'Fringe' Star John Noble Joins 'Legends Of Tomorrow'
Fringe star John Noble is lending his voice to the character Mallus on DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
Mallus is the mysterious villain opposing the Legends of Tomorrow in the third season of The CW series. His voice will be heard for the first time in tonight's episode, "Return of the Mack."
Executive producer Mark Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly a bit about the villain.
"That's the big mythology of the season and what makes Mallus cool at this stage of everyone's viewing experience is that right now he is just a name and is this whisper," Guggenheim says. "You'll learn more about him in [episode] 305."
What fans know of Mallus so far is that one of his acolytes has already resurrected Kuasa (Tracy Ifeachor) and that they'll next be resurrecting the villain Damien Darhk.
While Guggenheim says more resurrections aren't out of the question, there aren't
"Theoretically, but I don't think we have plans to resurrect anyone else at the moment," Guggenheim says.
While Noble is best known for his role on JJ Abrams' Fringe, he has also been a big part of Sleepy Hollow and Elementary. It should also be noted that, in Arrowverse tradition, Noble providing the voice for Mallus does not mean he'll be the actor under the mask. For example, Tony Todd voiced Zoom in the second season of The Flash, only for Teddy Sears to be revealed as the man in the suit. Similarly, Tobin Bell voiced The Flash Season Three villain Savitar, who was later revealed to be a future version of Grant Gustin's Barry Allen.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Landing Gear Failure Prompts Emergency Landing
Airlines & Airports American Airlines Rich Thomaselli February 10, 2015
An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday night, with only one minor, non-life threatening injury.
American Airlines flight 1825, operated by merger partner US Airways, was forced to make an emergency landing at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston after its landing gear failed to deploy.
The flight had departed Philadelphia International Airport.
The pilot realized the front landing gear was not down as he made his approach to Houston and decided to make an emergency landing after contacting the airport and the Federal Aviation Administration. He was able to make a safe landing of the Embraer 190 aircraft, albeit a spectacular one with sparks lighting up the darkened runway at almost midnight EST.
The 52 passengers and four crew had to exit on slides; one passenger was taken to a nearby hospital with non-serious injuries.

Tasty, But Over-Priced
I went to Alfredo on a rainy night after a long day at museums, and was searching for a good hot Italian meal. The food here was tasty, but over-priced. I've had equally delicious Italian food in Midtown for a much more reasonable price, but I somewhat expect it from the location and the ambiance of the restaurant.
My opinion of the service fluctuated throughout the meal. For the most part, our server was ok, but not consistently attentive. At the end, we got a free taster of a port wine and the server attempted to inform us of its origin, though he seemed to not have his facts straight.
The menu had a huge selection and every plate I saw come out of the kitchen looked really appetizing. I ordered a seafood pasta special, which was great, but I will say the portions were on the small side. Everyone at my table ate all of their food, which is pretty uncommon at an Italian restaurant. The vibe of the restaurant felt slightly pretentious, and I probably wouldn't go back or seek out this restaurant again, but I was very satisfied with the food I had, as far as flavor and quality.

Tiny Toon Adventures: Plucky's Big Adventure PlayStation Video Game Review
By Paul Rudoff on Jul. 26, 2002 at 12:00 PM in Video Games
This review was originally written on July 26, 2002
It's Resident Evil Without The Zombies!
It's Resident Evil Without The Zombies!
Tiny Toon Adventures: Plucky's Big Adventure (PBA) is a "hunt and gather"-type puzzle game just like Resident Evil (RE). In both games you have to find an item, use it in conjunction with something else, and then take it someplace to complete a puzzle or objective. In RE you have an inventory capable of holding eight to ten items, in PBA you can only hold two items at a time (one for each hand, I guess). In RE there are Item Boxes which can hold 50 or more items (I don't know the exact count), in PBA you have a locker which can hold nine items (although each character has his/her own color-coded locker and combination, they can use each others lockers and the items in the lockers are shared). If this seems like PBA is a bit deprived, keep in mind that in PBA you don't need weapons, ammo, herbs, and health items.
Every game needs a danger element, and this one is no exception. Instead of zombies and other assorted creatures which you can mutilate with a vast arsenal of weapons like in RE, you have Elmyra and Montana Max who patrol five of the six hallways in an attempt to catch you (luckily they don't venture into the hall with the lockers or any of the rooms). If they catch you, you have to quickly press left and right on the D-pad (or jiggle the analog stick left and right) in order to break free of their grasp. If they grab you too many times, your character will be captured and it's up to the previously character you played as to rescue them. You start playing as Plucky Duck, then Hampton J. Pig, Babs Bunny, and finally Buster Bunny (no relation). If Buster gets captured, you have to play as Babs to rescue him before resuming play as Buster ... and so on. If Plucky gets captured, then it's game over. You have no weapons and no defense again Elmyra and Montana Max. You just simply have to avoid them.
The controls are pretty solid. I had no problem at all moving the character around, avoiding Elmyra and Montana Max (ducking into another room and coming back out also helped), picking up and using items (though there was one or two items which gave me problems). The controls that deal with your inventory may be awkward at first (especially if you're used to RE control), but they're very easy to get used to. By the way, I chose to play with the D-pad (I turned off the analog mode on the controller), so I can't comment on how well the stick handles.
Some of the puzzles are easy, and some are really hard. I had to resort to a walkthrough in a few places ... not something you'd expect to do with a Tiny Toon Adventures game. Thankfully the environment (the school [aka Looniversity]) isn't as large as the RE environments, so when you have to do some backtracking, you're not going from one end of the world to the other.
The gameplay definitely surprised me when I first loaded up the game. I bought it expecting a traditional platformer like most of the other Tiny Toon games from the past (most notably the ones from Konami). It was very refreshing to play a different style of game with the Tiny Toons characters.
The story, which is loosely based on the episode "A Ditch In Time" (available on the Season 1, Volume 1 DVD set), involves you finding parts for a time machine so that Plucky can travel back in time to do the homework he didn't do. Unfortunately that's the only element of the episode which was carried over into the game, which is why the game is so darn short. If you've seen the episode, you know the ending. If you haven't seen the episode, you can probably guess the ending. Sadly, the ending isn't very spectacular (I've seen better endings on old NES games). You will undoubtedly be very disappointed once you see it.
The familiar Tiny Toons theme is present (in instrumental form, of course), and the background music during the game is quite fitting and cartoony. However, that's all there is (save for a few odd sound effects). There is absolutely no character voices whatsoever! Couldn't they shell out a few bucks to have the original voice cast come in and record a few lines? The lack of character voices isn't too bad for Plucky, Hampton, Babs, and Buster; but when you have to constantly have to press X to scroll through Elmyra and Montana Max's dialogue every time you encounter them, it gets to be downright annoying. The only bright side is that by having the game pause for you to press X, you'll have ample time to decide where to go to avoid Elmyra & Montana Max. (Having voices, instead of the game pausing, would have increased the danger!)
The game looks as good as you'd expect for a 3-D Playstation 1 game. The character graphics are, of course, not the best in the world, but they suffice quite nicely. It's a few steps above the character graphics and animation in Scooby-Doo And The Cyber Chase for the Playstation 1 (the beginning cut scene in Scooby-Doo is unintentionally funny).
This is where the game fails BIG TIME! Once you've beaten the game, there is nothing left to do. There is no reason whatsoever to replay it (unless you want to "relive the experience" all over again). The Resident Evil games gave you alternate clothing and a bonus mini-game. This game gives you zip.
I picked this game out from the $10 bargain bin at Target. I chose it because it was a Tiny Toons game. I always liked the tv show and the previous games, so I figured that this would be a nice addition to my collection. Had I known what type of game it was and how short it was, I never would have picked it out. I don't hate it, but since it has no replayability, I doubt that I'll ever play it again.
Whether you like "hunt and gather" puzzle games or Tiny Toon Adventures, I don't see any reason why you'd want to do more than rent it.

Managing contractors is one of the most challenging areas of general health and safety management; it is an area with a lot of scope for things to go wrong, leading to failures that frequently feature in health and safety prosecutions. Taking control of contract work and fulfilling your legal obligations can seem like a daunting task – not only are there practical issues like selecting the right contractor and communicating effectively with them, but there are several legal responsibilities which, if not met, can land you in hot water.
To help you avoid problems and pitfalls, we've developed this popular one-day training course that offers practical advice based on guidance from the UK's Health and Safety Regulator, the HSE. The programme allows you to assess your organisation's current arrangements and to compare them with best practice, leading to the development of an action plan for improvement. You will discuss the legal position on contractors before considering how to select a competent contractor and monitor them to ensure that the chances of costly incidents are reduced.
'Managing contractors' is built around current guidance from the HSE. The course will help you to ensure the safety of your staff and others when contractors are working on your premises. 'Managing contractors' is presented by a Chartered Safety Practitioner with significant experience of practical safety management and is highly regarded by all clients.
Failure to appoint competent, safe contractors may lead to serious incidents. These can cost your organisation a great deal of time and money. Having an effective contractor management system helps to avoid these losses. Effective contractor management helps to ensure that tasks are completed on time, on budget and with minimal disruption.
The chances are that our trainer will have faced similar contractor management issues to those you currently face, so can share their thoughts and experience to help you to work out a solution. This will help make the workplace safe for all concerned.
Typical problems faced by organisations include:
- how to select contractors to ensure safety
- how to verify a contractor's health and safety record
- how to monitor contractors' safety, and
- how to be sure that enough has been done to appoint competent and safe contractors.
Delegates will receive sensible, pragmatic advice on the above. Discussion of your current contractor management issues is encouraged.

I've touched on this already – that solitude is a big part of the American Road Myth, so forgive me if this repeats some of what has been said before by me and by you. In part one, I described the road as a path to personal wholeness, or the myth of wholeness, at least. Implicitly, those on the road will never know that wholeness. The road is a place for the unwhole. They just keep moving. They are the drifters.
The road myth is all about the drifters; they are the frame that the myth is hung upon. People with no place. They go everywhere and belong nowhere. The heroes of American legend are drifters. The road has shaped our heroes and our old heroes did much to build the road myth itself.
It's the classic story – a stranger comes to a troubled town. He knows no one, owes nothing to anyone, and has nothing to lose. He understands evil, though. He knows how it works and he knows what to do about it. His separateness from the rest of the people gives him a power they don't have, a mythical energy that comes from strength of character and moral certainty. At least, that's what the townsfolk see. We know that any American hero has demons as well, ghosts that drive him mad even as they give him strength. It is the evil he fights within himself that gives him power over the evil he meets. The road looks like the path to escape the demons, bit it isn't. The road is where the demons live.
At the end of every story, the hero is presented with a choice – stay in town, put the demons to rest, settle down with the prettiest girl, or return to the road. Return to a life of haunted solitude. The choice is always the same. (Although there is the occasional story where they have to shoot the girl to get him back on the road). Big trouble in Little China did it best: "Aren't you even going to kiss her?" "Nah."
Many countries have adopted our loner-hero character, and the Australians may have improved upon it, but it is still a peculiarly American myth. A hero in a story is only allowed to have a social life if an equally prominent character demonstrably does not. Bad guys are surrounded by people, Good guys go home to empty apartments with chinese takeout cartons overflowing the trash can. They have no furniture but a lazy-boy and a small TV on a milk crate with a coathanger for an antenna. They like it that way. Jackie Chan has a family to nag him, Nick Nolte probably never even had a mother.
I have certainly embraced the idea of the hero as a loner in my writing. The main character in The Monster Within is about the most solitary person I've even seen written down at the start of the story. The Fish, while still in its infancy, is a story directly about the search for solitude. By disconnecting from the world, the narrator is able to see the nature of ordinary things through many different layers, and hear the stories going on around us all the time.
Which brings me back to the drifter. When he finds a new place, he sees the things that everyone who lives there has learned not to see. He sees the truth. His power is to show the truth to others. He may be the best with a gun, or perhaps Kung Fu, but his real weapon is truth. It is why the town appreciates him so much, and why they don't try too hard to make him stay. Too much truth, all the time, would be scary. It's better for everyone if he just… vanishes. As if he never was.
He shows them the truth and makes them free, but he never shares the truth about himself. That is for the drifter and his demons alone.

Forthcoming events:
21 January 2020 - A Cinema City screening of 'Memoirs of a Survivor' Time: 15:00-17:30
Venue: Cinema City, St Andrew's Street, Norwich. Cost: £3 Tickets:https://store.uea.ac.uk/product-catalogue/faculty-of-arts-and-humanities/doris-lessing-100-memoirs-of-a-survivor-screening/doris-lessing-100-memoirs-of-a-survivor-screening-at-cinema-city
UEA is pleased to present a rare screening of the 1981 dystopian classic at Cinema City in Norwich, with an introduction by UEA lecturer Iain Robinson.
The film will be preceded by footage from the East Anglian Film Archive, of Rouen Road being transformed into a post-apocalyptic landscape for the making of the movie.
Set in Britain at an unspecified point in the near-future, Memoirs of a Survivortells the story of 'D', a housewife trying to carry on after a cataclysmic war that has left society in a state of collapse. Rubbish is piled high in the streets among near-derelict buildings covered with graffiti; the electricity supply is variable, and water is now collected from a van. 'D' spends her time examining her relations with authority, with the marauding gangs of brutalised children who roam the streets, and with Emily, the traumatised, orphaned teenager who is delivered into her care.
The movie stars Julie Christie as 'D', Christopher Guard and Leonie Mellinger, with a cameo role from Nigel Hawthorne. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival in 1981.
The original Lessing novel, The Memoirs of a Survivor, was first published in 1974.
Iain Robinson is a lecturer in the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing at UEA. He convenes the module Imaginary Endings: British Fiction and the Apocalypse.
Please note this film has an 18 certificate.

The Drama Queens are the award-winning drag theatre company and they are back in a new home, at Pulse, and with a new show at the end of the month, Theatre of Queer'lesque. We had a chat with co-founder Spike Rhodes and long time member Daniel O'Donnell, aka Morag McDuff, to get a bit of history and find out about the new home and show.
Hi Spike and Daniel, can you give us a brief history of The Drama Queens?
Daniel: The Drama Queens was founded in 2009 by Spike and Titti La Camp to fill the void after acts had competed in Drag Idol to further their experience and career in drag work.
Spike: We started at the Black Cap and we wanted to create a kind of 'drag stage academy', open to everyone who wanted to learn and develop both stage and drag skills, whilst working alongside professional artists, some of whom had performed with Lily Savage, Regina Fong, David Dale, Adrella, Lee Paris and many more. The company produces four or more full scale productions each year has an open door entry policy with casting workshops for each show.
You have been away for a while, but now you're back at a new home, Pulse – how did that happen?
Spike: After having to leave the Black Cap we were 'adopted' by big hearted Jimmy Smith and relocated to the Two Brewers. It was a 'temporary stay' which turned into three wonderful award-winning years for the Drama Queens, which we're very grateful for. With the closing of venues it was hard to find a new permanent base for the company but I approached Mark and James at XXL who were very enthusiastic about the idea of housing a drag theatre company at Pulse. It's all been a bit of a whirlwind over the last few weeks, with the company getting used to such an incredible space, with an LED wall for back projections, a fantastic lighting rig with own tech operator, plus a huge stage. We couldn't have wished for more and we are very grateful to Mark, James and all the Pulse crew for their wonderful support.
Daniel: The Drama Queens are going XXL and we really mean it. It is one of the largest spaces we have ever performed in and we are all really excited to show the world how we can bring bigger shows in a bigger venue.
You are working on your new show now – how are rehearsals going?
Spike: Fun as always and quite challenging as we get used to the wonderful space and work to maximise the facilities on offer. The aim is to raise the production value of the show beyond anything we've ever done before. Mrs Moore and Tanya Hyde, my co-directors, and I are like kids in a candy store. We are really excited and can't wait to throw open the doors to show off our new home.
Daniel: We have a new, sparkling cast to work with and some familiar faces everyone knows and loves. The mixture will be a breath of fresh air for the upcoming debut show.
What can you tell us about the show?
Spike: Theatre of Queer'lesque is an uplifting tribute to some of the heroes and legends of our LGBTQI history. It's a show about a repertory theatre company with drag artists set in a theatre due to be demolished. Before the bulldozers roll the theatre's queer ghosts reunite to perform once more. There's a Bloolips styled band, we mix alternative and old school drag styles in with club freaks and queer legends, with a few musical creations of key moments from 50 years of our fight for equality. Plus in act two we will premiere the first part of my musical version of Quentin Crisp's life story. It's something I've wanted to write for some time – I actually wrote to the man himself asking for his blessings, back in the day.
Daniel: Queerl'esque celebrates everything LGBT in this year of the anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality 50 years ago. Lots of laughs and tears to be expected.
What are your plans for The Drama Queens after this show?
Daniel: Going forward we have a Halloween show planned and a panto in the pipeline. Next year we plan to surprise and delight our fans with a great new programme of shows at our new fantastic venue.

ADAM LLOYD SHEPARD, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.
Adam Lloyd Shepard appeals following his convictions of manslaughter with a weapon and leaving the scene of a crash involving death. We address two issues raised by Appellant and affirm the remaining issues without comment. Appellant first challenges the reclassification of his manslaughter conviction from a second-degree felony to a first-degree felony based on his use of a "weapon," when the "weapon" was an automobile. The second issue is whether the trial court improperly considered Appellant's lack of remorse while sentencing him. We affirm Appellant's manslaughter conviction, acknowledging and certifying conflict with the Second District Court of Appeal's definition of a "weapon" as to section 775.087(1), Florida Statutes. We agree with Appellant's argument that the trial court improperly considered Appellant's lack of remorse while sentencing him, vacate his sentence, and remand with instructions that Appellant be resentenced on both of his convictions before a different judge.
On January 22, 2011, Appellant was drinking and watching a basketball game at a bar with the victim. Appellant and the victim got into a tussle at the bar, after which Appellant was escorted out of the bar by staff. The victim, who was still at the bar, began receiving phone calls from Appellant and ultimately the victim answered one phone call before leaving the bar.
A witness at trial, who had been at the bar that evening and had been invited by the victim to his apartment to meet his girlfriend, testified that she saw a white vehicle (later confirmed to be Appellant's) parked in the rear of a shopping center across the street from the entrance of the victim's apartment complex. The witness said that the white car flashed its lights. The victim pulled into the parking lot, exited his car, and rushed toward the white automobile while pulling off his jacket. The white automobile advanced towards the victim and struck him. Appellant left the parking lot and was apprehended two weeks later in Chicago. The victim sustained head injuries and ultimately succumbed to those injuries the following day.
A jury found Appellant guilty of one count of manslaughter with a weapon and one count of leaving the scene of a crash involving a death. Appellant's Criminal Punishment Code Scoresheet indicated 147.3 months as the lowest permissible prison sentence, with the maximum sentence on each count being thirty years. During sentencing the court noted that it was clear that Appellant had "no remorse or acceptance of responsibility in the two weeks after" the incident, and that items found on Appellant when he was apprehended in Chicago indicated an intent to continue to evade arrest and demonstrated that Appellant had "no acceptance of responsibility and no remorse." Additionally, the court, referring to a letter submitted by Appellant for consideration during sentencing, stated, "[If Appellant] is suggesting he was not aware that he struck [the victim] the jury rejected that finding and so do I, and to the extent that he is suggesting that this was an accident that he learned of later I reject that as well and those statements are of great concern to the Court." Appellant was sentenced to thirty years on the manslaughter count and fifteen years on the leaving the scene of a crash count. The sentences were imposed to run consecutively for a total of a forty-five years.
Questions of statutory interpretation are subject to de novo review. State v. Burris, 875 So. 2d 408, 410 (Fla. 2004).
The reclassification statute, section 775.087(1), Florida Statutes, enhances the degree of a felony to a degree greater when during the commission of the felony the defendant "carries, displays, uses, threatens to use, or attempts to use any weapon or firearm." The statute does not provide a definition of "weapon." See State v. Houck, 652 So. 2d 359, 360 (Fla. 1995). Without a statutory definition of the word "weapon," courts must turn to the "common or ordinary meaning of the word." Id.
Appellee argues that an automobile, when used in the manner Appellant used it, constitutes a weapon in the common and ordinary meaning of the word. We agree with this "use" argument.
Recently, the Second District Court of Appeal concluded that an automobile was not a weapon under section 775.087(1). Gonzalez v. State, 197 So. 3d 84, 86 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016). In Gonzalez, the appellant was convicted of manslaughter and failing to stop or remain at the scene of a crash resulting in death. 197 So. 3d at 84. The victim left the bar with the appellant the night before she was found sitting in the road barely alive. Id. The evidence demonstrated that the victim had been hit by the appellant's car once while it was moving forward slowly and then again as he backed over her. Id. On appeal, the appellant argued that the reclassification of the second-degree manslaughter conviction to a first-degree felony was error. Id. at 85. Our sister court agreed and held that an automobile is not a weapon under section 775.087(1). Id. at 86. The Second District concluded the case was controlled by the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Houck. Gonzalez, 197 So. 3d at 85. We agree that our case is controlled by Houck, but disagree with the Gonzalez court's interpretation of the definition of a weapon.
In Houck, the Florida Supreme Court approved the Fifth District's en banc decision concluding that "it is for the court to determine whether what is used in the commission of a felony is a weapon within the meaning of the [reclassification] statute." 652 So. 2d at 360 (emphasis added). In Houck, the supreme court looked to the dictionary to provide the common definition of weapon: "[a]n instrument of attack or defense in combat, as a gun or sword ․ [or][a] means used to defend against or defeat another." Id. We conclude that an automobile falls within the second definition of a weapon as a "means used to defend against or defeat another." Id. (emphasis added).
The Gonzalez court found the following language in State v. Burris to be significant: "Like the pavement used by the offender in Houck, an automobile is not commonly understood to be an instrument for combat against another person. Though certainly capable of inflicting death or injury, as with the pavement in Houck, the ordinary purpose of automobiles is not as instruments for combat." Gonzalez, 197 So. 3d at 85-86 (quoting Burris, 875 So. 2d at 413 (Fla. 2004)).
We disagree with the Second District's conclusion that the "ordinary purpose" is dispositive. The Second District's holding in Gonzalez is not unreasonable based on its reliance of the quote from Burris. However, we note that the question before the Burris court was expressly limited to whether an automobile could be "carried" "as a deadly weapon under section 812.13(2)(a) of the robbery statute" to allow an enhanced conviction. Burris, 875 So. 2d at 410. In dicta, the supreme court in providing a comparison to an automobile being "carried" discussed the pavement in Houck. Unlike the statute at issue in Burris, which enhances a robbery conviction when a deadly weapon is "carried," section 775.087(1), Florida Statutes, states that "whenever a person is charged with a felony ․ and during the commission of such felony the defendant carries, displays, uses, threatens to use, or attempts to use any weapon or firearm ․ the felony for which the person is charged shall be reclassified." (emphasis added).
We are applying the common definition of a weapon as Houck requires. Many objects commonly understood to be weapons, such as kitchen knives or baseball bats, would not be classified as weapons under the Gonzalez court's approach because their ordinary purpose is not for combat. Gonzalez, 197 So. 3d at 85-86. We find there is a distinct difference between an immobile object, such as the pavement in Houck, and a movable object, such as the car used by Appellant.
We accordingly affirm Appellant's conviction and certify conflict with Gonzalez v. State, 197 So. 3d 85 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016).
Lack of Remorse
The parties agree that this issue was not properly preserved below.
Unpreserved arguments in the sentencing process are reviewed for fundamental error. Jackson v. State, 983 So. 2d 562, 574 (Fla. 2008). This Court has held that fundamental error occurs when a trial court bases a sentence on impermissible grounds. Dumas v. State, 134 So. 3d 1048, 1048 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013). "Although an appellate court generally may not review a sentence that is within statutory limits under the Criminal Punishment Code, an exception exists, when the trial court considers constitutionally impermissible factors in imposing a sentence." Nawaz v. State, 28 So. 3d 122, 124 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010).
This Court has stated, "A lack of remorse or failure to accept responsibility may not be considered by the trial court when fashioning an appropriate sentence." Dumas, 134 So. 3d at 1048; see also K.Y.L. v. State, 685 So. 2d 1380 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997) ("[L]ack of contrition or remorse is a constitutionally impermissible consideration in imposing sentence."), disapproved on other grounds, State v. J.P.C., 731 So. 2d 1255 (Fla. 1999). While remorse and an admission of guilt may be grounds for mitigation of a sentence, the lack of these factors cannot be used to increase a defendant's sentence and such reliance violates the defendant's due process rights. Ritter v. State, 885 So. 2d 413, 414 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004).
Because we agree with Appellant that the court should not have considered his lack of remorse when sentencing him, we reverse Appellant's sentence and remand for resentencing on both counts before a different judge. See Dumas, 134 So. 3d at 1049; Ritter, 885 So. 2d at 415.

Canon Edward Argyle of the Anglican Church of St John the Evangelist has been remembered for his compassion and joy after dying unexpectedly last Thursday.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Known to many by his first name, Father Ed served in Bunbury and Williams before undertaking his role as Albany's Parish Priest in 2011.
He became an integral part of the community during his time in Albany, said Kevin Prince, a warden at St John's.
"He has been a tremendous missioner to people who have been in distress, particularly around bereavements and things of that nature.
"But also he so enjoyed doing weddings and baptisms. He could be joyful with people's joy."
Reviving the Anzac Day pilgrimage
The Anglican Church of St John the Evangelist is Western Australia's oldest consecrated church, famed for conducting the first recorded Anzac Day dawn service in 1930.
Farther Ed held the tradition close to heart, said Mr Prince.
"Ed re-enacted, restarted the whole exercise of a dawn church service on Anzac Day with a pilgrimage up to the top of the hill [Mount Clarence] and we've been doing that now for a couple of years.
"He saw it as something that connected the present day to the past in a very useful way."
A lifelong Dockers supporter, Father Ed is survived by his wife, Judith, and five children.
Mr Prince says the sixty-year-old will be remembered for his spirituality and connection to community.
"A charming man of great sympathy and terrific spirituality."
"I thought he was one of the most remarkable people I've known," said Mr Prince.

Valley Vivaldi, the popular summer chamber music series presented by musicians from the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra, begins Sunday, June 10, at Christ Lutheran Church in Allentown. The four-concert series showcases spirited chamber music by 17th and 18th century composers, and always includes works by that most popular composer of the day, Antonio Vivaldi.
The series always offers a summer feast of variety, not only in the range of works performed, but also in the various combinations of instruments, which can range from three or four to as many as 10 players. Sunday's program features works by Vivaldi, Fasch, Bach, and Gallo.
It is more than likely that Vivaldi's earliest concertos for wind instruments were those he composed for the oboe. He wrote more than 20, one of the most popular being the A Minor concerto, RV 461. It is in the standard Italian Baroque fast/slow/fast style, and is especially notable for the unusually long oboe solos in the opening allegro and the relatively short ritornello played by the strings. The final allegro is especially entertaining, with the oboe and strings playing off one another. PA Sinfonia principal oboist Cheryl Bishkoff is the soloist.
Two pieces on the program feature the engaging combination of recorder, oboe and bassoon. Joining Bishkoff in the Sonata in B flat major by Johann Friedrich Fasch and Vivaldi's Chamber Concerto in F Major are Rainer Beckmann, recorder and Sinfonia principal bassoon Susan Shaw. The three soloists are augmented by the cello in the Fasch concerto and by violin and harpsichord in the Vivaldi.
Beckman, a native of Germany, is a frequent soloist in Valley Vivaldi. He performs with early music ensembles throughout the Philadelphia area, including the Bucks County-based group La Fiocco. He is a member of La Bernardinia Baroque Ensemble and Vox Renaissance Consort, and has been a featured guest musician with Melomanie and the Bach Choir of Bethlehem. Beckmann also teaches recorder at the Pennsylvania Academy of Music, and directs the school's early music program.
Domenico Gallo was an 18th century Italian composer and violinist who achieved his renown, unfortunately, by having a set of 12 trio sonatas wrongly ascribed to Giovani Pergolesi. Most, if not all the pieces were in fact Gallo's, and even Stravinsky, who borrowed them for his ballet "Pulcinella," incorrectly cited Pergolesi as the source.
Gallo wrote numerous sonatas and symphonies, as well as music for the church. Sunday's concert includes his Trio Sonata in G Major, this time correctly attributed to Gallo himself.
J.S. Bach's melodically and harmonically rich 6-part Ricercar from the Musical Offering is considered by many to be his greatest fugue. Essentially a keyboard work, its theme is noble, with a depth of expression he rarely surpassed. It has been arranged for numerous other instruments and ensembles, and should sound lovely performed by the Valley Vivaldi musicians.
In addition to the soloists, musicians include Mary Ogletree and Rebecca Brown, violin; Agnès Maurer, viola; Elizabeth Mendoza, cello; Stephen Groat, bass; and Allan Birney, harpsichord.
A reception with refreshments follows the concert.
Upcoming concerts take place 7 p.m. July 8, also at Christ Lutheran Church, and 7 p.m. July 29 and Aug. 19 at Wesley Church, 2540 Center St., Bethlehem.
Valley Vivaldi, 7 p.m. Sunday, June 10, Christ Lutheran Church, 1245 W. Hamilton St., Allentown. Tickets: $35, $25 adults; $30, $20 seniors over 62; free, students through college age. 610-434-7811, www.pasinfonia.org.
Allentown Bach at Noon begins
The fourth summer of Bach's music in Allentown begins Tuesday, June 12, with the first of three free Bach at Noon performances by the Bach Choir of Bethlehem at St. John's Lutheran Church in downtown Allentown. In collaboration with the Arts at St. John's series, the Bach at Noon program is presented on the second Tuesday of the month in June, July and August.
The concerts follow the standard Bach at Noon format of a 50-minute program that includes one choral and one instrumental work. The concert will feature J.S. Bach's Cantata 74, "Wer mich liebet," and the Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 547, with Bach Choir conductor and artistic director Greg Funfgeld on organ.
Numerology fans should have a ball with Cantata 74. Bach frequently converted the titles of his works to numbers by assigning a numerical value to each letter of the then 24-letter German alphabet. In this case, the entire title, "Wer mich liebet, der wird mein Wort halten," adds up to 244, the exact number of measures in the first movement. The number 3 also plays a significant role in the work, as a reference to the Holy Trinity.
Featured soloists are Julie Bosworth, soprano; Laura Atkinson, mezzo-soprano; Charles Blandy, tenor, and Christòpheren Nomura, baritone.
The unusual 9/8 meter of the prelude in Bach's BWV 547 allows the organist to cover the range of an octave while playing 10 notes. The engaging, pastoral atmosphere of the prelude is followed by a highly concentrated, 72-measure fugue. This might be tricky business for the listener to follow. Due to the fact that Bach uses the last note of the single-measure subject as an active part in the fugue's harmonic development, each re-appearance of the subject is not necessarily a return to familiar territory.
Both works will be introduced by Funfgeld with an engaging talk.
Doors open at 11:30 a.m.; come early to be sure of a seat. Parking is available in the parking deck at Sixth and Walnut streets. Upcoming Bach at Noon in Allentown concerts are on July 10 and Aug. 14, all at St. John's Lutheran Church.
Bach at Noon, 12:10 p.m. Tuesday, June 12, St. John's Lutheran Church, 37 S. Fifth St., Allentown. Free-will offering. 610-866-4382, www.bach.org.
American Classical Orchestra
Considered by many as the foremost early music ensemble in New York City, the American Classical Orchestra comes to East Stroudsburg University Saturday, June 9, for a program of concertos by Vivaldi, Bach and Handel. Presented by the L'Archet Concert Group, the concert features violin soloist Stephanie Chase, praised by the New York Times for "performing dazzlingly."
It's a program sure to delight lovers of Baroque orchestral fare. Works include Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins and J.S. Bach's A Minor Violin Concerto and Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, in addition to Handel's Concerto Grosso in B Flat Major and a sonata by George Muffat. The orchestra will be led by Thomas Crawford.
Bach's A Minor Violin Concerto places heavy demands on the soloist, from its heroically tragic opening allegro to the vivacious strains of the gigue in the finale. The second movement is cast in a wonderfully lyrical style much like opera, where the soloist plays a touching melody as counterpoint and commentary on the orchestral background.
Chase is as equally at home with Bach as she is with larger works for violin and orchestra. Renowned for her impeccable intonation, she's made solo appearances with more than 170 orchestras worldwide, including the New York and Hong Kong Philharmonics and the Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta and London Symphony orchestras. She was a top medalist of the prestigious Seventh International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow and is a recipient of the esteemed Avery Fisher Career Grant.
Chase shares soloist responsibilities with violinist Krista Bennion Feeney in Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043. Also known as the Double Violin Concerto, it is perhaps one of Bach's most famous works. Much of its fame undoubtedly comes from the sublimely lyrical Largo, with its solo lines that seem to caress one another as they overlap and intertwine. On either side of this blissful movement, Bach displays his usual mastery of contrapuntal style, with the soloists alternately imitating and repeating each other.
Latest Entertainment
American Classical Orchestra with violinist Stephanie Chase, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 9, Cecilia S. Cohen Hall, East Stroudsburg University. Tickets: $25; $20 seniors; free, students. 917-716-9245, www.larchetconcertgroup.com.

University, 8-0, and versus Elms (Mass.) College, 11-3.
At the plate, the Yellow Jacket offense tacked on one run in the first inning when junior shortstop Eric Murphy (Brook Park/Midpark) delivered a single to left center field, driving home junior All-Ohio Athletic Conference first baseman Kyle Chontos (Pickerington/North). But the BW offense only scored one more run the rest of the game, which would come in the eighth inning on an error by senior shortstop Cody Pace of the Red Hawks, on a total of two hits and one walk.
On the mound, sophomore right-hander Tom Loeffler (Shaker Heights) pitched the first four innings, delivering four strikeouts, but allowed three earned runs on five hits. In relief, senior right-hander Jon Capadona (North Royalton) helped keep the Yellow Jackets within reach of the Red Hawks for the rest of the game, providing four innings of work by allowing only one earned run on one hit, three strikeouts, and no walks.
BW is back in action on Wednessday, March 12 when they take on South Dakota State University at 10:00 a.m. Fans can watch all of the action weather permitting via live stats at http://livestats.prestosports.com/baldwinwallace/.

Alain Traoré returned to the competition after a long injury incurred in the thigh during the Afcon.
It is tonight against Lille. But the Player of Burkina Faso and Lorient tended to stop everything!
"It came to my mind to quit football. Frankly, if I get hurt every season between three and four months, it's good, I'd rather do something else. I start having enough! All these injuries cut me in my tracks. (…) I'm starting to think that I'm cursed! (…) I hope that this curse will let me go. Because if this continues, it will ruin my career. "

THE PRODIGY singer Keith Flint died as a result of hanging, it has been revealed. He was found dead on March 4 at his home in Essex, a county in the southeast of England, northeast of London.
Band mate Liam Howlett said on Instagram at the time that Flint, 49, had committed suicide. The provisional cause of death has now been reported as hanging, with toxicology reports to follow.
A postmortem was carried out on Flint's body last Thursday. The coroner's officer, Lynsey Chaffe, said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding Flint's death. "Police attended, all protocols were followed and his death was confirmed as not suspicious," she said.
Following the minutes-long hearing, the inquest was adjourned until late July. Flint had taken part in a 5-kilometer Park Run just days before his death, recording a personal best time of just over 21 minutes.
THE PRODIGY was scheduled to embark on a U.S. tour in May. The 10-date trek was slated to include appearances at several festivals, including Sonic Temple in Ohio and Welcome To Rockville in Florida.
In a tweet, the band expressed "deepest shock" and "sadness" at the singer's passing, and a few days later announced it would be cancelling all upcoming shows "with immediate effect".

New Electric is looking for partners to make the world more electric. We are looking for partners to develop conversion kits for different applications. You provide the customers, the vehicles and the service, we provide the drive-train and the electrical know-how. Please contact us to explore the possibilities.
We get many requests for the conversion of vehicles. Because we have to develop a drive train for each make and model the development cost makes it very expensive.
We are looking to partner with brand specific workshops that know their customers and their cars to develop kits that can be sold in higher volumes and reduce the cost.
Agricultural vehicles are ideal for conversion to electric because of the need for high power at low speeds and the large initial investment. Whether its a tractor, a harvester or otherwise, electric conversion can improve performance and lower operating costs.
New Electric has all the equipment and knowledge to develop a power wall battery storage unit to provide extra power at peak demands. Power walls can greatly reduce electricity costs and lower the dependence on the regular power grid.
New Electric is looking to partners with businesses which have high peak power demands. We would optimize our power wall for your needs and raise subsidies to partly finance the project. If you would like to partner with New Electric, please contact us.
New Electric is very proud to be partners with some of the leading businesses in conversions to electric. Please check out the websites of our product and project partners for more information on how they are working towards a better, greener future.

Blue Pine: One of my favorite materials is blue pine. The blue in the wood is actually from the mountain beetle that lives in the tree and releases a fungus that kills the tree where it stands. The trees are harvested for wildfire suppression and built into something new and beautiful for your home.
Hardwood or Softwood: Since softwoods have large grain they and can be cut apart more easily. Thus bacteria seeping inside and causing food borne illnesses. A hardwood cutting board will have smaller grain and not split as easily keeping you safer from pathogens. Even fruits and veggies can harbor bacteria, remember to wash your cutting board after every use to keep you safe!
Reclaimed Lumber: Our Essential Oils Holders are all made from locally sourced reclaimed lumber. We prefer this method of turning something old and dying into something new and beautiful. A little sanding and some fresh finish gives these trees new life all over again.

Benefits of Solar Energy: Diverse Applications (Part 2)
The Amazing Benefits of Solar Energy
With countless gadgets and technologies that can leverage solar power in the modern world, it is important to learn the benefits of solar energy and its diverse uses. My previous post about the diverse uses of solar energy offers an in-depth discussion of how this form of energy could be used at homes, holiday properties, and central power stations. Here are other applications of solar energy.
Solar water heating systems
In a home or business, hot water systems for kitchens, space heating, and bathrooms are nearly universal. What most people don't know is that they can leverage solar power to get enough hot water in their homes and commercial buildings. Property owners can user thermal panels along with storage tanks to store the hot water. When needed, this water can circulate to a heater, shower or sink.
The modern 'in floor' heating systems and the traditional baseboard heating systems offer solar heat as the pre-heater to a traditional hot water tank or furnace. This will serve as the backup to your solar thermal system.
Industrial applications
One of the common benefits of solar energy is the diverse industrial applications associated with it. For decades, solar energy has been the primary power supply of choice for many industrial applications, especially where power is needed in a remote area. In these applications, solar energy is cost-effective. This is because many individual uses need just a few kilowatts of electric power.
Solar energy is also used on transportation signalings such as lighthouses, offshore navigation buoys, road traffic warning signals, and aircraft warning lights. It is also used to power environmental or situation monitoring tools and even corrosion protection systems for well-heads, bridges, pipelines, and more. For huge electrical loads, it is cost-effective to configure the hybrid power system and link to a PV with a sizeable diesel generator.
The benefits of solar energy here include the reliability and minimal maintenance needed. That makes this form of energy ideal in regions that are hard to get to.
Lighting, water pumping, and heating in the developing world
In addition to off-grid properties, remote buildings such as clinics, schools, and community halls can benefit from solar power. It can power telephones, different pieces of refrigeration equipment, TV, and more. WHO (World Health Organization) requires every clinic to have these devices. Rather than having a base solar power generator for each dwelling, it is possible to configure a central power plant. The plant power homes through a local wired network. It can also serve as a battery charging station where the member of the entire community can charge their batteries here.
Commercial buildings
On a commercial building, atria can be effectively covered with PV modules. These modules are semi-transparent to offer shaded light. In factories, the large roof areas offer a perfect location for solar modules. Besides, the vertical walls of commercial buildings can offer opportunities for PV incorporation.
Whether it is charging a wireless speaker or powering a renewable, the list of uses and benefits of solar energy is endless.

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a partially penetrant oligogenic birth defect that occurs when enteric nervous system (ENS) precursors fail to colonize the distal bowel during early pregnancy. Genetic defects underlie HSCR, but much of the variability in the occurrence and severity of the birth defect remain unexplained. We hypothesized that nongenetic factors might contribute to disease development. Here we found that mycophenolate, an inhibitor of de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis, and 8 other drugs identified in a zebrafish screen impaired ENS development. In mice, mycophenolate treatment selectively impaired ENS precursor proliferation, delayed precursor migration, and induced bowel aganglionosis. In 2 different mouse models of HSCR, addition of mycophenolate increased the penetrance and severity of Hirschsprung-like pathology. Mycophenolate treatment also reduced ENS precursor migration as well as lamellipodia formation, proliferation, and survival in cultured enteric neural crest–derived cells.

How some house prices in East London have DOUBLED since 2012… more than three times faster than the UK average
Average house prices have shot up in 14 areas close to London's Olympic Park, since the capital hosted the 2012 Games
HOUSE prices in East London have doubled since 2012 - more than three times faster than the UK average, new research shows.
The property value of 14 areas closest to the Olympic Park in Stratford have risen 64 per cent since the end of 2012 Games, according to Halifax's First-Time Buyer Review.
This is equivalent to a growth of a staggering £184,004 or a monthly rise of £4,279, during September 2012 to April 2017.
Walthamstow saw the fastest increase in five years - with average house prices shooting up from £238,348 to £479,421.
Five other East London areas have seen price rises of over £200,000 - they include Homerton, Clapton, Shoreditch, Dalston and Leyton.
Since September 2012, the average price in the capital has grown by 38 per cent to an average price of £584,190.
Nationally, property values grew on average by 19 per cent over the same period – from £234,985 to £280,148.
Since the capital won the bid to host the 2012 Games in 2005, areas closest to the London Stadium have recorded price growth in excess of £300,000.
The bid welcomed major regeneration to boost areas in the East End with large scale infrastructure investment in the existing tube networks and an international rail station - improving the way people to move around the capital.
Crossrail - which aims to better connect London with south-east England - has already created jobs in the area and has had a positive effect on local house prices.
This has benefited homeowners in these areas as well as increased interest from first-time buyers and investors alike.
Martin Ellis, Housing Economist at Halifax, said: "Not only has this area been reinvigorated as a community, but average property price growth in this part of East London has raced ahead of England, Wales and even Greater London as a result."
It comes as figures released last month showed the average deposit on first-time homes in London hit more than £100,000 last year.
A report by Halifax's First-Time Buyer Review revealed the average first-time deposit has doubled over the last decade, while London prices have quadrupled during the same time.
First-time buyers have been forced to consider new ways of getting onto the property ladder in recent years, with nearly one in four of them say it took them between five and ten years to save up enough for a house deposit.
Nearly half of first-time buyers now rely on cash from their parents to help them become homeowners – an alarming trend in Britain's spiralling housing crisis.
