One of the important contested political campaigns in Hamilton County is the race for public defender. Steve Smith is seeking to replace Ardena Garth.
I have known Steve professionally in his roles as a defense attorney and as a prosecutor. As a defense attorney Steve was an advocate for his client's rights and as a prosecutor his goal was to always seek justice. He understood his responsibilities.
Now, he is ready to accept a new responsibility – protecting the rights of indigent defendants accused of crimes. This is a very important role in our society. It is one of many important constitutional safeguards in our republic. Steve understands the duty of this position to the indigent and the accountability to the taxpayers.
Steve has spent a considerable amount of time planning for this campaign after deciding why he wanted to run. He has recognized a need for a change and has a vision for the future of this office.
Because of his experience, integrity, and determination I will cast my vote for Steve Smith.

Church diplomat eyes close Vietnam ties
Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli wants also to serve local Church
ucanews.com reporter, Ho Chi Minh City
February 10, 2011
The new non-resident pontifical representative for Vietnam says he hopes to foster closer communion between the Holy See and the Church in that country, and work for the common good. "I would like to take this opportunity to convey my earnest desire and intent to be of assistance to you (and) to assure you of my availability both in service and collaboration for the well-being of the Church," said Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli in his letter to Cardinal Jean Baptiste Pham Minh Man of Ho Chi Minh City. Archbishop Girelli sent the letter, dated January 13, to Cardinal Man soon after Pope Benedict XVI named him non-resident pontifical representative for Vietnam. The Vatican has no diplomatic relations with Vietnam and the naming of a non-resident pontifical representative is seen as the first step towards re-establishing diplomatic ties with the communist country. His letter in English was posted on Ho Chi Minh City archdiocese's website on February 2. "I ardently hope to strengthen the bonds of fraternal understanding and mutual assistance between this Pontifical Representation and your archdiocese," the 57-year-old Vatican diplomat told Cardinal Man. Archbishop Girelli said he also hoped to be "an instrument of fellowship between local priests, Religious and laypeople and among the people in Vietnam." Cardinal Man told ucanews.com earlier that he hopes the pontifical representative would play an intermediary role in building good working relationships between the Holy See, the Vietnamese government and the local Church. He said local Church leaders and Archbishop Girelli should meet directly to communicate and correctly understand local Church issues. In the past certain Church issues could not be effectively communicated to the Holy See by mail, he noted. "He [Archbishop Girelli] should visit local Catholic communities regularly and see their lives as he did in Indonesia so he can accurately reflect on the local Church's activities," Cardinal Man noted. Archbishop Girelli, who has been in the Vatican diplomatic corps since 1987. He was ordained a bishop in 2006 when he was named nuncio to Indonesia.

The growth was just slightly higher than the 1.51 percent expansion of the sector in the same period last year. Crops production rose 3.7 percent, with unmilled rice output up 4.8 percent at 8.38 million tonnes, slightly above a government forecast of 8.31 million tonnes for the six-month period. Poultry output grew 0.73 percent, while livestock rose 0.94 percent. The fisheries output contracted by 1.9 percent, the Philippine Statistics Authority said in a report.

Slain teen's mother lashes out at justice system
Relevant offers
The grieving mother of slain Kapiti teen Izak Wikaira Millanta has lashed out at the justice system, saying "everything was a battle" following his death.
Christine Wikaira said victims did not have enough rights and her family's efforts to reveal the truth surrounding her son's death had been blocked by police and coronial services.
''Through this investigation we have realised that the truth does not always prevail, that knowledge of what really happened cannot always be supported by acceptable evidence, that the justice system protects and rewards offenders while obstructing any effort by victims to reveal the truth'', Ms Wikaira said.
''Throughout this process, I have felt like everything was a battle where my family's needs were not met.
"My family and I feel very let down by the justice system of this country."
Manawanui Stewart, 26, was sentenced to six years in prison when he appeared in the High Court at Wellington this morning. He had earlier plead guilty to charges of manslaughter, assault with intent to injure and assault in relation to three separate incidents on the night of Izak's fatal bashing in August last year.
The 17-year-old was found lying unresponsive in a car park at Coastlands mall, Paraparaumu, after he was chased, pushed to the ground and then kicked and stomped on.
Paramedics fought to save him for nearly an hour before he was taken to Wellington Hospital for emergency surgery. He died in the early hours of August 12.
During the sentencing a man was ejected from the court when he yelled out "it [the charge] should have been murder". In sentencing Stewart, Justice Ron Young said Izak was killed in a "brutal attack for the most trivial of reasons".
"It seems clear that you get intoxicated and this turns you into a bully.
"This was a choice you made ... and in my mind this is a serious, violent, persistent attack."
Earlier, six victim impact statements from Izak's family were read to the court.
Ms Wikaira said her son was ''killed in a frenzy of senseless rage''.
''The blood of Izak Wikaira Millanta is on the hands of those that took his life.
''It will be your whakapapa, stained by innocent blood, your tainted family history that will carry on into the future."
She also spoke of not being able to return to work following her son's death and the financial burden it had placed on her family.
''Our sentence is a life one, our sentence is to never see Izak achieve his potential,'' Ms Wikaira said.
She described her son as a compassionate and empathetic leader who stood up to others.
''He had an open mind, he had a sense of humour, and ... he had a beauty and a strength that some people never find in their time here on earth.
''He stood up to bullies and protected others from them and in the end they beat him to death for refusing to be afraid.
''Izak's hopes and dreams were taken by force and violence - the very things he stood against.
''Words cannot express the pain, I watch as my family struggles to live one day at a time.
''The enormity of this loss will never lose its power to hurt and sadden us."
She criticised the judicial process and expressed concern about the rights of a victim's family to a lawyer and legal aid.
''The decision not to charge anyone with murder and to only charge one of the two men present remains inexplicable to us."
She could not understand why no arrests were made on the night of the attack, even though police had been given the names of both men involved. Early arrests could have provided crucial forensic evidence, she said.
Stewart was arrested 36 hours after the attack. Another man spoke to police, but was never charged.
The family had been refused the right to review a coroner's post mortem, which drew no conclusion about Izak's fatal injuries and how they were caused, she said.
Outside court, Stewart's emotional mother Cushla Goodman said her son was not a bully.
"He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and this is a result of helping friends in a situation they should have dealt with themselves.
"My son is very sorry for what he has done - truly he is. We are all victims."
She admitted her son had not had a good upbringing, but that did not justify his actions.
Ms Wikaira, speaking outside court, said the family was "slightly surprised" at the length of the sentence. They had been warned it might be lower, she said. However, the sentence gave the family no comfort. "It is a travesty of justice."
Izak's father Steve Millanta was too emotional to finish reading his victim impact statement inside the court. Outside he said the sentence "doesn't sit well".
"I've just relived it, it's not nice."

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

State Council Headquarters
An Egyptian court has delayed hearing legal challenges, filed by the State Lawsuits Authority and others against a decision to suspend parliamentary elections, to April 7.
The hearing was postponed in order for the president's office and the ministry of justice to submit their approvals on the appeals, the court said on Sunday.
The High Administrative Court had decided to table the legal challenges for discussion last week while state commissioners had recommended striking down the appeals.
The recommendations of state commissioners are not binding on the court.
The April-scheduled parliamentary election was suspended early this month by a court order that referred its law to the High Constitutional Court to review its legality.
The State Lawsuits Authority had filed a challenge on behalf of the president, the Shura Council and the justice ministry, saying that the ruling is flawed and restricts the president's right to exercise his political powers.

Tax breaks for college savings
As the cost of college continues to soar in America, more and more states are offering tax breaks to families who are trying to save as much as they can for their kid's educational future. The state of Massachusetts is deciding whether or not they will join the list this week.
The most commonly used vehicle for that purpose is the 'qualified tuition plan,' more commonly known as a 529 Plan. These plans are sponsored by states, state agencies or educational institutions and were originally authorized by Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. They are tax-free on a federal level and all but eight of the 42 states that have an income tax allow families and individuals to claim a tax deduction on college savings. read more…

I just posted about making these stamps over at the Image Reproduction forum - I made two sets of each bird, facing different directions, so mirror images of each other and gave one set to kbrison (the ones nicely mounted on the wood blocks) and kept the other two for myself.
It's just not right to make stamps and not make something with them, so I decided to test the images and make a project from them as well. I used archival ink to stamp, so I could use watercolours and dye inks to add colour to the cards.
More about the two bird set here, and more
about the single chickadee on a branch here...
I am rather in love with all the birds coming to my new bird feeders, which I can see from my craft room window. I am very tempted to make a couple of nuthatch stamps next!

CyberpowerPC to Offer Intel's Overclocking Warranty Plan -- Push your CPU to the Limit with the Performance Tuning Protection Plan
BALDWIN PARK, CA (January 31, 2012) -- CyberpowerPC, http://www.cyberpowerpc.com, a leading manufacturer of custom gaming desktop PCs, gaming notebooks, and performance workstations, today announced it is the first U.S. computer manufacturer to offer Intel's Performance Tuning Protection Plan, which provides an added layer of warranty protection in the event of CPU damage caused by overclocking.
The Performance Tuning Protection Plan is a chance to experiment with the overclocking features of your CyberpowerPC gaming rig without the fear of what may happen if you push the processor too far. The Plan will provide complete one-time replacement of the processor if you overclock or over-tweak the voltage and the CPU fails.
If your CyberpowerPC's processor fails under normal usage, it will be replaced under the standard warranty; if it fails while running outside of Intel's specifications, it will be replaced under the Performance Tuning Protection Plan. CyberpowerPC will offer the Intel Plan for all systems built with "K" and "X" Intel boxed processors. Intel launched the plan in January and it will last for six months.
As one of the first system builders to offer the Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan, CyberpowerPC has teamed with world-wide leading motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte to offer the Intel Plan free to customers who purchase an Intel 2nd Generation K CPU and a Gigabyte Z68 motherboard.
"We're very excited to partner up with Intel and Gigabyte to provide this service for our enthusiast customers," said Eric Cheung, CEO of CyberpowerPC. "We're inviting our hardcore gaming customers to push their systems to the limit because CyberpowerPC and Intel have your back."
CyberpowerPC also offers its in-house Venom Boost technology which overclocks the processor up to an additional 30 percent. For those who do not want to experiment, Venom Boost technology is a safe way to obtain maximum performance for gaming, multi-tasking and intense multimedia and business applications.
CyberpowerPC pairs every gaming rig with the most current video cards from NVIDIA and AMD to deliver cinematic visuals on the latest games. Customers can also opt to have CyberpowerPC's Advance Hydro Liquid Cooling Kit installed in their system to keep overclocked CPUs and extreme gaming GPUs cooled and running quiet.
All CyberpowerPC's gaming systems can be customized with a number of performance hardware and components such as Solid State Drives, Blu-Ray drives, gaming memory, gaming peripherals, business and productivity software, and more at the company website, http://www.cyberpowerpc.com .
CyberpowerPC assembles every system in the US. Each system is meticulously built including precise cable routing to ensure optimal airflow and a clean aesthetic appearance. CyberpowerPC loads every system with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Operating System for an enhanced gaming and multimedia experience. All CyberpowerPC gaming systems include a 3-year limited warranty and free lifetime phone support.

With more than 20 million worldwide sales, Bryce Courtenay was Australia's most popular author when he died.
Since his 1989 debut, The Power of One (which netted Courtenay $1 million even before it was published), he produced a book almost every year and dominated local best-seller lists.
It has been estimated that most households owns a Courtenay book, but the former ad man remained unpopular with what he called the "literati".
While he countered their criticism with sales figures and clever quips ("People say I don't write books, I make Christmas presents," he once said), Courtenay was less assured when responding to accusations that he had embellished his life story, which reads like his epic novels of triumph over adversity.
Arthur Bryce Courtenay was born in South Africa on August 14, 1933, the illegitimate child of dressmaker Maude Greer and clothing salesman Arthur Ryder.
They already had a daughter, Rosemary, but Ryder lived with his wife and their five children. Maude was briefly married to a man named Roberts, but gave the surname Courtenay to her children.
According to Bryce Courtenay, he was placed in an orphanage for several years almost from birth. He overcame bullying and beatings by learning to box and tell stories, and won a scholarship to Johannesburg's prestigious King Edward VII school. Courtenay claimed he was "one of the most applied and academically gifted children the school has seen", and gave literacy classes to black people until the police shut them down.
After being offered a place at the London School of Journalism, Courtenay worked in Zambia's copper mines to raise travel funds. He had the dangerous job of setting explosives, and carried a gun or knife into the showers, "otherwise you got raped", he told ABC Radio.
Courtenay met Australian Benita Solomon in London, and followed her to Sydney in 1958. They were soon married while he worked as an advertising copywriter then creative director at leading agencies such as George Patterson. He ultimately established his own agency.
Among those who knew him, Courtenay was recognised as a "storyteller, a bullshit artist", as advertising colleague Owen Denmeade described him - "but he's not a hurtful bullsh*t artist." In March 2012, Jane Cadzow's Good Weekend feature highlighted "strange inconsistencies in his life story."
Among the alternative views were Courtenay's sister Rosemary's claims that he was only in an orphanage for "a matter of weeks or months", and that there was no scholarship; their father had paid Courtenay's school fees.
Other anomalies raised in the article included Courtenay's often-told anecdote about creating Mortein's famous Louie the Fly in a taxi.
The character appeared before Courtenay arrived in Australia, though he certainly helped to introduce a singing Louie to television in 1962.
Later questioned about such inconsistencies on ABC TV, Courtenay said that his job was "to dress the naked truth, to make it interesting, to make it viable, to make it seem like something you understand and feel and love." Asked if that applied to his own life as well as his novels, he replied: "I couldn't answer that."
Undoubtedly Courtenay built an impressive advertising career, during much of which he was known for long lunches.
At age 45 he gave up drinking and smoking and started running; according to Courtenay he ran 37 marathons (though his anecdote about meeting Stephen King during the Boston marathon is in doubt, as King claims never to have run the Boston marathon).
At 55 Courtenay began his second, even more successful career. What he regarded as his "practice novel" became an international hit. The Power of One was translated into numerous languages and made into a film of the same name.
He soon retired from advertising and established a gruelling writing schedule: 12 hours a day, six days a week for seven months each year - after which he threw himself into marketing campaigns unrivalled in Australia.
As well as countless book signings and interviews, Courtenay also oversaw everything from consumer surveys about book covers, to publicity stunts including sky-writing and specially branded beer.
Courtenay produced a best-seller year after year, streaking ahead of every other Australian author in sales and library borrowings (he wrote 12 of the 50 most-borrowed books at Australia's public libraries, including the top two, Tommo & Hawk and The Potato Factory). He became a fixture on BRW's Top 50 Entertainers rich list.
Australia's literary scene, including many critics, was generally unimpressed.
Courtenay claimed he could write a literary novel if he chose to, and that it was "a lot harder to make it into the top 100 fiction writers in the world than it is to write a book which the local literati feel is splendid and sells 2000 copies."
He was stung by what he called "literary snobbery", but arguably had the last laugh - such as at the Melbourne Writers Festival event that pitted him against five critics. "I guess I have to suffer your slings and arrows", he concluded, "but would you mind if I kept the outrageous fortune?"
The only non-fiction work among Courtenay's 23 books was written after his youngest son, a haemophiliac, contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion and died in 1991.
According to Courtenay, Damon begged his father to write a book about AIDS sufferers' ostracism. Courtenay often described writing April Fool's Day, which controversially exposed his family's private suffering, as "the single most difficult thing I have ever done."
Courtenay said that after Damon's death, "Benita and I never quite were the same again". He also admitted to "some indiscretions" during their marriage. They divorced in 2000 but remained on good terms, with Courtenay at her bedside when Benita died of leukaemia seven years later.
Courtenay had several relationships after separating from his wife, including with literary agent Margaret Gee. However it was her identical twin, Christine Gee (his publicist and an adventure travel company pioneer), with whom Courtenay spent the last several years of his life.
They married in 2011, the same year he was diagnosed with gastric cancer, and had most of his stomach and part of his intestine removed. He was also troubled by shingles, serious heart and back problems, and arthritis in his hands so debilitating he was reduced to two-finger typing.
For the first time in decades, there was no Courtenay book ready for Christmas in 2011. He was deeply upset by this failure to meet his annual deadline: "When you have one of those A-type personalities where achievement is important, and you have my kind of background, then ... failure is unthinkable," he said.
On September 7, 2012, Courtenay announced on Facebook: "It is with great sadness that I am writing to let you know that Jack of Diamonds my new book due out in November this year shall be my last ... I have been diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer".
Courtenay was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 1995, and given an honorary doctorate by the University of Newcastle a decade later. He was one of six authors celebrated on Australia Post's 2010 'Literary Legends' stamps (among his fellow legends was Peter Carey, whom Courtenay described as an "unpopular novelist" and foremost among Australia's "literary snobs").
Courtenay was an active and generous supporter of several charities, including his second wife's Australian Himalayan Foundation, and established The Power of One Australian Hero Award with his publisher, Penguin. A self-described "fanatical gardener", he endorsed environmental causes such as saving Tasmania's old-growth forests and The Thin Green Line Foundation.
Bryce Courtenay is survived by Christine and his sons Brett and Adam.

~*~ No Music Discussion ~*~
Reppin': Mai GIRLfriend
Robert Christgau: is this guy insane or just conceited - Are you tired of music reviewers using bland everyday language to describe their approach and analysis of music? Surely you'll appreciate somebody who says things such as "My Bloody Valentine inhibiting serotonin uptake the vegan way" and "musically, Hieronymus Bosch as postindustrial atheist; lyrically, Transformers as kiddie porn".
Rick Ross was an officer before he was the biggest boss we've seen thus far - Fear strikes the rap community today as the biggest boss that we've seen thus far is actually revealed to be the biggest former law officer that we've seen thus far. Rumors are that he quit because his occupation title didn't rhyme with "Ross".
Mercury Rev's Snowflake Midnight - In a time where every few threads posted in NMD seem to be discussion-free variants of "Best lyrics?", "How about the worst lyrics?", "Would you fuck Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie if he grew breasts" and "Post the worst song on an 80s hardcore album sung by a vocalist who has a prosthetic limb", I'm happy that there's a thread that has enough information in the original post to start a discussion. I've never listened to Mercury Rev, but maybe you have!
What album/artist best represents a certain era? - This thread is just starting but it looks like it could be one of those interesting music discussions that NMD tries to avoid lately. Somebody might even ask you why you feel the way that you do, and then you must defend your honor in battle. There's still plenty of time to make an extremely obvious observation in one or two lines before swiveling around in your chair to jack off in the mirror!
~*~ Batman's Shameful Secret ~*~

My personal thoughts on the villian Carnage - Most people think that Carnage represents some of the worst eXtRemE-ness of 1990s Spider-Man comics. Jace Madan begs to differ.
Deconstructing MAN-THING - He's not just an empathic muck monster and the guardian of the nexus of all realities. tendrilsfor20 tells us about Man-Thing's use as the perfect second-person storytelling device.

That is what I was thinking, they did it out of necessity. Like living in the woods in the old days, they would tell stories to scare the children from wandering away into the woods of the night. Their fear of their children lost caused them to use fear tactics towards their children. And the reason is because it worked for the majority because their parents did the same thing, and the cycle moves until one goes against the grain and comes up with a new way to be.
Anonymous Coward 32430667
One thing I've been thinking about is a sort of "futuristic/post apocalyptic" vision of the same idea.
What if the children are armed to the teeth with advanced self-defense equipment? Wandering away into the forest in that case would still be dangerous, but not for the same reasons.
What should parents say in that case? If the true danger cannot be effectively communicated?
Azeratel Axo
Or maybe the woods are just dangerous in the dark and those parent's were giving their children a warning of the darkness of night. Perhaps it's not wise to venture into the darkness without proper preparedness, such as armour and a weapon.

Critic's Journal: Gentle Mormon historian wasn't full of himself
U. professor's work was careful like his speaking
Davis Bitton passed away recently after a distinguished, even elegant, career as a historian/professor. He was 77. He grew up in Blackfoot, Idaho, but his super brain decreed that he should be educated at Princeton where he came away with both a master's and a doctorate.
But for an erudite man, he was very gentle.
Shortly after he joined the University of Utah history faculty, I was assigned to be his graduate research assistant. I think I was the first one he ever had because he wasn't quite sure what to do with me so he just sent me to pick up his cleaning and do other mundane chores.
I was impressed that he was not, unlike so many other professors, full of himself. He was soft-spoken, commented in a group only when he had something important to say and he taught his classes the same way.
He gave me one piece of advice that was very strong, especially for him he said, "Don't ever write Mormon history. It will be controversial, and Mormon history is so little regarded nationally that you'll never get a job."
Well, I knew that he already wrote Mormon history even though he was trained as a European historian and wrote books in that specialty so I asked him about it.
"I write Mormon history with my left hand," he said.
He meant that he would always keep that part of his scholarship low key. He wrote several path-breaking articles on Mormon history for Dialogue: Journal of Mormon Thought I especially loved "Anti-intellectualism in Mormon History."
His writing was like his speaking carefully crafted, never verbose. Like Elmore Leonard, the talented crime novelist, he always left out anything the reader might skip over. Although he continued to teach European history until he retired, he steadily accelerated his contributions to Mormon history.
His best friend was Leonard J. Arrington, the first LDS Church historian to be an academic a USU professor in Economics and History whose contributions to Mormon history are legion.
Together, Bitton and Arrington wrote "The Mormon Experience," a highly literary historical work intended to assist the non-Mormon in understanding Mormonism. It was published by a highly respected publishing house Alfred Knopf in New York. Arrington wrote the first legitimate biography probably the definitive biography of Brigham Young, "American Moses," also published by Knopf.
More recently, Bitton wrote the definitive biography of George Q. Cannon, one of Brigham's counselors and one of early Mormonism's most important characters. Bitton was active in the meetings of the Mormon History Association, an organization he helped found in the '60s, often delivering scholarly papers and acting as a perceptive critic for others.
Bitton spent a decade as an assistant LDS Church historian to Arrington what he called in a later article in Dialogue "Ten Years of Camelot," "a brief period of excitement and optimism."
Even though a projected 16-volume history of the LDS Church was killed, Bitton and his associates turned out numerous articles that changed the face of Mormon history.I wonder what else Bitton did with his left hand? Few people knew of his excellence as a classical pianist he seemed always to do everything with just the right touch.
