DSS Accepts Nominations for Second Class of Fellowship Program
Fellowship designed to develop leadership, foster innovation in social service delivery
- Department of Social Services (DSS) Secretary Kristy Nichols today announced a call for nominations for the second class of the agency's Innovation in Louisiana Government Fellowship, designed to develop leadership and foster innovation in social service delivery.
"With funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we are excited to provide training and leadership skills for a second fellowship class in 2010," said Nichols. "The progress made to date by our initial class is promising, and we will continue the process with a new group of individuals, from both state government and community organizations, with innovative ideas and solutions to improve social service deliver and outcomes for Louisiana."
Up to15 fellows will be selected based on nominations. Nominees will receive a $1,000 stipend upon completion of the Innovation and Leadership Academy consisting of a formal curriculum, expert speakers, technical assistance, peer information sharing, collaborative social networking tools, and the opportunity to fully develop their ideas into a complete implementation plan. The Academy operated by DSS and Success Labs will culminate in the opportunity to return together as a group to finalize and share their work and plan for implementation and dissemination.
Potential nominees include individuals within state government or community-based organizations who are committed to improving the social service delivery system. Nominees should have ideas for social service projects that can be developed over the course of the four-month fellowship into ready-to-implement initiatives.
The deadline for nominations for nominations is January 25, 2010, by 5 p.m. Visit
for information, nomination instructions and an online nomination form. Self-nominations are allowed.
Fellows will be selected by DSS leadership and an external Social Services Advisory Board consisting of leaders in government and the community that advises DSS on policy and program issues on a regular basis.
Once selected, fellows will collaborate to develop implementation plans for fellowship projects that have the potential to foster change in business processes that achieve cost savings and increase efficiencies, intervention strategies that achieve improved client outcomes or systems level integration strategies that lead to improved service delivery.
In May of 2009, DSS announced the first Innovation in Louisiana Government fellowship. Twelve nominees were chosen to participate in the Innovation and Leadership Academy and will present finalized group projects at a graduation ceremony in February 2010.

In an open-office floor plan communication opportunities may be high, but it comes at the expense of privacy and environment control. The Brilliant Report came out with some tips to help those struggling to work in such layouts:
For when you need a moment without an audience:
To avoid self-consciousness and self-censoring, find private spaces to talk to your colleagues: go on a walk around the block or a trip to the coffee shop, or slip into an empty conference room.
For when the distractions come too often:
They recommend that workers set aside a block of time each day when they are not to be disturbed. In order to minimize cognitive load, this period should last for a while—on the order of several hours.
And for those tricky times where you need something to block out the background noise, but are unsure of what to replace it with:
Classical or instrumental music enhances mental performance more than music with lyrics. Music can make rote or routine tasks (think folding laundry or filing papers) less boring and more enjoyable. Runners who listen to music go faster. But when you need to give learning and remembering your full attention, silence is golden.

The feeling that you get from crossing things off your to-do list can be addicting. It's easy to get caught in the trap of adding absolutely everything to your system, including things that can be done in two minutes or less. With enough small and insignificant tasks, you can clog your system and lose considerable time and focus. And if you overwhelm your system enough, you might even paralyze your productivity completely.
Management consultant and author of Getting Things Done, David Allen, has a two-minute rule that can not only make your projects move forward incessantly, but it can also prevent many small things from overloading your system in the first place:
If you determine an action can be done in two minutes, you actually should do it right then because it'll take longer to organize it and review it than it would be to actually finish it the first time you notice it.
Thinking of your time in two-minute increments will allow you to get a lot of things done. When you simply do something, you eliminate all of the prioritizing, scheduling and picking of tasks. As Allen put it in a recent interview with Success magazine, the rule "is actually tricking you into making an executive decision about what is the next thing that needs to happen and that's really the training people need." The two-minute rule is in essence, a mind-trick.
When dealing with clients and working with teams, it's not uncommon to hear the phrase "get the ball rolling" when describing project progress. But are the phone calls, emails and scheduling of meetings actually considered work? A costly mistake for many is confusing the idea of being in motion with simply taking action. Our real job, the action, should be to produce the actual deliverable. While motion and action might sound similar, they're not the same. In a recent blog post, entrepreneur and travel photographer James Clear distinguished the two as follows:
Motion is when you're busy doing something, but that task will never produce an outcome by itself. Action, on the other hand, is the type of behavior that will get you a result.
There are many strategies for taking action, but two that have worked for Clear are:
1. Set a schedule for your actions.
2. Pick a date to shift you from motion to action.
Being in motion is not only an inevitable part of getting things done, it's integral. But we can't get lost in it. Clear offers a simple way to refocus by asking: "Are you doing something? Or are you just preparing to do it? Are you in motion? Or are you taking action?" Don't get caught up measuring progress by steps you've completed. In the words of ten-time NCAA National Championship winning coach John Wooden, "Never mistake activity for achievement." Instead, be relentlessly focused on the end-goal. Motion will never produce a final result. Action will. Read the rest of Clear's blog on motion vs. action here.
Starting a new project is an exciting experience that often requires new ways of thinking. However, when faced with multiple competing deadlines, we can be quick to treat a project like a process for the sake of efficiency. This could prove to be detrimental not only to the new project, but to existing processes and worse – to the overall growth of an enterprise. In Startup Leadership, author and professor Derek Lidow shares the dangers of confusing projects with processes:
Confusion between projects and process stifles growth and destroys value, causing a great frustration among many entrepreneurs…Whether their mission is to make money or to create social good, everything an enterprise creates is the largely the result of its projects and processes.
Lidow summarizes the major differences between projects and processes and some important ways that they relate to one another:
Have never done this before.
Do the same thing repeatively.
Goals are about creating something new or about implementing a change.
Goal is to create value by repeatively performing a task.
Project objectives and plans can be changed by whoever gives the project team its mandate and resources, provided the team also agrees.
Processes can be successfully changed only with significant planning and investment (a project is required to change a process).
Significant leadership is required to plan and execute a successful project.
Processes are managed, not led, unless they are to be changed.
Projects create change.
Processes resist change.
Projects and processes are completely different and Derek Lidow stresses that understanding their differences – and how they interrelate – is crucial to growth. In order to grow an enterprise properly, projects and processes must be used in balance.
Learn why Derek Lidow thinks real innovation comes from projects, in his Wall Street Journal article.
Creativity seems like a bolt of lightning that strikes almost completely at random. However, psychologist Robert Sternberg believes that's not entirely true. On Fast Company, Sternberg explains that creativity can be made into a habit:
There are three basic factors that help turn creative thinking into a habit: opportunities to engage in it, encouragement to go after such opportunities, and rewards for doing so.
At a pragmatic level, this might mean finding a community of people who support and encourage your creative work….There is more, of course, to cultivating a habit of creativity than finding a community….Look for ways to see problems that other people don't. Take risks that other people are afraid to take. Have the courage to defy the crowd and to stand up. Seek to overcome obstacles and challenges.
All it takes is a willingness to pursue creativity and, of course, the right environment to let it thrive. It's all about persistence for many of us, he says. Read the full write-up on how to make creativity your new habit on Fast Company.
When's the right time to quit a job if it leaves you feeling hopeless, exhausted, or like you're wasting your time? How do you separate a day-to-day struggle from a larger problem? According to Chris Coleman, there are three clear stages for when it's a good time to quit. Coleman tells us not only the stages, but also provides questions to ask yourself to see which stage you're in, over on the CreativeMornings blog:
The turnover rate in creative jobs is much higher than the national average. A lot of this has to do with the "I want it now" mentality. "I deserve it." "All my friends work at Google." The moral of the story? Don't leave until you have done the job. Ask yourself:
[Ask yourself the] question: Is there anyone here who will tell me the truth when I ask for feedback?
- Most bosses hate to give feedback. If you want to know how you're doing, ask.
- Don't settle for mamby-pamby answers. You're looking for specificity and a neutral, open conversation.
- If there's no one who will tell you the truth, go.
Knowing when it's time to go and when it's time to suck it up (because you likely still have a lot left to learn) can be hard. Coleman's three stages — from competence to judgement and finally to influence — provide us with some nice stepping stones. Best of all: her numerous example questions can help you identify which stage you're at (and whether you really should call it quits).
Get all of the stages and valuable questions to ask yourself on the CreativeMornings blog.

It started innocently enough, this idea to let the boys play with a plastic nativity set. I thought it would be a nice distraction while we read Christmas books and a chance to reinforce the story of Jesus' birth. But before we made it through the first few pages, there was trouble.
I did the parental nod toward my husband and subtly shifted my eyes over to Colt, our youngest son, who had an angel hanging out of his mouth and was shaking his head from side to side. I tried to not make a big deal out of it since it was family time – a time when we generally try to stay positive. So, we kept reading until our middle son, Benjamin, swiped a donkey and a shepherd from our oldest son.
I barely had time to lecture Benjamin on the need to share before I saw him knocking over the wise men and heading for the baby Jesus to get the other bad guys.
"Let's not use Jesus for violence," I said. "That's not the kind of thing he teaches."
A few more pages and the book ended. We pulled out the words to The Friendly Beasts, an old Christmas carol that talks about the gifts the animals brought to baby Jesus, and we took out wooden figures that the boys could use to act out the song. Somewhere between the cow offering her manger and the sheep bringing wool for a blanket, I noticed blue swaddling clothes hanging out of Colt's mouth. I did the infamous finger sweep.
"You can't chew on Jesus," I told him while I checked for teeth marks in the wood. Thankfully there were none, so I wiped off Jesus and put him back in the manger. He was only there for a few seconds before he went missing.
"Great," I said, less than thrilled. "Where is Jesus?"
Then, I saw him. There, in the middle of the scattered Fisher Price nativity set and the jumbled wooden figures, was our Jesus in blue swaddling clothes.
Right there in the chaos of my little family. Unfazed and solid as ever.
"Can we play again tomorrow?" Benjamin asked.
"Absolutely," I said. "Absolutely."

Osgish is a command line shell for OSGi. It is based on the Readline Library, Jmx4Perl, as the OSGi backend, and Aries JMX as the OSGi Management layer. It is different than other OSGi shells, as it is implemented in pure Perl and provides unique features like wildcard support, context-sensitive command line completion, syntax highlighting, bulk lifecycle operations, advanced query facilities, and remoting via HTTP. It uses jmx4perl and Aries JMX OSGi bundles for accessing the OSGi container remotely.
Jmx4Perl provides an alternate way of accessing Java JEE Server management interfaces that are based on JMX (Java Management Extensions). It is an agent-based approach where a small Web application deployed on the application server provides HTTP/JSON-based access to JMX MBeans registered within the application server. It is set up from a handful of Perl modules, which can be integrated seamlessly in your own programs. It also includes a Nagios plugin, check_jmx4perl, a jmx4perl command line tool for remote JMX queries and operations, and a readline-based JMX shell j4psh, with context sensitive command completion and syntax highlighting.

Kasparov not guilty of "illegal protest" during Pussy Riot trial
On Friday a Moscow court acquitted Gary Kasparov of participating in an "unlawful protest" last week outside the Pussy Riot trial. The court didn't trust evidence brought by the Moscow police, and decided to declare the ex-World Champion not guilty. Kasparov might still be charged with "biting a police officer".
Kasparov giving a statement to the press after the acquittal today in Moscow
As was announced Thursday night on his Facebook page, Kasparov had to be at the courthouse at 11:30 AM on Friday. He was being charged of "unlawful protest", for which there's a maximum fine of 300,000 rubles (about 7,500 Euro) for individuals since a new law approved early June raised fines 150-fold.
Reports falsified
Kasparov and his lawyer came well prepared, as can be seen at the website of The Other Russia. There it is claimed that the police report had been falsified. Under Russian law, someone can only be detained for three hours before being presented with charges.
While numerous time-stamped photographs and videos show his arrest taking place at 3:15 pm, the police report puts it at after 4:30 pm – a blatant lie.
On the left is Kasparov's statement, dictated to an officer, which has "15:15" as the arrest time (highlighted by us).
The statement by the police captain has "16:30" instead (again highlighted by us). Photos courtesy of The Other Russia
According to Kasparov the police needed to fabricate their report to stay within the three hour "arrest-to-testimony" window. Besides, the report also said that Kasparov was yelling slogans such as "Russia without Putin" and that they warned him to stop before he was arrested, but as the YouTube videos showed, he was calmly giving an interview instead.
Verdict: not guilty
After a long day, at 20:45 Moscow time (18:45 CET) the case finally came to a verdict. Before giving the verdict, the judge read out testimonies of witnesses which stated that Kasparov was indeed carried away at an earlier time. She pointed out that the police report was inaccurate and therefore acquitted Kasparov. Applause in the courtroom followed.
The acquittal might actually have been the first not guilty verdict in this type of case, but more surprising was the way it was supported by the judge. Kasparov himself called it "a historical judgement for Russia", talking to the press outside the courtroom. He added that he is going to press charges against the police for illegal arrest, false testimony and slander.
Biting a police officer
Today's verdict was about unlawful protest, but Kasparov still hasn't been officially charged for biting a police officer. This is a much more serious crime as for using violence against a state official one can be sentenced up to five years in prison. The Moscow police department has handed the inquiry to the Federal Investigative Committee.
On Wednesday new "evidence" appeared which makes it even more likely that the police's accusation of Kasparov biting one of their officers is based on a lie. A Russian website published a chronological sequence of photographs showing that the police officer, Lieutenant Ratnikov, already had a small cut on his left hand before he started beating Kasparov.
On the same day Kasparov received support from none other than Soviet-born Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google. On his Google+ page Brin posted a link to Kasparov's op-ed in The Moscow Times, which we mentioned earlier, and commented:
If you haven't followed the Pussy Riot "trial" in Russia, I recommend you read Garry Kasparov's eye opening account of the state of freedom of expression under Putin.
Many celebrities have already spoken out about the Pussy Riot trial and one of them is Stephen Fry. On Tuesday he used wit to support politics in the finest British style:
The part of this report about today's court verdict is largely based on the many tweets by @Ilya Mouzykantskii, a New York Times summer contributing reporter and Stanford student who was at the court today.
Update 23:29: Here's the video of Kasparov's statement after leaving the courthouse and a translation provided by The Other Russia:
I have a strange sensation, it's hard to even find words for it, because my lawyers, friends and I didn't expect anything besides another typical guilty verdict, and when, over the course of so many years, all opposition activists have been inevitably convicted in courts like this, it's hard to imagine that the day would come when the courts could provide us with legitimate consideration. Actually, today was very unusual, because from the very beginning, as opposed to many other previous similar cases, the judge agreed to allow motions by the defense. Moreover, all of the defense's motions were accepted, including those that called witnesses to the stand and those that entered video and photographic material as evidence. Of course, this was a very, let's say, unusual sign, but we didn't understand that it would influence the final verdict so much.
I would like to express my particular gratitude to the journalists who managed to collect so many materials, especially photo and video ones, which were used in the case today and which absolutely had an influence both on the judge and, perhaps, on the people who have influence on the judge. All the same, it was just too obvious. I'd like to thank the journalists who came and appeared as witnesses here today, because it was clear that these people, who were completely different and of completely different nationalities, all said the exact same thing. It seems to me that this left an impression, and it also became obvious that, as opposed to many similar situations, there was no actual case of any sort of event occurring. And the extremely confused testimonies of the two police officers who detained me, which contradicted each other, they of course convinced the judge that their version of events held no credibility.
The result was a full acquittal, and this is a very important step forward. I don't intend to stop here; I want to have charges brought against the officers who illegally detained me. We've already filed the necessary paperwork with the investigative branch for the Khamovniki region. And I hope that this verdict will give us additional evidence so that that my detention and beating will be given due consideration by investigators.
As far as the next case is concerned, the one by Officer Ratnikov about this absurd attack – again, I hope that this today's session will allow us to draw upon video and photo materials. We have very unique materials, basically an entire archive that allows us to give practically a second-by-second account of everything that happened outside of the Khamovnichesky Court. Again, my thanks to the journalists who managed to film all of this, to dig it all up from their electronic devices and even now continue to come forward with different photos and video clips. And I hope that the investigators will act just as objectively as this judge did today, and that I'll be so lucky as to have Officer Ratnikov be convicted of libel.
It's hard for me to say what sort of consequences today's verdict is going to have for the Russian opposition on the whole. I even feel slightly guilty, because until now all of these verdicts have been guilty ones, and so many of my friends are still experiencing this pressure. We know that the widespread investigation of the May 6th events on Bolotnaya Square is still ongoing. But nevertheless, this is a very important step forward, and I'm going to do everything in my power to help those who need defense in these matters, because not everyone is so lucky to have their detentions and the police violence they experienced be covered so fully by the press.

The worst type of dictatorship is the "loose" one, where they let things flow as normal at times but could get Kasparov locked up if they really wanted. If he were found guilty it would make a lot of people really angry, him being found innocent weakens resolve. I don't really think the US or any country is much different to be honest.

I like the three hours limit. Seems like they have way to go to become a proper police state.
Kasparov keeps asking his U.S. supporters to pressure their members of congress to put pressure on 'Putin and his cronies'. However
in the U.S. (which has the highest incarceration rate on Earth), a suspect can be held indefinitely without facing charges. Of course this state of affairs gives them the moral legitimacy to always lecture every other nation about human rights.
"The land of the free!"
California residents could only WISH for their police to be as gentle as those in Russia: http://youtu.be/nXWSgG-KNng (They eventually gave the cop 2 years in prison to stop people from rioting.)
indefinitely? It thought it was 30 days. Bad enough already, of course. Imagine that: these thugs can just pick you up and hold you.
But of course America is widely hated because it is free, so they have to sacrifice some liberty to maintain this freedom. Lol! It's amazing how many chessplayers fall for this nonsense.
Yes, INDEFINITELY. Americans are being carted away without due process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFVQ0HZz2mc
"The land of the free!"
Land of the free guns for everybody too! lol
I definitely wouldn't like to work as a cop in a country (even proud of) selling lethal weapons to just about anybody who walks in the arms shop .... that has to make a huge difference of course for a climate of aggression and for the devastating results of violence. But hey, oth they still have the death penalty then for those poor guys who went a liitle too far with their nice brandnew "toys". Horrible scenario.
Plenty of weapons in Switzerland and Israel too. Weapons aren't the problem - Americans are.
1 year 8 months ago
in Switzerland you can keep your firearm after you've served military service. I think that's actually what the law dictates
Which is worth reconsidering as well. Having served in the military might perhaps provide some experience and, as a result, hopefully more responsibility. At least in those countries they don't sell them to just anybody there who simply WANTS one. In the U.S. however, you can even get guns in pink, especially designed for the safety-conscious modernlady. Hilarious, isn't it?
Although I admit that a pink gun is silly I doubt that there is much gun violence perpetrated by high-fashion ladies!
Even if that might be true, sadly you missed the point. You have two more tries.
Guns in the hands of civilians is what got them their independence from Great Britain. Maybe that is why they put it in their constitution?
Probably yes. Just like those reactionary "tea party" supporters obviously considering themselves still at war, not even knowing what they're fighting against. Alright, they hate taxes because they (probably rightly so) feel incapable of deciding what tax money should be spent on. The majority of Americans should teach them democratic participation, peaceful understanding and common sense. And take abolish firearms since those toys can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
Abolish the constitution of the United States?
No thanks. Also there is no appetite to amend it.
So your statement makes as much sense as saying "abolish crime". IMO Neither is going to happen so we have to hope to teach armed Americans to be more like the armed Swiss.
re: "And take abolish firearms since those toys can be dangerous in the hands of angry people."
And take abolish knives since those toys
can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
And take abolish swords since those toys
can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
And take abolish baseball bats since those toys
can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
And take abolish fertilizer and diesel fuel since those toys can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
And take abolish religion since those toys
can be dangerous in the hands of angry people.
You wouldn't have to be so angry if you finally understood that firearms in the hands of civilians cause the absurd and and totally senseless death of many thousands of innocent american citizens every year. Even if you like guns you should be capable of understanding that this catastrophe does in no way compare to a baseball bat. I'm sure you can do it.
And I'm sure that you can see that guns "in no way compare" to bombs made from fertilizer and diesel fuel with regards to destructive capability.
You conveniently ignored that to focus on baseball bats - which was listed as something "dangerous", no one was comparing their destructive potential with that of firearms.
With regard to overall numbers, gun deaths don't compare to automobile accidents. Both are tools that a sane man might choose to have handy and that many sane people have used responsibly.
Either way guns are in America to stay as per the constitution and the lack of will of Americans to amend it. What is fruitful would be to come up with ideas for transforming people's consciousness so that they can be more responsible with their firearms. Throwing around insinuations about the intelligence of people you don't know detracts from any points you try to make.
So, if the self-declared custodians of democracy in the world fail to protect their own citizens from possibly being killed deliberately by any mad neighbor, and, in order to achieve that also fail to overcome some (influential?!) of arms industry lobby in their own country, they should at least provide access to affordable health care for mentally disordered people seeking help in acute stressful mood. Which might in fact limit the increasing number of similar tragedies happening due to an utterly outdated amendment (1791) in their own constitution.
Because of the 9/11 terrorist attack 11 years ago around 3,000 people died, whereas ever since 140,000 Americans were killed and a whopping 2 million got injured because of their fellow countrymen's right to keep and bear arms. Similarly, in the U.S. more civilians get killed by 'private' firearms then all american soldiers in combat missions combined.
well, the americans are quite right to hanging on their guns: it's the last thing that is protecting them against these ghouls from Washington.
Ok let's change the subject to the US. In the USA (which has a large afro american population) only TERRORIST suspects can be held indefenitely and this (new) law is still hotly debated. I don't mind the law but chances are it won't stand long.
As for the large incarceration rate, not all people can handle that much of freedom. Freedom doesn't mean that crime should go unpunished (and that's why Pussy Riot should do time)
The USA is still one of the best countries in the world to live in and some youtube video of a freak accident (the guy was resisting police after a crime btw)
won't change that.
The countries who "get lectured " just have it coming.
"Freedom doesn't mean that crime should go unpunished (and that's why Pussy Riot should do time)"
That depends on how serious the crime is, and there are many alternatives between two years in prison and going unpunished.
Holding a SUSPECT "indefinitely' means that the executive branch takes the place of a jury of peers.
And no, you can't see the evidence against them because it is "classified". If you think this is a good thing then it is because neither you nor a loved one have been falsely accused and held under this law. Innocent people have been held and tortured.
Of course this is all proscribed by the U.S. constitution but why let that get in the way? If you don't mind this then you don't mind living in a police state. The U.S. simply changes its strongman every 4 - 8 years.
re: "As for the large incarceration rate, not all people can handle that much of freedom."
Really? So if that is the reason why the U.S. has a higher incarceration rate than Burma, Russia or China then Americans can't handle their freedom as much as those countries.
re: "The USA is still one of the best countries in the world to live in and some youtube video of a freak accident (the guy was resisting police after a crime btw) won't change that."
Really? You have evidence that the man in the video committed a crime? And if he did, what level of crime was it? Perhaps jumping the gate of the metro? Whatever he did he was a suspect and under U.S. law is supposed to enjoy the presumption of innocence until tried by a jury of his peers.
As to his "resisting police" are you seriously trying to compare this level of resistance:
(shown at around 1:39 of this video):
to THIS?: http://youtu.be/nXWSgG-KNng
"Really? You have evidence that the man in the video committed a crime?"
I might give you some evidence after you prove "Innocent people have been held and tortured."
Long live the USA!
I can prove it easily. Per the U.S. constitution suspects are entitled to a presumption of innocence until found guilty by a jury of their peers. Per the Geneva Convention water-boarding is torture. Therefore if the U.S. has water-boarded anyone not convicted of a crime then they have "held and tortured innocent people".
Proof would be an actual example backed up by evidence, not some theoretical exercition.
But anyone who has seen "24" knows that you have to break the rules sometimes. Especially those silly rules from Geneva. It doesn't mean that people in the US have no freedom.
If this boy gets tortured it will be "classified":
"The land of the free!"
That boy made a bomb threat and had a silly hair cut. So he got arrested but there is no proof at all of torture by his captors.
Thats clearly not to compare. In the first you see very friendly arrestment against some resistence from pussy riot and Kasparov. In the second you see one officer is holding an unarmed man thats does nothing and lies helpless on the ground wile the second is shooting him in the back, so this happends in the land of the free, ok it is just how you conciders free then.
1 year 8 months ago
None of that matters. Unless our lord and savior Jesus "S3" Christ deems otherwise, Kasparov is guilty.
1 year 8 months ago
Why bother bringing up S3 when he hasn't even commented on this one? Does his (warped) worldview not conforming with yours hold such importance to you that you have to raise his specter when he's not even here?
Hello guys. I'll tell you what's going on. This news shows that the Russian system isn't as bad as people seem to think. Kasparov's arrest was unnecessary and the court has done a good job.
Of course Kasparov "the hero" knew he would not be jailed for just showing up. However, during his theatrics he bit an officer in the heat of the moment and for that he should, and still might do time.
Right now I am building a face book page in support of the Russian officer asking for a severe punishment of Kasparov. I'll post the link when it's finished!
"during his theatrics he bit an officer"
I don't think that has been proved yet.
You have no evidence that anyone was bitten. You are obviously a hideous troll that should be ignored.
1 year 8 months ago
Imagine there is no USA on the world map,now is Russia a free and democrat country?

Snapper, Onaga – HA
Onaga is a deepwater snapper that grows at moderate rates and becomes sexually mature around seven years of age. It is found in tropical waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and in Hawaii it is found in two distinct regions, the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) and the North Western Hawaiian Island (NWHI) region.
Onaga in the MHI region have low abundance and are considered overfished, while abundance is very high in the NWHI. The latter region is a national monument, however, and closed to all bottom fishing.
Onaga is fished primarily by handlines which cause little habitat damage and produce moderate levels of bycatch. Effective management is in place and total allowable catch limits have been lowered to address the overfished condition of the MHI region.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in snapper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

How to Select
How to select Flex Ducting
Installing flex ducting in a house is very necessary for safe and easy connection of all air ways and corners of the building. Moreover, flex ducting reduces the number of unnecessary elbows thus increasing the efficiency of the system. Selecting the necessary ducting parts and accessories is always complicated, especially for people who don't know what to look for. This guide will help you select the best flex ducting supplies for your home.
An essential part of every ducting system is flexible duct. This is the tube that connects all of the inputs and outputs and provides space for air circulation. To know what type of such ducting you need, you have to size the flex work appropriately. Correct calculations will make the air volume flow through the system properly thus providing every room of your house with fresh air.
Square footage of each room is the first detail to calculate. Next step is figuring out the CFM rating that corresponds to the room's area. CFM is the amount of air that is required per a square meter of the area. This means that to receive proper ventilation, a 50 square foot room will need 50 CFM of air volume. Now, to calculate the flex ducting size, use the online calculator.
When you have specified the ducting size, you may need to calculate its length if you haven't done it previously. Simply measure the perimeter of the room or the area where the flex ducting will be installed.
The next step in selecting Flex Ducting is deciding which construction material to use. The most common types of duct materials are: vinyl coated flex, fiberglass or galvanized sheet metal. Fiberglass offers better insulation, galvanized metal is perfect for industrial and commercial installations and flex ducting features easy installation.
Selecting the right ducting fittings is crucially important. You need to ensure that such fittings are compatible with the flex ducting and in addition to that provide gap and slot free connection. If the air is slipping through the connections, more energy and money will be spent to push it through the system. To prevent such thing from happening, install your ducting and all of the additional fittings with efficiency in mind.
Special devices, such as fans, air-conditioners and coolers, provide the air circulation through the duct system of the building. To select perfect devices for your particular system, you need to pay attention to their power, safety, control options, design and quality.
