Next, the plug is removed, I'm using a 16mm plug socket, a 6" extension and a standard ratchet - the front plug is easy to remove without the universal joint. I'm fitting the recommended plug, NGK Laser Iridium IZFR6H11. These are pre-gapped and don't need adjusting. The plugs have an exposed electrode (unlike twin electrode plugs), so be careful inserting the plug into the bore to ensure the electrode is not knocked - as this will close the spark-gap.
When I fit a new plug I always put a small dab of LM grease on the very first thread - it makes it a bit easier when fitting the plug. Remove the ratchet from the 6" extension, fit the plug into the sparkplug socket and carefully insert the plug into the well. The plug will centre itself and you will find it is easy to twiddle the extension until the plug bottoms-out on the crush-washer. You can now fit the torque-wrench to the extension and tighten to 25 Newton-Metre. As said before, you have to apply enough force to compress the crush washer for around 180 Degrees before the torque will reach 25 Newton-Metre. Get used to the amount of torque needed to fit the plug - it's unlikely that you can fit it when you get to the back plugs! Once the plug is torqued into position you can fit the new coil - this is pretty straight-forward, just align it as shown below and then give it a good push to get it properly seated - it needs quite a shove due to the new rubber. To refit the connector, push the plug into the socket and push down on the connector clamp. The plug will be drawn into the socket and held firmly.
For cylinder 8 you will need a bit more hardware. You also need to remove the plastic cover that protects the battery positive cable - this is held on with a single plastic nut - the other end of the cover fits into a hole in the metalwork. The pipe shown below is the petrol feed to the injector rail. At some point when removing the coil this needs to be pulled out of the clamp and moved aside.
Well, it looks easy in the pictures, but it isn't - there is not really enough room to get the coil in and out, at one point the coil got well and truly stuck and wouldn't go in or come back out - and then it just popped in as if by magic. Fortunately, cylinder 8 is the hardest of all eight. The other side, cylinders 1 to 4 are awkward, but a lot easier. You still need a universal joint but you can use the torque wrench on most of the cylinders. Cylinders 1 and 2 come out reasonably easy but the coil has to be threaded through the expansion tank and CHF reservoir.

I setup my tourney, created a website and even received and imported several picks. Unfortunately I was too dumb to save the tourney file.
How do you set it so you can not see anyone's entries until the tournament begins built the site and you can click and see everyone's picks?
Can I use the same web address that we have used in previous years? It gave me a new web address to use this year.

« Circuit Court Rundown | Main | Habeas Corpus - What is up with Hurles? »
Habeas Corpus - En Banc Entertainment
By JK
Hello again internet universe.
The Ninth Circuit's fascinating work in its recent en banc cases has inspired me to jump back into the blogosphere and share some news/thoughts about those recent cases.
Let's start with some news. Last year, I wrote about the en banc decision in Sessoms. Briefly, in a close 6-5 en banc opinion, the Ninth Circuit granted habeas relief on the ground that the petitioner had invoked his right to counsel at the beginning of an interrogation. The Supreme Court GVR'd it based on Salinas v. Texas. I found that surprising as Salinas really had nothing to do with the issue in Sessoms. The biggest wrinkle for Sessoms after the remand was that the author of the 6-5 opinion, the legendary Betty Fletcher, has passed away. She has been replaced with McKeown.
The case has now been scheduled for a new en banc argument. This is going to happen next Tuesday, March 18 at 10:00 a.m. in San Francisco. You can watch it live through the Ninth Circuit's website.*
*A long, long time ago, I spent a great deal of time comparing the different websites of the circuit courts (I had done it for all of the New York federal district courts). It was actually sort of related to work (at least that's what I told myself), but mostly I just enjoy wasting time on the internet. The Ninth Circuit had far-and-away-not-even-close the best website. I am not just saying that because I practice in that court now. It's just really well done – easy to navigate, well-organized, nice to look at, has a ton of great info. It makes me happy to visit it on a daily basis. A nice perk of this job as now I actually get to say it's work related!
Speaking of Sessoms, I was recently told about a supremely entertaining article about the case called "Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Pointless Remand," written by Professor James Duane. Click the following link to read it: Download Duane article. Totally worth the time. The entire article is written as a conversation between Holmes and Watson. The premise is that the "pointless" GVR in Sessoms points to a larger truth – the Supreme Court intends to summarily reverse Sessoms once it gets back in front of them.
Sessoms is far from the only en banc habeas action in the Ninth Circuit. Late last year and earlier this year, the Ninth Circuit issued two, count 'em two, en banc opinions interpreting Martinez v. Ryan. And each one, like Sessoms, has a really unique wrinkle.
The first was Detrich v. Ryan. Detrich was a highly splintered opinion with no true majority opinion. There was a main opinion, two concurring opinions, and a dissenting opinion. What was called the main opinion was written by Judge William Fletcher. Judge Fletcher broke down Martinez and explained what the standard of review should be when reviewing a Martinez claim. Essentially, what does cause and prejudice mean when a petitioner relies upon ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel to overcome a procedural default? Even for a habeas-lover like me, it's a pretty gnarly opinion. There's multiple layers of deficient performance analysis stacked on top of "but for" causations, that it's a real challenge to follow. And what makes it even harder to follow is that it was not really presented in a true majority opinion. So the wrinkled question after Detrich was, does Judge Fletcher's opinion, which was not joined by a majority of the en banc panel, now set forth the proper analysis for Martinez claims in the Ninth Circuit?
The Ninth Circuit answered that question last week in a case called Claibourne v. Ryan. Using a novel approach for the Ninth Circuit (which it adopted from other circuits), the court simply counted votes on the relevant issues, including the dissent votes, to see what conclusion got the most number of votes.
It came out like this. Two good results for habeas petitioners, one bad one:
(1) where it is necessary to consider whether a procedural default should be excused under Martinez in a case where the district court's holding that there had been a procedural default preceded Martinez, and the result is uncertain, we should remand the matter to the district court to let it to conduct such a review in the first instance, if the result is uncertain. Good result.
(2) to demonstrate "cause" – the first part of the showing of "cause and prejudice" required in order to excuse a procedural default under Coleman – the petitioner must show that his post-conviction relief counsel was ineffective under Strickland. This is the bad one and is different from what Fletcher wrote in the main opinion in Detrich. What this one means is that a petitioner must show that post-conviction's counsel was defective and that the outcome of the post-conviction proceedings would have been different.
(3) "prejudice" for purposes of the Coleman "cause and prejudice" analysis in the Martinez context requires only a showing that the trial-level ineffective assistance of counsel claim was "substantial." Good result.
The other Martinez en banc opinion was Dickens v. Ryan. That case didn't spend too much time on the Martinez standard, but instead focused on when a petitioner can use Martinez to overcome a procedural default. It boiled down to this: if a petitioner presents new evidence to a federal court to improve a claim that had been previously presented to the state court, does that make the claim in the federal petition an unexhausted "new" claim such that a petitioner can rely upon Martinez to overcome the procedural default that he would inevitably face in state court if he attempted to raise the new claim? The Dickens opinion says yes. It's a great opinion for habeas petitioners.
My favorite part about the opinion was its language about Martinez vs. Pinholster. Long-time readers will know that this has been a favorite issue of mine for awhile. It's also something that Alex has written about on here. The Ninth Circuit makes quick work of it. And the winner is . . . Martinez! Here's the relevant discussion:
We reject any argument that Pinholster bars the federal district court's ability to consider Dickens's "new" IAC claim. The state argues that the district court cannot consider new allegations or evidence proffered for the first time to the district court. In Pinholster, the Supreme Court made clear that a federal habeas court may not consider evidence of a claim that was not presented to the state court. 131 S.Ct. at 1398. However, this prohibition applies only to claims previously "adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings." Id. at 1401; see also 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d).
Pinholster does not bar Dickens from presenting evidence of his "new" IAC claim, because the claim was not "adjudicated on the merits" by the Arizona courts. While the Arizona courts did previously adjudicate a similar IAC claim, the new allegations and evidence "fundamentally altered" that claim, as discussed above. See, e.g., Aiken, 841 F.2d at 883. Pinholster says nothing about whether a court may consider a "new" claim, based on "new" evidence not previously presented to the state courts. See 131 S.Ct. at 1401 n.10. Indeed, the Pinholster court expressly declined to "decide where to draw the line between new claims and claims adjudicated on the merits." Id. Thus, Pinholster does not affect earlier cases like Vasquez, Aiken, and Nevius, or a federal habeas court's ability to consider new evidence where the petitioner successfully shows cause to overcome the procedural default.
Short and sweet. And patently logical.
What's the wrinkle in this case? Well, soon after the opinion was issued, the petitioner died. En banc opinions are beginning to look cursed, huh? As a result of the death, the State moved to vacate the opinion. Earlier this week, the Ninth Circuit denied the motion stating:
[J]udicial precedents "are not merely the property of private litigants," but are "valuable to the legal community as a whole." . . . The precedent set by the en banc panel in this case will undoubtedly affect cases now pending before this court. We see no reason to undo this precedent and force future panels to duplicate our efforts by re-deciding issues we have already resolved within the contours of article III.
So Dickens remains good law. And good law it is for habeas petitioners.
The en banc machine got kicked back into gear again this week. The Ninth Circuit agreed to rehear en banc a capital case, McKinney v. Ryan, that raised the following issue: is an Eddings error structural or is it subject to harmless error? An Eddings error occurs when a state court refuses to allow certain mitigating evidence during the penalty phase because that evidence was not causally connected to the crime. Eddings stated that all mitigating evidence must be considered (I hope I am getting this right, I am a non-capital habeas person). For years, Arizona had violated this clearly established law. For years, the Ninth Circuit found the error structural. But recently, a panel found that an Eddings error was harmless. The dissent in McKinney indicated that there was now an intra-circuit split on the issue and it should be heard en banc. Ask and ye shall receive.
Finally, there is one other pending en banc case called Frost v. Van Boenning. It was argued last June. Reviewing the en banc petition, it appears that the issues are very standard-of-review heavy that only a true devotee of habeas will appreciate. Here's the main issue from the petition: "The New 'Super AEDPA Requirement' of Factual Identity with Supreme Court Precedent Conflicts with Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit Decisions and Presents an Issue of Exceptional Importance." That's an issue I have also complained about on here for years (I called it the "troubling trend"). And it's something that one of my former colleague's at Brooklyn Law School, Ursula Bentele, wrote about in depth. Frost is still pending. More info on Frost here.

Death, thou art no Respecter of persons; Washington is no more! a Great Man has fallen, and his End is peace, I shall dye said he, but death has no terrors for me; this Melancholy Event, was this day brought to this city by the mail and by private Letters; the Croup was the rapid disease which put a period to the days, of him whose, memory will I trust be Embalmed in the Hearts of all true Americans—Every countanance is coverd with Gloom. What a fair what a virtuous Character will survive him, I had almost Said how Enviable that call of his Master, which has not permitted him to exhibit to the world, a state of imbecility and bodily decay, which frequently effaces from the memory and recollection, the more shining and brilliant actions of Early Life by reducing the Body, and weakening the faculties of the mind. in a better world I trust, he will receive the Reward of a Good and faithfull Servant. The Stroke is so Sudden, and So unexpected, that we have Scarcly collected our thoughts. The Heads of departments are now in consultation with the President upon what measures are proper to be taken upon the occasion as it respects going into mourning.
I received your Letter of the Decbr 8th. I thank you for the information containd. I am really Solicitious to have mr Whitney setled with us, and shall very much regreet if a niggardly parsimony Should prevent it.
Pray have my Letter coverd to the President. Unlss mr Cranch puts his Name upon them, they must pay the postage. the two last cost me 40 cents a peice.

It's that time of year again! Whether you're a parent or educator, below are resources and tips that can help you prepare for the new school year.
Health insurance is important to ensure regular check-ups and preventive care such as immunizations and dental care, as well as emergency treatment, for children.
Medicaid and CHIP: You can find no-cost or low-cost health care for your children through the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Although each state manages its own program, it is generally open to families of four that make up to $44,100 per year.
You can get more information about the health coverage options in your state by calling 1 (877) Kids Now (1 (877) 543-7669) or visiting "Programs in Your State" on InsureKidsNow.gov.
Community Health Centers: provide primary medical and dental care to people of all ages, whether or not you have health insurance. Services include immunizations, checkups, dental care, prescription drugs, and mental health services. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Visit FindAHealthCenter.hrsa.gov to find a Health Center near you.
Affordable Care Act and Children: Also, keep in mind that students going to college can remain on their parent's health insurance policy until the age of 26 because of new provisions in the Affordable Health Act.
It's a good idea to take your child in for a physical and eye exam before school starts. If your child will be participating in a sports activity, your family doctor may have to sign a release form to permit your child to participate.
Most schools require your child's immunization shots are up-to-date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has complied information and resources to help individuals know what is needed for their children and to help them prepare for their doctor visit.
Remember that each state has different immunization requirements(link is external). Let your healthcare provider know if you have any questions or concerns about the vaccines your child is scheduled to receive.
School entry may require documentation of immunization records, so be sure to contact your school ahead of time to find out what might be required, and be sure to bring any school forms for your healthcare provider to fill out and sign. Failure to keep immunizations up-to-date could result in your child not being able to attend school. It's also helpful to keep a copy of the records for yourself and your child's school.
Homework can provide many benefits for children. It can improve memory and comprehension, develop study skills, and teach children how to manage time. You can help by making sure your kids have a quiet, well-lit place to do homework and provide assistance, but not complete answers. Learn how to help your kids with homework and succeed in school (each of these resources are also available in Spanish).
During the month of August, some states offer a "sales tax holiday," which means that certain products won't be taxed during a set period of time. This is a great opportunity to save money on back-to-school items including clothes, shoes, and supplies. Check to see if your state participates in sales tax holidays(link is external).
As you prepare to send your children back to school, remember that nutrition is an important factor in academic performance. Studies have shown that children who eat healthful, balanced breakfasts and lunches are more alert throughout the school day and earn higher grades than those who have an unhealthy diet. Get tips on packing a healthful lunch.
It's offered at daycare centers, public schools and private nonprofit schools enrolled in the program. Learn more facts about eligibility at alternative educational programs.

International Latin America and ALBA-TCP News
The son of Bolsonaro (elected Brazilian President) proposes to outlaw the Landless Movement and "arrest 100 thousand people"
November 24, 2018 orinocotribune 0 Comments Fascism, International, Latin America and ALBA-TCP, News
The plans of Bolsonaro Jr.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman and son of the president of the ultra-right-wing elected, said what will be the projects he will promote from his bench and the country proposal that he will defend from his place in the convulsed Lower House of Brazil. "If it were necessary to arrest 100 thousand people, what is the problem?" Affirmed the public defender of torture regarding the need to criminalize social movements in the country, such as the Landless Movement. In an interview with the newspaper Estadao listed the bills that he will promote: the end of sexual education programs, which he considered "indoctrinary", the construction of more prisons and the project "School without a party", in addition to conservative reforms announced by your father.
The right-wing ran the possibility that opposition political parties were considered illegal and dismissed the fact that this decision generated frictions with the principles of freedom established in the Constitution. "It is a proposal that I would like to see prospered, but that depends on the renewal of the National Congress. It is to follow the example of democratic countries, such as Poland, which has already suffered on the skin what communism is, "he said, after comparing communism with prostate cancer.
Before Jair Bolsonaro came forward as a candidate, Eduardo had already brought charges against him for inciting torture from social networks. During the campaign he published a picture of a man dying with a plastic bag under the legend "# EleNão", the slogan that motivated the massive mobilizations against the then candidate.
"One of the roles of parliamentarians is to make people aware. They have atypical attributions. And they have to use their position to be a representative of a part of society to talk about the dangers of communism. Just as I talk about prostate cancer. ", He stressed during these days in the interview with the Brazilian portal.
"What happens today is that groups like the MST sometimes use their criminal power to invade land, set fire to tractors to force the farmer to sell their land at a price below the market. They impose terror to earn a profit on the other hand. It's what people try to fight. That is terrorism. It is the intention to bring terror to intimidate people. If it were necessary to arrest 100 thousand people, what is the problem in that? I don't see a problem in leaving a hundred thousand people with this type of position, who believe that the invasion of land is something normal, free to commit their crimes. This is my main fear. I want to make life difficult for these people, "said the most voted member of Brazilian history, criticized for his homophobia, xenophobia and antidemocratic behavior.
When talking about himself, Eduardo says that he is a federal police officer with a postgraduate degree in liberal economics who likes geopolitics and international law. When asked what his objective is, he talks about the need to hold a "Sao Paulo Forum" but on the right, which includes both Italian far-right minister Matteo Salvini and Steve Bannon, the mastermind behind the Donald Trump campaign. and many of its most controversial initiatives. "I want to take advantage of this conservative wave to give an answer to the Forum of Sao Paulo," he confessed. For the deputy, "people want to have an international connection for the exchange of ideas." It would be a think tank "in which measures are considered that can be imported and transferred from those countries".
In terms of international politics, he also gave his approval to the intervention of Venezuela because there, he said, "besides communism, they have Hezbollah and drug trafficking."
In addition, he confirmed that during the government of his father will stop promoting educational programs with gender content. "Do you think it is important to get your job to talk about machismo and feminism? That does not contribute at all. You can have debates, not imposing a single vision at the academic level, "he said. On the contrary, the legislator vindicates military schools. "The great success today are the schools militarized by the PM. Goiás reaches 40 and Manaus has nine, and there is a line of hundreds of parents to get a place there. What is needed today at school is to have discipline, "he said.

This Spanish island is well known for vibrant night life and its legendary clubs; however, in addition to the hedonism, Ibiza offers charming villages, peaceful areas to retreat, and inviting beaches. For those interested in culture, Ibiza Town's port is a UNESCO world heritage site. Other things to do include shopping, exploring the coast on boat tours, and enjoying the island's scenic beauty.
The largest island in the Mediterranean, Malta lies almost in the centre and has a rich history. Less than 100km south of Sicily and less than 300km north of Africa, Malta has been in the cross channels of history for centuries. It has been ruled by a variety of monarchs, from the British and French to the Moors and Romans. It has many historic sites to explore, including temples, fortresses, subterranean arrangement rooms and burial chambers dating from around 4000BC. Malta has been described as one big museum out in the open air, as so much of its history is readily apparent. With loads of sun, Malta is also popular for relaxing, visiting wide sandy beaches, and plenty of sporting activities. With plenty of upmarket hotels and resorts, there is also a wide range of restaurants and spas to partake of some pampering.

Review of Murder Cases Is Ordered : Jail-House Informant Casts Doubt on Convictions Based on Confessions
By TED ROHRLICH
Oct. 29, 1988 12 AM PT
Los Angeles law enforcement authorities, concerned that innocent defendants could have been convicted of murders because of testimony fabricated by jail-house informants, this week began an extraordinary review of every case in the last decade in which one inmate testified that another had confessed in jail.
The painstaking review was ordered after a longtime informant demonstrated convincingly that, while in jail, he could gather enough information about a murder case to implicate a defendant he had apparently never met.
The informant gathered the information from a jail telephone by persuading law enforcement authorities over the phone that he was a prosecutor and, at other times, a police officer.
'Very Concerned'
Los Angeles County Assistant Sheriff Dick Foreman said his department and other law enforcement agencies are "very concerned."
"We're a justice agency," Foreman said. "We would hate to think that someone was convicted based on this kind of scenario. That's why we're taking steps to make sure that this (a wrongful conviction) did not happen."
Foreman said, however, that while such a conviction was possible, he thought that the chances of it having happened were remote.
Foreman, who oversees the Sheriff's Department's jails, said he doubted that many jail informants had the sophistication to trick law enforcement personnel into giving them detailed information about another inmate's case.
Also, he said, law enforcement officers tend to be skeptical, and seek verification, of confessions reported by jail-house informants, who usually want leniency in return for their testimony.
However, a leading defense lawyer disputed that assessment, saying law enforcement authorities were not skeptical enough.
"I think that one of the most abused aspects of the criminal justice system is the use of jail-house informants," said Richard G. Hirsch of Los Angeles, former president of California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, a group of 2,000 private defense lawyers.
"In almost every major murder case in this county, if the case appears to be weak, or if there (are) problems in trial, at some point a jail-house informant comes forth alleging that the suspect has confessed to the crime," Hirsch said.
"Those of us involved in criminal defense work have always believed that these are not legitimate . . . confessions. . . . Every lawyer that I know of, the first thing he tells a client is don't talk to anybody in jail, because the place is crawling with informants. . . . It's just inconceivable that criminal defendants are running around the jail copping out to people."
Could Fake Confession
Foreman said the informant, Leslie Vernon White, demonstrated within the last week or two how he could gather enough information to fake a murder confession by another inmate through use of a pay telephone in the jail house. Courts have required the Sheriff's Department to give inmates virtually unlimited access to telephones, Foreman said.
For the demonstration, sheriff's deputies furnished White with the last name of an inmate. Deputies thought it highly unlikely White knew the inmate, who was in fact charged with murder.
The assistant sheriff said White began by calling the inmate reception center at the county jail and posing as a bail bondsman to get information normally available to the public about any jail inmate. He found out the first name and booking number, the charge, the court, the bail, the date of arrest and the name of the county jail in which the inmate was housed.
Then he called the district attorney's records office, identifying himself as "Deputy D.A. Michaels, from court upstairs," and was able to learn the name of the deputy district attorney assigned to prosecute the case and when the crime occurred.
He then called the district attorney's witness coordinator and got the phone number for the courtroom in which the case was being handled.
Then he called the sheriff's homicide squad, identified himself as a sheriff's sergeant assigned to the jail and was able to find out the name of the victim in the case and which sheriff's station was handling the investigation.
Then he called the deputy district attorney actually assigned to the case. He identified himself as a Los Angeles police sergeant who had informants of his own who were talking about the case. White said he needed to know details of the case from the prosecutor so that he could test the veracity of his informants. The prosecutor gave him details, Foreman said.
Finally, Foreman said White was aware that if he were to testify about a confession, he would need to show that he had been in the same physical environs as the inmate who purportedly confessed.
To accomplish this, he made another phone call. Posing as a deputy district attorney, he called a sheriff's deputy working as a bailiff in a suburban court and said that he would be at that court soon and needed to interview two inmates--White and the murder suspect.
The bailiff agreed to arrange their transportation to the court, where they would have been placed in the same holding cell while waiting for the supposed-deputy district attorney to interview them.
On Thursday, Foreman said the Sheriff's Department notified the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office of the potential problem.
Richard Hecht, director of the district attorney's branch operations, said his agency's review began Friday afternoon. "We don't know the extent of the problem but we are finding out," he said.
He noted that jail-house informants are used in an extremely small percentage of cases, and that the cases typically involved major crimes.
Examine Each Case
Hecht said his office planned to examine each case in which an informant had testified about a jail-house confession during the last 10 years or so.
"Our question is: Was justice served in each case?" Hecht said. "This is going to be an aggressive inquiry. We want to get to the truth whether it's good or bad."
Hecht also said the district attorney's office is reviewing the way it deals with informants. While that review is under way, high-level approval of their use will be required, he said.
Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Lt. Fred Nixon said: "We're looking at all such cases from recent years . . . where there was a jail-house informant. I don't have a precise number."
He said the department was preparing a memo to emphasize to its officers "the necessity to corroborate and look at the information from jail-house informants very cautiously."
Capt. Dick Walls, the Sheriff's Department's chief spokesman, said he expects the inquiry to eventually branch out from murder cases to cover all cases "in which there is a possibility that a jail-house informant's testimony was crucial to a prosecution."
Special Emphasis
Spokesmen for both the Sheriff's Department and the district attorney's office indicated that they would place special emphasis on scrutinizing cases involving White.
White told sheriff's deputies that he had never obtained information by phone this way himself nor faked another inmate's confession, but that he had learned the method by watching others, Foreman said.
Foreman said White did not cite any cases in which confessions had been faked.
Neither Foreman nor Hecht said he knew how many cases White had testified in since he began his career as an informant in the late 1970s. However, there were apparently quite a few.
Los Angeles Superior Court records contain a report from the state Department of Corrections stating that, at one point in 1986 alone, White "was giving testimony as a witness on six homicides."
Helpful Informant
The same records contain comments from prosecutors about White's helpfulness as an informant. One prosecutor from Fresno reported that White had helped in an unspecified fashion in the prosecution of a "prominent member of the Mexican Mafia."
Another prosecutor from Los Angeles was quoted in the records as saying that White "has been helpful in informing on members of the Aryan Brotherhood." Both groups are prison gangs. White, 30, was contacted at the Hall of Justice jail on Friday where he is being held in protective custody under another name in an area of the jail occupied by about 100 people who have been identified as informants.
White, who has a long felony record that includes convictions for kidnaping and grand theft, now faces charges of receiving stolen property. He declined to be interviewed on the advice of his attorney, who did not return a telephone call to his office.

Home / Walt Disney Archives / Disney Legends / Richard Todd
Legends Award Category: Film, Television
(Pictured above center, Richard Todd)
Actor Richard Todd's innate power and dash proved a perfect fit for Disney's chivalrous, high-adventure films including 1952's The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men, 1953's The Sword and the Rose, and 1954's Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue, which was selected that year as the command performance film in England. Film critic Bosley Crowther described Richard in the New York Times as "handsome as the kilted and bonneted Rob, simply a splendid idealization of the hero."
Born June 11, 1919, to a British army officer, Richard grew up in Ireland, India, and England. He attended a London drama school, where his natural acting ability upstaged his initial intent to playwright. He worked with various repertory companies, including the Open Air Theatre in Regents Park where he played opposite Vivien Leigh in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. He founded the Dundee Repertory Theatre in 1939.
World War II interrupted his career soon after.
Richard, who served in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and the Parachute Regiment, was among the first wave of parachutists dropped onto the beaches of Normandy for the D-Day Invasion. He also participated in the Battle of the Bulge and Rhine crossing operations.
By 1946, Richard was a ready-made hero for post-war movies. His role with Ronald Reagan in 1949's The Hasty Heart won him critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, including an Academy Award® nomination and British National Film Award. The next year, Alfred Hitchcock cast him with Jane Wyman and Marlene Dietrich in Stage Fright. His other films include Lightning Strikes Twice, directed by King Vidor; The Virgin Queen with Bette Davis; and A Man Called Peter, directed by Henry Koster.
Richard was particularly well-suited for war-themed motion pictures. Among them were The Dam Busters with Michael Redgrave, D-Day the Sixth of June with Robert Taylor, and The Longest Day, directed by fellow Legend Ken Annakin.
Richard recalled his transition from mostly war films to Disney medieval fare with bemused affection, saying the "Robin Hood roles" were "where my image was all daring deeds, until my swash began to buckle a bit." All three of Richard's Disney films were produced in England with blocked funds that Disney had been unable to get out of the country since World War II. While some questioned Disney's presence overseas, the actor felt it perfectly appropriate. After all, he pointed out to a Los Angeles Times reporter in 1953, "They're British stories!"
By the late-1960s, he returned his focus to his first love, the stage, performing in productions which included Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband. Among his small screen roles, Richard Todd costarred as himself in the 1996 television movie Marlene Dietrich: Shadow and Light.
Richard Todd passed away on December 3, 2009 in Little Humby, England.


Jane and I left for the shack today. Not coming back till Friday.
Picked the floor coverings last week (tile for humi and tile that looks like wood for SR).
The electrical is all roughed in and they installed the 4 fans on Tuesday. Today they started spraying the foam insulation so it was time to go.
Should get the final drawings from the cabinet maker for approval on Monday.
Janes out of town this coming weekend so I'll post some pics.
Going to replace the stairs to the basement. When they opened up the wall there was space so we made a little cubby and put a light in it.
Gas mask storage for the girls?
Ended up installing 3 - 400 cfm "whisper quiet fans. Limited space they had to fit in the rafters. Have room in the old widow for more but going to see how this works. Spread out over 5 or so feet seems to draw pretty well.
From inside the walk-in. All electrical is roughed in. Closed cell foam on walls and ceiling is cured and they put up the green-board next week.
"From inside the walk-in". Yup I had to read that twice.
Double shelf is second shelf that pulls out another 16" to set boxes on as needed for digging.
Or more room to stack if necessary.
We will find out in a few weeks.
Drywall in the walk in.
What are you using for cooling?
It's in the basement. In the past basement has always been in the high 60's winter and summer. We insulated the heck out of it so I'm not sure what the future holds.
No HVAC ducts or returns in the Walk in. No returns in the smoke room.
Made a provision in the utility closet (Pic below) where the reverse osmosis system goes (low by the water and drain in pic) to be able to vent and drain an AC unit if required. Humidification device is inside the walk in in the corner - Rev osmosis system is in this closet, water piped thru the wall to the humidifier. Going to have a shelf half way up in the closet where the ac unit would go if needed with ducting out into the corner shelving area of the walk in.
Happy with how the little cubby on the stairs is turning out.
It's a place that lil Gerry could sleep over in.

A new strategy for health in the workplace has been published by the Health and Safety Executive, in an attempt to improve health at work.
The MP Penny Mordaunt, Minister of State for Disabled People, Health and Work, is supporting the new Health and Work strategy.
According to recent figures, musculoskeletal disorders and stress account for around 80% of working days lost to ill health. Additionally, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has released data that demonstrates that around 12,000 deaths occur every year due to occupational lung diseases. This accounts for an estimated 90% of deaths related to previous exposure in the workplace.
In 2015, around 1.3 million workers suffered a work-related illness, which resulted in almost 26 million days being lost. The cost for new cases of absence due to workplace ill health is thought to be more than £9bn a year. It is also estimated that 25% of enforcement notices issued by HSE are related to concerns regarding health and safety in the workplace. The launch of the strategy took place at Nova Victoria in London, and stakeholders were encouraged to join in person, via webinars, social media, and email.
HSE has invited comments and information from all stakeholders about the strategy, to build engagement with the process, and invite people to share their own strategies for improving health in the workplace.
Existing regulations mean that all companies must provide training and the use of PPE and specialist workwear where appropriate, protecting workers from harm.

Prahlada was born to Hiranyakashipu and Kayadu. Hiranyakashipu was an evil king of Daityas who had been granted a boon that he could not be killed by any man or animal, at day or night, inside or outside. Hence Hiranyakashipu declared himself to be the God of the whole universe and proclaimed that there was no other God but himself, and ordered that all the worship should be offered to him. Prahlada was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu and despite of several warnings from his father Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada continued to worship Vishnu instead of him.
His father then decided to commit filicide (killing ones own child) and poison Prahlada but he survived. He also attempted to trample this young boy with elephants, but Prahlada survived. Then he put him in a room with venomous snakes, and they made a bed for him with their bodies and provided him comfort instead.
Holika, the sister of Hiranyakashipu, was blessed that she could not be hurt by fire. Hiranyakashipu finally put Prahlada on Holika's lap as she sat on a pyre. Prahlada prayed to Lord Vishnu and Holika was burnt to death as Prahlada was unscathed. This event is still celebrated in India as the Hindu festival of Holi.
When the king Hiranyakashipu found out Prahlada's claim that the God Vishnu is present everywhere and in everything. He became furious and threatened the boy to kill him, and abused Vishnu in the worst language. But Prahlada still insisted that Vishnu was the Lord of the universe, with no Beginning and no End, the Omnipotent and the Omnipresent, and as such, he alone was to be worshipped. The king roared with anger and said: "You evil one, if your Vishnu is God omnipresent, why does he not reside in that pillar yonder?" Prahlada humbly submitted that He did do so. "If so," cried the king, "let him defend thee; I will kill thee with this sword." Thus saying the king rushed at him with sword in hand, and gave a terrible blow at the pillar.
Instantly thundering voice was heard, and lo and behold, out of that pillar appeared Lord Vishnu in His awful Nrisimha form — half-lion and half-man! After tolerating abuse from Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada was eventually saved by Narasimha, who killed the king at the entrance to his home at dusk.
Then the gods descended from heaven and offered hymns to Vishnu (Narasimha), and Prahlada also fell at His feet and broke forth into exquisite hymns of praise and devotion. Thus blessing Prahlada, the Lord Vishnu disappeared. Then the gods headed by Brahma installed Prahlada on the throne of the Daityas and returned to their respective spheres.

Sen. John Kerry apologized for "a botched joke" about President Bush's Iraq policies that led Bush and fellow Republicans to accuse him of insulting U.S. troops.
At issue is Kerry's speech to a group of California students on Monday, where he said people who don't study hard and do their homework would likely "get stuck in Iraq." Kerry said he mangled the delivery of a line aimed at Bush - according to aides, language which was originally written to say "you end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq."
Belated and begruding apology! One question tough, the students who laughed at his joke couldn't have known it was a badly delivered joke. They believed the John Kerry's "joke" as it was delivered. Not sure, what reaction John Kerry had when he heard the laughter. He could have corrected himself and admonished the students for laughing at the expense of the soldiers.
Link: Pasadena Star-News - Dem stars rally on campus.
Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - "If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq," he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps.

I got an InverseFunction. How can I get rid of this?

A: Solution by Solve:
I changed the letter C to M.
 Internal`InheritedBlock[{Solve}, Unprotect[Solve];
 Solve[x___] := Block[{$guard = True}, Print["Solve called : ", HoldForm[Solve[x]]];
 Solve[x]] /; ! TrueQ[$guard];
 DSolve[a''[t] a[t] - (1 - M) a'[t]^2 + (Cc - M L/3) a[t]^2 + (M - 1) k/2 == 0, a[t], t]];

 (*long output*)

The last line of output is:
 Solve[Inactive[Integrate][(Sqrt[6]*Sqrt[M])/Sqrt[-3*k*M - 6*Cc*K[2]^2 + 2*L*M*K[2]^2 + 6*M*C[1]*K[2]^(2 - 2*M)],
{K[2], 1, a[t]}] == t + C[2], a[t]]

Solution by Maple:

Maple can't find closed form for this integral:(.

A: The substitution $u = a^c$ transforms the OP's ODE into (with $c=C$)
$$u''/c + (C_c -c L/3)\,u + {(c-1)k \over  2} {u^{1-2/c}}=0\,.$$
This can be put in the form
$$u'' + a\,u = b\,u^p \quad (p = 1-2/c) \tag{1}$$
or more generally
$$u'' + a\,u = f(u)\,. \tag{2}$$
Here is a check in Mathematica:
odeOP = a''[t] a[t] - (1 - C) a'[t]^2 + (Cc - C L/3) a[t]^2 + (C - 1) k/2 /. C -> c;

(* u[t] == a[t]^c *)
odeU = u''[t]/c + (Cc - c L/3) u[t] + (c - 1) k/2 u[t]^(1 - 2/c);
backsub = odeU /. u -> (a[#]^c &) // PowerExpand // Simplify;  (* assumes a[t] > 0 *)
a[t]^(2 - c) backsub - odeOP // Simplify
(*  0  <-- No difference other than the factor a[t]^(2 - c) *)

Now let's try to solve ODEs (1) and (2):
DSolve[u''[t] + a u[t] == b u[t]^p, u, t]

DSolve[u''[t] + a u[t] == f[u[t]], u, t]

The first solution shows that unless $1+p = 2-2/c$ is a rational number in a fairly limited range, the integral in the equation won't be evaluated.  For several values of $p$ (integers between $-2$ and $5$, $\pm 1/2$, $1/3$), the integral can be calculated but the equation cannot be solved. The only case I've found the ODE can be solved is $p=1$ (obviously, if you think about it), but $c$ is undefined. The case $p=-1$ might seem possible, and in a sense it is. The (b K[1]^(1 + p))/(1 + p) term becomes b Log[K[1]] when p = -1, and the integral cannot be found; however, the corresponding value of $c$ is $c=1$, which gets rid of the nonlinear term and allows the OP's ODE to be solved.
In short, as I said in my comment, you are probably stuck with the implicit solutions (or the one in terms of InverseFunction, which is practically the same thing).

Tomahawks are some of the oldest and most traditional tools of the Western Hemisphere. Originally used by Native Americans and later improved by the steel brought from Europe, tomahawks are almost as American as cowboys themselves.
These days tomahawks serve a variety of purposes, but one thing always stands out, their versatility. Tomahawks these days can be used as not only a tool for survival, they also serve competitive and recreational uses.
While they aren't to be confused with axes, they both share similar utilities; tomahawks and axes can be used for chopping wood for fire, cutting down vegetation, and even cleaving down trees. But, tomahawks serve an additional purpose, they were intended as weapons. You read that right, Native Americans originally utilized these as armaments of war, yet they also understood the variable uses of these as tools.
It's no surprise that throwing axes have endured for generations as even today the United State Army uses them during routine operations. They're lightweight, reliable and easy to travel with, which in the field of combat is extremely important as soldiers already carry over fifty pounds of equipment. But, finding the best throwing tomahawk can be a daunting task, after all, very rarely will you leave a house looking for the best throwing tomahawk money will buy.
Many consumers are also unaware of what factors to look for when buying one for the first time. It's easy to start looking online for different tactical throwing axes, only to feel overwhelmed by the large variety of products available. Today, I'll be looking at possibly the best throwing tomahawk in the market in order to relieve you of the stress of having to do so by yourself.
I personally love the SOG FastHawk, a lightweight and well-designed tactical throwing axe crafted for urban survival and competitive use. If you love the outdoors as much as you love life, then you'll certainly benefit from owning of these lovely babies. The SOG FastHawk is everything you'll need when answering the call of nature. But, you don't have to take my word for it, as the average SOG FastHawk review rates as a 4.7 out of 5.
Made of 420 Stainless Steel and with a glass-reinforced nylon handle it is as fearsome as it is lithe. It is measured at 12.5 inches and weighing at nineteen ounces with a 2 inch blade. It's lightweight ensures ease of handle, and it is surprisingly durable, which ensures that it will stick with you even when things get rough.
The SOG FastHawk will be one of your fiercest companions, when you need to chop trees, cut logs, dig holes, pry doors open, break walls, hammer nails, and even when you need a close shave. Its uses are pretty much only limited by your imagination, and don't think for a second that it isn't useful in other fields besides survival. As it is one of the best competitive throwing axes in the market.
Not only is this one of the highest rated tomahawks in the market, it is also rather economical with a price tag that ranges from $22.00 to $49.00 USD; you're looking at some true bang for your buck with this axe. This price range also makes it one of the most affordable survival tools you can purchase in stores. Why would you spend money on buy a mini-shovel and a hammer, when buying a tomahawk will save you the trouble and also weight less than carrying both of the aforementioned?
I already wrote at lengths about the benefits of the SOG FastHawk. I don't think it needs to be said that it's an exceptional weapons/tool and functions very well at its intended use. Definitely my number 1 pick for the top 5 tomahawks for throwing regardless of the scenario. For those interested in purchasing one, check it out for yourself in Amazon.
Finely crafted, and well-designed, the Smith and Wesson SW671 is a great choice for outdoorsmen and sportsmen alike. Unlike, some of the other tomahawks on this list the SW671 is quite heavy (at 3.2 pounds) because of this the grip was designed with comfortability in mind. The blade is made out of 1070 steel which is tough to say the least, this means less maintenance on your part, but also longer use overall with proper maintenance.
While I wouldn't recommend this for self-defense in terms of throwing axes, using it with proper technique can be quite the rush. But, thanks to a combination of price, comfort, and durability, I highly recommend the S&W SW671.
Originally crafted for camping, the MTech USA MT-AXE8 is exactly what it says on the tin. But, don't let that fool you, this blade functions as an effective throwing axe for sportsmen as well as outdoorsmen who want to practice their hatchet throws. Made out of 440 Stainless Steel, with a grip designed for proper handling even when wet, the MT-AXE8 is a solid choice and it definitely earns its spot in my top 5 tomahawks for throwing list!
If there is one thing Estwing knows, it's how to make some amazing tomahawks. Crafting axes for generations, they are some of the top manufacturers of axes in the business. Ranking at a 4.8 out of 5 stars in Amazon, the tool is forged into one piece, and the blade is amazingly enduring. The craftsmanship on this darling is tough, but does require regular upkeep in order to maintain it in good shape.
Smooth and sleek, the Cold Steel Trench Hawk has your back. Crafted with Drop Forged 1055 Carbon Steel and with an overall length of 19 inches, the Trench Hawk is the perfect tool for emergency escapes. Weighing a mere 24 ounces and a polypropylene handle it is built to withstand blunt impact.
An interesting pro tip is that the spike on the back of the head penetrates targets like a sharp knife! For extra points, the axe also comes with its own sheath.
Most outdoorsmen will not consider indulging on the sport of competitive axe throwing. But, for those who like their sports on the extreme side, you can always try your luck out at a friendly backyard tomahawk throwing competition between buddies.
As with any sport, there are rules and regulations which prevent you from using any axe you'd like, but for the most part, you can find that SOG has enough variety in their wares to fulfill the requirements of any throwing tomahawk competition. But, as far as we go, we always recommend going with the FastHawk, especially for competitions in the United States.
Philadelphia and Chicago are actually some of the states that have indoor ranges where you can practice the sport. Canada on the other hand has a league that is about 1,500 players strong and has around a 150 employees, and has indoor hatchet throwing ranges in a lot more locales. Seeing as the sport was more common in that region, this comes as no surprise.
In-spite of our earlier recommendation for the FastHawk, we have to admit that the best throwing axe is whichever one you're most comfortable using. You can certainly shop around stores and different retailers both online and in person to find an axe that feels right at home in your hands.
They will vary in weight, size, shape, and even the type of tool featured in the back. Depending on your needs you will have to shop around, especially if you're planning of using it as an urban survival tool, or an outdoors one. Tomahawks are almost as versatile as we are, and it's simply a matter of taking your time and looking at your choices.
Whether you're going to compete in the big leagues, or go out on a camping trip with your buddies, the best throwing axe is the one you own!

I love taking road trips! There is nothing more relaxing to me than driving on U.S. highways.
Especially in a state like Texas you can drive for two days and still be in the state… but the areas are so varied that the drives are beautiful.
One of my favorite part of these drives are the cows. The ranches on both sides of the highway are home to these magnificent animals.
I love these cows and over the course of many years I have come to know them by name–hereford, santa gertrudis, angus, jersey and of course the beloved longhorn.
I love watching them go by as we speed along–at the speed limit, of course–and they go about their business grazing and ignoring the noisy vehicles.
Sometimes a whole family of cows is sitting and standing under a big oak tree–at their leisure living this southern life.
I have–more than once–pulled over to watch them and sometimes take pictures of them.
On rare occasions one will look right at me. And I have to admit that for a moment it stops my heart. It is a form of communication in that one look.
It's as if the cow is trying to understand my species as much as I would like to understand hers.
There are times, when driving as the sun is going down, when you can see them line up and follow each other over a ridge.
In silent agreement they head home to where they will rest after a long day in the sun. It is truly amazing.
Some people have commented to me how badly they feel for the cows on these farms–that they are being raised just to be killed.
And I couldn't disagree more. These beautiful animals are living out their purpose and they do so with grace and dignity.
So I will continue to enjoy these road trips every chance I get and to admire the beautiful cows along the way.

Kitemark Must Not be Allowed to Become Bog Standard? – Markey
Business & Trade, News
Midlands North-West MEP, Colm Markey, has warned of the risks of different standards emerging between Britain and the EU, particularly along the border counties.
"Whether there is a deal or no deal, we are likely to see some divergence in standards after the end of the transition period. While there seems now to be potential for agreement on "non-regression" – that is to say that the current set of standards over safety, workers' rights, the environment and climate change will not change – not going backwards is not the same as going forwards together."
"My concern is that the British may decide not to keep up with any future improvement of standards. The very heart of the pro-Brexit position was to be allowed to decide for themselves to undercut EU rules and regulations and the risk is that divergence will increase over time. This could potentially become a more significant factor than customs procedures or tariffs. "
"There was a time when the British Standard (Kitemark) was seen as a world leader, a gold standard towards which everyone else aspired. Let us hope that British standards are not destined to become the bare minimum in future."
"There has been discussion around a "ratchet clause" where both parties could agree to raise standards to an agreed level at the same time. The difficulty is where one party decides to keep their standards at a lower level to gain competitive advantage and whether or not this would trigger tariffs."
"While the operation of different standards would be difficult across the Island of Ireland, it would be particularly challenging in the border region. Likewise, the imposition of tariffs will hit hardest those industries and regions that have the greatest interaction."
"It is in the interest of communities on both sides of the border to have continued regulatory alignment across the island of Ireland for a prolonged period into the future"
