Fairly happy with my times, tuned car I think I did a 1'36.2 and the standard was a 1'48.4 I believe. 3'24.7 or something combined. I'm pretty sure that Daniel Holland will get me before the end.
As some of you probably already know, I can't enter. I'm just purely doing the time trials for fun and some friendly competition with my mate from GTPlanet Dan Holland. The reason, I'm not over 18, so yeah, sucks a bit but ah well. GT6 hopefully....

your on top and not even 18, I assume you race Karts quite seriously (and kick ass)

Err.. DNF and DNF... I'll get back to it this weekend and try and adapt to the handling enough to finish a lap on the non-tuned car...

I only did a few lap's last night, 1'43.733 for the tuned with a controller, and that was a pretty shocking lap, am 79th and falling! Haven't had a good blast yet, but the weekend is almost here!
However after only a few minutes of playing I thought to myself "its going to be crazy hard to get a competitive lap time without a decent wheel and pedals". The controller isn't accurate enough, especially if you want to balance the throttle and hit the apex perfectly!
Anyone recommend a good cheap wheel? I would love to get something like the Logitech G25, but don't have a spare $500

text: This photography was made at a New Hampshire backyard wedding where I'm out shooting with my friend Boston Rob. I was shooting all the dancing shots that you see at every wedding and after an hour of shooting like this I started to look for little moments to fill in the time at the reception. As I watched this woman I could see a mix of emotions. She was happy to see her family and friends on the dance floor, but there was also a little sadness and just that small amount of intrigue into what her thoughts were at that moment make this a photograph that I just keep returning to. Is she reminiscing about her youth or lost loved ones? I'll never know and that's what makes the story.

Dolphin SVN r7426 released |
Listed in: News, Homebrew Emulators Tags: dolphin emulator, dolphin team, wii homebrew
The Dolphin Dev Team continues to improve their Nintendo Gamecube and Wii emulator project with the release of the latest revision 7426. What's new in the latest update?
- Revision 7426:
- Fix issue 4267. (but not really)
- Revision 7425:
- Fixed issue 4141.(key press beeping) Initializing the video backend in the GUI thread seemed to be the cause for whatever reason. Hopefully other platforms don't hate this change.
- Revision 7424:

- Revision 7423:
- DX11: Fix issue 4345
- Revision 7422:
- Eliminated a memcpy in DX11's vertex shader disk cache loading. Maybe games will boot faster now, who knows?
Developer's note:
Dolphin is a Gamecube and Wii emulator. Most games run perfectly or with minor bugs. Games are playable at HD quality, up to 1080p. This is a remarkable feature the actualGamecube and Wii consoles are not capable of. As an open source project everyone can commit improvements. The code is hosted on code.google.com. Dolphin is actively developed and almost every day new features are added and bugs fixed as well.
System Requirements
- Windows XP or higher, or Linux, or MacOSX Intel.
- Fast modern CPU with SSE2. Dual core for a speed boost.
- Any reasonable modern GPU with Pixel Shader 2.0 or greater. nVidia or ATI are good. Older integrated Intel chips may not work, newer ones should work fine.
- For more information, see http://forums.dolphin-emu.com/thread-4.html
- Runs the following types of games:
- Gamecube Game Disc
- Wii Game Disc
- Wii Downloadable Games / Virtual Console
- Triforce Arcade games
- Action Replay Simulator
- Xbox 360 Controller support, with rumble (KB Plugin)
- Experimental NetPlay
- Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering (OGL Plugin)
- Save states
- Memory Card Manager with GCI memcard export/import support
- Real and emulated Wiimote support
- Basic PowerPC Debugger and Log Window
- DSP HLE and experimental LLE
- Memory viewer and dumper
- PowerPC Just-In-Time recompiler
- WAD Support
- Some support for Homebrew and XFB Emulation
- Hi-Res Support, texture dumper, Free Look (OGL Plugin)
Usage Notes
- The GUI should be pretty much self-explanatory.
- To use Action Replay codes, follow the examples in the Patches subdirectory. Use + in front of a cheat name to activate it. The cheats can be named anything.
- To start in debug mode, pass /d (or -d) on the command line.

This post has been updated to reflect that policy-wise, Office for Education director Holly Miller says she answers to Mayor McGinn—and answered to former Mayor Greg Nickels. —Eds.
While I was on (mini) vacation last week, Erica's straightforward report comparing the number of female city department heads in former mayor Greg Nickels' administration to the number of female department heads in Mayor Mike McGinn's administration caused a ruckus. Nickels did much better when it came to female representation.
I don't think McGinn is a male chauvinist pig. What concerned me about the story was Team McGinn's reaction. In addition to being weirdly out-sized and melodramatic (see Facebook)—McGinn's formal response was too Orwellian for me.
As the NBA's Rasheed Wallace famously said, "Ball don't lie," Erica's numbers are indisputable: 54 percent of Nickels' city department heads were women vs. 30 percent of McGinn's.
However, even though Erica did an apples to apples comparison between Nickels' city department heads then and McGinn's now—as opposed to office directors who operate under department heads—McGinn said he had more female directors than Erica reported because he had made some changes and announced that two office directors were now cabinet members and so should be counted with the department directors.
McGinn says he made changes, promoting women to director positions. But Miller told me her position under McGinn is "exactly the same" as it was under Nickels.
There's a great scene in Woody Allen's classic Bananas—a spoof of left-wing revolutions—where the new dictator of the fictional San Marcos announces: "Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now 16 years old!" (This was after announcing that the official language of San Marcos would suddenly be Swedish and that everyone had to wear their underwear on the outside and change it every half hour.)
The two women McGinn wanted us to count among the department directors are Holly Miller, director of the city's Office for Education, and Barb Graff, director of the Office of Emergency Management. However, organizationally, Miller's office operates under the Department of Neighborhoods, and Graff's office is under the umbrella of the SPD. Moreover, McGinn didn't appoint either woman; they were both appointed by former mayor Greg Nickels.
I'm kinda creeped out at how fast and loose McGinn is willing to play with the facts to resist criticism.
I talked to Miller and Graff today. Miller told me her position under McGinn is "exactly the same" as it was under Nickels. She was part of Nickels cabinet. She's part of McGinn's cabinet. Administratively, her office operated under of the Department of Neighborhoods during the Nickels administration, and it's the same set up under McGinn. She says policy-wise, she answers to McGinn, but she also answered to Nickels on policy. Erica did not count Miller in her Nickels calculations nor her McGinn calculations.
It's not the implication of institutional sexism that struck me about all this, it's McGinn's impulse to alter the facts. Meanwhile, Office of Emergency Management Director Graff told me that—just as she did during the Nickels administration—she answers to her department director, currently SPD Chief Jim Pugel.
Graff did tell me that there has been a change under McGinn. She says while she attended cabinet meetings under Nickels (when emergency preparedness issues were on the agenda), she was not a formal member of his cabinet. She says she is now formally a part of McGinn's cabinet, and attends every cabinet meeting.
Even if you went the banana republic route and submitted to McGinn's adjusted reality by including Graff and Miller among the department heads, Nickels' numbers would still dwarf McGinn's. Nickels' numbers would increase to 58 percent female directors, while McGinn would lag behind Nickels at 36 percent.
It's not the implication of institutional sexism that struck me about all this, though. I don't think McGinn is a sexist; he has powerful women on both his reelection squad and in top spots in his office, including his chief of staff, Julie McCoy. (Though get this: McGinn also wanted us to count McCoy, along with his communications director Beth Hester—his political operatives—when calculating our stats about city department directors. I guess that provides some insight into McGinn's city priorities.)
No, what bothered me about Gendergate was McGinn's impulse to demand that others believe his own press releases as zealously as he does.

BeckoningChasm 2009-08-03 10:31:00 I am a cyborg. I am death incarnate. When Apocalypse transformed me, I laughed at the freedom I now had. I know the depths of depression, the dark skies in which one hopes to find a reflection. I do not lecture. Philip K. Dick was a one-note author, but he built a few resonant chords with that note. I am sorry that you, as we all do, come face to face with despair. It is the hallmark of everyone who creates. Ultimately, there has to be someone to look upon the creation, and that is when the value is sometimes fixed. The cartoons I thought were hilarious were often greeted with a shrug, while those I tossed off "just to post something" were greeted with praise. What do I do? Nothing. I shrug and I still submit the ones I think are hilarious, and expect nothing. And I submit the ones I toss off, hoping to hear the audience. Of course, I'm a cyborg. A deadly radioactive cyborg. A cyborg who got fired on Friday, though that's neither here nor there. It's one of those hilarious cartoons that no one laughs at. |
IP 2009-08-03 09:06:00 Thanks for being there. But there are times when humor doesn't help. There are times when I pay for everything you like about what I write, Times when I hate absolutely everyone.. with all polite apologies. |
apotheosis 2009-08-03 08:57:00 I'd present my cyborg credentials and argue that Philip K Dick was a hack on that other site, if I knew where it was. |
IP 2009-08-03 08:53:00 BC? Apoth? Are you cyborgs? Do you have big tits in tight uniforms? Do you exesmplify the surpassing philosophies of Philip K. Dick? If not, talk to me in the morning. But don't lecture me tonight. I'm allowed to be as pissed as I want. The thing nobody really gets. The utter blackness of being entirely alone, no matter how many want to vitiate the pain. Who is St. Nuke? Don't answer. Don't pretend you know. |
apotheosis 2009-08-03 08:29:00 For a guy who patiently compiled a vast, intricate, and elaborately-interwoven text spanning the entire breadth of recorded human history, you sure do get discouraged in a hurry. |
BeckoningChasm 2009-08-03 08:26:00 I love Instapunk.com and would be sad if you shut it down. |
IP 2009-08-03 08:15:00 Well, maybe I should shut the whole thing down... the silence when there's no cyborg on the scene is deafening. Sound and fury and disappointment. |
IP 2009-08-03 02:11:00 PJ: Hey, you do whatever you want or feel like. You don't have to justify anything. Not here, not anywhere. But take a look at 'Into the Metalkort.' It's easy to partipate, and I KNOW there are people who want to hear what you have to say -- whether it's about 9/11 or stamp collecting. |
Peregrine John 2009-08-03 01:49:00 Very nice. Yeah, the growing readership has a growing set of curiously shared interests. Not all are going to overlap, though that's a feature, not a bug. Me, I like CP's lists of things like the best western gunfights because I don't know a dang thing about the genre and don't know where to start. Stuff like that all over, I'm guessing. Also, my apologies for any inadvertent damage done to the... whatever it is. Punk gestalt. The ferocious truth-telling is a beautiful thing. The reasoning here is scalpels and lasers, not the all-caps shillelaghs and machetes used in most of the 'net. Instead of manic shrieking, thought (of whatever volume). Next time I give any fan-boy whinging, whack me in the head and tell me to get a freakin' grip and write something. |

Wearing Landa Dresses provide a boost of confidence to the woman who wants to show her faith in the inner strength, and beauty of the feminine form. The beauty of any woman displayed in an elegant setting of flowing material, or the silhouette hugging shorter dresses of the Landa Designs Collections, can be sure she will be the center of attention no matter the event or occasion. From the one design everyone needs; the perfect little black dress, to the exotic patterns and plaids; Landa Dresses come in palettes that flatter a woman's skin tone, favorite selection of jewelry, and even a single hairstyle. The fabrics, from which Landa Dresses are created, come in stunning panoply of hues, and textures, and are adorned with sparkling beads, sequins, gemstones, and hand appliqués. The delicate details of Landa Dresses is what makes them one of a kind, the subtleties of the simpler designs in no way detracts from the sheer dramatic effect of wearing Landa Dresses. For the bolder woman who is not afraid to show her fashion sense in Landa Dresses of vivid reds, or flashing, shimmering purple which features Flamenco ruffles, or free-flowing Grecian pleats, the old world style of the beauty queens is waiting with a modern flair for her to wear. Making a dramatic entrance in Landa dresses is easy.

For those who want the appeal of the gothic design, then Landa Dresses can fill the bill.

With halter tops, and short jackets, these dresses would be appropriate for the invitation only events sponsoring a new artist, or presentation at the metropolitan museums, or the art galleries around town. With a dress of pale blue, shimmering in the sunlight a single shoulder strap dress would be perfect for the informal affair in the late evening, in a garden setting. For the younger woman, A-line dresses of hot pink would be perfect for the opening of a night club in the trendiest part of town; younger women will also appreciate the Baby doll printed leopard print Landa Dresses, which allow the toned legs of the athletics' loving younger woman to shine. The drama of darker colors for a fall or winter event can be aesthetically pleasing for a more formal affair, deep reds, shimmering blacks, and luxurious Mediterranean blues, set off the mature woman's collection of gemstones beautifully. With the addition, of satin gloves in a complimentary color, and an evening wrap, the ornate designs offered by Landa Dresses are perfect for any season. While accessories are of course a personal choice, the pairing of Landa Dresses with strappy heels allows the silhouette of any woman to be enhanced, Especially if she has chosen one of the various designs which feature trains; these designs require that elegant turn of the ankle that can only be accomplished with a pair of designer heels in a matching hue. The addition of an elegant handbag will finish off your outfit perfectly. Of course, every lady, no matter her age knows that simplicity is the right decision when it comes to accessories for a designer gown. Landa Dresses are such creations of perfection that they need little adornment to showcase the woman wearing them.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- When I told friends I was planning a trip to Birmingham, the reaction was universal.
"Alabama?" one asked. "On purpose?"
I shared their skepticism, viewing the travel literature with the jaundiced eye of a longtime Californian who puzzled over the concept of vacationing in the South. But I was flying here for a business meeting, so why not take some extra time and look around?
It's not the oldest or most storied city in the South. But Birmingham has a complex history that includes post-Civil War industrialization, the corruption of an establishment that planned to carry out that industrialization with nonunionized and African American labor and, decades later, its role as a staging ground in the fight for basic human rights.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of some of the most important events in the civil rights movement, and many of them took place in Birmingham: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter From Birmingham Jail"; Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor's use of attack dogs and fire hoses against peaceful demonstrators, many of them children; and the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church that killed four young girls.
Official Birmingham is embracing this anniversary with a year of photo and museum exhibitions, concerts, plays, symposiums, festivals, workshops and the National Conference on Civil Rights. I scheduled an extra day at the beginning and the end of my meetings to see the city's historic core, visiting the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and other places that helped me understand the city's legacy.
After a few short days, I found myself becoming a banner carrier for Birmingham: Anyone who cares about U.S. history should plan a trip here.
Downtown's Tutwiler hotel makes a good starting point. The original building was torn down in the 1970s, but with a boost from private and government grants, the Tutwiler family transformed the 1914 Ridgely Apartments into a new Tutwiler hotel — with attractive rooms, a restaurant that pays attention to food and a bar that serves a nice selection of cocktails.
On my first morning here, I left the Tutwiler and headed down Sixth Avenue North on my way to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, a 58,000-square-foot facility with exhibition space, meeting rooms, multimedia presentations and an extensive oral history collection with more than 500 interviews. Every few hundred yards on Sixth Avenue, I stopped to read the markers along the Civil Rights Heritage Trail, signs with photos and quotes that commemorate significant locations on march routes.
The markers lead to Kelly Ingram Park, a 4-acre green space with statues and sculptures — some in welded steel, others in limestone or bronze — that commemorate and, in some cases, depict the civil rights movement and the city's notorious response: police dogs, fire hoses, jail time.
I followed a group of fourth-graders into the handsome domed lobby of the Civil Rights Institute. "Hope this doesn't wreck it for you," a teacher said, smiling ruefully. In truth, their reactions to mid-20th century events enhanced the experience. I trailed the students, waiting to see what engaged them.
Many of the exhibits were designed to re-create life in Birmingham when Jim Crow laws determined how people would function in the segregated city. Displays include a replica of a burned-out bus that had carried Freedom Riders and timelines that track the progress of the civil rights movement. Some of the fourth-graders lingered to read enlargements of newspaper clippings and quotes from leaders of that movement. They halted, a few of them bewildered, in front of a replica of segregated classrooms.

Yesterday's phone call made me angry. But anger is good, I needed to feel angry. Without anger I wouldn't have acted. Had that call come on a bad day it would have been catastrophic.
I could have so easily have been left with a feeling of real despair, and believe me it was bubbling under the surface and fighting to take over. They can't help me. No advice, no plan for what to do next, nothing. They simply turned me away in a single breath.
Rather than crawling back into bed, hiding from the world and feeling alone with no one on my side I called my GP and made an emergency appointment for this morning.
'IAPT won't help me. I need help' I told my doctor after over an hours wait in a crowded, sniffling waiting room. He didn't understand. I had got to him before they had sent through the notes from our conversation. He deduced that it must be down to me scoring too highly.
There is a fine line, he said. They can't help you if you score to low or if you score too highly. 'I was just honest' I said.
They didn't tell me I am beyond help, or in fact offer any explanation at all as to why they have firmly crossed my name off their list.
'I'm going to refer you to the mental health team' my doctor said, typing quickly and not looking up. He told me that they're the next step up from IAPT, that they will work more closely with me, that it's anther route to help and that I should be assigned a key worker.
I filled in another two forms, marking myself out of ten all over again. I answered his questions, saying things out loud that cause a hot, sweet lump to form in the back of my throat. It makes them real. It makes me sad.
My medication has been increased again. Tapping away at the keys my doctor explained that as I have already been unresponsive to two other types of antidepressant this is my last chance. If these higher dose tablets do nothing for me then medication is ruled out.
He asked how the tablets make me feel, whether they make me drowsy like they should do. I'm to take these new ones at 7pm when I should feel spaced and not of this world until they kick in properly at around midnight and make me want to sleep. I will then have the hangover to contend with, in the same way that I do now.
Nothing wakes me, no alarm clock, no loud protests from Beans over the monitor. The husband has to psychically shake and shake me until I slowly come round. It's true, he videoed me once, fast asleep and unresponsive to being used as a one year olds climbing frame, oblivious to shouts and music and voices.
The hangover from the new meds will be worse. It will last longer and possibly make it harder for me to come around once I am actually awake.
I'm resigned to feeling normal only for the few hours a day that the tablets allow, at least on a bad day I will only have to deal with a small chunk of reality. I am glad that I am being referred to someone else.
My doctor explains that I will need to go through another assessment with the new team before any plan of action is drawn up. It is possible that they could refuse to help me too.
The thing that is resonating though is how much everything that I have is balanced on a knife edge. Yesterday I was told that I was not 'unwell enough' to receive help. Everything could have come crashing down; it left me feeling so alone, so unheard and uncared for. So lost. Today I am told that I am 'too unwell'. No one really knows because no one listens.
I don't have much more fight left in me.

headline could have been ripped from the pages of a Galveston
newspaper, circa 2003.
Today marks the fifth anniversary of
the day real estate heir Robert Durst
not only escaped the death penalty for killing his neighbor but avoided
punishment altogether, receiving an acquittal despite a gruesome
This headline is more recent, however. It refers to a case in New Hampshire, where a jury last week: convicted businessman John Brooks
of murder for hire and murder during a kidnapping, confirmed that his
crime involved several aggravating factors, and declined to impose the
death penalty.
Kirsten Wilson commented philosophically, "The law is set up in a way that makes it
incredibly difficult to sentence someone to death, and it should be
that way."
Her statement alone would tell you this is not a Texas case -- especially not one from Harris County.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court
opened the door for executions to resume with Gregg v. Georgia in 1976,
Texas has eclipsed all other states in manifesting its enthusiasm for
the ruling, carrying out nearly 4 out of every 10 executions.
Unless Durst's mountainous wealth is taken into account, the laissez-faire outcome of his 2003 trial is an anomaly for Texas, which this year is on track to carry out 20 executions -- more than half of
the U.S. total. No millionaires are among them. Harris County was the source for so
many of these bodies and bodies-to-be, Houston's home county
may very well end 2008 as the point of origin for more executed
prisoners than any state, besides Texas, of course.
The assembly-line pace of executions in Texas belies the fact that nine inmates have been freed from its death row after being found innocent and two have received clemency.
those who declare that Texas has enough checks to make an unjustified
execution highly unlikely might feel less blustery if asked to declare it the 11 former denizens of death row. A system full of
safeguards can kill an innocent person more easily than it can
eliminate error and bias.
Common sense and statistics both say
that wealth, social status, the race of the killer, the race of the
victim, and wealth -- did I say "wealth"? -- are significant factors in determining whether a convicted
killer gets the death penalty or is allowed to live.
In editorializing about Brooks' sentencing, the Concord, N.H., Monitor recalled that the U.S. Supreme Court
in 1972 declared it "incontestable" that the death penalty would
be unconstitutionally cruel and unusual if imposed with any consideration of the "race, religion, wealth, social position or
class" of a defendant.
"But the decision to kill in the name of the state or to
spare someone found guilty of a capital crime is made by human beings,"
the editorial mused. "Prejudice, conscious or unconscious,
will always be present. The death penalty can never be administered
equally, and thus should not be administered at all."
words, though perhaps wasted in a state like New Hampshire where the death penalty option
has gone unused since 1976. Maybe the editorial should be republished
in a state or county whose prosecutors seem to spend less time
pondering their own fallibility.
Dudley Sharp | 12/11/2008, 07:48
Texas is hardly an assembly line death penalty process.
On average, it takes about ten years of appeals to reach the executioner in Texas. 10 years.
On innocents released from death row, you need to revisit those 11 Texas "innocents". It turns out that about 80% of those that the anti death penalty folks calims are "innocent", they have no proof for the claim. 80%.
In a recent study, by Duke Law, it was determined that Texas was in about the middle of death penalty states, when it came to executions per murder.
and on wealth and race, we have:
Racial issues
White murderers are twice as likely to be executed in the US as are black murderers and are executed, on average, 12 months more quickly than are black death row inmates.
It is often stated that it is the race of the victim which decides who is prosecuted in death penalty cases. Although blacks and whites make up about an equal number of murder victims, capital cases are 6 times more likely to involve white victim murders than black victim murders. This, so the logic goes, is proof that the US only cares about white victims.
Hardly. Only capital murders, not all murders, are subject to a capital indictment. Generally, a capital murder is limited to murders plus secondary aggravating factors, such as murders involving burglary, carjacking, rape, and additional murders, such as police murders, serial and multiple murders. White victims are, overwhelmingly, the victims under those circumstances, in ratios nearly identical to the cases found on death row.
Any other racial combinations of defendants and/or their victims in death penalty cases, is a reflection of the crimes committed and not any racial bias within the system, as confirmed by studies from the Rand Corporation (1991), Smith College (1994), U of Maryland (2002), New Jersey Supreme Court (2003) and by a view of criminal justice statistics, within a framework of the secondary aggravating factors necessary for capital indictments.
Class issues
No one disputes that wealthier defendants can hire better lawyers and, therefore, should have a legal advantage over their poorer counterparts. The US has executed about 0.15% of all murderers since new death penalty statutes were enacted in 1973. Is there evidence that wealthier capital murderers are less likely to be executed than their poorer ilk, based upon the proportion of capital murders committed by different those different economic groups? Not to my knowledge.

The Death Penalty Provides More Protection for Innocents
Dudley Sharp, Justice Matters, contact info below
Often, the death penalty dialogue gravitates to the subject of innocents at risk of execution. Seldom is a more common problem reviewed. That is, how innocents are more at risk without the death penalty.
To state the blatantly clear, living murderers, in prison, after release or escape, are much more likely to harm and murder, again, than are executed murderers.
Although an obvious truism, it is surprising how often folks overlook the enhanced incapacitation benefits of the death penalty over incarceration.
No knowledgeable and honest party questions that the death penalty has the most extensive due process protections in US criminal law.
Therefore, actual innocents are more likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment and more likely to die in prison serving under that sentence, that it is that an actual innocent will be executed.
That is. logically, conclusive.
16 recent studies, inclusive of their defenses, find for death penalty deterrence.
A surprise? No.
Life is preferred over death. Death is feared more than life.
Some believe that all studies with contrary findings negate those 16 studies. They don't. Studies which don't find for deterrence don't say no one is deterred, but that they couldn't measure those deterred.
What prospect of a negative outcome doesn't deter some? There isn't one . . . although committed anti death penalty folk may say the death penalty is the only one.
However, the premier anti death penalty scholar accepts it as a given that the death penalty is a deterrent, but does not believe it to be a greater deterrent than a life sentence. Yet, the evidence is compelling and un refuted that death is feared more than life.
Some death penalty opponents argue against death penalty deterrence, stating that it's a harsher penalty to be locked up without any possibility of getting out.
Reality paints a very different picture.
What percentage of capital murderers seek a plea bargain to a death sentence? Zero or close to it. They prefer long term imprisonment.
What percentage of convicted capital murderers argue for execution in the penalty phase of their capital trial? Zero or close to it. They prefer long term imprisonment.
What percentage of death row inmates waive their appeals and speed up the execution process? Nearly zero. They prefer long term imprisonment.
This is not, even remotely, in dispute.
Life is preferred over death. Death is feared more than life.
Furthermore, history tells us that lifers have many ways to get out: Pardon, commutation, escape, clerical error, change in the law, etc.
In choosing to end the death penalty, or in choosing not implement it, some have chosen to spare murderers at the cost of sacrificing more innocent lives.
Furthermore, possibly we have sentenced 25 actually innocent people to death since 1973, or 0.3% of those so sentenced. Those have all been released upon post conviction review. The anti death penalty claims, that the numbers are significantly higher, are a fraud, easily discoverable by fact checking.
The innocents deception of death penalty opponents has been getting exposure for many years. Even the behemoth of anti death penalty newspapers, The New York Times, has recognized that deception.
To be sure, 30 or 40 categorically innocent people have been released from death row . . . (1) This when death penalty opponents were claiming the release of 119 "innocents" from death row. Death penalty opponents never required actual innocence in order for cases to be added to their "exonerated" or "innocents" list. They simply invented their own definitions for exonerated and innocent and deceptively shoe horned large numbers of inmates into those definitions - something easily discovered with fact checking.
There is no proof of an innocent executed in the US, at least since 1900.
If we accept that the best predictor of future performance is past performance, we can, reasonably, conclude that the DNA cases will be excluded prior to trial, and that for the next 8000 death sentences, that we will experience a 99.8% accuracy rate in actual guilt convictions. This improved accuracy rate does not include the many additional safeguards that have been added to the system, over and above DNA testing.
Of all the government programs in the world, that put innocents at risk, is there one with a safer record and with greater protections than the US death penalty?

Dear Mr. Sharp,
Thank you for your comments. I respect your opinions and your right to voice them.
Please allow me to clarify, and ask about, some possible misunderstandings reflected in your first set of comments:
1. I used the term "assembly-line" to describe the rapid-fire rate of executions in Texas in 2008. The issue you cite, of the interval between conviction and execution, is not mentioned.
2. I'm interested in learning more about the data you refer to about death-row innocents. Where may I read more? Does the information refer specifically to the Texas 11 that I mention?
3. Over the years, the Duke Law journal, Law and Contemporary Problems, has presented a range of research about capital punishment and wrongful conviction. May I ask which study you mean?
4. Ditto on any references for studies showing a lack of racial or class bias in the death penalty system. I'm more familiar with research showing that being black is a de facto "aggravating factor" in predicting a death sentence by a jury.
5. I don't know if U.S. Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had the benefit of the data you mention on proportionality of wealthy versus poor murderers among those executed. But she says, "I have yet to see a death case among the dozen coming to the Supreme Court on eve-of-execution stay applications in which the defendant was well represented at trial... People who are well represented at trial do not get the death penalty."
NickS | 11/03/2010, 04:48
As for me I'm glad that the man escaped death penalty because I'm against death penalties. But the thing that he escaped any punishment indicated that the court is corrupted. Not long ago I've seen a documentary about the judicial power in different countries (Found it at rapidshare SE http://rapidpedia.com ). As for me, I like the Civil Right more.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "... mineral-inflected lemon peel, menthol and spiced pear aromas…good richness but also fi ne detail to the rich, full and delicious middle weight flavor... mouth coating and balanced finish. This is pretty and complex."
Cellar/Tasting Notes An appealing, rather crisp, red fruit nose here, with some rather obvious sweet oak showing alongside. A well composed, somewhat traditional structure, with some admittedly rather ripe, supple tannins which sit well with the fruit, which has a light feel to it. Moderate acidity.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The Beaune Grèves Le Clos Blanc Premier Cru is an unusual rare and rather exotic white wine. It is full, rich and spicy, with broad fruit flavours and exceptional depth offset by notes of almonds, earth and gently toasted oak. This exceptional wine can be drunk with fish in white sauce,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The Les Drazeys has a very nice dark ruby colour with an open and attractive nose, rather classic but complex and "unusual" at the same time. It has a well balanced structure on the palate with soft tannins, lively aromas, nice rhythm, and nice Côte de Nuits architecture. ..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very subtle touch of wood frames very fresh and again, admirably pure aromas of acacia blossom, spiced pear and green apple nuances. There is good volume and mid-palate density to the generous, sappy and seductively textured middle weight flavors that offer fine complexity on the mildly austere..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This red from Provence has great distinction, with subtle aromas and an extremely complex bouquet permeating through a deep ruby red color. Robust, rich in noble tannins, this wine has good aging potential.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A powerfully ripe wine, with pure black currant flavors over soft, polished tannins. The wood balance is exemplary, offering just the right lift. Touches of cinnamon and vanilla give an extra dimension."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The colour is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes At maturity, the 2011 Meursault's palate and nose are explosive; a large range of aromas are expressed, such as honey, exotic fruits, butter, hazelnut, grilled almond, yellow fruit, aniseed and toffee
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Gevrey Chambertin has a brilliant dark ruby colour. The expressive and complex nose has aromas of red fruits with woody notes. The same aromas are also evident on the palate which are well enveloped by delicately blended tannins. This Gevrey Chambertin is perfectly balanced..

It arrived yesterday and our boys LOVE it. It's a simple yet brilliant solution for the Lego mess. Thank you.
Ann Flaherty, Cincinnati, Ohio
We purchased two of your boxes for our daughters two boys and their legos. The boxes have been received by our daughter and she writes to me today saying the "boxes are awesome and will make cleanup so much quicker and easier". Just thought you might like to have a confirmation.
Donald Robinson, The Villages, Florida
Just wanted to let you know that I received my Box4Blox! And we LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I will be ordering more! My son was ecstatic to have something he could finally use to organize his many Legos…and Mommy is thrilled to not have to help searching endlessly for missing blocks!
Truly great product!
Thanks so much,

Northern Kentucky will have two members of its delegation in the leadership of the Kentucky Senate
The Kentucky Senate Republican Caucus on Tuesday elected State Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, as Republican floor leader and re-elected State Sen. Katie Stine, R-Southgate, to her position as Senate president pro tem. The current Senate floor leader, Sen. Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, will succeed David Williams as Senate President.
Stine welcomed another Northern Kentucky representative at the leadership table.
"It will nice to have somebody else sitting at the last step of the budget besides just myself," said Stine, who has served as Senate president pro tem since 2005 and ran unopposed for the position this time. "So that will be a definite advantage."
Thayer's district includes southern Kenton County and Grant County. As floor leader, he will serve as spokesperson for the party's position on issues and schedule business on the floor of the Senate.
"We have to recognize the fact that we are here to craft policy for the entire state," Thayer said. "I think Northern Kentucky has done quite well with the members from the region who serve in the Senate. I also represent central Kentucky as well and live in central Kentucky…I do think it shows Northern Kentucky has had a lot of increase of influence over the last 10 years."
Williams appointment in November by Gov. Steve Beshear to a circuit court judgeship led to jockeying by Republican senators for leadership openings.
The full Senate must still approve the elections when it convenes in January, but many expect it will since the Republicans control the Senate.
The senators didn't speculate on how the new leadership will affect specific issues.
Williams and Gov. Steve Beshear had a contentious relationship, and tension ran high after Beshear defeated Williams in the 2011 gubernatorial race.
Stivers said the Senate wants dialogue with both sides but wouldn't say how the new Senate leadership will differ from the old one. He said there will be differences in style but not in core beliefs.
"We all have different styles," Stivers said. "People will have to draw judgements based on how they see I work with the Damon Thayer vs. the way David worked with me…But I think the people know that David and I have differing styles, but this core group here, we have the same core beliefs."
Whether the new Senate leadership will have an impact on expanded gambling also remains to be seen.
The Senate in this year's session voted down the effort to amend the state constitution to allow for people to vote whether casinos could open at race tracks. Thayer led the efforts for the amendment.
"That's something the leadership and caucus is going to discuss," Thayer said. "That issue shows no signs of going away. I believe we have some really big issues we have to deal with of critical importance."
The General Assembly has many other issues it will consider in the short, 30-day session that begins Jan. 8, Thayer said. Issues include legislative redistricting, tax and pension reform and oversight to special taxing districts.
The Republican caucus took about three hours to elect its leadership but wouldn't divulge the vote totals.
Newly-elected senator Chris McDaniel, R-Taylor Mill, expressed optimism after the vote.
"It was a good process," McDaniel said. "Everybody got to present their case. Good people were elected into leadership, and I couldn't be happier. I think there are big issues facing state. I hope they can bring some bipartisan agreement and move some of these serious issues forward."

And no way is that Alfa Brera the best or most desirable car. Had one on loan a few months ago, and it doesn't drive anywhere near what you'd expect a £30k coupe to drive like.
Dunno about that, but he should be put down.That cock has done more damage to the image of a British man than any football hoolie or BNP skin head could ever dream of.
what has he done?
Got a blowie of a fugly hooker?
Stared in a procession of shite films that leave the rest of the world thinking we're a bunch of dithering idiots.
Alfa's rule! Easily the best looking, which is the most important feature.
I am beginning to forgive you for all previous faults
As the owner of a Toyota Pious it pains me to say it but Clarkson is fucking funny.His 'mobile as bloke falling down the stairs with calipers' impression made me cough a carrot out of my nose.
Too right, and his "I'm gonna stick a 2v battery in a Hummer and call it a hybrid" line!
They're still there Brad, trust me.
Fifth Gear has had Tim Lovejoy presenting it and there ends the argument.
Chrisakes!!!! Lets get one thing straight.As a proper car programme, Fifth Gear is absolutely lightyears ahead of Top Gear. You only have to look at any of the road tests they do. The Z4M/Cayenne or the S2000/R-Type tests were classic examples. Their knowledge, technical expertise, and driving abilities (2 former BTCC drivers, and 1 ex-rally driver) put them miles ahead of old pot belly Clarkson and his raggedy crew. And for the record, Jeremy Clarkson knows absolutely fuck all about cars (as his Sunday Times column will testify).As an entertainment programme, Top Gear is alot more popular. But its for the mainstream masses who aren't so much interested in cars but the basic 'oooh ahhh' entertainment value. They're the sort of people who think a Ford Escort with a spoiler on the back of it is a great car. You only have to look at the sketches they do such as the exploding caravan sketch, and the 'build a stone fireplace and chimney' in the back of a car to know its not even a remotely serious car programme.And Top Gear is scripted, pre-produced, and edited to death to make it look vaguely entertaining. Recorded live my fucking arse. So in yer face Top Gearites!
I like balls.
Even if you do its repeated on wednesday at 7
Cheers for bumping the thread. I'd almost forgotten about it.
Emlyn, you were a very bad influence on my younger brother in Barcelona! I don't know what you gave him but he was a nuisance the entire day, have banned him from Eindhoven!
How can you forget about top gear on a Sunday night!
I have a man cold.
You reckon you'll make it through the night? I feel your pain man.

'Vampire Diaries' Star calls Robert Pattinson "A young James Dean"

SHE does not know that many people know that he's a free thinker, easy-going, casual, very funny, etc.
Why do you think there are thousands of RobSessors? - October 5, 2009 at 1:52 AM
- JLD said...
Lets hope Rob hangs around longer than James did. I hope that he has people around him that'll looked after him so that he doesn't join the long list of young stars that have died to early.
This is what worries me about all the attention surrounding him is that it can be dangerous. Those hotel pictures were awful. People need to let him be it's not fair.
Other actors whom I think are similar to Rob are Robert Redford, Johnny Depp and Heath Ledger. - October 5, 2009 at 2:18 AM
- RPlover said...
I hope that he's a level-headed as he seems...I think that even though he's kind of a barfly, he can be trusted to be responsible for himself.
The only thing I worry about is the fact that too much papp attention can create dangerous situations, and we all know how much attention he gets!
Stay safe, Rob. we <3 you. - October 5, 2009 at 2:22 AM

should be "as level-headed" :)

As much as i adore Rob,i'm against comparing him with big Hollywood legends like James Dean and Marlon Brando.They both stared in huge movies that are still classical 50 years after.Rob has a very small body of work.I know that these comparisons are for commercial reasons and i'm sure that Rob feels akward about this.He has his own personality and way of thinking.
- October 5, 2009 at 6:31 AM
- marina mia said...
She's 24 years old. How can she even compare Rob to James Dean? None of us can and if we did its based on what we've seen in the movies; the hair, the clothes, that 'brooding' look.
The James Dean thing has been done to death. Johnny Depp went through it when he first started too. Only thing you can hope is that Rob has the stellar career Depp has too. I believe he will. - October 5, 2009 at 6:59 AM
- sunflower0674 said...
I always thought Rob reminded me more of a young Johnny Depp as opposed to James Dean. There have been several photo shoots in which they have tried to depict him as James Dean-ish (I think one was the Rolling Stone/US Magazine photo shoot).
The worrying over the drinking - there isn't as much of a stigma attached to drinking in England (or all of Europe for that matter). I think he knows what he is doing.
I do agree that the pics of him recently when he has been out and about are bad. He looks so tired and so burnt out on people constantly fussing over him.
I just hope he doesn't get sick of it all and quit! - October 5, 2009 at 7:16 AM
- Elektra said...
Seriously, I think the comparison with James Dean is pretty fair... James Dean was charming and hot. And might have had a good career.
Though, I am with you: let's hope that Rob stays around a lot longer... - October 5, 2009 at 7:38 AM
- JandR said...
I'm sure I heard Rob say in one of his interviews that he modelled his american accent on James Dean and Jack Nicholson (his fave actor)...?? Anyone else remember this?
And hell yeah - first few pics I saw of him I thought he was Elvis and James Dean reincarnated in the one body with just a touch of Brando for good measure!
Rob is a one-off - a multi-talented and unique individual - he will never be what others are and doesn't need to try - but we can all hope to see him rise to his full potential whether that be in acting or music or both - i just want to see him make choices that make him happy cos he deserves it!! - October 5, 2009 at 8:02 AM

Another Shameful attempt at self promotion,
this Vamp Diaries kid read the memo,
he knows the drill,
talk about Rob get noticed to promote your crappy show,
next time come up with something original kid. - October 5, 2009 at 8:52 AM
- rpattzgirl said...
my thoughts exactly! Really? You don't think we know these things about this man?
Rob is Rob-and Jandr I do remember him saying about the American accent. He was worried about not pulling it off so he kept watching the movies to practice...
Morning! - October 5, 2009 at 9:20 AM
- Haystackhair said...
they are SO trying to make that guy in VD look like Robward. Not even close. LOL
- October 5, 2009 at 9:21 AM
- Keri_Anne said...
the only reason there is the james dean comparison out there is because Rob said that is who he channeled for the Edward Cullen voice. otherwise no one would think of this.
- October 5, 2009 at 9:59 AM
- RPaddict said...
Morning all!
This is kind of random, but the comparisons to Johnny Depp and Reading the Holloween party in EP got me phantasizing about seeing Rob in a pirate outfit like Orlando Bloom wore in the last Pirates of the Caribbien.
As far as the vamp diaries, the evil brother is better looking and more interesting than the main character. I've only watched the show twice ans lost interest. - October 5, 2009 at 10:08 AM
- JandR said...
Keri_Anne - that's what it was. I knew I'd heard him say something about James Dean and the accent for Edward! Thanks!
Hi RPG - glad you are safely home...just remember next time you go a Rob-hunting in Vancouver...(and there WILL be a next time!) take someone who is gonna stay the distance! Me of course...:-D - October 5, 2009 at 10:16 AM
- Athena said...
Dani: Word! Physically there might be similarities and Rob said himself that James Dean was an insipration for his performance as Edward, if I remember correctly... but I do hope that the likeness stops there!
I saw the Vampire Diaries yesterday for the first time and I liked it (for different reasons than True Blood). I found it rather Twilight-ish and the main female character looks like the idea of Bella I had in my mind while I was reading the books. Not saying Kristen is not a good choice, though :). - October 5, 2009 at 4:45 PM
- ghostgirl said...
stop!!with the freakin comparisons...it's too early to compare rob with another actors...I'm not bashing rob I'm 100%sure he's a talented actor but he doesn't have too many movies to star makin these kind of statements people need to calm down and enjoy his future projects I feel like there's too much presion and anticipation on rob ...
- October 5, 2009 at 5:22 PM
- Shani said...
If I'm remembering correctly besides using James Dean as an inspiration for Edward...Rob tried acting like him to get girls.
And I looked up Kayla and she is the ex girlfriend of Kellan...They were together in 08. - October 5, 2009 at 6:30 PM

Howdy Beowulfers & others. I have a small problem on my Scyld setup. I am using 10'pc's just to see if it would be interesing to use scyld for our next cluster or not. We are running a lot of Fluent simulations. I have no problem spawning jobs onto the nodes (i think). But i get a "gethostbyname" error. And that is correct when i try to do bpsh 0 hostname -f or -s or -i i get a lot of errors. I have added the entry that executes 'hostname node0' in the node_up script but i must be missing something vital. I hope that the hostname issue is the only problem i will have, but since i havent gotten any further i dont know. Is anyone out there running fluent or similar apps on Scyld? If its not possible to run them diskless i might as well go back to the setup i have on the other cluster and use it again atleast i know how that stuff works 100%, or i can run mosix. Sorry for rambeling but i have been tackling this problem for the last 11 hours and now im heading home for food and a bath. Ill get back into it tomorrow morning so i hope someone that has an answer for me works on saturdays :( Best regards //Andreas ********************************************************* * Administator of Amy and Sfinx(Iris23) * * * * Voice: 070-7294401 * * ICQ: 12030399 * * Email: andreas at shtu.htu.se, boklund at linux.nu * * * * That is how you find me, How do -I- find you ? * *********************************************************

The island's motor sport volunteers have been praised by competitors and organisers following the Barbados Rally Club Summer Nights Tarmac Stages on Saturday, August 11, which was run in worsening conditions in the north of the island. Despite the Club's best efforts, the event was abandoned after four of the six planned stages.
Paul Bourne and Mark Kinch (Ford Focus WRC07) were the winners of round seven of the BRC Virgin Atlantic Championship, leading home Roger Skeete and Louis Venezia (Subaru Impreza WRC S12) by a margin of 30 seconds.
Bourne, who was fastest on all four stages said: "Everything went well. I was more bothered with the dark than the wet, perhaps I need some night vision goggles."
Afterwards Skeete, who had been suffering from anti-lag and launch control issues, said: "Congrats to Paul Bourne and Mark Kinch – well done in difficult conditions. Even more so to the organisers and marshals, who were standing in the rain from start to finish. At times the rain was horizontal, they must all have been soaked to the skin. We could not go rallying without your considerable efforts. Thanks!"
His comments were echoed by BRC Competition Secretary and Modified 6 winner Neil Corbin, who said: "Thanks to all involved, especially the marshals who braved out the weather, Stage Commander Jeff Bovell and Deputy Michael Hinkson."
Clerk of the Course Neil Barnard expanded on the reasons for cutting the event short: "First, thanks to all the officials, marshals, Island Constables and security that had to contend with some extremely difficult conditions. Despite the constant drizzle, most marshals were able to function in their posts, but when the rain really started to come down around nine o'clock it became unrealistic for some of them to carry out their functions exposed to the bad weather and they retreated to their parked vehicles. This created a couple issues of members of the public trying to drive onto the stage.
"Additionally, even though we provided them with raincoats, the start and finish marshals were very exposed, as there were no sides to their tents. To their credit they did not abandon their positions, but there was also a real danger of some of the computer equipment being damaged in both those locations.
"Based on the combination of issues we decided that the overall situation was becoming somewhat dangerous and we opted to cancel the remaining two stages. As usual the decision was made with the safety of the travelling public, the spectators and the competitors, in mind, particularly the public."
Roger Hill (Toyota Corolla WRC) finished third, with Neil Armstrong fourth, top two-wheel-drive and SuperModified 10 winner in the Toyota Starlet.
Others to clock top six times included Group N contenders Geoff Noel (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX) and Andrew Mallalieu (Impreza N10), who beat Noel by three seconds, SM11 winner Logan Watson (BMW M3) and Virgin Atlantic Championship leader Daryl Clarke (Honda Civic), who finished fifth overall, winning Modified 7. He said: "The rain suited me as I was getting good grip. We were a second or two off Josh Read and Neil Armstrong, so we were definitely having a good night."
Read slipped out of the overall running on the final stage, when his Starlet refused to start, apparently with water in the distributor. Up to then, he had been enjoying himself: "I was cautious because it was the very first time using full wets but then I found out that I should be even more committed because of the grip generated by the tires. After the wrecker ride home, the car started without any issue."
Read's woes promoted Ralph White (Starlet) to second in SM10, with Paul Horton of the Turks & Caicos Islands third in his Ford Escort MkI, tackling a Barbados stage in the rain for the first time.
The top 10 was completed by Martin Atwell, who finished just eight seconds behind Watson in the battle for SM11, despite what he described as a "character-building" first experience of his rear-wheel-drive M3 in the wet, and M7 runner-up Adrian Linton, whose slick tyres made for what he called a "challenging and exciting event".

7th Annual Japan Foundation Film Series: Young Starlets of Japanese Cinemas
Presented by the Center for Asian Pacific Studies, the Institute of Cinema and Culture, UI International Programs and the Japan Foundation
Yuki Tanada takes the road movie to a completely off-the-beaten-path track, tuning into the fears and dreams of the devil-may-care freeter generation and the universal yearnings of young people with few friends and no jobs.
The film is the hopelessly endearing exile story of ne'er-do-well 21-year-old Suzuko (Aoi Yu, Hula Girl), an impossibly endearing type who is herself, somewhat hopeless, but also wise to the ways of the world and by no means dumb enough to be happy with her lot.
After a bad pick of roommate lands her a brief stay at the police station, Suzuko decides that enough is enough: she hits the road alone with a tiny suitcase, a determined but restless heart, and a mission: save ¥1 million ($10,000), go away… repeat. Hopping from place to place, she ekes out a living taking on different temp jobs. As she crosses paths with various people whose lives she changes, will love finally come her way?
Directed by Tanada Yuki
Starring Yu Aoi, Mirai Moriyama and Pierre Taki
Japanese w/English subtitles
121 min, 35 mm
