Evan Mecham (/ˈmiːkəm/ MEE-kəm; May 12, 1924 – February 21, 2008) was the 17th Governor of Arizona. A decorated veteran of World War II, Mecham earned his living as an automotive dealership owner and occasional newspaper publisher. Periodic runs for political office earned him a reputation as a perennial candidate along with the nickname of "The Harold Stassen of Arizona" before he was elected governor, under the Republican banner.[2] As governor, Mecham was plagued by controversy and became the first U.S. governor to simultaneously face removal from office through impeachment, a scheduled recall election, and a felony indictment.[3] He was the first Arizona governor to be impeached.
Mecham served one term as a state senator before beginning a string of unsuccessful runs for public office. His victory during the 1986 election began with a surprise win of the Republican nomination, followed by a split of the Democratic party during the general election, resulted in a 3-way race. While governor, Mecham became known for statements and actions that were widely perceived as insensitive to minorities.[4] Among these actions were the cancellation of the state's paid Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and creating an unpaid King holiday on a Sunday, attributing high divorce rates to working women, and his defense of the word "pickaninny", in describing African American children. In reaction to these events, a boycott of Arizona was organized.[5] A rift between the governor and fellow Republicans in the Arizona Legislature developed after the Arizona Republic newspaper made accusations of questionable political appointments and cronyism against the governor; accusations that Mecham contended were false.
Having served from January 6, 1987, to April 4, 1988, Mecham was removed from office following conviction in his impeachment trial of charges of the obstruction of justice and the misuse of government funds - funds that Mecham maintained were private. A later criminal trial acquitted Mecham of related charges. Following his removal from office, Mecham remained active in politics for nearly a decade. During this time, he served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and made his final runs for Governor and for the U.S. Senate.
Early life and business career[edit]
Evan Mecham was born to Mormon parents in Mountain Home, Utah, and raised on his family's farm.[6] The youngest of five boys, with one younger sister, he graduated as salutatorian from Altamont High School in 1942 and enrolled in Utah State Agricultural College (now Utah State University) on an agricultural scholarship. Mecham left college and joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in January 1943. He was trained as a P-38 Lightning fighter pilot before being transferred to England, where he flew P-51 Mustangs. Mecham was shot down on March 7, 1945, while flying escort on a photo reconnaissance mission and was held as a prisoner of war for 22 days.[7] Mecham returned to the United States after recovering from injuries sustained in the lead-up to his capture, and received an Air Medal and Purple Heart for his service.[4] Mecham married Florence Lambert in May 1945 and was discharged in December of the same year.[8] Together, the couple raised seven children: Suzanne, Dennis, Christine, Eric, Teresa, Kyle and Lance.[9]
As a result of his Mormon upbringing, Mecham developed and maintained a strong religious faith. He taught Sunday school and served as a lay bishop in the LDS church from 1957 to 1961.[8] Part of his faith was that God would guide his actions and provide him the strength needed to endure. These beliefs were in part demonstrated during his time as Governor when one staff member reported hearing a conversation in Mecham's office before entering the room to find the Governor alone. Another staff member, Donna Carlson, reported that Mecham believed he had obtained office by divine right and was thus not overly concerned about the feelings of others.[10]
Mecham enrolled at Arizona State College (now Arizona State University) in 1947 and majored in management and economics. In 1950, he left school 16 credit hours short of a degree to start Mecham Pontiac and Rambler in Ajo.[11] Mecham relocated to Glendale in 1954 where he acquired and operated a Pontiac dealership until he sold it in March 1988. As a dealer, he appeared regularly in local television commercials and adopted his trademark motto of "If you can't deal with Mecham, you just can't deal." The Glendale dealership served as a base for other family-owned businesses, including Mecham Racing, Hauahaupan Mining Company and several auto dealerships in other states.[9]
In addition to his auto dealership, Mecham owned several short-lived newspapers. One of his papers, the Evening American, was printed as a Phoenix daily with maximum circulation of 27,000 before being becoming a weekly journal. As a newspaper publisher trying to break into the Phoenix and Tucson markets, Mecham testified before the U.S. Senate Antitrust and Monopoly subcommittee on July 13, 1967. This testimony was in response to a bill sponsored by U.S. Senator Carl Hayden that provided partial immunity from the Sherman Antitrust Act, allowing an economically healthy newspaper and one that was failing to form a joint venture combining advertising, printing, and distribution operations while maintaining separate reporting and editorial functions. While supporters of the bill claimed it would prevent newspaper failures, Mecham opposed the bill claiming "The major reason that this bill has been presented is because of the power of the press over the decisions of voters at the polls, and the desire of politicians to court the favor of those who control these monopolistic presses." He also added that "the tools of monopoly are in the common advertising and the common circulation department."[12]
Political career[edit]
Mecham first sought elected office in 1952, while still living in Ajo, with an unsuccessful run for the Arizona House of Representatives. After moving to Glendale, Mecham used the recognition gained from his television appearances to be elected to the Arizona Senate during the 1960 election.[9] After one term as a state senator, in 1962 Mecham attempted to capture the U.S. Senate seat held by Carl Hayden, running on a platform demanding the United States withdraw from the United Nations and critical of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling limiting school prayer.[8] The campaign first saw Mecham win a victory in the Republican primary over Stephen Shadegg, a former campaign manager for Barry Goldwater. Goldwater remained neutral. In the general election, Mecham received only tepid support from his party because of the value of Hayden's Senate seniority in passing legislation for the proposed Central Arizona Project.[9] Mecham was defeated in the general election but still polled 45 percent of the vote.[13]
Following his campaign against Hayden, Mecham made an unsuccessful run for state chairman of the Republican party in 1963 and unsuccessful runs for governor of Arizona in 1964, 1974, 1978, and 1982.[14] In these four runs, Mecham gained the Republican nomination only for the 1978 election.[15] He developed a political doctrine supporting Jeffersonian democracy and advocating elimination of income taxes, return of federal lands to state control, removing federal involvement in education, and putting welfare under state control.[16] In 1982, Mecham wrote his first book, Come Back America, in which he discusses his earlier life and political views.[17]
In his fifth try for governor, Mecham ran as a political outsider using his standard platform advocating political reform and tax relief. Mecham's opponent in the Republican primary, Burton Barr, had served as the Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives. Barr had the support of the state GOP leadership, including Barry Goldwater and John McCain. Mecham's core support came from fellow Mormons and the ultraconservative John Birch Society. A sizable portion of the state's retired population joined this core support with Mecham's promises of tax cuts. Because of Arizona's substantial transient population—only about half of the registered voters in 1986 were living in the state in 1980—Mecham's record of previous attempts to gain elected office was not widely known by the voters.[18] The primary election also saw the lowest voter turnout in nearly forty years due to unusual rain. Mecham overcame a fifteen-point deficit in the polls to win the Republican nomination with 54% of the vote.[19][20] Barr failed to spend much of his campaign warchest in the primary, ending his campaign with over a million dollars on hand.
The general election of 1986 saw a three-way race for governor. The Democratic Party had selected the state Superintendent of Public Education, Carolyn Warner, as its candidate. Dissatisfaction among the state's business and political leadership with both candidates allowed Bill Schulz, a real estate developer and Democrat who had withdrawn from the Democratic primary because of a family illness,[21] to obtain enough petition signatures to run as an independent candidate. Six years earlier, Schulz had nearly defeated longtime U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was slow to endorse Mecham in this race, but did so officially at a dinner in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. During the campaign, the Arizona Automobile Dealers Association's ethics committee placed Mecham's dealership on probation for being chronically tardy in responding to complaints.[22] The Democratic split caused by Schulz's re-entry allowed Mecham's campaign to survive.[23] Mecham won the election with a 40% plurality while Warner and Schulz received 34% and 26% respectively.[24]
Mecham was inaugurated on January 6, 1987. Among his claimed successes were the opening of a trade office in Taiwan that allowed for a $63 million cotton export contract and strengthening drug abuse prevention efforts through legislation allowing the governor to appoint pro tem judges to deal with drug-related issues. The governor also spearheaded an effort within the National Governor's Association to raise the speed limit on rural highways from 55 mph (90 km/h) to 65 mph (105 km/h)[25] and supported a legislative bill to prevent takeover of Arizona businesses. During Mecham's term of office, a $157 million budget deficit was eliminated by reductions in state spending.[26][27]
Despite these accomplishments, Mecham faced difficulties during much of his term. Because he had run as a political outsider, other Republicans only had party loyalty as a reason to follow the new governor. This lack of strong loyalty made it easy for his support to fall as a series of political gaffes damaged Mecham's popularity.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day[edit]
Evan Mecham gained national attention several days after inauguration by fulfilling his campaign promise to cancel a paid Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday (MLK Day) for state employees. The holiday had been created in May 1986 by executive order from the previous governor, Bruce Babbitt, after the state legislature had voted not to create the holiday. Following the creation of the holiday, the state Attorney General's office issued an opinion that the paid holiday was illegal and threatened to sue the incoming governor over the cost of the paid holiday, as it had not been approved by the legislature. Despite the issues of the legality of how the holiday was created, Mecham replied to comments from civil rights activists and the black community after the cancellation by saying "King doesn't deserve a holiday." This was followed by him telling a group of black community leaders, "You folks don't need another holiday. What you folks need are jobs."[28][29]
In reaction to the cancellation, a protest march to the state capital was held on January 19, 1987, the day the holiday would have occurred. Conventions scheduled to be held in Arizona were canceled, and performer Stevie Wonder and writer Harlan Ellison separately announced that they would boycott the state. The rap group Public Enemy released a song in regard to the cancellation of the MLK holiday entitled "By the Time I Get to Arizona"; in the video for the song, the group was seen assassinating Mecham by planting a bomb underneath his limousine and detonating it by remote control.
After several months of criticism, Mecham declared a non-paid holiday on the third Sunday in January. Reaction in the state to the non-paid holiday was generally poor.[18]
Relations with legislature[edit]
Despite both houses of the state legislature being controlled by fellow Republicans, Mecham was on poor terms with state lawmakers. He repeatedly asserted that he was under no obligation to cooperate with the legislature; that he was answerable only to the Constitution—which, he believed, had been divinely revealed.[30] An initial irritant for the lawmakers were nominees to executive offices by Mecham that were considered low quality and were made without consulting legislative leaders. Among these was Alberto Rodriguez, as superintendent of the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control, while he was under investigation for murder.[31] Other questionable nominations included the director of the Department of Revenue, whose company was in arrears by $25,000 on employment compensation payments;[21] an appointee for head of prison construction who had served prison time for armed robbery;[32] and a former Marine, nominated as a state investigator, who had been court-martialled twice.[27] Other political appointees who caused Mecham embarrassment were an education adviser, James Cooper, who told a legislative committee "If a student wants to say the world is flat, the teacher doesn't have the right to prove otherwise";[18][33] and Sam Steiger, the Governor's special assistant, who was charged with extortion.[27]
Mecham's legislative initiatives suffered due to his poor relations with the legislature. The governor's proposals to cut taxes were foiled when the legislature refused to cut the state's five per cent sales tax by one percentage point.[26] Much of the opposition to this tax cut was due to the governor having no proposals for which programs were to be affected by the reduction in tax revenues when the legislation was introduced, thus preventing individual lawmakers from determining how their constituencies would be affected by the change.[34] When Mecham later proposed a $2.3 billion budget which attempted to reduce spending by cutting education funding and freezing state employee salaries, it was increased by $200 million by the legislature.[26][33] Mecham helped sour relations by vetoing some bills that had been passed by the legislature. After Senate Majority Leader Bob Usdane saw a bill he had sponsored vetoed, he stated "I'd say that the cooperation was not great...but it's his prerogative". House Majority Leader Jim Ratliff, who had previously been a Mecham supporter, responded to one of his bills being vetoed with "My only message to the governor is, if he thinks that people advising him to veto [my bill] can help him run the state of Arizona better than I can, then let them."[35]
Other incidents[edit]
Besides the uproar caused by the MLK Day cancellation, Mecham committed other political faux pas. Claims of prejudice were made against Mecham after he defended the use of the word "pickaninny" to describe black children, claimed that high divorce rates were caused by working women, claimed America is a Christian nation to a Jewish audience, and said a group of visiting Japanese businessmen got "round eyes" after being told of the number of golf courses in Arizona. In response to claims that he was a racist, Mecham said, "I've got black friends. I employ black people. I don't employ them because they are black; I employ them because they are the best people who applied for the cotton-picking job."[28] These and other statements only strengthened the allegations of racism made against the governor following the MLK day cancellation.
Mecham made an issue of his relationship with the press. Claiming that many of his problems were caused by media enemies he had made during previous runs for political office, the governor stated, "The Phoenix newspaper monopoly has had my political destruction as its goal for many years."[26][36] The governor also claimed, "Every daily newspaper in the state endorsed a different candidate besides me. It's taking them a little time to get used to the idea that I was the people's choice."[33] In response to his perceived mistreatment by the press, Mecham attempted to ban a journalist from his press conferences. John Kolbe, a political columnist for the Phoenix Gazette and brother of Congressman Jim Kolbe, was declared a "non-person" after a February 25, 1987, column critical of Mecham's performance at the National Governors Association. The Governor then refused to acknowledge the presence of the columnist or answer his questions at a press conference. Mecham left the conference after other reporters repeated Kolbe's questions.[33] Another incident occurred during a televised event in which a reporter questioned the governor's integrity, prompting Mecham to reply, "Don't you ever ask me for a true statement again."[28]
In September 1987, Mecham received further national attention when Doonesbury began a six strip series of comics lampooning the governor. The first strip depicted Mecham saying, "My! What a cute little pickaninny!" while patting the head of a black child. Other strips satirized Mecham's tolerance of others, political appointments, and the state's loss of tourism business. For a short time, Mecham considered suing the strip's creator, but later said he had decided to leave the dispute "where it belongs—the funny pages."[18][26]
Throughout his administration, Mecham expressed concern about possible eavesdropping on his private communications. A senior member of Mecham's staff broke his leg after falling through a false ceiling he had been crawling over, looking for covert listening devices. A private investigator was hired to sweep the governor's offices looking for bugs. The Governor was quoted as saying, "Whenever I'm in my house or my office, I always have a radio on. It keeps the lasers out." After this was reported, a political cartoon by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Steve Benson appeared in the Arizona Republic depicting the governor leaving his house outfitted for laser tag. When asked about this by reporters, Attorney General Bob Corbin replied in amusement, "We don't have any ray gun pointed at him."[28]
Economic impact[edit]
Publicity over Mecham's faux pas led to the state experiencing adverse economic effects. Tourism suffered when groups and conventions transferred their meetings out of Arizona. In November 1987, a Phoenix-area convention bureau claimed that Mecham's policies on Martin Luther King Day had caused the cancellation of 45 conventions worth over $25 million.[27] One of these cancellations was a National Basketball Association convention in Phoenix. In response to the cancellation, Mecham was quoted to say "Well, the N.B.A. I guess they forget how many white people they get coming to watch them play."[37]
Public perception of Mecham also slowed down economic development outside the tourism industry. Several corporations looking for locations to build new facilities, including US West and SEMATECH, expressed concern that the governor's statements might indicate problems in the local business climate. The executive director of the Phoenix Economic Growth Corp., Ioanna T. Morfessis, stated "When companies look at a state's environment they don't want anything that sounds to them like the state isn't working right." As the controversy surrounding the governor built even the business interests within the state abandoned support for him. As the chairman of the state chamber of commerce, William L. Raby, observed "We usually back Republicans, but he's a different kind of Republican."[26]
Removal efforts[edit]
While criticism plagued Governor Mecham for most of his time in office, it was not until he had been in office for six months that his nominal allies began to break ranks with him. In July 1987, the same month the recall effort officially began, a group of thirteen rank-and-file Republican members of the state legislature met to discuss the governor's image problems. Eleven members of the group, dubbed the Dirty Dozen by the local press, issued a joint statement critical of many of the governor's efforts.[38] Calls for the governor's resignation followed several months afterwards, with former U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater leading the way on October 9, 1987.[18] As Mecham's problems continued to build, other Arizona political leaders, including Congressman Jon Kyl and Senator John McCain, made appeals for Mecham to step down, but the governor steadfastly refused to leave office.[39]
Recall drive[edit]
The Mecham Watchdog Committee was organized in January 1987 and changed its name to the Mecham Recall Committee in May 1987. By Arizona law, recall petitions could not be circulated until an official had been in office 180 days. These petitions needed a number of signatures equal to 25% of votes cast during the official's last election to cause a recall election. On July 6, 1987, the first day that petitions could be circulated, the recall committee began an effort to collect 350,000 signatures, significantly more than the 216,746 signatures required. The recall committee was led by Ed Buck, a registered Republican and gay businessman living in the Phoenix area. In response, Mecham claimed the recall supporters were "a band of homosexuals and dissident Democrats." Mecham supporters printed bumper stickers reading "Queer Ed Buck's Recall" after learning of the recall leader's sexual orientation. Mecham also mailed 25,000 letters during September to conservatives nationwide requesting that they move to Arizona and support him in case a recall election were held.[18][40]
The recall tended to gather signatures in bursts, with most signatures occurring shortly after some action of the governor offended a segment of the state's voters. Anger toward the governor grew to the point that on August 15, Mecham's appearance at Sun Devil Stadium before an exhibition NFL game resulted in cries of "Recall! Recall!" combined with catcalls. By mid-September, signatures in excess of the minimum required had been collected at roadside locations despite the 115 °F (46 °C) afternoon heat of the Arizona summer.[18][41] Signature collection continued for the full 120-day period allowed for by state law. On November 2, the recall committee turned in 32,401 petitions containing 388,988 signatures (more than the 343,913 votes Mecham had received during his election). After the Secretary of State's office received the petitions, Mecham refused to waive verification of the signatures, forcing the petitions to be sent to the counties for verification. On January 26, 1988, Secretary of State Rose Mofford reported to Mecham that 301,032 signatures had been verified—a quantity sufficient to force a recall election.[42] A recall election was scheduled for May 17, 1988, and former Republican Congressman John Rhodes agreed to run against Mecham.[43]
Impeachment and criminal charges[edit]
On October 21, 1987, the Arizona Republic ran a story claiming that Mecham had failed to report a $350,000 loan from local real-estate developer Barry Wolfson to Mecham's election campaign as required by campaign financing laws.[44] These claims were added to a grand jury investigation into allegations that Mecham had lent $80,000 in public funds to help his auto dealership.[45] Upon learning of the alleged Wolfson loan, the Speaker of Arizona's House of Representatives hired a special counsel to investigate the charges.[46] The third and final impeachment charge involved an alleged death threat to a government official by Horace Lee Watkins, a Mecham appointee, in November 1987. When Mecham was informed of the threat, it was reported that he instructed the head of the Arizona Department of Public Safety not to provide information on the incident to the Attorney General.[47]
On January 8, 1988, a grand jury issued indictments against Evan Mecham and Willard Mecham, the Governor's brother and campaign finance manager, charging three counts of perjury, two counts of fraud, and one count of failing to report a campaign contribution. Mecham and his brother faced 22 years in prison if convicted on all charges.[48][49]
The special counsel appointed by the Speaker of the House delivered his report to the House on January 15.[48] Based on this report, the House began hearings into possible impeachment proceedings on January 19.[45] These resulted in the passing of House Resolution 2002 on February 8 by a vote of 46 to 14.[50] Upon Mecham's impeachment by the House, his powers as governor were suspended and Secretary of State Rose Mofford became acting governor. Arizona has no lieutenant governor, so the secretary of state stands first in the order of succession if he or she has been popularly elected.[50]
The Arizona State Senate convened as a court of impeachment on February 29.[51] Mecham's supporters compared the impeachment trial to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.[52] The charges against Mecham in the impeachment trial were obstruction of justice, filing a false statement, and misuse of government funds. The false filings charge was dropped by the Senate on a vote of 16 to 12.[53] Arguably, the testimony most damaging to Mecham was his own, during which he repeated his assertion that the Legislature had no authority over him, and berated individual legislators.[30] On April 4, the Senate convicted Mecham on obstruction of justice by a vote of 21 to 9, and on misusing government funds by a vote of 26 to 4. The Senate then voted 17 to 12 to disqualify Mecham from holding state office again, but that was short of the two-thirds majority required for passage.[54] Upon conviction, Mecham was removed from office and Mofford became Governor of Arizona. The recall election was canceled by the Arizona Supreme Court in a 4 to 1 ruling that the constitutionally mandated order of succession took precedence over the state's recall provisions.[55]
The criminal case against Mecham and his brother went to trial on June 2. Attorneys who analyzed the proceedings later concluded that the Mechams' lawyers' most successful strategy was keeping their clients off of the witness stand.[56] The jury found that prosecutors failed to prove that the Mechams knowingly erred on their campaign reports, and acquitted them of all six felony charges on June 10.[57]
After office[edit]
Following his removal from office and acquittal in his criminal trial, Mecham remained active in politics for several years. Mecham served as an at-large delegate to the 1988 Republican National Convention[58] and in 1990 he made an unsuccessful attempt to regain the Governor's office. In 1992, he received one nomination vote for President of the United States at the Constitution Party National Convention, and then made a run for the U.S. Senate as an independent against incumbent John McCain, receiving 145,361 votes (about 10%). In 1995, Mecham became chairman of the Constitutionalist Networking Center, a group attempting to create a grassroots organization called the Constitutionally Unified Republic for Everybody (CURE). CURE advocated political candidates supporting a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution.[16] Mecham spent several years attempting to start a new newspaper, but was unable to secure sufficient financial backing.[59] In 1999, Mecham wrote his third book, Wrongful Impeachment. Health issues, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, first reported in 2004, forced Mecham's withdrawal from the public arena and his commitment to the dementia unit of the Arizona State Veteran Home.[60] Evan Mecham died on February 21, 2008.[1][61] He is interred at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.[62]
The canceled Martin Luther King Day served as a point of controversy for years following Mecham's removal from office. In 1989, an Arizona law making a MLK holiday by canceling the state's Columbus Day holiday was challenged by two different groups, one opposed to the King holiday due to King's alleged communist ties and the other composed of Italian-Americans opposed to the removal of the Columbus Day holiday, and the new holiday was forced to undergo voter approval.[63] Neither of the two competing ballot initiatives during the 1990 election—one removing the Columbus Day holiday to make way for a new MLK day holiday, the other to add an extra paid holiday—managed to obtain a required majority even though 65% of voters supported at least one form of the holiday. In response to the voters' rejection of a King holiday, Arizona tourist officials estimated that concert and convention business worth $190 million were canceled and the National Football League moved Super Bowl XXVII, worth an estimated US $150 million from the state, to Pasadena, California. Another initiative in 1992 succeeded in creation of a statewide MLK day holiday.[64] Afterwards, the NFL awarded Super Bowl XXX to Arizona.
Arizona's election laws were affected by Mecham's legacy. In 1988, Arizona voters passed an initiative that amended the state constitution to require a runoff election when no candidate received a majority of the votes in a general election.[65] This runoff requirement came into play during the 1990 election of Fife Symington,[66] who defeated Democratic candidate Terry Goddard but fell just shy of a majority due to a minor independent candidate. The amendment requiring the runoff was repealed by the voters in 1992.[67]

UPDATE: This story was written Thursday, April 23rd and contains information relevant to that time. To read the updated story written Friday, April 24th, click here.
This afternoon six students at La Mesa Jr. High in Canyon Country were taken to the hospital following concerns over bottled Aquafina water in the school's vending machines.
According to Hart District spokeswoman Pat Willett, the first student reported feeling slightly nauseous after drinking from an Aquafina bottle of water.
School officials then transported the student to the hospital as a precaution.
Teachers were notified of the incident, and they promptly told all students who noticed anything suspicious about a bottled beverage that day to report it to the office. Five students came forward and said that they too had sipped bottled Aquafina water, but stopped when they realized that it looked cloudy and tasted abnormal.
{mosimage}Despite showing no symptoms, all five students were transferred to three local hospitals; Providence Holy Cross, Henry Mayo and Olive View.
All the while La Mesa staff were at work shutting down the vending machines on campus and identifying which batch the tainted water came from.
Willett confirmed that all six of the students have been medically checked and given a clean bill of health.
The source of the water contamination is still unclear however, and Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives are working at the school site along with LA County Hazardous Materials crews and members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
So far, no evidence of individual product tampering has been reported.
Pepsi, who owns Aquafina water, has been notified of the incident and all affected serial numbers.
Editor's Note: Pepsi concluded an investigation Friday of the Aquafina bottling site where the questionable water originated and have found no evidence that the contamination occurred at the site. To read their statement click here.
Every school in the Hart District has pulled all Aquafina products matching the tainted batch out of the retail cycle.
The six students who drank the water described a taste similar to a cleaning product, which has led to the possibility that the foul taste may be attributed to some form of detergent used at the bottling site.
KHTS will update this story when more information becomes available, however at this time it is believed that all tainted bottles have been removed from the students. Any student who purchased an Aquafina bottled water and has yet to consume it is advised to turn it in to their school office.

In this paper, a 36.1 GHz single stage LNA using a simple passive output matching technique is demonstrated. The circuit is simulated in Cadence Spectre with 0.13μm CMOS process parameters. The simulated results exhibit a forward gain of 11.4 dB at 36.1 GHz and 4.9 GHz Bandwidth. Reverse isolation is less than -24.6 dB and the input-output matchings are -30.4 dB and -27.65 dB respectively. The circuit achieves a NF of 2.9 dB at the center frequency and consumes only 3.38 mW of power when driven from 1.2 Vpower supply. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a single stage LNA operating at such high frequency is yet to be reported.

Thread: Trade rumor
-04-23-2008 #1
Trade rumor
Rumor is swirling that Atlanta is willing to trade the second of their three 2nd round picks to move up one to the Rams spot to guarantee they get Dorsey. That's #6 in the second round.

Re: Trade rumor
If that rumor were true, the Rams would have to be insane not to make the deal.
Heck, I'd switch with the Falcons for an extra fourth round pick. The Rams would still get Chris Long and a free pick.

Re: Trade rumor
I said it was just a rumor. I didn't say it was a fact.
The move from #3 to #2 is equal to their #17 pick in the second round (their third).
I don't think it is out of the question. If the Falcons are worried the Saints will be offering enough to get the Rams to trade, why not trade a second rounder if you have three?

Re: Trade rumor
Jim Thomas said on the radio this morning that he had heard the rumor and commented that the Rams are requiring the #1 of the Falcon three picks in the second. When mentioned that it really equated to the third on the sheet he said worst case they would take is second. If you want a written link, I suggest you search the net high and low.
-04-23-2008 #14Falconator Guest
Re: Trade rumor
I think that if the Rams have such a high value of Glen Dorsey that they want any of the Falcons 2nd round picks to move down one spot - if Rams like Dorsey that much - I think the Falcons will invite the Rams to just go ahead and take Dorsey......Falcons are not giving up a 2nd rounder for Dorsey.......i know your just reporting the "rumor" - i'm just telling you its not happening......if it does, I will come back here after draft and post a message saying "Falconator eats crow" - deal?
-04-23-2008 #15
Re: Trade rumor
Yeah, this would be absolutely phenomenal and I'm praying that Dorsey is smoke screen for Atlanta.
Always and Forever a fan of the St. Louis Rams

Brian Wilson diagnosed with structural damage in elbow, will meet with Dr. James Andrews
Apr 14, 2012, 7:23 PM EDT
John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle shares this bit of troubling news:
Brian Wilson structural damage elbow, facing possible surgery, possibly meeting with Dr. Andrews.
— John Shea (@JohnSheaHey) April 14, 2012
Wilson is expected to be placed on the disabled list Sunday when the Giants activate Ryan Vogelsong and could miss the rest of the 2012 campaign if it is indeed recommended that he goes under the knife.
Wilson told reporters that he "felt something" in his throwing elbow after making two consecutive appearances this week. He had an MRI late Friday that revealed the structural problem.
The 30-year-old right-hander had allowed four hits and two earned runs in two innings of work this season.
UPDATE, 7:51 PM: The Associated Press is reporting that Wilson WILL visit with Andrews, who of course specializes in Tommy John surgery. Wilson had the Tommy John procedure in 2003 and could need it again.
UPDATE, 8:47 PM: Giants manager Bruce Bochy told Nate Stuhlbarg of CSNBayArea.com that Wilson is now "likely" to have surgery. If it's the Tommy John variety, he'll be done for the rest of 2012.
- thomas2727 - Apr 14, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Horrible news for Wilson since he had Tommy John surgery in 2003.
How many pitchers have salvaged careers after a 2nd Tommy John Surgery?
- ditka96 - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Hong-Chih Kuo (4 times), and Chris Capuano (twice) and that is about it for pitchers that have had atleast twice and returned to pitch. Xavier Nady had it twice as a position player.
- biasedhomer - Apr 14, 2012 at 7:40 PM
Really bad news for him, at least he'll have a career off the field though, no matter how poorly he does on it.
- randygnyc - Apr 14, 2012 at 7:40 PM
I don't recall specifically, but there are a few pitchers that have successfully returned after multiple TJ surgeries.
- rob0527 - Apr 14, 2012 at 7:57 PM
I thought Tommy John surgery was like the chicken pox. Once u got it and recovered u can't get it again.
Just makes us Yankee fans appreciate Mo that much more.
- rythestunner - Apr 14, 2012 at 11:21 PM
Not even close. You can't be "immune" from a physical injury. Tommy John surgery is just the replacement of a ligament in the elbow. You're just as prone to injuring that new ligament as you were the one you were born with.
- stengy - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Does this make Sergio Ramos the new closer? Need to know for fantasy baseball….
- stengy - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:06 PM
SF options are: Santiago Casilla, Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez
- marklar1025 - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:11 PM
dont forget Heath Hembree –
- marklar1025 - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:10 PM
a lot of peeps will come ITT and talk trash about how he was never good in the 1st place, shave the beard, too much schtick, etc etc. This guy sacrificed his arm, his future (a lot like Rob Nenn) for that WS run. He was money that whole season, pitching more than an inning on several occasions. 48 saves, 1.81era + 10 more saves in the post season will never be forgotten by Giants fans. Hope its not TJ surgery but something is obviously wrong with his velocity and command. Hope he gets better and pitches again. Go Giants!
- Kevin S. - Apr 14, 2012 at 8:37 PM
Hey, Sabean, Soriano-for-Belt. Yanks will even kick in Raffy's 2012 salary!
- Kevin S. - Apr 14, 2012 at 10:11 PM
Oh, c'mon. Tell me that any fan of a team with a spare veteran reliever (especially if he has a closing pedigree) isn't salivating over Belt right now, given Sabean's history.

Sad news. I'm not a giant's fan, but Wilson was always fun to watch on and off the the field. Hope he makes it back, but its always a crap shoot with Tommy john even with all the success stories.
Another guy that has had it twice is Joe Nathan
- brewcrewfan54 - Apr 14, 2012 at 10:14 PM
Wilson is an odd dude but he's one of the good guys in baseball. Sucks that it looks like he's going to be missing a significant amount of time again.
- whosgotitbetter - Apr 14, 2012 at 10:15 PM
they won't trade belt because they have Hembree to call up if needed. he is the best closing prospect in a while. Romo or Casilla can cover also
- Kevin S. - Apr 15, 2012 at 7:24 AM
They signed Huff to block Belt when he was the best 1b prospect in baseball. They signed Molina to block Posey when he was the best C prospect in baseball, and they only moved Bengie when Buster forced them to. Never underestimate Sabean's proclivity for shafting promising kids in favor of overpaid vets.
- Ben - Apr 14, 2012 at 10:26 PM
Well the only good news that can come of this is that Romo is perhaps the best reliever in all of baseball.
- hosmachine - Apr 14, 2012 at 10:39 PM
that dang taco bell commercial, the XXL chalupa was just to much.
- aceshigh11 - Apr 14, 2012 at 11:24 PM
That sucks.
His shtick might rub some people the wrong way, but make no mistake: he takes baseball seriously. He keeps himself in excellent shape and works his ass off.
Here's hoping he bounces back…baseball is more fun with a few characters like Wilson in it.
- mungman69 - Apr 15, 2012 at 12:53 PM
Brian Wilson is related to me. I haven't talked to him since Christmas time and everything seemed fine. We all wish him the best and we know that he will be back very soon.

Elowah Falls captured from the middle of the stream, taken at 400 ISO because a longer exposure just would get too much mist on the lens. A 300 ft drop these falls make and I don't think I have seen so much water. The heavy rain tranformed this relatively tranquil creek into a torrent. waterfall framed prints

Vacation rentals in United States, Canada, Mexico (condos, cottages, houses, apartments) |
> SlowTrav > USA > Vacation Rentals > Reviews > Florida Review 4815: Owner, Villa sul Mare Recommended
3bed/2bath condo at Fort Myers Beach, Florida WhenOctober 22, 2010, 10 days LocationThis condo is in a small resort called White Cap Beach Condos, located directly across from the Gulf of Mexico on Fort Myers Beach. Our view of the beach and the amazing sunsets was wonderful. It's in a quiet area of the island, and very convenient to restaurants, a marina, a great grocery store and other things. Our family likes Fort Myers because it's interesting and charming - old world Florida. Nearby AmenitiesWe could walk to the Publix grocery store which was a very nice store. The best restaurant on the island is on the inter-coastal, just two blocks away at the Snook Bight Marina. We rented a boat for the day too, which was terrific. The gulf is often so calm and we toured the coast to Naples and back. Getting around is easy either by car or the local trolley. The House/ApartmentThe Condo is new and impeccably decorated. It's very large and open. There are about 10 other units and no shared walls... just one shared floor. There is an elevator so when you're moving in the luggage can go up the easy way! The owner has supplied the kitchen fully and they have a gas grill for BBQ. We grilled our own fish one night. We loved having wine on the front porch and toasting to the sunset. GardenThere is a shared pool with loungers around the deck. The owners provide beach towels and beach chairs to take out to the beach. WE just crossed through a lovely park, which has picnic tables, bocce ball courts and a public restroom. It was all in bloom with local flowers and grasses. The beach here is wonderful ... sugary white, soft sand. The water is shallow and usually calm, so it's safe for kids and relaxing to float. Furnishings/Cleanliness/Living AreasThe condo was spotless upon arrival. The furnishings are beautiful. Nicer than one might expect. Everything is new or like new. Even some antiques for a nice touch. The dining table seats eight and the sectional sofa with the chaise lounge was awesome. There are also chairs on the front porch and the back lanai. Bedrooms/BathroomsThere are two queen beds, pillow tops and very comfy. Two twin beds. Aero beds in the linen closet for two more. The master bath is very large with his and her sinks, a shower and a tub and an enormous walk-in closet. The second bath was very clean, and worked perfectly well for all. In short, everything is really really spacious and well done. KitchenBeautiful granite counter tops. New appliances, Kitchen Aid dishwasher, GE fridge etc. Plenty of cookware, utensils, all clean and in order. It's a very large kitchen area. We love to cook and we were never crowded. Problems or BonusesA button on the SAT TV remote didn't work, and the manager replaced it right away. Agency and Representatives (and price)I booked directly with the owner. She was very helpful. She has local management and they were professional and everything was straight forwarded... no surprises. We went there, got the key and that was it. There are instructions for emergencies, check out, how to operate the TV/Stereo etc. Do you recommend this vacation rental to others?YES, YES, YES. In fact my sister-in-law and parents have already been here, so I came at their recommendations! We'll be back! Check out Villa sul Mare's website. There are lots of photos, a video and info to contact them. Also, a calendar to check to see if they are open for your dates. Things to do in this areaLoved Bayfront Bistro and Doc Fords.

I'm so glad to hear that Chandler won and that the show won! I didn't even bother to watch because I didn't have high hopes. Congratulations, Days! |

It's still such a damn shame that when they announced the noms for best supporting actress they put the camera on the woman NEXT to Ari, and they missed this:
Ari looked so beautiful too! Posted Image Edited by TreasureCove, Jun 17 2013, 03:05 PM.

Meh, it's based on a couple of reels. I can imagine the Daysaster doing well though. I'm guessing Jack was in the episode submitted. :) I barely watch Days, because it's not very interesting to me lately. The show just isn't making me care about the characters or their relationships. I used to be into EJami, but the show didn't even milk the drama potential before sticking them together. Most of the characters are just too bland. I guess there's Kristen, but I've never been very interested in her. I like Nicole, but she's got to finally get a love story that flies. Her credibility is already questionable. I'm not sure they're playing the Eric stuff as well as they could be. Maybe JJ will manage to be interesting if he doesn't just play angst for Dannifer (they are so boring!) and then start feeling the love after Dan miraculously puts his liver back in or something. But anyway, I suppose their reels were decent. I don't watch the other shows much, but I've always thought YR to be incredibly dull. How does it do so well? I don't get it. |

I thought Ari looked awful...her hair was a disaster and her dress was BLAH....not her best effort in that department for sure. |

I was very happy Days won Best Show, especially for the actors that work so hard to make this show! Days has some wonderful actors that deserve this win :) |

As a long time fan (26 years old, started in 1995, have seen 80's and early 90's through tape edits and youtube), I admit that this past year wasn't the greatest but 2013 has been superb. DOOL has been rocking, especially since May and its great to see it get recognized. They deserve it. I really do think we are seeing the show through a Renaissance period. I havent enjoyed the show this much since the late 90s. |

Illegal immigrant living in Wichita sentenced to more than 5 years in federal prison on gun charge
Correction: Burciaga-Alcantar pleaded guilty to the charge of illegal alien in possession of a firearm. An earlier version of this story was unclear on his immigration status.
An illegal immigrant who was living in Wichita has been sentenced to more than five years in federal prison for illegal possession of firearms, authorities said Tuesday.
Guadalupe Burciaga-Alcantar, 39, who is from Ojinaga, Mexico, was arrested in October after a traffic stop by Sedgwick County Sheriff's deputies, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a prepared statement. Two loaded handguns were recovered from a pickup Burciaga was driving.
Burciaga admitted to the deputies the firearms were his, Grissom said. He pleaded guilty in December to the charge of illegal alien in possession of a firearm.
He was sentenced Monday in federal court to 65 months in a U.S. prison, followed by deportation to Mexico, Grissom said. The federal statutes that prohibit felons from possessing firearms also prohibit persons unlawfully in the United States to possess firearms, he said.

Alabama House District 47 candidate Charles "Chip" McCallum has asked the secretary of state to correct his name on the November election ballot.McCallum, who is running as an independent against state Rep. Jack Williams, R-Vestavia Hills, discovered Monday he was listed as "Chip McCallum, III" on a sample ballot.
McCallum wants to be listed as Charles A. "Chip" McCallum, III" because that is the name he submitted to the secretary of state's office when he petitioned to be put on the ballot.
"We're concerned particularly for certification reasons," said Kristi McHale, McCallum's campaign manager.
"If Chip were to win the election under Chip McCallum III, has he won it? We have submitted all of our petitions as Charles A. "Chip" McCallum III," she said. "And we just want to make sure there are no issues in the end, no voter confusion on the ballot and that the information given to the voters is correct."McCallum sent a formal letter to Secretary of State Beth Chapman, requesting the change be made, but he has not heard from Chapman, McHale said Wednesday afternoon.
Efforts to reach Chapman or her chief of staff, Emily Thompson, for comment were unsuccessful.
Jefferson County is responsible for printing the ballots that will contain
McCallum's name.Jefferson County Probate Judge Alan King said the county lists names on the ballot as certified by the secretary of state's office. Current ballots list Chip McCallum, III. But King added he spoke with Sid Browning, the county's supervisor of elections, who informed him that "an amended certification has been mailed to us," King said.
King said he did not want to comment on how much it would cost to reprint ballots or what would happen until he receives the amended certification.

Morality in a Time of War
What is the role of the scientist in a time of war? Frayn appears to ask this question in Copenhagen. Is it the scientist's duty to use the results of the most recent and significant research to help to protect his or her homeland, even if it means the destruction of thousands of lives? Or does a scientist have a moral obligation to use his research to improve life on this planet? Who made the better decision between Bohr and Heisenberg? Was it Bohr, when he helped create the atom bomb, thus saving the world from several cruel dictators, despite the cost to Japan? Or did Heisenberg make a better moral decision, if in fact he did thwart the creation of an atomic bomb and thus disallowed the Nazis the upper hand in World War II? Can one even talk in terms of...

The Worland Family in America and Beyond
I began my life in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, on an island filled with forests and wild rhododendrons. I was separated from my Worland family there at an early age. Recently, I was reunited with my family and learned of my heritage. And so, this journey to know my ancestors began. The Worlands, Gideons, Newtons, Conards... they were the colonists, the settlers, the pioneers. They fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War. This is their story, and the story of a nation. -Deci Worland MacKinnon

Editors' Review
+Batch Image Resizer for Mac enables you to alter and resize multiple images at once, while making image tweaks along the way. The interface is easy to navigate, and the software carries out its stated function efficiently.
Good layout: This app's interface is clear, with a space on the right to add the files you want to adjust, and a panel on the left where you can enter your preferences. As you work your way down the left side, you'll make selections for scaling, rotation, and border. You also have the option of adding a watermark to your images and determining their opacity and placement.
Saving options: You also have several options when it comes to saving your new, resized files. For instance, you can opt to overwrite the original images or save the altered images to a new path. You can choose a prefix or suffix to attach to all new files as well, or you can pick an entirely new file name.
Trial limitations: The trial version only allows you to process three images at a time. Because the purpose of this software is to resize batches of images, it would be nice to be able to test its ability to handle large batches before deciding to purchase.
Bottom Line
Batch Image Resizer is easy to use, and it performs its stated function well. The trial restriction may limit your ability to test it out, though.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Batch Image Resizer for Mac 1.6.1.

+If you have ever needed to re-size multiple pictures for your web page, then Batch Image Resizer is for you. With Batch Image Resizer, you can resize, rotate, add a transparent border, and save pictures with an icon preview. Best of all, it uses batch mode processing - so you can manipulate multiple pictures at once. You can save the pictures in several different formats as well. You can fit the images to a box, resize by the longest side, save in PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP format. You can even extract the first page of a PDF document, convert it to an image, and resize it. Batch Image Resizer now allows you to watermark your pictures and also rename them using a variety of naming patterns. The majority of the commonly used settings are in the main window, and the app "remembers" all of your previous settings. If you have a commonly used method for uploading and watermarking photos to a website, this app will make your life a breeze because once all of your settings are saved, you can literally drag, drop, resize, watermark all in one step.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed an issue where some files with a forward slash in the name would not be resized properly.
- Improved handling of resolution adjustments (DPI settings) to make it more reliable.

Event Details
We've never done this before! :-) In the great D20 tradition of weird/cool events, we are doing a special two-headed Giant where instead of the 60 cards each player from 4 packs, we'll have 30 cards from two packs PLUS the 60 cards from one of the either Gatecrash or Return to Ravnica Intro decks. Each player gets one of the intro decks with their two packs by pulling from a box at random and the two players make their best 40 card decks each from the combo.
This should be huge fun, and as always, limited by space, so sign up early.
When: Saturday April 2oth. Get packs starting at 4, start play at 5:3o.
What: Two-headed giant team event. Three rounds (one game each), win a round, win two packs for the team.

The Income-tax Department these days issues more reassessment notices than regular notices for scrutiny. After an assessment under Sec. 143(1) accepting the return, notice under Sec. 148 is being received for the first time after the normal time limit for issue of notice under Sec. 143(2) has expired. Are there no limitations for indiscriminate issue of such notices?
The law places a time limit for issue of notice for assessment or reassessment. Assessment is not expected to be made endless by process of reassessment. Since the taxpayer is entitled to peace after reasonable time after return, the law has placed outer time limits for issue of both notices for scrutiny and for back assessments.
Where the assessing officer passes an order under Sec. 143(1), it is not an assessment or in other words, a regular assessment.
He is merely raising a demand or issues a refund in respect of tax short-paid or over-paid with reference to declared income. After June 1, 1999, even if he were to find a case for prima facie adjustment of income, he can do so only after taking up the case for scrutiny by issue of notice under Sec. 143(2) of the Act. The order under Sec. 143(1) is no bar for a regular assessment by notice under Sec. 143(2) in the same year or for notice under Sec. 147 after the expiry of time limit for issue of notice under Sec. 143(2), if such notice is issued within time, subject to conditions necessary for the same.
Sec. 147 prescribes time limit and conditions for issue of notice under Sec. 148 for a back assessment, whether by way of fresh assessment or reassessment.
Where no return has been filed by an assessee, action could be taken under Sec. 147 for six preceding assessment years besides the current assessment year for which notice under Sec. 142(1) of the Act can be issued.
Escapement can be inferred if the assessing officer is of the view that the assessee has earned income above the taxable limit. Jurisdiction in such cases is indeed wide.
Where a return had been filed by the assessee, either within the time allowed under Sec. 139(1) or within the time for belated or revised return under Sec. 139(4) or (5) and no assessment has been made by issue of scrutiny notice under Sec. 143(2) within the time, notice can be issued under Sec. 147, where it comes to the notice of the assessing officer that the assessee had understated the income or has claimed excessive loss, deduction, allowance or relief in the return.
The present law after June 1, 1999, cannot justify the inference that the assessing officer had applied his mind as regards the correctness or otherwise of the return.
The assessing officer, therefore, can issue notice under Sec. 147, whenever he notices such understatement of taxable income. Jurisdiction is broad in such cases. Even so, there should be information to justify the inference, which he has drawn, of escapement of taxable income.
An audit opinion or a direction by the administrative superiors will not be sufficient, since "the reason to believe" escapement should be that of the assessing officer.
What is the limit of jurisdiction for re-opening a completed assessment?
Where an assessment has already been made, there could be re-assessment proceedings under Sec. 147. If there is concealment of particulars indicating conscious under-statement of income, it is possible to reopen the assessment within the six-year time limit for the past six years.
If the omission had occurred for no fault of the assessee, such reopening may still be possible for four-year time limit.
But where the matter has been considered in the original assessment and the assessee's stand has been accepted by the assessing officer, he cannot review his own decision as it would amount to a change of opinion, which is not permitted even for the four-year time limit.
A widespread belief in the Income-tax Department that there is wider jurisdiction in view of certain amendments from assessment year 1989-90 was found to be mistaken, since the requirement of "reason to believe" continues both prior to and after the amendment even as conceded by a Board Circular No. 549 dated October 31, 1990 (1990) 182 ITR (St.) 1 at 28. This law has been set out by the Supreme Court in CIT v Foramer France (2003) 264 ITR 566 (SC) and reiterated in CIT v Kelvinator of India Ltd. (2010) 321 ITR 561 (SC).
