As more doctors deploy electronic medical record (EMR) systems in their practices, some physicians have reported difficulty balancing bedside manner with inputting information into their EMRs. With a recent report stating that nearly 70% of U.S. primary care physicians now use electronic medical records, this discussion will be a hot topic moving forward. A key question is: What's the best strategy for balancing EMR use and physician/patient interactions?
Denise Amrich wrote on ZDNet Health in July about the Kaiser Permanente method for EHR etiquette. Called LEVEL, the method advocates:
-Letting the patient look on;
-Eye contact;
-Valuing the computer;
-Explaining what you're doing; and
-Logging off.
Undoubtedly, some physicians have developed their own best practices for EHR etiquette. Software Advice is currently hosting a survey to analyze how EMR systems have impacted physician/patient interactions, and what physicians have done to effectively use the technology in their practices. The survey is only a few questions, and should take only a couple of minutes to complete.
The Software Advice blog is hosting the Patient Interactions with EMR/EHR Use survey. Data will be collected over the next few months, and a final report and analysis will be shared on the Software Advice blog after the survey has closed.

2 adults, 4 students hurt after school bus hits car
Police say car turned in front of bus carrying students to Mandarin High School
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Six people, including four students, were hospitalized Thursday morning after a school bus ran into a car on Powers Avenue.
Jacksonville Fire-Rescue told Channel 4 two adults and four students were transported to area hospitals, but none of the injuries were life-threatening. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the driver of the car was among the most seriously injured.
JFRD says several other students were treated for cuts and bruises at the scene of the crash.
The crash happened just before 7 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Powers Avenue and Old Kings Road, not far from Wolfson High School.
Police say the car turned in front of the bus and the bus hit it. The driver had to be cut from the car.
"For some unknown reason, the driver of the vehicle headed north, made a left-hand turn in front of the school bus, and the front of the school bus struck the front of the vehicle, causing major damage," JSO Sgt. Rick Hike said.
Channel 4's Melanie Lawson reported the Students of America bus was carrying students to Mandarin High School. A backup bus arrived to take the non-injured students to school.
Both southbound lanes of Powers Avenue were closed after the crash. One lane reopened within the hour and the scene was cleared before 9 a.m.

Most pearls are formed when nacre is deposited around a small irritant. Keshi pearls, however, lack the central nucleus and tend to be flat rather than rounded. Being pure nacre, they tend to be highly lustrous. (You can see my other pearl necklaces here, here, here, here, and here.)
These pearls are about 5 to 6mm in diameter. I strung them with small gold-filled saucers, and finished with a gold-filled lobster clasp. The necklace is 17 inches long, and weighs 0.5 oz.
I made hoop earrings to match. The hoops are gold-filled, about an inch in diameter. The earrings weigh 0.1 oz.

Product Reviews
Gulp! Alive! Floating Salmon Eggs is rated out of 5 by 11.
Rated 3 out of 5 by APPTF16 from Superior to other floating egg imitations I prefer Berkley's GULP! product due to its seemingly irresistible flavor to both stocked and native trout. I highly recommend it to any new trout baiters as you are nearly guaranteed bites. However, this last order disappointed me quite a bit. It seems that sometimes the eggs I receive, both singles, and the row clusters, and even the Alive! product, there seems to be some issues with the formula, and recently nearly every bait from this series has been extremely soft, as in won't hold to a hook soft, or under very slight pressure will crush into a mushy mess. If the process could be a little more guaranteed in consistency, I'd be much happier versus spending money on bags and jars that are worthless only to have to reorder hoping to get better product the next time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by StephenSD from Best Gulp Alive bait for Trout! I usually use Powerbait eggs but decided to try this out. This bait catches trout, but honestly this is a bit more fragile than I care for, so I prefer the power bait eggs. Tip this with a contrasting color Trout nibble on a #8 or $10 hook (the trout nibble protects the fragile egg) and you have a deadly combo! I wish this wasn't quite as fragile! Berkley can you help?

Rated 1 out of 5 by watermelongrin from Jar leaks like a seive I like the bait and I have caught a 4.5 rainbow on 4# test with the orange bait. The only trouble I have is the jar. I have tried everything to keep the cap from leaking except putting silicon sealer in the cap and lightly closing the cap until it touches the rim of the jar. They could use a cap like the ones baby food jars have.

MI Patron Info Fishing Expedition
AshtabulaGuy writes "The following story was referenced on MICHLIB-L on the morning of July 6th.
Caleb Marker, a law student clerking with Flory & Associates (a law firm in Okemos, Michigan), has been requesting information about patrons from libraries under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Marker's expressed reason in response to the uproar created was that he wanted to create a profile of library users. Library directors in Michigan have been fighting the request and have been seeking counsel as to how FOIA may conflict with Michigan's patron privacy laws.
Read the story at The Detroit News "
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Being anonymous it is impossible to find any authority in what you write. You claim that the request went out on the law firm's letterhead, yet we have only your word and frankly that is not worth much when you post anonymously.
I did not attack the reporter; I simply criticized her poor writing. I did write Ms. Lee and ask for clarification. I have had no response as of this writing. I have left a message at the law firm and I await a return call. I see no need to post a retraction, I have nothing to retract. Ms. Lee wrote the article so poorly it left readers wondering about the originator of the request. If anyone should post anything it would be the reporter who failed to clarify the issue in her article.
Even if it proves true that the student did make the request under the color of authority of the law firm the article was still unclear. Journalists have a duty to be objective and completely report the story as best they are able. This simply was not done in this case.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Damn, I can usually start an argument in an empty room.
Well, we will find out of the reporter replies to my email. Then we will know for certain if the firm or the kid was behind this nonsense.
Balance. State local FOI freedom of information
What our cities' public libraries need to do is give greater consideration to the balance involving state local FOI freedom of information. Regrettably, guidelines of the american library association approach state local FOI as an imposition on our cities' public libraries where it needs to look at state local FOI as a freedom that our cities' public libraries should advocate for the legitimately public documentation, grey literature if you will in balance with the related concerns for documentation not public.

Re:Houston, we have a problem...
It's not a request for information that would otherwise be granted as a matter of course. It's a request for identifying personal information on large numbers of people based on nothing more than the fact that they use the public library.
We're also supposed to protect reader privacy. This is not in contradiction to protecting freedom to access information; it's _part_ of protecting freedom to access information.
Federal FOIA creates an exception to protect personal privacy or company trade secrets; it's a perfectly common and standard experience to get a document in which some names or identifying personal information have been blacked out. This joker is apparently looking ONLY for the kind of protected personal information that he couldn't get under Federal FOIA without providing a very good reason why he should get it. Resisting this fishing expedition or asking for a reason for his request (a better reason than "creating a profile of library users" with no reason or purpose for the profile offered) is utterly consistent with basic principles of library service, not "messy" at all.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
The request went out on the firm's letterhead. While it is still not clear what the firm's involvement in this request included, the reporter had that information at hand when she wrote the article.
You, on the other hand, attacked the reporter without having all of the facts, something you claimed that she was guilty of doing. Care to post a retraction?
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Who are you asking to post a retraction? If you're asking me, what do you want me to retract?
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Re:More on Flory & Associates
I see your point. I probably should have thought about the situation more carefully before I jumped to conclusions.
Simply amazing!
I was clearing out my filtered email and I found a response from Ms. Lee. She relates that the requests were indeed on the letterhead of the firm and were signed by Caleb Marker.
I will call the attorney's office again tomorrow to see if they wish to comment. I really would like to know why anyone would want to compile such a list.
I certainly hope Mr. Marker did this on his own without the knowledge of the members of the firm. If not I certainly hope that someone files a complaint with the Michigan Bar.
In the interest of fairness I must note that Ms. Lee replied to my email early in the morning, but I had to manually retrieve it from my spam trap. I had added the detnews.com domain but their mail is filtered through another server and was stopped by my filter. Ms. Lee's response was timely.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Whatever. I couldn't care less whether you believe it or not. The fact is that a letter went out to over 80 libraries on the law firm's letterhead. You can choose to ignore the facts if you want.
As far as the article, the reporter accurately reported the information that was available at the time it was written. Those facts include:
The letter went out on letterhead from the law firm under Mr. Marker's name. When Mr. Marker was contacted by libraries which received the request, he indicated that the request was on behalf of a client for the firm. That information was posted to a public list for Michigan libraries.
The reporter clearly stated that Mr. Marker made the request representing himself as an employee of the law firm. You state "Ms. Lee wrote the article so poorly it left readers wondering about the originator of the request." Apparently, you are the only one who is wondering because it's quite clear who made the request. If someone from your workplace sends out a letter on company letterhead, the assumption is that the action is done at the behest of your place of employment. I think the reporter gave the law firm a break by clearly stating that the request was being made by a specific employee. Many reporters would have simply reported that the request was made by the law firm.
As for this statement:
"Journalists have a duty to be objective and completely report the story as best they are able. This simply was not done in this case."
I challenge you to show how this story was not reported objectively and completely with the facts that were available at the time. You are quick to judge even when you don't know what you are talking about.
I may regret continuing this discussion
I am not ignoring the facts, the reporter failed to make them clear in her original article. You state that the facts included in the article:
1) The letter went out on letterhead from the law firm under Mr. Marker's name.
2) When Mr. Marker was contacted by libraries which received the request, he indicated that the request was on behalf of a client for the firm.
neither of which are contained in the article. You state "[T]he reporter accurately reported the information that was available at the time it was written..� Which is inaccurate. I have read and re-read the article and that information is nowhere to be found. You further assert that: "That information was posted to a public list for Michigan libraries.� I must assume you mean your two points above. It may have indeed been posted on a list but the reporter did not include it in her article.
You challenge me to show how the story was not reported objectively and completely. In fact I don't have to do that as you present facts that were not included in the article, numbers one and two above, that were not reported in the article. You further assert that these facts were available when the article was written. In fact the article reports something completely different than your second assertion. The article states "Marker says he's trying to gather research to create a profile of library users.� If indeed your assertions are true, and I have no doubt at this time that they are, then ipso facto the article which differs from them was not reported objectively and completely.
Res Ipsa Loquitor
I'm not certain why you are arguing about this. I am offended that a law student acting on his own or on behalf of an attorney would make such an outrageous request. I simply noted that the article lacked clarity. An opinion I still hold. There was a great deal of information that I consider superfluous that could have been omitted in deference to the facts of the matter. Perhaps it was edited for space, but that still remains under the control of the newspaper not the reader. I must rely on the newspaper to tell the complete story and not assume I am intimately familiar with librarian listservs or endowed with psychic powers.
However I am glad you signed up for an account and are not posting anonymously. It is through reasoned debate and dialog that we all learn.
Re:I may regret continuing this discussion
"You state that the facts included in the article:
1) The letter went out on letterhead from the law firm under Mr. Marker's name.
2) When Mr. Marker was contacted by libraries which received the request, he indicated that the request was on behalf of a client for the firm."
No, I didn't say those facts were in the article. I said that those were the facts that were known at the time the article was written. That information was known to the reporter when she wrote the article. The reporter, or the editor, chose not to include those specific points in the article. I can't speak for the reporter on why they were not included but in my mind, they don't detract from the objectivity of the article. Would it have changed the focus of the article to say that the request went out on the firm's letterhead?
As I noted before, I think the reporter gave the firm a break by focusing on Mr. Marker's specific involvement and played down any potential role that the firm may have had. She could have reported on the use of the firm's letterhead and Mr. Marker's comments that he was doing research for a client of the firm. But I think she had sniffed out that something was not quite legit. with Mr. Marker and his little project. By noting Mr. Marker's affiliation with the law firm while not getting into all of the specifics, she provided the law firm with the ability to distance itself in case Mr. Marker wasn't operating with their authority.
"The article states "Marker says he's trying to gather research to create a profile of library users.� If indeed your assertions are true, and I have no doubt at this time that they are, then ipso facto the article which differs from them was not reported objectively and completely."
This is not inconsistent with point 2. Again, while Mr. Marker was telling libraries that he was working on behalf of the firm, the reporter did not emphasize that point and instead focused on Mr. Marker's statements. Mr. Marker told the paper "Marker says he's trying to gather research to create a profile of library users." which is consistent with the information that was being requested in the FOIA request.
Why the disagreement? Because I think you are so focused on defending your initial position that I think you are failing to see how the reporter, while not providing every last detail, provided a more accurate assessment of the situation, than if every little point had been included in the article. I know it's a subtle point but it's the difference between good reporting and simply regurgitating the facts.
I was right, I regret it. :)
Really this arguing back and forth is going nowhere, and doing neither of us any good as we seem to be on the same side of the issue, that the Marker fellow is a putz.
Ms. Lee corresponded with me again today, which was a delightfully nice thing for her to do as she had no obligation to do so. I may think her original article lacked clarity, but she certainly provided it in the followup emails.
Ms. Lee noted that Mr. Marker is no longer employed with the Flory firm. Ms. Lee noted that when she called him he would not comment except to relate that his change in employment was not due to his FOI request or Ms. Lee's article.
I am jumping to my own conclusions on that.
It is obvious that we will not share the same opinion of the article, but I do hold Ms. Lee in high regard as she corresponded with me about her story when she had no obligation to do so. However, I do have a bit of constructive criticim to make about your posting style. Please don't take this the wrong way, but your posts are very hard to read. You may find the following helpful:
Paragraph tags: To start a new paragraph use the greater than and less than signs with a "p" in between (any example I type would fail to appear because it would start a new paragraph).
Line break tags: similarly a line break, or carriage return is denoted by the same greater and less than symbols with the letters "br" betwixt.
There are others for bold and italics and such that I sure you can pick up in seconds if you find some good material about HTML tags.
I enjoy and I am sure others enjoy reading your commentary. Well reasoned discourse is the cornerstone of learning.
Re:I was right, I regret it. :)
Yes, I didn't realize I needed to code my responses. We can leave the debate where it is at. I sure has been beaten down at this point.
Re:I was right, I regret it. :)
If Caleb Marker is no longer employed by the law firm, then something fishy is going on. I left a phone message at the law firm asking Mr. Flory to return my call so I could ask, as a citizen and as a library board member, what was behind the request. A half hour later I received a call from Caleb Marker (or at least someone purporting to be Caleb Marker).
I asked the person why the request for library patron information had been made. He replied, "I can't tell you; it's secret." That's all he would say.
Mr. Marker has run unsuccessfully for East Lansing's city council. I suspect that he believes there's no such thing as bad publicity and he's pulling a stunt to build name recognition for the future. Let's hope it's only that innocent.
Re:21 year old law student?
Don't forget, information found through Google that seems relevant doesn't make it correct. I searched the student directory for MSU and found an evening law student named Caleb Marker. So, as far as his law student status, he sounds legit.
21 year old law student?
Wouldn't you be pre-law if you are an undergrad? I googled the name (to get a profile of him which he seems to approve of) and it looks like he might be the same Caleb Marker who is still an undergrad at MSU. Or is it different at other universities?
My question is why no one in the Michigan legislature looked at how the FOIA and Library Privacy Laws would affect each other. If the Library privacy laws were created as an exception to a FOIA-type law, then the case should be pretty open and shut for libraries.
I do wonder what sort of profile they are creating and why. Why do they need to know who has a library card? It's a bit odd.
Re:21 year old law student?
If he is an undergrad he would not be considered a law student. A law student is someone in a graduate law program.
To prcatice law you have to graduate from an ABA accredited law school. These are all graduate programs.
The guy in the story may be an undergrad that is pre-law and the reporter put him down as a law student. I have little faith in what I read in the newspapers without checking the facts.
Houston, we have a problem...
This is where freedom of information principles test us. As librarians we are not ethically supposed to look behind requests for information to ask why information is sought or what purpose it is sought for (hence all the hue and cry over Library Awareness and USA PATRIOT Act). In this case, what seems like a simple request for information that would otherwise be granted as a matter of course is treated by librarians with a different standard where we want to know what is behind the request and why the request was initiated.
I agree that this is messy. The request in and of itself does sure seem interesting.
It is also unclear what purpose the information is being requested for. I agree that such may be an attempt as mentioned in the article for mass spamming.
Why I have a feeling somebody is trying to "establish a class" is somewhat odd, though...
Amen to the last paragraph.
Re:21 year old law student?
I used to be a newspaper reporter. I would no be surprised if any reporter anywhere confused pre-law and law school. Education for journalists focuses heavily on how to write and I think does not talk about the world around them all that much.
The folks at the Detroit News are rather sharp, though. I have a feeling the student may very well be on a fast track program straight from his bachelor's into his JD. I have seen such things before.
Simply illegal to release the records
Michigan's laws seem to be quite clear on this. The Library Privacy Act michiganlegislature.org> makes it a crime to release the records without the patron's permission or a court order. It specifically notes that Michigan's FOIA does not apply to library records.
This kid will make a fine lawyer. We do so need more lawyers.
Re:21 year old law student?
You don't have to graduate from an ABA accredited law school to practice law in most states, however that is by far the most common way. However certain states allow clerking, self study, or even foreign legal education (NY is an example - it allows a foreign degree holder with a foundation in English common law to sit the exam).
However holders of ABA accredited JDs can sit the exam in every state. Then again what can you do with such a degree other than be a lawyer. How disappointing that must be.
>Marker says he's trying to gather research to create a profile of library users.
Profile? What kind of profile?
The article then goes on to say, "I'm not asking for private information, like what books they check out,� he said. "I'm only asking for information that you could get in a telephone book or on the Internet.�
So what is he trying to get? The home phone number and address of patrons?
A law firm should not let law students talk to the newspaper. An attorney should be representing the firm. You never know what dumb thing a law student is going to say or do.
Re:Simply illegal to release the records
Good lawyers are always needed. We are full up of nitwit lawyers. If this kid had talked to a law librarian he might not have made this mistake.
More on Flory & Associates
I love that this "law student" was unaware before he started his fishing expedition that the law does not require libraries to comply with his "request."
What the Detroit News reporter does not disclose (or did not bother to research) is that Michael Flory (the law student's boss) is the President of Michigan Federation of Young Republicans (see link heremfyr.com>). He has a BS from Siena Heights College and a JD from Wayne State University. Flory & Associates is described at the MFYR site as an "elder law advocacy firm." Why an "elder law advocacy firm" would want library patron records to create profiles is a mystery.
The Detroit News reporter could have easily included this information in her article by looking up Michael Flory on Martindale Hubbell and Google. It took me less than ten minutes.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
>Michael Flory (the law student's boss) is the President of Michigan Federation of Young Republicans
What relevance to the story is this?
>He has a BS from Siena Heights College and a JD from Wayne State University.
Why do we care where his boss went to college?
I looked on Google and found that Michael like cheese doodles and lemon jello. Why was that not mentioned??
Re:More on Flory & Associates
>Why do we care where his boss went to college?
For the same reason that he seems to care about directing his law clerks to harass libraries to collect patron information.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
>The Detroit News reporter could have easily included this information in her article by looking up Michael Flory on Martindale Hubbell and Google.
But under your own admission this has nothing to do with the story.
>For the same reason that he seems to care about directing his law clerks to harass libraries to collect patron information.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
You're probably right. Maybe what I wrote was irrelevant. I've been known to write irrelevant things. My humble apologies for expressing an opinion in which were included some apparently irrelevant details.
Re:More on Flory & Associates
Since he is a law student why did you jump to the conclusion that his fishing expedition was related to his employment rather than his scholastic pursuits? Nowhere in the article does it mention that his actions were undertaken at the behest of the law firm or any of its partners. The reporter also jumped to that conclusion in her article. The teacher interviewed was concerned that the law firm was seeking that information. The story also refers to Marker's request. The article is poorly written and lacks a clear statement of the origin of the request: Marker or the firm.
I can fathom no reason why a law firm would want a profile of library patrons. I find it remarkably hard to believe that any practicing lawyer would direct his staff to make requests prohibited by state law. I can however believe that a misguided student would make requests such as these.
I'll grant you that the reporter failed to research her work sufficiently. However the information you provided is neither germane nor helpful. You however seem to think that since the lawyer is a Republican there is some nefarious purpose. Your comment that we should know more about the law firm's partners "For the same reason that he seems to care about directing his law clerks to harass libraries to collect patron information,� is yet another unfounded leap you have made. There is no evidence presented in the article that Flory directed Marker's action.
Why you felt the need to research the story further and spend 10 minutes on martindale.com by your own admission is beyond me. As librarians the public trusts us to safeguard the information they give us. It is our responsibility to answer patron queries to the best of our ability. It is improper to interrogate or investigate the patron making the request. In this case the appropriate answer is that the records are protected by law and may not be released. While I must assume you don't work at any of the libraries involved you took it upon yourself to investigate who you thought made the request. As a librarian that offends me. Did you also use LexisNexis to find out if he has a mortgage, if he is married, where he lives, what assets he has. I can only wonder why you felt the need to do an investigation into the character, reputation and educational background of someone who would considered a patron had they made the request in person. It seems that you have let your political views cloud your professional judgment. You found it necessary to report to those that read LISNews that the alleged requestor is a Republican. Would you have reported about a UCLA grad who worked for the ACLU? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Has anyone considered that this indeed might be a student's attempt to see if the libraries in his state actually follow the law and restrict access to patron records. Perhaps the student mislead the reporter, there is no burden on anyone to tell the truth to journalists and the journalist in this case did a remarkably poor job of presenting the facts. I wonder how many libraries simply sent the information along. Now that would be an interesting project for any student.
I have written Ms. Lee, that journalist that filed the story to clarify the law firm's role. Should she not be responsive I will email the attorney. I am confident that the law firm will not be involved in requesting the records, but simply be where the requestor, a college student, is employed. Had he worked at McDonalds would you have listed Ray Kroc's political affiliation and the schools he attended.
Shame on you for muckraking, shame on you for failing to remain objective.

WAKEFIELD � Two exhibits are available for public viewing at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville during October. One is comprised of the oil, watercolor and pastel works of area artists Mabel Doyle and Elaine Klement. The other features the photography of the �Brookfield Shooters.� The two shows are distinct in their own right and are exhibited in two separate rooms of the 1920s Craftsman period built library.
Mabel Doyle is a native New Englander who considers the outdoors her pallet using her favorite mediums of oils and pastels. She loves painting outside but the weather can be a challenge and she has broadened her talent to include portraits and abstracts. Doyle has studied under Carl Owen, Robert Gordon and Robert Scott Jackson. She lives in Wakefield with her husband Jack who is featured in one of her works.
Elaine Klement lives in Center Conway with her husband Richard and is currently a student of Robert Scott Jackson. She works in oil, watercolor and acrylic paints from photographs and life. Klement thrives under and welcomes criticism, knowing this will help her master her talent.
The Brookfield Shooters Photography Group was started by Brookfield residents Martha Pike and Susie Warren in 2010 following an animated conversation one Saturday morning at the Thrift Shop of St. John the Baptist in Sanbornville. The group consists of an informal gathering of interested photographers who share work in an �atmosphere of mutual support and encouragement,� says Pike. The group hopes to increase photographic skills, add to their knowledge of camera capacities, trouble-shoot problems and improve printing and display of their pictures. They welcome new folks, so if interested, call Martha at 522-9036. Members of the group exhibiting works at the library this month are Cynthia Towle, Martha Pike, Tom Lavoie and Mikel O�Brien. Some of the work�s interesting titles include �Woodpecker Heaven,� �Crayola Lobster Boat,� �Star Rite,� and �Leaves on Ice.�
Artists from the two exhibits welcome the public to join them in a reception at the library on Saturday Oct. 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Refreshments and the opportunity to chat with the artists are available.
The exhibits may be viewed during the library�s open hours of Tuesday and Thursday, 1-7:30 p.m.; Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m.-noon; and Saturday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. For more information call library director Beryl Donovan at 522.3401.

Henry Grossman '58: Behind the lens with the Beatles
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four's arrival in the U.S.
Henry Grossman '58 photographed them all. From Eleanor Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy, Marc Chagall to E.E. Cummings, David Ben-Gurion to Henry Kissinger.
And that was just as a theater arts student at Brandeis.
By the time Grossman graduated, he had a portfolio good enough to land him an assignment that would be the envy of music fans the world over: Shooting the Beatles' first performance in America.
Grossman went on to take more than 6,000 photographs of the Beatles between 1964 and 1968, including on locations for the film "Help!" In late 2012, Curvebender Publishing released the limited-edition "Places I Remember," a 526-page coffee-table book composed of Grossman's photos. Some of his photos will also appear in New York's Gallery 151's exhibit celebrating the enduring impact of Beatles' appearance on the "Ed Sullivan Show" half a century ago.
Grossman recently spoke with BrandeisNow about his experience working the Beatles and seeing them from behind the lens as well being with them behind the scenes.
You first met The Beatles 50 years ago on Feb. 9, 1964. What do you recall of that day?
I was at the "Ed Sullivan Show" for Time magazine. I photographed them and the screaming kids, and afterwards they posed for some pictures.
A couple of weeks later the English newspapers saw the pictures in Time magazine, and sent me to Atlantic City to work with them. I had spent the afternoon with them there, playing Monopoly and cards, and at one point I said to Ringo, "How are you enjoying the American tour?" He took me to by the arm, led me to the window, and pointed a block away. There was a brick wall, a building in between the brick wall and a parking lot. He looked at me and said, "This is all we're seeing of America." They couldn't go out.
Were you already familiar with their music?
I didn't listen to their music. I didn't care for their music. When I met them and I got to know them, I really liked them.
Did you consider it an exciting assignment at the time?
It was an assignment. I was very happy – always happy to have one.
I was amazed at some of the girls, who had tears on their faces. Incredible. I had never seen that before. And when I went to Atlantic City for the concert, I had a picture of policemen standing next to the stage with his hands covering his ears, not because of the music but because the screaming was so loud. You know, jarring.
I really got to know them better in Austria and the Bahamas. While they didn't have a college education, they were very sophisticated in terms of having more points of reference. I got to know them the next year when they went to Nassau. At one point George asked me what's another word for such and such, and I didn't know what the word was. I said let's look it up in the Roget's Thesaurus and he said, "What's that?" So I went out and bought him one. Sometime later, a year or two later, there was an article where he said "A friend brought me a thesaurus so I can find all the words I need." My education fed their education, and they fed me.
What was it like to spend time with them?
I've been asked, "Was I around when all the girls were throwing themselves at the Beatles? And what about the drugs, did I enjoy some of that?" But I never saw any of that. When I was photographing them, they were at home with their families and wives, or they were working. I never saw, I was not involved in any of that.
At one point I said to Ringo, "I wish I had the guts to wear a tie like that," and he came over and fingered my tie – it was a paisley tie from Liberty of London – and he just looked me in the eye and said, "Well, you could wear a tie like this and you'd still be Henry, with a bright tie." That had never occurred to me. They weren't wearing costumes, those were their clothes.
I remember when I went over to George's house for the first time. He asked me to come and take some pictures of him and Pattie. There was an instrument on the wall. He was showing me around and I looked at it and said, "What is that?" He reached up and took it down, which meant that it wasn't just a decoration. He started trying to tune it and he said, "It's a sitar, but I can't find anybody to teach me." I looked at him, and I said, "George, you make a lot of money." He smiled, and I said, "You could probably afford to find the best sitar teacher in India and bring him over here to work with you." That year he went to India. I didn't say go to India… You know, so the education went both ways: realizing what they could do and what world was open to them.
Did the music ever grow on you?
At that time I was a fan of the people, but now I love all the early music, the early songs. I still listen to pop rock and stuff like that. "Strawberry Fields," "Eleanor Rigby," that kind of stuff - the melodic stuff.
Did you think their fame and fortune would last?
I was in George's house once, and we were talking, and he said, "Who knows how much longer this is going to last?" Well, now we see it's lasted 50 years, and it changed the world of music in a major way.
I was with Bobby Kennedy on an airplane about a month before he was killed. I was assigned by his company to get posters on the tour for the campaign, and I remember sitting three feet away from him and looking at him and thinking, "Oh, my God, this man is going to be president of the United States." I never thought that kind of thing – "My God, these Beatles are going to be even more famous than they are now." They were world famous, they couldn't even go out.
That's one of the reasons I did not bother John when he was in New York, and we lived only within 10 blocks or five blocks of each other. I didn't because I knew how much they hated the press always coming at them, and the fans. I'm sorry now that I didn't.
You photographed them quite a bit between 1964 and 1968. Did you keep in touch after that?
I stayed in touch with George. In 1974, People magazine sent me to photograph him for a cover in San Francisco. He was going to do a world U.S. tour with Ravi Shankar, and by the end of the evening, it was like meeting an old friend again. It was like we were brothers. It was terrific, and he asked me to be the photographer on the tour for six months.
It's often commented that your pictures of the Beatles back in 1964 were especially interesting because they weren't all close-ups of the band, but they captured the whole scene, including all the other journalists.
Ben-Gurion came to Brandeis, spent a week at Brandeis, I got to know him and his staff. He came, then went to New York and I rushed to New York to bring some of his pictures that I had shot at Brandeis to Time and Newsweek, etc. His security people knew me and that I was good. Time magazine took one of my portraits, and I brought the pictures to Life magazine, and Life said, "No, Henry, if you want to work for us, you have to take five less good but more storytelling pictures," and that was the beginning.
How did that influence your future work?
I was a reporter. I wanted to capture the surroundings – what was going on, who was around, where they were, how they did this or whatever. That became rather important – not to stand and pose for a souvenir of the four guys together. I wish now I had more pictures of the guys together. But at that time it didn't occur to me to pose them. There were others getting those kind of pictures, I was getting the more personal shots.
When you look back at those photos, do you think of the time or of the shot?
I think of the time. I'm glad that you point that out, it's a very important thing. I'm not thinking of that photo, I'm remembering the event and the time. That's what it should be. It's a souvenir of the time. I started taking pictures for myself. Souvenirs. To remember. People that I liked or knew. That kind of stuff. That's what my photography has been really for me.

text: I purchased a Maxant Electric plane. It came with instructions and it seems relatively easy to use. However it also came with a small allen wrench that allows for adjustment of the cutting depth. Does anyone have any experience with the correct depth as i do not want to experiment with a hot device. It came set at the deepest depth and can be made shallower. Seems like a decent product but Maxant could provide better instructions. I contacted them but they did not call back yet., I assume they are very busy this time of the year.

QuickRip needs you, you need QuickRip
QuickRip (screenshots) is a DVD backup utility for GNU/Linux, with a Qt interface as well as a command line interface. It makes ripping DVDs onto your hard drive quick and easy, and so is ideal for those who aren't bothered about framerates, clipping, and other (usually) unnecessary options. Version 0.7 has just been released, bringing the basic list of features close to completion, but we'd like to see more feature requests, bug reports (or less!) and code submissions before we hit the 1.0 milestone to make QuickRip the best DVD backup utility for KDE.
QuickRip is the only DVD backup utility to use the Qt toolkit, as well as offering a command line interface, with full KDE and Gtk/GNOME interfaces in the works. It is unique in this approach, as well as its focus on ease of use. Other notable features include:
We'd like to hear users' views on what makes QuickRip good, and what they'd like to see in future releases. We'd also like to get a few more developers on board, to make the code even better, add requested features, and add features of their own. If you'd like to help out, visit the SourceForge project page and post in the forums, submit feature requests, submit bugs, and help us reach 1.0 to give KDE a really decent DVD backup program.
Please add clipping! I do not care about fps settings or other advanced features, but clipping dramatically improves the movie quality.
(Or add automatic clipping using mplayer -vop cropdetect).
By Anonymous at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: Clipping!
I've just changed the code to use cropdetect to detect appropriate cropping attributes, and to then use those to crop the film :)
You can get the new code by fetching dvd.py from CVS, then overwriting the existing dvd.py with the new one (found in /usr/share/quickrip).
Grab from CVS with your CVS client, or from the web at:
Though the web-based CVS viewer seems to be playing up at the moment, so you might have to wait a while for it to update the new version.

XviD & Ogg Vorbis
Does this support encoding video into XviD format and audio into 5.1 Ogg Vorbis format?
By Jure Repinc at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: XviD & Ogg Vorbis
Both are planned features. If you go to the site and submit a feature request we might be more resolved to implement them ;)
By Tom Chance at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: XviD & Ogg Vorbis
Ooops, ignore me, I've just noticed that you already have :-)

Integrate it into K3b maybe
It would be grea if DVD burning functionality could be integrated into K3b, is tehre such a plan?
Anyway, looks like a good program.
By Mike at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: Integrate it into K3b maybe
DVD writing with dvdrecord is almost finished here (needs some testing, I don't habe a DVD-Writer yet.). DVD+RW writing and video-dvd to follow... :)
By Sebastian Trueg at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
How about...
By Datschge at Sun, 2003/06/15 - 5:00am
Re: How about...
Yeah I think that's a great idea...
By lrandall at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: How about...
Well, typically to be put in the KDE CVS repository it should actually be a KDE application, not just a Qt application. While I did give it a whirl and it's a reasonably nice app for DVD ripping, it doesn't use standard KDE dialogs or menus, doesn't have a DCOP interface, etc. Note that this doesn't make it a bad app, it just means that it's not a KDE app and as such really (in my opinion) doesn't belong in the CVS repository.
By Scott Wheeler at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: How about...
Well, Tom Chance did write in the text at the top of this page (aka "article") that QuickRip currently is only command line and a Qt interface but that he's working on a "full KDE interface" which implies that everything you mentioned will be included (I sure hope so). ;)
By Datschge at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: How about...
I must confess I said that it would be a good idea to add this to cvs based on the function the program performs. I hadn't actually checked whether the program was a KDE app, I just assumed it was. However, if the program was modified to use KDE dialogs, toolbars etc, I think having an app like this in kdemultimedia would be really great...

dvd::rip for those who want more power
QuickRip looks nice if all you want is a simple ripper/encoder. For those who would like more control and functionality, I suggest you take a look at dvd::rip.
By Yama at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: dvd::rip for those who want more power
Why are all these programs written in Python and Perl? I don't like having to struggle around with (snapshots of) language bindings.
By Anonymous at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: dvd::rip for those who want more power
I obviously can't speak for dvd::rip, but for QuickRip, I used Python for several reasons:
o I don't know C/C++ ;-)
As for having to use snapshots, you only need to if you use a distro which made the awful mistake of shipping incompatable versionf of Qt, KDE and PyQt.
If you're a C++ hacker, you could always do a C++ rewrite of any of the apps. Making one from python is particularly easy as it's just a matter of translating the code, since the structure is almost identical.
By Tom Chance at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: dvd::rip for those who want more power
i have coded both C++ qt programs and pyqt qt programs, and i really like pyqt.
pyqt is really nice, no more waiting for compile and no more weird C++ runtime
its splendid for fast prototyping: you have a working prototype in no time.
By ik at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: dvd::rip for those who want more power
emerge PyQt... ;-)
By Carlo at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: dvd::rip for those who want more power
Then encourage your distro to make PyQt and PyKDE a priority. Personally, I'm busting for PyKDE to become better supported so that I can ditch C++ for most of my stuff. It's just amazing how fast (and fun!) things can be done with Python and Qt/KDE...
By Simon Edwards at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
And acidrip
And (in the spirit of opensource ;-) people might also want to check out Acidrip (http://acidrip.sourceforge.net). It lies somewhere in between QuickRip and dvd::rip in terms of difficulty & power, and works very well for me.
By Tom Chance at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
debian packages?
sounds great. Where are the debs for ppc? (hint, hint ;)
By Lee at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
computing power...
hmmm... it's probably not so easy to pull off, but what would be REALLY cool is a network-ripping feature. You know: where the app will maybe copy the raw data to hd, and then talk to other instances of quickrip on the lan, sending them all chapters to work on or something, so that they can co-operate to get the rip done quickly. I'd even settle for something that only worked on a shared filesystem :)
Apart from that, I'd want really good priority management (haven't tried it yet; no time this morning) so that I can run it without it bugging me, and maybe some basic and/or smart scheduling system so it can work when I'm not using my machine.
By Lee at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: computing power...
you mean like dvd::rip in cluster mode ..
By ik at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: computing power...
hmm... I guess that makes sense. A simplicity is definitely top of my priority list for a dvd ripper. Perhaps someday, it'll be easy to use apple's opensourced rendezvous or something to to it automatically, though ;D
By Lee at Mon, 2003/06/16 - 5:00am
Re: computing power...
What they could do is simply break up the work over multiple processes. This will allow it to take advantage of SMP machines, and openmosix can distribute it over many machines.
By JohnFlux at Tue, 2003/06/17 - 5:00am
Multiple chapters
Will it be possible tu easily rip these CDs with the old animes we used to watch as kids ? they have several episodes on one DVD, which are not always on different tracks (some are all on one track, and you have to see the chapters to choose which episode you want to watch)

MLA uses the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the page number from which the quotation or paraphrase was found must appear in the text. A complete matching reference should be on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the text of your paper itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase. The page number, however, should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text.
For quotations that are fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of poetry, enclose the quotation within double quotation marks. Give the page number, or in the case of poetry, the line numbers, in the parenthetical citation.
When writing your personal statement, concentrate on the opening paragraph because that is "is generally the most important" (Stelzer 8).

When your quotation is four or more lines, place the quotation in an indented block of text without quotation marks. The quotation will still be double spaced. Place your parenthetical citation after the last punctuation mark. When citing long sections of poetry, keep the formatting as close to the original as possible, including the original line breaks.
Sylvan Barnet presents numerous issues to consider when writing about art. When discussing portraits, for example, he tells us that a portrait :
Is not simply a representation; it is also a presentation. In a given portrait, how much of the figure does the artist show, and how much of the available space does the artist cause the figure to occupy? What effects are thus gained? (23)

Ideally placed between Paris and Lyon, the Burgundy region is easy to reach. It has long been known as a place of artistic and historical interest, exceptional wines and respected gastronomy. Its famous monuments which recount its thousand-year-old history as well as its relaxing natural sites will conquer you. If you are looking for a place where towns are in perfect harmony with a preserved countryside, Burgundy is the place to be! Dijon, the gateway of Burgundy, is just 1h40 away by TGV from Paris and 1h25 from Basel (Switzerland).
Dijon is best explored by foot. Start your day in the historical town centre and follow the Parcours de la Chouette (Owl Itinerary), which is very clearly marked on the ground, to discover its exceptional architectural heritage which includes churches, the Ducal Palace, numerous 17th century houses and museums.
Make sure to savour a gourmet meal in a Michelin starred restaurant when you are in Dijon. Try out some of the local specialities such as Charolais beef, snails, Bresse chicken or the famous Dijon mustard.
Our tip: From Dijon, visit the Château du Clos de Vougeot, one of the very best table d'hôte of France, which stands in the very heart of Burgundy's vineyards. (Ask about it at the Dijon Tourist Office)
Dijon > Beaune
The next day, take the TER to Beaune (20 min trip), the unavoidable destination for a gastronomic or cultural escapade. After your visit to the famous Hôtel-Dieu, a masterpiece of Flemish architecture whose varnished-tile roofs have become the most recognisable symbol of Burgundy abroad, visit the cellars of one of the greatest Burgundy wine houses.
Beaune > Chalon-sur-Saône
On the 3rd day, take the TER (21 min trip) to Chalon-sur-Saône, a major river port on the Saône. Go for a walk in the picturesque historical centre and around the Place St-Vincent which is transformed into a very attractive market on Friday and Sunday mornings. Continue your visit to the archaeological Denon Museum or the Nicéphore-Niépce photography Museum which is located on the Quai Gambetta. End you day with a short cruise on the Saône on board the "Le Delta" river boat.
Chalon-sur-Saône > Cluny > Mâcon
On your last day, travel to Cluny with the SNCF coach from Chalon-sur-Saône (1h20 trip) to visit one of the largest Christian Abbeys, once "the light" of the Western World. After nine centuries of monastic life, the site now offers a prestigious heritage, including a Museum of Art, mediaeval houses and a superb panorama from the top of the Tour des Fromages.
After Cluny catch the next SNCF coach to Mâcon (27 min trip) and relax on a café terrasse by the Saône River before heading to the archaeological Ursuline.
The Wine Routes
The wine routes are certainly the right way to savour Burgundy and explore the region's essential ingredients of wine, gastronomy and architecture. Chablis, Coteaux de Pouilly-Sancerre, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais… The vineyards of Burgundy stretch out from the north to the south of the region over a length of 250 km. The Burgundy Wine Routes are divided into several itineraries. They take the visitor through 100 different AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) made from two grape varieties: Pinot Noir for the red wines and Chardonnay for the whites. The production results in 200 million bottles marketed annually.
The wines of Burgundy
Wine is without doubt Burgundy's most famous ambassador. However, Burgundy isn't about a single wine but an infinite harmony of wines produced from the same grape varieties, thanks to the individuality of every vineyard and every winegrower. You can meet winegrowers who are as diverse as the landscapes they inhabit and the wines they produce. There are many ways to discover the wines and vineyards of Burgundy, to suit all sorts of people: wine tasting courses, cellar visits, special interest holidays…
What distinguishes the wines in Burgundy is the unique match between the land, the microclimate, the variety of grapes and the individual expertise. This perfect blend is known as the terroir and it is the source of some of the most prestigious wines in the world.
Accommodating wine cellars
Over 270 wine professionals from across the region have signed up to the De Vignes en Caves (from vines to cellars) charter and await your visit, glass in hand. They have taken a vow to offer visitors a very warm welcome. So don't be shy! Open their doors and let them share their passion for wine in the cosy setting of their own cellars. You are sure to meet some great people!
Friendly wine bars
Cosy, cool or festive atmosphere, modern or retro décor… more and more wine bars are opening in Burgundy's towns – ideal places to meet up with friends. They offer an excellent selection of wines recommended by real professionals.
Learn the secrets of wine!
Whether you are a complete beginner, keen amateur or connoisseur, there are wine-related courses for all levels and open to everyone. Learn to taste wine, acquire an understanding of Burgundy wines from the experts – for an hour, a half day or longer. These workshops are designed for everyone, even families, with specially adapted activities for children.

The problem is, there are many choices, and many lenders that only want to get to know your signature. We're in your community and ready to listen to your needs, offering locally-serviced loans that work for you.
We'll have you unpacking boxes in no time.

- Thorough and trusted communication throughout the process
- Quick responses and closings
- Lenders at every office that can help you directly
- Loans catered to your individual situation
- Integrity to never lock you into a bad fit
- Credit life and disability insurance offered
- Free, no-obligation prequalifications
Home Loan Types
Fixed Rate Loans
The major advantage of a fixed rate loan is consistency. Your interest rate payments won't vary, so you can count on a set rate for the life of your loan.
Adjustable Rate Loans
Adjustable rate loans typically feature lower initial rates than fixed rate loans. If you plan to move within a few years or expect additional income, an adjustable rate loan may give you more flexibility. After an introductory period, your monthly payments may go up or down as the rate is adjusted based on the cost to borrow in the market.
FHA Loans
Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are designed to help low-income borrowers obtain a home loan without a large down-payment. These mortgages are issued by federally qualified lenders (like us!) and insured by the FHA.
VA Loans
Individuals who have served in our Armed Forces (and their surviving spouses) are eligible for a mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These loans are intended to open doors for our veterans with potentially better rates, low or no down payments, and fewer credit restrictions.
USDA Loans
Purchase, upgrade, or repair a home with a loan backed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Features like $0 down payment options and low interest rates make USDA loans a great option for low-to-moderate income families in eligible rural and suburban areas.
Bridge Loans
In the perfect world of new home buying, your old house would sell at exactly the same time that you buy your new home. That doesn't happen too often. A bridge loan helps cover costs between buying a home and selling another.
Lot Loans
When you find the perfect piece of land – you just know. Even if you can't build your home right away, a lot loan lets you buy the land where you want to build.
Construction Loans
If you plan to have your home custom built, a construction loan is designed to pay for the building costs.
Jumbo Loans
A jumbo loan enables you get a home loan that exceeds the standard limit. Every county in Ohio has a conforming loan limit set by the government of $453,100. Jumbo loans generally require larger down payments and applicants must have established high credit scores.
Portfolio Loans
Portfolio loans are home loans that are funded entirely by your bank for the life of the loan. Since these loans are not sold to a federal agency, you can benefit from more flexibility and greater consideration of your specific circumstances.
Looking to refinance? Refinancing is a popular way to modify how much you owe on your home. Whether you're trying to lower your monthly mortgage payment, pay off your balance faster, or get cash out of your home equity—we can help you evaluate all of your options. We'll talk through all the factors and give you clear comparisons, so you can enjoy peace of mind from a refinanced mortgage that works for your specific circumstances.
Take advantage of the flexibility and control that a home equity line of credit (HELOC) provides. If you have equity in your home, you can get convenient access to funds that can be used for anything from college expenses to remodeling your kitchen.
Home Sweet Home Loan Program
Concerned that your home value or credit score might make your home improvement project hard to afford? Worried you can't afford the home you have your heart set on? Our specialized Home Sweet Home loan program is a good option to consider. We'll talk with you about your goals, and explain how each loan works, and see if one is the perfect fit for you.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – UMBC senior Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) recorded her team-leading 14th double-double of the season by registering ten kills and 13 digs, but it was not enough as the UMBC volleyball team lost to Hartford in three sets (25-21, 25-23, 27-25), Sunday afternoon in the season finale for both teams at the Sports Center.
Despite the loss, UMBC (18-11, 9-5 America East) will advance to the America East Championships for the sixth-straight year while Hartford ends the season with a 12-18 mark overall and 6-8 record in conference play. The Retrievers will enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed behind regular season champion New Hampshire who will host the four-team playoff.
Senior Emily Witsaman (Medina, Ohio/Medina) recorded double-digit kills for the Retrievers for the second consecutive contest, powering down a match-best 13 winners. Classmate Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) handed out 38 assists for the Black and Gold while freshman libero Casey Griffith (King of Prussia, Pa./Upper Merion) picked up 19 digs.
Dionna Kirton led Hartford by equaling Witsaman with a match-high 13 kills while also scooping up 13 digs to complete the double-double. Setter Jackie Tamburri also notched a double-double with 21 assists and 11 digs.
In the opening frame, UMBC started brightly claiming three straight after dropping the first point of the match. The lead was lost quickly, though, as Hartford ran off seven straight for an 8-3 lead, and the Hawks would not trail again. The Retrievers did not go away, fighting to draw level at 15-15, on a kill by Witsaman, and again at 16-16 following a Sherelle Walker (New Freedom, Pa./Susquehannock) winner. Hartford responded with a mini 3-0 run and held off UMBC to take the set, 25-21.
The Retrievers held the early momentum in the second set, jumping out to a 5-2 lead on another kill by Walker and the sophomore would finish with ten put-aways in the match. UMBC held off the hosts for almost the entire set until Hartford won back-to-back points after trailing 20-19, and then rallied again to win the final three points of the set for a 25-23 set win.
The third set was tight as well as the two squads traded the lead three times and were level on eight other occasions. Down 20-16, UMBC won five of the next six points to draw even at 21-21 on a Walker put-away. Following a block by sophomore Kristen Cooper (Davidsonville, Md./South River) and senior Rebecca Garrigues (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif./Rancho Cucamonga), and then a Cooper kill, UMBC had a set point at 25-24. Hartford regrouped, however, and won the next three points to secure the set, 27-25, and the match.
Dawg Bites
- Hartford's win cuts the UMBC lead in the all-time series to 21-3 and 19-3 in America East play.
- The Hawks have now defeated the Retrievers two of the last three years in Connecticut.
- UMBC had won three straight regular season finales prior to Sunday's loss. The Retrievers last closed the regular season with a loss in 2009.

Argument preview: A Tale of Two Williamses
The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA") placed several substantial limitations on federal courts"™ authority to grant habeas relief to state prisoners. The Supreme Court provided its definitive interpretation of two of the statute"™s limiting provisions in a pair of cases ""both named Williams v. Taylor "" decided on the same day in 2000. In Terry Williams v. Taylor, the Court laid out the analytic framework for 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1), which provides that federal courts shall not grant habeas relief unless the state court decision adjudicating the issue on the merits was "contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law." In Michael Williams v. Taylor, the Court unanimously held that 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(2) does not bar an evidentiary hearing in federal court when the prisoner has "failed to develop the factual basis of a claim in State court proceedings," unless there is "lack of diligence, or some greater fault, attributable to the prisoner or his counsel."
Tomorrow in Cullen v. Pinholster (No. 09-1008), the Court will consider a case in which the two Williamses collide. At issue is the role of evidence admitted in federal court via an evidentiary hearing held pursuant to § 2254(e)(2): may a federal court rely on evidence that was never presented in the state court proceedings to find that a state court decision involved an unreasonable application of federal law under § 2254(d)(1)? The Court will also consider a second question: may a federal court may grant habeas relief when trial counsel consulted with a psychiatrist and the defendant"™s mother in preparation for the penalty phase, but nonetheless failed to discover and introduce mitigating evidence regarding the defendant"™s organic brain damage and traumatic childhood?
In 1982, respondent Scott Lynn Pinholster and an accomplice fatally stabbed two men during a burglary. At trial, Pinholster admitted that he had participated in the burglary, but claimed he was not present when the murders were committed. The jury was unpersuaded, and he was convicted of capital murder.
During the sentencing phase, the prosecution proffered substantial aggravating evidence. By contrast, although Pinholster"™s lawyers were unaware that the state intended to seek the death penalty and consequently had failed to prepare a mitigation defense, they declined the trial judge"™s offer of a continuance. After consulting with a psychiatrist, Dr. John Stalberg, who reported that Pinholster did not show any sign of brain damage or other mental disorders beyond antisocial personality disorder, trial counsel put on only one mitigation witness: Pinholster"™s mother, who testified that his stepfather had sometimes disciplined him to the point of abuse. The jury returned a death sentence.
After his unsuccessful direct appeals, Pinholster"™s case took a winding path through the state and federal judiciary. In his efforts to obtain state post-conviction relief, Pinholster argued that he had received constitutionally ineffective assistance of counsel because his lawyers had failed to investigate and present significant mitigating evidence "" such as testimony from other family members. Moreover, he contended, another psychiatrist had diagnosed him as having serious mental health issues, including bipolar disorder, and opined that he was suffering from an epileptic seizure at the time of the murders. The California courts, however, rejected his claims without ordering discovery or an evidentiary hearing.
Pinholster then sought federal habeas relief. The district court ordered an evidentiary hearing, at which Pinholster developed the mitigating evidence that his trial counsel had failed to introduce at the sentencing phase due to their lack of preparation. He presented, for example, expert testimony of two mental health experts who diagnosed him with epilepsy, severe mental illness, and organic brain damage resulting from two early childhood traffic accidents involving major head trauma. He also presented evidence of severe drug addiction from a very young age, his institutionalization in a mental health facility at the age of eleven, and his long history of epileptic seizures. Concluding that this evidence was admissible under § 2254(e)(2) and Michael Williams v. Taylor because Pinholster had diligently attempted to develop it in state court, and that his trial counsel had been ineffective, the district court granted relief.
A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that there was no reasonable likelihood that the outcome of the sentencing would have been different had Pinholster"™s counsel introduced the mitigating evidence. However, the Ninth Circuit granted rehearing en banc, vacated the panel opinion, and affirmed the district court"™s grant of habeas relief. The en banc majority held that "Congress did not intend to restrict inquiry under § 2254(d)(1) only to evidence introduced in the state habeas court, or to have federal courts imply any such restriction." Thus, the California state court"™s decision was an unreasonable application of the Supreme Court"™s decision in Strickland v. Washington standard, on the basis of the evidence Pinholster developed at the federal district court evidentiary hearing. Chief Judge Kozinski dissented. In his view, "[i]t makes no sense to say that a state court unreasonably applied clearly established Supreme Court law to facts it didn"™t know existed." California petitioned for certiorari, which the Court granted on June 14, 2010.
In its opening brief on the merits, the state first contends that in evaluating whether a state court decision was an unreasonable application of federal law, federal courts must limit their inquiry to the evidence that was available to the state court when it made its judgment. But, in any event, the district court erred in admitting the mitigating evidence, because Pinholster could have developed the record in state court but failed to do so. Finally, it proposes a sequence of analysis that, it contends, will "prevent federal courts from misusing facts developed for the first time in federal court": a federal court must first determine that the state court decision was unreasonable under § 2254(d)(1), in the context of the evidence available to it at the time; only then, on the state"™s view, may a federal court order an evidentiary hearing pursuant to § 2254(e)(2).
Second, the state contends that the state court"™s decision was not an unreasonable application of the Strickland standard. As an initial matter, the actions of Pinholster"™s lawyers met constitutional standards: they consulted with both a psychiatrist and Pinholster"™s mother. Moreover, any flaws in trial counsel"™s representation would not have changed the outcome of the sentencing phase of the trial in light of the abundant aggravating evidence proffered by the prosecution.
Pinholster defends the Ninth Circuit"™s en banc decision in his merits brief. First, he defends its determination that his counsel performed inadequately, emphasizing his lawyers"™ minimal preparation for the sentencing phase of the trial. The mitigating evidence that competent counsel would have discovered "" which was later introduced at the federal evidentiary hearing "" so changes the profile presented to the jury that there is a reasonable probability that the jury would not have returned a death sentence if it had been presented with it.
Second, he claims that the state court"™s decision to the contrary was an unreasonable application of federal law under § 2254(d)(1) in light of the evidence introduced at the evidentiary hearing. He thus rejects the state"™s contention that a federal court should first consider whether the state court"™s decision was unreasonable "" asking why, if a habeas petitioner "could show without any further factual development that the state-court denial of his claim was unreasonable, what need would he have for a federal evidentiary hearing?" Instead, on his view, a federal court may (subject to the limitations of § 2254(e)(2)) first order an evidentiary hearing and admit new evidence; then it may then consider this evidence in determining whether the state court"™s decision was unreasonable.

Over the past eight years, those cute little Lego people - minifigs, as they're known - have virtually traveled to Middle-earth, Hogwarts, Gotham City and a galaxy far, far away in video games developed by TT Games. The minifigs are finally coming home in their latest adventure, an open-world action game created exclusively for Nintendo's Wii U.
"Lego City Undercover" forgoes the wizardry and intergalactic wonder of big-budget franchises for something much more simple: a good old-fashioned police romp set in sprawling Lego City, a diverse metropolis where cars are made out of colorful plastic bricks and residents have interchangeable heads.
As undercover officer Chase McCain, players must seamlessly switch between multiple disguises with different abilities to hunt down Lego City lawbreakers. For example, when dressed as a farmer, McCain can water plants that blossom into vines that can be climbed. If he's imitating a burglar, his crowbar can crack open doors. There's even an astronaut suit.
The game's zany writing and voice acting alternate between corny and hilarious. ("I'll come back and give you my insurance details later!" McCain yells after smashing into other cars.) While youngsters might enjoy "Lego City" the most, there's plenty here for adults who grew up with "Grand Theft Auto," including sendups of "Goodfellas" and "The Shawshank Redemption."
McCain can get behind the wheel of more than 100 vehicles: cars, trucks, boats and helicopters. He can also ride horses, pigs and, at one point, a dinosaur. Outside of the story missions that take McCain inside such Lego City locales as the museum and prison, there are enough side pursuits for even the most obsessive gamers, from capturing aliens to painting bricks.
There are also lots and lots of bricks to pick up.
Just like the "Lego" games that have come before "Lego City," there are millions of studs spread across the world that can be traded in for customizable characters and vehicles. "Lego City" adds superbricks to the mix. These collectibles can be cashed in to craft superbuilds like helipads and stunt ramps.
"Lego City" employs the touch screen of the Wii U GamePad as a police scanner and communicator. It's mostly used to pinpoint locations on the interactive map, but it can also do stuff like spot bad guys through walls, listen in on conversations and snap photos of crimes. It's a neat touch but ultimately feels gimmicky and not integral to the overall experience.
The game's biggest flaw is its mind-numbingly long loading screens that feature nothing more than a spinning police badge and some funky wah-chickah-wah-wah background music. It was a blockheaded decision not to extend the game's charms with some title cards, images or anything - ANYTHING! - other than just a rotating graphic.
Despite that annoyance and a complete lack of any multiplayer mode, there's still a load of fun to be had with "Lego City." It's a must-own for Wii U owners and Lego fans. The developers at TT Games have created a fantastical toy world that proves there's really no place like home. Three stars out of four.

The latest football star to pirouette onto the cast of "Dancing with the Stars" is recently retired quarterback Kurt Warner, according to a report.
Warner, who won a Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams in 2000 and almost won another one with the Arizona Cardinals, follows 2006 winner Emmitt Smith, soon-to-be Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, current Bengal bad boy Chad Ochocinco, retired defensive tackle Warren Sapp and Jets defensive lineman Jason Taylor onto the popular ABC show. Warner would be the first quarterback.
The development, reported by The Washington Post, gives the show a superstar with a squeaky clean image. But Warner's forte during a 12-year career was never his mobility. But don't count him out: No team picked him when he left University of Northern Iowa, and he went on to become a two-time league MVP, a potential Hall of Famer and likely the greatest undrafted player in NFL history.

President Barack Obama said that he was "comfortable" with new federal regulations making emergency contraception available to women and girls over the age of 15, but said more study was needed to see whether it was safe to allow access to the "morning after" pill for girls younger than that.
Following news on Wednesday that the Justice Department would appeal a federal judge's ruling requiring pharmacies to make emergency contraceptives available without a prescription to women of all ages, the president deferred to his Justice Department's decision to appeal the law.
The emergency contraception known as Plan B has been available over the counter to women 17 and older, but the FDA has now decided to make it available to those 15 and older. NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman reports.
"The rule that's been put forward by the FDA, Secretary Sebelius has reviewed. She's comfortable with it; I'm comfortable with it," he said.
On Wednesday, the FDA agreed to lower the age limit to 15 for sales of "Plan B One-Step," and to make the emergency contraceptive available in the general aisles of stores instead of behind the pharmacy counter.
"My suspicion is that the FDA may now be called upon to make further decisions about whether there's sufficient scientific evidence for girls younger than 15," Obama explained at a press conference during a trip to Mexico. "That's the FDA's decision to make. That's Secretary Sebelius's decision to review."
But the president strongly backed the current rule, too.
"I'm very comfortable with the decisions they've made right now, based on solid scientific evidence, for girls 15 and older," he said.

Prophetess (Life) (Barded Warhorse)These spellcasters use the Lore of Life to protect friendly troops, yet frustrate and confound enemies.
Damsels and Prophetesses are powerful individuals, for in their years away from Bretonnia, their innate abilities have been honed and tempered. Their magic is orientated around nature more so than most other human Wizards, for they are taught by the handmaidens of the Lady. Riding into battle, Damsels and Prophetesses use their powers to lend magical protection to Bretonnia's noble warriors, warding away the foul magic of their enemies as well as casting them down with powerful spells of their own. They are also able to mystically encourage the landscape to fight the kingdom's enemies; persuading the trees themselves to lash out at the foe; calling flocks of birds to descend on the enemy at their call; even drawing lightning from the heavens to strike down in devastating arcs.
