text: What would be the top brand of collar if you were not going to go with Tri-Tronics. I have had some issues with Tri-Tronics lately and their customer service has not been the same since the switch to Garmin in my experience. I am not looking to get into all of that. I would just like to hear what brands would be a top choice if Tri-Tronics was out of the picture. I know there is Dogtra, Sportdog and D.T. Systems that I mainly see advertisements for. Are there other worthy brands that i have seen? I have done zero research and have no experience with any of them as I have always been a TT guy. What would are some suggestions for other ways to go? I was using the TT Flyway G3.

Monster Turbine Pro Copper In-Ear Headphones
" I was selected to review these headphones in exchange for honest review, that review follows: I have used a lot of different headphones of varying prices and have been enjoying the Monster Turbine Pro Copper headphones ever since I received them.

MP4Nation Brainwavz M1
"Introduction Brainwavz are making another push on their M series earphones and that's good news for those of us looking for a well-priced, high performance earphone. The M1s use a single dynamic driver in a compact plastic and metal shell to deliver a tiny, lightweight earphone with sound that's reminiscent of their more expensive R3 model, but in a much more comfortable package...." --Loquah
Miles Davis Trumpet High Performance In-ear Headphones
"Sound is neutral with a slight mid bass tilt. Highs and lows are well extended. Sound stage is large for an iem. The bass has some impact without being boomy. The treble is clear without roughness. Don't pull hard on the cable. The strain relief is not strong. Hold the Trumpet by the "mouthpiece" end when handling them. If you have the..." --Merfolk
Monster Turbine Pro Gold In-Ear Headphones
" Well, this has been quite the turn of events! I had auditioned a full-sized Monster headphone, which I felt rather negative about, but the Turbine Pro Gold (TPG from here on) caught me quite off guard. Overall, the TPGs are excellent sounding, have superior build quality to many earbuds and IEMs I've owned/seen and offer a wide array of tips for fitted comfort, so let's explore what makes..." --Landis

"Well after a good lengthy burn in (100hrs or so) I feel I am ready to write my full review of the Brainwavz M2. I would like to thank MP4Nation for sending me a pair of the M2 to review. To make it clear, I received this IEM for free, in exchange for a review by me. I was clear with MP4Nation that I would be completely honest in my review, good or bad. To which they responded they would want it..." --dweaver
iBeats Headphones with ControlTalk From Monster® - In-Ear Noise Isolation - Black
"So I'm relatively new to the world of high end headphones, and I've started by experimenting with over the ear cans, I'll move onto IEMs eventually, but I feel like these guys get a bad rap. As for what I like, I like to listen to my electronic music, so the bright (and not overshadowed) highs and thumpy bass make for a good, enjoyable time. I wish the mids were as present, but this is..." --AtomikSound
Monster Miles Davis Tribute Jazz In-Ear Headphones
" I would say that burn-in is a must for this earphone. Before burn-in, the earphone sounded unimpressive. I almost wanted to return or sell it off. It sounded so much better after burn-in. The first thing that I noticed is the bass. There is a good quantity of it (once you get a good seal) but it is not muddy at all. It was very punchy. Using it for movies proved quite..." --regleo
Monster Diddy Beats In-Ear Headphones
"I bought these a year ago for $150. If you have a decent home theater system and you have a club, jazz or disco preset, that's what these sound like. They have a fun grungy club sound to them. I think they are overpriced for what you get, at the time I didn't know any better comming from apple earbuds and JVC Gummies. The bad think about these is they are HEAVY. I weighed theses against..." --JonnyRocket
Monster Gratitude In-Ear Headphones
"Thought I'd give a little love to this iem and write a quick review for it. In my opinion, its one of the closest that monster has gotten to its typical description of "clear highs, smooth mids, and punchy dynamic bass." Build Quality: These are definite build better than some of the other monster iems. Feels sturdy in its metal housing and the right angle jack feels sturdy. The right..." --Cotnijoe

Jason Ratliff
"Life's but a walking shadow", So sayeth The Bard. But when Jason Ratliff named his poster series after Shakespeare's solemn decree, the artist also took it upon himself to brighten the mood. He infuses the shadows cast by everyday people and animals with rainbow hues and comforting geometry. By design, the meaning of each piece is open to the viewer, inviting them to participate in the creative act and discover a meaning of their own. The intent was to leave room for others to co-create, to see what they want to see and find their own connection. Jason Ratliff hails from Indianapolis in the US and is a designer by trade, artist by heart. He aims to create works that charm; playful explorations of mixing intricate illustrations of the mundane with smacks of lively bright colour that breathe life into the otherwise ordinary.

TUPELO – The West Jackson Neighborhood Revitalization Project took two key steps this week.
The city began a three-year project to improve the neighborhood between North Gloster Street and Joyner Avenue in January with the purchase of the blighted apartments at the corner of West Jackson Street and Clayton Avenue.
This week, the last of the six families who lived in the apartment building were relocated. Mayor Jack Reed Jr. said he is proud that the families were able to find better homes that in many cases were less expensive than the West Jackson Street apartments. The cost for a two-bedroom, one-bath unit was $680 a month.
"It will improve the quality of their lives," Reed said.
Three of the families relocated within Tupelo and three relocated to Verona, said code enforcement officer Debra Byrd, who worked with Reed and city chief operating officer Darrell Smith to assist the families.
"Several apartment offices and rental management companies assisted us," Byrd said. "I'm ever so grateful to Anchor Church," which volunteered its assistance in helping families move.
The families were able to relocate by the time the city would have been required to start charging rent, Reed said.
"We're moving forward with the redevelopment of the neighborhood," Reed said.
Also this week, city planners held a collaborative session with architects, contractors, developers, real estate agents and city council representatives to get input for creating an inviting neighborhood for middle-income families that blends well with the cottage styles in the Gravlee and Joyner neighborhoods.
The planning department invited 27 people and had nearly 40 attend Thursday.
"We had incredible response and enthusiasm," said B.J. Teal, city development services director.
The city has committed $1.83 million for the project. Plans call for the purchase of blighted properties, demolishing buildings that can't be salvaged and improving the neighborhood's utility infrastructure and streetscape in phases. The open lots will be sold to private developers who will build homes aimed at middle income families. A citizen-driven committee backed by the city's professionals will oversee the revitalization effort.

"If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles."
Doug Larson
"Gardening is akin to writing stories. No experience could have taught me more about grief or flowers, about achieving survival by going, your fingers in the ground, the limit of physical exhaustion." – Eudora Welty
"Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind. Henry James
Random ramblings and recollections: I recently wrote about having fishing fever.
Well, my friend Cheryl and I had an opportunity last week to wet a hook or two in a beautiful lake in Yalobusha County, thanks to our friend Jean Bailey Kirk.
The moment my first cast hit the water, my cork disappeared and I reeled in a beautiful bass. Feeling the early catch foreshadowed a fortunate day of fishing, I released the bass back into the lake.
Minutes later, Cheryl caught what we believe to have been the same bass. Again, it was given a reprieve.
And those, my friends, were the only bites of the day.
But it was sunny and warm and fun. And we can't wait to go back and try again.
• My dad, a green-thumbed gardener from way back, visited last Sunday afternoon and built for me a raised bed so I can plant some vegetables.
We made a quick trip for the needed lumber, picked the sunniest place in the backyard and then Dad built the bed.
It will be a small plot, easy to manage, and after discussing with my dad all the many things I wanted to grow, he's said it can easily be done. He will even come back and help me plant.
The best part of it all – Dad has offered some of the leftover plants and seeds that did not go into his own garden this spring.
My hopes are high that, by the time this is being read by you kind folks, there'll be Vidalia onions, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce ready to take root in my little east Tupelo garden.
Yum. I can taste the fresh salad now.
• I've tiptoed around it, but it's time to talk about the elephant in the middle of the room. Carol. The pachyderm that's been on our minds most of the week.
If you're a human being with any modicum of decency, you have been appalled and heart-sickened by the inane, idiotic actions by one or more cowards who shot at an innocent circus elephant visiting our town.
The good news is she is going to be OK. But I imagine she was scared. And I imagine it hurt her. No living thing – human or animal – deserves that.
I loved the fun fact that my friend Travis Childers, a Democrat and good person, was the very first person who called and started the reward fund with his own money. A donkey reaching out to help an elephant.
It's not something I'll ever forget.
Nor will Carol.

Because of some bizarre sort of stuff, or just because I had shown some talent at programming classes (I'm so modest :)), my prof came talk to me about the new server that is going to replace all the current student-based servers. It's going to run all the student accounts and it's gonna be called "citrinix". After some talking about my new project (more about this ahead), he proposed me to sysadmin it, once it's ready. I made him see how little I knew and how unsecure things could get if the bofh of that machine wasn't an experienced one, but he replied saying that the experience had to come from somewhere. I got pretty excited with it, but it's going to mean alot more hard work and alot of hours spent studying security related topics, but I think it's worth the shot.

So... about my new project. It was kinda described in my precious post, but I'll list all the steps that I can see know to achieve success:

HATTIESBURG – The best men's basketball teams in Conference USA have a chance to polish their NCAA resumes this afternoon as league leader Memphis visits Southern Miss.
Tipoff is set for 3 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network.
Southern Miss (18-5, 7-1) held a share of the C-USA lead until Wednesday's 60-58 loss at Central Florida snapped a 10-game winning streak.
Memphis (19-3, 8-0) is on a 13-game winning streak since a mid-December loss to Louisville.
The Tigers have won their last nine road games – the longest such streak in the country. The Golden Eagles, meanwhile, have the nation's fourth-longest homecourt winning streak, 23 games.
The last time Memphis lost on the road was a 75-72 loss in Hattiesburg last season. The Tigers have won 18 of the last 19 games in the series.
It's the first game in the long-running rivalry series for new Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall. Memphis, which leads the series 64-24, will leave for the Big East after this season.
close matchup
The league rivals appear to be a close matchup on paper, with both averaging 73.6 points per game. Southern Miss averages 58.4 on defense – tied for 25th nationally – while Memphis gives up an average of 63 points per game.
In projected RPI, Southern Miss is 36th and Memphis 37th at realtimerpi.com. Today's game will be the first real "quality" win for either team this season.
Junior guard Joe Jackson leads Memphis with a 13.8-point scoring average. Dwayne Davis, a 6-foot-5 senior, leads Southern Miss in scoring (12.9).
The teams meet again on Feb. 23 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.

July is perhaps still best known for her performance art, and a live-action effect flavors these 16 stories. All but two are told in the first person, and they often read like monologues; the classic no-no of reading the "I" as the author is unavoidable. In the single-page "The Moves," a father teaches his daughter his finger movements for getting a woman off. "There were twelve moves in all. He did them on my hand like sign language. . . . Still fingers held like silence for a beat, and then long quick strokes that he called 'skinning.' " Creepy? Maybe. But for the narrator — who remembers his advice "Don't wait to be sure or you'll miss the boat" — it's solace, inspiration. "Each morning when I try to motivate toward something positive," she says, "I think of him saying this, and it is a great comfort." Readers may find such statements less reassuring. That July's characters don't flinch in her scenarios — a phone-sex habit between two sisters; a woman happening upon author Madeleine L'Engle's husband having an affair; two middle-aged men finding each other on ecstasy — makes the stories all the more unsettling.
July practices the whole magic-in-the-quotidian routine, and she does it well. In "Something That Needs Nothing," a teenage runaway falls hard for a girl who's giving her a ride in a van: "I looked out the window for other passengers in love with their drivers, but we were well disguised, we pretended boredom and prayed for traffic." "The Swim Team" seems at first a bit of whimsy: a woman in Nevada gives swimming lessons to three geriatrics in her kitchen, and July conveys the joy of these octogenarians doing the butterfly across the floor. But the narrator/swim coach's impulse is sparked by a moment of uneasiness: "I was looking down at my shoes on the brown linoleum floor and I was thinking about how I bet this floor hadn't been washed in a million years and I suddenly felt like I was going to die. But instead of dying, I said: I can teach you how to swim. And we don't need a pool." These "swimmers" — at the end of their lives — are all that the narrator has. July dances between innocence and the discomfort of awareness.
The isolation and the yearning for connection manifest themselves in these characters' emotional clumsiness. Will they cry or kiss? Touch or walk away? A special-needs assistant has an affair with one of her teenage students; two teenage girls run away together and prostitute themselves to pay the rent; an accountant's secretary joins a sewing class to connect with her boss's wife; two women at a romance seminar meet and weep. The eroticism is, by turns, dank, chilling, fervent, wonderful. The situations — often inappropriate, sometimes illegal — are as alluring as they are repellent. We might shudder, but July makes it difficult to look away.

Good day today so far. I got up early and ran some errands, and then I made myself spanish-style fried potatos with aioli and eggs sunny side up for lunch.
Then Steph and I went up to the Marin Headlands - there are some really breathtaking views of the Bay, the Golden Gat Bridge, the Ocean, and San Francisco from there. Wow! It was warm and sunny and we pumped Kruder & Dorfmeister on the way there. For dinner I'm making myself gnocchi in tomato vodka cream sauce. It's coming out pretty good - the alchohol in the vodka burns off and what remains does not have much flavor in itself, but it makes the tomatos sweeter and brighter. Search for a recipe on google some time. Goes best with gnocchi, or tube or shell pasta.
I think later on I'll hit the gym and maybe go to a club or go see Iron Monkey. I'm feeling pretty good today.
I'll probably have to pitch in and fix the Nautilus performance issues for 1.0.5. That's hard to balance with gnome-vfs hacking, oaf hacking, reviewing the HIG and may day job....
Oh well.

Hello, Everyone! We hope you're having a great week so far! This week's photo was taken in St. Joseph by Tim Malott and posted to our Facebook wall. What a beautiful shot! We have more, so keep reading!
A couple of weeks ago we mentioned the Readers Digest "We Hear You America" contest, and a winner has been declared! Congratulations to Grand Marais for their 1st prize of $40,000!
February is Black History Month, and The Detroit News has put together a great list of events for those living or traveling to the Metro Detroit Area.
Writing in Michigan has compiled a list of writing-themed events happening throughout the year all over the state. From workshops to author signings, scribophiles can't go wrong with this list.
Four days a year, the Department of Natural Resources allows people to fish for free! The first pair of days is February 19th and 20th. Coinciding with the free weekend, many state parks will have special events, along with clubs and conservation organizations hosting events as well. This is a special treat, so get out there and take advantage of it!
Last year Holland was named the 2nd happiest and healthiest place to live in America, and made national headlines. A Brooklyn, New York woman saw the coverage and was inspired to send Holland $250, and asked them to pay it forward. Inspired by this, the city created the Pay It Forward Holland initiative. Those who perform a good deed are given a card that can be sent to others, encouraging the community to "pay it forward." There is a place to track the cards and see how the good will is affecting others.
Did you know that Detroit was recently named the Angriest City in America? We aren't sure we agree with that decision, and are even more encouraged to join others in Detroit this weekend when they try to break the Guinness record for World's Largest Group Hug during the Winter Blast Festival. Come to Detroit and make history!

Students from Princeton's Department of Music will present a classic tale in a 20th-century context with "The Return of Ulysses" at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 9-10, in Richardson Auditorium of Alexander Hall. Claudio Monteverdi's opera is a compelling account of the return of Ulysses (senior Adam Fox), right, from war to his faithful wife Penelope (junior Alexis Rodda), left, after a 20-year absence. In conjunction with the performance, an interdisciplinary conference, "Performing Homer: From Epic to Opera," will take place Friday evening and all day Saturday in McCormick Hall.

Classic tale given a 20th-century context in Princeton's 'Ulysses'
Posted January 7, 2009; 10:26 p.m.
Princeton University students will present "The Return of Ulysses," Claudio Monteverdi's opera about desire, greed and marital fidelity, with a 20th-century twist at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 9-10, in Richardson Auditorium of Alexander Hall.
In conjunction with the performance, an interdisciplinary conference titled "Performing Homer: From Epic to Opera" will take place Friday evening and all day Saturday in McCormick Hall.
The students of Music 214, "Projects in Vocal Performance," will present the opera. Music direction will be by Michael Pratt, conductor of the Princeton University Orchestra and director of the Program in Musical Performance, and stage direction will be by Andrew Eggert, who has spent the fall semester as a lecturer in the Department of Music.
While the original work is set during the Trojan War, stage director Andrew Eggert has set his production during World War I. Here, from right, Eggert works with Fox and Rodda on the final scene of the opera.
Eggert is a freelance stage director with extensive experience in baroque opera. He has worked with professional companies including Chicago Opera Theater and Glimmerglass Opera, and studies musicology at Columbia University, where he is writing a dissertation on the staging of 17th-century opera.
Based on well-known episodes from Homer's "Odyssey," Monteverdi's opera, with libretto by Giacomo Badoaro, is a moving and dramatically compelling account of Ulysses' return from the Trojan War to his home in Ithaca and his faithful wife Penelope after a 20-year absence. Eggert's production, set during World War I, provides a vibrant 20th-century context for this classic tale.
Eggert will be assisted in the production by set designer Christopher Gorzelnik, lighting designer Liz Lammer, costume designer Marie Miller and assistant stage director Micaela Baranello.
This performance of Monteverdi's opera is part of a continuing collaboration on Baroque opera involving musicologists and performers at Princeton led by Pratt and Wendy Heller, professor of music. Pratt first conducted Monteverdi's "The Coronation of Poppea" in January 2001, and since that time Pratt and Heller have worked together on productions of two operas by Monteverdi's younger contemporary, Francesco Cavalli, "La Calisto" and "Egisto."
Those planning to attend the opera are invited to McCormick Hall at 4 p.m. Friday for a preconcert symposium presented by Heller and students of Music 515, "Topics in the History of Opera." No registration is necessary.
The conference "Performing Homer: From Epic to Opera" will feature an international roster of scholars considering the performative qualities of Homer's epic from a variety of perspectives, including classics, drama, comparative literature, musicology and art history. Heller, who also is director of the Program in Italian Studies and a specialist in 17th-century Venetian opera, is organizing the conference.
Distinguished speakers will include Ellen Rosand, author of "Monteverdi's Last Operas: A Venetian Trilogy," and Edith Hall, author of "The Return of Ulysses: A Cultural History." The conference is sponsored by the Department of Music, Program in Renaissance Studies, Program in Italian Studies and Program in Hellenic Studies, with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Hellenic Fund and the David A. Gardner '69 Magic Fund through the Council of the Humanities.
Tickets to the opera are $10 for general admission or free for students. They are available online at University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220.
The conference is free but pre-registration is requested by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on the opera and conference, visit the conference website.
Penelope and the gardener Eumaeus (Princeton voice teacher David Kellett) await the arrival of Ulysses.

The shiny, red-hued glaze will make this year's turkey even more special!
Leftover glaze is divine drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
The timetable is based on chilled or completely thawed turkeys at a temperature of about 40°F and placed in preheated ovens. Differences in the shape and tenderness of individual turkeys also can necessitate increasing or decreasing the roasting time slightly. For prestuffed turkeys, follow package directions very carefully; do not use Timetable.
You can vary the flavor of the stuffing when you try other dried fruit in place of the dried cranberries.
To bake stuffing separately, place in greased 3-quart casserole or 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Cover and bake in 325°F oven 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer.

At least 42 journalists are killed in 2010 as two trends emerge. Suicide attacks and violent street protests cause an unusually high proportion of deaths. And online journalists are increasingly prominent among the victims. A CPJ special report
Two years have passed since the killing of El Diario journalist José Armando Rodríguez Carreón, known to his friends as "El Choco," and no legal process has begun to shed light on the crime committed on November 13, 2008. Faced with the reality of impunity, his widow, Blanca Martínez, asserted that her only hope lies in God.
The line of people at the stairs leading down to the Great Hall at Cooper Union in lower Manhattan formed early and turned into an audience of 500. They came to hear prominent Mexican and U.S. writers and free expression advocates assess, denounce, and seek solutions to the wave of violence wracking Mexican media.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Terrapin Technologies, a leading solution provider to broker-dealers, has released the second in a series of "Industry Perspectives" papers that address important topics in the financial services industry. "Between Exams: Preparing for a FINRA Exam When You Don't Think You Need To" presents guidelines and strategies for preparing for future FINRA exams.
"The increasing cost of compliance – in time and money – is something broker-dealers face every day," said Kristefor Lysne, President of Terrapin Technologies. "So we wanted to write something that would potentially help improve compliance procedures. The more we talked to compliance professionals, the more it became clear that the time to improve is when a FINRA exam isn't on the near horizon."
The paper – which focuses on utilizing FINRA resources, investing in software, testing often, and promoting a compliance-friendly culture – was based on interviews with five compliance experts from around the country. "Together, these experts have over a century's worth of experience in financial services compliance," said Lysne. "We think that what they have to say will be of interest to broker-dealers everywhere."

In recent years, containers have taken the world by storm. Companies of all sizes and industries have realized the massive benefits of containers, such as unprecedented mobility, higher hardware utilization, and increased flexibility and agility; however, many containers today are non-persistent. Containers without persistence miss out on many benefits, and in many cases simply pass the responsibility of persistence onto other infrastructure, adding additional complexity.

It's been a rough couple of months for big bond-fund managers, especially for the Bond King, Pimco's Bill Gross, whose flagship Pimco Total Return fund (PTTAX) is not only losing money on the year but it's lagging the majority of its peer group, mostly thanks to some bad bets on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS, which have lagged as rates have risen but inflation has not.
Gross's form of licking his wounds involved buying more Treasuries in June, as Bloomberg's Susanne Walker reports today:
The proportion of U.S. government debt in the $268 billion Total Return Fund rose to 38 percent, from 37 percent in May, according to data on Pimco's website. The Newport Beach, California-based company doesn't comment directly on monthly changes in holdings or specific types of securities within a market sector, such as the percentage of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities in the U.S. grouping.
Gross had been buying TIPS on a bet that money printing by the world's central banks would push up consumer prices, making Treasuries the largest portion of the fund. When yields began to rise in May on expectations the Federal Reserve would slow its bond-buying program, inflation expectations didn't, amplifying the losses on inflation-hedged U.S. debt. The world's largest mutual fund fell 4.7 percent in May and June, prompting $9.9 billion in withdrawals last month, the most on record.
The story reports that Gross also upped the fund's holdings of mortgage securities, the fund's second largest holdings, to 36% last month from 34% in May, and to make room he cut non-U.S. developed nations' debt to 5% from 7% in May.

The main bug I uncovered has to do with what is turning out to be perhaps the trickiest part of the Bento implementation: name resolution. Bento has a very versatile and powerful name space model, designed to support numerous patterns and techniques (delegation, overriding, hierarchies, abstract definitions, etc.). The way a name is resolved is intimately connected to the context: what object is being instantiated at that moment. What makes it complicated is that objects are subclassable and composable, so any number of objects might be being instantiated at one time. I've been trying to minimize the amount of contextual information I have to pass around, but as I define increasingly complex objects I keep running into cases which require more information.
Unfortunately increasingly complex objects also lead to increasingly convoluted debugging traces.
Meanwhile, Sourceforge is moving glacially on the bento project hosting request, and no one on the OSI license discussion list seems to have anything to say about the bento license. Pesky humans.

I'm thinking of adding this to the MMO I'm working on... Players will absorb a portion of the enemies power they slay. The bonus power decays over time and is completely lost when they die. It also has diminishing returns. Players become battle hardened and gain less than previous kills.
If a player is killed by another player they will gain a percentage of the slain players power.
The bonus power is pretty much just a stat boost.
what do you think? Sound like an interesting mechanic?

Center for Restorative Justice Gives Hope to Victims, Offenders
Loyola Law School's Center for Restorative Justice (CRJ) hosted its second-annual "Another Way Conference" in the spring 2012 semester, and it was just one example of the center's innovative holistic approach to criminal justice and reform. It brought together a cross-section of legal experts, politicians, social workers, law enforcement officials and many more for a timely discussion of restorative justice issues.
The day-long event was titled, "Imagining the Future of a Justice that Restores." The conference, which was held at Loyola Marymount University's (LMU) Westchester campus, illustrated the various ways in which current restorative justice theories and practices in the United States mesh with traditional Jesuit teachings. Each panel highlighted a different facet of the problems facing America's correctional system. The morning started with a conversation between LMU president David W. Burcham '84 and Tani Cantil-Sakauye, chief justice of the California Supreme Court.
Juvenile justice was a major topic at the event as California lawmakers were debating the passage of SB9. According to the group Fair Sentencing For Youth, the proposed law would provide a young person sentenced to life without parole the opportunity to "petition a court to review his or her case after serving between 10 and 25 years in prison. If the offender meets certain criteria, the court would review the case and decide, after listening to all sides, if a lower sentence should be imposed."
On Sept. 30, 2012, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law SB9. CRJ Director Scott Wood said that the new law would be an important improvement to the current system. "It's terrible to think that you've got a couple hundred people in California prisons who are given a sentence that says 'you're going to die in prison.' They got that when they were 14, 15 years old. It's just something
that's better," Wood said.
Francisco ("Franky") Carrillo, Jr., who served 20 years in Folsom State Prison on murder charges for which he was later exonerated and is now an undergraduate student at LMU, spoke of the death penalty's effect on the Latino community. The center named its annual award in honor of Carrillo, Jr., and bestowed the award posthumously this year to restorative-justice advocate Herbert David Blake. Carrillo and Blake met at Folsom while Blake was serving a sentence for a murder he did commit and the two became close friends.
Second-year law student Peter Borenstein was first introduced to the principles of restorative justice while working for the Center for Court Innovation's Youth Court in Brooklyn, NY, and said he chose to attend Loyola based on the national reputation of the school's restorative justice program.
"Loyola is definitely the best school that has anything resembling a restorative-justice program. I think we're really lucky," Borenstein said. He agrees with Wood that the center is well positioned to be a restorative justice leader in Southern California and beyond, but added that the key to its success is the hard work of Wood and Seth Weiner, CRJ co-director, in building a coalition of partners. "Both Professor Wood and Seth are pretty amazing at networking and making connections," Borenstein said. "I don't think that's really happening anywhere else."

When you're working out, whether to tone or reshape your body, one key enemy is excess body fat. Too much body fat can camouflage a well defined shape and lean muscle tone. While it's not possible to isolate one area of your body to lose weight, these four ingredients are proven to help fight body fat.
Learn how these four everyday foods/ingredients can help you burn body fat.
Green Tea
This ancient liquid is full of healthy, fat-burning benefits. Green tea is powerful and a little goes a long way. In fact, studies show that people who take three doses of green tea extract per day experience a three and a half percent increase in calorie burning in a 24 hour period. That much fat burning is sure to produce results and increased weight loss over time. So, here's to green tea. Be sure to drink up the next time you have the chance.
Featured Events
Cinnamon is a tasty addition to many pastries and carbohydrate rich foods. However, it's not just for spicing things up. Cinnamon is key in regulating insulin and blood glucose levels. Over time the positive benefits of insulin regulation can be measured, but the effects blood glucose control are immediate. This is great news, but a bit of caution. Don't use this as an excuse to load up on pastries sprinkled with cinnamon. Instead, find ways to incorporate cinnamon into your cooking routine and you'll be sure to see the benefits in no time.

Hot Pepper
The hotter, the better. Thermogenesis is a process by which the body releases calories in the form of heat. Sprinkle your food with a little capsaicin (hot pepper) and your body will begin the process of thermogenesis. An added bonus? After consuming your meal and while your body is working overtime to release calories via heat, you can expect your calorie burning rate to reach 10 percent above your normal rate of calorie burning. That extra 10 percent is equivalent to about 125 calories extra burned per meal. Increase the heat and enjoy the benefits of hot pepper. Just be sure to keep a glass of milk around to cool down.
More: Sweet and Spicy Nuts Recipe
CoffeeCoffee is an awesome pick-me-up in the mornings, or after those really long afternoon meetings. You might have heard different things about coffee and the amounts of caffeine it provides. But drink up, because like green tea, coffee has fat-burning qualities that translates into big losses in calories over time. The caffeine in just one cup can boost calorie burning by four percent over the course of two and half hours. Not bad for the old cup of Joe. Skip all the added sugars and creams in order to reap the full benefits of the fat burning that coffee can provide. Your best bet? Black coffee.
It's important to know that you can enjoy foods and get more out of them than just taste. These four foods and ingredients prove that when you know what to look for, you can be confident in your food journey and reap the benefits.

During the physical exam, your doctor will check both breasts for lumps and other problems. Depending on your age and the characteristics of the lump, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following tests:
Breast ultrasound. If you're younger than age 30, your doctor may recommend breast ultrasound instead of a mammogram to evaluate a breast lump. Dense breast tissue in younger women makes mammograms difficult to interpret.
If you're younger than 30 and have a lump that can be felt, you'll likely start with an ultrasound to evaluate the lump and then have a diagnostic mammogram if needed to further assess the lump. If you're older than 30, you'll likely have a diagnostic mammogram of both breasts followed by an ultrasound to assess the lump.
Breast ultrasound can help your doctor determine whether a breast lump is solid or filled with fluid. A solid mass is more likely a fibroadenoma, and a fluid-filled mass is more likely a cyst.

The author of numerous essays on Japanese national identity and international relations, Tamamoto contributed to a report recently published by the Woodrow Wilson Center of Washington, D.C. "The People vs. Koizumi? Japan-U.S. Relations and Japan's Struggle for National Identity" includes three interpretations of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's support for U.S. activities in Iraq and the perception gap between Japanese elites and ordinary citizens. Tamamoto declares that Koizumi has pushed the public farther than it wants to go in the direction of militarization, and that casualties in Iraq could bring down Koizumis government.
The World Policy Institute is part of New School University in New York. Tamamoto, who resides in Japan, was a MacArthur Foundation fellow in international peace and security at Princeton in 1988-89.
His lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination .

Caribbean Celebration FoodArroz con Gandules is the meal everyone in the Caribbean enjoys for the holidays or other celebrations with family and friends. After all, rice and pigeon peas is the classic holiday meal.
This Arroz con Gandules recipe only needs a few essential GOYA® pantry staples, so your family can make Arroz con Gandules for celebrations all year round.
Serves 4
Prep time: 25 min.
Total time: 1 hour
1 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Ľ lb. country ham, cubed
˝ green bell pepper, chopped (about ˝ cup)
˝ yellow onion, chopped (about ˝ cup)
2 packets Sazón GOYA® with Coriander and Annatto
1 tbsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp. GOYA® Oregano
1˝ cups GOYA® Medium Grain Rice
1 can (15 oz.) GOYA® Green Pigeon Peas
4 oz. GOYA® Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup GOYA® Manzanillas Olives Stuffed with Minced Pimientos, sliced
|Heat oil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ham to pan; cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in peppers and onions; cook, stirring occasionally, scraping up brown bits from bottom, until vegetables are soft and translucent, 10 minutes. Add sazón, garlic, cilantro and oregano. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
|Add rice to pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until coated in oil and toasted, about
1 minute. Stir in pigeon peas, tomato sauce, olives and 1˝ cups water; using a wooden spoon, stir once and bring rice mixture to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until water is evaporated, about 10 minutes. Gently stir rice from bottom up.
|Lower heat to medium low and cook, covered, until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Gently fluff rice with fork. Cover pan and let stand 5 minutes.
The crust of rice that forms on the bottom of the pot is a delicacy referred to in Puerto Rico as pegao. Once the rice is served, the pegao is scraped out and distributed as a treat. To achieve the perfect crust – caramelized and crunchy, but not burnt –once the water has evaporated, scrape the bottom of pan with the wooden spoon, making sure to dislodge any stuck bits [Step 2]. This will prevent the rice from burning. Then, allow the rice to cook over medium-low heat, and refrain from shaking the pot or lifting the lid. This will ensure an even distribution of heat on the bottom of the pot, which, in turn, allows the perfect pegao to form.

Following is a letter to the editor printed in yesterday's LA Times regarding the new film John Q. As exciting as the film industry can be at times, it is important for everyone to remember that it is still an industry like any other, be it for automobiles, clothing, or computer components. Southern California has always been the hub of this industry, providing a home base for the executives in charge as well as the "blue-collar" workers who actually get in the trenches to make the movies...until now. Actually, for the past 5 or so years, for various reasons including NAFTA, those above-the-line (executives, A and B actors, directors, producers) have gotten continually richer while the rest of us have scrapped by in an attempt to just stay alive. So while it may sound "exotic" for movies to "go out into the world" to shoot the shots that are needed, all too frequently it is for no other reason than to "save money" for the studios so that they can line their own pockets with the growing profits at the box office...at the expense of the American worker not to mention the "foreigner's" who are paid far less than they should be for the same hard work that we have been doing here for over 50 years. The workers in every country are being cheated by the suits. That's the background for the following letter:
Los Angeles Times, Saturday, February 16, 2002 Section F, page 6
Letters: Looking at Some Recent Movies and the Hypocrisy of John Q
I recently had the opportunity to see an advance screening of the new Denzel Washington film, John Q, the story of a blue-collar family whose insurance wont cover their sons heart transplant. Not only did the film have more expository dialogue than the owners manual for the space shuttle, it was a slap in the face for any American without adequate health insurance, myself included.
One of the lessons learned in becoming an adult is that life is full of hypocrisy. This is especially true in the entertainment industry. As a member of the human race and of the entertainment industry, I accept that. But this film and the filmmakers are so hypocritical, J. Edgar Hoover looks like a straight shooter in comparison. In truth, it would laughable if it were not so cruel.
The film serves up a litany of facts and figures to drive home the point of how terrible the American health-care system is a fact many of us know all too well. Without insurance in America, you cannot get the care you need. Without a full-time job, you are not eligible for complete coverage, and thats if your employer even offers health insurance.
The hypocrisy of all this is that the film was shot in Canada. Hey, caring filmmakers, how many men and women here in Southern California will not qualify for benefits this year because they were unable to work the required hours to be eligible? Did anyone on the set even think of this when the lead character complains he cannot get enough hours because so many jobs have gone to Mexico?
As a person who works in the film industry and has not qualified for insurance for years, this was nothing more than adding salt to an open wound. An injury I am sure insurance doesnt cover.

By The Associated Press
OXFORD — Mississippi Department of Transportation plans to replace all the wooden bridges along a highway heading into the Taylor community in Lafayette County.
"The project could take two to three years before it's complete," MDOT District Engineer Mitch Turner tells the Oxford Eagle.
Turner said there are eight bridges along Mississippi Highway 328 — one of two connecting roads between Oxford and Taylor.
"These are 20 to 30-foot wooden bridges," Turner said. "They will be replaced with concrete and be a good deal wider and safer to drive across."
The job will go out for bid in July. Turner said construction could begin in August or September.
MDOT has already purchased any required land needed for the new, wider bridges. The rights of way for the project were acquired in June 2012.
"We didn't have to buy very much," Turner said.
The bridge project is under MDOT's regular bridge replacement program and has been on the agenda for several years.
"We started working on this in early 2010," Turner said. "It's one of those projects that MDOT determined it was time to bump up on the priority list."
Turner said the estimated cost for the new bridges is $9.1 million.

This is a picture of one I called up for a good friend (Me on the left). He'd shot a jake a few years before in the sandhills of N.C. and blew the beard off the bird when he shot. This was his first longbeard. It hung up about 65 yards off and gobbled 75 times or so. No amount of pleading would get him to come closer. Finally, he gave in to some sweet purrs, but managed to stay behind some brush away from the shooter's clear view. The gobbler turned and went back to where he had been & continued to gobble. I slipped down into the creekbed and moved 50 yards farther the opposite direction from him to call and the gobbler came back for a 35 yard shot.
That was in the days of no glasses and no grey hair for me. That was some Spartan camo I'm wearing from around 1989 or '90. It doesn't seem like that long ago, but I guess it was.

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
Like clockwork, cynical calls to expand mass surveillance practices—by continuing the domestic telephone records collection and restricting access to strong encryption—came immediately following the Paris attacks. These calls came before the smoke had even cleared, much less before a serious investigation completed. They came from high places too, including CIA head John Brennan and New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton.
Seasoned law enforcement officers and the heads of spy agencies should know better than jump to conclusions before the facts are in. Sadly, these premature demands for more surveillance in the wake of tragedies are not unprecedented.
We all know justice is blind. But that is supposed to mean that everyone before it is treated equally, not that the justice system must close its eyes and refuse to look at important legal issues facing Americans. Yet the government continues to convince courts that they cannot consider the constitutionality of its behavior in national security cases and, last week, in an important case for anyone who has ever used Wikipedia, another judge agreed with that position.
Being Muslim can't be the basis for law enforcement surveillance. That was the message from the Third Circuit on Tuesday when it told the plaintiffs in Hassan v. The City of New York that their lawsuit could go forward. The plaintiffs are suing over the New York Police Department's suspicionless mass surveillance operation revealed by the Associated Press in 2011.
EFF, along with the Center for Democracy and Technology and others, have created a "Myths v. Facts" sheet about one of the main laws used to spy on innocent, unrelated, users: Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The document is a response to the United States Intelligence Community's derision of the recent European Court of Justice (ECJ) decision.
The spread of knowledge about the NSA's surveillance programs has shaken the trust of customers in U.S. Internet companies like Facebook, Google, and Apple: especially non-U.S. customers who have discovered how weak the legal protections over their data is under U.S. law. It should come as no surprise, then, that the European Court of Justice (CJEU) has decided that United States companies can no longer be automatically trusted with the personal data of Europeans.
The court, by declaring invalid the safe harbor which currently permits a sizeable amount of the commercial movement of personal data between the EU and the U.S., has signaled that PRISM and other government surveillance undermine the privacy rights that regulates such movements under European law. In the word's of the court's press release:

Communication is possibly the most important part of leadership. Without communication we can not share our vision, provide motivation, and articulate purpose.
We all know that we constantly communicate. We do this both verbally and non verbally. The way you act is just as important as the way you talk. The way you stand is just as important as what you say. And how you say it can redirect the meaning so as to give your listener a totally different picture of what you are trying to communicate. At some point in Scouting or in your life you will need to communicate. The better you are at the easier it will be for you as a leader and the easier it will be for those you lead to understand your vision.
So we need to be aware and work on communication constantly.
Here are a few tips to assist in EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION:
1. Speak Clearly. Can everyone hear you? Remember that while the information is probably very familiar to you, the listener may be hearing it for the very first time. Also, speak to the group as if you are talking to the last person in the last row.
2. Use language that EVERYONE understands. Avoid using jargon and acronyms that some may not be familiar with. This makes the listener feel like he is not welcome.
3. Vary your tone and pace. Keep your voice and not just your words interesting.
4. Move from the general to the specific. Provide examples of generalizations that the listener can relate to.
5. Use visuals- charts, maps, and diagrams. Remember that people vary in how they best absorb information. Some are more oriented towards verbal language, some towards the written word, and some learn a lot through graphics.
6. Eyeball- look at the listener. If you are speaking to a group, can you see everyone? Are the looking at you?
7. Encourage two way flow. Ask questions and get them asking questions of you. Answer questions helpfully and in a friendly manner. Don't pass judgement on the question or the questioner.
8. Make it fun and interesting. Show enthusiasm!
Those are just a few ways that you can better your communication. Remember that to be an Effective leader you need to be an Effective Communicator.
Happy Scouting!

I'm totally underwhelmed by the 2010 offerings. The only thing that looks sort of interesting is joining the Collector's Club to get the discounted figures of the Adventure Team & Dr. Venom. It's the age old problem, how many Duke's/SE/CC's/Destro's/Scarlett's/Heavy Duties do I need? The answer is not this many.
I gave one of Helix's blades to Recondo. The other, no clue yet, maybe Pathfinder (so both Jungle Troopers have them).


text: all i can say is that this anime, is incredible. outstanding story, twists, and gets you involved into the characters. The music choice is excellent, i never bothered with jazz, however this story has changed my mind. It also makes you feel appreciation for what you do have, and what you wish you could have. top quality! better be more seasons coming!See full review

More coming out on this now. Seems like this woman WAS offered free housing by at least one local group, but she turned it down becasue it was only for 90 days and then they would have to pay $400 a month. The same group also gave them money and offered job training for the son who flat out turned it down.

Corey NOTHING you could say about this welfare leech and her trifling grown son would surprise me.
Let's hope Obama stops his campaigning once the porkulus bill is signed into law. He's such a fraud.
It seems that BHO is going to govern via publicity stunt......here he is promising the Caterpillar folks that they will get re-hired becasue of the stimulus bill......the Cat CEO says to tap the brakes there buster.
I about fell over when I heard ABC news actually reporting on this gaffe on the national news last night. Its the most critical thing I have heard out of them about BHO, EVER.
Remember the CARTER years? The editorial page started with praise, after about a year there were questions, then the comments less than competent began to show, & finally the word incompetent presented. I predict this guy is goiing to make CARTER look competent.
Mike, the comments on the ABC article are hilarious! Buyers Remorse & too late to cancel the deal.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
President Obama gave her a house?! Is that the story they are telling in right wing lala land?
For the record, she has been allowed to live rent free in a house that was offered to her by Chene Thompson. She is the wife of REPUBLICAN State Representative Nick Thompson.
That Obama sure can work magic! He pulled off a 'PR Stunt' that portrays a Republican as compassionate and charitable. You'd better get to work running Rep. Thompson out of the party, since he evidently doesn't uphold 'Republican' values.
The United States Imports 70% of Our Oil.
What's the Plan?
Giving Henrietta a house was another Obomo PR stunt.

'Indo-U.S. Relations' series to begin April 21
April 21, May 7 and May 16, 2008, 4 p.m. · 1 Robertson Hall
Posted April 17, 2008; 05:41 p.m.
A new series titled "Indo-U.S. Relations: An Emerging Strategic Partnership" will begin Monday, April 21, with an address by Kanwal Sibal, India's former ambassador to Russia and France, and former foreign secretary of the government of India.
Sibal will present "India, China and Tibet" at 4 p.m. in 1 Robertson Hall, offering his perspective on how to deal with the current situations in Tibet, Burma and Pakistan.
India and the United States have long been described as "natural allies." In addition to their common commitment to democracy, their economic and strategic concerns have combined to bring them much closer over the past decade and half. The three-part series will examine various aspects of the evolving strategic relationship between the two countries and explore to what extent their interests and policies are likely to converge, where they differ and how those differences might be resolved.
Aaron Friedberg, professor of politics and international affairs, who is organizing the series with Shivaji Sondhi, professor of physics, said, "Along with China, India is Asia's other rising power. It is a nation whose economic weight, military power and diplomatic influence are all rapidly increasing. Like the United States, India is also a multi-ethnic liberal democracy and, in the past decade, the two countries have begun to cooperate much more closely on a wide range of issues. Despite these facts, India and the Indo-U.S. relationship have generally received far less attention in the United States than China. This seminar is the first in what Professor Sondhi and I hope will be a series of exchanges on what could well turn out to be the most important and fruitful bilateral relationship of the 21st century."
The other two lectures will be:
• "Myanmar -- Isolation by Choice or Circumstance? China and India Make Their Moves" by Vikram Sood, vice president of the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi, and the former head of research and analysis at the foundation, on Wednesday, May 7.
• "The Talibanisation of Pakistan" by M.J. Akbar, author of "The Shades of Swords: Jihad and the Conflict Between Islam and Christianity," on Friday, May 16.
All will be held at 4 p.m. in 1 Robertson Hall.
The series is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Research Program in International Security.
