- Visible or audible distortion introduced into digital information, such as images or audio signals, caused when a continuous line or transition is not smoothly captured or represented because of the low resolution or sampling rate of a digital medium.
- The appearance of jagged distortions in curves and diagonal lines in computer graphics.
- Present participle of alias.
(plural aliasings)
- (signal processing, graphics, sound recording) Distortion caused by a low sampling rate, as Moire effect or stair-stepped edges.
aliasing - Computer Definition
A phenomenon that occurs when different analog continuous signals overlap and become indistinguishable. If the sampling of the analog waveform is too infrequent (less than half the highest frequency present), the digitally encoded signal cannot reliably be decoded faithfully. Rather, it can be reconstructed as an alias of the true signal. Aliasing is a major concern in the digital encoding of analog audio and video signals. Aliasing in video signals results in artifacts in video images that can manifest as jagged blockings or a tiling effect. See also analog, digital, encoding, PCM, and waveform.
(1) See alias.
(2) In computer graphics, aliasing is the stair-stepped appearance of diagonal lines when there are not enough pixels in the image or on screen to represent them realistically. Also called "stair-stepping" and "jaggies." See anti-aliasing.

Texas Couple Seeks Compensation for Vaginal Mesh Injuries
Irene Hobbs | December 14th, 2011
Vaginal mesh helpline is Helping Texas women with vaginal mesh complications. We are always looking for new news to sahre with texas women in Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Beaumont, Brownsville, College Station, Corpus Chrisit,Dallas, Del Rio, Denton, EL Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Houston, Huntsville, Killeen, Laredo, Lubbock, Mcallen, Odessa, San Antonio, San Marcos, Tylor, Victoria, Waco, Wichita Falls.
A Texas couple is seeking compensation for vaginal mesh complications that have allegedly caused them physical, emotional and financial hardship.
Donna and Ernest Painter vs. American Medical Systems, Inc. was filed by a vaginal mesh lawyer on Nov. 30, 2011 in the U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas (San Antonio). Donna Painter allegedly suffered infection and inflammation, tissue abrasion and other severe adverse health consequences after receiving a vaginal mesh implant. The Painters are seeking more than $75,000 in compensation for vaginal mesh complications.
Lawsuit demands compensation for vaginal mesh complications
Vaginal mesh is a synthetic surgical material used to support organs and tissues that tend to drop in patients suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Some patients, however, have sought transvaginal mesh lawsuit settlements after reporting that mesh transplants can irritate the conditions they were designed to help.
Plaintiffs seeking compensation for vaginal mesh complications have reported side effects including pain, urinary tract infections, transvaginal mesh extrusion into the vagina, and erosion of the mesh into the urethra, bladder or rectum. These side effects have led many to consult a vaginal mesh lawyer to see if they are eligible to pursue transvaginal mesh lawsuit settlements.
Plaintiffs seek transvaginal mesh lawsuit settlements
As with other lawsuits seeking compensation for vaginal mesh complications, the Painters accuse American Medical Systems (AMS) of failing to warn users of the risks associated with vaginal mesh implants.
According to the Painters' vaginal mesh lawyer, AMS assured users the vaginal mesh system was safe when the company was aware that it was damaging some patients. The Painters also claim AMS made misrepresentations to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concerning the system's safety, design and efficiency.

Pantic joins Chelsea
Chelsea have completed the signing of Partizan Belgrade midfielder Danilo Pantic - and immediately sent the teenager out on loan.
Pantic has joined Vitesse Arnhem - the Dutch club with which Chelsea have a partnership deal - until the end of the season.
"I am very happy to sign for Chelsea, the champions of the English Premier League, and I hope I can show my value at Vitesse in the coming season. I am honoured at the faith both clubs have shown in me," Pantic said on the Chelsea website.
Pantic, 18, has represented Serbia at youth level, and helped his country to the semi-finals of the European Under-19 Championships last summer.

So to answer this question, I think the next time I get some accidental contamination I'll test it out. (Here's where my year as a Beta Tester for a video software company comes in handy – or gets me in trouble… The curiosity of wondering "what if I do THIS…." is a great trait for that job, but may be getting me in trouble here….)
But if I'm already "doing the time" (suffering from gluten symptoms that I didn't purposely ingest) I may as well "do the crime" (do this test and eat, like, a plate of "real" pasta or sandwich or something – yikes!! I get freaked out by the mere thought!). But it usually takes me two weeks to feel remotely normal. And that's only ingesting what I assume is a small amount of gluten from the cross-contaminations I've had, since I've never intentionally eatten gluten since going gluten free. (Honestly, if you had told me three years ago that I would be able to have this much resolve, that you really couldn't PAY me to eat gluten now because it makes me feel so hideous, I never would have believed you!!!)
But if I have to pay with gluten symptoms for two weeks, maybe I'll test it out and eat some serious gluten and see if the symptoms get noticably worse.
Unless I chicken out.
Which is entirely possible.
What do you think? Have you ever tried this test? Have you found that symptoms worsen with amount of gluten ingested? I'd love to know if you've already gone through this….

HEAVY BURDEN: The Youth Enterprise Development Fund should be disbanded and the disbursement of the money entrusted to either KCB or Cooperative Bank, urges Ken Ogare, alarmed at the looting of the coffers by officials expected to assist young people to access cheap loans to start businesses or development projects. The bloated organisation, he adds, is a burden on taxpayers and yet it is not discharging its duties. "Any youth group will confirm that getting money from this body is like trying to squeeze water from a stone." His contact is [email protected].com.
EXPLOITATION OF STUDENTS: Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i's description of the rush by public universities to open satellite campuses as "madness" and "exploitation of students", is scary, but quite refreshing is his vow to stop it. "However, the elephant in the room is class sizes. Some public universities have 800 students in a class, forcing a lecturer to use a public address system. If in secondary school, 50 students in a class are too many, why is this allowed? This is not exploitation but outright robbery." His contact is [email protected]
RISKY CELEBRATION: While it is in order for schools that excel in national examinations to celebrate their success, Said Gakuria says this must not come at risk to the students expected to continue that impressive run. Said is putting on notice the school heads who allowed students to pour out of their compounds into the streets, singing and chanting. "It is quite irresponsible of the school administrations to let pupils loose, endangering their own safety. The jubilation must be confined within the school perimeter fence." His contact is [email protected]
USURIOUS RATES: Concerned about the high lending rates is Frederick Austin, who says the huge half- and full-year results being announced by banks are proof that something needs to be done to curb the exploitation of borrowers. "The interest rates are so high that debtors are being milked dry as the banks rake in billions." However, Frederick believes it would not be prudent for Parliament to introduce controls in a liberalised economy. Without mentioning any, he argues that there are better ways of bringing interest rates down. His contact is [email protected]
LOUSY MANAGEMENT: The statue outside the Safaricom Stadium at Kasarani, Nairobi, of an athlete waving the Kenyan flag is lousy and an apt reflection of the poor performance by the sports administrators, says Thomas Yebei. "The statue was poorly designed, poorly moulded, and made of poor quality materials. It's shameful and in no way represents the fine Kenyan athletics talent." In short, it is an eyesore that Thomas would have wished to see pulled down and the job given to one of the many fine artists to do something better. His contact is [email protected]
GOOD ECONOMY: The presence of illegal immigrants in Kenya "shows that the economy is doing well despite all the political noise", says X.N. Iraki. According to him, immigrants would not take such a risk to enter a hopeless country. "It means that outsiders can see economic opportunities we ourselves cannot see because we are transfixed on politics. While we cannot rule out human trafficking, great economies including the US and EU, attract lots of illegal immigrants. Who said GDP growth rate is the only measure of an economy's wellbeing?" His contact is [email protected]

Talk About Stupid
When I was a child living in California, the homes in the neighborhoods all had alleys.
My younger sister and I would love to ride our bikes up and down the unpaved alley. Oh, the adventure of hitting or swerving around potholes, dodging rocks or seeing how close we could ride by a parked car in the alley.
However....At one end of the alley, there was a very very busy street. My sister and I would pedal as fast as we could down the unpaved alley on our bikes. As we approached the very busy street, we would do a sharp left angle turn onto the sidewalk and continue on with our bike riding down the sidewalk!
WELL....TALK ABOUT STUPID! What kid in their right mind would be pedaling at top speed down an unpaved gravel alley and swerve onto a paved sidewalk to avoid getting in the street and being hit by a car!!
There were a few close calls to avoid being hit by cars....But, my sister and I continued on with our dangerous joy riding, until we moved to Oregon!!
*laughing* that does sound like fun!
That's crazy! But I bet it was a lot of fun :P
OMgosh, your a walking miracle.

In all things, positives and negatives co-exist. Live the paradox. In literature it is called dramatic tension. In Chinese philosophy it is called Yin and Yang.
Sometimes good fathers lose their cool. Some judges and policemen are corrupt. Giving too much to children can destroy their ability to care for themselves. Smothering little creatures with too much love will make them want to escape their home. Put this way, if you make life too easy for your children or grandchildren they will never grow up to fulfill any destiny.
Put it another way: Teach your children to wild and dangerously under the open sky. Then again, what do I know?

Kolkata, Sept 8 (IBNS) Wellness specialist Namita Jain launched her latest book "Sexy@Sixty" at the Oxford Bookstore here on Friday.
Communications professional and columnist Rita Bhimani was present at the launch of the book in Kolkata by the wellness expert who also offers consultations to the Bombay Hospital as a Clinical Fitness Specialist.

"The book is for simplicity & effectiveness. My dream is to spread wellness to the people. Sexy@Sixty provides how to be fit with the diet mantra," she said.
Namita Jain, who offers various fitness workshops across the country, said every woman should proud to be at 60.
She said the whole confidence comes within a person only when she is fit by maintaining herself with some regular activities like exercising, swimming, yoga, meditation, regular workouts.
Jain said men and women would be happy only when they remain comfortable and confident.
Jain stressed a lot on exercising. She said one should find some physical activity always to be stress free.

text: Small Bathroom Ideas - Modular Home Addition ArticlesMarch 13, 20131 Back to HomeTweet Maximizing Bathroom Space Nobody should ever have to worry about falling in the bathtub when using the bathroom sink or have guests mistake the bathroom for a closet. Unfortunately, not every bathroom affords that luxury of space since traditionally it is one of the smallest rooms in the home. At almost any given time you can turn on your television to the home improvement channel and watch an entire show dedicated to bathroom makeovers. Maximizing available space in the bathroom is an issue facing many homeowners. There are many types of space-saving cabinets and gadgets available that can make minimal improvements here and there, but essentially they all leave you limited to predefined spatial restrictions. You could replace a full-size bathtub with a stand up shower, but this is done at the expense of sacrificing comfort and functionality. In many cases, a home addition in the form of a new bathroom is a great choice for the extra amount of space it can provide while increasing the value of your home. Simple and Cost-Effective Imagine that you could define the amount of space dedicated to your bathroom, easily design the layout in the most practical and visually appealing way, then have it installed in the least amount of time…it's easier and more affordable than you think! Modular Home Additions has a proven method whereby they use factory built components, saving you up to 30% over conventional methods. Cutting-edge design software makes designing your addition quick and simple, while being extremely accurate and helping to ensure there are no hidden costs between the estimate and the finished installation. One of the most irritating aspects of home renovations and additions is being quoted a price and having the finished amount substantially more than was budgeted. A great amount of pride is taken in helping you stay within your financial guidelines. Quality Construction and Minimal Disruption You might be tempted to think that the significant savings that Modular Home Additions offers come at the expense of quality and comfort, but it is just the opposite. You save money in addition to top notch workmanship and minimal disruption to your lifestyle. It is common for over 50% of your addition to be pre-constructed in the climate-controlled factory, thus helping to eliminate weather-induced delays. The choice is easy! Back to Home

Hospital bosses with responsibility for the treatment of a pregnant woman with learning difficulties did not launch legal proceedings quickly enough, a Court of Protection judge has said.
Managers had asked Mr Justice Baker to decide whether the woman should have a caesarean section against her wishes - and he has criticised them for not giving lawyers representing the woman enough time to consider evidence.
The judge made decisions about what treatment would be in the woman's best interests at a hearing in the Court of Protection - where issues relating to people who might lack the mental capacity to make decisions are analysed - in London in November.
He had analysed submissions from lawyers representing the trust and from lawyers representing the woman.
The woman's lawyers had been instructed by staff at the office of the Official Solicitor, who offer help to vulnerable people embroiled in litigation.
Mr Justice Baker, who also sits in the Family Division of the High Court, had approved a treatment plan put forward by the trust.
He ruled that doctors could perform a caesarean section - even though the woman wanted to give birth naturally at home .
The judge has outlined concerns about the approach of trust bosses in a written ruling on the case.
He said the woman, who is in her 20s and lives in the south of England, could not be identified.
Mr Justice Baker said the trust should also not be identified in reports of the litigation in case publication of its name created an information jigsaw which led to the woman's identity being revealed.
The judge said such cases raised issues relating to the "most precious and valued human rights and freedoms" and placed an "unusually onerous responsibility" on judges.
But he said trust bosses had begun legal proceedings less than two weeks before the baby was due.
"The issues ... involved a number of sensitive and difficult decisions on which (the woman) through ... the Official Solicitor, had an absolute right to be heard," said Mr Justice Baker.
"Because of the shortage of time, the Official Solicitor had very little opportunity to digest and analyse the evidence.
"As a result, there was a significant danger that issues might not have received the care and attention they deserved."
He added: "This extremely unsatisfactory situation has been brought about by the failure of the trust to start proceedings at an early stage."
The judge said trust bosses had "manifestly failed" to comply with guidelines.
Nevertheless, he said he was satisfied that - "thanks to the efforts of the Official Solicitor and his representatives" - all issues had been given "full consideration".
Lawyers for the trust had said the woman was in the latter stages of pregnancy and specialists thought that she lacked the mental capacity to make decisions about care.
They said she came from Africa, might have been subjected to female genital mutilation and had scarring on her abdomen allegedly resulting from ''tribal rituals''.
The woman had a ''phobia of all medical and health professionals'' and had been ''non-compliant'' with staff providing antenatal care, Mr Justice Baker was told.
She wanted to give birth naturally at home, but doctors said a planned caesarean section would be in the best interests of the woman and child.
Medics said a planned caesarean section would mean that the birth could be safely managed - and stress and trauma could be reduced.
The judge was told that the woman's parents agreed with doctors.
Staff at the office of the Official Solicitor also agreed that a caesarean section would be in the woman's best interests.
Mr Justice Baker said he was satisfied that the woman had a mild to moderate learning disability and lacked the mental capacity to make decisions about her care.
He had approved the trust's caesarean section plan, saying the evidence was ''one way''.
The judge had said medics could use any ''reasonable and proportionate restraint'' they thought ''appropriate or necessary''.
Mr Justice Baker said the woman had subsequently given birth to a son.
He said the caesarean section had been successful and ''minimal restraint'' had been required.
Barrister Nageena Khalique QC had led the trust's legal team. Katie Gollop QC had led the woman's legal team.

I would like to include some php snippet on my home page that displays the date the site was last updated, i.e. had content added or modified.
Is there an easy way to do this? Would I have to do a db query of nodes, sorted by date and then pull the date information from the first entry (hopefully not)?
If anyone has a snippet of code that would achieve this I'd be grateful.
Anyone? I'm looking for the same thing.
me too
This is exactly what I'm looking for...anyone?
and me...
It would be great to add that kind of snippet.
One feature I would like to add (that maybe it´s good just for me): it would be very cool if the snippet could just count the last updated/added date of content types, excluding other site´s changes (ie. adding a module, or a block).
Buenos Aires | Argentina
Possible solution
Using the views.module I have been able to make a block listing the latest additions to my site (images). I have choosen to let it count the time since the update, but I believe it's also possible to just use the date.
:-) Mikkel
www.lostmonkey.dk (Block on the top left)
You are right. Views is
You are right. Views is indeed the module to use for this. And, if I am not mistaken there is actually a "Last Updated ..." field that you can set.
get the date of latest changed node
Here's what I'm using. Please post if this is wrong or there's a better way. Thanks!
function last_node_update ($format = 'g:i a') {
$result = db_query('SELECT title, changed FROM {node} WHERE status=1 ORDER BY changed DESC LIMIT 1');
if ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) return date($format, $node->changed);
return '';
another option
based on maybourne's code... his code didn't work for me, so i modified it.. and now it works... so i thought i'd share
$format2 = 'g:i a';
$result2 = db_query("SELECT title, changed FROM {node} WHERE status = 1 ORDER BY changed DESC");
if ($node = db_fetch_object($result2)) {
$output2 .= date($format2, $node->changed);
print $output2;
Thanks both of you
Before I try this...
First, where does it go?
Second, does this only get updated when pages are updated or added, rather than when comments are added?
only displays time ... not date ...
hey this is great thanks...
unfortunately it only displays the time it was last updated for me and not the actual date... tho maybe this might be different tomorrow? and show the day as well?
will wait and see
Same here
So I tried:
$output2 .= format_date($node->changed, 'custom','m/d/Y'); and it works.

displaying last update date
Thanks, it worked for me, the only advise for those who want to implement this block is to go to "Administer > Content management > Content types > Page" and once there activate, on the "Default options" field, the "Create new revision" box, in this way if you don't create a new content but modify an older one your "last update" block will be also updated.
One more question
how do i do to display the hour also?
The format_date function uses the same formatting as PHP's date command: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

produces January when I only want the native Danish Januar.
I have tried looking through Drupal.org but I'm not a coder and I'm unable to get the right code :/
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I managed to find out by myself using format_date instead :)

<?php print $submitted?> | Last revised <?php print format_date($changed, $type = 'medium', $format = '', $timezone = NULL) ?>

There are cleaner ways to do
There are cleaner ways to do so.. see http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/displaying%20last%20updated%20or%20ch...
There's also a handbook page on this topic: http://drupal.org/node/511642
Submitted By
The Submitted By module provides a token that can be used to show this, and you can vary the format by node type.
easier way...
It might be easier to use the views module to create a block to display that info. Using the default "tracker" view, set it to create a block, display the block as a list, only display 1 node, and remove all of the fields except the date created. This should give a listing of just the creation date of the most recently added content.
Talk about a lot of overhead!!!

and don't forget to add some
and don't forget to add some sorting to the view: sort by last node updated date descending.
Last updated <?php print
Last updated <?php print strftime( "%d.%m.%Y", $node->changed)?>
What is no last update?
This works great, but if $node->changed is null or zero, then the display is "Last updated 12-31-1969" which is not too useful. This seems to be the case for pages like the Contact page. I changed it to:
<?php if ($node->changed): ?>Last updated <?php print strftime( "%m-%d-%Y", $node->changed)?><?php endif; ?>
Why are you seeing zero?
IIRC, the node module sets "updated" and "created" to the current time when the node is saved. If you're seeing zero there, I would look into whichever module set the value incorrectly.

Is Contact a node?
I have not dug into Drupal that deeply yet, but is a function like Contact a node? I don't think so, which is why the value is not valid.
do you put the code into a block or into a template file?
this is exactly what i'm looking for, but i can't figure out where to put the code. a block? the page itself? ideally, i'd like the "last updated" info to appear directly under the page title.
Based on that, I would suggest modifying the template to add that the the "submitted by..." information in your template.

different date formatting for different nodes?
now here's a question: how do i have different formats for the different nodes? for example, in forums and on comments, i want to show the usual submitted by name - date. i turned that function on in admin>>themes. on pages and a custom node i called voter_guides, i only want it to show "last updated" information.
i put the following in node.tpl.php and got the last updated information to show:
 Last updated <?php print strftime( "%B %d, %Y", $node->changed)?>
i don't want any date information *at all* to show on my front page.
so what do i have to do to show certain formats to certain node types?
thanks in advance.
ok, here's how i solved it
<?php if ($node->type == "voter_guide" || "page"): ?>

 Last updated <?php print strftime( "%B %d, %Y", $node->changed)?>

<?php endif; ?>
so i told it to only print last updated information on "voter_guide" OR "page" and that worked just fine.
wrong date
I tried this but my page reads:
Last updated December 31, 1969
it dates in the 60's, what is with that?
That would indicate that the datestamp you are getting is zero (or null).
i see, but how can that be
i see, but how can that be fixed?
Make sure you have the right stuff
Put this in your "node.tpl.php" file to see if the node is actually even present. Since $node->changed is core stuff, I suspect that there is some reason why the node is not actually available to you in your theme.

Use node.tpl.php and template.php
This is the way I solved this. It may seem quite obvious to old-hands but it took me a while to work it out so I thought I'd share.
I first tried:
print strftime( "%m-%d-%Y", $node->changed)
It worked okay except my host's server time is set to GMT which, over here in Australia, threw the dates out.
I needed a better solution. Here's how I did it - step-by-step.
1. In Site building > Themes > Configure look at the 'Display post information on' box on the right and check the content types you want date updated applied to.
2. Make sure you have a copy of node.tpl.php in your theme directory. You can edit this file to place the print $submitted declaration wherever you want on the page.
I wanted it at the bottom of the page, below the content, so placed the declaration at the bottom of the file.
3. Make sure you have a copy of template.php in your theme directory. Add the code provided at http://drupal.org/node/511642 to the file.
If the phptemplate_node_submitted function is already declared in the file you will either have to delete or comment this existing declaration out.
4. Edit the code provided at http://drupal.org/node/511642 to customise the date modified output.
I wanted a stripped-down output so used this:
function phptemplate_node_submitted($node) {
$time_unit = 86400; // number of seconds in 1 day => 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds
$threshold = 1;
if ($node->changed && (round(($node->changed - $node->created) / $time_unit) > $threshold)){ // difference between created and changed times > than threshold
return t('@changed', array(
'@changed' => format_date($node->changed, 'custom' , 'l, d F Y'),
// '!username' => theme('username', $node),
// '@created' => format_date($node->created, 'small'),
return t('@datetime', array(
// '!username' => theme('username', $node),
'@datetime' => format_date($node->created, 'custom' , 'l, d F Y'),
That's it.
Works well and the dates reflect local time as defined in the Drupal set-up.
can not get last updated to display
Thanks for the instructions, I must be missing something because I can not get "last updated" to display on a post.
I need to get this working on a Drupal 5 site. I'm using MAMP as my dev site and I've tried the garland theme and Newsflash theme. I still see "submitted by" even though the post have been updated and it's more than a day since the post has been created. Any suggestions?
Can I do something similar?
I'm trying to do something similar to this by displaying in a block, the date/time that a particular node was last updated. Is that possible?
Actually, Ideally, I would prefer to display "updated" in the block when registered users login and they haven't visited the node since the last update, similar to the way news items are flagged.
Hi Martyn,
The dashboard here on Drupal.org does that.
I guess it's this one:
But Drupal.org is probably running Drupal 7 now and this module is not a D7, yet.
Maybe there's a post somewhere describing the current setup of Drupal.org ? I searched, but I couldn't find anything.
Still Drupal 6

i using display suite and is very easy to add last edit date.
goto node display and Add new code field with the below code and that it. arrange the field display position with display suite.
print strftime( "%d-%m-%Y", $object->changed)
Drupal 7
In drupal 7 you can just add the following in node.tpl.php instead of the default $submitted value. I moved mine to underneath the main content.
if ($submitted) {
echo 'This page was last modified on ' . date( "F j, Y",$node->changed);
} ;
aeski, pls could you expand on that answer.
Sorry, but please could you clarify for a newbie...
Where is the node.tpl.php file? I can't find it. Sorry to be dumb.
Theme´s Folder
Hi there,
It´s inside your theme´s folder.
still can't find it!
I have looked & looked & feeling dumber by the minute, but it's just not there!
Is it definitely called node.tpl.php in Drupal 7??
EDIT- I've stuck it in page.tpl.php. It's showing the last updated date, but it doesn't recognise the $submitted variable so I had to remove that.
Which theme?
Which theme are you using?

Views and Block method
Another very simple way to do this without creating any code is to create a view that grabs the updated timestamp of a node that is captured using the contextual filter and throwing the output into a block view.
This way the view dynamically grabs the last update timestamp from the active node and renders the block. Output the block at the bottom of your content.

@Stephen Ollman Can you
@Stephen Ollman Can you provide a little more detail about how you're getting the date in the contextual filter for the node?
Last Updated date for node in D-7
You can display a node's last updated date by adding a small code snippet in your theme's page.tpl.php. Though $node is available on every node display, You can check this by using dsm($node), provided you have 'devel' installed.
In this $node->changed will give Unix timestamp for last updated date of particular node. Display this "$node->changed" at a place of your choice in page.tpl.php by formatting it in any date format.
$date = date('d-M-Y', $node->changed); print $date;

The more correct place to put
The more correct place to put such a snippet would be in
node.tpl.php if you want to do this in the theme.
Personally, I would add it in
hook_node_view() where it can be part of the node's output. Even better would be to also add
hook_extra_fields() so that the admin can place it according to their preferences.
The more correct place to put/better way-out
Thank you @NancyDru for pointing this out.
Using "hook_field_extra_fields", this implementation can be done like below:
function mymodule_field_extra_fields() {
$extra['node']['page'] = array(
'display' => array(
'updatedate' => array(
'label' => t('Update Date'),
'description' => t('Update Date'),
'weight' => 0,
return $extra;
function mymodule_entity_view($entity, $type, $view_mode, $langcode) {
if ($type == 'node' && $entity->type == 'page') {
$extra_fields = field_extra_fields_get_display('node', $entity->type, $view_mode);
$date = date('d-M-Y', $entity->changed);
$entity->content['updatedate'] = array(
'#markup' => '
Last updated on '.$date.'
'
Again, entity_view can be replaced by node_view
sandbox project
I've written a sandbox module that does that for D7.
Please see here.
It just creates a block with the comment "Last updated: @some_date" that you can place in your page.
I needed that for myself and couldn't believe that noone has written that... ;-)
KISS (Keep it Simple & STRAIGHTFORWARD)
Did I miss something? This seems simple. The following worked for me, placed at the bottom of node.tpl.php:
<?php print "
Date last changed " . date("M jS, Y @ H:i:s T",$node->changed) . "
"; ?>
Sort of
Yes, that would show the date that particular node was changed. But the stuff above is to show a site-wide date of last change. Except that entities other than nodes are not included.
Site Update Date Requirement
Hey Nancy,
I came into this thread very late and may not have read all the details but I ran into this problem recently and the issue I had with the requirements, as well as yours, is what are you defining as the "site"? Is it just the content, which are typicaly nodes, or everything that appears on the site including, logo, icons, image, buttoms, menus, headers, footers, etc. At the same time, what kind of changes you wish to convey to their audience as to what changed? For example, if there is a typo in a particular article, what value does that have to the user to know this has been update? Highly irrelevent if you ask me. However, if there is a change to what I call as the Product Content, that is the site's main content, then yes there is value to that. For example, if an insurance company modifies their health plans, the public needs to know how current that info is.
With that said, you may want to use take the following MySQL script into a function:
SELECT MAX(n.changed) FROM node n WHERE status = 1 AND n.type IN (article, page, etc.)
For entities, this module might be of use, https://www.drupal.org/project/entity_modified and if it is, you can enhance the SQL above to use a UNION. Note that if you have pertinent content in blocks, this will not work since the block schema does not store dates. You will need to use the NodeBlock module for that.
I hope I understood your need.
Thanks, Raul
It is not my need. Like you, I understand the low value of such an indicator. I was just trying to help those who started this thread, which was probably before the advent of entities.
Here my module for Drupal 7
Is there a way of making the
Is there a way of making the [site:last-updated] value available as a token, that could then be used in conjunction with the "Token Filter" module ?
(note, I'm referring to the last time the site was updated, not the current node or a comment)
Drupal 7 solution
This code produces a variable that can be used however you fancy that will show the last time any node was updated.
In your sites > all > themes > [theme name] folder, open "template.php"
(create the file if it doesn't already exist)
In that file, paste this code (changing the theme name to your own !)
function [your_theme_name]_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
$query = db_select('node', 'n');
$query->condition('status', 1);
$max= $query->execute()->fetchField();
$maxdate = date('d.m.Y',$max);
dpm($maxdate, "MaxDate");
As you can see, I've got the "devel" module installed, allowing me to use the "dpm" command just to display on the page that my code is working.
I hope that helps
I am also looking for the same things as you. Perhaps no one wants to share
Can you provide a little more
@Nasi - the code that I
@Nasi - the code that I supplied tells you the last time any node was updated. Is that not close enough for your requirements ?

Memorial coach denies another motive
Published 10:25 pm, Thursday, November 8, 2012
Port Arthur Memorial football coach Kenny Harrison denies that his team would like to avoid a first-round playoff game against highly-regarded Manvel.
If the Titans (8-1 overall, 4-1 in District 21-5A) win at home Friday against La Porte (8-1, 5-0), they won't have to face Manvel (8-1) next week in the first round. Manvel reached the Class 4A Division II state semifinals last season prior moving up to 5A.
The winner between Memorial and La Porte will lock up 21-5A's top seed in the Class 5A Division II bracket and will play either Pasadena Memorial or Alvin. The loser gets a seemingly much-tougher game against Manvel.
"We'll have to play a good team one way or the other," Harrison said. "We consider ourselves a legitimate opponent and we're sure teams don't want to play us either in the first round."
Harrison eluded to Memorial's trip to the 5A Division II state semifinals last season.
The game against La Porte should indicate where Memorial stands compared to a year ago when it lost to La Porte 24-20 late in district play. Memorial later beat that same La Porte team 34-6 in the state quarterfinals.
Memorial's high-powered offense, which averaged 39.5 points per game last year, has not seemed to drop off as the Titans have scored 38.1.
"They're athletic, their team speed is way up there," La Porte head coach Jeff LeReau said. "They've been pretty good at throwing the football and countering back with the run. So you can't just sit back on the pass. Defensively, it's a good speedy team and they're hard to hit the outside on. They're excellent on pass coverage."
LeReau said earning the top playoff seed in the Division II bracket is most important in today's game, but that isn't the only thing at stake.
A win by Memorial would create a three-way tie for the 21-5A title with Memorial, La Porte and North Shore, unless North Shore loses tonight against Deer Park. La Porte can earn an outright district title with a win.
"We set out to be champions," Harrison said. "Our ultimate goal is to be a state champion. For our kids to have an opportunity to win a district championship and keep on pace and still have an opportunity at a state championship, that would be big for us."
As for simply wanting a win against La Porte to avoid a first-round game against Manvel - Memorial will have none of that talk.
"Either way it goes, our main focus is to get to state," Memorial safety Jalen Barnes said. "So if we're the second seed it doesn't matter."

I lost my first baby, bandana boy, sooo sad. The decision was hard. And even though it may have been obvious, the loss of a pet is never easy. I still remember the day I had to go back to NY to send my childhood dog to doggie heaven…..I was so traumatized by it all, I swore I would never get another dog. Umm, I lied. But, who could resist this adorable puppy (he is the one in the middle, and that is his mom and brother, german short haired pointers!)
However, that experience prepared me for this. Helped me help my kids. I made sure they each got to say goodbye and tell him they loved him. As much as I tried to explain it, the young ones didn't really get it all. But they know he is NOT coming home. They asked me "how is he going to get to heaven, can I go with him, and can we get a new dog?" All of which sent my oldest into hysterics…because she gets it and was begging "please don't do "it" mommy". Eventually, thru the tears, she saw how difficult it was for (me and) the dog and as we had his "send off party" she started to come to terms with the fact that it was happening….now:(
The Animal Hospital was amazing on short notice! He's gone there since he was a puppy. However, that doesn't mean he always liked it…and as a matter of fact he hated it sometimes. SO, I was relieved they worked it out so we could drive there with the dog on his bed in the back of the truck and they would come out and do it all right there! No moving, carrying, NO traumatizing my dog. Had no idea that was an option. Things have really changed! THANK you Dr. Smith! It went SO much better than expected, I was a mess, but the dog was calm and at peace….which is ALL that mattered.
We're lucky to have so many great years and memories with him. I remember telling my mother I wish he could wear diapers, it would be so much easier, lol! Obedience/social training with Capital Canines was a hoot, BUT he finally graduated, which is good beacuse he loved going to the dog park when he was younger…look ma, no fighting! He dressed and enjoyed our annual Halloween parties and was a HUGE part of my life and our family for 16 years…a GREAT dog, protector, good listener, a friend, and was overflowing with unconditional love….always knowing just when you needed him.
It is so quiet, an eeryfeeling, I don't like it. I keep looking for him…omg, the loss of a pet is hard, takes time, and really hurts, no matter how many times you go thru it!
Love you buddy,
Do you have a pet? Lose a pet? How do you say goodbye? How can you prepare? What is your favorite memory? Favorite picture? Any advice on preserving the memory (for young kids)?

Artist Zane Lewis, an elusive and evolving talent, has reemerged within the New York art scene with a fresh and new aesthetic. When you stand before one his newest works, among the Shatter Paintings collection, you are presented with a kaleidoscopic garden of glass, a reflective playground for the eyes. With a minimal, neo-conceptual execution, his mirrored "paintings" offer a glistening ensemble of hued splendor. A discourse between notions of the "natural" and the "industrial"- due to organic reflections coupled with pre-fabricated found material- engages the viewer. Lewis also adds a twist to this aesthetic, in that each painting subtly renders human abstractions of life, death, and wraith of the intangible.
Lewis' oil pieces Untitled (Black Cake Batter Study), 2010 and Untitled (White Cake Batter Study), 2010 present dichotomous realms of utopia v. dystopia. In Untitled (Black Cake Batter), 2010, blooming petals of sharp, broken glass retreat and remain in a saturated oblivion of wavy black oil paint. The ominous abyss holds swirls of antediluvian deluges that bound the slivered glass. Hues of teal, yellow, and pink sink into the oil and present luminous colors within the murky soil. Aesthetically, the oil-based medium instates a sense of intentionality, and a true grounding nature, which counterbalances the gestural sculpting and overall arbitrariness of form, which is a style found in both paintings. Ultimately, the presence of these contrasting, though complimentary, motifs of style and societal state drafts an ironic sense harmony and balance, and in doing so, offers a multi-leveled appreciation for the onlooker to explore.
The dark obscurity found in the black oil piece marks a high contrast to the neighboring white, Shangri-La-esque painting, Untitled (White Cake Study), 2010. As I absorbed this piece, I fell into an entrancing recess of delight and complexity. As one surrenders to such an adjournment from reality, and follows the peaks and valleys of blissful white, one is able to quickly get lost in the cloud-like work. Drifting to a cerebral place, an abstract version of reality. This amble to a conceptual impression of reality carries utopian/dystopian qualities, due to the beautiful yet cold and industrialized nature of the work. An escapism, but one that still pays homage and sanction to the fidelity of human reality.
The mirrored Shatter Paintings, similar to the one exhibited at the Phillips de Pury 2011 Whitney Art Party [seen above, Untitled (Mirror Study), 2011], truly investigate, and deftly present, the impalpable obscurities of life and death. The mirrors provide a complimentary backdrop to the ceaseless dance of light refraction and reflection, which occurs when there is an inclusion of natural or synthetic light. As one moves across the piece, a humble reception of light commences– a flip-book of shifting color, perspective, and angular dimension with each changing viewpoint. These works take the viewer through the spiritual levels of mortality using light, along with thematic representation and conceptual heightening.
Untitled (Black Mirror Study), 2011 piece, detail image seen above, effortlessly exhibits the degree of beauty and power that color and light can have when bounded to a reflective canvas. Moreover, the presence of color, light, and moxie dimensionality displayed in Lewis' 2011 Mirror Study pieces are reminiscent to the multi-dimensional and conceptual work of James Turrell. Though undeniably different to Lewis' style, Turrell, who is known for his magnificent light installations, often experiments with the interplay of cosmic space, perception, and light. His work highlights the power light can have when introduced to a small or large space. Lewis' mirrored work, such as Untitled (Black Mirror Study), 2011, display a similar interaction of these elements, though in small intermittent spaces that are framed with glass. Ultimately utilizing revelation and movement of light to create small, collective installations. Both artists successfully take a stagnant piece — that holds respect for light and space– and activate these elements to produce a kinetic projector of light.
What is most intriguing about these mirrored Shatter Paintings, though, is that they simultaneously engender fragility and danger. These themes reflect a familiar concept of preciousness and dangerousness that we constantly encounter in human life, bringing an organic sensibility into a highly fabricated artwork.
The light that comes into these pieces illuminates vitality into each shard of glass, bringing color and ethereal energy to each fragmented piece. As time appreciates, a spectator begins to feel a foreign element gain speed and energy within the piece. This technique gives life to a heightened order, which forms a third element which then lingers within the luring garden of painted glass. This apparitional-spirit of arbitrary light and form changes in color and time of arrival, which then brings a heightened order of existence into this medium of Shatter Paintings. Witnessing the performance of light that occurs within these paintings is similar to the mesmerizing effects of staring into a glistening jewel. These paintings facilitate and shelter another level of art, a level that reflects the boundless, unpredictable nature of life and death. Ultimately framing the inevitable, but beautiful, intangible.
Meeting Zane to discuss his work, inspirations, and any stories I could drag out of him, was an absolute pleasure. We stopped by Roberta's Pizza joint off the Morgan L and talked art, childhood memories, skateboarding, and the ungraspable concepts life throws at us. With an endearing hint of a Texas accent, Mr. Lewis answered a few questions of mine, shedding some "light", on an even more scintillating subject.
You are known mostly for your Drip Paintings or "art bleeding" pieces. When did you start this style and why were you compelled to make "art bleed"?
I made the first "drip" painting in late 2005. Before that I had been making sculptures and installations which incorporated colored liquids and mechanisms that dripped ink. I wanted to take that way of working and implement it into a painting. I was intrigued by the idea of a kinetic painting, but was struggling with wanting to use paint instead of the colored liquids I was accustomed to. The paint presented an obstacle being that it dries, so I couldn't use it in the same way I had been using the liquids. Long story short, I developed a technique that cascaded many colors of paint at once without the paint mixing together into a single color or becoming murky. I figured out a way to make the paint always look wet as well. When I applied the cascaded to an image it would take on the appearance of the image bleeding or weeping, perhaps, so I ran with that…
In my childhood I remember looking at sculptures and paintings in museums and imagining them moving around, kinetic as opposed to static. Usually the figurative works I'd imagine crying. Being from San Antonio Texas there is quite a lot of Catholic imagery within the city and culture. Lots of Jesus on the cross bleeding and the Virgin Mary with tears so I guess my exposure to that lead me to imagine other images doing the same thing…images that weren't religious. That definitely influenced my work and ideas. I wanted to make static images feel alive or at least gesture towards that notion and space where something becomes alive. The act of the drip technique applied to an image could change the context and feeling of it completely. So I played with that power in different ways while working through concepts ranging from worship to idolatry, vanity, decay, etc.
This earlier work of yours contains a lot of pop-driven visuals in works with the bleeding technique, why depict these images specifically?
At the time I was very interested in the power of images–how certain images can transcend both time and place, wherein that certain images are limitless and have the ability to communicate on massive levels. They can share an understanding between the bum on the street and the Harvard PHD and can be effective to both as well. I'm not talking about the McDonalds sign or some bullshit like that- I'm talking about images that contain a life of their own, and a history. Images that are so powerful they have an ability to create even a false history and/or false future within a single individual's mind and even a culture's mind. An image that becomes more relevant than the actual thing itself managing to supersede it's true original, where it be an object, person, etc.
So I wanted to create my own images that functioned similarly. I thought of my approach as a dj remixing a song. I'd remix and reformat the images I was working with and apply my own technique and process finally presenting it in a way that that particular image hadn't been seen before, yet utilizing some of the images original inherent power.
Often I'd allude to religious notions and iconography…that's pretty much where the drip element came into play. The paint drip sometimes was to emphasize visual stigmata, christening the image and yielding it religious nobility, while simultaneously discussing worship of false idols. I also wanted the work to take on this play between life and death…hence, the image was "bleeding" emphasizing that it was alive, but there was a duality in that it could also be dying too.
So, when and why did you begin to move away from the drip technique and move toward your newer aesthetic?
In 2009 the drips became less prevalent in my work and the imagery became less specific. I was making new things and the drips weren't as crucial…they were intertwined with the composition as opposed to seeping from or on top of it. I was gradually losing interest in the imagery. I was more interested in apparitions than specific imagery.
I even started to use the drips in a different way. In the beginning the drips were a precise controlled gesture, but then I started to use them excessively with a looser messier hand to submerge my images and drown them in the paint. Eventually the drips began to destroy the images and the works took on a feeling of decay. The pieces were less luscious and glossy and instead crumbled and broken looking. Whether I knew it or not at the time, this was symbolic of my departure from that body of work.
The last piece I made with the drips/imagery was Untitled (Destroyed Jesus), a piece I completed in the Summer of 2010.
It was a turning point for me in a major way. The painting went threw a number of stages, but I just kept feeling like I could push it further so I reworked it several times. Actually, I even exhibited it in New York at one point, then after the show I brought it back to the studio and annihilated the thing. I was pushing really hard with that piece and ultimately it ended up something I could never duplicate.
I was satisfied with where I took it, and more importantly, where it took me. The evolution of Untitled (Destroyed Jesus) was a pivotal place and piece within my career. Making that painting was brutal and exhausting like a boxing match but very cathartic. Eventually I finished it, like a 13 round battle I had won, but got the shit kicked out of me doing so. I defeated that fucker and had mastered that aesthetic stage…it was time to move on.
How did you come to the distinct aesthetic style and grueling operational process, which embodies your newer work of "Shatter Paintings"?
It was a process of evolution mostly. While I was working on (Destroyed Jesus) I was also making these pieces called Mirror, Mirrors. These were wall pieces that looked like a framed mirror but when viewed from certain angles an image of a large skull would appear then disappear… These were fascinating objects…they functioned on many levels having interactive, experiential, and phenomenological qualities to them. So I was taking a liking to these objects and I wanted to introduce those same characteristics into my new work. Bring the dynamic of the Mirror, Mirrors, but into a painting. I wanted my paintings to be multi-dimensional on both a physical and conceptual level – I wanted to break this notion of a painting being a static-image and somehow make "paintings" with infinite compositions. A painting that never looks the same twice.
Are all of your shatter paintings constructed with mostly found material? And why glass and mirrors?
I guess the physicality of the material along with the illusiveness of the reflection attracts me. I had this large closet in my room as a kid with mirrored doors and I would imagine it was a portal into another dimension. Sometimes, I would stand pressed against it looking into the iris of my eye for long periods of time. Looking into this space in my iris, a space that doesn't exist, that had a white light and all these things floating around, it was like a kinetic void…like the twilight zone or something…haha!
There was also a time I got stuck in an elevator as a little kid alone. When the doors finally opened, I ended up on some floor that was under massive construction. I kinda freaked out being up there and somehow managed to almost get killed by a huge piece of mirror that almost fell on me…
As for the materials in the pieces, they vary and are not all glass. The glass, though, I swept up off the streets around the neighborhood my studio is in. It's from car windows and windshields that have been broken and smashed in. In general I have always felt glass has this beauty and danger to it. We use it to protect us in life, yet it can easily be dangerous itself.
Going in another direction– Has any art movement or artist(s) of the past or present inspired you to a degree that you feel your art could be seen as an extension to any particular movement or inspiration?
I wouldn't say that my work is a direct extension of any particular style or movement…sure I've looked at and studied art and think about different styles and genres, but I've also looked at and studied all sorts of things that I think about more often than art. I mean, hey, if somebody looks at my work and says, "He was inspired by minimalism." then they are making that judgment. If they feel that vibe, it's cool by me. They could also feel a sense of architectural design, or astronomy; they could even be bored and not think or feel anything. 😉
As for an extension of my inspirations…hmm, well my work has nothing to do with skateboarding but it has always held a resonating inspiration for me. Not in the "I live in New York and skateboarding and graffiti are super cool" way, I don't give a shit about that- and just for the record I haven't skated in years. What I'm trying to say is, I grew up skateboarding. It was a huge part of my life until my late teens…it taught me to look at objects in a different way. The creative process started before I even knew it back then. Skateboarding was the medium through which there were no rules, and the landscape existed, as an obstacle one would approach at ones own will, in ones own way. I learned how to view things differently by molding the original intention of an object a completely new direction. To use that object, in a creative way, to express my individual style and technique on the skateboard. Simply, a bench became something to slide on or flip trick over as opposed to it being intended to sit on. That way of "seeing" is similar to sculpture.
So, if you had to group yourself with any other artists of the now, who would it be? Which artist(s), do you think, share a certain degree of similarity to your work?
Hmm…Willy Wonka?

Authors Thoughts
Want to make the best burgers, meatballs or even meatloaf? Well then, Grind Your Own Beef!
For the best flavor, the meat you use for grinding shouldn't be too lean. We like to combine chuck and sirloin for burgers, with the addition of a bit of fat (try bacon!). The key, no matter what kind of blend you opt for is making sure that the mix has a relatively high fat content. That's where the juiciness and much of the flavor comes from. For a luscious burger, try 70 percent meat and 30 percent fat.
Brisket, Hanger Steak or Short Rib add flavor too, or how about getting really extravagant and grinding your own Kobe beef burgers? (One of the best burgers we've ever had was at Minetta Tavern in NYC, who grinds dry-aged steak with short rib and brisket for the bold flavor of its Black Label burger.)
The method of grinding your own meat (lamb, pork, veal, poultry or game) using the grinder attachment of your Kitchen Aid Mixer works best. You can use your food processor too, but be sure to pulse instead of blend, for better texture. Freezing the meat helps it hold its shape better and keeps it firm, so it goes through the grinder more easily, so consider freezing the cubed meat for 10 to 15 minutes before grinding. Also, starting with semi-frozen meat is smart from a food safety standpoint.
Chef's Tip: Put the blade, the grinding plate and the rotating "grind worm" in the freezer along with the meat. Then, assemble the grinder when you're ready to begin. If you have room in the freezer, you can even store these parts in the freezer all the time.
So, test a few combinations (or invite us over for burgers!) and let us know how your signature grind turns out.

Tips to Help Retouch Your Resume
On your resume, image is everything. You're looking to put the best possible version of yourself on paper. You might be happy with your standard resume, but every time you add a new position, skill, or achievement, it's worth revisiting the whole thing and making some changes.
Little tweaks to your resume are all you need—not a complete overhaul. Think of a photographer making small changes to a photo. You might have heard about a recent development of computer programs to identify photos that have been drastically retouched. Too much airbrushing and too many other alterations can make images deceiving.
The same technology might not exist for analyzing resumes, but when recruiters dig into every detail and ask you in-depth questions about your past experiences, they can tell when you're embellishing. You should make just enough changes to really nail the position you want, but avoid getting too fancy or deceptive.
Keep the below dos and don'ts in mind when you revisit your resume. When carefully applied, a few modifications can take you to the next level.
DO Use More Active Verbs
Focus on the actions you've performed and show that you've been a leader and planner, not just a follower.
DON'T Use Buzzwords
Cut out trendy words and phrases that don't really say anything about your work or your accomplishments; "synergy" comes to mind.
DO Use More Numbers
Quantify the impact you've had in any position. For example: increased sales 15 percent, or increased the brand's Twitter followers by 120 percent.
DON'T Use Vague Words or Phrases
Anything that doesn't deliver on what you've done, what you're best at, and why a company should hire you is superfluous. This list from YouTern is a good place to start.

Unhappy with a January decision by the Supreme Court of Virginia, four leaders of the House Courts of Justice Committee have set a clever trap for any judge wanting to keep his or her seat.
And they've hidden it in plain sight.
In Hernandez v. Commonwealth, the high court said judges have the authority to defer judgment in a criminal case and ultimately dismiss charges. This approach can be used by a judge, in his or her discretion, as an incentive to the defendant: You're guilty, but I'm not going to enter judgment. If you clean up your act and behave for a year, I'll dismiss the charge.
It's a useful tool that can be found in the Virginia Code – there are several deferred judgment statutes that let a judge give a first-time drug or alcohol offender a second chance.
It's important to note what did not happen in Hernandez. It was a case involving an assault on a police officer (a violent felony), and the circuit judge below did not defer judgment. But in the appeal, the high court made one of those line-in-the-sand rulings that courts sometimes make to preserve their authority.
The trouble is, felony assault on a cop is one of the crimes for which the General Assembly has established a mandatory minimum sentence. So there you have it, a tug of war between two branches of government: Legislators saying there are crimes for which a defendant must do time, and justices saying judges have the authority to hold back imposing those very sentences.
The four delegates – the Courts committee chair and chairs of three subcommittees – have figured out a way to make sure that the power given to judges in Hernandez is never used.
In late April, they sent a letter to every circuit and general district judge who will be up for re-election by the Assembly in 2012.
The Hernandez case is "of great interest" to them, the four said. If you seek re-election, you will be asked about the case. They gave this notice, they said, so "there will be no surprises, and to be fair to you, we wish to inform you now, so you will be able to come prepared."
If a judge has applied Hernandez, he or she has some homework to do. The delegates said they will ask a simple question:
"1. Identify each case in which deferred disposition was granted pursuant to the Hernandez decision."
For each instance, the judge must provide the original charges, the reason for applying Hernandez, the length of the deferral and the ultimate disposition of the case. A judge need not explain any decision made under the existing deferred judgment statutes.
That trap is so easy to see, even the least sophisticated judge in the commonwealth can't miss it. And the way to beat it is easy, too. If you don't ever apply Hernandez, you don't ever get caught.
One of the authors of the letter told our reporter that the delegates wanted to avoid another "Annunziata situation."
In 2002, then-Judge Rosemarie Annunziata of the Virginia Court of Appeals came to Richmond for her re-election interview, only to be blindsided by delegates demanding an explanation of an appeals court panel decision and two dissents she had authored. She had no warning.
But there is a big difference between Annunziata's case and this letter. There, a judge was required to explain something from the past, decisions that were already in the books. The Hernandez letter affects the future and applies to decisions the judge has not yet made.
"Judicial independence" is a hoary topic that always gets lip service at bar meetings. Bar leaders get up and say the proper things about the need for an impartial judiciary removed from politics. Those in attendance nod sagely.
Here, you have a band of four legislators, acting up front and providing plenty of notice, who are putting on an impossible squeeze: Should Virginia's judges be more concerned about their own careers and continued employment or about doing justice, if there are the appropriate circumstances in a case to defer judgment?
That's not fair and that's not right.
So where are Virginia's bar leaders on this Hernandez trap?
Who knows the proper things to say in the face of a targeted, back-door effort to nullify a Supreme Court decision?
Right now all we hear is the sound of crickets.
