Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Home Page Gavel Grab » California Judiciary Wary of Further Court Budget Cuts California court officials have warned that Gov. Jerry Brown is planning to cut another $200 million from the state’s court budget, according to the Sacramento Bee. The court system was initially promised that the $200 million was part of what would be received for the next fiscal year, state administrative director of the courts Judge Steven Jahr said in a memo. State courts have already faced drastic budge cuts this year (see Gavel Grab). “Average Californians are going to be lacking in court services they need,” Kabateck said. The Legislative Analyst’s Office is estimating that state courts will receive about $1.2 billion in the next budget, the article says, and $419 million that was cut previously will be restored.

It Only Seems That Political Corruption Is Rampant With the indictment last week of the former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell on fraud and conspiracy charges, one might surmise that high-level political scandal is breaking out all over. And in a way, one would be right: It has been a good year, or perhaps a bad one, for hauling politicians before judges. Three members of the House of Representatives pleaded guilty to, or were convicted of, crimes in 2013, more than any other year since 1981, when the now-cinematized Abscam sting operation put six House members and a senator behind bars.
In Changing News Landscape, Even Television is Vulnerable Trends in News Consumption: 1991-2012 Overview The transformation of the nation’s news landscape has already taken a heavy toll on print news sources, particularly print newspapers. But there are now signs that television news – which so far has held onto its audience through the rise of the internet – also is increasingly vulnerable, as it may be losing its hold on the next generation of news consumers. Online and digital news consumption, meanwhile, continues to increase, with many more people now getting news on cell phones, tablets or other mobile platforms. These are among the principal findings of the Pew Research Center’s biennial news consumption survey, which has tracked patterns in news use for nearly two decades. The proportion of Americans who read news on a printed page – in newspapers and magazines – continues to decline, even as online readership has offset some of these losses. The decline of print on paper spans beyond just newspapers. audiences for local and cable news.

Criminals Who Disappeared | List of Vanished People and Unsolved Mysteries Thomas P. "Boston" Corbett was the Union Army soldier who shot Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, to death in April of 1865. Corbett, a member of the 16th New York Cavalry Regiment, and other soldiers were assigned to apprehend Booth, but not to kill him, based on strict orders from Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Instead, when Booth was discovered in a Virginia farm, the regiment set the barn on fire and then Corbett shot Booth through a crack in the wall. (How many times do I have to tell Virginia tobacco farm owners...make sure your barn is tightly sealed to prevent gunfire from getting in there!) Corbett didn't really get to enjoy his earnings or newfound fame, though, as his life slowly began to unravel. Next thing you know, he's committed to the Topeka Asylum for the Insane, from where he escaped the following year. Corbett was never officially heard from again.
