Mystery shrouds Germany's 'most dangerous neo-Nazi'
The woman prosecutors call Germany's most dangerous neo-Nazi took her place in the dock Monday at a landmark trial over a racist killing spree, but despite the high-profile proceedings remains an enigmatic presence.
Beate Zschaepe, known to a horrified Germany only from a dishevelled mugshot and a handful of holiday snaps, strode into the Munich courtroom looking smart and self-confident in a tailored black trouser suit and large hoop earrings.
It was just one more mysterious turn by the 38-year-old, the last surviving member of the far-right National Socialist Underground (NSU) who since her surrender 18 months ago has hidden behind a wall of silence.
When she walked through the door of the police station of Zwickau, a sleepy town in former communist East Germany, on November 8, 2011 to turn herself in, she told officers simply: "I'm the one you're looking for."
Since then, she has refused to divulge any secrets from the previous 14 years which she, according to the authorities, spent underground and on the run as part of a militant trio blamed for 10 murders.
"Everyone in Germany knows her name but no one knows who she is," the daily Die Welt wrote about the woman who has shaken the country's self-image of having learned the lessons of its Nazi past.
Four days before she gave herself up, her two fellow gang members, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Boehnhardt, died in an apparent murder-suicide after a bungled bank heist, finally bringing their lethal NSU to light.
Investigators say the three were locked in a macabre love triangle, robbing banks and living comfortably off the proceeds while they carried out their nationwide hunt for immigrant victims.
Zschaepe, the only surviving member of the group, is suspected of involvement in the killing of nine shopkeepers of Turkish or Greek origin across Germany between 2000 and 2006 and of a German policewoman in 2007, as well as 15 armed robberies, arson and attempted murder.
Dubbed "the Nazi moll" by the German tabloids, Zschaepe faces life in prison.
But those who knew her in Zwickau, where she shared a spacious rented flat with Mundlos and Boehnhardt, say she was a "gentle soul" who never revealed her far-right views.
"She was a kind of big sister, someone with a big heart," a shocked neighbour, who gave her name only as Heike K., told German television.
She said her friend told her her name was Lisa, one of at least nine aliases Zschaepe used over the years.
Federal prosecutors say that although she likely never pulled the trigger, Zschaepe played a "dominant role" in the NSU, maintaining the delicate "emotional link" between herself and her lovers.
She fell first for Mundlos, the soft-spoken son of a university professor often seen taking care of his wheelchair-bound brother, at the age of 16, and later took up with Boehnhardt, a more volatile type with a weakness for weapons.
"Ms Zschaepe acted like a wife but for two men," one of their alleged accomplices told authorities.
Zschaepe held the purse strings, managing the windfalls from their bank hold-ups, prosecutors say.
She juggled several identities while she did the cooking and took care of their two pet cats, Lilly and Heidi.
On November 4, 2011, she allegedly blew up their apartment in a bid to destroy evidence after the death of the two Uwes -- after dropping off the cats with a neighbour.
Zschaepe had a chaotic upbringing. Her mother, Annerose Apel, gave birth to her on January 2, 1975 in the East German city of Jena, purportedly after being unaware she was pregnant.
Her father was believed to be Romanian but refused to acknowledge her as his child.
During the first three years of her life, Beate's last name changed three times until she finally took the surname of her mother's second husband.
The girl spent much of her youth with her grandmother, to whom she has said she is still attached.
Zschaepe was 14 when the Berlin Wall fell, sending economic and ideological shockwaves through communities like hers and leading many to the political extremes.
When she finally gave herself up to police, Zschaepe had not seen her mother or grandmother in over a decade. Investigators say she saw Mundlos and Boehnhardt as her only real family.

Ford enjoys sharing the news on their emerging technologies more than any other major automaker. They prove that every summer at their sprawling campus in Dearborn, Mich.
Sure, the Toyotas, Volkswagens, Mazdas, etc., send out press releases and bring journalists together to learn about the latest advancements. But, Ford assembled more than 200 reporters from different disciplines for two days of seminars and track driving to demonstrate their latest developments.
Seminar subjects included:
Age of Accessible Design: Ford engineers and designers demonstrated how they keep up with an ever-evolving and knowledgeable customer base by watching global visual trends.
Going Beyond the Physical: Journalists got a tour of Ford's virtual reality labs where 3D and other sensory systems test how vehicles interact with drivers and passengers before they go into full production.
Streamline and Simplify: Software specialists unveiled improvements to Ford Sync, voice recognition and how cars interact with smart phones and other consumer gadgets.
Eco-Psychology: By following the principles of the Butterfly Effect – the idea that small actions can lead to big effects – Ford hopes their efforts to develop the ecological construction of their vehicles has a larger effect on public consciousness and environmental conditions.
Urbanization: By 2050, the world could include as many as 4 billion automobiles. Since most of those cars will be focused in cities, Ford analysts and other experts discussed how cities must change and how cars will change with them.
That urban discussion was the most interesting hour spent at the event. Carol Coletta, an urban design leader and head of ArtPlace (an initiative to transform communities), and Gretchen Effgen, Director of Business and Zipcar, led question and answer sessions about the cities of the future.
With issues like urban renewal, increased centralization and sustainability driving the creation or recovery of the modern metropolis, Ford was eager to feature its involvement in the Zipcar revolution.
For the uninitiated, Zipcar provides urban fleets of communal vehicles for short term usage and rentals. It's an especially good idea in cities like New York and San Francisco where traffic is brutal and parking is painfully expensive – making owning a car much more difficult than in suburban or rural areas.
With Zipcar, a would be driver goes to a set pickup point, rents a small car and runs whatever errands are on the day's list. The driver then returns the car to the pickup point or to another Zipcar drop zone nearby in the city. The urban driver can revel in the wonders of transportation without needing to find a permanent or overnight parking space. Ford and their affordable Fiesta models are nuzzled up close with Zipcar in this effort.
As eye opening as the urbanization discussion was, the Eco-Psychology presentation was a little bit of a letdown. Bill Ford, Executive Chairman for Ford Motor Company, is a longtime environmentalist and a driving force between Ford's effort to use recycled material within their cars en route to producing a car that's almost entirely biodegradable. With that in mind, I was hoping for more specific news of Ford's progress during its green seminar.
Instead, we got Adrian Grenier (Vincent Chase from HBO's "Entourage") and his filmmaker partner Peter Glatzer pontificating about green "awareness" and encouraging sustainability. In typical self-aggrandizing Hollywood fashion, both men came off a bit patronizing as they bemoaned the common American's reluctance to embrace the green movement.
The very polite press never asked Grenier how he reconciles his social awareness with the fact that he made most of his money on a TV show that celebrated consumption and a lack of adult responsibility.
That little blip aside, Further with Ford successfully laid out how Ford is laying out millions of dollars to design technological ease and eco-responsible construction into all of their vehicles.

This is the abridged omnibus edition of best-selling author Robert Lacey's three volumes recounting the dramatic story of England, from ancient times to the present day.
© and (P)2006 Hachette Audio
"Great tales indeed"
I was recommended this book by a friend who has bought all three books, which have been abridged into one audiobook. He thought the book would be perfect to listen to while driving as it consisted of many short stories.
He is right, the book is great to listen to, particularly while driving. The book is a collection of historical tales, ordered chronologically from the earliest known evidence of mankind in England to the present day. It isn't a comprehensive history (how could it be?) and cherry picks its way through the most interesting bits (in the author's opinion). The book is full of little bits of trivia.
It is well narrated by the author too. As with many abridged versions though, I would prefer to listen to the whole lot, hence the 4 stars. Perhaps we'll get lucky one day...
I was really looking forward to this book but was really disappointed. I've always had an interest in history and was probably expecting to hear something new however, it was just a basic 'schoolboy' account of the history of this country which I found totally uninspiring.
I would say that it would be fine for those who had very little knowledge of England's history as it did manage to convey the basics quickly and without too much unnecessary fine detail.

After telling a San Francisco crowd that "God hates faggots," '80s/'90s singer-songwriter (and more recently, born-again Christian) Michelle Shocked saw the entirety of her current U.S. tour cancelled practically overnight by venue promoters. Though deeply offensive, her homophobic rant was clearly protected by Free Speech. So can we consider the cancellations acts of censorship? One music industry insider thinks so.
While many in the press and on social media have publicly applauded the venues for wiping out Shocked's tour, music producer and former A&R representative Tim Sommer, who helped launch the careers of the Beastie Boys and Hootie & the Blowfish, stands in staunch opposition to the cancellations, calling the situation "a dangerous precedent to set."
"She really disappeared from the public eye in the late '90s, and I think a lot of people haven't realized what happened to her since then," Sommer, who has previously interviewed the artist on multiple occasions, told Radio.com. "She did become a born-again Christian, a relatively private conversion she made in the last few years. Likewise, she had burned a lot of bridges before this. She had made a lot of bad business and personal decisions in the late '90s and early '00s, and offended a lot of people in the music industry. Since I knew about that and her conversion, I wasn't very surprised by what happened onstage in San Francisco."
In regards to Shocked's now-cancelled tour, Sommer is adamant in his belief that the show promoters are doing the wrong thing and essentially encouraging censorship.
"On one hand, that is the judgment of the promoters, who could be saying [to themselves], 'I don't want angry people showing up to my venue throwing rocks at my windows or boycotting," Sommer offered. "On the other hand, you can't decide what is politically correct or politically incorrect to say. If you cancel someone's show because of something they said, you lose the right to protest when someone cancels a show for making a pro-choice statement, for example. She's not advocating violence. She's speaking a personal thought about what she believes based on her interpretation and belief in the Bible. What she's saying does not fall under the definition of hate-mongering."
Above: full audio of Michelle Shocked's slow-building on-stage rant against homosexuality
Yesterday (March 21), Shocked released two statements regarding the incident, in which she stated in no uncertain terms, "I am damn sorry."
"I do not, nor have I ever, said or believed that God hates homosexuals (or anyone else). I said that some of His followers believe that," Shocked explained in the statement. "I believe intolerance comes from fear, and these folks are genuinely scared. When I said 'Twitter [says] that Michelle Shocked says "God hates faggots,"' I was predicting the absurd way my description of, my apology for, the intolerant would no doubt be misinterpreted. The show was all music, and the audience tweets said they enjoyed it. The commentary came about ten minutes later, in the encore."
She continued: "And to those fans who are disappointed by what they've heard or think I said, I'm very sorry: I don't always express myself as clearly as I should. But don't believe everything you read on Facebook or Twitter. My view of homosexuality has changed not one iota. I judge not. And my statement equating repeal of Prop. 8 with the coming of the End Times was neither literal nor ironic: it was a description of how some folks – not me – feel about gay marriage. The show, and the rant, was spontaneous. As for those applauding my so-called stance that 'God Hates Faggots,' I say they should be met with mercy, not hate. And I hope that what remains of my audience will meet that intolerance with understanding, even of those who might hate them."
"I sort of believe her," Sommer said of Shocked's apology statement. "I think the 'God hates faggots' statement was probably taken out of context."
With her 11-date U.S tour (which was to include a stop at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado) scrapped, Sommers believes Shocked's statement is a carefully-worded attempt at career-salvaging damage control.
"Having her entire tour cancelled like that is censorship, pure and simple," he surmised. "I'm sure she must be very frightened right now. Considering ticket sales and merch, I'm guessing that's somewhere $25-75,000 dollars in lost revenue."
Concluding her first statement, Shocked wrote, "If I could repeat the evening, I would make a clearer distinction between a set of beliefs I abhor, and my human sympathy for the folks who hold them,"I say this not because I want to look better. I have no wish to hide my faults, and – clearly – I couldn't if I tried."

The current at the onset of saturation in a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is shown to be limited by the drain velocity that increases toward its saturation value with the increase in the drain voltage. The saturation of velocity crops up as randomly oriented velocity vectors in equilibrium realign themselves to become unidirectional in the presence of an extremely high electric field. The intrinsic velocity, the ultimate saturation velocity, is the function of carrier concentration and temperature, consistent with the predictions of the ballistic transport. The presence of a quantum emission either by emission of a phonon or photon lowers the saturation velocity below its intrinsic value. Channel conduction beyond the quasisaturation point enhances due to the drain velocity overshoot as a result of enhanced drain electric field as drain voltage is increased. The excellent agreement with experimental data on an 80 nm channel, without using any artificial parameters, confirms the value of ballistic transport in a high electric field.

Petraeus scandal spreads
Top commander in Afghanistan under scrutiny
Heretic: Here's a thought: If Russia had no occupying force in Syria, no generals would get killed. Just a thought. War is a dangerous business. The general's death was truly the fault of Putin and the Kremlin's military adventurism to prop up a genocidal maniac, Assad. The hypocrisy is that the shirtless, narcissistic dwarf with a Napoleon complex would blame the US.

As a participant in the Mobile Computing Program, you will be distributed a SHU issued laptop. During the distribution, you will be asked to sign a Laptop License Agreement which verifies receipt of the laptop and peripherals and outlines the terms and conditions of use. You will sign one agreement when you receive the laptop that you will use during your Freshman and Sophomore year and one when you refresh and receive the laptop that you will use for your Junior and Senior year. The terms and conditions vary somewhat based on your academic status at SHU and the agreement that you sign. Click on the following links to view the terms and conditions for each agreement.
The terms and conditions also vary somewhat for specialty and graduate programs. For a copy of those terms and conditions, please contact the Asset Management Office at (973) 313-6181.
All students who participate in the Mobile Computing Program are required check-in their laptops once each semester. The process is mandatory.
Details regarding check-in will be e-mailed directly to each student's Seton Hall University e-mail account, so please make sure to read your Seton Hall e-mail on a regular basis.
The Check-in process is completed via an on-line form. To check-in your laptop, click on the link sent in the check-in e-mail. You will be required to log in using your e-mail shortname and password. Once in the form, you will be required to enter your laptop model number and serial number. The form will also ask you to report any known laptop problems. Once you have completed the form, click on submit to process the check-in. For a successful check-in, you will receive a confirmation of the check-in. If the check-in was not successful, you will receive a response page advising you to contact the Asset Management Office to assistance.
The purpose of check-in is to ensure that students still have possession of the laptop assigned to them and that our records of serial numbers remain accurate. If your assigned laptop is in repair, you must check-in your loaner laptop.
Failure to comply with this request will result in a $1000 fine and a hold on your bursar account, which means that you will not be able to pre-register for the following semester. Once you have successfully checked in your laptop, the fine will be reduced to a $50 late fee. The hold on your account will not be lifted until you have paid the balance on your account. All payments must be made to Enrollment Services.
For questions regarding check-in, please contact Asset Management at (973) 313-6181 or e-mail email@example.com
In order to keep the technology current and to provide SHU students with the latest and greatest technology on the market, Seton Hall has opted to use a Mobile Computing model that incorporates a laptop refresh at the start of a student's junior year. Refresh takes place at the beginning of the Fall semester. Information regarding the refresh is e-mailed directly to the SHU e-mail accounts of eligible students.
To be eligible for refresh, you must meet the following requirements:
At the time of refresh, you will turn in the two year old model laptop and will be issued a new laptop to use for your Junior and Senior years at Seton Hall. If you graduate in 4 years, the second laptop is yours to keep at no additional charge. In order to refresh your laptop, you will need to schedule an appointment to attend one of the refresh sessions. This is an on-line process. Details regarding how to schedule an appointment will be sent to you in your SHU e-mail account. The e-mail will also contain directions on how to back up your academic data prior to handing in the laptop. During your refresh session, you will hand in your 2-year old laptop along with any accessories that you received with the laptop. You will then receive the new laptop and accessories and will attend a short training session which will assist you with customizing your laptop and provide an overview any new features of the laptop.
The laptop refresh is a mandatory part of the program. Failure to do so may result in late fees or a non-refundable laptop buy-out fee.
If you have any questions regarding laptop refresh, please call Asset Management at 973-313-6181 or e-mail us at email@example.com.
Students who have completed all of the necessary coursework to graduate, have successfully completed a degree audit, and are in good standing with Enrollment Services are eligible to own their laptop upon graduation from SHU. Graduating seniors must complete a Transfer of Ownership Form to transfer ownership of the laptop from SHU to you. To facilitate this process, the Asset Management Office staffs a table at the Academic Attire Distribution so that graduating seniors can complete the form when they pick up their cap and gown for graduation.If you are a graduating senior, you will need to complete a Transfer of Ownership Form in order to own your laptop upon graduation. If you were a fifth year senior and opted to refresh to the new model laptop, the appropriate laptop buy-out fee will be posted to your bursar account upon completion of the Transfer of Ownership Form.To complete the form, you must bring your SHU student ID card and the SHU issued laptop to the Academic Attire Distribution. You will complete the Transfer of Ownership Form at the table staffed by Asset Management. An authorized representative from the Department of Information Technology will review and sign your form. The representative will provide you with a copy of the approved form. The laptop will then be yours to keep. You will be responsible for all further maintenance and support of the laptop. SHU will not provide any further support for the laptop.If you have questions regarding your graduation status, please contact Enrollment Services. If you have questions regarding the Transfer of Ownership process, please contact the Asset Management Office at 973-313-6181.
Students who do not have the necessary credits to graduate in 4 years and will be continuing their studies for two or more additional semesters at SHU are considered fifth year seniors. As participation in the Mobile Computing Program is required for all full-time undergraduate students and ownership of the laptop is contingent upon graduation, fifth year seniors are required to continue to participate in the Mobile Computing Program while completing their studies at SHU
As a fifth year senior, you will have a choice regarding your continued participation in the Mobile Computing Program. You can opt to keep your senior laptop, pay a reduced Mobile Computing Access Fee for the remaining semesters at SHU and own your senior laptop upon graduation; or you can upgrade your computer to the latest model, pay the standard Mobile Computing Access Fee and pay the appropriate buyout fee if you wish to keep the laptop upon graduation.
Communication regarding fifth year senior options with specifics pertaining to the laptop models and fees as well as when and where to execute your option will be sent to eligible fifth year seniors via your SHU e-mail account.
All laptop repairs are done on-site by PC Support Services. Certain charges may apply depending on the nature of the repair. The following guidelines pertain to repairs for laptops issued through the Mobile Computing Program and indicate when charges will apply.
For additional questions regarding the repair of your laptop, please contact the Technology Help Desk at (973) 275-2222 or visit the Laptop Consultation Area located on the first floor of Corrigan Hall.
Students are responsible for the loss or theft of the university issued equipment.

I just dropped Noah off at his first day of summer camp, which is in his old preschool classroom, with his old preschool teacher, along with three or four of his old preschool classmates. None of which helped the case I was trying to build all last week about preschool being over and it not being my fault that I couldn't take him to preschool, I'm not saying this to be mean, Noah, there really just isn't any school but hey, thanks for letting me know that you truly would rather do anything else in the world than hang out with Mommy for a few measly days. Last summer, Noah immediately became somewhat infamous at this camp for wedging his entire body into a cubby and refusing to come out for much of the first day. Today, he and I got into a spirited discussion in the car about how five was his favorite number, and how five had been MY favorite number as a little girl too, and whether it was okay that we both had the same favorite number, because he didn't think so. I was like, whatever, I claimed five as my favorite number back in 1981,... Read more →
(I promise I'll go easy on the scanning stuff from now on, as I'm sure the amusement level is running down with each subsequent post, like yes, yes, we get it, Amy, you were a kid once! Like everybody else! And you said/wrote/wore the darnedest things, etc., ad nauseam, blah blah scancakes.) (Naked Old Man Monkey Baby says BITCH PLZ SHE'S GOT NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT.) I'm about Ezra's age here, give or take a few months, going apeshit over...something. I do wish my mom had saved those pants, because they are outstandingly awful. I would make my children wear them ALL THE TIME. There you have it: Definitive proof that the mailman is NOT Ezra's mother. And here is definitive proof that I was an obnoxious little overachiever, even in preschool: STRAIGHT O's, BITCHES. And two O-plusses, for "Sense of Humor" and "Attention Span." The teacher notes, though, after "Works and Plays With Will Others" that I "sometimes becomes emotional during free playtime. She is sometimes very sensitive about what others say or do." (Translation: She's a tattle-tale who cries a lot.) A couple years later my concerns about other people's behavior extended to the afterlife, as I... Read more →
Today's childhood relic, scanned and color-corrected and offered up for your mockery, is the very first thing I ever wrote in my life. I believe I have mentioned its existence before, though it turns out I had the title and some very important plot points wrong, and now here it is: Half short story, half children's book, half early experiment in Seinfeldian-like narrative structure of NOTHING HAPPENING, and yes, I know I've included too many halves there but I'm leaving it like that. After the jump, I present the newly remastered and out-of-my-mom's-hope-chest edition of The Little Bunny Rabbit, by Amy, age 5. *Clears throat* Ahem. Page one. "Once upon a time in a little blue" (In a little blue WHAT? Oh my God, this thing just hooks you in from the very first page.) (The accompanying illustration. Which MIGHT contain a hint, but I don't know. I was a tricky little thing back then.) "house there lived a little pink rabbit with a little gray tail" (Oh, It was the house. Never mind then.) "One time the little pink rabbit invited her friend the little orange turkey." (I so did not draw that turkey. My neighbor's older sister did,... Read more →
Among the many things my mom held onto: School photos. Lots and lots of school photos that FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT FIGURE OUT never made it into frames on the wall or hell, even tacked to the fridge with a magnet, because here they are years later still in their envelopes. Most of them didn't even get the wallet-sized ones separated from the 5x7s. (Sort of like Noah's school portrait this year, which I only ordered because I thought they were funny, because I completely forgot about picture day and sent him to school in desperate need of a haircut [and probably a bath], in a soccer jersey because it was the only clean shirt I could find. Now I have two dozen of these studies in ragamuffinism and zero idea what to actually do with them:) (CATCH WORLD CUP FEVER!) (OR ELSSSSSSE!) Anyway, now on to the really embarrassing shit. This is the only photo I can for-sure identify what grade I was in -- sixth -- simply because of the accompanying class photo with me wearing the same outfit. It was a dress. A floofy full-skirted one, with matching tights. I remember picking it out at TJMaxx... Read more →
We visited my parents this weekend. I haven't really written about them in awhile, I know -- it's easier to report on a crisis than to write entry after entry about a parent's slow decline. But I'll skip ahead to the conclusion of a lot of stuff from this year: My parents are getting ready to sell their house and move into some kind of senior/convalescent/assisted care home. And now I'll gloss over THAT and skip ahead to the bright side of things, which is that my mother's attempts to purge their house of as much clutter and stuff as possible mean that I came home with a HUGE BAG of hideously embarrassing artifacts from my childhood and adolescence to share with you guys. There was also an ex-boyfriend sighting and if you're the type who likes to keep a mental score when it comes to these things, let me assure you that I TOTALLY WIN, OH MY GOD. Bright side! We shall look at the bright side! But before I start firing up the scanner so y'all can make fun of my hair and I dunno, I think there's some poetry or some stories about unicorns in there too,...

Indulge me, you guys. For lo, my memory card reader has been lost for many, many days, trapping so many lovely photos from last week on my camera, because I am dumb and forgot that you can just stick a USB cable directly in the camera, like oh. Right. Technology! What a country! Anyway, I'm on a very tight deadlines everywhere today because I promised to take Noah to see Toy Story 3 after lunch. He is LIVING for after lunch right now. It is the center of his entire UNIVERSE right now. He cried this morning when he realized that he could not simply eat a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich for breakfast and thus trick the space-time continuum into suddenly being "after lunch." (He JUST became aware of the movie's existence earlier this week. He saw a commercial for it and seemed to think, at first, that it was one of the previous installments, but then that big number three appeared under the logo and he was all, "THREE? THREEEEEE?" He's been bouncing off the walls ever since. I foresee a lot of super-geeky camping out in lines in this fanboy's future.) Anyway! Here are some pictures from Noah's end-of-school parties....

One of the things we were told to "work on" this summer was...shaving cream. No! Really. We have a note from a therapist and everything. OBVIOUSLY, a lot of Noah's sensory/tactile issues have improved dramatically over the past year. He'll walk barefoot in the yard, play in the sandbox, get dirty at the playground -- sometimes he'll even fingerpaint! Imagine that! But shaving cream still freaked him out. And oh, but early intervention folks LOOOOOVE the shaving cream. They paint with it, "cook" with it, encourage the kids to get really messy with it. They've been trying to get Noah to play with shaving cream for a good two-and-a-half years now. It's like an SPD rite of passage: BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR GILLETTIAN GODS. But he wouldn't go near it, ever. He refused. Sometimes there were tears. Sometimes he'd hide under a table. By the end of this school year he would simply scream "NO THANK YOU" as soon as the can of foaming gel made an appearance. His teachers eventually stopped trying -- Noah was improving in so many areas that they decided he maybe deserved a pass on this one little quirk. So that was on our list... Read more →
22 Hours in Philly
June 16, 2010
So. Yeah. That was fun. Those of you on the Twitthing already know, and probably feel like you know too much. But for everybody else: I got sick. Like, really terribly embarrassingly, what-do-you-MEAN-I-have-to-ride-in-an-elevator-to-get-to-a-bathroom sick. (Over the weekend, Ezra had one of those mysterious out-of-nowhere barfing incidents, where he just puked up an entire meal and then went on with his life just fine. Flash to 72 hours or so later, and INCUBATION COMPLETE! FULL ADULT-SIZED VIRUS MORPH ACHIEVED! NOW IS THE TIME TO DIE!) So. Yeah. I woke up yesterday feeling...not great, but not terrible. A little off. I blamed a shitty night of sleep, since I woke up multiple times convinced that I'd overslept and missed my 8:30 am presentation, only to look at the clock and see that, no, it's 3:15 am, jackass, simmer down. I tried to eat a bagel and just...couldn't. I blamed this on the fact that it just wasn't a very good bagel, ignoring even more signs that my body was getting ready to revolt.

Woodsmans Daughter
Woodsmans Daughter
The Woodsman's Daughter was named one of the Ten Best Books of 2005 by the Louisville Courier-Journal. It was also a Finalist for the Kentucky Literary Award for Fiction.
Hailed as "vivid and unforgettable" by the New York Times Book Review, Gwyn Hyman Rubio's Icy Sparks dazzled readers-including Oprah-and became an acclaimed bestseller. Now Rubio offers another sweeping example of Southern storytelling at its finest with The Woodsman's Daughter. Set in post-Civil War southern Georgia, this is the saga of Dalia Miller, a headstrong beauty who is determined to rise above the sins of her father, a shrewd turpentine farmer haunted by a devastating secret. Brilliantly evoking the majestic estates and humble shantytowns of a South in transition and filled with vibrant characters, this epic page-turner with a spirited heroine at its heart confirms Rubio as "one of the South's new treasures" (Lexington Herald-Leader).

St. Elizabeth's Hospital lawsuit settled after more than 40 years
WASHINGTON (AP/ABC7) - After 37 years of litigation, a judge has given final approval to a settlement in a long-running lawsuit over the way the District of Columbia provides health care to mentally ill residents.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Hogan gave approval at a hearing Thursday morning in U.S. District Court. The settlement ends court oversight of the District's public mental health system.
"This settlement affirms the significant progress we have made in building a high-quality, community-based mental health system," D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in 1974 and is known as the "Dixon case" after one of the plaintiffs, William Dixon. It led to changes in the way the city cares for mentally ill residents.
"We have regained control over critical mental-health services and can hold the District government accountable for effective service delivery," Gray said.
As part of the settlement, D.C. is committing to add 300 affordable housing units for city residents suffering from mental illness. The city will also expand job readiness and preparation, along with increasing treatment services with good track records.
Thirty years ago, most patients were hospitalized at Saint Elizabeths, the city-run mental health hospital. The lawsuit was filed by patients at the hospital who said that at the time, mental health treatment in the community was not available to those who did not require committal. Now, more than 20,000 D.C. residents remain in the community while receiving treatment at 37 providers.
Fewer than 300 patients now require residential treatment at the the hospital.

"The Gauntlet" has started.
For the next ten days we will be cycling non-stop, accumulating almost 900 miles into Lubbock, Texas. Today was arguably one of the hardest rides on South route, but almost the entire team made it to Globe, Arizona. The day tested our determination to finish the 85 miles. Tomorrow will test our will even more, as we are cycling the Salt River Canyon; the climb is estimated at 95 miles with 12,000 feet of climbing. We'll have a very early bedtime tonight before waking up extra early to cycle.
Since we'll be staying in smaller towns in Arizona and New Mexico this stretch, we won't have as many friendship visits along the way. If we can survive The Gauntlet, we will certainly make it the rest of the way Washington, DC.
"Don't count the miles, make the miles count."

I really enjoy my role as a student leader on campus — there are so many leadership opportunities on campus. I truly feel that the input of students is valued and taken seriously by the administrators and because of that you can really effect change on campus. It's pretty amazing to be able to meet with the Executive Vice Chancellor and other administrators to discuss student life on campus, and KUMC provides that opportunity. I feel that my involvement with the Office of Student Engagement and student organizations has really enriched my student experience and expanded my knowledge. This has also given me the opportunity to work with students from all the schools and foster interprofessional relationships that mirror what's expected in the workplace once we all graduate.
My research is focused on the pathogenesis of Hepatitis C virus and I enjoy my labwork very much — my mentor encourages me to think critically about my ideas and experiments and gives me an incredible amount of support. Also all the basic science departments at KUMC are continually bringing prominent scientists to give lectures and meet with students — there are multiple talks every week that everyone is invited to attend. There is really great research going on and KUMC is always trying to innovate to be a leader.
My advice would be to put your academics first and focus on putting together a study or work plan that allows you to handle your workload efficiently. It's just as important in professional school to have great time management skills to be able to study, spend time with friends and family, and take part in campus activities. Once you feel comfortable, I would strongly encourage students to find something they are passionate about and join a student organization that helps them pursue that interest. Student organizations have immense support on campus and can do pretty amazing things — you are only constrained by your own imagination. Lastly I encourage networking with faculty members, not only in your program, but even outside your program/department especially if your interests are interdisciplinary. I've found faculty members are eager to meet with students and are very willing to help them in their academic pursuits.
I think the most important thing is to have good time management skills to balance your academic and personal life. I also think mental and physical wellness is very important to being a good student so I would also suggest students pinpoint the various resources on campus that can help with the whole person whether that be counseling services, Kirmayer Fitness Center, or simply finding a mentor to help in the pursuit of your goals.
Being from New York City, I was skeptical when I moved to Kansas City that I would quickly run out of things to do but I was pleasantly surprised. Kansas City is full of hidden gems — there are interesting neighborhoods to wander around in, beautiful parks inside and outside the city, great restaurants, and a vibrant arts community. I enjoy finding new places and cuisine to try out every weekend. I'm also really excited by the opening of the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and can't wait to see a performance there!

ROCKWALL — The illegal-voting case against members of the Medrano political dynasty grew Thursday, with a second family member unexpectedly taking the stand as a state's witness.
Robert Edward Medrano said he, too, was pushed to vote for former Justice of the Peace Carlos Medrano despite never having lived in the precinct where he voted.
The former Dallas County detention officer said his mother, Sylvia Medrano, and cousin Carlos kept him in the dark about the seriousness of the case against him.
Only in the last two weeks did he realize the gravity of the case and decide to testify, he said.
"Him [Carlos Medrano] and my mother would tell me it was getting dismissed; it was getting thrown out; it was just a witch hunt and it would go away. He said as long as we all stick together, it would all be OK. As long as the whole family sticks together, nothing is going to happen with us," Robert Medrano testified.
Sylvia Medrano, a Dallas County employee, faces a charge of illegal voting. Carlos Medrano is charged with illegally soliciting the votes of two nieces, Veronica Medrano and Raquel Medrano.
Robert Medrano, 22, said the family has been vindictive toward Veronica Medrano, who began cooperating with prosecutors more than a year ago and testified this week.
"What is it your mom and Carlos called Veronica Medrano?" asked assistant attorney general David Glickler.
"Fredo," Robert Medrano said.
In the film The Godfather II, the character Frederico "Fredo" Corleone is murdered for his perceived lack of family loyalty.
Robert Medrano had been charged with three counts of illegal voting. Those charges were dismissed Thursday after his testimony.
He acknowledged on the stand that he never lived in the precinct where he cast his votes.
He said Carlos Medrano pushed him to cast a vote in early 2010 when Carlos was running in the Democratic primary to unseat incumbent Luis Sepulveda.
"He called my cellphone, Carlos. He called a numerous amount of times to make sure I went and voted," Robert Medrano testified.
He also testified that his cousins, Raquel and Veronica, never lived in Dallas, where they voted for Carlos Medrano.
To his knowledge, they always lived in Mesquite, he said.
He also said his mother asked him if he wanted to be paid to collect absentee ballots for Carlos Medrano. He said he declined.
On cross-examination, defense attorney Buck Wood seemed astonished at Robert Medrano's turn in the case.
"Have you agreed to testify against your mother in this case?" Wood asked.
"Yes, sir," he responded.
"Your mother is charged with a felony. You're in the Sheriff's Department. Do you know what that is?" Wood said.
Robert Medrano was fired from the Sheriff's Department after he was charged with a felony in the case and underwent a subsequent internal investigation.
Wood later argued that the attorney general's office had no authority to bring the case in Rockwall County because doing so usurped the authority of the Dallas County district attorney. That could become an issue if the case is appealed.
Carlos Medrano and his brother, Frank Medrano III, are the first of seven Medrano family members to go on trial in Rockwall County on charges of illegal voting and perjury based on Carlos' March 2010 election in Dallas.
Carlos Medrano is charged with illegally soliciting the votes of Raquel and Veronica Medrano.
Frank Medrano III is charged with perjury before a grand jury investigating the case.
Testimony is set to resume at 9 a.m. Friday.

B.C. Emergency Health Services scraps $2.8 million electronic patient care record system
WATCH ABOVE: Another expensive computer system is being dumped by the government before it's even in use. Randene Neill has the story.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is raising the alarm after, it says, B.C. Emergency Health Services has scrapped a multi-million dollar electronic record system.
CTF claims it received information from whistleblowers suggesting that B.C. Emergency Health Services, which is responsible for the B.C. Ambulance Service, has dumped its $2.8 million Electronic Patient Care Record (ePCR) system before it went into use.
CTF says paramedics currently write out patient details on paper.
When done in poor weather, the papers can become wet and messy, potentially putting patients at risk with unclear information, necessitating an electronic solution.
CTF claims Panasonic got the contract to provide more than 400 Toughbook H2 devices, while Interdev Technologies Inc. was contracted for its iMEDIC EMS software.
It was allegedly promised the ePCR system would improve patient care, privacy, accuracy and operational efficiency.
The system was supposed to be operational by June 2013.
But, executive director corporate information with B.C. Emergency Health Services Karen Whitson told Global News that after a rigorous contract procurement process, they determined that the company was not able to deliver on the contract.
"We have now terminated the contract and are trying to recover the cost from the vendor," said Whitson.
Whitson says their next step will possibly be legal action.
She would not comment on how much the system cost or name the vendors.
Interdev Technologies Inc issued the following statement to Global News:
Interdev has an unblemished record of successful ePCR deployments for 40 regional governments. Interdev's technology generates over 1 million ePCR's annually and supports over 6000 paramedics in ePCR documentation.
Interdev provides the highest level of service to all its clients.
Interdev stands by its technology and its work.
We are hopeful that any issues can be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

F1 Fanatic - Off-topic

OMG!!!! Arsene Wenger just trumped the hell out of Harry Redknapp. It was AWESOME!
I'm so proud to be a gooner today. Everything is shiny!
I'm with you on this one, not a gunner but I'm a Real Madrid fan, so… every Barcelona loss is good for me.
Great game tough, I can't wait to see the next one at Barcelona
I reckon Barcelona played a bit better, but I'm glad Arsenal won. They're my second favourite team, behind, believe it or not, Tottenham.
Thanks a lot for the spoiler alert guys. That's just absolutely ruined the replay for me.
You muppet.
I hope Barcelona reverses the result in the second leg.
It's not hard, Barcelona just have to repeat the result that my team did against Arsenal this year in champions league… 2-0…
Arsenal played very very well, but remember they were at home, and conceded the away goal – could be crucial! If Arsenal keep a clean sheet in the Nou Camp they deserve to go through! But I can't see it……
Spurs on the other hand went to the San Siro, scored the away goal and kept a clean sheet – they're in charge!! But they don't do clean sheets very often so 2nd leg will be tough.
Arsenal were the worst team, it was Koscielny that kept them in it. It will be a walk over for Barca in the 2nd leg.
I hope so :P
Thread title is misleading, Barcelona haven't played Nottingham Forest in years…
Was thinking the same Matt! Better result for Spurs but the Arsenal game just had the extra drama because they conceded at home.
Super match, super result. Just hope we can do the same to Sparta Prague tonight!
@riise ahhh go away, we know Barca are incredible. We realise we where basically outplayed for about an hour. Thing is we where never swept away, an our defense was incredibly solid considering it was Barca we were playing.
When we got the ball, we looked very slick on the counter, we made chances throughout the game, an converted more of ours then they did there's. (what counts) Some stats for you:
Goal attempts—10–55%
On target
Stats can be pretty misleading, but Arsenal doesn't look very swept away there, an considering the way we had to play the game, in some ways, especially the amount of times we caught them offside, it shows that we well with them overall. Obviously, no one in history will ever be able to match what they do with the ball.
Barca is a painfull team for us, when we reached the Champions League final of 06, we where the better team, with a man sent off, for most of that game. They've caused us a fair amount of hurt recently an their transfer attitude towards are players has always been, an will probably always be, absolutley disgracefull.
We realise it's only half time, we know we face superior opposition, away from home, with a 1 goal lead and an away goal conceeded. BUT WE BEAT BARCELONA! Let us enjoy that (an we will) thank you.
@macca if your serious, woops sorry, got to improve your media blackout.
I don't get the F1 connection :S
Who's Arsene Wegner. I don't remember anyone in F1 with that name.
Wenger is the real reason behind Red Bull's success, not Newey.

A man who peddled hard drugs to raise cash to fund his own habit has been ordered to hand over more than £2,200 of his ill-gotten gains.
Mark Nurdin, of Shearman Street, Trowbridge, who was jailed for three years in the autumn, profited from crime to the tune of £3,077.
Now Judge Euan Ambrose has ruled he must hand over just £2,212, or face a further 45 days on his sentence.
Should he come into money in the future, the authorities will still be able to pursue the 31-year-old for the rest of the sum.
Nurdin, who is now serving his sentence in Dartmoor Prison, was not in court.
He bought more heroin and crack cocaine than he needed and sold the excess to other users to support his habit.
Police found small quantities of drugs in three raids on his home in 2011, and his mobile phone was full of evidence of his dealing.
Nurdin pleaded guilty to two counts of possession with intent to supply.
