Dream Team gaffers reluctant to put their faith in Chelsea defenders have been left scratching their heads when contemplating alternatives.
The Blues have been brilliant since Edouard Mendy’s (£3.2m) arrival but block-picking Kurt Zouma (£3.2m) and co is a gamble as one conceded goal could ruin the weekend; something that almost happened in Game Week 8 before Hakim Ziyech (£3.7m) came to the rescue with assists for Ben Chilwell (£4.3m) and Thiago Silva (£4.5m).
So which defenders could we mix in with the Chelsea boys to spread the load?
Viable options stem from Leicester, Man City and Wolves but we’re putting Aston Villa defenders forward for consideration.
No Premier League team have conceded fewer goals than Dean Smith’s side at this stage of the season — a fact that would have been unthinkable for most of 2019/20.
Granted, the Villains have played one game fewer than most of their rivals because of the scheduling but that just makes their position in the table (6th) even more impressive.
Tyrone Mings (£2.5m) entered the top ten defenders after Villa’s 3-0 win at the Emirates with Ezri Konsa (£1.8m) not far behind in 12th on 36 points.
The latter is the only defender currently priced below £2.0m with more than 30 points to his name.
Let’s use the Dream Team Coach player comparison tool to see how Mings matches up with a more popular defender…
Matty Cash’s (£2.1m) tally of 26 points is respectable without but it’s worth noting the 23-year-old is has the highest average WhoScored rating of all right-backs in the Premier League.
For those who don’t know, WhoScored provide our ratings that determine Star Man and bonus points for each fixture.
Keepers and defenders and go hand-in-hand and only the aforementioned Mendy has more points than Emiliano Martinez (£3.1m) right now.
Some may be concerned by Villa’s rare lapses this season.
Patrick Bamford’s hat-trick (£3.2m) and Southampton’s 4-3 win at Villa Park meant Mings and co incurred minus points in successive weeks before their convincing win away to Arsenal.
However, a glance at Villa’s league fixtures from now until Christmas suggests they’ve got a favourable run.
- Brighton (h)
- West Ham (a)
- Newcastle (h)
- Wolves (a)
- Burnley (h)
- West Brom (a)
- Crystal Palace (h)
With upcoming games against three teams currently in the bottom five, the potential for Villa defenders to acquire points this festive period is relatively high.
We must consider the fact Villa aren’t participating in Europe this season, meaning their players aren’t able to add to their points tallies as frequently as those bound to Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Man United, Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal.
Even so, this season demands outside-the-box thinking more than most.

A Convo Down the Lane (Part II)
Mr Manoj was trying to take the conversation more and more towards politics. Now he asked an overtly political question to me.
Question: “Why do Muslims support Pakistan?” he asked. I replied that I don’t think it is the case. He was adamant though. I asked him what made him think so. Cricket, yes he had seen some Muslims supporting Pakistan team in cricket.
It again is a typical saffron narrative. Muslims of India are often looked at with an eye of suspicion on their loyalty to India vis-a-vis Pakistan. A friend of Aligarh once told me that he supports Pakistan cricket team in public while the case is different in private. This was because of the hurt he felt out of being subjected to suspicion.
Well, being under advice to control my tendency to go head on in contentious issues, I tried to avoid this one. But he kept on coming up with arguments, thus characterising the Indian Muslim as the disloyal progeny of the invader who eats here and has his heart elsewhere. It is the typical characterization that his type of narrative uses to justify the xenophobia of Mr Manoj.
Answer: I don’t think it is the general case. Yes, there may be a few ones who support Pakistan in cricket but it is no big deal. It is just natural due to cultural and may be historical reasons. There is a natural affinity between people of same cultures and faiths. Such an affinity that too restricted to a game can’t be construed as treason by anyone except by a bigoted mind. Maybe there are historical reasons as well. For example, the Hyderabad that you are talking about was a Muslim princely state that India annexed by military force. In any case from what I have seen of an Indian Muslim, he is more inclined to support his own country than any other even in cricket. There may be a few, but I am not supporting them just dishing out the possible reasons.
Now Mr Manoj decided to talk about my motherland i.e. Kashmir
Question: I heard and read that Kashmiris don’t like India. But why?
It was an unexpected question. Usually, a common Indian is surprised to know that there is any dissatisfaction amongst the people of the valley. The common man’s perception is generally that Kashmir is a place where “security “forces are securing fellow citizens from the wrath of infiltrators and mercenaries. This gentleman seems a bit more knowledgeable of the ground reality in Kashmir. Unfortunately, he has wedded it to his right-wing narrative of the disloyal progeny of invaders.
Answer: Had you been brought up in Kashmir under the noose and oppression you would also have felt the same as an ordinary Kashmiri feels. So much has happened in Kashmir that you cannot imagine.
He asked what and why. He was stretching it further but I was not in no mood to…
Question: Well Kashmiris get so many benefits from the Indian government. Electricity is given free. LPG is given free. There are relaxations and reservations in employment
It is rather a common misconception in the minds of many people that the government is too generous to the ‘ungrateful’ Kashmiris and that it is spending huge amounts of money for development and all.
Answer: It is completely a case of misinformation and misrepresentation of facts. Leave alone being generous, we don’t even get our due from the centre. NHPC produces a mammoth 30% of its power generated from our state which is transmitted to the northern grid while we remain starved of electricity in sub-zero temperatures. And employment, I have seen friends, graduates and post-graduates running paces to become constables in the police. Unemployment is such a chronic issue in our state primarily due to lack of industrialisation and the absence of private sector. Yes, the government does spend a huge amount of money on Kashmir. But not for the people, it spends on a huge army presence. With nearly a quarter million troops stationed in the valley, who occupy one lac kanals of private land, the expenses are bound to be huge.
But for common Kashmiris, there is no generosity. The lack of industries is primarily due to unavailability of power. The Internet was a very late comer to the valley and is still occasionally banned. With the huge hydroelectric potential of the valley sacrificed at the altar of Indus water treaty, the benefits of which are reaped in the irrigated lands of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, it is indeed an irony that such misconceptions persist. Even in a purely economic sense accession has been a costly affair for J&K.
Question: What wrongs are being done to the people of Kashmir? “I heard that beautiful women are raped by army men in Kashmir”, he said so with a tinge of jingoistic, shameless pride.
Rape has many times been used as a weapon by a stronger and conscience-dead side in a conflict. The purpose has been to denigrate and humiliate the weaker adversary into submission. And the chauvinism that has beset the mind of Mr Manoj makes him oblivious to the shame and devilishness of such a heinous crime. It instead gives him a false sense of pride.
Answer: Yes, there have been thousands of rapes in the valley by the soldiers of a ‘secular democratic nation’. From the infamous mass rape of more than 50 women in Kunan-Poshpora to the shameful rape of and 8-year girl along with her mother in Badra-Payeen Handwara, rape has consistently been used as a weapon of war to humiliate the Kashmiris, to break their resolve to resist. Before Manoj stretches it further I take my leave and told him that I have to sleep and went to my seat.
At the end of the day, what I assume is that Manoj’s curiosity doesn’t got all its answers. He, I am sure, has more questions to ask after the conversation than he had before it. Some of which he will ask from his own narrative, his own ideology and his own worldview. For me, the conversation was very fruitful. It further helped me to understand why certain Indians behave and think in a certain way. It made me realise how people make simplistic assumptions and draw deceptive conclusions to fit their own narratives; How people, otherwise well-mannered and fair-minded, turn unfair even merciless by subscribing to hateful ideologies and chauvinistic narratives; How historical baggage shapes our mindset. But most of all it made me realise that no matter how much a person is bigoted and biased by jingoistic feelings, he still is restless. Somehow, somewhere in his mind questions keep ringing. Maybe because of the deceptive conclusions, the antipathetic feelings, the hateful arguments, the feelings of ethnic and communal superiority, no matter how sophisticated and strong they are, still they are unable to completely silence a person’s conscience. It still prods him to ask questions of the unfair narrative that it has somehow accepted.

Rajiv Kumar, Vice-Chairman of the NITI Aayog
Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar on Thursday emphasised the need to reduce carbon footprint in urbanisation and said urban India will be powering the country’s economic growth.
Releasing a report on ‘Reforms In Urban Planning’, he said there is a compelling need to plug the gaps in urban-planning capacity in the country. Otherwise, a huge opportunity for rapid, sustainable and equitable growth would be at risk of being missed, he added. Kumar also highlighted the shortage of town planners, saying experts are needed to provided services to about 4,700 urban local bodies.

There is a need to build smart and carbon positive cities with a view to reduce carbon footprint, he noted. Speaking on the occasion, Housing and Urban Affairs Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra said urban planning holds the key for economic development and optimum utilisation of available infrastructure, especially in sectors like water, sanitation, healthcare and education.
Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said urbanisation is the driving force of the Indian economy, adding that the country has reached a turning point in its transformation. This is the first time in the history of India that the question of urban planning capacity has been dealt with in-depth, Kant said about the report.Internet Explorer Channel Network

Does posterior cortical atrophy on MRI discriminate between Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and normal aging?
James O'Donovan, Rosie Watson, Sean J Colloby, Michael J Firbank, Emma J Burton, Robert Barber, Andrew M Blamire, John T O'Brien
INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOGERIATRICS | CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS | Published : 2013
BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that posterior cortical atrophy may be a useful marker for early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is associated with less temporal lobe atrophy than AD, though posterior cortical atrophy may be greater. Therefore, we assessed whether visual rating scales for assessing posterior atrophy (PA), medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA), and ventricular enlargement (VEn) aid in the discrimination between AD, DLB, and normal aging. METHODS: T1-weighted MRI scans acquired at 3 Tesla were visually rated for PA (range 0-3), MTA (range 0-4), and VEn (range 0-3) in older subjects with AD (n = 36), DLB (n = 35), and healthy controls (n = 35)...View full abstract

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a monolayer located between the photoreceptors
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a monolayer located between the photoreceptors and the choroid, is constantly damaged by oxidative stress, particularly because of reactive oxygen species (ROS). qPCR were conducted to assess mRNA content of VEGFRs in exosomes. Neovascularization assays were performed after applying RPE exosomes into endothelial cell cultures. Our results showed that stressed RPE cells released a higher amount of exosomes than controls, with a higher expression of VEGFR in the membrane, and enclosed an extra cargo of VEGFR mRNA. Angiogenesis assays confirmed that endothelial cells increased their tube formation capacity when exposed 1446502-11-9 supplier to stressed RPE exosomes. Keywords: exosomes, 1446502-11-9 supplier retinal pigment epithelium, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, VEGF receptors Introduction Exosomes are small vesicles, between 50 and 150 nm in diameter 1, released by a number of different cell types 2, 3, 4, 5. Invaginations in the late endosome limiting membrane produce a multivesicular body (MVB) full of intraluminal vesicles 6. Once the MVB is formed, it can fuse with the cell membrane releasing its cargo to the extracellular medium, which might subsequently interact with neighbouring cells 7. As such, exosomes can be found in many corporal fluids, including blood, saliva, breast milk and even aqueous humour 8, 9, 10, 11. Exosome cargo is comprised of genetic material and proteins, making these vesicles essential in cell communication 12. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a single cell layer that separates blood vessels from photoreceptors, accomplishes a pivotal role in retinal homoeostasis 13, 14, 15. As a result of its anatomical location and function, the RPE is continuously exposed to potential cell damage from oxidative stress, specifically because of reactive oxygen species (ROS) 16. Neovascularization, or the formation of new blood vessels, is one of the most common hallmarks of blinding diseases, such as the proliferative forms of age\related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) 17, 18. Moreover, oxidative stress induces the formation 1446502-11-9 supplier of angiogenic factors, of which VEGF is most commonly known 19. Although VEGF has normal physiological functions in the retina 20, 21, elevated levels of secretion contributes to the development of new blood vessels, as seen in wet AMD and proliferative DR 22. VEGF\A, the main isoform of the protein, acts through VEGFR\1 and VEGFR\2, VEGF receptors present in endothelial cells of blood vessels 23. Moreover, it was recently suggested that ROS induce VEGF secretion, thus resulting in enhanced neovascularization 24, 25. VEGF can be released by different retinal cells, such as RPE cells 26, 27, Mller cells 28 and choroid endothelial cells 29. VEGFR\1 and \2 can be expressed in neural, glial and vascular cells 18. In fact, VEGFR\2 levels were noted to be increased in vascular elements 1446502-11-9 supplier in patients suffering DR 30. Though it is well established that neovascularization is brought upon by high VEGF levels and increased VEGFR\1 and VEGFR\2 expression, the mechanisms of such overproduction in AMD or DR are still unidentified. Moreover, oxidative stress can be promoted through ethanol treatment 31, which has been demonstrated to enhance neovascularization in different tissues 32, including the choroid 33, 34. It has been recently shown that certain exosomes 1446502-11-9 supplier are able to either promote or inhibit neovascularization 35, 36, but the mechanisms clarifying those events are poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to observe exosome secretion and alterations in exosomal cargo from stressed RPE cells and elucidate their potential role in Mdk angiogenesis. It has been suggested that damaged RPE exosomes secreted to the extracellular medium may carry a different cargo than healthy RPE exosomes. Levels of angiogenic factors, such as VEGF receptors, might be altered, which would thereby influence neighbouring endothelial cells. We have hereby demonstrated that the protein and mRNA exosomal cargo for VEGFR\1 and VEGFR\2 are increased when RPE cells are under stress, and that these exosomes may interact with endothelial cells influencing their angiogenic capability. Materials and methods Cell culture Arising retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE\19) human cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Barcelona, Spain). ARPE\19 cells were cultured as previously described 31, 37. Cells were used from 18 to 20 passages and cultured to 80C90% confluence in p100 culture well plates at a seeding density of 1 106 cells/cm2. The use of sub\confluent cell cultures.

Hopewell is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The population was 23,326 according to 2009 estimates and 23,591 at the 2010 Census. It is in Tri-Cities area of the Richmond-Petersburg region and is a portion of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the city of Hopewell with Prince George County for statistical purposes.
The city owes its existence to its site overlooking the James and Appomattox Rivers. City Point, the oldest part of Hopewell, was established in 1613 by Sir Thomas Dale. It was first known as "Bermuda City" which was changed to Charles City, lengthened to Charles City Point, and later abbreviated to City Point. (At this time, Bermuda, the Atlantic archipelago, was considered part of the Colony of Virginia and appeared on its maps.)
"Charles City Point" was in Charles City Shire when the first eight shires were established in the Colony of Virginia in 1634. Charles City Shire soon became known as Charles City County in 1637. In 1619 Samuel Sharpe and Samuel Jordan from City Point, then named Charles City, were burgesses at the first meeting of the House of Burgesses. An area of the county south of the river including City Point became Prince George County in 1703. City Point was an unincorporated town in Prince George County until the City of Hopewell annexed the Town of City Point in 1923.
During the American Civil War, Union General Ulysses S. Grant used City Point as his headquarters during the Siege of Petersburg in 1864 and 1865. Grant's headquarters, which President Lincoln visited, were located on the Eppes plantation, whose owner had used many slaves as labor before the war.
The City Point Railroad, built in 1838 between City Point and Petersburg played an important role in the campaign. It is considered the oldest portion of the Norfolk and Western Railway, now a part of Norfolk Southern.
Hopewell, part of the Eppes' plantation, was developed by DuPont Company in 1914 as Hopewell Farm, an incorporated area in Prince George County. DuPont first built a dynamite factory there, then switched to the manufacture of guncotton during World War I.
Nearly burned to the ground in the Hopewell Fire of 1915, Hopewell prospered afterward and became known as the "Wonder City". Unlike most cities in Virginia, Hopewell was never incorporated as a town but was incorporated as an independent city in 1916. It was abandoned by DuPont after World War I and briefly became a ghost town. In 1923 Tubize Corporation established a plant at the old DuPont site. The same year, the city of Hopewell annexed the neighboring town of City Point.
1935 bus tragedy
Hopewell made national news when, on December 22, 1935, a bus plunged through the open draw of the Appomattox River Drawbridge on State Route 10 just outside Hopewell's city limits. Of the 15 occupants of the bus, only one survived. Today, the modern twin spans of the Charles Hardaway Marks Bridges cross nearby.

Hopewell is the host city of large chemical plants owned by the Honeywell Corporation and Hercules Chemical as well as a paper mill owned by Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (Recently acquired by Rock Tenn). It has dealt with many environmental issues over the years, most notably the kepone debacle of the 1970s.
In 1977, Hopewell again made the national news when a tanker hit the Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge.
In 1983, Hopewell made the national news again when it was discovered that an elderly woman by the name of Evelyn Rust Wells had been held captive in her home in the low-income side of the City Point area of Hopewell. Her captors, mostly men under 18, cashed her Social Security checks at local groceries. (At the time, this was typical as the local boys and girls watched out for Ms. Wells and frequently did her grocery shopping for her.) One of the local grocers, however, eventually called the police when the boys used her check to buy beer. Ms. Wells was liberated after two months of being tied to her chair while her house was destroyed.
Although still an important industrial city, like many cities, it has faced issues of urban decay. Its middle class has largely disappeared into Prince George County, and its housing stock is dominated by rental properties and low-income housing projects.
Hopewell has seen a resurgence with renewed development of its large waterfront areas, the downtown areas, and the City Point Historical District. The city has a collection of Sears Catalog Homes, with several available for exterior viewing on a self-guided tour.
Hopewell is also home to a collection of Aladdin Kit Homes, and may have had one of the largest collections in the country at one time. Many of these Aladdin Kit Homes have been razed.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.8 square miles (28.0 km²), of which 10.2 square miles (26.5 km²) are land and 0.6 square mile (1.5 km²) is water, for a total area of 5.36% water.

The Hopewell News, operated by Lancaster Management Inc., is an 8,000 circulation thrice-weekly newspaper that covers local events . For about 80 years, the Hopewell News was a Monday-Friday afternoon paper. Facing declining circulation and ad revenue, it cut back to three times per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and later cut back again to twice weekly (Tuesday, Friday). In fall 2010, the paper expanded back to three times per week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). The paper appears to have had a vague merger with its sister publication, The News~Patriot, as its inside pages are branded "Hopewell News/News~Patriot" and its new website banner reads "Hopewell News & Patriot."

OD SUV Slugfest: Volvo XC40
Volvos have always been different and known for making safe and sensible vehicles, which are increasingly getting acclaim in India.
Styling and street presence
The XC40 is surely one of the best designed modern-day SUVs. Its proper SUV like shape and proportions are balanced and it has a purposeful stance. The styling is striking as are the bold and unmistakable front grille and beautifully detailed headlights and taillights. The sharp lines and the pointedly carved rising rear quarter glass, along with the thick C-pillar, impart a sprightly sense of strength. It may not have a dominant street presence, but absolutely stands out from the crowd.
Seating and visibility
The high seating presents a commanding view of the road ahead. The wipers energetically clean a large portion and interestingly, each wiper blade has two water spray outlets with two jets on the edge and one in the centre. This combination works methodically and clears the windscreen of any unwanted elements.
The 211mm ground clearance is outstanding and the XC40 has an all-wheel drive with modes like Comfort, Eco, Off-road, Dynamic and Individual that allow you to somewhat adapt a drive mode to your requirements. The modes change the driving characteristics, altering the response of the steering, gearbox and brakes. The off-road mode maximises traction in difficult terrain and hill-descent control is activated with start/stop being deactivated. The off-road mode can be activated only at lower speeds and if the specified speed is exceeded, another mode gets engaged.
Various inventive storage spaces demonstrate that a lot of thought has gone into the design. In fact, the front door pockets are large enough to fit a laptop or hold three 1 litre bottles! Boot space is 460 litres and the luggage area is intelligently designed to 'fit your life into your car' as Volvo says. Spare wheel is a space-saver.
Touring ability and performance
The engine packs more punch than the specs suggest and the XC40 is an agreeable touring partner. The impressive fuel economy results in a range of about 700km, despite the smallish 54 litre tank.
The XC40 feels secure and the AWD and off-road mode appear to have been engineered more for safety than speed, as the timings suggest. It's got good brakes, handles well and feels stable and confident even in the slush, but is not a lot of fun to drive.
Price: Rs 55.14 lakh (on-road, Mumbai)
Engine type: 2.0D/190PS/400Nm
Fuel Economy: 14.62kmpl
Fuel capacity and Range: 71l/1050km

Ground Clearance: 211mm

[Paleopsych] NYT: In New York, Power of DNA Spurs Call to Abolish Statute of Limitations for Rape

Power of DNA Spurs Call to Abolish Statute of Limitations for Rape
By JULIA PRESTON
It was his eyes. She was flipping through a newspaper, and suddenly
his eyes were staring at her from a police photograph in the crime
pages. Even before she read the headline, she felt shock. Then nausea.
"The way he came at me with that knife, I can't forget those eyes,"
she said, recalling the stranger who climbed through her Manhattan
apartment window one night in late 1972 and raped her.
The man's photograph, published last April, brought it all back in an
instant for Stefanie Aubry, the victim. It brought back her agonizing
decision to submit silently so he would not harm her two young
daughters, asleep in the same room. It revived her furious anger -
even though the crime happened more than three decades ago.
Ms. Aubry learned from news accounts that the man's name was Fletcher
A. Worrell and that he was accused, based on DNA evidence, of a
strikingly similar rape in the same area of Manhattan just seven
months after her attack. Certain that he was the one who had assaulted
her, Ms. Aubry called the Manhattan district attorney.
She was one of six victims of decades-old unsolved rapes who contacted
New York prosecutors after Mr. Worrell's police photo was released
last spring, describing the marrow-deep chill of recognition they felt
when they saw his face.
But the only thing certain at this point is that Mr. Worrell, 59, who
has never been a suspect in any of those attacks, can never be
prosecuted for them. New York's five-year state statute of limitations
for rape has long since run out. The victims will not get a chance to
prove their suspicions in court, nor will Mr. Worrell get a chance to
prove them wrong.
Prosecutors can only lend an ear to the victims, who say they are
living with unhealed wounds, as though the rapes happened weeks ago.
"It was one tale of horror after another," said Martha Bashford, the
assistant district attorney who fielded the calls. "I take notes and
try to make sure it becomes part of the record. But otherwise, there
is nothing I can do."
City officials say Mr. Worrell's case provides a stark example of why
New York's 40-year-old statute of limitations for sexual assault cases
has become obsolete. Since he was arrested last year, Mr. Worrell has
been linked by DNA to a decades-long trail of predation. In November,
a jury convicted him in the 1973 rape of Kathleen Ham in Chelsea. DNA
matches have tied him to at least 21 other rapes in New Jersey and
Mr. Worrell's lawyer, Michael F. Rubin, declined to comment on the
cases of the six victims who came forward after his client's picture
was published, saying Mr. Worrell had not been legally implicated in
any of them. But he disputed the idea that DNA testing had made the
statute of limitations outdated.
The statute "ensures timely prosecution when memories are still fresh,
and the advent of DNA technology hasn't changed that," Mr. Rubin said.
The arrest of Mr. Worrell in Ms. Ham's case was a lucky exception for
the prosecutors. A trial for her rape that Mr. Worrell faced in 1974
ended in a hung jury. He jumped bail soon after, so a warrant was
issued for his arrest. It was discovered last year in a background
check when Mr. Worrell tried to buy a shotgun in Georgia. When
prosecutors went to their old files, they found Ms. Ham's underpants
stuffed in a folder. Traces of semen on the underwear matched Mr.
The prospects for justice for the six women who believe they also were
Mr. Worrell's victims are remote. The assaults happened in the 1970's,
two decades before DNA testing became common forensic practice. The
law at the time required eyewitness corroboration of a victim's
testimony and proof that she had put up "earnest" resistance, making
rape cases hard for the police to resolve and discouraging detectives
from investing time and resources in them.
The six victims told prosecutors that the police did not collect
fingerprints or other evidence from the crime scene, and in most cases
did not send them for medical examinations.
"I didn't feel like anybody made a big deal about it," Ms. Aubry said
of the police who answered her 911 call. Now 57, Ms. Aubry lives on
Staten Island and works as an administrator at a medical center. In
November 1972, she says, she was a long-distance telephone operator
making $2.91 an hour.
Just as the attacker did in Ms. Ham's rape, the man who attacked Ms.
Aubry crept in darkness up a rear fire escape and through an open
window. Ms. Aubry lived with her daughters, 2 and 3 years old, on the
third floor of a building on East Third Street in Manhattan.
Ms. Aubry recalls that the man brazenly switched on the light before
he jumped on her bed clutching her kitchen carving knife, threatening
to kill the girls if she screamed. She stayed quiet, and the girls
She called 911 as soon as he left, and two police officers were there
in minutes, asking questions and taking notes. But they never sent her
for a medical exam, she said, and she showered immediately, washing
away crucial evidence. The next morning she pored over the precinct's
books of sexual assault suspects. But the eyes she could not forget
were not there.
Retelling the story in her living room recently, Ms. Aubry at first
seemed calm. Suddenly she was shuddering, crying, struggling to clear
her throat. "It never leaves your mind completely," she said. "There
are times, I could be just sitting alone, or in my car driving, it
would come back into my head. And the anger comes right back with it."
Joyce Doyle, another woman who called the district attorney after
seeing Mr. Worrell's picture, said she was attacked in June 1973 in
her apartment on East 31st Street. The intruder came through the
living room window, threw a cloth over her head and "was dragging me
around by the hair."
He tied her hands with a pillowcase, she recalled. But when he left
her alone for a moment she twisted her legs together like a vine. He
was not able to force them apart, and he finally fled without raping
Although the man had spent 20 minutes rifling through her closets and
drawers, Ms. Doyle said the police did not collect fingerprints. If
they had, she noted, they could have compared them with Mr. Worrell's
prints when he was arrested three weeks later, on June 26, in the rape
of Ms. Ham.
Perhaps because Ms. Doyle thwarted the rape, she said she was not as
emotionally scarred as some victims. "I was only crazy for two years,
instead of 32 years," said Ms. Doyle, now 68 and a retired lawyer. But
that did not lessen the impact when she spotted Mr. Worrell's
photograph on television during his trial in November.
"I just looked up from my computer," Ms. Doyle said, "and I said, 'My
God, it's him.' "
Another woman who called about Mr. Worrell said she had been raped in
November 1973 by a man who sneaked into her Upper East Side apartment
when she left her door ajar to take out the garbage.
"It kicked me in the stomach" to see Mr. Worrell's picture in the
paper, she told Ms. Bashford, the prosecutor. A fourth victim also
told Ms. Bashford that she was sure Mr. Worrell was the man who raped
her at knifepoint in an East Village apartment later in 1973.
Under New York state law, rape is a B felony, on a par with burglary
and grand larceny. The five-year statute can be extended to 10 years
if the perpetrator's whereabouts are unknown. Adopted in 1970, the
statute is intended to protect defendants against stale prosecution in
which evidence is lost and witnesses have faded recollections or are
no longer available.
But city officials argue that DNA, offering the possibility of a
scientifically precise identification of the criminal many years after
the crime, has changed the legal calculus.
"DNA doesn't have any of the human frailties," said John Feinblatt,
the justice coordinator for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "It's time for
law to catch up to science."
Since reform of New York's rape laws began in the late 1970's, the
police have more systematically collected evidence known as a rape
kit, including samples of semen and hair taken from different areas of
a victim's body. The F.B.I. maintains a national databank of DNA
profiles taken from crime scene evidence and from convicted sex
In New York, bills offered by State Senator Dean G. Skelos, a
Republican, to abolish the statute of limitations for rape have been
repeatedly adopted by the Senate over the last decade, but have not
passed the Assembly. A bill the Bloomberg administration offered last
spring to eliminate the statute is awaiting action in the legislative
session beginning in January.
"Many criminals got away with it because they simply disappeared,"
said Assemblyman Mark Weprin, a Queens Democrat who sponsored the
The Manhattan district attorney, Robert M. Morgenthau, has proposed
elevating rape to a Class A felony, like murder, kidnapping and arson,
which do not have statutes of limitations. He noted that 26 states
have abolished such statutes.
"The victim doesn't ever get over it," Mr. Morgenthau said, "so
there's no reason why the perpetrator should be home free."
Defense attorneys say that the statute serves to spur timely action by
police. It "has been working for decades, ensuring prompt
investigation by the police and the prosecuting authorities," said Ray
Kelly, a veteran lawyer who is the president of the New York State
Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. None of the proposed reforms
would be retroactive, so they would offer no relief to victims like
She remains haunted by the image of Mr. Worrell and the thought of the
crime. "It stays in my mind," Ms. Aubry said, hunched over on her
living-room couch. "It keeps me always on guard. You just have to
leave it to God and go on living. You have to keep your eyes open and
your doors locked."

The good oil: ours is as good as theirs
Where wine snobs love to wax lyrical about tobacco or raspberry flavours, olive oil judges talk in terms of cut grass or green tomatoes.
They can also explain the scientific difference between virgin and extra virgin olive oil (extra virgin has less than 0.8per cent free fatty acids while virgin can have up to 2per cent) and why olive oil gets judged in blue glasses (because colour shouldn't be a factor in assessing quality).
Yesterday the judges at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show were also spruiking the quality of Australian olive oil in the wake of recent criticism that it is flat, generic and lacks complexity of flavour because people in the industry are not properly trained.
Robert Colquhoun, a barrister and Mudgee olive grower, said he had recently tasted medal-winning oils from the world's biggest olive oil producers, Italy, Greece and Spain, "and our oils are at least as good as all those winners".
Australia's importation and consumption of olive oil has exploded in recent years and domestic plantings have also boomed due to tax minimisation schemes. The Australian Olive Association estimates there are seven to nine million olive trees in the ground - mostly planted in the past 10 years - and up to 3000 commercial growers. Australian olive oil production was only 2500 tonnes last year. This year 4000 to 6000 tonnes are expected and 30,000 tonnes is anticipated by 2010 - almost as much as is imported.
While there are numerous categories of olive oil, almost 100 per cent of Australian production is premium extra virgin. The chairman of judges, Grahame Latham, said a good oil needed to have the right balance of pungency, bitterness and fruitiness.
Another judge, Peter Olson, from the Department of Primary Industries' olive oil testing laboratory in Wagga Wagga, said he expected to see some silver and gold awarded again this year and also insisted that Australian oils could "easily" hold their own against any foreign competitors.
The food show continues this week with branded beef, bread, cake, pie, aquaculture and deli-meat judging.

Random pressure and density oscillations in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) often lead to degradation of numerical stability and accuracy of the entire simulation. Shepard filter is the most commonly used technique to alleviate such an issue, but the major problem with this method is that it is highly sensitive to the smoothing frequency and tends to over-smooth the density field when applied too frequently. To overcome this problem, a new density correction method was proposed by Seo for 2D problems, where density of each particle is reinitialized using particle-attached element and the corresponding shape functions. As an extension to his work, this paper presents a 3D implementation of the new density correction method. Similar to the 2D method which uses a 4-node square element, a 8-node cubic element with linear shape functions are employed for interpolation of the density field within the smoothing domain. Variable smoothing domain size is selected for each particle in each smoothing step, which enables the simulation to avoid over-smoothing and have converged solutions regardless of the smoothing frequency. The major portion of the calculation is carried out using a graphics processing unit (GPU) for faster simulation and three benchmark problems are solved to verify the feasibility of the method in 3D.


LP - Various Artists - Brown Acid: Ten Heavy Hits Vol. 1 (RED VINYL)
THE RUFF GUIDE TO BROWN ACID! RED VINYL IS LIMITED TO 92 COPIES EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FROM PERMANENT!
In the span of just five years, we’ve released ten editions of the Brown Acid series, all of them packed with brilliant long-lost, rare, and unreleased hard rock, heavy psych, and proto-metal tracks from the ‘60s-‘70s. With so much essential material to choose from, if you’re on a limited budget or you don’t know where to start, this record is for you! We’ve collected ten powerful tracks, one from each edition, here to provide your first dose. We know you’ll be back for more.
With each Trip, we unearth even more incredible bangers that somehow eluded popularity in their day For every classic rock mainstay like Black Sabbath and Grand Funk Railroad, there are hundreds of great bands who, for a variety of reasons, were previously lost to the sands of time. Brown Acid seeks to rectify that, with all tracks painstakingly licensed legitimately and ensuring that the original artists are paid. As the series editions grow higher into the double digits, here’s a quick lysergic drop to get you up to speed.
Zekes, led by the songwriting duo of brothers Lenny & Kenny Gayle, opens the collection with the slithering buzzsaw guitars and hard-rock howl of "Box", a monster that gives Blue Cheer a run for their leaden blues. The 1970 track is originally the B-side to the band’s “Leaving You” 45 rpm single on the Beverly Hills label.
The squealing guitar harmonies and Sabbath plod of Ash's "Midnight Wish” are a psychedelic prog-fest from 1971 by this Australian quartet, one of few bands with the foresight to have made a music video way back then. The Factory’s “Time Machine” serves ample Rod Serling sci-fi paranoia alongside an insistent guitar riff, reverb soaked drums and one of the most psychotic sounding vibrato vocal lines this side of The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird.”
Daingerfield, Texas group Kanaan’s 1969 fuzz-drenched ripper “Leave It” is a rousing anthem of boogie rock groove and wailing vocals. You may be familiar with George Brigman's psychedelic punk masterpiece Jungle Rot, but you don't know Split until you've heard the charmingly disjointed bedroom-fi production of "Blowin' Smoke.”
Truth & Janey are well known for their incredible 1976 LP No Rest For The Wicked. But their proto-metal 45-only single “Midnight Horseman” released four years earlier is a fantastic, formerly long-lost wonder. Blizzard was Rod McClure's high school band, but you couldn't possibly guess that teenagers recorded this heavy slab of obscure Oklahoma rage in 1973, sounding like a hypothetical MC5/Hendrix collaboration.
Luke and the Apostles ain't no Xian group, even though this 45 is of biblical proportions. "Not Far Off" is a tight and slinky jam sure to give your significant other bedroom eyes. The Doors and Elektra Records' producer Paul Rothchild called the Luke and the Apostles LP the "greatest album [he] never got to make.”
Indiana rockers Ice’s stunning full length debut languished unreleased for 50 years until RidingEasy issued The Ice Age in 2020. Back in 1970, the band recorded 10 original songs at 8-Track Studios in Chicago, only to break up shortly thereafter. Two of the tracks were eventually released as a 45 in 1972, but confusingly under a different band name, Zukus! “Running High” deftly balances wayward psychedelic pop and troglodyte thunder.
Louisville, KY quartet Conception's excellent revision of Blue Cheer's "Babylon" adds heavy phaser effect on the guitar and a more driving rhythm to make the song entirely their own. Lead guitar and high harmony vocals by Charlie Day (not to be confused with the Sunny Philadelphian actor) are assertive and commanding as he implores listeners onward to hallucinogenic nirvana.
