text: How to Do Advanced Crow Poses How to Master Scissor Legs Side Crow Pose by Jenny Sugar 9/15/11 6 Reactions 662 Shares Print 593 54 14 1 0 Even if you've never done regular ol' Crow Pose, you can master this advanced variation of this arm balance with the right preparation. Yoga arm balances may look straight out of Cirque du Soleil and impossible, but breaking the poses down step by step can help you master them. Try out this sequence of yoga poses to stretch your hip flexors, increase the flexibility of your spine, and build your upper-body strength so the next time you hit the mat, you'll be able to do Scissor Legs Side Crow. Pigeon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Let's begin by opening the hip flexors and spine. Sit on the floor with your right knee bent and your left leg extended behind you. Place your hands on your lower back and gently arch your back. You should feel a nice stretch in the front of your left hip, but if this variation is painful, lean forward, placing your hands on the floor in front of you. Hold for five or more breaths, and then repeat this pose on the other side. Here's a more detailed explanation of how to do Pigeon pose. 1 / 7 Side Squat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This next twisting pose will increase side-to-side flexibility in your spine and will also work on your sense of balance (it's tough to stay still in a squat!). Stand with your feet together, bend your knees, and squat down. Bring your right elbow across your outer left thigh. Place your palms together and actively press your arm into your leg to increase the twist. Gaze over your left shoulder, holding for five breaths. You can keep your heels lifted or work on pressing them to the floor. Then release and repeat twisting to the right. 2 / 7 Knee Up Plank What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you want to be able to hold your body up in an arm balance, you have to have a strong upper body and core. This pose will strengthen both. Come into a plank position with straight arms and legs. Make sure your shoulders are stacked over your wrists. Bend your left knee and squeeze it into your chest. Hold here for five breaths, step your left leg back, and bring your right knee forward. Repeat one or two more times. Your arms and abs should be feeling worked after a few reps. 3 / 7 Crow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Begin in a squat, placing your hands shoulder-width distance apart on the mat. Spread your fingers as wide as you can, creating a strong, stable base. Straighten your legs slightly, placing your knees as high up onto your triceps (back of your arms) as possible. Slowly shift weight into your palms and lift your feet off the floor. Pressing your feet together and squeezing your knees inward will help you feel more stable and give you a sense of lightness. Stay here for five breaths gazing at the floor in front of you. Check out these details on how to balance in Crow pose. 4 / 7 Side Crow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This variation of Crow involves a little spinal twist, which you practiced while squatting. From a squat position with your feet together, place both hands on the floor in front of you, shoulder-width distance apart. Now rotate your knees to the left so your thighs are perpendicular to your arms. Bend your elbows slightly, and place your outer right hip onto your right elbow and your outer right knee onto your left elbow. Shift weight into your palms and lift your feet off the floor, coming into Side Crow. Hold here for five breaths and then release your feet to the floor. Rotate both knees to the right now and repeat this pose on the other side. Here are more details on how to master Side Crow pose. 6 / 7 Straight Legs Side Crow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This pose requires a little more balance than Side Crow, but with a little practice, you'll have it down. From the Side Crow position, slowly straighten your legs out to the left, gazing at your toes. Your left foot will naturally extend a few inches past your left toes, so try to pull your left hip back so your toes line up. After five grueling breaths, bend your knees and place your feet on the floor. Then do Straight Legs Side Crow on the other side. Check out these instructions on how to do Straight Legs Side Crow. 6 / 7 Scissor Legs Side Crow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You made it! It's time to put all that together and try Scissor Legs Side Crow. I actually think this version is easier than Straight Legs Side Crow because your scissor legs help spread out your body weight, making you feel lighter, so it's easier to balance. From Straight Legs Side Crow, all you need to do is extend your top leg behind you. This pose is easier if your head is a few inches above the ground and your back leg is lifted high, but once you feel stable, try to keep that back leg and your head somewhat parallel to the floor. Actively press your legs away from each other to make you feel stronger. After five breaths, lower your feet to the mat, come back to a squat position, and repeat this pose on the other side. I know this looks really difficult, so here are more details on how to get into Scissor Legs Side Crow. 7 / 7 593 54 14 1 0 Read More Scissor Legs Side CrowYoga SequenceArm BalanceYogaFitness Yoga Core-Carving Yoga Poses 1 day ago Why Wanderlust Whistler Is Yogi Paradise 3 days ago 6 Yoga Poses to Help You Train Like an Athlete 3 days ago 4 Ways to Build a Better Warrior 2 1 week ago These Stretches Are Tailor-Made to Soothe Sore Muscles 1 week ago Beat the Belly Bloat With 10 Minutes of Yoga 1 week ago Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Dubai/Islamabad, April 30 (Agencies): Pakistans key coalition partners, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), have agreed to reinstate the judges sacked by President Pervez Musharraf.
However, they have more issues to iron out tomorrow, a senior minister said today.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif rushed to Dubai for the talks after aides failed to settle differences with PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari over reinstating judges that President Pervez Musharraf deposed during a period of emergency rule six months ago.
Some officials of Sharifs PML-N, have hinted their ministers could quit Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilanis cabinet over the issue.
Any coalition cracks would heighten concern that nuclear-armed Pakistan, a US ally under Musharraf, will suffer prolonged political instability at a time of challenges from Islamist militants and acute economic problems.
In Dubai, Zardari had earlier said that both parties had agreed to reinstate the judges. Both the parties have agreed to reinstate the judges and the coalition is as strong as ever.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, a senior minister and close aide to Sharif, told reporters: A lot of progress has been made... There is consensus on most issues but difference of opinion on some legal and constitutional matters, .
Having defeated Musharraf's allies in a parliamentary poll in February, Zardari forged a post-election alliance with Sharif.
When they sealed their alliance, Sharif and Zardari vowed the PPP-led government would within a month of being sworn in pass a resolution in parliament to bring back 60 judges.
That deadline passed today, with Zardari in Dubai where he went last weekend to see his daughters. The fact of the matter is that a final decision on the issue will be made tomorrow and I can say that very categorically, Khan said at an upmarket hotel in Dubai where the talks were held.
Sharif, overthrown by Musharraf in 1999, wants the judges to be reinstated immediately as part of a strategy to drive Musharraf from office.
The PPP leadership wants to avoid an early confrontation with Musharraf. It also harbours reservations about some judges, notably Iftikhar Chaudhry, the supreme court chief justice, whose defiance of Musharraf last year galvanised the Opposition.
The PPP wants to link reinstatement of the judiciary to a constitutional reform package that will include measures to shorten the tenure of senior judges. Under such a formula, Chaudhry could be reinstated with honour and then immediately packed off to retirement.

Battle of Edgehill - Conflict & Date:
The Battle of Edgehill was fought October 23, 1642, during the First English Civil War (1642-1646).
Armies & Conflicts
Battle of Edgehill - Background:
As the situation between King Charles I and Parliament deteriorated in the summer of 1642, both sides began preparing for hostilities. Moving from his temporary capital at York, Charles unsuccessfully attempted to take Kingston-upon-Hull with the goal of securing its armory. Pressing on to Lincoln and Leicester, he was able to procure arms and on August 22 raised the royal standard at Nottingham. Having effectively declared war on Parliament, he marched west to Chester and Shrewsbury with the hope of gathering additional men from Wales and the Welsh Marches.
Aware of Charles' movements, Parliament dispatched its army to block his advance. Led by the Earl of Essex, the army mustered at Northampton and possessed around 20,000 men. From here, it moved northwest towards Worcester. On September 23, part of Essex's vanguard was attacked at Powick Bridge by Royalist cavalry under Prince Rupert of the Rhine. In the resulting action, the Parliamentarian troops were routed. Having assembled his army at Shrewsbury, Charles decided to advance on London with the goal of fighting Essex on favorable ground en route.
On October 22, the Royalist army camped at Edgecote from which it could menace the Parliamentarian garrison at Banbury. Concerned, the garrison called for aid from Essex who had just reached Warwick Castle. Learning of the situation, he began moving the Parliamentarian forces towards Kineton despite the fact that many of his men and the bulk of his artillery had not arrived. That evening, some of his patrols clashed with Royalist troops near the village. These alerted Charles to the enemy's approach and he ordered that his army be formed atop nearby Edgehill escarpment the next morning.
During the deployment of the army, Charles' commander, the Earl of Lindsey, resigned after a dispute over formations and was replaced by the Earl of Forth. While the Royalist infantry was positioned in the center, the bulk of the cavalry was placed on the right with Rupert in command. As the army formed, the King's Lifeguard was permitted to join Rupert's wing despite the fact that it left the king with no cavalry reserve. The Royalist left consisted of cavalry forces led by Sir Henry Wilmot. Though he had intended to march directly to Banbury on October 23, Essex changed his plans after learning of Charles' army.
Advancing on the Royalist position, Essex formed his army for battle to the southeast of Kineton and opposite the escarpment. The Parliamentarians assumed a position similar to their adversaries with Sir John Merrick's infantry in the center and cavalry on the flanks. The bulk of Essex's horse was placed on the left under the command of Sir James Ramsey and was supported by a force of musketeers. Short on cavalry as the remainder of his army was still arriving, Essex assigned only Lord Fielding's regiment to the right and relied on hedgerows and terrain to bolster the defense.
The Battle of Edgehill:
Two cavalry units were placed in reserve behind the infantry under the leadership of Essex's cavalry commander, Sir William Balfour. With his lines formed, Essex remained on the defensive as he awaited the remainder of his army to arrive on the field. With the Parliamentarians slowly gaining in strength the Royalists descended from the heights and began advancing after a brief artillery exchange. Pushing forward dragoons, Rupert was able to clear the enemy musketeers on his front before launching a large cavalry attack on Ramsey's position.
Sweeping forward, the Royalist horsemen crashed through the Ramsey's lines aided by the sudden defection of a troop of Parliamentarian horse. Driving off Ramsey's troops, Rupert's cavalry rode forward in pursuit. As Rupert's attack commenced, Wilmot charged forward on the Royalist left. Overrunning Fielding's men, Wilmot and additional cavalry, led by Lord Digby, chased the retreating enemy to Kineton where they began plundering the Parliamentarian baggage train. Despite the flight of the cavalry, Merrick's infantry stood firm as they engaged their opposite numbers.
As the close quarters fighting commenced, Balfour found that his reserve cavalry were the only mounted troops left on the field. Ordering his men forward, he directed his regiment and that of Sir Philip Stapleton to attack the flank of the Royalist infantry. Charging in, they shattered two Royalist regiments. This assault, coupled with a renewed effort from Merrick's men, drove the Royalists back. In the fighting Lindsey was killed and the royal standard briefly captured. Retreating to a ditch, the Royalists were able to begin re-forming and halted the Parliamentarian advance.
To Essex's rear, arriving Parliamentarian troops succeeded in driving off the Royalist cavalry which retreated back to Charles' lines. These fresh troops arrived too late in the day to allow Essex to renew his attack and a standoff ensued. The next morning, the Royalists initially withdrew back onto Edgehill while Essex fell back to in front of Kineton. As the day progressed, neither side sought to renew hostilities. While the Royalists ultimately departed Edgehill, Essex remained at Kineton to bury the dead.
Aftermath of Edgehill
Total casualties at Edgehill numbered around 1,000 killed and 2,000-3,000 wounded. The first major battle of the English Civil War, Edgehill proved largely inconclusive. Essex ultimately withdrew to Warwick opening the way to London for Charles. Rather than march directly on the capital, Charles moved at a slower pace capturing Banbury and then moving via Oxford, Aylesbury and Reading. This allowed Essex to recover and reach London first. Reinforced with the London Trained Bands, his army proved to powerful for Charles to attack. As a result, the Royalist army fell back to Oxford which became his wartime capital.

Bid to bring 'hustle and bustle' back to Milford fish docks
10:08am Monday 8th July 2013 in News By Elizaveta Young
A plan to bring the 'hustle and bustle' back to Wales' largest fishing port could see Milford Fish Docks get a rebrand.
The Port of Milford Haven has unveiled more details of its plans to strengthen the fishing industry at Milford Fish Docks and create a high quality brand for its fish and other seafood. Part of the port's £60million Milford Dock master plan, a major redevelopment is set to transform the entire area around Milford Fish Docks, bringing with it further growth and job opportunities.
New resources include high standard storage, processing, retail and tourism facilities in order to retain the catch landed in Milford Haven so that seafood caught in Pembrokeshire can be promoted as a brand. The investment plans follow a recent announcement by Assembly minister for natural resources and food Alun Davies, who confirmed his commitment to develop a marine and fisheries strategic action plan for Wales.
He said: "Work is underway to produce a comprehensive Marine and Fisheries Strategic Action Plan for Wales that will help create a more sustainable and profitable fishing industry in Wales.
"The success of our proposed plan relies on our ability to work in partnership with the Welsh fishing industry.
"As Wales' largest fishing port, Milford Haven has a very important role to play in helping to maximise the economic value of our seas in a sustainable way."
A Milford Fish Docks website was also launched at the Pembrokeshire Fish Week opening event, providing details about current services and facilities, access information and potential investment opportunities. Port of Milford Haven short sea director Kevin Hobbs, who is managing the development, said he hoped the former hustle and bustle of the fish docks would return to Milford.
He said: "Greater tonnages of fish can be handled here given the excellent quality and diverse species available in our fishing waters.
"Crucially though, we are creating wholesale and retail outlets, plus facilities to allow processors to add value to what is landed on the quayside for selling on across the UK.
"This will encourage growth and create jobs in the area as well as increasing the availability of locally sourced seafood for the consumer. "

So i see this fight is on. Very interesting. Whilst Tarver is passed his best, Green is no spring chicken and returning from surgery that could have ended his career.
Say what you will about the hand wraps, green would have knocked roy out regardless. He has always been a very heavy handed fighter.
Who wins?
Tarvers punch output has never been that good. but he is a good counter puncher, which may cause problems for Greens aggressive style.
I say Tarver by KO

If Mundine had ever pulled a stunt like fighting Paul Briggs he would've been crucified and rightly so. If I had to pick a point where I started disliking Green a little it was this fight. It really was a black mark for he sport of boxing.
That and the fact that all of his opponents lately are fighting for his supposed CW crown yet they all come in at 'Dannyweight.' What's that all about?
Stevenski did a very good job of replying to this. Mundine has done much worse and got away with it way longer than he should have. Not until he continued fighting bum after bum after bum for years, while running his mouth while never making the effort to fight the best of leave Australia did the people start catching on.
As for the catchweights they are nothing I really support at all, but Briggs didn't even bother training properly to make them anyways.
Siaca was a cynical attempt at beating Mundines conqueror. He had fought 4 times in 4 years prior, and was coming off a year long lay off. That is a least resistance fight based purely on sticking it to mundine
The Briggs fight was a disgrace. A 3 year lay off only to come back and fight for a title? Some dodgy strings were pulled in making that match
When i said he started down mundines yellow brick road of shit fights... you bet he did. Did he meet mundines mates the cowardly lion and the tin man, no, but he sure as hell shook hands with the scare crow. All I said was he dropped a few notches in my book. If he didnt drop a few notches in your own after those matches then there is something wrong with you
Is he anywhere near as bad as Mundine? No, not even close to the shit choc was pulling, but still... he tainted his fan base with some recent shitty fights.
Yes, in retrospect Jones was a carcass, but at the time he was supposed to beat Green. Granted. But realistically, Jones only looked good against Lacy because Lacy was a shell. Lacy gave people a false sense of security that Roy was back on track. He wasnt even close to the old roy, as demonstrated in the green fight and subsequent performances. If i am guilty of anything it is in overestimating Jones prior to the fight. But in the cold light of day, regardless of the prefight hype, Green fought a shot Jones. The prefight hype for Jones argument only carries you so far. It does not improve the actual quality of the win. That can only be determined by the quality of the opponent that steps into the ring on the night
Nothing wrong with me here!
I think Danny Green has been heavily criticized as I think people were/are expecting too much from him. It's not like he is considered the best nor claiming to be (like Mundine), not to mention, people forget to mention he was coming out of retirement and is now coming off a serious injury. Has Green fought the best at Cruiserweights? No, but when your the 'best' of any division it's hard for everyone to get a shot. I just don't think it's fair to compare Green's competition to something Mundine has mastered and is now become known for. Danny Green has many things Anthony Mundine lacks.
For the Paul Briggs fight, as it was out of left field & agree that the fight was shit, but I can see why it was made as it was a massive fight in Australia. The only thing that was more wrong about the fight being made was the disgusting effort Paul Briggs displayed which unjustifiably reflected on Green. The only dodgy strings pulled was by Briggs and the people around him and the commissions ended up ruling it that way. I can never forgive him for taking such a weak embarrassing dive which seemed to have hurt Danny Green's reputation just as much as himself, but on top of that many played Paul Briggs out to be some victim. Fuck that! I don't think Danny Green had anything to do with that dive and because of his disgust and embarrassment he showed inside the ring after the fight, Green ended up magnified the situation even more which didn't help the already fucked display that took place. All of his words were at the heat of the moment which came through the guys passion which he had every right feeling the way he did, but unfortunately may have not helped him. His UD victory over Flores in his nesxt fight was a good start.
As for Jones-Lacy, Jones was a shell of himself too, that was no secret to the boxing world! Some saw he wasn't at his best, based on how he looked after coming down from Heavyweight, but I think majority knew he was a shell of his former self back since he was KO'd good by Glen Johnson! As for the Lacy fight, they were two fighters past their best and labeled 'shot' but I don't think many were expecting Jones to look as impressive as he did leading into the fight, which was a credit to Jones.
As for Danny Green-Roy Jones Jr. fight, I really don't think anyone was thinking Jones wasn't shot and I also don't think anyone (including Hopkins) thought Green was going to win, despite how shot Roy was anyways. I think it was more a case of people underestimating what Danny Green was capable of. People like to discredit Green for losing to Mundine, truth is as bad a wrap Mundine rightfully gets, at one stage the guy really was a decent fighter (like against Green) who is one of the biggest waste of talents I have ever seen and since that fight, Danny Green has improved alot, while Mundine has declined and the paths both their careers have taken shows since. Just take a look at what divisions they're fighting in now & both their next opponents for proof.
Does Green victory over Jones mean anything to boxing? Not at all, because everyone knew Jones was well past his best days, had lost and been KO'd many times prior to that. But it's still impressive he could stop Roy Jones Jr quicker than anyone ever has. Danny Green was not and is still not meant to be some world beater, so for a limited fighter of his caliber to KO Roy Jones Jr in a 121 seconds despite how shot Roy was, is a pretty decent accomplishment, that shouldn't take away the quality of performance.
Bernard Hopkins who is considered one of the most talented fighters in the last 25 years who was top 3 P4P fighter in the world still justified fighting a 'carcass' of Jones who manage to look horrible for 12 rounds, spending most the time complaining, rolling around on the floor and still never manage to never have Jones hurt or in trouble. Despite how old and shot Roy was, Danny Green deserves respect for getting Jones out of there the way he did, because despite everyone knowing how shot he is, no one would have expected Jones to put up a better fight against Bernard Hopkins at that age than Danny Green.

Concessions International Opens Sam Adams and Dos Equis Explorer Lounge Bar Concepts at Atlanta International Airport Featuring iPad Ordering for Travelers Convenience(February 18, 2014)
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 18, 2014
Concessions International (CI) will open two new bar concepts at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Feb. 18, both with iPad-enabled ordering for the ultimate in-airport convenience and control. This is the first time that the innovative technology has been used at the ATL airport.
Samuel Adams Atlanta and Dos Equis Explorer Lounge will both open in Concourse B and are the first restaurants at the airport to offer tabletop iPad ordering, allowing travelers to browse the full food and beverage digital menu and order in minutes, from every seat in both locations and check flight status.
We strive to bring travelers the perfect balance of comfort and convenience, said CI President Anthony Joseph. The table-top ordering system allows travelers to order quickly without waiting for a server, so they can spend their limited time enjoying these well-loved brands in a warm, comfortable setting.
Thirty (30) iPad tablets with custom designed, secure stands allowing for easy access will be used at both concepts with a full, digital menu that showcases appetizing digital imagery with the convenience of ordering and paying for food and drinks in a fast paced environment. The wait staff is supported by a unique wireless paging system alerting them of ordering activity and requests for additional service. Guests also have the ability to check on weather or flight status in addition to playing games for entertainment. The software is provided by eTouch Menu and the menu design by Menu Masters.
Samuel Adams Atlanta will offer its distinctive hand-crafted beers, along with a wide variety of American fare, served up from nearby restaurants, including Paschals, Little Azios, and Café Tazza.
Through the power of mobile, we are able to offer our guests a wide variety of dining options through one central ordering platform, which also offers photos and more, said Joseph.
The Dos Equis Explorers Lounge will be the first time the brand has opened in an airport environment. The lounge will feature a cozy decor inspired by the journeys of the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man. The expanded menu is also available via iPad ordering and will feature a delicious array of taquitos, fresh salads, wraps, nachos and Dos Equis signature drinks. Early morning travelers can also stop by the restaurant for Mexican-inspired breakfast dishes.
The Dos Equis Explorers Lounge and Samuel Adams Atlanta will be operated by a joint venture between CI and H&H Hospitality, a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise owned by Kevin Holt and Randy Hazelton, founders and former operators of Café Circa, located in Atlantas Old Fourth Ward.
Concessions International operates numerous national and local QSR, fast casual and casual dining brands in eight airports across the U.S. and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Charlottesville City Council is making a bold move with a new proposed ordinance that would give benefits to legally married same-sex partners who work for the city.
The proposal is inspired by the recent Supreme Court ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Norris brought the proposal to the table at Monday night's council meeting. It's an ordinance that would recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and extend benefits to partners of those who work for the city of Charlottesville. It's one that the city of Richmond is currently considering.
"We're seeing strong majorities now both in the commonwealth of Virginia and across the country in favor or legalizing same-sex marriage," Norris said.
But even if council approves the ordinance, it would not immediately impact gay and lesbian employees of Charlottesville because same-sex marriage is not legal in Virginia.
Norris says it's a symbolic and forward-thinking proposal that everyone on council is on board with.
"It is contingent upon either the courts or our elected officials taking action but again we want to get out in front of it. We want to go on record saying we're ready to go because we believe it's going to happen. It's a matter of time and we want to be out in front," Norris said.
The decision ultimately lies in the hands of the courts or the General Assembly - and when the decision comes down Norris says the city will be ready. As Charlottesville follows in Richmond's footsteps, council hopes other local governments will do the same.
"If other cities take note and other counties take note and go on record hopefully this will put pressures on our elected officials in Richmond to do the right thing," Norris said.
Right now city staff and the city attorney are reviewing the proposal. Council hopes to have it on the agenda sometime next month to get public input and hopes to have it passed before the end of the year.

Legal Ethics
Judge texted during trial to help state, says ex-prosecutor
By Martha Neil
Jul 9, 2013, 06:00 am CDT
Come all you defendants who's feelin' scared,
Of a former prosecutor who badly erred,
Kaycee Jones was the lawyer's name,
By a serious misstep she won her shame.
She heard from a judge and she copied that text,
God only knows what she may do next,
In the wheels of justice she chucked a wrench,
But now in Texas she is on the bench.
By B. McLeod on 2013 07 09, 7:27 am CDT
Things like this are bound to slip through the cracks when you have 3.2 million judicial circuits.

Judge Horton had an an answer ,
By Docile Jim Brady – Columbus OH 43209 on 2013 07 09, 11:01 pm CDT
Of course looking at the insipid, suggested line of questioning, I am sure Judge Coker then sanctioned the prosecutor for asking the questions that Coker had suggested. The baby pooped on him?
By pablo on 2013 07 10, 4:53 pm CDT
I feel Judge Coker's pain here. All of us have watched an inexperienced attorney hashing up a case and wanted to intervene. ...And when a child's safety is at stake, the urge must become unbearable. At least for Judge Coker.
By Big Papa on 2013 07 12, 9:08 am CDT
I don't know about Texas, but in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, a judge is allowed to ask questions of any witness during trial. The jury would then be given an instruction that the court's questioning of a witness should not be considered in determining the overall credibility of a witness and that the Answers given should be judged by the same standard used to judge all testimony. That being the case, if the judge was so hell bent to have certain questions asked, why didn't the judge just ask them and not go through an intermediary? Inasmuch as the case resulted in an acquittal, maye the judge was attempting to assist the defense!
By MJnevtS on 2013 07 12, 9:56 am CDT
MJ, Federal Court judges can question a witness here in Texas, but not State Court judges. The system is entirely adversarial. The more paternal approach of judicial evidentiary engagement is rare in the southwest.
By Big Papa on 2013 07 12, 10:19 am CDT
Texas Rules of judicial Conduct 2A: " A judge shall comply with the law and should act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and IMPARTIALITY of the judiciary."
My caps…....how does the judge get off telling the DA how to prosecute the case? This conduct is a violation of the Texas Judicial Code…period. Coker needs to resign. Jones too. These two are "sorry" and only admitting these violations because they were caught otherwise they are just two more Texas judges bent on helping the prosecution obtain convictions. You cannot have any confidence in an impartial judiciary with judges like these two…...
By WINGCMDR on 2013 07 12, 1:34 pm CDT
In California, a judge is permitted to question witnesses. And there is a similar instruction that "Nothing I have said or done should influence [the jury]...." But if such is not permitted in Texas, then a judge who does so, either directly or through an intermediary, should be subject to appropriate sanctions. When that intermediary is a lawyer (now also a judge), that lawyer should also be subject to sanctions. But what is likely to happen to these paragons of the bench? Not a blasted thing.
I had a case once where the judge did his level best to assist the prosecutor in getting a conviction. It felt so very sweet when the Not Guilty verdict was read. And the look on both of their faces—priceless.
By Faulhaber on 2013 07 12, 5:42 pm CDT
Yep! It's improper, but I once stood in a district court in Harris County (Houston) and watched the judge cue the prosecutor verbally with the proper objection - which, of course, she promptly sustained when it was made. I was just a youngster at the time, and I was appalled. But that's when I thought that judges knew the law and were neutral arbitrators.
Given how our courts have defined reversible error [reverse if and only if the federal courts will reverse for Constitutional violations - the cynic's interpretation] and what the Judicial Standards Commission is perceived to do, this is just a tempest in a teapot.
By George Renneberg on 2013 07 12, 5:54 pm CDT
This story reminded me of the time I was in my office when my secretary told me that a particular trial judge was on the line for me. When I picked and said hi, all I could hear was the judge kind of whispering. When I said I could not hear him he said it was because he was on the bench in the middle of a criminal trial and had a question for me. Without telling me which side had cited the particular case to him, he wanted to know if that was "really" what the case held. When I said 'yes, judge that's correct," he said thanks and before he hung up I heard him say 'sustained.'
By Fnlawyer on 2013 07 12, 7:03 pm CDT
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I do not believe that State Bar Associations should have the responsibility of policing attorneys, or judges. This should be left up to the courts alone. Call me a libertarian. Call me jaded on the lawyer profession. Call me biased toward judges, who have to be balanced, who've seen it all, while learning to manage their calendars, learning how to appropriately value time.
Just don't call me late to supper.
By Tom Youngjohn on 2013 07 13, 5:50 pm CDT
"Jones adds, "I deeply regret that I acted in this manner. It was wrong and I knew better.""
Scary Bar Associations will ALWAYS get lawyers to testify against each other, to say things they might not actually believe. The defendant was acquitted. So what? In immigration court Immigration Judges interrupt counsel all the time to ask their own questions.
Y'all are nuts.
By Tom Youngjohn on 2013 07 13, 5:54 pm CDT
Is there really a difference between the judge texting questioning and a judge showing his detest for an attorney in front of a jury because he wants the other side to win. Even worse, what if a judge turns to the mic and breaths heavily in a boring fashion when an attorney is making a closing statement. The sigh was big enough for the jury to hear and the for jury to realize the judge didn't like the argument. This was an employment discrimination case, and he was is a Bush appointee.
Judges do little things all the time to push for one side or the others. So, it shouldn't be a surprise. However, it should be stopped.
By Ann Clark on 2013 07 16, 10:47 am CDT
@ann Clark: yes there is a difference. When a judge demonstrates his or her detest for an attorney in front of the jury or breathes a heavy sigh to reflect boredom with the speaker's closing argument, this is all done on the record and is available for appellate review. In Judge Coker's case, it was done stealthily and in a deceitful manner which would never be known by the appellate record and thus, possibly subject to reversal. What Judge Coker did is far, far worse and, IMHO, is sufficient cause for removal from the bench.
By fnlawyer on 2013 07 16, 11:26 am CDT
Calliny y'all nuts, that was a mistake for which I apologize. Reading fnlawyer's post in the context of Ann Clark's post makes me realize that what the judge did was wrong, and, I have to admit, was intentionally sneaky, so the judge knew it was wrong. So, well, maybe I was wrong. I'm wrong a lot of the time, I tell you.
That being admitted, I'd love someone cut and paste the rule(s) about judges themselves being able to question witnesses, in state versus federal court. Is it allowed? What are the limits? I think this is relevant to the article above, because apparently it is not allowed. Or it is frowned upon. Clearly the judge did not feel comfortable asking any questions. Immigration Judges ask witnesses questions often. This has been my experience for the past 18 years. Not only do Immigration Judges ask witnesses questions, at will, they are also the judges in immigration ethics proceedings, in a big way since 2009, when EOIR bumped up the rules comparable to the Rules of Professional Conduct (except with no attorney/client confidentiality.)
I'd love it if someone summarized the state vs federal rules about judges themselves being able to question witnesses. Thank you in advance if anyone bites.

The Celtics are about one-fifth of the way through their season, and over the course of their first 12 games there has been a lot to be concerned about and very little to make fans feel like this team will make a meaningful push through the playoffs. At this point even making the playoffs seems like a bit of a stretch.
Let's take a look at some things they can possibly build on and then take a look at the main reason why they are 4-8.
Rondo has developed into a different type of player this year. I went to the Mavericks and Thunder games this past week, and seeing him play in person made an observation by my friend Tung seem spot on. He noticed Rondo is more aggressive and savvy going to the hoop; he is finishing more consistently at the basket. His body-control is outstanding, and I think that has also translated to his jump shot, which many thought would never come.
If you look at Rondo's shooting numbers, every stat has gone up. His field goal percentage has gone up 2%, along with his free throw percentage, his true shooting percentage, and his effective field goal percentage. This translates to him scoring 4 more points a game, while still keeping his assists per game above 10.
Some may argue that 2% is not that big of a jump. However, when you consider that Rondo (in a small sample size) is also shooting the ball nearly twice more per game, it becomes very significant. And he is taking more shots from the outside, meaning his percentage is going up even while taking more difficult shots.

Las Vegas Metro police arrested a man suspected of attacking two small girls and trying to pull down one's pants at a school bus stop.
Police on Wednesday evening identified the suspect as 20-year-old Abdul Munem Jumaalkam. He was booked into Clark County Detention Center on one count of lewdness with a minor under 14.
Jeri Kennedy, the father of one of the girls, told FOX5 he was outside watching the two at their school bus stop on Castlewood Drive and Sirius Avenue.
"It just blew my mind that it happened like that," Kennedy said.
At around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Kennedy saw a strange man walking down the street. Moments later he heard his daughter scream.
"My daughter starts screaming and hollering: 'the man, the man, the bad man!'"
Kennedy said his 6-year-old girl was able to get away, but her 7-year-old friend was now in trouble.
"About the time I pop up, he's got the other girl inside the bushes here trying to pull her pants down," Kennedy recalled.
Kennedy got a good look at the man. He tried to grab him before fleeing the area.
Just before 11 a.m., Kennedy spotted and identified Jumaalkam down the street at Cashman Park.
"I see the dude in the park," Kennedy said. "He dropped his head when he saw me."
Metro police told FOX5 that any case involving a child is taken seriously - especially since thousands wait for a school bus every day.
"We're talking about defenseless individuals," said department spokeswoman Laura Meltzer.
Meltzer suggests parents teach kids to be aware of their surroundings.
"If a child is not of an age to be left home alone, then that child is not of age to be left out on a public street alone," she said. "So, if we're talking about children, then parental supervision is a must."
This case, however, proves even supervision is not always foolproof.
"It blew my mind he did that while I'm standing right here," said Kennedy.

21. Pine, Loblolly
Loblolly pine is found in pure stands and in mixtures with other pines or hardwoods. When loblolly pine predominates, it forms the forest cover type Loblolly Pine (Society of American Foresters Type 81). Within their natural ranges, longleaf, shortleaf, and Virginia pine (Pinus palustris, P. echinata, and P. virginiana), southern red, white, post, and blackjack oak (Quercus falcata, Q. alba, Q. stellata, and Q. marilandica), sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) are frequent associates on well-drained sites.
22. Pine, Lodgepole
23. Pine, Longleaf
The principal longleaf cover types are Longleaf Pine (Society of American Foresters Type 70), Longleaf Pine-Scrub Oak (Type 71), and Longleaf Pine-Slash Pine (Type 83). Longleaf pine is also a minor component of other forest types within its range: Sand Pine (Type 69), Shortleaf Pine (Type 75), Loblolly Pine (Type 81), Loblolly Pine-Hardwoods (Type 82), Slash Pine (Type 84), and South Florida Slash Pine (Type 111).
24. Pine, Pinyon
Pinyon is a minor component of the following forest cover types: Bristlecone Pine (Society of American Foresters (Type 209), Interior Douglas-Fir (Type 210), Rocky Mountain Juniper (Type 220), Interior Ponderosa Pine (Type 237), Arizona Cypress (Type 240), and Western Live Oak (Type 241). It is an integral component in Pinyon-Juniper (Type 239) over a large area. However, as the type extends westward, pinyon is replaced by singleleaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) in Nevada and some localities in western Utah and northwestern Arizona. Southward along the Mexican border, Mexican pinyon (P. cembroides var. bicolor), recently given separate species status as border pinyon (P. discolor), becomes the dominant tree in the woodlands.
25. Pine, Pitch
Pitch pine is the major component of the forest cover type Pitch Pine (Society of American Foresters Type 45) and is listed as an associate in nine other types: Eastern White Pine (Type 21), , Chestnut Oak (Type 44), White Pine-Chestnut Oak (Type 51), White Oak-Black Oak-Northern Red Oak (Type 52), Shortleaf Pine (Type 75), Virginia Pine-Oak (Type 78), Virginia Pine (Type 79), and Atlantic White-Cedar (Type 97).
26. Pine, Ponderosa
Ponderosa pine is an integral component of three forest cover types in the West: Interior Ponderosa Pine (Society of American Foresters Type 237), Pacific Ponderosa Pine-Douglas-Fir (Type 244), and Pacific Ponderosa Pine (Type 245). Interior Ponderosa Pine is the most widespread type, covering most of the range of the species from Canada to Mexico, and from the Plains States to the Sierra Nevada, and the east side of the Cascade Mountains. Ponderosa pine is also a component of 65 percent of all western forest cover types south of the boreal forest.
27. Pine, Red
In parts of the northern Lake States, Ontario, and Quebec, red pine grows in extensive pure stands and in the Northeast and eastern Canada in small pure stands. More often it is found with jack pine (Pinus banksiana), eastern white pine (P. strobus), or both. It is a common component in three forest cover types: Red Pine (Society of American Foresters Type 15), Jack Pine (Type 1), and Eastern White Pine (Type 21) and is an occasional associate in one, Northern Pin Oak (Type 14).
28. Pine, Shortleaf
Shortleaf pine is now considered a major component of three forest cover types (Society of American Foresters, 16), Shortleaf Pine (Type 75), Shortleaf Pine-Oak (Type 76), and Loblolly Pine-Shortleaf Pine (Type 80). Although shortleaf pine grows very well on good sites, it is generally only temporary and gives way to more competitive species, particularly hardwoods. It is more competitive on drier sites with thin, rocky, and nutrient deficient soils. With the species' ability to grow on the medium and poor sites, it is not surprising that shortleaf pine is a minor component of at least 15 other forest cover types.
29. Pine, Slash
30. Pine, Sugar
Sugar pine is a major timber species at middle elevations in the Klamath and Siskiyou Mountains, Cascade, Sierra Nevada, Transverse, and Peninsula Ranges. Rarely forming pure stands, it grows singly or in small groups of trees. It is the main component in the forest cover type Sierra Nevada Mixed Conifer (Society of American Foresters Type 243).

Accounts Payable Procedures
This chapter contains policies and procedures relating to the payment of all invoices for the University, including both purchase order and non-purchase order items. These policies are intended to be guidelines for processing all expenditure documents through Accounts Payable. The responsibility to observe these guidelines is that of both the employee and the department dean/director/chair who approve such expenditures.
ScopeThe material in this chapter pertains to all employees and departments of the University, regardless of the index to be charged.
This material is not all inclusive, but is intended to cover those policies and procedures which should be referenced on a more than casual basis by a significant portion of the University community. If you cannot find policies and procedures in this chapter that relate to your situation or if you need interpretative assistance, please contact the General/Auxiliary Accounting area or the Director's office, as appropriate.
PolicyAccounts Payable is responsible for accurate and timely payment of all invoices for the University. This includes all payments on purchase orders, blanket purchase orders, check requests, travel advances and travel expense vouchers, petty cash, freight bills and fellowship payments.
Inquiries from vendors regarding the status of unpaid invoices are generally handled by Accounts Payable personnel. If invoices have been sent directly to the department by the vendor, or have not been returned to Accounts Payable with the necessary information (index, acct, PO number, signature) the department will be expected to respond to inquiries from the vendor. It is extremely important for the University to maintain a satisfactory credit standing with vendors and prompt payment ensures this.
Payment of Non PO's - Check RequestCertain types of items can be purchased without a university purchase order. Listed below are items which are normally paid on a check request.
Check requests can be also be processed on the web. Click here to get there.
Exemption from Sales/Use TaxMichigan Technological University, as an institution of the State of Michigan, is exempt from the payment of sales and use taxes on purchases of tangible property and applicable rentals. However, the University is liable for the collection and payment of the tax on sales and rental transactions to non-exempt individuals and organizations.
Use of the University's sales and use tax number for personal use is prohibited.
Generally payment or reimbursement of Michigan sales and use tax will not be made. The University is also exempt from the payment of sales tax in Wisconsin and Florida.
Bank Drafts in Foreign CurrencyAccounts Payable processes foreign currency bank drafts when vendors require payment in foreign currency.
Payment of Freight InvoicesAccounts Payable receives and pays freight invoices. When items are being returned, it is essential for the department to instruct the carrier to include a university index, purchase order number or employee name on the freight bill. If a freight bill does not include an index or purchase order number, it is extremely difficult to process the invoice for payment.
If prepayment is required, a check request must be received in Accounts Payable at a minimum of five business days prior to the check being needed.
Petty Cash PaymentsA department may establish a petty cash fund to purchase minor supplies when it would be otherwise impractical to purchase items through the usual purchasing methods. A check request and original receipts must be sent to Accounts Payable for replenishment of petty cash funds.
Click here for PROCEDURE
Travel Advances and ReimbursementsIndividuals traveling on University business may be reimbursed for necessary and reasonable expenses incurred. A cash advance may be requested by submitting a Request for Advance of Funds to Accounts Payable prior to traveling for those employees who do not have an American Express Corporate Card. A Travel Expense Voucher with original receipts must be sent to Accounting Services to request reimbursement of incurred travel expenses.
Click here for PROCEDURE
Business Meal Reimbursements
All business meals and banquet costs incurred by University employees hosting these events should be paid directly by the employee, unless the event is held at University facilities. Reimbursement requests are processed on a Business Meals and Banquet Report with original receipts attached and submitted to Accounts Payable. Events held at University facilities are interaccount billed by the facility.
Payment of Moving ExpensesThe University may reimburse new employees for allowable moving expenses, limited to the amount of one month's salary. Current employees who are assigned to a remote work area on behalf of the University may also be reimbursed for allowable moving expenses up to $6,000. Reimbursement is requested by submitting a travel voucher and original receipts to Accounts Payable.
Click here for PROCEDURE
Stop Payment/Cancelled CheckOccasionally checks may be lost, stolen or incorrect which requires a stop payment and reissue of the check. Accounts Payable is responsible for issuing a replacement check.
Departments requiring a stop payment on an operating/accounts payable (non-payroll) check should contact the Manager of Banking Operations and Auxiliary Accounting immediately upon realizing a check is lost or stolen. If a stop payment is required on a payroll check, Payroll Services must be contacted.
Accounting services issues the stop payment with the bank. A replacement check will be issued. Generally, if a non-student check is reissued 30 days after the date of the check, there is no fee. However, if the reissue is prior to 30 days from the check date, there will be a fee. If a student refund check is reissued after 15 days from the date of the check, there is no fee. If the reissue is prior to 15 days from the date of the check, there will be a fee.
Accounts Payable is also responsible for maintaining the check cancellation function. If a check must be canceled due to an inaccurate amount, an incorrect vendor name, or an incorrect address and a replacement is not needed, the check must be sent to Accounts Payable with a note indicating the check must be canceled.
Library Purchase Order Payments
The JR Van Pelt Library issues purchase orders directly to vendors due to the unique nature of the items (books, journals, subscriptions, periodicals, etc.) being purchased. Accounts Payable receives the invoices from the Library and processes them for payment.
Campus Store Purchase Orders
The Campus Store and University Images also issue purchase orders directly to vendors due to the nature of their business. It is practical and efficient since items being ordered are for retail sales. Invoices are entered by these units into their point of sale system and interfaced to accounts payable for payment. Checks are distributed by Accounts Payable.
Fellowship PaymentsFellowship checks are distributed monthly by Accounts Payable to be available at the beginning of each month.
Departments enter student fellowship information into the Banner system by the 11th of each month. The registration status, index and any withholding requirements are verified by Accounting.
The University is required by federal law to withhold taxes on fellowships payments to some nonresident alien students depending on their visa status and tax treaties. The withholding requirements are determined by the University tax accountant.
Accounts Payable distributes the fellowship checks to the departments. They are normally available on the 24th of the month. Check requests may also be processed for fellowship payments.

Andrew Luck doesn't appear to be experiencing any issues throwing the ball against the Jaguars on Thursday night. The rookie has completed 7 of 9 passes to start the game, adding in a rushing touchdown at the start of the second quarter to extend the Colts lead.
Jacksonville continues to struggle on offense, so Luck should have plenty of time with the ball in his hands.
Fantasy Impact: It doesn't matter how he does it, as long as Luck gets in the end zone his owners are happy. He made a nice run to the outside to punch it in, putting Indianapolis on top 10-0.
The Jaguars aren't too impressive on either side of the ball, so we can expect more impressive plays from Luck tonight.
