Aiming to Mend, not End, Death Penalty
Bucking the trend of states scrapping their death penalties, a handful of legislatures are trying to amend their capital-punishment systems to speed up the process and help ensure that more executions take place.
Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott is currently considering a bill the Legislature passed in April that would mandate that the state execute a prisoner within 180 days after the governor signs a death warrant. The 'Timely Justice Act' would create tighter time frames for judges considering death-penalty appeals, and make some types of post-conviction motions harder to bring, including whether a defendant should get a new trial as a result of lawyer incompetence.
In North Carolina, legislators are expected to pass a bill that would overturn a 2009 law allowing death-row inmates to challenge sentences on grounds that they were racially biased. Legislators in other states are pushing bills that fix problems with their lethal-injection procedures, which have led to a host of legal challenges, and in some cases years-long moratoriums on executions.
The efforts to carry out more executions run counter to a growing tide of disenchantment with the death penalty in parts of the country, often because of a widespread belief the death penalty as practiced is costly and inefficient.
Maryland Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley made cost a centerpiece of his successful campaign to get rid of the death penalty earlier this year. The state became the sixth to abolish capital punishment since 2007.
Public support nationwide for capital punishment, at 63%, is near its lowest level in 39 years, according to the most recent Gallup poll on the topic, released in January.
Death-penalty backers in Florida and elsewhere largely agree with the criticisms over cost. But rather than end capital punishment, they aim to make the process more efficient.
"Too many defendants are gaming the system with legal maneuvers that have no bearing on guilt or innocence.… This law will put teeth back into Florida's death penalty," said Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican and a sponsor of the Florida bill.
North Carolina Sen. Thom Goolsby, a Republican who wants to repeal the state's Racial Justice Act, which has been successfully used by several death-row inmates to challenge their sentences on grounds of racial bias, claimed the current law "makes every district attorney a racist." He said the law has bogged down the death penalty in North Carolina, which hasn't executed anyone since 2006.
But opponents of the bills in both North Carolina and Florida say that the wheels often move slowly in capital cases for a reason: to ferret out mistakes that might lead to a wrongful execution.
"There's no way to ask for forgiveness if you execute an innocent person," said Florida Rep. Kionne McGhee, a Democrat who voted against the bill in his state.
North Carolina Rep. Rick Glazier, a Democrat who opposes the bill moving through his state, said repeal of the Racial Justice Act would likely lead to more litigation, because it would affect even those who have used the law. "The law takes away a right that's already been granted," he said. "A repeal is going to trigger a whole lot of legal challenges."
A number of states have proposed fixes to their execution protocols in attempts to get rid of holdups to executions.
The Georgia Legislature in March passed a bill that would make the identities of suppliers and makers of its lethal-injection drug a "state secret." The bill, designed to shield companies from harassment from death-penalty opponents, was signed into law last month by GOP Gov. Nathan Deal.
Earlier this year, the Arkansas Legislature approved a new lethal-injection protocol involving the barbituate phenobarbital, potentially ending a logjam on executions. Last year, the state's Supreme Court struck down its death-penalty law as unconstitutional, claiming it gave the state's Department of Corrections too much discretion in how to carry out executions, including which drugs to use in lethal injections.
Arkansas hasn't executed anyone since 2005, partly as a result of challenges to the state's procedures. But earlier this month, the Arkansas attorney general asked Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe to set execution dates for seven death-row inmates.
"There was no talk of letting the death penalty linger on, dormant and unused," said Sen. Bart Hester, a Republican who filed the bill that sets up the new procedures. "This was a bipartisan position. Arkansans want to see a working death penalty."

Here's some pictures of Vendettas and Pinky Tuscadero at Spectrum on the 19th October.
This was Vendettas second ever gig but you'll be hearing plenty more from them. They have heaps of gigs lined up and support from all the right people. In the audience at this Spectrum show were members of Van She, The Valentinos and Mercy Arms. With fans like that they'll be popular with all the local scenesters in no time.
Their myspace says they're playing at the Modular Christmas party and it sure helps to have Modular on your side. With airplay on Triple J already and good raps from whothehell.net and Big Stereo it seems Vendettas have really jumped the gate on the path to success.
But the headliners at the gig last week were my perennial faves Pinky Tuscadero. Hayley really is the best frontwoman i know.

I have PEAR setup and custom packages installed under the directory
I can ssh in and confirm the files are there, however I can not include them in my application as such
require_once "/home/######/data/pear/php/Mail/Queue.php";
I get an error
Failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I have also tried setting my php include_path to Local: /home/######/data/pear/php Master: .:/home/######/data/pear/php
and received the same error using:
require_once "/Mail/Queue.php";
Another odd thing is that the "/pear/php" directory does not appear in place over ftp, but instead in an "..mnt/######/users/.home/pear/php/" directory
Technical Support tells me that custom PEAR packages are not a supported issue. Any suggestions?

NEW YORK (July 3, 2014) Jewel says she wants the breakup with her husband Ty Murray "to be nothing less loving" than when they got together.
She announced in a letter on her Web site that she and Murray are going their separate ways after a 16-year relationship.
Jewel said she decided to write the "Dear World" post to tip off her fans before they heard the news in the tabloids.
"Oddly the very thing that Ty and I sought in coming together is the very thing we seek in separating. We both value growth. And growth became tragically and undeniably stifled as a couple, and we believe we can find it again in setting each other free. We truly believe we can find greater happiness apart than together, and this is why we are taking the enormous and heartbreaking step of divorce," she wrote.
The singer and Murray were married in 2008 and have a son together.

Local leaders turned out Tuesday to kick off construction of what's being billed as a major economic boost for the Topeka area.
Home Depot broke ground on a new distribution warehouse.
It will be located in the Central Crossing Commerce Park, north of 57th street, west of South Topeka Blvd.
And for Home Depot, Topeka was in just the right spot, being centrally located between the approximately 80 stores in which it will feed.
The project could bring as many as 300 jobs to Topeka by the end of 2012.

A currency crisis is imminent, so investors should avoid shorting the market, said Jim Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings.
One of the most important economic indicators for the stock market, comes out Friday before the bell. And traders are taking their position now!
Stocks opened slightly higher on Thursday after a report showed jobless claims fell last week. Meanwhile, nonfarm productivity rose 1.6 percent in the first quarter, compared to the initial estimate of 0.8 percent and the 0.6 percent drop in the fourth quarter. Read and listen to what experts had to say…
New U.S. jobless claims fell for a third straight week last week; productivity rose 1.6 percent. What does this herald for the stock markets? Art Cashin, UBS Financial Services director of floor operations, offered his insights to CNBC.
Isn't it fascinating that stocks rallied over 200 points on Monday, despite Obama's command-and-control government takeover of General Motors? I think it's because GM's old-economy operation is yesterday's story.
The Dow Industrials briefly turned positive for the year earlier this morning. WAHOO! But wait…the S&P 500 turned positive for 2009 nearly one month ago and is now up over 4.5% this year. So why the performance lag in the Dow (compared to the S&P)?
With the exit of Citigroup and GM from the Dow, new comers Cisco and Travelers bring some heft back into the index. As of Monday's close, the price weighted index is taking out $4.44 (combined price of Citi and GM) and adding in $61.41 (CSCO + TRV). Here's how this change will impact the weight of the remaining 28 stocks of the Dow.
The S&P 500 rose above its 200-day moving average for the first time since May 2008 on an intraday basis, sending a major signal to the bulls.
Stocks soared Monday as investors were encouraged by economic reports out of China and the U.S. and breathed a sigh of relief that General Motors finally filed for bankruptcy protection.
Paul Schatz, president at Heritage Capital, and Dan Fitzpatrick, president at StockMarketMentor.com, discussed their outlook for the economy — and shared their stock/sector likes and dislikes.
Stocks advanced Monday as investors were encouraged by economic reports out of China and the U.S. and shrugged off the General Motors bankruptcy filing.
With the General Motors filing for bankruptcy today, that left a vacancy in one of the most exclusive and prestigious clubs in all of finance. And I would have made the case that Apple Inc. ought to fill GM's slot on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
On a week dominated by GM, a weak dollar, and a rally in the commodities complex, the US markets rallied on Friday, to finish May in positive territory.
Stocks wobbled on Friday as investors were encouraged by a jump in consumer sentiment and a less-bad GDP report, but still remained jittery. Consumer sentiment improved in May to its highest level since last September as expectations for the future surged, but worries about current conditions persisted. Experts weighed in on the these topics and more…
There will be reasonable economic recovery next year — and small caps will be the leaders, said Chuck Royce, portfolio manager at Royce Funds.
With the bulls and bear battling ferociously to control this market, how should you trade?
The bulls took charge of Tuesday's trading and sent stocks more than 2 higher. The market's gains came after four straight days of losses.

The tech sector rally is going to continue and investors should jump in right now, said Chris Armbruster of Al Frank Asset Management and Jon Fisher of Fifth Third Asset Management.
Stocks pared their gains on Wednesday as banks pulled back but investors remained hopeful that the worst may be over for the economy.

But permits the execution of the mentally undeveloped if they are innocent, blameless, helpless and in the womb. Any honest man will place those black-robed executioners among the worst mass murderers of all time, second only to the communists.

Dallas carjacker wins reprieve of execution
06:06 PM CST on Thursday, March 4, 2004
HUNTSVILLE, Texas A condemned inmate described by a prosecutor as an "equal opportunity carjacker" was spared Thursday evening less than an hour before he could have been taken to the Texas death chamber for killing a Dallas-area man who was shot 10 times in the head.
Yokamon Hearn, 25, was facing lethal injection for the 1998 fatal shooting of Frank Meziere, a 23-year-old Plano stockbroker abducted at gunpoint from a self-service car wash in Dallas six years ago.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with defense attorneys who sought a delay in their late appeals and stopped the punishment, but the court also set an accelerated briefing schedule to ensure the appeals would not take months, said Lori Ordiway, an assistant district attorney in Dallas County.
The death warrant would have allowed the execution to be carried out after 6 p.m. although state officials normally wait until all appeals are resolved before moving ahead with the injection.
In the appeal before the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit, lawyers filed late appeals contending Hearn may be mentally retarded.
The U.S. Supreme Court has barred the execution of the mentally retarded.

It would be missing the point to say that 36-year-old Chloe Doutre-Roussel left her last job with a cosmetic company in Paris to move to London this year for a career opportunity. The French woman went to England for love — her love for chocolate.
"Chocolate is my best friend," says Dourtre-Roussel.
Loving chocolate was actually a requirement for the job she had just begun as Chief Buyer and Taster of Chocolate for London's Fortnum and Mason Department store.
"It's a dreamlike thing to be locked in a chocolate shop all night," says Dourtre-Roussel. "And I am locked all day. It's wonderful."
CBS News Correspondent Richard Roth reports Dourtre-Roussel was picked from 3,500 candidates, and she is just learning the stock — from praline to ganache.
Taking inventory at London's Fortnum and Mason Department store could take a hours for Dourtre-Roussel to complete because of the many varieties of chocolates available in the store.
Fortnum and Mason, 300 years old, made its reputation as the British Empire's grocery store. And comprehensive doesn't begin to describe the chocolate department with its 360 different items.
Dourtre-Roussel insists she has never found her passion, now her vocation, as a health risk.
"I eat more than a pound a day and it has been like this for ten years," says Dourtre-Roussel. "And with food in general, it's exactly the same thing. When your body tells you to stop, you stop. When your body tells you, 'ganache not praline,' you go for the ganache. That's all."
It's also her job to travel to buy chocolate overseas and enlighten those who thought chocolate's magic only means it melts in your mouth and not in your hands.
The worst part of the job, she says, will be sampling a few chocolates she doesn't like. But, she explains that it's not such a big downside. After all, it's chocolate.

Newt can read script
Published: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 10:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 10:44 a.m.
To The Editor: I happened on Fox News one morning when Newt Gingrich was waiting to speak about the health care public option, so I waited for his opening statement. Sure enough, the first thing he said was: "The first thing you have to remember is that this is just another plan for the government to increase its power."
People latch onto that without analyzing it, they vote against their own best interests. Newt should give up his excellent Congressional government benefits, the retirement and health care. He should also repair his own roads and sewer lines, monitor his drinking water, police the jail, direct traffic, help the kids at cross walks, drive the school bus, watch for possible terrorists at airports, help the poor find low cost housing, medical services, school lunches for the children, assist the blind and disabled elderly, contribute to universities and colleges, make loans to small businesses and farmers.
I can't think of anything more powerful than the military/industrial complex which operates without reference to the American public good. The ordinary American has lost most of his security in savings and home equity. It would make sense to such a demagogue: why would Americans want universal health care anyway?

When Brevity Is a Virtue
From Alice Munro to Lydia Davis, short-story writers get fresh attention
Praise for a short-story collection often sounds a bit like disparagement. Great short stories are hailed as having "novelistic" qualities, a subtle knock that affirms the novel's place as the highest literary achievement and the final measure of a writer's talent.
Lately, however, the short story seems poised to get its due. This fall, a handful of collections from writers such as Alice Munro, Lydia Davis, Kazuo Ishiguro and Ha Jin have put a dent in the dominant view of short stories as an inferior cousin to the Great American Novel. And changing technology and reading habits have provided a boost for short fiction as more readers discover literature through online literary journals and Web sites, or download short fiction onto mobile devices
Short stories have won unusual plaudits this year. Alice Munro won the 2009 Man Booker International Prize for her body of work; Elizabeth Strout's short-story collection, "Olive Kitteridge," claimed the Pulitzer Prize. "Olive Kitteridge" has sold 472,000 copies according to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks about 75% of book sales—impressive for any kind of literary fiction.
"There's this myth of negativity around the popularity of the short story," said literary agent Susan Golomb, who added there "there have been some breakouts this year."
Such successes may not be enough to overturn the unshakable belief in publishing that short story fiction doesn't sell. Masters of the craft such as Ms. Munro, Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor are still often cited as exceptions in a literary marketplace that prizes long form.
Publishers, wary of taking on short fiction, often insist on a two-book deal for stories and a novel.
Short stories have long been prized as a way for new writers to break onto the scene before they have the time or chops to write a novel. But it remains rare for a well known writer to specialize in them. Even Alice Munro, who's been called the greatest living master of the short story, has said she got used to writing short fiction when she had children and couldn't find the time to write anything longer. Unlike most famous writers, however, she stuck with it: she's published 11 story collections and just one novel. "Too Much Happiness," due out next week, is more dramatic and violent than many of her previous works, which often deal with domestic life. The collection includes tales of a home invasion, interfamilial murders and sexual perversion.
Ann Close, Ms. Munro's editor for about 30 years, said the precision and vigor of Ms. Munro's plotting and prose allow her to pack as much into her stories as many novels contain. "Like any really great writer, a huge huge huge amount is between the lines," she said.
Lydia Davis—who has won a cult following for her ultra-short stories, which sometimes run as short as a single sentence or paragraph—is likewise better known for her compact short fiction than her lone novel. Ms. Davis says she finds that shorter pieces sometimes have a bigger emotional impact because not a single word is wasted.
"The shorter it is, the more every word counts," said Ms. Davis.
Some established writers say they feel pressure to deliver novels. Chinese American author Ha Jin says a good batch of short stories "can do more than a novel" because it allows a writer to play with perspectives and voices without worrying about structural continuity.
"I feel more at home with short stories, but the novel is a major form," said Mr. Jin, whose forthcoming collection is set among Chinese immigrants in Queens. "Often, the writer is measured by that."
With the growing popularity of e-readers and digital devices, traditional publishing models are being challenged in ways that may benefit short fiction. "Flash fiction" websites, which post stories that are often 1,000 words or shorter, and online journals such as "Five Chapters," which serializes one story each week, have emerged as a literary niche for readers accustomed to browsing the Internet.
Some publishers are testing iTunes-like models for individual stories. Delacorte Press released 14 stories by the late Kurt Vonnegut as e-books for $1.99 each.
Last January, Harper Perennial launched "Fifty-Two Stories," a Web site that publishes a story a week. Harper has also added "bonus stories" by new writers to classic collections by Melville, Tolstoy, and others. Barb Johnson, whose stories are set in New Orleans, appears at the back of a collection by Dostoyevsky; Simon Van Booy's story "Tiger, Tiger" is printed in an Oscar Wilde collection.

Spartanburg vet treats injured eagle
Published: Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — A Spartanburg veterinarian with experience in treating wild birds is working to nurse an injured eagle back to health.
Photo Galleries
Dr. Bill Bledsoe is working with a yearling bald eagle with an infection.
Two Natural Resources Department wildlife officers brought the bird in Wednesday after they got a call from a resident at Lake Blalock in Mayo.
Sgt. Gary Wilson says he found a couple of holes that could have come from a .22-caliber rifle, but he didn't find any lead.
The bird did not have any broken bones or internal injuries. Bledsoe says a wound on the eagle's back and belly had become infected.
The wounds got some antiseptic and a couple of antibiotic shots to speed its recovery.
Officials hope to return the bird to the lake next week.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $3.32 (15% off)
Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
It's expensive because it's ORGANIC
Posted by Reviewer2765799 on Jan 27, 2015
This is a DELICIOUS, delightful tart cherry concentrate. We add 2TBS to a quart mason jar of water and it's wonderful! The cost is prohibitive to use it at any greater concentration than that. Keep in mind that though this is very expensive, it's organic, which is important, as cherries are one of the most sprayed (pesticides and herbicides) fruits there are. Eden has not sold out to a mainstream company and is one of the view still being run by it's original owners, who had a vision of what food should look like -- the same food our great, great, great grandparents used to enjoy. This is a good company to support and the quality is second to none.
This is delicious!
Posted by Reviewer1582777 on Nov 05, 2013
It is a nice tart cherry syrup. Just be supercareful when opening the jar, especially the first time. It is not the most practical of containers.
Posted by 5219788476217161666 on Oct 02, 2014
helps me fall asleep, delicious just with water, on millet or quinoa as dessert, or yogurt
Love it
Posted by Reviewer2539723 on Mar 05, 2012
Great product - would have given it five stars, but the wide mouth on the container makes it hard to pour.

Gay groups show solidarity with marred Moscow pride
Post your comment

Reader comments
It's just like 'X-Men: The Last Stand'
Moscow Pride:One point that hasn't been identified is that when we heard that the couts had upheld the Pride ban, we tried to arrange events which would not provoke the police, and my impression was that the police had agreed to our proposals and guaranteed our safety. So for example we were encouraged to go as individuals to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, rather than en masse, but when we got there the burial place wasd closed and we were surrouned by fascists.Also at a packed press conference a couple of hours before the events, we all signed up to a "Moscow Declaration of Human Rights". I haven't seen this on any news report yet. Many European politicians movingly spoke in favour of this document, including Volker Beck, who was later to be attcked by fascits and arrested by the police.Best Wishes,Derek Lennard.IDAHO-UKDerek Lennard.IDAHO-UK Co-ordinator.
As pointed out, this comes just a week after Russia assumed the Presidency of the Council of Europe, the human rights watchdog that guarantees freedom of expression and assembly.People should lobby their local MP immediately to raise this issue in Parliament and to demand that the Presidency of the Council of Europe be removed from Russia.I thought that Russia had learnt about and fought fascism in the past, clearly not a lesson that it has carried forward to the present. Now it is no better than Nazi Germany!
I am not a gay. But i do not have any prejudice against gays.I think that it is biological and psychological orientation that makes people homosexual.Now about Russia.Russia is one of the most ignorant,uncivilized,biased,paranoid,racist countries in the world.I know because i studied in Russia for 7 years.It is defenitely the most racist country in the world.In a country were every week atleast one non white is being killed or seriously attacked,if you wish for gay rights openely,then i think it is suicidal.In russia even human rights people who advicates equal rights for all races are being killed or attacked.Antifascists are being traced and killed.Authorities support racist organisations .If not for official support, nazi organisations will not survive.But in Russia antifascists are being targeted by police rather than racist neonazis.This is the reality of Russia.So your life is in your hands if you think to rebel against official policies of Russia.But most of the blame for growth of neo fascism in Russia must go for islamists who tried to destabilize russia during 90`s and even now.Both islamism and neonazism must be eradicated from the world if the world is to live peacefully.

Risk Factors for Nerve Pain After Shingles
Researchers have long known that older people are more likely to get PHN, the nerve pain after shingles, but recent studies have found other factors that increase risks.
In one study published in the journal Neurology, researchers -- including Dworkin -- looked at data from 965 people with shingles. The researchers identified five risk factors for developing PHN in people who had been recently diagnosed with shingles:
- Older
- Female
- Presence of symptoms before the rash appeared, like numbness, tingling, itching, or pain
- Severe pain during the illness's initial stages
- Severe rash
Importantly, the researchers found the more risk factors you have, the greater the risk of developing PHN.
For instance, 17% of women with shingles and 26% of those who had severe pain went on to get PHN. But 50% of women who were over age 60 and had symptoms before the rash, severe rash, and acute pain went on to get PHN.
The Emotional Toll of Nerve Pain After Shingles
Researchers are not just looking at biological and neurological risk factors for PHN. Dworkin was also a co-author of a study looking at psychological risk factors, too. The results were published in the Journal of Pain in 2005.
"It certainly looks like psychological stress can be a potent risk factor for PHN," Dworkin tells WebMD.
The study showed that people with shingles who went on to develop PHN were more likely to have had symptoms of personality disorders, hypochondria, intense worry about their disease, and other bodily complaints.
Dworkin says previous studies have already shown a connection between stress and shingles development.
"One study even found that the risk of developing PHN was higher in people who were living alone when they developed shingles than people living with others," Dworkin says, perhaps indicating that social isolation increases the risks of PHN.
Preventing Nerve Pain After Shingles
But if you're worried about PHN, don't despair. There are medications that can cut your risks of getting the condition. There are three antiviral drugs used: famciclovir (Famvir), valacyclovir (Valtrex), and acyclovir (Zovirax). These medications need to be started within two to three days of the onset of shingles.

We're in a giving mood, so we'll be pulling out a lot of the old cassette gems from the vaults on the regular for a while, just to change things up a bit. Here is a classic session from The Wake Up Show, that took place around 1996. This session has been chopped up for the show's freestyle CD series, but here is the full, uncut session which features each Jurassic 5, Al Tariq (Beatnuts), Grav (Correct Records), and Mykill Miers. Some of the best beats of the era are featured in this session, and Chali 2na outshines them all.

Product Enquiry button shows in IE; not at all in Firefox. After seeing this, I really didn't do any further testing.
This seems pretty useless as anything other than a free demo. It looks like the paid version might be useful, but at $40 there are cheaper ways to get better results. Product support seems to be have been abandoned. There are support requests from over six months ago with no response. I'm not giving it one star because there are worse plugins out there and I cannot be certain that somebody would not find it useful.

The last decade has witnessed the increasing importance of consumers as providers of mental health services. Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams and ACT variants, with their emphasis on rehabilitation and support in the client's natural environment, have hosted consumer-professional collaborations. The authors discuss one such program in which an ACT program for homeless mentally ill adults employed consumer advocates (CAs). Consumer advocates were found to have a service profile similar to other staff. Further, there is suggestive evidence that the employment of CAs created a more positive attitude toward persons with mental illness. Issues of role definition, boundaries, support with supervision and the importance of CAs' experiences with mental illness are discussed.

Stability Operations is a crucial element of full spectrum operations, the Army's fundamental concept described in FM 3-0, Operations. FM 3-0 prescribes that the Army can combine offensive, defensive, and stability operations simultaneously within a Joint campaign.
What has the Army done?
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army recognizes that this requires interagency acceptance, and indeed, leadership. FM 3-07 is the departure point for the Army and other agencies to examine the nature of conflict from the perspective of forces on the ground. In turn, the manual will likely galvanize the other agencies to examine their roles in persistent conflict and serves as the catalyst for integration of interagency capabilities.
The manual also discusses how Army capabilities support a partner nation as part of peacetime military engagement. Those activities, executed in a relatively benign security environment under theater security cooperation plans, share many of the same broad goals as stability operations conducted in the aftermath of conflict or disaster. Aims include building partner capacity, strengthening legitimate governance, maintaining rule of law, fostering economic growth, and forging a sense of national unity. Peacetime military engagement remains vital for sustaining the long-term viability of host nations and multinational cooperation. Success in these endeavors typically requires a long-term commitment by external actors and ultimately the support and participation of the host-nation populace.
Why is this important to the Army?

Even the most optimistic of basketball fans are beginning to conclude that all or a healthy majority of the upcoming 2011-12 NBA season will be lost due to the looming lockout, so writing a story about the impending season is like talking about new furniture for your house that is currently in foreclosure.
It's a shame the lockout is in place for all NBA cities, but perhaps none more so than Sacramento. It's been written ad nauseum that ownership had the moving vans packed and were absolutely prepared to vacate Sacramento for Anaheim last Spring.
But after a lengthy arbitration between the NBA Board of Governors, Commissioner David Stern and Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson, Stern essentially demanded that Sacramento be given one more chance to construct a new arena that has been such a hot button topic for more than 10 years in California's capitol.
So with Kings fever again sweeping Northern California, after narrowly avoiding losing their beloved franchise, The Kings added more intrigue to what already would've been considerably more fan support with the drafting of Jimmer Fredette.
It didn't take long for Jimmer fever to catch on in Sacramento. As the Kings routinely do every year for their rookies, they hosted a meet and greet session at a local mall a few days after the NBA Draft.
In recent seasons, it's been the fans' first chance to acquaint themselves with players like Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins. When Fredette made his Sacramento debut in late June at the same mall, the attendance was so overwhelming the nearest highway was in a gridlock for more than 90 minutes.
Fredette will come in with more hype than any rookie in the Sacramento era, by a country mile. From a national perspective, he's again brought attention to an NBA city that desperately yearned to be in the newspaper for reasons other than perpetual losing and inability to secure a new arena deal.
There will be pressures placed on Jimmer from a variety of directions, some having to do with his on the court production, some from the business side of basketball. Fredette will be expected to deliver from day one.
And deliver he will. Sacramento wasn't a perfect fit from a personnel standpoint by any means, but his brilliant offensive gifts can't be restrained by a stubborn coach who won't play rookies, or his lack of a definite position or even the number of ball hogs that comprise the Kings' present roster.
Another constant knock on Fredette is the competition he played against. Playing in the Mountain West Conference, Fredette was able to feast on non competitive programs like TCU, Wyoming, Utah and Air Force.
His critics are quick to point that out, but they never mention the fact that he also played against fellow NCAA tournament participants like UNLV and San Diego State. They also never mention how he played alongside four nobodies at BYU and every opposing defense was geared to stop him and him alone. It won't be like that at the NBA level, where he'll play alongside equally talented players and he'll basically be an afterthought in opposing defensive game plans.
Fredette will effortlessly slide between the point guard and shooting guard positions, like Stephen Curry did in Golden State two years ago, as an undersized combo guard who could shoot the lights out and had good enough handle and court vision to run the team. He will instantly be the best shooter on the roster. Hell, he's already one of the best shooters in the world at only 22 years of age.
He will step in from day one and be hands down the best playmaker on the Kings' roster. When this ugly work stoppage does finally conclude, and it will at some point, Jimmer will be granted entry to the practice facility and will get the chance to unveil his multifaceted game to his NBA brethren. After a few weeks of busting jumpers on his teammates in practice, he is going to embarrass established NBA veterans who figure they'll eat the scrawny kid for breakfast.
Make no mistake, Jimmer Fredette is going to be a handful for would be defenders early and often in his NBA career. But on the flip side of the coin, Jimmer's defensive intensity and lateral quickness will be put to the test early and often as well.
A Lilliputian by NBA standards, opposing guards will take one look at Fredette and demand teammates to clear out so they can isolate on Jimmer. There is no defending (no pun intended) Jimmer's defense while at BYU. He lost track of his defensive assignments and allowed his man to get to the cup far too easily, far too frequently.
Jimmer's offense is so good, it's going to be very hard to keep him off the court. But Jimmer's defense is so putrid, it's going to be very hard to keep him on the court.
He doesn't have to become Rajon Rondo or Tony Allen, but he does have to become a guy the opposition can't pick on. J.J. Redick was once looked at as a situational player who could hardly scratch out any minutes in Stan Van Gundy's rotation; but now, thanks in large part to his defensive evolution into someone who can be trusted instead of a defensive weak link, Redick has played consistent minutes for a championship-contending franchise.
In Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins and the additions of a number of contributing veterans like Marcus Thornton, John Salmons, Jason Thompson and J.J. Hickson, the Kings' talent level has improved tenfold from just three years ago when they were owners of the league's worst record.
With Jimmer Fredette in the fold in the backcourt, we will see if this youth movement will continue to ascend up the standings and threaten for a playoff spot.
Now we just need a season.

Cost and cost effectiveness of behavioral interventions are critical parts of dissemination and implementation into non-academic settings. Due to the lack of indicative data and policy makers' increasing demands for both program effectiveness and efficiency, cost analyses can serve as valuable tools in the evaluation process.
To stimulate and promote broader use of practical techniques that can be used to efficiently estimate the implementation costs of behavioral interventions, we propose a set of analytic steps that can be employed across a broad range of interventions.
Intervention costs must be distinguished from research, development, and recruitment costs. The inclusion of sensitivity analyses is recommended to understand the implications of implementation of the intervention into different settings using different intervention resources. To illustrate these procedures, we use data from a smoking reduction practical clinical trial to describe the techniques and methods used to estimate and evaluate the costs associated with the intervention. Estimated intervention costs per participant were $419, with a range of $276 to $703, depending on the number of participants.

I was wondering if there was a way to have grid format in specific pages?
My website is a blog where I would normally only have posts, and on the HOME page, all my posts are displayed in full posts. Now, I'm trying to create a new page using a category. For that page, I would like to have grid format. However, currently it's only showing posts in full posts (because my HOME page is in full posts).
Is there a way to keep the HOME page in full posts, and have a specific page using grid format?
Thank you very much!

Level 2 Manifesto
CiDa was a Level 2 college project which was the conclusion of a three part brief. The first two briefs were to study an art movement in history and profession. These were given out at random and the two I was given were Dadaism and a Chiropodist.
I decided to have fun with the final brief combining the first two parts to create CiDa, an imaginary group of people who believe in the divine power of feet and there infleunce over the body. Feet being the main focus of the imagery I thought a shoe box containing an induction kit to the group would be a good package, the Dada style leaving the look of the images quite open.
The images show a box and a fold out explaining the main beliefs of CiDa.
All work is lithoprinted.
