
So be sure to consider who it is you bring into any birth. In second stage you may simply want a standby resuscitation team for some minor reason, then end up with a perfectly healthy baby being whisked away from its mother just because the team is there and needs something to do. They don't understand the value of sitting on their hands. Can you think of situations in which you regretted having called for help in the hospital?
- Jan Tritten
6) Who Am I to Judge? A Transport Story
It was not for lack of effort, however. This mom walked up hills and down hills. She took herbs and she took homeopathics. We massaged her and rested her. She did nipple stimulation, she cried, processed, gave in and gave over, but still she never opened up.
Was it physical? Emotional? We midwives ask ourselves these kinds of questions over and over. We go back over the labor with our fine-toothed combs. Sometimes we may never find the answer, for the birth process is magic, often dictated by forces greater than what we can ever perceive.
In this case it took an epidural and a lot of Pitocin to get this woman's uterus to respond consistently to contractions greater than eight minutes apart. When she finally opened after three days of trying, she pushed for three hours and finally birthed her nine pound child with grace. It was an amazing process to watch.
Although this was a homebirth transport, this family loved their birth experience! In case this was delusion on my part, I checked in with them repeatedly, only to find them ecstatic about the entire event. I wondered why. Wouldn't they be feeling the sting of failure for not having accomplished a homebirth? Wouldn't the interventions be considered barbaric and full of trauma? Didn't they have a horrid experience in the hospital?
Of course not! They knew what the possibilities were long before the woman went into labor. We talked about the what-ifs at prenatals. We set standards together and when the time came to change over from home to hospital, we cried and mourned together. We went to the hospital before there was time for a crisis to develop, which established good feelings and rapport with the doctor, who in turn bent over backward to help this woman have a good birth, one with the least interventions possible. This was based on good cooperation, true heartful intent, and a determination to keep our sense of humor and have fun. The hospital staff had a great time with us, and we had a great time with them.
Midwives are like the middle child. We have the ability to see both sides, bridge gaps, create pathways, take responsibility, and walk boldly forward on behalf of the families we attend. It's not always about where you are, but rather the love you provide in order to nurture a birth to a satisfying finale.
Without a doubt, each time I transport to the hospital, it's hard. After all, it's not what we wanted. But the family has been prepared and educated for the possibility. When I see a family who has worked hard and been so happy in spite of how things turned out, then who am I to judge? I am only here to bear witness and preserve life on an individual basis. If transport serves the greater good, then I must honor that path and recognize it as success, not failure.
- Jill Cohen
7) The Art of Midwifery
Before you transport, know your patient's bill of rights. Policy and authority are two different things. Hospitals are institutions run on policy that sometimes gets perverted by authority. The patient's bill of rights helps protect the parents from the needless ego of authority as it is played out by individual hospital staff.
Stay with the mom at all times. All may seem well until you step out; when you return, you may find that intervention has elbowed its way through the door.
Be nice. You have transported because you need help. Honor that and collaborate in the woman's care as much as possible. You might be surprised at what a good response you can get when you stick to a noncombative attitude.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday that he is "disappointed" with his former quarterback, Everett Golson, but Kelly did not banish Golson from the program or red-letter him.
"It's like being a dad," Kelly said. "You're disappointed, but know these things happen. I have a big sense of pride that he handled it in the right way. Everett took full accountability and responsibility and he's going to do everything in his power to get himself back here at Notre Dame."
SN's PRESEASON TOP 25: See where the Irish rank
Golson, the Irish's starting quarterback last season, is suspended from the university for the fall semester for what is being described as an academic code violation.
Kelly described it as a "defining moment" in Golson's life, something he'll have to endure and grow from. If Golson reaches every demand of the university, he'll be welcomed back on the team, Kelly said, adding that people deserve a "second chance."
INTEREST FROM SEC: One school reportedly inquired about Golson
Kelly did not indicate who next year's starter would be, though many presume that it will be former starter Tommy Rees. Rees will compete with Andrew Hendrix and freshman Malik Zaire. Zaire, an early enrollee, has picked up on things quickly. And Rees is a veteran who knows his way around.
No matter who trots out as the starter, it's obvious that Kelly, who invested a great deal of time into Golson's development, is starting all over with his replacement.
"It's going to be a challenge but one that we think we can overcome," he said. "They overcame a lot last year. They'll continue to do it this year regardless of who's at the quarterback position."
HAYES: Rees can excel under Kelly's guidance
Kelly also addressed defensive line recruit Eddie Vanderdoes, who signed with the Irish in February but reportedly no longer wants to play at Notre Dame.
"I don't get too much involved in who's not here," Kelly said. "We'll see who shows up. There's always a surprise or two. We hope they're all here when they are asked to report in June."
Finally, Kelly said he has not considered inviting transfer Gunner Kiel, now at Cincinnati, to come back. Kiel is no longer interested in the Irish, either."That's not something that I've ever done at all," Kelly said of reaching out to a player who leaves. "I'm going to coach the guys who want to be here at Notre Dame. Gunner had his reasons for not wanting to be here."
LINEMAKERS: Golson's departure raises ND's title odds

Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as iloperidone have an increased risk of death during treatment. Older adults with dementia may also have a greater chance of having a stroke or mini-stroke during treatment.
Iloperidone is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of behavior problems in older adults with dementia. Talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication if you, a family member, or someone you care for has dementia and is taking iloperidone. For more information visit the FDA website: Web Site.
Iloperidone is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions). Iloperidone is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
Iloperidone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken with or without food twice a day. Take iloperidone at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take iloperidone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of iloperidone and gradually increase your dose, not more often than once every day for the first 7 days. Your doctor will also need to start you on a low dose of iloperidone and gradually increase your dose if you do not take iloperidone for 3 days or longer at any time during your treatment.
Iloperidone may help control your symptoms but will not cure your condition. It may take up to 2 weeks or longer before iloperidone begins to control your symptoms. Continue to take iloperidone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking iloperidone without talking to your doctor.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking iloperidone,
Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Iloperidone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
Iloperidone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to iloperidone.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Peggy met her husband, Zachary, in Lexington, Kentucky. She would follow her husband around the continent as he moved his way up the ranks of the U.S. Army. Zachary received the Whig Party nomination and ran for President in 1848. Peggy was not happy that her husband may be the next President of the United States. As it turned out, she was right. Zachary died after two years as President. Peggy was too devastated to attend the funeral.

Forget a nightcap – the answer for insomnia may soon be available in a glass of milk.
A Chinese-controlled milk powder manufacturer may soon be giving those suffering from sleeping disorders a natural sleep aid. According to TVNZ, the New Zealand-based Synlait Milk collects milk from cows during the night for melatonin, a sleep-promoting hormone. By expressing melatonin in the milk, the product, Synlait Night Milk, can aid those suffering from sleep disorders.
Synlait Milk produces the milk in a partnership with sister company Synlait Farms. Additional support is provided from the New Zealand government.
Simon Causer, Synlait Milk research manager, points that melatonin is a key ingredient in the Night Milk.
"Melatonin plays a key role in helping humans regulate day-night cycles, and by selectively collecting milk produced by cows during the night we can create a 100% natural sleep aid," Causer told TVNZ.
Radio New Zealand reports that many of Synlait's suppliers have shown interest in the new product.
Causer explained in an interview that dairy farmers already work difficult hours. Instead of getting up at 4 a.m. to milk their herds, suppliers would be asked to begin milking a few hours earlier.
Suppliers would be paid a premium for their early-morning milking.
The company plans to hold trials to demonstrate the Night Milk's effectiveness.
"Having determined the feasibility of production, and that the change of routine has little effect on the behavior of the cows, the next step in the process will involve carrying out a clinical trial to demonstrate efficacy of the product when taken by a study group comprising patients with insomnia," Causer said.
In the study, participants would be asked to drink a glass of Night Milk 30 minutes before going to bed. Their sleep quality would then be monitored against results for people who consumed conventional milk.
Key markets for Night Milk include Asia and Europe, where the product would target working professionals, the elderly and international travelers.
This isn't the first time night-time milking has been linked to melatonin in milk. In 2010, a German company patented "nocturnal milk," which it claimed contained 25 times more melatonin than traditional milk. Like Synlait, the company started milking its cows between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. Critics at the time voiced concern that the milk powder would need to be consumed in large quantities to have any effect on those with sleep disorders.

Since then this no-cook sauce has been one of my favorite ways to use tomatoes when they're at their peak of flavor, especially at this time of year when you've had lots of tomato salads and you'd like something a bit more substantial to do with those fresh tomatoes.
(Fresh Garden Tomato No-Cook Pasta Sauce with Garlic, Basil, and Thyme was updated with new photos and step-by-step instructions, September 2013.)
Garden Tomato No-Cook Pasta Sauce with Garlic, Basil, and Thyme
(Makes about 4 generous servings, recipe slightly adapted by Kalyn from Fine Cooking Magazine.)
3-4 large vine-ripened fresh tomatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (about 3-4 cups tomatoes)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (use your best olive oil for this)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
1 T fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic (or more if you love garlic)
1/2 tsp. sea salt (or more to taste)
pinch Aleppo Pepper or other hot pepper flakes
about 8 oz. pasta of your choice (I used Dreamfields Penne)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving
When ready to eat, cook pasta in boiling salted water for 8-9 minutes, until barely al dente. Drain pasta well, then put back into cooking pot, pour in sauce mixture and gently combine. Put pasta on individual serving plates and serve with lots of fresh-grated parmesan cheese. (Raw tomatoes should never be refrigerated, so I recommend making only as much as you will eat at one meal.)

LAKEPORT -- A judge Monday delayed the sentencing hearing for a Clearlake Oaks man who accepted a plea bargain in connection with a September stabbing in his hometown.
Daryl Eugene Ney pleaded no contest in late January to mayhem and admitted to a special allegation of being armed with a knife during the incident.
Authorities say Ney, 51, stabbed Michael Parenteau at a Sept. 20 party in Clearlake Oaks after accusing Parenteau of sleeping with his ex-girlfriend. The victim reportedly had his gallbladder removed as a result of the attack.
Ney faced a handful of charges and allegations, including attempted murder, before taking the prosecution's offer Jan. 29. He could see a maximum of nine years in prison.
Wearing black and white jail stripes, Ney appeared before Judge Andrew S. Blum for sentencing Monday afternoon, but attorney Doug Rhoades, who represents Ney, asked that the hearing be delayed to allow him more time to go over the Probation Department report with his client.
The judge rescheduled Ney's sentencing for March 18 at the Lake County Courthouse.

NEW YORK - Strong earnings results from big U.S. companies offered investors a whiff of hope Friday. Stocks rose after a two-day slump, but remained on track for their worst week this year.
Hewlett-Packard drove the Dow Jones industrial average higher a day posting fiscal first-quarter earnings that beat the forecasts of analysts and the company itself. The results came as relief after months of bad news for the computer maker. Its stock rose $1.36, or 8 percent, to $18.46.
American International Group Inc. helped boost the Standard & Poor's 500 index after saying its fourth-quarter operating results exceeded forecasts. The company's net loss was $4 billion, mainly because of claims related to Superstorm Sandy, in the first full quarter after it finished repaying its $182 billion government bailout. Its stock rose $1.39, or 4 percent, to $38.67.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 42 points at 13,922 in the first 45 minutes of trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose six to 1,508. The Nasdaq composite index rose 14 to 3,145.
All three indexes remain down for the week. The S&P 500 is on track for its first weekly loss of the year.
Stocks plunged Wednesday afternoon after minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting spooked investors. The minutes revealed disagreement at the Fed about how long to keep buying bonds in an effort to boost the economy. The slide continued Thursday.
Many analysts believe that the Fed's bond-buying and resulting low interest rates have driven this year's stock rally, which has lifted indexes to their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis.
Among the other corporate news moving markets:
- Abercrombie & Fitch sank after a key sales metric declined in the all-important holiday quarter. Its stock fell $2.27, or 5 percent, to $46.78.
- WebMD Health Corp. soared after the health website operator reported better-than-expected revenue and an optimistic outlook for 2013. The stock rose $3.85, or 24 percent, to $20.15.

Fifth-grader wins Pequot Lakes district spelling bee
Connor Olson, a fifth-grader, beat 15 other middle level contestants in the Pequot Lakes School District spelling bee Friday, Feb. 7, in the Pequot Lakes High School auditorium.
Olson won by correctly spelling the word "astrolabe," which is an instrument formerly used to make astronomical measurements. He also correctly spelled "smithereens," "arraignment" and more.
The annual competition among fifth- through eighth-graders was broken up into two sections: the grade level bee, in which contestants competed against other spellers in their grade; and the district bee, in which all contestants competed against one another.
Sixteen students competed, representing the four best spellers from each grade level.
Olson not only won the district bee, but also his grade-level bee. He said after the competition that he had studied the Scripps Spelling Bee word lists all week long, remarking on how he had studied as many words as he could in school, too.
Madeline Sherman, sixth-grader, was district runner-up. She correctly spelled "encryption," "unctuous" and more.
Other difficult words that challenged spellers included "sapphire," "aficionado," "pariah," "isochronous" and many others.
For the grade-level competition, the sixth-grade winner was Shayna Schmidt, seventh-grade winner was Brandon Wallin and eighth-grade winner was Allie Miller.
Grade-level winners each received a $25 gift certificate to Turtle Town Books & Gifts in Nisswa. The district runner-up received $50 to Turtle Town Books and the district winner was awarded $75 to Turtle Town Books.
Olson advances to the regional spelling bee, The Lakes Bee, at 1 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at Tornstrom Auditorium in Brainerd. The regional winner will advance to the 2014 Scripps National Spelling Bee in May in Washington, D.C.

Story Ideas in Fairfax County Government
The Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs provides a summary of news briefs designed to inform the media about great story ideas in Fairfax County government. The following information gives the background on newsworthy stories as well as contact information. For additional questions on the Future Features service, contact the Office of Public Affairs at 703-324-3187, TTY 703-324-2935.
Environmentally Sound Transportation
The Fairfax County Department of Vehicle Services has purchased 27 Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (gas/electric hybrid autos) for use in county business. The fleet is expected to emit 6,000 pounds less pollution over their lifetime than similarly sized gas-powered cars. In doing so, the county expands its air quality efforts into a new technology area while being environmentally friendly and reducing emissions. Each vehicle recharges its own batteries through regenerative braking or with the on-board generator so there is nothing to plug in. The cars use a combination of an electric powered motor and gasoline engine that uses regular gasoline. Mileage is 45 mpg on the highway and 52 mpg in town – a reversal in what is the norm since the gasoline engine shuts off when the car comes to a stop and can be powered by the electric motor when going up to 15 mph. Brian Waymire of DVS states that, "These vehicles operate like other cars and performance is comparable to other small, 4-cylinder automobiles." In addition, there is the added advantage of no HOV restrictions with only one driver. DVS expects to purchase more hybrid vehicles as current fleet vehicles reach retirement. For more information, call Brian Waymire, Department of Vehicle Services, 703-324-3548, TTY 711.

JR wrote:Comet turning at under 250' and not at 300' is something i've come across too. It seems to be all in the spin thus snap thus late acceleration for me. We have enough power to exceed the cruising speed of the Comet to make it turn if we don't give it good enough spin. Which is all too easy with an early acceleration and incomplete late acceleration which leads to a partially hampered disc pivot all too easily. But the main thing probably is too loose a grip leading to slips or micro slips that have the disc moving in the correct direction but with too early thumb separation from the disc before the disc pivot has completed fully. Reducing spin rate so that the speed overpowers the gyroscopic force and the disc flips anny. The solution is to start slower with the arm pull and create the needed power after the right pec position with a brisk to hard late acceleration and pinching well. It may also be helpful to move the thumb closer to the center of the disc to delay the thumb slipping away from the disc a little even though it will not pivot the disc optimally after the thumb has started slipping. It will still help a little. Loosey goosey with the Comet is is a punishing disc.
Wrist rolls are all too common and the cure is to tighten up the muscles around the wrist some at around the starting point of the elbow chop. How tight and when depends on your muscle power and acceleration ability. So only you can tell which version gives the best distance and only by experimenting.
JR wrote:The disc remained above the elbow all the time so it is not a problem.
JR wrote:What are you trying to achieve with the hyzer and the anhyzer angles in putting lateral movement? It happens on slower nose up higher apex throws. Lasers push straight despite the angle just as harder putter drives do for the first portion of the flight that can last the majority of the distance covered with the throw.
Some putt with the same side leg than the throwing arm forward i do it the other way round. No matter which way you use you can improve the power generation by separating the legs more back to front in relation to the release to basket line.

Groene at the Legislature: Teacher absences, substitutes
Mail: Southern statues symbolize suppression
More opinion
Senate: Vote no on Graham-Cassidy health care plan
Fall: Good time to spray musk thistle in rosette stage
More Ag News
Senators supporting a bill to repeal the Nebraska death penalty failed to muster enough votes Tuesday to overcome a filibuster.
The result means the bill to repeal the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is essentially dead.
Chambers vowed to come back next session with another repeal bill, as he has done each of the 37 years he has been in the Legislature.
Whatever happens today, it will not be the end of this issue, he said.
Sen. Brad Ashford of Omaha, in a last-minute bid to reach 33 votes, introduced an amendment to the bill that would have prevented the repeal from being retroactively applied.
Several senators had expressed concern in previous debate that the bill would repeal the sentences of the 11 inmates currently on death row in the state.
I implore this body to keep this bill alive, Ashford said.
Sen. Steve Lathrop of Omaha said the filibuster prevented "this important issue" from being enacted.
Theres enough votes on this floor to repeal the death penalty, he said -- a claim that opponents of the repeal contested.
Sen Scott Lautenbaugh of Omaha said even though 26 senators voted against postponing the bill until the end of the session, essentially killing it, two of those votes came from senators who do not support the underlying bill.
Biased sentence
The bills supporters maintained that the death penalty is not applied uniformly, and open to racial and socioeconomic bias.
When does this happen and when doesnt it happen? Lathrop asked, referring to a death sentence.
Chambers read from a list of homicide cases in Nebraska in which he says prosecutors did not seek the death penalty despite their ability to do so.
Practically all these cases Im reading to you were white people, he said.
Senators opposed to repeal insisted that some crimes are too heinous not to impose death as a punishment, and that any problems in the system could be addressed through legislation.
Incontrovertible evidence
Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial said he would introduce a bill next session that would only allow a death sentence in cases where there is incontrovertible DNA or video evidence.
He said this would eliminate any social biases in the system.
Lautenbaugh said it doesnt make sense to compare homicide cases where the death penalty was sought with those where it was not because those decisions depend on the available evidence and witnesses.
Every case is different, he said.
He said the advancement of technology and forensic science make it less likely that an innocent person could be sentenced to death.
We have less reason to doubt the fairness of the death penalty today, Lautenbaugh said.

Leon Johnson, 18, charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of teenager Kevin Johnson
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - An 18-year-old man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of another teenager inside a home in the Alexandria section of Fairfax County.
Police say Leon Johnson was charged Thursday. The shooting occurred on Monday evening at a home a block away from where Johnson lives.
Sixteen-year-old Kevin Johnson was killed in the shooting. Police say Kevin Johnson is not related to Leon Johnson. A 14-year-old boy was also shot and wounded.
Police have declined to release additional details about the circumstances of the shooting. The Washington Post has reported that according to a search warrant, Johnson ran out of the house saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," after the teens were shot.

How Many Campers?Math brain teasers require computations to solve.
Camp Pineveiw's cook, Margaret Johnson, was just about to begin preparing the picnic lunch for all the campers. She already knew she needed to fill 55 bowls of the same size and capacity with the same amount of food. When she was done, she decided to read the guidelines for the picnic, just out of curiosity. The guidelines said:
1. Every camper gets their own bowl of soup.
2. Every two campers will get one bowl of spaghetti to share.
3. Every three campers will get one bowl of salad to share.
4. All campers are required to have their own helping of salad, spaghetti, and soup.
After some rapid calculations, Margaret was able to figure out how many campers were going to the picnic. Can you?
HintIf there were only six campers, there would be six bowls of soup, three bowls of spaghetti, and two bowls of salad.
Answer30 campers.

The worst part of my game - the second shot.
My max golf D is 360-370', and I'm pretty comfortable putting inside 20'.
Shots between 70' and 150' are most difficult to me. I feel like I lose
all my control when I'm throwing under 60% of my power, and that leaves
me too much over 20' putts -> easy par becomes bogey.
A good approach can fix a bad drive, and a bad putt. A very good drive can fix a
bad approach, and a bad putt, but those drives aren't that easy to create, so I
thought you guys would give me some hot tips / ways to practice those low
powered shots.
I've read Blakes articles about approaching, but didn't find any magical fix from
them. I guess I just need to practice practice practice.
