News8: DA Race Contenders on Death Penalty

2/12/2008 News8Austin By: Paul Brown Q: In the past, Travis County has been reluctant to pursue the death penalty in capital cases. Under your leadership, how will the DA’s office approach the death penalty? Rosemary Lehmberg: We seldom seek the death penalty in Travis County and I will continue that practice. We now have life without parole. It’s still the law and if there is a situation in which I believe that a Travis County jury should have the option of seeking the death penalty, I will d

An &quotEagles want Larry Fitzgerald&quot rumor

Over on Gary &quotG&quot Cobb’s site a writer of his is reporting that the Eagles are pursing a trade for Cardinals’ WR Larry Fitzgerald. G has also talked about this rumor on his 610 WIP show. I’m going to say to take this one with a grain of salt. Not to put down Cobb or his writers because I certainly hope they’re correct in this case… but I’d feel a little more confident if it were guys like Schefter, Clayton, or Glazer reporting this one. A source with knowledge of the situation has told me tha

Are Antidepressants Useless? Researchers Say Yes

Prescribing antidepressants to the vast majority of patients is futile, because the drugs have little or no impact at all, according to researchers at the University of Hull, The Financial Times reports. Almost 50 clinical trials for four drugs, including Prozac, Effexor and Paxil, were reviewed by university psychologists, who found that the latest generation of antidepressants worked no better than a placebo for mildly depressed patients. Even the trials that suggested some clinical benefit

&quotIt looks like a nudibranch,&quot he said. And though it’s only a landlubber, it does have that outrageously foudroyant* appeal. So should sea slugs be called in our vulgar common parlance sea caterpillars? Or, because 1 sea slugs cavorted way before caterpillars let alone slugs were even a glimmer in the big He’s eye and 2 since the sea is more what Earth is than land?? should caterpillars be called land or false, or more modernly: aspirational nudibranchs?

Cameron Loop is one of those obscure two lane roads in Southwest Austin left over from a time when the land, now being covered by subdivisions and apartments, grazed goats and cattle. And one of the sure harbingers of a forthcoming election is the appearance of candidates’ signs. One or two will show up here and there, like the first hesitant buds of Spring, then, in a week or two, signs are popping up everywhere like a field of political wildflowers. Normally, all the signs manage to co-exist
