Our federal court and appellate work has led to many precedential decisions around the country, sometimes changing the law for the better for our clients.
Below is a brief summary of some of our appellate work:
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals –
Tula-Rubio v. Lynch, 787 F.3d 288 (2015) – In this case our client was a permanent resident being charged with removability for committing a crime. He was eligible for "cancellation of removal" under INA 240A(a) which requires someone to have been (a) a permanent resident for five years (before the crime) and (b) present in the United States for at least seven years after being "admitted in any status." At his court hearing, the judge decided that while our client had been in the United States more than seven years, his "wave-through" admission wasn't an admission in "any status." The Fifth Circuit held that a wave-through was an "admission," and that "any status" was not a term of limitation – any admission is an admission in "any status." Thus, Mr. Tula-Rubio was eligible for cancellation of removal.
Lari v. Holder, 697 F.3d273 (5th Cir. 2012) – This was an appeal of a denied motion to reopen, which focused on whether the "departure bar" was binding when an immigrant was deported after he filed his motion. The Fifth Circuit held that immigrants have a statutory right to file one motion to reopen and that the "departure bar," which was created by regulation and is not part of the statute, was not consistent with the immigration statute. Because the court held that the statute was clear, it said an immigrant who files a motion to reopen or motion to reconsider has the right to have his motion heard, even if he gets deported while it's pending.
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals –
Gonzalez–Vega v. Lynch, 839 F.3d 738 (8th Cir. 2016) – The Eighth Circuit concluded that it had jurisdiction to review decisions regarding administrative closure, and it remanded to the BIA to consider in the first instance whether to administratively close the case, because the BIA had not addressed that question when it was asked to previously.
Bremer v. Johnson, 834 F.3d 925, 929 (8th Cir. 2016) – Remanding for the District Court to resolve whether the Adam Walsh Act applies only to the filing of visa petitions (rather than the adjudication of visa petitions). The implication is that if the AWA only prohibits the filing of certain visa petitions, then it doesn't apply to visa petitions that have already been filed and receipted. "We agree with the Bremers that whether Mr. Bremer's petition has already been filed, and if so, whether Clause (viii) is inapplicable, are predicate legal questions over which the district court has jurisdiction."
Limbeya v. Holder, 764 F.3d 894 (8th Cir. 2014) – This appeal addressed the "frivolous asylum" issue. The lower court had held that a false statement about the name of the person who prepared the form made the whole application frivolous, and thus that the applicant was forever barred from all immigration relief. On appeal we argued that the statute requires the false statements to be "material" to the application before a frivolousness determination could be made. The Eighth Circuit held that writing the wrong name down for the form's preparer was not "material" and thus that the frivolousness finding was in error.
Omondi v. Holder, 674 F.3d 793 (8th Cir. 2012) – In an asylum appeal, the Eighth Circuit rejected the lower court's findings about the availability of corroborative evidence. The case raised the question of what happens when the court finds the asylum applicant's testimony credible but says he still needs to provide corroborative evidence. We argued that in some cases, that kind of evidence doesn't exist. And the statute says it can only be required if it's actually available. The Eighth Circuit agreed and granted the appeal, sending the case back to the BIA to address the availability of such evidence and problems with the transcript.
Flores v. Holder, 699 F.3d 998 (8th Cir. 2012) – In this appeal, the Immigration Judge had held that the murder of the immigrant's family was not "persecution" of him. The Eighth Circuit reversed, holding that harm directed at family members may amount to persecution of an individual if it is part of a pattern directed at the applicant. The court also reversed a finding that the immigrant was "lying" about what his name was, given that he had legally changed it under Kansas law years prior to his hearing.
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals –
Gatimi v. Holder, 578 F.3d 611 (7th Cir. 2009) – The Seventh Circuit considered whether people who had left a religious group called "the Mungiki" would amount to a "particular social group," given that these former members were targeted, as a group, for persecution. The court held that this was a particular social group and that the BIA's requirement of "social visibility" made no sense. Finally, the court held that persecution of Mr. Gatimi's wife would amount to persecution of him, and the court remanded the case to the BIA.
Marin-Rodriguez v. Holder, 612 F.3d 591 (7th Cir. 2010) – In an appeal that addressed the "departure bar," the Seventh Circuit held that the agency wasn't allowed to limit its own jurisdiction on issues Congress had designated as being within its jurisdiction. On that basis, the court held that the "departure bar" regulations did not deprive the BIA of "jurisdiction" to consider a motion to reconsider even though the immigrant was deported while the motion was pending.
Villatoro-Lopez v. Holder, 445 Fed.Appx (7th Cir. 2011) – This is an unpublished decision where the Seventh Circuit concluded that the transcript of the hearing was inadequate.
Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals –
Musau v. Carlson, 499 Fed.Appx. 837, 2012 WL 4903251 (10th Cir. 2012) – This is the first Court of Appeals decision in the country to find that immigrants could pursue their right to "witness protection" under the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UN-TOC) by filing a petition for writ of habeas corpus, given that they could not ask for such protection in immigration court.
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals –
Alphonsus v. Holder, 705 F.3d 1031 (9th Cir. 2013) – The Ninth Circuit rejected a finding by the BIA that resisting arrest under the California statute was a "particularly serious crime." Crimes deemed "particularly serious" make an immigrant ineligible for asylum and withholding of removal. It's a tricky issue, because the statute deems some crimes "particularly serious" and others are left for the agency to figure out. The BIA had said that the immigrant running from police officers was "particularly serious." But because that phrase has traditionally been limited to crimes where actual danger is likely, the agency hadn't explained why running from a police officer qualified.
Voluntary Remands
In addition to published cases, our appellate work has led to a number of voluntary remands. When an immigrant files an appeal in Federal Circuit Court, they must file a compelling opening brief outlining the reasons the appeal should be granted. Normally the Department of Justice then has to file its brief, explaining why the appeal should not be granted. But in many cases, when the DOJ receives an opening brief that clearly outlines a compelling reason to reverse the BIA's decision, they will agree to move to "remand" the case to the BIA, rather than prepare and file a brief defending the BIA's decision. Although those cases don't lead to a published decision with the Circuit Court rejecting the BIA's decision, the result is the same. The immigrant "wins" and the case goes back to the BIA to reconsider its past decision. Our appellate work has led to "voluntary" remands in a number of cases in various Circuit Courts around the country.

Have just returned home to Essex from a long trip. There is a killdeer nesting in the stones on my patio. Because I have a good pair of brand new binoculars, when she is off the nest, I can see that she has four eggs. I try not to disturb her too much. She gets up and moves off when I come out on to the porch, then she sneaks and creeps back in quick little steps interrupted by suspicious halts and backwards jerks of her head. Snookie my dog wants to sit on the porch. I let him because this is his home and he's always been allowed to sit there. The bird will have to habituate to us if this is going to work out for everyone.
I picked Lucky because he survived 10 days below zero degrees. He also survived half-buried in snow, so that makes him a tough puppy!
These animals were best friends. When they were babies they didn't know they were supposed to be enemies. I chose to paint them because they are super cute.

Marcel Van Herk public CV
Marcel Van Herk, PhD, MSc, BSc
Chair in Radiotherapy Physics, Division of Cancer Sciences (L5)
Emailmarcel.vanherkmanchester.acuk
Radiotherapy Related Research, University of Manchester, c/o The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Dept 58, Floor 2A, Wilmslow Road, Withington
M20 4BX Manchester
Professor of Radiotherapy Physics. This is a joint post between the University of Manchester and the Christie. Marcel is responsible for developing a programme of international leading radiotherapy physics research and innovation to deliver direct patient benefits. The main focus is on accuracy of radiotherapy including target volume definition, treatment planning, image guidance and treatment follow-up.
Work Stream 4 for NCRI Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research (CTRad) Working Group
Professor Marcel van Herk joined the University of Manchester on the 1st of April 2015 as new chair in radiotherapy physics. He is currently setting up a research group focussing on improving the accuracy of radiotherapy. As his work heavily involves implementation of research into clinical practice, he has an honorary appointment at the Christie.
He has been active in radiotherapy and worked at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) since 1982. As a medical physics student he started on the development of a liquid ionization imaging device that later became the Varian PortalVision system for electronic portal imaging. During his PhD at the NKI, the detector was further developed and commercialized and the focus of the work shifted to image processing, correction procedures and margins. Starting during a Postdoc at Harvard Medical School, USA in 1992, his work incorporated 3D image processing, first CT-MR image registration for treatment planning, later measuring organ motion and other uncertainties in radiotherapy such as delineation variability. Much of this work has been integrated in the Elekta Synergy cone-beam CT image guidance system developed jointly in a consortium with Elekta and David Jaffray. For the past 10 years, he also held a part-time teaching role as a Professor at the University of Amsterdam working amongst others at the integration of microscopic optical imaging into radiotherapy treatment planning.
His goal is to do research to improve the clinical practice of radiotherapy in Christie, UK and the world. To achieve this he feels we need to perform first class research, speedy clinical implementation and collaborate with industry to bring our ideas to the market.
Marcel has (co-) authored more than 190 papers in peer reviewed journals.

ABSs and fixed fees are answer to charities' legal advice deficit, says consumer panel report
Posted by Legal Futures
Davies: information needs to be better co-ordinated and signposted
Alternative business structures (ABSs) could be decisive in helping smaller charities access legal advice with fixed fees, according to research which shows many lack understanding of their legal needs and cannot afford solicitors.
The study, commissioned by the Legal Services Consumer Panel (LSCP), said there could be a gap in the market to service this sector. It surveyed 812 decision-makers in charities with an income of under £1m – which is representative of well over 85% of the UK's more than 160,000 charities.
The study's purpose was to discover the extent to which small charities understand their legal needs, what the barriers are to accessing legal advice, and to highlight the levels of satisfaction among those bodies which do obtain legal help.
The research found that half of the charity executives consulted had little or no understanding of laws applying to them, and that many would use a solicitor if they could afford to. When they did, they were overwhelmingly satisfied or very satisfied with the service (84%) and just 4% were dissatisfied.
Even the smallest charities were found to have "a wide range of legal obligations", ranging from compliance with laws on trustees, constitutional matters and investments, to property and employment matters. More than a third of small charities (37%) would choose to use a solicitor as a first port of call, but almost the same number (36%) named cost as a barrier.
Just under a third (32%) said they paid full rate for their solicitor, with 24% paying a reduced rate and 20% receiving pro bono advice. There is strong reliance on the Charity Commission and umbrella bodies for access to free information and support, but there is concern that funding cuts may reduce the ability of these organisations to maintain this provision. Pro bono work is greatly appreciated, but the smallest charities find it difficult to obtain this or attract legally trained trustees.
Elisabeth Davies, the panel's chairwoman, said: "Small charities tell us they are drowning in information and struggle to know what their legal responsibilities are. Although there are some useful guides, information needs to be better co-ordinated and signposted.
"It's great news that small charities are pleased with the service they receive from solicitors, but cost prevents many from accessing this advice at all. Where pro bono advice is not available, they want fixed-fee services to give them much-needed certainty about what buying legal advice will cost."
The authors of the study, which was carried out for the panel by MVA Consultancy, said ABSs could help charities in future by emphasising a "consumer-friendly, fixed-fee approach", which they pointed out was already a model adopted by new groupings of lawyers such as QualitySolicitors, HighStreetLawyer and face2face Solicitors.
They speculated: "There may be a place in this market for a provider that focuses on cost-effective charity specialist advice. Competition from these new providers will in turn force traditional firms to rethink their marketing and pricing strategies, which could also be to the benefit of small charities."
The authors recommended incentives be put in place to stimulate more pro bono work, "such as recognition of such work as continuing professional development", and creating new awards for providers.
At the same time, it was suggested, measures should be adopted to "ensure that pro bono work provided to charities is of sufficient quality". This could involve enhanced supervision of junior staff and monitoring of satisfaction levels with the service.
The legal profession should also be encouraged to "recognise small charities as a key consumer of legal services", and address their concerns about value for money and transparency of pricing, the authors said.
Sam Younger, chief executive of the Charity Commission, welcomed the research. "Charities often need legal advice, not just about charity law but other matters such as health and safety or employment law. Whilst it is concerning that some smaller charities are unaware of when they need to seek advice, it is perhaps unsurprising that they struggle to keep abreast of all the issues they need to know about."

Many years ago when I was a student pursuing my Master's Degree in Library and Information Science, I was introduced to Russell Freedman's stellar non-fiction and biographical accounts for young people. One of Freedman's books that made a lasting impression on me was his Newbery award-winning photobiography of President Lincoln. Freedman presents a well-rounded portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the very real and complicated man, not just the legends and myths previously spun for children's literature. Lincoln was a man of great contrasts: he had a rollicking wit and sense of humor as well as terrible bouts of depression; he had little formal "eddication" but became an eloquent public speaker and a great writer whose words continue to live on; even though he is venerated and honored today as a hero, he was vilified during the war years.
With clear prose and with photographs and other primary documents, Freedman takes the reader through Lincoln's tumultuous life from his humble beginnings, to his presidential ambitions, the complex issues surrounding the Civil War, and finally, to his assassination. One touching part among many shows four portraits taken of Lincoln during the war years. You can see how the pressure and anxieties of that terrible time become etched into his craggy visage. Freeman concludes with a "Lincoln Sampler" of quotations and letter excerpts, a listing of historic sites, a bibliography and an index.
Although published 20 years ago, this title still remains a very relevant, well-organized, and thoughtful biography that both children and adults may enjoy.

Harvard University President Faust has penned a highly readable and fascinating account of the changes in American attitudes and culture following America's Civil War (1861-65.) As we celebrate Memorial Day this week, how many of us realize that this holiday was originally started in the wake of the Civil War as "Decoration Day," a day on which people would go to military cemeteries and decorate the graves of the war dead? By the 20th century, with more war dead in our growing military and civilian cemeteries, the holiday had become Memorial Day, and today serves as a time in which to honor not only our military dead, but to adorn the graves of our family members and friends as well.
The American Civil War spawned carnage on an unprecedented level in the four years it lasted. Over 600,000 soldiers died in the conflict — approximately 2% of the population. Today, this would represent a death toll of 6 million Americans…an almost unimaginable number. Faust's book takes a closer look at how this war changed the way we think about death, and especially how we treat and honor our war dead. Before the Civil War there was no system of military cemeteries, and no plan for the government to take responsibility for the remains of those that fell on the battlefield. There was no way to identify soldiers or to reliably notify family members of their loss. The Civil War and its enormous toll created far more than a political crisis, it created a moral, religious and existential crisis for the nation as well, and the aftermath is deeply explored in this book.
Beautifully written, meaningful and insightful, this title is for anyone interested in cultural history, the Civil War, or the American story.

Nottingham Forest star Arvin Appiah advises students of Buckswood Football Academy
Arvin Appiah visits Buckswood Football Academy.
Kwesi Appiah
Nottingham Forest star Arvin Appiah visited students of the Buckswood Football Academy last week to advice them.
The students and staff were excited for the arrival of the 18-year-old.
Appiah was shown around campus and had the chance to watch some football training and meet some of the Buckswood players.
Appiah scored on his professional debut for Forest, against Burton Albion, last October.
He has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.
Co-principal Michael Shaw said: ''Being a huge Nottingham Forest supporter myself, it was great to meet Arvin. He is a very humble young man whose progress is as much down to his character as a person as his undoubted football ability.
''He spoke to our players about the dedication and commitment needed to succeed in the game, and at school, and also recognised the excellent results our academy has achieved in recent years.''

Boosie Badazz Reportedly Wants To File A Lawsuit Against Mark Zuckerberg
Todd Malm Dec 5, 2020 6:12 PM PST
Source: AllBlackMedia.com
Boosie Badazz has continued to find himself in the headlines for a number of reasons over the last few months, some positive, and some negative. Regardless, the rapper is clearly a fan favorite because whenever he speaks, people want to listen.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Boosie Badazz had his Instagram account completely terminated, which was a big deal to him due to his various endorsements and alternative income streams.
While the reason for his account's termination was never revealed, most have assumed it was due to the promotion of his OnlyFans account. Afterward, Boosie said he was going to file a lawsuit against the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, for unfairly deleting his account.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, the rapper's Instagram, however, was fairly X-rated, including close-up shots of barely clothed women and images of their genitals. The rapper says they sent him emails back in April threatening to ban him permanently if he continued to show "p*ssy."
Apparently, they weren't kidding because his account was subsequently taken down. Either way, Boosie managed to get another account in the ensuing months, although he had to use a different name and handle.
He's still mad about losing his old account as well, claiming that he was going to file a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, which he already said he would do in September. According to Badazz, it was unfair because many other people had done far worse things than he did, but yet he wasn't allowed to start a new account.
The rapper went on to say that it was "discrimination," and something was clearly "wrong" with how he was being treated. As it was noted above, Boosie lost some of his income streams when his account was terminated a few months back.
He used to advertise and market for a chicken wing restaurant, which apparently made him a decent amount of money. As most know, it has been a hard time for performing artists this year because concerts have been completely shut down, leaving entertainers without as many income streams.

The Soft-FX Aggregator is a software solution for liquidity aggregation from various external and internal sources within a single view. It supports different combinations of currencies, order types and tiered pricing. This advanced solution makes it possible for organizations to manage their liquidity so that the numerous combinations for best execution and smart order routing could be set up according to specific rules defined by each firm. It is very important for organizations that want to build up their own liquidity network and fully.
Clearing accounts opened with liquidity providers are connected to the Aggregator via an API, and each account has a unique portal in the Aggregator. So, the current Market Depth data from each LP is combined with the current liquidity from your own company clients. This approach helps to considerably reduce the spread and increase liquidity by combining the volumes of offer from different LPs.
The Aggregator receives and processes information about demand and offer of different LPs and ensures clients` order execution at the best possible bid or offer price available on the market. All orders are routed directly to the best liquidity provider price. The Aggregator gives all traders equal and anonymous access to the inter-bank marketplace, optimizing marketability for all participants.
the Aggregator is implemented in C++ which leads to high performance.
To view demo version of the product as well as to get more detailed information about it a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) must be signed.
risk management and balancing. Filters automatically redirect traders` requests from one bank to another in the case of margin overload on the clearing account. Margin overload on the clearing account may occur in the situation when one bank provides better ASK than other banks do and another bank provides better BID. In this case all "buy" requests are forwarded to the first bank and all "sell" requests are sent to the second one. As far as the Feeder receives information about clearing accounts equity, the filters are easily eliminating situation with margin overload.
protection. Filters remove incorrect banks quotes; delay and/or skip any large-scale price changes and spikes.
The Aggregator manager has an access to the filters configuration and can change filter settings according to his own requirements. Processed quotes are used by the Bridge for trade allocation.
The Bridge is the system component that allows for any transaction placed in the MT4, MT5 and any other platform to be executed via FIX API by an external liquidity provider.
As soon as information about transactions from trading platform is obtained, the Bridge sends a request to the liquidity providers to ensure full available volume execution at the best available price. After receiving confirmation of the operation completion, the Bridge sends the information to the trading Server via API. Integrated multi -level protection system prevents from unexpected aberrant behavior of any connected LP or MT4/MT5 server. Flexible notification system informs through e-mail or sms about any system failure.
The AdminEye is a unique application to manage the Aggregator and monitor its functionality. The AdminEye application allows monitoring the availability of the server resources, diagnosing the system components, managing liquidity channels and trading terms.
The AdminEye provides you with information about equity, free margin, margin level on every clearing account opened with connected Liquidity Provider so that you could easily manage your risks. With the AdminEye application you are able to get detailed recording of all order execution steps for each single order. For risk management and work optimization with a liquidity provider the reporting system is essential. Reports generated by the program provide you with full information on the execution speed and quality, bank executed quantity, price deviation; you may also generate different types of reports from МТ4 server and all these can be done from the unique aggregator management system – AdminEye. Flexible configuration system enables you to tune the Bridge and the Feeder according to your individual specific requirements.

La Venjança Catalana fou la guerra d'extermini i saqueig sistemàtic endegada per la Companyia Catalana d'Orient contra la població civil grega de l'Imperi Romà d'Orient entre els anys 1305 i 1307, en venjança i represàlia per l'assassinat a traïció de Roger de Flor i l'intent d'anihilació de la Companyia mentre aquesta es trobava acantonada a Gal·lípoli.

El terror provocat en la població civil grega se servà en el record popular. El tema de la Venjança Catalana fou reproduït en diverses obres de caràcter polític a fi d'estimular les accions bèl·liques catalanes, tal com succeí durant la Guerra Gran. A nivell literari, Antonio García Gutiérrez escrigué un drama, Venganza catalana (1864), que en mistificava el sentit i l'equiparava a les conquestes dels castellans a Sud-amèrica.

Els fets han tingut repercussions en el llenguatge actual. Mentre que en albanès katala significa 'monstre' i s'utilitza per a espantar els nens, en grec existeix una maledicció que desitja que «Així t'arribi la venjança catalana».

Fets
Passat l'hivern del 1305 i abans de continuar la campanya per Anatòlia, Roger de Flor es va desplaçar a Adrianòpolis per acomiadar-se del fill de l'emperador, Miquel, sense adonar-se de la traïció que aquest estava tramant. Durant el sopar de comiat, un grup de grecs i alans van assassinar el cabdill almogàver i tota la seva escorta. Al mateix temps, almogàvers i comerciants catalans eren atacats per sorpresa arreu de l'imperi. Fins i tot, una ambaixada catalana que pretenia negociar la pau fou anihilada.

Des del seu quarter d'hivern a Gal·lípoli, el gruix de l'exèrcit almogàver va superar el setge inicial, i un cop assegurada la posició, sortiren comandats per Berenguer d'Entença a satisfer el seu afany de venjança.

Aleshores començava la famosa Venjança Catalana. Passaren amb sang i foc per les viles i ciutats sense respectar vides ni béns i escampant el terror arreu. En el decurs d'aquesta campanya de venjança, fou pres i empresonat a Gènova en Berenguer d'Entença. Reunits altre cop a Gal·lípoli, i ja amb Bernat de Rocafort com a nou cabdill, els almogàvers decidiren plantar cara a l'exèrcit romà d'Orient.

Els almogàvers van enfonsar els seus vaixells al port (al crit famós de: «Cremem les nostres naus!») per evitar la temptació de fugir, i així resistiren el setge a què eren sotmesos. De cop, les tropes catalanes es llançaren sobre l'exèrcit romà d'Orient acampat als afores de la ciutat. El xoc fou brutal, però els almogàvers acabaren triomfant i derrotant els romans d'Orient. La follia venjativa dels almogàvers estengué el terror per tot l'imperi. El lloc on havien estat assaltats els ambaixadors catalans fou arrasat i cap home, dona, vell, nen, ni animal va ser deixat amb vida. La ira caigué també sobre els alans, còmplices en l'assassinat de Roger de Flor; molts d'ells, conscients del que els esperava, decidiren matar ells mateixos les seves pròpies dones i fills abans que caiguessin a mans dels catalans.

Cita de Bernat de Rocafort:

En l'actualitat
La presència de la Companyia va deixar una empremta en el folklore i el llegendari popular de les diferents regions on passaren (àrea Balcànica i Grècia). Val a dir que part d'aquest substrat ha arribat fins a l'actualitat i que gran part d'aquest (si no tot), a causa de la devastació provocada pels almogàvers, és de caràcter negatiu.

De la regió de Tràcia, ens arriba el famós refrany : , tramès per Montcada.

A Bulgària, les expressions "Català" i "Fill català" signifiquen "home malvat, sense ànima, torturador". Aquesta mala fama arribà a transcendir els límits del folklore per a influir en poetes com Ivan M. Vazoz, qui en el poema Pirates, publicat per primer cop l'any 1915, cita els catalans al costat dels turcs com els majors opressors de la nació búlgara.

A Tessàlia, l'expressió «Ets un Català!» era proferida com a insult fins a finals del .

A Grècia:
 A Atenes, els nens d'aquesta ciutat acompanyaven el seu joc amb la següent cançó insultant:
"Franc, vareg,"pitsi" català,  et rentes, et pentines, i amb merda t'empastifes"
 A la regió de Parnàs, es recollí el refrany : "Vaig fugir dels turcs per caure en mans dels catalans".
 A l'illa d'Eubea, se sap que en la primera meitat del  la paraula "català" era proferida a la regió de Kàristos com a insult, i es té documentada la utilització d'una forma aberrant d'aquest mot com a renom sarcàstic:
 "Catalós. Renom d'un camperol desvagat del poble de Pirgos, a la regió de Kàristos.(...). A vegades es doná a aquells a qui es vol insultar"
 A Hipati (Patres, capital del Ducat de Neopàtria) encara hi són presents moltes maledicències, llegendes i cançons.
Quant a toponímia al proper poble de Milees, hi ha un rierol que porta per nom Català.
Refranys i dites:
"Que et vegi sota l'espasa d'un català".
"El grec es rentava i el català s'emmerdava", en referència a la brutor dels catalans (tret que és força emprat, en tota Grècia, per descriure els catalans).
En referència a la irreverència dels catalans vers la religió, hi trobem diferents exemples:
"El català menja carn fins i tot en Divendres Sant",
"Dejuna com el català", per referir-se a qui no dejuna.
En el cançoner popular, també hi són presents diferents exemples:
 A la balada popular La maledicció de l'abandonada, entre les calamitats que desitja la protagonista a qui l'ha abandonada, hi apareixen els versos següents:
"Que caiguis sota espases franques i en mans de catalans,que et lliguin les mans amb unes manilles i t'estrenyin el coll amb un garrot".
Cançó de bressol cantada fins fa poc a Hipati:
"Surt el sol per Arta i il·lumina tota Patres.Senyor sol i rei,dona'm força i coratgeper cenyir-mes set espasesi lluitar contra els francs,contra els francs i els varegs,contra els gossos catalans.Gos català,no dejunes el divendres,ni dejunes el dissabte,quan Crist és a la tomba.Els fills de la Romàniasón com lleons en el seu cor,són com lleons, són com falcons,són com els dofins del mar".

Així mateix, a la regió de Mani, al sud de Lacònia, es conserva un record admiratiu dels almogàvers i el mot català fou utilitzat a vegades com a nom propi; com a exemple, al poble de Piondes (Làguia) existia fins fa ben poc una família amb el cognom "Català".
A la regió peloponèsia de l'Argòlide, "catalana" era el pitjor insult que es podia dir a una dona, com es posa de manifest en l'expressió "Ah, catalana, mil torts m'has fet".

A l'actual Albània:
El mot «català» (en albanès katallan) significa «home lleig i dolent».
Així mateix per «català» (katallan) es designa, en el folklore albanès, un monstre amb un sol ull, que recorda en molts aspectes el ciclop Polifem. Aquest ciclop apareix representat com un ferrer salvatge que s'alimenta de carn humana, sense genolls, per la qual cosa no es pot ajupir, i amb cames llargues com pals de vaixell. A ell, s'hi enfronta un jove heroi anomenat Dedaliya, que el venç amb ajut de la seva astúcia. Aquesta tradició, en diferents versions, s'anomena normalment amb el títol de Dedalia dhe Katallani (Dedalia i el Català).

Geneva, Switzerland, 11 April -- The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) have announced the 2016 Heine H. Hansen (HHH) Award recipient as Suresh Senan from Amsterdam. The award will be presented at the European Lung Cancer Conference (ELCC) 2016, held 13 to 16 April in Geneva, Switzerland.
Commenting on the significance of receiving the award, Senan said: "The Heine H. Hansen Award reflects the opportunities provided by ESMO to non-medical oncologists such as myself, to actively participate in guideline development and teaching courses, all with the aim of contributing to improved care for our patients."
He said: "This award represents for me a recognition of the active research efforts in the Dutch lung cancer research community. I see it also as recognition of the growing role of radiation oncology in treatment of lung cancer. Since my first attendance at a World Lung Cancer Conference in 2000, I have been an active member of the IASLC community, and like many others, have benefitted from stimulating discussions and networking with established leaders in the field like Prof Heine Hansen."
Senan's research has focused on different aspects of lung cancer therapy, including stereotactic radiotherapy, 4-dimensional imaging, chemo-radiotherapy, treatment of small-cell lung cancer, comparative effectiveness research, and MRI-guided treatment. He has more than 285 peer-reviewed publications, and has supervised 15 PhD theses.
Acknowledging the contribution of others to his career, Senan said: "I am grateful to my radiation oncology colleagues, especially Frank Lagerwaard and Ben Slotman, for a very productive collaboration over nearly 15 years, and we continue to work on exciting new projects. Lung cancer research at the VU University Medical Centre benefitted greatly from the inspiring leadership of Pieter Postmus and Egbert Smit, who together with my surgical colleague, Rick Paul, were all strong supporters of 'disruptive research' which could lead to improved outcomes in patients. I have also been fortunate to work with a number of very talented Dutch and international PhD students, whose projects helped generate the data to move the field forward."
ELCC Scientific Committee Co-Chair for ESMO, Prof Solange Peters said: "ESMO is delighted to bestow this year's Heine H. Hansen Award on Suresh Senan. He has been an active member of ESMO, helping to spread best practice in the field of lung cancer."
Dr. Wilfried Eberhardt, ELCC Scientific Committee Co-Chair for IASLC, said: "Suresh Senan is a valued member of IASLC and worthy recipient of this award. His involvement in research, editorial roles, supervision, and professional societies will have a long lasting impact on the field of lung cancer."
1 Prof Hansen started translational research in lung cancer and collaborated with many investigators in Europe and the US. Early on he saw a need for a formal collaborative framework for investigators focusing on lung cancer and was one of the visionary founders of the IASLC and its journal Lung Cancer. He later became the IASLC's President and first Executive Director. Prof Hansen played a significant role in ESMO's evolution and was ESMO President in 1996-1997. At ESMO he contributed to the development of a global curriculum for medical oncology and was instrumental in developing medical oncology as a recognised specialty in Europe. He was also very active in educational activities in the previous Eastern European countries and implemented many clinical trials in this part of Europe.
2 The Heine H. Hansen Award will be presented to Prof Senan during the Heine H. Hansen Award Lecture on Wednesday, 13th April 2016 at 13:45, Room B. Keynote lecture: "Curative treatment of early-stage NSCLC: Lessons learned from comparative effectiveness research and future directions".
ESMO's educational resources support an integrated, multi-professional approach to cancer care. We have European roots and a global reach: we welcome oncology professionals from around the world and we seek to erase boundaries in cancer care as we pursue our mission across oncology, worldwide.

Die 36. Bambi-Verleihung fand am 20. Dezember 1984 im Deutschen Theater in München statt.

Die Verleihung
1984 gab es mehrere Neuerungen. Der Bambi, der als Filmpreis angefangen hatte und später zum Fernsehpreis umgewandelt worden war, sollte nun zum Preis "für die Besten aus Film, Fernsehen, Sport und Gesellschaft" werden, also zu dem, was später Medienpreis genannt werden sollte. Zudem wurde die Verleihung wieder in dem Kalenderjahr ausgetragen, auf das sich die Preise bezogen. Dies hatte zur Folge, dass es 1984 nach der Verleihung im Mai noch eine zweite im Dezember gab. 1984 war somit das bisher einzige Jahr, in dem es zwei Bambi-Verleihungen gab. Die Verleihung fand auch wieder im Rahmen einer Showveranstaltung mit Thomas Gottschalk als Moderator statt, die erstmals seit 1969 als Liveaufzeichnung im Fernsehen lief (am Sonntag, den 23. Dezember 1984 um 20:15 Uhr).

Heinz Rühmann wurde für sein Lebenswerk mit einem Ehren-Bambi ausgezeichnet. Es war für ihn der zwölfte Bambi, eine Marke, die sonst niemand erreicht hat. Zudem gab es erstmals einen Bambi, der ausdrücklich für ein soziales Projekt vergeben wurde. Er ging an Karlheinz Böhm für seine Organisation Menschen für Menschen.

If you are readying yourself to take a postal battery test, then you are no doubt in the thick of preparations. And there's a very big chance that you are all psyched up for the test. By using postal battery exam study guides and online post office practice tests 473, you certainly know what types of test to expect and how to answer them so as to be able to get the highest scores.
But did you know that taking a USPS test entails physical preparation as well? Even if you are mentally and emotionally ready for the test but your body is not prepared, you can jeopardize your chances of obtaining a very good score. If you want to ace the postal battery exam, try integrating these physical activities while preparing for the 473-e.
1. Do at least 30 minutes of cardio exercises before beginning your review. Just a brisk walk or a short jog around the neighborhood or even a few laps in a pool will get the blood circulating into your system. This will get you energized and keep you alert as you study, allowing better absorption of concepts and more retention.
2. Practice breathing exercises. Regular breathing exercises will help calm down your nerves when you feel the pressure coming along. Doing yoga also helps. Learning how to breathe will also help you manage yourself in a time-pressured exam such as the postal battery test 473-e.
3. Try to get a good night's sleep. This applies not only on exam day but also on the days leading up to the test. By establishing a body clock when you can go to bed and when you wake up, you will feel refreshed, energized, and ready to take the postal exam. Getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep is essential.
4. Eat a good breakfast on the day of the test. You want to make sure that you will have the mental and physical energy to finish the test. And the best preparation is to have a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Do limit yourself on the liquids, however, as this might make you run to the bathroom a lot of times during the test—if it is allowed. But even if it is, doing so is detrimental since the postal test is a time-pressured exam.
5. Relax. Before, during, and after the test, don't allow yourself to give in to the pressure of having to get a high score. Remember: If you have done your best then that is all that matters. Even if you don't make it to a US Postal Service employment opening there's always another opening and there are always other jobs that you can apply for. Take it all in stride.

Recently, approximately 150 Speedway employees and family members joined nearly 800 others at the Dayton International Airport in welcoming home more than 100 veterans who participated in the latest Honor Flight. To show their unity in support of this cause, Speedway associates wore commemorativeT-shirts at the event. Speedway sponsored 10 veterans participating in Honor Flight.
Honor Flight's mission is to take veterans of WWII, Korean, and Vietnam Wars to see their national memorials in Washington, D.C. These trips are provided at no cost to all qualified veterans. The home of Speedway's corporate office, Enon, Ohio, is also the birthplace of Honor Flight. Founded by Enon resident Earl Morse, the first Honor Flight tour occurred in May 2005, when six small planes flew 12 World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the WWII monument, which had recently been completed.


In case you haven't noticed, there's a digital arms race in the travel industry. It's the inevitable result of the ongoing digital and mobile revolution. Competition among online travel agencies, Google and Facebook is so fierce that every possible strategy is at work to identify and attract you the traveler and retain your loyalty.
The top travel industry strategy is acquiring and using data to enhance destination experiences for travelers. This strategy involves "targeting" travelers: acquiring and using personal information to create the profiles of potential customers and then smart machines use algorithms to match these profiles with destination travel options. You have no control over how these travel companies handle or monetize your personal information or who they distribute it to.
Without your permission, this process earns a great deal of revenue for online travel companies. How? By attracting advertisers who want to reach the people whose profiles match their target customers. In other words, online travel companies and businesses selling every kind of product and service (including travel) are partners in business deals focused on your personal data. The only benefit for travelers is getting free online search for activities, tours, accommodations and other travel services.
Tom Barefoot's Tours is an exception to this unfortunate travel industry story. We don't collect, analyze, sell or trade your personal data or use it to design advertising. In fact, 45 years in business and we don't even advertise. As you know, travelers can find us through search engines like Google, but we don't pay for that service and there is no quid pro quo. Even "Activity Match™" -- the technology in our website that enables you to personalize your travel experiences in Hawaii – doesn't save your personal preferences or any other personal information.
Every stage of a traveler's journey is generating valuable data that travel companies are collecting, connecting the dots and using data analytics to turn these connected-dots into profitable insights. The use of personal data for the purpose of travel and activities marketing is a very big global business getting bigger and more sophisticated every day. For a simple example, when snow is forecast, information systems automatically notify skiers about which resorts have it. When flights are cancelled, passengers are notified about locations near airports to spend time while grounded.
https://www.tombarefoot.com is an exception to these trends. Let's say you want to select several activities on Oahu, for example, a biking tour in the morning, kayaking in the afternoon, and a dinner show with hula dancing. Based on your selections, the filters in our website's Activity Match™ will present all of your choices for booking, including when and where to start the day, pickup at a hotel and meals if desired, and more. Selecting and booking these activities is simple. Making choices in Activity Match™ defines the kind of experience you want on a day in paradise but, guaranteed, we share none of it with any other business. You own the information, not Tom Barefoot's Tours(https://www.tombarefoot.com) or anyone else.

What is the difference between emotional eating and binge eating?
What are causes, triggers, or risk factors for emotional eating?
What are warning signs of emotional eating?
What kind of specialists treat emotional eating?
How do health care providers diagnose emotional eating?
What is the treatment for emotional eating?
What is the prognosis of emotional eating?
Is it possible to prevent emotional eating?
Emotional eating is responding to feelings such as stress by eating high-carbohydrate, high-calorie foods with low nutritional value.
The quantity of food that is consumed is the primary difference between emotional eating and binge eating.
Like most emotional symptoms, emotional eating is thought to result from a number of factors rather than a single cause.
There are a number of potential warning signs for emotional eating, or stress eating.
Health professionals assess emotional eating by screening for physical and mental health issues.
Overcoming emotional eating involves teaching the individual healthier ways to view food and develop better eating habits (such as mindful eating), recognize their triggers for engaging in this behavior, and develop other more appropriate ways to prevent and alleviate stress.
When untreated, emotional overeating can cause obesity, problems with weight loss, and even lead to food addiction.
Reducing stress, using food as sustenance rather than as a way to solve problems, and using constructive ways to handle emotions can help to prevent emotional eating.
Emotional eating is the tendency of its sufferers to respond to stressful, difficult feelings by eating, even when not experiencing physical hunger. Emotional eating or emotional hunger is often a craving for high-calorie or high-carbohydrate foods that have minimal nutritional value. The foods that emotional eaters crave are often referred to as comfort foods, like ice cream, cookies, chocolate, chips, French fries, and pizza. About 40% of people tend to eat more when stressed, while about 40% eat less and 20% experience no change in the amount of food they eat when exposed to stress. Consequently, stress can be associated with both weight gain and weight loss.
While emotional eating can be a symptom of what mental health professionals call atypical depression, many people who do not have clinical depression or any other mental health issue engage in this behavior in response to momentary feelings or chronic stress. This behavior is highly common and is significant since it can interfere with maintaining a healthy diet and contribute to obesity.
Cortisol has been termed the "stress hormone" because excess cortisol is secreted during times of physical or psychological stress, and the normal pattern of cortisol secretion (with levels highest in the early morning and lowest at night) can be altered. This disruption of cortisol secretion may not only promote weight gain, but it can also affect where you put on the weight in the body. Some studies have shown that stress and elevated cortisol tend to cause fat deposition in the abdominal area rather than in the hips. This fat deposition has been referred to as "toxic fat" since abdominal fat deposition is strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.
The primary difference between emotional eating and binge eating involves the amount of food that is consumed. While both may involve a sense of trouble controlling a craving for food, emotional eating may involve consuming from moderate to great amounts of food and may be the only symptom that a person has or be part of an emotional illness like depression, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. Binge eating disorder is a distinctive mental illness that is characterized by recurrent episodes of compulsive overeating, in that affected people uncontrollably eat an amount of food that is significantly larger than that which most people eat in a distinct period of time (for example, over two hours), even when they are not hungry. The person with binge eating disorder may eat each much faster than normal, conceal the amount they eat out of shame, and may feel disgusted by their eating after doing so. In order to qualify for this diagnosis, the binges must occur an average of once per week over three months.
Like most emotional symptoms, emotional eating is thought to be the result of a number of factors rather than one single cause. Some research is consistent with girls and women being at higher risk for eating disorders, showing they are at higher risk for emotional eating. However, other research indicates that in some populations, men are more likely to eat in response to feeling depression or anger, and women were more likely to eat excessively in response to failing a diet.
It is thought that the increase in the hormone cortisol that is one of the body's responses to stress is similar to the medication prednisone in its effects. Specifically, both tend to trigger the body's stress (fight or flight) response, including increased heart and breathing rate, blood flow to muscles, and visual acuity. Part of the stress response often includes increased appetite to supply the body with the fuel it needs to fight or flee, resulting in cravings for so-called comfort foods. People who have been subjected to chronic rather than momentary stress (like job, school, or family stress, exposure to crime or abuse) are at risk for having chronically high levels of cortisol in their bodies, contributing to developing chronic emotional-eating patterns.
Psychologically, people who tend to connect food with comfort, power, positive feelings, or for any other reasons than providing fuel to their body can be prone to emotional eating. They may eat to fill an emotional void, when physically full, and engage in mindless eating. Some people whose emotions cause them to eat may have been raised to connect food with feelings instead of sustenance, particularly if food was scarce or often used a reward or punishment, or as a substitute for emotional intimacy.
Warning signs for emotional eating include a tendency to feel hunger intensely and all of a sudden, rather than gradually as occurs with a true physical need to eat that is caused by an empty stomach. Emotional eaters tend to crave junk foods rather than seeking to eat balanced meals, and the urge to eat is usually preceded by stress or an uncomfortable emotion of some kind, like boredom, sadness, anger, guilt, or frustration. Other hallmarks of emotional eating are that the sufferer may feel a lack of control while eating and often feels guilty for what they have eaten.
A number of different health care professionals evaluate and treat emotional eating and may also help with weight loss when this contributes to overweight or obesity. As this symptom can occur at nearly anytime across the life span, everyone from pediatricians, family practitioners, and other primary care physicians may address this problem. Nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants may be involved in caring for emotional-eating sufferers. Mental health professionals who are often involved in assessing and treating this issue include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, and licensed counselors. While any one of these practitioners may care for people who engage in emotional eating, more than one may work together to help the person overcome this symptom.
The diagnosis of emotional eating is made after first ensuring that the sufferer has had a physical examination and lab work to be certain that the symptom is not part of some genetic or other medical condition like Prader-Willi syndrome. As part of the mental health aspect of the examination, the patient may be asked a series of questions from a standardized questionnaire or self-test to help assess the presence of emotional eating. Thorough exploration of any history of mental health symptoms will be conducted such that emotional eating can be distinguished from other eating disorders like bulimia, binge eating, or pica. A mental health professional will also explore whether other forms of mental illness are present.
Overcoming emotional eating tends to involve teaching the sufferer healthier ways to view food and develop better eating habits, recognize their triggers for engaging in this behavior, and develop appropriate ways to prevent and alleviate stress.
An important step in managing stress is exercise, since regular physical activity tends to dampen the production of stress chemicals, even leading to a decrease in depression, anxiety, and insomnia in addition to decreasing the tendency to engage in emotional eating.
Engaging in meditation and other relaxation techniques is also a powerful way to manage stress and therefore decrease emotional eating. Therefore, engaging in one or two meditation sessions a day can have lasting beneficial effects on health, even decreasing high blood pressure and heart rate.
Refraining from drug use and consuming no more than moderate amounts of alcohol are other important ways to successfully manage stress since many of these substances heighten the body's response to stress. Also, indulging in use of those substances often prevents the person from facing their problems directly so they are not able to develop effective ways to cope with or eliminate the stress.
Other lifestyle changes that can decrease stress include taking breaks at home and at work. Refrain from over-scheduling yourself. Learn to recognize and respond to your stress triggers. Take regular days off at intervals that are right for you. Structure your life to achieve a comfortable way to respond to the unexpected.
For those who may need help dealing with stress, stress-management counseling in the form of individual or group therapy can be very useful. Stress counseling and group therapy have proven to reduce stress symptoms and improve overall health.
Didactic component: This phase helps to set up positive expectations for therapy and promote the person's cooperation with the treatment process.
Cognitive component: This helps to identify the thoughts and assumptions that influence the individual's behaviors, particularly those that may predispose the sufferer to emotional eating. A variation of the cognitive component of therapy is teaching mindfulness, paying nonjudgmental attention to the present moment. Mindfulness involves thinking more reflectively, increasing one's emotional awareness, and tends to lead to an increased ability to separate one's emotions from hunger.
Behavioral component: This employs behavior-modification techniques to teach the person how to stop emotional eating and use more effective strategies for dealing with problems.
If stress produces a full-blown psychiatric problem, like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), clinical depression, or anxiety disorders, then psychotropic medications, particularly the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can be extremely useful. Examples of SSRIs include sertraline, (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), or escitalopram (Lexapro).
Overeaters' Anonymous is a longstanding self-help group that can be an important resource for developing healthier ways to view food and recognizing and coping with triggers for engaging in emotional eating. Nutritionists, therapists, and other support groups can be other invaluable resources.
Left untreated, emotional overeating can lead to complications, like difficulties achieving weight loss, obesity, and even to the development of food addiction. On the other hand, people who are prone to emotional eating are also often more responsive to stress reduction in correcting their tendency to emotionally eat compared to individuals who tend to eat less when exposed to stress.
The prevention of emotional eating primarily involves reducing stress, using constructive ways to understand and manage emotions, and by using food as sustenance rather than a way to solve problems (eating to live rather than living to eat). Research also shows that thinking about the future rather than staying focused on satisfying food cravings tends to prevent emotional eating. Other ways to prevent emotional eating behaviors include engaging in meditation, exercise, and other constructive stress prevention and stress management techniques, as well as avoiding caffeine, alcohol, or drugs.

USS Carl Vinson CSV transiting the South China Sea
The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) transits the South China Sea. The Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend the command and control functions of U.S. 3rd Fleet. U.S Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific regularly and routinely for more than 70 years. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Matt Brown (Released) 170408-N-HD638-152
USS CARL VINSON, At Sea (NNS) -- Adm. Harry Harris, commander, U.S. Pacific Command, has directed the Carl Vinson Strike Group to sail north and report on station in the Western Pacific Ocean after departing Singapore April 8.
Carl Vinson Strike Group, including Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112), and Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57), will operate in the Western Pacific rather than executing previously planned port visits to Australia. The Strike Group will remain under the operational control of U.S. 3rd Fleet as part of the 3rd Fleet Forward initiative.
Deployed from San Diego to the Western Pacific since Jan. 5, the Strike Group has participated in numerous bilateral exercises with the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force and Republic of Korea Navy, various maritime security initiatives, and routine patrol operations in the South China Sea.
For more than 70 years, the U.S. Navy has maintained a persistent naval presence in the Indo-Asia Pacific. The U.S. Navy is committed to continuing this forward presence, which is focused on stability, regional cooperation and economic prosperity for all nations. Carl Vinson has deployed to the region several times, starting with a deployment to the Western Pacific in 1983, a year after commissioning. Most recently in 2015, Carl Vinson conducted port visits and exercises with regional navies in the South China Sea.
U.S. 3rd Fleet leads naval forces in the Pacific and provides the realistic, relevant training necessary for an effective global Navy. Third Fleet constantly coordinates with U.S. 7th Fleet to plan and execute missions based on their complementary strengths to promote ongoing peace, security, and stability throughout the entire Indo-Asia-Pacific theater of operations.

The New York Times, supposed bastion of the supposed liberal media, today admitted to having bought much of the Bush administration's line about Iraq – weapons of mass destruction, Ahmed Chalabi, Saddam's ties to terrorism, and more – hook, line, and sinker. Well, they may only be owning up to the hook and the line. But it's a start:
In some cases, information that was controversial then, and seems questionable now, was insufficiently qualified or allowed to stand unchallenged. Looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive in re-examining the claims as new evidence emerged — or failed to emerge. The problematic articles varied in authorship and subject matter, but many shared a common feature. They depended at least in part on information from a circle of Iraqi informants, defectors and exiles bent on "regime change" in Iraq, people whose credibility has come under increasing public debate in recent weeks. (The most prominent of the anti-Saddam campaigners, Ahmad Chalabi, has been named as an occasional source in Times articles since at least 1991, and has introduced reporters to other exiles. He became a favorite of hard-liners within the Bush administration and a paid broker of information from Iraqi exiles, until his payments were cut off last week.) Complicating matters for journalists, the accounts of these exiles were often eagerly confirmed by United States officials convinced of the need to intervene in Iraq. Administration officials now acknowledge that they sometimes fell for misinformation from these exile sources. So did many news organizations — in particular, this one.
Some critics of our coverage during that time have focused blame on individual reporters. Our examination, however, indicates that the problem was more complicated. Editors at several levels who should have been challenging reporters and pressing for more skepticism were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper. Accounts of Iraqi defectors were not always weighed against their strong desire to have Saddam Hussein ousted. Articles based on dire claims about Iraq tended to get prominent display, while follow-up articles that called the original ones into question were sometimes buried. In some cases, there was no follow-up at all.
Right-wing critics of the Times have, I'm sure, already begun framing the Times admission of conservative bias as merely another sign of its liberal bias. But the record speaks for itself. And among those who should take note is the Times Public Editor, "an advocate for Times readers," who spent his first column warning against the tendency of reporters to be overly critical of those in power. Today's mea culpa from the Times is just a further demonstration of how backwards he – and an entire cottage industry of "liberal media watchdogs" – have it.

1920 :: T.W.A. Smith Hopelessly Ill Ends Life
On this date in our family history . . . the 12th day of February . . . in the year 1920 . . .
Thomas Warren Alonzo Smith, Sr. ends his own life at his home, 43 Prospect Street, in Biddeford Maine . . . this T.W.A. Smith is a great-grandpa of the Keeper of this family history blog . . .
Biddeford Daily Journal
Friday Evening, February 13, 1920

T.W.A. SMITH HOPELESSLY ILL ENDS LIFE
Connected Tube to Gas Range
at Home on Prospect Street -
Was Dead When Found by Wife
Thomas Warren A. Smith, the landscape gardener and retired florist, during a short absence of his wife, asphyxiated himself with gas at his home, 43 Prospect street, Thursday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock.
His lifeless body was found by his wife, sitting in a large easy chair, with gas escaping from a rubber tube, which was connected with the gas range in the kitchen and held close to his mouth. The end of the rubber tubing had been tied by Mr. Smith on his breast with the end about half an inch from his mouth. The end attached to the gas range had also been tied on, as Mr. Smith, who had made two other attempts to end his life, it is claimed, evidently wanted to make sure he would succeed this time.
Mrs. Smith left her husband in the home about 4 o'clock to come downtown and make purchases of food and articles for the family. When she returned she found all the doors leading to the house locked and her suspicions became aroused at once.
Hurrying to the home of ex-Councilman Daniel B. Finnell across the street, Mrs. Smith secured the loan of a shovel in order that she might remove some snow which prevented her getting a ladder which was under the barn. With the aid of the ladder Mrs. Smith was able to get into the house through a chamber room window on the second floor. When she went downstairs the odor of gas was very noticeable. Quickly opening her breath [sic], as the odor of gas was something terrible.
Quickly opening windows and shutting off the gas cock, Mrs. Smith went to her husband, who sat in a large easy chair in front of the range and one look satisfied her that he had been successful in taking his life.
Mrs. Finnell arrived at the house and she was followed by Carl Hall, also a neighbor, and Dr. J.F. Trull was called by telephone. The physician on his arrival found that Mr. Smith was beyond all aid. Medical Examiner Charles F. Trayneg was notified and after learning the facts of the case, concluded it was a case of suicide.
Mr. Smith had carefully planned taking his life, according to the way he arranged everything. He removed a shelf from the range and used papers to keep the rubber tubing from touching the stove. The end of the tubing was tied to the gas cock of the gas stove, while the other end was securely held with string on his breast so that the end would come close to his mouth and nose.
Incurable illness is given as the cause for the rash act. Mr. Smith suffered an attack of influenza 14 months ago and double pneumonia set in and his life was saved only by a hard battle, in which his kind and devoted wife took a prominent part. Heart trouble developed and his condition was such that it was plain to his many friends that he would not be able to do much more work. Only recently in talking with a friend he said he could walk but little and had to ride if he wanted to go any distance.
T.W.A. Smith was well known in the two cities and the news of his death was received with profound sorrow. He had made other unsuccessful attempts to end his life, by inhaling illuminating gas, while a revolver was taken from him only a few days ago.
Everybody has a good word for Mr. Smith. Friends knew that he was suffering physically and that everything was being done for him in the line of medical aid, but his condition could not be helped.
He was prominent in Masonic and Odd Fellows circles and was a member of the First Baptist church. Mr. Smith was born in Lewiston 15th September 1866, and was the son of the late Atwood and J. Morilla Baker Smith. He received a public school education, and was employed in the Pepperell mills before entering the florist business.
He was located on Prospect street, next to his home, for many years. As a landscape gardener he was in great demand, especially at the Pool, and his work was always highly spoken of. He was affiliated with many organizations, among them Laconia lodge, I.O.O.F.; York Encampment, J. H. Dearborn canton, Mavoshen lodge, K. of P.; Dunlap Lodge of Masons, Squando Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, and Simon S. Andrews camp, Sons of Veterans.
Mr. Smith is survived by his widow, one son, Thomas W. A. Smith, Jr., and one daughter, Miss Elizabeth M. Smith. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon with services at 2 o'clock at the late home, 43 Prospect street. Relatives and friends are invited without further notice.

Boy, o, boy, Vickie,
This is a hard one to comment upon. A sense of sadness, but that is defused by by his methodical planning and the feeling that he was well loved by friends and family. There was a sense of understanding along with the sorrow. Touched me deeply.

Mom was only 3 days old when her mother died in 1932 . . . and she was sent to live with her paternal grandparents in Texas shortly after her father remarried . . . so she was never around any of her mother's family . . . and never heard any of their family stories. Mom's 1st trip back to Massachusetts was with me, in the late 1970s. Imagine our shock when we came across this newspaper write-up -- we never had a clue! I was then, and am still now, amazed at the amount of detail as well as the apparent respect for this man who was the father of the beautiful young woman who died shortly after giving life to my Mom. Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Joan -- you are appreciated, and always welcome to come and sit a spell in my home-on-the-web. V. . . .
