WASHINGTON DC – Janet Napolitano, the U.S. secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Arizona, is being named as the next president of the University of California system, in an unusual choice that brings a national-level politician to a position usually held by an academic. Her appointment also means the 10-campus system will be headed by a woman for the first time in its 145-year history.
Napolitano’s nomination by a committee of UC regents came after a secretive process that insiders said focused on her early as a high-profile, although untraditional, candidate who has led large public agencies and shown a strong interest in improving education. (more…)

Washington Times – The legal watchdog Judicial Watch released an audio recording Thursday of a Department of Justice staffer urging Sanford, Fla., city officials and the minority advocacy group Dream Defenders to seek justice for Trayvon Martin, because “if a community perceives that there’s something wrong in the black community, there’s something wrong.”
“CRS is an arm of the department that we call the Peacemakers,” Thomas Battles, regional director of the DOJ’s Community Relations Service, said at a meeting at the Shiloh Church on April 19, 2012. “We work with communities where there is real or perceived racial tensions.” (more…)

(VIA GRETA VANSUSTERN) This is important because this case is largely about credibility: is George Zimmerman a liar or not? Trayvon Martin can’t testify so the focus is on the credibility of the defendant.
In the closing argument today the prosecutor called George Zimmerman a liar about a statement at the police station and the prosecutor was just plain wrong. Zimmerman did not lie about it. The prosecutor exaggerated or mislead the jury (intentionally or inadvertently.)

The prosecutor told the jury that Zimmerman lied when he acted surprised that night, at the police station, when Officer Singleton told Zimmerman that Trayvon Martin died because, per the prosecutor, Zimmerman already knew Martin was dead. (more…)

However, McCarthy, like all legal minded intellectuals – never ask the “why” question.

Instead, he/they reconcile inside the box (donate to the building of a particle accelerator) – because the box defines the only concepts cognition can import (the comfort zone).

It all seemed so large, all of it. The seats, the table, the room, even the personalities. The concept seemed quite simple. Pick something up and drop it, it falls. It can’t fall without some form of energy propelling it to the ground. So, reading about the historical definition of that energy, Gravity, just made the discussion easier.
But it wasn’t. Because it’s not understood. Nothing about it is understood. Nothing.

Nuclear sciences, both large and small, have drilled down the explanations through physics. Quantum discussing the large, and Nano discussing the small. But that’s wonky.
Engineers of modern significance discovered another, Electromagnetic, a long time ago. They used their discovery, and their engineering intellect, to harness capacity and drive all semblances’ of modern society. Without them, you couldn’t read this. Neat, huh? (more…)

Yesterday the defense rested it’s case. A legal analysis via Professor Jacobson HERE.
From my perspective the entire case ended, as expected, early in the day yesterday when Judge Nelson gave George Zimmerman his personal Platinum Express DCA Acquittal Card. The ruling, and more importantly the legal determination she used on the ruling, regarding the Trayvon Martin phone evidence was an immediate Nuclear DCA option. (more…)
