The trail to Havasu Canyon starts about 60 miles (96.5 km) north of Old Route 66 at the end of Indian 18 at Hualapai Hilltop. Then it's an 8 mile (12.87 km) hike to Supai Village.
The trail begins with 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of switchbacks down Hualapai Canyon. And because there is no road to Supai Village where over 600 of the Havasupai Indians live everything is carried in and out by mules, horses, or helicopter.
The towering walls of iron stained sandstone towered over us as we descended deeper into the canyon. Towards the bottom we followed a dry streambed of deep pebbles like walking on a foot of marbles for 6 miles (9.65 km).
Then suddenly there was the sound of running water from Havasu Creek and a sign directing us to the Village where there is a post office, store, K-12 school, café, rodeo grounds, police & fire departments and a church.
By now we are tired and foot sore having been on the trail from noon to 4:30 so go directly to the Lodge, check in, and relax before a short walk to the only restaurant in town the Village Café. The waterfalls beckon but will wait until tomorrow.

Just a few short years ago, it was considered weird, wrong and improper to wear blue lipstick out in public. Then, we saw stars like Lupita Nyong'o, Rihanna, Olivia Palermo, Kylie Jenner and others start showing up on the red carpet with a brilliant blaze of blue defining their lips. It was so sexy, and one can thank Doe Deere for pushing the beauty boundaries.
She is the CEO and founder of these bold cosmetics, an edgy brand that delights in wildly colored palettes with a naughty attitude. Doe Deere knew she loved putting on bright, in your face makeup that turned heads. She was obsessed with the playfulness and fantasy aspect, so she launched the company in 2008, hoping someone out there would be drawn to the magic of her brand.
The world was watching, and soon, thousand of fans threw down their boring makeup stashes and began experimenting with Lime Crime.
The cosmetics Doe Deere develops share an amazingly strong pigment base, and these sexy liquid matte lipsticks and powdery smooth eye shadows last and last for hours. The shades are unusual, too, with colors of mushrooms, pumpkins, cement and so forth.
The brand happens to sell the best blue lipstick around in Denim, Teacup, Peacock and Thistle hues. The beauty and glamour in these blue bases are spectacular. That's probably why all the giant cosmetics companies are now featuring new bold lipstick shades. It's called duping, but Doe Deere doesn't care, because "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
Lime Crime is major on e-commerce and social media pages. The makeup is sold there at LimeCrime and at popular stores like Urban Outfitters. Doe Deere believes that e-commerce is the way women love to shop, even for makeup. She enjoys touching base with her Lime Crime community, and they inspire each other with cosmetics looks and ideas.
Lime Crime's Instagram page is looking amazing at more than 2.6 million followers. The artistic beauty of the social media page is quite striking, as fans love sending their stunning, bright makeup selfies to Lime Crime's Instagram page.

Sylvester Stallone launches Sly men's clothing line
Actor and director Sylvester Stallone plans to launch his own line of men's clothing under the brand Sly ("Sly") in 2012. As the site Monstersandcritics.com reported, 64-year-old Stallone teamed up with experts in retail Michael Henry to create Sly Inc which will be launched next year.
He told Men's Week magazine: 'I thought the time is now. I've lived a life where I know what has worked and what hasn't worked. Clothing is the first step to building a character.'
Sylvester's two best-known film characters, Rambo and Rocky, will be the inspiration for the new collection.
His business partner Michael explained: 'Rocky at the end of the day is a love story, while Rambo showcases the other side of masculinity, he is a loner.
'So the line will offer looks for 'the rebel and the gentleman."
Stallone can't understand why more male celebrities don't get more involved with fashion.
He said: 'Maybe a lot of them dress for the films they are in and they don't want to be a slave to fashion. Or they're more casual. But I think there's room for both and it is not being represented, especially in my age group.'

India's Directorate-General of Civil Aviation is proposing stricter norms, including a skills test on domestic aircraft and verification of a licence from the original country of issue, in an effort to make it harder for pilots with licences issued abroad to convert to Indian licences (thehindubusinessline.com, 02-Jun-2011). The airline watchdog was prompted to review policy after some 16 cases of pilots working with illegal licences were found across domestic carriers.
DGCA: "The fake licence issue was one of the things that prompted us, but we were looking to make changes anyway and put some safeguards. Earlier, a pilot had to only take two tests to convert a foreign licence into domestic one, but now the procedure will be far more rigorous. The rules should be finalised in a day or two." Director General EK Bharat Bhushan. Source: The Hindu Business Line, 02-Jun-2011.

A SWAN has been grounded in Jersey after developing an attachment to a Eurocopter EC155.
Whooper, who roams the skies of the Les Mielles Golf and Country Club on Jersey, sadly lost his mate, and has reportedly been looking for a new one.
The bird appeared to have become attached to the helicopter which lands on a nearby airstrip.
Whooper regularly flew up to try and reach the chopper, sparking fears that the bird may get caught by the helicopter's rotor blades.
Staff have subsequently had to make the decision to clip Whooper's wings.
Whooper, who is named after the whooper swan, is the only member of his species at the golf club.
Whooper swans usually stay with their partner for life. It is hoped that he will one day find a swan to mate with.
Lucky escape for swan that stopped M9 traffic

Yesterday Amanda finally accomplished the back-to-belly rollover! We were so excited for her. She no longer stays on the blanket I've laid on the floor for her. She rolls and crawls on and off at will. We will now have to be very attentive to keeping the floor picked up and keeping the doors and gate closed. It's so much fun and the boys enjoy watching her try so hard to reach and crawl toward her toys. She makes them laugh. She makes us all laugh. Soon we'll post a video so you can laugh, too.
"Potty training" is going well. My mom was here on Monday and witnessed me taking her to the potty and then hearing Amanda go. She was impressed. Mike is always amazed when I take her in there and she goes, too.
Nursing is going fine. Amanda nurses with the supplementor and won't nurse without it. She will cheerfully take a bottle on occasion. She will reach for it and hold it. I'm still pumping after she lays down for naps and before she wakes in the morning. I'm pumping close to six ounces a day. I happy to be providing her with some fresh milk every day.
Amanda is a very good sleeper. She still goes to sleep about an hour after waking up. I wrap her up nice in snug in her blankets and she goes right to sleep. We had some challenges last month when she realized she could roll over. Then she would cry because she didn't want to sleep on her back. We let her learn that she still had to be in bed even if she was rolled over and eventually she became comfortable with sleeping in any position. We still wake her up to nurse every three hours during the day. At night she will go to bed for the night between 8 and 10 pm. Last night she went to bed at 8 pm, fussed a couple of times in the middle of the night, maybe 11 pm and 1 pm, but she fell back asleep. Then I finally woke her up at 8:30 am. Hopefully, she was just tired from all her exercise yesterday and she's not getting sick. I'm glad she is such a well-rested, happy baby.

The crème de la U.S. foreign policy establishment gathered in Texas last week, reaffirming at a friendly conclave the need for their skillful stewardship of the national security state, as Michael Brenner witnessed.
Tag: neoconservatives
The Existential Madness of Putin-Bashing
Exclusive: Official Washington loves its Putin-bashing but demonizing the Russian leader stops a rational debate about U.S.-Russia relations and pushes the two nuclear powers toward an existential brink, writes Robert Parry.
Neocon Dilemma: Israeli-Russian Detente
As Official Washington's neocons lead the charge into a New Cold War – deeming Russia an implacable enemy – an inconvenient truth is that the neocons' beloved Israel is warming its relationship with Moscow, writes Stephen J. Sniegoski.
Hillary Clinton's 'Exceptionalist' Warpath
Exclusive: Democrats and Hillary Clinton are delighting in attacking Donald Trump from the right, employing McCarthyistic tactics and embracing the imperialist notion of "American exceptionalism," says Daniel Lazare.
Propaganda for Syrian 'Regime Change'
Neocons and liberal hawks have poured millions of dollars into propaganda to justify "regime change" in Syria and are now desperate to keep the war going until President Hillary Clinton gets a chance to escalate, as Rick Sterling describes.
America's Journalistic Hypocrites
Exclusive: The U.S. news media flip-flops on whether international law is inviolate or can be brushed aside at America's whim – and similarly whether killing civilians is justified or not depending on who's doing the killing, says Robert Parry.
Magical Thinking in US Foreign Policy
Exclusive: The U.S. foreign policy establishment cloaks its desire for global dominance in the language of humanitarianism and "democracy promotion" even when the policies lead to death and chaos, as James W Carden describes.
More Neocon Excuses to Bomb Syria
Official Washington's influential neocons continue to dream up new excuses for expanding U.S. military intervention in Syria, including why to bomb Syrian government forces and confront Russia, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Why Neocons Can't Stomach Trump
Neocons are jumping off the Republican ship for Hillary Clinton even though Donald Trump has shifted their way on Israel and military spending. The big reason is his resistance to a new Cold War with Russia, says JP Sottile.
Al Qaeda's Name Game in Syria
Washington's neocon-dominated foreign policy establishment has long seen Al Qaeda's Nusra Front as a strategic ally in Syria – and now hopes a name change will protect it through President Obama's last months, reports Gareth Porter.

Bialys are the Polish cousins of bagels. I have never made or tasted a bialy before. How can I ever resist making them? This is BBB's (Bread Baking Babes) project of the month — "babes bake bialys", hosted by Judy at Judy's Gross Eats. Bagels were what my daughter first craved when she went to college. Alas, not mom's cooking. Whenever she comes home, my husband would buy lox and several kinds of bagel: everything, sesame, onion, cinnamon raisin, pumpernickel bagels, for the breakfast spread. There won't be any leftovers; they'll be either consumed or taken back to school, for friends and roommates. Good bagels are hot commodities. She is such a bagel snob; she judges every city she visits by the quality of their bagels.
I've made bagels once or twice, never quite succeeded in comparison to the bagels from Bagel Spot, Bagels 4-U or Collegetown Bagel…. The list is long and competition is fierce. The bar is too high, so I stopped making them.
I make bread at home for a reason. There are a few requirements: less white, more nutritious, wholesome and flavorful breads as compared to the store-bought varieties. A tall order in the New York area. With that in mind, I adapted the Hot Bread Kitchen's traditional onion bialys recipe. I like the notion that Jessamyn Rodriguez, the author of Hot Bread Kitchen, set out to make the best bialy in New York according to the parameters outlined by Mimi Sheraton, the former New York Times restaurant critic, in her book The Bialy Eaters: The Story of a Bread and a Lost World. Mimi called Jessamyn to say she liked the Hot Bread Kitchen's bialys. How can you go wrong with this recipe as a springboard for baking bialys the first-time?
Instead of preparing the preferment as directed in the recipe, I made a stiff levain (66% hydration) using a sourdough starter and added that to the dough. I did not break them up into walnut-size pieces, as the recipe called for, due to the stickiness of the levain. It was not stiff enough. I substituted 50% of the bread flour with organic whole-grain sprouted splelt flour. Gave the dough an extended kneading in the mixer. Then I followed a similar fermentation schedule as written. Caramelized the onion and topped the bialys before baking them. See the cheat sheet below for details. One last-minute change: I substituted poppy seeds with sesame seeds. I couldn't find any poppy seeds in my pantry. I may have run out of them. So I used black sesame seeds instead.
|Ran out of poppy seeds. Substituted with sesame seeds.
|50% sprouted spelt flour, 50% bread flour, 72% hydration
What surprised me the most about these bialys? They all popped, to some extent. My dough seemed exuberant. The moment the bialys hit the hot 500°F, you can see every onion topping from the indentation rise, expand and erupt. Kinda neat to watch! I figure that the only way to contain the energy of the oven spring is to over-proof the dough or lower the oven temperature. That will be something with which to explore and experiment!
I like these bialys a lot. The crust is chewy like that of a bagel, but without the jarring action of tearing it up with your teeth — a gentler kind of chewiness. Eating bagels can be challenging without strong teeth. Not so with the bialys. The interior is tender with a pleasant bite. The sweetness of the onion imparts a snap of flavor. The high content (50%) of whole wheat flour is a huge plus, from a nutrition point of view. It is easier with a one-step process of baking in the oven than making bagels (which are boiled and then baked). There is nothing not to like about these bialys. Thank you, Judy, for suggesting and hosting this fun BBB bake.

Creative Direction
How might a printed catalog become something more than a boilerplate product list that wastes paper and takes up space? How might it serve a design-driven company and their clients in ways that the web cannot? How could it become a keepsake that resonates with landscape architects? How could a company in the midst of great change use such a piece to show their continuity with the past and plans for the future without alienating or confusing existing customers?
When Anova commissioned me to conceive and design a new printed catalog, these questions were our point of entry. The company had recently undergone a complete rebrand and repositioning; they even had a new name. Since 1970, their reputation had been built on high quality, comfortable outdoor furnishings and excellent customer service. Those attributes weren't going anywhere, but they had begun to pour their energy into growing as design leaders and strategic partners for landscape architects and property developers. The catalog was their most important printed marketing tool, and we had an opportunity to show Anova's amplified commitment to design while also assuring customers that the company they knew and trusted was changing for the better.
Sometimes the best way to invite a reader to open the front cover is by leaving things out, or as industrial designer Dieter Rams says, by using "as little design as possible." So what did we do? We proposed a cover for a product portfolio that had no products on it. Abundant white space, spartan typography, and a mix of glossy and velvet textures invite the reader to see what's inside. A subtle pattern of clear varnished dots hint at steel patterns in Anova's benches and tables. To my surprise, the CEO said yes – though it took a little gentle persuasion.
Product and narrative
It was evident that attractive layouts and photos of tables, benches, chairs, and the like would only take us so far. Those products have no story to tell in an of themselves. After a while, people get bored and the catalog is tossed away. In order to increase the likelihood of a sales conversation actually taking place, an additional layer of meaning was necessary. We needed a human element that would break up the product content and reinforce Anova's new design-led philosophy.
I interviewed accomplished designers and creative leaders, asking them to talk about a product they love and why they love it. With the help of expert writer Penny Benda, we transformed these interviews into single-page essays that are scattered throughout the book. The final essay was a candid conversation with Anova CEO Eric Gilbert.
During the rebranding process, Anova had identified five brand pillars that would drive every decision in their business: beauty, comfort, quality, responsiveness, and integrity. I told them that these five values were their x-factor, or rather their 5x factor. That concept was tied into the designer interviews; they could talk about any commercial product as long as it embodied all five values. Before each essay, we unpacked one of Anova's five x-factors. This allowed us to reinforce their values throughout the book in a way that wasn't overwhelming or annoying. And with the help and guidance of Anova's creative team, we commissioned new photography of workers in one of Anova's two Midwestern production facilities. These images of steel, sparks, and cardboard balance the more staged product photography.
To differentiate types of content and enhance the tactile qualities of the book, we paired contrasting paper stocks. Products jump off the page thanks to smooth glossy paper, and everything else is made perfectly legible by a lightly textured uncoated stock.
Designed for longevity
Rather than printing hundreds of thousands of brochures on crappy paper, we printed far fewer with nicer, more memorable materials. Instead of showing every single product and churning out a new catalog every year or every quarter, we designed this portfolio to last for two years, and to focus on highlights and bestsellers from each collection. We simply prompt readers to visit the website for more.
In order to create the most value within Anova's budget, I designed layouts for six product collections ranging from small to large. These served as templates that Anova's in-house design team used to flesh out the remaining 23 collections. Since this portfolio was introduced in 2012, Anova's designers have used the same format for the main catalog as well as new product supplements.
This catalog has been very well received by landscape architects, and has proven instrumental in demonstrating Anova's commitment to making furnishings that are designed for people and built for life.
Finally, this work would not have been possible without design support from Jason Tasso. This case study is also dedicated with gratitude to Eric Gilbert, Katherine Wilson, and Jared Stinehagen – some of the best clients a designer could ever wish for.

Michigan Energy Office issues RFP for LED streetlight grants
California Energy Commission Loan Program for LED streetlights
IAMU RFP for LED Streetlights Revised
IAMU issues RFP for 4,900 LED streetlights
DOE webinar on maintenance practices for LED streetlights
The city of Tracy, California, is preparing to replace all city-owned streetlights with energy efficient LED roadway fixtures and seeks bids for a project involving 4,218 LED streetlight fixtures. The project, scheduled to begin in mid-2012, is focused on replacing over four thousand existing high pressure sodium (HPS) and mercury vapor streetlights with LED fixtures. The HPS streetlights targeted for replacement range from 70 watts to 250 watts. The mercury vapor streetlights targeted for replacement are 400 watt fixtures. Energy consumption will decrease by at least 50 percent.
The city council previously approved a Phase One retrofit program to replace streetlights owned by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) with LED fixtures. The city tested and compared LED and induction technology at that time. Annual savings from replacing approximately one thousand streetlights, in older city neighborhoods, were estimated to be about $91,000. The project involved funding from the city's equipment replacement fund and from a no-interest loan and rebates from PG&E.
The scope of work for the proposed installation includes the removal and disposal of the existing fixtures and installation of LED streetlight fixtures. Additionally, the bid document specifies that bids must be for LED streetlights manufactured by BetaLED, a division of Ruud Lighting, of Racine, Wisconsin, or Leotek Electronics, of Milpitas, California, or an approved equivalent. Final determination of approved equivalents will be made by city of Tracy staff. The city's bid document provides detailed project specifications including photometric performance which includes a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4,000 – 4,300 Kelvin ± 300K, a color rendering index (CRI) = 70, and a minimum five year warranty.
Completed bids must be submitted to the city of Tracy by March 15, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. The bid must be accompanied by a one time PG&E rebate calculation and a lifecycle energy cost savings analysis. Bids that are not submitted with this documentation will be rejected. The complete bid document can be found here.

In a previous feature article, AAG looked at the impact the evolving competition for talent on the continent has on the strategic talent management objectives for the HR and CEO functions in a company. Companies operating in the region face a strategic decision over where and how to compete for talent. Two clear strategies have emerged, focusing on different ends of the career life cycle, enabling companies to optimize their recruiting efforts at the entry and executive levels. Professionals who aspire to pursue executive level roles in Africa should actively consider whether the organizations they are working in demonstrate robust leadership development capabilities. Aspiring executives should also consider how they want to contribute to organizations in the future and how to align their career objectives with the emerging talent strategies.

The writers of PHIT's latest live sketch team, Codename: Athena, are currently in the process of constructing their debut show – but a sketch show without actors is just a script, which means it's time for another round of Sketch House Team Actors Auditions!
PHIT will be holding open-call auditions in search of actors for our newest Sketch House Team on Sunday, July 10 from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Auditions will be held in the PHIT's Rehearsal Room B, located in the basement of The Adrienne Theater, 2030 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
Auditioners do not need to have prior improv, sketch or even acting experience (although none of these things will hurt!), and auditioners who have taken classes at PHIT will not be given special preference over those who have studied elsewhere (although we will have had more time to see you perform which may help).
Actors in our new Sketch House Team will need to be available for all shows in the debut run of Codename: Athena shows (These dates are: August 18th, 19th, 25th, and 26th), as well as as-of-yet-unscheduled rehearsals and read-throughs. You must be available for the audition times to be considered. No other audition times are available.
Sign-ups begin immediately. To secure an audition time please fill out PHIT's "Codename: Athena" Acting Auditions Submission Form, linked here.
You will receive a confirmation message within two (2) business days – for example, if you contact us on Monday you'll hear from us by Wednesday, or if you contact us on Friday, you'll hear from us by the following Tuesday).
We will accept sign-ups until no audition times remain. All specific audition times are first-come-first-served. There are no alternate times. If you are not available for these audition dates and times, please do not email or call to ask for an exception – you simply will not be able to audition. If you are interested in auditioning, you must sign-up for one of our announced timeslots.
PLEASE ARRIVE AT LEAST FIFTEEN (15) MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED AUDITION TIME. You will be handed scripts from pre-written sketches that you will be asked to read from. After you've checked in, we encourage you to take this time to go over the script. Auditioners should wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Resumes are not required but will gladly be accepted. Please bring a headshot with you.
Auditioners will be seen individually for 5 minutes each. You will be expected to perform a 2 – 2 1/2 minute comedic monologue. This can be something you've written, something someone else has written, something that has never been written – it can be anything you would like, but we recommend doing something that showcases your strengths as a performer and brings plenty of laughs out of the present director and producers. After this, you'll read/perform some of the material that you receive after you check in.
Everyone who auditions will receive a reply letting them know whether or not they have been cast.
Still have questions?
Send us an email (get our email address from the contact page of the site).

Okay so to be a runner, a good play list is beyond necessary. Very few people love to run as much as I do, however, I know I would never run without my favorite songs blaring in my ears. During my runs, I have time to myself; to decompress; think about my day; and what I need to accomplish. Running makes me 'good' and honestly I don't know what I would do without it. Running to me is in no way a chore, but rather a privilege and let's just say I adore it. While this sounds relaxing and I am not really sure how all these thoughts go through my mind while listening to music through my beats at max volume, I will not deny that running without music is boring. Maybe it isn't even running that I love, maybe it's the high I get from the endorphins; the motivation I get from the music; the strength I gain with every mile; I don't really know, all I do know is my workout is the best part of my day and my music plays a huge part in it.
As I just mentioned and as I said in my posts about spin classes, I adore the blaring music in my ears motivating me to go harder. Music is such a powerful form of art and its ability to push us to our physical limits truly inspires me, so obviously I love creating playlists! In order to make my runs more interesting, I am always changing my playlist to a mix of rap and pop. There is a mix of new hits, some fun throwbacks, and basically a little bit of everything! Below I am sharing my current list I have been running too so you can hopefully enjoy your run a little more..comment below your favorite workout tracks and which songs you like/don't like from mine !

In what ways do you think men can make themselves more attractive?
Scientifically speaking, do you think wearing certain colors, having a certain hairstyle, or even wearing a specific kind of cologne makes a man more appealing to woman?
Guys, what are some things you do that you think make you more attractive to women?
Most Helpful Guy
Some research has shown that just making more money is enough for women to judge a guy as a 9 or 10, that otherwise was getting judged as a 4 or 5.
Wearing dark colors is seen as more attractive to women in general, but most guys wear dark colors, so some guys wear bright colors to stand out better, and do well as a result.
Being taller is a huge deal of attraction in women, so good posture, and shoes that add a little height can help.
Well groomed facial hair. Even women that claim they don't like facial hair, often change their mind after their man sports facial hair for a while. I think we just live in a culture of clean shaven actors, so women aren't use to seeing facial hair.
Having a dominant personality, is normally more attractive to women, than being submissive.
Having status is also a major factor. Having a degree is currently seen as a way to obtain status, even if the degree is in a useless field that won't help him get a job. This is why so many women are wanting "educated" men. It has to do with a woman's desire for a man with status. A man making the same amount of money that doesn't have a degree will be seen as less desirable.
Not being fat. People keep lying to guys and telling us women don't care about looks, or if we are overweight. That isn't true. Women care if the guy is fat or not.
Clothes that fit and flatter our bodies. Women like to be able to check men out as well. Wearing bagging butt jeans, may be comfortable, but they aren't attractive.
Clothes that are not worn out. If his T-shirt is getting stretched out at the collar, then it is time to throw it away.
Things like confidence and personality are important, but their has been too much importance placed on them, to the point a lot of guys don't think other traits should matter to women. Men need to get the full story. Looks matter to both genders.94|51|1
This is probably the best comprehensive list I've seen that is accurate about female's attraction. Especially that last point. Well done!
This is so true
Speaking kindly, not being disrespectful and taking the initiative to actually approach the girl instead of staring at her awkwardly hoping she'll say something.

Case Update - Ohio Supreme Court
One of the benefits of doing a blog like this is that it gives you a better appreciation of trends. The Ohio Supreme Court has long had a reputation among the criminal bar of being defendant-unfriendly. Not surprising, given that since the early part of this millennium the court's membership has included six Republicans, a group against whom the "soft-on-crime" accusation is not customarily leveled.
But there has been a trend away from that this year, especially in juvenile cases. Prior to its decisions a couple week back in State v. Aalim and State v. Moore, which we'll talk about on Thursday, the court dealt with the question of whether the allied offense analysis applied to juvenile adjudications (In re A.G.), whether juvenile adjudications could be used to elevate the degree of offense or penalty for adult cases (State v. Hand; discussed here), and whether the statutory presumption that a recorded interrogation is voluntary applied to juveniles (State v. Barker). Every one, including Aalim and Moore, turned out in favor of the juveniles.
In fact, especially with the recent spate of decisions, one would be forgiven for believing that the justices had suddenly envisioned themselves as the second coming of the Warren Court. There's a defendant-friendly decision on the element of prior calculation and design in aggravated murder cases in State v. Walker, which we'll discuss on Wednesday. And then... well, let's take a look at three big cases.
The award for shortest-lived opinion goes to State v. Gonzalez. Gonzalez was hit with MDO-weight (over 100 g) charge of cocaine trafficking, but claimed that only the weight of the actual cocaine -- minus fillers -- should count. The Supreme Court agreed, because of the wording of the statute: while the definition of the drug includes a "compound, mixture, preparation, or substance containing cocaine," the particular level of the offense is determined by the amount of "cocaine." This doesn't apply to other drugs; the marijuana provisions, for example, refer only to the amount of "the drug."
And, considering that it's purely a statutory matter, figure that cleaning this up is going to be a top priority in next year's state legislature. Especially since crime labs in Ohio, while capable of measuring the quantity of a drug, aren't designed to measure purity.
* * * * *
Caster v. Columbus isn't technically a criminal case, but has perhaps the greatest potential to affect criminal cases of any of the decisions in the past two weeks. Caster was a lawyer engaged by the Ohio Innocence Project who was investigating the case of Adam Saleh, who'd been convicted of murder in 2007. Caster requested the police records related to Saleh's case, but the Columbus police department rejected the request, stating that they wouldn't be produced until Salah's criminal case was completed.
Completed? How isn't a conviction in 2007 complete? And yes, all of Saleh's appeals had been exhausted.
The reason for this lies in a 1994 Supreme Court decision, State ex rel. Steckman v. Jackson. Back then, defendants would use public records requests to get around the limited discovery provided by the criminal rules. Steckman greatly narrowed defendant's ability to do this, first by expanding the definition of "investigatory work product" to include just about anything other than ordinary police reports, and second by holding that a public records request wasn't available to a defendant as long as post-conviction relief was a possibility. (And since exculpatory information obtained from investigative notes could form the basis of a post-conviction relief petition beyond the normal period, that essentially meant the defendant couldn't get the information so long as he was alive.)
The adoption of the open discovery rules in 2010 undercut a large part of Steckman's rationale, but the pernicious consequences of Steckman played a factor, too. Ronald Larkins, who'd been convicted of aggravated murder, was one of the three companion cases in Steckman. Several years after the court denied Larkins' attempt to get his police records, a third person filed the request and got the records, then turned them over to Larkins. A court ultimately determined that the State had withheld exculpatory records, and exonerated him.
Caster also eliminates the "investigatory work product" restriction, but does contain one limitation: a defendant cannot file a request for records until after his trial. But to lawyers doing post-conviction work -- and their clients -- Caster is a Godsend.
* * * * *
Your client is charged with having weapons under disability, which means State has to show that he has a prior conviction, for either drugs or a violent crime. You offer to stipulate to the prior conviction to the judge, so that the jury only needs to decide whether your client had the gun; it won't know about the prior.
That's going nowhere. The disability is an element of the crime, and must be proved to a jury. Sure, there was a US Supreme Court case, Old Chief v. United States, which presented a similar situation; the Court there held that refusing the stipulation resulted in a violation of EvidR 403, in that the probative value of the evidence would be outweighed by its prejudicial effect. Ohio lawyers have tried to get state courts to apply Old Chief, but with no real success.
Until last Thursday. In State v. Creech, the Ohio Supreme Court adopts the reasoning of Old Chief.
How far does Creech go? Although the case involved the weapons disability statute, the same logic should apply to other cases where prior convictions are used to create or enhance the crime, like domestic violence and certain OVI's. Don't expect to go beyond that; you're not going to be able to stipulate in a felonious assault case that the victim suffered serious physical harm, to preclude the prosecutor from presenting the jury with the grim nature of the victim's wounds.
But if you've ever tried a felony-three domestic violence, where the jury gets to hear that you're client has been convicted of that exact crime twice before, you'll appreciate the impact of Creech.

Temps and dew points are at or near freezing across the southern zones around midnight when the precip is expected to begin so there could be a brief period of fzra and this is mentioned in the forecast. Model soundings also show the potential for some snow across the northern tier, especially the higher elevations into Sunday afternoon before the column goes above freezing with all liquid expected by late afternoon and evening. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday) Issued at 258 AM EST Fri Jan 19 2018 Strong isentropic upglide and increasing moisture north of the warm front will result in widespread rain showers Sunday night. Rain will continue Monday as the strong low pressure system moves northeast into the Great Lakes region. Patchy fog is also expected due to the high boundary layer moisture and melting of any lingering snow cover. It is not completely out of the question that a few thunderstorms may develop along and just ahead of the sfc low/cold front. We left it out of the fcst at this time mainly due to weak instability. Colder air will move in on the back side of the departing system and in conjunction with wrap around moisture behind the departing low will cause rain showers to change over to snow showers Monday night. Snow showers will continue Tuesday with potential for light accumulations of around 1 to 3 inches as suggested by a consensus of latest medium range guidance. A high pressure ridge will then build in from the west and bring fair wx Wednesday and Thursday.

Chunks of ice remain in the river, but are stable at this point with slowly falling river levels. Minor flooding is ongoing immediately along the river bank in low lying areas. A warming trend through the weekend will result in snowmelt. Existing snow depths generally contain 0.2" to 0.5" of liquid. Precipitation amounts of 0.5" to 1.00" are possible through early Tuesday. This will most certainly lead to some rising rivers with minor flooding possible next week, especially on smaller streams. Highs in the 40s and lows in the mid-20s to around 30 degrees may not be quite warm enough to drastically weak ice on all rivers. This may mitigate some of the impact. However, ice jams are nearly unpredictable.

PSYCHIATRIC patients frequently wait days in the Cairns Base Hospital's emergency department (ED) before they can be admitted to a mental health bed - a situation one doctor describes as "unacceptably dangerous''.
Anaesthetist Sandy Donald, a representative for Together union members, said one mental health patient stayed more than 200 hours in the hospital's ED before being discharged home.
Dr Donald has called for urgent Federal Government intervention to rectify the situation.
He has released figures to The Courier-Mail showing that, in 2012, only 8 per cent of patients requiring admission to the Cairns hospital's mental health ward were able to access a bed within eight hours of arrival. More than 22 patients last year were waiting for a mental health bed 90 hours after showing up at the ED, the figures show.
The Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service admitted that mental health patients sometimes spent days in the ED, revealing that, so far this year, nine patients had waited more than 96 hours before being admitted to the mental health ward.
"This is unacceptably dangerous,'' Dr Donald said. "The requirements for mental health services often exceed the resources of the health service but the nearest alternative is hundreds of kilometres away. It's very, very clear there's a critical and urgent need for more funding and more beds immediately.
"I don't see how you can claim a service is working when mental health patients are commonly spending several days in the emergency department. Things are absolutely desperate up here and that's the nicest thing you could possibly say.''
Dr Donald said four emergency department staff required medical attention themselves this week after a "disturbed'' patient became violent.
He said ED medical officers had identified the need for aggressive behaviour management training but the Cairns and Hinterland HHS had said it could not afford to replace doctors to allow them to attend the four-day course.
Dr Donald was commenting after Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Queensland branch chairman Dan Siskind warned that "critical incidents'' involving mental health patients might rise as a result of budget cuts.
Cairns and Hinterland HHS acting CEO Robin Moore admitted that due to an increasingly high demand on the Cairns hospital's mental health ward, patients waiting for a bed could "often wait for a number of days'' in the ED.
"We acknowledge this is unacceptable but our dedicated staff continue to provide the highest quality care under the most difficult circumstances,'' he said. "The Cairns and Hinterland HHS provides the highest quality mental health services to the level at which we are funded.''
Mr Moore said an extra 10 mental health beds would open at the Cairns hospital late next year, increasing numbers to 50.
He said a forum was planned for September 12 to discuss mental health issues affecting the region.

Here you can experience the very same Redstone, Atlas and Titan rockets that first put NASA astronauts in space, or climb aboard Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules – and get an idea of the cramped quarters America's astronaut pioneers endured.
Astronaut Encounter
Enjoy the Astronaut Encounter and hear firsthand about space travel from veteran astronauts.
Then we boarded a bus tour and checked out the LC-39 Observation Gantry, Vehicle Assembly Building, Launch Control Center, Apollo/Saturn V Center, Launch Pad LC-39A, and Launch Pad LC-39B. What's so special about the launchpads?
C-39B supported its first space shuttle launch in 1986. Along with LC-39A, the complexes have launched more than 100 Space Shuttle missions through 2011.
It was neat hearing about all of our cool space expeditions and seeing rockets, shuttles and such. I've only seen them on TV so it was awe inspiring how HUGE they were.
Overall we had a great family day at Kennedy Space Center. I recommend it to any family that would be in the area or even in Orlando because it was just a short hour drive away and it was well worth it.

Knitting our way out of Peak Oil
When we talk about Peak Oil and its impact on our lives we're really talking about the economic impact- because, from the environmental perspective, the sooner it's all gone the better! From the economic point of view, when companies like Lloyds of London start talking about the "catastrophic consequences" of Peak Oil does that mean people sit up and listen?
Well, not really. Everyone still keeps on driving down to the shop. Or buying cheap online holidays.
While we talk about economics, the temptation to buy the cheaper imported product is budget driven too -we've become so used to buying on a whim and throwing it away again with equally as little thought. It seems ironic that a plastic item that has traversed the globe, that is laden with precious petrochemicals, can cost less than its organic, locally produced cousin. However, this sort of cheap, throw-away consumerism will come to a screeching holt when the price of fuel starts rocketing.
Do you remember a few years back when all of a sudden the price of petrol topped $2 a litre? It wasn't just the petrol that became expensive- our whole lifestyles became expensive! The cost of producing everything rose along with the price of fuel. This is the face of the future.
And Biofuels are no alternative.
Here we are, robbing the already poor 'east' of valuable food-growing land, destroying natural ecosystems and destroying the chance of local food self-reliance for those who desperately need it all to grow biofuels. The fuels we're producing aren't any better either. Originally, plant-based fuels were billed as being better than fossil fuels because the carbon released when burned is equalled by the carbon absorbed while growing. But it's not that simple. The equation doesn't include the energy used in making this conversion; and what about the changed land use?
Back to the drawing board?
Perhaps we can't do much to avoid the arrival of Peak Oil, but we can plan for it and equip ourselves with tools to prevent the catastrophic effect it could have on our lives. This is where we need to all pop along to the local library and borrow every book we can on permaculture. Or commission a permaculture designer to come and help you re-think your life. The transition from our oil dependent lives to one of independence doesn't necessarily have to be painful; it certainly doesn't have to mean that we do without.
Somehow amongst the worldwide recession it suddenly became acceptable to be thrifty. Knitting is trendy again and the war-time motto of 'make do and mend' has been reinvented as 'upcycling'; being green is the new black. Farmer's markets are popping up like mushrooms and 'local' has been given a defined region- often less than 100km. But is this enough?
Many Christchurch folk have already contemplated a world 'without' while passing a few days without services recently after the earthquake. My family went without water for 6 days and without electricity for 2. Our lives were immediately simplified. We realised that the way forward in this situation was to look to our community. We conserved energy by cooking a single meal for many, heating and lighting one room; we bartered for showers (actually, the showers would be given freely, but we liked to bring gifts in exchange…) as if water was the new currency.
What we really need is to put a brake on our consumerist lifestyles; peak oil or not, we need to consider what the real impact of a changing climate is. Making alternative fuels to run our combustion engines will continue to heat up the planet, riding a bike won't, growing and eating seasonally available veges won't, trading with your neighbours won't, and learning to un-ravel a jersey to re-knit into a rug certainly won't!

Just to be clear – Peak Oil is not about the end of oil (although it is about the end of cheap oil).
Peak oil is when the highest production of oil happens. It is generally agreed that this will be when about half of the oil in the world has been consumed.
So, there will still be another half "available" for consumption. For various (technical and economic) reasons, it seems (I believe this, and will find citations if others request them in the comments) that the remaining reserves will require increasing amounts of energy to extract. That is, you will need to put in (say) 1.1 units of energy to extract 1.0 units of oil.
This adds to the already problematic supply and demand situation, to push the price of oil higher still.
Rebecca refers to $2.00/litre petrol above – imagine a world where petrol cost five times that – and then continued to rise from there. Are you thinking about selling your car yet?
(Hint, the world you just imagined isn't too far away).GD Star Rating

Knitting, like many hobbies, isn't cheap. Unless you're having a go with acrylics, but then, that circles back to petrochemicals and waste. What can be thrifty about it is the unwinding of old sweaters to make new ones. Otherwise, the cost of knitting a natural fiber jumper usually exceeds the price of buying a machine made one. I think the upswing in handcrafting is more about the busy-ness of our culture and simplifying our lives rather than the price tag.GD Star Rating

Not so long ago I wrote about having post-natal depression and how it had carried on into my present life. I talked about how it generally wasn't that bad, there was just an edge there, and how I didn't want to take medication for it, and never had done.
It's so much easier talking about something that is in the past, or that you are not going through right at the particular moment. It feels easier to talk about somehow; like you are not failing at life* at that particular moment, so it's ok to admit to it. But right now I feel like I need to talk about it, to try and make a bit of sense about what is going on in my head. And maybe so those special people in my life can know what's going on without me having to tell them. It makes me kind of feel a bit exposed though, talking about it whilst it is still going on, and a bit stupid. But we have to keep talking, don't we?
I don't really know what happened, but over the last couple of days I have been massively down. I think it possibly started on Friday with me being a bit hungover after being in London the day before. Alcohol doesn't normally have that effect on me, but I think it probably had something to do with it this time.
Like I said, I've talked about having mild depression before, but there haven't been many times over the years since becoming a mother that I have felt so horribly helpless, and that horrendous feeling of hopelessness, as I have done these last few days. It's freaking awful. The days have dragged and I have done nothing but sit around and done the bare minimum to look after my daughter (she has of course been looked after properly – I would always ask for help if I felt like I wasn't capable of doing that). The extent to which it has suddenly taken over me is terrifying. I am not this person. I have always been a generally positive, glass half full type of person. Not this lacklustre, crying, miserable sod. These times feeling so incredibly low and not knowing whether I will wake up tomorrow and feel ok again or not is absolutely horrendous. Just waiting. And hoping. It's unbearable.
I have to remember it's an illness. This is not who I am. Time will pass. It just doesn't feel like it at the moment. I have emails and texts from friends to reply to, blog posts to write, and pictures to take and edit. I am completely disinterested in all of it. I cannot make myself take one minute to reply to a text, or email that PR. I am so grateful for the messages from the people that know though, they do help. And yet I can sit here, crying and writing this. But I just felt like I needed to. And yet I can't decide whether or not to publish this or not, it feels like a bit too much. Too real, too personal, too honest.
Whilst feeling like this I start to think about how I feel in every day life, and how I feel like the edge has been off for a long time. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's kind of like how I feel if I'm not wearing my glasses or contact lens' – the edges are all blurry and a bit of a haze. That is just how I feel normally, and have for a long time. But that is not normal. If I am out (or even really at home) then I am never completely relaxed, it doesn't matter who I am with and how comfortable I am with them. I am very aware of everything around me. I feel like for a really long time when I have been out somewhere, doing something fun I haven't completely enjoyed it even though it's something that should be, and is kind of great. I never fully relax and enjoy myself, the edge is taken off.
I think it might be time. I can't keep living my life this way. I kind of forget about it in the rush of day to day life and nursery runs, but then I'm reminded that it's always there, and that it has been for a bloody long time.
I've been to the doctors about it before, I didn't want to take medication, so she gave me some links for information I could look at online, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy type treatments that I could do online or ring somebody up and talk to them. Apart from a brief look at them years ago I haven't ever gone back to them. I can't make myself ring someone and talk to them, I don't want to. When you feel like this you lack the motivation to do anything, let alone make yourself ring up a stranger and tell them how you feel. I wish I had been able to do it. I'd hoped that I'd be able to help myself get back to normal by exercising and being healthier, but it hasn't been enough and I need to stop ignoring it.
I desperately didn't want to take medication and I still don't really, but I think I might have to. I don't want to get through this little episode and just forget about it again as I have for years, ignoring the bit that's missing of me; the happy, positive person, who is able to relax and stop worrying about what I look like for a bit, to stop being so aware of everything and just have fun and try to live in the moment. I know that's hard for everyone in the modern world to do, to live in the moment, but I shouldn't feel like this. Of course a doctor may not think taking something is right for me, but I'll at least be speaking to someone again.
I am going to do something about it this time. Can you imagine if I get to seventy (fingers crossed!) and look at how I've wasted my life because I didn't do something about it at 31? It's unimaginable.
I'm really scared, but I have great people who love me, around me. And for those people who care about me – I'm not normally like this. It's not that I've been really good at hiding it, it normally just affects me a bit; it's just been a very bad few days. I'm ok.
* I certainly don't think anyone who has depression is failing at life, in any way at all. It just feels like I am when I am going through it.

"And this man believes he is "the one we have been waiting for"?
Obama may be considered a "rock star" by his supporters, but the kind of superficial glamour and excitement that this terminology suggests is not what most voters are looking for in a president. Heartland values, not Hollywood values, still define what most voters want in a president. Most voters want a president whom they perceive as loyal, courageous, hardworking, and fair. Someone who commands the respect of others through the strength of his character and the wisdom of his actions. Someone who is prepared to fight to protect his home and country from invaders. In other words, someone who appeals to voters, on a psychological or emotional level, as the kind of person they would want for a father, husband, boss, or comrade-in-arms."
"Rock stars may be fun, but they do not fit this image. Neither does Obama. His life story, while unique and interesting, bespeaks little more than an ambitious and opportunistic young man, still wet behind the ears, with an unhealthy fascination with his own ego - and potentially unreliable when the chips are down.
The American people are not going to entrust the security and prosperity of the country to such an immature and unproven man. "
If only Democratic supporters could realize that the Democratic Party does NOT represent the interests of the American people any more than the GOP. Poor Barack is left with little more than the hopes and dreams of millions of people projected onto him during this unprecedented downturn in the economy, and still, he remains faithful only to the corporate overlords who ply him with all the stock options he and his family can blow through for more lifetimes than the average cat.
All this messiah stuff was good again, for whom?
Who cares. Certainly, not the asleep at the wheel Dem supporters. Or Obama. Read more about what author Steven M. Warshawsky has to say on why Obama will not win the election here.

Information about Alfred State College tutoring center, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Alfred State College teaching assistant information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Alfred State College.
As the admission's office must sift through many applications, your goal is to stand out in a good way. If you already have top grades and high SAT or ACT scores, you can still improve your application, given other factors such as talent in sports, the quality of your essay, and extracurricular activities. The admissions essay is gaining weight at selective colleges, but please be aware that on average, a typical college application only receives 25 minutes of reading time. Therefore, keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, what kind of person they are, and their level of intellectual promise. Many colleges are paying greater attention to a student's grades not only in core courses, but in AP classes and in honors courses as well. In fact, an ideal academic record is one of progressively better grades, in classes of increasing difficulty. It is optimal to try taking advanced placement (AP) courses if they are offered, and the worst thing you can do in terms of getting into college is to drop a hard course just because you fear getting a low grade. Beyond consideration for Alfred State College tutoring center, you may think about Columbus Technical College advising for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

William Banting by Lillian Marek
William Banting was huffing and puffing by the time he reached the top of the first flight of stairs, or so the story goes. He said to himself, "I need to lose some weight."
He was probably right about that.
At five feet five inches, Banting was not a tall man—but in his mid-60s he weighed in at about 200 pounds.
He went to various doctors and tried various cures, but eventually—in 1862—he hit on a diet that actually worked for him. He lost weight at the rate of about a pound a week until he got down to 167 pounds.
So delighted was he with the success of his diet that he wrote a pamphlet about it, "Letter on Corpulence: Addressed to the Public," and printed a thousand copies, which he distributed free. It proved to be so popular that he kept reprinting it, though charging enough to cover the cost for the second printing, and eventually a bit more.
The public ate it up, so to speak. "Banting" became synonymous with dieting, and to "bant" was, in the late 19th century and beyond, what people did to lose weight.
Here is Mr. Banting's diet:
"For breakfast, I take four or five ounces of beef, mutton, kidneys, broiled fish, bacon, or cold meat of any kind except pork; a large cup of tea (without milk or sugar); a … biscuit, or one ounce
of dry toast.
"For dinner, five or six ounces of any fish except salmon, any meat except pork, any vegetable except potato, one ounce of dry toast, fruit out of a pudding [i.e., pastry], any kind of poultry or game, and two or three glasses of good claret, sherry, or Madeira —Champagne, Port and Beer are forbidden.
"For tea, Two or three ounces of fruit, a rusk or two, and a cup of tea without milk or sugar.
"For supper, Three or four ounces of meat or fish, similar to dinner, with a glass or two of claret.
"For nightcap, if required, A tumbler of grog (gin, whisky, or brandy without sugar) or a glass or two of claret or sherry."
This popular diet from the 1860s bears a distinct resemblance to the Drinking Man's Diet, a popular diet from the 1960s, and more than a slight resemblance to the Atkins diet, with its avoidance of carbohydrates.
As diets go, it is no doubt healthier than Beau Brummel's prescription of vinegar and bread. And it is certainly healthier that the diet the Austro-Hungarian Empress Elisabeth favored. Any time she went over what she considered her ideal weight, she simply stopped eating. Completely.
She was beautiful, but a bit odd.
Lillian Marek was born and raised in New York City. At one time or another she has had most of the interesting but underpaid jobs available to English majors. After a few too many years in journalism, she decided she prefers fiction, where the good guys win and the bad guys get what they deserve. The first book in her Victorian Adventure series, Lady Elinor's Wicked Adventures, won first prize in both the Launching A Star and the Windy City Four Seasons contests. The third book, A Scandalous Adventure, will be published on August 2. She now lives on Long Island, next to a pond inhabited by swans and snapping turtles, with occasional visits from cormorants, egrets, and herons.
