The concept of the Gladiator 411 Carbon Series project is to offer an alternative to the big power inboards with the super reliable and silent Mercury 450R outboard engines that can be easily serviced anywhere in the world. Not yet presented, the first 411 Carbon Series has been sold to a French client, a former owner of fast inboard offshore boats willing to be fast without the typical reliability issues and running costs of the inboards. The double stepped hull and deck are entirely made of custom woven carbon-fiber and Kevlar - epoxy and fitted with an integrated structural tail bracket to guarantee maximum strength, rigidity and impact resistance. The entire project has been engineered between Michel Karsenti, Canados’ President and 4 times offshore powerboat world champion, Simone Cesati, an expert in high-tech composite construction, and Albert Dalle Molle a high-performance boat consultant.
As a result, the hull finesse is such, that, with an empty weight of 3100 kg, the boat will be on average 30% lighter than any other boat of this type on the market. Despite her very sleek and aggressive design, the 411 Carbon Series will be comfortable with its five X-Craft mitigation seats, allowing to run the boat hard even in the swell. The entire hardware, for weight consideration, is all made of anodized aluminum and has been sourced in Italy for the cleats and carbon-fiber accessories, and from the US for the rest, with a good portion of it designed and custom produced for Canados such as the inner LED lighted grab handles. The entire upholstery will be made of Alcantara® Exo while the all boat will be painted, like every other Canados, in Awlgrip®.
This crucial aspect will only be visible at the dashboard where all the usual old-fashioned gauges have been removed and replaced by a central Garmin® 22” display and two 9” Vessel Views.
As the Gladiator 411 Carbon Series is not a boat to put in everyone’s hands, she is equipped in such way that the steering wheel can be moved from one side to the other, offering the possibility to be used like a race boat, with a throttleman and a driver, or in case the owner is willing to run her alone, he can move the helm to the other side. The first Gladiator 411 Carbon Series will also be equipped with a cabin with a 2-meter (6’7”) by 3,10-meter (10’2”)bed.
On the other end, the segment in Europe is virtually inexistant, mainly because European boaters do not want to deal with high consumption inboards, high running costs and lack of experts capable of doing proper maintenance on inboard engines. The Gladiator 411 Carbon Series might very well be a game changer and fill an empty gap.
After delivery, the Canados Gladiator 411 Carbon Series number one will be taken, together with a Gladiator 431 and a Gladiator 631, for a presentation roadshow across the Med.
Full load displacement: 4215 with 5 people onboard.
Construction: Carbon Fiber/Kevlar/Epoxy with vacuum bagged coring.
From now on, two new demo Gladiators are based between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, a 431 Walk Around with twin Volvo inboard diesel and a 431 Speedster with triple Mercury 450R.
Alain Zenatti, the American Gladiator representative is on-deck to promote the US development and is currently developing co-branding with high standards luxury business partners.
From this month, Gladiator has a constant presence at Miami’s most emblematic Concept Store, The Arsenale®, in the heart of the Miami Design District and at the Faena® Hotel on Miami Beach.

FACETS of Facilitation (© 2011 and ® 2013) is our core Facilitator Competency model.  It acknowledges that facilitation is not merely a one dimensional activity, but has multiple and interrelated layers.  Facilitation is truly multi-faceted.  F A C E T S is designed as an acronym which  signifies six key areas that we consider to be central to both the skill level and character of practitioners. Thus FACETS® also provides a framework for assessing and guiding personal and professional development.
Many resources relating to explaining, evaluating and developing the FACETS® competencies are available to Affiliate and Accredited Members.The six FACETS of Facilitation are:
This facet covers the identifiable skills and the personal qualities that combine to form a facilitators’ style.  This is about the dimensions, modes and hands on practical interventions that can be utilised in groups.  For example, providing activities, eliciting meaning, establishing a positive climate, and handling emotions, etc.  Our approach is informed by the founding work of John Heron which has long guided our practice.
This facet is best described as the ability to ‘tune into’ the prevailing group dynamics.  Awareness asks the question, ‘what is really going on?’  It tends to inform the quality of intervention that a facilitator provides, often getting below the surface to explore assumptions, attitudes, beliefs, and anxieties.  Awareness guides the skilful exploration of relationships and the understanding of social systems, and the appropriate response to equality, diversity and dominance.  It is foundational to qualities such as safety, being genuine, having positive regard, etc.
This facet is about handling the agreed working relationships that form a boundary around any facilitated event; to this end contracting seeks to clarify and manage the expectations of all involved.  Contracting has many dimensions, including the relationship between facilitator and participants, facilitator and sponsor, and participants and sponsor.  It also has differing layers, ranging from psychological safety, to personal goals, to business outcomes.
This facet honours the ethical framework within which practitioners operate, and points towards professional standards and good practice.  It encompasses such areas as diversity, equality, integrity, and the environment.  It transcends the mere agreeing to an ethical statement by supporting practitioners to ‘walk their talk’ and to demonstrate their values in action.
This facet concerns the way facilitators handle the knowledge that underpins and informs their practice.  Our commitment is to the development of critically reflective practitioners, i.e., those who not only shape their practice by engaging with theory, but who develop fresh knowledge and insights that arise from their experience.  We value highly learning that is experiential, emergent, and critically reflective.
This facet attends to the area of supervision, personal maintenance, and well being.  As with any ‘helping’ profession, facilitators often face difficult behaviours, resistance, and complex situations.  Over time the gradual build up of client material can have a detrimental effect on performance.  This facet seeks to ensure that facilitators regularly attend to their own support needs, and thus continue to serve their clients well.


Every time an effective marketing channel is created, it's not long before we (as in marketers) ruin it by flooding it with irrelevant message after irrelevant message, until consumers finally switch off (or unsubscribe, or opt out, or ad-block).
First it was Direct Mail. By inundating people with huge volumes of barely targeted and terribly written mail, we made sure that these days most people a) barely get any post at all and b) throw most of what they do get straight into the bin. We sucked all the joy out of receiving letters and aided the creation of the word "Junk Mail".t?  Nowadays, sending a marketing email to anyone requires us to navigate a maze of IP reputation, compliance, data protection, and deliverability.
The latest channel we are killing is display advertising. We have shot ourselves in the foot by bombarding our Web visitomany people have had enough.
Figures from the IAB released last November tell us that 18% of consumers in the UK have ad-blocking software installed.
You'd think we would learn, as an industry, not to kill our cash cows. But we haven't.
!
Be smarter with our data. So few ads actually use what we know about our customers/prospects to drive creative and targeting in a joined up way.
Let people block us. Giving people the option to turn off ads completely in return for something - money, data, endorsement, whatever is of value to the business you're working for - is great customer experience and may actuaEducate people as to what the purpose of advertising is - for some businesses (like the one I work in) advertising is absolutely vital in providing free, high quality websites to our local communities and we shouldn't be ashamed to admit that. Sometimes just explaining why we run ads is enough.
You never know, just by being patient and looking at what they are browsing, we could learn something and serve them with much more relevant, personalised AND effective ads.

Insights on Major-General John Monash from Adam Wakeling’s The Last Fifty Miles.


H! Grandpa said he was working to provide for his wife and young son and his parents. He said “looks like there is a job to he done, I am young, strong and reliable and I can dig rings around all of these other fellas. If you give me a chance I will show you. I worked yesterday for no money and didn’t even ask at the end of the day. I wanted you to see my work and know I was a man of my word.” Grandpa was hired on the spot. That started a lifetime of hard work for this man of ethics. His example to us was my plumb line for hard work and diligence in anything I ever did. If I said yes to a project I would always think of Grandpa Smith if I wanted to give up. He never did give up.
Are you a good example to those watching you? My prayer is that I would learn over the years to live that quiet life, work hard and be a godly example to those around me.

That Anna game is a decent but short game for anyone who has a 360. I wish it was BC though, I'd buy it again to own
Actually a good week for 360 games. I haven't seen the Mega Man games on sale in forever and all those Resident Evil sales are a steal, shame the original isn't on sale though.
So just to be extra clear, only 360 owners can buy those non-BC games right? Crazy to think how many millions of players they still have on the platform!
@Kilamanjaro Yep, the non-BC games only work on Xbox 360.

In which basis are the reading topics -in the real IELTS exam- chosen?? I mean, why can some topics be appeared in the exam, while others can't?
So, you won't find anything that requires specific knowledge (e.g. a passage or question that requires medical knowledge), and they avoid anything political, religious or controversial.
I want to add "Complete IELTS" series to this list because they are authentic and the best studying (not practice) books. That is my opinion.
When I try to practice by using your reading practice on your blog, I can get all answers correct. However, my scores is not that ideal when I try to do mock test online, particularly the reading part 3.
Where can I download those books you've mentioned? </s> The 4.2.12 Installer downlaods a file that is 217 Mb, not 208 as stated on the download page, and when installed, produces a broken installation that won't start and instructs the user to move it to 'Trash'. Downloaded 3 times with same result.
The inability to open the download has something to do with the certificate and signature. There's a thread on GitHub regarding Spotify.
Hold down the CTRL Key while selecting the Installation File and then choose Open.
Got past the first verification, and then had to open the program from security panel in Settings. After this, it appears to work fine.
Just downloaded a 'new' build of 4.2.12 which was substantially larger than the original installer (255Mb). This installs normally, but requires CTRL + 'Open' for the first run after installation, which most experienced users will know as quite normal for 'unsigned' software.
This 'version' also includes the ability to download and use 64-bit builds of Wine, which wasn't present in the earlier build which presumably explains the increased size of the download.
question, is there anywhere a changelog? </s> Oxford CPD is a non-profit venture delivered primarily by anaesthetic consultantsdeliberately kept prices as low as possible, and any monies raised are channelled directly back into developing the CPD days.

"Our community is excited about it," he said. "It's something new. We haven't had anything like this in our town for a long time, so we're excited to get out and start playing games on it."
"We have a lot of our skill guys back, both offensively and defensively," he said. "We feel like we've got some good experience. Hopefully that pays off for us."
"The biggest thing with Braxten is he's always been a good athlete and he's got a pretty high football IQ," Smith said. "It's been fun to see him mature mentally and turn into a leader."
"Especially early on, that's going to be our strength," he said. "We bring back seven starters on defense. There's a lot of experience there and we have some tough guys who can run. We're not going to do anything fancy — we're going to play outside in and try to keep teams contained."
"Early last year, we turned the ball over a ton," he said. "We got better as the year went on, but it almost cost us the Duchesne game — I think we turned it over five times in that game — and it did cost us the Enterprise game. When we played Enterprise, we had 450 yards of offense and they had 150, but we just turned it over too much. We really want to focus on taking care of the football."
"We want to worry about the journey and getting there," he said. "But it sure would be nice if we're playing on that last Saturday in November."


Adding to the tension between the U. S. and Russia was the failure of Geo. W. Bush to confer with Putin before deciding to place anti-ballistic missile sites in western Europe.
His failure created a doubt that can easily be recognized by Russia’s reaction to Georgia’s attempt [by force] to bring Ossetia back into its fold. It has become a game of cat and mouse with international implications
Instead of regaining its autonomous territory, Georgia is likely to lose its own independence and its connection with the West. Geo. W. Bush and John McCain have already condemned Russia for its “disproportionate” response to an invasion of a disputed homeland of a people that prefers Russian rule to that of the West.
Since life ought to be a game, it makes sense to know what you are doing and play accordingly; those who do will not increase the ante when the outcome is in doubt, or borrow excessively from future generations by playing “blind man’s bluff,” or push the envelope in the hope of a miracle, or the false belief that God is on their side.
T their own different customs are instilled.
this country..with much control from Israel, is becoming two things to the world view. Dangerous, and stupid, and those two together make it even more dangerous. Why dont we hear about how the western elite are buying governments to surround Russia. Russia has contracted while the U.S. is invading country after country. Now they want to invade Iran. THe IAEA has noted specifically that Iran is producing 3% when it take something like 98% to get dangerous. It is interesting. the U.S. can invade Iraq on lies, now people are going to let them invade Iran on the same lies. un flippin believable
Then McCain says, we dont invade countries in the 20th century. WHy did he say such a stupid thing? because he knows America is dumbed down, and owned by the corporate and elite owned media, and that he could get away with such a lie.
Here is a video of truth and how fox news shut it down completely. Notice how the aunt tells the truth, she is shut down, then after break her attitude is different. Wonder what they told her??????
Excellent Op-Ed. For President Bush and the blasted neocons to talk about the territorial integrity of Georgia is a bit ridiculous. We're not sure of what really happened. The Russians claim about 2000 Ossentian casualties because of the Georgian foray. Then there is another record of only 100. Truthout.org speculated that Georgia may have made this move on its breakaway province because of 'behind the door' assurances of support from the McCain camp. It does seem a little silly for a small country with an army of 39,000, to be twisting the tail of a much larger country with 1.1 million people in uniform. The USA cannot do anything about this, should shut its damn mouth, and let world opinion be the force to bring the Russians into line. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.


These Best Practices will ultimately transform the BHPH industry from using a reactive solution to a more proactive solution. This provides finance companies the ability to manage their portfolios by exceptions based on critical business events such as tampering, low voltage, dead battery, tow alerts, and many more. They can also receive push alerts, notifications, and scheduled reports including alarming events. This presents a major transformation in managing subprime automotive portfolios and significantly increases the control over the assets.

The head of AON says this situation did not have to be this dire and that NNPC had failed to deliver on a promise to supply jet fuel at a fixed 500 naira ($1.21) a litre.
“We nominated some marketers who have been licensed … to handle the 25,000 tons, but we are yet to get this fuel.”
The AON nearly suspended flights but U-turned on the decision on Sunday.


as i sit here in the library trying to do too much conference work on your brilliant novel bleak house in far too little time to give it adequate insight, i just want to take a moment to thank you.
p.s. i hate your fucking guts for writing a novel so long and intricate that i cannot remember and understand all of it and i am still a little angry at my don for assigning me to read it and read about it and all.

Better known as AIRPLANTS, the Tillandsias are fun to collect and care for. They are often misunderstood because people think they require no care. They are actually kind of strange and a little bit ugly, but that does not seem to bother their new plant owner!
There are over 500 different species of Tillandsia found growing wild in South and Central America, the Caribbean, and the southern US.
Opal examining the huge airplants!
The air plants don’t grow in the ground. they are known technically as “epiphytes”. They usually grow on tree branches that serve as host plants. The tillandsias do not take any nutrients or water from their host plant, and use their host only for support to grow on. They do no harm at all to their host plants.
Tillandsia  are actually perennial flowering plants in the Bromeliad family, and are closely related to pineapples. Spanish  Moss is Tillandsia Usneoides.
In the wild the plant absorb water and nutrients from the air.  The flowers can bloom all year round, and look like little blue spikes at the end of a protruding stalk, which then produce  seed capsules. The mature seeds are dispersed by the wind,  until it lands on a tree branch and begin growing, using tiny rootlike tendrils to anchor itself to the tree until the leafs can wrap around and secure it in place. If a ball is pulled apart, each piece will grow into a new air plant.
In our home the care of our Tillandsias have a few requirements.
Water– soak  your Tillandsia 1-2 times per week in a bucket; more often in a hot, dry environment; less often in a cool, humid one. Plants should be given enough light and air circulation to dry in no longer than 4 hours after watering. Spray misting is insufficient as the sole means of watering but may be beneficial between regular waterings in dry climates to increase the humidity. If the plant is in a shell, be sure to empty the water out. Tillandsias will not survive in standing water. Do not keep plants constantly wet or moist.
Light– should be bright but filtered (April – October). They should not be left in the direct sun in the summer months (this will cause the plant to become sunburned ). Tillandsias love direct sun (November – March). Tillandsias may be grown in the house directly in front of a window. Fresh moving air is advisable, but remember, the most important care need is bright filtered light.
Fertilize – use fertilizer (17-8-22) twice a month. It is GREAT for blooming and reproduction! Any water-soluble fertilizers can be used at 1/4 strength (Dr. Earth, Miracle-Grow, etc.)
Temperature – Optimum temperature range for tillandsias is 50 – 90 degrees F.
Display and mounting – Mount plants on almost anything, – Driftwood, manzanita, seashells, coral, lava rock, crystals using a non – water soluble glue. Set plants on the prospective mount. If you like the arrangement, proceed. Place adhesive on mount, and then place plants onto that area. Larger plants may be supported with fishing line until glue dries. Cover exposed adhesive area with sawdust, moss or sand to camouflage. Tillandsias will live happily suspended on a wire. In a terrarium, be sure one end is left open, they need air circulation.

Was there a need for a prequel to Monsters, Inc., a film I consider to be one of Pixar’s weakest efforts? Crass commercialism likely played a large role in the decision to greenlight the film, but Pixar does its absolute best to create something fresh and engaging for the audience unlike the uncharacteristically bad Cars 2.
Choosing to go back in time instead of forward, Monsters University follows our favorite heroes from Monsters, Inc. as they take on university life in an effort to begin careers as scarers. Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) is a hyper-intelligent, cuddly, one-eyed green monster who views a career as a scarer as the ultimate equalizer, an opportunity to all the kids who picked on him that he could be one of the all-time great career men. James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman) is a legacy student who feels entitled to an easy education because of his father’s notability. He’s terrific at outright frightening, but lacks the interest and ability to step beyond his one-trick scares.
The veonmous and terrifying head of the scare department, Dean Hardscrabble (Helen Mirren) believes she can recognize talent in any monster. In Mike and Sulley, she sees no such career and after a series of blunders by both, she expels them from the program. Challening Hardscrabble’s authority, Mike concocts a brilliant plan to get himself back into the program by participating in the annual Scare Games, a Greek-based competition that pits fraternities and sororities against one another in an attempt to be named the top scarers at Monsters U.
Forced to inject himself into the friendly, harmless frat Oozma Kappa (OK), Mike and Sulley continue their personal rivalry in the face of mountin odds against them in the game, forcing them to improve their fellow brothers and develop team-based skills together or face abject failure and ejection from University entire.
Crystal and Goodman fall nicely back into characters that have been etched into Pixar’s storied history, but it’s the new voiceover talents that really make the film soar. Sean Hayes, Dave Foley, Charlie Day, Joel Murray and Peter Sohn voice the four monsters (Hayes and Foley pair up as the two-headed monsters Terri and Terry) that comprise the OK fraternity. Their individuality adds spice to slight stereotypes, who then emerge as deeper characters as the film progresses. However, it’s Mirren who steals the show as Hardscrabble, a legendary scarer herself. Mirren’s disturbing, yet passionate performance adds something that the original Monsters, Inc. lacked even with the terrific Steve Buscemi (who makes a prominent return here) working on that film.
Pixar’s realm of gorgeous visuals expands with this near-perfect design execution. The minimalist corporate environment on display in its predecessor is enhanced and embellished in ways not easily imagined twelve years ago. They bring a crisp detail to even the smallest scenes. They create a depth to the environment that 3D would likely bring out much like the beautiful rendering of Up. The only quibble I have is that crowd scenes are too spread out. To showcase all of the wacky critters Pixar’s animators came up with, they give unnatural spacing to their crowds. You can see each monster without problem and that, in itself is a problem. Crowds cluster and blur, making things seem less detailed than they could be. This minor issue doesn’t distract too much, however.
Trying to wring new content out of a familiar story is a challenge. With Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3, the general gist of the original film is still present, enabling the audience to continue their previously formed familiarity with the predecessor and still develop new attachments with the subsequent film. Cars 2 tried a brand new story plopping old characters (and not all of them) into a completely new and tonally different husk. The result was an uneven mess that became tedious relatively quickly in the proceedings. While Monsters University struggles to establish its own rhythm, the film eventually progresses to a point where the familiar is replaced with freshness and what came before merely influences the prequel. The story isn’t a rehash of the original, but resembles it enough to keep the audience engaged with minimal exposition. And while we know what ultimately happened with Mike and Sulley, the Scare Games finale and subsequent scenes twist our expectations and surprise us when we didn’t expect we could be.
Monsters University doesn’t feel necessary. The original film, one of the weaker in Pixar’s canon, didn’t cry out for sequelizing, but when parent company Disney wants to increase its merchandising revenue, Pixar is nearly powerless to stop it. They can merely try to accomplish something new and different without betraying their vision of animation as a constantly re-inventing medium. Cars 2 exemplifies Disney’s stranglehold on repetitive redesign, showing audiences that they care less about the end product than they do about how much money it can make them. And after the recent announcements that Finding Nemo and The Incredibles had sequels in development, those of us who were worried about the Disney influence when it purchased Pixar had cause to cringe.
This prequel cleans some of the bad taste left by these plaguing issues, but not enough to keep us from continuing to worry. The recent decision by Pixar to minimize the sequelizing gives us renewed hope, but it remains to be seen if Brave will mark the new normative for Pixar’s originality or if movies like Up and Ratatouille can again be made.
Monsters University has some genuine frightes, which might make younger viewers uncomfortable, but the film as a whole is a lively, friendly tale that will entertain kids and adults alike and maybe, just maybe the light praise the film is getting will help Pixar understand how to avoid becoming too much lik sequel-heavy DreamWorks or worse the abysmally controlled output from Fox Animation’s subsidiary Blue Sky Studios. Thankfully they haven’t plunged that far even if Cars 2 was cause for concern, and DreamWorks is doing well enough that even slight improvement over much of their film slate will still be pretty darned good.


C The simplest all-wire flight can be built for as little as $10 (US), and larger, "fancier" furniture-like enclosures can be put together in as little as one daylly-made enclosures. Building your own flight or aviary can be a fun and exciting project for just about anyone with a little extra time to dedicate to it.
This section of FinchInfo.com will cover a few basic designs and ideas for building free-standing flight cages and aviaries. (If you are looking to build a more "permanent" structure [where concrete needs to be poured and/or a shack-like enclosure is to be built onto the structure], you should look for how-to books in online bookstores, at local bookstores, or at your local library.) Be aware that some projects of this nature may require you to comply with certain regulations or to obtain a permit before building a structure, so check with your local Building and Zoning Department to see if your enclosure will meet building code.
Before building any type of enclosure, you need to find a good location for it. Consider the positioning of the flight or aviary in regards to the flow of traffic (placing it in a quiet, low-traffic environment is best and least stressful), and sources of electric outlets and water (they should be nearby if possible).  Indoor enclosures require adequate air flow (good air circulation is necessary for providing fresh air and preventing illness), more frequent cleaning, and full spectrum lighting which mimics natural sunlight5 (see Ideal Lighting, Temperature, and Humidity). Outdoor enclosures require protection from the elements (weather/temperature extremes/too much sun/rain/wind/etc.), adequate drainage (to prevent damp floors which can promote the outbreak of disease), and the avoidance of pests (such as insects and free-ranging birds) and predators5. You must also consider the size of the enclosure and how many birds it will comfortably house. Enclosures should be built so that they are longer that they are tall or wide.5es, so use this formula to help you determine how large you should build your flight or aviary to accommodate the number of birds you would like to keep in it. Avoid overcrowding the birds and make sure enclosures are constructed to be easy-to-clean with minimal disturbance to the birds during cleaning. Additionally, try to limit the birds' access to their own droppings and be careful to create cage doors which allow for easy access yet discourage birds' escape. Always try to build the largest cage you can accommodate and afford.
I purchase most of my building materials from local. Some sources of wire and other building materials can be found in the Links section of the site. Be very careful to use only safe, nontoxic building materials. Do not use: screen, cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated wood, and do not use brass (corrodes), copper (corrodes), zinc, or lead in any material that may be consumed (lead is found in solder, lead-based paints [varnishes and lacquers], lead-free paints with leaded drying agents, hardware cloth, galvanized wire, plaster).5,6 Galvanized hardware cloth may be used as wire, but it must first be scrubbed with vinegar and a wire brush, then immediately rinsed to prevent possible lead and zinc poisoning.5 Avoid using furniture polish, formaldehyde, metal polish, pesticides or other chemicals on the enclosure.5 Safe building materials include: exterior grade plywood, industrial-grade epoxy paint, wire galvanized after welding if it has first been scrubbed with vinegar and rinsed thoroughly,5 water-based polyurethane, and nontoxic Elmer's glue. If you can find it, I highly recommend using PVC powder coated ("plastic-coated") galvanized wire as it is easier to clean and comes in a variety of colors. I have also found black, all-plastic "hardware netting" at Home Depot which is easy to clean, very easy to cut (does not require wire cutters, only a standard pair of scissors), but unfortunately cannot be used outdoors since rodents and other predators can easily break it, etc. Whatever the variety, wire spacing should be no smaller than ¼" and no larger than ½" between bars--do not use screen since birds' nails get caught in it easily and this can cause injury and even death.
No power tools required; very quick & easy to make, but limited to a smaller size and indoor use; functional but not very pretty.
Power tools required; best suited for an aesthetically-pleasing indoor enclosure; looks like a commercially-made structure.

Become a Fan (37 fans)	- Advertisement - "Where the little river Liris runs into the Gulf of Gaeta, seventy miles south of Rome, may be placed the natural boundary between central and southern Italy." So begins "Greek Cities in Italy and Sicily," a beautiful, 224-page book published in 1931. This year puts the book pretty much squarely in the middle of the period written about by Paul Fussell in Abroad, a highly original and informative study of English literary travelogues written between the world wars, and the minor key of Greek Cities is indeed the travelogue. The absence of David Randall-MacIver from Abroad suggests that he was both too academic and too little literary to be included in Mr. Fussell's book, which makes sense to me, and it makes Greek Cities even more extraordinary to my mind. The major key of Greek Cities is a description of Greek architectural sites in southern Italy and Sicily in 1931, with narratives about the cities where the sites are found including the cities' mythologies and most famous citizens, visitors and political figures. The book's history, then, spans the period from about the eighth century B.C. to about the third century B.C., when Rome commenced to expel Carthage permanently from Sicily, in the Punic Wars, and displace the Greek presence there. I bought the book in anticipation of taking a cruise around Persephone's isle, about which I had developed a reading interest over the last couple of years, an interest undimmed even by Dennis Mack-Smith's mind-numbing, two-volume history of Sicily from 800 A.D. to 1945. I purchased Greek Cities after realizing that the cruise -- titled "Sicily - Crossroad of Civilizations" - would put heavy emphasis on the Greek presence on the island. So I pretty much skimmed the initial eighty pages about Greek cities in southern Italy and started with Chapter VIII - "From Paola to Syracuse" - which begins in the book's minor key then modulates effortlessly into its major key, and I paraphrase from Chapter VIII's first paragraphs:
"The majority of my readers in all probability will start for Sicily from Naples. And if I may advise them I would say do not go by sea, which is perfectly uninteresting. Once out of sight of land, one piece of sea is exactly like another, and if the crossing is made at night even the sea is invisible. But the railway journey down the west coast of Calabria and the east coast of Sicily is the experience of a lifetime. There is scarcely a journey in Europe which is so beautiful and so full of historic interest at every moment....If it chance to be in the middle of February, it seems as though snow-clad trees were reflecting the rising sun (in Calabria). These are the almond trees in blossom....At Villa San Giovanni the train is ferried across the straits on a steamer, a picturesque proceeding, and more practical than the method by which Herakles once crossed these waters, swimming beside the oxen stolen from Geryones with his arm resting on one horn of the leader. It would seem a very difficult undertaking to swim the straits against the currents even if we ignored Charybdis. And yet it is on record that when Himilkon stormed Messina in 397 B.C., 200 of the city's defenders threw themselves into the waters and no less than fifty succeeded in reaching the Italian shore...." Commencing with Messina across the narrow straits at the toe of Italy's boot, Randall-MacIver follows Sicily's east coast southerly turning west where the coast does at the island's southeastern point, to touch successively at each of the following principal Greek cities: Messina, Taormina, Acireale, Catania, Lentini (inland), Syracuse, Gela-Kamarina (Terranova), Akragas (Girgenti), Selinus (Sciacca or Castelvetrano), Segesta (inland- Salemi? Calatafimi?), and Enna (inland). Not surprisingly, Randall-MacIver devotes almost as many pages to Syracuse as to the other cities combined. By far the greatest number of Greek architectural sites on Sicily are the remains of Doric temples devoted to gods, but probably the most famous remains are those of the theater at Syracuse. Paraphrasing again - "(The theater was)...probably built by Hieron I, who reigned (in Syracuse) from 478 B.C. to 467 B.C....(and it was)...certainly enlarged and restored...two hundred years later. It is one of the finest Greek buildings in the whole world..., is hewn out of the native rock, (and) measures 440 feet in maximum diameter. Originally it had sixty-one tiers of seats, divided into nine wedge-shaped blocks. At the back of the theater is the well-known "street of tombs", which leads up to a cemetery on the plateau just behind. This cemetery contains a mixture of tombs of all dates, some of them as late as the Christian period. There is no mixture, however, in the "street of tombs." The great caverns on either side of the way are all post-Hellenic; they are not Greek, still less are they Sicilian, but they belong to the period of the Roman Empire; and this fact must be emphasized, because even our best writers have been misled by an erroneous interpretation which has been current for half a century." Regarding some of the "many historic memories" of the theater at Syracuse, Randall-MacIver writes: - Advertisement - "When Aeschylus visited Syracuse we are told by an anonymous commentator that he witnessed in this theater a performance of his own Persae....Plays of Sophocles, Euripides, and many less famous dramatists were performed in this theater before distinguished visitors from Sparta, Corinth, and every part of Greece. Pindar and Plato must have sat at various times in the audience, and Theocritus almost certainly came here..."
The immortal Archimedes was born in Syracuse, and Randall-MacIver writes - "Cicero, when he visited Syracuse in 75 B.C., discovered the real tomb of Archimedes, read the inscription and pointed it out with justifiable pride to the local authorities. But its place has never been rediscovered and is probably lost forever." Other famous Greeks mentioned in the book who visited Sicily or lived there include Parmenides, Empedocles, Pythagoras, and Xenophanes. Very much on Sicily as everywhere, the Greeks were constantly at war, when not with the Carthaginians from north Africa or the Romans then with themselves. The following brief passage mentions the Sicilian Greek city of Segesta's alliance with Carthage against the Sicilian Greek city of Akragas (Girgenti) in 409 B.C., then briefly describes who bears most responsibility for the destruction of Sicily's Greek architecture. Randall-MacIver writes: "The friendship with Carthage which saved the Segestans in 409 B.C. was the cause of their ruin a hundred years later, when Agathokles, foiled in Africa, turned savagely on the philo-Carthaginians in Sicily and crushed Segesta. From the Romans, however, the Segestans received unusual favor, and...Cicero (mentions Segesta) as a place of some importance. That its temple survived when the city was devastated by the Saracens shows once again that the worst destroyers of ancient buildings were not Carthaginians, Romans, or Mohammedans. It was Christian fanatics of the first few centuries after Christ, it was the plundering kings, barons, and prelates of the Middle Ages, and their successors the money-grubbing materialho destroyed the great monuments of antiquity in Sicily and southern Italy."

After the recommendation of the health directorate, the government yesterday shut down the border with India from today amid tensions over huge surge in Covid-19 cases in the neighbouring country.
Passengers travel from India to Bangladesh via land will remain suspended from today for 14 days, said Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen.
Already, air travel between India and Bangladesh has been suspended since April 14 with the beginning of second wave of Covid-19 from the second week of March in Bangladesh.
"We are closing it [border] for passengers for the time-being, but trading will continue," he told The Daily Star yesterday.
The decision came. Top officials from the Prime Minister's Office, home ministry, Cabinet Division, health, commerce, BGB, and Bangladesh missions in India were present.
According to a foreign ministry statement, Bangladeshi citizens in India for treatment with validity visas of less than 15 days could enter Bangladesh through Benapole, Akhaura and Burimari only after taking permission from Bangladesh mi done through PCR test within 72 hours of entry.
People entering Bangladesh through this process would have to stay officially quarantined for two weeks. Except for the three land ports, all kinds of human movements through all other land ports between the two countries would completely suspended for two weeks.
The vehicles carrying goods from India would have to be properly sterilised before entering Bangladesh borders. The drivers and helpers concerned would have to follow the Covid-19 safety protocol strictly.
The Indian High Commission in Dhaka has advised the Indian nationals in Bangladesh to communicate to the mission if they need to travel to India.
"The specific process in such cases is being worked out with the Bangladesh authorities. In the meantime, however, those Indians who need to travel home to India may send tentative travel plans by email to the High Commission at |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| and cons.dhaka@mea.gov.in," the high commission said in a message.
Sources, meanwhile, said the decision over the ongoing countrywide movement restrictions that will end on Wednesday may come in today's cabinet meeting.
During this surge, the country saw the record-breaking number of deaths and infections continuously which forced the government to enforce the ongoing movement restrictions from April 5.
Since April 16, the positivity rate started going down. The rate was 13.33 percent yesterday101 people died from Covid-19 in 24 hours ending at 8:00am yesterday. The figure was 83 the previous day.
With yesterday's casualties, the total number of deaths reached 11,053 and the death rate was 1.48 percent.
In this period, 2,922 moretotal active cases to 76,817.
Due to the fresh surge of the infection, the DGHS made a set of recommendations, including not to go for complete reopening now and closure of land border with India.
Experts have also suggested closing the borders with the neighbouring country to contain the spreads.
"The variant that has spread across India is extremely deadly. It is 300 times more transmissible. Unless health safety guidelines are maintained strictly, the situation here may turn worst ... ," Prof Robed Amin, spokesperson and director of non-communicable disease control programme at the DGHS, said at a bi-weekly virtual briefing yesterday.
In Tuesday's meeting,also recommended that the borders shouldreported to be fuelling India's second wave of coronavirus cases that has made it the world's second worst Covid-hit country, surpassing Brazil.
In another development, while there was a serious reservation among the experts as well as the health department, the foreign ministry on Thursday reduced the institutionalto five days from 14 days.
The decision did not comply with the 14-day quarantine rules being imposed as per the experts' suggestion.
Health officials said the decision was not scientific at all.
During yesterday's briefing, Robed said, "We [DGHS] have been repeatedly asking for cooperation so that the Indian variant could not enter Bangladesh. Quarantine must be for 14 days."
"But the health directorate is not the only institution to ensure this; it requires the cooperation from other ministries and departments," he said, expressing concern.
He added that if the institutional quarantine for 14 days is tough to implement, they still would urge for 14 day's home quarantine.
While shops and shopping malls were opened yesterday, the government is also considering lifting restrictions on vehicular movement after April 28.
"In this situation, people have to follow strict health rules. Traders must adhere to the no mask, no service policy when selling goods," said Robed.
Mentioning that the vaccine is not the only tool to prevent Covid-19, he said, "One of the most proven ways in the world is to maintain physical distance. Thef the mask. So, we have to follow this."
Talking to The Daily Star, Prof ABM Khurshid Alam, DGHS director general, said, "We have sent our recommendations to the health ministry yesterday [Saturday]. Now it's up to the high-ups of the government to decide."
"But theo survive this surge," he added.

Tragedy: The parents of Armagan Denli claim he was wrongly diagnosed
A hospital hit by the closure of a neighbouring Accident & Emergency department is investigating allegations that delays led to the deaths of two patients.
It is claimed that a young boy and a man were both left waiting for hours at North Middlesex University Hospital’s overstretched casualty unit – and then wrongly diagnosed.
Since the controversial closure in December 2013 of the A&E department at Chase Farm Hospital, three-and-a-half miles away, the North Middlesex has struggled to cope with extra demand.
In April, three-year-old Armagan Denli died after being rushed to North Middlesex. He had a stiff neck, a high temperature and rashes had started to appear on his legs, arms and torso, according to his parents Fatma and Yucel.
They claim their son was not seen by a doctor for nearly three hours. When they were seen, they were then told he probably had chickenpox and were sent home.
Five hours later, as Armagan’s condition deteriorated, he was taken back to the hospital by ambulance. But doctors could not save him and he died of meningitis on April 18.

'Advice' that cost £33million: NHS bosses lavished extraordinary amounts of money on consultants - to help them work out how to shut A&E departments and convince the the public it was a good idea
NHS has lavished more than £12.5million on the McKinsey consultancy, owned by Dominic Barton
By Martyn Halle
NHS bosses have spent £33 million on management consultants in the past two years – to help them fine-tune plans to close A&E departments and then sell the idea to the public.
They latancy in the two years to April 2015 – including £10 million last year – and £9.4 million on PA Consulting.
The remainder was spent on an array of other business and media consultants, including £301,000 on advertising agency M&C Saatchi, and £537,000 on public relations.
The money was spent on the Shaping A Healthier Future programme, which advocated the closure of four out of nine A&E departments in North- West London.
A Shaping A Healthier Future spokeswoman said: ‘We are undertaking large scale improvements for our two million residents, including increasing access to primary care.’


Housing Needs Your Help
We have struggled to provide supportive case management to 89 formerly homeless households since the State budget impasse began on July 1, 2015. More info can be found here.
We began the year with five dedicated social workers providing services to these families, and we have had to lay all five off over the last 11 months because the State of Illinois has not paid us close to $120,000 for the services we were contracted to provide.
Hoping to maintain some level of service, we asked two Masters of Social Work interns to continue working with these households over the last two months. Those interns left us last week as their term ended.
We now have one AVODAH volunteer who will attempt to work with households in immediate emergencies until her year of service ends on August 4. After that date, we have no further back-up plans to be able to provide services to these 89 families.
Without your support, we will be cutting all services on August 5 to all of these households, including 29 single mothers and 85 children. This will likely mean that many families will become homeless again over the next year, and that many of these Homeless Dedicated Units (HDU) will be lost to the city as landlords move away from the unfunded program.
Our last chance to preserve this program is to raise $40,000 to cover salary and fringe benefits for a full-time case manager to continue providing services during fiscal year 2017 by mid-July at the latest. This will enable us to weather the storm of the ongoing budget stalemate and preserve housing for these families.

Woah. Beato sighting! Didn’t even realize he was still in baseball. He was a fairly well-regarded prospect about ten years ago.
I disagree. This is a Florimon sighting.
That’s what garbage teams do this time of year.
Phillies have a ton of Rule V eligibles and are trying to preserve spots, taking Kingery off the table.
The only other options were Hector Gomez and Angelo Mora–check out their numbers– they’re awful.
Galvis is a great shortstop, at 26 hes proven a lot, he replaced jimmy Rollins fairley well, Phillies fans are delusional if they think Crawfords performance deserves a call up, As for Kingery its a different story, he should have been up 2 months ago
Unfortunately its all about Rule V protection. Kingery isn’t eligible for the draft yet so they dont want to take a roster spot away from someone who they would like to keep. In the long run its the best call. Kingery will be up early next season. I’d predict May or June
Hit post before I finished but you get the idea. His drafts have been poor and his FA signings questionable. He will later remark that this job was his “mulligan” just like Francona did when he took the Red Sox job after stinking with the Phillies.
“FA signings questionable”
Questionable? $56 million for Pat Neshek, Jeremy Hellickson, Howie Kendrick, Clay Buchholz, Michael Saunders.
And remember as recently as last July Saunders was a qualifying offer candidate. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t have taken that relatively inexpensive gamble- 1-year deal with a rather modest guarantee.
It’s a rebuild- Stop complaining about the Phillies being bad- we have the third best farm system in the league and remember just a few years ago the Astros and Cubs were abominations-
“That $56 million got us 5 prospects ”
I wrote “WHO?”, you wrote: “5 prospects ”
One of them had the surname of a famous rap star from two decades ago (or more). Never heard of them. No one at Baseball America recognized their names. Not one of them could have sniffed the bottom of a Top ___300___ prospect list.
GARBAGE for $56 million.
John Middleton claims to care about homeless Americans. The salaries of MacPhail/Klentak could have housed dozens of homeless Americans in luxury one bedroom apartments for several years each.
I don’t get the hate for Klentak-
First of all, I view it as McPhail and Klentak. I personally think Andy has more influence than many believe.
I just look at the deals post June ’15 conpared to pre-June ’15. Other than the Rollins and Byrd deals, Amaro hadn’t done much for the rebuild in years. Literally a month after McPhail took office, the Phillies had a top-10 system and have improved on that status ever since. If you look at the Phillies trade history since June of 2015, there are no losses. Buccholz and Morton were both washes, but every other salary dump veteran acquisition has turned into prospects, Giles got us Velazquez back who still has high upside
Also look at the under the radar pick-ups
Odubel Herrera, Daniel Nava, Jerad Eickhoff, Andres Blanco
I have a lot of faith in the current front office
You dont get the Klentak hate ? Have you been awake ? Buchholz ring a bell ? Klentak is the GM, NO PLAYERS are here if he didnt want them
Incompetence of an unforgivable nature.
They’re minimizing risk of injuring their young players while it doesn’t matter by acquiring vets who soak up innings and have potential to be flipped at the deadline.
It’s a proven method that has worked for countless other organizations and it is being executed perfectly. 2 first overall picks in 3 years- please explain to be how this rebuild is incompetent when Aaron Nola has been an absolute stud, Herrera has quietly rebounded from a rough May and is mashing again, Alfaro, Williams and Altherr all look like the real deal, the front office managed to trade four veterans, three of whom were either hurt or awful and take a look at Sixto Sanchez.
Missing baseball. Sure wish we had a team in Philadelphia. Maybe someday someone who has Philadelphia pride will bring us a competitive and interesting team. Sure sad to see it gone.
Typical phillies stupidity anymore
Its really not fair that the Phillies get to employ and use a Digimon to play shortstop.
Florimon isn’t the most talented but he’s a good extra guy to have around. Great in the field, very fast and smart base runner, and he is an always hustling kind of guy. He actually had a couple of very key hits for the Pirates over the last couple of years too.
Florimon is auditioning to be Blanco’s replacement.
Any clear cut number 1 pick should they hold off the Sox


“That’s the Legislative process,” he said of the shortfall, adding that he was pleased with extra funding to districts that can be used for salaries. “We’re in the bottom third (for teacher pay), we’ve got to do better than that as a state. …This is one down payment but I think we’re going to be dealing with this issue again.”

The market welcomed a very busy first week of October, with the widely-followed US Non-Farm Payroll data highlighting the week with renewed hope for the global economy.
The week was news-packed as expected. Aside from the regular economic data releases, several central banks made rate announcements and policy statements. Australia's RBA slashed its cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent, while BOJ, BOE, and ECB kept their rates steady at 0.10 percent, 0.50 percent, and 0.75 percent, respectively. BOJ cut their economic assessment and announced nothing new in terms of monetary policy. In a press conference following the ECB rate decision, Mario Draghi reassured the market on Thursday that the ECB is prepared to purchase bonds of troubled Eurozone nations once necessary conditions are met.
The week ended with a surprising drop in the September US unemployment rate, falling below the 8 percent mark for the first time since February 2009. US jobless rate declined to 7.8 percent, while 114,000 jobs were reportedly added in the labor market.
Meanwhile, neighboring Canada's September employment data reportedly increased more than five times that of expectations. According to Statistics Canada’s labor force increased by 52,100 in September, following a decent gain of 34,300 last August.
Market developments on Thursday and Friday dominated the bond and stock markets this week. German bonds and Spanish 10-year yields fell on Draghi's comments. Canadian government bonds slid for the first time in three weeks,. Asia, Europe, and the US stock markets all posted decent gains.
Meanwhile, the 50-stock gauge Nifty index in India made a surprising 16 percent drop in just eight seconds on Friday trading. The National Stock Exchange of India said the brokerage firm Emkay Financial Services mishandled orders which led to the substantial but fleeting drop in the index. Trading in the Nifty was halted for 15 minutes, whilethey will investigate the stock drop. "I am assured that there is no systemic risk," he told reporters.
For commodities, gold and silver reached their highest since November and March, respectively. Gold inched close to $1,800 on views that the stimulus measure from Japan, Europe, and US will continue to spark the interest in the yellow metal.
Currencies were generally quiet for the first half of the week. EURUSD made most of its move on Thursday and Friday, gaining 263 pips and ending near the high of the week. In contrast, AUDUSD ended the week 180 pips lower, while GBPUSD was nearly unchanged.
The much-better-than-expected employment data out of Canada on Friday spurred a rare 60-pip drop in USDCAD in one hour. Other CAD crosses followed with much bigger moves. Given the economic disparity between US and Canada, USDCAD is poised to dive even further. A break of 0.9600 will increase likelihood of price heading towards the 0.9400 lows reached in mid-2011. USDCAD closed around 60 pips below its weekly open at 0.9783.
The market will have another busy week ahead, with particular focus on data such as Japan’s Current Account report to be released on Monday; US 10-year bond auction and Beige Book on Wednesday; Australia employment data, Canada Trade Balance, US Trade Balance and Unemployment Claims on Thursday; and USHigh-level talks also dot the entire week, including speeches from ECB's Draghi, SNB Chairman Jordan, BOJ's Shirakawa, US FOMC Members Tarullo, Yellen, Stein, and Lacker; as well as Eurogroup meetings on Monday, ECOFIN meetings on Tuesday, G7 meetings on Wednesday, and the IMF 3-day meeting starting on Thursday.


Home » Construction & Building » Smart heating solutions for the winter months.
With winter around the corner, many are already starting to look forward to the days when they do not have to constantly be scorched by the unforgiving Australian sun. this can be an extremely welcome time, mostly. However, there are moments when we find ourselves missing the bright, warm sunny days. In particular, it can be extremely difficult to handle the winters when we are indoors. Winters can be chilly and dry and dull and can really put a hamper on our moods. This can be much more annoying when we are at home and constantly have to be huddled up under blankets and wearing several layers to keep ourselves warm. If you find yourself in such a predicament, getting hydronic heating solutions can be your best bet. An extremely energy efficient method, hydronic heating can help you recreate summer right inside your home, no matter how frosty it is outside. Read down below to find out not just what hydronic heating solutions are, but how they can be the best choice for your homes heating needs.
Hydronic heating is also known as radiant heating, and it uses a closed loop system. This system can provide warmth and comfort to your home by circulating hot water through loops of radiators and pipework in the ceilings and floors. Gas boilers are used to heat the water, and this can make this heating system extremely energy efficient. This heating system can be used to heat up practically anything – from towel rails to swimming pools and even floors, you can have your whole home as toasty as you want it to be. Once the water has been circulated throughout the house and has lost its warmth, it is returned to the heating chamber to be reheated and recirculated. Panel radiators situated in all rooms ensure that heat is distributed evenly, so that our whole home is equally warm.
The way that traditional heating systems work means that at times there are areas of the same room that can be warm, while others can be much colder. This phenomenon is called air stratification, and it occurs because traditional heating solutions deliver heat from the ceiling. Hot air is much lighter than cold air, and it collects at the top, towards the ceiling whereas cold air sinks and collects on the floors which remain cool. With hydronic heating installation in Melbourne, however, heating is delivered from both the floors and the ceilings which ensures that the air in any room is of the same temperature. This can mean that our floors will also be warm, and we do not have to freeze our feet whenever we are walking.
Hydronic floor heating installers will ensure that your heating solution is as aesthetic as possible. This means that everything is located as discreetly as possible, with hidden thermostats and switches to keep the look as minimalistic as possible. In addition to this, there are no wall mounted units, grills or outdoor plants and no noise at all, and there are no ventilation systems taking up all the space on your walls. In addition, hydronic heating systems are extremely efficient, and can be up to 50% more efficient than the traditional heating systems that we have in place. This can allow us to save on electricity and gas bills as the heat we are provided from hydronic systems is extremely long lasting. We can also choose to selectively warm the rooms that are occupied, which can allow us to make further savings.
When picking a heating solution for your home, know that hydronic heating can be the most efficient and aesthetic, as well as environment friendly. At Hydronics by Deux, you can find the best hydronic heating installers who can help you keep your home warm and comforting even in peak winter. They range that can suit any of your heating needs. Whether it’s your home that needs to be warmed up, or your office, they can do it all. In addition to this, their systems are extremely safe and can be operated by even your children.

Provoking prosecutorial oversight
5 Replies	Slate has published an interview with Fordham Law professor John Pfaff (Twitter) that is both very good and very bad. I suspect they contacted him because of his post at PrawfsBlawg (guys, it’s been, like, 10 years. Can we change that name now? Seriously please?) in which he thinks about prosecutors.
Thinking about prosecutors is a very good thing – we here at APD do it often – and it seems that John Pfaff recognizes that thinking about prosecutors is an important thing and he seems to do it often and do it well:
The second question concerns a recent change in prosecutorial behavior that has had a profound impact on punishm (and one I have raised in earlier posts as well). Since the early 1990s, prison populations have continued to soar even as crime rates steadily dropped. Why? Well, before asking “why,” we need to ask “who”—whose actions are most responsible for the change.
The change has been dramatic: over the course of the 1990s and 2000s, the probably that an arrest resulted in a felony case soared, from about 1-in-3 to 2-in-3, and this appears to be the primary engine of prison growth during the crime decline. Thus the story of post-crime decline prison growth is a story of increased prosecutorial aggressiveness.
This is, of course, not a novel idea: it stands to reason that if prosecutors are overzealous and heavy-handed and throw around their power, they will charge greater numbers of people with more serious crimes and use the threat of incarceration to get potentially innocent people to plead to lesser offenses and thus boost prison populations, despite actual crime dropping.
“A pound of flesh” isn’t a phrase thrown about in criminal justice circles because the participants are avid meat eaters.
The Slate interview with Pfaff is a good thing, however, because it highlights the problem with a lack of oversight of prosecutors to the lay individual1.
So what caused prosecutors to become more aggressive? Sadly, no one knows. I thus want to start talking through some of the possibilities, such as other political incentives, changing budgets, improved policing, tougher sentencing laws (which do not necessarily result in longer sentences, but may facilitate plea bargains), etc. Any real reform of criminal justice outcomes in the US will require some change in prosecutorial behavior.
But that’s a tricky thing to accomplish. Not only do we not really understand what motivates or shapes prosecutorial outcomes, but DAs are very hard to regulate: directly elected at local levels, generally unchallenged and politically popular. Any effort to modify prosecutorial behavior will thus likely have to operate indirectly and by persuasion, which of course requires us to know what is persuasive.
There is, as far as I’m aware, no oversight of prosecutors anywhere. Grievances are rarely filed, if ever. There are no boards who review the performance of prosecutors and internal investigations are pro-forma if they are ever performed.2 Even those who are found by courts to have engaged in unethical behavior are rarely punished and not only continue to keep their jobs, but also get promoted and become judges.
The greater the awareness of this issue and the greater public interest we can generate, the better it is for everyone.
But let’s not call prosecutorial oversight “provocative” shall we? What’s so provocative about suggesting that prosecutors are sending more people to jail and thus our prison populations are increasing across the country?3
This is why this piece is very bad. It sets up Pfaff’s theory as some sort of ground-breaking, dangerous, novel idea. It reveals another pet subject of ours here at APD and that is the complete and abject genuflection that the media engages in at the altar of law enforcement.
Most media representations of the justice system are from an solidly “law and order” position: all crime is bad, all criminals are bad, whatever police say is true and every person deserves the punishment they get.
When that is the underlying theme of every story written about the justice system, it isn’t hard to see why an idea that questions the righteousness of those on the “law and order” side of the justice equation would be treated as “provocative”.
I have never understood why the media isn’t more skeptical. They are clearly so when it comes to other forms of governmental power and abuse: the military, state secrets, who’s making how much and which contract was given to which relative. So why do the police and prosecutors get a “can-do-no-wrong” pass? Why are press releases from the police blotter routinely printed verbatim? Why isn’t it equally normal to wonder if the accused in a particular case was given a just sentence or whether the prosecutor really needed to purse a more serious charge when a lesser one would have sufficed?
If judges, defense lawyers, grievance committees, legislators and the media won’t challenge the authority of prosecutors and demand oversight, then who’s left? That’s right: prosecutor, ethics, judges, media, proposed legislation, prosecutors on February 9, 2015 by Gideon.
4 Replies	1, a right to a fair trial2 and a right to a trial by an impartial jury3.
The core value of this right to a public trial is:

This Constitutional lesson is currently being enacted for the American public in Boston, where Dzokhar Tsarnaev is being tried in a capital case for the Boston Marathon bombings.
That there is immense pretrial publicity in this case is undeniable. The Boston bombing was the top MA story of 2014. This has already prompted Tsarnaev’s lawyers to file three motions for change of venue. [Update] The first two were rejected All three have now been rejected [PDF] as was a subsequent Writ of Mandamus filed in the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals [pdf] which that court denied [PDF].9 This is because courts like to think that jury selection can weed out the partial jurors and uncover those hidden gems who can profess to be impartial. In fact, it’s one of the minimization mechanisms required as an alternative to a change of venue.10
