Schools review standards of skills and content to assure that students who complete the coursework are prepared to successfully complete upper-division coursework. Articulation agreements are on TIPPS (tipps.cuny.edu).Bachelor's DegreeA diploma awarded to a student upon successful completion of the 4-year degree requirements. Typically a bachelor degree requires about 120 credits comprised of General Education Requirements (or Core Requirements), and major requirements, and elective requirements.Basic SkillsPre-college level courses designed to improve basic skills for academic success such as reading, writing, and math below 101 level.CatalogThe LaGuardia Catalog provides program information, general education information, course descriptions and administrative information to assist students.Common ApplicationThe Common Application is an online and print admission application that students may submit to any of 415 member colleges. The transfer application consists of the Application, Instructor Evaluation, College Official's Form, Mid-Term Report, and Secondary School Final Report. Some colleges also require College-Specific Supplements.CUNY (City University of New York)The City University of New York is the nation's leading urban public university serving more than 480,000 students at 23 colleges and institutions in New York City. The University's 23 institutions include 11 senior colleges, six community colleges, the William E. Macaulay Honors College at CUNY, the Graduate School and University Center, the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, the CUNY School of Law, the CUNY School of Professional Studies, and the CUNY School of Public Health.CUNY BA Baccalaureate Unique and Interdisciplinary StudiesCUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA/BS) is a university-wide individualized bachelor's degree where students work one-on-one with faculty. With an annual enrollment of 500, this degree is intended for self-directed, academically strong students who have well-formulated academic and career goals. Most are working adults.CUNY Online BAThe CUNY Online Baccalaureate is an internet program which allows students to have flexible time and convenient ways to complete their baccalaureate degree. The Online BA now offers two majors: an online Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Culture, and an online Bachelor of Science degree in Business. Graduate Degree/StudentA Graduate Degree is obtained after a student has received a Bachelor's degree. It is awarded by an institution of higher education beyond the undergraduate level.GPA (Grade Point Average)The GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points (grade points) earned by the number of hours attempted for which grades of A, B, C, D, E were earned and then rounded off to two decimal places. Each semester the GPA for that semester and the cumulative GPA are indicated on the transcript. For more information, see the Catalog under 'Grade Point Average'.Liberal ArtsGeneral Education courses focus on communication, creativity, and critical thinking along with the substance of the course's information, an appreciation of the esthetics of the area of study and its connection to the larger social web. Students become educated through making connections of such varied information with the different methods of organizing human experience that are practiced by different disciplines.MajorA major is a specific area of study focusing on one defined discipline which includes a related set of academic courses.Merit-Based ScholarshipMerit- Scholarships are given to students who have excelled in a specific field. It can be given to students who have an outstanding community service, for special talents in art, music, dance, drama, writing, and high grade point average.MinorPart of a degree program in a defined discipline including a related set of academic courses. Its requirements are distinct from the major and require fewer hours.Needs-Based ScholarshipThis scholarship is given to students who demonstrate financial need, due to their parents in a lower-middle income bracket may not have the funds to pay for college, but their parents make too much for them to qualify for government grants and other assistance primarily for students at or below the poverty level.Pathways Pathways is a Fall 2013 CUNY-wide initiative that establishes a new system of general educaiton requirements and new transfer guidelines. Students must fulfill the Common Core, Flexible Core, and the College Option through courses in eight categories. It is important for students to be aware of curriculum requirements at LaGuardia and the senior colleges. Please see the Pathways website for more information.PrerequisiteA course or requirement that is to be completed prior to the next one. Many catalogs list requirements alphabetically by number, rarely is this an indication of the order of courses to be taken. Prerequisites indicate the curriculum building blocks to get to the advanced courses. Some departments will block registrations if prerequisites have not been met. Students who bypass prerequisites may jeopardize their learning. Faculty will not go back to cover material that was to be taken in a previous class.Private School (or Institution) Private schools are not run by the government and funding comes from tuition, investments and private donors, although many receive public subsidies. Examples of private institutions in New York are New York University, Columbia University, Pace University, Vassar College, School of Visual Arts and Marymount Manhattan College.Repeat CoursesA student may repeat a course in which a low grade has been received. Upon completion of the repeat a 'Repeated Course Form' must be completed at SLCC Enrollment Services. The original grade remains on the transcript, but is marked as a repeat and removed from the GPA calculation. Some 4-year majors have a specific limit on how many times a course can be repeated. Some colleges/universities use the second repeated course grade even if the first grade was higher when considering transfer of courses and GPA.SAT/ACTThe SAT and ACT are standardized tests for admission into colleges. They test math, writing and analytical skills. When looking at the CUNY application or other admission applications, please don't confuse the ACT with the CUNY-ACT tests (which measures readiness for English 101).SemesterA term which includes 12 weeks each for Fall I and Spring I and 6 weeks each Fall II and Spring II.SUNY (State University of New York)The nation's largest and most comprehensive state university system, SUNY's 64 geographically dispersed campuses bring educational opportunity to virtually all New Yorkers. SUNY's campuses are divided into four categories (University Centers/Doctoral Granting Institutions, University Colleges, Technology Colleges, and Community Colleges) and include colleges such as Fashion Institute of Technology, SUNY Downstate, Binghamton, New Paltz and Empire State College.Syllabus/SyllabiA syllabus contains specific information about the course, such as information on how, where and when to contact the instructor; an outline of what will be covered in the course; a schedule of test dates and the due dates for assignments; the grading policy for the course; specific classroom rules and other information. If a student plans on transferring, keeping syllabi is a good practice in case he or she needs to make a case for a course being equivalent.TIPPSTIPPS (Transfer Information and Program Planning System) is a webpage with links to CUNY-wide articulation agreements, transfer policies, majors/degrees, and course equivalencies.Traditional StudentGenerally, students who begin college immediately after high school or shortly thereafter (ages 18-22) and who are full-time students. TranscriptA copy of a student's permanent academic record. Official copies are required for transcript evaluation and transfer of credits to a 4 year school. You will need official transcripts sent from every school of higher education you have attended. Unofficial copies may be used for advising while the official evaluation is pending; you may find your unofficial transcript at esims.cuny.edu. Transfer StudentThe process of going from one school to the next. A transfer student to a 4-year institution typically has earned his/her Associate's Degree. Generally, students will need at least 24 credits to transfer to a 4-year CUNY/SUNY school and have a minimum GPA of 2.0. Please note that some schools have higher GPA requirements. Students seeking to transfer with less than 24 credits generally have higher GPA requirements and will be required to submit high school information as part of the admissions process.University Application Processing Center (UAPC)Transfer applications, which are only online, are processed by UAPC.Undergraduate Degree/StudentDegree granted to students upon completion of undergraduate courses (usually a Bachelor's degree).

I am running Team Viewer 9 on both the Client and the Host. The Host computer is Windows 8.1 and the Client is Windows 7 Pro.
When i open applications i just get a Black windows with borders. This happens with numerous applications but not all of them (i think it might be due to how each app is drawn) either way the two biggest ones that bother me are Visual Studios 2013 and Chrome. However the Battle.net launcher will load without issues.
I have attached a screen capture from TeamViewer of Visual Studios you can see the purple border however, you are unable to see the content of the screen. Also even though I have my wallpaper hidden for performance reasons, if i chose to show the wallpaper the content of the app is black not transparent to the wallpaper.
Any Ideas?

Chula Vista manages materials, not waste
Waste management in Chula Vista
• Mandatory separating of all designated recyclables from trash
• Mandatory recycling of construction and demolition debris
• Organics management/yard waste collection
• Composting workshops
• Holiday tree recycling
• Free bulky item collection service
• Education about how to reduce junk mail
• Hazardous waste disposal
• Sharps waste disposal
• Free used oil and filter recycling
• Pharmaceutical waste disposal (except controlled substances)
CHULA VISTA In the 1980s, Chula Vista was notorious for its dumping problem, but in the last three decades the city has transformed itself to become one of California's leading cities for waste management.
The California Resource Recovery Association, a statewide nonprofit recycling association, earlier this month recognized the city for its household hazardous waste program, or HHW. HHW allows Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and National City residents to dispose of batteries, fluorescent bulbs and sharps, along with hazardous chemicals like paint thinners and pesticides.
California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery also recently recognized Chula Vista for achieving the largest increase in used motor oil collection of any participating city in the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The city collected 28,679 gallons that year through a program that is free to residents.
One of the big reasons Chula Vista's efforts have proved successful, city leaders say, is they are changing community's concept of what constitutes "waste."
"We look at it as material management, not waste management," said Environmental Services Program Manager Lynn France. "We're constantly thinking about and trying to get at the highest and best use for our materials. It's not waste until it's buried in a landfill."
Everything her department does involves looking at resources and teaching residents to do the same, she said. She was uncertain where to start describing the dozen or so programs her department runs to keep Chula Vista clean.
The programs range from mandatory recycling and bulky item collection services, to composting courses and junk mail reduction education. It also holds regular take-back drives to collect electronics, and pays for a free mail service for needles, lancets and syringes. Most recently, the city began to look at ways to recycle pharmaceuticals and controlled substances safely, because they pose a public health hazard when sent to the landfills.
Chula Vista is in a position to provide these options, France said, because its laws allow the city to charge residents for trash and recycling services. The Environmental Services program, with a $1.6 million budget, is funded in part by about 5 percent of the trash bill revenues. The money the city makes from residents' recyclable items also helps pay for other environmental services.
Education and outreach form a big part of her division's responsibilities. To keep residents accountable for recycling only the designated items in the proper manner, France has recycling specialists who go out into a given area before recyclables are picked up in the morning and look in the cans. Residents who have put ineligible items in the bin get an "oops!" sticker on the offending items, and those who did a good job get a "job well done" tag.

As resilient as it is elegant, this Deluxe Binder is built to last. Most binders end up falling apart after a short of time, but not ours - it's made to serve you for years without ever showing it. Handcrafted from quality materials, our full grain Deluxe Binder features nickel hardware and a polyurethane lining for extra protection. Leather pockets give you extra storage space - you can have a presentation in the rings of the binder with extra notes or a meeting agenda in the pockets. Designed for plenty of storage space, it's still small enough to fit in most backpacks or briefcases. If you're tired of those flimsy, floppy plastic binders, this Deluxe Binder is just what you need.
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
Well-made and sleek! Love the initials.
Exactly what I wanted, it just didn't fit. I will return it. I can't understand why I can't find a binder cover in a mid-range size, it is easy to buy the checks.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

Boldly redesigned, the 2013 Lexus RX350 refines the luxurious experience Lexus has been offering its customers for years and gives exactly what is expected from a Lexus. It is a positive effort on behalf of the auto manufacturer to revamp and restyle its visual brand identity. Its sporty appearance comes with a promise of durability, and pleasure of driving a luxury vehicle. For those who desire the cargo capacity and ride height of a sport utility vehicle and yet require the finer luxury and comfort of a sedan, this vehicle is the answer. The RX350 has eye-catching exterior styling and a plush smooth ride with promising fuel economy. This crossover provides a variety of new features both on the exterior and the interior compared to its predecessors.
New For 2013
An F Sport model is new. In addition to its firmer suspension, shift paddles, and standard all-wheel drive, it gets an eight-speed automatic and a more-aggressive-looking front end. All RX models get a bit of a nose job this year to accommodate the brand's new ?spindle? grille. The cabin is revised, along with some options packages.
With its aggressive-looking headlamps and bulging front bumper and a shoulder line that runs along the side of the car from the front headlamps to the taillights, the 2013 Lexus RX350 sets a domineering presence on the road. Its outstanding design is both aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing. Its 18-inch alloy wheels just add to the magnificence of this vehicle. The new RX350 stands tall at 66.7 inches, and measures 187.8 and 74.2 inches in overall length and width respectively. Ground clearance measures 7.3 inches. The use of a power liftgate seems futile; however it could be quite useful for shorter people who often find it difficult to close the hatch of the RX350 once it has been opened. Customers have an option of purchasing different trim levels, which include the all-wheel drive, front drive, or the RX350 sport.
Interior & Cargo
The interior of the new Lexus RX350 is exquisitely modern. It drips with technology and gadgets, and yet is absolutely stunning to look at. Inside the cabin, a multifunction control for the navigation system is easy and very intuitive to use. Cup holders and the storage space in the center console are illuminated. Keyless ignition and entry, a power tilt-and-telescoping three-spoke steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control are just some of the many features of the RX350. Black leather, heated and cooled, perforated seats are exceptionally comfy for the rear passengers as they are for the front passengers. A navigation screen in front and two screens for rear passengers let occupants enjoy their DVD entertainment system while on the road. There is 40 cubic feet of cargo capacity just for groceries behind the seats, and a total of 80.3 cubic feet cargo space in all. Apart from the cargo inside the vehicle, it can hold cargo of up to 3500 pounds. As in the previous models, the RX350 is still a five-passenger vehicle, and unfortunately a third row of seats is not an option. This is the price to pay when opting for a crossover vehicle.
The RX350 has a reinforced body, with structural reinforcements, as well as rear and front crumple zones. In case of low-velocity rear-end collisions, active front headrests rise diagonally upward and forward which aids in restricting the movement of the head relative to the spine. Large 12.9- and 12.2-inch front and rear brake discs provide solid braking power when needed. These anti-lock brakes incorporated with brake assist help drivers avoid accidents by reducing the stopping time and improving handling and control, even if the driver does not apply enough pressure on the brake pedal. An accurate and precise tire-pressure monitoring system constantly checks the tire pressure in each tire and then, if required, notifies the driver right on the screen. The 2013 Lexus RX350 uses radar technology to identify vehicles in the blind spot when changing lanes and an illuminated icon in the side mirror notifies the driver. The Pre-Collision System of the Lexus RX350 uses a radar sensor that continually monitors the closing speed and distance of another vehicle ahead. If the system determines that a collision is inevitable, the Pre-Collision System retracts the seat belts and prepares the brake-assist for a collision. The RX350 comprises of side airbags that deploy, upon collision, like a curtain along the side of the cabin interior, keeping front and rear passengers completely safe. When it comes to safety, the RX350 leaves no room for error.
Driving Experience
Under the hood, the 2013 Lexus RX350 comes with a powerful, 3.5-liter, V-6 engine which produces 270 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, giving it enough power to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about 7.8 seconds, which is actually quite impressive for luxury crossovers of this size. Apart from the power, Lexus is known for its luxury inside the passenger cabin and the silky smooth ride that comes with it. This is possibly due to the six-speed automatic transmission with sequential gearshift. This combined with the engine and transmission, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and stabilizer bar, all deliver a plush ride expected from any luxury vehicle. The brakes feel strong and have tremendous braking power, while there is ample acceleration to speed out of corners.

The mini-paradise on their doorstep is an attractive destination for residents of Munich seeking rest and refreshment – with one of the cleanest lakes in Bavaria, good air, a wonderful landscape and pretty villages. In medicine + healthcare, the region is a strong player especially due to its healing iodine-sulphur springs.
In 1903 the Dutch mining engineer Adrian Stoop was drilling for oil in Bad Wiessee. At first he appeared successful but the dream of a "Bavarian Texas" soon evaporated as the black gold was replaced by water that smelled strongly of sulphur bubbling to the surface out of the borehole. The reason: Stoop had discovered the strongest iodine-sulphur spring in Germany and thus created the foundation for the important medicine + healthcare sector in the region. The local doctor in Bad Wiessee, Dr. Erwin von Dessauer, recognised the importance of the water. It was on his suggestion that the first "Original Wiesseer Quellenbäder" spa treatments were administered in 1910. However, there is much more to the healthy reputation of the Tegernsee region than the spa waters - there is also stunningly beautiful countryside, a "Heilklimapark" (health walking park) with countless marked footpaths and Nordic walking routes, several top clinics, renowned specialists in sports medicine and prominent celebrities. In addition, the leading companies Hexal and Sandoz have their headquarters in Holzkirchen.

The world in which the Corvette SR-2 was born was different from the world today.
Back in 1956, most of America's roads were still covered in dirt, there were only 168,903,031 people in the country (about 121 million less than in 2002), most families, if they had any cars at all, had only one, and Congress was still debating the Interstate Highway Act. No American had ever heard of Honda, Toyota, or Nissan, and Volkswagen's success was but a pinprick irritant to Detroit's Big Three. And in 1956 General Motors was the biggest, most successful company the world had ever seen. With annual sales of $13 billion, GM was twice the size of the second largest company, Standard Oil of New Jersey (predecessor of today's ExxonMobil).
Time magazine had in fact named Harlow H. Curtice, GM's 11th president, as Man of the Year for 1955, not because GM had grown even larger, but because he embodied a bold and robust, uniquely American capitalism. Curtice, though, couldn't possibly manage GM singly or autocratically. The company was just too big (bigger than most countries), and the division managers ran their fiefdoms with near autonomy. GM's executive ranks were filled with alpha-type males, constantly jockeying for the best jobs, most prestige and, on occasion, to build the best cars. The SR-2 was a product that reflected GM's arrogant, testosterone-rich, flush-with-success culture.
The Corvette entered its fourth model year with the '56, only its second with V-8 power, and its sports-car credentials had yet to be earned. But the '56 body styling was new and more aggressive. Zora Arkus-Duntov began working on the car, and Chevrolet Chief Engineer Ed Cole was determined to earn the world's respect for the Corvette.
Grandfather to the SR-2 was the modified '56 Corvette Duntov brought to Daytona Speedweeks in February 1956 along with essentially stock (though not thoroughly stock) Corvettes for John Fitch and Betty Skelton. Until then, the Corvette's competition career had been limited to say the least, and non-existent at the factory level.
Using bits and pieces that were either already or about to be available for the small-block V-8, Duntov had an engine making 240 hp for a preliminary run on the beach at Daytona in January. He managed a two-way average speed of 150.58 mph. In February, some reworked heads and a compression-ratio bump to 10.3:1 had the V-8s making 255 hp. Duntov's modified Corvette had a single-seat cockpit, a short windscreen, and even a faired-in head restraint; and it steamed to a thrilling 147.300 mph average speed over the sand. Fitch's '56 did 145.543 mph and Betty Skelton managed 137.773 mph. Most importantly during that competition, the best a Ford Thunderbird could do was just 134.404 mph. GM's appetite for Corvette glory was whetted.

Sci-fi high fashion
by chicquero
The theme of this Vice German editorial is appropriately science fiction. With a title Weltraumober that translates to "Space Top", it is only natural that space would be at the top of people's minds as they browse through it. From the futuristic fashion to the slew of neon lights, the photoshoot may very well inspire the wardrobe for the next big sci-fi flick. Shot by Elizaveta Porodina, a freelance photographer based in Munich, she relies heavily on vibrant motion, light […]

Sandra Bullock.
Sandra Bullock?
This astounding bit of news comes to us via New Orleans Magazines' piece entitled "Tops of the Town" in the recently released January 2011 issue. I have to tell you my mouth literally fell open as I whispered "WTF?!" Nothing against Ms. Bullock, mind you, but who voted for her and why did they choose her as the most admired woman in this city? Ok, I know she bought a house here (not her primary residence) a little over a year ago, adopted a child here, donated money to Warren Easton High School and that she participated in a television campaign for coastal restoration during the oil catastrophe in the Gulf but, excuse me, does that qualify her for this recognition? Are the readers of this magazine so ignorant about our local female achievers that they can't think of any other women in this city that deserve our admiration? Seriously? We have great, accomplished women who've lived here for years, if not their entire lifetimes, who've given their time and tears for their communities. Women who live here full-time and have invested their lives and work in this city. Where's the love for them?
I know there are plenty of local women busting their asses every day for their neighborhoods, their way of life and their city that most of us will never know about. To tell the world (well, you know what I mean) that a celebrity who lives here part-time is the most admired woman we have is a travesty, in my opinion.
What do you think? Who are some of the women in this city you admire?
I sat down and in ten minutes came up with a list of notable New Orleans women off the top of my head who are excellent ambassadors for our city and I know that there are many, many more out there that should be on this list. And if you don't know who these women are, click the links and get educated. In fact, click the links if you do know them and remind yourself what some of the really great women of our city have accomplished.

A simple, flat-roofed box sits as a modern version of a humble country idyll atop a hill on Patrick and Celia Murray's land. Eventually the Vancouver couple will build a much bigger house on their 85-acre retirement plot in Polk County, but in the meantime the two-bedroom, 840-square-foot cottage, which is almost ready for move-in, seems eminently livable. With its airy plan, gleaming finishes (such as maple cabinetry and bamboo floors), and tall windows overlooking valley vineyards, it's certainly more appealing than the standard temporary housing option: a single-wide.
Except that it is a single-wide. Note the 15-foot-wide floor plate and the steel chassis underpinning. Built on a factory assembly line and hauled on removable axles to its foundation, the Murrays' house—the brushed-nickel bathroom fixtures notwithstanding—is, by its rightful name, a manufactured home. Its creator, Salem entrepreneur Jim Russell, calls it the Ideabox.
The slick little Oregon-made house is an intriguing new entrant in the longtime quest to mass-produce haute-design prefab housing. In the first half of the 20th century, architects began dreaming of harnessing the power of factory production to create sleek, modern homes that working-class families could afford. But futuristic visions like Le Corbusier's cubelike 1914 Maison Domino and Buckminster Fuller's circular 1940s Dymaxion House never got far from the draft stage, doomed by conservative popular taste and (more so) by the architects' unfeasible production schemes. Instead, the prefab-housing industry bloomed under the leadership of profit-motivated home builders whose cheap, pseudo-traditional houses found a ready market—despite having all the visual grace of shoe boxes. By 2007, factory-built housing accounted for more than 10 percent of the single-family-housing market.
And that might have been the end of the story. But a few years ago, spurred, arguably, by advancements in design technology and a resurgent interest in midcentury-modern architecture, the image of the prefab home as an icon of stylish modern living re-emerged. Such design-minded magazines as Dwell and Sunset introduced their own models in 2005, and today the Dwell Home and the Sunset Breezehouse have been joined by the weeHouse, the Kithaus, the B-Line, the Skyline, and a seemingly endless stream of pithily named, architect-designed living spaces that can be assembled at a plant and delivered to your door. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City even mounted a show last summer to tout the past and future of prefab architecture, going as far as erecting five cutting-edge structures in its own courtyard.

The iPhone will allow many devices to be 'paired.' Just do one at a time. No issues.
I have multiple Bluetooth devices running at the same time while working out. Headphones, heart monitor and Nike Fuelband.
They all work at the same time. The heart monitor connects to the phone and the gym equipment without issue, at the same time. I have a lot going on.

Wyndham Washington Hotel, Washington, DCJanuary 31–February 1, 2005
Opening Comment by Thomas E. Feucht, Acting Assistant Director for Research and Evaluation, National Institute of Justice,
U.S. Department of Justice
Introduction and plan for the 1 ½ day workshop
Luncheon Presentation
Day 2
Thomas Feucht welcomed workshop attendees on behalf of the Director of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the cosponsoring
agency, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is an umbrella agency to a group of departments
with connected service areas, and Feucht noted that staffs are pleased when an issue falls across common missions. There has
not been enough research about victimization in the time period of predisposition (postarrest and prior to trial and/or sentencing).
Estimates of rearrest of defendants vary. NIJ wants to learn from the people who work day to day with the issues (police,
court professionals, victim advocates, researchers) in order to better uncover the various dimensions of the problem and promising
directions for programs and research.
NIJ brought this attendee group together to examine strategies, policies and principles currently in place and focus directions
for research. The topic is large and varied; Dr. Feucht asked participants to trade ideas and insight in order to try to keep
victims safer in the predisposition period. The Institute is interested in long- and short-term answers that may help people
wrestling with daily problems in this area. He encouraged a candid conversation to bring out a broad sense of the issues and
to indicate a few good, testable research questions.
Back to Top
Mr. Kennedy, moderator for the meeting, led mutual introductions among participants. Persons attending the meeting filled
a broad spectrum of profiles:
Mr. Kennedy described a brief review he conducted of pretrial services data in DC. The District's pretrial services agency
has automated data sources, good demographic information, and data for assessing the need for substance abuse treatment. Data
from neighboring jurisdictions (Prince George's County, Montgomery County) are usually available. Police identification numbers
may allow connections for certain individuals, but databases are kept separately due to rules of confidentiality. The separate
databases refer to the following: the pretrial services agency database, the U.S. Attorney's database, the court database,
the jail database, and the Metropolitan Police Department database. Social and criminal history information is usually available
for released defendants.
In his review of pretrial services records, Mr. Kennedy asked whether domestic violence (DV) offenders in DC were rearrested
sooner than other kinds of defendants, in particular during the period of pretrial supervision. Based on data from October
2003 to September 2004, people with DV charges were rearrested more quickly. Mr. Kennedy cautioned that the findings should
be regarded as "only a snapshot" in a short-term review, not a trend analysis. Records in DC concerning DV-charged defendants
in that timeframe revealed:
There is a special unit in the jurisdiction for defendants with mental health problems, and of these type of offenders, a
larger percentage than expected have been involved in domestic violence. Mr. Kennedy noted that alcohol and substance abuse
in connection with domestic violence "is off the charts" (very high). Pretrial services in DC has authority to test for drug
and alcohol use during pretrial and probation. About 47 percent of arrested defendants test positive for drug use, even higher
when the question's response includes "positive at some time during supervision."
In presenting this information, Mr. Kennedy's main points were that DC has certain advantages in providing information on
domestic violence cases. These include: (1) special statutes identifying offenses as being DV offenses; (2) a comprehensive
database of offense categories, defendant characteristics, and court events; and (3) the ability to generate statistical reports.
He also mentioned some flaws or shortcomings of DC as far as measuring revictimization: (1) unless the offense is a DV-specific
offense, it is impossible to discern (and hence measure) if an assault or a property crime or any other crime involved a DV-related
victim and defendant; and (2) the pretrial services database is not integrated with other criminal justice agency databases
although there is some access to those databases. Another flaw, which is not specific to DV, is that only new arrests are
Participants discussed other experiences with rearrest statistics. Predisposition rearrest information from DC was provided
as an example: It was known that 4 percent of persons who are arrested for a DV offense and get out on release are arrested
for a new DV offense. This of course does not answer the question of whether non-DV offenses were nonetheless DV-related (e.g.,
property and drug offenses). Definitions of the arrest charge vary and are sometimes unclear. For example, DC has a charge
defined as "violation of condition of release," which may or may not relate to an additional domestic violence charge. People
were interested in finding misconduct that is "predictive" of rearrest and whether cases relating to domestic violence remain
in the system for a shorter time.
Among defendants rearrested in DC, about one-third involved arrests relating to new domestic violence charges, such as assault,
violation of a civil protection order (PO), attempted threat, or destruction of property. According to information from the
Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office, the rearrests mostly happened in a short time frame. In addition,
37.8 percent of felony arrests involved drug possession or distribution charges and 35.8 percent of the cases listed "assault"
as the top charge.
Several people asked about the victims' influence or input to the justice system and whether victim information was recorded
and used in handling the offender. One man asked if "victims' laws" were applied to domestic violence cases or whether prosecutors
tended to overlook that. There may be homicides (or other crimes) that relate to domestic violence charges, but that is not
recorded in a clear way. It is a significant gap in "the filing process" to leave out victims' information. Some speakers
felt that victim interviewing was beginning to occur more often. One participant, a public defender, noted that cases are
sometimes "overcharged" and then changed. For example, a person brought in under felony charges might have the charge downgraded.
(However, this may or may not be an example of overcharging. Downgrading is often used as a device of plea bargaining.) Mr.
Kennedy noted that, in DC, "new person crimes," which are recorded in a rearrest, do not necessarily include victim information.
Annually, in about 20 to 23 percent of DC domestic violence cases, U.S. Attorneys decide to "no-paper" the charges, in which
case the defendant may leave on the same day.
NIJ staff suggested that the discussants turn to issues that will help researchers to understand the extent of the problem
in a variety of jurisdictions, not only DC. Another participant noted that a recent risk assessment study showed (by self-report)
that 31 percent of women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) have been reassaulted. This is four or five times
higher than official survey statistics. (This statement does not address other jurisdictions but it does address the fact
that "rearrest" information is only one measure or definition of revictimization. Obviously another definition is actual "reoffenses,"
which cannot be measured by rearrest statistics but rather by other means, such as self-reports.) In response to NIJ's suggestion,
participants commented on the issue of what constitutes a domestic violence offense. It was pointed out that cases of homicide
increasingly involve offenders who had no prior contact with the criminal justice system. In addition, there may be other
kinds of offenses (theft, vandalism) that actually relate to domestic violence.
One participant emphasized the quality of first response to a victim. If this response is not good (from the part of police,
advocates, or the judge), then the victim will not turn again to the system for protection against victimization. Another
speaker, who was a prosecutor, noted that failure to include victims' information during the filing process is "a big gap
in service." During the process of securing a protective order or anywhere else that the victim first contacts criminal justice
actors, quality of response makes an impact. A participant mentioned that cross-jurisdictional treatment has been extremely
varied. These have different dynamics and should be broken out to consider what "access points" to the criminal justice system
play a role (there is some contact related to offending which is not yet an "arrest") for different kinds of victims (elder
abuse, child victim, etc.). There may be significant differences between urban and rural jurisdictions. The participant from
the judiciary asked about research to uncover information on "victims who choose to stay away"; what acts occur in the justice
system (court, probation, police officers, etc.) to discourage victims from further contact or participation in programs?
Participants discussed definitions of victimization and family violence that took forms other than between intimate partners.
Definitions of victimization must be carefully framed. Stalking, telephone threats from a jail, even flowers sent to a workplace
(from a batterer) could be forms of victimization. One participant noted the need to augment many existing databases with
supplemental interviewing. Additions could include, for example, how often the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
has been involved in cases of revictimization. Many administrations are experiencing shrinking budgets, sometimes after spending
millions on programs that "do not work" according to research. Cost-benefit analysis could show at the front end what financial
and public safety costs are involved in revictimization and its impact on children and families.
Participants continued to raise issues that reflected the challenge in obtaining a clear understanding of the problem of predisposition
revictimization. A participant asked at what point do reoffenses come to the attention of the criminal justice system? Are
child custody circumstances bringing the victim into contact with the perpetrator? To what extent do subsequent arrests happen
when victims and offenders have been together again (are they usually married when this happens)? Interviewing persons who
have been victimized is often very difficult. In telephone interviews involving the National Crime Victim Survey (NCVS), about
26 percent of women who were victimized said that they never reported the incident. In this survey, performed primarily by
telephone (2/3 of all respondents), about 30 percent of those who were victimized by their intimate partners also said they
were repeat victims. Rearrest does not seem to be a sufficient indicator of the extent of predisposition revictimization,
although it is the most readily accessible data source, but locating and contacting victims has many obstacles including confidentiality
requirements. Attendees discussed female perpetrators of domestic violence and abused women who are in the criminal justice
system. Most women (78 percent) who have been incarcerated for committing domestic violence feel that they have themselves
been abused by their partners. Participants who were from the corrections field said that they often use "victims' manuals"
to determine how to assess service needs for such women. Another participant recommended considering the dimensions of racial
and cultural norms in the patterns of violence. In definitions of "victimization," is a woman who has been "pulled into the
system" for her own reaction no longer a victim? What kind of treatment should be offered to her? Many cross-connections exist
to drug dependency, mental health problems, or alcohol dependence. Participants noted that research would benefit from taking
a closer look at the connection between the civil and criminal court processes. Do protection orders from the civil system
show up in or affect the criminal process? What "early release" policies work best to protect victims and their children?
On the offenders' side, less than 20 percent of defendants are willing to come back and talk about what is effective (for
breaking a pattern of abuse). Definitions of violence are also disputed ("push," "shove," "slap," etc.) How can mixed perceptions
of what constitutes violence be resolved in order to reduce victimization? There is concern that the criminal justice system
is discouraging repeat victims from coming to get help. Is the arrestee a batterer, or a batterer and victim? A representative
from the victims' advocacy community said that 40 to 50 percent of abused women return repeatedly to the shelter because when
they go home, they are victimized again. Women often do not want to report this; the man may be the sole provider, and there
is fear that there will be bad consequences for the children. There are many implications for the juvenile justice system
as well. Research has shown that kids charged with violent crime often had a much higher exposure to violence in the home.
Dr. Juszkiewicz noted that statistics can shed light on this complex topic and that the justice system has come a long way
in a short time relative to domestic violence. Large statistical systems, though limited, serve as beacons to find the best
research methodology for analyzing key problems and challenges. However, people must ask the right questions and look for
real-world measures that are practical, which apply to chosen operational definitions and terms, such as "rearrest," "violence,"
and "revictimization."
She spoke about the difficulties of resolving records problems arising in various jurisdictions. Unlike electronic databases
that can store virtually an infinite amount of information, if one must resort to paper files there are some obstacles that
must be overcome. The foremost issue is access. In some jurisdictions, such as Cook County, Illinois (the Chicago metropolitan
area) where the volume of cases is great, prosecutor offices resort to shredding much of the information, so timing of research
is of the essence. (Chicago is part of Cook County but there are many other municipalities besides Chicago that are part of
Cook County.) For example, in Cook County, the courts have more than 50,000 misdemeanor cases each month connected to domestic
violence. In other jurisdictions, like New York State, a case defined as a "nonconviction" is legally sealed within 5 days
and primary data are no longer available. So research planners have to sort out available information in view of confidentiality
rules and carefully examine how operations are defined and interpreted.
If revictimization is defined as persons "again falling victim to their aggressor" during the predisposition time period,
the search through law enforcement records for evidence of such an event remains complex. Even if one wanted to continue to
rely on arrest information, which is clearly not the best measure of reoffense, there remain certain issues. If one seeks
detailed information about an arrest, relying on law enforcement records may prove daunting. For example, one county may have
more than 40 law enforcement agencies. Resorting to other sources of information may not be much of an improvement. For example,
State criminal history repositories often have missing information and by the nature of their mandate do not collect what
is considered by the DV researcher to be valuable information. Location of records generally depends on whether the offense
was classed as a felony or misdemeanor. Felonies, for example, are bound over to central court. Logs from 911 calls are not
easily used (this example was given as an alternative measure to arrests, namely reported incidents), prosecutors' "charge
papers" do not match geographic descriptors used by county administration or the police, and often there is no knowledge in
the neighborhood of the violent character of the offender-victim relationship.
The pilot project attempts to establish the local broad-based need relative to the problem of revictimization in the predisposition
time frame. Access to open cases has not been allowed, so the project uses a huge paper-record storage facility, Iron Mountain.
Access to open files for research purposes is limited, sometimes not available at all. On the other hand, there may be problems
with closed files. In some instances, closed cases are sent to a storage facility offsite. For example, in this pilot project,
Iron Mountain is a company that was used to store files offsite for a rental fee. Access to these files is sometimes problematic
because it may take a long time for the storage company to find the appropriate file; there may be a cost involved. Among
26 jurisdictions that agreed and have been screened for participation, the study is using "incident-based" key questions to
connect information. The study entails collecting two types of information, incident-based information and case processing
information. These two types of information will be connected to show how a particular incident became a case and the outcome
of the case. Finally, 16 jurisdictions were chosen in 8 different States (Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas). Definitions in the study have been compiled from varied statutes driving the procedures in these
places, with some adjustments. (The study used an overarching definition of domestic violence so that all the disparate definitions
would be captured by the study.) For example, the research project wants to consider violence in a "dating relationship" as
a domestic offense, but some jurisdictions have not supported this definition. Sometimes a charge of "property damage" could
actually be intimidation, depending on the domestic context of the offense.
Special populations, such as the aged or handicapped, were also discussed. One difficult dimension of the pilot project has
been finding special populations to include them in the study. Even where a local jurisdiction has a dedicated domestic violence
prosecution unit, many things are not defined similarly between jurisdictions. That is, a DV prosecution unit in one jurisdiction
may handle different cases than a DV unit in another jurisdiction. For example, in one jurisdiction the DV unit may handle
only cases involving intimate partner offenses, whereas a DV unit in another jurisdiction handles cases involving all family
members who are related by blood or marriage. Examples were given of some jurisdictions where there was a DV unit, a child
abuse unit, and an elder abuse unit. For the pilot study the research had to identify all of the DV cases defined broadly
to include offenses involving persons who are related through blood, marriage, or affinity. To do so, all of the DV unit cases
would be studied, as well as those child abuse and elder abuse cases that involved persons who were related as defined above.
The difficulty is that the child abuse and elder abuse units handle all child abuse and elder abuse cases, not only those
cases involving related individuals.
In conclusion, Ms. Juszkiewicz emphasized investing significant project resources in careful planning (as much as 60 percent).
In such a difficult undertaking, research can shed light on key questions, but the researchers need to go out to the various
people and programs in specific locales for a complete understanding of the terms, processes, and procedures used in identifying,
tracking, prosecuting, and adjudicating DV cases.
One participant noted that, throughout the variety of settings in which a response to predisposition violence may be needed,
the demographics of the offender must also be kept under consideration. There can be mental health diagnoses such as posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), other ethnic influences, and immigration consequences (for family members or the offender). Gathering
data for a better response involves cooperative design among different agencies at local, State, and Federal levels.
The victim's view of the relationship and perspective on the criminal justice system should be clarified. How do they view
the system's first responses, the reoffending person, or the effect of protection orders? How many "actors" in the justice
system have come in contact with the victim? Mr. Kennedy asked the group whether agencies that were responsible for diagnostics
during the predisposition time period keep or have access to background data on the offender. Could this uncover a need for
monitoring or a stay-away order? Only a few jurisdictions represented at the meeting said that they had this kind of casework.
The judge at the meeting noted that many jurisdictions are cautious about defendants' rights and prefer to keep only cryptic
information concerning an offender prior to any conviction. Mr. Kennedy noted that a significant number of offenders in the
DC jurisdiction have less supervision after they are sentenced than they had during pretrial.
Several people spoke about law enforcement's role relative to victims. An advocates' group representative demonstrated some
of the "tools" they give officers during rollcall training in order to prepare them to brief domestic violence victims concerning
safety for themselves, counseling, and leaving an abusive relationship. Police officers are a good source of information concerning
victims to whom they have responded. "Being trained" on domestic violence topics is not the same thing as applying what they
have heard. They often need to apply what they have learned in such training. Sometimes officers use discretion to call domestic
disputes "disorderly conduct" to avoid mandatory arrest requirements.
A State police representative noted that law enforcement training budgets have decreased in almost all areas. There are many
catches on Federal spending, but agencies do recognize the need for greater focus on domestic and youth violence. The participant
from Michigan noted that police in his area do mini-risk assessments in connection with recommendations for bond or bail.
This has been very successful. Also, he suggested looking to shelters for information about women who have been revictimized.
The shelters generally offer safety planning and help women with court hearings, although information on specific individuals
is confidential.
Mr. Kennedy asked the group: What happens when bond has been paid? Participants responded that money is no guarantee that
behavior will be controlled. Nonprofit or advocacy organizations might have some answers for this question. Many victims call
jails or prosecutors to find help. They may have no place to go during the predisposition time period. Organizations would
benefit from having the needed information ready and knowing what to tell a victim.
Drug testing of offenders provides a lot of opportunities for supervision. Should victims be alerted if the offender or probationer
fails to show up at treatment? Mr. Kennedy said that the DC pretrial program allows increase of bail, assignment to a judicial
oversight program, drug monitoring, or other measures if the risk is considered to warrant the action.
Several people noted the need for research on the use and effectiveness of protection orders. Some areas enforce "no-contact
orders" very seriously, with civil penalties, increased cash bail, or house arrest. Other areas have had conflicts of interest
in bail-bond decisions or failure to communicate thoroughly with the offender about the meaning of the order. Perpetrators
have to understand the meaning of the restraining order and receive information on services that are available to them. An
attendee from Dallas said their agency has a team for responding to PO violators (Violation of Emergency Protective Order),
and team members perform random checks. When the subject is out, they ask if he has returned or contacted the victim. Officers
can issue an arrest warrant if the "no-contact order" is violated. This option is valuable in cases where the victim is too
intimidated to call.
Though some thought that the day-to-day response of law enforcement to victims of domestic violence was not adequate to ensure
victim safety, other areas (Los Angeles law enforcement agencies were cited) would go so far as to sometimes help an abused
woman move if necessary. Most speakers agreed that a broader civil system of support was needed. Coercive power from the court
can sometimes be used creatively to drive participation of other social partners. Another speaker noted that the woman's wishes
must remain part of balancing the prosecution goals for holding offenders accountable and victims' needs. Her participation
in decisions is critical. Women have been arrested for violating their own "stay away" orders, for example when children's
custody is involved.
The group discussed circumstances of sexual assault by strangers and trafficking in persons across State lines for prostitution.
How should this kind of criminal activity be "upgraded" to reflect victimization events that occur in that context? Many women
who are in the criminal justice system have been abused and then fall into a series of increasing criminal activity (such
as bad check writing, drug or alcohol abuse, theft). The partner who originally abused the woman might be continuing to cause
intimidation by appearing at court hearings or threatening witnesses.
In defining victimization, stalking, technology-aided stalking, and identity theft should be considered among forms of intimidation.
Some kinds of intimidation are very difficult to note (such as phone calls made from a jail by the offender). One participant
quoted disturbing results from a national women's study, saying that threat or intimidation often causes a woman to drop sexual
assault charges. Additionally, even the recognition of an act as "sexual assault" may depend on very specific descriptions
of particular acts against the person's will. Research needs to look into the overlap with the child abuse and neglect field.
Cases of incest have grown alarmingly in one participant's jurisdiction. Sometimes a woman is trying to get children out of
abusive situations. In another scenario, women may come across State lines when they have been told about "modeling jobs"
and then have few resources for help in circumstances of sexual coercion or other abuse. An attendee noted that battered women
have been charged with parental kidnapping at an increased rate. Immigration concerns might play a role.
Sexual abuse at campuses and universities warrants more study. A University of Kentucky study indicated that about one out
of four women on campuses reported being raped by "someone they knew." Rape continues to be underreported at most institutions,
although the Cleary Act has mandated standardized training (widely implemented) against sexual assault and abuse. Another
disturbing trend is the growing number of intimate homicides by perpetrators who have had no previous contact with the criminal
justice system at all. Neither have they had any contact with related court or social agencies. Is the profile of domestic
violence-related homicides changing? Speakers noted that at least half of this kind of homicide occurred with criminals who
had no prior crime history or only some record of "small crimes."
One person asked about law enforcement's postarrest role during the predisposition period. One person noted that simply documenting
the danger and pointing the victim to available resources might be the best response. Officers often do things informally,
such as revisiting the neighbors or contacting community-based advocates. Another person mentioned offenders coming out of
batterers' programs need to "leave with something" that will convince them to apply what they have learned in treatment. This
might mean tools that influence "how they define themselves," to inhibit further abuse. One man, experienced with children's
issues in courts, said that innovative partnership programs, perhaps faith-based, are needed to deal with offenders and motivate
them to choose to apply what they have learned on behavior changes. For example, the Dorchester program (Massachusetts) on
fatherhood, bringing the child's perspective to the offender, has helped people understand the impact of their conduct.
One person suggested research on civil restraining orders and child protective orders; data may be captured from those sources,
which would support more coordinated response to members of the same family. The judge noted that general attitudes in a community
are often reflected by the way the bench handles cases. A number of people supported the idea of gathering information on
services outside the criminal justice programs that enhance victim safety and reduce reoffending. This could include activities
such as programs that put advocates in shelters or other places where victims go (animal shelters temporarily helping their
pets, for example). It could focus on education about the social context of domestic violence. Criminal justice system responses
must reflect an effort to help, rather than actions that are "revictimizing." Several people emphasized recording the victim's
Faith-based assistance or nonprofit organizations that help immigrants may reach young foreign-born women better. Immigrants
who do not trust the (government) criminal justice system will not report abuse. Families may need to be educated and talk
together about power and control issues, in a different way. An inexpensive place such as a community center, which has affiliated
groups such as Al-Anon and health programs, could fill this role and allow family members to be together in a place where
violence cannot occur. Women who have enrolled in detoxification centers for help with substance abuse problems might be available
for cross training or information relative to domestic violence. Outreach should also extend to workplaces. Employee assistance
services can promote (for example) tolerance for missing some work in order to leave an abusive relationship.
A majority of revictimization cases relate to custody issues. [Civil] family courts have information on custody and visitation,
which can be valuable for framing strategies to stop violence. People of all educational levels have been recorded with problems
of violence in the home. Thorough approaches, which address "mindset," are necessary to success. Dorchester's "Close to Home"
project uses focus groups among neighbors, friends, and block policing volunteers to help women go to court and leave domestic
abusers. In a Chicago educational program discussed by attendees, about 1,500 people came together on one weekend. Another
good educational program targets middle school boys with information and training on gender and conflict resolution. Community
"witness" programs have been helpful to encourage men who are completing batterers' treatment. The community supports the
man's pledge and works out definitions of accountability. Community or volunteer meetings reduce "denial" about domestic violence
and can be a source of knowledge. One dentists' program mentioned by participants encourages reporting of suspect events,
such as a woman who has had teeth knocked out.
NIJ staff returned to particular questions:
Through their partnership, NIJ and OVW want to particularly examine this "predisposition" time-phase to identify gaps in service
for victims. OVW discretionary projects reach out to victims during both pretrial and probation periods, follow-up on police
reports, and help to link victims to social services. The agency explores what people are successfully finding in the research,
and Ms. Kelley noted that staff want to look beyond the justice system as well to use creative community solutions for diverse
clients. The leadership looks to research for options and knowledge concerning assessment, monitoring strategies, batterer
accountability, and survivor assistance.
Small groups at the conference worked together to assemble key questions for Federal research. NIJ directed the group to frame
the discussion into several general areas for research planning:
The breakout session speakers noted that very many ideas had circulated. Participants thought that getting numerical data
for rigorous research might often be a problem. However, rigorous research in multiple jurisdictions would give the Federal
sponsor agencies a sense of policies and practices that bear on revictimization during the predisposition period. They discussed
and considered the following priority areas for research:

no, but the nike website has said that if you need the LED lighting to be brighter, they recommend you get the ice than the black. they technically are of the same brightness but to the eye, it seems brighter.

A big dual coming up this weekend in Stillwater. If Rosholt is still not back, that could make the difference. If Rosholt is in the line-up I would see OSU as small, but clear favorites. Without him it's pretty close to a toss-up. Here are my picks. How do you see it?
125 #1 McDonough vs UR Klimara McD TF 5-0 Iowa
133 #2 Ramos vs #5 Morrison Ramos Dec 8-0 (Morrison is looking very good, but Ramos is looking better)
141 #10 Ballweg vs UR Feikert Ballweg Dec 11-0 (although Feikert could surprise here; not picking it)
149 UR Kelly vs #1 Oliver Oliver TF 11-5
157 #1 DSJ vs #9 Dieringer DSJ Dec 14-5
165 #18 Moore vs #3 Caldwell Caldwell Dec 14-8 (would like to pick MD, but Caldwell just isn't that aggressive)
174 #4 Evans vs #1 Perry Perry Dec 14-11 (this should be the bout of the night)
184 #10 Lofthouse vs #15 Chionuma Chio Dec 14-14 (my upset pick; only I'm not sure it's an upset)
197 UR Burak vs UR Schafer Burak Dec 17-14 (not having Rosholt, if that's the case, really hurts OSU)
Hwt #7 Telford vs #3 Gelogaev Gelogaev MD 17-18 OSU (Gelogaev hasn't looked quite as awesome as last year, but I believe he'll get it done here, as Telford hasn't looked as good either)

While the new Z06, with its 505hp LS7 engine, may be a relative bargain-that is, if you're also shopping cars with the label "Built in Maranello"-it doesn't automatically fit the budget of every Corvette-performance junkie. Indeed, with a base price of $65,690, the '06 Z06 commands an approximately $21,000 premium over the standard, LS2-powered Vette.
The gulf in sticker prices may be wide, but closing the gap in performance isn't as daunting. Pick up any Corvette parts-and-accessories catalog and you'll find a seemingly endless list of bolt-on products designed to boost power. But bolt-ons will make only modest changes, at best. To really affect the output of an engine, you've got to fundamentally change its capacity to ingest and digest air. And since cylinder heads are basically the lungs of an engine, they are generally the most effective way to elicit a dramatic increase in horsepower.
But just as an engine is analogous to a human heart, simply bolting on new cylinder heads doesn't necessarily provide better performance-just as buying a set of new running shoes won't automatically lower your blood pressure. Freer-breathing heads are only effective when complemented with a systematic approach to the engine's breathing-including a camshaft with sufficient lift and duration specifications, which will open long enough to allow the combustion chambers to draw in the greater quantity of air the heads can flow.
The entry and exit points of the engine's breathing must also be expressed, because the heads' flow capability is only as good as the amount of air they can draw from the intake manifold. Similarly, the extra air drawn into the engine produces a greater quantity of exhaust gases, so an upgraded exhaust is warranted, too.
When it comes to figuring out the best combination of aftermarket heads, intake, camshaft, and exhaust, you could either go back to school and earn that engineering degree or turn to someone who has already figured it all out. The latter choice was the path Tampa resident Robin Wahler chose when seeking to increase the horsepower of his red, automatic-equipped C6. He took the car to Tampa's Rev Xtreme tuning shop for a holistic approach to increasing the output of his Vette's heart.
Rev Xtreme has put together a head-and-cam package for LS2 owners seeking Z06-like performance. The basic recipe includes a set of ET Performance 215 cylinder heads with 58cc combustion chambers, a Comp Cams camshaft with 0.581/0.588 lift andand other bolt-ons. 224/228 duration, a modified FAST intake manifold, LG Motorsports long-tube headers,
"It's a great combination of parts because there are no compromises in engineering, performance, or driveability," said Rev Xtreme's Dino Clark. "For someone who's looking for a car that operates and drives mostly like a stock Corvette, but with a ton more power, it's the way to go."
With the new parts and requisite tuning, output on the red Vette jumped from its baseline of 311 rear-wheel horsepower (rwhp) to 443 rwhp-an increase of about 43 percent. Depending on the drivetrain-parasitic-loss factor you use, which is generally more through an automatic transmission, the increase in horsepower puts flywheel output on par with the Z06. That's none too shabby for about $5,000 in parts, installation, and tuning charges.
The way we figure it, Wahler's Vette has attained Z06 performance for a quarter of the cost difference between it and the standard C6's base price. This is daily drivable, normally aspirated horsepower that doesn't have an adverse effect on driveability or comfort. And with its stock appearance, this little red Corvette is sure to surprise more than a few stoplight warriors.
The Heads
Rev Xtreme's package is built around ET Performance's 215 LS1 cylinder heads. The 215 designation refers to the 215cc intake ports. The LS2's stock heads have 210cc intake ports-remember, they're from the previous LS6 engine, not the LS1, which had 200cc ports. ET Performance CNC-ports the heads, carving out the larger flow path the company says flows 301 cfm at 0.500 inch of valve lift. Exhaust flow at 0.500 is 204 cfm, giving the heads a healthy exhaust-to-intake flow ratio of 69 percent.
The heads are all-new castings with thicker-than-stock decks and valve angles rolled back to 11 degrees. Also, the valves are moved closer to the center of the cylinder bore to unshroud them. And while 5 cc doesn't seem like a large increase, it's enough to increase flow by approximately 14 percent over stock. That's a 14-percent flow increase in all eight cylinders-a significant gain for an engine with unchanged displacement.
The heads on Wahler's engine also boast 58cc combustion chambers, which are 6.5 cc smaller than the stock LS2's 64.55cc chambers. This effectively gives the engine slightly higher compression, but with careful tuning and a strict adherence to premium fuel, detonation isn't a problem. The heads also have the stock-size 2.00/1.55-inch valves. The heads retail for about $2,400; a pretty good value, if you ask us.

Regular meetups are held in the bay area – see the Facebook page and the Meetup.com page. There is also a New York meetup group (see the Facebook page) and more coming soon.
If you'd like to start a new meetup group, please sign up as a seasteading ambassador and contact us.
June 2012
The Seasteading Institute will be attending this year's Ephemerisle.
Ephemerisle is a floating festival on the Sacramento Delta originally started by The Seasteading Institute, and now crowd-sourced and community operated independently of the Institute. Last year 300-400 people passed through the festival over the course of the weekend. Participants are encouraged to "bring their own land," which means arrive on a houseboat, sailboat, raft, or other structure that provides a floating home for the course of the event. We hope attendees of The Seasteading Conference will spend the following weekend with us celebrating in a temporary floating village. More information about how to participate can be found on Ephemerisle's Wiki page and Facebook pages.

I just got back into figures collecting and primarily I do monsters and spawn stuff but I also love Marvel comics a lot.
Looking at different lines, I am a little confused. Marvel select, marvel universe, marvel legends.... My head is spinning.
I like to collect 6 inch figures or close to that, I don't like the small ones. I also would like to have 1 spiderman, 1 iron-man and so on beside for specific variants (Like black costume for spiderman), what I mean is I don't need 72 spiderman figures!!!
I know that some rare figures will be available only by a line at a certain time and that's it, but for popular figures how shall I collect?
Thanks a lot

How to share
If you want to send a file or folder to someone so that they can view, edit, or comment on it, you can share it with them directly in Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides, or through a link or email attachment.
Anyone you share the file or folder with will see changes made as they happen so that everyone can be on the same page and you can get feedback quickly.How to share with others (2:32)
In this video, you'll learn how to share your files with individual people and with groups, and how to choose what others can do with a file.
Share a file or folder
You can share a file or folder in Google Drive or in the Docs, Sheets, and Slides home screens.
- Open Drive, or a file or folder you want to share.
- Open the sharing box:
- While you have a file open: Click Share in the top-right corner.
- While you have a folder open: Click the share icon in the top-right .
- From your file list in Drive: Select the name of a file or folder and click the share icon at the top .
- Under "People" in the sharing box, type the email addresses of the people or Google Groups you want to share with. You can also search for contacts by typing them into the box.
- Choose the type of access you want to give these users by clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the text box:
- Can edit: Users can edit the file or folder and share it with others
- Can comment: Users can view and add comments to the file, but can't edit it. Folders can't be given comment access.
- Can view: Users can see the file or folder but can't edit or comment on it
- Click Done. The users will receive an email letting them know you've shared the file or folder with them.
Share lots of files at once
If you want to share multiple files at once, add the files to a folder in Drive and then share the entire folder with the people you want to see the files.
Other ways to shareShare a link to a file or a folder
To give other people access to a file or folder, you can send them a link to open and access the item.
- Sign in to Google Drive or a Docs, Sheets, or Slides home screen.
- Open the file you want to get a link for.
- Click Share for files or the share icon for folders in the top-right corner of the screen .
- Click Get shareable link in the top-right corner of the sharing box. A link to the file will be copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the link into an email or chat to share it.
- To stop allowing people to access the file using the link, open the sharing box > click the dropdown menu below "Link sharing on" > choose OFF > click Done.
By default, the link you share will be view only for others. To allow people with the link to comment on or edit the file, click the dropdown menu under "Link sharing on" and change the setting from "People with the link can view" to "People with the link can comment (or can edit)".
If you're editing an Office file in Google Drive, you can quickly share the file, as well as edit it with others, by saving the file to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
- Open the Office file.
- Click the File menu.
- Choose Save to Google Docs (or Google Sheets/Google Slides).
- A window will appear letting you know that the Office file is saving as a new Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides file. When the file is done saving, the new version will open automatically.
Once your new file is open, you can follow the steps above (in "Share a file or folder") to share your file and begin working with others. Note that updates made to the new file will not carry over to the original Office file, which will remain untouched in Google Drive.
While you can email the link to a file just by sharing it in Drive, Docs, Sheets, or Slides, you can also send the file as an email attachment.
- Sign in to Google Drive or a Docs, Sheets, or Slides home screen.
- Open the file you'd like to share.
- Go to the File menu > Email as attachment.
- Select a file type from the drop-down menu.
- Enter the email addresses of the people you want to send the file to. You can also add a subject and a message.
- Click Send.

2006 Notable Nurse Awards
"As a former California Highway Patrol Officer, I have had the opportunity to meet more nurses than most people, and I have a deep appreciation for what they do," explained Assemblyman John Benoit. "There are so many ways this profession touches the lives of so many people."
Louise White, Chief Nursing Officer at Eisenhower, was pleased with the recognition for nurses. "Nurses are at the center of health care and are leaders in our community. They are also the trainers for the next generation of nurses."
