CrankBrothers are perhaps the only company mad enough to have a downhill-wide carbon bar for cross-country.
Weighing 180g, this 780mm bar gives nine degrees of backsweep, five of upsweep and 15mm of rise to lure you low over the front end.
The width means great leverage and flex is fine for XC use, though all-mountain riders may be put off by that tag.
There are cut lines down to 700mm, but that just seems a bit sensible.

- Attendance: 21,288
- Three Stars: 1. Max Pacioretty 2. Paul Byron 3. Adam Larsson
Team Notes
- New Jersey is 20-16-5=45pts at the halfway point of the season; they were 14-20-7=35 through 41 games in 2014-15.
- The Devils are 3-3-1=7pts over their last seven road games and are 11-7-2=24pts away from Prudential Center overall.
- New Jersey finished its season series vs. Montreal 1-1-1=3pts.
- The Devils are now 8-3-3=19pts vs. the Atlantic Division this season, including 6-1-2=14pts on the road.
- New Jersey was 0/3 on the power play.
- The Devils allowed their sixth shorthanded goal of the season. Only Arizona (8) has allowed more.
- Montreal out shot New Jersey, 25-20.
Player Notes
- Cory Schneider (23 saves) made the start and goal and fell to 17-12-5 on the season. Despite the loss, he's now allowed two goals or less in 21 of his last 27 starts since Oct. 29; he's 13-10-4 with three shutouts, a 1.98 goals-against average & .931 save-percentage during that stretch.
- Schneider also stopped David Desharnais' second period penalty shot attempt. He's saved 4/4 penalty shots he's faced this season (also, Jonathan Huberdeau Dec. 6 vs. Florida, Radim Vrbata Nov. 22 at Vancouver & Patrick Marleau Oct. 16 vs. San Jose) and 12/14 in his career. Schneider's four PS faced ties New Jersey's single-season record (Johan Hedberg, 2011-12). George Hainsworth holds the NHL record, having faced six penalty shots for Toronto in 1934-35 (the first season for penalty shots in the NHL). -credit Elias Sports Bureau

I've been wanting to make a Thai-inspired curry cauliflower soup for a while now. Roasted cauliflower, cooked down in a rich yellow curry broth, then pureed until silky smooth…. it just sounds kind of great to me. But every time I suggested making it for the boyfriend, he wasn't excited. I guess I should have taken that as my clue that this soup wasn't going to be something that he would like.
That's okay, though. Every couple is allowed a few dishes where their tastebuds diverge, right?
Because after trying this soup, I really do think it's awesome! The cauliflower is a perfect mild base for the rich, creamy yellow curry broth. Just like in the regular Thai yellow curry, the curry powder stands out among the kaffir lime, galangal, and lemongrass in the paste, making it taste more like an Indian curry than the other Thai curries. And then there's the chili, which is there to provide just a hint of heat, but nothing more. Simmered in coconut milk and blended all together, this soup is the definition of "yummy" for me.
That said, the boyfriend stands by his lack of excitement about this dish. I think his reaction stems from the fact that he's not a particular fan of either cauliflower soup or Thai yellow curry on their own, so combined they still fall short. But if you're like me and are a fan of both of these, then you should definitely give this soup a try!
I'll certainly continue to make it, so I can enjoy it…. and all the leftovers :)
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1/2 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 T yellow curry paste
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- Cut cauliflower into medium-sized pieces and place in a baking dish. Drizzle with canola oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for ~30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, saute the chopped onion and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until they are soft.
- Add the curry paste and mix to incorporate. Then add the roasted cauliflower and do the same.
- Next add the chicken broth, water, and coconut milk and let everything simmer together until the cauliflower is completely soft (~15 minutes).
- Season with fish sauce and sugar as needed. This will depend on which curry paste you use, so taste and adjust accordingly.
- Let the soup cool enough to blend and then blend until smooth. Serve with a sprinkling of dried red chili flakes and green onion for garnish. Enjoy!

This book has been a labour of love for me and a trial of sorts as well. The topic of Andalus has been near and dear to my heart for the past few years not due to its intrinsic value as a crucial period in Islamic History, but rather as a prism that can be used to view the contemporary Islamic world and the battle currently underway between it and the forces of Kufr, (Unbelief). More importantly it can be used as a means of understanding what the significance is of actions committed against us by the Kuffaar, why they continue to occur and, most importantly, how to stop them and reassert Allāh's Shariah upon His Earth. In addition, before anyone has the opportunity to ponder, I have no pretensions of making this book one that is 'unbiased' when clearly the title itself betrays my bias, and therefore I won't try either.
However, as a slight shift from the usual fare of Islamic books on the topic of Andalus, I will not be writing about the glorious entry of Tariq Bin Ziyad through Gibraltar, Yusuf Bin Tashfin's destruction of the Kuffaar at Zalaqa, or even of notable advances in science and jurisprudence. Rather, I chose to cover a period that almost no Muslim Classical Scholar (pre-18th Century), seems to have covered in any detail including Imam Maqri who only devoted a few pages to it in his voluminous Al-Nafh Al Tib. In fact this topic has been almost the exclusive domain of Western Orientalists, to which they add their own interpretations, (save a handful of them). The under-covered topic in question is Andalus post-1492 (post-Reconquista). The work at hand is a combination between a source-book and a work of historical analysis in that, I realized, English speaking Muslims, (or for that matter, anybody English speaking), has a hard time coming across translations of primary sources and their sources in their original languages, and hence the Appendices are voliminous and could constitute a book, in and of, themselves. I have deliberately used sources that are easy to find and are available in electronic form on the internet so that if those curious enough want to delve further into this topic themselves and go further in this field than I have, would be able to. Some of the sources that I have translated from Arabic and Spanish have never been translated before and are for the first time available to English speaking Muslims. Remember, this is the history of the ummah, we should know it and take heed of its lessons lest we repeat our mistakes. Essentially, there should be no excuses any more for the brothers and sisters for laziness or lack of resources
The sources used in this study are almost exclusively from Western Scholars, (if not scholars, then individuals that are first hand witnesses), except for a few Muslim sources that have been translated by Western Orientalists during the 19th century or have been translated by myself. The reason for this arrangement is twofold:
1) As I stated previously, we lack Muslim primary sources on the topic, save for sparse coverage of events by Muslims historians at the time, therefore the reliance on western sources.
2) The advantage of using western sources, (especially Spanish Royal and Inquisitorial Records), is that the accounts of the behaviour of the Christians Spaniards upon the Muslims are illustrated with greater clarity and are believed easier by those, (Muslims and non-Muslims), who are sceptical of Muslim historiography and fact checking. The words of the kuffaar are a testament to their own crimes. Surprisingly, even through these accounts, the determination, the iman and the Islam of those Muslims that were left in Spain shines through and, InshaAllāh, they will be beneficial for this attempt re-owning this portion of Islamic History and to return it back to its rightful place.
For Muslims that are sceptical of the research sources, (since they are kaffir sources), I propose to them:
1) We have no other choice but to use them since we have nothing else to go on. To leave this history and to ignore it as if it never happened, is a crime that we would be committing and our ancestors have committed and have wronged the blood of the thousands of shuhada of those approximately one hundred and fifty years of Islamic History, (that were predominantly filled with profound sorrow).
2) I have taken the trouble to recheck sources against each other to check for discrepancies, (as much as I could), and to see if the account and interpretation of events match up with what is realistically[1] possible based on the ayah:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْماً بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ﴾[2
O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done.
Ibn Kathir (رحمه لله) States in his Tafsir regarding this Ayah:
Allāh the Exalted ordered investigating the news that sinners and the wicked bring, to make sure of its authenticity. Otherwise, if the sinner's word is taken for granted and a decision is based on it, regardless of whether the information is true or not, the authorities will be taking the lead of the sinners. Allāh the Exalted and Most Honored forbade taking the path of the corrupted and sinners. This is why groups of the scholars of Hadith refuse to accept narrations from narrators whose reliability is unknown, for they might be from among the wicked people, in reality.
So if that is the case with the Fasiq, what then of the kafir?! So I have chosen to use the research of the Ulema and righteous historians to validate the following history and if it is not mentioned by them or the non-Muslim accounts seem out of character and attribute something sinful upon Muslims, then it is noted as such. So it can be said the purpose of this Book is simply Ibra', (admonition or lesson/example), if nothing else.
In addition I would like to add I chose to not use the word 'moor' to describe Muslim or the adjective Moorish but instead Muslim, or Islamic respectively, due to the fact that the word 'moor' has been used as a result of the corruption of the word 'Muslim' by people of the Christian lands, (especially Italy and Spain). When it comes to the topic at hand of the Muslims that stayed/were left behind in Andalus after 1492, which were converted by force, I refer to the collective as Morisco's, (which in Spanish means 'Little Moor' or 'Little Muslim' as term of belittlement), for the sake of ease of understanding. However, i have repeatedly and painstakingly put the word 'Muslim' with in brackets to make sure that everyone understands that I speak of Muslims and so that it reinforces that definition for those that are new to this topic. As for those Muslims of Arghun, (Aragon), and Valencia that had submitted to the Spanish Crown of Castille not as Mudejar, but as Mudajjan (مدجن) which means 'domesticated' or 'tame,' (it is term of insult, and in this context it implies the humiliated status of those that willingly submitted to the Spanish Crown). This delineation ceased to exist after the mid 1500's.
Color coding has been used to indicate Ahadith, verses of the Quran, Tafsir of Ibn Kathir and the saying of scholars that Ibn Kathir mentions therein. As for the saying of the Sahaba, (companions of the Prophet صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم), they have been left in normal black font.
Furthermore, I have decided to use the Arabic transliteration of place names as far as possible, (i.e. Arghun instead of Aragon, Garnata instead of Granada and so on), while still opting to use the Christian dates for convenience. In addition, translations of sources are just that, and can not substitute for the source in its original source, so as a disclaimer, the reader should always consult the source text if available in the language of origin. Morever, I urge the reader to not look over the footnotes, as they are packed with vital information and facts that would aid in the understanding of this topic. With the limited time and the lack of proper resources at the current location, I ask the readers to forgive me for this works shortcomings. In advance, I give permission for all to copy the material in here for dissemination and if anyone has the ability and time, and are able to improve upon the content and or, make additions, (while attributing the work to myself), they have my permission to do so.
Finally, as these loose ends have been tied up, I ask Allāh for His mercy and guidance and to guard from that which is false and harmful, and to guide me towards the truth and that which is beneficial. With that, I begin with the Dua of Musa (عليه سلام):
قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِى صَدْرِى – وَيَسِّرْ لِى أَمْرِى – وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِى – يَفْقَهُواْ قَوْلِي
"(Moses) said: "O my Lord! expand me my breast;
"Ease my task for me;
"And remove the impediment from my speech,
"So they may understand what I say:" [3]
[1] By realistic I mean, I give Muslims the benefit of the doubt in the situation where the non-Muslim sources accuse them of un-Islamic actions, (strange acts such as where a mujahid who has fought for 3 years suddenly without provocation declared the he wished to die as a Christian). However, on facts that Muslims Scholars have commented on and confirmed, such as the music and singing of the people of Andalus, those things are agreed upon with the non-Muslim sources.
[2] Surah Hujarat, Verse 6
[3] Surah Taha, Verses 25-28

What stands out to you in this race schedule?
Rocky Road 100 February 18th
Modesto Marathon March 18th
100k World Championships Italy April 22nd
NorthCoast 24 Hour May5th/6th (U.S. National Championship)
Western States Endurance Run April 24th
Is it the big name recognition of Western States? Is it the once in a lifetime trip to Italy running in the 100k World Championships for Team USA? Or is it, "why is he running a 24 Hour race 13 days after traveling and running the 100k in Italy?"
That would be a very good question and I have a very good answer for that.... Prior to getting the invitation(four weeks before the race) I had planned and paid for my trip to run the 24 hour race in Cleveland. When I got the call to go to Italy I could not turn it down. That meant I was going to run these two grueling races 13 days apart...OUCH! I was telling anyone that would listen that the 24 Hour race would be the hardest race I had ever run and did it ever live up to it's billing...well...sort of:)
I board my plan in Oakland for Columbus, Ohio (three hour lay over in Los Angeles) on Thursday night. It was a red-eye. Finances dictated I take this flight and make up for the lack of sleep at the hotel Friday afternoon with a nap. I arrived into Columbus at 6:30am. After picking up the rental car and getting a quick bite to eat at The Waffle House, I went back to the airport to pick up Charles Wickersham, the sucker who signed on to be my crew. In all reality, Charles became my 24 hour secret weapon.
The day consisted of a two and a half hour drive to Cleveland where the race was located and the usual pre-race jog, nap, grocery stop, dinner stop, and pre-race brief among Charles and I. The race strategy was in place and the race materials were packed or laid out ready for the morning.
Charles was up 7 and out the door to reserve our coveted spot for our personal aid station. He set up the tent and chairs and put all the necessary items on ice in the ice chest. The plan was to use the tent to take naps, but no one ever slept and there was a good reason why. We'll get to that later.
I on the other hand was just waking up and after going through the normal pre-race routine was ready to go at 8:15 (9:00 start) when Charles got back to the hotel. Now, it was time to check in at race headquarters and get to the start line. The weather was cloudy and breezy and Heidi Cuniff (RD) was ready to send us on our one day journey.
The gun goes off and we are on our way. I wanted to spend the first hour or so feeling out a comfortable pace I could run the entire race. The mistake I made in 2007(S.F. One Day) in my first attempt to run 24 hours was to mix in walking throughout the race. I felt it made me stiff and later in the race made it difficult to run at all. This time I was going to run as long as I could without walking, so I needed to really dial in a pace I could maintain for 20 plus hours. The Rocky Road 100 was a good barometer for that. I maintained a pretty even pace in that race (7:58) and felt I could do something around eight minutes for the majority of the race. Obviously, I would slow late but Rocky Road gave me the confidence that I could run a 100 plus miles without walking, so that is what I set out to do.
My single goal for the day was to run at least 141 miles. That would give me a chance to be selected for the U.S. National Team traveling to Poland for the World Championships in September. To make two National Teams in one year in two completely different events would be a huge accomplishment for me. There was no real thought of winning the race because of four distinct reasons 1.) Serge Arbona 2.) Valmir Nunes 3.) Howard Nippert and what was that fourth one?....oh ya...4.) I just ran a hard 100k thirteen days ago in Italy:)
For those of you that don't know, the course is comprised of a 0.9 mile almost entirely flat paved loop along Lake Erie. I will fast forward to the twelfth hour as I just reached 90 miles. My pace was pretty consistent all day and except for a few bathroom stops, a shoe change, and bid number change I was able to maintain an eight minute mile pace each lap. Moreover, I was in the lead, but it was still very early in the race and I knew this. The last four ours would determine the winner, however winning the race was not my focus. My focus switched to the night. I knew this would be the difference. Could I stay awake, mentally strong, and motivated during the night?
I got to 13 hours (13:40-100miles) and handed my watch to Charles. I didn't want the 100 miles to be my mental finish line, so I got rid of the watch and just ran on feel at that point. I got to 14, 15, and 16 hours pretty quickly only fading to about an 8:30 pace. A lot of my success was due to my crew Charles. Every lap he was ready with whatever I needed. Running to catch up to me in many cases when I changed my mind at the last minute:) He was my hero, not going to sleep all night. If he wasn't taking care of my nutritional needs, he was making runs to the car to send Twitter updates, and to record each lap time. These recorded lap splits proved to be very important as five of my laps were not recorded early in the race and with Charles' help they were recorded later.
As I approached the 17th hour, I called for Charles to run up next to me as I was finishing another lap, I whispered to him, "This feels so easy." I didn't want anyone to hear me because it would have come off the wrong way. I just couldn't believe that I would feel this good so late in the race after running the World 100k thirteen days earlier. BUT, I was now starting to feel the mental fatigue as it approached 3 a.m. I could see the goal right in front of me. I was two laps from 140! Unfortunately, this would be the challenge. How could I continue to motivate myself to run further when I had already done what I set out to do? I know 141 miles wouldn't ensure me of making the team and with an 11 lap lead in the race over Serge Arbona...I wanted to finish off the race with a win.
I got to 144 and Charles tells me that I could walk it from here and start my rest for Western States. Then, I looked and him and said, "I want to win this thing." He replied, "Oh." I then told him to let me know when I could stop running and walk it in for the win. I ran to 152 miles and at that point I got the go ahead to walk it in. I finished with two hours or so of walking and a grand total of 158.5 miles. It was impressive to see how strong Serge and Sabrina were running the last two hours. I took note of this as I will need to do the same come September in Poland, but I won't let it damper my performance. There is no way I would have imagined running over 150 miles and to almost run 160 is CRAZY! Charles....thank you! You were like having a second pair of legs out there. Start packing your bags for Poland:)
Now it is on to the third leg of MY grand slam, this little race called.....Western States....Have you heard of it?

text: Jennifer Holm is well known to elementary school readers who love graphic novels. Holm's "Babymouse" is a hugely-popular, award-winning series that explores the trials and tribulations of elementary school (Bonus: Babymouse heads to middle school in Lights, Camera, Middle School!). For fans of Jennifer Holm, I recommend one of her more serious titles, Sunny Side Up. Sunny is a young girl growing up in the 1970s, and her brother has a drug problem. Not wanting to expose Sunny to the ugly side of recovery, her parents send her away to her grandfather's retirement community where Sunny spends her summer. Holm does a great job allowing readers to view this family problem through the eyes of a younger sibling. The reader only knows the info Sunny knows, and gets to be frustrated right along with her for not being told the whole story. Despite the heavy theme, Sunny Side Up is a positive story with bright illustrations and a lot of humor. I can't wait to read the sequel, Swing it, Sunny! It's in my "to read" pile, but I haven't got to it yet. Maybe you can check it out from one of the NHCPL locations and let us know what you think!

One man was arrested and another is wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in York County Thursday night, an official said.
York-Poquoson Sheriff's deputies and medics responded just after 7 p.m. to the 100 block of Walnut Drive where they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest, spokesman Lt. Dennis Ivey Jr. said in a news release.
Investigators think the 40-year-old Williamsburg man and another man were involved in altercation when the other man pulled out a handgun and shot him, Ivey said.
The victim, identified as Carlos Lamont Lassiter, of Wallace Road in Williamsburg, was taken to the hospital where he underwent surgery. He died about 4 a.m. Friday, Ivey said.
Investigators identified two men in connection with the incident, and one has been arrested.
Laphonso Cordero Lyon, 29, with a last known address in the 100 block of Walnut Drive in York County, was arrested, without incident. He is charged with accessory after the fact to aggravated malicious wounding, as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to Ivey.
Deputies are still searching for a second man, Ryan Atwan Lyon, 32, with a last known address in the 100 block of Townley Court in York County. Warrants have been obtained were for aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and reckless handling of a firearm, Ivey said. Additional warrants are pending, he said.
Anyone who can assist with the investigation or knows Lyon's whereabouts is asked to call the anonymous Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

Newcastle tried to sign a striker last summer, when we were unsuccessful in getting top target Bafe Gomis through the door, and usually when that's been the case – like in the summer of 2011, we've followed up in January with a signing, and two years ago next month is when Papiss Cisse arrived on Tyneside from SC Freiburg, after we had failed to get Modibo Maiga from Sochaux, and Maiga is now struggling at West Ham.
Loic Remy – indicating Newcastle are number one (obviously)
And there's a decent possibility that now that Bafe Gomis is available for a quarter of the fee Newcastle were willing to pay for him last summer, Newcastle could bring in the Frenchman next month, and as we reported earlier today, that deal could already be in place.
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley likes a good deal and to pay only £2M for Gomis, after we were willing to pay around £9M for him a short five months ago, is a good deal in anybody's language.
And on loan striker Loic Remy has gone off the boil a little recently, and hasn't scored for a number of games, but is still top scorer on Tyneside with 8 goals, and while not scoring recently, he's still playing well and working hard for the side.
And that dip in form may even be good news for Newcastle, because it wouldn't be out of the question that he decides to sign permanently for Newcastle in January, and not wait until the summer before deciding which club to join.
Certainly from what Loic has said he is already settled on Tyneside, and with many Frenchman in the squad and Newcastle flying high in 6th place – the highest we have been in the Premier League at this stage of the season since Sir Bobby Robson managed the cub – it would not be a bad choice at all.
So there's a chance Newcastle could sign two strikers in January, with one of them being Loic Remy – it's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.

If there's one thing participants focus on the fastest, it's when they can't hear the presenter. Speaking too softly, mumbling, or garbling words are a few ways a speaker gets in the way of their own message. Well SpeakSchmeak has a few tips for speaking to be heard.
- Relax – When we're nervous or tense, our voices sound unnatural. This leads to low volumes, abnormally high pitches, and even our words pouring out too fast to be understood. To avoid all that, take deep breaths and slow down. Before the presentation we can calm down by stretching our arms over our head, or even bending at the waist and just dangling to the floor.
- Open Your Mouth – The main cause of garbled words or mumbling is simply that we need to open wide. For practice, reading aloud helps us hear ourselves being unclear, and encourages us to enunciate and let our voices out.
- Improve Your Posture – Sitting up straight or standing tall doesn't just help us look better, it properly aligns our bodies the way they were designed. With a straight spine, our lungs can fill with more air, our diaphragm can support our sound better, and our voices have a clear route out.
- Focus Your Voice – We may have good posture, be relaxed, and speak with our mouths open, but if we're sending our words to the floor or just in front of us, we'll still be unheard. We should speak out to, and focus our voices to where the ears are. If in front of an audience, we aim towards the back. If on a conference call, we make sure our mics are close enough and unobstructed.

I have a pair of sandals, but they are only a pair of left-footed sandals. Last night I had a dream where I found the other. Where was it? I don't remember. According to Eliezer Edwards Words, Facts, and Phrases: A Dictionary of Cursious, Quaint, & Out –of-the-Way Matters, the word sinister means
"on the left, or to the left. Shakespeare says, 'His sinister cheek.' In heraldry 'sinister' is the left side of a shield […] a 'bend sinister' is a band passing diagonally across the shield, from top on the base on the left […] It is supposed to have been used as a mark of illegitimacy,"
illegitimacy as in bastards. Can you imagine carrying that shield around, just so people would know that about you? All to say, I've been walking around in sinister sandals for a year. Only in my dreams am I legitimately shoed.
A friend's birthday party was this past Saturday. I stayed too late, and in the morning I smelled like cigars and potato chips. My head throbbed. And I remembered that this was the day I was to hang out with my family. I drove south. When I walked into the yard, I saw my dad carrying a jackhammer toward the back fence.
My hangover sparkled.
I remembered—today was the day we would spend cracking old concrete to make way for the new fence posts.

This page is part of the old A451 specification - current syllabus here
1. Introduction
Specification point:
iii) Explain the different roles of computers in a client-server and a peer-to-peer network
By the time you read this theory section you should already have learned quite a lot about computer networks.
You certainly should understand the difference between a LAN and a WAN. You can probably describe the different network topologies - star, bus and ring.
Now you are going to find out about client server and peer to peer networks.
These are not to be confused with LANS and WANs or star, bus and ring layouts. Instead, client server and peer to peer networks are more to do with how files and data are stored on the network and how they are accessed or retrieved by the person using the network.

V Premiere! SayKnowledge "Lap Up"
The swaggy samurai cover art of SayKnowledge's debut Vibe Called Quest (dropping on January 15th, 2013 on Heavy Keys Records) caught our eye and then the album's sounds grabbed our hip-hop heads. Representing the Bay Area in Cali, the young'n is on that J.Cole/Kendrick Lamar wordplay, flow and detailed subject matter. Right now the easy listening, jazzy-hop sounds provided by producers Mars Today and Mikos, are the perfect compliment to Say's speedy yet slick display of verses. He'll wrap lines around the beat and still catch the tempo and maintain cruise control. Once he masters this skill (with his unique voice) he'll be the next big artist out of the left coast. Here is his first leak from the project titled "Lap Up". It's a playful extension to the idea of Notorious BIG's "Ladies/My Mercedes, holds four in the back/two if ya fat..." theme. Be on the look out for the video next week. SayKnowledge says: "Quest" is essentially the ill in all life. All previous, all future. "Quest" is soul medicine, I offer the sugar to help the message go down. "Vibe Called Quest" is dedicated to those who recognize the ill in their own journey, regardless of intended destination."

- Opening of the Hector MacDonald Memorial, Dingwall

A photograph of the opening of the Hector MacDonald Memorial, in Dingwall, taken on 23 May 1907. As the crowds gathers around the monument, cannons can be seen firing a salute in the lower-right of the image.
This imposing monument was built by public subscription on Mitchell Hill, Dingwall in memory of the Scottish hero, a popular and much loved local man, Sir Hector Macdonald or "Fighting Mac" as he was known.
Mitchell Hill was named after John Mitchell who was appointed provost of Dingwall in 1870. He was a bank agent who at his own expense drained and planted Kempfield which is now called Mitchell Hill.
The monument was designed by the architect James Sandford Kay. The foundation stone was laid on September 25th 1905 and the monument was opened to great ceremony on Thursday 23rd May 1907.
Hector Archibald Macdonald was born in the Black Isle in 1853. The son of a crofter, William MacDonald, he worked as a stable boy and then as a draper's assistant in Dingwall and in Inverness before he joined the Gordon Highlanders as a private.
In his first year in India his knowledge of the drill book earned him his first promotion to drill sergeant. By 1874 he had attained the rank of colour sergeant. His first mention in dispatches was for leading an attack party in Afghanistan for which he was thanked personally by Lord Roberts.
In the same year he was offered the choice of a Victoria Cross or a commission. He chose the latter. By 1881 he was a First Lieutenant. He was then sent to South Africa where he was again mentioned in dispatches.
After returning to England he volunteered his services in the Sudan and served with the Egyptian army where he was promoted to captain. Gallant and distinguished conduct resulted in another mention in dispatches and a D.S.O. He earned the nick name "Fighting Mac" and promotion to Major. It was at Omduran in 1898 that his skill reached its height. Unexpectedly attacked by 10,000 Dervish forces he and his men not only held their ground but beat off the opposition. The Nile valley was taken by the British, the Dervishes were annihilated and the murder of General Gordon at Khartoum was avenged. Macdonald returned to Britain to a hero's welcome. He was made a brevet colonel and aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria and promoted to Brigadier General.
Macdonald served again in India and was then recalled to South Africa to take command of the Highland Brigade. He took part in action in the Brandwater basin which saw the surrender of 4000 Boers in July 1900. He was again mentioned in dispatches. The King bestowed on him the honour of Knight Commander of the Bath and he was promoted to Major-General.
The brilliant and distinguished career of a national hero came to an end on the morning of 25th March 1903. While serving in Ceylon grave charges of homosexuality were made against him. Having been sent to England on leave he was returning to Ceylon via Paris to face a court-martial. In his hotel he read a New York Times report of the charges against him and in despair went to his room and shot himself.
Only on his death did it emerge that he had a wife and son. His widow arranged for her husband to be buried in secrecy at 6am on Monday 30th March in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh.
The public was shocked not only at the allegations but also at the nature of the funeral. On the first Sunday after his burial 30,000 people visited the grave. People queued for three hours to pay their respects and there were so many flowers that the superintendent of the cemetery refused to take any more. Many believed that Macdonald was a victim of class prejudice. Rumours abounded and even today many questions surrounding the tragic death of a brave soldier, whose rise through the ranks was unprecedented, remain unanswered.

I finally got back my second roll of film from our trip to Las Vegas (oh so long ago now). The second roll was black & white so I needed to wait for some more rolls of black & white to take a bunch of them together to be developed (it's slightly cheaper that way).
Anyway, I have spent the morning organizing and grouping the two rolls into "postable themes". The first theme... the buildings of Las Vegas! They are truly impressive in sheer size, number and replication of already exsisting buildings in the world. I think I spent half my time there with my neck craned up to look at all the buildings.

Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activityBy Mayo Clinic staff
Original Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/exercise/HQ01676
Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity
You know exercise is good for you, but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, find out how exercise can improve your life.By Mayo Clinic staff
Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than exercise. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. And the benefits of exercise are yours for the taking, regardless of your age, sex or physical ability. Need more convincing to exercise? Check out these seven ways exercise can improve your life.
No. 1: Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don't need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits. If you can't do an actual workout, get more active throughout the day in simple ways — by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or revving up your household chores.
No. 2: Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help you prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls.
No. 3: Exercise improves mood
Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
No. 4: Exercise boosts energy
Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy to go about your daily chores.
No. 5: Exercise promotes better sleep
Struggling to fall asleep? Or to stay asleep? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to fall asleep.
No. 6: Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life
Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can leave you feeling energized and looking better, which may have a positive effect on your sex life. But there's more to it than that. Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise.
No. 7: Exercise can be fun
Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend some time. It gives you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting. So, take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. If you get bored, try something new.
The bottom line on exercise
Exercise and physical activity are a great way to feel better, gain health benefits and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any health concerns.
Mesothelioma and Massage Therapy
The medical and recreational application of massage extends many years into the past. Ideally for many patients suffering from malignant mesothelioma, fibromyalgia, or a number of other pain-inducing problems, massage offers a natural, supplemental treatment to alleviate pain. Aside from having no side effects, this practice encourages harmony of the mind and body to holistically improve any person in pain.
Those victimized by the pain of mesothelioma, a form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure, are ideal candidates for massage treatment. Many authorities in rehabilitation and medicine describe massage as a form of alternative medicine. While it is not a cure by itself, strong evidence suggests it assists more conventional cancer treatments. When combined in such a way, massage and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or tumor removal have been proven very effective at expediting recovery while decreasing pain.
Massage Benefits
When one or many parts of the body need nutrient-rich blood to help repair damaged tissue, massaging helps transport the blood faster by "opening up" the blood vessels across which this happens. Once this is achieved, pain, aches and soreness will often be greatly alleviated thanks to the nutrients transported by the blood. Although there are variations in the massages that encourage such an effect, such as the heavily popularized Swedish massage and shiatsu, they all operate on this important premise in their unique, often culturally-derived ways.
For those with mesothelioma in particular, it remains important to reiterate that massage should not be seen as a cure but as only a useful aide in a successful recovery. The role of massage needs to be understood as more than just a means of addressing pain in order for it to be fully effective. In many situations, its application encourages a calm and relaxed demeanor that is needed for treatment. With a clearer, more positive frame of mind, patients often recover much more successfully than with a stressful one. If massage therapy appeals to a patient, all it takes to start a professional massage regimen is an earnest request to the primary care physician.
Although massage is a veteran among therapeutic treatments, its applications in treating cancer have just surfaced recently. With such rapidly growing success, however, massage is now its own area of therapy that serves cancer patients. The official name for this kind of massage, the formal practice of which requires licensure, is the oncology massage.
Oncology Massage
With the oncology massage, physicians and therapists must research each patient's case, as cancer pain can manifest itself in different areas of the body and in different ways. For this reason, an educated approach needs to be taken in order to streamline the efficiency of the massage while avoiding damaging tissue or otherwise worsening the condition. When these considerations are carefully respected, along with an acute awareness and appreciation for the patient's emotional state, a truly holistic improvement can be made through this treatment.
Any therapist licensed to administer oncology massages will likely know about the kind of treatments, such as radiation therapy, that most mesothelioma patients are undergoing in conjunction with massage therapy. This knowledge is extremely important in ensuring the success of a patient's recovery. Often times, those who are shuffled around within the medical community fall victim to a lack of good communication between the various health professionals, which can stagnate recovery or even worsen the situation. Oncology massage professionals are specifically trained to communicate and act in conjunction with what goes on outside their own doors, out of true respect for the patient and the recovery process. With this therapy's ability to seamlessly integrate into a patient's standard regimen, many have seen encouraging results in their course of treatment as a result of massage therapy.
Holiday Stress
Tips to Stay On Top
Copyright since 2000. Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals. All rights reserved.
Here "it" comes -- holiday stress. As families negotiate where to spend Thanksgiving, and millions of us are making the empty promise to ourselves to start early on holiday shopping, the anxiety begins to build. And it only gets crazier from here. Choir practice for the kids, family gatherings at every turn, office parties, treks to the mall, baking...you know where this is headed. So what can you do about it? You may not be able to control the chaos of the season, but there are some steps to make sure you survive it unscathed.
1.Take time for yourself. YES, get a massage. Soak in a mineral bath. Listen to the silence of a snowfall. Even if there seems no possible moment you can claim as your own, close your eyes, breathe deep from your belly several times, exhaling the air loudly from your mouth. Do this whenever you need a "moment."
2. Utilize catalog/online shopping. Don't fight the crowds. From the convenience of your home or during an office lunch hour, catalog and online shopping can eliminate the headache of holiday stress tenfold.
3. Eat right. Some of the best goodies come out this time of year. While you shouldn't deny yourself the opportunity to have a piece of grandma's pumpkin pie, don't overdo it. Remember to eat plenty of vegies and fruits to help stave off the winter's bombardment of colds.
4. Give yourself the advantage. Consumption of alcohol, nicotine, drugs and caffeine elicit the body's stress reaction. Remember moderation, you'll be happier and calmer in the long run.
5. Don't skimp on the exercise...but allow yourself to be excused from the routine when need be. Exercise helps melt the stress away and can provide that moment of clarity in a hectic day.
6. Don't try to be Martha Stewart. It's easy to get caught up in the spirit of the holidays with new decorating ideas, fancy dinners and the whim to make all your gifts this year. Be realistic and honest with yourself. Don't set yourself up for failure. Hire a caterer. Have friends help by having a craft day. Forgo making the gift wreath and give a gift you'll know they'll appreciate -- a massage.
7. Remember the spirit. When it's all said and done, no one will remember that the turkey was a little dry, that the sweater didn't fit, or that you were a few minutes late for rehearsal. What do they remember? The precious moments with family and friends.

1. Neutral Nails vs. Nail Art
3D busy nails are over and now it's time for neutral nails to shine. This year it's all about the soft, effortless look. Try some soft pinks, nudes and even browns with your next manicure – they look great and go with everything you're wearing.
2. Fresh Face vs. Cake Face
I already discussed the end of cake face era in my recent post, Trend Alert 2015: Has Contouring Gone Too Far?. The days of layering on pounds of concealers, highlighters, markers and crayons to completely transform your face are coming to an end. This year it's more about accenting what you have with soft shimmers and bronzing powders.
3. YSL vs. Prada
Let's face it, there's nothing right now from Prada on anybody's lust list. I mean, nobody makes a wallet like Prada and I currently own one, however unlike the Chanel Boy Bag, Gucci Soho Disco Bag and well everything YSL – Prada just doesn't have the it factor this season. Right now I'm loving YSL's Cabas Monogram Bag for everyday wear, and who doesn't love their Classic Monogram Tassel Satchel in Lipstick Red for a night out? Not to mention their Classic Jane Ankle Strap Shoes.
4. Nude Bottoms vs. Red Bottoms
Louboutins have become more of a social statement rather than a fashion statement. This year, it's about getting back to the basics with nude bottoms – Jimmy Choos, Stuart Weitzman, YSL (of course), Valentino and an honourable mention to Vince Camuto who recently passed (RIP).
5. Alpha Female vs. Alpha Male
Out of all the statuesque beauties, the eternal bachelor, George Clooney settled down with Amal – he really needed an Alpha Female to tame him. They're the it couple because Amal is the it woman. If anyone watched the Golden Globes, he knows that he got lucky, not the other way around. This year, it's about well rounded, strong, fierce women who have a supportive man with ample confidence that's proud to let her shine, and it's not always about him.

Got a tree that needs to see the light? Our front yard has several large and looming trees but only one is green. Yes, a green tree. (Hey, I live in Arizona with its own set of quirks like green trees called Palo Verdes!) So this tree is nothing short of a focal point.
A while back, I created a hanging orb plant basket to dress up said tree. Call me biased but I think it looks pretty cool. Using the same hardware store materials, I created a series of hanging solar light orbs. And this is how I showed this green tree the light…

DIY hanging solar lights
I was originally inspired to create my hanging orb hanging plant basket following our annual summer escape to the California coast. There, I saw your typical planter basket (check out what I did with one of those planter baskets) hanging from a large tree and just loved how it looked. Creative story later, I concocted my own hanging planter. And now with the miniature solar light hanging orbs to match.
So what's the first thing that comes to mind when little kids declare they want to paint… A little fear mixed in with this-will-keep-them-busy-for-all-of-10-minutes followed by a masterpiece of a mess?! Exactly. Whenever I pull out anything to do with painting, I suddenly have these miniature wannabe Van Goghs all up in my DIY-ing. So as I was busy spray painting these orbs, I was working next to three pint-sized artists busily creating their very paint-heavy works of art. Of course, their big-time giggles meant clean-up trouble for me as they painted themselves and each other, painted the grass and the brick walkway. I swear, I'm still scrubbing dried up flakes of poster paint out of the bathtub!
– 3/4″ galvanized steel hanging tape
– 3/4″ steel screw and nut
– wire snips or heavy duty scissors
– Miniature solar lights (I used this brand and type of solar lights)
– Saw
– Drill with small drill bit (here's a great brand name electric drill)
– Screwdriver (a magnetic screwdriver works great for this project)
– 3/16″ eye bolts with nuts
– Spray paint (optional)
– Twine or jute string
Step #1:
Based on the size of the solar lights you're using, cut two strips of steel tape. Form two circles and secure them together (temporarily) with a screw and nut.
Step #2:
If desired, give your orbs a spray of paint. *Hello! Frazzled Moment* Let dry.
Don't want to DIY? Let me make them for you!
These hanging solar lights make great gifts. Don't want to DIY?
Send me a note and I'll make some for you.
Step #3:
Caution: Sharp tools ahead. Using a regular ole saw, cut off the small post at the end of the solar light. You are cutting off the small tip that fits into the post that you stick in the ground.
Step #4:
Take the solar part of the mini solar light apart. Using a small drill bit, create a hole in the flat bottom part of the solar light tube — making the hole in its middle.
Step #5:
Turn the part of the mini solar light you just drilled a hole through upright. Using a screwdriver, insert the screw through this hole and into the steel tape. Remember the screw holding the orb together temporarily? Yeah, take that screw out in place for the screw in the mini solar light. Secure with a nut. Flip over and put the top of the solar light back on the tube.
Step #6:
Insert the eye bolt through the top of the orb and secure with the nut. Insert a string of jute or twine and hang over a branch. Let it see the light for some nighttime twinkle!

The second development program developed in this work was introduced to obtain physicochemical properties of DPP-IV inhibitors. Based on the computation of molecular descriptors, a two-stage feature selection method called mRMR-BFS minimum redundancy maximum relevance-backward feature selection was adopted. Then, the support vector regression SVR was used in the establishment of the model to map DPP-IV inhibitors to their corresponding inhibitory activity possible. The squared correlation coefficient for the training set of LOOCV and the test set are 0.815 and 0.884, respectively. An online server for predicting inhibitory activity pIC50 of the DPP-IV inhibitors as described in this paper has been given in the introduction.

I have a question about the recipe "Alanna Taylor-Tobin's Stolen Granola with Extra Clumps" from Genius Recipes. Can you put dried fruits in. I love granola with dried apricots, cherries etc
Full question didn't post. Can this granola be made with dried fruits mentioned above or will it prevent it from clumping. If yes do you have a recommendation on how much to add. I've 1 cup. Thanks
I would add the dried fruit after the granola cooks and cools, otherwise the fruit will be rock hard. My mother would even add the fruit only before serving (but she neither makes nor eats granola, she just thinks granola and fruit shouldn't mingle long-term, for both their sakes.) I've been making homemade granola for over a decade--I have this recipe earmarked for the next time!
I agree with Matilda. Also, Alanna has a variation posted on her blog with diced candied ginger in which she adds the ginger at the end and sticks the pan back in the (turned-off) oven to warm through. She lets it sit there for a few hours or overnight to dry out the ginger but with dried fruit I'd take it out much sooner if you want the fruit to stay chewy. http://bojongourmet.com/2013/09/gingersnap-granola/
p.s. In the original article, I linked back to a number of variations from Alanna's blog, if you're curious: https://food52.com/blog...

J became pregnant following a failed sterilisation. ACC granted J cover for her pregnancy and compensation for the pregnancy's physical effects. J also claimed compensation for loss of earnings on the basis that she had to stay home and care for her child, which ACC declined. The High Court upheld ACC's decision.
J's pregnancy constituted a personal injury, and it was the effects of the pregnancy that attracted cover under the Accident Compensation Act. The Court found that as personal injury is the basis for entitlement under the Act, "there can be no entitlement where a personal injury is no longer affecting a claimant". Accordingly, once J's pregnancy ended, she was no longer entitled to compensation.
In addition, the ACC scheme does not compensate "all consequences that follow from the covered injury". The Court considered the history of the ACC legislation, and found that the need to care for a child in circumstances of this nature is not a consequence of personal injury which the scheme was designed to compensate.
Further, after the birth J's inability to work was not because of her pregnancy. In assessing whether J was "unable" to work because of her personal injury (the pregnancy), the Court found that:
"Once a mother has recovered physically from her pregnancy and giving birth to her child, she will not be 'unable' to work because of her pregnancy… [Her] inability to work is almost certainly not going to be because of the… effects of the pregnancy but… [because of] factors such as childcare arrangements, the unavailability of the other parent and parenting choices."
The Court noted that any extension to cover under the ACC scheme is a matter for Parliament rather than the courts.

Yup, I am officially DONE with medical school. My graduation is in mid-May but in my mind I've already finished- yesterday was my last "working" day of med school.
I'm headed off to internship in a little over a month which is a scary thought. I matched into my top choice advanced program and one of my top choice prelim programs. To those of you reading the blog who aren't familiar with this terminology- "Internship" is the first year of residency which lasts from 3 (ie Internal medicine/ Family Practice) to 7 (ie neurosurgery) years. In "categorical" programs, internship is included, whereas in "advanced programs" it isn't, meaning, as in my case, you have to apply separately for a Preliminary year. Radiology, Ophthalmology, Anesthesiology, Neurology, Dermatology, etc, are examples of programs that sometimes require a separate intern year.
It sucks because I have to move twice- but I'm happy with where I matched so it's worth it.
I had to take my illness into account when formulating my match list. Mania, or in my case, hypomania, can actually be triggered by lack of sleep. And, being that it is perfectly legal to work 30 hours in a row, take 10 hours off, and do the same thing again, I had to pick programs with more humane work schedules. Now what I described is rather extreme- the maximum allowed shift is actually 24 hours, but then you're allowed 6 hours (in some places it's 3) for tying up loose ends, etc. People refer to this as "24 + 6" but I'm like, "whatever, it's 30." One program I looked at basically informed applicants that interns who go over hours do so because they are inefficient. That, to me, implied that interns' time sheets likely have them working < 80 hours with no more than 24+6 in a row, while the actual interns are in the hospital longer than that. I didn't rank the program.
There are programs that have a "night float" system which means that there is, as it sounds, a night shift. This means fewer 24 hour shifts for residents. Even thought night float can turn your schedule upside down and mess up your circadian rhythms, I found this to be preferable to a program where I'd be required to work "24 +6" on a regular basis. Both my intern and residency programs have night float.
I also had to think of the prescription drug plans available. I don't see a psychiatrist a lot anymore- it is basically just for crises and medication management- BUT I do take very expensive medications. Seroquel is the worst offender. I REALLY LIKED one prelim program, but had to rank it very low on my list because the prescription coverage was 400 dollars a year. (!!) And, residents had the same health coverage as one of the hospital unions. So much for collective bargaining!
I'm excited about moving on, but also a little sad because I'm leaving the house I've lived in for 4 years. I'll miss my roommates.

My take (short version): this de facto pardon is only happening so Libby wouldn't start to get sick of prison and start making deals and ratting out his superiors...
Long version follows...
So, not a pardon, but a commutation...hmmm, what's that word mean, exactly? Here's definition #2 at dictionary.com:
the changing of a prison sentence or other penalty to another less severe.
Yep, that sums it up. And it came on the same day that it was decided that Libby was most definitely going to have to go jail.
Just so everyone will know, neither of the words that Bush used to describe his actions--"clemency" and "commute"--appear in the U.S. Constitution. I wonder if Scalia is comfortable with that, given his "strict constructionism" and "originalism." Also, Bush knows that everyone knows what a "pardon" is--that's why he didn't use that word, even though it is in the Constitution. He knows that the rubes don't know or care what clemency and commutation are, so he's inoculating himself against attacks from the right that he's soft on crime.
There seems to be a lot of inexplicable liberal/progressive passivity about, even approval of this commutation. Here's an example at Slate, from a column entitled "Why Bush Was Right To Spare Libby":
This argument is complete crap. Like we're supposed to feel sorry for Libby because he was a high-ranking government official. Well Tim, you dumbass, that's exactly the reason he should receive a more severe sentence--he's supposed to be working for us, not giving out state secrets and then lying about it. He should know better...
"What Bush did [commuting Libby's sentence]was just and fair. It was the right thing to do...
But Judge Reggie Walton went overboard in sentencing Libby to 30 months.
This was about twice as long as the prison term recommended by the court's probation office, and if Libby hadn't been a high-ranking government official, there's a decent chance he would have gotten off with probation, a stiff fine, and likely disbarment."
Not only that, but Libby wouldn't even have been in the position to do what he did if he hadn't been a high-ranking government official. The circumstances surrounding what Libby did required him to be a high-ranking government official, so how is the fact that he was one then an argument for leniency?
Noah's argument above is just more of that power-hungry, you-scratch-my-balls-and-I'll-scratch-yours "coverage" of goings-on in Washington. It's a prime example of that ass-kissing, suck-up-to-power-in-exchange-for-access mentality that plagues our press.
Why not commute Genarlow Wilson's sentence?
If there was ever a good argument for a commutation, Bush should either pardon or commute Genarlow Wilson's sentence. For those unfamiliar with the circumstances, here's a good recap from Wikipedia:
"...[Wilson's]conviction was based on an amateur video tape showing Wilson [then seventeen] engaging in sex with a 17-year-old girl during a private party, and later receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old girl.
A jury acquitted Wilson of raping the older girl, but convicted him of aggravated child molestation against the 15-year-old. The "aggravated" nature of the charge refers to fellatio (oral sex) rather than a mere "immoral or indecent act." Had the two teenagers had intercourse without oral sex, Wilson would have been charged with a misdemeanor, punishable up to 12-months, with no sex offender status, instead of the 10-year minimum term that the judge gave him.
The 15 year old girl, who has remained unnamed in the press as a 'victim of a sex offense', has repeatedly stated that the act of oral sex was consensual, though she legally could not consent. The jury acquitted Wilson of the rape charge, but as the age of consent in Georgia is 16, they voted to convict him of aggravated child molestation for the oral sex incident, with the forewoman tearfully reading the verdict. Some jury members later complained they had not understood the verdict would result in a 10 year minimum sentence, plus one year on probation."
Got that? Wilson's act was consensual, and had he actually gone ahead and put his penis in her vagina, he would've only been guilty of a misdemeanor and had to serve only a year or less in jail. As it is, Wilson is considered a child molestor and has now been in jail for 2 1/2 years.
Oh, and it gets better. Because of all the negative publicity surrounding the Wilson case, they changed the law in Georgia so that what Wilson did would now be only a misdemeanor. But they didn't make the law apply retroactively, so Wilson's still in jail.
A judge said last month that Genarlow should be released, pointing out the following:
"If this court, or any court, cannot recognize the injustice of what has occurred here, then our court system has lost sight of the goal our judicial system has always strived to accomplish…Justice being served in a fair and equal manner."
But Georgia's attorney general filed for an appeal of that decision, meaning that the case must now be decided by the state supreme court. And so Genarlow Wilson sits in jail, for 29 months--a month shy of what Scooter's jail time would have been.
I'll tell you why Bush won't commute Genarlow's sentence
Three reasons:
1. Wilson is black
3. He doesn't have any inside information on the Bush administration that could get them all sent to jail

Congressional staff mistakes earthquake for terrorist attack
When a building shakes in Washington, "earthquake" does not spring to mind.
Instead, as the magnitude 5.8 earthquake shook the capital on Tuesday, it sparked immediate fears of a terrorist attack for congressional staff members accustomed to repeated warnings about man-made threats.
Zach Cikanek, press secretary to Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.), said he was in the Rayburn House Office Building when he felt shaking for about 60 seconds, then a "quick rumble that felt like a passing train, and then a pause."
PHOTOS: Earthquake hits the East Coast
Just as he and his colleagues were getting up from their desks to investigate, they felt an "elevated tremor that raised everyone's alarm bells," Cikanek said.
For many, this was their first experience with an earthquake. And with the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks nearing, an earthquake was the last potential event on many Washingtonians' minds.
"In D.C., when you feel the building rumble, the first thing that goes through your head is you get worried that this could be an act of terrorism," Cikanek said. "Once people realized it was an earthquake, and more than likely over with, most people went through the evacuation procedure and went to their designated area."
Capitol Police evacuated the complex and said it would remain inaccessible as structural engineers from the Architect of the Capitol surveyed the buildings. Garages were also closed, leaving staff and aides without their vehicles.
"At first we weren't sure exactly what it was, but as we heard the Capitol Police officers and other staff shouting evacuation orders, we knew it was serious," said congressional staffer Rachel Semmel, who fled without her keys or wallet. "For a brief moment during evacuation, it was very scary."
At a Department of Motor Vehicles office in downtown Washington, "everybody started to shout and run for the door," said a Capitol Hill staffer who was trying to resolve a traffic ticket during his lunch break. "When you live in D.C., you never know what to expect. That's your first instinct -– the city's going to get bombed or something. You just have images of Japan and I knew I didn't want to be trapped in the DMV for days on end."
Most lawmakers are away in August because Congress is on recess, but the Capitol and its surrounding office buildings remain a bustling place.
Some saw humor in the event.
"I've got a whole new view of the lyrics, 'I feel the Earth move under my feet,' " joked Sharon Jenkins, spokeswoman for Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.).
Budget analyst Stan Collender said he waited for the shaking to end, hailed a cab and went to his next meeting, which was held outside on the sidewalk.
"Of course, the earth only moves in Washington when Congress is out of session," he quipped.
Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said that there was structural damage to some buildings in the Capitol complex and "a couple minor twisted ankles."
"Aside from people being a little bit anxious and nervous," most Capitol complex employees are fine, Gainer said.
Recounting notorious events in the modern era on Capitol Hill, Gainer, the chief law enforcement officer and executive officer of the Senate, noted: "We've had officers being murdered, incoming aircraft, the threat from 9/11, anthrax, Ricin — so this is a community very experienced at various man-made and natural threats."
Personnel in the Office of the Attending Physician were treating minor injuries and the Capitol Police "have been very nicely on top of things," Gainer said.

Calculating the amount of security: the quantum calculation: estimating future revenue risk using taxable turnover: Landfill Tax
It is possible to calculate the amount required in security by estimating future liability based on the registrable person's estimated 'taxable turnover'.
The person includes an estimate of annual tonnage for each type of waste on the LT1 registration document. Always round up the figure.
There are two rates of Landfill Tax depending on the type of waste being disposed of. Use the appropriate formula from the following:
Formula A - for traders dealing only in the lower rate of waste
Level of tonnage (Lower rate) x rate per ton/2
Formula B - for traders dealing only in standard rate waste
Level of tonnage (Standard rate) x rate per ton/2
Formula C - for traders dealing in both standard and lower rate waste
(Formula A) + (Formula B)
For example, anticipated levels of tonnage are 5000 tonnes at the lower rate and 3000 tonnes at the standard rate. The current rates of Landfill Tax are £2.50 and £56 respectively.
Formula A 5000 x £2.50 = £6,250
Formula B 3000 x £56 = £84,000
Formula C calculation would result in a figure of £90,250 (the total of Formula A + Formula B).
Information on tonnages of waste may also be available from the Environment Agency (or Scottish Environmental Protection Agency in Scottish cases), as Landfill Tax traders must render returns to the Environment Agency declaring tonnages of waste.
If the LT1-estimated taxable turnover is all the information you have, consider issuing a warning letter to prompt the person to provide more information on which to base your calculation of the amount of security.
It is essential that you keep a written record of how you came to your decision on the amount of security. This will be invaluable if the person appeals to tribunal or requests a review, see SG70200.
