Cool Jobs: USDA Community Gardener
Tuesday - 9/11/2012, 8:00am EDT
The community garden at the corner of 12th Street and Jefferson Avenue in Washington, D.C., is a visual reminder of the Agriculture Department's mission.
In 2009, USDA employees "took a jackhammer to the road" and, with the help of volunteers, created what would become the flagship garden for the People's Garden Initiative.
The effort was to commemorate the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, who had created the agency, calling it the "people's department."
"The secretary of Agriculture really wanted USDA employees to lead by example and to demonstrate in a very visible and clear way what the Department of Agriculture does, and what better way than to plant a garden?" said Livia Marques, who led the initiative.
The initiative now has more than 1,800 People's Gardens nationwide. To be part of the initiative, a garden must meet three goals: sustainability, community involvement and public service.
"You can declare an existing garden as a People's Garden as long as it incorporates the three components," according to the initiative's website.
Gardens that meet this criteria can sign up online to be recognized as part of the initiative.
Some People's Gardens provide recreational space, while others might harvest fresh food for neighborhood food pantries and banks. Marques said she is probably most proud of the fact that the initiative to date has donated 1.3 million pounds of produce.
The gardens must also be collaborative — created and maintained by a partnership of local residents and organizations. To date, the initiative includes nearly 900 partnerships and more than 60,000 hours volunteered.
"This initiative, for me, is just a wonderful way, a simple way to help people and to empower them ... and really to bring fresh food and fresh produce to low-income neighborhoods," she said.
Marques said her parents instilled in her a desire to help others. "They definitely did that by example, even though a lot of times we didn't have a lot even to share for ourselves," Marques said.
Bringing together employees
Marques previously worked as a horticulturist for USDA. But not all USDA employees who volunteer on the headquarters garden have a background in growing plants.
To work on the USDA garden, volunteers must be certified through the agency's executive master gardener training program (although anyone can volunteer on Tuesdays to help with harvest), said Annie Ceccarini, outreach and education coordinator for the People's Garden Initiative.
The program consists of 16 hours of training courses and an exam before employees can receive their certification and get the official People's Garden T-shirt. Employees must also volunteer at least 32 hours a year, although some volunteers easily volunteer that amount in a month, Ceccarini said.
Some people were skeptical USDA employees would be able to make the time to participate in such a program. But in the first year the training program was offered, 120 volunteers signed up within the first 30 minutes of registration and organizers had to close off the waiting list, Ceccarini said.
"We have administrative assistants, we have lawyers, we have compliance specialists, we have accountants. We don't have anyone who you would look at their title and you'd go, 'Oh, they have a green thumb,'" Ceccarini said.
Employees work in the garden early in the morning before work, after work, during their lunch breaks and even on the weekends, she said.
Because USDA is made up of 17 different agencies, employees who work on the garden often do not know each other before they start volunteering.
Marques attributes the popularity of the initiative to a general interest in gardening.
"Although there's a lot of local efforts to try to bring visibility to gardening and local agriculture ... the initiative gave it a national voice so they could join that, so all of these small efforts have a larger umbrella to be under," she said.
Marques' work on the garden has made her a finalist for a 2012 Service to America Medal. Meet the rest of the finalists.

A long-lost acquaintance of mine got in touch with me a few months back. And I don't know if there is a French name for phone-tag, or playing the game via e-mail, but we finally fixed a date once the long summer of vacations, closures, and hectic schedules of the rentrée (the annual September return to Paris) were all finally behind us.
Laurent, who runs Grom gelato in Paris, suggested we meet up at Noglu, a gluten-free restaurant that recently opened in the lovely Passage des Panoramas. As a performance cyclist, he avoids gluten for a variety of reasons. And as fans of food trucks, we invited Kristin, owner of the hugely popular Le Camion qui fume, the first hamburger truck in Paris, along for lunch as well. Like both of the places where they scoop and grill, respectively, the buzz at Noglu was obviously good because when we arrived, they were turning away a steady flow of walk-ins; the news had evidently traveled fast.

/ National Resources Inventory (NRI)
Loading Tree...
In order for NRCS to accomplish its mission and provide leadership in conservation on our Nation's private lands, it is necessary to periodically assess the status, condition, and trends in soil, water, and other natural resources on these lands. The National Resources Inventory is a statistical survey of land use and natural resource conditions and trends on U.S. non-Federal lands.
NRI is:
A continuous inventory of natural resources on non-Federal lands
Conducted by NRCS in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and some Pacific Basin Locations
A record of trends in the Nation's resources over time
Based on recognized statistical sampling methods and is scientifically designed and executed with assistance from Iowa State University Center for Survey Statistics & Methodology (CSSM)
This inventory captures data on land cover, land use, soil erosion, prime farmland soils, wetlands, habitat diversity, and conservation practices at more than 800,000 sample sites.
The NRI method and data are valuable tools NRCS uses to illustrate the changes in land use, the condition of our natural resources, and how conservation needs will be changing as well. The 1992 NRI was instrumental in providing data on natural resources for the USDA publication, A Geography of Hope.

Alain de Botton:
A kinder, gentler philosophy of success
Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure — and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is success always earned? Is failure? He makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.

The Iowa firm says it has sold 3 1/2 years worth of ammunition magazines in three days, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday.
Brownells President Pete Brownell, in a statement attributed to him on gun owner forum AR15.com, said that level of demand is "unprecedented" and apologized for a backlog in completing orders.
"The demand for magazines actually exceeded the ability for the system to keep up with the volume that was being ordered," he wrote.
"We're working like crazy to get these orders to you as quickly as possible."
The Tribune said several major firearms retailers are being more muted in their response to the Newtown shooting. For example, Cabela's said it would not sell the AR-15 at its Connecticut store and Dick's Sporting Goods said it removed all guns from its Newtown store and suspended sales of modern sporting rifles nationwide.

Everybody's got a story about how smart their dog is but nothing compares with the story out of New Zealand, where professionals who train rescue dogs have taught dogs to drive... just to prove a point.The SPCA in Auckland thought it would be a good way to showcase how smart rescue dogs are and possibly improve their adoption rate too. Animal trainer Mark Vette explains how they did it. At first, they started with lots of indoor training with a fake car, using clicker-reinforced targets to teach the dogs how to shift gears, use a brake and steer. Interestingly enough, the dogs are able to stay focused and free from distractions. (None of them showed any bad habits... like texting or talking on cell phones while...

It didn't take the Arendell Parrott Academy football team long to get the taste of last week's blowout loss out of its mouth.
About 13 seconds, to be exact.
The Patriots used a 73-yard touchdown return from sophomore Davis Basden on the game's opening kickoff to spark a 40-6 victory over Lasker Northeast Academy on homecoming night at Hodges Field Friday.
Basden's electrifying run kick-started a Parrott offense that struggled the week before in a 50-7 loss to defending 8-man champion Southampton, Va.
"We needed a fast start tonight, especially the way we took it on the chin last week," APA coach Matt Beaman said. "I told the team we needed to start fast and to keep pouring it on."
The Patriots (4-1) listened well to their coach. The APA offense roared into action following Basden's return, scoring on its first three series — finishing with a Chase Howard 24-yard TD run, a 10-yard TD pass from Jack Huddle to Devin Cregan and a 31-yard TD pass from Howard to Caleb Quinn — to take a 26-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
"Momentum is a big thing to high school kids," Beaman said. "We knew that coming in and punching them in the mouth early was going to be key. The guys executed our game plan to a T, and we did what we had to do."
Huddle had a hand in the final two APA scores of the game: a 20-yard TD pass to Cregan with 1:42 remaining before halftime and a 1-yard TD plunge less than two minutes into the second half to wrap up the scoring.
Huddle, a junior quarterback, said his squad learned some lessons from the Southampton loss.
"We took a hard loss last week and it was tough," he said. "We are a physical team; we have a bunch of boys that like to play hard. There are a lot of leaders on this team."
The Patriots finished with 292 yards of offense, including 113 through the air on six completions and two TDs from Huddle. Howard led all Parrott rushers with 70 yards on 11 carries.
Northeast (2-3) ended up with 240 yards of offense and was led by sophomore running back Trey Futrell, who carried the ball eight times for 79 yards and had one catch for 15 more. The Eagles' lone score came with 2:36 left in the second quarter when Christian Fleetwood connected on a 14-yard pass to Connor Hurdle.
The road to the 8-man playoffs continues for the Patriots next week when they travel to Cary Christian. APA is 3-3 all-time against the Knights, although Cary has won the last two in the series, including a 35-34 nail-biter last year in Kinston.
"Coming into this year, I really didn't know what we were going to have, but at this point, I'll be disappointed if we're not a top-four seed in the playoffs," Beaman said. "Hobgood (on Oct. 25) and Rocky Mount (on Oct. 11) are going to be really tough games because they're good teams. But Cary and Halifax (on Oct. 18) are going to be the games that can put us in that four-spot.
"Cary is going to be a tough game, too, because they're really physical. It's going to be a very important game for us."

Unions, watchdog groups renew call for capping 'exorbitant' contractor salaries
Thursday - 10/18/2012, 6:05pm EDT
A collection of federal unions and watchdogs groups wrote to the House and Senate Armed Services Committee urging support for a law capping taxpayer-funded contracting compensation costs at $230,700. That is the maximum salary earned by the highest-paid federal employees.
Contractor salaries are now capped at $763,029, per a 1998 law that sets annual compensation benchmarks.
"With budget cuts and sequestration looming, it is fiscally irresponsible to allow private contractors to charge escalating and exorbitant rates to the government," the groups' letter stated. Under the current formula, the increase in compensation costs paid to contractors has grown 53 percent faster than inflation, the groups said.
Limiting taxpayer-funded compensation to about $230,000 would save at least $5 billion a year, according to the letter. Signers included the American Federal of Government Employees, the National Treasury Employees Union and the Project on Government Oversight.
"Private firms are of course free to pay their employees whatever they deem that they are worth," the letter stated, but the amounts charged to the government as allowable costs should be lowered, the groups said.
Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Carl Levin (D-Mich), has included a similar provision in the version of the 2013 Defense Authorization Act he introduced last summer.
Industry says pay cap would make contractors uncompetitive
Contractors have long maintained that their compensation rates track with salaries in the broader private sector and that limiting them would make it more difficult to attract talent.
Trey Hodgkins, the senior vice president of the IT industry group TechAmerica, said he supports maintaining the current compensation formula.
"TechAmerica represents a wide variety of companies delivering sophisticated technology solutions across a wide variety of missions in the federal government," he said in a emailed statement. "Government contractor compensation for these skills and services must be able to compete with the demand and compensation for the same pool of talent in the private sector."
But in their letter, the groups said they didn't believe the $230,000 limit would make it more difficult to keep a talented workforce, pointing to David Wineland, a National Institute of Standards and Technology employee, who recently won a Nobel Prize in physics.
The letter also pointed out the current compensation rate allows contracting executives to earn more than the President ($400,000), the defense secretary ($200,000) and members of the Senate ($174,000).
In a statement provided to Federal News Radio, the Professional Services Council, which represents many government contractors, said pay-cap proposals would only serve to drive away contractors doing vital work.
"The reality is that this proposed limitation would deprive the government of access to critical skills, such as those currently in high demand to defend government networks from cyber intrusions," according to PSC's statement. "Existing limitations on compensation for federal employees are already hindering the government's ability to recruit and retain highly skilled professionals."
This is at least the second year in a row that a contractor pay cap has been included in the Senate's defense policy bill. Last year, an amendment sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Kan.) would have capped salaries at $400,000. However, the House stripped that measure out in the final version of the bill that passed.
In March, Boxer and Grassley reintroduced their pay cap as a stand-alone measure, but it remains stuck in committee.

what!?!?!?! Corbin hasn't done anything subtle to the offense?!?!?!?! We don't have an identity!?!?!?!
what!?!?!?! Corbin hasn't done anything subtle to the offense?!?!?!?! We don't have an identity!?!?!?!
___#! Rudy Fan___

We really need to bring back Sloan and Johnson.
Corbin sucks.
Lakers Suck.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson
Warning: this post occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
Stolen with love from the XKCD comic.
Corbin just does not seem to have any vision of what he wants or how to get it. He throws guys out there, runs the old offense, and hopes that Stock-Malone-Horny materialize.
If Corbin really wants to improve defensively then PROVE it! Put your best defenders in the game at every position. What is the worst that can happen, the Jazz lose?
I keep hearing the same thing that the defense needs tom improve. Meanwhile Jefferson and Foye are getting their time and then I hear the "we need scoring" argument. Create a culture then help others to improve. If it is defense first then prove it. If it is really offense first then that is fine but don't keep saying that the defense needs to improve when Marvin and Favors are getting the short stick when it comes to minutes. Last night Marvin got 30 minutes despite the amazing job that he was doing on Gay and Favors only got 26 minutes. Both should be above 30 minutes a night.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
BTW, when the Jazz beat the Lakers on Wednesday all will be forgotten, at least it will momentarily.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
On a more serious note, I'm not just talking about Ty. Yes, he takes most of that for being the head coach but I am also talking about the media personnel who seem to be kissing butt rather than just doing their job. I have to admit, the last couple of years that people have complained about this I didn't really care but for some reason this year it really bothers me.
Cy is a Baker, he doesn't work fast food. Don't make that mistake, he doesn't like it.
Corbin isn't an offense-minded guy. That's obvious. Basic wrinkles in the O aren't there. This could be made up for if he'd commit to D, which, apparently, he won't do full-on. Sports aren't for Buddhists... the middle path isn't a sign of wisdom.

Ware, MA (November 19, 2012) - Winter is quickly approaching and along with it come the changes in weather, temperature and the amount of light during the day, all which can have physical and psychological effects on your body that can also impact your overall health.
"Being confined indoors with others increases our exposure to colds and the flu, and traveling exposes us to new viruses," said Dr. Muhammad Gul, Medical Director of BMP-Quabbin Adult Medicine. "Hand washing is the most effective way to ward off the spread of most viral diseases. Carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with you for times when you can't wash your hands."
In addition, Dr. Gul offers the following winter health tips:
Get a flu Shot. Everyone, 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine each year.
New flu vaccines are released every year to keep up with rapidly adapting flu viruses. Because flu viruses evolve so quickly, last year's vaccine may not protect you from this year's viruses.
Eat healthy. When it's cold and dark outside it can be tempting to fill up on unhealthy comfort food, but it's important that you still keep your diet healthy by including five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. If you find yourself craving a sugary treat, try a juicy clementine or sweet dried fruits such as dates or raisins.
Drink up. You have probably heard how important it is to drink plenty of fluids when you are ill, but it's just as important for preventing illness. Adequate hydration keeps the tissues of the respiratory system moist, which prevents microbes from settling in. Hydration also helps the immune system work properly. Opt for water.
Exercise. Exercise is an essential part of any healthy lifestyle, whatever the season. Regular exercise has been proven to boost your immune system and make you feel more energetic. Exercise increases the production of endorphins, a hormone that gives you a natural sense of well-being. It also reduces the production of stress hormones such as cortisol. A recent study showed that men with higher levels of activity experienced a 35% reduction in number of colds and women had 20% fewer colds.
Get enough sleep. This is vital; lack of sleep can contribute to health problems such as high blood pressure, weight gain, and a decrease in your immune system's power to
fight off illness. See your primary care provider especially if you have trouble sleeping more than three nights a week. Your sleep issues could be caused by an underlying health problem.
Don't smoke. Studies show that smokers have more frequent and severe colds. Secondhand smoke also makes people more susceptible to respiratory illnesses. Talk to your primary care provider if you smoke, to help you quit. Get the support of friends and family to help you succeed.
Limit Stress. Don't allow yourself to become overwhelmed by a flurry of holiday activities. Pick a few favorite holiday activities, really enjoy them, and skip the rest. Decide which traditions are most important to you and eliminate other activities that leave you feeling exhausted.
Winter Blues. During the holidays, generally defined as the period from Thanksgiving through New Years, we're expected to be filled with joy, cheer and love 24 hours a day. In reality, the holidays can be, and frequently are, a difficult time for many. Try to recall what you're grateful for and remember that our lives consist of more than the months between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve but throughout the whole year.
"If you find yourself feeling persistently sad, anxious, or you have a health concerns, talk to your healthcare provider," said Dr. Gul. "What may just seem like annoying symptoms to you could be cause of a more serious health concern down the road."
Preventive medicine is a key component to maintaining a healthy lifestyle regardless of the time of year. Developing an ongoing relationship with your healthcare provider who knows you and your medical history leads to a better overall outcome and lower costs. Providers at Baystate Medical Practices – Quabbin Adult Medicine include Dr. Muhammad Gul, Dr. Mario Lysse, Dr. Ronald Beauzile, Dr Anuja Garg, and Nurse Practitioners, Suzanne Dabakis Choquette, FNP and Rosario Nelson, FNP. The practice is presently accepting new patients at both locations; to make an appointment at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware call 413-967-2343 or at 95 Sargent Street in Belchertown call 413-323-7212.

Slow Start in First Half Costs Men's Basketball in 67-51 Loss at #22 King
January 12, 2013
BRISTOL, T.N. - Host and 22nd-ranked King College held Pfeiffer University to just 12 first half points en route to claiming a 67-51 victory in Conference Carolinas men's basketball action on Saturday night. The win pushes the Tornado to 11-2 overall, 6-1 in league play while the Falcons drop to 3-9, 1-5.
Logan Lyle made a pair of early threes before a couple of Tayron Gibson free throws got the Falcons on the board. From there, King opened up the contest bolting out on a 21-4 run as a three-point play by Drew Standifer put the hosts up 27-6. Matt Ellwood would connect on Pfeiffer's first made shot from the field hitting a three at the 8:58 mark of the first half. AJ Clark, Kenny Tappin and Josh Humphrey would have the other made baskets in a slow first half for the Falcons.
Gibson would score six-straight points early in the second half trying to rally the Falcons. Gibson would help slice the King lead down to 59-42 with two more free throws at the 6:56 mark of the second. Humphrey and Clark would help keep the deficit under 20 throughout the remainder of the contest, but the Falcons would eventually run out of time trying to dig themselves out of the first half hole. Pfeiffer would outscore King 39-24 over the final 20 minutes.
Jason Seymore led the Tornado with 16 points as one of three scorers in double-figures while Humphrey and Gibson paced the Falcons with 18 and 15 respectively.
Pfeiffer will now return home to the Merner Gym on Wednesday to host Mount Olive while entertaining North Greenville on Saturday. Tip off against the Trojans on Wednesday is 7:30 p.m. with live stats/video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Feature Lights
An area of outdoor lighting that is completely self-explanatory in terms of its title. Outdoor decorative lights are designed to embellish your garden, or exterior space, and whilst they may also incidentally be functional their main job is to stand or lie there and look pretty!
Take globe lights, for example. They shed useful, diffuse light in a garden but they also create memorable atmosphere with their looks. They appear as small echoes of the moon, and you might very well find them soothing.
Exterior floor lamps are also increasingly common as our gardens become more and more accessible by night. These look just like your average shaded indoor floor lamp, except they carry a high Ingress Protection rating to signify their weatherproofing and they have heavier stands - often concrete. Some might be spiked so you can embed them into the ground. They look great on patios or areas of decking.
You might encounter LED planters among our range, which can be used to light a path as well as rather attractively showing off your potted plants. Other light forms such as LED rope lights and strips are incredibly flexible in their application - wrap them around trees, columns, handrails, trellises, or just about anywhere you can think of to add interest to your garden! They can be used to effectively highlight pathways, too.
If you happen to be reading this in December you'll usually find among the Lyco stock a variety of seasonal Christmas lights, which might be appropriately shaped as stars, or snowflakes, or perhaps you'll opt for multi-coloured fairy lights? Ideally you'll also have a 30ft conifer in your garden too, but not to worry if you haven't - any old deciduous tree will also look very Christmassy if you light it effectively!
For inspiration on how to get the best out of the products in the range why not take a look out our Creating Great Outdoor Feature Lighting feature.

Our hiatus is over, and we cheerfully bring you the next installation of our TechTuesday blog post, "Making the Right Connections." At our last offering, we highlighted the contributions of Dr. George Strawn, former CIO for the National Science Foundation (NSF) – now on a special assignment as Director of the Executive Office of the President's Networking and Information Technology Research & Development (NITRD) Program. In our follow up interview with Dr. Strawn in December, we focused on his main charge to lead a NITRD initiative to move government information into the clouds. And at a special event this Valentine's week, we celebrate another anniversary that includes Dr. Strawn, so keep reading!

Opens with a red pepper note that is pretty in your face. I didn't like it upon the first applications to a piece of paper, however after the dry down this fragrance smells amazing. Smells like you've been in a coffee shop all day, coincidentally that's what some youtube reviewer's have compared this to: Pure Coffee by Thierry Mugler but less bitter. I haven't tried that one but this one is a keeper and I'll be getting a backup just in case this gets discontinued. On my skin it lasted 11 hours, and the projection is amazing, easily noticeable 8-10 ft away.

Another awe-some A*Men fragrance. Such a unique smell and presents itself like no other gourmand on the market. This is a true A*men flanker and ranks right up there with Pure Malt, Havane and Leather. I think it's really a treat to the senses.

If you are looking for the world's best tritium sights and Fiber Optic Sights, you don't need to look any further. We carry the widest selection of quality tritium night sights and fiber optic daytime sights from industry leaders like Trijicon, Meprolight, Ameriglo, Hiviz and TruGlo.
Tritium sights and fiber optic sights give you two distinct tools for enhancing your aiming capabilities. Night sights are, as the name implies, visible at night without a battery or power source required. Tritium night sights are self-illuminating, drawing on a tiny amount of glowing tritium gas to provide a glowing dot that you can see in low light or darkness. The tritium light source will last for many years before it needs to be replaced.
By contrast, fiber optic sights are made for use in daylight. The fiber optic strands collect ambient light and concentrate it to enhance the visibility of your aiming dot. Fiber Optic Sights are daytime sights which require some amount of natural daylight to operate - but require no power source and will never run out of juice!
We offer a variety of night sights on sale to choose from, for any application and at every price point. All tritium night sights we sell come with full manufacturer's warranty and Free Shipping on orders over $49.

Corrections officer's killing wasn't planned, defense argues
Dan Bates / The Herald
Defense attorney Jon Scott shows the cord that was used to kill Monroe corrections officer Jayme Biendl.
Byron Scherf is accused of planning to kill Biendl in the chapel at the reformatory on Jan. 29, 2011.

As attorneys confer (extreme foreground) at the first break in his murder trial, Byron Scherf (left) is escorted out of the Snohomish County courtroom.
Dan Bates / The Herald
During opening statements Wednesday morning in Everett, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern describes the nature and location of wounds inflicted on Monroe corrections officer Jayme Biendl.
Dan Bates / The Herald
During his opening statements, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern displays a large aerial photograph of the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe.
Each day she stood watch over hundreds of men whose freedom was forfeited. Like her fellow corrections officers, her job was to keep the inmates safe and also to keep them behind the walls to protect the community.
"For every person who is there it's fair to assume they share one daily wish," Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern said.
At the end of the day, they all just want to be able to come home.
Jayme Biendl was no different, he said.
"On Jan. 29, 2011, she didn't get to go home because of that man -- Byron Eugene Scherf," Stern said.
The veteran deputy prosecutor spent nearly an hour on Wednesday outlining the case against Scherf, the inmate accused of strangling Biendl, 34, inside the chapel at the Washington State Reformatory in Monroe.
Prosecutors allege that Scherf, 54, planned to kill the Granite Falls woman, taking multiple steps to guarantee that he would be alone with her in one of the few places in the prison without any surveillance cameras.
The convicted rapist was serving a life sentence at the time of the killing. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
After being sworn in by Superior Court Judge George Appel, the jury heard opening statements. The trial is expected to last weeks.
If Scherf is convicted of aggravated murder, jurors then will be asked to decide whether prosecutors proved that there aren't any reasons to show him mercy.
Biendl's parents and siblings sat shoulder-to-shoulder on courtroom benches Wednesday morning -- more than two years after learning she wasn't coming home again. They have told prosecutors they want Scherf executed.
On Wednesday, Scherf's defense attorney Jon Scott did not dispute that his client killed Biendl. Scherf confessed to police in the days after Biendl was found with an amplifier cord wrapped around her neck. Jurors are expected to see the videotaped interviews.
Scott, however, briefly touched on a possible defense strategy -- challenging the prosecution's assertion that Scherf planned to kill Biendl.
In his opening statement, Scott showed jurors the cord and photographs of Biendl's bruised neck. He read excerpts from Scherf's interviews with detectives, as the inmate attempted to explain what he said happened inside the chapel sanctuary.
Scherf claimed Biendl made a comment about his wife. He became angry, feeling a rage over what, Scherf said, was a culmination of offenses he had suffered over decades locked behind bars.
"'That was the straw that broke the camel's back,'" Scott said, quoting Scherf.
The defendant remembered the struggle and pulling the cord around her neck.
"He blacked out, disassociated. He came to sitting on a pew in the sanctuary," Scott said. "He was a little bewildered."
Using the inmate's own words, Scott told jurors that Scherf couldn't explain to detectives what happened. Scherf said it was a surreal experience. In those moments after he realized Biendl wasn't breathing, the defendant struggled to make sense of what happened, Scott said.
The Everett defense attorney outlined in some detail the evidence he expects to be offered by the medical examiner. For example, Biendl likely was rendered unconscious because the cord around her neck quickly cut off the flow of oxygenated blood to her brain. At the same time, the ligature, while tightly wrapped, didn't crush her airway, Scott said.
He suggested that the speed of Biendl's death and the lesser amount of force used gives jurors a reason to wonder whether the facts support premeditated murder.
"The evidence will show that he did this because he was enraged," losing control, Scott said.
To convict Scherf of aggravated murder, the jury will have to find that he formed the intent to kill the corrections officer.
Prosecutors told jurors that Scherf admitted to contemplating the homicide for up to 20 minutes. He lagged behind the other inmates as they were leaving the chapel for the night, Stern said. He stashed his coat and hat, giving him an excuse to return. He left the building, shut the front gate and walked the 37 feet back to the chapel, where Biendl was inside locking up, Stern said. He entered the sanctuary, walking another 87 feet to the front of the room. He ripped the communications radio from Biendl. He knew there were no cameras in the sanctuary, Stern said.
"He decided he was going to kill her and he decided he was going to kill her with his own hands," he said.
At the time Scherf outweighed Biendl by 100 pounds. He was big and he was strong, Stern said. The prosecutor held up Biendl's duty belt, the circumference illustrating the woman's petite stature.
Even so, Biendl fought for her life, biting and kicking, jurors were told.
Scherf grabbed an amplifier cord left on the stage. Evidence indicates even as she was being strangled, Biendl fought, Stern said.
"She didn't want to die," he said.
And Scherf later told detectives that Biendl didn't deserve to die. Jurors were told that he wrote a letter saying he would plead guilty to aggravated murder to give her family swift justice.
In another letter he sent the The Daily Herald months later, he wrote that his decision to fight prosecution and punishment was over being denied snacks and other jail privileges he believed sheriff's detectives had promised him.
The deputy prosecutor questioned whether Scherf, in offering a confession, showed remorse or enjoyed reliving the killing.
Scott, however, told jurors that Scherf felt remorse. Scherf is a religious man; he offered his confession after he studied scripture. Scherf told authorities he deserved to die because he had taken another life.
Scott repeated the phrase, quoting Scherf, "If you take someone's life, your life should be taken," at least four times in as many variations. The jury, who must decide his client's fate, is made up of five women and seven men.
Testimony on Wednesday included the accounts of more than a half dozen corrections officers on duty the night Biendl was killed. Jurors were introduced to prison practices and given a photographic tour of the reformatory.
Several corrections officers also explained their interactions with Scherf that night. They told jurors they had no inkling that something violent had happened, judging by Scherf's behavior after he was found in the chapel and taken into custody.
They also said he gave conflicting accounts of how he ended up with drops of blood on his shirt and his jacket.
Scherf even offered a thin smile in a photo that was taken shortly after the killing.
His behavior began to change after he was brought to a holding cell in a segregated intensive management unit.
One officer said Scherf's hands shook and he seemed "trembly."
Corrections officer Michael Adams was assigned to watch Scherf.
He said Scherf's middle finger was bleeding and that he requested a tissue. The prisoner then asked for a tetanus shot, telling Adams, "You never know what you can catch from being bitten."
Scherf stood for a while, then began to pace before sitting down on a bench and asking for a bible, Adams said.
After a while, he sat down on the cell floor. That's when Adams heard Scherf say something.
"He said that he shouldn't have done this," Adams said.
