Earlier in the week I had dropped a quick spreadsheet of some people in my family (or for whom I had performed a RAOGK). It also was accompanied by a map of the Mt Olivet Cemetery (shown to the left).
Mt Olivet is part of the Mt Elliott Cemetery Association which is made up of the following cemeteries:
Mt Elliott, Mt Olivet, Resurrection, All Saints, Guardian Angel and The Preserve cemeteries. They also have an online database that you can search for your ancestor here: http://mtelliott.com/genealogy .
The map seems to indicate that there are about 75-85 sections to the cemetery (Most are numbered, but the annex sections have Letters). I have section maps for Sections: 15, 24, 52 and L. These section maps have family names (probably of the original deed-holder family) written in the boxes.
I would like to collect the entire set of section map pictures. So my plea to you, my readers is do you have a scanned map of any of the sections of Mt Olivet (Detroit) cemetery?
If you have any or all of these Section Maps, then can you email these images (preferably in JPG/JPEG), but I will take any format you have. The image needs to be clear enough to read the names in the boxes. Let me show you an example (a portion) of what I am looking for:
Ok readability is highly variable. Obviously they can write smaller than can be read. But what I am trying to do is read…
"Pitlock", Plot 1223, "Chojnaski", Plot 1222, etc.
These are sometimes called Plot Maps. The one here is a snippet from Section 15.
The three most desired Section Maps are: Section 54 (where my father's infant brother, Henry is buried) & Section 57 (where my grandfather Joseph is buried) and Section G where my aunt Sally and her son/my cousin Stephen is buried .
Thanks Internet!

The dumbest thing Bob Elliot has written (this week)
We'll hear people wax rhapsodic about him and his skills, and how he's sure to eventually win the Spink Award and gain entrance into the Hall of Fame, and we were left at a loss. We heard people talk about what a fantastic read his A Northern Game was, but we struggled to make it much more than halfway through, literally falling asleep almost every time that we endeavoured to dust off a chapter.
(Really, after one or two chapters, a book emphasizing just how goshdarned friggin' Canadian these Canadian baseballers are loses it's appeal for those of us who don't particularly care about the provenance of our favourite athletes.)
We'll confess that there may be a chance that he is a better reporter than writer (not a bad thing at all), although we often wonder about his comic overuse of the "Anonymous NL Scout". (This is especially the case since this unknown baseball birddog seemed to be trotted out whenever Elliot needed a blunt object with which to bludgeon the former administration.)
Whatever the reason that we don't seem to get Elliot's work, we generally don't see him come up with anything particularly awful either, so maybe his worst crime is that he is bland. Hard to believe, we know, considering the electrically vibrant personality that he puts forth on his appearances on Prime Time Sports.
But in Sunday's Sun, Elliot offered up an absolute howler on the significance of Roy Halladay's departure. And if you'll permit us our moment with the Fire Joe Morgan meme, we'd like to share this bit of work with you.
Plenty of calls, e-mails and texts received in busy week.
Nice to know you're keeping busy. What with the biggest trade of the decade for the Jays going down this week. Hopefully, all that contact with your fellow humans didn't cost you too many naps.
One friend's message was short: "Andrea Bocelli is gone. So am I."
Andrea Bocelli is dead? And you're friend is going to commit suicide out of grief?
My friend is not a ball fan.
Nor is he a music fan. But go on...
He appreciates excellence. Over the years he has paid to hear Colin Powell speak, although he disagrees with his politics; watched Mikhail Baryshnikov while disliking ballet, heard Bocelli sing, although he does not like opera and watched Roy Halladay pitch.
Okay, I see where you're going with this. You're trying to say that your friend appreciates only the finest things in life, and Roy Halladay is one of those fine things. And this is supposed to mean something profound to me, although all I can think when I read this is "Andrea Bocelli was not so much a singer as a hoary hollering novelty act, and he really sucked, and now he's dead. So maybe I should show some respect."
(Wait! Hold the phone! A quick Google search tells me that Bocelli is alive. So Elliot's friend is clearly full of shit. If only he'd realized it before he went and hung himself in the shower.)
He would only go to the Rogers Centre to see Halladay face the New York Yankees or the Boston Red Sox.
Okay, let's stop the charade right here. Elliot is trying to use this expression of disinterest in the Blue Jays as bad omen, and an example of how people are going to abandon this team because of the loss of one key player.
Except that the truth is that Elliot's friend is not some sort of connoisseur, but rather, he is a dilettante, a tourist and an interloper who is only interested in his own self-aggrandizement through his broad demonstrations of his aestheticism. And if that fey bastard doesn't want to come watch the Jays next year, then that's just fine by me.

I love the Bocelli carving. Elliott is guilty of that BS all the time - that is, saying "Bocelli is dead" and expecting us to know what the fuck he is talking about.
- December 21, 2009 at 2:35 PM
I am convinced that Bob Elliot only has a job because he came with the furniture when the Toronto Sun moved into their current building.

- Darren Priest said...
I have no idea who Bob Elliott's friend is (of course), but I love the way you skewered him. It felt good. Real good!
If the only two opera singers you can name are Bocelli and Sara Brightman, you might not want to blow your horn too hard at your next wine and cheese.
Oh, and feel free to keep using the FJM meme. It scratches me right where I itch and those guys ain't coming back.
- December 21, 2009 at 3:09 PM
Tao, you forgot that Elliot is also guilty of pure factual error:
"The Jays had scouts Roy Smith and Gary Rajsich in Houston to watch Cuban left-hander Aroldis Chapman this week. Chapman defected when the world juniors were in Edmonton in 2008."
It was actually in July 2009 in Rotterdam, but close enough Bob. It's easy to forget the 2009 WBC.

Bob also went on bitching about how the Jays don't draft Canadians on PTS a couple of weeks back. And then grunted something about "Or they draft them but don't sign them."
And I yelled at my iPod "What do you call Trystan Magnusson, motherfucker?"
But moreover, who cares? This whole thing about how Canadian stars are going to bring out fans is such horseshit.

Honestly, Jason Bay and Justin Morneau grew up farther away from Toronto than somebody who was born in fucking Florida. Yeah, they sang the same national anthem as I did at school every morning, but who gives a shit?

You are totally getting blocked from Bobby's twitter feed now.

I don't want them to sign Canadians. Those guys suck. Sign more Venezuelans, please!
- December 21, 2009 at 4:02 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
You know, I'd be a little disappointed if he didn't block me.
- December 21, 2009 at 4:10 PM
Roy fucking Halladay was born in Arvada, Colorado Bob, yet 1) He is the most beloved Blue Jay ever and 2) The attendance for the last ever game of the most beloved Blue Jay ever was around 11,000.
I don't give a shit where the players are from, as long as they have the ability to play the game of baseball. It's not like getting a bunch of Canadians is going to be some sort of magical elixir for what ails the Jays. That elixir is winning and the way to do that is to build the system back up with Americans, Latin Americans, Canadians, Asians, hell even Europeans and Aussies if they're worthy. Christ, How do Griffin, Perkins (he just took a severance package: 1 down 2 to go), and this bozo still have jobs? Ugh.
- December 21, 2009 at 4:11 PM

The attendance of Roy Halladay's final appearance in a Jays Uniform at the Rogers Centre was 20,668.

Thankfully AA isn't catering to fucking retards like Elliot.
"According to two people familiar with the process, one of the Amaro-led brainstorming sessions produced an idea that might have allowed him to keep Drabek: Maybe the Phils could flip Aumont and Gillies to Toronto, because both were Canadian. In addition to their status as strong prospects, the two players could provide a public-relations boost to the Blue Jays on the day they lost their best player.
Anthopoulos, though, valued baseball skills over nationality. And while he liked the Seattle players, he preferred Drabek. "If a player is talented and happens to be Canadian, that's a bonus for us," he said. "But would we ever acquire someone because he is Canadian? No.""

Ari, that comment made my day. Thank you.
And Tao, this was brilliant.
- December 21, 2009 at 4:56 PM
- bkblades said...
I guess it was wrong of me to assume that a grey moustache meant automatic connoisseur status and cultural education. You tricked me, Bob.
Well done evoking fond memories of FJF, Tao.
- December 21, 2009 at 5:10 PM
- Ian Hunter said...
The next time someone suggests that the Blue Jays have leeway with a free agent because they are Canadian, I'm going to lose it.
This isn't supposed to be a team of Canadian cheerleaders, it's supposed to be a team of winners.
So suck it Elliot, Griffin, et all ...
- December 21, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Elliot, Griffin, McCowen, the late Marsden and Hunt are all like the uncles we all have had
They have their opinions, they are usually old-school, off-base and patently wrong but we have been listening to these opinions as long as we can remember. They aren't changing their views, nor will they acknowledge or accept the contemporary leneses in which we view today's game
Enjoy these guys for what they are and while they are still around.
The torch will be passed as it always does.
We are seeing the new wave; Blair, Freidman, Schulman, Brunt, KLaw, Kenny Ken Ken and just as important the blogosphere...yes Tao, The Ack and DJF, Mop Up Duty, Dug Out Central, you are all part of the next wave of baseball opinion and analysis. Keep it up...but...respect those who came before you.
Peace and Merry Christmas
- December 21, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Sorry you too, Hunter. No disrespecting
- December 21, 2009 at 5:26 PM
My mistake Peter D. I had his second last start at the cable box in my head. That night 11,159 watched Doc go the distance (yawn) in a 4-1 loss against the Twins to Carl fucking Pavano. Ugh.
- December 21, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Ari, thanks for the reference to that article. Awesome. Not only is AA not catering to fucking retards like Elliott, Griffin etc, he's also not catering to the "fans" who like to parrot Elliott's good friend Donald S. Cherry and talk about getting some "good ole Canadian boys". Fucking retard hockey fans fawning over a team that hasn't done a God damn thing in decades, but unless the Blue Jays are in 1st place they "suck". Fuck off and fuck hockey. I used to love hockey, but thanks to sports highlight shows that are 97.5% hockey regardless of the time of year, I have come to loathe it.
- December 21, 2009 at 5:54 PM
The writing does suck, but he was the first to say that Phillipe Aumont was NOT going to the Jays, and that we were getting Drabek, so obviously he does have some sources...
- December 21, 2009 at 5:59 PM
- Callum said...
The dude will never let the draft pick signing issue of last year die, and loves to bring it up as a jab to Anthopoulos like he was running the show. Get over it, crotchety old curmudgeon.
- December 21, 2009 at 6:14 PM
Look, Bob Elliot is not very handsome at all. I ignore schlemiels like him, and so does Alex. we are focussed on one thing: a highly successful franchise (the possibility of which rests on winning, of course).
Trust me, these hacks will change their respective tunes when the appetite of the "average fan" jumps back on the bandwagon of taste I am creating.
And by the way, I enjoy Bocelli, but only through my 14-year-old daughter's closed bedroom door.
Sincerely yours,
Handsome Tony

we need to bring back the glory days when the dome was the dome and fans came out in droves to watch canuck paul quantrill work his magic outta the bullpen. those fans were there for him, nothing to do with the then recent WS victories.....
by the way i enjoy con te patiro (Bocelli), its beautiful music not "howling" c'mon
- December 21, 2009 at 10:01 PM

So this is going to sound a little odd...
Does anyone know where I could get an Expos mini-bat? Like the kind you buy at the stadium? When I was doing my crazy baseball road trip, these bats were my souvenirs. I just found my stash where I had packed them all away, got all excited to display them in the basement, then realized I'm missing the Expos and the Indians. Running up to Cleveland to get another isn't an issue, but I heard that getting an Expos ticket has become pretty difficult these days.
Anybody have any suggestions? There's a cheap looking one on Ebay that the guy wants like $20 for, but for that much, I'd want one with some color (colour if you will.)
Any help would be appreciated.
- December 22, 2009 at 9:15 AM
fey bastard...bravo. I only know of one other person who has used the word "fey" in the last 100 years and he (me) is a genius. You're in good company.

Seventh Vision: Four Chariots.a 1Again I raised my eyes and saw four chariots* coming out from between two mountains; and the mountains were of bronze. 2The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses, 3the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong horses. 4I asked the angel who spoke with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the heavens,* which are coming forth after presenting themselves before the LORD of all the earth.b 6The one with the black horses is going toward the land of the north, and the white horses go toward the west, and the dappled ones go toward the land of the south." 7These strong horses went out, eager to set about patrolling the earth, for he said, "Go, patrol the earth!" So they patrolled the earth. 8Then he cried out to me and said, "See, those who go forth to the land of the north provide rest for my spirit in the land of the north."*
The Crowning. 9Then the word of the LORD came to me: 10Take from the exiles—Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah—and go the same day to the house of Josiah, son of Zephaniah. (These had come from Babylon.) 11You will take silver and gold, and make crowns;* place one on the head of Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12And say to him: Thus says the LORD of hosts: There is a man whose name is Branch* c—and from his place he will branch out and he will build the temple of the LORD. 13He will build the temple of the LORD, and taking up the royal insignia, he will sit as ruler upon his throne. The priest will be at his right hand, and between the two of them there will be peaceful understanding.* d 14The other crown will be in the temple of the LORD as a gracious reminder to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and the son of Zephaniah. 15And they who are from afar will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. This will happen if you truly obey the LORD your God.e
* [6:1] Four chariots: vehicles with horses of four different colors (vv. 2–3) represent God's presence throughout the world and correspond to the four horses of 1:7–11.
* [6:5] Four winds of the heavens: four compass directions and therefore the whole world.
* [6:8] Land of the north: the enemy (cf. 2:10). This emphasis on the land of the north refers to the fact that God will deal with Israel's foes and order will be re-established.
* [6:11] Crowns: two crowns made of precious metals and representing two high offices (compare the symbolism of the two olive trees in 4:14). One crown is for the high priest Joshua, who, with the governor Zerubbabel, was one of the recognized rulers of the Persian province of Judah. The other crown would have been for a royal ruler, a Davidic descendant. Zerubbabel was a Davidide but could not be king because the Persians would not allow such autonomy. The second crown was thus put in storage in the Temple (v. 14) for the crowning of a future king, or "branch" (see 3:8), from the house of David.
* [6:12] Branch: future Davidic ruler. See note on 3:8.
* [6:13] Peaceful understanding: harmonious rule of both the high priest and the king.

The intricate patterns and beautiful colours of woven oriental rugs have mesmerized Suzanne Spahi since the childhood moment when, watching TV, she saw two kids swooping over a city on a flying carpet.
"The colour of these rugs fascinated me and I told myself when I got older I would want a mosaic of rugs in my home," she says.
Now she has just that, and more. A mosaic artist/teacher and owner of Mosaïkashop, a school, gallery and boutique, she has covered the floor of her loft in Little Italy with the many rugs she purchased when living in Dubai.
"I bought kilim rugs, very simple Bedouin-style rugs. I really like the reds and the blues and the touches of fuchsia and pink."
Rugs also appear on the walls of the loft in the form of mosaics that Spahi has created, including a reproduction of an antique kilim rug that appears in a tapestry, and an intricate mosaic of a Kazhak rug - the first rug she did in mosaic that was selected last year for an international mosaic festival in Ravenna. "It took nine months to make that mosaic," she said.
She has made her home in the loft space for four years, and it has lived up to its publicized goal of being a place for artists, Spahi says.
There's a recording studio, a design company and advertising agency here, as well as studio homes for artists and musicians.
She and partner Vittorio Dilallo, also a mosaic artist, both work on their projects in a corner of the loft set aside for that purpose: two long mosaic tables with shelves below for their material, placed in an L-shape underneath the six-foot tall windows.
That L-shape is reproduced across the room in the living space, with a low sofa in dark blue backed with cushions covered with material cut from a rug she brought from the Middle East. "I like the reds, pinks and beiges," Spahi says.
"And in front of them I've placed a collection of smaller Persian cushions and some Egyptian hand-embroidered pillows."
She a rice table from India as a coffee table, the space inside for sorting rice filled with dried flowers that exude a lovely scent, and topped with a Turkish copper tray and lots of books. " I like to have my books for inspiration," Spahi says.
"And I have quite a rich collection of books on rugs."
The large collection of artwork that covers the walls - leaving room to hang more up to the 12-foot-high ceilings - was assembled gradually, Spahi says. "I add to it, then sometimes my mother or friends will give me advice to rearrange it." She has created a composition of family photographs in black and white, framed in gold and wood, a stained-glass mirror from Egypt, two oil paintings of boats done by her mother at age 16 and a striking portrait of Spahi done by wellknown Montreal artist Alexandra Pennycook.
Rug portraits in water colour and mosaic are placed closer to eye level on the cream-coloured wall, along with various whimsical ensembles - a mosaic pear, an embroidered camel rug next to a mosaic of a camel, a mosaic reproduction of an old Coptic fabric, another of a bird from a painting by Freda Kahlo and her beautiful Kazhak rug.
In her work and teaching, Spahi uses smalti, a thick opaque coloured glass mosaic in the Byzantine style and millefiori, glass rods cut into little rounds like beans with a motif on the inside, and even her leftovers are used in art pieces.
"On occasion, just to relax, I do these mosaic flowers using pieces from a tin box containing leftovers," she says. "I assemble them in colour groups, because I'm always trying to practice my knowledge of the gradations of colours, then put magnets on the back."
Even the refrigerator door in her functional kitchen space - with its stainless steel appliances, stained cupboards and stone countertops - might be used as a backdrop for an arrangement of small floral pieces created from Spahi's mosaic leftovers.
Born in Quebec, of Syrian, Turkish, Tunisian and Egyptian ancestry, Spahi has travelled extensively and collected objects, historical knowledge and inspiration.
As she and Dilallo work on their mosaic projects in the early mornings or evenings, their work space is separated from the dining area - with its wrought-iron, mosaic-topped table - by a slender storage cabinet and above it a wall mounting of colourful plates from all the cities she has visited around the world.

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island Small Business Development Center at Johnson & Wales University was awarded an $80,000 grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration to help the center offer continued assistance to small businesses affected by natural disasters.
The grant, announced Tuesday, will allow RISBDC to continue offering assistance to the Ocean State's small business struggling to recover from the 2010 floods and last year's Tropical Storm Irene.
"This additional funding for disaster assistance by the RISBDC is critically important," said Mark S. Hayward, director of the SBA Rhode Island District Office. "The technical assistance available to small businesses impacted by the natural disasters will play a vital role in their economic recovery."
With the funding, RISBDC will be able to deliver assistance to a greater number of businesses applying for economic injury relief through the SBA's low-interest disaster loan program.
"These grant funds will allow the RISBDC to further extend its targeted no-cost technical assistance resources and educational workshops to impacted businesses," Adriana I. Dawson, interim state director of the R.I. Small Business Development Center, said in prepared remarks.
The filing deadline for the economic injury loans related to the Secretary of Agriculture's declaration for Tropical Storm Irene is May 22. The deadline for the SBA disaster declaration for Tropical Storm Irene economic injury loan is June 26. Applications require a business plan and full financials.

We were Warned
Send a link to a friend
than a month ago, Hurricane Sandy swept across the
northeast coast of the U.S., claiming dozens of
lives and leaving millions without power. Before it
hit the U.S., at least 71 people were killed in the
Caribbean. Before the storm hit, residents were
repeatedly warned to get out of Sandy's path.
The Governor of Connecticut told people, "Get out
before you can't." New Jersey governor Chris
Christie said it was "stupid and selfish" to ignore
the warnings of coming danger. But despite all the
dire warnings and predictions before the storm hit,
many residents in the center of the storm's path
refused to heed the warnings. Some just shrugged off
the warnings, jogging, walking their dogs, visiting
their usual coffee and bagel delis. When the storm
hit, people realized they should have listened, but
it was too late. The storm already had them within
its grip.
In Brooklyn, a young couple was reportedly hit by a
tree while walking their dog. Walking their dog mind
you! Governor Christie immediately called for a
search and rescue to find lost people—the very
people who should have heeded the warnings in the
first place. According to a New York Times article,
scientists had been warning government officials for
years about the impending danger of massive storms.
Sometimes you just have to wonder how many warnings
we need before we wake up and take action.
God has also issued a few warnings. Jesus will come
again…be ready! Everyone faces death…be prepared!
There will be a judgment and an assignment to either
heaven or hell…here's your warning.
However, millions also ignore God's words of caution
regarding the end times and go on with hardly an
afterthought as to the storm bearing down on them.
The bible calls that person a fool.
Jesus often spoke of the importance of being ready. He not only
clearly believed in the end of time, he also did all he could to
convey the importance of every person to prepare themselves for it.
Within several of his parables, he identifies the difference between
being a winner or a loser when it came to death, judgment, and the
second coming. Then he warned us to make sure we weren't found to be
During the month of January we will take a closer look at those "end
times" parables and how we can keep from making the same mistakes.

(The High Priestess) : Thursday 29 May 2014 »
Today is a day to trust your instincts or your intuition. Waiting and contemplation is called for, not action.
Certainly don't force or rush any decisions, and if your instincts tell you that you need more information before proceeding, then seek it out before taking any further action.

Lemons are pretty versatile. Despite the fact that they are tart they go really well in sweet dishes. Lemons can also be used in savoury dishes though I have not had all that many. When I came across the concept of an Asian style lemon chicken dish I had to try it. Most of the recipes that I found for lemon chicken called for coating the chicken in corn starch or flour and frying it in oil. Since the chicken would then be placed in a lemon sauce and become soggy I was not too sure why it was deep fried in the first place. I decided to come up with a way of making lemon chicken without frying the chicken. In the end I decided to marinate the chicken in a lemon marinade and then saute the chicken and reduce the the marinade into a sauce. Although the dish did not turn out to be too photogenic the lemon chicken was really tasty. It had a really nice lemon flavour and it was tart but not too tart. The cilantro and green onion along with the lemon flavour made the dish taste really fresh. I think that the next time I make this I will add more chili heat to it. I will also have to try making the version with the breaded and fried chicken to compare.
Lemon Chicken
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 2 tablespoons chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 small chili (chopped, or 1 teaspoon chili sauce)
- 1 pound chicken (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- 1 handful cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
- Mix the lemon zest, juice, chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, honey, and chili in a bowl. Do a taste test here to balance out the tartness, saltiness, sweetness and heat.
- Place the chicken into mixture and marinate for 10-20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Add the ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the chicken reserving the marinade.
- Saute the chicken until cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the reserved marinade and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds and remove from the heat.
- Serve on rice or noodles.

Ah ... the Islands.
The Magdalen Islands, that is.
In the past, the building was used as a pottery craftsman's workshop and later on exploited as a studio and art gallery for local artists.
The present full-time resident recently added an extension as a front entry. To inspire a maritime feel, she painted it an audacious blue, refreshed the white siding and coloured the metal roof silver.
She eventually would like to add shutters and flower boxes. I have a different opinion in regards to the final concept. I strongly believe that the end result should reflect her eccentric and free spirited personality.
The house with its existing industrial materials and its artistic background would lend itself more appropriately to a contemporary, bold and creative statement. This can be achieved by adding geometric architectural details: For instance, twin wooden triangular structures at the top centre cornice and over the front of the new veranda area.
Parallel lines are encouraged to reflect the nautical ambience. On the left side of the deck, a divider wall made of horizontal planks of wood protects from the wind while cocooning the dweller.
From one side of the house to the other, long and narrow grey wooden flooring mimics a dock. A whitewash stain in a grey tint will give it the appearance of driftwood.
The pathway to the back with repeated elongated cement slabs placed over smooth pebbles as well as the lines of the new deep red door, the stripe effect of the white wood blinds inside the windows and the red and white printed cushion respect the desired nautical theme without overstating it.
For a final touch, a big scale silver lantern type fixture looks like a beautiful pendant earring.
The intense wind is omnipresent in the islands. Consequently, plant growth is inhibited, slow, low and sparse. The roots are easily disturbed, therefore damaging the stems. Needled conifers are well equipped to face the harsh conditions and ornamental grasses have proven their efficiency by preventing soil erosion.
For the landscaping, I suggest a semicircle bed of sand in which a few medium-sized Pennisetums can be randomly placed. A wall of tall Miscanthus Sinensis would also perform a spectacular dance as it tries to hold the wind. Three more can be placed on the right side to decorate the path to the back.
Either a silver birch or an aspen could stand on guard for a last attempt to restrain the forces of nature. The aggressive roots of the silver birch wouldn't be a problem in this case since there is no basement.
Near the front entry and as a focal point, a miniature island can be created with a big rock, shrubs and a perennial. For low maintenance, an indigenous low ground cover of your choice available in the area can be transplanted to replace the tired lawn.
With these improvements, this building will appear like a more modern home and ... who knows, maybe the white Adirondack armchair will find a match soon.
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Betula (silver birch tree)
- Miscanthus Sinensis Mor-ning light (5+3 tall ornamental grasses, perennials)
- Pennisetum Alupecuroid-es (5 to 7 medium-sized ornamental grasses)
- Pinus Mugo Mughus (con-ifer shrub)
- Perovskia Atriplicifolia (perennials) or Lupinus X Hybridus (existing perennials)
- Potentilla Fructicosa (three shrubs)
- Salix Integra (shrub on stem)
Most homes can use a little help when it comes to warming up their curb appeal.

Stanczyk has now written twice before on these doomsday sayers. This jester's past two articles:
Doomsday is Regrettably Delayed
Now we find failed prophet, Harold Camping (89 years old), predicting that Judgment Day is this Saturday (5/21/2011). They are even barnstorming across America trying to warn people and even buying billboards where possible. Now, I say failed prophet because, Harold Camping, once before predicted Sept. 6, 1994 as Judgment Day. The bible does tell us that any prophet from G-d would be correct in his/her prophecies and that failed prophecies are a sign of charlatans. Surely, they already know that the New Testament says in Matthew 24:36-44:
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, …"
So here are some of the failed predictions (or pending failures?):
- 1-September-1994 [Harold Camping, FAILED]
- 21-May-2011 [Harold Camping, FAILED, 2nd FAILURE!]
- 1806 – [Hoax of Prophet Hen of Leeds, FAILED]
- 22-October-1844 [William MIller, FAILED]
- 1891 or before [Mormon Armageddon predicted by Joseph Smith in 1835, FAILED]
- 1910 [Media frenzy about Halley's Comet return bringing cyanide poisoning, FAILED]
- 1982 [Pat Roberston 700 Club prediction, FAILED]
- 1997 Halle-Bop Comet return [Heavens Gate Cult, FAILED]
- 1999 August, [Nostradamus prediction, FAILED]
- 2008 Fall [Ronald Weinland prediction, including the fall of USA as a nation, FAILED]
- 10-October-2010 (i.e. 10/10/10) [FAILED]
- 21-December-2012 [Mayan Calendar runs outs ???, pending, probable failure as the mathematics are wrong]
So for those planning Rapture parties on 5/21/2011, you should move that up one day to make the sure the party happens and people can attend. Atheists and Agnostics can go ahead with their parties on Saturday. If the predicted calamity does not happen on Saturday, then perhaps, twice failed Harold Camping will be ignored by the Media (and indeed EVERYONE).
Here is a great page of failed doomsday prophecies from 30CE-present. It has more than I listed above. Please read this page which includes references to some materials for the reader to go deeper.
One interesting note on the Halley's Comet prediciton. Why did nobody believe it happened previously since it happens about every 75 years? Indeed the famous Samuel Clemmons/Mark Twain was born during the 1835 arrival of Halleys and then proceeded to die as he prophesied on the 1910 return of Halleys.
Stanczyk promises to update this post, if he is not Raptured on Saturday, to reflect the second FAILURE of H. Camping. Have a Great Weekend everybody!
Well it was not doosmday. We are still here; even the cultists who promoted the latest doomsday fraud. Stanczyk's heart goes out to the people who gave up their worldly possessions by believing this fraud. In California, one individual was going to euthanize his pets, before the local Humane Society intervened. Can you imagine if someone did this to their children or their elderly/invalided parents? I pray such a thing did not happen and never happens. I believe there is cuplability here and I hope people sue Harold Camping for inciting this madness upon a large number of gullible people.
May God Bless those who are in need: Haiti, Japan, USA-Tornado victims, USA-Mississippi flood victims. As one of my beloved wife's friends said, now that the Rapture has not arrived, take this time do a good deed.

BEIJING � Companies from IBM to Starbucks are struggling with new obstacles in China as Communist Party officials tussle over the direction and depth of economic reforms.
China's state-controlled media last week accused Starbucks with charging too much for coffee and said Samsung Electronics' smartphones don't work properly. IBM's China revenue slipped 22 percent in the third quarter, contributing to the first-ever sales decline in the company's growth-markets division, as state-owned companies started delaying orders, including mainframes and servers.
"The operating environment for foreign firms has deteriorated in the last year in a serious way," said Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group in Shanghai. "In my 16 years in China, it's some of the worst business sentiment among foreign executives. They don't feel as welcome as they used to."
When the U.S.-China Business Council, a Washington-based trade group, surveyed U.S. executives this month, the chief complaints included rising costs and bureaucratic red tape. Almost 70 percent of the more than 100 U.S. firms polled said profit margin would be flat or narrow this year. Only 39 percent are optimistic about the next five years in China; 58 percent felt that way in 2011.
Since opening its economy to foreign investment in the 1970s, China has been a growth engine that has generated billions of dollars in revenue for multinationals. While foreign firms struggled in the early years, the business environment improved after the nation joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. More recently, rising labor costs have prompted some companies to put their factories elsewhere. Now, with economic growth slowing, policymakers are struggling to pull off a long- awaited transition from export-fueled growth to an economy driven by domestic consumption.
China has pared economic growth projections to an average of 7 percent this decade, compared with 10.5 percent in the previous 10 years. Even maintaining that slower pace will be challenging. Leaders are battling a property bubble, while a five-year credit expansion has put the economy's debt burden in the same vicinity that preceded crises or sharp slowdowns in Japan and other Asian nations. Wages, adjusted for inflation, have tripled in the past decade.
"The current economic model is running out of gas," said James McGregor, Greater China chairman of consulting firm APCO Worldwide Inc. "If they don't reform they can't keep growing."
Slowing growth caught up with Coca-Cola in the first half of this year, as retail sales slowed the most in 10 years, the company said in July. Low-priced water accounted for most of the beverage industry's growth as consumers cut back on pricier juices and sodas.
Stronger domestic competition and more discerning shoppers have hurt sales at Nike and Yum Brands. McDonald's same-store sales fell 3.2 percent in the third quarter, the fourth decline in a row.
Chinese consumers are "very cautious" and typically revert to local chains in difficult economic times, Chief Executive Officer Don Thompson said on a call with analysts.
Chinese filmmakers are also capturing most of the country's growth, with rules that favor local productions. The U.S. share of film receipts in China shrunk to 42 percent this year from 58 percent a year ago, according to Rentrak, a research firm.
U.S. companies haven't lost their appetite for the world's second-largest economy. China is a $300 billion market for U.S. firms that will get even larger as the middle class doubles to 600 million in the next decade, according to the U.S.-China Business Council, which counts Wal-Mart Stores and Apple its more than 200 members.
General Electric boosted sales 13 percent there in its most recent quarter owing to a surge in orders for health-care devices. Even as Coach's U.S. business sags, the handbag maker's sales surged more than 35 percent in China. General Motors and Volkswagen each plan to sell a record 3 million vehicles in China this year.
Domestic politics are driving much of the uncertainty in the executive suite. The recent broadsides against foreign companies may have less to do with protectionism than with assuaging public concerns about prices, analysts say. While salaries are rising in China, prices for housing, education and health care are growing faster. In the past, inflationary pressures have sparked protests, which the government is keen to avoid.
There may be more clarity on what shape reforms will take next month when top leaders and heads of the biggest state firms and banks have a third full meeting of the Central Committee. It was after such a plenum in 1978 that China opened the economy to foreign investment and loosened state controls.
Opinions vary on how much change will come this time. Industries, including pharmaceuticals, health care and education, will be opened to foreign investments, according to Ken Peng, senior economist at BNP Paribas SA in Beijing.
"It might not be as profitable as it used to be, but it's not a dead end," Peng said. "There are new opportunities to discover."
With the government in its first year, this meeting may also be nothing more than paying "lip service" to reforming state-owned enterprises and "breaking barriers" into industries monopolized by the state, Lu Ting, head of Greater China economics at Bank of America Corp. in Hong Kong, said in a note on Oct. 22. "It won't be a make-or-break moment."
Next month, companies will be watching the rhetoric emanating from Beijing. Executives are hoping the government reiterates that "foreign companies are welcome in China and they can have fair access to this market," McGregor said.

(NewsUSA) - The school year marks a hectic time for parents. Children run out the door to catch the bus, then spend their evenings at after-school programs or practice. As parents rush children between activities and struggle to balance work and family obligations, many might choose the easiest option available to feed their kids -- fast food or convenience foods, like chips and cookies.
But there's no reason that busy families can't enjoy healthy meals and snacks through the school year. The Weight-control Information Network (WIN), an information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), offers the following tips for providing healthy food no matter how tight your schedule:
* Make sure that children eat breakfast. Without a healthy breakfast, children won't have the energy to sit through their morning classes. Plus, they'll be more likely to eat larger, less healthy meals later in the day. Even if your children are running late, they should be able to eat a slice of whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or a berry smoothie as they dash for the bus.
* Allow children to pack their own lunches. Children are more likely to eat meals that they help prepare. Give children choices between healthy options. For example, allow them to choose what kind of fruit they would like in their lunch. Try to include fruits, vegetables, a whole grain and healthy protein in your children's lunches.
* Offer healthy snacks. If children want to munch after school, make sure that they aren't reaching for potato chips by stocking your kitchen with healthier options. For healthy, kid-friendly snacks, try dried fruit and nuts; fresh fruit and yogurt; rice cakes, whole-grain crackers or whole-grain bread served with low-fat cheese, peanut butter, almond butter or soynut butter; pretzels or air-popped popcorn; homemade fruit smoothies made with fresh or frozen fruit and low-fat milk, soy or rice milk, or yogurt; and whole-grain cereals.

Nearly everyone reported so many things wrong in the first 24 hours after the Sandy Hook shootings that it's hard to single out any one news organization or reporter for criticism.
Among the news outlets that wrongly reported major parts of the journalistic building blocks of "who, what, where, when, why and how," were CBS, The Associated Press, The New York Times and NPR — a veritable honor roll of the mainstream media. Many of the reports relied on unnamed law enforcement officials, typically federal, or even the vaguer "the authorities," in at least one instance.
The citation of federal sources typically indicated the nature of the Washington- and New York-based reporters doing the reporting, rather than the originating sources of information itself.
A Series Of Mistakes
Just before 3 p.m. ET Friday, for example, Fox News told viewers that "cops" had identified the shooter as a 24-year-old man named Ryan Lanza. Not on the record, they hadn't, and it wasn't Ryan Lanza. CNN went a step further, quoting a federal law enforcement official who told the network's John King that Ryan Lanza was "not a stranger to the school."
There is currently no known evidence linking the actual shooter — Ryan's younger brother Adam — to the school. On MSNBC, reporters told viewers that the shooter's apartment in Hoboken, N.J., was being searched by police (again wrong — it was Ryan's apartment) and that he walked into his mother's kindergarten class and fatally shot her there before murdering her students.
In fact, local police soon enough announced, on the record, that Lanza's mother, Nancy, was killed at her home; school officials said she did not teach kindergarten, nor any grade or course at the school; that she did not work there nor did they have record that she was a volunteer. As a result, the principal did not admit the shooter inside the campus because he was known to her, as was wrongly reported by various outlets. Police later said he had physically forced his way inside.
Another report that Adam Lanza had confronted teachers the day before the shooting proved equally mistaken.
It was journalistic bedlam.
Some news outlets signaled their mistakes and that stories were shifting; others glossed over them with updated information, as though they had held the facts all along. But it led to a dizzying sense of impermanence to any description of what had actually transpired.
"A guy was misidentified as a mass murderer," said Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, which straddles the worlds of traditional news outlets and social media platforms. "That's horrendous."
BuzzFeed relied on reporting from CNN and other outlets identifying the wrong brother, Ryan, as the killer and then took the additional step only now possible: Its staffers chased down his picture and postings on his Facebook page and slapped his own image and words on the site. It was not alone in doing so.
The New York Times' public editor, Margaret Sullivan, argues in a blog post containing a staggering rundown of the paper's errors that its journalistic missteps were driven by the push to meet the speed of expected social media platforms.
A Change In Consumption, Not Coverage
For many journalists, the misguided stories fall under the rubric of the "fog of war" — the truism that first reports amid chaos are likely to be the least accurate. It's true and yet has cloaked many a journalistic sin over the years. But even in the pre-Internet age, journalists have also been badly mistaken.
In just one of many examples, all three broadcast television networks reported that then-White House Press Secretary James Brady had been killed in the assassination attempt on President Reagan. He survived and became one of the nation's leading gun control advocates.
In this case, the stories were off the mark, but reporters didn't make them up. By all indications, law enforcement officials offered mistaken leads in many cases to reporters they knew for years, yet news organizations chose not to wait until such factual material was confirmed on the record.
Buzzfeed's Ben Smith has worked in the past for more conventional outlets such as the Indianapolis Star, the New York Daily News and Politico. He said coverage of such crises has not changed, but the way in which reporters construct it and readers and viewers consume it has. Now, he said, the assemblage of the news is playing out in full view and in real time.
"[In any major story] there's going to be a massive, fast conversation on social media, and on Twitter in particular, trying to figure out everything they can about anyone whose name has appeared," Smith said. "And the idea the professionals have nothing to do with that conversation strikes me as a bad idea."
And yet, as a result, millions of people will remember the face of the wrong guy as a killer of children, until the media darts en masse in an entirely different direction like a vast school of small fish.
It took writer Dave Cullen a decade to report and write an authoritative account of the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. He said the media had established to its own satisfaction exactly why the teens turned into killers within just a few days.
Thanks to the media, Cullen said, "We knew unequivocally that they were kind of loner outcasts — goths from the trench coat mafia, who had done this as a revenge slaying, primarily against jocks to pay them back for the relentless bullying they had undergone."
One problem: Cullen found that none of that was true. He argued it is unfair to expect precision from the media immediately after a crisis starts, but that journalists must move with lightning speed to correct themselves.
Yet such errant reporting in Connecticut created an opportunity for real harm.
"In the meantime, all sorts of people jump to all sorts of conclusions about what that means and why he did it, and I thought that was irresponsible," Cullen said.
Amid catastrophe and crisis, the media is writing in pencil, erasing it and trying again. So in stories like these, the first draft of history isn't even a draft. It's just raw notes, waiting for rewrite.
And if you've been following the news from Newtown, you may have noticed that much of the information reported in the hours after Friday's tragedy turned out not to be true.
NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik suggests there's a certain inevitability about that in the current media environment.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Everybody got so much so wrong, that it's hard to single anybody out. Among the news outlets that wrongly reported major parts of the journalistic building blocks of who, what, where, when, why and how were CBS, the Associated Press, The New York Times, NPR - a near honor roll of the mainstream media - relying on unnamed federal law enforcement officials, or even more generally, the authorities. Just before 3 pm on Friday, for example, viewers saw reports like this one - in this case, on Fox News.
FOLKENFLIK: No, not Ryan Lanza. Over on CNN...
FOLKENFLIK: Again, not Ryan. And there's no evidence of any link between shooter and school. Over on MSNBC...
FOLKENFLIK: The wrongly identified Ryan Lanza lived in Hoboken. His younger brother Adam - now identified in official statements as the shooter - did not. Their mother did not teach kindergarten at the school, as was reported, nor did she work nor volunteer there, according to school officials. The principal did not recognize and let him into the school. And another report that Adam Lanza had confronted teachers the day before, that was wrong, too. What happened here?
BEN SMITH: What had happened was that a guy was misidentified as a mass murderer. I mean, that's horrendous.
FOLKENFLIK: Ben Smith is editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, a site that straddles old fashioned reporting with social media practices.
SMITH: There were hours of mass confusion in the press, from the authorities and then, naturally, among readers and viewers.
FOLKENFLIK: But the reporters didn't make it up. Law enforcement officials did offer mistaken leads in good faith, yet the information was not confirmed on the record. Smith has worked in the past for conventional newspapers. He says coverage hasn't really changed, but the way reporters construct it and readers and viewers consume it has. Now, he says, it's all playing out in full view and in real time. BuzzFeed relied on the wrong identification of the older brother as the shooter by CNN and others. And BuzzFeed, among other sites, pulled a picture and postings of Ryan Lanza from his Facebook page and slapped them online. Smith says he regrets it deeply, but he also says...
SMITH: There's going to be a massive, fast conversation on social media, and on Twitter in particular, trying to figure out everything they can about anyone whose name has appeared. And the idea that the professionals should make sure that they have nothing to do with that conversation strikes me as a bad idea.
FOLKENFLIK: And yet the wrong guy is thought for some hours to be a killer of children by millions of people before the media darts en masse in an entirely different direction, like a vast school of small fish. It took the writer Dave Cullen a decade to report and write an authoritative account of the 1999 shootings in at Columbine High School in Colorado. He says the media had established to its own satisfaction exactly why the teens turned into killers.
DAVE CULLEN: We knew unequivocally that they were kind of loner outcasts, goths from the trenchcoat mafia who had done this as a revenge slaying, primarily against jocks who they were targeting, to pay them back for the relentless bullying they had undergone.
FOLKENFLIK: None of that was true, Cullen says. But he argues it's unfair to expect precision from the press immediately after a crisis starts, as long as it moves with speed to correct itself.
CULLEN: But in the meantime, all sorts of people jump to all sorts of conclusions about what that means about this killer and why he did it. And I thought that was, well, I guess, irresponsible.
FOLKENFLIK: In catastrophes and crises, the press is writing in pencil and erasing it and trying again. In stories like these, the first draft of history isn't even a draft. It's usually just raw notes, waiting for rewrite. David Folkenflik, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

About Kimberly Conrad
"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". I love the "pouring" of paint, allowing the paint to move freely and tell it's own story. My part in the conversation is to move my body to the rhythm of the emotions it evokes in me, my contribution determined by the temperament of those emotions, whether joyous, angry, peaceful, sad, or frenzied. It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share. In December of 2013, I opened Kimberly Conrad Contemporary Art Gallery in the Capitol Hill area of Denver, in the second story of a beautiful old boarding house built in 1906. Shortly after, I rented an additional space across the hall to use as my studio. Both the gallery and the studio overlook the 7th avenue restaurant district, and provide beautiful city views.

In popular lore — movies, books and blogs — criminals who go to prison don't come out reformed. They come out worse.
Scientists who have attempted to empirically analyze this theory have reached mixed conclusions, with analyses suggesting that activities like drug addiction or gangs are what determines whether the correctional system actually gets criminals to correct their ways.
What else could be at work?
Donald T. Hutcherson II, a sociology professor at Ohio University in Lancaster, recently decided to tackle the question by mining the vast data in the U.S. government's National Longitudinal Survey of Youth.
The survey conducts incredibly detailed and confidential interviews, and then repeats those interviews with the same people year after year — often going to extraordinary lengths to track down those who may have moved overseas or ended up in prison.
Included in the survey are questions about how much money individuals make legally and illegally. Because the survey also ascertains whether people have spent time in prison, Hutcherson pored through data from tens of thousands of queries to a large number of young people to establish whether illegal earnings went up or down after individuals served time.
If prison reformed criminals, illegal earnings once people were released ought to have gone down. But if prison was a "finishing school" for criminals, illegal earnings after serving time should have increased.
"Spending time in prison leads to increased criminal earnings," Hutcherson says. "On average, a person can make roughly $11,000 more [illegally] from spending time in prison versus a person who does not spend time in prison."
As to the process by which this happens, he says, "You come in [to prison]. You're 16, 17, 18 years old. You're looking around and you're thinking, 'Listen, I can learn from these seasoned veterans.' And that's exactly what you do. ... Basically, you are spending a lot of time around other criminals, seasoned veterans who know the lay of the land, and they can teach you the mechanisms — ways to get away with crime."
Because the study looks at averages, it's important to note that Hutcherson isn't saying that all criminals come out of prison primed to become bigger criminals. Lots of people, obviously, come out determined to lead law-abiding lives.
Hutcherson pointed to the role of social networks in all of our lives. In the legal economy, being connected to influential people — via networking — is widely seen as a way to get ahead on the ladder.
The same phenomenon appeared to be at work in the illegal economy as well. "You would think that being punished, serving time in prison, for young people would be a deterrent," Hutcherson says. "But look at it this way. When you leave prison, who are you going to hang out with? You're not going to all of a sudden join the chess club."
OK, let's remember a couple of facts. The United States has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One of many reasons we imprison so many people is to deter crime. And yet at the same time, there's a debate - has been for many years, in fact - about whether prison actually deters crime.
NPR's Shankar Vedantam has been looking into this, and has some research that relates to the topic. Shankar, welcome back to the program.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Thanks, Steve.
INSKEEP: OK, what do you have?
VEDANTAM: Well, you know, Steve, like on many issues, Americans are deeply divided about prison reform. A 2011 Pew survey found that half of all Americans - or close to half - thought that too many people were in prison. At the same time, another half of Americans thought the prison population was about the right size, or could even expand. Now, there have been lots of studies looking at what effect prison has on your legal earnings. There's lots of research that suggests that once you come out from prison, it's hard to find a job, hard to...
INSKEEP: Sure. People ask, have you ever been convicted of a crime? You could lose a job.
VEDANTAM: Exactly. What there hasn't been a lot of is hard evidence on what happens to your illegal earnings when you come out of prison. In other words, you go to jail, you come out; do you end up making more money from illegal activities, or less?
I spoke with Donald Hutcherson. He's a sociologist at Ohio University. He's conducted this national, quantitative analysis using the U.S. government's National Longitudinal Survey; huge survey - 46,000 interviews; 8,000 adolescents and young people, over nine years. And here's what Hutcherson told me he's founded.
DONALD HUTCHERSON: Spending time in prison leads to increased criminal earnings. On average, a person can make roughly $11,000 more from spending time in prison versus a person who does not spend time in prison.
INSKEEP: OK. This is bothersome, Shankar, because there have been people in this very studio talking about the value of college and saying that over a lifetime, you can earn so many more dollars if you go to college. You're telling me that prison is like college. It increases your possibilities for the future.
VEDANTAM: (LAUGHTER) Well, it does put you in jeopardy of going to prison again because this is involve - this is illegal activities. Now, the study actually cannot answer the question, why illegal work would become more lucrative. Hutcherson tells me there are a couple of different explanations. One possibility is gangs. So there has been intersecting research that shows you're more likely to be part of a gang, if you've spent time in prison; and it could be that being part of a gang is what leads to higher illegal earnings.
INSKEEP: More organized crime, OK.
VEDANTAM: Right. But Hutcherson basically says the bottom line is, the study seems to be providing hard, empirical evidence for a commonly held belief that prison essentially serves as a finishing school for criminals.
HUTCHERSON: You come in; you're 16, 17, 18 years old; you're looking around and you're thinking, listen, I can learn from these seasoned veterans. And that's exactly what you do.
VEDANTAM: Now, he's a sociologist. He studies something called social capital; which is, how do your ties to other people shape your behavior, and shape your outcomes. Now, most of the research on social capital so far, is focused on the legal world. You know, we all know it's good to network at parties because that can lead to contacts, and lead to a better job. And what this study suggests is that the same thing happens in the illegal world as well.
HUTCHERSON: You would think that serving time in prison, for young people, would be a deterrent. But look at it this way: When you leave prison, who are you going to hang out with? You're not going to all of a sudden join the chess club.
INSKEEP: This is reminding me of some other research you've brought us recently - because you've told us about the fact that high school students at a high school where lots of people in the past have gone to Harvard or Princeton, are more likely to go to some upscale college like that. You're telling me the opposite here - that if you spend a lot of time with people in prison, you're more likely to make use of those connections; and they may be the only connections that you have.
VEDANTAM: I think that's a really insightful point, Steve, because you're exactly right. Even though these are going in opposite directions, in terms of being positive or negative to society, the same sociological principle is at work. Whom you hang out with makes a huge difference to who you become.
INSKEEP: So how are we, as citizens, supposed to take this? Because surely, people do not want criminals to just walk away from crimes and not go to prison.
VEDANTAM: Well, Hutcherson told me that there has been growing interest among both liberals and conservatives, in the question of prison reform. Debates about prison used to be about the morality of crime, or the morality of prison. Increasingly, he says, both liberals and conservatives are asking the question: What's our return on investment? In other words, it costs tens of thousands to keep somebody in prison for a year. If they come out and they're a worse criminal, how good an investment is it?
INSKEEP: NPR's Shankar Vedantam, thanks very much.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, Steve.
INSKEEP: You can find him on Twitter @HiddenBrain. You can also find me @NPRinskeep, and find this program @MORNING EDITION.

Cloudant has shared news of an updated developer dashboard for users of the company's multi-tenant NoSQL database-as-a-service (DBaaS).
The Dashboard 2.0 offering straddles the "developer database" interest area and works for tasks related to database development, administration, and monitoring.
The company is contributing the software framework for the dashboard (along with many of the modules that fit into it) to the open-source Apache CouchDB project.
Cloudant Dashboard 2.0 offers a rich code editor with syntax highlighting. There is also fast, iterative development with the ability to preview secondary indexes — plus a GUI for replicating data between Cloudant clusters and on-premises databases.
Cloudant users said that working with the new dashboard provides a syntax-highlighted view editor and good task management and testing tools.
The addition of rich code editors and the ability to preview secondary indexes in the new dashboard provide enhanced usability for developers new to NoSQL databases.
"These new tools are intended to help prevent mistakes in MapReduce code and JSON formatting errors, allowing developers to write code with Cloudant's NoSQL DBaaS faster and more easily. Much like an integrated development environment (IDE), the new code editor offers syntax checking and will reject invalid code. Developers can also preview the results of custom
MapReduce functions used to define secondary indexes before fully processing large indexing jobs, preventing time-consuming and costly mistakes," said Brad Noble, VP of product design at Cloudant.
Cloudant Dashboard 2.0 also introduces a customer support portal. Previously, customers had to email Cloudant's support team. Now they can create support tickets and review open and closed cases directly through the dashboard.

1During Jehoiakim's reign Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned and rebelled against him. 2The LORD loosed against him bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he unleashed them against Judah to destroy him, according to the LORD's word spoken through his servants the prophets. 3This befell Judah because the LORD had stated that he would put them out of his sight for the sins Manasseh had committed in all that he did, 4and especially because of the innocent blood he shed; he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not forgive.a
5The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. 6Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king. 7The king of Egypt did not again leave his own land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Reign of Jehoiachin. 8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9He did what was evil in the LORD's sight, just as his father had done.
10b At that time officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege. 11Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his officers were besieging it. 12Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign,* took him captive. 13He carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the house of the LORD, as the LORD had decreed.c 14He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and warriors of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the artisans and smiths. Only the lowliest of the people of the land* were left. 15He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, his wives, his functionaries, and the chiefs of the land he led captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.d 16All seven thousand soldiers of the army, and a thousand artisans and smiths, all of them trained warriors, these too the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 17In place of Jehoiachin the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king; he changed his name to Zedekiah.e
Reign of Zedekiah. 18* Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.f
19He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done. 20This befell Jerusalem and Judah because the LORD was so angry that he cast them out of his sight.
Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
* [24:12] The eighth year of his reign: that is, of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, not Jehoiachin's. The year was 597 B.C.
* [24:14] People of the land: see note on 11:14.
* [24:18–25:30] Much of this material closely parallels Jer 52; some of the events are also recounted in Jer 39.
