Learn to Race as a Team -- deadline Feb 27th
The Tri-Flow Women's Development Racing Program is a new training & racing program for women in the bay area. This six-week, coached program is targeted to women who want to race as part of a small team for a specific event. Twice-weekly trainings focus on skills and tactical development, group riding, and race fitness.
Our second racing development program for 2006, focusing on the Wente Road Race on April 22nd will begin on March 13th. The registration deadline for this program is February 27th and there are still spots available.
Who should register? Any woman who wants to improve skills, learn tactics, and explore team racing -- new racers, unattached racers, triathletes, advanced recreational riders.
Our first program will wrap up next week at the Snelling Road Race. A huge success, here's what our participants have to say:
"The Tri-Flow program has been a great complement to my training regimen. The skills we have practiced have gone a long way to making race-pace pack-riding much more comfortable. In addition to that, the discussions and practice of tactical and strategic maneuvering have helped me gain confidence and also identify strengths and abilities relative to different types of courses. The focus is very different from most clinics in that it covers much more than just basic skills, we also learn how to read a course in advance, select good lines, get ideas for (tactics), etc. It has also been great fun to learn how to work together as a small team. "
"Lorri's Tri-Flow program delivers organization, training and real results. If you want to start racing there isn't a better program around."

I've been using Wolfram for converting times between time zones. It really works like a charm, it automatically interprets timezone short notations, find time zones of countries, converts between time zones and does it all in 1 single line ! I'm really impressed by (read: I'm in love with) this.
Example "10 pm CST in france" works like a charm.
However, here in certain parts of Europe we use the so called '24 hour clock'. When typing '24 hours notation' behind the previous line however, it won't work.
Is there a way in wolfram to convert am/pm to 24 hour notation ? More specific, while converting time zones ?
Since I use wolfram only for timezone conversion, I'd like to add some things that could be improved ^^
1) A world map with the time zones from and to you are converting highlighted. I don't know where in the world CST is, but if there was a map I wouldn't have to look that up in a separate google search anymore.
2) An option to the command line to convert time to 24 hour notation (if it doesn't exists)
The whole world (but US, UK, Canada, ...) will be thankful
3) Eventually, the official time zone difference (.., +3 , +2 , +1, 0, -1, -2, -3 ...) This could be implemented in the world map.
4) The time difference between the time zone you are converting from and the one you are converting to
Thanks for reading, hopefully I get an answer to my question, are the suggestions a bit helpful and may they get implemented ! ^^

Steve Ellis, who spent his first two years as cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator for the Blue Raiders, was elevated to defensive coordinator in January 2011. Ellis, who will have the title of co-defensive coordinator in 2012, will also remain as the cornerbacks coach for the defense.
In 2010, Ellis produced a First Team All-Conference selection in Rod Issac and helped the defense lead the league in pass defense for a second consecutive season. Starters Issac and Arness Ikner accounted for four interceptions and 10 pass breakups, and Issac scored twice. Issac was also taken in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Ellis' special teams were solid once again (with six blocked kicks) and produced First Team All-Conference picks in placekicker Alan Gendreau and punter Josh Davis.
In 2009, Ellis' cornerbacks had 152 tackles, nine interceptions, 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and 21 pass breakups on their way to leading the Sun Belt Conference in pass defense and interceptions. Seniors Marcus Udell and Alex Suber were tabbed First Team All-Conference as Udell led the league with seven interceptions and Suber had 12 pass breakups while ranking 28th nationally in passes defended.
His special teams blocked eight kicks, hit 18 of 22 field goal attempts, had 1,119 yards in kick returns, downed 22 punts inside the 20-yard line, and had seven punts of 50 yards or more. Sophomore placekicker Alan Gendreau earned First Team All-Conference honors.
Ellis made his way to Murfreesboro after serving the previous six seasons at Nicholls State, where he was the defensive coordinator his final three years. Ellis, who also served as the team's pro liaison and supervised academic progress, was the team's safeties coach in 2003 before taking over the linebackers in 2004 and 2005.
The Stringer, Miss., native became one of the youngest defensive coordinators in the country when he was named to the position prior to spring drills in 2006. He guided the Colonels to conference best marks in scoring defense and pass defense, and Nicholls finished the 2006 season ranked 19th nationally in total defense.
In 2007, Ellis' unit led the Southland Conference in total defense, pass defense, and interceptions and was second in scoring defense. Overall, NSU ranked 33rd nationally in total defense.
In six seasons at Nicholls State, Ellis' players won seven First Team All-Conference honors, four National Player of the Week awards, three All-American honors, and two conference Newcomer of the Year awards and garnered a defensive player of the year accolade.
During the summer of 2008, Ellis participated in the NFL Coaches Fellowship Program with the Pittsburgh Steelers under Head Coach Mike Tomlin. Ellis worked with the defensive backs under the guidance of legendary defensive coordinator Dick Lebeau. He participated in the same program with the Buffalo Bills in 2010.
He started for three seasons for the Colonels as a defensive back before sitting out his senior season after suffering a knee injury during the fourth game of the 2002 campaign against Southern University. While with the Colonels, Ellis was named to the All-Southland Conference team all three seasons he played and registered over 200 career tackles and five interceptions for the Colonels. Ellis, the team captain in 2001, was second in the Southland Conference with 104 tackles during the 2000 season.
The 32-year old was a four-year letterman as a quarterback and defensive back at Stringer High School before continuing his playing days at Nicholls State. Ellis earned his bachelor's degree in secondary education from Nicholls State in 2003.

Distilling a life's story down to a single film can be a daunting task — especially when documenting the life of an artist. It's one thing to create a biopic on a politician, athlete, or historical figure. Their narratives, whether complex or straightforward, are largely independent of aesthetic. Their biopics may be bound by temporal or factual parameters, but these parameters inform the aesthetic, rather than dictate it. A movie about John F. Kennedy would have a complexion different from one on Howard Hughes, but both subjects afford a measure of directorial license. Oliver Stone's signature would shine through with as much clarity as Martin Scorcese's.
Artists, on the other hand, present an entirely different case. Here, the director must work not only within historical limits, but within aesthetic ones, as well. This window is narrowed, in large part, because of audience expectations. When we sit down to see a film on Picasso, for example, we go in expecting the work to have a certain constitution. Because we're already familiar with the artist's work, we assume that any filmic representation of his life would, on some level, reflect his real-life aesthetic. By this logic, a film on Van Gogh should incorporate the pastoral, a film on Pollock the frenetic, and a film on Dali the fantastical.
These expectations extend to the realm of narrative, as well, thanks to the age-old archetype of "artist as tortured soul." We expect a certain amount of drama from nearly every work of fiction we encounter, but these demands are only amplified in the case of the artist — someone who, by our preconceptions, has led a life of emotional and interpersonal extremes, of internal strife and external struggle.
The challenge, then, is one of balance. How does a director — himself an artist — put his personal stamp on a film that's predicated upon someone else's art? How does she dramatize inherently dramatic source material without veering into the maudlin?
The answers, of course, will invariably hinge upon a director's given subject, and his or her cinematic sensibilities. But what happens when the line between subject and artist begins to blur; when the director finds himself bleeding into the biography? What happens, is Basquiat.
Basquiat presents an interesting case study on a number of levels. For one, director Julian Schnabel had already risen to the upper echelons of the art world by the time Jean-Michel began turning heads, and both were deeply embedded within the New York art scene of the 1980s. They first met in 1981, and soon fostered a relationship that Schnabel would later describe as both "sweet" and "volatile." No director can ever be completely removed from his subject, but Schnabel brings a uniquely intimate perspective to this biopic — so intimate, in fact, that the character Albert Milos, played by Gary Oldman, is based on Schnabel himself.
It's hard to quantify the impact Schnabel's perspective had on his approach to narrative, though it certainly affects viewer expectations. With Schnabel at the helm, we go into the film in anticipation of a different kind of biopic, one told not from the eyes of a peripheral observer, but from the viewpoint of a true insider. Given that the two knew each other so well, the audience doesn't really expect an objective rendering, either. All we can hope for is a vision of Basquiat through Schnabel's lens. In a sense, then, the movie is as much a biopic on Basquiat as it is on Schnabel himself.
The film is also distinct in its temporal proximity to its subject. Basquiat was released in 1996, just eight years after the artist's fatal heroin overdose. Moviegoers at the time may not have been familiar with his full oeuvre, but his death was still close enough for the Basquiat name to hold cultural cachet. This provided Schnabel with rather substantial liberty as a storyteller. He didn't need to spend much time excavating Basquiat's past, building the case for his fame, or even fleshing out the New York art scene. All were still vivid enough for contemporary audiences to remember, allowing Schnabel to sow his creative energies within a tighter patch of space and time.
The director takes full advantage of these redefined parameters, eschewing the chronological, and at times, the narrative convention itself. Schnabel's work gives us only a brief, stylized glimpse into Basquiat's early life, during the opening credits. Sprinkled in among the title cards are blue-tinted shots of a young Jean-Michel walking through a gallery with his mother. The child looks into the camera once the credits close, before the scene pans upward, where a radiant crown sits atop his head. No words, no explanation, no context. From here, we're thrown years into the future, with a shot of an adult Basquiat (Jeffrey Wright) sleeping in a cardboard box.
Everything pertaining to the artist's past is presented within the fabric of the film's present day. Through conversations and events, we learn of Basquiat's Haitian origins. We know his mother is in some sort of institution, but that's about it. Actions unfold within dimly lit studios and lofts, grimy apartments, Lower East Side street corners. Figures like Andy Warhol (David Bowie) drift in and out of the story. Some, like Warhol, play a critical role throughout the film. Others fall by the wayside, sometimes without explanation.
Compared with the methodical architecture behind most linear biopics, Basquiat's storyline seems held together by atmosphere, rather than concrete actions. There are events that clearly fuel his meteoric rise, but Schnabel's Basquiat seems more a product of his environment than his own prerogative. Things happen to him, people act upon him, and fame suddenly materializes out of thin air.
The result is a story predicated less upon plot than it is upon society, and, more subtly, psychology. There's a distinct aesthetic at work, but it's an aesthetic of place, rather than person or, in this case, art. (The few Basquiat paintings that appear are actually reproductions; Basquiat's father refused to allow originals in the film.) Because of this, Wright's character comes across as helplessly decentralized, despite the fact that he remains the fulcrum upon which the entire plot pivots. As we find out, though, the force that's manipulating these levers — the engine behind the narrative — is not our protagonist himself, but an amalgam of pressures, each a direct product of time and place.
As these forces gradually exert their influence, both Basquiat and Schnabel's narrative seem to drift ever deeper into a fugue-like dream state. Recurring images of televised surfers and water skiers flash across the Manhattan sky as Basquiat's life crumbles around him. Simultaneously, we begin to appreciate the widening gulf between the studio, where Basquiat works with quiet, preternatural deliberation, and an outside world that consumes, chews, and spits out everything in its wake.
In an interview with Charlie Rose shortly after the film's release, Schnabel affirmed that, despite the critical role that the art world plays in Basquiat, he does not blame society for his demise, though he doesn't blame the artist, either. As he sees it, Basquiat simply fell between the cracks dividing art from reality, the studio from the streets. "There is this kind of chasm between the artist and society that is very, very large," Schnabel explained. "One of the reasons for making this film was that it might shorten the distance of this chasm. It demystifies the process of making art."
And, as he says, only someone with an intimate knowledge of this milieu could have faithfully translated it into the language of cinema: "I just felt like a tourist shouldn't make this film."

Wildfire researcher in U.S. Forest Service's Fire Sciences Lab
Missoula, Mont.
An unorthodox expert on one of the biggest impacts of climate change in the West, Cohen has investigated monstrous wildfires and done "field experiments" -- intentionally steering fires toward buildings. Federal wildfire policy is "obviously failing," Cohen says. "It doesn't work." The feds devote billions of dollars to wide-scale thinning and manic firefighting, mostly to protect homes, yet fires continue to rampage, most recently in California, where more than 1,000 houses were destroyed in November. Cohen hopes that Obama will change fire policy, shifting responsibility from the federal government to the people whose houses are at risk. A few simple precautions, such as thinning vegetation outward to 100 feet from houses, would save mountains of taxpayer money, while reducing firefighter fatalities and property losses. "We can't exclude wildfires" from the forests, Cohen says. "Instead of viewing it as a wildfire-control problem, we need to view it as a home-ignition problem."

Twelve years after his investigative book, Losing Ground: American Environmentalism at the Close of the 20th Century, came out, Dowie continues to track the movement's struggles. He says Obama should restore various offices of "scientific integrity" that Bush quietly eliminated with budget cuts. "The names of the offices varied, but every agency had one, where you could go if you had a complaint about scientific fraud or abuse. Now (thanks to Bush), there is nowhere you can go with such a complaint. Not even the National Academy of Sciences -- a third of its operations used to be looking for scientific abuse, but if you make a complaint to them now, they say, 'We'll look into it, but only if you fund (the investigation).' " Dowie would also like to see Obama "call a meeting of leaders of environmental and conservation groups -- not just the big groups, but also a lot of the grassroots groups. Have a roundtable, and ask them the same question you're asking me: 'What can we do to assure the environmental health of our nation?' Be sincere, don't do it just to gain (political support)."

Based on his analysis of U.S. senators' votes and discussions in recent years, Smith concludes that -- despite the Democrats' gains in the November elections -- Obama will not have an easy time passing aggressive new environmental laws. "In the new Congress, the enviros won't quite have enough votes in the Senate to push through any huge changes without some compromise or deal-making. On large issues, such as cap-and-trade (limits on carbon-dioxide emissions), or tougher fuel standards for vehicles, or developing wind power further, the enviros are going to have to put something on the table. I suspect the deals will include more offshore oil drilling, more natural gas development in the West, possibly guarantees for nuclear power plants, possibly even oil-shale development." There are "pro-oil Democrats," Smith notes, and the environmental movement itself is split over issues such as nuclear power and marching new electricity lines across the landscape. Basically, he advises Obama to "settle for what we can do."

Kemmis is a longtime fan of consensus, especially of local compromises reached by environmentalists, ranchers and loggers. But he has seen such efforts stalled by inflexible regulations and the plodding bureaucracy of the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies. Obama, he says, should encourage the agencies to create a "virtual region" for experiments, so different approaches can be tested and new solutions found. Proposals for consensus efforts around the West could proceed under the loose supervision of this new "Region 7" -- Kemmis' suggested title, after a former Forest Service regional office that was merged with another office in 1965. "If you had a Region 7, whose whole purpose is to encourage experimentation, then collaborative efforts would have something to take hold of, rather than trying to fight against a system that doesn't know how to incorporate their ideas. Obama often states a commitment to getting diverse interests to solve problems together, pragmatically. The Region 7 idea seems entirely consistent with Obama's approach."
Chair of the Center of the American West
University of Colorado-Boulder
A deep-thinking historian, Limerick worries that Western environmentalists who have set their hopes too high could quickly grow frustrated with Obama. It's a pattern: Many hard-line enviros felt betrayed by the last two Democratic presidents -- especially by those presidents' secretaries of Interior, Bruce Babbitt and Cecil Andrus, because they weren't purists on grazing, endangered species, wilderness and other issues. Limerick urges the administration and environmentalists not to rush into clashes over issues, "the whole line-in-the-sand, Alamo type-of-thing again," regardless of who ends up running Interior. If Obama and Congress go too far in the rush to restore regulations weakened by Bush, they could trigger a whole new round of the Sagebrush Rebellion, anti-green, anti-government rage in rural communities. Limerick encourages a thoughtful approach: She advises environmentalists to "be more aimed in who you attack."

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
West Virginia State Police were working with Alabama authorities Friday to investigate the discovery of two sets of human remains found in a storage locker and to decide whether they should file charges against a "person of interest."
Sgt. Ron Lilly would not reveal the person's name or gender but said he could have more details on the case later Friday.
The owner of the Stor-All rental storage facility outside Summersville contacted the local State Police detachment Wednesday afternoon when he found the door to one unit unsecured and looked inside.
"He saw what he believed to be a human leg, but he wasn't sure," Lilly said. "He told us he didn't know if it was animal or human ... but as soon as we saw it, we knew. There was no question."
Troopers got a search warrant and called in the state medical examiner's office, which removed the remains and was doing testing Friday to determine both the identities and the causes of death.
The owner of the storage facility didn't immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
In Alabama, Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair told news media outlets that officials are investigating whether the bodies could be those of two Alabama women who disappeared in 2002 — 105-year-old Mary Cobb and her 85-year-old daughter Wynona Delvecchio.
Lilly said Alabama authorities flew to Charleston on Thursday, and the states are now collaborating to determine whether and where any crimes may have occurred and where charges, if any, should be filed.
Nicholas County Prosecutor James Milam did not immediately return a telephone call or email message seeking comment.
An assistant to Nicholas County Magistrate Court John Morton, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, said a defendant was expected to appear Friday afternoon but for the moment was at the Summersville Regional Medical Center.
Hospital officials declined comment, citing patient confidentiality laws.

---- — To the editor:
All of us have been watching the deadlock in Congress — a division between the right wing and left wing in our country where little gets to move compared to what is possible.
Instead, government crawls on two little feet that cannot carry the weight of impending climate, economic, health-care, and energy difficulties. It's almost as if our government functions like a football game where there are winners and losers.
It's interesting, because my own views carry both left and right wing perspctives. For example, I want to see a safety floor for the poor where basic needs are met. And I want to see all have the opportunity for a good education and for having a home and access to good health care — both eastern and western, but, on the other hand, I want to see God (or, at least, the expressed acknowledgment of a supreme benevolent power) back in our schools and other public places.
There was a time when Republicans and Democrats worked together better.
Take the image of a bird; it can walk on its two little feet even if the two wings are broken, but the bird can never fly unless it has both its left and right wing.
Maybe the symbol of the eagle and its greatness and solitariness will always have its place, but maybe there is also room for another symbol as well.
For example, geese fly in a "V" formation. When the leader gets tired, it drops back and another bird takes its place. So, the leadership is constantly allowing for change. Also, when a goose drops out of formation — due to weakness or injury — a few other birds will go with it and try to help it rejoin and not be left behind and instead get support.

Apply for MSW
Application Deadlines
Standard MSW: March 1, 2014
Admission to the School of Social Work as a matriculated degree candidate is based on meeting the academic qualifications required of all students in the Graduate School plus an evaluation of the applicant's potentialities for the profession of social work.
Applications are accepted or refused on the basis of breadth of background and experience or evidence of promise in the field of social work, as well as on academic preparation.
Applicants should be intellectually able, emotionally mature, interested in working with people, and potentially capable of assuming the heavy responsibilities which are inherent in social work.
The information provided in this section will serve as a guide for the application process. Included is information regarding admission requirements, process, required forms and application criteria.
The Application Process
UConn School of Social Work uses an online self-managed application process. This process places the responsibility on the applicant for the collection and submission of all documents. The application includes recommendations, personal statement, residence affidavit, and transcripts from all schools attended.
Rolling Admission
It is important to note that the School of Social Work uses a rolling admission process from September through March 1st for the following fall semester. This means that we will process applications and application packets as soon as they are received. Students who apply early can be admitted early. Since the admission process opens in early September, it is possible to be admitted before the new year. In addition, since students not only apply for admission to the school, but to a specific concentration, early applications have a greater chance of their preferred concentration not being full.

Personal Matters
Susan Britt
---- — It is a life event you probably never believed would really happen: the time for a parent to be institutionalized. If you thought about your parents aging at all, you probably assumed they would be healthy until the day they died. Instead, you have watched with dismay as your father or mother has grown sick, frail, unsteady and, in some cases, confused.
You have probably exercised every option before deciding to place your parent in a nursing home. You have checked on him (or her) every day. You have bought groceries and cooked meals. You have driven him to multiple doctor's appointments, arranged for and picked up prescriptions. You have enlisted in-home health aides who visit a few times per week.
Now, these efforts are no longer enough. So, you need to do what is best for him, and you realize that means placing him in a nursing facility. The stress of that decision, and the resulting difficult and overwhelming process can literally cause you to be ill.
First, there is the guilt. You may feel that you should take your parent into your home and care for him yourself. You experience these feelings even though your family may be overcrowded in your home, and you have a full-time job that would prevent you from giving the necessary daily care. The conflict between the feeling of "I should" and the reality that "I can't" eat away at you emotionally.
Then, once the decision is made, you need to deal with choosing the proper nursing home facility. Which is best? Does he belong in "assisted living" or "personal care"? Is this a quality facility where he will receive all the professional care he will need? After hearing horror stories about nursing homes, how can I be certain the staff will really care about him and treat him with dignity? In addition to health care issues, you will need to address financial ones. What can your parent afford? What happens if he has few assets? What if the funds dwindle? Will he have to sell his home?
You are making important, impactful, long-term decisions concerning end-of-life issues for someone you love, which is enormously stressful on practical, financial and emotional levels. And, most probably, the deep, emotionally wrenching issue is your parent's anger and sadness. He blames you for being forced to leave his home.
How can you manage the stress and overwhelming challenges of this unavoidable life crisis, and where do you start?
First: Get as much information as possible from the experiences of friends and family members, and contact social services resources. These organizations will provide information about support groups for caregivers and choosing nursing or other facilities: Children of Aging Parents (CAPS) — in Massachusetts the number is 1-800-227-7294; the state Executive Office of Elder Affairs; AARP (American Association of Retired Persons); National Family Caregivers Association; and Eldercare Locator 1-800-677-1116.
You may want to start by contacting your local Council On Aging: in Gloucester at the Rose Baker Senior Center, 978-281-9765; at the Rockport Senior Center, 978-546-2573; in Manchester at 978-526-7500; and Essex at 978-768-7932.
Second: Insist that siblings and other family members take some responsibility. Share the information gathering, get help to look at legal issues involved, have family discussions about all the options, and emphasize that all decisions are family decisions. No one can maintain his or her emotional health in this situation without getting support, especially from family members. Avail yourself of all the caregiver resources that have been created to help you through this major life event.
Third: You must take care of yourself — physically, mentally and emotionally. In some instances, you may want to enlist the support of professionals. Especially important is self talk. Be kind to yourself with reminders: "I am doing the best I can under the circumstances." "Although this process is painful, I know I am doing what is necessary and best for my parent."
While this is one of the most difficult life events you may have to deal with, the positive here is that today, because of our aging population, there are more agencies, resources and avenues for support than ever before. Take full advantage of them, they were created for you.
Based in Rockport, life coach and psychotherapist Susan Britt, M.Ed., teaches individuals, couples and families to resolve relationship conflicts, clarify and achieve goals, and accelerate personal growth.

Here's mine. Nothing like that AIWA sound :D
Here's mine, sub under the workbench, speakers on shelves. There are no elctronics, as it is all run off the main system's zone2. Well there is the old 13" TV which allows me to control everything, and select CD's from the garage.
Dont have a picture handy --
But when I had it running
It had all custom built speakers ---
Mains were 4, 4" full range drivers, ported enclosure
Sub is 4 - 6.5" woofs, 10" PR, 125 watt amp
Ran with a Marantz Integrated and a Sansui Tuner

"No, that's silly talk. Dude, you can't possibly be this audio dumb so quit the act." - Doro
Mine is also run off my Zone 2 off my main rig. Currently I have two in wall speakers but may move my Monitor 7's out there.

My garage rig consists of a semi-vintage Realistic STA-870 receiver (that was my Mom's back in the 80's), a pair of Mirage M-290 that I rescued from Craigslist in non-working condition, and my original 1st Gen Playstation that is used for CD playback.
The Mirage had a crack in one of the crossover boards. I soldered a jumper across the crack and they not work fine (and actually sound very sweet). They were pretty beat up, but last weekend, I actually re-did the fabric on the grills and touched up a few areas with a Sharpie. Now they look pretty darn good. I am actually going to move these inside now and put them in my son's room, so I'll be looking for a new pair of garage speakers. Maybe a pair of large advents if I can find some cheap....

The idea was to post some pics! Where's the pics?

For about the past week it has looked like this.
And it sounds surprisingly good.
I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
Here are some of my old ones:
Long live the Man Cave Garage Rig!
^ that last pic looks kinda familiar...actually 2 and 3 do as well. LOL
I've enjoyed them. Nice garage. I'd have to move all the garage sale stuff off my Fisher console on the carport to add any pics here. I'll put it on the to do list.
You can only run a garage rig up here for less than a few months. Mostly summer, so I haven't gotten around to it. I am thinking of throwing a Lepai 2020A+ T-amp out there with some appropriately matched bookies and a portable player device. I have a set of Celestion Ditton DL 6s in the basement that aren't used much there, perhaps they'll be "moving" soon?

Hey Steve,
Whatever happened to all that vintage stuff in your old house ? Didn't you have a vintage man cave thing going on ?
I'm using the rig, but all the 70's decorations are packed up. Doesn't really go with a santa fe style joint...LOL. I gave the HPM-40's to my buddy that helped me move.
I'm going to build a bar area in the shop one day, likely a santa fe/cowboy/mexican themed sorta bar, once we get the place repaired from the storm damage. I'm still "cooking" some ideas on the theme, but I think it will be really cool. Think wine barrel tables, rustic wood floors, oil burning lamps....

Editor's Note: The story was corrected on Sept. 30 to say that 41 Holmdel students currently attend High Tech. A previous version of this story said that 41 students were accepted at High Tech High School last year. Patch regrets the error.
High Technology High School in Lincroft, a magnet school which attracts a large number of Holmdel students, is the best performing high school for math and science in the nation, according to a survey in US News and World Report released Tuesday.
The rankings were based on the level of student participation and success in Advanced Placement (AP) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and subsequent tests administered by the College Board. The survey used data from 2008 graduates.
"Needless to say, I am extremely proud of our students and staff for
achieving this recognition," said Principal Daniel D. Simon, Sr.
High Tech is one of five career academy schools within the Monmouth County Vo-Tech system, and it is located on the campus of Brookdale Community College. Students learn in modern labs, take coursework that earns them college credits, and do meaninful internships in their field of interest.
Getting in is extremely competitive. Each year, 300 applicants from 52 school districts apply, but only 75 talented and qualified students get the golden ticket. In 2011, 14 Holmdel students were offered a place, and 11 accepted, according to Simon.
Overall, 41 Holmdel students are enrolled in all four grades at High Tech, according to Guidance Dept. Superviser Eric Swensen.
The annual open house sessions are drawing near. (The dates of the High Tech High School sessions are Saturday, Oct. 15; Wednesday, Oct. 26; Saturday, Nov. 5; and Tuesday, Nov. 15.) Attendance is mandatory for aspiring students.
"Its so hard to predict, but I can say for sure that all the recent attention -- so close to the start of information sessions -- is certainly going to draw large crowds," said Principal Daniel D. Simon, Sr.
Also ranked nationally for Best in Math and Science was the Academy of Allied Health and Science in Neptune (#66) and the Marine Academy of Science and Technology at Sandy Hook (#147).
Read a profile of the school from the US News & World Report website.

Congratulations to PCJ's Anthony Braga on being selected as the recipient of the 2014 Joan McCord Award from the DEC/AEC, which recognizes distinguished experimental contributions to criminology and criminal justice. Award recipients must have conducted significant experimental research that in the tradition of Joan McCord has important implications for policy and practice. The award can be given to a specific randomized controlled trial or a group of experiments leading to significant policy outcomes. Past winners include Larry Sherman, Joan Petersilia, David Farrington, Denise Gottfredson, Doris MacKenzie, and David Weisburd. More about the Academy of Experimental Criminology (AEC) and the American Society of Criminology's Division of Experimental Criminology (DEC).
David T. Ellwood, Dean of Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and the Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy announced the appointment of Bruce Western as Faculty Chair of the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management (PCJ).
Western will continue in his present roles as Professor of Sociology with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) as well as Director of the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy. Additionally, on July 1st he will assume the role of Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice at HKS. When asked about his new appointment with the PCJ, Western replied, "After forty years of rising incarceration rates, criminal justice policy in America is now at a crossroads. Its an exciting time to be chairing the Program in Criminal Justice and I'm looking forward to making our contribution to what I hope is a new era for prisons in American society."
Professor Western's recent research has examined trends in US economic inequality and studied the growth in American prison populations. On economic inequality he has analyzed the effects of declining labor union membership, changes in intergenerational mobility, and trends in economic insecurity. His work on prisons has examined the effects of incarceration on economic opportunities, and on the family members of incarcerated men and women; Western is featured in the Harvard Magazine article, The Prison Problem. Additionally, he is currently deputy chair of an NAS committee to study the causes and consequences of high incarceration rates and will lead an executive session on penal policy at HKS next year. He is particularly interested in studying how criminal justice institutions affect the poor both here in the United States and abroad, and has stated, "Our justice institutions have a vital role to play in ensuring our poorest and most vulnerable citizens can fully participate in their communities. My great hope is that Program in Criminal Justice can advance this project." More about our the people of the PCJ

China Justice News Update No. 54 - March, 2011
Many lawyers and legal scholars in China today are trying out new ways to measure the value of legal representation. Recent revisions to the laws regulating the conduct of defense lawyers, new rules about the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence, fresh instructions about how to sentence convicted defendants, and a spate of well-publicized wrongful convictions for unrepresented defendants have made the public and government especially attentive to new ideas about the value and costs of legal representation. The possibility that additional changes to the Criminal Procedure Law will be adopted in the fall...

Prior to the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010, the nation's judicial system was struggling to put a credible justice system in place, and there were some signs of increased police accountability, improved training for judges and reductions in deadly violence in its overcrowded prisons.
A New Era for Justice Sector Reform in Haiti (click on icon below)
The Los Angeles Police Department is completing one of the most ambitious experiments in police reform ever attempted in an American city. After a decade of policing crises that began with the beating of Rodney King in 1991 and culminated in the Rampart police corruption scandal in 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in May 2000 that it had accumulated enough evidence to sue the City of Los Angeles over a pattern-and-practice of police misconduct. Later that year, the city government entered a "consent decree" promising to adopt scores of reform measures under the supervision of the Federal Court.
Policing Los Angeles Under a Consent Decree: The Dynamics of Change at the LAPD (click on icon below)
Since 1981, some 26 police officers across the United States have been shot and killed by fellow police officers who have mistaken them for dangerous criminals. These fatal shootings are doubly tragic, first because both the shooters and victims in such situations are risking their lives to enforce the law and protect the public, and second because many of these deaths are preventable. The dangers that give rise to these deaths are inherent in policing, but those dangers can be reduced and more deaths prevented.

New Book Co-Authored by Braga: Policing Problem Places
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book, Policing Problem Places: Crime Hot Spots and Effecitve Prevention, co-authored by PCJ Senior Research Fellow, Dr. Anthony Braga.
From the book jacket: "In Policing Problem Places, Anthony Braga and David Weisburd demonstrate that hot spots policing is a powerful and cost-effective approach to crime prevention. While putting police officers where crime happens most is an old and well-established idea, in practice it is often avoided or not properly implemented.
Braga and Weisburd draw on rigorous scientific evidence to show how police officers should use problem-oriented policing and situational crime-prevention techniques to address the place dynamics, situations, and characteristics that cause a spot to be "hot." But the benefits of hot spots policing do not end with conserving public dollars and police resources. Illustrating how policing problem places can benefit police-community relations, especially in minority neighborhoods where residents have long suffered from high crime and poor police service, Braga and Weisburd show how police can make efforts to develop positive and collaborative relationships with residents and avoid the indiscriminant enforcement tactics that undermine the legitimacy of the police."

Topic: Gun sales
In 2007 a total of 12,632 people in the United States were murdered with firearms, and it is estimated that another 48,676 were treated in hospitals for gunshot wounds received in assaults. Guns are frequently used to commit crimes in the United States, partly because they are so easy to get. This ease of access, in turn, is partially attributable to the fact that there are two systems of retail gun commerce in this country, one involving licensed gun retailers and the other based on private-party gun sellers, and only the former of these systems is regulated. Some 85% of all guns used in crimes and then recovered by law-enforcement agencies have been sold at least once by private parties.

"I have never in my life heard such detailed and powerful bass in an earphone.

"When I received these earbuds I was not expecting much. I read reviews on the FX1X and FX3X, and both were laced with caveats.

" These must have been designed with some singular purpose in mind. They did not sound right to me in terms of balance, dynamics and detail. Very bass heavy.
