Protection of Wages – Employer's contractual right to amend pay structuresThursday, February 18th, 2010
In a judgement delivered on 11 February 2010, the London Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) ruled that, in the case Bateman and Others v Asda Stores Ltd, the employer was entitled to change and impose new pay structures without the express consent of individual employees, based on a clearly expressed term in the staff handbook.
In August 2007, Asda Stores had sought to move some 18,000 employees from an earlier pay structure to a new structure which, in some cases, reduced their rates of pay. Following extensive consultation, some 9,300 employees transferred voluntarily to the new regime and the remaining 8,700 employees were moved involuntarily. About 700 employees brought claims in the Employment Tribunal on the basis that they had suffered unauthorised deductions from wages under the provisions of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Six test claimants had their case heard by an Employment Tribunal but the decision went against them. They appealed to the EAT.
The "Colleague Handbook", part of the employees' contractual terms and conditions, contained the following statement:
"The Company reserves the right to review, revise, amend or replace the content of this handbook, and introduce new policies from time to time to reflect the changing needs of the business and to comply with new legislation."
In its decision, the Employment Tribunal had stated:
"[Asda] acted in this case in pursuance of a clear and unambiguous power to vary contractual terms. The Tribunal has considered carefully how the clause should be interpreted, in view of its wide-ranging effect, but it is entirely unambiguous. However unusual and broad this power was, and however unfettered, the Tribunal has no doubt that it permitted the respondent as a matter of contract to do what it did…. There is no contention that [Asda] acted capriciously, or arbitrarily, or in any way which breached mutual trust and confidence, in imposing [the new regime] in August 2007."
The EAT agreed in full with the Employment Tribunal's analysis of the situation and dismissed the appeal.

Using Linux in medical devices is becoming common-practice, but there are important factors which developers and manufacturers need to consider. writes Ken Herold, senior systems engineer at Wind River
Linux is the operating system (OS) of choice for a wide range of medical devices, from vital sign monitors to hospital bedside 'infotainment' systems to complex imaging equipment. Yet not all Linux implementations are alike. Because patients' lives may be in the balance, software used in medical devices must meet stringent regulatory guidelines to ensure that it will perform as promised.
Trying to cobble together solutions from pure Linux without commercial support puts the burdens of testing, validation, documentation and compliance on the device manufacturers and software developers – an onerous, time consuming and complex process that can turn 'free' Linux into a very costly proposition.
There are, of course, commercial vendors of Linux who provide value-added stabilised versions of the open-source software, along with board support packages. Service, support and documentation levels, however, vary widely among them with some chip vendors providing software, but no real post-sales support.
The Advantages and Challenges of Open Source
Linux appears in various medical devices and as a general-purpose OS, it has all the advantages of open source. Free distributions are available and it can be modified and redistributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Linux has been widely adopted and scrutinised by many experienced developers. Linux is also supported by all major hardware manufacturers and runs on virtually any processor. It also has a large ecosystem of board and software providers that use proven toolchains and application programming interfaces (APIs), and has exceptional graphics support, which is important for clear and readable device screens. The innovation and maturity of Linux has made it a mainstay in medical device development, but it also poses many challenges.
Medical devices marketed in the US are regulated by the Center for Device and Radiological Health (CDRH), a branch of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA is recognized globally as providing the leading guidance for medical devices, which European manufacturers need to follow to sell product in the US. Whether or not the device maker is claiming compliance to IEC 62304 for medical device software, it must follow several FDA guidance documents.
An OS may be treated as Software of Unknown Provenance (SOUP) or off-the-shelf (OTS) software. The FDA also makes it clear that the burden of ensuring safe and reliable performance does not end with product launch. So, when evaluating operating systems, it is necessary to plan for bug fixes and security updates for the entire product lifecycle.
Medical devices and their components must undergo a hazard analysis, typically performed by the device manufacturer – not to try and predict a likelihood of failure, but to analyse the effect on the patient in the event of failure. The FDA sets out full details in its "Guidance for Industry, FDA Reviewers and Compliance on Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices". Choosing a commercial Linux vendor that can help a device maker satisfy these requirements is essential.
Cybersecurity: Assuring the Safety of Networked Devices
If Linux based medical device are being used in networks, then the FDA's guidance on cybersecurity applies: "Guidance for Industry – Cybersecurity for Networked Medical Devices Containing Off-the-Shelf (OTS) Software." In basic terms, it states that networks are vulnerable to hacking and the manufacturer must have a software-maintenance plan to deal with networking vulnerabilities, specifying that formal business relationships should be maintained with OTS software vendors to ensure timely receipt of information concerning quality problems and recommended corrective and preventive actions.
If a commercial Linux vendor does not enter into formal support relationships with its customers or does not have an on-going cybersecurity plan in place, the burden falls upon the device manufacturer to monitor the Linux community, identify vulnerabilities and take necessary action – this requires a dedicated and highly specialised team.
If security functionality is not a core competency of the device manufacturer, it is critical to have an OS vendor to assist with the configuration of the security components of the network stack. Manufacturers need to be especially vigilant in the face of growing malware attacks such as the Stuxnet worm.
Device manufacturers have to decide what level of security is appropriate. In devices where prevention of any kind of breach is mission critical, manufacturers may want the added assurance of security functionality built into the OS.
Support for Implementation
There are also practical concerns of building a device that is reliable in performance and successful in meeting market needs:
• High-quality test tools are crucial and being able to show validation artifacts for those tools is also a requirement. Using an automated testing system that automatically creates the documentation of the testing performed may deliver time-to-market advantages over manual systems, while reducing the likelihood of human error and increasing confidence in the results.
• It is also essential to comply with the requirements of the GPL and other applicable open-source licenses.
• Board Support Packages (BSPs) are essential in implementing embedded operating systems, including Linux. Few manufacturers are equipped to develop BSPs in-house and creating customised BSPs can be extremely costly.
In multicore system development, simplifying the design while still gaining the performance advantages of multiple processors and operating systems presents new challenges. Developers using advanced analysis tools in a Linux environment may encounter many new obstacles in a multicore or multithreaded environment. Using tools from a commercial OS provider reduces burden for developers.
Increasingly developers are using embedded hypervisors to leverage virtualisation and enable multiple operating systems to run on a single board. An embedded hypervisor can configure the multicore environment, boot several cores, allocate hardware resources, provide access to and protect memory (for safety and security), and monitor system health.
To successfully manage all these regulatory, safety, security, design and implementation issues, it is important to have a commercial OTS Linux partner with the resources, expertise and long-term support to help device makers deliver effective products that will not only win regulatory approval, but also perform reliably for many years.

over 6 years by Anonymous 5 / 5I went here in the autumn with my 10yr old daughter and a friend. The two separate areas, although totally different, were of equal charm and enjoyment. The gardens ooze independence, with no branding, or that overriding feel you are in a NT or RHS garden. It was full of quirky features, excellent information (the signs dotted about the place are worth stopping to read), and both areas had that 'goodness only knows what is around the corner' feel; we just didn't know what to expect! There was little to feel serious about, much to smile about, much to take part in (even walking around the labyrinth that took ages but encouraged us to calm and relax and contemplate), and the giant swings are just fantastic! A great day out for children and adults alike. It does have steep hills and steps, so it may not be a garden for those with mobility restrictions and the Pride and Prejudice museum was a little odd. And this isn't a garden to come to and expect perfectly manicured lawns and swept paths, but for me that is part of the charm. Overall, I found it just a refreshing change from the more staid gardens around. It was fun, quirky, informative and interactive, without being a theme park! Priceless! OK, not really, more like £8.95 for adults and £7.45 for children, but a great day out.

PADRES: Peavy enjoyed time with Padres, but happy to be with White Sox
GLENDALE, Ariz. ---- Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is only 12 miles down the road from the Padres' Peoria complex, but he might as well be 1,000. Seven months after he was traded by the Padres for four pitchers, Peavy said the sting is gone and he has been rejuvenated by this newest chapter in his career.
Peavy, the 2007 National League Cy Young Award winner, also said he's enjoying the weightlessness of a situation in which he isn't being asked to waive his no-trade clause, where he plays for an owner who spends freely and where the franchise isn't forced into tough decisions on popular players for financial reasons like the one the Padres potentially face with first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
"He's a great player, and at times I think to myself, 'How could they not sign this guy?' " Peavy said of Gonzalez. "A hometown guy playing for his hometown team and being the superstar player he is. At the same time, this is the same organization that let their Hall of Fame closer walk away. You let a guy like Trevor Hoffman walk away from your organization after what he meant to the team and what he was in the community over a million dollars or two, which to us is a lot of money, but to a baseball team, you could swing those kinds of deals.
"I certainly knew my day was coming. I saw the writing on the wall when they were letting guys like (Hoffman) walk away."
The writing appeared only 11 months after Peavy signed a $52 million contract extension with the Padres. Despite being traded, Peavy said he holds no ill will toward the franchise, though he said he never wanted to leave. Peavy, 28, said he has retained many close friendships with the staff and his former teammates and believes the Padres aren't far from contending because of their pitching depth and defense.
"Those were tough times," said Peavy, who was 92-68 with a 3.29 ERA in eight seasons with the Padres. "I dearly love San Diego and everything about playing there. When I signed a contract I fully expected to be a San Diego Padre for life, and obviously things changed. I'm certainly a professional. I understand the business, albeit a tough decision, but I get it.
"I want the San Diego Padres to play the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. I have friends for life over there. I want them to have the best year they possibly can have."
As he looked around the Chicago clubhouse, Peavy said he is in the best possible position. He isn't oblivious to the differences between the two cities and knows the White Sox play in a bigger media market, have a larger fan base and have nearly three times as many seasons played.
"I told him it was going to be different than San Diego, probably a little more intense," said White Sox reliever Scott Linebrink, who was also Peavy's teammate for five seasons with the Padres. "Expectations are high and it's a big market. The first thing that surprised me is having 35-40 representatives of the media when you walk into the clubhouse. Certainly, it's a different atmosphere. It's not as laid-back and relaxed, but it's a lot of fun -- a lot of fun if you're winning.
Said Peavy: "The guys are happy. They're making bold moves. It's just a different ballclub, different team, a completely different feeling ---- a team that you absolutely know without a shadow of a doubt that the owner is committed to winning. If we need a piece here or there, we'll get it. It says to the players, 'If you guys hold up your end of the bargain, we'll hold up ours.' "

WHEELING - A man offered Wheeling City Council the chance to sell to him all the properties in the planned East Wheeling sports field area Monday, saying his investment would lead to a different development path.
Kenneth Peralta resides with mayoral candidate Jerome Poynton at 136 15th St., one of the homes set for demolition. He said he would like the opportunity to invest in an effort to "make much better use of the area and create a "horticultural paradise."
The city already has spent about $1.2 million toward the $2.5 million sports field project, via property acquisition and various services. The properties -- including the homes taken through eminent domain in January -- cost the city about $670,000, while demolition is set to cost $345,650 and contracting is estimated at $188,500.

Peralta said he heard great support from the community" regarding an alternate type of redevelopment in the block, citing discussion last week at council candidate forums on Wheeling Island and in South Wheeling.
The idea Peralta said he seeks to fund is Poynton's plan to make a "town square," where many of the structures in the block's perimeter would be restored while the interior would include a multi-faceted community park surrounding a small restaurant -- built from a restored structure -- in the direct center. The park would serve as a dining garden and "self-sustaining" marketplace, they said.
"Do we want want to regenerate the environment or do we want to put in Astroturf?" Peralta asked. "We could do something here that is very forward thinking."
He told council he could easily purchase all the properties and "close the sale in three weeks," provided city officials are ready to negotiate. If successful, he said he would seek investment partners as development moves forward.
Meanwhile, City Manager Robert Herron provided a tentative time line for the sports field project. He said the final design by contractor Alpha Architects and Engineers of Morgantown should be complete in late May, while demolition by Edgco Inc. of Lansing could take five months.
Herron added demolition will start in the next few weeks, pending Edgco providing bonds and insurance. He also said the construction bidding process could start in late June or early July with the contract to be awarded in August.
Peralta said he has provided financial backing for several companies and projects, including two independent films: the 2007 documentary "Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis" and an upcoming drama, "That's Beautiful Frank." The latter of the two he is producing with Poynton. Both works are listed on several popular film websites, including the Internet Movie Database, Fandango and Blockbuster.
Peralta is also listed with the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation as a consultant to the Green Wheeling Initiative and to a $55,000 grant provided to the West Virginia Northern Community College Foundation "to promote a local foods economy."
Herron also announced Dore and Associates of Pittsburgh will "mobilize" for demolition of the 1100 block of Main and Market streets next week. Razing the four city-owned structures in that area will cost $693,000, approved by council in February.
Council approved paying $4.73 million for a new membrane filtration system from Siemens Industry of Massachusetts. It is part of a total $36 million overhaul of the water treatment plant that will result in a customer rate hike of as much as 80 percent, pending investigation and judgment by the West Virginia Public Service Commission.
Council will meet next at 1 p.m. April 17 in the cafeteria of Wheeling Central Catholic High School, 14th and Eoff streets. Anyone wishing to be heard must sign up by 12:45 p.m. in the cafeteria.

CANNES 2001: Two Directors In Their Own Words -- Wong Kar-wai and David Lynch in Cannes
by Eugene Hernandez/indieWIRE
(indieWIRE/05.17.01) -- It was a day for two acclaimed directors to
make their splash on the Croisette. In separate appearances yesterday
(Wednesday), Wong Kar-wai and David Lynch talked with the press and other festival attendees about their aesthetics and what inspires them.
During what was billed as a "Day of Transmission," the festival presented a
symposium on "transmitting knowledge and love of cinema," gathering together
filmmakers, critics, festival directors and students. Among the highlights
of the all-day event was the anticipated lecture by Hong Kong auteur Wong
Kar-wai. However, the director abandoned the speech in favor of a screening
of a follow-up short to "In The Mood for Love" and a Q & A session.
Titled "In the Mood for Love 2001," the short is a coda to the feature
length movie, which Wong says was originally called "Three Stories About
Food," and was inspired by a book by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. Intended to be the "dessert," the short film features the owner of a 711 store
(played by Tony Leung) and his customer (played by Maggie Cheung). A promo sheet for the movie calls it "an analysis of the sensation of tasting. It
illustrates the erotic properties of cakes, tarts, cream puffs..."
As the movie concluded, the director -- wearing his trademark dark
glasses -- made his way on stage as the photographers swarmed. Among the
notable filmmakers who sat in for his standing room only appearance were
Volker Schlondorff, Agnes Varda, Samira Makhmalbaf and James Gray, all watching from the front row. Actress Fay Dunaway sat a few rows back, videotaping the event and taking copious notes.
Among the insights offered by the Hong Kong director was a wish early in his
career that he would emulate Alfred Hitchcock. "I imagined myself as
Hitchcock," Wong told the crowd, but admitted, "I hate writing -- I won't be
Hitchcock, because I change all the time." The director explained that he
shoots his movies without a "real script," but with an outline that includes
dialogue, but lacks specifics. He concluded, "You can't write all of your
images on paper."
However, Wong Kar-Wai views his latest work, "In the Mood for Love," as a
film influenced by Hitchcock. "In the Mood for Love" is like a thriller, a
story with a lot of suspense; it has a typical Hitchcock story structure."
"The privilege of being a director is that you can control time," the
director offered later. "In our daily life we cannot control time; this is
the fun part of being a director."
Anyone who is familiar with Wong Kar-wai's work would certainly understand
the importance of music to his films; witness the use of the Nat King Cole
songs for "In the Mood for Love." "To me, music creates the rhythm," the
director said. "If I want to explain it to (cinematographer) Chris Doyle, I
play him CDs, rather than show him a script; he won't read a script anyway."
Attendees were curious to learn more about Wong's background. "Growing up, I
spent almost everyday watching films," the director said. "My advice is: see
as may films as you can."
Asked about his views on studying cinema in school, Wong explained that he
did not attend film school. "To spend some time in film school is good, so
you can see a lot of films and make some friends," he said, eliciting a few
chuckles from the audience. "But actually, I think you have to leave to make
films in your daily life."
The audience also focused on Wong Kar-wai's latest production, "2046." Tony
Leung is on board for the "operatic sci-fi film," according to the director,
while Maggie Cheung has not yet agreed to take a part in the movie. At last
year's Cannes, Wong told indieWIRE, "The film is about promise. In 1997,
China's government promised 50 years of change. And I think, well, I should
make a film about promises." Pressed for details at this year's event,
however, Wong was mostly evasive, smiling and saying, "Whatever I tell you,
it will all change."
* * * * *
Equally of interest to festival-goers here was David Lynch's much more
oblique conversation with the press yesterday afternoon. Most of the
questions surrounded his competition film, "Mulholland Drive," a reworked TV
series pilot. However, a few other inquiries inspired Lynch to offer insight
into his creative process.
After delivering a cut to ABC that both he and the network were unhappy
with, Lynch was persuaded to pursue a theatrical version of the project.
However, that effort required some recutting to alter the open-ended pilot.
After some consideration, Lynch showed the footage to a producer and agreed
to give it a shot.
"One night, sitting down in my chair, the ideas unraveled," Lynch told the
audience, "They came to me like a string, and that was a beautiful night."
"Ideas come with many threads," Lynch offered, continuing the string
metaphor. "You don't know what's going to happen; the ideas string
themselves into a whole."
"Lately, I've been thinking of ideas as fish," he told the engaged crowd the
more he was pressed about his process for coming up with concepts for his
projects. "They are swimming around and once in awhile we catch one. Every
film is its own thing, the ideas dictate everything." indieWIRE's review of
"Mulholland Drive" will be published on our website later today (Thursday).

>> CORRECTION: LA Asian Fest
In Wednesday's story, "LA Asian Pacific Fest Fires Up with 'Green Dragon',"
the article indicated that Tony Bui's festival opener "Green Dragon" deals
with Japanese American internment camps during WWII. "Green Dragon" is about
Vietnamese refugee camps in California in 1975. We apologize for the error.
>> CORRECTION: Slamdance in Cannes
In Tuesday's Cannes 2001 article, "Attention-Getting? Slamdunk, Slamdance,
Streaking, and a Sandwich Board," by Jean Tang, there were a few factual
errors in regards to Slamdance's presence at this year's Cannes festival.
In addition to Johnny Josslyn, which the article claimed was the only
Slamdance rep in Cannes, there were six other members of the Slamdance
team, as well as two Slamdance Entertainment staffers, including Marco
Weber, CEO of Atlantic Streamline. We also incorrectly reported that
Atlantic Streamline was a distributor -- it is a production company --
also, the company did not acquire Slamdance, Atlantic Streamline formed
a partnership with the co-founders of the film festival to form a
separate international entity, known as Slamdance Entertainment.
Slamdance's screenings included a selection from their Dirty Dozen DVD
series on May 13; and Off Cannes and Agora Media hosted a screening of
the Dirty Dozen II DVD shorts on May 15 at the Cineguingette (not
"Cineguinquest," as stated) beach. Microsoft's Window Media is also
on board this year, streaming many of Slamdance's shorts on their
website on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next two weeks. For more

Fred Kaplan: What the Cuban Missile Crisis Should Teach UsRoundup: Talking About History
Fred Kaplan is Slate's "War Stories" columnist and author of the forthcoming book, The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War.
The Cuban missile crisis broke out 50 years ago this month, and its lessons on weakness, strength, and compromise have been recited ever since by politicians, pundits, and historians. The problem—which has plagued U.S. foreign policy time and again—is that these lessons are myths, based on sheer lies about how the crisis began and how it ended.
One of these myths has been thoroughly exploded (though many eminences seem not to know it). This is the notion that President John F. Kennedy got Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to back down and remove his nuclear missiles from Cuba entirely through the threat of force. In fact, as revealed by JFK's secret tape recordings of his meetings with senior advisers (evidence that's been available at the Kennedy Library for 25 years now), the two leaders brokered a deal: Khrushchev would take his missiles out of Cuba; Kennedy would take his very similar missiles out of Turkey.
But the other myth, no less pernicious in its impact (and no less false), still endures. This is the legend that Kennedy cowered before Khrushchev at a summit in Vienna in the spring of 1961 and that, as a result, the crafty Communist aggressively deployed missiles in Cuba thinking the young president was too weak to respond.
In fact, however, the evidence—much of it declassified a decade ago from the Kremlin archives, and recounted in Khrushchev's Cold War, a superb book by Aleksandr Fursenko and Timothy Naftali—reveals that it was Khrushchev who shipped the missiles out of weakness and insecurity...

Prof. Maureen Linker named Susan B. Anthony award recipient
DEARBORN---Maureen Linker, associate professor of philosophy and director
of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of Michigan-Dearborn,
has been chosen by the campus's Commission for Women as the recipient
of the 28th annual Susan B. Anthony award.
The annual award recognizes a member of the campus community who has
made significant contributions to gender equality.
A ceremony honoring Linker will take place at the University Center's
Kochoff Hall on Thursday, March 23, beginning with a reception and silent
auction at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. The evening's guest speaker will
be Shirley R. Stancato, president and CEO of New Detroit.
"Maureen is described as 'the hardest working advocate for women's
equity' at UM-Dearborn, being both chair of Women's and Gender Studies
and the co-chair of the Agenda for Women in the same year, which is unprecedented,"
according to Prof. Timothy McKenna, who serves on UM-Dearborn's Commission
for Women. "The commission is happy to acknowledge the exceptionally
strong advocate for women that Maureen is and has been for our campus."
In addition to her duties as director of the Women's and Gender Studies
Program and co-chair of the Agenda for Women, Linker is a member of the
Child Development Center's steering committee, spending numerous hours
on fundraising and other activities for the CDC. She also volunteers her
time to teach women's studies to prisoners at the Robert Scott Correctional
Facility in Plymouth, as well as mentor many female students at UM-Dearborn.
Linker serves on the executive council of the Department of Humanities,
as well as the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters executive committee.
Her research focuses on gender and knowledge production, the ethics of
care and the field of feminist epistemology.
Linker joined the UM-Dearborn faculty as assistant professor of philosophy
in 1996 and was promoted to associate professor in 2002.
Linker received her bachelor's and doctoral degrees from the City University of New York.

More people die from being stabbed with an ear of corn than by eating a little dirt.
It's an interesting article, but seriously, if it's been that way since the dawn of time, our bodies have adapted to it.
Just try not to think about it when you're eating.
BTW, do any contestants die while filming "Fear Factor"?
That ruined my lunch, thanks.....not!

Last night I was out garbage pickin....I'm mean running my scrap and recycling business and I happened across a brand new looking gas grill. I opened it and saw a mouse nest (I guess thats why it got the boot). Normally I would just take it to the yard but it was too good to not take it home. Well, once home i discovered a complete family if newborn mice (about the size of a thumb nail) and its mother, desperately clinging to the underside with a baby in its mouth. At first I was just going to leave it on my tree lawn, but I though of you and rolled it back near the garage where I will wait until they are grown.
Anyway, they looked just like that thing in the picture. You would have gotten a kick out of watching me jump 25 feet when I got eye to eye with the Mom. Later, the mom removed the babies I accidently killed with the foil (sword) I also aquired.
Maybe someone will bring a lawsuit for having too few rodent hairs for 100 grams.

just to clarify, by "poo" i dont think there is actual feces in our food. what they are talking about is fecal coliform, a bacteria present in feces. we just did a thing in biology before school got ou where we went down to the river and did fecal coliform tests on the public water. The water was way beond acceptable to drink and just under acceptable to come in contact with.

Ok park for an overnight, or if you aren't looking for ambiance. Weed and gravel back in sites for big rigs that either overlook office/pool or maintenance building. Seasonals in park are full of mold and mildew, but are out of sight to big rig area in front. No antenna TV except for 2 channels, not able to get satellite TV reception due to trees. Sprint hotspot had no reception. Sprint phone service very spotty. Close proximity to Stockbridge and other Berkshire attractions. Possibly stay here again if only overnighting. Rate is PA. - Mnvb

We had a great site right near a brook, it was a beautiful spot. There are not a lot of activities for kids, but it's safe to ride bikes around and there is a lot of nature to enjoy. The bathrooms were clean and the staff friendly. We would go back again. - ksews

Hahahaahahahaahahahahahaahaha. Ha.
Oh, God, no, now I'm crying.

Unlike some things, Beetlejuice really holds up. And unlike almost everything, Catherine O'Hara playing a Manhattan dilettante Delia Deetz who moves to the country only to be haunted by Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin really, really, really holds up. More
Just this. This is the kind of look that's great, because you can wear it to a basketball game and then afterwards you can wear it to a black tie party, and it will be equally appropriate both places. You'll get these really excited reactions from people, and it will be so great. More
This week, we realized that all we want to do is be Katharine Hepburn's character in Holiday, just back-flip-flopping all over the place, being amazing. We would, however, settle for being Katharine's Hepburn's character in any of her movies. Barring that, we would settle for being Katharine Hepburn. And if all that is impossible, we'd be willing to just dress like her. More
We are eternally jealous of girls who can pull off a pixie cut. It takes a certain magical combination of long neck, delicate features and, frankly, a pleasing head shape to do it well. Jean Seberg–who famously broke hearts across the globe in Breathless–had all three… and a closet full of Breton shirts. Also, she was in Paint Your Wagon, the best musical about gold mining starring Clint Eastwood ever. More
We've had a soft spot for Garbage ever since we first saw the "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" video on MTV and, like, totally identified with it. But even if you weren't a big Garbage fan, there was still something thrilling about frontwoman Shirley Manson, with her grungey kinderwhore style and stunning frankness with the press. So, for all the girls out there who tacked Shirley's Spin covers to their bedroom walls in the '90s, here's our gallery of appreciation. More
Bjork's a true original: ever since we first listened to Debut, we've had a soft spot for the Icelandic weirdo with the once-in-a-lifetime voice. She's known for recording more than a few modern classics, her unforgettable videos, oddball collaborations, forays outside music, robot makeouts and, of course… the way she dresses. But it's not all swan suits and baby buns, people: Bjork's eccentric style is just as striking as her sound. More
This week's Friday Style Icon is pretty straight forward: Michelle Williams is a really talented actress and a fashion risk-taker with good taste. She wears a refined palette of metallics and neutrals, knows what looks good on her (she loves a fitted bodice and a full skirt) and sticks to her guns (she will wear all the lace dresses). She's partial to Chanel, Balenciaga, and Erdem and her trademark look is a mix of ladylike, mod and nonchalant. Although sometimes she comes up short, for the most part Williams is a lovely presence on red carpets who makes unconventional, intelligent fashion decisions and occasionally just kills it (we all remember her yellow Vera Wang from the Oscars). Let's see some of her hits. More

Here at TheGloss, we find that to be complete bullshit, which is why we're celebrating that awesome weirdo Allison Reynolds (pre-make over) as today's Friday Style Icon. More

A vaccine against rotavirus, a virus that causes severe and often fatal diarrhea, reduced episodes of severe illness from the virus in infants in Africa by two-thirds, according to a study coordinated by the Seattle global health organization PATH and the vaccine's maker GlaxoSmithKline.
Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, a senior advisor on immunizations for PATH, is the senior author on the paper.
Each year, more than 525,000 children under age 5 die worldwide from rotavirus infections, with nearly half of those deaths occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.
Rotavirus vaccines have been shown to be effective in trials conducted in Europe, Latin America and the U.S., but there was concern that the vaccine might not work as well when given to poor children in the developing world.
The study, which appear in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, was conducted the sub-Saharan countries of Malawi and South Africa. The vaccine, called Rotarix, is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals.
In the study more than 4,900 infants were randomly assigned to three groups: one group received two doses of the vaccine, which is given by mouth; one group received three doses; and one group received three placebo doses.
The researchers found that during the first year of life, 4.9 percent of the children who had received the placebo developed severe rotavirus gastroenteritis compared to only 1.9 percent of the children who had received either the two or three dose regimen, signifying a two-thirds reduction on illnesses.
This was less than the reductions seen in Europe and Latin American studies, which included low-income populations, but consistent with what has been seen with other oral vaccines when given in poor developing countries.
Video about a PATH rotavirus vaccine project in Nicaragua
Another paper appearing in the same issue of the journal, reports that since the rotavirus vaccines were introduced into Mexico, death rates from diarrheal disease among children age two and younger have dropped more than 65 percent.

Having returned from vacation, and only a few days late on our Kevin Garnett Day from last Wednesday (Oops…), I still wanted to give my contribution to the series.
I've told my story a couple of times in this space on how attending Kevin Garnett's basketball camp as an eight year old made an impact on me as a basketball fan by hooking me for life. Having watched Garnett in his early years, then being able to attend his camp taught me a great deal about the game. Those lessons helped me as a player and coach, but also as a writer later on.
Every time that I've talked about Garnett's camp and getting to walk around Hopkins High School with him, I've only had to reference the pictures. Because the return of Garnett to Minnesota was such a big deal, especially to someone like me, I placed a call to my Mom to dig out those pics. Now, I'm finally able to share those with the internet.
These are the memories I've always had of Garnett: the 22-year old budding superstar hanging around with a bunch of kids in the offseason. For me, its created a bit of a bias since these memories override some of Garnett's actions that some might call "dirty." To be honest, I've been just fine with this.
If it weren't for this camp, I may still be a basketball fan, but it may not be to this extent. Memories like this cause people to develop ties and associations to things like sports teams that, in the grand scheme of things, don't really matter. Garnett may not be returning to Minnesota to give the team elite production, but that hardly matters. Seeing Garnett in a Timberwolves jersey evokes fond memories like these that are unique and rare.
For Garnett and the Timberwolves, the reunion brings the two full-circle. But for me going from fan to covering Garnett, it feels like full-circle for me too.

- " Very clean! The staff are sweeping and mopping the rooms and bathrooms, daily. Amazing location: close to the main city area and 10 min walk to the bus station that takes you every where. Great because it doesn't feel super touristy. But breakfast is literally a biscuit and coffee, but you can buy more for like €0.60. Has a fridge and microwave but no utensils. "

Practice/Industry Group Overview
Contractors and other businesses are increasingly under the scrutiny of government auditors, investigators, regulators and prosecutors on the hunt for fraud, waste and abuse. In such a legal and regulatory environment, apparently innocent mistakes can be perceived as violations.
On the civil side, a contractor may be liable for damages and penalties plus the forfeiture of the contractor's legitimate claims. On the criminal side, the result may be investigations and criminal prosecution of the contractor and its personnel.
Recognizing the importance of these issues, the experienced Corporate Compliance and Integrity Counsel Group at Peckar & Abramson offers a full spectrum of legal representation and business-oriented counsel. This includes:
Our Corporate Compliance and Integrity Counsel Group includes lawyers with substantial civil fraud experience as well as former criminal prosecutors and a former federal investigative agent. Our internal investigations team of attorneys have conducted numerous internal investigations to independently determine whether clients may be at risk or may be obligated to make a formal disclosure to federal authorities.
Our False Claims Act knowledge encompasses defective pricing, labor and per diem mischarging, industrial espionage, false certifications and product substitution, among other potential violations.

FXStreet (Guatemala) - ANZ Strategists, Khoon Goh and HuiYing Chan noted that leveraged funds' net long USD positioning stayed relatively unchanged after the previous week's sharp increase, rising slightly from USD15.7bn to USD16.1bn.
Key Quotes
"Increases in USD positioning came courtesy of the commodity currencies and MXN, which were offset by declines in positioning against JPY and EUR."
"Net short positioning in the JPY was reduced by 9.5k contracts worth USD1.1bn to 66.9k for an overall short position of USD8.2bn. Part of this likely reflected ongoing geopolitical tensions in Ukraine."
"Among the commodity currencies, AUD had the greatest reduction in net long positioning, likely a result of the surprising rise in the unemployment rate on 7 August. Net long positions fell by 4.0k contracts (worth USD0.4bn) to 33.6k (worth USD3.1bn)."
"Net short positioning in EUR reduced slightly by USD0.5bn after increasing by USD10.0bn in the prior 3 weeks. Total net short positions now stand at USD17.8bn, still a historically high level."
"Net long positions in GBP continue to be reduced for the seventh consecutive week, dragging on the sterling. Leveraged funds still maintain a large net long position in GBP worth USD8.6bn, suggesting potential for a further unwinding of sterling longs. Since the reduction of net long positions in GBP started seven weeks ago, we have seen a reduction of USD4.2bn net long positioning in GBP as GBP/USD declined from 1.71 to 1.67."
"Net long non-commercial positions in gold increased by 32.1k contracts to 166k. Net long positioning in WTI crude oil fell by 20.8k contracts to 328.2k. This is the seventh consecutive weekly decline in oil positioning since it reached historic highs in late June."

Can you imagine a music video with a super production?, Dare!
If you want to be a real rock star, the bottom line is to contact experts in the field. They make your video look like the ones in MTV and not another home video. The video format may be the simple shooting scenes where only simple or choreography, or even the film type, depending on your computer you count the expert.
In this video you can participate with you, your parents and siblings, but also your inner circle of friends. The idea is that these images are supported by significant and contemporary music.
For example, if you love a Katy Perry song, or even the Black Eyed Peas, feel free to copy the choreography or the history of his video to play on yours. Or if you love the song but have in mind your own dance move, Dare to let your creativity go!
It is important to lean in stunning scenery, places that have a special meaning for you and at the same time projecting and exploit your personality. Get ready, because surely you run, you will dance, scream and sing in the company of all the actors involved in this recall invaluable.
Something else you should consider is the dress you'll be using. As in the photos, is careful with excesses in fashion so that as the years pass and be an adult, do not be worth re-viewing with people who were not close to you in those magical moments.
This type of work requires at least a full day of your time, but in the end you will receive a great reward So cheer to make your own video!


text: One Direction ready for Belfast dates 07 Mar 2013 One Direction fever is gripping Belfast, just hours before the band kick off their latest dates in the city. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The boys are set to pack out the Odyssey Arena for four nights as part of their world tour - that's more than 30,000 screaming fans.And local 1D fans are already getting excited over the thought of Harry, Niall, Zayn, Louis and Liam in their home city. They're well known for being enthusiastic for their love of One Direction, which formed during the 2010 series of the X Factor.Just over a year ago, the boys came to UTV and hundreds of fans queued up outside Havelock House for a glimpse of their singing heroes.The pop sensations are now so used to trying to escape the crowds that it was rumoured they had booked rooms at a number of Belfast's finest hotels to try to outfox fans.But UTV can report two of the most popular celeb haunts said any 1D fans waiting outside their hotels would be sadly disappointed, while others declined to comment on the presence of the chart-topping band.All four of the Belfast dates are sold out, and promoters say queuing will not be allowed before 5pm.BeLFaSt hERe we come !!! :) x— zaynmalik1D (@zaynmalik) March 7, 2013They have also banned audio and video recorders from the concerts, while glosticks, umbrellas and plastic bottles will not be let through security.Earlier this week the boys - including Mullingar native Niall - entertained crowds at Dublin's O2.And performing is hungry work, so while in the Irish capital the five-piece devoured a massive delivery - including 100 chicken wings - from their favourite restaurant, Nandos.One Direction are frequently seen eating - or tweeting - about the chicken dishes, so are either of the Belfast restaurants gearing up for an extra special delivery?Their names on everyone's lips at the Ormeau Avenue eatery, where staff told UTV they wouldn't be surprised if 1D made a visit.It's becoming somewhat of a celeb haunt, with Game of Thrones star James Cosmo dining there, and actor Ben Chaplin becoming a bit of a regular.At Nando's Victoria Square venue, waiters are poised for the hungry singers, who hold a black card which means they're entitled to all their meals for free.So with accommodation sussed and food sorted, all that's left is to see the show! © UTV Share Share Share

Reidsville, NC -- A local couple is closer to learning more about their young child's extremely rare genetic disorder thanks to dozens of people who decided to make a difference despite Saturday's heat.
For hours, people honked their car horns as they drove past the NewBridge Bank on Freeway Drive in Reidsville, while others stopped in for a car wash and yard sale to raise money for two-year-old Caleb Paynter and his family.
"For everybody to come out and be in this kind of weather and still show support is amazing," Caleb's mom, Jennifer Paynter, said. "It's just amazing. We were worried [and] saying we're going to be praying for rain because it's going to be so hot. And it has been raining in blessing form and it's just been amazing."
Caleb has an extremely rare medical problem called Cockayne Syndrome Type II. There are only 60 known cases worldwide.
People who are part of a group called Caleb's Squad wanted to help his parents. The money they raised during Saturday's event will allow them to go to California at the end of July to meet with researchers and doctors to learn more about Caleb's condition.
"Financially, the support has been tremendous," Brandon Paynter, Caleb's dad, said. "The Lord is going to bless us with this and being able to be out there. And the ones that [have] given and spent their time and helped out in any way, I look for the Lord to reply to them tenfold."
Community members have also planned a spaghetti supper for July 6. You can keep up with Caleb's journey on Facebook.

Happy Wednesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for September 14, 2011 from Len Berman at www.ThatsSports.com
1. Quick Hits
- Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera earns his 600th career save, one shy of Trevor Hoffman's record.
- A deep sigh of relief in Red Sox nation. Boston now has a 4 game lead for the wild card as knuckleballer Tim Wakefield wins his 200th career game.
- Justin Verlander wins his 23rd game as the first place Detroit Tigers roll on.
- The opening of the NBA season is in jeopardy as talks appear to be going nowhere. Training camps are due to open in less than three weeks.
2. 600
Mariano Rivera is arguably the best closer ever, but nothing in sports is clear-cut. The save itself is a bit controversial. A pitcher can earn one if he enters the game with a 3 run lead and gets at least one out. He doesn't even have to pitch. He could pick off a base-runner and still earn the save. And the stat didn't even exist until 1960. Old time pitchers scoff at the current guys. Goose Gossage, for example, would come into the game in the 7th or 8th with the bases loaded and pitch two or 3 innings. Rivera normally starts the 9th with nobody on base. When Jose Canseco became the first member of the 40-40 club in 1988, 40 homers and 40 stolen bases in a single season, Mickey Mantle famously said, "If I knew 40-40 was a big deal, I would have done it every year."
3. Say What?
Sometimes I just don't get it. Plaxico Burress did a dumb thing, really dumb. But he paid his time and met success with a lucrative contract from the Jets. End of story, right? Not with Burress. He had to take shots at his former Giants coach and quarterback, Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning, in a magazine interview. He said they weren't compassionate towards him. Here's a guy who ruined an entire season for a franchise his teammates and his fans, not to mention putting lives in danger. And he takes umbrage at how others reacted? If he doesn't pan out this season I can't wait to hear who he blames it on.
4. In-security
Thought I'd share this email from a Top 5 subscriber. The name has been withheld to protect the guilty.
"With the high cost of beer, I always sneak 2 beers in for Jets games. I went thru the entrance Sunday; this guard practically made love to me. Sure enough, he found my beer. OK, it's high security; I half expected it. Plus, I'm still way ahead of them. BUT, if they got my beer, how in heck can they miss a Taser?"
Hey priorities. But this is what sports has come to? Sneaking beer into stadiums? Candy into movies is one thing, but...
5. What are the Odds?
Sunday, at Belmont Park in New York, they held a special ceremony prior to the start of racing on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. When the racing began, the winners of the first three races were Say Toba Sandy, Wishful Tomcat and Hay's Boy. The 9 horse won the first race. The 1 horse won the next two. 9-1-1. There's no truth to the rumor that the jockeys were forbidden from wearing NYPD and FDNY caps by Major League Baseball.
Happy Birthday: Former Yankees second baseman and current San Diego Padres broadcaster Jerry Coleman. 87.
Bonus Birthday: Bowzer from Sha Na Na, Jon Bauman. 64.
Today in Sports: The first recorded hole-in-one, Tom Morris at the British Open. 1868.
Bonus Event: The TV debut of Entertainment Tonight, 30 years ago today. 1981.

Shuttle buses will run between campus and the parking lot 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. and noon - 4:30 p.m. Directions to the April 19 parking location.
Parking for other Introducing Purdue dates - For all dates except April 19, Introducing Purdue guests will park at the North Stadium Lot, north of Ross-Ade Stadium. Directions to the North Stadium Lot. Buses will shuttle guests between campus and the parking lot for these event dates as well.


text: My kevlar belted Vittoria Roma 25' are worn out. I need to replace them ASAP. The three tires that I am looking at are: continental ultra-gatorskin 28's, armadillo 28's, and Vittoria Raddoneur 32's. I am afraid of the armadillos because they are so overbuilt. The same may be said of the Raddoneurs. Of course I would rather have an overbuilt tire than a bad run of flats. Here's my background: I am a lightweight riding with minimal (<20lbs) gear from Boston to PA. Thanks for your help!

Sometimes in this world, there are good ideas that are simply destined to die off quickly. In January, as the King Joffrey of the music world Justin Bieber was getting arrested for reckless driving and a DUI in Miami, a petition on the White House's "We The People" website was created to revoke Bieber's green card and boot him out of the country.
Two hundred and seventy thousand signatures were gathered on the petition because, like Amy Winehouse, it was just beautiful to hear. On Saturday though we got a response from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and…well, it wasn't all that surprising if you think about it.
"Sorry to disappoint, but we won't be commenting on this one," they said in their official statement. "The We the People terms of participation state that, 'to avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.'"
It was a very nice dream while it lasted. Maybe we can try a trade with Canada, Bieber for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. At least with Ford we'd get the occasional laugh and awesome football field pratfall. Also, he'd be able to log some time in rehab for crack and his "drunken stupors." I'd certainly be cool with that.

Business Insurance & Risk Management
Organizations of all sizes and varieties face exposures to loss that can have a crippling effect on the organization and its ability to fulfill its mission. How your organization addresses these exposures varies depending on the sophistication of your needs, the availability of resources (both human and financial) and the level of exposure inherent in your business.

Learn More...
At Henriott Group, we have the product expertise and carrier relationships to deliver the unique coverages your organization needs, from basic property and liability coverages to more sophisticated coverages such as executive protection, errors and omissions, environmental and foreign liability, among others.
Business Insurance Coverages
We manage the following kinds of policies: Builders Risk; Business Owners Policy; Commerical Auto; Commercial Property; Directors & Officers; Employment Practices Liability; Environmental & Pollution Liability; General Liability; Network Security/Internet Liability; Professional Liability; Umbrella; Workers Compensation. Learn More...
- Builders Risk. The Builders Risk Policy is designed to provide coverage for direct loss or damage from covered causes of loss to buildings and structures under construction.
- Business Owners Policy. Business Owner Policies are similar to a homeowners policy, offering both property and liability protection.
- Commercial Auto. A business auto policy may cover a variety of operations, including trucking, garaging, public and private transport and businesses with auto exposures that fall outside the other classes.
- Commercial Property. Commercial property policy provides coverage for real and personal property that is used in a business.
- Directors & Officers. Directors and Officers coverage supplements the protection provided by General Liability policies to include certain claims filed against the company or its offices and directors for "management malpractice."
- Employment Practices Liability. Hiring and firing practices have become legal minefields that have spurred the development of Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI).
- Environmental & Pollution Liability. The Environmental and Pollution Liability policy is a form of insurance designed to cover losses and liabilities arising from damage to property caused by pollution.
- General Liability. Commercial General Liability (CGL) Policy insures the bodily injury liability and property damage liability exposures of commercial businesses, enterprises and ventures.
- Network Security/Cyber Liability. Most traditional policies exclude liability caused by the theft of private information due to security breaches of your network, costs to notify those individuals or business affected, as well as any damage done to your own software or harware. Cyber Liability coverage can fill that gap.
- Professional Liability. Professionals, such as doctors, lawyers and accountants, have long been held highly accountable for the consequences of their decisions.
- Umbrella.Most underlying policies do not include limits high enough for most businesses, so umbrellas are needed to extend coverage limits for claims that otherwise could cripple the organization.
- Workers Compensation. Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Coverage insures against claims for work-related injuries or diseases suffered by employees that are compensable by statute and/or imposed by law as damages.

Finnish Language Instruction in North America
A Need
In October 2005, a group of Finnish language instructors in North America gathered as an advisory board at Finlandia University to determine whether there was a need for a consortium of language teachers. Based on results of a survey created by this advisory board, there is a strong desire for such a consortium, and most of the responses indicated that working together with other language teachers would be an effective means to improve a program.
A Solution
Based on the results of the survey, listed below are all known language classes in North America. These listings range from small, informal groups to credited college courses. By request of some instructors, we will not publish specific contact information on this page; rather, we will link to the school or organization's Web site when possible:
Language Villages/Language Camps
Salolampi (Concordia Language Villages) - Bemidji, Minnesota
Finnish American Heritage Center - Hancock, Michigan
Calumet Elementary School - Calumet, Michigan

Would You Hold Your Kids Back In School? (VIDEO)Danielle Smith
I know the 'cut-off' for starting school is different in every state. When I was growing up in Southern California, it must have been the end of October because I was a January birthday, but had friends in my grade who didn't turn my 'age' until October. I was one of the oldest ones.
My husband is the opposite. With a July birthday, growing up in Missouri, he was one of the youngest.
Now my small people, growing up right here where my husband did, are experiencing the same thing. As Summer babies, they are the LAST to have a birthday. We had the choice: hold them back to make them the OLDEST, or let join the grade they qualified for, rendering them amoung the youngest. Academically, they were more than ready, so we couldn't fathom letting them sit out or repeat another year of preschool. So now, they are some of the smallest in their grades, and admmittedly, I can sometimes see the difference nearly a year can make in maturity.
I know parents take a lot of things into consideration when it comes to making this decision: academics, social maturity and even athletics…. what about you? Were you faced with this decision… and if so, what did you take into account? (and are you happy with your decision?)

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Thank-you for your question.
Regarding the maintenance requirement, in order to be granted leave to remain as a Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) Migrant you must have at least £800 of personal savings which must have been held for a consecutive 90 day period before the date of application. Therefore, if you apply on 20 October 2010, you must be able to demonstrate that you had £800 in your building society account on every day during the preceding 3 months (i.e. from 20 July 2010 to 20 October 2010). On the information that you have provided it would appear that you are able to satisfy the maintenance requirement. However, you must make sure that you evidence this properly. You can rely on funds held in a UK Building Society but must submit your original Building Society pass book with your application as evidence. The Building Society pass book must cover a consecutive 90 day period, ending no more than one calendar month before the date of application. The building society pass book should also clearly show: (i) your name; (ii) the account number; (iii) the financial institution's name and logo; (iv) any transactions during the 90 day period; (v) that there have been enough funds present in the account (the balance must always be at least £800) covering the consecutive 90 day period before the date of application.
Regarding NI numbers, you only need to provide an NI number if (a) you have one; and (b) you know the NI number.
Regarding your previous visa refusals, you do not need to write a letter to the Home Office explaining these. I have checked the PSW application form and in Section D on 'Immigration History" the Home Office is only interested in your immigration history since entering the UK. However, there is also nothing to stop you from submitting an explanatory letter with your application if you wish to do so and feel that this would be hepful.
I hope I have answered all your questions. Please kindly click the green ACCEPT button so that I may be compensated for my time. Thank-you and good luck with your application.

A Compressible Three-Dimensional Design Method for Radial and Mixed Flow Turbomachinery Blades
A fully three-dimensional compressible inverse design method for the design of radial and mixed flow turbomachines is described. In this method the distribution of the circumferentially averaged swirl velocity rVΘ on the meridional geometry of the impeller is prescribed and corresponding blade shape is computed iteratively. Two approaches are presented for solving the compressible flow problem. In the approximate approach the pitchwise variation in density is neglected and as a result the algorithm is simple and efficient. In the exact approach the velocities and density are computed throughout the three dimensional flow field by employing a fast fourier transform in the tangential direction. The results of the approximate and exact approach are compared for the case of a high-speed (subsonic) radial-inflow turbine and it is shown that the difference between blade shapes computed by the two methods is well within the manufacturing tolerances. The method was validated by calculating the flow though a designed high-speed radial-inflow turbine by using a three-dimensional inviscid Euler solver. Very good correlation was obtained between the specified and computed rVθ distributions.

"The plain and simple truth is that alcohol fuels violent behavior and marijuana does not ... alcohol contributes to literally millions of acts of violence in the United States each year. It is a major contributing factor to crimes like domestic violence, sexual assault, and homicide. Marijuana use, on the other hand, is absent in that regard from both crime reports and the scientific literature. There is simply no causal link to be found."
"Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within a supervised routine of medical care. ... It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance in light of the evidence in this record."
