Title: | Unintentional Homicides Caused by Risk-Creating Conduct: Problems in Distinguishing Between Depraved Mind Murder, Second Degree Murder, Involuntary Manslaughter, and Noncriminal Homicide in New Mexico |
Author: | Romero, Leo |
Abstract: | This article examines unintentional homicides in New Mexico resulting from risk-creating conduct. It considers the statutory scheme for criminal homicides and examines how unintentional killings are defined, classified, and punished. In particular, it evaluates the distinctions used to assign an unintentional killing involving recklessness or negligence to the crimes of first degree murder, second degree murder, or involuntary manslaughter. This article also analyzes the distinction between criminal and civil liability for unintended deaths." In addition, the article questions the need for two degrees of depraved mind murder and especially the need for grading depraved mind murder as first degree murder. The article concludes with proposed legislative revisions and jury instructions that will remedy the problems in the current law. |

T-Mobile will no longer subsidize handsets in 2013 |
topic by Adamsville - 12-06-2012, 09:15 PM
[picture /join BX to view] We're hearing a ton of interesting information about T-Mobile's plans for the future today as part of Deutsche Telekom's analyst conference, and this may be the biggest yet. Starting in 2013, T-Mobile USA will no longer be subsidizing handsets with 2-year contracts, and will instead sell devices at full price or on installments. This means that devices and service will be completely separate going forward. This is almost a carbon copy of its current "Value Plan" offerings, which give you cheaper monthly service prices (generally $20-$30 less) when you buy a phone full-priced or bring your own -- a model international users will be familiar with. T-Mobile said that 80-percent of its new line activations were on Value Plans in the last quarter, which means that this won't be too big of a shift from the way they're currently operating. To the end user, the overall cost of smartphone ownership for the 2-year contract period will decrease, even when buying a device with monthly installments. Real savings can be had when holding onto a device for a longer period of time as well. The real roadblock here is going to be one of consumer education on the part of T-Mobile, which needs to explain to customers the benefits of this model. U.S. wireless customers are very comfortable with the idea of a subsidized handset that is bundled together with service. T-Mobile going hard in 2013: $4.7 billion in spending cash, new 4G markets, LTE, and no more discounted devices |

I was telling wifey the same thing. By the time you pay your 20 installments a new, better phone will be available so you never see those savings you WOULD GET with the lower plan. This is just their way of recouping more of their device cost. | ||

if you have a decent phone there is really no need to change phones every two years now. Only if you just have to have the latest toys but phones are not that leaps and above others to warrant signing a new contract. I had a droid Razr Maxx and now I have the Iphone 5.
Honestly if I had too could have stayed with the Razr Maxx | |

I work for t-mobile, honestly you do save on value vs classic plans, its just the thought of paying full price weird ppl out. Cats be like by the time i pay off the phone another phone will drop. This is tru but on a classic 2 yr plan it would be the same thing you have to wait for your upgrade. In feb they will start a way to double up on payments to pay your phone off early also.
Example Galaxy Note 2 on Value $699.99 + 69.99 (unl talk, text , web) service x 24 months = $2379.75 Example Galaxy Note 2 Classic $419.99 + 89.99(unl talk, text , web) service x 24 months = $2579.75 Savings of $200 over the two years, so cats save money they just dont understand how Last edited by Jae_Mike; 12-08-2012 at 09:43 PM.. | |

12-08-2012, 09:30 PM | away - #14 |
How much would the down payment be on a NoteII, Jae_Mike? and would you be able to adjust the monthly payments so you can own the phone sooner than 2 years?

What most people don't realize is that even if you stay on the old (classic plans) pricing and still discount for the phone, you're still paying 20 dollars more through out your two year contract and still have to wait 22 months for an UPGRADE vs the new Value plan.
Value plans are automatically 20 dollars cheaper than the Classic plans. So when you do a down payment to get the phone (which is cheaper than the upgrade pricing of the Classic plans plus no upgrade fee) the most you would pay is 20 dollars for 20 months (installments) out of 24. The savings are the 4 months you don't pay the additional 20 dollars. Most of you n*ggas that are use to discounting prices on phones don't realize that you're still basically paying full price of your phone anyways on the bill for 2years. | |

for example, when i worked at t-mobile, i would tell customers what do you prefer, to pay 60 a month for the plan and 20 for the phone, or 90 a month for the plan and no monthly payments for the phone? guess what they would go with? | ||
12-09-2012, 07:20 AM | away - #20 | |
So not only do you pay less across two years, but I can leave T-Mobile at any time I want. There are benefits to paying in full. In fact the only reason not to do it is that you are too broke to afford the upfront cost. Even if you switch phones every two years, you would still come out on top by paying in full.

Many patients experience phantom pain at some time. The phantom aspect is not the pain, which is real, but the location of the pain—a limb that has been amputated. Phantom pain is more likely if the pain before amputation was severe or lasted a long time. Phantom pain is often more severe soon after the amputation, then decreases over time. For many patients, phantom pain is more common when the prosthesis is not being worn (because the limb and interface have no contact), for example, at night. The risk of having this pain is reduced if a spinal anesthetic and a general anesthetic are used during surgery. Some patients experience phantom sensation, which is not painful but feels as though the amputated limb is still there.
The stump may be painful. If it is, patients should first check for signs of infection and skin breakdown, and if these signs are present, they should consult their physician.
If there is no infection or skin breakdown, massaging the stump sometimes relieves the pain. If massaging is ineffective, analgesics can be used. Typically, NSAIDs or acetaminophen Some Brand Names TYLENOL Click for Drug Monograph is used, but sometimes opioid analgesics are required. If these measures do not relieve the pain or patients require prolonged opioid therapy, consultation with a pain management specialist may be required to supervise treatment, which may include using mechanical devices (eg, a vibrator), ultrasound, and drugs such as antidepressants (eg, nortriptyline Some Brand Names AVENTYL Click for Drug Monograph , desipramine Some Brand Names NORPRAMIN Click for Drug Monograph ) and anticonvulsants (eg, gabapentin Some Brand Names NEURONTIN Click for Drug Monograph ).
Sometimes pain is felt in other limbs or in the hips, spine, shoulders, or neck. This pain may occur because wearing a prosthesis makes patients change their gait or body alignment or causes them to repeat movements. Regularly doing specific stretching and strengthening exercises may help prevent or relieve this type of pain. A physical therapist can help design an appropriate exercise program.

The switch to a pod orientation in jails and prisons is not just aesthetic. Increasingly, correctional facilities are moving away from the remote supervision of inmates from separated control rooms or guard towers. This remote-supervision model was inspired, in part, by English theorist Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon (Greek for "all-seeing"). On Bentham's design, guards could observe inmates from a tower or cell without direct interaction. A modified panoptic design was used at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, which opened in 1997.
Today, however, a direct-supervision model, which places the officer in housing cells with the detainees, is becoming more popular. Direct-supervision facilities look to create a normative environment, in which the surroundings uphold healthy social norms. The model springs from a belief that the design impacts the inmate's frame of mind and that, by offering as "normal" an interior as possible, you can mitigate violence and aid rehabilitation.

Union County Juvenile Detention Center, Elizabeth, N.J.: Ricci Greene Associates' 70,000-square-foot juvenile facility, which houses 80 boys and girls, wraps around nearly an acre of outdoor recreation space and brings in ample natural light.
At the center of the detention center's recreation yard is the gymnasium, its Kalwall panels acting as a lantern.
The metal skin on the side of the gym is the same as that used on the outside of the corridor it faces -- just rotated 90 degrees.
The glazed corridor wall allows sunlight to hit the floor inside, and the perforated-metal cornice serves not only as a modest sunshade, but also as a deterrent to climbers.
An open reception desk of glazed concrete masonry units, with an abstract backdrop of MDF panels, welcomes relatives and friends of inmates.
Two boys' units flank a small outdoor recreation yard (6). This arrangement brings sunlight into the dayrooms and also allows for casual surveillance between them.
Gone are the harsh steel chairs bolted to the floor. Gone are the dark rooms encased with bars. In their place are dayrooms designed to harness natural light and common areas outfitted with movable furnishings, carpeted flooring, and advanced double-glazed security glass without bars. Natural materials like wood are used when possible, and great care is given to acoustic levels. "When you reduce the decibel level, people's adrenaline level goes down, including the staff," Ricci says.
Guards sit in the center of the unit and circulate through the space, which allows them to better interact with the population and help subdue conflict. When inmates act out, their privileges are revoked and they are removed to a more secure section of the building.
"Direct supervision is probably the greatest leap forward we've had in a long time," says Jenny Hutchinson, the jails division chief at the National Institute of Corrections, an organization that frequently partners with architects on research, advocacy, and training. "It combines an architectural design with a philosophy of managing inmates. When it's done correctly, it can eliminate problems that we have considered inherent in jails, like violence and vandalism."
She adds: "In a traditional jail, we inadvertently created a lot of bad behavior. We expected the worst of those inmates and we conveyed that by the way we interacted with them through the fixtures, the furnishings, and the design of the physical plant."
Cupples, of DMJM H&N, thinks the direct-supervision facilities he designs have a positive impact. "I've always had this belief that what we do as architects is an art and a science, but also a social science, and that what we do can influence behavior." In the case of his firm's award-winning, $29 million expansion of Pima County Justice Facility, a jail in Tucson, Ariz., the client wanted a safe, normative environment to reduce violence and support inmate release back into the community. The architects began by breaking down a large, 64-bed dormitory into eight, eight-person mini-dorms. This allows the inmates some level of privacy and greatly reduces noise within their housing areas. Inmates have access to dayrooms and outdoor recreation. Pima also added high-tech components, such as video visitation (another burgeoning trend in justice design), which allows families to visit during extended hours since staff do not have to physically move them to a visitation room.
Normative, direct-supervision designs are also being applied to juvenile detention centers. Ricci Greene Associates specializes in direct-supervision designs. The firm recently completed the Union County Juvenile Detention Center in New Jersey, a 70,000-square-foot building surrounding nearly an acre of outdoor space. Each housing unit centers around a dayroom with lots of glass and views to the outdoors, and every unit has its own recreation area. There is a full-scale gym as well as classrooms and resource centers.
So far, anecdotal evidence shows that direct supervision does better the environment for both inmates and staff. Before joining the National Institute of Corrections, Jenny Hutchinson spent seven years in the jail system as a correctional officer. She witnessed the transformation from remote to direct supervision firsthand. "I felt much safer," she says. "I felt much more productive. I enjoyed working with inmates and felt as if I could use higher-level skills." This is backed up by statistics being collected at the Pima facility. Arizona corrections chief Martha Cramer was so impressed that she wrote an article for Corrections Forum magazine extolling the jail's design and how it has reduced violent behavior and greatly improved the conditions for staff.
The cost to build direct supervision is not necessarily more than remote supervision, according to the NIC. Either way, it's a lot: According to the Pew Charitable Trust, states spend more than $40 billion a year on corrections.

US defence chief visits Afghanistan as explosions in Kabul, eastern province kill 19
KABUL - Militants staged two suicide attacks that killed at least 19 people on Saturday, the first full day of U.S. Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel's visit to Afghanistan. They were a fresh reminder of the challenges posed by insurgents to the U.S.-led NATO force as it hands over the country's security to the Afghans.
"This attack was a message to him," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said of Hagel, in an email to reporters about one of the bombings, outside the country's Defence Ministry in Kabul. He did not comment on the other attack.
Hagel was nowhere near the Kabul blast, but heard it across the city. He told reporters travelling with him that he wasn't sure what it was when he heard the explosion.
"We're in a war zone. I've been in war, so shouldn't be surprised when a bomb goes off or there's an explosion," said Hagel, a Vietnam War veteran. Asked what his message to the Taliban would be, he said that the U.S. was going to continue to work with its allies to insure that the Afghan people have the ability to develop their own country and democracy.
In the first attack, a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defence Ministry early Saturday morning, just as employees were arriving for work. About a half hour later, another suicide bomber hit a joint NATO and Afghan patrol near a police checkpoint in Khost city, the capital of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan, said provincial spokesman Baryalai Wakman.
Nine Afghan civilians were killed in the bombing at the ministry and 14 wounded, and two Afghan policemen and eight children died in the blast in Khost while another two Afghan civilians were wounded, according to a statement from President Hamid Karzai's office.
Karzai condemned the bombings, calling them un-Islamic. "The perpetrators of such attacks are cowards who are killing innocent children at the orders of foreigners," he said in a statement emailed to reporters. Karzai usually uses the term "foreigners" to refer to Pakistan, which he blames for failing to crack down on Taliban militants who take sanctuary there.
Hagel's first visit to Kabul as Pentagon chief comes as the U.S. and Afghanistan grapple with a number of disputes, from the aborted handover of a main detention facility — cancelled at the last moment late Friday as a deal for the transfer broke down — to Afghan President Hamid Karzai's demand that U.S. special operations forces withdraw from Wardak province just outside Kabul over allegations of abuse.
Karzai released a statement late Saturday saying the transfer of the prison to Afghan control would go ahead in the coming week. It was unclear what derailed Saturday's ceremony. U.S. officials declined to comment on the statement, which was released after he met with top military commander in Afghanistan Gen. Joseph Dunford this evening in Kabul
The prison transfer, originally slated for 2009, has been repeatedly delayed because of disputes between the U.S. and Afghan governments about whether all detainees should have the right to a trial and who will have the ultimate authority over the release of prisoners the U.S. considers a threat.
The Afghan government has maintained that it needs full control over which prisoners are released as a matter of national sovereignty. The issue has threatened to undermine ongoing negotiations for a bilateral security agreement that would govern the presence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after the current combat mission ends in 2014.
Regarding Wardak, Karzai set a deadline for Monday for the pullout of the U.S. commandos, over allegations that joint U.S. and Afghan patrols engaged in a pattern of torture, kidnappings and summary executions.
"Each of those accusations has been answered and we're not involved," said Brigadier Adam Findlay, NATO's deputy chief of staff of operations, in an interview with The Associated Press Saturday. "There are obviously atrocities occurring there, but it's not linked to us, and the kind of atrocities we are seeing, fingers cut off, other mutilations to bodies, is just not the way we work."
Findlay said NATO officials have made provisional plans to withdraw special operations forces, if Karzai sticks to his edict after meetings this weekend with Hagel and top military commander in Afghanistan Gen. Joseph Dunford.
"What we've got to try to do is go to a middle ground that meets the president's frustration," but also keeps insurgents from using Wardak as a staging ground to launch attacks on the capital, Findlay said. "That plan would be that you would put in your more conventional forces into Wardak," to replace the special operators and maintain security, he said.
NATO officials see the weekend violence as part of the Taliban's coming campaign for the spring fighting season. "There's a series of attacks that have started as the snow is thawing. We had a potential insider attack yesterday ... and there's been a number of attacks on the border," Findlay explained.
The suspected insider attack occurred in Kapisa province in eastern Afghanistan several hours before Hagel arrived Friday. Three men presumed to be Afghan soldiers forced their way onto a U.S. base and opened fire, killing one U.S. civilian contractor and wounding four U.S. soldiers, according to a senior U.S. military official.
The official said investigators were "95 per cent certain it was an insider attack," because the three men came from the Afghan side of the joint U.S.-Afghan base, and rammed an Afghan army Humvee through a checkpoint dividing the base, before jumping out and opening fire on the Americans with automatic weapons. All three attackers were killed.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The Taliban said it was not behind the Tagab base attack, and has not yet weighed in on the attack in Khost, but the group claimed responsibility for the morning attack at the ministry shortly after it happened.

As if I didn't like the Phillies enough to start, my idiotic choice to dump one of their closers cost Hoagy Time a much-needed victory this week. Brad Lidge went on the DL, and I figured Ryan Madson would be an adequate stopgap solution. Minus-21 points later, I'm a loser again.
Do we really care what happens in the American League outside of individual players' impact on our fantasy baseball teams? Probably not. But in the name of being thorough, the following is CityBeat's prediction of the entire softball-style AL. We even looked up a couple guys who play for the Royals, just to be fair.
Since writing about Jeff Keppinger and the Reds is growing tiresome with so little new happening these days in Reds-fan land, I'm going to take a moment to lament another franchise that's seen a decade pass since its championship-caliber days.
The New York Knicks lost to Philly the other night, preventing New York from achieving its first four-game winning streak in more than three years.
Jay Bruce hit .234 with two home runs in his first 77 at-bats through April 25. At the time I asked, "Will the Real Jay Bruce Please Stand Up?" Six weeks later the Reds' right fielder is hitting .292 with an NL-leading 17 home runs and 46 RBI.
I guess he answered my question. Or has he?
Today is one of those days where it's hard to imagine any activity being more appropriate than baseball. Hopefully, Reds fans flock to the stadium tonight, and the rest of this homestand.
Now that the Rays have signed Pat Burrell maybe my pipe dream of Rocco Baldelli launching home runs off the Batter's Eye Pavilion in center field becomes a bit less improbable.
The Penn State student-run newspaper, Onward State, over the weekend wrongly reported that former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno had died, leading CBS News and the Huffington Post to publish his obituary. Paterno, who died early Sunday morning, was still alive when Onward State "broke" the story. The managing editor of the student paper has since resigned while CBS and HuffPost have not yet taken laid the blame of the wrongly reported story.
This is not the
first time such a big media outlet has made an error — remember NPR
falsely reporting the death of Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords? Those who have put their faith
in new media as a means of obtaining the news should be crying out
for precautionary steps to be taken to avoid such a faux pas. Like
fact-checking, for one.
Or they can simply rely on The Onion to report things the way they are: "Joe Paterno Dies In Hospital; Doctors Promise To Tell Their Superiors First Thing Tomorrow."
Just another reminder about tomorrow night's Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee public hearing regarding bike and pedestrian access across the soon-to-be-way-different I-75 corridor.
Cincinnati is generally regarded as a crappy place to ride bikes (see my recent CityBeat cover story "No One Rides for Free"), save for our lovely park trails and a couple of East Side commuter routes. An impressive downtown bike facility is planned for The Banks, but consideration for bike commuters along the I-75 corridor will be important for people to even get to it on two-wheelers.
Mayor Mark Mallory says there is no room for debate over whether or not Cincinnatians should keep supporting the Bengals. He's going to hang out before Sunday's game against Pittsburgh and grill food and act like he's one of us. The concept got Mr. Mayor laughed at by reporters at his weekly news conference yesterday. And what's worse, it wasn't even sports reporters who were laughing at him — it was the regular city dork reporters!
It's pretty bad when a team is 0-6 and its fans are again selling their tickets for below market value like it's 2001 and Akili Smith is the starting quarterback. The Bengals' brief brush with respectability is long gone now, as evidenced by the very small amount of football knowledge one must have in order to make the following positive assumption: The Bengals fucking suck.
It's really quite hilarious how badly the organization has messed up an opportunity to draft quality linemen around their talented skill players who led the team to its only playoff appearance in the last 15 years. But this is a discussion (or a joke) for another day. Why should we even bother?
That's why it's nice for Mayor Mallory to step in and give us something else to laugh about. On Sunday Paul Brown Stadium will be at lest half-filled with Pittsburgh fans, and it's because their organization, team and city is better than ours. Mallory showing up to tailgate is just another embarrassing footnote in the story of Cincinnati sports history.
I'm sorry to do it, but I must quote a good friend whose self-hate reached an all-time high after the Bengals missed numerous kicks that would have sent them to the playoffs during the final week of 2006: "We're all just a bunch of fucking losers."
Good work Mallory. Now you're included.

Regretting that last hit? We've all been there—and as far as I'm aware, there's nothing you can do but kick back and wait till you've come back down to Earth. If you're looking for a little something to smooth your descent, however, a listen to Bilal's latest mixtape single through quality headphones should be just what the doctor ordered. Perennially-blunted crate-digger MADLIB mans the mixing boards on Too High, serving up a mellow, slightly discombobulated jazz backdrop for verses seemingly centered around the neo-soul mainstay and recent eOne signee's abortive romance with a superficial, success-seeking shorty. I say "seemingly," because I don't think the jam was meant to be understood straight, but the lack of THC in my system doesn't stop it from being a damn fine listen. For Too High and much more, check out Bilal's latest street album, The Retrospective, when it drops December 5, via the artist's Facebook.

London 2012: Lady Godiva puppet starts Olympic journey
A 6m-high puppet of Lady Godiva has started its journey from Coventry to London to celebrate the Olympics.
The puppet, powered by a team of 100 cyclists, went to Ryton, Warwickshire, on Sunday night and travelled to Rugby on Monday.
Hundreds turned out to see Godiva "awake" in Coventry on Sunday.
Unlike the original Godiva - who rode naked - the puppet is dressed in an embroidered coat created by a team of artists from across the West Midlands.
According to legend, Godiva rode naked on horseback through Coventry in protest against high taxes.
Olympics coverage online
- From the BBC:

- Sport: Reports, reaction, news
- Weather: UK five-day forecast
- Official Olympic travel links:
- Traffic and travel in London
- Travel info for other Games locations
- Traffic updates via Twitter @GAOTG
Members of the public in Coventry described the puppet as "really beautiful", "lovely" and "absolutely wonderful".
One of the cyclists, Jonathan Mayes, said he was expecting to ride "20 to 30 miles a day... so it goes quite slowly".
Justin Tipple, from Shaw Sheet Metals and who helped create the cycle structure which moves the giant puppet, said he had already had to make repairs.
He said: "They had a couple of problems with a couple of bikes."
Godiva's journey to London, part of the London 2012 Festival, represents the arts from the region at the Games.
Another 11 arts projects are representing Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England's other regions.
The puppet, transported using a bike called the Cyclopedia, will go to Northampton, Milton Keynes, Luton, Hatfield and Waltham Abbey before arriving at Waltham Forest on 5 August.
Former Olympian David Moorcroft, who chairs West Midlands for 2012, said Godiva was "synonymous with Coventry, my home city".
He described the Godiva event as another "in the Olympic programme in Coventry, Warwickshire and the West Midlands that makes us feel proud".
Kathi Leahy of Imagineer Productions, which has been involved in the Godiva Awakes project, said she felt "just so much pride... in Godiva and our city at this moment".

SEESM: Scalable Extensible Earth System Model for Climate Change Science
This SciDAC project will transform an existing, state-of-the-science, third-generation global climate model, the Community Climate System Model (CCSM3), into a first-generation Earth system model that fully simulates the relationships between the physical, chemical, and bio-geochemical processes in the climate system. The model will incorporate new processes necessary to predict future climates based on the specification of greenhouse gas emissions rather than specification of atmospheric concentrations, as is done in present models, which make assumptions about the carbon cycle that are likely not valid.
This project will include comprehensive treatments of the processes governing well-mixed greenhouse gases, natural and anthropogenic aerosols, the aerosol indirect effect and tropospheric ozone for climate change studies. This project will improve the representation of carbon and chemical processes, particularly for treatment of greenhouse gas emissions and aerosol feedbacks in collaboration with the DOE Atmospheric Science Program, DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program, and DOE Terrestrial Carbon Programs.
