In a very interesting find, this is a site of atheists (and agnostics) who are pro-life.
I think their arguments are (mostly) excellent, though of course it would be interesting to a) see how non-pro-life atheists would respond to them, and b) converse with them concerning things like how they determine (judge/establish/discover) the nature of human worth/value/dignity.
The notion that humans are somehow inherently different from other animal species is one that is rooted in religious, rather than rational, thought. I see no rational basis for your implied contention that human embryos are any more valuable than cattle embryos. Your attempt to place humans on another level is logically inconsistent and ultimately undefendable without resort to religious arguments.
That's pretty cool. As a side note, I recently saw a blog containing pro-life arguments by a young lady who describes herself as: a feminist, a libertarian and an atheist. She doesn't really fit ANY of the stereotypes.
What the hell is the news value in this? Surely there is no necessary contradiction between being an atheist (not believing in a supernatural god) and opposing abortion. How can we say that one excludes the other? Similarly why assume that a theist is naturally an opponent of abortion – surely there are plenty of theists who have used this method?
After all Christopher Hitchens (of very forceful God is not Great fame) has often publicly expressed his opposition to abortion and non one has expressed surprise at that.
I can't see what the fuss is here.
Also a random aside: Does anyone but me get annoyed at the phrase "pro-life"?
Dale, in point A you use the term "non pro-life". Isn't this normally regarded as pro-choice?
Pro-life is short for pro-liferate religious beliefs.
I wasn't aware that Hitchens was 'pro-life' (I hadn't heard him comment either way – thanks for informing me). I'd always wondered that surely there must be at least some atheists that were, but hadn't seen any until then. So that's why it caught my interest. I'd also love to know if any atheists reason against homosexual actions (same-gender sexual stimulation to be specific)? I suppose there's no reason why an atheist couldn't be so inclined? And just to clarify, theists are always against abortion, though some/many say it could in some cases be the lesser of two evils.
In a sense, everyone from all sides are all both 'pro life' and 'pro choice'. Clearly the problem with those terms are that they imply that others are either 'anti life' (pro death!) or 'anti choice' (pro force!), which isn't the case :) I admit I used the phraseology reflected in the website's title, though I do recognise the problems with the terms.
Most of all, I find the conversation between the perspective of the 'godless prolifers' website and the perspective reflected in comment 1 (from their guestbook) to be very interesting.
It's a tactic of attempting to encourage division among the 'enemy' to weaken them. Both theists and atheists are guilty of it but I think it distracts from the core questions.
i.e. when creationists say that Gould's punctuated equilibrium concept goes against the concept of gradual evolution it doesn't get us any closer to establishing the real point which is whether evolution exists. And when atheists point out that it is 'interesting' that people like Geering don't believe in a literal resurrection in contrast to most other Christians it doesn't actually address the question whether Jesus literally rose from the dead. And when you say it is 'interesting' that there are atheists who think that abortion is wrong it doesn't deal with the question of whether it is actually wrong and what the reasons are these beliefs.
The only thing that unites atheists is a lack of a belief in a god/gods. It's hardly surprising that people who don't believe in the concept of a god can be divided in their opinions on abortion, politics, charity, crime, etc, etc.
I find it particularly fascinating that equestrians are divided on the topic of abortion. Discuss.
Wow. So I'm not allowed (as a person interested in moral issues) to be genuinely interested in that discussion? So I'm automatically trying to use disagreement to weaken the atheist position?
Could it not be possible that I'm actually interested in the reasons/arguments for these beliefs? In particular, I'd be interested to see how the various atheists who comment here would respond to those points of view (a bit like an atheist might genuinely be interested in how different Christians respond to an issue of biblical interpretation or soemthing); whether they would align with the perspective/argument of those on the website, with the perspective/argument of the 'pro-choice' position, or another kind of response.
Yes, I do think there could be questions raised about whether or not one's moral argument is consistent with their worldview, but at least for the moment, I'm interested in the argument.
I do note that the tone of the words quoted in comment 1 are essentially challenging the 'godless pro-lifers' that they are using 'religious' rather than 'rational' reasoning. I would have thought that some atheists here might want to defend the 'rationality' of the argument of the 'godless pro-lifers'?
Dale – I actually don't feel that I should spend time looking at their arguments. For a start the site hasn't been touched for over 2 years (and the forum for over 5 years). So hardly a live issue.
Secondly, it's an old discussion for which I can see (and have experienced) both sides. I myself have gone from someone who would have opposed abortion to someone who is not happy about it but accepts it in many situations.
One of the reason I turned away from blanket (or almost blanket) opposition was the experience of attending a meeting (around 1971) where the pros and cons of a law change were being discussed. I was shocked to find I was on the same side as a very hateful and hysterical man who justified his position on biblical grounds. Hardly a rational basis.
I personally feel that many of the people who opposed abortion at that meeting (and who thought similarly to me) have in the intervening period adjusted their thinking. Realising the situation is more complex – and especially gaining an appreciation of the changing life of women.
I think discussion of abortion as such is pointless these day. Legal abortion is here to stay (or at least I hope so realising how many women have lost their lives when it hasn't been available). There are of course reasonable debates to be had around limits and availability – but I don't think a blanket oppositional viewpoint helps with those.
Where we will probably have to have those more absolutist debates is around issues like stem cell research, use of discarded IVF blastocysts, genetic testing of blastocysts and embryos, etc.
Discussion of abortion is hardly pointless – ever. It truly is a life and death topic – definitely a 'live' issue. Few other topics have this kind of urgency. It all matters, and it should all be up for discussion.
I'd still love to hear your specific views on the specific question about whether or not the perspective/argumentation of that website reflects 'rational' or 'religious' reasoning, etc.
When you ask 'whether or not the perspective/argumentation of that website reflects 'rational' or 'religious' reasoning, etc.', what do you mean? Are you suggesting that religion and rationality are mutually exclusive?
Firstly, I cant see any practical difference between worldview and religion – they are synonyms. Both affect how one behaves, and what someone REALLY believes is revealed in their behaviour. A persons worldview is their realized religion.
Thus, I say that no-one speaks from an irreligious perspective.
And what of rational reasoning? What is that? And what is irrational reasoning (an oxymoron)? I think what you mean is whether the arguments put forward are internally and externally coherent???
The views expressed on the site seem logically consistent with a humanist perspective heavily influenced by Christo-Judaic ethics (i.e. anyone who has grown up in the USA). It seems the US constitution plays the significant role in the positions held by the site.
The key point of difference with a staunch pro-choice position seems to be that the site takes the preborn baby to be a full inheritor of the constitution rights afforded humans.
Having taken this position everything seems to flow logically.
I suppose the polarizing is what happens when its lawyers who become judges – the rules dominate, rather than using some wise old people to make case-by-case determinations.
Life can be too gray to live only in black and white.
My pro-life stance comes from a decision I made that after implantation into the uterine wall the fetus can develop and hence must be afforded protection that he/she can have opportunity to make choices.
I suspect ultimately it is these 'external' factors that influence the final position of an individual. Not necessarily anything to do with abortion itself (or any ethical stand really).
Interesting stuff, Wayne. I think there certainly is a way to be both pro-choice and pro-life.
I had never seen it that way – it's a bit like saying that all Catholics are opposed to contraception when we know many, if not most, use artificial contraception methods.
I am not commenting on who killed him or why. It could have been a rabid atheist who killed him because he was a theist! We don't yet know.
it's a bit like saying that all Catholics are opposed to contraception when we know many, if not most, use artificial contraception methods.
No, I don't think it's like that at all. Anti-contraception Catholics using contraception is a matter of saying one thing and doing another; while theists who see abortion as the lesser or two evils are not saying one thing and doing another.
And sorry, but the horrible news of George Tiller's murder does not over turn my statement about theists being against abortion. His case is anything but representative, that's why it's so controversial (in other words, only if no other christians/theists thought it an outrage that he carried-out abortions, would begin to be in tension with my statement).
That's a bit extreme isn't it? There's always going to be one who is outraged about everything.
Whatever… The point still stands. Quite apart from his sad and needless murder, George Tiller's abortion practices (and I'm presuming views) are miles from even beginning to be representative of a Christian view of abortion, and your reference to him was opportunistic.
So, it's opportunistic to point out that you had made an unsupportable sweeping claim about theism and abortion??
Similarly why assume that a theist is naturally an opponent of abortion – surely there are plenty of theists who have used this method?
That was not opportunistic – that's just a simple/basic clarification.
in 9/11 it did not matter if there were pregnant women. That was no carefully considered. They just flew the planes in anyways. But they sure did believe in a "god" . . . they just call him Allah.

OMG! TV's most popular family might be back soon!
Yes, we're talking about the most happening and undoubtedly the most popular family of Indian television-- the Sarabhais.
If rumours are to be believed, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai might be back on the small screen soon and we're sure there are many like us who were eagerly awaiting a new season of the show- even though director Deven Bhojani said back in 2012 that the series wouldn't be returning.
But a picture that was posted by producer JD Majethia on Twitter yesterday has been circulating in the media circles and has sparked rumours of a possible comeback of the family.
And, interestingly the producer had captioned the picture: "Sarabhai family at Satish ji 's place.... Some good news for fans on its way."

While we really don't know if there would be an announcement soon, looks like the producer and director duo (JD Majethia and Devan Bhojani) are working on something and that's why they posted the picture. JD Majethia's new show Khidki will also be out soon!
The Sarabhais became a household name after they charmed one and all with their antics and uniques punchlines. Whether it was Roshesh(played by Rajesh Kumar), Indravadan (played by Satish Shah), Monisha(played by Rupali Ganguly), Sahil (played by Sumit Raghavan) or Maya (played by Ratna Pathak Shah), all characters stood out for their unique performance and chutzpah!
We really can't wait to watch the show again!

Q: Lighting component not re-rendered if I invoke '$A.util.X' outside the component itself I have a global variable hideBanner inside a Visualforce page,
When a user clicks a variable which will toogle hideBanner value.
As you can see, I saved the lightning component JS object to compHdlr
In order for the later updates use.(Get rid of delete the DOM and create a new component inside the page again)
However, the addClass and removeClass just works on and off.
Is that because of the lifecycle problem or scope problem?
JS code in an Visualforce page
    function initLoginForm() {
        $Lightning.use("c:lightningLoginApp", function () {
            $Lightning.createComponent("c:sample",
                {},
                "customLogin",
                function (cmp) {
                    compHdlr = cmp;
                    renderForm(cmp);
                });
        });
    }

    function renderForm(cmp){
        ...
        if (bannerFlag === false) {
            $A.util.addClass(banner, "hideBanner");
        } else {
            $A.util.removeClass(banner, "hideBanner");
        }
        cmp.rerender()
        cmp.render()
    }

A: I think it's a lifecycle issue.
Try this:
function renderForm(cmp){
   $A.getCallback(function() {
        if (bannerFlag === false) {
            $A.util.addClass(banner, "hideBanner");
        } else {
            $A.util.removeClass(banner, "hideBanner");
        }
        cmp.rerender()
        cmp.render()
   });
}

I'm pretty sure the scope is not a problem as you always get the calling scope when calling a sub function.
Also, you would have had some other $A is undefined error by this point.

Who knew Lego bricks could be a tool for visualizing and creating one's future?
For Ina Bacud, Legos are more than just child's play.
Ina describes herself as a Co-Storyteller, someone who helps people describe "what is" and open up possibilities for "what if's." She does this through her work as a certified Lego Serious Play facilitator.

According to the Lego website, Serious Play is a facilitation methodology that fosters creative thinking for businesses using Lego bricks. Serious Play participants work through imagined scenarios with Lego constructions. Based on Lego's research, this kind of hands-on, minds-on learning helps deepen their participants' reflection process and support effective dialogue within teams.
Aside from conducting Serious Play sessions for organizations, Ina has adopted the same process to help individuals and couples make sense of the present and visualize their future. She calls her meetings "Lego Life Builds." Upon being asked a series of questions, participants create Lego sets, or "builds," that describe how they would imagine their answers would be.
In one of her builds, Pat expressed her desire to be able to walk again. The next day, she was able to do so, after being bedridden for two weeks. Ina saw the potential of creating builds from this incident. Pat had an intention, put her mind to it — and she was able to achieve it.
One family discussion involved Pat's funeral arrangements. Instead of making her choose between having a burial or being cremated, Ina asked her mother to build what she would describe as a "happy death," and Pat was able to decide how her physical body would be laid to rest.
Ina encourages her clients to "play hard and play from the heart" to find the answers they seek. "Sometimes, my sessions take hours because I want them to narrow it down." She recognizes her role as someone who helps form people's stories and discover the paths they need to take.
According to Ina, times of deep change and challenges have molded her to be kinder and bolder.
"I am lucky to have mentors, coaches, family, and friends who helped me make sense of what I was going through." Her conversations with them helped her dig deep into her soul and find clarity into who she was: the heroine of her own life story.
Through Life Builds, she invites people to do the same.
By creating safe spaces for people to tell their stories, Ina encourages people to find healing and meaning in the stories of their lives, choose their own adventures, and be the heroes of their own stories.

Tata readies to truck in tough times
While the market leader celebrates the rollout of its two-millionth truck from the Jamshedpur plant, the market slowdown and entry of new rivals pose a key challenge for India's venerable truck brand, says Sumantra Barooah.
By Autocar Pro News Desk 04 Mar 2013 9616 Views Share -
Tata Motors' mother commercial vehicle plant at Jamshedpur had reason to cheer on February 19. On that day, a bright yellow Prima 2528 tipper rolled out as the two-millionth vehicle from the plant from where the manufacturing of trucks began way back in 1954.
On hand to witness this milestone was Tata Motors' managing director, Karl Slym, who has taken the top job just five months ago. "We are proud that this mother plant from where our operations started, has released its two-millionth truck. It is a plant that we have modernised over the years and today, it produces our most technologically rich and high-performing civilian and defence products that cater to customers across the world."
Two million and tough times
The two-millionth truck rollout comes at a time when India's commercial vehicle industry is experiencing its toughest times in recent years. The slowdown has resulted in a 30 percent decrease in the medium and heavy commercial vehicles, the mainstay of the company. Sales have been falling, with OEMs facing the brunt of low demand and delayed purchases as a result of high interest rates and weak demand for freight. Adding to this is the virtual closure of the mining industry in key states that has affected sales of tippers. Tata Motors, which has a 56 percent overall CV market share, saw its January 2013 overall sales grow six percent to 42,571 units. But that growth has been due to robust sales of LCVs, up 24 percent, led by the Ace range (January 2013: 33,849 units), a 55 percent increase over the 21,831 units sold in January 2012.
However, M&HCV sales fell 52 percent in January 2013 to 8,722 units (January 2012: 18,338 units). Tata's cumulative CV sales in the domestic market for 2012-13 till January 2013,were 432,941 (LCVs: 315,041/ M&HCVs: 117,900), up 15.26 percent (April 2011-January 2012: 375,632). M&HCV sales, however, were a worrying 29 percent down.
Slackening demand for Tata's M&HCV range has led to a cut in production and the company is undertaking a review of its expansion plans. "We are currently utilising 50-70 percent of capacity at both the Jamshedpur and Lucknow plants together," says Ravi Pisharody, executive director, Tata Motors. The two plants have a combined capacity of 234,000 units per annum (Jamshedpur: 144,000/Lucknow, buses and trucks: 90,000). With the cut in production, Tata has also gone for block closures and reduction in its workforce. The Jamshedpur facility has 5,600 workmen as well as a 'flexible pool' of 5,100.
During the lean production period, teams from the 'flexible pool' work in alternate months at the plant. If the economy does not pick up, Tata Motors, and its peers in the industry, face the problem of overcapacity. Speaking to a group of journalists invited to witness the two-millionth rollout, Pisharody says, "Even if the economy grows at five percent for a long period, there will be overcapacity." He adds, "Unfortunately, no green shoots (in the economy) are visible yet. The current downturn is longer than the one in 2008. It is being compared to the downturn of 1999-2000, which took a long time to recover."
Slym says the Indian government needs to be seized of the huge decline in sales of M&HCVs, which are the termed as the barometer of the economy and play a key role stimulating growth. If a revival is to take place, the government needs to get its act together on its infrastructure-related spend as well as the mining sector. Meanwhile, Tata Motors is investing effort and monies in its R&D and new product development programme. Slym reveals that just over half of Tata Motors' Rs 3,000 crore R&D budget for 2012-13 has been earmarked for the CV business. In line with its earlier-announced plan, the company says it has launched 25 new offerings (including variants) in the CV market in 2012-13. Also on the cards is a refresh of the old Tata workhorse – the 407 – but no dates are out as to its launch.
While M&HCV sales are down significantly, Tata Motors is banking on its "robust downward cyclical portfolio" of LCVs and pick-ups to cushion the fall. It sold 225,000 vehicles in the LCV market of 383,000 for the April-January period in 2012-13. That is 56,500 more LCVs compared to the same period during the previous year.
In tune with the times
Meanwhile, Tata Motors is now gearing up for the launch of the Ultra range of LCV and intermediate CVs. The first of these products (5 to 14 tonnes) is expected during the second half of 2013. The range will be powered by a new-generation 3-litre (138 hp) and 5-litre (168 hp) common-rail 16-valve engines that promise to offer higher aggregate life, longer service intervals and low NVH levels.
At the same time, the company's portfolio is seeing a variety of iterations. For example, the LPT 3723 launched last year has seen good demand and may replace the LPT 3118. Its semi-forward cabin is also going through some major iterations.
The Prima range, at the top bracket of Tata's portfolio, is also gradually gaining traction. The introduction of the LX range which comes equipped with fewer features and a different engine, and a 10 percent hike over the standard range, in September last year, has also helped drive sales. In the defence segment, the company's vehicles are set to get some added oomph with the addition of the LPTA 5252 12X12. The model will undergo trials by the Indian Army which typically takes a year as the army tests the vehicles in various climatic conditions.
Along with the truck portfolio, the Jamshedpur plant is also undergoing a makeover. The plant, spread over 603 acres, has been renovated in sections for greater energy efficiency and productivity. It houses many facilities including those of Tata Cummins, TML Drivelines, Taco and Tata Technologies.
Focus on R&D
Meanwhile, Tata Motors continues to invest in R&D. It has set up a chassis dynamometer and the eight-poster testing beds at an investment of around Rs 80 crore. The dynamometer, for example, can test vehicles ranging from 3.5 tonnes to 50 tonnes. The engineering and research centre within the plant also has a digital prototype lab that enables product development and design benchmarking.
The facility also helps in fabrication of proto parts for chassis and BIW (Body in White). If the eight-poster test bed simulates tests that provide field data to validate components and test endurance levels, the off-road test track located outside the plant subjects the trucks to real-world driving conditions. It can test vehicles for various applications like mining, construction and defence. Along with different road conditions, the track consists of 15- and 20deg gradient tracks. The next set of gradient tracks will be of 30 and 45 degrees. The test track remains a busy hub as multiple trucks go through the paces through the day.
The Indian economy is in a slow gear and so are businesses like M&HCVs that are directly dependent on it. The emergence of new global competitors like Daimler and Scania is making things tougher for incumbents like Tata. The industry now faces a myriad challenges which include a shortage of trained truck drivers and the prospect of higher diesel prices even as India's road network has expanded in leaps and bounds as a result of the prime minister's Golden Quadrilateral project. For an economy that grew five percent last year, investments in roads and infrastructure will give the CV industry a much-needed stimulus.
But for now, it is time to uncork the champagne at Tata Motors. The two- millionth truck rollout at Jamshedpur strikes a positive note. Interestingly, the first truck from this plant had 1313 as its registration number. And in 2013, the plant rolls out the two millionth. Thirteen seems to be special for Tata Motors, Jamshedpur.

Before receiving surgery the Patients receive anesthesia, which renders them unable to feel the pain. The anesthesia effects last for the whole time of the operation. The majority of the men and women who have bypass surgery are linked to a bypass pump or a heart-lung bypass machine that does the work of the heart while the heart is stopped during operation. The machine circulates the blood and adds oxygen to it. Another technique of operation does not use the machine but instead allows the bypass to be created while the heart remains beating.
Once the patients are the surgeon cuts an incision 10 inches long at the middle of the chest. Afterward, the breastbone is split to allow the surgeon to find the heart and aorta. The valve replacement singapore surgeon will take an artery or vein from another part of the patients' bodies and use it to make a graft around the artery's obstructed area. Often the saphenous vein in the leg is used – an incision is made along the inside of the leg between the groin and ankle to reduce the vein, which is then sewn to the coronary artery on one side and to an opening at the aorta on the other.

Yes Mary Ann although I would say the dichotomy in Spanish culture goes back a long time. Two things I read gave me an idea of the problem: Historia de los Heterodoxos Españoles (Menéndez y Pelayo) and El Liberalismo es Pecado (Fr. Sardá i Salvany) a prophetic book one can read on line here. One can surmise in this very different books the problem of the "two Spains" one of whom is Hispania the daughter of Rome, and the other the "Cainite" Spain fixated in eternal discontent and self destruction.
Menendez y Pelayo presents the idea that Spain can only be understood from Rome onwards. It begins its ascent from the tribal mud by following the light of Rome. Then when Rome is gone Spain is preserved by the Catholic Church. The husk of Rome has been consumed and the Church is now fully exposed as the preserver of the identity received by Spain in the glorious days of the Empire. That idea is historically perfect and perfectly easy to see.
The other Spain, the Cainite Spain, is defined by a historical force that runs in the opposite direction. The atomization of Spain in a number of regions like a post-Tito Yugoslavia is an unconscious intent to return to the days before the Roman invasion. Negating the Roman-Christian past is essential to it.
That force appears today in the form of Socialism and Regionalism. The two uneasy partners that are destroying Spain idea after idea, abortion after abortion with the intensity that makes the old barbarians look tame.
Unfortunately the Church of Spain has decided to play safe. The bishops are silent, the King is acquiescent, a mere tin crown presiding over the killings and destruction and in fact approving it and validating it with his own dissipation, poor thing.
The poet Antonio Machado wrote "one of the two Spains is going to steal your heart." May be this movie tried to represent that tension. "If the scansion of a line meant all the phonetic facts, no two lines would scan the same way" said C. S. Lewis and likewise I think the gravity of Spain's fate is way too complex to be represented by the distinct destinies of any two men.
The fight rages in fact inside the heart of every Spaniard, it is a problem of near biblical intensity, like the idea of St. Paul that both man and creation are awaiting the final redemption and yet the devil has temporarily become the god of this age. The devil is out there but sin is also in our members pulling us down. In that sense, the struggle of Spain is no different from the struggle of the whole human race.
Roland Joffe's film is a nice try in the tradition of For Whom the Bell Tolls but the definitive work on this theme is still in the future.
There is at least an echo of this at work in Mexico (and I think most or all of the rest of Latin America) of the urge to return to a "pre-Columban" era of human sacrifice, as a more "pristine" form of human existence, before those nasty Europeans forced their Christianity on them. The La Raza to "restore" the U. S. Southwest to Mexican control is a demonically retrograde tie in.

Q: Synaptic touchpad on laptop not working I'm using a laptop with built-in touch-pad that works in Windows 7. But after I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it's not working now.

A: This seems to be a bug in 12.04.2. As stated in comments, a simple fix would be unloading the mouse driver and load it again like this:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps

This only keeps the touchpad working on this session. To make it permanent one can create a file like /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf (you can choose the name you want, but you must keep the extension) with the following content:
options psmouse proto=imps

Ghosn: detention in Japan 'travesty' against human rights
admbrc7
Nissan's fugitive ex-boss, Carlos Ghosn, on Wednesday described his detention conditions in Japan, from which he fled last month in a daring escape, as "travesty" against human rights and dignity
ZEINA KARAM Associated Press
BEIRUT — Nissan's fugitive ex-boss, Carlos Ghosn, on Wednesday described his detention conditions in Japan, from which he fled last month in a daring escape, as a "travesty" against human rights and dignity.
Ghosn held a news conference in Beirut, his first appearance since fleeing Japan last month ahead of his trial for alleged financial misconduct.
The former auto industry titan also dismisses all allegations against him as untrue, saying "I should never have been arrested in the first place."
Ghosn's appearance is his first in public since he smuggled himself from Tokyo to Beirut, arriving in the Lebanese capital where he grew up and is regarded by many as a national hero.
Ghosn's daring and improbable escape has perplexed and embarrassed Japanese authorities after he skipped bail and managed to flee the country despite supposedly rigorous surveillance.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.
Nissan's fugitive ex-chair Carlos Ghosn appeared in public in Lebanon on Wednesday for the first time since fleeing Japan last month ahead of his trial for alleged financial misconduct.
Ghosn arrived at the press syndicate in Beirut where he was to hold a news conference – the first time he's spoken directly and in person with journalists since his arrest in Japan in November 2018. He was accompanied by his wife.
Dozens of local and international journalists were gathered for the much-anticipated news conference by the disgraced auto industry icon. Security was tight with Lebanese policemen and a sniffer dog on hand at the venue.
Media reports have said that he left his residence alone, met two men at a Tokyo hotel, and then took a bullet train to Osaka before boarding a private jet hidden inside a case for musical equipment. He flew to Istanbul and was then transferred onto another plane bound for Beirut, where he arrived Dec. 30.
On Wednesday, Tokyo prosecutors raided a Japanese lawyer's office where Ghosn had visited regularly before he fled. Japanese media reports said prosecutors had likely seized the computer to track down how Ghosn escaped and who might have helped him.
An hour before the scheduled press conference, a Lebanese prosecutor said Ghosn will be summoned "in the coming hours" over a visit to Israel more than 10 years ago, according to the state-run National News Agency.
Two Lebanese lawyers had submitted a report to the Public Prosecutor's Office against Ghosn last week, saying he violated Lebanese law by visiting Israel. The two neighboring countries are technically in a state of war. Prosecutor Ghassan Khoury met with the two lawyers who filed the case on Wednesday and asked them to bring additional evidence, adding he would summon Ghosn in the coming hours.
Ghosn visited Israel in 2008 and met officials including the prime minister and the president. At the time he announced the launch of electric cars in Israel.
Lebanese authorities have said Ghosn entered the country on a legal passport, casting doubt on the possibility they would hand him over to Japan. Lebanon last week received an Interpol-issued wanted notice — a non-binding request to law enforcement agencies worldwide that they locate and provisionally arrest a fugitive.
Lebanon and Japan do not have an extradition treaty, and the Interpol notice does not require Lebanon to arrest him.
Ghosn, who is Lebanese and also holds French and Brazilian passports, was expected to go on trial in Tokyo in April. In statements, he has said he fled to avoid "political persecution" by a "rigged Japanese justice system." He also said that he alone organized his departure from Japan and that his wife, Carole, played no role.
On Tuesday, Tokyo prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant for Carole Ghosn on suspicion of perjury. That charge is not related to his escape. Lebanon's justice minister said Tuesday that Lebanon has not received any request related to that warrant.
Japanese justice officials acknowledge that it's unclear whether the Ghosns can be brought back to Japan to face charges.
Ghosn's former employer, Nissan Motor Co., said it was still pursuing legal action against him despite his escape, adding that Ghosn engaged in serious misconduct while leading the Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi alliance. Ghosn denies all the charges.

Toasty's Gourmet Grilled Cheese
Sunday April 10th, 2016
Ah yes, the grilled cheese sandwich – perfectly melted cheese in between two pieces of bread, with ham and pulled pork and … wait, I did say grilled cheese, right?
"We definitely don't like to call them Panini's, we do like to call them grilled cheese and we are very specific about that here at Toasty's," said Stephanie. "We use a special flat press grill, so it doesn't put the lines in it like a Panini grill would. There are special Panini presses, and then there are special grilled cheese presses. Also, a Panini doesn't actually have to have the cheese melted as much as a grilled cheese does. I know this is getting very technical, but for grilled cheese you need to have that cheese really melted to call it a grilled cheese sandwich."
For three years, Windsor's downtown area has been hiding this cheesy little gem known as Toasty's, a niche restaurant specializing in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches owned by 24-year-old Stephanie Clark and her twin sister Vanessa. The two bought the establishment just over one year ago after the owners, Yervant and Alexandra Lakhoian who also own Frenchy's Poutinery, wanted to sell the restaurant two years after it's opening.
"I was working with [the old owners] already at the time and I was one of their late night crew but then they hired me on here because they needed help here when they opened it," said Stephanie. "A year or so went by and they wanted to sell it, mostly because running two businesses in one family is pretty hard. … it kind of just came up on me, I never planned on becoming a business owner and I know my sister didn't either … but we took it over last January and we never looked back."
Since taking over the business, Stephanie said they wanted to keep everything pretty much the same and have only made a handful of additions to the menu because she thought it was perfect the way it was and if she took something away someone will be upset and she just wants to keep her customers happy, that's her ultimate goal.
So what does Toasty's offer exactly? They have 26 gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches on their menu, all pertaining to a different flavor, as well as a mystery melt which changes monthly.
"We build it ourselves and come up with a combination of flavors to make something," said Stephanie. "This month is the buffalo chicken, which is the buffalo chicken that we make, celery, tomato, mozzarella, swiss cheese … We do that every month for people who want to always get something different off of the menu."
The establishment also has salads and soups to make your meal well rounded, as well as homemade mac and cheese, which Stephanie said they like to mix up by adding new ingredients such as jalapenos or broccoli.
One of their top sellers on the menu is the Cubin, which Stephanie describes as a ham and pulled pork grilled cheese with swiss and provolone, pickles and mustard. Their sandwiches also come on larger specialty style bread, with white, multigrain or marble rye options.
"I don't want to be like anybody else," said Stephanie. "I notice most people don't even pick the original on the menu now that they have so many choices they could pick. I know a lot of people come in here thinking 'wow, I didn't even know grilled cheese could be like this, with this many options.' It's really awesome to see and I love being able to provide that. Some people could come up with it in their kitchen, but I like that we're giving them the ideas of what else they can really do."
So if you're looking for a new spin on an old favorite, and you're in the downtown area, Toasty's is the place to be, but remember – it's gourmet grilled cheese, not Panini's!
"It does have it's difficulties, taking on a business, especially when you're young," said Stephanie. "Being a young entrepreneur is definitely difficult, but I definitely support anyone how's trying. I really think there should be more people taking risks like this and running a restaurant or a business. I personally love this so much and would never trade it for anything, and I love the people who walk into my door and I get to meet everyday … I have some of the best customers in Windsor, they always provide such a beautiful presence. They help us out a lot, they are really good people and I definitely want to thank them for continuing their support."
Toasty's is located at 357 Ouellette Avenue in Downtown Windsor.
