The ICE Docs That Cost a Mother of Three a Broken Arm and a Beat-Down
Stephen Lemons | March 18, 2009 | 5:03pm
I've obtained the documents the MCSO was so hot to have Maria del Carmen Garcia-Martinez mark with her fingerprint. You can see them for yourself, here.
Initially, I believed that there was just one page, but now I see there are four pages that the MCSO had Garcia-Martinez put her fingerprint on. Garcia-Martinez, who cannot read or speak English, believed the paperwork was a voluntary removal form to send her back to Mexico, and so refused to cooperate. She relented after six MCSO guards broke her arm, and left her in a room for several hours. When eight MCSO returned later that night and told her to give up her fingerprint or else, she allowed them to put her finger on the documents.
"She gave her fingerprint only after being in a cell for hours after being beaten up," observed Garcia-Martinez's new lawyer Danny Ortega. "This document did not require a fingerprint."
Indeed, the forms merely state that she will be going before an immigration judge, what her rights and responsibilities are, and that she acknowledges receipt. One of them is a list of immigration lawyers for her to contact.
For this, they broke a housemom's arm? What's next, waterboarding as they read corn vendors their rights?
According to Dan Pochoda, the legal director of ACLU of Arizona, it doesn't matter what the paperwork involves, you have the right to refuse, and the authorities are not allowed to use force to change your mind.
" You can't force someone to sign," he told me. "The whole point of signing is that you voluntarily attest to whatever the fact is that you're signing. If you're using force, the whole reason for signing is turned upside down."
Garcia-Martinez gave her fingerprints upon booking, which is required. But beyond that, Pochoda stated that inmates have a right not to sign or put their fingerprint on something in lieu of signing. If someone doesn't want to sign a document, an officer can indicate on the doc that the individual declined.
"OK, so they sign for the person," Pochoda said. "They say, `So and so refused to sign,' and we have five other officers here (as witnesses) That's only to protect themselves anyway. They can sign and say, `So and so refused to sign.' You can't use force."
On some of the docs, you can barely see, next to the fingerprint, what looks like the inscription, "Refused to sign." The 287(g) officer signing off on the papers is one A. Reese.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Vinnie Picard, the matter has been handed over to ICE's Office of Personal Responsibility, which will be investigating the matter. More than that needs to be done, however. This woman's civil rights have been violated, and yes, nativists, even illegal immigrants have rights under the U.S. Constitution, whether you like it or not.
The woman was assaulted, so there are aggravated assault charges someone in this state needs to pursue. (Won't hold my breath on that one.) And the feds should see this as just another reason Arpaio's 287(g) should be pulled. There is absolutely no excuse for this sort of behavior from law enforcement. Their badges should not protect the perpetrators from justice.
In any case, there's more on the Garcia-Martinez case in this week's Bird column, so please check that out as well.


Time – Using technology can undoubtedly save time. Reorganizing a message using cut and paste is much quicker than rewriting the whole message. Almost instant access to the right page in a commentary, or almost instant concordance searches are amazing innovations in our generation. But technology can also sap time. My mind immediately jumps to two, one of which I haven't mentioned this week. Social networking can be a massive time sapper. So can preparing Powerpoint. I haven't mentioned Powerpoint because it is really a technology designed to help presentation, rather than preparation. I will say this though – it is worth pondering whether the two or three hours (and more!) had been spent in improving the oral clarity of the message, would the message have been more compelling, gripping, clear, etc.? In many cases, the answer is a definite yes in my opinion. Anyway, I'll leave powerpoint and similar for another series.
Distraction – Using technology offers instant access to so much, but it can also offer distraction from the task at hand. I'm not saying we shouldn't use computers (and alarm clocks, phones, etc.) I am saying that we shouldn't be naïve to the distraction that technology, especially the connected technologies online, can bring to our week. Maybe it would be worth keeping an accurate time log to discover just how distracted you get in a typical week!
Booklessness – I mentioned this earlier in the week. With all the benefits gained from online libraries and electronic books, etc., there does seem to be something lost when we don't have a physical, tangible, real paper book on the desk before us. It may be hard to explain, but there does seem to be something about actually looking at paper, rather than being gradually blinded by the screen. There is something about actually retaining information, rather than merely being an expert in where to find it.
Prayerlessness – I pray when I'm working on the computer. But not always. Sometimes the combination of overwhelming information and the urgent though not always important needs, not to mention the noise of social media . . . well it can add up to seasons of prayerlessness. Even if that season is an hour, it seems to me that that is too long. If I weren't using technology, would I be prayerless for an hour? Our churches need preachers who are walking very closely with God, who pray, who read . . . people that used to be referred to as "divines." I don't think it is just the label that has gone out of fashion.
Thanks very much for this blog, I find it very helpful.
I have read that writing (pen and paper) greatly helps things to be committed to memory. Something to do with the tracing of the shapes of the letters/words with the hand.
I certainly much prefer this method, its just a pain to restructure whereas this is simple on a pc.
Makes sense to me, Ben. Actually, in terms of preparing for an exam, I find a hand written mind-map is the best way to creatively relate information and imprint it on the mind. I think there's a lot to be said for sermon mapping … maybe I should go there sometime on the site.
You are so right Peter. There are very real downside when connecting technologies and preaching. I have in my mind those who might like to cut and paste from commentaries and then then think that because they are giving accurate information about the text they are preaching well. This is an incredible danger. As those who regularly preach, we need to preach what God has given to us for the congregation, not what someone has written in a commentary. Our congregations need to have us bring fresh and relevant Holy Spirit inspired insights from the text. I have found that reading the commentaries give me ideas that might assist me to think along different paths than I might have personally come up with can be very valuable. But that said, unless I am personally soaking in the text and then connecting the text to the hearer in the way the Lord has directed by His Holy Spirit, I might be tempted to think that preaching is relaying information about the text to the congregation. I fear that there is way more of this going on than the Lord would want.
Steve, thanks for this – really helpful input. We don't preach commentaries (but some do), and nor should we preach like a commentary (though some do). Cutting and pasting is a real danger. I would say a commentary only should be directly quoted if it has a particularly stunning turn of phrase (rare, even in the good ones!) While a commentary may be strong on explanation, it must of necessity be both cursory and general in its application. Our task is to do the best we can with the meaning of the text, and target that uniquely and specifically at our listeners (cut and paste simply can't do that). Commentary use is a key issue, I'm pondering writing some blog posts on this matter.
Ok, thanks for the nudge – next week, watch this space.
I agree. I lalso am interested in your sermon mapping as well.
I have also found that technology can, but not always, be a hindrance. I normally try to type a manuscript for my sermon and I find that typing (or writing) helps the flow of thought come naturally. From my manuscript I usually form my outline. I find that typing it out first always helps during the preaching of my outline because my mind goes back to what I had typed before.
The only downside I have really found with technology is a loss of memory. I find that I often remember the place of a passage of Scripture if I look it up directly verses doing a word or phrase search on a computer.
Thanks Steven, I know what you mean. It is interesting how preaching a passage makes it stick too, versus just reading it.


These are no ordinary schools.
From the grounds up, the primary and elementary schools at the Carter G. Woodson Education Complex are holistically designed to focus on what matters most; young learners and their needs.
"Our goal was to create an environment that promotes the health and mental well-being of our students and results in better engagement and learning outcomes," says Pennie Allen, Principal, Buckingham County Primary School.
The innovative campus takes advantage of every space and surface to create a Whole Child-centric environment that supports teaching and learning both inside and outside the unconventional classrooms.
"The learning environment is enriched by the atmospheric use of color as it reacts to abundant natural daylight, a variety of materials and textures to emphasize the tactile and sensory nature of learning, and the furniture, which brings a completeness to the strategic desire to provide resilient settings that afford educators and students with options to interact with their learning environments," explains Dina Sorensen, Project Designer, VMDO Architects. "In other words, every design decision was made meaningful and rich with pedagogical opportunity."
The centerpiece of the campus is the Dining Commons, a multifaceted learning environment that serves as a shared, connecting space between the primary and elementary schools, and with the community as a whole.
The Dining Commons include a teaching kitchen, food and nutritional displays, open serveries for cooking demonstrations, a food lab and small group learning lounge, a scratch bakery, a dehydrating food composter, lots of natural daylight, an outdoor dining terrace, and edible and academic gardens.
Flexible furniture arrangements are pivotal design elements integral to the function of the Dining Commons as an enriched learning environment.
"The VS LiteTables, Compass-VF chairs, and Series 2000 screens make it easy for educators, parents and community groups to transition from restaurant-style dining to project learning, presentation and performance sharing or special event settings. Providing lightweight, durable and flexible tables and chairs empowers kids. They love being able to sit in a variety of places with furniture that is sized appropriately and very comfortable. The teachers love how easy the furniture is to rearrange for different learning activities," says Ms. Sorensen.
"The classrooms, small group learning labs, media lab, intimate nooks and open spaces are all designed to facilitate individual, group and collaborative learning. The design anticipates the evolution of educational delivery methods and combines both home classrooms as collaborative centers, including a variety of spaces and places outside the classroom. As practices expand to include the customization of programs for personalized, individualized learning, as well as peer-to-peer and blended learning environments, the campus is poised to adapt and provide," explains Ms. Sorensen.
VS furniture is used extensively throughout the learning environments to give teachers and students a versatile and practical toolkit for hands-on and digital learning.
"The three key traits that make a flexible environment possible are mobility, agility and adaptability. Responsive settings are easy to alter as emergent learning opportunities arise," says Ms. Sorensen. "The VS furniture fulfills all those basic needs while also providing critically important health co-benefits, and therefore better learning outcomes, by promoting less sedentary behavior through more active, movement-rich environments.
Every grade level has PantoSwing-LuPo and PantoMove-LuPo chairs. They adjust up and down, swivel and rock, letting students change their sitting position thoughout the day, which research shows is critical to academic success.
The design and research team behind the innovative campus is gathering data to quantify the influence and impact of the design on learning outcomes, physical activity levels and healthy eating behaviors. There are no formal results yet, but Principal Allen believes they've already succeeded on many levels.
"The fact that the kids don't want to go home at the end of the school day is really rewarding," says Ms. Sorensen.

Q: load file depending on browser size Just a quik question about the right syntax. I want to load the jquery file only if the browser screen is < 1100px.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
  if ($(window).width() < 1100) {

    //load file

     }
  });
</script>

I want to load src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js but can't find the syntax.
Thanks!

A: I assume you don't have jQuery when you are trying to fetch the window width, so something like this:
<script>
    var width = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    if ( width < 1100 ) {
        var s = document.createElement('script'),
            p = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
        s.async = true;
        s.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js';
        p.parentNode.insertBefore(s, p);
    }
</script>

If you have jQuery, it's a bit simpler syntax:
<script>
if ( $(window).width() < 1100 ) {
    $('<scr'+'ipt>').attr({
        src: 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js',
        async: true
    }).insertBefore($('script:first'));
}
</script>

I don't think you will "unload" a version of jQuery by loading another lower version, but that is your call :)

A: $(document).ready(function() {
    if ($(window).width() < 1100) {
       var newscript = document.createElement('script');
           newscript.type = 'text/javascript';
           newscript.async = true;
           newscript.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js';
       (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]
        || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(newscript);
    }
});

High PR
There's a scandal going on around these parts, and it's got to do with "high PR". Google PageRank is something that meant a lot to people in the past, in that people like to have points of comparison.
PageRank was especially important when it came to web directories, because a directory that enjoyed a high PageRank could charge high submission fees and still not drive away submitters. Some of these web directories even went so far as to incorporate their PageRank into the name of the directory, while many others made a point of mentioning it o n the home page of the directory. Historically, these have tended not to be among the better directories, yet it was a useful advertising gimmick.
Approximately six months ago, Google spokespeople announced that it would no longer be updating its public PageRank, and it had long before made it clear that people should not look to PageRank as a measure of the value of a website.
Yet, there are tons of web directories that still claim to have a high PR, many of which weren't even directories at the time that Google last updated its public PageRank.
Still, every SEO forum is filled with people who still consider "high PR" to be the only useful measure of a website or directory.
Sure, it's quite likely that Google continues to use PageRank as one of the variables in its internal algorithm, but this is hardly useful to anyone outside of Google, given that the public is no longer privy to this information. Oh yes, there are still some outdated browser plugins that will display a PageRank number, but this number hasn't been updated in a long time and, unless Google changes its mind, it won't be.
Because there are still those who believe that PageRank is an important number, you'll find disreputable web directories heralding their "high PR". I have seen some of their posts in SEO forums and, since I am always interested in looking at directories that I am not yet familiar with, I often take a closer look. In doing so, I frequently find that they have only a few links and nothing in the way of the amount of content that would earn them the PageRank that they claim, even when Google was updating its public PageRank.
When I check the domain out in the Internet Archive (WayBack Machine), frequently I find that the domain wasn't even a web directory at the time that Google last updated its public PageRank.
How does that happen? Well, there are ways to fake PageRank, and people have been doing that for years. Others have been known to hire hackers to place hidden back-links on authority sites. More often, however, the answer is that someone has bought an expired domain that had PageRank from its previous existence, slapped a cheap directory script onto it, and advertised it as a "high PR" directory.
These types of directories are no more representative of the web directory industry than a fake Rolex is of the well-known watch brand. The owners of these fake web directories are merely trying to hoax people into thinking they're more reputable than they are, making claim to that which they have not earned.
Reputable web directories will generally highlight the quality of their product rather than the PageRank of their index page, so when a directory trumpets its high PR, that could be a sign of trouble. You should either take a closer look or walk away.
PageRank was never a reliable indicator of quality, but it was once a useful metric. Today, when you come across people who are emphasizing the PageRank rather than the quality of their directory, it is a sign that something may be wrong.

Nel corso della carriera ha giocato nella National Hockey League.

Carriera
McCarthy giocò a livello giovanile per cinque stagioni con i Toronto Marlboros, formazione della Ontario Hockey Association prima di fare il proprio esordio nella stagione 1955-56 nella Western Hockey League. Un anno più tardi entrò a far parte dell'organizzazione dei Detroit Red Wings, franchigia con cui fece il proprio edsordio in NHL disputando però solo 36 partite in tre stagioni.

Nel corso della carriera infatti giocò quasi sempre nelle leghe minori nordamericane come la Western Hockey League o l'American Hockey League,  conquistando il titolo della Calder Cup con gli Hershey Bears. Nella stagione 1960-61 fece la sua seconda e ultima esperienza in NHL con i Boston Bruins; nel frattempo McCarthy stava giocando nella EPHL, lega di sviluppo della NHL nella quale venne scelto per due anni di fila nell'All-Star Team.

Dopo altre due stagioni in WHL si trasferì nella Central Hockey League presso i Tulsa Oilers; concluse la stagione 1964-65 con 97 punti in 68 partite vincendo il titolo di capocannoniere della lega. L'ottima stagione in CHL valse a McCarthy un'altra esperienza in AHL con il farm team dei Montreal Canadiens, i Cleveland Barons.

Nell'estate del 1967 durante l'NHL Expansion Draft McCarthy fu scelto dai Pittsburgh Penguins, una delle sei nuove franchigie iscritte alla National Hockey League, tuttavia trascorse l'intera stagione ancora in AHL con i Baltimore Clippers. Concluse l'esperienza in AHL nel 1970 dopo due stagioni con i Rochester Americans, mentre il ritiro dall'attività agonistica giunse tre anni più tardi dopo aver giocato nella lega senior dell'Ontario.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition was the first government sponsored expedition into what is currently Western part of the United States. The expedition began in 1804 in St. Louis and made its way to the western most point of the country – the Pacific Coast. The idea behind the expedition came from the sitting President, Thomas Jefferson. As soon as the Louisiana Purchase was ratified, Jefferson worried that other countries might try to lay claim on the newly acquired vast land area. Jefferson put together a team to explore and chart portions of the land, make contact with the native inhabitants, record the climate and wildlife, and search for a northwest passage river passage to the Pacific Ocean.
The expedition was led by Meriwether Lewis and his friend William Clark. The two leaders and their team spent the better part of two years going through this area, often encountering dangerous problems in the form of wildlife and Native Americans who were already living on the land. Lewis and Clark had a number of assignments when going on the trip. Firstly, Jefferson wanted them to chart the land for exploration. A route from the east to the west was of paramount importance, so other people could eventually make their way to this land and build homes, towns and cities.
Aside from conquest and potential settlements, Jefferson also found himself curious about the geographic possibilities that the land held. He wanted to know all about the different wildlife growing there, such as plants and animals. Studying the terrain would help them know what materials and equipment they needed to move people into those areas. Jefferson also wanted the possibility of trade with Native American tribes. Lewis and Clark were given a few maps of the area, along with journals to write down their experiences. Eventually they were to make their way back to St. Louis with all their findings.
The man who put this mission together, Thomas Jefferson, was the President of the United States at the time. Jefferson served as the second Vice-President and third President of the country, with his term as President lasting from 1801 to 1809. He spent much of his life as a politician, starting at the Second Continental Congress in Virginia in 1775. He served as a governor, Minister to France, Secretary of State and Vice-President before getting the top job.
Meriweather Lewis and William Clark were the two explorers in charge of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Lewis spent his life as an explorer, soldier and politician, with the expedition his greatest achievement. Prior to being given this task by President Jefferson, Lewis served in the Virginia militia, where he fought in conflicts such as the Whiskey Rebellion.
He eventually joined the United States army in 1795, where he served as an Ensign, which is comparable to a lieutenant in modern armies. His service for the military received plenty of praise, with Lewis rising through the ranks to become a Captain, before retiring in 1801.
Lewis received an offer to become an aid of President Jefferson's in 1801. The two were acquainted through their social circles in Virginia, with Lewis playing a role in various political groups at the time. He served as a key aid for Jefferson, giving him information about the different personnel in the United States army, along with their political affiliations and alliances. Given his trust in Lewis, it made sense for Jefferson to task him with an expedition to explore the western parts of the country.
William Clark also spent time in the military during his life. He fought in the Northwest Indian War in Ohio, and played an important role in their victories against the Wea Indians. Unfortunately, Clark was also a part of the unfortunate raid on a Shawnee hunting camp, who meant no harm to the Americans, which resulted in the deaths of eight tribe members, including women and children.
Clark took on a job as the captain of the Clarksville, Indiana militia in 1790. Most of his time in uniform was spent fighting Native Americans, including battles against the Creek, Cherokee and the Northwest Indian War. His command resulted in the deaths of a number of Canadians and Native people during the 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers.
Two years later, he retired from service and went back to his home in Louisville. He spent the next seven years there, before Meriwether Lewis recruited him and asked him to take part in the exploration of the west for the Corps of Discovery.
Lewis was also a slave owner, having used them to tend his plantation in Louisville. It is noted that he also took one of his slaves, York, with him on the expedition. In fact, the presence of York played an important role in negotiating with the Native tribes in the west, because they were fascinated with the man's appearance.
The expedition began on the 14th of May, 1804 when the Corps of Discovery left Camp Dubois and met Meriweather Lewis in St. Charles, Missouri. They began moving west along the Missouri River, quickly passing the only known European-American settlement in the area – La Charrette.
The first and only fatal casualty of this expedition was Sergeant Charles Floyd, who passed away due to acute appendicitis. His fellow crew members buried him near present day Sioux City, Iowa. The rest of the expedition included its fair share of dangers, but no one died as a result of those encounters.
It did not take long for the expedition to meet a number of Indian tribes. They encountered a total of 12 different indigenous groups, establishing relationships with all of them. Some encounters were more difficult than others, but none included violence or death. In fact, the tribes they met on their way to the west helped them a great deal. Without the experience of these tribesmen and women, the expedition's members would likely have perished during the harsh winter, since they did not know anything about the land they were exploring.
The 1804-1805 winter saw the group erect Fort Mandan, in the present-day North Dakota. Before they left their winter camp, they decided to send a kneelboat to St. Louis with a number of previously unknown specimens they had found on their journey thus far. They encountered a few more Indian tribes, which gave Lewis a chance to compile his journal specific to these indigenous people. He titled it A Statistical View of the Indian Nations Inhabiting the Territory of Louisiana. Within his journal, he wrote about the indigenous people's tribe names, trading methods, locations, the water routes they most commonly used and other interesting facts. It proved invaluable to the Americans, with President Jefferson eventually passing along the journal to the American Congress.
While her role was greatly expanded in the various works of fiction about this expedition, Sacagawea did play a pivotal role in helping translate messages between the party and the remaining native tribes they encountered. Even her presence, and her child's, with the party probably comforted any Natives they saw, who would have felt less threatened about seeing a group of white men exploring the territory. It is interesting that the trip's journals show Clark had a very positive impression of Sacagawea, while Lewis did not respect her at all. She and other natives were often referred to as "squaws" or "savages" in these journals as well.
The rest of the journey saw them pass through The Clearwater River, Snake River, Celilo Falls and modern-day Oregon. When they spotted Mount Hood and the nearby stratovolcanoes, they knew they had reached the Pacific Ocean. They spent their second winter on the coast, struggling to survive the bitter cold and their dwindling food supplies. The party had relied on the elk population in the areas for sustenance, but the animals moved away from their usual sports deeper into the mountains. With almost no money or goods on them for trading purposes, they could not buy food from any nearby tribes.
As they struggled through that winter, the party had a decision to make. Stay at their current location near the Colombia River, or move towards what is now Astoria, Oregon. They voted on the matter, allowing both Sacagawea and Clark's slave to participate in the voting. Many historians believe this was the first time a woman and a slave were allowed to vote on a matter in the United States.
Having survived this deadly winter, the group eventually made their way back to St. Louis in the middle of 1806. On this return journey, the group split up into two for a brief period, with Lewis patrolling the Marias River and Clark exploring a region inhabited by the Crow tribe, which is modern-day Montana. While Lewis and his group were exploring the Marias River, they encountered men from the Blackfeet nation. This is the one and only time violence broke out involving the group, and two members of the Blackfeet were killed by Lewis's men.
The groups eventually reunited along the Missouri River and made their way back to St. Louis, having successfully completed all aspects of the mission assigned by Thomas Jefferson a little over two years earlier.
When looking at the results and impact of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it is important to analyze the trip from multiple perspectives. If you look at it from the point of view of the Native tribes in the area, this was the end of life as they knew it. Their encounter with Lewis and Clark might have seemed innocuous at first, but that expedition was the catalyst for migration from the east to west, which further displaced those tribes and left them without much land to call home.
In terms of relevance to the Americans and Europeans, this expedition began the influx of trading, exploring and immigration into that region. While Lewis and Clark did not personally take part in the fur trade of the region or the mass migrations, their expedition helped make all of that possible.
Much of the area acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, and beyond, was unknown to Americans at that time. However, Lewis and Clark's detailed journals about the topography, biology, ecology and indigenous peoples of the region helped the Americans accomplish all of their goals pertaining to the west.
Between them, Lewis and Clark took care of all the geographical notations required about the western lands. Lewis was in charge of the astronomical side of the research, while Clark charted courses and created expedition maps for others to follow. The two also wrote a lot about the ecological factors they encountered, which helped Americans understand how to farm that land and best explore it for minerals. Lewis and Clark took down detailed notes of the plant life they saw, along with any new animal species not native to the eastern parts of the country.
Despite the many horror stories of American interactions with the indigenous people during those years, Lewis and Clark had good intentions when they explored that region. Jefferson did not want to conquer the land of those indigenous tribes. Instead, he wanted to establish trade deals with them, which would ensure the United States emerged as the major power in the region, instead of the Spanish, English or French. They met, interacted and negotiated with many tribes, establishing deals for trade and informing the tribes that America had acquired the land in purchase deals from other entities.

America's Forefathers And True History!
Thanks for sharing this Doug. It is an expedition I knew nothing about so I found it an interesting history lesson.
Great story. I'd like to visit Fort Clastsop myself.
One of America's greatest adventures. Very brave people. Interesting observation about the votes of a slave and a woman (native woman, at that) as voting decision makers.
We visited Fort Clatsop many years ago when our sons were young. We had previously filled them in on the basic details of the story.
Park rangers dressed as the explorers took the roles of the expedition leaders. My youngest son asked,"Which one is supposed to be him?" "Who do you mean?" I said. "You know," he said, "Lewison Clark."
I guess we hadn't made it clear that there were two leaders.


Bronchogenic cyst is a rare clinical entity that occurs due to abnormal development of the foregut; the majority of bronchogenic cysts have been described in the mediastinum and they are rarely found in an extrathoracic location.
We describe the case of an intra-abdominal bronchogenic cyst of the mesentery, incidentally discovered during an emergency laparotomy for a perforated gastric ulcer in a 33-year-old Caucasian man.
Bronchogenic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subdiaphragmatic masses, even in an intraperitoneal location.
The laryngotracheal groove appears at the end of the third week of gestation in the embryonic foregut ; the dorsal portion of the foregut elongates to form the esophagus, and the ventral portion ultimately differentiates into the respiratory tract, with ciliated epithelium lining both the fetal esophagus and trachea [1–3]. Bronchogenic cyst and esophageal duplications are clinical malformations due to abnormal development of the foregut.
Bronchogenic cysts form from accessory ventral buds arising from the foregut distal to the future lung at about the fifth week of intra-uterine life; the majority of bronchogenic cysts have been described in the mediastinum (90%, most commonly in the posterior aspect of the superior mediastinum [4–8]) and they are rarely found in an extrathoracic location; a small number of them have been reported in abdominal location, with prevalence in the retroperitoneal space [9–12].
We report a bronchogenic cyst incidentally discovered as a small intra-peritoneal mass in our patient, who was admitted to our surgical unit for acute abdominal pain due to gastric ulcer perforation.
Our patient, a 33-year-old Caucasian man, was referred to our institution for acute abdominal pain; the symptoms had begun two days earlier as a mild epigastric pain that localized the following day in the right iliac fossa. He had no instances of nausea or vomiting at admission, a body temperature of 37.2°C, a white blood cell count of 20.30 cells/mm3 (polymorphonuclear leukocytes 84.6%) and sluggish peristalsis. He had a history of misuse of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage his back pain without any medical prescription.
Plain X-rays of his abdomen did not show pneumoperitoneum or fluid levels; plain X-rays of his chest were also normal. An abdominal ultrasound scan showed a 3.2 cm pre-aortic mass and some fluid in the Douglas pouch (Figure 1).
Ultrasonography showing a 3.2 cm pre-aortic mass.
Our patient underwent a laparotomy, which revealed some purulent fluid with mild inflammation of the appendix; the jejunum and ileus were normal. An exploration of the supramesocolic space revealed a gastric perforation of the anterior wall just before the duodenum (Figures 2 and 3).
Perforated gastric ulcer before suture ligation.
An appendectomy and suture ligation of the gastric ulcer was performed. Arising from the ileal mesentery was a 5 cm spherical brown mass that on histological examination was revealed to be a bronchogenic cyst (a cyst lined with pseudostratified columnar and ciliated cuboidal epithelium, with a wall of smooth muscle bundles and mucinous glands) (Figures 4 and 5).
Ileal mesentery mass revealed on histological examination to be a bronchogenic cyst.
Ileal mesentery mass (5 cm) revealed on histological examination to be a bronchogenic cyst.
Our patient was discharged on the twelfth post-operative day.
Bronchogenic cysts originate from an accessory lung bud of the primitive foregut after the third week of embryonic life. Most commonly they migrate caudally with the esophagus and are eventually found in the posterior mediastinum near the carina, attached to the tracheobronchial tree or to the esophagus. Rarely the cyst may separate completely from its origin and may be found in unusual sites, such as pericardium, skin [13, 14] or in intra-spinal locations. Most bronchogenic cysts are small and are usually discovered incidentally because patients are asymptomatic, though sometimes there can be epigastric or left upper quadrant abdominal pain. Malignant transformation is rare .
A subdiaphragmatic location is extremely rare, with only about 20 cases reported in the literature [13–19]. This is due to the migration of the cyst prior to the fusion of the pleuroperitoneal membrane. Our patient's cyst was unilocular and arose from the ileal mesenterium, and was filled with mucin.
Bronchogenic cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subdiaphragmatic masses, even in intra-peritoneal location.
Thanks to Maria Antonietta Ricci MD and to Nancy Hardies for their critical revisions of the manuscript.


Manali, The Hush Post: A 25-seater electric bus finally made its way through the serpentine roads to the famous Rohtang Pass. Though it was flagged off a month and a half back, it could only ply after finishing the paper work and after the taking the other necessary clearance from the National Green Tribunal (NGT). It did not ply on Tuesday being a maintenance day for the Border Road Organisation (BRO). It will become a regular feature from today onwards, as and when the weather gods allow.
The bus leaves for the Rohtang Pass at 8:30 am from the Manali Bus Stand. It takes two and a half hours to reach the Pass where it will stop for two hours. The two-way fare seems to be quite reasonable as compared to the permit fee of Rs 550 and hassle-full permission required for use of private car. The taxi operators on the other hand fleece tourists charging a whooping Rs 5000. Meanwhile, the mercury has dipped down 3 notches below the normal temperature with icy cold winds sweeping the region. Light snow had been reported in Lahaul Spiti a few days back and weather is likely to play spoilsport till about November 19. In a surprise move, the government has decided to allow vehicular movement between Kullu and Lahaul via the Rohtang Pass till Dec 31 depending on the weather conditions. Generally the route is closed for vehicular traffic from November 15 onwards. As usual, rescue posts have been set up at Marhi on the Manali side and Koksar on the Lahaul side for any unforeseen incidents.

Steph Curry joins other NBA stars in gun safety campaign
by Victoria Massie
Some of our favorite sports stars are redirecting their passion on-the-court to major off-the-court issues.
Through a partnership between Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun safety advocacy group, and the NBA, basketball stars like Steph Curry, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony, are working on an ad-campaign to bring awareness to gun violence and the stories of gun violence survivors.
The statistics regarding gun violence in the United States are sobering, to say the least. According to ShootingTracker.com, in 2015, there have been more mass shootings—defined as shootings that include at least four victims—than days in the year. The week immediately following the Thanksgiving holiday, there were two mass shootings: one at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs, CO, and a second at a holiday party in San Bernadino, CA. Additionally, The Washington Post reported earlier this year that people are inadvertently getting shot by toddlers weekly.
The United States is unique in these respects, and much of it has to do with gun access. According to The Washington Post, Americans comprise little over 4 percent of the global population but own 42 percent of the world's private firearms. Many have called for regulations, including President Barack Obama during increasingly exasperated addresses to the nation following a mass shooting that have become all too frequent.
Unfortunately, political standstills have hindered efforts to change access, particularly by evoking the second amendment's right to bear arms.
The campaign ads will begin airing during the Christmas holiday.
Check out more of the campaign's videos here.

Eclipse Automation Retains Canada's Best Managed Companies Designation For Fourth Year In A Row

Q: SQL QUERY SELECT ...COUNT(...)>5 I have the following tables:
USER(iduser, fname, lname);

TRANSACTION(idtrans,iduser,iddoc,datetrans);

I have to list all the users that have more than 5 borrowed documents, so I did this:
SELECT u.fname, u.lname
FROM USERS u, TRANSACTION t
WHERE t.iduser=u.iduser HAVING count(t.iduser)>5;

BUT I get this error

not a single-group group function

Is there any other method to write this query?

A: You need to use GROUP BY
SELECT u.fname, u.lname
FROM USERS u, TRANSACTION t
WHERE t.iduser=u.iduser
GROUP BY u.fname, u.lname
HAVING count(t.iduser)>5;

A: Try using this query:
SELECT u.fname, u.lname
FROM USERS u INNER JOIN TRANSACTION t ON t.iduser=u.iduser WHERE count(t.iduser)>5;
I just converted it to use inner join instead

A: Firstly, I'm really concerned by a table called TRANSACTION as it has special meaning in SQL. I'm not sure which database you're using, but notice that SO's MArkdown thinks TRANSACTION is a keyword rather than a table name
You can't use an aggregate function, or a HAVING clause without using a GROUP BY statement. Try this:
SELECT u.fname, u.lname
FROM USERS u, TRANSACTION t
WHERE t.iduser=u.iduser
GROUP BY i.fname, u.lname
HAVING count(t.iduser)>5;

Agarkar, Mongia and Kuruvilla in the fray as process to fill vacant India selectors' spots begins
There are three spots to be filled in the five-man committee that currently includes Sunil Joshi and Harvinder Singh
The BCCI's cricket advisory committee – led by former India fast bowlers Madan Lal and RP Singh and the former women's cricketer Sulakshana Naik – has initiated the process on Thursday to appoint three new selectors for the men's selection panel. Among those who have been shortlisted for the position comprise former India players including Ajit Agarkar, Chetan Sharma, Maninder Singh, Nayan Mongia and SS Das.
According to the Hindustan Times, others that have been shortlisted include Abey Kuruvilla, Vijay Dahiya, Ajay Ratra, Nikhil Chopra, Debashish Mohanty and Ranadeb Bose. The shortlisted candidates, who had applied late November, were informed on Wednesday evening that the interviews would be conducted virtually.
The BCCI had invited applications to fill up the three vacant spots left after the tenures of Jatin Paranjape, Devang Gandhi and Sarandeep Singh ended in September. The men's selection committee currently consists only two members: former India spinner Sunil Joshi, who is the chairman and Harvinder Singh, the former India and Railways fast bowler. Those two were appointed after the terms of MSK Prasad and Gagan Khoda ended in February after India's tour of New Zealand.
Once the CAC finalizes its choices, it would pass it to the BCCI. It is not clear whether the BCCI, which is conducting its annual general meeting on Thursday, would announce the new selectors today.
The BCCI had put down a minimum qualification of seven Tests or 30 first-class matches or 10 ODIs and 20 first-class matches for the applicants. They should have also retired "at least five years previously". The board also listed 60 as the age limit for the applicants.

Have you ever wondered how stealth planes achieve "invisibility," how sunken ships are found, or how fishermen track schools of fish in vast expanses of ocean? Radar and sonar echolocation―a simple matter of sending, receiving, and processing signals.Weaving history with simple science, Mark Denny deftly reveals the world of radar and sonar to the curious reader, technology buff, and expert alike. He begins with an early history of the Chain Home radar system used during World War II and then provides accessible and engaging explanations of the physics that make signal processing possible. Basic diagrams and formulas show how electromagnetic and sound waves are transmitted, received, and converted into images, allowing you to literally see in the dark.A section on bioacoustic echolocation, with a focus on the superior sonar systems of bats and whales and a discussion of the advanced technology of next-generation airborne signal processors, opens the imagination to fascinating possibilities for the future.

Front of Pack Labels Enhance Attention to Nutrition Information in Novel & Commercial Brands.
Objectives: 1) To assess whether Front-of-Pack (FOP) nutrition labels garner attention more readily than more complete, mandated nutrition information (the Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP), required in the US), and 2) To determine whether label design characteristics, specifically, color coding and/or coding with facial icons, increase attention to the FOP label.
Methods: In two experiments, we tracked the allocation of attention while participants (n=125) viewed novel and commercial packages with varied FOP designs using a change detection methodology.
