Legal Strategies to End Solitary Confinement: Strategies & Prospects w/ Bret Grote, Alice Lynd, Staughton Lynd, & Witold 'Vic' Walczak (approved for 1.0 PA CLE credit hour)
Panel Summary: The dramatic, historically and globally unprecedented use of solitary confinement seen in the U.S. during the past thirty years has been an integral part to the vast expansion of race- and class-based mass imprisonment. Hundreds of thousands of people cycle in and out of the psychologically toxic and emotionally harmful conditions of solitary confinement each year in the U.S., with more than 80,000 men, women, and children are held in 23-24 hour lockdown on any given day in jails, prisons, and immigrant detention centers in the U.S.
This panel brings together litigators to discuss strategies for limiting or eliminating the ability of prison officials to impose solitary confinement. The workshop will include discussion of specific constitutional challenges to placing the mentally ill and intellectually disabled in isolation, long-term solitary confinement lasting up to 20 and 30 years, due process issues, and the role of the First Amendment and press access in exposing conditions of confinement recognized as a human rights violation by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.
Speaker Bios: Bret Grote: Executive Director of the Abolitionist Law Center and lawyer for Russell Maroon Shoatz and Arthur Cetewayo Johnson. Maroon was recently released from more than 22 years of solitary confinement. Cetewayo has been in solitary confinement for more than 34 years. Bret has worked with the Human Rights Coalition since 2007 as an investigator, organizer, and researcher. He was the Isabel and Alger Hiss Racial Justice Fellow at the Center for Constitutional Rights in 2012. He graduated from the University of Pitt Law School in May 2013 and was recognized as the school's Distinguished Public Interest Scholar.
Staughton & Alice Lynd: The Lynds retired in 1996 from Northeast Ohio Legal Services where they practiced employment law. Since then, they have become deeply involved with prisoners who were convicted and sentenced to death, or many years in prison, for their alleged roles in the 1993 uprising at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility at Lucasville, Ohio. They made the first visit to any prisoner at Ohio's supermax prison when it opened in 1998. As volunteer attorneys for the ACLU of Ohio, together with Jules Lobel of the Center for Constitutional Rights, they litigated a class action that went to the Supreme Court of the United States and established due process rights of prisoners in prolonged solitary confinement, Wilkinson v. Austin.
Staughton and/or Alice have published numerous books and articles, among them: Lucasville: The Untold Story of a Prison Uprising (2004; 2d ed., 2011); Layers of Injustice: Re-Examining the Lucasville Uprising (2013, presented as CLE material at the 2013 NLG Midwest Regional Conference); Stepping Stones: Memoir of a Life Together (2009, containing a section on their work on behalf of prisoners); Rank and File: Personal Histories by Working-Class Organizers (expanded ed., 2011, including all of the first edition, 1973, and eight accounts from The New Rank and File, 2000); Accompanying: Pathways to Social Change (2013); and, "Unfair and Can't Be Fixed: The Machinery of Death in Ohio" (University of Toledo Law Review, Fall 2012).
Witold "Vic" Walczak: The son of a Polish Holocaust survivor, Vic came to the United States at age three. He graduated from Colgate University and Boston College Law School. Before attending law school Vic traveled to martial-law Poland, where he experienced the deprivation of civil liberties, including police brutality, wiretapping and a strip search. Vic joined the ACLU in 1992, after five years of prisoners' rights work at Maryland's Legal Aid Bureau. He served for twelve years as the Pittsburgh Chapter's executive director. In 2004 he became the ACLU of Pennsylvania's legal director. Besides specializing in free-speech and religious-liberty cases, Vic has handled nationally significant cases involving challenges to widespread police misconduct, substandard public-defender services, and the Secret Service's use of "protest zones" to shield President Bush from demonstrators. In 2005, Vic was one of three lawyers who successfully tried Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, the first case challenging the teaching in public schools of "intelligent design" (ID), which the ACLU claimed was creationism repackaged. Most recently, Vic was co-lead counsel in a precedent-setting case challenging an anti-illegal-immigrant ordinance in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, the first of its kind in the nation. Vic has received many honors, including the 2003 Federal Lawyer of the Year award from the Federal Bar Association's Western Pennsylvania Chapter. He is one of the lawyers in the Disability Rights Network v. Wetzel lawsuit challenging the PA DOC's placement of mentally ill people in solitary confinement.

She graduated in 2006 from the Georgetown University Law Center with a Juris Doctorate and Certificate in Refugee and Humanitarian Emergencies.
Labor Renewal in the Rustbelt: Fighting the Fight w/ Nancy Grim, Daniel Kovalik, Margot Nikitas, & Tony Paris (approved for 1.0 PA CLE credit hour)
Panel Summary: For decades now, the rank-and-file workers in the "Rustbelt" Region, especially those in the manufacturing and supply sectors, have experienced a mass exodus of jobs coinciding with an attack on their right to organize and to fight back against unfair treatment with employment law litigation. As large private sector unions struggle to stop the bleeding and gain power back, creative and alternative strategies are needed. This panel will explore these trends, as well as community-based responses, outreach and education concerning workers rights, legislative developments, and other legal tools available to workers and their attorneys.
Speaker Bios: Nancy Grim is an employee rights attorney in private practice in Kent, Ohio since 1984 who has successfully litigated many employee rights and employment discrimination claims to trial or settlement. Certified by the Ohio State Bar Association as a Specialist in Labor and Employment Law, she is also a member of the Ohio Employment Lawyers Association, Ohio State Bar Association, National Employment Lawyers Association, and the National Lawyers Guild.
Daniel Kovalik is Senior Associate General Counsel of the United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO (USW). He has worked for the USW since graduating from Columbia Law School in 1993. While with the USW, he has served as lead counsel on cutting-edge labor law litigation, including the landmark NLRB cases of Lamons Gasket and Specialty Health Care.

He is also an adjunct professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.
Margot Nikitas is Associate General Counsel for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE). Before moving to Pittsburgh in 2012, Margot spent the previous 10 years in Chicago, where she was active in the labor and immigrant justice movements.
Tony Paris, Lead Attorney of the Sugar Law Center in Detroit, MI specializing in the WARN Act (plant closings and mass layoffs), wage & hour actions involving temporary and low-wage workers, unemployment insurance appeals, and NLRB claims. The Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice is a national, nonprofit organization, dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of working people and their communities. Driving Sugar Law's work is the principle that civil, economic and social rights are inseparable from human rights.
Tools to Dismantle the School to Prison Pipeline w/ Decarcerate PA, Cheryl Kleiman, Ngani Ndimbie, & Nancy Potter (approved for 1.0 PA CLE credit hour)
Panel Summary: This panel will bring together lawyers and community organizers to discuss the problem of the School to Prison Pipeline, the causes of it, and legal and community driven solutions to dismantle the School to Prison Pipeline. Zero-tolerance policies, aggressive policing in schools, and other extreme school discipline practices lead to high rates of suspensions, expulsions, and arrests of students. As a result, large numbers of youth are pushed out of school and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. These policies and practices also fuel systemic inequalities and disparate educational outcomes based on race, gender, perceived sexual orientation, disability status, and other categories.
Speaker Bios: Decarcerate PA is a coalition of organizations and individuals seeking an end to mass incarceration and the harms it brings our many communities. Decarcerate PA seeks mechanisms to establish and maintain whole, healthy communities and believes that imprisonment exacerbates the problems we face. Decarcerate PA's work is guided by its three point platform, which demands that Pennsylvania stop building prisons, reduce the prison population, and reinvest money in our schools and communities.
Cheryl Kleiman is an attorney with the Education Law Center in Pittsburgh. She recently moved from Seattle where she was an advocate for former foster youth and taught law students how to lobby policymakers on behalf of undeserved children. Cheryl received her law degree from the University of Washington and has a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration from the University of Arizona. Prior to law school, Cheryl lived in Washington, D.C. where she worked at Mathematica Policy Research. She is a proud volunteer of the Allegheny Reproductive Health Center and New Voices Pittsburgh.
Ngani Ndimbie is a community organizer at the ACLU of Pennsylvania. She is a Pittsburgh native who graduated from the University of Florida where she studied political science and visual arts, graduating with a degree in Creative Photography. Prior to joining the ACLU, she worked with the Regional Equity Monitoring Project and the League of Young Voters.
Nancy E. Potter is a Staff Attorney at the Education Law Center. Nancy works on cases and projects in all major areas of education advocacy, focusing on improving school climate, dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline and ensuring equal access to well-funded public education. Prior to joining ELC, Nancy represented abused, neglected and at-risk youth in the foster care system. The Education Law Center is the only statewide legal advocacy group whose mission is to ensure that all of Pennsylvania's children have access to quality public schools, including children living in poverty, children of color, children with disabilities, children in the court system, English Language learners, and other vulnerable children.
Community Lawmaking As Civil Disobedience w/ Ben Price & Chad Nicholson (approved for 1.0 PA CLE credit hour)
Panel Summary: A growing number of communities across PA and the United States are seizing control of their local governments to pass laws called Community Bills of Rights. These laws assert fundamental rights for the residents of the community, including the right to local self-government, the right to clean air, and the right to pure water; and then, prohibit activities that would violate those rights, such as fracking, factory farms, the spreading of sewage sludge, and injection wells. Over 160 communities in 9 states have now passed these laws, creating a grassroots movement focused on liberating communities to begin moving towards a sustainable future free from corporate harms.
Speaker Bios: The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit, public interest law firm providing free and affordable legal services to communities facing threats to their local environment, local agriculture, the local economy, and quality of life. Our mission is to build sustainable communities by assisting people to assert their right to local self-government and the rights of nature.
Established in 1995, the Legal Defense Fund has now become the principal advisor to community groups and municipal governments struggling to transition from merely regulating corporate harms to stopping those harms by asserting local, democratic control directly over corporations. Through grassroots organizing, public education and outreach, legal assistance, and drafting of ordinances, we have now assisted over 110 municipalities in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maine, and Virginia to draft and adopt new laws with over 350,000 people living under these governing frameworks. These laws address activities such as corporate water withdrawals, longwall coal mining, factory farming, the land application of sewage sludge, and uranium mining.
Michigan's Emergency Manager Law & Detroit's Bankruptcy Filing: The Ghost of Christmas Future! w/ Alec Gibbs, Cynthia Heenan, Julie Hurwitz, John Philo, & Thomas Stephens (approved for 1.0 PA CLE credit hour)
Panel Summary: Detroit's Bankruptcy filing touched off a nation-wide discussion about how Detroit got into such financial trouble, how to fix it and whether it is an isolated incident or merely the first domino to fall. Much of what you have heard from the media is incorrect or incomplete. There are serious questions about whether Detroit even qualifies for bankruptcy. What many people don't know is that Detroit's bankruptcy filing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new means of government-sponsored shifting of wealth to the 1% (I know, so last year) and doing so disproportionately at the expense of people of color. Michigan is the proverbial canary in the coal mine — they came for us in the long dark night of a lame-duck legislative session.
Thanks to the Koch brothers and their ilk and our corporate-owned politicians, Michigan has a new form of government. And if they get away with it here, it will be coming to your state. You can kiss your right to vote good-by. It wasn't Detroit's elected City Council or Mayor of Detroit who signed the Bankruptcy Petition.
Michigan's Public Act 436 of 2012 empowers the Governor to appoint an Emergency Manager (EM), with the full powers of both the legislative and executive branches, for any city, county or school system deemed to be in a "financial emergency." The EM can unilaterally modify contracts, terminate CBAs and cancel public pensions; he can sell off the City's assets and privatize its services with impunity to pay off the sacred creditors. His term is virtually unlimited.
A dozen or more cities and school districts are under EMs in Michigan, including Detroit, and the vast majority of citizens in those cities and school districts are people of color. Seemingly unbeknownst to the national media, their assets are being sold, their schools shuttered, their union contracts torn up and their services privatized. They will be left momentarily without debt, but with their tax bases eroded and revenue streams dammed up, bound to repeat the cycle — as has already happened in several instances in Michigan. And, all this despite repeal of a nearly identical act by Michigan's voters last fall.
Detroit's EM filed for bankruptcy at least in part in an attempt to halt the litigation (initiated by Sugar Law and Detroit Chapter Guild members together with unions and grassroots groups) challenging the constitutionality of the law. We won't spend much time on the causes of post-industrial urban decay, presuming most Guild members know that tune. Nor do we have to tell anyone that Michigan is not alone at the bottom of the financial heap. We want to focus on what is really going on with the bankruptcy and what portends for the rest of the U.S. We will explore the similarities and differences between high profile municipal bankruptcy and Michigan's much less well-known, but almost equally drastic Emergency Manager Law and how the two together are a toxic cocktail. And, not least, we will analyze the federal constitutional challenges and report on the progress of the litigation.
Speaker Bios: Alec Gibbs is an attorney based in Flint, Michigan. With his father, he represents two retiree associations fighting against Emergency Manager austerity in Flint and Pontiac. He has successfully argued on behalf of retirees twice before the Sixth Circuit and will be appearing before the court en banc in March.

She is also on the Board of the National Police Accountability Project and a member of the ACLU Detroit/Michigan Lawyers Committee.
Julie Hurwitz is a partner at the Detroit firm Goodman & Hurwitz, P.C., where she specializes in civil rights and government misconduct/§1983 litigation. She was the founding Executive Director of the NLG/Maurice & Jane Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice [Sugar Law Center] in Detroit, where she served for more than 10 years. She has successfully tried several civil rights cases to verdict, including police misconduct, prisoner rights, malicious prosecution and wrongful conviction. She has spoken, taught and written extensively on issues pertaining to civil rights, civil liberties and representing victims of constitutional violations. She is Vice President of the Detroit NLG Chapter and is on the Boards of the Sugar Law Center and the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights. She is currently co-counsel, on behalf of the NLG and with the Sugar Law Center, in the federal Constitutional challenge to the recently re-enacted Michigan Emergency Manager Law ("dictator bill"). Ms. Hurwitz is a 1978 graduate, Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of California at Berkeley with a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, and a 1982 graduate from the University of Michigan Law School and has 3 wonderful and talented grown sons, 3 amazing stepchildren and 3 beautiful grandkids.
John Philo is the Legal Director of the Maurice & Jane Sugar Law Center for Economic & Social Justice and Of Counsel to the law firm of Constitutional Litigation Associates. He is a graduate of the St. Louis University School of Law and McGill University's Faculty of Law. Mr. Philo has consulted on and litigated cases throughout Michigan and in dozens of states representing communities, workers and injured persons on matters of constitutional, employment, and tort law. John Philo has represented coalitions of citizens in state and federal courts challenging Michigan's municipal financial emergency laws. He has served as counsel on the first lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Michigan's Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act and Michigan's Local Financial Stability and Choice Act.

I have a lovely customer who recently revisited her knitting days, and found that it brought her much enjoyment. And, like a lot of us who have rediscovered our love of the craft, wanted to get stuck into her first project in years.
She invested in some lovely alpaca yarn, some 4mm needles and spent some time putting together a stripe combination. It was a rib stitch scarf, so took a bit of time to complete but the yarn felt so lush and warm that we all agreed it would be a very worthwhile project.
Every week, my cheery customer would pop in and show off her progress. I have to say, a personal highlight of my job, is to watch people's projects come together and to see the pride on their faces as their work comes together. And she was so thrilled with her growing scarf, that I felt really happy for her.
The finished item was absolutely beautiful – soft, warm and the tension was perfect!
A few weeks later, when it was ridiculously snowy and cold, I was absolutely gutted to hear that some loser had gone into her handbag and taken the scarf when she wasn't looking. A lowly and terrible thing to do in any case, but just the fact that it had been her beautiful hand-knitted scarf!! And not just that, but it had been her very first project and a good accomplishment.
You can easily replace a scarf, but you can't easily replace a hand knitted scarf. Knitting, amongst the other crafts that are seeing a revival, isn't just about the end product. It's a lovely way to create, perfect and construct something that is different and beautiful. The amount of time, money and effort that goes into knitted items varies – but the thought and meaning behind knitted wares is always priceless!
I do think the majority of people, in fact almost everyone I meet in the shop, understands this and appreciates a great knit – I just hope karma comes back to bite this knit thief in the bum!
n.b. Writing this piece had made me want to give my customer some new alpaca wool for a new and even better scarf. Hope she pops in again soon.

I would love to stay in contact with you and support you in your health journey. To receive my newsletter, a Zone Balance session, or update on what I am doing, please contact me on FB or email firstname.lastname@example.com For cookbooks and nutritional supplements go to Mygsglife.com/solerenewal
Did you know that eighty percent of your health is your diet? My name is Leanna Christensen, In 2005 my health and the health of my son were compromised. I had to come to terms with the fact that if I wanted to live a rich quality of life doing the things I love and keep my son around, I needed to do something different. We needed a diet makeover. Since then, I have transformed my family's American standard diet into an energy busting whole food alkaline health plan. I have learned there is almost always a way to make any meal healthier and you don't have to completely give up the foods you love to be successful. Health, in my opinion, is all about moderation: balancing your lifestyle, your plate, your emotion and basically living in harmony with yourself.
We live in an ever changing world where the food industry is constantly changing and our needs are heavily influenced by our fast paced lives. We are constantly on the go needing quick meals. Most food is packaged and heavily processed which means it is filled with chemicals like dyes, preservatives, MSG, etc. Genetically modified food is also on the rise making it hard for our bodies to take in the food and recognize it as such. If we want to live long healthy lives we need to be educated and take accountability for how we live and what we put into our mouths.
I would like to take a quick moment to thank the Crazy Herb Girl for allowing me the opportunity to share this article with you. I completely love her mission to educate the world and open the minds of people to true principles and all ways of healing. Everyone needs different ways of healing at various times in their lives and God provides them. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it by sharing my message.
My life changed when I discovered the Alkaline Lifestyle. In 2005 I was in and out of four doctors offices for about a six month period. I was finally diagnosed with a severe case of acid reflux the kind that burned my entire throat and left me with a chronic cough and a very sore throat. I did not sleep well, I did not eat well, I always felt sick and lacked the energy to take care of my family. They wanted me to take medicine that had a warning list almost the length of the bottle and I could not get myself to take it, feeling it would only mask the symptom. My mother was so concerned she would soon send me articles on esophageal cancer, trying to change my mind about the medicine. I see more often than not, the people closest to me lack the faith in my ability to find answers outside of the box, playing into their own fears not mine. This only made me more determined to find the answers I was looking for. Soon after I found the book, "The PH Miracle" by Doctor Young. This book rocked my world! it was the answer I was looking for. I implemented the alkaline diet immediately and found almost complete healing within 2 months.
Since then, I have studied not only the alkaline diet but how the pH of a body directly influences
the ability to take in the breath of life (oxygen) and nutrients. The pH has three main functions
which are: 1)Control every metabolic function in our body 2) Determine how much oxygen we
can take in 3) Control the enzyme reaction and electrical flow. So basically the pH determines
how food is broken down, distributed, absorbed, one's energy level and how hormones are
produced and distributed to the body to help with all of these processes. Doesn't this seem
important? Why isn't this taught in schools to everyone? I discovered that the body is constantly
monitoring and trying to balance its pH. This can be used as an indicator to tell us when our
body is out of balance in any area: physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. If you can
balance the pH of your body you will improve your health. Awareness of your pH will empower
you to know what to do, what to eat and debunk all the popular myths about health and diets.
You will be more self reliant and that feels AMAZING!!
The alkaline diet consist of whole foods, organic and non-GMO are the best. The most alkaline
foods are the mineral rich foods such as: dark leafy greens, roots, nuts and seeds, foods
ripened on the vine and my favorite, dates and figs. It is also important to include some acidic
foods in a diet to strive for balance and give cells the energy to spin and take up the nutrients.
The goal is to eat more alkaline food than acidic food. The 80/20 rule is my guideline when
creating my plate of food: 80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic foods. The most acidic food is
sugar; It is best not to eat refined sugar because this will create too much acid in the body which
eventually creates inflammation and inflammation creates disease. If the food is low in mineral
content or man made it is most likely very acidic and would be best to stay away from it. You
want to incorporate fruits to feed the brain with their natural sugar, for example: berries, pears,
apples and melons. Other fruit like pineapple and papaya are great for breaking down foods
like protein. I don't count calories, fat grams or sodium. If you are eating whole foods they will
provide the right amounts of nutrients to your body and the weight will fall off as you naturally rid
your body of toxins. The best guide for me is the 80/20 rule I mentioned above to balance every
plate I make. This rule is what allows you to eat foods you don't really want to get rid of now
and still move toward a healthier body, mind and spirit
I have been in that place of the unknown, not having the answers I needed and feeling like I
didn't know how to change or what to do. I know how this feels, it is a horrible place to be. But I
am here to let you know that there is always a rainbow at the end of the storm. I was led down
my path so that I can find my passion and talents in ZoneBalance, herbs, essential oils and
understanding how the physical, mental and emotional bodies all play their role in healing the
soul. It is a journey that I need to experience, a journey just for me to grow and become what
God wants me to become. You have your journey too and my hope is that this article will bring
you motivation, awareness and peace to take control of your life and your health. You can do it!

There is no reason why our leftover food should be put in rubbish bags and driven through our streets and squares, which is what the red/green parties are proposing. There is a better alternative – that the waste should simply be crushed, flushed down the drain and turned into fuel for buses and cars, writes Karin Karlsbro of Sweden's liberal party.
A modern city offers a unique opportunity to implement a pro-active environmental policy, and a clearer strategic approach would make it possible to maximise Stockholm's environmental potential. This year Stockholm has been voted the ecological capital of Europe; this is gratifying, but nevertheless the bulk of the environmental work still lies ahead of us.
Each individual inhabitant of Stockholm generates approximately 100 kilos of food waste a year. Currently, most of this is incinerated. Instead, it should be possible to convert it into biogas – thereby taking a significant step away from our reliance on fossil fuels and helping to combat climate change.
Over the past four years we have done a great deal to promote recycling and the development of biogas, with the involvement of a biogas company and the introduction of regular input from players in the market. This is good, but a huge amount of work still remains to be done. A report from the Swedish Environment Agency shows that the demand for biogas is expected to increase substantially, by up to 8 times the current production level. Currently, part of the waste from catering operations and restaurants is being used - but the demand shows that we need to view household waste as the valuable resource it really is. How, though, can this be achieved in practical terms?
Folkpartiet (the People's Party) believes that food waste disposal units that are easy to mount under the kitchen sink offer the best solution. Leftover food and organic waste is ground up in the waste disposal unit, then transported via the drainage system to Stockholm's water purification plants and subsequently converted into biogas. The annual "penalty" on food waste disposal units – 390 SKR – has already been abolished by the Alliance. The People's Party now wants to go further and encourage households and property owners to install food waste disposal units. This might be achieved for example by a system of rental/purchase whereby the household can have a waste disposal unit installed and pay a reasonable monthly rental charge over a number of years, eventually acquiring ownership of the unit. We believe that the public interest should also be paramount, prioritising these investments. Food waste disposal units should be provided as a matter of course in the new housing being built in Stockholm.
Even before waste is turned into fuel, handling waste food in this manner offers a number of advantages. The volume of waste transported through the streets is reduced. It is convenient for households to dispose of their waste food via the sink as opposed to putting it in plastic bags or composting it. In addition, many properties do not have enough space to manage the sorting of their waste properly.
Stockholm also needs a new collective research-based strategy for recycling, in which waste and biogas issues are key. Such an initiative should be characterised for example by the ability to guarantee the quality of by-products of recycling and biogas products.
There is no reason why our leftover food should be put in rubbish bags and driven through our streets and squares, as the red/green parties are proposing The alternative – that the waste should simply be crushed, flushed down the drain and turned into fuel for buses and cars, represents a far more attractive option, both for the environment and the inhabitants of Stockholm.

Border collies and their handlers from far and wide are spending a working Memorial Day weekend competing in the third Sheep Dog Trial and Festival at the Steppingstone Museum in Havre de Grace.
Roy Johnson of Gladys, Va., has been judging more than 200 dogs based on how well they can herd sheep through a course and into a pen, a task that favors dogs with speed and stamina. The competition continues through tomorrow.
Sheepdog trials are about showing off the herding ability of border collies, said Steve Paxton-Hill, who is co-host of the trials with his wife, Kathryn.

The output of the models is hard to monitor due to the large number of valuations as well as the overall complexity of the problem. However, every time an unexpected PnL jump has been detected, risk managers, traders and quants have to spend considerable time and effort on tracing back the source of this problem, hopefully leading to more stable models.

Minimization of multiple-valued programmable logic array using simulated annealing.
Download Record
Earle, Robert C.
Butler, Jon T.
Yang, Chyan
MetadataShow full item record
Guaranteed minimal realizations of multi-valued programmable logic arrays can only be accomplished by an exhaustive search. Exhaustive search is not very realistic for complex expressions due to the immense amount of CPU time required to reach a solution. To circumvent this problem, heuristics have been developed. They provide near-rninirnal solutions, but use substantially less CPU time. This thesis investigates a new type of heuristic which is built on the foundation of simple implicant operations controlled by an annealing process. This new type of heuristic is superior to existing heuristics with respect to minimization capability but requires more CPU time.

Risks in SME Financing: Experience 2
Mr. Lion, a grocery shop owner, applied for a loan after a long negotiation with our Customer Relations Officer. Since the business was very good to look and had high daily sale, the entrepreneur was also well mannered, the loan officer was very eager to give him the facility of credit. We approved the facility favoring his SME business and after 9 months we found him as a defaulter. When we went to his business to meet him physically to know the exact matter for which the entrepreneur failed to repay his installment we discovered that the entrepreneur flew away from the business and he sold his business to another entrepreneur. We fell in danger to recover the loan since the outstanding amount of that loan was big. We were looking for the relatives of the entrepreneur to discuss and know the method of recovery of loan, and found that the entrepreneur sold his products by credit and he could not collect the credit amount from his customers and he had another loan from local society who were creating pressure on him to repay their loan for which he flew away. It is mentionable that the entrepreneur was unmarried.
Here the cause of failure of entrepreneur to repay the loan was his mistake of sale goods in credit, since the SME businesses own a small amount of capital; they should not loss their capital from their business anyhow. The entrepreneur had lack of proper plan and policy of business, for which the stability of the business fell in risk. Moreover his marital status was also a notable point to his unconsciousness. His managerial skill was poor.
We had collected the whole outstanding amount from his relatives since they were wealthy and helpful enough, though we had to threat them of legal harassment.

Hybrid Binary – Affluence Network Autoship
We would like to thank you for coming to T.A.N. in looking for "Affluence Network Autoship" online.
You have probably noticed this often times where you typically distribute the great word about crypto. It is not erratic? What happens when the cost accidents? to date, several POS programs delivers free transformation of fiat, improving some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will soon be unwilling to put on any. We must discover a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it is fundamentally vital that you comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the correct area at the right time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's occurring to discover how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Many people choose to use a money deflation, notably people who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living pay check to pay check, it'd take place included in your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.

Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and pass up on quite lucrative business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be hard to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be true: having modest gains is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It's certainly possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities irrespective of marketplace behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you'll be acceptable.

Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also get involved in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not buy all present bitcoins. This situation isn't to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no requirement for large sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The slightest events in the world market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Since among the oldest forms of making money is in cash lending, it really is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on Bitcoin, some of those websites you are demanded fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce an acceptable investment strategy.

Affluence Network Autoship – MLM
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, according to the amount of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it really is worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter course. This option also creates a secure stream of revenue, even if each payment is modest compared to entirely block the reward.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of value, but there is no genuine palpable type of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers assert that there's real worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever declining amount of money or some kind of reward in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol in which it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything shortterm where your visitors can challenge or demand a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most traders will be smart to use a fee processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto currency purchases, you must be sure that safety is hard. With any kind of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your private tips and therefore grab your cash. However, you most likely can never have it back. It is very important for you to follow some excellent safe and secure methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will guard you from many of these damaging events.
In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might possibly be dealt as being a thing. Advocates of cryptocurrencies proclaim that this sort of personal income is not handled with a fundamental banking system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted number of goods, this coinis benefit is based on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency deals.

24 May 2013
In 2009 the United Nations passed a resolution officially recognising 8 June as World Oceans Day. Why not take this opportunity to think what the ocean means to you and share those thoughts with your family?
Blue Planet
Nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered by ocean. It is a vast and powerful resource, but it is not impervious to human destruction. We are all connected by the ocean in one way or another, be it geographically, nutritionally or anecdotally.
Love thy neighbour
The South African coastline stretches more than 2,500km making the ocean our biggest neighbour. We are also the only country in the world to border both the Indian and Atlantic oceans, so we have a big stake in marine conservation. Even if you live hundreds of kilometres from the coast, your actions affect the sea.
We may think of CO2 as something that affects our air and land, but carbon emissions directly affect the ocean too. Every time we boil the kettle, charge a cell phone, drive in a car or in any other way create carbon emissions, we're directly causing the acidification of the ocean and the harmful disruption of marine life that results.
The ocean can absorb about two-thirds of the carbon emissions in the atmosphere, but the more CO2 it tries to absorb, the more acidic it becomes and its delicate marine systems are disrupted. This altered pH causes everything from the softening or thickening of crustacean shells to the bleaching of corals to the overabundance of jellyfish.
Human error
In addition to our carbon footprint, humans need food. Overfishing and poor fishing practices are a major environmental concern. Seafood is not an infinite resource and it is estimated that by 2050 all the earth's fish stocks will be depleted if we do not change the way we consume now.
Action for oceans
Pick n Pay was the first retailer in Africa to commit to stock only sustainably sourced seafood by the end of 2015.

DOS allows you to perform certain activities on the files on a disk, such as copying files, deleting them and renaming them. Let us take a closer look at the commands that instruct DOS to carry out these activities.
Copying Files - the COPY Command
If you have a file on the hard disk, you may want to copy it on to a diskette so that you can work with the same data on another machine. Or, you may want a copy of the data that is on a diskette onto the hard disk. Files can be copied from one disk to the other using the COPYcommand. This command also allows you to copy files to a different location on the same disk.
Copying a File to Another Drive under the Same Name
If you wish to copy the files on the hard disk to the diskette, which is in the A drive, the command is
C>COPY C:COMMAND.COM A:COMMAND.COM <Enter>
After the execution of this command, the file COMMAND.COM will exist on the diskette in the A drive, under the same name. After issuing the above command, the screen appears as follows:
1 File(s) copied
DOS displays the following message to indicate to you that the command has been executed:
1 File(s) copied
When using DOS commands, if the file names are not preceded by the drive name, they are assumed to refer to the active drive. Hence, if COMMAND.COM is on the C drive, which is currently active, referring to it as C:COMMAND.COM or COMMAND.COM means the same. But the files from the non-active drive must have the drive name preceding the file name.
If the name of the file is to remain unchanged, the file name need not be specified after the target drive (the drive to which the file is to be copied), which in the example illustrated, is the A drive.
Copying a File to Another Drive under a Different Name
You may want to make some changes in a particular file without losing the original file. If this is the case, you can copy the file on to another disk and work on the copy. You will probably want to give the copied file another name so that you can distinguish between the two files.
You can do this by specifying the new file name after the drive name.
For example, when you issue the command
C>COPY C:SAL.DAT A:SALARY.DAT <Enter>
the file SAL.DAT on the hard disk will be copied on to the diskette under a new name, SALARY.DAT. The contents of both the files will be the same after the file has been copied.
Copying a File as a New File in the Same Drive
Instead of making a copy of SAL.DAT on a diskette, you may want to make a copy on the hard disk itself. You can copy the file in the same drive by issuing the following command:
C>COPY SAL.DAT SALARY.DAT <Enter>
After the execution of this command, you will have the same file under two different names on the same disk.
Copying Files from One Directory to Another
Let us assume that you have created various files under the root directory. You later realize that some of these files are related to each other and you would rather put them together. Therefore, you make a directory to contain these related files. You will recall that issuing the MD command can do this, but this directory is not automatically going to contain the files that you wish to organize under it. However, you do not have to go through the long-drawn process of creating these files again under the new directory. DOS allows you to copy the files from the root directory to the new directory that you have created. For that matter, DOS allows you to copy files from any one directory to another.
Suppose you have a file named SAL.DAT (containing details of salaries of the employees) under the root directory. Since you have already created a new directory called EMPLOYEE and wish to copy the file SAL.DAT to the EMPLOYEE directory, you issue the following command to do that:
C>COPY C:\SAL.DAT C:\EMPLOYEE <Enter>
After issuing this command, the file SALDAT gets copied under the directory EMPLOYEE.
Similarly, you can copy files from one directory to another by specifying the path to DOS. Consider an example where a file NEWMAN.P exists under the directory ACTORS, which is under the directory FAMOUS on the C drive. If you want to copy it to drive A under the NAMES directory under the root, the command is
C>COPY \FAMOUS\ACTORS\NEWMAN.P A:\NAMES <Enter>
After this command is issued, the file NEWMAN.P will exist on the diskette under the NAMES directory.

. If you're lucky, you actually experience such days less frequently than you have nightmares about them (mine almost always involve
trade shows
, which demonstrates how traumatic that particular form of torture can be). The only remedy is to pick up the work of a master who shows you that whatever's happened to you is
compared to how bad a day really can be—this is such a yarn. This farce is in the fine tradition of
Evelyn Waugh
Tom Sharpe
, and is set in a future in which the British nanny state finally decides to do something about the "epidemic of obesity" which is bankrupting the National Health Service by establishing Well Farms, modelled upon that earlier British innovation, the
concentration camp
The story involves several characters, all of whom experience their own really bad days and come to interact in unexpected ways (you really begin to wonder how the author is going to pull it all together as the pages dwindle, but he does, and satisfyingly). And yet, as is usually the case in the genre, everything ends well for everybody.
This is a thoroughly entertaining romp, but there's also a hard edge here. The author skewers a number of food fads and instances of bad science and propaganda in the field of diet and nutrition and even provides a list of resources for those interested in exploring the facts behind the nonsense spouted by the "studies", "reports", and "experts" quoted in the legacy media.

Nexus 7 (latest) 32GB 4G tablet for £120!!!! (potentially £90 with Quidco cashback) using link @ O2
*Please use Quidco for cashback, rather than TopCashBack. TCB showing a message where cashback "may" not be possible if Refresh contract is cancelled within 6 months. Quidco does NOT display such a message. So Quidco would be the safer option. http://www.quidco.com/o2-contract-tablets-mobile-broadband/*
Using a combination of the O2 refresh tariff and O2 priority moments offer, the tablet is available for £120.
The link takes you straight to the page where the O2 priority moments offer is included. Just select the 5GB tariff with no upfront payment. Once you've purchased the tablet and have had it delivered, give O2 a call and cancel the contract (make sure you don't use the airtime allowance!). You'd be asked to pay off the device contract which will be £5x24 = £120! The airtime contract will be cancelled automatically and you'll not be charged anything for this. Just make sure you call up and cancel as soon as you receive the tablet and that you do NOT use any of the airtime allowance. I have taken part in these refresh deals before and have never had to pay any airtime - only the device contract. IT IS LEGIT.
Cashback potentially also available from TopCashBack and Quidco. £31.50 with TCB and £30 from Quidco. Please see above for warning on which cashback website to use.
Quidco state cashback payment is made within 4 weeks, so worth a go if your cashback gets confirmed before you cancel the contract!

Make Money, Grow Rich And Attain Financial Freedom!Written by Dian Herdiana on 10:01 AM
by Manohar Chimmani
"Wealth is thoughts, not things." -Robert G. Allen
"Money is not important."
It's one of the biggest myths known to man. And it is one of the core reasons why the majority of the people are not wealthy... why the majority of people not attaining financial freedom.
Tell this myth to the family who's starving right now or to the family who needs money for some serious medical help for a member of their family. They will tell you how important money is. We have conditioned from day one to believe that money is not important. Wanting money is wrong and un-ethical. And yet, the entire world is running after money.
Money is purely a way to appraise the amount of value you create for others. If you have a lot of money, it means you have created a lot of value for other people. If you don't have the amount of money you would like to have, that simply means that you just haven't yet found a way to generate the amount of value for others that you are capable of, or the value that you would like to.
Lack of money also leads to many social problems. If we look at the countries, cities and particular places that are very poor, we'll find usually more crime, more people taking advantage of weak, more diseases, more suffering, more deaths and no education at all.
Of course, money is not the only important thing in life, but without it you just can't survive. That is the basic fact.
Money is pretty darned important especially in this pure materialistic age. To support your self and your family, to buy food, water, shelter, clothing, to pay medical bills, to socialize... you need money. With money only you could be able to support and help people around you, even your loved ones. All we know that these are all most important things.
Also, if you feel that it's more important to contribute to others or to serve a social cause than to be rich, well guess what, again you need to earn money, grow rich and attain financial freedom. If you earn more money you can contribute more, serve more.
Then how come this myth created... money is not important? Simply ridiculous. Don't you think so?

A man reported missing in Tennessee allegedly shot himself near the Lasker ice skating rink in Central Park Tuesday evening, police said.
The 30-year-old man was found with a gunshot to the chest around 8 p.m. on the sidewalk near 106th Street and East Drive, according to officials.
A passerby reported hearing a gunshot and flagged down a police officer who then located the injured man on the sidewalk outside of the park, cops said.
Authorities believe the victim walked out of the park after shooting himself and collapsed on the curb.
A semi-automatic firearm was recovered about 100 feet away from where he was found, near a stone bridge on the north side of the rink.
Officials said the man's family contacted Tennessee police, concerned for his mental state when he purchased a gun and later went missing.
The man was transported to St Luke's Roosevelt where he is in critical, but stable condition.

*** originally posted on Astoria Social Media: 15 June 2012 ***
This is my third post about Pinterest on Astoria Social Media.
The first asked, Hey, Astoria small business owners, do you think creating a Pinterest presence is worth your time and effort? The second suggested that it probably is, provided you pin smart and have a strategy.
This time, I'm going to stop asking and suggesting, and just show you someone who is not just present on Pinterest, but seriously kicking some Pinterest butt (if a person could be said to be doing that.)
WHO: Mackenzi Farquer, owner of SITE (35-11 34 Ave)
PINTEREST LOCATION: http://pinterest.com/mackenzi/
ON PINTEREST: "When people look at your boards, they get insights into your business."
"Wow. That's an impressive number of followers," you might be saying (or perhaps you just fainted). In fact, it is a large number—much higher than most local businesses have. But there's a caveat here: SITE is an online business as well as a bricks-and-mortar one; it makes sense for Mackenzi to spend more time on Pinterest than you might. She's reaching out to a broad, far-flung contingent of pinners who could conceivably become online customers.
She also has more boards than you might need, but some of them are used for "off-label" purposes. Some boards are for friends and family, for sharing party planning ideas for baby showers and wedding receptions. Others are for suggesting items for her interior design clients. (Sharing and viewing photos on Pinterest = MUCH easier than e-mailing photos.) Or she might pin an item to see what kind of interest it generates, and whether it might work well for SITE.
An important thing to remember when you're looking at Mackenzi's boards is this: The things you see are not all her "stuff." (In other words, the boards are not an online catalog of SITE items.) "You don't want to pin only your own items," says Mackenzi. "You want to connect with your community."
As with all social media, Mackenzi's theory on Pinterest is this: "If you're not doing it, you're doing it wrong." Take advantage of the fact that Pinterest is free and offers a glimpse into what you and your business are about in a completely different way than Twitter or even Facebook can. Start with just a few boards with themes related to your business, and remember, "The more you use it, the better you get."
TOP MACKENZI TIP TO PINNING YOUR OWN ITEMS: "When you're uploading your own photos to Pinterest, remember to give each photo you upload a name." "$10 Pantone Toothbrush Set" is more descriptive than "IMG_2135."
ASTORIA SOCIAL MEDIA notes:
Congratulations to Mackenzi on her most recent contribution to Retail Minded Magazine. The article, "What is Pinterest and How Does It Benefit Retailers?" is a great primer and hands-on how-to for beginners. Check it out (order info is in the photo caption, below) or get in touch with her directly to find out more about her Social Media consulting services: firstname.lastname@example.com; 718.626.6030.

National and State News-Tuesday, March 27th
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - A former kangaroo skinner who has been detained at the U-S camp for terror suspects in Cuba since 2002 could be back in his native Australia by the end of the year. David Hicks has pleaded guilty to helping al-Qaida fight the
United States. The U-S has agreed to let Hicks serve his sentence in Australia.
WASHINGTON (AP) - F-B-I Director Robert Mueller is to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee today on F-B-I abuse of the Patriot Act. The Justice Department's inspector general has outlined instances of illegal or improper gathering of telephone, e-mail and financial records of Americans and foreigners while pursuing terrorists.
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran says 15 British sailors and marines are in good health and being treated humanely. Iran says it detained the 15 on Friday because they had trespassed into Iranian territory. Britain disputes that and is demanding their release.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says peace in the Middle East is possible before President Bush leaves office. She says the Israeli and Palestinian leaders have agreed to meet every two weeks to discuss day to day issues, as well as the "political horizon."
UNDATED (AP) - The only female umpire in professional baseball is about to get a taste of the big leagues. Ria Cortesio will be on the bases Thursday for an exhibition game between Arizona and the Chicago Cubs. A woman ump hasn't called a big league exhibition game since 1989, and no woman has ever worked in the majors during the regular season.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The state Senate's Transportation Committee will hold a hearing today on Governor Ed Rendell's plan to impose a new gross profits tax on oil companies.
Rendell proposed the new tax last month as a way to raise more than 700 (m) million dollars annually to fund the state's mass transit agencies. Legislators have questioned whether it's possible to keep the companies from passing on the cost to motorists.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Governor Ed Rendell will release a report today with the findings from an evaluation of Pennsylvanias response to the Valentine's Day snow storm. Rendell says he also will propose changes to the state's emergency response system. Rendell's transportation chief, Allen Biehler, says the report will blame local officials as well as the state
Department of Transportation. The storm left a colossal traffic jam on Interstate 78. Hundreds
of motorists spent a frigid night in their vehicles, many without food or water.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Classes resume today at Community College of Philadelphia.
Employees had been on strike for nearly two weeks before negotiators worked out a deal on Sunday. About 14-hundred employees had been on strike, leading to classes being canceled for about 37-thousand students.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Republican lawmakers say they have reservations about imposing a new payroll tax to help expand state-subsidized health insurance. Governor Ed Rendell is calling for a payroll tax on an estimated 100-thousand-plus employers that do not currently insure their employees. The tax rate would be three percent for each of the first three years, then increase to three-and-a-half percent in the fourth year.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The top brass in the Philadelphia Police Department is taking on street duty. Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson says every officer from captain on up will work four hours, one night a week, in uniform in a high-crime area. Johnson says that includes himself, plus about 150 captains, inspectors, chief inspectors and deputy commissioners.
Johnson says it will give regular patrol officers more flexibility and increase police presence in those areas. He says the order starts Monday and will continue indefinitely. The city already has nearly a hundred homicides so far this year and March isn't over yet. The homicide clearance rate has dropped to 56 percent from 62 percent in January. A big problem is
witnesses who aren't willing to talk to police.
EASTON, Pa. (AP) - The widow of an Easton police officer who was fatally shot by another police officer has filed a 20 (m) million dollar lawsuit. Carin Sollman alleges that the death of her husband, officer Jesse Sollman, was a result of a lack of safety procedures and discipline in the police department. Sollman was killed in a hall outside a gun-cleaning room and armory after he and the officer who fired the shot, Matthew Renninger, returned from a training exercise.
Renninger was on paid leave for more than a year after the shooting, and then was allowed to retire. His attorney, Gary Asteak, says Renninger should not be named in the lawsuit.
A state grand jury said Sollman's death was an accident and recommended that no charges be filed against Renninger, but it did recommend firing him and criticized a lack of policies and
procedures in the department.
