Assembly called to order at 11a.m. Mr. Speaker presiding.

Happy Valentine’s Day! On this day that we celebrate the wonders of love, I’m reminded of Jesus ’ answer when a leader asked Him which was the greatest commandment. Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. ” (Matthew 22:37-40) Let us pray. O God, help us to always love in these two directions. Even now. Even here. AMEN. Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.

On this President's Day, I am reminded of something that President Lincoln is reported to have said. "Common-looking people are the best in the world; that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them. " Lord, as I look out over this room, I am convinced that we must be the best in the world! Well, we may be common-looking, but the tasks before us are anything but common. Please grant us the wisdom, patience, unity, and love to get it done. I pray in the Name of the Savior we need. AMEN. Pledge of allegiance to the Flag. Assemblyman Conklin moved that further reading of the Journal be dispensed with, and the Speaker and Chief Clerk be authorized to make the necessary corrections and additions and that as part of those additions, th

Here we are on our last Thursday of this session. The day is named after the Norse god Thor who was the god of sky and thunder. Well, confined in this building, we haven’t seen too much sky, but we have had plenty of thunder! Lord, we look forward to soon being finished and back in the outdoors and back home. So please give us peace and calm and sanity so we can finish well. I pray in the Name of the Prince of Peace. AMEN. Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.

Lord, You have given us eyes to see and ears to hear. But, in our task of crafting legislation, often those gifts by themselves are not enough.

Charged Particles in a 2+1 Curved Background

The coupling to a 2+1 background geometry of a quantized charged test particle in a strong magnetic field is analyzed. Canonical operators adapting to the fast and slow freedoms produce a natural expansion in the inverse square root of the magnetic field strength. The fast freedom is solved to the second order. At any given time, space is parameterized by a couple of conjugate operators and effectively behaves as the `phase space' of the slow freedom. The slow Hamiltonian depends on the magnetic field norm, its covariant derivatives, the scalar curvature and presents a peculiar coupling with the spin-connection.Comment: 22 page
