" Genre: Folk / Artist: Kal / Audio CD released 2006-03-06 at Asphalt Tango "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
This is the self-named album Kal by Kal! Kal are a Serbian band from the small village of Valjevo but are now based in Belgrade, they fuse traditional roma music with a very slight amount of pop/crooning, they are one of very few Serbian artists that still play Balkan music in the traditional sense as Serbian music is these days liittered with keyboards in general.
Kal (Romani for black) were once described by a BBC journalist in Leicester as "the coolest band in the world", whilst nothing from someone from Leicester should be taken to seriously (they still think Gary Lineker is cool), he's almost spot on in this case. Kal dress in black suits and hats which instantaneously gives them a mafia look, this image is quickly broken though as they're jolly outlook on life woos the crowd where ever they are quite quickly.
The band themselves do a lot of work in Serbia to integrate the roma people in to Serbia in general through theatre productions spanning from Budapest to Belgrade and Bucharest, each year they also run a school (Amala School in Valjevo) where people can come from across the world to learn more about the culture and language - www.amala.com
This album is as far as I know, their only one to date and was recorded in Dragan Ristic (vocals and guitar) homemade studio in Belgrade. Mike Nielsen, who has worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Underground, Jamiroquai and a whole host of other musicians over the years was then asked to find beats, mix, arrange and produce the album and the self-titled album was then released by Berlin based record company Asphalt Tango Records.
This album is one of the best recent examples of combining roots and modern music to acquire a very pleasant sound.
The track Gurbetski Tango is an undoubted hit, a soothing and musical masterpiece, Duj Duj has a very turkish oriental sound, Dvojka starts off with a bit of mellow Drum and Bass before moving on to a very classical sound, whilst more upbeat tracks like Papusha, Komedija and Mozzarella add classy clasical vitality to the album.
Undoubtedly one of if not the best Serbian roma band currently but not as good as fellow musicians who focus more on the roots side of things like Bengas, Bregovic, Redzepova, Puceanu or Taraf Haidouks in my eyes.
The majority of the songs can be found either on www.myspace.com/romakal or through youtube, this may help you decide whether or not you wish to purchase the album!

MTV music staffer Gabriel Ben-Meir shot dead in Mid-Wilshire neighborhood [UPDATED]
The freakish murder of Gabe Ben-Meir, a 30-year-old MTV music staffer is believed to be linked to a series of robberies in the Mid-Wilshire area and has LAPD officers on the lookout for a possible suspect: a 35-year-old black man with wire-rimmed glasses, gold jewelry and a shotgun.
Ben-Meir was found dead in a pool of his own blood on a Mid-Wilshire sidewalk near his apartment early Sunday morning.
This morning's lead comes from the Weho Daily who picked up on a police feed and posted the news late last night. The L.A. Times went on to report the story, but LA Weekly's Simone Wilson aggregated it best with a comprehensive post detailing the mysterious case.
Ben-Meir, a rising creative talent who worked on the music for MTV's "Parental Control" and "Dudesons in America" as well as "Punk'd" was reportedly shot in the back of the head, 'execution style' as several headlines described it, around 1am Sunday morning. Although strangely, his body was not discovered until around 6:30am Sunday morning when a neighbor was out walking his dog. Residents who live near the murder scene—at Packard Street between Stanley and Spaulding Avenues—reported to police that they heard gunshots in the middle of the night, but no one called it in. At this time, there are no reported leads on suspects.
According to the LA Times, Ben-Meir was a resident of the neighborhood and had parked his car and was walking home when he was fatally shot.
Several reports described him as a rising force in the music industry, which seems to run in the family. According to the Hollywood Reporter:
Ben-Meir worked for MTV as a music and production coordinator on such shows as The Hard Times of RJ Berger, Parental Control and Punk'd. He started in the industry as an intern at Geffen Records. His sister, Alexis Ben-Meir, is a well-known figure in the music business who has worked at MCA Records, Suretone Records and is currently at Red Light Management. Their father, Nick Ben-Meir, is a longtime business manager who has represented musicians.
The following KTLA news report talks to some of Ben-Meir's neighbors who describe their community as close-knit. This sounds a bit odd considering his body lay in a pool of blood for an estimated four or five hours before it was found, in addition to the fact that neighbors reported hearing gunshots without calling the police.
If anyone knows Ben-Meir or any details surrounding his death, please {encode="email@example.com" title="email Hollywood Jew"}.

Students and faculty are planning rallies Thursday to protest budget cuts at community colleges.
The largest of the events begins with a 3 p.m. rally in front of Balboa Park's Centro Cultural de la Raza off Park Boulevard. Students and faculty from at least five community colleges, including City, Mesa, Miramar, Grossmont and Cuyamaca, will then march to the governor's San Diego office downtown.
Elsewhere, a series of educational lectures will take place at Grossmont College that morning followed by a campus rally at 12:30 p.m. English Professor Lauren Halsted said she plans to speak at the "teach-out" at Cuyamaca College.
"It's a teach-out designed to educate community members, students, faculty and staff about the impact of budget cuts on our campus and in the larger community," she said.

Accident reportAccident Report
Written by Ted Alexander
August 3 2010
On July 29 a guided party from the US based company Mountain Madness, departed from Huaraz Peru and headed to 'Cebolla Pampa' which is the trail head of the Yanapaqcha. Yanapaqcha, 5460m high, is one of the commonly guided mountains in the Cordillera Blanca. While it does have some steep technical sections it is well within the scope of most clients who do not have prior technical climbing experience.
The climbing team consisted of Mountain Madness guide Tyler Anderson age 37, and clients Jack, Sue, Sara, and Nate.
They used 3 porters who assisted carrying the load up to their camp on the moraine (then descend) and a local cook who remained at the moraine camp along with Charmaine, the girlfriend of Tyler.
The group spent a day going over skills – during that day the clients received instruction on self arrest, maintaining the proper tension on the rope during glacier travel, practiced proper foot work techniques. Tyler discussed with them as well what to do in the event that he should fall into a crevasse. They were instructed to remain where they were and not approach the crevasse allowing him time to ascend up and out.
On Saturday July 31st, the group departed from the moraine camp at 4:30am. There were no other parties climbing that day. The team gained the glacier on a steep icy area of 'dry glacier' where Tyler placed several ice screws in 'running protection'. They then proceeded along the glacier and joined the 'main route' which starts from an alternative moraine camp 3 km to the South.
They followed this route through a series of crevasse fields along the convex roll over of the glacier and then ascended a broad ridge to the base of the West face where the technical climbing begins.
After a magnificent alpine sunrise the group got together in a protected safe area to drink some water, snacks and a few photos. After that they followed the track up a 50 degree slope traversed around a horizontal crevasse. Then Tyler led them off the track to the base of a 65 degree slope. (The main tracks continued horizontal around the slope to the left). At the base of the slope the team grouped together and was instructed to wait until further notice from Tyler.
At 7:00am Tyler placed a picket and clipped the rope through the picket and began climbing up the slope. The client's view of exactly where Tyler went was blocked by a bulge in the glacier. Tyler led straight up the wall to where a large crevasse blocked any further advancement. He then slung a protruding 'penitente' and clipped the rope through to provide a directional for the clients before traversing along the lip of the crevasse.
After 10 minutes all the clients heard Tyler yell: "Climb On' (The command that indicates that the lead climber has installed sufficient security for his/her followers to begin climbing up after him). Sue clipped passed the picket and begins climbing up the slope, Tyler pulled the rope tight as she climbs. After Sue climbed 15 feet, the rope got tight between her and Jack and he clips through the picket and follows as well. A moment later Sue heard Tyler yell down "Hold On" or "why are you climbing" (There is some disagreement amongst the clients as to exactly what Tyler yelled. But they all agreed that it was not a 'normal command' that they had been using previously) Sue and Jack stopped climbing. They waited between 15 seconds and 1 minute (there is discrepancy between the clients as to how long they waited) when Jack heard a "whooshing sound" of "something like an avalanche without the roar" At that moment the rope jerks extremely taught. The tight rope pinned Sue's head momentarily between it and the glacier. Sue was able to wiggle out from underneath. Jack said "I think Tyler fell into a crevasse" As per Tyler's earlier instructions, the clients waited for 15 minutes for Tyler to extract himself from the crevasse. During the wait, the clients yelled for Tyler but heard no response. Somewhere during the wait, the rope became slack. Sue remembers giving 3 tugs on the rope and feeling 3 'weak but definite' tugs in response to her tugs. She estimates that there was about 50cm of slack at that point in the rope.
After 15 minutes the clients decided to proceed upwards to investigate what happened. Sue was the first to reach the lip of the crevasse directly above her where Tyler had placed the 'Bollard" (slung penitente) – She looked down and saw Tyler 20 m below her at the bottom of the crevasse in a sitting position with his leg badly bent underneath him, 'patches of blood' were evident on the snow around him and his helmet off to one side. The clients described Tyler's eyes as "very swollen and white" The clients reported seeing there was a ice screw placed 2 meters behind him and the rope was 'going through it"
"Tyler was mumbling and moaning, his eyes were very swollen and white, his left hand had the ice axe still and it was spastically whacking the ice from time to time. He would mumble 'nice and easy' slowly' and other non-coherent things"
The clients yelled down to but they could get no coherent response from him. The clients traversed along Tyler's tracks to where the rope had cut into the lip where Tyler had fallen. Sara placed the one picket they had and they all clipped into it. After 30 minutes of deliberating what to do, the clients decided to descend to find help. They pulled up as much rope as they could from the crevasse, then cut the rope with a small knife that Jack had with him, tied the rope that was connected to Tyler around a snow penitente and began descending down the slope, retracing their tracks. They were still tied together by the remaining section of rope. The descent was very arduous. "Very carefully we descended down the steep slope, we would all assume the self arrest position while one person would climb down a section". Once they made it out of the technical terrain, they followed the tracks back down towards the Alternative Moraine camp (This is not the camp that the group was using). They decided not to return to their camp due to the steep ice that they negotiated on the approach. "We did not have any ice screws and felt we would not make it across that section without falling". The final part of the glacier was very broken with lots of open crevasses. Fearing that they might fall into one of the crevasses, the clients decided to exit the glacier at their earliest opportunity and scrambled up and over a rocky moraine ridge to where they knew the road to be. Despite great difficulty the group arrived at the road around 4:30pm just as a SUV was passing by. They stopped the vehicle and the driver immediately agreed to help them find help. They drove to Cebolla Pampa and at 5:30pm Sara gets out at Cebolla Pampa and runs to the nearby camping area where she talks with Peruvian Guide; Cesar Vargas. Cesar takes out a radio and communicates with both the National Park and the High Mountain Rescue Police and alerts them to the details of the accident. (There response to this radio conversation is unknown) Then Cesar gathers a group of porters and heads to the moraine camp where Charmaine is still waiting.
Meanwhile, Nate, Jack and Sue continued driving to the park entry to the National Park Entry Post. They arrived there around 6:00pm and immediately talked to the park officials. They all drove a short distance to a rocky bluff where there was cell phone service. The park official called the rescue police who were reported as saying "It is too late to do anything today. We will come up in the morning". The clients found this unacceptable and continued driving to the Llanganuco Lodge to seek more immediate help. Unsure as to its exact location, they drove around for an additional 40 minutes before finding the lodge. At 6:40pm upon arrival, they spoke with Charlie Good (owner) and Mike (manager.) Immediately Charlie called Chris Benway at the Café Andino and Ted Alexander at Skyline Adventures and alerts them that Tyler is in a crevasse on Yanapaqcha.
Chris Benway called Galaxia, a local agency, who gathered a group of 3 guides and 2 porters. Ted and Skyline guide, Jason Wheeler, joined up with Galaxia's team and at 8:20pm they departed Huaraz with a litter and extensive first aid supplies to treat hypothermia, trauma and spinal injury. They also brought a satellite phone. At 10:45pm they stopped at Cebolla Pampa to pick up Skyline Adventure's guide Alejo Lazzati and 2 porters who had been alerted via radio to descend form Pisco base camp to assist with the rescue.
At 11:10 the rescue team arrived at the "high trail head" for Yanapaqcha alternative moraine camp and began to hike towards the glacier.
Jason and Ted were the first to reach the glacier and saw that Charlie Good and 7 others who were already on the mountain searching for the crevasse containing Tyler. The 7 of them were either at Cebolla Pampa when Sara alerted them to the accident or were staying at the Llanganuco Lodge and left for the mountain immediately when the rest of the clients arrived there. Around 12:45am, Ted and Jason joined up with Charlie's team while Galaxia's 3 guides begin searching the lower crevasse field; the section of Tyler's route that connected their camp with the main route. Charlie had a small hand sketched map drawn by the clients of where the crevasse is. It was difficult to read. Around 2:00am Ted Alexander called the clients at the Llanganuco Lodge to get further information. With the new information, 4 rescuers climbed up to search likely crevasses. Around 3:00am Ted called the clients again for more information. With this information they were able to locate the crevasse.
At 4:20am they see the rope hanging from the lip of a crevasse and approach the crevasse from the uphill side. Jason built an anchor and Ted rappelled into the crevasse with first aid supplies and found Tyler's body leaning against an ice block on the bottom of the crevasse with several meters of loose rope on the ice beside him that he is tied to with a figure 8 knot. Tyler is cold and stiff with signs of massive head trauma. His eyes were closed. His black belay jacket is on but partially unzipped and he was wearing no gloves. His legs were both in front of him without signs of obvious deformity. His head was tilted back, facing upwards. His broken helmet was to his side unclipped and his belay devise is lying on the snow. The ice screw was inserted on a large block of ice. Tyler was attached to the ice screw with a clove hitch on a 2 meter tether.
Ted yelled up confirming that the victim has expired and prepared Tyler's body for the extraction. Jason lowered a Canadian drop loop and Ted attached a chest harness to Tyler and then fastened Tyler to the Drop loop. Ted gathered Tyler's belongings with the exception of his back pack which had fallen further down the crevasse and climbed out of the crevasse on 50 degree slope leading to safety.
Ted then called Jenn Hrinkevich who is the designated infield communications center point to report the death.
The rescuers pulled out the body and then through a series of fixed lines and rappels transported the body to the glaciers edge where it was loaded into the litter. At 9:30am they began the carry-out through the moraine and then along the trail to the road. At 11:00am, 400m before arriving at the road, the rescuers were met by a group of 7 "High Mountain Rescue Police" who arrived brandishing their cameras, it was noted that they brought no first-aid or rescue equipment. The rescuers made it clear to the police that at that point they would not accept their 'help' and continued carrying Tyler to the nearby road. As per Peruvian law, the Rescue Police were the only ones allowed to transport the body so it was loaded into their waiting vehicle and driven to the morgue in Yungay. As we were loading Tyler onto their vehicle, a large Andean Condor circled in – and for a moment soared directly over our heads as if in farewell – In true Tyler form, it seemed he wasted no time in finding the perfect vantage point to watch his mortal remains being carried from the mountains he loved so well.
What Happened?
What happened to cause the accident is largely speculation based on what the clients reported, and what we found during the recovery of Tyler's body.
We presumed that Tyler continued traversing the crevasse lip until he found a suitable crossing. He crossed what he thought was the crevasse bridge and set up his belay station what he thought was the safe ground on the other side (uphill)of the crevasse. He placed a screw and attached himself with a clove hitch then began belaying up his clients. After a few minutes, Tyler must have noticed some thing was wrong as he yelled down to Sue who then stopped climbing. Less then a minute after yelling, the bridge where Tyler was on gave way with Tyler on it. As the bridge falls, Tyler who is attached to the falling bridge by a screw and 2 meters of rope, is pulled into the crevasse but is temporarily suspended by his belay device made tight on the rope to his clients, the rope is still running through the intact "bollard". After a moment Tyler releases his hold on the belay and continues to the bottom of the crevasse. Had Tyler not been attached to the bridge with an ice screw and 2m of rope, the bridge could have fallen out from below him and the rope between Tyler and his climbing team below would have kept Tyler from falling deep into the crevasse.
We will never know exactly how long Tyler survived after his fall but based on autopsy reports of massive head trauma, and a broken neck and broken leg it can be presumed that Tyler expired a short time after the fall. The chance of him regaining consciousness or his mental faculties is very slim. When rescuers found him, rigor-mortis had already set in.
The only change in position between when the clients last saw Tyler and when rescuers found him was his leg had been straightened out and was in front of him verses underneath him as the clients remembered seeing before they left the scene.
Special thanks:
Special thanks go towards the group of clients; Nate, Jack, Sue and Sara for their heroic efforts under harrowing conditions to get the rescue underway. The decision to leave the scene of the accident was a heart wrenching process and in the end was the only course of action they could have taken. And their descent off the mountain proved to be anything but easy.
Special Thanks go to those who went out on the rescue party. (See names below.)
Special thanks go to the staff at the Llanganuco Lodge for their constant services throughout the rescue. The clients would particularly like to thank Mike for his constant support and unwavering help throughout.
Special thanks go to Jenn Hrinkevich for fielding difficult phone calls and handling the myriad of front country logistics.
Special thanks go to the members of the US Embassy who happened to be at the Llanganuco Lodge at the time of the accident and offered their support and connections throughout.
Note about the Rescue Police:
The dismal response of the Police High Mountain Rescue Team is of special note and the Huaraz climbing Community would like it to be made clear that their refusal to initiate a rescue due to the 'lateness of the hour" when they were alerted at 6:00pm is token to their gross inadequacy as a Rescue Unit. We would move to have the title "High Mountain Rescue Team" stripped from them as it causes confusion and delay. Because of this misleading title, people in need of rescue, call them instead of calling motivated and capable rescuers.
The rescuers would also like to make it clear that the Police did nothing to aid in the rescue despite the next day's newspaper article that states "Four Rescue police performed the extraction and recovery of the fallen climber's body."
To Tyler:
On behalf of the Huaraz Community, we are grateful to have known you Tyler during the many seasons that you spent with us. Your lively spirit and contagious love for adventure and beauty will stay with us and you will be dearly missed by all of us. We stand together with your family and Charmaine during this difficult time as we all try to make some meaning of this and let your departure from us become our new reality. Some how it is not hard to imagine your spirit out there somewhere on your next adventure. We will remember you often and most of us can't help but smile when we do.
Feliz viaje hermano!

Mark DeRobertis of Campbell describes himself as a creative person. A ceramics and drawing teacher at Monroe Middle School, he has spent much of his life creating paintings and sculptures, writing music and, recently, books.
Over the past four summers, DeRobertis has written four adult fiction books, two of which have been printed by small publishers. Killer of Killers, a martial arts action book, was published in August 2012 by Melange Books of White Bear Lake, Minn., while The Vase, a suspense intrigue story set in the Middle East, was published in August 2013 by Penumbra Books in Tennessee.
Although he teaches junior high school, his books are for adults.
"When people find out [I've written a book,] their automatic assumption is that it's a middle grade book because I'm a middle school teacher," he said.
When his students find out he's written books, they instantly want to read the stories. However, Killer of Killers contains adult material, he said.
"I tell the kids, 'Your parents can buy it but if they do, make sure you tell them I said it's not for kids," he said.
Both books take place in contemporary time. Killer of Killers centers around a young man who has spent much of his adult life in Japan becoming a martial arts master. Meanwhile, a drug has been invented in America that cures all illnesses and stops aging but has worrisome side effects. A billionaire has monopolized the drug, and only certain people are allowed to use it. The drug's side effects cause those who take it to commit violent crimes, but the corrupted system allows the criminals to get away with their crimes.
"So [the main character] says, 'If they're not going to deal the justice, I will,' " DeRobertis said.
The second book, The Vase, is about a humble Palestinian potter in Nazareth, Israel. When the potter cleans an ancient spinning vase, holographic images of ancient Romans are projected onto the street.
Those who see the images believe a nearby restaurant to be cursed, so the restaurant owner hires the star of an American ghost hunter show to exorcise his business. Meanwhile, a group of terrorists plans to assassinate the pope and the Israeli prime minister who are going on a tour of the Holy Land. The faction is also attempting to recruit the potter's 14-year-old son to become a suicide bomber.
DeRobertis imagined a way that it would be possible for images to be recorded into the grooves of a spinning vase.
"I'm not going to take credit for inventing the concept," he said. "But I did invent the means by which that concept might be possible."
It took a solid year for De-Robertis to write Killer of Killers and another couple of years to revise it, he said. It took him another year to find a publisher.
"Fortunately, being a teacher, I have this summer vacation," he said.
DeRobertis was born in Tucson, Ariz., but has lived in Campbell since 1990. He attended St. Francis High School and lived in Los Altos for much of his life. He studied art and earned his teaching credentials at San Jose State University.
"I love it here," he said.
DeRobertis and his wife, Elizabeth, who are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this month, moved to Campbell shortly after getting married. The couple has two sons, an 18-year-old who plays football at Westmont High School and an 11-year-old who attends Rolling Hills Elementary School.
Although things are great now, as a young art teacher, finding and keeping jobs was challenging.
"There's not a big demand for art teachers," he said. "I would get jobs … but I was always the last one hired and the first one let go because it was the art program they would always cut first."
After working at several different high schools, DeRobertis landed the job at Monroe in 2000. The school, located only five minutes from his home, was a perfect fit.
DeRobertis was first inspired to write a book at age 8 when his 10-year-old brother, Rick, started writing one. Today, Rick, inspired by his brother's publishing success, has decided to resume writing the book that he started at 10.
DeRobertis is in the final editing stages of Killerize, the sequel to Killer of Killers and is revising his book John Dunn, Hart of a Zulu, which takes place in South Africa during the height of British imperialism.
And more books might be in the works.
"I've got some more ideas up here brewing," he said, tapping his forehead.
Eventually, he would like to publish a young adult novel that his students could read. Although he hasn't yet written a plot yet, he plans for the book's title to be Inside the Outhouse.
DeRobertis said his favorite book so far is Killer of Killers, because he put a lot of himself into the main character. Although DeRobertis isn't a martial arts expert, many of his personality traits are similar to that of the main character.
"But, you know, I've never killed anyone," he clarified with a smile.
DeRobertis feels fortunate to have a supportive family.
"I've got a great family. My wife's been very dedicated to me," he said.
The published books are available in both print and digital format. To purchase a book, visit amazon.com, mélange-books.com or penumbrapublishing.com and search for "Killer of Killers" or "The Vase" by Mark DeRobertis.

Yes, A Copyright Law Joke
You don't see a lot of law comics, much less comics about copyright law. Does this clever cartoon from across the Web describe an instance of fair use? You be the judge.
Have Fun Watching The Country
826 National is an incredible non-profit dedicated to improving writing and other skills among children ages to six to eighteen. A few days after the election of Barack Obama, 826 centers in seven cities asked children to offer advice to the new president. The result was the deservedly celebrated book Thanks And Have Fun Running The Country.
As you might imagine, this book is a major tour de cute. One 9-year-old in Los Angles opines that if he were president, he "would help all nations, even Hawaii." A Seattle 7-year-old suggests that President Obama "turn on the heater, so it won't be cold." In short: awwwww.
You can imagine my surprise, then, when I came across the following suggestion from a Boston 12-year-old: "Dear, Barack Obama, … You should also build cameras all around our city to find out who is breaking the law, and also in movie theatres so we can tell who is making illegal copies."
Wait, what??? Did the DOJ and RIAA have a child together? The rest of this writer's suggestions are eminently reasonable—more power efficient cars, less smoking, and the like. Still, it's not often that you see a 12-year-old proponent of ubiquitous surveillance!
Privacy And Free Speech (ACLU No. Cal. Primer)
The ACLU of Northern California has published a primer (PDF) on the advantages to businesses of good privacy and free speech practices. The primer assembles many real-world instances of harms and benefits to companies due to their choices around user privacy and value speech. Congratulations to Nicky, Chris, and no doubt others in putting this together.
A Short Tour Of Robot Case Law
"Robots again." That's how federal appellate judge Alex Kozinski begins his dissent from the Ninth Circuit's decision not to rehear Wendt v. Host International. The "robots" refers to animatronic replicas of Cliff and Norm from the TV series Cheers built by an airport bar chain as a gimmick. The "again" refers to the earlier case of White v. Samsung, where Samsung ran ads depicting a robot version of Wheel of Fortune's Vanna White with the tag line "Longest-running game show, 2012 A.D." She sued. (To her credit, however, Ms. White kept her head. She did not turn into a car and drive over to Samsung headquarters, as was no doubt her first instinct.)
People suing over robot versions of themselves is just one of the ways robots make ordinary cases more interesting. As personal robotics moves toward the multibillion-dollar market Bill Gates and some analysts predict, we are likely to see more—and more interesting—robot-driven litigation. What follows is a little tour of robot case law to date.
Wendt and White are examples of torts, such as "appropriation of likeness," involving the right to publicity. Robot versions of people also complicate trade tariffs. According to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, "[t]oys representing animals or non-human creatures (for example, robots and monsters)" get different treatment from toys representing straightforward humans. The U.S. Court of International Trade once had to sort out whether various Marvel action figures were human. Robot Wolverine was a cinch; the parties eventually stipulated to his categorization as non-human. Others were not so easy. Today's figures are even trickier. What if someone tried to import a Cylon figurine of Helo and Athena's daughter on Battlestar Galactica?
Copyright law presents another context where robot toys trigger lawsuits. It turns out, for instance, that "robot-like battle machines … and direct communication between machine and human brain" are "familiar themes" not entitled to copyright protection. ("Familiar themes" makes it sounds almost comforting…) Nor, thank God, does trademark protect the concept of pitting small robots against one another in battle.
On the more physical side of things, criminal law gives us the recent example of Reinhardt v. Fuller. Dave Reinhardt was holed up in his parent's house following a dispute over his inheritance. The local swat team arrived and deployed a two-and-a-half foot tall robot complete with cameras, a microphone, a mounted gun, and a "claw… for breaking glass" to subdue Reinhardt. "Appellant fired four shotgun blasts at the robot." He was soon arrested.
Industrial robots have also wrought their share of chaos. In what is no joking matter, a court denied liability on the part of the robot manufacturer where a worksite was improperly secured, "thereby exposing [plaintiffs] to the danger of injury by being caught in the robot's jaws."
Amusing, however, is the 1998 case of Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. v. Cybo Systems, Inc., where an industrial parts company convinced its manufacturer client to take on Al Bove and Al Treu, two "robot technicians," as installation support. The client gave the robots a shot, but ended up having to hire a human technician to finish the job.
I predict that robot-related litigation will only grow. A personal robot wanders into a neighbors yard collides and with a toddler. Is this robot like a dog, in which case the owner may be liable? Or is there a cause of action against the manufacturer? Experts argue that the use of intelligent robots may cause us to rethink the laws of war. Others argue that robots will one day themselves hold rights and liabilities. The possibilities are endless. We may even eventually see a robot practice group akin to today's practice groups around video games. Maybe Al Bove and Al Treu could join up. I hear they are looking for work.
Cast of cases by order of appearance:
Wendt v. Host Intern., Inc., 197 F.3d 1284 (9th Cir. 1999).
White v. Samsung Elec. Am., Inc., 971 F.2d 1395 (9th Cir. 1992)

See Otter
As if we privacy advocates didn't have enough to worry about, this sea otter apparently got a hold of a video camera and was "filming" tourists. Witnesses speculated that some boater dropped the camera and this fun-loving, puppy-of-the-sea found it floating in the Bay. But of course you and I know the terrible truth: DARPA microchips...
Facebook & The Charitable Deceptions Of Nostalgia
Facebook trends proceed at a spooky (in the quantum sense) pace. It took the New York Times all of a week to pick up on 25 Random Things. I've noticed a subtler trend lately, one that is perhaps a more obvious sign of the times. The nostalgic photo album.
It seems that every time I open my account I have been tagged in a new photo from the late 80s or early 90s. I click the link and there I am again in a black and red flannel. And this trend knows no boundaries. I grew up in Italy and was tagged in a group photo from scuola elementare. You can see me in the back row, white shirt tucked into blue sweat pants, followed by two dozen comments along the lines of "che tremendo" or "dai, troppo forte!"
Where is this global flood of nostalgia coming from? I think my generation is finally scared. I think we're looking at two wars and a bad economy and remembering when Smashing Pumpkins came out and cruelty could still be confused with flirtation. As outlets go, however, I'd say this is fairly healthy. After a historic but short-lived unity, the post-911 Bush years brought ugliness—we saw increased interracial violence and a spike in sales at the box office for horror movies as we tried to muddle through the trauma. I'm fine with a trip down memory lane. We could use, to borrow from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, some charitable deceptions of nostalgia.
Symposium: Neuroscience And The Courts
The Stanford Technology Law Review's symposium is scheduled for February 27th, 2009. According to its website, the symposium will "showcase vibrant legal scholarship on the interplay between new advances in neurotechnology and traditional legal principles and concerns."
"The symposium will address some of the most exciting issues emerging in this field. Topics include:
* How neuroscience evidence will likely be used in the courts, especially in sexual predator prosecutions or in the penalty phase of capital cases
* What the field of neuroscience can offer the courts that the traditional social sciences cannot
* The relevance of psychopathy for the legal and forensic systems
* Whether neuroimaging data can enhance and improve upon understandings of criminal responsibility
* An overview of the current capabilities and limitations of neurotechnology to interpret and interfere with brain signals"
I'm moderating a panel on the ethical ramifications of neuroscientific research. Hope to see you there.
Women & The Rise Of Code: Is Power A Moving Target?
Outside of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel, power does not reside in any one person, object, or place. But it does cluster. An enormous percentage of those "in power," that is, in a position to make decisions of societal scope, are trained as lawyers. Nearly every judge has been to law school, as have the majority of legislators, many industry and non-profit leaders, and 26 out of the past 44 U.S. presidents.
It should come as no surprise, then, that much feminist scholarship focuses on the ongoing underrepresentation of women in the legal profession, particularly in its upper echelons. Yale first began formally admitting women to its law school in 1918. Ninety years later, only 17.3 percent of law firm partners are women. Eighteen of the 100 U.S. senators are women, and the federal bench remains about 80 percent male. An impressive body of scholarship seeks to demonstrate that this dearth of women (i) results from ongoing, systemic discrimination; (ii) means women have less input into making, applying, and interpreting law and policy; and (iii) ultimately translates into law that (subtly) discriminates against women or promotes masculine values.
A not untypical counter concedes that women have historically faced discrimination, but insists that there is now every reason to be hopeful. The number of women who serve in the state and federal executive, judicial, and legislative branches is on the rise. Women have in recent years been appointed to serve as chiefs of police and fire in major cities. Last year saw the first female four-star general. A woman was very nearly the Democratic nominee for president in 2008 (and is now the third female Secretary of State). Some argue that this trend will inevitably continue as the women who make up nearly 50 percent of current law students graduate into an ever-more enlightened legal workforce.
Whether women will attain equality within and under the law is an extremely important question. I want to suggest, however, that this debate cannot occupy feminists to the point that they fail to keep an eye on the movements of power itself. Precisely as women begin to make serious gains within the legal profession, it is becoming less and less clear that law will remain the primary repository of societal power.
Beginning a decade ago with the work of Lawrence Lessig, our eyes are opening to the incredible importance of "code" and other facets of information technology in shaping human possibilities. In predicting the ongoing relevance of the U.S. on the global stage, influential author and political scientist George Friedman cited to the fact that most programming codes are written in English. Computers have become an indispensible part of our everyday experience. More and more of our social, economic, and political activities are moving online. Cyberspace itself is leaving the plastic box of the desktop and intertwining with the world through mobile phones and networked objects (which explains the many recent references to an "Internet of Things").
If Lessig, Friedman, Joel Reidenberg, Danielle Citron, and many others are correct, then power may be shifting. It may be moving out of the hands of lawyers and into the hands of those who create, program, and maintain the information technologies that mediate our lives.
It turns out that these people are not, by and large, women. In 2003, women made less than a quarter of computer engineers and scientists. Moreover, and in clear contrast to the legal profession, female representation in computer science is trending sharply downward. One study found that the proportion of undergraduate computer science degrees pursued by women declined 15% between 1985 and 2001 (from 37% to 22%). Another study found that female enrollment in computer science programs fell from 26.7% in 1996, to 22.2% in 2005. The Computer Research Association recently reported that between 2001 and 2007, the percentage of women in computer science slipped even further, to 11.8%. With the notable exception of pioneers like Dr. Cynthia Breazeal, the new head of MIT's influential Media Lab, women have low and declining representation in precisely that clubhouse into which power appears to be sneaking.
Clearly the age of law soldiers on; the underrepresentation of women in the legal profession remains an extremely important topic for study and advocacy. But feminists should be wary also of power's apparent migration. It is crucial for talented women to enter and lead the field of computing and information technology. Feminist legal scholars concerned with a male monopoly on power should link up with the many practitioners and scholars already studying disproportionality and discrimination in the sciences.

Ramifications of riding a bike that is too small?
What I have is an old Peugeot that is about a 54 or 52 cfm bike and I should probably be on 58 or even 60cm bike at six feet tall. I only got the thing last spring, free from a friend who was out hunting disgarded bikes for me. Well, I put a lot of time and a little bit of money (not much really) into fixing it up and getting it road worthy. I can;t bring myself to sell it. My question is this: what are the (negative) ramifications of riding a bike with (1970's) race geometry that is two sizes too small? It it going to be "twitchier" than it should be or harder to control than a "normal" sized bike? Am I in any physical danger from any kind of a strain or muscle pull or any thing from being in a more compact riding position than the designer intended? Will I still be able to have fun?
I ride a bike that is too small-occasionally. You can raise the saddle and push it as far back as you can- you can buy a longer bar stem and hopefully get one with more rise aswell. And you can get it so that it is almost comfortable to ride- but you will never get the best out of it.
If you can get it to semi-fit, then give it a go. But keep your eye open for a larger bike that does fit.
Only problem on the body that I can see is back ache and numb hands. If you don't get these- then you have adapted the bike to fit.
Exactly. I developed quite bad upper back pain and some off/on finger numbness when riding a too small bike too much. Hadn't happened before that bike nor has it happened since I got rid of it. It's probably ok as long as it's used only for short jaunts, but will be uncomfortable for longer rides.
Assuming you can get the saddle in correct position in relation to the BB, the crank arms are the right length, and you can get a long enough stem to put the hoods in the right spot, it should be fine.
Riding a bike that is too small is sure to result in ED, unless you would happen to be a woman.
I get horrible knee pain, to the point that I can't walk up or down stairs, if I ride a 62 cm bike without getting a longer seatpost :(
A good way to make sure you won't like cycling is to keep riding a bike that is way too small. Sell it, trade it or give it to a friend who it fits. Then get yourself something that fits you. You'll probably have to stop thinking 'free', to get a good fit, but when was the last time big boys toys were cheap. bk

Here is a pic of a bike that is too small for me--According to everyone that sees it. It isn't and the only reason I Don't ride it often is that it is no where near the quality or ride of my good bikes. Pic of one attached too. Both fit me and that "Too Small" bike lasted me my first year of riding and got me up a Mountain. Still got it and it does have it's uses still.

better a bike too small than large, i believe
Hurts my knees thats about it....
I think most people make this mistake at some point; and often it's their first
road bike.
Ride it. You will futz aroudn trying to get comfy; and eventually give up and
get something else. Seems to be what happens to a lot of us.
I felt perched atop my 54cm frame; I feel like I am actually riding my 56cm frame. Big difference in how much control you have over your bike. Of course the pros seem to ride bikes they look perched atop of and do just fine. However, they have a lot of custom-made hardware to fit their particular geometry. Us plebes generally don't have access to that bit of stuff.
To a degree you can always increase the virtual size of a smaller frame by raising the seatpost (and getting one with a lot of setback) and a long stem so your handlebars aren't making you feel oppressed. At 6 feet tall, however, 52 is probably just too damn small for you to pedal correctly which easily leads to trashed knees.
Velo Orange has the seatposts you may want, they push the seat back quite a long way. Look at the Nitto Long Technomic stems while you are there. That will let you adjust the handlebar away from your knees. Oh, be wary of the wheel striking your shoe when you turn. THAT could be painful too.
I don't know about that. My first bike was too small and I experienced a lot of back pain, neck pain, and hand numbness. I now own a bike that fits very well and one that is a bit too large. I can ride the large bike just fine, the only problem is that I feel a bit stretched and it tires my arms after a while. I guess it's easier to make corrections on a smaller bike.

The plot is launched by the death of (fictional) drag diva extraordinaire Cherise, who was the founder and star of a drag show she led in her own theater. Cherise's company is devastated by grief and loss, and by the hostility of his mother, Betty (played with startling conviction by Gordon Vandenberg), who hates and distrusts homosexuals in general and drag queens in particular. She has barred drag attire at the funeral and sold the theater.
George (Jeffrey Wylie), the most grief-stricken of the queens, is determined to keep Cherise's theater going, assisted by his lover, Joe (Happi Price). But there's emotional turmoil in the ranks. Philip (Jeremy Lucas), a straight guy who's making his living as a drag performer, falls in love with Jan (Yolanda A. Banos); but her mother, Teresa (Antoinette Senatore), is hell-bent on dissuading her from marrying a drag artist. Billy (Tony Melson) is gay, but his lover, Ramon (DT Matias), objects to his appearing in female attire and severs their relations when Billy refuses to give up performing. (At this point it's a foregone conclusion that Ramon will appear in drag by show's end.)
Many of the songs, pitched as numbers in the drag show, range from undersea fantasies to tributes to various diva deities, from Liza Minnelli and Joan Crawford to Hillary Clinton, graced with exotic fantasy costumes by Christy M. Hauptman, and choreography by Shanna Beauchamp on Bill Cole's handsome mock-glamorous set.
It's a harum-scarum show, but all the actors have their moments, including Nabor Arias as hefty queen Juan. Lucas has sharp musical comedy skills, though he's not a great drag queen. Banos provides appealing romantic interest, and Price is an able eccentric comedian.
Presented by and at the Ruby Theatre at the Complex, 6476 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood. June 5–July 5. Fri.–Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 2 p.m.

There are but three things about baseball that make me sad: Arguments over the All-Star Game, arguments over the Hall of Fame, and when Joey Gallo takes a day off. Unfortunately, Frisco's be-cleated Bunyan spent last night away from the diamond, and he won't play again until Thursday. That's thanks to the Texas League's all-star break. So while Gallo sits, I'll be somewhere by myself, in a darkened room, listening, probably, to Gilbert O'Sullivan with tears slipping slowly down my forlorn face, waiting for Gallo to return.
On the first day of his absence, however, plenty of players stepped up to try to fill Gallo's void. Kris Bryant continued his torrid summer, Peter O'Brien got off the schneid, J.O. Berrios made another case for a ticket to New Britain, Mookie Betts made his own for a short drive to Yawkey Way, and Jose Peraza stayed scalding under the merciless Mississippi sun.
Mookie Meter
Betts was 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base on Monday, moving his consecutive games on base streak to 23 and setting the meter at three.
International League
Steven Souza, of, Syracuse (Nationals): During last season's Arizona Fall League, TrackMan registered Souza with the hardest-hit ball, according to exit velocity, in the entire league. That was a 115-mph rocket that went for a double, and he's spent this season in Triple-A (with a cameo in the majors) proving that the fall wasn't a fluke. Souza went 3-for-4 yesterday with two runs scored against Durham, and for June is hitting an astounding .382/.467/.618 with six doubles, four home runs and 17 RBIs. The day before, he hit a home run off a rehabbing Jeremy Hellickson that hit the famous Bull at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Pacific Coast League
Kris Bryant, 3b, Iowa (Cubs): OK, it's clear Bryant has the power portion of the game down to a science. He hit another jack during Monday's matinee with Albuquerque (A chance to see Kris Bryant, Javier Baez and Joc Pederson on one ticket? Awesome.), giving him four longballs so far in Triple-A, and 26 for the year, just one behind Gallo for the lead. Problem is, besides the four home runs, he doesn't have any other hits in Triple-A. He's 4-for-18 with four homers, so the calls to get him to Wrigley tomorrow should probably cool until he hits a single or something.
Eastern League
Peter O'Brien, c/1b, Trenton (Yankees): Boy, did he need this. After his early hot streak, O'Brien had found Double-A pitchers a little more difficult than those in the Florida State League. Case in point, in June O'Brien is hitting just .211/.277/.447 and has fanned 22 times in 76 at-bats (28.9 percent) against just five walks. The power, of course, is very, very real, and will more than likely play at the major league level. Right now, however, he needs to adjust to the adjustments Double-A pitchers have made to him, and he needs to find a long-term defensive position.
Southern League
Jose Peraza, 2b, Mississippi (Braves): This guy is on some kind of tear. He's hit in every game in June, and has been positively scorching since his promotion to Double-A. With the M-Braves, Peraza is 12-for-23, and went 3-for-5 last night with a home run, three runs scored and two RBIs. Overall this month, he's 38-for-84, which works out to an unreal .452 batting average. Moreover, he's 37-for-44 in stolen base attempts, and plays excellent defense.
|Home runs
|Joey Gallo
|Kris Bryant
|Peter O'Brien
|Adam Duvall
Texas League
As mentioned above, they had a scheduled off day.
Florida State League
J.O. Berrios, rhp, Fort Myers (Twins): Here at the roundup, we've become exasperated with trying to figure out why Berrios is still in high Class A. He dealt again last night, holding the mighty Stone Crabs to just one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out eight. He's got 98 punchouts on the year against just 21 walks, ranking him fourth among all the minors, behind Aaron Blair, Ben Lively and Taylor Cole. This month he's whiffed 46 and walked just four. At this point, we'll let Jay-Z take over. What more can I say? Guru, play the beat.
Carolina League
Christian Binford, rhp, Wilmington (Royals): The Royals' unchallenged master of the strike zone was at it again on Monday, limiting Frederick to three runs on eight hits over 6 2/3 innings. He whiffed six and walked zero. If that zero in the walk column looks familiar, it should. He hasn't walked a hitter in his last four starts, spanning 23 2/3 innings, and has walked just one over his last 30 2/3 frames. He's issued no walks in eight of his 13 starts this season, and two or fewer in 11 of 13.
California League
D.J. Peterson, 1b, High Desert (Mariners): Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reported yesterday that a promotion of Peterson to Double-A is near. A few hours later, Peterson continued beating on the Southern League's door. He clubbed his 18th homer of the season (how he wasn't a Cal League all-star is beyond us), scored twice and drove home two runs. His longball total is one behind Stockton's Matt Olson for the league lead, and his .615 slugging percentage is the best on the circuit.
South Atlantic League
Hunter Harvey, rhp, Delmarva (Orioles): After a rough last two turns, Harvey got back on track on Monday, spinning six innings of three-hit, one-run ball against West Virginia. He struck out seven and walked two. Harvey operates with a low-to-mid-90s fastball, a power curveball that could stand to gain a bit more consistency and a changeup that is clearly his third pitch at this point. He has all the earmarks of big things to come, but there's clearly a bit of work to be done before he can take the next step in achieving his ceiling.

Welcome to The Re-Dock — a weekly compendium of bike sharing news happening in places throughout the world. The Re-Dock stations you squarely at the center of the industry news that you want to know. This issue of the Re-Dock covers bike sharing news from March 4 through March 10.
Arlington, VA
Graduate students at Virginia Tech's Urban and Regional Planning program and the Mobility Lab have found that Capital Bikeshare is making a significant impact on its local economy.
- 73% of CaBi riders said that they chose bikeshare as their mode of transportation because it was the fastest way to get to their destination
- 66% of riders surveyed said they were using bikeshare to get to a location where they planned on spending money
- Most users planned to spend $10-$49 at their destination, but 30% were going to spend over $50
- One in six respondents said they wouldn't have made their trip at all if their destination hadn't been near a CaBi kiosk
Atlanta, GA
The Novare Group, real estate development and investment company based in Atlanta, has partnered with Zagster to provide small bike-share systems for its SkyHouse apartment communities in Atlanta and Orlando. In both cities, 4 bikes will be available to use with a one-time $20 membership fee.
Berlin, Germany
Lock8 has announced that they will be offering bulk packages for "universities, employers, cities, and even a group of friends [to] easily set up bike sharing and renting schemes." Discounts will be available in May for November orders. Currently, one Lock8 unit retails for $249.00.
Cupertino, CA
Bike share is coming to Apples new headquarters. At least 1000 bikes are planned to be available for employee-use on the 176 acre "spaceship" campus.
Dallas, TX
The Dallas Park and Recreation Board has allocated $125,000 for 2 stations and 15-20 bikes to be launched this summer in Dallas' Fair Park. Final approval from the Dallas Landmark Commission and the City Council are still necessary but the city plans to have the program in place by the end of May.
Milwaukee, WI
Midwest BikeShare Inc. is working with three suburban communities outside of Milwaukee to expand its bike share program. While the first phase of the system is set to launch this year in Milwaukee, Shorewood, Wauwatosa, and West Allis could join the growing program with funds from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. WDOT could provide up to $500,000 to each city if they are able to secure $100,000 in matching funds.
New York City, NY
Citi Bike, with more than 6.7 million trips and 98,000 annual members, is not yet profitable. NYC Bike Share and the City's Department of Transportation are in talks that could increase the cost of use. As the Gothamist points out, in a November survey, 91% of users polled said they would support public funds to expand the program. This may be another option on the table.
New York City, NY
A report from NYU Wagner's Rudin Center for Transportation and Policy Management says that Citi Bike has "become an integral part of New York City's transportation network." While the same can be said for other bike share systems in the US, Citi Bike's integration is arguably the best in the nation.

Leg ulcers: A new symptom of Blau syndrome? Volume 18, numéro 6, Novembre-Décembre 2008
Department of Dermatology, University Hospital of Ghent, De Pintelaan 185, 9000 Ghent, Belgium, Centre de génétique humaine, Université Catholique de Louvain, Av. E. Mounier, 1200 Bruxelles, Belgium
- Mots-clés : Blau syndrome, granulomatous dermatosis, leg ulcers
- DOI : 10.1684/ejd.2008.0510
- Page(s) : 635-7
- Année de parution : 2008
Blau syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition, typically defined by granulomatous polyarthritis, uveitis and skin eruption. Biopsy specimens demonstrate non-caseating granulomas in all lesions. We present a case of Blau syndrome associated with large recalcitrant leg ulcers. Biopsies taken in the leg ulcers of our patient systematically showed granulomas. Although leg ulcers have not previously been described as a part of Blau syndrome, we assume that the ulcerations in this case form part of Blau syndrome.

20 b"Assemble yourselves and come;
draw near together,
you survivors of the nations!
cThey have no knowledge
who dcarry about their wooden idols,
eand keep on praying to a god
that cannot save.
21 fDeclare and present your case;
let them take counsel together!
Who told this long ago?
Who declared it of old?
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God gand a Savior;

[JURIST] An Egyptian state security court convicted Muhammad Sayed Saber of spying for Israel's Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (Mossad) [official website] Monday and sentenced the former Egyptian Atomic Energy Agency [FAS backgrounder] employee to life in prison. Two foreign nationals, Brian Peter of Ireland and Shiro Izo of Japan, were convicted in absentia and also sentenced to life imprisonment. Saber, who passed documents to Mossad in exchange for $17,000, argued he was innocent because he only turned over outdated material that posed no security threat to Egypt [JURIST news archive].
Saber was arrested [JURIST report] in February, but Egyptian authorities delayed the announcement of the arrest until April pending further investigation. Egypt is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [text; JURIST news archive] and is allowed to develop peaceful uses of nuclear technology under international supervision. AP has more.

In a New Light
- Artist: Julie Grower
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 10/17/2000
|your cart is empty
ISWM Top Pick of the Month - The moody undertones of Julie's voice set the right tone for this understated piece of songwriting pleasure. The stories are simple, yet when delivered by Julie, they take on subtle shades of interpretation. Her relaxed handling of the lyrics creates a sense of shadowed indifference to the stories being conveyed. Julie Grower proves that even small changes in vocal tone or minute shifts in the music can excel the songs to brave new heights of glory. Julie Grower makes it look so easy, and makes it sound so good. - Independent Songwriter Web-Magazine Les Reynolds of Indie-Music.com says: 'From listening to this CD, it appears this young singer/songwriter has stripped away all the pretense, affectations and trimmings to get to the heart of her own true sound.' 'In A New Light' was produced by Julie Grower and Jon Gordon (who has served as musical director and guitarist for Suzanne Vega and Madonna). Gordon also handles much of the instrumental work on the album. The album also features Lisa Haney on Cello, Robert Sheridan on Guitar, Chris Benelli on Drums, Kenny Kosek on Violin, and Charlie Giordano on Accordian, among others. See more reviews below.

Wikis > Dictionary of Islam > Muhayat
A legal term used for the partition of usufruct. According to the Hidayah, vol. iv. 31:—
Partition of property is more effectual than partition of usufruct in accomplishing the employment of the use; for which reason, if one partner apply for a partition of property, and another for a partition of usufruct, the Qasi must grant the request of the former, and if a partition of usufruct should have taken place with respect to a thing capable of a partition of property (such as a house or a piece of ground), and afterwards one of the partners apply fore partition of property, the Qazi must grant a partition of property and annul the partition of usufruct.
Based on Hughes, Dictionary of Islam

Did you know that today is Middle Name Pride Day? It's true!
Are you especially proud of your middle name, or have you always found it rather boring? Maybe even embarrassing? And how did you go about choosing your baby's middle name?
As with the entire baby naming process, finding inspiration for a middle name can come from many places — whether it's honoring a family member or just choosing something that has a nice flow from first to last name. A lot of parents find choosing the middle name to be an even harder decision than the first — you don't want to give your child unfortunate initials (A.S.S., D.U.M., P.O.O….), and you don't want to ruin a perfectly lovely name with a clunker in the middle. There's often pressure to honor a family member (and from which side of the family?), and then there's the issue of deciding on not one but TWO names with your partner. It may have taken months to sell him on "Penelope," now you have to decide on another name too?
But, again, as with the entire baby naming process, each decade tends to see trends come and go — including the middle name. So in honor of Middle Name Pride Day (holla!), I've rounded up the 7 most common new trends for middle names:
Click through for 7 trends for choosing a middle name for your baby…
Trend #1: Nature Names
Nature names — flowers, seasons, weather — and animal names are having a moment right now (think Poppy, Clover, Juniper, Wolf, Winter, etc.). Middle names give parents a little room to be quirky and trendy, paired with a more classic first name. Here are some trendy choices right now…
A flower name that's being revived right now (in part due to Beyonce and Jay-Z's Blue Ivy). Other flower name choices for a middle name: Flora, Poppy, Willow, Violet.
This name actually combines two baby-naming trends: It's a place name (an island off Scotland), as well as a nature name (as in, the sky).
A unisex name that has a nature-y vibe. Other similar choices: River, Cloud, Storm, and Snow.
Meaning "bird," this is a cooler-than-average animal name choice. Other choices: Fox, Dove, and Bear.
Directional names have also been trendy lately — especially "West" and "North".
Trend #2: Word Names
Word names are an overall naming trend right now (think Story, Arrow, and Ever), but — as I mentioned before — middle names give parents a little breathing room to get creative. And when it comes to middle word names, INSPIRATIONAL names are a big trend…
If you don't want your daughter to have a Top-20 first name (purely due to popularity), yet you love this virtue name, why not use it in the middle? But, be warned, Grace is a very popular name, even in the middle.
Another virtue name that's steadily climbing up the charts. If you don't want to saddle your daughter with a first name that exudes purity and goodness, it's a lovely choice for a middle name.
Another word name choice for a middle name.
And here's a word name that works much better as a middle name than a first name.
Trend #3: Unisex Names
Unisex names are super trendy right now, but some parents like to balance a masculine name with a feminine alternative for a daughter. And, on the other hand, some parents are avoiding unisex boy names (Quinn, Jordan) because of the rise in girls with those names. Which is why choosing a unisex MIDDLE name is a safe choice — quirky for girls and classic for boys.
Charlie is a super-friendly nicknamey-name that parents are using for both boys AND girls. In fact, the name Charlie (plus Charley and Charleigh, not to mention Charlotte) has drastically jumped up the popularity list for girls. For parents who like the name "Charlie" but don't want to use the formal "Charles" or popular "Charlotte," it just might make the perfect middle name.
Color names are very trendy right now — Scarlet, Violet, Blue, Ruby, etc. — and Gray or Grey is a trendy MIDDLE name choice. While Greyson is becoming more and more popular as a first name, more parents are sticking with the punchier "Gray" as a middle.
"Blue" is another unisex color choice for a middle name.
Whether you choose Ray (typically for boys, but works on either) or Rae (typically for girls), either unisex name is pure coolness.
A short one-syllable name that's trendy and gender-bending.
This traditionally male name is actually more trendy as a girl's middle name.
Trend #4: Maiden Name Middle Names
Many modern parents compromise on the woman-and-children-taking-the-man's-last-name issue (which can feel archaic to some) by bumping her maiden name as a family middle name.
Trend #5: Multiple Middle Names
According to Nameberry, this started as a British trend originating with royalty, yet is being adopted by name enthusiasts all over the world. Whether it's to honor multiple family members, to include a maiden name, or just because it's impossible to narrow their list to only two favorites, we might see more kids with multiple middle names.
Trend #6: Popular Picks
There are certain middle names that keep popping up, just as "Ann," "Marie" and "Lynn" did for my generation…
A pretty, delicate name that seems to flow with almost any first name. Whether it's to celebrate a birth month, honor an ancestor (May or Mae is an old-fashioned classic), or "just because," May is certainly one of the top middle name choices for today's Sophias and Isabellas.
The other most popular "month" name, this is another old-fashioned name being revived right now — especially as a middle name.
Is it just me, or does every other little girl have "Rose" as her middle name? There's no surprise as to why: It has a short one-syllable sound, with a pretty, feminine aura.
Quite possible the most obvious middle-name name for boys. It has a simple sound with a timeless cool factor.
One of the most popular middle name choices for boys.
Another middle-name choice that keeps popping up on little boys.
Trend #7: Future Popular Middle Names?
These names have all the characteristics of being the next "it" middle names…
Short, punchy, and feminine — the new Rose, perhaps?
Borrowing from the "Bella" boom, Belle might have a nicer (ahem) ring to it.
An old-timey, one-syllable name with a sweet feminine feel (a la Rose) and some symbolism to it. As the birthstone of June, you could use Pearl to honor a family member born in June.
A nature name that's been popping up more frequently — especially as a middle name.
This is a middle name (and only a middle name) that I've been hearing more and more lately. It's quirky and spunky, with that coveted one-syllable ease.
Longtime lovers of the name Max might be turned off for its dog-name associations. But as a middle name? It's short yet full of personality, with that trendy "x" ending.
What's YOUR middle-naming style? And what name did you choose for your little one(s)?

Chelsea host West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, kick off 3pm at Stamford Bridge.
Last week was a miserable affair for the Blues, with a Champions League exit by Paris Saint-Germain quickly followed by an FA Cup exit at the hands of Everton.

Oil and natural gas driller Ensco plc (ESV - Free Report) reported diluted first-quarter 2014 earnings of $1.31 a share (excluding onetime items), which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.21. Significant improvement in Floaters' average dayrates aided the results.
However, the earnings decreased 3.7% from $1.36 earned in the year-earlier quarter, owing to reduced rig utilization along with increased contract drilling expenses.
Total revenue grew 3.2% to $1,187.0 million from $1,149.9 million generated in the year-ago quarter. On the flip side, total revenue missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,193.0 million.
Segment Performance
Floaters: Revenues rose 3.0% to $740.5 million in the reported quarter from the year-earlier level of $719.2 million. The improvement was mainly backed by the commencement of initial contract for ENSCO DS-7.
Rig utilization in this segment dropped to 68% from 83% in the year-earlier quarter. However, dayrate increased to $446,801 from $379,801 a year ago.
Jackups: Revenues at the Jackup fleet jumped to $429.9 million from $410.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The average dayrate improved 11.7% to $130,934 from $117,268. Overall jackup utilization fell to 84% from 88% in the year-earlier quarter.
Other: Revenues came in at $16.6 million, down 18.0% from $20.2 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Costs and Expenses
Depreciation expenses grew 7.4%, contract drilling expenses rose 7.8%, while general and administrative expenses increased 0.8% on a year-over-year basis.
Balance Sheet and Capex
At the end of the first quarter of 2014, Ensco had $122.5 million in cash. Long-term debt stood at $4,703.7 million, with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 26.9% (compared with 27.0% in the preceding quarter).
With the completion of the construction phase of six additional rigs − scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2014 − Ensco is expected to achieve significant growth. During 2013, Ensco received the delivery of three ultra-deepwater drillships and the ultra-premium jackup ENSCO 120. Ensco has a $10 billion contract revenue backlog, excluding bonus opportunities. The company's solid backlog position provides it with excellent cash flow visibility. Additionally, an impressive balance sheet and sufficient liquidity will help it address operational and corporate needs.
Zacks Rank
Ensco carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), implying that it is expected to perform in line with the broader U.S equity market over the next one to three months.
Meanwhile, one can look at better-ranked players in the energy sector like Boardwalk Pipeline Partners LP (BWP - Free Report) , Matrix Service Company (MTRX - Free Report) and Helmerich & Payne Inc. (HP - Free Report) . All the stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka man whose first conviction was overturned by the Kansas Supreme Court has been found guilty again in a death after a barroom fight.
A Shawnee County District Court jury on Monday convicted 29-year-old James Arthur Qualls III of premeditated first-degree murder in the July 2008 death of Joseph Beier. Qualls will be sentenced July 23.
Beier was shot 12 times in a confrontation at the Whiplash Bar. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Qualls testified that he shot Beier in self-defense.
Qualls was first convicted in 2010 and sentenced to life in prison with a mandatory minimum term of 25 years. But the Kansas Supreme Court ordered a new trial after finding that the judge in the first trial gave improper jury instructions.

Ligue 1 minnows also hoping to keep Grougi and Baysse
Brest will not part with Nolan Roux on the cheap and are also looking to keep Bruno Grougi and Paul Baysse.
Having successfully avoided the drop in 2010/11, the Ligue 1 outfit have seen a number of their players draw admiring glances from afar.
Promising frontman Roux is attracting the most attention, with German giants Schalke said to be closing on the 23-year-old's signature.
Brest, though, have made it clear that they will not part with their most potent attacking weapon for less than €8million (£7.2m).
"The Roux clause has to be respected by both sides," club chairman Michel Guyot told L'Equipe.
"It is €8million and not 50 cents less. As long as that valuation is not met, he will remain at Brest."
Guyot has also sought to play down speculation suggesting highly-rated playmaker Grougi and defensive ace Baysse could soon be on their way out of the club.
"Grougi? We are waiting for an offer because there hasn't been one so far," he said.
"If an offer is made and it suits us, we might do business. If something happens we will look for a replacement immediately."
He added: "Baysse? Paul is non-transferable. We won't let key men depart and leave coach Alex Dupont short on numbers."
