Crawford v. Washington: A Small Advantage for Criminal Defense in Cases Where Prosecution Seeks to Introduce Hearsay Evidence

This article will examine the Crawford holding and its effects on hearsay law in criminal trials in Minnesota. First, it will attempt to explain the Crawford holding and the Supreme Court’s analysis. Next, it will examine Crawford’s general effect on the Minnesota Rules of Evidence concerning hearsay. Then, this article will consider Crawford’s effect upon criminal cases and some of the arguments it presents for criminal defense attorneys and prosecutors. Finally, this article will conclude that the Crawford decision is a small boon for criminal defense attorneys

Interview With Richard Eldridge

Desmond: Talking to Richard on the way over, I proposed that our discussion would focus on the theme of autonomy and embeddedness or relatedness. This is a recurrent concern in all of Richard’s writing. I thought it would be a good idea to look at this issue of autonomy and embeddedness in a variety of different forms, in relation to different philosophers that have influenced the work of Richard, but also in a variety of different domains such as ethics, aesthetics or literature, romanticism. In the latter the question of the interplay between art and religion also comes up as a very important consideration. Another central theme in Richard’s work is the tension between aspiration and disappointment, between longing and the failure to reach a desired completion. Disappointment and the fact of failure are not, I would say, absolutized. Disappointment becomes the occasion of a possible renewal of striving or aspiration rather than marking a sceptical outcome in a merely negative sense

USCID fourth international conference

Presented at the Role of irrigation and drainage in a sustainable future: USCID fourth international conference on irrigation and drainage on October 3-6, 2007 in Sacramento, California.In response to a range of internal and external drivers and the need to protect the district's pre-1914 water rights, Oakdale Irrigation District (OID) developed a long-term Water Resources Plan (WRP). The 100-year-old irrigation district provides irrigation and domestic water service to over 55,000 acres in California's San Joaquin Valley. The study effort created a strategic roadmap for the implementation of a $170 million capital program focused on protecting OID's water rights while meeting the changing needs of its constituency and serving the region. The second phase included programmatic environmental documentation, which is being followed by design and construction of facility improvements. This multi-disciplined effort included detailed land use modeling, water balance modeling, on-farm surveys, a comprehensive infrastructure assessment, and the development of a phased infrastructure plan to rehabilitate and modernize an out-of-date system. The approach also integrated water right evaluations, groundwater studies, development and evaluation of program alternatives, financial analyses, environmental compliance, and public outreach. Key benefits resulting from WRP implementation include protecting the district's water rights, increasing reliability during droughts, and modernizing a century-old system to meet the needs of its current and future customer base. Implementation includes a balanced effort of water transfers and expansion of service into OID's sphere of influence while keeping water rates affordable. OID's infrastructure will be rebuilt, modernized, and expanded, and customer service and water use efficiency will be enhanced

Conceptual design studies of candidate V/STOL lift fan commercial short haul transport for 1980 - 1985 V/STOL lift fan study

Conceptual designs of V/STOL lift fan commercial short haul transport aircraft for the 1980-85 time period were studied to determine their technical and economic feasibility. The engine concepts included both integral and remote fans. The scope of the study included definition of the hover control concept for each propulsion system, aircraft design, aircraft mass properties, cruise performance, noise and ride qualities evaluation. Economic evaluating was also studied on a basis of direct operating costs and route structure
