Journal of Prison Legislation & Criminology is a pupil-run publication at Northwestern University College of Legislation that prints four issues annually and rests upon a century of scholarship devoted to the scientific examine of prison regulation and criminology. Article 48. The demise penalty is just to be applied to legal parts who commit essentially the most heinous crimes. Within the case of a prison ingredient who ought to be sentenced to loss of life, if instant execution shouldn't be important, a two-12 months suspension of execution could also be announced at the identical time the sentence of loss of life is imposed.
This course addresses sentencing law. It begins by treating the philosophical, jurisprudential and political considerations which ought to information sentencing after which examines current New Jersey and federal sentencing pointers and practices, with an emphasis on the position of the prosecutor or defense lawyer at sentencing.

The Sumerian folks from what's now Iraq produced the earliest known instance of a written set of prison laws. In deciding whether or not a statute is sufficiently sure and plain, the courtroom must evaluate it from the standpoint of an individual of atypical intelligence who is perhaps topic to its phrases. A statute that fails to provide such a person honest notice that the particular conduct is forbidden is indefinite and therefore void. Courts won't hold a person criminally responsible for conduct that could not moderately be understood to be illegal. However, mere difficulty in understanding the that means of the words used, or the Ambiguity of certain language, will not nullify a statute for vagueness.
There are two major classifications of law. This four-volume set provides particular definitions of current and rising varieties of crimes; discusses distinctions of various defenses, offers exact; structural evaluation of every primary criminal law principle; illustrates provisions of the American Law Institute's Mannequin Penal Code; and gives citations to major and secondary sources regarding a case.

The United Kingdom Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA) is a non-profit organisation which actively develops clinical pharmacy practice in medicines management.

History
The organisation was founded in Leicester in 1981 in response to a need to drive clinical pharmacy practice forward in the UK. The organisation is currently focused to support and encourage excellence, leadership and partnership within clinical pharmacy.

Functions
The UKCPA supports pharmacy practitioners to develop and deliver clinical pharmacy.

The organisation provides the infrastructure to enable pharmacy practitioner peers to deliver professional education and training across a diverse range of practice interest areas (e.g. infection management, anticoagulation, diabetes/endocrinology, pain management, GP practice, critical care, etc).  The UKCPA is organised to build and support communities of practice around interest areas - practitioners can talk to each other on a daily basis in order to solve individual clinical problems or create systems, methods and guidelines to deal with clinical scenarios on a local, regional or even national basis.

The UKCPA holds education and training events throughout the UK. The content is provided by coal face clinical practitioners and targeted at various levels of practice, from beginners to expert. The events are accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.  Peer-reviewed research posters are displayed at annual conference.

The UKCPA draws on its membership to provide expertise on the use of medicines to national organisations such as NICE, the Department of Health the MHRA, and other professional organisations.

Expert members are involved in developing professional curricula for workforce development, developing assessment of advanced practice, and are assessors for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Faculty. The UKCPA is a partner of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, the professional body for the pharmacy profession in England, Wales and Scotland.

The UKCPA provides a research grant to support its members to develop their research skills. This grant is provided in partnership with Pharmacy Research UK.

Membership
The UKCPA currently has more than 2,500 members in the UK and overseas from all areas of the profession including hospital, community, academia, and industry, as well as pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working at the interface between primary and secondary care.

Structure
The UKCPA is largely run by volunteers – the practitioners themselves. Most UKCPA officers (chair, vice-chair and treasurer) are working pharmacy practitioners. The general secretary and general manager are employed by UKCPA. The general committee makes strategic and financial decisions on behalf of the membership. The business management group makes executive decisions and approves expenditure in consultation with the general committee.

The UKCPA head office is in Leicester where the general manager and administrative team are based.

Dyscia conspersaria ist ein Schmetterling (Nachtfalter) aus der Familie der Spanner (Geometridae).

Merkmale

Falter
Die Flügelspannweite der Falter beträgt 28 bis 33 Millimeter. Die Flügel sind in der Grundfarbe weißlich, ockerfarben oder gelblich. Auf der gesamten Flügeloberfläche sind zuweilen sehr kleine schwarze Punkte staubartig eingestreut. Die Intensität der Färbung kann regional variieren. Die äußere Querlinie auf den Vorderflügeln wird aus kurzen v-förmigen Zeichen oder dunklen Punkten gebildet und ist zumeist leicht unterbrochen. Die innere Querlinie ähnelt der äußeren, ist oft jedoch nur schwach angedeutet. Ebenso verhält es sich mit dem dunklen Mittelpunkt. Der Bereich zwischen den Querlinien ist zuweilen verdunkelt. Auf den etwas heller gefärbten Hinterflügeln setzt sich die dunkle äußere Querlinie der Vorderflügel fort. Auch hier ist der Mittelpunkt oft undeutlich. Die Fühler der Männchen sind beidseitig mit kurzen Kammzähnen versehen, diejenigen der Weibchen sind sägezahnartig.

Raupe und Puppe
Erwachsene Raupen sind von rotgrauer Farbe und besitzen am Rücken des elften Segments ein spitzes Horn sowie an den Nachschiebern nach rückwärts gerichtete, horizontale, kurze Fortsätze.

Die braune Puppe ist gedrungen und besitzt einen kegelförmigen Kremaster mit einigen Hakenborsten.

Ähnliche Arten
Dyscia conspersaria ähnelt weiteren Dyscia-Arten, insbesondere der etwas kleineren und blasseren Dyscia raunaria. Aufgrund der farblichen Variabilität der Arten sollte zur sicheren Bestimmung jedoch eine genitalmorphologische Untersuchung durchgeführt werden.

Verbreitung und Lebensraum
Die Art kommt überwiegend im südöstlichen Mitteleuropa und in Kleinasien vor. Im deutschsprachigen Raum wurde sie lokal in Österreich nachgewiesen. In Frankreich ist die ssp. Drysia conspersaria turturaria, in Kleinasien die ssp. Drysia conspersaria sultanica vertreten. Der Lebensraum der Art umfasst Gebüschfluren, trockene Berghänge und Trockenrasenflächen.

Lebensweise
Dyscia conspersaria bildet eine Generation pro Jahr, deren Falter von Mai bis Juli anzutreffen sind. Sie sind zuweilen tagaktiv und erscheinen nachts auch an künstlichen Lichtquellen. Die Raupen ernähren sich von den Blättern von Salbei- (Salvia) und Artemisia-Arten. Die Puppe überwintert.

Each morning during carpool, I greet the children and watch them hurry into school with smiles on their faces and an eagerness to learn. Trinity students love school! Our students dive deeply into their learning experiences and develop a curiosity about the world that continues with them as they leave for a diverse array of high schools. I believe this love of learning is the result of a combination of our distinctive elements that make Trinity the best educational opportunity for children.
Trinity's Episcopal roots help us to deliver on our unique mission every day. The heart of an Episcopal education includes academic excellence in a place where diversity in all of its forms is celebrated. Just as Christ embraced and accepted all God's children, we celebrate the uniqueness of every member of our community and believe a diverse environment makes all of us better citizens with an ability to learn, empathize, navigate and thrive in our diverse world.
Our teachers love school too. Our talented, diverse and dedicated group of educators engage each student in ways that develop his or her creative problem solving, critical thinking and collaborative skills. Trinity teachers know each student's strengths and challenges, and the teachers differentiate to help each child reach his or her full potential intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Few schools in the country do service learning as exceptionally as Trinity Episcopal School in Charlotte. The combination of engaging children in authentic activities with a year-long partnership at each grade level and building relationships through service every other week helps students build a greater understanding in academic areas and develops a spirit of empathy and appreciation (an appreciation for human beings as creations of a loving God.).
Trinity is a place of honor and integrity. Our Honor Code sets high expectations for each of us. In addition to a commitment to personal integrity, not lying, cheating or stealing, our values include individual responsibility, teamwork, respect, kindness, consideration and empathy.
Our K-8 identity is a real advantage. Having worked in K-12 schools with three separate divisions for most of my career, I see first-hand the difference a K-8 school makes in creating a close community of learners. It allows us to easily build relationships across grade levels and encourages our middle school students to be role models and leaders. Not only have I noticed the profound impact a K-8 has on our school community, educational research has shown that students demonstrate fewer behavioral problems and higher academic achievement than students enrolled in middle schools.
We like to say that Trinity has the longest hallways in Charlotte, as our campus community extends into the heart of Uptown Charlotte. Each day you will see our students and teachers walking to and engaging with community organizations as part of our academic program and service learning partnerships. We hope these relationships help us to be as much a part of Charlotte as Charlotte is a part of us.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our website! When you are finished visiting us online, I invite you to visit our campus in Uptown Charlotte to see for yourself how much Wildcats love school and what makes their educational experience so exceptional.
Society continues to push our children to grow up as quickly as possible. K-8 schools are able to teach and engage students in developmentally appropriate ways without exposure to the social pressures of high school students.
K-8 schools are places where everyone knows everyone else's name. Teachers and administrators are able to create close relationships with students. And cross-grade buddy systems – like book buddies and service learning projects – ensure that students at different grade levels know each other in very authentic ways.
The result is a strong community where children have a greater sense of confidence and feel safe to take the risks that learning requires.
When middle school students are the oldest in the building, they have an opportunity to serve in leadership capacities earlier. Eighth-graders often find themselves as the captains of sports teams, leading honor councils and assuming the leading roles in school productions.
The K-8 model also provides students in grades 6-8 the opportunity to mentor and serve as role models for younger children.
Parents often become less involved in the school community when their child attends a stand alone middle school. Because the sense of community among teachers, administrators, parents and students is so strong in the K-8 environment, parents tend to remain connected throughout the middle school years.
Studies show that parent involvement is a strong correlate with a child's success in school – and the success of a middle school program.
National studies show that eighth-graders in K-8 schools attain higher academic achievement and score significantly higher than their middle school counterparts on standardized testing.
In many models, middle schoolers are literally stuck in the middle. In the K-8 model, students in middle schoolers are viewed more as juniors and seniors from a leadership perspective and often they are the beneficiaries of resources that might otherwise be focused on high school students.
Teachers and administrators in a K-8 community have a unique perspective on students' growth and development. K-8 teachers watch children move from learning to tie their shoes to watching those shoes walk across the commencement stage in what often feels like a blink of the eye.
But in those nine years, parents and teachers garner invaluable insight about the child's interests, strengths and learning styles. The result – parents feel more confident about making the "right" high school decision at the end of eighth-grade rather than at the beginning of kindergarten.

Kate Middleton, Passage
Posted on 5 February 2018 | Leave a comment
Kate Middleton, Passage (Giramondo 2017)
Most of the poems in Passage are either erasures or centos.
/Explanatory note for the benefit of readers who know even less than I do:/
Cento is defined in my excellent Gepp & Haigh Latin–English dictionary (1888) as 'a poem or composition made up of scraps from various authors or parts of an author'. A basic, nonsensical nursery-rhyme cento, for example, might be:
The mouse ran up the clock
to fetch a pail of water.
He put in his thumb,
see how they run,
An erasure is created by erasing some or most of another piece of writing. I enjoy making them from newspaper columns that annoy me. Here's one based on a recent attack on the #changethedate movement:
/End explanatory note/
Both forms can be fun, but when, as in Kate Middleton's work, the source material isn't well known or readily available, and the poem is longer and more than a fun game, questions arise that I don't know the answers to.
Given my new policy of just talking about a single poem when blogging about poetry books, I was tempted to choose one of Kate Middleton's fine poems that aren't centos or erasures or in some other way symbiotic with another text (such as the handful that are responses to episodes of a TV show I've never heard of). There are plenty of such fine poems – but to choose one of them would feel craven. So here's the cento 'Elegance', which I've singled out because I've read its source text, Luke Carman's An Elegant Young Man.
It's possible to read this without any attention to its cento-ness. The opening couplet announces an emotional tone and names a locality. The next two stanzas sketch an unprepossessing urban landscape – this is not the West of movies but western Sydney. Then the poem turns to address the person looking at this landscape, and becomes a portrait of a writer as one who conceals his metaphorical knife in public, is loud alone at home, and struggles to avoid clichés ('ordinary answers').
It's a cento not only from Luke Carman but for him. Writing cover letters to nowhere is a pretty nice description of a writer's job, and the references to chance and repeated falls are extraordinarily apposite to the way Carman's writing often mimics an intense distractibility, and so much of it is about his own social awkwardness and other struggles.
It's a sweet tribute. By the end, one wants to revisit the capitalised 'West' from the second line. Carman is a kind of Western hero after all, even though his West is not Monument Valley, but Western Sydney.
So what does it mean that the poem is a cento?
Being by profession a proofread type editor, and by inclination a bit pernickety, I got out my copy of An Elegant Young Man. I didn't have time to reread it all, but I read enough to find some of the poem's source text. 'Barred shopfronts flicker phantasmic blue' is distilled from 'shuttered-up Asian supermarkets and squash centres and brick unit blocks with TV flickering a phantasmic blue through the windows'. 'I guess you're like a minor Aussie character / in movies' comes from this: 'I mostly stood still and tried to seem happy-go-lucky, like those minor Aussie characters in movies like Chopper and Getting Square'.
So Kate Middleton hasn't been rigid in quoting the original. As the Emerging Artist said, she's referencing the text rather than quoting it. In these examples, she leaves out the detail of the shopfronts and the TV, and the happy-go-lucky appearance (which is ironic in its original context anyhow). It's not just referencing, but also repurposing. She finds in Carman's text words that describe him in relationship to the milieu that is his subject in ways that he (presumably) wouldn't think to describe himself. It's a kind of alchemy.
I still don't know how the longer centos work, from writers including Siri Hustvedt, Eliot Weinberger and Sir John Mandeville; or erasures that run to several pages. I'm happy to leave that question to better informed readers than I am.
Passage is the third book I've read for the 2018 Australian Women Writers Challenge. I was given a complimentary copy by Giramondo, for which horizon-expanding gift I am grateful.

Sydney Writers' Festival: My Day 5
Sunday morning gestured vaguely in the direction of imminent winter. The sky was overcast and the breeze was making a stab at being chill. By the middle of the day, we were back in balm once more, but don't anyone mention climate change. If I was a truly conscientious blogger I would have managed at least three events, but non-SWF life called, so I'm reporting on only one:
10 am: Real Worlds / Imagined Worlds
This poetry session was chaired by Ivor Indyk, whose Giramondo Press publishes all four poets on the panel. (It also publishes at least two of the #threejerks from yesterday, which says a lot about the diversity of its list.)
Having acknowledged the traditional custodians, Ivor also acknowledged the slipperiness of themes at the SWF. The title and description of the session were what he had come up with for the program, he said, but the poets might well decide to read something else altogether. The theme, which might or might not hold, was to be travel – either to other places or to other realities. Actually, it's hard to imagine a poem that can't be tied to that theme somehow so it was fairly safe.
Judith Beveridge took us to ancient India in readings from her new book, Devadatta's Poems, written from the point of view of the Buddha's cousin who tried to kill him three times, and in his voice: many intensely physical images of unpleasant things, delivered in Judith's cool, self-effacing manner.
Ali Alizadeh ruminated a little about whether the whole idea of travel poem amounted to some kind of commodification, then read a number of what I think were unpublished works, plus 'Robespierre' from Ashes in the Air (my blog on which is here).
Kate Middleton's most recent book, Ephemeral Waters, is a trip down the Colorado River, so she fitted the theme exactly. I especially liked a poem about Monument Valley, bristling with movie references (the Valley and the poem both). My sense is that we got the barest hint of the richness of this book.
Ivor Indyk introduced John Mateer as Australia's main traveller poet. He read from his most recent book, Unbelievers, or 'The Moor' and other places, taking us to mediaeval Spain and Portugal, and then to those modern places.
There was time for questions. Poetry readings always seem to provoke questions that are either profound or silly, or both. Here the first question, something like, 'What use does poetry have in the West, for us … for me?' provoked interesting responses. Ali Alizadeh took it as a challenge – 'You obviously think it doesn't have any use, from the way you asked the question' – and went on to argue that poetry is useless: it doesn't make any money in the novels do, and it doesn't give information like non-fiction. He then ruined his own argument by telling us he was working on a poem called 'The Wink', so that people would never forget what kind of man we have as Prime Minister right now.
The other question was even more profound/silly. 'How do you work out what words to use when you write poetry?' As the questioner explained what she meant, it emerged that as someone from a complex cultural background, she was wrestling with how to write when it felt as if she had to choose between languages and cultures. Again, Ali Alizadeh played the enfant terrible: 'I disagree with you about cultural difference. If someone came here from Mars and looked at us, they'd say, "You all look the same to me. Get over it."'
And my Festival was over: three poetry sessions, two movies, one evening of stand-up, no rain; the world as a battlefield, the heart and mind as tools for liberation; a lot of laughter, a quantity of rage, some tears, and one or two gasps of delight. I got to see a fraction of it, but I intend to see more by way of the blogosphere and podcasts as I seek them out or stumble across them. Plus, I've got a swag of books either already bought or on my list to buy.
I love this Festival.

Southerly 72/2: True Crime
Posted on 18 April 2013 | Leave a comment
Melissa Jane Hardie (guest editor), David Brooks and Elizabeth McMahon (editors), Southerly Vol 72 No 2 2012: True Crime – Every Contact Leaves a Trace
The Southerly of my youth, whatever its contents, always had the same staid, non-committal design: a single colour cover with a small blowing-wind logo the only decoration. (For non-NSW readers, the southerly is a cool and often rain-bearing wind from the south-east, famously welcome for its sudden arrival on stinking hot summer days.) Those days are long past, though the little wind is still there above the title. This issue's cover, featuring an enigmatic photo from the NSW Police Forensic Photography Archive, is a perfect teaser for an issue built around true crime stories, more than one of them drawing on that same archive.
The archive, consisting of 130 000 photographs taken in the first half of last century, found without any accompanying documentation and now held at the Justice and Police Museum in Sydney, is an Aladdin's cave for researchers into Sydney's criminal history. Peter Doyle's 'Detective writing: mapping the Sydney pre-War underworld' is a fascinating dip into it, complemented with an account of a couple of relatively long-lived publications, which he describes as 'kind of ' trade papers for cops, full of vivid and sometimes lurid portraits and narratives from the criminal scene. In Southerly's online section, The Long Paddock, Ross Gibson's 'Collision Course' plays with the narrative possibilities of a selection of images – though none of them are as queerly suggestive as the one on the cover – and refers the reader to his ongoing project with Kate Richards, Life After Wartime. Marise Williams, in 'Women's Work', explores the same milieu, though without drawing on that archive: the women of her title are Kate Leigh and Tilley Devine,who ran organised crime networks in Darlinghurst in the 1920s and 1930s. It's not just the covers that have come a long way since the staid 1960s.
My favourite single prose piece in this issue is Cassandra Atherton's 'Raining Blood and Money'. Classified as fiction, it's a graphic imagining of New York's terrible 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist fire, in which 146 people, most of them women workers, died in 18 minutes. The fire was hugely significant in the history of women and labour in the USA, and in the century since it happened it has given rise to innumerable songs, stories, monographs, rallies, and organising activities, as the links on its Wikipedia page demonstrate. Some stories need to be told and retold, and Atherton's telling feels as fresh and visceral as if it happened yesterday.
Of course, Southerly is still a scholarly journal, so: there's a theoretical consideration of sensationalist 19th century crime writing; the formidable thinking of Deleuze and Guattari is brought to bear on Ned Kelly's Jerilderie letter; a Black Saturday arsonist is considered in the light of the different understandings of the notion of 'abjection' in the writings of Julia Kristeva and Judith Butler; Schapelle Corby is the subject of abstruse reflections that include such highly technical language as: 'To be where you are … requires a sense of affective difference, understood as either the Spinozan–Deleuzian mapping of co-ordinates of intensities or as the forms of projective identification required in nominating and refining the arbitrary and violent constitution of the nation-state.' Lit crit has moved on since my day.
There's forty pages of reviews, including Kate Middleton in elegiac mode about the late Peter Steele's Braiding the Voices, and a swag of poetry, of which Adam Aitken's 'The plein-air effect (after John Clare)', Michael Farrell's 'Disapproval' and Hazel Smith's 'Experimentalism' stand out for me.
A dip into the Long Paddock came up with not only Ross Gibson's piece, but also Melissa Jane Hardie's review of A Tragedy in Two Acts: Marcus Einfeld & Teresa Brennan by Fiona Harari. I met Teresa Brennan once, and am glad to see that this book makes more of her than a name in a false alibi: it doesn't mention that she was at one time a writer for Barry Humphries/Edna Everage.

Heat 22: The Persistent Rabbit
Posted on 19 May 2010 | Leave a comment
Ivor Indyk (Ed), Heat 22: The persistent rabbit (Giramondo May 2010)
This issue of Heat has much that is wonderful. The title, following tradition, is a phrase chosen apparently at random from the contents, in this case from πO's exuberant nonsense poem 'Rabbit Proof Fence':
The average person blinksoooo22 rabbits a minute.
Burke & Wills went into the desertoooowith a dozen rabbits
Obsession isooooa persistent rabbit.
The causes of a rabbitooooaren't clear.
Perhaps Ivor Indyk, the editor, is quietly suggesting that the seemingly miraculous persistence of Heat owes not a little to obsession.
I understand Heat to be about diversity, about presenting a version of literary Australia that is open to the whole planet. It often includes, for instance, travel writing, translated pieces, news from abroad, and fiction, essays or images that grow from places where cultures intersect. In this issue there are examples of each of these – respectively, Barbara Brooks's self-styled fictional memoir 'Lost in the House' (which powerfully combines tales of travel, dementia, memory and intergenerational relationships); Stuart Cooke's 'Two Mapuche Poets' (the Mapuche people are indigenous to parts of Chile and Argentina); Priya Basil's 'My Home is Our Castle' (about a communal housing project that won a major architecture prize in Berlin last year); Michelle Moo's colonial historical fiction, 'New Gold Mountain' (white women and Chinese men on the Australian goldfields); Barry Hill's 'Ezra Pound: The tragic orientalist'; and the centre section of art by Guan Wei, 'Longevity for Beginners'. (The last three provide a nice example of the kind of counterpoint that Edward Said recommended.)
Apart from Barbara Brooks's memoir three pieces stood out for me.
Brendan Ryan (whose book of poetry, Why I Am Not a Farmer, I am now actively seeking) has a gripping personal essay on the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires in western Victoria, which is enough by itself to justify the price of the journal. Sadly, not even part of it is up on the Heat website.
Lee Kofman's essay, 'Revisiting the Geography of My Body', just as gripping and as intensely personal, includes incidental elements of a migration story, but is mainly about scars, particularly scars on a woman's body, and their almost complete absence from literature and visual arts: wounds, scars as something to be healed, scars on men (she doesn't have to mention Coriolanus), but scars as such, particularly on a woman's body, reside 'outside the linguistic and public realm'. By sheer chance, I happened to walk past this piece of graffiti in Newtown just as I finished reading the essay. I hope Ms Kofman would enjoy it:
I said I wouldn't whinge any more about proofing errors in this Heat, but there is one good old-fashioned belly laugh in this essay. The pursuit of bodily perfection, it tells us, 'can be traced back to Pluto's ideal of human beauty as the "natural", unmarked body'. Roman myth, presumably, rather than Disney.
Of the poetry, Kate Middleton's poems on a Hansel and Gretel theme stand out for me. They are billed as excerpts from Where Dingoes Tread. I look forward to seeing the whole thing:
Remember when hunger
was simple?
ooooooooooooThere was nothing
and we ate nothing. Then plenty returned
and I turned
to austerity.

Thank you for visiting my photography blog at Garvin Hunter Photography. In my most recent series I have published some of my earlier work, All three nautical wall art decor prints were captured along the shoreline at Port Stanely, Ontario. The prints are now available for sale at my fine art gallery online store hosted by Fine Art America. Coming from Nova Scotia and having spent the majority of my life living by the ocean I am passionate about Canada's beaches. There is something very peaceful about walking down the beach and hearing nothing but the water crash onto the beach. When processing the original photographs I decided to give them a strong vintage look and thus adding to the overall mood of the prints. I hope you enjoy. If you have any questions regarding my work please do not hesitate to send me a note using the feedback form on the right side of the page. I will normally respond to all enquiries within 24 hrs.
Thank you again for visiting!!

Tar baby controversy
By mlq3 Posted in Daily Dose on May 23, 2006 11 Comments 5 min read
Proclaimed a National Artist, not awarded Previous da Vinci crapfest Next
This is the first time a journalist who's been murdered is someone I've actually met. I was a guest on Fernando Batul's radio show when I was last in Puerto Princesa City. He seemed a nice enough person. From what I saw during his radio show, he didn't seem particularly different from other hard-hitting radio hosts. Now he's dead.
Good news: a bill exempting those who earn 125,000 pesos a year or below from income tax is closer to being approved. In his column, John Mangun suggests that all isn't peachy keen in the economic front, though. Besides which, as Punzi points out, it's increasingly obvious that despite working hard, people aren't getting what they deserve as compensation for their efforts.
Connie Veneracion explains what's wrong with the compromise deals the PCGG wants with the Marcoses.
Overseas, Netindia reports a controversy involving contending claims as to which Filipino was really the first to climb Everest. The Nation of Thailand points to round two in the Thaksin drama. After having beaten a strategic retreat, Thaksin's now attempting a comeback. As Thepchai Yong's opinion column explains,
So the question is whether Thaksin will improve things or make them worse with his comeback.
For Thai Rak Thai, its leader's sudden political re-entry was definitely a boon to its rank and file, who have been badly demoralised by the changing political tide. The party is facing the possibility of dissolution after a sub-committee of the Election Commission found some of its top officials to be involved in bribing small parties to contest the April 2 election. Thaksin himself is facing a lawsuit in the Administrative Court that threatens to strip him of the premiership for alleged dereliction of duty.
But it's the pending election that was probably a major factor in prompting Thaksin to end his break. Without their leader actively at the helm, Thai Rak Thai was obviously as disoriented as the government itself. The prolonged political stalemate that was already causing rumblings within the party threatened to intensify factional conflicts that might result in mass defections.
So it's fairly easy to see the reasons for Thaksin's latest political flip-flop. Salvaging Thai Rak Thai's sagging image and saving it from a possible disintegration was at the top of his agenda. The party also badly needs him to lead the charge into the next election.
But for the public at large, Thaksin's return signals a protracted deadlock. Lest he forget, the political anarchy in the country now is entirely Thaksin's doing. His six-week political hiatus only compounded it.
Thaksin's resumption of the premiership will not in any way dispel the charges of conflict of interest, abuse of power and interference with independent bodies that have been levelled against him and which were the reasons for him being rejected by large sections of society. His party's continuing support for the embattled election commissioners also lends weight to the accusation that they are working hand-in-glove.
If the election date as proposed by the Election Commission holds, it means that the current caretaker government with Thaksin at the helm will continue to hold power for another five months. And that means another five months of political uncertainty.
Thaksin's political juggling only proves that his style of CEO leadership has been a big failure and his Thai Rak Thai is anything but a political institution. Even top level Cabinet members, including his second in command, often cited as his possible political heirs, were helpless without their commander-in-chief around.
Sounds familiar. As does the paper's editorial calling for an end to the revolving-door and heavily politicized policies towards the Fourth Army of the Thai military.
A reader pointed out a tar baby controversy in America, concerning the new White House spokesman (and former Fox News anchor) Tony Snow. What's wrong with using the term tar baby? This cartoon tells it all:
Actually, that's a parody cartoon. What really happened is explained by Dr. Marc Lamont Hill: the context of the statement and why it has been found objectionable by so many, though he suggests Snow was a victim of a culture that doesn't consider the feelings of others. PERRspectives graphically demonstrates why "tar baby" is objectionable. Sea Change adds that the statement is more likely a slip, and focusing too much on it ignores other acts of racism that deserve attention. Then again, prying1 says it's all much ado about nothing -another case of political correctness run amuck.
I'm inclined to agree with Lamont, if only because the tar baby story itself is a kind of age reference: only Filipinos of my generation know the story, just as American whites of Snow's generation may know it without realizing how it's viewed as a racist image or epithet by non-whites. The speed at which things can change is actually best demonstrated by my generation: I think we were the last to think nothing of being taught to sing "Yankee Doodle" in school, and read about Abraham Lincoln in classes.
The Suburban Ecstasies writes a hard-hitting critique of what he considers the reverse-racism of other conservatives, such as the one I most like to dislike, Michelle Malkin: he say's she's on the warpath on allegedly racist statements made against her, but really, she's only being selective about the facts. And just for the hell of it, Click Mo Mukha Mo on a Filipina pornstar running for governor of Nevada makes a good companion story.
And there's the sudden death of the most insanely popular gossip blog (at least for a few weeks: it was certainly causing mental -well, okay, emotional- anguish among the glitterati).

Loved that post on Michelle Malkin.
Hey did your friend at the Standard take a break from writing lifestyle columns?
speaking of sudden death of blogs…I am beginning to miss Ricky Carandang's blog…i hope I was not responsible in any way for his decision to stop blogging……
i got a terrible commenter beating at the last blog Ricky posted…Oh forget it!
On media killings..I read in the inquirer maybe about two weeks ago that Senator Dick Lugar was noticing the Philippine media killings….
If Marcos flew to Hawaii the instant Lugar told him to cut and cut clean when will Luar ask Gloria to cut clean????
ooops, someone might bash me for waiting for the big brother's help…..

On John Magun and his almost theological faith in the so called workings of the free market. How could he be so wrong?
History tells us otherwise with the end of the gold standard -to which Nixon said, "we are all Keynesians."
State power to create assets out of nothing is an awesome power. Unfortunately corrupt governments have always used the power for the selective few. The technology of finance is awesome for good and evil.
Going back to the biggest failure of the free market system in 1930's and later in 1972 – "the rulers of the exchange of mankind's goods," the unscrupulous money changers" who, "through their own stubborness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated" Having thus driven the money changers" from their high seats in the temple of our civilization." Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Roosvelt promised to request Congress to grant him "broad executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe." FDR
Two days later, on March 6, 1933, w/o waiting for Congress, the president issued an Executive order closing every bank in the U.S. and prohibiting the export of gold.
Claudia Goldin an economic historian also wrote on the effects of the New Deal and the economic benefits of a war economy –
FDR increased income taxes and capital gains taxes in the U.S. and historians claim that he singlehandedly created the American middle class.
From Krugmnan's piece on the "Spiral of Inequality"
"The relatively decent society we had a generation ago was largely the creation of a brief, crucial period in American history: the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, during the New Deal and especially during the war. That created what economic historian Claudia Goldin called the Great Compression — an era in which a powerful government, reinforced by and in turn reinforcing a newly powerful labor movement, drastically narrowed the gap in income levels through taxes, benefits, minimum wages, and collective bargaining. In effect, Roosevelt created a new, middle-class America, which lasted for more than a generation. We have lost that America, and it will take another Roosevelt, and perhaps the moral equivalent of another war, to get it back."
In 1972 the world went off the gold standard and the world started the experiment with fiat currency. That combined with the fractional reserve system of banking essentially tranferred power back to the rulers's of the exchange of mankinds goods (private owners of capital). In effect the State effectively guarantees the actions of private bankers in the creation of new money. (Privatizing gains and socializing loses) The world has never been the same since. The next few years we expect a more dramatic failure of the same. Guess who will once again pay the bills when the so called free market fails.
Please check on how fast your fiat currency looses it real value. Ask the guys at the BSP and the DOF if they have an answer? Ask them why creating inflation and/or debasing currency is a favorite pastime of corrupt governments. Ask them why they had to get PHD's abroad simply to learn this trick?
Ask them to point to a particular advanced industrial economy that developed using the theology of the free markets.
On the killings and disappearnces of journalists and activists from the left it appears that GMA has either wittingly or unwittingly unleashed both the "schutzstaffel" and the "sturmabteilung" in the country.
I do not think she quite understands the evil forces she is unleashing. But I may be wrong.
On both counts keeping silent is not an option.
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/ann_pettifor/2006/05/the_house_that_big_brother_fin.html
A good link to an article describing the pitfalls of unregulated financial capitalism or fictional capitalism. That is the only way advanced economies keep their economies going. (Trading and profiting in futures) Unfortunately over 2 billion people in India and Chin could have other ideas. Hence the West would like them to open up their economies fully to financial capitalsim. It is not a question of if a financial collapse will happen but when.
It was Keynes himself who said that waiting for market equilibrium could take time and in the end we would all be dead anyway.
Amadeo says:
Re the "tar baby" controversy, unfortunately what has been happening here in the US, and maybe elsewhere, too, is that the public discourse environment has become so unjustifiably and maybe even unscrupulously politicized as to now evoke an over-heightened, or may even contrived, sense of sensibility or outrage over the mere use of certain terms, even as innocuous as the word, niggardly, which as admitted has absolutely nothing to do with any reference to race, much less in any derogatory manner. And in this instance, only because it sounds like the n word.
In this tense environment, any slip-up however unintended or seemingly benign will be highlighted and magnified in media. And because the race card sits better with the Democrats, the Republicans and conservatives particularly will be subjected to harsher criticism for any slip-up. This is the case with Tony Snow, with the added onus that he was extracted from the ranks of the envied Fox News organization, media's alleged nemesis to liberalism.
And whether one likes or dislikes her, I feel that Michelle Malkin deserves some due for taking tough and unpopular issues. And on this particular alleged racist flap, she was able to elicit a short written apology from the blog source (Wonkette, which also set the stage for the Malkin snipe by parodying earlier the FilAm pornstar's candidacy). Thus, on balance, she got her vindication.
BTW, at least two defenders of hers have challenged her detractors to cite anything written by Malkin that could be judged racist. I shall keep an eye on any development.

Quite a nice blog you have going – Quite informative and hits various points of views in ways that should (but doesn't) make the MSM blush with envy. Thanks for the link to my tar baby post.

Last weekend was Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos, and San Antonio had celebrations around the city. One was called Muertos Fest and was held at La Villita. As we drove through downtown, it was obvious the city was in celebration mode…although I feel that we usually are in some way. There often seems to be an event going on centered around food and culture.
Walking up to La Villita, you could smell the aroma of fried food and hear Spanish music playing. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day outside because the sun was shining, but it wasn't too hot. There was a mix of people at the event: young and old, families, groups of young people, different races, San Antonio residents and people just visiting. Everyone seemed to be having a good time shopping, dancing, eating, and watching performances. Many were standing in line to get some sort of snack or meal.
We met some really fun and interesting people at the event and were able to get a few interviews from individuals who had great opinions on the food and culture of San Antonio.
When it started to get dark, we decided to head to The Cove to check out the food and ambiance. I had sent out a link on Facebook for a survey regarding favorite restaurants in San Antonio and The Cove was listed five times. I have always wanted to give The Cove a try, but had yet to make it out there. We went and I loved it! The food was great, but the atmosphere is what hooked me. There were so many types of people there, but all for the same reason. It has an extremely relaxed vibe, you do not feel rushed or feel like you have to be on your best behavior, and the people around were friendly.
Check out the video below to get a taste of the interviews at Muertos Fest, as well as a review of The Cove with some pictures of the tasty food!


Here's a great way to have everything you need in a neat and orderly storage system — yet out of sight if the room doubles as a guest room!

David Berry Knapp, also known as Krishna Deva (born 1948), is an American former businessman and disciple of Rajneesh who was the mayor of Rajneeshpuram from August 11, 1982 to September 15, 1985.

Early life and education
Knapp was raised in Chicago and Highland Park, Illinois. After graduating from Highland Park High School, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California. Knapp began a Master of Science degree program in counseling psychology at USC and completed it at Lone Mountain College.

Career
After earning his counseling degree, Knapp managed a mental health facility in Los Angeles called "The Family Home." Knapp also worked as a marriage counselor, drug and alcohol counselor, and academic counselor at Santa Monica College. Knapp earned a real estate broker's license in 1977.

Knapp was introduced to the Rajneesh teachings in 1976 and stayed at the Pune ashram between 1979 and 1981. Due to his background in the real estate industry, with knowledge of municipality law and related business, he became involved with what would develop into Rajneeshpuram, a commune built in rural Wasco County, Oregon. In late 1982 he became a city official and later was named mayor of the new city. In 1985, he became an FBI informant and provided what the Bureau described as "essential" information to uncovering the criminal activities of the religious group. Deva admitted to being involved with the 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack.

In 1986, he was sentenced to two years in prison after admitting to filing a false petition with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and participating in a sham marriage. Knapp entered the Federal Witness Protection Program, and after serving his prison term, he relocated to El Segundo, California, and changed back to his pre-Sannyasin name. Knapp refused to be interviewed for the documentary Wild Wild Country.

Parts of this post are cross-posted at the brand new Nonfiction Monday group blog! Please stop by to see what great nonfiction bloggers are reading this week!
"Making Nonfiction Accessible for Young Readers" by Sue Christian Parsons (Reading Today, October/November 2012).
While this article is definitely geared towards teachers, we found lots to discuss. We talked about why teachers and librarians may not be as familiar with nonfiction as with fiction - because when we were kids nonfiction may not have been prioritized and a lot of what was being published was textbook-y and dry. Within the past 5-10 years, narrative nonfiction has exploded and there is a lot more available today then there was when we were growing up. Our job as librarians is to stay on top of what's being published and be ready to recommend engaging nonfiction to teachers and to kids.
Outside of the classroom, some readers naturally gravitate towards nonfiction and we owe it to them to include nonfiction in our readers' advisory arsenal. We talked about other uses for nonfiction, too. Adults may be looking for a brief overview of a topic, something they might find in a children's book. And so much great narrative nonfiction is being published for young people that adults may be missing out if they skip over the children's section altogether.
And, of course, as more and more of our schools are moving to adopt Common Core standards, reading narrative nonfiction is going to become more and more prevalent in classrooms. Nonfiction picture books can be great tools, even in upper grades, to give students an overview of a topic. Keeping on top of nonfiction is essential! And my staff discovered that there are great, readable titles available if we look!
I'm really please by the breadth of what everyone read and everyone found at least one book that she truly enjoyed, so I'm hoping this will encourage my staff members to keep picking up nonfiction.
"Has the Newbery Lost Its Way?" by Anita Silvey. School Library Journal, October 2008.
"The Newbery Remembers its Way, or 'Gee, thanks, Mr. Sachar" by Nina Lindsay at the Heavy Medal Blog, October 2008.
I told my staff that they are welcome to read winners and honor books and they're certainly not limited to the Newbery Award. ALSC gives out many, many awards!
We also spent some time at the end of our meeting deciding on genres and topics for next year's Reading Wildly (and I will post about that soon). My staff is getting a lot out of the program and we'll continue meeting monthly and discussing books and genres. They have really enjoyed having the articles the past couple of months and the articles have given us a good starting point for talking about genre. I'm really excited about the year to come!
