Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Sunday, November 4, 2012
Two Kansas legislators are urging state corrections officials to parole a convicted killer serving a life sentence for murdering a 75-year-old Topeka woman 31 years ago.
There may be others in the Legislature who think 63-year-old Ormond Wimberly Jr. is ready to re-enter society, but the Department of Corrections isn't releasing that information.
Wimberly was convicted of the 1981 death of Sarah Woody, who was shot five times during a robbery. Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor -- who adamantly opposes Wimberly's release -- says the inmate already was on parole for a previous murder when he killed Woody.
Republican Rep. John Grange and Democratic Sen. Oletha Foust-Goudeau wrote letters last month to the Prisoner Review Board in favor of granting Wimberly parole.

- localguyVIPDined on 11/21/2014On this visit to Thirsty Seven North we tried the Skirt Steak which was fantastic, the roasted oysters, which were moist and delicious and their special burger of the night, which came with two sides and all were very good. Our server was excellent and we look forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impressed our 1st time friendsSuziwilson10VIPDined on 11/7/2014We've been to 37N several times, but we took friends who had never been. They were really impressed and loved their meals. We tried several "snacks" and loved all of them (pimento cheese, okra, and Pretzles). As a table we had tuna, chef salad, scallops, and ribs and lots of good wine. It was a great night and we're all looking forward to coming in again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/30/2014One of my Favorite Spots - Always excellent food & service - Lots of produce from their own garden - In house cured meats & sausages You won't be disappointedSpecial Features:
- One of the Best in the BeachDKBrown37Dined on 10/29/2014Outstanding location and great choices on a fresh and exciting menu. Personalized service provided for my wife's Birthday with our best friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thirty 7 NorthskibumDined on 10/26/2014Farm to table restaurant. The menu has paired seasonal ingredients together. Seafood is sourced from local vendor. The restaurant has an extensive wine list. A glass enclosed wine room in the center of the restaurant, is a focal point. Great ambiance inside, some awesome paintings on the walls. We enjoyed our experience at Thirty7North. Dessert was tasty, but $10.00 for baked apples in a sugar sauce with a scoop of vanilla, just a little over priced. IMOSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All you could want!GloucesterDined on 10/19/2014All meals were outstanding--- Visual presentation, taste, quantity, quality and temperature. Service was attentive but not in your face---we never had to ask for water refills! Put this place on your list to try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WMGMCGVIPDined on 10/11/2014Have been to this resturant many times. We enjoy the food & service is outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Missed seeing JenAwesomeDined on 10/4/2014We enjoyed the food but sorry we missed seeing Jen the Sommelier. Hope the California trip was the best?Special Features:
- Chef's overkillBigPalateDined on 9/25/2014Concept is cool - like the farm to table. However, Chef needs to tone it down. We have wide palate but this chef ruins what would otherwise be great dishes with competing flavors. Example - crackers and pimento, both were good - but not together. Too strong flavors fighting with each other. Same issue with truffle fries. Tuna just wasn't cooked right. All that said, filet was awesome.
- Heavily saltedKenSDined on 9/20/2014Everyone in our group of four noted that their entrée was heavily salted. One had ordered shrimp & grits (the others ordered the flounder special), and specifically asked that the shrimp NOT be blackened. They were not blackened, but were salty, too. I'm confident that, if we had brought this to our server's attention, they would have replaced the entrees, but we did not want to wait, so we ate.Special Features:
- DisappointingVBfolksVIPDined on 9/19/2014While the service was excellent the menu was just OK and the wine list gets more expensive. The menu changes frequently and we hope for more creativity in the future. We are frequent diners here so this visit was just a bit disappointing. Not ready to give up.Special Features:
- Delightful experience...TimHDined on 9/6/2014Our first time dining at this restaurant. My wife and I were thoroughly impressed, from beginning to end. Finding a restaurant of this quality that concentrates on using food from the local area was a treat. From the house specialty drinks to the main course, it was a special evening.
- Excellent mealJamesMDined on 9/5/2014We had dinner last Friday and everything was very good and we left happy with our over-all experience. We had some chef creations for appetizers and I was very impressed. Fresh Rockfish for main entrée and that was excellent as well. I recommend 37 North for anyone that wants an up-scale meal with a very nice atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- localguyVIPDined on 8/29/2014We had the pan seared flounder and it was cooked to perfection, however we do wish the fish came with a type of sauce. Our side dishes were delicious and our server was outstanding. We do look forward to our next visit.Special Features:
- Delectable! Great local restaurant!lisaodcDined on 8/24/2014We loved the ambiance, service and most importantly, the food was outstanding! The fried tempura shrimp was fresh and perfectly done. The ability to order just how many you would like is almost unheard of! Pretzel bites and fried pickles were delicious. We all were very impressed with our meal selections. I've ordered chicken at most restaurants, however the "Yard Bird" was smoked with a wonderful maple glaze that made it moist and succulent! The steaks were perfectly done and fried flounder was crisp on outside and moist on the inside. So, all in all, our new favorite restaurant in VaBch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This place has it all!ChrisDined on 8/23/2014My family & I went to 37 North the other night for dinner.We have kids & thought that the outside deck would be a fun place for them and it was!While our son enjoyed walking along the docks to look for fish & our daughter teetered along the deck to check out the scenery.Our server was prompt & very knowledgeable.My friend wanted a 'bitter tasting' liquor to settle her stomach but couldn't remember the name of it.The bartender whipped up a cocktail of Campari, gin & sweet vermouth & she said "that's exactly what I was looking for".We were thoroughly impressed!THEN came the food & it knocked our socks off-the salmon was pan seared to perfection & the crabcakes were the best I have ever eaten & I have eaten MANY!Cheers to 37 North!Special Features:
- Great Location, Food, ServiceSmithIsland26Dined on 8/15/2014This was our second visit to Thirty 7 North during a trip to VA Beach (in order to celebrate a birthday). We loved our first visit so much that we decided to return before the end of our trip. The servers are very knowledgeable in explaining specials, providing recommendations, and being friendly. Another added touch is it is a true "farm to table" restaurant and the quality of their food reflects it. Great appetizers include the oysters, pretzel bites, and the tuna poke. Their chef also prepares little finger foods to sample (ie ham and tomatoes, fresh chips and tuna). Their ribs were excellent (both times)! Great deserts include the Peach Cobbler and Malted Cheesecake. We had a great time and we look forward to returning in the future!Special Features:
- Good food, poor serviceWineloverVIPDined on 8/14/2014Once again, the food and drinks are great! But service does not meet the high end quality of the place. When I asked what the happy hour wines were, the blond at the bar said "white and red." Seriously? At a place with THAT wine list? I asked her to be more specific. She went and got the bottle and told me it was actually a sauvignon blanc. I looked at the bottle, and it was a vinho verde!!! Are you kidding me? Then our waiter forgot to tell us about some of the specials and appetizers. We asked him what the muffins were, and he said merlot. Turns out they were sweet potato, berry, and fennel! His timing was off bringing out appetizers; I had to wait for mine while my friends had theirs. Hire a head waiter and do better training!Special Features:
- Outstanding!MudhenDined on 8/12/2014One of the best meals we have had in a long time. The "wedge" salad variation was very different from the traditional version, but was quite enjoyable. Separate hot and cold treatments on romaine instead of iceberg lettuce. My entree was the second-best yellow fin tuna steak I have ever had (the best was in Lahaina, but maybe the sunset influenced that one.) My wife had her usual beef tenderloin, cooked perfectly. My dessert was a blueberry cheesecake variation that was a bit unusual to look at but really delivered the flavor. Service was excellent, and not hurried. I like the fact that the menu is limited to a few entree choices and changes regularly. We will definitely be heading back.Special Features:
- outstandingScottDined on 8/8/2014We had guests in from out of town and wanted someplace nice and impressive to take them to. We have been to Thirty 7 North before and liked it, so we took them there. The food from start to finish was nothing short of outstanding, as was the service. It also has an extensive wine list at every price point. Definitely worth the price whether you have guest or are going by yourselves.Special Features:
- bobbi831Dined on 8/8/2014We had a great evening of dining. The waitress made great meal suggestions and everything was fantastic. All of the staff were extremely attentive and friendly. We loved everything about it and cannot wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BoatmanDined on 8/2/2014Dined on a Sat. night. Service and food both great. Crab cakes over succotash were awesome as was the shrimp appetizer. Tuna was fresh and they got the temperature right. They have a very good craft beer menu and excellent wine list. Many local farms and seafood purveyors are represented with organic vegetables used in most dishes. Management appears to be experienced and the staff friendly and efficient. We will return.Special Features:
- The following 220 reviews are from the Thirty 7 North Restaurant & Bar reviews archive.
- Fantastic, locally sourced menu!OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/26/2014After a brief hiatus from 37 North, we returned and were impressed with the variety and quality of the snacks, apps, and entrées. Delicious!Special Features:
- localguyVIPDined on 7/25/2014We had the steak and snapper for dinner but the most delicious thing we had was the fried shrimp appetizer. Next time I think we will have that as our entree since you are paying by the shrimp. The snapper was a little dry but they provided us a sauce to compensate for that issue. The steak was very good. As usual the service was outstanding.Special Features:
- DissapointedpastoreatsDined on 7/24/2014The service was slow and the pace of the meal was slow. I was very dissapointed in the serving size. I ordered the sweet potato gnocci and it was smaller than the appetizer. The pork belly was undercooked. I probably would not go back because of the serving size.Special Features:
- Love the Mixologist DrinksBeachluvDined on 7/19/2014We love the fusion menu and unique and diverse mix of farm foods. SpectacularSpecial Features:
- Always a treatOutstandingDined on 7/15/2014Went there for our wedding anniversary and we are never disappointed when we visit. Thirty 7 North has become our go to place for special occasions. We want to return to check out the happy hour events on another visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/11/2014Outstanding food and service! Would recommend Thirty7 North to anyone looking for a far-from-usual meal in a distinctive atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- localguyVIPDined on 6/27/2014We had a lovely dinner of filet and ribs. Everyone was pleased with their entrees. The sides were delicious and the service was excellent. We look foward to our next visit.Special Features:
- Disappointed but we will try again.branmadeVIPDined on 6/21/2014My family had 8pm reservations Sat night. We were seated quickly but unfortunately thats where the good service ended. The waitress was friendly but slow to greet, bring drinks, take orders, etc. We had been there 20+ min before our dinner order was taken. That said we ordered and then waited and waited - no food. The manager came out to us and said there was a mixup in the kitchen and that they had to remake our food. About 1.5+ hours after we were seated (over an hour after we ordered dinner) we decided dinner wasn't worth waiting for. The manager was very apologetic, didn't charge us for the appetizers and drinks and even gave us a generous gift card to come back. We will try it again. The food (we had) & ambiance is worth another shotSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceScottDined on 6/7/2014My wife had the ribs and said they were the best and most generous portion she had gotten recently. They also provided a hot wet towel (a real one, not one wrapped in packet) to help her clean her hands. Her slaw and potato salad sides were right sized and excellent. I had the burger which was very tasty, fires which were done perfectly and an outstanding side of brussel sprouts. Nobody does them better. The wine is list is huge and encompassing both in variety and price. Our red wine came slightly chilled, as it is supposed to be served, quite (unfortunately) unusual in most restaurants. The service was excellent. Our server Darren was helpful and personable and didn't hover or ignore us. He could give classes on how serve.Special Features:
- Always Exceptional!OutstandingDined on 5/22/2014Each and every time that we go to Thirty 7 North, we thoroughly enjoy it! The food is outstanding and the service is fantastic. It is fast becoming one of our go to places in Virginia Beach.Special Features:
- Great decor and friendly serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 5/19/2014Service was very slow but friendly. They were out of the first 3 items we tried to order. It was not busy so hopefully they get it worked out before it gets busy. Super nice people and delicious food just don't go there of you aren't feeling like lingering.Special Features:
- love the brunchamandaDined on 5/18/2014Great bloody mary bar...with their own infused vodkas's. Brunch was delish!Special Features:
- Mother's Day Dinner1MustgoDined on 5/11/2014Our service exceeded our expectations. The kids menu provided the same attention to detail as the regular menu. It seemed like the entire wait-staff was our own. All very curious and professional. I can't wait to go back, the food was even better than the service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant!BeachhokieDined on 5/11/2014The food is fantastic every time that we come here and the Bloody Mary bar is one of the best in town. We have brought friends here from out of town and they raved about the place too - a nice locals restaurant on the water!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice findMarkVIPDined on 5/11/2014We were visiting my son from out of town and found this on open table. A very pleasant experience, very nice layout, open and airy, inventive food, tables not too close together. I will be back the next time we are in town.Special Features:
- localguyVIPDined on 5/3/2014We had a delicious filet that was flavorful and tender. I highly recommend it. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We look forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AnniversaryVBFOODIEDined on 4/29/2014We have been wanting to try 37N for quite some time now so we decided that our anniversary would be the time for the visit. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was great. The wine list is amazing and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We own a restaurant in Virginia Beach and are very happy that 37N is doing such a great job. Our hats go off to the Chef Jamie! Don't let your pastry chef leave..I mean ever! Her desserts were the best in town!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A well-known musician and teacher, Mr. Charnow died Nov. 27, 2010 at the age of 68.
In 1971, he began teaching music at Chabot College in Hayward, and ended his career there as Dean of Humanities, retiring in 2000. He and his wife Judy, who taught Spanish and French at Amador Valley High School from 1978 until retiring in 2001, lived in Pleasanton before moving to Placerville when he retired.
Chabot will also host a reception from 5-7 p.m. with proceeds going to fund scholarships for deserving Chabot College music students. Honored guests at the reception will be Mr. Elliott's family, traveling from Placerville, Clovis and Los Angeles.
Tickets are $10 for the concert only and $50 for the concert and reception. Write "Elliott Charnow Music Scholarship" in the memo section of the check. Contributions are tax deductible. For more information contact Catherine Powell at (510) 723-6829 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mr. Charnow was survived by his wife Judy; son Steve Charnow (Ashley) of Clovis; daughter Diana Charnow Gonter (Lou) of Placerville; five grandchildren; and his sister Sheila Alperstein (Glenn) of Woodland Hills.

I'm trying to understand it all, could you please review my calculation and see if I am doing it correctly?
Ok, I will attempt to calc [item]Destroyer Shoulderguards[/item] vs. [item]Warbringer Shoulderguards[/item].
Ok I begin with Warbringer. For a point of reference I say I have 16000 armor including wearing the Warbringer Shoulderguards. According to the chart in the EH Theory thread, 16000 armor translates into 2.51 ELPH.
So to value my Warbringer, which has 38stamina base, I multiply 38*2.51=95.38.
Then, I see the armor difference from Warbringer to Destroyer, it is 118 armor.
Now I plug into formula, M = 16118/[16118+10557.5] = .604.
Next I plug into formula, LPS = 1/[1-0.604] = 2.527
Now I can value Destroyer, which has 44 sta, by multiplying 2.527*44= 111.17.
Is this even near correct?
Does the value of Block, Defence, Dodge, Parry, etc weigh into Effective Health at all?

I just did a big kitchen clean-up to get rid of the cluster of stuff I thought I had to have. One big item I got rid of was my bread machine. Although I use it all the time to mix and keep my dough warm, I have never once baked in it. Seems silly, really. I have a beautiful standing mixer that can mix bread dough just fine (even better, actually), so I'm taking my precious counter space back and tossing the bread machine!

Monday Meal Review: Belize
Recipe: Stew Chicken from Belize
Serves 2-4 Although there are many variations on Stew Chicken, most traditional recipes keep it simple - just chicken, red recado, onion, and water. I added bell pepper, Habanero, and lime juice because this variation seems a little more lively. Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken (I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs because I didn't want all the work of a whole chicken this time) 1/2 cup red recado (see recipe) 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 Habanero, optional a splash … [Read more...]
Recipe: Johnny Cakes
Makes about 8 Johnny Cakes are like dense biscuits with a mild coconut flavor. In Belize they are often enjoyed in the morning with a slice of melted cheese, eggs, and sausage. They are also wonderful served under Stew Chicken where they wick up the delicious broth.

It would be interesting to see an update to this page as some areas had their FTTC enabled in early February 2014. I also find that my ISP shows that FTTC is available based on my postcode but that the cabinet in the street has not been upgraded yet. Also according to the BT Openreach website FTTC is scheduled to be available in 2014 and yet the interactive map only shows projected availability as 2017.
I appreciate you are only a small team but keeping a website like this updated is really important to avoid being inundated with emails and information requests.
Posted by | March 3, 2014, 10:45 am
Is there a roll-out plan yet? Or dates for various post codes?

Can we assume that the prefered bidder has been confirmed as only one bidder completed the process?

Getting to Foolproof
by david reich
New legal standards, DNA, and the potential of brain mapping fuel a revolution in scientific evidence.
On January 7 a judge in Philadelphia issued a ruling, and for the first
months of this year it was the talk of the courts, with words like "sea
change" and "revolution" echoing in the marble halls. Then the
judge reversed himself.
The case was US v. Llera Plaza, a run-of-the-mill drug conspiracy. But District Court Judge Louis Pollak's initial response was anything but run of the mill. He excluded certain testimony by an expert in fingerprint identification, long the gold standard for physical evidence in criminal trials, ruling that the expert could testify to similarities between the suspect's fingerprints and fingerprints lifted from a crime scene, but could not offer his conclusions about whether the two sets of fingerprints "matched."
Pollak's opinion was the latest, and perhaps the most spectacular, in a series of rulings that go back to 1993 and the US Supreme Court case Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, which set a new test for admissibility of scientific testimony. Since then, long-accepted forensic methods have been successfully challenged in trial and appeals courts, and many lawyers are predicting more challenges soon. Meanwhile, DNA testing has taken its place as the new gold standard for scientific evidence, helping undermine confidence not only in some old forensic methods but also in the accuracy of eyewitness perceptions-and in the justice system generally. An even more impressive technology looms on the horizon, a futuristic device that maps the brain. While still some years away from being ready to apply to legal cases, it could be the basis for a nearly foolproof lie detector.
Pollak wrote in his opinion that fingerprint identifications can't be tested or replicated; the discipline is so subjective, he found, that different experts can and often do draw different conclusions about whether two sets of fingerprints match. He also pointed out that the methods used by fingerprint experts have never been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and that the error-rate for fingerprint identification has never been established.
Pollak was applying the US Supreme Court's Daubert standard. Since the Supreme Court's Daubert ruling, many state courts, including those in Massachusetts, have adopted similar or identical standards.
Daubert replaced a standard, called the Frye test, which, since the 1920s had required federal judges to admit the testimony of any expert whose methods were widely accepted in his or her field of expertise. In some cases Frye could be too permissive and in others too restrictive, says Professor Mark Brodin, who teaches a course on evidence at Boston College Law School. On the one hand, Frye excluded new techniques that were perfectly reliable but had yet to gain acceptance. On the other, it allowed in pseudoscience. "If you went to a convention of astrologers and asked if your birth date could determine your fate, everyone would say yes," says Brodin. So, astrological testimony was technically admissible under Frye. The Daubert standard, in contrast, was more reasonable and flexible, asking judges to weigh the factors Pollak mentioned in his written opinion-peer-reviewed publication, a known (and acceptably low) error rate, and the replicability of the expert's methods-in addition to whether the expert's methods are widely accepted in his or her field. Astrological evidence, presumably, doesn't meet the Daubert standard.
For so technical a legal matter, Pollak's opinion received a lot of notice, with stories in national media such as the Associated Press and National Public Radio. And, of course, the news moved through the legal grapevine. Defense lawyers like Scott Lopez '86 saw the ruling as a sign that long-accepted but suspect forensic methods could be successfully challenged in court. A few days before Pollak's self-reversal, Lopez was declaring his intention to challenge fingerprints in a pending case, if the case went to trial.
Maybe it was all the publicity-and the resulting alarm in police agencies and prosecutor's offices-that prompted Pollak's change of heart. The opinion that accompanied his self-reversal, issued March 13, makes much of the fact that the fingerprint experts proposing to testify in US v. Llera Plaza work for and were trained by the FBI. While fingerprint identifications by other agencies' experts may not satisfy the Daubert standard, Pollak writes in the new opinion, identifications by FBI experts do.
Brodin wonders. "I get very skeptical whenever a judge reverses himself," he says. "From my point of view he was overly impressed with testimony from the FBI about the accuracy of their own methods. I can't help but be suspicious that [Pollak] felt pressure from prosecutorial authorities. My surmise is that he was getting some heat."
Is Pollak's self-reversal the sign of a waning revolution or just a minor setback? In part it depends, in Brodin's words, on "whether other judges are going to follow [Pollak's] first opinion or his second opinion."
But only in part. Well before Pollak's headline-grabbing ruling in January, other judges had been using Daubert to exclude traditional forensic techniques. In 1999, for instance, Judge Nancy Gertner, of the federal district court in Boston, issued a ruling Pollak used as a model for his first opinion. She allowed a handwriting expert to testify to similarities between a defendant's handwriting and the writing on a robbery note but ruled out any testimony about whether the two writing samples came from the same person. In 1995, another federal trial court judge, Frank Seay, of Oklahoma, used Daubert to exclude the testimony of a hair identification expert. And last year the Supreme Court of South Carolina, using its own state's Daubert-like test, reversed a conviction in a murder case because it depended on an expert's testimony that impressions found on a shoe insole were consistent with the defendant's feet. Even before Daubert, in 1991, Spencer Letts, a federal judge in California, excluded fingerprint evidence from a criminal trial under the considerably more lenient Frye test, commenting in court that "the expertise [of fingerprint examiners] is as fragile as [for] any group I've heard hold themselves out as experts."
Observers of the legal scene predict that, as criminal and civil defense lawyers grow more conscious of Daubert and the power it places in their hands, other long-accepted kinds of evidence will go the way of the insole impression. "Fringe experts like guys who testify about how people steal cars, they're going to get slapped," says Scott Lopez. "So will human-factors experts who testify [in premises liability cases] that you have to put certain types of padding on steps or else people will trip."
Longtime public defender Paul McManus, who coaches BC Law's mock trial team, says he expects to see judges exclude testimony about defendants' future dangerousness. "How," he asks rhetorically, "do you devise an error rate for something like that?"
Though Robert Goodale '82 has spent most of his career as a prosecutor, he welcomes Judge Gertner's ruling on handwriting analysis and predicts other judges will follow suit. "If Ronald Reagan's economics were voodoo economics, handwriting analysis is voodoo science," Goodale says.
Meanwhile, veteran Boston criminal defense lawyer Norman Zalkind foresees challenges to all sorts of traditional forensic methods: hair analysis, the paraffin test, ballistics tests, the breathalyzer. "In the twenty-first century, technology is so much more developed than in the first three-quarters of the twentieth century," he says. "They're going to go back and have another look at all of these."
In an interesting twist of history, as Daubert excludes old forensic methods such as hair analysis, a new method has come along to take their place: DNA testing. As methods improve, it is a factor in more and more criminal cases. Nowadays experts can extract DNA from smaller and smaller specimens and not only from blood and semen, as before, but also from hair, saliva, and skin.
DNA testing, even more than Daubert, has had a sweeping-some would say revolutionary-impact on the justice system. For one thing, it has transformed the way the system resolves many criminal cases. "Cases used to be gray, but with DNA, they're black and white," says defense lawyer Zalkind. And McManus contends that if a DNA test excludes a defendant as the source of the DNA, the prosecution will not go forward. End of case.
Defendants whose DNA matches crime-scene DNA can certainly plead things such as insanity or self-defense. In a rape case, they can argue that the sex was consensual. But a positive test at least, in McManus's words, "forecloses the 'I wasn't there' defense."
Most often, a positive test leads to a plea bargain, Zalkind says, even in cases that before DNA might have looked good for the defendant. In one of his own cases, for example, "the victim claimed her father was the father of her child," says Zalkind. "She had a history of emotional problems and making false accusations, but this time DNA proved her right. Years ago, this would have been an easy case for a defendant. Not anymore. You can't cross-examine DNA."
Zalkind's client pleaded out. Generally, defendants whose DNA tests are positive do a lot of time. Prosecutors, knowing the positive test almost guarantees conviction at trial, don't have much incentive to make generous offers in exchange for a guilty plea. Nevertheless, says veteran prosecutor Goodale, some prosecutors mistrust DNA testing, suspecting that tests have been manipulated by defendant-friendly scientific labs-an idea Goodale himself admits is "probably paranoia."
Other effects of DNA testing have been even more significant than the changes in the structure of criminal cases. Using DNA testing, for example, defense lawyers like those at the Innocence Project of New York City's Cardozo Law School, have secured the release of more than 100 innocent men and women convicted of crimes such as rape and murder. (For information on BC Law's involvement with the Innocence Project, see sidebar following this article.) Many of those freed have been death row inmates. In fact, between the middle 1970s and 1999, eighty death row inmates in the US were released from prison, based on DNA-testing and other methods, compared to 553 inmates executed-an astonishing proportion that raises major questions about the justice system.
"There's always been a lack of confidence in the jury system by the defense bar," says public defender McManus. "We've always had innocent guys get convicted. I've seen it happen to my clients, and it's heart-rending. So it's been good for other people to see that it's not just defense lawyers saying the sky is falling. Now there's hard evidence that the system makes mistakes, and it makes mistakes in the most serious cases."
This knowledge has helped effect a small but distinct erosion in public support for the death penalty, which turns mistakes into permanent mistakes. "It's very encouraging," says McManus, who opposes capital punishment. "Opinion polls have shown a majority favoring an end to the death penalty if the alternative is a life sentence without the possibility of parole, though that may have changed since September 11."
In addition to moving the polling numbers on capital punishment, cases taken up by the Innocence Project have shed light on problems such as police misconduct (involved in thirty-eight of the project's first seventy successful cases); prosecution misconduct (thirty-four cases); ineffective counsel (twenty-three cases); false testimony by jailhouse informants (sixteen cases); and false confessions extracted using psychological pressure tactics (fifteen cases). Certain forensic methods, too-including some being attacked under Daubert-have contributed to many of the faulty convictions.
In the conviction of innocent people who were later freed by DNA, mistaken eyewitness identification has proven to be the biggest problem. According to the Innocence Project, inaccurate eyewitness testimony contributed to the original guilty verdicts in sixty-one of the project's first seventy successful cases-a whopping 87 percent of them.
This probably comes as no surprise to psychologists such as Elizabeth Loftus of the University of Washington, who, for twenty-five years, has been called as an expert witness in cases where eyewitness memories may have been degraded by stress or time, or tainted by police investigators. Decades of psychological research, described in Loftus's book Eyewitness Testimony, have shown, for example, that if a crime involves a weapon, the witnesses' vision tends to focus on the weapon rather than on the perpetrator, thus reducing their ability to accurately identify the perpetrator; that in lineups where the true suspect isn't present, witnesses, feeling pressure to come up with results, will often identify the person in the lineup who most closely resembles the perpetrator. Research has also found that "nonexistent objects can be introduced into people's recollections" by asking them suggestive questions; that witnesses' identifications of a person of a different race are less accurate than their identifications of a person of their own race; and that the certainty with which a witness identifies a suspect in court testimony has no correlation with the accuracy of the identification. Finally, even faced with problems like these, juries put more stock in eyewitness testimony than in almost any other kind of evidence.
Goodale agrees that eyewitness testimony is extremely fallible. "The defense has always been able to make those arguments, to say that [the witness] was under stress" during the commission of a crime and thus may not remember details accurately. But now defense lawyers can back up their argument with a DNA test.
What is more, says Loftus, the DNA exonerations, and the problems they revealed with eyewitness testimony spurred the US Department of Justice to issue guidelines on handling eyewitnesses for the country's police agencies. Authored by a committee of defense lawyers, prosecutors, police, and psychologists (including Loftus collaborator Gary Wells of Iowa State University), the 1999 guidelines include such common-sense advice as asking open-ended questions ("What did the car look like?" instead of "Was the car green?") and making sure "fillers" in a lineup somewhat resemble the actual suspect. (Wells's section of the Iowa State University website shows a photo of an actual lineup where the suspect is African American and all the fillers are Latinos!) "Police departments are almost going to have to [follow the guidelines] because in court cases, defense attorneys are going to bring up the deviations from those guidelines," Loftus says.
Not all jurisdictions-perhaps not even many-have adopted the new guidelines yet, but some, like the New Jersey State Police, have not only accepted them but gone farther, adopting advanced techniques like the double-blind, sequential lineup, in which a suspect and fillers are shown to the witness one at a time, by police officers who themselves don't know which member of the lineup is the actual suspect. According to psychologists, this reduces pressure on the witness to come up with a positive identification, and prevents police from inadvertently-or deliberately-tipping off the witness.
Not surprisingly, given the polling data, reverberations from the Innocence Project have reached beyond the courts and police precincts, to the halls of government. Public dismay at the death sentences given to innocent people in Illinois forced Governor George Ryan to stop executions, at least until problems with the courts can be solved. On the national level, US Rep. William Delahunt '67 (D-MA) authored a bill, The Innocence Protection Act, to help death row inmates get DNA testing--this currently costs around $8,000. Introduced three years ago, the bill also sets new standards for public defenders and gives states money to help them meet the standards. While the first part of the bill aims to expose past wrongful convictions, the second part aims to prevent such convictions in the future, according to the congressman's press secretary, Steve Schwadron. Before his election to the House, Delahunt put in twenty-two years as a prosecutor, Schwadron says, and "no one knows better than prosecutors that prosecutors goof sometimes. The difference [with a capital case] is that the consequence of an error is so permanent."
Though the bill isn't scheduled for a hearing, Schwadron predicts eventual passage. He says that because of intensive personal lobbying by Delahunt and US Rep. Ray LaHood (R-IL), the bill has accumulated 200 co-sponsors from both sides of the capital punishment debate. "I don't think there's another piece of legislation other than naming post offices that has 200-plus co-sponsors," Schwadron says. "The last thing a death penalty proponent wants is for an innocent person to be executed while a guilty person goes free to kill again."
BC Law Professor Josephine Ross is one of a handful of Massachusetts lawyers preparing the way for Delahunt's bill by lobbying state legislators for companion legislation. Ross and the others would like to see a state law that insures the preservation of biological evidence; sets up testing mechanisms and allocates money for the tests; and offers automatic compensation for people released after wrongful convictions.
One irony is worth noting here. By casting doubt on old verdicts, DNA testing has so far proved a boon to death penalty opponents--who are among testing's most vocal supporters--but it may damage their cause in the long run. As DNA testing becomes increasingly common, public confidence in verdicts can only increase, Professor Brodin predicts. "The risk in my mind is that that softens opposition to the death penalty."
Professor Dean Hashimoto, a colleague of Brodin, concurs that despite the effect of DNA testing on recent polls, it won't help end capital punishment. In 1986 Hashimoto clerked for US Supreme Court Justice William Brennan and shares his view "that someday we will change on that issue, but it will be for moral reasons and social reasons, not for reasons of accuracy."
Even if DNA and Daubert do add up to a revolution, another development
in the pipeline-- brain-mapping technology, which provides a three-dimensional
picture of the brain--may end up dwarfing their effects on the justice system.
Hashimoto, who is a physician as well as a lawyer, says this technology has
advanced to such a point that, in a recent study of adolescents, researchers
claimed to have used brain mapping to distinguish between feelings of love and
those of lust. If they're right, he says, future advances may allow us to tell
"what the brain looks like when someone is lying, what metabolites appear
in what areas of the brain when someone is feeling guilty." If that happens,
Hashimoto predicts brain mapping could be "a foolproof or near-foolproof
lie detector. Some people say that five years from now, it will be beyond the
research stage. Other people say twenty years. But it's a matter of time."
Of course this will mean huge Fourth and Fifth Amendment, as well as Daubert, issues. "Courts will have to sort out the circumstances under which individuals can be required to submit to such a test," says Brodin.
Hashimoto says that on the one hand, "juries may develop the expectation of having those results, and if they don't, wondering why a defendant wasn't willing to provide that kind of evidence. So the question is whether you should allow it in at all." On the other hand, "it would be hard not to allow in this evidence. The accused has the right to defend his case, and if [brain mapping] turns out to be very probative, how could you deny a defendant the right to take the test?"
The effects of brain mapping could reach beyond questions of mere truthfulness; it might also be used to identify disease or genetic abnormalities. "An important piece of evidence in [Ronald Reagan assailant] John Hinckley's case was a CAT scan, which, according to his defense attorney, showed that Hinckley was schizophrenic," Hashimoto says. The new technology, with its 3-D color images, makes CAT scan results look almost primitive. "You can imagine what an impact that technology, combined with expert testimony, could have on a jury."
Hashimoto thinks that even DNA testing may hold further surprises, envisioning its use, for instance, in toxic tort cases, to distinguish the effects of an environmental toxin from diseases caused by random or genetic effects.
In short, the revolution may have barely begun.
As Brodin puts it, "Given the advances in science we're seeing, are people fifty years from now going to look at evidence we're using today and say it's no better than astrology?"
David Reich is a regular contributor to BC Law Magazine. He last wrote about the late novelist George Higgins.
Students Use DNA to Help the Innocent
Though it opened its doors barely two years ago, the New England Innocence Project (NEIP), has already secured DNA-based exonerations for four men serving time in Massachusetts prisons, a result due in part to the work of interns such as BC Law student Nicole Vitrano '03.
One of three BC Law students involved in the project, Vitrano is working on a number of cases at various stages of development. She reads transcripts and motions from NEIP clients' trials, looks into the existence of DNA evidence that might lead to a client's exoneration, and visits crime labs to evaluate the evidence. She also writes up cases and presents them to the project's case review committee, a group of area lawyers and law professors (including BC Law's Josephine Ross) who determine which cases the project's pro bono lawyers should take.
"Generally speaking, the students are the heart and soul of the project. They're really our only investigators." says attorney Seth Rodner of the Boston law firm Testa Hurwitz & Thibeault, where NEIP is headquartered. The local branch is one of several offshoots of Cardozo Law School's Innocence Project that have sprung up in various regions of the country.
"Reading the transcripts has helped me get a better understanding of trial work-how attorneys create arguments and how judges rule on these arguments. It's also interesting to see that our system has been flawed in some ways," says Vitrano.
"The most rewarding part is that I'm part of this team that's helping to correct it."

For Reels
Sunday Film News Roundup — August 14th, 2011
As the crazy days of summer draw to a close, with the tentpole pictures mostly behind us, we're starting to get a lot more choice in what to go see again.
This weekend saw openings of Final Destination 5, The Help, Another Earth, The Devil's Double, Glee 3D and 30 Minutes or Less not to mention the two-night engagement of The Troll Hunter at the Enzian.
Of course, of all of those freshmen releases it was sophomore Planet of the Apes that came out on top of the box office this weekened. Maybe we don't want more choice? Or maybe we just really are still this crazy about monkeys.
The bigger question of the week, I think, is "why didn't more people go see Glee 3D?" Are people who watch religiously on television embarrassed to go out in public because someone they know who was seeing Planet of the Apes might see them and find out their secret? For shame, Gleeks, for shame.
Okay, enough of my babbling and on to the links.
-Kirk Douglas wrote a really moving letter to Vanity Fair in reply to Christopher Hitchen's article about losing his voice to cancer.
-Be sure to thank Howard Stern for that pirate copy of Super 8 you probably already downloaded.
-The London riots took out a warehouse full of indie film DVDs. Stupid, worthless yobs.
-How can you make a list of bad Southern accents without a Natalie Portman mention and expect it to be credible? You can't, that's how. (Though, those are some bad accents and it should have been the entire cast of True Blood — nevermind how bad Glee is, how can you people watch that awful shit? I know, tits and abs. But still.)
-Let us forget about True Blood with some delicious shit: the 30 best filmmaker-on-filmmaker insults. A lot of it comes from one interview with Vincent Gallo where he shit all over everyone and everything, including Francis Ford Coppola, who he later worked with on Tetro (though before the interview was released).
-The first line in this article from the Telegraph about prequels is completely wrong. Prequels and sequels are not Hollywood's way of not thinking, they're Hollywood's way of avoiding all possible risk. Conversely, it's risky films that end up winning at the box office. Hollywood executives aren't dumb, they're just abject cowards who would be ridden out of town on a rail by Selznick, Cohn, Meyer and the Warner Brothers. I've never watched Inspector Morse, so the rest of the article doesn't interest me. I just wanted to bitch about the spineless executives who hold us hostage for our entertainment dollars.
-Speaking of executives and the stupid things they do, The Hollywood Reporter has a behind the scenes of Frank Darabont's ouster from The Walking Dead on AMC. The cost of the Maalox alone because of this article is probably eating heavily into the 30% tax credit that AMC is — reportedly — pocketing.
-Hey, I liked the first Bridget Jones movie. It was extremely charming, and Hugh Grant played, probably, his best devil character outside of About a Boy. But the second one was one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever seen. Surely the world does not need a third one. Speaking of needless sequels, I'm just going to pretend the fourth Austin Powers movie isn't happening.
-Here is a funny little post on Kevin Costner's scorekeeping in Field of Dreams. I get the urge to yell NERRRRRRRDS like Ogre at the beginning of Revenge of the Nerds after reading this, but it's still fun.
-Not film related, but Francis Bean Cobain is the It Girl of fashion models right now? Apparently everyone who tweets about fashion is tweeting up a storm, which explains why it took me a week to hear about it in the NYT. This is one of those surreal moments in life where you realize how fucking old you really are. (Mine and Justin's birthdays are both next month if anyone wants to buy us some Seconal and a bottle of Dasani.)
-The Lone Ranger is no more, after Disney pulled the plug on the $230+m adaptation starring Johnny Depp and a singular Armie Hammer.
-Morgan Spurlock interviews possible artists, possible fraud Mr. Brainwash about his feelings on Exit Through the Giftshop in this short video.
-Is Elena Anaya (Room in Rome, Sex & Lucia) Pedro Almadovar's new muse? She stars in his upcoming The Skin that I Inhabit.
-Trust me, NY Republican Peter King wasn't worried about special ops methods being outed in Katherine Bigelow's upcoming Seal Team 6 movie, he's worried that the film opens a month before the election and some people will remember that bin Laden is still dead and who gave the order.
-It's very unlike Criterion, but they've already announced three of their November titles (well, five of their November titles, really) between email and Facebook. Look for a DVD/Blu upgrade of Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game, a DVD/Blu upgrade of Wes Anderson's Rushmore and Krzysztof Kieślowski's The Three Colors Trilogy box set on DVD/Blu to be announced monday.
-Rumor has it that Giuseppe De Santis's Bitter Rice and Alfonso Cuarón's Y Tu Mama Tambien will be the other two announcements as well.
-Like they did with Solaris, Criterion are also having a sale on the remaining stock of The Rules of the Game DVDs if you use the promotion code REGLE at the official Criterion store.
-While we're on the subject, fucking release In the Moon for Love on Bluray already, Criterion, or give up the rights so someone else can.
-So, the Reek-O-Vision gimmick for Spy Kids 4 will just be a scratch and sniff card handed out with your glasses. Really. Please boycott this.
-The Guardian has the exclusive We Need to Talk about Kevin trailer. Looks goddamn creepy, but I have to say that I'm not all that impressed with the pullquote from the author of the book, calling it a brilliant adaptation. Dude, seriously.
-The guys over at wongkarwai.net have the first full trailer of Wong Kar Wai's The Grand Master, starring Little Tony Leung. Trying not to get prematurely excited for this because it's probably still 8 months to a year, if not longer, from coming out over here.
-Here is a longer trailer for Like Crazy. Becoming somewhat worried that they are revisiting the really bland Anton Yelchin/Jennifer Lawrence relationship that began in The Beaver. I don't mean to sound so anti-Jennifer Lawrence on this blog, but it boggles my mind that it's the same girl in Winter's Bone as it is in all of the other movies she's in. Speaking of Yelchin, though, everything about him changed when I was reading his IMDb page and saw that he was the kid who wouldn't show Larry the magic trick on Curb Your Enthusiasm a few seasons ago, when he was like 14. (Something similar happened while I was in Denver and pointed out to someone both that Elijah Wood was in Back to the Future II and Toby Maguire was in The Wizard. Mind. Blown.)
-Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogan in 50/50.
-Here is the trailer for Andrew Niccol's In Time, starring Justin Timberlake and Cilian Murphy. It has a similar feel to it as Gattaca, though it was the calm, unruffled perfection of Gattaca's atmosphere that I liked so much.
-Finally, Bert and Ernie: not riding the hobby horse together, even though they legally could.

I've been running OSX 10.5 for a long time. The simple fact is that Apple changed a lot of stuff under the hood with the last OS update - lot of spanky new APIs that make it easier to build applications. Less code to write/support = better software.
I'm assuming they will have to write/support a fair amount more code to get 10.4 supported fully with all the new FF3.5 features, so from a technical viewpoint it makes sense. All the quotes in the article come from technical guys, and the paragraph above is essentially what they're getting at.

Anyway, the point of the article is to highlight the 2 separate developer models which will/have emerged. I haven't jail broken my iPod since I didn't really see the need yet, but as soon as the apps start to mature (and crash less) then I probably will.

Joe Perillo not afraid to step and explain Rosemoor Hotel plan: Brown
BY MARK BROWN October 14, 2013 9:08PM
Updated: November 16, 2013 6:25AM
I've got to give Joe Perillo credit.
All the other developers who are busy buying up single-room occupancy buildings across the city and kicking out the poor people who live there are only too happy to hide behind their attorneys and corporate veils to avoid me.
But Perillo stepped right up Monday to personally explain why he's not particularly concerned about displacing the residents of the Rosemoor Hotel, one of the last of the old Skid Row flophouses on the Near West Side, before he bought it in March and began fixing it up.
"I'm not the government. That's for the government to figure out," Perillo said.
"That's not my problem," he added later.
"If that seems insensitive, that's not what I made this investment for," continued Perillo, best known in Chicago as your go-to dealer for luxury automobiles.
As I reported in Sunday's column, the fate of the Rosemoor tenants actually has become something of a problem for Perillo after a Cook County judge issued a temporary restraining order earlier this month to block his company from raising rents or evicting the tenants while she sorts out allegations of retaliatory tactics against them.
The tenants claim the new owners more than doubled the rents and initiated eviction efforts in retaliation against them for forming a tenants union that convinced City Hall to shut down Perillo's rehab project for not having the proper permits.
Perillo said that's obviously false because it was always his intention to increase rents to make his project work financially. His company has since obtained its permits and resumed work.
Some of the tenants Perillo inherited had been paying as little as $13 a night, he said.
"I can't make it for $13 a day," he said. "You can't park your car at the meter for $13 a day."
Instead, he has raised rents to $250 a week with plans to increase that to $350 a week when he completes the rehab work.
As far as what would happen to the previous tenants who couldn't afford the higher rents, "I never considered or thought of that when I bought that place," Perillo said.
In that regard, Perillo is hardly alone. Nobody seems to be considering what will result from Chicago losing the last of this affordable housing option, highly imperfect as it was, certainly not the government on which he places his trust.
The SROs are disappearing, producing more candidates for the homeless shelters.
Still, I can honestly appreciate Perillo's position. He's a businessman, driven by the laws of supply and demand, not a journalist playing social worker.
In truth, I believe in capitalism more than you might suspect, given my occasional commie tendencies, but I also like to help level the playing field where possible, as Perillo seemed to appreciate.
"You're a kind soul, and you're for the underdog, and for that I take my hat off to you," he said. I'm going to print that on my business card.
Perillo, 69, considers himself an underdog who grew up poor on the West Side. His mother was from Italy. His father died when he was 13. Now his dealerships sell BMW, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce and Maserati automobiles.
But it's real estate that seems to be his bigger passion.
"I own a lot of property," Perillo said. "I'm intrigued by real estate."
The Rosemoor, 1622 W. Jackson, is a four-story brick building with 121 spartan rooms — each of them with about 186 square feet of space.
Perillo said the building was a "slum" full of drug dealers, prostitutes and pimps when he bought it and that he set out to "get rid of all the troublemakers."
"We had guys hustling the tenants. I don't want my name associated with anything like that," he added.
"We can't meld good people with thugs," said Perillo, who has been renting out rooms to young professionals as rooms are remodeled with a new bed, toilet and flat-screen TV.
Having met a few of the holdover tenants, they didn't strike me as thugs, more like poor unfortunates.
"No, they're not all thugs," Perillo conceded.
Perillo is currently marketing the property as the Rosemoor Suites but says it will eventually be known as the Hotel Chicago — catering to extended stay guests from nearby Rush Hospital and University of Illinois–Chicago.
"If anyone can pay $350 a week, and they don't do anything illegal or immoral, they can stay there for the rest of their lives," he said.
If they could pay $350 a week, they wouldn't have been living there in the first place.

Vera Miles was born on August 23rd, 1929 in Boise City, Oklahoma with the birth name Vera June Ralston to parents Burnice and Thomas Ralston. She attended school in Pratt Kansas and Wichita, Kansas and graduated from Wichita North High School in 1947.
When she entered a beauty contest in 1948 and won the title, "Miss Kansas" she then began getting involved in an acting career. Miles first started with small roles on some films and television shows.
When two well known directors, Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford spotted her, Miles' career began to take off. She changed her name to Vera Miles directly after arriving in Hollywood so she would not be confused with another actress on the circuit, Vera Ralston. She first starred in Ford's film, "The Searchers" (1956) alongside John Wayne, Ward Bond, Jeffrey Hunter, Natalie Wood, John Qualen, Harry Carey Jr., Walter Coy, Henry Brandon, Ken Curtis and Hank Worden and then Hitchcock put her under a personal contract and cast her in the film, "The Wrong Man" (1956) co-starring Henry Fonda, Anthony Quayle and Harold J. Stone. She soon followed with an appearance in, "Psycho" (1960) starring Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, John McIntire, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, Frank Albertson, Simon Oakland, John Anderson, Mort Mills, Pat Hitchcock, Lurene Tuttle and Vaughn Taylor and then Hitchcock used her on a film working alongside, James Stewart and John Wayne in, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) which also starred Lee Marvin, Edmond O'Brien, Woody Strode, Andy Devine, John Carradine, John Qualen, Strother Martin, Willis Bouchey, Ken Murray, Carleton Young, Denver Pyle, Shug Fisher, Robert F. Simon, Jeanette Nolan and Lee Van Cleef. Even though both Ford and Hitchcock favored Miles, due to her various pregnancy's she was prevented from getting cast in a number of roles.
In 1966 Vera appeared in a Walt Disney prodction "Follow Me, Boys!" starring Fred MacMurray, Lillian Gish, Charlie Ruggles, Ken Murray, Kurt Russell, Parley Baer, Elliott Reid, Donald May and Luana Patten, which was the last production Walt Disney released before he died of lung cancer just two weeks later on December 15, 1966.
As her career progressed, Miles continued to star in a number of films such as, "The Outer Limits" (1963) and "The Fugitive" (1963). Even well into the 1980's, Miles was still going strong in the film industry with more starring roles on the film, "Murder, She Wrote" (1984) and "Psycho II" (1983). She also was highly involved in television work making various appearances on such series as, "Ironside" (1968) and in a couple, "Columbo" episodes along with Climax!" (1954-1958), "Medic" (1954), "Checkmate" (1961), "Zane Grey Theatre" (1960), "Wagon Train" (1959-1964) and "Burke's Law" (1964). In 1995, Vera Miles finally retired from acting.
Vera Miles married three times throughout her lifetime, first to Bob Miles from 1948 through 1954 and had two daughters with him, Debra and Kelley. Her second marriage was to "Tarzan's Hidden Jungle" actor Gordon Scott from 1956 through 1960 and the couple had another child together, Michael Scott. Miles, third and final marriage was to actor Keith Larsen from 1960 through 1971 and again she had another son, Eric Larsen.
Miles still lives in California but refuses any public relations offers, including interviews and public appearances and has maintained a low profile since her retirement.

"I really tried to like it, but..."
I really wanted to like it but just couldn't. The narration was so bad it took a mediocre story and made it an almost painful listen. If you want a better story with excellent narration, stick with Tufo.
"Horrible narration"
The narration was so bad that it was almost comical. I can't believe I listened to the whole audio book. I kept thinking, wrongly, that it had to get better. Don't waste the credit or the time.
"Wait for book 6"
Although I'm a huge fan of Mark Tufo and this this book series, I'm extremely disappointed with Zombie Fallout 5. It felt like a rushed story with no substance and very little plot. There was a good two hours of flashback stories told that provided no benefit to the story and, frankly, felt like filler. I found myself fast forwarding through much of those portions which is a first. I hope Mark spends a little more time developing a good story for book 6 and doesn't let his publisher rush the process which I'm hoping was the reason this book fell flat.
No... Although book 5 was a complete waste of time with very little story, I'm still looking forward to the continuation of the story line. As long as it gets back on track. If book 6 is as empty as book 5, I probably won't go for book 7.
Of course... Michael Talbot. His perfect sarcastic inflection is, as always, great.

Blame--or should it be B Lame? I have listened to a lot of speeches by liberals and conservatives. I see legitimate concerns, issues, and solutions from each group. What I don't hear is a willingness to accept any of the blame, just the blaming
I accept that the tax increase in 1993 did help the country and even gave a great start to reducing our national debt. I also accept that during the Bush administration, money was spent with no plan to pay for the increase
We must accept that wars cost of money, Obamacare costs money, entitlement programs cost money, cost-of-living increases for Social Security and federal salaries/retirement cost money, and many other programs cost a lot of money.
The president and Congress must understand that we need to fund certain things and be willing to accept that we don't need

A North Manchester man is behind bars after officers caught him breaking into his ex-girlfriend's Kosciusko County home with a gun.
Monday, police were called to the 6500 block of East Pierceton Road. That's where they found a shattered door, and 38-year-old Troy Frieden leaving the house, covered in blood. Frieden was held at gunpoint and taken into custody.
Police say Frieden had two handguns on him. He allegedly broke into the home and sliced his hand in the process.
Once inside, he reportedly fired shots at his ex-girlfriend's car and went looking for her, but she was not home at the time.
Frieden is being held on charges of Felony Burglary with a Deadly Weapon, Intimidation with a Firearm and Criminal Recklessness.
