You might never spot them if not for the jumping. On the coast of Guam, Pacific leaping blennies blend in perfectly with the rocks they live on, their limbless bodies maintaining a sleek profile. But the creatures give themselves away when they coil their tails to one side and shoot like a spring from rock to rock. These unsettling animals are fish that live on land. How they pull it off could give us hints about the evolution of our first earthbound ancestors.Terry Ord, an evolutionary ecologis........ Read more »

This video and picture were made in 2011, but are currently reliving their fame on social media. The material is cute, of course, and interesting. It shows how encaptured chimps can be taught to care for their predator's cubs. A chimp's natural environment can also make him do just the opposite. In 1986 researchers described how a group of wild chimpanzees deliberately managed to drag a leopard's cub away from its mother and then kill it.... Read more »

Studying the ways people talk to themselves in their own minds is incredibly tricky because as soon as you ask them about it, you're likely interfering with the process you want to investigate. As William James said, some forms of introspective analysis are like "… trying to turn up the gas quickly enough to see how the darkness looks."For many years Russell Hurlbert and his colleagues have used a technique that they believe offers the best way to study what they call "pristine" inner speaking........

As winter sets in, small, resident insectivorous birds including Long-tailed tits, Great Tits and Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Goldcrests and Treecreepers join in loose, vocal mixed-species flocks that travel and forage together. Why do they eschew from following the saying 'birds of a feather flock together'? Well, first, their small bodies lose heat easily and the days are short, so they need to obtain as much food as possible. On the other hand, the leafless trees makes them more exposed to predatio........ Read more »

'Long Shot' doc follows Bay Area hoops star Kevin Laue
Perfectly timed to coincide with the start of basketball season: the release of Franklin Martin's Long Shot: The Kevin Laue Story, billed as "Hoop Dreams meets Murderball," with a healthy shot of Linsanity (now playing) to boot.
Martin spent four years following the Pleasanton-raised Laue, who was born with a left arm that ends just below his elbow. We see the budding hoops star — an honor student at Amador Valley High School as the film begins — mature from tousle-haired teen standout to Division I hopeful, refining his skills at a tough Virginia military academy along the way.
Laue is commandingly tall (nearly seven feet) and naturally gifted (despite, as all his coaches agree, also being naturally left-handed). He's also appealingly self-deprecating, which makes him an ideal doc subject. But college scouts are hesitant to take a chance on a kid with just one hand — even though game footage makes it clear that Laue's disability has no bearing on his ability to block shots and capture rebounds.
It's frustrating, to put it mildly, especially for a kid whose entire life seems to revolve around basketball, but Laue is (for the most part; military school's strict rules do inspire a few rebellions) willing to work harder than any other kid to keep up with the competition. He's driven not just by his own dreams, but also nagging regrets over not saying a proper good-bye to his father, who passed away from cancer when Laue was 10. It's clear he views his athletic success as a tribute to his dad.
Long Shot could have benefitted from interviewing more of Laue's teammates — what's it like to play with someone with just one hand, whose abilities are underestimated by nearly every opponent? — or even some of his friends. We see him attend one post-high school beer bash and hear a few offhand comments from his classmates. But beyond that, Long Shot focuses on Laue, his family, and his coaches (all of whom seem to be cut from the same gruff-yet-secretly-kind cloth).
Still, sports stories don't come more inspirational than this, and locals who recall Laue's rise to national prominence — including coverage in Sports Illustrated which attracted the attention of then-President Bush — will especially enjoy this inside peek at his hard-won success.

Review: The Wire, Season 5 Premier
"The bigger the lie, the more they believe."
Baltimore's Major Crimes Unit stands reconstituted under fresh operational and, further up the chain, political leadership. Familiar faces work every imaginable angle to box in the decaying city's aggressive and ambitious rising drug kingpin, while a new mayor reallocates resources as desperately and creatively as possible to plug the leaks in a failing education system, sabotaging in the process the very violent-crime clampdown for which he was unexpectedly elected.
In previous seasons, creator and producer David Simon has furnished detailed and provocative explications of the sociology of law enforcement, the decline of the American working class, the drug trade, and public education. Season 5 introduces viewers to a new perspective: the newsroom of a major local newspaper. Add the corporatization of the media to Simon's list. The new setting, in keeping with precedent, brings new characters, most notably the savvy, fight-picking Baltimore Sun city editor played aptly by Clark Johnson of Homicide: Life on the Streets fame. At this point, it's difficult to say how the new characters will unfold. But if earlier output is any indication, Simon et al will develop multi-dimensional, conflicted individuals some of whom leap off the screen. We'll wait this set out, but so far The Wire has produced two of the most compelling characters to come out of the Western cultural canon since Ingatius J. Reilly and Tom Joad.
This is a micro- and macroscopic mirroring of an American city rotting from without and from within. This is television as great modern literature, urban ethnographic film meets Dickens. The Wire has managed to have and eat its proverbial dramatic cake by successfully portraying systems as social actors without removing individuals from focus or depriving them of agency. The century-old social scientific tension between structure and experience is masterfully optimized as institutions, discourses, and vectors of power-relations conspire against the lived realities of a whole spectrum of rivetingly entertaining, sympathetic and unsympathetic, utterly believable human beings. Angry and ambitious, deadly serious yet sometimes shockingly funny, brilliantly written and acted, The Wire is not for the faint of heart; but it is modern storytelling at its absolute apogee.
Those who already follow the show need no selling. Those who don't have much to catch up on. But their patience will be rewarded with some of the most astonishingly provocative drama ever produced on television — a punch-to-the-solar-plexus of a series that will leave you breathless.
Yours truly,
Cinnamon J. Scudworth

The Baltimore Sun doesn't like it. I personally liked the premiere episode a lot, though the pacing was very different than series premieres past. Generally, the seasons have started out slow and gotten more frenzied as the end nears. This one started out with pacing more like a penultimate episode or finale from a previous season. I don't know if this is just because they have less time this season (10 episodes instead of the usual 12-13) or just because they have so much to resolve before the end. Either way, I'm looking forward to a TV show for once, which is nice.
i am really looking forward to this. i though season 4 was one of the best seasons of any tv show i've ever watched. i'm waiting until sunday to watch it even though i know it's already available.
Heh! Not surprising that the Baltimore Sun is not a big fan!
THE WIRE is quite possibly the best television show. Ever.
If there's one show that deserves more viewers than it's gotten it's THE WIRE.
I can't wait to get to the fifth season, but I'm in the middle of the third.
Die hard WIRE fans should check out the prequels at Amazon.com and Youtube. If you've ever wondered what Omar was doing in 1985, it may satisfy your curiosity.
I like the Bunk/McNulty prequel – the other two, not so much.
I'm in the middle of season 2, and I'm struggling. After watching all of season one in a week, it's taken me two to get halfway done with the second season. The pace is slower, and the dock workers don't interest me like the people around the towers. Please tell me season 3 and 4 are better?
Loved Season 2, but it took me a little while to warm up to the dock workers setting. Hang in there jjohnsen, Season 2 ends up being the equal of Season 1, in my opinion. Seasons 3 and 4 maintain the excellence.
I TiVo'd last night's episode and plan to watch it tonight.
Nice write up Scuddy, you nailed it.
yeah jjohnsen im exactly the same as you. I didn't really like series 2 but loved 1. Don't worry 3 and 4 are just like the first again.

Franklin, Indiana DUI Defense Attorney
Defending Drunk Driving Charges in Johnson County and Throughout Central Indiana
An arrest for drunk driving or operating under the influence can lead to many problems in your life. If convicted, you can face heavy fines, driver's license suspension, increased insurance rates, and possible jail time. First offenders and repeat offenders both face serious penalties for drunk driving, and will benefit from the advice and counsel of a lawyer to defend their rights.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for DUI and is seeking an experienced drunk driving defense lawyer, call Andrew S. Roesener at 317-736-6125 or send an e-mail to schedule your free initial consultation.
An Experienced Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer on Your Side
Andrew S. Roesener is a criminal litigator. As an active trial lawyer, he willingly proceeds toward trial when doing so is in his client's best interest. While a DUI case may not go to trial, this dedicated approach can be highly beneficial for his clients.
Drunk driving defense is different from other types of criminal defense. It requires significant understanding of technical issues and constantly changing case law. The legal issues are often related to breath testing technology and involve blood alcohol levels, certification procedures for law enforcement, certification for the breath test machine, and an understanding of proper administration of field sobriety tests.
Each county must have proper certification to show that the results of the breath test machine are reliable. This evidence must be presented at trial. In some situations, certification can be outdated and results of the breath test can be ruled inadmissible.
A DUI can be charged at different levels depending on the circumstances. Currently, a first time offense is a misdemeanor. However, if a child under the age of sixteen was in the vehicle, it is a felony offense. If injuries, prior convictions, or fatalities are involved during the commission of the offense, it will likely be charged as a felony.
Andrew S. Roesener can protect your rights. He can help you obtain a hardship license to get to and from work. Whether negotiating a plea agreement on your behalf, challenging evidence or providing aggressive defense at trial, you can feel confident in his services.

Student Code of Conduct
Code of Conduct for Students at UCL
UCL enjoys a reputation as a world-class university. It was founded on the basis of equal opportunity, being the first English university to admit students irrespective of their faith and cultural background. It was the first university in England to admit women.
UCL expects its members* to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that does not bring UCL into disrepute, this includes conduct whilst not on UCL premises.
Good conduct means:
In general realising that you are an ambassador for UCL and behaving accordingly. This applies anywhere and at anytime but is particularly important in the local community around UCL, whilst on fieldwork, whilst on other study away from UCL, on the sports field and whilst engaged in any other UCL-related activity;

Developing Drivers ®
We use unique methods to get the best out of you and your driving. Safety and fun are top priorities for us. Let us inspire you.
For Business
Business driving now falls under the Health and Safety legislation and it is important to train everyone. Traditionally risk assessments were used to eliminate drivers and keep the cost of in-car training down, but - dare we say it - respondents may not be completely truthful and the wrong people may be trained.
Our training starts in the classroom. It is short and punchy and suits every driver, business and private. It builds on their existing driving experience and improves the driver's knowledge about the vehicle, the driving environment and attitudes and interactions with other drivers which contribute 2/3rds of the driver development process.
For those that need in-car training we can take the messages from the classroom and develop skills in the car for greater control.
Our courses are configured to suit your needs and the size of your fleet. If you want to minimise down-time for your drivers we will accommodate this and maybe configure the training as an add-on to a monthly sales meeting or we can run open business training courses where several businesses collaborate through us, and each send a few drivers at a time. We analyse the benefits of training for you and offer suggested cost savings and methods to monitor them. We can even project manage the implementation of your training program.
Our business training is priced from £20 per driver.
Contact us with your requirements and queries: email@example.com
For more details about our Developing Drivers for Business see our brochure. Download it here or email us and we will send you a PDF copy: More...

PARKERSBURG -Parkersburg Police are investigating reports of multiple shots fired this morning on the 800 block of Lynn Street.
According to a release from Parkersburg Police Sgt. Greg Collins officers were dispatched to a call of multiple gun shots in the 800 block of Lynn Street around 4:15 a.m. Officers arrived on scene in less than a minute with all persons' involved gone on arrival.
Collins said officers spoke to three witnesses who advised there was an altercation between multiple people in two separate vehicles outside Wild Suzy's in the 800 block of 7th Street.
According to the release, witness reports said occupants of a large, dark colored SUV, possibly a Lincoln Navigator, fired shots towards the occupants of a smaller, light colored SUV that was traveling north on Lynn Street. The smaller SUV reportedly stopped with a black male exiting the vehicle and returning fire towards the bar.
Officers were able to locate several fired shell casings from two different types of weapons. Forty caliber shell casings were located in the 800 block of Lynn Street, and .50 caliber shell casings were located in the parking lot and on the sidewalk in front of Wild Suzy's bar.
Multiple detectives are currently working on the incident. There were no reported injuries and as of yet, there has been no bullet damage located on any property.
If anyone has any information on this incident, please contact the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444.

A Response to Dean MalikBy Jack Kerwick
Dean Malik has been busy fending off critics of his "Identity Politics: the denial of American Exceptionalism," which American Thinker published a few weeks ago. I am among those critics. I will focus on what Malik had to say about my remarks in his "An American First, Always, and Last: a Response to Critics." My rebuttal is divided into three sections. In the first I respond to the specific charges that Malik made against my arguments. In the second, I correct his mischaracterization of Burke. In the third, I draw the reader's attention to three of our nation's Founders -- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin -- in order to show that when it comes to the issues of race, ethnicity, and religion, they shared the sensibilities of their contemporaries, not the politically correct sympathies of ours. I select these three Founders for two reasons. First, time and space constraints prevent me from extending the list indefinitely -- as I effortlessly could have done. Second, given Malik's enthusiasm over.... (Read Full Article)

King College will celebrate Spring Commencement exercises at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 5, 2012, on the campus Oval. The scheduled keynote speaker is The Rev. Dr. John N. Akers.
The Rev. Dr. John N. Akers, an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, is special assistant to Dr. Billy Graham. A native of Colorado Springs, Colo., he is a graduate of the University of Colorado (B.A., history), Columbia Theological Seminary (B.D., Th.M., New Testament), and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland (Ph.D., Ecclesiastical History). He has taught at two Presbyterian colleges, Belhaven College and Montreat College, and was also academic dean of Montreat College until accepting his present position in 1977.
Dr. Akers' responsibilities include assisting Dr. Graham in research, administration, and special projects. He has a special interest in the Church in Eastern Europe and Asia, including China and North Korea, and has helped coordinate Dr. Graham's visits in those parts of the world. Additionally, he is involved in various ecumenical contacts, and has accompanied Dr. Graham on his visits to the Vatican. He also acted as the editorial coordinator for Dr. Graham's autobiography, "Just As I Am," and other books by Dr. Graham. Dr. Akers serves on the board of various non-profit agencies, and is a member of the Board of Directors of Christianity Today magazine. He also served as chair of the Program Planning Committee for Amsterdam 2000, which brought together more than 10,000 Christian leaders and evangelists for strategic planning and training in evangelism.
King will award diplomas to 374 students who have completed undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies degrees. Special honors will include the Distinguished Faculty Award, M. Jeffrey Byrd Distinguished Service Award, Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, R.T.L. Liston Award for Academic Excellence, as well as the presentation of the Jack E. Snider Honors Fellows.

This once in a lifetime project has been designed to honor the Legends and Iconic Artists of the Past, Present and Future.
The Past ( The Legends ) will be honored in a 12 part dramatic, never before seen, episodic narrative documentary series.
The series will be filmed like a 12 hour movie, with a cast of characters pulled from music history. Each episode will be filled with twists, turns, emotional moments and dramatic cliffhangers. No one story will be fully revealed in a single episode. The stories will unfold over a series of episodes. The narrative will be told by the artist themselves. Sade, Adele, Sting, & Jay Z may tell the story of Miles Davis. Quincy Jones, Jack White, Rihanna and Lykke Li might tell the story of David Bowie and so on.

Empty Prison Hurts Rushville Finances
Rushville, IL – Rushville is having to adjust its current budget because of the state's decision not to open the newly-built juvenile prison. Mayor Ron Shepherd says the main gap in the budget is the $125,000 per year the city is spending in payments on the cost of preparing the site. He says Rushville is seeking a state grant to help cover what it spent to attract the prison. He says the city council's Finance Committee has been asked to trim from three to five percent from the budget's line items to help bring the document into balance.

Handbook of Thanatology
If ever there was an area requiring that the research-practice gap be bridged, surely it occurs where thanatologists engage with people dealing with human mortality and loss. The field of thanatology—the study of death and dying—is a complex, multidisciplinary area that encompases the range of human experiences, emotions, expectations, and realities. The Handbook of Thanatology is the most authoritative volume in the field, providing a single source of up-to-date scholarship, research, and practice implications.

Agriculture and Food:
Rebuttal to the Cotton Council
RCED-96-117R, Apr 24, 1996
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed a National Cotton Council report that criticized a GAO review of the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) cotton program. GAO noted that the Council believes that the review was flawed because GAO: (1) used improper factors in evaluating program costs; (2) did not properly evaluate the benefits of the marketing loan program; (3) improperly evaluated the costs of producing cotton; and (4) failed to consider the impact of the breakup of the Soviet Union on cotton prices. GAO believes that: (1) it properly evaluated cotton program costs by using the gross domestic product implicit price deflator as a measure to compare costs over a period of time and 1993 as the base year for program costs; (2) it properly determined that cotton exports and market share declined during the 3 years that the marketing loan program was in effect; (3) its use of multiyear averages instead of individual year averages did not affect its evaluation of the costs of producing cotton; (4) it properly took into consideration the breakup of the Soviet Union on the cotton market during 1991 and 1992; and (5) its evaluation methodologies were sound, its staff was experienced, competent, and fair, it adequately discussed its report with USDA and the National Cotton Council, and it took into consideration the Council's comments.

Summer must be comin' because the fashion magazines are rolling out their most scorching covers of the year.
Details got a leg on the competition by scoring the hottest vamp of them all, Alexander Skarsgård, a.k.a. True Blood's Eric, for a May cover story I simply must read now.
I mean, thanks to this tease I'm flooded with images of the beyond-hunky actor in his Swedish Marines uniform. Hello!
Photo: EW.com.
Update: Are you freakin' kiddin' me?
Skarsgård is not the only True Blood stud to be getting his own Details cover: Ryan Kwanten and Stephen Moyer are also striking a pose for the May issue.
Each looks super-H-O-T, but Kwanten has an abs-olutlely edge, if must be said.

Literary Forensics
The Trial of the Century
Charles Lindbergh Jr., twenty months old, was kidnapped on the evening of March 1, 1932. The police arrived and searched the grounds. A carpenter's chisel was found near ladder impressions under the nursery window, and less than a hundred feet away a wooden extension ladder lay on the ground in three sections, one of which was broken.
Inside the nursery was an envelope containing a note that said:
"Dear Sir!
Have 50000$ redy with 25 000 $ in 20 $ bills 1.5000 $ in 10$ bills and 10000$ in 5 $ bills. After 2-4 days we will inform you were to deliver the Mony.
We warn you for making anyding public or for notify the Police the child is in gut care.
Indication for all letters are singnature and 3 holes."
At the bottom right-hand corner of the sheet of paper was a drawing of two interlocking blue circles, each an inch in diameter. The penny-size area where the circles intersected had been colored red, and three small holes had been punched into the design, at the left, right, and center, about an inch apart.
On March 5, a second ransom letter scolded Lindbergh for involving the police, and upped the ransom demand to $70,000. The same symbol of interlocking circles was at the bottom.
In all, fourteen such notes would be received over the course of the investigation. They were signed with the same symbol and often contained the same misspellings and grammatical errors. The handwriting also looked the same, and the same type of paper was used. One note agreed on a go-between, John F. Condon, and another gave instructions for the type of box that must be made for delivery of the money.
Condon went to a cemetery to meet the man, but he did not take any money. He insisted on a token of proof, and soon the baby's sleeping suit arrived to the Lindbergh home. Attached was a note:
Dear Sir: Ouer man faill to collect the mony. There are no more confidential conference after we meeting from March 12. Those arrangemts to hazardous for us. We will note allow ouer man to confer in a way like befor. circumstance will note allow us to make transfer like you wish It is impossibly for us. wy shuld we move the baby and face danger. to take another person to the place is entirely out of question. It seems you are afraid if we are the rigth party and if the baby is allright. Well you have ouer singnature. It is always the same as the first one specialy them 3 holes.
On the reverse side was:
Now we will send you the sleeping suit from the baby besides it means 3$ extra expenses because we have to pay another one, please tel Mrs. Lindbergh note to worry the baby is well. we only have to give him more food as the diet says.
You are willing to pay the 70000 note 50000 $ without seeing the baby first or note. let us know about that in the New York-American. We can't do it other ways because we don't like to give up ouer safty plase or to move the baby. If you are willing to accept this deal, put these in paper.
I accept mony is redy.
Ouer program is:
After 8 houers we have the mony received we will notify you where to find the baby. If there is any trapp, you will be responsible what will follow.
With the help of the IRS, two packages of bills were made, both containing gold certificates currency that was still based on the gold standard. The prescribed box contained $50,000, and a second package contained the additional $20,000. The bills were not marked but the serial numbers had been secretly recorded, and the smaller package contained large bills that would be easy to spot. They were also issued in gold certificates because an agent of the IRS suggested that the country would soon be going off the gold standard, and all such bills would be called in. Thus, these bills would be "plants."
On March 31, Condon received instructions about the exchange. Yet when he handed over the money, all he got was another note:
"The boy is on the Boad Nelly. It is a small boad 28 feet long. Two persons are on the boad. The are innosent. you will find the Boad between Horseneck Beach and gay Head near Elizabeth Island."
Lindbergh searched for this elusive boat, while the Treasury Department distributed the serial numbers of the ransom money to area banks. The baby was not found and Lindbergh finally returned home.
On May 12, 1932, at 3:15, a truck driver, William Allen, stopped on Princeton-Hopewell Road about one-half mile outside Mount Rose. He walked into the woods about seventy feet and saw the skull of what looked like a child, with one leg sticking up out of the ground. The cause of death was a massive fracture of the skull. Lindbergh identified the child from the clothing as his son, and had the remains cremated.
All of the ransom and instruction notes were sent to several analysts, who all concluded that they had been written by the same person. The misspellings were consistent, as were the odd inversion of some letters like g and h, and there were references in some to earlier notes or events. The holes in the symbol had been punched by the same instrument. The letters had been written on the same kind of paper with the same ink. The nationality, inferred from the phraseology, was probably German. One expert, Albert S. Osborn, the author of Questioned Documents, composed a paragraph for police to use to get suspects to write out certain words that could be compared with the notes, using words like 'our,' 'place,' and 'money.' The paragraph had to be dictated, not copied.
Finally, on September 15, 1934, a gas station manager turned in the license plate for a man who had used a gold certificate to pay for gas. The car belonged to Bruno Richard Hauptmann, and a search of his home turned up more of the ransom money.
Hauptmann maintained that a man named Isador Fisch had given him the money before departing for Germany, where he had died. No one believed him and he was arrested. He was asked to provide samples of his handwriting, as well as to copy the ransom notes as closely as possible. He was made to write over and over, for hours, until he fell asleep at the table from exhaustion.
He wrote his statement seven times, believing that writing would get him out of the mess. Nine sheets of dictated writing were taken to Albert Osborn's son, Albert D. Osborn, although police claimed that it was obvious that in the early stages Hauptmann had tried to disguise his writing. He had been required to write with three different pens, with some samples written upright and some slanted in others words, he was asked to write in many different ways. The end result was that there were more discrepancies between some of his writing samples than between his samples and the ransom notes.
Osborn spent fifteen minutes going over the statements, unconvinced that this was the writer of the ransom notes, but he kept some samples for further analysis. The police then forced Hauptmann to write more statements and told him to spell certain words in the way they dictated. "I was told to write it exactly as it was dictated to me," he said, "and this included writing words spelled as I was told to spell them." (In Hauptmann's other writings, such as letters, he does not misspell these words.)
He was also told to copy the composite statements. He was also told to copy photostats of the ransom notes, although this is improper protocol. One officer later noted that he had to work hard to replicate them. At no time was he offered the services of a lawyer.
Osborn called during the middle of all of this and said there were too many dissimilarities between the writer and the ransom notes. Offered more specimens, he said it would not change his opinion. The next day, while the father and son team studied the notes, along with specimens from Hauptmann's house, the police unearthed a large cache of ransom money hidden in Hauptmann's garage. This information was conveyed to the Osborns, which meant that if they did not match the notes, and the police actually did have the kidnapper in custody, they would look incompetent. They had spent two hours unable to find much but a few similarities, and they had found many divergences. Yet less than an hour after they learned about the money, they identified Hauptmann as the author of the ransom notes.
According to some of the analysis, Hauptmann had a peculiar way of writing 'x' and 't.' He also wrote "not" as "note," using an open 'o' and an uncrossed 't,' and wrote 'the' in a strangely illegible manner. The most telling evidence is a diagnosis of Hauptmann suffering from agraphia the peculiar "tic" of adding unnecessary 'e's onto various words, evident in the notes and at times in his own letters.
However, one handwriting expert who saw exemplars from Fisch said that Fisch wrote the ransom notes. There was also a statement by a witness to the effect that Fisch was seen near the Lindbergh home a short time before the kidnapping, which corroborated Hauptmann's "Fisch" story.
The Hauptmann trial took place in the county seat, Flemington, New Jersey at the Hunterdon County Courthouse. During the trial, Albert Osborn and his son gave damaging testimony. (Many years later one of them demonstrated his "expertise" by erroneously identifying the forgeries of Clifford Irving as the handwriting of Howard Hughes.)
Notably, an expert who was convinced that Hauptmann did not write the ransom notes was not allowed to testify. Hilda Z. Braunlich was a European handwriting expert, and she believed that the ransom notes had been overwritten with changes that amounted to forgery. She told this to the defense attorney and claims he ordered her to leave the state. Also, the police had cleared Hauptmann's home of his writings, so the defense was unable to offer specimens to show that his personal writings did not match the ransom notes.
The state's handwriting experts, along with other evidence, convinced the jury that Hauptmann was guilty of kidnap and murder, and he was sentenced and executed.
Besides examining handwriting or a typewriter, the analysis of questioned documents has branched off into other areas, and one of the most promising appears to be attributional analysis.

Trains get back on track
Monday, 03 December 2012
South West Trains (SWT) restored a full timetable on the West of England line on Monday, December 3rd following track repairs after extreme weather conditions.
Passengers traveling to and from Axminster, Honiton and Feniton were among those who had been affected, and a SWT spokesperson said: "Engineers working at five separate sites affected by flood damage on the railway line between Yeovil and Exeter have achieved the major milestones necessary to allow a full train service.
"Engineers will continue to carry out work around the line to help to reduce future problems. Whilst this work takes place, three speed restrictions will remain in place at Broom (near Axminster), Crewkerne and Honiton which will result in slightly extended journey times."
South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance MD Tim Shoveller added: "We understand the inconvenience this situation has caused for our customers over the past week or so and we would like to thank them for their patience during what has been a very difficult time.
"We are sorry for the disruption they have experienced to their journeys. Our engineers have worked very hard to complete the necessary repair work as quickly as possible. However, it was vital that they also took the time to ensure that all the necessary infrastructure was restored before a full service could run on the line."

Golf Course Conditions: What To Expect In The Summer
Course Conditions: What to Expect In The Summer
Ah summer, where the days are long and the weather is sweet and hot in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Grand Strand is a favorite vacation spot from families to golfers due to the abundance of activities one can choose from. With more than 90 golf courses and thousands of miles of white sandy beaches, Myrtle Beach has become a favorite vacation spot for new and long time visitors.
Summer is a great time to play golf in Myrtle Beach. Not only will golfers find less crowded courses during the summer months, but also many courses will offer low rates, special packages and kids play free promotions. Golfers can beat the heat by playing early and still have the afternoon to spend with family and friends.
Golfers visiting with their families or buddies will most likely carve out some vacation time to hit the links. Before going to the course this summer, golfers may want to check course conditions as the summer months have become a popular time for golf courses to improve their course conditions. Improvements may take a couple of days to a couple of months, which might include aerification or switching from one type of green to another.
The two main grasses courses use are Bent and Bermuda. Bent grass becomes high maintenance in the hotter months, needing a lot more TLC to keep the greens looking and playing great. Bermuda grass offers players with a much more favorable playing condition year-round, which is why many southeast golf courses are making investments to change their greens to Bermuda.
A Myrtle Beach vacation either way is going to be great fun and many memories will be made. Hopefully, a few of those memories will be on the golf course, one with outstanding playing conditions. And don't forget to contact The Glens Golf Group for all of your golf and accommodation needs.

Comments about Full Tilt Mary Jane Ski Boots - Women's 2013:
good product
Good Boot
By Ash
from Pittsburgh, PA
About Me Intermediate
The Mary Jane was my first Full Tilt boot. I loved them completely, early on- easy to get in and out of, super light, super comfortable. It wasn't until about halfway though the ski season that I realized that I was basically cinching down the middle buckle the whole way to account for the way my heel was lifting out of the heel pocket, which was sometimes causing some discomfort.I have since transitioned over into the Soul Sister, and the pro liner makes a WORLD of difference. The Mary Jane is still a wonderful beginner boot though- that little bit of extra toe room for those not accustomed to tightly fitting boots is nice too- but I'd recommend you take it to a professional boot fitter to address the heel lift issue.
Great Ski Boot!
By Ann
from Breckenridge Colorado
I'm recovering from breaking my lower leg in two places. I needed an easy entry/exit boot. Can't wait to use these boots this winter! Hopefully, I will be able to recommend them to other seniors that could benefit from their easy entry/exit.
I would buy this product again.
By Kemp
from Ogden, Utah
Love how easy they are to get on and off! The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish the buckles could go tighter. It would be awesome if the straps came so that they could be adjusted.
full tilt mary jane disappointing
By viola
from CT
in proper length could not tighten enough to prevent heel lift. Tried one size too short, still had heel lift (tried the other women's style with a narrower footbed in a 1/2 size too short, still too much heel lift.) Would be a great boot if one could tighten it enough to be able to control skis.

The BA in Environment and Society/Youth and Family Studies is a three-year degree programme:
Year 1 of this programme will operate on a shared platform of relevant modules drawn from the disciplines of economics, sociology and politics, before diverging into two specialist pathways in Year 2.
This pathway has been developed to provide a coherent and integrated introduction to the study of social science and the environment. Environment, society and the economy are all interlinked. Changes in the environment affect society and the economy and vice versa. Climate change, rapid depletion of natural resources and associated problems, such as rising food and fuel prices, are beginning to change the way we operate economically, socially and politically. Further social changes will occur as people change their consumption, production, work and travel patterns, and political systems will play an ever increasing role in determining future environmental policy.
To date, most third level courses have studied the environment from the perspective of the natural sciences. This innovative degree programme adopts a different approach by analysing the environment from the perspective of the social sciences, namely, the three disciplines of economics, sociology and politics. It brings together the most important approaches to understanding the economic, social, human, political and environmental world, developing skills for a whole range of future careers and activities.
This pathway has been developed to afford students the chance to develop the ability to analyse and understand the social constructs of youth and family, from a variety of social science perspectives.
While the course of adolescents' physiological and psychological development might not have changed over the last number of years, there is little argument that the social context within which this takes place has altered hugely, both globally and nationally. Ireland's social, economic and political development has been telescoped into a much shorter time-span than for our other European counterparts. One of the direct knock-on effects of this development can be seen in the lives of young people and the families from which they originate. The landmark publication of the State of the Nation's Children Report (2006) in Ireland showed that the top three issues affecting young people in Ireland are binge drinking, youth suicide and physical activity/poor diet.
Ireland has also seen major changes in fertility, work, urbanisation, and in the nature of family and community life, alongside fundamental shifts in information and communication technologies. The concept of family is continually evolving and being socially constructed by socio-economic forces inside and outside of Ireland. All of these factors illustrate the need to provide an undergraduate course which examines these issues in greater detail. The Youth and Family Studies degree is a broad educational programme, placing specific emphasis on knowledge and skills required for personnel working within a range of sectors seeking to support and enable families and young people to function more effectively within society.
