Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and healthcare. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI? David Linthicum's session at 12th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo New York [June 10-13] will answer those questions, and others allowing you to make the right decisions around the use of this technology.
Speaker Bio:

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

Sequestration has redefined 'normal,' but agency leaders are beginning to recognize new kinds of opportunities in it. (Stock image)
"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
That was Rahm Emanuel's view after the 2008 elections, when President-elect Barack Obama and his team grappled with an economy that was approaching meltdown. Emanuel, the former congressman who become Obama's chief of staff and is now mayor of Chicago, argued that the urgent economic problems demanded bold action. "This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before."
Emanuel was talking about the broader economy, not federal budgets and IT programs, but we can easily apply his argument to the challenges agencies face today. Federal executives have had no choice but to postpone important decisions because Congress and the president have repeatedly pushed off their duties — denying agencies the budget information and authority they need to move forward.
Now, however, there might be a light at the end of the tunnel. Not a return to standard appropriations and stable or growing budget lines — the sequester has redefined "normal" for the foreseeable future — but a different sort of opportunity has arisen. Agency leaders need to be ready to use the cuts and culture of austerity as an opportunity to make the tough changes that have been avoided for years.
The continuing resolution that funds the rest of fiscal 2013 kept most of the sequester's reductions in place, and budget experts agree that funding is not likely to grow in the immediate future. But although the dollar limits will remain, the anti-strategic, across-the-board requirements of sequestration will not. And for leaders willing to push for hard choices, that (relative) flexibility provides a rare opportunity.
FCW's recent cover story touches on one aspect of this challenge: Rather than simply cutting back on expensive management consultant contracts, agencies should work with those experts to identify bigger, better savings for the long term. There are already signs that executives are pushing to "cut smarter" — see the Defense Department's rush to take advantage of what little flexibility the continuing resolution offered the Pentagon.
After suffering through the budget crisis of recent years, it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Why not have all this human rights activist who gave all our prisoners right to do what ever they want to in prison, pay for there bill or live at there house. That would cut the cost for prisons and free up money for the DOD and other agencies. Just saying when the ones behind bars have more rights then the ones out being good citizens then brothers and sisters we have a problem. We all have someone close to our families or friends that have gotten in trouble but if they do not feel like they are paying for there crimes whats to prevent them from doing it again.
I agree that the tough changes should be executed now due to the volitility of DOD 'industry', if you will. Although, the statement "Rather than simply cutting back on expensive management consultant contracts", implies that the sequestration is cutting contacts and or hours of contracted consultants. This may occure due to civilian/goverment personell cuts, but most of the contractors, contractually, can not be cut this fiscal year (FY). Contracts must be reinstated per the Period of Performace (POP), which mean we still have work this year, and if the POP goes past the end of the FY, we're in the clear for longer. Most contractors are safe for the time being.

Country comfort and dog-friendly accommodations in Carmel Valley.
Carmel Valley is a warm and sunny oasis, and this charming country-styled property reflects this. All 31 rooms are basic, but handmade Shaker-style furniture adds to the atmosphere. Most accommodations come furnished with fireplaces (and s'mores kits!), kitchenettes, patios and/or decks and whirlpool spas. Cottages provide ample space to stretch out. The conference facilities are notably large at 1,200 square feet and include a massive stone fireplace, a patio for outdoor dining and great views of the valley. Pet-owners love the property, too, as small dogs are welcome (fees apply). A bevy of nearby outdoor activities complement the lodge's pool and sauna. Among them: horseback riding, hiking, tennis and golf at a nearby country club.

Report: Wiggins, Parker, Embiid will not attend draft combine
More Draft: Mock Drafts | Early entries this year | Draft news
UPDATE: Adrian Wojnarowski is also reporting Kansas star and top draft prospect Andrew Wiggins has pulled out of the combine in Chicago. That means the top three prospects in this draft will not be participating in the combine festivities.
Yahoo Sports reports that Duke forward Jabari Parker and Kansas center Joel Embiid will not attend the NBA combine this week in Chicago.
The news doesn't come as a huge surprise. If you're as high on boards as those two are, with virtually no chance of falling past No. 4, and little chance of falling past No. 3 by the consensus analysis, you really have nothing to gain. Both players' strengths and weaknesses already have been summarized and the combine is more a place to improve draft stock for mid-to-late first rounders and to get projected second-rounders in front of decision-makers.
Embiid, in particular, has no reason to participate; his back issues need to be evaluated by independent or team doctors and subjecting himself to anything that could result in even a little soreness could scare off potential suitors.
... This discussion makes it sound like a meat market, doesn't it?
Anyway, no Parker, no Embiid this week. The combine runs Wednesday through next Sunday (May 18) and we'll have coverage on Eye on Basketball.

I want to fit a switch to my Xecuter2 modchip. Some sites say it should come with one, but mine didn't.
I don't think aquiring a switch will be difficult, but where does it go?
Does anyone have an installation diagram for where the switch goes?
Posted 05 January 2003 - 03:53 PM
mine didnt come with one. I'm installing it atm I would guess you could just put a switch on the BIOS enable jumper ??
Posted 05 January 2003 - 07:40 PM
Just get any SPST switch from Radio Shack or whatever. You can then just solder wires from the two leads on the switch to the two poles of the middle jumper on the x2 lite.

The HolidaysEach week comes and goes and I think to myself, "This weekend I'll start the new schedule. This Thursday I'll go to Cincinnati and stay 'til Monday morning."
(I have a home in Cincinnati - the one I owned when we married.)
Earlier in the year I was going there every weekend.
He was hysterically angry and mean.
I quit going.
Every week at the end of the week "something" comes up that makes (allows?) me to stay here - entrenched in this misery.
Now the holidays are approaching and this morning the same old push-back crept into my thoughts - "I'll wait 'til after the holidays."
I ask myself, "For what?"
"For something to change?"
"Nothing's ever going to change, Fool, you know that."
Why not go now?
It's hard.
You are not a fool, but you are allowing yourself to be psychologically controlled by this man. All the usual limits that apply to others (finances, place to live, shared children) do not apply to you - so his "hold" on you is about something to do with your own psyche. . .
As others have suggested, I encourage you to get counselling for yourself. If you are to break free of this "hostage" type relationship, you need to understand what keeps you pinned down when, to all outside appearances, there is no reason to be trapped.
Please print this out:
". . . I'm always dreading him calling me demanding to know when I'll be back.
The ******* tracks my spending as I go through a day out.
After I'm away for a few hours I start feeling really anxious and almost frightened.
It's weird.
I feel like I HAVE to go home."
and take it to your Counsellor. Discuss the "why" of your feelings - and how to deal with these.
You are entitled to a life that is not constrained by his foibles and if you cannot break free of your situation, you will NOT get to enjoy that life. Please, for your own sake, take action to help yourself break free of this self imposed prison.
Hi F4W, consider yourself hugged. You are no fool! You are a strong person who is just trying to figure things out. Change is inevitable... your choices, however, will impact whether or not these changes are going to be postive. Think of choice as being like a steering wheel, at least we can try to head in the right direction. Being depressed disables your ability to think clearly, as does existing in a relationship where you are neglected and dismissed. Go to Cincinnati, remove yourself from your negative, oppressive environment so that you can take a deep breath, and think things through in a calm, peaceful, safe place (unless of course there is something in Cincinnati that is also going to cause you stress, then choose an alternative place to retreat). Take solace in the fact that you don't have to make any immediate decisions about whether or not to stay with your husband, and be empowered by just knowing that you do have choice.
I have felt like running away, leaving everything behind. It is that fight or flight response. I know I can't walk away from my life (I have 3 young children whom I would die for), but my need to escape exists simply because I'm on the cusp of confronting my refusing husband (again). The difference is, this time I know will be my last. I will not continue to live in a SM. I've already made my choice... I just have to implement it (however long this takes me). So, I'm also going on a short get-away. I want to clear my head. Take a break. Relax and rejuvenate, before I ride the wave of change into my future.
I hope we can both arrive at a happy ending.
Take Care,
When the time is right for you, you'll do it.
When the body of evidence reaches your tipping point.
UNLESS you are waiting for 100% certainty.
If you are waiting for 100% certainty then you'll probably never do it.
Tread your own path.
There must be something you are getting out of this arrangement, but I cannot fathom it. In your stories you describe a distant, emotionally abusive, at times moronic spouse that drives you crazy. No kids, no money worries, yet you still stay... even to the extent of not gettign away on the weekends when you have a hideout to escape to!
Which leads me to believe you are getting somethign psychological out of this relationship that you are not willing to give up just yet. And I cannot figure it out.
The house in Cinti sounds so appealing. You talk about finding excuses to stay put, though. But what is it about Cinti that is just almost, but not quite, compelling? Do you have friends there? Do you have old haunts that you would like to visit? Is there something about the Cinti house that in and of itself isn't quite right? What is the hold that this old grump has on you?
Ah yes, this is what I'm alluding to above... "I start feeling really anxious and almost frightened". Something is happening with you psychologically. Any chance of getting some counselling to sort this out? WHAT is holding you there?
Breat of fresh air awaits you! Go!
(((((f4w)))))) darlin, go. now. who cares what he thinks? let him get angry -- and angrier. maybe it'll spur him to get up off his lazyass and actually do something other than sponge off of you. if that sounds harsh--i am just a bit feisty today and rather hissy about spouses who have neglected and (in most cases) abused their W or H and then have the gall to have an *attitude* when we decide to start doing things for ourselves. you know you need to kick him to the curb. staying at your other house is an excellent way to begin the transition while taking care of yourself in the process. xo

"I've been sentenced for a D.U.I. offense. My 3rd one. When I first came to prison, I had no idea what to expect. Certainly none of this. I'm a tall white male, who unfortunately has a small amount of feminine characteristics. And very shy. These characteristics have got me raped so many times I have no more feelings physically. I have been raped by up to 5 black men and two white men at a time. I've had knifes at my head and throat. I had fought and been beat so hard that I didn't ever think I'd see straight again. One time when I refused to enter a cell, I was brutally attacked by staff and taken to segragation though I had only wanted to prevent the same and worse by not locking up with my cell mate. There is no supervision after lockdown. I was given a conduct report. I explained to the hearing officer what the issue was. He told me that off the record, He suggests I find a man I would/could willingly have sex with to prevent these things from happening. I've requested protective custody only to be denied. It is not available here. He also said there was no where to run to, and it would be best for me to accept things . . . . I probably have AIDS now. I have great difficulty raising food to my mouth from shaking after nightmares or thinking to hard on all this . . . . I've laid down without physical fight to be sodomized. To prevent so much damage in struggles, ripping and tearing. Though in not fighting, it caused my heart and spirit to be raped as well. Something I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself for."
The letter excerpted above was one of the first to reach Human Rights Watch in response to a small announcement posted in Prison Legal News and Prison Life Magazine, two publications with a wide audience in U.S. prisons. Having been alerted to the problem of prisoner-on-prisoner rape in the United States by the work of activists like Stephen Donaldson of the organization Stop Prisoner Rape, we had decided to conduct exploratory research into the topic and had put a call out to prisoners for information. The resulting deluge of letters--many of which included compelling firsthand descriptions such as this--convinced us that the issue merited urgent attention. Rape, by prisoners' accounts, was no aberrational occurrence; instead it was a deeply-rooted, systemic problem. It was also a problem that prison authorities were doing little to address.
The present report--the product of three years of research and well over a thousand inmate letters--describes the complex dynamics of male prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse in the United States. The report is an effort to explain why and how such abuse occurs, who commits it and who falls victim to it, what are its effects, both physical and psychological, how are prison authorities coping with it and, most importantly, what reforms can be instituted to better prevent it from occurring.
The Scope of this Report
This report is limited in scope to male prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse in the United States. It does not cover women prisoners, nor does it cover the sexual abuse of male prisoners by their jailers. Human Rights Watch investigated the problem of custodial sexual misconduct in U.S. women's prisons in two previous reports and the issue has been a continuing focus of our U.S. advocacy efforts. As to custodial sexual misconduct against male prisoners, we decided not to include that topic within the scope of this report even though some prisoners who claimed to have been subject to such abuse did contact us. An initial review of the topic convinced us that it involved myriad issues that were distinct from the topic at hand, which is complicated enough in itself.
Even though the notices that Human Rights Watch circulated to announce our research on prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse were written in gender-neutral language, we received no information from women prisoners regarding the problem. As prison experts are well aware, penal facilities for men and women tend to differ in important respects. If the problem of prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse exists in women's institutions--a possibility we do not exclude--it is likely to take somewhat different forms than in men's prisons.
For several reasons, the primary focus of this report is on sexual abuse in prisons, rather than jails. Most importantly, all of our information save a handful of letters came from prison as opposed to jail inmates. Many of these prisoners did, however, describe sexual abuses they had suffered when previously held in jails, allowing us to gather some information on the topic. Nonetheless, the bulk of our prisoner testimonies and documentation--and all of the information we collected from state authorities--pertain specifically to prisons. Already, with fifty separate state prison jurisdictions in the United States, the task of collecting official information was difficult; obtaining such information from the many thousands of local authorities responsible for city and county jails would have been infinitely more so. Yet we should emphasize that our lack of specific research on jails should be not interpreted as suggesting that the problem does not occur there. Although little research has been done on sexual assault in jails, the few commentators who have examined the topic have found the abuse to be similarly or even more prevalent there.
It is evident to Human Rights Watch, even without having completed exhaustive research into the jail context, that the problems we describe with regard to prisons generally hold true for jails as well. This conclusion derives from the fact that most of the risk factors leading to rape exist in prisons and jails alike. We therefore believe that our recommendations for reform are largely applicable in the jail context, and we urge jail authorities to pay increased attention to the issue of prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse.
While this report does not deal specifically with juvenile institutions, we note that previous research, while extremely scanty, suggests that inmate-on-inmate sexual abuse may be even more common in juvenile institutions than it is in facilities for adults. Indeed, a case filed recently by the U.S. Justice Department in federal court to challenge conditions in a Louisiana juvenile institution includes serious allegations of inmate-on-inmate rape.
Finally, our choice of U.S. prisons as the subject of this research, over prisons elsewhere in the world, in no way indicates that we believe the problem to be unique to the United States. On the contrary, our international prison research convinces us that prisoner-on-prisoner rape is of serious concern around the world. We note that several publications on human rights or prison conditions in other countries have touched on or explored the topic, as have past Human Rights Watch prison reports.(8) Interestingly, researchers outside of the United States have reached many of the same conclusions as researchers here, suggesting that specific cultural variables are not determinative with regard to rape in prison.(9)
The report is primarily based on information collected from over 200 prisoners spread among thirty-seven states. The majority of these inmates have been raped or otherwise sexually abused while in prison, and were therefore able to give firsthand accounts of the problem. Numerous inmates who were not subject to sexual abuse also provided their views on the topic, including information about sexual assaults that they had witnessed. A very small number of inmates who had themselves participated in rape also contributed their perspectives. Much of the information was received via written correspondence, although Human Rights Watch representatives spoke by telephone with a number of prisoners, and personally interviewed twenty-six of them. Prisoner testimonies were supplemented by documentary materials such as written grievances, court papers, letters, and medical records.
Prisoners were contacted using several different methods. Human Rights Watch posted announcements in a number of publications and leaflets that reach prisoners--including Prison Legal News, Prison Life Magazine (which has since ceased publication), and Florida Prison Legal Perspectives--informing them that we were conducting research on the topic of prisoner-on-prisoner sexual abuse and that we welcomed their information. Several organizations that work with prisoners, including Stop Prisoner Rape, put us in contact with additional inmates.
The prisoners who collaborated in our efforts were thus a largely self-selected group, not a random sampling. Previous researchers have conducted quantitative studies using statistically valid techniques in certain U.S. prisons -- most recently, in 1998 in seven midwestern state prison systems -- but, given that there are some two million prisoners in the United States, this would be difficult to achieve on a national scale. The research on which the present report was based was thus qualitative in nature: it sought to identify systemic weaknesses rather than to quantify actual cases of abuse. The result, we believe, sketches the outlines of a national problem, bridging the gap between academic research on the topic and the more anecdotal writings that occasionally appear in the popular press.
The prisoners with whom Human Rights Watch was in contact, we should emphasize, did not simply serve as a source of case material. Rather, their comments and insights--based on firsthand knowledge and close observation--inform every page of the report.
Besides prisoners, we also obtained valuable information from prison officials, prison experts, lawyers who represent prisoners, prisoners rights organizations, and prisoners' relatives. Written materials including academic studies, books, and articles from the popular press supplemented these sources. In addition, Human Rights Watch conducted an extensive review of the case law relevant to prison rape in the United States.
Or long enough to beat up a former Border Patrol agent, right?
While there is some truth in what you wrote, there are far too many poorly run prisons where officials do look the other way and/or are understaffed. There is no excuse for bribery and prisoners getting a hold of contraband, but it still happens a lot.
These days our prison system as a whole is probably America's greatest shame. Lots of reasons, from both the left and right, that led up to where we are, but it is inexcusable and we need reforms.
LOL, don't you mean "work detail"?
In reality it would not take much to target someone then gang rape them. Three guys with a heavy object could knock someone silly then do their business on him. A blanket could be used to restrain someone just as easily as a few t-shirts and a shank. All that has to happen is someone get caught looking the other way and they are done.
Now, if you are a loner then you are toast. Having a prison bud or two around you at all times will pretty much keep the risks to a minimum.
Could the lesson here be... Driving while drunk causes aids? Therefore... do not drive drunk?? Hark! Hark! Another no brainer.
Let's just say my faith in the fairness of the judicial system has waned somewhat in light of Janet Reno's jailing of the family in the child abuse cases in Florida, the Duke rape case debacle, Rush's brush with a grandstanding DA, Libby's show trial etc etc.
I don't know about castration but the people who are paid to run these prisons have gotten a pass for too long
Wardens and guards upon whose watch this occurs skate with total impunity
Until they are held accountable this will only get worse
Bullies in public schools serve the same purpose as rapists in prisons -- keeping the victims aware of their helplessness.
You need to do your homework, Mr. Cool.
My family has a friend who was wrongly accused of rape by his very messed-up daughter. This man was entirely innocent, a good church-going fellow who loved his family and had never been in trouble with the law. His teenage daughter went off to college in another state and was basically brainwashed. She concocted lie upon lie about what her father "did" to her when she was living with him.
Her word was enough to get this man arrested and thrown into a big city jail, where he remained for weeks while his lawyer and family tried to get him out. Eventually, his daughter recanted everything and admitted she made it up. In the process? This man's life was destroyed, his career ruined -- and who knows what unspeakable horrors he faced while behind bars.
So I think YOUR ignorance is what's dumb.
What? you make no sense whatsoever!
Yeah, kind of hard to be sexually dominant and aggressive wearing pink...
Having a Stick man helps
Lack of sympathy is one of the signs of a sociopath. You may want to have that checked into.
As for hard labor -- I would tend to agree with you. I'd rather chop cotton on a chain gang than take it up the pooper in an air conditioned cell any day.
Well said.
Why would you think it might be me? I don't drink and drive, I don't consume illegal substances, I don't shoplift, I don't drive without proof of insurance, I have a valid disabled parking tag, and I don't mouth off to law enforcement.
You have a good point, my uncle is a retired CO and I have few other relatives that still work in the prison system. But don't think for one second being black means you will not get raped. He always talked about how the men that were considered by black women to be very good looking were frequent targets. Women prisons are getting very bad also, because I have heard horror stories on how some women inmates have raped other inmates by putting objects in them.
A few years back my uncle was talking about a man who was freed after serving 13 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit (DNA evidence proved his innocence) the sad part about it is he was raped in prison and contracted HIV. Just to see all those people that have been exonerated through DNA evidence is downright scary. It is a shame that so many innocent people have spent time in prison for crimes they didn't commit.
You miss the whole point.
1. Yes, if you are the 1 % that is innocent and beaten or raped..so what about statistics?
2. this should not be happening in American prisons...and all of you Maroons who think its "not so bad" are justifying it!
3 out of how many? My issue is that it't not correct to say "that it is very easy to end up in slam in the United States, even if you're 100% innocent". To me the words mean that it's very easy to land in jail in this country for doing nothing. I don't agree with that and neither do the statistics. If the poster meant something different they have had the opportunity to clarify what they meant.
"It can't happen to me" is one of the most foolish things a person can say.
Maybe he hit and killed someone while he was driving drunk. That might have been left out of the letter--especially if the victim was a woman or child--in order to create a more sympathetic portrayal of the offender.
hey someday you could be thrown in the slammer for advocating spanking or refusing to give up you guns; either way whether it affects you personally or not ain't the issue its simply un-Christian to allow this sort of thing to prevail.
Speaking of which a fair amount of the folks Christ showed sympathy for were criminals.
He didn't say he was in a federal prison.
Your post addresses a subject that needs to be addressed, unless we in America consider that homosexual rape is the appropriate punishment for almost any crime that gets you prison time. Or even the appropriate result of an accusation. In my view, if that is the punishment we will administer, it needs to be part of the code.
I think a lot of folks here ought to keep in mind the phrase, "There but for the grace of God go I."
I'm shakin' it boss!
Yep, bring back the chain gangs. ....or Sheriff Joe Arpaio-type prisons. No drugs, no rape, no nonsense. Hard labor all day and the Disney Channel for an hour or two before a much needed sleep.
Also, consider that the example in this case: the guy went to prison with a drinking problem. He will come out with AIDS, perhaps as a sexual predator. He may choose to take his frustrations on on children. He may become a rapist. Or maybe he will just become a street bum. One thing that is sure is that he is unlikely to reintigrate into society and have a nice family life.
So, we have turned him into a lifetime liability by our inability to control the gangs running our prisons. What will he cost the taxpayer by the time he's run out his life? Millions and millions.
And don't get a vindictive ex-wife who plays the "abuse" card.
Unfortunately, in the real world, it does not always work that way: http://www.innocenceproject.org/ Also, just think of prosectors such as Nifong.
Granted, it's probably not incredibly common, but it's not incredibly rare, either.
No, not the same thing. Beat the crap out of someone is administering justice. Turning your back on a crime against a convict is another.
I don't think the lack of professionalism is proper. Rather, I only offered an explanation for it.
I'm not sure why murder and rape are now considered lesser crimes than they were when I was a kid, but that's the world we live in. I believe that rapists and child molesters should have their genitalia removed. The punishment should fit the crime.
Prison is not just for criminals. This is a real problem. I have a friend who did time and he said that in the Iowa prison he was in there was no rape or harassment at all.
That's about asinine. Ever break the speed limit by 1 mph? Do you have shoelaces and a gun? Do you have bleach and ammonia in the same house?
You are right, this should not be happening in Amercian prisons and I never said it should be. The fact that it is means we are doing a bad job at watching the inmates.
One more time, the person I responded to posted something that if you read their words indicates it's very easy to be arrested and jailed in this country even if you are 100% innocent. I don't agree.
8"x8" cells. No personal effects. Toilet and concrete cot, only.
Already been tried. The original "penitentiaries" were organizational incarnations of Quaker idealism. With their faith in "the inner light," and conviction that people with time to repent would do so, the Quakers devised secular monasteries. Hardened criminals would, if given enough time by themselves, see the error of their ways and come to repentance/reformation.
Didn't work that way. The innovators failed to allow for human depravity. What actually happened was, the "penitents" went insane. But, the buildings were already built, and personnel hired, so the failed experiment continued.
Biblical justice has no room for long-term incarceration. Execution, yes. Fines, yes. Penal servitude, yes. The goal of Biblical justice is not the reformation of the offender, but the restoration of the damaged social order, and the "making whole" of the victims.
So true.
Meting out justice is the prerogative of society, through due process of law. It's not the purview of gangs in prison. Inmates being able to get away with this sort of thing indicates that they're the ones running the institutions, and that's completely unsatisfactory, whether you have sympathy for this particular individual or not.
I read Liddy's Autobio.He seemed to handle the problem pretty well as I recall.Earned the inmate's respect,even the black ones you might have suspected would have had it out for him.
Bingo mysterio!
It is the lame-brain way to not have the discussion they know nothing about/are scared to confront.
Sheesh, it's hard to believe that any freepers could be this dense. I'd expect such utter lack of thought and real-world knowledge out of a moonbat crowd, but not a bunch of freepers!!!
"Don't violate the law"
And if you do, don't let them take you alive...
The part in bold may be one of the dumber things I've ever seen posted here.
Here in Georgia, we just had a man released from prison because DNA exonerated him from a rape conviction. He served 21 years. It does happen.
I remember a while back reading an account by a former guard at Angola State Prison in Louisiana (being interviewed anonymously) about the situation there in the Fifties and Sixties. The gist of it was that homosexual rape was a tool used by the prison administration to maintain control of the facilities. They were understaffed, and couldn't really control the behavior of largest, most aggressive inmates short of shooting them (which led to all sorts of uncomfortable state investigations and such), so to keep them quiescent they would arrange for "the blondest boy" out of the next load of inmates to be sent to their cell as a reward for the bad guy in question remaining relatively cooperative with the guards. Also, troublemakers were set up for it while the staff looked the other way - a situation that has also occurred in California at Corcoran State Prison as recently as two years ago (a well-publicized case).
The point is that it doesn't appear to be totally random - at well-run facilities, homosexual rape is virtually non-existent - but when it does happen the staff is frequently at fault - either through disinterest or as an active co-conspirator.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
And they are justifying rape, which is still a crime the last time I checked. That is sick.
I also have a hard time feeling sorry for someone after their third DUI. So I really don't have any symphathy for the guy. My friend just lost her hubby to a drunk driver (4th DUI) in August 2006. Her hubby's was coming home from work after a 12 hour shift. They had 2 little boys and she was 5 months pregnant with their 3rd child. She is in her twenties and left to raise 3 kids under the age of 5 on her own. So I have a very hard time feeling sorry for a drunk drivers. She has my symphathy, her hubby was 100% innocent.
A black male in the United States has about a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison during his lifetime. For a Hispanic male, it's 1 in 6; for a white male, 1 in 17.
That's prison, mind you, not merely jail, like I was stuck in for a night.
Jail rates --- for everything from traffic tickets to MIP to being a material witness --- is much higher --- I do not recall the numbers but far in excess of 50% --- I think 75% --- of U.S. males will have been in jail at least once in their lives.
So, yes, that qualifies as "very easy."
While you don't apparently care about these people, 95 percent of all inmates are eventually released. Upon release, male prisoner rape survivors bring with them a lot of baggage that makes them much more likely to be violent upon release.
So, if nothing else, care to protect your own ass.
Exactly. It is not a job a normal, sane person would want, which is why the prisons end up employing so many who are callous or downright sadistic.

I put about $2900 in the stock today and I bid at the trading price and my order was filled pretty darn quick. Before the earnings report I had to bid at the ask if I wanted to buy any stock. This tells me that there are a lot of sellers of the stock. But at this valuation, I will keep buying. I fully expect to lose money on this in the near term but who knows, surprises are everywhere in the market. This is a solid company and will be worth vastly more 5 years from now.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
LACO is more of a management company. The lion's share of the profits in this industry are made in owning the casino not running it. Full House is just going to keep on growing. Full House is entering a new phase with higher margins that even some have discussed on this board. I agree with the analysts that Full House is severely undervalued. LACO is worth $80 million according to the market yet only has $35 million in sales? I mean that's more than what Full House is worth and Full House has $128 million in sales. Your getting a cheaper stock here as I said. Profits are hard to gauge for both companies as LACO doesn't have a good track record of being profitable. Full House will keep paying down debt and acquire new properties at EBITDA of $10-$15M as is well known. at a multiple of of 5-7 this means that each property should add just about $100 million in market cap. And don't think this management team is gonna stop buying properties. Statement of cash flows also suggests this company will keep generating cash to pay down debt. So, your in a good spot owning this.
This is why I'm just gonna keep buying stock. I bought 200 more shares today to test. It was all I had left in the bank... The market firmed up. That was good to see.
it is amazing that Black swarm is posting the same data about Laco that Jtyler did on the Laco forum. Do you both share the same brain.
Very said Jtyler that you need to create an alias because everyone else is against you. Grow up. Grow a set.
I'm done with you. Both of your personalities can enjoy your stock losses.

Acting Against Recommendations
Let's say you head to the emergency room with stomach pains. The doc in charge says, "Yep, you've got appendicitis. But I'm brutally tired, so...I recommend you go home." Odds are, if the doc himself had appendicitis, he'd get someone to take that puppy out, stat.
Acting Against Recommendations is kind like that—just in the financial world. If your broker tells you to do something he wouldn't recommend for his own investments, he has a duty to tell you that he wouldn't do that same thing in his own case.
Why would anyone act against recommendations? Well, in the case of the doc, maybe he is so tired that he's a dangerous menace in the O.R. In the case of the broker, maybe there's something about your specific situation that makes acting against recommendation the way to go. As long as they tell you, it's totally legit.

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with heparin, any member of a group of glycosaminoglycans found mainly as an intracellular component of mast cells and which consist predominantly of alternating alpha-(1->4)-linked D-galactose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate residues.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with one or more specific sites on a receptor molecule, a macromolecule that undergoes combination with a hormone, neurotransmitter, drug or intracellular messenger to initiate a change in cell function.
The deposition of hydroxyapatite, a form of calcium phosphate with the formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, in bone tissue.
The process in which a neuroblast acquires the specialized structural and functional features of a dopaminergic neuron, a neuron that secretes dopamine.
The process, occurring in the embryo, by which the anatomical structures of the forelimb are generated and organized. The forelimbs are the front limbs of an animal, e.g. the arms of a human.
The process, occurring in the embryo, by which the anatomical structures of the hindlimbs are generated and organized. The hindlimbs are the posterior limbs of an animal.
The process in which a highly ordered sequence of patterning events generates the branched epithelial tubes of the lung, consisting of reiterated combinations of bud outgrowth, elongation, and dichotomous subdivision of terminal units.
The increase in size or mass of a lung. In all air-breathing vertebrates the lungs are developed from the ventral wall of the oesophagus as a pouch which divides into two sacs. In amphibians and many reptiles the lungs retain very nearly this primitive sac-like character, but in the higher forms the connection with the esophagus becomes elongated into the windpipe and the inner walls of the sacs become more and more divided, until, in the mammals, the air spaces become minutely divided into tubes ending in small air cells, in the walls of which the blood circulates in a fine network of capillaries. In mammals the lungs are more or less divided into lobes, and each lung occupies a separate cavity in the thorax.

Jenkins '80 Named AARP CEO
WASHINGTON, May 13, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of AARP, one of the nation's largest and most powerful nonprofit advocacy groups, has unanimously selected Jo Ann Jenkins (@JoAnn_Jenkins) as its new chief executive officer, to succeed longtime CEO A. Barry Rand on September 1, 2014.
"After an extensive, thoughtful and deliberative national search, the AARP Board unanimously selected Jo Ann Jenkins as our new Chief Executive Officer," said Gail Aldrich, Chair of the AARP Board of Directors. "Jo Ann is a seasoned leader and innovator. She has an obvious passion for AARP and she fully embraces the social mission. Jo Ann is an inspirational leader who proactively engages at all levels of the organization and is comfortable operating in the public eye. She has demonstrated experience working across party lines that, coupled with her broad business experience, are essential to AARP's success at this time. Her in-depth knowledge of AARP, AARP Foundation and ASI (AARP Services, Inc.) provide her with an intimate familiarity with the key business models and operations of AARP."
Jenkins currently serves as executive vice president and chief operating officer of AARP, a role she assumed in March of 2013. In this position she has streamlined the organization's strategic planning, technology and digital operations to enable AARP to devote greater resources to its core mission. She led the development of the new enterprise-wide strategy that includes defining and facilitating operational priorities, as well as maximizing AARP's mission.
"I am grateful for the trust that the AARP Board has given me to lead this amazing organization," said Jenkins. "I truly believe that for every member of our society, age and experience can expand your possibilities in life. I feel a great deal of responsibility for ensuring that AARP is here as a trusted ally for people 50+ and their families and that we protect the most vulnerable among us."
Prior to being named chief operating officer, Jenkins served as President of AARP Foundation, where she developed and oversaw programs that have improved the lives of millions of Americans, fighting hunger, poverty, isolation, and unemployment among older adults and contributing millions of dollars to disaster relief. In her first two years at the Foundation, Jenkins grew its overall donor base by 90 percent.
A native of Mobile, Ala., she earned her Bachelor of Arts from Spring Hill College in 1980. She is a 1998 graduate of the Stanford Executive Program, offered by the university's Graduate School of Business.

Keywords: CFATS, DHS
Chemical manufacturers will continue to lobby for permanent authorization of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS), the federal chemical plant-site security program. Under the nearly five-year-old initiative, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires more than 4,700 high-risk facilities to conduct vulnerability assessments, develop site security plans, and implement protective measures to meet DHS-defined risk-based performance standards.
CFATS is currently authorized as an add-on to a DHS funding bill, . . .

Beet Salsa
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
The beet, better known as the beetroot down under, is very popular in Australia. This versatile beet salsa turns burgers and fish into something quite special! This recipe is from an Australian recipe website. Enjoy!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 beets, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 shallot, trimmed, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper
- Wearing rubber gloves to avoid staining your hands, peel the beet. Coarsely grate the beet into a large glass or ceramic bowl.
- Combine the mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir the mustard mixture, dill and shallot into the grated beets. Season with salt and pepper.
Most Helpful
Super easy. I will be serving it atop some vegan "burgers" tomorrow for lunch. My shallot was SUPER strong and I only used 1/2 of a bulb (thankfully). Next time I will add a splash of vinegar and use green onions instead of shallots. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT8 for Team Jammin Jazzberries for AUS/NZ.
I am not sure that I would call this a salsa, but whatever you call it, I am certainly making this again soon. I served it on Chipotle Bean Burgers and it meshed with those flavors so well, while adding a nice crunch. I think it is the mustard dill spicing that really makes this special. Keeps well too. (OK, for 48 hours anyway, which is how long our batch lasted).
Easy ro make and healthy too. A good no-cook recipe. I liked the tang of the lemon and mustard with the crunch of the beetroots. Reviewed for ZWT8 visit to Australia and New Zealand. Photo also to be posted

Located near premium outlets to make you think they are one.
The staff cleverly persuade you to buy the item you are interested in or an accessory by luring you with sales talk e.g. it is on sale at half price and how good a buy it is. Eventually you succumb and buy the item only to find out you paid way too much. I purchased a Sima DX Lens Cleaning Pen for $69 which is online for between $6.95 and $12.95.
You are only ever made aware of the store policy after your purchase. It can be found on the bottom of the credit card receipt. It reads *All sales are final*, *No refunds or exchanges*
Do not bother even asking for a refund or exchange...you wont get one. This store only wants your money and as much as it can.
My advice: Do not go to this store. Always ask the store for its policy on refunds or exchanges. Do your research first.
Very sad end to a lovely holiday in Florida.

Never, ever do business with this company. TJ Petrie is a liar and a cheat. There has been no response to my last 3 e-mails. You can read below for yourself.
After I got the invoice, I saw on the invoice that there was nowhere indicating where I should pick up the order. I had assumed since it let me order the product for pickup that there was a location in my area, but TJ let me know that there was not a pickup location in my area. My e-mails are in bold, their responses in italics. The only information I have removed is my personal information.
Thank you for shopping with BG Boards at http://shop.buckeyegameboards.com. Please allow up to 7 business days for cornhole bags and up to 3 weeks for custom cornhole boards to be shipped.

I would really appreciate a prompt response. If I do not hear back from someone soon, I will be calling my credit card company as well as posting my opinion of your business on the Better Business Bureau as well as scam.com, scam checker, rip off report, and scam adviser websites. I was really looking forward to working with you guys, your prices are fair and you seemed like you really knew your stuff, but I have totally lost faith in the integrity of your company. All I want is the product I ordered over a month ago.

I am not sure what is going on. I have been out of the office handling a family emergency. I am almost certain that your order was shipped.

Mass. woman sues over spouse's Vt. triathlon deathThe Associated Press | July 26,2013SALEM, Mass. - The widow of a Massachusetts man who drowned during a triathlon in Vermont last year has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the event's organizers.
Lawyers for Richard Angelo's widow, Cheryl, say Colorado-based USA Triathlon should never have allowed the event to take place in an unusually choppy Lake Champlain, failed to properly train staff in emergency responses, didn't have enough staff on hand, and did not have adequate lifesaving equipment.
The suit filed Wednesday in Salem Superior Court seeks damages for wrongful death, pain and suffering, emotional distress on the part of his widow, and punitive damages.
The 53-year-old Beverly man died last Aug. 18.
