Near Dark (US - BD)
Gabe takes a belated look at Kathryn Bigelow's vampire flick on Blu-ray...
Oklahoma small town bumpkin Caleb Colton (Adrian Pasdar) finds true love one night in a mysterious, out of towner named Mae (Jenny Wright). During a make-out session Mae bites Caleb's neck, and draws blood, before running off. As the sun rises Caleb's skin begins to burn, and just before making it back to his farm home he's snatched up by Mae's roving family unit. Turns out that they're vampires, and that Mae's love bite has turned Caleb into a vampire too. Awkward family dynamics and blood drinking ensue.
Popular vampire stories, as noted by many important intellectual sources, are a surprising potent measurement of the popular culture of any given era since their inception. In the '80s the most popular vampire movies were rather fun-loving, relatively bloodless exercises, including Fright Night and My Best Friend's a Vampire. Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark doesn't offer much new to vampire lore, except maybe the mode of transportation (and possibly the old man vampire trapped in a child's body element), but it was the perfect antidote to Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys, which was released the same year, and featured many similar plot elements. Both films feature a male protagonist falling in with the wrong crowd (in both cases crowds of a vampiric nature), falling for the wrong girl (though in the case of Lost Boys the homoeroticism overtakes any doomed hetero romance), and fighting the violent side of becoming a vampire. Both films also deal with post-adolescent family units ( The Lost Boys title clearly evoking the classic tale of post-adolescent – Peter Pan). Apparently 1987 audiences preferred Schumacher's more lighthearted take on the formula (it was a hit, while Bigelow's film was a flop), but many horror fans prefer Near Dark's harder edge.
The love story stands just this side of hokey, but the events surrounding it are delightfully southern fried, and just as testosterone driven as the majority of Bigelow's aggressive filmography. The western aspects of the film are something that wouldn't be explored again on film until Anthony Hickcox's Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat in 1990 (an even more underappreciated film than Near Dark), and later by John Carpenter, who took a crack at the genre with the aptly titled Vampires, which was one of the directors most unfortunately uneven films. Bigelow's film was definitely ahead of the curve in this aspect, and the frequency and cruelty of the film's violence sets it far apart from most of the '80s best vampire flicks, save perhaps Elly Kenner and Norman Thaddeus Vane's underseen The Black Room (which is such a child of the '70s many critics suspect it was actually filmed in the era, and held unreleased until 1984). Tony Scott's The Hunger is bleaker overall, but Near Dark's rough edges make it the more indelibly visceral experience.
Despite apparently coincidental thematic similarities with The Lost Boys, Near Dark's script is probably its strongest suit. Bigelow's direction is strong, especially based on her budget, and the cast is packed with deservingly memorable performances, but without the perfectly structured script, crafted by Bigelow and Eric Red, the film's less original elements would've stepped more to the forefront. The film's cult appeal is largely due to the unique story elements, and the brisk runtime, both of which wouldn't have worked without such a strong script. Perhaps even more relevant than the air-tight structure and indelible characters (which are equally credited to the actors, who developed them through extensive rehearsal and improve) are the screenplay's understated analogous elements. No one ever feels the need to directly reference the social implications of Caleb's dueling family units in terms of dialog. Red's screenwriting pedigree is largely defined by Near Dark and Robert Harmon's The Hitcher, which was released the year before Bigelow's film. Since then he's largely floundered, but his efforts are always recognized by horror fans, and his newest films are usually given the benefit of the doubt.
The horror stories surrounding this particular high definition transfer are, sadly, at least partially true. The claims comparing this transfer unfavorably to Anchor Bay's OOP DVD special edition strike me as hyperbole, but it has been a long time since I rented that particular disc, and when I did I certainly didn't watch it on this set. On the whole this 1080p transfer looks better than an up-converted DVD to me, but it certainly isn't the reason to celebrate I'm sure fans were hoping for when the Blu-ray release was announced. The night time scenes are very dark, and low on details, but there isn't too much grain or noise. The daylight scenes are a more startling story, featuring some major DNR (especially visual in background details), a sad lack of details, and some edge-enhancement problems on the harshest contrasting areas. These scenes are sometimes sub-up-converted DVD quality. The indoor and stage set scenes, where the filmmakers exert the most control, are the best looking parts of the transfer, featuring some nice pin-point contrasts without edge-enhancement, though details are still at a premium, and there are a few unfortunate ghosting effects. There aren't many chances for vibrant hues in the film, but the occasional warm bursts are solidly cut, and clear of obvious compression noise. It's pretty clear that the overall darkness of the film is most to blame for many of these issues, and the darkness is key to the film's overall mood. Without being an expert on the subject I'm assuming the transfer would actually look better with more grain and noise, and the DNR frequency, which creates an overall muddied look, is the release's real problem.
Again, it's been too long since I last viewed the Anchor Bay release, and I can't recall the audio quality for comparison purposes here. What I can say, based on this viewing alone, is that some of the 2.0 to 5.1 efforts are a bit on the awkward side. The centered elements don't bleed, but disappointingly enough make up the majority of the non-musical aural pieces. The directional stereo effects that do make their way out from the center are often a shed too obviously adjusted for the new mix, but work well enough to add a little texture to the mix. The rear channels are almost entirely free of discreet noise outside of some minor ambience and musical echo effects. The LFE track supports the music, vehicular engines, and gunshots, but its most creative use is the rumble caused by encroaching light. Overall the track's biggest problem is volume consistency throughout the effects and dialogue. The included PCM 2.0 track is a little more consistent, and though the center channel bleeds a bit into the stereo channels, and the LFE is shallower, probably the preferable way to view the film. Tangerine Dream's synth heavy score is the most aggressive element on both tracks, often overstepping into too loud territory, but the score's melancholy nature works well to undercut the film's more action and suspense oriented scenes. The bar scene is the best sampling of the mix's aural abilities, featuring a mix of relatively consistent vocal elements, natural sound effects, and some nicely blended ambient jukebox music.
Lionsgate isn't very good about creating new extras for their catalogue Blu-ray releases, but they've done the next best thing in this case, and commissioned the Anchor Bay DVD's extras, or at least the most valuable ones. These start with a commentary track with director Kathryn Bigelow. Bigelow is intelligent and delightfully soft spoken, but she leaves a lot of blank space, and has a tendency to state the obvious. I'd prefer a little more focus on the technical aspects of filmmaking, or behind the scenes stories, but Bigelow is mostly intent on discussing the structural and unspoken elements of the script. There are some surprises here that aren't available in the making-of documentary, but overall the track is merely a nice addition, rather than a 'must hear'.
'Living in Darkness' (47:20, SD) is a solid retrospective look at the film. The various cast and crew interview subjects, including Bigelow, producer Steven-Charles Jaffe, cinematographer Adam Greenberg, actors Bill Paxton, Lance Henricksen, Adrian Pasdar, and Jenette Goldstein discuss the script's inception, selling the film, securing Bigelow in the director's chair, the film's look, casting, character back-story, the filming process, Bigelow's directing method, special effects, and release. Henricksen's method acting method stories are particularly entertaining, as are the descriptions of on and off set pranks. The talking head interviews are set to scenes of the film and still photos, but there is unfortunately no behind the scenes footage available.
The extras are finished up with a deleted scene (1:20, SD), shot in infrared black and white, and presented only with Bigelow's commentary as audio, and two trailers.
There's been a lot of talk about the Lionsgate production artists tailoring this Near Dark Blu-ray's cover art towards the Twilight crowd, and personally I'm for it. Even if only one fan of Stephenie Meyer's Mormon dynamic vampire series enjoys Kathryn Bigelow's film enough to seek out more complex vampire lore this goofy cover art is worth it. The disc, on the other hand, is actually a disappointment, featuring a DNR flubbed transfer, and average audio. The Anchor Bay DVD's extras are somewhat represented though, so fans that missed out on that release will want to pick this up for the commentary track and making of doc, but those with the AB release in hand might want to skip.

"I taught Severen everything he knew - but not everything I know. The last sound you hear is gonna be the sound of your guts snapping like a bullwhip." Such an awesome film, but good to know I can stick with the AB DVD.
man if i had never seen that movie, i woulda never recognized that was adrian pasdar on the cover. looks nothing like him.
anyway i must add this to the list of cult movies from the 80s that i only saw in the recent past and couldn't get into. maybe you had to have been there in the beginning to enjoy it or something.
but its interesting that you have 3 actors who were in Aliens.

retard and proof or proof and retard?
Hi, I am planning to bake some french baguettes tomorrow using a recipe from Peter Reinhart's BBA. I have prepared my pâte fermentée today and tomorrow I will mix the rest of the ingredients and leave the dough to rise until doubled, then I will shape the baguettes but, here is my problem , I will not have enough time for proofing and baking on the same day.
Here is my question : Should I put the shaped baguettes in the frig immediatly after shaping and proof them the next day before baking or should I proof them first and then put it in the frig and bake them directly from the frig the next day?.
Thanks for your input

Haha, indeed. I went through the mud just after the pathway was first reopened on the roadie and then spent 10-15 minutes just clearing the brakes a couple hundred metres up the path. It got to the point where I considered dipping it in Kedron Brook because none of the taps worked

Hello Mathew, great to see you back here again.
Just a quick question, with the NZC Contracts being announced soon who do you think there are any 'under-the-radar' players in the domsetic scene that could be a 'shock' inclusion?

In your opiniion, what went wrong there?
Just in case he missed it the first time...
Hi Mathew,
As a NZ supporter, I am often frustrated about our inability to handle quality spinners - particularly the likes of Muralitharan, Kumble and Harbhajan. Again, this became an issue at the Twenty20 World Cup when we came up against Mendis. Obviously, this is hard to replicate in practice situations, but how can we improve our batsmen in regards to reading spinners out of the hand?
Mat, how bad did you find the Australian crowds when you toured here? They've recieved a lot of bad press in the past, is it just a beat up?

Rest In Peace Craigos
You may or may not recognise my username: people have often made sly jokes in reply to your blog entries about my (perhaps over-the-top) support of you on this forum.
It must be confusing and frustrating for you as a player to never really know where you stand. The selectors showed you were still in the frame by picking you for that ODI against the West Indies, but then you disappeared off the map after just one outing and seemed to fall behind a couple of other players (despite outperforming them domestically). Do you have any insight as to the logic behind some of the selections that seem, on the surface anyway, to be quite contradictory? Do you get feedback as a player on the fringes of selection as to the reasons why you are picked, or aren't picked as the case may be?
Thanks for your time,
Evening Mat,
Quite often at Test/ODI/T20 level the NZ batsmen have struggled against real geniune pace (like Shaun Tait, Mohammad Sami, Brett Lee etc.), why is that? Is that down to lack of real geniune fast bowlers (like over 145km/h) on the NZ domestic scene? Mind you Shane Bond when he was at his fastest ran through teams in ODIs for fun as well.
What was the reason for Kiwis' exit from the just ended t20i WC?
Hey Matthew !!
FIrst of all thanks a lot for your time
My question is .......
Will Shane Bond have to fight for his spot or he will get an automatic green signal ?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has created unprecedented opportunities for these young people to fully develop as positive, contributing members of our society.The YLF enables them to learn from each other and from successful adults with disabilities. Hundreds of our YLF alumni lead independent lives and many have graduated from such prestigious universities as UCLA and Stanford and have successful careers.
What is it?
The YLF is an innovative, intensive five-day training program for high school juniors and seniors with disabilities. The training is presented in a fun, entertaining, and educational format in Sacramento, California. It was created by the California Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities

Topics include "Choosing a Career," "Understanding the History of Disability as a Culture," and "Assistive Technology for Independence Presenters include disability community leaders, legislators, celebrities, and other adult role models who have disabilities. Students identify existing challenges to personal and professional success and develop plans to deal on how to overcome those challenges. They learn to manage their independence, develop public policy recommendations which are formally presented by the Governor's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities to the Governor and State Legislature, develop "Personal Leadership Plans" which include specific action items for the students when they return to their communities, learn how they may be able to participate in internships, mentoring programs, and other employment preparation activities, once the Forum has ended and learn how they may be able to participate in internships, mentoring programs, and other employment preparation activities, once the Forum has ended.
How Does The Forum Happen?
Approximately 60 high school students are selected to attend through a competitive process. The event successfully integrates students who represent the disability and ethnic diversity of our state. The Forum is held annually at the end of July in the State Capitol, Sacramento, and at California State University, Sacramento

This fascinating documentary was filmed from December 1985 to March 1986 at NeXT's team retreat in Pebble Beach. It offers a rare glimpse of Steve's vision, aspirations and managerial approach.
Remarkable documentary - several planning meetings and discussions during NeXT's early days, with Steve Jobs and his team, many of which also worked on the Macintosh. You have to see this.

All the ones i never expected to like me at all that much confessed to me.
there was always this unspoken bond between us during grad school, even when we were seeing other people; therefore, once we actually began seeing each other, it felt so natural & warranted. one night after a movie, i confessed that i wanted her as my girlfriend. til this day, she taunts me about how nervous i was.. hehe.
the fullmetal pharmacist!
one was a guy from my class when i was in junior high school
he annoyingly tease me a lot and he notice everything -_-
then one day he confess and i had this shocked poker face on me
occupation: sleepiest girl on the planet
I somehowjust anticipated dating the girl and i just was nervous so i dropped my balls and asked
Eh...my offline experience with this is limited but basically one girl just..kind of claimed me...It was never really said or anything. We were just sort of together. Another girl showed her feelings by locking me in an outside playhouse for awhile. One girl, who I rarely admit even existed, just asked me out to a school dance. I think that might be it for offline people. Online people mostly just busted out the "I love you" or "I think I love you" lines...one started telling me about an altar she made and spells and blood used for it to try and get me to like her...that one was awkward. A lot of others online just kind of started claiming me as well. I don't really know what it is that makes them just start saying someone belongs to them but it got kind of crazy when some of them started arguing over it. I miss those days...they were a lot less complicated than things are now.
Most of the time with me it was a mutual attraction, not "love". If you love someone by the time it all comes out then you've done goofed.
One time I hinted that I was interested in her, and she poured it all out to me. We had liked each other without realising the other person did as well.
Another it had just graduated from playful flirting to a full blown "I want to be your girlfriend."
It was a terrible experience.
I had planned to go to the movies with a bunch of friends, and one of my guy friends was meant to pick me up to take us both there. As soon as I got in the car, he turned to me and grabbed my hands and said "I think I love you".
It was the singular most awkward thing in my life, I felt so bad just saying thank-you back -_____-
When men talk about how much they like me I generally laugh at them and explain that they have no chance in hell. If they're decent guys I'll buy them a drink as a consolation prize.
Women though... I will generally buy them many drinks and then shamelessly seduce them. But then I won't call later, because I'm an asshole.
Either way, I've had literally hundreds of confessions, so they're really not that special or memorable. I'd rather be treated like I'm important than told I'm important. Devotion and love are things easily demonstrated, but once you start talking about them they get flimsy.
The same thing we do every night, Pinky...
most of the time they just tell me straight up they like me.
Some more memorable ones was singing, while doing pushups, and though not confessing love, but just asking for my number, a dolphin trainer (who was in the tank and feeding them) make the dolphin perform waves/dances etc for me, then caught up to me (as i was walking through an aquarium) still in his wetsuit and asked. ..
Ah, once a guy just took of his shirt and said 'i'm leaving now, so won't be seeing you again... unless..." =_=
i get really random ones... i tend to attract weirdos.
i don't/haven't confessed to anyone yet. Well.. unless it's a mutual return confession (if a guy tells me he loves/likes me, i'll return it if i do)
dA:used-rugs_______pixiv id=683696
I've only ever been confessed too once. Over MSN as it was at the time.
The above post may contain an opinion. Do not consume if alergic.
Mine was a little odd (the relationship has gone the distance and is still going)
But it was simple. We had hung out in the same high school group for a year. She came to me and said simply "I want you to be my first". Ended up being a Casual "friends" relationship for about 2-3 years before moving to boyfriend/girlfriend for 3-4 before moving to engaged for 1-2 and now married for coming up on 6 years.
Goes back to my firm belief in the slow build of relationships. Got a lot of friends that did the 1/2 - 1 year and hitched thing, none of which have worked. Yet strangely, a 4 friends that later broke that off and went back to older flames.
I was confessed to both times, one over a txt and the other one used my best friend to get to me.
I had my 1st love when I was in my 1st year of high school. She confessed too me like a month after school 1st started. She told me she loved everything about me and would I go out with her. I said yes. Funny thing is I was really good friends with a girl she hated and they ended up becoming best friends when she and I started dating, so yea, I thought that was pretty cool.
Dcuo time!
I mostly get confessed to than me confessing to someone..
In my last year of highschool, my friend (guy) confessed to me but not exactly face to face. He confessed to me by having one of my friends (which was his friend too) to tell me he liked me.
In the same year my friend (girl) confessed to me. Every morning I would do colorguard practice in the cafeteria and she would be there too eating breakfast with her friends. Well one morning I went to the restroom and once I came out she came up to me saying she wanted to tell me something. There was no one around, just me and her. I asked her what was it? She blurted out, "I like you!" And without thinking what was going on I said, "I like you too". Her face lit up and asked, "Do you wanna go out?". I said "no", without hesitation. Then she looked down sad and said, "oh, not that way" and she ran off. I stood there dumb founded to what just happened. At the end of the year she asked me again if I wanted to go out with her. I smiled and said no and then she quickly came up to me and kissed my cheek and ran away. It was cute I have to admitt ^^
I had an online friend who confessed when I was in college. The way he confessed to me was through riddles. I told him I'm terrible at riddles but he didn't want to give it away too easy. Then I realized one of the riddles had "I love you" spelt out in each row.
Another online friend confessed to me and this one was on crunchyroll xD. He wanted to tell me something but he was scared to. In a pm message he had in a "spoiler alert" that said he liked me when we first met. So I asked him if he liked me now? He didn't want to answer until later, so week later he sent a message with a "spoiler alert" that said he still likes me now. Actually I liked him too but we didn't do anything about it.. which honestly I don't know why. About two years later I gathered some courage and said I wanted to be his girlfriend. He didn't seem believe me and the next day he asked if I was serious about what I said. I told him I was serious and then week later we went out and are currently still dating xP yayy
Ohh, now I realize everyone who confessed are all younger than me

New York Retailer Making RV Rentals Easier
May 10, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on New York Retailer Making RV Rentals Easier
Using a new online rental form, videos of the available rental units and a streamlined rental process, Johnston RV Country of Rochester, N.Y., is making RV rental much easier, according to a news release.
Online reservations have been the standard for hotels, airlines and car rentals for many years. RV rentals have always been a more personal experience. While personal, friendly help is still available, those who prefer online reservations now have that option at RV Rentals Rochester.
Due to the economy and rising air fare, this year is expected to be a record year for driving vacations.
Many families are turning to RV rentals. Renting an RV avoids trying to cram the entire family into the recently downsized family car.
A recreational vehicle can also save significantly on hotel expenses since the family is bringing their living quarters with them.
Avoiding the latest security hassles at the airports, saving money and being able to spend more quality time with their family have become important new priorities for the average family.
New fuel-efficient recreational vehicles have also added significantly to the trend of returning to a more traditional family vacation.
RV Rentals Rochester has prepared for the increase in rentals by making it easier to confirm a rental using a new online form at http://RVRentalsRochester.com.

My professional and research interests focus around issues of contemporary religious thought. My current concerns are shaped by the effort to bring scientific and post-modern assumptions into dialogue with a renewed interpretation of certain Augustinian themes about human subjectivity, particularly as they were expressed by the medieval Franciscan theologian, Bonaventure.

About Stuey
If Mike Masnick was really trying to control our thoughts there would be no comments here. What I'm seeing here is a lot of debate on the issue. Other people are asked to state their rebuttals, as you were.
If you want you can go find another website that states opinions that are the exact opposite. Those of us who read Tech Dirt like it the way it is.
Go start your own website and spout your own opinions. I'm sure you would find followers who like it too.
I'm way worse than you. I'm apathetic.

Anthrax spores enter the respiratory system when they are inhaled through the nose or mouth. Larger spores may settle in the windpipe (trachea). The immune system reacts by trying to destroy the spores. Some spores may escape and travel to the lymph nodes located in the chest. Smaller spores travel farther down the respiratory tract and invade tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. There, the spores germinate and cause an active bacterial infection.
The anthrax bacteria start multiplying in 1 to 60 days. After the bacteria infect chest tissue, the disease rapidly progresses. Toxins from the bacteria enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, causing severe damage to tissue, lungs, and other organs. The infection is difficult to treat after it enters the bloodstream.

Trek's new Time trial bike – currently named the Speed Concept – has been much in the spotlight over the first week of the Tour de France, with three Astana riders (Armstrong, Contador and Leipheimer) piloting the machine in the Kazakh Team's TTT victory. But there's more to this bike than simply a refinement of the current TTX.
The Speed concept is based on aerodynamic research that's been doing the rounds in automotive circles for over 70 years. We spoke to Tyler Pilger, road product manager at Trek and one of the men closest to the design, and he gave us the lowdown.
The problem with the 3:1 tube profile is that it has a very blunt font end, so we've used technology that's more often seen on high performance and efficiency cars. The Speed Concept is based around a profile known as the Kammtail Virtual Airfoil", Pilger tells us. The Kamm profile (named after the research Wunibald Kamm) uses a much narrower profile but the tail of the airfoil is chopped off after the widest point of the tube.
This creates a virtual wake which mimics the aerodynamic effect of an longer, narrower wing. While true high-speed airfoils use an 8:1 profile The Trek KVH (Kammtail Virtual Foil) is actually derived from a ratio of a little over 4:1 before the truncating of the rear of the foil. "We found this to give the best low speed performance and it allows us to still design a bike that's fully UCI legal", says Pilger. "We're confident it's UCI compliant in every aspect: frame, handlebars, seatpost. Everything".
The concept may be a new one in cycling but it has a 70 year legacy in automotive design. Kamm's research in the 1930s was quickly taken up by motor manufacturers looking to produce shorter vehicles with good aerodynamics. The Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammback) lists the 1940 BMW 328 "Mille Miglia" Kamm coupé as the first car to use the shape, and there are plenty of other notable machines in the list, including Ford's GT40 and the Citroen CX.
The frontal aerodynamics aren't the main bonus though: the Kamm profile is particularly good in yaw situations (crosswinds), and Pilger is keen to point out that for a bike, that's nearly all of the time. "At 20mph with a 10mph sidewind you're already at 26° of yaw", he explains, "and a bike runs at 10° of yaw or more for most of the time it's being ridden. The benchmark numbers for head-on drag are interesting for comparison, but in the real world it's the yaw numbers that matter: in a yaw situation the Kamm Tail design just gets better and better".
Trek are confident that out on the road, with a rider and crosswinds, the Speed Concept is the slipperiest bike there is. "We started out running the tube shapes through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) on the computers and then progressed to the wind tunnel", says Pilger. "Just the difference in drag in the downtube alone is phenomenal".
The frame design is the main innovation but there's plenty of other touches to shave tiny amounts of drag. The cabling is entirely internal: the only visible cable is the one that feeds the rear mech. The front brake is also completely integrated, forming part of the fork structure, and the DuoTap sensor port in the chainstay (the same as the new Madone) completely hides the computer sensor from view - and wind. On top of all the aerodynamic benefits the new frame is also 200g lighter and 17% stiffer than the TTX, both significant numbers.
And if you want one, will you be able to buy one? Well, yes. But not yet. "It will go into production", Pilger assures us, "but it's not a 2010 bike. We couldn't get the new Madone and the Speed Concept through the whole cycle, there's just not enough time. we will be getting the bike to market as quickly as possible but we're not publishing a date yet". Hopefully we'll see it in the 2011 range, but it may well be later. By then, of course, we'll no doubt be seeing the Pros on something even faster...

Dry Tortugas Flightseeing
One of the newer ways to visit the Dry tortugas is by flight seeing floatplane, now being offered by Key West Seaplane adventures. Rather than spend hours on a ferry you get to the national park in a short 40 minute plane ride over the marine sanctuary, one of the worlds most beautiful aquatic landscapes. (The first flight arrives hours before the ferry, giving you the island all to yourselves) Call our front desk to book or get information on this or any other key west activity during your stay. Check out these photos of one of the keys best activities.
Dry Tortugas Tours and Flightseeing
One of the most unique activities that can be done from Key West is touring the Dry Tortugas National Park by boat or floatplane. Located about 70 miles west of Key West, these islands are brimming with natural beauty and history. First discovered by Ponce De Lion and named for the turtles he found there, the word dry was later added because of the lack of fresh water available on the islands. The main landing on the islands is on Garden Key, which hosts Fort Jefferson. The fort was never completed after thirty years of construction, but still was used as a union outpost during the civil war, and then as a prison where Dr. Samuel Mudd was imprisoned for treating John Wilkes Booth. These small uninhabited keys are one of the most amazing landscapes in the continental united states, demonstrating what the keys looked like before human habitation.

Senate Lets Copyright Lobby Set Up Shop In Senate Building During PROTECT IP Debate
from the how-about-some-bias-with-your-coffee? dept
The exhibit is an opportunity to showcase for lawmakers and visitors to the U.S. Capitol Complex the importance of copyright to creators across America, by focusing on people behind the lens, sharing stories about the images, and helping viewers understand the investment and commitment made by photographers capturing our nation's many stories.I'm curious if the Senate allows such other totally biased parties to set up exhibits like that during debate on other bills. How about pharmaceutical lobbyists setting up an "educational" nursing station in the Senate, just to show the "importance" of protecting pharma. And I'm sure the banks would love to set up an "educational" bank vault in the rotunda during Wall Street reform hearings. How could anyone in the Senate see such a biased effort as being okay?

Dallas Cowboys Quarter-Season Grades: Defensive Line/Linebackers
Jonathan Bales
Part I of my Quarter-Season Grades dealt with the offensive line. Today's article is in reference to a Cowboys' front seven which has been allowed to freelance quite a bit more this season than last. Let's take a look at how it has worked out thus far. . .
Quarter-Season Review: Defensive Line
- Jay Ratliff
Last year, Ratliff totaled 26 pressures despite sacking the quarterback just four times. This season, he is on pace for the same four sacks, but 10 less pressures. He's also tallied only six tackles. Rob Ryan's scheme shouldn't hurt Ratliff, so these numbers are a little concerning.
- Sean Lissemore
In 52 snaps, Lissemore has just two less tackles than Ratliff. His pressure rate isn't outstanding (two), but he hasn't made any critical errors either. The best sign is that Lissemore is improving.
- Kenyon Coleman
Coleman's three pressures already topped the two from Marcus Spears in 2010. Of course, this is a new year with a new coordinator, and Spears already has four pressures in 2011. When you combine Coleman's lack of pass rush with his six tackles, you get a pedestrian start for the veteran.
- Jason Hatcher
The numbers on Hatcher are a great example of why you cannot always trust your memory when it relates to grading players. Prior to looking at the statistics, I thought Hatcher was having a super pass-rushing season. My memory was likely skewed by the 49ers game in which Hatcher recorded two sacks. In reality, Hatcher has only one pressure to go along with those two sacks. His seven tackles is solid for a defensive end, though, and he's played the run quite well.
- Marcus Spears
Four tackles, four pressures, no sacks. If Spears isn't stuffing the run, he isn't of much use.
Quarter-Season Review: Linebackers
Outside Linebackers
- DeMarcus Ware
With a league-leading 17 pressures, five sacks, and three quarterback hits, Ware is on pace for one of his biggest seasons to date. Actually, he is getting a pressure on 12.8% of his rushes–up from 11.0% in 2010.
- Anthony Spencer
Spencer is proof that sack totals determine perception. In reality, Spencer is displaying the exact same performance as in 2010–a solid, but not great season in which the majority of analysts crucified him. Now that Spencer is on pace for 12 sacks, he's finally "turning the corner," right? Not really, since his seven pressures give him a 6.7% pressure rate which is nearly identical to his 6.8% rate from last season. Spencer is also on pace for 48 tackles–four less than in 2010.
- Victor Butler
I really thought Butler would see a significant increase in snaps this season, but that doesn't appear as though it will be the case. With only 48 snaps thus far, Butler is on pace to play just a handful more than in 2010. Despite his lack of playing time, Butler has put up a sack and three pressures. He's only rushed the passer 34 times, so his three pressures mean he is reaching the quarterback 8.8% of the time. He doesn't have any tackles, but he's also defended the run just seven plays.
Inside Linebackers
- Sean Lee
We don't need numbers to tell us that Sean Lee has been the Cowboys' second-best player on defense (and perhaps the team) this season. His 26 tackles leads the team by far, and he's missed just two of them (7.1% missed tackle rate). Lee even has three pressures, two interceptions, and two passes defended. If there is an area of his game that must improve, it is actually pass coverage. At a certain point, though, you have tot throw out his "awkwardness" in coverage because he just keeps making plays.
- Bradie James
You probably noticed James' decreased snap count, but did you realize he has played just one more snap than Keith Brooking? James is a liability in coverage, cannot effectively rush the passer, and has just five tackles. His days in Dallas are coming to an end.
- Keith Brooking
One tackle in 93 snaps.
A few notes before looking at my grades:
- The run defense and pass rush grades are weighted evenly for the defensive linemen, weighted 3:2 in favor of the pass rush for the outside linebackers, and weighted 3:2 in favor of run defense for the linebackers.
- Coverage is normally a component of the outside linebacker grades, but there haven't been enough snaps for the sample size of plays to be great enough to draw conclusions. DeMarcus Ware has been in coverage on just 25 snaps, for example.

The legend of the LDAC ants
August 2, 2012
By: Hannah Van Ree
U.S. Army Cadet Command Public Affairs
The forest floor of Joint Base Lewis-McChord is alive, alive with ants. Cadets see for themselves the true power of nature as they maneuver around the mini highways of moving sticks and pine needles during their base-wide training. The Squad Situational Training exercises (SSTX) and patrol (PSTX) lanes are where Cadets get an up-close encounter with the six-legged legends of the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC).
If Cadets hadn't been briefed on the enormous ant hills prevalent in the tactics training area, they might have been concerned.
All Cadets are briefed before they conduct a mission about the possible environmental hazards, and the ants are one of them, said Maj. John Brauneis, the tactics safety Officer. Read more of this post

When Boniek García first came to the Houston Dynamo, one name was on his mind as a possible Honduran companion: Alexander López. Friday, 14 months after García's arrival, the pair stood shoulder-to-shoulder on the Dynamo's training ground.
After López obtained his visa Thursday morning to complete a reported $1 million transfer, the pair loosened up together, paired up in passing drills, and stuck close, all the time with a smile on their faces as the pair is reunited once again.
"I've always wanted to be here and Boniek being here is just icing on the cake," López told the media through a translator. "It's someone I look up to. For him to come here and do well here and to talk to him and tell me that about the level of play here was the final icing on the cake."
López is being brought into Houston as a player who can help now. The 21-year-old will be counted on to bring the type of playmaking skills that brought him to the Dynamo's attention.
"We didn't just bring him to show him off to [the media] and then let him go away," head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "He's going to play some important minutes for us down the stretch. He's a good player and I think we'll see more of that as the days go on. He's got to get more acclimated to the team and the weather."
Helping him with that acclimation process is where having García, who counseled both the Dynamo and López on the move, by his side again will pay off. Their relationship resembles that of brothers. García took López under his wing while with Olimpia, helping the talented youngster work his way through the club's system and into the Honduran national team, and the expectation is that he can do it again in MLS.
"[He'll need] a lot of commitment," García told reporters through a translator about what López needs to do to transition. "A lot of sacrifice and to be able to play at the same level as his teammates. ... I know the type of player he is. We're going to need to help him to adjust, help to understand what Dom wants from him on the field and hopefully he'll do great things."
Interestingly, the reunion nearly didn't happen. López nearly ended up in Norway, confirming Friday that a club there—reportedly Rosenborg—was in negotiations to take his career to Europe.
Fate, however, favored the Dynamo, as the talks with the Norwegian club fell through and Houston was the next team to table a serious offer for the young playmaker.
Now in Houston with a familiar and smiling face, López has a chance to take the next step in his career that he always wanted. As he does, García will again be there to help him along the way.
"That kind of relationship goes back to our days at Olimpia where I kind of mentored him and brought him under my wing," García said. "Here at the Dynamo, the situation's no different. Now the fun part begins. Now it's time for him to come in and carry his weight and do good things for the club."

Center Penny Jones scored a game-high and career-high 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds in 21 minutes, but the Lady Bisons fell short of victory as Stetson won 63-61 in Atlantic Sun competition Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena.
"Stetson is a very physical and quick team," said Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett. "It is hard for us to simulate that in practice because we aren't that quick."
Katie Beth Pate pulled down 11 rebounds and blocked three shots for the Lady Bisons, who were out-rebounded 43-42.
The Lady Bisons trailed 31-28 at the half. The biggest lead for the Lady Bisons in the first half was eight points (17-9) with 12:18 left on a lay-up by Kaleigh Gossman.
Stetson, sparked by Nefertiti Walker who finished with 20 points, chipped away at the Lady Bisons first half lead. There were eight lead changes in the half.
One of the keys were seven blocked shots by Stetson.
"We have to do a better job of finishing around the basket," Bennett said. "They got a lot of blocks. We have to finish our plays inside even somebody is hitting us. In the second half we made some adjustments in the physical part of the game."
In the second half, Stetson scored the first five points to open up their own eight-point lead (36-28) at18:23 on a 3-pointer by Walker. The Lady Bisons would rally on a series of lay-ups by Jones and Gossman to cut the Stetson lead to 37-36 with 14:53 remaining.
A lay-up by Julie Martin at14:04 gave the Lady Bisons a lead. Stetson would twice tie the Lady Bisons before taking a 49-47 lead at 7:53 on a field goal by Walker.
A 3-pointer from the top of the arc by Jones put Lipscomb back up 52-51 at5:33. Setson responded with a 3-pointer by JoAnn Smith, her only field goal of the game, to take a 54-52 lead at5:10. Stetson never trailed the rest of the way.
Lynn Roller's 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Lady Bisons closed out the game.
Janene Maclin finished with 15 for Stetson. Kristy Brown, one of the top players in the A-Sun. scored only five points and grabbed only five rebounds.
"If you have told me we would hold Kristy Brown to five points and five rebounds I would have said we were going to win," Bennett said.
The loss ended a 12-game home court winning streak for the Lady Bisons. It was only their second loss in the A-Sun. The Lady Bisons 10-5 overall, 7-3 in the conference. Stetson is 7-7 overall, 4-3 in the A-Sun..

TIFFIN, OH. – Charlie Huff placed fourth at the 2014 NCAA Midwest Regionals this Saturday (Mar. 1) to lead the Coker wrestling team to a 13th place finish. With a fourth place finish at 133 in the region, Huff has now advanced the NCAA Championships starting Friday, March 14th.
Three wrestlers for Coker qualified for day two of the Regional Championships, with Huff being the first. In Huff's first match he was able to defeat Joseph Her of Wisconsin-Parkside by a score of 5-1. He then edged out Zak Hale of Anderson in a 4-2 overtime battle, which punched his ticket to the NCAA Championships and guaranteed him a fourth place finish. Huff then lost a tough 5-1 match to Brenden Murphy of McKendree in his last session of the day.
Both Robert Parland (197) and Austin Akins (285) advanced to day two for Coker, but unfortunately were eliminated after their first match.
The University of Indianapolis finished first in the region, followed by McKendree University, and Newberry College.

I'm proud of having a little baby daughter who will have a brother or sister in a few months. The journey of parenthood is the one I am most proud of. It is the greatest and most rewarding challenge, and a realization of my full potential as a mother. Children are the greatest treasure of life.
I have also just finished the biggest academic achievement of my life – a PhD in physiology and hormones. This has been a lot of effort both before after my first was born. There were a lot of difficulties, but with understanding supervisors and supportive colleagues I have been able to complete this work. But please, just call me Ursula J
I'm so lucky to have a husband who cares so much about his family. And to have a mum , dad, and sisters who provide a stoic team of support. I am also blessed with an unusual assortment of friends each unique and diverse. So many different countries, so many different beliefs – but one thing is clear, they are all really good people and I'm proud to know them.
Lastly but not least, I'm so happy to have written and illustrated my first children's picture book which has been dedicated to my children. I'm proud to have sisters (including a twin) who share my enthusiasm for writing and drawing amongst other things. These are some things I'm most proud of.
Would anyone like to share your mother's pride?

Pitchfork EOY 2012
Well, it's not here just yet but it's the one that normally generates most chatter so yeah, might as well get in nice & early before the shitstorm of bickering begins.
Anyone wanna offer up predictions on tracks/albums? While the streamlining of content w/advertising means the lists are fairly representative of the scores awarded, there are usually a few curveballs - James Blake's three EPs in 2010 merging for a top 10 place, Destroyer landing #2 spot last year and so forth. There are certain patterns that emerge and it makes the whole thing far, FAR more predictable than DiS, for example, but every year there are a handful of surprises.
put this prediction down in mid-late October, let's see how it stands up
1/ Frank Ocean
2/ Kendrick Lamar
3/ Grizzly Bear
4/ Godspeed You! Black Emperor
5/ Japandroids
6/ Fiona Apple
7/ Killer Mike
8/ Tame Impala
9/ Swans
10/ Chromatics
11/ Beach House
12/ Cloud Nothings
13/ Death Grips
14/ Burial (if counted, I suspect it will be)
15/ Ty Segall Band
16/ John Talabot
17/ Twin Shadow
18/ Andy Stott
19/ Dirty Projectors
20/ Grimes
21/ Julia Holter
22/ Spiritualized
23/ Perfume Genius
24/ Actress
25/ El-P
26/ Jessie Ware
27/ Flying Lotus
28/ Converge
29/ Motion Sickness of Time Travel
30/ Schoolboy Q
as for tracks, it's usually harder to call
Pyramids looks likely for no.1 although one really notable trend is that the consensus 'best' track from whatever ends up as AOTY usually gets no.2. Case in point: White Winter Hymnal, Runaway, Holocene etc. but I can't see what else would be getting the nod?
songs I reckon will feature in the top 20:
Cartoons & Cereal / Swimming Pools (maybe both)
Apocalypse Dreams
Hey Jane
Gun Has No Trigger
The Full Retard
Call Me Maybe (likely near the top)
Don't Like (although the fallout from the gun range incident might exclude this)
Wave Goodbye
Sleeping Ute / Yet Again
The House That Heaven Built
Wasted Days
1. Channel ORANGE
2. Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
3. Visions
4. Allelujah!
5. Kill For Love
Or something, but i've hardly read pitchfork at all this since the redesign, so not sure what else they might've lovved.
You got their top 3 rated albums in there...
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
final bit of procrastination / borderline autism from me on this front
last year I think 6 or 7 BNM'ed records went AWOL from both the main list and Honorable Mentions. I recall Smith Westerns, A$AP Rocky, The Antlers and Washed Out all getting the shaft, none of which I would have expected at all. wonder who it might be this year?
having quickly scanned over their little collection of all the Best New Music albums, I'm gonna have a stab at Dum Dum Girls, Passion Pit, Wild Nothing and Frankie Rose for those that get unceremoniously dumped from view
probably footing the bill
or thereabouts
Passion Pit more likely to scrape in ahead of Wild Nothing, for me
If only because of all that cover story focus on them.
Frankie Rose can be found on the Honorable Mentions list
there's some crackers in there

actually nahhhh
I got a swimming pool full of
liquor and they
d i i i i i i i i i i i i i i v e
in it
pool full of a liquor imma
d i i i i i i i i i i i i i i v e

(how pony is 'Compton', tho, seriously)
I may recast my vote to
sing about me I'm dying of thirstSCROTUM this'd this
Personall y
Swimming Pools > Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe
Money Trees > Swimming Pools >... > BDKMV
BDKMV is my favourite track on the album
so there. I'm well happy. THANKS P4K!Severed799 this'd this
Its my 2nd favorite.
MAAD City is the best though, based on facts and logic, natch.
1. Swimming Pools
2. The Art of Peer Pressure
3. Backseat Freestyle
4. Bitch don't kill my vibe
Oblivion is a cracking single.
What's most striking is the amount of stuff I haven't heard :/
Really really REALLY glad we live in a world where the word bitch has not only been normalized
But seen to be something totally acceptable.Dinohead86, Lililololaure, and bornin69 this'd this
We live in a world on two different axles.
Or something.
I think female artists
should go for dickhead or something like that - looking forward to hear about 'Dickheads, don't kill my vibe'.
I'm absolutely with you on this Sean
I hate the word and it seriously reduces my enjoyment of some brilliant music.
In the first 51 places Ocean and Lamar have 3 tracks each.
very surprised...
...by LIARS being so low. thought they would have been all over that.
Glad Holy Other placed in the Honourable Mentions list
Didn't score high enough to be top 50, but it's one of my favourites this year.
finally someone noticed them. and it was fucking Pitchfork of all people.
not sure what i mean by that. nevertheless, well done Pitchfork.
that honourable mentions list is properly brilliant, will probably be better than their top 20.
A couple of the very best albums of the year in there, and plenty of other exceptionally good ones.SCROTUM and bruised_blood this'd this
they've developed a habit of doing this
no idea whyincandenza_ and pichaelmarker this'd this
Laurel Halo, Liars, Holy Other and Daughn Gibson all relegated to the sidelines?
LIARS! Really?
one of the most boring songs lists they've ever done
also, why did they stop adding funny comments under the bad album covers thing? it's not nearly as fun when it's just a page filled with them.
it feels like they're trying to become ultra professional and want to be mojo or some shit. and i still hate the website design.
and why did they not put NSFW in the link?
just had a massive cock come up on my screen at work.
well, looking back at my top 20 from mid-October, only John Talabot has shown up thus far
but this year more than any has seen 50-21 filled with non-BNM albums: Action Bronson, Sharon Van Etten, Peaking Lights, Future, Cat Power, even Rustie's Essential Mix (?!) plus a few others
given that TNGHT and Dum Dum Girls got in with EPs I assume 'Kindred' will, and that all the other records on that early prediction are a lock (*maybe* not Twin Shadow but I'm pretty certain), that means there's one slot open to be contested by quite a lot of big BNM'ed names. Bat For Lashes, Perfume Genius, Wild Nothing, Converge, Jessie Ware, Passion Pit, Nas, Baroness, Mount Eerie and The Shins
I'm almost certain it'll be Jessie Ware
definitely agree with Bat for Lashes
especially after they ran that big piece on the album.
They're really pushing the definition of 'album' this year
Rustie's Essential Mix? Okaaay.
yeah I lol'd when I saw they reviewed it earlier in the year and gave it 8.1
I'm all for it mixes rule, they're often loads better than albums. Its odd tho yeah.littlebirds, Antelope, and no-class this'd this
They might as well put out a list of their favourite mixes then
Even Gorrila vs. Bear had one this year. ELECTRONIC MUSIC HAS ARRIVED.
has to be them compensating for not having Glass Swords on last year's lists
or even Honourable Mentions
Yeah what happened there?!
Had the Rustie buzz not started properly until early this year or something?
I'm glad Hot Chip got mentioned
Because I'm bloody sick of everyone else failing to notice that they're amazing...FlintyFoxy and automatik this'd this
- orangejuice this'd this
wellity well well
not quite as I had called it after all
Pretty good top 20
About 5 that would make my top 20 Ty Segall, Burial, Andy Stott, Grizzly Bear & Tame Impala... nice work Pitchfork
Kendrick Lamar no.1
Probably the best hip hop album I've heard since Madvillainy so good shout I say
- automatik this'd this
In a great year for hip-hop
I'm totally baffled at all the love for this. Don't get it at all.
- furio and Severed799 this'd this
Knew it'd be between those two, unfortunately. And they picked the wrong one to come top!
interesting top 20.
good to see andy stott, burial and bat for lashes so high. lol at beach house. must check out that fiona apple album
as I scrolled down to the inevitable
I envisioned a Gareth Gates/Will Young scenario, except I knew that the vanilla option would win over the interesting option. (not talking about the sexuality thing, here).
but NO!! :D haha yesss!
totally agree with their top 2,
in my opinion channel orange edges it but theyre by far the best - and only really stellar releases i've heard this year
glad there's no weirdo emotional breakdowns that usually occur in pitchfork threads, let's keep it that way
Fairly decent list
Think they're suffering a bit of an identity crisis now, a kind of 'jack of all trades, master of none' publication. Where they used to be excellent at spotting indie records & trends, we get the bizarre top 10 inclusion of Beach House & Grizzly Bear albums that are perfectly decent, but would struggle to get anyone particularly excited.
Guess it doesn't help that it wasn't a particularly strong year for indie rock... Nice to see Fiona Apple high, and Kendrick pip Frank O's more patchy effort to the top.Puds this'd this
I'm probably sounding like a stuck record but
No Perfume Genius? Anywhere? Did I miss it?incandenza_ this'd this
In fact I've just realised that four of my top five aren't in there anywhere
The other three absentees being Dan Deacon, Mount Eerie and Tall Ships. Tall Ships probs aren't their thing but I'm surprised at the other two.
I actually wish Pitchfork was more indie. Wow.
I'd have thought Andy Stott and Burial would be higher...
Part of me also thought they'd merge Kindred with Truant/Rough Sleeper to seem really 'current' but in the end I'm glad they didn't as they deserve to stand separately. God, Burial's had an amazing year with those 5 songs.
anyone had a gander at the always interesting staff lists?
not as much of a gold mine as in previous years, but then they only show the top tens now.
<3 Andy Beta, though.
nice pick of the otherwise scandalously overlooked Mirroring in Mark Richardson's tracks. also love him and Brandon Stosuy for putting 'Set it Right' by HTDW in their track top tens.
I was going to lay in to newer writers for ruining the charts, but it's actually the old guard who have the most homogenous individual charts. obviously Schreiber's chart is pretty axiomatic. Frank Ocean at number one in both of his, though. hahaha.
I do miss the old P4K, though. before RS left the dirty work to his underlings.

Bigfoot Biomedical is dedicated to making lives healthier, safer, and easier by enabling optimized insulin delivery solutions accessible for all.
Our Story Begins...
Are we ever going to sleep again?
In 2011, the five-year-old son of a Wall Street quant trader was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). With no cure in sight, the diagnosis meant a lifetime of multiple daily insulin injections or clunky medical devices, analyzing every meal, countless blood tests, a constant fear of seizures, and an end to sleeping through the night.
But this father was unlike many. This dad hacked into an off-the-shelf insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, wrote an algorithm to automatically dose insulin in the right amount at the right time, and married these pieces together in a companion mobile app - effectively creating an automated insulin delivery system.
Since 2013, his wife, also a person with T1D, and his son have been living as though diabetes barely exists. They eat, play, and work without the distress of dealing with diabetes. This mystery man, dubbed "Bigfoot" by the media, and his code, fine-tuned by more than 50,000 hours of real-world use, formed the foundation of Bigfoot Biomedical.
Our Vision for Diabetes Management
At Bigfoot, we envision a world where life with diabetes is easier. We want to add sleep, reduce fear and worry, and increase the time that all people with insulin-requiring diabetes spend living a healthy life. To do that, we have to ask ourselves "How do you reduce the diabetes burden?"
More Than Just a Device
We are drawing a circle around everything that it takes to manage insulin-requiring diabetes. We think about the complexity of diabetes therapies and how we can design simpler solutions that more people can actually access. We consider the way a healthcare provider prescribes a therapy and how we can eliminate hundreds of unnecessary steps. We think about how a therapy might deliver value to an insurance payer so that we can create a sustainable business.
From one end of the spectrum to the other, we are thinking of ways to reduce the pain points of managing diabetes. We are designing comprehensive solutions of device + software + service to help people with diabetes administer insulin more safely, whether through injection or infusion, and access our service more cost-effectively.

I am wondering if Adobe has any specialized software to develop technical manuals and then manage revisions to those manuals over time. I know Indesign will work for the development and export to PDF etc.
The challange is making changes within the document after the initial publication and then tracking a list of effective pages and updating the effective date of the revised pages etc.
Anyone have any workflow suggestions or specific software that would work for this application??

SPRINGFIELD – The union representing Illinois prison workers is denouncing what it says is a return of "circuit riders" – hardcore, sometimes brutal inmates shipped from prison to prison to keep them out of trouble – after prisoners suspected in an attack last week were transferred to less-secure lockups, The Associated Press has learned.
In a letter Wednesday to Department of Corrections Director S.A. "Tony" Godinez, a regional director for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees demanded an end to transfers until Godinez negotiates safety concerns with the union.
The AP obtained a copy of the letter which traces several violent incidents to the closure of the Tamms high-security prison that housed violent troublemakers and gang leaders, and what the union claims are "deplorable, crowded conditions" in the prisons.
A Godinez spokeswoman said recent inmate transfers are temporary and routine during internal investigations into trouble inside prison walls.
After one incident last week, AFSCME regional director Eddie Caumiant said as many as 15 inmates implicated in an attack on two Menard maximum-security prison officers and a chaplain were moved to "lower-rated facilities" accompanied by no information on the risks they pose to receiving institutions and their employees.
"Despite assurances to the contrary from the state during the litigation around the Tamms closure, it appears you are returning to the risky, discarded practice of treating the most dangerous offenders in the system as 'circuit riders' ... ," Caumiant wrote. "As you know, this practice proved so ineffective and unsafe that the state built a dedicated facility for these offenders rather than continue it."
It's especially dangerous, Caumiant said, when the prisons are overcrowded and have too few employees guarding them. Illinois' adult correctional facilities have more than 49,000 inmates in space designed for 33,000.
Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano said some Menard inmates were transferred, but to secure segregation units in other facilities, not to general population wards.
"It is typical when multiple offenders are involved in an incident to separate them while the department conducts its investigation ... ," Solano said. "Segregation units at all facilities are governed by the same department rules. The department only moves inmates into facilities or units where appropriate security can be maintained."
Prior to the 1998 opening of Tamms to house "the worst of the worst" – violent offenders or gang leaders exiled in nearly around-the-clock isolation to sever communication lines and reduce other troubles – the separation occurred through "Temporary Disciplinary Detention."
Past DOC officials say participants earned the moniker "circuit riders" because they didn't stay in one penitentiary for more than a month.
AFSCME lost a lawsuit last year against Gov. Pat Quinn to halt Tamms' closure.
Quinn said the state couldn't afford the expensive prison in a budget crisis and human rights advocates protested the treatment of inmates there.
Since then, in addition to the chapel assault at the maximum-security penitentiary in Menard, a Pontiac prison inmate beat a guard so severely he needed facial reconstructive surgery and another prisoner at Menard died in what the local prosecutor says is a suspected murder by another inmate. Some prison employees claim inmates are more inclined toward violence because they no longer face the threat of a Tamms trip.
Caumiant's letter said it's a violation of Corrections' administrative guidelines to move maximum-security inmates to facilities with lower levels of security.
"What's more," Caumiant said, "it is the height of irresponsibility to put employees of the receiving facilities in the position of taking inmates with no immediate knowledge of the violent crimes they have committed against employees and other inmates."
Solano said Corrections is reviewing Caumiant's letter, has met with the union on the matter and "will continue meeting to further discuss their concerns."

My only thought is that they seem really happy after the roadblock, and the comment in the car about not being stupid could be after that.But by the beach, that's a pretty sad face...are they behind? know it? having trouble? Any chance the Pitstop could be where Kelley and Christie are at night? Sure looks Pitstopy, or guess they could be talking to another team...
Thanks Puddin...If Marisa and Brooke are done with the roadblock, I'll say that Anthony and Stephanie are dunzo this week.
Any chance the Pitstop could be where Kelley and Christie are at night? Sure looks Pitstopy, or guess they could be talking to another team...
haha...yupI'm gonna say Anthony and Stephanie get evicted tomorrow...but then again it could also be about Tina.

There must have been a trick to get to right answer, but it escaped everyone, so the easiest way to solve the problem was just to write everything down and read it back to the painter. Phil did hint that the way to solve the problem was to ape the locals and just lay back and relax. But there must have been a way to solve it without having to write it all down. Any ideas
