The felony murder rule is a law that can be used to charge someone with first degree murder if a murder occurs during a forcible felony no matter if there is premeditation or not. A forcible felony includes felonious child endangerment, assault, murder, sexual abuse, kidnapping, robbery, arson in the first degree, and burglary in the first degree. Basically any murder can become a charge of first degree murder no matter what the circumstances. There is a reason we have multiple levels of punishment for murder including first degree murder, second degree murder, and voluntary manslaughter. Not every murder deserves the same punishment and the felony murder rule does away with these distinctions and makes pretty much all murder a possible first degree murder charge.

Don’t believe me, well look closely at what constitutes a forcible felony. Assault is one of them. Tell me, how is it possible to committee murder without first assaulting them? If you hit someone with any kind of weapon or object isn’t that considered assault, if you point a gun at someone and then shoot them isn’t pointing a gun at someone considered assault? Is there anyway to committee murder without first assaulting them, I can’t think of one.

What is worse is that this law can be used on anyone who had any knowledge or was with the person who actually committed a murder. How can one person be responsible for the actions of another human being? Yes there are instances where this rule should apply. For example if you go into a gas station armed with the intent to rob it with someone else who ends up shooting and killing clerk you should be responsible for that persons death, but if you had no intention of committing a crime why should you be responsible for someone else’s actions. For example in Florida a young man lent his car to a couple of friends who took his car committed a robbery and murder without his knowledge and now this young man sits in prison without possibility of parole.  How is this fair? How is this justice?

Many people would like to know the secret of the perfectly-cook steak. Questions people often have about meat run the gamut: should steak be marinated? Is it best cooked on the grill or under the broiler? And how long should I let the meat rest after cooking? The answers to these questions unfortunately depend mostly upon personal preference. Yet there are a couple of truisms about steak cookery that will guarantee great results: starting with the best meat and using the best technique.

Regardless of which steak recipes you are using, starting with the best steaks  is the only way to have a shot at making the best steak. Your best bet is probably to try ordering steaks from Chicago either by mail order or online; I have received nothing but the finest beef when I’ve ordered from the Midwest.

As far as technique goes, there are a number of approaches to steak cookery. First, a good steak can be made in a pan. For the best results, the pan is heated until it’s truly smoking hot; a 50/50 mixture of oil and clarified butter is added until it smokes, and the thoroughly seasoned steak is added. From there it is cooked on each side until brown/black or until it develops a crispy crust. From there, it is either done cooking or should go into a hot oven – 450-500 degrees to finish. Second, steak can be cooked entirely under the broiler. This requires more finesse and watchful eye, but will generally produce results closest to the steakhouse. The broiler needs to be as hot as possible and steak needs to be an appropriate distance whereby it will form a crust on each side without overcooking on the inside. If it’s hard to assess the proper distance, you can achieve good results by charring the steak close to a hot broiler before finishing it in a hot oven or finishing at a further distance from a cooler broiler. Lastly, grilling a steak follows roughly the same approach as the other methods: you first want to form a good crust on the outside by searing in the juices with a high temperature. The remainder of the cooking should be done by moving the steak to colder part of the grill and covering until cooked to desired doneness.

While there will always be disagreement as to the best steak recipe, there is no doubt that the proper cooking of steak always has two things in common: it starts with the best quality beef available and employs a method that locks in juices at high heat and finishes cooking the meat through at a lower temperature.

At a Glance:

California has been dealing with power shortages ever since Enron put the squeeze on the state to pay more for less. In 2008, the availability of electric service to the population of Los Angeles was maintained well due to an easy summer cooling season, and a projected light heating season. While the public like to think that Los Angeles electric issues are in the past, what they may not know about future green initiatives is that they will affect how everyone in California looks at an electric outlet. When it comes time to enforce new mandates for equipment and repair, private citizens and companies who are in the electric industry will have to change the way they utilize their supply.

Industry Standards:

Currently, the state of California has just signed into law Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing codes which have regularly been a source of disagreement for political leaders and business across the state. On September 30th 2008, the Governor of California signed into law Bill 1473, which puts this argument to rest in the future. Now that this law has been enacted, the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials can make amendments to the code and steps to move forward can begin. As the need for more conservative measures to be used by the public is overriding the old arguments of regulation and control have been corrected. As new products become available for use, the public now will be able to use these measures to lessen the loads of California power grids, and Los Angeles electric supplies will be maintained farther into the future using conservation and equipment upgrades as the way to lessen the loads on the system.
