Aikens sentenced to three consecutive life terms in triple homicide
Marchand, Dooley relatives speak of loss
GONZALES — A tearful Laureida Dooley told Michael Aikens — the man who helped beat and slash the throats of her husband and in-laws nearly two years ago in a rural corner of Ascension Parish — that she prays daily not to hate Aikens and wish he would "go straight to hell."
Dooley delivered one of the more emotionally raw and powerful victim-impact statements Tuesday at Aikens' sentencing hearing.
State District Judge Alvin Turner Jr. gave Aikens three consecutive life terms without probation, parole or suspension of sentence. He was convicted in the 2012 murders of Robert Irwin Marchand, 74; his wife, Shirley Marchand, 72; and his stepson, Douglas Dooley, 50, of Cross Plains, Tenn., who was Laureida's husband.
The Marchands and Dooley were found with their throats slashed and signs of having been beaten. Robert Marchand and Dooley were dead. Shirley Marchand died March 2, 2012.
The murders shocked the community. Robert Marchand was a lifelong resident of Gonzales, the owner of a then-defunct house-moving business and a regional figure in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Louisiana.
Shirley Marchand had worked in an area funeral home.
Aikens, 37, had worked for Robert Marchand for more than a decade in his house-moving business, investigators have said.
Aikens pleaded guilty to participating in the murders that arose from a home-invasion robbery about 10:20 p.m. Feb. 17, 2012.
He and three others stole gold and other valuable coins worth thousands of dollars from a safe in Robert Marchand's house, investigators have said.
A fifth man later helped open the safe at another location.
Aikens, 16460 La. 930, Prairieville, pleaded guilty on Oct. 1 to three counts of first-degree murder in their slayings in exchange for three automatic life sentences without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence.
Assistant District Attorney Robin O'Bannon said prosecutors have made no deals for testimony from Aikens in the four other pending cases.
On Tuesday, sheriff's deputies maintained an armed presence during the sentencing hearing at the Ascension Parish Courthouse Annex in Gonzales with as many as nine deputies in the courtroom at one point.
Emotions ran high during testimony and from the audience, particularly when Aikens' grandmother and later his mother had to be escorted out by family briefly to regain composure.
The mother, Leola Aikens, broke down while she and family waited for Turner's sentence during a recess following the impact statements.
Leola Aikens could be heard making high-pitched sounds of grief and shouting "That's my baby" in the courtroom and later as she was being led out and even later saying, "Oh, God, God, God."
The grief was equally shared as Laureida Dooley and three relatives of the Marchands shared their pain.
Dooley recounted the depression and the days in bed she has suffered since her husband, whom she reconnected with in her mid-40s and married late in life, was murdered.
"I cannot tell you that I honestly can forgive you, and I cannot tell you that I don't honestly hate you," Dooley said before Turner handed down the sentence.
"I can tell you that I wake up every day and I pray about it. I have to search my God to help me have strength to not hate you and to not wish that you would die and just go straight to hell."
Two of Robert Marchand's long-estranged seven natural children told of his good works later in life to help the needy after bad choices earlier in life and how his death took away any chance of their reconnecting with an older, wiser father that they were proud to learn about in death.
Lorna Marchand Weber, 56, of Houston, recalled how Marchand's bishop told her during the funeral that Marchand was being counseled to reconnect with his children and was hopeful he had been close to doing that.
"The greatest personal impact to me is that by murdering Irwin, Shirley and Doug, you have permanently removed the opportunity for reconciliation and a renewed relationship between Irwin and me, as well as with all of his children," said Weber, Robert Marchand's oldest child.
Aikens would have faced the death penalty if found guilty at trial and if he could not convince the court to rule on his claim he is mentally retarded and not eligible for the death penalty.
Turner had the option Tuesday to decide whether to order the mandatory life sentences to run concurrently or consecutively under the plea deal.
In a motion filed Monday, Aikens' attorneys argued their client's three life sentences should be concurrent because the murders arose out of the same plan.
Turner did not buy the argument.
"Three lives were taken as result of Mr. Aikens action, and the court cannot ignore that fact. To run these sentences concurrent would be an insult for taking the lives of these individuals," Turner said.
After the hearing, District Attorney Ricky Babin said he was pleased with the ruling.
"You can't serve but one, but it's a huge victory as far as the judge recognized that fact that three people lost their lives, and not one, so it was sentenced accordingly," Babin said.
During the hearing, Aikens, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and bound with shackles on his hand and legs, read a brief statement.
"I am truly sorry for what everyone is going through in this courtroom. Everyone has taken a loss, the Marchands, the Dooleys and also my family," Aikens said, appearing to choke up.
Aikens' attorneys declined to comment Tuesday after the hearing but told Turner they were planning an appeal.
As for the remaining four defendants, O'Bannon, the assistant district attorney, said prosecutors plan to bring Bernard James, 26, 36344 Lorena Drive, Prairieville, to trial on April 22 on three counts of first-degree murder.
Trial dates have not yet been set for Travis Moore, 21, 4950 Wilot St., Baton Rouge; Devon James, 25, 40140 S. Autumnwood, Prairieville, and Rolando Durrell Stewart, 23, 15379 Roy Rogers Road, Prairieville, all charged on three counts of first-degree murder.

A Community of Scholars Recognized at Honors Day
Shabnam Mirsaeedi Farahani Earns Alma College Barlow Trophy
Presented at Alma's annual Honors Convocation Thursday, April 7, the Barlow Trophy was established in 1949 by Dr. Joel Barlow, a 1929 honors graduate of Alma College. The award recognizes academic achievement for a graduating senior in the top 10 percent of the class as well as contributions to campus and community. The Barlow Trophy winner is determined by a vote of Alma's Student Congress and faculty members.
Mirsaeedi Farahani, a foreign service major, is this year's Student Congress president. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Delta Pi, Omicron Delta Kappa and Pi Sigma Alpha honor societies. She has been a member of the College's Strategy and Planning Council and student member of the Board of Trustees.
She has been a member of Alma's Model UN Team that has received two Outstanding Delegation awards at the national conference every year for the past three years.
An avid volunteer, Mirsaeedi Farahani is co-founder of the Forgotten Children of Eastern Europe, a non-profit organization that supports an orphanage in the Ukraine by sponsoring developmental projects that make life better for the orphans. Her projects have included helping raise enough money to purchase and install a heating system in the building. During her service to FCEE, the Posey Family Foundation endowed a scholarship to help students live in the Ukraine for four to six weeks to assist the orphans and learn about children's issues and life in the Ukraine.
has been involved in the Society for Protecting the Rights of the
Child, Amnesty International, and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF Mirsaeedi
Farahani has demonstrated her understanding of poverty and the issues
surrounding it on a global level and fought for the rights of women and
children in the Ukraine and in Iran. She utilizes these experiences to
teach and lead local college students about human rights and what can
be done to prevent their violation.
A 2001 graduate of Midland Dow High School, She is the daughter of Hessam Mirsaeedi Farahani and Gila Mohadjer of Midland.
Bethany Doran of Ithaca, daughter of Mike and Kathy Doran, and Mary Pietsch of Rogers City, daughter of Gary and Paula Pietsch, were the other Barlow nominees.
Barrister Society Wins Kapp Honors Day Prize
The Alma College Barrister Society took the 2005 Ronald O. Kapp Honors Day Prize with their proposal to do good deeds.
This year's task promoted by the Honors Day Committee in the annual cross-curriculum, collaborative project was titled "Raise Your Voice: Simple, Inexpensive Ways to Improve the Quality of Life at Alma College."
The Barrister Society, a group of pre-law students advised by Business Administration Professor Elizabeth Cameron, proposed "Pay It Forward -- A Commitment to the Liberal Arts" modeled after the movie "Pay It Forward" in which a young boy does good deeds with the stipulation that recipients pay forward the kindness to three other people.
Sophomore Sarah Ellsworth of Lansing, junior Mark Monto of Bay City and sophomore Mollie Smith of Grand Haven formally presented the proposal. Sophomore Chris Adamec of Goodrich, junior Sol Cortez of Detroit, first-year students Rachel Dotson of Chelsea, Jennifer LaMay of Yale, Kelly Schwartzkopf of Rochester, and junior Jim Templin of Brownstown plus Ellsworth and Monto prepared the presentation.
Recognizing a morale problem on campus among faculty and staff, the barristers are calling for students and campus organizations to unite to perform "a good deed for another with the stipulation that in return a good deed must be done for some other person or group," according to their proposal.
"Now is the time to show that students truly want to make a commitment to the liberal arts. Our proposal presents solutions to the decline in morale and would create a sense of 'community wellness,' by advocating (that if) it only takes one person to make a difference, as illustrated in the movie, then imagine what an entire campus could do. All aspects of the plan are designed to improve the overall quality of life on campus, not only for students, but also for the faculty, staff, community members, and student organizations," the proposal states.
Ideas include a mentoring program for first-year students with the result of connecting alumni to the College; Stepping out of the "Alma Bubble" to embrace the community as a whole; Friday speakers sharing their knowledge to help the Alma community.
"You have left a lasting legacy which will benefit future students. Pay it Forward — A Commitment to the Liberal Arts will celebrate a legacy of individual students, faculty, administration, organizations, and friends, the influence they have on who we are as a higher institution of learning, how far we have come, and the legacy we leave behind. It rejuvenates the bond that students have with their alma mater and their peers."
Bethany Payton Named Outstanding Senior Leader
Alma College seniors Amanda Buck of Saginaw, Shabnam Mirsaeedi Farahani of Midland, Bethany Payton of Bloomfield Hills, Jeff Snow of Pleasant Ridge and Laura Wasek of Traverse City received 2004 Outstanding Senior Leadership Awards. The Outstanding Senior Leader, won this year by Payton, is elected from the leadership award winners by a vote of the senior class.
The Alma Leadership Alliance (ALA), a student organization committed to bridging the transition between student and alumni status, sponsors the Senior Leadership Awards. Nominated by campus organizations and selected by a committee of students, faculty and administrators, seniors receive Senior Leadership Awards for involvement in various areas of campus life leadership.
A scholarship sponsored by ALA is given in the Outstanding Senior Leader's name to an incoming freshman who has demonstrated leadership qualities in high school.
Buck, a biology major and a 2001 graduate of Freeland High School, is the daughter of Kenneth and Tammy Buck.
Mirsaeedi Farahani, a foreign service major and a 2001 graduate of Dow High School, is the daughter of Hessam Mirsaeedi Farahani and Gila Mohadjer.
Payton, a communication major and a 2001 graduate of Lahser High School, is the daughter of Cathy Payton.
Snow, a 2001 graduate of Ferndale High School, is the son of Thomas and Kathleen Snow.
Wasek, an exercise and health science major and a 2001 graduate of Traverse City Central High School, is the daughter of Arthur and Paula Wasek.
Four Earn Outstanding Senior Awards
Melisa Bower, a Spanish major from Peck; Mary Pietsch, an exercise and health science major from Rogers City; Victoria Wilson, a biology major from Rochester Hills; and Angela Zischke, a biochemistry major from Lansing, received an Alma College 2005 Outstanding Senior Award, recognition for the highest grade point average of all graduating seniors.
Bower, the daughter of Dennis and Joanna Bower, is a 2001 graduate of Sandusky High School.
Pietsch, the daughter of Gary and Paula Pietsch, is a 2001 graduate of Rogers City High School.
Wilson, the daughter of Thomas and Alicia Wilson, is a 2001 graduate of Rochester Adams High School.
Zischke, the daughter of Kenneth and Mary Zischke, is a 2001 graduate of Waverly High School.
Outstanding Faculty and Junior Faculty Recognized
Alma College seniors recognized Dr. Kay Grimnes, Dr. Mark Seals and Dr. Robert Vivian with Outstanding Faculty Awards at the annual Honors Convocation April 7. Dr. John Rowe was named Outstanding Junior Faculty by his colleagues.
The Outstanding Faculty Award recognizes the impact on the quality of students' education. The awards are chosen by a vote of the senior class members in March with one recognition in each of the College's academic divisions.
Grimnes, professor of biology, represents the life sciences division; Seals, assistant professor of education, represents the social science division; and Vivian, assistant professor of English, represents the humanities division.
The Outstanding Junior Faculty Award demonstrates the confidence in and commitment to those faculty who have served a short time at Alma College. Rowe, associate professor of biology, was nominated by tenured faculty and chosen by the Provost with advice from the Faculty Personnel Committee and in consultation with the College President.

Sometimes creative people stop creating. They're just done. I woke up done this past Monday. So, after teaching my Music Together class on Tuesday morning, I treated myself to a little Rock Paper Scissors. $13.50 later, I left with a pattern for a teeny stuffed elephant, a half-yard of fine-wale corduroy, and a sense of excitement that I haven't felt in a while. I gave myself a creative-regeneration afternoon, and I traded my State of Done for this little green-polka-dot guy.

Judged: 1 1 1 It's true. The tea baggers are a good thing in the long run. They're the perfect storm - totally anti-American but think they're like the founding fathers. Shhh! Don't tell them the founding fathers studied science and physics, hung out in Paris, spoke multiple languages and hated religion. But what makes them so damaging to the party is their total obliviousness to it - they think they're doing something productive for America. In a way, they are. Their refusal to acknowledge the changing demographics and progressive social atmosphere is their death. Even funnier is how they HATE - and I mean HATE - 65 percent of the US electorate and still expect to garner 51 percent of the vote. That's just basic math. If you're despised by women, blacks and minorities, you can't win. I can't wait for the campaign. They'll have to have a crazy tea bagger to be able to win the primary. Moderates like Christies or Jindal have no chance - they were photographed with a black man sans hood. But no crazy tea bagger can win the general election. It's hilarious. Like I said - the perfect storm. |

Judged: 1 1 1 The demands of the GOP primary and the extremist base insure that the GOP candidate cannot win the general election. And they know it... ---------- The chairman of the Republican National Committee threatened on Monday to refuse to partner with CNN or NBC on any presidential primary debates if the two networks move ahead with plans for television projects on Hillary Rodham Clinton. Reince Priebus, the chairman, said in letters to the two networks that he considered the projects to be a "thinly-veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election." http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/05... ---------- LOL! Any excuse to avoid having the GOP freakshow aired to all of America. As David Plouffe says, "Better RNC debate plan. Held in hermetically sealed Fox studio. Avoid exposing swing voters to Crazy S*#t My Nominee Says." LMAO! |

Judged: 2 2 2 Control over RNC-CNN and RNC-NBC joint ventures is the only real leverage Priebus has over the networks, so in a way its not that surprising hed make this particular threat. But anyone who was sentient two years ago understands the real force behind the threat comes from the fact that GOP presidential primary debates are embarrassing spectacles people like to gawk at. Even after nearly two dozen such debates, millions of people still want to watch them, and not just on Fox News. What would actually be in the partys best interest is holding many fewer debates altogether, and if and when the networks ignore Preibus threat, hell have perhaps inadvertently made progress toward that goal. But its sad commentary on the state of the GOP that the allure of gaping at the Republican primary train wreck is a source of negotiating power for the party. http://www.salon.com/2013/08/05/gop_warns_net...

"My morals return with sunrise" Since: May 13 4,009 Ravenswood |
Judged: 3 2 1 Did you catch the tea bagger get stuffed at Ryan's masquerade about poverty? He says that poverty is caused by the declining family unit and then a lady who lives in reality says, "no, the number one reason for the declining family unit IS POVERTY." These guys really are just a freak show. I don't care what channel they're on - I'm tuning in. Compare that to the excitement Hillary will create. The chick's gonna get 40 percent of the electorate just in women, another 22 percent from blacks and latinos and half the white guys. It won't be another 51-49 victory. It'll be an actual landslide. 65-35, assuming the tea bagger candidate doesn't give us a "legitimate rape" comment, then it's 80-20. Can you imagine the foreign policy debate? It'll be brutal. They have NO ONE with anything close to her experience or intelligence. And she's a stone-cold bitch. It'll get brutal. |

Judged: 1 1 1 August 5 When President Obama dismisses the IRS political targeting of his conservative critics as a phony scandal, he is not only stretching credulity he is undermining our nations security.... That collapse is a direct result of the disintegration in public trust that has taken place on Obamas watch. Polls show that, for the first time in Obamas presidency, half of all Americans say they dont believe he is honest and trustworthy a 9-point drop in trust since May, and a 27-point drop since Obama took office. Moreover, a majority of Americans say the IRS scandal has caused them to doubt the overall honesty and integrity of the Obama administration. That is disastrous for our national security. The NSAs activities must, by their nature, remain secret which means they require a basic bond of trust between the people and their government. The Obama administration has broken that bond of trust. Little wonder, then, that so many Americans simply dont believe it when Obama officials insist that the NSA is not monitoring the content of their calls and e-mails. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/marc-t... |

What does the name "Solange" mean? A name is much more than just a name!
S is for secret, that you can certainly keep.
O is for old fashioned, you cherish the past.
L is for love, everlasting.
A is for activities, for you have many.
N is for nice, need I say more?
G is for grace, an admirable trait!
E is for excite, your spirit is catching!
The name "Solange" is of French origin and it means "Solemn". It's a name commonly given to girls.
According to the 1992 U.S. Social Security Administration data, the name "Solange" is not a popular baby girl's name in Florida. Imagine that, only 5 babies in Florida have the same name as you in 1992. Across the entire United States a total of only 24 babies also bear the same first name during the same year. From 1880 to 2011, the highest recorded use of the name "Solange" was in 2011 with a total of 130 babies.
Since 1880, your name was recorded 1,241 times in the American baby names history. Do you want to know 'how popular is my name Solange?'
Solange, know more about your family history and ancestors. You can search over 1.5 billion records online! (Sponsored Link)
Your name in reverse order is "Egnalos". A random rearrangement of the letters in your name (anagram) will give 'Nloegas'. (How do you pronounce that?)
Solange if you have a lot of $$$ and you want to buy a gift for someone, which one will you choose: mini laptops, bath toys or newest DVD releases?
Your past life Solange:
I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a male in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Poland approximately on 1600. Your profession was builder of roads, bridges, docks.
Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
You are a person with huge energy, good in planning and supervising. If you were just garbage-man, you were chief garbage-man.
Lessons that your last past life brought to present:
Your lesson – to learn humility and faith in spiritual principles. You should believe in High Reason.
Now do you remember?
Are you not curious to find out what happened on September 12, 1998 in history? There are some historical events about that day that are worth knowing!

I can use my Novation Xiosynth as a midi controller AND an audio interface. Works great! Nothing else required. However my Novation X-Station only works as an audio interface. I can not get the iPad to recognize any midi signal even through a powered USB hub. Go figure 8(

I've just used the lightning to USB connector to link my iPad Mini (using Garageband) to a midi keyboard controller, the Korg microkey 25. There seem to be some limitations, but it sounds the keyboards, guitar, bass, and sampler in the app. The strings only seem to sound as if it were one instrument, rather than a group, but you can play several keys to make a chord, making up for this to some extent. The drum seems limited to kick-drum and hi-hat only, but I've not experimented much with this.
The connector also works for my USB microphone, a Samson Meteor. Hope this is helpful to anyone out there using iPad & Garageband.- Answered by Robin W

Did Quincy Jones have a good relationship with Michael Jackson before his death? It seems debatable judging from his interview with Men.Style.com. The legendary music producer, who has been close with Jackson for several decades, sounds eerily unemotional about the icon's death. During the brief Q&A, Jones says everything from, "He obviously didn't want to be black," to "I won't be going to his funeral." Is this brutal honesty or brazen disregard? Judge for yourself after reading these excerpts.

Kate Moss Grabs Her Crotch To Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean"
In 2000, after a Harper's Bazaar shoot, photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin were hanging around with model Kate Moss, drinking and dancing.

Michael Jackson And Debbie Rowe Not The Birth Parents Of Their Three Kids
Yesterday, we told you that Michael Jackson was not the biological father of his children Michael Jr. and Paris since they were sperm-donor babes. Turns out, Debbie Rowe isn't the biological mother of the two kids she carried for the man in the mirror. All three children (including Prince Michael II) were produced via in-vitro fertilization. Debbie was the surrogate for the first two kids, and a different surrogate was used for Prince. It's unknown whether Michael chose the egg and sperm donors. So now the custody battle over the little ones is going to get even more twisted. With the way this story is playing out, maybe Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are the biological parents?

Lisa Marie Calls Michael Jackson "A Passionate Lover"
When news of Michael Jackson's death spread around the world on Thursday, one of the people to take the news the hardest was his ex-wife, Lisa Marie Presley. In the Daily Mail today, longtime Jackson friend and confidant, J. Randy Taraborrelli, shares some intimate details of their short-lived marriage, including some TMI about their sex life. He writes: "From my conversations with both Michael and Lisa, I am convinced this marriage was not a sham. And, according to Lisa herself, Jackson was a wonderful lover. He was, she said, 'very hot' in bed." The lengthy article is worth reading in its entirety, but after the jump are some of the more interesting quotes, plus Lisa Marie's own words from her MySpace page about her relationship with the King of Pop.

Fire hits empty Selby pub
8:31am Friday 1st June 2012 in News
AN investigation is being launched this morning after fire tore through an empty pub in Selby.
The fire at the Friendship Inn in Millgate, Selby, began at about 5.25pm on Thursday and was tackled by three crews.
A fire investigation officer has been sent to the pub today to try to ascertain the cause.
The Friendship Inn was sold last year and developers want to build houses on the site, although local campaigners have opposed the move.

Top models Ginta Lapina and Jac take us backstage at Giambattista Valli Spring Summer 2012 fashion show in Paris. "I love the reality of women" Valli explained to me after the show – "it's all about natural beauty".
Giambattista Valli's Spring Summer 2012 Collection was inspired by a mix of memories, cultures and an idea about a nomadic woman. "This woman is a traveller" explained Orlando Pita backstage, "there is a beach texture in the back, but we slicked it down on the front with gel, because the hair had to also look like she was coming out of the water".
The makeup look Val Garland created was a healthy, athletic, androgynous girl. It's all about a brushed up groomed eyebrow, a reflective color on the lid and lip balm on the lips". As Giambattista explained, "if you feel beautiful, you don't even need a hair do, that is the feeling".

Today's keyboards are modern marvels of science compared to the crusty old PS/2 monstrosities of yesteryear. A few purists may argue that current keyboards never managed to better the feel of the clacking beige bricks from the 90s, but they're wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong.
Still, it's hard to ignore that mechanical keyboards are making a comeback, with most using Cherry MX switches that have been purpose-built for gaming. These come in a range of flavours that give different sensitivity and feel that ranges from extra tactile to super-firm for aggressive gamers. But while mechanical keys can offer excellent feel and responsiveness, they are louder, taller and for some just too old-school.
Switches are not the keyboard hardware getting a makeover, however; many new releases also include funky LED backlighting for ease of use in dark rooms, media controls and little extras such as USB hubs. Extra hardware such as USB sound cards, LCDs and even fans are sneaking their way in, but really all the gadgets in the world can't substitute for a solid comfortable feel.
As with mice, you'll struggle to find many wireless gaming keyboards due to lag issues -- both real and unjustly perceived. In our testing we haven't had any issues with wireless tech, but gamers who demand the most responsive gameplay shy away from potential slowdowns. If wireless is more your style, then you'll find that many manufacturers offer a wireless version of existing keyboards.
Shopping for a new keyboard can seem deceptively simple, but it's worth locking down a few basics before you go draining the bank account. Mechanical keyboards might be all the rage, but it's worth finding a shop where you can play with one in person.
All current gaming keyboards have at least five programmable gaming keys, but more isn't always better. Sure, they're potentially handy, but in most games you actually only use a small selection of keys. Decent control software lets you bind unused normal keys to new functions and macros and set profiles for specific games. If you play a lot of RTS or MMOs then going all out on a keyboard packed with gaming keys can be worthwhile. Don't discount last year's models either, as they often have almost all the features of newer versions at a fraction of the cost.
It can be tempting to fall for the first super-cheap but pretty no-name keyboard you spot at your local computer store, but it really is worth going for a known brand. Generic keyboards often don't have features that are taken for granted on better models, such as being able to press a bunch of keys at once without signals getting lost.
Consider your primary purpose before buying a keyboard, as they're often targeted towards certain games. If you also do a lot of typing, a more general-purpose keyboard might be in order.

Kader and Sanford's 'Poetry of the Law' earns high review from NYT columnist
David Kader
An anthology,
Poetry of the Law: From Chaucer to the Present
, compiled by College of Law Professor
David Kader
and Michael Stanford, an attorney in the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office in Phoenix, was recently reviewed by New York Times Sunday Book Review columnist David Orr in
Poetry Magazine
's February edition.
Orr is a lawyer and a major poet critic.
The anthology is an assembly of law poems and was described as the first serious anthology of law-related poetry ever published in the United States.
The anthology came about after Kader, a poetry enthusiast, began to compile a list of all the law-focused poems he came across.
"Set in the courtrooms, lawyers' offices, law-school classrooms and judges' chamber; peopled with attorneys, the imprisoned (both innocent and guilty), judges, jurors, witness and law-enforcement officers; based on real events or exploring the complexity of abstract legal ideas; the poems celebrate justice or decry the lack of it, range in tone from witty to wry, sad to celebratory, funny to infuriating," according to the publisher's description.
Kader, an affiliate faculty member of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the Melikian Center for Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies, was an English major in college with an emphasis in poetry. He edited his college poetry magazine, in which he published some poems, and considered pursuing a master of fine arts degree before deciding on law school.
Stanford, who has a doctorate in English, also edited his college literary magazine and won the Academy of American Poets literary prize for a collection he wrote as a student. He has published poetry and literary criticism, and has taught at the University of Virginia and Stanford University, as well as ASU's Barrett, The Honors College.

Ol' Dirty Bastard
Ol' Dirty Bastard
One of the founding members of the Wu-Tang Clan, who recorded some of the most influential hip-hop of the '90s, Ol' Dirty Bastard was the loose cannon of the group, both on record and off. Delivering his outrageously profane, free-associative rhymes in a distinctive half-rapped, half-sung style, ODB came across as a mix of gonzo comic relief and not-quite-stable menace. Unfortunately, after launching a successful solo career, his personal life began to exhibit those same qualities. ODB spent much of 1998 and 1999 getting arrested with ridiculous, comical frequency, building up a rap sheet that now reads not so much like a soap opera as an epic Russian novel. At first, his difficulties with the law made him a larger-than-life figure, the ringmaster of rap's most cartoonish sideshow. Sadly, his life inevitably slipped out of control, and the possibility that his continued antics were at least partly the result of conscious image-making disappeared as time wore on. It was difficult for observers to tell whether ODB's wildly erratic behavior was the result of serious drug problems or genuine mental instability; bad luck certainly played a role in his downfall, but so did his own undeniably poor judgment. Despite being sentenced to prison on drug charges in 2001, it's worth noting that while he was running amuck Ol' Dirty's offenses were largely nonviolent; the saddest part of his story is that, in the end, the only person he truly harmed was himself.

Flameproofing Rugs
Fire Department code requires that all decorations and materials used for artistic enhancement be flameproofed (fireproofed). This code applies to all public buildings, which includes theaters, department stores, restaurants, bars, night clubs, public halls and hotels (main rooms, not guest rooms). All rugs used for aesthetic enhancement and decoration must be flame proofed (fire proofed) legally. Maryland Flameproofing provides the flame proofing service required by law, and is certified to issue flameproofing affidavits upon completion of our flame proofing service - exactly what is needed to clear up any flameproofing violations.
According to the FDNY, over 26,000 structural fires occurred in New York City in 2010 alone. In order to avoid incurring huge costs as a result of the damage caused by a fire, rugs used in public areas should be fire proofed. When rugs are flameproofed, they become resistant to spreading fire and also help prevent new fires from starting. The risk to life and property in a structural fire can be significantly reduced by flame proofing rugs in .
Flame proofing is done by coating the rug in fire retardant.
Call Maryland Flameproofing today at 800-590-5530 for a free estimate of flameproofing services for your establishment.

Delivering the keynote was DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, who proclaimed that in film's 100-plus-year history, there have been three major milestones that have advanced the art of filmmaking: sound, color and, now, 3D.
Around Hollywood, the prevailing wisdom is that to ensure a contemporary perspective and, hence, appeal to a new generation of filmgoers, successful film franchises need a fresh start every few years.

With an eye on consumer dollars, a growing number of movie studios are looking through their film vaults and reissuing landmark productions in stereoscopic 3D.
2011 and 2012 give every appearance of being watershed years for 3D production.

As stereoscopic 3-D films grow in popularity, visual-effects supervisors and digital artists face the challenges of creating digital imagery in three dimensions.

What Not to Say to a Teacher
August 20, 2012
This video was made by an educator who used to teach first grade at PS 321. It was sent to me by educator Renee Dinnerstein, who writes: "Kathy Collins was a much-loved first grade teacher. Now she's an educational consultant. She's written some pretty important professional books about teaching reading.
"Now that people are getting their kids ready for school and teacher-bashing is at an all-time high, I think that this might be something you might want to post on your blog."

When my original generation iPad started to crash every five minutes, I quickly stole my wife's first generation Nexus 7, don't feel bad for her she had already moved on to the new Nexus 7. It was my first experience in the Android ecosystem and after a week I was hooked. What struck me most was how productive I was on the Nexus vs the iPad. The iPad is pretty, shiny and fun. I spent most of my leisure time on my iPad and used my Mac Pro for work. Now I accomplish just as much on my tablet as I do on my laptop, without the photo editing.
The biggest improvement is the swipe keyboard that is fully integrated into the android operating system. Typing on a smartphone is a tedious process. It makes me miss my BlackBerry, but with swipe keyboard's intuitive operation I can write full long blog posts, like this, with relative ease. While the keyboard isn't perfect it is much more adaptive than the iOS autocorrect system.
Another improvement is the smooth integration of the Google suite of products that I was already using. Apple seems to try to stymie other companies integration into the iOS environment in order to promote their own apps. One example is the non-safari browser's are relegated to a second tier operation in order to slow them down when compared to the native safari browser. Now with the Google suite on Android I am able to move through the web seamlessly and create or edit documents while on the move. I also really like the Google Keep app which isn't available on iPhone.
So the first week has gone by smoothly. I do miss the the push notifications but the information center in Android is starting to grow on me. It also seems like the battery is wiped much quicker on the Nexus vs. the iPad. I'm actually feeling so confident in Android that next week I am going to switch from my iPhone, but more on that later.

PRESS RELEASE – 18 August 2012 – Puntland Government is proud to have played an active role in the Roadmap for End of Transition process in Somalia and welcomes the progress achieved by the Technical Selection Committee (TSC).
However, Puntland is concerned about the reported interference, intimidation and manipulation aiming to undermine the TSC discretion of applying the selection criteria for Members of Parliament, as per the agreements of Garowe Principles and Nairobi (4-6 August 2012).
We call upon all concerned parties to respect the neutrality, independence and discretion of the TSC.
Additionally, Puntland Government warns strongly against anti-federalism elements seeking key positions of power in Somalia, such as Speaker of Parliament and President, which could lead the country towards the risk of further national fragmentation.
Puntland Government has invested time, efforts and resources to ensure completion of benchmarks of the End of Transition process, leading to the adoption of the Provisional Federal Constitution of Somalia on 1st August 2012 and we welcome the initial list of 202 MPs announced by the TSC.

We are finalizing a trip to Caneel Bay at the end of June and would appreciate any room recommendations/suggestions. I have read that Caneel Beach is the most popular for families. However we only one daughter who will be 23 months by then and are concerned that section may be too busy with older families/crowded/too close to activities. Also debating ocean front vs. ocean view. Have also read ocean front you give up a bit of privacy as people may often be on the beach right in front of your room? Thinking of trying for Cottage Point section.
Thanks in advance! Also considered Little Dix Bay but the restaurant choices seemed very limited with a little one?
Caneel Bay best rooms with 2 yr old?

I've been to Caneel many times and actually wouldn't stay in the sections that are right on the beach (like Scott Beach) because I wouldn't like the people so close to the unit. I think that children are really only supposed to be on Caneel Beach (although you should check that out before you go since you'll be there in the off season). If you want a unit with separate space for your daughter, look into the rooms across from and next to the fitness center. Some of them have a separate bedroom.

Thank you! What were your overall thoughts on the resort - did you like it and was it as expected?

If Caneel will allow your little one on Hawksnest Beach, I'd suggest an upper level room on that beach. You'll have privacy, a screened balcony to the rear facing the gardens, and a front balcony overlooking the beach. The beach faces east. With sea grape trees on the beach, there will be plenty of shade from mid-morning on, and the trade winds will fan you. Few people on the beach at any time. Caneel is a beach and nature lovers' paradise. IMO, blows Little Dix away.

Ok thanks. We have now completely switched and may do Antigua, St. Martin or St. Lucia. Likely Antigua! Cannot decide.

Can anyone offer and deep discount routes for Caneel Bay? I know some resorts will offer a deep friends and family discount through certain agents, etc. If I can learn of anything, I'll try to move forward with it. Thanks!

I would suggest Cottage & if you can afford it abd it is available when you arrive. But it is "on request" and ONLY accept rooms C, D, or E. You have great views a lovely lawn but you child cannot acccess it without you and it is not far from the main dining room.We stayed there twice and loved it. There is even a small private beach you can take your daughter to.One other dining room will be open but you will have to take the jitney that runs every 10-15 minutes. Hawks Nest is not bad but if you are on the first floor your little one could accidently roam 50 yards to the beach nut that just where the beach begins.
Caneel does not offer discounts except sometimes in low season (Aug-Oct.) stay 5 nights and pay for 4 excluding food).
Hope this helps.

Patients who are frequently hospitalized account for a disproportionate amount of health care spending in the United States. Working with a $6.1 million grant, a new University of Chicago Medicine program will test whether an updated version of the traditional general practitioner can reduce spending while also improving care for these patients.
Under the new model, funded by a Health Care Innovation Award from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, multidisciplinary teams led by a comprehensive care physician (CCP) will care for patients in both outpatient and inpatient settings. By improving the continuity of an individual's care after a hospital stay and strengthening the bond between doctor and patient, the model hopes to provide better care at lower cost.
"Our goal will be to really understand patients' needs so that we can give them the care that they need," said lead investigator David Meltzer, MD, PhD, associate professor and chief of the Section of Hospital Medicine at the University of Chicago Medicine. "That should be better for them, and should ultimately be less costly for the health care system and produce better outcomes."
The model is built upon 15 years of research by Meltzer and colleagues on the changing medical work force in the United States. Health care providers increasingly rely on specialized physicians known as hospitalists to care for inpatients, while primary care doctors are less likely to see their patients while they are hospitalized. Though Meltzer found that this rearrangement has produced modest benefits in terms of health outcomes and reduced spending, it also has created unintended rifts in a patient's care.
"A whole series of trends have emerged over time that has made the traditional continuity in the doctor-patient relationship between the outpatient and inpatient setting more difficult," Meltzer said. "It's not that doctors don't understand this continuity is important or don't want to provide it; they face real barriers in caring for patients in both the inpatient setting and the outpatient setting. By focusing on frequently hospitalized patients, our CCPs will be able to have a real presence in the hospital and clinic on an almost daily basis."
Previous research supports that a strong doctor-patient relationship can lower the nation's health care tab. A 1984 Veterans Administration study compared patients who saw the same primary care doctor at every clinic visit against patients who saw a different physician each visit. It found reduced hospitalizations, hospital stays, and intensive care unit (ICU) usage in the group with higher continuity of care. Another study found that advanced lung cancer patients with integrated outpatient and inpatient care were 25 percent less likely to enter the ICU before death.
"There's a huge literature suggesting that elements of the doctor-patient relationship, including trust, interpersonal relations, communication, and knowledge of the patient, are all associated with lower costs and better outcomes," Meltzer said.
While the "Marcus Welby" style of doctor who manages all facets of care in and out of the hospital is no longer economically feasible - or necessary - for all individuals, Meltzer proposes that comprehensive care could be useful for patients at the highest risk of repeated hospitalization. Such patients, dubbed "hot spotters" by surgeon/writer Atul Gawande, account for a significant portion of health care spending in the United States, with one estimate concluding that 5 percent of Medicare beneficiaries account for 40 percent of Medicare spending.
