In my article Eye of the Beholder I described the latest study demonstrating that women tend to be most likely to cheat on their partners in heterosexual relationships when they're at the most fertile phase of their menstrual cycle.
In response Paul asked the question:
As you point out, these findings are consistent with the well supported notion that women (along with men) evolved more than one reproductive strategy. What puzzles me is why societies are more forgiving of the male who "cheats" than of the female who "cheats" -- a double standard that seems almost ubiquitous?
This double standard has not only been ubiquitous, it has been downright murderous in its application throughout history. However, this is not the case in every society. There is something very specific about which societies consistently demonstrate this double standard and which don't.
In many indigenous societies sexuality is considered a healthy activity and marriage is a flexible social arrangement that can be initiated or terminated by either sex. For example, among the Vanatinai people of the New Guinea Highlands, Lepowsky (1990:190) writes "sexual activity is regarded as a pleasurable activity appropriate for men and women from adolescence to old age." Divorce may be initiated by either husband or wife, and is most frequently the result of laziness on the part of the husband or because of the wife's infidelity. However, infidelity is apparently common enough that Vanatinai marriage rules make any children born to outside fathers the husband's kin.
This is mirrored among the Australian Aborigines of the Darwin Hinterland. Sansom (1978:100) found that "marriage does not stand for the containment of sexuality within the relationship. It is expected that all husbands and all wives will want lovers." However, an infidelity that becomes too serious and involves economic favors can frequently lead to bitter argument or divorce.
Yanomami Woman. In many indigenous societies women's sexuality
is not controlled based on male interest.
Even among the Yanomamo, a group regarded as the definitive example of a traditional society in which a man's dominance status correlates with his reproductive success (high ranking men have multiple wives, low ranking men are bachelors), the picture is not as clear as some would like to believe. Anthropologist John Peters contacted the Shirishana Yanomana during a period when there was a shortage of women and found there were nine polyandrous marriages (one woman with several men) and five monogamous ones (Peters & Hunt 1975).
This flexibility of monogamy and the sexual freedom among many indigenous women today was likely a condition for indigenous groups in the past. As demonstrated by the Montagnais of Northeastern Canada in the 1600s, French Jesuit Paul le Jeune reported with consternation that:
"The inconstancy of marriages and the facility with which they divorce each other, are a great obstacle to the Faith of Jesus Christ. We do not dare baptize the young people because experience teaches us that the custom of abandoning a disagreeable wife or husband has a strong hold on them" (Leacock 1981:50).
Likewise, polygamy (marriage to many partners) was another right that women and men took for granted and which the Jesuits weren't able to convince the Montagnais to abandon. Perhaps the most telling difference between the sexual standards of indigenous and Western societies came when a Montagnais man objected to le Jeune's preaching. According to le Jeune:
"I told him that it was not honorable for a woman to love any one else except her husband, and that this evil being among them, he himself was not sure that his son, who was there present, was his son. He replied, 'Thou hast no sense. You French people love only your own children; but we all love all the children of our tribe.'"
The Montagnais of Northeastern Canada demonstrated greater sexual
equality as reported by missionary Paul le Jeune in the 1600s.
In contrast to tribal societies, the rise of states and the development of religious law initiated a starkly different vision for women's sexual choices. Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism each share a fundamental concern over the punishment for a woman's sexual freedom. Whereas any "man that committeth adultery with another man's wife [both] the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death," (Leviticus 20:10) any unmarried woman who has sexual relations with an unmarried man shall be brought "to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die" (Deuteronomy 22:21).
In fact, the only sexual relationship outside of marriage that does not end in death for the woman is in the case of rape. In that event, if the woman is married, "the man only that lay with her shall die" but, if she is a virgin, "the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her" (Deuteronomy 22:25-29). The main interest in all of these cases is the paternal interests of kinship and never the interests of the woman in question.
Iranian woman symbolically protests the penalties
imposed by Islamic law for women's sexuality, a
reality common in the history of most religions.
The Bible views women as being half as valuable as men, which is directly comparable to the Qu'ran. There are also direct parallels in punishing women's sexuality. For example, there is no punishment for men in the event of rape except under the categories of "adultery or fornication." In which case "scourge ye each one of them with a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah" (Surah 24:2). However, if a married or unmarried woman is "guilty of lewdness," which Ali (2003:189) defines as adultery or fornication, "confine them to the houses until death take them or until Allah appoint for them a way [flogging for fornication and stoning for adultery]" (Surah 4:15).
The Manu Smriti, the most authoritative books of the Hindu code, or dharma, proscribes that "When a woman, proud of her relations or abilities deceives her husband with another man, then the king should ensure that she be torn apart by dogs in a place much frequented by people." (Manu VIII:371). Such punishment is necessary because "It is the nature of women to seduce men in this world; for that reason the wise are never unguarded in the company of females" (Manu II:213). The Artharva Veda dictated that if a woman was found guilty of a carnal crime her generative organs were to be cut off and she was ultimately sentenced to death (Arth IV:13).
This stark contrast between indigenous and state societies can be understood as power relationships between the sexes that change as the result of social scale. Anthropologist John Bodley (who I've had the pleasure of working with directly) wrote in his groundbreaking work The Power of Scale that:
"The size of human societies and cultures matters because larger societies will naturally have more concentrated social power. Larger societies will be less democratic than smaller societies, and they will have an unequal distribution of risks and rewards" (Bodley 2003:54).
As I touched on in an earlier post (The Evolution of Metapopulations and the Future of Humanity), the invention of agriculture and the subsequent choice by some societies to remain sedentary lead to the unequal accumulation of private goods and the need for a ruling elite to mediate property disputes. This ruling elite frequently identified themselves as an embodiment of the state itself (and often with divine authority). While smaller scale societies would manage any dispute or crime communally, state level societies defined all crimes as crimes against the state (for example, hunting wild deer on the King's land would be construed as "poaching the King's deer").
Males of most species use their larger physical size, or sexual dimorphism, to increase their reproductive success. But females generally have opposing strategies when their reproductive interests are different. Whereas indigenous societies are often more egalitarian, early state level societies codified human sexual dimorphism into law and viewed paternity rights in the same category as property rights because inheritance was of greater concern. With the power of the state to punish any violation of the law, women were relegated to the status of chattel and their sexual choices were constrained by the threat of capital punishment. It has only been with the rise of secular democracies, and the reduction of religious authority, that women have begun to reclaim their sexual freedom. The last thirty years has seen the largest rise in women's economic and social power in human history (mostly confined to the West). It's not coincidental that women have also seen the greatest freedom from sexual coercion and control during this same period. There is a great deal of work that needs to be done and, at the same time, there are still strong proponents in favor of moving backwards.
Which culture is more guilty of imposing sexual roles on women?
While greater female sexual equality doesn't exist in every indigenous society, it would appear that social and environmental factors are crucial. Likewise, as David Schmitt reviewed in his analysis of 48 countries, environmental influences such as the ratio of men to women are strong predictors of sexual dynamics (Schmitt 2005). As Schmitt also reported, most women prefer stable monogamous partnerships. Sexual equality means a woman's right to enter and leave relationships with the same freedom as men. So we shouldn't confuse sexual equality with promiscuity. One could make the argument that, whereas many women in the Middle East and North Africa are subject to one form of patriarchal control and denied sexual equality, women in the West are subject to another form and are made to feel like they must be sexual objects for male gratification.
So, I would argue, the double standard we witness today is actually a cultural holdover from this long tradition of patriarchy. While it may have gotten its start as the result of our evolutionary history (males being larger than females) it has been exaggerated and enforced as the result of male-dominated cultural practices. However, this condition is by no means permanent.

"We're extremely pleased that so many students are interested in the high-quality, transformational education that Hope provides," said William Vanderbilt, vice president for admissions. "The strong enrollment that the college has enjoyed is a tremendous affirmation, but at the same time we want to be certain that we don't outpace our capacity to provide the individual attention and outstanding experience that are Hope hallmarks."
The enrollment by class, with last year's class in parentheses, is: freshmen, 827 (889); sophomores, 860 (818); juniors, 758 (728); seniors, 851 (816); and special students, 92 (92). The student body consists of 1,344 men and 2,044 women from 39 states and territories and 34 foreign countries.
The largest representation is from Michigan with 2,263 students. Other states represented with 10 or more students include: Illinois, 507; Indiana, 104; Ohio, 77; Wisconsin, 52; California, 45; Minnesota, 35; Colorado, 19; Florida, 19; Texas, 18; Iowa, 15; Virginia, 14; Pennsylvania, 13; New Jersey, 11; New York, 10; and Washington, 10.

Sniffing Out Social Media Disinformation
The raw, edgy nature of social media is part of its charm, and its value. As Cisco's global threat analyst, I often look at my Twitter feed in the morning before I check mainstream media sites because it provides quick, frequently expert, irreverent analysis on breaking news. In fact, my own concerns about press freedom and objectivity stemming from concentration of mass media ownership arguably strengthens the case for a lively, unregulated social media space. It can serve as a fact checker and whistle blower on traditional news sources. In societies where news outlets may be closely monitored or controlled by the state, social media may provide the only online outlet for uncensored public opinion.
Unfortunately, social media is frequently inaccurate or misleading, with the potential for real-world damage. It isn't hard to imagine a scenario in which a terrorist coordinates on-the-ground attacks with misleading tweets with the intent to clog roads or phone lines, or send people into the path of danger. Several recent incidents underscore the ease with which social media rumors can compound the impact of real events.
- In Mexico, professional journalists are intimidated away from covering the struggle against corruption and drug trafficking, even as Twitter and Facebook are being used by crime groups to disseminate false information, diverting police away from drug runner activity, or creating a distorted sense of the group's influence.
- India's government blocked hundreds of web sites and curbed texts this summer in an attempt to restore calm among Hindu Indians from Assam after someone (possibly a rival group in Pakistan, according to the Indian government) posted threatening photographs and text messages. The rumors prompted thousands of panicked migrant workers to flood train and bus stations.
Many analysts have also begun to raise red flags about the risks of market manipulation through social media disinformation. Services are appearing, such as Help A Reporter Out (HARO), which allow citizen experts to write-in with information for stories being researched by journalists. This service appears to be ripe for manipulation, although I trust that reporters who use the service take steps to vet the write-in volunteers.
Just in the past several weeks, there have been incidents in which market prices appear to have been influenced by social media rumors:
- A hijacked Reuters Twitter feed reported that the Free Syrian Army had collapsed in Aleppo. A few days later, a Twitter feed was compromised, and a purported top Russian diplomat tweeted that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad was dead. Before these accounts could be discredited, oil prices on international markets spiked.
- Public worries over a "worldwide bacon shortage" were sparked by a National Pig Association of the United Kingdom press release. Combined with press coverage over the impact on corn prices of a US drought, the comments caused a flurry of articles on a perceived shortage of bacon. The story itself wasn't inaccurate, but social and mass media coverage made it seem worse than it really was. I have to say, I impulsively made myself a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwich for dinner the day I saw that article.
Ultimately, the un-vetted and conveniently anonymous "spin" a story receives when posted to social media can add to its emotional octane, sometimes with tragic results. This was dramatically illustrated by the outpouring of rage in the Middle East following the posting of an anti-Islamic film on YouTube last month. There are many other examples:
- In Bangladesh, Buddhist temples were razed in reaction to a photo of a burned Quran posted on Facebook. Many believed that the photo had been posted by a local Buddhist monk, and angry locals acted before the facts were checked.
As security professionals, our colleagues look to us to separate the wheat from the chaff, particularly if quick action is needed to defend networks from a new virus, alert employees to a bogus phishing attempt, re-route a shipment, or advise employees regarding safety. We want to be on top of the latest stories, but the last thing we want to do is alert our managers to a breaking story that turns out to be a hoax.
The first safeguard against falling for fabricated stories is to confirm the story across multiple sources. In the old days, journalists did this job for us, so that by the time we read or heard the news, it was vetted. These days, journalists are getting their stories from the same Twitter feeds that we are, and if several of us fall for the same story, we can easily mistake re-tweets for triangulation.
Some hoaxes and popular rumors can be vetted against Snopes, a website which debunks thousands of misinformation campaigns. Most of us get practice at this when fielding emails with "!!!TITLES IN ALL CAPS!!!" from Aunt Bertha or with worrying news about a friend who needs an emergency wire transfer to a bank in Belarus. Indeed, with any luck our kids will be better at this than we are, coming up with new technologies to identify hoaxes or even well-meaning rumors. In the meantime, we can fall back on another time-tested method: Refer to the source when repeating a story you have heard. "The sky is falling, according to Chicken Little." You may even want to check on the source, to see who funds it, and consider ulterior motives and political agendas.
For fast-breaking news requiring quick action, your best bet may be to use the old-fashioned "sniff test." If the story seems far-fetched, think twice before repeating or citing it. If Iran's semi-official FARS News Agency had used the sniff test, they might have saved themselves international humiliation when they cited an Onion article that found rural white voters preferred Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to US President Obama.
So, when your Twitter feed suggests that a massive meteor is on an immediate collision course for earth, stop, take a breath, and use your nose. It may be true, but you should probably wait and triangulate. It may be better to be a little bit late in reacting, than to be wrong and embarrassed, or worse.

Jani Lane, the lead singer for Warrant, a popular 1980s metal band that often had hits with songs he penned, including "Cherry Pie" and "Heaven," has died. He was 47.
Lane was found dead Thursday evening in a Woodland Hills hotel, said Sara Faden, a Los Angeles police officer. The cause of death was not known and an autopsy was scheduled.
With his long blond hair and tight leather outfits, Lane embodied the excess of 1980s "hair metal" rock bands. After he joined Warrant in 1984, the band rose on the Sunset Strip circuit alongside kindred spirit Guns N' Roses and eventually signed with Columbia Records.
Photos: Notable deaths of 2011: Music
In 1989, Warrant released its debut album, "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich," which contained the hit singles "Down Boys," "Sometimes She Cries" and "Heaven."
A year later, the group's sophomore album, "Cherry Pie," was an even bigger success. To round out the mix of songs, Lane wrote the "Cherry Pie" track in 45 minutes, according to the Encyclopedia of Popular Music.
"We jumped on the train in the mid-'80s, and that train was hair metal," Lane told the Albany, N.Y., Times Union in 2001. "I had long blond hair and I sang high, so the powers that be said, 'Hair metal. Let's let Suzie over there put on some makeup for you, a little Aqua Net, and you're on your way."
The band's success extended into the early 1990s.
Lane first parted ways with Warrant in 1993; grunge had replaced metal on the rock charts, and the hits had stopped coming. After that, he had an on-and-off relationship with the group.
Born John Kennedy Oswald on Feb. 1, 1964, in Akron, Ohio, he was the youngest of five children.
After high school, Lane moved to Florida and formed the band Plain Jane, which later became a staple on the L.A. glam-rock circuit. He and band mate Steven Sweet were eventually invited to join Warrant.
Lane had appeared in several television projects, including VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2005.
Last year, he stood in for vocalist Jack Russell on rock band Great White's 25th anniversary tour.
Shortly after releasing a solo effort, "Back Down to One" in 2003, Lane was admitted to a rehab center for alcohol- and drug-related exhaustion. He had struggled with addiction for much of his adult life.
His survivors include two daughters from two previous marriages.

Mirror Mirror, located on 68-78 76th St. in Middle Village, is a cozy yet stylish salon providing everything from updos to highlights.
Susan Sheane, owner and main stylist of Mirror Mirror, has been in the beauty industry for almost two decades. Her eccentric style, a headful of short blond hair with pink highlights, has a friendly demeanor and its her goal to provide a comfortable atmosphere for her customers.
"What's really special about us is our ability to bring our clients in, almost like family," Sheane said. "I have clients that I have been doing since their eighth grade prom, and now they are getting married or graduating from college."
Sheane says she treats each of her customers with care and precision and makes sure that their hair will look good both in the salon and when they return home.
"My thing is that I don't like to compromise to the integrity of someone's hair," Sheane said.
Sheane's journey in the beauty industry has been long and adventurous.
"I worked for Newsweek for eight years, then I moved to New Orleans and bartended there for a little over a year," Sheane said. "One day I woke up and said I have to go home."
After moving back to New York, Sheane attended Midway Paris Beauty School to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a professional hair stylist.
Sheane said her father never thought being a hairdresser was a real job, but it was a passion that she never let go, despite the many careers paths she followed along her way.
"I always wanted to be a hairdresser, but my father wanted me to get into art and design," she explained. "He said he'll pay for college but not for beauty school, so
I spited him and went and got a job."
It's been almost two decades since she followed her heart and turned from a jack-of-all-trades into a professional hair stylist.
"I have customers from upstate, Pennsylvania and a lot from Brooklyn," she said.
Sheane added that she has made it her goal to cater to her customers.
"We are just really friendly and down to earth," she said. "Once people come here, they don't want to leave."

This is very helpful because I really was unsure. I also recently read an article stating that it isn't always necessary to spend the money on some organics depending texture and skin. Great post.

Useful to know the distinctions.
While I certainly appreciate that in many cases the organic label indicates a product with fewer preservatives and unwanted fillers I hope that people realize that often the components of an organic and non-organic product are indistinguishable...just because it was synthesized doesn't mean it is inherently bad.

That is the biggest problem with Organic - you cannot be completely sure. Thanks for the advice though - good ways to double check.

i'd never really stopped to think about what went into organic certification, and it cracks me up that they use the term "organic" to mean what they use if for, since from a biology standpoint, it just means carbon based!
but thank you so much for helping to clarify what i should be looking for when trying to be less chemically assaulted!

excellent post - I understand organic labelling much better now, thank you!

The way has been cleared for Toyota to compete in the majority of this year's new FIA World Endurance Championship, after the FIA this week ratified new rules that say only one rather than two cars will score points in the LMP1 manufacturers' championship—and only the best six results from the season's eight races will count toward the championship.
The points-scoring system is part of a compromise necessary to persuade Toyota to register for the championship and expand its participation.
The new arrangement was hashed out in the wake of Peugeot's decision not to enter the WEC, which left the series promoter, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, facing a shortfall of manufacturer entries in LMP1. The rules state that it can only award the world title if there are two manufacturers registered for the full championship.
"The changes were requested following the withdrawal of Peugeot from the FIA WEC last month and were agreed by all parties," series boss Gerard Neveu said. "[The rules] will allow Toyota to fight with Audi for the inaugural WEC manufacturer's title."
Toyota had planned to field its new TS030 hybrid in two or three races in addition to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will now contest a minimum of six rounds.
However, Toyota will miss the opening WEC round, the 12 Hours of Sebring in Florida next month, before fielding a single-car entry at the Spa-Francorchamps race in May. It will enter two cars at Le Mans and is expected to run just one car at the remaining events it contests, with the exception of its home event at Fuji in Japan.

Interesting article with interesting quote:
"County Mayor Brock Hill said, 'We are basically operating it as a freedom of speech venue. We don't deny the constitutional rights of anyone, but we certainly don't endorse all the displays. I feel the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an effort on the part of non-Christians to try and minimize Christianity and the images that have been placed there. I'll go as far as to say that I think it's an attempt to minimize and ridicule the good intentions of Christians in Cumberland County, but I don't deny their right.' "
With all due respect Mayor Hill- the Flying Spaghetti Monster sculpture is not an attempt to ridicule any religion. It should not be used as an opportunity to play the values of one religion off another. And I think if you read the comments on this blog, it is clear that many many people in our county understand that symbol and agree. Rather, the Spaghetti Monster is intended to create discourse on the role of religion on public property.
I believe strongly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Our Bill of Rights makes us one of the most wonderful nations in the world in which to live. And one of the principles for which our Bill of Rights stands is not placing one religion above another.
I personally do not believe that the courthouse lawn is the place for religious symbols- but if we as a county decide that it is, we have a responsibility to make sure that those who wish to express their diverse beliefs have that opportunity. If we choose to truly make the courthouse an open forum, let us all bring something to the table and enjoy the flavors that each of our backgrounds adds to the local culture.
Spaghetti and meatballs is meant to bring a touch of levity to a serious discourse. The statue has no intention to ridicule. It calls attention to a situation that has deeply concerned many residents over the past two years. Whether made of wood or spaghetti all religious statues are inappropriate for our courthouse lawn.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) -- Police in central Ohio plan to release details of a report into an officer-involved traffic crash last fall that killed a couple and four of their daughters.
The officer also was injured in the Oct. 18 crash in suburban Columbus. Perry Township police planned to release an extensive report and dash-cam video of the crash on Thursday morning.
The officer from the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington was responding to a reported armed robbery at a fast-food restaurant when the crash occurred at about 1:30 a.m.
Police said dash-camera video from the cruiser -- which had lights flashing and siren blaring -- shows the victims' Toyota Corolla had a red light when it reached the intersection and came to a complete stop just before the crash.

British Go Journal No. 62. July 1984. Page 28b.
Dave Andrews
Dave Andrews has some words of encouragement for the faint-hearted...
"I never play in tournaments"
How often have you heard that remark from beginners and the not-so-beginners down on the bottom rungs of your club's ladder. But I would like to suggest that such an attitude is misguided.
I well remember playing my first tournament two years ago. From the dizzy depths of 20 kyu I hacked my way through the first three rounds against equally bewildered opponents and triumphantly emerged with two wins. The world was my oyster. The Honinbo League beckoned.
But wait, by then I had played everyone of my strength and was drawn up to a 15 kyu with a three or four stone handicap. I don't remember much of what followed... .except for an enormous White group in the centre of the board which spent the entire game struggling to live. It did, and I lost, but I enjoyed the game immensely.
Next I entered the London Open at 18 kyu, and finished four days later at 17. Sixteen months on and I'm 12 kyu. Next year single figures beckon.
The point behind these figures is that I reckon I owe much of my advancement to tournament playing. At that first tournament I imagined that 15 kyu would always be beyond me. Such players were on a higher intellectual plane, superior beings. Of course I know now that was naive rubbish - it's shodans who are superhuman.
To attain that exalted grade (and the due deference and hero-worship it commands) takes study and practice. (Incidentally anyone who is stronger than shodan cannot have a proper job, as they must spend all their waking hours reading text books translated from Japanese, learning 30-stone joseki, arcane tesuji, and Machiavellian rip-offs.)
For us DFKs (double figure kyu's) study is all very well if you are really keen, and sooner or later becomes obligatory. But for practice you just can't beat tournaments. Nothing concentrates the mind more than knowing that you've paid an arm and a leg for the privilege of making pretty patterns with your stones. Good heavens, you can even find yourself reading two or three moves ahead. Occasionally.
Of course it is dispiriting to turn up at a tournament and discover a field of two dozen dan players, a clutch of first kyu acolytes, crowds of 2,3, and 4 kyu hopefuls, one 5 kyu (too honest for his own good), two 8 kyus and the 16 kyu girlfriend of the organiser. I mean, who are you to play after the first round?
But this problem will only be solved if mare DFKs come out of the closet. Remember, there is safety in numbers.
And don't imagine that you can be too weak to enter a tournament. Nothing is further from the truth. Tournament organisers greet DFKs like prodigal sons, because they are invaluable for producing a balanced draw. Finally, don't forget that prizes are awarded to players of all strengths, and the MacMahon system ensures that you play people at our about your own level.
Between you and me it is a lot easier for us DFKs to win a prize than for dan players, since they have to beat a lot of other dan players, something we DFKs know to be nearly impossible.
But what makes the whole exercise really worthwhile is that if you've got a kyu grade larger than your shoe size, you can almost guarantee coming out of the tournament a grade stronger (I did say almost). Now you realise what a lummox you've been all this time missing out on the goodies, enter a tournament and prove to yourself how fame, fortune, and maybe even shodan, can be yours.
As for suitable venues, you need look no further than the August Tournament at IVC in London (see tournament calendar) where an especially warm welcome awaits all DFKs.

Donna Mae Mims, the first female SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) national champion, died last week. Her body's being displayed today in the driver's seat of her 1979 pink Corvette, per her wishes.
Refered to as the "Pink Lady" in a non-Nixonian way, Mims was an employee of Yenko Chevrolet and started racing in the late 1950s. By 1963 she was the SCCA National Champion, 45 years before Danica Patrick was the first woman to win an Indy Race, and in 1968 she raced in the inaugaral Cannonball Run in a giant pink Cadillac limo.
She lived to be 82 and, as part of her funeral, more than 60 Corvettes are expected to be in the procession.

The problem on the Downtown Mall is not the lack of access from the north side of the Mall to the south side. It's the increasingly smaller number of parking spaces available to people who want to shop on the Downtown Mall and cannot find a place to park their cars.
The parking garages on Water Street and Market Street do not provide the number of spaces needed for a pedestrian Mall.
Some parking losses:
* the elimination of the lot next to the C & O restaurant,
* the coming elimination of the lot at Second and Water Streets to make room for a multi use building,
* the changing of the two-hour spaces around City Hall to 15-minute or 30-minute parking,
* the amount of on-street parking taken up by trucks delivering things to the Paramount Theater on Market and Third St NE
* the on-street parking around Court Square which has been given to police and sheriff's cars, and
* the three to five to seven blocks of parking taken by Hill and Wood Funeral Home for anywhere from three to eight hours of parking for funerals.
If the City Council could figure out a way to increase on-street parking around the Downtown Mall, a lot of the problems of the businesses on the Downtown Mall would be solved by the increase in customers those businesses would enjoy.
Cross traffic on the Mall is not the answer. The cross traffic at Second Street is just an accident waiting to happen. Many cars do not stop for pedestrian traffic on the Mall, and do not stop for the "No Turns on Red" signs at Market Street. Do we need a fatal accident on the Mall to prove the point?

17th Street is a heavily-used bike route in San Francisco. It's had sharrows for a while, and soon it will have real, honest-to-goodness bicycle lanes. Below are a couple snapshots of preliminary lane work on 17th Street (in the Valencia/Dolores Streets area) which show the final lane placements.
John Angelico
This 17th Street phase of the continuing SF Bike Plan, which received the final go-ahead last August after being delayed by a lawsuit filed by the Coalition for Adequate Review and Ninety-Nine Percent, is extensive. It reaches east to Kansas Street, includes a Potrero Ave spur connecting Division to 17th (see Jim Tantum's video here), and heads west to Eureka and 17th.
The specific 17th Street project details are here (PDF).

Good teams find a way to win.
Good players find the way to make the big plays.
Such was the case on both counts for the Lipscomb Bisons soccer team, a 3-2 winner in overtime Friday night over visiting Wofford Friday night at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
It was the fifth overtime game for the Bisons this season. They are 3-1-1 in overtime, 4-4-1 overall this season.
"Our motto this year is good teams find a way to win," said Lipscomb graduate assistant coach Kevin Burk. "That is something the guys have really bought into. It is something the guys said when they were coming off the field at the end of regulation.
"They were very positive coming off the field. "We have had success winning in overtime. It is good that they feel confident."
Junior forward Ben Page made the big plays when he needed them. He tied the game at 2-2 at 53:39 of the second half. He scored the winning goal in overtime on a penalty kick at 98:59.
"This is really a testament to Ben's growth," said Burk. "He is able to handle the pressure. When he scored he wasn't super excited because he expected to score the game-winner.
"He has really embraced the finishing role. He has embraced being a captain. He has been very effective."
The game was truly one that could have gone either way from the start.
Wofford opened the scoring at 9:26 when midfielder Stephen Newman scored an unassisted goal that scraped the right post as it went in.
The Bisons answered at 23:08 as midfielder Alexi Achilleos scored his first collegiate goal with an assist from T.J. Williams.
Wofford took the lead again at 2-1 on a goal by forward Brandon Lowery. Defender Chad Kite and forward Phil Beene were both credited with assists.
Danny Prichard saved four shots on the way to the victory for the Bisons. Russ Sandifer made seven stops for Wofford.
The Bisons, who lead the Atlantic Sun in shots, out shot Wofford 28-11. Seven Bisons had three shots in the game.
The Bisons also held a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Wofford slipped to 2-6-1.
The Bisons travel to Evansville Sept. 27.


text: City Council Mayor Paul W. Foster | Mayor Pro Tem Denise Davis Council Member Paul Barich | Council Member Toni Momberger | Council Member Eddie Tejeda The City of Redlands is a general law city incorporated in 1888. It is governed by the City Council/City Manager form of government. The City Council consists of five representatives chosen by district by the electorate. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore are then elected by the Council. The Mayor and Council set policy, enact legislation, and adopt the budget under which the city operates. The City Manager, appointed by the Council, is the chief administrator for the City. How are Council Members Elected? The Council consists of five members who are elected by-district in November of even-numbered years. All are non-partisan positions serving four-year terms. The five Council Members are voted into office by electors in each of the City's five Districts. Registered voters cast ballots for City Council candidates only for the District in which they reside. Following a municipal election, Council Members select one of their members as Mayor and another as Mayor Pro Tempore for two-year terms. Council Members are paid $500.00 per month for their service. Adopted in 2017, Ordinance No. 2848, amended the Redlands Municipal Code to change the City's electoral system for City Council Members from at-large to by-district elections. The City Clerk serves as the local elections official. For more information related to the approval process of Ordinance No. 2848, please see the Elections page. City Core Values 2014-2017 Strategic Plan Frequently Asked Questions When are City Council Meetings?

Should a regularly scheduled Council meeting fall on a holiday, the meeting shall be conducted the next regular business day. What City Council Member represents my area? The members of the Redlands City Council are elected "at large" and not by district or wards. What this means is that each Council member represents the entire City and not just one area or neighborhood. Adopted in 2017, Ordinance No. 2848, amended the Redlands Municipal Code to change the City's electoral system for City Council Members from at-large to by-district elections, beginning in November 2018.

City Council elections are held in November of even-numbered years and are consolidated with the Statewide General Election. The nomination period for candidates running for a City Council seat begins in mid-July and concludes in mid-August. Please contact the City Clerk at (909) 798-7531 for additional details and requirements of running for office. Running for City Council How do I get an item placed on the City Council Agenda? Only the City Council Members, City Manager, and Department Heads have the authority to place items on the City Council agenda. How do I receive copies of the Council agendas? There are three ways to receive copies of City Council agendas: Go to the Meeting Agendas & Video page Pick up a hard copy of the agenda at the City Clerks Office, 35 Cajon Street, Suite 4 Provide a supply of self-addressed, stamped envelopes to the City Clerk and we will mail a copy of the agenda (without attachments). How do I address the Council about an item on the agenda? Before the Council meeting, complete a speaker slip and return it to the City Clerk. The speaker slips are kept with the official record of the City Council meeting and are used if the City Council or staff needs to contact you at a later date. How do I express my concern for an item not on the agenda? Every City Council agenda provides time for a Public Comment period. This is your opportunity to address the Council on any subject matter that is within the jurisdiction of the City Council, and that does not appear as a regular agenda item. The City Council is not permitted (by law) to take any action on issues raised during the Public Comment period, but they may refer matters to the staff for response or official action at a future date. How can I obtain a copy of a City Ordinance? All city ordinances are contained in the Municipal Code. The Redlands Municipal Code is available online is fully indexed and searchable. Where do I register to vote? Registration forms are available at most post offices, libraries, or an on-line voter registration request form is available at the Secretary of State's web-site www.sos.ca.gov.

BEULAVILLE � You could say Carson Williams liked volleyball from the start.
BEULAVILLE � You could say Carson Williams liked volleyball from the start.
�It�s kind of crazy,� East Duplin�s junior libero said as she thought back to her first foray into the sport. �It was easy to just dive everywhere.�
And while nothing in particular prompted her to take up volleyball as a seventh-grader, East Duplin coach Elizabeth Turner is sure glad she did.
To paraphrase Turner, Williams is the total package, on and off the court.
For her play on the court this year, which included helping the Panthers (21-3) advance to the East Regional semifinals in the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs and finish second to Topsail in the East Central Conference, Williams is The Daily News player of the year in a vote of area coaches and the newspaper�s sports staff.
�Awesome,� Williams said with a broad smile. �It�s a huge accomplishment. It�s a surprise. I was not expecting this.�
Nothing likely surprises Turner about 5-foot-3 Williams, who ranks No. 2 in her class academically along with playing arguably the most important position on the court with reckless abandon and having the team�s best vertical jump at 22 inches.
�She�s got everything you need,� Turner said. �She�s got academics. She�s an outstanding athlete. She�s got all the right tricks. She�s got everything going for her. And she loves the game. She has a lot of determination and heart.�
Williams, who also plays soccer for the Panthers and was into gymnastics as a youngster, is what Turner called a �year-round� volleyball player. In the high school volleyball off-season, Williams plays for the East Carolina Junior Volleyball Club.
�It�s great,� Williams said. �Travel volleyball is different from high school volleyball, but either way I�m playing volleyball.�
Williams, who hopes to play college volleyball, said she�s always loved sports and was always told she was a good athlete, which was one reason she decided as a seventh-grader to try volleyball on for size.
A year later her first love, soccer, became her second. She�d found a new sport to love.
�After eighth grade and once I got to high school, I knew that it was my sport,� she said.
But asked why and she replied not with words but a quizzical look as she sat in Turner�s office recently.
�It�s a hard question,� she said, finally with a flash of a smile that rarely seems to leave her. �I love diving. It�s competitive. It�s a team sport. It�s mental. It�s different than a lot of other sports, just intense. You have to be watching every second. You�re never going to be bored when you�re playing volleyball. I like that aspect of it.�
While she�s played on the East Duplin varsity all three years, she moved around on the court early. As a freshman she played on the back row and came off the bench. As a sophomore, Turner started her off at libero but the Panthers needed some help on the front row hitting. While mindful of her short stature, Turner also knew Williams had hops.
�She can get up there,� Turner said, �which is a great thing for her and a bad thing for some of my tall girls. I know last year they were like what in the world are you thinking putting her on the front row. But she was actually one of my better outside hitters last year. Looking at her height, you would never think that. But she was.�
Williams liked the move up front � at least initially.
�I always liked passing, diving, digging, all that stuff, but last year we needed an outside hitter. � I thought I would love it to start with. But once I actually started playing I was like, �Oh, these blocks are bigger than me. Don�t know about this hitting thing,�� she said with a laugh. �But it was fun.�
It was back to libero this season, a position described variously as a team�s defensive specialist, best passer and, according to one definition on the Internet, �usually the smallest on the team but is also the most feistiest.�
And she�s also the one that wears a different color shirt.
When Williams tells people she plays libero, most generally have no clue what she that means. It sounds like something to do with music, maybe.
�Nobody ever knows what it is,� Williams said. �I always say it�s the person that loves to pass. Usually, it�s your best passer, and then I say they can sub in behind the line any time they want. And they were a different color.�
As East Duplin�s libero, Williams finished the season with 377 digs, 26 aces and 7 kills along with a 97.3 serve percentage in 24 games. That�s nearly 16 digs a game for Williams, who during the game seems to spend as much time sliding across the floor as upright.
She and setter Taylor McGowan were the team�s leaders this year.
�Carson I would say is the quarterback,� Turner said, adding Williams will have to do even more as a leader next year as a senior. �I know that she�ll do that.�
Off the court, Turner said, Williams is an �extremely outgoing� and vibrant teenager, which isn�t always apparent on the court, where she is extremely serious. But before matches Williams is the dance leader during warm-ups.
�Before the game when they�re about to die to dance, she�s right in the middle of everything,� Turner said. �She�s the one getting all that started. So she�s definitely not shy.�
Along with her pre-game dance routine, Williams, who plans to study physical therapy or pharmacy in college, likes to snowboard and ski when she isn�t playing volleyball and soccer or studying.
As she reflected on this past season, Williams said she and the Panthers reached some, but not all, of their goals.
�I really felt like we could be conference champs, and we tried our best at it. We didn�t succeed, but we beat a lot of teams we usually haven�t beat every year,� Williams said. �Our huge goal was getting farther in the playoffs than we did last year, and we did get to the fourth round and it was a great game.
�That was great goal, and it was a great team to be with. We just grew together the whole season and we learned how to fight through difficulties in the season.�

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Animal welfare advocates say Kansas Department of Agriculture inspectors are reluctant to give violations to pet breeders who don't meet state standards, instead providing them with notes on things that need fixing.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports more than 200 KDA inspections of licensed breeders in fiscal year 2013 recorded no violations, including in cases were the inspector wrote notes indicating a violation had existed.
Of 13 "problem dealers" in the state identified by the Humane Society of the United States, the KDA last year didn't inspect six, cited two and found no violations for the remaining five.
Michael Faurot, director of the KDA's animal facilities inspections, says the agency tries to be consistent and noted conditions cited by investigators in some of the reports sounded like violations to him.

What are some Law Schools with radical, or "heterodox," programs of study?
October 15, 2006, 03:27:48 AM »
Hello, I am searching for Law Schools with heterodox law programs.
For example, most economic grad programs today run the students through a conventional track teaching Neoclassical (or "Neoliberal") economics. But a number of schools have heterodox programs (meaning radical, non-mainstream) that study economics from a whole range of viewpoints, like Keynesianism (President Franklin Roosevelt's policies), Marxism, "Institutionalism (whatever that means) and others!
American University
Notre Dame
University of Massachusetts
University of Vermont
The full list is at:
It would be exciting to study Law from a radical perspective too!
A radical law program might talk about how corporate lobbying groups almost make our laws, or the contradiction between real democracy and democracy "as it is," where people might want things one way, but the government will still decide against their interests. Or how should a lawyer who believes in the public interest act differently than lawyers for corporate interests? Is it more important to choose a winnable case, or to take a stand on a losing, but vital issue?
There is a list of heterodox economic schools, but how about heterodox law schools?

I'm not too sure you're going to find what you're looking for. Law schools are professional schools- to prepare you for a career. Underlying theories of human nature are interesting, but not really relevant to understanding how a judge is likely to rule. A heterodox view of law isn't going to serve you too well. Of course, there may be the individual professor in a philosophy of law class that has some interesting views, but the real purpose of law schools is to train you for the profession, not to let you question too much of it.
Not to make fun of dentists, but there aren't Platonian vs Hegelian views on the causes and cures of gingivitis, either.
If you're looking for schools that may have a more leftist or rightist view on advocacy, then you might consider Pepperdine or Liberty on the right, and perhaps Peoples' College of Law for a really left wing school. I'm fairly liberal, but many of my fellow students were far to the left of me when I went to Temple, but I don't think it's considered particularly liberal.
If you're looking for alternative theories of law, I might consider a legal studies degree instead of a JD.

There is not really any "school of thought" trend in particular law schools. As reverendlex indicated, you might try the fringe law schools that have definite political and ideological leanings (think Brigham Young, Notre Dame, CUNY, etc). But even there, whell, your interests are best served through course selection once you get into law school.
Once you are *in* law school, there are usually ways of studying different kinds of approaches. After the first year, must law schools offer Critical Race Theory, Sexual Orientation and the Law, Gender and the Law, Civil Rights Law etc. It will be fairly easy to identify the political affiliations of your professors, although it will not always be reflected in their pre-professor activities (my Torts professor was a partner in a giant defense firm and was a huge fan of Rawls). You can go about choosing a mentor in the area you want to practice.
There are major differences between the way graduate programs are operated and the way the JD course of study is operated. A class on jurisprudence will expose you to competing theoretical approaches to the law, and you will see those concerns reflected in case law, to varying degrees. But law is both academic and professional. For most, it will not result in a teaching career, and fundamental theoretical debates are at best secondary.

Georgetown, Section 3. (Curriculum B). Apparently, a "heterodox" program of study CAN serve students well! I am in it right now and I love it. I think this might be what you are looking for.
The following is from
. It is a bit out of date because, as far as I know, Harvard has now adopted a similar approach for its 1L cur.
Curriculum B began about 15 years ago. In 1990, a group of Georgetown Law professors took a time off from teaching with the aid of a Department of Education grant to formulate an alternative first-year curriculum. They wanted the program to retain black-letter law elements of the standard curriculum, but at the same time take an updated approach to teaching which emphasized interdisciplinary or cross-doctrinal elements of the law, i.e., addressed "the emergence of the regulatory state," mapped the erosion of "doctrinal boundaries" (say between tort, contract, and property), and acknowledged influence of other disciplines such as economics, political science, philosophy and psychology.
The program was also supposed to be heavy on theory as opposed to case reading. Black letter law was supposed to be self-consciously critiqued as it was presented with attention paid to its historical placement within the various schools of American jurisprudential thought. At the same time, students would read primary documents that inform current legal debates (for example, a personal favorite: Robert L. Hale, Coercion and Distribution in a Supposedly Non-Coercive State, 38 Political Science Quarterly (1923), 470-478.)
Lastly, as all the courses would be radically revisited instead of merely adding a new course or two to the existing first year curriculum, the professors would make a concerted effort to coordinate their lectures so that certain topics would be taught concurrently (for example, nuisance would be examined on a certain week in multiple appropriate classes).
The program was seen as offering an alternative vision of first year legal studies. It was hoped at the time that it might act as a catalyst for other law schools. Other alternative curriculums had been tried: Columbia in the '20s, more recently Stanford and Harvard. But these failed due to a combination of academic pressure to preserve the status quo and professorial drift.
GULC's Curriculum B began as a single section (3) in the 1991-92 academic year. Initially Curriculum B was marked by intense student engagement and the formation of various student caucuses, including: The Vision of a New Curriculum Caucus, The Race and Ethnicity Caucus, The Personal Responsibility Caucus, The Gender Caucus, and, of course, the Non-Caucus Caucus. The program sparked a lot of debate and outside speakers were brought into speak on how the still-malleable curriculum might be shaped. Richard Epstein apparently told his audience of Section 3 students that they weren't actually getting a legal education and the best thing they could do would be to drop out in shame and apply elsewhere.
The school tracked Section 3 graduates for six years and found they did very well in second and third year classes, and had no trouble finding employment. After that, the Curriculum was more or less static -- some changes were made in class structure, professors left, new professors came on board, some classes became more standard, then were (or are being) re-radicalized, the program drifted, as programs do.
There's more to say about the intervening years, but it's largely about what didn't happen. Curriculum B was never exported to another section, nor was it adopted beyond Georgetown. The classes stayed the largely same, with three of them still taught by original professors. The basic class structure -- large classes, (some) Socratic method, case reading, single end-of-year issue spotter exams, lack of personalized feedback -- seem uncomfortably dated in a way that undercuts some of the basic premises of Curriculum B.
Although Curriculum B is politically stable within GULC, it's oddly treated as somewhat of a dirty little secret, to the extent that often 2Ls and 3Ls here don't have a solid understanding of just what Section 3 is or how it differs from the regular curriculum beyond, "more reading, more theory." Personally, had I known in depth what Curriculum B entailed, GULC would have been my first (not second) choice for law school.
As a fairly radical innovation in the deeply conservative world of legal education, official references to Curriculum B such as those on the GULC website are always careful to point out that we cover "the same subject matter offered in more traditional curriculums" but that we simply approach it from a "different perspective that emphasizes the sources of law in history, philosophy, and political theory, as well as the influence of other fields, including economics."
From one of our school's web pages:
"The curriculum, available to one section of full time students, requires seven courses different in emphasis from those in the A curriculum: Bargain, Exchange, and Liability; Democracy and Coercion; Government Processes; Legal Justice Seminar; Legal Practice: Writing and Analysis; Legal Process; and Property in Time. The "B" section emphasizes the sources of law in history, philosophy, political theory, and economics. It also seeks to reflect the increasingly public nature of contemporary law."
You can see this does not do a very good job of "selling" the curriculum to prospective students or potentially exciting faculty (and students) elsewhere. Nor does it sell the curriculum to the party best able to bear the cost.
Some of the classes have a clear corollary to the standard curriculums, with Legal Practice = Legal Research and Writing being perhaps the closest to a traditional class. Some are recognizable but radical; Bargain, Exchange, and Liability is more or less contracts and torts taught at the same time so as to emphasize the similarities, differences, and blurring of the two, and while Democracy and Coercion is concerned with issues of constitutional law (collectivity v. self-determinacy), it's chock full of theoretical readings and organized around Kantian/Utilitarian poles. On the other hand, Legal Justice (sort of a history of American jurisprudential theory) has no real corollary to the traditional curriculum. Neither does Government Processes, a course that's concerned with (as far as I can yet tell) how society uses various legal instruments to deal with social problems; it draws on admin law, criminal law, environmental law, statutory analysis.

Thank you everyone for your comments.
Do you know how I could search for schools with good public interest and critical legal studies programs? What do you know about the University of Pittsburgh?
Erox, what do you think about Gibbsale and Reverendlex's remark that unlike in economics, heterodox ways of interpreting the subject of law is less important in a professional sense, and that it better falls under the heading of legal studies degree instead of JD?
If that is true, then should I better spend less time critiquing mainstream views on law and more time studying how to apply the law to help society?
I myself am interested in advocacy, however, I want to study from a radical perspective.
Please comment on their remarks, because it appears that your school does have a unique approach to legal studies.

Well, because I haven't taken any traditional 1st year classes, it's hard to make a comparison. I can tell you what I know from my experience and from what I hear from the students in the traditional program...
Basically, all the section 3 profs are critical legal studies scholars....we learn all the same black-letter law, but the courses are structured so that you can discern the overarching themes in disparate areas of the law (across contracts/torts, for example) and how the mainstream legal approaches evolved over time. Also, none of the professors believe that bright-line rules are determinate, so you have to learn all the rules, the counter-rules, and be able to make arguments on either side. I think it will be helpful, but I guess it depends on what kind of work you do when you graduate. For me, the biggest benefit is that it is actually interesting...I really enjoy the work. I know I would not feel the same way if I were in a traditional curriculum.
Also, most people in the class are lefty and interested in social justice. It is a self-selecting group, so there are a lot of very interesting people with awesome pre-law school experience.
My profs said there are about a dozen schools that have alternative first year courses, but I don't know any details.
So, for me, I think the biggest benefit is that it is actually interesting and teaches you to be critical. I am going into developing world public sector reform, so the critical/comparitive perspective will be helpful for me. I don't think it can hurt in any way regardless of what you want to do, because we are learning all the same black-letter law as everyone else. The only downside is that we have an extra class and a ton more reading!

Hey Erox,
I just got into G-town law school and I'd like to know more about Curriculum B. I was a history/philosophy major in college. I once took a class called "philosophy of law" which discussed various theories behind legal systems and I really enjoyed it. Additionally, when my brother was in law school, I read his jurispudence books, explained them to him, and helped him study for his tests. For all these reasons, I think curriculum B might be a good choice for me, but I'd like to know more about it. Also, do I have to apply seperately for it, or is it my choice at this point, now that I've been accepted?

You don't have to apply separately...once you accept enrollment, they send you a form where you indicate your preference for your first year curriculum. I think most/everyone who chose it got in. You can get more information on the GULC website...if you are really torn, you can make an appointment to speak to some of the professors or deans about it when you visit for the open house weekend. Andy Cornblatt and Dean Bailin are both really cool, and I am sure either would be happy to sit down with you and discuss the pros and cons.
I have taken four of my five exams, and I can say that for most of the classes, it was definitely worth it (there are some trade-offs though). Also, the people in our section are WAY more laid back than the people in the other sections around exam time. While I see a lot of competition amongst the other students, I feel like my classmates try and help eachother out more than anything. Apparently, this is common for section 3 students. Also, every single public interest/human rights project I have worked on has a majority of section 3 people. We also have a legal justice seminar that goes through about 10 different legal theories (process theory, critical race theory, feminist legal theory, etc) which was really interesting. It has a large lecture and a small discussion section of about 30 people. The other sections definitely don't have an equivalent of that and I am not sure that any of their classes are broken up into small discussions. So that is something to think about. I think, in general, you will have a huge advantage as a philosophy major.
There were a few people who switched out of section 3 the first week, so you can change your mind if you decide it's not for you. I would highly recommend giving it a try though. And Georgetown is an awesome school....congratulations!

Thanks Erox,
That was helpful. I'm planning on attending an open house at G-town, so I'll ask more questions, but at this point my mind is 99% made up. If I got to G-town, curriculum B/Section 3 all the way!

I don't know much about heterodox programs, however, I do know a lot about heterobot 2000 programs. In case you're not familiar, it's law programs for futuristic robots. I enrolled last Fall and I must tell you that it's pretty competitive. You see, I'm one of the few non robotic students(NRS) which totally earned me a full ride and all but it's tough because these majority robotic types can memorize outlines in like one hour. A fifty page Tort outline can take a NRS like me up to three weeks, but a actual robot can word process the info lickity split. Fortunately for me, the law school allocates 20% of the law review spots for NRS's like me, therefore, I'm only competing against non robots like myself. Anyways, bepobebpobepo.

One of the other two men allegedly with Aaron Hernandez and Odin Lloyd at the time of Lloyd's death possibly is in police custody.
According to the Boston Globe, 27-year-old Carlos Ortiz is being held at the Hartford Correctional Center "in connection to the [Lloyd] case." Bail has been set for Ortiz at $1.5 million. The records in Ortiz's case have been sealed, according to Nick Underhill of MassLive.com.
According to the Hartford Courant, Ortiz has waived extradition to Massachusetts. He was due in court Wednesday on a charge of violating probation, and he has a record of convictions for larceny and criminal mischief.
Evidence summarized by prosecutor Bill McCauley at the Wednesday arraignment of Aaron Hernandez strongly suggests that someone in the car other than Hernandez and Lloyd informed police that Hernandez spoke to Lloyd of being upset with something Lloyd had said to others about Hernandez two nights earlier, and that Hernandez believed he couldn't "trust" the victim.
This implies that one or both of the other two men in the car already have cooperated with police.

A far more certain sign of spring than the weather in central Ohio is this: It's almost time for the annual show of Vaud-Villities Productions.
A far more certain sign of spring than the weather in central Ohio is this: It's almost time for the annual show of Vaud-Villities Productions.
The 71st annual spring performance of the troupe, which a spokeswoman billed as the "longest-running music and dance spectacular in the nation," will open at 7:30 p.m.Thursday, April 4.
Other show times are:
* April 5, 7:30 p.m.
* April 6, 2:30 and 8 p.m.
* April 7, 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $29 for adults, $25 for senior citizens, $18 for children age 12 and younger.
All performances are at the Northland Performing Arts Center, 4411 Tamarack Blvd.
This year's show is titled "A Night at the Toni's," and that's not a misprint. The performances are a tribute to retired artistic director Toni Auch of the Northwest Side, who stepped down after two decades with the venerable troupe that originated on the stage of the former Upper Arlington High School, now Jones Middle School.
"A dedicated cast and crew of nearly 150 central Ohio performers have come together to present a professional-quality show that rivals Broadway," spokeswoman Maggie Ellison said in announcing the spring show. "The audience will find themselves tapping their feet to the beat of 42nd Street, clapping their hands to the patriotic finale and laughing to the comedic 'awards host' in between segments."
After two decades at the helm and close to four decades of involvement, Auch announced her retirement from the show and passed the baton to a new artistic team for the 2013 production.
"Leading the team is managing director Russ Coffman, who has performed with Vaud-Villities for 14 years, assisting with the technical aspects of the show each year of his involvement," Ellison said. "Rehearsing the music and conducting the orchestra is accomplished music director Johnny Steiner. The remaining members of the artistic team are comprised of technical and set directors and designers, dance coordinators and costumers."
"There's a lot of excitement," Coffman said last week. "The show's coming along real well."
It will be meaningful for the cast and crew to bid his predecessor adieu, he added.
"Toni's been around an awful long time and touched an awful lot of lives," Coffman said. "It's going to be a very special time to perform for her one last time."
Finishing touches and polishes will be made during rehearsals leading up to opening night, Coffman said. As microphones are put in place on the stage and the lighting is prepared for the actual performances, he said, members of the cast will start getting ready to put on their moves and sing their songs before a live audience, not a theater full of empty seats.
"When you're looking at mirrors and you're just watching yourself dance and perform, it's a whole different thing than when you get out there and you can barely see the audience with the bright lights in your eyes, and you're like, 'Oh, my goodness, this is for real,' " Coffman said.
Ticket information, including group sales, is available at vvproductions.com.
