Anarchist on Anarchy, An, by Élisée Reclus
(Originally published in the Contemporary Review, and then reprinted as a pamphlet by Benjamin R. Tucker, 1884) An Anarchist on Anarchy by Elise Reclus "It is a pity that such men as Elise Reclus cannot be promptly shot." – Providence Press To most Englishmen, the word Anarchy is so evil-sounding that ordinary readers of the Contemporary Review will probably turn from these pages with aversion, wondering how anybody could have the audacity to write them. With the crowd of commonplace chatterers we are already past praying for; no reproach is too bitter for us, no epithet too insulting. Public speakers on social and political subjects find that abuse of Anarchists is an unfailing passport to public favor. Every conceivable cri... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Anarchist Revolution, The, by Errico Malatesta
• "...for us and all anarchists, the abolition of political power is not possible without the simultaneous destruction of economic privilege."
• "Insurrections will be necessary as long as there are power groups which use their material force to exact obedience from the masses. And it is only too clear that there will be many more insurrections before the people win that minimum of indispensable conditions for free and peaceful development, when humanity will be able to advance towards its noblest objectives without cruel struggles and useless suffering."
• "Social reorganization is something we must all think about right now, and as the old is destroyed we shall have a more human and just society as well as one more receptive to future advances. The alternative is that "the leaders" will think about these problems, and we shall have a new government, which will do exactly as all previous governments have done, in making the people pay for the scant and poor services they render, by taking away their freedom and allowing them to be oppressed by every kind of parasite and exploiter."

Anarchists in Israel, by Sam Dolgoff
Note: This article, from the book "Fragments: a memoir", by Sam Dolgoff (Refract Publications, 1986) recounts a trip to Israel by Sam and his wife Esther, to meet the anarchists there. In the mid-1970s Esther and I embarked on a two-week tour of Israel, not merely to see the sights, but to contact our anarchist comrades publishing their organ Problemen. We also wanted to contact Israeli settlers whom we already knew at home. We felt that the trip was all the more necessary because altogether too many comrades did not even know that there were a few anarchist groups in Israel, much less an anarchist publication there. We immediately contacted the editor of Problemen, Joseph Ludin, a prolific writer, himself an anarchist refugee from Poland. ... (From : Flag.Blackened.net.)

Awakening Starvelings, The, by Alexander Berkman
Ideas are true liberators. Ideas as distinguished from so-called reason. For in our work-a-day world there is much reason and too little thought. It is given only to the seer and poet to conceive liberating ideas - impractical, wild thoughts that ultimately light the way of practical, blind man to better and higher endeavor. To "practical" minds the regeneration of the world is an empty dream. To transform the cold winter of our age into the warmth of a beautiful summer day, to change our valley of tears and misery into a luxurious garden of joy is a vain fantasy lacking reason and sanity. But a William Morris sees in his mind's eye a world of comradeship and brotherhood rejoicing in the plenitude of earth's bounty, and he challenges "pract... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Do you believe in patriotism? What an odd question to ask revolutionists! Might it not be better put, "American Socialists, have you the courage of your principles? Shall it be 'America First' or 'Workers of the World, Unite!'" Count m for Labor First. This country is not "our" country. Then why should the toilers love it or fight for it? Why sanction the title deeds of our masters in the blood of our fellow-slaves? Let those who own the country, who are howling for and profiting by preparedness, fight to defend their property.

Modern Drama, The, by Emma Goldman
THE MODERN DRAMA A POWERFUL DISSEMINATOR OF RADICAL THOUGHT SO LONG as discontent and unrest make themselves but dumbly felt within a limited social class, the powers of reaction may often succeed in suppressing such manifestations. But when the dumb unrest grows into conscious expression and becomes almost universal, it necessarily affects all phases of human thought and action, and seeks its individual and social expression in the gradual transvaluation of existing values. An adequate appreciation of the tremendous spread of the modern, conscious social unrest cannot be gained from merely propagandistic literature. Rather must we become conversant with the larger phases of human expression manifest in art, literature, and, above all, the ... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

I am looking for the details to a story I believe I heard in Drawing Nigh to Baha'u'llah by Adib Taherzadeh. For me, at this time and in my rather unususal situation this story is inspiring . I can't go into more details but the parts of the story that I remember are dominating my intuition on how to behave and conduct myself in the present situation. SO I wish someone would point me to a source for the complete story.
Mr. Kazemzadeh says he got this story from his father, of a Bahai who was captured by some mountain robbers, and kept hostage for some years, and then finally released. Then later, this person met these robbers and a few had become Baha'is. They were still robbers but they said they changed their behavior and now only robbed Muslim priests.

Calgary Police Officers Moving Local Playground to Costa Rica
A playground from a school in Woodbine will soon be the newest attraction in a Costa Rican neighbourhood, thanks to seven Calgary police officers. The officers will be travelling to San Jose, Costa Rica, on Thursday, March 5, for a 10-day trip where they will be installing the playground in a neighbourhood where youth are at risk for gang involvement.
The team is partnering for trip with the international relief organization Samaritan's Purse, as well as three officers from the Edmonton Police Service and chaplains from both police services. In addition to installing the playground, the team will also be meeting with members of the Costa Rica Police Guard to share their expertise on gang prevention and youth intervention, as well as learn about Costa Rican culture.
"I had the opportunity to go on this trip last year and I know all the police officers involved found the experience to be extremely valuable," said A/Sgt. Garry Woods, a member of the Calgary Police Service's Diversity Resources Team, who works closely with Calgary's Latin American community. "I learned a lot about the Costa Rican way of life and the power of serving others, and I hope we were able to share some valuable crime prevention expertise with the local police."
The Calgary officers on the team are mostly from the Community and Youth Services Section, which is responsible for youth education, youth intervention and mentorship, and community services like the Victim Assistance Unit and the Diversity Resources Team. They are all volunteering their time for the trip and will be in Costa Rica from March 5 to March 15, 2015.
"We look forward to having the Calgary Police Service members join our efforts to offer hope and help to hurting people in Costa Rica," said Fred Weiss, Executive Director of Samaritan's Purse Canada. "As we have seen in the past, interactions between Calgary police officers and their Costa Rican counterparts can provide practical benefit to the participating police officers of both countries."
The playground was donated to Samaritan's Purse by Kids Around the World and was shipped to Costa Rica late last month. The team will be doing some other charitable work during the trip as well, including visiting local rehabilitation clinics and helping to distribute Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to impoverished children.

Milan Mrksich Wins Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award
Cindy Delonas
Milan Mrksich of Northwestern University has won the 2020 Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, which is presented annually by the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh, one of the co-founders of the Pittcon conference. The award honors an individual's impact in the field of analytical chemistry, including the introduction of a substantial technique, theory, or instrument.
Mrksich is the Henry Wade Rogers Professor at Northwestern University, with appointments in the Departments of Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, and Cell & Developmental Biology. He was the founding director of Northwestern's Center for Synthetic Biology and an associate director of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, where his focus included strengthening state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques.
Mrksich received his bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois. His doctorate in chemistry is from Caltech. He served as an American Cancer Society postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University before joining the faculty at the University of Chicago in 1996, where he remained until joining Northwestern in 2011. In addition to the Pittsburgh Analytical Chemistry Award, Mrksich has been the recipient of the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, the TR100 Innovator Award, and the Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award. He was elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and is the Illinois Bio ICON Innovator Awardee.
Mrksich's laboratory has pioneered technologies that include strategies to integrate living cells with microelectronic devices; methods to enable high throughput assays for drug discovery; and approaches to making synthetic proteins for therapeutic use. He developed the self-assembled monolayers with matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (SAMDI) biochip technology. SAMDI increases the pace of experiments by allowing enzymes to be tested at a rate of a hundred thousand per day, a breakthrough that has become the leading "label-free" technology in drug discovery and has addressed a pressing need in early stage drug development. His research has been described in approximately 200 publications and 500 invited talks.

Copper: geological information
29Cu
Available copper properties...
Copper is sometimes found as the free element and is present in many minerals. Important deposits are located in Canada, Chile, Germany, Italy, Peru, U.S.A., Zambia, and Zaire. The most important copper ores are the oxides, sulphides, and carbonates. One major ore, chalcopyrite (copper pyrite), CuFeS2 accounts for about 50% of all deposits.
Abundances of copper in various environments
In this table of abundances, values are given in units of ppb (parts per billion; 1 billion = 109), both in terms of weight and in terms of numbers of atoms. Values for abundances are difficult to determine with certainty, so all values should be treated with some caution, especially so for the less common elements. Local concentrations of any element can vary from those given here an orders of magnitude or so and values in various literature sources for less common elements do seem to vary considerably.
Abundances for copper in a number of different environments. Use the links in the location column for definitions, literature sources, and visual representations in many different styles (one of which is shown below)

The chart above shows the log of the abundance (on a parts per billion scale) of the elements by atom number in our sun. Notice the "sawtooth" effect where elements with even atomic numbers tend to be more strongly represented than those with odd atomic numbers. This shows up best using the "Bar chart" option on the chart.

We Put Canada's #1 University on Course to Attract the World's Top Students.
The University of Toronto is known as Canada's leading institution of learning and it ranks among the top 18 in the world as a research-intensive university. We have worked with the U of T student enrolment team for many years focusing on attracting top students from all over the globe. The request was to update the U of T image through its marketing materials to reflect its leading edge and modern qualities while still giving a nod to its rich legacy.
THEY'VE BEEN WORLD-CLASS FOR YEARS.
WE HELPED BRING THE WORLD THEIR CLASSES.
OUR BIG IDEA
Create an inspired "New Yorker" magazine style for our viewbook design. We created viewbooks that featured large beautiful visuals, watercolour imagery, paintbrush font and an illustrative infographic style. This fresh and colourful design was a striking departure for this intended audience. We also reinvented their long-standing video using famous alumni in a storytelling fashion to bring the U of T experience to life.
A FAMOUS ALUMNI SHARES HIS TALENTS
Using our refreshing approach to a recruitment video, our compelling visuals matched the richness of the velvety smooth voice of our voiceover actor, famous Canadian screen star and U of T alumni, Donald Sutherland. The music score was also created by a U of T Faculty of Music graduate.
Our University of Toronto viewbooks, featuring all three campuses, tell a compelling story through words and images. They have been instrumental in scores of top students making U of T their number one choice.
Never before explored digital marketing campaigns included search engine marketing (SEM), social media ads and pre-roll videos that garnered market share in the highly competitive field of education.
We developed a unique digital brand voice that was loud enough to be heard by students across the globe.
In its first year of digital marketing, this intercontinental campaign delivered exceptional results, engaging with top students through digital platforms at multiple touchpoints of their journey, including their research process, school fairs, all the way to the decision making phase.

Professor David Tilman was awarded the 2010 Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Environmental Sciences because by combining mathematical theories, laboratory research and field experiments, he has made a fundamental contribution to the science of ecology, a branch of biology that studies the interplay between organisms and their environment.
When species in an ecosystem compete for a limited amount of food, which ones will survive and which ones will not? Resource competition theory uses a mathematical model to predict the winners and losers. David Tilman did much to develop this theory, which has been an essential part of virtually every textbook on ecology since the early 1980s. Tilman himself applied the theory to plants and came to a revolutionary discovery. He spent twenty years observing more than two hundred plots of grassland and kept precise species diversity and abundance records on each plot. He discovered that the plots where a wide variety of species co-habited clearly did much better under difficult circumstances - such as a period of drought -than plots with just a few species. He had shown for the first time that biodiversity makes an ecosystem more stable, demonstrating that protecting endangered species is important for the survival of earth's ecosystems.
In recent years,, Tilman has also devoted himself to studying sustainable farming methods, which are needed to meet the rapidly growing demand for food and energy. For example, he studied the advantages and disadvantages of different types of biofuels, demonstrating that native high-diversity grasslands could provide more energy per hectare than corn grain ethanol or soybean biodiesel. Not only is it economically more profitable to make biofuel from prairie grasses, but it is also more sustainable: grass absorbs more CO2 from the atmosphere and is not food crop for humans, unlike corn grain and soybeans.

G. David Tilman was born in Aurora, Illinois in 1949 and studied zoology at the University of Michigan. It was during his doctoral research on algae that he began to work on a mathematical model to predict the outcome of resource competition. He continued to work on his model, with success, after receiving his appointment at the University of Minnesota. In 1992, Tilman became director of University's Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve, a nature preserve intended for ecological research, where he has been conducting his celebrated experiments since the early 1980s.
Tilman's work has inspired many thousands of scientists around the world. The renowned Institute for Scientific Information has twice designated him the most highly cited environmental scientist of the decade (1990-2000 and 1996-2006). Tilman has been on dozens of boards, including for the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council and the United States' President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology.

Women in STEM did a study on how to eliminate gender bias and their ideas are genius
It's no secret that women in STEM still face a difficult struggle to reach gender parity. Many women working in science, technology, engineering and math report everything from "boy's club" hiring practices to toxic working environments. STEM fields, like many other industries have a long way to go before they're properly gender-equal. And a new study published in Nature by female geoscientists and engineers diagnoses the problem more thoroughly — and offers some pretty brilliant solutions. READ MORE

Prof. Takaaki Kajita
Kajita Takaaki, (born 1959, Higashimatsuyama, Japan), Japanese physicist who was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the oscillations of neutrinos from one flavour to another, which proved that those subatomic particles have mass. He shared the prize with Canadian physicist Arthur B. McDonald.
Kajita received a bachelor's degree from Saitama University in 1981 and a doctorate from the University of Tokyo (UT) in 1986. That year he became a research associate at the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics at the UT, where he worked on the Kamiokande-II neutrino experiment, a tank containing 3,000 tons of water located deep underground in the Kamioka mine near Hida. Most neutrinos passed right through the tank, but on rare occasions a neutrino would collide with a water molecule, creating an electron. Those electrons travelled faster than the speed of light in water (which is 75 percent of that in a vacuum) and generated Cherenkov radiation that was observed by photomultiplier tubes on the walls of the tank. In 1987 Kajita was part of the team that used Kamiokande-II to detect neutrinos from Supernova 1987A, which was the first time neutrinos had been observed from a specific object other than the Sun.
Kamiokande-II could also observe neutrinos generated by cosmic rays, high-speed particles (mainly protons) that collide with nuclei in Earth's atmosphere and produce secondary particles. Those secondary particles decay and produce two of the three flavours of neutrinos: electron neutrinos and muon neutrinos. In 1988 Kajita and the other Kamiokande scientists published results showing that the number of muon neutrinos was only 59 percent of the expected value.
Kajita joined the UT's Institute for Cosmic Ray Research in 1988 as a research associate and continued his work at Kamiokande-II. He became an associate professor at the institute in 1992. That same year he and his team published results confirming the deficit of atmospheric muon neutrinos. They suggested that neutrino oscillations in which the "missing" muon neutrinos changed into the third neutrino flavour, tau (which could not be observed by Kamiokande-II), could be the culprit. Neutrinos were thought to be massless, but, in order to oscillate flavours, they must have a very small mass. In 1994 Kajita and his team found a slight dependence of the number of detected muon neutrinos on direction, with more neutrinos coming down than coming up.
In 1996 Kamiokande-II was replaced by Super-Kamiokande, which contained 50,000 tons of water, and Kajita led the studies of the atmospheric neutrinos. After two years of observations, his team definitively confirmed that the number of muon neutrinos coming down from the atmosphere is greater than the number of muon neutrinos coming up from Earth. Since neutrinos rarely interact with matter, the number of neutrinos observed should not depend on the arrival angle. However, that angle effect proved the existence of neutrino flavour oscillations and thus neutrino mass. The neutrinos coming up through Earth travel a longer distance, thousands of kilometres, than the neutrinos coming down, which only travel a few dozen kilometres. Therefore, the up-going neutrinos have more time to undergo an oscillation into tau neutrinos than those coming down.
Kajita became a professor at the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research and director of the Research Center for Cosmic Neutrinos there in 1999. He became director of the institute in 2008.

Every Anti-War Act Matters
Posted on September 29, 2007 by RagBlog
Washington's Wars and Occupations
by Max Elbaum, September 29, 2007, War Times
URGENT MOMENT IN A LONG HAUL
It's not easy to maintain a sense of urgency and outrage at the same time as a long-haul strategic view. Still, that's what's demanded of antiwar activists right now.
Regarding reasons to be outraged, even George Bush's spin machine can't hide the blood-soaked list:
• The Iraq war is already lost, but still the President promises permanent occupation and endless war: "It is clear that Mr. Bush refuses to recognize the truth of his failure in Iraq and envisions a military commitment that has no end," the New York Times editorialized Sept. 14.
• This policy is bound up with imperial ambitions to control the oil-rich Middle East: "I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil," wrote former head of the Federal Reserve Board and conservative Republican Alan Greenspan in his just-released memoir.
• The result is a human disaster. The U.S. war and occupation has already led to a million or more Iraqi deaths, and 3,000-plus deaths among U.S. troops. Over two million Iraqis have been driven from their homes. The latest horror is an outbreak of cholera as Iraq's water purification system has all but totally broken down. Even if a best-case scenario of peace, independence, and reconstruction miraculously started tomorrow, the destruction wrought would leave scars for generations.
MILITARISM AND RACISM, MERCENARIES AND TORTURE
• Iraq is the centerpiece of a much broader U.S. posture of militarism and occupation. Every day the U.S. stays in Iraq heightens the danger of attacking Iran or otherwise engulfing the entire region in armed conflict. The "war on terror" serves as cover for Washington's blank-check support for Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
• The Iraq/"war on terror" mantra has normalized practices that previously were suppressed or at least had to be hidden. The U.S. government now brazenly practices torture. It employs mercenaries accountable to no law whatsoever. It has relegated 800 years of habeas corpus rights to the dustbin.
• Reinforcement of racism is integral to the whole enterprise. Demonization of Arabs and Muslims along with institutionalization of a racially coded "us" vs. "them" framework are the battering rams. And this is a county where racism hardly needs further reinforcement to entrench inequality: witness many pundits and politicians thinking it's acceptable (even a potential vote-getter!) to excuse the hanging of a noose on a "white tree" in Jena Louisiana as simply a "teen-age prank."
• The war/racism/fear-mongering package is used as a wedge against all social movements at home: "illegal immigrants bring crime and terrorism!… we need more prisons to keep us safe!… blah blah blah!"
ELITE NOT READY TO BITE THE BULLET
Other than Bush's die-hard supporters, almost the entire U.S. policy-making elite recognizes "there can be no military solution" to the disaster they are facing in Iraq. Still, no substantial sector is yet willing to bite the bullet and commit to complete withdrawal. They are too scared of the negative impact such a retreat would have on U.S. power generally, and of the domestic political consequences of being blamed for "losing Iraq." So no serious Republican presidential candidate, and none of the three top-tier Democratic contenders, promises to end the war in the only way it is possible to do so: getting out.
The majority of U.S. people now think the war was a mistake and has lost confidence in a U.S. "victory." But many have been intimidated or confused by misinformation and fear-mongering. Millions are vulnerable to Bush's demagogic argument that dire consequences for both Iraq and the U.S. would flow from immediate and total withdrawal. So the antiwar movement has an uphill struggle to translate broad antiwar sentiment into sustained, large-scale and militant protest.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE THIS MONTH
With a whole country being destroyed, and Washington's Iraq policy at the pivot of threats to the entire world, a groundswell of outrage and urgency is more than warranted. So is reminding ourselves that a great lesson of the Vietnam War era is that every act of protest actually DOES make a difference – no matter how much the powers-that-be work to convince us otherwise.
Yet a hard-nosed assessment simultaneously tells us that: (1) it will take another level of crisis and resistance – in Iraq and/or here – before Washington's power-brokers are forced to admit defeat; (2) it will take time for that to happen, indeed, the likelihood is for quite a long haul; and (3) constant protest along the way is necessary even to prevent the diehard neocon faction centered in Dick Cheney's office from expanding the Iraq war to Iran and the entire Middle East.
In combining our urgent outrage and long-haul vision, the month right ahead of us offers some special opportunities.
September's All-Hail-General-Petraeus-Show on Capitol Hill bought Bush some time with wavering members of his own party. But it didn't make a dent in public opinion. Since the war-makers' best shot fizzled this way, the time is ripe for counter-attack: for the antiwar movement to show that our determination and capacity to protest in the streets and via the net and everywhere in between is undeterred.
And there is a clear target, in that the congressional vote on Bush's "supplemental request" for funding the Iraq war has been postponed from its original September date. A bloc of Congress members has pledged to vote no funds for anything but organizing a U.S. military withdrawal. Popular pressure can expand their ranks and remind every member of Congress that there will be consequences for allowing this war to continue.
Vehicles for mass actions along these lines are already planned for October. The Iraq Moratorium – www.iraqmoratorium.org – which kicked off September 21 will continue with Moratorium Day No. 2 on October 26. Regional mobilizations October 27 are planned for 11 cities sponsored by United for Peace and Justice – go to www.unitedforpeace.org for information. A range of other actions by veterans, in support of military resisters, on campuses, and elsewhere – many confronting the war-makers with civil disobedience – are also in motion.
What happens this month sets the stage for the long stretch from New Year's Day through the 2008 election. The challenge during that period will be to launch and sustain a level of independent antiwar activism that – in its breadth, creativity and tactics – insists to all candidates and the public at large that as long as the occupation continues there will be No Campaigning As Usual and No New Administration As Usual.
This is also a moment when antiwar activists can "make the connections" on the ground as well as in literature and educational work. Across the country local immigrant rights groups are mobilizing against the new wave of government intimidation raids. The struggle to support the Jena 6 is galvanizing a new wave of anti-racist activism anchored in the African American community. Swinging its muscle behind these vital battles would mark an important step toward constructing a durable and more deeply rooted antiwar movement. Likewise, the "No War, No Warming" offensive – see www.nowarnowarming.org for information about October 21-23 actions in particular – makes the vital links between oil, global warming and U.S. militarism, and taps into the concern that many polls say is number one among the country's youth.

The Least Dangerous Branch
Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist that the judiciary would be the least dangerous branch of government. He based this on the third branch lacking "the power of the executive branch and the political passions of the legislature." The judicial branch has no army to enforce its rulings and no bully pulpit to enrage the citizenry.
The judiciary has only one weapon at its disposal. Integrity. And it's given its only weapon away.
Via Mike at Crime & Federalism, the 9th Circuit has ruled in Lee v. Lampert that process trumps substance. They know an innocent man to be convicted and imprisoned, but they just don't care enough to do something about it.
We decline to prolong the inevitable recognition that there is no "actual innocence" exception to the one-year statute of limitation for filing an original petition for habeas corpus relief.
The use of the phrase "actual innocence" has always been deeply troubling. It suggests that the person who cannot prove his innocence cannot be, in fact, truly, actually, innocent. The dilemma can just as well be the absence of a way to prove a negative fact rather than the fact of innocence. And it flies in the face of the presumption of innocence in the face of an improper conviction, which has been turned upside down by failure to preserve and harmless error analysis.
But in the rare case where a defendant can prove that he did not commit the crime, but the information or evidence doesn't manage to come into his hands until more than a year after the exhaustion of remedies, even if the cause is concealment by the government or incompetence by his lawyer, the 9th Circuit told us their truth. They don't care. They just don't care.
In contrast, the 11th Circuit boldly held that this was a step too unpalatable for them to accept in Gilbert v. U.S. But not the 9th. Time ran out and that's that. Like the grocery clerk with a checklist, the rules say one year and one year it is.
That Congress, in its zeal to curtail defendants from destroying the fabric of society, decided to use a statutory trick to undermine the fundamental purpose of the Great Writ as the final safety valve for an imperfect system, gives rise to the problematic issues raised by Lee v. Lampert. That Judge Diarmuid Fionntain O'Scannlain decided that a procedural rule was more important than the bottom line, innocence, is a curtsy to Congress, an abdication of the only role the least dangerous branch has in the scheme of government.
One of the foremost concerns voiced by courts in the performance of their function is the maintenance of the appearance of propriety. The public's trust, and the integrity of the judiciary, depend on it. Without it, the courts are nothing, worthless. When the public ceases to believe that they can obtain redress for wrongs in the courts, then they only option available is the use of weapons. Our founding fathers were ingenius to provide the citizenry with an alternative to insurrection.
The judiciary are the stewards of this public trust in their integrity. They try to protect it fiercely, though mostly from assault by lawyers who call judges mean names. They are less fierce when it comes to their own actions.
The public will view this decision, one that demonstrates that innocence comes in a distant second to some grocery clerk's rule, as affirmative proof that the courts are just a part of an omnipotent machine designed to subjugate the public. It's an overwrought characterization, but it's about public perception. Nuanced explanations don't work well with citizens marching with torches and pitchforks. They've usually got their mind made up already.
Whether the decision makes perfect legal sense or not isn't important. The decision gives up the basic integrity of the judicial system, that there are things that matter so much that no rule, no law, no bunch of old men, can ever give them away and still hold our trust. This is such a decision.
There is a circuit split on the issue. There is hope that it can be resolved in a way that puts innocent people ahead of the grocery clerk's rules. Will the Supreme Court take up such a dangerous cause? And if it does, will the justices reveal themselves to be lovers of the People and the safeguard of the Great Writ, or lovers of grocery clerks?

What the hell, man? Why are you being so hard on grocery clerks? They don't deserve to be compared to the pricks who value procedure over innocence.
David Tarrell July 7, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Scott-
Congrats on making Memeorandum as this post is the first time I've seen your blog linked there, which indicates a large number of hits.
SHG July 7, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I don't like grocery clerks, but they can't do nearly as much harm. My apologies.
Hey David. I don't even know what Memeorandum is. But whatever it is, thanks for letting me know.
RT July 7, 2010 at 4:09 pm
It's this sort of thing that the pardon power exists for. Now, if you can find a politician willing to use it for a convicted (even if innocent) sex offender is another story. Can you imagine the willie horton ads that would result in the next election cycle?
Dave W. July 8, 2010 at 12:49 pm
When you read the opinions it becomes clear that the real problem in this case was that the prosecution far outspent the defense, and this lead to a grossly unfair trial.
I think this is the problem in many, many US criminal trials.
There should be enforced spending parity* between prosecution and defense for every criminal case and this should be enshrined as a due process right. It is high time for a Brown v. BOE for criminal defendants.
* caveat re "enforced parity": the defense should be allowed to outspend the prosecution

Is the criminal defendant…found to be innocent…still in jail? Thanks, Roger
SHG October 11, 2010 at 10:12 pm
The defendant sought to argue "actual innocence" and was refused for failure to meet the one year deadline. He was not found to be innocent, which is what he would have tried to do had he been given the chance, and as should be clear from the post, he remains in prison.

Thanks for another great article – I travel alone, but meet up with my co-workers in various cities. The gluten-free challenges vary from town to town, but every year, the burden seems to get lighter and more and more people are aware of the the challenges. Collectively, the "big catered lunch meeting" still seems to be behind the times.
Great post! I like the upbeat attitude. Having protein bars in your desk or briefcase requires the discipline not to eat them during a boring afternoon. Another tip: being the last person to order increases the chance that the discussion will turn to why you were so particular about your order. If you'd rather not go there, don't order last.
this area to solve my problem. Maybe that is you!

Lilly Rosa Amalie Jankelowitz, Künstlername Lilly Jank, später verheiratete Wahl (7. Mai 1907 in Gera – 11. Oktober 1944 im KZ Ravensbrück) war eine deutsche Schauspielerin und Sängerin, die nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten aus rassistischen Gründen zuerst ihren Beruf nicht mehr ausüben durfte, dann emigrieren musste, schließlich in Frankreich verhaftet und letztlich 1944 im Konzentrationslager ermordet wurde.

Leben und Werk
Lilly Jankelowitz war die Tochter des Mediziners Adolf Jankelowitz (27. September 1869 in Neustadt bei Heydekrug (Ostpreußen) – 4. März 1917) und dessen Frau, Emma Blandine geborene Heilbronner (14. März 1879 in Ludwigshafen – 1958). Ihr Vater fiel im Ersten Weltkrieg. Tochter und Mutter übersiedelten einige Jahre nach Kriegsende, vermutlich 1925, nach Baden-Baden, wo sie in der Fremersbergstraße 119 wohnten. Es gibt keine Quellen über Lillys Schulausbildung. Ab 1927, vermutlich nach dem Abitur, studierte sie Gesang an der Staatlichen Musikschule Weimar. Ab 1928 absolvierte sie ihre Ausbildung als Opernsängerin und Operettensoubrette an der Karlsruher Theaterakademie, eine soeben neugegründete Ausbildungseinrichtung, die  Theorie und Praxis – durch enge Kooperation mit dem Badischen Staatstheater – zu vereinbaren trachtete.

Vielversprechende Laufbahn
Die praxisnahe Ausbildung eröffnete Lilly Jank, wie sie sich als Sängerin nunmehr nannte, bereits ab 1928 Auftritte im Badischen Staatstheater von Karlsruhe. Sie konnte so praktische Erfahrungen auf der Bühne sammeln und sich mit dem Ensemble vertraut machen. In ihrer ersten Spielzeit verkörperte sie in einer Operette von Ernst Krenek ein Stubenmädchen und in der Fledermaus von Johann Strauß die Tänzerin Natalie und den Geist des Prinzen Orlofsky. In ihrer zweiten Saison – 1929/30 – war sie bereits in 14 Inszenierungen von Oper, Operette und Schauspiel verpflichtet. Sie sang unter anderem kleinere Rollen in Wagner- und Weber-Opern, war die Wally in Tausend und eine Nacht von Johann Strauß und die Spelunken-Jenny in der Dreigroschenoper von Brecht und Weill.

1930 wurde Lilly Jank vom Badischen Staatstheater fest angestellt, mit einer Monatsgage von 350 Reichsmark, und es wurden ihr zunehmend größere Rollen anvertraut. Sie sang und spielte in drei Operetten von Ralph Benatzky, übernahm das Hannchen in Künnekes Vetter aus Dingsda und die Hofsängerin Demoiselle Giuditta Grisi in der Schubert-Collage Das Dreimäderlhaus. Die Presse war voll des Lobes für den "hübsche[n] Backfisch", der "als lispelndes Klärchen Heinzelmann ihm [dem Staatsschauspieler und Publikumsliebling Hermann Brand] eine passende Partnerin war" und "[w]eit mehr als die Rolle eigentlich verlangt, gab".

Cornelie Hornung subsumiert: "Diese Theaterkritiken verdeutlichen die Begabung der damals etwa 25-jährigen Sängerin und Schauspielerin Lilly Jank am Beginn ihrer hoffnungsvollen Theaterlaufbahn. Darauf lassen auch die späteren Aussagen der etwa gleichaltrigen Karlsruher Opernsängerin, der Kammersängerin Emmy Seiberlich, der Schauspielerin Lola Ervig und des Schauspielers Hermann Brand schließen. Einhellig nennen sie Lilly Jank auch eine sehr beliebte Kollegin."

Entlassung, Emigration, Heirat
Im März 1933, unmittelbar nach der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten in Deutschland, wurde Lilly Jank jäh "von der Bühne verbannt". Die sozialdemokratische Zeitung "Volksfreund" berichtete am 16. März von der Entlassung von Intendant, Kapellmeister, Solorepetitor, Ausstattungsleiter und sieben Ensemblemitgliedern, darunter Lilly Jank. Das nationalsozialistische Pendant "Führer" triumphierte mit drohendem Unterton: "Damit ist nur der erste Vorstoß gegen den jüdischen Ungeist und die Riesengagen am Landestheater vorgenommen. Weitere Maßnahmen werden folgen."

Auch der Vertrag von Emmy Seiberlich, bei der Lilly Jank eine Zeit lang als Untermieterin gewohnt hatte und die den Nazis als "Judenfreundin und Judenprotegée" galt, wurde nicht verlängert. Lilly Jankelowitz verließ schließlich Karlsruhe und wohnte ab Anfang 1934 in einem Mädchenheim in Straßburg. Dort arbeitete sie als Sprechstundenhilfe bei dem jüdischen Arzt Viktor Wahl (1899 in Worms – 1944 unbekannten Ortes). Laut Wiedergutmachungsakten soll sie in den Jahren 1935 und 1936 ohne Beschäftigung gewesen sein. Im Januar 1936 hielt sie sich in Zürich auf und gab dort an, ihre Ausreise nach Palästina vorzubereiten. Ihre Freundin und frühere Kollegin Emmy Seiberlich, die inzwischen nach Kanada ausgewandert war, bemühte sich um eine Einreiseerlaubnis, doch Lilly Jankelowitz entschied sich in Europa zu bleiben. Am 19. März 1936 heiratete sie Viktor Wahl und wohnte danach gemeinsam mit ihm in Straßburg. Am 31. Dezember 1936 kam das einzige Kind des Ehepaares, Sohn Joseph Marius Silvio, zur Welt.

Nach dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen und dem Beginn des dadurch ausgelösten Zweiten Weltkrieges wollte das Ehepaar sich und den kleinen Sohn in Sicherheit bringen. Die Wahls flüchteten nach Süden, in den Kur- und Badeort Vichy in der Auvergne. Victor Wahl praktizierte in Vichy als Facharzt für Magen-Darm-Erkrankungen, seine Frau konnte kein Engagement finden und unterstützte ihren Mann in seiner Praxis. Ebenfalls nach Vichy flüchtete die Mutter von Viktor Wahl, Henriette Wahl, geb. Baum (2. März 1868 – 1944 im KZ Ravensbrück). Viktor Wahl soll der Résistance nahegestanden sein. Sohn Silvio berichtete später, dass sein Vater auf dem Dachboden einen Radioapparat versteckt hielt und damit heimlich Sendungen der BBC hörte.

Deportation und Ermordung

Nach dem Sieg im sogenannten Blitzkrieg im Sommer 1940 etablierten die deutschen Besatzer in Vichy eine Marionettenregierung für die unbesetzten Teile Frankreichs. Die in Frankreich lebenden Juden waren zunehmend gefährdet, auch im Vichy-Frankreich. Ab Juli 1942 wurden auch Kinder und Alte zu sogenannten Arbeitseinsätzen über das Sammellager Drancy nördlich von Paris in Richtung Auschwitz abtransportiert und im Jahr darauf durchkämmte das Sonderkommando Alois Brunner auch den unbesetzten Süden Frankreichs systematisch nach versteckten Juden. Die Familie Wahl lebte jahrelang in ständiger Furcht, gefasst und verschleppt zu werden.

Emma Jankelowitz, die Mutter der Sängerin, wurde bereits am 22. Oktober 1940 von ihrem Wohnort Baden-Baden – gemeinsam mit Tausenden badischen und saar-pfälzischen Juden – von den Nationalsozialisten ins Lager Gurs verschleppt. Auf Grund ihres Alters wurde sie jedoch in ein Altenheim entlassen, gelangte schließlich nach Nizza und überlebte mit Glück die Zeit der Deportationen nach Auschwitz bis zur Befreiung Frankreichs durch die Alliierten.

Am 22. Juni 1944, zwei Wochen nach der Landung der Alliierten in der Normandie und zwei Tage nach der Flucht der Vichy-Kollaborateure ins baden-württembergische Sigmaringen, wurde die Familie Wahl, mitsamt dem nunmehr 7-jährigen Sohn und der betagten Mutter Victor Wahls, von französischen Milizionären festgenommen und ins Gefängnis von Moulins verbracht. Es folgte die Deportation nach Deutschland. Viktor Wahl kam nach Ohrdruf, einer Außenstelle des KZ Buchenwald, wo sich seine Spur verlor. Er überlebte das NS-Regime nicht. Lilly Wahl, ihr Sohn und ihre Schwiegermutter wurden zuerst ins KZ Bergen-Belsen verschleppt und kurz darauf nach Ravensbrück. Im Oktober 1944 wurden die zwei Frauen ums Leben gebracht, der Sohn überlebte die Gräuel des Konzentrationslagers.

Schicksal des Sohnes
Nach dem Zusammenbruch des NS-Regimes und der Befreiung der Überlebenden aus den Konzentrationslagern wurde ihr Sohn Silvio Wahl, damals 9 Jahre alt und nach der KZ-Haft physisch und psychisch schwer erkrankt, nunmehr Vollwaise, im Auftrag der französischen Regierung in seine Heimat überführt. Nach seiner Rekonvaleszenz in einem Sanatorium im schweizerischen Adelboden konnte der Junge in einem Internat in Ribeauvillé im Elsass die Schule abschließen. Inzwischen hatte seine Großmutter mütterlicherseits von Nizza aus über den Suchdienst des Roten Kreuzes seinen Aufenthaltsort herausfinden können. Sie nahm sich eine Wohnung in Ribeauvillé und kümmerte sich um ihren Enkelsohn. Sie verstarb 1958. Silvio Wahl wurde von der französischen Nation adoptiert und absolvierte nach dem Abitur mit Unterstützung des französischen Staates ein Studium an der Ecole Nationale d'Optique in Morez im Département Jura. Nach Abschluss seiner Studien emigrierte er in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo er am 20. Mai 1972 Geneviève Wengen ehelichte.

Im September 2009 lebte er mit seiner Ehefrau im Ruhestand in Paris.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD), or peripheral arterial disease, is a circulatory problem in which there is a reduction of blood flow to the limbs due to narrowed arteries. When peripheral artery disease develops, the extremities do not receive enough blood flow; this may cause symptoms to develop such as claudication, or leg pain when walking. The legs are the most common site of peripheral artery disease.
Claudication, or leg pain when walking, is one of several symptoms that can develop due to peripheral artery disease. Other symptoms caused by the disease include painful cramping in the hips, thighs, or calves after certain activities; leg numbness or weakness; coldness in the lower leg or foot; sores on the lower extremities that do not heal; hair loss on the lower extremities; and a missing or weak pulse in the lower extremities. In more severe cases, pain may even occur when the body is at rest or when lying down.
Peripheral artery disease is typically caused by atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty deposits build up in the arterial walls and reduce blood flow. Smoking, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are some of the risk factors for peripheral artery disease.
If you are experiencing pain, numbness, or other symptoms in the lower extremities, see your healthcare professional immediately. Diagnosed peripheral artery disease can be treated with various medications, angioplasty and surgery, exercise programs, or alternative medicine. It is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the best treatment for you.

At the start of doctoral research
Bridge Financing Grant
The TUM-GS Bridge Financing Grant was established to support outstanding graduates of TUM master's degree programs who plan to embark on doctoral research at TUM. The grant offers financial support between when a candidate starts his/her academic research work immediately after earning the master's degree and when the actual doctoral financing starts. Applicants are considered for selection based on performance-related criteria and on significant involvement outside their specific disciplines, for example in the social realm. Applications from women, people with migration backgrounds, and people with special personal circumstances are especially welcome.
The grant provides funding of 1,000 euros per month, plus a family supplement of 150 euros per month per child. The grant is provided for a maximum of three months.
Applicants should fulfill the following criteria:
completion of an above-average Master's degree from TUM within the last 6 months;
a supervision commitment by a TUM professor;
a commitment for employment by TUM or a commitment for a scholarship;
intention to apply for entry into the doctoral candidacy list (i.e. planning to become a regular doctoral candidate).
You can apply twice a year: until 30 June (grant starting in fall/winter) and 31 January (grant starting in spring/summer). You can download the application form here.
Detailed information can be found in the Bridge Financing Grant info sheet.
During the Doctorate
TUM-GS Internationalization Support
TUM-GS supports international and intercultural cooperation in research and efforts to build global networks. Doctoral candidates can apply for a variety of funds set aside to support internationalization. Some graduate centers also provide support beyond this amount. For an overview of requirements and other rules, please see the section on "Internationalization".
Initiative Grant
Initiative, interdisciplinary cooperation and social skills are sought-after qualities among TUM graduates who apply for positions in their field and for management positions. The TUM Graduate School promotes these skills with the new Initiative Grant, which enables financial support for the organization of interdisciplinary workshops and similar events for doctoral candidates as well as for initiatives and social projects organized by doctoral candidates .
The amount of the support provided is geared toward the type of event, up to a maximum of EUR 2,000 per activity.
The (informal) request for funding has to be made by at least two doctoral candidates from different TUM departments. The application should explain the background of the project, the type and scope, the target group as well as the expected impact. It should also be detailed how the money will be spend. Contact: Ms Kathrin Schmidt (schmidtk@zv.tum.de).
At the end of doctoral research
Degree Completion Grant
The TUM Graduate School Degree Completion Grant is offered to support doctoral candidates from all disciplines during the final phase of their doctoral studies. The goal of this grant is, in particular, to support doctoral candidates whose doctoral studies have been delayed due to pregnancy, parental leave, raising children, severe chronic disease/health problems or caring for family members.
The TUM-GS Degree Completion Grant amounts to EUR 1,200 for three months. A distinction is made between doctoral candidates who are employed by TUM and those who are not:

Depressed? Feel guilty too, because you're killing limpets
Sea snails 'in a soup' of antidepressants struggle to cling to rocks, and the drugs dampen their breeding ability
Henry Bodkin
Limpets are being killed due to the rise in antidepressant use which means they struggle to cling onto rocks, scientists have warned.
A new study argues that aquatic creatures are now "bathing in a soup" of the drugs after prescription rates doubled in the last 10 years.
Experts have called for doctors to consider the effect on the environment before offering medication such as Prozac, saying its presence in the ecosystem can affect everything from a creature's growth and shape to its movement and feeding habits.
They also point to research indicating that antidepressants in waste water have caused shrimps to swim towards light, making them more likely to be eaten by predators.
Similarly, the chemicals have been linked to aquatic species no longer being able to stick to surfaces such as rocks.
Researcher Alex Ford, of Portsmouth University's Institute of Marine Biology, said: "Antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications are found everywhere, in sewage, surface water, ground water, drinking water, soil, and accumulating in wildlife tissues.
"They are found in sea water and rivers and their potential ability to disrupt the normal biological systems of aquatic organisms is extensive. This isn't about a one-off pollutant entering their habitat; wildlife are bathed in drugs for their entire life cycle."
He added: "Laboratory studies are reporting changes such as how some creatures reproduce, grow, the rate at which it matures, metabolism, immunity, feeding habits, the way it moves, its colour and its behaviour."
Scientists believe that aquatic organisms can be affected by as little as one nanogram of the drugs per litre, the equivalent of a few drops of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool.
It is thought that, just as antidepressants affect hormones such as serotonin in the human brain, they affect serotonin in invertebrate creatures. Research has also indicated that the drugs affect the species' ability to reproduce.
"Toxicity levels of pharmaceuticals in the environment do not necessarily relate to high concentrations, but to their constant low-level discharge, persistence in ecosystems and highly active biological functions," said Ford.
"In this way, pharmaceuticals that are found in relatively low concentrations could be extremely potent and very persistent, and able to significantly affect non-target organisms."
Most antidepressants enter the environment having been excreted into the sewerage system, with even the most modern plants unable to adequately extract traces from the water.

President Muhammadu Buhari at the weekend asserted that the rights of individuals in the society must always take a second place where national security and public interests are threatened.
President Buhari said this while declaring open the 58th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in Abuja. The conference has as its theme: "Transition, Transformation and Sustainable Institutions".
"Our apex court has had cause to adopt a position on this issue in this regard and it is now a matter of judicial recognition that; where national security and public interest are threatened or there is a likelihood of their being threatened, the individual rights of those allegedly responsible must take second place, in favour of the greater good of society," he said.
According to him, "Let me assure you of the resolve of this administration to promote measures that will achieve a vibrant economy under which the practice of law will thrive.
He urged lawyers to uphold and improve the sanctity and integrity of Nigeria's judicial and electoral institutions which play a fundamental role in the sustenance and growth of democracy.
"However, let me remind you all, my dear compatriots, that the law can only be optimally practised in a Nigeria that is safe, secure and prosperous," he said.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, said the members of the Legal Profession had always waited for the NBA annual general conference as it served as intellectual compass for the members.
"He, therefore, reserves the right to speak to the theme, and it is our hope that the conference would come out with salient outcomes that would enrich our association and country," CJN said.
On the forthcoming general election, he pointed out that democracy provides citizens the freedom to decide who govern them.
"In the event of election disputes, the judiciary must be prepared to play its role with substantial credibility," Onnoghen said.
On efforts being made to introduce flexibility in filing of appeals at the Supreme Court, the CJN said the deadline for the Nigeria Legal E-mailing System would soon be activated, stressing that the system is deployed to end paper filing of processes in the apex court.
He, however, advised the lower court across the country to adopt similar measure to forestall the present cumbersome nature of filing processes in courts.
The Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, Mr Abubakar Malami SAN described the NBA as a premium association that had assisted the country in various spheres.
