In My Words: Don't let a sensational trial convict our whole justice system
The acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin sparked cries of a broken system from many Americans, but Assistant Professor Kenneth Fernandez warns about the risks of possible court reforms.
The following column has appeared recently in the Annapolis (Md.) Capital, the Roanoke Times, the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, the Gaston Gazette and (Burlington, N.C.) Times-News via the Elon University Writers Syndicate. Viewpoints shared by this syndicate are those of the author and not of Elon University.
Don't let a sensational trial convict our whole justice system
By Kenneth Fernandez - email@example.com
It's nearly impossible to find someone who doesn't have a strong opinion on the guilt or innocence of George Zimmerman, the white Florida neighborhood watch volunteer just acquitted in the 2012 death of a Skittles-packing black teenager.
Reaction was immediate from those who believed the jury got it wrong. You had NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous describing his "outraged and heartbroken" emotions, adding that "we are called to act." The Rev. Al Sharpton, no stranger to controversial stories involving race, labeled the verdict a "slap in the face to the American people."
Similar passions divided the nation with Casey Anthony, O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson, and like those cases, we now hear demands to fix a court system that let Trayvon Martin's death go unpunished. Yet we should be careful before rushing to change our criminal justice process or we may regret what these changes produce.
There is certainly distrust in the way things operate. Nearly three quarters of Americans in some surveys believe the court system is "not harsh enough" and barely one in 10 say they have a "great deal of confidence" in the criminal justice system. Only Congress and HMOs score lower marks, so it's understandable that some people want change.
The most drastic step would be to create a system based on the assumption of guilt until proven innocent. "Innocent until proven guilty" cannot be found anywhere in our Constitution. Legal scholars suggest that we have merely interpreted the Fifth Amendment's text, "no person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law," as giving prosecutors the burden of proving a defendant's guilt.
Or we can move to a system where we scrap the notion of "reasonable doubt" and rely instead on what we do in civil trials with a "preponderance of evidence."
Or maybe we find guilt based on a simple majority of jurors. Both Oregon and Louisiana allow for non-unanimous verdicts in felony trials. This might be the easiest reform to bring about since the public would likely support it and the U.S. Supreme Court, in the 1972 case Apodaca v. Oregon, has already upheld its constitutionality.
In one sense, today's criminal justice system is designed to let the guilty go free. Our process is based on the legal and moral reasoning that a person is innocent until the government provides substantial evidence to the contrary, even for those who we are sure, at the bottom of our stomach, did the crime.
In fact, our court system may face a different problem than letting criminals go free. Statistics on felony trials show that juries end up convicting about 75 percent of all defendants who go to trial. This doesn't include the 80 to 90 percent of defendants who strike plea deals.
With one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, our system is far from perfect, but the evidence does not seem to suggest a system that is incapable of convicting defendants.
For every George Zimmerman, Casey Anthony or O.J. Simpson there is a Randall Dale Adams, a Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and a Clarence Brandley, all imprisoned with little or questionable evidence and whose stories have been featured in popular Hollywood films.
Before we let sensational, high-profile court cases drive our judgment on our criminal justice system we should consider the words of Robert Jackson, the American in charge of prosecuting Nazi war criminals in the Nuremberg trial:
"The ultimate principle is that you must put no man on trial under the forum of judicial proceedings if you are not willing to see him freed if not proved guilty," Jackson once said. "The world yields no respect to courts that are merely organized to convict."

Gunmen Down Military Helicopter In Central Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi officials say gunmen have downed a military helicopter north of Baghdad, killing its five-member crew.
Two intelligence officers and a military official say the helicopter was shot down while it was providing aerial support to troops on the ground during a gunbattle today with militants outside the city of Tikrit, 80 miles north of the Iraqi capital.
The officers spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to media.
The fighting was part of the military's counter-insurgency operation recently launched in Sunni-dominated areas in central and northern Iraq. But the operation, dubbed "Revenge for the Martyrs," has not made significant headway in stopping the violence that has gripped Iraq since April.
More than 5,000 people have been killed since then.

BANNER ELK, N.C. – For the second time this year, the King University women's track and field team took home a Conference Carolinas Championship. After winning the indoor title earlier this spring, the Tornado won the outdoor championship on Saturday with 123 points.
Maegan Henry was named women's field athlete of the year after winning both the shot put and the hammer throw. She recorded a distance of 13.61 meters in the shot put while tossing he hammer 41.12 meters, to take home both titles. Henry also placed third in the javelin throw with a toss of 30.28 meters.
In the 5,000 meters, Hannah Witt scored 10 points for the Tornado as she won the event with a time of 18:09.81. Atlanta Westbrook took home another title for King as she posted a time of 59.54 seconds to win the 400 meters while Ashley Ruth finished fourth in the same race with a time of 1:02.00.
The 4x100 meter relay team of Lanneickia Brewton, Callie Todt, Tia Nelson and Alexis Robinson also took home a championship for the Tornado. The quartet finished the race in 49.22 seconds to finish 0.21 seconds faster than the second place finishers.
Danielle Beauvais, Carly Griffith and Brewton all posted top-10 finishes on the day. Beauvais posted a second place finish in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a time of 11:54.60 while Griffith finished the 800 meters in 2:26.58 to place second. In the 200 meters, Brewton finished third with a time of 25.80 seconds.
Callie Todt also turned in a solid performance for King as she scored a point for the Tornado in the 400 meter hurdles. Todt placed sixth with a time of 1:08.19.
"This ladies team is the most talented and determined squad King has ever had," said head coach Peter Dalton. "The coaching staff is proud of our seniors and their efforts along with the other student-athletes that have dedicated themselves to an amazing year of success."
King's 123 points placed the in first place ahead of Queens University's 113.50 points. The win marks the Tornado's third conference title this school year as they also won the women's cross country title and the women's indoor track and field championship.

MSI P965 and 975X Motherboards Compared
Subject: Motherboards | January 2, 2007 - 01:44 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tech Report has a review up that looks at the MSI P965 and 975X motherboards and how they compare with one another.
Apparent overclocking potential is one of very few differences between MSI's P965 and 975X Platinum. Price is another, and given just how similar the boards are, I'm not sure the 975X is worth the extra $20—not unless you really want Viiv support. That's not a knock against the 975X Platinum, mind you; it's the cheapest enthusiast-oriented 975X board on the market.

The guys at HardOCP have taken the new Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard for a test run.
However, there are a few areas of improvement that became more apparent during the overclocking test runs. My biggest complaints center on the board cooling mechanisms, or lack thereof. The northbridge passive chipset cooler was barely adequate for stock running, but quickly became too hot to handle when any overclocking was attempted. This was easily remedied with a low speed fan.

HardOCP has posted a review up today of the MSI P965 motherboard.
Essentially, the P965 is a great motherboard, especially at stock speeds, but unremarkable. Overclocking is mediocre, but not horrible. The layout is excellent, and the board has a solid feature set, and isn't over burdened with an excessive amount of features that most users will likely never touch. Some issues I experienced were annoying, but should easily be fixed with BIOS and driver updates.

YANGON (Reuters) - A U.N. human rights envoy said a 200-strong mob attacked his car in central Myanmar this week, kicking windows and doors and shouting abuse, as he arrived to investigate Buddhist-led violence against Muslims, but the government said he was mistaken.
Tomás Ojea Quintana, a U.N. special rapporteur on human rights, said the attack occurred on Monday at about 10.30 p.m. in Meikhtila, where a wave of anti-Muslim riots in March killed at least 43 people, destroyed hundreds of homes and displaced thousands.
Ojea Quintana's accusations of a mob attack underscore the challenges Myanmar's reformist government faces in containing violence and pacifying long-simmering tensions in one of Asia's most ethnically diverse countries.
"The fear that I felt during this incident, being left totally unprotected by the nearby police, gave me an insight into the fear residents would have felt when being chased down by violent mobs during the violence last March," he told reporters late on Wednesday.
The Myanmar government denied the attack.
"I'm so sorry that Mr. Quintana, as usual, seems to have said quite the opposite of what really happened on the ground," said presidential spokesman Ye Htut.
"These people were waiting just to stage a peaceful protest and to give him a letter of protest. Some of them knocked on his car window to give him the letter but they didn't open it and the police finally drove them away," he said.
Ojea Quintana made the comments at the end of a 10-day visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma, in which he toured regions worst affected by repeated anti-Muslim violence in the Buddhist-majority country, where 49 years of military rule ended in March 2011.
In some regions, signs have emerged of ethnic cleansing, and of impunity for those inciting it, threatening the country's historic democratic transition.
In Meikhtila, a city of 100,000, just 130 km (80 miles) north of the capital of Naypyitaw, nearly 13,000 people, mostly Muslims, were driven from their homes and businesses in March. Many now still live in crowded camps for internally displaced people (IDP).
After the attack on his car, Ojea Quintana abandoned a plan to visit an IDP camp housing about 1,600 Muslims and urged the government to do more to control violent mobs.
He praised Myanmar's reformist government for making "positive changes to the human rights situation", citing President Thein Sein's pledge to release all political prisoners by year's end.
But he painted a grim picture of Rakhine State, where clashes between Rakhine Buddhists and stateless Rohingya Muslims in June and October 2012 killed at least 192 people and displaced 140,000, most of them Muslims. Afterwards, the authorities imposed apartheid-like policies segregating Rohingya Muslims from Buddhists.
The separation of the two communities "is becoming increasingly permanent, making the restoration of trust difficult", he said. "This continues to have a particularly negative impact on the Muslim community."
Severe restrictions on freedom of movement for Muslims had "serious consequences" for access to healthcare, education and livelihoods, he said. Access to healthcare was further hampered by local groups intimidating humanitarian workers trying to serve the camps, he said.
In Sittwe, the Rakhine State capital, Ojea Quintana visited Aung Mingalar, the last Muslim-dominated quarter remaining after last year's violence.
The quarter is locked down by police and soldiers who patrol all streets leading in and out. Muslims can't leave without written permission from Buddhist local authorities, which Muslims told Reuters was almost impossible to secure.
Ojea Quintana said he heard many serious allegations of the use of "excessive force" in dealing with Muslim crowds, including a recent incident in which police in Sittwe opened fire with live ammunition to disperse Muslim protesters, killing two people.
He said prisons in Sittwe and the northern township of Buthidaung were filled with hundreds of Muslim men and women, many of whom "have been arbitrarily detained and tried in flawed trials".
But he said he had received assurances that authorities in Rakhine state had dropped a controversial two-child limit on Rohingya families that sparked international outrage earlier this year.

A reward is being offered for information about a stolen vehicle and a string of vehicle burglaries committed Tuesday morning on Winder Road in Thibodaux.
A reward is being offered for information about a stolen pickup and a string of vehicle burglaries committed Tuesday on Winder Road in Thibodaux.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office has issued a warrant for the arrest of Spencer Reid Sims, 33, 203 Willard Drive, Houma, and said others may be involved.
After 3 a.m. Tuesday, deputies received a call about someone trying to break into a car on Winder Road. Deputies found the suspect in his vehicle, but he fled, they said. Moments later, the suspect's car was found flipped on its side in a swimming pool at a home on Pamela Street.
Deputies allegedly found crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the car, and a witness said the driver fled the crash on foot.
While searching for the suspect, deputies learned a light blue Ford pickup truck with tan accents had allegedly been stolen near the crash site.
Sims was found to be the owner of the crashed car, detectives said. Sims is wanted in connection with vehicle theft, six vehicle burglaries, aggravated flight from an officer, simple criminal damage to property, and possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia. He is also a suspect in other crimes in Lafourche and Houma.
Anyone with information on Sims' whereabouts, or on other possible suspects in these crimes, is asked to contact Bayou Region Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433 or by texting "GIVEATIP" plus your message to 274637.
Information can also be submitted online at http://www.crimestoppersbr.org or by using the free TipSubmit Mobile application available in the Apple App Store and the Android Market. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
Residents of the Winder Road area are asked to check for signs of burglary of their cars and homes and to contact Detective Jeff Chamberlain at 532-4320 if a crime has been committed.
Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre reminds residents that locking their vehicles, especially overnight, is one of the best ways to avoid being a burglary victim.
"These vehicle burglary strings are becoming increasingly more common, and more often than not, we are discovering the victims had not locked their vehicles," Webre said. "These criminals are looking for easy targets and usually bypass vehicles with locked doors. We hope this case, in addition to arrests made in previous similar cases, sends a strong message to those thinking of mimicking this type of behavior. Our investigators will identify you, and you will be arrested."
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or email@example.com.

Standing outside, late, in a charcoal forest
When my bladder provokes me out of the cabin, the Montana night is deep. The door closes behind me. I step down two stairs to the frozen, scoured ground. It is warm and breezy. The wind sounds like river current moving among the black stalks of tree trunks. An acrid hint of fire is in the air, as much a taste as a smell. The fire is more than a year dead, but its scent lingers.
I stand near the fence, naked but for boxers and moccasins, and savor the breeze while I pee. The moon is nearly full. Its light flickers across the rumpled foothills through the gauzy film of clouds.
Earlier in the day, we drove up Bridger Creek Road, right to the front door of this Forest Service cabin. Midwinter, but the road was clear of snow, only icy here and there. Inside the cabin, the air was stale and cold, more frigid than outdoors. We unloaded gear from the car, started a blaze in the stove, and pulled on boots for a walk up the ridge.
The snow was intermittent and thin, dry and crusted. Even where it had drifted it lay only a few inches deep. The five of us fanned out and worked up the slope, occasionally using faint game trails or old four-wheel tracks left from the fire-fighting, but mostly feeling our way across the denuded country. The forest stood blackened and stark around us, like a thin coat of fur on the land. None of the trees had survived the Derby Mountain Fire of 2006, a conflagration that consumed more than 200,000 acres of southern Montana.
In fact, this was the epicenter of the blaze. Derby Mountain raises its bulk out of the foothills only a few miles away. The swaying boughs of ponderosa needles, the dense, prickly whorl of juniper branches, the rustle of aspen leaves, all memories, old expectations of forest.
When the tip of a branch brushed across our clothing, it left a fine charcoal line. Halfway to the ridge our coats and pants were striped with black pencil marks. The soil was seared and loose, sandy, mixed with ash, sterile-looking. Even the rocks crumbled underfoot, crystallized bonds undone by the intensity of heat, erosion on fast-forward.
And yet, here and there, impossibly, a dried clump of green grass or the browned remains of a flower, hints of recovery. The blackened bark of trees had been worked at by woodpeckers, nuthatches, prying birds hungry for insects. Flakes of bark were chipped away, rows of holes drilled, and the true, nut-brown color of tree revealed beneath the husk of black. There too, stamped in the dirt and across patches of snow as I sidehilled, the tracks of deer on their way somewhere -- to water, to shelter, to food.
If there is a good thing to say about charred forests, it is that the views are revealed. Through the aisles of black the descending foothills, the distant broad swath of the Yellowstone River Valley, the sere sweep of prairie to the north, and more ridges and mountains clothed in the fur of burn. Denuded of vegetation, views in every direction, dramatic, yet skeletal.
At several points we could look back down to the cabin, our van parked out front. Around it, a thin girdle of live trees, a small island of ground and structure successfully defended against the blaze. I imagined the hot winds beating against water hoses and foam, the engulfing roar of flames, the breath-sucking heat, the people and vehicles making a stand to save a little, nondescript cabin with its woodshed and outhouse. Nearly 600 firefighters confronted the blaze, at a cost of more than $15 million. Yet, even in this thinly settled country, some 50 homes and buildings succumbed.
Higher on the ridge, clustered together on a small rocky summit, the wind clawed its way up the hill, tore at our clothes. We held our hats against it, made a quick survey, before clambering below the skyline again.
Now, shivering, I turn away from the breezy, moonlit night and return to the warmth and greater darkness of the cabin. I squeal the stove door open, throw in blackened logs already burned once, but now keeping us comfortable through the winter night. Back in my sleeping bag, warming up, I listen to my family breathe around me and to the muffled popping of wood in the stove box.
I think about the drive in to the cabin through miles of burn, a valley full of black. We passed several structures that had been consumed to their foundations. Most of the structures, however, had been saved. At every home site or ranch building, the same circle of living trees, a tight noose of survival where the fire had been beaten back, where possessions and shelter had been preserved at awesome cost and significant risk.
I thought, too, how
these islands symbolize the way it will be for some time, how, in
fact, it is a reality we already live with. Everywhere, these days,
we carve out and defend habitable oases in an ocean of destruction;
not just within the hot fury of fire, but among the gathering
detritus and lifeless zones accruing from all our insults against
nature. There we are, safe for the moment, looking out across the
panoramas brimming with our legacy.

Making Paper from Woodchips
|A general statement
|Woodchipping is a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees.
|The woodchipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of the forest called a coupe.
|A sequencedexplanation of
|Next the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken to the mill.
|why or how something occurs
|At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips.
|The woodchips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities.At this stage they are either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat.
|The pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.
|Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.
Example of Explanation Text
- A. Tsunami
The term of "tsunami" comes from the Japanese which means harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunamigk is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate boundaries.
Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective in generating tsunamis, and occur where denser oceanic plates slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of gravity to regain its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front, as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully into the coastal area.
(simplified from www.panda.org)
The sun seems to rise in the morning, crosses the sky during the day and sets at night. However the sun does not actually move around the earth. Earth's turning on its axis makes it look as if the sun is moves.
The earth makes a complete turn on its axis for 24 hours. It is called as rotation. It causes day and night. The earth also moves around the sun. It takes 365 days or a year. This process is called revolution. The revolution process causes the changes of the season
In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the earth.
The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold and frosty morning.
It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is above the horizon.
(Taken from: www.ictteachers.co.uk)
Generic Structure Analysis
General statement; stating the phenomenon whic daylight in summer is longer than in winter.
Explanation; it is the tilt of the earth that determines the amount of daylight not the distance of the earth from the sun.
Language Feature Analysis
Focusing generic participant; daylight.
Using chronological connection; then, so, but.
Using pasive voice; you would be forgiven.
Using present tense; the earth is actually closer to the sun.

Sept. 5, 2009
SAN DIEGO - It was Lily Lopez who recorded the final kill on Saturday and it was only fitting that she did.
The sophomore middle blocker set a new career-best with 15 kills - and her first-ever time reaching double figures in the category - as the UCSB women's volleyball team defeated 15th-ranked San Diego for the second straight day.
The 24-26, 25-21, 25-19, 19-25, 15-13 victory followed Friday night's 3-1 win. UCSB, which is 4-1, has earned all of its wins against teams that played in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
Lopez, though, had help from one of her young teammates. Freshman Leah Sully served two of her three service aces in a critical point of the fifth game, helping turn a three-point deficit into UCSB's second straight win.
Rebecca Saraceno led the Gauchos with 16 kills, but hit just .170 a day after hitting .676. Lopez, meanwhile, accumulated her kills in 25 swings and finished with a .360 hitting percentage. As a team UCSB hit .216 a day after setting a school record with a .495 clip.
Either way, the Gauchos will surely take the sweep, especially because it came at the hands of the No. 15 Toreros, so UCSB should receive some votes in the forthcoming AVCA poll.
Two other Gauchos also finished with double-digit kills. Stacey Schmidt racked up 10 kills for the second straight match and Sully had 13 to go along with her three service aces and 14 digs for her first double-double. Setter Dana Vargas passed out 54 assists.
UCSB led 5-3 in set five, but USD quickly tied the score and the two teams traded points until the Toreros took a commanding 13-10 lead on one of Ashton Bosch's 12 kills.
However Saraceno, the lone Gaucho senior to play in the match, recorded a kill, setting up Sully's two consecutive aces. That was enough to put away the Toreros as Saraceno notched another kill before Lopez ended the match.
Lopez tallied five kills in the first and third sets en route to her career mark.
Chelsey Lowe led UCSB with 15 digs and freshman Olivia Ruff had 12. Saraceno and Kasey Kipp led the way at the net, each tallying four block assists.
UCSB officially opens its home schedule on Wednesday, Sept. 16 when they face Santa Clara at The Thunderdome.

Inventions exist today that would have boggled the mind just a generation ago. I play Scrabble daily with people all over the country on a smartphone that I carry in my pocket. This device is remarkably versatile and powerful. Why, just yesterday it edited a note I was writing so that a particularly objectionable word choice was corrected to the much more acceptable "duchess," despite the fact that the two words had only the second and third letters in common.
Even with magical gizmos becoming ubiquitous, a few really useful inventions have yet to be realized. Forget flying cars and the carnage they would wreak. I'm talking about stuff we really need. For example, the sequentially ripening banana bunch.
When you buy a bunch of bananas, why must they all ripen to perfection on the same day? One should be ready on Monday, the next one on Tuesday, and so on. This idea is not beyond the bounds of scientific ingenuity. Agricultural scientists could breed bananas with varying peel thicknesses so that each banana would ripen at a different rate. Pharmaceutical scientists faced with a similar challenge came up with time-release cold medications, proving that it can be done!
Another solution would have the benefit of employing the millions of discarded vinyl record turntables, victims of the development of devices such as the one in my pocket, that lie unused in shag-carpeted rec rooms around America. Banana bunches could be set on the turntables and exposed to a nozzle issuing a small, constant stream of the gas ethylene, which promotes ripening. A robotic arm would change the turntable speed from 33 revolutions per minute to 45 rpm (plus the 78 and even 16 rpm speeds if the turntable is sufficiently ancient) at regular intervals to ensure different gas exposure times for different bananas. Each banana in the bunch should thus ripen at a unique rate. Simple and effective.
Fine-tuning bananas' ripening might also decrease peel friction, thus increasing their pratfall potential. Which brings to mind an idea about shoes. How often have you seen women enter a dance club dressed to the nines, wearing shoes that probably cost twice as much as the price of the rest of the items in their wardrobe combined? A few hours later the same women exit the club carrying their expensive shoes like tiny, aerated handbags. These poor young ladies have been forced into fashion extremis because the physical challenges involved in club dancing make the feet swell to enormous proportions. The solution: expandable shoes.
One aspect of foot swelling is easily accommodated by elastic bands on the sides of the shoe uppers—such elastics already grace laceless loafers favored by business travelers forced to strip to their socks at every airport security portal. But the true challenge for the dance shoe, much like that of the spiritual being seeking enlightenment, is the expansion of the sole.
The answer can be found in dining-room tables throughout this great land. A table for four becomes a table for six or eight via the insertion of leaves between the two separable halves of the table in its smallest configuration. Talented footwear engineers could design shoes that are similarly pulled apart at the base to allow for the insertion of sole leaves. A few leaf insertions, and the dancers' feet can swell and look swell, too.
Back to agronomy. It is high past time we had an easy-open coconut. Prying apart a coconut today requires an entire Sears Craftsman tool set, as noted previously in this space, in my February 2010 column called "Greenhouse Bananas"—hey, I like bananas and coconuts. Genetic engineers can surely thin the hide of the coconut so that consumers could crack it like an egg. Of course, the coconut shell-lacking could not survive the long fall from a conventional tree. So the hand-operated coconut would necessitate the concurrent development of the ultrashort palm tree. Because a breakthrough can be valuable even if it doesn't make a huge impact.

I must confess I've always known OF the De Havilland Mosquito – apart from the fact that it was constructed from almost entirely from wood. But equally, I've never known very much about what it accomplished during the war. This book is an ideal remedy for what I suspect is a common affliction for those of us who know all about Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancasters but have a knowledge gap when it comes to other Second World War aircraft types!
The Mosquito was originally conceived as a Medium Bomber, but ended up serving a number of roles with the RAF, and indeed with the USAAF as well. With its speed and high operating altitude, it served as a medium bomber, a precision strike aircraft, a pathfinder and marker, an anti-shipping strike platform, in North West Europe and in South East Asia. That it was also used by the Americans speaks volumes of its reputation.
For much of its service, only the Luftwaffe's new jets could outperform it, speed wise. It had a higher operational ceiling than most other aircraft, and indeed German flak, so could quite often avoid danger. It proved to be ideal for precision bombing, where accuracy was needed that could not be obtained by Heavy Bombers. Leonard Cheshire VC used a Mosquito to perfect precision bombing of railway yards in the run up to D-Day, and Mosquitos were also used against the Tirpitz. Perhaps the Mosquito's most famous raids were those on German Headquarters in The Hague, Aarhus and Oslo. Popular consesus might think that precision bombing came with Tomahawk cruise missiles, but the Mosquito's effectiveness came a clear 40 odd years before.
Mosquitos were also often used in daylight, and for diversionary raids at night when Bomber Command's main force was attacking elsewhere. They also famously raided Berlin night after night, just as much for the nuisance value as anything else. Hermann Goring was apparently furious that a Mosquito raid knocked out a radio station, thus putting one of his speeches off air.
At times perhaps there are more personal accounts than there are history, but the story is much better told in the words of the men who were there. With a crew of only two -a pilot and a navigator – they seem to have had to show more initiative and shoulder much more of a responsibility than other aircrew, given the highly specialised roles in which their aircraft were employed, often with a much greater degree of independence than say a Bomber crew with the main force.
This is a brilliant book my Martin Bowman. It's choc full of accounts from men who flew and navigated the Mosquito. I enjoyed reading it immensely. It's a great tribute to not only a wonderful aircraft – which deserves a more prominent place in aviation history – but also the incredibly brave men who flew it. It's such a shame that there aren't any surviving in airworthy fashion – I'm sure it would be quite a sight.

A revealing question: Why has V.S. Naipaul come to be much better known in the West than the great African writer Chinua Achebe? The two men are virtually the same age; Achebe turns 70 this year, Naipaul is two years younger. Both started off in what were still British colonies, Achebe in Nigeria, Naipaul on the West Indian island of Trinidad. Both, writing in English, achieved tremendous early success; Achebe's Things Fall Apart (1958), a compelling look at how his ancestors in Igboland responded to colonialism, went on to become the bestselling African novel of all time, with several million copies in print. Naipaul's A House for Mr. Biswas (1961), a compelling look at his ancestors, who were brought from East Asia under colonialism to work the Caribbean sugarcane, did not reach as large an audience, but its moving and subtle story, strengthened by wry, affectionate humor (which comes as a great surprise to those familiar only with the later, nasty Naipaul), makes it unquestionably a masterpiece.
In the early sixties you might have predicted similar futures for the two men: increasing popularity in the Third World and growing recognition in the First. Both of them could have become truly world figures, indispensable witnesses as their part of the planet lived through the bright promise of formal independence, followed by the terrible letdown of economic stagnation and political strife. Together they could have used the colorful new Englishes that were emerging in their areas to chronicle the huge migration from countryside to city, part of sweeping cultural changes that had been disturbing enough in the West, stretched over several generations, but that were even more dizzying in the developing world, when compressed into a few short decades.
Yet such a hopeful prediction would have been largely wrong. Chinua Achebe did live up to his promise as a witness and chronicler of his times, and he built on his reputation in Africa and elsewhere in the Third World. Today in Africa he occupies the same wide cultural space that Dickens did in nineteenth-century England; you can say "Okonkwo" from Liberia to Kenya and down to Swaziland, and people with a high school education or more will recognize the proud, fierce, tragic hero of Things Fall Apart. But in the West, Chinua Achebe is barely known outside African studies courses.
Meanwhile, Naipaul settled permanently in England, where he did not fulfill his early humane potential. Instead, he became the last Victorian traveler, arrogant and dismissive, celebrated in the West for supposedly telling hard but necessary truths about the Third World. His sloppy, unpleasant travel books have been excerpted in leading Western journals and reviewed with reverence. In his more carefully crafted fiction, his undeniable talent remains evident, but one-dimensional misanthropy has damaged his work, particularly the books set in Africa, like In a Free State (1971) and A Bend in the River (1979). In a Free State is particularly ugly; the African characters are nameless, stupid and menacing; they speak in grunts and they "stink," smelling like "rotting vegetation." Naipaul's cruelty did not prevent his lionization in London and New York, but his appeal in the Third World has remained understandably limited.
In Home and Exile, Achebe has some strong words for Naipaul, quoting a characteristically abusive passage and describing it as "downright outrageous" and "pompous rubbish." But Achebe has a much larger aim than textual analysis. He is here building on some of his earlier nonfiction work, such as the provocative essays collected in Hopes and Impediments (1989), and his introduction to a respectful book of photographs by the American Robert Lyons, Another Africa (1998).

The apartment that i had vacant this week was on the second floor and the soon to be tenant was afraid of heights. In order to temporarily solve this dilemma we had to slowly escort Lexxi upstairs. After inspecting the kitchen, living area and bathroom, she was not sold on the apartment but when she walked in the large bedroom and we offered a discount, Lexxi changed her tune. Lexxi wanted the apartment for free, so she grabbed Renato and went to work on his cock.

MAC Humid is an eyeshadow that looks like a jewel toned green in the pan, but translates like a mossy/military green on the eyes. The warmness of the green makes this color look wonderful with a warm toned dark brown in the crease, complimenting my brown eyes. It's a beautiful green eyeshadow (with some flaws) that look great on the lid and in the crease as well. It applies smoothly on the lid and blends well with other eyeshadows. As most frost finish MAC eyeshadows has is has a little bit of shimmer, but Humid is minimally shiny; sometimes it can almost appear matte on my eyes. Humid is quite buildable and versatile, allowing me to obtain a variety of looks. With a fluffy brush and/or light application, it applies very sheer. With a stiff brush I can build the color to a darker green, but never to full opacity. I only can get it as green as in the pan if I apply it over a darker base (green/black eye pencil smudged all over the lid or a dark matte brown). I didn't find Humid very pigmented or `intense` (as MAC states). My biggest issues with Humid is that it creases and it has some fallout even with stiffer brushes. I own other MAC Frost eyeshadows and this is the only color that has these issues. But it's the best green for me and due to it's versatility I would consider re-purchasing it (I have a minimalist approach to make-up purchases).
By Rachel 6 months ago.
totally looks better in the pan than translates to the skin. in the pan, the color looks beautiful and highly pigmented, but in reality, it is much more sheer. you can build the color on your lid, but it never gets to the pan color. i used to use this as a transition shade for a dramatic (and sometimes harsh) black smokey eye, with the purple as the smoke. because it was sheer, it blended out nicely, but again not much color pay off. over time, this color would get the dreaded 'bumps' and sometimes you will have to scrape that layer off. also, does not foil well.
By Rebecca 7 months ago.
Coppering is a lovely copper shade that pulls slightly peachy on me. Applied dry it is smooth and buildable but has a lovely foil effect when applied wet. Lasts for 6+ hours when used with an eyeshadow primer and does not crease. Has a little fallout but nothing unsolvable.
By RoseLane03 9 months ago.
I purchased five mattes (swiss chocolate, quarry, fig 1, omega, and wedge) they're all extremely stiff, hard pressed, very difficult to get any pigment, have to jam my brush in the pan to get anything to show up. I ordered straight from the MAC site so I know they were authentic. Not the same quality as MAC I purchased years ago (cork, follie, arena) Will not ever purchase again.
By Reka 1 year ago.
This is a lovely color, and I'm sure it was very good at one point, but just as a warning, the version of this on allcosmeticswholesale as of Jun 2017 isn't very good. I'm sure it's authentic, just old. It's stiff in the pan and lacking pigment.
By Seraphine 1 year ago.
What a beautiful and useful color! I avoided this one in the past because I couldn't see how this frosted color could work on me. I don't normally like using shimmery colors in my crease, but I finally broke down and bought it based on reviews. I'm so glad I did! This looks absolutely gorgeous as a crease color. It is extremely pigmented with excellent color payoff. It's frosted, but in a more subtle way. The color stayed on perfectly all day (note: I always use a primer under all eyeshadow). I own a lot of eyeshadows, and Satin Taupe is now my favorite.
By Lara 1 year ago.
I probably got a faulty product, since so many other people love theirs, however my Soft Brown develops hard pan after every use, making it a struggle to get pigmentation from it. It doesn't even matter whether I go in with synthetic or natural brushes.

I was looking for a dupe for Urban Decay Naked 3's Strange - one of my favorite light, matte shadows. Blanc Type is a perfect dupe color-wise, but comes off even more pigmented and doesn't blend out as sheerly as Strange does. If Blanc Type was a bit creamier in texture or layered a little better on top of lid colors I'd give it a five, but overall very happy to find a "better" Strange in a single ES.

Years ago, when I was first getting into MAC eyeshadows in a big way, I tried Cork because I knew it was a very highly regarded product. I HATED it! It looked so orange-y and dull on my cool skin and brown eyes - just did absolutely nothing for me. I bought it again last week mainly because of the lowered price of MAC's Pro-Pan shadows. I guess I've come a long way in my makeup techniques because I now understand how to use Cork so that it really works for me (subtle crease colour or for blending out darker, more intense crease colours and for giving more contour to a very basic, "no makeup" eye look. This is also good for my brows, which are dark and cool but which I sometimes want to intensify only slightly. Even though Cork is lighter and warmer than my actual brow hairs, it works really well.

All that Glitters is one of the very first eyeshadow that i bought and probably have made the most use of. Although UD Sin is also a champagne shimmer, the gold pearl in this works very well for most of my eyeshadow looks.

I was originally going to buy Woodwinked (a warm, frosty brown, with a decent amount of sparkle) but after learning that it was sold out, I was shown Patina as a comp. It's definitely not as shiny as Woodwinked, which I happen to like because it seems more suitable for everyday wear. But I've also used it as a base shade with Woodwinked for an evening party. Definitely worth every penny. xx

This is a beautiful shade and I first tried it years ago, and it was at least at that time an excellent superior quality eye shadow. That being said the color on me just wasn't the fuschia/magenta kick I was looking for. It has a ballet pink finish that muted the effect too much for me. Now from what I'm seeing on here the make up for ever Orchid looks to be the same as my beloved UD fishnet but without the chrome. I can't wait to try that!
By Mariella 4 years ago.
One of my 2 or 3 favourite hightlight shades from MAC. Mine actually looks less peachy than in the photo - more yellow/beige. Even though it's a frost, it really isn't all that frosty or garish and it's a super colour for the inner corner of the eye because it really brights a lot of light and brightness to that area.


text: Texas Public Health Association (TPHA) presented the James E. Peavy Memorial Award to Victoria Yeatts, MSN, RN, at their annual education conference in San Antonio, Texas, on March 21, 2013. Ms. Yeatts is Deputy Director of Health for the City of Garland. The award is presented annually to the public health worker in Texas who has made significant contributions to the advancement of public health knowledge or practice or who has demonstrated a genuine concern for the health needs of society. It is TPHA's highest accolade for outstanding health professionals and serves as a living memorial to James E. Peavy, M.D., who served as Texas Commissioner of Health from 1959 until his retirement in 1975. As administrator of Garland's public health clinic for the past sixteen years, Ms. Yeatts has established essential community partnerships, resulting in increased immunization rates and improved health for the children of her city and surrounding areas. By collaborating with the local school district, her back-to-school immunization clinics have provided required and recommended vaccinations to not only local students, but also their families, teachers, and school administrators and staff. In addition to providing immunizations in her community, Ms. Yeatts and her staff of registered nurses provide well-child exams, communicable disease surveillance and prophylaxis, Perinatal Hepatitis B case management/monitoring, population assessments, tuberculosis screening, and community health education. Under Ms. Yeatts' leadership, the staff oversees the Texas Vaccines for Children program in the area and provides international travel vaccines for area residents. By recently becoming a private insurance provider, Ms. Yeatts' clinic makes preventive health services available to the entire community, whether insured or uninsured. Not only does being an insurance provider help meet the needs of the community, but it also enables the clinic to be a public health "safety net" for the neediest citizens in the area by providing funds to expand services. Ms. Yeatts also serves on the Texas Department of State Health Services Public Health Funding and Policy Committee. The nine-member committee was created by SB 969 to make recommendations related to funding, as well as more general public health policy issues. Ms. Yeatts hopes that by serving on this committee she will leave a legacy of efficient and affordable basic health services to the citizens of Texas.

MILF Hunter Video Clip of Valerie Rose from Valeries Zone
This MILF Valerie Rose wanted some provocative time away from her hubby. The fellows rushed to scoop her, and she had on absolutely no panties or bra. They got back in the residence, and she got into the pool and could not keep back. She consumed cock and had taken a wang deep in to her snatch. Ms. Valerie seemed to be liking it simply because she hadn't been fucked this way in ages.

Networks to air Hurricane Sandy relief efforts
Broadcast and cable networks are putting their weight behind relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
NBC Universal and its various sister networks, including Bravo, MSNBC, E!, Style, SyFy and USA, simultaneously will air a one-hour telethon Friday at 7 p.m. locally. "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together" will be hosted by "Today's" Matt Lauer with performances by Christina Aguilera, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Sting. Jimmy Fallon and NBC News' Brian Williams will also appear. In 2005, a similar NBC telethon raised $50 million after Hurricane Katrina.
Disney/ABC will hold "A Day of Giving," from "Good Morning America" through Jimmy Kimmel in late night, on Monday. The company's syndicated properties, such as "Katie" and "The View," will also focus on the effort, urging donations to the American Red Cross. That on-air appeal is in addition to a $2 million donation by the company for Hurricane Sandy relief and rebuilding.
News Corp., owner of Fox, and Viacom (MTV, BET and Paramount), each have already pledged $1 million to hurricane relief efforts.

Thank you so much for that warm introduction, Nutzie. Let's hear it for ARNutz! Tip your waiters and waitresses. Oh, and hi, campers! Lets get right into it.
With this Episode 8 being Hour 2 of the show, we dont start with a recrap from Phil (you can get a perfectly fine one from Nutzie, anyway). Instead, we launch right into the start from the Fort McDowell HaveSomePie (only if you have a) Reservation. Its 60,000 acres of pristine Western and Native American beauty. But, since this is TAR Family Edition, well be damned if were gonna see any of it! On to the more commercial crap!
We see a brief flashback to the Bransens arrival at the mat, looking like theyre dressed more for March of the Penguins than an Arizona summer. Since it was a non-elim, theyll start last and get no money, plus they were stripped of all their money and non-worn possessions. Stripping is no surprise to Lauren, anyway, after her mooning of the Linzes in Leg 4. At least the Bransens had the sense not to put all their undergarments on their exterior. My brain needs enough scrubbing from those images!
First up are last legs winners, Sharon and the Banshees. They will funnel their strengths and weaknesses into a solid unit. Are they planning to stop up a sewage line somewhere?
The Linzes, Team Rush Week, prepare to depart. They point out that little mistakes happen and tides turn. Please file that away for future reference.
Next to go are the Paolos, Team Abondanza. Or is that Tony Danza? (Apropos of nothing, my first girlfriend, who was Italian, told me there is no such word in Italian as abondanza.) Mama CelesteMarion says the main thing is to stay in the game. Hmmm. This means something.
And last, and for the moment least, are Prostate Exam and His Band of Estrogen. They hope to make some quick money, maybe at the nearby casino. Of course, there are three young and fairly attractive girls, so if they each managed to get into Nevada . . . Ahem. This is a Family Show, which means we must Dull Down.
The Teams discover they have to set out for Fighter Combat International, and strangely enough, its not at the Paolos house. Its at Williams Gateway Airport in Jose Mesa. Methinks were heading to a bunch point as big as the naners that Tony Paolo was lugging around in Central America.
In what has become a recurring theme, the Banshees take only a couple miles to start arguing about which way to go. They appear to be on Highway 60 east of Phoenix (that or Loop 202). 60 is called the Superstition Freeway, so named for Stevie Wonders numerous commutes on it. Then again, he probably would have a better sense of direction than the Schroeders!
Lost, Rush Week winds up with one of Arizonas finest behind them after they tried to stop and ask someone else for directions. Fortunately, they watched the TAR 6 episode when Jonathan talked himself out of a ticket in Hungary. Either the Linzes likewise used Jedi mind tricks to get the officer to give them directions to the airport, or he noticed that none of them had used deodorant in a couple weeks and wanted to get them the hell out of there. Surprisingly, he doesnt notice their statement that were racing other cars to get there. He lets them go because in his last collective bargaining agreement, he was stripped of his power to detain an SUV full of DAWs.
The Linzes gaffe gives Linda Faye and Her Flock the chance to arrive first at Williams Gateway Airport, which was founded by a way-cool pinball and video game manufacturer and a slowly bankrupting computer company. They find a number board and grab number one. Rachel probably last wore that black top when she and a boy were reading the Song of Songs together. It wasnt cut in the middle before then!
As the Linzes arrive, the Weavers decide to be encouraging:
We will work with the Linzes, we will work hand in hand We will work with the Linzes, we will work hand in handAnd when they ask Wheres the number board? well say Talk to the handAnd theyll know we are Christians by our love, by our loveYes, theyll know we are Christians by our love.
Which they do. And when the Linzes ask how the Weavers knew where the board was, they reply, Were smart. What, no attribution to the big G-Meister?

Nathan Baron admits that strange things happen to him, but having a beaver slink away with his deer hunting rifle may top the list of "you won't believe this" situations he's encountered.
John Holyoke in the Bangor Daily News has the crazy tale of the Maine hunter who was enjoying nature when nature called. Hey, that happens. When nature calls, you gotta answer.
But what happened next to Baron is flat-out crazy.
He propped his rifle against a tree and zipped home, just across the road, to take care of business. When he got back, Baron discovered his rifle was gone. He began looking around and then stood on his hunting chair for a better view.
"There was a stream that was running about 100 feet away from me. I look, and there's a beaver hauling that gun into the water," he said.
Crazy beaver! Read the rest of the story here in the Bangor Daily News.

Disagree, this was quite awful actually. The first was so good, so scary and unexpected. I don't know what went wrong here, but man did it suck. Needlessly complicated and just downright boring. I don't see who could enjoy this nonsense.

I enjoyed the movie enough, but that's some awful artwork.

I saw the first movie 2 months ago on FEARnet and thought "Meh". So, my expectations of this are a little low.
djblack1313 Member Join Date: April 2006 Location: United States Posts: 529
i very much liked the first half (or just over that) of the first movie but once it gets to "the further"(?) it became very cheesy and lousy. then the last 3 or 4 minutes it was very good again! LOL. so i definitely wasn't a fan of the cheesy I LOVE LUCY/pancake make up spirits in "the further".
i hear this sequel takes everything i didn't like about the first movie and quadruples it. lol. i'll check it out but i'm not expecting much at all. i did enjoy THE CONJURING though.

Hello to all networking gurus. I have a problem in establishing a valid TCP connection during 3-way handshaking using HPING. As all of you know, to make a valid TCP connection, a 3-way handshaking is needed to be set up.
My case is, I need to send a customized TCP message (with data as a text string) to a piece of hardware that I'm testing. This hardware is full functional, and at least it was tested by a Mac machine and shows no problem, but now I am using Windows O/S and got a bit problem. FYI, I am running WinXP SP1 without any other patches, so I have access to raw sockets using HPING.
When I first send my TCP message with data to the hardware (command line is -- hping <dest IP> -p <dest port> -E <filename> -d <file length> -c 1), the hardware didn't reply, and I figured out it was because the message I sent has no flags up. Therefore, I know I need to establish a valid TCP connection between my PC and the hardware first, by 3-way handshaking. I expect I need to send a SYN-flagged tcp msg to the hardware, then it will reply with a SYN|ACK-flagged tcp msg, and I send another ACK-flagged tcp msg, then the TCP linkage will be set up and I can go ahead to send my TCP data msg with SYN|PSH-flagged.
OK, so I sent the SYN-flagged TCP msg w/o data to the hardware. DONE (command line is -- hping <dest IP> -p <dest port> -c 1 -S)
Hardware replied with a SYN|ACK-flagged TCP msg back to my PC, as expected. DONE
HERE, before I initiate the last step of the 3-way handshaking which is ACK-flagged, I see my PC replied with a RST-flagged msg to the hardware!! Dang... the TCP linkage could not be set up, and I could not send my data-filled tcp msg with SYN|PSH flags up..
My questions are:
1) Why my PC was sending a RST-flagged msg to the hardware after it received the SYN|ACK-flagged msg? Is it a HPING problem, or my PC problem?
2) What should I do if I want my PC stop sending RST-flagged msg to the hardware during the last step of the 3-way handshaking, and let it send a ACK-flagged msg to complete the TCP linkage?!
3) If HPING doesn't do this kind of job nicely, what program should I use to establish a valid TCP connection, and have it stay opened?

Charging Reimbursement Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription, you will receive a monthly credit for the electricity cost of recharging your Vehicle ("Recharging Credit"). All other costs and expenses related to recharging your vehicle are excluded and will not be reimbursed or credited under this Subscription. Unless terminated earlier under this Subscription, the Recharging Credit will only be earned for the first 50,000 miles on the Vehicle during the Lease ("Recharging Credit Duration").
Vehicle Information/Location Authorization. In order to be eligible for the Recharging Credit, you must enroll and maintain active service of the Hyundai Blue Link service, including agreement to the Connected Services Agreement Terms and Conditions (collectively, "Telematics Services"). The Recharging Credit will not begin to be earned until the Telematics Services is active for your Vehicle. Cancellation or termination of any portion of the Telematics Services at any time during the Recharging Credit Duration will terminate your eligibility to receive any remaining unused portion of the Recharging Credit. You also specifically consent to Lessor or its affiliates using the Blue Link service to obtain or receive information regarding the location and mileage of your vehicle at any time and for any reason. The mileage received from the Blue Link service will be used to calculate your Recharging Credit each month. Unless Lessor specifically agrees otherwise, such mileage through Blue Link will be conclusive for purposes of calculating your Recharging Credit. In the event that mileage cannot be accurately obtained through Blue Link, Lessor shall have sole discretion in selecting a substitute source for mileage, including requiring Lessee to submit documentation of the Vehicle's mileage.
Calculation of Recharging Credit. The Recharging Credit will be calculated by multiplying the following items: (i) Monthly Mileage; (ii) the Vehicle's kWh/Mile Rating; and (iii) California Cost/kWh. Monthly Mileage will be determined on a calendar month basis. The Vehicle's kWh/Mile is 28.0 divided by 124.0. The California Cost/kWh will be the then in effect California Residential "Average Price of Electricity to Ultimate Customers by End-Use Sector, by State" as published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in its Electric Power Monthly publication (including any superseding publications). In the event that such source is no longer available, the California Cost/kWh will be $0.186. The California Cost/kWh will apply even if Lessee or the Vehicle is no longer located in California. Lessee agrees that each of the above figures may not reflect Lessee's actual mileage and costs.
Payment of Recharging Credit. The Recharging Credit will be a credit applied to your Lease account with Lessor. A credit will be applied to your Lease account on a monthly basis for the prior month's earned Recharging Credit. Until the Recharging Credit is actually applied, you remain responsible for making the full monthly scheduled payment as set out in your Lease. In Lessor's sole discretion, the Recharging Credit may be paid through the issuance of funds instead of an account credit.
Termination of Recharging Credit. The Recharging Credit will terminate if your Lease is terminated for any reason. Except for terminations due to your default, you will be entitled to receive any earned but uncredited/unpaid Recharging Credits up to the time of Lease termination. Such Recharging Credits will first be applied to any amounts still owing under the Lease. If your Lease termination is due to your default, you will not be entitled to earn any Recharging Credit not yet applied to your account. The Recharging Credit will terminate if your Lease account becomes 60 or more days delinquent, even if you subsequently cure such delinquency; and in such event, any Recharging Credits earned through 59 days of delinquency will be credited to your account pursuant to this Subscription.

Hugh Grant: Leveson inquiry has shone 'disinfectant sunlight' into 'infected corners'
Hugh Grant, Tom Watson MP and president of the National Union of Journalists Donnacha Delong were among a number of speakers at a rally calling for media reform last night.
The Livestream video embedded below shows the speeches, with Hugh Grant praising the "progress made since last July".
The first two modules of Leveson inquiry has shone a lot of very disinfectant sunlight into a lot of very infected corners.
He added that he believes the public has started to realise the scandal is "not just about phone hacking but a wider corruption of police and officials and the intimidation elected politicians".
We've been living for the past 30 years in a media-controlled state.
Giving the example of police production orders calling for journalists to hand over journalists' footage, Donnacha Delong from the NUJ called for a new regulator to define journalists' rights and responsibilities.
Improved press regulation which details the rights and responsibilities of the press is potentially something we could use to defend the press against from those kinds of illegitimate requests from those in power.
