Capital punishment in Utah
Capital punishment is legal in the U.S. state of Utah. Aggravated murder is the only crime subject to the penalty of death under Utah law. Lethal injection is the state's method of choice; however, the firing squad is also available in certain circumstances. As of May 8, 2011, nine people are under a sentence of death in the state.[1] Since 1850, 51 individuals have been executed in Utah. It was the first state to resume executions after the 1967-1976 national moratorium on capital punishment.
History and current practices[edit]
The Spring 1850 garroting of Patsowits, a Ute, was the first recorded execution in the provisional State of Deseret.[2] Utah Territory was established in September 1850, and it permitted condemned prisoners to choose between hanging and firing squad. In 1851 beheading was introduced as a third execution option.[3] No prisoner chose this method and the option was eliminated in 1888.[4] In 1955, Utah state lawmakers voted to introduce the electric chair; however, the state never used electrocution due to failure to provide appropriation.[5] Forty-four executions occurred in the State of Utah and Utah Territory before the national moratorium in 1967;[6] six were by hanging and 38 were by firing squad.[7] The last pre-moratorium execution in Utah took place on March 30, 1960.
In 1967 when the moratorium went into effect, Utah was the only remaining state to allow death row inmates to choose between firing squad and hanging.[5][8] Utah attempted to reintroduce death penalty statutes during the moratorium but they were struck down by the 1972 United States Supreme Court decision in the case Furman v. Georgia.[9] The state formally reinstated capital punishment on January 7, 1973[10] and the new death penalty statutes were approved by the United States Supreme Court with the reinstatement of capital punishment in 1976. The reinstatement allowed Utah to move forward with the death sentences of Dale Selby Pierre and William Andrews for crimes committed in 1974 prior to the reinstatement of capital punishment. (They were later executed in 1987 and 1992, respectively.) On January 17, 1977, Utah became the first state to execute a prisoner after the moratorium ended: Gary Gilmore was executed by a firing squad,[11] having selected that method over hanging. In 1958 twenty-one-year-old Barton Kay Kirkham became the last prisoner to be hanged by the state of Utah.[12] Lethal injection was introduced in 1980[13] and in February of that year the Utah State Legislature replaced the option of hanging with the option of lethal injection.[14]
The first bill proposing to eliminate the firing squad option was introduced in the Utah House of Representatives in January 1996.[15] In 2004, the legislature passed HB180, which removed the right of the condemned to choose the method of execution and left lethal injection as the only remaining option in the state.[16][17] The abolition of the firing squad was not retroactive; three inmates on death row at Utah State Prison who chose this method of execution before the end of February 2004 will be executed by firing squad under a grandfather clause.[17] Utah's most recent execution, that of 49-year-old Ronnie Lee Gardner on June 18, 2010, was the state's third execution by firing squad since the capital punishment moratorium was lifted, and the country's first sanctioned shooting in 14 years.[16] Legislation signed by Gov. Gary Herbert in March 2015 restores the firing squad as a legal method of execution, requiring its use if the state is unable to obtain the necessary lethal injection drugs within 30 days of a scheduled execution.[18][19]
Utah is the only state besides Nevada to have ever used the firing squad, although executions of this type are authorized in Oklahoma for prisoners who successfully challenge the constitutionality of lethal injection and electrocution.
Executions in Utah are currently performed at the Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah.[20] Because the ethics standards of the American Medical Association forbid physician involvement in executions, other healthcare professionals including paramedics and nurses perform executions in Utah.[21] Paramedics and nurses, however, are also forbidden from participation in executions by their own professional organizations' ethics codes.[22][23][24] The prison protects the anonymity of professionals involved in executions, making it impossible for professional organizations to impose sanctions.[25]
Conviction and sentencing process[edit]
Convicts who were under 18 at the time of commission of the crime[26] and convicts who are mentally retarded[27] are protected from the death penalty in Utah, as they are in all states, under federal law. Defendants in capital cases in the state of Utah may choose either a jury trial or a bench trial in which the judge alone decides the verdict and sentence. John Albert Taylor is the only Utah defendant to waive his jury right. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1989 by 2nd District Court Judge David Roth in Weber County. Clemency rests with the State of Utah Board of Pardons and Parole, of which the Governor of Utah is a member, making Utah one of a handful of states where the Governor does not have the sole power to grant clemency.[28] As of 2008[update] no commutation of the death sentence has been given in Utah.[28]
Definition of aggravated murder[edit]
Under Utah law, aggravated murder is the only crime subject to the penalty of death. It is defined as follows:[29]
- The murder was especially heinous, atrocious, cruel or depraved (or involved torture).
- The murder was committed incident to a hijacking.
- The defendant knowingly created a grave risk of death for one or more persons in addition to the victim of the offense.
- The defendant committed or attempted to commit more than one murder at the same time.
- The murder was committed by means of poison or a lethal substance.
- The murder was committed for pecuniary gain or pursuant to an agreement that the defendant would receive something of value.
- The defendant caused or directed another to commit murder, or the defendant procured the commission of the offense by payment, promise of payment, or anything of pecuniary value.
- The murder was committed to avoid or prevent arrest, to effect an escape, or to conceal the commission of a crime.
- The capital offense was committed to interfere with the lawful exercise of any government function or the enforcement of the laws.
- The defendant has been convicted of, or committed, a prior murder, a felony involving violence, or other serious felony.
- The capital offense was committed by a person who is incarcerated, has escaped, is on probation, is in jail, or is under a sentence of imprisonment. The actor was under a sentence of life imprisonment or a sentence of death at the time of the homicide.
- The victim is or has been a local, state, or federal public official, or a candidate for public office, and the homicide is based on, is caused by, or is related to that official position, act, capacity, or candidacy.
- The murder was committed against a person held as a shield, as a hostage, or for ransom.
- The murder was committed against a witness in a criminal proceeding to prevent the witness from appearing, or for revenge.
- The homicide was committed while the actor was engaged in, or attempted to, or flight from committed or attempted child abuse.
- The defendant was involved in the desecration of a dead human body or dismembering, mutilation, or disfiguring of the victim's body, either before or after death, in a manner demonstrating the actor's depravity of mind. The homicide was committed incident to the abuse or desecration of a dead body.
- The murder was committed by means of any weapon of mass destruction.

For $99, diners can look forward to an eight-course meal with uncultivated delicacies such as escargot (I have come to consider myself a instinctual gourmand after listening to my parents' horrified accounts of my predilection for plucking snails off the backyard walk and gnashing them up into foamy bits as a toddler), nettle soup with Cowgirl Creamery crème fraiche, slow roasted wild boar porchetta, acorn bread with candy cap mushroom ice cream, and more bounties from the Bay Area wilderness.

"In California, forestry is the only sector that has a positive effect on air quality," says Sierra Pacific Industries
By Jobert Poblete
The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), an environmental group with offices in San Francisco, filed a series of lawsuits last month challenging the state's approval of 15 logging plans it says do not adequately address greenhouse gas emissions and climate impacts. But the loggers take the opposite stance, arguing that their trees capture carbon and lessen global warming.Read more »
Is the local business tax exemption for this thriving industry worth the cost?

It's difficult to measure the value a biotechnology company receives from locating in San Francisco. Most measures are qualitative: scientists talk about synergy with other biotech companies in the area, the intellectual community that thrives at the University of California-San Francisco, and support offered at the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3).Read more »

Music and fashion are often so intrinsically connected, it's hard to tell where one starts and the other stops. Which came first? Fall Out Boy or the emo haircut? So it should be no surprise that the impeccable taste that Bianca Starr brought to operating the former nightlife wonderland Club 222, now techno hotspot 222 Hyde, also carries over into the world of clothing with her new vintage boutique. The concept is providing carefully edited and cleaned pieces that appeal to Bianca herself (the store motto is "If we wouldn't wear it, we wouldn't sell it"), all in a fun, collaborative, friendly setting that includes rotating DJs playing every weekend.
Here is our monthly installment of Joseph E. Stiglitz's Unconventional Economic Wisdom column from the Project Syndicate news series. Stiglitz is University Professor at Columbia University and the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics. His new book is Freefall.
NEW YORK – Defeat in the Massachusetts senatorial election has deprived America's Democrats of the 60 votes needed to pass health-care reform and other legislation, and it has changed American politics – at least for the moment. But what does that vote say about American voters and the economy?
It does not herald a shift to the right, as some pundits suggest. Rather, the message it sends is the same as that sent by voters to President Bill Clinton 17 years ago: "It's the economy, stupid!" and "Jobs, jobs, jobs." Indeed, on the other side of the United States from Massachusetts, voters in Oregon passed a referendum supporting a tax increase.
The US economy is in a mess – even if growth has resumed, and bankers are once again receiving huge bonuses. More than one out of six Americans who would like a full-time job cannot get one; and 40% of the unemployed have been out of a job for more than six months.
As Europe learned long ago, hardship increases with the length of unemployment, as job skills and prospects deteriorate and savings gets wiped out. The 2.5-3.5 million foreclosures expected this year will exceed those of 2009, and the year began with what is expected to be the first of many large commercial real-estate bankruptcies. Even the Congressional Budget Office is predicting that it will be the middle of the decade before unemployment returns to more normal levels, as America experiences its own version of "Japanese malaise."

We just received a press release announcing the debut album of Evelyn Evelyn, "the world's only conjoined-twin singer-songwriter duo." The twins are apparently the discovery, or, if our doubts are correct, the brainchild, of Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) and Jason Webley (accordionist extraordinaire). The press release contains a suspect biography of the purported 25-year-old twins, Lyn and Eva, born in Kansas, orphaned at birth, and eventually rescued from toiling in the circus by Palmer and Webley. Totally plausible.Read more »

Take your courses with you and learn anywhere, anytime.
Learn and practice real-world skills and achieve your goals.
This course is a deep-dive into hiring a VA (virtual assistant) for your startup/software company. It answers every question I've been asked about hiring a VA. I've hired more than 20 remote workers over the past 6 years.
The course is broken up into 4 parts:
Part 1: Why a VA?
What is a VA and why would a startup founder want to hire one?
What kind of tasks can they help with?
Isn't it faster to do things yourself (and be sure they get done correctly)?
Part 2: All Your Questions Answered
Can you hire a VA part-time?
Should you hire part-time or full-time?
Are they paid hourly or do you have to buy a block of hours?
Are there long-term commitments?
What are the pros and cons of hiring someone domestic vs. international?
Should you hire a firm or an individual?
How do you keep a VA from making off with sensitive data, code, passwords, etc...?
Part 3: Hiring Your VA
Where do you find good VAs?
What does your 4-step hiring process look like?
Job listing
Profile filter
Q&A filter
Task filter
Part 4: Working with Your VA
How can you ensure you aren't being over-billed?
How do you send passwords and other sensitive data to your VAs?
What are the best types of jobs to delegate to a VA?
The course consists of:
Not for you? No problem.
30 day money back guarantee.
Forever yours.
Lifetime access.
Learn on the go.
Desktop, iOS and Android.
Get rewarded.
Certificate of completion.

Hours of video content
Course Enrollments
Lots of great information packed neatly into an hour of excellent video.
PRO: Hit most high points of the topic at the right depth. Instructor is very competent. Good value for the (discounted) price.
CON: Instructor's voice goes loud and soft. Both guys need more personality. Heavy emphasis on oDesk to the exclusion of other platforms. And the udemy platform is not easy to navigate (took me 10 mins to find the downloadable resources.)
It was so basic, I think it made me forget some of what I already knew about hiring a VA. Seriously... If you've never heard of a Virtual Assistant or you can't spell "VA", maybe this course is for you. Otherwise, pass.
I have worked with VAs in the past with mixed success. This course gives a nice overview of the process and provides detail where it is most helpful. The interview style was a nice way to present the information. I picked up some great tips for the next time I hire a VA.
Rob gives a very realistic explanation of what to expect, unlike many people who tout the idea of hiring a VA to do everything under the sun for just a few bucks an hour. He goes into specific details about how and when to hire, and crucially, how to manage your VA effectively.
I've recently hired someone as an apprentice, and although the position is different from hiring a VA, I found this content to be highly relevant. What I found particularly useful were the specific details, such as the discussions about sending passwords securely and screencasting tools and techniques.
There's a wealth of information here, and I highly recommend it.
Although this is not a real course, but more a Q&A interview it gives great value and insights in hiring and working with VA's. Rob also gives some nice actionables and steps to follow.
But the main thing is, just hire your first VA and get some experience with it!

SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) last week presented awards to the local child support agencies that met or exceeded performance goals during federal fiscal year 2013, including El Dorado County.
"I congratulate each and every one of you for your deep commitment to putting children first," said Kathleen Hrepich, interim director of DCSS, during the awards ceremony. "I am especially proud of the remarkable accomplishments of agencies we are here to honor today."
Hrepich presented the special Director's Excellence Award to two local child support agencies: the Marin County Department of Child Support Services and the Monterey County Department of Child Support Services. For this award, recipient agencies exceeded all federal performance measures and met the state's measure of increasing total distributed collections by 3 percent or more over the previous year.
The Top Ten Award for top overall performance in the five federal performance measures went to San Luis Obispo, Marin, Plumas, Sonoma, Ventura, El Dorado, Glenn and Lassen counties, as well as the Central Sierra region and the Sierra Nevada region. The Central Sierra Department of Child Support Services is made up of Alpine, Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties.
Three agencies earned the Director's Challenge Award, by meeting the challenge to increase distributed collections by five percent or more during the prior year. Those were the agencies serving Trinity, Plumas and Marin counties.
The DCSS and the 51 local child support agencies operate the second-largest child support system in the nation with 1.3 million cases in the California Child Support Program. In fiscal year 2013, California's child support program collected and distributed more than $2.3 billion in child support payments.

Customer Accounts - Other Types of Accounts
Other ownership arrangements include:
- Partnership,Corporations or Unincorporated Associations: A brokerage account can be considered community property or the property of a sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation or unincorporated associations.
- Investment clubs, groups that pool their money to open a brokerage account, are usually organized as partnerships.
- For corporate accounts, a copy of the corporation charter must be on file with the broker-dealer to ensure that the entity is authorized to invest through brokerage accounts. It is especially important to make sure that a corporation can engage in margin trading if it has applied for a margin account.
- Investment clubs, groups that pool their money to open a brokerage account, are usually organized as partnerships.
- Specific Purpose Accounts: An account could also be held for a specific purpose - saving for college, for example - as in the case of a trust, fiduciary or UGMA/UTMA custody. Custodial accounts must always be cash accounts, meaning that neither option trading nor short selling - which will be discussed soon - are permitted.
- These kinds of accounts are often managed by an investment advisor with documented power of attorney, a legal instrument that delegates legal authority from the investor to the advisor.
- This empowers the advisor to make property, financial and other legal decisions for the client - but typically just financial decisions in the case of someone retained strictly to provide professional investment advice.
- The agent who holds power of attorney is said to have discretionary authority over the account, meaning she need not seek the client's signature before taking or liquidating a position. A registered representative does not need to have power of attorney to have discretionary authority, but she does need written authorization from both her supervisor and the client before exercising it.
- These kinds of accounts are often managed by an investment advisor with documented power of attorney, a legal instrument that delegates legal authority from the investor to the advisor.

Salvation - Post Sovereign AU Commission by efleckWatch
©2013-2016 efleck
A commission for lady-halibuts-convos on tumblr. Alternate universe, Nihlus and Saren survive Sovereigns attack, after which an injured Saren is taken into custody.
11x14 charcoal.
11x14 charcoal.
Your charcoal work is outstanding. It's official - you have a new fan! (and of course, we all love Turians!)
Wow! Love the detail.
Is the person who commissioned this writing a story? Because I want to see what happens to Saren and Nihlus next(Saren especially). Great work, anyway.
Amazing as always! Your work always such an incredible sense of story and depth...not to mention an abundance of talent. I kove the juxtaposition between the war-ravaged landscape and the tenderness between Nihlus and Saren.
Awww, Nihlus and Saren. Those Saren and Nihlus feelings, yessir. Is there one of those cutesy mashup couple names for them when we refer to them in a couples kind of way? Naren? Sihlus? Kryterius? Actually damn that last one's badass I need to make that a thing.
Also as ever this is lovely. I will never get over those itty bitty charcoal details. Saren's cheek fringe, aw man!
Also as ever this is lovely. I will never get over those itty bitty charcoal details. Saren's cheek fringe, aw man!
That should have happened .. well, more or less anyway.
Never disappoint. Very talented! Great work
You never cease to amaze me with your awesome talent .
So awesome!
Very very beautiful! Il love black and white works!
Wow I love all he details everywhere. Soo crazy. I don't know why, but I've always loved turian legs, so those legs look very cool when they're all bent. Legs and the head bump is a nice touch.
Oh this is beautiful! Of course. You drew it.
You draw Turians so damn well!
Holy shit.
I cannot fully emphasise how much I admire your art.
I cannot fully emphasise how much I admire your art.
Oh my goodness. The details. HOW DO YOU DO THIS WITH CHARCOAL AND NOT SMEAR IT?
This looks amazing. I like that their foreheads are together. It's lovely and touching.
I wouldn't have minded Nihulus being more apart of the ME universe, too bad he died at the beginning of the first game
Yeah, Nihlus and Saren were both great characters. It would have been awesome if Saren hadn't died but had gone crazy, and they locked him up in some institution somewhere. I'd love to visit crazy Saren
Well even if he hadn't died but had gone crazy, how would the Reaper tech installed into his body play out? That was how Sovereign took over his corpse :I
Oh I know. There's no way it would actually work in the mythology. But damn, a mass effect Arkham Asylum type deal. I'd have loved that
I have mixed feeling about Saren :I
On one hand, he was a great villian for the game...The only villian you really get to fight...One the other hand, he pissed me off a good couple of times and not just in the game, but in the book too

Love your charcoal work <3
Wow, this is just... I will never get tired of staring at all the detail you put into your work! Gorgeous! And there is always such a great story going on in your art.
Bah! Ridiculous! Their loss, though sadly they will probably never realize it. Well, I for one will hold out hope that an artist of your caliber will get your due and end up taking OVER the art world, because your work is spectacular! Long live stories in art! (And your writing is not too shabby, either! You're only one of my favourite writers; no big deal! ) Seriously, you're the whole package. Okay, gushing over, before this becomes awkward and uncomfortable.
oh nihlus <3

With Riley Cooper and Jeff Maehl still in walking boots, the Eagles' young receivers are expected to get a good look Friday night in the preseason opener in Chicago. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said Tuesday that at this point in preparation for the regular season, the added exposure is helping with "developing the depth of the team."
Shurmur said he isn't worried about Jeremy Maclin, who bowed out of Monday's practice, returned Tuesday, but didn't do much. Maclin is coming back from an ACL tear.
"He's taken a lot of reps. He's done an outstanding job," Shurmur said, indicating that Maclin needing to back off a bit Monday wasn't a big deal to him.
"Everybody's trying to get their bodies ready to play individually, and then within that, everybody's trying to learn to play together, within the scheme, so that we can go out and play on Sundays," Shurmur said.

The Bicycle Friendly State℠ program is designed to establish best practices — we know every state has great riding opportunities, dedicated state-agency staff, determined advocates and cyclists of all stripes working to make a state great for cycling.
View the ranking here and look up your state's report card here!
The League annually ranks all 50 states on how bikeable they are. We do this based on a multi-faceted Bicycle Friendly State (BFS℠) questionnaire that is answered by each state's Bicycle Coordinator.
Because of an overlap in data collected for the League's Bicycle Friendly State program and the Alliance for Biking and Walking's Benchmarking Report, the League and Alliance partnered in 2012 and merged the two state surveys to eliminate redundancy and simplify the process for respondents.
The data collected is verified by League staff in concert with advocates in each state. States that continue to promote bicycling and improve conditions can expect to improve their scores.
The BFS annual ranking measures the states bikeability but does not include everything states can and should do for bicycling. The BFS ranking process illustrates general performance needs.
Traditionally, the BFS rankings show that there are fantastic efforts to emulate and there is still a lot of work to be done to increase bikeability in states – from the bottom to the top of the BFS ranked list.

First off, I'd like to apologise once again for the lack of activity within the group. I am entirely to blame. Although I have not been active here, be assured that I've been reading some of the submissions to our gallery and I am astounded at the quality of the work. Keep up the great work, writers.
Nevertheless, I hope to become a little more active again and with that I hope this group will do too. To kick this off I have a proposition:
I am looking for people to write writing tutorials and motivational articles that we can feature here. If you are interested please note me. Thank you.
Onto a huge thank you to all our staff members, members and a staff member that has recently departed with us due to personal reasons, WishingUnderThatStar. Please put your hands together ladies and gents.
Thank you for reading this, keep writing.
Huge Apology, Thanks and Oppurtunity by writeawayWatch

Hello! I just wanted to know if you're still looking for people to write tutorials and motivational articles for the group? I'm trying to update the "Looking to help out the Lit Community?" section of my article, Love dA Lit which lists some open administrator positions in groups.
I don't think you should blame yourself. I am sure you have been busy with other things in your life and I can't blame you for inactivity

Wide receivers are, for the most part, strange men, but few take it as far as Chad Ocho Cinco. First… well, his name is Chad Ocho Cinco. He legally changed his name so he could have a different uniform. It's been over a year and that's still just mind-boggling. His quirks and antics were entertaining sideshows while he was one of the best receivers in the business, and they always had an element of mirth that was missing from the more, shall we say, acidic me-first receivers (by which we mean Terrell Owens).
But as Ocho Cinco's skills have begun to diminish, so has the light-heartedness of his behavior. Wearing a Hall of Fame jacket (above) is much funnier than, let's say, repeated trade demands. Then there's this, his refusal to join in mandatory workouts with the Bengals. While that's not terribly calamitous for the team, it does come at a rather substantial cost to Chad–a quarter of a million dollars. Or, as the Spanish would say, uh, el quarter of a million dollars (We never took Spanish class).
ESPN notes, rather dryly, that "his willingness to risk losing a quarter-million dollars could be another sign of unhappiness." Uh huh. And that beer in John Daly's hand could be a sign of problem drinking.
It's a sad state of affairs for Ocho Cinco, who at 31 is probably only five years away - tops - from retirement. Wheels get slower. This stuff happens. When it comes to looking back on a HOF-type career, does he have the resume for Canton? We're not so sure.
Ocho Cinco's only got 53 touchdowns in his career, and he's barely in the top 50 for most career yards in NFL history. Worse yet, he hasn't won in the playoffs (0-1 all time), and the Bengals don't look anywhere near capable of reaching them this season. Sure, he can ask for a trade (again), but who's going to pay Ocho-type money for a receiver who only scored four touchdowns last season? He'll probably need to restructure his contract soon, and that's going to require putting away the ego - something that clearly hasn't happened yet.

Mygig issues
so it is pretty cold here -29C and I started the truck and when I got in I noticed my radio presets are fine but my HDD is emtpy, no music files, no pics, the pics are easy to re enter but damn I had over 10hrs of music uploaded ..... ughhhh
anyone else have mygig issues in the extreme cold??
thinking I may run a small space heater in the truck tonight just to help take the edge off inside.
No problems here this morning at -32C but this summer I had something similar happen. After a couple hours of driving listening to the HD it would quit playing anything off the HD but still list all the songs. Then it would totally quit playing anything off the HD and all the songs would disappear. Now here is the fun part, turn the truck off let her sit for a half hour and boom it would work without error. Did that to me twice and the problem never showed again. Could just be the extreme cold causing the issue.
Sounds like a loose/bad connector. Cold makes the connecter shrink a little - and it no longer makes contact. Would be very hard to find though.

Article Summary
The rotation of a supermassive black hole (SBH) has been definitively measured for the first time by combining x-ray data obtained by the x-ray space telescopes XMM-Newton (soft x-rays) and NuSTAR (hard x-rays). The SBH at the center of a galaxy called NGC 1365 was found to be spinning at 84 percent of the maximum speed allowed by general relativity – or roughly speaking, the edge of the black hole is rotating at 84 percent of the speed of light.

Six months have passed since the release of Nexus 5. The world is a different, more dangerous place. In the USA, the freedom fighters of the Post-Human Liberation Front use Nexus to turn men and women into human time bombs aimed at the President and his allies. The first blows in the war between human and post-human have been struck.
©2013 Ramez Naam (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, all rights reserved.
"Awsome listen about the birth of post humanity"
Exciting, mindstretching, humanitarian
Feng - likeable in a normal way... self depreciating with no ideological agenda
Nice mellow voice
This book made me think about issues that I hadn't thought about much before.
the book was a good antidote against self righteousness, hubris and intolerance
"Just a lot overwritten"
I enjoyed the first book. Nexus was Naam's first novel, so there was an energy there and I liked it. This book just turned me off. Overwritten, seemed a bit rushed (on the editing) and just kind of beat you over the head. I couldn't finish it and will return this if I can.
The performance of Mikael Naramore is a bit over the top too. The screams...ohh, the screams.
"Great Potential Buried in Brutality"
The theme of this book is very relevant. We are rapidly approaching a time when technology will penetrate our physical defenses. You actually see stories in the news now about sending thoughts across country via the internet. Well this book rightly points out the downside potential. Namely, the id (as in the movie Forbidden Planet). But the author get's so wrapped up in describing act of cruelty, that I couldn't recommend this book. For as I'm concerned, he wasted a good opportunity.
"Wow. What a ride."
Great pacing! In this story, the MacGuffin keeps everybody running from the start. At no point was there a long drawn out explanation of the technology being used. He tells you what you need to know, then keeps the story moving. It does kinda leave you with a Empire Strike Back ending. Now I have to wait for the next one!
"Not as good as first book of the series"
The story became a series of action sequences and with rather implausable abrupt and unsatisfying end. I really wish I'd just stuck to having read the first book. The narrator here was also lacking giveing stilted odd sccents to characters we already kniw and doing a really poor job with the screams and groans of female characters.
"Action filled with little substance"
The story setting after Nexus felt familiar and the excitement of the discovery was replaced by gruelling scenes of torture and action. If the first book was interesting with its mix of Buddhist philosophy and neuroscience, the second was repetitive without adding much to the world it had built.
Maybe what turned me off was that this was aimed at a younger audience than myself, probably at teenagers or science fiction enthusiasts in their early twenties.
In any case, even if the performance was generally of good quality, what I enjoyed the most was the unintentionally hilarious accent of the various protagonists.
Not a bad book, just not quite for me.
"I couldn't love the premise anymore, but…"
I found myself a little bored at times with this and nexus. there is definitely the set up for a third book, but I'm not sure I will listen to it. there were great parts to this book, but there was a lot of flat and boring parts too. I thought this was going to be a book that I enjoyed re-listening to, but I won't be.
nonetheless, it is a very interesting concept.
Hello world!
"What i expected, and then some!"
Im not really good at reviews but I can say a few things. The story blended well with the first book, and took turns that I didn't expect. I was excited to read this and I was happy that I did. Its nice to read a story with such complicated ideas in it. I patiently wait for more from this author.
"Changed narrator not bad at all.."
Luke Daniels is a fine narrator but the change to Mikael Naramore is not a terrible as one reviewer claims. I was neaarly put off from listening by the negative review given to the reader but are glad I ignored his review
"More, please!"
Pacing and twists! Can't wait for another novel by Ramez Naam! So much potential for the rest of this thought provoking story.
"The second season of a TV Show that lost its way"
I'd enjoyed Nexus enough to give in to the hanging ending and pick up Crux. Some of the pace and imagination had gone. I'm going out on a limb in terms of cultural references here but it felt like the second season of Heroes. The first book had genuinely interesting characters but this tends to fall back on shifting the action to some worn and predictable stereotypes.
"Now that's how you write a techno thriller"
Love every minute of this book. Just downloaded the third and final installment to my Kindle. Unfortunately there is no audio book version of the third book.

Do you guys remember Pollard saying something along those lines? If so, let's say when we take to the field for the last game and we are 5-6. Do you suppose that Pollard/Mac would say that meets the defiined goal? In theory they would be playing to become bowl elidgeable.
It sounds silly, but it was a thought that crossed my mind today.
This season is so hard on everybody, including Pollard because we all had such high hopes and goals for this team. I think that despite our performance so far, there have still been a lot of successes this year. By that I mean that we ratcheted up the excitement a couple degrees, sold record numbers of season tickets, had two consecutive record crowds, etc.
We might or might not be playing for an extension to the season during the last game, but we will be playing for even higher goals for next season. I think we are all dissapointed but we need to remember to keep supporting the team by turning out on Saturday's so both recruits and players understand that we expect better but we still support them regardless.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
Yeah, if you think about it, we could be playing for lots of things at the end of the season. ha ha.. come on Clones!
We could be playing for respectability - achieving a [__]-[__] record yet having the pleasant knowledge we knocked Missouri out of the b12 North Title Game... to make the Huskers the #[__] victim of Tejas.
Or we may be shooting for an offensive show - regardless of opponent.
Pereant osores!
Or we could be 7-4 at that time playing to go 8-4...

It was good book, I learned a lot by reading it. I don't think I would read it for fun but it was a good read for the class I had to read it for.read more
I liked that this book had pictures and diagrams..I would have liked it better though if they made the definitions stand out more and made them more clear.
American history is very complex. This book is very detailed and really is a good read.read more
Much much better I like that this book starts from the very beginning of american history unlike others.
The most interesting thing I learned about in this book was about the Battle of Fallen Timbers. I never knew much about this battle because it was not one that was brought up much in school in a normal US History class. This book went into depth about this topic and it was really interesting to me.read more

Respond to Review of Bem-Me-Quer
by PrincesaMichelle
Review: Enjoyed the "bacalhou assado" vegan codfish traditional style Portuguese meal. It was delicious and reminded me of my mother's home cooking. Ate a dessert that was to die for and had excellent fake coffee (it was a blend of cereal coffee they serve in Europe). Owner spoke with us throughout the meal and was so nice about recommending other restaraunts. Would love to eat there often if I didn't live in the US.
