The Outreach office is committed to providing the community with information about Southwestern College programs, available services, enrollment procedures and academic opportunities available at Southwestern College.
The Outreach office conducts an Early Admission Program (EAP) for all interested high school seniors. The program allows high school seniors and adult schools to apply online, take the assessment, view the online orientation and register for fall semester before continuing SWC students in July. EAP prepares high school seniors for the transition from high school to college.

A tour of the Southwestern College campus is a great way for prospective students, parents and/or groups to see our beautiful campus. A general tour of the campus or a visit to a specific academic department can be arranged.
We're here to help you! It is our job to connect you with the college, create awareness and generate excitement about our programs to help you reach your educational and career goals.
The Outreach office promotes and supports higher education through Outreach activities such as:

The new additions are:
Jonelle Cathey-Harper (The Woodlands, Texas): Jonelle has been a member of five District Championship teams at The Woodlands High School, has placed fourth in the Texas state meet in the 4x200m relay and has run on a 4x400m relay that went 3:46, placed second in the region and qualified for state. Although primarily used on elite relays, Jonelle's PRs are 12.3 100m, 25.5 200m and a 58.6 400m relay split. Jonelle will study Political Science at Lipscomb. She chose Lipscomb because she felt it is an incredible place to grow mentally, physically and spiritually.
Julia Shrewsberry (Lake Placid, Fla.): Julia will be a redshirt freshman transfer from Florida State University. A multi-sport athlete participating in volleyball, soccer and weightlifting at Lake Placid High School, she was a hurdle specialist in track. Julia won the district championship in the 100 hurdles all four years of high school. She also won the district 300m hurdles in 2007 and 2008. She was the team captain for her volleyball and track teams her senior year, and was track & field MVP three years. She earned numerous awards for all sports while at Lake Placid, most notably several hustle awards for her strong work ethic. Her PRs are 16.10 for the 100m hurdles and 49.71 for the 300m hurdles. An honors student, Julia will study Communications at Lipscomb. She chose Lipscomb because she wanted a strong Christian environment and she fell in love with the people and the campus.
Natalie Stewart (Nashville, Tenn.): Natalie primarily ran the hurdles and triple jumped for Nashville Christian School; however she has posted marks in nearly every event and will likely try the heptathlon at Lipscomb. Her PRs in the hurdles and triple jump are 16.61 100m hurdles, 49.49 300m hurdles, and 33-0 for the triple jump. She is the school record holder for both hurdle events. She will study Music at Lipscomb. She chose Lipscomb because it has all the opportunities she was looking for in a college.
Sadie Stone (Louisville, Ky.): Sadie won a Kentucky state championship in the 100m hurdles this track season. She also finished second with her 4x200m relay team and third in the 300m hurdles. Sadie was Regional Champion in both hurdle races as well. This track season she was named a team captain and was homecoming queen for the Christian Academy of Louisville. An honors student, Sadie is undecided about what she will study at Lipscomb. She chose Lipscomb because she loved the campus, atmosphere, city of Nashville and the people at Lipscomb.
Oneisha Smith (Chapel Hill, Ga.): Oneisha signed with the Lipscomb University basketball team and has indicated she would like to participate in the high jump for Lipscomb after the basketball season is over. She was the Georgia state champion in the high jump this year with a leap of 5-8.

In essence, PROTON aspires to become a regionally competitive automotive company, creating value by earning customers' trust through the quality and innovation of our products and people.
As I review the previous financial year, PROTON has demonstrated to its stakeholders its ability to transform into a viable and profitable automotive company in spite of our numerous challenges. To ensure that we are able to sustain the improved results, we must stay focused in our pursuit of global standards of excellence in all areas of our business.
While we have indeed achieved notable progress, there is still plenty of room for improvement as PROTON intends to become a world-class car manufacturer. To enable this vision to become a reality, we will continue to drive initiatives that will enhance the quality of our products and services domestically and regionally.
Our improved performance for the year under review was the result of us achieving our short-term objectives and targets, which are themselves stepping stones towards reaching our long-term goals.
As highlighted in the previous annual report, PROTON's focus for our 2008 financial year would be in the core areas of product, quality, cost efficiency and distribution network. We have been consistent in this strategy during the year under review and this has reaped positive results for the Group.
It is vital that all levels of the Group are committed to working hand-in-hand to further enhance our operations, processes, value and quality to enable PROTON to make greater strides, and thereby grow from strength to strength in the years to come.

#17 looks like it could be either Strike Witches or Mayo Chiki, I'm not sure myself, very similar character designs.
#6 and #7 are indeed To Heart, but from the second series, To Heart 2. (Not to be confused with the second season of the first series. )
#9 Ao no Exorcist, I think?
#20 is Weiß Survive.

CERF in Action - Rapid Response
CERF allocates funds through the Underfunded Emergencies window
The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) has allocated an unprecedented US$175 million to neglected emergencies in 2013. Twelve humanitarian emergencies received some $100 million in the first underfunded emergencies round in January 2013. Another thirteen hidden emergencies were provided some $75 million through the second underfunded emergencies round in July 2013.
The Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, selected the following countries to benefit from the underfunded emergencies window: Bangladesh ($2 million), Chad ($8 million), Colombia ($3.5 million), Democratic People Republic of Korea ($6 million), Djibouti ($3 million), Haiti ($1.5 million), Madagascar ($3 million), Mauritania ($4 million), Myanmar ($3 million), Niger ($8 million), Pakistan ($10 million), Philippines ($3 million) and Somalia ($20 million).
CERF provides $7 million to DPRK
The Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocated some US$100 million for the first underfunded emergencies window in January 2013 to boost humanitarian operations in 12 neglected humanitarian emergencies.
The following countries have received allocations: Afghanistan ($17 million), Algeria ($3 million), Burundi ($3 million), the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ($7 million), Djibouti ($3 million), Eritrea ($3 million), Ethiopia ($17 million), Haiti ($6 million), Liberia ($3 million), Sudan ($17 million), Uganda ($4 million) and Yemen ($17 million).
CERF's underfunded emergencies window aims to even out funding disparities and highlight hidden emergencies. In this way, the countries were selected on the basis of the severity of humanitarian needs and an analysis of funding levels.
A second round of allocations from CERF's underfunded emergencies window will follow in July 2013.

Kristina and Karissa Shannon
They first appear ten minutes into the movie, and they are actually the thing that wakens you up, since you will likely fall into a stupor. They will do a pole dancing routine which is hilarious, sexy and innocent, all at the same time. And they do another routine, 10 minutes after the first one. I actually learn that they are Playboy bunnies, unsurprisingly. They're quite lucky to snag a few minutes in this movie. Their presence and pole dancing kinda perks you up since the pacing of this movie is really, really slow!

It looks like the LineTokenizer was removed from the FlatFileItemReader in 2.0, based on the updated documentation (http://static.springframework.org/sp...temReader.html ), but the User Guide and samples still seem to say that's how I tokenize lines in 2.0 (ref http://static.springframework.org/sp...s.html#d0e4219 and http://static.springframework.org/sp....html#football ). When I try to use it as the user guide and samples show, I get the following exception:
Here's the reader I'm creating:
I've looked all over, and can only find this as the method of doing what I want to do - grab the lines from the file and tokenize them. How do I do this now in 2.0? What am I missing?

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Ruff Rider
Your first mission for Dwayne involves his girlfriend and her new man, a guy who apparently ratted out Dwayne and was one of the reasons he went to prison in the first place. He's really melancholy, talking about how he's tainted and no one will roll with him anymore. Niko is a nice guy, though (right?) and wants to help him out, so he agrees to go speak with them and get Dwayne's money back that he was sending her while in the joint.
From Dwayne's apartment on Vespucci Circus, you have to head to the far southern end of Algonquin, on the corner of Columbus Avenue and Emerald Street. It's a bit of a drive, since Algonquin is such a long borough (though not very wide). So, take in all of the sights of the elite, beautiful Algonquin as you head to Chinatown. Once you arrive at your destination, ditch your boosted car and prepare for the next leg of your mission.
As you approach the arcade, you'll run into Dwayne's ex-girlfriend and her new man. The guy immediately busts out an uzi and runs off to his motorcycle, leaving you to deal with the girl at first. Here, you can make a choice. You can either kill her (which is extremely tempting, naturally), or you can run off, letting her live as you go after the guy instead. Either way, you're going to have to do the latter, but initially, make a decision about whether to kill her or not. A word to the wise -- this girl will have some optional side quests for you later if you let her live, and Dwayne won't be all that sorry to let her live anyway. Try to resist the urge to do her in, if you can.

Jonathon Flaum needed a change from his desk-jockey position in the corporate sector. He decided to fulfill an old-time tradition and become a milkman, delivering products from his refrigerated truck to doorsteps in Western North Carolina.
ARDEN— Jonathon Flaum needed a change from his desk-jockey position in the corporate sector. He decided to fulfill an old-time tradition and become a milkman, delivering products from his refrigerated truck to doorsteps in Western North Carolina.
Flaum, 44, started Farm to Home Milk in January. The company brings bottled farm glasses of milk to residents and businesses and with its success, the Asheville resident recently expanded his route to Fletcher and plans to have a central drop-off location in Hendersonville.
In addition to milk, customers can order eggs, bread, meat, poultry and much more from the company that boasts the slogan "Udderly Fresh Milk."
"I love the physical work and like making people happy," Flaum said. "If customers want something good, I can bring it."
Flaum cranks up the milk truck on Mondays, drives to Chapel Hill to pick up milk from Maple View Farm and returns to the mountains to make deliveries through the remainder of the week.
He's had nothing less than positive feedback from his customers.
"People have been so supportive," he said. "It's been great."
Priscilla Gamblin, 56, of Fletcher has been getting milk and other items such as hamburger and bread delivered to her home since Flaum started his business.
"It is incredible," she said about the service, food and milk.
Gamblin grew up with milk delivery.
"It is refreshing to have that again," she said.
The company delivers mostly to the Asheville and northern Henderson County area and sets up drop off locations in other areas in Western North Carolina.
The entire Flaum family is involved in the business of delivering the pasteurized and homogenized milk along with a selection of other food products that come from the region.
Flaum's 11-year-old son, Ren, handles the upkeep for Farm to Home Milk's website while his daughter, 7-year-old Eve, acts as the company's chief salesperson.
"She is so proud of what we are doing, she tells everyone," Flaum said.
It's important to him that his children, and his wife of 17 years, Tami, are involved in keeping the company's wheels rolling.
"I wanted to do something that was family oriented, and this fit the bill," Flaum said.
His family helps stock the refrigerated truck for daily deliveries.
Western North Carolina companies provide Farm to Home Milk's supply of goat milk, eggs, bread, fish, beef, pork, coffee and more.
"There are so many people producing high-quality food in Western North Carolina that makes this company feasible," Flaum said. "This is a testament to local food and the personal connection from farmer to delivery."
For more information visit www.farmtohomemilk.com or call 828-225-1900.
Reach Schulman at 828-694-7890 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Using the windows Xp Pro/home command prompt
Using the GUI(graphic user interface) in windows is ok if you like using the GUI But using the command line is a lot faster because it gives a direct communication link between you and the operating system and what you want it to do.
**Note some functions from the command line will not ask for confirmation before making changes so take your time when typing in a command **
To get to the command line in windows xp click on start then click on run and in the dialog box type in Cmd and press enter
what you will see on your screen is the command prompt
Looks boring ehhh well Listed below are some commands that you can use
*** these commands work in Windows Xp home and Pro versions***
This command is used if you want to configure a home network or trouble shoot a network connection and it also displays the ip address, subnet mask and the default gateway for each Network adapter installed on you computer
Ipconfig /all
This command displays all the information above plus DNS (Domain name service) IP routing, WINS (Windows internet naming service) DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) etc
Ipconfig /renew
This command renews the Dhcp configuration if you have more than one adapter you can specify one adapter by typing
Ipconfig /renewlocal area connection
Ipconfig /flushdns
This command flushes and resets the content of the dns client
If you deleted a file and emptied the recycle bin you might be able to get it back by typing recover [drive:][path]filename as a example recover D:\Dead letters\deadfile.txt (you have to type in the exact file name of the file that was deleted)
You may get the following error message after trying the command
Cannot lock the drive the volume is still in use dont worry you can still try one other thing reboot your computer and enter in safe mode f6 or f8 will get you there and try the command again( you can use norton's Unerase wizard if you have norton system works installed on your computer)
System file checker
The SFC scans protected files the registry for problems or corruption and replaces them with the originals if it is needed to run these commands you must be logged in with administrative privileges(and rember when you are done log out of the admin account)
sfc /scannow
A dialog box will come up and it will start scanning the files you may be asked to insert your Winxp Cd if it needs to copy files to the harddrive
sfc /scanonce
This will scan the files every time you start up your computer (this will slow down your computer a bit)
***these commands only work in Win Xp Pro***
This command displays a list of all drivers installed on your computer it also shows you Driver type such as File system , Kernel-mode driver and the link date
driverquery /v
Shows you details such as start mode type ,state, status, accept ,stop, pause Etc
Driverquery /v /fo list
This command lists each driver and details separated into easy to read lists
Driverquery /s ipaddress
With the /s parameter you can specify the ip address of a remote computer to see the driver details
Driver query /u domain\user
This command will allow you to use the domain and user name to see a remote computers driver details Domain\user Domain indicates the network domain and user name indicates the user name from the remote computer
This command will display information such as O.S version ,configuration registered owner O.S installation date and time processor type and actual speed , bios version (Basic input and Output system, system memory details , network card and a complete list of all hot fixes
Most people press ctrl alt del to bring the task list up but with this command you will be seeing the same exact things that would be in the task manager. By adding filtered parameters to the command you will see information about all current processes
as a example
Status filter shows you information on all processes that are running or not responding
This parameter uses a filter and a operator Example Ge means greater than or equal to
Eq (Equal to)
Ne (not equal to)
Gt (greater than)
Lt (less than)
Ge (Greater than or equal to)
Le (less than equal to)
All operators are used with the Pid, session, Cpu time and mem usage filters all others can only use eq and ne filters
The filter values will vary with each filter used
As a example Image name, session name , services window title and Memusage can use any valid string but Session needs a valid session number, Username needs a valid user name and CPU time needs a valid time using the HH:MM:SS format
Tasklist /v /fi cputime gt 00:20:00
This will show you programs that have been running for 30 minutes or longer
Thanks for reading this

Live Wire Farm
The picture of rustic charm in Vermont, Live Wire Farms captures so much romance and beauty that it almost feels like a cliche. The Robohms retired to a 100-acre property in Vermont several years ago and turned a few hobbies into wonderful little businesses. It's obvious that everything offered by the Robohms is made with love and consideration.
Live Wire Farm was featured on Re-Nest about a year ago, but we thought we'd check in again this year.
Raw birch candles, cherry and maple wood cooking utensils, napkin rings, and hooks are some of the items offered through the Timber collection from Live Wire Farms. The raw, simple designs are made mainly of extra pieces of wood collected from the property or converted from the extra branches of trees that were cut down for firewood. The hooks have a such a wide appeal that they're used in Twitter's headquarters, Sweet Green Restaurants, the Eco Suite in the W Hotel and in countless homes and small businesses.
The first pieces were created out of necessity for personal use, but after they caught the attention of family and friends the business of selling them to a wider audience was born, and the entire family pitches in. John collects the wood and make all of the items, his wife provides customer service and takes care of shipping, their son is a website designer (and whose home was recently featured in Apartment Therapy's new Small Spaces book!), and their daughter is a photographic stylist with a photographer husband. Their collective talents are evident after a quick browse of the website.
The Robohms have also kept bees for over 40 years and they sell honey through the site. Additionally John offers electric fence repair (hence the name "Live Wire" farms). The pieces and honey can be purchased through their website and range from $10 to $50.
We have always been interested in the environment and conserving energy and I enjoy fixing things rather than throwing them away (thus the electric fence charger repair side of things), working with wood and generally being active. In retirement, we have been able to seek out and act in ways to focus on those interests. We have kept bees for almost 40 years, have two grid attached wind turbines, solar collectors for heating our hot water and pasture cows on our fields each summer. In addition, we manage our woods to promote the growth of healthy and desirable trees. All in all, we keep nicely busy.

One of the most famous passages of the Passover seder is called "Ha Lachma Anya — This is the bread of affliction." It is sometimes referred to as the "invocation." It is the moment when the leader of the seder welcomes all the guests at the seder, especially those who are in need, and invites them to celebrate Passover with everyone at the table. It is recited and sung in Aramaic, so unless one pays attention to the translation, one can miss the importance of the passage.

http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/images/size340/19th_Special_Session_on_Syria_of_the_United_Nations_Human_Rights_Council_Credit_US_Mission_Geneva_CNA_World_Catholic_News_6_1_12.jpgSantiago, Chile, Jun 12, 2014 / 02:07 pm (CNA).- In a radical policy shift, the government of Chile will alter its human rights stance at the United Nations by abandoning the defense of life from the moment of conception and accepting the legalization of abortion in several circumstances.
According to documents obtained by the Chilean newspaper La Tercera, Chilean representatives to the U.N. will accept a pro-abortion policy and break with the pro-life policy of former president Sebastian Pinera at a presentation to the United Nations in Geneva on June 19.
In January, Chile underwent the United Nations' universal periodic review on human rights issues. The process evaluates the record of each member state of the United Nations every four years. Chile received 185 recommendations from other U.N. member states.
Some of the countries pressed for the change on abortion. Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium said Chile should adopt measures to legalize abortion in cases of rape, incest and where the life of the mother is endangered.
The administration of President Sebastian Pinera, who left office March 11, previously rejected similar recommendations.
However, that policy will be replaced by a new document drafted by the administration of the recently elected President Michelle Bachelet, who has embraced all the recommendations on abortion.
The document justifies the new position on the grounds that "the Chilean legal system establishes that the legal existence of each person begins upon birth, that is, upon complete separation from the mother."
Chile's new stance at the U.N. rejects the Holy See's recommendation to "defend and respect the rights of the human person from the moment of conception to natural death."
According to the documents obtained by La Tercera, Chile will report to the U.N. that "the current policy of the government will include the legalization of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy" in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother. It will also include the drafting of a law on "sexual and reproductive rights involving sexual education and access to sexual and reproductive health services."
The rejected pro-life document drafted under President Pinera said abortion would "not form part of the sexual and reproductive rights of women" and would not be granted legal recognition. Abortion could not be legal in Chile, the policy stated, because the country's constitution "protects the life of the unborn."

What direct services does the Second Chance Alliance provide?
The Second Chance Alliance does not provide direct services. The Alliance is meant to serve as the collective voice of individuals with criminal records and those who serve them across North Carolina in order to affect the perspective and decisions of North Carolina's leaders and communities around the issue of collateral consequences. While the Alliance does not provide direct services, as an alliance inclusive of advocacy organizations, service provides, and faith-based organizations, we are knowledgeable of local, state, and national resources focused on reentry. Please visit the Reentry Resources section of this website.
What is a collateral consequence?
The collateral consequences of a criminal conviction are the additional civil state penalties, mandated by hundreds of state and federal statutes, which attach to criminal convictions. They are not part of the direct consequences of criminal conviction, such as incarceration, fines, and/or probation. They are the further civil actions by the state, often unknown to defendants and attorneys at the time of conviction, which are triggered as a consequence of the conviction. Their impact is severe, far-reaching, and long-lasting. They include loss or restriction of a professional license, ineligibility for public funds including welfare benefits and student loans, loss of voting rights, ineligibility for jury duty, and deportation for immigrants.
What types of jobs are barred to people with criminal records?
Private employers are permitted to deny employment based on a criminal record only if the employer conducts an individualized determination of the appropriateness of hiring that individual. Put another way, an employer must consider the relationship between the job the person is seeking and his or her criminal record. Accordingly, blanket bans on hiring any person with a criminal record are illegal.
Many jobs in North Carolina require certification or licensure. North Carolina automatically prohibits licensure of a limited number of occupations and types of convictions. For example, the North Carolina State Board of Education is prohibited from certifying any teacher who has been convicted of certain statutorily-specified crimes. See NCGS § 115-296. Most occupational licensing boards are not prohibited from granting licensure to individuals with criminal records; instead, these boards are provided the discretion to deny licensure based on consideration of certain types of criminal convictions. For example, the North Carolina Board of Nursing may "refuse to issue a license to practice nursing" where an applicant has been convicted of "any crime which indicates that the nurse is unfit or incompetent to practice nursing." See NCGS § 90-171.37. Similarly, the Board of Barber Examiners "may refuse to issue" licensure based on any "felony." See NCGS 86A-18.
What role do background checks play in the hiring process? How can a job-seeker mitigate the effect of having a criminal record?
According to the Society of Human Resource Management, at least 80 percent of private employers now use criminal background checks as part of their hiring processes. See http://www.nij.gov/journals/263/redemption.htm. More than 800 background check companies and reporting agencies now exist in the United States. The information provided by these companies generally comes from state repositories, courts, state and local databases, and the National Crime Information Center.
Information provided to employers may contain errors from source materials, identity theft, or mistakes made by the reporting agencies. Common errors include (i) cases that were supposed to be sealed, but were not; (ii) arrests that did not lead to court case filings; (iii) warrants for arrests that were, or should have been, vacated, but are still reported on the "rap sheet;" (iv) missing resolutions, results, and decisions of court cases; and (v) specific convictions that are reported incorrectly.
Job-seekers should request a copy of their own criminal records and review them for mistakes, including missing information. Errors should be reported to the reporting agency for prompt action and/or investigation. The reporting agency is required by law to change the disputed information if it is inaccurate.
Provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act provide the following protections in regard to background checks: (i) reporting companies must provide individuals with notice if a background check contains information that may have an adverse effect on the applicants' ability to obtain employment when submitted to an employer; (ii) arrests more than seven years old are not required to be reported if the arrests resulted in no convictions; and (iii) if an employer plans to take an adverse employment action based on the background report, the employer must give the applicant or employee a copy and the Federal Trade Commission "Summary of Consumer Rights" before taking the adverse action.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
What employment protections do individuals with criminal records have?
Employers are permitted to ask about and consider conviction records—and in some cases, arrest records—when making employment decisions. The federal government, through Equal Employment Opportunity Commission policy, provides employment discrimination protection for people with criminal records. These policies require employers to make individual determinations about the appropriateness of hiring someone, rather than permitting employers to have blanket bans on hiring anyone with a criminal record. In particular, they require employers to consider the relationship between the job the person is seeking and his or her criminal record.
A handful of local jurisdictions in North Carolina have laws or policies that prohibit questions on job applications about criminal history, as well as prevent the use of criminal background checks until an individual is in the final stages of the hiring process. These types of regulations, popularly known as "ban the box" initiatives, are intended to ensure that individuals are fairly judged on their merits when pursuing employment. Please visit the Second Chance Alliance's link to learn more about Ban the Box initiatives in North Carolina.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
How should job-seekers respond to questions regarding past convictions?
Many job-seekers struggle to explain their criminal records to potential employers. Inaccurate information or an omission may disqualify individuals from employment. In live interviews, interviewees should respond in the following ways to questions about criminal convictions: (i) acknowledge the previous mistakes in a concise and businesslike way; (ii) mention any relevant skills or interests developed while in prison or prior to entering prison; and (iii) reinforce a commitment and an interest in the new job, by stating, for example, "I'm more mature now and my top priority is to work at [company] to use my abilities, focus on the work, and make a fresh start." Applicants should be familiar with their criminal history to answer accurately specific questions on job applications and in interviews.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
What liability concerns do employers face if they hire people with criminal records and what can they do to protect themselves?
Employers may be reluctant to hire job applicants with criminal records. In a survey of 3,000 employers in four major urban areas (Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles), only 40 percent said they would consider hiring a person with a criminal record. See http://www.urban.org/uploadedPDF/410855_holzer.pdf. One of the primary reasons offered by employers is fear of incurring liability if they hire someone who then commits a crime on the job.
Generally, in determining whether an employer is liable for negligent hiring, courts will determine whether the employer could have foreseen the crime. They will consider whether the employee had a history or propensity for harmful behaviors and whether the employer knew or should have known about them. An employer's reasonable efforts to determine whether the applicant's criminal record poses a risk or is related to his or her fulfilling the requirements of the job will minimize liability. Certificates of Relief, recently established by the North Carolina General Assembly, shield employers from liability for negligent hiring. NCGS § 15A-173.5 provides "a Certificate of Relief is a bar to any action alleging lack of due care in hiring, retaining, licensing, leasing to, admitting to a school or program, or otherwise transacting business or engaging in activity with the individual to whom the Certificate of Relief was issued, if the person against whom the judicial or administrative proceedings is brought knew of the Certificate of Relief at the time of the alleged negligence."
The National H.I.R.E. Network's "Employer Resources," provides more information related to negligent hiring and the federal bonding program and is available at http://www.hirenetwork.org/employer.html.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
What are common needs among job-seekers with criminal records?
The chance that individuals with a criminal record will successfully obtain and retain a job is significantly improved if the broad array of their needs are met. Programs that focus exclusively on employment should ensure that the following areas are addressed:
- Counseling: Individuals with criminal records, especially those who were incarcerated, often need guidance, coaching, and reassurance on very significant life-issues that they may be facing, including reconnecting with family members. Certain types of evidence-based counseling such as cognitive-behavioral programs have also proven effective in correcting certain core and underlying beliefs that may contribute to "criminal thinking."
- Stable Housing: Many individuals with criminal records, particularly those recently incarcerated, do not have a stable and permanent place to live and rely on informal networks for their housing. Others enter the shelter system or other transitional housing to the extent that it is available. Disruptions in living conditions due to frequent moves can hurt job performance.
- Child Support: Most individuals with criminal convictions are male, and many are non-custodial fathers known to the child support system. Child support payments and arrears that may have accumulated during incarceration can serve as a barrier to entering the legitimate labor market. Practitioners often work with clients toward managing or decreasing child support obligations by petitioning the courts and/or encouraging the client to talk with the other parent.
- Substance Abuse, Health, and Mental Health: Many people involved in the criminal justice system have drug and alcohol issues and other health and mental health challenges that can impede successful employment. These needs must be addressed according to the severity of the condition. For example, some individuals with substance use issues may be able to work and attend outpatient treatment simultaneously, whereas others may need to be in residential treatment before being able to secure employment.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
What stakeholders can play a role in addressing the education and employment needs of people with criminal records?
- Business: Private employers are, of course, crucial to the success of any hiring program. Reentry providers must persuade the business community that hiring people with criminal convictions makes good sense. Business organizations and coalitions can also act as political champions and advocates on reentry employment issues.
- Faith-Based Community: Religious groups and leaders, faith-based organizations, and houses of worship play a pivotal role in supporting the reentry population. Such groups will usually be closely tied to the communities that the individuals re-enter after incarceration, and may form a support network for these individuals. Religious groups emphasize second chances, responsibility, and family values and supplant less positive elements in the lives of those re-entering the community.
- Community Resource and Nonprofit Centers: Resource centers can serve as a hub where individuals with criminal convictions can access information, services, assistance, and social interaction. These may broadly include One-Stop employment centers, residential reentry centers and other nonprofit organizations serving the formerly incarcerated that provide services such as counseling, financial advice, and housing assistance. Neighborhood-focused organizations also help to form a network that supports reintegration into the community via neighborhood activities, mentoring, and various types of community-minded meetings that give the re-entering individual a "stake" in the overall community's well-being.
- Residential Reentry Centers: Most people leaving federal prisons and many leaving state prisons transition to the community through structured residential programs that provide strict accountability, access to services, support in finding employment, and supervision. These residential programs are typically of short duration (e.g., three months), but assist people who are leaving prison with employment, family reunification, treatment services, and a graduated reentry to the community. Reentry centers may provide housing for these individuals both before and after their release.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.
What benefits are available to employers who hire individuals with criminal records?
The following financial incentives are commonly available to employers who hire a job applicant with a criminal record:
- Work Opportunity Tax Credits: Available to private employers who hire targeted groups of traditionally underemployed workers, including people with criminal records. The maximum credit available as of January 2011 is $2,400 per new worker per employee at a single place of employment. While some states offer state-level tax credits, North Carolina does not.
- Welfare-to-Work Tax Credits: Open to private employers to hire long-term welfare recipients, including people with criminal records. An employer can claim up to 35 percent of an employee's first-year wages. In addition, employers may be eligible to receive Workforce Investment Act (WIA) assistance, including on-the-job training and welfare-to-work wage subsidies, if they are willing to train and provide work experience to individuals with criminal records.
- Federal Bonding Program: Protection for employers against theft or fraudulent actions of "at-risk" populations, including individuals with criminal records. The Federal Bonding Program issues fidelity bonds that act as insurance policies that will cover losses to employers or employment agencies. These instruments become effective immediately upon employment and are free to the employer. Because they serve as protections and incentives for hiring, reentry practitioners should be familiar with how to procure them for employers and their clients.
*Information provided by the National Reentry Resource Center. For more information, please visit: http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/.

Hello All, I imagine I have already figured the answer out for myself, but I would like to know what other English teachers (who have taught in Indo.) think. I have a job in Jakarta at a National Plus school. One year, making approx. $1500, taxes paid, flight reimburs., accomo., I get to teach the age I want, no medical though, visa and work papers covered, 5 days paid vacation, time off in December (apparently a month?), and a few contacts from the Director have made Jakarta seem not so bad. Then there is EF in Bandung. Not only have the e-mails back and forth to this school been extremely slow (granted an explanation was given), air fare is paid, but not accom, paid vaction, insurance, free internet access, and I have contacts there who seem to enjoy there time in Bandung. Now everyone has heard a piece or two about how dirty, smelly, crime-ridden, Jakarta is, but then the contacts I have spoke with from there say it's okay. I'm not expecting this to be all 'sunshine and lollypops'. But I do hope to enjoy myself here and there; in Jakarta or Bandung. I do want to surf, scuba, and/or snorkle while I am there and that would help in the deciding factor too. Also, should I be concerned that no medical is included for National Plus? I understand I will be getting it one way or another... I guess it's the thought of this being my first time and all... Does anyone have any opinions? Back to top jsbst18Joined: 04 May 2003Posts: 6 Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2003 11:28 pm Post subject: Bandung or Jakarta Hmm... Go with the National Plus school, but you cant surf or scuba in Jakarta OR Bandung. Bandung is my favorite city on Java (but it is also my fiancee's hometown). It is REALLY small compared to Jakarta, but it seems to be a popular place to get cheap textiles. It is about 8 hours by train from Jakarta. The train is cheap and REALLY NICE (1st class has plane style food service, movies and clean toilets) Jakarta is everything you have heard and more. If you dont have a private car in Jakarta, you will be screwed (even if you DO, the traffic is horrible). Not so in Bandung. I took the buses and mini buses all the time with no problems. Buses in Jakarta are dangerous and my fiancee wont even ride them. Bandung is cheap... Jakarta is expensive. 1500 USD is decent (actually pretty good), but you will find yourself in limbo between living like a local, who you will be much better off than and a foreign business expat, who you will be much poorer than. Indonesians in Bandung are MUCH friendlier than Jakarta Indonesians, but if you live in Bandung you MUST learn Bahasa Indonesian. You you have any questions, I will ask my fiancee. PM me.

Jakarta is a big city and there's always a lot to do. I don't think you are 'screwed' without a car; taxis aren't that expensive and of course there are lots of buses. I teach at a school about an hour outside Jakarta. The only real problem I would have with teaching in Jakarta is the air quality; the smog is terrible. I've read that living in Jakarta is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes a day; I don't know if that's true but it's sure not hard to believe.

Wouldn't want to live in Jakarta myself, but it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I worked at EF in Bandung for 14 months, and very much enjoyed it. If you want to ask me anything about it, PM me. I won't be able to reply until next week though, as I'm going interstate....

Stick with the National Plus school. I work pretty much at a national plus school and the money and conditions are better than EF Palembang. You can get a job anytime with EF so go with the national plus. Also, once your've done a year or two at a national plus, I imagine getting a job at another national plus or international school will be that much easier. Working in a high school is so much easier than a language institute. Sure you have bigger classroom numbers but the students love their bule teacher. U have more challenges at working in national plus school but your feel more like a teacher than working in a langauge school no insult intended for those who are working in a language institute.

A Second Amendment group is suing the city of Daytona Beach on behalf of a combat veteran whose firearms the group claims were seized illegally by police.
DAYTONA BEACH — A Second Amendment group is suing the city of Daytona Beach on behalf of a combat veteran whose firearms the group claims were seized illegally by police.
Sean Caranna, executive director of Florida Carry Inc., also said the U.S. Army veteran's Second Amendment rights had been violated and that police had no warrant when they entered the man's home and confiscated 16 firearms. The veteran, whom Caranna would not name, served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But Police Chief Mike Chitwood said Friday that the guns — which are being kept at police headquarters — were taken for safekeeping the night 26-year-old Anthony Bontempo threatened to commit suicide.
The chief said there was no need for a warrant because the guns were not taken for evidence, but for "safekeeping."
"He was not arrested, he was taken under the Baker Act," Chitwood said. "This was not a criminal case, so we did not need a warrant." Florida's Baker Act states that an individual can be taken into custody and placed under psychiatric care for up to 72 hours if the person is considered a danger to himself or herself, or others.
Caranna, who lives in Port Orange, said the veteran was released from Halifax Health Medical Center the next day when a doctor declared Bontempo was not a threat to himself.
The lawsuit — filed Friday and similar to others filed around the state — says Bontempo has not been declared "mentally defective" as defined under Florida law, and therefore his guns should be returned. The lawsuit claims that police are hanging their refusal on another state statute that prohibits anyone from giving weapons to a person of "unsound mind."
Chitwood said Bontempo went to the Police Department after he was released from Halifax and asked for his guns. When asked to produce his mental health records, Chitwood said Bontempo came back with a letter from a doctor who diagnosed him with post traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism and systematic personality disorder.
"I said no way is he getting his guns back," Chitwood said. "I can't allow this guy to go ballistic on himself or other people. If that happens then everyone will ask why we gave him the guns back."
A Daytona Beach police incident report shows that in the early morning hours of Dec. 23, 2012, Bontempo called the Crisis Center hot line and told an employee there that he had loaded weapons. He also said that if she called police, he would shoot himself, the report shows.
After a few minutes, Bontempo stopped talking and just cried, the report shows. The Crisis Center employee got back on the line with him and convinced Bontempo to walk outside where police were waiting, the report shows.
At that point, Bontempo, according to the report, told officers that he had several guns hidden inside the house and lying on the bed. Police entered the residence and took all the weapons, as well as bows and arrows, and stored them at the Police Department.
Chitwood, who along with Mayor Derrick Henry are named as defendants in the suit, said another reason the firearms were taken is because the house was left empty and if someone broke in, "Next thing you know we'll have 16 illegal guns on the street."
Caranna, however, says police went too far and that the veteran -- referred to as "A.B." in the lawsuit -- simply had "a few too many to drink" that evening and was having a bad night.
"I can understand seizing a gun if it's on the person, but going into the house and taking all the guns is against the law," Caranna said. "Now they're asking him (Bontempo) for a court order and they're shifting the burden of proof on him to prove that he's not mentally ill."
Chitwood disagreed, saying Florida Carry is not interested in the overall safety of the community.
"They really don't care about public safety," he said.

Bathroom Window Treatments & Bathroom Blinds
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades
While privacy is a major concern in the bathroom, blinds and shades that are able to withstand high levels of humidity are the best choice. Treatments made out of vinyl, PVC, faux wood, or thick fabric will be durable enough to stand up to the unique environment. These window treatments won't bend, warp, crack, or harvest mildew and are sure to withstand the test of time. Many bathroom shades can be configured with a top down/bottom up lift for the ultimate in flexible privacy. The slats on faux wood bathroom blinds and shutters can be tilted upwards to admit some light while still maintaining privacy.

customer reviews for bathroom
By wassupdoc from Ann Arbor, MI
After doing a LOT of comparison shopping I bought from blindsgalore because they had the best price available. I received the blinds within a week(faster than promised) The installation was pretty simple with just a few screws into the wall and I was done. The blinds look awesome and are very easy to operate. I am very happy with my purchase from BlindsGalore and the Bali faux wood blinds.View this product
"Great for bathroom"
By smitch from Katy, TX.
We used the Northern Heights blinds from Bali throughout our house but wanted something resistant to humidity for the master bath. This blind fits the bill beautifully. It doesn't look like "fake wood". My only complaint is that the antique white in this blind is slightly darker than the antique white in Northern Height blinds. The quality is just as good.View this product

The volcanic Jemez Mountains of New Mexico rise more than a mile above the surrounding high desert, like an island in the sky.
