My government decides to execute a man who was condemned to death some years ago. My government has a fuzzy impression that perhaps his family should be informed. So my government writes a letter to them—they live in a town in Kashmir—seals it and hands it to its own postal service to deliver.
Wonder of wonders, it is delivered. Just over 48 hours after he is executed.
My newspaper carried comments, made the day the letter reached the family, from the Chief Postmaster General in Kashmir, one John Samuel, and they make eye-opening reading. The letter was dispatched from Delhi by "speed post"—in which you pay much more money for not much faster delivery times—and reached the main post office in Srinagar, capital of the state of Kashmir, the afternoon of February 9, which was already some hours after he was hanged that morning. Samuel is quoted: "The speed post for Srinagar is delivered that very day, but for other districts, it goes the next day. The next day was a Sunday and there was a curfew. But when we found out what the letter was, we made special arrangements to get it delivered"—right here, perhaps you think Samuel will say "the same day"?—"this [Monday] morning."
A callous and utterly botched effort, but even if just a sidelight to this execution, it fits the execution like a favorite glove.
Afzal Guru, as he was popularly known, was the surviving principal accused in the audacious attack on India's Parliament on December 13, 2001. But he wasn't part of the actual attack. That day, five men drove a car into the Parliament complex and started firing. All were killed in the ensuing gun battle, along with a gardener and eight security staffers. Afzal was arrested just two days later and charged with conspiring in the attack. He was tried, found guilty in 2005, and sentenced to die.
In the years since, as he went through the process of appeals and reviews, he became a lightning rod for Indian wrangling over terrorism. One whole shade of opinion, opposed to the death penalty, argued that his sentence should be commuted to life. Many others pointed out that his trial itself was flawed in many respects. In suggesting all this, these folks went up against another whole shade of opinion that wanted Afzal executed right away, perhaps even in public. Every day he was alive, this shade believed, was more proof of the government's weakness, its softness toward terrorism. The government, they shouted whenever and wherever possible, lacked the guts—the balls, why not?—to execute Afzal.
Predictably then, if oddly too, this man's very existence had become a test of Indian virility.
Now I happen to believe India is soft on terrorism, but I'll return to that. There are questions about Afzal and his trial that many people believe were never adequately answered. There was his status as a "surrendered militant," therefore nurtured by paramilitary forces in Kashmir. There were discrepancies in accounts of his arrest. There were doubts about the extent of his involvement in the attack itself. There were concerns about the quality of his legal representation. Writers more knowledgeable about the case than I am have concluded that "a man was hanged who was not guilty beyond reasonable doubt". (Though let's note that other writers have addressed some of these concerns.
Still, there were enough questions that the Supreme Court judges who upheld Afzal's death sentence themselves took note. For example: "All these lapses and violations of procedural safeguards," they wrote, "impel us to hold that it is not safe to act on the alleged confessional statement of Afzal and place reliance on this item of evidence on which the prosecution places heavy reliance."
Still, the judges upheld his death sentence anyway. One short passage (just 10 sentences) in their judgment spells out their reasoning for doing so. Smack in the middle of the passage, we find this: "[T]he collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if the capital punishment is awarded to the offender."
Leave aside every other question. This one sentence, by itself, is deeply and profoundly troubling.
For one thing, who determines this collective conscience? Plenty of Indians want capital punishment taken off the books. Plenty more are not convinced that Afzal was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Do their consciences figure in this supposed collective?
But more important, we hardly expect judges to decide cases based on the "collective conscience of the society." The process of justice itself implies a careful, deliberate consideration of evidence and the law. Nothing more, nothing less. If we instead allow justice to pay attention to a society's "conscience," we might as well dispense with our courts and let mobs hand out instant, and thus intrinsically perverted, punishment.
We who were disturbed by this sentence found all manner of caveats flung at us. "It is an obiter dictum," somebody said to me, apparently thinking that Latin would persuade me. "You have to read it in context", somebody else said to me. All I can say is, I've read it in context—indeed, I've read the entire judgment—several times. No context makes that remark palatable.
And in a real sense, this is why I believe this is a country soft on terrorism. After all, the worst acts of terrorism we've seen in India have gone nearly unpunished. Three thousand Indians were slaughtered in Delhi in 1984, thousands more were slaughtered in Mumbai in 1992–93 and Gujarat in 2002. The great majority of those horrible crimes remain untouched by the law; arguably because plenty of Indians don't want them so touched. Arguably because the same "collective conscience" doesn't want these crimes punished.
It's simple. When you pay attention to a "collective conscience" instead of focusing tightly on justice, you lose justice.
You may even lose that conscience. Softness, right there.

What if you took a set of images that became so popular that it was used hundreds of times all around the world by hundreds of artists, businesses, websites, and publications? As photographers, it's what we all dream about but what if you were never paid for your work? What if you weren't even given credit? What if your images were stolen for years and you never had any idea? If there was ever a video to share, this is it. This is Noam Galai's story.
How I met Noam
Last year I was up in NYC for 2 weeks and I posted on Fstoppers that I wanted to have lunch with random Fstoppers readers for the next 10 business days. Each day I had lunch with a new reader and I met Noam at one of those lunch meetings.
Noam started telling me the story of the stolen scream and I was shocked. How could a set of images become so popular around the world without the creator knowing? How could Noam have such a positive outlook about his image being stolen so many times?
Why I made this video
Months went by and his story kept playing through my mind. I told every photographer I knew about his story and everyone was as captivated as me. It slowly dawned on me that I had to film a video and share his story with the world. Noam is an incredibly quiet and shy person and although he wasn't very excited about being on video, he finally agreed to let me film an interview.
My take on Noam's story
I'm not going to write out his whole story here because it would be impossible for me to write all of the details. Instead, I want to write about my personal experience and take on Noam's incredible story.
When Noam first told me about this I asked many of the same questions that people do when they first hear the story; "how much money did you make?" Have you sued any of these companies?" Do you watermark your images now?" I couldn't understand why Noam was so cool with people stealing his work. It wasn't until I got to interview him that I understood his point of view and how hypocritical my views were.
There is no way to know for sure but I bet if Noam had watermarked his images from the start, none of this would have happened including the Glimpse Magazine cover. The people that were looking for "free" images online would not have contacted him if his images were watermarked, they would have simply found another image to use. By allowing his images to be public, Noam has gotten to experience something that many artists would give anything for. In my opinion, this experience is worth more than any advertising agency could pay for the image. Noam has made almost no money on these images so far, but I believe the money will come. I know many, if not most of you, will disagree with me but I see Noam's Stolen Scream as an amazing example of art and the power of technology. I believe everything worked out for the best.
Who among us hasn't watched a copyrighted video online? Haven't we all illegally downloaded music or at the very least accepted a burned CD from a friend? How many of us currently have copied software on the very computers that we are reading this on? I'm not saying any of it is right but I think we have little room to point fingers.

The start of something HUGE!!!!!!!
Great video again!!!
its scary to see hvow easy it is to have ones images "stolen", but yeah, if you at the same time can live from other of your photo-related work, or just do this as a hobby, wouldnt anyone want to have ONE of their images used around the world, from gigantic companys to the demostrants in Iran, even tough they maybe never get paid, for that ONE image. Can it help them, or will it do no good ? I dont know, but maybe Noah will in a couple of years. =)
Sorry for the typo, NoaM of course.
Check out http://www.photoattorney.com
Register your photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office!
I have so much to say, but speechless at the same time! This is just absolutely wrong on so many levels, but revolutionary at the same time. It reminds me a lot of the famous Che Guevara photo by Alberto Korda!
In this day in age, we should be past the stealing. But I guess it's just begun!
unfortunately, the only way to not have your pictures stolen so easily is to not post them on the web.
It sucks so many douchebags just take without asking.
i hope a lawyer sees this and sees the potential and helps him
Wow. Makes me change the way i look at Flickr and other sites like that. I don't even wanna put my personal vacation pictures up without a watermark now. Thanks for putting this guy's story out. Its nice that you guys use this platform to help the little people.
I was mad for Naom. Especially the graphic designers/photographers that have stolen his work.
Getty Images...you are wrong...love that!
Wow, I wouldn't even know who to sue first...I completely agree with him in that when it's being used for graffiti and other forms of non-profit art I would probably be glad. Of course some credit for the work would be even better. But when people start making that much money on art that was stolen from someone else it's just downright horrible. I can't imagine making that decision before putting it on a shirt saying "no we don't need to pay anyone for this just go find something on flickr." I know this is an extreme case of what could happen but it just discourages people from sharing photos online through this type of service. And that is frightening.
Holy crap! It really is such a double-edged sword. Obviously, as an artist you hope to reach the broadest audience possible. But to have people commandeer your work-- steal it and spread it-- is so wrong on so many levels. As a former lawyer who left the practice seven years ago to pursue photography full-time, I would love to give Noam hope. The unfortunate reality, however, is that this thing has grown so big that nobody can rein it in at this point. As a fellow photographer/artist I am outraged for him. I have never posted my images on flickr...and now I most definitely never will.
I've always personally run my photography business more as a service and getting money up front for my work rather than from royalties and prints. Licensing is def an important issue that should be taken seriously but I can see it in a positive light like Lee is suggesting too. I don't think Noam ever meant for this image to "sell" and it's not a traditional commerical image. That isn't to say he shouldn't be paid for his work but I personally think there is a difference in uploading a random fun photo and getting some traffic out of the blue vs going all out on a photoshoot and then having one of those images stolen and sold for a profit. But then again, I've never created an image seen around the world as much as Noam scream image :) I agree with Jeff, this is most definitely a double edged sword!
I would send each of those companies who make profit out of the photo an invoice if I were him.
I think people take it the wrong way. Flickr was and still is the BEST photo sharing site out there. I still post my best photos on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/noamg/) and you'll be surprised - but i get most of my clients from there. I sold photos to The Rolling Stones, to National Geographic, to Applebees, CNN, Fox, and many others. all those clients found me on Flickr.
Its not like people steal any photo you post there.
People and companies are opportunistic. You can't blame them for it. If you are in business as a photographer, you need to understand that your image is loosing financial value as it makes it's way around the world on a royalty free basis. Sorry Noam, but Getty hit it on the head - your image has lost value because nobody is going to pay for something that's been taken for free over and over again. They can't control it's use, and you can't either for that matter. My advice to new photographers out there is to consider your entire delivery system. Are you emailing photos around willy-nilly? I ended up with a similar situation to Noam's after a handful of my own images were emailed to a friend. About a year later they were plastered all over his adverts, catalogues, etc. with no photo credit, no payment, and no warning. I don't mean to sound negative, but the safe thing is to assume that someone wants to steal each image you post to your blog, Facebook, etc. Manage your assets accordingly. I learned my lesson the hard way like Noam.
I think it's great. But mind you, photography is just a hobby for me, it doesn't pay my rent. Sure, I was mad too, when one of my pictures was stolen by a magazine for the first time. But if you don't have to make a living off of it, it's nice to have people publish your pictures for you, as Noam said.
@Matthew Anderson - Getty had no idea about this story. They just saw the photo and said people wont use it...
It's a double edged sword all right, but I think a part of this is because of the nature of the photo itself.
The t-shirts and the first magazine did it really wrong, since they used the original photo and the magazine even knew to call and thank Noam for it. National Geographic licensed the photo, so nothing wrong there.
The photo on the book cover was credited to another photographer which can be actually right. I didn't see the original photo there, just a graphic version of it. And as you saw on the video the photo is just the right kind for making it into a stencil or a graphic.
What I mean is that the credited photographer might have shot the photo of a graffiti on a wall never knowing about the original artist who made it let alone the person on the graffiti.
So can you sue a photographer for selling a photo of street art or the company who bought it? Well I guess in USA you could, but I don't know if it would end preferably anyway.
I guess the good thing is that you've gotten so much publicity off of this one photo that you couldn't buy that kind of "rep" with any amount of money.
Sure, it must be weird to see your face all over the world and on the internet, and it must be frustrating that people are making money without even crediting you.
On the other hand (if that's your reply Noam) you've sold photos to very big companies after this, so if even a part of those contacts came trough people knowing you on the back of this one photo, then I think it has been worth it.
An excellent video, and thank you for posting and telling the story. To cut to the chase, if that was me, I'd be very, very happy. The exposure after the events, would be worth far more than any payment for that image. Photographers are way too hung up on getting money in their pocket, there are some things money can't buy. Noam, I wish you the best of luck, you will undoubtedly profit from this in the end.
Great story. I'm glad to see that Noam found the bright side out of that. Awesome video as always, Lee.
@Noam- Awesome work on your Flickr. I really hope more eyes worldwide will see your work without exploiting it.
I think that every magazine or publish should have the task of researching the image and finding out who it belongs to before they use it. How can a best selling publisher use and image without knowing where it came from?
Esto es parte de la vida de una obra, la reiterpretacion de oras es la clase de una sociedad visual. Deria estar feliz de que una imagen de convierta en signo tan poderoso. Hay que saber que las fotos que hacemos no son de nosotros si no del resto del mundo tambien.
I can add a similar story to this one.
Not my picture, rather the work of a professional colleague from a nearby city. I am sure you have seen the photo of a pair of older adult hands praying with a baby's head cradled at the wrists, head bowed facing the hands. It is everywhere. I've seen it on bumper stickers, printed in newspapers for decades and on the 'net as well. Jim Carpenter took it when he was working for the Charlottesville (VA) Daily Progress newspaper back in the 70s, and it was first published in that paper. Jim has to date made about $10 off his work. He, too, is philosophical about it.
Amazing story! I wonder if Banksy is behind some of Noam's face pictures on walls.
The problem isn't exposure, it's recognition. Everyone seems to think that it's all about being "seen", but what a photographer needs to operate comes with associating ones self with their work.
The image was stolen plain and simple. It became popular which is a great thing, but out of all the places it had been posted how many of those times had Noam gotten recognition for it? No one will go to him for photography BECAUSE of that image without first knowing that he was in fact the person depicted and/or the photographer behind the shot.
I do agree with what Janne said about the book and the photographer taking a picture of a wall. However, just because an image is open to public display does not mean it merits public distrobution/consumption. Would it be right to take a picture at an art gallery of an image someone painted, doctor the artowrk so it's a clean copy, then reprint and sell withyour name on it?
I think the worst part about being human is that we can legitamize anything. We tell ourselves that because we are doing it, it must be ok. That if no one can see you do it, that it never happened.
Hopefully this video will remedy some of the misinformed, at least in part. Good Luck Noam with all your future endeavors!
This reminds me of that old Wilco song (what light).
I guess you have to take the bad with the GREAT! That image is going to outlive you or any money you might have ever made. This is an artists dream, not a capitalist's (for sure). I bet you can make other fantastic work (that pays) with such talent you have.
This story will spread the word for your side. People will know. They will look for you.
Good luck to you.
This is nuts... I used tineye.com today and already found 3 of my images being used against my terms of use. I also did a lookup for a buddy of mine and he had almost 15 being used the same way. Goodbye public files!

Carson City, NV…Madam Speaker, Mr. President, Distinguished Members of the Legislature, Honorable
Justices of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Officers, Senator Heller, honored
My fellow Nevadans: For nearly 150 years governors before me have stood in front of
this body and delivered their state of the state address. The personal delivery of a
biennial message has become one of our most honored traditions. I'm proud to be here
tonight to continue this tradition, along with the First Lady Kathleen, and my children:
James, Maddy, and Marisa. Thank you for your love and support.
I want to take a moment and pause to remember two extraordinary Nevadans, both of
whom I had the honor of serving with in the Nevada Legislature. First, Gene
Segerblom, who devoted her entire life to the service of this state as a mother,
schoolteacher and state legislator. Her son, Senator Tick Segerblom, is with us tonight.
Tick, Nevada will not soon forget your mother or her service.
Our friend Senator William J. Raggio lived a legendary Nevada life and served in this
building with honor and distinction for over four decades. His legacy is a stirring
reminder for those of us in public service … there are no barriers to what can be
accomplished if we summon the will to work together. I am particularly pleased that
Bill's wife Dale could be with us tonight.
Two years ago, we gathered in a different time, under different circumstances.
As I stood before you on that evening, our state was reeling from the ravages of the
Great Recession.
Nevada led the nation in unemployment, housing foreclosures, and personal
bankruptcies. State revenue projections had dropped dramatically, and we faced
budget cuts in every category.
That evening, I asked the Nevada family to embrace a fundamental course correction—
to leave behind the limits of the past and consider the case of our state's future anew.
The challenges of the moment were too complex to resort to tired partisanship. Rather,
they demanded that we resolve to work together to meet the challenges of the 21st
And we rose to the occasion.
In the final days of the 76th Legislative Session, we were able to work together to craft a
bipartisan compromise that led to a balanced budget, important education reforms, and
a transformed economic development effort. These elements created the foundation of
the progress of the last two years—progress that every Nevadan can be proud of. And
while my last appearance before you was preceded by a period of decline, my
appearance before you tonight has been preceded by a period of growth—yes, growth.
We are emerging from the worst economic crisis of our generation. And though it
remains unacceptably high, our unemployment rate is lower than it has been in over
three years, and it is falling faster than almost every other state in the nation.
And state revenues are growing again—because our economy is growing again.
In the last 24 months Nevada businesses have created almost 30,000 new jobs.
Yes, the last two years have been a success story, not fully realized, but undeniably on
Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I can confidently report to the people of Nevada that the
state of our state grows stronger every day.
Now we stand at the threshold of another legislative session, another 120 days of
decisions that will shape the future of our great state.
We must make some immediate decisions: a budget … and pressing issues of the day.
But that is only part of the task before us.
Our greater challenge is helping a Nevada that is still on the horizon.
It awaits us in the future.
Not too far off, but far enough that we must consider what we can be.
I want us tonight to contemplate a journey that takes us to that other Nevada. And I
want us to agree that what we find there must be the best that it can be. And traveling
with us on that journey will be the children whose faces you see on the screens behind
These children are all members of the graduating class of 2023. They're second graders
It is my hope that the faces of these children will inspire us as we consider both the
short- and long-term realities of our state.
Two years ago we began laying the foundation for improved education in Nevada–to
win a critical victory for Nevada's children. And we did…
We passed laws requiring performance-based evaluations for teachers, ending teacher
tenure as we know it, and reinvigorating the State Board of Education. These historic
reforms were essential changes necessary to ensure success for our children.
But structural reforms alone will not fix our problems. Responsibility for Nevada's
students does not rest with one single group. It is borne by each and every one of us –
parents, educators, school board members, legislators and governors.
To advance the cause of students we must now turn our eye to the classroom. I
continue to believe that literacy is the key to long-term success. And so tonight I again
ask you to take the necessary steps to ensure that every Nevada child can read by
Grade Three.
If children cannot read by third grade, their chances of graduating from high school
become remote.
For pre-Three students, I will propose increased funding for early education in the
state's most at risk schools. And I will ask the Legislature to act quickly, because
Nevada's students cannot wait another two years.
My budget therefore includes an aggressive expansion of all-day kindergarten among
the state's most at-risk schools.
Twenty million dollars is allocated over the biennium for this purpose. This means that
by 2015, almost half of our elementary schools would have an all day kindergarten
If we expect children to read by Three, we cannot continue to ignore all of the data that
tells us all-day kindergarten is a critical foundation for a child's success.
My budget matches this focus on young learners with two initiatives targeting older
We all want the graduation rate to improve.
And we want students to have skills for work or college after they graduate.
One of the most successful programs in the country today is Teach for America – a
unique corps of brilliant young leaders from America's top universities, who give their
time and talent as teachers in schools that need them most.
These teachers help spur innovation and creativity in instruction that makes the entire
system better.
Teach for America has helped make a difference in the lives of hundreds of Nevada's
But we can do more.
I am proposing a new investment in Teach for America to help recruit, train, develop,
and place top teacher and leadership talent in Nevada.
I am also asking that Nevada make a firm commitment to another national program with
proven results. In the last year, I used available funding to pilot the Jobs for America's
Graduates initiative in seven Nevada schools.
JAG helps prevent dropouts by putting a specialist in the school to work with the most
at-risk students.
The work continues even after the students graduate, and transitions students from
high school to college or a career.
It works in over 30 states and it has worked here.
With me tonight in the hall is Dayton High School JAG student Joey Doyle and his JAG
advisor, Nancy Gardner. Joey grew up in challenging circumstances that most of us can
only imagine.
Despite these challenges, Joey made a conscious decision to turn his life around, and
with the help of good friends, mentors, and the JAG program, he is now a senior at
Dayton High School on track to graduate. Joey is proud to be a member of the Dayton
High school JAG Program, and Joey, we are proud of you.
My budget includes sufficient resources to fund the JAG program to include up to 50
additional high schools by 2014 and to serve nearly 2,000 additional high school
To all our current JAG students and specialists, thank you for setting an example across
the state.
As we make these investments, we must also recognize how Nevada has changed: Our
schools are more diverse. More than 15% of Nevada's students are English language
The Clark County School District alone is responsible for more than 50,000 English
language learners, representing more than 150 languages. The challenges these
students confront are wholly different from those faced by their peers, yet our obligation
to them is no less important.
Reality dictates that we acknowledge that reading levels, graduation rates, and college
readiness will not improve until we appropriately focus on these students.
To lay the first plank in building a stronger foundation for these students, my budget
proposes 14 million dollars for an English Language Learners initiative.
I will continue to fight for more school choice. Many students attend schools that are
not meeting their needs. We owe them and their parents additional choice as well as
individualized instruction.
I will introduce an opportunity scholarship bill giving businesses a tax credit for making
contributions to a scholarship fund. These dollars will be distributed, on a means-tested
basis, to students at low-performing schools for use in attending the school of their
All in, the proposed budget includes 135 million dollars in new investment in Nevada's
As parents and taxpayers, we have a right to expect a return on that investment.
While Nevada's teachers will be supported through the most effective professional
development, elevated student performance requires an outstanding teacher in every
classroom, and an outstanding principal in every building. Nevada is on the cusp of
implementing a system that will transform the way we evaluate our state's teachers and
But we need to take the next step.
My budget includes an appropriation for a data system that links student performance to
teacher effectiveness. This system is a long term investment in what will be the
backbone of our approach to teacher evaluation.
It will ensure that parents and students have the teachers they deserve, and that
teachers are evaluated fairly. I believe the future of Nevada's students is bright.
We've already seen progress – not just in passing reforms, but in improving outcomes
for students.
Last year, graduation rates in Clark County rose, third graders in Washoe County
posted their highest reading scores ever, and high school math and science
performance across the state increased.
These are small steps, but they're steps to build on – and we will. What we can never
do though, is fall backwards. My pledge to parents, students and educators is to always
move ahead.
Of course, our efforts to improve education cannot focus only on the very young.
The Nevada System of Higher Education has been an important part of our state's
success since its founding. And it has become an even more important player in our
economic development efforts.
I am pleased to have the Chancellor both as a member of my Cabinet and as an active
member of the State Economic Development Board. With the Chancellor's support, we
are creating new courses of study at UNR and UNLV focused specifically on the sectors
we are targeting for economic growth.
UNLV is working with my office of Economic Development to establish UNLV as the
global intellectual hub for gaming, hospitality and entertainment. I am also proud to
announce that funding is included in my proposed budget to begin the planning and
construction of a new Hotel Administration School at UNLV and a student achievement
center at UNR.
Our community colleges are also meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow. We
are pairing the community colleges more closely with our workforce needs so that they
can deliver students into jobs that will be waiting for them in the new economy.
And, perhaps most importantly for the lives of thousands of current Nevada high school
students, my budget again contains an appropriation to support and extend the Kenny
C. Guinn Millennium Scholarship through 2017.
I would like to take a moment to introduce former First Lady Dema Guinn who is with us
tonight. Dema, I give you my solemn promise, that as long as I am Governor, there will
always be the Millennium Scholarship.
A quality education is the foundation of economic growth—the key to improving quality
of life in our state. However, the modern economy requires more than investment in
education to broaden economic opportunity.
Economic development– getting Nevadans working again –has been my greatest
priority. Over the last two years, we've completely overhauled the way Nevada
approaches economic development.
We have worked as one – Democrat, Republican, independent – north and south –
urban and rural – to improve the economic conditions facing Nevada families.
Two years ago, I promised that with a renewed focus and with your help, Nevada
businesses would create 50,000 new jobs across Nevada in four years time. As I stated
earlier, we are more than halfway there. Nevada's employers have created nearly
30,000 new jobs in the last two years. And in October-November of 2012, Nevada's job
growth was the second strongest in the nation.
In addition to companies like Zappos, we are now seeing dozens of other companies
coming to Nevada, like Apple, Urban Outfitters, NOW Foods, Xtreme Green, Romotive,
and Ameriprise Financial. They bring with them capital investment and good paying jobs
with benefits.
Many other businesses are in the pipeline to start up or expand in Nevada, thanks to the
work of our state and regional economic development teams, and the business
environment we have created right here in our state.
We have made great progress – but our task is far from over. While we aggressively
pursue new businesses outside our borders, we cannot forget the businesses that are
right here in Nevada. We all know Nevada employers continue to struggle with the
aftermath of the Great Recession. To assist their recovery, my budget provides 25
million dollar in further tax relief from the Modified Business Tax for an additional 2,700
businesses. That means that since 2011, we will have eliminated the burden of this tax
on almost three-quarters of Nevada's small businesses.
Let me be clear … Nevada's employers cannot afford higher taxes, and I will not
support them.
You and I know that we must continue to address the unemployment in our state, and
we must deal with the economic realities thrust upon us. Too many of our friends and
neighbors are still out of work, and at 10.8%, unemployment is still too high.
Against this backdrop, many programs have required modernization, and even the job
description of Governor has changed. I have led trade missions to China, Korea, and
Canada. And, missions to Mexico and Israel are planned to expand Nevada's global
footprint. I am committed to leaving no stone unturned – no road not taken.
We must also invest in our Nevada's innovators and entrepreneurs. And tonight, I am
proud to announce that we will commit 10 million dollars to Nevada's Knowledge Fund
to do just that.
For rural Nevada, we have also placed an item in the budget to support the University
Cooperative Extension program, in rural Nevada and we are moving forward on
"Nevada Grown," to provide Nevada farm products for Nevadans, and funds to market
rural Nevada tourism are increased.
And, we are moving forward with our sage-grouse management plan, to show the
federal government that we can manage our own lands and limit further federal intrusion
into our lives.
We will also restructure the nearly 703 million dollars Nevada owes to the federal
government used to pay unemployment benefits to Nevadans who were out of work.
This step will save employers 9 million dollars, stabilize the rate paid by businesses,
and ensure that the entire amount is paid off by 2016.
We will also work on Project Neon, a major new highway project that will meet the most
critical transportation needs of Southern Nevada. Project Neon is perhaps the largest
public works project in Nevada since the construction of Hoover Dam. It will completely
modernize the infrastructure of Southern Nevada's transportation grid and ensure that
our commute is safer and more efficient for decades to come.
Nevada must continue to lead in other ways, and no opportunity is as rich with promise
as our primary industry, gaming. Nevada was the first state to legalize and regulate
online gaming. In the absence of federal action on this issue, Nevada must continue to
The Nevada Gaming Control Board will bring legislation to eliminate Nevada's statutory
barriers to interstate online poker, and ask for authority to enter into interstate
agreements. Nevada has always been the gold standard of both gaming regulation and
operation, and I intend to see to it that our state will lead the world into this new frontier.
Other states are moving quickly on this issue and I ask you to pass a bill within 30 days.
The promise of these ideas is real. The chance to innovate is exciting.
But even as we work to modernize our economy and set a new course toward a brighter
economic future, we must address the consequences of the prolonged economic
Last month, I announced that Nevada would comply with the provisions of the
Affordable Care Act as they related to the expansion of Medicaid services. As a result,
some 78,000 more Nevadans will now have coverage – without facing the new tax
penalties imposed by the Affordable Care Act.
The federal law allows us to shift mental health and other state spending to Medicaid
sources, saving the General Fund nearly 25 million dollars over the biennium. Over the
next 6 years, this comprehensive approach will create up to 8,000 new health care jobs
and inject over half a billion dollars into our state's economy. And, as I've noted before,
we must reduce taxes on businesses to help them bear the increased costs of the
Affordable Care Act.
But, the issue of long-term health care costs remain. As such, I believe we must ask
certain Medicaid patients to make a modest contribution toward the cost of their own
care. And I will insist that Nevada be able to opt-out of the Medicaid expansion program
in future years, should circumstances change.
Beyond Medicaid, my budget provides additional funding for our state's most vulnerable
citizens. It includes more support for autism and early intervention services, piloting
24/7 mental health care in southern Nevada, and increased community based services
for Nevada's disabled and senior citizens.
We have all been touched by the housing crisis over these last few years and Nevadans
continue to struggle with home foreclosures. Last year, thousands of Nevadans
attended a free housing assistance event in Las Vegas, sponsored by our own
Department of Business and Industry, called "Home Means Nevada." At the
comprehensive event, over 250 representatives from banks met with homeowners and
provided help on the spot. While many Nevadans received assistance at the event, we
must continue to do more.
Working with Attorney General Cortez-Masto, my administration will use multistate
settlement funds to assist Nevadans who have been hardest hit by the housing crisis.
We are obligated as leaders to find ways to keep people in their homes and families
together. And I will use every available means at my disposal to protect and help the
people who fight every day to stay in their most important possession, their home.
The recession has hurt the entire Nevada family.
State employees have seen their pay cut and have been required to take unpaid
furlough days. Tonight, I am announcing that we will be able to provide some relief to
them as well. Merit pay will be restored for state employees beginning on July 1, 2014,
and the number of required furlough days will be cut in half as of July 1 of this year.
There is another group that deserves our attention and respect – our veterans. The
men and women who have served our nation in two wars are coming home. Tonight, I
ask you to join me in remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and
those who have not yet returned.
Over 300 Nevadans remain deployed with our Army and Air National Guard, and many
more of Nevada's finest are serving in uniform at home and abroad.
With us tonight is one Marine recently returned home, a reminder of all those who
remain deployed, Gunnery Sergeant Ben Stryffeler. I had the privilege of meeting Ben
two years ago. Since then, we have twice chatted over breakfast about his life and
military service. Ben graduated from Carson High School 17 years ago and immediately
enlisted in the Marine Corps. Since then, he has served his country with dignity and
honor, being deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan. Ben returned home from
Afghanistan over a month ago, after serving alongside a weapons company that
engaged in heavy combat. Gunnery Sergeant Stryffeler represents the best that we can
be. Ben and all the men and women of the military deserve our heartfelt gratitude and
Ben, if you would please stand and be recognized.
In honor of those who serve in the Armed Forces, my budget contains funding for
additional veterans service officers. And it also includes money to begin the first phase
to build a new, stand-alone veteran's home in Northern Nevada, to complement the
veteran's home in Boulder City. These resources will help ensure that our service
members receive the benefits they deserve. We owe the men and women who serve
our country nothing less than total victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, by doing all of these things, we are laying the groundwork for the
future of our children and their families. They are the foundation of my budget and will
continue to be the primary focus of my administration.
My Executive Budget that will be transmitted to the Legislature tonight represents
General Fund spending of approximately 6.5 billion dollars for the next two years –
which is a modest increase over my last budget. Caseload growth in Health and
Human Services drives much of this increase. My commitment to K-12 education has
also increased spending for our schools. But we must only allow for growth that our
fragile economic recovery can bear.
In this budget, we've reduced the tax burden on local businesses, we've addressed
increasing caseloads and we've begun to diversify our economy. The social service net
is stronger. Support for education is increased. And Nevadans will continue to
benefit from the over-arching policy of this administration throughout this economic
downturn – that is, we cannot cut our way out, we cannot tax our way out, we can only
grow our way out.
And that is exactly what we are doing.
As Nevada prepares to celebrate 150 years of statehood, we must consider how far we
have come and prepare for what lies ahead. 2014 is not just the anniversary of
Nevada's statehood. It also marks the centennial year of the approval of women's
suffrage in our state.
Nevada gave women the right to vote in 1914, five years before the rest of the nation
adopted the 19th Amendment in 1919. It is my hope that the celebration of women's
suffrage and the commemoration of Nevada's 150th birthday will provide a joint platform
for examining who we are – and who we can be.
Nevadans are rightfully proud of their history. We are also cognizant of the world
around us. And we are ever mindful of those students whose faces inspire us to plan
big for a bright future.
Tonight, we can take pride in our progress.
The table has been set by economic improvements, and we can now see a light at the
end of the tunnel. But problems persist, and they demand our attention.
Such is the current context in which I have come before you tonight to describe the
budget and the policy agenda placed before the 77th Session of the Legislature. It is a
context of improvement, realism and yes, optimism. It is a context in which we are cast
again in the role of problem-solvers. My plan represents the next phase of recovery and
Tonight, we prepare to embark on a legislative session that I hope will set an example
of bipartisanship. Two years ago we gathered in difficulty and confronted a time of
triage. Then, we were consumed by the effort simply to stop the free fall. Tonight, we
come together to further stabilize our state and lay a stronger foundation for its future.
From the vantage point of this new foundation, from the watershed moment of our 150th
birthday, we can cast our gaze to the horizon – to the world we want for the graduating
class of 2023: an educated and healthy citizenry, a vibrant and sustainable economy,
safe and livable communities, and an efficient and responsive state government.
Each step we will take – indeed each of the many steps taken over the last two years –
is coming together to reveal a map of promise and opportunity.
And I know in my heart it will guide us, not just where we want to go, but where we
I am proud to be your Governor, and I am proud to call the State of Nevada my home.
God Bless you, God Bless America and God Bless the great state of Nevada.

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland which serves to synchronize and coordinate biological functions of the body. This hormone appears in foods in only trace amounts and, therefore, supplementation supports the natural functioning of the pineal gland. Melatonin is important in regulating sleep, circadian rhythm and the body's natural time clock. Melatonin is also an important antioxidant, rapidly taken up by the brain, which acts as an effective scavenger of highly toxic free radicals, which induce DNA damage. The amount of melatonin produced by our bodies seems to decrease with age.

There has been a paradigm shift toward ecological and microbial community-based approach in understanding oral diseases. A marked improvement in gastrointestinal health has been reported after using probiotic bacteria and/or prebiotic supplements,which has prompted much interest in the use of this approach for oral applications. Treatment of periodontal disease in recent years has moved toward an antibiotic/antimicrobial model of disease management. With increase in the incidence of resistance to antibiotics, probiotics may be a promising area of research in periodontal therapy. This paper reviews the evidences for the use of probiotics or prebiotics for the prevention of dental caries or periodontal diseases, and also adresses the risk associated with their prolonged use. Many questions have been raised pertaining to the benefits of probiotic administration, as the role of probiotics in periodontics is still in infancy, and a complete understanding of the broad ecological changes induced in the mouth by probiotics or prebiotics is essential to assess their long-term consequences for oral health and disease.

The Best Tool For Finding Similar Songs And Duplicate Music Just Got Better – Audio Dedupe 22.214.171.124
Unlike standard duplicate file finders Audio Dedupe can find similar and duplicate songs regardless of the file format. Audio Dedupe performs real audio analysis and "Listens" to the songs in order to find similarities. It can recognize exact duplicates or even remixes of the same song stored in different file formats. The tool supports plenty of file formats and will put an end to the mess in you music collention, iTunes, iPod, iPad, iPhone or other mp3 player devices. Here are some of the supported file formats: Supports MP3, MP2, MP1, MPA, WAV, OGG, AIFF, AAC, MP4, FLAC, AC3, WavPack (WV), Musepack (MPC) and Windows Media Audio (WMA) file formats.
Manage duplicates list – remove duplicate files easier
Version 188.8.131.52 provides two new features for managing the duplicates list. "Remove from List" context menu item is added that will remove the selected entries from the list. If the option "Remove groups that contain single file after move/delete" is enabled in the settings removing an item from a group that contains just two entries will automatically remove the group from the list. This option minimizes the chance of removing unique files from the library.
The other context menu item named "Remove Group from List" will remove the selected group without deleting any files.
Find duplicate songs faster
This release adds some performance improvements and provides better multithreading support. This means that the resources of a computer will be utilized better in order to provide faster performance. These improvements have higher impact on systems with multi-core CPU's.
Additional duplicate music finder improvements
Issues related to deleting large amounts of files are now fixed and performance improvements are applied. A problem related to rotated desktops (mostly on tablet devices) is now resolved. A fix is added for better backward compatibility and old project files are now handled without issues.
An issue with the manual selection of files (ticking) is now resolved. In certain cases the space bar was not working.
An improvement related to to extracting associated file icons is applied which adds also performance improvements.

It's been four months since Grace Belle, Perrie Edwards, and Maya Canning left the town of Foster. The life in New York has been amazing but... Perrie, Grace, and Maya know that things will never be the same without their lives back in Foster. The three know that they will most probably never see any of the boys ever again. That was-until-the boys find the girls and take them back home. Back to where the scent of danger fills the air so much like it's a drug. But the real problem is, will Grace go back to either Harry or Luke? Will she have to pick between them? Or, will she just take the first chance she has to leave Foster again and make sure she never returns?

It took me a while to find the Edward Said Musical Kindergarten. It slouches on a battered Ramallah side street, just off the main road to Nablus. Most people looked blank when I asked for directions. To get in, I had to drag back a rusty latch that opened the garden gate.

One of the most over looked aspects of your clubs that are over looked is your lie angles.
If the lie angle is too upright, the heel of the club will tend to hit the ground first.
If it is too flat, then the toe will make contact first and tend to dig.
Either way, your ball contact will be off center and less than solid causing loss of distance.
Every one degree off can cause your ball to fly up to 4 yards off line.
Every manufacturer has different standards, so be sure you have the correct lie angles for your swing.
If you are purchasing new clubs, make sure they are checked and bent before you leave with them, and have them checked at least once a season.

May always reminds me of crime movies. Like the Godfather or GoodFellas. Syndicated crime. All organized, where the people speak in Italian accents and wear nice suits and kill each other with baseball bats. I always draw parallels between these movies and real life, where under-the-table deals ensure victories for certain parties, while everyone gets a little something, like a later victory down the road.

2) You can't vote for the same person two days in a row **
3) You must state why you voted for the person
4) Person must be Lord of the Rings/Tolkien related
5) Votes must be in bold.
6) You can't vote for Aragorn because he won last month
* This applies to whatever time zone you are in. Even if the TORC time works out so according to it you're posting within the same day, it doesn't matter. But don't abuse your authority.
** This means you may not vote for the same person consecutively. If you vote for Frodo Monday and do not vote at all Tuesday, than you cannot vote for Frodo on Wednesday.
Due to popular request, this is the list of the previous winners. As each month passes, we will add the next winner to it:
June '03 Haldir
July '03 Orophin
August '03 Legolas
September '03 Frodo
October '03 Sam
November '03 Beren

Due to the unavoidable lateness in getting this up, those in certain time zones may have been prevented from voting for this first day. If you are one of those people who intended to vote, came to this place, and saw there was no thread, you may post a single post containing the votes for two different people/creatures and mentioning the reason why you're doing so.
Please do note, however, that later in the month you cannot double-vote if you miss a day. I only make allowances when it's my fault.

A malicious PDF document that exploits bugs in Adobe Systems' Reader and Acrobat software is on the loose, Symantec said, just hours after Adobe patched the programs.
"This mass mailing of exploit files may be an attempt to leverage the exposure window between patch release and widespread adoption of the fix," said Symantec in a warning to customers of its DeepSight threat intelligence network.
The rogue PDF document is attached to spammed e-mail, and arrives with a filename such as YOUR_BILL.pdf or INVOICE.pdf, said Symantec. It exploits the "mailto:" protocol vulnerability disclosed more than a month ago by U.K.-based researcher Petko Petkov.
Adobe fixed the flaw and released updated 8.1.1. editions of both Reader and Acrobat that plug the hole. Users of older versions of the popular programs must either upgrade to 8.1.1 or apply one of the temporary work-arounds Adobe provided to stifle attacks. Adobe did say that it would update Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and Acrobat 7.0.9 "at a later date" but did not set a definitive timeline.
When recipients open the attacking PDF, it launches a Trojan horse dubbed "Pidief.a" that knocks out the Windows firewall and then downloads another piece of malware to the compromised computer. That second piece of attack code is a dedicated downloader that can retrieve files from a remote server and, at the attacker's command, pull them onto the hacked PC.
"The host [server] is live and still currently serving [the downloader] over FTP," said Symantec this morning. The server is well known for hosting malicious software, the warning added.
Although Adobe patched the newest versions of Reader and Acrobat, the vulnerability is ultimately Microsoft's responsibility. The software vendor owned up to that two weeks ago, saying that it would patch common protocol handlers such as mailto: in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
Only users running the Internet Explorer 7 browser on XP or Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable to the PDF exploit.
"[Users] are advised to apply the patches outlined in Adobe Advisory APSB07-18 as soon as possible," Symantec recommended.

- Saint Albans, Charles Beauclerk, 1st duke of, Baron Heddington, earl of Burford
▪ son of Charles IIborn May 8, 1670, London, Englanddied May 10, 1726, Bath, Somersetillegitimate son of Charles II, the elder of two illegitimate sons born to Nell Gwyn (Gwyn, Nell), an English actress.Charles Beauclerk was created Baron Heddington and earl of Burford in 1676 and duke of St. Albans in 1684. The latter creation took place shortly after the death of Henry Jermyn, the earl of St. Albans. He served as a colonel in the regiment of horse of Queen Anne of Denmark and served in the imperial army of Leopold I, being present at the siege of Belgrade in 1688. After the battle of Landen in 1693, William III made him captain of the gentlemen pensioners and, four years later, lord of the bedchamber (1697–1702). Granted the position of ambassador extraordinary to Louis XIV on the occasion of the marriage of the duke of Burgundy, he was reported to have made a very bad impression, failing to make presents to the "introducers," borrowing money, and leaving unpaid bills. His Whig leanings prevented his advancement under Anne, but he was restored to favour at the accession of George I. St. Albans was buried in Westminster Abbey. His wife Diana, daughter and heiress of Aubrey de Vere, last earl of Oxford, was a well-known beauty and served as lady of the bedchamber to Caroline, princess of Wales.

The arteries which supply blood to the leg originate from the aorta and iliac vessels.
These arteries can become blocked with atherosclerotic plaque. Symptoms of such a blockage include pain, most frequently in the foot and calf, and ulcers and non-healing sores of the foot and leg.
Peripheral arterial bypass surgery is required for atherosclerotic lesions in the arteries of the leg. This surgery involves using a vein graft (saphenous vein), taken from the same leg, and suturing the vein into the artery to bypass the blockage. While the patient is anesthetized using general or spinal anesthesia, an incision is made in the inside of the leg from the groin to below the knee.
The vein is freed from the surrounding tissue, and then sewn into place in the artery, above and below the atherosclerotic blockage.
Patients usually are able to walk within a few days of surgery, and often experience relief from pain immediately. Lifestyle changes, such as dietary changes and stopping smoking, are critical to the long-term success of peripheral arterial bypass surgery.

Focusing on applied and clinical examples, the Second Edition of PRINCIPLIES OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGY is an exciting and dynamic approach to neuropsychology that should inspire both students and teachers. This progressive and accessible text teaches brain function in a clear and interesting manner by providing the most recent studies and research available in this ever-developing field. Applying the underlying thesis that all interactions in daily life, whether adaptive or maladaptive, can be explained neuropsychologically, the authors emphasize five specific ideas: human neuropsychology-both experimental and clinical, integration of theory and research, coverage of the relationship between neuroscience and behavioral function, real-life examples, and the presentation of didactic aids. Integrating these themes with the most up-to-date research provides all readers-whether or not they have had previous exposure to the field-with the most current and accessible text available.Zillmer, Eric A. is the author of 'Principles of Neuropsychology', published 2007 under ISBN 9780495003762 and ISBN 049500376X.[read more]

City officials try to have it both ways.
They blame their pension woes on the mighty California Public Employees' Retirement System. But when CalPERS tries to do the right thing, as we just saw, cities drag their feet like petulant children.
CalPERS administers pensions for 450 of California's 482 incorporated cities and towns. For years, the nation's largest retirement system has used accounting gimmicks that have kept those municipalities' rates artificially low. As a result, cities have been underfunding the generous benefits they promised workers.
Labor leaders like that because it leaves more money each year for salaries. Similarly, many city council members go along because it pleases unions that fund their campaigns and leaves more discretionary money in annual municipal budgets.
CalPERS has fallen billions of dollars short and needs cities to start paying off their portion of the debt at a more reasonable pace instead of leaving it for our children and grandchildren. It's not only a matter of fairness to future generations; the fiscal integrity of the entire pension fund is at risk.
CalPERS deserves much blame for its years of deceptive accounting. But city officials must own up to their complicity. Any competent city manager or conscientious council member should have seen the problem and set aside more money.
Now city leaders are playing the victim card. The hypocrisy reached absurdity last week as the CalPERS board made much-needed accounting changes that will bring rates closer to where they should be.
Natasha Karl, lobbyist for the League of California Cities, and officials from 28 cities pleaded for delay. "We are concerned," Karl wrote, "that these changes may further jeopardize cities working to achieve financial stability and the unintended consequence may be the risk of making some agencies insolvent."
Yes, cities will face higher rates. But the money goes toward paying off their debts.
The extra funds will provide more security for employees counting on the benefits, reduce the intergenerational debt transfer and lessen the chances of sharp rate increases in bad economic times.
Cities will have plenty of time to prepare.
The rate increases constitute only a small part of their total pension costs and will be phased in over a five-year period that will not even begin until 2015-16.
"Quite frankly," said Ron Bates, city manager of Pico Rivera, "they (CalPERS) are not being aggressive enough."
Bates chairs the city manager's pension reform committee for the League of California Cities. He understands why CalPERS actuary Alan Milligan and CEO Anne Stausboll pushed their board to act.
"They were thinking if they didn't do this … and we hit another bad patch of time, the biggest retirement system in the country could be in real trouble." Unfortunately, while Bates understands this, Karl was making a different pitch to the CalPERS board, arguing that cities needed more time to vet the plan.
Actually, cities had been provided plenty of opportunity to study the changes. CalPERS staff had been warning about the adjustments since 2011 and had made the details available more than a month ago.
It was time for action. Cities should have applauded the move rather than throwing obstacles in the path. Instead, Karl's delay plea echoed and buttressed the cry by some labor groups that were trying to kill the change.
Delay would have been especially beneficial to labor unions representing 167,000 state employees currently negotiating new contracts. The longer the postponement, the less short-term funds would go toward pension contributions and the more money would appear to be available for raises and benefits.
To his credit, Gov. Jerry Brown's administration pushed for prompt implementation. "We believe it's a matter of pay now or pay more later," said Richard Gillihan, who oversees pension costs in the state Department of Finance. "We believe pay now makes more sense."
A majority of the CalPERS board members voted Wednesday to make the accounting changes. But they ignored the governor and delayed implementation for state government by a year to 2015-16, the same start date planned for cities and other local agencies.
As for city officials across California, they should explain to their constituents why their lobbying organization tried to stall the move.

California beach town sees flooding from hurricane
SEAL BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- A low-lying street in the Southern California shore community of Seal Beach was inundated by rising seawater early Wednesday while authorities along the coast braced for an even bigger storm surge brought on by Hurricane Marie spinning off Mexico's Pacific coast.
Several homes and garages were flooded after water cleared a 2 1/2 foot wall along several blocks of an oceanfront street, said police Sgt. John Scott.
Resident Blanca Dubonbrown told City News Service she woke up late Tuesday to find her first-floor apartment bedroom under 3 inches of water. Several of her neighbors in ground floor apartments also experienced flooding.
"I was getting ready with the sandbags, but it was too late when I tried to put them up," she said.
Another breach was reported less than a mile to the north, in the Peninsula neighborhood of Long Beach, where a sand berm was overtopped by the storm surge, causing minor street flooding, according to fire department spokesman Jake Heflin.
No injuries were reported.
Seal Beach Marine Safety Chief Joe Bailey said crews were trying to dig a channel to allow water that had breached a beach wall to drain back into the ocean.
Workers were also piling sandbags along the streets and erecting a sand berm to hold back the storm surge before the next high tide, expected shortly before 11 a.m.
"I've been doing this for 25 years, and this is the biggest southern swell I've seen," Bailey told City News Service.
The National Weather Service said beaches stretching 100 miles up the Southern California coast would see large waves and rip currents. Swimmers and surfers were urged to be aware of the dangerous conditions.
At The Wedge in Newport Beach, a famous surfing spot, dozens lined the beach on Tuesday to watch bodysurfers get pounded by storm-driven waves up to 10 feet high. People took photos and video and clapped, whistled, and cheered when a bodysurfer caught one of the swells.
Lifeguards with flippers and rescue batons at the ready patrolled the edge of the water and two rescue boats kept an eye on the dozen or so brave souls in the water. An ambulance was on stand-by.
Would-be big-wave surfers who came out said they were hoping for swells up to 30 feet Wednesday. If they materialize, it will be the biggest wave event at The Wedge since 1997, when Hurricane Linda produced monster swells, said Tim Burnham, who's making a documentary about the famed surfing locale.
"This is the stuff that you dream of: rainbows, unicorns, Southern Hemi swells, hurricane swells," he said as he dried off from a session in the waves.
"You definitely have a healthy amount of fear," Burnham said. "You know, you don't want to be stupid. You're here to push yourself, but at the end of the day you want to go home to your family."
Some 60 miles to the northwest in Malibu, where waves were 6-to-8 feet high, a surfer was pulled unconscious from the water at Surfrider Beach on Tuesday and later died at a hospital, authorities said. It was not clear whether the death was related to the surf and may have been from a medical condition, Kyle Daniels, a Los Angeles County lifeguard captain, told the Orange County Register. Malibu Pier was closed after a piling was knocked loose Tuesday in big waves.
Associated Press writer Christopher Weber contributed from Los Angeles.

While JaMarcus Russell has done little, if anything, to deserve a benefit of the doubt, it's not entirely fair to make an issue out of being absent for the first day of the offseason workout program.
The Chronicle reported Russell did not appear to be on site as other players arrived, which may well be true.
And while in terms of symbolism and his draft status that he show up on Day 1, chances are good a handful of others weren't there either.
The offseason program runs through June, is voluntary, and isn't a full-squad event.
Players are asked to appear a certain number of days, but can go as often as they wish and make up days they failed to attend.
It doesn't become a problem unless Russell remains a no-show to the point where he can't get in the requested amount of workouts and isn't adhering to the wishes of the training staff.
Considering Russell's performance last year, it's easy to assume the worst and think maybe he's not quite ready to step on a scale and that the unconfirmed reports of being in Arizona to train were either wishful thinking or exaggerations of the work he really put in.
It's up to Russell to begin showing his teammates he's ready to put in the time to be a starting quarterback, particularly when worker bees Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye are already on hand
But as of now, it's just one day of a voluntary program, and it's entirely possible Russell has a schedule with the club in place that didn't include March 15.

VATICAN CITY — A new Vatican instruction on bioethics, prepared by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is scheduled to be published Dec. 12, informed sources said Wednesday.
The document, under discussion for two years, is expected to examine ethical issues in biological research and health care that have emerged in recent years, including the cloning and freezing of human embryos, stem cell research and new therapeutic possibilities.
When members of the doctrinal congregation met in a plenary session last January, U.S. Cardinal William J. Levada, congregation prefect, said much of their discussion focused on the field of bioethics.
At that time, the cardinal hinted that a document was in the works. He said it might examine new therapeutic options and some ethical problems that were not explicitly considered by two previous church documents: the doctrinal congregation's instruction "Donum Vitae" ("The Gift of Life") in 1987 and Pope John Paul II's encyclical, "Evangelium Vitae" ("The Gospel of Life") in 1995.
Pope Benedict XVI was head of the doctrinal congregation when both those documents were published. Addressing the congregation in January, the pope said the new problems included the freezing of human embryos, the selective reduction of embryos, pre-implant diagnosis, research on embryonic stem cells and attempts at human cloning.
The pope said the starting point for the church's reflection remains the same:
The two fundamental criteria for moral discernment in this field are unconditional respect for the human being as a person from the moment of conception to natural death, (and) respect for the originality of the transmission of human life through the acts proper to spouses.
The new document is expected to be unveiled at a Vatican press conference, the sources said.
