Convicted murderer a still a behind bars, but as she heads back to court to face the sentencing phase for her vicious killing of , her lawyers have asked the judge to cheap nfl jersey allow them to monitor the new jury’s social media accounts.

A jury found the 33-year-old guilty of the brutal slaying of her former lover New York Giants Jerseys Sale on May 8 but were deadlocked on a sentence, unable to come to a unanimous decision on whether or not to a so the judge declared a mistrial and prosecutors have said they are planning to pursue a second trial .

Jodi’s attorneys Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott filed a motion on Wednesday to have the judge allow them to monitor the Twitter accounts of Cheap Authentic Patriots Jerseys On Sale any new jurors reported.

 

They are asking the court to have the juror selected for the next phase to provide their Twitter accounts and names if they use the site.

They said this information would serve as a “crucial tool with which Ms. Arias can work to ensure that her jury are either not communicating about the case via Twitter or considering information that was sent to them cheap sports jerseys online via Twitter as opposed to what is presented to them in court.â€

Jodi herself maintains a Twitter account while she is behind bars, something the Maricopa County Sheriff’s office has said they cannot control.

“If every juror were to understand and Cheap Authentic Patriots Jerseys Sale follow this warning … there would be no Discount New York Giants Jerseys issue with a juror choosing to ‘tweet’ information about the case,†Jodi’s attorneys wrote.

“However, even a juror that follows this admonition could still receive a tweet containing extraneous information.â€

 

The prosecution has not yet filed a response and AZCentral.com reported that they declined to comment.

Jodi is scheduled to be back in court on Monday, August 26 for a hearing and RadarOnline.com will be livestreaming the proceedings.

How's Custom Indianapolis Colts Jerseys For Sale Discount New Orleans Saints Jerseys this for a low-tech way of diagnosing Alzheimer's: sniffing peanut butter. Researchers at the University nike nfl jerseys for sale of Florida have discovered some merit to the bizarre-sounding notion, reports Futurity. Knowing that Custom Indianapolis Colts NFL Jerseys For Sale cheap custom nfl jerseys online for sale patients in cognitive decline often lose their sense of smell first, the researchers had patients sniff a dollop of peanut butter with each nostril separately. They used a ruler to measure the point at which people detected the odor (and to keep the other nostril closed).

The weird result: People with New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale a confirmed diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer's could smell it fine with their right nostril, but not their left, say the UF scientists. Generally speaking, the right nostril picked up on it 10cm before the left one. Also of note: The left-right difference is specific to Alzheimer's, and doesn't apply to other forms of dementia.

"At the moment, we can use this test to confirm diagnosis," says the lead researcher. "But we plan to study patients with mild cognitive impairment to see if this test might be used to predict which patients are going to get Alzheimer's disease." Bravo, says Dan Nosowitz at PopSci. This could end up being an easy, cheap, and effective weapon in the Alzheimer's fight.

Rihanna's living room in New YorkBy Laura Vecsey, Zillow Contributor Call it a case of life imitating Fashion Week, at least for .

The Chicago Marathon is scheduled to get underway early Sunday Custom New York Jets NFL Jerseys morning, but one local runner decided to almost double that distance for her Saturday morning run.

Holly Young finished 50 miles in one day to support Hello Gorgeous! – a non-profit that offers free makeovers to women battling cancer. She completed the course in about 12 hours, with a few small breaks for hydration and stretching.

Young’s fundraising effors were inspired by the memory of her good friend, Kathy Gribbin, who lost her fight New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap with ovarian cancer back in February.

Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and state Sen. Ed Murray trod well worn ground for much of the second televised mayoral debate Saturday night on KOMO 4. But there were fireworks when the rivals got Custom Patriots Jerseys For Sale to directly interrogate one another on perceived leadership flaws.

For much of the hourlong debate, McGinn smiled at the camera and made a case that despite what his critics would have you believe he s been a good listener in his first term. And he said he has racked up accomplishments, such as an overall low crime rate and a growing local economy, that merit another four years.

Murray, who spoke in calm, flat tones even when delivering his most aggressive attacks, said Seattle is ready for a politically experienced mayor who will work with the City Council instead of fighting it. His answers throughout the night showed, Murray clearly came to the event with a strategy to appeal to female voters and neighborhoods worried about growth.

Once again, actual policy distinctions were hard to come by. McGinn and Murray clashed the hardest in the middle of the debate when each was allowed to ask the other a question. Both punched at sore spots, revealing what they believed to be leadership flaws they believe might sway voters in the few weeks remaining in the 2013 mayoral race.

McGinn targeted Murray s record in the state Legislature, asking him how much the state cut from the education budget in 2011, when Murray chaired the Senate budget committee.

Murray fumbled his answer, apparently mixing up which year McGinn was talking about, and claimed education cuts that year had been proposed by Republicans but later restored (he was referring to 2012 when Republicans joined some more conservative Democrats to seize control of the budget process.)

My Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale understanding is that there were $1 billion in cuts and you were the chair of the budget writing committee at that time, McGinn said.

Murray acknowledged he had his years confused and then defended the cuts that Olympia made as a product of the deep recession, which severely cut state revenues.

Almost every single Democrat in the Legislature voted for those budgets. We voted for those budgets because we knew we had to do cuts, but we were also voting for them because we got an agreement to preserve programs, Murray said, adding that the Legislature this year added $1 billion for schools.

McGinn wasn t having it, noting the Legislature is under a court order for failing to meet its Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys Sale paramount duty to education that s Custom Patriots NFL Jerseys For Sale how bad the cuts got over the years.

McGinn said the reason he keeps questioning Murray s legislative record is that Murray is running on that more than any new policy idea. I would love to have a debate with Senator Murray about his ideas for the future of Seattle. But he s not really running on new ideas or new proposals. He said Murray and other lawmakers had failed to close tax loopholes or raise taxes to adequately pay for schools and other services such as mental health funding.

Murray said McGinn was making a Republican Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys On Sale argument by suggesting there was enough money to easily pay for state services. He said McGinn doesn t understand how Olympia works, adding: I think it Cheap Giants Jerseys On Sale s time to stop attacking the Democrats in the state Legislature and start working with the state legislature.

When it was Murray s turn to ask a question, he sought to wound McGinn s standing among female voters, citing a report on a gender pay gap at the city which showed McGinn s office was among those departments where women are paid less than men. Murray also questioned McGinn s closure of the city s domestic violence office and said only 30 percent of McGinn s cabinet members are women.

Why should the women of this city believe, based on the fact that only 30 percent of your cabinet are women, based on the pay disparity, based on the numbers of domestic violence, that your next four years will offer something different to them? Murray asked.

McGinn countered that three of the five top staffers who report directly to him are women and said he d hired female city department heads as often as men.

As for any pay disparities, McGinn chalked that up to women working in categories of jobs not valued as highly and noted he s launched a city effort to rectify any unfair pay gaps.

McGinn then turned the question around, saying only one third of the legislative aides hired by Murray during his 18 years in the Legislature were women.

Murray responded that as Senate Democratic leader he got to hire four people and three were women. He added that he d hired racial and sexual minorities during his years in the Legislature, saying his office has been one of the most diverse.

With one out in the eighth, Will Middlebrooks doubled off Jose Veras, the first of four relievers in the inning. Jacoby Ellsbury followed that with a walk off Drew Smyly. With Al Albuquerque pitching,聽 Shane Victorino struck out and Dustin Pedroia reached on a single, loading the bases for Ortiz.

聽

At that point Tigers manager Jim Leyland went to his closer, Joaquin Benoit to face David Ortiz.

聽

鈥淐oming against Benoit right there, I felt something good was going to happen,鈥?said Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who eventually drove in the winning run. 鈥淚 think everyone knew something good was going to happen.鈥?br>聽

鈥淲hat did we think? We think he鈥檚 going to come through,鈥?Drew said.

聽

Ortiz did not let his teammates down. He jumped on Benoit鈥檚 first pitch, crushing a laser into the Sox bullpen to tie the game.

聽

鈥淲e鈥檝e seen it all year, and to hit a grand slam like that on a line drive,鈥?Drew said. 鈥淵ou look at that game, nfl jerseys factory look at the ball Salty hit to right field [in the fifth] and we thought it was a home run. Right field is not a joke out here. It鈥檚 Custom Giants Jerseys a big yard, and for him to do it on a line drive, Custom Patriots Jerseys Wholesale it鈥檚 huge.鈥?br>聽

鈥淥n the bench there's nobody really surprised when he does something like he does,鈥?Saltalamacchia said. 鈥淏ut it's unbelievable. You watch it on TV for so many years, and growing up watching it and then being able to be on the bench and watch that ball go out and seeing him run the bases. It's like any other day. He gets excited but you can't really tell he's any different, if he's rushed or if he's calm, he's the same every day.鈥?br>聽

Ortiz is no stranger to October drama. But this was the first grand slam of his postseason career.

聽

鈥淲e need it, man,鈥?he said. 鈥淲e need start some momentum going on. And I think going back to Detroit 1鈥? is 鈥戔€?2鈥?, I'm pretty sure that that game that we're going to have on Tuesday against [Justin] Verlander I'm pretty sure you're going to see guys having better at鈥慴ats. I think that, like I say, they have outstanding pitching and we are the kind of team that we try to take advantage of mistakes.

 

鈥淎nd the past couple of days, I mean, see the whole regular season you haven't seen a team shutting us down for 14, 15 straight innings like they have the past couple of days.聽 If you look at the way we've been pitching, unbelievable.聽 We play those guys seven times during the season, they have a totally different approach, the way they've been pitching these past couple of days. It's up to us make an adjustment.鈥?br>聽

The normally loquacious Gomes was at a loss to describe the dugout in the eighth inning.

聽

鈥淣o,鈥?he said. 鈥淸But,] that鈥檚 pretty special.鈥?br>聽

As Ortiz circled the bases Fenway Park and the Sox dugout erupted. David Ross was watching from the bench with Jake Peavy and Jon Lester.

聽

鈥淚t was fun. It was a blast. It was unbelievable,鈥?Ross said. 鈥淗onestly, me and Peavy and Les were just talking and [saying], 鈥楳an, this is really cool.鈥?Peav was telling a story and then the next thing you knew, they were making a聽 pitching change so it was still kind of low key. And then he hit that and we went crazy. And it was literally 40 people just ran in front of us. Just pandemonium. It was a cool thing.

聽

鈥淚t seemed like old hat for David. I鈥檇 have been like a little school girl running around the bases if I鈥檇 have done that and he just trotted around like it was nothing. Came out tipped his cap. It鈥檚 another story for him. I鈥檓 just glad I was here in person to watch it.鈥?

Washington's commercial real estate industry has been abuzz for much of the past week over speculation that is leaving after nearly three decades.

Those rumors turned out to be true. Marr, who joined CBRE out of college, told me in an exclusive interview this morning that he and colleague have joined fast-growing Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in one of the most significant brokerage moves this year.

"We're thrilled to be joining Newmark," Marr said. "It really came down to wanting to work with friends. After 28 years with the firm and probably coinciding with me turning 50 years old and looking about what I wanted to do for the next 10 or so years, I looked around and decided I really wanted Custom New York Giants Jerseys For Sale to join a firm Cheap Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale where I had good friends and where I could have a lot of fun and really not lose due Cheap Jerseys Custom Ravens NFL Jerseys For Sale to a platform."

Marr has been behind some of the region's biggest law firm leases, including his most recent representation of . In an interview, Marr told me it wasn't an easy decision to leave Custom New York Giants NFL Jerseys For Sale the firm where his father and uncle both worked but felt it was the right one given the emphasis Newmark is making on growing its presence here in the Washington area.

A key factor in the decision is the team Cheap NFL Jerseys that Newmark has built so far here in the region, which includes former former , who was named executive vice president at Newmark back in April. Owen and Marr worked together about a decade ago before Owen left CBRE for Vornado.

Marr predicted the move, while the latest, will not be the last for Newmark as it seeks to recruit top-tier talent in the D.C. region. Newmark CEO told me in an interview when the firm hired Owen that it is focused on increasing the brokerage's presence in Washington after acquiring Grubb & Ellis and being acquired by BGC Partners a little more than a year ago.

Watch what they do: Jonathan Alter s recent book recounts President Obama s attempt to mobilize Cheap Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys Sale Latino voters in 2012 after early focus groups were discouraging. They revealed that Latinos liked the president personally but didn t think he was effective. They were largely unfamiliar with achievements like the auto bailout and the health care bill How to respond? Not, it turns out, by talking about immigration reform:

The best Cheap Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys On Sale way out of that hole was to educate Latino voters about Obamacare, which was immensely popular when Latinos learned the details. a The pitch was much more direct than in Obama s English-language media. Certain families, the Spanish-language ads said, will receive economic help from the government to pay Cheap Authentic Arizona Cardinals Jerseys On Sale for quality [health] insurance. If the election was partly about the role of government in America life, Chicago was betting that Latinos favored a big cheap nfl jersey role.

The bet was hugely successful, of course, which raises the question: Are Latino voters natural cheap sports jerseys online Republicans, as we re often told or natural Californians? The Cheap Authentic Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Sale answer is pretty obvious (as almost any Democratic campaign strategist will admit, at least after a few drinks).

@@@ Fast-food giant McDonald's is set to become a publishing giant as well 鈥?at least temporarily. For two weeks next Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys On Sale month, it will oust the toys that usually come in its Happy Meals and replace them with books it has published itself. An estimated 20 million children's books, which will feature nutritional messages, will be distributed in McDonald's kids' meals from Nov. 1 to Nov. 14, the company says. To put it in perspective, notes, Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys Sale that's more than the 15 million print copies of the best-selling Hunger Games trilogy that were sold in 2012. But don't expect to find classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar with your burger. The four titles that will come with the meals were all created specifically for McDonald's 鈥?by advertising firm , AdAge reports 鈥?and include characters like a voracious goat who struggles to eat right and a diminutive dinosaur who grows tall with good nutrition. Apparently, this is part of Cheap New York Giants Jerseys On Sale a much bigger books initiative at McD's. It's "part of a broader book strategy that will combine the fun of the Happy Meal, new partners and technology to inspire more family reading time," Ubong Ituen, vice president of marketing for McDonald's USA, said in a statement. The company says it also plans to roll out a new interactive digital book, in partnership with DK Publishing, each month through the end of 2014 on its website HappyMeals.com. Reading Is Fundamental, New Orleans Saints Jerseys For Cheap a large children's literacy nonprofit, is partnering with McDonald's to distribute the Happy Meal titles to kids without access to books.

What's more, he argues, the digital side of the books campaign is particularly troubling, because kids tend to interact much longer with a brand in cyberspace than they might do otherwise.

Answer by , Behavioral psychologist, entrepreneur, mad scientist, on .

 

Matt Wallaert, Behavioral psychologist, entrepreneur, mad scientist

I have two very different answers, but I’m going to lead with one and then give the second as a bonus.

(In first place) The worst thing about working at Microsoft is the number Authentic New York Giants Jerseys Sale of people outside the company who doubt us.

That’s right. The worst part of working at Microsoft has nothing to do with our internal culture (that’s not quite true; more on that in a bit). It isn’t stack ranking or ship cycles or trying to get things done. It is working at a company that people don’t believe in, despite the immense importance it plays in their daily life.

It is safe to say that most people reading this probably don’t respect Microsoft very much. Asked to name the most innovative tech company, they’ll say Apple or Google. And they’ll do it with a straight face, while sitting in a chair made by Microsoft.

Wait, Microsoft makes chairs? No, not directly. But the part of that chair? Manufactured in facilities running on, you guess it, Microsoft software. Transported in trucks built by Microsoft software, on roads built by Microsoft software, sold by companies running Microsoft software.

Imagine you got out of that chair for a second. Walked across the street to get a cup of coffee. Got hit by a bus. The ambulance that picks you up? Microsoft. The hospital that saves you? Microsoft. The doctor? Trained at a school running Microsoft, using delicate instruments running Microsoft. If you prefer not getting hit by a bus, think about the role that Microsoft has had in making sure your baby was born healthy.

Google’s business model is ads. Apple is consumer electronics. And Microsoft has consumer devices and Bing sells ads, so we could have a reasonable argument about whether those other two companies are doing a better job in those two spaces. But we should recognize that while we’re having that argument, we’re only able to do so because of generations of Microsoft leadership in technology.

Which isn’t to say there haven’t been Custom Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale other leaders or to detract from Apple or Google (both of which are doing interesting work, in my opinion). But when you talk to most people, at least in the US, most are unaware of the role that Microsoft played in their life.  Which isn’t a bad thing on its own; there are many important supportive structures that are mostly invisible until you think about them.

But Microsoft is a little different from most of those invisible structures. Because instead of being invisible, people are acutely aware New York Giants Jerseys For Cheap of it and many have openly negative feelings about it.

I run our Bing for Schools program. It gets hardware in the hands of kids, teaches them digital literacy skills, and creates a safe environment for them to practice in. And when we launched, the haters emerged from the woodwork with pitchforks and torches, growling “Google!  Google!†Just for fun, see the comment stream on The Verge story: 

Now if this were an isolated opinion held by a few fanboys, I’d get it. Truly, there are room for true fans who deny that competitors might have any positive benefits. But think about the number of young people who make a face when you say Microsoft. That’s an entirely different problem.

And because Microsoft employees go to work every Nike NFL Jerseys day faces with a world that refuses to believe that they could possibly admit to doing anything innovative, it makes going to work that extra bit painful. Because even if you know that you are working on something that will help save lives or make things better for humanity, you also know that the moment you release it, the vast majority of the tech community to which you belong will ridicule it for no other reason than it says Microsoft on it.

Most folks recognize that when you think negative things about a group of people, it causes not only hardship in their lives but also stunts their ability to achieve. For me, the worst thing about working at Microsoft is that this is New NFL Jerseys also true of the group of people you are talking about when you talk about a company.

This leads somewhat into my second answer.  But fortunately, after 11 Cheap Authentic Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale months, I continue to enjoy coming to work. I’ve pushed through a program that does good things for kids. I’m excited by the enhancements that colleagues continue to bring into the marketplace, those things that move humans up and to the right. You asked about the worst, but I experience the best on a daily basis.

(CBS) – Walgreens’ weekly sales promote low prices,a  but can you be sure that you ll get the sale price when you head to the check-out?

2 Investigator Pam Zekman went shopping to find out.

There were dozens of make-up accessories on sale at one location. They looked like a great deal. But, the sale prices were expired.

Like make-up brushes. The sales promotion says buy one, get one 50 percent off. That would be $8.71 for the second brush. But we were charged full price $11.98.

The same thing happened with moisturizing cream. The sale sign says $8.99, but we were charged $11.49.

In all, we found 46 expired sales tags in just one section.

There s a lot of old people shopping here,†says John Sorgatz, a regular at the Cheap Giants Jerseys On Sale Uptown Walgreens location. “You’re not going to read the fine print that it’s expired. It’s misleading.â€

Luis Rivera, a manager at the store, says they ll give you the sale price if you catch the mistake.

We are more than willing to accommodate and give you the price that is on there, regardless if it’s expired, Rivera said.

Why don t you get the expired sale prices off the shelf right away? Zekman asked.

You can talk to the Walgreens Corporation, he responded.

We found expired sales tags at eight locations.

In one case a sales offering for some Aleve pills had been expired for eight days.

In all, we were overcharged $50.95 for the items we bought that appeared to be on sale.

It s not just a problem in the Chicago area. CBS investigators across the country found similar issues with sales stickers.

Walgreens has settled pricing lawsuits in California and Wisconsin and is Cheap Giants Jerseys Sale facing a new Authentic Giants Jerseys Sale lawsuit from the attorney general in Missouri for deceptive pricing practices.

This level of consumer deception is Giants Jerseys For Cheap inexcusable from a corporation as sophisticated as Walgreens,†Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster says.

And what we found here disturbed Walgreens customer Virginia Harding.

If you’re buying something intentionally because you think you’re getting a deal, it shouldn t be like a bait and switch,†she says.

When we Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys On Sale did question paying full price for an item that looked like it was on sale, the cashiers checked it out and gave us the sale price even though it was expired. Walgreens says that is their policy.

In a written statement Walgreens also said the following:

“We have a 112-year history of acting in our customers’ best interests and earning their trust. That will continue to be our focus Cheap Authentic Ravens Jerseys Sale in all areas. We always seek to continuously improve, and we welcome feedback on areas where we are not meeting customer expectations.a  If a customer believes they were charged incorrectly, we are happy to resolve it.a  Our policy is to honor the lowest advertised or displayed price.a  If a customer informs our team member of a lower displayed price, we honor the lower price, even in instances when the sale has expired.â€
