Rampo officials issue public warning regarding convicted Monsey pedophile Yoel Oberlander
Accountability and transparency within our institutions and leadership.
Sex offender notification
By STEVE LIEBERMAN
Sex offender
Name: Yoel Oberlander.
Address: 10952 ZIP code, Monsey.
Original jurisdiction: Spring Valley-Ramapo
Conviction: Nov. 27, 2002
Charge: second-degree sexual abuse.
Victim: 11-year-old girl.
Sentence: 6 years' probation.
Risk: moderate, Level 2.
(Original publication: April 21, 2005)
A photograph of a 24-year-old Monsey man and details of his conviction for sexually abusing a child have been sent to Ramapo families.
Yoel Oberlander was classified by a court as a Level 2 offender, which is considered at moderate risk of becoming a repeat offender.
Oberlander pleaded guilty in 2002 to second-degree sexual abuse, second-degree unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child, all misdemeanors. He admitted in County Court to having sexual contact with an 11-year-old girl. The sexual abuse took place in the Spring Valley and Ramapo area.
Both police departments investigated Oberlander, who was sentenced to six years' probation.
Spring Valley police notified the East Ramapo school district that Oberlander had registered his home address in Monsey. The Ramapo Police Department also was notified.
Earlier this month, East Ramapo officials sent about 8,000 letters containing Oberlander's photo, conviction and ZIP code home with students to give to their parents. The district also sent the information to private schools in Ramapo.
Under state law, police can tell school districts only the ZIP code for a Level 2 offender, not the full address. A full address is provided for those considered high risk, or Level 3. The low-risk category is Level 1.
Oberlander was among several sex offenders recently reported to East Ramapo school district residents. People have posted their photos in town, though in some places, residents said, Oberlander's photo was taken down.
The notifications are sent out after an offender gets a classification hearing in County Court. A judge decides if a person is Level 1, 2 or 3. Hearings are held for those convicted between 1996 and 2000, those moving in from another state and those recently convicted.

People v. Yoel Oberlander - Despite 'Chemical Castration' Court Requires Defendant's Registration as Level 2 Sex Offender.
Criminal Practice
Judge Kelly
County Court
A SEX OFFENDER classification hearing was held for defendant, who had been sentenced to probation after conviction for seconddegree sexual abuse. He was a presumed Level 2 sex offender based on an 85 point score on a riskassessment instrument. Defendant, "chemically castrated" by medical treatments reducing his bloodtestosterone level, argued that the instrument was erroneous because he did not employ "forcible compulsion." The court, however, required defendant's registration as a Level 2 sex offender. It found insufficient evidence to conclude that an elevated testosterone level was the sole cause of defendant's actions and that defendant has a psychological abnormality that decreases his ability to control impulsive sexual behavior. The court determined that forcible compulsion may be found to result from an express or implied threat, which must be viewed in the context of a frightened 11 year old girl alone in an automobile with an adult who has placed his hand under her dress.
Decision of Interest.
June 24, 2003
New York Law Journal
Rockland County
County Court
Judge Kelly
People v. Yoel Oberlander - The Court held a sex offender classification hearing pursuant to 168 of the Correction Law. The hearing was held to classify the above named defendant who had just been sentenced to six years probation following his conviction for Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree. The defendant was present and was represented by counsel.
In connection with the hearing, the Court reviewed the pre-sentence report with pre-sentence memoranda, as well as the risk assessment instrument prepared by the District Attorney's Office. The Court examined psychiatric and psychological reports from Dr. Thomas and Dr. Berlin respectively. Additionally, the Court heard testimony from Dr. Thomas concerning his clinical opinion regarding the defendant risk to re-offend and the defendant's course of treatment, including the inter-muscular anti-androgen therapy.
Dr. Thomas has indicated that he has undertaken the responsibility of continuing therapy with the defendant. As part of that continuing treatment, in conjunction with weekly psychotherapy, Dr. Thomas will continue with the monthly injections of Depo-Lupron and continue to monitor the levels of testosterone in the defendant's blood. Further, Dr. Thomas has assured the Court that he will report any problems to the defendant's probation officer.
As a result of the treatments so far, the testosterone level in the defendant's blood has been significantly lowered. According to Dr. Thomas, the defendant has been "chemically castrated" and thereby rendered virtually asexual.
The recommendation contained in the Risk Assessment Instrument is the presumptive risk level to be applied to an offender. In this case, the defendant received an aggregate score of 85 points when scored by the District Attorney, making him a presumptive level two.
The Court finds that consistent with the risk level instrument, the defendant should be classified as a "level 2" offender. The Court bases its determination on an evaluation of the criteria set forth in Correction Law 168-l(5) including, but not limited to, the defendant's history, the nature of the offense, the number of victims and vulnerability of the victims.
The defendant contends the Risk Assessment Instrument is erroneous in that he did not employ forcible compulsion (10 points) and that the evidence did not demonstrate three or more victims (30 points). In fact, in a prior incident, the defendant made admissions of exposing his penis to young girls on five occasions over the two week period prior to his arrest. Five victims signed depositions in reference to exposure incidents in which the defendant was identified. Forcible compulsion is not confined to physical force, but may be found to result from a threat, express or implied, which must be viewed in the context of a frightened eleven year old girl alone in an automobile with an adult who has placed his hand under her dress.
In any event, the factors listed in the statute are not exhaustive and special circumstances may warrant a departure from the presumptive risk level if aggravating factors are present. The Court finds that an override would be warranted in any event, since the defendant has a psychological abnormality that decreases his ability to control impulsive sexual behavior. Dr. Berlin's report demonstrates that the defendant has a sexual disorder that manifested itself in a pattern of genital exhibitionism that escalated in his fondling of a young girl.
The defendant's sexual fantasies and recurrent urges concerning sexual activities with young girls continued even after intervention. Thereafter, aggressive pharmocological treatment in the form of Depo-Luperon medication was recommended to suppress the production of testosterone, to increase the defendant's capacity for self-control and to prevent sexual criminality.
While the defendant's course of treatment will undoubtedly have the physical effect of lowering the defendant's testosterone, the Court has not been provided with sufficient evidence such that it can determine that the treatment will alleviate the risk of re-offense. While intuitively, the Court understands that an elevated testosterone level will increase sexual urges, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that an elevated testosterone level was the sole cause of the defendant's actions.
Additionally, Dr. Thomas' experience with the Depo-Luperon treatment is anecdotal, and his personal experience with long term treatment is non-existent. According to Dr. Thomas, he has treated a total of eight patients with this inter-muscular anti-androgen therapy. However, the longest he has treated any one of those patients was two and one half years. It is anticipated that the defendant's course of treatment will exceed two and one half years.
While Dr. Thomas was no doubt earnest in his belief that the defendant does not pose a risk to re-offend in the future, that position is not supported by any personal experience. Further, the Court has not received a report of any reliable study of the long term efficacy of this course of treatment.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the public would be best served if the defendant were required to register as a level two offender.
This Decision shall constitute the Order of the Court.
It is really sad that we have these kinds of predators and sick individuals in the jewish community. We have all kinds of problems when you think about it. I am no fan of Rabbi Tendler, but I think this mess really has a bad effect on everyone, especially the BT's who may not have a strong jewish background. And sex problems are not the only problem facing the jewish community. What about the crooks? There are plenty of crooked and shady people that also have a bad effect. What about stealing and crooked business? In my shul (not Tendlers) a few guys got togther and stole the business of another guy in the shul. Of course the shul does nothing everyone still gets an aliyah. One of the guys that stole the business got elected President of the shul! I think the guy they stole from quit the shul. We really need to straiten up our act, folks, and live according to Torah.
In my shul (not Tendlers) a few guys got togther and stole the business of another guy in the shul. Of course the shul does nothing everyone still gets an aliyah. One of the guys that stole the business got elected President of the shul!
No, the president was not one of those guys. At least, he's a rarity, an honest lawyer. But, what did the Rabbi do? Nothing. Only goes to show you, money talks. (are we at the right shul?)
We may be talking about the same situation. A shul in New Hempstead also. I don't know what you mean that money talks in this situation. I thought it was rotten what they did. I felt really sorry for the victim but I think he can take care of himself. A few of us were upset that the shul let it happen and did nothing. I don't blame the guy they stole from for leaving but I think he should have taken them to a din torah.
What I meant was -- those (alleged) gonovim might be big contributors to the shul, even if they dont' all live in NH anymore. On the other hand, did the victim go to the Rabbi to complain? Who knows?
yes I think we are talking about the same situation. I don't know how much the gonovim gave to the shul. All I know is that they took advantage of another member of the shul, pumped him for information and then stole his business. I don't think he had any idea they were planning to do it because they were friends for a long time before that. What gets me more than anything is that they stole this guy's business and the shul just goes on as usual. I think the victim did go the Rav, but nothing happened. I know he was very frustrated and hurt by the situation. Nobody really cared enough to do anything. I think if this was a different community they would have thrown the gonovim out on their ears. Around Monsey it is OK to steal as long you can get away with it. The rabbonim don't seem to care enough to take a stand.
In your preparation for Pesach, read this:
Thievery, sex scandals, may be something is fundamentally wrong? Read, and remember when you say "Next year in Yerushalayim" in the Seder.
Perhaps, as the articles suggest, all Jews should make aliyah. It does seem strange to say Next Year In Jerusalem and continue to live in New York. On the other hand, the 3rd Bais HaMikdash is not built yet and the Yidden in Eretz Yisrael make the same declaration. They are also in golus. Lastly, this does not answer the question of how Jews can steal from other Jews and just get away with it.

Wanted: Economic developer for region
West Central Telephone Association invited a cross-section of area leaders to a wine and cheese gathering, held at their Sebeka office after business hours. The wine and cheese gathering was a prelude to a presentation by Lee Miller of the Region Five Economic Development Commission and Tony Mayer, WCTA's general manager/CEO outlining a new economic development project initiative. They both emphasized that this project is for the entire region, without regard to county, township or political boundaries. The purpose of the project is to promote the region, attract new business into the area and promote existing businesses, in part by hiring a grant writer/coordinator.
The need for an organized effort was established after a feasibility study in the fall of 2008. Even before the economic downturn for the nation, Wadena County had a low per capita income and had many poverty indicators. A concerted effort in economic development and redevelopment is necessary for reducing poverty and sustaining the community.
To accomplish this, a grant writer/coordinator will be hired to lead the project. The WCTA Board of Directors fully supports this initiative and has pledged $20,000. Other donations are necessary for this project to become a reality. Tony Mayer and Bruce Kinnunen, WCTA's president, plan to visit area businesses and community leaders to further promote the initiative and secure additional funding. Pledges of any amount and volunteers are welcome.
Once adequate funding goals are reached, the donors will meet to organize a board, develop a strategic plan, and hire or contract a grant writer for economic development.
About 40 people were in attendance, and several recognized this as an exciting opportunity for the region. One attendee asked, "How can we not fund this and support it?"
The goal was to have a diverse cross-section of community representation, and was nowhere near all-inclusive of community leaders. Mayer concluded the event by asking attendees to begin spreading the word to other community leaders. If you missed the event for any reason or would like to know more about this project, you are urged to contact Tony Mayer at (218) 837-5151 or e-mail to email@example.com.

So it seems these bad boys have been bumped out of the Hearty Vegan book, due out next fall, but that's okay, because now I get to share them with you here instead! Seriously, these are donut-shop-dangerously good, and if they didn't make the final cut, well then, you know the stuff that did must be insanely good, right?
Just like the ones at Ye Old Donut Shoppe! A deep fryer works best here, but if you don't have one, a pot filled with 2 inches (5 cm) of oil heated to 350°F (180°C) will do the trick just fine. Also, a wire rack comes in handy for drips and such. Be sure to place a kitchen towel or a few paper towels underneath it to catch the mess. This recipe calls for quick rise yeast to avoid a second one hour rise and get those warm fresh fritters in your belly faster!
For the dough:
1 cup (235 ml) water, heated to lukewarm
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup (75 g) evaporated cane juice or granulated sugar, divided
1 envelope (1/4 ounce, or 7 g) Quick-Rise yeast [[it can't be quick-rise and active dry]]
2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (235 ml) soymilk
4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the apples:
2 cups (220 g) cored, peeled, and finely chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup (100 g) evaporated cane juice or granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the glaze:
2 cups (240 g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/4 cup (60 ml) nondairy milk
Vegetable oil, for frying
To make the dough: Combine the water and 2 tablespoons (25 g) of the sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until lukewarm, about 30 seconds. Stir in the yeast and let sit for a few minutes until bubbles appear, to ensure the yeast is active. Mix the oil and milk into the yeast mixture.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, add more flour as needed, and knead for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and pliable. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. The kneading time will be the same, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
Place the dough ball back into the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rest for 20 minutes, while you prep the apples.
To prepare the apples: Add the chopped apples, sugar, and cinnamon to a resealable bag or container with a tight-fitting lid. Close and toss to completely coat the apples. Set aside.
After the 20-minute rise, work the apple mixture into the dough (in the bowl), distributing the apples evenly. The dough will become wet and sticky. That's okay. Once the apples are thoroughly folded in, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour to rise.
To make the glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk in a shallow dish until smooth. Set aside.
Using your deep fryer or a deep pot, heat the oil to 350°F (180°C). Scoop about 1/2 cup (140 g) of dough out of the bowl (yes, it is slimy and slippery!) and form into an oblong disk shape with your bare hands. Carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until dark golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through using tongs. Transfer to a wire rack to drain off the excess oil.
Once the fritter is cool enough to handle, but still warm, dip in the glaze and return to the rack. Once the glaze has hardened, flip over and dip the other side, then return to the wire rack. Enjoy warm.
Yield: 1 dozen fritters

What we do Research and Enterprise provides support to our academic colleagues to help them identify and secure funding for their research, develop impact and help make their expertise and intellectual property available to non-academic users. This area of the website explains the services we provide, offers some initial advice and guidance on some specialist processes (and associated terminology) and provides the contacts to access a range of support services and resources.
More support to help you grow To increase both our capacity and capability to help our academic colleagues meet the 2013-2020 Strategic Plan goals, R&E is growing. We now have two dedicated science Research and Business Development teams – one focussed on Life Sciences and one on Physical Sciences. We continue to have a Research and Business Development Manager focussed on Computer Sciences, Mathematics and Information Security. For colleagues in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, we are currently in the process of recruiting two new specialist Impact and Business Development Managers. In the Research Services team, we now have a new EU Grants and Proposals Manager; we are also recruiting a Research Information Manager and a Grant Setup Officer to provide additional support to our Grant Setup Manager, who will also be taking on the responsibility for managing the administrative support for our REF2020 submission.
There is also a new unit in Research and Enterprise - PGR Scholarships Development and Support. The unit is managed by Jane Gawthrope, assisted by Carol Hughes. The unit will provide high level advice and support for those developing and preparing bids for RCUK (and other) PGR funding and Doctoral Training Partnerships (or equivalent), as well as providing administrative support for existing DTPs, such as AHRC TECHNE and the ESRC South East DTCWe are keen to improve the services we offer and welcome feedback and encourage you to contact us at any time.
Tony Greenwood Director, Research and EnterpriseMarch 2016
Research and Enterprise is organised into two teams:
Academic colleagues should phone or email their RBD / Impact contact to discuss any aspect of developing their research funding, impact or commercial activities (licensing, consultancy, and spin-outs). Your RBD contact will also be able to arrange operational support, such as new grant setup as well as detailed grant application guidance, costing, intellectual property and contract advice and services. We particularly encourage contact from new academic members of staff and early career researchers. The RBD team is also able to work closely with commercial partners, investors and other parties interested in licensing intellectual property or commissioning consultancy or research.
The two Impact Managers support academics make an impact beyond academia with their research - past, present and future. They help build communities of interest around research topics and with faculties, R&E and other professional services teams, they support information sharing, learning and skills in relation to impact, college-wide. The Impact Managers also advise the faculties and departments on REF2020 case studies and review, as appropriate, the Pathways to Impact sections of funding applications.
The Research Services team is headed by Craig Bryce and provides operational grant setup and grant application support, guidance, costing as well as intellectual property and contracts advice and services.
Research Services also manages our main research systems, PURE (our research information system) and pFACT (our research costing and authorisation system). Research Services are also managing the administrative support for REF2020. With colleagues from IT and the Library Service, we are also helping to design and put into place a new research data service - Research Data Management - advice and support .
Contact details are available on the Research and Enterprise contacts page.

Last week there were some updates leaked for Windows Vista. These updates promised to cure the problems that have plagued many Vista users, including the slow file transfer times and slow resuming from standby.
Microsoft must have decided that it would just be best if they released the updates to the public instead of holding them back any longer. So here are the links you'll need to download these packages:
Windows Vista Performance Pack (KB938979):
- x86 Homepage (Direct Download) – 9.9MB
- x64 Homepage (Direct Download) – 14.1MB
Windows Vista Compatibility Pack (KB938194):
- x86 Homepage (Direct Download) – 2.1MB
- x64 Homepage (Direct Download) – 3.6MB
Note: You'll notice that the direct download links still retrieve the files from Microsoft, but bypass the WGA check.
These updates are the same as the ones that were leaked, so if you had already installed those there is no need to download these. Microsoft also said that they will be distributing the patches via Windows Update, but did not give a date as to when. Many people are speculating that it will be happening next Tuesday, August 14th which is when Microsoft will unleash their Windows patches for the month.
I've been using these updates for almost a week now and I have to say that they make a tremendous difference in Vista's performance. File transfer times are lightning fast, it doesn't take forever for the "time remaining" to be calculated, resuming from standby is much more prompt, and a number of other things have been fixed. Microsoft is extremely smart for releasing these patches now and satisfying their current customers, rather than bundling the fixes with SP1 just so that they can boast a more powerful service pack.
Here's a detailed list of what issues the individual packs address:
Windows Vista Performance Pack:
- You experience a long delay when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.
- A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
- If User Account Control is disabled on the computer, you cannot install a network printer successfully. This problem occurs if the network printer is hosted by a Windows XP-based or a Windows Server 2003-based computer.
- When you write data to an AVI file by using the AVIStreamWrite function, the file header of the AVI file is corrupted.
- When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.
- After you resume the computer from hibernation, it takes a long time to display the logon screen.
- When you synchronize an offline file to a server, the offline file is corrupted.
- If you edit an image file that uses the RAW image format, data loss occurs in the image file.
- After you resume the computer from hibernation, the computer loses its default gateway address.
- Poor memory management performance occurs.
Windows Vista Compatibility Pack:
- The screen may go blank when you try to upgrade the video driver.
- The computer stops responding, and you receive a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error message. You can restart the computer only by pressing the computer's power button.
- The computer stops responding or restarts unexpectedly when you play video games or perform desktop operations.
- The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) stops responding when the computer is under heavy load or when very little memory is available. This problem prevents diagnostics from working.
- The screen goes blank after an external display device that is connected to the computer is turned off. For example, this problem may occur when a projector is turned off during a presentation.
- A computer that has NVIDIA G80 series graphic drivers installed stops responding.
- Visual appearance issues occur when you play graphics-intensive games.
- You experience poor playback quality when you play HD DVD disks or Blu-ray disks on a large monitor.
- Applications that load the Netcfgx.dll component exit unexpectedly.
- Windows Calendar exits unexpectedly after you create a new appointment, create a new task, and then restart the computer.
- Internet Connection Sharing stops responding after you upgrade a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP to Windows Vista and then restart the computer.
- The Printer Spooler service stops unexpectedly.
- You receive a "Stop 0x0000009F" error when you put the computer to sleep while a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection is active.
Thanks for the tip CoryC!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2013 (1351 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There was no such thing as an off-season for Churchill High School football players Liam Waugh, Dustin Jackson, Will Reimer and Bryson McNeil as the Bulldogs hockey team opened its season Nov. 5 at the Sam Southern Arena, taking on the Linden Christian Wings.
Hockey head coach Mike Harris said that the team had made special adjustments in order to accommodate the football players who make up a third of their team.
"We scheduled practices later in the evening and early in the mornings so we could have the football guys at practice."
Coach Harris added that there was excellent communication between the hockey and football coaches.
Assistant hockey coach Colin Shaw said "football was a great way to keep the guys in awesome shape for the hockey season."
As for the game, Linden Christian scored late in the first and early in the second period to take a quick 2-0 lead.
An undisciplined Bulldogs team took too many penalties, leaving itself short-handed for most of the second period, which eventually resulting in another LC goal.
The match went the way first regular season games usually go, as the Dawgs were sloppy compared to a more finely-tuned LC team, which was playing the sixth game of its regular season.
The Bulldogs were granted a later start date to their hockey season as they waited for football to end.
"We just need more game-situation experience and we'll be all right," Harris said.
As the Ice Dawgs marched into the dressing room for intermission, down 3-0, their heads were hung low.
Goalie McNeil made a couple big saves to begin the third period as both teams came out on fire. But the Dawgs simply couldn't put one past the LC goaltender until the Dawgs got a break and captain Dustin Jackson scored a beautiful backhand goal on a breakaway.
The LC goalie then stood on her head as the third continued to heat up.
For the most part, the third was cleaner, better hockey and even with the net empty the Bulldogs lost a tough game 3-1.
Best of luck to the Dawgs with the rest of their season.

Thanks, those are seriously non functional controls of course that will freeze the cooling tower in spots depending on the load, but not the chilled water side of the system....
The problem is caused by s defective cooling tower sump water temperature controller...
Tower water temp 50 degrees. Too much sub cooling. Chiller at 29%, concern about possible freeze up. Please give an explain the seriousness of a possible freeze up in the chiller. Turning off one tower would increase the heat load to prevent a possible freeze up.
Tell me if the cooling tower fans are VFD controlled
The chiller barrel will have freeze lock out thermostats mounted at two places or more..with red reset buttons on them. Those must not be set below 36F.. thats because water freezes at 32F if there is no glycol in the system.. and the thermostats can easily go out of calibration by a few degrees.
see the picture I posted, virtually all of them are of that type.
If the chiller barrel tubes freeze *once.. they will not generally break... but they can.. if the chiller barrel tubes freeze repeatedly they rupture and fill the refrigrant side of the system with water.
On larger chillers with direct drive compressors, (motors external to the refrigerant circuit) its a problem but does not ruin the compressors, the fix is to plug or replace the ruptured tubes... tapered brass plugs are made for that purpose.
In your situation it is unlikely that freezing the cooling tower will have that effect... that is not an entirely damaging situation at this point
but does need to be corrected.
You can run with the cooling tower fans off until the sump comes back up to 50F
as long as the pumps still circulate condenser water through the tower .. they should be ok at this point.
*** there are two types of cooling tower fan control... fan cycling, and variable frequency drive.
various types of controllers are used depending on which... its not much of a job for a good controls man to sort out what the problem is in either case.
Its bad temperature sensor in either case as a rule.... only the type and wiring strategy change.
You may click the accept button for answers to date if you like, that way you can follow up on the same dime, days or months later as needed.
If the chiller would freeze up on a 1300 ton, how high could the repairs go in the event of this? I am aware a chiller should shut down prior to freeze up but there is a possibility that the safety does not work. At what point would you increase the heat load prior to the safety in the event you are not around to monitor closely the chiller.

But isnt the pic a untrue one compared to that of S3 ,cause it shows light which does not exist or is overexposing. Just asking thats all . :D
8. jsdechavez (Posts: 758; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Your comment is totally paradoxical to what all these engineers are aiming for. Go get a camera without flash. You mentioned more natural on the S3 screen? You mean the oversaturated amoled? LCDs are always better at color reproduction than amoled. Just saying.
9. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1236; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
they should compare to a dslr and a normal digital camera and see which one is the closest the lumia 920 simply lets in more light
10. dexter_jdr (Posts: 1163; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
go to theverge.com or search here on PA
they have the VERY FIRST comparison of lumia 920 vs other phones including s3, iphone etc

Ban on Women in Combat Lifted: Is the Military Ready?
Posted by: Lisa A. Mazzie
Category: Civil Rights, Congress & Congressional Power, Federal Law & Legal System, Feminism, Public
1 Comment »
This week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that the military's ban on women in combat will be lifted. According to the Department of Defense, 14.6% of the nation's military is made up of women; according to The N.Y. Times and Huffington Post, more than 280,000 of them were deployed during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. While those women were banned from combat, they often saw combat action nonetheless, as they were attached to battalions in positions that sometimes came under fire. Of the more than 6,600 troops killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, 152 of them have been women.
There may still be some combat positions that women will not be allowed to fill; however, the presumption seems to be that all combat positions are open to women unless a particular branch of the military requests an exception and presumably has the burden to prove why women should not be so allowed. Previous opposition to women in combat often revolved around concerns about women's strength and whether their presence might hurt unit cohesion. Clearly, not all women will be physically capable of certain assignments. But then again, neither are all men. At least now, those women who are capable and who want to fill those assignments will have the opportunity to do so. The argument about unit cohesion is also one that had long been made against allowing gays—and African Americans before them—to serve in the military. That argument, too, has been debunked, and since 2012, LBGT soldiers can serve openly.
Allowing women in combat opens up hundreds of thousands of new jobs for women and allows women the opportunity to climb the ranks in the military. Without combat leadership experience, military advancement, regardless of the soldier's gender, is limited. In the past, this limitation disproportionately stifled women's military careers. No longer. As The New York Times reported, General Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in a letter that the lifting of the ban ensures "that women as well as men 'are given the opportunity to succeed.'"
Despite the public support for allowing women in combat, there are those who oppose the idea, with one retired army general calling it "a vast social experiment in which hundreds of thousands of men and women will be the guinea pigs." The decision, he maintains, is ideologically based and not militarily based.
Such rhetoric is reminiscent of Chief Justice Rehnquist's in Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. 57 (1981). In that case, the Court, in a 6-3 decision, upheld Congress' refusal to require women register for the draft under the Military Selective Service Act (MSSA). The Court held that Congress' gender-based discrimination of requiring males aged 18-26 but not females aged 18-26 to register for the draft did not violate the Fifth Amendment's due process clause. Chief Justice Rehnquist's logic seems to have rested primarily on two bases: first, that the Court should defer to Congress in matters regarding the military, as Congress has broad constitutional power over national defense and military affairs; and second, that the sole purpose of registration is to provide a pool of eligible bodies for combat troops. Since women at that time were banned from combat positions, there would be no point in requiring them to register. Chief Justice Rehnquist cited portions of Congressional testimony that stated the request to include women in the draft at that time (1981) was based out of equity rather than due to military needs, a point not completely borne out by the entire record. Even in 1981, women were in the service and filled many necessary non-combat roles, roles that still would need to be staffed in the event that combat troops would need to be mobilized.
Justice Marshall, in dissent, began, "The Court today places its imprimatur on one of the most potent remaining public expressions of ancient canards about the proper role of women." Rostker, 453 U.S. at 86 (Marshall, J., dissenting) (internal quotations omitted). Justice Marshall does not elaborate on whether women are suited for combat or whether they should be drafted at all; he recognizes the question before the Court was more narrow: it was solely whether the statute that required men to register under the MSSA but excluded women from registering violated equal protection.
The decision to allow women in combat seriously undermines the rationale of Rostker and suggests that women, too, should be required under the MSSA to register for the draft. However, that topic, and the issues it raises, is for another day.
At the heart of Justice Rehnquist's and Congress' decision to exclude women from registration because they were banned from serving as combat troops was their understanding that women are not suited for combat. Somehow, incorporating women on the front lines messes things up for the military. Retired Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin recently said,
These units can often be deployed in prolonged operations that can last for months. The physical toll is constant and wearing. During operations of this kind there is typically no access to a base of operations or facilities. Consequently, living conditions can be abysmal and base.
There is routinely no privacy or ability to maintain personal hygiene for extended periods. Soldiers and Marines have to relieve themselves within sight of others.
Apparently only men can handle a "prolonged" operation that is physically draining and where living conditions are "abysmal and base." Boykin has apparently forgotten that most women routinely—and more than once—handle the physically draining prolonged operation of being pregnant and bearing children. And I suppose if living conditions are "abysmal and base," that means there is no place to plug in a hair dryer or put on makeup, much less get a manicure, which is obviously what women soldiers would need while in combat. The whole privacy issue is a none-too-subtle way of indicating that women's monthly biology remains mysterious and frightening to men, for I can't imagine that any person relishes a lack of privacy when relieving him or herself.
Frankly, not all men can handle such conditions, just as not all women can. But those who can, should be allowed to. It seems to me that it's quite possible for co-ed troops to co-exist and they can do so more times than not without any "underlying sexual tensions," another point that Boykin believes will undermine the effectiveness of combat troops. Suggesting that there will be "underlying sexual tensions" harms both men and women for it suggests that men's ability to focus on a life-threatening situation is significantly reduced if not obliterated by the mere presence of a woman and it suggests that a woman's purpose on the front line is to seduce a man or that she, too, will be distracted from her duties because of the men. This is not to say that when men and women meet in any environment that there are never "underlying sexual tensions," for that would not be true. But it diminishes both sexes to suggest that those tensions, if any, affect both sexes' ability to perform professionally and properly. Surely we as humans are more than just our libidos.
The lifting of the ban places the United States with roughly a dozen other countries that allow women to serve as part of combat units, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, New Zealand, and Norway. It's a welcome change.
Special thanks to my research assistant Greg Helding (2L) for discussing this post with me while I was drafting it.

CHRISTINE Harries had to relinquish her Welsh Senior Ladies' Open title as she could only finish fourth behind winner Ann Lewis in this year's championship at Langland Bay.
Llanwern veteran Harries, who next Wednesday tees off in the Senior Ladies' British Amateur Championship at Hunstanton in Norfolk, came in eight shots adrift of Lewis on 13-over-par.
Lewis, a member of Royal St David's near Harlech, carded rounds of 77 and 74 for a 36-hole total of 151, seven strokes ahead of former champions Jane Rees and Vicki Thomas, who tied for second.
Harries managed scores of 80 and 79, which included an eagle in each round, but on the day her game wasn't quite good enough to see her retain the trophy she won at Abergele in 2011.
Just missing out on a place in the top-five was Dewstow's Patricia Fernon as she finished in a tie for sixth alongside Shan Lewis of Carmarthen, one shot behind Denise Richards, on 17-over-par.
Another Llanwern golfer, Ann Harrison, put in a solid display for a share of 20th while Monmouth's Marion Workman didn't have the best of tournaments, coming home in 43rd after two rounds of 100-plus.
After their exploits in Swansea, Harries and Fernon will represent their country in early October having been selected to play for Wales in the Senior Ladies' Home Internationals at Elie & Earlsferry in the Scottish town of Fife.
Newport's Andrew Willi-ams won't have as far to travel when he makes the trip to Southerndown for the Senior Men's Home Internationals from Sept-ember 18-20 – an event Ireland have won for the last four years.
Williams is joined in the Welsh team by Paul Bloomfield (Chippenham), Nigel Evans (St Mellons), Stephen Hopkins (Whitc-hurch), Gary Huggett (Llanymynech), Glyn Rees (Fleetwood), and Jeffrey Thomas (Royal Porthcawl).
Still on the national scene, Jessica Evans more than held her own during the Ladies' Home Internationals in Cork as Wales came a close second behind England.
The Newport youngster sat out the 6-3 win over Scotland before halving her singles match against Ireland's Jessica Carty as Wales beat the hosts by the same scoreline.
Then against the English, Evans and Gemma Bradbury teamed up to beat Alexandra Peters and Kelly Tidy 2&1 in the foursomes. However, Evans was beaten 3&2 by Amber Ratcliffe in the singles.
A better back-nine gave Woodlake Park's Craig Sadler fourth place in the Welsh Individual Handicap Championship at Llandr-indod Wells after he and three others, including Gareth Davies of Pontypool, returned rounds of two-over-par 71.
The category A title, for players with handicaps up to 12, was won by Builth Wells's Guy Walker, also on countback, from Phillip Dixon, a member of St Andrews Major.
Elsewhere, Tom Price (Monmouthshire) finished just outside the top 10 on five-over-par with Owen Lloyd (Monmouth) three shots back and Paul Way (Dewstow) on +13.
There was an even tighter finish in the battle for first prize in category B (handicaps 13-28) with four men shooting level-par rounds of 69. The quartet included Martin Kenyon of Raglan Parc, Richard Dymond of Woodlake Park and Alice Springs's Dave Bradbury.
Unfortunately for them, it was the fourth player, Simon Sweet of Tenby, who came out on top courtesy of a better back-nine. His 34 strokes was one better than Kenyon and Dymond and two clear of Bradbury.
Connor Phillips (Monmo-uthshire), Andrew Taylor (Dewstow), Paul Jones (Monmouth) and Hugh Williams (Parc) came in further down the field.
The draw for the semi-finals of the Ping Mixed Foursomes has been made and Woodlake Park now know they will play Clays of Wrexham for the chance to meet either Carmarthen or Pennard in the final on October 8. The last four ties take place at Neath earlier on the same day when the Plate competition will also be contested. Alice Springs and St Pierre are two clubs competing for that accolade.
Dewstow's Louise Fraser required countback over the final three holes to take the Monmouthshire Ladies' Py-man Marsh Bowl ahead of clubmate Jenny Sayer.
Both women totalled 32 stableford points on their home course but it was Fraser who just had the edge to finish top of the silver division stakes. Raglan Parc's Kath Weare was third just one point behind.
And the host club were celebrating a double as Diane Pollard's 32 points gave her the Peglar Cup for winning the bronze division.
Deborah Hudson made it a Dewstow one-two with Josie Wood of Pontnewydd third and Newport's Margaret Bowen claimed the veterans' prize with 25 points.
A three-hole play-off was needed to determine Tredegar & Rhymney's club champion for 2012 after Matthew Trigg, Alun Davies and Darren Sullivan couldn't be separated at the end of 36 holes. In the end it was Trigg who prevailed to become the champion with Davies and Sullivan having to settle for second prize.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/5/2010 (2662 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The folks at True North Sports and Entertainment aren't making a peep right now.
Don't be fooled, however, into thinking there's no action going on in the downtown rink's basement offices.
Monday night's late-breaking news that Ice Edge Holdings has stepped away from its negotiations with the city of Glendale didn't change the no comment stance the organization has taken on the subject of the NHL returning to Winnipeg.
Don't be surprised, however, if phone discussions and meetings were keeping True North chairman Mark Chipman and his people busy after the news began emanating from Phoenix.
"Talks have broken off," Ice Edge Holdings chief operating officer Daryl Jones told the Free Press late Monday night. "We were adamant about needing exclusivity in these negotiations and they haven't provided it. I'm not totally surprised. We've been dealing with this for a while. We thought we had agreed to certain things and expected them in writing. That didn't materialize."
Ice Edge had been working with Glendale city council to draft a lease agreement that was agreeable to both parties. Once a lease was agreed upon, Ice Edge had hoped to buy the Coyotes from the NHL, which purchased the club out of bankruptcy last fall.
Glendale city council is still expected to vote on a request to satisfy a number of NHL demands, including one that would see the city put together a financial guarantee to cover any losses incurred by the Coyotes for the 2010-11 season if the NHL is forced to operate the team for a second season.
"No comment," was all True North Sports and Entertainment communications director Scott Brown had to say when reached Monday and asked about the latest developments in Phoenix.
Ice Edge stepping out of the deal will leave Glendale city council with the choice of agreeing to cover losses for next season while the NHL tries to find a new buyer or to refuse the option and likely see the Coyotes relocated to a new city.
The hockey world is waiting to see what unfolds as the NHL and the city of Glendale battle in an attempt to keep hockey in the desert. True North is sitting off to the side and watching with interest like a duck on a pond, all calm on the surface but paddling furiously below the waterline.
Should the Coyotes become available for relocation, the NHL and True North are in position to act fast and come to a quick agreement. A deal to purchase an NHL team usually takes months but Chipman and his team have been working alongside the NHL for some time and the majority of work on such a pact has been done.
Chipman isn't interested in making headlines about rumours and hypothetical situations. His goal is to secure an NHL team.
They've mostly made the correct moves and now find themselves close to a checkmate position. True North has made no secret of their interest in acquiring an NHL franchise if and when a deal is presented that makes sense.
Is that the Coyotes? Maybe. But at this stage, that deal sits in the hands of seven civic politicians in Glendale, Ariz.
Glendale city council will vote tonight to accept or turn down a list of demands put forth by the NHL. Chief among them is a guarantee to cover operating losses incurred by the Coyotes next season if the team cannot be sold to a group that will operate the team at Jobing.com Arena going forward.
It should be noted that any vote by Glendale city council does not end this saga one way or another. If they vote no to the NHL's demands, the heat gets turned up and True North will likely find itself in position to try and complete negotiations with the NHL over the purchase of the Coyotes. An agreement could be finalized in a matter of days.
A yes vote merely gives Glendale city manager Ed Beasley the authority to attempt to satisfy the NHL's conditions. There's no guarantee that will happen and the window to get it done is days, not weeks.
The NHL wants "certain immediate financial commitments and assurances," and if they can't receive them it's believed the league will begin the process of selling the franchise to a group that would relocate the team. Winnipeg is at the top of the list of potential relocation markets.
That's where Chipman and his group would come in. There have been reports that a purchase agreement between True North and the NHL is already in place but no one from True North has confirmed those reports.
More likely is a situation where Chipman and the NHL have discussed what both parties would need for a deal to be brokered and work has been done in the background to get each group in position to satisfy those needs.
A deal, such as purchasing and relocating an NHL franchise, can't normally be done in a week.
True North, however, should they enter negotiations to purchase the Coyotes from the NHL, wouldn't have the luxury of time to close a deal either if they want to play in the 2010-11 season.
Most of the details will have to be worked out in a short time and True North isn't in the habit of being disorganized. Somewhere, in an office with several locks on the door, are True North's NHL plans. You can be sure of that.
If you'll recall, Chipman and Co. quietly went about their business putting together an arena package and made no noise about it until the project was shovel-ready with financing, land and contractors in place.
You can see the results of that method of operation by driving down Portage Avenue and checking out the MTS Centre, home of the AHL's Manitoba Moose but capable of housing an NHL team.
Silence has been golden for Chipman in the past and to date his strategy has been sound.
Perhaps you'll be able to see the fruits of that labour playing against the likes of the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs as soon as this fall.

Picture: Yusuf Islam formally aka Cat Stevens and Fauzia Islam The 3rd Fortune Forum Summit at the Dorchester Hotel - Arrivals London, England - 03.03.09
Singer/songwriter Yusuf Islam returned to the U.S. stage for the first time in 33 years on Monday (11May09) when he played a set in Los Angeles.
The folk star, formerly known as Cat Stevens, was due to make his American comeback with a show in New York earlier this month (03May09), but it was postponed due to a visa issue.
However, the 60-year-old's U.S. immigration problems were resolved in time for his private album release party at the El Rey Theatre on Monday night - and Islam made light of the situation as he played to the 400 fans in attendance.
He told the crowd, "I bet you thought we'd never make it."
Islam treated the audience to a string of classics, including Peace Train, Where Do the Children Play? and Wild World, as well as tracks from his new disc Roadsinger.
He last performed in the U.S. in 1976, before turning his back on his music career after converting to Islam.
More recent attempts to return to the country have been plagued by immigration difficulties. In 2004, the star found himself in front of panicked Homeland Security officials in Maine when his flight to Nashville, Tennessee, was diverted.
He was en-route to record music for his 2006 album An Other Cup.
Islam and his daughter, who was accompanying him, were detained for hours because his name was similar to one on a federal list of people considered dangerous to the U.S. in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

adjusting a pop riveter
my rivet gun breaks too soon. it leaves one end not mashed enough. how do you adjust the handle to make it break later?
If it is a manual riveter, squeeze once, release and push down again to get another bite closer to the rivet. Squeeze again until it breaks.
thats the problem. i get about 2 or 3 bites and it still snaps early.
Shorter rivets?
Check for correct tip attachment? There could just be a defect in the gun too. If all else fails put it on the yard sale list or deep six it.
I am an ole retired US Naval Aviation AMSC. Have shot and bucked a zillion rivets in my day. But, We rarely used blind rivets on aircraft.
When shooting blind rivets. The length of the rivet in ratio to the thickness of the material is going to govern when the shaft will break off. I hope a cross reference chart came with your rivet kit. If not, you may find one on line.
Isolate the problem.
Have a buddy stop by with his gun and some of his rivets.
Try your gun/his rivets and his gun/your rivets.
Work the problem from there. I am guessing either 1) tight jaws on your gun or 2) bad run of cheap rivets.
One of them deserves to go away.
im going to test some different rivets. thanks...AMS.

Merge Edit
Is this really a different occupation than arms dealer? Wikipedia, at least, has gunrunning and arms trafficking as one page. I say those are different terms for the same thing, so merge. Kennelly (talk) 17:32, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
- You're unspokenly equating saying arms dealer = arms trafficking to make that argument. Gun running might be synonymous with arms trafficking, but that doesn't mean it's the same as arms dealing. One is always illegal and involves smuggle, whereas the latter can be perfectly respectable. -- Capricorn (talk) 00:02, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
But the arms dealer page is about both, the legal and the illegal selling of weapons, so why a separate article about another term for someone who illegally deals in weapons? Kennelly (talk) 13:46, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
- That is a completely different argument from the one you made initially. Still I'd say they should remain separate, for the same reason gun runner should not be merged into smuggling: just because A is such a general subject that B can be said to be an example of A, does not mean that B is not a distinct subject. -- Capricorn (talk) 21:24, January 12, 2016 (UTC)

I have had a horrible time struggling through art block since I was a young adult. It was when I began to see the flaws in my drawing, due to a lack of clear teaching at uni, (and my own total inability to organize and focus) and lost confidence. I could be very expressive, but felt ashamed of my lack of precision.
I have always kept drawing, it's something absolutely vital to my sense of who I am and to express myself, but it's a ghastly struggle a lot of the time, plus I have pretty limited psychological energy at the best of times.
Ironically, this coiling upon yourself is not great for precision. You need to be calm if not happy when drawing, and even making a mark seemed fraught with tension for me after a certain point. Fellow blogger Kirsty once told me of an interesting experiment once conducted: a group of students were split up- one instructed to produce a perfect work of art, the other to produce lots. The latter group produced the best work- the perfectionists struggled and struggled, completely tense, and produced barely any work, which ended up stiff anyway.
I am trying to loosen up my drawing muscles by working more regularly, but with less harsh expectations, but it is difficult to squash that inner voice which damns but does not help. Friends always tell me I am creative, but if they could see how frustrated I am with my slowness and the grinding difficulty of letting myself make ugly mistakes, I wonder what they would think.
Anyway, I quite like Leroy's blog post in which she posts up an unfinished work. I have always been paralysed at this point, due to fear of wrecking what's there however basic, and in having to make further decisions. I hate spoiling the original mood of the picture and find it hard to keep in the same headspace to finish it sincerely.
So I thought it might be fun to post up a random doodle to remind myself that the important thing is to keep going, while not taking yourself so manically seriously that you grind to a halt. You can always chuck out mistakes, I guess, or change them. Of course it isn't quite as easy as that!

Polls: Obama leads in N.H., tighter in Nev., N.C.
Source: NBC News
(NBC NEWS) President Barack Obama leads Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in New Hampshire, and the two are locked in tight contests in Nevada and North Carolina, according to a new series of NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls released Thursday.
Obama is ahead of Romney, 51 percent to 44 percent, among likely voters in New Hampshire. He also edges Romney in Nevada and North Carolina, but within the margin of error.
In Nevada, Obama gets the support of 49 percent of likely voters and Romney gets 47 percent. In North Carolina, its Obama at 48 percent and Romney at 46 percent. Among registered voters in all three states, Obamas lead expands to 8 points in New Hampshire, 4 points in North Carolina, and a wider 7 points in Nevada.)
The presidents approval rating in New Hampshire is at 50 percent, up from 47 percent in June. In North Carolina and Nevada, its 47 percent unchanged in North Carolina and up just a point in Nevada.
Obama is viewed more favorably in all three states than Romney. In New Hampshire, a state where Romneys a known commodity and campaigned heavily during the Republican primary, 52 percent had an unfavorable opinion of him.
In Nevada, Romney is seen negatively by almost a majority of respondents (48 percent), while 45 percent of the states voters viewed him favorably.
Romneys favorability rating was net-positive only in North Carolina, though opinion on the former Massachusetts governor was nearly split. Romneys favorable score was 46 percent; 45 percent viewed him negatively.

We need to win every state not just swing states. We need to send a message that MILLONARIE's can't buy elections. Think of the look on Sheldon, Rove's and Koch Bros faces when they see that their boy loses on Nov 6!! Millions of dollars for nothing! That is what should motivate you to put up yard signs, make calls, go door to door or just give a couple of bucks to a democrat

Because he is going to lose Ohio. And right now Obama leads in all of those states.

Oxford Brookes University
Primary 5-11
The programme is designed to equip our students with a professional understanding of primary education, children's learning and a number of approaches to classroom teaching. The programme develops our students' knowledge of relevant subject areas, learning needs and teaching approaches across the primary curriculum so that they can teach both within and beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum. A substantial part (24 weeks) of each student's time on the programme is spent in partner schools where, under the close supervision of a mentor and supported by a university tutor, the students integrate their university-based learning with school-based learning. The programme has 2 integrated elements of training, the University-based element and the school-based element. University-based training feeds into school-based work and, in turn, various aspects of school-based training and experience feed back into the university programme. The amount of time required to undertake school-based training is a minimum of 24 weeks. Students are given opportunities to observe and work alongside expert practitioners in at least 2 schools, and work with pupils of differing abilities across the age range for which they are being trained to teach.
Entry requirements
Entry requirements are defined in part by the Department for Education and consist of: a recognised degree at 2.2, or degree equivalent. It is helpful, but not essential, for the content of your degree to be appropriate to education and the primary curriculum. Passes, or equivalent, at GCE O-Level, CSE grade 1, GCSE Grade C (or above) in English language, mathematics and science. There are checks on English and mathematics competence at interview. Applicants need evidence of satisfactory work with groups of children, including a minimum of 2 weeks experience in a state primary school, prior to application. Satisfactory health and criminal record audits are also necessary. Candidates will not be invited for interview until they have completed the required Professional Skills Tests in literacy and numeracy.
Course modules
Two of the three credit bearing modules within this programme are at level 7(Masters' level): developing reflexive practice and research informed practice; developing professional practice; core curriculum studies; Arts; humanities and PE and three periods of school experience teaching across consecutive age phases within at least two partnership schools are all compulsory elements of the programme.
Assessment methods
Assessment is based on coursework, assignments, performance in school and the achievement of the Teachers' Standards for the Award of Qualified Teacher Status.

Ok I don't wanna be one of those guys with a penis question but I have to ask because I have noticed something on here. So as I have read on here it turns out quite a few girls have been with bigger sized guys like 8inches and such and its supposed to be rare. So now I am asking how many guys have you seen or been with total and like how many have been that 8 in or what ever you perceive 8 inches to be. For example, you have seen 5 total and out of that 5 you believe 2 have been 8in. Feel free to answer anon and guys don't make mean comments.
Most Helpful Girl
Been in the same bed as 6, but only had intercourse with one. Only two of them were average, the rest were small. I slept with one of the average guys. He was about 6 in I would estimate.10|11|1

Southeastern institutional change and biological variation: evidence from the 19th century Tennessee State Prison
The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in economics, and a number of core findings in the literature are widely agreed upon. There are still some populations, places, and times, however, for which anthropometric evidence remains thin. This paper introduces a new dataset from the Tennessee State Prison to track the heights of comparable black and white males born between 1820 and 1906. Shorter statures were associated with close proximity to the Mississippi River, and the largest share of the white–black stature gap was associated with nativity. Black and white statures declined throughout the 19th century, and farmers were taller than non-farmers.

Albert Pujols makes history in the process of putting the Cardinals up 2-1.
"When you have the bat in your hand, you can always change the story," said Reggie Jackson years ago. Mired in the controversy regarding a post-Game Two no-show following his ninth-inning relay flub, Albert Pujols changed the story on Saturday night, becoming just the third player ever to hit three home runs in a World Series game and collecting five hits en route to a Series-record 14 total bases. Before hitting his first home run, Pujols had already collected two hits while helping the Cardinals build an 8-6 lead; his three-run, sixth-inning homer off Alexi Ogando broke the game open en route to a 16-7 rout and a 2-1 Series lead. The Cardinals' 16 runs tied the 2002 Giants and 1960 Yankees for the second-highest single-game total in Series history.

Sizing up every facet of each contender in this season's Fall Classic.
June 6, 2011 2:47 pm
The tater trots for June 5: Wilson Ramos gives us *a lot* of drama with his slow trot; Albert Pujols hits back-to-back walkoff home runs.
I usually do my best to keep abreast of the day's goings on in the baseball world (through Twitter and whatnot) so that I don't accidentally miss something home run-related when I watch through the videos. There are times, though, when I don't get a chance to do that and, as such, go into the home run videos pretty blind only to discover some pretty interesting things happened. Sunday was a day like that.

It's a series that will feature superb pitching staffs, and one team will come away with a long-awaited title.
In baseball as in literature, archetypes tend to be formulaic, proof that fiction falls short of reality when it comes to the power to describe any one thing in shorthand. The need, indeed one of the great benefits of the human mind is to identify patterns, and to peg things that fall within those patterns, or to re-evaluate the pattern as a whole to create some new rubric, some new way of explaining things. Take our current post-season slate: instead of a much-anticipated rematch between the Evil Empire and the Phillies' a-bornin' senior-circuit dynasty, last week we got the pleasure of witnessing imperial ambitions utterly overthrown in both leagues.

The Rangers' director of player development talks about some of the organization's top young players.
The Rangers are one win away from the World Series, and they wouldn't be where they are without the contributions of young talent raised on the Texas farm. Several key players are homegrown, including a pair of 22-year-olds, Elvis Andrus and Neftali Feliz, who arrived via trade but blossomed under the watchful eye of Rangers director of player development Scott Servais. Servais talked about the club's precocious youngsters, and the Texas youth movement, prior to Game Five.

Cruising versus losing in the Big Apple
This time of year, you get to say things like "the Yankees have won every series they've played" and not have to think too hard about the reasons why. But with two wins against the Rangers already booked, they were gunning for a sweep before setting out for next week's West Coast swing through Oakland and Anaheim. Already at 8-3 and close to the Twins for the highest Hit List factor in the league, they were closing out their fourth straight series against an expected contender, having played the Red Sox, Rays, and Angels previously.

Echoes of past Rookie of the Year selections combined with metrics both new and old to inform a particular ballot.
A vote. A vote? A vote.
Being invited to help select this year's American League Rookie of the Year as a new member of the Baseball Writers' Association of America was an unexpected honor, and one I took seriously. By way of process, I started off with a day spent digging up data to inform my sense of who to rank, and where, and why. Then, I spent a day or two caucusing with a quartet of colleagues, inside Baseball Prospectus and out, and putting various arguments through the ringer, and using a variety of tacks, from devil's advocate to fully faithful, and everywhere in between.
