In June 2011 the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled [JURIST report] that Florida's procedure for imposing the death penalty was unconstitutional. Judge Jose Martinez held [opinion, PDF] that the procedure violates the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial [Cornell LII backgrounder]. An appeal of that case [text, PDF] has been filed with the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Florida had briefly banned the death penalty in December 2006 under Governor Jeb Bush, after the botched execution [JURIST reports] of Angel Diaz. However, in July 2007 Florida Governor Charlie Crist ended the state's temporary moratorium on executions. The reinstatement came before the implementation of recommended changes [JURIST report], which had been suggested by a death penalty commission convened by Bush.
Conducting trials at Guantanamo Bay has stirred controversy recently, as alleged conspirators of both the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the USS Cole bombing are being tried. In September Military Judge James Pohl ruled [JURIST report] that he did not have the authority to allow media to broadcast al-Nashiri's trial. In February Pohl ruled [JURIST report] in al-Nashiri's case that attorney-client mail that was inspected at Guantanamo Bay can not be released by the Pentagon [official website]. Days before that ruling defense lawyers in the case of another Guantanamo detainee filed a suit [JURIST report] challenging the order for officials to read all legal correspondence for suspected 9/11 conspirators.
We have noted with serious concern that the constitutional reform project would expand the jurisdiction of military or police tribunals, giving them the power to investigate, process and decide on cases of human rights violations which should be under the authority of the ordinary criminal justice system. For instance, although the current project stipulates that criminal military justice institutions will not have jurisdiction over crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and the crime of enforced disappearances, this detailed and specific listing of crimes - which would fall outside the ambit of the military justice system - allows other international human rights and humanitarian law crimes to fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of military justice.
This is not the first time the UN has called on Colombia to make reforms affecting their government and military procedures. In August UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people James Anaya [official website] also urged [JURIST report] the government of Colombia to advance its negotiations with indigenous authorities in northern Cauca regarding the military presence in the area, as well as other pressing issues. In December 2011 the representative to Colombia for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) called for a peaceful solution [JURIST report] to the country's ongoing armed conflict involving hostages held by paramilitary rebels. Also, in 2008, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay warned [JURIST report] that Colombia faced continuing human rights struggles, including continued hostage takings, arbitrary arrests, and extrajudicial executions by the military.
Shafiq is one of the many former politicians under Mubarak's regime who are facing corruption charges. In August the former secretary for Mubarak's political party, Safwat El-Sherif, was referred to a criminal court [JURIST report] on corruption charges. He was accused of having abused his office by obtaining real estate at discounted prices and illegally obtaining $49.2 million. In July an Egyptian court rejected pleas to release [JURIST report] Mubarak's two sons while they await trial. Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, along with seven others, were charged [JURIST report] with stock market fraud and using unfair trading practices and illegally manipulating the market. Hosni Mubarak was sentenced to life [JURIST report] after an Egyptian court found him guilty of complicity to kill protesters during the Arab Spring protests [JURIST backgrounder]. During the protests that resulted in the overturning of Mubarak's 30-year regime, Mubarak ordered government officials to use gunfire and other violent measures to subdue protesters, causing more than 850 deaths [JURIST report]. Mubarak's trial ended in February with the chief prosecutor asking the court in his closing remarks to issue a death sentence [JURIST reports] against the former ruler.
Guinea-Bissau has experienced instability, resulting in several coups, since gaining independence from Portugal in 1974. In May the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] called [JURIST report] that anyone who engaged in violent acts relating to the April 12 coup d'etat should be held accountable for their actions. Two weeks after the coup in April the Security Council called for constitutional order in Guinea-Bissau [JURIST report]. The same month UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon [official profile] demanded immediate restoration [JURIST report] of constitutional order in the country. Pillay hoped to prevent another coup when she urged [JURIST report] the people of Guinea-Bissau in March to refrain from any violence during the upcoming election.
The Constitutions are the fundamental expressions of the will of the people acting in their sovereign capacity. Even laws enacted by the legislature and governor, though they may manifest the popular will of their time, are subordinate to them. Even a temporary infringement of fundamental rights of speech and association protected by the Constitutions is an irreparable harm. That infringement becomes all the more substantial when multiplied by the tens of thousands of affected municipal employees (assuming defendants' initial argument that thousands of local governments are affected is correct). Granting a stay would allow that substantial harm to that fundamental public interest to continue.
The Budget Repair Bill has been the subject of copious legal and political controversy since its passage in March 2011. In July the Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to reopen a case challenging the Budget Repair Bill because of a justice's refusal to recuse himself [JURIST report]. The Supreme Court's upholding of the Budget Repair Bill overruled a Dane County Circuit Court's decision [JURIST report] last year that struck down the law for violations of the open meetings rule.
Iranian authorities know full well that executing people for drugs offences is contrary to international human rights standards. Executing Saeed Sedeghi and possibly others in a few hours' time, in Tehran's Evin Prison, will do nothing to solve Iran's ever-growing drugs problem but will inflict needless suffering on Iranian families.
Iran's human rights record has come under international scrutiny recently. In October a UN official on released a report indicating that the government of Iran is torturing human rights activists [JURIST report] and threatening the activists' families with rape or death. In a report to the UN General Assembly UN special rapporteur on human rights in Iran Ahmed Shaheed declared that human rights activists in Iran are being subjected to beatings, mock hangings, sleep deprivation and threats that their family members will be killed or raped. Also in October the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) urged Iran [JURIST report] to halt all executions because the government has failed to provide the accused with fair trials and due process of law. In June three UN Special Rapporteurs condemned [JURIST report] Iran for executing four members of the Ahwazi Arab minority without providing them fair trials.
Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] considers both prisoners of conscience as long as they are detained and has called for their convictions to be overturned [press release]. The pair plan to appeal to the Bahrain Court of Cassation.
Bahrain has faced international criticism for its crackdown against dissidents since anti-government protests began last year. Last week Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] urged Bahrain's court of appeals to overturn [press release] the conviction of human right advocate Nabeel Rajab [JURIST news archive]. HRW contends that there is no evidence of Rajab participating in violence and that his conviction is a violation of his right to peaceful assembly. Earlier this month the Bahrain Court of Cassation upheld jail sentences [JURIST report] for nine medics convicted for their involvement in Bahrain's pro-democracy uprisingAccording to BNA, the medics were working at Salmaniya Medical Complex [official website], and, during the time of the uprising, "took over the complex, detained and imprisoned kidnapped persons, and transformed the hospital to a place of illegal gathering and strikes, in violation of laws." Last month government officials pledged to fulfill [JURIST report] the 158 recommendations included in the UN Universal Periodic Review [materials] regarding human rights abuses against political opposition. HRW called on Bahrain to follow through with their promises, but raised doubts as to whether the government is fully committed to reform.
As CIA and [Government Communications Headquarters] employees are civilians and not "combatants" they are not entitled to the benefit of immunity from ordinary criminal law ... GCHQ employees who assist CIA employees to direct armed attacks in Pakistan are in principle liable under domestic criminal law as secondary parties to murder and that any policy which involves passing locational intelligence to the CIA for use in drone strikes in Pakistan is unlawful. Evidence suggests that drone strikes in Pakistan are being carried out in violation of international humanitarian law, because the individuals who are being targeted are not directly participating in hostilities and/or because the force used is neither necessary nor proportionate. This suggests that there is also a significant risk that GCHQ officers may be guilty of conduct ancillary to crimes against humanity and/or war crimes, both of which are statutory offences under the International Criminal Court Act 2001.
Khan filed a similar suit [Business Insider report] last month in the High Court of the Peshawar [official website] seeking criminal action against perpetrators of the drone strike that killed his father. Unmanned drone strikes have been a contentious legal issue. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit [official website] heard arguments [JURIST report] in September on whether to grant a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) [5 USC § 552] request by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website] to obtain information from the CIA [official website] on its use of unmanned Predator drones. In August UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism Ben Emmerson said that the US government must allow an independent investigation [JURIST report] of the legality of its drone strike policy. In July the Pakistan Ambassador to the US called on the CIA to stop using drone strikes [JURIST report].

News of a heavyweight match-up between Andrei Arlovski and Brett Rogers arrived at Tuesday's press conference for Strikeforce: Shields vs. Lawler in St. Louis, quashing reports that Rogers would face heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem on the event's main card.
Related posts
Strikeforce Director of Public Relations Mike Afromowitz told MMAWeekly.com that the bout had been close to finalized, but a hand injury to Overeem scuttled its possibility.
Afromowitz says the Dutch heavyweight will likely return this summer, likely in August. The promotion is taking a much-needed break in July.
Overeem fought last November in his home country, taking out Gary Goodridge by submission.

Gov. Perry's Red-Hot Bernanke Slam
Gov. Rick Perry scorched the political pot on Tuesday with a red-hot rhetorical attack on Fed-head Ben Bernanke. When asked about the Fed reopening the monetary spigots, Perry said, "If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I don't know what y'all would do to him in Iowa, but we — we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas."
And that wasn't all. In a more controversial slam, Perry said, "Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous — or treasonous — in my opinion." (Italics mine.)
Pretty rough stuff. Very aggressive language. And undoubtedly way too strong. It was poorly received in the financial world.
No, Ben Bernanke is not a traitor. This is a policy dispute; it's not a matter of patriotism.
However, and this is an important however, the rest of Perry's statement suggests that his analysis of Fed policy is right on target. In other words, wrong words, right analysis.
The Texas governor, who by some polls is the new Republican presidential frontrunner, went on to say, "We've already tried this. All it's going to be doing is devaluing the dollar in your pocket. And we cannot afford that."
Well, to me that is exactly right.
Let's take a quick look at Bernanke's QE2 record of pump-priming: The dollar fell 12 percent on foreign-exchange markets. The consumer price index jumped over 5 percent at an annual rate. And the $600 billion cheapening of the greenback led to skyrocketing commodity prices, including oil, gasoline and food. That oil-price shock is one of the principal factors behind the 0.8 percent first-half economic stutter. As a result of the jump in inflation linked to QE2, real consumer incomes slumped badly and consumer spending fell substantially.
Before QE2 the economy was growing about 2.5 percent, even though it was already blunted by numerous tax and regulatory obstacles. But the cheap-dollar oil shock came perilously close to pushing us into recession.
What makes Governor Perry's position even more interesting is his disagreement with former governor Mitt Romney. When I interviewed Mr. Romney this past April, he essentially defended Ben Bernanke and dollar depreciation. "Well, you know, I think Ben Bernanke is a student of monetary policy," Romney said. "He's doing as good a job as he thinks he can do in the Federal Reserve."
Meanwhile, in Tea Party circles on the campaign trail, Mr. Bernanke is a much disliked figure. Rightly or wrongly he is blamed for bailing out Wall Street. Also, many view Bernanke's massive money-creation, along with President Obama's massive federal-stimulus spending, as another failed big-government attempt to revive the economy.
Tea Partiers and many others fervently believe in lower spending, reduced tax burdens and a regulatory rollback to strengthen small businesses and the private economy. They're against Uncle Sam just throwing money at problems.
So in this sense, Governor Perry's red-hot riposte at Bernanke may be shrewd politics, as well as a much-needed defense of stable money.
The former Air Force captain piloted C-130 missions in Central and South America, North Africa and all over Europe. He's a fierce devotee of American exceptionalism and greatness. My hunch is, just like Ronald Reagan, Governor Perry views a collapsing-dollar threat as more evidence of American decline. And he is very much opposed to any of that.

School security tax plan seen as unfair to poor

AUSTIN - If voters approve special taxing districts to fund more school security in Texas, smaller, property-poor districts could wind up relying more on cheaper webcams and less on police officers.

Few Problems During Snowy Commute
Posted: 6:48 AM Feb 8, 2013
Reporter: News 10
Winter Storm Brings Heavy Snow
Drivers seem to be getting into the swing of coping with mid-Michigan's snowy roads. Dispatchers in Ingham, Jackson, Eaton and Clinton counties report no major accidents during this morning's commute. Dispatchers tell News 10 that there have been some slide-offs, but not many. Roads moved a bit slower than normal. The most siginficant report was of a semi-tractor trailer that slid off to the side of the road along I-94 near US-127 shortly after 5AM. The highway there was reduced to one lane. Drivers are still urged to use caution. There are plenty of snowy and icy sections. Road maintenance departments ask drivers to be careful around their plows.

Gehenna shares the wealth at Acheron, 8/10/2012
Though death-doomers Ilsa were forced to bow out due to van issues, Gehenna still destroyed Acheron on Friday (8/10) with assists from North Carolina's Young and In The Way, Cali's Skin Like Iron and Greenpoint grinders Psychic Limb. The show was Gehenna's first appearance in over a decade and the band started it out right, playing the opening notes of Bolt Thrower's "World Eater" before moving into favorites like "83%" which rightfully opened up the pit.
The Gehenna appearance was the first of a few dates on their way to This is Hardcore 2012 (where they were joined by SLI). It was a rare appearance for Young and In The Way who played only two shows over the weekend before heading back south.
Pictures and video from The Acheron are below.

Gehenna at A389 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
For those of you not at This is Hardcore this weekend, tonight's can't miss show at Acheron (8/10) will feature Gehenna, the California crew that hasn't blessed NYC since sharing the stage with Catharsis at CBGB's in 1997 (their set was eventually turned into the Eat, Fight, Fuck. Live At CBGB's split with their tourmates). The band will be joined by North Carolinian gods of hellfire hardcore Young and In The Way, death-doom rollers Ilsa, California's Skin like Iron and NYC troublemakers Psychic Limb. $10 gets you in.
The rest of the weekend has similarly interesting appearances. Saturday (8/11) will see a reunion of Shriner at Gramercy, though across town Tommy's Tavern will host Neo Cons (ex-86 Mentality) along with Swaath, Correspondences and more. And make sure and end your weekend with an appearance from prog-thrash favorites Vektor, who will hit Saint Vitus on Sunday
(8/12, tickets) along with Bezoar (who have a new-ish album) and Soon.
Satan's Satyrs will join Nightbitch, Balam and Syphilitic Lust for a show at Acheron on August 24. Flyer for the show is below. For those unfamiliar with the ripping styles of SS, stream some material below as well!
In other news, the previously discussed Red Fang/Black Tusk tour is a reality, and you can check out all dates below. The band play on Bowery Ballroom on November 11 (tickets) and Saint Vitus on November 12 (tickets).
All suggested shows for the next two weeks are below. What did I miss?

Hooded Menace at Union Pool (more by Fred Pessaro // BBG)
It's been more than a year since Hooded Menace sat atop a stacked bill of Negative Plane, Ilsa and Anhedonist at Union Pool, but I remember it like it was yesterday. It was just one of those shows that sticks with you. Hooded Menace's crawling death-doom was booming, larger-than-life and just plain stunning on that gorgeous June evening.
Hooded Menace's focus was on their then-recent LP Never Cross the Dead but now the Finnish band has a new one: the forthcoming Effigies of Evil LP out via Relapse on September 11. Check out two new tracks from the LP, including "Summoned into Euphoric Madness" which makes its debut here. Both are below.
Speaking of that show at Union Pool, don't miss Ilsa when they team with Gehenna, Young and In The Way, Psychic Limb and Skin Like Iron at Acheron on Friday 8/10.
So far no US dates scheduled for Hooded Menace, but hopefully that will change soon. Until then, stream the two new songs below.

Gehenna at A389 Anniversary 2012 (more by BBG)
Gehenna mixes raw black metal and hardcore with tons of nihilism, and the California band will venture to the East Coast for a string of shows surrounding their appearance at This is Hardcore 2012. Outside of Baltimore dates at A389 anniversary, these shows are a rarity, but thankfully you can look for Gehenna to hit NYC at Acheron on August 10th.
Joining "The Infamous" Gehenna in NYC will be DC death-doomers Ilsa, NYC's Psychic Limb and North Carolina's Young and In The Way (who played the BV/Power of The Riff SXSW Showcase), as part of a rare weekend for the latter. $10 gets you into the show.
Ilsa is preparing to release the new Intoxicantation 12" via A389 Records and you can get the first song to appear from that release, "Deadbeat's Ballad", for free on their recent label sampler. The sampler also has new material from the likes of Sick Fix, Homewrecker, Seven Sisters of Sleep, Vilipend, and many many more.
Speaking of Vilipend, look for the Canadian band to release their new LP Inamorata (which features "Cutting Heartstrings" on that comp) in the coming months. The band has a few tour dates as well, including a pair of stops in NYC: June 9th at ABC No Rio with Hivesmasher, Ramlord and Dead//Beat and August 20th at Lit Lounge.
A listing of all known Gehenna tour dates, plus song streams and videos, are below.

Young and In The Way at BV-SXSW 2012 (more by Greg Cristman)
If your first experience with North Carolina "blackened crust" crew Young and In The Way was at the BV/Power of The Riff SXSW show, you might think that the band is all about blasting their brand of darkness as fast and as evil as (in)humanly possible. Fortunately, YAITW are also concerned with the shadowy spaces in between, as evidenced by "The Gathering", the post-rock influenced closer to V. Eternal Depression. The song unfolds over the course of eleven sorrowful minutes, using horns, acoustic guitars, and ambient noise with nary a distortion pedal in sight.
"The Gathering" has been given the VIP treatment with a new video, viewable for the first time in thios post. Directed by John Bradburn & Andy Paton (93 Million Miles), check out the mesmerizing clip below.
Young and In The Way's previous output, I Am Not What I Am and Amen was recently pacakaged together for a single 2LP release on A389 Records. Order yours via the label. Look for new material to surface in the near future in the form of a split 7" with Withdrawal.

Directly after the mayhem that was our Deathmatch event at Scoot Inn on 3/16 (first set of pictures HERE; more on the way) BrooklynVegan & Power of The Riff/Thrasher took over the Austin venue for an official SXSW showcase. The night portion was headlined by Black Breath (an exclusive SXSW appearance) and featured appearances from Ringworm, All Pigs Must Die, Narrows (who also played the bridge show), KEN Mode, Enabler and Young and In The Way. The overall brutal vibe of the day continued into the night with ripping performances from top to bottom, circle-pitting, and hardcore scream-a-longs.
Young and In The Way's "American Blackened Crust" opened the showcase a bit past 8PM, drawing from black metal in both tendency to blast as well as in symbolism, ferocity and costuming (see the inverted cross of bones). Young and In The Way may be a relatively young band, but they are wise beyond their years in creating dark atmosphere to accompany their taut and razor sharp odes to negativity.
Following YAITW was Enabler, a Milwaukee band that contains members of Harlots and Fall Out Boy (no shit). They draw from the melodic d-beat of bands like Tragedy in their take on crusty hardcore. The band are preparing a new LP All Hail the Void for release in May, so look out for that and make sure to catch them on the road soon.
KEN Mode played only two shows in Austin this year, and thankfully our showcase was one of those. The band's noise-rock meets hardcore aesthetic has always been great, but now with a more stable bass player (Andrew LaCour) it seems that the band has hit its stride on the live stage. LaCour's animated stage antics work well for the band too, adding to the wide-eyed maniacal glances that guitarist/vocalist Jesse Matthewson throws to the audience over his microphone.
On paper, Narrows is a fantastic sounding band; members of Botch, Unbroken, and more collide to form a hardcore supergroup. Thankfully, the reality is as indelible as the concept.... in fact better. Since I saw them kill it at Cake Shop close to two years ago, Narrows have gelled into an entity all its own, a thought cemented with their latest and highly-reccomended release on Deathwish, Painted (out now). As a live band they are similarly amazing; is there anything as pleasing to a hardcore kid as screaming into a microphone along with Dave Verellen?
All Pigs Must Die is similar in concept to Narrows, a "supergroup" comprised of the jaw-dropping sticksman Ben Koller (Converge), the raspy throat of the energetic Kevin Baker (The Hope Conspiracy), guitarist Adam Wentworth (The Red Chord, Bloodhorse) and bassist Matt Woods (American Nightmare, Bloodhorse). While any band with Ben Koller is worth a look just for his jaw-dropping skills behind the kit, APMD rise above that with songwriting and a live show that is similarly impressive in its intensity. Scoot Inn was no exception; these guys rule.
Ringworm has been around almost as long as their fellow Clevo-core natives Integrity (21 vs 24 years!), and its clear that their live show has been honed over time to a fine point. The band's thrash-y hardcore crossover incited circle pits and mosh mayhem during their set, reminding us why the band are veterans of their scene. Amazing live band, and now with Aaron of Keelhaul back in their ranks, they've never sounded better.
Batting clean-up was Black Breath, the Seattle band that fused groovy Swedish death metal with hardcore vocals and aesthetic. They opened their set with personal favorite "Black Sin", and the band's live show is as potent as their LPs. If you've never seen Black Breath then please do so right away.... word is they may be on the road in the near future. One of my major highlights of the weekend.
I'd like to thank all of the bands that killed it at Scoot Inn on 3/16, the staff at Scoot Inn for being so helpful/accomodating, my partners for this show in Power of The Riff and Thrasher, and most importantly everyone who showed up to support the show and the bands and to have a good time.

Integrity & Pulling Teeth @ A389 Anniversary
After Weekend Nachos played Sonar's smaller stage on Saturday, the party then moved to the larger stage, where Young and In The Way played their blackened-crust on a candle-lit stage. Black Metal aesthetics and a taut set made YAITW's performance one of my favorites of the day. Make sure and check out the band's new LP V: Eternal Depression, as well as their forthcoming 2LP Amen/I Am Not What I Am compilation due on the label this week.
Junior Bruce, featuring Scott Angelacos of Bloodlet on vocals, played stoner-doom which was a perfect lead-in to the great Seven Sisters of Sleep. The latter, who played Friday at Acheron (pictures on the way), play sludgy-hardcore and ripped out an excellent set of mid-paced pummeling. The always dependable Magrudergrind helped speed things up directly afterword.
Pulling Teeth played their final show after Magrudergrind, and had the crowd bouncing around and singing along to their set. Vocalist Mike Riley spent the final two songs bouncing between the stage and the crowd, as his backing band played material from across their output, including latter works like "From Birth" and "At Peace" from their latest LP Funerary. It's always sad to see a band of that caliber go away, but at least the Baltimore quintet does it with style and grace. Check out my interview with Dom of Pulling Teeth that we posted last week.
The caustic-negativity was ratched up for Gehenna, who played their black-metal-infused hardcore to a somewhat quieter audience. Mike Apocalypse staggered across the stage like a wide-eyed madman for the duration of their set, which seemingly confounded those looking to do some good old-fashioned moshing.
Integrity's metallic hardcore followed Gehenna, closing with the unfuckwithable trifecta of "Vocal Test" into "Hollow" into "Micha: Those Who Fear Tomorrow". The night at Sonar ended with Eyehategod, who dipped into all of the old classics for their set, as well as their "new" song "New Orleans is The New Vietnam" (which they have been playing for a few years now).
Overall, a great night with my personal highlights of the evening being Young and In The Way, Pulling Teeth, Weekend Nachos, Gehenna, Full of Hell, and Integrity. One final note... as much as I love Eyehategod both live and on record (a lot), the band is in desparate need of some new material... its been 12 long-years since Confederacy of Ruined Lives and they definitely have some creative-life left in them (see Soilent Green, Down, the recent Kill Life flexi and Mike's work in noise music, Hawg Jaw, Outlaw Order, Arson Anthem, etc).
Pictures from the first part of the day are HERE. The rest of the pictures from Saturday's A389 Anniversary show, aka everything mentioned above, are below...

Weekend Nachos
A389 Records descended upon Sonar in Baltimore on January 21st with sixteen bands, hailing from from places like Belgium and Canada, and all over the US. The 9+ hour show was headlined by Eyehategod and included repeat A389 Anniversary offenders Integrity, Gehenna, and Seven Sisters of Sleep. It featured bands, that while rooted in hardcore, dipped their toes into crust, powerviolence, grind, doom, sludge and everywhere in between.
The first portion of the show took place on the smaller stage at Sonar, where Eddie Brock kicked off the evening followed by Homewrecker featuring fill-in bassist Joe Yanick of Masakari. John Hoffman of Weekend Nachos (who is touring with Homewrecker, and recently played ABC No Rio) and Dylan Walker of Full of Hell both dropped in to do vocals for Homewrecker.
Hatewaves, which features members of Pulling Teeth and Triac, followed the pair, opening their set with an appropriately absurd announcement: "Direct from a supporting slot from Don Ho, you wanted the second best, you got the second best... Hatewaves."
The crew deals in ridiculous lyrics over brutally fast hardcore, and delivered on both fronts despite an absurdly short-and-to-the-point set. Triac's blistering grind followed Hatewaves.
Low Places, who were a bit loose at times, played following Triac and pounded the crowd with their negative hardcore, eventually trashing the stage before Full of Hell got on. Full of Hell's noise-peppered hardcore brutality was the first set of the day to get the crowd really moving.
Pick Your Side, a new project featuring Jeff of Haymaker/Left for Dead/Chokehold and two members of Fuck The Facts, followed Hatewaves, and by the end of the second song Beckmann had already incited a pit and stage-dived. The band is prepping to release their new LP Let Me Show You How Democracy Works on A389, but had a select set of the LPs with special screened covers at the show.
Weekend Nachos batted clean-up on the small stage, which was packed to capacity by the time they took the stage. Possibly the most violent pit of the day, the Chicago crew had plenty of stage dives and singalongs to go along with their uber-brutal set.
The party then moved to the larger stage. More on that (with pictures) HERE. More pictures of everything mentioned above, below...

Midnight at Rites of Darkness (more by BBG)
2011 was a year that I spent delving deep into record bins, in the pit at shows, and searching for the most brutal of the brutal at festivals across the country including Maryland Deathfest, Chaos in Tejas, Rites of Darkness, SXSW, the A389 Anniversary show, California Discord Fest, and many others. It was also a year when I revisited my hardcore roots, and went further down the rabbit hole with DIY shows and independent records.
2011's choices for best of the year were tougher than I could have imagined, as opposed to my clear cut 2010 choice for favorite album of the year. That said, favorite records are about playability, and these are the LPs that wore out my needle and earned the most plays on my digital device (note: I made sure to remove a record that I was directly involved in because that would clearly be near the top of the list). I hope you enjoyed these records as much as I did in 2011 and if not, please share what you enjoyed below. I already can't wait for 2012.
My favorite records and shows of 2011 are below.

Young And In The Way (photo by Reid Haithcock)
Young and In The Way have barely three years behind them, and already have logged two EPs and as many LPs, in addition to a split 7". The North Carolinian blackened crust band are now preparing to release another record with V.Eternal Depression, a limited edition 12" which is available for purchase TODAY (12/2) via Antithetic and streaming below in full.
Choirs, blackened shrieks, dark ambiance, tribal drums and an escalating feeling of dread dot the new EP which recalls moments of Wolves in The Throne Room, later Neurosis, and recent fare like Amenra. But all of that is an aside to the blunt-force trauma that is this band at full speed; think Cursed, Rot in Hell, Pulling Teeth, or any hardcore/crust band that dares to flirt with the darkside.

Video: Mike Francesa went on a glorious 30 minute rant about golf
Golf rants aren't something you see every day in sports talk radio. Outside of Tiger Woods and maybe the four majors golf isn't something that necessarily moves the needle. But when you have Mike Francesa ranting like a madman for 30 minutes over a golfer laying up, we have sports talk radio magic!
It all started when Francesa busted Patrick Reed, winner at Doral in the World Golf Championships event this weekend, for proclaiming himself to be one of the top five golfers in the world and laying up on the 18th hole with a two shot lead. Francesa's thesis was overly simple and obviously flawed - if Reed is really a top five player, he should be hitting a wood off the tee instead of an iron.
Reed's strategy turned out to be incredibly smart. By laying up with a 3-iron off the tee and a 2 shot lead, Reed made an easy 2-putt bogey for the win. That's what it's all about isn't it? Why it matters whether he hit an iron or a wood for his tee shot is such a bizarre argument to have for 30 minutes, even for the most hardcore golfing aficionado, let alone a prominent sports talk radio host. But don't let that stop the sports pope for going on an insane rant about course management!!!!!!!

Title | Oral history with Devane Dorman; 7-26-2012 |
Description | Oral history; interview with Clarence Devane Dorman, conducted on July 26, 2012, at Mr. Dorman's home in Starkville, Mississippi. Mr. Dorman was born in 1930 in Lansing, Michigan, and died on October 18, 2012, at his home in Starkville. He came to Starkville and Oktibbeha County in 1935 when his father was hired at Mississippi State University. He first came to Mississippi State to work at the age of 12, mostly field labor for the agronomy department, which was then headquartered in Lloyd-Ricks. During his academic career, he and his mother graduated from the same class with Bachelor's degrees in 1953 – his being in Agriculture. He also earned an additional Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 1968. Also in 1953, Dorman served for two and a half years as an Army Aviator during the Korean War and was stationed in Nuremburg, Germany. Beginning his career at one of Starkville's prominent banks in 1957, he retired from 37 years of service there as Vice President. His father, Dr. Robert Clarence Dorman, is the namesake of Mississippi State University's Dorman Hall. Here, Devane sheds some light on the man whose name is commemorated on this important building in the Agricultural College. Dorman grew up on the MSU campus and has many memories of it, as he, his father, and his mother all worked for and received degrees from Mississippi State. He also reflects on some of the well-known and influential people who worked and taught many years ago in the Lloyd-Ricks Building. |

Do high yielding soybeans need to be fertilized with N?
Are higher yielding soybeans running short on N? Do they need additional N fertilizer to ensure they are properly fed? Recently, a group of scientists at University of Nebraska examined 108 published scientific studies on this topic to see if any trends could be discovered. Soybean yields in the studies ranged from 9 to 88 bu/A, and averaged 40 bu/A. Here are a few of their findings.
Soybean N requirements. The above-ground portion of a soybean plant takes up, on average, about 4.72 lb N/bu. This means that a 40 bu/A crop takes up about 189 lb N/A, while an 88 bu/A crop takes up about 415 lb N/A. The average concentration of N in the seed was found to be 6.34%. This works out to be 3.3 lb N/bu. So that same 40 bu/A crop will remove 132 lb N/A from the field at harvest, while the 88 bu/A crop will remove 290 lb N/A.
Sources of N for soybean uptake. Soybeans get their N from three sources: 1) N2 fixation by Bradyrhizobium, 2) nitrate and ammonium in the soil, and 3) fertilizer N. The studies showed that on average, 50 to 60% of the N in soybeans comes from N2 fixation. Normally, the remainder comes from the N in the soil. The maximum amount of N2 that can be fixed was considered by the authors of the review to be 300 lb N/A. When fertilizer N is applied, it can reduce the amount of N2 fixation. This reduction is exponential. The first 45 lb N/A can reduce maximum N fixation to
about 190 lb N/A. Applying 90 lb N/A can reduce it to 125 lb N/A.
Soybean response to fertilizer N. Information about soybean response to N fertilization was reported in 67 of the 108 studies. Positive responses to N fertilization occurred in about half of them. The average yield response was 8 bu/A. A slightly higher average response of 10 bu/A occurred when low rates of N (less than 45 lb N/A) were applied after growth stage R3 (beginning pod). Typically, seasonal N demand peaks after this stage. When a subset of 12 studies with soybean yields greater than 67 bu/A was examined, 9 of the studies (75 percent) responded positively to N fertilization. The authors concluded that in high yielding environments, fixed N and soil N supplies may not be great enough to meet the N demands of the plant, increasing the probability that soybean may respond to N fertilization.
Conditions favoring soybean response to N. High yielding environments may have a greater chance of responding to fertilizer N, but at lower yields, there are still several situations the authors listed where responses to N were more likely. These included poor establishment of the nodule system, extremely low soil N supplies at planting, plant water stress, soil pH problems, low soil temperature, or an absence of native Bradyrhizobium resulting from a cropping history with infrequent or no legumes.
So do high yielding soybeans need to be fertilized with N? The answer appears to be that they might, but the yield response may only be marginally profitable. When soybean prices outpace the price of N, profitability is more likely, but such a window is usually not long-lasting. Therefore, N fertilization of soybeans still carries a financial risk even under high yielding environments. Local trials can help determine whether or not the practice makes sense in individual situations.
Equipment Directory
Soybean response to applied N is dependent on length of growing season with a significant probability of response at higher latitudes (~>43N) or high altitude (~>1000 ft). See Wortmann, C.S., C.A. Shapiro, R. Ferguson, and M.Mainz. 2012. Irrigated soybean has a small response to nitrogen applied during early reproductive growth. J. Crop Manage. http://www.plantmanagementnetwork.org/sub/cm/research/2012/nitrogen/
Yes. Some nitrogen applied on cornstalks in the fall (http://www.aglabs.com/pdfs/residue-decomposition.pdf) and 100 lbs. of Ammonium Sulfate broadcast in the spring. This is not a lot of nitrogen but it is enough for the plants to get off to a good start before the bacteria do their job once the plants are established. ~Jon.

What Is a 1099-G Tax Form?
If you received a 1099-G Form this year from a government agency, you may need to report some of the information it contains on your tax return. The most common use of the 1099-G is to report unemployment compensation as well as any state or local income tax refunds you received that year.
You must pay taxes on any unemployment compensation from your state government. Box 1 of the 1099-G Form shows your total unemployment compensation payments for the year. Regardless of whether you file a 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ, the form includes a separate line for unemployment compensation in the income section. You must report the amount from box 1 on this line, but it is not necessary to attach the 1099-G to your tax return.
When you receive a refund, offset, or credit of state or local income tax, that amount appears in box 2 of the 1099-G form. However, you don't necessarily have to report this amount on your federal tax return or pay additional taxes. You only need to report it if you took a deduction for paying those taxes in a prior year. Box 3 of the form will indicate the relevant tax year.
Suppose your state requires your employer to withhold state income taxes from your salary and wages. If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A instead of taking the standard deduction, the IRS allows you to deduct the state income taxes you paid.
In many cases, however, the total amount of state income tax withheld will exceed the amount of tax you're actually responsible for paying. For example, suppose $5,000 is withheld from your 2013 wages for state income tax. After preparing your state income tax return, you find you only owe $3,500. The state should send you a refund of $1,500 in 2014. However, let's say you prepared your 2013 federal income tax return and took a deduction for state income taxes of $5,000. When you prepare your 2014 tax return, you'll need to report the $1,500 refund as income since the deduction you took in the prior year was too much.
If in the previous year you chose to deduct state and local sales tax instead of state income tax on your Schedule A, or chose the standard deduction, it is not necessary to report the amounts in box 2 since these state taxes would not be refunded by your state or local government. If box 8 of your 1099-G is checked, it indicates the amounts reported in box 2 relate to a trade or business you operate.
There are nine other boxes on the form that may have show amounts or other information. Boxes 4, 10a, 10b and 11 report information about the federal, state and local income taxes withheld from any government payments you received. Box 5 reports certain trade adjustments. Box 6 shows any taxable grants you receive from government agencies, and box 7 shows any payments you receive from the Department of Agriculture. Box 9 shows the market gain on certain types of loans only available to farmers.
TurboTax will guide you through selecting the correct information from Form 1099-G.

DR. JÖRGEN VIJGEN holds academic appointments in Medieval and Thomistic Philosophy at several institutions in the Netherlands.
His dissertation, "The status of Eucharistic accidents 'sine subiecto': An Historical Trajectory up to Thomas Aquinas and selected reactions," was written under the direction of Fr. Walter Senner, O.P. at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome, Italy. The dissertation consists of an historical examination of the philosophical principles and arguments used by Thomas Aquinas, his predecessors and a selected number of his contemporaries to defend the philosophical possibility of Eucharistic accidents inhering 'sine subiecto' after transubstantiation and the mode in which these Eucharistic accidents subsist.
Edgardo Colón-Emeric is Assistant Research Professor of Theology and Hispanic Studies and director of the Hispanic House of Studies at Duke Divinity School.
He is an ordained elder in the North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church where he serves as associate pastor of Reconciliation UMC, a bilingual, multicultural congregation.
Perfection in Dialogue: An Ecumenical Encounter between Wesley and Acquinas. Directed by Professor Reinhard Huetter.
Methodists and Catholics have enjoyed almost forty years of ecumenical dialogue. From the beginning of these conversations, both sides were pleased to discover a certain spiritual kinship: sanctification lay at the heart of both their soteriologies. However, in spite of this harmony of wills with respect to the goal of the Christian life, the doctrine of Christian perfection or "perfect love", as Wesley preferred to call it, has not been the subject of sustained ecumenical inquiry. In light of the continuing need for ecumenical rapprochement, this dissertation studies the doctrine of perfection as taught by John Wesley and Thomas Aquinas. A close reading of the chief texts by these two theologians, in critical conversation with their respective interpretive traditions, yields important ecumenical insights. First, this dissertation underscores the centrality of the concept of perfection for both Aquinas's and Wesley's theologies. Perfection is the organizational principle of the Summa Theologiae and Wesley's missiological imperative. Moreover in their exposition of this doctrine, both Wesley and Aquinas emphasize some of the same common elements: the importance of beatitude, the centrality of love, the universality of the call to perfection, the importance of the life of the virtues and the social character of holiness. Second, in light of these convergences, this dissertation proposes that the respective theological approaches of Aquinas and Wesley are largely complementary. Aquinas offers Methodists the speculative theological principles that Wesley considered to fall outside "practical divinity" and hence never developed. Wesley offers Catholics another practitioner of perfection next to the likes of St. John of the Cross who applies the speculatively practical theology of Thomas Aquinas in a practically practical way, a way leading not up Mount Carmel to a life of contemplation but down the plain to a life of action. Finally, perhaps the most important conclusion of this dissertation is the claim that a generous reception of the teaching of Aquinas and Wesley on perfection offers the Church catholic a grammar of holiness which empowers the practice of a "kneeling ecumenism" that both affirms and recognizes the ecclesial significance of sanctity.
Dr. Canty teaches courses in historical theology and church history at Saint Xavier University. His current research focuses on the development of medieval Christology, eschatology, and scriptural exegesis. He completed his doctoral dissertation on "The Transfiguration of Christ among the Early Franciscans and Dominicans" in 2006. His most recent publication is "Bonventurian Resonances in Benedict XVI's Theology of Revelation" in Nova et Vetera, a journal aimed at enhancing and promoting Catholic theology.
The Transfiguration of Christ among the Early Franciscans and Dominicans.
Directed by the eminent Thomistic scholar Joseph P. Wawrykow at the University of Notre Dame, The Transfiguration of Christ among the Early Dominicans covers the period between 1230 and 1275 and includes analysis of the works of seven theologians: Alexander of Hales, OFM, Hugh of St. Cher, OP, Guerric of St. Quentin, OP, John of La Rochelle, OFM, Albert the Great, OP, Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, OFM, and Thomas Aquinas, OP. These theologians found in the transfiguration of Christ an occasion to address such central theological topics as the role of the triune God in salvation history, the relationship between Christ's divinity and humanity, the Church, and the end-times. In their writings on Christ's transfiguration, these theologians employed several varieties of scholastic discourse, including the sermon and biblical commentary, as well as the summa, the commentary on Peter Lombard's Sentences, and the disputed question. Professor Canty's historical study constitutes a significant contribution to the theology of Christ and salvation.
Associate professor of theology. He has previously taught at Aquinas College in Nashville, TN. His publications and research cover various areas of theological interest including christology, sacramental and liturgical theology, the theology of Charles Cardinal Journet, and the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas.
His publications have appeared in Nova et Vetera, English Edition, Louvain Studies, Communio, Gregorianum, The Josephinum Journal of Theology, and Angelicum.
Dr. Nutt is a member of the Editorial Board of the quarterly journal Antiphon: A Journal for Liturgical Renewal, which is a publication of the Society for Catholic Liturgy. He holds the degrees of B.E.S. from St. Cloud State University, M.A. in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University, and S.T.B., S.T.L., and S.T.D. from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome.
Christus Sacerdos et Mediator: Thomistic Christology and Vatican II's Call for Theological Renewal.
This study contributes to the discipline of theology by establishing deeper points of contact between Aquinas's sacra doctrina and the integrated vision of theology articulated by the Council, and it does so by more fully developing the intricacies and implications of Aquinas's theology of Christ as priest and mediator, and the conclusions that follow from this understanding. In the first chapter the nature of the renewal in the teaching of theology called for by the Second Vatican Council is examined. Once the teaching of the Council is established, the relation between this vision and the integrated nature of Aquinas's theology is presented. The second chapter fully treats Aquinas's theology of Christ's priesthood and mediation. This consideration moves from a brief discussion of historical issues and the question of satisfaction theory to a presentation of the nature and effects of Christ's priesthood, priestly sacrifice, and mediation according to Aquinas. The third chapter builds upon the general foundation laid in the second to explain the importance that Christ's mediation has relative to the New Law and the life of supernatural grace. This chapter demonstrates how Aquinas's understanding of Christ's priesthood and mediation, which he wrought in his human nature, is the foundation of the Christian moral life, and is continued through the sacramental nature of the Church and the seven sacraments of the New Law. The fourth and final chapter of this work takes a few of the basic principles of Aquinas's understanding of Christ as priest and mediator and places them in dialogue with the use of these terms in Fr. Jacques Dupuis's theology of religious pluralism.

This is a classy and unique bracelet. I just love the way it falls on my wrist and it has a perfect contrast between the silver/diamonds and the black. I am constantly admiring this bracelet when I am wearing it. This bracelet would be an awesome gift, altho I kept mine for myself and could not muster up the generosity to give it to someone for Christmas. Mine, mine, mine!! And, I'm not planning on giving it away either.
I purchase this for my daughter who is very picky on whats she wears. When I gave it to her I was prepared for the "Oh thanks mom." And what I got was "Wow, this is really pretty, thanks Mom!" And she wore it to work the next day. Score one for Overstock and one for Mom.
You won't be sorry if you get this bracelet. It is absolutely lovely.
The bracelet is nice and cute design, it goes well with my matching ring. Thanks.
When I saw this bracelet on your website decided just had to have it because it was so beautiful. Ordered one for myself and decided to order another for my daughter in law because it was her birthday. I love mine and she was ecstatic with hers. Looks extremely expensive and have had many compliments about mine.
Ive just started ordering some things from Overstock. Just got this black buckle bracelet, and I LOVE it. It doesnt feel flimsy and has a lock that holds. Plus it just shiny and so pretty! Ive been price matching also. And there is usualy no comparison. Im checking HERE for anything I want fron now on out. Thanks Overstock! Im excited to get my new 1 carat black diamond engagement ring! Asap PLEASE! Lol
I bought these for two of my sisters for Christmas. They looked very nice on them and I wish I had gotten one for myself. Very versatile bracelet that could be worn with a number of outfits. The clasp on one of them was very sticky and hard to open. I hope it loosens up over time and does not give out. Other than that, great!
I would order from you again. I was very satisfied with the product that was sent to me. and the person that received it enjoyed it very much.
I bought this as a present for my sister-in-law. Once it arrived I wish I would have bought one for myself! I fell in love with the bracelet. I love the clasp that holds it together. The diamonds in the buckle are small, but, look at the price your are paying - let's keep it realiastic. (sorry for the bad spelling). I think it is a unique bracelet and looks great on anyone. I can not speak about the longjevity of it as I did give it away as a gift. But, I will stress that it is beautiful. Merry Christmas!!!
This is a Christmas gift and I know she will really be excited to have it match her set

Microsoft has pulled the trigger on a deal that will see them acquire corporate social network Yammer in an effort to keep pace with other similar offerings. As rumors earlier this month suggested, Microsoft has agreed to pay $1.2 billion for the four-year-old start-up founded by former PayPal chief operating officer David Sacks, who will remain with the company as chief executive officer.
Yammer, sometimes referred to as the Facebook or Twitter of the business world, was originally conceived with the idea that employees could post a short description of a project they were working on for others in the company to follow and offer ideas. It has since evolved to include a wider range of social networking features to facilitate file sharing, knowledge exchange and team efficiency. The service boasts around 5 million users spanning more than 200,000 companies worldwide.
Salesforce.com, Google, Oracle and SAP all have extensive corporate social network offerings and it's clear that Microsoft wants to compete. Trip Chowdhry from Global Equities Research believes that Microsoft is too late to the social party, noting that it's impossible to get into a leadership position by imitating the leaders. He feels that Redmond will have a tough time trying to catch Salesforce.com and Oracle, both of which have beefed up their offerings in recent years.
Regardless, Jive CEO Tony Zingale feels that the acquisition solidifies the idea of corporate social networking and will likely lead to it becoming a must-have business tool.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I think there's more to this acquisition than what most people think. Or at least that's what I hope, since 1.2 billion dollars a is a lot of money to just play catch up. Something tells me there really was a very good reason for the purchase.
Seems like microsoft could have saved a billion dollars by adding a forum feature to Sharepoint. What a waste.
It's almost as if Microsoft is just gobbling up other companies at this point just to stay afloat (if that makes sense). To me it seems as if they're running out of ideas so they are buying out others to try and keep up.
Wow.. that's interesting.. windows 8 and yammer...could they break Facebook? As bling a partner with... :/
I like this and really hope that a big company like microsoft can use their resources to promote the benefits of "social" networking tools in the work place.
My last and current job have both been for FTSE 100 companies and as they're both quite "old" (both literally and in leadership attitude towards this sort of thing), neither have anything like yammer. Just good old email/phone/IM. Feels like a missed opportunity, I hope they catch on soon.
"social networking" is getting old. Too late M$
