The US Supreme Court has made a ruling on lawsuits against drug companies for fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death. The precedent will allow 80 percent of all drugs to be exempt from legal liability.
Drug companies failed to warn patients that toxic epidermal necrolysis was a side effect. But the Supreme Court ruled they're still not liable for damages.
Drug companies routinely fail to inform the public of serious side effects relating to pharmaceuticals.
One of the most publicly know were the missing documents sent to the British Medical Journal by an anonymous source including reviews and memos indicating that Eli Lilly officials were aware in the 1980s that fluoxetine had very troubling side effects. Big pharma is always on a mission to minimise the side effects to prevent their likely negative effect on prescribing.
In a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court struck down a lower court's ruling and award for the victim of a pharmaceutical drug's adverse reaction. According to the victim and the state courts, the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect that left the patient permanently disfigured over most of her body. The adverse reaction was hidden by the drug maker and later forced to be included on all warning labels. But the highest court in the land ruled that the victim had no legal grounds to sue the corporation because its drugs are exempt from lawsuits.
Karen Bartlett vs. Mutual Pharmaceutical Company
In 2004, Karen Bartlett was prescribed the generic anti-inflammatory drug Sulindac, manufactured by Mutual Pharmaceutical, for her sore shoulder. Three weeks after taking the drug, Bartlett began suffering from a disease called, 'toxic epidermal necrolysis'. The condition is extremely painful and causes the victim's skin to peel off, exposing raw flesh in the same manner as a third degree burn victim.
Karen Bartlett sued Mutual Pharma in New Hampshire state court, arguing that the drug company included no warning about the possible side effect. A court agreed and awarded her $21 million. The FDA went on to force both Mutual, as well as the original drug manufacturer Merck & Co., to include the side effect on the two drugs' warning labels going forward.
Now, nine years after the tragedy began, the US Supreme Court overturned the state court's verdict and award. Justices cited the fact that all generic drugs and their manufacturers, some 80% of all drugs consumed in the United States, are exempt from liability for side effects, mislabeling or virtually any other negative reactions caused by their drugs. In short, the Court ruled that the FDA has ultimate authority over pharmaceuticals in the US. And if the FDA says a drug is safe, that takes precedent over actual facts, real victims and any and all adverse reactions.
Court ruling
The Court's ruling a week ago on behalf of generic drug makers is actually a continuation of a ruling made by the same Court in 2011. At that time, the Justices ruled that the original inventors and manufacturers of pharmaceutical drugs, also known as 'name brand' drugs, are the only ones that can be sued for mislabeling, fraud or adverse drug reactions and side effects. If the generic versions of the drugs are made from the exact same formula and labeled with the exact same warnings as their brand name counterparts, the generics and their manufacturers were not liable.
The Court ruled, "Because it is impossible for Mutual and other similarly situated manufacturers to comply with both state and federal law, New Hampshire's warning-based design-defect cause of action is pre-empted with respect to FDA-approved drugs sold in interstate commerce."
And that ruling flies in the face of both common sense and justice. And as Karen Bartlett can now attest, it leaves 240 million Americans unprotected from the deadly and torturous side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. As a reminder, the number one cause of preventable or accidental death in the US is pharmaceutical drugs.
Critics React
Immediately upon the Supreme Court's ruling, both drug manufacturers and Wall Street investors were celebrating. As one financial analyst pointed out, drug company profits should skyrocket going forward. Not only do the pharmaceutical companies no longer have to worry about safety or side effects, they are exempt from the multi-million dollar court-imposed settlements awarded to victims of their drugs.
One industry critic was quoted by Reuters after the verdict. "Today's court decision provides a disincentive for generic makers of drugs to monitor safety of their products and to make sure that they have a surveillance system in place to detect adverse events that pose a threat to patients," Michael Carome, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group told the news outlet.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) was quick to react to the ruling by writing a stern letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, "A consumer should not have her rights foreclosed simply because she takes the generic version of a prescription drug."
But an attorney for the drug companies, Jay P. Lefkowitz, took the opposing position saying, "It makes much more sense to rely on the judgments of the scientific and medical experts at the FDA, who look at drug issues for the nation at large, than those of a single state court jury that only has in front of it the terribly unfortunate circumstances of an adverse drug reaction."
In other words, if the FDA says something is safe, it doesn't matter if that decision is wrong or the result of lies, fraud or deception on the part of the world's pharmaceutical companies. And there's no way to sue the FDA for being wrong and costing millions of unsuspecting Americans their lives. That result leaves 240 million Americans unprotected from an industry responsible for more preventable deaths in the US than any other cause.

Volcanoes, one of the most sublime forces of nature, have had an immense impact on human settlements throughout history, all the way from Pompeii to Antigua Guatemala. Despite the dramatic devastation wreaked by volcanoes, we have always felt both fear and attraction to them. Many people live in close proximity to volcanoes, in different countries all around the globe, from Indonesia to Japan, the Philippines, Italy, and many countries in America, including Guatemala. This is because, beyond the short-term damage caused by volcanoes, in the long run, volcanic areas become some of the most fertile landscapes on earth, shaping neighbouring societies and cultures in many different ways. Volcanoes are a source of water, and they also provide nutrients to the surrounding soil. People use this soil on volcanic flanks to create astonishingly rich agricultural lands. In addition, volcanoes are a source of building materials, as demonstrated by the many human settlements built with volcanic deposits, such as basalt or diabase.
In 2018, the AA Guatemala Visiting School is offering A Volcano Journey. We will explore how volcanoes are shaping Guatemalan cities, society, culture and economy, from a large to a micro scale. Based on this insight, we will look ahead and reflect on possible future projects and initiatives to foster local development and economy. With this aim, we will suggest new forms of sustainable tourism, new infrastructure, or urban and architectural interventions. We will travel to different volcanoes, providing for an intense first-hand experience of the existing agricultural production or tourism activity. We will meet and interview local people, collect data and make videos and take photos with drones. Eventually, we will produce a Digital Atlas, creating online maps that will dynamically illustrate our analyses and proposals in this constantly changing landscape. Different lectures and conferences will take place throughout the entire workshop, articulating and reporting on the work underway, and discussing the different topics addressed.
Where and when?
The 10-day workshop will be held from the 2 to the 11 July 2018, at two different locations. The meeting point for all participants will be Guatemala City, from whence the group will travel to Antigua Guatemala. This is where we will establish a 7-day base camp, from whence we will conduct all field trips, traveling to different volcanic areas. We will climb up the Pacaya volcano and visit the areas close to the Acatenango volcano and the Agua volcano, and more. After our stay in Antigua, the workshop will continue with a 3-day stay in Guatemala City, at the Universidad Francisco Marroquín (UFM) campus' facilities, where we will develop different proposals based on the previous analyses and insights.

Rights group: Sri Lanka shelling hospitals
Human Rights Watch accused Sri Lankan forces of repeatedly striking hospitals in the northern war zone with indiscriminate artillery and aerial attacks that have killed scores of people, a charge the military denied.world Updated: May 09, 2009 13:06 IST
Human Rights Watch on Saturday accused Sri Lankan forces of repeatedly striking hospitals in the northern war zone with indiscriminate artillery and aerial attacks that have killed scores of people, a charge the military denied. The New York-based group claimed military commanders responsible for ordering or conducting such attacks "may be prosecuted for war crimes."
The accusation came amid growing international concern for an estimated 50,000 civilians caught in the fighting between government forces and the separatist Tamil Tigers.
Government troops in recent months have ousted the rebels from their strongholds across the north and say they have cornered the Tigers in a sliver of land just 2.4 miles- (4 kilometers-) long on the northeast coast.
Human Rights Watch said on Saturday it has information "about at least 30 attacks on permanent and makeshift hospitals in the combat area since December 2008" and blamed government forces. "Hospitals are supposed to be sanctuaries from shelling, not targets," Brad Adams, the group's Asia director, said in a statement.
One of deadliest attacks took place on May 2 when artillery shells struck Mullaivaikal hospital killing 68 people wounding 87, the statement said.
"While doctors and nurses struggle to save lives in overcrowded and underequipped facilities, Sri Lankan army attacks have hit one hospital after another," Adams said.
Military spokesman Brig Udaya Nanayakkara denied the accusation, saying the forces never targeted hospitals in their military operations.
"We have never attacked hospitals," he said. The government has also vowed to stop using heavy weapons in the fight out of concern for the civilians, but health officials and rights groups say the war zone is still being shelled. A government health official in the war zone said the area came under intense shelling on Friday. The official declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media. But Nanayakkara said soldiers were only using small weapons to capture the remaining rebel territory and end the island nation's quarter-century of civil war.
The government and rights groups, meanwhile, accuse the rebels of holding civilians as human shields, a charge the rebels deny. International pressure has grown for a humanitarian truce to protect the civilians still in the war zone. The government has rejected such calls.
The rebels have been fighting since 1983 for a separate state for minority Tamils, who have suffered decades of marginalization at the hands of governments controlled by the Sinhalese majority.

Spiritual traditions have always been based on myth. The other day I discussed religious matters with a minister from Canada, he told me that the reading of the Bible should be a theological text rather than "pure history" as we learned it at secular educational institution of today. The most recent mythology is the dogmatization of the Roman Catholic Church of the Assumption of Mary (This doctrine was dogmatically and infallibly defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950, in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus). In this post I shall discuss the mythical history of Master Liu HuaYang (柳華陽), one of the Grandmasters of Wu-Liu Group (伍柳派), the most popular Neidan practice of today.
The first myth is: Master Liu HuaYang learned his stuff from Master Wu Shouyang (伍守陽). The fact is Master Wu died before Master Liu was born! One mythical interpretation was that Master Wu was an immortal and taught Liu his practice during the latter's meditation. This teaching during meditation had also been a myth with some other famous Taoist Neidan masters.
This myth however is not without psychological support. Like Carl Jung told us that he learned some inner concept from his guru Philemon during meditation or dream. Jung had been familiar with Philemon's theological connotations. Likewise, Master Liu had to have read the rather popular Neidan texts of Master Wu.
The second myth is: Master Liu HuaYang wrote his Hui Ming Jing (慧命經) and The theory of Golden Immortal (金仙證論) based on Master Wu's practice and further develop his practice. Such development seems only be able to come from in depth understanding of Wu's teaching, most likely to have been taught directly by the master rather than just reading his texts. The connection between Liu and Wu is therefore further mythologized. The practice (evidenced by written texts) of the two masters has been so interconnected that it is being called Wu-Liu Group (伍柳派) even though the two masters couldn't logical meet each other physically!
The clarity of Wu-Liu's practice is certainly important for its wide propagation, I do believe this myth created by Master Wu (perhaps in conjunction with other Taoists) helped its propagation by convincing students that their teachings represented the "true Dharma".
But what about the "real" history? The single evidence (i.e. not enough cross-referencing for due-diligence academic practice) I am able to obtain is the fact as related by famous Taoist master Min XiaoYin (閔小艮) who later became the Eleventh lineage grandmaster of the Dragon Gate (Wu was also from the Dragon Gate as a Eighth lineage grandmaster). In one of his books, master Min said when he was young he visited the famous Zen master Liu HuaYang in Liu's home situated at the Eastern side of Heavenly Temple (天檀) in Beijing. Min recalled that Liu showed him his two books and asked him to publish. Min said Liu's books were similar to the books written by the final student of Wu by the name of Xie NingXu 謝凝素 who learned for one year from Wu before his death. The interesting thing is Min said that Xie's books had been lost, and he didn't mind publishing the two books with Liu's names on because it could help propagate Taoist Neidan, probably because Liu was very famous and was preaching with a power myth!
Contemporary Taoists are still arguing about the saying or allegation of master Min. One thing for certain, myths are powerful and very much needed for spiritual practice. A power myth has a life of its own. For the survival and propagation of a spiritual practice, historical facts are always secondary to mythical facts. To this end, I believe Pope Pius XII and Master Min would agree with me!
One last question: where are our contemporary myths? Answer: One can find them in individual "brand history" of major consumer-brands in super-markets or brand-image shops!

While walking in Berlin I always had a strange feeling. It was as though there were still problems between West and East. Germans are not directly social, but they always remain very polite. Or maybe they just weren't used to get a polite smile of a girl?... Berlin has beautiful rich areas, but on the other hand there were like plenty of empty places and even ghettos. The buildings were mostly blocked (in shape), and it really bothered me that each building had something to do with the war of 1940... Oh yeah and what I really noticed was that I never saw a colored man during my trip.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B. C., Canada
The paper presents results of an extensive test program aimed at better understanding of unsteady aerodynamics and vortex induced oscillations of a family of two dimensional elliptic cylinders in the Reynolds number range of 3 × 104 – 105 . In the beginning, results on Strouhal number variation with cylinder eccentricity and angle of attack are presented which can be used to predict critical resonant velocity once the structural properties are identified. This is followed by the data on the fluctuating pressure at the surface of the cylinders which suggest their three dimensional character and significant dependence on the Reynolds number. However, the unsteady, sectional lift coefficient, obtained through integration of the pressure data, is virtually independent of the spanwise location. The correlation of phase between unsteady pressure signals along the span showed parabolic character of the vortexline at zero angle of attack of the model, but the vortexline tends to be straight and its alignment with the model improves as the angle of attack increases. On the other hand, the presence of end gaps (between the model and tunnel walls) results in a parabolic vortexline at all angles of attack. During the vortex excited oscillations, the familiar 'capture' phenomenon is exhibited where the vortex shedding frequency is controlled by the cylinder vibration over a finite range of wind velocity. Detailed measurements of cylinder and Strouhal frequencies, displacement amplitude and phase angle as functions of wind velocity, cylinder eccentricity and angle of attack provide information which should prove useful during design of such structural members.

Dreams (Part 1)
I am a dreamer.
No longer in my waking hours, but in my catnaps, siestas, and sleep. Each time I nod off (even for just a few seconds), I dream.
These dreams are totally disjointed, incoherent, timeless and aimless. But they are always in spectacular colors.
I meet people I have not seen in years and we converse as though we see each other every day. Then the scene changes to another room, or another field, with different people each time, often under bizarre circumstances. Even my relationships with these characters are switched and sometimes illogical.
On some nights, Tony is my younger brother or grandfather or boss; our home, either a palace, a haunted house, or a shack.
Sometimes, I am suddenly awakened by Tony because he says I am either mumbling or screaming. "Nightmare," he calls them.
"Dreams," I insist.
In those cavalcade of images, people, and events, I experience stories that don't make sense, but some ideas make it to the real stories that I write.
Countless poems have been written about dreams. And every single one is the writer's truth.
With today's brain imaging in sleep labs, dreaming is being probed more deeply. Although scientists have discovered that dreaming occurs in REM sleep, they disagree on what happens during that state.
Some say the emotional part of the brain is activated and the executive part, deactivated.
Some believe that it is a complex interplay between emotional and cognitive information—dreams serve to help our brains process emotional memories and integrate them into our long-term memories. And because "traumatic events are associated with higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, they can cause nightmares."
The debate and studies continue. But as I do when I can't explain a complex phenomenon, I reduce it to one word: grace.
Everything that happens inside my brain (awake or asleep) and in my heart (awake or asleep) come from a deep resource of my being that has been "fearfully and wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14)

Why the heritability of educational achievement is about much more than just intelligence.
The heritability of academic ability isn't just down to intelligence, but a whole range of factors, according to new genetic research.
The study of 13,306 twins found that while intelligence was the most heritable trait, a number of cognitive and behavioural factors predicted academic achievement (Kraphol et al., 2014).
Exam grades were also affected by personality, well-being, self-efficacy (confidence in your own abilities) and behaviour problems.
Behaviour problems, self-efficacy and personality aren't just down to the environment: they are also partly inherited.
Overall, the study found that 62% of differences between children on their exam results at around 16-years-old could be explained by heritable traits.
None of this means that an individual's academic achievement is set in stone; rather it is a way of thinking about how different aspects of our nature are combined.
Eva Krapohl, one of the study's main authors, explained:
"It simply means that children differ in how easy and enjoyable they find learning and that much of these differences are influenced by genetics."
Twin studies like this rely on the fact that twins share roughly the same environment as they grow up.
They have the same parents and family as well as the same school and the same teachers.
Like any other siblings, non-identical twins share 50% of their DNA, but identical twins also share 100% of their DNA.
Using all this information, researchers can work out the relative contributions of the environment and the DNA to educational achievement.
Kaili Rimfeld, who co-authored the study, said:
"…our findings support the idea that a more personalized approach to learning may be more successful than a one size fits all approach.
Finding that educational achievement is heritable certainly does not mean that teachers, parents or schools aren't important.
Education is more than what happens to a child passively; children are active participants in selecting, modifying, and creating their experiences — much of which is linked to their genetic propensities, known in genetics as genotype-environment correlation."

Test Automation
- Continuous integration - Testing after every commit.
- Smoke testing - after we receive new build we check the basic functionality.
- Waterflow model - the QA process is not part of the code creation project.
- Regression testing - after bug is fixed
Which tasks:
- Tedious
Such as regression testing
- Difficult to do manually Such as performance testing
Test tools improve testing consistency and repeatability. Tests can be executed in the same order with the same frequency.
Test Tool Concepts
- support testing
- help in managing the testing process
- Automate activities that can not be executed manually
- Increase reliability of testing
Test Automation Risks
- Unrealistic expectations for the tool
- Make sure people have proper expectations
- Underestimating the time, cost, and effort required to introduce the tool
- Underestimating the time and effort needed to achieve a positive return on investment
- Underestimating the effort required to maintain the tests
Test Automation Strategiesdefine the ways and means for proper and effective usage of tools.
- Think What You Automate
- Automate for the Long Term
- Automate What You'll Use
- Automate What a Human Won't Do Well
Goals of Test Automation
Tests should
- Help us improve quality
- Help us understand the SUT
- Reduce risk
- Be easy to run
- Be easy to write
- Require minimal maintenance as the system evolves around them
- Keep the tests short
- Keep tests independent
- Tests can be executed over and over again and with the same results
- A test is non-deterministic when it passes sometimes and fails sometimes, without any noticeable change in the code, tests, or environment
Keyword-Driven Test Automation
Sequences of keywords (including relevant test data) are used to specify test cases.
Performance Testing Tools
Performance test tools have two main facilities:
- Load generation
Load generation can simulate either multiple users or high volumes of input data
- Measurement and analysis of system response to a given load
Normally provide reports based on test logs and graphs of load against response times

Ever since their mother's death years ago, Vianne and Isabelle have known struggle and heartbreak. Sent away to boarding school by their father, whose spirits faltered after fighting in World War I and losing his wife, the girls clung to each other until Vianne got pregnant and married her boyfriend, Antoine. Isabelle, cast out by both her father and sister, bounces from school to school because her rebellious spirit is no match for the rules and restrictions imposed on her by school administrators. At the outbreak of World War II, Vianne and her daughter Sophie bid farewell to Antoine, who joins the military. Vianne, used to Antoine being the head of the household, worries about her ability to keep her home and family safe when the Germans occupy France. Expelled from yet another school, Isabelle seeks refuge in Paris with her father but finds him as cold and distant as ever. Isabelle hopes to help her father run his bookshop, but he refuses her offer of assistance and sends her packing to Isabelle's home. The sisters' fraught relationship remains as tense as ever, and the terrors of war do nothing to help their fractured bond.
Once reunited, the sisters' personalities immediately clash. A German soldier forcibly quarters himself at Vianne's home, and headstrong Isabelle makes her displeasure known. Vianne, terrified Isabelle's obvious derision for the Captain will put Sophie at risk, takes great pains to accommodate the enemy. Feeling useless and confined, Isabelle finds an outlet for her passionate anti-occupation beliefs by helping the French Resistance distribute pamphlets urging the French to fight back against their German overlords. It is dangerous but thrilling work for Isabelle and she quickly climbs up the ranks. Vianne, meanwhile, develops an unlikely friendship with the Captain. He claims to miss his family and brings home extra rations of food to keep Sophie and Vianne better fed than their neighbors. Vianne appreciates the gesture while also being aware that her actions are traitorous. Isabelle, unable to compromise her morals for the safety of her family and herself, decides to leave Vianne's home to take a more active role in the Resistance.
Through the war, the personality traits that caused the sisters to clash throughout their lives will prove essential to their survival. Will they survive the war and mend their strained relationship?
My Thoughts
The Nightingale was a touching story about relationships between sisters, fathers and daughters, mothers and children, friends, and enemies. It's also about the impossible choices people face during wartime. Standing up for what is right is something we learn throughout our lives, but what would you do if being outspoken could put your family in danger? Vianne and Isabelle take very different courses to solve this dilemma, and both become heroes despite their differences. For those of us who have never lived in an occupied territory during wartime, it's easy to take war stories for granted. We know wartime is terrible in an abstract sense, but it feels like a stretch to connect to the hardships of war. The Nightingale brings the daily hardships and losses of the women left during war to life with great detail. I could feel the physical and emotional pain of Vianne and Isabelle as they pushed themselves to the limit to fight for their causes. I felt their constant fear of being discovered by the Nazis and having their lives torn apart. The Nightingale is an unflinching and emotional glimpse at how the horrors of war can inspire the best in people, no matter how much their personalities and values differ.

I'm on my own personal creative high, so I thought this valentine craft from The Long Thread was really cute. We've made these crayons at our house before using a heart shaped flexible cupcake pan but I like the idea of using the smaller hearts for the Valentines. And let's be straight, you know you have a big ol' box of crayon stubs somewhere just waiting to be repurposed! The bonus is that you can download the free valentine card file and print them on your own computer.

Messages in an E-Bottle
In less than 24 hours after the murder of Bonny Lee Bakley, the internet bulletin boards and chat rooms were buzzing with speculation about the murder. Within that weekend, websites exploiting the details had already begun counting hits. The Bakley murder may not have been the first high-profile case to spawn these reactions, but the World Wide Web played prominently in and outside the courtroom.
Discussion threads appeared on internet service provider sites; business-related sites on entertainment, law, crime, and news; and private party sites and blogs. Internet polls popped up everywhere asking whether readers thought Blake was guilty. Most polls showed public opinion divided 50-50.
Probably the most traveled commercial site was Court TV and its related website, the Smoking Gun. These sites became central for news, web interviews and chats, message boards, video feeds, and a select document repository.
In both criminal and civil courtrooms, litigants and witnesses presented evidence linked directly to the internet.
Brian Allan Fiebelkorn, in the civil trial, said he researched the case using sites such as the Smoking Gun, BakleyMurder.com, and the Court TV message boards. Fiebelkorn came forward with evidence suggesting others were involved in a plot to murder Bakley. Before contacting the LAPD and associates in the Los Angeles Police Commission, Fiebelkorn researched information because he wanted to disprove the information he had, only to find out that what was being reported actually validated his evidence.
Fiebelkorn also testified that he thought the Court TV message board's "private messages" (PM), a limited e-mail function where registered users can send messages to each other, was confidential until he received an angry call from Lead Detective Ron Ito demanding Fiebelkorn explain "Apollo" (the name Fiebelkorn posted under) and a PM to a poster named JulieAnn. The police, apparently, were also monitoring the Court TV message boards.
Dianne Mattson, Christian Brando's "adult babysitter," admitted to corresponding on the internet regarding evidence she had concerning Brando and a key prosecution witness, Ronald Duffy Hambleton. She testified in the civil trial that she contacted police on at least two occasions but didn't get a response. She was then encouraged by someone on an AOL message board to take her story to Blake's defense lawyer at the time, Thomas Mesereau.
Eric Dubin, the Bakley family's civil lawyer, questioned Mattson extensively on her internet activities. He attempted to imply by his tone and the wiggling of his fingers behind his back that Mattson's online conduct was not only improper but that there was something disdainful about it, although nothing in Mattson's testimony referenced any hint of internet indiscretion. Dubin and Mattson sparred over whether she posted on a message board or a chat room, the latter Dubin's assertion although he provided no evidence supporting his accusation. At one point the volleying became so intense that Mattson actually pointed out the online friend with whom she had been corresponding. Her friend had flown out from the East to meet her during the civil trial proceedings and to provide support in the courtroom.
Mattson testified that Brando had received a letter from Bakley in April 2001 in which Bakley enclosed pictures of Blake and the baby. Mattson said Brando became enraged about the pictures. According to police documents, Brando told police that the pictures were a slap in the face. This wasn't the first time this letter became known, it was posted on May 6, 2001, by an anonymous poster on a now defunct website that contained links to news articles about the case.
During the criminal trial preliminary hearing, the State presented evidence that Earle Caldwell, Blake's handyman, used the search term "silencer," implying, according to the prosecution, that Caldwell was researching silencers for the gun used to murder Bakley. The State's own witnesses, however, testified that the murder weapon was not muffled by a silencer, nor had there been any manufactured silencer ever made to fit it.
On the Court TV message boards before the criminal trial started, one poster speculated that a plastic soda bottle may have been used as a make-shift silencer. It was quite an interesting theory considering that Caldwell first testified during the civil trial, well after the criminal trial, that he had seen a movie where a soda bottle was used as a silencer. Caldwell admitted to searching the internet to see if a gun rigged with a soda bottle could actually silence the blast. But that research, according to Caldwell's testimony, was done two years before he met Blake. At the time the poster posted his theory, however, the soda bottle testimony was not public knowledge. Was it possible that one of the principals in the investigation leaked this information in order to see how it would play in public?
Caldwell's emails to his ex-girlfriend, Lisa Johnson, were also offered up as evidence during the preliminary hearing. The e-mails were written after the murder, and Caldwell wrote in one that he was "putting his life on hold to save a life, and not just Robert Blake's." Caldwell explained that he was referring to both Blake and his baby daughter, Rosie. Caldwell also said that Blake was "frazzled" after the murder and Caldwell was helping out.
Eric Dubin, the Bakley estate's attorney, asked Caldwell during his deposition whether Caldwell was posting on the Court TV messages boards as "Diddley Squat." Diddley Squat was a poster who followed the case extensively and had strong opinions about Blake's and Caldwell's innocence. (Caldwell was not Diddley Squat.)
Dubin became a media hound wannabe. He doggedly followed the press around during both trials and the preliminary hearing, trying to do to Blake what he claimed Blake's lawyers had done to Bakley. He had twice made unsuccessful attempts to depose Blake while he was in jail: the first time video-taping an empty chair to which he posed questions and the second, video-taping Blake eating an apple and drinking a glass of milk. At the advice of Blake's lawyer at the time, Thomas Mesereau, Blake was instructed not to answer Dubin.
Still, those videos ended up on the internet and Dubin implied that Blake was hiding from the questions, instead of exercising his Fifth Amendment right.
Consequently, when Dubin was able to depose Blake after his acquittal, he again gave a press conference to announce that he had the evidence he needed, evidence that the police did not have the opportunity to get. He then took snippets of Blake's deposition and released these to the press and the web. It is unclear what Dubin thought was evidence in these snippets. The worst "episode" shown was Blake's lawyer Peter Ezzell, not Blake, banging his fist on the table and threatening to report Dubin to the judge if Dubin couldn't ask proper questions. Only pieces of the deposition were shown to the public, but if Dubin's abusive, incoherent courtroom manner was any indication of his deposition style, Ezzell's outburst was quite understandable.
Dubin didn't stop with Blake. Dubin also released deposition snippets of Blake's first wife, Sondra Kerr, who made accusations of abuse during the marriage which ended in divorce 20 years ago. Unfortunately for Blake, Kerr was barred from being called as a witness regarding their marriage during either the criminal or civil trial, and therefore, Blake was unable to defend himself against her allegations.
Shortly after the deposition of Kerr, a poster named "Depo Man" began commenting on the deposition on the Court TV message boards. This poster claimed to have inside information on the deposition and appeared to be fishing for opinions. It was rumored that Depo Man was actually Eric Dubin. Depo Man went silent when a poster close to the defense turned the postings over to Blake's attorneys.
Dubin later revealed that he was in fact reading the Court TV boards when he protested to Judge Schacter during the civil trial that another poster had written some unfavorable information about Dubin and his family. Dubin asked the judge to bar the poster, who was reporting the testimony on the message boards, from the courtroom. The judge said he had no authority to admonish anyone in that regard, and that Dubin had other recourse if he chose to do so.
Court TV posters who attended the trial avidly criticized Dubin's apparent lack of litigation experience. During his closing argument, Dubin apologized for his courtroom mistakes to the jury. The jury cited that apology during a press conference after they delivered the verdict. Could Dubin have thought to apologize because of the hailstorm of condemnation he received online?
Blake's friends and supporters appeared on internet sites as well. Actress Collette Duvall, Blake's former girlfriend, created a site called the Robert Blake I Know, where she wrote a poignant story about Blake. She later did a web interview on Court TV, where she tried unsuccessfully to defend herself against accusations that Frank Minnucci had made obscene phone calls to her on Blake's request. Minnucci, in testimony, said he did not know Duvall nor did he know the name of the woman whom he called. Duvall had been a victim of a stalker around the time Minnucci claimed to have made the phone calls. Because of the way the press had reported the testimony, she and others jumped to the conclusion that Minnucci was referring to her in his testimony. It was clear from phone record evidence, that Minnucci had totally fabricated his stories.
Jon Solari, another actor who claimed to be Blake's friend, posted his support on the Court TV messages boards until Judge Darlene Schempp, during the criminal trial, asked him to leave the courtroom because he might be called as a witness. Solari yelled, "You're a lying, two-faced punk!" to Blake as he came from the courtroom the next day. Solari made the mistake of asking sympathetic posters on Court TV what they thought of his outburst and they, in turn, turned on him. Solari was never heard from again.
Even the Superior Court of the State of California contributed to the World Wide Web. On its site were select motions filed from both the criminal and civil trials. Sometime during either the criminal or the civil trial, two key motions had been removed from the site: the Response and Opposition to Motion in Limine to Exclude Evidence of the Results of The Prosecution's Oil Testing and Hood Insulator Testing dated 2/2/04 ("Oil Motion"), and the Notice of Motion and Motion to Introduce Evidence of Third Party Culpability dated 10/14/04 ("TPM"), both filed by the defense. In the Oil Motion, the defense opposed a motion by the prosecution to bar testimony regarding 350 pages of test results which were unfavorable to the prosecution's case. None of the tests performed indicated any evidence against Blake, and the defense argued that the tests proved Blake was not the shooter. The TPM outlined an alternate theory on the murder. It is unclear why the Los Angeles Superior Court removed these two motions although its corresponding prosecution motions are still online. Both motions point to Blake's innocence. (A copy of the TPM is available here: Third Party Motion.)
Technology has brought a new meaning to law and the First Amendment. The web introduced a new on-demand form of information, information that persists for years, and is repeated, transformed, and assimilated. Whether this is good or bad, only history will tell. But one thing is certain -- bloggers and posters will be writing that history.

Plus, my laptop seems to be working okay again! Hoping it was just a fluke and it'll never happen again, but I will think twice about cleaning my trackpad from now on.
I've been doing a lot of sketching with colors, and I'm thinking of practicing this technique for the con (sketch commissions). First, some anatomy sketches! I think these were all timed at 2 minutes. And as much as I love using my big sketchbook, scanning things is a major pain because I have to scan each page like 3 times to get everything. :U
Couldn't go to life drawing because it was cancelled for the holidays, but I'm really looking forward to it... I'm seeing a lot of poses I've already drawn (and sometimes I draw them again, oops) since I'm always using the same website. Practice makes perfect I guess, but I'd like some new material! And more males, they are often either too clothed (to the point where you can't see the shape of their body anymore) or have really bad lighting.
OCs blablabla, Azure and Ve'yan proportions what are those? My fault for drawing them on two different days oh well
Some Dragon Age fanart! Have a Fenris and female mage Hawke. C:
This New Year's Eve's probably going to be a quiet one as usual, but I don't mind!

I feel blessed to be able to look out at this beautiful lake we call home, and see wildlife migrating - or living here. The beautiful great blue herons and hawks among them.
Gorgeous red foxes, who dash away before I can take their picture, along with the shy but awesome kingfishers.
My spirit soars with my winged friends.
Cold snap continues this month, so no kayaking yet...but I will be out as soon as we reach the 50's again.
See you on the lake,

Antigua, Jun 11: Rohit Sharma scored a fantastic unbeaten 86 under pressure as India beat West Indies by three wickets to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series here today.
Chasing a target of 226, the visitors were reeling at 92 for six but Rohit (86 not out, 91 balls, 5x4, 2x6) along with senior-pro Harbhajan Singh (41, 64 balls, 1x6, 1x4) added 88 runs as India finally got home rather comfortably with 22 balls to spare.
The last two matches of the series will thus be rendered inconsequential as Rohit kept his composure when the team was in dire straits. He got an able ally in Harbhajan as the two batted with utmost responsbility. They never did anything flashy during their seventh wicket stand that lasted 18.4 overs.
Save Parthiv Patel (46, 56 balls, 4x4, 1x6), none of the top-order batsmen showed intent although Virat Kohli got a poor leg-before decision when the ball seemed to be travelling down leg-side.
Shikhar Dhawan (4) struggled, Subramanium Badrinath (11) went for a non-existent single, Suresh Raina was out to a ugly heave. When Yusuf Pathan was brilliantly caught by Lendl Simmons to reduce India to 92 for six, it looked like all but over for the Men In Blue.
But Rohit had other ideas. Along with Harbhajan, he ran the singles well but didn't forget to punish the loose deliveries in the process. Praveen Kumar (25 no, 14 balls)
provided final flourish after Harbhajan was dismissed. PTI

Six people - including four children - sustained injuries after a two-car crash on the A4085 in Gwynedd.
The crash happened just after 5.15pm on the A4085 betwen Caeathro and Waunfawr on Wednesday evening.
The incident involved a Vauxhall Meriva and a Vauxhall Corsa that were travelling in the opposite direction to each other.
Four children aged between 10-years-old and six-months-old, who were travelling in the Meriva, were taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor by ambulance.
Two are believed to have sustained serious injuries.
The female drivers of both cars sustained serious injuries.

This is a blog about life. About simplicity. About trust. It's about seeing those little things that build faith, though if you're anything like me, they may raise a lot of questions as well. This is a blog about asking the questions and questioning the answers. It will be irreverent, and funny, dark at times, and hard to stomach, confused (when I am), biased but too nonpartisan to make anyone feel at home. And I hope you will still come back, often.
This is a journal of thoughts, ideas and half-finished conversations between strangers, which I hope you will join.

The SPINNER FORJ 1.17 is designed for very harsh environments, being able to withstand extremely strong vibrations, jolts, and shocks as well as humidity and seawater. Its design responds to the needs of offshore and underwater applications and boasts a protection rating of IP68. As a special feature, we provide this single-channel rotary joint with pressure compensation for your deep sea applications at depths down to 4,500 m as the SPINNER FORJ 1.17pc.
For rough industrial environments, SPINNER FORJ 1.22 features a protection rating of IP65 and keeps out dust and humidity. Protective fiber tubing prevents damage to fibers during installation.
SPINNER FORJ Multi-Channel
The SPINNER FORJ 2.25 meets the need for a basic dual-channel, single-mode rotary joint. Its mechanical system makes it very compact. We can supply it with either multi-mode fibers only or a combination of single-mode and multi-mode fibers. IP65 is standard for this version. Smaller diameters are available. For higher rotational speeds version 2.25 is availabe with IP54.
SPINNER FORJ x.40
The SPINNER FORJ x.40 delivers market-leading compactness for multi-channel solutions with up to six channels, with an outer housing diameter of only 39.5 mm. It is available in single-mode, multi-mode, and mixed-fiber mode configurations.
SPINNER FORJ x.60
Ideal for multi-channel applications involving more than six channels, the SPINNER FORJ x.60 covers the full range from seven up to 60 channels. It is available in single-mode, multi-mode, and mixed-fibermode configurations.
SPINNER FORJ x.65pc
For use under the very harshest environmental conditions, the pressure compensated SPINNER FORJ x.65 is designed for the use in deepsea applications and withstands brutal vibrations and shocks, high humidity, and seawater. Its IP68-rated design meets the needs of offshore and military applications. Available for 2 to 8 channels in single-mode fiber configurations.

text: For Valentine's Day I was lucky enough to be treated to John's homemade meatloaf. Isn't he cute when he cooks? He also gave me a lovely bouquet of roses and carnations. And for dessert I made a chocolate cake from scratch, no less. I get impatient and frost too soon which led to the top sliding off the bottom but it was all fixed with more icing. It tasted pretty good!

I don't actually watch a ton of TV, its usually on for background noise. The laptop is my saviour, I am totally addicted to both the bump & blogs. Not only my blog but others. I have very receantly taken to one in particular, that has led to many tears & admiration for a very strong man with a beautiful daughter. If your interested check it out http://www.mattlogelin.com
My kitty Calvin certainly loves having me home as well as my new set up. His days are spent curled up with me, he is certainly a momma's boy. He has really taken to cur one or around my belly, Little Bear moves liek crazy when he does this, I wonder if he can sense the little movements inside me. This is him perched on my lap, his paws lovingly curled aroound my bump. We love to snuggle.
Clothing is becoming an issue. I have a small collection of presentable clothes, I hate to waste these on days in bed with my cat. I usually stay in jammies (a clean pair each day). I only have a VERY limited number of these that still fit, often "fit" means belly partially exposed. Well, with my inability to do laundry these simetimes all end up dirty. So I was forced this week (as seen in this picture) to resort to wearing Les' t-shirts with on a good day a pair of my sweats that I still fit in, or on a bad day, a pair of his shorts/boxers, its hot.

A 'phenomenal' show based around racy novel 50 Shades of Grey is coming to South Tyneside next month.
The production, called 50 Shades of Blue, will be on at the Customs House, in Mill Dam, South Shields, on Friday, September 25.
It's a phenomenal show with exhilarating dancers and singers, and has taken the North East by storm so farAmy Pink
There will be a comedy twist, and among those performing will be former Britain's Got Talent contestant Lee Brannigan as his alter ego Bella Bluebell, and members of the Kathleen Knox School of Dance, in Sunderland.
The show has been on at other venues in the North East, but is expected to attract its biggest audience yet at the Customs House.
Amy Pink, who is involved with producing the show, said: "This is a comedy production based around hit novel and film 50 Shades of Grey.
"There is nothing similar in the North East to this show. It's a unique production.
"The fantastic Lee Brannigan will lead the show, and it is also great to have the dancers from a very talented dance school, Kathleen Knox School of Dance, on board to perform.
"It's a phenomenal show with exhilarating dancers and singers, and has taken the North East by storm so far. It's a must-see for all theatre lovers, and is filled with dancing, singing and comedy."
Meanwhile, at the event, there will be bucket collections for South Shields-based charity the Charlie Cookson Foundation, which provides financial support to parents of seriously ill children with life-limiting conditions.
The charity was set up by Charlie's parents Sarah and Chris in the two-year-old's memory after his death in 2013 from a mystery medical condition.
Amy added: "Sarah Cookson is an absolutely incredible and inspiring woman who raises funds to help families and children with serious illnesses. She's an absolute credit to the North East."
The show is for those aged 18 and over, and will start at 7.15pm. Tickets cost £14 for adults and £13 for concessions, and can be booked by calling the Customs House box office on 0191 454 1234.

Back in the 1960s, Hugo Kumitz had a tile and marble company in Memphis. His top employee was a man named Thomas Cox.
After several years, Kumitz had a suggestion for Cox that bordered on an order: Go out on your own, Kumitz told him, you're too good at this to not start your own company.
And so in 1968, Cox founded Memphis Tile and Marble Co.
Memphis Tile and Marble Co. president Ricky Cox is celebrating the business's 50th anniversary. (Memphis News/Houston Cofield)
Today, as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary, son Ricky Cox is the president and runs the show. Ricky's two older brothers chose other careers, one recently retiring after 35 years in corporate with UPS, and the other still operating a restaurant public relations firm in California.
Dad, Ricky says, still helps out. But at 76, Thomas Cox can afford to set his own boundaries and he does: He'll run a job for his son if it's close to his home, in the same ZIP code.
The industry has changed dramatically with each passing decade. In fact, Ricky Cox, 45, says, "Back in the '90s were the best years. Dad ran 10 crews. He had 25 or 30 employees. It was a much bigger company. We do half of what he used to do. Honestly, I don't know how he did it. Man, he was working 16-hour days."
Cox says his days are closer to 12 hours. The work is still hard, the business is still competitive, but in a different way. One decision the elder Cox made has continued to pay dividends for the company. He became very involved with the National Tile Contractors Association, even sitting on the board for a couple of years.
The company has continued a close relationship with NTCA, and recently Ricky and three of his employees earned advanced certification on installing ceramic tile.
"It's a test and it's not easy," Cox said. "A guy that's been laying tile for two years couldn't pass it."
That level of expertise in combination with the company's 50-year track record and relationships have kept business at a good level, even though the company today has 12 employees.
Ryan McClain, owner of McClain Construction, strictly does remodeling jobs. He's been using Memphis Tile and Marble Co. for several years.
"They show up when they say they'll be there," McClain said. "The people he has working are all respectful. If there's an issue after the fact, they come back and take care of the issue."
When Ricky's father got the business really going, cultured marble – a man-made material – was very popular. Cox says no grout was used so it was easy to clean.
"That's why everybody liked it," he said. "But nobody does it anymore. It all transitioned to tile and the tiles are getting bigger. When I started out the biggest tile was an 8-by-8. And now they're making porcelain tile 10 foot by 5 foot. Mainly for commercial walls."
In February, Cox made a bid for a major tile installation job at the Criminal Justice Center Downtown. Cox says 85 percent of their work is residential, 15 percent light commercial. The company does a lot of work with builders on luxury homes, say 8,000 to 10,000 square feet.
A home that size might have five bathrooms in the main house plus another in a pool house. That's a lot of places for tile. Plus, kitchens aren't just kitchens anymore. Formica gave way to Corian, which was supplanted by granite, which now has major competition from quartz. Countertops matter.
"Now quartz is the hot item," Cox said. "It's high-end. You're not putting it in a tract home. They'll spend 50, 60 grand on tile and countertops (in a luxury home). That's somebody that's got a designer and wanting to pick out the highest-end materials you can find."
He can't – and won't – try to match what Lowe's is offering.
"There's no way I can compete with Lowe's. They advertise $35 a square foot installed for granite, have three or four colors, and sub out to somebody that can do it for nothing because they can get all their work. We do everything here in-house. I can stand behind the work."
McClain appreciates that and that Cox is forever looking ahead.
"He's cutting-edge with the technology," McClain said. "He's always looking for a better way to do things, if there is one."

Descenders Improperly Hidden in IE9+
Issue #13590596 • Assigned to firstname.lastname@example.com
Steps to reproduce
I'm currently facing an issue where descenders are getting cut off from some lines: https://jsfiddle.net/ywsmo6k2/5/
If it happened to all the lines, I would just accept this as an Internet Explorer/Edge quirk and work around that, but the fact that it only happens to some lines at a regular interval makes me think that it's an unintended bug.
Any advice on how to unimpactfully remedy this issue would be appreciated.

New Import CD: Tryin' To Get To Tahoe
E.P. Collector has announced a new CD; Tryin' To Get To Tahoe. This contains an audience record of the Opening Show in Lake Tahoe on May 16, 1974.
E.P. Collector har annonsert en ny CD; Tryin' To Get To Tahoe. Denne inneholder et publikumsopptak av åpningsshowet i Lake Tahoe den 16. mai 1974.
From the label; Out soon from the E.P. Collector label is the 'Tryin' To Get To Tahoe' recorded at the Lake Tahoe, NV, May 16, 1974 Opening show. Elvis' spring '74 shows were consistently strong, and the May concerts in Lake Tahoe were no exception. Elvis' shows there were solid and entertaining, and he was in particularly good voice. The set lists offered a wide variety of music, and Elvis' commitment and enthusiasm made these intimate shows very memorable for those who were lucky enough to attend them. The show on this CD has never been released in any form, and this very decent, digitally restored audience recording gives you a unique perspective of what it was like to experience him in person in Lake Tahoe during this engagement. The CD is packaged in a nicely designed digipack with rare Lake Tahoe, May '74 cover shot and collection of "Peacock" images taken in Cleveland show on June 21st, 1974.
Track List; Opening Vamp / C. C. Rider - I Got A Woman / Amen - Love Me - Tryin' To Get To You - All Shook Up - Teddy Bear / Don't Be Cruel - Love Me Tender - Steamroller Blues - Hound Dog - Fever - Polk Salad Annie - Why Me Lord?
