The video for No Doubt's new single, "Looking Hot," premiered online Friday — but the band was quickly forced to take it down after some viewers claimed it was offensive to Native Americans.
The clip features singer Gwen Stefani and bassist Tony Kanal both wearing Native American headdresses and other attire. Kanal rescues Stefani from two cowboys, played by guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young.
Gwen Stefani donates $1 million to relief efforts in Japan
On Saturday, No Doubt issued an apology through its official website.
"As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures," the statement reads. "Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history. Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately. The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."
While the video has been pulled from the band's official site and YouTube, some websites like Daily Motion have kept it up. Watch it here.

EFSA Task Force reports on Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) outbreakArchived
European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has issued a new report from its Task Force on the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) outbreak in Germany and France. The Task Force has now concluded that one lot of fenugreek seeds imported from Egypt and used to produce sprouts is the most likely common link between the two outbreaks. EFSA continues to advise consumers not to grow sprouts for their own consumption and not to eat sprouts or sprouted seeds unless they have been cooked thoroughly.

Bhubaneswar: The opposition Congress party Saturday demanded a public debate on the proposed Lokayukt bill that the Odisha government plans to enact in the state to tackle corruption.
The demand comes a day after Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik announced that a new Lokayukt Act would be enacted in the state in the next one month.
Former minister and senior Congress leader Niranjan Patnaik said such a Lokayukt Act had to be created within a year, as mandated by the Lokpal Act of the central government, and the state government had no choice in the matter.
"But before the bill is introduced on the floor of the assembly it should be placed in the public domain for informed debate on its provisions," he said.
"In the past, the state has had a Lokpal but his findings were ignored. There is no point in having an institution called by a new name, Lokayukt, if it is to be just as powerless and toothless as the previous Lokpal," he said.
"Therefore, there is a need for adequate public discussion on all provisions of the proposed legislation before the bill is passed in the state assembly," the Congress leader said in a letter sent to the chief minister Saturday.

MGS presents ZOFO Piano Duo
Since joining forces as a professional duo in 2009, internationally acclaimed solo pianists EVA-MARIA ZIMMERMANN and KEISUKE NAKAGOSHI - ZOFO - have electrified audiences from Carnegie Hall to Tokyo Japan with their dazzling artistry and outside-the-box thematic programming for piano-four-hands. This GRAMMY-nominated, prize-winning Steinway Artist Ensemble - one of only a handful of duos worldwide devoted exclusively to piano duets - is blazing a bold new path for four-hands groups by focusing on 20th and 21st century repertoire and by commissioning new works from noted composers each year.
ZOFO, which is shorthand for 20-finger orchestra (ZO=20 and FO=finger orchestra), also performs heart-pumping duet arrangements of famous orchestral pieces such as Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," exploring the realms in which many composers first experienced their symphonic visions. They believe that the piano duet is the most intimate form of chamber music, with two musicians playing individual parts on one instrument in a complex, often beautiful choreography of four hands.

The state of Alaska has sued current and former owners of a North Pole refinery, claiming both caused or failed to stop a chemical spill that has damaged soil and groundwater.
The lawsuit claims current owner Flint Hills Resources and former owner Williams Alaska should pay for cleaning up sulfolane in North Pole, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
The two caused or permitted the release of sulfolane, a liquid used in refining oil, leaving groundwater unfit for human use, and neither company has taken reasonable efforts to contain and clean up releases, the lawsuit said. The Department of Law in a statement Friday said the lawsuit's goal is to determine where responsibility rests for the cleanup.
"Resolution of this matter will help ensure that the contamination is properly cleaned up and advance the sale of the refinery to a new operator," the statement said.
Flint Hills last month announced plans to shut down refinery operations because of competitive disadvantages, including the high cost of energy and ongoing costs connected to contaminated soil.
Flint Hills has paid $25 million of its own money and $50 million in insurance money for response to the spill, including water deliveries to nearby property owners.
The Koch Industries Inc.-owned Flint Hills, however, said former owner Williams Alaska and the state, which owned land beneath the refinery, must also bear responsibility. Spokesman Jeff Cook repeated that statement in response to the lawsuit.
"We view this as a positive development," Cook said of the lawsuit. "We have said from the beginning that the contamination was caused when the refinery was owned and operated by Williams and the land under the refinery was owned by the state of Alaska. We consider Williams and the state of Alaska to be the responsible parties in this matter. We look forward to our day in court."
Court documents said an environmental consultant hired by Williams Alaska discovered sulfolane in refinery property in 2001. Flint Hills bought the refinery in April 2004.
In 2006, the environmental consultant delivered a report stating that sulfolane levels were increasing. Flint Hills took another two years to react, according to the lawsuit.
By 2008, sulfolane had migrated and affected the local water supply, according to the lawsuit.
Gov. Sean Parnell in the last week rejected an offer by Flint Hills to settle the matter. The company offered to pay for 10 percent of a piped water system.
The Department of Law said the parties could reach a settlement outside of court.

Planting large trees near power lines can cause years of conflict between homeowners and Utility Service providers over issues such as maintaining power supply, aesthetics, safety and tree health. For safety reasons and to minimize power supply disruptions, Utility providers are obligated to keep power lines clear of growth within 10' of the line, both below the line and side to side. When planting trees under a power line, the ultimate height at maturity should be 16' or less; trees planted near power lines should have a mature height of 25' or less. The following is an outline of a variety of options, but is by no means an exhaustive list. In selecting the option that is right for your location, be sure to consider its cultural needs in addition to its mature height, such as hardiness, sun/shade preference, water needs, soil preference and tolerances.
In addition to small deciduous trees, you can also consider small conifers, large shrubs and pendulous or weeping cultivars that do not have a strong dominant leader, as they can be staked up to the appropriate height and left to ramble. If desired, some large shrubs can be trained to resemble small trees.
One final tip, be careful of the word 'dwarf' as it can be meaningless. 'Dwarf' is applied to any cultivar that is shorter in height than the parent it was derived from; it is not a determination that assures it will remain small.
Thanks to Michael A. Dirr's, Manual of Woody Landscape Plants for technical information.
Rocky Mountain Power has a booklet titled Small Trees for Small Places, by Randall Miller. It includes input from some great Utah Tree people, including Dick Hildreth and Dr. Mike Kuhns. It was created for use in multiple states, so be careful to look at hardiness zones for your area.

As lighting is both important and decorative, so are modern lighting systems, particularly LED lighting solutions which are very compatible light sources that can be easily installed and combined with the architecture to form comfortable work or living spaces.
Modern lighting systems mainly rely on LED technology which is an excellent source of lighting as its very bright, stable, and uses very little amount of energy. It is extremely cost-effective meaning the cost of investing in LED lighting is quite small if compared with its energy and performance benefits.
Overall, LED lighting has several advantages over conventional lighting items; it significantly reduces energy costs, gives bright light, and offers an innovative variety of designs and options to make beautifully lit places.

Jason Aldean is on his way to his 23rd number one hit with "Rearview Town," but things weren't always on the up and up.
In a recent interview with Cody Alan, the country star shared that he struggled when first coming to Music City.
"My first trip to Nashville, I just remember thinking, 'I have no idea on where to go," says Jason. "Like, I'm here. I'm a singer. I want to get a record deal, and I have zero ideas on where to go, whom to talk to, what door to knock on, what door NOT to knock on. Where I should play."
To say that things were a little overwhelming would be an understatement.
"I remember going home and thinking, 'I just don't know how this is gonna happen.' So, you know, I had my band back in Georgia, and I just kept playing clubs and playing clubs, and ultimately that's how I ended up getting to Nashville. My producer, Michael Knox, saw me playing in a bar and brought me to town and I signed a songwriting deal."
Jason shared that at the time, his checking account was low, but spirits remained high, and although he couldn't recall how much money he had in his bank account, he did share "When I first moved to Nashville, I would order a pizza for dinner. I would eat like a couple of pieces, and then I would put it in the refrigerator, and I would eat it for three days. Its hardcore man when you come here, and you are trying to get everything up and running, and you know, you don't have a lot of money."
"Those are the things that make you really appreciate things a lot more when it finally does happen."
"How much is in your checking account now?" Cody asked with a tone of sentimental seriousness. Jason immediately laughed, "I actually don't know that, either."

tranquilizer, drug whose action calms the central nervous system, decreasing emotional agitation without impairing alertness. Tranquilizing drugs differ from hypnotic drugs such as barbiturates in that they do not act on the brain's cortical areas but rather on its lower portions, e.g., the hypothalamus. They have been found helpful in the treatment of tension and mental illness. Reserpine, which appeared on the market in 1952, was the first tranquilizer to be used in modern Western medicine. Other drugs used as tranquilizers include the phenothiazines, meprobamate, certain muscle relaxants and anticonvulsants, and lithium carbonate. See also psychopharmacology.

The concave edge reveals are exactly as the video represented in terms of size and scale. Trying to hold the finished product - seen from the street in who knows what weather and light - to the standard of a CGI created environment is a bit naive.
The construction of those 'simple' reveals added immense engineering and constructability factors to this building and I have no doubt they passed under several budgetary carving knives unscathed; a miracle in this age of cost-cutting.
The windows are also fairly representative of what is shown in the promo images and video. They're not at all the bait and switch we often get in designs like this. The architect's concept was realized in terms of the houses or favela in the sky idea. Period. The building should already be added to the architectural tours of the city.

World Space Week is an annual event, observed during the week of 4-10 October. The General Assembly proclaimed World Space Week, to celebrate the contributions of space science and technology to the betterment of the human condition. The dates recall the launch, on 4 October 1957, of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik I, and the entry into force, on 10 October 1967, of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies.
World Space Week is the largest annual space event in the world. It builds the workforce of tomorrow by inspiring students, demonstrates visible public support for the space program, educates the public about space activities, and fosters international cooperation into space outreach and education. Since 2007, more than 94 nations have participated in more than 2,250 events with more than 1.3 million attendees.
World Space Week 2013 is all about what many consider the Next Frontier: the planet Mars. Humanity is quickly conquering this new frontier. Mars Curiosity is the largest rover ever brought to another planet, discovering new features of the Red Planet every day. In 2018 the first people will get a chance to see the planet from up close through Dennis Tito's Inspiration mars fly-by mission, while several organizations are planning the first manned landing mission, some time in the next two decades.

A New York defense lawyer says Bernard Madoff duped his employees just like he fooled everyone else.
Attorney Andrew James Frisch gave his opening statement Thursday to a Manhattan federal court jury hearing the first criminal trial to result from the fall of Madoff's financial empire.
Frisch says his client — Daniel Bonventre — is not guilty of fraud charges. Bonventre is on trial with four other former employees of Madoff's private investment business.
Frisch says Madoff and his right-hand man kept Bonventre and others in the dark about his secret fraud for 16 years. He says his client was director of operations at the legitimate side of Madoff's business. He says he did not know Madoff was cheating thousands of investors of billions of dollars.

Its always nice to read that Im not alone. That others have the courage to come forward and talk about their inability to deal with the work world.
I have never been present to be in the work world. I was thrown away at an early age. I was traumatized into shock. Im trying to understand what happened to me.
I have a fantasy bond about what has happened to me in this life at several different time points. Under the fantasy bond of trauma is the truth. Possibly if I could experience that truth I could move forward with my life.
The work world has been beyond me as I have never been safe in any work situation. I have been a whore, nothing more. That does not sit well with someone of my traumatic background. However, I was never able to do anything about it as I was to sick mentally.
Its enough that Im still alive. Sometimes I wonder how that is possible. Yet Im still here. Why I don't know..
I am a deep thinking seeking person.. I have never had the ability to think without trauma associated with the outside world. My thinking is very limited in the outside world. That might change when Im willing to put effort into opening my mind about things.. Im scared to open my mind about things. I don't want or need to get ripped apart again...
Suicide is a real problem for me. I have to stay in the middle or I will fall of the edge...
Sometimes it seems that on all edges and the ceiling and the floor and whats in front of me is Evil. And their is no light anywhere. I get overwhelmed.
more and more the answer for me is God. A deeper trust and relationship with God... God at all moments...
I don't have allot of friends. And I don't have any family that really likes me. Ive been hated by them from the beginning..
I have talents. I wont pursue them. Im not sure why. Its the PTSD stuff and fantasy stuff and dissociation stuff that is in the way as usual. I have my work ahead of me. Right now its the simple basic stuff of getting to know myself, working with God to take one task at a time to learn the many various forms of walking again...
Is spiritual walking an expectable occupation. I don't know. For some Im simply not good enough. I should be doing more or doing better. I should have more, or acting like I praise others more.
All I can learn to do is come back to reality then learn the various forms of emotional spiritual walking again. One spiritual leg movement at a time.. That would be a miracle. Just to emotionally feel safe and practice basic functioning again. Their is a whole journey in all of that... A huge life time full of journey. However, God will not require a whole life time to practice what needs to be practiced. I will have to learn to appreciate the struggles and handicaps of the journey...
Lets not forget about judgments from others..
I am judged so severally that no one wants anything to do with me. I don't have to worry about anything more then loneliness. If I could learn to be alone with no one. Things would be a lot better. I have found that I need people around me. They are all so 2 faced that I give up in frustration and lock myself in my apartment to take a break..
I don't appear to have problems to people. I have been described by others that I am aloof, standoffish and antisocial. I wonder why. Im a dissociative person and if I am not safe I walk way, or run away. I hate dealing with 2 faced people that have nothing better to do then waist other peoples time expecting to get worshiped..
I am hated by others. Its an old hate. Not a jealous hate. Its a different deeper hatred. It has something to do with God. That I am right with God. Meaning Im on my knees to him all the time. I can do nothing right in front of God. So instead, Im on my knees to him all the time. This is the right thing that was missing. now its not missing. ITs called a relationship with God.
I am a descent person. A kind person. I care allot about people and what happens to them. I am not appreciated by very many. I pray for people. I have a horrible time getting close to them because of the dissociative disorder.
I havent given up, I just look for new paths within the mountain, that I may get to the forest as fast as possible ..

Dr. Michael Kemp: Obituary from His Family
The Gallaudet University Provost's Office has released the following obituary for Dr. Mike Kemp. People who wish to send condolences to his family will want to take note of the contact information provided at the end; condolences should please be sent directly to the family, NOT via We Can Do. I had reported on the news of Kemp's loss over the weekend. I know that he will be missed not only by the Gallaudet University community but also by the Deaf communities of Vietnam and Thailand.
December 1, 2008
Dear Campus Community:
The family of Dr. Michael Kemp, who passed away last week, has written the following obituary in celebration of Dr. Kemp's life and accomplishments:
Dr. W. Michael Kemp, 60, a professor in the Department of American Sign Language and Deaf Studies, died on November 24, 2008 in Alexandria, Virginia.
William Michael Kemp was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to William and Marie Kemp. Deaf from birth, he graduated from Lancaster Catholic High School. Mike, as he was known, received his bachelor's degree in sociology in 1971 from Gallaudet University, and his master's degree in deaf education in 1975 from William McDaniel College (formerly Western Maryland College). He earned the degree of Doctor of Education in higher education administration in 1986 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. His dissertation was titled "A Comparison of the Simultaneous Method Evaluation and the Sign Communication Proficiency Interview (SCPI)."
Dr. Kemp taught American Sign Language for 35 years, the last 31 at Gallaudet University. He served for 12 years as chair of three different academic departments before stepping down to focus on teaching and consulting. His main area of interest and expertise was training people to communicate gesturally to prepare for travel abroad.
Since 1980, he had trained sign language instructors throughout the United States and the world, in the Far East, Central and South America, the Caribbean islands, the Middle East, and Europe. He taught at the University of Puerto Rico, the University of British Columbia, Douglas College (in British Columbia), Thailand's Ratchasuda College, and Vietnam's Teacher Training Center.
For the last 10 years, Dr. Kemp worked extensively in Thailand and Vietnam with groups of deaf students in the Sign Language Teacher Training Program. He made frequent trips to serve as a visiting professor at the Cao Dang Su Pham (Teaching Training Center) in Dong Nai Province, near Ho Chi Minh City. Last month, Dr. Kemp was invited as a technical expert on information and communication access at the "Gathering Inputs and Recommendations for the Development of the National Law on Disability" conference in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Dr. Kemp received a research stipend award from the National Institute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research to attend the 18th International Congress on Education of the Deaf in 1995 in Tel Aviv, Israel. He also received the T. J. O'Rourke Memorial Award from the American Sign Language Teachers Association in 2002 in recognition of his international work, and the Teacher of the Year Award in 2008 from the Alpha Sigma Pi Fraternity.
Dr. Kemp was a member of the advisory board for the interpreter training program at Northern Virginia Community College, Annandale campus. He was a member of the National and Virginia Associations of the Deaf. He enjoyed photography, reading, traveling, and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Dr. Kemp is survived by a son, William M. Kemp, Jr., of Fairfax, Virginia; William Jr.'s mother, Dr. Vicki J. Shank, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science; his wife of 13 years, Joan Kemp; and two step-daughters, Jennifer Yost Ortiz and her husband, Anthony, and Jamie Yost, a staff interpreter with Gallaudet Interpreting Service, and her husband, Raymond Merritt, a professor in the Department of Biology; and two grandchildren, Zion and Zeke Ortiz. He is also survived by a brother, Thomas Kemp, his wife, Linda, and two nephews, Dan and Jack.
There will be two memorial services. The first will be private, for family and close friends. The second will take place in early 2009 on the Gallaudet University campus, and will be open to the community. The date for this service will be announced at a later time, as will information about memorial contributions.
Condolences may be sent to Dr. Kemp's son, Bill Kemp, at 13112 Watchwood Lane, Fairfax, VA 22315, and to his wife, Joan Kemp, P.O. Box 4228, Alexandria, VA 22303.
If there are any obituaries for Dr. Kemp that have been written by members of the Deaf communities in Vietnam or Thailand, or that are otherwise centered on his international work in developing nations, I would be interested in publishing them at We Can Do. Or, if these have already been posted elsewhere, then I would like to link to them. Please contact me by leaving a comment below with your email address in the email address field, or send me an email at ashettle[at]patriot.net (substitute the @ at sign @ for [at] to create my address).
A biography of Dr. Kemp is available at http://deafstudies.gallaudet.edu/Faculty-Staff/ASL_and_Deaf_Studies/Kemp_Mike.html.

Cereal Eats: Erewhon Supergrains Buckwheat & Hemp Is Healthy AND Tasty
Breakfastime musings about cereal.
It's been a few weeks since we last chatted cereal together and I'm happy to report on a new and delicious offering from Attune Foods. Attune has several cereal brands including Skinner's, home of the original Raisin Bran, Uncle Sam cereals and Erewhon Organic. Erewhon Supergrains: Buckwheat & Hemp stays true to its mantra of "Simple Ingredients, Simply Made". And ya know what? It's simply darn good.
To be honest, I wasn't even really aware that Erewhon existed as a player in the cereal game. (Once again I marvel at the sheer unending vastness of the cereal sphere.) Buckwheat and Hemp is about a natural as cereal gets. They cook the buckwheat groats with organic hemp seeds and organic brown rice. The mixture is then pressed into flakes and coated with organic maple and brown rice syrup. Certified organic, whole grain certified and gluten free.
I know I go on a lot about my love of sugary cereal, my fixation with marshmallows and chocolate and colors, but in all honesty, in my everyday cereal eating life I'm just looking for a healthy cereal that tastes good. The ingredient list on Buckwheat & Hemp is short and simple, with no scary colors or additives. It packs a pretty heavy calorie punch, but that is due to the high protein and empty sugars.
Healthy cereals tend to make two mistakes. Either the cereal will be completely flavorless and cardboard-y, or in an attempt to cover the afformentioned flavorlessness, the cereal will have a strange and sickening fruity-sweetness.
Buckwheat and Hemp, however, does not suffer from either of these conditions. The flakes are crunchy and hearty, with a pleasant nubbly texture from the hemp seeds. The buckwheat provides a nice toasty malt flavor, with a demure slick of sweetness. This cereal is lightly sweet, hearty and very satisfying. It's great for snacking and stands up wonderfully in milk. A cereal that I would even have for breakfast, because I somehow trust it would keep me full.
I really love this cereal. A couple of other Serious Eaters at HQ mentioned it tasted "too healthy" but I actually didn't find that to be the case. I found that it's just a good tasting cereal that happens to be very healthy. A rare breed.
I'm looking forward to exploring more offerings from the Erewhon line, specifically Cocoa Crispy Brown Rice Cereal. I know, you can take sweet cereal out of the girl but you can't take the girl....whatever.
I also need to start hitting the aisles of an honest-to-goodness natural foods store and seeing what others gems I've been missing out on. What are some of your favorite healthy and delicious cereals?

Stephen Hawking's Leap of Faith
Unnecessary Science
Stephen Hawking's Leap of Faith
Western culture has an undeniable fascination with scientists, and with good reason. Patiently using the scientific method, they have brought us many good things, from the telephone to the airplane to antibiotics. And I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the world's first scientists were Christians who were seeking to discover not whether God created, but how he created the universe. Because science is based on the premise that God created an orderly universe. And the scientific method was a Christian contribution to our civilization. But later some scientists, in their pursuit to find the Holy Grail, began to question the God hypothesis. Many today (at least the most outspoken among them) have become determined atheists, insisting that science makes the God hypothesis unnecessary.
Well for a while, Stephen Hawking, the brilliant scientist at Cambridge, was more in line with the traditional view. In his famous book, A Brief History of Time, he said, "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason-for then we should know the mind of God." Unfortunately, in his new book, The Grand Design and in a companion piece in the Wall Street Journal, Hawking now says God is unnecessary after all.
Hawking and his coauthor, American physicist Leonard Mlodinow, are seeking a so-called "theory of everything" to explain life and the universe. They first address the undeniable reality that the cosmos seems incredibly fine-tuned for life. This reality, called the Anthropic Principle, has led many thinking scientists to make room in their equations for a Creator.
But not Hawking. In The Grand Design, he takes refuge in the unproven, un-testable, and completely theoretical hypothesis that we live in one of a multitude-perhaps an infinite number-of universes, each created spontaneously, run by unplanned physical processes that in a few cases could make life possible. But is this flight of fancy called the multiverse any more scientific than the simpler and more satisfying declaration, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth"?
Of course not! It's based on an unscientific, unproven presupposition. But opting for atheism, Hawking still gives human beings-who are apparently alone in the multiverse-at least a fig leaf of dignity. He writes, "Although we are puny and insignificant on the scale of the cosmos, this makes us in a sense lords of creation."
Lords of creation? Those are stirring, but meaningless words. Actually, a godless multiverse would make us the puny inhabitants of a dead creation-a creation, mind you, without a Creator!
Whether or not there's anything to Hawking's theory-and Christians, who believe in heaven and hell, should be the very first people to acknowledge the possibility of dimensions that we cannot see-the fact remains that the great physicist has left the world of science with a breathtaking leap of faith.
Which, after all, is easier to believe-an infinite, soulless, universe-making machine, or a loving and powerful Creator who has set in motion the awesome, just-right creation we are still only beginning to explore?
Which answer you choose is, of course, ultimately a matter not of science, but of faith.

Cool Justice: Hurdles and more hurdles for public access to historic clemency hearing
Don't expect the red-carpet treatment if you assert your right to attend the Bonnie Foreshaw clemency hearing Oct. 9 at the York Correctional Institution.
The state Correction Department has dragged its feet issuing guidelines for attendance while throwing up roadblocks for media coverage that violate the Freedom of Information Act.
The Foreshaw case illustrates the way battered women are treated by Connecticut's criminal justice system. It's not a case the state would use to market itself as a desirable place with a great quality of life.
Foreshaw, now 65, was raped and infected with venereal disease as a youngster and beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed in the throat and had her teeth kicked out as an adult. This history was disregarded with depraved indifference by many lawyers, judges and prosecutors.
The state board of Pardons and Paroles - acting on what Chair Erika Tindill called "new and compelling information" - voted unanimously on June 17 to grant a clemency hearing for Foreshaw. The new information was a blistering five-page memo written by Superior Court Judge Jon Blue 24 years ago when he was a public defender.
In the memo, to then Chief of Legal Services Joette Katz, Blue excoriated fellow public defender Dennis O'Toole for "disturbing" and "shocking malpractice." The new information was revealed May 27 in The Cool Justice column published by The Register Citizen and other 21st Century Media Connecticut Group publications.
"Had it not been for the surfacing of that memo, which we had no idea about," Tindill told The Associated Press,"we would not have reconsidered her case."
Foreshaw owned a home in Bloomfield in 1986, supported three children and was working as a machinist and a shop steward at a factory in Hartford. She had survived three violently abusive marriages and carried a gun for protection.
She has served more than 27 years for what many legal experts - including Blue - believe should have been a manslaughter charge. Had she faced a manslaughter prosecution, Foreshaw would have been free years ago. Instead, Foreshaw faced a charge of first degree murder for shooting at a man she had just encountered and who was harassing her and threatening to [f--] her up on March 27, 1986. At the last moment, the man pulled a pregnant woman in front of him as a human shield. A fatal shot entered the upper left chest and traveled toward the lung of Joyce Amos, who had been trying to restrain Hector Freeman.
Foreshaw has expressed remorse for her actions numerous times, notably in a volume of redemptive memoirs, "Couldn't Keep It To Myself," edited by novelist Wally Lamb and featured on 60 Minutes.
Karen Martucci, a Correction Department spokeswoman, told me Sept. 11 she expected to distribute an advisory on protocols for the clemency hearing "next week." As of Monday afternoon, Sept. 23, no such guidelines had been issued.
Instead, Martucci revealed that the department intends to severely limit the recording of the hearing to a single video camera and a single still camera. There is no excuse for this. Why are taxpayers shelling out about $90,000 a year for Martucci to suppress public information?
The FOI law mandates that "Any recording, radio, television or photographic equipment may be so located within the meeting room as to permit the recording, broadcasting either by radio, or by television, or by both, or the photographing of the proceedings of such public agency."
This is not rocket science. There is ample time for planning to provide an adequately-sized room. To gain an exception from the FOI law, the department would have to demonstrate that cameras and other recording devices present a legitimate security threat – emphasis on legitimate as opposed to contrived.
"The Correction Department is way too secretive," said James Smith, president of the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information. "It should bend over backwards to make sure the public has access."
The department did gain a dubious exception in 1996 to prevent the normal and customary attendance by citizens who monitor their government at work. Normally, citizens can stroll into any public agency meeting without having to identify themselves or answer any questions from officials. This is central to the notion that in a democratic republic the government is accountable to the people. That seems so old-fashioned, doesn't it?
The agency got this exception after blowing off a prison reform advocate who called the warden of another jail four days before a similar hearing to ensure he would not have a problem attending the session. The warden failed to take the call and failed to call back. There are no indications he was ever held accountable.
Nevertheless, the FOI Commission ruled the Correction Department's hiding of security requirements was just fine and dandy. Those security requirements demand that citizens submit their name, phone number and date of birth in writing 24 hours in advance of a hearing so they can be subjected to criminal background checks. Upon arrival, citizens must produce a driver's license or similar photo identification. Sounds like a recipe for identity theft. Attendees will also be subject to visual and electronic search.
The unit administrator for the Niantic jail is the warden, Stephen Faucher. The address is York Correctional Institution, 201 W. Main St., Niantic, CT 06357. The phone number is 860-451-3001. Faucher's email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
"My office will be responsible for 'clearing' the media," Martucci told me in an email. Numbers at which to reach Martucci include 860-692-7781 and 860-692-7780. Her email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is a link for the Oct. 9 Foreshaw clemency hearing notice: http://tinyurl.com/mtuhqsx. The hearing is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. on Oct. 9. Attendees are advised to arrive at least 45 minutes early.

OVER a glass of wine in the lobby of Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht, it's check-in by tablet at the Netherlands hotel opened in October on the site of the former public library in the city's cultural heart.
Located in the ring of canals that was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2010, the Andaz, the boutique arm of the Hyatt, is between the waterways of Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht and next to the Jordaan district, noted for its cafes and art galleries.
Leidseplein, Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House are all nearby.
The 1970s-style structure has 15 different room types of varying sizes, each with a hand-painted washbasin in designer Marcel Wanders "One Minute Delft Blue" style, an oversize book-shaped work desk and a specially designed, comfortable reading chair.
Views are of either the observatory, garden or Prinsengracht canal. The hotel houses the largest video art collection in the world, featuring artists such as Ryan Gander, Erwin Olafand Mark Titchner. About 40 works can be viewed on televisions in guestrooms or in the public area, with nine 150-centimetre televisions screening simultaneously.
There is no charge for wi-fi, free local phone calls, non-alcoholic drinks and snacks in the minibar, including Dutch favourites Just Nuts and Lovechock chocolate.
At Bluespoon Restaurant, guests can eat farm-to-plate produce in the open kitchen or take a stool at the speakeasy-style bar, where waiters serve pre-Prohibition, Prohibition and post-Prohibition cocktails with names such as One Minute Delft Blue and Lucky Librarian. Rooms cost from €325 ($398) a night. See amsterdam.prinsengracht.andaz.com.
Miami nice
THE oceanfront Ritz-Carlton, in South Beach, Miami, one of only two recognised "art hotels" in the area, has a new look — walkways with platinum-glazed walls, hanging pendants and aqua-coloured carpets included — as a result of a $US10 million makeover.
The finer details of the revamp of its 375 rooms, including 41 suites, have been inspired by the hotel's original design by architect Morris Lapidus, who in 1953 incorporated art deco features, such as chrome spheres and curvature, at the hotel, then known as the DiLido.
Poolside services include mixology on wheels and, in true Miami style, a tanning butler dedicated to sunscreen application. Rooms cost from $US428 ($411) a night. See RitzCarlton.com/SouthBeach.
Dragon's deluxe den
BANGKOK-based Anantara resorts has made further inroads into Asia with the opening of its first resort in China, at Sanya on Hainan Island.
Set on the southernmost tip of the island, the resort's private pool villas that face the ocean have private paths to the water and a host, to sort typical holiday requests (champagne, candlelit dinner). Outside the resort, guests can tee off at the 18-hole Luhuitou Golf Club. Sanya's Phoenix International is the island's second-largest and closest airport to the resort. Rooms cost from 2070 Chinese yuan ($318.76) a night. See anantara.com.
Sydney city hub
MANTRA on Kent, Sydney, has had a $1.5 million facelift of its rooms, restaurant and lobby.
New furniture, carpets and widescreen televisions all feature in the studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments. From the hotel, Cockle Bay and King Street Wharf is 750 metres, Sydney Aquarium is one kilometre and Darling Harbour 2.5 kilometres. Rooms cost from $234 a night. See mantra.com.au.

Get federal, state and suburban county executive races here.
WOODSTOCK – The Federal Elections Commission slapped U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren's campaign with a $2,500 fine for failing to report more than $83,000 from his first election in 2010.
Under a negotiated agreement hashed out with the FEC, Hultgren for Congress must also strengthen its internal controls to prevent a repeat occurrence, and send a staffer to an FEC seminar.
An FEC audit revealed that the campaign for the Winfield Republican, first elected in 2010 to the 14th Congressional District, understated its income by $83,278 – $74,597 in contributions and $8,953 in loans.
Redistricting after the 2010 U.S. Census extended the 14th District to include all of McHenry County except for Algonquin Township. Voters elected Hultgren to a second term in 2012.
In a statement, Hultgren for Congress said it cooperated fully with the FEC and adopted its recommendations. The shortcomings identified in the FEC audit were handled through the commission's alternate dispute resolution system and not its enforcement arm.
"We are glad this matter is now closed and look forward to working with the FEC in the future to ensure compliance with its reporting requirements," the statement said.
Hultgren will face a Democratic challenger next year in Dennis Anderson, who Hultgren handily defeated in his 2012 re-election bid.
This is not the first campaign finance complaint filed against Hultgren's campaign.
A complaint during his 2010 campaign alleged that Hultgren's committee for his former state senate seat illegally made two $1,000 contributions to his federal campaign, and failed to report the second. Federal law prohibits the transfer of funds and assets from a nonfederal campaign to a federal one.
The FEC dismissed the case after Hultgren for Congress refunded the two contributions and amended its disclosure reports to reflect the accurate information, according to records.

Bristol, VA: Burgers with a Side of Country Music History at Burger Bar
Burger Bar
8 Piedmont Ave, Bristol VA 24201 (map); 276-466-6200; burgerbarbristol.com
Cooking Method: Griddled
Short Order: Come for the country music history, stay for quality burgers and fries.
Want Fries With That? The fresh, crispy sweet potato fries—recommended over regular fries—come with a brown sugar "aioli" that would be good on anything.
Price: Your Cheatin' Heart, $6.95; sweet potato fries, $2.95; milkshake, $3.95
The circumstances of Hank Williams's death are still under some debate. He was in Knoxville when he was sick—which is no surprise, he was always sick—and had to be carried, under the influence of morphine, to his car. Some people say that he was already dead. Then Hank's chauffeur, Charles Carr, began the drive to Canton, Ohio. Hank had a show there. Carr stopped at an all-night restaurant in Bristol, Virginia, around midnight.
When Carr asked Hank if he'd like anything to eat in Bristol, he says, Hank, who had been quiet up to that point, replied. "No." That was Hank's last word, if he said it. By the time Charles Carr pulled over for gas in Oak Hill, West Virginia, a few hours later, Hank Williams was definitely dead.
According to local legend, that restaurant where Hank Williams could have eaten his last meal, had he not declined it, was the Burger Bar. Now, there has been a fair amount of kick-back against the legend. Carr himself has said that he may have misremembered his meal and may not, in fact, have stopped in Bristol. One report that I found online claimed that the Burger Bar did not even exist in 1952, when Hank died (that is not true—it's been in Bristol since 1942).
I ceased all research when I heard the conviction of the line cook at the Burger Bar. "Of course it happened," he said. No need to pry too much into a good story.
The Burger Bar's role as a concluding footnote in the life of the greatest country-music songwriter of all time still brings in business, and the occasional reporter. As a stop on the Hank Williams death trail, it's become a memorial of sorts, and many of the burgers on today's menu—which has been revamped in the past few years following a closing and a subsequent takeover by upscale restaurant group Troutdale Kitchens—are named, in tribute to Hank Williams, with the titles of his songs.
The "I Can't Help It," which takes its name from the sad "I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You," is a burger with bacon and cheese, while "Your Cheatin' Heart" is heaped with "secret sauce," green chiles, sautéed mushrooms, grilled onions, and cheese.
I got "Your Cheatin' Heart" ($6.95) with pepper jack, and I shouldn't have. Not because the toppings weren't good, but because the patty was. See, I don't expect much from diner hamburgers, but it wasn't until I tried this one that I realized that it should not have been smothered with second-tier ingredients.
Since the chefs at Troutdale Kitchens took over, I learned, Burger Bar's burgers have gotten a little bit fancy. Nowadays, the patties are made from locally-sourced, grass fed beef and sprinkled with a generous amount of the house spice blend, a secret mix anchored by coarse salt and black pepper, when they're dropped onto the grill. The six-ounce burgers, made from local, grass-fed top round, come out browned outside and juicy inside and don't need anything but the toasted sesame bun.
I ate my burger with crunchy sweet potato fries ($2.95), served with a brown sugar "aioli"—made from brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mayonnaise—that struck a nice balance between creamy and sweet and was a savvy alternative to ketchup.
At the insistence of the woman behind the counter, a Miss Ashley Steele, who claims to make the best milkshakes in Bristol, I got a chocolate-raspberry shake ($3.95). The flavors of mild chocolate and fresh raspberry were awfully refreshing together later in the day, as I drove home through the hills of northeastern Tennessee. It was the best milkshake I've had in Bristol, but also the only one. That's not to damn it with faint praise—it was great—but to say that, in the name of journalistic objectivity, I will accept challengers. And another one of your milkshakes, Ashley, for the sake of comparison.

Democrats promise a budget Thursday
Rell preparing executive order to keep government running without a deal
HARTFORD -- Democratic leaders on Tuesday promised to pass a budget of some kind Thursday, whether it's their own or a long-awaited compromise with Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell.
Rell said she hopes a deal can be struck by the end of the week, but she hasn't seen additional spending cuts from the House and Senate majorities.
During an event involving dozens of preschoolers whose early learning and Head Start programs may be cut under Rell's budget proposal, Senate President Pro Tempore Donald E. Williams and Speaker of the House Christopher G. Donovan said they hope to reach a deal with Rell over the next couple of days that could give Connecticut a new budget in time for Sept. 1.
"I believe we have some additional ideas that can close the budget deficit and preserve the critical services needed by our families," said Williams, D-Brooklyn, after a rally under the south portico of the Capitol.
He said that Democrats, who rule the House 114-37 and the Senate 24-12, are revising their budget plans in light of recent negotiations with Rell.
Donovan and Williams said they will cut back on their plans to raise $1.8 billion in new revenue over the two-year $38 billion budget period.
"Its become absolutely clear that we have moved, we are flexible, we want a budget for the state of Connecticut," Williams said.
"We expect to run a budget on Thursday," Williams said. "Obviously we would be pleased to have the governor's support in advance. It's possible that we will be voting on a budget on Thursday without the governor's approval, but a budget that we would hope the governor would sign."
"We would certainly like the governor's input for what we run on Thursday," Donovan said.
Chris Cooper, Rell's Capitol spokesman, said Tuesday that Rell has not seen new budget cuts from Democrats.
"The governor continues to believe we need to get a budget in place as soon as possible," Cooper told reporters in the Capitol Press Room at about 5 p.m. --If these cuts are real that would be some progress."
He said Rell continues to prepare an executive order to keep state government functioning if there is no budget deal by the end of the month.
In the House, a group of moderate Democrats have offered a two-year budget with spending cuts above and beyond those endorsed by Donovan.
The preschoolers -- brought to the Capitol from as far away as New Britain, Middletown and Bristol -- held balloons and made a colorful backdrop for the latest in a series of public relations events by Democrats who have been trying to underscore the harm represented by Rell's proposed cuts.
Eileen Costello, school readiness coordinator for the city of Danbury, said in an interview that Rell's executive orders hurt her program. The orders have kept state government functioning when the new fiscal year started July 1.
"We received notice on August 14 that the cut was retroactive to July 1," Costello said.
She's coping with a $50,000 cut and a 600-family waiting list. For many families, if there's no child care, an adult has to stay home to care for children.
"If we can't find a place for their kids, they can't go to work," Costello said.
Catia Monaco, social service manager for the Danbury Head Start program, said in an interview that the budget stalemate in Hartford is causing uncertainty among hundreds of parents.
"We're already feeling the cuts, with lots of kids awaiting the full-day slots," said Monaco, adding that Rell's current budget cuts have closed up 11 positions for kids. "If the kids can't find slots, they may not be able to compete in school later."

Today I'm working on creating an album of photographs I took on a "canal camp" for which I volunteered a couple of weeks ago, and I'll upload it to my my web site in the next couple of days . The aim of the Waterway Recovery Group project is to help to restore the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal as it wriggles through South Wales towards Newport.
I go on these camps because they offer a great mix of the outdoors, exercise, team-building, learning, fun and industrial archaeology. I learn a lot about how the canals were constructed, and a little about who constructed them and operated them. This year,as we worked on Drapers Lock, near Cwmbran, Monmouthshire, we discovered the foundations of the lock-keeper's cottage. Since the canal has been decaying for a century or so (the last boats travelled along it over 70 years ago), not much remains of the small stone-built cottage.
But by the end of the week I'd hacked away at enough jungle to discover the cottage fireplace and chimney-base, together with a scatter of sherds of transfer-printed ceramics (see below). These appear to underline our growing understanding that even the most "humble" working people, in this case a lock-keeper, often owned and discarded quite "fine" wares. I especially like the design that includes an Oriental man (a musician?) with his long moustache. These tiny sherds give me a glimpse of the tastes of the long-gone cottage occupants, and I like to imagine these ceramics standing on a dresser bright with blue-and-white pottery as, outside, barges full of coal worked their way through the adjacent lock on their way from the mines up the valleys down to the docks at Newport.
And here I am, sitting proudly on "my" cottage!

Forsythe leads Padres' outburst on offense
San Diego puts up most runs since June 7 to back Volquez
MIAMI -- Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko sustained a setback in rehab Wednesday, but Logan Forsythe is doing his best to soften the blow.
Forsythe spearheaded a robust offensive effort Friday, finishing 3-for-4 with a go-ahead, two-run homer in San Diego's 9-2 win against Miami on Friday night in front of 18,347 fans at Marlins Park.
Edinson Volquez earned the victory, giving up only two runs on seven hits with one walk and eight strikeouts in six strong innings.
The right-hander's first quality start on the road since May 28 was bolstered by a Padres lineup that made Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco work.
After falling behind, 1-0, through one, the Padres began chipping away at Nolasco.
"We drove his pitch count up early," Padres manager Bud Black said. "After three innings, I believe he was over 60 pitches. So, he was stressed and working hard. That takes its toll on a pitcher for sure."
A Will Venable RBI single tied the game in a 27-pitch second inning for Nolasco, and Forsythe put San Diego ahead for good with a two-run shot in a third inning that required 23 pitches from Miami's right-hander.
"Luckily, I got a couple of balls up, and I didn't miss them," Forsythe said.
Forsythe and Venable paced the Padres' offense. The former reached base four times in five plate appearances, and Venable tallied a game-high three RBIs.
They were two of five San Diego batters with multi-hit performances.
"We stringed together some good at-bats," Venable said. "We put the pressure on those guys and just kept it coming with the good [at-bats] and found some holes and just a good, all-around game for us."
Five Padres posted at-bats of six or more pitches in the first three innings. Even a 1-2-3 fourth took Nolasco 18 pitches.
By the time Nolasco reached the sixth, he had thrown 96 pitches, and the Padres quickly took advantage and added insurance to their 3-2 lead.
Chase Headley led off with a single, Kyle Blanks smacked a double and both runners came home on back-to-back RBI singles by Yasmani Grandal and Venable to put San Diego up, 5-2.
The Padres chased Nolasco from the game at 110 pitches with no outs in the sixth. His five-plus frames marked his shortest outing since May 14.
"It was just a struggle today," Nolasco said. "I thought I was going to be able to turn the corner there. They just kind of got me. I couldn't put guys away. I just kind of buried the team right there."
Venable added: "We just beat him and took advantage at the end and knocked him out of there."
San Diego put a runner on base against Nolasco in every inning but the fourth.
"He has a good breaking ball," Black said. "He's got a good running fastball. The mistakes that he did make, we did some damage."
Even when Nolasco left the game, the Padres' lineup kept working.
San Diego plated three more runs in the seventh and the eighth, capping their highest-scoring game since a 10-9 loss to the Rockies on June 7.
"We had some good at-bats," Black said.
While the Padres did the most damage on the scoreboard, the Marlins scored the game's first run.
Logan Morrison followed a two-out single by Giancarlo Stanton in the first inning with a run-scoring triple to right-center.
Two innings later, with Miami trailing, 3-1, Stanton again provided an offensive spark. Placido Polanco drew the lone walk by Volquez and scored on a double by Stanton to right-center.
Volquez allowed a baserunner in every inning he pitched, but the right-hander stood strong against a Marlins lineup that stranded nine men on base.
"They got their hits, but he was able to slow them down," Black said. "When they did stress him a little bit with base runners, he made pitches."
Black was happy that Volquez kept walks to a minimum Friday after issuing seven free passes in his most recent outing -- a 6-1 loss to the Dodgers on June 22.
"He was repeating his delivery." Black said. "The only time I really thought that he came out of his delivery was when he tried to throw a fastball away to Polanco and threw it in the dirt. But after that, I thought a repeatable delivery was the key to that."
The Padres' victory Friday night helps them start their 10-game road trip on a high note. This marks their longest stretch away this season.
"It's huge, especially with a 10-day road trip," Forsythe said. "When you get that first one out of the way, it's nice -- a good confidence booster. You've got to ride it out for as long as you can."

Sketch duo Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" and rap-comic Reggie Watts joined Sarah Silverman and Michael Cera to co-found the JASH comedy network on YouTube.
The band of comics was approached by Google to produce material for a new online comedy destination, a channel that offered them free reign to produce their brand of experimental comedy. The channel made its debut at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas last weekend.
"We each have pages within Jash and we each can curate those pages," Silverman said. "This is what we think is funny. It may not be your cup of tea, but there's no testing involved, there's no second-guessing of what a 14-year-old boy would like. It's just a place to do stuff and fail or not fail."
The brand new channel is sparse currently, and the group is already working on material to fill its pages — from a "French film noir trailer" from Silverman to a 25-minute short film from Cera, who, fresh off Netflix's Arrested Development revival, is taking full advantage of new distribution avenues.
Behind the scenes are "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" co-executive producer Douglas De Luca and Daniel Kellison, a former Kimmel executive producer and creator of shows like "Crank Yankers" and "The Man Show." The pair see great potential in Jash as a comedy incubator, and predict future crossovers with Kimmel's ABC talker.
