Ohio State AAU Recap
The Ohio state AAU tournament took place over the weekend at Princeton High School in suburban Cincinnati. There were some very impressive performances in all age groups throughout the event, though in the end it was Aaron Thomas and the Queen City Prophets that came away as champions at the 17-and under level.
Top Performers
Trey Burke - The lead guard for All-Ohio Red was excellent all weekend long. He is a player who is at his best when the game gets down to crunch time, and continued to make big shot after big shot all weekend long. On top of that Burke showed an excellent ability to beat his man off the dribble going right or left, and converting around the rim. Overall it was a good weekend for Burke who routinely scored close to 30 points per game without forcing many shots.
Stevie Taylor - Burke's running mate in the backcourt also had an impressive showing over the weekend. Taylor was at his best when he would go off the bounce to beat his defender and then use his slick passing and impressive court vision to make a play for a teammate. Taylor is not the strongest player by a long shot, but he did finish through contact a few times. He was streaky with his shot, but Taylor routinely was around double-figure assists, and was key in letting Burke play off the ball some in order to score.
Aaron Thomas - All weekend long Thomas continued his assent onto the national scene. His ball handling is continuing to improve, and that is allowing him to take advantage of all his natural gifts. At 6-foot-5 with long arms, Thomas can get his shot off in traffic and when contested. His athleticism makes him a terror in the open floor. Thomas was vital in Queen City's run to the championship where he scored over 20 and put the game away with his play. Defensively he still needs to learn to be a lockdown guy, but the tools are there for him on that end of the floor as well. Now a four-star prospect, Thomas showed why he is beginning to become a highly touted prospect.
Jalen Ragland - It was a tough spring at times for Ralgand, but he finally was able to get it going. In fact in the championship thriller that Queen City won over All-Ohio in overtime, Ragland was the most important player on the floor. The 6-foot-5 wing had it working from three, and really stretched the defense. Rangland had over 30 in the win, and there are too many players with his length and height that are knock down guys. He is a limited athlete, and needs to add strength, but for mid-majors looking at guys who can flat out hit shots, Ragland is going to be in demand during the month of July at that level.
Kenny Kaminski - Kaminski suited up this weekend with the All-Ohio Red 17 squad due to the fact that his usual Indiana Elite team had the weekend off. Kaminski even with a new team was effective. He is an extremely high level shooter who can also finish around the rim with his size. What is interesting about Kaminski is throughout the weekend he showed that he can be effective in ways other than just when his three ball is going down, but when the shot is off he tends to go away from those other parts of his game. As Kaminski learns to not tie his entire offensive game to the status of his jumper he will take the next step as a prospect.
Adolphus Washington - Antonio Gates is seemingly re-incarnated in the form of Washington. Unlike Gates at a similar stage, Washington knows his future is on the gridiron. The 6-foot-3 power forward clears space with his large frame, and was huge in leading All-Ohio Purple to the 16-and under championship. Washington had a double-double every time out and is a man-child down low. While his potential is limited on the basketball floor, Washington is going to be one of the most heavily recruited football prospects in the Midwest.
Devon Scott - Scott continues to grow as a prospect. The 6-foot-8 forward has long arms, solid athleticism, and a nice touch inside. He however hasn't learned how to play hard every possession and needs to focus on getting strong and playing tougher. Still with a shorthanded All-Ohio Red squad, Scott gave some good moments and showed why mid-majors are taking a long look. His frame and athleticism make him intriguing, but his inconsistency throughout the weekend did raise some questions about his game.
Deontae Hawkins: The sky is really the limit for Hawkins. He is a legitimate 6-foot-7 now with long arms, a lot of athleticism, and range that extends to the three point line. Hawkins is now locked into being a face up power forward as opposed to a small forward, but he looks to still be growing on and off the floor. He struggled at times inside with stronger players, but Hawkins runs the floor very well, has good hands, and can be a mismatch at the next level due to his shooting ability. Once he gets stronger his game is going to go to a new level.
Chris Harrison-Docks: Now running with the All-Ohio Red 16's, Harrison-Docks made a major impact. He is a flashy guard who can over dribble, but he does make things happen. Harrison-Docks loves to push the ball on the break, and his slick passing often leads to easy buckets. Also Harrison-Docks can be a solid outside shooter who is capable of getting hot when in a rhythm. He needs more time to adjust as a point guard with his new teammates, but when on the floor All-Ohio definitely played with a high level pace.
Jordan Potts - Potts is beginning to regain the form that made him an interesting prospect as a freshman. He is a good shooter who has hit big shots early in his high school career. Now healthy and working his way back in shape, Potts is finding his way. A big time competitor, Potts can at times let his emotions take him out of his own game, but when focused he is a combo guard who can defend and really score.
Dontonio Wingfield - Wingfield put up massive numbers as a freshman in high school playing for a weak team against bad competition, but the kid is no joke on the floor. At 6-foot-4 he isn't a point guard, but he has point guard tendencies. He is able to beat his man off the dribble going both right and left, and once in the lane he is a great passer with a feel for the game. Now he does need to be a consistent jump shooter as his future is on the wing, but in an upset win over the All-Ohio Red 15's, Wingfield was the best player on the floor and took over the second half with his play. He looks to still be growing physically, and with his understanding of the game, his future is very bright.
Charles Tucker - Better known as "Cha-Cha", Tucker has an unreal feel for how to play. In transition he always gets the ball to the middle of the floor, and then makes the right pass. In the half court he can score either going to the rim or from deep, but still it is his decision making that opens eyes the most. Tucker's father helped to school Magic Johnson, and it is obvious that his son has been taught well. The Michigan product is emerging as one of the better lead guards in the Midwest in the 2013 class.
Marc Loving - The combo forward from Toledo has been playing against older prospects for a while, and his skill level is undeniable. Loving is a great shooter in the mid-range, and also can step out beyond the three point line. He is already around 6-foot-7 and still growing. Not a great athlete, Loving is an above average athlete, and is comfortable inside or out. Loving is working to become a pure small forward, and it is coming. He still needs to add major strength, but his body has shown improvement since the high school season. Loving needs to rebound and defend better, but his skill set on the offensive end make him a very intriguing prospect going forward.
Nigel Hayes - His older brother is a defensive end commitment to Ohio State, and look for the younger Hayes to be recruited at the high-major level before it is all said and done. At 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds, Hayes is a specimen for a young prospect, and he is coming into his own. Hayes plays with a high motor all the time, and simply knows how to score around the rim. The athleticism is coming, and with more strength he could be very tough to deal with down low. Right now everything is with his right hand, so developing an adequate off hand is going to be important, but for a young interior player Hayes showed very well for himself.
Devin Williams - The 2013 forward prospects seemingly never stop in Ohio. Loving and Hayes run with All-Ohio, while Williams is with the Cincinnati Lakers. Williams has grown since the high school season and is nearly 6-foot-7 now. He has great footwork down low with his back to the basket, and has a frame to be a specimen in time. Williams needs to work on his touch around the rim as he misses too many easy buckets, but his strength and athleticism really make him tough to deal with at his age level.
Tony Farmer - As if Hayes, Loving, and Williams weren't enough, Farmer is another forward in the 2013 class in Ohio with a ton of ability. Farmer is the best athlete of the bunch and already has a man's body. He is between 6-foot-5 and 6-foot-6, and does most of his damage 15 feet and in. His perimeter game does need work, but Farmer has the athleticism and strength to be a major impact player going forward. He suited up with All-Ohio for the first time this weekend, and though he took some time to adjust, Farmer still was one of the best players on their loaded team.
Jaaron Simmons - The last point guard from the city of Dayton to run with All-Ohio turned into a top 50 prospect, Juwan Staten. Now Simmons is looking to take the same career path. A jet with the ball, Simmons can make plays in transition, and also is a capable scorer from deep and in the mid-range. Simmons needs to work on his decision making, but he has a lot of physical tools to work with.
School Lists

WATERTOWN — A soldier who graduated from Watertown High School has died in Afghanistan, the Armysaid Monday.
Sgt. 1st Class Dae Han Park, 36, died Saturday near Kajran, in Daykundi province, Afghanistan.
Park, a solider with Charlie Co., 3rd Battalion,1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), was fatally injured when his vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb. He is the 12th service member with Connecticut ties to die in Afghanistan. Park's unit is based at Fort Lewis, Wash
Park was married and the father of two children, according to officials at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
Gov.Dannel P. Malloyon Monday ordered that Connecticut and U.S. flags be lowered to half staff to honor Park. They will be raised again at sunset on the day of Park's interment.
"Sgt. 1st Class Park's family, particularly his father and stepmother, his wife and children, as well as his friends, are in Cathy's and my thoughts and prayers," Malloy said in a statement released by his office.
"This is a devastating time for those who knew and loved Sgt. 1st Class Park, and for the people with whom he served. He is a hero who died serving his country and he will be honored and remembered as such. We are reminded of the toll war exacts on this country and military families, and how important it is to thank our soldiers for the work they are doing. We pray for their safe return."
Information about Park's funeral arrangements was not immediately available.
Col. John Whitford, a spokesman for the Connecticut Army National Guard, said that Guard soldiers notified Park's parents of his death.
Park enlisted in the Army in February 1998 and after basic training was assigned to the 327
Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell, Ky. In 2000, he earned a Ranger tab and deployed to Iraq as a rifle squad leader. In 2005, he volunteered for the Special Forces Assessment and Selection Course, completed special forces training and joined the elite Army group in 2006.
He served as a communications sergeant with the 3
Battalion, 1
Special Forces Group, and served in Bangladesh, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Cambodia and India. He was on his first rotation to Afghanistan.
Latest Connecticut
He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart but has also earned during his career the Bronze Star, the combat infantryman's badge, the expert infantryman's badge, the air assault badge, the parachutist's badge, the Ranger tab, the Airborne tab, the special forces tab and other commendations.
His survivors include his wife, Mi Kyong Park, and daughters, Niya and Sadie; parents Joseph and Bonnie Schneider of Thomaston; and his sister, Katie, and brother, Saejin, of Watertown.

A report released today on global water security from the Defense Intelligence Agency assesses that in next 10 years, water instability will be likely in "nations important to the United States", and says that in the next decades, the use of water as a weapon will be more become more likely.
The report, which focused on the Nile, Tigris-Euphrates, Mekong, Jordan, Indus, Brahmaputra, and Amu Darya water basins, states that the availability of potable water will not keep up with demand without better water management.
While environmentalists have pointed to agroecology, food sovereignty and viewing water as part of the commons as a path towards responsible water management, the intelligence report sees biotechnology, agricultural exports and virtual water trade as the way forward.
Today, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who requested the report, commented on the report in a speech at the State Department, saying, "As the world's population continues to grow, demand for water will go up but our fresh water supplies will not keep pace." "These difficulties will all increase the risk of instability within and between states," she said.
* * *
The report: Global Water Security
- We assess that during the next 10 years, water problems will contribute to instability in states important to US national security interests. Water shortages, poor water quality, and floods by themselves are unlikely to result in state failure. However, water problems— when combined with poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership, and weak political institutions— contribute to social disruptions that can result in state failure.
- We assess that a water-related state-on-state conflict is unlikely during the next 10 years. Historically, water tensions have led to more water-sharing agreements than violent conflicts. However, we judge that as water shortages become more acute beyond the next 10 years, water in shared basins will increasingly be used as leverage; the use of water as a weapon or to further terrorist objectives also will become more likely beyond 10 years.
* * *
The report notes that agriculture is responsible for approximately 70 percent of the global fresh water supply, and implies the need for geneticically modifed crops to deal with the decreasing water supply. From the report:
• Research to develop drought resistance in crops has been conducted for several decades, but no commercialization exists to date. During the next three decades, selected crops could be developed that require half the water used by current crops, but widespread cultivation of such crops is problematic.
• Limited experiments are being conducted to develop food plants that can tolerate salt or waste water. The advances in biotechnology may result in new plants or genetically altered strains that can grow in salt water from the ocean or large saltwater aquifers.
* * *
It also touts virtual water trade as one of "the best solutions for water problems" and says that the U.S. will lead in the export of virtual water:
The United States is also one of the highest exporters of "virtual water" (water consumed in the manufacturing or growing of an export product), providing numerous opportunities for engagement with the rest of the world.
The reports sees other countries' water scarcity as a boon for U.S. exports:
The United States can benefit from an increased demand for agricultural exports as water scarcity increases in various parts of the world. This would be especially true if states expecting increased water scarcity rely upon open markets instead of seeking bilateral land-lease arrangements in other countries to achieve their food security.
* * *
Today, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who requested the report, commented on the report in a speech at the State Department.
"I think it's fair to say the intelligence community's findings are sobering."
"As the world's population continues to grow, demand for water will go up but our fresh water supplies will not keep pace."
"These difficulties will all increase the risk of instability within and between states," she said.
"Within states they could cause some states to fail outright. And between and among states, you could see regional conflicts among states that share water basins be exacerbated and even lead to violence."

Veteran Chrysler executive to lead management of pension and related assets
CHICAGO (Oct. 9, 2009) - Exelon Corporation today announced that it has named Douglas J. Brown senior vice president and chief investment officer, effective Nov. 16. Brown comes to Exelon following a 26-year career with Chrysler Corporation and its affiliates, where he most recently served as assistant treasurer and chief investment officer. He replaces George Shicora, who is retiring.
Reporting to William A. Von Hoene, Jr., executive vice president, finance and legal, Exelon, Brown will lead a team of professionals responsible for managing $15 billion of trust assets, including pension, post retirement, nuclear decommissioning trusts, defined contribution and non-qualified plan assets. He will be responsible for managing the governance of the plans, including investment practices, funding and related regulatory compliance.
"Adding Doug to our management team signifies the great importance we place on managing our pension and decommissioning assets, which comprise a very significant portion of our balance sheet. We have the utmost confidence in Doug's abilities, as confirmed by the strong performance of pension funds previously under his care," said Von Hoene.
As chief investment officer for Chrysler LLC, Brown led an organization responsible for all asset management activities globally for Chrysler LLC, including pension funds, defined contribution plans and other employee benefit trusts totaling $30 billion. Chrysler's $20 billion U.S. pension fund has been among the top performing funds over the past one-, three- and five-year periods.
Brown's career with Chrysler and its affiliates began in 1983. He was advanced to positions of increasing responsibility, including manager, financial planning and control for Chrysler Financial Corporation; treasurer for DaimlerChrysler Canada; and director, corporate finance and capital markets for DaimlerChrysler Corporation.

HAVANA (Reuters) - A former democratic senator and governor from Florida, Bob Graham, visited Cuba this week to discuss oil spill prevention and preparedness during a trip that has caused a stir among exiles and Cuba watchers due to his traditional support for tough sanctions against the Communist-ruled Caribbean island.
Cuba and its partners drilled three exploratory wells off Cuba's northern coast in recent years that came up dry, but more such wells are expected in the future in search of billions of barrels of oil thought to be below its Gulf of Mexico waters.
Graham's first ever visit to Cuba follows President Barack Obama's recent call, while visiting Miami, for "modernizing" relations with Cuba, as well as his famous handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro while attending Nelson Mandela's memorial service in South Africa last month.
The strained relationship between the long-time foes has eased since Obama began his second term in office. Recently, State Department and Cuban officials told Reuters that contacts have been pragmatic and cordial, without the traditional rhetoric from both sides.
The two countries do not have diplomatic relations and Cuba has faced a U.S. embargo for more than half a century.
Graham, 77, told Reuters on Thursday that his visit was consistent with Obama's policy of "taking on specific areas where there is a common interest and arriving at an approach on how to manage certain issues."
The former presidential candidate is part of a larger group of environmentalists and disaster experts on a 5-day visit organized by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations to discuss "environmental risks in the Gulf of Mexico related to natural disasters and offshore drilling," according to a press release issued upon its arrival on Monday.
Graham, a former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, also co-chaired the National Commission on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling established by Obama after the BP oil spill in the Gulf in 2010. The commission's other co-chair, William K. Reilly, a former EPA administrator, is also part of the group.
"We became interested in cooperation among Gulf countries doing drilling while on the commission," Graham said as he and Reilly ate lunch in the restored colonial district of Havana before a meeting with officials from the state oil monopoly.
"We are here to learn as much as we can about things of interest to us, such as safety standards and the capacity to respond to an oil spill," he said.
The trip has come under fire by supporters of the embargo.
The director of the Cuban-American lobby group, Cuba Democracy Advocates, questioned the visit in an interview with Diario las Americas.
"It is completely illogical and comes close to ridiculous," Mauricio Claver-Carone said.
Graham said he understood the criticism but was not concerned.
Graham said he still supports sanctions on Cuba, "but I also support a process that will try to move us toward normalization. I don't think it is going to happen in one strike, but through working on issues of common interest such as offshore oil drilling where a spill could prove disastrous for Florida," he said.
Graham said that at a reception Wednesday evening, he had talked with foreign ministry officials about human rights and the fate of jailed U.S. contractor Alan Gross, sentenced in 2011 to 15 years in prison for setting up Internet links that bypassed local government control as part of a U.S. project Cuba considers subversive.
"We have had conversations over a number of areas, such as the recent migration talks and biotechnology," Graham said.
"I think there are a series of issues that are not ideological issues, pragmatic issues that are forming the agenda of discussions between the United States and Cuba where both sides will benefit by an intelligent resolution."

Botanical Scrapbooks
June 26, 2013 at 8:00 am crawfordk Leave a comment
Collecting and preserving plants has always been a popular pastime, especially in the 19th century. Both men and women pressed flowers and foliates (leaves) to keep in botanical scrapbooks. This activity served a variety of interests, both scientific and sentimental.
Whatever their purpose, plants that were collected were prepared and added to scrapbooks in a similar fashion. Flowers typically were pressed in between the pages of a book by the amateur hobbyist while the more serious collector often used a field press. The field press was superior because of its ability to preserve a plant's color and create a more precise specimen. Field presses were composed of two boards of wood, leather straps and sheets of blotting paper. The process was simple: a plant or flower would be placed between two pieces of paper, then placed between boards. Leather straps would be tightly wrapped around the packet and firmly secured. When sufficiently dry, the specimen would be removed from the field press and glued, sewn, or attached with thin gummed strips to a scrapbook page.
The way in which these items were displayed depended on the type of book the collector wanted to create. Scrapbooks for botanical study usually included a taxonomic description (family, genus and species), a physical description of the plant as well as the date and location of when and where it was collected. Scrapbooks created for sentimental reasons might have been created as a craft project or to serve as a memento in remembrance of a person, event or place.
The Smithsonian Gardens' Garden Furnishings and Horticultural Artifact Collection includes three examples of 19th and early 20th century botanical scrapbooks.
Scrapbook as Herbarium for Botanical Study
A botanical scrapbook (FJP.1987.364) dated 1905 was created by Margaret May Hill and is an example of an herbarium or collection of dried flowers that are labeled and described for botanical study.
Botanical Scrapbook as Memento
The botanical scrapbook titled "Flowers of Remembrance" is a sentimental travel log of visits to sites all over Italy during the 1850s. Instead of a travel journal with written entries, the pages are filled with flowers and plants collected from various sites as mementos. One page shows pressed flowers collected at the Roman Coliseum in 1853, 1854 and 1856 all on the same page.
Botanical Scrapbook for Study and as Memento
A book of dried water ferns (Salviniales) is both scientific and sentimental as it illustrates both the incredible variety and beauty of water ferns. The front of the book reveals that it was a gift from a grandmother to her grandson (Hester Schell to Howard Schell) on November 11, 1900.

Saints Row: The Third (Xbox 360) review
"It is immaculately paced because it loves you. Most games can be insensitive clods with occasional rough patches. You get stuck for a while, or it's slow to start, or you cruise through some filler, or certain design choices are clunky, or the characters are flat and you don't care about them, or you know exactly what's going to happen next and therefore when it happens you don't care. None of this happens in Saints Row 3, which is a textbook example of how to keep me into a game from beginning to open-ended end."

Main Question: Does anyone know of a reference that can tell me which axioms of ZFC Quine's New Foundations prove, disprove, and leave undecided?
Secondary Question: I've read that diagonal arguments don't go through in NF and thus can't be used to prove that the reals are uncountable. Does NF manage to prove the uncountability of the reals by some other means or does that fact (normally rendered as "$P _1(\mathbb{N}) < P(\mathbb{N})$" in order to make sense in NF) turn out to be undecidable in NF?

Hurricane Sandy's early wrath across the states
Hurricane Sandy is churning off the East Coast and is expected to join up with two other weather systems to create a huge and problematic storm affecting 50 million people. Here's a snapshot of what is happening or expected, state by state.
The storm lashed barrier islands off North Carolina and rendered several homes and businesses nearly inaccessible. About 90 miles off the coast, a tall ship carrying 17 people was in distress; the Coast Guard was monitoring.
The number of power outages increased quickly in a state where utilities' response to past weather-related failures has become a political issue. Connecticut Light & Power says hundreds of customers are without power. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy asked a task force to ensure fuel suppliers are fully stocked. Many residents along Long Island Sound heeded warnings and evacuated.
Hundreds of people fled to shelters as rough surf pounded the coast. Water covered some roads.
Snow is expected in mountainous areas.
Officials predict coastal flooding and beach erosion, and utility crews have been brought in from Canada to handle anticipated power failures.
Hurricane Sandy inflicted considerable damage overnight to a large, iconic ocean pier in the Maryland beach resort of Ocean City. In mountainous western Maryland, a blizzard warning was issued for sections of Garrett County for Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Utilities brought in crews from as far away as Texas and the Midwest to cope with anticipated power failures. Most schools and colleges have canceled classes. The Boston transit authority said it would continue to operate as long it was safe.
Gov. John Lynch put 100 National Guard soldiers on active duty to help with preparations. Two shelters are being set up, and some schools have closed.
Much stronger winds, rain and flooding marked the approach Monday of Hurricane Sandy, on its way to a predicted direct hit on New Jersey. Tidal waters crossed the main oceanfront drive in the south end of Cape May, and streets near the Atlantic City Boardwalk began to flood. Officials closed a section of the Garden State Parkway because of flooding.
Many residents left low-lying flood evacuation zones, and the subway system shut down Sunday night. A storm surge of 11 feet is possible, the highest of all coastal areas being hit by Sandy. The New York Stock Exchange and other U.S. financial markets shut down for at least the day. Thousands of flights were canceled at the city's major airports.
Residents of low-lying areas and along Lake Erie were told to watch for flooding; utilities are anticipating high winds that could blow down trees and poles. Snow is forecast in some areas.
Many schools closed. Philadelphia shut down its mass transit system, and hundreds of flights were canceled at the city's airport. Dozens of people took shelter at evacuation centers. Thousands of members of the National Guard have been told to be ready for deployment.
Officials are concerned about wind driving water north up Narragansett Bay, which could create flooding in low-lying areas of the upper bay, including Providence, Warwick and Cranston. About 2,600 National Grid customers were without power, mostly in Barrington and other parts of Bristol County.
Snow is expected in higher elevations, where a freeze warning has been issued. High winds are expected in many areas.
Gov. Peter Shumlin declared a state of emergency to provide access to National Guard troops in a state still recovering from the devastating effects of the remnants of Hurricane Irene. Culverts and storm drainage basins in some spots have been cleared of debris.
About 4,800 customers lacked power, and a utility said as many as 1 million could ultimately lose electricity. Many residents of Chincoteague Island, popular with tourists, shrugged off the idea of evacuation.
The capital area's transit system shut down rail service for the first time since 2003, and the Smithsonian Institution closed for the day.
As much as 2 to 3 feet of snow was forecast in mountainous areas, and flooding was possible in some areas. At least 14 counties are under a blizzard warning Monday as high winds and heavy, wet snow moves through the state.

The nation's top prosecutor and other officials announced a new effort Tuesday to reduce gun violence in Connecticut's major cities by directly engaging violent groups with warnings and offers of assistance to change.
The nation's top prosecutor and other officials announced a new effort Tuesday to reduce gun violence in Connecticut's major cities by directly engaging violent groups with warnings and offers of assistance to change.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and David Fein, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, said Project Longevity has begun in New Haven and will be expanded to Bridgeport and Hartford. Eventually it may be implemented statewide, a first for the program, officials said.
"By identifying and targeting the groups that are responsible for violence throughout this city, and, eventually, the entire state of Connecticut, Project Longevity will send a powerful message to those who would harm their fellow citizens that such acts will not be tolerated, that they will be swiftly met with clear, predictable consequences, but also that help is available for all those who wish to break the cycle of violence and gang activity," Holder said in New Haven.
The program, hailed as successful in reducing violence in other cities such as Chicago and Cincinnati, involves meetings in which authorities, local leaders and social service providers warn those involved in violence it is unacceptable and will be met with clear enforcement consequences. They are offered help, including educational, medical, housing and employment, to transition out of a gang lifestyle.
Connecticut's overall crime rate is at its lowest since 1968. But gun violence remains high in the largest cities, where 94 out of 129 homicides occurred last year.
Most gun violence involves gangs and drug crews, authorities said. Officials noted that many of the victims are children, including a three-year-old girl shot in May in Bridgeport when she was caught in the crossfire of rival gangs and a one-year-old boy shot in a gang-related drive-by shooting in New Haven.
The children survived and arrests have been made, authorities said.
The strategy, first implemented in Boston in the 1990s, is based on research that found that violence in troubled neighborhoods is caused primarily by a small number of people who are members of street gangs, drug crews and other groups. In New Haven, 19 groups comprised of less than 600 people are responsible for almost all the violent crime, Malloy said.
"Young people are killing other young people often for no discernible reason," Malloy said.
Researchers at Yale University, the University of New Haven and University of Cincinnati studied police and other data and identified those gangs and groups most responsible for violence in New Haven. Members from two of those groups were called in to meet Monday to hear presentations from community members, service providers and law enforcement.
"The simple, unified message was clear: the community needs the violence to stop," Fein said. "There are people who will help you choose a better path and if you don't, the enforcement consequences are certain."
Alicia Caraballo, director of adult education in New Haven who is involved in the initiative, said her 24-year-old son Justin was fatally shot in 2008 in New Haven. She said her son, her only child, "did everything the right way," noting he was a school social worker and administrator.
"Holidays, weddings, graduations, celebrations are always a reminder that my son is not here," Caraballo said.
She said every homicide reminds her of her son's killing and implored those involved in violence to stop. She noted her son's killer will spend the rest of his life in prison.
"We want you to be productive members of our society," Caraballo said. "But if you choose not there are consequences and our community and everyone is standing behind that."
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal said by implementing the program statewide it could serve as a national model.

With a Galaxy Note 2, when answering a call with headphones (but not a headset) connected, the audio output goes through the headphones and the inbuilt microphone works as though it were a normal call (so it's too quiet when it's a few inches away). When I switch to speakerphone, it ignores the headphones entirely and audio output switches to inbuilt speaker.
Basically, I'd like to talk to people with my phone on my desk and a pair of conventional headphones.

Remember the Mid-Drive Crisis Mitsubishi Mirage? They all laughed when it entered the track! Well, nobody is laughing now, because the innovative Mitsu with the mid-mounted driver's seat now sits at the top of the Yeehaw It's Texas LeMons standings!
Mitsubishis have fared very, very poorly in LeMons racing over the years, to the point where a top-10 finish is a cause for jubilation among fans of Galants, Colts, Starions, and Eclipses.
Speaking of Diamond Star Motors products, we've got another Mitsubishi in second place: the Idiocracy Rehab Racing Talon looms less than a lap behind the Mid-Drive Crisis. You'd be hard-pressed to find a car with a worse LeMons record than the Talon; the Triumph TR7 might be its only rival for the Most Heartbreaking LeMons Car award. Sure, Talons are quick, but they tend to blow the hell up in endurance races.
One lap behind the Talon, we find a car that LeMons insiders predict will win a race in the 2010 season: the Cajun Coonasses dba Speed Racer Y'all Saturn SC2. This car has finished in the Top 5 in numerous races, won the '09 season team points championship, and would not shock any of us if it made up those two laps and roared to victory on Sunday. Believe it or not, the Saturn SL/SC has been a dominating LeMons car, and it's even more dominating in the hands of the super-consistent Cajun Coonasses wheelmen.
The top three had better not stumble, however, because the two-time LeMons-winning Red Rocket Ratnest Revival Ford Taurus SHO lurks a mere three laps behind the leader, and it's running best lap times well below the pace set by the leaders. Not only does this car get driven to and from the track— who needs a trailer?— but it serves as the team captain's daily driver (yes, he puts the doors back on when he drives on public roads)! Will that powerful-but-fragile Yamaha V6 hold together for one more day? You never know!
What's this? An Infiniti in the Top Five? That's right, the Swine Flew Raycing J30 has just five laps to make up in order to take the top spot, and a lot can happen in a day of racing in Texas.
Meanwhile, the Index Of Effluency race is really heating up. The long-awaited Duratec-powered Renault Dauphine is on the track, along with two Triumphs (TR6 and TR7), two Mustang IIs, and the most horrible Toyota Tercel hatchback we've ever seen. Check in later for more LeMons action!

If you are just dipping your toe into the mighty muddy Mississippi-sludge sounds of New Orleans music, here is a list to get your mojo workin', courtesy of members of the Amoeba family who are lifelong New Orleans music fanatics.
KAREN: The New Orleans sound is that rare gumbo of musical complements: a meaty stew of blues, R&B, jazz, African rhythms, Cuban, French, country Cajun, hip hop and so much more. But what defines New Orleans music? That is the unanswerable question. You can say it's this or it's that — it's the syncopation or the bass or the raw, funky rhythm. But really it's the soul of the music — the undefinable "Get Down" or "Get On Up." This is the music that carries your soul down the block on a second-line funeral procession — and gets your feet dancing in a musky club on Frenchman Street. It is playful. Funky. Deep and swampy. Raw and dirty. Mournful. Plaintive. And everything in between. It isn't defined by a drum beat. Or maybe it is. You've just got to listen for yourself.
Here are my top picks for records you need to own. Essential New Orleans listening, in no particular order. This is my own Dirty Dozen:
