Incarceration is the detention of a person in jail or prison. People are most commonly incarcerated upon suspicion or conviction of committing a crime. Incarceration rates, when measured by the United Nations, are considered distinct and separate from the imprisonment of political prisoners and others not charged with a specific crime. Historically, the frequency of imprisonment, its duration, and severity have varied considerably. There has also been much debate about the motives for incarceration, its effectiveness and fairness, as well as debate regarding the related questions about the nature and etiology of criminal behavior.
The United States' incarceration rate is, according to official reports, the highest in the world, at 737 persons imprisoned per 100,000 (as of 2005). A report released in 2008 indicates that in the United States more than 1 in 100 adults is now confined in an American jail or prison. The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population.
In 2006 the incarceration rate in England and Wales is 139 persons imprisoned per 100,000 residents, while in Norway it is 59 inmates per 100,000, whilst the Australian imprisonment rate is 163 prisoners per 100,000 residents, and the rate of imprisonment in New Zealand last year was 179 per 100,000.
In 2001 the incarceration rate in China was 111 per 100,000 in 2001 (sentenced prisoners only), although this figure is highly disputed. Chinese human rights activist Harry Wu, who spent 19 years in forced-labor camps for criticizing the government, estimates that 16 to 20 million of his countrymen are incarcerated, including common criminals, political prisoners, and people in involuntary job placements. Even ten million prisoners would mean a rate of 793 per 100,000.
Ireland has the lowest prison population with 3417 prisoners incarcerated. Ireland has relatively low crime rates and those rates continue to fall. Ireland received 101 reports of homicide in 2003. Also reported were 4763 cases of assault and 2463 sexual offences.
Denmark also has a low incarceration rate with a total of 3774 inmates in the country. Denmark has 59 people in prison for every 100,000 citizens. 62 violent crimes such as rape, murder, robbery, and aggravated assault were reported. There were 322 Property Crimes reported.
India has the lowest incarceration rates with only 281,000 prisoners in their jails. This is just a fraction of their total population, 1,129,866,154. India reported 1,764,630 crimes in 2007. There were 236,313 assaults and 111,296 burglaries.
In many countries, it is common for prisoners to be paroled after serving as little as one third of their sentences. In the U.S., most states strictly limit parole, requiring that at least half of a sentence be served. For certain heinous crimes, there is no parole and the full sentence must be served.

The individual components of the DJIA are occasionally changed as market conditions warrant. When companies are replaced, the scale factor used to calculate the index is also adjusted so that the value of the average is not directly affected by the change.On November 1, 1999, Chevron, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Sears Roebuck, and Union Carbide were removed from the DJIA and replaced by Intel, Microsoft, Home Depot, and SBC Communications. Intel and Microsoft became the first two companies traded on the NASDAQ exchange to be listed in the DJIA. On April 8, 2004, another change occurred as International Paper, AT&T, and Eastman Kodak were replaced with Pfizer, Verizon, and AIG. On December 1, 2005, AT&T returned to the DJIA as a result of the SBC Communications and AT&T merger. Altria Group and Honeywell were replaced by Chevron and Bank of America on February 19, 2008. On September 22, 2008, Kraft Foods replaced American International Group in the index.
A basic income is granted independent of other income (including salaries) and wealth, with no other requirement than citizenship. This is a special case of GMI, based on additional ideologies and/or goals. While most modern countries have some form of guaranteed minimum income, a basic income is rare.
A basic income is a proposed system of social security, that periodically provides each citizen with a sum of money that is sufficient to live on. Except for citizenship, a basic income is entirely unconditional. Furthermore, there is no means test; the richest as well as the poorest citizens would receive it.
A basic income is often proposed in the form of a citizen's dividend (a [transfer]) or a negative income tax (a guarantee). A basic income less than the social minimum is referred to as a partial basic income. A worldwide basic income, typically including income redistribution between nations, is known as a global basic income.
One of the arguments for a basic income was articulated by French economist and philosopher André Gorz:
- "The connection between more and better has been broken; our needs for many products and services are already more than adequately met, and many of our as-yet- unsatisfied needs will be met not by producing more, but by producing differently, producing other things, or even producing less. This is especially true as regards our needs for air, water, space, silence, beauty, time and human contact...
- "From the point where it takes only 1,000 hours per year or 20,000 to 30,000 hours per lifetime to create an amount of wealth equal to or greater than the amount we create at the present time in 1,600 hours per year or 40,000 to 50,000 hours in a working life, we must all be able to obtain a real income equal to or higher than our current salaries in exchange for a greatly reduced quantity of work...
- "Neither is it true any longer that the more each individual works, the better off everyone will be. The present crisis has stimulated technological change of an unprecedented scale and speed: `the micro-chip revolution'. The object and indeed the effect of this revolution has been to make rapidly increasing savings in labour, in the industrial, administrative and service sectors. Increasing production is secured in these sectors by decreasing amounts of labour. As a result, the social process of production no longer needs everyone to work in it on a full-time basis. The work ethic ceases to be viable in such a situation and workbased society is thrown into crisis..."
Guaranteed Income: The Way of the Future?Germany is in search of recipes to thin the ranks of its over 5 million jobless. It's the country's main problem, Chancellor Angela Merkel said this week. And entrepreneur Götz W. Werner thinks he's found the answer.
"We are still living under the impression that full employment can be achieved," said Götz W. Werner, whose national drugstore chain, dm-drogerie markt, has made him a millionaire. "The big problem is that many people don't have a work place, they have an income place."
According to Werner, who also holds a professorship at an entrepreneurial institute at the University of Karlsruhe, Berlin should provide people with a tax-financed basic income that would free people from the need to earn money, rather than create jobs for the 12.2 percent of Germans who are unemployed.
Society can fulfill its needs without full employment, Werner said, and it would be better off if it did.
"The work that we are compelled to do can also be done by machines and methods," he said. "Where we have a great potential is work that focuses on people: social work, cultural work."
Ridding people of the burden of work would allow them to devote time to things they actually want to do, whether volunteering at an old folks' home, pursuing dreams of an artistic career or spending more time with their families. And it would relieve millions of people from the stigma of not having a job.
Shift of paradigms
In Werner's scenario, every man, woman and child would receive a monthly allowance that would cover the costs of living, plus a little bit more. The state would finance the new system through a high consumption tax that would replace all current taxes and could be gradually introduced over 20 to 30 years. The non-wage labor costs, such as social welfare and pension contributions, that add to the high cost of German jobs, would be a thing of the past as would the bureaucracies that administer them.
Werner is one of Germany's most vocal proponents of an unconditional basic income, but he's not alone. Thomas Straubhaar, head of the Hamburg's HWWA economic think tank, also backs the idea -- from a different angle. He thinks it's important to move away from a system financed by labor costs in favor of one financed by taxes.
"In the long term, it will be unavoidable to get away from today's system, because it's not financially feasible in some areas," Straubhaar said. But people should receive only the existential minimum so that "the majority will continue to want to, to have to work."
Straubhaar added that Werner's reliance on consumption tax was untenable. Instead, the system could be financed by a combination of high consumption tax -- 25 percent, for example -- and direct taxes of the same level on income from work, rentals, investments, dividends and speculation.
"Don't feed the horses to feed the birds," Straubhaar said, stressing the advantage of shifting from indirect to direct aid for those who need it.
If it's not broken, don't fix it
But others are skeptical.
"I find the suggestions either illusory or brutal," said Gustav Horn, director of the IMK economic think tank in Düsseldorf. "The one side of the suggestion is illusory because it would provide an income up to 1,500 euros ($1,800) for each person. There are no suggestions on the table that deal with financing it adequately. The second version is brutal because the amount that people would receive would be much lower than the current social welfare amount. That would make people already receiving welfare even poorer."
A basic income would allow people to do what they wanted -- even if it meant doing nothingBildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: A basic income would allow people to do what they wanted -- even if it meant doing nothing
Horn said tackling social benefits isn't the way to deal with high unemployment, but that the "problem of the social security system is a result of high unemployment. The real problem is economic policy."
As far as Werner's concerned though, his pet project's time has come.
"More people than ever recognize that the problems that have developed can't be solved with the current solutions," he said. "Unconditional basic income would mean everyone has the freedom to do what he wants. Our democratic aim should be that people have freedom, that means being independent to do what they want to do."

It says to watch the site for updates because of new rules you'll be required to meet for driver's licenses and identification cards that will be acceptable to the federal Department of Homeland Security.
You now get to watch until Dec. 31 of 2009 to see whether Pennsylvania goes along with possibly the most intrusive federal mandate ever regarding the free movement of United States citizens.
Intrusive -- and obnoxious. Originally the state had until May 11 of this year to implement the Real ID -- without which, Homeland Security warns, you wouldn't be allowed, among other things, into a federal building or on an airplane.
But Pennsylvania along with 26 other states screamed bloody murder over the unfunded mandate -- expected to cost up to $100 million in this state alone -- and raised the hackles of officials from Gov. Ed Rendell to both sides of the aisle in the Legislature.
The growing opposition played no little role in the postponement of the Real ID deadline -- the issue is too hot of a potato in an election year and it's to be hoped a new Congress will see the folly of Homeland Security's zeal and rein in this very real threat to freedom.
In attempting to counter the threat of international terrorism, the government's mandate would create a national identification card holding a wealth of personal information -- also kept in a national database -- that could be used by a myriad of state and federal bureaucrats and private business.
But smile, because you're also being told to pay for it.
The national ID initiative as it exists codifies a mob reaction to terror -- "security is all" -- reminiscent of that used by dictatorial and other repressive regimes for political and population control since the mid 19th century.
It has no place in a nation where the ideals of expanding individual freedom are held to be paramount. The battle has to be joined in Washington to repeal this curb on our liberties.
It is a fight none of us can afford to lose.

Op/Ed: Forget Rumors, Will Smith SHOULD be Captain America
There doesn't seem to be anything that gets Internet fandom riled up quite like a good casting rumor, particularly when focused on genre movies based on iconic comic books and beloved literary properties. And this week saw the introduction of a doozy of a big screen comic book casting rumor – MTV's Splash Page reported earlier in the week that actor Derek Luke has heard (and subsequently said out loud) that Marvel Studios has offered the part of Captain America in their planned 2011 adventure The First Avenger: Captain America to superstar Will Smith.
Now there are a thousand and one ways to interpret the validity of what Luke reportedly heard. Will Smith – arguably the surest box office bet in movies today – probably gets serious consideration for just about every leading action/adventure/sci-fi role in pre-production, and if he doesn't, well … he should. Already at the top of the box office food chain domestically and probably even a stronger draw in the international market, in the last year alone Smith just turned hardly household-known properties "I Am Legend" and "Hancock" into well over a billion dollars combined worldwide.
Another simple explanation for the rumor is that Derek Luke might have just heard wrong, or he heard speculation or plain unreliable info. It happens. In fact, Harry Knowles of the infamous Ain't-it-Cool-News is reporting Wednesday that multiple sources at Marvel are telling him that Marvel never "offered the part, nor did they approach or entertain a conversation about Will Smith for Captain America ".
But this is a rare case in which the potential accuracy of the rumor is beside the point. Whether or not Will Smith has actually yet been offered and/or has even been considered for the role is less important than the notion that Will Smith should be offered the role of Captain America … and let's be perfectly clear, he should be offered the role of the Captain America.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves…
First and foremost, the case for Will Smith as Captain America has already been stated clearly – he's a box office golden god, and since Tom Cruise left the "sure-thing" element of his career on Oprah's couch a couple of years back, that sort of status is becoming more and more rare. And lately his knack for "opening" films has overcome even mediocre material.
Say what you want about this summer's original superhero entry Hancock, but a critical hit it was not. Buzz amongst the Internet faithful wasn't even that strong. So unless co-stars Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron have suddenly developed crazy box office mojo, Smith carried that vehicle on his super-powered shoulders alone.
And let's be frank for a second, Captain America is likely in need of a lead with very broad, and strong shoulders. Though arguably having one of the most iconic names and costumes in genre literature – graphic or otherwise – Captain America's simply isn't in the same league with Batman, Superman, or even Spider-Man in terms of the Joe Q. Public factor. Ask a garden variety moviegoer for the alter-ego and basic back-story of those A-list superhero characters and they'll probably hit close to the target.
"Steve Rogers" and "Super-Soldier Serum"?? Probably not so much.
Captain America also has another potential box office stumbling block in its way. If Marvel's current plans stay the course, the comic-book-publisher-now-movie-studio is planning on the film being at least partially (if not completely) a period piece, circa World War II of course. The A-lister Harrison Ford-driven Indiana Jones films notably excepted, period action/adventure is sometimes a tough sell with movie audiences.
Now of course in terms of built-in awareness, Marvel's Iron Man probably even had a lower profile than Captain America, and studio struck gold anyway despite the fact star Robert Downey Jr. had no box office track record to speak of. But despite its now "blue print" comic book movie status, the script-star chemistry that drove the surprise box office success of Iron Man is never easy to manufacture, and more importantly, probably even more difficult to reverse engineer.
The other thing that makes a Will Smith Captain America a fairly sure box office bet is the reason the rumor became such a sensation so quickly. As depicted in the comics for the last 60+ years, Captain America's physical description might be described in another era as "the all-American boy" – i.e. a blond, blue-eyed, square-jawed Caucasian. To take a moment to state the perfectly obvious, Will Smith doesn't match that description. He's about as close to the comic book Captain America in the looks department as Barack Obama is to (as he puts it), "the guys on the dollar bills."
Which is what makes the proposition all the more intriguing. In other, shorter words - in this case, black & white equals green.
Listen, we're not going to make the sociological or political argument that an African-American should be given the role of an iconic American symbol traditionally depicted as a white man based on that fact alone. That would be patronizing and condescending in of itself and so-called political correctness isn't the issue here.
But on the other hand, we'd equally argue there is nothing essential about the Steve Rogers character that requires him to be white, other than historical precedent. And that's not to say that's not important, but essential to success in the broad, international box office market?
Now, this argument will probably be a tough sell in realm of fandom, where fans – somewhat understandably – want big and small screen versions of their long-time heroes to closely match the images they're accustomed to. Look at how much consternation the choice of Daniel Craig stirred up in James Bond circles, simply because he didn't closely physically resemble the actors that came before him (though at this point you'll find little to no resistance left to Craig as 007). But there just isn't anything significant about the character of Steve Rogers – a patriot who wanted to serve his country but couldn't because of a physical disability – that requires him to be of one certain race.
The counter-argument that is already being made, however, is that in the 1940's it's unlikely that an African-American would be chosen by the United States military establishment to become a symbolic poster boy for its war efforts. And that's a legitimate argument. As much as we'd like to think such issues have been put to bed by 2008 (and we may get a partial answer to that question the evening of November 3rd), it would be intellectually disingenuous to turn a blind eye to our own history.
However, is textbook historical accuracy really the point of a comic book movie adaptation? For over 40 years Captain America's historical World War II roots has been at best an occasional and modest influence on the character's comic book adventures. Despite his ongoing status as a living anachronism, Steve Rogers has been depicted as a thoroughly contemporary character (for the uninitiated, he's a member of the "Greatest Generation" living in the modern world - he was thought to have died at the tail-end of WWII and re-emerged in the modern world perhaps 10-15 years ago in "comic book time").
His World War II origins provide fictional "flavor" to the mythos – the exact time period is no more essential to his essence than what year Uncle Ben or Bruce Wayne's parents were killed, or what year an infant from Krypton crash-landed in a Kansas cornfield.
Moreover, Marvel has already provided something of answer to the historically accurate argument. In 2003 the company published the controversial comic book limited series Truth: Red, White & Black, a stark "in-continuity" story that revealed that a secret government program began in the early days of World War II tried to recreate the "super-soldier" serum that gave Steve Rogers his Captain America abilities, using African-American soldiers as test subjects. The story depicts how 300 black servicemen were subjected to potentially lethal genetic experiments in the attempt to recreate the process, mirroring at least one ugly chapter in our nation's history.
Some comic book fans are already arguing that Will Smith could star in an adaptation of this story. Now as much credit as Marvel Comics should get for having the guts to publish this story and placing it their mainstream continuity, no one expects to see a big or small screen adaptation of the story anytime soon. So the for pro-historically-accurate camp, perhaps a subtle combination of elements from that story and Captain America's original origin would be appropriate and in order.
All the story minutia aside, however, the ideal would be for the role to be played by the actor who would bring the most positive qualities to the project, and it would be very hard to argue against Will Smith – from a pure talent or clout standpoint – if those are the terms the decision is based upon.
And while trying not to be cynical or suggest Marvel exploit the infamous "race card" for no other reason than to stir the so-called mixing pot, the dialogue that has in fact already begun would almost certainly intensify where the choice to be made official and would very likely be an ancillary benefit in the marketing of the film.
From comic shops to water coolers to the Op/Ed pages of venerable publications around the country (and perhaps the world), the choice of Smith would put the name and concept of a "Captain America" in the minds and on the lips of millions of people, all potential moviegoers, and we'd all be asking not only ourselves, but each other, what – if anything – the concept means. And while this sort of attention would likely be a tremendous boon to Marvel in the selling of the film, the question is at what cost would this fringe benefit come?
If it's at the cost of having Americans discuss, debate, and even argue questions that may or may not even have right or wrong answers, isn't that discussion alone worthy in of itself?
Would certain factions of fans be upset? Even irate? Almost certainly. But make no mistake; they'd still be first in line opening night. The more relevant question is would the anti-buzz they generate hinder the film's profile with the broader public?
Or to put it more succinctly, who has more formidable box office muscle – Will Smith or the Internet tastemakers?
Wouldn't finding out be half the fun?

Avien Flu
Were you looking for information about Avian Flu? Avien flu is a common misspelling of avian flu.
The avian flu is a virus that naturally occurs in birds, and can be highly contagious among the species. However, close contact with infected birds has resulted in some rare cases in which this virus was transmitted to humans.

Vincent & Kristen
"What gives you a thrill Kristen?"
Forbidden Surrender
The minute I saw Vincent Sorenson, I knew he was trouble. Arrogant. Controlling. Possessive. He was everything I craved, and nothing I needed.
Secret Surrender
I knew that giving in to Vincent Sorenson was a risk, but it was one I was willing to take. I had hidden my heart for so long and for the first time in a long time, Vincent was close to breaking down the walls.
Beautiful Surrender
As our relationship reaches a crisis point, a man from my past returns looking for a second chance. Is my ex really looking for redemption or is his goal something more sinister?
Surrender Audiobook
This bestselling contemporary romance series is now available for the first time ever as one unabridged audiobook. This edition includes: Forbidden Surrender, Secret Surrender & Beautiful Surrender.
Hunter & Lorrie
"There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken."
Lorrie knows that Hunter is exactly the type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas. As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?
Lorrie's semester started off hopeful but ended in disaster. Now, she's even more lost and confused than she was at the beginning of the year. As Lorrie flees to the only family she has left, she has to come to terms with how things ended with Hunter.
Jax & Riley
"I'm gonna enjoy it. Making you sexually frustrated. All that tension. No release."
Everything about him warned me to stay away. I'd seen bad boys before, but he had it all and more. The rippling muscles covered in tatts, the piercing eyes hiding dark secrets, the silky voice that could make a girl come with just a whisper…
Beaten, bruised, and broken, I made a desperate move that would change our lives forever. Just when I thought the worst was behind us, cracks appeared, secrets surfaced, and lies unraveled.

From 1935 the Conservatory took the name of Leonid Sobinov, the famous Russian tenor. Following tradition, usually the artistic director and chief conductor of the orchestra also was the artistic director and chief conductor of the Saratov Philharmonic Orchestra. Chief conductors of the Saratov Conservatory Symphony Orchestra have included such prominent musicians as Nathan Faktorovich, Martyn Nersesyan, and Yuri Aronovich. For many years Roman Matsov worked with the orchestra, which has also performed under the baton of such famous conductors as Mstislav Rostropovich, Karl-Wilhelm Brandt, Konstantin Saradzhev, Nisson Shkarovsky, Gennady Provatorov, and Yuri Kochnev.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A new policy on communication and social media has created a stir at Chicago State University on the city's South Side.
As WBBM Newsradio's Dave Berner reports, new rules say the faculty and staff at Chicago State may not talk to the media, according to a Chicago Tribune report. Only authorized media representatives are now allowed to do so.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Dave Berner reports
Blogs and even Twitter or Facebook posts might have to be approved by the public relations division at the university, the Tribune reported.
The Tribune obtained a copy of the new policy, and said employees who violate it might face termination.
American Association of University Professors director Cary Nelson told the Tribune the policy was "an obscenity and absurdity."
But Chicago State marking and communications director Sabrina Land said in an e-mail to faculty and staff that communication must be handled to safeguard the reputation of the school, the Tribune reported.
Chicago State, at 95th Street and King Drive, has struggled with financial mismanagement over the years, the newspaper reported. A new president, Wayne Watson, was hired in 2009 to clean up the operation.
Last month, CBS 2 and the Better Government Association reported that Watson drew a retirement package of nearly $800,000 when he left the City Colleges of Chicago, plus a $140,000 annual pension, he's also drawing a $250,000 salary at Chicago State University — all of it on the taxpayers' dime.
The BGA also said Watson is getting a sweet lifetime health plan from the City Colleges.

Members of the ACS Committee on Professional Training will present background on the approval process and how it has evolved from its inception in the late 1930s to where it is today. The talks will focus on opportunities and challenges associated with increased flexibility of the curriculum under the 2008 guidelines, and what the approval process could and should look like as we look ahead to the next version of the ACS Guidelines. An important aspect of this symposium is to provide a forum for discussion about opportunities as well as challenges associated with the current guidelines. Areas of focus include: how infrastructure requirements (e.g., contact hours, library resources, faculty size) impact approved programs, programs seeking approval and the ability of programs to educate chemists; and the role of online courses or distance learning. Ample time will be provided for discussion. The Committee welcomes feedback as we begin the process of revising the 2008 Guidelines.

On April 23, 2012, at about 3:00 am, Israeli soldiers broke into the house of Ahmad Abu Hashem, a member of the Popular Committee of Beit Ommar, for the second time in a week. This time they arrested his 15-year-old son Mohamad Ahmad Khalil Abu Hashem. In total, four people were arrested during the raid last night. Three of them are under the age of 18. Those arrested were:
Mohamad Ahmad Khalil Abu Hashem, 15 years old.
Tareq Jamal Khalil Abu Maria, 17 years old.
Badran Jalal Badran Abu Ayash, 15 years old.
Wahed Hamdi Abu Maria, 44 years old.
(More about the children of Beit Ummar- Report DCI) – PDF
The soldiers broke into their houses at night and harassed the families and fired several canisters of teargas. The ambulance was called because people were injured after inhaling the gas.
19 people have been arrested from Beit Ommar so far this month, and 13 of these are under the age of 18. Night raids are almost a nightly occurrence in Beit Ommar, to create fear in the community and to discourage people from resisting the occupation. Residents of Beit Ommar are frequently arrested with no charges held against them, and usually have to pay fines between 1000 and 4000 shekels in order to be released.

One of Aunt Kate's flighty friends claims to be psychically gifted. She recently decided she'd conduct a psychic investigation at Weedpatch and try to clear the house of its unsettled energies.
Illustration: Tim Odland
Boo and I were not gonna miss this. We gate-crashed; toting cameras, a dictaphone, and our black and white splattered composition books. The woman, Liahona – Liahona Glow to be exact – commenced in the living room. There, amid the teetering towers of STUFF, she first issued instructions to participants: "Keep as silent as possible, surround yourselves with white light..." blah blah blah – and then she shook and shuddered her way into a trance. She mumbled and squeaked and twitched and started to implore the spirits in a full-on sing-song. She was practically serenading them. Boo and I and most of the cousins present giggled and guffawed under our breaths.
Suddenly, Lady Liahona launched herself past us and towards the kitchen. She violently pushed through the barely, still-hanging saloon style swinging doors that separate the entry hall from the kitchen and which, at some point in the 1970s, must have been the hip thing to have in houses.
We scurried after her and found her involved in something akin to an interpretive dance. She was pivoting from an almost fixed point in the middle of the room, wobbling 'round in a vague circle and touching first the oven, then the sink, and then the refrigerator. She'd rotate back and touch the same objects in varying order all the while gurgling and humming.
Without warning, she was again aloft and flying past us, back into the hall and up the stairs toward some of the bedrooms. It was a challenge to keep up and at this point she seemed genuinely in another dimension. How she moved so quickly and smoothly through that veritable gamut of boobytraps, without so much as tearing a thread, is itself inexplicable. We, on the other hand, were suffering all sorts of injuries.
We came upon her in the master bedroom. That woman is acrobatic! You'd never guess to look at her, but the contortions she was achieving were surely worthy of a paying audience. Even bad-ass Boo let out a gasp of surprise and awe.
Liahona's teeth were snapping together and chattering in polyrhythms and her lips were stretched and doing what horse lips do – only six times faster. Somehow her tongue would pop in and out of her mouth without being lopped off and dropping to the floor. The woman's body was bent so far back that if she'd reached her arms over her head, they'd touch the floor and she'd be in a standing crab position. She screeched and wailed and sang loud gibberish then kicked both feet into the air at once, twisted her body like a cat does, and belly flopped onto the mangy carpet.
She lie there silent and motionless. We stood there motionless and silent. Finally, Aunt Kate cautiously approached her, gently touched her head and said, "Liahona? Is it you again?" No reply. Another more vigorous pat on the head, "Liahona, are you back?" Liahona slowly rolled over onto her back, spitting out bits of what had been in the carpet and that was now in her mouth. She looked towards her audience and in a weak, breathy voice gasped, "There are many spirits trapped in this house." Like a baseball bat to a crystal ball came the loud, sarcastic tone of Boo. "Yeah, trapped under an avalanche of laundry or stuck to some surface with spilled and drying food like fly paper. It's a roach motel for spirits and the living alike." A slightly hurt glance from Aunt Kate shut her up and doused our giggling.

Worth noting
Mark Bowman is a reporter for MLB.com.
• B.J. Upton has been making an hour-long commute from his Tampa-area home since the start of Spring Training. He will have a chance to play a couple of personal "home games" when the Braves travel to Clearwater, Fla, to play the Phillies on Friday and then send a split squad to play the Blue Jays at Dunedin on Saturday. Both Clearwater and Dunedin are located approximately 20 minutes from his home.
• Luis Avilan's command was not as sharp as usual on Thursday, as he allowed three runs and four hits in the seventh inning against the Nationals. It was the first time for Avilan pitching on back-to-back days this year. He completed one inning in a Minor League game on Wednesday.

Our young ( about 5 years old) fishtail palm has a new frond reaching for the sky.
As you can see in the photo, the " spike " that has been growing for several months is finally beginning to unwind and reveal the " fishtails " inside.
When the frond has fully spread, the palm will be about 14 feet high and about 8 feet in diameter.
At the base, the trunk is only about 10 inches in diameter.
Soon, another spike will spring from the midst of the fronds, and we will watch it grow to a new height, then spread to add more greenery for out garden. I understand that a mature Fishtail Palm can reach a height of 50 feet, or more.

Tom Atkins
Handsome, rugged, versatile and charismatic character actor Tom Atkins was born on November 13, 1935 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Atkins initially became an avid horror film fan in his childhood days; Howard Hawks' immortal classic The Thing from Another World (1951) made an especially strong impression on him as a kid. Tom attended Duquesne University in Pittsburgh and was a member of the Gamma Phi Fraternity. Atkins made his film debut as a rookie police officer in the Frank Sinatra private eye-outing The Detective (1968); it was the first of many police officer roles he has played throughout the years. Tom appeared in two films for director John Carpenter: he is very likable as Nick Castle in the spooky ghost film The Fog (1980) and solid as Rehme in the fantastic futuristic sci-fi/action cult film Escape from New York (1981). Atkins had a nice small role as a disapproving and overbearing father in the wrap-around segments of the immensely enjoyable fright feature anthology Creepshow (1982). He made for a touchingly flawed hero as Dr. Daniel Challis in the unjustly maligned Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982). Tom gave a smack dead-on-the-money terrific performance as weary, cynical and suicidal Detective Ray Cameron in the delightful Night of the Creeps (1986) (this movie is Tom's personal favorite among all the horror films he has acted in). He was once again excellent as the similarly burnt-out Lt. Frank McCrae in the fine Maniac Cop (1988) and impressive as the guilt-ridden heroin smuggler Michael Hunsaker in the exciting blockbuster Lethal Weapon (1987). Atkins had a recurring part as Lt. Alex Diehl on the television series The Rockford Files (1974); he reprised this character in several spin-off made-for-TV movies. Among the television series Tom has done guest spots on are Oz (1997), Xena: Warrior Princess (1995), Walker, Texas Ranger (1993), The Equalizer (1985), Spenser: For Hire (1985), The Fall Guy (1981), Lou Grant (1977), Baretta (1975) and M*A*S*H (1972). Outside of his film and television work, Atkins has had a long and distinguished stage career. He has acted on Broadway in the plays "The Changing Room" (Tom won a 1973 Drama Desk Award for Most Promising Performer), "Keep It in the Family" and "The Unknown Soldier and His Wife". His off-Broadway credits include "Vikings", "Long Days Journey Into Night", "Whistle in the Dark" and "Nobody Hears a Broken Drum". Tom frequently acts in plays held at the Pittsburgh Public Theater; he has garnered plenty of accolades for his outstanding portrayal of Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney in the acclaimed one-man show "The Chief". Tom Atkins resides in Peters Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

2010 Saleen S281 Mustang revealed
The guys at Autoblog got a sneak peek of the new 2010-spec Saleen S281 Mustang via Saleen's Flickr page earlier this month, but now they have revealed the first full look of the car thanks to Brad Barnett over at TheMustangSource.com.
These pictures have confirmed our initial reaction to the teaser photos, which is most definitely positive. Saleen's designers have managed to retain much of the design language that made previous versions of the S281 so popular while updating the style enough to properly flow with the lines of the 2010 Mustang. Like the current model, Saleen will likely offer a variety of engine tuning packages for the 2010 S281 Mustang. These will probably include a naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 with 335 hp and 345 lb-ft of torque and a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 with 465 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque.

After the first radar failure, Air Force Sgt. Allen Montgomery thought it was a coincidence a major drug shipment had entered the United States at the same time.
But it happened again and again, and it became a running joke at his air base.
So Sgt. Montgomery blew the whistle, and soon his nine-year military career was over. He was branded in 1991 as suffering from a "paranoid personality disorder."
"Which is basically just a fancy way of saying I'm a troublemaker," he says. "I went from having top-secret clearance to being too crazy to be in the military."
Now here is Mr. Montgomery, 38, a truck driver living in Indianapolis, sitting among a dozen new friends, all whistle-blowers themselves.
"The Whistle Stop," a pastoral 50-acre farm tucked into the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, about 200 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., is a safe house of sorts for people who report wrongdoing, then endure an emotional battering for it.
Clinical social worker Donald Soeken of Laurel, Md., holds monthly sessions for whistle-blowers and counsels some individually. He bills insurance companies of those who have coverage. Others pay from their savings.
The Government Accountability Project, a Washington-based network for people like Mr. Montgomery, estimates about 1,000 people a month blow the whistle on their public and corporate employers.
Whistle-blowers are often discredited, or dismissed as insane or paranoid, Mr. Soeken says. They generally are ignored, isolated and demoted, or fired for ostensibly unrelated reasons.
The loss of a job can be overwhelming, and emotions intensify as whistle-blowers find themselves blacklisted with other employers, he says.
Depression and anxiety are common. About 10 percent consider suicide.
"I'm a sick old man. The stress is killing me," says Charlie Coffield, 51, a federal mine inspector and safety educator from Moundsville, W.Va., near Wheeling.
"I take 20 pills a day just to function. I'm under constant doctor's care -- all because I want to do my job."
Mr. Coffield fears for his life in an industry known for its occasional violence.
"I'm afraid of being killed -- shot, a car bomb, whatever," he says. "I'm literally afraid for my life. They can kill me, but I'm not going to stop. I can't change who I am. I don't want to see people die."
Mr. Coffield blew the whistle in 1979 at the federal Department of Labor, where he suspected supervisors were taking payoffs from coal companies. He believes unsafe conditions continue in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio because coal operators are not forced to correct them.
Shutting down one mining machine can cost a company $1 million a day in lost production, so paying off inspectors is a small price, he says.
"I have to do my job right," Mr. Coffield says. "I can't just sit back and see people die for no reason. It happens every day. Men are dying. It's crazy. It doesn't have to happen."
At The Whistle Stop, Mr. Coffield learns he is not alone.
Leon Raesly, a counselor from Camp Springs, Md., who works with Mr. Soeken, helps whistle-blowers relate to each other with an exercise involving fruit.
Mr. Raesly takes an orange from the red mesh bag and looks at it. He sniffs it, rolls it in his palm, strokes it. He studies its shape, its dimples, its unripened green spots. And when he knows his orange, he tosses it on the ground.
In a silent circle under a shade tree, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Coffield and the others, all in their mid-30s to early 60s, do the same as Mr. Raesly.
Each stands and retrieves his or her orange, peeling it as Mr. Raesly's soft, hypnotic voice hums along, soothing their frazzled nerves. They eat slowly, contemplating their feelings.
Then they talk, sharing anger, fear, disappointment, loss.
Mr. Soeken can empathize because he became a whistle-blower in 1978 while working for the U.S. Public Health Service in Washington, D.C.
He was assigned to interview federal employees for psychiatric "fitness for duty" exams, which could lead to dismissal. He soon discovered there was nothing wrong with most of them and reported the practice to a Maryland congresswoman. She convened public hearings that ultimately ended the exams in 1984.
Parade magazine wrote about Mr. Soeken in 1991, triggering about 4,000 phone calls and letters. Today, he travels the country testifying as an expert witness in high-profile cases.
At a recent weekend session at The Whistle Stop, whistle-blowers came in all forms, their concerns in all degrees.
Tim Hunter, 50, of Washington, D.C., was a diplomat assigned to spy on Christians who worshipped on U.S. property in Saudi Arabia, a Muslim nation. When he complained that U.S. officials were violating Americans' rights, he was shipped out of the Middle East.
"They investigated me instead of my allegations," he says.
Stephen Buckley, 43, of Bowie, Md., is an environmental engineer who once worked as an internal auditor for the U.S. Department of Energy. His mission was to find governmental waste and mismanagement.
"And when I did, I was fired," he says. They said, 'We meant waste, fraud and abuse in the field, not at headquarters.' "
Arnold Watson, 60, of Lexington, Ky., says he was harassed and threatened by his former employer, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.
He says his ordeal began when he tried to direct the agency away from dam construction and toward soil terracing, a practice he says promotes conservation.
Mr. Watson, who believes some in his agency were taking payoffs from dam builders, resigned in protest.
Sarah, a Washington, D.C., resident who would not give her last name, was recycling coordinator for a northern California community.
She fought the town's decision to use public funds to promote juice boxes as an environmentally friendly product when the containers are actually difficult to recycle.
Her desk was moved next to a copier, her supervisor was changed, and she was isolated from co-workers and barred from talking to the media. Her telephone and mail were monitored, and her job duties were changed.
Sarah resigned on a doctor's advice and later learned that 10 state attorneys general had sued the juice-box maker for false advertising and settled out of court.
"I did not roll out of bed one day and say, 'Today is the day I'm going to be a whistle-blower.' I just tried to protect the public from false advertising and misspent money," she says.
Mr. Montgomery, the former Air Force sergeant, says he knows whistle-blower stories may sound unbelievable because the retaliation seems disproportionate. But he suspects employers strike hard for fear of a domino effect.
"If one person gets away with it, others will follow suit," he says.
Mr. Buckley, meanwhile, is angry with workers who refuse to challenge wrongdoing.
"These are probably people who are Boy Scout leaders in their communities, people who tell little boys how to behave," he says. "Yet they go to work and check their principles at the door."
Mr. Soeken says about half of whistle-blowers are what he calls absolutists.
"They believe in universal moral values and won't budge from that," he says. "That means they're kind of rigid. They won't make up the rules as they go along. They're not good politicians. They don't compromise."
Others he labels utilitarian.
"They believe no one group should have a corner on any one thing," he says. "If the managers are cheating people, they believe that shouldn't go on."
Paralegal Donna Skeen and her husband, attorney David Skeen, work with whistle-blowers in Charleston, W.Va. They have sent three clients to Mr. Soeken, and they say all have changed after therapy with him.
"They begin to see hope. There is life after litigation," Mrs. Skeen says. "It's hard when you're in the throes of a really bad situation. It's hard to think about tomorrow."
Being a whistle-blower is not a decision someone takes lightly, she says.
"A lot of people don't want to get involved because the price is too high," she says. "People do it when they have no choice. If you have a company that is particularly strong ... you don't have to go out and say, 'I'm going to tell the world what you're doing.' All you have to do is internally squeak and you're out.
"And I don't mean out of a job, I mean out of a life."
People who turn to Mr. Soeken before they blow the whistle learn there are right and wrong ways to do it, she says.
"He stands by them if they take the hard path, and believe me, it is a hard path."

One of the latest fashion trends that have been taking the catwalk and streets in the same time for the Spring/Summer season has been denim. We've seen it on jeans, shorts, jackets, skirts but now the shirts come reinvented, oversized and with a masculine allure attached to them. Wearing your boyfriend's clothes doesn't seem anything new because this trend has been already used, but this time it comes prettier and more feminine, perfect for everyday casual-chic wear. Find out next how to look stylish and sexy in your boyfriend's clothes!
The denim textile material has always been a problematic item to
wear if we're talking about something other than basic classic
jeans because mostly the matchy-matchy fashion trend is out and
double denim can be found quite challenging for some to wear, but
that's not really true. Wearing two types of denim can look
fashionable and not at all sloppy only if you know how to wear this
trend and you've got the right attitude to pull it off. If you
don't, don't worry, there are many new fashion trends that you can
choose from. Remember to always wear what you believe in, because
wearing a trend that doesn't appeal to your style will just make
you look ridiculous.
Double Denim
As we said before, double denim is not a fashion crime but only if you know how to wear it. If not, than you better choose the other ways to wear your denim shirt. Dolce & Gabanna's collection for the Spring/Summer 2010 season presented perfectly how is the best way to wear double denim. Choose a pair of baggy ripped off blue jeans and the same shade of shirt. Tuck it into your jeans, use a light or dark colored brown belt, but never choose black here, and some brown boots too. Don't worry about being too matchy-matchy because you won't. Also remember to unbutton your shirt and lift the sleeves up and underneath wear a simple basic T-shirt.
This time, it's no more denim to match. Choose one good denim shirt and a light colored short skirt. This outfit it's simple and effective. Because the shirt is definitely too baggy, the easiest way to look feminine is to tuck it into your skirt and add a belt to your outfit to emphasize your body areas. For shoes you better go with something casual and comfortable, a pair of flats or boho-chic sandals will look fabulous, but if you're a small girl choose some wedges because the shirt may make you look shorter and with some platform wedges you'll be able to stay comfortable all day long.
D&G Spring 2010/Style.comD&G Spring 2010/Style.com
Dresses are the one thing that make women special and rise them above men through their fashion sense, because it's the most feminine thing that ladies can wear, that puts their body in value and still leaves room for mystery along with a romantic or sexy side attached to them. Plus, men could never look good in one-item outfit, ladies can through a dress. Yes, we all love dresses, and men do to, but can you pull it off with a masculine item like the denim shirt? Of course you can.
Take on a beautiful summer dress with many details, floral or chaotic abstract prints, because those will make your outfit pop out and stand through every crowd. Take the masculine denim shirt over, lift the sleeves up and add a thin belt around your waist. Now, the catch stays into the shoes, because they will make your outfit a hit or a total miss. We say to choose from grunge booties, long boots or over-knee socks with wedges or ankle-boots.

In The Footsteps of Shackleton [audio]
tourism/lecturing enquiries for Chris Meintjessee all media by Chris Meintjes in Multimedia Library
Chris in his 'penguin suit' in the Antarctic
'If you are looking for characters' said a friend, 'then you better contact Chris Meintjes...' The first time I met Chris I visited him at his home in Johannesburg; he was listening to opera, drinking red wine, and at the same time trying to control six excitable spaniels. On his walls are sepia images of heroic ancestors with bandoliers, eccentric collectibles and an abundance of pictures from his travels, including one of him in a dinner suit toasting penguins in the Antarctic.
Chris is a marketing consultant, a radio presenter, a well known travel journalist, and a tour leader. He has traveled to over 160 countries; traversed the Himalayas from Bhutan to Burma, followed the length of the silk road across China, visited Easter Island and the Galapagos, explored Madagascar, searched for Kamodo dragons in Indonesia and freshwater seals in Lake Baikal, and travelled in a handmade boat to Timbuktu. He has led numerous tours to Antarctica as well as in the Arctic and Greenland. He also regularly leads opera tours in Italy.
Chris published some of his memories in a top-selling book 'the Borneo Headhunters' Cuckoo Clock'. His forthcoming cookbook is entitled 'a Bachelor's Guide to Pulling Chicks in the Kitchen'. Chris studied to be an opera singer in London and he continues to write on opera. As Chris says, 'GFI (go for it).. the cup is half full, it always is'.
Chris's witty tales are the heart of his best selling books
Chris died in 2013. We mourn his passing, but celebrate his life: a life lived with passion. Roddy
