Are debtors prisons coming back?
Not really, but reports indicate more Americans are being threatened with jail -- or jailed -- for failing to pay their bills.
This post comes from Lynn Mucken at MSN Money.
The United States does not have debtors prisons, per se -- they effectively were outlawed in 1833 -- but you can still go to jail for failure to pay your debts.
Surprised? You wouldn't be if you thought about it for a bit. Judges occasionally jail a parent who fails to pay court-ordered child support, but only after going to considerable effort to extract the money in other ways, and usually only if the courts believe the parent can afford to pay.
And there are still "pay the fine or …" judgments, although community service in lieu of slammer time is the preferred option these civilized days.
Popping up more often, however, are cases where people go to jail for failure to pay their personal debts to businesses. Post continues after video.
According to The Wall Street Journal, more than a third of all U.S. states allow jailing of debtors who can't or won't pay. Its survey of nine counties with a total population of 13.6 million showed that judges have signed off on more than 5,000 such warrants since the start of 2010.
The Star Tribune of Minneapolis-St. Paul detailed one case:
Jack Hinton of Kenney, Ill., was sentenced to jail indefinitely after falling behind on a court order that he pay $150 a month on a debt of $6,440. Hinton, a self-employed roofing contractor, said he had broken his neck and back in a fall, but the judge noted that Hinton used $1,000 for other bills rather than his court-ordered payments. He was ordered to the county jail until he could come up with $300.
After three hours in a holding cell, his wife got him released by borrowing on a credit card. "I couldn't pay, and I was stuck in jail until I did," Hinton said. "How is that any different from debtors prison?"
The WSJ reported on a couple of recent jailings:
- Easy Money Express, a Paducah, Ky., payday lender, won arrest warrants against at least four customers, one of whom spent five days jail after failing to pay a $275 debt.
- Emmie Nichols, 26, was arrested at her mother's house in Platt County, Ill., after lawyers for Capital One Financial won an arrest warrant against her for skipping a court hearing about $1,159.87 she owed on a credit card. The $500 bond that freed Nichols from the county jail was turned over to Capital One as a partial payment of the debt.
Most of these legal actions are filed by payday lenders or collection companies that are sold the debt for pennies on the dollar by the stiffed businesses, which seldom find bill collection to be cost-effective. Bigger companies build credit losses into the price of their product and have accounts-receivable insurance and tax write-offs to ease their pain.
"We have created a de facto debtors prison system in the United States that is largely unconstitutional," Judith Fox, a law professor at Notre Dame Law School, told the Star Tribune. "In some parts of the country, people are so fearful of arrest they are scrambling to pay money they might not even owe."
Of course, the fear factor is what makes the collection system work. That, and the relentless pursuit.
Debt collectors defend the practice, saying phone calls, letters and legal actions aren't always enough to get people to pay.
- Calculator:Do I have too much debt?
"Admittedly, it's a harsh sanction," said Steven Rosso, a partner in the Como Law Firm of St. Paul, which does collections work. "But sometimes, it's the only sanction we have."
Is it legal? Experts disagree, the Star Tribune found.
In states such as Indiana and Illinois, people are being locked up for not making court-ordered payments. Known as "pay or stay," it can mean days in jail and multiple arrests for the same debt. Some legal experts say the practice is unconstitutional because the arrest is directly linked to the failure to pay a debt.
In other states, the issue is less clear because warrants to arrest debtors are issued for disobeying court orders, such as not filling out a financial disclosure form or missing a required hearing, not for failure to pay debt. So long as someone fulfills the court order, they can avoid incarceration.
"It looks on the surface like debtors prison," said William Ross, a law professor at Samford University's Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Ala. "But it's really not, because the person isn't being punished for the debt, but for failing to appear."
Alan White, a law professor at Valparaiso University in Indiana, told the newspaper that even the threat of jail for debts is unconstitutional. He also questioned the practice of bail being set at the amount of the debt. "If, in effect, people are being incarcerated until they pay bail, and bail is being used to pay their debts, then they're being incarcerated to pay their debts," he said.
And then there is the opinion of Illinois Circuit Court Judge Chris Freese. "I wish I could do it more," Freese, who has heard hundreds of debt-collection cases, told the WSJ. "It's often the only remedy to get people into court and paying their debts."
How often are debtors arrested across the country? No national statistics are kept, and until recently the practice has gone largely unnoticed outside legal circles.
"My suspicion is the debt collection industry does not want the world to know these arrests are happening," Robert Hobbs of the National Consumer Law Center in Boston told the Star Tribune, "because the practice would be widely condemned."
Would it? Public support/disapproval, as with its attitude toward the welfare system, likely depends on the details of each individual case. Some people have received a raw deal in life, and others just want things without paying for them.
More from MSN Money:
my credit is excellent, my debt very low. BUT, if I am ever incarcerated for debt, that is the day i drop out of the system. i would stay in prison, i would never work an above the table job again. the credit companies would never see a penny of their money and i would find ways to steal from them. who knows where this would lead? when good upstanding citizens are crushed in an unethical system that bails out the irresponsible lenders and speculators, when the politicians are in big businesses pockets, who really knows what the future holds?
Debt collectors like that should be forced to shut down because they're nothing but scumbags.
Really?! In a time such as this where people are struggling to make ends meet... we are going to put them in jail until they pay?! And how exactly are they supposed to get the money if they are sitting in jail?!
And how many of those wealthy CEO's and fat cats are being put in jail for putting the screws to so many people and putting us in the position to not be able to pay our bills. Because ultimately, they brought down the market which caused businesses to be unable to pay their employees. When do we get to see that?!

Oh No Toronto, the Stanley and the Edmonton Oilers
This is Dave Keon. Toronto fans may not be familiar with the tin can to his right, it's the most coveted object in Canada (even though it hasn't been here in a long time).
I think Ottawa wins the Stanley this season, Zetterberg and the boys in Motown will need a painful playoff lesson in the finals and if the Senators can get out of their own way it should be home by Canada Day.
Toronto is apparently thinking of firing GM John Ferguson, Jr. Let me ask you a question: what would a good organization do, and the followup question is what will Toronto actually do?
A good organization would probably have a procurement list from the very best NHL teams (let's say Detroit, New Jersey, Anaheim, San Jose, Ottawa) and their assistants. Maybe Jarmo Kekalainen is tired of being in St. Louis, maybe I'm the owner and met Marshall Johnston once and he impressed me. That would be the general idea, right? If you're looking for someone to fill a position, find the very best guy available, and that's often a top assistant or someone who filled the job previously before things went a little sideways.
So let me make up my list. Kekalainen, Marshall Johnston, Jim Nill, Bob Murray, David Conte, Wayne Thomas. Now that's my list, maybe you've read up on someone but basically we're talking about executives who might be interested in the position and have a background that lends itself to what they'll be doing when named Toronto's GM. Let's say I end up hiring Wayne Thomas. He went to college at Wisconsin, played for the Leafs, has a background in hockey management.
What is Toronto doing? According to rumor, they've been very interested in Scotty Bowman for some time. Bowman of course is the most successful coach in NHL history and is much less famous for his GM career. He's also a little old for what is going to be a two or three year process as the Toronto contracts that are killing them come off the books.
Bruce Garrioch has reported that the Leafs are also looking at Glenn Healy, Mark Messier, Steve Yzerman, Ron Francis. Apparently the Dallas Stars deciding to hire Brett Hull and split the position with Les Jackson has the Leafs' brass thinking along the same lines.
Is this a good idea? Would Ron Francis and Wayne Thomas make a good combination? Maybe. The NHL's new cap world is extremely likely to be beyond most of the hockey men in the NHL (Kevin Lowe is apparently unaware of the rfa offer sheet rules, something one imagines Scott Howson could have helped him on, as a for instance) but you'd need someone who actually knew them backwards and then have a guy like Francis make the calls based on his hockey knowledge.
I suspect it's a two-man job now, with the ideal being someone like Howson who has the background in hockey, management and legal.
As for the Oilers, I'm wondering what set of circumstances would have to fall into place for them to bump Kevin Lowe upstairs? I've long felt it isn't as far away as many think, even with the EIG having signed Lowe recently to a long extension (I believe the contract ends summer 2012). If the Oilers:
- finish at or near the bottom of the standings
- ANA ends up with a very high (top 3) pick
- the fanbase fails to renew season tickets in the usual rapid manner
- the season ticket "waiting list" evaporates quickly when called
then I think Lowe probably gets bumped upstairs and they bring in someone else. When this subject is discussed in Edmonton currently the response is almost always "never gonna happen" but bottom line is that being competitive is the expectation for the Oilers from the fanbase in the post-lockout era.
One season in turmoil was a breeze, because the memory of the Stanley run was fresh. Two seasons is not so easy to swallow and if Kevin Lowe can't get this team into the 9-12 range for 07-08 then imo the whispers will gain voice and you might see a change in management at the GM level at the end of the schedule.
The alternative is that MacTavish takes a walk in the snow Trudeau-style and calls it a day. I doubt that happens, in fact I believe he may be the next General Manager of the Edmonton Oilers. With someone like Scott Howson handling questions like "if I sign an rfa, do the picks need to be mine?"

Peter Philips Goes for Glitter Backstage at Chanel
Paris' Grand Palais is appropriately named. The turn-of-the-20th-century venue is massive, and so are the Chanel shows that take place there every season. The fact that the audience here is perched in stadium-style seating presents an interesting challenge for Peter Philips. "We wanted something that is beautiful close by, but that you can read from a distance," he explained of the process by which he and Karl Lagerfeld brainstormed a makeup look for Fall. Noticing the metallic threads that were woven into many of the designer's tweeds, and the twinkling lights demarcating cities in the giant globe that sat at the center of his runway, the idea of using glitter "just came up," according to Philips, who turned to 3-D eye makeup that utilized "jumbo" silver sparkles as a fairly festive solution to the problem.
It worked. Even from the cheap seats, you could see models' lids flickering as they circled the world according to Chanel with pieces of sequins affixed close to their lash lines in an elongated shape, and in the lashes themselves. "We actually applied extra glue in the lashes so they get more faceted and catch in the light," Philips revealed. Keeping skin semi-matte with Chanel Perfection Lumière Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup, dusted with its Poudre Universelle Libre to contrast with the shiny texture on the lids, Philips added a warm flush with Chanel's forthcoming cream blush, one of six new hues that will launch with corresponding Rouge Coco Shine lip colors this fall—including the transparent, deep berry-rose Instinct that Philips slicked onto mouths today. Nails were painted a similar color with the as-yet-unreleased Le Vernis de Chanel in Elixir. As a finishing touch, Philips drew a long line of its Le Crayon Khôl eye liner in Noir underneath the lower lashes to further ensure models didn't disappear in the vast space. "It's a combination between a technical solution and an aesthetic solution," he said of the graphic element.
Sam McKnight's "done, but undone" center-parted strands were a reaction to two additional graphic elements. "There are these chokers," he said, referencing the wealth of necklaces that were placed over the back of models' hair, creating an indentation. Prepped with Frédéric Fekkai Full Volume Mousse for a slight bit of texture and Magic Move for piecey-ness—"the white one, which is the creamiest one," McKnight said of the popular sculpting cream—lengths were tucked into overcoats, blazers, and dresses, so all that remained was the illusion of a short-hair silhouette, a shape that was made even more distinct via a series of colored hats shaped like bobbed wigs with blunt bangs. Lagerfeld has always had a soft spot for the kind of short cuts that are making the runway rounds this season, often surrounding himself with cropped, house muses like Saskia de Brauw and Stella Tennant—the latter of whom showed up backstage just in time to get an impromptu trim from McKnight. Talk about a job perk.

FULLTIME: A totally one-sided affair as the Brumbies demolish the Western Force 41-7 at Canberra Stadium in front of a crowd of 12,517. The Brumbies scored six tries to one to grab a four-try bonus point and return to the top of the Super Rugby ladder. The Brumbies are on 40 points, three clear of their nearest rival, the Queensland Reds. For the Force, it was their eighth loss from 10 games and they remain in danger of claiming the dreaded wooden spoon.
An official crowd tonight of 12,517 - almost double of what showed up at Manuka Oval for today's GWS Giants v Gold Coast Suns game.
TRY: The Force are in! The Brumbies get within five minutes of shutting out a team for just the third time in their history, Matt Hodgson barging his way over. The conversion is successful. Brumbies 41; Force 7
TRY: It's officially a flogging! The Brumbies get their sixth try of the night through replacement hooker Siliva Siliva, who gets a great ball from Pat McCabe to score. Lealiifano hits the post and misses. Brumbies 41; Force 0
George Smith gets a massive ovation with a well-deserved rest after another stellar game. Must surely be the Wallabies' No 7 if he gets the all clear from Suntory. Colby Faingaa takes over for Smith.
The Brumbies make a rare mistake with the ball in hand to cough up a great chance for another try. The sting has definitely gone out of this one. Junior Rasolea off for the Force, replaced by Winston Stanley.
Mass changes for the Brumbies as Jake White gives his squad valuable game time. Robbie Coleman and Colby Faingaa are the only replacements left on the bench. Big cheer for Pat McCabe as the Wallabies star gets his chance for the final 25min.
Another change for the Force - No 8 Richard Brown replaced by Chris Alcock.
TRY: Oh yeah!!!!!!! Robbie Deans would've sat up and taken notice as Toomua sets up Joe Tomane in the corner. Tomane still had plenty of work to do in the corner, but shows great instincts to dance down the sideline and plant the ball over the line. Lealiifano converts, again. Brumbies 36; Force 0
Force prop Salesi Ma'afu is replaced by Kieran Longbottom.
Geez, that was terrible by the Force. Alby Mathewson, hang your head in shame. The scrumhalf knocks on in trying to pick the ball up from the scrum, finally a bit of relief for the Brumbies.
Back-up hooker, and the man with the best name in world rugby, Silivia Siliva, comes on for the Brumbies while Moore is in the bin. Power goes off for the next 10min.
Pushing and shoving between the two sides - it's a throwback to last week's Reds classic. Handbags at 10 paces. Stephen Moore is shown a yellow card for a couple of infringements and what the ref described as cynical play by the Wallabies hooker. The Brumbies down to 14 for the next 10 minutes.
Auelua is off for the Brumbies with a slight hamstring strain, replaced by Leon Power.
SECOND HALF: It's also the biggest Brumbies lead at halftime since week six in 2000 when they were ahead of the now-defunct Cats 36-nil. That game ended 64-0. We're back for the second half.
STAT ATTACK: The Brumbies have won 57 of 58 games at Canberra Stadium when they have scored 29 points or more. Hard to see the Force preventing a 58th victory.
HALFTIME: Well, that's an absolute blowout. If it's not the best 40 minutes from the Brumbies this season, it's right up there. The Brumbies have been in complete control and are a class above the Force. Could be a long flight back to the West for Richard Foley's men at this rate. Brumbies 29; Force 0
CONVERSION: Lealiifano makes no mistake and the Brumbies are further ahead. Brumbies 29; Force 0
TRY: And there's the four-try bonus point for the Brumbies ... or is it? Henry Speight goes over in the corner, but a fair bit of doubt about the last pass from George Smith. A bit on the grounding as well, but all good on both accounts. Put this game in the bag, the Brumbies are home. Brumbies 27; Force 0 KTC
On a dime with the kick there from Jesse Mogg. The Fox Sports commentators bring up the comparison with Brumbies and Wallabies great Joe Roff. It's a massive rap but at this stage very well deserved.
Brumbies skipper Ben Mowen offers to help the referee with a few calls. Who says players and officials don't get along?
Gotta applaud the defence from the Brumbies. Water-tight at the moment, holds out the Force before Toomua clears the danger with a strong kick down-field.
Finally an attacking chance for the Force. They get within a metre of the try-line but pulled down short. Nic White called offside from the next play. Credit to the Force for going for the scrum and not the three.
C'mon Force fans, get to your feet .... Charles throws his first straight line-out of the night.
TRY: Very impressed by Kuridrani, another slicing run to get across the line for his first Super Rugby try. The Brumbies have three meat pies on the board already. Could be an absolute smorgasboard from here on. Lealiifano nails the conversion. Brumbies 22; Force 0
Someone has absolutely crunched Force flyhalf Sam Norton-Knight, otherwise known as a poor man's Bernie Larkham. I thought it was the Fotu missle, but it was actually the lightly built Matt Toomua. Great hit - No 10 on No 10.
PENALTY GOAL: Lealiifano extends the Brumbies lead with a straight forward penalty goal right in front. Couldn't have asked for a better opening from the home side. The Force in massive strife. Brumbies 15; Force 0
Tevita, Tevita! Magic run straight up the guts by the Brumbies centre sparks a sensational attack. Kuridrani throws a looping long ball to his mate on the wing, Henry Speight, who tip toes down the sideline before throwing a desperate ball back inside. The Brumbies recycle possession and earn a penalty under the posts.
TRY: Or is it? We're going upstairs for a ''check, check'' - who knows what the hell the ref means by that - on a possible forward pass from Nic White to Speight. And it's a try! Speight is under the posts for his sixth of the year. Lealiifano throws it over. Brumbies 12; Force 0.
Plenty of pressure from the Force forward pack. Lots of quality there. Pity you can't say the same about their hooker. Nathan Charles is having a shocker, getting penalised for his second straight wonky lineout throw. Can't even blame the wind, there isn't any.
Not sure what happened there with Matt Toomua. The classy five-eighth has put his clearing kick out on the full, a rare mistake for him. Then again, the Force have just thrown a line-out more crooked than the head honchos at FIFA. Mistake fest
Little bit sloppy there from the Brumbies, a clumsy turnover gives the Force a scrum 30m out from their own line. All the home team right now, the Force need to send out an SOS for the ball.
TRY: Quick hands from the Brumbies sees Mogg crash over in the corner after just five minutes. Give that to Auelua and Lealiifano for exposing the Force down the right. Lealiifano misses the conversion. Brumbies 5; Force 0
Terrific rushing defence from Kuridrani shuts down the Force and forces (bad pun) the turnover. Nic White's rocket of a penalty kick puts the Brumbies on the attack only 15m out.
Former Brumby Salesi Ma'afu hammers Jesse Mogg with a massive shot, crunching the Wallabies hopeful. That would've stung.
Kickoff: And we're underway with the Brumbies kicking off.
My offsider Blocka Dutton has picked up that the Brumbies are in tracksuits for the playing of the last post and a minute's silence for Anzac Day. A touch of the Wallabies of old with that look.
The ground announcer's called it - it's a must-win for the Brumbies. Don't know if it's got to that desperate stage just yet, but a victory, especially one with a four-try bonus point, would be highly valued to return to the top of the table.
G'day from Canberra Stadium as the Brumbies look to return to the top of the Super Rugby ladder as they host the Western Force. Pretty nice conditions (ie my fingers haven't frozen on to the keyboard at the outdoor media box) which should make for an entertaining contest. Hopefully the Brumbies play a more expansive brand of rugby than last week's epic 19-all draw with the Reds.
Brumbies v Western Force at Canberra Stadium, Canberra 7.40pm
Head to Head: Played 9 Brumbies 5 Force 3 drawn 1
In Canberra: Played 4 Brumbies 2 Force 2
Last clash: Round 16 2012 - Brumbies 28 bt Force 17 at nib Stadium
The Brumbies have made just one change to the side that drew with the Reds 19-19 on Saturday with prop Scott Sio to give Wallabies squadmate Dan Palmer a week's rest. The Brumbies will be wary of Sam Norton-Knight taking the ball to the line off Alby Mathewson. The giant-slaying Force have already upset the Reds and Crusaders with huge defensive efforts.
Expect another gritty derby. The Brumbies have conceded the least points per match in the comp. But the Force have conceded 11 points less than the table-topping Brumbies over the past six rounds, suggesting Michael Foley's style is starting to yield results.
Tab Sportsbet: Brumbies $1.14 Force $5.25
Tip: Brumbies by 6 points

PARIS (Reuters) - France's government is ready to negotiate with retailers on Sunday-trading laws, though not on late-night shopping, after two retailers decided to stay open despite the threat of legal action.
Unions, trying to defend the 35-hour work week, are pitted against some retailers and even some employees who want to increase business at a time of record unemployment and stagnant economic growth. Retailers Leroy Merlin and Kingfisher-owned
"The (Sunday-trading) law is a kind of machine that churns out lawsuits," Budget Minister Bernard Cazeneuve told Europe 1 radio. "Given that there are some employees who want to work and shoppers who today want to shop, could we not try to find some kind of path to an appropriate response?"
His comments echoed those made by a junior minister for trade, Sylvia Pinel. "We have inherited a kind of regulatory 'millefeuille'," she told Sunday newspaper Journal du Dimanche, referring to a layered French cake and the different trading regulations that apply in various districts.
"We will now work with sector professionals to address the question of Sunday trading," she said.
Apparently referring to a separate legal ruling on Monday that ordered LVMH-owned
"Flexibility is possible via employee-management talks but reforming this law is unnecessary... It is always possible to wait till tomorrow to make a purchase," she said.
No one at Leroy Merlin, Castorama, the prime minister's office or the Elysee Palace of President Francois Hollande was immediately available to comment.

Brockman Ruins Things. They All Ruin Things. Magic 94 – Bucks 85
Category: Recaps
|Jon Leuer, F 7 MIN | 0-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -3
The Jon Leuer experience came to a grinding halt because of foul trouble. What a sad day for Wisconsin. A sad day for America. Once Leuer shows Skiles that he can play adequate defense without fouling then his playing time will be limitless. The sooner the better. I've had a really bad headache all day and Jon Brockman's 17 minutes only exacerbated my problem.
|Shaun Livingston, PG 29 MIN | 5-13 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 14 PTS | -15
Tonight's loss was to the Magic was both similar and different than the last loss to the Magic. Both losses came after the Bucks held a large lead in the fourth. In the first one, the Magic buried the Bucks with a three point barrage. This time the Bucks just couldn't convert in the paint. There was no better example of this than the many layups Livingston had to alter to get the ball above Dwight Howard's reach.
|Brandon Jennings, PG 31 MIN | 4-20 FG | 4-5 FT | 4 REB | 5 AST | 14 PTS | -14
The effort and energy seem to be back. Also back: the long twos and generally bad shot selection.
|Stephen Jackson, SG 12 MIN | 1-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -10
Part of being professional is saying the right things. Stephen Jackson does that more or less in his Stephen Jackson way which is to say not at all. The other part of being a professional is doing the right things. Playing a mediocre, underwhelming 10-20 minutes every game is not exactly that.
|Jon Brockman, F 17 MIN | 0-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 PTS | -25
|Tobias Harris, F 16 MIN | 3-6 FG | 2-2 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 8 PTS | +8
Harris is capable of averaging 20 points or more if he ever gets consistent, heavy minutes. His penchant for drawing fouls, efficiency and willingness to play in the post would have a great asset late in the game especially after Dwight Howard's fifth foul.

This will be my last post until Boguie comes back(if he comes back this season), because I think my opinions are becoming redundant.. BJen and SJax were combined for 5-26 and 2-11 from 3pt.. As usual the rest of the team was efficient (44%) yet overmatched.. I am excited at the possibility of a future front court of Harris, Leuer, and Bogut.. And I think Bjen had 14 points
@JustinNixon Things are sad.
Why don't Brockman try some of those trick shots in a game, it can't get any worse for him…
why does brockman even play? he shouldnt even be touching the court
why does brockman even play? he shouldnt even be touching the court and we've got him out there guarding the best center in the NBA and he's 6-7…as for Jennings I've lost all hope, he's done trying and caring and is just as pathetic as his boyfriend Jackson at this point
it is kind of amusing that Jon Brockman can hit a shot from the upper deck in the Bradley Center but not a 12 footer…
at one point with injuries happening to Gooden, Tobias and Maybe LRMAM? the injured egos of Jack and possibly Brandon Jennings and big guys getting in foul trouble Sanders, Leuer, Ersan I thought the Bucks may have had to suit up Joe Wolf to guard Dwight Howard, they went with Brockman instead tho.
Then for a second I thought about what would happen if Skiles was runnin the point?….how about this lineup….Skiles, Livingston, Delfino, Ersan, Leuer/Sanders wit Beno, Dunleavy and Joe Wolf comin off the bench? u gotta admit thatd be damn entertaining to watch
@Teddddd shoot, let's see if Moncrief has anything left in the tank!
@jeremyschmidt Have you heard any insider word if the the missed game by Luc was discipline or injury? i read one thing out of Orlando that said it was "effort-based." Even if, I like that Skiles holds players accountable BUT as I have said before you have to play your studs (sad, we have to say he's one of them on here) in a market like Milwaukee.
@jeremyschmidt I don't think Skiles has control over this team anymore, among other things going wrong, it starts with leadership & I think Skiles has lost it.

Flood Plains
Flood plains are the areas of land adjacent to rivers that are regularly inundated with water when the river floods. Due to the Monocacy River, which runs through the park, flood plains are an important landscape feature at the battlefield. At the time of the battle floodplains were utilized as farmland and there were few areas of native plant-life along the rivers. Today, there are large forested areas along the rivers that act as a buffer between agricultural fields and waterways. These buffer zones reduce the amount of erosion along river banks and absorb nutrient and sediment runoff from neighboring fields.
Did You Know?
Amphibians play an important role in the stability and diversity of the park's ecosystem. The American Toad is one of the many different types of amphibians that can be found while hiking some of the streamside trails at the park. More...

As the losses build and the frustration grows it can be difficult to see the bigger picture. So Capitals coach Adam Oates and general manager George McPhee met and talked for a few minutes on Friday with that theme in mind.
It was an appropriate time and topic with the New Jersey Devils still in town this week for a rare two-game series at Verizon Center. Few teams in the NHL have been more consistent over the last 20 years. And it was an ingrained culture that allowed them to accept and implement a different approach to hockey last season. Oates, an assistant coach there the past two seasons, helped first-year head coach Pete DeBoer usher in a far more aggressive system in New Jersey – once a bastion of conservative play.
The stars may have changed over the years. From Brian Gionta to Paul Martin to Scott Gomez to Zach Parise just last summer, the Devils have lost their share. Only goalie Martin Brodeur and veteran winger Patrik Elias remain from those heady early days. But the way the organization does business? That's been passed down. Some team rules put in place when Hall-of-Fame defenseman Scott Stevens patrolled the blueline remain in effect, according to Elias.
"The culture has never changed [in New Jersey]," Oates said. "And that's one of the things I talked to George about, what the system will allow us to do every single night the car's gonna run itself. And we just have to make sure that we don't derail it."
Oates insists he didn't have to convince McPhee. Washington's general manager was there at the gestation when Devils team president Lou Lamoriello began building the teams that won Stanley Cups in 1995, 2000 and 2003 and made it to the finals in 2001 and again last season. New Jersey has missed the playoffs just twice since 1990 – the year after McPhee retired from the team after an injury-plagued finish to his own NHL career.
Lamoriello has always been a hands on presence. He is unafraid to express his unhappiness if a player is "cheating" as Elias put it. That relentless attention to detail filters down through the coaching staff to the players. At least that's how it's supposed to work in theory. Last year – much like Washington right now – Newark wasn't such a happy place. The Devils started the season 14-13-1 and were in 12th place in the Eastern Conference on Dec. 10. A second consecutive year out of the postseason appeared like a possibility.
And yet, DeBoer and Oates stuck to their guns. New Jersey finished 34-15-5 over its final 54 games, earned a No. 6 seed and eventually went to the finals. Some things never change even when everything else does. But do the Caps have the gumption to do the same? They had no training camp, a compressed schedule and now just 32 games left to fight out of the conference basement with a 5-10-1 record. There is an opportunity here to let the season slip away without a fight.
"First of all, you're gonna question certain things no matter who you are. Not everybody goes into it right away," Elias said. "But more and more guys will eventually and once you do you're gonna have success. Everyone. Not just as individuals, but as a team and it's just the most important. You can sense there's certain place over there that they're still hesitant."
New Jersey has already played the Caps twice this season. It won 3-2 in overtime on Jan. 25 and again on Thursday by that same score thanks to a third-period rally. The Devils see Washington groping through the same process they endured a year ago. That doesn't mean the Caps are headed to the Stanley Cup finals. They'll be fortunate to make the playoffs at all.
"They have a new coach and it's a shortened season and [Oates is] a smart, smart hockey guy," New Jersey forward David Clarkson said. "It takes a little bit of time. We went through some bumps in the road last year with the new coach, but I think once you get through those hurdles and bumps in the road you come out a better team and we showed that by how we did."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin has eliminated about half of the state's backlog for handling unemployment benefit claims.
The workforce development agency tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that 4,700 requests for jobless benefits filed before December 10th are still waiting to be processed. That's just over half the backlog of 9,300 cases from last October.
There was a big increase last fall in the numbers of claims that had to be reviewed by hand for various reasons – and those applicants were waiting for months to get their first benefit checks.
The state has since added over 30 part-time employees to process claims – and they're chipping away at the remainder of the backlog. Those are cases in which applicants under-reported their incomes, either on purpose or by mistake.
Officials say the most complicated cases take hours to handle – and in other cases, the state must make sure that recipients exhaust their state benefits before getting federal extensions.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
The Alabama Department of Correction has canceled an inmate escape notice
after recapturing the man Tuesday afternoon.
Inmate Tommy Goleman, escaped from the Loxley Community Based Facility and
was determined missing around 5:55a.m. during an institutional count.
Goleman had last been seen at 3:30a.m. on his assigned bed.
All appropriate law enforcement agencies were notified and a search for
Goleman was started. Authorities confirm he was tracked and recaptured by ADOC
K9 units from Fountain Correctional Facility.
Authorities say Goleman was found in a swampy area near Cabinet Shop Road
and County Road 64 approximately 2 miles from the facility. After recapture, he
was returned to Holman Correctional Facility.
Goleman was sentenced out of Mobile County on April 23, 2013, to a three
year term for theft of property. Goleman's sentence was set to expire in
January 2016.

Merferd (R) began his debut on a desk that I remember my Dad putting in my bedroom when I was seven back in the 61, But he did not trully evolve until he began to appear in all my school books beginning in high school. From there Merferd followed me to seminary and 'somehow' would happen on all my textbooks, and notes there as well. When I fell in love with my wife and we began to date and marry and have children Merfered really came into his own ending up on a napkin with a word of encouragement and the tip tucked in every time.

As promised last week when I showed some inspiring DIY tables, I'm back to walk through how I built my own DIY coffee table.
After finishing decorating our master bedroom, we treated ourself to a new vintage-styled metal framed bed. This meant that we had to get rid of our old second-hand Ikea Malm bed.
Whilst taking it down, I started to get some ideas for how the wood could be reused for a rustic look coffee table. If I messed up, I hadn't wasted any money so there was nothing to lose!
Due to the dull winter days, it's been a struggle getting enough light into the house to take some photos. We had a break in the clouds this weekend and whilst the sun was shining I took advantage. I'm so excited to finally share my first DIY project with you.
The first step was to detach the bed slats and remove all of the heavy duty staples. Ten finger-busting minutes later I had a stack of wood that needed sanding and cutting to size.
I measured out the floorspace I wanted my coffee table to take up and began cutting the bed slats to make up the shorter and longer sides. To add strength and stability, I also cut some thinner pieces which were used as vertical uprights.
Starting at one corner, I nailed the two pieces together and then used wood glue to secure the vertical joint.
Working my way round, the other three corners were nailed in place and I had completed the first layer of the table.
The three remaining upright posts were then glued in place. At this point, I could begin to see the height and floorspace the coffee table was going to consume. In hindsight, I should've measured this up front so I knew before I started building but luckily I was happy with it anyway!
Unfortunately, in my excitement of seeing my creation take shape, I forgot to take any more 'in progress' photos. However, the process was pretty simple and basically meant just nailing in the other cuts into the uprights until it was built up to the top.
The lid was built with the remaining bed slats and it rests on top of the four verticals in the corners.
In my head, I had envisioned the rustic / reclaimed look so I stained it with walnut wood stain and added black metal ring handles which I bought from eBay.
I love how the edges don't match up perfectly. It looks rustic and you can tell that it's handmade, I like that.
There's some colour peeking over the top…
I painted the inside of the coffee table (chest?) a bright yellow to add a pop of colour every time you open it. It reminds me of the warm glow from a cartoon treasure chest!
Here's a close up shot of the detail. You can see the hammer dents and nails I added to create imperfections in the wood. I love how deep and rich the colour goes on the knots in the wood.
I certainly know that next time I build something, I'll be taking photos all the way through!
What do you think of my DIY coffee table? Does this inspire you to work on your own DIY project?

Started with a Nelf hunter on a PvE server. Round about lvl 30 rolled a Tauren shammy on the same server. Hunter made it to 43, shammy to 29 before I strolled over to a PvP server when a friend asked me to come try it. Those two are exactly where they were 6 months ago when I took the leap to PvP.
I started with a gnome warlock who I ran with exclusively till lvl 35 (casual player), when TBC launched. I left the lock parked in the DS inn and rolled a draenei mage. A buddy and I were going to roll with dual mages...he fire, me frost. We pacted only to play those toons together. So, I needed a toon to play when we weren't logged on together. I wanted to try the draenei starting zone again, so I rolled a pally. After a couple of months, the pally just hit 37, the mage has been relegated to bank toon at level 24...and jewelry-supplier... The other day I got the urge to try something different...I guess WoW will pull chocks before I ever get to end-game. I now have a 10 priest, a 10 hunter and a 10 female dwarf warrior. I keep hearing how rare they are (and I've never seen a player female dwarf either) so I had to do that last one. The pally I play until I get myself so bogged down somewhere soloing I have to rez at the spirit healer, or the ??horde are too heaby in the zone I need to play in, then I switch to one of the alts for a while to let things in the pally's world calm down. It doesn't take lonk to level a toon to 10 anymore. Hour maybe two depending on class/zone/race. I just wish 30-40 was quicker.

The current project is a library website. There is a meeting of the minds when working for a library, because we are all committed to providing information on a universal basis. We recognize that this is essential to a free society, and a free mind.
It meant the world to be able to work on a library website. Because libraries CARE about getting the word out to everyone. The New Library Web Site is up and running as of January 2014. Here is the link to the new website for Nelson Poynter Memorial Library. It took close to three years to develop. I could not have worked with better people; Dean Carol Hixson, Dr. Casey Frechette, Mr. Berrie Watson, Tina Neville, and Deb Henry. An extraordinary group of people, both in terms of technical expertise, and simply, great as human beings.
That means, taking into account: Accessibility. Mobility. And Localization. In other words, building websites without a presumption of a privilege of health or wealth. Websites that are bandwidth-greedy are available only to those with the privilege of wealth. Websites that are not built with accessibility in mind are available only to those with the privilege of health. And those that are built without regard to localization are available only to those who speak English. Knowledge should be available to all. Through websites, advancements for inclusion, multicultural and global perspectives, and community engagement become reality.
Dr. Frechette had organized data into a grid-like structure. In order to help the teams visualize the site with the grid system, I set up a small website so that the design team could understand the structure as it related to one of the early goals of the website (incorporate a carousel and have it feature prominently in the site).
Each of us on the site architecture team found ourselves developing or customizing plugins and scripts in order target certain areas for testing. Dr. Frechette was drop-dead amazing in his customizations of certain plugins, as was Mr. Watson in his customization of mail-to scripts.
Theme work requires multiple iterations as development keeps pace with developments in the major platform itself. A significant amount of time is dedicated simply to keeping current, lest deprecated code freeze up the new site.
When developing websites, you can not forget the users. They need a place to practice without fear of breaking something.
Support documentation also needs to be developed. This is one early prototype.
Another example of an early prototype for support documentation.
This site had a Google Map embedded within the navigation. We learned later that the content of Google Maps was not accessible to assistive technology, and started to investigate other possibilities for maps.
This site had a map with wireless hotspots that became visible when a mouse was run over the map. This was in the days before we understood that websites that rely on mouse functions are not accessible websites.
The use of iframes present great problems to those who use assistive technology to access a site. So, we experimented the incorporation of feeds through javascript, but found that it would often cause the page to hang. For that reason, we did not revisit the incorporation of feeds into the website until we adopted the dynamic platform of WordPress.
Now, we have learned how to use iframes to advantage when we do NOT want assisitive technology to be burdened with the content, and to provide duplicate, and alternate content available in alternative formats for any content in iframes that is critical to students. Great thanks to the people at Ask-A-Librarian.org who developed these widgets in close coorporation with our accessibility and language needs.
Now that we have gone to WordPress as a platform, we revisited incorporating feed from variouis sources. The platform is much more stable for this.
Currently, only the data streams from the library facebook page have been incorporated into the site, but others may follow.
We are finding that Google Analytics Dashboards are a great way to create fine-grained, customized reports for each of the departments within the library.
Analytics is particularly challenging in library websites, as they tend to incorporate pages that live not only outside of the content management system, but in other domains.
Google Tag Manager has been an incredible asset in allowing us to track events, such as clicking on outbound links.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland's
Local banks and foreign lenders servicing the Irish economy have shut branches and shed thousands of jobs since the crisis hit in 2008. Ulster has already made hundreds of redundancies and last year announced a second round of job cuts involving the departure of 950 staff. It had cut 1,000 jobs in 2009.
The latest redundancies were delayed by an IT failure at the bank last June, which cost Ireland's third-largest lender tens of millions of euros in compensation after salaries failed to appear in accounts and customers' household bills went unpaid.
Ulster said on Thursday it was reviewing its 226 branches, which are spilt between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and expected to be able to provide customers with further details of the closures in the next few weeks.
It said it would close around 20 branches and sub offices in Ireland this year as a result of the review.

This Week's News
With focus on its new strategy, AMA set to shape a better future for health care
A brief new video shows how the AMA is leading medicine to a future that's better for patients, physicians and the nation. The video offers perspectives from physicians and medical students about the AMA's role in medicine today and in the future.
Having reached its 165th anniversary earlier this year, the AMA is celebrating its long history but looking to the future. The AMA's strategic plan announced in June positions it to make a lasting impact on some of the most important issues in health care.
The AMA's five-year strategic plan, outlined in a recent speech by AMA CEO and Executive Vice President James L. Madara, MD, aims to ensure that enhancements to health care in the United States are physician led, advance the physician-patient relationship, and ensure that health care costs can be prudently managed.
The plan focuses on three key areas:
- Improving health outcomes
- Accelerating change in medical education
- Enhancing physician satisfaction and practice sustainability by shaping payment and delivery models
Watch the video to learn what AMA members and leaders say about how the AMA will help shape a better health care future.
AMA members also are welcome to share their thoughts about the AMA's new strategic direction through a brief online form (AMA login required). If you're not an AMA member, join today to be a part of the AMA Equation.

Trails to Utah and the Pacific: Diaries and Letters, 1846-1869
Integration into American Memory at the Library of Congress
Introduction | Descriptive records | Page-turners | Marked up text | Linking from records and text to images
For this collection, the image files are mounted at Brigham Young University (BYU) by the Harold B. Lee Library. The search and browse interface for the collection at Brigham Young University* is supported by CONTENTdm digital library collection software. The collection includes five categories (source formats) of material: manuscript diaries; printed volumes; prints and photographs; maps; and biographical notes for the diarists.
The service copies at BYU for the collection's prints and photographs are JPEG images; for maps they are MrSID compressed files. The published trail guides are available as sequences of page images through CONTENTdm's compound document view. The biographical notes are marked up as simple HTML files. For the diaries, the focus of the collection, two views are available at BYU: page images and transcribed text through a page-turning interface built using CONTENTdm; and a transcription as a text-only PDF file.
Descriptive records were exported from CONTENTdm for each category of material and delivered by BYU to the Library of Congress as flat, tab-delimited files. The full text transcriptions of the diaries were delivered marked up according to an XML DTD using a subset of TEI-Lite tags and encoded as UTF-8 (UNICODE).
Preparing the Descriptive Records for American Memory
CONTENTdm supports collection-specific element sets, with collection-specific configuration for indexing and labeling; cross-collection searching is supported through mappings to simple Dublin Core. Based on sample data, the Library of Congress chose to receive five sets of descriptive records, a set for each category of material, with slightly different but rich element sets. The five record sets were merged into a single database (using Microsoft Access). The mappings to Dublin Core provided by BYU served as a guide in this task. For the diaries, only the work-level records were used; the page-level topic terms and names assigned with care by staff at BYU and its partner institutions are searchable with the full text. Since American Memory search results display a title rather than a brief record, independently meaningful titles for the diaries were formed from the diarist's name and the dates and the title from the MARC record (usually "Journals," "Diary," or similar). A sample constructed title is "Young, Joseph. Diary and accounts, 1848-1855." The same title was embedded in LC's copy of the diary transcription to ensure consistency in the interface. For each diary, the URLs for presentations through CONTENTdm were replaced by URLs for LC's presentations of the same work. Other minor local modifications were made globally for compatibility across American Memory collections. Selected elements (fields) were then exported and tagged for indexing and labeling within American Memory.
Creating Page-Turners for American Memory
Because it was not technically feasible to link from text displayed at the Library of Congress to a specified page through the CONTENTdm page-turning interface, the Library of Congress used its own system for page-turners. Links to individual image files at BYU were used in the data structure in place of references to local files. The varied and inconsistent page-numbering on the manuscript diaries proved a challenge for both Brigham Young University and the Library of Congress. One item has three different sequence numbers on many pages, one possibly contemporary, and two different sequences applied later by curators or conservators. Other items are really collections of letters and each letter has an individual sequence. The correspondence of page-references in the transcriptions with sequence locations in the page-turner was achieved through a mixture of information compiled at BYU prior to loading compound documents into CONTENTdm and harvesting the HTML source for the navigation frame in the CONTENTdm page-turning display. Where numbering visible on the pages was consistent (or relatively consistent), the Library of Congress used that as the basis for support for jumping among pages in its page-turner. However, in some cases, it was deemed less confusing to use a one-up page sequence instead.
Preparing the Marked Up Text for American Memory
Versions of the diary transcriptions marked up in XML were also delivered to the Library of Congress. This allows users to search and display the full text through American Memory, and link from the text to the corresponding page image. Staff at the Library of Congress converted the TEI-Lite XML files automatically to SGML. This was necessary because the existing tools and program code used by American Memory were acquired and developed to work with SGML -- before the World Wide Web became commercially popular and XML was defined. The conversion included two major functions: replacing the XML treatment of empty tags with the appropriate SGML treatment; and conversion of characters outside the 7-bit ASCII set to corresponding SGML entities (from the standard character entity files usually used with TEI-Lite and the American Memory DTDs). Then, guided by an earlier mapping developed for the Sunday school books marked up by Michigan State University and presented in Sunday School Books: Shaping the Values of Youth in Nineteenth-Century America, and by BYU's display treatment in the PDF files for other TEI-Lite tags, tags were mapped to support the equivalent functionality provided by the American Memory system for documents marked up in the American Memory DTD. The transcripts were divided into "chunks" using the higher-level <div> tags, those that corresponded to months, or years, or major sections. An automatic table of contents was generated from the headings of these divisions. For each page, a link to the page-turning interface was provided. The elements and attributes used by BYU to assign broad topical terms (e.g. "religious life" or "diseases") to pages and provide normalized forms of personal and geographic names were used to construct a set of "added terms" to be displayed as a separate paragraph in square brackets at the end of the relevant page or diary entry. These terms are indexed for seaching with the full text. The transformations to perform the mapping tasks and prepare the files for indexing with InQuery are programmed in the Omnimark programming language, which recognizes the structure of the DTD. These tasks are run in batch mode before indexing,
Linking from Descriptive Records and Transcripts in American Memory to the Page Images at Brigham Young University
Bibliographic displays for these books in American Memory provide links to two presentations of the texts via the Library of Congress. The thumbnail links to the page-turning display; although the code and structure of this display is at the Library of Congress, each embedded page image is retrieved from BYU. The link under the thumbnail links to the table of contents generated automatically at the Library of Congress from the marked up transcription. This serves as a menu to individual chunks of the overall work, usually months in the diaries, but including other miscellaneous elements (e.g., accounts, genealogy, and extraneous sections). The individual sections incorporate links to the page-turning interface for each page; these links are constructed from numbers assigned to each diary and page sequence numbers identified in the marked up text. Links at the bottom of each bibliographic display for a diary provide access to the CONTENTdm page-turner at BYU and the PDF text-only view of the transcription.
The two views of the transcriptions, at the Library of Congress and at Brigham Young University, are generated from the same underlying markup but the resulting presentations are distinctly different. This provides an excellent demonstration of the combination of markup that describes the structure of the document and the use of a stylesheet (or equivalent transformation) to control online display based on the structural markup. At BYU, each book is presented as a single text-only PDF file. This is convenient once downloaded, but may take a long time to download on slower Internet connections, and provides no link to the page images. A single downloaded file can be stored for future reference. The American Memory presentation uses the markup to divide the work into smaller chunks and construct a table of contents "navigator." This is useful for skimming a work, provides chunks that are individually faster to display, and supports linking from the text transcription to the page image. Searches of the full text of the entire collection return a chunk from a work rather than the entire work.
