Dark Chocolate Basket

Dark Chocolate Basket

Create the perfect centerpiece for that special dessert buffet.

1:10 prep time
1 basket
000 Ratings

16 to 20 ounces high quality semi-sweet real chocolate, melted, cooled (but not set)

Chocolate-dipped fruit
Chocolate-dipped nuts
Chocolate-dipped cookies

Wrap outside of 1 to 1 1/2-quart souffle dish or other flat-bottomed dish with heavy-duty aluminum foil covering bottom and sides. Press aluminum foil firmly and smoothly over dish, leaving 1 to 2-inch edge around base (top of dish). Crimp edge away from bowl. Set covered dish on baking sheet with bottom (covered with aluminum foil) up.

Fit pastry bag with #10 writing tip; fill with melted, cooled chocolate. Starting in center bottom of covered dish (this will be the bottom of the basket) pipe radiating lines, about 1/2 inch apart, over bottom and down sides of dish. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until chocolate is firm.

Pipe pinwheel circles around bottom of dish on top of first chocolate lines. Pipe horizontal lines (circles), about 1/2 inch apart, around sides of dish, forming a woven appearance and ending just above aluminum foil, but not touching 1 to 2-inch edge. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm.

Pipe third layer of chocolate over first layer of chocolate (radiating lines). Refrigerate 30 minutes or until chocolate is very firm.

Remove basket from refrigerator; trim any excess chocolate from edge of basket with sharp knife. Carefully lift aluminum foil and chocolate basket from dish. Place basket right-side up on parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet; gently remove aluminum foil, handling chocolate basket as little as possible.

Decoratively pipe chocolate edging around top edge of basket. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm.

To make handle for basket (optional), line large baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Measure diameter (width) of dish; draw straight line on parchment paper equal to diameter of dish. Connect ends of line with arch (arch will be pattern for handle). Pipe chocolate in zigzag pattern over arch shape. Pipe a second zigzag layer of chocolate over arch, creating woven effect. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm. Carefully peel parchment paper from handle; place handle flat-side up on parchment paper. Repeat zigzag layers of chocolate as for first side of handle. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until firm.

To assemble basket, remove handle from parchment paper. Attach handle to basket with dollops of melted chocolate. Gently support handle until chocolate is set and handle is stable. Additional melted chocolate can be spread around base of handle. Refrigerate 30 minutes until firm.

To serve, fill with chocolate-dipped fruit, nuts or cookies.

TIP: To store chocolate basket, place in large bowl. Cover; refrigerate.

AVOID If You Have Natural Breasts Above a B-cup I'm a solid size 24 all around. This nightie looks adorable in the pic, so I ordered it. I was so disappointed when I tried it on. Let me 'splain... this is basically a cute pink half-slip that has triangles sewn on the front. there is no fabric or support of any kind for the side boob or the back, so the girls are just hanging there along with side boob, side fat, back fat. There is NO hiding any imperfection, perceived or otherwise. It has to go back. *sigh* Maybe next time... July 11, 2013
I luv this baby doll! OMG I really luv this babydoll! It fits great, looks great and is comfy! I wish it had underwire but that's OK. There should more pink babydolls here... Seems like there used to be. Anyway, I wear this around all the time. It is FAB! April 17, 2013

Beautiful shoe! I love the style of these shoes and they look great! I wear a 10W and I have large ankles. The first time I wore these I got many compliments, but I also got sores. The shoe zips all the way up the back, and each time I took a step it would hurt. I didn't realize the top of the shoe was actually rubbing my skin so much that it gave me sores on the back of both feet. I will continue to wear them on work days that I don't expect to walk much and I hope they will give a little. September 23, 2014
Super Cute Shoe but not if your ankles swell like I was really excited when I saw this shoe. My ankles swell really badly and the thought that this shoe has an elastic band as strap sounded great. the only problem is that once my ankle started to swell it was all below the strap making the top of foot seem bloated. I hate that this happened. I really do love the kitten heel but me & the strap can not be friends. :( September 8, 2014
very stylish September 8, 2014
Great Shoe I love the look of this shoe. The only problem I have is the elastic band is a little tight around my ankle. I hope it stretches a bit then the shoe would be super! September 4, 2014

Nice, busy, but nice I got the floral print / purple, and for some reason the print looks way better on the model then on me! I make it look cheap - how sad!! Otherwise it is just as I expected for fit, quality, etc. October 23, 2012
Best camies ever... I own at least 10 of these camies in plain and prints. They are the best. When you need length to hide some of the flaws, this is the cami to buy. It is just the right length and with adjustable straps, it can be made shorter. I love the new prints this season. I'll be buying more for sure. LB, don't ever stop production of these. Perfect! May 5, 2012
Really Cute I own a couple of these but in the darker colors. I love the lace at the bottom because it looks pretty hanging out from things I layer it with. The item I bought this time I thought was black and white but it was Navy and Cream. Looks cute with jeans though. I want want more of the lighter summer colors but they are out in my size. But I love it! April 14, 2012
Perfect Layering Staple! I bought these in the Black Floral and the Vivid Blue Floral and I wear them with shrugs, cardigans, jeans, skirts, capris, etc. These are the best cami's I have ever bought and worn! The quality of these are superb, they are the perfect length, soft material, and the most awesome things about these are that they are fully lined! LB needs to always have these in a multitude of colors. March 29, 2012

dream jacket Lovely shape on this jacket. The stretchy fabric is divine... Sometimes I have to size up to fit the girls but a 22 fit my 46 DDDs just fine. It makes me happy that I will not have to take it to the tailor to make the rest of it fit :) Where are the pants the other reviewer spoke of? I would buy those as well, but don't see them on-line. July 23, 2013
Best $ spent in a while I bought the jacket and matching pants for job interviews. After wearing to the first two interviews, I wish it came in other colors! It was comfortable and not too heavy for a jacket. Great lines and great color! February 25, 2013
Love it! Stylish, true to size, versatile, business casual but can be dressed up or down. Comfy and nice color. Light weight and can be worn with many types of tops. February 1, 2013

MCSE NT Workstation 4 Exam Cram

NT Workstation 4 Exam Cram

By Ed Tittel, Kurt Hudson
& J. Michael Stewart.
Published: October, 1997

The First and Last Book You'll Need to Read Before You Take the Certification Exam for NT Workstation 4!

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4 has caused many companies to change their desktops to this powerful network client with enhanced security features. This move has created a need for training to help users make the transition without losing any productivity. Microsoft has created the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) program in an effort to train and certify professionals.

Certification Insider Press' MCSE NT Workstation 4 Exam Cram helps networking professionals gain the knowledge that directly applies to the NT Workstation test. The key technical topics are Windows NT installation and automated installations, Windows NT boot process, advanced configuration settings, security and user administration, configuring workstations, printing, utilizing Microsoft and non-Microsoft network resources, and remote support (including RAS).

Key Features

Serves as a complement to study guides for the Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Exam (Exam #70-073).

Includes sections on proven test-taking strategies, warnings on trick questions, time-saving study tips, multiple-part question strategies, and shortcuts.

Features unique editorial content that serves as an ideal complement to all of the other test study guides and training materials available.

Provides practice exam questions arranged in a similar format to the ones found on the actual exam.

Provides all of the necessary overviews, concepts, and Microsoft networking terminology to help potential test takers get up to speed as quickly as possible.

Includes resource sections at the end of each chapter to help the reader make use of the best study aids available.

Provides a special Cram Sheet with tips, acronyms, and memory joggers that readers can take with them to the exam.

Guarantees long shelf life because tests for future versions are not made available until roughly 90-120 days after the release of the software.

The Microsoft Certified Professional Program (MCP), started in 1992, has reached the 100,000 mark. Nearly 65,000 individuals received certification in the last 12 months. The largest certification program, Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), saw industry growth of over 250% last year. Microsoft's training partners train more than one million IT professionals and two million business professionals per year on Microsoft technology.

Friday morning headlines

Stocks head lower: No carryover from yesterday's gains. Dow is down about 20 points.

GM shares are down: Stock is now trading at $33.83; offering price was $33.

Fewer mortgages delinquencies: It's the lowest level since the beginning of 2009 - 13.5 percent of households were behind on their mortgage payments in the third quarter, from 14.4 percent during the previous three months. (NYT)

California gets stung in bond market: The state had to boost interest rates in order to attract investors to its $10 billion debt offering. The higher yields will cost taxpayers $14 million more in interest expense than had been hoped. (LAT)

California stays deep blue: State voters are very reluctant to side with a Republican candidate, according to an LAT/USC poll.

California voters surveyed in the poll repudiated the party's stance on illegal immigration by endorsing a host of positions intended to make it easier for the undocumented to gain legal status. Their support for same-sex marriage outnumbered that opposing any legal recognition by more than 3 to 1. Californians also endorsed an assertive role for government in protecting minority citizens, regulating corporations and helping the poor and needy, and rejected arguments that an activist role for government had harmed the fiber of American society.

Redistricting panel selected: Regular folks instead of political insiders will now be responsible for drawing up political districts. From the Sacramento Bee:

A majority of the commissioners selected Thursday - five of eight - are women. Four are Asian American, two are white, one is African American and another is Hispanic or Latino. Only one commissioner has an income above $250,000 per year, and only one has an income below $75,000.

Low marks for state PPOs: Most major health insurers don't do well paying claims or providing customer service, according to a survey by the Department of Insurance. From the LAT:

In the quality report card, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Health Net Inc., UnitedHealthcare and Cigna Corp. received the lowest possible ratings -- poor -- for customer service. Aetna Inc. earned a slightly better rating of fair. Most of those insurers also garnered marks of fair for the ease and speed with which members see doctors and get medical care. UnitedHealthcare earned a grade of good. No insurer received the top overall rating: excellent.

Potter madness: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" is the third-highest advance ticket-seller in Fandango's ten-year history. As of last night, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" was still number one.

Live Nation sues ex-chairman: The Bev Hills-based concert company says that Michael Cohl failed to pay $5.35 million as per the terms of an exit contract. (THR)

Google going after Groupon: Takeover talks are underway, says All Things Digital, with the price being considered well above the $2 billion to $3 billion that Yahoo had offered the online deals company. Sounds like the discussions are early.

Gas price update: An average gallon of regular in the L.A. area is $3.153 per gallon, up four cents from last week, according to the Auto Club.

Dudamel and Goode

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Last Modified:

About This Performance

Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20 has been held in such high regard that Beethoven, Brahms, Hummel, Busoni and Clara Schumann all wrote cadenzas for this D-minor masterpiece. We have the great pleasure of hearing it performed by Grammy winner Richard Goode, who recorded it as part of his highly celebrated series with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

One of the very few pieces inspired by chapters of a philosophical treatise (by Friedrich Nietzsche), Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra is best known for its glorious opening fanfare.

Wednesday, May 27, 2015

Councilwoman Jan Perry, who represents the City of Los Angeles’ Council District 9, says she was quite shocked when she picked up the Los Angeles Sentinel last week and read an article entitled “Has War on Blacks Been Declared?” She wanted the opportunity to respond to allegations made by a young man who lives within Perry’s district.

In the article, Deshaun Patrick claimed that the surge of violence surrounding LA’s Newton Division is not caused by a drug war or even gang war, but by officers of said division who are helping Hispanic criminals in that area “get rid” of African American residents.

Perry, who said she knows quite a bit about the information contained in the article, responded to questions posed by the Sentinel during a Monday morning editorial board meeting.

Sentinel: There have been allegations made that Newton officers are responding to crimes by aggressively pursuing African Americans as opposed to Latinos who may be responsible for the crimes. Do you know of the Newton Division showing favoritism towards Latinos?

Perry: Do I know that firsthand? No, I don’t know that to be the truth. What I do know is that there is active strategy in place in Newton, 77th, Southeast and Southwest to do suppression for people they may perceive to be fitting a particular profile or characteristic of those who seem to be defined by the police as being someone who is at-risk or out there, posing some sort of red flag that’ll cause the police to want to stop them, arrest them, intervene.

Sentinel: Are you aware of the ethnic makeup of the law enforcement?

Perry: Yes. You would have to look at the entire body of people on all three shifts and take a look at the senior lead officers, who’s at the different classifications. I can’t tell you hard numbers. I would say that the perception is that the force of Newton is predominately Latino, probably secondarily White, third probably African American.

Sentinel: What is the make up of the community?

Perry: In the Newton division, if you go north of Adams and east of Central, it’s predominately Latino, although if you spend enough time in the area there’s still a surprising number of African Americans. If you go through the south, I would say that it’s still kind of a mix although it’s leaning more towards Hispanic. But again it’s still fairly a mix - 60-65 percent Latino, the balance being African American.

Sentinel: When the makeup of that community was predominately African American, the police force did not reflect that. Now, the community is predominately Latino and the force does reflect that. Why?

Perry: Some of what you referenced is probably historical and I don’t have the answer to that question. I wasn’t there; I was elected in 2001. But I would say that the way things are now, having difficulty recruiting people in general, there may have been a big push in the late ‘80s and ‘90s to recruit more ethnic minorities and women. There are more African Americans in the upper levels of LAPD now then there were before. ...There has been a trajectory through the department of African Americans. Many are in the command staff now because they’ve been there for 20-25 years. But at the senior lead level, which is where people see you the most, there are not a lot of African Americans.

In the recent years since I have been elected, recruitment in general has dropped off. If you talk to people who are in recruiting in LAPD now, they are having a heck of a hard time finding people just to sign on. ...If you see a flattening out of numbers of African Americans, it could be a lot of factors. It could also be that this is now a career that is not highly sought in the same way that other public sector careers might be.

Sentinel: What solutions can you offer as to addressing the Black and Latino tensions?

Perry: The greatest thing that I can do as an elected official is expose young people and their families to experiences and information beyond their own community, and even within their own community, about the contributions and the cultural, historical...the lives of other people, basically. What is horrible to watch is young people who have great minds and a lot of energy, and are obviously looking and searching for something yet because of their lives and limitations they may have in their lives they can’t pierce that veil and get to where they want to get to. If each one of us, as elected officials, took the resources that are at our fingertips and made sure we gave them out to all these kids, it would have an enormous impact not only on them but to then they take it back to their families.

African Americans who chose to come here before the war and even after WWII for a better life—nice home, nice yard, send their children to a good school—have never left this community. They are the reason this community has survived. We need to thank them, respect the community, not diminish it or not try to erase that from our own personal history. They’ve been our foundation because these folks never really left. They may have passed on but there are still a lot of them here. They are valuable.

Support Small Toy Stores This Upcoming Small Business Saturday

small business saturday

Help support local small toy stores in your town this holiday season.

Now that Thanksgiving is officially behind us, the holiday season is here in full swing and many people all across the country are beginning to head out to their local malls and department stores to cross all of their friends and family off of their long holiday gift list.

Whether you are someone who heads out on Black Friday to find the best shopping deals among the massive crowds, you are doing all of your holiday shopping from the comfort of your couch on Cyber Monday, or you are a last minute shopper that waits until the day before Christmas to buy your gifts, make sure that you are doing your part to help support the local shops in your area this holiday season.

This upcoming Saturday, November 30th has been officially named Small Business Saturday―one small day in the midst of the busiest holiday shopping weekend of the year that communities are asking shoppers to give back by spending their money at their local small businesses and shops.

Louisiana Tech Press Conference Transcript: Aug. 24

Aug. 24, 2012

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes and select student-athletes met with the media today previewing Louisiana Tech’s Aug. 30 game against Texas A&M at Independence Stadium in Shreveport.

Head Coach Sonny Dykes

Opening Comments:

“It is good to see everybody back. It is kind of an exciting time of the year. We are getting back into game week. It is a little unusual today being a Friday when we are doing this, but playing a Thursday night game is a little unusual just because of all the changes you have to make with your routine.”

“College football coaches, just like college football players, love their routine. It is a little bit of a change, but it is a change we are excited about.”

“We are looking forward to getting out there a week from yesterday and teaming up against a good Texas A&M team. We will know more about where we are as a team and where we are as a program then.”

“What we have to be careful with is, this is not a program-defining game for us, regardless of what happens. If we play well and win the game, we are going to have to play Houston the next week. And, if we do not, we still have to play Houston the next week.”

“Our goal is always to win the WAC, win a conference championship and get to a bowl game. This is obviously an important game for a lot of reasons, but at the same time we have to make sure we understand this is going to be a long season and we have to stay focused and continue to keep improving as a team.”

On injuries:

“We are in good shape. We have been really fortunate. That is one of the things we intended to do, is try to get through injury-free as much as possible. We talked a lot about different ways to do that during the summer and ways to adjust our practice schedule, and ways to try and keep our players fresh.”

“What happens a lot of times is these guys report in tremendous shape. They are working out all summer long, and then, if you practice too long, their bodies start to break down. If you practice seven, eight or nine a lot of years, you start losing six, seven, eight starters, and then you are practicing and repping a lot of guys that really are not going to play that much for you.”

“So, our intent was to do a good job protecting our guys out there. I think the weather was cooperative. I think that was certainly one of the things we were fortunate with was to have cool weather. I think that made our players fresher. I think when your players are fresher their bodies do not break down as quickly maybe as they do otherwise. That allowed us to get good quality practices and work with our young guys as well, but at the same time to practice and get time with the players we are going into the game with.”

“We have been remarkably injury free. I think we will be close to full speed when we play Texas A&M and we need to be.”

On scouting Texas A&M:

“The weird thing about this game is you have to watch four different films to know what is going on. You have to watch South Florida’s defense. That is where Mark Snyder, the defensive coordinator, comes from. Then, you have to watch Stanford, because that is where their special teams coordinator came from. You have to watch Houston’s offense. That is obviously where Kevin was last year and Kliff Kingsbury. And then, you have to watch Texas A&M just to get a feel for their personnel.”

“It is a tedious process. Right now I am going through and watching Texas A&M’s personnel from last year. I spent a lot of time over the summer looking at the schemes they ran at South Florida. Also, I looked at what they did on special teams, once again, at Stanford. So, it is tough figure it out and get it all straightened out.”

“I think that is one advantage a team like this has, because you are not really sure where the players are going to get placed. You think you have an idea of what they are going to do from a schemes standpoint, but you are not sure if this guy is going to be an outside linebacker or a defensive end or whether this receiver is going to be an inside receiver or an outside receiver. Is this guy going to be a tight end or a fullback? Which tight end are they going to play with? Are they going to utilize a fullback? Do they have the personnel to play man coverage? How much are they going to blitz as a result of that? There are all those questions that you would like to have answers to, but you really cannot going into the first game.”

“Their coaching staff does a very good job and that is one of the things Kevin does a fantastic job of is figuring out who their players are on offense, defense and special teams. That is why his teams have been successful and this team will not be any different.”

On concerns:

“I think the unknown. The second thing is they are going to have good athletes. They are going to have a lot of players that are big and can run fast and are just good players. Obviously, you worry about their athleticism.”

“The return game, I think, will be really good. They will be explosive in the punt and kick return game. That is something we are going to have to do a good job of containing and will have to prepare for.”

“They have really good running backs and those guys are capable of making big plays. The strength of their team is the offensive line. You worry a little bit about just how good that group is. It is a really good group of players.”

“You worry about all that, but at the end of the day, it is about us playing well, taking care of the football, creating turnovers, and doing the things that help you win football games. At the end of the day, you worry about that stuff, but really it is about us playing well and like we are capable of playing.”

On Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel:

“It is unusual. We tried to recruit Johnny out of high school. He may have been the first quarterback we offered. We are familiar with him in terms of what he can do. He is a very good athlete. He can run. He can make plays with his feet. He has a good, strong arm. How is he going to be used in the offense? That is the big question. Is he going to be used in the run game? He is certainly able to run a lot.”

“All those are answers we are not really going to know now. He is going to be a good player. He is one of those kids where you watch his high school film and you think, this kid has a little something special to him. I am sure that is why they picked him.”

On Tech’s defense:

“The thing that was different about Houston is we had a pretty good idea going in of what we were going to get. We could scheme them a little bit.

“This year, we are not really sure just because they are not really going to change anything. Case Keenum had a tremendous amount of success. They had a really strong supporting cast, and we had a pretty good idea of what they were going to do. So, this is different.”

“What he have to do is tackle well. That is the key to the first game always. We have to do a good job of tackling. When they get the ball in open spaces, we have to make sure to get the guy down. We have to play good fundamental football and make sure we are in the right place at the right time. We have to make sure we do not bust any coverages or anything up front to create running lanes for them. All those things are going to be important. It is going to be about our execution as much as it is theirs.”

On being pre-season favorites:

“There is added responsibly that goes along with that. You have a little bit more recognition. People will probably take you a little bit more seriously than a year ago.”

“As a result of that, you have to elevate your level of play. The thing that concerns coaches is when you have some type of success and you have to guard against the, ‘Hey, we have got it all figured out,’ mentality. We have to make sure these guys are on edge every day and they go out and practice well.”

“That is the thing with us. If we do not practice well, we are not a very good football team. If we do, then we have a chance to get better and become a good team. We are not going to roll out 22 NFL football players and have a ton of guys get drafted. That is just not what we have and that is not who we are.”

“Our guys have to go fight and scratch and do those things to have a chance to win. I think we know that. I am hoping we do. But, it is all about us every single day going out, fighting and earning the respect that we have gotten.”

On Texas A&M defense matchups:

“The more you watch the tape and looking at their personnel, they are really good. The guys that are returning are really good football players.”

“I think their linebackers are active, they make a lot of plays and they are good pass rushers, which is a little worrisome. Those linebackers do a good job of running around and making plays. They react and cover a lot of ground fast.”

“They have an outstanding defensive end, who I think is as good as anyone we will play this year. I think he has a chance to be really good and a pain because he is a good pass rusher and long and he plays hard. That is the thing about him. You watch the tape and play after play after play, he is still fighting and able to make plays within the play.”

“They have a good defense. The thing is both of the safeties have played a lot. They are not listed as returning starters, but they probably are because they have both played and have a tremendous amount of experience.”

“They are going to be a little bit young at corner, but they are going to be athletic. Deshazor Everett is a guy we tried to recruit. They are going to be very athletic at the corner spot.”

“It is going to be about us finding ways to move the football and executing our offense. Hopefully, if we do that, we will put a little pressure on them.”

On Louisiana Tech QB Colby Cameron:

“I think everybody feels comfortable with him. When we elected captains, he got more votes than anybody on our team. I think our players are confident in his ability and his leadership. We certainly are as a coaching staff.”

“That was the area in the past we were a little bit concerned about with Colby, just his confidence and leadership. That is the thing that has improved the most. He is getting more reps. He is throwing the ball better. He is more comfortable and is making decisions faster. He is taking care of the ball better. All of those things are what you want quarterbacks to do, and his leadership and stability has given us a lot of confidence.”

On if Cameron is one of the top 30 quarterbacks in the nation:

“I would think he has a chance to be. I think we always feel that way. If you ask any coach, and they are going to think their players are better than everybody else’s. I believe the proof is always in the pudding. We will see what kind of year he has. I think he will have a good one, but there are 120 press conferences today or Monday, where every one of those coaches think their quarterbacks are going to have good years too. We will see how that plays out. Personally, I have a lot of confidence in him.”

“I think he is going to have a great year. I think he has looked really, really sharp. I think his timing with the receivers is where we want it to be. They are on the same page. His decision-making this fall camp has really been good. He just has to go out and play like he has been practicing. That is going to be the key for him. If he does that he will have a heck of a year.”

On Louisiana Tech’s receivers:

“It is an interesting group. It is a group of guys that have played a lot of football. Quinton (Patton) has been a factor for us for a long time. Myles White came on last season and had a great year for us. D.J. Banks is a newcomer, but he has played a lot of football. He was a two-year starter at Tulane and we are excited about what he can do.”

“Then, you have a lot of guys that have played a lot and been productive. David Gru is a good solid player and we are excited about him. Jon Greenwalt is another player that is a junior college transfer that has not been healthy as much as we needed or wanted him to be, but we think he is a guy that can make an impact. Andrew Guillot has been through three ACL surgeries and just keeps coming back, and he is playing with a lot of toughness and competitiveness right now. Scott Cathcart will give us some depth.”

“We have a good group because we have some bigger, more physical guys in there, then some faster guys. So, that is what you want. You want a lot of different kind of guys because you will have a lot of different matchup issues against people. They have different skillsets.”

“It is tough when you are a corner and you are going against Quinton Patton, who can run, and then, you go up against Scott Cathcart, who is not as fast but has a bigger body. Those are two totally different kind of route runners who can do totally different things, and I think that always helps when you have diversity in your receiving corp.”

On entering game week:

“I like fall camp, honestly. I am kind of a process-oriented guy, so I like going out and doing the same stuff day in and day out. I like working the drills. I am one of those guys who wishes they would let us practice year round. I could practice all the time.”

“The fact that we get to play some games is probably more satisfying for some of our players than it is for me. I like the grind of practice. I like to watch players develop and to see the light bulb go on for some guys. I like watching kids become good players.”

“Having said that, this is why you play football – for the games. You do not really know a lot about your team until the first game. You do but you do not. We will know more about our team a week from today than we do right now. I think we will have some questions answered, and hopefully they are answered in a positive manner.”

On Tech’s under the radar players:

“We have the young running backs. Tevin is a guy that is going to be fun to watch. Kenneth is kind of the opposite of him. Both of those guys are guys that probably people do not know that much about. I think they could end up having good years. D.J. Banks, a newcomer, is somebody who has not played a lot, but he could have a good year.”

“Vontarrius Dora is a defensive end that has some mobility. I am anxious to see how he continues to improve. He goes out and gets better every day. He has a good work ethic and a good athletic body and frame. He is a mature kid. I love his work ethic.”

“Defensively, I am excited to see how the linebackers do - Antonio Mitchum, Chip Hester and Rufus Porter. All those guys have played a little bit for us in the past, but I am anxious to see how they step up.”

“I am real excited about Brice Abraham. I think he is a young corner we are all going to really like. He is a consistent guy and is a mature, good athlete. The thing I like about Brice is he competes every down. He is one of those guys that just bounces back. He is the kind of guy you can win with.”

“Dave Clark has made a lot of plays through fall camp. I am anxious to see how he responds to this challenge that A&M will throw his way.”

“The good thing is we are not relying on too many new players. I think that speaks highly of our depth and our football program, because this is a really good freshman class. The fact that our returning guys were able to hold a lot of them off speaks to how much they have improved and the depth in our program.”

On opportunities playing Texas A&M:

“It is definitely a good opportunity. You get to play an SEC school. The big thing is we do not have to play them at their home stadium. I do not know how many times in history Louisiana Tech has played an SEC team and it has not been on the road. I think of maybe Mississippi State.”

“Obviously we are playing them in Shreveport. We are not playing them at Kyle Field, which is a positive. I think anytime you are not going to their place to play, it certainly makes you feel better.”

“It is a big opportunity. They have a good football team. That is going to be a good program. I really believe Kevin Sumlin and their coaches will do a great job there. I think they will transition better in the SEC than everybody thinks. I think they will have a very good team and a very good program. I think they will be playing for championships in that league before long. I just think they are going to do something that is a little different in the league. I think it gives them an advantage.”

“The thing we have to do is go out and play well and do what we can to win the football game. We have to make sure we are better in week two when we play Houston than we are in week one.”

On playing in Shreveport’s Independence Stadium

“I think that is a stadium we have played in and practiced in. There is a level of comfort with that stadium for a lot of our players. To have a home crowd is a big deal for us. It is going to be important that we continue to sell tickets and that people support the team. I think that is a big deal for us.”

“It is a big deal for us being able to schedule games in Shreveport. That is important for all those factors. The biggest thing is being comfortable in an environment. Having the mindset that it is our home stadium gives us a little bit of confidence.”

On Lou Holtz’s comments:

“I hope he is right. I think first games are strange. You just do not ever know what is going to happen, good or bad, just because there are a lot of unknowns. How is this guy going to react to that? How is it all going to come together? You just do not know.”

“The biggest thing is how are the players, coaching staff and team going to deal with adversity? You are going to have some. That is always the biggest questions you have to answer with any football team is how are we going to handle if things do not go our way. You never really know.”

“Every team is different. We handled that well last year. This is a different team. That team was different with different leaders, different dynamics, different everything. How are we going to handle those situations this year? That remains to be seen.”

On walk-ons:

“I think that is obviously a huge part of our program, and it needs to be as good of high school football there is in the state. With all the built in advantages we have with being able to get kids here, a lot of times they have some scholarship money if they are good students and that helps.”

“We actively seek those guys out just because we know we are always going to need depth. Anytime you can get a good player to go to your program and pay their own way, they are hungry and that is the biggest thing for those guys if they come in every day wanting to earn a scholarship and work hard to improve themselves. When you find athletes that want to work and compete and want to earn something, you have a chance to find good players.”

“And then, you have to do a good job developing them. I think Damon does a good job in the weight room and hopefully our coaching staff does a pretty good job of figuring out what they can do and everything else.”

Redshirt senior Colby Cameron

On if Texas A&M is similar to last year’s Houston team:

“Yeah, kind of, but not really. We have been watching a lot of South Florida film for the defense. I think from the offensive side, it is definitely the same as Houston, but from the defensive side, it is definitely more similar to South Florida.”

On his comfort level:

“I think the guys are more confident in where they stand on the team. I think we have leaders in certain spots. Where last year guys were developing as leaders in certain spots, this year we have leaders where other kids look up to them from the wide receiver position to the running backs to our offensive line, who are all veteran guys, so I think we are confident with where we stand, but at the same time we are still developing as a team and are still working on it.”

On being the starting QB entering the season:

“It is just a good feeling going into your senior year, because you are not stressed out about all the other hoopla about whether you are going to play or not going to play. I am more confident with filling my role. As the quarterback, you do not ever want to be second guessing yourself going into the season, and I think we have had that in the past. I think now our team knows, and I know, that going in as a leader and how people perceive you as a quarterback in a leadership role.”

On looking at the game as a possible redemption game (from his performance against A&M in 2010):

“You can kind of look at is that way. Obviously I want to do better, but I am not looking at it as a redemption game about Texas A&M this and that. I think I am looking at it more as looking back to tell my kids I played a better game against Texas A&M because that one was a little rough. I am just excited for the opportunity to play a great team. I think playing such a well-known team, it is fun to be put in the limelight and I am looking forward to the opportunity.”

“I think we are on a new page in our system and I think we all have new roles. When we first started, it was kind of crazy. I do not think anyone knew where we were placed in the offense. Now, everyone has their role. I think we are just much more confident.”

On playing in Shreveport:

“I think it is just close to home from the fans standpoint. We can have a larger crowd. It is still a different venue, so it might be a little tough going to a different spot. At the same time, it is closer to home so it makes it a little easier.”

“We feel comfortable just because we are familiar with the place. We know it is not just a random venue somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. I think people know of Shreveport and where we are headed, so there are no surprises of the fact that we are going to this spot. It is kind of like a home game for us, but it is still not really home.”

On entering game week:

“We are really excited. We were ready for camp to be over. Camp is a grind. It is hard to go 18-19 practices in a row. I think the team is actually ready to show what they have put in and we are just ready to finally get that first game going.”

On getting hit:

“It feels good. You do not get hit except for maybe a couple months out of the year, so I might be a little bit more sore, but I am looking forward to it.”

On concerns with defense:

“The program they have been in, they have a lot of athletes. It is a top-notch program. You hear about them a lot and they recruit real well. I think they are going to have great people at each position, especially since going to the SEC and they got a lot of recruits, so I think that is what you think about.”

“It is hard to talk about scheme just because you cannot fit their personnel into the new scheme they are in because we have not seen much of it. I think they just have a lot of great athletes.”

On if he has a large ticket request:

“Being from California, I do not have that many. It makes it difficult for people to come out, but my parents will be there and a couple friends will be in the crowd.”

On staying grounded despite lots of preseason national press:

“Since we won last year, a lot of people have been saying we can win this or that. I think we just have to take it week by week. I do not like looking at the news and all that stuff.”

“It is hard to be a part of all that, because there is so much stuff going on, but I think we are just going to take it week by week and take it from there.”

On preparing for Texas A&M:

“It is always great. With our team, we have athletes that are capable of playing at a high level like these teams do all the time. I think we are just confident in our abilities and we look forward to playing them.”

On having shorter hair:

“My mom wanted me to cut it off and it is pretty hot in the summer so I had to get rid of it.”

Senior S Jamel Johnson

On facing the same scheme as Houston:

“It definitely helps us a lot. We have a good grasp of the scheme. It is kind of hard knowing how their personnel moves and just the whole scheme really helped us a lot.”

On the Texas A&M quarterback:

“I know the position is one of the toughest on the field and to be a freshman on this stage is going to be pretty tough, so I think we have to take advantage of that and expose him a little.”

On concerns with Texas A&M’s offense:

“The biggest concern going in is pretty much not being able to see how they move on certain plays with the offense Houston ran.”

“I think it is most important for the guys to focus on making the game more about us than it is them. If we go out and execute and play with great effort, it will give us a chance. Results are results but it will definitely give us a chance.”

On the Tech defense’s confidence level:

“There is definitely a higher level of confidence, but it has been a positive confidence. It has made our players work harder. I think we have had one of the best offseasons since I have been around here. I think the players, for the most part, fed off the fact that we did so well last year and just seeing that it can be done, so I think it has helped us.”

“It is very important. I can look over at Chad, and sometimes we do not necessarily have to call a play. It is just what makes sense at the time. I definitely think with five seniors back there, it is definitely a positive for us.”

On Brice Abraham:

“There are certain plays you can make in high school that are just not relevant at this level. For the most part, it is about finishing plays. I just try to remind him after every play to just finish the play and just about being in position to make the tackle versus just running by and assuming you will make the tackle. It is just about finishing and playing full speed at all times.”

On seniors helping coach up the freshmen in the secondary:

“It definitely has to be that way, especially when you are trying to build confidence with these young guys. I always catch Dave Clark in one of their ears, he is always in one of the younger guys ears. That is definitely important for us.”

“Like I said, we have had one of the best offseasons since I have been here, so seeing that day by day from winter until now, I am not nervous at all. I know the work we put in and that is pretty much it.”

Uber passengers allegedly taken on wild car chase in D.C., Virginia

Uber deactivates driver after passengers allegedly taken on a car chase through Washington, D.C. and Virginia

Three Uber customers were allegedly taken on the ride of their lives this week when their driver decided to flee from a taxi inspector and race through Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

"Was just kidnapped by an @uber driver in DC, held against my will, and involved in a high speed chase across state lines with police #Crazy," tweeted Ryan Simonetti, a New York businessman who was in town on business,  according to the Washington Post.

The incident occurred when Simonetti and two colleagues ordered an Uber so they could head to Washington's Tysons Corner after finishing up a meeting near the city's Verizon Center. As they approached the car they saw a taxi inspector talking to their driver. They climbed in and the driver drove away from the inspector, who then hopped into his own car and began following.

That's when the Uber driver allegedly began driving like a wild man, running through a red light before racing down Interstate 395. The Uber driver said that if he stopped he could get a $2,000 fine from the inspector, Simonetti told the Post. At this point Simonetti and his colleagues demanded that the driver stop or let them out before they crashed.

"I physically tried to force his leg to hit the brake. I ripped off his pant leg. I said, ‘Here’s two options. You take this exit, or I’m going to knock the side of your head in,'" Simonetti told the Post.

The driver relented and pulled onto an exit ramp, letting the three passengers jump out, before turning around and driving the wrong way up the ramp.

San Francisco-based Uber said it had "deactivated" the driver and was working with authorities to investigate the incident.

Simonetti, a self-described die-hard Uber customer, said he hoped the company learned from the incident.

"The question is what the vetting process is for drivers,” Simonetti told the Post. "As they get [bigger], how do you prevent stuff like that from happening? How do you screen crazy people out?”

The incident is an example of why ride-sharing companies should be held to the same regulations as taxi companies, said Dave Sutton, a spokesman for Who's Driving You, a public safety initiative about the risks of ridesharing started by the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Assn.

"As Uber begins to provide more and more rides, you'll see more and more things happening," Sutton told the Los Angeles Times. "This is the reason why oversight is required, and without it, you've got passengers at risk."

Billy Ray Cyrus totally chill about 'artist' Miley's exhibition

Billy Ray Cyrus' reaction to daughter Miley's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in August is not what many daughters could expect from many daddies.

He's totally chill about the whole thing, he told Piers Morgan on CNN on Thursday.

"Miley harnessed into something very special," said Papa Cyrus. "She's just Miley, she's an artist, she's real -- I think that what's happened over the years is Miley has been reinventing her sound. She's evolving as an artist herself, and I think that all of what everyone is calling controversy now, that's still my Miley."

His Miley or not, the racy, foam-finger-enhanced performance was still controversial. Kind of makes you wonder how she behaved at home as a child, in her full-on "Hannah Montana" days -- or maybe not. Don't want to go there? Neither do we.

So, did Dad have any idea what his daughter was going to pull out of her I'm-an-artist hat when she hit the stage in New York?

"I knew she wanted to do something really special and something that everyone was going to be talking about," he said -- and, by the way, mission accomplished on that latter part. "I knew that she had put in a great deal of practice and thought into what was going to happen in New York."

He said he's never known any great artist that was "lukewarm," with the world in the middle about them.

Folks are free to love or hate, and love or hate they do. Even those who, as "Hannah Montana" fans, felt uncomfortable with what went down, Morgan noted.

"Well, that's what music is supposed to do, is make you feel. ... You can either love it or hate it; that's everyone's right to do so, 'cause it's art," Cyrus said.

Note to Billy Ray: It might not have been the music that made people uncomfortable. Just throwing that out there, with the latex bikini and the twerking. Don't mind us. We were just "feeling" like taking a shower after the show, you know?

Yet, we got the idea that he knew perfectly well it wasn't the music, per se, that got the world's panties in a bunch on that August night.

"Miley, I think she could've sung the song in a flannel shirt and a pair of jeans and it would've been just as strong.

"Would we have been here talking about it right now? No way."

Incidentally, Billy Ray had bailed on Morgan's show on Aug. 27, two days after the VMAs, giving such short notice that he was still included in the pre-show tease to that night's guests, E! News reported.

There was no official reason he didn't show up to discuss Miley's performance, but Morgan joked, "I'm not sure he's quite worked out what his explanation is yet, so we've decided to postpone it."

And now we know the explanation. It's just Miley being Miley.

Second investigation of CDC anthrax lapse finds more problems

An investigation of the CDC finds missing anthrax, expired disinfectants and more problems

Another federal investigation has found numerous safety problems at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s bioterrorism lab after a lapse last month that potentially exposed several dozen workers to anthrax, according to a House memo posted Monday.

The problems included storing anthrax in unlocked refrigerators, transferring dangerous materials in Ziploc bags, and using expired disinfectants, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found.

The findings were summarized in the memo, released before CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden testifies before a House panel Wednesday about last month’s anthrax incident.

In June, the CDC said a problem at its main Bioterrorism Rapid Response and Advanced Technology anthrax lab in Atlanta could have exposed more than 80 workers to the pathogen. A lab preparing samples of anthrax for further study did not properly ensure the bacteria was dead, it said.

The USDA inspected the lab after that announcement. According to the memo, its findings included:

  • Containers of anthrax were missing, and inspectors had to track them down.
  • Anthrax was still sitting in an unlocked lab.
  • Researchers could not remember whether they had used expired bleach to decontaminate areas potentially exposed to anthrax.
  • At least some lab workers who potentially had been exposed to anthrax were not examined by a CDC clinic for five days.
  • There was confusion over who was leading the decontamination effort, what procedures to follow and even what decontamination chemical to use.

“Each layer we peel back in this investigation seems to reveal a new instance of carelessness in the CDC’s management of dangerous pathogens,” Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), chairman of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on oversight and investigations, said in a statement.

The USDA investigation was separate from the CDC's internal inquiry, in which the CDC revealed that pathogens including anthrax, botulism and a deadly strain of bird flu were improperly sent among government labs in five incidents in the last decade.

“These events should never have happened,” Frieden told reporters Friday, when the CDC report was released. “I’m disappointed, and frankly I’m angry about it.”

The CDC is one of the government’s top health and research agencies.

Legal History

Full-time Faculty

Martin Flaherty Robert Kaczorowski  James Kainen
Andrew Kent Thomas H. Lee Rachel Vorspan

Legal history serves important functions in law and in legal education. Lawyers often employ history in fashioning arguments before the courts. Judges often invoke history in explaining the legal results they reach in specific cases. The important roles legal history plays in the legal process is one reason law schools offer courses in the subject. Legal history courses enable students to investigate the origins and evolution of legal doctrines, to explore the intent or understanding behind particular statutes and constitutional provisions, and to reassess landmark decisions. More importantly, legal history offers students an interdisciplinary perspective on law with which they can better understand specific fields of law and legal doctrines, different approaches to legal reasoning, and law as a profession. This perspective will enable students to use more effectively the legal knowledge and legal skills they acquire in law school.

The Law School offers two courses that survey the history of Anglo-American law. English Legal History examines the evolution of English civil, criminal, and constitutional law from the medieval period to the present, emphasizing the period from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. American Legal History Survey examines private and constitutional law in the United States from the nation's Founding in the eighteenth century to the present. In addition, other courses focus on selected topics in the history of American legal thought history.

London Kills Him

No one could accuse Gary Oldman of going with the flow. While British working-class film trades in its hereditary gloom - even Ken Loach is making comedies these days - for perky little numbers custom-built for a swift American pickup (Brassed Off, The Full Monty), Oldman's first directing effort hauls back into the robust miserabilism that's juiced English film from the Angry Young Men movies of the early '60s to Mike Leigh, whose 1983 telefilm, Mean Time, gave Oldman his big acting break. Merrie England, my arse: For those of us who still enjoy a good wallow in the predestined awfulness of life, Nil by Mouth plays almost as nostalgia for Britain in its surly, fatalistic prime, before Thatcherism and Tony Blair bustled in to give capitalism a good name.

The movie opens with a bunch of London lowlifes out-bragging one another in a fugue of profanity at once scabrous and poetic enough to make David Mamet choke. Actually, the scene could be a set piece out of GoodFellas, except that there's no payoff in gunplay and little enough in fistfights. Cruel, anguished, savagely funny, the talk belches forth in this 128-minute slice of Oldman's life growing up in the rough South London borough of New Cross. Nil by Mouth is dedicated to Oldman's father, who must have been a right old piece of work, for the film is defined by absent or abusive dads. At its center is Raymond (played by Ray Winstone, last seen in a similar role in Loach's Ladybird, Ladybird, a film Oldman has doubtless studied closely), a brawling, wife-beating, sniveling son of a bitch who piles booze upon coke upon booze. There's more than one habit being supported in Ray's beleaguered family. His wife, Valerie (Kathy Burke, who won Best Actress at Cannes last year for her performance), wears defeat on her face like makeup. She keeps taking it on the chin from her explosive husband, even when he attacks her younger brother, Billy (a wonderfully feverish Charlie Creed-Miles), who's a blossoming junkie himself and very likely modeled on Oldman in his youth. Valerie's mother, Janet (Laila Morse), screams bloody murder at Billy while financing his addiction, as Ray goes from bad to worse, smashing up his wife and their house until at last she takes a stand of sorts.

An hour of this and you'd be ready to blow your brains out, had the characters - trapped in tight closeup by a mostly hand-held camera - not crept up and lodged their battered selves in your heart. They are who they are, and despite all, they're everything to one another. Unlike Loach, who typically has a cop or a social worker looming on behalf of the repressive state apparatus, Oldman steadfastly avoids social analysis. It's all in the mood: Bathed in blues and grays and Eric Clapton's spare, aching score, the hideous projects achieve a grungy beauty that only heightens our sense of lives coarsened by ugliness and want. Though the movie has its moments of mawkish overkill - in separate scenes Billy and Ray deliver long speeches about the cruelty and neglect their own fathers visited on them - Nil by Mouth is meant less as an indictment than a document of hard-won survival, and for the director, surely, a coming to terms. In a lovely grace note, Valerie, puffy from Ray's last assault and watched by her little girl, takes her grandmother (Edna Dore, who played the comatose old mother in Mike Leigh's High Hopes) in her arms, and the two circle her kitchen in a stiff, gentle dance. By the end of this beautifully observed bummer of a movie, your chin may be resting on your kneecaps, but you will have come to know a world.

Released by Sony Pictures Classics
At the Nuart through February 12, at Goldwyn Pavilion thereafter

On the Subject of Couples

"You have to promise not to laugh."

"I won't laugh," he offers quickly, almost before I finish my sentence.

As I begin to pull the small package from my bag, he notices the work's current form.

"You framed it?"

The surprise in his voice is unanticipated. I explain that the frame is a part of the piece.

"You ready?"

I lift the small black frame from my bag and place it gently on the table. He inspects the image. His response is rapid, unexpectedly flattering.

"That's nice. What's wrong with it?"

The question is understandable. I'd introduced the photo with details of what I'd affectionately dubbed "hell shoot." Anything that could go wrong mechanically/technically during the photo session did, and what was before him represented an attempt to salvage some part of the work.

I explain that nothing is wrong with the image per se and that it's "hazy" on purpose.

"It's cool," he continues as he pulls the frame toward him. "Hey, that's nice." There's a beat before he adds: "You look so angry." He shifts, studies the image. "Well, I mean . . . What's wrong with it, though?"

This time, I suspect the question has to do with my mentioning that I had thought of reconceptualizing the project.

"Nothing is 'wrong' with the photo," I tell him.

I'd set this meeting because I wanted his input. I knew what I read in the image, but where couples were concerned, I suddenly felt I couldn't trust my judgment. Having never been a part of one, I felt completely out of my element.

"I guess that shirt's not all that bad-looking," he says.

It's a comment related to the shoot. We'd worn matching shirts, and though the one I'd given him was a large, it fit more snugly about his chest and shoulders than I'd anticipated. He'd remarked shortly after donning it that he thought he looked like a "dork."

I go over some of the technical aspects of the creation, then inform him, "It was the one image . . . There was something about it . . . When I looked at it, it became about two other people. What do you get from the image?"

"I dunno. It's difficult to say, you know, because I'm looking at myself."

I ask if he can not see himself.

"I'm too wrapped up in myself to do that," he tells me. "I look fuckin' great!"

There's no mistaking his intended humor. Laughter rises from deep within each of us. Then his tone returns to serious.

"I'm not sure what you were trying to do, but what I'm getting out of it is . . . I mean, you get a feeling that it is . . . I'm looking . . . I can become like . . . two other people. Are you telling me . . . I'm not quite sure . . . I could probably get like a challenging look out of it, kinda like a confrontational thing . . . But it's kinda weird, because it's such a soft photograph. Maybe you could also get like some other kinda like softer emotions, romantic emotions. I dunno . . ."

"What do you mean by 'confrontational'?" I ask.

There's no hesitation before he says, "I mean, we both look pissed. That's part of it."

"You think you look pissed?"

"You also have this look on your face like, you know - let's say that this isn't us - like, 'What am I doing with this moron?' You know?"

"What am I doing with this moron?" I parrot. It's my turn for surprise.

"Or, I dunno, 'Look what I settled for.' Or something like that."

"So there's an indifference . . ."

"'Cause your head's kinda tilted," he interrupts. "There seems to be sort of an indifference in there. But I seem to be . . . This guy appears to be just glaring."

I suggest that since the meeting place is so dark, he might want to re-examine the image under the light. He does.

"I mean, this is also kinda weird. Both of my arms are around you, and you don't know where your hands are at, so it looks like I'm . . . protecting you or something. And you don't have . . . Your face doesn't say 'Protect me' or 'I need this' or 'I feel,' you know what I'm saying? So that's weird."

I explain that my "couple-ese" is weak. It's one of the reasons I'm pursuing this particular proj-ect. Couples - how they're constructed, how they function, why some work, why some don't - fascinate me.

"This could be a Benetton ad," he says.

Laughter visits once more.

"What makes you say that?"

"Their whole . . . themes of race and stuff like that. You know."

"But it's in black and white."

My eyes fall toward the image. He stares at me from the frame, blond hair, blue eyes, arms wrapped about me. The delicacy of the printing lessens the difference in our respective skin tones.

Benetton's approach is light-years away. Very colorful, very "rainbow coalition." The phrase "black skin as art direction" pops into my head. I begin to resent the connection he's formed between my work in this instance and Benetton's advertising, primarily because of Benetton's insensitivity. It's an insensitivity I project onto him. There's a moment before I soften, realizing the unfairness of the projection.

"Yeah, I guess it's obvious with this hair, I'm not exactly Scandinavian."

"I . . . I could be from Scandinavia, though. My name could be 'Bjorn' or something . . ."

His attention drifts back to the small image sandwiched between glass.

"I think the most interesting thing is, now that I'm looking at it, the most interesting thing is that my arms are around you . . . Because that gives it . . . that sets up this kinda . . . I mean, the eyes are confronting the looker, the person looking at this thing, you know, and I'm getting from that . . . I'm getting confrontation from that. You know. I'm getting 'Challenge this. Challenge this, I dare you' - that kinda thing. That's what I'm saying.

"But then," he continues, "when I see . . . That's totally undercut by the fact that my arms are around you, kinda like shielding or protecting you, 'cause that opens up a relationship between the two people which I'm not expecting either. It . . . From the hard glare I'm not gonna expect . . . Not glare, but from the hard look from like me and you in the photograph that I'm getting, or, at least, I dunno if it's a look of indifference or a look of just like . . ."

He stops and ponders the image once more.

"Or maybe I'm looking at it all wrong. Maybe you do look vulnerable. I can't tell now."

TV Trial

A judge has approved the televising of the upcoming trial of Sara Jane Olson, the first time cameras have been allowed in the courtroom for a major trial since the O.J. Simpson case.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Larry Fidler rejected requests by District Attorney Steve Cooley to bar cameras. Olson, who changed her name from Kathleen Soliah, is charged with conspiracy to murder two LAPD officers by helping to plant pipe bombs under their patrol cars in August 1975. The bombs did not detonate. Prosecutors say Olson was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), which kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst and committed two murders and two bank robberies.

Kyle Christopherson, assistant public-information officer for the court, said the plan is to allow three fixed TV cameras and one still camera. The TV cameras will not be permitted to pan the courtroom. And under no circumstances will the jury members be shown. Christopherson said Fidler hopes to use this trial to set a precedent for how things should be done. He especially wants to show his fellow judges, who have opposed televising trials, that you can put cameras in the courtroom and not disturb the proceedings. Fidler will decide on a case-by-case basis which witnesses can be televised and will prohibit TV coverage of testimony about bomb-making. Court sessions are scheduled to begin Monday with two to three weeks of pretrial motions.

Many judges dislike operating under the constant whir of the TV camera, which, as the O.J. case demonstrated, can lead the public to scrutinize all participants, including the man or woman in the black robe. (Initial requests to televise the trial had been rejected by Judge James Ideman, who has since been reassigned to Torrance.)

The L.A. County District Attorneys Office opposed televising the trial, claiming it might jeopardize the potential prosecution of Olson in Sacramento for the murder of Myrna Opsahl, a bank customer killed during the SLAs robbery of a Carmichael bank. However, Sacramento prosecutors have been unwilling to file a case against Olson in connection with the bank heist and murder.

The D.A.s Office contended that televising the trial would reveal bomb-making secrets, endanger witnesses such as Hearst and impair Olsons right to a fair trial.

Alonzo Wickers, an attorney representing Court TV, insists the D.A.s concerns were baseless. This case is undeniably a part of L.A.s history. And there is substantial interest by the public in hearing that history, says Wickers, of Davis Wright Tremaine, which also represents L.A. Weekly. The publics interest and the publics faith in the fairness of the system will be best served by viewing the actual trial, rather than depending on abbreviated accounts by journalists in newspapers.

Wickers says the bomb-making technology is nearly three decades old, and available on the Internet. Moreover, he takes issue with the privacy concerns. Patty Hearst has already talked about her kidnapping and subsequent involvement in the SLA bank robbery on television and in print interviews, he says.

In fact, Olson has contended that televising her trial is the only way she can be sure of getting a fair trial.

Cooleys opposition to the cameras seemed to contradict statements he made during a debate with Gil Garcetti last summer. When Garcetti remarked that he now vehemently opposed televising trials, Cooley responded, As a matter of principle, cameras should probably be in the courtroom. The public should see whats going on there. As for Olsons request that her trial be televised, Cooley responded, Thats a good point. But she cant waive the privacy rights of others.

« on: May 01, 2009, 07:11:51 PM »
For anyone (currently in DC) starting law school in the fall, I have the following Examples & Explanations hornbooks available. I found these incredibly useful throughout law school and the law has not changed so these are just as useful now as when I started 4 years ago.

Each of these retail for $30-$40, so this is a good deal.

Civil Procedure (Glannon) - this is basically a required text for first year.
Constitutional Law 1
Criminal Law

You need to pick them up. I am at 15th and U NW.

Email me at if you are interested.

Accepted: GWU, GMU, American
Waitlist: Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, UVa
Withdrawn: UNC (withdrew in mid March, tired of waiting)

Do you still have the hornbooks for sale? How much will you be willing to sell the entire set for and can you ship them to me in New Jersey?
