			</div><div style="clear:both"></div><div style="padding-bottom:4px;"></div><p>Earlier today a 4 year old first degree murder case against Lisa Randall was dismissed by Judge Michael Kemp. The case has been cited as a leftover of the Andrew Thomas era of harsh and illogical persecution of Maricopa County citizens. Arizona Criminal Attorney David Michael Cantor was able to get the Capital First Degree Murder charges dismissed after showing the judge where the evidence of the case just didn&#8217;t back up the prosecutions assertion that Ms. Randall was responsible for murder of an infant.</p>
<p>Mr. Cantor has published the letter asking for <a title="Arizona First Degree Murder Case dismissed" href="http://www.dmcantor.com/blog/2010/07/22/case-dismissed-first-degree-murder-case-of-lisa-randall.html">Lisa Randall&#8217;s Murder case</a> to be dismissed which he sent to Rick Romely on June 30th 2010.</p>
<p>The Phoenix New Times is running an in depth story on this case:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2010-07-22/news/phantom-murder-at-the-11th-hour-prosecutors-dropped-a-murder-charge-against-a-beloved-daycare-operator-leaving-the-death-of-baby-dillon-a-medical-mystery/">Phantom Murder: At the 11th Hour, Prosecutors Dropped a Murder Charge Against a Beloved Daycare Operator &#8212; Leaving the Death of Baby Dillon a Medical Mystery &#8211; Page 1 &#8211; News &#8211; Phoenix &#8211; Phoenix New Times</a>.</p>
<p>The Phoenix New Times Journalist, <a href="/email.php?to=764&amp;author_name=Paul%2BRubin&amp;story_url=http%253A%252F%252Fblogs.phoenixnewtimes.com%252Fvalleyfever%252F2010%252F07%252Flisa_randall_murder_case_dismi.php&amp;story_title=UPDATE%253A%2BLisa%2BRandall%2BMurder%2BCase%2BDismissed%2BThis%2BMorning&amp;blog_name=Valley%2BFever">Paul Rubin</a>, who has been working on this for over two years also penned a <a href="http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2010/07/lisa_randall_murder_case_dismi.php">blog post this morning</a>.</p>
<p>The Phoenix New Times story is ongoing with more details coming out next week. Clearly this is a good sign for Maricopa County where Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Joe have been running amok for years creating more lawsuits for the county.</p>

<p>PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page&amp;apos;s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves &#8220;important&#8221; weigh more heavily and help to make other pages &#8220;important&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

In the end it doesn&#8217;t matter what the excuse is: we all need to slow down and take stock on what&#8217;s real and important. For me this means my relationships with friends, family, and myself and how I keep them in balance.</p>
<p>Throughout our day, month, year, and life we go through a number of exchanges. These may involve money and/or other people. A lot of the time they involve neither. Taking time to appreciate non monetary exchanges is something easily overlooked in a busy day. Even more difficult can be the ability to look at the exchanges we have internally with ourselves.</p>
<p>What do you think? Do you practice giving and getting equally? Are you feeling the love?</p>

The break of dawn is only a figment of the imagination. At this point it&#8217;s so early it may as well still be yesterday. At least the roads are empty.</p>
<p>This early morning depature is necessary because we will be driving a few hours to the trailhead for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphreys_Peak">Humphreys Peak</a> just north of Flagstaff, AZ. At this rate we should be at the trailhead around 7am which means the trail should be empty.</p>
<p>My last trip up Humphreys was a number of years ago in May. When I pulled into the trailhead parking lot there was snow everywhere and some guy was getting his cross country skis ready to go. I had flip flops on.</p>
<p>This time is different, no snow and we have an EMD (Early Morning Doggie) which means we should move quickly and get back before dark. The climb was steady but not overly difficult. It took us 4 hours to summit and close to 3 to get back down. The dog pulled us all the way up and was ready for more when we got back down.</p>
