ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Josh Donaldson, Chris Young and Josh Reddick all homered and the AL West-leading Oakland Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the chasing and slumping Texas Rangers with a 5-1 win Sunday.
Oakland took a commanding 6½-game division lead with two weeks left after the final regular-season series between the AL West's top two teams. The A's have won five in a row and 13 of 16 overall.
Texas is 2-11 in September after beginning the month with a two-game division lead. The Rangers lost their sixth in row, all at home - this was their first winless homestand of at least six games since moving to Texas in 1972.
The Rangers and Tampa Bay are tied for the two AL wild-card spots in a rapidly tightening race. Texas starts a four-game series at Tropicana Field on Monday.

MIAMI, Fla. (AP) - The wife of Monroe County Schools' former superintendent has been sentenced to eight years in prison for stealing from the district.
A judge sentenced 42-year-old Monique Acevedo Tuesday, after she pleaded guilty to stealing $413,000 while she was the adult education coordinator. She must also pay restitution for the entire amount she stole from 2006 to 2009.
Acevedo's attorney had asked for leniency, citing a previously undetected bipolar disorder and an addiction to prescription painkillers. But the judge said Acevedo still should have known it was wrong to steal.
Acevedo's husband, Randy Acevedo, was sentenced last year to three years probation for covering up the wife's crime. He was also removed from his position as superintendent.

Activist investor Carl Icahn has been garnering headlines since his hostile takeover of TWA in 1985, and at 77, he's still making news. This year alone, he has battled Michael Dell for control of computer maker Dell, butted heads with fellow activist Bill Ackman over multilevel marketer Herbalife, and pressed rig-operator Transocean to pay a bigger dividend to investors. Icahn's successful, sharp-elbowed investment style has helped make him one of the world's wealthiest men.
Icahn's $6 billion hedge fund, Icahn Capital, returned outside money to its investors in 2011, but you can still get in on the action through Icahn Enterprises, a publicly traded master limited partnership.
The $6 billion MLP has a concentrated portfolio of about 10 holdings. At $55, the units (as shares of an MLP are known) trade at a discount to the $64 sum-of-the-parts value, based on the company's analysis, which has been updated by Barron's based on the current share price of key publicly traded investments. The units yield a hefty 7%, reflecting a recently initiated $4-a-share annual payout.

The MLP purchased 80% of CVR in a tender offer last May at $30 and has seen the shares rise to $50, resulting in a $1.4 billion gain. The second-largest investment is a $2.6 billion stake in the Icahn hedge fund.
Icahn Enterprises has sought to broaden ownership with a recent $200 million equity offering and an increased dividend. It also recently began publishing an asset value estimate, which makes it easier to understand. Still, the stock probably is better suited to individuals than institutions thanks to limited liquidity. Icahn, who works for a bargain salary of $1 a year, owns 89% of the company.

"There are many companies that are undervalued and badly managed. There's great profit in controlling them or making changes," Icahn told Barron's. "Icahn Enterprises is uniquely positioned to do that because we have permanent capital. We're able to take advantage of opportunities in undervalued companies that others can't do."
ICAHN'S BRASH ATTITUDE and financial acumen have made him one the country's most powerful—and richest and busiest—investors. Bloomberg estimates Icahn's net worth at $18.6 billion, ranking him 38th on its list of the world's wealthiest.
Indeed, last month, he pledged $4 billion of his own money and that of Icahn Enterprises in a counterbid to Michael Dell's buyout offer for his namesake company.

Icahn's hedge fund is up 200% on a gross basis since 2004, including a 12% gain this year through mid-March.
THERE'S SUCCESSION RISK with Icahn Enterprises because it's unclear who—if anyone—will follow him, and what will happen to the company when Icahn retires and, ultimately, when he dies. (The billionaire has no plans to retire.) It's possible that control may pass to his son Brett, 33, who is running as much as $3 billion for the Icahn hedge fund and has racked up a strong record.
Brett Icahn and his investment partner David Schechter are behind a recent Icahn coup, an investment in Netflix, which is the second-biggest winner in the S&P 500 this year with an 80% gain. Icahn Enterprises has a profit of more than $500 million on its investment, now worth more than $900 million.
The net-asset-value calculation employed by the MLP is based on the market values of its largest and most liquid investments, including CVR. However, Icahn Enterprises bases its valuation of Tropicana and Viskase, both thinly traded, on its own estimate of their value, which is higher than their market value. A value of $488 million, or eight times 2012 cash flow, is assigned to the stake in Tropicana. That's $200 million more than the market value of the MLP's interest in the casino operator, which owns properties in Atlantic City and certain regional markets.
If the MLP's calculations are right, shares of both Tropicana and Viskase, a packaging company, are undervalued. Tropicana is potentially worth more than $25 a share, compared with its recent price of $16.
The Bottom Line
At $55, Icahn Enterprises looks undervalued—and it could be worth $64 or more. With a 7% dividend yield, it gives investors a lucrative way to wait around for Icahn's next move.
Some investments may be carried at conservative levels. Icahn Enterprises, for instance, paid $150 million in 2010 for the unfinished Las Vegas casino, the Fontainebleau; the property now could be worth $300 million or more. CVR Energy also could be worth more if the company sold more shares in the MLP for its refining assets, CVR Refining.
At a time when many investors are placing money with high-fee hedge funds and getting mediocre returns, there's a nice alternative in Icahn Enterprises, which trades at a discount to its net asset value. The company has a great record and a proven money maker at the helm who works for just $1 a year.

AMARILLO -- A Potter County grand jury has indicted eccentric millionaire Stanley Marsh 3 on charges involving sex with teenagers, according to documents released Thursday.Marsh, 75, was indicted Wednesday on four counts of sexual assault of a child, eight counts of sexual performance by a child and two counts of indecency with a child.Marsh turned himself in at the Potter County jail Thursday afternoon and was released on $100,000 bail.The indictments are "mere allegations," two of Marsh's attorneys, Paul Nugent and Heather Peterson, said in a prepared statement."There should be no premature rush to judgment," the statement said. "Now that we have notice of the specific allegations, we will commence our investigation, which will be thorough and rigorous. We have great faith in our legal system, and welcome the challenge of exposing the truth, and defending our friend and client, Mr. Marsh."The maximum sentence on the most serious charge is 20 years in prison. Special prosecutor Matt Powell said Marsh would be eligible for probation because he has no felony convictions. Powell declined further comment.In February, Marsh's attorneys settled civil lawsuits involving 10 teenagers who said he paid them for sex.Marsh had a serious stroke in 2011 and has also been treated for prostate cancer. His wife is now his legal guardian.Marsh has been free on bond since November when an arrest warrant was issued in cases involving a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old.At the time, his lawyers issued a statement noting that the families of the accusers had filed civil suits "seeking millions of dollars" and had waited to come forward with criminal complaints until after Marsh's stroke.The indictments returned this week include four additional accusers who were not part of criminal charges filed in November.Marsh is probably best known for the Cadillac Ranch art installation along Interstate 40 near Amarillo, which features 10 Cadillacs buried nose down. The cars, including a 1948 club coupe and a 1963 sedan, were gathered from junkyards, private collectors and used car lots.This is not his first time in criminal court. In 1998, Marsh pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of unlawful restraint and criminal trespassing and served 10 days in jail and paid a $4,000 fine. Prosecutors then dropped five felony charges including kidnapping, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and indecency with a child.In 1996, Marsh settled a lawsuit with a youth who said Marsh sexually abused him.In the latest case, Powell, who is the Lubbock County district attorney, was appointed special prosecutor after Potter County's district attorney recused himself.In the civil suits, the plaintiffs said they were teens when Marsh gave them cash, alcohol, drugs and, in one case, two BMWs, to have sex with him during secret encounters at his office.

Don DeLillo presents a novel about words and images, novelists and terrorists, the arch-individualist and the mass mind. The novel centers on Bill Gray, a famous reclusive writer who abandons the novel he has been writing for many years and enters a world of political violence, Semtex explosives and hostages locked in basement rooms. Mao II is Don DeLillo's 10th novel. It won the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1992.
Thought by many to be the best thriller novel of 2012, this book was a wildly successful tale and considered by culture writer Dave Itzkoff to be the biggest literary phenomenon of 2012, excluding the Fifty Shades of Grey series. A thrilling crime novel, it is also a story of the unknown that goes on behind closed doors.

The Sexiest Things You Do Without Trying
It doesn't necessarily take a whole lot of effort to get your guy going. Nine men spill the things you do that drive them wild — without even knowing it.
By Gena Kaufman
When you let him be him
"This one might only happen with ten years under your belt, but I love the way my wife still loves and encourages my interests even though she may not understand them. It's sexy because it shows the maturity and support in our relationship. And then I get to come home happy and excited, like after a great ride on my new bike, and I get pumped up all over again just telling her about it." — Matt S., 40

Knocking China with shocking phones and mocking tones
This week began with a story that has become a stalwart of lightweight modern journalism: someone was killed by a computer. It's a provocative and, let's face it, often entertaining concept that has inspired many sci-fi writers and filmmakers from the 1950s through to the late 1970s. Of course, in fiction, the solution is for a …
Mostly true
"...practically all the sexiest, highest quality and most expensive computing devices we use here are manufactured there. And they do it because we can't."
My iPhone is manufactured in China because labor and components are cheap over there. If labor were that cheap here, it would be built here. We're perfectly capable of building that stuff over here, we just can't afford the labor.
In addition to my iPhone, other, not-so-well-built stuff comes from China (different factories, same country). The power adaptor that fell apart, the kitchen timer that doesn't and the rest of the junk. That's not racist, it's a fact. You get what you pay for. Chinese factories will build it...well or poorly, depending on your cost target.
It's not racist, more like slavery. Chinese workers are, even at the factories that make the high end stuff, paid far far less than a western living wage. And environmental, health and safety regulation is, shall we say, unevenly enforced? Everything comes at a price.
Re: Mostly true
Before you bandy around words like slavery...
"Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation."
Considering people travel long distances to apply for jobs at the Foxconn factories not sure you can genuinely refer to it as slavery. Yes they do work for less - but that happens in our own countries as well and is related to many other things.
On a final note - ask yourself would these people be better or worse off without these jobs?
Re: Mostly true
Have to agree; there are far too many people that think we in Britain "don't do manufacturing".
We do; and on the whole, we do it bloody well. Seriously high quality, a lot of real innovation, some exciting, creative products as well as the more mundane items. Yes, wages are higher, but often the production costs are lower in comparison, because of more efficient processes and fewer issues with the Quality Control.
Just a shame that the politicians and media spend so much effort "talking it down"
Re: Mostly true
Of course one of the reasons why labour in the UK is expensive is the cost of living, of which a significant proportion is related to the cost of housing (buy or rent). Which is why governments spend so much of our money ensuring that this cost remains as high as possible.
Re: Mostly true
Indeed, I've mentioned it a few times, the reason Britain doesn't really make anything below high performance industrial stuff/ high tech science kit is that there's no money in it anymore, if someone was mad, they could build a factory to fab chips and press laptops it's just that there's no point. Giant engines for Jet planes, cars, weapons, industrial robotics, refinery components, satellites etc etc etc and the profit (for the manufacturer) from many of those things in single units is probably comparable to hundreds of thousands of units of things China makes.
Also people often just talk about salaries but forget the other big ticket items, such as power, pollution, transportation, insurance, regulation, pension, land and, tax.
Re: Mostly true
It's irrelevant whether they're paid less (or more) than a Western living wage. What matters is whether their standard of living, however much they are paid, matches ours (which is pretty good, all told). Chinese folks' desire for consumer goods and their ability to satisfy that desire implies many are not badly off at all, even on wages we consider tiny.
Mind you, that's urban China. It's a very different matter out in China's sticks, of course.
Re: Mostly true
>> there are far too many people that think we in Britain "don't do manufacturing
This is an interesting point. Several people who probably know a lot more about these things than I do have predicted that manufacturing is experiencing a slow swing back to Europe and the Americas. This because of rising standards of living in traditional locations such as India and China, such that outsourcing is not as cheap as it used to be (after factoring in transportation etc).
Re: Mostly true
We also lack the number of graduate production engineers required to set up and run such a production line, plus all the parts would have to be shipped from China or other parts of the Far East where they are made, adding delays to the process.
Re: Mostly true
"plus all the parts would have to be shipped from China or other parts of the Far East where they are made, adding delays to the process."
Shipping the parts vs. shipping the finished product - makes no difference - in fact if the working capital is yours, there may be a small advantage in shipping the components into the final sales region vs. shipping the finished product.
In any case there is no real reason why the chips couldn't be made in US/Europe too - as the process technologies change, so new fabs must be built and this provides an opportunity to relocate them to the new regions if it makes economic sense to do so..
Our customers do low volume manufacturing in the UK (measured in 1,000's of units per year, so not troubling Apple :-)) - we got some quotes to do the complete manufacture in Asia - all things added up, it was no cheaper. Your mileage may vary, especially if your volumes are much higher than ours.
Chinese Marketing
China is moving its national policies away from exporting and into internal consumption of Chinese brands and products. I don't think the deadly phone story was aimed at Westerners, it was aimed at Chinese citizens who are looking for a new phone.
The Chinese successfully leveraged their massive population to build a manufacturing infrastructure designed to build things for the Chinese, not the West. Now they have enough paid workers who are experiencing consumption addiction for the first time and they can and are slowly (re)building walls around themselves. Everything up to this point was to allow them to jump start internal Westernesque markets and they've succeeded. We can expect many more anti-Western product stories.
Also, the pilot names thing was funny. I'm really, really sad for the people who perished but there's nothing wrong with having a good chuckle at a tangentially related aspect of the story. Cultures all over the world make fun of how words in other languages sound/mean in their languages.
Re: Chinese Marketing
If the story tells people anything it should be not to buy cheap / crappy chargers - AFAIK it was not an official charger that did it.
Re: Chinese Marketing
Or "don't play with electrical sockets after getting out of the shower"
I really enjoy your articles, please keep them coming. You're like a less egotistical Dominic O'Connor.
As anyone who has been to the east can confirm, their casual racism (which they are oblivious to) puts ours to shame.
there are far too many people that think we in Britain "don't do racism".
We do; and on the whole, we do it bloody well. Seriously high quality, a lot of real innovation, some exciting, creative products as well as the more mundane items.
>> You're like a less egotistical Dominic O'Connor
Dominic is not egotistical, he just knows what he's writing about. I don't.
Re: >> You're like a less egotistical Dominic O'Connor
But you're willing to admit that! Hence a balance in your favor.
Amateur hour
Compared to the East Asians, we're rank amateurs in the racism business. I mean, people actually have to look and sound different from us before we start to think about discriminating against them! Nope, the Japanese are the real masters, with their second-class citizenship for people of Korean ancestry and their endless obsessions about not having peasants in your ancestry. No doubt China has similar distinctions that only the Chinese are even capable of noticing.
Fit an RCD
Perhaps the newspapers should have used the chance to educate people why a simple $20 RCD would have probably saved her life?
- a fool
any one who can write and believe the below paragraph :
In fact, ask anyone from Hong Kong to qualify the use of Cantonese in business and they'll explain to you in no uncertain terms that Mandarin is a modern bastardisation of something or other and generally
is a fool , just like the author, of the article
Re: - a fool
I must disagree, from what I know about Tang dynasty rhyming guides for poetry.
Some of the rhymes no longer make sense in Mandarin.
Cantonese preserves many of the rhymes. Mandarin makes a mess of it.
Somewhere I encountered a poem that makes this point. It's a nonsense poem about about some chickens on a knitting machine, or something like that.
In Mandarin, every character in the entire poem is pronounced in exactly the same way. So the poem is nothing but a string of undifferentiated "chi, chi, chi, chi...".
It makes perfect sense (other than the nonsense story in the poem) when recited in Cantonese.
The story I've ben told is that the "civilized' folks moved South during the Sung dynasty, because of the invasion by "barbarians" from the North. As a consequence, the Southerners preserved the spoken language much better than the Northerners.
Not that language bastardization is a bad thing, look at the glory that is English!
Re: - a fool
You're a good judge of character but a poor reader of text. I am a fool but do not wish to agree with what I was told about Mandarin. I am in no position to believe or not believe it since I lack knowledge.
I once spent 8 days in the PRC on business and I, too, can attest to the utterly horrid nature of the food. Lost 10 pounds in those 8 days on a steady diet of Many Fine Weeds with Rice, I Can't Believe It's Not Pork, Lucky Dog and Nine Lives Cat. After a while one also notices the lack of stray dogs, cats, rats and homeless people and cannot help but wonder if there is a connection.
I had thought that JIT was pretty much invented by Toyota, initially due to their capital constraints and thus their financial inability to afford large inventories of parts and tooling.
Your WWII, backsliding, and inventor changing his efforts to Japan story sounds much more like W. Edwards Deming, who introduced a lot of statistical quality control methods to US industry during WWII. Those methods were largely dropped after the war as US exporters could sell pretty much anything they made overseas, no matter the quality,
Deming famously brought his statistical quality control and his manufacturing/management philosophy to Japan after the war, initially getting their census running and later teaching Japan's rebuilding industries his ideas. In his honor, a Deming prize was established and remains very prestigious in Japan although often unknown in the West.
If you don't think 90% of Chinese output is crap...
...then obviously you've never been to Walmart. Or pretty much any other big retail chain for that matter. It's worth every penny to find something made elsewhere (even elsewhere in the 3rd world) and pay double or triple for it. Unfortunately that's becoming harder and harder to do.
Re: If you don't think 90% of Chinese output is crap...
>> obviously you've never been to Walmart.
True. Walmart still hasn't got around to opening a store in Bromley.
Re: If you don't think 90% of Chinese output is crap...
Where was the computer you're using and its components made?
Re: If you don't think 90% of Chinese output is crap...
Indeed. If you shop at Wallmart (Asda in the UK) or Tesco. That's also where you find beef labeled as horsemeat, too _AND_ that is not a mere coincidence. It is a natural result of the procurement strategy and methodology.
But it is particularly galling that popular journalism likes to play on outdated childhood conceptions about China's manufacturing past while completely ignoring the fact that practically all the sexiest, highest quality and most expensive computing devices we use here are manufactured there. And they do it because we can't.
I would argue that no-one equated "made in china" with crap.
It's all a question on who asks what to be manufactured - if shortcuts are warranted and allowed for by the designer, then shortcuts WILL be taken.
A case in point, pick ANY no-name cheap chinese external hard drive that comes with it's own power supply and an IEC power cord. Prove to me that power cord contains a regulation amount of copper, then YOU plug it into an appliance that is rated at the current STAMPED on the cord.
YOU tell me if it doesn't light up like a christmas tree - in a bad way.
"Outdated childhood conceptions" my arse.
Mixed up
It doesn't help my case that I have just mixed up China, South Korea and Thailand, but I am talking about Western attitudes to the Far East in general.
Yes, but would you really be offended to find out that the average Korean mixes up the British, French, Germans, or Americans? OK, maybe the Americans, but still..
How much do you want to pay?
I work for a firm that manufactures its top end products and buys-in the lower priced models from China.
Our MD tells the story of his first visit to China 15 years ago when he had been given the tour of the factory, the (apparently very good) banquet and then discussed prices.
He was asked quite simply, 'How much do you want to pay for this product?'
There was no lower price - you could price it down and down to be junk, or price it up and up to contain much better parts that would last longer, and might be better put together too.
If only our customers and their customers (the public) would actually pay the higher price - but they don't, they simply don't...
We did at one time...
" And they do it because we can't." is really sad! Where did western innovation go? Once upon a time the west almost had it all...

Most of the time, image editing comes down to simply cropping and rotating a picture or making small aesthetic adjustments.
Pixlr provides an online interface for photo manipulation that is as simple or as comprehensive as you would like. It can be used to crop a personal photo for use on a social network page, adjust colors or reduce redeye effects, or to add an artistic touch to a photo or drawing through the use of filters.
The biggest benefit of Pixlr is its fast time-to-editing. There's no need to create an account or download any software. Just visit http://pixlr.com and get started editing!
Pixlr Express
If you're new to photo editing or just in a hurry, try Pixlr express. It provides a basic interface for photo editing. You can crop and rotate photos, adjust brightness and tone, and even add artistic effects like pixelate and film negative. Once you're happy with your composition, you can save the edited photo to your computer.
Pixlr Editor
Pixlr Editor is a full featured web app for photo editing. Not only can you open a photo for editing, you can create a blank canvas and start on your own masterpiece! All of the features from Express are included and there are a ton of additional effects and tools to choose from!
Pixlr Editor is a multi-layer editing application, which means it works very much like Photoshop. In fact, Pixlr can even open your native Photoshop files!
Edit anything, from anywhere!
Upload photos to Pixlr or just give Pixlr a URL and it will grab the photo for you! Since pixlr runs in the web browser, you can edit your photos and images whenever the mood strikes you.
TechTip : Pixlr's Online Photo Hosting
In addition to providing a great online photo editing experience, Pixlr provides space for you to host your images on the net! Here we'll describe how to use Pixlr's photo sharing service, http://imm.io
- Start editing your photo with the Pixlr Editor
- When you're ready to save your photo, select File > Save
- Select "Share to pixlr imm.io (public url)"
- You'll be provided with a URL where you image has been saved. Share it on Facebook, Twitter, Western Online or your own homepage!

text: 2 Truly Boringpoetryinmotion | 12/06/2011 | See all poetryinmotion's reviews (4)As a fan of the original and really liking revisionist westerns I couldn't wait for True Grit. Unfortunately, despite fantastic art direction the film is flat and boring. Bridges mumbles and slurrs his words so much that you can't understand what he's saying half the time, Damon has very little character with which to play with and the young girl has only one scene which is any good in the entire film. She's not a bad actress, it's the direction which is at fault. This film is bland, slow and immensely boring. It's such a shame. I was so looking forward to it. As for all the awards and accolades, well all I can say is that it's a case of the Emperor's New Clothes - in a year or so I figure this will be a largely ignored film no one really remembers all that fondly. I'll take the original over this rehash any day. The script incidentally seems to ape the original so closely it is amazing that the film seems so drab and such hard work to watch. Thumbs very much down, I'm sorry to say.

The Ticket's Sean Bass and His Sobering Stance on...
By Anna Merlan
Written and directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Jeanne and the Perfect Guy), the disarmingly inventive road movie Adventures of Felix follows the idiosyncratic path of a sweet-natured, gay, half-French/half-Arab youth (Sami Bouajila) who, on being laid off from his jobs, decides to hitchhike across France to Marseilles, where he hopes to meet the father he never knew. And so, kissing his schoolteacher boyfriend (Pierre-Loup Rajot) goodbye (Felix is, among other things, the most same-sex smoochingest movie ever made), our hero sets off with a smile on his lips and a song by that most inimitable of all jazz chanteuses, Blossom Dearie, in his head.
Parsing the long-accepted notion that gays "choose" their families, chapter titles inform us that the various people Felix meets along the way become for him in retrospect "My Grandmother," "My Little Brother," "My Cousin," "My Sister" and finally "My Father." All of this carries a special poignancy as Felix is HIV-positive and on the protease inhibitors cocktail.
This doesn't dampen his spirits, however, nor inhibit his sexual life, which pointedly involves the use of condoms. Trouble of another sort looms via a subplot in which our hero witnesses a racist attack and (being a likely subject to such an attack himself) is terrified of going to the police. Highlighted by an incredibly lively performance by '50s-era music-hall singer Patachou (as the "Grandmother"), it's a film whose surface charm never gets in the way of its profound seriousness about living life to the fullest--especially when one knows it isn't going to be a terribly long one.

I'm a single dad and am just now starting to date again. I'm worried about how this will impact my kids and I'd like to know whether there are any guidelines. Are there rules about how long I should wait before introducing someone to my children? It's been so long since I've dated anyone, what should or shouldn't I tell the person I'm dating about my situation?
Whether you're a single dad or a single mom, starting a new relationship-with all the dating and extra showers and being on your best behavior-can be a traumatic experience. For that reason, you should be careful not to start dating too soon. Your friends and family are probably trying to fix you up, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with being by yourself or with people you have no romantic interest in.

WASHINGTON -- Given the minimal impact of long prison sentences on crime prevention and the negative social consequences and burdensome financial costs of U.S. incarceration rates, which have more than quadrupled in the last four decades, the nation should revise current criminal justice policies to significantly reduce imprisonment rates, says a new report from the National Research Council.
A comprehensive review of data led the committee that wrote the report to conclude that the costs of the current rate of incarceration outweigh the benefits. The committee recommended that federal and state policymakers re-examine policies requiring mandatory and long sentences, as well as take steps to improve prison conditions and to reduce unnecessary harm to the families and communities of those incarcerated. In addition, it recommended a reconsideration of drug crime policy, given the apparently low effectiveness of a heightened enforcement strategy that resulted in a tenfold increase in the incarceration rate for drug offenses from 1980 to 2010 twice the rate for other crimes.
"We are concerned that the United States is past the point where the number of people in prison can be justified by social benefits," said committee chair Jeremy Travis, president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. "We need to embark on a national conversation to rethink the role of prison in society. A criminal justice system that makes less use of incarceration can better achieve its aims than a harsher, more punitive system. There are common-sense, practical steps we can take to move in this direction."
The unprecedented and internationally unique rise in U.S. state and federal prison populations, from 200,000 inmates in 1973 to 1.5 million in 2009, occurred because of policy decisions such as mandatory sentencing, long sentences for violent and repeat offenses, and intensified criminalization of drug-related activity. Stricter sentencing policies were formed initially during a period of rising crime and social change; however, over the four decades when incarceration rates rose steadily, crime rates fluctuated.
The committee evaluated scientific evidence on the effects of high incarceration rates on public safety and U.S. society, as well as their effects on those in prison, their families, and the communities from which prisoners originate and to which they return. The following data illustrate the magnitude of incarceration rates, the racial disparities of incarceration, and societal impacts:
Another major consequence of high rates of incarceration is their considerable fiscal burden on society, the report says. Allocations for corrections have outpaced budget increases for nearly all other key government services, including education, transportation, and public assistance. State spending on corrections is the third highest category of general fund expenditures in most states today, ranked only behind Medicaid and education.
Estimating incarceration's impact on crime is challenging, and studies on this topic have produced divergent findings. However, the report concludes that the increase in incarceration may have caused a decrease in crime, but the magnitude of the reduction is highly uncertain and the results of most studies suggest it was unlikely to have been large. In addition, the deterrent effect of increases in lengthy prison sentences is modest at best. Because recidivism rates decline significantly with age, lengthy sentences are an inefficient approach to preventing crime, unless they can specifically target high-rate or extremely dangerous offenders.
People who live in poor and minority communities have always had substantially higher rates of prison admission and return than other groups. Consequently, the effects of harsh penal policies in the past 40 years have fallen most heavily on blacks and Hispanics, especially the poorest, the report says. In 2010, the imprisonment rate for blacks was 4.6 times that for whites. This exceeds racial differences for many other common social indicators, from wealth and employment to infant mortality.
Incarceration correlates with negative social and economic outcomes for former prisoners and their families, and it is concentrated in communities already severely disadvantaged and least capable of absorbing additional adversities. From 1980 to 2000, the number of children with incarcerated fathers increased from about 350,000 to 2.1 million about 3 percent of all U.S. children. Further, men with a criminal record often experience reduced earnings and employment after prison, and housing insecurity and behavioral problems in children are hardships strongly related to fathers' incarceration, according to the report.
"When ex-inmates return to their communities, their lives often continue to be characterized by violence, joblessness, substance abuse, family breakdown, and neighborhood disadvantage," said committee vice chair Bruce Western, professor of sociology, Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Professor of Criminal Justice, and the director of the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. "It can be challenging to draw strong causal conclusions from this research, but it's clear that incarceration is now a facet of the complex combination of negative conditions that characterize high-poverty communities in U.S. cities. Prisons are part of a poverty trap, with many paths leading in, but few leading out."
The report notes that deciding whether incarceration is justified requires an analysis of social costs versus benefits. This equation should weigh the importance of recognizing the harm experienced by crime victims, appropriately addressing those harms, and reinforcing society's disapproval of criminal behavior. However, the committee stressed that future policy decisions should not only be based on empirical evidence but also should follow these four guiding principles, which have been notably absent from recent policy debates on the proper use of prisons:
The committee did not conduct an exhaustive review of literature on the effectiveness of alternatives to incarceration, crime prevention strategies, or victim assistance programs.
In a supplementary statement to the report, one committee member questioned some of the report's conclusions regarding the effect of incarceration rates on crime prevention and underlying causes of high incarceration rates. However, he concurred with the report's recommendations, which he noted are important and ripe for consideration by the public and policymakers.

95% of the dating tips for first dates that you will find online are NOT written by guys who are actually successful with women in real life.
Additionally, the millions of "dating advice for men" articles written by women will tell you to be nice, listen to her and not make her feel pressured on a date. Why? Women are trying to make you give up your power to them on a first date, so they feel more confident about themselves. Yet, when you do that, the woman isn't interested! Why? Women are mostly attracted to a guy's confidence, so if you behave in a shy, nervous or insecure way or give her all the power, she will be turned off by your weakness.
Women are attracted to the strength in men and turned off by the weakness, so the most important dating tip for first dates is to be CONFIDENT. Don't be a Mr. Nice Guy who pretends not to be interested in kissing her or having sex with her. Create a sexual vibe between you and her by flirting, talking about sex when the moment is right and being a confident, no BS sort of guy.
Why Should You Listen to Me?
My name is Dan Bacon and I'm an actual expert at approaching, picking up and dating women. After sleeping with more than 250 women, I have recently settled down with my perfect girl. Unlike the millions of websites that just post up articles about anything to get traffic to their website, my articles are for YOU. I write for YOU. I want to help you become more successful with women. I've already helped 1,000s of guys to achieve dating success with women and I would be honored to help you too.
I wasn't always good with women. In fact, it is because I SUCKED with women that The Modern Man was invented in the first. Back when I was hopeless with women, I didn't know where to turn for advice because there weren't any sites like The Modern Man. However, through a lot of hard work and many approaches, I began to work it all out and eventually developed a system that I call The Flow. Here's the back story on where I was going wrong with women and how I fixed it:
By using The Flow, I was able to get new phone numbers each weekend (sometimes sex on the same night). If I didn't have sex with the woman on the first night, I would just call on Sunday or Monday and then set up a date for that week. Sometimes, I was dating and having sex with 3-4 women in one week. It's pretty amazing. Eventually, I started The Modern Man and me, Ben and Stu (the two other guys at The Modern Man) began taking guys out into bars and clubs and showing them how to approach women. After doing running those courses and holding many seminars for 3 years, we then put on our most famous seminar of all, called Dating Power, which includes all of the advanced techniques that you would learn on a $5,000 weekend course with us. It's 8 hours of mind-blowing, life-changing video that will give you the power to get women trying to pick you up.
How About You?
How is your dating life going with women? Are you happy with your results or do you need some help? Would you like to begin dating and having sex with many new women or find the perfect girl for you? When you learn from us here at The Modern Man, the choice will be yours. You will have what we call Dating Power and women will feel lucky to be chosen by you.
Don't make the mistake of learning from random articles online that have written by people who are just writing an article to fill up space on their website, or to pull in more traffic. 95% of websites online that provide "dating tips for first dates" are simply making up their tips as they type. Most of the time, their tips are wrong and will do you more harm than good. If you want to be successful with women for real, then you need to be smart about it and only learn from actual experts like us here at The Modern Man. Personally speaking, I have been enjoying amazing and consistent success with women for over 12 years now and I am so glad that I took the time to fix my confidence issues, improve my conversation skills and learn how to have my choice with women. We have 1,000s of happy customers from all over the world and would be honored to help you too. Get started

They will use the money to help pay for the butchering of donated meat. It could provide up to 200,000 meals.
The organization fulfills a unique need because perishable nutrients like meat can be hard to get.
"They get a lot of perishables, but meat and vegetables are the hardest commodity to get, and really the most important nutrient you can get," said Debra Treesh, Executie Director of Hoosiers Feeding the Hungry
"Especially this time, with the economy the way it is, and the corn and the hay problem we have because of the drought, maybe this will be a great time to donate the beef or cattle," said Steve Gill, owner of DC meats.
And the donations don't just go a long way to help feed the hungry, Doners can also write off the market value of the meat they donate on their taxes.
