Bob Barr, the former Libertarian presidential candidate and Georgia congressman, has an op-ed piece in today's New York Times:
There is no abuse of government power more egregious than executing an innocent man. But that is exactly what may happen if the United States Supreme Court fails to intervene on behalf of Troy Davis.
Mr. Davis is facing execution for the 1989 murder of an off-duty police officer in Savannah, Ga., even though seven of the nine witnesses have recanted their testimony against him. Many of these witnesses now say they were pressured into testifying falsely against him by police officers who were understandably eager to convict someone for killing a comrade. No court has ever heard the evidence of Mr. Davis's innocence.
After the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit barred Mr. Davis from raising his claims of innocence, his attorneys last month petitioned the Supreme Court for an original writ of habeas corpus. This would be an extraordinary procedure — provided for by the Constitution but granted only a handful of times since 1900. However, absent this, Mr. Davis faces an extraordinary and obviously final injustice.
This threat of injustice has come about because the lower courts have misread the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, a law I helped write when I was in Congress. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee in the 1990s, I wanted to stop the unfounded and abusive delays in capital cases that tend to undermine our criminal justice system….

[...] Galloway at the AJC's Political Insider points us to an op-ed about longtime death row inmate Troy Davis in today's New York Times by Bob [...]

Only thirteen unbiased people have seen all the evidence: the jury and the trial judge. All thirteen of them agreed that Davis shot a policeman to death while he lay defenseless on a parking lot.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but unless you saw all the evidence, your opinion on guilt or innocence does not count.

It would be difficult to find 12 unbiased jurors, one unbiased journalist, nine unbiased members of the SCOTUS. Assuming, arguendo, that 12 people and a judge could displace all possible bias and prejudice, would it be possible that they could come the wrong conclusion based on perjured evidence (in this case testimony)? How about the Duke lacrosse trial? What if that had gone to trial and the "unbiased" jurors had not been allowed to see the exculpatory evidence Nifong (the prosecutor) tried so hard to keep from the public and potential jurors? They wouldn't have seen "all the evidence." Never assume that juries always get it right (cf all the rape convictions that have been overturned via the "Innocence Project" and similar efforts), that eyewitnesses are infallible, and that our competitive, adversarial legal system works every time. Wouldn't it be better to spend some extra money to make sure an innocent person doesn't get all crispy?

I detest john lewis, but if 7 of 9 witnesses recanted their testimony, georgia, in good conscious cannot execute Troy Davis. Although, that has never stopped georgia or texas. I say he gets another trial.

Having served on a capital murder case, 20 years ago, I think I am able to offer a little insight that most have never experienced. Each jury member was truly independent of each other and formed their opinions without regard to pressures from the group. It is difficult to believe that the jury was biased in any manner.

No one of good conscience wants to exonerate the killer of a policeman or otherwise. The truth is that so many people have recanted their testimony and so much that has not been revealed that this man deserves a new trial. If he"s convicted after that so be it. He deserves an unbiased fair trial without a rush to justice.

Andy, glad to hear that you had jury experience. It's reassuring that people are willing to do their civic duty, both 20 years ago and today. The point earlier was that it is indeed difficult to strip humans of their passions, prejudices, predispositions, and biases. Rules that exclude evidence (for example hearsay rules, or a judge's determination that something is more prejudicial than probative) automatically prevent a jury from seeing "all the evidence," on the basis of one person's opinion, without knowledge of the jury. Perjured or incorrect evidence can easily yield the wrong result. Again, see vacated findings of guilt for what used to be a capital crime, rape. And, given that other posters have alluded to the movies, "Tom" Robinson was convicted despite the blatantly perjured testimony of Mayella Ewell, to cite a classic. The only thing worse than killing a police officer is having his death go to kill a potential innocent he was sworn to protect.

"In their eyes the more dead cops the better"
A dead cop is no more special than a dead citizen. Cops are NOT your friends, cops are not
special. They knew the turf when they took the 'oath'.

This trail is too flawed. The jurors made their decision is good conscience, but now the "witnesses" are recanting. There must be a new trial to try to get at the truth. Executing this man would be a terrible injustice with so many questions unanswered. I, too, served on a murder jury. It was a difficult and very stressful process. Juries do not take this kind of thing lightly. If I had served on this jury with so many questions coming out now, I would want the state to retry the man. If the next jury deems him guilty, then so be it.

Jon (left) jamming with The Mystic Cowboy
by craig eddy
I went to the La Honda flea market a year ago and met a seller that had a couple thousand music Cd's for sale. After drooling over his collection I found out he was a bass player. Now, I know most of the musicians in town so I was curious. Playing with anyone, I asked? Turns out Jon Wollf is one of those players that loves playing but never really hooked up with a band. Since then Jon has been coming by my studio and jamming with a bunch of us local players and we are very glad he has joined us.
Jon spent most his early childhood in Long Island and didn't start playing music until he was 14 or 15 years old. He jammed with friends for the fun of it and as he started college and work he put it down for a few years. He started up again in the 80's just for fun and made an attempt at a band based out of Palo Alto. They never did much playing out and he continued mostly attending jams. Jon plays the electric bass and mentions the likes of Jonas Hellborg and Ron Carter as the bassists that he admires most. He loves and plays most styles but when it comes to Jazz he claims to be a listener only. I know from jamming at my place he plays Reggae, Rock, Country, Zydeco, Blues and Bluegrass.
When Jon moved to La Honda he seemed to be happy just listening to the wealth of local talent. I asked him to name his favorite local bands. His response? Anything with Bundy in it. He raves about Cryin' Shame and Jack and The Hitchhikers too . But now Jon is a regular at the jams at my place and we are glad to have him join us in the few performances we do each year in La Honda. I'm sure Jon will become a fixture in the local scene here. It's a fact that there are many more bands than bass players in this area so if any bass players need a vacation from one of their many bands you might look up Jon.

The lush La Honda School garden
by craig eddy
Upon entering the La Honda School garden I saw a sudden brown streak racing from under the cucumbers and down one of the pathways. In hot pursuit was Scooter a Corgie with short little legs going faster than I would have thought possible. The cute little bunny was not in any danger but when it comes to vegetable gardens there are no 'cute' pests. It was a good laugh though.
It has been several years since I visited the school garden. I was blown away by the changes. When Principal Kristen Lindstrom applied for the job, one of her main goals was to revamp the garden and turn it into an outdoor classroom for both school kids and interested adults. Gardener Daniela Liniger is fairly new to the position but with grant money and volunteer help things have really taken shape. Daniela hopes that it becomes even more of a community project.
Each spring they are always looking for extra seedlings and gardening materials the community gardeners might have. I give them a lot of my extra starts as I always begin with more than I can use in case of gardening disasters. It's hard for them to start from seeds so consider donating starts in the spring as things get going.
A 2007 grant from Recycleworks in San Mateo helped with the expansion of the garden including a chicken coop and a critter proof fence surrounding the area. Whole Foods gave a grant to install a drip irrigation system which cuts down on the need to water as much. The kids love having class in the garden where they spend a little time learning about the process and then they put in some time working the garden. Strangely the strawberries seem to keep disappearing from their bed. Occasionally there are guest master gardeners that come in and give classes on composting, companion planting etc. Now and then when there is a surplus of produce they will have a small farmer's market at the school to help raise money. If you see a sign on Highway 84 saying Farmers Market, head on up to the school and see what they have! The next project on the list is a shade structure for the seating area where classes are held.
To see the garden and share in the bounty, the school is putting on its annual Harvest Dinner on September 13th in the La Honda Gardens. It is a high end affair with live music, raffles, and a silent auction. There is a garden tour included at 3:30. Much of the veggies at the dinner will be from the garden. The band Zanzibar will be performing their Latin dance music and if you saw them at the La Honda Fair you'll know to wear something danceable. Info on tickets at Lahondaschools.org or call 650 879-2152. Proceeds from the Harvest dinner go to funding the garden program. If you would like to tour the garden and meet with Daniela with offers of help or donations please go through the school office at 747-0051 and ask for Angie.
When asked what does your garden need most, the list included money, volunteers, seedlings, and manure. Come on… how often do people beg you to give them s..t?

SC4 Amateur Radio Club welcomes all to Field Day
This June, La Honda's fearless ham radio operators once again pulled an all-nighter in the name of emergency communications. You may have noticed the gigantic antenna in the field next to the firehouse, or bleary-eyed operators stumbling into the Market for coffee Sunday morning, but this dedicated group worked all weekend to prove that La Honda is not as isolated as it seems when it comes to emergency communications.
Mobile 40' Crank-up Tower with antennas
Field Day (seems like Daze) is an annual event, and La Honda's Amateur Radio Club proved once again that we have some of the most innovative and accomplished individuals around. Some achievements this year include:
- Rigging a 40 foot mobile tower with four very different antennas, controlled with remote switch by radio operators to enable contact with other stations across the United States.
- Using a homemade pneumatic tennis ball launcher to raise other antennas high in the trees.
- Constructing an antenna made from a tape measure and PVC pipe, and using it to contact the International Space Station as it passed overhead.
- Using computers and software connected to the radios to make contacts using digital modes such as RTTY, PSK-31 and CW (Morse code).
- Operating entirely off the grid using generators and solar power.
Tape Measure Antenna built by Jennie KK6DNX at Field Day
An entire village was set up in one day at La Honda Gardens (thank you Charlie C.!!!) that included a radio tent, eight antennas, a food tent, overnight accommodations, a public information booth, and a radio station allowing visitors to "get on the air" and try out ham radio. Then, radio operators worked 24 straight hours making contacts with as many other stations as possible. This is a radio contest, so logging contacts and keeping score is part of the fun. Equally important is to share information with the community about emergency preparedness and communication, and to encourage new hams. It also keeps La Honda's club in practice for setting up communications quickly in case of an emergency.
Pneumatic Antenna Launcher built by Mike, KJ6VCP
Getting an amateur license is easy, and the cost of your first radio can be quite low. Hand held radios starting as low as $50 allow you to communicate from La Honda to Skyline to Pescadero and even Half Moon Bay and Pacifica from some locations! That can come in handy on the trail or in areas where cell phones don't reach. La Honda's radio club offers classes each year to help prepare for the license exam (35 multiple choice questions, 26 answered correctly) and provides training and resources to help you become an effective part of the area's communications network.
Keep your eyes open for upcoming ham radio events, and get involved! You can also visit the website http://www.sc4arc.org for more information.

Tally Deushane, a 20-year-old student from Agnes Scott College, might have a ukelele-backed tune she sang on YouTube land in the upcoming "How I Met Your Mother" DVD package.
She sings from the perspective of the tired daughter who has been listening to her dad drone on and on about his life before he met her mom. The show has yet to reveal who that mom is after five seasons.
My colleague Bo Emerson wrote about her in Saturday's print paper. Here's the video (with 13,000-plus views), which is most amusing only for die-hard fans of the show and probably befuddling for folks who don't watch it:
She has fairly eclectic taste in TV, having done songs about "Dexter," "The Office," "Ace of Cakes," "Castle," "The Simpsons," "Buffy" and "Glee." One of her most popular ones (27,000-plus views) is this one based on "The Big Bang Theory."

Tamils have a difficult time in Sri Lanka.
Results from last weekend's referendum by Australia's Sri Lankan Tamil population have given almost unanimous support for the proposal for an independent Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka. The vote by Australian Sri Lankan Tamils follows those in seven other countries, including Canada and Britain, each of which have produced a 99 per cent vote in favour of Tamil independence.
The vote might seem redundant, following the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in a bloody, dirty war in Sri Lanka that ended in May 2009. However, Sri Lanka's large Tamil diaspora have long played a critical role in the lives of Sri Lankan Tamils, not least in actively supporting the more than three decade long struggle for independence.
Many people in the Tamil diaspora fled Sri Lanka after the violent anti-Tamil riots that erupted in Colombo in July 1983, and spread to other parts of the island. In those riots Tamils were systematically targeted, and their homes and businesses destroyed. An estimated 3000 people were killed, and thousands more fled to safety in other countries.
Sri Lankan Tamils had already started to leave the country before the 1983 anti-Tamil riots, seeking better lives elsewhere because they could see that opportunities in Sri Lanka were restricted for Tamils. However, after the 1983 riots, Tamils in Sri Lanka felt they could never live safely there; violent unpredictable mobs might again turn against them. So they left in increasing numbers, and continue to leave today because of discrimination and persecution.
These people – the Tamil diaspora – moved to India, Australia, Europe, Canada, the US and other countries, wherever they were accepted and could live safely. They established new lives, but still kept contact with relatives and friends in Sri Lanka, and continued involvement with Sri Lanka in many ways. Many still feel a strong emotional attachment to their homeland.
The view of the Tamil diaspora is that they need to press for and represent Tamil claims, because Tamils in Sri Lanka have lost their voice, and have no representation following the defeat of the LTTE at the hands of the Sri Lankan army in May last year. The very low voter turnout rate in Tamil areas in the recent elections in Sri Lanka confirms the view that Tamils in Sri Lanka have no faith in the political processes there.
The vote taken in Australia, and elsewhere, was to reaffirm the 1976 Vaddukoddai Resolution (VKR) in which Tamil political leaders were given a unanimous mandate to call for the "restoration and reconstitution of the free state of Tamil Eelam based on the right to self-determination".
The passing of the Vaddukoddai Resolution in 1976 marked a turning point in the Sri Lankan Tamils' struggle to have their grievances addressed. It gave a mandate for Tamil groups to push for a separate Tamil state, Eelam. In the 1977 elections the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) ran on this platform of a separate Tamil state, and won the elections in 18 out of 22 Tamil majority electorates.
The military struggle by the LTTE for a separate Tamil state was based on this mandate. The Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora now seek the involvement of the international community in finding a political settlement to the continuing problems of ethnic marginalisation and persecution that led to the war. Though the war has ended and the LTTE defeated, the Tamil grievances that led to the war have still not been addressed.
The Sri Lankan government, under recently re-elected President Mahinda Rajapaksa, has said it will not countenance a separate state or even a federalist model by way of allowing some degree of Tamil autonomy in Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka is coming under increasing pressure to find a durable political solution to Tamil claims, following decades in which Tamils have been legally constituted as Sri Lanka's second class citizens.
The Sri Lankan government is also under pressure as the United Nations begins an inquiry into how the Sri Lankan military conducted the final campaign of the war, amid widespread claims of war crimes and other mass human rights abuses. Many in the Tamil diaspora believe that until the Tamils in Sri Lanka can openly express their own political views without fear of persecution, it is up to the Tamil Diaspora internationally to represent them.
Professor Damien Kingsbury holds a Personal Chair in the School of International and Political Studies, Deakin University, Melbourne.
David Feith is the author of Tamil nationalism in Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka: 60 years of 'Independence' and beyond.

My hubby and I love this recipe! I substituted honey for the corn syrup and served with brown rice and broccoli. It was a major hit and is going into the regular rotation!
Lacquered Five-Spice Pork
Iain Bagwell
This recipe is an adaptation of one in Florence Lin's Chinese Regional Cookbook (Hawthorn Books, 1975). We like to serve the pork with white rice or with a bowl of soba noodles sprinkled with black sesame seeds. Leftover pork can be diced and added to a stir-fry or fried rice. Prep and Cook Time: about 1 hour, plus 2 hours marinating time. Notes: Though suspending meat over simmering water seems unusual, it has its roots in the delicious crispy-duck technique used in many Chinatown shops. You'll need a 12-in. metal skewer to make this recipe.

- 2. Preheat oven to 325°. Fill a roasting pan with enough water to come 1 in. up sides and put on bottom rack of oven. Insert a 12-in. metal skewer through all 4 chops, about 1/2 in. from edge. Space chops about 1 in. apart on skewer. Pull out top rack of oven halfway, making sure rack is still supported and level, and very carefully lower the skewer crosswise onto rack so meat goes between the bars and skewer rests on rack. Slowly push rack back into oven, then move pan of water directly beneath hanging meat.
- 3. Bake chops 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 425° and cook 10 minutes more. Pour corn syrup and remaining 1 tbsp. soy sauce into a shallow dish and mix to combine. Transfer pork chops from skewer into corn syrup mixture, rolling to coat, then thinly slice each chop. Serve with hot rice or soba noodles if you like.

A study of more than 400 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has found a link between the children's routine play settings and the severity of their symptoms, researchers report. Those who regularly play in outdoor settings with lots of green (grass and trees, for example) have milder ADHD symptoms than those who play indoors or in built outdoor environments, the researchers found. The association holds even when the researchers controlled for income and other variables. Included in this report is a link to download a free copy of the full text, original study.

Quitting Smoking Enhances Positive Personality Changes
University of Missouri researchers have found evidence that shows those who quit smoking show improvements in their overall personality. "The data indicate that for some young adults smoking is impulsive," said Andrew Littlefield, a doctoral student in the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Science. "That means that 18-year-olds are acting without a lot of forethought and favor immediate rewards over long term negative consequences. They might say, 'I know smoking is bad for me, but I'm going to do it anyway.'
Disinhibited Brains And Behavior May Be Related To Lower GABA In The Pre-Frontal Cortex
Impulsive individuals tend to display aggressive behavior and have challenges ranging from drug and alcohol abuse, to problem gambling and difficult relationships. They are less able to adapt to different social situations. Impulsivity is also a common feature of psychiatric disorders. New research in Biological Psychiatry shows that people may react this way, in part, because they have lower levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter, in a specific part of their brain involved in regulating self-control.
ADHD May Be Caused By A Glitch In The Internal Timing Of The Brain
Susan, even at age 33, cannot sit still. She never could. Pegged by her teachers as the resident "problem child," she spent most of her afternoons in detention for disrupting class and forgetting her homework assignments. As an adult, she still struggles to meet her work deadlines, and she has to fight the insatiable urge to dart out of meetings.
New Scientific Insights Into Impulse Control Forces Major Modifications In Existing Cognitive Model
How the brain controls impulsive behavior may be significantly different than psychologists have thought for the last 40 years. That is the unexpected conclusion of a study by an international team of neuroscientists published in the Aug. 31 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.
Impulsive Alcoholics Are Likely To Die Sooner
Alcohol and impulsivity are a dangerous mix: People with current drinking problems and poor impulse control are more likely to die in the next 15 years, a new study suggests. However, they could get by with a little help from their friends: The study also found that a strong social support network buffers the toxic effects of impulsivity.
Personality Plays Important Role In Maintenance Of Body Weight Over Time
People with personality traits of high neuroticism and low conscientiousness are likely to go through cycles of gaining and losing weight throughout their lives, according to an examination of 50 years of data in a study published by the American Psychological Association. The publisher made the original study available for free for an undetermined length of time; check the end of this report for a download link.
Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Helps To Curb Impulsivity
Inhibitory control can be boosted with a mild form of brain stimulation, according to a study published in the June 2011 issue of Neuroimage, Elsevier's Journal of Brain Function. The study's findings indicate that non-invasive intervention can greatly improve patients' inhibitory control. Conducted by a research team led by Dr. Chi-Hung Juan of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, National Central University in Taiwan, the research was sponsored by the National Science Council in Taiwan, the UK Medical Research Council, the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award, and a Fulbright Award.

Trista's Baby Turns 1! Momlogic is There!
Four ballots, three months, two locations and one party planner later, Max's birthday party has finally come! The Candyland theme came to life as the Sutters and their guests enjoyed the festivities. See the fabulous photos!
Momlogic and entertainment and style guru, Jennifer Sbranti of HostessWithTheMostess.com helped bring Trista's vision and momlogic voters' choices to life during the "First Son of Reality TV's" first birthday party. Take a look at Trista and Ryan's son Max's celebration!
Click for more photos from the Bachelorette baby's bash!
|After Trista chose the Candyland theme, momlogic users chose the rest. This candy tree invitation designed by Sbranti was chosen by 86% of momlogic readers to alert guests of the event.
The party favors were custom designed by EM Tanner Designs, and were made up of personalized t-shirts, lunch boxes and plates with a lollipop design that 56% of momlogic readers voted for.
|With 45% of the vote, the winning menu was sliders with snow cone French fries, which was provided by chef David Sanchez of The Lake House.
|The main attraction--besides the birthday boy himself--was the candy buffet that was made up of 200 pounds of candy provided by Sweet Factory. Trista loved how it turned out, but joked that the other parents may be mad at her for having it.
The cupcake design that 48% of momlogic readers voted for was lollipops--and Mountain Flour Bakery made Max a cake to match. He had a boo boo on his face because, as Trista said, "Boys will be boys." But that didn't stop him from digging in.
Because of the threat of rain, the party was moved inside, but luckily, we moved into a firehouse--so the Sutters felt right at home. Ryan is a firefighter in Vail, Colorado. Trista has her own diaper bag line. You can check them out at www.TristaBaby.com.

Hostess with the Mostess, Inc.
I love this theme! And HWTM did such an amazing job bringing it to life:) Love, love, love the candy buffet!!!
What an amazing idea for a theme! I wish I could hire Hostess with the Mostess for my son's next birthday!!! It certainly looked like a child's dream come true for a birthday!
Ooh la la what a fabulous, fun-filled party! Very creative and nicely carried out!
What a great theme! The candy buffet was outstanding! Great work Hostess with the Mostess!
WOW! This Candyland theme party is a dreamland come to life. HWTM incorporated so many amazing details! Absolutely Love it!
I cannot imagine getting sponsors for a one year olds birthday and overwhelming them to that degree. Turning one is not something I would go crazy with, they are still so little.
I love Trista and Ryan! They're so cute. And Max is adorable! I can't believe Hostess with the Mostess! She's outdone herself. This party is fantastic!! Wish I was there.
Goodness I can't stand trista. What next - we all get a chance to vote on what college and car the kid gets and the winner along with momlogic can pay for it. Why does trista always have that annoying look like the most hilarious thing in the world just happened, it makes her look so odd like she needs to be medicated.
I love these guys! What a life that baby is leading! I just saw that they are christening a Princess boat for their fifth anniversary - they're everywhere!
Good for them, enjoy every minute. Trista & Ryan know how fortunate and blessed they are. I think they are very appreciative of what has come their way.
Oh, and Ryan is super HOT
"Anonymous at 12:20pm" You're so negative. Maybe you're the one who needs to be medicated. Your negativity just looks like jealousy.
it does seem to be a bit much for a one year olds birthday…but to each there own!!
It's sickens me to see that these people cannot just dig into their own tight wade pockets and throw a party for their kid, it's not like they are broke. PLease!! Trista and Ryan just stop whoring yourselves out for free crap it's annoying. Mom Logic should of instead thrown a "free" party for a needy kid, foster kid, single parent family, or even a random blue collar fam. and it would of made me want to use their products that they are trying to advertise. This is just so stupid!
i loved the theme and all the party doings except one thing the glass jars or were they acriyl because a small child could of easily grab one and you no what happens with glass
um…try again - 4:59. I would never in a million years want to be that broad. She talks like a 2 year old and if you notice the only thing ryan ever said was bye. she is controlling and thinks everyone should worship her and pay for her parties. I would take my man any day over that guy, my man has a spine and can speak for himself. He is not whipped and spineless. If you are trying to say in your own way, (which really was repeating what i said and turning it around - not very creative) that you are the one that's jealous - go seek help and leave the rest of us alone.
trista is not a good mother. we see that huge bruise on the kid's face..nice. trista did all those trashy pics too for nudy magazines. why do you guys give other "celebrities" endless grief over taking sleezy pics but think trista is so great. where is the logic there?
everybody in the video was like…"what is so funny?"..she is always laughing hysterically at what? it got to the point where people were just laughing at her. I can't imagine having to deal with that constantly and every day.

Nike Air Max 90 iD – Cracked Leather (Hufquake) Options
October 30th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
'Hufquake', or 'Craked Leather' as Nike officially named it, has popped up on several other sneakers since word spread about the release of an updated verson of the shoe that made it popular. Since Huf's Nike Air Max 90 Current Huarache was revealed, we've seen an Air Flight Concord and the Mighty Crown Dynasty High prominently featuring cracked leather. Those Concords frankly already looked a little like someone designed them on Nike iD, so we're excited to see the desert floor-like pattern popping up there for Air Max 90s. Head on over to the Nike iD website and design your own pair today.

Most taxpayer-supported agencies in Southern Nevada have had to reduce their workforce due to the financial strains of the last recession, but none have been hit harder than North Las Vegas.
The city, which has faced a budget crisis, had 2,887 full- and part-time employees who were paid in 2009 but only 1,951 in 2012, a 32.4 percent reduction. Among those workers who were paid at least $20,000, the numbers fell 30.7 percent from 1,923 in 2009 to 1,332 last year.
A closer look at the shrinking workforce shows that the pain has been spread throughout City Hall, resulting in far fewer police and corrections officers, firefighters, building inspectors, park maintenance workers and street sweepers. Court clerk II employees kept their jobs but all of the lower-paid court clerk I positions were eliminated.
All other Southern Nevada agencies, with one exception, also had fewer employees making at least $20,000 in 2012 than in 2009. The lone exception was the Regional Transportation Commission, which had eight more employees making at least that amount in 2012 than three years earlier.
But of the nine agencies that furnished complete employment data for 2009 through 2012, six reported having more total employees in 2012 than three years earlier. That means some of these agencies have relied more heavily on part-time or lower-paid workers to help maintain services.
An example is Clark County, which paid 13,365 individuals in 2012, 15.6 percent more than the 11,566 who were cut checks in 2009. The county had 2,792 employees without a job classification who made less than $20,000 each last year, compared to only 738 in 2009.
The county in 2012 also had 288 more program assistants and 195 more office assistants than in 2009 who were paid less than $20,000.
But the number of county employees paid at least $20,000 dropped 8.8 percent from 7,634 in 2009 to 6,962 last year.

Media Release
Australian Government Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Senator the Hon. Ian Campbell
15 December 2004
The Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Senator Ian Campbell, today announced the Western Precinct of the former ADI site, St Mary's, in Sydney will not be given an emergency listing to the National Heritage List.
An application to emergency list the area under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) was received earlier this month. The application was based on the possible impact of urban development on the area's heritage values and the proposed transfer of kangaroos from the eastern end of the site.
"The nomination has had considerable public support, which I recognise," Senator Campbell said. "However the nomination depended on the remnant Cumberland Plain Woodlands in the Western Precinct of the site meeting the threshold of containing outstanding heritage value for the nation.
"Emergency applications to the National Heritage List are assessed against two requirements - that the nominated area contains national heritage values and that these values are under threat.
"The assessment of the nomination was conducted by the Department of the Environment and Heritage. It involved consultation with key stakeholders, including the owners, the Department of Finance and Administration and the New South Wales State Government.
"I have accepted the conclusion presented to me that the values of the nominated site fell below the high threshold required for National Heritage Listing, as clearing and the introduction of exotic species have severely affected the area. An assessment of this area was conducted between 1996 and 1999 for the Australian Government's Register of the National Estate, and this also found the site lacked heritage values.
"Large remnant areas of Cumberland Plain Woodlands are located within the Western Sydney Shale Woodlands at St Mary's and also at the East Orchard Hills area, both of which are outside of the area nominated for emergency listing. These areas are already recognised for their heritage value through their inclusion on the Register of the National Estate and play an important role in the local community."
The National Heritage List is Australia's premier heritage list and came into effect under changes to the EPBC Act on 1 January 2004. More than 60 nominations have been received for the List, including Fremantle Prison in Western Australia, the Sydney Opera House and Port Arthur in Tasmania.
Further information on the National Heritage List can be found at www.deh.gov.au/heritage/national.

Through the "The Perfect Turnover" movie premiere, sponsorships, individual ticket sales and matching funds over $200,000 has been raised to develop an interventional cardiology program at El Paso Children's Hospital.
Dennece Knight, Executive Director of University Medical Center Foundation said "Besides raising over $200,000 to help establish pediatric cardiology at El Paso Children's Hospital, the Perfect Turnover told the story of a community, of a family, and of a considerate young man who changed lives with the selfless pass of a basketball. Even more we were given a bird's eye view into the Marcus family who took a special needs child and cultivated a "special" young man with unique needs through their acceptance and loving spirit."
The Perfect Turnover is a documentary based on the sportsmanship moment during a Coronado/Franklin basketball game last February when Franklin High School's Jonathon Montanez gave the ball on purpose to Mitchell Marcus from Coronado High School with 10 seconds left in the final game of the season for both teams.
Donors can still support the much needed interventional pediatric cardiology program at El Paso Children's Hospital by visiting www.umcfoundationelpaso.org/theperfectturnover.

An international team of scientists has developed a process that allows them to pinpoint a person's geographical origin going back 1,000 years. Known as the Geographic Population Structure (GPS) tool, the method is accurate enough to locate the village from which the subject's ancestors came, and has significant implications for personalized medical treatment.

It is one atom thick and touted to be stronger than steel. Graphene has captured the scientific and public imagination as the wonder material of the 21st century.

Praying mantises outfitted with tiny 3D glasses
Although us humans take 3D vision for granted, it's not a standard feature throughout the animal kingdom. In fact, praying mantises are the only invertebrates known to possess it – a fact which makes them excellent hunters. Scientists at Britain's Newcastle University are now studying the insects' ability to see in 3D, to determine if it could be copied in human technologies such as robot vision systems. As part of that study, they're equipping mantises with the smallest pairs of 3D glasses ever made. Read More
Cloaked DNA devices evade the body's immune system
Researchers from Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have developed a cloaked DNA nanodevice capable of evading the body's immune defenses. The design was inspired by real world viruses and could be used to diagnose cancer and better target treatments to specific areas of tissue. Read More
A couple of years ago, we first heard about a gecko-inspired reusable adhesive known as Geckskin. According to its creators at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, it could be used to hang objects weighing up to 700 pounds (318 kg) on smooth surfaces such as glass. Now, however, they've announced a new version that also works on rough surfaces, like drywall and wood. Read More
Added DNA could be used to authenticate premium olive oil
When most people think of counterfeit goods, they probably picture things like handbags or watches. In fact, there's also a huge market for knock-off high-end food products, such as extra-virgin olive oil. Scientists from Switzerland's ETH Zurich research group, however, have come up with a possible method of thwarting the makers of that bogus oil – just add synthetic DNA particles to the real thing. And yes, consumers would proceed to swallow those particles. Read More
Microscope lenses are typically made either by grinding and polishing glass discs, or pouring polymers into molds – both techniques can be quite involved, which is reflected in the price of the finished product. Now, however, a scientist from Australian National University has devised a new lens-making process, in which drops of silicone are simply baked in an oven. The resulting lenses can be used for a variety of applications, yet are worth less than one cent each. Read More
A new lightweight, super strong material has been discovered thanks to one of nature's most violent sociopaths. The peacock mantis shrimp may look like a colorful, reasonably mild-mannered aquarium dweller, but its claws have the punch of a .22 bullet. A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside, has developed a carbon composite that imitates the claw's structure. The result is a promising new material that may one day be used to build cars and airplanes. Read More
Military vehicles that change color to be dark at night, and camo-green in the daylight ... could such a thing be possible? Well, it's certainly closer to reality, thanks to research being conducted at the University of Michigan. Scientists there have created a solution that changes color when exposed to light, then changes back when the light is removed. If incorporated into a thin film coating, the result could be chameleon-like surfaces. Read More
Will superhuman powers give us superhuman problems?
Any mention of cyborgs or superpowers evokes fantastical images from the realms of science fiction and comic books. Our visions of humans with enhanced capabilities are borne of our imaginations and the stories we tell. In reality, though, enhanced humans already exist ... and they don't look like Marvel characters. As different human enhancement technologies advance at different rates, they bleed into society gradually and without fanfare. What's more, they will increasingly necessitate discussion about areas that are often overlooked – what are the logistics and ethics of being superhuman? Gizmag spoke to a number of experts to find out. Read More

After years in the shadows as a reluctant heir-apparent, Rahul Gandhi is set for his own tryst with destiny, to lead the ruling Congress party in elections due by May that it has only a slim chance of winning.
Reuters spoke to Sachin Pilot, the country's corporate affairs minister, on the Congress party's strategy for the 2014 election, Rahul Gandhi's style of working and the rise of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Responses have been lightly edited for clarity.
What is the Congress party doing wrong?
We have within ourselves perhaps far superior elements to take on conventional challenges today. But what we are not doing tremendously well is in the perception battle. Somehow, we have not been able to position ourselves as an alternative to most political forces operating today. What the Congress party needs to do now, I think what Rahul Gandhi wants to do, is to create an institutionalized mechanism for the party because this ad-hocism is not bearing fruit.
What does this institutionalized mechanism mean?
The idea is to empower the workers of the Congress party in ways that it doesn't depend on individual dispensation. It becomes a structure, you are getting fresh ideas, fresh people and they are lured in not because of patronage from individuals but because the party offers that.
How would you be involved?
Every seat is different, every constituency is different. So yes, there will be some campaigning. Mr Modi feels that he can swing the eight states where the BJP has presence but don't forget there are 14 states where BJP has no presence. So how many seats in parliament Mr Modi can get in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland Mizoram, Kashmir, I don't know. The strike rate has to be 90 percent where they have presence.

My life tonight.
First I drop my favorite mug and it shattered to pieces.
Then we find out that you shouldn't put anything made by IKEA in the dish washer. Especially if it's a $12 glass French press.
On the up side my roommate and I discovered the miracle that is baking soda. When we first moved in we found what appeared to be grease all over one of the metal catchers under the stove top hot plate. After removing it to clean we found a pool (seriously, you could swim in it) of grease.
Tonight we covered all of it in a valid soda paste. After multiple applications and a lot of elbow grease, we could now use that stove as a mirror. Of course it took almost a whole container of baking soda, guess I'll have to wait another night to make some lavender walnut scones.

Curt Mega, Dominic Barnes, and Kimberly Whalen sing a medley of "Say Something," "Unconditionally," and "Wake Me Up." Arrangement by Telly Leung.
The story of Nick and Trent
Title: The Osculation Experimentation
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Amy/Sheldon, Penny
Word Count: 2,260
Summary: Amy takes care of a drunken Sheldon.
Author's Note: I wanted to write something that would explore Sheldon's reactions to the Valentine's kiss. I wanted to know how he felt, how he struggled with it, how he dealt with it, and what Amy's impressions of the consequences might be. This takes place just a few weeks after Valentine's Day, obviously a bit farther back than the canon of the show at current. First shot at Shamy fic, hope you like it!

This was better the 2nd day. The first day the garlic overwhelmed the dish. After a day it had mellowed and was yummy.
Orecchiette with Peas, Shrimp, and Buttermilk-Herb Dressing
speechick2 Posted: 06/14/11
TylersMom Posted: 05/16/11
This salad was amazing. I subbed snow peas for the peas out of preference and Dreamfields pasta for the regular pasta for dietary reasons. I tripled the recipe so we'd be able to eat it throughout the week.
One2cook Posted: 05/18/11
This is a wonderful summer salad! Next time, I will use 3/4 cup of shrimp instead of 1/2 cup, so the salad is not so overwhelmed with noodles. Also, it is best eaten within two days or it begins losing its delicious flavor. Serve with yellow squash, an herb bread with a hint of dill, and Cooking Light's Lemon Cream Pie. Yum!
Krisis86 Posted: 06/01/11
I gave this one a shot out of pure curiosity. I haven't eaten radishes in many dishes, and overpowering lemon-y flavor makes me cry. But this? This was delicious. The lemon-y goodness was just right. The radishes were decent. The only thing I didn't like is the name - how the heck do you say "orecchiette"? Yeah, I used small shell pasta. I also thought it could have used a little more salt, and a little more color/more veggies. But just as it is is delicious. This is great for an easy, light summer dinner or perfect as a pasta salad for a party. Yum!
brncgirl Posted: 06/05/11
A great summer Sunday supper. I couldn't find orecchiette, but did find campanelle which looks like a little trumpet flower and was the right size. I doubled the shrimp. Next time I may halve the dill; it was a little too much, but I had just picked it from the garden, so maybe it was just powerful on its own! Thumbs up from my husband, too!
SharonAnn Posted: 05/31/11
I hate when people review a recipe and COMPLETLY change it......but here goes, I did exactly that. My family hates peas so I subbed edamame, greek yogurt for the buttermilk (didn't have any) and blanched broccoli for the radishes (ditto), whole wheat penne (obvioulsy wanted to try this recipe, but didn't want to go grocery shopping)...then doubled the shrimp (that, I had).....all in all........very tastey salad. It's not too heavy with the cream dressing.........especially for a summer dish.
Puyiii Posted: 06/23/11
This is a great pasta salad that tastes even better the next day! I have to admit I switched a few things to use items I had at home, so I changed the shrimp for chicken and the peas for lima beans... other than that everything else was left intact. The result was excellent. This is a new favorite in our house! Enjoy!
sarashea Posted: 07/06/11
I just made this pasta salad and I loved it! Although it has a creamy dressing it doesn't overpower at all. I loved the mix of the light lemony taste with the dill. I accidently doubled the recipe; I didn't pay attention when I poured the pasta in the water. But I am glad I did, I can't wait to eat it for lunch and dinner for the rest of the week. I will be making this again for sure!
Tonibalonie Posted: 07/19/11
Was very good!! A real crowd pleaser. For some of those who made so many changes to the recipe, how can you rate it when it isn't the same recipe anymore? Hmmmm, I don't think that's a fair for those who want to know how it tastes as the recipe is. Big dummies!!!
demopo Posted: 07/27/11
This recipe had no taste...with a touch of lemon. I followed the recipe exactly, except for using whole-wheat pasta. I was so disappointed!
fallingsnow Posted: 08/03/11
One of the most disappointing CL recipes I've tried in many years. I thought the combined flavors of the buttermilk, lemon, radish and peas were just awful together. I had a few bites and left the rest for my husband, who at least thought it was edible. I definitely would NOT make this again.
Colpatmick Posted: 07/23/11
This has been my go to weekend dinner all summer. Not a fan of dill, so we leave it out. Fresh English peas are very tasty in this dish.
sharon1964 Posted: 07/19/11
This is a good recipe, but don't skip the 20-minute waiting period; so tasty when all the flavors blend.
Katiewasnthere Posted: 07/15/11
It was alright.. the dressing just tasted like buttermilk, the herb flavor didn't really come through. Wasn't a fan for some reason.
lindyblue Posted: 07/21/11
Loved this dish. It was so easy to put together, and it was packed with flavor. I did used salad shrimp instead of the medium and added a little more than was called for, but I think the recipe would be great using shrimp exactly as called for. By the time the water was boiling and the pasta was done cooking, I was able to have the dressing ready to go on the salad. I'm looking forward to adding this to my lunch rotation.
jmeleeS Posted: 07/29/11
I made this for a weeknight dish - we were really happy with the results. A couple of hints / changes: Add extra fresh herbs (I used whatever I had available in my garden; all italian type herbs), add additional minced garlic, use 1/4 teaspoon (or more) of red pepper, serve warm / room temperature (when it's cold, the dressing does not have enough pizzazz / flavor), and finally don't skimp on the lemon juice / rind. We used penne since that's what we had in the pantry, and jicama instead of radish as I had it in the fridge from another recipe. Would likely omit the radish / jicama and place celery in the dish next time instead as the root veggie was chalky in the dish a bit. Finally, I added the frozen peas 30 seconds from draining the water to keep them crisp. This is a good solid recipe and I will definitely be making again; Enjoy!
ccgirl364 Posted: 11/13/11
Melissy Posted: 01/12/12
The flavor combination of fresh dill (which I really love), garlic, lemon and peppers went well with the other ingredients in this salad. It wasn't, for me, a knock your socks off I'm making this at least once a week but I will make it again. Had I replaced the shrimp with perhaps roasted chicken or omitted the seafood completely I'd have liked it more as I find seafood less palatable than most of the population!
jlmae3 Posted: 06/04/12
We thought this was delicious! Timesaver: I had the fishmonger steam the shrimp. That way, could peel it while the pasta cooked, and it had a little more flavor. I also added some old bay seasoning because I am from Louisiana, and we love our seasoning!
MrsCabana Posted: 09/18/12
I forced myself to make this late in the evening even though I was tired and I'm so glad I did. I thought this a wonderful summer dish... not too heavy and not too light. The ground red pepper gave it a nice kick (which I love); I didn't find the herbs to be overpowering so I would change those a bit. The *only* thing I would warn about is the garlic. I used 2 large cloves and I thought that was a bit much so if you have large cloves are garlic, cut back to 1 clove. I will definitely be making this again.
Dorseyl Posted: 03/31/13
This is one of my favorite CL recipes and I await spring ever year so I can bust it out. It tastes incredibly decadent without being too heavy and the flavors are bright and delicious.
stormydogblue Posted: 07/03/12
Fantastic summer flavors of lemon and dill, very bright and refreshing. I added more shrimp and left out the radish.
KathrynNC Posted: 06/04/13
Great recipe! Like many other reviewers we added more shrimp to make the recipe stretch a bit. Found the orecchiette without a problem in the international aisle past the typical pastas. Add some old bay as another reviewer suggested (a sprinkle in the mayo mixture and some on the table for those who wanted more). My husband and I were VERY skeptical about the radishes but LOVED this meal! I was able to slice the radishes using my mandolin with the guard. We will definitely make this again as a meal and as a side dish to bring to picnics.
ptdaniel Posted: 08/16/14
This is an outstanding pasta salad. We've made it twice: the first time as written, and the second substituting salmon for the shrimp because of an allergy in one of our guests. The shrimp version was better, but both were great. The second time we also used half celery and half radishes (instead of all radishes).
elenajay Posted: 07/20/13
I made this without the pepper and with Greek Yogurt instead of buttermilk. It was sooo yummy. The recipe is here: http://simplequickrecipes.wordpress.com/2013/07/12/about-to-make-these-yummm/

The Tree of Life Reviews
We Got This Covered
The lack of story or purpose is annoying and at times, the film is too experimental. Topping things off is an abrupt and unsatisfying ending which doesn't leave us with good feelings towards the film.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/10
Dial M For Movies
Malik's vision and deeply powerful imagery outlives its welcome after 20 minutes, leaving a film that meanders along trying to impress with concepts and ideas.

ABC Radio (Australia)
It feels like Malick made the film for himself, rather than for an audience.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5
ABC Radio Brisbane
There are some touching scenes between father and son but the rest of the film felt too heavy-handed.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
The final product feels less like the grand-scale epic that Malick intended, and more like a college thesis paper on spirituality that's missing a few pages.

Like watching your whole life crawl towards you on its hands and knees.
A young couple raises three boys in the 1950s. Both Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain as the couple function from textbook gender roles, like Father Knows Best with an axe to grind.
Full Review | Original Score: Overripe
For me, this is a pretty crushing disappointment, something that's hard to admit and even harder to write.
While I was writing this I learned that "The Tree of Life" had won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival...I can only assume that the judges were all cinematographers awarding a film consisting of Kodak moments.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Possibly it reinforces our awareness that finding any sort of path through life is a pretty overwhelming business, but this is not a terribly radical conclusion.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
The Tree of Life is a fractured film, so they needed five different editors to put it back together. I heard the original title was going to be The Humpty Dumpty of Life.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5
St. Paul Pioneer Press

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
FILMINK (Australia)
Malick resides largely in his own vivid imagination and overly active subconscious, where it's just too easy for everybody else to get resolutely and inescapably lost.
Urban Cinefile
The title suggests a grand vision about humanity, but this is at best garbled and perfunctory
Empire Magazine Australasia
Apart from a middle section which reveals moments of clarity and actual emotion, this is a bloated, self-indulgent bore of fine imagery.
Full Review | Original Score: 2
Washington City Paper
With its parallel depictions of the birth of the universe and a family in 1950s Texas, it must be plumbing deep meanings, right? Eh.
Spectrum (St. George, Utah)
Impressionistic may be a nice way to describe this often baffling mix of stunning cosmic imagery mixed with random snapshots of familial struggle...very, very different..
Full Review | Original Score: B-
I admire The Tree of Life - in the same way I admire the white-haired lady in the Guinness Book of World Records with 28-foot fingernails. By the way, after "The Tree of Life," you'll probably have to cut your nails, just saying.

Pipeline Integrity Management Systems (PIMS)
Related virtual library items - Related experience
Pipeline Integrity Management System is the collection of arrangements that collectively ensure the integrity of the pipeline. This assemblage of arrangements can be envisaged as a "wall" that separates the Pipeline Operator from an undesirable event as shown below.
The Pipe Integrity Management System should be comprehensively described within a manual or set of manuals. Without a documented PIMS a pipeline operator is vulnerable to personnel and system changes and will encounter difficulties when required to demonstrate the effectiveness of the arrangements to senior management, shareholders and the Regulator.
Penspen Integrity has many years experience and has developed a Pipe Integrity Management System which complies with and extends recent codes such as ASME B31.8, API 1160, BS PD 8010, DNV RP 116 and CEN 15174. Using the model, Penspen has implemented PIMS for numerous pipeline operators. The work has involved both documenting the existing arrangements within a collated PIMS Manual as well as developing arrangements for elements of the management system that are incomplete or absent. Such arrangements include risk based inspection, management of change, emergency response procedures and legal compliance.

The suspect is described as a light-skinned black male around 5'9" to 5'10" in height with a muscular build weighing around 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing a long sleeved camouflage shirt and black 'basketball style' shorts which have two white stripes running down the side of each leg with a blue stripe in between.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots
No offense angers its past opponents quite like the New England Patriots'. Last Sunday, the Patriots were beating the Miami Dolphins by a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. With just over eight minutes to go, the Patriots started a 16-play drive that ate more than seven minutes. During the drive, the Patriots ran the ball 13 times, with 10 carries going to Stevan Ridley and six over the left guard. New England put the game away with a field goal to cap off the impressive 77-yard drive. But not everyone on the field was impressed. "It was disrespectful to us to run the same play over and over and be successful," Dolphins defensive lineman Tony McDaniel told Brian Biggane of the Palm Beach Post.Seriously?"Normally when somebody's driving down the field you just think, 'Well, they just had a good run there,' but you run the same play over and over, as a competitor that (ticks) me off," McDaniel said.Teammate Randy Starks agreed with McDaniel... and New England."...
