Prison for punishment, or for "restoration"?
A third category of tasks should also be mentioned: tasks that prison wardens assigned to CJRs, mostly involving coordination of cultural and educational activities, for example activities aimed at drug addicts, etc. Here as well, Dubois observed a significant disparity in tasks assigned. Their common feature was that they helped the CJRs fit into the prison staff in a personal manner. But this did not mean that the function of the CJRs was made to fit into the prison routine any better.
What was the result of all this? While we may admire the effort of the CJRs to translate into practice a project based on a ministerial memorandum as obscure as it was ambitious, it is necessary to relativise the importance of the changes they were able to introduce intelligent prisons. In fact, the activities that they undertook or coordinated along with outside associations generally only met with tepid interest on the part of inmates. These inmates, in the words of a staff member, constituted a public that was "without form, without desire, without motivation, focused only on getting out". The scepticism that some administrators expressed with regard to the CJRs was shared by a number of wardens. Other specialists concerned with the prison system observed that the imprecise manner in which the ministerial memorandum had expressed itself rather led in the direction of a number of practices whose relationship with the notion of reparation was not immediately obvious. This lack of appropriateness was so great that certain CJRs were told that they were taking the risk of "doing everything and doing nothing" in a vain effort to solve the problems with which they were confronted. For these observers, the actual impact of the memorandum on the functioning of Belgian prisons was therefore negligible. This fairly severe criticism from criminologists confirms at any rate that the CJRs were not able to transform the Belgian penal system by themselves.
Mediation as an occupation
The CJRs carried out actions and set up activities which they tried to make relevant to restorative justice, in order to introduce into the prisons certain ideas that up to that time had not garnered any attention at all. Thus they carried out a labour of conception, coordination, information, sensitization, training and supervision through which they attempted to "popularise" the ideas of victim, restoration and mediation among inmates, prison staff, associations, victims, wardens, social workers, etc.
Even if the connection in certain activities appeared tenuous, the concept of restorative justice did allow certain actors (inmates, victims, staff, associations, etc.) to get to know each other. Whether the activities designed to facilitate such mediation were "restorative" or not, in any case they did fulfil a function: they brought actors and ideas into contact that probably would not have made any connection otherwise. One of the results of this process of mediation is that people talk more about victims. That may be a positive result of this experiment, which lasted almost 8 years.
For the rest, an outside observer, whether criminologist or journalist, would no doubt have some difficulty in approving the result of a project that Christophe Dubois has described as "vast, confused, ambitious and utopian". Two of these four adjectives insure a negative evaluation of the experiment as regards the political judgment that may be passed upon it. Less restricted by a normative standpoint, a sociologist with a commitment to scientific observation, description and a rigorous account of the experiment will prudently conclude that "the data collected do not permit us to conclude [that the experiment was a] success" in its attempt to make a culture of incarceration move toward a culture of reparation. Nonetheless some of the "new connections" that the work of the CJRs brought about between the various protagonists of the world of prisons may continue to exist.(1) Christophe Dubois, Innover à partir d'une ressource cognitive utopique. Le cas des consultants en justice réparatrice, in Performances publiques, novembre 2009, Larcier, pp. 103 à 117.

Anyone who knows me–really knows me–knows that the red blood that courses through my veins is actually tinged with liberal doses of white and blue.
It was just about this time of year 23 years ago that I was struck with a fast and unusual malaise.
I didn't think a lot about it. I was a mother of two, ages 5 and 7, and working two jobs so it was only natural I was always fatigued.
My maternal grandparents left a long legacy–seven children and 29 grandchildren.

NaPoWriMo Day #30
Poetry form: Free verse
People find it strange
that someone like me
who gets out of breath,
after two flights of stairs
considers the horse
to be her spirit animal.
Ironic though it may be,
isn't it natural
for the somatically lazy
to have a wild soul
that runs free?

Camp said he was surprised by how often the Justices interrupted those arguing, but not that the issue has reached this stage. Camp said today's rhetoric from the Justices revealed "where they are coming from," on the issue at hand: Whether the government can force its citizens to purchase a product, which in this case is health insurance.
"I think there were real reservations about the constitutionality of it from the get-go," Camp said. "I was very concerned the federal government could make a person buy a product or penalize them for not doing so."
According to an article from The Chicago Tribune, "Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.suggested the government might require Americans to buy cell phones to be ready for emergencies. And Justice Antonin Scalia asked if the government might require Americans to buy broccoli or automobiles."
Camp, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said adopting health care reform that provides incentives for people to purchase health insurance would have saved time and money.
"That is constitutional," Camp said. "Our approach to health care costs less."

You've got a lot of potential, but there are a few key things that really kept me from enjoying it. My biggest complaint is that you weren't direct enough. There were a lot of 'ums' and 'ers' and dead space, moments where it felt like you weren't really just going for it or times when you were just too shy. Be direct man, really throw yourself out there.
I liked how you went into detail about the history of the game and what was going in terms of it's hype and how it was recieved. The humor fell short, sure it was funny that he kicked the dog but what really drew my attention was what you did with the actual comment of the material. Remember, it's your evaluation of the material that people are being drawn to, don't throw that away for the joke.
Rehearse more with your material, try to give it an edge and be real direct with your approach. Stick to the source material, and try not to have too much dead space.
Keep it up, and thanks for taking me back to a game that I too felt was under rated.

The DexCom sensors are only FDA approved for 7 days, I routinely get 10-14 days of good use. My all-time record is 21 days! If the sensor is still working properly at the end of your first 7 days, instead of taking it out and inserting a new one, just select "stop sensor" on your receiver, wait a few minutes and then select "start sensor" on the receiver like you normally would. The receiver doesn't know that you haven't inserted a new sensor. It will just assume you did and your 2 hour calibration window begins. It's fun to outsmart the robots once in a while and save some money in the process.
In addition to that tip, here are the steps I take when I insert a sensor.
1. Gather your supplies:
|Alcohol wipe, sensor, Skin-tac wipe, receiver, transmitter.
3. After the alcohol has dried, take the Skin-tac wipe and wipe it in a circle motion on the area you plan to insert the sensor. Make sure to leave a blank space in the middle of the circle for where the insertion needle will stick in (like a donut with a hole in the middle). You don't want the needle/wire to have to pierce through the sticky residue of the Skin-tac.
4. While the Skin-tac is drying, bend back the adhesive (it always peels in transit), peel off the stickers and place it on the skin. Smooth out the adhesive so it is against your skin. Remove the plastic handle thingy so the plunger will work.
5. Tell yourself that it won't hurt and push the plunger in. You will hear two clicks. Once the plunger is in, pull back on the round disc thing. You will hear another two clicks. This indicates that the wire has been inserted and the needle has been extracted.
6. Use the pincher things on the side of the sensor to release the plunger handle.
7. Snap in the transmitter and press "start sensor" on the receiver.
8. Take the same Skin-tac wipe and wipe it along the edges of the adhesive to really "glue" it down to your skin. This stuff is super sticky, but since I've used Skin-tac I've never had a sensor fall off. In fact, I have to use another product called Uni-Solve to get the sensor un-glued from my body.
|Finished Product: My skin is as white as the tape.
Skin-tac is basically the equivalent of cementing something to your skin, so removing the sensor can be a bit painful. Ever since I started using Uni-Solve I no longer get a bright, red circle rash where I was wearing the sensor. I think I was ripping off the top layer of skin along with the sensor tape, but the Uni-Solve makes the sensor practically fall right off. Goodbye rash and adhesive residue!
*I'm sure Skin-tac and Uni-Solve are sold in a variety of places, but I purchase it on Amazon in boxes of 50.

Things did not start off well tonight for the Celtics. Mike Conley and the Grizzlies had their way with Boston early, torching the C's for 22 points in the paint and 13 fastbreak points in the 1st quarter. Memphis made it very clear that they were going to push the tempo & be very aggressive. Conley went 5 for 6 & had 10 points in the quarter. Boston looked like perhaps they had an early dose of tryptophan and were down 27-13 after 1Q.
The 2nd quarter was a bit better. After Brad Stevens layed into the boys, (CSNNE said Stevens was "as mad as we've seen him") they tightened things up a bit. Behind the defense of Humphries, Sullinger & Bass, Boston held the Grizz to just 2 points in the paint in the quarter. Avery Bradley started to get it going too-AB had 7 points in the quarter to help Boston score 23 pts for the frame. But unfortunately Memphis got a balanced attack from both their starters & bench and went into the half up 49-36 on the C's.
The 3rd quarter was pretty much just Boston treading water. Everytime the C's would get the lead down to 9 or so, the Grizz would push it back to double-digits. The Celtics just could not bail the water out of the boat fast enough. Jerryd Bayless, who is quickly gaining a reputation as a Celtic killer (ugh) had his way with Boston again, putting up 13 points through 3 quarters. The C's couldn't get any real rhythm going on offense and went into the final quarter down 69-59.
Boston played their best basketball of the night in the 4th, but it was too little too late. The C's just never recovered from Memphis' onslaught in the 1st quarter. The Grizz were simply the more aggressive & more focused team tonight. C's also failed to move the ball effectively, having just 14 assists on 38 made baskets. Jared Sullinger put Boston on his back, scoring 17 of his 23 points in the final quarter, but it wasn't enough. Memphis wins 100-93. Jerryd Bayless led Memphis with 22 points.
Injury note: Courtney Lee left the game in the second half with what the Celtics are calling a "left knee sprain". X-rays were negative.
The Green:
- Sully had a ridiculous 17-point 4th quarter where he went 7 of 10 & also grabbed 6 rebounds. He finished with 23 points.
- I was also impressed with Kris Humphries tonight. He came into the game & quickly helped put a stop to Memphis' party in the paint with some solid defense. It won't show in the stat sheet, (8 pts 6 rebs) but I liked what he brought to the table.
- Jeff Green was aggressive, getting to the free-throw line & putting in 26 points.
- Bass was a beast. Brandon grabbed 13 rebounds and had 4 blocks to go with 6 pts.
- Boston's bigs held Zach Randolph & Kosta Koufos to 8 of 27 shooting
The Gross:
- Boston was 7 of 20 from downtown tonight
- Celtics literally let Memphis walk all over them early on. Grizz scored 22 of their 27 1st Q points in the painted area
- Celtics turned the ball over 15 times
The Greenlights:
The Grid: (quick stats)
- Celtics actually ended up outscoring Grizz in paint: 48-40
- Memphis took a 4-3 lead with 9:00 left in the 1st & never trailed again

On this day in 1822 Civil War general and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant was born. Were there indications in his early life what Grant would achieve as an adult? Read more and consider the question for yourself.
The life of a young boy is seldom indicative of the story to come in adulthood. Such is the case with Ulysses S. Grant. However, perhaps the coincidences of his ancestry were a sign of what was to come. Grant's father Jesse became an orphan in 1805 and went to live with the Tod family. One of the Tod sons, David would later become a war-time governor of Ohio. When he struck out on his own, Jesse Grant moved to Maysville, Kentucky to learn the trade of leather making from a friend. Once trained, he returned to Ohio and went to work for and live with Owen Brown and his family in Deerfield. While there, Jesse came to know one of Owen's young sons, John who would go on to great fame at Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
Born in Point Pleasant, Ohio on April 27, 1822, Grant's given name was Hiram Ulysses. A later misunderstanding at West Point led to the more known, Ulysses S. The family moved to Georgetown in Brown County before he was two years old. His father Jesse was a successful tanner, leather always in great demand for daily life in the 19th century. Young Ulysses did not care for the business, in fact stating in his memoirs that he, "detested the trade, preferring almost any other labor." And, if that labor included horses, Ulysses was all the happier. As young as seven, Grant would drive the wood wagon back and forth from forest to home. By eleven he was in charge of all the horses in the family, tilling fields, harvesting crops and whatever work would keep him away from the tannery. When not in the fields, Grant was at school through the winters. His father insisted his children receive an education, something he did not have the opportunity to acquire in his youth. In the winter of 1838-39, Grant attended school in the nearby town of Ripley, home to Reverend John Rankin, a renowned abolitionist and conductor on the Underground Railroad.
One of Grant's boyhood friends was Bartlett Bailey who lived just up the street from the Grant's in Georgetown. Bartlett had received an appointment to West Point in 1937, but by December of 1838, the young Bailey had left the Academy, leaving a spot open from Ohio. Jesse heard of the opportunity and lobbied for his son to receive the appointment. Word came in late December that Ulysses had been appointed to fill the slot. Upon hearing from his father of the appointment, Grant informed him that he would not go. Jesse asserted some fatherly authority and Grant relented. He didn't really oppose going, but was not confident in his ability to graduate from the prestigious institution, the fear of failure weighing more than the opportunity. Arriving at West Point on May 29, 1839, Grant would commence a military career that would ultimately conclude with worldwide fame and the rank of Lieutenant General. Not bad for a boy who couldn't stand the sight of blood at the tannery or the thought of studying at the nation's Army college.

On the front page, THE BLAZE's Jon Seidl pulled the one newsworthy line from President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night:
We've already announced over 500 reforms, and just a fraction of them will save business and citizens more than $10 billion over the next five years. We got rid of one rule from 40 years ago that could have forced some dairy farmers to spend $10,000 a year proving that they could contain a spill — because milk was somehow classified as an oil. With a rule like that, I guess it was worth crying over spilled milk.
Then Seidl asked readers if "you think the joke was funny?"
Obviously the answer is no. But "New York" magazine's Daily Intel fought hard to defend the bomb for what it was worth. "[I]t's a self-deprecating thing to do," they wrote. "Because it's endearing. Because it humanizes you. Because you'll remind people of their unfunny dad, who intentionally tells bad jokes for all of the same reasons."
Nope. Sorry. No matter which way you cut it, the joke wasn't funny. And Obama is actually a funny guy (don't say he's not). He gave a side-splitting performance at 2011′s White House Correspondents' Dinner.
There was no defense for it. Hey, you win some, you lose some and Obama's 'spilled milk' joke was definitely a loss.

A Guide to Identification of Bankfull Stage in the Northeastern U.S.
View this training video online
Consistent identification of bankfull stage is essential for stream evaluations, stream restoration, fish habitat assessments, and stream-related design and construction. To help with this critical task, the Stream System Technology Center has issued new training material presented in a series of learning modules on four CD-ROM disks. The Guide to Identification of Bankfull Stage in the Northeastern United States is available from the Rocky Mountain Research Station as General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-133-CD.
The 4-disc NE Bankfull Training CDs are now available from the Stream Systems Technology Center.

A Guide for Field Identification of
Bankfull Stage in the Western United States
View this video online
Bankfull discharge is important because the bankfull stage is the level at which water begins to flow over the floodplain. When water flows over the floodplain, then it is by definition a flood. Bankfull discharge is also important because of its role in forming the physical dimensions of the channel. Flows near bankfull stage move the most sediment over the long-term and the processes of sediment transport and deposition are most active in forming the channel.
Bankfull stage is often difficult to identify in the field. This video discusses key steps and demonstrates techniques that can be used to consistently identify bankfull levels for a variety of different streams and rivers in the western United States.

One of the ancillary great things about the NCAA tournament is that it throws random teams into randoms cities... like Birmingham. As soon as I found out what teams would be invading the BJCC, I scanned the rosters for familiar names. And I found one. Well, sort of a familiar name.
You guys remember Avery Jukes? A forward from South Gwinnett (Ga.) High, he signed with Alabama, played a semester for the Crimson Tide, then abruptly left in mid-January. Turns out, he drove to Indianapolis and enrolled at Butler, which is playing right now. Yesterday, I dropped by the Bulldogs' locker room, introduced myself to Jukes and started talking.
I wanted to know not only how he's doing, but also why he left? People have all sorts of reasons to transfer, and coach Mark Gottfried said at the time it was because "his playing time and opportunity for playing time in the future is much greater for him" at Butler.
In fact, that was reason enough for him to leave midseason.
"(Gottfried) said that my size was a problem," said Jukes, a 6-foot-8, 215-pounder. "And obviously, I'm as big as I'm going to be. I might gain a little bit more weight, but probably not a lot. I figured if it was a problem in the middle of the season, it was going to be a problem at the end of the season and next season. Might as well move."
Jukes played in a total of seven minutes for UA, collecting three rebounds and no points. After sitting out 12 months, Jukes became eligible after the first semester this year. For Butler, his playing time hasn't increased much. He averages 2.1 points and 0.7 rebounds in 4.9 minutes. He did, however, score nine points in this game.
Anyway, he said the move has paid off.
"Our team is doing really well, that's all I can ask for," Jukes said. "We had a great season, we're in the NCAA tournament, you can't ask for much more."
Jukes is still close with UA forward Richard Hendrix and others. He said he watched Alabama this year whenever the team was on TV. When the Tide played in the SEC tournament, he was rooting for UA... but not real hard. He had his own team to worry about, after all.
As for Alabama's struggles this season, he said, "It really didn't bother me, but I wasn't happy about it. During the end of the SEC tournament, they were doing pretty well and I wanted them to win, of course. But I didn't really mind if they lost. It wasn't like, 'Oh man they lost.' "
One thing Jukes was clear about was that the atmosphere is different in Indiana, where people loooove basketball. In Alabama? It's not the same.
"There is a big huge difference as far as basketball, because in Indiana, basketball is pretty much king," Jukes said. "In the south, football is pretty much king. We had good fans at Alabama. But I think the main difference between Butler and Alabama is probably the amount of fans that are for basketball. It's different than the amount of fans that are for basketball at Alabama."
Well, there you go... An Avery Jukes update.

SVFC HAS to start IND's this year in order to capture a slice of the pie. Cytori and Kool both have their focus. Good points of intellicell is that their method produces a myriad of autologous cells that help to form a construct like matrix, and the other advantage is the low cost and efficiency.
IMO company is worth at least 0.20 by years end, if they can A) Get a international patent, B) form partnerships that will help pay the IND cost, or C) Merge or get bought out.

Negation --
Simple Statements
Topic Index |
Geometry Index |
Regents Exam Prep Center
logic, a negation of a simple statement
(one logical value) can usually be
formed by placing the word "not"
into the original statement. The negation will always have
the opposite truth value of the original statement.
Under negation, what was TRUE, will become FALSE -
or - what was FALSE, will become TRUE.
of simple negations:
* Notice that
there are different ways of inserting the concept of
"not" into a statement. While
we would not usually speak in a manner similar to the last
statement, we must be alert to people who attempt to win
arguments by using several negations at the same time to
cause confusion.
Notice how using TWO negations, returns the truth value of the
statement to its original value. In plain English, this
means that two negations will "undo" one another (or
cancel out one another).
even though the first negation shows the proper insertion of the
word "not", the second negation can be more easily read
and understood.
Mathematicians often
use symbols and tables to represent concepts in logic. The use of
these variables, symbols and tables creates a shorthand method for
discussing logical sentences.
table for negation (not):
(notice the
symbol used for "not" in the table below)

outcomes of the truth value of a sentence. A letter such
is used to represent the sentence or statement.

When you stop by the grocery store on the way home from work, the items you pick up are not subject to sales tax. Unless, that is, you've grabbed something that was prepared - a deli sandwich, for example. That would be subject to taxes.
In our state, clothes and shoes are not taxed. Except, that is, those that cost more than $175 for a single item. On such purchases you get hit with the 5 percent sales tax on the amount in excess of $175.
Complex enough? And that's just a taste.
Across the nation, there are thousands upon thousands of sales and use tax jurisdictions. And an incalculable number of exemptions.
Imagine someone with a great big good idea and a little bit of money who decides to start an online operation selling her products to the public across the land. Should she be expected to keep track of each tax jurisdiction, every exemption, applying them correctly when the online orders start to come in from far flung cities and towns in states across the land?
It simply couldn't be done. The great idea would go by the boards because of foolish tax policy.
The U.S. Supreme Court based its 1992 decision that established the rules on taxation of products delivered to another state in large part on this very complex situation. They were ruling on a mail-order case at the time, but the same thinking applies in the Internet age.
When someone from out of state orders from an operation that has no physical presence - a store or warehouse, say - in the home state of the buyer, no tax is charged.
Congress is now thinking of changing that rule. It ought to think again.
Federal lawmakers have had the thought before, but each time they've come to their senses and just kicked the taxation can down the road, leaving the current regulations in place.
They were right then, and they should do the same thing now. Anything else would needlessly nip entrepreneurship in the bud.

« Are Americans paying too much for health care? | Main | Zero sum or net gain »

Helping the poor
Finding ways to help those with less income and fewer economic opportunities is always an important issue. N.C. State University economist Mike Walden discusses the fundamental differences in two potential approaches: increasing the minimum wage versus raising the earned income tax credit.
"Well, of course, increasing the minimum wage would help those low-income workers who are, indeed, earning not much income. It's a way that obviously forces the employer to pay those low-income workers more," says Dr. Walden, a North Carolina Cooperative Extension economist. "Now a big potential downside is, What if the employer says, 'Alright,' to that worker, 'You are now not worth the higher wage I'm forced to pay you, and I'm going to lay you off.'? And in fact studies show this can happen in a significant percentage of the cases. So that's one issue with raising the minimum wage.
"Now the other approach, or one of the other competing approaches, is something ... called the earned income tax credit. This is a government program that doesn't require employers to pay low-income workers more. They continue to receive whatever wage they are receiving, but the government, in essence, supplements the earnings of those workers," he adds. "So the costs are now put in the hands of the government -- that is, the taxpayer.
"But this program avoids the potential problems with the minimum wage that if, again, the worker is judged not to be worth that higher wage, the employer will let them go.
"So these are really two competing approaches," he concludes. "Both have advantages and disadvantages, but I think they are worthy of discussion in this issue of how to help the working poor."

Firefighters from 12 departments battled the blaze in the building that housed the teen center, now being torn down in Tiffin.
TIFFIN - Construction crews used bulldozers yesterday to begin tearing down what was left of a fire-damaged three-story downtown building that once housed a popular teen center.
Officials have determined that the Jan. 9 fire started in the kitchen area of the teen center, which was on the building's first floor. But the cause of the fire is unknown.
"We haven't found any signs of arson, but we haven't worked out exactly what caused the blaze yet," fire Chief William Ennis said. "We anticipate that we won't know for quite a while. The insurance company has to test the appliance that was retrieved from the wreckage."
The Seneca County-owned building erupted in flames about noon. Firefighters from 12 departments battled the blaze through the evening. Although the structure was a loss, firefighters were able to save the neighboring buildings.
Neighboring businesses sustained only serious smoke and water damage. But the teen center, which had been at that site for about five years, must start all over, board member Lee Martin said.
Mr. Martin said the seven-member board of directors has met several times since the fire to discuss alternative locations to continue operations. The board hopes to make a decision tomorrow.
"The problem is to find enough space downtown to hold the center," he said. "All these kids really need is a place to come in out of the weather and a boom box to listen to music."
The center offered teens from the local middle school and junior high a place to go after school. There, computers, video games, pool tables, Ping Pong tables, and a stereo kept teens busy.
All the equipment, mostly donated, was lost in the fire, but Mr. Martin hopes that public generosity will continue.
"I'd say about 95 percent of our stuff was donated," he said. "But the fire was a real disaster; we lost everything."

Elli Lindsey told her mother when she was six years old that she wanted to do dressage. The horseman, who is based at Saddlebrook Farm in Thomson, Ga., is living her dream this weekend at the Softwinds Farm Dressage Show at Highfields Event Center, Lindsey and Conner, an American-Warmblood cross, did first level 1 and first level 3 tests on Saturday.
"I started off doing hunter/jumpers when I was seven years old," said Lindsey, who evented for six years before making the transition to dressage. Lindsey's trainer is Renee Segree. "It was just sort of the barn I fell into. I started doing hunter/jumper shows, to get into the world of showing, and then we started eventing because that's what she did. Renee's great."
A lot of work goes into making a dressage horse, and there are a number of variables in the equation when the horse and rider form their bond, said Lindsey.
"You definitely have to put your heart and soul into your horse," said Lindsey. "You try to take them up the levels. It could be a personal horse or a training horse. Dressage is the foundation of everything. So, no matter what discipline you're involved in, dressage will help you improve your riding."
The horseman got her first horse when she was seven years old, and had been riding a schooling horse prior to that.
It takes time and effort to produce a good dressage horse, and having the right trainer to assist in the process is critical, said the horseman.
"You can't do it alone," said Lindsey. "It takes a whole team. I personally have never trained or ridden a horse at the upper levels, but I can tell you, it takes a lot to get there."
The dressage tests for eventing and dressage are different, but the judges are looking for the same thing, she said.
"There's a much higher tolerance for eventing dressage because you're asking the horse to perform in three different phases," said Lindsey. "The eventing horses can't be really great at dressage, have the big muscles and the built top line because thay have to be able to gallop cross country and swing over some huge fences. It's not as good of a quality as straight dressage, but there's a reason for it."
Conner is a 7-year-old, Percheron-Thoroughbred cross, that had previously been in Hawaii, purchased and relocated to Georgia, with the intention of being used as an eventing horse. However, things didn't work out with his previous owner, and Lindsey began riding Conner.
"He's actually one of my horses that I'm helping to train," said Lindsey. "He's fantastic. I love him to death."

No more Silent Nights.
That was my first thought when I heard that after 79 years the venerable (a word used too often, but in this case, just right) Student Prince Café and Fort Dining Room (but always called just "the Fort") in downtown Springfield would close at the end of the month.
Each year for as long as I could remember, in the weeks before Christmas owner Rudi Scherff would dim the lights in the crowded dining room, and accompanied by a band of a capella singers would lead the assembled in a selection of Christmas carols, capped by "Silent Night" which Rudi would recite and the audience echo.
Now there probably isn't a person of any faith who didn't know the words to Silent Night, but in a way that was the point. For that moment, regardless of faith or upbringing the crowd joined in a universal marking of the season and a simple plea for peace.
Heavenly peace.
The Fort was like that; not so much a restaurant as a gathering place; a watering hole to see and be seen, to be greeted personally by Rudi himself who always promised he would "find you" a table in the packed dining room or in the more cozy confines of the bar surrounded by hundreds of beer steins gathered from a lifetime of collecting.
Even more than the mythical Cheers where "everyone knew your name" the Fort was a place where everyone knew someone who knew your name.
It took me a while to warm up to the Fort when I first discovered it four decades ago. I was new to Springfield and to German food with its many varieties of sausage all carrying some version of the name "wurst." I was not exactly sure what a schnitzel was and red cabbage was known to give me gas.
Over in the bar the vast array of beers was intimidating as if daring me to choose the wrong one and the close-knit Rathskeller atmosphere of the place made me a tad nervous, as if I had stepped into a scene from Casablanca in which half the audience might at any moment defiantly break into the Marseillaise.
Rudi's father, Rupprecht, who carried himself with a baronial air and a watchful eye (there was persistent rumor that you couldn't get a table setting, a pat of butter or a cloth napkin unless you were ordering a full meal) nevertheless made you feel welcome as he informed you of that night's specials, along with the old standbys of fried cheese, butterfly shrimps and scallops wrapped in bacon.
Once seated, it was nearly impossible to enjoy an uninterrupted meal without someone dropping by your table trading a bit of gossip wrapped in a heartfelt hello, and all eyes fixed on the plate glass front door wondering who might walk in next.
In fact, an acquaintance of some political renown insisted on reserving the table against the back wall just so he could always see who was coming at him.
The waiters and waitresses, many of whom has been there for many years, prided themselves on knowing their clientele personally, often arriving with a plate of fried cheese (always served with mustard) and a favorite beer even before it had been ordered.
Dinner was generally served with a salad and the optional Roquefort dressing which cost extra, but which could be substantially discounted by simply ordering one "on the side" which after being mixed at the table would easily provide enough to dress four salads.
The menu often followed the calendar from Octoberfest, through the May wine festival. Christmas and New Year's were marked by the Fort's eggnog and Chauvinette, the latter a house special deceptive concoction that tasted like a milk shake but could send the unwary imbiber stumbling out the door.
Hunting season provided "game night" which had nothing to do with Scrabble. Spring would be heralded by the arrival of smelts (an acquired taste) and fiddleheads (which sounded like a fish, but which tasted more like a sort of nutty asparagus.)
Desserts included Indian pudding and a cobbler or apple pie always served a la mode. But the smart money was always on the strudel.
Still, the food was never the main dish at the Fort. One frequent guest called the fare "comfort food," but what she meant was that she always comfortable when she ate there.
Policeman, politician, publisher, doctor, lawyer, businessman, and celebrity all at one time or another went out of their way to go to the Fort. Long after Springfield offered much of a reason to go downtown, the Fort -- Springfield's town square -- was that reason.
Now that square is going dark. Perhaps by next Christmas new owners will once again light the Christmas tree, lead carols and greet customers by their first name.
But if not, those long winter nights before Christmas will be silent indeed.

ASTRA 1K satellite stabilised27 Nov 2002
Following the failure of the Proton launch vehicle to place ASTRA 1K, the fourteenth satellite in the ASTRA series, into the correct orbit on November 26th, 2002, the technical teams of SES ASTRA, Alcatel Space, CNES and NORAD have succeeded in stabilising the spacecraft in a circular orbit at an altitude of 290 km, where it can be safely sustained to allow the engineering teams to assess the status of the satellite and appropriate actions in due course. For further information please contact:
Yves Feltes
Press Relations Manager
Tel +352 710 725 311
Notes to Editors
ASTRA 1K was built by Alcatel Space of France, with Proton launch services from the Cosmodrome of Baikonur (Kazakhstan) provided by ILS (International Launch Services), a US-Russian joint venture. The spacecraft was intended to operate at ASTRA's orbital position of 19.2° East.
SES ASTRA has full insurance coverage for the ASTRA 1K programme and the launch failure will not affect existing services at 19.2° East. Furthermore, ASTRA 2C, already operational at 19.2° East, offers comprehensive back-up for the ASTRA low-bands at this slot and will remain there until further notice.
Interactive Ka-Band services will continue to be provided by the existing Ka-band payload on ASTRA 1H.
With an existing available surplus capacity of roughly 20% of the 13 satellite strong ASTRA fleet in orbit, SES ASTRA, over the coming months, will reassess its future needs and make investment decisions on ASTRA 1K replacement capacity accordingl

There is a saying, that if you want to learn of love then find yourself in love and if you want to learn of the lonely then find yourself in the forest. By this standard, if someone wants to learn of Christmas I would suggest they go to San Cristobal de las Casas. San Cristobal is the cultural, if not literal, capital of Chiapas set in the beautiful eastern highlands of Mexico. The communities in and around San Cristobal are some of the strongest and most fiercely independent indigenous people in the world whose cultural and religious beliefs have survived and evolved into the rich form that it is today. Ancient Mayan traditions have fused with Catholic beliefs, which makes Christmas in San Cristobal a truly unique experience.
The name of the game in San Cristobal is churches, where you are likely to see and hear much more than you may expect from the Catholicism you are used to. I'm surely not alone when I say that visiting Catholic churches can be a somewhat drab affair. The high vaulted roofs, the immovable idles lurking on the perimeter, the melodic chanting of the priests or monks, and the generalized photophobia does not contribute to an especially lively atmosphere inside most churches. The first thing you will notice about the churches in San Cristobal is the light and the color. Whites, blues, and other bright colors illuminate an interior with windows large and transparent enough to serve their function. The second thing you will notice are the sounds. Certainly there are the deep and sonorous tones of the Catholic priestdom, but then a mariachi band tunes in or cheerful singing breaks out and your perception of Catholic churches is suddenly thrown into disarray. While visiting churches on Christmas Eve we saw such episodes of lively music and community in dozens of beautiful churches as well as in the streets.
San Cristobal and Chiapas are in the habit of throwing more than just Catholic perceptions into disarray. Religious traditions have given rise to a type of Catholicism that is rebellious, independent, devout, and at times revolutionary. It was liberation theology espoused by the more rebellious catholic diocese of Chiapas that contributed to the popular Zapatista revolt of the 1990's. One may recall the images that characterized the movement: black masked and rifle toting men and women often times on horseback. Their revolt still has resonance today and at the time of writing this article tens of thousands of masked activists were marching in protest in many parts of Mexico.
The type of religion practiced by the Chiapas devout could be very loosely described as a mix of Mayan and Catholic beliefs. Yet it would be more accurate to say it is it's own completely unique religion. The Santo Domingo Church and convent on the north side of town is likely San Cristobal's most beautiful church. With it's baroque and richly filigreed facade and expansive gilding on the interior, it appears very much to be in the Catholic tradition. However, while visiting this church on Christmas Eve there were again examples of the unorthodox. While admiring the church I heard sounds of chanting and was drawn towards one of the transepts, where I discovered a Chamane, a medicine man or woman, in the middle of a blessing. He wore the traditional black woolen tunic and spoke a blessing in the Tzotzil language while tapping a woman with a small bundle of herbs. These sorts of scenes are very common throughout Chiapas, but to see the true heart of this Mayan Catholic faith you will need to travel to the neighboring village Chamula and the Templo San Juan.
The largely indigenous and fiercely independent town of Chamula, ten kilometers from San Cristobal, is one of the most unique churches in the world and one of only two that exclusively practice this very devout mix of Mayan and Catholic faith. It is a startlingly beautiful sight when you first enter. Pine needles cover the floor, a smoky haze from candles and incense hangs overhead, trumpet and drum music spontaneously erupts from different corners, and lines of candles burn themselves down to the floor which are then scraped up and replaced by another set. Many aspects of the church are not only unorthodox, but seem fundamentally a-Catholic. There are no pews, no formal mass or lead priests, and everyone is involved in their very own and very direct communication with God. Live chickens are used by the Chamanes as a blessing by rubbing them upon the head and the shoulders of the blessed, and then the chicken's neck is broken and is laid down upon the ground as a sacrifice. There are no seats and everyone kneels or sits upon the ground either alone or in small groups before the candles. Items of importance that you see inside San Juan Chamula are candles of different colors, eggs laid out in rows, soda, and posh which is the pre-Columbian alcoholic drink of Chiapas. These are the tools of the Chamanes, who are selected from young ages to cure the sick in this sacred place.
Throughout the town of Chamula, green crosses decorated with pine branches sit upon hilltops and along creeks and roadsides. This is an example of a pervasive religiosity where faith is a vital part of every day life throughout Chamula. It feels comforting rather than oppressive, and it is scenes like this which make the areas in and around San Cristobal a great place to be at Christmas. Christmas, at least in spirit, is supposed to be a religious holiday. Yet for so many of us there is hardly a religious quality around the holidays. Santa Claus, presents, and family can entirely eclipse the holidays for the not so religious. Yet I still believe that there is much to be learned from the devout, no matter what your spiritual persuasion. San Juan Chamula and the religious practices of Chiapas are an example of deep faith, of holding onto sacred traditions, of adaptation, and a more soulful expression of Christmas than any I have yet experienced.

This is a very lovely feminine pose that balances your upper and lower body. It opens your chest and hips and at the same time strengthens your legs. It is considered to be a standing hip opener.
In your yoga practice, you can just stand in this pose for several rounds of breath. In flow yoga incorporate it between a mountain pose and a 5-pointed star.
You can also try to "dance with the Goddess" when you exhale, straighten your legs and bring your arms down. With your next inhalation, bend your knees and bring your arms up and bend them. My favorite modification is a gentle side to side movement from the hips while standing in this pose (see the picture above).
Getting inspired by Hindu statues and paintings, you can also practice a "seated goddess". With one arm resting on a block and another one outstretched, this pose again works not just on your hips but also opens up your chest.
This pose stimulates pelvic floor and uro-genital system and therefore it is great also for mums-to-be!

Comparing Draft Prospects To NFL Players

Comparing Draft Prospects To NFL Players
Mingo is an elite pass rushing talent with a tremendous upside. After playing on an LSU defensive line loaded with NFL-caliber talent, Mingo will have a chance to show his exceptional athletic ability in the NFL. He's tall, has long arms and is explosive in his first step off the line. He has also shown in recent workouts that he has fluid hip movement and good coverage skills that will allow him to play 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL.
This transition should be similar to Von Miller, who was an elite pass rusher during his Texas A&M career but has become an elite all-around player as an outside linebacker for the Broncos. Miller's fluid hips and speed allow him not only to defend faster running backs and tight ends, but also to use his pass-rushing skills to pressure opposing quarterbacks.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The attorney of a Mattydale man charged with setting the Sept. 20 fire in which his father died will argue for his freedom based on a mental health defense.
Mary Felasco, 57-year-old Robert K. Teachout's attorney, argued for a judge to set bail Friday on the basis that her client had "major mental health issues." He has received mental health treatment and medication in jail that he hadn't had in the time leading up to the fire, she said.
Her goal is to get him out of jail and into mental health treatment, she said.
Firefighters rescued Teachout from behind a closed door in his father's burning home at 225 Garden City Dr. in Mattydale. They found his father, 83-year-old Robert Y. Teachout, dead at the foot of the stairs, Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin Walsh said in September.
Deputies charged the younger Teachout, formerly of 517 Plymouth Ave. in Mattydale, with second-degree arson and second-degree murder.
In the last year, Teachout had gone off his medication and started acting erratically, according to neighbors near his home and his father's home.
Teachout had started the fire by placing lit candles beneath some curtains, Senior Assistant District Attorney Tim Hennigan said during a county court hearing Friday.
State Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti set bail at $100,000, a decision he called "more than fair." Teachout had previously been held without bail.
According to Felasco, Teachout's previous criminal record only includes misdemeanors. He has two misdemeanors pending in Salina and one in Cicero, she said.
Felasco plans to put forth "a number of defenses," she said -- including establishing Teachout's history of mental illness and examining whether there was intent behind his setting the fire.

Guilty Plea For Cruelty Charges
MOUNDSVILLE – Kevin Strope is not permitted to own animals for the next 80 years and will serve 15 days in jail for animal cruelty.
Strope, 53, pleaded guilty Friday to a 16-count information document filed in Marshall County Circuit Court. The charges stem from a Dec. 31, 2011, investigation into dead cattle found on Strope's farm near Cameron.
According to the criminal complaint, sheriff's deputies and Marshall County humane officers found 10 dead bovines, one that had been down for several days and 13 others that were in poor condition. The complaint states Strope told officers the animals had begun to die three weeks earlier and that he was considering whether to call a veterinarian or get rid of the cattle.
A veterinarian determined the cattle were starving, either from "parasites, poor quality of hay or a number of other possible reasons." He told deputies the remaining cattle needed protein and hay immediately, though several of the remaining animals were past the point of saving.
On Friday, Strope pleaded guilty to the charges, saying he was unsure what to do when the cattle started to die Dec. 21, 2011. As part of the plea agreement, he was sentenced to 20 days in jail on each charge for a total of 320 days, with 305 of those days suspended.
Strope will serve 15 days in the Northern Regional Jail on weekends, which will allow him to continue working at his job. He also must pay a $300 fine for two of the counts, or $600 total.
The remaining 13 cattle will be officially given to the individual who had been taking care of them over the past year as a means of compensation. The transfer of those animals will cover all costs of veterinary care and will serve as restitution.
Marshall County Prosecutor Jeff Cramer said the only issue not covered in the plea agreement was that of the length of time Strope is not allowed to own or care for animals. Cramer argued because Strope acted negligently in not calling a veterinarian and allowing the cattle to die, he should not be allowed to own an animal for the maximum of five years per charge, or 80 years total.
Strope's attorney, Donald Tennant, said Strope has spent his entire adult life caring for cattle and that he was genuinely sorry and confused as to why the animals died.
"He genuinely doesn't understand what he had done wrong in feeding those cows," Tennant said, adding Strope was unsure if their condition was caused by lack of food or disease.
Circuit Judge Mark Karl ruled Strope cannot own any animal for 80 years, though he said he would revisit the matter in two years at the end of Strope's probation period.

EATONTOWN – Authorities are making a plea for the public to come forward with any information about a neglected 1-year-old Pit Bull, Danny, that was dumped extremely emaciated and covered in mange at a borough apartment complex earlier this month.
Victor "Buddy" Amato, chief law enforcement officer for the Monmouth County SPCA, said his agency is following up on a few leads, but still needs information from the public. Amato is asking anyone who may recognize the dog or know of someone who had a dog like Danny, but no longer has it, to come forward with any information that may help the case.
"We're at a standstill right now as far as that goes," Amato said. "The dog itself is doing better and better everyday."
The SPCA and the Humane Society of the United States have put up a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for dumping Danny, authorities said.
Dr. Nicole Feddersen, who is treating Danny for a skin condition and emaciation at the MCSPCA, said Danny has gained about four pounds since he was brought in and is making progress, but is still underweight.
It is expected to take several months for Danny to recover, Feddersen said.
Feddersen said when Danny goes outside, he likes to be carried and does not like the cold weather. Danny was seen exploring a room at the MCSPCA on Thursday morning, sniffing cabinets and even licking one of his caretakers.
"I never heard him bark until we didn't put a big comfy comforter in there [his cage] or a big bed and that's when we found that he barked," Feddersen said. "Then when we put the comforter in there, he stopped barking."
Danny also has a bed and his favorite toy duck in his cage, which authorities said was donated.
There are a handful of caretakers Danny has developed a trust with, Feddersen said, including Joanne Risa, Russ Horn and Deann Bowen.
Horn said they are slowly introducing Danny to more people in order to get him acclimated with new faces.
Danny was dumped in "horrific condition" at the Stony Hill apartments in Eatontown on Jan. 6, authorities said.
MCSPCA Detective Sgt. William Hyer has said the Eatontown police found Danny in the area of four dumpsters when a witness saw the dog and a white four-door car and reported it to authorities. Another witness has since told authorities they saw a white, four-door Acura acting suspicious around the same time Danny was dumped.
Amato is asking anyone with information on the dog to call him directly on his cell phone at 732-312-7153.
Authorities said anyone wishing to make a donation can send it to: Monmouth County SPCA Law Enforcement Division, Attn: Chief Amato/Danny, 260 Wall Street, Eatontown, NJ 07724.
