Another Amazing Year – very busy and many fights at the top level….
Our record for the year is 62 Fights, 45 wins, 16 loss and 1 Draw.
We've really stepped up in class again this year and taken on some of the toughest fights out there.
Includuing 7 World Title fights and fights in Japan, USA, Australia, Thailand, Italy and France.
Massive names on our CV This year like Saiyok, Andre Kulebin, Sanchai, Albert Chey, Aekpracha, Alexis Rufus, Damian Trainor, Nobuchika Terado, Thomas McCormick and more
Kate Stables – fought in Australia in a short nnotice fight v Kate Heuston , won the ISKA English title by stopping Sophia Christoludu and lost narrowly to UK no1 Alexis Rufus. Already some big things planned for her in 2013!
James France – had some great wins in 2012 including beating Gordon Smith from Scotland and winning the WRSA World title in a great win over Thomas McCormick in Sheffield. Big scalp.
Imran Khan – 2 great wins for him this year as he adapts more to the Bad Company style. He finished the year with a big win over Irish star and World Champion Josh Palmer. Another big scalp.
Davy Mac – Had an incredible 2012 with wins in France making his name internationally – he won the ISKA World Title in Marseille in February and beat one of the biggest Franch names Albert Chey in Paris in April. He took the second half off 2012 due to the birth of his son Alfie Mac.
Bailey Roberts – Keeps getting better and better and just won the UKMF British title as he moves up into the adult divison. Expect another Bad Company Star to emerge next year!
Kenzie Roberts – Had a quiet 2nd half of the year due to injuries but won the Celtic Challenge belt earlier in the year and had a great win at Leeds Town Hall in April. He is looking to make his name in 2013.
Luke Turner – Gets better and more dangerous all the time. Had an explosive stoppage win over tough Scot Mikey Wiseman, lost closely to UK No1 Greg Wooton and beat Portuguese star Carlos Correra. 2013 will see him make his name on the international stage.
Andy Howson – Andy has had a very busy year – highlights include a win over Swedish figher Viet Hoang, a massive win over Damian Trainor and fights in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Tokyo. The Lord of War goes from strength to strength.
Jordan Watson – Continues to establish his name at the very top level. Beat Ilya but lost to no other than Saiyok in the Princes Cup tournament in Bangkok to get second place, had a great KO win on Thai Fight Extreme v Hamed Hassan, and won on his Debut for Glory in a great performance v Mustapha Haida in Rome. Just lost in one of the most exciting fights of the year to the biggest name in Muay Thai at the moment Aekpracha. Next year sees Jordan hoping to make his name for Glory and fights already booked for Yokkao Expreme and Glory.
Not many fighters can say they've fought Saiyok AND Aekpracha in one year!
Liam Harrison – Another outstanding year with a massive KO win over one of the pound for pound best outside Thailand 12x World Champion Andre Kulebin, a stoppage win over Angelo Campoli from Italy and a 3rd fight with the legendary Sanchai in Macau which he lost but put in a great performace. Liam gets better every month and also makes his Glory Debut in March, with other fights already booked including Urban Boxing in Marseille and Rumble at the Reebok in April.
Ones to watch for 2013:
Already mentioned – Bailey Roberts 55kg gets stronger and stronger and is now ready to progress to adults fights. His Bother Kenzie Roberts 42kg is also set to shine next year.
Luke Imeson 67kg B Class has now returned after some time out due to injury and is looking set for a big year making a name for himself having already had a stoppage win on Xtreme Combat.
Luke Turner 62-64kg A class is looking sharper and sharper and continues to improve. A rematch with Wooton would be good but in the meantime he will fight in February v a Dutch opponent and other international fights are on the horizon too.
Kate Stables 52-54kg A class will also establish herself at the top next year with big fights already in the pipeline – watch this space.
John Dennis 65kg A class is now back in the gym and hungry to get back to top level fighting after injury forced him out for 2 years.
Eddie Long 78kg B class is also improving and will make more of a name for himself in 2013.
Watch this space for several strong novices coming through too!

Surviving the dry spell
It's hard to keep the garden looking good and continuing to be productive through a long, dry summer without spending a bucketload of money on water. And we all want to avoid that if possible.
Just as with all our home gardens, it's looking pretty dry out at Tucker Patch at the moment, but fortunately the permaculture methods our volunteers use to protect precious plantings go a long way to minimising the impacts of drought.
With no certain end to this dry spell in sight, this is a time when deep mulching and clever watering systems really come into their own. And there are plenty of other ways to minimize your water use and keep your garden flourishing through the hot, dry weather, without breaking the bank.

1/2 brown sugar
Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
1 cup cream
small hand full of sultanas
1 teaspoon golden syrup
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp all spice
2 eggs
While still hot place gramma, eggs, cream, sugar and spices in a processor and whiz until smooth. Line a pie plate with short crust pastry. Pour cool gramma into the half cooked pastry shell base, cover top of pie with more pastry squishing the two edges together, not forgetting to make a rose and leaves for the top of your pie, brush top of pie with egg or milk and bake in a moderate oven until pastry is golden brown, Cool, serve with cream or ice cream, or just top with your favourite nuts and fresh whipped cream.

Little slice of …
Find just what you want at Nick's
Nick's Martini & Wine Bar in East State Village is not one of those well-hidden secrets. It's the inheritor of the good vibes left from when it was the family room of Nick and Von's Rib Room, and the new owners are skillfully adding new good vibes of their own with a glamorous combo of craft cocktails, a well-chosen wine list and a short but strong craft beer selection plus a small-plates menu that ranges from the neighborly to the urban and edgy with consummate skill.
It hit the ground running after opening in March.
"We were really impressed with the outpouring from the local community in the 05, the 46805," said general manager Karon Messman. "We also have people that have come from the whole community."
They learned some key lessons when they thought they were just remodeling.
"During construction, we didn't realize how much people walk and socialize," she said. "We may have to find out how to get a crosswalk because we get so much back and forth traffic from State Bar and Grill."
The final result is that the room is just plain beautiful. Opening up the wall of windows along East State Boulevard was sheer genius, both for the sparkling light it lets into the room and the neighborhoodlife it supports. East State Village is at the heart of the 05, where people do indeed walk, and Nick's is a place where people will stop for a drink, some conversation and a bite to eat. The patio out back is pet friendly, too.
Add the Wednesday-through-Saturday live music lineup, a small but nice late night menu, the adjoining-room availability of a full dinner at The Rib Room and the fact that three Henry brothers, Chris, Matt and Kurt, are behind the room's renaissance, and it's a recipe for success.
It's not the only place like it in town.
"But we found a hole in this near north corridor," Messman said. "So many people go through here from downtown to out north, and there are not a lot of things in between and nothing really right here. There was a huge, gaping hole for something like this, something with both the 'want to be a part of our neighborhood' but also some edgy, fun things."
The cocktail menu, the wine and craft beer offerings and the small plates menu all are carefully designed to do both and to welcome people at all price points, she said.
"Not that the food isn't great, but because our focus really is the craft martinis and cocktails, we do have quite a selection of martinis," she said. Some are old standards, harkening back to the 1920s, such as the Aviation, which beverage manager Alesia Glaza describes as a classic making a comeback, and some are newer trendy favorites like the Caipirinha Up.
The dessert martini menu has already proved popular with people coming over after dinner at The Rib Room or on their way home from dinner downtown. Messman is very proud of the monthly Martini for a Cause, which costs $10, half of which is donated to the month's charity. Recent beneficiaries have been the Allen County SPCA and the Positive Resource Center, formerly AIDS Task Force.
Nick's keeps it local in many ways, sourcing its menu items locally whenever possible and with community involvement. Messman is also creating some involvement. She's looking forward to becoming a sponsor of the annual Northside Neighborhood Association block party and supplying some of the music, and she has an inspiration for a pub crawl among the neighborhood bars and restaurants. So far she has either talked with or is thinking about el Azteca, State Bar & Grill, Shady Nook, North Star and Old Crown in addition to Nick's.
"We really want to get this pub crawl going," she said.
And she is booking Nick's on Sundays, when it is closed, for special events, when its kitchen will even be made available to other chefs who might want to do special dinners.
"Mix it up," she said.
Nick's Martini & Wine Bar's Maple Sausage Stuffed Jalapeños
Serves 4
6-8 large fresh jalapeños
1 pound ground Italian sausage
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup softened cream cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon imitation maple flavoring
1/2 pound pepper jack cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped hickory bacon, fried until crispy
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
Avocado-lime sauce:
1 cup buttermilk ranch dressing
1 avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon sriracha sauce
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1. De-seed jalapeños and cut in half lengthwise. Lay on sheet tray, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake jalapeños at 375 degrees F. until soft but firm (7-10 minutes). Set aside.
2. In large stock pot, brown sausage and drain fat. In large mixing bowl, combine sausage, garlic, cream cheese, pepper flakes, maple flavoring and pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Stuff jalapeños with sausage stuffing generously. Top with thinly sliced pepper jack cheese.
4. Bake jalapeños 8-12 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
5. For sauce, combine buttermilk ranch dressing, sriracha sauce, salt and pepper, pitted avocado and fresh lime juice in blender. Blend until smooth.
6. Garnish with avocado-lime sauce, crispy chopped bacon and scallions.

Crafty daughters are awesome!
Before I had even decided on a colour scheme for my new Kraftin' Kimmie 'Charlotte' stamp, my 11yo daughter had inked it up, stamped it out and coloured it in!!! She used paper, gems & flowers from 'the stash', and copic markers to colour. A couple more lessons and she'll have this blending thing down pat! This card was made for the June star-themed challenge over at
Inkurable Stampers
. It's her first ever challenge entry (after one false start a few months ago), and she's just so proud of this card. Yeah ... me too :D More details on

In addition, a mythic gylou can spend 1 point of its mythic power as a free action to suppress freedom of movement and magical bonuses to Escape Artist or on checks to escape a grapple on an opponent that she is grappling or has transferred to her tentacle cage.
Tentacle Cage (Su) A gylou can transfer one creature that she is grappling into her lower body's nest of cage-like tentacles as a free action. This works like swallow whole with fast swallow, but the creature can be up to the same size as the gylou. The gylou's tentacles are AC 20 and have 25 hp for the purpose of an entrapped creature cutting itself out. A gylou's tentacles heal quickly, allowing her to use this ability 1 round after a creature cuts itself free.

Matt Murray soaking it in at World Cup
After short offseason, Penguins goalie aims to start for Team North Americaby Dave Stubbs @Dave_Stubbs / NHL.com Columnist
MONTREAL -- It was Matt Murray's first trip to the Bell Centre, and now, half-peeled out of his Team North America equipment, he was keenly aware of the history that was all around him.
"A bit of shock and awe," the 22-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender said Monday of this maiden visit, looking at the faces of Montreal Canadiens legends and the plaques of their champion teams displayed on the dressing room's walls.
If he had taken inventory, Murray would have seen smiles of seven Hockey Hall of Fame goalies: Georges Vezina, George Hainsworth, Bill Durnan, Jacques Plante, Gump Worsley, Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy. Coming soon: Rogie Vachon, who will be inducted this fall.
Murray often was compared last spring to Dryden, who played six regular-season games in 1970-71 before throwing the Canadiens on his back to anchor their improbable Stanley Cup victory.
Now, Murray was sitting in this room -- in the regular spot of Canadiens goalie Carey Price, who was practicing with Team Canada in Ottawa -- while Dryden and a half-dozen other iconic goalies gazed down at him.
"I know this is a very famous building," said the veteran of 13 regular-season NHL games who would win 15 of his 21 Stanley Cup Playoff games last season, helping the Penguins to the League championship.
"This is my first time seeing what's known as one of the best buildings in the League. It was very impressive when I first walked in. The facilities are first-class, and to see all these names and pictures around the room …" he added, the sentence trailing off.
To Murray's right, following Team North America's first practice, sat John Gibson and Connor Hellebuyck, fellow goalies he had faced at opposite ends of minor league and junior rinks but had met for the first time on Sunday.
It's commonly believed the starting job in goal for Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey 2016 is Murray's to lose, given the poise and skill he showed as an untried rookie in the crucible of playoff hockey.
That he barely had time to change out of his equipment following the Penguins' championship run actually might not hurt either.
"It's by far the shortest summer I've ever had, especially with the World Cup starting early," Murray said. "We (the Penguins) played as late as you possibly can. Maybe it can help -- you kind of feel you're still in the mix without having had much time to relax."
Murray had a stellar .923 save percentage and 2.08 goals-against average in the playoffs. Only after the Penguins' Stanley Cup parade did the full experience come into focus.
"I was able to look back and watch some replays and video during the summer, and that's when it hit me what had happened," he said. "When you're in the moment, you're so focused on winning that you don't realize what's happening until it's over. But once you get home and decompress a little bit, you're able to look back and really enjoy it."

The reality dawned even more clearly in mid-July when Murray took the Cup home to Thunder Bay, Ontario, to share it with his hometown.
"I brought the Cup to the local mall and 3,000 or 4,000 people came to see it," he said. "One of the reasons we play hockey is to inspire people. To see the reaction of people in my hometown, to see the looks on some kids' faces, was probably the best moment."
Murray has had just one taste of serious international hockey, having played seven games for Canada when it won the bronze medal at the 2012 IIHF Under-18 World Championship.
"I was cut from World Juniors every year," he said with a shrug.
A playoff series, he says, is probably the only thing that comes close to the World Cup, given the huge importance of every game.
"That and minor-hockey tournaments," he said, grinning. "It's all about performing in the moment. You really need to win every game. … That has to be our expectation now."
Murray chuckled about any edge held by Penguins teammates who this month will be shooting on him as World Cup opponents, having a bit of a book on him from NHL practices.
"I don't think that helps them any more than knowing them helps me," he said. "In a game scenario, everything's a little different. In practice, guys are coming down the pipe with all kinds of time, but in a game, that's not the case. It's a bit of a wash. They know some of your tendencies, as I know theirs. But in a game, I'm not really looking at who has the puck as much as I am the hands of the shooter and the curve on his stick. I don't necessarily know which player has the puck … depending on who you're talking about."
Murray, and every player who will take aim against him, should know this soon enough. Everyone in this tournament will go from a few practices and three pretournament games to high-intensity, pressure-packed hockey in a heartbeat. No one will have a handful of games, as they do at the start of an NHL season, to work out the kinks and find the groove.
"I don't think it's going to be much of a work-your-way-into-it situation," Murray said. "It's going to be all-out, right from the puck drop of the first pretournmament game because guys are trying to get ready for Game 1. You have to take every practice seriously, bear down a lot more in practice, and get more out of it. You're not going to get a whole lot of chances before the tournament starts."
And then, it will be right back into the fire as defending Stanley Cup champion, everyone wanting to dethrone the Penguins.
"The pinnacle of hockey is the Stanley Cup, and there's no better feeling as a team than being able to win that," Murray said. "But you need some perspective. We're starting early this year, and I know the Stanley Cup hangover is a big thing that's always talked about. You want to get right back into it. We enjoyed it over the summer, but now we're back in business and we're focused on the task at hand."

Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow — a local B-list celebrity, fawning mafiosi, and convicted murder-conspirator and drug-runner — wore a court-ordered ankle bracelet for years while allegedly running a $2.29 million money-laundering fiefdom in Chinatown. During that time, he curried favor with politicians, posted scads of photographs on Facebook, and quietly waited for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to process his S-visa application (the so-called "snitch" visa for government informants), which would make him a permanent resident.
He also lobbied state Sen. Leland Yee to get the bracelet removed — a proposal that Yee ultimately rejected. Chow would remain ensconced within a well-defined pocket of San Francisco, his movements tracked, and documented, by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officer. Per the feds' exceedingly detailed affadavits, that didn't stop him from moving contraband.
By overseeing a secret network in plain sight of law enforcement, Chow came to illustrate one of the shortcomings of a technology that some city officials hail as an antidote to over-incarceration. Ankle bracelets gather data about a convict's whereabouts, keeping him or her within a circumscribed area and providing automated detention. But someone still has to keep watch. Unless that data is carefully analyzed, it reveals little about what the wearer is actually doing.
Still, local politicians are aggressively pushing for these devices. In 2013, the city had 359 people on electronic monitors — its highest number in five years. That June, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi began crusading for legislation that would broaden his authority to release people from jail and put them on devices, whether or not they'd been deemed "low-risk" by the courts. Stumping for the ordinance at a February public safety meeting, he told city supervisors that the monitors had spared the city 24,362 days of jail custody in 2013, which translates into considerable savings: It costs about $135 a day to keep someone in jail. In comparison, monitors cost around $1,200 to $1,300 a pop, but in most cases, the convicts are stuck footing the bill. (Proponents of electronic monitoring hew to a doctrine of personal responsibility; they believe restitution — even to a jailer or taxpayers — is the first step toward recognizing one's misdeeds.)
So, ankle bracelets could divert tons of money back into city coffers. "Certainly, if you're using it to release people from jail, there's a return on investment," says San Francisco's Chief Probation Officer, Wendy Still.
If the sheriff's proposal moves forward, San Franciscans may see the beginnings of an increasingly robotized criminal justice system. Progressive politicians roundly support the devices; Public Defender Jeff Adachi contends that they're still "severely under-used." On May 1, the city inked a new deal with correctional vendor LCA Services ("LCA" stands for "Leaders in Community Alternatives"), whose president, Linda Connelly, is gearing up to shill more tracking bracelets, transdermal alcohol detectors, and other penal apparatuses. Per its contract, LCA has three years to wring a maximum of $2 million out of the city.
Ankle monitors promise a brave new world for San Francisco, and yet the hype around them fits right into a historical pattern. San Francisco has a reputation for latching onto the latest and greatest policing technologies — including surveillance cameras, gunfire detection microphones, and the crime-mapping system CompStat — only to find out later that they don't work, or provide a redundant service, or aren't the salve they purport to be.
San Francisco has already done a remarkable job of reducing its jail population by steering inmates into rehabilitation programs and cutting drug prosecutions in half. Whereas other regions are desperate to alleviate overcrowding, San Francisco's jail is running at a 30-50 percent vacancy rate. Politicians are gearing up to build a new jail downtown, which the city might not be capable of filling — a good problem to have.
And now, electronic monitoring is poised to become the next big innovation. It could change San Francisco's law enforcement strategy, allowing nonviolent offenders to live at home, clearing the jail, and saving thousands of dollars in the process. Or, it could burden the city with a population of criminals it's unable to supervise — and oceans of data it's unequipped to paddle through.
But the temptation of innovation is there, and with a hell of a sales pitch: While other devices merely collect crime data, a GPS-equipped ankle bracelet promises to obviate the demand for penal infrastructure. Why lock people in cells when their whole prison experience could be condensed into one piece of wearable gadgetry?
Fine-boned and stern, with a flinty Alabama accent, Linda Connelly probably could have hawked any household product to the citizens of San Francisco. But her focus is corrections. Over four decades of working in the criminal justice system, she held positions in a federal prison and a halfway house, before getting fixated on GPS tracking technology. Connelly founded LCA in 1991, and has since established herself as a big player in the industry, delivering GPS devices, alcohol trackers, drug testing, and case-management services to eight California counties.
Holding court in her Market Street office on a recent Tuesday, Connelly showcases LCA's latest offerings: two black rubber policing devices, arrayed on a coffee table next to a glass of tea and a bouquet of dried flowers. One, the Omnilink GPS bracelet, is a thick band of interwoven tamper wires with a giant box on the end; the other, called a SCRAM device, detects alcohol as it evaporates off the wearer's skin.
"Over the years there's been a huge debate," Connelly says, pointing at the GPS box. "Do we make them small and unobtrusive so there's not a stigma? Or do we make them big and obnoxious, like a Scarlet Letter?"
The current versions fall somewhere in between, she says. They're just small enough to hide under a baggy pant leg, but big enough to stand out if someone dons a dress or shorts — which was the case with a bracelet-wearer sitting in the lobby that morning. His monitor bulged conspicuously over a blue Adidas sandal.
Today's electronic monitors were conceived through years of trial and error. The first devices, unveiled in the mid-'90s, were batteries placed in backpacks that weighed several pounds — and were apparently easy to remove. These spawned tracking devices attached to belts that resembled fanny packs. And these eventually begat the ankle tether, which, Connelly says, has been refined and molded into its current, elegant state.
Through the years, convicts have tried to defeat it in all manner of ways, using lubricants, steel rods, or scissors. People have tried — unsuccessfully, Connelly says — to layer chicken skin along the inside of the SCRAM alcohol reader, thinking it might simulate their own skin. Some convicts stick business cards between their ankles and the bracelet bands, thinking it might interfere with the detection system. (That, too, is futile, Connelly says.) Tampering was somewhat easier back when companies put the fetters on wrists instead of ankles: With a shudder, Connelly remembers one particularly thickset convict slid his device off with soap.
It won't happen again, she says. Her staff subjects each new product to rigorous testing aimed at outsmarting the machinery. They've baffled home breathalyzer devices that use facial recognition software, merely by changing the angle of the camera. They've cut the bands on ankle bracelets to test their alarm systems, placed objects between bracelets and skin, and taken GPS gadgets into remote areas that the satellites might not cover.
"If you have equipment that's not working properly, it's terrible — for everybody," Connelly says, adding that she's shipped many a monitor back to its manufacturer. The ones that remain are either exceedingly difficult to remove, or remarkably successful at instilling Big Brother-style complacency: According to Connelly, some 85 to 90 percent of the offenders that LCA serves don't repeat the program. Presumably, they're reformed by the wearable jail.
Then there are people like Shrimp Boy, who feign obeisance but purportedly don't actually change their ways. It turns out you don't have to hack an ankle cuff off — or even stray from your restricted GPS route — to flout the law.
That came to light recently in Anaheim, where two paroled sex offenders were arrested in April for raping and murdering four women while wearing their ankle bracelets. They allegedly stuck one victim's body on a conveyor belt in a trash dump.
The Anaheim homicides weren't an indictment of ankle bracelet technology, per se. Both men's devices were functioning properly, generating precise location data that would later trace them to the scene of the crime. Neither convict had left his prescribed orbit.
But data alone didn't tell law enforcement that the two parolees were consorting with one another. And there's the rub, says George Drake, president of Correct Tech, a company in New Mexico that manufactures software for monitoring devices. "Tracking devices show locations, but they can't tell you what an offender is thinking or doing," he says.
In fact, the two Anaheim parolees were being monitored by two different federal agencies that didn't share data, which limited their ability to detect anomalies — like two sex offenders being at the same place at the same time. "We're working on that," Drake says.
Connelly says that a Canadian company, G2 Research, has already developed software to scour electronic monitoring data for aberrations, which should be available in San Francisco next month. It could have prevented the homicides, she assures. It's much better than a human case manager perusing a stack of daily reports.
But that hits on another problem that's particularly pervasive in San Francisco. Our confidence in machines — and law enforcement machinery, in particular — sometimes gets the better of us. We address the deficiencies of our technology by piling on more technology, sometimes without building in the necessary human infrastructure.
Still, of all the high-tech policing experiments that San Francisco has tried, electronic monitoring seems the most promising. It would save money, disgorge the jail population, and potentially set offenders on the right path. The city is in a good position to test it out, and will be a pioneer if it works. The technology is there; all that's needed is the human element: someone to read the data, someone to make sure the machine is working at all.
In August 2007, then-Supervisor Mirkarimi angrily stood before the city's public safety committee. San Francisco Housing Authority had spent thousands of dollars installing 178 cameras in public housing complexes the year before, ostensibly to prevent violent crime.
And yet, murders went up in public housing that year.
Mirkarimi was incensed. He recounted four homicides that occurred during a six-week period at the corner of Eddy and Laguna streets — an area supposedly saturated with security cameras.
"And yet now we're hearing that [the cameras] aren't useful," Mirkarimi told the assembled crowd. "How is that possible?"
Housing Authority assistant general counsel Tim Larsen rattled off a series of excuses. Many murders happen at night, he noted, so the lighting is bad. And the camera's field of vision is limited. And these machines aren't manned; most of their footage just gets hoarded, unless someone asks the Housing Authority to examine it.
After the hearing, Mirkarimi took a ladder and climbed up a housing project wall to extract one of the cameras and figure out why no one was looking at its footage. Apparently, someone had installed it with the lens pointing at the sky.
"The incompetence was just earth-shattering," Mirkarimi recalls now. It wasn't the only instance in which a sleek piece of data-gathering technology would fail to account for human error.
In January 2009, San Francisco police got an alert from the city's gunfire microphone system, ShotSpotter, tracing gunfire in the Hunters View public housing project. Sensors scattered throughout the area had picked up the sound and routed it to a central server, which alerted the cops, who rushed to the scene around 2:30 a.m.
When they got there, the neighborhood was dark from a lack of streetlights. Police combed the weeds for evidence, for a body or a gun, but found nothing. They eventually left; ShotSpotter had been known for delivering "false positives" in the past, occasionally mistaking fireworks, or other explosions, for gunshots.
It was up to project residents to discover 24-year-old Darren Johnson at daybreak, long after he'd bled to death. By then, his assailant was long gone; the cops had little hope of apprehending a suspect.
San Franciscans took the story as evidence of ShotSpotter's inadequacy: It had summoned police to a crime scene, but it couldn't fix the area's dilapidated streetlights, or draw out any residents who could help. It revealed failings in public safety, but didn't help solve them. Residents couldn't help but question the city's $206,000-a-year gunfire detection system, which Mirkarimi had campaigned for in 2005 — on grounds that it would yank San Francisco into the 21st century. Oakland would scrap its own ShotSpotter network a few years later, saying the technology was redundant, because residents call in to report gunshots, anyway.
But ShotSpotter did have upsides. It provided evidence in prosecutions; so, too, have surveillance cameras and ankle bracelets. (Although federal agents failed to prevent the Anaheim homicides from happening, they now have ample data tying both bracelet-wearers to the crime scene.) It's also helped dispatch police to neighborhoods they might have previously ignored. Years ago, residents of the Bayview and the Western Addition were left to shoulder violent crime on their own, according to Mirkarimi. "There was so much gunfire that police just literally stopped responding," the sheriff says.
ShotSpotter helped alleviate that problem, establishing itself as a useful data-gathering tool for the city's embattled police force. It helped, but it didn't quell homicides.
San Francisco might see a similar problem with electronic monitors, if the city implements more devices but lacks the staff to manage them. When Supervisor Norman Yee asked Mirkarimi if he'd hire more deputies in the event that San Francisco doubled its number of ankle bracelets, the sheriff was noncommittal.
"You could suggest that," Mirkarimi mused, "but likely the person on electronic monitoring isn't going to run afoul." In an email, the sheriff reiterates that he'll work with his existing staff to manage the additional monitors.
So far, the evidence skews in Mirkarimi's favor. But his ankle bracelet campaign is still a leap of faith — even Connelly acknowledges that there's still a dearth of research on the efficacy of these devices.
As Mirkarimi presses on with his electronic monitoring ordinance, he still faces a formidable opponent within city government.
District Attorney George Gascón balked at the sheriff's proposal to be given authority to release inmates at his discretion and monitor them with ankle bracelets. Such a law would bypass the current system of checks and appraisals that keeps dangerous offenders in custody, Gascón says. As of last year, San Francisco's jail harbored some 500 inmates who were awaiting trial, and who could only be released at the courts' discretion. For Mirkarimi, those "pre-trial" detainees are a pivotal point of contention: Many are locked up because they can't afford bail, he argues, which essentially makes the city's Hall of Justice a debtor's prison. Meanwhile, they cost taxpayers $135 a day. They'd be far better off serving time at home and supporting their families, he says.
This is not unprecedented; sheriffs in other counties have authority to release inmates, because these counties with their overflowing jails have had a need for a quick way to turn offenders loose. San Francisco, with its low incarceration rates, hasn't had that pressure.
Crafted to attract both progressives and fiscal conservatives, the ordinance seems well-intentioned, but also politically calculating. It would, as Gascón points out, entrust the sheriff with powers traditionally granted to the district attorney and the courts. It would also potentially adjust the city's needs for a new jail. In January, Mirkarimi approached the Board of Supervisors to stump for a 640-bed jail to replace the city's larger, rundown Hall of Justice — though budget and legislative analyst reports suggested San Francisco could get by with a much cheaper, 384-bed facility.
Only two weeks ago, the sheriff announced to local media that San Francisco's jails are half empty; an ordinance designed to release more people on electronic monitoring would only accelerate that downward trend. Asked whether he would adjust his 640-bed figure in light of the changing landscape, Mirkarimi says the city controller will release a new recommendation for San Francisco's jail needs at the end of 2015. At that point, he says, the size and need of the replacement jail will "become more evident."
The size of the proposed jail is one of a number of things Gascón and Mirkarimi have butted heads over. In truth, the two have long had a contentious relationship.
When Mirkarimi first floated the 640-bed jail proposal, Gascón was one of the only city officials to oppose it. And, two years ago, Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for false imprisonment charges stemming from a confrontation with his wife. Gascón questioned the sheriff's sincerity, and suggested the case go to trial.
Now, Gascon is fighting the idea of giving the sheriff the authority to release inmates. In February, the district attorney sent a letter to the mayor and the Board of Supervisors, arguing that Mirkarimi's proposed ordinance raised serious concerns about public safety. The sheriff isn't present during an inmate's bail review, and isn't privy to all the information held by other law enforcement agencies, Gascón pointed out.
"I'm very concerned that this legislation would erode San Francisco's ability to adequately determine who is and who is not a good candidate for in-home custody programs," the district attorney concluded.
Members of the public safety committee had no choice but to subject the sheriff to a cross-examination, and send the ordinance back for further review. The sheriff says he'll present an amended version within the next month.
Ironically, the two politicians have often held similar views on technology and criminal justice. Gascón, too, was a tech evangelist when he served as chief of police from 2009 to 2011. He helped the city implement its CompStat computerized tracking system, which compiles crime statistics and helps assess hot spots — the effectiveness of which has also been subject to criticism. He told the Board of Supervisors he's currently developing a "scientifically based risk assessment tool" to accomplish the same goal as Mirkarimi — release more detainees back into the community, and save taxpayer money in the process.
Thus, Gascón and Mirkarimi generally agree on what's good for San Francisco law enforcement, but they're also locked in an arms race to upstage and out-modernize one another. And ever since Mirkarimi began preaching the ankle bracelet gospel, Gascón has expressed reservations.
"The technology I trust," he says. "The question is how do we determine when it should be used." And, he cautions, a tracking device has limitations. It traces movement, provides accountability, and theoretically encourages good behavior. But it won't single-handedly stop anyone from committing a crime.
Videos of convicts removing their ankle bracelets abound on YouTube. People use lotions and slip their bands over plastic bags, attack the cuffs with bolt cutters, loosen them with screwdrivers, zap themselves by tampering with the wiring. In theory, each removal attempt triggers an alert at the probation department, and potentially slaps the offender with a felony; in practice, a lot of broken bracelets seem to slip through the cracks. One anonymous blogger claims he could detach his ankle bracelet to go swimming, by sliding a two-foot steel rod underneath it and twisting until the rivets popped off. Members of hacker forums believe the signals on ankle bracelets are easy to modify; it's worth noting that their chips aren't as advanced as those used in most smartphones.
George Drake says that's all part of the deal. "These devices weren't meant to be locked on a leg and never taken off," Drake assures. "They're not like handcuffs." Nor are they monitored in real time: Case managers receive a stack of daily reports on convicts' movements, which they can scan for peculiarities — but they aren't constantly sitting in front of a computer screen, following dots on a GPS map.
In fact, the whole philosophy behind tracking devices is that they provide offenders with a modicum of freedom — and with it, responsibility. They can be programmed with varying restrictions, designed to keep a gang member off a certain block, or ensure that a drug addict follows the same route to his rehab center every day. In some cases, the punishment is mostly abstract: a bulging, electronic manacle to indicate that Big Brother is still watching, albeit sporadically.
Some academic studies — such as a 2012 report from the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C. — suggest that electronic monitoring vastly reduces an individual's propensity to reoffend, when compared to regular probation programs. But that doesn't mean that tracking devices can be seen as a carte blanche alternative to regular incarceration, the authors caution. Ramping up home detention — a strategy that other counties are already trying, because their jails are bursting at the seams — is still largely untested.
Other counties don't have options; San Francisco, by contrast, has succeeded in running a uniquely undercrowded prison system. This may be a good time to experiment. A carefully managed electronic monitoring program — with strong communication between departments, and solid criteria for who gets released — could be a rousing success. It might reduce recidivism; it could save San Francisco enough money to offset the risk. It would further lessen the reliance on city jails. A poorly orchestrated program, however, could present risks to public safety.
Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow might be an apt poster child for the perils of tracking technology. Throughout his home detention sentence, he presented himself as an ex-gang member who'd chosen to do right, seemingly deluding everyone from Mayor Ed Lee to U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. That whole do-gooder ruse unraveled in March, when Chow got caught in the same massive federal sting that ensnared state Sen. Leland Yee. He's now facing decades in prison and a voluminous rap sheet. He'd allegedly managed to run a sprawling criminal empire in plain site of law enforcement — though, granted, he never succeeded in getting the ankle bracelet removed.

I did not go as I am not that attracted to her voice. I shall admit to having a few of her songs on my music box, but very rarely listen to them, unless I have an irate driver in front of me and then a little bit of wining gets me going.
Anyhooooooooo, even though I did not attend the concert, I have it through other sources that Amy was not thrilled to be here....she should be blimin lucky really, all things considered that she has made it through the trip unscathed (there is still time), unlike what she did in Norway.

YBF chicks Zendaya and Angela Simmons turned heads in sparkly ensembles on the red carpet at the 2015 BET Awards. Peep the dazzling divas inside…
Disney star Zendaya loves changing up her look. And we love anticipating what she's going to do next.
The "K.C. Undercover" star showed off her long legs in a glittery shirtdress by Nicolas Jebran paired with sky-high Roberto Cavalli platform sandals on the carpet before hitting the stage to present. Much different from her Oscars' faux locs, the teen went for a short cropped coif. And for those who have something to say about her pixie cut, she tweeted:
When people don't like your hair but they tweetin bout you tho….. #idgaf #idgaf pic.twitter.com/03PQxkEd1B

Also lighting up the carpet…
Fashion designer and hot bodied chick Angela Simmons shut it down in a sparkly Patrícia Bonaldi mini dress which she styled with silver Christian Louboutin pointed pumps.
She finished her look with long, flowy tresses and a barely there face beat. We love every bit of it.

Cyberlibertarians' Digital Deletion of the Left • © [jacobinmag.com]
The digital revolution, we are told everywhere today, produces democracy. It gives "power to the people" and dethrones authoritarians; it levels the playing field for distribution of information critical to political engagement; it destabilizes hierarchies, decentralizes what had been centralized, democratizes what was the domain of elites.
Most on the left would endorse these ends. The widespread availability of tools whose uses are harmonious with leftist goals would, one might think, accompany broad advancement of those goals in some form. Yet the left today is scattered, nearly toothless in most advanced democracies. If digital communication technology promotes leftist values, why has its spread coincided with such a stark decline in the Left's political fortunes?

Is Internal Crowdfunding in the Enterprise Set to Take Off? [resultsfromcrowds.com]
A number of companies are experimenting with internal crowdfunding. This has the potential to be a successful way to spark innovation and evaluate employee-generated ideas.
Given the attention that crowdfunding and Kickstarter have had in the media over the past two years, it is surprising that more large enterprises have not experimented with crowdfunding internally with employees.
Ideation platforms, where employees can contribute suggestions and ideas and then vote on the best ones to implement, are now commonplace in both large and small companies. Some of these schemes have been in place for over a decade.
Similarly, arguing the business case for your own initiative is now part of corporate culture, and some organisations have an "innovation" fund for new projects which may be regarded as extraordinary spend, above and beyond normal functional or departmental budgets.
With idea management widespread and pitching for funding part a frequent activity, perhaps enterprise crowdfunding is not such a huge cultural leap.

Couple design and build a mortgage free home for $33k [interestingengineering.com]
The house that you see here comes complete with two sitting rooms, a kitchen with a dining table, wood stove, plenty of storage and a bathroom. However what's different about this small mortgage free home is that it is in fact very small, at just eight feet wide – which is just 46 inches than the world's narrowest house we reported on.
Another thing that may astound you is the cost. It comes in at $33,000 and this includes all the appliances. This small home was designed and built by a couple who wanted to be free of the burden of a mortgage and so built themselves a home so that they could live in Oregon on five acres of land that they own.

Sharing Is Caring, Unless It Costs You Your Job [NYTimes.com]
For travelers trying to economize, the ability to rent someone's spare bedroom is a real breakthrough. Cities like New York, London and Paris are easier to visit than they have been in many years.
But for those who actually work in the hotel industry, this business model is bad news: Airbnb and its imitators might eventually put them out of a job.
A new study by researchers at Boston University demonstrates for the first time that as the so-called sharing economy rises, the traditional lodging industry gets squeezed. For every 1 percent increase in the size of the Airbnb market, the researchers found, hotel revenue slips 0.05 percent.
That does not sound like much of a drop. But Airbnb is expanding at a rapid clip.

Block by Block, Detroit's Startup Scene Revives a Great City [Mashable]
… despite the bankruptcy, crime, urban desolation and despair, a different story is emerging. Slowly, the Detroit phoenix seems to be peeking from its very substantial ashes. Slowly, the Detroit phoenix seems to be peeking from its very substantial ashes.
The lunchtime walk from the MGM Grand is weird. It's cold, there are no cars. It is reminiscent of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, where everyone stays inside — only the crazy or naive walk. Across the Detroit river is Canada. The smokestacks and stacked aerials are the perfect setting for a Springsteen song.
But at 1555 Broadway Street, just across from the Detroit Opera House, a once-famous building has become the lodestone for the city\'s regeneration, a coworking space that houses startups — even a company known as Twitter.
The M@dison Theater was originally built in 1917 and was crumbling away until it reopened in 2011. It was purchased by Dan Gilbert, the chairman of Rock Ventures and Quicken Loans, the largest online retail mortgage lender in the U.S.

It is an active principle and raw material in many ayurvedic medicines. The main action of this nannari is as a coolant. It cools down the body. It is used generally in many syrup preparations and it is known as sharbhat in hindi and sarbath in tamil.
Nannari roots or Sugandhi – 250 gms
Water – 2 lts
Sugar – 1 kg
Citric Acid – large pinch
Lemon Juice – as required
Ice cubes – as required
1.Pound the washed Sarasaparilla roots in a mortar and discard the central white portion of the roots, Collect the outer dark portion of the roots and sun dry for a day. Soak these roots in 2 liters of water overnight. On soaking, the liquid turns a dark color due to the roots.
2.Next day morning, boil the roots along with the soaked water till it reduces to half of its original quantity, approx 1 liter. Strain the liquid with a double layered cheesecloth so that no particles trickle down. Pour the strained liquid into another clean heavy bottomed vessel.
3.To this liquid, add 1 kg sugar and heat it till it turns slightly thick and sticky, approx 15 mts on low medium flame. Do not over boil it. Cool completely and store the dark brown liquid in a clean bottle.
4.If you want to preserve the syrup, add a pinch of citric acid and mix. I usually store the sweetened nannari syrup without citric acid in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.
5.To prepare Nannari sarbath, pour 3 heaped tablespoons of the Nannari syrup into a tall glass, add 1 1/2 tbsps of lemon juice and pour chilled water. Add ice cubes and serve.
6.To prepare Sugandhi Soda, pour 3 heaped tablespoons of the Nannari syrup into a tall glass, add 1 1/2 tbsps of lemon juice and pour soda to the brim. Add ice cubes and serve.
Nannari syrup slightly thickens on cooling.
You can preserve the syrup without adding sugar by refrigerating it for 2 to 3 weeks. Use jaggery syrup or dates syrup to sweeten the Nannari sarbath.
In Rayalseema region, Nannari lassi is sold by road side hawkers during the summer months. To prepare Nannari Lassi, beat 1/2 cup thick yogurt/curd till smooth, add 1/2 cup chilled water and pinch of salt. In a tall glass, add 2 tbsps of nannari syrup, pour the prepared thick buttermilk, place ice cubes and serve.

I did email LOAF at least once to follow up on this effort, but did not get a reply. You might PM LOAF and see if he can tell you what the status is.

Audit (A-07-09-02754)
Review of the Reconciliation and Reporting of Medicaid Non-Risk Contract Payments by the Utah Department of Health (A-07-09-02754)
Executive Summary
The Utah Department of Health, Division of Health Care Financing (the State agency), which administers the Medicaid program in Utah, adequately fulfilled the requirements of the upper payment limit (UPL) reconciliation for nonrisk managed care contracts and did not appear to exceed the UPL for reporting year 2007; however, there were areas in which the State agency could improve the completeness, accuracy, and transparency of the UPL reconciliation process. Moreover, for State fiscal year 2008 the State agency did not accurately report payments made under the nonrisk managed care contracts.
The UPL constitutes the maximum amount that is eligible for Federal reimbursement. Federal requirements for nonrisk contracts stipulate that a State Medicaid agency must have a process in place to assure that the nonrisk contractor�s total payments do not exceed what the State agency would have paid, on a fee-for-service basis, under the State Medicaid plan.

text: Beverage giant PepsiCo Inc., which shed its low-profit fast-food businesses KFC and Pizza Hut last year, said it will split its North American bottling company from its drinks business. The No. 2 soft drink maker said the new structure will make it easier for the bottling business to go public, an option the company has been studying since July. Analysts have said Pepsi would raise "many billions of dollars" if it were to mimic Coca-Cola Co.'s spinoff of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc., in which the parent initially retained 49% of the bottler. The bottling unit would be called Pepsi Bottling Group and would comprise all North American bottling operations owned by PepsiCo. The concentrate unit would be called Pepsi-Cola North America and comprise non-bottling elements. In NYSE trading, shares of Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo fell 56 cents to close at $30.44.

What Do You Know About Services
Why Electrical Jobs Should Be Left To Residential Electricians? Basically, residential electricians are professionals who received proper training to deal with any type of electrical work at home. The broad nature of electrical work for various modern homes is the same reason why a big number of electricians nowadays are licensed and were trained properly at their trade. The work goes typically in phases and it begins with a simple rough wiring of the house and will end up eventually as finished product with outlets, lights and everything else. Possibly, one of the most critical aspects done by an electrician in a residential home is running the wire across the house. Despite the fact that electrical wiring is what feeding power to almost everything you have in the house, it is still being taken for granted as homeowners don't see it. You'll need to have a main electric line that goes in the house with a meter that's controlled by your local power company in order to power these wires. When the house is wired, what the residential electrician has to do now is to wait for the house's interior to be done before they begin installing the switches, receptacles and several other fixtures. Residential electricians in addition are taking care of running power to appliances in your house. There are few other specialty items that these professionals can work on like security systems, hot tubs, automatic gates, alarm systems, exterior lighting as well as other custom touches that majority of the modern homes have now. Electricians are evolving their trade constantly because they need to keep up with latest trends in electrical works. Many new stuff released in the market every single day and it's their job to be knowledgeable installing it and making it work.
The 10 Best Resources For Electricians
Due to the reason that electrical work may be quite complicated and has lots of safety precautions, this is often the reason why you must only work with professional company who has licensed electricians. After all it is not worth taking the risk to hire inexperienced person to carry out the electrical work for you since electrical failure can result to fire and make your house unlivable. It means that you no longer have the convenience of today's life in the event that your power goes out. To make things simple to understand, it is essential that you leave all electrical jobs only to professional residential electricians.
The 10 Best Resources For Electricians
It is yet another reason why you shouldn't think twice to call professionals if you are in need of repair work or upgrade. Many companies are offering 24/7 service primarily for emergency electrical repairs this way, you'll never left out of the dark.

John Bonaventura is still fighting to remain the Las Vegas Township constable even though his job and his office ceased to exist over the weekend.
His last day as constable was officially Sunday, but Bonaventura on Monday filed an emergency motion asking the Nevada Supreme Court to stop the County Commission from enforcing the abolition ordinance it passed in March, 2013.
Bonaventura's motion also seeks a court ruling prohibiting the deputies who worked for him from losing their jobs.
With his constable term finished, it will take more than a court order to put Bonaventura back in office, so he also wants the court to force the county to hold a special election to fill the now-abolished office.
That latest motion questions whether the county actually abolished the office, and cites a county press release issued on Friday that noted "the constable's office will remain a separate entity."
County spokesman Erik Pappa declined to comment, as it's pending litigation.
Bonaventura, a former state legislator and son of a former constable, was elected to the position in 2010. He was paid an annual salary of $103,000 to run the office. While constables and deputies are sworn law enforcement officers with a badge and gun, their work is normally low-key — serving court papers and overseeing evictions.
But Bonaventura's first and only term was one of constant turmoil. His controversies included an online reality television pilot show with foul-mouthed deputies, financial conflicts with the county and turf disputes with neighboring constables and embarrassing caught-on-tape office conversations.
His financial accounting practices were creative. When the county didn't want to pay the costs of a lawsuit he filed against neighboring constables, he made an end-run by deputizing attorneys so they could be paid by his office.
The County Commission finally said enough in March 2013, and voted to abolish the position at the end of Bonaventura's four-year term.
Bonaventura's last-ditch legal efforts aren't impacting the transition from his former administration to the Metropolitan Police Department, which now oversees the functions of the office. The first day of constable's office operations under the oversight of the police department was uneventful and smooth, Metro Capt. Richard Forbus said Monday.
Clark County and Metro reached a memorandum of understanding in November for the transition. That agreement called for all of Bonaventura's deputies to lose their jobs, with Metro having the discretion to hire any it wants to keep.
Metro hired only five of Bonaventura's 19 deputies, with the rest losing their jobs.
Forbus said the operation will eventually have about 15 deputies selected through a new hiring process, and it will reflect Metro's culture and ethics. He declined to comment on Bonaventura's tenure, noting he wasn't there at the time.
He did say the goal is to make the transition as seamless and smooth for customers as possible.
Forbus said Metro's constables won't issue cite owners of Nevandans driving vehicles with out-of-state license plates, which was discontinued last year in light of a pending lawsuit in federal court over the practice.
