  No. 01-3173
She stated that Jeffrey was particularly appropriate for the program, in view of the number of sexual assaults he had committed, the variety and ages of his victims, the failure of his prior counseling and psychological treatment, his noncompliance with rules while in secure detention, and his apparent attitude toward his current offenses.
Jeffrey argued this was consistent with the department's policy to recommend the serious juvenile offender placement to save the county money.
Jeffrey also made an offer of proof that his trial attorney was prepared to testify that the district attorney told him that the county always recommends the serious juvenile offender program to save money.

 The Universe is a Dodecahedron - National Geographic
Weeks, recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship or so-called "genius award," arrived at the model with a team of French cosmologists while studying cosmic background radiation observed by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP).
Combing through those observations, Weeks and his colleagues found that the most telling information supplied by WMAP was, in fact, the resounding echo of what was missing.
Weeks cautions that his team's model of a finite, dodecahedral-shaped universe, while promising, is hardly a proven theory.

In the interview with Jeffrey what we were trying to talk about was how the gay community, by which I mean male, female, transgender, etc., sets a community when it’s such a hated object.
JZ: In that interview I was surprised by Jeffrey Weeks’ perception of cyberspace as an ultimately bodiless realm, one which excludes the possibility of different, but nonetheless pleasurable, encounters - for Weeks what happens in the Net will never live up to the ‘original’ experience.
Jeffrey unabashedly calls himself a humanist, and focuses on the human in a way that my work certainly doesn’t.

Jeffrey is nine weeks old today, and we celebrated by hauling his poor little butt back into the doctor's office and sticking him with a very sharp needle.

 The Shape of Space: Science News Online, Nov. 8, 2003
Weeks and his coauthors report that a shape called the Poincare dodecahedral space is a good fit for both the quadrupole data and estimates of the universe's curvature.
Weeks and his collaborators were drawn to study the dodecahedron because recent observations of the universe's cosmic microwave background radiation have suggested that the universe either is flat or has slightly positive curvature, such as a sphere does.
Weeks agrees that the absence of matching circles would kill the dodecahedron model.

If the model is correct, Dr. Weeks said, it would rule out a popular theory of the Big Bang that asserts that our own observable universe is just a bubble among others in a realm of vastly larger extent.
One simple example of this is a torus, or a bagel shape, which is what you get when you wrap the left and right and top and bottom sides of the screen around so that they meet.

While promising Carrie that he'd look into the matter, Jeffrey sensed she was out for vengeance and learning that she'd been in contact with the young family members of the men involved (most importantly Marah), he warned her to stay away from the girls.
Although, Jeffrey vowed to prosecute her to the fullest despite her threats to reveal his secrets, his previous warnings to Cassie had an effect and she made a statement that Hart's shooting was an accident.
Jeffrey agreed to draw up the papers but asked Reva to sleep on it, warning her that if she dropped this bomb, Cassie may never forgive her.

 So now we get it!
Jeffrey Weeks, a MacArthur Fellow based in Canton, New York, and researchers from the University of Paris and Observatory of Paris studied astronomical data which suggests the universe is finite and made of curved pentagons joined together into a sphere.
In research reported in the science journal Nature, the scientists said data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, which maps background radiation left over from the Big Bang, is not consistent with an infinite universe.
In a commentary on the research, George Ellis of the University of Cape Town in South Africa, said if Weeks and his colleagues are correct we might indeed live is a small, closed universe.
