The Kennewick Man Debate
July 10, 2019 - Blog
An Exploration of the Kennewick Man Disputes
The Kennewick Man conflict is one of the renowned federal court cases struggling with NAGPRA as well as Anthropological research. The case is actually influential intended for Native People in america, Anthropologists, Archaeologists, and national law creators alike. Though it lasted many years and also endured a very bumpy path, the Kennewick Man instance will function a great model and understanding tool for you to anthropologists more recently, tomorrow, as well as years to come.
Kennewick Man possesses a great value to anthropology and archaeology for different reasons. It really is perhaps the a good number of influential example of how the NAGPRA laws have an effect on anthropologists and also complications that could come with how little clarity within those legal guidelines. Kennewick Dude also has influenced anthropology if it is one of the son and most finish human bone remains in North America, which inturn led to brand-new information on start due to her skull morphology. "As one of the best-preserved " new world " skeletons in the period, the very Kennewick example of beauty has the probability of contribute greatly to this discussion, but it might be reburied in advance of scientists can study them further" ( Slayman, http://www.archaeology.org). The true great importance of the Kennewick man cannot yet always be fully revealed because each of the scientific discoveries have nonetheless to be determined. We can solely hope the fact that the future researching will result in the particular anthropology looking at more solutions that can head us so that you can greater in-depth knowledge of who else we are, how we got the following and how humankind originated.
Kennewick man will be considered any ethical disagreement, when looking at the task from equally a Native American's strict and personal perspective, and even from an anthropological and methodical perspective. The main science homework helper ethical controversy from the view of the Northwest Indian tribes to claim often the remains is always that according to all their understanding of NAGPRA law that they had "cultural affiliation" to the Kennewick Man, getting those tribes responsible for the standard spiritual and also cultural maintenance of those remains – in addition to becoming their house. Vine Deloria, Jr., some sort of professor in the University associated with Colorado in addition to Standing Good ole' Sioux originaire writes on the niche, siding with Indigenous Americans saying that
"Archaeology has always been decided by folks that wave "science" in front of all of us like an inexhaustible credit card, which have deferred to them tutorial believing they can represent the actual discipline within an objective as well as unbiased style. Yet the cutting-edge of a bones in the Colombia River… caused an continuously confused personal injury lawsuit.. and a spade of cases by students that this skeletal frame could spinner the history within the Western Hemisphere. " (Thomas, Page xviii).
Because of their honest standing, the main scientific motive is not necessarily an important point for US Researchers to keep the exact remains. An entire reasoning right behind the NAGPRA laws should have, in their opinion, given them rights towards the remains instructions which would experience in turn prevented the is always from getting studied deeper.
When viewing this as an ethical question through an anthropological perspective, it is about down to the particular scientific great need of being able to study the is always.
"Archaeologist Take advantage of Bonnichsen had been quoted simply because saying: 'There's a whole reserve of information in Kennewick Man's bones. To put him or her back in the surface is like burning a rare e book so we are definately learn very little…. It seems like a case there is a major work to block research inquiry on the study of yank origins' (O'Hagan, 1998: 8). " (Watkins, Page 13)
The results involving further searching the Kennewick Man can make it doable to obtain responses that would help not only often the Native People in the usa of The united states, but humankind as a whole. Anthropology is in elixir the holistic study connected with humankind, and also the nicely preserved components of our past such as the Kennewick man, can certainly most definitely lose new light-weight on starting point theories in addition to lead to breakthroughs of our recent.
NAGPRA may be the Native U . s citizens Grave Safety and Repatriation Act, can be described as law that had been passed via the federal government in 1990 to produce "a progression for museums and Government agencies to return certain Indigenous American ethnical items instant human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and items of personal patrimony – to uniforme descendants, broadly affiliated Native american tribes, and even Native Local organizations. " (www.nps.gov/nagpra). NAGPRA states these cultural pieces will be repatriated to the Originaire Americans as long as they can prove societal affiliation towards the items making an attempt. "Cultural organization is established as soon as the preponderance of your evidence rapid based on geographical, kinship, inbreed, archeological, linguistic, folklore, dental tradition, medieval evidence, or perhaps other information or possibly expert point of view – realistically leads to this sort of conclusion. " (http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/TRAINING/Cultural_Affiliation.pdf)
To be able to attempt at clarifying the enthusiasm of cultural affiliation, particular guidelines have already been set in destination.
"All on the following prerequisites must be realized to determine societal affiliation around a present-day Indian group or Ancient Hawaiian business and the human remains, funerary objects, religious objects, or even objects of cultural patrimony of an previous group:
(1) Existence of each identifiable present-day Indian tribe or Ancient Hawaiian organization with position under these types of regulations and also the Act; and also
(2) Remaindings the existence of a good identifiable previous group. Assist for this need may include, however , is not always limited to information sufficient to help:
(i) Determine the id and ethnic characteristics with the earlier set,
(ii) Data distinct behaviour of material customs manufacture and even distribution methods for the earlier group, or
(iii) Establish the presence of the earlier collection as a biologically distinct human population; and
(3) Evidence of the presence of a discussed group identity that can be fairly traced amongst the present-day Indian native tribe or simply Native Hawaii organization as well as earlier collection. Evidence to help this need must produce that a present-day Indian group or Indigenous Hawaiian business has been recognized from prehistoric or important times to the current as climbing down from the sooner group. " (http://www.nps.gov/nagpra/TRAINING/Cultural_Affiliation.pdf)
From the Kennewick Gentleman controversy, The very U. Nasiums. Army Corps of Engineers was accountable for the land on which the Kennewick Man was basically found, 1st making the dog the property within the U. T. Army Corps of Technical engineers. They had chosen to allow researchers to study the very remains in order to uncover a number of answers on the mystery from the Kennewick Individual. After thru NAGPRA, the very remains ended up ordered to be returned to the local Ancient Americans, the Scientists and also Army Corps decided to should attempt pursue any appeal having NAGPRA. The very U. Beds. Army Corps of Designers where just after involved in a Federal court instance to determine to whom the continues to be should are supposed to be. Since the Kennewick Man was basically discovered own property, the remains evolved into that fed agency's obligations. After the finalized ruling, it had been ordered how the Kennewick gentleman stay property of the Military Corps.
Often the Kennewick discussion involved your US Govt Court instance between the Nw Native United states tribes (the Umatilla, Yakama, Nez Perce, Wanapum in addition to Colville) who else laid state over the Kennewick Mans remains, and the ALL OF US Army Corps of Engineers' Scientists who had been responsible for typically the remains since they were observed on their property or home. The archaeology and natural anthropologists learning the remains argued that substantial relevance of the remains to be could help reply many inquiries of individual immigration right into North America. These scientists ended up the person in the case. Once further learn of the is always the Department of the Indoor and Countrywide Park Service, in co-operation with the Corps of Technicians were able to uncover reasoning for you to disprove exact cultural ligue with the Indigene America Tribes, stating which will NAGPRA law regulations did not affect the Kennewick Man's instance.
The Anthropologists wish to further more study the remains due to the fact that they one of the most well-known, most clearly preserved and complete human continues to be ever found in the American Hemisphere. By just studying often the bones, we're able to find advice to while and how people first approached North America, and even information about the Kennewick Man's passing away, culture along with lifestyle. Often the Native American tribes did not want your man studied because if he was culturally connected with the tribes, they would cause ensuring the actual Kennewick Man's proper burial. Defacing or possibly studying typically the remains would be against most of their religious, spiritual and cultural beliefs.
The main Plaintiff Analysts in the case were being comprised of nine anthropologists as well as archeologists delivered together for any right to learn the stays and stop repatriation.
"The seven plaintiffs within Bonnichsen sixth is v. United States included five actual anthropologists (C. Loring Crutch, Richard Jantz, Douglas Owsley, George Gill, and D. Gentry Steele) and some archeologists (Robson Bonnichsen, Dennis J. Stanford, and Chemical. Vance Haynes Jr. ). Owsley along with Stanford was at the Smithsonian Institution as well as others performed university jobs. " (Oldham, www.historylink.org)
Often the defendant event consisted of the exact five Ancient American tribes claiming ethnical affiliation towards remains and also promoting the repatriation belonging to the Kennewick male. The Oughout. S. Military services Corps with Engineers have been in charge of the main remains, plus along with the Division of the Indoor and Countrywide Park Support furthered the actual studies to look for the origin with the Kennewick Man's ancestry and even lineage for proper organization.

American Baptists Urged to Contact Congress in Defense of Shareholder-Proposal Process
ABCUSA > Latest Features > American Baptists Urged to Contact Congress in Defense of Shareholder-Proposal Process
By Bridget Lipin
VALLEY FORGE, PA (4/25/17)—As a founding member of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) committed to socially responsible investing, American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) urges American Baptists to contact their Congressional representatives by phone or email to request that they defend the right of shareholders to file proposals with companies. Because a House Financial Services Committee hearing will take place tomorrow regarding a bill that would stifle the filing of shareholder proposals, ABHMS requested in writing today that the committee defend the filing of such proposals.
"ABHMS has a strong history of managing its investments in ways that consistently provide strong financial returns. And we've done so while using our voice to influence corporate leaders to broaden their view of risks and consider the social and environmental impacts of corporate decisions," says Michaele Birdsall, ABHMS chief financial officer and treasurer. "The idea that our voice, along with the voices of other investors, would be considered too small to count while efforts are underway to prop up institutions considered 'too big to fail' flies in the face of our democratic and Christian values."
The legislation would prevent most investors from filing shareholder proposals with companies regarding key issues on which they want further action, such as board-governance matters, corporate policies or emerging risks, such as climate change.
Shareholders would need to hold a minimum of 1 percent of the company's outstanding stock for three years to file resolutions. Currently, shareholders holding as little as $2,000 in shares for at least a year can do so. In effect, the nation's largest institutional investors—including the nation's largest public pension funds—would be unable to file shareholder resolutions.
The proposal by House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) would undo a shareholder-proposal process that has been in place for a half century. The proposal is part of a larger bill aimed at replacing the Dodd-Frank Act.
ICCR is a 46 year-old, pioneer coalition of more than 300 organizational investors representing faith-based communities, socially responsible asset managers, labor unions and others who engage corporations on the environmental and social impacts of their operations.
American Baptist Home Mission Societies partners with American Baptists to promote Christian faith, cultivate Christ-centered leaders and disciples, and bring healing and transformation to communities across the United States and Puerto Rico.
American Baptist Churches USA is one of the most diverse Christian denominations today, with approximately 5,000 congregations comprised of 1.3 million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged in God's mission around the world.

The Journey: Let's go camping.
We had this week off, before going to MAF, so when the forecast showed +20°C temps for the next few days I hooked up the pop-up camper (photo) and we were off. The first camping trip of 2011! It wasn't a long way away, it wasn't a really picturesque campsite but it was open before the May long weekend so we took it. And to be honest...it was perfect.
A few weeks ago, when the snow was beginning to melt, Kaitlyn first asked when we could use the camper and she hasn't let up since. We needed this too. I'm just off almost 2 years of work at the airport and we face a turn in the road in an entirely new direction. This was the much needed calm before the storm.
That's it...there's no deeper level...just plain old camping with the family. Although I suspect it'll mean more than that to Kaitlyn and Lily in about 20 years.

Q: Parallel fitting of multiple Keras Models on single GPU
I'm trying to fit multiple small Keras models in parallel on a single GPU. Because of reasons i need to get them out of a list and train them one step at a time. Since I was not lucky with the standard multiprocessing module i use pathos.
What I tried to do is something like this:
from pathos.multiprocessing import ProcessPool as Pool
import tensorflow as tf
import keras.backend as K

def multiprocess_step(self, model):
    K.set_session(sess)
    with sess.graph.as_default():
        model = step(model, sess)
        return model

def step(model, sess):
    K.set_session(sess)
    with sess.graph.as_default():
        model.fit(x=data['X_train'], y=data['y_train'],
               batch_size=batch_size
               validation_data=(data['X_test'], data['y_test']),
               verbose=verbose,
               shuffle=True,
               initial_epoch=self.step_num - 1)
        return model

config = tf.ConfigProto()
config.gpu_options.allow_growth = True
config.gpu_options.visible_device_list = "0"
sess = tf.Session(config=config)

K.set_session(sess)
with sess.graph.as_default():
    pool = Pool(8).map
    model_list = pool(multiprocess_step, model_list)

but whatever I try I keep getting an error claiming that the models dont seem to be on the same graph...
ValueError: Tensor("training/RMSprop/Variable:0", shape=(25, 352), dtype=float32_ref) must be from the same graph as Tensor("RMSprop/rho/read:0", shape=(), dtype=float32).
The exception originates in the model.fit() row so I must have done something wrong with the assignment of the session graph even though I tried to set that in every possible location?
Does anyone have experience with something similar?

A: Considering the backend is set to tensorflow for the keras. you can use code and do parallel processing for multiple model invocation/ multiple model loading.
def model1(dir_model):
    model = os.path.join(dir_model, 'model.json')
    dir_weights = os.path.join(dir_model, 'model.h5')
    graph1 = Graph()
    with graph1.as_default():
        session1 = Session(graph=graph1, config=config)
        with session1.as_default():
            with open(model, 'r') as data:
                model_json = data.read()
            model_1 = model_from_json(model_json)
            model_1.load_weights(dir_weights)
    return model_1,gap_weights,session1,graph1

def model_2(dir_model):
    model = os.path.join(dir_model, 'model.json')
    dir_weights = os.path.join(dir_model, 'model.h5')
    graph2 = Graph()
    with graph2.as_default():
        session2 = Session(graph=graph2, config=config)
        with session2.as_default():
            with open(model, 'r') as data:
                model_json = data.read()
            model_2 = model_from_json(model_json)
            model_2.load_weights(dir_weights)
    return model_2,session2,graph2

and for invocation of the specific model do the following experiments.
for model 1 predict do the following
K.set_session(session2)
with graph2.as_default():
     img_pred[img_name] =
patch_dict[np.argmax(np.squeeze(model_2.predict(img_invoke)))

and for the model 2 it follows same as
K.set_session(session2)
with graph2.as_default():
     img_pred[img_name] =
patch_dict[np.argmax(np.squeeze(model_2.predict(img_invoke)))]

A: The following was suggested on the Keras issue tracker. I'm not sure about the relative merits of the approach compared to using multiprocessing.
in_1 = Input()
lstm_1 = LSTM(...)(in_1)
out_1 = Dense(...)(lstm_1)

in_2 = Input()
lstm_2 = LSTM(...)(in_2)
out_2 = Dense(...)(lstm_2)

model_1 = Model(input=in_1, output=out_1)
model_2 = Model(input=in_2, output=out_2)

model = Model(input = [in_1, in_2], output = [out_1, out_2])
model.compile(...)
model.fit(...)

model_1.predict(...)
model_2.predict(...)

'Historic' Cyprus peace to resume in Geneva
NICOSIA /GENEVA
The two leaders of the eastern Mediterranean island Cyprus will resume United Nations-brokered peace talks in Geneva on Jan. 9 amid suggestions by the new U.N. chief the meeting represents a "historic opportunity" to end a decades-long conflict on the island even though the outcome is far from certain.
Turkish Cypriot President Mustafa Akıncı and his Greek Cypriot counterpart, Nicos Anastasiades, will meet once again in Geneva on Jan. 9 after two rounds of peace talks in the same Swiss resort ended without producing a result in late November 2016.
After the Jan. 9 meeting in Geneva, they will meet again on Jan. 11 when they will present their respective maps for the internal boundaries of a future federation.
From Jan. 12, a five-party conference on Cyprus is scheduled to be convened with the added participation of the guarantor powers of Turkey, Greece and Britain.
While the schedule for the peace talks is set and the United Nations has regarded these negotiations as a "historic opportunity," it is not clear what will emerge from the talks as no deadline or concrete target has been proposed for the end of the talks despite the ultimate aim of reaching a peaceful solution to end the more than 40-year-old conflict.
'Decisive phase'
The U.N.'s new secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, who will chair the talks, believes there is "a historic opportunity" for a breakthrough in the upcoming negotiations, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Jan. 6.
"We're at a very decisive phase in the Cyprus peace talks," Dujarric said, according to The Associated Press. "At this point it's really about being supportive of the process and seeing how the parties can finally bridge the final gaps."
"It is a real possibility that 2017 will be the year when the Cypriots, themselves, freely decide to turn the page of history," United Nations envoy Espen Barth Eide also said in a New Year's message.
Erdoğan talks to Guterres, May
Guterres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan agreed during a phone conversation on Jan. 7 that the coming talks in Geneva could be an important opportunity to reach a settlement, Anadolu Agency cited Turkish presidential sources as saying.
Erdoğan also talked on the phone with Theresa May, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, which is one of the three guarantor states of the island, on Jan. 7, during which the two leaders "agreed that the Geneva meeting was a real opportunity to secure a better future for Cyprus and to guarantee stability in the wider region," a Downing Street statement read.
The island has been divided into two states, a Turkish Cypriot administration in the north and a Greek Cypriot administration in the south, since Turkey intervened in the northern part of the island on 1974 following a coup aimed at unification with Greece.
'Last framework of chance,' says Turkish FM
Speaking after meeting Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias in New York on Jan. 6, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said these talks were the last "framework of chance" to end the division of the island.
"I hope that both the Greek Cypriot and the Greek sides will be in the same understanding [of reaching a bi-zonal, fair and long-lasting solution like us] and that we will achieve a result from the conference that will start on Jan. 12," state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Çavuşoğlu as saying.
"We do not want this opportunity to be missed," he added.
Çavuşoğlu met Guterres on Jan. 5 in New York, during which the two parties not only discussed the Cyprus issue but also the Syrian crisis and the planned Astana talks for a cease-fire plan for Syria.
Çavuşoğlu also met Eide on Jan. 6 in New York.
If a final agreement is reached for Cyprus, it will be put before both of the island's communities in a referendum that Akıncı has previously said could be staged by mid-2017 if all goes well at the Geneva talks.
A U.N.-brokered peace deal, known as the Annan Plan, was approved by Turkish Cypriots in 2004 but rejected by Greek Cypriot voters.

Anthology of Song Festivals
Opening permanent exhibition
Concert day of combined song festivals
Song festival joint concert '1869. 2019'
The celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Estonian Song Festival begin in Tartu at 18:69 (which is to say 19:09) on 20 June, with a special concert in a special place – the Estonian Song Festival church, which is currently being restored. At the exact same place where the song festival began with the final rehearsal, with everyone feeling exhilarated yet anxious 150 years ago in June 1869.
The joint festive concert of the 2019 Tartu Song Festival and the XXVII Song Celebration sees performances by the Estonian National Male Choir and the Academic Women's Choir of the University of Tartu at St Mary's Church in Tartu. The concert's repertoire will step back in time 150 years before returning to the present with music written in 2019 especially for the 150th anniversary of the Estonian Song Festival tradition in Tartu.
The programme includes Kunileid, Klein, Brenner, Mozart, Pacius, Stuntz, Kallivoda, Abt, Lvov, Amor and Unt.
Part of the concert will be a performance of Jüri Reinvere's new piece 'Mu isamaa. Mu õnn ja rõõm.' ('My fatherland. My joy and happiness.') which was created especially for the 150th anniversary of the Estonian Song Festival tradition in Tartu. The piece was inspired by many important events, such as the performance of Friedrich Pacius and Johann Voldemar Jannsen's Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm at the first song festival, as well as said festival coming to form the basis of the notion of Estonian identity as European, largely so due to a speech made by Jakob Hurt. This and the necessity and pain of defending the homeland and the ability to be happy directly influenced Jüri Reinvere's composing of the piece in early spring 2019.
The performance of the piece, written for a mixed choir, a soloist and strings, will include mezzo soprano Kai Rüütel and Vanemuine Symphony Orchestra.
The conductors for the joint concert will be Triin Koch, Mikk Üleoja and Kaspar Mänd with actor Riho Kütsar as the compere of the concert.
See you at the song festival church – the place where a tradition that continues to bring the nation together started over 150 years ago.
Tickets available in Piletilevi.

Bossier's Chris Williams, Airline's Chase Rivers, Louisiana New Tech @ Plain Dealing players.
Bo Meeks has experienced the opening night of the high school football season as both a player at Ruston High and as a head coach at Calvary Baptist and Airline.
Tonight, he'll begin his third season as head coach of the Vikings when Airline hosts the Bossier Bearkats.
Meeks said the anticipation of a new season has changed some from his playing days, but one thing remains the same.
The Airline-Bossier game is one of five openers involving Bossier Parish schools. Elsewhere, Parkway hosts Calvary Baptist, Haughton hosts Woodlawn, Benton visits Sterlington and Louisiana New Tech at Plain Dealing hosts Green Oaks.
Of course, it's not just opening night for the players and coaches. The bands, cheerleaders, dance lines, student sections, announcers and fans all combine to make high school football the spectacle it is.
Airline senior Chase Rivers, who will make his debut as the Vikings starting quarterback tonight, said the excitement has been building around the school this week.
Rivers is glad the offseason is history.
"Everybody works for Friday football, and we're just glad to finally get the season on the road and get the offseason behind us," he said.
Like Meeks, Parkway defensive coordinator Neil May has been a part of many opening nights as a player and a coach. He played his high school ball at Evangel.
"I get just as excited as the kids for the first game," he said. "Even though it's our team against the other team, I always personally feel like I am competing against the opposing offensive coordinator. Who prepared their unit better?
As usual, there is no lack of storylines this season.
Parkway quarterback Brandon Harris generated a lot of excitement in the offseason with his recruitment and subsequent commitment to LSU.
The Panthers, ranked No. 7 in the LSWA preseason Class 5A poll, haven't hidden the fact that their goal is to win a state championship. They will get an early test tonight against a Calvary team ranked No. 1 in Class 2A in what is perhaps the most intriguing opener.
Benton will take the field with a new head coach in Reynolds Moore, who took over last March after four years at Bolton High in Alexandria.
The Tigers have ditched their traditional Wing-T run-oriented offense and installed the wide-open spread. Just how wide open was in evidence in the jamboree when quarterback Jordan Shaffer attempted 33 passes. Shaffer attempted just 62 all of last season.
Airline has one of the top defensive players in the state in lineman OJ Smith, an Alabama commitment. With several starters returning, defense is expected to be the Vikings' strong suit early. But Rivers and the offense showed much potential in the jamboree.
Haughton will look to continue its winning ways under head coach Rodney Guin, who became the school's all-time winningest coach last season. Like Airline, the Bucs have a new quarterback in Will Haines. Twins Jarred and Jerrod Craft are back for their final season. Jarred, a Louisiana Tech commitment, was the parish's second-leading rusher last season. Jerrod is a standout defensive back and a capable receiver.
Bossier has a lot of new faces on both sides of the ball, but you can bet coach Michael Concilio will have his team ready to play. The Bearkats have won back-to-back District 1-3A titles.
Louisiana New Tech at Plain Dealing will be looking for its third successful season under head coach Coy Brotherton. But the Lions lost many of the players who made the first two successful to graduation. Senior wide receiver Tray Harris, a Grambling State commitment, should be a playmaker.
Of course, the biggest storyline statewide this season is the change in the playoffs format. Last January, the LHSAA approved a plan to divide the organization into "select" and "non-select" schools just for the playoffs.
"Select" schools are private schools and magnets with a selective admission process. "Non-select" schools are traditional public schools.
Five state champions will be crowned in "non-select" Classes 5A-1A in December at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome along with four "select" champions in Divisions I-IV.
During the season, though, "select" and "non-select" schools will compete against each other for district championship honors.
The playoffs are still 10 weeks away, but the road to the Superdome begins tonight.

Lafayette Ballot Question 2C: Initiative and…
Lafayette Ballot Question 2C: Initiative and referendum process amendment
By Colorado Hometown Weekly |
PUBLISHED: October 10, 2019 at 6:00 a.m. | UPDATED: October 12, 2019 at 2:41 p.m.
What it asks: "Shall the initiative and referendum procedures in Chapter VII of the Lafayette Home Rule Charter be amended to provide that State laws regarding municipal initiative and referendum procedures shall apply to city initiatives and referenda, while retaining existing Charter provisions regarding the minimum number of signatures required to be submitted with an initiative or referendum petition?"
What it means: Lafayette's rules governing municipal and referendum procedures would be brought into line with state laws, while the number of signatures required to be submitted with an initiative referendum petition would not change. Lafayette's requirements are that an initiative petition must have signatures from at least 10% of the people who were registered electors at the date the petition was legally noticed. To trigger a referendum, there must be signatures from at least 10% of the number of people who were registered electors as of the date of the final publication of that ordinance.
What supporters say: Because Lafayette coordinates its elections with state elections, it makes sense to update its Home Rule Charter as it applies to elections so the city and state are aligned, so the city's elections run as smoothly as possible. Also, if the state were to change its minimum requirements for initiative and referendum signatures, the city's requirements would remain in place.
What opponents say: There is no known opposition.

2. ID.; ID.; CHANGE OF PLEA. — A defendant in a criminal case has a right to withdraw his plea of guilty or not guilty and to interpose another, even after the trial has commenced.
3. ID.; APPEAL; RETRIAL UPON THE RECORD BY THE SUPREME COURT. — The Supreme Court may retry a criminal case upon the record, determining both questions of law and fact and may modify or reverse the judgment accordingly. But if the case be one where a fatal error was committed during the progress of the trial and where the trial was not completed on account of such error, the record will not permit of a retrial on the merits.
4. ID.; ID.; ID.; FORMER JEOPARDY. — Where the accused is found guilty of a felony and upon appeal the record will not permit of a retrial of the case upon the merits, the judgment will be set aside and a new trial ordered. Such new trial does not amount to placing the accused in jeopardy the second time for the same offense within the meaning of the double jeopardy provisions in the Philippine Bill.
TRENT, J. :
This is an appeal from a judgment condemning the defendant, Gregorio T. Gimenez, to six years and one day of prison mayor, to the accessory penalties provided by law, and to the payment of the costs of the cause for the crime of bigamy (illegal marriage).
Upon arraignment, the defendant entered a plead of "not guilty" and the case proceeded to trial. After presenting three witnesses for the prosecution, the trial was suspended until the following day, when, upon the reconvening of the court, counsel for the defendant made this statement:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"LIONGSON. Since conferring with the defendant he wishes to withdraw his plea to the complaint of 'not guilty' and to substitute therefor that of 'guilty.'
"The COURT. Enter in the record that the attorney for the defense request to withdraw the plea of 'not guilty' entered by the defendant, and the substitution therefor of the plea of 'guilty.'"
Forthwith, the court rendered the following judgment:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"Gregorio Gimenez having pleaded guilty to the crime of illegal marriage, provided for and penalized by article 471 of the Penal Code, the court sentences him to six years and one day of prision mayor, with the accessories of article 61, and to the payment of the costs."cralaw virtua1aw library
Although the language used by counsel and the court, above quoted, may not definitely show that the plea of not guilty was actually withdrawn and the plea of guilty substituted therefor, yet all admit that this was, in fact, done by counsel, notwithstanding the charge is for a felony.
The principal question raised on this appeal relates to the legality of the conviction of the defendant on a plea of guilty entered by his counsel.
The statutory law touching the question under consideration may be briefly states as follows: If the charge against the accused in a criminal case is for a felony, he must be personally present at the arraignment and pronouncement of judgment if convicted; but if for a misdemeanor, he may appear by counsel and the judgment may be pronounced in his absence. (General Orders No. 58, secs. 16 and 41.) The arraignment shall consist in reading the complaint or information to the defendant and asking him whether he pleads guilty as charged. (Id., sec. 18.) "A plea of guilty can be put in only by the defendant himself in open court." (Id., sec. 25.)
It is well settled in this jurisdiction that a defendant in a criminal case, although the charge be a felony, has a right to withdraw his plea of guilty or not guilty and to interpose another even after the trial has commenced. (U. S. v. Sakay, 8 Phil. Rep., 255.) That the defendant in the instant case could have personally withdrawn his plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty there can be no doubt.
From the above mentioned provisions of General Orders No. 58 it will be seen that there is a clear distinction, with reference to pleas, between misdemeanors and felonies. In the former the accused need not appear personally at all, but if the crime charged be the latter, "A plea of guilty can be put in only by the defendant himself in open court." Stronger and clearer language could not have been used. Only, as thus used, is clearly restrictive and excludes, as clearly as language can, the idea that someone else can enter the plea of guilty for an accused person charged with a felony. Only, coupled with the words "the defendant himself," has the effect of absolutely prohibiting any other person from entering such a plea. If a plea of guilty be entered by another person, where the charge is that of a felony, although such person may be the counsel for the accused, it is a nullity and no conviction can rest thereon.
Section 1018 of the Penal Code of California provides that:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"A plea of guilty can be put in by the defendant himself only in open court, unless upon indictment or information against a corporation, in which case it may be put in by counsel."cralaw virtua1aw library
In the note to section 1017, wherein section 1018 is cited, it is said: The requirement of the law that defendant must plead personally cannot be cured by the fact that he was brought into court and tried without objection. (People v. Monaghan, 102 Cal., 229.) In all cases amounting to a felony the defendant must plead in person. (People v. Corbett, 28 Cal., 328.) A plea by his attorney for him is a nullity. (McQuillen v. State, 8 Smedes & M., 587; Younger v. State, 2 W. Va., 579; 98 Am. Dec., 791.) In cases of misdemeanor the defendant may plead in person or by attorney. (People v. Ebner, 23 Cal., 158.)
We, therefore, conclude that the judgment appealed form must be set aside and a new trial awarded to the defendant, unless it is necessary under the law to discharge or acquit him, as claimed by his counsel, on the ground that he cannot be again put upon his trial for the same offense.
At the time the plea of guilty was substituted for that of not guilty, legal jeopardy, within the meaning of that portion of the fifth section of the Philippine Bill providing that "no person for the same offense shall be twice put in jeopardy of punishment," had attached, if this provision covers the case under consideration wherein we have just annulled the judgment at the request of the accused. (U.S. v. Ballentine, 4 Phil. Rep., 672, 673.) And the defendant can avail himself of the once-in-jeopardy clause as a bar to a new trial of the offense for which he was convicted, provided he did not waive his right to this plea in seeking and obtaining a reversal of the judgment.
In determining whether legal jeopardy had attached and, if so, whether the defendant waived the rights and benefits resulting therefrom by reason of the reversal of the judgment upon his own appeal, it is necessary to note the appellate power and jurisdiction of this court in hearing and determining criminal cases. Appeals in such cases are perfected by the defendant by filing with the clerk of the Court of First Instance, or with such court, a notice stating the appeal and by serving a copy thereof upon the adverse party. This operates as a supersedeas and requires the clerk or judge to transmit to the Clerk of the Supreme Court the complete record in the case, together with the notice of the appeal. When the case is regularly submitted to this Court on appeal, if it be one originating in the Court of First Instance, this Court proceeds to review the record and in the event that of any reason it cannot affirm the judgment entered in the court below, it may then retry the case upon the record, determining both questions of law and fact, and on the findings of fact thus made, modify or reverse the judgment accordingly, thereby entering a new judgment convicting or acquitting the appellant as the case may be, or it may reopen the trial, as provided in section 42 of General Orders No. 58, and grant a new hearing. The new hearing shall take place in the court of original jurisdiction. This Court may also order a new trial in case the record or any material part of it has been lost or destroyed through no fault on the part of the officers of the Government. In the cases just mentioned, where new trials are thus granted, the defendant may be retried upon the same charge without violating the once-in-jeopardy clause above quoted. (U.S. v. Sunga and Bautista, 11 Phil. Rep., 601; U.S. v. Laguna, 17 Phil. Rep., 532.)
The reviewing courts, both State and Federal, in the United States determine, as a general rule, only questions of law, where the appellant is convicted of a felony, and if a reversable error is committed, the case is returned for a new trial. Some of the appellate courts in that country will also grant new trials if the verdict of guilty has no evidence to support it or is flagrantly contrary to the evidence.
The state courts, however, are not in harmony upon the question as to the limits of new trials thus granted or ordered. Some hold that where the accused has been acquitted in the first instance of the greater offense charged in the indictment, but convicted of the lesser offense included therein, he can be tried for the lesser offense only, while others hold that upon a new trial the whole case is open as if there had been no former trial at all.
The courts which limit the new trial proceed upon the ground that the accused by appealing waives his constitutional protection as to double jeopardy, but such waiver goes no further than the accused himself extends if and as he asked for so much of the judgment as convicts him of guilt and does not ask for a reversal of so much of it as acquits him, he waives his privilege as to the one and keeps it as to the other. While on the other hand, the courts holding that a new trial is not so limited are of the opinion that in appealing from the judgment the accused necessarily appeals from the whole thereof, as well that which acquits as that which condemns; that the judgment is one entire thing; and that, as he brings up the whole record for review, he thereby waives the provisions of the once-in-jeopardy clause for the purpose of attempting to gain what he thinks is a greater benefit, viz., a review and reversal by the higher court of a judgment of conviction. Or in other, words, when at his own request an accused has obtained a new trial, he must take the burden with the benefit and go back for a new trial of the whole case. The latter views, as to the extent of the waiver, is supported by the Supreme Court of the United States. (Trono v. U.S., 11 Phil. Rep., 726; 199 U. S., 521.)
In this jurisdiction we may, as we have said, retry the case upon the record and, if the record will permit, pronounce a final verdict of guilty or not guilty and render judgment accordingly, while in cases arising in the United States proper the case is returned to the lower court for final disposition, generally for a new trial. But, if the case be like the one under consideration, where a fatal error was committed during the progress of the trial and where the trial was not completed on account of such error, the record will not permit a retrial in this court upon the merits and a judgment of conviction or acquittal finally disposing of the case. Whether we take the view upon the limits of the waiver as to the once-in-jeopardy provision, as indicated in Trono v. U. S., supra, or whether we accept the view also expressed in that case by the Supreme Court of the United States to the effect that "the constitutional provision (as to double jeopardy) was really never intended to, and, properly construed, does not cover the case of a judgment under these circumstances, which has been annulled by the court at the request of the accused, and there is, therefore, no necessity of relying upon the waiver, because the correct construction of the provision does not make it applicable," the result is the same. We must follow the holding of the Supreme Court of the United States upon these questions.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment appealed from is set aside and the record will be returned to the Court of First Instance, whence it came, for a new trial upon the same charge. So ordered.
Arellano, C.J., Torres. Johnson and Carson, JJ., concur.
Moreland, J., concurs in the result.


NORTH BERWICK, Maine � Marshwood High School�s Nate Curtis has fond memories of Noble�s John W. Sullivan Baseball Field.
That�s where he made his initial varsity start two years ago and earned his first career victory. Now a senior, the right-hander returned to the same mound Thursday and pitched another gem in the Hawks� 3-1 win over the Knights.
In going the distance, Curtis allowed just two hits and one unearned run. He struck out seven, walked one and hit a batter. He retired 15 of the last 16 batters he faced, including 11 straight during one stretch.
Curtis outdueled Noble�s Jake Lacroix, who held Marshwood to one run over the first five innings until the Hawks scored twice in the sixth to break a 1-all deadlock.
Lacroix, who also pitched a complete game, was helped by a defense that cut down a runner on the bases to end each of the first four innings.
Max Horton was the offensive star for Marshwood (7-4), which has won two straight and four of five. The third baseman went 3 for 3, scored twice and singled home the go-ahead run in the sixth.
Horton was also ready to take over on the mound should Curtis falter in the seventh, but Curtis was determined to finish what he started. He retired the side in order, getting the first two on called third strikes and the third on an infield grounder to end the game.
Curtis was at 84 pitches after six innings.
Curtis also drove in the game�s first run in the first inning. Horton singled to left with two down, stole second and rode home on Curtis�s base hit to left.
Noble (6-5) pulled even in the third with an unearned run. Colby Johnson reached on an error, took second on a wild pitch and scored when Curtis threw wildly past first after fielding Owen Podolec�s bunt down the first baseline.
The score stayed 1-1 until the sixth when Trevor Chase led off with an infield hit to shortstop to ignite the winning rally. He stole second and scored on Horton�s single to left.
Horton also swiped second base. He tagged up and took third on Curtis�s fly ball out to center and scored on Connor Caverly�s sacrifice fly to right that was caught in foul territory.
Noble�s Will Shapleigh had the only clean hit off Curtis, a two-out double to right-center in the sixth. Podolec�s bunt was the only other safety.
Jay Lyman had two hits for Marshwood. It was a good bounce-back outing for Curtis, who gave up five runs in the first inning of his previous start against Scarborough.

In an unprecedented security breach, a camera got past security at the U.S. Supreme Court. The footage, which appears to have been taken on two separate occasions, was uploaded to YouTube. It shows a protester speaking against the Citizen's United decision on campaign finance, and him being forcibly removed by security. WSJ's Jason Bellini reports.
Kids want to know why everything is the way it is. Anyone who has been around a child is aware of the string of questions that follow each other in an attempt to constantly learn. We can't let this part of ourselves fade away. Curiosity, learning and understanding are literally the lifeblood of both individual and societal progress. There is so much left for our species to learn about our own psychology, our planet, and especially our universe — that an unquenchable desire for ongoing knowledge is the key to improvement. The moment we stop learning is the moment we stop growing.
When a child runs, tries to ride a bike or throws a ball — and fails — they get up and do it again. It may be out of frustration or determination, but they don't stop at the sign of failure — and neither should we. The recent story of Brian Acton, founder of WhatsApp, is a fantastic example of this. In 2009, Brian applied for a job at Facebook and was turned down. On February 19, 2014, Facebook bought Brian's company for a staggering $19 billion. Had Brian allowed his previous setback to discourage him or cause him to change direction in life, this may not have happened. He used his "failure" as fuel to create an infinitely bigger success — a lesson we can all learn from.
