Texas says rise in paroles gives state bragging rights
Officials say reforms are 'smart on crime' and save money
Texas continues a steady march away from its Old West image of being tough on crime to one that state leaders now call "smart on crime" and even fiscally "right on crime."
Nothing makes that more apparent than the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole's newly released bragging rights: More prisoners were paroled this past fiscal year than any other year in the past decade, and fewer parolees are being sent back.
The board's report this week boasts 24,342 offenders were approved for parole from Sept. 1, 2010, to Aug. 31, 2011. This represents 31 percent of all who applied and an approval rate that is six percentage points higher than 10 years ago.
At the same time, the number carted back to prison this past fiscal year after their parole was revoked plummeted by 44 percent from a high of 11,374 in 2004.
Instead of fearing accusations of appearing too lenient, state authorities are smiling.
"We are pleased with our continuing increase in granting parole," said Rissie Owens, chairwoman of the state's pardons and parole board. "The use of our parole guidelines to assess the likelihood of a successful parole outcome has been cited as a national model for its positive impact on returning more offenders to productive lives."
The Association of Paroling Authorities International has praised Texas' system which many other states are copying, said board spokesman Harry Battson.
But victim rights groups, such as Parents of Murdered Children, worry about parolees committing new crimes. "We want some to receive a second chance if they deserve it. But everyone should stay a reasonable amount of time," said Beverly Campos of Pasadena.
Campos and other members of her group are upset that they often have to annually protest the possible parole of their children's killers. Every Christmas since 1998, she is notified by mail that the person who killed her 17-year-old son, Jason, is up for parole. Her son had stopped a fight at a party and then was shot five times by 14-year-old Joe Rodriguez. "I just think he should serve his time," Campos said.
A smarter approach
State Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, is the architect of many of the prison reforms in Texas. Whitmire said the state has always been the toughest in the nation on punishment, but now it's being smarter.
"We lock up the dangerous violent offenders for longer periods while trying to change the lifestyles of the low-level offenders," he said.
Rather than build three new prisons in 2007, funds were shifted to treatment programs for drug and alcohol addictions, anger management, counseling and education.
"We've saved the taxpayer at least $2 billion that way. The treatment programs only cost us $180 million, and we still have room for the really bad guys," said Texas Rep. Jerry Madden, R-Richardson, the correction committee chairman. He noted every person incarcerated costs the state about $50 per day.
Besides gutting the building program, a 1,000-bed prison in Sugar Land was also closed last year. This is possible as the number of actual inmates housed by the state dropped by 2,500 last year to 154,000, the lowest number in five years, records show.
Not much flexibility
Andy Kahan, Houston's crime victim advocate, keeps track of parolees convicted of violent and sexual offenses who are released to Harris County. The number of these parolees has jumped from 56 in 2008 to 146 so far this year.
Kahan said the parole board doesn't have much flexibility with inmates nearing the end of long sentences. "While releasing them makes us uneasy," he said. "We'd rather see them paroled so they could be monitored electronically and have intense supervision rather than just kicked out the door."
Houston Women's Center spokeswoman Rebecca White agreed that monitoring of such offenders is critical. "We have to be careful and take it all seriously, because releasing a sex offender often re-traumatizes his victim," she said.
The parole department's report showed the highest release rate occurred in one of the worst crime categories: violent aggravated sexual assaults. Nearly 42 percent of those candidates considered for parole were released in the last fiscal year.
However, Battson, the parole department spokesman, stressed that the actual number of violent sex offenders released is relatively small and they are nearing the end of their sentences. This category accounted for 1,849 of the 24,342 released.
The data give positive feedback that even though more parolees are being released, they are committing fewer crimes. The number of new crimes dropped 3 percent last year compared to the previous year.

Montana House Advances Gun-Rights Measures – Calls for Silencers Allowed on Rifles While Hunting
HELENA, Mont. (AP) - The Montana House is advancing gun-rights measures that include a plan to push back against potential federal restrictions on assault rifles.
The Republican-led chamber endorsed the three gun-rights bills on Thursday.
Supporters say the state needs to ban police from enforcing any future federal assault-weapons ban in the state. They argue it would undermine what would be an unconstitutional infringement on gun rights.
Opponents led by Democrats say the measure unconstitutionally attempts to trump federal law and note that it is opposed by police and sheriff organizations.
The House also backed measures that clear the way for nearly anyone to carry concealed weapons without a permit, and would allow the use of rifle sound suppressors when hunting. A list of states allowing suppressors can be found here.
All three measures must pass a final vote before going to the Senate.

Danny Kedwell struck his fifth goal of the season to earn Gillingham a 1-1 draw against Port Vale.
The visitors took the lead through Marc Richards' third goal in two games but Kedwell equalised early in the second-half with his third penalty of the campaign.
Gillingham almost got off to a flier when Kedwell charged down Vale keeper Stuart Tomlinson's clearance but the rebound went the wrong side of the post.
Port Vale fired a warning shot when Doug Loft crossed to the back post where Adam Yates nodded back across goal for Tom Pope whose header hit the bar.
Pope then turned provider for Vale's opener in the 33rd-minute when he flicked on a long ball to Richards who poked home.
The Gills equalised with 63 minutes gone when Frank Nouble was brought down by Rob Taylor and although Kedwell's first effort was saved, a re-take was ordered and he made no mistake second time around.
Tomlinson denied the Gills a winner five minutes from time when he kept out Matt Fish's fierce drive.

Without prejudice to clause 10.8, if the Licensee is a consumer (i.e. it is not (i) an organisation; or (ii) an individual acting wholly or mainly within its trade, business craft or profession) located in the European Union and a dispute arises between the Licensee and the Licensor, the Licensor strongly encourage the Licensee to get in touch with the Licensor directly first to seek a resolution by contacting email@example.com. If the dispute cannot be resolved between the Licensee and the Licensor, the Licensor will consider the Licensee's reasonable request to resolve the dispute through an alternative dispute resolution process ("ADR"). ADR is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without having to go to court. If the parties agree to using an ADR process, the Licensee can submit its complaint to the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution via its website https://www.cedr.com/ or https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. The Licensee should not submit its complaint until it has received notice from the Licensor in writing (and this could be an email) that the Licensor has agreed to resolve the complaint via ADR.
10.10 If the Licensee is a business or not a consumer, these Terms are governed by English law. This means that a contract, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), will be governed by English law. The parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

I'm sitting this morning with a number of folks from campus integrated marketing, taking in the Higher Ed Social Media Conference. (I think I'm the only non-marketing professional in the room…)
So far, the conference has been interesting, if not very applicable to running a unit's social media on a campus with no centralized social media body.
One takeaway so far has me excited: requiring team members to contribute, and adding that expectation to annual reports, expectations, and goals.
I'm thinking of asking the faculty to require the following of themselves (and I'm curious if any of you have tried anything similar)
Annually, but delivered 2x a year
- 2 blog posts, on a topic of their choosing
- 5 Facebook posts, about events, upgrades, anything they choose
- 5 tips or neat tricks to searching or using the library
- a write-up ahead of time of every event, with a graphic
- 2-3 photos for every event hosted
- 1 blog post profile/7 question interview, with a photo
The impetus behind this (for both me and the presenter) is the challenge of trying to pull content out of the folks who are producing it in other formats all the time. At the same time, I would use this to engage a conversation across the library about the value we put on social media, and the desired level engagement of the library as a whole in the project.
I'm a little excited. And very skeptical. And curious about your experiences with things like this with your social media services?

KitUp has an interesting take on 9/11: how the post-attack war on terror has affected US soldiers. On the left, a photo of a typical infantry man taken on September 10, 2001. On the right, a soldier with today's standard equipment.
The former is wearing a really heavy, oversized Kevlar helmet, a very basic and ineffective armor vest, Vietnam-era gear, a standard M4 gun—if he's lucky—with no aiming aids whatsoever. The latter is using a lightweight low-profile helmet, a rifle with laser and IR aims, high end mountaineering boots, and armor plates all around his light-weight fire resistant combat shirt—everything configurable depending on the needs of the mission.
As Christian puts it, the Vietnam soldiers have turned into Starship Troopers warriors. [KitUp]

Accreditation and CLE Rules for Florida
National Academy of Continuing Legal Education is a Florida Bar Accredited CLE Sponsor (CLE Sponsor # 0185716). Attorneys can earn all 30 hours including the 5 ethics hours requirement through the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education. Preapproved courses offered by the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education have been directly approved by The Florida Bar and come with unique Florida Bar course codes which enables easy and quick reporting. "Self-Report" courses come with prefilled forms for easy self-reporting to the FL Bar.
Florida Registered Paralegals can satisfy all 30 mandated continuing education hours with our preapproved courses since they are directly approved by The Florida Bar.
Accepted CLE Formats: Audio, Video and Online programs. Excess hours may not be carried forward from one cycle to the next. Attorneys must self-report completion of CLE. The Certificate of Completion issued by National Academy may be used to verify attendance.
Effective January 1, 2017, each attorney shall complete a minimum of 33 credit hours of approved continuing legal education activity every 3 years. Five of the 33 credit hours must be in approved legal ethics, professionalism, bias elimination, substance abuse, or mental illness awareness programs and 3 of the 33 credit hours must be in approved technology programs which are included in, not addition to, the regular 33 credit hour requirement. If an attorney completes more than 33 credit hours during any reporting cycle, the excess credits cannot be carried over to the next reporting cycle. *Compliance for the new rule will begin in the member's next reporting cycle following the January 1, 2017 effective date. So the first deadline for completing the requirements of the new rule will be on 1/31/2020.
Florida FRP's are required to complete a 3 hour technology requirement as well but please note that this change will apply to your NEXT CLE cycle. For example if your current cycle ends January 2020, then you will be required to complete the 33 hour requirement during your next cycle from January 2020 to January 2023. The first FRP compliance group that will be required to complete the new 33 credit requirement will be 3/2022.

The Symptom
The first thing I had tried was subclassing Manhole from twisted.conch.manhole, overriding (and up-calling) connectionMade, writing the banner to the terminal upon successful connection. This didn't work, so I then tried overriding initializeScreen by subclassing twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine. Also a no-go. And by "didn't work" here's what I mean:
In both Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, gnome-terminal) and Mac (OS X 10.6.8, Terminal.app), after a successful login to the Twisted SSH server, the following sequence would occur:
- an interactive Python prompt was rendered, e.g., ":>>"
- the banner was getting written to the terminal, and
- the terminal screen refreshed with the prompt at the top
This all happened so quickly, that I usually never even saw #1 and #2. Just the second ":>>" prompt from #3. Only by scrolling up the terminal buffer would I see that the banner had actually been rendered. Even though I was doing my terminal.write after connectionMade and initializeScreen, it didn't seem to matter.
Some time last week, I put together example Twisted plugins showing what the problem was, and the circumstances under which a banner simply didn't get rendered. The idea was that I would provide some bare-bones test cases that demonstrated where the problem was occurring, post them to IRC or the Twisted mail list, and we could finally get it resolved. 'Cause, ya know, I really want my banners ...
While tweaking the second Twisted plugin example, I finally poked my head into the right method and discovered the issue. Here's what's happening:
- twisted.conch.recvline.RecvLine.connectionMade calls t.c.recvline.RecvLine.initializeScreen
- t.c.recvline.RecvLine.initializeScreen does a terminal.reset, writes the prompt, and then switches to insert mode. But this is a red herring. Since something after initializeScreen is causing the problem, we really need to be asking "who's calling connectionMade?"
- t.c.manhole_ssh.TerminalSession.openShell is what kicks it off when it calls the transportFactory (which is really TerminalSessionTransport)
- openShell takes one parameter, proto -- this is very important :-)
- openShell instantiates TerminalSessionTransport
- TerminalSessionTransport does one more thing after calling the makeConnection method on an insults.ServerProtocol instance (the one I had tried overriding without success), and as such, this is the prime suspect for what was preventing the banner from being properly displayed: it calls chainedProtocol.terminalProtocol.terminalSize
- chainedProtocol is an insults.ServerProtocol instance, and its terminalProtocol attribute is set when ServerProtocol.connectionMade is called.
- A quick check reveals that terminalProtocol is none other than the proto parameter passed to openShell.
But what is proto? Some debugging (and the fact that of the three terminalSize methods in all of twisted, only one is an actual implementation) reveals that proto is a RecvLine instance. Reading that method uncovers the culprit in our whodunnit: the first thing the method does is call terminal.eraseDisplay.
Bingo! (And this is what I was referring to above when I said "poked my head" ...)
Since this was called after all of my attempts to display a banner using both connectionMade and initializeScreen, there's no way my efforts would have succeeded.
Here's What You Do
How do you get around this? Easy! Subclass :-)
The class TerminalSessionTransport in t.c.manhole_ssh is the bad boy that calls terminalSize (which calls eraseDisplay). It's the last thing that TerminalSessionTransport does in its __init__, so if we subclass it, and render our banner at the end of our __init__, we should be golden. And we are :-)
Not sure if this sort of thing is better off in projects that make use of Twisted, or if it would be worth while to add this feature to Twisted itself. Time (and blog comments) will tell.
As is evident from the screenshot above (and the link), this feature is part of the DreamSSH project. There are a handful of other nifty features/shortcuts that I have implemented in DreamSSH (plus some cool ones that are coming) and I'm using them in projects that need a custom SSH server. I released the first version of DreamSSH last night, and there's a pretty clear README on the github project page.
One of the niftier things I did last night in preparation for the release was to dig into Twisted plugins and override some behaviour there. In order to make sure that the conveniences I had provided for devs with the Makefile were available for anyone who had DreamSSH installed, I added subcommands... but if the service was already running, these would fail. How to work around that (and other Twisted plugin tidbits) are probably best saved for another post, though :-)

Listen to Miley Cyrus on Unreleased 'Hannah Montana' Song
'Hannah Montana' fans are in for a treat. What appears to be an unreleased demo from the Disney TV show has leaked via a Miley fansite, and the peppy track brings us right back to the good old Disney days of Miley Cyrus.
'Beach Weekend' sounds just like the pop-rock-country blend you'd expect from the completed series. It's upbeat and happy, which fits the title and lyrics that are focused on a fun trip to the beach.
The lyrics are just as bubbly as the tempo, emphasized even more by Miley's twangy voice. "Every day up before the sun's up," the pop star sings, "quick shower then dress and head to Starbucks."
She continues to outline her day but admits she can't stop "dreamin' about the shoreline," which we totally get. Who wants to worry about homework and school when there's beach time to be had? Luckily for Miley — er, Hannah — she's "going to the beach this weekend … putting on suntan lotion, hope to cause a little commotion."
Smilers have been throwing out guesses that the unused song is from around the time of 'Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus,' putting the song at about seven years old. Talk about a flashback.
Not that we don't love the new twerk-happy Miley, but the leaked tune still makes us feel warm and fuzzy remembering the four seasons we got to spend following the crazy antics of the in-disguise teen pop star.
Check out the full Hannah Montana song below:

Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Turlock, plans to try to block federal funding for the California high-speed-rail plan.
Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Turlock, plans to try to block federal funding for the California high-speed-rail plan.
On Friday, Denham's office announced he planed to introduce an amendment to an appropriations bill to prevent those funds from being used for high-speed rail in California.
The $68 billion plan to build a bullet train linking Sacramento and San Francisco to Los Angeles and other points in Southern California would, in later phases, include a stop in Stockton.
"California's high-speed rail project comes nowhere close to what voters supported with Prop. 1A in 2008," Denham said. "Congress cannot authorize spending any more money on a project without a future."
Denham introduced the amendment Monday to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill, HR4745.
It's not his first attempt to halt federal funding for the project. He introduced the same amendment to the appropriations bill in 2012 and introduced a separate bill earlier this year.

The Source
Q&A highlights strategic changes in Student Life
August 16, 2013
The Student Life division has been busy this summer developing new programs and reorganizing its offices. The Source sat down with Dean of Students Anna Gonzalez to learn what drove the changes and how they will improve life for Lewis & Clark students.
Would you please walk us through the recent staffing changes and departmental reorganization within Student Life?
As dean of students, I oversee student engagement, wellness services, International Students and Scholars, Physical Education and Athletics, New Student Orientation, Campus Living, and career development.
What was previously known as the Center for Career and Community Engagement has split into two separate student services: the Career Development Center and Leadership and Service. Minda Heyman is now the director of the Career Development Center, and we are pleased to announce the new Director of Leadership and Service, Harold McNaron, who will begin August 21.
Tricia Brand has taken on the new position of associate dean for student engagement.
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is now the Department of Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement, and we are currently conducting a search for its director.
A search is currently underway for the director of judicial affairs, and Kelly Hoover has taken on those responsibilities in the interim.
We also created a new program coordinator position that supports both the Office of Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement and International Students and Scholars.
Within Campus Living, Charlie Ahlquist is now the assistant director of residential education. Angela Buck is our newest area director and will work primarily with the multicultural themed hall.
With Judy McMullen now retired, we've also seen a few big changes in Athletics. Mark Pietrok is now interim director, and a search for permanent director will commence this spring.
What kinds of new student programming will Student Life offer this year?
To kick off the school year, we are implementing several new programs for this year's New Student Orientation. The first is a test called StrengthsQuest, which will help our first-year students identify their natural talents and acquaint them with the services offered by our Career Development Center.
The other program will require every first-year student to go through alcohol, drug, and sexual assault education. Additionally, we will offer trainings for informing the entire Lewis & Clark community about sexual assault education.
We are also introducing a new way to support student-led organizations at the Pio Fair this year. Every student who attends Pio Fair will get vouchers, called Pio Paws, to distribute around to various student organizations as they learn about them. These vouchers hold monetary value and can later be exchanged for program funding for student organizations.
Some other big changes on campus include a newly remodeled Fields Dining Room with extended hours—7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.—and a new concept for student meal packages that will basically allow students to enter Fields to eat as many times as they want within a two-and-a-half-hour time block.
Changes to Maggie's Café include a liquor license and some interior aesthetic improvements. Maggie's will begin to serve beer and wine during the late afternoons and evenings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. To spruce up the place a little on the inside, we were able to repurpose some campus furniture, a television, and we added some new shelving. Grocery items that were not selling well will be available for sale at the Bookstore or the Trail Room.
Throughout the school year we are also planning some large events for October and February—stay tuned for details!
What is your long-term vision for Student Life at Lewis & Clark?
We rewrote our mission statement this year with a tighter focus on learning outcomes. Our four main areas of concentration are health and wellness, civic leadership and career development, diversity, and experiential learning. Our goal is to better support students as they transition to college by encouraging personal development, promoting cocurricular learning, and providing career preparation.
What are the biggest challenges for new students?
Coming into a new space is a major transition, and one of their biggest challenges is finding out how we all communicate with each other at Lewis & Clark. There are so many channels—The Bark, The Source, Twitter, Facebook, The Green—even I'm overwhelmed! And because you can't just decide to disconnect anymore, I usually tell them to plug in wherever they can because the virtual world will help lead them to real human connections.
How can staff and faculty help new students make a successful transition to life at Lewis & Clark?
First and foremost, help students move in on August 28! Secondly, you should feel free to check in with students to see how they're doing throughout the year. And third—if you haven't done this already—I highly recommend opening up your home for Thanksgiving to international students!

Post nasal drip refers to the sticky excess mucus that flows slowly down the back of the throat or nose. The condition is in itself very uncomfortable and disturbing, and worse still when it results in bad breath. The mucus in this case is unhealthy or diseased and is characterized by an unusual thickness and a discoloration. In normal instances, mucus is usually very clear. In case of an infection which causes post nasal drip, the mucus turn white or green and often cause bad breath.
What Causes the Condition?
Post nasal drip bad breath occurs when the bacteria in the mouth, especially behind the tongue, come into contact with the proteins present in the mucus. The protein molecules are then broken down into sulfur compounds which emit the foul smell. Also useful information about post nasal drip bad breath on http://smartmilhealth.com/post-nasal-drip-bad-breath.html
The bad breath can also be as a result of the collection of dead cells and debris that accumulate in the tonsil and tonsillar crypts. This collection leads to the formation of pale tonsiloliths which develop into stone like substances that are commonly known as tonsil stones. Tonsil stones are a prime harbor for bacteria, providing the food they need to thrive. The good news is that tonsiloliths can be dislodged, although they have a high tendency of recurring in most patients.
Signs and Symptoms of Post Nasal Bad Breath
Apart from the bad breath, post nasal drip is also characterized by other symptoms. They include:
1. Constant clogging at the back of the throat caused by excess mucus, mostly white or light green/yellow in color. There is the constant need to gag and spit in order to get rid of it.
2. A foul taste that originates from the back of the mouth, filling the mouth with a constant sour taste.
3. The tongue is covered in a white coating as a result of the excess mucus.
4. A dry mouth can also occur especially when the nose is clogged and you have to breathe through the mouth.
5. Tonsil stones occur occasionally and are very small in most cases.
6. The mouth may feel numb and unable to taste some foods.
Is the Condition Curable?
Post nasal drip can only be truly cured after treating the underlying condition. In the mean time, there are a number of practices which offer considerable relief for post nasal drip bad breath. Sample the following:
1. Good oral hygiene which ensures that the mouth is clean and free from aerobic bacteria. Apart from brushing, the tongue and gums should be cleaned too as they also harbor bacteria.
2. Drink enough water to keep the mouth moist and prevent a dry mouth, which is a prime breeding ground for aerobic bacteria.
3. Post nasal drip can be treated using antihistamines and decongestants.
4. Get a dental check-up every 6 months or so to help detect any problems early enough.
Post nasal drip should not be ignored as it can lead to tonsil stones. Measures should be taken to slow down the secretion of excess mucus. Eventually, the underlying problem should be looked into to treat the problem for good.
