On Thursday, Anthony David Yee had been willing to accept the prosecution's offer, according to his attorney, Eric Ortner. Ortner said the decision had been made after several discussions with the defendant and separate discussions with District Attorney Mike Ramsey about specifics.
However, when the case returned to Butte County Superior Court today, Ortner said the plea change would not go forward and Yee had decided to go to trial.
Ortner had discussed the matter with Yee following a closed-door hearing where the defendant sought to replace his court-appointed attorney. The motion was denied.
Judge Steven Howell set a hearing next Thursday when a trial date may be set.
Yee is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly striking his mother, Judith Nathan, repeatedly on the head with a hammer on Dec. 19, 2011. He then allegedly sought a location to place the body before putting it in the septic tank at Nathan's White Avenue residence in Chico.
The defendant also faces the special circumstances that he was lying in wait and that he committed the crime during a burglary.
If Yee is convicted of both the crime and circumstances, he could be sentenced to death or life in prison without possibility of parole.
Outside of court, Ortner said he didn't know why Yee changed his mind.
Yee has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. The insanity plea prompted two medical health evaluations which were filed last month.
When the case reaches trial, an initial trial will be held to determine guilt. If Yee is found guilty, a second trial would be held to determine whether he was insane at the time of the crime.
Deputy district attorney Kennedy Rizzuto said Friday the doctors' reports and proposed offer were confidential. She said she had hoped Yee would have accepted to the offer to start the healing process.
"The evidence and doctors' reports show Mr. Yee has run out of options," Rizzuto said. "We had hoped he would recognize this and accept our plea offer."
Yee remains in custody without bail.

Southern Gardening: Colors emerge with fall foliage
Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year, something that probably has a lot to do with my growing up in Michigan, where I enjoyed cooler temperatures and trees changing colors.
Here in Mississippi, I enjoy waking up in the morning and feeling that chill in the air. I guess I am finally becoming acclimated because even 70 degrees feels chilly after a hot and humid Mississippi summer.

The Lodge at Lake Dillon is a beautifully maintained building with numerous amenities. The Covered Entryway allows easy dry loading and unloading and the Elevator makes this condo Wheelchair Accessible.
This review was sent via email. I thought it was quite unique so decided to post.
"Shannon, this is the best equipped VRBO we have seen so far. Marvin must use this as a VRBO marketing example how it should be.
In other places we find next to nothing. But then, if an owner would put all these convenience things into a home in France for example, the French renters would take everything with them when they leave...
Anyway, we enjoyed the condo even if some half days were cold and rainy."
Summit County is the heart of Colorado recreation and Dillon is the heart of Summit County. The county offers year-round vacationing options of every type. The Lodge at Lake Dillon sits on a bluff overlooking the lake with Spectacular Views of the Lake, Marina, and Keystone ski runs all four seasons! Imagine ending your day on the Private Balcony, cooking on the Gas BBQ Grill, eating and looking across the lake at the lights of the homes on the opposite mountain and during ski season, the lighted runs at Keystone.
Winter in Summit County:
Skiers will love the quick access to Keystone Ski Area, just 6 miles away, as well as the close proximity to Breckenridge Resort, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin ski area (usually open until mid-June), and Vail/Beaver Creek.

It was in a fantastic location. We could walk almost anywhere from where we were staying. Spacious room with nice amenities. Surprisingly quiet stay despite the fact it was during the weekend of Chicago Comic Con. And the service was good as well. Overall, a nice, comfortable hotel, but nothing super special.
As the same with everyone else, parking really takes a toll (pun slightly intended). And I guess, for the price, I expected something just a little nicer. You're mostly paying for the convenient location, which granted, it is. I would stay again but only after exploring other options.

The front desk was prompt to fix everything and gave us complementary internet for three days for our trouble. Also the pool was freezing! And sauna not hot but they were doing repairs the next week hopefully to fix that! I cannot say enough good things about the free breakfast and cocktail hour..that was great! The hotel is not close to any cheap eats.(walking distance) it is very close to train so you can get to city and save on parking downtown,and the kids really like that. Defiantly had a memorable trip would stay here again anytime! Best rate I found on internet for Chicago area as well!

The bed really was comfortable, and the two-room suite was of acceptable size, as advertised. The interior doors were flimsy, the heat-A/C had only two real settings: too hot and too cold. Small details weren't attended to: secondary door latch and ethernet cable were in disrepair, no wastebasket in the shared bathroom. Ethernet/wifi is extra, parking is not included ($25/day; remember, this by the airport, not downtown). On the plus side, breakfasts were well above average, though one of the two days we were told there was simply no cream cheese. We weren't there to try to evening reception/happy hour.

Obama and the wrong side of history
—Bernd Debusmann is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.—
Ringing words, smoothly delivered: "To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
Did that memorable line from President Barack Obama's inaugural address on January 20 mean his administration would break with a long American tradition of paying lip service to democracy and human rights while supporting authoritarian rulers friendly to Washington? Too early to say for sure, but probably not.
Four months into his presidency, Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, lean towards pragmatism over ideology and principle, closer in foreign policy outlook to Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger than to George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice.
On her first official visit to China, Clinton said concern over human rights must not "interfere" with cooperation on the global financial crisis, climate change and security issues such as North Korea's nuclear arms programme.
As for those on the wrong side of history, one leader who fits Obama's description is President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, from where the U.S. president is scheduled to make a high-profile speech to the Muslim world early in June.
A long-time U.S. ally, Mubarak has been in power since 1981. He won uncontested elections four times. The fifth and latest, in 2005, featured charges of vote-rigging and the arrest of his main opponent.
The U.S. Department of State, which issues annual reports on human rights, gives Egypt poor grades and notes "the government's respect for freedoms of press, association and religion declined during the year (2008)." No unclenched fist here.
To boot, Mubarak has played host and acted as a sponsor to Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese president who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague for war crimes in Darfur. The court issued a warrant for Bashir's arrest in March.
At the height of the Bush administration's "freedom agenda," the second-term drive for "democracy promotion," Washington publicly scolded Mubarak. Rice, during a visit to Cairo, announced a break with the past:
"For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in the region. And we achieved neither. Now we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of the people."
By 2005, when Rice made her democratic aspirations speech, the U.S. image in the Arab world was so badly tarnished by the war in Iraq, the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and Guantanamo that few Arabs were inclined to believe anything the Bush administration said.
Her remark stood out for its bluntness and its venue but the idea was not new. Support for democracy against dictatorships has been a key theme of American foreign policy since the U.S. rose to big power status at the turn of the 20th century.
That did not keep the U.S. from overthrowing democratically-elected leaders it did not like (Chile's Salvador Allende, Guatemala's Jacobo Arbenz) and propping up dictators it did (the Shah of Iran, Congo's Mobutu Sese Seko, Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines). Saying one thing and doing another earned the U.S. an enduring reputation for hypocrisy.
The Bush administration's enthusiasm for democracy promotion in the Middle East fizzled rapidly after the Islamist group Hamas, shunned as a terrorist group by the West, won a resounding electoral victory in Gaza in 2006. Since then, part of the American foreign policy establishment has framed the alternatives in the region as Islamists or authoritarians.
If there were free elections today in Egypt, many experts predict that the Muslim Brotherhood, whose aim is the establishment of an Islamic state, would win easily, an uncomfortable prospect for Washington.
To push an Arab peace plan Obama wants to make part of an effort to create a Palestinian state side-by-side with Israel, Mubarak is clearly a better partner even though he may be on the wrong side of history. The plan offers Israel normal relations with all Arab states in return for withdrawing from territory it seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
The plan was first floated by Saudi Arabia, another staunch U.S. ally far from democracy and prone to silence dissent.
How (and whether) Obama intends to persuade countries on the wrong side of history to switch to the right side should become clear in his speech to the Muslim world. It could be a turning point in America's relations with a fifth of the world's population, but there is a lot that could go wrong, even for a president with Obama's charisma and outstanding political skills. Not to mention a middle name that resonates: Hussein.
The goal he set himself for the speech, spelt out before he took office, is ambitious: "Reboot America's image" in the Muslim world. Words alone won't do it, but they are a start.

So you can't get past your personal issues, unfortunate but not uncommon. I ask what need does an innocent person have to use the 5th amendment now? Just because you don't understand the system doesn't make it illogical. Your ideas that ignorance of the law should be a defense is illogical, expecting a legal system that needs to deal with the real world could be easily grasped by everyone is illogical. Thinking the the "dinosaur" system is going to change anytime soon is illogical. Good luck getting that MRI tech in a courtroom, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you waiting for any major changes.
I guess the ability to post on the internet doesn't correlate with logic or common sense. You'd think I'd have learned that already, but I try to hope.
Ed! you make it too easy for me
ed said
"Your ideas that ignorance of the law should be a defense is illogical,"
One, if you READ, you will realize I never said that ignorance of the law should be used as a defense.
I said the system is idiotic saying that "Ignorance of the law is not excuse for breaking the law", and yet, their are so many laws on books, no ONE PERSON, Judge or Lawyer, knows all the laws. The Tax code alone is so complex people have to specialize in it, and it alone.
Imagine how easy it could all be if you could just ask someone if they cheated on their taxes and discover the truth with the MRI?
Ed said
"expecting a legal system that needs to deal with the real world could be easily grasped by everyone is illogical."
You know, I really want a legal system that deals Wonderland, or Never-Never land, and most certainly not a legal system that deals with the "REAL WORLD" that everyone can understand. That would be asking too much wouldn't it?
what do you mean? I mean its not a very in depth analysis.
What "Socialism?" and Why?
If I used the exact same approach to capitalism I could similarly say:
Under capitalism the bourgeoisie controls production and appropriates society's wealth for itself.
Except my sentence is more specific and less hazy in general. Even so, it means nothing. Talking like this is throwing out conclusions without arguments.
I could ask; what "Socialism," how does it control the money, why does dole it out and what people does it consider qualified and why?
Unfortunately, shallow generalizations will get stuck at this point.
There is no such thing as a shallow, general Socialism. If you are discussing the USSR, then cover the historical and economic conditions of the USSR.
If you are talking Marx's conception, analyze the historical content of Marx's writings,
If you are talking about the ravings of televangelists and businessmen then explain the historical impressions and pressures around them that are underneath this idea of a shallow, general "Socialism"
I've defined for you here what being a Socialist is i.e. a historical materialist, and that is how a Socialist would begin to approach Socialism, not through shadowy impressions and abstract generalizations or regurgitation of "analysts" who employ the same means.
Hello Edward, C.D.
Here are couple questions that I guess you didn't have to answer for long time.
How do you see the purpose of Law and Legal system?
How do you measure effectiveness of legal system?
Thank you. You've given me something to consider.
I'm attempting to be broad because I'm trying to speak to a wide variety of individual experience. The more specific one becomes, the easier it is to point to specific examples and generalize the implications across a wide variety of individual lives.
That is to say, that if I speak of autoworkers as a specific group and give my perception of the general trend that that group is following, it's quite easy for some one else to say that this or that particular person in a similar circumstance had a different outcome, and therefore the whole original assertion is invalid.
You can see examples of this throughout these posts. It's the nature of debate.
I'm getting (or at least feebly trying), to get to the root cause of the general economic problem.
I have identified this problem as being an over valuation of currency against the undervaluation of human capitol. I really don't care what label anyone wants to put on it. The problem is still there just the same.
Currency is the means to exchange things that have real value for us. As a means of exchange the federal reserve/treasury operate on the principle of limiting the amount of currency in the system and setting its value according to its own criteria.
Profit is the accumulation of this limited resource which results in a debt somewhere else in the system. Look around you if you need proof. Now we go to "quantitative easing". Just printing money. The whole time all of this is going on, people are loosing their homes. Others die because of lack of insurance. This list of human suffering is long.
And some how we are supposed to accept the idea, that a failure in a system revolving around fake wealth is supposed to translate into human suffering. This idea is absurd when viewed from this perspective.
I don't care about the details of socialism vs any ism. The ism is not the problem at all. The problem is in the idea of holding a resource which is dependent upon us for its value, as being superior to its human creators.
This principle underlies every current attempt at remedy we've so far seen. The idea of putting the citizen first is only lip service. The results speak for themselves. This economy will get much worse. The United States is becoming weak, and the Chinese are becoming hungry to assert their presence.
Here's an article on this site that speaks to the root cause of suffering I've identified in these forums. All I did was go to the main page.
http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticN ews/idUSN2754905920090528
"That is to say, that if I speak of autoworkers as a specific group and give my perception of the general trend that that group is following, it's quite easy for some one else to say that this or that particular person in a similar circumstance had a different outcome, and therefore the whole original assertion is invalid"
That is an awful lot of words that don't say much.
Kinda like some people who i have worked with- They move around a lot, but don't do much, BUT, expect to get paid as much as someone who works their ass off.
You put a lot of words out there, without saying much.
Now instead of speaking your points clearly, you reference another Web page.
"How do you see the purpose of Law and Legal system?
How do you measure effectiveness of legal system?"
Fantastic questions. The purpose of any Code of Laws is to ensure Justice is meted out with fairness to every sect of society.
The effectiveness of a legal system is extremely tricky to gauge. If a Code of Laws is unfairly biased towards a section of society (like business), that section of society believes that the Code of Laws is very effective (for them of course), while everyone else within the Code of Laws believes it is very ineffective.
The effectiveness of a Legal System is a purely a point of view. O.J. Simpson I'm sure LOVED the legal system when he got off. Of course now, I'm sure he believes it is unfair.
Business always hails the Justice of the Legal system when the win, and denounces it when they lose. Go figure.
Of course Business has the Deep Pockets with which to pay Lawyers to constantly file motions, and other legal terms to push court dates back and back. Look at Chevron and their 15 year court case in South America.
Chevron, I'm sure, Loves the legal system since they have pushed court dates into the future. While those pursuing Chevron denounce the system.
I ask you, in whose favor does this system benefit more?
Those with money enough to pay for YEARS of litigation, or the poor, who without money, cannot PAY FOR JUSTICE.
you decide.
True justice is when the law of the day is applied to the facts. No more, no less.
The legal system is designed to be fair, to the point of brutality. Fair does not mean the parties have a 50-50 chance of victory. It means both parties are treated the same, even if they enter on an unequal footing.
Subjective justice is what people think they deserve from the court. And what people may think they deserve has no bearing on how the law is applied.
anon, love all the anon
"The legal system is designed to be fair, to the point of brutality. Fair does not mean the parties have a 50-50 chance of victory. It means both parties are treated the same, even if they enter on an unequal footing"
When can an individual ever enter a courtroom on equal footing with a "MULTINATIONAL"?
How much to the Good Lawyers cost? Hmmmmmm
Who can pay those rates? hmmmmmm
Nope, the system is in no way slanted towards those who have money.
AND when two "Multinationals" go at it, for how many YEARS do those things go on?
Lawyers i bet drool with anticipation, and about kill each other to get their hands on a TEN year fight like that, MY GOD how much an hour? For ten years!?!?!?!
As I said before, the four factors of production determine productivity. Not just for the economy itself, but for the individual.
Take the humble farmer. He posesses a farm (Land). He works that farm (Labour). He purchases grain, machinery or animals as an investment(Capital). And he uses those three resources in order to profit (Enterprise).
Money is not a resource in itself. It is a currency used for the exchange of resources.
If people have resources to sell, then they get money.
To believe that you can simply take profit and GDP and scatter it around is error. It is artificial and has nothing to do with the economic system.
Regardless of what anyone may say, profit is what drives the economy. Even if some regulation in the right areas may help keep it on an even keel.
If you disagree, that is fine. As long as your disagreement is based on at least a high school level understanding of economics.
How many times has a farmer ripped you off?
The fact that you can't even understand the true duties of a judge and jury speaks volumes.
It is obvious that you have bitter preconceived notions about lawyers(and politicians, businessmen, investors and anyone richer or more powerful then you). It is not my business to try and change your mind. From your posts, I doubt you ever will.
When people get on the soapbox and preach anti-elitist ideas, they show their own ignorance more then anything else. And while they may not care, others can see it quite clearly.
Aside from that, there is little more to be said.
"Money is not a resource in itself. It is a currency used for the exchange of resources. "
What does it say then, about "Business" and "Banks" in general when they know this "Currency" needs to flow, and they purposely create the economic, social, political, and judicial situation where the "Credit" wont flow?
If i wanted to grab as much land as I could, i would try to get as many people in "Homes" that were "WAY TO EXPENSIVE" for them, on purpose,ON CREDIT, "KNOWING" they couldn't pay eventually, (Especially if i got my OIL buddies AT THE SAME TIME to inflate the value of OIL, CUTTING INTO THE POCKETS OF AMERICANS)and it would be only a matter of time before they would default, foreclose, and who then holds the DEEDs? Communist banks supported by the FEDERAL RESERVE (who sets inflation, making property more and more expensive) get to take as much "PRIVATE PROPERTY" as the could scam out of the Public, and the OIL DICKS got to rake in "Record Breaking Profits", Now the bailouts go to WHOM!!!
How is that for High School
Come gather round, listen to my story
about our flag nicknamed "Old Glory"
What is a flag but canvas and thread?
She means more to my heart and head.
Blue of Royalty, now stands for Nobility
a certainty white stands for OUR Purity
We Free the world with the Red blood we bleed
For honor she stands, the red white and blue
she stands for the common man, me and you
The foundation of the worlds Justice
She no longer stands for Just US
Tyrants tremble at the mention of her name
To them she forever brings great shame
I tremble at her sight, thinking of all those who've died
Protecting what's right, for her sons, America has cried
I dream a dream of better things
of places and deeds of greater needs
We fight for the right
by GODS sight
See how evil has been diminished?
We won't stop until it is finished.
I am proud to walk Americas free land
I pledge the flag with heart under hand
I promise soldiers long past
They died holding on to duty and honor
I HONOR them every time my eyes fall on her
OUR flag of canvas and thread
Don't you dare on her tread
Time grows short, this my story soon ends
Look at OLD GLORY, see how in the wind she bends?
Only by some sorry twist of fate
Our flag of FREEDOM will never Break!
C. D. Walker
Self proclaimed prophet,
Wishes to preach so badly,
He fails to listen.
Interesting, ignorance is still on parade, now joined by jealousy, bitterness and paranoia. I guess bad poetry and typing in ALL CAPS passes for intelligent debate on the internet.
The great thing about that is you don't even need to say anything to make someone like that look foolish, they do it for you. There's a bit of advice I often give to these people, it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Thanks for removing the doubt.
We yet to collect Ed's opinion on purpose of Law and Justice.
But so far C.D. & Anon opinion/observation that Law & Justice is all about "Sniff out crime and brush it away". That what we see in US.
US/Russia go head to head in % population in prison US ~0.7% Russia ~0.6% (China ~0.1%).
While number of lawyers more than in the rest of the world combined.
"Sniff out crime and brush it away" – that was the order that Tzar Ivan 'the Terrible' gave his guards in XV century.
Most of civilize world use Law & Justice system the identify troublemakers and steer them back to society while US/China/Russia see Law & Justice in light of XV century.
I am not a big prison advocate. But numbers speak for themselves.
System also fails in big business Cases when Judge & lawyers end up in bazaar bargains while crooks ALWAYS walk away.
I was in Small Courts at least 10 times all over NY/NJ/PA fighting speeding tickets :)). I was paying my 'speed taxes' and had my chance to see justice at work.
I was really surprise always to see Prosecutors & Judges go really long way to help people AVOID heavy penalties. In most cases even moderate penalties would ruin someone live beyond repair. Prosecutors & Judges always look like really moral persons, but it was dead clear that they can strike at will.
Here is one of my favorite quotes:
"We and State police troopers realize that traffic law is quite unreasonable, so if somebody would like plea guilty and trade 2 points for $xxx please see me…".
To C.D.,
I respect your feeling and glad that there are some people around who type in CAPS when it comes to the Flag and History of their country. That what make the backbone of the Nation. Countries without nation quickly sink into bloody bath of civil wars just look around the globe.
But when you are wrong when you talk about greedy bankers vs. 'old good days'.
Because there were very few 'old good days'. Life always was tough here in US and more tough abroad. This is human nature that when we write stories about everyday tough life we mentions only bright spots. Even with greedy bankers and faulty law US moves forward getting more and more prosperous.America seams to be able reinvent herself in times of crises. But we all afraid of fine print 'Past performance doesn't guarantee future results'.
"Sniff out crime and brush it away" That might have been for a Tzar,
But here in America, when we "Sniff out Crime", we make the criminal pay a penance, we don't "Brush it Away"
It's funny I can't remember the last time I thought about the purpose of the Law. I think I would summarize the purpose of the law is to order society in a just manner, to protect the innocent, punish the guilty and provide means other than brute force to decide disputes.
How do I rate a system, well I would see how it treats the weak against the strong. Certainly, our system fails on that basis for many reasons. Money certainly provides an unfair advantage, but as long as their are differences in people's wealth, that will sadly be the case. Can our system be improved, certainly, does that mean we need brain scans or to eliminate lawyers, no.
Thank you Ed,
I certainly don't want see the Law without lawyers.
I also don't like to see someone case being decided by MRI based lie-detector. I used to design medical imaging equipment before I sold my sole to finance :).
We all seam to agree that Law is hostage to people who supposed to serve the Law (Judges and lawyers). The lawyer's service is prohibiting expensive that give rich and corporates unfair advantage. Judges and lawyers also make most people who write the Law of this land. It It means that all changes to legal system come from inside and all system have really hard time to evolve from inside.
Ed, what do you think about codified law like in most European countries?
AFAIK US common Law relies on endless precedents. They tend to stay the same while World around changes ever faster :).
"To believe that you can simply take profit and GDP and scatter it around is error. It is artificial and has nothing to do with the economic system.
Regardless of what anyone may say, profit is what drives the economy. Even if some regulation in the right areas may help keep it on an even keel.
If you disagree, that is fine. As long as your disagreement is based on at least a high school level understanding of economics."
I can point to the free open software movement and the principles that drive the innovation found there. I can point to its success, and come to the logical conclusion that if the principle applies to code, then it applies to currency because currency occupies a similar place.
Equal distribution of GDP does not represent some two dimensional idea of the government simply pumping money into undeserving hands.
The government is responsible for protecting the boarders, establishing and enforcing our system of law, and providing for the general defense, (please forgive me if I missed anything).
The government regularly takes in more money than it needs to fulfill these goals. The rest should be equally divided across the population. This provides a much better safety net than any of the programs currently available for that very purpose.
Get rid of funding for medicaid, medicare, education, etc… and instead keep the government agencies that oversee these programs in place as sector regulators.
For example. Stop using the us department of education to finance public schools. Instead, divert the money used (inefficiently)by the board of education directly into the pockets of citizens. This way people can choose their own schools.
The same principle can be applied to government health programs, and all other non-essential programs.
Aside from that it would still be business as usual. The steady stream of GDP returning to the pockets of the average citizen means that people aren't trapped in jobs they hate, and businesses aren't held at the mercy of unions because each individual already has their own safety net to fall back on.
This allows people to take more risks and be more creative, which in turn leads to innovation and increased productivity.
And with new industries come new tax revenues, which in turn strengthen the safety net and we have sustainable growth.
Please explain to me where you find cause to object, and by what argument you justify your claim that "To believe that you can simply take profit and GDP and scatter it around is error. It is artificial and has nothing to do with the economic system."
Benny Acosta:
"I can point to the free open software movement and the principles that drive the innovation found there. I can point to its success, and come to the logical conclusion that if the principle applies to code, then it applies to currency because currency occupies a similar place."
Do you know what are you talking about?
1. Most people in open source community don't make living from open source. They collect salaries at main job while doing open source for fun.
2. From people who contribute to open source full time most people paid by IBM, Sun and universities.
3. Most major projects in open source are 'leftovers' from failed companies and their ideas. Starting with linux that has build on unix ideas rather that being reinvented from scratch. Open source was just way around licensing. Even you should understand that real challenge are research and ideas. Implementation (coding) done by code monkeys.
4. Very few companies do business by providing services around open source. This is only possible because huge implicit 'investment' from n.1 n.2. n.3
Open source concept is close to original ideas of utopia communism. The only time it was somewhat successfully implemented in Israel kibbutzes movement. That today fail competition with real farms. Needless to say that kibbutzes fall short from anything but self sustain communities.
Well, here the thing that makes your idea problematic, it's this thing that many theorists and thinkers forget, it's called reality. I don't disagree with your theory, but please explain to me how it's going to be implemented. I mean the nuts and bolts of the system and more importantly how you are going to convince people to go along with what is, no matter how you want to couch it communism.

Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have expanded their brand ... they're now code for powdered and crack cocaine.
New York law enforcement conducted a 10-month investigation into a massive drug ring. Authorities wiretapped a number of phones to bust the traffickers. They figured out from the recordings ... the dealers were using pop code. They referred to crack cocaine as Britney and powdered cocaine as Christina Aguilera (for some reason the dealers used Christina's last name).
The investigation paid off ... New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman charged 25 people with 340 counts of drug trafficking.
Oldies but goodies. I'd hit it. Truth.
Thats White America for yall!
It,s been slang for a while. listen to Young Jeezy "White Girl" from 2010
your editors suck
it's powdered, not powered
Duh tmz this is old news,hertz told u what it was like years ago, u know we keep that white girl Christina Aguilera
Nothing new about this practice. My pharmacy has referred to K-Y Jelly has "Harvey" for years now.
Seems mixed up. Personally, I'd rather sniff Britney and smoke Christina.
That's probably xtina's and britt's drugs of choice.
If I was either one of these bimbos, I'd have a problem with this headline.
We'd all like to snort Britney.
I've thought to myself many, many times.
How nice it would be to HAVE Britney in my ... nose.
...that didn't come out right.
Oh, Xtina's rayban is very beautiful, i have seen that at http://matkinhnamquang.com/danhmuc/4/Kinh-Rayban
I love Xtina
I don't get what the news is here. Apparently cocaine busts on are TMZ now.
Wow! Using celebs names. I know a long time ago the druggies would say where's it at while talking on the phone. They thought they have gotten smarter through the years, and try using celebs names,and never get caught. If they do get caught, their way of thinking by using celebs names, they will get is a smack on the hand. Ordered to go into rehab, and walk out like some of these celebs do, and some community service. With no jail time. LMAO
Um, DUH!!!!!! In the words of the great Kilo Ali, "there's a white girl in town, name is cocaine"!

Over the weekend a Perry house went up in flames and was a total loss.
Perry firefighters responded to 1311 Main Street in Perry.
When they arrived, the home was consumed with heavy black smoke coming from the front entry door. There was also fire building in the carport entrance of the home.
People attending a wedding across the street at the Forest Park event venue had rescued two people trapped inside the home.
The origin and cause of the fire has yet to be determined. No one was injured.

Obsidian Audio was formed by Jacob Fuller and Nick Lemons in 2010.
We are here to provide customers with products that perform above and beyond expectations at an affordable price.
Some Common FAQ regarding Obsidian and it's owners/creators
1) Are the Obsidian amps the same thing as Sundown amps ?
No, they are not. None of the products are the same as any Sundown products -- woofers nor amplifiers. Almost all Sundown amplifiers are custom tooled designs just for Sundown Audio. Almost all Obsidian amps are / will be based on existing board designs.
2) What is the difference between Sundown and Obsidian as a company ?
Sundown Audio is a dealer / distribution based company that is also sold online. Obsidian is a direct to customer online company - the internet is the only focus of Obsidian Audio.
3) Can I be an Obsidian dealer ?
No -- Obsidian is a direct company. Dealers should contact Sundown Audio about selling Sundown Audio equipment since Sundown is a dealer based company. Obsidian may have a few reps and international distribution partners but the business model does not fit with dealers in the USA.
4) So... whats up with the name ?
Honestly... I thought it sounded cool and isn't just a couple of numbers and/or letters (no offense to anyone *)... ran it by Nick and he agreed that it does indeed sound awesome so we went with it.
* - Short number/letter names are hard to search for as well.
5) What made you decide to come up with this company?
Sundown was founded as a dealer based company -- the internet got us started, yes, but we have always been based through dealers since day one. As Sundown continues to expand in this direction it will be increasingly difficult to offer the online community what they want as it is often at odds with what Sundown needs to do as a dealer based company. As I've mentioned a few times since we introduced Obsidian I do not want to forget about the customer base that got Sundown off the ground, the forums, so Obsidian was formed to deal direct to online forum going customers. Nick is naturally involved with the company as we have worked together quite a bit over the years. I was involved with Stereo Integrity well before Sundown was ever dreamed of -- so it is an obvious choice for us to partner up on this project.
6) Does this mean we cannot buy Sundown online at all now ? (pieper88)
No, Sundown will continue to be sold online through authorized dealers as always. You may see less specials, sales, and pre-orders from Sundown in the future, though.
More info to follow.. Stay tuned !!

Patrice Bergeron leaves Game 5 in ambulance
|06.22.13 at 10:31 pm ET
CHICAGO — Patrice Bergeron was taken from the United Center in the middle of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals Saturday night via ambulance and transported to a local hospital, first reported by WCVB's Mike Lynch and later confirmed by the Bruins.
Bergeron appeared to take a hit late in the first period during a 4-on-4 situation on the ice but he did return to play a limited amount in the second period. He came out after just two shifts in the second and did not return. He was not on the Bruins bench to begin the third period.
Carl Soderberg took Bergeron's place on the second line, centering Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr.
The Bruins confirmed the report but did not announce details of the injury.

Rosemary, raisin and almond bread
February 03, 2014
There is this saying that if something sounds too good to be true, most probably it is. Well, listen to this - it takes 5 minutes to make a bread and 30 to bake it. It's so good, that it disappears straight away. I've found the original recipe on My Kitchen Affair blog, I made few changes and here it is.
You will need:
- 100g buckwheat flour
- 150g all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2-3 sticks of rosemary, shredded
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup almonds, cut in small pieces
- 200 ml buttermilk
Heat your oven to 200*C (400*F) with a baking tray inside. Place everything in a bowl and mix so the ingredients combine. The dough will be sticky, it's ok. Place the dough on a floured surface and create a bowl. It's ok that there is a flour on it. Place it on a hot tray covered with a baking paper, cut a deep "x" on a dough and bake for about 30 minutes.
Enjoy, Marta

Delphi is situated quite high in the mountains and so the views of beach sandals and reef women's ginger flip flop were beautiful. It was a nice change after cold, rainy Athens. First, we visited the temple of Apollo, one of the most important Olympian deities in mythology. Apollo is quite the multitasker. Not only is he the Sun God, he is also the god of music, poetry, art, archery, and even medicine and healing. In the museum, Panagiotis showed us a ceramic vase with a depiction of Apollo. He pointed out that some of the features gave Apollo a feminine quality. I would not have noticed this if he hadn't encouraged us to look closer.
This happened several times throughout the museum. He also showed us a statue of a man. To me it looked like any other statue of an ancient Greek: tall, naked, with well-defined muscles and curly hair. I supposed it represented some mythological character that was admired for one reason or another. But, then our guide told us the story behind the statue. Apparently, the man once had a protégé, a young boy, who he was very fond of. He urged the whole town to pay homage to the boy and to treat him like a God, which they did. But one day the boy died, and so the statue portrayed the man in his state of morning. If I had not looked closer, specifically at the statues face – as Panagiotis instructed – I would not have noticed the pain and sadness in the man's eyes. I had never felt emotion from sculpture; it was a new experience.
Also, it made me realize that, on other travels, I never really felt that tour guides were that useful because you can usually find all the information in the museum. But the museum at Delphi would not have been the same without our guide. Panagiotis helped me see that these ancient artifacts are more than just evidence of the past, they really do tell stories of ancient lives.

There are Regional Units in England covering the separate regions across the country.
England Netball has nine Regions, each with a volunteer Regional Management Board and a team of staff including a Regional Manager, Regional Coordinator and Netball Development Officers.
Each Region oversees Netball activity in their area covering competition, talent, educating the workforce, increasing participation and promoting Netball. Each Region has their own website giving details of activities and contacts within the Counties and Region.
Netball East Coach Grant Scheme
Netball East support their affiliated members by providing UKCC course
subsidies and mentoring opportunities to help develop coaches across the
region. Grants can be given towards UKCC level 1, 2 and the level 2
upgrade. Netball East is working with its county associations to provide
a package for coaches which should provide, in most cases, up to 75% of
the cost of a course from the combined sources. Whilst Netball East
will make every effort to produce this, the decision on whether to fund
an application remains with that county.
Netball East UKCC Grant Scheme Application Forms are available to download here. For more information contact email@example.com or 01462 4283360.

San Pedro CA
on orders over $50*
Live Chat or 1.877.364.3865
The main feature I appreciated about this product was how it works on all types of OEM crossbars. I installed this on OEM bars on a Honda CR-V in fifteen minutes with an extra pair of hands. Elliptical crossbars... I was happy with the road noise... unnoticeable. The locks are moody. You have to jiggle the key a bunch to manipulate it, but that is nothing new for these types of racks. I fit two 166-167 boards with bindings. I tried to over-under stack them and found I would have to remove the bindings on the lower board. I was a bit peeved my new Nidecker board got some rubs and scratches from where the clamps squeezed on the board. I would recommend if you are OCD about board damage, put a rag across the top to protect your baby. I like how the red latch draws attention to the locks. I hope it is a deterrent. Perhaps crooks will just break a window to get something instead?

With a size 13 boot you will need to get the widest board out there. Make sure you check the dimensions for the waist. Your toes will probably hang over while carving if your rear binding is set close to zero. The waist measurement is 268mm at its narrowest... so if you are size 13 you may still have overhang problems. Look around for binding lifters... Palmer used to make some a while back. They help people with long feet.
I found the following site helpful setting up my Nidecker Ultralight wide 167. I use a forward stance to make sure my toes and heels don't drag when I carve.
I would go longer. I got a Nidecker 167 Ultralight wide for this season. I am 6-3 235lbs boot size 11. Much more stable on curves than my old Arbor Crossbow 166.
Waaaay too big. I put my 167 into it and still have plenty of room. This bag is so long it just barely fits longwise in my short Tundra pickup. The three storage compartments are awesome. You can stash boots, helmet, bindings separately... then stack up several boards inside. Its a big quiver. If I was you I would go smaller.
I was intimidated by those Flow riders when I first started learning. I realized what I had been missing by not getting this style of binding from the beginning. The time you waste fumbling around after you get off the lift... the awkward steering with a loose rear foot... all gone. You just roll off the lifts and GO. After a few practice runs you start to feel like a skier rolling off the lift... and you get your lift ticket's worth of runs real quick. If you get stuck on some flats and have to walk, you don't seethe with frustration because you have take forever to stop and strap back in. I have last year's model. Would really like to find out how to get the canted footbeds on the old model. Anyone?

I slapped these onto my new Ultralight XL and went up the mountain for some solo time on the mountain. Boy did I feel stupid for buying an all-day pass. I was once one of those boarders who sat on his tush... waddled over to the bench... stumbled and fumbled to strap my bindings on. I meditate on the lift... lead foot strapped in... trailing foot in the binding but loose... I cruise off the lift with my foot in place... turn... squat and lock!!! The poseurs with their Costco setups and backpacks full of beer glare at me in jealousy as I cruise down the mountain... Bye bye! The time you save by using these bindings was enough to make me smile. Knowing I could use them for quick entrances and exits was great... and all of the adjustability was still there. I must have done a whole day's runs in three hours. (Queue divine backlight, toothy grin, and church chorus.)
*Note cable tensioning and highback angle (forward back) are things you should get dialed in at home. These settings are tool sensitive.
Highback angle (left right) does not appear to be adjustable. I didn't even notice a difference.
If you look at the photos and videos on Youtube, you might get the impression there are many joints and moving components in this setup. You might rightfully suspect it had some effect on the support or stiffness of the binding. Using my old Burton Cartel bindings as my only basis for comparison, I believe these offered more stiffness, fewer pressure points, and the toe strap secured perfectly.
Final word: If you enjoy getting the most out of your day, want the flexibility to strap-in old-school while you learn to board... and then have the flexibility to take advantage of the easy in/out feature... you need this binding. It truly bridges the gap between the older technology and the intermediate/advanced rider bindings like offered by Flow.

I purchased these capstraps because the stock ones on my Cartel bindings were always slopping upward over my toes because I insist on riding a narrow board with big feet (Arbor Crossbow 166 with 11.5 K2 Raider Boots and Cartel bindings). These are much more secure. The addition of a heavily padded insole and these capstraps greatly diminished my first day foot pain this season. This feature should be standard, but having the option to upgrade was a definite improvement.

Do we need more scientists?
by Michael S. Teitelbaum, The Public Interest, Fall 2003. "Despite the recent economic downturn, prominent scientific associations, business leaders, and academics continue to predict 'looming shortfalls' in America's science and engineering professions. Countering the prevailing view, Michael S. Teitelbaum reveals that few, if any, shortages exist in these fields and shows why proposed solutions to this illusory problem are profoundly misguided."
What Scientist Shortage?
Daniel S. Greenberg, Washington Post, May 19, 2004. "A scientist shortage? Again? The gloomy warnings are back. They're underpinned by declines in science studies by U.S. students and a post-Sept. 11 falloff in the enrollment of foreigners, who have traditionally filled as many as half the graduate slots in U.S. universities and have taken jobs here after graduation. A crisis is in the making, says a report by a pillar of the scientific establishment, the National Science Board, which warns that the 'trends threaten the economic welfare and security of our country.'"
Into the Eye of the Storm: Assessing the Evidence on Science and Engineering Education, Quality, and Workforce Demand
"Recent policy reports claim the United States is falling behind other nations in science and math education and graduating insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers. Review of the evidence and analysis of actual graduation rates and workforce needs does not find support for these claims. U.S. student performance rankings are comparable to other leading nations and colleges graduate far more scientists and engineers than are hired each year. Instead, the evidence suggests targeted education improvements are needed for the lowest performers and demand-side factors may be insufficient to attract qualified college graduates."
U.S. Is Losing Its Dominance in the Sciences
New York Times, May 3, 2004. "The United States has started to lose its worldwide dominance in critical areas of science and innovation, according to federal and private experts who point to strong evidence like prizes awarded to Americans and the number of papers in major professional journals."
Tech doctorates decline 7 percent
C|NET News.com, January 6, 2003. "The number of science and engineering doctorate degrees awarded in the United States dropped by 7 percent from 1998 to 2001, according to a survey released Monday by the National Science Foundation. However, enrollment in science and engineering graduate programs rose in 1999 and 2000--the latest years for which data is available."
Tech Brain Drain Pains Military
Wired, November 18, 2002. "This should be a golden time for military scientists. The armed forces are flush with cash and bulging with bleeding-edge projects. The war on terror relies on newfangled gadgets. And the civilian economy is in the toilet. But the armed forces are scrambling to cope with a massive exodus of scientific and engineering talent. This departure is particularly brutal for the Air Force. About 20 percent of the service's 13,300 science and engineering positions are currently unfilled. Thousands more of these jobs will be abandoned in the next five years as baby boomers begin to retire."
Compete America - The Alliance for a Competitive Workforce
A lobbying group that seeks to ease restrictions on H1-B visas for foreign nationals with a Masters or PhD. "In a number of key technical fields, the total number of graduates with advanced degrees has not kept pace with demand. In addition, a rising percentage of the advanced degrees awarded by U.S. universities in areas of study like engineering, mathematics and computer sciences are to foreign nationals. Under current immigration law, however, many of these graduates are not available for hire by U.S. firms without H-1B visas. They are, however, available to overseas competitors."
The Quiet Crisis: Falling Short in Producing American Scientific and Technical Talent
BEST, 2002. The Council on Competitiveness argues that the US needs more PhD scientists. (Zipped PDF file)
Concerns Over the Future of NASA's S&T Workforce
AIP, August 12, 2002. "Throughout the Federal government, as well as the private sector, the challenge faced by a lack of scientists and engineers is real and is growing by the day."
The Science and Engineering Workforce: Realizing America's Potential
A 2003 report from the National Science Board urging the federal government "to deal with the coming shortage of US-born science and engineering professionals."
National Science Panel Warns of Far Too Few New Scientists
New York Times, May 5, 2004. "The United States faces a major shortage of scientists because too few Americans are entering technical fields and because international competition is heating up for bright foreigners who once filled the gap, a federal panel warned Tuesday."

Tosoni had an excellent season for the Elizabethton Twins, finishing amongst the league leaders in several offensive categories. Tosoni had the league third most hits (58), eighth most stolen bases (13 in 17 attempts), and tenth best batting average (.301). He also had 13 doubles, 4 triples, 3 home runs and 31 runs batted in in 236 at bats. He also had only two errors playing primarily right field.
This week, Tosoni was 9 for 25 (.360Average) with 2 walks, a double, 2 home runs, 4 runs scored and 3 runs batted in. However, the highlight had to be his walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth inning for the Elizabethton Twins game 1 win over the Danville Braves in the 3 game Appalachian League Championship series they would win the following evening.

There are times when the words "never" and "always" are the only ones that work. In my case, "never" is becoming the word I must use to describe how I feel about certain candidates for high office. For example, I voted four times for a Bush and once for a McCain - something I will never do again.
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
When James French became the last person to be executed in 1966 under Oklahoma's death penalty law, he uttered these famous last words (no joke) that quickly belong to the ages: "Hey fellas," he shouted to reporters there to witness his electrocution. "How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? 'French Fries!'"
