Cuisine in the Black Sea region is an interesting mix of Mediterranean and Central European, where you'll get lighter fare such as grilled seafood and fresh vegetable dishes alongside more bracing soups and stews. Whatever you do, pay attention to the dairy products; the simple cheeses, yogurt, and sour cream of this region are unparalleled.
Over time the ancient Greeks, the Germanic Saxons, the Turks, and its Slavic and Magyar neighbors have influenced the kitchen in Romania. A traditional Romanian meal may include appetizers of assorted cheeses and cured meats and salamis along with vegetable pates, and then a sustaining soup. Favorites are meatball or tripe, and of course vegetable soup. Common fish are grilled, brined carp, Black Sea sturgeon and herring; meat can be grilled but is popular stewed with onions. Mixed sautéed vegetables or stuffed cabbage leaves balance out the diet, and then of course there's dessert. Pastries filled with sweetened curd or cream cheese and flavored with raisins, seeds or nuts are what your sweet tooth can happily anticipate.
Mealtime in Bulgaria is almost certainly going to includebrightly colored salads made with vegetables and pulses and one of many delectable soups – mushroom, chicken, fish, or a cooling cucumber yogurt potion in the summertime. Veal, pork and chicken are the most common meats consumed, alternately grilled, minced and spiced, or in rich stews and "one pot" meals with vegetables. Let's not forget the bread to mop up the rich flavors you wouldn't want to leave in the bowl or on the plate. Dairy products are ubiquitous, in snacks such as banitsa and in many desserts filled with creamy or curd cheeses. If you need a little sustenance so you can take in a few more sights, it's time for a piroshki, a little savory filled pastry, from a cart on the square.
Cuisine in Turkey is a mix between Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences with a dash of African and Russian and infinitely delicious. What Turkish cooks do with vegetables defies description, as a mezze (appetizer) selection will show you: tahini-laced hummus, smoky eggplant salad and hot, crispy cheese borek, for instance. You'll find a wide assortment of kebabs, sometimes best eaten standing up at a stall after a night out, and loads of fish and seafood along Turkey's long coast. Your most satisfying "comfort food" could be lentil soup brightened with lemon or manti, a tiny stuffed pasta served in yogurt sauce with acidic sumac sprinkled on top. Leave room for a sampling of fabulous little pastries in the afternoon: nuts, butter, filo dough, rose water and honey do a sugary dance of delight on your palate.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.
Who put the "Be" in Benelux? Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg!
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.

First Saturday at the Library
On October 23 the Alma Powell Branch had a very lively book discussion on the book Daddy's House by Azarel. The book group will meet again on November 20 to discuss The Prada Plan book 1 & 2. If you like Urban Fiction please join us at 6:00 on 11/20 at Powell. See you then.
How fortunate we are to have musicians of this caliber in our midst. Elden Kelly and Carolyn Koebel staged a remarkable show at Central Library on September 19th, the 69th show in the library's ongoing live concert series. Kelly is often labeled as a virtuoso guitarist and Caroline a percussionist extraordinaire, but there is simply no better way to describe them, and there is truthfully no easy way to put into words what they do. Their music crosses borders and bridges genres, both are absolute masters of their craft. Kelly sings and plays an array of exquisite instruments, including six and 12-string guitars, a Turkish cumbus, and an 11-string fretless guitar. And Carolyn's self-described "broad palette" of percussive instruments, ranging from tiny bells and tuning forks to the "giant drum," takes the art of percussion to a whole new level. Thanks to the generosity of both artists, you can relive their show in its entirety here, or purchase their recordings here and here. Please support these artists; how fortunate we are to have them both.
Last week we chatted virtually with an author for the first time in a Children's program at Kalamazoo Public Library! It was awesome! Sara Pennypacker, writes the Clementine books, in addition to many other wonderful books for young readers. She was gracious enough to talk with us virtually through the website Skype. Our new book club for 1-3 graders and their parents were the lucky group who got to speak with her and it was a highlight of my week and one of the coolest things I've done in a long time. We could all see Sara on the big screen from her home and she could see the group of 37 kids and their parents, eager to talk with her about Clementine and writing. To prepare for the visit, the group discussed which questions to ask Sara. Some of my favorites were "What's "Rutabega's" real name?" and "How did you come up with the idea for Clementine?" We asked a few questions as a group and then individual children spoke directly to Sara via the microphone and laptop. I think everyone who wanted to was able to ask a question and Sara gave thoughtful and sometimes hilarious answers. She told the kids that paying attention to all kinds of things in their life will give them great ideas for stories. She encouraged us all to really listen to the children in our lives and to give them the gift of our undivided attention on a regular basis. No question was too small or too often asked for Sara as she patiently chatted with us about life, writing, being a kid, and parenting. I think we all learned something different from her visit!
We hope to continue to meet with authors virtually at KPL programs! It's a great way to connect with authors and perhaps bring more to Kalamazoo than we otherwise could. The next chance to participate in a virtual author visit will be October 18,when Kazu Kibuishi, author of the very popular Amulet series "visits" the Van Deusen room!
Have you checked out KPL's Local Organization Directory lately? It lists more than 900 social service agencies, neighborhood associations, faith-based organizations and other groups which serve the Kalamazoo area. Annually-updated entries include contact information, services provided, the organization's goals or mission, nonprofit status, and more. It is free to list, and of course it's free to use!
How do we use the Local Organization Directory at the library? We refer patrons to local services, share contact info from organizations, create lists of places in town that offer certain services, and more.
To access the directory, click Local Information from the Popular section on our home page, and choose "Search Local Organizations." Do a keyword search, or search by Name, Subject or Nonprofit Status. Note that there are several underlined subjects in each record. Click on one of those subjects to view all the other records with the same subject and find more services in the area.
If you're affiliated with a nonprofit organization, check out the ONEplace @ KPL web page to learn more about resources for nonprofits available at KPL.
Finally, if your organization isn't included in the directory, but you would like it to appear, please email me.
If you missed the Art Hop circuit Friday please consider stopping at the Alma Powell Branch during our open hours and check out John Wijnberg's exhibit. It's one of our better exhibits if not our best.
John has provided us with some great portraits as well as some scenic ones. This exhibit will be showing until late September.
Through the generous support of the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society, the Oshtemo Branch Library of KPL is pleased to offer a telescope available for check out! The telescope, an Orion Star Blast 4.5" Astro, comes with a kit that includes all the tools you need to observe the skies, along with a simple instruction manual and star maps.
Members of the Kalamazoo Astronomical Society will be at the Oshtemo Library on Monday, July 16 at 3pm to talk with the public about the telescope, astronomy, and KAS. At 6pm they'll teach you how to use a variety of telescopes, including the library's Orion Star Blast. If you have an old telescope collecting dust, bring it in and they'll teach you how to use it! Then, on August 8, they'll host an observation session outside the Oshtemo Library.
Beginning Tuesday, July 17, the telescope may be checked out at the Oshtemo Branch Library for up to two weeks. You may place a hold on the telescope, but it can only be picked up at and returned to the Oshtemo Branch.
While anyone may attend the telescope workshop and observation session, please be aware that the telescope is available to Kalamazoo Public Library resident borrowers in good standing, who are at least 18 years old and have a valid license.
Staff from the Oshtemo library and KPL's IT department were joined by folks from the Oshtemo Township Park last week for a test run of our upcoming collaboration, Movies Under the Stars. We can't wait to screen the first film in our series, "The Muppets Take Manhattan", this Thursday, June 21 at the Oshtemo Township Park! Please join us for the movie at 9:15pm, and don't forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket, bug spray, and a flash light!
Yesterday marked the beginning of Choose Privacy Week, a national public awareness campaign, sponsored by the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, that seeks to educate the public on how to protect their privacy and understand their rights. Today's digital age offers access to a wealth of information and numerous platforms for communication, but some new tools and technologies make tracking the activities of individuals easier than ever. Some members of Congress want to use these tools and technologies, like Facebook and Google, to monitor online activity. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), passed in the House of Representatives on April 26, is a bill that aims to investigate cyber threats against the United States. The act would allow "elements of the intelligence community to share cyber threat intelligence with private-sector entities and utilities and to encourage the sharing of such intelligence." What is considered a cyber threat is up for debate. A recent case involving the Twitter comments of British tourists is a good example of potential problems.
In this video, Michael German, senior policy counsel for national security and privacy for the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office, talks about the government's utilization of data mining for surveillance purposes.
Please visit Privacy Revolution to learn more about what you can do to protect your privacy.
The Kalamazoo Public Library is committed to protecting your privacy. The library does not release or disclose your personal information or library records without your written consent, or a court order. Please refer to the library's policy on the disclosure of registration and circulation records for more detailed information. As always, you may contact a librarian to learn more about this issue.

Every Wednesday at the Oshtemo Branch Library we partner with Connie Koening, an experienced Registered Nurse and Coordinator of Bronson Family Centered Education, from Bronson Hospital. Under Connie's guidance, we host 2 programs – Toddler Talk on Wednesday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00 and Baby Talk from 1:30 to 3:30. Programs are designed to gather Moms, Dads, and interested adult caregivers and their children for good old fashioned play. Ms Koning facilitates discussions among the adults while the toddlers play with puppets, puzzles and look at books. Once a month, on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, I present a storytime planned especially for toddlers. I share stories, finger plays and action movements with the families.
Baby Talk meets weekly from 1:30 to 3:30 every Wednesday as well. We invite families with babies up to one year old to join Connie to network with other Moms and share the joys and trials of caring for a new baby. Again storytimes are offered on the third Wednesday of the month.
Come join us for some good old fashioned fun!
In honor of National Poetry Month, I created a few book spine poems in the Children's Room. My favorite one is pictured here. It reminds me of one of my favorite literary characters, Anne, of Anne of Green Gables, and her friend Diana walking through the Haunted Wood on the way home from school in Avonlea. It was great fun to look through the books I'm surrounded by every day and create new ideas out of the words on the spine.
I first learned about Book Spine Poetry from the blog of another librarian who works with children in Michigan. You can view a gallery of poems on his website here. What a creative way to celebrate poetry and have fun with books! Stop in and give it a try or try it at home and take a picture! Let me know what you come up with!
With the trend towards home grown, home-made and items of nostalgia, interest in quilting is gaining in popularity. Quilts can be functional, decorative and works of art. On March 24th the Oshtemo Branch Library featured the works of two quilters, Vicki Fischer of Stamford, Connecticut and Bette Boulding of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Seventy-five people were in attendance and they all enjoyed the program.
Vicki Fischer refers to herself as a story quilter. Her textile art quilts have been exhibited in galleries in Salt Lake City, Utah. She talked about what inspires her and the techniques used such as pin weaving. Inspiration for four of her quilts came from her experiences in Edo State Nigeria.
Bette Boulding, a former public school teacher is a utilitarian quilter. She shared with the enthusiastic audience an assortment of quilts such as tee shirts, recycled denim jeans, colorful African fabric prints and pictorial quilts. Her love and expertise in recycling items from dollies to men's suits and ties to create beautiful functional quilts was warmly received.
Before Spring officially arrives, I wanted to share a winter tradition which happens each December at the Oshtemo Branch Library.
During the month of December, volunteers from the Oshtemo Grange bring a Mitten Tree to the Library with the thought that our patrons will decorate the tree with donations of mittens, gloves, hats and scarves which they then donate to local schools. Just as in past years our mitten tree was loaded with items. This year alone Oshtemo patrons donated 59 hats; 26 scarves; 120 pairs of mittens, 16 hat and mitten sets plus other warm items for a total of 227 pieces! Oshtemo Branch Library patrons pride themselves on knitting for the tree throughout the year and their beautiful handiwork adds to the special beauty of the Mitten Tree.
This year a Daisy Troop visited the Oshtemo Branch Library for a tour and storytime. We of course had fun reading mitten stories and I shared two of my very favorite ones. Everyone should enjoy Knitty Kitty by David Elliott and The Missing Mitten Mystery by Steven Kellogg. The highlight of the visit was when each Daisy member decorated the Mitten Tree by adding their mitten donations.

What a wonderful tradition to carry on by the partnering with the Library and the Grange. We look forward to next December.
On a Tuesday evening in January the Alma Powell Branch had its first Urban Fiction book discussion. The group was totally geeked about Ashley and Jaquavis' book The Trophy Wife. It was generally agreed upon that it was a love story full of mystery and intrigue.
On March 27 we will be diving into our next book Gunz and Roses by Keisha Ervin.
Please join us at 6:00 for good discussion, fellowship and refreshments.
Welcome to February! I truly love this month, mostly because the harshest part of winter seems almost behind us, especially this year. I am always looking forward to Spring! For now though, I will focus on Valentine's Day, a bright spot during a long Michigan winter for many people. For years, Kalamazoo Public Library patrons have celebrated Valentine's Day by making cards for local nursing home residents. Once again, our craft tables are ready with stickers, stamps, doilies, and hearts. So come on out and help us make Valentines for our friends in nursing homes. Now through Feburary 9, during open hours at all branches. All ages welcome!
Believe it or not, this week we just passed another milestone - number 60 in KPL's series of free concerts! Seriously, where does the time go? The Mickeys, a Kalamazoo-based foursome fronted by twin sisters Amy Sherman and Julie Peebles put on a wonderful performance Wednesday evening in front of a large KPL crowd. The sisters' vocal harmonies are tight and focused, with superb instrumentation added by multi-instrumentalist Bascom Peebles and bassist Tom Rogers.
The Mickeys team took the audience (including Mom and Dad Mickey!) through a sixteen-song set, which included plenty of original material from their first two CDs (Finding Our Way and Walk Along), plus a sample from a soon to be released third. Great stuff! They included a cover of Tom Petty's "Wildflower," but their super-strong original material was definitely the highlight. Learn more about the Mickeys on their website and hear some samples of their recordings on Facebook and MySpace. Of course you'll also find their complete KPL performance linked on our Concert Archives page.

Going back a month, KPL capped off another amazing year of concerts with a December 14th appearance by award-winning singer/songwriter Shelagh Brown. Shelagh is quickly making a name for herself as an up-and-coming country star. She not only earned a Readers' Choice Award from the Kalamazoo Gazette in 2011, but won a nationwide contest to sing a duet with country star Josh Gracin on his latest release. Shelagh's set at KPL featured highlights of her own work, plus a timely version of "Let it Snow." Catch highlights of her KPL performance in our Concert Archives, and watch for more great things from Shelagh in the very near future.

Coming up next… be SURE to catch our February concert, featuring Jerome Holloway, he's an AMAZING vocalist and musician. If you like his contemporaries like say Ben Harper or Jack Johnson, you're going to love this concert. Jerome's voice is smooth as silk and his songwriting is superb. Visit his website and listen to a few samples (very generously, you can download more than a half-dozen complete songs!), you won't be disappointed!
Hope to see you there!
Reading a large stack of magazines is one of my favorite things to do when I'm relaxing. Something about perusing the short articles just fills me with inspiration. I love that my library gives me access to so many favorite magazines without a monthly commitment from me! I like to read a few things here and there when I have time. My favorite magazines are of the crafting, interior decorating, and cooking variety but most recently, I've been delving in to the world of children's and parenting magazines. We have a great selection of magazines in the KPL Children's Room. The collection includes magazines written for kids like Ladybug and Ask, as well as magazines written for families, like Hip Mama and Parenting.
My new favorite is Chop Chop. It's a family magazine filled with kid-friendly tips and articles for healthy cooking and eating. I love to cook and have already started sharing kitchen time with my young daughter. She is so interested in everything we are doing right now that it only makes sense to involve her in one of our favorite family activities. Chop Chop gives me simple and fresh ideas in each issue!

(limited time offer - order today & SAVE).
FastTrack 645FT Inflatable Kayak: Much larger than its sister, the 385FT, the Sea Eagle FastTrack 465FT Inflatable Kayak features a sharper, narrower bow for faster entry through wind, waves and water, and an elegant asymmetrical shape that is sharp where it should be and buoyant where it should be. This results in a better "glide" through the water, making it continue to go even after you stop paddling! This also makes the FastTrack faster, up to 3-5 mph and makes them easier and more pleasant to paddle for hours at a time. The FastTrack 465FT features a super rigid drop stitch floor that increases the overall rigidity of the kayak and creates side chines under the pontoons that enhance overall paddling performance. A patented drop stitch outside keel at the bow rides over waves, providing buoyancy and constrains the natural yaw of an inflatable kayak. A removable rear skeg keeps kayak headed on its intended course. It will go straight in whatever direction you want and it will hold a course no matter at what angle you are paddling in relation to the wind. This design is truly a breakthrough in the evolution of inflatable kayaks. The FastTrack 465FT Inflatable Kayak by Sea Eagle is capable of holding up to 3 people and plenty of gear, allowing you to explore with friends!
Tall Back Kayak Seats (3): The Tall Back Kayak Seat latches securely to the D-rings on your kayak. A built-in zipper pouch on the back of the seat can be used for additional storage. Made of thermal molded foam, the seat gives you a low sitting position for maximum stability in rough whitewater. It provides great back support with an 18 inch high back rest. ( Weighs 2 lbs., 14 inches x 18 inches x 14 inches).
AB40 4-Part Kayak Paddles (3): The asymmetrical spoon blade design of this paddle allows for smooth entries and an even pull, maximizing the power from your stroke. They require less gripping force, less effort per stroke. The AB40's are fiberglass reinforced and offer multiple feathering angles. Snap lock buttons allow you to disconnect the paddle into 4 parts. (Weighs 2.92 lbs).
A41 Large Bellows Pump: This high-capacity footpump is made of durable ABS plastic. The bellows design makes it quick and easy to pump up your boat by foot, and also packs down for easy travel. The A41 includes a triple-styled nozzle for use with Sea Eagle's deluxe one-way valves.
Carry Bag: This heavy-duty 440-denier nylon carry bag makes transporting your Sea Eagle easy. It includes a convenient shoulder strap and drawstring closure. Measures 26 inches by 48 inches.
Repair Kit: This essential repair kit includes two 4-in x 3-in white patches and two tubes of glue packed into a water-resistant shell.
FastTrack 465FT features:
I am very happy with the kayak. Our first adventure was a 3 person trip around San Diego Mission Bay. It is easy to inflate, handled really well, and packed up fast. I am definitely impressed.

Although I have yet to try this new model I am really impressed with the improvements that have been made to an inflatable kayak that I already thought was quite good. This has always been a great model and I imagine the changes in the performance are subtle but will be appreciated by those who paddle it. As before, this is a kayak that is best suited for flat water paddling such as on lakes and ocean bays. Although it can handle some whitewater, keep it in class II rivers or below. That means basically slow moving rivers only.

text: I was in attendance at the 2012 ASA Southwest Shootout in Paris TX, The course was awesome! (Extremely muddy though) I usually shoot my Bamboo Viper, but unfortunately the string was damaged and I didn't have a spare...I know, shame on me! The date of the tournament crept up on me, and I simply didn't get a string in time. So I took my spare longbow and headed out. Another unfortunate and unplanned error on my part was forgetting to grab my correctly spined arrows for my spare. The arrows I had didn't agree too well the spare longbow. I had horrible arrow flight..and shot 100 pts under my abilities. Lesson learned..anyway back to the point of the thread..why are there no Martin Pro Staff Traditional Shooters? There were Hoyt Pro Staff Traditional shooters in attendance, that's what spurred me to ask. If there actually are, I apologize for my ignorance. It just seemed odd, and is a simple observation. I will post up some pics when I get home of the event..

Just got an elite last night, so the gf and I have something cooperative to play. Tag is "ItsPiratePete" - I'm streaming breakfast club from netflix right now. SCORE! All I have in games are OSDT and Forza - I played my first Halo 3 match ever, won by 2 kills, and was called a faggot more times than I think I ever had been previously in one sitting. It was glorious. I don't really care for halo, it's slow and clunky compared to fps on the computer.
I'm trying to find some good 2 player games, preferably played at the same time, not taking turns. I decided on a 360 over a wii for the fact that the console features and over all library was superior and a better fit for what I like to play. I'm probably going to pick up some older titles like fable II (I heard 1 was kinda crappy) - Fate of resonance looks pretty sweet too. I might have to grab my a battlefield demo when I can. It's been a looooong time since I console gamed, gonna be an adjustment.

Mission seeds in China Grove grow in Honduras
CHINA GROVE — The language of motherhood is universal. And a mother's love stretches a long way — even from China Grove to Honduras.
In February, Anne Corriher, director of Main Street Mission in China Grove, and Sabrina Caudill, a member of First United Methodist Church, China Grove, were part of a mission group who traveled to Honduras. Eighteen people from China Grove traveled with Baptist Medical Dental Missions International.
Anne and Sabrina both knew Sara, a Honduras native who is a volunteer with Main Street Mission. The duo didn't make that connection, however, until they arrived in Honduras.
Sara had told her mother, Gloria, that Anne and Sabrina would be in Honduras. All Sara knew, however, is that the two would be staying at a hospital in Guaimaca. Sara's mother and son, Carlos, 14, whom she has not seen since coming to the United States four years ago, made a 14-hour trek from their home to meet these two women.
Sara had been sending clothing from Main Street Mission to Honduras, which her parents distributed at their Baptist church.
"Sometimes we get large quantities of donated clothing," Anne explains. "Sometimes we can use them and sometimes we can't. Sara asked if we could take the clothes we were sending to Goodwill and send to Honduras."
"Before I was volunteering here, I would get things at yard sales and send," Sara says through an interpreter. "Part of the money for shipping women raised in Honduras, and part of the money I gave."
She adds, "I like to help people, but I'm pretty limited in not knowing English. But I've always wanted to help in a place like this."
Anne says, "When Sara came to the mission the first time, she told me she was from Honduras. We instantly connected. I have been on many mission trips to Honduras. We became friends, and then she began volunteering."
Nancy Yates is the wife of the Rev. George Yates, First Methodist's pastor. She invited Anne and Sabrina along on the mission trip. Nancy had worked with the same medical mission group when she and her husband lived in Murphy.
"She planted that seed in China Grove," Anne notes.
When they arrived in Honduras, Anne and Sabrina realized that Sara was a mutual friend. Carmen Byars is Sara's ESL teacher and Carmen told Sabrina that Sara wanted her to meet her family.
Amazingly, Gloria and Carlos tracked down the women. They traveled 11 hours by bus from their home in Santa Barbara, and then three more hours by car with Gloria's brother. They arrived at the hospital at 9:30 one night. By then, Anne and Sabrina were getting ready for bed.
"We had just finished our worship service," Sabrina says. "One of the translators came in and said, 'Miss Sabrina, someone is asking for you.' I said, 'Is her name Gloria?' And she said, 'Yeah.' I just about fell in the floor. So I walked outside and there were Gloria and Carlos. I was so euphoric. I sent someone to get Anne. Sara didn't know we were together. I was in shock. They had a name and a hospital. We talked and took pictures."
"I took a video of her mom talking to her," Anne says. "Her mom just kept hugging me for all the clothes from the mission. She said, 'Thank you for being so sweet and kind to my daughter.'"
"I took a video of Carlos," Sabrina says. "He was crying. I was crying. I didn't understand what he was saying, but I understood it from the heart."
The four spent about an hour together, and then Gloria and Carlos left to begin their long trip back home.
Besides providing dental and medical assistance, the team staffed a pharmacy and led vacation bible school for the children. They delivered fresh water, beans and rice, and Bibles.
"We got to do something different every day," Anne says.
"We taught a soccer-loving nation how to play baseball," Sabrina adds. "None of our kids had ever played baseball."
Companies had donated a large amount of sports equipment to the team, Sabrina says, which they left with the children.
As soon as Anne and Sabrina arrived home, they arranged to meet with Sara one afternoon at Main Street Mission. They showed her all the pictures and videos of her family.
"Wow!" Sara says. "I had a lot of different types of emotions. I was happy. I also felt sad."
She turns to Anne and Sabrina and says, "Thank you. Thank you."
"They pay their money to help people they don't know. God will pay them back."
"We received so much more than we gave," Anne says.
The mission continues to collect clothes to send to Honduras, but with an emphasis on gently-used clothing.
Anne admits she felt "mortified" about the clothing that's been sent already.
"They were cast-offs," she says. "We now want to start collecting really good clothing. We're going to be more intentional about the donations we collect now."
Because of the mild climate in Honduras, the mission will be collecting summer clothes: T-shirts, jeans, shorts, lightweight jackets. Children's shoes are especially needed, especially closed-toe shoes and sneakers to be worn with school uniforms.
"There are a lot of people who don't have shoes," Sara says.

Jabari Parker on a potential move to two-and-done: 'I think that's ridiculous'
Apr 24, 2014, 2:23 PM EDT
Jabari Parker paid a visit to the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday morning, and his interview was fairly entertaining.
He made fun of Coach K's tan and he called out the Knicks on the lack of a supporting cast that Carmelo Anthony has.
Where things got interesting is when Patrick pressed him on his thoughts on the NBA's potential move to two-and-done and a 20 year old age limit.
"I think that's ridiculous," Parker said. "I think a lot of people can get enrolled in service for their country, but they don't want to give them an opportunity to provide for themselves and go apply for a job in the NBA. I think that's kind of ridiculous."
And while Parker made a point of saying that college isn't for everyone, he did say that having a one-and-done season was good for him, on and off the court.
"I needed a year in college," he said.

While parish-based Labor Schools have been largely replaced today by worker centers, labor priests are once again gaining numbers (100 at last count) who share their vision that to diminish workers is to rob them of their God-given vocation.
The Priest-Labor Initiative was founded in 2012 by Father Clete Kiley and held its third meeting last month in Atlanta, with two dozen priests in attendance. Kiley was pastor of a large immigrant parish in Chicago, worked on organizing drives at university food services and at O'Hare airport, and is now director for immigration policy for UNITE HERE, the hotel workers union.
Pope's Overhead Cover
Labor priests are doing at the parish level what Pope Francis is doing at his level. Immigration reform, income inequality, human trafficking, a living wage are some of the justice and peace issues on labor priests' agenda, with overhead cover from Francis.
The present-day labor priest is focused on the community as a core value, insisting that all members of the community receive an adequate share in the fruits of their labor. As he deals with those who labor and are heavily burdened by underemployment, no employment, low wages, no health care, wage theft, assault and abuse in the workplace, he can be a source of compassion, mercy, and counsel. To all he says, "Come, let us reason together how to make the workplace more humane."
Especially objectionable are imaginative, creative but harmful tactics that cheat the worker of a livelihood, health care, earned vacation time, and sick leave, and plunder pensions. At another level, the practice of pumping infusions of cash to legislators through lobbyists to fix the scales of justice for cheating, or shifting public services like hospitals, postal, prisons, and schools to for-profit contracts is even more troubling.
Labor priests believe there is a role for visible clergy supporting the religious, moral, and spiritual dimension of work, to advocate for oppressed workers, and to walk with them -- especially to witness when they return to work after an action. Clergy played this role after the fast-food strikes, escorting workers back to the workplace to fend off retaliation.
So priests continue to gather for the two-day Priest-Labor Initiative training events to develop a network and to invite priests to become closer with working-class men and women.
Actions the reader might take to help grow labor priests:
• Ask your priest to conduct a listening session for workers to tell their stories and discuss what to do about things they want to change, using parish facilities like parking, meeting rooms, and kitchen.
• Ask the priest to observe an organized worker action and be present, especially after, to witness events when workers go back in to work.
The bottom line for labor priests: This is not a special ministry. This is what we do as Catholic leaders.

Gaspar, Director Volume III, Number 8 Research and Development Nov – Dec 2002 Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections * 1624 West Adams * Phoenix, Arizona 85007 * 602-542-2053 SUPERINTENDENT RELEASE BOARD RESULTS 65.5% 34.5% 63.8% 36.2% 49.3% 50.7% 57.1% 42.9% 51.6% 48.4% 100.0% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Caucasian Hispanic African American Native American Mexican National Asian 2002 Not Denied Denied Lonn Lanza-Kaduce et al., Juvenile Transfer to Criminal Court Study: Final Report, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, 2002. Lanza-Kaduce et al., concluded that transferring youth to the adult criminal court was more likely to aggravate recidivism than to reduce it. They examined youth transferred to adult criminal court in 1995 and constructed a comparison group composed of similar offenders that were retained in the juvenile justice system. The comparison group was matched on age, gender, race and four different delinquency measures. Their analysis included 950 cases or 475 matched pairs. In addition they also interviewed juvenile and adult justice officials regarding their perceptions of the problems posed by inmates under 18 years old, and 144 incarcerated males between 17 and 20 regarding their views of the adult and juvenile courts. Transfered cases were more likely than cases retained in the juvenile system to result in felony recidivism after the age of 18, and when both cases in the matched pair had felony recidivism, the adult transfer cases tended to recidivate for more serious offenses. Correctional administrators interviewed acknowledged that inmates under 18 have special needs, that the transferred youth had difficulty adjusting to prison life, and they were more likely to join gangs and violate institutional rules. The youthful offenders interviewed by Lanza-Kaduce et al., described the juvenile court in more positive terms than the adult court and they characterized the latter as formal and hurried with little opportunity for them to be heard. ARIZONA JUVENILE JUSTICE TRIVIA What percentage of ADJC commitments are on probation at the time of their commitment? Page 2 of 2 "Transferred youth were especially critical and mistrustful of public defenders." The juvenile offenders interviewed characterized "low end" juvenile placements as ineffective in changing their delinquent attitudes while "deep end" juvenile sanctions were perceived to be more positive because of the nature of the programming and the longer lengths of stay. Adult probation was rarely seen as beneficial to the juvenile offenders interviewed. Meanwhile, " a majority of the judges and prosecutors thought that the transfer reforms did not increase public safety." Phillip Cook and John Laub, After the Epidemic: Recent Trends in Youth Violence in the United States, Crime and Justice A Review of Research, 2002. Cook and Laub note that American youth violence peaked in 1993 and has been followed by a rapid, sustained drop. The increase in violence was affected by an increase in homicides which the authors found to be particularly intense for African American juveniles under the age of eighteen. While the epidemic was narrowly confined with regard to age and race, it affected all regions of the country. Cook and Laub contend that the introduction of crack cocaine and the prevalence of hand guns provided major sources for deadly conflicts during this period. Observed increases in aggravated assault, however, were a reflection of changes in police reporting practices related to domestic violence cases. No consensus has developed to explain the drop in youth violence, and the downside has not been a mirror image of the upside. Indeed, the authors found the 1998 youth homicide rate to be substantially lower than it was in 1993, however, it was similar in composition with respect to sex, race/ethnicity, and weapon type. "Thus the high concentration among minorities and males, and the prevalence of guns, may be long-lasting hangover from the epidemic." Patricia Van Voorhis et al., The Impact of Offender and Programmatic Characteristics on the Effectiveness of a Cognitive Skills Program, paper presented at the 2002 annual meeting of the American Society of Criminology. Van Voorhis et al., present the results of a randomized controlled experimental design for adult offenders who participated in the Georgia Cognitive Skills Program to those that did not. The specific focus of this research was on responsivity, or the relationship between offender and program characteristics. The authors found that overall, recidivism rates were only slightly lower for experimental participants than for control group members. Van Voorhis et al., found that white parolees benefited from the Cognitive Skills Program more than the nonwhite parolees. Moreover, individuals in classes with greater than seven members were less likely to be rearrested or revoked than those from smaller classes. "The analyses suggests that the presence of clearly stated and enforced standards for classroom behavior and participants' responsibilities in treatment is particularly important in maximizing the benefits of the program for participants." Other characteristics of success included: demonstration of learned skills i.e., participants required to practice skills did better than those that were not required to practice the new skills; and detached coaches i.e., facilitators who did not allow themselves to become pulled into offender thinking or manipulation had offenders with lower recidivism rates than facilitators that allowed themselves to be manipulated. The Georgia Cognitive Skills Program seeks to modify offenders' impulsive, egocentric, illogical and rigid thinking patterns. The research was conducted between July 1998 and April 2000 and it involved 25 parole districts across Georgia. The sample included 963 parolees considered high-risk with IQ scores above 80, and without serious substance abuse problems. They were predominantly African American and their average age 32. ARIZONA JUVENILE JUSTICE TRIVIA ANSWER During fiscal year 2001, over three quarters (78.8%) were on some form of probation. Approximately one-quarter (25.2%) were on juvenile intensive probation and one half (53.6%) were on standard probation.
