Over two days in the North Highlands cabbie murder trial, jurors watched a two-hour video in which Jermaine John Campbell admitted to Sacramento sheriff's detectives he participated in the fatal robbery of James Walker.
On Thursday, Campbell's lawyer put on an expert witness who suggested there might be less to the audiovisual than what met the jurors' ears and eyes.
University of Nevada psychology professor Deborah Davis was restricted from offering her flat-out opinion of the damning statements Campbell made about himself in the video played in court beginning Jan. 24 and concluding Monday. But she emphatically testified that confessions such as the one Campbell made in the Oct. 18, 2010, robbery killing of the cab-driving Walker should be viewed with a healthy dose of caution.
"In terms of absolute numbers, there are quite a number of documented false confessions," Davis said. "We don't know what percentage of confessions are false. We just know that there are a very large number of confessions that are proven to be false."
Campbell, 21, is on trial along with Jonathan Steven Hudson, 21, and Antoine Lee Taylor, 22, in the shooting death of Walker, 54. Prosecutors said the defendants called Yellow Cab Co. about 3 a.m., that they robbed the responding Walker and that one of them shot him dead.
In their videotaped statements, Campbell and Hudson both put themselves in and around the cab at the time Walker was killed, although neither took responsibility for the shooting.
Investigators said they recovered the gun used to shoot the cabbie when Campbell threw it as they were taking him into custody the day after the killing.
Davis testified Thursday before the two Sacramento Superior Court juries hearing the cases of Campbell and Hudson. Under questioning by Campbell's lawyer, Assistant Public Defender David Lynch, Davis told jurors that history is replete with anecdotal evidence of false confessions, such as those offered by the first defendants charged in the rape of the Central Park jogger in New York.
The psychology professor provided some statistical backup, testifying that 25 percent of the 301 people in the Innocence Project exonerated by DNA tests in serious crimes such as murder, rape, burglary and kidnapping had confessed to the offenses that they were later proven not to have committed.
Davis also cited a North Carolina Law Review study that documented 125 false confessions, including 100 that were offered in murder prosecutions.
"There's no limit to what people falsely confess to," Davis told the two juries in front of Judge Cheryl Chun Meegan. "There are just many, many documented cases."
One British study found that 12 percent of convicts surveyed reported that they had falsely confessed. Of those, some 40 percent "said 'I did it,' " Davis testified, "to be let go, which seems insane, but in looking at how police interrogations are conducted, that is the message that is given."
The false hope of release is one tactic that authorities hold out while interviewing criminal suspects, which leads them to believe that confessing to the crime "can be in their best interests," Davis said.
"The whole point of an interrogation is to convince them they will be better off," she testified. "It's a con job."
Davis said criminal suspects will "do anything" to get out of the stress, "the sense of hopelessness," of the interrogation. "They come to believe they will be better off in the eventual consequences if they confess rather than if they don't," even if it seems "crazy and nuts" to people who have never been in the police detectives' hot seat.
Clever investigators can elicit false confessions by ingratiating themselves with the suspects the "likeability" factor, Davis called it. It's also a legal and time-honored tactic for detectives to lie during interrogations about what evidence they have linking the suspect to the crime.
Lynch claimed in his opening statement that what he called Campbell's "low-dull" 75 IQ made the client even more susceptible to confessing falsely.
Davis testified that people who are "smarter than Einstein" also have done themselves in even though they were innocent when detectives were able to penetrate their resistance.
Under questioning by Deputy District Attorney Kevin Greene, Davis conceded that "there are true confessions as well as false confessions" and said, "I don't think there is anything in the police repertoire" designed to elicit bogus admissions.
Davis agreed that guilty people give true confessions amid all of the same circumstances that she said produce false statements, such as wanting to relieve the stress of the interrogation; seeing the admission as being in their own long-term self-interest; wanting to please the interrogator; and succumbing to the circumstantial falsehoods laid out by investigators that are meant to trap the guilty.
She also testified that she was being paid $150 an hour by the defense for the estimated 12 to 14 hours she put into the case.
The trial will continue Feb. 13.

The last few weeks I have been blogging like crazy with all my Best of 2010 categories. We are almost finished (thank god). Here is an assortment of some of my favorite football images of 2010. Enjoy.
.Living in Arizona is a great place for sports photography because there is a lot of sports to shoot. The bad thing is due to the heat, games are either played in domes or at night. Both of which rob photographers of getting to shoot games with cool sunlight and light pockets. Every once in awhile though we get rewarded with some day games.

Meantime we have a very -- Casey Stegall at the scene outside the Beverly Hilton and we know that Clive Davis.
Media and music -- I should say.
Is gathering at his annual pre Grammy festivities out there Casey when we -- on.
As someone who goes to if he's a former celebrity stylist.
Who goes to this party every year and he said that no doubt this one will be one of the most attended that they have ever had in the history of Clive Davis giving it.
What's it looking like out there.
-- -- so we understand that there was obviously talk earlier of canceling this event altogether when this very tragic news came down but then we understand that Clive Davis himself said.
That it was not going to be canceled because Whitney would not have wanted that.
And that is why all of the celebrities and a number of people -- we have seen.
Have continued showing up here within the last hour and a half or so some of the latest like Gladys Knight of course another legend Britney Spears some -- -- one said that the new or entertainment.
Entertainers to join the scene Herbie Hancock Darren -- as we said Tony Bennett just the list goes on -- -- line.
And -- the red carpet still very much -- -- as everyone is talking about this I got a tweet from one of our viewers earlier saying that.
You know maybe it's not fair to describe it as a party like atmosphere here and I don't know that it's necessarily a party like atmosphere I am sure.
That up all of the people that are coming out for this event are inside.
Talking about this news that broke.
But I -- it again sort of set the scene for you outside of the Beverly Hilton hotel because there are.
So many people out here -- general members of the public that have come out here they have the -- phones they have their cameras around their neck they are.
Snapping photos to document this moment in history I hate to keep making the parallel of Michael Jackson but I I cover that.
From top to bottom the moment the news came down that he had passed away right down to the funeral and then some of the court proceedings along with my colleague -- Adam Housley when his Doctor Conrad Murray was on trial just a few months back.
And there are eerie eerie similarities to this because.
The news is so shocking Michael Jackson the King of Pop Paris you said it earlier you know Whitney Houston was the queen of pop if you will.
And the news is really just spreading like wildfire and you have so many people not only Los Angeles resident Beverly Hills residence.
But also a lot of tourist you know LA is the second largest city in the country everybody comes -- Hollywood's.
To get a glimpse of the Hollywood sign and two to make the rounds and see all of that the tourist destinations.
It's a Saturday night.
It is very busy.
The eve of the grammys and a lot of folks from the it all over the country in fact are out here you know some of these people look my photographer can pan over there some of these people here are get radioed to run across the street now obviously there is a heavy police presence here.
-- heavy security presence and they are not allowing.
You know members of the public even members of the press up.
Very close to where all of the activities are going on but it is a true circus outside of this hotel.
Very busy hotel by the way the Golden Globes were just held here not long ago this is very famous a lot of celebrities stay at this hotel when they -- LA.
And when they come to Hollywood I wanna talk Harris kind of walk you through the timeline and know that we're sort of repeating ourselves a little bit for our viewers that are watching us continuously but.
We are having new viewers joining us all of the time and there are a lot of reports out there.
About the last several nights and -- what Whitney Houston was up to the last several -- one of her last public appearances.
Was Thursday when she was -- the true Hollywood club -- an R&B party there.
And one of our celebrity analysts earlier was saying that.
Some photos were snapped -- of -- -- against the event looking.
Beautiful and looking quite well but she came out with her daughter her leg was bleeding she had scratches on her -- she looked disoriented.
You know.
I know we need to be careful in our reporting about.
Alleged drug use here has some people have indicated that she was trying to get her life back on track but she did not look well when she was leaving that club.
Thursday night than last night Friday night.
From insiders at the Beverly Hilton hotel here where again Whitney was staying.
That -- -- -- large group of her friends were partying in the hotel bar.
And you know it's not uncommon for high profile people as we said to be here and to be having a good time.
But some of the the people inside that that solve this said that the crowd was very boisterous they were drinking heavily and they appeared to be you know partying quite heavily and that was last night.
So a little bit of a better idea from some of the accounts in terms of what she was up to the last few nights.
Leading up to the big party tonight that she was supposed to attend -- Clive Davis event and then of course the grammys tomorrow -- It's got to be so careful here and I'm certainly you know that's one thing about the virtual world Casey you mentioned you get automatic feedback from viewers and and we do wanna -- not to speculate because we don't know.
But it it just kind of puts things into context.
The life that the superstar like that these celebrities live.
I -- one of our guests on set said that it's a real it's not even the reality that any of us could really imagine.

text: A year ago next month, my girlfriend of six years issued me the ultimatum—marriage and kids or a breakup. I chose the latter, telling her that, as much as I loved her, I couldn't envision a life with children. She called me selfish, and she was right, but I couldn't any longer uphold the illusion that I would change my mind/feelings.

It's not a "known fact". Seriously, just stop.
But there aren't ever more than 2 going on at once (the same as in "Blues for Klook") in Chan's version of Aranjeuz, are there? There are a greater variety of voices used throughout the piece but not all at the same time. It's always guitar+string or horn+string or guitar+horn or string+woodwind. Or am I not recalling this correctly?
I have also noticed a bias in your posts in regard to Lori Nichols choreography. You don't seem to think much of Nichols choreography and criticize it at every turn. This renders your opinions of programs choreographed by Nichol as moot.
I love Takahashi and his ability to become the music. But I also recognize that he is doing less complex choreography with less detail that Patrick. Both skaters are prone to making mistakes, but then they are doing more difficult elements than nearly everybody else. And Takahashi is more prone to letting his performance go when his jumps aren't solid. Patrick never gives up on his program which is why his PCS tends to hold up better with mistakes.
More fail reasoning. Not caring for much of Lori's recent work doesn't mean I have any kind of misplaced bias. It means I don't like the work, for the exact reasons I always describe.
Do you even understand how criticism works? Someone's view is not "rendered moot" as a result of not exalting a popular person constantly. There are a sizable number of Hollywood films released every year that make $200+ million dollars and quite a lot of them receive poor reviews overall. That doesn't mean the critics' opinions are rendered worthless by the financial success of the product (although certain studio executives would have you think that way, as you are trying to do here).
People seem to be mistaking bias with an informed opinion. The bias here is rather your own FOR Lori's work, since you always defend it as perfect without any relevant reasoning.
Hm, a lay person can usually catch only two or three voices at a time. So how can I explain this? Let me try:
Exercise #1: Listen to the guitar alone. There are two different voices. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv4TWYesMBE#t=5m000s) Now, pay attention to the background. Can you hear the violin? So there are three voices going on at once in that section.
Exercise #2: It starts with chords (six notes simultaneously at every stroke) made by the guitar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv4TWYesMBE#t=0m036s) to accompany the dominant melodic voice (the oboe) that comes moments later, soon joined by the violins II and cellos, and shortly violins I and violas....

Okay, BC, I don't have music training, just years of self-taught listening, so you'll have to break it down for me. When you say there are two voices in the guitar alone, do you mean (because I couldn't catch it in that little extract) that two strings are being plucked at once, or that when a single note is plucked, it has undertone vibrations that are another note? (I recall one junior high school music class where the teacher hit a note on the piano and made us listen for the other tones.) I know that acoustic guitar is especially good for learning about this kind of thing, because it's got such clear vibrations; it's not some synthesized electronic construct.
Sorry to butt in, but I can't figure this out for myself. Thanks!
In Exercise #1, the second melody comes a quaver later an octave higher than the first (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC91sfBYCF4#t=9m023s).
Okay, thanks, BC.
Interesting, BC. Those aspects of music are things I'd probably like to take classes on if I could find the time. I used to do singing competitions and know how to read some music, but there's a whole lot more out there to learn (and I have to kick myself for not trying to learn the piano and guitar as a kid).
Actually, your questioning about the contrapuntal density of Aranjeuz is not completely wrong. Compared to Baroque music, Aranjeuz makes minimal use of counterpoints. Even Exercise #1 is a very simple type of canon, nothing fancy about it. I think the composer feared that the guitar might be overwhelmed by the orchestra if too many voices are present.

HI all, I got some free chromadepth glasses off a friend and want to try them out with touch.
chromadepth uses a special lense on one eye that refracts different color ranges differently, making deep blues look far away and reds close when we look thru the glasses.
I am thinking to make a ramp running from blue through green with yellow in the middle, then orange and finally red.
from there, I'm a bit lost. would I do it with a lookup TOP and a Depth top to convert the depth map into the colors of the ramp?
my first attempts have failed to produce a depth map.
can anyone put me on the right track?

If there are any NYC commuters out there, I envy you. Not for your long rides to work, but because you will be in proximity of the Bluth Original Frozen Banana Stand, which is taking up residence today near Radio City Music Hall.
The fast-food stand, for those of you who don't know your chicken dances from your cornballers, is a publicity stunt to announce the new season of Arrested Development. Here's the trailer:
As you can see, the video points out something that makes this season of Arrested Development different from all of the others: It's debuting on Netflix. That means every episode — 15 of them — will be available all at once, starting on May 26.
This has sparked a lot of discussion on how to watch it. Do you dole out the episodes on a measured basis? Or do you cancel all your Memorial Day Weekend plans and watch them marathon-style?
On one hand, if you do the responsible thing and ration the episodes, you leave yourself open to spoilers from the people who gobbled them all down in one sitting and immediately took to the Internet to log their reactions.
On the other, sitting through eight hours of television in one sitting is tough, especially on a (hopefully) lovely Memorial Day weekend.
Binge-watching TV is a phenomenon that's been around as long as TV on DVD has. (Just ask my mom, who caught up with Lost on DVD a couple seasons in, and then couldn't stand watching them in real-time with commercials and one-week breaks between episodes.) But Netflix and other streaming services have made it even easier to watch entire runs of shows in as many hours as you're able to devote to them. Binge-watching also have that thrill of being totally immersed — possibly obsessed? — with a certain world and a certain set of characters.
So, are you a binge-watcher, or is it just too much? What's your episode maximum? Let me know in the comments.
Associate Editor Marisa LaScala joined Westchester magazine in 2003, and ever since she's blown every paycheck at the Greenburgh Multiplex. She also staunchly defends Richard Kelly, doesn't mind spoiling the endings of trashy movies you're curious about but don't want to pay to see, wishes the Hold Steady would come back and rock out Westchester, misses Arrested Development more than anyone can imagine, and still watches cartoons and Saturday Night Live. You can find more of her cultural criticism at www.popmatters.com, where she is a staff writer.

Geez, Roy Oswalt has sure come a far way since the whole "I will only sign with one or two teams" stance as he signed with the Rockies. They're not necessarily a bad team, but what pitcher wants to come out of semi-retirement to pitch in Colorado? It's like Smokey the Bear coming out of semi-retirement to work at a cigar shop. "Smokey, we really appreciate the job you're doing, but could you stop throwing buckets of water on our customers?" That's Smokey's boss at the cigar shop. Better yet, a pitcher coming out of semi-retirement to pitch for the Rockies is like I.M. Pei coming out of retirement to work at Home Depot. Roy Rockie Oswalt must've really got sick of driving his kids to school and needed something to do. Oswalt is going to assassinate his career ERA. Maybe Oswalt plans to drive his tractor to Colorado and haul dirt until Coors is at sea level. When your third best starter is a toss-up between Tyler Chatwood and Jeff Francis, you're pretty much guaranteed a starting job, so Oswalt should be with the major league club shortly, but you shouldn't care. I liked El Roy with the Astros, but it's all rut-roh in Colorado. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Gavin Floyd
Despite his unfortunate name, Homer Bailey pitched the first Reds' no-hitter since 1988 last night, completely shutting down the Pirates down-and-out offense, allowing just 2 base runners on an error and a walk and striking out a career high 10 batters.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Brandon Phillips isn't the shiniest tool in the toolbox, but he hit two homers off Beachy yesterday. He's gone from a 30/30 2nd baseman to a 20/20 2nd baseman to now an 18/15 2nd baseman, but that doesn't mean you're completely screwed if you overpaid for him on draft day. As long as Dusty hits him between Votto and Bruce, good ol' Brandon should deliver above average R/RBI at a solid average. He might not be as sexy as an Altuve or a Jemile, but he'll probably be a better value the rest of the way. BTW, even if you didn't own him last night, the best thing about BP wrecking another Beachy was we didn't have to sit through a celebrity telethon and Sean Penn's sourpuss. Anyway, here's what else we saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Bryce Harper and Mike Trout were called up by their respective clubs this weekend. When Bryce left Syracuse for his first major league game, the grand opening of the "Eye Black Isn't Just For The Ultimate Warrior And Owls" store turned into a Going Out of Business sale. When Mike Trout left Salt Lake for the Angels, Bobby Abreu's three year Going Out of Business sale came to an abrupt end. Bobby, "I still have some seven-pitch walks to sell!" With Trout and Harper called up, the minor leagues were closed. There's no more minor leagues. In his major league debut, Harper looked like all that and a bag of douche. Who over the age of twelve flips their helmet off when they're running? Wait, is he over the age of twelve? Definitely more auspicious of a debut than Trout's (or is that inauspicious?). (NSFWUYWAAPPH (Not Safe For Work Unless You Work At A Porn Production House): In case you didn't see it, Harper roped a double to deep center while someone behind home plate dropped their pants. (Here's Bryce Harper's first major league hit in motion.) I can't wait to go to Cooperstown in 25 years and see Bryce Harper's 1st major league hit. The curator showing a group of middle school kids, "Here's the film of Babe Ruth calling his shot and here's Bryce Harper with a booty call." In 50 years, Bryce Harper showing his granddaughter, "There's your PawPaw getting his first major league hit." "PawPaw, are you the one with your ass showing?" "No, sweetheart, that's how fans celebrated baseball players when I played. A great time to be alive.") Mike Trout, nor the fans behind him, flashed anything. Whatevs, I like him better for this year.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and Rudy are letting me run a team for Razzball, and I'm totally pumped about it. See, this is my first venture into the realm of expert leagues or writer's leagues or whatever the hell you wanna call them and the pressure on a rookie like me is enormous. Grey told me I can only cover White Sox prospects if I don't finish in the top eight. I feel like Andrew Luck or something… probably bigger than that, actually. Anyway. The auction happened a couple Thursdays ago and my strategy was simple: don't look stupid. I'm not quite sure if I've succeeded in that regard. You tell me. Click here to see the complete auction results.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scott Rolen is out for the season. It's time to go gorilla! I don't even know what that means. Random Italicized Voice, no one knows what it means, but it's provocative! If you got some risk to burn in deeper leagues at corner infidel, get in on Juan Francisco. I talked a bit yesterday about how I'm gonna go caca-cuckoo on Francisco next year if he has a starting job. I'm gonna be like a cyclops wearing a monocle. Why a cyclops wearing a monocle? Good question. A cyclops only has one eye so it's particularly sharp. Like how a blind person's hearing is enhanced. So you put a monocle on a cyclops and you have creature that sees everything. That'll be me. BTW, Yonder and Francisco have complementary hat tilts. Just something I thought you should know.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As Alex Rodriguez rehabs down in Miami, the heat (oofa!) is on his gambling habits. "According to the baseball executive, MLB has yet to positively determine that Rodriguez took part in the (poker) games, which reportedly included actors Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, John Malkovich and that guy in that movie starring that other guy." Poker is a game played by men or women who will beat your ass, so you know A-Rod is only getting invited to these games because he's probably the world's worst poker player.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Vicente Padilla went to the DL with a forearm strain. Maybe it's was straining to be a fivearm. Oofa! Who am I, Buddy Hackett? Actually, I am. No, I kid. Or do I?! No, I do, he's dead. Unless I'm writing this post from beyond the grave! Boo! Know what I like most about Matt Guerrier? He's not Padilla. How's dem apples? Sour! Then we have Kenley Jansen– "Buh-buh-but, Grey! Who do we own from the Dodgers bullpen? I can't own everyone. By the way, nice mustache. Primo!" For immediate closer action, I'd own Guerrier, Jansen, Alyssa Milano, in that order. Unless your league counts blown saves, then reverse the order. But — and unless you're an alien, there's always a but — I think Jansen ends the season with more saves than Guerrier. The only problem is I think he gets weaned into the job and may not be getting saves regularly at first. Frankly, it's a committee and too many chefs make too many hors d'oeuvres and not enough entrees, or whatever that cliche is. Oh, and because any great closerousel shituation should keep fantasy owners on their toes, Guerrier pitched the 8th inning in a losing game last night. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Joe Blanton – Yesterday, he was scratched. No word if he's still itchy.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 6 is here, subtle rejoice. Some top minor league guys are getting the call, the closer situations on some teams are still an enigma wrapped in a TLR sandwich and some elite pitching has returned. Now is the time to start gambling on guys that have either underperformed or you have a hunch about.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Already thin 3rd base position just got a lot thinner with Pablo Sandoval breaking his hamate bone. When Sandoval first heard the bad news, he pulled a half-eaten ham bone out of his pocket and asked if the doctor could insert it in the injured bone's place. He couldn't. Sandoval now knows how Rikki Lake feels when she lost all that weight then lost her job. Sometimes fatty boombalatties are best to stay fatty boombalatties. Hey, I don't make the world, I just live in it. So, Sandoval will miss up to 2 months with surgery and rehab. His blimpotence was already an issue and hamate bone breaks tend to zap power further. It's not a good day to own Sandoval. Yesterday wasn't very good either. Tomorrow probably won't be much better. Then on Wednesday…Well, you get the point. When Mark DeRosa returns, he stands to see an increase in ABs, for those in NL-Only leagues who just need counting stats. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Ryan Zimmerman – Will miss 6 weeks with a tear of the rectus muscle in his abdomen. Why does he have an anus in his stomach?
Please, blog, may I have some more?

From The New York Times:
Matthew Staver for The New York Times
John Harold found himself short of workers to harvest his corn and onions after he decided to try to hire more local residents and fewer foreign laborers for his 1,000-acre farm.
By KIRK JOHNSON
Published: October 5, 2011
OLATHE, Colo. — How can there be a labor shortage when nearly one out of every 11 people in the nation are unemployed?
That's the question John Harold asked himself last winter when he was trying to figure out how much help he would need to harvest the corn and onions on his 1,000-acre farm here in western Colorado.
The simple-sounding plan that resulted — hire more local people and fewer foreign workers — left Mr. Harold and others who took a similar path adrift in a predicament worthy of Kafka.
The more they tried to do something concrete to address immigration and joblessness, the worse off they found themselves.
"It's absolutely true that people who have played by the rules are having the toughest time of all," said Senator Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado.
Mr. Harold, a 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran who drifted here in the late '60s, has participated for about a decade in a federal program called H-2A that allows seasonal foreign workers into the country to make up the gap where willing and able American workers are few in number. He typically has brought in about 90 people from Mexico each year from July through October.
This year, though, with tough times lingering and a big jump in the minimum wage under the program, to nearly $10.50 an hour, Mr. Harold brought in only two-thirds of his usual contingent. The other positions, he figured, would be snapped up by jobless local residents wanting some extra summer cash.
"It didn't take me six hours to realize I'd made a heck of a mistake," Mr. Harold said, standing in his onion field on a recent afternoon as a crew of workers from Mexico cut the tops off yellow onions and bagged them. (more…)

Example: Who commits these crimes that we want to stop? Criminals, gang warfare, family disputes, the mentally ill. Not a one of the major crimes were committed by an NRA member or we would of heard about it loud and clear.
Now let's investigate the NRA. It consists of law-abiding citizens that like to hunt or do sporting events. They educate their family on the proper use of firearms. They lock up their weapons. They protect the forest and wildlife. They are mostly honest citizens who love this country.

December 10, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas -- Attorneys for hundreds of Texas school districts are telling a judge that state funding for public education is "hopelessly broken."
In opening statements Monday in Austin, Judge John Dietz heard that unless Texas bolsters its school funding, the earning power of its residents will decline so much that it will cost the state $11 billion in lost tax revenue by 2050.
Attorneys say the current funding scheme means districts in wealthy parts of Texas get about $2,000 more per student per year than districts in poor areas, even though they charge on average 8 cents less per dollar paid by area residents in property taxes.
The trial is expected to last into January. It involves six lawsuits filed since last October on behalf of about two-thirds of Texas school districts.

I have scheduled backup script that makes the database dump. How can I add the date timestamp to the file name?
I am talking about Windows and CMD.
In the command prompt and batch files, you can use Use something like:
This will produce a filename such as | |||||||||||||||||||||
Use the theory » echo %date% 2009-06-01 theory » echo %time% 16:30:41,46 theory » echo %time::=% 163052,17 theory » echo %time::=,% 16,30,58,68 theory » echo backup-%date%-%time::=-%.zip backup-2009-06-01-16-31-18,82.zip | |||||
Use %DATE% variable in the filename. There is a %TIME% variable as well, but it contains characters not allowed in a file name. Here is an example of writing a line of text into a new file, where the file created has a date and time in its name.

You'll find in my portfolio 4 mega menus and for all of them, the live preview should give you an idea about their specific features but let's see more in details what they have to offer (and I'll use numbers to avoid repeating their full title) :
Each menu has a different aspect :1) and 2) come with different color options
3) and 4) have only the color scheme shown in the preview.
Drop downs
1) has 7 sizes for the drop downs (from 1 to 6 columns + a full width option)2) and 4) have 12 sizes including the full width
3) holds only full width drop downs
Drop downs content
All of them have been created to hold a lot of content into mega drop downs with a slight difference :1) can hold content within a maximum of 6 columns,
2), 3) and 4) can hold up to 12 columns.
They all use a grid system.
Vertical Menu
The menus 1) and 2) can be used as vertical mega menus, it means that the menu bar is displayed as a column and the drop downs appear near this bar. You should see those variants in the video or in the screenshots.Compatibility
See the description of each menu, there's a list of compatible browsers for each of them. You can also try the preview with different browsers / devices.Mobile devices
All menus are fully responsive, they have been tested on Android (tablet and mobile), iPad and iPhone.Conclusion
Take the time to test the live previews, they don't show all possible usages of the products and it's quite enough to get an idea about what they can do.Because those products have not been created at the same time and in the same way, I don't offer any menu combining all possible options. I'd just recommend to choose the one that is the closest to what you need and start from there.
The menu 4) is (for me) the most advanced and the most complete solution so it should be the one that should fit your needs if you're unsure.

Shame in the Blood: A NovelShame in the Blood , or Shinobugawa , is considered one of the finest contemporary love stories in all of modern Japanese literature. The narrator, a young college student, has had two brothers disappear, two sisters lost to suicide, and his third sister is physically disabled. He is determined not only to survive but to thrive in spite of tormented thoughts that his family's blood is cursed. Told as six interlocked and layered stories, the novel builds and deepens as the particulars of everyday life provide a moving, beautiful testimony to the love and power of youth and commitment. The whole story is tinged with melancholic sadness often associated with Japanese literature, where the feeling of love itself is ?a little death.� First published in Japan, Shame in the Blood sold more than a million copies, was made into a film directed by Obayashi Nobuhiko, and won the Akutagawa Prize for Literature, launching the Tetsuo Miura's career. Working in the great tradition of Japanese novelists from Soseki to Kawabata, from Mishima to Abe, Miura takes his place as one of the greatest living Japanese writers. |

Pay rises under fire as West Midlands council rich list revealed
Pay rises for council chief executives in parts of the West Midlands were questioned today as they continued to grapple with multi-million pound funding cuts and axed hundreds of jobs.
Official accounts published by local authorities show more than 1,200 people were made redundant by nine councils over the past 12 months, but that this was more than 550 fewer than the year before.
Two chief executives were given pay rises over the past year – Wolverhampton City Council's Simon Warren and Stafford Borough Council's Ian Thompson.
The increases were condemned by opposition Tories in Wolverhampton and an opposition Labour councillor in Stafford, who said borough council bosses had refused to increase the wages of the lowest paid workers.
The cost of another five local authority bosses also went up after employer pension contributions and other expenses were taken into account.
Mr Warren's salary, fees and allowances rose from £138,432 to £140,958. The total cost of his post was £186,268 in 2011/12 and £190,617 in 2012/13.
Mr Thompson's salary went up from £107,307 to £110,135, taking the total cost of his job from £132,750 to £137,526.
Publicly available statements of accounts show that more than £58 million was paid to make almost 3,000 workers redundant in the West Midlands over the past two years between Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley, Wyre Forest, Staffordshire County, South Staffordshire, Stafford and Cannock Chase councils.
The accounts also revealed that the cost of most chief executives' pay was higher overall despite almost all of them having their pay either frozen or cut.
Sandwell Council's chief executive Jan Britton had his pay frozen at £139,000. But the total cost of his role to the public purse went from £162,630 to £165,659 including pension contributions.
He also received a £1,500 payment listed in the accounts as 'other emoluments', which he did not get the previous year. The council said it was to cover the membership of a professional body that he previously belonged to in his former role as executive director of urban regeneration. This membership has now ceased.
At Staffordshire County Council, the total cost of remuneration for chief executive Nick Bell went from £237,737 to £238,053. But his salary was cut from £195,466 to £194,550.
Taxable expenses and allowances increased from £7,951 to £8,208 and pension contributions rose from £34,320 to £35,295.
Other chief executives for South Staffordshire and Wyre Forest district councils also either had their pay frozen or cut, but rising employer pension contributions resulted in an increase in their overall remuneration. Cannock Chase Council boss Stephen Brown had a pay cut but pension contributions went up, meaning the cost of his post rose by £70 over the year.
One council chief executive out of nine cost exactly the same in 2012/13 as the year before. Dudley Council's accounts show John Polychronakis had his salary frozen, as well as his pension contributions.
Paul Sheehan, Walsall Council's chief executive, cost taxpayers less in 2012/13 than the year before. A bonus of £10,860 was not paid this year after councillors decided to scrap the performance-related reward.
Councillors today warned that deeper cuts would follow in the wake of further funding cuts imposed by central government.
In Wolverhampton up to £86m has to be cut from the city council budget over the next five years.
Councillor Wendy Thompson, opposition Tory finance spokesman, said the cuts raised questions over a £2,526 a year pay rise for chief executive Simon Warren.
She said: "Almost everywhere else pay has either been frozen or cut."
And Stafford opposition Labour councillor Malcolm Millichap said he did not believe the increase from £107,307 to £110,135 to a year for borough council boss Ian Thompson was justified.
He said: "We asked for workers on the minimum wage to be paid the national living wage of £7.45 an hour, meaning they would earn enough to cover living costs.
"But we were told the council could not afford it. And yet it can afford to give a pay rise to someone already earning more than £100,000 a year."
Councillor Mike Bird, leader of Walsall Council, said the scrapping of bonuses for officers was necessary. He said: "We've been looking at all salaries from the chief executive down and when we can save the taxpayer money, we will."
He said that he was surprised that Walsall was the only authority in the region to increase the number of job cuts but stressed that the vast majority were voluntary redundancies.
Walsall Council is facing cuts of £80 million over the next five years, putting more services and jobs at risk.
And Sandwell Council's deputy leader, Councillor Steve Eling, said: "Following the Government's spending review budget cuts future years look bleak, with potentially another 500 jobs at risk by 2017."
Executive pay increased in many cases because councils were required to put more money into pension funds.
Rachel Jenkins, spokesperson for Stafford Borough Council, said: "The employer contributions went up from 17.8 per cent to 18.8 per cent, so this would account for the increase.
Further management savings will be achieved in 2013/14 as a result of the retirement of the deputy chief executive who will not be replaced."

We've done that to a limited extent. The VM license was the main limit, and we didn't have a customer requirement spend more time on it.

Define clear goals and pay attention to key institutional and technical factors for successful implementation of road pricing programs.
Experience from road pricing programs in Europe and Asia
London,England; Stockholm,Sweden; Singapore; Czech Republic; Germany; The Hague,Netherlands
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
Over a 12-day period, from December 7 to 18, 2009, a multidisciplinary scan team from the United States visited and interacted with the experts in Europe and Asia to develop an understanding of the institutional and technical factors that contributed to the successful implementation of road pricing. Major lessons learned are:
- Have a set of clearly defined goals. Host countries and regions with clearly defined and well-understood policy goals were able to achieve their targeted outcomes most effectively.
- Consider a large-scale demonstration project. A large-scale road-pricing demonstration project is a powerful tool for building public acceptance, allowing people to experience the benefits of congestion pricing.
- Measure the program performance. Thorough planning and performance measurement pay benefits in ensuring achievement of overall goals, managing the pricing program as an element of overall transportation system performance, and directing implementation and operations effectively.
- Link the pricing structure to user benefits. Linking the pricing structure to the benefits received by the user contributes to public acceptance and helps avoid the potential negative impacts of traffic diversion.
- Conduct an effective public outreach campaign. Public outreach and communications were key components of the program at every stage: before making the implementation decision, during the program design process, and during the operational phase.
- Implement an open-source system. Open-source system designs offer long-term advantages by leveraging market competition to manage implementation and operations costs, ensure system flexibility and scalability, and establish a foundation for system interoperability.
- Pay attention to interoperability. Interoperability among states and countries is recognized as a critical issue that needs to be addressed at high levels.
- Address equity and privacy concerns. Equity and privacy concerns are addressed by host countries through exemptions, revenue use, technology, and business rules.
- Integrate pricing program with transit investments and land use plan. The urban area pricing projects integrated public transit investments and land use planning to manage congestion.

Yahoo announces plans to encrypt all user data by early 2014
Yahoo will add encryption to all of its products, as well as internal communications by end of Q1 2014, CEO Marissa Mayer announced in a blog post. This comes less than a month after it was revealed by The Washington Post that the US National Security Agency (NSA) infiltrated the main communication links between Yahoo and Google centres located around the world. This gave the NSA the ability to collect information from hundreds of users' accounts. Former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden released documents that also suggested that the NSA was also collecting contact details of email users.

Fun Activities for Newborns!
While your new baby's activities probably consist mostly of eating and sleeping for the moment, there are lots of fun things you can do to entertain him and help him start to discover the world around him. When baby is awake and calm, you can try introducing him to games that will appeal to his brand new senses. Here are a few activities you can enjoy with your newborn:
Hear Although baby is too young to be able to hold a rattle on his own, you can still use one to introduce him to the world of sound. While baby is lying down, gently and carefully shake a rattle near one side of his head, outside of his view (don't get too close to the ears or it may be too loud for him). Stop abruptly, then shake again. Repeat a few times, watching baby's face to see if he perks up to the sound. If it catches his attention, repeat on the other side. More >

Sometimes I think I must live in Versailles, France. In my suburban America, shrubs and small trees are trimmed on a regular basis into balls and cones. Probably this is done to keep the plants in scale to their surroundings. Sometimes, it looks to be just something to do. Just like everything else, there is a time when this should be done and a time when it shouldn't.
I prefer to select plants that fit the site and naturally grow into the desired shape . When this is done at the design phase, then there is less maintenance required later in life. Like a conical evergreen? Select a Blue Point Juniper. Like a short round evergreen? Select a Dwarf Yaupon Holly or Carissa Holly. Like a natural small tree? Select a Yaupon Holly or Crape Myrtle.
Here you can see how natural the setting is when selective plants are allowed to grow in their natural growth habit. Trim plants as needed to accentuate their natural growth habit and to keep them in scale with the surroundings. The natural forms are wonderful to view throughout the seasons. This example is of a Deciduous Yaupon Holly. The berries of these plants are shown in all their glory after the leaves fall off in Autumn and hang on through the winter.
The berries are a draw for birds as they flock to the small trees seeking food.
Now to me, this is more pleasing than viewing a hedge trimmed lollipop shaped Yaupon stuck on the corner of a house looking like it came direct from Versailles.
