Why choose a bench trial instead of a jury trial? – Opinion
Posted at 11:52 AM, December 15, 2022 and last updated 10:18 AM, December 28, 2022
By Judge Ashley Willcott
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Neb. (Court TV) — Angela Hock, 36, is on trial this week for negligent child abuse resulting in death. On June 14, 2019, Hock acted as a midwife to Emily Noe, 25, for a planned home birth. While Noe was in labor, she noticed one of the baby's feet protruding from her vagina. According to Noe, Hock asked if she wanted to continue and stated she was trained to handle breech babies. Noe decided to move forward with the home birth.
Hock delivered the baby to her shoulders before she realized she could not complete the delivery. Hock's assistant called 911. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) eventually delivered the baby girl, who was limp and had no pulse, on the way to the hospital. According to the doctor, the baby had been without oxygen during her delivery. Vera Noe was pronounced dead on June 17, 2019. She was only two days old.
The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees every criminal defendant the right to a jury trial. It states, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury." But the defendant may waive their right to a jury trial and agree to a bench trial, where the judge decides the verdict.
In this Midwife Delivery Death Trial, Angela Hock has opted for a bench trial before the Honorable Judge Timothy Burns. The judge must now make findings of fact based on the evidence presented and decide if Hock is guilty of negligent child abuse resulting in death beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendant Angela Hock appears in court Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, in Omaha. Hock, an unlicensed midwife, is facing a felony charge of negligent child abuse after a home-birth delivery went tragically wrong. (Court TV)
Why did Hock choose to have a judge decide her case?
There are advantages to a bench trial with these facts.
First, the preventable death of an innocent newborn is a terrible set of circumstances to put in front of a jury, especially when it results from the actions of an unlicensed midwife who did not have the appropriate medical training. Jurors generally have not been exposed to such horrific imagery and testimony. As a result, they are more likely to have an emotional reaction than a judge with extensive experience reviewing gruesome evidence without regard to fault.
Second, Hock's attorney presents a technical defense based partly on Nebraska statutes. During opening statements, defense attorney Keith Dornan stated that the State of Nebraska put mothers like Emily Noe at risk because they failed to establish laws regulating midwifery. He further suggested that criminal law does not allow scapegoating – singling out or blaming a person for something terrible that has happened. This defense focuses on the language and nuances of Nebraska laws, including the rules and regulations regarding midwives in permitted practices. All of which may be easier for a judge to follow, rather than a jury.

Václav Smetáček (* 30. September 1906 in Brünn; † 18. Februar 1986 in Prag) war ein tschechischer Dirigent, Komponist und Oboist.
Smetáček studierte ab 1922 am Prager Konservatorium Klavier, Oboe, Musiktheorie und Orchesterleitung. Sein dortiger Oboenlehrer war Ladislav Skuhrovsky. 1928 bis 1932 folgten weitere Studien an der Prager Karlsuniversität. Mit Konservatoriumskollegen gründete er 1928 das Prager Bläserquintett, für das er auch komponierte und arrangierte, und dessen Mitglied er bis 1960 blieb.

Nach Ableistung des Militärdienstes arbeitete er von 1934 bis 1943 beim Tschechischen Rundfunk als Dirigent und Musikredakteur. 1942 übernahm er die Leitung der Prager Symphoniker. Als deren Dirigent setzte er sich besonders für slawische Musik und Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts ein, war aber auch Wiederentdecker von Werken wie dem Oboenkonzert op. 37 von Franz Krommer oder Sinfonien von Josef Mysliveček. Auf Auslandsreisen machte er sich auch als Operndirigent einen Namen. Seit 1945 lehrte er zudem als Professor an der Akademie der musischen Künste in Prag. Er wurde auf dem Vyšehrader Friedhof in Prag beigesetzt.

Unter Smetáčeks Kompositionen finden sich insbesondere Etuden und Lehrwerke für Oboe, aber auch Musik für Bläserquintett, etwa die 1932 veröffentlichte Suite Aus dem Leben der Insekten.

Pope Francis announces the names of 13 new Cardinals after recitation of Angelus on Sunday (Vatican Media)
Pope announces a consistory for the creation of 13 new cardinals
On 28 November, there will be 13 new additions to the College of Cardinals: 9 are under 80 years of age, among them is the Guardian of Sacro Convento in Assisi, Father Mauro Gambetti.
By Vatican News
The Church will have thirteen new Cardinals. Nine of them are younger than 80 and therefore, have the right to participate in a future conclave. Four others are older than 80 years of age. Pope Francis's announcement came as a surprise, after the recitation of the Angelus of Sunday, 25 October. He communicated the news regarding the creation of the new cardinals to the faithful present in St Peter's Square as well as to those connected throughout the world.
Pope at Angelus: love of God and neighbour fundamental to Christian life
Two of the new Cardinals work in the Roman Curia: the Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops, Maltese Mario Grech and the Italian Marcello Semeraro, former Bishop of Albano and the new Prefect for the Congregation of the Causes of Saints.
Six other pastors in the Church throughout the world are joining them: the Archbishop of Kigali, Rwanda, Antoine Kambanda; the Archbishop of Washington, United States, Wilton Gregory; the Archbishop of Capiz, in the Philippines, Jose Fuerte Advincula; the Archbishop of Santiago, Chile, Celestino Aós Braco; the Apostolic Vicar of Brunei, Cornelius Sim; the Archbishop of Siena, Italia, Augusto Paolo Lojudice.
In addition, the Pope has also appointed the current Guardian of the Franciscan Sacro Convento in Assisi, Mauro Gambetti.
To these Cardinals who are younger than 80 years of age, Pope Francis has also added four other Cardinals who are older than 80. They are: Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel, Archbishop Emeritus of San Cristóbal de Las Casas (Mexico); former Apostolic Nuncio Silvano Tomasi, former permanent observer at the United Nations in Geneva who then worked in the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development; Capuchin Father Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher of the Papal Household; and the pastor of the Shrine of Divine Love, Father Enrico Feroci.
Cardinals wear the colour red which indicates their willingness to sacrifice themselves usque ad sanguinis effusionem, that is, to the point of sheding their own blood, in the service of the Successor of Peter, and even though they reside in the remotest regions of the world, they become the titular of a parish in the Eternal City so that they are incardinated in the Church of which the Pope is Bishop.

Got $800 to burn? You could pay rent, make a dent in that looming credit card debt, or, if you're feeling a little conspicuous, pick up a bottle of Jay Z's new champagne. LIFE IS FOR LIVING, WE SAY!
According to Bloomberg, Jay's Ace of Spades, which is officially $760 a bottle, will hit stores in October. The product is the result of the rapper's feud with Cristal, a champagne brand he'd have previously died for.
Evidently, Frederic Rouzaud, the managing director of Louis Roederer—which produces Cristal—insinuated that he wasn't so thrilled about his product appearing so visibly in the hip-hop community. When Jay got word about the dismissive remarks, he stopped stocking his 40/40 Club with the drink, boycotted the product completely and moved to partner with Armand de Brignac, which now makes Ace of Spades.
What do you think—is the price tag on Jay's bubbly a little extreme? Tell us if you'd ever pick up a bottle and, you know, if you need any drinking company.

The summer is just beginning, but up-and-coming Berklee artists have already begun a series of appearances at music festivals across the United States and Canada. Back in April, the metal band MDFK kicked things off with an appearance at Welcome to Rockville music festival in Jacksonville, FL. Six bands will participate in this year's festival run that will include stops at Chicago's Country LakeShake (June 22–24), Essence Festival in New Orleans (July 5–8), Lollapalooza (August 2–5), Osheaga in Montreal (August 3–5) and Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco (August 10–12).
It's part of the Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI), a program that takes students from the classroom to the festival stage in preparation for a performance career. The institute was founded and is directed by professor Jeff Dorenfeld to give students exposure to all facets of the music industry, including A&R, recording, booking, promotion, sponsorship, and live shows.
"We are integrating the academics of a class with the live music industry," Dorenfeld says. "When we place an act in a festival slot, the promoter expects the same from us as any of the major agencies. Berklee students are responsible for finding talent, rehearsing them for the festival stage, organizing travel logistics, executing lengthy contracts, and meeting all production requirements. At the festivals, they are treated like every other artist on the lineup. It's demanding, but the experience is priceless."
Students in BPMI's A&R group received more than 300 submissions and narrowed the field by reviewing recordings, videos, social media presence, and live audition showcases. They also considered the artist's style of music for genre-specific festivals like Welcome to Rockville (metal) and Country LakeShake (country/Americana). The class ultimately chose metal band MDFK, Americana group Jacksonville Kid, r&b singer Yanina, pop artist Emilia Ali, and electro-pop groups luhx. and AJNA to represent BPMI at this year's festivals.
The BPMI class runs on a three-semester, full-year cycle. In the fall, the class chooses the artists and splits up into management teams. In the spring, work begins on artist development, marketing, digital presence, budgets, merchandise, and sponsorships. During the summer, class participants rehearse the artists to prepare them for the festival stage and, ultimately, accompany them to the festivals to handle on-site promotion, production, and tour management.
"I thought my passion for the music business was going to have to come on my own time," says Boston Conservatory at Berklee student Micah Welch, a member of MDFK's team. "Finding out about BPMI was a blessing because I've been able to have real-world experience and practical application of the skills I will need in the music industry."

When getting started with cycling, there can be a lot of conflicting information available, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
However, one tip every resource agrees upon is the importance of keeping bike tyres fully pumped up. Doing so keeps the risk of punctures as low as possible, as well as providing as easy and efficient ride.
Road bike tyres should be between 80-130 psi (pounds per square inch), mountain bike tyres between 30-50 psi, and hybrid bike tyres between 50 and 70 psi. Finding the specific value that is right for you depends on your weight, with heavier bodies requiring higher psi.
A small hand pump is useful for temporary puncture repairs on the go, but getting a road bike up to 100 psi requires a larger floor pump. Checking tyre pressure before every ride will help minimise the risk of a puncture, and make the ride as eventless as possible.

The 2020 Toyota Avalon is relied with to check bolder and more powerful in the front, on account more honed headlamps and a more substantial and specific decrease grille. The present design as of this moment has a very much made up sleek nursery which has picked up acknowledgment. Therefore, the decreasing edge version may well not have extensive changes right here.
Assisting the car should be an extended form of the Toyota's TNGA specific stage formally located in the C-HR, Camry, and Prius. The scene speaks to an entirely new method on the way Toyota outlines, gurus, and bundles its autos. Primarily, it infuses Toyota's automobiles with considerably sportier taking good care of appreciation to its light in weight advancement and lower focus of gravity.
With regards to what all those new underpinnings could be, the Toyota New International Structures (TNGA) probably will fill as being a business to the redesigned Avalon. Legally applied to a variety of new types – for example the 2019 Camry – the movable stage will also be the real reason for the subsequent Corolla.
Thinking about the analyze motor vehicle had the age group body and lamps, it implies Toyota is as of now within the propelled screening stage. We are hoping to start to see the Avalon with a remarkable auto expo 12 months from far within the U.S. before going at a great deal as a 2020MY.

The Special Operations Force (SOF) is the primary special forces unit of the Singapore Army responsible for conducting special operations. It is composed of only highly-trained regular servicemen from the Commandos formation. It is also a component of the Special Operations Task Force (SOTF), alongside the Special Warfare Group (SWG) of the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN).

History
On 27 September 1972, a flight engineer aboard Olympic Airlines Flight 472 accidentally activated a hijack alarm. The flight, which had 31 passengers and 11 crew members on board, took off from Sydney, Australia at 1030 hours SST and was heading towards Paya Lebar Airport in Singapore. The Australian authorities were not informed of the situation until four hours later. Following a flurry of conflicting reports, Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority warned Paya Lebar Airport to be prepared for a possible hijack.

Flight 472 landed in Singapore at 1825 hours SST and was immediately surrounded by the police before the Singapore authorities could confirm that it was a false alarm. The incident highlighted the lack of special forces trained and equipped to deal with a hijack or hostage situation in Singapore. This led to the creation of the SOF in 1985 as a unit specially tasked with dealing with such situations.

Operation Thunderbolt (1991)

On 26 March 1991, Singapore Airlines Flight 117 was hijacked in flight by four men, who took all 129 people on board hostage. At Singapore Changi Airport, commandos from the SOF stormed the plane, killed the four hijackers and freed the hostages in under a minute. This also marked the SOF's first combat operation.

Other operations

It was reported that some SOF commandos have been deployed to Afghanistan under Operation Blue Ridge alongside regular Commmandos.

Sihing Adam (Blackbelt under Sigung Joern Tiedge) left for three months to Thailand to train Thai Boxing . During his stay he also attended a Thaiboxing competition, fighting five rounds, two minutes each round. Shihing Adam won in the second round by KO.
After winning competitions in semi contact, light contact and full contact, later also winning grappling tournaments,he was now aiming for a new competitive challenge and showed all how versatile a Wun Hop Kuen Do Fighter can be.
That's great to hear, Professor. I am always excited to hear about WHKD successes in full contact events.
In my humble opinion, Adam was the aggressor and dominated almost the entire fight. It seems that he lost the last round, but should have won the fight. We all have to remember where the fight was taken place, and who the judges were. Adam is a credit to his Kajukenbo-WHKD training.


Class of 2016 offensive lineman John Simpson, out of Fort Dorchester High School in North Charleston, South Carolina, took to Twitter to announce his top seven college choices. Looking at his list, wherever he decides to continue playing football, he will be on teams sure to perform incredibly well.
Now that the list has sunk in, it's clear that Simpson has a tough decision to make. Alabama regularly contends for a national championship, and LSU always manages to contend in the SEC as well under coach Les Miles. And then there's feisty Georgia, always known for doing great work under Mark Richt. Tennessee is on the rise under Butch Jones, Steve Spurrier has resurrected South Carolina under his watch, and Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers are always certain to make the ACC interesting.
But the most interesting choice on Simpson's list is Florida, set to begin something of a rebuilding phase under first-year head coach Jim McElwain this season. Given how McElwain has yet to coach a game in Gainesville and there is no way of knowing how the Gators will respond to him, perhaps Simpson's attraction to the program is just how many recruits have committed to Florida since McElwain was hired lsat year.
Simply put, Simpson has a big decision looming, and Campus Sports will update it as more details become available.

A court said it will hear a Shanghai man's legal challenge to a 2017 rule banning Chinese streaming-video services from carrying content that depicts gay relationships.
Fan Chunlin, a 30-year-old man from Shanghai, filed a lawsuit Wednesday with Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court demanding that China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) clarify the policy basis for a regulation introduced last summer banning depictions of homosexuality from online video platforms. The court accepted Fan's case and is now required to hold hearings and issue a decision within six months, the plaintiff's lawyer, Tang Xiangqian, told local state media.
Fan's suit came in response to a new set of guidelines issued in June 2017 banning internet content providers from carrying programs that "present abnormal sexual lifestyles or behavior," including homosexuality. Altogether, 84 topics were banned by the rule, with other taboo subjects including portrayals of Chinese imperialism, "unhealthy" views towards money and sexual violence.
Fan made a formal request to SAPPRFT in June 2017 asking the regulatory body to disclose the legal basis of the ban's description of homosexuality as "abnormal." After the regulator replied by saying that the request did not fall under the scope for public information disclosure, he decided to pursue action through the courts.
Yanzi Peng, founder of LGBT Rights Advocacy of China, which has been supporting Fan and his lawyer, says he is not optimistic about the outcome of the case.
China is estimated to be home to around 70 million people in the LGBTQ community, according to the state-backed Global Times newspaper. Violence is relatively rare in China, but in a survey conducted by the UN Development Program in 2017, more than half of the 30,000 LGBTQ Chinese polled said they had been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.
Depictions of gay relationships have been banned on Chinese television for at least a decade, but the fast-growing streaming-video sector emerged so quickly in recent years that censors were caught playing catch-up, leaving the online space as something of a gray zone for a time. The rules issued in July were aimed at bringing the internet more in line with the draconian guidelines governing broadcast TV.

New students will no longer have to attend a physical, on-campus orientation with a group before starting their career at Honolulu CC. Instead, the administration will start an online orientation this year.
Michael Barros, the school's director of secondary education, explained the plan to the student government on the open forum of ASUH meeting in April. "Orientation should not be a single tour," Barros said. He said the reason that the administration stopped Passport to College is because they want to have a better service to new students. According to Barros, the newly accepted students will receive an orientation package via email.
It requires students to go into an online program for college orientation. After they finish watching the online program, students will receive a phone call from a counselor and attend a physical campus trip. Barros said they know the "personal touch part" of the orientation is important. They will have more events such as iKea workshops to help students in campus life.

Quantum Internet: First Teleportation to a Solid-State Quantum Memory http://adafru.it/b95387 Via MIT...
Quantum Internet: First Teleportation to a Solid-State Quantum Memory
http://adafru.it/b95387
Via MIT Technology Review.
Quantum teleportation is the ability to transmit from one location to another without traveling through the space in between. Matter itself doesn't make this journey, only the information that describes it. This is transmitted to a new body that takes on the identity of the original.
But while science fiction fans have focused on body involved, quantum physicists are more interested in the information. For them, teleportation is the enabling technology behind a new generation of information processing technologies including a quantum Internet that allows information to be transmitted with perfect security.
One of the building blocks of the quantum Internet will be quantum routers that can receive quantum information from location and route it on to another without destroying it. So the race is on to demonstrate this kind of technology, which has the potential to revolutionize communications.
Today, Felix Bussières at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and a few pals say they've taken an important step towards this. These guys have teleported quantum information to a crystal doped with rare-earth ions—a kind of quantum memory. But crucially they've done it for the first time over the kind of ordinary optical fiber that telecommunications that are in use all over the world.
One of the main requirements for widespread teleportation is entangled photons with a wavelength compatible with telecom fiber. That's not so easy to produce since the entangled photons must be compatible with the discrete energy jumps in the quantum memory. "This wavelength is typically far away from the low-loss region of standard optical fiber," say Bussières and co.
So the trick these guys have perfected is to generate entangled pairs of photons with different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 883nm (near-infrared), which is compatible with a type of quantum memory made of neodymium-doped yttrium orthosilicate crystals. The second has a wavelength of 1338nm (mid infrared), which passes easily through telecoms optical fiber.
The quantum state to be teleported is the polarization of a 1338nm photon. So these guys send the 883nm signal to the quantum memory where it is stored while transmitting the 1338 signal through a 12 km fiber to another apparatus that prepares a third photon (also at 1338 nm) with the polarization to be teleported.
This is when the teleportation takes place. When these two 1338nm photons are made to interact in a certain way, the polarization is teleported to the quantum memory at the other end of the experiment.

Shine A Light On Antisemitism in Times Square
Held in Times Square – enter at Broadway and 47th Street, New York City
Antisemitism is intensifying. Our efforts to fight it must be even stronger.
Nearly one out of every four Jews in the U.S. experiences antisemitism. It's become normalized across our culture — on social media, in pop culture and politics, and on the streets.
This Hanukkah, UJA is joining Shine A Light to dispel the darkness and to say: enough is enough. In the heart of New York City, we'll publicly display our Jewish identity as we light the menorah together and raise awareness about antisemitism.
We hope you'll participate in this national demonstration of Jewish pride — with powerful messages from key city and state leaders and lively performances by Jewish musicians — as we stand shoulder to shoulder with our greater community and allies.

¡Viva El Tango! Celebrate Master Tango Composer Piazzolla
A concert of dance, music and story
By Margaret Regan
Ed Flores
Jenna Johnson and Mauricio Vergara of Ballet Tucson in the music-and-dance concert Viva Piazzolla!
Viva Piazzolla!
Presented by Ballet Tucson, Tucson Guitar Society and the Rogue Theatre
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1
2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2
1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 3
Pima Community College Center for the Arts, 2202 W. Anklam Road
$45, $40 for seniors/students/military
When Astor Piazzolla was a small immigrant boy living in Greenwich Village in the 1920s, he learned to love the tango music of his native Argentina by listening to records.
By the time he was 8, he was playing the music himself, on the bandoneon, the concertina-like instrument essential to tango. Legend has it that his father had found the rare instrument in a New York City pawn shop. Piazzolla went on to become not only a bandoneon virtuoso, but a renowned composer of the music of nuevo tango.
This weekend, no fewer than three local arts groups (Ballet Tucson, the Tucson Guitar Society and Rogue Theatre), joined by an opera singer and a pair of musicians brought in from Italy, will celebrate his life and music in Viva Piazzolla!
A concert of dance, song and narrative, the production is one of the final events in the seventh annual Tucson Desert Song Festival, which has brought a host of musical stars to Tucson to perform with local artists over the last three weeks.
The Piazzolla show is "a big collaboration," enthuses Mary Beth Cabana, artistic director of Ballet Tucson. The company often works with outside artists, and the festival provides that opportunity each year.
"We've done something in the Tucson Desert Song Festival every year but one," she says.
The Piazzolla show is "dance-driven and music-driven," she notes. The pro company will deploy 33 dancers to the Pima College Proscenium stage to perform original "ballet-style tango." Choreographed primarily by the company's Chieko Imada, the concert includes some 20 dances with star turns by its leading dancers.
Prima ballerina Jenna Johnson dances the part of Piazzolla's first wife, Dedé Wolff, and Johnson's real-life husband, Daniel Precup, is Piazzolla. The two were regular dance partners for years, but Precup now dances infrequently, instead working as company balletmaster. (Also a choreographer, he composed three pieces for Piazzolla.)
In a dance that opens the show, the two make a striking return in a traditional tango duet, choreographed by John Dahlstrand.
"It gives them the chance to dance together again," Imada says.
The concert's live music comes through the efforts of Julia Pernet of the Tucson Guitar Society, who recruited the vocalist and musicians. She didn't have to look far to find the singer, Carlos Zapién; he lives right here in Tucson.
A successful opera and concert singer who's performed in the U.S., his native Mexico, Europe and Asia, working with such companies as Stuttgart Philharmonic and Oregon Opera, he's also director of music in Saint Augustine cathedral in downtown Tucson.
The Italian instrumentalists, the Giampaolo Bandini-Cesare Chiacchiaretta Duo, are tango musicians who are "specialists in the Piazzola repertory," Cabana says.
With Chiacchiaretta on bandoneon and Bandini on guitar, the pair have played across Europe, partnering with the likes of the Saint Petersburg Academic Philharmonic in Russia, among other orchestras. The two Italian musicians have a heritage in common with Piazzolla: his parents were Italian immigrants who had migrated to Argentina before coming to the U.S.
The two musicians play live for almost all of the dances, and occasionally they get the spotlight by playing alone on stage in between the dances.
The Rogue Theatre helped create a story line. Ballet Tucson fans will remember that the company did a different Piazzolla show, Passionately, Piazolla, for the first Song Festival in 2013. For that production, the dance troupe partnered with Chamber Music PLUS, a theater/music group, to create a music-dance drama, complete with script and actors speaking on stage.
Viva Piazzolla! is a different animal, a dance/live music piece with a far more impressionistic story line.
"This is a brand-new piece. It's not the same," Cabana explains. It's about the key events of Piazzolla's life "but this is not a soup-to-nuts telling of his life."
The two founding actors of Rogue, Cynthia Meier and Joseph McGrath, worked with Cabana and Imada to frame the story. They came up with a series of brief narrative fragments that will be heard off and on throughout the show.
"They did short recorded voice-overs that give insight into Piazzolla's life," Cabana says.
Dancers portray his love interests. After Johnson's turn as his first wife, Shannon Quirk and Caitlin Calligan take turns dancing Amelita Baltar, his mid-life passion. Megan Steffens dances Laura Escalada, his second wife. (Piazzolla died at 71 in 1992).
The concert, divided into two acts, helps chart the evolution of Piazzolla's music through dance. Act One focuses on traditional tango, a sexualized bar dance—often featuring same-sex partners—that arose in the late 19th century in the rough ports of Buenos Aires. The dancers' costumes are redolent of those times: the men wear suits and fedoras, the woman wear long, clingy dresses.
Set to Piazzolla's innovative "new tango," Act II has the dancers doing more contemporary dance and even some balletic pieces on pointe. The costumes change too, with the dresses getting shorter and the colors getting brighter.
"It was challenging," choreographer Imada says. "I had to research tango dances in film and elsewhere. I loved doing it. It's such beautiful music."
Dahlstrand, the company's lighting designer, also pitched in. An authority on tango who has performed the dance professionally with his group, Sueños Tangos, Dahlstrand advised Imada on tango moves. He also staged a one-month workshop to teach the ballet dancers a whole new way of moving.
Dancers used to uplift and airy arabesques have delighted in tango's angular slides across the ground.
"They love it," Imada said.

Amy's Journey
by Barbara Jorgensen Born into a troubled family, emotionally scarred by her fathers battle with mental illness, young Amy nonetheless believed deep in her heart that she could change her father and make him love her. This deep-seated but mistaken belief set the stage for the rest of her life and heavily influenced the paths she would walk as she grew into a young woman, then became a mother herself, and finally found the path that led to the loving arms of God. As she sought the love she had never received from her father or from other men in her life, she became an overachiever. On its good side, her ambition helped her achieve her dreams in school and as she made her way in the world; on its dark side, her ambition led her to make unwise choices in personal relationships, an issue which would haunt her until she finally realized God was trying to guide her back to Him. As she grew in her Christianity, Amy realized it was not her battle but Gods, and that she needed to open her heart to Him so that He would provide for all her needs. Inspirational yet heart wrenching, Amys Journey is one womans personal story of how the Lord helped her overcome lifes obstacles and succeed where it mattered most, in her heart. ABOUT THE AUTHOR A native of Guam, Barbara Jorgensen has resided in Salinas, California, most of her life. She lives with her husband, David, and her mother. She is employed as a realtor for Prudential California Realty in Monterey, California, and in her spare time enjoys writing, reading, and exercise. (2005, paperback, 152 pages)

Normally I plan for the day's meal the day before. One of the day I almost didn't plan for dinner. During lunch I was asking my kids whether they are ok with Chapathi or upma however they wanted Dosa. No dosa batter in the fridge. Was wondering what to do . Then I remember this Beet dosa I had at my friends place. I remembered that this doesn't require any fermentation. In one of the Dosa I sprinkled peanut powder (Store brought) that was super duper hit.. You should try. Run the dry roasted peanut with a pinch of salt if don't have any peanut powder. This can be served as snack too!
Grind soaked Rice with required water.
Colorful and healthy dosa.. I am sure adding peanut powder gives additional flavor to this yummy dosa!!
Healthy and tasty dosa . Instant Dosa recipes are instant hits in my household. Will try soon.
Lovely color. Healthy and delicious dosa recipe!

Biographical Sketch of Emma Stone Lawrence Blackwell
written by Danielle Huelster
Biographical Sketch of Emma Stone Lawrence Blackwell, written by Danielle Huelster. Included in Biographical Database of NAWSA Suffragists, 1890-1920, .
Biography of Emma Stone Lawrence Blackwell, 1851- 1920
By Danielle Huelster, Undergraduate Student, Rutgers University
Emma Stone Lawrence was born on January 28, 1851, in Gardner, Massachusetts. She was the eldest child of Henry Lawrence and Sarah Witt Stone. Emma was the niece of the famous suffragist Lucy Stone. Who developed a close relationship with her niece, sometimes acting like a second mother to young Emma. She urged Emma to "cultivate her taste for history" through education and self exploration in music, drawing, and language (she studied French). Lucy Stone also encouraged Emma to read newspapers to stay informed on national events, including the women's suffrage movement.
After her formal schooling, Emma became a schoolteacher and an assistant at The Women's Journal. After a few years, she gave up her profession to be a homemaker. On October 28, 1875, Emma married George Washington Blackwell (1832-1912), the younger brother of Henry B. Blackwell (1825-1909), who was Lucy Stone's husband. Elizabeth Blackwell, his sister, was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. George Blackwell started his career in Wisconsin as a wheat trader and land agent in the 1850s. He studied law in New York City and eventually went into the real estate business, amassing a small fortune. The couple lived in East Orange, New Jersey. In July 1876, the couple had their first child, Howard L. Blackwell. In 1880 their second son, George L. Blackwell, was born, but he died of pneumonia on September 22, 1886. Their daughter Anna Marian Blackwell was born in August of 1883, followed by a fourth child, George Kenyon Blackwell, who died at only 10 months. They adopted Frances Millette, whom they treated as both a daughter and a servant. Their son Howard earned three degrees from Harvard, including a bachelor's, a master's, and a PhD in physics. He was the comptroller of Harvard from 1906-1910, a lecturer in physics, and later entered into real estate. After her husband died, Emma Blackwell lived with her daughter Anna and son-in-law Charles until her death on February 5, 1920, of carcinoma of the liver. Emma Stone Lawrence Blackwell was 69 at the time of her death.
Throughout her life, Emma Stone Blackwell was active in multiple organizations pertaining to women's suffrage in both New Jersey and Massachusetts. She began by getting involved in local town organizations and eventually moved on to become the President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association's New Jersey chapter. In 1872, the first woman's club in the state of New Jersey was founded in East Orange, and Emma Blackwell was one its auditors. She was later elected president of the Woman's Club of Orange, which became the largest women's club in the state. She was also affiliated with the Orange Political Study Club, which was the first suffrage club to join the state federation in 1901.
Emma was a founder of the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association (NJWSA) and attended its initial meeting in February 1890. She served as its recording secretary in 1894-95. She served as the NJWSA secretary in 1900, historian in 1903, and president in 1905-07. A document from the thirty-ninth annual convention of National American Women Suffrage Association confirms that Emma L. Blackwell was the president of the New Jersey chapter of NAWSA in 1907. In the years that Emma was active in NJWSA, local suffrage groups worked to change public opinion on suffrage and worked on progressive reforms, including getting women appointed to municipal boards, building state reformatories for women, and improving working conditions for women and children. Emma Blackwell was an assistant on education, industry, legal and political equality, and, especially, the right of women to vote. She worked for The Woman's Journal, which her aunt Lucy founded, and was also a director for The Torch Bearer, a weekly newspaper devoted to the interests of women with a focus on education, industry, legal, and political equality, and especially, the right of women to vote.

Taook a photo before swimming at clear water Mulu. Water is very cool and clear, make my whole body feel fresh. Mulu is a nice place with many flora and fauna and it looks green and natural.
I heard that if you wanted to see monkeys or the hornbills, best time would be the 7am tour. Because my son was too naughty playing on the trip until there at 8.30am and there was no animals or birds - however the main attraction for this are actually the lovely trees. The walk to the skywalk is all on boardwalk. No torches are needed, but i recommend that you wear sneakers/shoes and not hiking boots or sandals. You need a good footing on these bridges.
Finally, our adventure trip 3D2N Mulu Caves at Mulu National park finish on day 2. In our trip, we was observe million of bats out of cave, using the boat made by the Mulu people and swim at clear water spring. We feel tied during the trip, but tied was disappear when we start getting closer to the finish trip. This is a photo with great smile before we leave the cave.
before proceeding to leave the Mulu Cave. Back to the resort, relax and sit a while at Mulu people home.


Everyone expects to turn on their tap and have clean, safe drinking water flow out. To make this happen requires the 24/7/365 commitment of water operations staff to ensure that an adequate supply of drinking water - in full compliance with all local, state and federal regulatory requirements - is delivered to Durham's customers every day. Another major public safety aspect of the system is maintaining adequate fire flow for fire suppression.
The staff of the Water Supply and Treatment Division operates the city's 2 water treatment facilities and the Lake Michie and Little River Lake pumping stations. Durham has 2 main sources of raw water supply: Lake Michie, which was completed in 1926, and Little River Reservoir, which was completed in 1987.
These 2 lakes have a combined safe yield of 37 million gallons per day (MGD). Lake water is delivered to the either of the city's treatment plants using a combination of gravity flow and electric and hydro-powered pumping for efficiency purposes. The staff also utilizes time of day pumping to keep electric costs as low as possible.
The Williams Water Treatment Plant (WTP) was constructed in 1917 and has a current capacity of 22 MGD. The Brown WTP was completed in 1979 and has a current capacity of 30 MGD. The annual daily average water production of the facilities combined was approximately 28.2 MGD for 2010, with a peak daily production of 38.84 MGD on July 29, 2011.
The American Water Works Association's Drink Tap website is a dedicated resource to improve public health, protect the environment, strengthen the economy and enhance our quality of life.

An Orthodox Jewish Visitor to Vienna? "Das ist nicht normal!"
When I arrived at my Pension in Vienna last week, I was informed that, because of a scheduling problem, I would have to move into another room on Saturday, and that I would not be able to use either room for four hours. When I tried to explain to the young woman at the desk that as an orthodox Jew, I do not travel or carry in the streets on my Sabbath, but rather that I eat, read, and rest in my room, she replied, "Das ist nicht normal," and then proceeded to tell me that she was a Catholic, and that she didn't do anything like this.
Of course, she was right. It is not normal for healthy tourists to spend so much time in their rooms. It is also not normal for them to stick their room keys in the holes of their belt so that they are not actually "carrying" the keys in the public domain, or to tear toilet paper the day before they use it. This is not normal even for Catholics, who believe in the virgin birth, incarnation, and transubstantiation, hardly normal phenomena.
The young woman wasn't trying to be nasty. On the contrary, she spoke simply and directly, without any trace of malice.
So why did her words bother me so much?
For one thing they were spoken in Vienna, a city with a long history of antisemitism that reached its peak in the Nazi period, by a person whose religious authorities had, until very recently, not spoken well of the Jews, to say the least.
Could I be pardoned a wee bit of over-sensitivity under these circumstances?
But more importantly, her words transported me to my high school years in the US, when I attended an Episcopalian prep school and often had to endure insensitive comments about Jews and Judaism. Those comments were also not made with any particular malice, and I can't say that they hurt me deeply. Yet any member of a stigmatized minority knows what I am talking about: the feeling of insult, of impotence, of not knowing how or when to speak up to the detractors – because to defend onself is to be guilty of the very oversensitivity that one is charged with….
As it turned out, I did spend close to four hours outside my room. The weather was beautiful; the Stadtpark was inviting; and I got to see extraordinarily kitschy statues of Strauss, Lehar, and Schubert. So I wasn't inconvenienced too much. It's not as if I was waiting at a checkpoint near Ramallah…
Still, that's the way it is here in Vienna for an oversensitive Jew. On the one hand, you are in a city whose Jewish population went from 170,000 to 7,000 within the space of a few years; a city that effectively rid itself of its greatest intellectuals, writers, professionals, politicians, artists, and architects because of National Socialism, where elderly Jews after the Anschluss were made to scrub the sidewalks with toothbrushes while laughing crowds stood by.
But with all the Viennese Antisemitismus from the fifteenth century to the Holocaust, there were tremendous achievements as well; think of Freud, Loos, Mahler, Schnitzler, and Roth, even Herzl. Vienna was the hub of the Hasburg Empire, and waves of immigrants from Galicia crowded into its streets around the First World War; it was a very Jewish city. So one leaves Vienna with ambiguous feelings, but that ambiguity seems to be part and parcel of the Jewish experience here. Nicht sehr gemütlich, perhaps, aber nicht jetzt so schlecht.
N.B. When the Magnes Zionist returns from Vienna to Jerusalem this coming Friday, the commentary will be more weighty. Until then, please forgive me. In a city where the word "kugel" is ubiquitous – yet refers to the ball of chocolate with Mozart's picture on it that tourists buy for souvenirs – it is difficult to be serious.

One thing I see, no matter where I land, is that information security and data privacy are driven by culture.
In over a decade working for the US Navy, the culture was expectedly one of security consciousness. Our government has many enemies; the threat to national security is very tangible. Data protection, in that environment, is a kind of obvious tenet.
Having left DoD and re-entered the private sector, I have found a real dichotomy between organizations bound by ubiquitous regulatory requirements – FIPS, PCI, HIPAA, SOX – and those who are not.
Call regulatory requirements what you will, but in the end, they are guiding structure that influences a culture of information security awareness for the better. The notion of compliance drives business decisions, and typically, it drives good decision making. If nothing else, even if it drives bad decision making, the organization does have an awareness – there is no ignorance on the topic of information security, let's say.
But those organizations not clearly bound by such regulations or industry standards, I have found, tend to flounder when it comes to decisions surrounding data protection. Choices can be made by semi-informed individuals and committees, often making dangerous assumptions along the way. Many, many organizations experience this, spanning all sizes, representing the entire spectrum of measurable success. An information security knowledge gap quietly dilates here, into which sensitive competitive data, customer records, PII, and all measure of everything else falls, awaiting third-party exploitation, insider exfiltration, and inevitable future liability.

Around the Country: Quotes
by Christopher Dodson
Executive Director, North Dakota Catholic Conference
We can learn a great deal from what is happening in other states. Here is a selection of quotes by state Catholic conference representatives from the last few months. To find out more about the activities of other state Catholic conferences, go to: www.nasccd.org.
"We cannot wait to put an end to the separation of families, the exploitation of workers, and the death of hundreds of human beings in the desert every year. This suffering must end."
Arizona Bishops on Need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform
"I am hopeful that in Colorado we will someday soon put an end to these senseless attacks on religious liberty,"
Jennifer Kraska, Colorado Catholic Conference
"Abortion-on-demand is legal in California, but no law or change in the law can make it moral or good."
Carol Hogan, California Catholic Conference, on bill to allow abortions by non-physicians
"Treating people fairly, which we support, is one thing; treating different types of relationships as if they were equivalent is another."
Michael Sheedy, Florida Catholic Conference, on "domestic partnership" legislation
"[W]ith scant days left in the session, shouldn't lawmakers be focused on the future and making it secure for its residents by passing a budget that protects the poor and vulnerable, and by paying down a backlog of unpaid bills that imperils services for those in need?"
Robert Gilligan, Catholic Conference of Illinois, reacting to calls for quick passage of a bill to redefine marriage.
"Frankly, it has proven difficult to pass abortion-related legislation when 1) A great majority of Democrats oppose further regulation; and 2) a few Republicans will not vote for restrictions on abortions or regulation of clinics because they believe it is legitimizing legal abortion."
Tom Chapman, Iowa Catholic Conference
"We measure governmental policies by asking this primary question: how will this policy affect poor persons. Today, the Governor answered correctly." Patrick Delahanty, Kentucky Catholic Conference, on the governor's decision to expand Medicaid
"Unfortunately this referendum will only divide the prolife community and drain scarce time and resources from other more important prolife goals." Mary Ellen Russell, Maryland Catholic Conference, on efforts to refer the recent abolition of the death penalty
"We believe reforming Medicaid—in a manner that is acceptable—follows a moral track that will lead to sound public policy and an increased standard of living in our state."
Michigan Catholic Conference and the state's Catholic Health Care systems
"The outcome, though expected, is no less disappointing."
Minnesota Catholic Conference on state senate's vote to redefine marriage
"Opposition to Medicaid expansion will not prevent the Affordable Care Act from being implemented."
Moe Wosepka, Montana Catholic Conference
"Until it is clear beyond reasonable dispute that unmarried adult relationships, including same-sex relationships, do not pose risks for children, it would be irresponsible to authorize adoption pursuant to such relationships."
James Cunningham, Nebraska Catholic Conference, testifying in opposition to bill to allow joint adoption by unmarried adults
"It is unnecessary, extreme and dangerous. . . .Not only does the bill defy public opinion, but it also defies common sense."
New York Catholic Conference on Governor Andrew Cuomo's attempt to expand abortion access in a state that already has the nation's highest abortion rate
"The US Department of Defense . . . has put in place [programs] to prevent suicide. What message would New Jersey be sending to our military if as a state we passed a bill encouraging troubled individuals to take the path of suicide?"
Patrick R. Brannigan, New Jersey Catholic Conference, testifying against measure to legalize assisted suicide
"Given the nearly $1 million cost that a Special Session for legislative redistricting already represents, the Texas bishops think it not only reasonable, but financially prudent, to ask legislators to use their time efficiently to fulfill their responsibilities to protect life and defend the unborn."
Jeffrey Patterson, Executive Director of the Texas Catholic Conference in letter to Governor Rick Perry asking the governor to include pro-life legislation in special session
"The Catholic Church in Washington State and its affiliated organizations do not now, nor will we in the future, offer coverage for abortion in our health care plans." Seattle Archbishop Peter Sartain testifying against bill mandating all health plans to cover abortion
"Public policy should not compound that tragedy [of poverty and indebtedness] by encouraging businesses that prey on ignorance and indebtedness."
John Huebscher, Wisconsin Catholic Conference, in response to legislation that would exempt rent-to-own contracts from the state's consumer protection laws

Unfortunately, a lot stuff on anything older than about the 90's hasn't made it online.
This is unlike any Brunner I've seen til now. Is the other side pretty much the same?
Is it a vane type, or do you know what it is? Maybe another pic if it's much different?
Finally, I don't suppose you can make out that model number, either?


Many of you by now have heard the news that author and Ross School of Business professor C.K. Prahalad passed away Friday, after a brief illness, at age 68.
I spoke with Prahalad last September, when his seminal book The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, was being released in a new edition. A Harvard Business School graduate, Prahalad will be remembered by many as an innovator who stressed that businesses could play a key role in poverty alleviation by reaching out to consumers in developing markets and finding ways to address their needs.
We spoke of some of the companies that had made profits doing so, such as Thomson-Reuters, GSK, Microsoft and DSM. At the end of our conversation, he stated, "If you want to build a Wal-Mart, Casas Bahia or Ford, start with the poor. The poor can make you innovate and build great companies."
