Macomb Correctional Facility (MRF)
Macomb County
The Macomb Correctional Facility sits on a 100-acre site. It comprises 11 major buildings and two minor buildings, totaling about 300,000 square feet. The prison contains four Level II housing units, two Level IV units and one Level I building outside the security perimeter. Four other buildings house a school, the administration offices, support services and storage.
Educational programming includes Special Education, General Education Development preparation, Adult Basic Education and vocational classes.
Routine health and dental care are provided on site. Major emergencies are treated in a community hospital or at the Duane L. Waters Health Center in Jackson. A Residential Treatment program is provided for inmates needing a residential setting for Mental Health treatment.
The perimeter of the prison is enclosed by double, 12-foot galvanized chain link fences topped with coiled stainless steel razor-ribbon wire. The wire is also in the space between the two fences to enhance the barrier. A third, 12-foot galvanized chain link fence, topped with stainless steel razor-ribbon wire provides a buffer between the facility property lines and the perimeter road. An electronic detection system is in use on the inner perimeter and the buffer fences. The prison's security was further enhanced in 1997 by the addition of two gun towers. An armed officer in an alert response vehicle provides checks of perimeter zone brakes.

"The ASP is a valuable source of information and a great place to meet friends and colleagues in the shareware industry"
Shareware is a method of software distribution and marketing, and not a
type of program. In fact, try-before-you-buy software has been
discovered by traditional "shelfware" companies, and now, nearly every
large software company provides some type of free trial version of
their software. Some of those trial versions are shareware, and some
aren't. Shareware, traditionally, is software that is published by
authors who want you to help with their word-of-mouth advertising. It's
more than a free trial; it's a free trial that you can share with your
friends. When you find a product that does what you need, you'll buy
the full version, usually directly from the author, and nearly always
find that if you need product support, you'll get a fast answer from a
programmer who worked on the product, and not some help-desk worker
reading from a pre-programmed script.
The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) was
formed in April 1987 to strengthen the future of try-before-you-buy
software as an alternative to conventional retail software. Its
members, all of whom subscribe to a code of ethics, are committed to
the concept of shareware as a method of marketing.
Today, ASP members are the industry leaders in
producing software that's so good that it doesn't have to hide inside a
box. ASP members know that many of the shelfware programs are
purchased, installed, fail to work as advertised, and then sit on a
shelf; that's how they got their name. When working with shareware,
that won't happen; you try-before-you-buy, so you know in advance that
the software is compatible with your system, your hardware, and your
other programs, and will do what you need to do in a reasonable way.
The ASP's members create and market some of the finest
software available today. ASP members' software spans the spectrum,
from high-quality accounting and inventory programs for business, to
award-winning utilities and games for all computer users. While some of
our members' programs, such as WinZip and Paint Shop Pro, are
international best-sellers, there are thousands of other excellent
business tools, Internet applications, games, educational programs,
graphics, and multimedia programs that are top-rated, and available at
moderate prices.
If you're looking for moderately-priced, high-quality software, please visit the ASP's web site at http://www.asp-software.org/ membership/membersearch.asp.
You can do a keyword search and, for most programs, you can purchase
them securely online, directly from the authors' web sites. Or you can
visit our members' web sites and download free trial versions of their
programs. We encourage you to try our members' software before you buy
Do you have questions about specific shareware programs, or about shareware in general? The ASP maintains a public newsgroup
online where you can as those questions. You're welcome to visit the
newsgroup, and post your questions or comments. Hundreds of our members
visit this newsgroup every month, and would be happy to try to answer
your questions.
ASP members are always looking for beta testers. They
need people who would be interested in trying their programs before
they're ready for prime time. Beta testers get to see programs months
before anybody else, get their ideas incorporated into the programs,
and most end up with a free copy of the program for their efforts. If
you'd like to become a beta tester, visit our public newsgroup, and
post a message that mentions the types of programs that you're
interested in.
If you're a software developer, we hope you'll consider joining the ASP.
We offer a wealth of information about how to start a software business
and how to market shareware, as well as technical programming
information. Our members' online resources have the answers to the
questions you're asking, and the questions you haven't thought of yet,
including every area of program development, software marketing, and
the business of running a software company. Our members have asked all
those questions, and they're answered on our website, in the ASPects
newsletter or in the ASPects back-issue online archive, or in the
private ASP newsgroups.
We hope you'll visit the ASP web site, and try some of our members' top-rated software.

Read more on Memmert's solutions for the food and beverage industry on our special application page.
Let us take you into the fascinating world of Memmert appliances, which we have collected on our user platform.
TUfast e.V. is a student association at the Technical University of Munich. The association builds its own cars and has enjoyed regular success in race series such as Formula Student or Shell Eco-Marathon. The CFRP body parts undergo curing in a Memmert heating oven in a vacuum under heat.
After a fundraising campaign during the Challenge Roth, Memmert donated 72 teddy bears to each of the Rescue Coordination Centres of the BRK Schwabach and Heilsbronn, the Johanniter-Unfallhilfe Schwabach-Roth and the Kreisklinik Roth. Head of marketing Katja Rosenke was now visiting Roth Hospital so that she could see at first hand how often the sweet comforting teddy bear...
For many years now at Christmas time, a generous Memmert donation has been sent to the SOS-Kinderdorf (SOS Children's Village). Last Christmas, managing director Christiane Riefler-Karpa had made available the sum of 40,000 € for the construction of an SOS Children's Village in Ethiopia. The buildings of the SOS Children's Village in Addis Ababa, opened in 1981, have been...
Christmas is the time for donations. For many years, it has been a tradition at Memmert in the Christmas season to think about those who are not living in prosperity or who even fell victim to devastating disasters. Millions of children in Africa do not have enough to eat and even in comparatively rich Germany, many underprivileged young people need our help. Shortly before...
As we know, small causes may have large effects. It all started in 2004, when a part of the ceiling plaster in the old St. Willibald's church in Büchenbach fell off. What at first seemed to be done with some minor repairs turned into a major church restoration. The evangelical church community was not able to pay the repairs with own financial resources and was therefore...
For many years now, Memmert has been supporting the SOS Kinderdorf project with a Christmas donation. In 2008, 40,000 € went to the SOS vocational training centre in Nuremberg, financing the 3rd year of training for two young men.
The 16.000 € that Memmert had donated for the Pakistan flood victims have reached the devastated people there without deductions or detours. One of our distributors for Pakistan, Rays Technologies, who had received one half of this amount, had added another 4.500 € himself.
To support the flood victims, Memmert donates 8000 € each to two distributors in Pakistan. We would kindly ask you to make a contribution as well to provide relief for the suffering people there.
All children should have equal opportunities to receive an education, irrespective of the income of their parents. This is why it is taken for granted in many countries that attending school and school books should be free of charge. The German Federal State of Baden-Wuerttemberg has even written this into its constitution.
"Despite massive international help after the earthquake in January 2010, more than 800,000 children in emergency camps in Haiti remain extremely vulnerable, according to estimates by UNICEF. They are highly threatened by disease, malnutrition, lack of schooling, as well as violence and abuse", writes Unicef in a press release dated 12th July 2010.
The equipment in an intensive care unit in an industrial country and a clinic in Africa are often worlds apart. Sometimes, the most essential things are missing there, and no state-of-the-art technology or trained specialists for operating and maintaining equipment are available. Fortunately, there are people like Peter Sommer.

A little while back, I ordered the crossed dipole sold on the AMSAT-UK web site. It arrived just before I left for Dayton, so I have not had a chance to work with it until this weekend - a holiday weekend here in the States. After mounting the antenna on a tripod and mast I had for another antenna, I was able to try it out in my back yard. Nice antenna!
This was an eastern pass, with maximum elevation of 33 degrees, so I placed the tripod along the back wall on the eastern edge of my property. The antenna was up approximately 10 feet/3m, and connected to my FUNcube Dongle Pro+ with 10 feet/3m of coax.
During this pass, I successfully copied and uploaded 56 data packets to the FUNcube data warehouse, and copied portions of 64 additional packets.
The total is in line with what I had been copying with my Elk log periodic, but it is a lot easier to use the omnidirectional antenna. :-)
This is a nice antenna, and with the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ makes a nice station to receive AO-73 telemetry (and other satellites with VHF downlinks). The cost of the antenna, including shipping from the UK to the USA, is not unreasonable. The antenna is well made, and was easy to assemble even without an instruction sheet with the antenna. AMSAT-UK supplies a length of coax with a PL-259 connector on one end and an SMA connector on the other, to go directly to the FUNcube Dongle, and a USB extension cable to go between the dongle and computer.
I just posted a YouTube video of this pass, showing the FUNcube Dashboard copying the telemetry from the crossed dipole and FUNcube Dongle Pro+. You can see it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S6_f59Pchw

New Old Fermenter
On Wednesday, we picked up our new 4 ton fermenter. It is an open top Rousseau that our friend Jérôme Aubin helped us find. (Jérôme is the owner of Artisan Barrels, a great resource for barrels, and the wine maker/owner of Aubin Cellars.) We especially like the shape of the Rousseau's - it is slightly narrower at the top. This helps keep the cap moist.
It has only been used for Pinot Noir to date - we plan to make two lots of Syrah in it this year.
More photos shortly.

Congratulations to my brothers and sisters in the BOC and the Eritrean Orthodox Church! It is truly wonderful that you are holding these celebrations together, as it illustrates the Universal character of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. May God bless your efforts!
On the subject of universality I was moved when blessed to be present at the enthronement of Patriarch Mesrob II of Istanbul that bishops and metropolitans from all of our Churches were present and laid hands on him, while H.A.H. Patriarch Bartholomew sat enthroned in the Church. It was very moving and there was a great sense of that universality of the Church.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The story of Zale Corporation (ZLC) is unlike many of the other profiles in the "From the Survey" section of Value Line's Web site. For starters, Zale went bankrupt once and came close to filing for Chapter 11 a second time just a few short years ago. This is a comeback story about a company that was in dire straits and, with the direction of new management, made the correct decisions that helped save the company. Still, despite the encouraging news, it should also be pointed out that Zale is only in the early stages of its turnaround, and a happy ending for investors is certainly not guaranteed.
Founded in 1924, Zale Corporation is one of the largest specialty retailers of diamonds and other jewelry products in North America, operating 1,715 retail locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, as well as online. The company's brands include Zales Jewelers, Zales Outlets, Gordon Jewelers, Peoples Jewellers, Mappins Jewellers, and Piercing Pagoda. Zale first experienced major problems in 1992 when it was forced to file for bankruptcy. After less than two years, the company was back on its feet and recovering nicely. Indeed, in 2008 it was enjoying a very successful year when the financial crisis hit, and the company was nearly bankrupted for a second time. Indeed, after the stock hit a high of over 42 in the middle of the year, the price of the equity crumbled to less than 3 before the year was out. High-end items are purchased with discretionary funds, and these are the first items to be cut from consumers' budgets when hard economic times hit. This was the case in 2008, as a massive rise in unemployment resulted in the demand for non-essential items, such as diamonds drying up precipitously
Since late 2008, Zale has been operating in emergency mode. In the early 2000s, it had been expanding its store base during the good times, eventually reaching 2,349 locations by 2006. As the economy went into a free fall in 2008, Zale began to shutter stores and by year-end 2009 had closed more than 300 locations. Since that time, the company has pared the total to about 1,700. Moreover, we estimate another 50 locations will be closed within the next fiscal year and continue to close at this pace for the foreseeable future.
Over the long term, we expect the diamond and jewelry business to experience some major changes. Currently, Blue Nile (NILE) and Amazon.com (AMZN) are the two biggest concerns that sell diamonds on the Internet. As customers get more comfortable spending on high-priced items online, this could present problems for Zale. For starters, this method provides Zale's competitors with a solid financial advantage because online selling is much cheaper for the companies as capital outlays for expensive brick and mortar for traditional retails stores is not needed. One way the company is trying to overcome this disadvantage is a newly launched program in which prospective customers can have a diamond sent to a specific Zale store for examination in person. Of course, Zale assigns a specially trained salesperson to meet with the client to help "close the deal."
When Zale reported fiscal 2013 earnings (ended July 31st) recently, it managed to post a profit of a few pennies a share. (In the previous quarter, the company earned a third-quarter profit for the first time in seven years.) The reaction to this data by Wall Street has been close to euphoric. Zale shares, which sold for as low as $3.80 this year, are now trading close to $14. Many investors and analysts believe that this is just the beginning of a resurgence. Research reports on Wall Street are already forecasting earnings to justify large advances in the stock price. It is possible that Wall Street is well ahead of itself in this regard, though.
An important factor to remember about Zale's turnaround is the influence of private equity firm Golden Gate Capital. A respected expert in dealing with distressed retail companies, it is partially responsible for the company's success. Golden Gate's expertise and capital did not come cheaply to Zale, however. As part of the rescue agreement with Zale it was granted 11 million warrants to purchase Zale stock at $2 a share. If exercised. This will result in a 20% increase in the amount of shares outstanding.
Investors should also keep in mind the volatility of the stock and the fact that the company can exhibit a vast swing in its fortunes in an extremely short period of time, such as in 2008 when the company saw its stock price fall 93% from its high.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

Panic at Evergreen Junior High last week over false rumors that a shooting would take place on campus led to some unfortunate consequences. One is the fear that prompted parents to keep about 200 students out of class Thursday and Friday. Another is the harsh penalty leveled against one of the students involved.
Panic at Evergreen Junior High last week over false rumors that a shooting would take place on campus led to some unfortunate consequences. One is the fear that prompted parents to keep about 200 students out of class Thursday and Friday. Another is the harsh penalty leveled against one of the students involved.
The chain of events sounds preposterous. A 13-year-old girl told a fellow student that she had dreamed someone was coming to campus to shoot people. It would happen, she said, on Thursday. As you might expect, word spread quickly, and the message got distorted along the way. Finally, it landed on one of the greatest rumor mills of our time — Facebook — after a 14-year-old student posted this message Monday: "Do not, I repeat, do not go to school on Thursday. Someone is supposed to be shooting, rumor has it!"
Well, as you might expect, that scared a lot of people.
Making matters worse, a student at TAPPS, the parish's alternative school for children with discipline problems, called in a bomb threat to Evergreen on Thursday afternoon, saying it would blow up at 9 o'clock. That, too, turned out false, and the student was justifiably arrested. You just can't do something like that, and when you do, the penalty should be severe.
It's the penalty against the 14-year-old girl who posted the Facebook message that I'm not so sure about. Sure, the girl's actions require discipline. But expelling her from school? Thrusting her into the criminal-justice system under the charge of "terrorizing?"
For me, it boils down to intent. Was she trying to warn people of something she thought really could pose a threat? Or was she just out to start trouble? So far, that has not been made clear, and it will ultimately be up to school officials and a judge to decide. If it was the former, it sure seems excessive to expel her and charge her with a crime like terrorizing. If it was the latter, sorry, but you'll have to pay the price.
Unfortunately, violence on campuses across the country has resulted in zero-tolerance policies like the one Terrebonne Parish school officials are enforcing in this instance. That's understandable in an age when the formerly unthinkable — a school massacre like December's tragedy in Newtown, Conn. — has become far too common.
But too often, the adults charged with protecting children have replaced good judgment and common sense with rigid rules that fail to serve anyone well. As I suggested, a student who calls in a bomb threat to fan the flames of an already fearful situation deserves what's coming to him. But does a girl who shares a dream like this with another student deserve to be suspended, as in this case?
And speaking of adults, some of the ones involved in this case didn't exactly inspire confidence. For instance, whoever sent this letter home to Evergreen's parents Wednesday deserves, at the least, some training on how to communicate during a crisis.
"Yesterday afternoon, we were advised of a possibility that someone may cause harm to students and faculty," the letter says. "The results of the investigation have determined that an Evergreen student created and posted a comment on Facebook that caused concern. With the assistance of the sheriff's office, students involved in this incident have received the appropriate disciplinary action."
To their credit, at least school officials made an attempt to keep parents informed. But as many parents noted in The Courier and Daily Comet and on the newspapers' Facebook pages, there is no mention of a dream. There is no mention of whether the threat had been proven real or fake. Heck, who can blame a parent for keeping his or her child home the next day?
The letter made Superintendent Philip Martin's job even harder as he tried to calm the rising fears among students, parents and the community. Parents, many of whom had read the Facebook post and the school's letter, were unconvinced by his public pronouncement that "nobody made any actual threats." It also didn't help that Martin first reported that only 65 of Evergreen's roughly 1,000 students were absent Thursday morning. He did take the initiative of quickly correcting the figure and letting the community know that someone at the system's central office had misread the attendance numbers. But parents who had already learned about it were calling him out for the mistake and expressing distrust in his statements.
Some Facebook posts shed light and added useful information to the discussion, especially messages from parents who had seen or heard things with their own eyes and ears. But other posts on the newspapers' Facebook pages and in the comments below our online stories did more to heighten the confusion than to quell it. Some delivered more rumors and hearsay. A few spouted outright conspiracy theories.
In this case, though, spreading rumors, hearsay and conspiracy theories on Facebook is more likely to land a young student in trouble with the law than any adult. Don't get me wrong. These students' actions are serious. They sparked a lot of fear, anxiety and confusion, and significant consequences are warranted. Lessons must be learned. Let's make sure it's the adults — and not just the kids — who learn them.

Most of us here like gadgets. Things with displays, LEDs, or stuff that otherwise lights up in the dark and makes cool noises.

Wal-Mart Faces Obstacles to India Expansion
Wal-Mart had big plans to expand in India, with its sights set on becoming the country's top retailer by 2015. But the WSJ's Megha Bahree tells Mariko Sanchanta how licensing issues are preventing the U.S. retailer from hitting its targets.

(BPT) – Post-holiday sales aren't the only deals to be found during the winter months. Starting in January, and running all winter-long, boat shows take place across the country. They offer some of the best pricing and incentives of the year – a major draw for the 83 million Americans who take to the water each year. For those ready to plan their summer fun, boat shows are often the place to start.
Boat shows create a unique shopping experience since hundreds of boats are under one roof to board, browse and buy, however, most people don't know about the additional perks these events offer. Discover Boating, the national awareness program to help get people on the water, offers the following tips to make those boating dreams a reality:
* Do that nautical homework. Before attending a local boat show, do a little research and have a plan. Spend time on DiscoverBoating.com to research different types of boats that fit your budget and lifestyle with a new boat selector tool or use the loan calculator to estimate monthly payments. There's even a boat show finder to locate a boat show in your area.
* Warm up with hot deals. Unlike auto shows, boat shows are the place to buy. Hundreds of new-year models are available to buy right at the show often at some of the best prices of the year as exhibitors generally offer special show pricing or other incentives. Plus, it's the perfect time to order a new boat to ensure it arrives ready to launch in spring.
* Try out the boating lifestyle.Boat shows are a great place for beginners looking to learn not only about the boat buying process, but also the boating lifestyle. Find a show with a "Welcome to the Water Center" that offers unbiased advice on finding a boat that best suits your lifestyle and budget. Many also offer boater education – from getting a captain's license to learning how to dock a boat, as well as displays of boats that can be financed for $250 a month or less.
* Get your feet wet. Boat shows bring the great outdoors indoors, creating an environment to enjoy the sights and sounds of summer. With affordable admission prices, anyone can take advantage of an array of activities (often at no additional cost) including: scuba diving, fishing for kids, paddle sports, seminars, antique boats, giveaways and more. Plus, it's a great place to meet other boaters as many make their local boat show a winter rendezvous.
* Look for the seal of approval.Keep an eye out for a few key "seals of approval" when shopping the show. Marine Five Star Certified Dealers are retailers who have made a commitment to making the buying and maintenance of a boat both pleasant experiences. Boats marked NMMA Certified have met strict industry product quality standards.
Winter boat shows are an easy way to learn how to get on the water, plus a chance to enjoy a taste of summer during the coldest months of the year. Visit DiscoverBoating.com to find a boat show near you, a list of certified dealers and manufacturers, and unbiased advice for getting started in boating.

The fourth round of the Major League Baseball draft was historic for a couple of area college teams and their top prospects.
The fourth round of the Major League Baseball draft was historic for a couple of area college teams and their top prospects.
Wesley Rogers, an outfielder from Spartanburg Methodist, was selected Friday afternoon by the Colorado Rockies and became the school's highest draft pick in a quarter of a century. Chad Sobotka, a pitcher from USC Upstate, went 20 spots later, 133rd overall, to the Atlanta Braves and became the highest pick in school history.
"Today has been overwhelming and crazy, so many different things all at once," said Rogers, a center fielder and leadoff hitter from J.L. Mann High School in Greenville. "I'm so blessed to have this happen."
Sobotka, from Sarasota, Fla., said he got a call from the Braves right around the time that the Rockies were picking Rogers and got further confirmation when it was five picks away from Atlanta's turn.
"It's just such an honor," Sobotka said. "It's a great organization for pitchers, especially. I've always heard good things about the Braves. I'm really excited about how things turned out."
Sobotka missed this season, his junior year, because of a stress fracture in his back. But he was able to get back on the mound last month for several bullpen sessions, two of which were attended by pro scouts.
"Coming into the season, I thought I was a first- or second-round talent," Sobotka said. "The back injury, I'm sure, caused me to drop a little. Also, I was also trying to transition from reliever to starter. I never got a chance to prove I could do that. But I'm very happy."
Sobotka had seven saves in 2013 while posting a 3.86 ERA and holding opponents to a .225 batting average. He said he expects to report soon to the Braves' spring training facility in Orlando, Fla.
"I think the plan is for me to continue with my rehab there," he said. "I'll be doing that for most of the summer and trying to get ready for the instructional league (in the fall)."
Rogers' first destination with the Rockies is likely straight back to Grand Junction, Colo., where he last week he finished helping SMC to a third-place finish in the Junior College World Series. He batted .583 with a home run there at Suplizio Field, where Colorado's rookie-level team plays.
"I love Grand Junction," said Rogers, who also played last year with SMC in the Series. "Hopefully, I'll still be swinging the bat well there. ... I guess the timing of everything worked out. I was lucky enough to play well in Grand Junction and got hot. I wasn't thinking about the draft. I was just trying to play well and help us win."
Rogers (6-foot-4, 175 pounds) batted .351 for SMC this season with an on-base percentage of .479. He had 18 doubles, three triples, two homers (one at the World Series), 35 RBIs and 26 stolen bases in 29 attempts. After the tournament, he was asked by the Rockies to attend a pre-draft workout in Arizona instead of flying home with the team.
"He really bumped his stock up in the last three weeks. That was great for him," SMC head coach Tim Wallace said. "He was swinging it as well as anybody in the World Series. He put on a show out there."
Rogers, who had committed to play for UNC Wilmington next season, became SMC's highest draft pick since Wallace took over as head coach 23 years ago and the highest since outfielder Jeff McNeely of Monroe, N.C., went in the second round to the Boston Red Sox in 1989. Pitcher Jonathan Hurst from Spartanburg High School went in the fourth round to the Texas Rangers in 1987.
Former SMC standout Reggie Sanders, who spent 17 seasons in the major leagues, was a seventh-round selection in 1987. Another famous alum, former all-star and four-time Gold Glove winner Orlando Hudson, was taken in the 43rd round of the 1997 draft.
"Wes has all the tools," Wallace said. "He can really run and, offensively, he's pretty advanced for his age. I think he'll do well if he keeps working at it. He's got a big-league body type and big-league speed. As his body fills out, he will develop more power. But he has a line-dive stroke and doesn't need to put any lift into it."
Sobotka (6-6, 170) was recruited by USC Upstate despite being a pitcher for only one season in high school. He was a 5-7 shortstop as a freshman, he said, hit a growth spurt and was tried on the mound during his last year.
"Upstate was the only college that gave me a chance," Sobotka said. "When I got there, my velocity improved dramatically (from about 82 mph to low 90s and touching up to 96 last summer). I had a great pitching coach in Dusty Blake (former Wofford assistant now head coach at Pfeiffer), was with Wes Wrenn as a sophomore and worked this year with Drew Saberhagen (son of former Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen). All three of those guys were great and really helped me with my mechanics."
Until Friday, the highest draft pick from USC Upstate (formerly USC Spartanburg) was pitcher Steve Bird by the Cleveland Indians in the sixth round of 1986. Chris Hawkins, who is now the head softball coach at the school, was a 15th round pick by the Houston Astros in 1985.
"I'm very happy for Chad because I know how hard he worked to reached this point in his baseball career," USC Upstate head coach Matt Fincher said. "I know how disappointed he was in the spring that he wouldn't be able to pitch at all this season. … He is an outstanding prospect and I have every reason to believe that his baseball career is going to take off."

Employee Hygiene Goes Hand-in-Hand with Food Safety
Employee hygiene goes hand in hand with food safety.
Food safety is, without question, the No. 1 concern of the food processing industry. Each year, processors spend millions of dollars for the controls, manpower, facilities upgrades and equipment to assure their food operations are cleaner than Martha Stewart's kitchen.
Why then do companies frequently fall short at the most important interface in the food safety scene - the hands of their plant workers?
"The idea behind HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control points) programs is to identify areas where bacteria can get into food," says Hillard Witt, president of Best Sanitizers (www.bestsanitizers.com), Penn Valley, Calif. "And employee hygiene may be the biggest area of risk when it comes to product contamination."
An estimated 30 percent of all food contamination might be traced to human hygiene practices, Witt estimates - roughly the same as the risk stemming from improperly cleaned equipment.
"Look at the many thousands of dollars plants spend on equipment cleaning each year, yet often plants are not nearly as concerned with the personal hygiene of their plant personnel," says Witt.
Disparity between philosophy and practice - sanitizing hands twice in the plant and not at all in the restroom, for example - is common and the most important reason rigorous training and control measures must be put in place. Corporate and plant operations leadership have to close the "cultural gap" and change the mindset that keeps contamination risk at the human/food interface at such high levels. That means taking steps to build awareness and inculcate plant personnel - and not just line workers - into a culture of hygiene that makes best practice a habit.
"Face it: If you only get 20- to 30-percent compliance among doctors and nurses, obviously it's important to have programs in place to make compliance easier among plant personnel," says Witt. "We recommend a total cultural change. I compare entering the food processing area to scrubbing before surgery to diminish the chance of contamination and infection. That's what we preach to the food industry."
Total package
Employee hygiene and sanitation is not just a simple game of hairnets and hand washing. It's a "total package" of principles, practices, training and enforcement that encompasses everything from soaps and sanitizers to uniforms, footwear, cleaning dispensers, clean rooms and entryways.
Processing plants have to take hygiene practices into their own hands before they can expect the soaps and sanitizers to transfer to the hands of plant personnel. Fortunately, the basic steps and formal processes required to keep food safe from human error are not difficult. Better products, training and services to facilitate such practices and insurance measures are more accessible each year.
Where do you start?
"The first thing you need to define is what is 'compliance' to your plant hygiene standards and the repercussions of non-compliance," says Tom Boufford, manager of technical support for Ecolab (www.ecolab.com), Minneapolis, which offers complete programs along with hand soaps, footwear cleaners, and hand and glove sanitizers. "After that, you must follow with training."
Don't assume people know what needs to be done. Merely placing a bottle or dispenser of antimicrobial soap in the men's room does not guarantee plant personnel will use it - or use it effectively. Most employees want to do the job right, however. Management's responsibility is to provide appropriate training and to put in place enforcement and accountability measures to ensure standards and good intentions translate into effective hygiene practice. Work on ways to make it easy to comply, and put in measures to make non-compliance difficult if not impossible.
"Uniform" standards
Clothing is a prime source of contamination. The best way to diminish the risk of contamination from clothing worn at your processing facility is to provide uniforms, gloves, boots, etc., and to make sure those uniforms and safety garments never leave the plant.
Cintas Corp. (www.cintas.com), the Cincinnati-based garment and facility service provider, offers customers a complete HACCP-directed employee hygiene program. It's a one-stop service with all products: bouffant, gloves, shoe covers, shoes, anti-fatigue mats, beard covers and more. Its garment-cleaning service employs a validated six-log microbe-reduction wash formula.
The program also includes a restroom-cleaning service centered around the Ultra-Clean Machine, which is half shop-vac and half power wash. It also can be used in production areas. "It cleans all surfaces thoroughly, sucks up the water and flushes it down the drain," says Cintas representative Jan Eudy, noting the importance of restroom cleaning and maintenance in any employee hygiene program. The program also includes Sanis hand-washing soaps plus an alcohol-based hand-washing agent.

September 11th Tattoo Memorials
On this 12th anniversary of September 11th, my thoughts are with friends who lost family, fellow firefighters, and friends. Many get tattooed to honor loved ones, mark moments that should not be forgotten. These 9/11 tattoos offer pause to reflect on the courageous and beautiful acts that took place that day in the face of tragedy and evil.
Photographer Vinnie Ammese, of Staten Island, NY began documenting 9/11 memorial tattoos in 2003, which you can find on his online portfolio here, including the photo shown above. Firefighter tattoo site Strike The Box also has an extensive gallery of 9/11 member-submitted tattoo tributes.
Spider Webb also obsessively drew 9/11 flash the months following the tragedy. He's quoted on his 9/11 gallery page as saying: "I picked up a pencil because I didn't know what else to do. Between trying to help and cursing at the TV, I began drawing tattoo flash about this event and for this event. I was consciously thinking in terms of tattoos because I knew people would need them."

Colorado Shooting Suspect Makes His First Court Appearance
James Holmes, donning orange hair, appeared dazed and eyes drooping as he sat quietly with his court appointed attorney during an initial hearing today in a Colorado courtroom.
The judge advised the 24-year-old alleged shooter of the case, and set an arraignment hearing for July 30th at 9:30 a.m. when he will be formally charged in last Fridays shooting at an Aurora Movie Theater that claimed 12 lives and wounded 58 people.
Authorities say the former graduate student is refusing to cooperate and it could take months to learn what prompted the horrific attack on moviegoers at a midnight screening of the latest Batman film.
Investigators say they found a Batman mask inside Holmes' booby-trapped apartment after the attack.
Holmes has been held in solitary confinement since Friday. Prosecutors say they may consider the death penalty but will make that decision after consulting with victim's families.

If you fail to mail it in time, you have to hand-deliver it to the County Clerk's Office. In Bernalillo, that's in City Hall (One Civic Plaza NW) on the sixth floor. If you requested a mail-in ballot, you cannot vote at a regular polling location.
What if I have problems at the polls?

Tenori-On Design Detail
The Interface area of Tenori-On consists of a simple square of 16x16 matrix of LED switches surrounded by an aluminium frame. The upper part of the aluminium frame has two high sound quality speakers, the lower part of the aluminium section has a dial and a LCD, and both sides of the aluminium frame there are four function switchesthat change sound or image etc. These interfaces are designed with particular attention being paid to quality and ease of operation. The back of Tenori-On has a 16x16 matrix of LED lights that copy the light display produced by the LED switches of the control surface. This facilitates a beautiful light display when Tenori-On is used during stage performances, or when used for interior ornamental effect.

Remember that flabby, somewhat haggard version of Mauricio Rua that showed up to about every other one of his fights in the UFC with bum knees and a shit gas tank? He died. And now his freakishly fit doppleganger is here to bang all of our girlfriends and wives. So I have both, big whoop wannafightaboutit?
As was the case for BJ Penn, it appears that Shogun has whipped himself into damn near the best shape we have ever seen him in for his upcoming fight with Alexander Gustafsson. And it's surprisingly appropriate; both Rua and Penn are aging legends looking to make one last run at a title shot, and both men must get past two highly-touted young bucks in order to do so. And no one wants to show up out of shape on the same network that airs The Choice. A loss is a loss, but having Pauly D mock your love handles with a laser pointer is a punishment no person on this earth deserves.
Although Shogun has been given a slightly better chance of pulling off the upset than Penn, both men are considerable underdogs heading into Saturday's event, so make sure to swing by CP at 8 p.m. EST to see if these two will rise from the ashes or go down in flames. And if you're in the Boston/Dorchester area, hit up either Karma or myself on Twitter to see which dive bar we'll be catching the fights from and come join us. We apologize in advance for getting you thrown out of said dive bar, but that bouncer was totally giving one of us the stink eye.

"Amber Doll Project"
View Fullscreen HD
Lived Performance and Digital Video
4minute Compilation of Excerpts
A 4 minute excerpt from a two-year lived performance that continues in perpetuity. I commissioned the production of a life-like sex doll, a
, made of a posable PVC skeleton and silicone flesh, in my exact likeness.
My doll, Amber Doll, began as a Styrofoam print-out of a digital scan of my head. Her face was then custom-sculpted and later combined with the doll manufacturer's existing, "Body #8" female doll mold. After completing,
"The Making-Of Amber Doll"
"Las Vegas Wedding Ceremony"
(both 2007), Amber Doll and I went on to disrupt
wedding receptions
, roller-skating rinks,
football tailgating parties
, theme parks, and adult industry conventions.
In the resulting series, "To Have, To Hold, and To Violate: Amber and Doll," ideas surrounding agency and objectification are questioned, as are ideas about the success or failure of negotiating power through one's own participation in a cultural narrative that declares women as objects. My work with Amber Doll, herself a literal object, deals with such themes through an oftentimes-complicated feminist lens.

Washington: President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel say their countries are still working on an agreement on privacy and US spying.
That`s due to revelations from former NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Snowden`s documents showed the NSA targeted Merkel`s own cellphone and caused an uproar in Germany.
Efforts to reach a no-spying agreement with the US have faltered. Obama says the two governments are, quote, "not perfectly aligned yet" on resolving differences on how the NSA should operate on German soil. And Merkel says differences remain.
The leaders spoke at a news conference at the White House. Obama says: "There are still some gaps that need to be worked through."

Very cool. I wonder...could you while they are melting take like a wooden skewer and run it across the colors to meld them together? Or maybe a brush of some type?
