Searching for Common Ground: Interactive Agency in Heterodox Economics
AbstractThe individual, economic agent has antecedents and consequences that shape her perceptions of the world, in other words, form the individual's mental models. Furthermore, the individual is a totality of mental models, which shape perception and influence the selection of relevant models to apply to data and interpret input. The influence of mental models therefore directly influences the degree of agency the individual is able to exercise. Moreover, whatever assumptions are made regarding the degree of agency an individual possesses informs the theoretical structure from which any approach to economics is built. This paper seeks to examine and compare the role of agency in heterodox economic thought and proposes that the theme of the individual might well serve as a missing link between otherwise disparate groups of thought.

The most tenured coach at the University of Louisville might not find joining a new athletic conference so special. But for tennis coach Rex Ecarma, the Cardinals' move is a moment to celebrate.
Ecarma has been at Louisville for 23 seasons, battling the competition in four different conferences, which now becomes five as the Cardinals officially join the Atlantic Coast Conference. The long journey to big-time status is complete.
Ecarma's experience at Louisville reflects the evolution — some might say turmoil — in college sports over the past two decades or more. Gone are tradition-bound leagues that generally defined a region of the country. They've been replaced by five so-called power conferences — the Pac-12, Big Ten, Big 12, Southeastern Conference and ACC.
Twelve teams have adopted new conference affiliations this summer. As Louisville moves to the ACC, the Big Ten adds Maryland and Rutgers. East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa are new members of the American Athletic Conference. Western Kentucky and Old Dominion go to Conference USA. Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Idaho and New Mexico State join the Sun Belt Conference.
Regional affinity has been tossed aside in favor of a new identity that favors large television markets that fuel athletic departments with untold amounts of cash. For instance, Maryland stands to rake in an extra $100 million over the next five years from the Big Ten's lucrative network contract.
Here's one indicator of how fast things have changed: The venerable Big Ten conference now has 14 teams, but the same name.
The whirlwind of conference expansion will likely never end, but there's sure to be a pause in the frenetic growth of recent years. Today's league members are locked into long-term television packages, which contain prohibitive financial consequences for those wanting out. Checkmate.
In years to come the Big 12 seems to be the only major conference ripe for growth. The great league from the heartland now has 10 teams. There are open spots but not an openness by the league to consider expansion — at least for now.

New poll out on the mood of Tennesseans
Collective bargaining for teachers. Two-thirds of those responding said they oppose the cutting back of collective bargaining. A third support the change.
Teacher tenure. The legislature increased the time from three to five years before public school teachers can receive tenure. Only about a third of those polled believe the move will improve the quality of education in the state, while slightly more than half believe it will have no effect or weaken the quality of education.
Wine sales in grocery stores. About two-thirds of Tennesseans favored having wine in grocery stores. And even when reminded the change might harm small businesses, a clear majority of Tennesseans still favored the change.
Tort reform. Those polled were about equally split on the act that Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law June 16, with some believing the law was needed to save money and create jobs, and nearly the same percentage saying it was unfair to seriously injured people. The law caps at $750,000 the amount a person could receive from a jury for pain and injury. -- Much more.
Here's full coverage of the Vanderbilt/Tennessean poll.

In a possible over-reaction to the return of Run to the Beat this weekend, I've fled. See you in October. Unless I send you a postcard, that is.
(PS. If you use Sainsbury's in Greenwich, there's some interesting news over here…)
Woolwich Grand Theatre gets go-ahead from council
A rare bit of good news for Woolwich – plans to convert the old cinema/nightclub building on Wellington Street into an arts centre got planning permission from Greenwich Council last night.
The building's been empty for a few years following the closure of the N'Tyce club there, which succeeded infamous 80s/90s venue Flamingos (or, as we called it, Flaming Joe's).
The Woolwich Grand Theatre scheme involves using it as a cinema and theatre, with a weekly arts market each Saturday. Founder and director Adrian Green is hoping to open up with a cafeteria first – although may need to sort out a further licence before he can do this.
I've been inside and while many of the old fittings were ripped out during its nightclub days, the plan is to restore the building, which was as an ABC cinema until the 1980s, to its 1950s glory. The old projector's still there, but for now there'll be small screenings of classic films, like you'll find at film clubs in Deptford and Brockley.
Woolwich has lacked a performance venue since the 1970s and 1980s heyday of the Tramshed, and its last cinema – the Coronet – closed in the 1990s. There's already a number of people with their eyes on the stage.
If Woolwich is ever to get back on its feet, it needs an independent focus for the community, and it looks like it's going to get that. I'm looking forward to following the progress Adrian makes with the project.
Carry on camping – the Dutch get set to sail into Greenwich
Champagne and a photocall – this doesn't look like an event which has just had its licence refused, does it? Peninsula Festival organisers say they still hope to host an event in Greenwich to coincide with the Olympics, even though the council's licensing board threw out the proposals on Wednesday.
The chaps in the tent, by the way, are Oranjecamping founder Jokko de Wit and Greenwich Council cabinet member for culture John Fahy.
"It's a process," festival organiser Frank Dekker said at Thursday's launch of Sail Royal Greenwich, a sister event which will see around 20 tall ships sail up and down the Thames between Woolwich Arsenal and Tower Bridge. We got taken for a ride around the peninsula on De Wylde Swan, and very nice it was too.
Trips on the ships are mainly aimed at corporates, and there's no doubt these will go like hot cakes. It's all based around the hugely popular Sail Amsterdam event, while you can also see what to expect from this gallery of Sail Waterford. Cllr Fahy said he was "blown away" by a trip to Sail Amsterdam, as crowds thronged the quaysides to get a glimpse of the ships.
But the campsite is a big part of these plans – as well as an orange double-decker, which took Dutch fans across South Africa during last summer's football World Cup, and yesterday took a group of us down to the patch of land just north of Sainsburys where part of the campsite will be.
"This will be the biggest Oranjecamp by far," said Jokko De Wit. The first one was in Portugal for the Euro 2004, when 1,000 Dutch fans camped out and followed their side.
Now they are expecting 4,000 for Oranjecamping's first Olympics, in a variety of mostly pre-built tents from luxury en suitetents to dorm-style accomodation, although with a small area (right next to the Southern Way bus lane) where others can pitch their own. "It's always been our dream to come to an Olympics," he said, adding he was approached by Greenwich Council a year and a half ago in Rotterdam. Pitches have already gone on sale – despite the licence knockback – and it's expected up to 80% percent of visitors will be Dutch. They are also hoping to close the roads surrounding the site – which is divided by West Parkside and Peartree Way – while the camp is open.
"We want the world to see how hospitable Greenwich is, and how friendly the Dutch can be when they come to a tournament," Jokko de Wit said, adding that he hoped to lay grass on the site by the end of the year.
Organisers are not peturbed by the failure of their licence application. "There will be next steps," Sail Greenwich director Paulus Mooyman told the press, although none of the organisers would be drawn on whether there would be an appeal.
It's pretty clear that they are determined to get their campsite at a minimum, even if it doesn't have an alcohol licence. But they also want to make sure campers have something to do nearby – and here's what the Oranjecampers in South Africa got up to…
Olympics fans won't be as rowdy as football fans can be. But there's a big bridge to be crossed between Oranjecamping's vision of the Peninsula as a party destination next summer, and Greenwich Millennium Village residents who fear their lives will be turned upside down by this. Criticism from police will also have to be addressed.
Meanwhile, a planning application for the beach at Delta Wharf – which also saw its licence refused on Wednesday – has gone in.
The tall ships will definitely come to Greenwich – but as for the rest of the Dutch festival? It'll be interesting to see what actually does emerge from the Peninsula plans – and the closer you live to the campsite, the closer you'll probably be watching what happens next.
Peninsula Festival refused licences by Greenwich Council
In a way, it's a major shock. But if you were in Woolwich Town Hall yesterday, it'll come as no surprise at all.
Greenwich Council's licensing committee has refused permission for the four Peninsula Festival licences – meaning no beach, no 20,000-capacity gigs, no campsite, and no "business lounge" on the Greenwich Peninsula during next summer's Olympics.
Early publicity for the event had carried the council's logo, as part of its Greenwich Festivals initiative, and cabinet member for culture John Fahy had been a vocal supporter of the event.
Indeed, festival organiser Frank Dekker is renting space from Greenwich Council in offices it is leasing at Mitre Passage, at the top of the peninsula, and in an interview with this website earlier this year had spoken warmly of the expertise the council had made available to him.
But John Fahy's colleagues, acting in a strict legal capacity, found the application desperately short of detail. In truth, the whole process was dead ten minutes into yesterday's six-hour hearing, when counsel for the Metropolitan Police laid into the plans for a 20,000-capacity stage area opposite homes on John Harrison Way, for providing a lack of information on just how this would all work.
When barrister Adam Clemens explained that the Met's facility for dealing with suspicious vehicles was to be right next to the stage area, you could see the wheels start to fall off this plan. What if the police did intercept a car bomb on the site? How would the crowd be evacuated? Without any answers, he said, there could be no backing from the police.
Proceedings continued in a similiar vein all day. A representative from Peninsula Festival contractor G4S said he couldn't tell councillors about the security plans for, well, security reasons. As one objector pointed out during the afternoon, they may as well have packed up after the police put their foot down, and saved everyone's time and money.
Those directly affected, residents of the Greenwich Millennium Village plus their neighbours across the Thames, made their voices known in great numbers – even if most couldn't make a daytime hearing. The presence of a senior Tower Hamlets councillor – opposition leader Peter Golds – added weight to cross-river objections that may otherwise have been overlooked.
But internal strains in the Peninsula Festival organisation also scuppered the scheme. There were disagreements with the Greenwich Yacht Club which meant it was unclear just what councillors were being asked to approve.
But it was problems with the concert area which seemed to scupper the whole thing. The application for the concert area was originally for a 45,000-capacity arena in the name of Kilimanjaro Live, the firm behind the Sonisphere and Wakestock festivals and a sister company to O2 Arena owner AEG. The idea was to hold gigs while the O2 was out of commission during the Olympics.
But with the drop in capacity, Kilimanjaro boss Stuart Galbraith. pulled out. LOCOG's representative said he only heard the news at 5.45pm the night before the hearing. That's the Olympics organisers who were said to be working closely with the Peninsula Festival. They wouldn't back it either. Nor did Transport for London, worried about making too many demands of the Jubilee Line. With a supposedly neutral sound report making comments about a "once in a lifetime" event, councillors weren't impressed.
So how did we end up here? Why did the council get tangled up with this? There was a genuine desire to find something to liven up the Greenwich area during an Olympics lockdown that will see many attractions closed, and to capitalise on any feelgood factor generated by the games. With few plans for big screens where people can see the action taking place in a shut-off Greenwich Park and other venues, many people will miss an event that they could have enjoyed while the capital is turned on its head for the Olympics.
It may well be that the authorities simply weren't willing to countenance anything to put additional strain on a stretched city. But with a flawed plan, and unable to reassure neighbours that they weren't going to be driven mad by noise, it was always going to fail – even in Greenwich.
So what happens now? Will another plan fill the gap? We may find out more today – as Frank Dekker still has one event up his sleeve, Sail Royal Greenwich, which is being launched today. No noise, little hassle – and, most importantly for him, no licence needed from the council. Keep an eye on the river this lunchtime for a preview of something that's coming to London next summer which few people can argue about.
11.55am, North Greenwich Pier: Frank Dekker's remaining optimistic about the future. "It's a process," he said at the launch of Sail Royal Greenwich. More soon… (…er, on Friday)
Peninsula Festival plans criticised at licence hearing
Greenwich Council's licensing committee is discussing the application to hold next summer's Peninsula Festival after an day-long meeting at Woolwich Town Hall heard sharp criticism of the plans from police, Olympics chiefs and local residents.
Four different licenses are being applied for, but the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London and Olympics organisers LOCOG lined up to criticise each of them, alongside residents on both sides of the river Thames.
Plans to hold concerts for up to 20,000 people – scaled down from the original plans for 45,000 people – were not backed by the Metropolitan Police, with counsel Adam Clemens condemning a "wholesale lack of engagement" on security matters.
"It's not for the Met to second guess what security resources should be thrown its way," he said, criticising a lack of detail from event organisers. He added that talk of a 40-page security document was "news to us", and that a representative of security firm G4S, speaking for the Peninsula Festival, was "a stranger to us".
LOCOG said it agreed with the police's concerns.
Alongside the concerts, organisers want to have a events on a "beach" area at Delta Wharf, and a pre-built campsite for 4,500 people on land north of Greenwich Sainsburys, with further events at Greenwich Yacht Club.
But a sister company of O2 owner AEG has dropped out of the concert plans at the last minute, while Peninsula Festival organiser Frank Dekker (above) admitted to differences with Greenwich Yacht Club over what events should be put on at the venue.
Transport for London's Tony Matthews noted a "lack of visible planning" for the events, saying there was "no indication" what demand there would be for the beach, which Dekker wants to run for five years.
Residents living across the river Thames objected to the noise from parties at the beach, adding that outside events at the O2 compound were already affecting their lives. Local Tower Hamlets councillor Peter Golds said it would be "absolutely unbearable".
"Noise travels across water and can be magnified by it," he said, adding that he could hear small disco boats on the Thames from his home with the windows shut.
LOCOG also said access to the beach would be affected by the Olympic Route Network, which would run up Millennium Way to the Dome.
Frank Dekker said the events would "showcase Greenwich and the Peninsula", but local councillor Mary Mills said there were a "vast number of people with vast number of objections" to the concert in Greenwich Millennium Village, where many homes had poor soundproofing.
She added that GMV residents were hoping the campsite would be quiet, but were dismayed to find an application for alcohol and music licences. "All sorts of things happen when men come out of licensed premises at night," she said.
The Greenwich Ecology Park also objected to the campsite and business lounge, with representative Joanne Smith saying they were concerned about the effects of people leaving events late and stumbling into the park.
"We haven't been consulted," she added. "We were told this would be the quiet end where people were going to sleep. The business lounge couldn't be nearer to the ecology park if you tried."
There was also criticism of Greenwich Council's role, with Cllr Mills saying some residents had become "distrustful" of the council because of the way they thought it had handled the festival, while Tower Hamlets resident Alan Haughton questioned why publicity for the event carried the council's logo.
"When you see the Greenwich logo on it, you just feel it will go straight ahead," he said.
Asked by committee chair Maureen O'Mara if he was surprised by the criticism of the plans, Frank Dekker cited a letter from the Greater London Authority suggesting a outline agreement for how the events could work, adding he and the authorities were "talking quite frequently with each other".
"I had not expected the strong opposition expressed today," he added.
A decision is expected this evening – this website will be updated if I get the news, or I'll post it via Twitter using the #peninsulafest hashtag, where you'll find further coverage from today's hearing.
'Failing' Blackheath Bluecoat school faces closure
853 exclusive: England defender Rio Ferdinand's old secondary school is set to be closed under plans to be discussed by Greenwich councillors next week.
Blackheath Bluecoat could close its doors in summer 2013 after a steady drop in pupil numbers over recent years, with academic standards remaining below local and national averages, according to a report to be presented to cabinet members.
The school is also over £1 million in debt, the report says, with pupil numbers at the Church of England school dropping by a third over the past five years.
Education chiefs at the church's Southwark diocese have agreed the school, whose history dates back to 1700, is "not sustainable" on current admissions.
It had been planned to move the school to the Greenwich Peninsula, although those plans fell through when the coalition government axed its predecessor's Building Schools for the Future programme last year.
"Despite being the only C of E secondary school in Greenwich, and the efforts made by the school to promote itself to parents of children attending local C of E primary schools, it has not succeeded in securing a significant share of pupils transferring into Year 7," the document reads.
"This contrasts with the demand for places in Church of England primary schools in Greenwich which offer 8 forms of entry in total and which are consistently full."
Blackheath Bluecoat linked up with St Cecilia's School in Wandsworth in 2009 and was rated "satisfactory" by Ofsted in 2010. It had also been mooted that the school would take over the nearby disused playing field at Hervey Road, Kidbrooke. But despite improving results, the school has continued to suffer from a bad reputation, especially in its immediate neighbourhood, and now only has 481 pupils outside the sixth form – when it has capacity for 900.
Neighbouring John Roan is just 10 short of being full up, while Thomas Tallis is three short of capacity.
"Although the school's performance has improved, this has not been translated into an improvement in the perceptions of the school in the wider community or the pattern of recruitment," the report says.
"On current trends, there is no sign that the school's position is likely to improve substantially in the foreseeable future."
Pupils from across south-east London have attended the school over the years, with Peckham-raised Rio Ferdinand among its most famous ex-pupils, along with brother Anton. Stephen Lawrence, killed in a racist attack in Eltham in 1993, was also a student.
Many of its pupils are from the Woolwich and Plumstead areas, but significant numbers also come from across both Greenwich and Lewisham boroughs, with some coming from as far afield as Rotherhithe and Peckham. Two-thirds are black, with 18.5% white, with slightly more boys (53%) than girls at the school.
Current pupils can easily be accommodated by other schools in Greenwich and Lewisham, the report says, although it adds a new school will be needed in Greenwich from 2016 – with the council still aiming to build one on the peninsula.
A university technical college in Charlton for 14-19 year-olds, backed by Greenwich University and Lewisham College, is also expected to fill the gap from 2013 along with an extra form at Thomas Tallis in Kidbrooke.
It is planned to accept no more new pupils to Blackheath Bluecoat, with current year 7-9 pupils transferring to new schools in 2012. The remainder are expected to finish their GCSE and A-level courses in 2013.
An 11-week consultation period is due to start on 28 September, with a final decision to be made in January.
The school's name is derived from the Blue Coat School for Girls, which opened in Greenwich in 1700. In 1959 it became "Blackheath and Bluecoat" school after merging with the Blackheath & Kidbrook [sic] school, which had opened on Old Dover Road in 1911 on land donated by Sir Spencer Maryon Wilson. The current buildings date back to 1973.
If you know Blackheath Bluecoat well as a parent or pupil, I'd be interested to hear your views.

MPs' boundary changes split east and west Greenwich
Greenwich faces being represented by two different MPs if new constituencies proposed by the Boundary Commission get the final go-ahead.
Seats across London will be shaken up, with most constituencies crossing borough boundaries. But the most dramatic local changes will be felt in SE10, where west Greenwich and the town centre will join a new "Deptford and Greenwich" seat, along with all of Blackheath, and stretching as far west as Millwall FC's ground in Bermondsey.
East Greenwich – Peninsula ward – will remain with most parts of Charlton in a new Woolwich seat, extending from the Royal Naval College to the Greenwich borough boundary at Thamesmead.
Southern parts of Charlton remain in Eltham constituency, which expands to take in parts of Sidcup and Welling.
None of this affects the boroughs themselves – just the MPs. The full details follow – maps are courtesy of the Greater London Authority and represent who sits in each council ward.
The new Woolwich seat is the simplest one to describe – it's most of the riverside parts of Greenwich borough, apart from from the centre of Greenwich itself. Got that?
In council ward terms, that's Peninsula, Charlton, Woolwich Riverside, Woolwich Common, Plumstead, Glyndon, Abbey Wood and Thamesmead Moorings. From west to east, that's the side fence of the Royal Naval College down to the borough boundary at Thamesmead.
What's missing? Half of Greenwich. Blackheath also sailes off into the sunset.
Good for: Labour politicians looking for a super-safe seat.
Bad for: Greenwich borough politicians wondering where the best-known "royal" bit of the borough has gone, anyone who thinks Thamesmead should have a single MP like it does now.
See that Eltham seat? It gets bigger, stretching into Bexley borough to take in bits of Welling, Blackfen and Sidcup. These are true-blue Tory strongholds – one of the Bexley wards used to be in ex-PM Edward Heath's seat – so what's a marginal Labour seat now suddenly swings quite a bit the other way.
Or, in council speak, Kidbrooke with Hornfair, Eltham North, Eltham South, Eltham West, Middle Park & Sutcliffe, Coldharbour & New Eltham and Shooters Hill from Greenwich, and Falconwood & Welling and Blackfen & Lamorbey from Bexley. It now stretches awkwardly from the Blackheath Cator estate in the west right across to Welling High Street in the east, as well as from parts of Charlton in the north to the tip of Chislehurst in the south.
What's perplexing? Just why on earth are bits of Charlton still in a seat called "Eltham"?
Good for: Tories.
Bad for: Bexley council tax payers who hoped they could ignore the lot over the border.
Which leaves us with Deptford and Greenwich – although there's not very much of the latter in this new concoction. This is basically the current Lewisham Deptford seat, minus some of the Lewisham bit and plus some of Greenwich. But while Greenwich is split between two seats, Deptford will have one MP for the first time in the modern era, and most of Blackheath – save for a chunk of the Cator Estate – will also be united.
In council wards, that's New Cross, Telegraph Hill, Evelyn, Ladywell, Brockley and Blackheath from Lewisham and Blackheath Westcombe and Greenwich West from Greenwich. Or Millwall FC's The Den over to Blackheath Standard, heading south almost as far as Nunhead Cemetery and Ladywell Fields.
What's missing? Half of Greenwich, Lewisham town centre, any connection between the east and west of the seat. Try getting from Brockley to Greenwich or Blackheath by bus.
Good for: Lewisham Labour types, who are probably wetting themselves laughing. Lib Dems and Greens will perk up a bit – there's votes for them around these parts.
Bad for: Tories – even slimmer pickings here – and Greenwich Labour types, who'll have to align themselves with a very different local party in Lewisham.
The bulk of the rest of Lewisham borough goes into a new Lewisham & Catford seat, while the area around Forest Hill and Sydenham is packed off to Dulwich & Sydenham. There are also new seats of Erith and Bexleyheath & Sidcup to get your head around.
If the new parliamentary seats look weird – well, that's because most of them are. But they're lines on a map – and however you draw it, there'll always be something odd, mainly because they're built out of council wards which reflect a need for tidy election planning instead of living, breathing communities. That Deptford and Greenwich seat would look less weird if it included the centre of Lewisham (Lewisham Central) in it, but then something else would have to go and then we'd all be wondering what Hither Green was doing there.
The new divide would mean every time I cycle to the shops at Blackheath Standard, which is less than a mile away, I'll pass through three constituencies. Dividing Greenwich sounds daft – but in the long term, will Deptford, with the massive Convoys Wharf controversy right on a borough border, benefit from a single MP?
What really matters is who represents you, and if they can do a good job – and once the seats are finalised, those personalities will settle into place in the months and years ahead. Where boundaries really count, though, are in the boroughs – and it makes me wonder what ruthless changes could be unleashed if a change were to come in the future…
Greenwich Time: Tories make formal complaint
Greenwich's Conservative leader Spencer Drury has formally complained to the district auditor about Greenwich Council's decision to keep on publishing its weekly newspaper.
A scrutiny panel endorsed Greenwich Time appearing 50 weeks a year, despite doubt being cast on council claims that GT saves it up to £2m a year in advertising costs.
Cllr Drury's complaint also says GT continues to mimic local papers and only reflects the voice of the council's Labour leadership.
He said: "In my opinion Greenwich Council continues to publish Greenwich Time in an effort to influence the opinions of people in favour of the Labour Council. It makes no attempt to offer an alternative view on even the most controversial issues. In my opinion Labour justifies GT with a fig leaf of financial jiggery-pokery."
"Greenwich remains a one party state with its own 'pravda'. It is a disgrace in a modern democracy that this sort of propaganda is allowed to flourish at the expense of other local papers and subsidised by unsuspecting taxpayers."
Indeed, his complaint even refers to a post on this website, which discusses the paper's change in tone before and after last year's council election. (greenwich.co.uk has the full letter).
As if by coincidence, this week's GT contains a "star letter" from a happy "reader", with Patrick Pires of Thamesmead delighted that the found out about digital skills courses at Ravensbourne college via GT, adding that it was "ironic that printed media such as GT still has a valuable role in informing residents", and that he now "avidly scans GT for items of topical interest". Funny, that.

You might have noticed things being quieter around here over the past week – a hard drive failure (thanks, iPhoto) meant I was restricted to my fiddly laptop for a little while. But my Mac is back with a pristine new hard drive and I've finally tracked down my copy of Photoshop Elements, so fresh new posts will be appearing here shortly. Of course, it was entirely usual that my Mac would break down for the first time in four years shortly before the new Apple Store opens at Stratford City, so it's had a small holiday in Essex.
But then there's another gap in service coming up, because I'm going away for a little while. So, would you like to help me fill the gap? If there's something you've always wanted to say about life in south-east London, I'd love to give you a space with a guest post. All I ask is that it's between no more than 1,000 words, and ideally should come with a photo of what you're talking about. (I can sort the latter out if you can't.) Final decision on whether or not to run them is with me, and I'll be managing comments on the post remotely, but it'd be nice to get a few different perspectives that don't come from me.
So, please, get thinking, and if you want to discuss ideas, stick 'em in the comments box below. Or tell me things. And now I've asked you to write for free, enjoy the video above, courtesy of Danny Baker on Twitter. He's right, of course…
Lewisham police: Racists 'returned to Greenwich borough'
A month today, Woolwich erupted into violence, resulting in destruction which I've heard put at £2 million. The following nights saw more unfortunate events in Eltham, as men stood outside pubs to "protect their town" – followed by a racist group swooping into town trying to stir things up.
In the month, neither Greenwich Council and Greenwich borough police have held any public meetings to explain and discuss what had happened; why Woolwich had gone undefended, why Eltham became a honeypot for some very nasty individuals, and what they plan to reassure locals in these two very different places.
Indeed, a planned meeting was suppressed thanks to one of its organisers having a dubious background, and the "Woolwich wall" of messages was painted over and replaced with council slogans.
No such qualms in Lewisham, though – so on Monday night, the Lewisham Central ward assembly discussed the damage in its neighbourhood and how the police dealt with it. I was actually out in Lewisham on the second night after the riots, when rumours flew of a confrontation being planned there, watching police march a big group up and down Lewisham High Street. Ultimately, little happened, but it was worrying enough.
We're not allowed these events in Greenwich, but if I'd known our borough was being discussed, I'd have wandered along. For one attendee reported…
Police: an EDLy group did march to Lewisham borough but "were stopped at the border & escorted back into Greenwich borough" #lewishamcentral—
Paul (@bitoclass) September 06, 2011
But what does this mean? Does this mean that groups of nasties were being contained within individual boroughs? ("They shall not pass the Old Tigers Head…") Or does this mean that Greenwich borough – and let's be frank here, this is very much an Eltham issue – has a problem with attracting groups of racists who want to stir things up? If the latter is true, then that's too close for comfort and I want to know what the council and police are doing about it.
Of course, it'd be good if Greenwich Council and Greenwich borough police were as open and accessible to the public as their counterparts in Lewisham – then we might get some answers. But until then, the best we'll get is overheard snippets like that, worrying comments from outside – and a sense that nobody's actually in charge of making sure the events of a month ago don't happen again.
Yes, some uncomfortable truths will need to be confronted – but myths can also be challenged too. But with the council and police still not talking to the people who pay for them, more dangerous rumours and assumptions can only develop. Is anyone going to take a lead instead of running away?
Update, 10:35pm: The Guardian's website features a piece from a Goldsmiths academic who's been studying the riots in Lewisham and talking to those involved.
There's a telling line there…
Over a couple of nights the young people had control of the streets. They talked about deploying their numbers tactically – "Lewisham was a distraction, Catford and Woolwich, that's where the real action was."
…which makes it all the more concerning that Greenwich Council, and Greenwich borough police, aren't talking about what happened in Woolwich that night.

Southaven Mayor Greg Davis will preside over Tuesday's Board of Aldermen meeting for the first time since taking a leave of absence.
Mayor Davis was away getting medical treatment for an unknown reason.
Southaven City Hall is preparing for a big crowd at the meeting. It marks Davis' first public appearance since his leave of absence in a medical treatment facility.
Since that time, aldermen and citizens have called for his resignation as Mayor of Southaven.
Davis has been ordered by the State Auditor's Office to repay the city about $170,000 in improper spending. The auditor says Davis spent tax money on things like vacations, parties, liquor, and lavish dinners. Davis has paid back about $96,000 so far.
He is also the subject of an FBI criminal investigation. No charges have been filed at this point.
Davis has said that he will not step down.

UNITED STATES – The Pittsburgh Pirates have named third baseman Pedro Alvarez their minor league Player of the Year, and Rudy Owens their minor league Pitcher of the Year for the 2009 season.
Alvarez hit a combined .288 (134-for-465) with 32 doubles, 27 home runs, 95 RBI and 80 runs scored in 126 games between Single-A Lynchburg and Double-A Altoona. Alvarez, who was Pittsburgh's 2008 First-Round Draft selection, finished first among all Pirates minor leaguers this year with 27 home runs and 95 RBI.
The 22-year-old Alvarez was named to the All-Star Futures Game this year in his first professional season. He also played for Team USA in the World Cup, where he established a new IBAF World Cuprecord by hitting three home runs in one game on September 17 against Chinese Taipei (Taiwan).
Alvarez started the year at Single-Lynchburg, where he hit 14 doubles, 14 home runs and 55 RBI in 66 games. After being promoted to Double-A Altoona, he hit .333 with 18 doubles, 13 home runs and 40 RBI in 60 games.
"Pedro performed up to the lofty expectations placed upon him, showing a quality combination of
power and patience plus improving defense," said Stark. "He performed across two levels, raising his level of play as he faced tougher competition at Double-A."
Owens posted a combined record of 11-2 with a 2.10 ERA (124ip/29er) and 113 strikeouts in 25 starts with West Virginia and Lynchburg. He began the year with Low-A West Virginia, where he went 10-1 with a 1.70 ERA (100.2ip/19er) and 91 strikeouts in 19 starts while being named to the South Atlantic League midseason All-Star team.
After being promoted to Lynchburg, Pittsburgh's 28th round selection in the 2006 Draft went 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA (23.1ip/10er) and 22 strikeouts in six starts for the Carolina League Champion Hillcats. For the season, the 21-year-old Owens finished first among Pirates farmhands in ERA and strikeouts andtied for third in wins.
"Rudy Owens made significant strides this year, showing consistent fastball command and improving secondary pitches," said Stark. "He obviously performed across two levels, capped off by a couple quality starts in the postseason for Lynchburg."
For more information, contact the Pirates Media Relations office at (412) 325-4728 or (412) 325-4976.

Six-Run Seventh Paces No. 9 Florida State to 11-4 Win Over Baseball
April 12, 2005
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Seniors Sean McHugh (Port Orange, Fla.) and Alex Jamieson (Sarasota, Fla.) and sophomore Daniel Murphy (Jacksonville/Edgewater) each finished with two hits to give the Dolphins an early lead, but a six-run seventh inning gave No. 9 Florida State an 11-4 win over JU Baseball Tuesday evening, in front of 795 fans at Alexander Brest Field. JU (17-20) out hit FSU, 10-7, but issued 12 walks in the contest, while the Seminoles (33-8) won its 12th consecutive game over the Dolphins.
With the score tied, 4-4, in the top of the seventh, Florida State scored six runs on only one hit (a bases loaded triple) while taking advantage of one Dolphin error.
Bryan Henry earned the win (2-2) after giving up only one run (none earned) on three hits with no walks and four strikeouts in 5.0 innings of relief.
Junior LHP Aaron Parvey (North Ft. Myers, Fla.) was tagged with the loss (0-1) after allowing a run and a walk. Senior RHP Ashley Roque (Jacksonville/Bolles/Maryland-Baltimore College) hurled 3.2 innings of scoreless relief and freshman RHP Brock Schnabel (Winter Haven, Fla.) increased his scoreless innings streak to 11.0 after allowing only a hit with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings. Junior RHP Josh Deel (Jacksonville/Wolfson) allowed a run on one hit with a walk and a strikeout in 1.0 innings to make his first appearance of the season.
JU jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the second inning after a two-run single up the middle by McHugh and an RBI single to second by Murphy.
FSU took its first lead, 4-3, in the top of the third when Ryan Malone hit a two-run double down the left-field line, Gibbs Chapman hit an RBI single to right and Daniel Wardell drew a bases-loaded walk.
The Dolphins evened the contest, 4-4, in the bottom of the third after an RBI double down the right-field line by Jamieson.
JU will now travel to Gardner-Webb for a three-game series beginning on Friday, April 15, at 3 p.m.

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul in L.A.? It's not a farfetched idea
Here are some highlights:
Orlando isn't as desperate to unload Howard and would ask for quite the return in a trade with the Lakers, wanting Andrew Bynum and Kobe Bryant, according to an official familiar with Orlando's thinking who was not authorized to speak publicly. He appeared to be joking. Maybe.
The Clippers could offer more than the Lakers, though the Clippers have not talked to Orlando. Clippers fans can thank Marko Jaric and the Minnesota Timberwolves for giving them incredible leverage in trade talks.

Free hiring: The secret of a $0 cost per hire. Part II
All the tips and tricks you need to get your cost per hire down to $0.
In the first post of this series we discussed the free job boards and how a free ATS could be leveraged to keep your recruiting costs as low as possible. In Part II we will talk about Social media - it's (mostly) free so use it.
The buzz (some would call it hype) in recruitment these days is all about how social media is going to be the way all recruitment is done in the future. There's no way you can rely purely on social media for finding your staff, but if done properly it can get you in contact with passive candidates and thus must be a part of your resourcing strategy regardless of how big the organization or company is. Here are some ideas on getting started:
LinkedIn: If you personally don't have a LinkedIn profile it's a good idea to add yourself on and don't forget to post an entry on your profile if you're hiring. Similarly if your company/organization hasn't got a LinkedIn page, create one and post that the company is hiring. Also, make sure you join some of the groups set up. There's bound to be at least one that is in your field and post a help request on that…….'Can anyone suggest a good Web Developer…..etc'. It just takes one referral or the right person to spot your entry and you could fill the job.
LinkedIn is an absolute goldmine for finding good candidates so make sure you do a people search as well but ensure that you use the advanced search box because that allows you to narrow the location down to a much tighter area. So click on the advanced link next to the search box at the top and type in a job title into the Title box, then a rough location and see who appears. You can always add in some keywords as well if you get too many results.
Unfortunately you can only see the first 10 pages for free but you'd be amazed who's in your network. You can contact anyone who is either a direct connection or an indirect connection (i.e. you know someone who knows them) for free or better yet, get introduced to indirect connections by whoever is the link person between you and them.
Oh and don't forget……if you communicate with a good candidate for whatever reason and you want to keep a link with them for possible future hiring, ask to link to them on LinkedIn. So easy to do and gradually you can build a network of potential future hires and a source of referrals as well. We've found LinkedIn to be a great source of candidates for roles we've recruited for our clients at a senior level but less so for more junior roles.
Finally, make sure as many of your employees have profiles on LinkedIn. It's very easy for job seekers to work out who they are connected to at your company. The more of your employees are on LinkedIn, the more likely you are to source the widest possible amount of applicants. If jobseekers know people at your company, they are more likely to apply or at least ask for an introduction.
Twitter: Set up a company Twitter page or if you're hiring a lot, how about a page dedicated to just listing your company's jobs. It's free so post an entry linking back to your company website.
To build up your followers, make sure you follow as many people as you can related to your field. They'll then look at you and perhaps follow your tweets back. Twitter is rapidly becoming a job search engine in it's own right with dozens of companies listing their vacancies at any one time. Do a search on Twitter now for a job title you are currently recruiting (or about to) and see what comes up. You might even find a few job seekers who match up.
All the 'followers' of recruitment agencies and direct employers are likely to be looking for a job so if they're on Twitter following another company's job postings they'll be doing regular searches to find matching jobs……..so get listing !!
A nice app you can use to find potential applicants via Twitter is called Locafollow. Incredibly easy to use, you just type in the skill set/job title you're looking for and approximate location, hit search and it will find people who match up. You can then follow them/make contact etc and maybe hire them. A different site but doing something similar is called Follower Wonk. Both are free.
Don't forget if you do make a tweet, particularly if you're listing a job that you're trying to fill, put some searchable tags with a hash symbol in front. So next to the job title is good, and maybe words like jobs or careers: #web developer #careers #jobs etc etc By adding a hash symbol #, the word following it becomes searchable to other users.
More on social media, blogs and search techniques in Part III of this series.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The attorneys for a Jefferson County Public School teacher accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student say he may not have to go to trial.Scott Quisenberry, age 55, is charged with rape in Jefferson and Nelson Counties. He's accused of having a sexual relationship with a female student over a three-year span ranging from when the girl was 13 to 15.
Prosecutor Alicia Gomez offered a plea deal in court, but still needs to put it in writing. She says she doesn't want him to be on probation.
But first, she has to hand over evidence to the defense -- including new information from an interview with the alleged victim yesterday.
"Essentially, there are pictures of them together that were on the computer," Gomez said. "I'm going to turn those over. There's his cell phone records as well."She says those pictures were not inappropriate in nature.
A no-contact order with the alleged victim is in place. Quisenberry is on non-instructional leave from his teaching job at Kerrick Elementary. He will be back in court late next month, when a trial date could be set.

Paul Nuttal rminds me of a right wing robotic version of Derek Hatton wel done der scouser
David Stevens 03-May-13 at
Voted no as this is too serious a situation. UKip could stand for united sleepers. I am very worried that 24% of those who bothered to vote- what wasl the turnout- should vote for a party that has very extreme views. Hope none of my friends voted for them. I have friends who might vote for the LibDems/ Labour/ Green, Conservatives but would be devastated f they voted for UKip.
David Hyatt 03-May-13 at
This is a backlash from the scared middle-class in the Tory shires. UKIP wouldn't have had same impact if large urban areas had voted. The Daily Mail, Express and Torygraph readers have voted. But they'll soon come to see that protest isn't a sound basis for local government – Ukippers haven't got much in the way of policy and it will soon show.
Matthew Timms 03-May-13 at
Thanks for all your work !
peter thompson 03-May-13 at

I think it's pretty clear that we need upgrades offensively right now, but this post will focus more on 2012 and beyond. One way or another, Kouz will be gone by the end of 2011, and the expiring contracts (and sketchy injury histories) of Crisp and Willingham could leave some gaping holes in the outfield. Without any obvious help coming from the minors at the moment, the A's may very well have to look outside of the organization for help.
It isn't necessary at all, but I've always wanted to say this -- more after the jump
3rd Base:
I'll start by saying that I've always been a big fan of Adrian Cardenas, and Stephen Parker's bat has garnered some positive reviews, but both might have trouble handling the position and I think it'd be a mistake to bank on either to start full-time in 2012.
Also, I won't mention the usual suspects (Stewart, Wright, Headley) because they've already been discussed as possibilities a lot here.
James Darnell - Another one of my favorite prospects (along with several other minor leaguers in that system), Darnell has gotten off to a blistering start in Double-A San Antonio this year, hitting .433/.541/.761 in 18 games. John Sickels covered him last week on his site. Aside from the first half of last season when he dealt with a hand injury, he has hit everywhere since being drafted in 2008.
There have been rumblings that he may have to move to right field, but he has the tools to play third. As John mentioned, he has the range and arm strength to play 3rd, but just makes too many mistakes. Even if a move to the outfield is in his future, the A's could use him there as well. I'm not great with comps, but I could see Corey Koskie-type numbers from Darnell. He has a good bat.
What would it take to get him? I'm not great with trade scenarios, but with Headley at third and a potential glut in the OF in the future for the Padres, I can't think he'd be too tough to pry away. Maybe something starting with Krol or FDLS?
Allen Craig - Like Darnell, he would questionable at third. Probably moreso than Darnell, actually. But also like Darnell, he's done nothing but hit since he got drafted. He has a .308/.370/.518 career line in the minors, and while you may be quick to dismiss that as an older guy beating up on younger competition, he raked as a 22 year old in High-A and at 23 in the Texas League. He had just been pigeonholed in Triple-A the last couple years before finally scoring some playing time on the ML roster this season.
Again, I don't know whether or not he'd be able to handle third adequately. I haven't seen him play there. But he has moved around and is currently playing in left, so he might be a solution there too if he can't play third. I can't imagine that it would take more than a B-/C+ prospect to get him. Reminds me a little of Ryan Ludwick.
Jed Lowrie - He could probably be considered one of the "usual suspects", but I think he should be our number one target if we're looking for someone to play 3rd. It'll be harder now to trade for him now since he's hitting well and Scutaro's contract is expiring. It might take Ross, but I 'd do that. .284/.380/.445 in the minors, .287/.381/.526 in 55 games last year, .390/.413/.610 in 18 games so far this year. Grade A- from Sickels as a prospect. Health has been the one thing holding him back.
With Chris Carter looking more and more like a DH every day, and Michael Taylor continuing to, well, suck, we could have a lot of holes to fill in the outfield come 2012. These are some guys I think we should target there:
Ryan Kalish - I think he's always been somewhat underrated as a prospect because he doesn't have one tool that stands out, but he can play center, really controls the zone, and has a good power-speed combo. I could see some years where he hits .280 and goes 20/20. He was squeezed out of the crowded Boston outfield before the year, but I'm sure they still think highly of him. I would dangle any of Ross, Carter, Choice, Weeks, or Green to get him, he's really one of my favorites and could hold down center for years.
Chris Young - Might be a little far-fetched, but if the D-backs were dangling Upton this past offseason, why not Young? He'll strike out a lot but is a legit 30/30 threat and plays great defense in center. He's had some poor years but is coming off a great one in 2010, so maybe he figured some things out. Like with Kalish, there aren't really any prospects of ours I wouldn't give up for him.
Luke Scott - Honestly, I thought he and Willingham would already be on this team a year or two ago. He still might be a good fit for left in 2012 as a guy who will play solid defense, get on base, and hit 20-25 or so homers. Can't think that the Orioles would ask for too much. And who knows, if we're in it but the Orioles aren't around the ASB, maybe Beane could try to pick him up for the stretch run.
Other guys I would look at are Charlie Blackmon, Dexter Fowler, Jaff Decker, BJ Upton, and Grady Sizemore.
So what say you, AN? Who are some possible 3rd basemen or outfielders we're not discussing who you think the team should go after? Or do you think our in-house options will be sufficient?

Via Shakesville, Grover "Not the Muppet" Norquist on Friday:
Norquist dropped by The Times' Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama's liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee "John Kerry with a tan."
Now, given that "so and so with a tan" is usually used to describe someone putting an inauthentically ethnic (black or brown) face on something considered "white", I'll accept Norquist's inevitable explanation that the party of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is race baiting. I will also accept that he is the white devil.
UPDATE: John Kerry was John Kerry with a tan.

At Stolar & Associates in Los Angeles, our divorce lawyers are committed to helping families through this difficult process with the least emotional stress and in the most economical way possible.
Your Advocates in Divorce
If you would like to speak with a member of our law firm, please contact our office and arrange a consultation. We welcome calls from out-of-state parties to California divorce proceedings, and represent clients in courts throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
Speak with an attorney. 310-853-5115
Divorce or the dissolution of a domestic partnership involves issues critical to your future welfare:
- Division of community property, debt, and business interests
- The family home
- Child custody and visitation
- Child support
- Alimony/spousal support
- Validity of a prenuptial agreement
As divorce attorneys we offer you the benefit of over 20 years of experience. As your personal legal counsel, we assure you we will never lose sight of your welfare and that of your children.
Contested Divorce: California Law
A contested divorce is one where a couple does not initially agree on the terms of the divorce. There may be complicating issues such as a custody dispute, domestic restraining orders, or a business valuation, that need to be resolved. Complex and aggressive negotiations may be required in order to reach a resolution, and in extreme cases a decision may only be reached through a divorce trial.
At Stolar & Associates, our divorce lawyers in California will work closely with you to find the most appropriate solution for your unique situation. During the process, our attorneys will aggressively protect your financial interests and your child's right to an appropriate child custody and visitation arrangement.
Uncontested Divorce: California Law
In California divorce is considered "no fault," making it relatively easy to obtain a divorce from the court using the concept of "irreconcilable differences." In an uncontested divorce, the spouses have already agreed to split and have decided on the terms of their divorce, settling such matters as child custody, spousal support, how to divide assets and debts, and other issues related to their marriage.
In an uncontested divorce, an experienced divorce lawyer can provide a valuable service, reviewing your terms to ensure you have covered all the necessary points, then drafting the agreement and helping finalize the divorce on your behalf. It is important to speak with a lawyer as early as possible in the process.
Do you need a lawyer for divorce in California?
There are serious hazards in do-it-yourself divorce. We sincerely feel that our clients benefit from our services as divorce attorneys.
Consult with a California divorce lawyer.
Please call us at 310-853-5115 or contact us by e-mail today. A lawyer will talk with you about the ways in which we can help.

New purchases by Daily Mail's Digital group
Monday 1st February 2010
Written by Rosalind Renshaw
Fresh from its purchase of a 50% stake in Globrix, the Daily Mail's Digital Property Group has bought Dothomes.co.uk and Extate.co.uk
It is understood that both had been on the market for some time. Originally launched as Google-style search engines, they apparently failed to make the impact expected. They were acquired by Digital from BytePlay, which says it will relaunch in the UK the first of the property mapping offerings – OnOneMap.
All traffic to both dothomes and extate has been redirected to FindaProperty.
Both FindaProperty and Digital's other main site, Primelocation, have registered record daily visitor traffic levels in January.
On January 18, FindaProperty received just short of 215,000 unique visitors, 11,400 more than its previous best in August 2009. The following day, Primelocation achieved its best 24 hours to date by attracting over 168,000 unique visitors.
Both sets of data are, however, easily outstripped by Rightmove, which claims that it broke the million visitor mark on a single day this time a week ago, on January 25.

I bought this boot because it is the most comfortable of any brand, and is designed in such a way that seems to propel me into and out of each step, also, they are the most attractive boots of all brands.
It doesn't have as good of ankle and heel support (for my feet) as the Montrail Torre, but it is suitable for my uses, day hike and snowshoeing. If I were going backpacking for more than a day I would go with Montrail, but this is only because of my feet being short toes and wide.
If you find shoes easily, and most shoes fit you then I would get them.

John Johnson's Sept. 1 letter, Right to vote being unraveled, points out that the Supreme Court allowed state legislatures to enact laws that suppress the vote of college students, minorities and the elderly. He made the brilliant observation that this is far worse than acts of terrorism when it comes to preserving our democracy. Some state legislatures have enacted laws against the establishment of Sharia law. That's not going to happen, but voter suppression is happening right now!

Everyone always says you will on go as far as your defense will take you so lets hope we hold up and don't catch an injury bug down the road.

Thomas Merton, a Catholic Monk, says, "We are numbered in billions, and massed together, marshaled, numbered, marched here and there, taxed, drilled, armed, worked to the point of insensibility, dazed by information, drugged by entertainment, surfeited with everything, nauseated with the human race and with ourselves, nauseated with life. There is no room for quiet. There is no room for solitude. There is no room for thought. There is no room for us to live." What better season than Christmas to epitomize our cluttered existence. We are swallowed up by crowds at shopping malls. Find ourselves lost in wrapping paper. Cursing the world when stepping on pieces of toys left on steps. We live lives of clutter. We find ourselves obsessed with lack of time and lack of space and strive to save time and conquer more space.
The story of Christmas reminds us that our lives need simplicity. The Scripture reminds us that there was "no room in the inn." We always read this as a negative. But could it be that if Jesus was born in the midst of the chaos of Bethlehem that he would have gotten lost in the crowd? He was born in a place where the message could be heard by those ready to hear. Our lives need stillness in order to hear the message of joy and grace. Take time during the busy season of Christmas and just listen. Find that quiet place in your soul and just rest in the message of God's love.

CLYDE, N.Y. (AP) - A New York man who says he caught four boys vandalizing his father-in-law's home has been charged with child endangerment after corralling them in a closet until police arrived.
Jesse Daniels was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child after authorities say he interrupted the vandalism at the empty home in the Wayne County village of Clyde.
Daniels tells WHAM-TV in Rochester he heard pounding June 8 and went to investigate while his wife called 911.
He says he found four boys, ages 8 and 10, inside with hammers. He says he took a hammer from one, then stuck the boys in a closet until officers arrived.
Their parents say Daniels handled the boys roughly.
The boys have been charged with burglary and criminal mischief.

My research is focussed on the microclimatic effects of land-based renewables and consequent impacts on hosting ecosystems. My current research examines the effects of wind turbines on the microclimate and implications for peatland carbon cycling and I am currently building a research portfolio focussing on solar parks. Within this I am establishing the microclimatic effects of solar arrays, elucidating the subsequent changes in carbon cycling, examining the potential to double crop food and energy and investigating the scope to optimise deployment for ecosystem services.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY (WKOW) -- A judge determined the man accused in a triple murder is competent to stand trial.
Dane County Circuit Court Judge William Foust reviewed the competency report on Jaren Kuester and made his ruling Monday.
After the ruling, court records show Kuester changed his plea from not guilty to not guilty due to insanity. The plea will deal with Kuester's state of mind at the time of the killings.
Kuester is accused of killing Gary, Dean and Chloe Thoreson.
His trial is scheduled to begin in October.
LAFAYETTE COUNTY (WKOW) – The Waukesha man accused of slaying three people in Lafayette County could learn if he is competent to stand trial on Monday.
Kuester has been ordered to undergo a mental evaluation and will have a competency hearing Monday afternoon.
Kuester's attorney, Public Defender Guy Taylor, says an insanity plea cannot be ruled out.
A judge entered a not guilty plea for Jaren Kuester in June.
