Pet store
A pet store or pet shop is a retail business which sells different kinds of animals to the public. A variety of animal supplies and pet accessories are also sold in pet shops. The products sold include: food, treats, toys, collars, leashes, cat litter, cages and aquariums. Some pet stores provide engraving services for pet tags, which have the owner's contact information in case the pet gets lost.
In the USA and Canada, pet shops often offer both hygienic care (such as pet cleaning) and esthetic services (such as cat and dog grooming). Grooming is the process by which a dog or cats's physical appearance is enhanced and kept according to breed standards for competitive breed showing, for other types of competition, like creative grooming or pet tuning contests, or just to their owners taste. Some pet stores also provide tips on training and behaviour, as well as advice on pet nutrition.
There are many large pet stores located in the US and Canada, including: Petland, Pet Valu, and PetSmart. In the United States, Petco is also a popular pet store. In addition, there are many smaller pet shops that aren't part of big chains, such as Big Al's, which have a smaller number of locations.
Pet stores are extremely popular in today's society. In 2004, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, in the pet industry, live animal sales reached approximately $1.6 billion. Moreover, in a 2003 survey in the US, merely 38% of U.S. pet shops claimed that they did not sell any live animals.[1]
Pet stores commonly sell
- Fish for home aquariums,
- Small birds such as Parakeets and Cockatiels,
- Fancy rats,
- Hamsters,
- Guinea pigs,
- Mice,
- Gerbils,
- Ferrets,
- Rabbits,
- Chinchillas,
- Lizards,
- Geckos,
- Snakes
- Fresh water turtles,
- Frogs,
- Tarantulas,
- Parrots,
Less common in pet stores are larger mammals such as dogs and cats. In the UK and a large number of other European countries, dogs and cats are not sold at pet stores. Exotic pets such as Sugar Gliders, large snakes, hedgehogs, Brazilian short-tailed opossums, and large parrots are available at some pet shops. Because the care of these types of animals is difficult and expensive, these are most often carried only in stores that specialize in exotic animals.
Animals in pet stores are often considered[by whom?] to be commodities, instead of beings that need proper care and attention.
A major concern with pet stores and the reason why puppies and kittens may not be sold in certain stores anymore is largely due to puppy mills. Puppy mills are commercial dog breeding businesses that breed dogs primarily for profit, often with little regard for animal welfare. According to the Puppy Mill Project "more than 2.5 million puppies are born in puppy mills each year" in the United States.[2] Kitten mills are not as widely known as puppy mills, but they still do exist. The animals in these mills are kept in tiny, unsanitary cages, receive little to no nourishment, and often receive no veterinary care. Some cities in Canada, such as Toronto, have altogether banned the sale of cats and dogs in pet stores in order to put an end to this animal abuse.[3]
Due to this practice, many pet shops have stopped selling cats and dogs in an effort to end puppy and kitten mills. Consumers can help put an end to this as well, by boycotting pet stores that continue to sell animals that come from puppy and kitten mills[according to whom?].
In Canada and the US, another area of concern regarding pet stores is the laws that guide pet stores. In the US, there are no federal laws in place that protect animals in retail pet stores. There are state laws to protect animals, however they all vary and some are not sufficient enough. In twenty states plus D.C., a license is required before being able to manage a pet store. The welfare of animals in pet shops also relies heavily on the veterinary care available to them. In the United States, there are only 16 states that enforce veterinary care laws in pet stores.[4] In Ontario, Canada the Provincial Animal Welfare Act states that the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has the authorization to examine places where animals are kept for sale, including pet shops.[5]
In computer science[edit]
In computer science, a "pet store program" is an example of how to use a particular software framework or set of libraries to build a real program. Its concept is similar to the Hello world program. It has been made popular by Sun Microsystems for illustrating Java EE, and many other vendors followed.

Five Music Biopics We'd Like To See
Over the last decade, Hollywood has pumped out an increasing number of music biopics, treating us to everything from enjoyable theatrical hits (8 Mile) to wobbly, tear-jerking cable duds (Take Me Home: The John Denver Story).
With Jeff Buckley, Sam Cooke and Clash movies in the works and rumors of an Ozzy Osbourne movie lighting up the Internet, we present a list of music biopics we prefer they'd make instead.
5. To Hell With the Devil: The Story of Stryper
Stryper, perhaps the world's first and only Christian glam metal band, astonished everyone between 1986 and 1988 by scoring heavy MTV rotation and a pair of platinum records. If fleeting chart success alone does not qualify them for a movie, the band's embrace of humdrum clean living during the last period of great American hedonism certainly does.
Instead of snorting mountains of cocaine, covering themselves in biker tattoos, and setting entire small towns on fire (like any halfway reputable `80s metal band), the Stryper film would depict its heroes vacuuming their tour bus, leading Bible study sessions for their nerd fans, and making anonymous phone calls to MTV to complain about the satanic imagery in Motley Crue videos.
Our slightly fictionalized scenario would come to an end in 1989. Prior to starting a world tour with RATT, the Stryper guys would meet with that band's lead singer, Stephen Pearcy, and attempt to exorcise from him the demons of sexuality and sloth. Pearcy, unfazed, would single-handedly kick all four of their asses and fire them from the tour, banishing them to the Christian rock underground from which they crawled.
4. Some Kind of Monster II: Jason Returns
Eight years after leaving Metallica in disgust, bassist Jason Newsted visits his former band apparently seeking to make amends. Once granted entry to the practice space, Newsted slips on a pair of brass knuckles and gives drummer Lars Ulrich the sustained and merciless beating that he deserves. After pounding Ulrich's hands into bloody stumps that will never grasp a pair of drumsticks again, Newsted paralyzes singer James Hetfield with a Taser and then yanks out his goatee, hair by hair.
Current bassist Robert Trujillo, pulling double duty as bodyguard, tries to subdue Newsted, but Jason promptly strikes him dead with a karate chop to the throat. As ineffectual guitarist Kirk Hammett begs for his life, Newsted drags a razor blade across Hammett's throat and plays air bass solos as his former colleague bleeds out on the floor.
Newsted is charged with four counts of first-degree murder but catches a lucky break when Dave Mustaine ends up as jury foreman, persuading the other jurors to rule the killings justified, since they were the only way to prevent Metallica from releasing a follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic.

Thanks to the certified aestheticians and laser technicians at Natural Beauty Laser, clients don't have to rely on good genes or even a rigorous daily regimen to achieve clear skin. The center's staff uses advanced implements such as the FDA-approved ND:YAG Cutera and Syneron Candela lasers, which permanently removes stubble from notoriously hairy areas, such as the chest and inner cheek. Other treatments combat cellulite via ultrasonic cavitation or minimize the appearance of sun spots and hyperpigmentation with intense pulsed light.
Skinplicity Rx reinvigorates distressed skin cells through a variety of affordable, non-invasive, and surgery-shirking procedures. The Sudatonic body wrap session begins with an application of preparative creams, after which clients are tucked into a specially engineered wrap that is believed to break down fat using infrared heat. Unlike mummifying body wraps, which can restrict movement and send patrons into the afterlife to have their soul weighed against a feather, the Sudatonic blanket is made up of separate sections, allowing for more manageable maneuvers. The entire procedure lasts about 90 minutes, and may be helpful for anyone interested in reducing weight, receding cellulite, or restoring their skin's baby-like splendor.
Dr. Michael P. Schmidt and the staff at Core Institute work to thwart waistline expansion with the five-week lipotropic fat-loss program, which may help jettison unwanted pounds with a medley of in-office and at-home treatments. First, a consultation adjoins patients and staff to discuss concerns, disclose previous medical history, and compete in medical-glossary spelling bees. After Dr. Schmidt collects the data, he sends patients home with a five-week supply of syringes and B6 and B12 shots that work to help the body metabolize more effectively. He'll fortify the fat-loss program by holding weekly follow-up evaluations to monitor the patient's progress. The salubrious injections also work to detoxify bodies to boost energy levels and decrease the necessity for hazmat business suits.

It feels like a lot of NFL players have been arrested during the lockout-plagued 2011 offseason. But as Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com points out, that actually hasn't been the case at all.
Citing the San Diego Union-Tribune's fantastic arrest database, Marvez notes that while 16 players have been involved in legal scrapes during this inactive offseason, 17 ran into legal issues during the same time period in 2010.
So why does it feel as though bored players have acted out this year more than ever before? That's probably just what happens when we have nothing better to talk about. You'd have stories on player arrests in previous springs and summers, but they'd be joined by stories of free-agent signings, trades and minicamp performances.
This offseason, verbose rumors and off-field transgressions are all we have to fill the always attractive pro football news cycle.
And here's the best part of Marvez's report:
To further put these numbers in perspective, only one of every 160 players on NFL rosters at the time of the lockout has had a subsequent arrest or citation. That translates to less than one percent in a league with 2,560 active players.
Such a figure is lower than what the general populace averaged in the most recent set of complete crime data compiled by the FBI. With the exception of 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Mike Vrabel — who is charged with stealing eight bottles of beer from an Indiana casino — the ages of NFL players cited this offseason ranges from 22 to 29. The overall number of US males arrested in that same bracket stood at 3.2 percent for 2009.
This is why I constantly defend NFL players when they're lambasted by casual or less-than-casual sports fans who claim the league is riddled with thugs. Young men get arrested, regardless of what they do for a living. Every year, 2,000-plus NFL players live their lives as healthy, happy, law-abiding citizens.
Judging an entire group based on the acts of an extremely small minority is something simpletons do.

What She Was Reportedly Paid: $100,000
Who She Performed For: These days, you don't even have to be an accomplished singer to earn a huge paycheck for performing at a private party. The American Idol singer—who did not win when she appeared on the show—sang at a birthday party in 2011 for an anonymous couple. She actually tried to turn the gig down when she was initially offered $50K but reconsidered when the couple doubled their offer. Not bad, eh?

The Right to Water: Emergence, Definition, Current Situation, and Stakeholder Positions
March, 2008
The concept of the "Right to Water" has emerged over the past few years, emphasizing a human-centered approach to meeting basic needs among vulnerable populations. The concept's scope gathered momentum in 2002 when the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) adopted General Comment No. 15, which, for the first time, recognized the right to water as a fundamental human right.

MaryJanice Davidson is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author. Her Undead books are extremely popular paranormal romances.
Dying for more? Don't miss the other titles in the Undead series.
©2004 MaryJanice Davidson; (P)2006 Recorded Books
"Davidson's witty dialogue, fast pacing, smart plotting, laugh-out-loud humor, and sexy relationships make this a joy to read. And Betsy's second adventure, following her debut in Undead and Unwed, will have readers begging for more." (Booklist)
Did the other reviewer listen to the same book I did? I absolutely love this series, and have listened to all 5 multiple times.
I love this book because Queen Betsy **is** such a shallow, vacuous "valley girl" type. It's funny & I think the narrator does an excellent job of portraying Betsy in all her vain & shallow glory.
"Vampire greatness"
The whole series is great. The series is a combination of Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Stephanie Plum. Lots of fun.
"Yes, this series is fun!"
I have almost completed the entire series and because I just keep starting the next one, my reviews are getting behind. The banter is funny and Betsy is so self-centered that you can't help but love her. The narrator is excellent and keeps the book alive.
Be sure you read the books in order, or you could get lost on the references.
What a fun and humorous read!
This book was great. I'm going to listen to others by the same author. Granted, it is not informative or a heavy read- something I could listen to on a good run.
"Just as good as the first."
Just as good as the first, I am still loving this series. I am all ready on book three and cannot wait to read more.
"Good, but not great"
I would definitely read another story from both MaryJanice Davidson or Nancy Wu. I love Betsy. I love this story. Somehow, this one didn't leave me as excited as the first. It was a good performance but the problem for me lies in the "already been there" in book one story line. I will listen to more in the series, but won't hold on for much hope as far as a different experience story wise!
Yes, Betsy is a breath of fresh vampire so to speak!
She brings voice to the characters that I think suits them, but she could do better with males! Her reading style is easy to listen to.
Yes, I see this as a movie or tv series and I could've seen Alicia Silverstone doing this, but now it would have to be a younger actor with her acting chops. Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Hayden Panettiere, Anna Sophia Robb, Ellen Page or Dakota Fanning.
Great story, but lacks interesting adventure. I love Betsy's character still stays true to herself throughout the story. I really wish the books were much longer!
"Betsy's still going strong!"
A great sequel to the first book, and a lead into what promises to be a great series. Betsy was again true to her nature as the slightly-ditzy/annoying heroine, but she's lovable, and I didn't really see the plot twist at the end coming.
The story was worth listening to despite the sub-par voice acting. Most of the characters sounded the same, and it was hard to tell when Betsy was actually speaking versus making sarcastic comments to herself. I'm hoping they'll eventually get someone new to read!
"Excellent Humerous Vampire Series"
I just love this series it is so enjoyable. It isn't really a serious book it is more humerous than anything. The main character has a great personality and I just love the characters in the book. The narrator does a fabulous job. I plan on listening to all of them eventually. I wait till they go on sale because they are not very long books I would rather not waste a credit on short books.
I enjoyed the story. I laughed a lot. Betsy is funny. I could do without the cursing. But, overall it is funny.
I prefer urban/para romance right now for the fantasy aspect, but I listen to other genres as well.
"Betsy + Shoes = Funny"
Ms. Davidson is good at making Betsy just ditsy enough to make her funny. Its a good thing that her friends and Sinclair have a lot of patience.
I liked them all. The whole book made me giggle.
I can't imagine the book without Nancy Wu. She is the voice of all of these characters now.
I loved these books. (you notice I used the past tense) There is a point in the future where I dislike where the author went with the story. I actually stopped reading the books and this was in my top 10 favorites. I am only mentioning this because I think it is only fair you know in the begging that this series takes a crazy turn at book either 9 or 10 I can't remember. By reading other reviews, I am not the only one who feels this way. But, the books up to that point are hilarious. So, reader be warned. You may like the direction it takes later, you may not. I feel better that I let you know.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Boy Scouts' homosexuality ban: ACLU touts planned Boulder schools policy change
The Boy Scouts of America have reaffirmed a ban of gays from participation as organization members or leaders. This move prompted the ACLU of Boulder to renew an old complaint over the Boulder Valley School District allowing scout groups to use its facilities at free or discounted rates despite its anti-discrimination policy. But it turns out a BVSD change is in the works.
After yesterday's announcement from the Boy Scouts national HQ, Boulder chapter chairman Judd Golden sent the school district a letter on view below that outlines the ACLU's objections to the facilities-use deal and argues in favor of making a change. A short time later, he received a call from a school district representative "saying, 'We've done something,'" he notes. As Golden understands it, the school district has crafted an administrative regulation that will treat all youth organizations equally, and charge them each a nominal fee, as opposed to giving some of them price breaks.
"That's exactly what our first proposal to the school district was -- to stop their practice of providing subsidized rental rates to a discriminatory organization," Golden adds.
And how long did it take for the school district to reach this conclusion? By Golden's estimate, only twelve years.The Boulder Valley School District's Education Center puts a strong emphasis on equity.
"Back in the year 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court defended the Boy Scouts' right to exclude gays from membership and leadership" in a case known as Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, Golden points out. Afterward, he goes on, "one of our members, who was deeply involved in the Boulder Valley School District, said, 'Look at this. They give the Boy Scouts special discounted rental rates for facility use, and that's not right,' because there were governments around the nation seeking to limit the Boy Scouts access to public facilities. Basically, they were saying, 'We don't tolerate your discrimination, and we won't give you any special rights and privileges like we give to other youth groups.'
"The Boy Scouts responded by going to Congress and getting passed a statute that's popularly known as the Boy Scouts Protection Act. It basically says the Boy Scouts and similar organizations can't be excluded from any school that gets public funds under any circumstances, because you can't deny equal access. So we looked at that, and looked at what the Boy Scouts were doing, and said to the school district, 'You can fix this. You just have to treat all these organizations equally, by not giving any of them special rights and privileges. So if the Boy Scouts or the ACLU or a church group says, 'We want to use the school district facilities off-hours to hold a meeting,' the district just has to look at them blindly and say, 'As long as you don't violate the law, we'll grant you access, and we'll discharge a fee to do that.'"
Sounds simple -- but it wasn't.

[690] "Pediatric-Type" Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors in Adults: Distinctive Histology Predicts Genotype and Clinical Behavior.
Tanya A Rege, Andrew J Wagner, Christopher L Corless, Jason L Hornick. Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA; Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA; Oregon Health and Science University, Portland
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) rarely affect children, mainly girls. Pediatric GISTs typically arise in the stomach and show epithelioid morphology, multinodular architecture, lymph node metastases, an absence of KIT and PDGFRA mutations, and indolent behavior. Occasional GISTs in adults show similar features. Such tumors are not widely recognized.
Design: GISTs in patients >18 yrs with a multinodular growth pattern were retrieved from surgical and consult files. H&E slides were reviewed, immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed, and KIT (exons 9, 11, 13 and 17) and PDGFRA (exons 12, 14 and 18) genes were screened for mutations. Clinical follow-up was obtained.
Results: 16 cases were identified, affecting 13 women and 3 men (mean age, 34 yr; range, 19-56 yr), all gastric. Mean tumor size was 5.4 cm (range, 1.8-11 cm); 4 were multifocal. All showed an infiltrative architecture and epithelioid (3) or mixed (13) morphology. Five tumors had vascular invasion; 6 focal necrosis. Mitoses ranged from 3-156 per 50 HPF (8 tumors had ≤5). Using AFIP risk stratification, categories were: none (2), very low (3), low (3), moderate (3), and high (5). By IHC, all tumors were positive for KIT, 82% DOG1, 72% CD34, 18% caldesmon, 9% S100, 8% SMA, and 0% desmin. All were wild-type for KIT and PDGFRA in the exons screened. At primary resection, 8 patients had lymph node and 3 liver metastases. Follow-up ranged from 16 mo – 16 yr (median, 5 yr). Only 3 of 11 patients treated with imatinib responded. Two tumors recurred locally, and 8 subsequently metastasized, to lymph nodes (5), liver (3), and peritoneum (3). Resected tumors from 3 patients who developed metastases were AFIP low or very low risk for recurrence. All patients are alive at last follow-up.
Conclusions: Gastric GISTs in adults with a multinodular/infiltrative growth pattern and epithelioid or mixed morphology are similar to pediatric GISTs. Unlike conventional adult GISTs, this distinctive subset predominantly affects women, often metastasizes to lymph nodes, and lacks mutations in KIT and PDGFRA. Current risk assessment criteria do not reliably predict behavior for this group. Although metastases are common and most tumors are imatinib-resistant, they pursue an indolent clinical course. Recognition of "pediatric-type" GISTs in adults is critical to guide mutational testing and appropriate therapy and follow-up.

Massive manhunt on for ex-cop accused of killing 3
LOS ANGELES - Thousands of police officers in Southern California and Nevada are hunting for a disgruntled former Los Angeles officer wanted for going on a deadly shooting rampage that he warned in an online posting would target those on the force who wrong him.
Authorities issued a statewide "officer safety warning" and police were sent to protect people named in the posting that was believed to be written by fired officer Christopher Dorner. Among those mentioned were members of LAPD. Urging Dorner to surrender, Police Chief Charlie Beck said Dorner has available multiple weapons including an assault rifle.
The search for Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements, began after he was linked to a weekend killing in Irvine. One of the victims was the daughter of a former police captain who had represented Dorner during the disciplinary hearing. Authorities believe Dorner opened fire early Thursday on police in area cities, killing a Riverside officer and wounding another.
Beck detailed Dorner's alleged crimes in an usual press conference in an underground room at police headquarters, where extra security was deployed.

The technicians at Lexington Auto Spa call on Armor All products and hot-steam extractors to tidy up rides inside and out. Customers can choose from quick automated washes or opt for full-service treatments that include an interior vacuum and window cleaning. With a spectrum of detailing packages, technicians wash, wax, and clay bar exteriors to remove stubborn dirt and overspray before storming interiors with hot-steam extractors ready to eliminate foul odors so that dashboard hula dancers can breathe easy.
To start, spring for a classic: the Midas oil change. Midas will swap out old oil and quench your steed's thirst, matching the correct viscosity grade for your vehicle. Your service also includes a complimentary courtesy check of your engine air filter, brake fluid and brakes, power steering fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and coolant/antifreeze. They'll also check to see if your filter needs to be replaced (standard filter up to a $10 value included), as well as play down obvious indicators that the pumpkin-sticker-covered back-lefty is your favourite. Appointments are required and available on weekdays only.
The car-whisperers of the 50-year-old Midas franchise investigate vehicles' road-readiness with comprehensive inspections backed by the all-encompassing Midas guarantee. A 1.5-hour wintertime assessment probes brakes, suspension, batteries, and heating and cooling systems, thereby ensuring commuters' safety during drives through flurries or while outrunning the ice rays of Mr. Freeze's cold gun. Each seasonal inspection pairs with a complimentary tire rotation to even out rubber wear and ensure that each car-foot gets its 15-minutes in the spotlight of following cars.
AAMCO's deft technicians facilitate peak mileage and performance with 30-minute oil transfusions. During the oil-change service, mechanics confiscate dirty oils and caricatures of tow trucks from the car's pockets, replace them with up to 5 quarts of clean oil, and install a filter. They loosen up grease fittings with healthy doses of lubricant, then perform an inspection to check the vehicle's vitals. During the 36-point inspection, staffers pop the hood to view the battery and charging system, duck beneath the car to scrutinize brakes and drive axles, and take a tour of lights, instruments, and controls to determine whether the car has decided to forsake its charge and power itself via the screams of its passengers.
Select Suzuki / Select Auto Service is a car dealership located in Frankfort, Kentucky. In addition to selling and servicing Suzuki vehicles, Select specializes in sales and and service on all makes and models. The dealership opened in 1997, and is family owned and operated by Larry, Susan, Dan, and Rachelle Bevington.
Since 1962, the motor mavens at Big O Tires have been treating tin lizzies to a slew of services, including their specialty 30-minute express oil changes. The tireless techs speedily slurp out old oil with anteater-esque precision, replacing worn out filters, and rewarding loyal dip sticks with up to 5 quarts of new crude. Following a chassis lubrication, wheel wranglers remove each tire, before moving them and their entire DVD collection to a new home in an adjacent wheel well, helping to guarantee even wear and tear. After a thorough fluid check and preventative maintenance analysis, revamped rides are happily reunited with the owners to depart together into the sunset. Upgrades are available for diesel oil (price based on vehicle and location), high-mileage oil ($10–$15 extra), and synthetic oil ($20–$30 extra).

PHOENIX — Convicted murderer David Detrich is going to get yet another chance to escape being put to death.
In an exhaustive ruling Tuesday, the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals directed a lower court to review Detrich's claims that his counsel did not do a proper job in the sentencing phase of the trial. The majority concluded he never got a chance to adequately raise those issues on earlier post-conviction appeals.
Tuesday's ruling does not automatically mean Detrich will get another chance to present evidence to a jury, which makes decisions about life or death in Arizona criminal cases. His new attorneys still have to make their case to the lower federal court.
But Attorney General Tom Horne said he disagrees with even giving Detrich another federal court hearing on the issue. Horne said he may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to court records, Detrich and co-worker Alan Charlton were driving from Benson to Tucson on Nov. 4, 1989. The pair picked up Elizabeth Souter, hoping she might help them find cocaine. The three bought some drugs and she was driven home.
Detrich became angry at Souter when he discovered he had bought "bad drugs." Charlton said the trio left the house, with Detrich holding Souter at knifepoint.
Her body was found in the desert several days later with 40 stab wounds, including her throat being slit.
Detrich was convicted, twice — his first trial was overturned because the judge gave the jury the wrong instructions — at least partly on the testimony of Charlton who had entered a plea deal with prosecutors. Detrich was sentenced to death; Charlton was sentenced to 10 1/2 years in prison and was paroled in 1997.
Judge William Fletcher, writing Tuesday's majority ruling, noted that only nine of the jurors concluded the murder was premeditated. The other three instead said Detrich was guilty of felony murder, meaning he was part of a death that occurred during commission of another crime.
Either one makes someone eligible for the death penalty, but Fletcher said the result means only nine believe that Detrich, rather than Charlton, had done the actual killing.
More to the point in this case, the majority said there was evidence that Detrich's trial attorney had not presented all the possible mitigating evidence which, coupled with the possibility that he did not wield the knife that killed Souter, could have caused the jury to conclude he should not be put to death.
Tuesday's ruling was not unanimous. Judge Susan Graber, writing for herself and four other judges, said it was unnecessary to send the case back to a lower court.
Specifically, Graber said the majority ruling "glosses over, dismisses, or ignores substantial evidence"' that there was sufficient evidence for a jury and the sentencing court to conclude not only that Detrich was guilty of killing Souter but that he was subject to the death penalty.
That's also Horne's assessment. He said there is "no reasonable probability" Detrich would have avoided the death penalty even if his trial attorney had done a more thorough job of presenting mitigating evidence.

Geelong silversmiths – now and then
14 March 2010 to 21 March 2010
As part of the cultural program of the L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival, Geelong jewellers A skulk of foxes (Natalie and Andrew Cirillo) and Lorraine Archibald were invited to display recent works that showcase the materials and techniques of their contemporary practices.
These select jewellery exhibits by Lorraine Archibald and A skulk of foxes are displayed in conjunction with historical items of jewellery from the Gallery's permanent collection, most notably by Austrian-born silversmith Edward Fischer (1828-1911) who arrived in Victoria in 1853, and by 1857 had established one of the earliest silversmithing businesses in Geelong.
The Gallery holds major examples of Fischer's work including jewellery, functional and commemorative pieces, as well as design drawings and archival material.

Another trend that some companies are seeing is an increased demand for organic herbs. Some retail chains demand 100% organic fresh herbs, said Walsh, whose company has been certified for organics since 1994. To meet this demand, the company plans to increase its organic herbs by 25%.
"Our organic product is growing each year, and we plan a significant increase for next season," he said.
The company has moved all of its organic and vegetable produce inside net and greenhouses. This has allowed the company to free up a lot of organic-certified land to increase organic herb production.
Infinite Herbs is producing a line of herbs in both conventional and organic. As prices go up, however, people are hesitant to move to organic due to the higher costs, Penalosa said.
"Organic in some market segments is demanded by consumers, but in other segments, it's the produce buyer who wants it not to lag behind other stores. It's not that his consumers demand it or really see a need for it."
Price point
Prices for both organic herbs and other herbs have increased, Penalosa said.
"Typically, the prices have increased (up) to 15%, depending upon the product and the origin," Penalosa said. "The farther they are from the U.S., the more the prices have gone up, due to freight (costs)."
However, Walsh said herb prices have stayed flat over the last few years.
"There are always some growers who can grow acres of herbs, pack them under a palm tree, and people will buy them," he said. "It's hard to compare those to growers like us, who are food-safety certified."

Months after the cat first got out of the bag, Activision today confirmed Aerosmith will be the first band to get a Guitar Hero game all to themselves. Titled, unsurprisingly, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, the game is the first of the upcoming editions in the rhythm series promised during Activision's investor call last week to become reality.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will follow the career of the band, from its first gig to playing packed out stadiums at the height of its fame and will feature a bounty of classic Aerosmith tracks, along with tracks from bands and artists that have performed with Aerosmith or were an inspiration to the band.
Real-life Aerosmith guitar legend Joe Perry commented, "It's great for rock since the record companies are struggling to make sense of how things are changing. Fans want to get and experience music in new formats--and there are going to be some of them who will play the game, then pick up the guitar for real and start bands."
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock owners will be able to download the Aerosmith track "Dream On" for the game for free to celebrate the upcoming game's release. It will be available for free on both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network between February 16 and 18.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is coming to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation 2. Neversoft is developing the PS3 and 360 versions, Vicarious Visions the Wii version, and Budcat the PS2 version. The game is expected to launch this June.

Good morning Adam. Strange sight today.. gold, silver, oil going down but stocks and euro on a rampage.
Good morning, Adam. At what point would declare a "double top" on the USD/JPY daily chart – if the pair pushes through USD/JPY 81.678?
Good morning Adam, NZD and AUD go high, despite of gold low?
Thanks, Adam. BTW, Bill Gross just released his monthly memo. Since he opines that oil and commodities one of the very few ways to go in the future, you may wish to read the whole thing: http://www.pimco.com/EN/Insights/Pages/Strawberry-Fields-Forever.aspx
Some chatter on CME affecting gold price… any idea whats going on? unable to get much details
Thanks. Heard there are ACBs gold bids at 1625 with Korean CB the notable one… you think we might get there? looks way far of from present price

I was just out back pulling a few of the thousands of weeds when I noticed this on my grafted bangkok Lemon. Just a couple male flowers but hopefully that means I will at least have a shot at a fruit next season. The trunk is probably about as thick as a beer bottle. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cool. Is it in ground or in a container? |
It's in the ground. I figured to get it to fruit in a pot I would probably need a pot that was too big to move so I just planted it. If this one fruits next season I may chop down my Gold nugget. It's about the same size as the bangkok lemon, but it is taking up way too much room in the GH and I think one Jackfruit is probably plenty with my very limited space. The Bangkok lemon is supposed to taste better than the Gold nugget right? |
I hope not!!!!!!!! LOL! |
- Posted by hmhausman FL 10B (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 6, 11 at 15:15
Well, Sheehan says that the Bangkok Lemon is the best tasting jak ever.....so, you'll be fine, Jay, with your Gold Nugget. Harry |
It is a bit concerning that Sheehan likes it. I guess you have not tried it Harry? Hopefully both will fruit next season for me so it will make the decision easier. |
- Posted by red_sea_me (My Page) on Fri, Jun 10, 11 at 2:26
Nice, have you been giving it ferts? I have a cochen that bloomed last year but so far, nothing this, probably too young. Unfortunately my grafted Bangkok lemon died this past winter and attempts to regraft have failed so far. -Ethan |
That makes me feel much better Harry. Thanks! John...I'd be worried! |
I haven't done anything to the tree. No water, fertilizer, or any special care. About the only thing I do to it is lop off the top few feet every winter so it will fit under the greenhouse. |

Bryan Singer's 'Jack The Giant Killer' Lands Its Princess: Eleanor Tomlinson
Posted on Tuesday, March 1st, 2011 by Germain Lussier
If you're going to make a movie about a young man fighting giants, he's got to have a pretty good reason to do so. Enter Eleanor Tomlinson. She's just been cast as Isabella, the princess that Nicholas Hoult's Jack will fight for in Bryan Singer's upcoming big budget, 3D re-imagining of Jack and the Beanstalk called Jack the Giant Killer. This will be Tomlinson's biggest role to date, though in the past she's played small parts in The Illusionist and Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Read more after the break. Read More »

On Friday August 31, 1969 Bob Dylan made his first paid appearance since his near fatal motorcycle accident near his home in Woodstock, NY just three years prior in July of 1966. During his performance Dylan played an hour set that was backed by The Band at Britain's Isle of Wight Festival. 2012 also lends itself to being a year of exciting times for Dylan as well with the very fast approaching release of his upcoming album. Tempest, Dylan's latest record and what will be his thirty-fifth studio release is set to drop on September 12, 2012. Reportedly sporting a hefty fourteen minute title track paying homage to the RMS Titanic as well as "Roll on John", a tribute to John Lennon and his work this album is certainly something to look forward to. More exciting news comes with the announcement of a Fall 2012 tour alongside the likes of Mark Knopfler. Dylan will be stopping in Holyoke MA at Mountain Park on September 7th as well as playing the TD Garden in Boston on November 18th.
Also back in August of 1963, The Ronnettes were experiencing some good vibrations as well. The group's single "Be My Baby", written by Phil Spector, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, was released and debuted on the singles chart reaching number two on the U.S. Billboard Pop Singles Chart and number four on the UK's Record Retailer as well as on the R&B chart. The song was listed as number twenty two on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and in 1999 the track was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2006, the Library of Congress honored The Ronnettes version by adding it to the United States National Recording Registry.
Today also celebrates the birthday of Van Morrison. His upcoming thirty-fourth studio album, Born to Sing: No Plan B, will be released on October 2, 2012. He turns 67 today.
