Norse Women Upset Florida Gulf Coast in Big Win at Home
From NKUNorse.com
The Northern Kentucky University women's basketball team handed Florida Gulf Coast its first regular-season Atlantic Sun Conference loss since the 2010-11 season with a 63-43 victory on Saturday at The Bank of Kentucky Center.
Kayla Thacker scored 16 of her game-high 22 points in the first half to lead NKU past FGCU, which had not suffered a conference setback since falling to South Carolina Upstate on Feb. 28, 2011, and saw its 44-game streak snapped.
The senior guard from Mt. Washington, Ky., finished 8-for-10 from the floor, including a perfect 6-for-6 in the opening 20 minutes, and 4-for-5 from behind the 3-point arc. She also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds as the Norse won the battle on the boards by a 36-23 margin to remain perfect (6-0) on the year when outrebounding the opponent.
"I hadn't said this to our team or to Kayla, but even before the Stetson game this week, during practice, I thought Kayla's leadership skills took on a whole new level," NKU head coach Dawn Plitzuweit said. "She started really communicating more so than ever – encouraging her teammates.
"You could tell that it really meant something to her. So whatever she did or whatever our upperclassmen did or whatever all our kids did was really a tribute to how much they wanted to compete. That's really what it all comes down to. If you want to compete, then the sky's the limit for you."
The first half was a story of runs. Thacker scored the first seven NKU points, and the Norse used a 7-0 spurt to take a 9-4 lead with 14:37 left before the break. FGCU later took advantage of a 12-0 run to regain the lead at 21-13 with 7:19 left in the half, capped by a layup by Katie Meador, which was the largest deficit of the game for the Norse.
NKU, however, closed the half with a 19-0 run to take a 32-21 advantage into halftime as the defense held FGCU scoreless after the Meador layup.
"We just had so much energy," Thacker said. "Before the game even started, we were a completely different team. We were so pumped, and we were so ready. We just knew that after that loss on Thursday (to Stetson), we were not going to do that again – now or ever. We were just so energized and communicating. I think that helped us out a lot."
The Norse shot 52.2 percent from the field in the first half while limiting the Eagles to just 32 percent. The NKU defense forced three shot clock violations and took advantage of 10 Eagle turnovers in the opening stanza to build its halftime lead.
Thacker drained a 3-pointer and Kelley Wiegman converted a layup to open the second half to stretch the Norse advantage to 37-21 before FGCU ended its scoring drought on two free throws by Sarah Hansen with 18:17 left on the clock.
The Norse defense did not back down in the second half, and back-to-back 3-point field goals by Christine Roush and Lauren White gave NKU its largest lead of the game at 55-33 with 7:17 remaining in the game before cruising to the win.
"I thought our kids played extremely hard," Plitzuweit said. "I don't know that they could have played any harder or any better defensively. I feel really fortunate to compete with Florida Gulf Coast. They're such a good program – they've been at the top of the conference for so long. And then, to find a way to pull it out was very special for our kids. All the credit goes to our players because I thought they played as hard as they could. I thought we did as good of a job as we've done in two years communicating."
The Norse finished the night 48.9 percent from the floor after going 11-for-24 in the second half and shot 50 percent (9-for-18) from long range. NKU, which improved to 11-9 overall and 7-2 in the Atlantic Sun, forced 21 FGCU turnovers and scored 19 points off those miscues as the Norse held the Eagles to their lowest point total of the season.
Wiegman finished with 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the floor for the Norse, while Kaitlyn Gerrety added six points and eight rebounds. White scored seven points and dished out a career-high seven assists against FGCU, which held a 2-0 advantage in the all-time series against the Norse entering the game.
Whitney Knight led the way for the Eagles, which fell to 14-7 overall and 8-1 in the Atlantic Sun, with 19 points and four blocked shots. Meador finished with eight points and five rebounds on the night, while Hansen, who entered the contest averaging 13.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game and was named the conference preseason Player of the Year, was limited to just six points and four rebounds.
"The feeling is incredible," Thacker said. "We're out there – a shot goes in and all of us are cheering. You could feel the bench cheering. We're all out on the court high-fiving and still cheering running down the court and talking on defense about who we have. It's an amazing feeling knowing that your team is there for you, backing you up 100 percent. It's awesome."
NKU hits the road for a pair of Atlantic Sun games next week, starting with a 7 p.m. contest Thursday against Mercer in Macon, Ga. The Norse will then take on Kennesaw State on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Kennesaw, Ga. Links to live stats, video and audio will be available at nkunorse.com.

TOP 10 tips of skin care routine for oily skin in summers
6 tips of skin care routine for oily skin in summers
Image credit: TwitterCleansing
One of the best tips for women with oily skin to get clear skin naturally is regular cleansing. Cleansing your face twice a day is enough for keeping it clean. Dont overdo the cleaning as it can over dry skin and trigger oil production from the sebaceous glands.
Image credit: TwitterEating habits
****tails and spicy foods may hit the spot on a hot night. But they won't do your skin any favors; they dilate blood vessels, and make you perspire.. And consider loading up instead on carrots, cantaloupe, and spinach; foods like these that are high in vitamin A can actually slow oil production.
Image credit: TwitterToning
Forget those harsh, skin-stripping astringents of the past that relied mainly on alcohol to dry out skin. Todays toners use a gentler approach, turning to botanical ingredients and essential oils that work as natural astringents while also hydrating and soothing skin.
Image credit: TwitterSunscreen lotion
A water based mattefying sunscreen is a good choice for oily skin as it helps keep your face shine free and gives you the protection you need. Look for at least SPF30++ for the best sunscreen effect! Try Total Effects Foaming Cleanser.
Image credit: TwitterExfoliation
Exfoliation is a process which involves getting rid of dead skin cells. It is a vital procedure for oily skin because it has a thick layer of dead cells which needs to be removed to avoid their clogging, which can otherwise cause acne and blackheads. Face cleansers containing Salicylic acid as an active ingredient are considered as effective exfoliators. Using an exfoliator just twice a week is sufficient.
Image credit: TwitterGo low on makeup
Substitute the heavy foundation for tinted moisturizing creams containing silicone that does not dissolve into the pores and clogs them. It also creates a barrier between skin and heat.

Instead of toasting the spring sunshine with a glass of Pimms or a glass of fizz, those looking for a refreshing treat can now cool down with Aldi's new range of ice pops.
The budget supermarket has introduced a new adult-only range of frozen popsicles with a boozy twist in time for the summer season.
The ice lollies, called Gianni's Alcoholic Ice, are priced at just £2.99 for a pack of 4 and come in two refreshing flavours; Gin & Tonic and Peach Bellini.
Gianni's Peach Bellini ice pop is made from a combination of peach and prosecco grown from the Padova and Venice regions of Italy, while the Gin & Tonic boasts zesty bursts of lemon flavour.
As well as fresh flavours and high quality ingredients the range offers a cheaper alternative to other alcohol ice lollies on the market, such as Fortnum & Mason's champagne ices priced at £50 a box.
Tony Baines, joint managing director of corporate buying at Aldi UK, said: 'We are proud to bring popular products and trends to our customers whilst staying committed to our low price promise.
'Although sunshine may not be guaranteed, our alcoholic popsicles are sure to be a hit with adults across the UK, whatever the weather! With an alcohol content of 4.5% Gianni's popsicles are a perfect way to kick off a summer party without the pre drinks.'
Thought of as Calippos for adults, the supermarket's new range follows on from the growing popularity of alcohol-infused ice pops, which have become a must-have at festivals, weddings and bars throughout London.
Latest Stories
This latest release comes weeks after Aldi sent shoppers into a frenzy over the budget candles they created in a bid to give shoppers a similar product to Jo Malone's offering. The cheaper candles flew off the shelves and are now a permanent fixture in Aldi stores thanks to their popularity. We wonder if the ice pops will have a similar success rate.
Aldi's alcoholic popsicle range launched on April 25th and is now available in stores nationwide in time for the bank holiday, and for future picnics and barbecues. If you're a cocktail fan you can always use our recipe to make your own boozy pops – its really easy. If you can drink it, you can freeze it.

The Voice of God Saying Follow Me
I'm always amazed when I read in the gospels of when Jesus began to call his disciples by saying, "follow me." They heard the life giving voice of God calling to their spirits.
Mathew 9:9
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
This is my uttermost desire, that people would here the voice of God saying "Follow Me" through the words I speak or the songs that I sing (I'm a Christian song writer). This can only be the work of the Holy Spirit, drawing a person to himself, and instantly they surrender their life to God. In order for God to speak through us in such a powerful way, we must give our lives to him, completely. We then ask him to trust us with this anointing of power to win the lost. God will do the work in us if we are sincere in surrendering our lives to him.
Prayer: Lord help me to be a witness for you. Create in me the ability to allow the Holy Spirit to flow through me the way that Jesus did. It's my desire to see heaven populated. God I want for people to hear your voice saying; "follow me" through my actions and words.

Mt. Doubt - In Awe Of Nothing
Mt. Doubt
is Edinburg's Leo Bargery, a man gifted with a warm baritone and the knack for creating swelling pop anthems that echo Springsteen, The National and Augustines. He may work his compositional magic in his bedroom, but the execution on his recently-released second LP,
In Awe Of Nothing
, has the feel and execution of a larger scope effort. The songwriting is strong, with dark, exploring lyrics balanced by compelling melodies. The talent on display is formidable, and the the songs will captivate the listener for a long, long time.
Three tracks are streamed below, but you can listen to/buy the entire album at the Bandcamp link below.

Today we'll be solving a practice SAT trigonometry problem and walking you through the steps to solve it!
If Sin(A)=0.5 and side BC=10, find the length of the hypotenuse, AB.
To set up this problem, we first need to think back to the definition of our trig functions. If you recall, the sine of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the opposite side over the hypotenuse, or
Given that Sin(A)=0.5, we can combine our two equations into
And with the knowledge that the side opposite of A has a length of 10, our equation now becomes
Moving h over gives us
and finally solving gives us
So our final answer is the hypotenuse, length AB, is 20 units long.
Bonus: What is the measure of angle A?
If you remember your special right triangles, you might notice that the relationship between one of our legs and the hypotenuse is 1:2, or in other words, this is one of our special right triangles, the 30-60-90 triangle!

50% off! Discount Discount!
In the States we are constantly bombarded with discounts and reductions; even moreso we have speciality stores that are ONLY for discounts. Not in France. Not in Lyon. In exactly 4 days 'Les soldes' are going to start in Lyon. In stark contrast to the capitalist tendancy for the sales in the States, France has stricter regulations according to when sales can happen; there is always a sale (or 'solde' in French) following Christmas. Much like a celebratory event, all the Lyonnais trapse into the streets of Bellecour hunting for a bargain.
Bri is excited as if it is Christmas, he keeps saying, "The soldes are next week!" as if he's shouting an oncoming Santa visit. I have a difficult time getting excited for the soldes because I personally will be doing no shopping this year. Think of it like a French version of Black Friday.
So. Briefly telling you:
Les Soldes will be starting on January 12th, Wednesday. If you have the guts you can get your gear out and elbow through the crowds. A simple word of advice from an American living in France: never open the door for someone else. As rude as it sounds, if you do this you will be stampeded. The French tend to push and shove, not wait and allow you to pass. It's a cultural thing.
Enjoy shopping!
From flip flops in Oregon to high heels in France, a young American who lived 3 years overseas, and now facing the backward culture shock of moving back.

D'Angelo Estate Vineyard originated in Montrose, Yarra Valley, in 1994 when Domenico D'Angelo started planting Pinot Noir grapes for himself. By 1997 the Pinot Noir grapes were ready to be harvested for the very first vintage. From the small amount of grapes that were harvested, Benny D'Angelo made the first batch of wine, two barrels in total.
After a few months Benny started to show his wine to friends in the wine industry and they were all quite impressed. He then decided to put the wine into several amateur wine shows and got some great accolades. In the meantime, Benny's father (Domenico) planted more Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon vines. From that, Domenico expanded the plantation of vines on his property to a full capacity of 7 acres in total.
In September 1999, Benny D'Angelo and his family bought 10 acres of land in Officer which faces Western Port Bay with French Island and Phillip Island in his views. Benny's first mission was to plant vines, and in January 2000 Benny planted 10 acres of vines, and the rest is history.
D'Angelo Estate Vineyard comprises of two vineyards, one in Officer and the other in Montrose, Victoria. The D'Angelo Estate Vineyard at Officer is located on the North Side of Princes Highway on the outskirt of Berwick, just 45 minutes south east of Melbourne. The topography of Officer makes an excellent site for growing cool climate varietals such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Shiraz and Viognier, which is ideal for bringing out the complex flavours of all these grapes. From the Yarra Valley Vineyard, D'Angelo Estate produces Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Both of these vineyards are family owned and are maintained by the D'Angelo family. Benny also produces Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from a premium low cropping vineyard in Langhorne Creek (S.A).
Our goal at D'Angelo Estate Vineyard is to produce a premium wine that "captures the essence of life"

Happy Monday!
It's the start of a new week and this week is the start of a new month and I have never looked forward to a new month so much before. There is a lot going on in September around here, including Blog-tember where I'll be blogging EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. of the month. In addition to that, I'll be doing the 30-day squat challenge and will be posting updates on Instagram, although I'm not sure what form those updates will take as I am not quite comfortable enough to post photos of my bum to the general public. I might just surprise you, though. ;) Make sure you are following along!

We'd meet up at your place and take full advantage of the cool morning by sitting in the cozy wicker chairs on your deck, thankful that fall is approaching. We'd sip on big mugs of gourmet hot chocolate with the homemade marshmallows I brought slowly melting away on the top.

The Trouble With the Back Up Plan
There are two types of people in this world. There are those who have a plan B, C, and D for every circumstance in life and there are those who just wing it.
Two years ago, I'd have said I was the former. I had a plan for everything with subsequent plans filed away, just in case. I spent most of my adult life plotting out every possible scenario, worrying about the 'what ifs' and devising ways to get around them. Prevent them, if you will. Because somewhere inside my head, I had convinced myself that you can keep bad things from happening to you if you devise a way to stay two steps ahead.

What I Read | July
Well, July has come and gone and I thought it would be fun to share some of the highlights from the bookshelf for the month. I usually read eight or more books in a month but slacked off a bit in July for several reasons. I did manage, however, to find some really good books and I'm happy about that.

Simple Gratitude | 40
First of all, can I just say that yesterday was one of the nicest days, as far as the weather was concerned, that we've had in a very long time? It was gorgeous. Secondly, I'd like to mention how excited I am that in just two weeks, the Grateful Heart Monday linkup will be back so we'll be joining Emily from Ember Grey and all the other wonderful bloggers that link up, and sharing our weekly gratitude posts. In the meantime...

Hello August | Goals
Hi, friends. Over the last several months since I started doing these goal posts, I've felt more at ease in my daily routine. This is likely because I have these clear and defined goals so I always know what to strive for. Sometimes I don't accomplish them all, and that's ok. Life happens and I can't plan for the unexpected, but I still like to view these goals as, sort of, a guiding objective in my creative life.

Summer Berry Crostata | Guest Post for Winstead Wandering
One of my favorite things to do is cook traditional Italian food and the only thing I love more than that is baking Italian pastries. Ok, maybe eating Italian pastries ranks up there too. I created this crostata recipe for a cookbook draft I'm working on and it's one of my family's favorites, so when Abby asked me to share a recipe on her blog, I knew this was the one!

Today we begin reading the book of James, and I decided that this would be another great book to blog my way through. I was talking with a friend the other day, and we both agreed that some days we read and it's a little dry. And then James comes along, and it's difficult to find only one thing to write about. This little letter is full of practical words from the Lord. In chapters 1 and 2 alone, I felt that there were three or four things that were highlighted this morning. I guess I'll have to pick one (not a bad problem to have).
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17
Two things about this verse jump out at me. The first is the word "Every." Anything in this world that is good, perfect, beautiful, generous, free, etc. comes from God. This applies to all people. It doesn't matter whether that person is a follower of Jesus or not; if it's good, it's from God! The question is, "What is our response?" That's where worship comes in. I should recognize that every good gift comes from my Father, and my response should be worship and gratitude. The second thing about this verse that jumped out at me is the reminder that God does not change. More important, His goodness and generosity will not change. It's almost as if it's impossible for this to change with God. And once again, the response is worship!
What will my response be to God today? Will it be indifference? Will I take His work for granted? Or will I worship Him?
Father, I thank you for your goodness and provision in my life. I know that I take your good work for granted so often. Help that to not be the case today. My I worship you through my words and my actions today.

Ray Garton's "Sinema," which is one of my faves of the era, standing up to the hypocrisy of religious mania; "More Sinned Against," from Wagner, a wicked whip-snap of Hollywood comeuppance; then there is Mick Garris, F. Paul Wilson, Robert Bloch, Richard Christian Matheson, and others lesser-known. But all are defiantly horror, passionately written and filled with enough perversity, bodily effluvia, and viscera - as well as dorky attempts at splatterpunky bad-assery - to embarrass the man who was once the boy who loved this stuff, and (usually) still does. Then there's an intro by director Tobe Hooper, and a rambling and overly chummy final end-note, "End-Sticks," from editor Schow. This was pretty standard for the day. I can't imagine what kind of trouble these dudes got up to at the horror conventions back then. If Wagner was around, you can bet it was a raging all-nighter.
But my favorite story in Silver Scream is Steven R. Boyett's "The Answer Tree." Wow. A skeevy film professor attends the secret showing of a deranged and legendary filmmaker's final movie, a mix of the midnight movies of Jodorowsky with the confrontation of Artaud and the surrealist imagery of Buñuel (who said horror fiction fans were cultural dullards? Or perhaps I'm compensating). In recent years lots of people loved John Carpenter's episode "Cigarette Burns" for Showtime's Masters of Horror, and I liked it too, but it was really already covered by Boyett's story: a film that will drive its viewers to madness and murder and beyond.
The hardcover was first published, also in 1988, by the now-defunct (as far as I can tell) Dark Harvest Publishers, who put out cool hardcover editions of mostly anthologies. But as usual, I prefer my original vintage paperback copy, which went for a cool $3.95 in 1988. That's okay with me. Hooray indeed.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — At the urging of officials in three southern Utah counties, the Utah Wildlife Board is pressing federal land managers to deal with an overpopulation of wild horses on the range.
Board members, at a meeting in Salt Lake City on Thursday, agreed to send a letter to Interior Secretary Sally and U.S. Bureau of Land Management state director Juan Palma urging a reduction in the number of horses on the range.
Officials in Iron, Beaver and Sanpete counties have expressed concern over the issue of rangeland degradation and the risks it poses to both livestock and wildlife.
Livestock and hunting group representatives also backed the request.
According to the BLM, Utah is home to 3,245 wild horses and burros, well above the "appropriate management level" of 1,956.

text: 65% of the buildings in Västerås, situated in the region of Mälardalen, Sweden were built before 1970. It is thus time for renovation. The situation is the same in most cities in Sweden and Northern Europe. The depth of renovation can be quite different. In this paper we evaluate some examples where cost is compared to energy saving effect. How to plan renovation to make use of the available capital in the cities is discussed. As a complement to direct renovation actions also behavior change with respect to energy is discussed and exemplified. The cost for energy actions in relation to other renovation aspects is discussed especially for the passive house case in Allingsås, Sweden. The passive house center calculate an extra cost for passive house standard to be 10 000 €/apartment while an external consultant has the figure 40 000 € of the total cost of 120 000 €. With this space heating can be 18 kWh/m2.year, or a reduction by 84 % with respect to space heating and 62% for overall heat and hot water demand. If you use the latter cost figure passive house standard is not motivated from an energy savings perspective while if using the lower figure it is very interesting. For the other less deep renovations we see that adding more insulation and three glass windows is motivated if the degradation has been strong, while a simpler renovation may be ok if the outer surface coating is not too bad. For these less deep renovations we see cost figures of 65 €/m2 respectively 28 €/m2 with reduction of heating and hot water demand of 56 % respectively 34 %.

States grab for on-line revenue, COAST opposes
Just like the liberals who "never waste a good crisis," conservatives, libertarians should move with the waves of the political ocean and the dynamism of the marketplace, accepting and seizing opportunities for advances when they arise.
One of those opportunities is the quirk of federal jurisprudence that allows avoidance of sales taxes on internet purchases. By not closing this "loophole," we slowly reduce the percentage of purchases subject to sales tax, and thus "starve the beast" a little more, year after year. And it requires of us ... to do nothing at all.
So, we oppose legislation making it easier for states to tax internet sales.
Today's Washington Post sees it differently. Read it here.

I hope this post is an April Fools Day joke. It doesn't present one coherent reason why some businesses should get away with paying no taxes, while all the businesses down the street have to pay the full tax. It's an unfair disadvantage against businesses with a physical presence.ReplyDelete
The coherent reason is that it is a simple, creative way to reduce the size of government in a politically palatable way.ReplyDelete
No vote, no action of any sort is required. The size of government just naturally shrinks over time, and conservative mission thus is accomplished. It's a beautiful thing.
- AnonymousJuly 16, 2012 at 1:56 PM
Using that rationale, COAST would support eliminating taxes entirely for everyone whose last names begin with A and M. After all, it "reduces revenue" and in theory reduces the size of government.ReplyDelete
I would hope for a more thoughtful approach than arbitrarily eliminating taxes for some while everyone else has to pay.
You just ignored the "politically palatable" part entirely, didn't you.ReplyDelete
- MickeyJuly 16, 2012 at 6:27 PM
Here's a novel idea. Instead of raising the taxes of online businesses to bring them into line with the taxes paid by other businesses, how about we lower the taxes of businesses with a physical presence to bring them more in line with online businesses. Why is the answer always a tax hike? COAST, you're right about this one.ReplyDelete

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thirteen advocates and professionals from around the country who serve as advisors to the federal office for juvenile justice met for two days last week in Washington, D.C., to share information on reforms and funding at the state and federal levels.
The Federal Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice, which normally meets online every few months, gathered face-to-face for the first time in a year. Its last online meeting occurred Aug. 10.
Some of the reforms the committee discussed lie within the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention itself. Melodee Hanes, the acting office administrator, told committee members on the opening day of the meeting that a structural reorganization of her office, which has been in the works for months, would be announced soon. The office is also close to releasing its program plan for next year, she said.
The associate administrator for budget and planning, Janet Chiancone, described to the committee a "mixed" outlook for federal funding for juvenile justice in the 2013 fiscal year. Federal money for programs administered by the federal juvenile justice office has steadily fallen from $461.5 million in fiscal year 2009 to $277 million in fiscal year 2012, a 41 percent decline, she said.
Although the 2013 fiscal year began Oct. 1, a gridlocked Congress has yet to reach a budget deal. The proposed House budget for 2013 further slashes funds for OJJDP programs to $214 million, while the Senate version increases funding from last year's level for the OJJDP to $299.5 million, she said. Both chambers are in recess until after the presidential election.
On Friday, committee members were briefed on changes in federal and state legislation on juvenile justice in recent years, trends that speakers said were driven by falling rates of juvenile crime, declining youth incarceration rates, the availability of better research and a shift away from treating children like adults under the law.
Friday's speakers included Nancy Gannon Hornberger, executive director of the Washington-D.C.-
based Coalition for Juvenile Justice – a network of citizens, advocates and professionals from every state who advise their local governments on juvenile justice issues and monitor their adherence to federal guidelines -- and Bart Lubow, director of the juvenile justice strategy group for the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a Baltimore-based nonprofit that has played a key role in funding reform initiatives around the country.
Sarah Brown, a senior researcher at the National Conference of State Legislatures, a bipartisan group of state legislators and their staff, described her recent report on trends in state legislation on juvenile justice in the last 10 years.
Speaking from Colorado via videoconference, Brown pointed to three separate rulings since 2005 by the U.S. Supreme Court that have adjusted federal standards for juvenile sentencing by abolishing the death penalty, life sentences without parole for non-homicides, and mandatory life sentences without parole for juveniles. These rulings reflect the impact of new research on adolescent development and highlight how many states are shifting toward treating juvenile offenders differently than adults, she said.
Between 2001 and 2011, 20 states passed laws to expand the jurisdiction of juvenile courts, such as by raising the age limit for juvenile offenses, she said. Other state trends include the passage of legislation improving young people's access to sound legal defense, reallocating funds from correctional facilities to community-based alternatives, and focusing on young people's mental health needs.
At least 10 states have passed laws to address racial disparities in the detention and incarceration of youth in the last 10 years, Brown said. And more than half of all states have passed laws aimed at supporting young people once they are released from detention or confinement.
Hornberger, who has lobbied Congress for system reform for 25 years, provided historical perspective on the trends affecting federal policy changes and provided recommendations for future legislation, including the long-overdue reauthorization of a sweeping federal bill on juvenile justice that was first passed by Congress in 1974.
"Generally, Congress has regarded juvenile justice and delinquency prevention to be a limited role," Hornberger said. However, the 1970s brought a significant shift in the way people thought about the detention and incarceration of youth, their treatment as status offenders, their placement in adult jails, and their separation from adult offenders by sight and sound, she said.
The resulting federal legislation, the sweeping Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, marked "a sea change" that forced states to meet federal standards on how to treat youth within the justice system, Hornberger said. Subsequent reauthorizations of the Act in the 1980s and 1990s added more requirements for states, including new rules asking states to explore racial disparities in their confinement of youth.
Last reauthorized 10 years ago, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act was due for reauthorization again in 2007 but has languished in Congress. Although a U.S. Senate committee has twice approved the reauthorization in recent years, the bills did not make it to the Senate floor. The House of Representatives has not acted on a reauthorization bill nor any legislation to do with juvenile justice in the last six years, Hornberger said.
Hornberger remains stoic. The 2002 reauthorization took six years to push through, she said. "It's always been a long haul to get this Act reauthorized."
In general, federal policy on juvenile justice has traditionally swung like a pendulum, with equilibrium rarely in the middle, she said. "Members of Congress are consistently going back and forth between punitive and rehabilitative approaches."
Policy swings are frequently affected by changes in leadership, whether in the White House, on congressional committees, or within the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention itself, she said.
Congressional legislation still demonstrates a trend toward criminalizing normal adolescent behavior, such as underage drinking or sexting, Hornberger said. And federal legislators are still wrestling with the choices of institutionalized care versus family and community-based solutions, she said.
"There have been trends in time where national policy has really spurred state reforms," like in the 1970s, Hornberger said. But these days, national policy is playing catch-up with reforms initiated by national foundations and some states, she added.
While federal trends in legislation and policy so far appear promising, the legislative progress is fragile, she warned -- especially in critical areas like the consideration of adolescent development and racial and ethnic disparities.
Speaking after Hornberger, Lubow gave a spirited presentation that made clear he too thought there was lots of room for improvement.
For every 100,000 young people in the United States, 336 are locked up, the highest rate in the developed world, he said. South Africa is in second place, at nearly one-fifth the rate of the United States. This could not be explained by disparities in juvenile crime, he said.
"We lock kids up in this country for a lot of minor stuff. In fact, we lock them up for things that we do not lock adults up for," Lubow said. "We do that, frankly, because adults are bullies. When we get frustrated with kids who do not follow our rules, we throw them into detention centers."
What would happen, he asked, if judges and law enforcement could not fall back upon incarcerating kids when they were angered and frustrated by their behavior? "What positions, what creativity, what alternatives would we come up with?" he asked.
Necessary innovations include limiting the types of young offenders who get incarcerated, increasing non-residential community alternatives to incarceration, and changing the financial incentives for local governments to keep their children within their own system and not the state's, Lubow said.
Sometimes reforms only happen after someone takes off a shoe and bangs it on the table, Lubow told the committee.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) Police closed Parnell Avenue between E. California Road (just north of Coliseum) and N. Clinton Street for around an hour on Monday after getting a call about a suspicious object.
According to an officer on the scene, a landscape crew at Applebee's found a suspicious object in a tree close to the restaurant. A team of hazardous technicians were called out to investigate.
"There were questions to the validity of the item, so we performed a couple actions to open it up and now we're in the middle of checking it out and seeing if any further investigation is needed or anything that we can get off of the device," said Jeff Foust, an Allen County bomb technician and detective on the scene.
There was a controlled explosion by officials.
"That's one of the tools that we use, it's just a water-charged, it's essentially a modified shotgun. It just opens up the package or the device," said Foust.
Officials said they don't know much about the package, and it could take up to six months before test results come back.
"Just a cylinder that's about roughly six inches long is the only thing we have right now. It was wrapped with tape. So, we have a little bit of speculation on our end, but that's exactly what it is is speculation. We'll take all that back, and then what we'll do is we'll have our lab look for any fingerprints or any type of remainder of whatever is left of the device, so it'll be shipped off and investigated further."" said Foust.
Foust said the Allen County bomb technician team usually receives between 100 to 120 calls a year.
"We usually have a request for between 100 and 120 calls. We cover eleven counties in Indiana, so we get pretty busy."
The road was re-opened just after 10:30 a.m. http://wane.com/news/crime/parnell-ave- ... ect-found/

Essays and Other Writings
Any essay or personal statement for an application must, of course, be your own work. If you are applying for a research degree, you will probably be asked to write a "statement of purpose." Admissions committees will be interested in how focused your research interests and ultimate career goals are, and how your undergraduate studies, work experience, and other background relate to the proposed graduate field of concentration.
If you are asked to write a "personal statement," in applying to law school for example, you have almost unlimited possibilities open to you. You might choose to write about some work you have done or someone you have known and relate that to what you plan to do over the next few years. Whether or not you write something autobiographical, remember that there is no set form and if you do write an autobiographical piece, it does not have to be arranged chronologically. Before writing anything, stop and consider what your readers might be looking for; the application or general directions may convey this.
Your essay will serve as an indicator of your writing abilities, but keep in mind that in most cases clarity and development of your ideas are the main considerations. If highly imaginative or eloquent writing does not come easily for you—and there are few people for whom it does—don't worry. Try to stick to a style you are comfortable with and don't try to sound like someone else. Your main aim will be to write a clear, succinct statement showing your self-determination and enthusiasm for the field of study.
How to Organize your Essay
There are two main approaches to organizing an essay. One is to make an outline of the points you want to cover and then to expand upon them. If you are comfortable with this method, it will probably yield a well-organized essay. The other approach is to put your ideas down on paper as they come to you and then to go over them, possibly eliminating a great many sentences and pushing others around ruthlessly until you have achieved a clear, logical sequence. This approach is difficult, but may produce a more inspired piece of writing than the outline method.
After you have gotten your first draft down on paper, go over it for style. One of the most common pitfalls applicants encounter is the habit of making "I" the subject and first word of nearly every sentence. Many people also use the simple declarative sentence almost exclusively, which tends to result in monotonous reading and often to obscure the development of ideas. For instance, cause and effect relationships are often lost in a series of simple sentences. Look carefully through what you have written for ideas or statements that have a cause and effect relationship.
Another weak point of many essays is the tendency to oversell through the use of adjectives and adverbs. If, when reading over your essay, you find yourself saying that certain experiences or ideas are "interesting," "educational," or "rewarding," or if you find the words "very" and "extremely" appearing frequently, you need to do some editing. Ask yourself not how interesting your summer job was, but what was interesting about it and what you learned from it. Rather than using vague adjectives, either be specific or simply let your experience and qualifications stand on their own merit.
You may want to have someone critique your essay before you submit your application. The Writing Workshop located in 174 Rockefeller Hall will be quite helpful in this regard since it employs highly skilled graduate students to help students with writing concerns. Also, you may want one of your recommenders, especially if he/she is in the discipline you are planning to pursue, to critique the content of your essay. Don't be surprised, though, if you get differing opinions; in the end, only you can decide on the best way to present yourself.

BOSTON (CBS) – Is your couch a hazard to your family?
A Duke University-led study released today raises red flags about a flame retardant used to treat polyurethane foam cushions.
"I think it's pretty hard for a consumer to tell," said Elizabeth Saunders with Clean Water Action Massachusetts, located in Downtown Boston.
Saunders heard the study was being conducted and submitted a corner of her own couch cushion.
"We found that there were in fact toxic flame retardants of the variety Chlorinated Tris in that couch," she said. "It was a couch that was purchased in 2009 or 2010 so that is the flame retardant that we're seeing in most couches."
Researchers list Chlorinated Tris as a possible carcinogen based on animal studies. It was banned, Saunders said, in children's pajamas in 1977 because of health concerns then.
But it reemerged as a flame retardant in foam furniture cushions in 2005 when another chemical, PentaBDE, was deemed too dangerous. A California law aimed at making furniture less flammable, most believe, led to its widespread use.
This study looked at 102 sofas made between 1998 and 2010, and showed more than half contained potentially toxic or untested chemicals. 41% of the couch foam tested contained Chlorinated Tris.
"When you look at the couches after 2005 then you see more of the Chlorinated Tris," Saunders said pointing to a graph from the study.
For her, the research proves there needs to be more government regulation.
"We have been working to support the "Safer Alternatives Bill" which would address multiple chemical exposures and would look to replace toxic chemicals with safer alternatives where that is feasible and require companies to do that when there is a safer alternative available," she explained.
But if you ask Anne Kolton, with The American Chemistry Council, the exposure from furniture should not be a concern.
"First the public should know that TDCPP is in upholstered furniture and other products in their home because it slows the spread of fire, and in fire every second counts," Kolton said.
"Second, they should know that TDCPP and other flame retardants have been reviewed by regulators and found to be safe at the levels people are typically exposed to them."
That explanation doesn't make Elizabeth Saunders feel any better. "I'm concerned about the cumulative exposure," she said.

FX News
European Outlook: Asian stock markets mostly headed south, after losses on Wall Street and in Europe yesterday. MSCI finally decided to include 222 large Chinese companies in its 2018 Emerging Markets Index, and the CSI is outperforming with a 0.28% gain, while the Hang Seng is down -0.38% and the Nikkei -0.32%, with the latter weighed down by a stronger Yen. The ASX underperformed and lost more than 1% as oil prices remain under pressure. The DAX rallied to new record highs yesterday, before profit taking and a broad mover lower in global equity markets as commodity supply concerns amid rising oil production in Libya and Nigeria cast fresh doubt on the efficacy of the OPEC oil agreement while a 26% drop in Chinese steel exports added to concerns about the global growth outlook. U.K. and U.S. stock futures are also down and the fresh bout of risk aversion will keep a lid on bond yields. For the Eurozone, the good news though is that peripheral yield spreads over the German benchmark didn't blow out yesterday. Today's data calendar remains quiet, with only U.K. public finance data and a German 30-year Bund sale.
London clearing remains bone of contention. After the EU proposal that called for greater EU oversight of clearing houses based in foreign jurisdictions and included the option of enforced relocation, BoE's Carney yesterday suggested improved cross-border oversight of clearinghouses that should be based on "deep cooperation" between jurisdictions, adding that a clearing deal would help to keep the financial system resilient. ECB's Coeure meanwhile stressed that the EU's clearing regime was "never designed to cope" with major clearing houses operating outside of the EU, adding that moving clearing to within the EU's jurisdiction would be justified if they pose a major risk to stability, as so far, the regime provides "EU authorities with very limited tools for obtaining information and taking action in the event of a crisis". The ECB has long tried to get London clearing under its own control and while London fought back with backing from a European court, the issue is back on top of the agenda as Brexit draws nearer.
Fedspeak: Yesterday Fed's Rosengren said low rates pose financial stability issues, in his comments at the Riksbank macroprudential conference. The Boston Fed president (not a voter this year) turned decidedly hawkish about a year ago and has maintained that outlook ever since. He believes low rates put intermediaries and economies at risk, make fighting future recessions more difficult, and make it more likely central banks will have to resort to non-traditional policies. Additionally, Fed Evans was speaking yesterday as well. Chicago Fed dove Evans said inflation needs to rise and the target should not been seen as a cap but a symmetric target, though he's voted for rate hikes given improvement in the economy. He's still ambivalent about the timing of the next hike, which could take place later in the year, while the global environment appears to be holding back inflation, which could allow for a shallower path of rate increases. Otherwise the economy bounced back after the election, with "quite good" fundamentals, which give inflation a chance to get back to 2%. He sees 3% growth as achievable in the short-term, but sustaining it given labor and productivity constraints is another thing, while the U.S. is fast approaching its natural rate of unemployment.
Canada: growth maintains momentum but uncertainties lurk, suggesting that while the time frame for rate hikes has been moved ahead, the Bank can maintain the current setting through mid-year at least. Of course, the upbeat ("hawkish") view of the economy last week moved ahead expectations for lift-off, and even put the announcement next month in play. And the economic data since Wilkins/Poloz have supported the Bank's view that the run of encouraging broad-based growth will prove sustainable. But other events have highlighted the uncertainties around Canada's outlook. Most prominently, the plunge in WTI crude oil to a seven month low and the evolution of U.S. trade policy. The key line from Wilkins was that they are "assessing whether all of the considerable monetary stimulus presently in place is still required." An assessment of the mix of firm economic data but weak oil/commodity and uncertain U.S. trade policy will likely keep them grounded until later this year, if not January of next year. There will be another round of BoC-speak next week (Poloz panel, Patterson speech), which will be looked to for fresh guidance on the policy outlook.
