On the other hand, if your question is really whether long distance touring is healthier than day rides or commuting, the correct answer might be "it depends".
It is my experience that if you don't manage your resources properly, both in and outside of your body, you won't be a long distance tourer for long. On the other hand, long distance touring teaches you a lot about your body (if you care to listen) and so you may start out doing many of the wrong things and end up managing your resources just fine. You probably want to use the same common sense though regarding the kind of food you consume that you try to use when you're home. I eat much as I do at home for all but one and sample the local fare during the one meal. I do carry some food bars with me for emergency rations but I really don't need them often.
Long distance touring also doesn't necessarily mean that you're riding from sun-up to sun-down, though if this is what floats your boat and you feel good doing it, by all means, go for it. When I tour, I'm not in a hurry. I prefer to ride for 5 hours or so and use the rest of my waking hours securing food and a shower, doing laundry, pitching my tent, visiting the library or local museum to charge my gadgets and learn about the local area and people, socializing (when possible), reading and so forth. So long-distance touring may look completely different for you than it looks for me (aside from that it keeps going for weeks or months on end). But just the fact that it keeps going doesn't in itself make it extreme or unhealthy.
I couldn't agree with hyegeek more. Carbohydrates are unnecessary, unlike fats and protein. My experience is similar as well... 50 years old, lost 100lbs by eliminating sugar, grains (most starches) and seed and vegetable oils and lots of biking of course. My protocol is to eat real food... sounds strange but I always eat at home. Meaning I never eat at restaurants or fast food joints. A long distance tour would present some special challenges for me.
Um, I think you must have been absent that day...
I do low carb for medical reasons. It is how I'm controlling my blood sugars.
I agree with your statement on what a good diet is. I also believe I've settled on a good one. I get most of my carbs from veggies and the rest from some fruit. In fact, I eat a lot more veggies then I ever did when I was eating a "balanced" diet. What I don't eat are the highly processed carbs (starches and sugar) that make up so much of the food I see around me. Most of my calories come from fat and my body is tuned to burn fat. Now at 49, I have better health and more energy then I did when I was in my 20s.
When I'm out someplace and can't get my preferred foods, I will settle for whatever keeps me going without dumping starches/sugars or other processed carbs into my system. Those will not only raise my blood sugar into a dangerous range, but will have me feeling terrible for several days after eating them. Given the choice, I'd drink a cup of olive oil before I even considered a Twinkie.
Never a problem riding many miles and I feel that it actually enhances my athletic performance (fat burning as opposed to sugar burning).
What are many miles for you?
My standard pace is 125 mi/day. Anything 125-200 mi/day is many miles for me. I would consider it amazing doing 125 mi/day for 30 days without any single rest day on low carb food.
I have toured while eating a partly low carb diet in SE Asia simply because there was little high carb food available in rural Laos and Vietnam. I lost what little fat I had and more, I felt apathetic and I was told that I looked dreadful and unhealthy which I certainly felt, it is not an experience or diet I would wish to repeat.
Maybe just coincidence, but I cannot help but suspect that the steady diet of pizza, ice cream, peanut butter, cheese, cookies, hash browns, bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy may have aggravated an existing condition and contributed to the attacks. When traveling with a group it's easy to chow down with everybody else thinking your normal again for the duration of the trip when you still have CAD. It' easy to say "I worked hard today and I deserve this pint of ice cream!" Yes, I think one needs and burns off the extra calories but in my case the cholesterol kept rising despite the exercise.

I'm not married but have lived with my girlfriend for 11 years. Every guy has different priorities for wanting lower surgery and mine was being able to stand and urinate. I am thrilled that this part of the surgery was completely successful. The sexual side of it was always secondary to me so believe it or not I haven't used it for that purpose yet, mainly because I've been off sex for a long time due to depression. I am coming off the pills now slowly so I'll let you know if and when. It is all fully functional though and I do inflate it every week as recommended by my surgeon

Your English seems pretty good to me and don't worry about the questions, I was just the same before surgery
Take care

Growing tomatoes vertically
I prefer to grow tomatoes in a cage or tied to a stake or trellis (rather than letting them sprawl on the ground) because:
- I have trouble with bermudagrass and it can get started all too easily in areas I can't see, such as under vines.
- Our summer weather is very humid. The fruit gets better air circulation when the plants are off the ground and the fruit rot problem is greatly reduced.
- I can plant twice as many tomatoes in the same space if I stake or cage them. (In fact, you can grow all the tomatoes you can eat in a strip that's six or eight feet long if you grow them vertically.)
I have bought tomato cages several times, so I have several different sorts. I took a good look at them yesterday and I can offer some advice about judging their quality when purchasing them. Look at how many rings they have as well as how many legs they have.
- Best: 4 legs and 4 rings
- OK: 3 legs and 4 rings
- Weaker: 3 legs and 3 rings
Even with 4 legs, I usually put a stake through the cage to help steady it as the plant inside grows. A big tomato plant with lots of fruit is heavy. When all that foliage gets soaked in heavy rain and the ground goes squishy and maybe the wind is blowing too, the tomato cage can tip to one side.
I always grow my pepper plants inside tomato cages, but I don't always use tomato cages for my tomato plants. This year, I'm going to stake the tomatoes. I have planted each tomato by a steel fence post. As the plants grow, I'll weave twine around a plant, around a post, around the next plant, around the next post, etc. If I remember to add some twine about once a week, it works well.
Steel fence posts are the ultimate tomato stake. The longest ones are five feet tall in the ground, maybe a little more. You can count on them to stand firm, no matter what the weather or the plants do. They have handy notches on one side that keeps your string from sliding down, and they're reusable for a couple decades or more.
You should also buy a fence post pounder. It's a heavy steel tube with handles, closed on one end, that slips over top of the fencepost. To drive the post, put the pounder in place and then raise it a little and let it fall to whack the post into the ground. It is vastly easier to use a fence post pounder than to drive the fenceposts with a sledge hammer.
When it's time to pull up the fence posts, they are much easier to remove when the ground is thoroughly wet. Just "wee-waw" them in all directions, and they'll come right out.

Dundee has been chosen by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) for the location of a new root server in Scotland to support the internet's main infrastructure.
The data centre run by brightsolid Online Technology will house the ICANN root server. Another root server in Edinburgh is already used to support the internet's core infrastructure.
Root servers are a key part of a database at the centre of the internet, called the Domain Name System (DNS). This database is used by almost all internet applications to translate worldwide website addresses into numeric addresses, which identify where content is physically stored so it can be accessed.
Joe Abley, ICANN's director of DNS operations, said: "Root servers play a critical role in the internet's infrastructure and this server is part of an ongoing effort to improve internet accessibility and operations globally, along with improving the security and stability of the Domain Name System for all internet users."
Earlier this year ICANN had to extend the deadline for companies to apply for their own unique generic top-level domains (gTLDs) due to software problems.

Imagine for a minute that you are a small online retailer of sunglasses. You don't have a brick-and-mortar store, but you offer all the traditional brands that customers would purchase either online or in-store, all at a great price. When a customer is looking to purchase a certain brand of sunglasses and types the brand name into Google, what are the chances that your website beats out Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and other major online retailers?
It all comes down to those stars that appear under your website's Google AdWords displays – known as Google Seller Ratings (GSRs). These ratings come from reviews left directly on Google, or through a Google-approved third-party review aggregation site like Trustpilot. GSRs have the potential to not only increase your click-through rates by 17 percent, but also bring down cost-per-click (CPC) rates and add trustworthiness to the text ads you pay for through Google AdWords.
In this slideshow, Jonathan Hinz, director of strategic partnerships and business development at Trustpilot, offers six tips to help you improve your GSRs and get your business noticed above the competition.

Warriors guard Jarrett Jack may be able to command more playing time elsewhere in the coming years, but he says he would prefer to remain Stephen Curry's back-up and intends to sign a contract this summer to prove it. Via NBA.com: "He arrived in a July trade and embraced the adventure of a new city and the new situation that would have been difficult for many players to accept. Jarrett Jack actually liked the unknown. The season-long discovery process led to a decision. He wants to re-sign with the Warriors in the summer, even with the clear understanding he might be giving up the chance to start somewhere else for the certainty of a backup role to Stephen Curry at point guard in Golden State. Jack is so sure of it, he told NBA.com, that he has informed management and directed his agents to re-enforce the message that he is hoping to stay once he becomes a free agent in July. 'That's one of the reasons why I'm really trying to enjoy the moment right now,' he said Saturday with the Warriors holding a 2-1 lead over the favored Nuggets in the best-of-seven first round that continues Sunday night at Oracle Arena. 'I'm appreciating everything that's going on. In the summer, hopefully that process is a little bit further than we all want it to be. There are a lot of variables that go into making that decision. Hopefully, I can stay right here. I told my agent. I'm sure he spoke to the powers that be that I have desires to stay right here and help this franchise grow to the best of its ability.'"
I love Jarrett Jack, man. There's so many things that he brings to the table. I'm willing to give him the full MLE considering he deserves/will get more if he were to sign somewhere else. If Landry chooses to accept his player option, we will be 2 deep at every position.
Curry, Jack
Thompson, Bazemore
Barnes, Rush
Lee, Landry
Bogut, Ezeli
I don't know about you guys but that more than makes up for the fact that we don't have any draft picks to me. Can't wait to see what unfolds. I hope we give him at least 3 years. In terms of the years, I'm sure we're going to let him dictate it assuming that he comes back at a discounted price.
Can you guys remember the last time a player re-signed with the team at a discounted price? The times are changing, and they're changing QUICK. So blessed to be a Warrior fan right now.

Quincy Community Theatre's Annual QUILTA Ceremony Held
Quincy Community Theatrecelebrated its 2012 season with its annual QUILTA ceremony Saturday evening at Town & Country Inn and Suites. The ceremony honored volunteers from across the Tri-States and awarded 2012 QUILTA Awards for outstanding performances to six individuals.
The evening began with a formal dinner, followed by an opening tribute to the 75th Anniversary Season, and finally the awards and recognition ceremony with Trevor Ketteman and Phil Quevillon serving as Masters of Ceremonies. Both men have been heavily involved at QCT both onstage and off for many years, and were last seen in this year's Theatre Café.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the QCT's highest honor, the Enid Ireland Award, presented to Jim Drew for his dedication to QCT over the past 32 years. His first appearance onstage was as the bass for the barber shop quartet in QCT's 1981 production of The Music Man. Since then, Drew has been seen in Oliver, You Can't Take it with You, twice as the mechanical operator of Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, and numerous other productions. He has also been one of QCT's most dedicated volunteers, building sets, working as crew, running the light board over three dozen times, operating sound, serving an usher, and most recently as Head Usher. Drew previously won the 1987 Technical Director's Award with his wife Dienna, and his children Mike and Susan; a QUILTA for his role as "Derelict" in Little Shop of Horrors; and a QUILTA for his role as "Mortimer" in the 1990 production of The Fantasticks.
Enid Ireland, who was active in Quincy Community Theatre from its beginnings, was the first recipient of this award, in her name, in 1974. The Enid Ireland Award is presented by the theatre to an individual who has shown outstanding dedication and service to the creation, organization or continuation of Quincy Community Theatre.
QCT's Technical Director, Paul Denckla, presented the Technical Director's Award to Bonnie Furniss for her outstanding contribution to costumes throughout 2012.
Lenny Bart, QCT's Managing Artistic Director, gave the Director's Award to Kurt Schmiedeskamp for the dedication he has shown to QCT.Since he began volunteering, Schmiedeskamp has served on the play reading committee in both 2009 and 2012, and as a scanner and raffle ticket seller at almost every production of the 2012 Season.
Winners for an outstanding performance in a play were:
- Tricia Bart, for Cactus Flower
- Sarah Droege, for Cactus Flower
Winners for an outstanding performance in a musical were:
- Emily Dozier, for OKLAHOMA!
- Josh Kollitz, for OKLAHOMA!
- Patrick Regner, for OKLAHOMA!
- Sierra Schnack, for OKLAHOMA!
The Ghost Light Award was presented to five individuals. All recipients were nominated by cast and crew members for the show in which they were involved and a committee selected the winners from the nominations. The Ghost Light Award is given to one member of each production team who demonstrates effort that goes above and beyond cast or crew expectations, willingness to help others for the success of the entire show, and ingenuity in problem solving. The recipients were:
- Meredith L'Heureux, for The Boy Friend
- Susan Scholz, for Enchanted April
- Joseph Regner, for OKLAHOMA!
- Patrick Regner, for Cactus Flower
- Mike Smith, for Inspecting Carol
Also presented were The Burning Flame Award, given to Alice Gorman and Megan Maiers for outstanding effort in a student production; and the "Rosie," awarded to Jay Stalder—a high school student who displayed the dedication and volunteer services exemplified by Rose Lacquement, a long-time QCT volunteer who passed away unexpectedly in 1999.
QCT is always looking for volunteers in costume, set work, box office, ushering, etc. Individuals interested in volunteering or auditioning for the 2013 season can contact the QCT Box Office at 217.222.3209, check online at 1qct.org, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

From Springfield's State Journal-Register:
A 23-year-old Springfield man faces federal criminal charges after he was arrested in the basement of the Lincoln Home early Saturday.
Springfield police and National Park Service rangers said Jordan L. Clark, of the 800 block of North Sixth Street, might have been attempting to steal copper wire from the heating and air conditioning system.
Damage was estimated at $500 to $1,000.
Police say Clark appeared to be under the influence when he threw a brick through the basement window and crawled inside about 1:20 a.m. Saturday.
No word on whether the homeowner, a local lawyer and former state representative, was inside the residence at the time. Neighbors do report, however, that he earned a reputation as an amateur wrestler in his youth, and probably could have held his own until police arrived.

404 Should Be method_missing
Really gotta wonder about that.
4 comments:
99% of the time though, the correct behavior of method_missing is to throw an exception. That's what a 404 really is. You sent an object (/articles/1) a message (GET) and an exception is raised.ReplyDelete
Perhaps there should be a distinction between a null object and a message an object doesn't understand. In my example above, the 404 could mean either that the object doesn't exist, or it does exist but doesn't implement that particular message.
Actually I just looked up the HTTP status codes and it looks like 405 would be the appropriate response if an object doesn't implement a particular method.
Okay after doing some more thinking I just don't follow you. There are a number of HTTP status codes that are used to convey information to the client. 404 means that they made a request to an object that didn't exist. Why wouldn't you want to use that?
p.s. I hate your captcha. I never get it on the first try.
Well, Blogger sucks, it's true, but hey, it's free.ReplyDelete
Anyhoo - when you're linking to something, it can be an API, it can be an Active Resource, it can also be just some random article. In a blogging site, it can be both. This means your user could be a program or a human. You get an invalid request of some kind, it automatically goes to the server equivalent of method_missing, which analyzes the user agent. Bots and WS clients get error codes, humans get an apology page with autoloaded results of a search based on their invalid request.
The problem with the Active Resource model, a URL is a message passed to an object, is that the message-passing mechanism is exposed. This breaks encapsulation. So if your goal is to build whole interconnected systems of Active Resource "objects" on the Web, that system's going to be way more fragile than would be ideal. Objects can never really pass messages internally because there is no protection. The message-passing mechanism doesn't have the ability to bury things several layers deep. At any moment a call to an object calling an object calling an object can in fact just be some user typing a string. And that user can be friendly, or malicious; they can be smart or dumb.
This means that Active Resource, for all its ambition to turn the Web into a gigantor-fied Smalltalk virtual machine, really makes it much more like object-oriented Perl. Now very few people still love Perl, but I'm one of them; even so, though, Perl's OO paradigm isn't ideal, and it isn't the greatest thing about Perl. In fact it's very far from the greatest thing about Perl, and it's very far from ideal. I'm not talking binoculars far. This is like Hubble telescope far. An OO paradigm without any ability to enforce encapsulation at all doesn't really give rise to incredible code.
Anyway, I hope I answered your question. I definitely answered the big question on my mind, which had been, what am I going to say at OSCON that I haven't said already? That's it right there. Active Resource could have totally bitten off more than it could chew, and duplicated OO Perl where it intended to duplicate Smalltalk.
Bots and WS clients get error codes, humans get an apology page with autoloaded results of a search based on their invalid request.ReplyDelete
Okay, so I guess you just want 404 pages to be more helpful. Conceptually those two responses are the same though.
The problem with the Active Resource model, a URL is a message passed to an object, is that the message-passing mechanism is exposed.
Actually, exposing the message-passing mechanism is precisely what makes the ARes model work in the first place.
The web model doesn't break encapsulation, it inverts it. When we talk about encapsulation, we usually mean that we expose an API and don't let anyone directly modify data. What happens when we approach it from the opposite end? Expose data to clients, but don't let them directly modify the API. All of a sudden we have a model that works beautifully on the web. When a browser sends a message to an object, it'll get the response which may contain links to a bunch of other objects. And the browser knows how it can communicate with those objects already, instead of getting an object with a shitload of possible messages (that the browser, bless its heart, doesn't understand). Then it becomes a matter of who you know rather than what you know. Any object can implement the limited, fixed API however it wants, and then becomes even more useful by letting the client know of other objects that may be of use.
Rich APIs can be awesome when you've got a rich client. When you can't control or extend the client though, life becomes easier when you restrict the API and expose the data. Objects end up being small and very focused. Often they're not useful on their own. But they can link you to other objects, and in the end you have a network of objects forming a very powerful system.
Then it becomes a matter of who you know rather than what you know.ReplyDelete
That in and of itself does not sound so good.
Objects end up being small and very focused. Often they're not useful on their own. But they can link you to other objects, and in the end you have a network of objects forming a very powerful system.
OK. On the one hand, you have this tradition of clunky RPC attempts that fail, and you have huge XML object-transfer methods, and then over here you have JSON, which just works, and Web mashups, which can be great. So obviously what you have on the Web is this sort of loose coupling thing, and loose coupling is a good thing.
So far so good. But it places a ceiling on the complexity of things like mashups, and while many mashups are useful, the average mashup is a trivial waste of time that only entertains other programmers. You look at something like Basecamp, widgets exist for updating Basecamp without a browser, that's great, in that case loose coupling and lightweight protocols give you tons of tiny things that all do one job well.
Okay, so I guess you just want 404 pages to be more helpful. Conceptually those two responses are the same though.
No no no. You don't understand at all. method_missing is a tool for programmers. The 99% use case for method_missing might be throwing an exception, but the huge selling point for method_missing is Rails. Why is method_missing a good idea? Why should I bother to include method_missing when I'm building a new language? Because of Rails.
The point isn't just that exception handling in a Web app should be invisible to users. The point is that if you build a method_missing into a server, some next DHH will come along and build something useful with it.


text: MKG told Coach Cal during the preseason that he wasn't sure if he was good enough for the NBA and doubted whether he should have gone pro. With a pep talk from Cal, the League's youngest player kept working and has a successful season so far, being named Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month. From the Charlotte Observer: "Apparently Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had a crisis of confidence in the preseason, but his college coach quickly put out that fire. Kentucky coach John Calipari, speaking with local media in Lexington, revealed Friday that Kidd-Gilchrist sent him text messages that 'I may have made a mistake' turning pro, and 'I don't think I'm good enough.' 'He was scared to death,' Calipari recalled. Calipari brought this up to illustrate how much he valued Kidd-Gilchrist's competitiveness, resilience and energy. He reminded Kidd-Gilchrist of that in a series of texts. Calipari said he told his former star, 'What? Are you kidding me? You may not shoot it as well. You may not bounce it as well. But the thing you do, no one else does. So you keep playing hard and competing. That's what you do.' Asked about all this before Friday's Bobcats-Milwaukee Bucks game, Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said most great athletes are motivated by a fear of failure. 'So he comes in early every day and puts up extra shots and watches film. He's great in the locker room, and that's not something' the public sees, Dunlap said."

Remove bone and flatten meat so that it may be rolled. If the pork shoulder is very fatty, a small amount may be removed. Score fat well and marinate for a minimum of 12 hours in the sour orange juice, garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Line meat with ham slices, bacon slices, prunes and guava shells. Roll meat carefully to keep the filling inside the roll. Tie firmly with a butcher twine. Cover with brown sugar and 1/2 bottle of Malta and cook for 1 hour in the preheated oven. At this point, turn the meat, cover with the remaining Malta and cook for an extra hour, or until the pork reaches a temperature of 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Allow to cool and cut into fine slices. Pour the drippings over the meat after slicing the meat. Serve with the Fried Green Plantains, White Rice, and Black Beans.
Preheat oil in a fryer or Dutch oven to 365 degrees F. Peel the plantains and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place into preheated oil and fry for 5 minutes or until they begin to brown. Drain them on a paper-towel lines plate. Flatten them using a Tostonera or the bottom of a metal can and fry again at 385 degrees F for approximately 3 minutes. Drain again and sprinkle with salt and garlic mojo. For softer fried plantains, soak for a few minutes in salted water after the first fry, drain and fry again.
Yield: 8 servings

Far too often, throughout our work in the education field, we've seen even the most earnest and promising ideas from experts and reformers for improving schools and ramping up student learning met with confusion, anxiety or even anger from teachers, parents, students or community members.
A new book from Jean Johnson provides a resource for education leaders on a variety of reform areas, including evaluating teachers, turning around low-performing schools, and building support for world-class standards. You Can't Do It Alone, from Rowman & Littlefield, summarizes a decade of Public Agenda opinion research among teachers, parents, and the public. It offers tips on what leaders can do to more successfully engage these groups in reform areas and integrates a theory of change and public learning developed by our founder Daniel Yankelovich. It also provides some practical rules of the road for promoting the kind of dialogue that leads to consensus and action.
To propel change-and to sustain it-school leaders need to listen thoughtfully to the community, act in ways that alleviate negative response and engage teachers, parents, students and the broader community in the mission of reform.

No. 86,736
1. State v. Hall, 246 Kan. 728, 793 P.2d 737 (1990), is analyzed and applied.
2. The failure to file a motion for arrest of judgment following a conviction under a facially defective complaint is ineffective assistance of counsel, unless counsel had some strategic reason for not filing the motion.
Appeal from Reno District Court; RICHARD J. ROME, judge. Opinion filed January 17, 2003. Reversed and remanded.
Stephen M. Joseph, of Joseph & Hollander, P.A., of Wichita, for the appellant.
Keith E. Schroeder, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for the appellee.
Before BEIER, P.J., PIERRON, J., and PADDOCK, S.J.
PIERRON, J.: Eileen Ferguson appeals the denial of her motion to vacate sentence filed pursuant to K.S.A. 60-1507. Ferguson claims she was denied effective assistance of counsel at the trial where she was convicted of arson. Ferguson contends her counsel was ineffective for failing to request a dismissal or file a motion for arrest of judgment, failing to properly investigate the restaurant's financial condition, and failing to properly investigate the origin of the fire.
The parties are well versed in the facts of this case resulting in Ferguson's conviction for arson involving Sampler's Restaurant. A detailed statement of the facts was set forth in Ferguson's direct appeal (State v. Ferguson, No. 81,677, unpublished opinion filed March 17, 2000, rev. denied 269 Kan. 936 [2000]). In her direct appeal, Ferguson challenged: (1) the jurisdiction under a defective complaint; (2) the jury instructions; (3) the admission of certain evidence; and (4) the sufficiency of the evidence supporting her conviction. We denied all of Ferguson's claims and affirmed her conviction.
After the Kansas Supreme Court denied review, Ferguson filed a K.S.A. 60-1507 motion claiming ineffective assistance of counsel. Ferguson argued her trial counsel, Francis Meisenheimer, should have filed a motion for dismissal under K.S.A. 22-3208 or to arrest judgment under K.S.A. 22-3502 on the ground that the complaint was fatally defective. She also argued Meisenheimer failed to properly investigate the origin of the fire and failed to present expert testimony from an arson investigator. Last, Ferguson argued Meisenheimer failed to properly investigate the financial condition of the restaurant and failed to present expert testimony to support the positive cash flow and profitability of the restaurant.
The trial court conducted a full evidentiary hearing on Ferguson's 60-1507 motion. Ferguson introduced 42 exhibits and 5 witnesses testified. David Mitchell and John Evans testified concerning the financial condition of Sampler's Restaurant. Dr. John DeHaan testified concerning the fire investigation. Jack Focht, an attorney, testified how Meisenheimer's representation fell below the level of reasonable competence. Meisenheimer took the stand to explain his trial tactics and strategies.
In an 18-page decision, the trial court denied Ferguson's 60-1507 motion. The court held Ferguson had failed to show there was a reasonable probability that the result of her trial would have been different but for Meisenheimer's alleged unprofessional conduct. The court stated Ferguson's alleged errors of Meisenheimer's failure to satisfactorily probe the financial condition of Sampler's Restaurant just before the fire and failure to call an arson expert were "just the type of action that the Kansas Supreme Court said 'might be considered sound trial strategy. . . .' State v. Rice, 261 Kan. 567 [, 607, 932 P.2d 981 (1997)]." With regard to Meisenheimer's failure to move for arrest of judgment based on the defective complaint, the court applied the "common sense" test set forth in State v. Hall, 246 Kan. 728, 764-65, 793 P.2d 737 (1990), and decided Ferguson "received the effective assistance of counsel, she was fully aware of the charges against her and was able to provide a defense, could not plead the conviction in any subsequent prosecution, or that the information violated her rights."
The purpose of the effective assistance guarantee of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is to ensure that criminal defendants receive a fair trial. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 689, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674, 104 S. Ct. 2052 (1984).
"Before counsel's assistance is determined to be so defective as to require reversal of a conviction, defendant must establish (1) counsel's performance was deficient, which means counsel made errors so serious that counsel's performance was less than that guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, and (2) the deficient performance prejudiced the defense, which requires showing counsel's errors were so serious they deprived defendant of a fair trial." State v. Hedges, 269 Kan. 895, 913, 8 P.3d 1259 (2000).
Ferguson first contends she was denied effective assistance of counsel because Meisenheimer did not file a timely motion to dismiss under K.S.A. 22-3208(3) or post-conviction motion to arrest judgment under K.S.A. 22-3502. Ferguson argues that Meisenheimer did not "advance some grand defense strategy" for not filing either motion, that he admitted at trial that he thought he waived the objection after the verdict, and that his deficient performance prejudiced her rights.
The complaint in this case was defective. The State does not argue otherwise. Under K.S.A. 21-3718(a)(2), arson is "knowingly, by means of fire or explosive: . . . damaging any building or property with intent to injure or defraud an insurer or lienholder." The complaint failed to allege Ferguson's acts were done "knowingly" and "by means of fire or explosive," which are elements of arson in K.S.A. 21-3718. The Kansas Supreme Court has repeatedly emphasized that the State cannot merely refer to a statute to state the requisite elements of a crime. See, e.g., State v. Jackson, 239 Kan. 463, 466, 721 P.2d 232 (1986). We are bound by those decisions. Here, the complaint clearly failed to state all the elements of the crime of arson.
Ferguson did not challenge the adequacy of the complaint prior to or during the trial and did not file a motion to arrest judgment within 10 days after her conviction. See K.S.A. 22-3502. Generally, a complaint which omits an essential element of a crime is fatally defective, and the trial court lacks jurisdiction to convict the defendant. State v. Waterberry, 248 Kan. 169, 170, 804 P.2d 1000 (1991); Jackson, 239 Kan. 463, Syl. ¶ 5. The court in Hall stated: "A motion for arrest of judgment is the proper procedure for a defendant who wishes to challenge the sufficiency of the information after trial because of either a claim that it did not charge a crime or that the court was without jurisdiction of the crime charged." 246 Kan. at 764.
Defense counsel may file a motion to dismiss under K.S.A. 22-3208(3). However, the State may orally amend an information and file a subsequent journal entry curing the insufficiency of the information. State v. Rasch, 243 Kan. 495, 500, 758 P.2d 214 (1988). Pursuant to K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 22-3201(b) and (e), an information is required to be in writing and may be amended at any time with leave of the court before a verdict or finding "if no additional or different crime is charged and if substantial rights of the defendant are not prejudiced."
With regard to a motion to arrest judgment, in State v. Sweat, 30 Kan. App. 2d ____, 48 P.3d 8, rev. denied 274 Kan. ___ (2002), this court reiterated the technical nature upon which we examine complaints when a timely motion to arrest judgment is filed:
"Because Sweat properly preserved her issue regarding the sufficiency of the complaint through a motion to arrest judgment, the following test controls:
'"In Kansas, all crimes are statutory and the elements necessary to constitute a crime must be gathered wholly from the statute. An information which omits one or more of the essential elements of the crimes it attempts to charge is jurisdictionally and fatally defective, and a conviction based on such an information must be reversed."' State v. Crockett, 26 Kan. App. 2d 202, 205, 987 P.2d 1101 (1999) (quoting State v. Sanford, 250 Kan. 592, 601, 830 P.2d 14 [1992])." Sweat, 30 Kan. App. 2d ____, 48 P.3d 8, 12.
If the trial court lacked jurisdiction over the charge of arson, it would lack jurisdiction to convict Ferguson of arson. Cf. State v. Burns, 23 Kan. App. 2d 352, 362, 931 P.2d 1258, rev. denied 262 Kan. 963 (1997) (charging document gives court jurisdiction to convict defendant of crimes charged or of lesser included crimes thereof). Therefore, if Ferguson's trial counsel would have filed a timely motion to arrest judgment, it should have been granted.
If the defect in the complaint is not raised in a timely fashion, however, a different standard applies. When an untimely challenge is asserted, the complaint will be read as a whole and interpreted to include facts necessarily implied. A complaint will be upheld unless it is so defective that it does not, by any reasonable construction, charge an offense for which the defendant was convicted. In Hall, 246 Kan. at 764, the court announced that when an information is claimed to be defective for the first time on appeal "common sense" would be the guide for determining whether the information was sufficient. Essentially, the defendant must prove the defect in the information prejudiced the defendant's defense, impaired the defendant's ability to plead the conviction in a double jeopardy content, or limited the defendant's substantial rights to a fair trial.
It appears Meisenheimer's performance was less than that guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment when he failed to challenge the trial court's jurisdiction in a timely motion to arrest judgment. There was no strategic justification for foregoing the motion. However, a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is a two-pronged analysis. Because Meisenheimer's performance was deficient, the court must then determine whether Ferguson was prejudiced by Meisenheimer's poor performance. Had a timely motion to arrest judgment been filed, the case would have been evaluated under the pre-Hall standards. Ferguson's defense was prejudiced since a timely motion would have invoked review under the stringent pre-Hall standards. In applying those more stringent standards, the trial court would have been required to arrest the judgment and allow Ferguson a new trial.
If counsel had timely filed a motion to arrest judgment and the motion was granted, the State would have been able to file a new complaint that sufficiently stated the arson charge and then retry Ferguson. See Montana v. Hall, 481 U.S. 400, 95 L. Ed. 2d 354, 107 S. Ct. 1825 (1987) (Montana Supreme Court's vacating of incest conviction as void because it was based on statute not in effect at time of crime did not bar State from retrying defendant on proper sexual assault charge); see also 21 Am. Jur. 2d, Criminal Law § 333 ("jeopardy does not result from conviction under fatally defective indictment since conviction is nullity and court justified on motion of either party or own motion to declare mistrial at any stage of trial).
A troubling aspect of this case is that allowing Ferguson to invoke review under the stringent pre-Hall standards by claiming ineffective assistance of counsel, undermines the Supreme Court's apparent aim in Hall to reduce the number of jurisdictional challenges of this kind raised for the first time on appeal. By allowing a defendant to assert an ineffective assistance of counsel claim and reevaluate the case under the pre-Hall standards, much of the Hall process would be rendered meaningless.
All that would be left to apply Hall to would be the conceptually difficult instance where counsel knew of the jurisdictional problem but deliberately did not file a motion to arrest judgment for some tactical reason. It is difficult to see what valid reason there might be to do that.
In a 60-1507 ineffective assistance of counsel context, the Hall process breaks down. Ferguson either did or did not receive a fair trial, using the common sense approach of Hall, whether or not an arrest of judgment motion was filed. It is difficult to see why there should be a different posttrial procedure depending on the filing of the motion. However, it appears that Hall requires precisely that analysis. On the other hand, it is obvious that in almost every conceivable situation, a competent defense counsel should know when a complaint is facially defective and that such a conviction can be set aside and a new trial obtained by the filing of a motion to arrest judgment.
It was, therefore, obviously below standard for defense counsel to fail to notice an obvious defect and take the necessary steps to obtain a new trial for the defendant.
Because we are reversing on this ground, we need not reach Ferguson's other arguments concerning alleged failures of trial counsel's performance in the presentation of the defense.
Reversed and remanded.

London: When Grigor Dimitrov grasped the Queen's Club trophy after winning the Aegon Championships on Sunday a quick glance at the names engraved on its plinth might have given him goose bumps.
In edging past Spain's Feliciano Lopez in a gripping contest the 23-year-old Bulgarian, long-regarded as a future grand slam champion, etched his name alongside some of the greatest exponents of the grasscourt arts.
John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras all won the traditional Wimbledon warm-up tournament just a few miles away from the All England Club while of the current generation Lleyton Hewitt, Rafa Nadal and Andy Murray have all found the slick lawns to their liking.
While winning at Queen's Club is no guarantee of success at Wimbledon, form at the homely Victorian club next to Baron's Court Underground station has traditionally been a useful barometer for the year's third grand slam tournament.
It proved the perfect Wimbledon tune-up for McEnroe in 1981 and 1984, the blue touch paper for flame-haired teenager Becker to rampage to Wimbledon glory in 1985.
Sampras won at Queen's in 1995 and 1999 before serving and volleying his way to the Wimbledon title while Australian Hewitt did the double in 2002.
Nadal's famous de-throning of Roger Federer at Wimbledon in 2008 was preceded by the title at Queen's while last year Murray triumphed there before ending his country's 77 year-wait for a men's singles champion at the All England Club.
World No.13 Dimitrov, who already has a Wimbledon title to his name, albeit in the boy's singles, seemed well aware of the significance of his 6-7(8) 7-6(1) 7-6(6) win over Lopez - his third title this year, all on different surfaces.
"We're about to find that out in a week," Dimitrov told reporters when asked if he could repeat Murray's double.
"It's always I think special to win that week. To me this tournament in particular has been that tournament I always wanted to win. I remember playing as a teenager here, and ever since I have dreamt about that moment.
"You can feel it in the spirit of the trophy itself. When you lift it, it means something.
"The only thing I can say is I'm going to be with a lot of positive vibes coming out to Wimbledon."
Few doubt that Dimitrov has all the weapons to win Wimbledon - a damaging first serve, the ability to attack off both wings, an ease around the net and ability to improvise.
On Sunday, in saving a match point against the left-handed Spaniard whose game looks tailor-made for grass, he also showed that the mental toughness that was occasionally questioned in the past is now part of his make-up.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that French Open champion Maria Sharapova, his girlfriend, is renowned as being one of the sport's most ferocious fighters.
"Of course I think having Maria on my side definitely adds up, and a tremendous champion like her, there is a lot to learn," Dimitrov said. "But it's still completely different areas in a way, women's tennis and men's tennis.
"But there is certainly a good amount that I have learned throughout so far."
After a few false dawns, Dimitrov began to really assert himself on the men's tour last year, although it was not until October that he finally claimed his first ATP title by beating David Ferrer in Stockholm.
This year he won on hard courts in Acapulco and clay in Bucharest and after claiming the Queen's title on Sunday he said he was now becoming accustomed to title matches, even if he acknowledges he still has big strides to take.
"For some reason I wasn't nervous at all today, which I was a bit scared of that because usually when I'm a little nervous I play some of my best tennis," he said.
"Of course I was focussing on winning the last point, but was all about competing and testing myself on the mental side, which was a little bit more important.
"I'm excited with the progress that I have had so far this year, but my goals are way too high.
"I'm getting to know myself even better. How I'm responding on different surfaces and sort of finding that right formula to be good on every surface."
Whatever his formula, it is working and the notion of Dimitrov becoming the latest member of that select list to win the Queen's-Wimbledon double is not so fanciful.

Automakers called for an economy-wide approach to global warming in reaction to a Supreme Court decision Monday that could give the government the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases from cars.
WASHINGTON -- Automakers called for an economy-wide approach to global warming in reaction to a Supreme Court decision Monday that could give the government the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases from cars.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, an industry trade group representing General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., DaimlerChrysler AG, Toyota Motor Corp. and five others, said in a statement that "there needs to be a national, federal, economy-wide approach to addressing greenhouse gases."
Dave McCurdy, the alliance's president and chief executive, said automakers would work with lawmakers and federal agencies to help develop a national approach.
The auto trade group's comments reflected pledges made in Congress last month by automotive leaders, who said they would work with lawmakers to deal with the challenges of global warming but cautioned that no single industry could bear the burden alone.
The Supreme Court ordered the federal government on Monday to take a fresh look at regulating carbon dioxide emissions from cars, a rebuke to Bush administration policy on global warming. In a 5-4 decision, the court said the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from cars.
Car and truck makers and automobile dealers have said climate change is not fully understood, and new regulations could carry economically significant consequences. Lawyers for the Environmental Protection Agency, in arguments before the court last year, said the new regulations could hurt the economy because 85 percent of the U.S. economy is tied to sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
Michigan, the home of the U.S. auto industry, and eight other states sided with the EPA in its arguments.
Individual automakers said Monday they were reviewing the decision and could not immediately comment.
The Supreme Court decision could greatly affect some global warming-related cases being considered across the nation.
In California, the industry has fought a 2002 law that requires reductions in emissions from cars and light trucks, which would create the world's toughest vehicle-emission standards. Another 10 states that have adopted the stricter California auto standard.
Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Anthony Ishii postponed the trial until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the global warming case.
In the lawsuit, automakers and a California car dealership said the state law is a de facto mandate on fuel economy standards, which can be set only by the federal government. They also said the technology does not exist to meet the California standards and would increase the cost of vehicles.
Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said the high court's ruling would have a positive effect on the state litigation.
"Now you've got the Supreme Court of the U.S. rejecting the arguments that the auto industry is making in the challenge to California," Meyer said.
In Vermont, meanwhile, a federal judge is expected to hear arguments next week concerning new standards in California and several northeastern states requiring car companies to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.

Little scores tiebreaking goal late in third as Winnipeg beats Tampa Bay 2-1NHL.com @NHLdotcom
TAMPA, Fla. - Bryan Little scored a tiebreaking goal late in the third period, Al Montoya made 28 saves, and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday night.
Little slid the puck from in-close past goalie Anders Lindback with 4:08 to play. Winnipeg also got a goal from Eric Tangradi.
The Jets were beaten by the Lightning 8-3 on Feb. 1. This outcome was much different.
Steven Stamkos got his 18th goal this season for the Lightning, who have lost six of seven.
Stamkos tied it at 1 when he skated into the low slot and put a shot past Montoya after taking a pass from Martin St. Louis 6:57 into the third period. St. Louis has five assists and seven points during a five-game points streak.
Tangradi stopped a personal 49-game goal drought dating back to Oct. 15, 2010 against the New York Islanders and put the Jets up 1-0. The centre beat Lindback from the low left circle midway through the first period.
Montoya made a couple of strong saves, including on a left-circle shot by Stamkos, during a 2-minute, 5-on-3 Tampa Bay power play midway through the second period. The Lightning's two-man advantage came after Paul Postma (interference) and Mark Stuart (high-sticking) were both given minor penalties at 7:57.
Winnipeg entered with the NHL's lowest-ranked short-handed unit.
The Jets also failed to score during a 50-second, 5-on-3 late in the second period.
NOTES: Tangradi's goal was also his first point in 16 games. His previous point came on an assist against the New York Rangers on April 5, 2012. ... Tampa Bay LW Ryan Malone returned after missing 13 consecutive games with an undisclosed lower body injury and had an assist. ... Thursday was just the fourth time this season the Jets have had the lead after the first period.

By ,
Published January 13, 2015
A former Indianapolis police officer who killed a man and seriously injured two others when he was driving drunk and crashed his police cruiser into two motorcycles stopped at a traffic light was sentenced Tuesday to 13 years in prison.
David Bisard was convicted last month on nine counts, the most serious of which was driving with a blood-alcohol content above 0.15 percent while in a fatal accident. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08.
He resigned Monday from the police department. He had been suspended without pay since the 2010 crash that killed 30-year-old Eric Wells.
Allen County Superior Judge John Surbeck sentenced Bisard to a total of 16 years in prison but suspended the last three years. Prosecutors had requested a 22-year prison sentence with two years suspended, while Bisard's attorneys asked for 11 to 12 years, with several years suspended.
The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/IfuDwV ) that Bisard told the court that he is "remorseful beyond words" and accepts responsibility for the crash. But he said he would not accept responsibility for being intoxicated.
Bisard did admit he was drunk when he crashed his pickup truck in April 2013 in a separate incident. He said that DUI arrest caused him to lose the trust of his family and friends and made it difficult for people to believe he wasn't drunk at the time of the fatal crash on Aug. 6, 2010.
"I am not the awful man I've been made out to be," he said while reading a statement during the sentencing hearing.
Bisard's attorneys had argued during his trial that his blood test was faulty.
Surbeck criticized Bisard Tuesday for his "blatant denials" about being drunk, the newspaper reported.
Wells' wife, Luisa Montilla, told Surbeck that she and her husband moved to Indiana to build a family and that he planned to go to graduate school.
"I don't have my best friend. I don't have my husband," she said. "I couldn't build my life again. It will never be the same."
Wells' mother asked the judge to give Bisard the maximum sentence.
"My son's freedom was ripped away by David Bisard's actions that day," Mary Wells said. "There is no sentence long enough or punishment severe enough that could possibly compensate for my daily torment."
Bisard's wife, Lora, cried while testifying about how the crash and criminal case affected the couple's two young daughters, saying the family prayed daily for the crash victims and their families. She asked for treatment for her husband rather than long-term prison term.
Mary Mills Weekly survived the crash but said it changed her life forever. She said she had to learn to walk again. She said she is in constant pain and said the medicine she takes diminishes her quality of life.
The case was moved to Fort Wayne in northeastern Indiana because of extensive pretrial publicity in Indianapolis.

The safety audit is an opportunity for new motor carriers to meet with ADOT staff to ensure they have the knowledge and tools needed to comply with federal and state regulations and operate safely. During the safety audit, carriers will work with ADOT staff to review records, understand the safety regulations, and determine if any areas need to be improved to operate in compliance.
The new entrant motor carrier program applies to all new interstate motor carriers for 18 months after registering with the FMCSA and receiving a USDOT identification number.
ADOT conducts safety audits at a carrier's principal place of business.
The safety audit process generally takes two to four hours.
During the safety audit, ADOT staff will review the documentation of the motor-carrier operation, including these items:
If you are a new carrier operating under the authority of another carrier, you do not need to go through the safety audit process with ADOT. However, you still need to inform ADOT of your operating status with the other carrier.
If you are a motor carrier operating only in Arizona, you are considered an intrastate motor carrier and do not need to schedule a safety audit. However, you will need to contact ADOT at 602.712.4388 to make sure you have the correct operating authority under your company's profile.
Failure to show up to a scheduled audit may result in your USDOT number being revoked or your operation placed out of service by FMCSA. If for some reason you are unable to attend your scheduled safety audit, please contact ADOT at 602.712.4388 as soon as possible to reschedule.
To ensure a successful safety audit, make sure you have all the required records organized and well-documented. This will enable ADOT to conduct a thorough review of your motor-carrier operation and make sure you are complying with all of the federal and state regulations.
The safety audit will not result in a safety rating for your motor carrier. This process is an opportunity for you to meet with ADOT staff to review your records and make sure you understand what needs to be done to operate in compliance.
If ADOT staff conducting the audit finds areas of deficiency within your motor-carrier operation, they will make you aware of them so you can take corrective action to ensure compliance in the future.
Once the safety audit is completed, the ADOT staff person sends the information from the audit to the FMCSA for review. If the FMCSA determines that there were enough deficiencies to warrant a failed safety audit, the FMCSA will send the new-entrant carrier a written Notice to Remedy within 45 days. This will include information about the actions that need to be taken in order for the new entrant carrier to keep their USDOT number and continue operations.
After the safety audit is conducted, a carrier will remain on new entrant status for the remainder of the 18 months after receiving a USDOT number. During this 18-month period, the carrier is closely monitored by FMCSA and ADOT to ensure that operations remain in compliance with federal and state regulations.
