With NDSU's 2016-17 sporting calendar drawing to a close, it is time to reflect on the year that was for the Bison. The past season yielded some gripping and dramatic contests on the gridiron, the hardwood and the diamond. As the book closes on an exciting year, here are the top five sporting events from 2016-17.
5. Enderle Hat-trick hero against UND, Sept. 2
A hat trick, the first of her career, from sophomore Holly Enderle saw the Bison pass in-state rivals UND by a final tally of 4-1.
Enderle got the scoring started in the eighth minute with her first goal of the season off of Lauren Miller's corner kick.
The sophomore found the back of the net a second time in the 26th minute to double the visiting Bison's advantage. Less than one minute later, the Fighting Hawks clawed back into the game with a goal from Katie Moller, but Enderle completed her hat trick in the 33rd minute to bury the Hawks.
4. Wrestling knocks off Iowa State, Nov. 6
In a contest that tilted back and forth, the Herd ultimately bested Iowa State University, topping the Cyclones 25-16. NDSU lost the first two matches, but Mitch Friedman, Clay Ream and Andrew Fogarty won the following three matches to give the Bison a 10-7 lead.
The Bison ran up against two nationally ranked wrestlers in the 174-pound and 184-pound matches, allowing ISU to go out in front 16-10. In the first of the final three matches, Cordell Eaton recorded a major decision to bring the Herd to within two points.
Senior Ben Tynan followed up with a pin the 285 pound class to earn six points for the Bison and give them a four point lead.
Fellow senior Josh Rodriguez won the final match of the day with a technical fall to cement the Herd's victory over the No. 14 ranked Cyclones.
3. Seventh inning explosion against Oral Roberts, May 5
In the opening game of a critical series against the leaders of the Summit League, the Bison clipped the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles by a score of 10-7.
Pitcher Luke Lind conceded two runs in the third inning, but the Bison immediately rallied around their pitcher to tie the game in the home half of the frame.
Lind was unable to steady himself, though, giving up three runs in the fifth inning prior to being removed.
Alec Abercrombie homered for the Bison to bring the deficit to two, but Chris Choles, who relieved Lind, gave up a run in both the sixth and seventh innings.
The game turned for the Bison in the bottom of the seventh inning. Mason Pierzchalski knocked in two runs with a single to narrow ORU's lead to 7-4.
Ben Petersen and Logan Busch both walked to drive in runs. Following Busch, JT Core singled to bring home Petersen and Pierzchalski and take an 8-7 lead.
In total, the Bison put seven runners on base and plated five runs, causing three different Golden Eagles hurlers to be used.
The Bison tacked on two insurance runs in the eighth inning to secure the 10-7 win and gain an important win over the Summit League leaders.
2. The Battle at Kinnick, Sept. 17
The Bison football team pulled off a stunning upset over the University of Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium.
After the Herd jumped out to a 7-0 lead courtesy of linebacker M.J. Stumpf's pick six, Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard threw two touchdown passes in the second quarter to give the home side a 14-7 lead.
King Frazier's rushing touchdown with 8:06 remaining in the third quarter tied the game for NDSU. Beathard tossed another touchdown in the third quarter to give the Hawkeyes a seven-point advantage again.
In signature Bison fashion, NDSU cobbled together a 15 play, 80 yard scoring drive, capped off by senior Chase Morlock's touchdown reception.
The subsequent Iowa drive was held to a three-and-out, giving the ball to the Bison with less than two minutes to play. The Bison drove to the Iowa 20-yard line, and kicker Cam Pederson narrowly banged a field goal through the uprights as time expired for the 23-21 triumph.
Iowa, ranked No. 11 at the time and coming off of a season which ended in the Rose Bowl, became the Bison's sixth consecutive FBS foe to go down.
1. Senior Day 2OT Shootout, Feb. 18
On senior day at the Scheels Center, the Bison men's basketball squad got the better of Western Illinois, outlasting the Leathernecks in double overtime.
The game, undoubtedly the most enthralling of the Sanford Health Athletic Complex's inaugural season, featured 20 ties and 14 lead changes.
Fittingly, the two seniors being honored, Carlin Dupree and Dexter Werner, led the Bison with two legacy-defining performances.
Dupree scored 22 points and in 43 minutes. Werner recorded 21 points and four blocks. It was the duo's clutch play down the final stretch that cemented the Bison's win.
NDSU trailed by seven with 2:57 remaining in the second period, but rallied and tied the game on a Dupree bucket with 47 seconds remaining.
In that time, Werner and Dupree were the only Bison players who scored.
Unable to end it in the first overtime, the Bison throttled the Leathernecks 13-4 in the second overtime period. Six of the 13 double overtime points came from Dupree.
NDSU shot 51.8 percent in the game en route to the 100-91 win. Head coach Dave Richman offered touching tributes to his seniors in front of what remained of the 4,696 fans who had attended the game.
With so many fantastic moments from the past year's athletic seasons, here is to hoping that 2017-18 brings many more.

Apple's Beats brand in April unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, a redesigned wire-free version of its popular fitness-oriented Powerbeats earbuds.
Samsung Not Interested in Settlement with Apple over Patent Issues
Samsung has rapidly risen to become the dominant Android device manufacturer and Apple's most significant foe in both the courtroom and the marketplace, but AFP reports that Samsung has "no such intention" of settling with Apple.
"We have no such intention," J.K. Shin, the head of Samsung Electronics' mobile unit, told reporters on Wednesday when asked if Samsung would seek a similar settlement.Yonhap has more on Shin's comments:
"It may be true that HTC may have agreed to pay 300 billion won (US$276 million) to Apple, but we don't intend to (negotiate) at all," Shin Jong-kyun, who heads the South Korean tech giant's mobile and IT division, told reporters. [...]The patent battle between Apple and Samsung is already being played out in courtrooms around the world, with Apple's most significant victory in the series being a $1 billion verdict against Samsung in the United States. Not all of the cases have gone Apple's way, however, with one of the most visible defeats having been in the United Kingdom where Apple was ordered to post public acknowledgements that Samsung had not infringed upon Apple's registered design for the iPad.
While the terms of the settlement were undisclosed, market watchers speculate HTC will pay between $6 to $8 per phone, which would amount to $180 million to $280 million a year.

If we stop commenting on this crap maybe Mac Rumors will stop posting it.
Oh the irony...
Samsung has the money for lawyers. They are larger than HTC, and can afford the fight. I must say though, Apple is becoming a patent troll. On some issues, I side with Apple, but these other claims are absurd.
A patent troll is someone who sits on their patents without practicing them and then sues someone who attempts to use the patented method or technology. You may think apple is overly litigious, but they do practice their own patents, so they are not a troll.
Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Note II have already blown iPhone 5 out of the water, of course I know Apple fanbois are not going to admit this.
That is ironically also a statement that sounds like it's coming from a fanboy.
This thing is going thermonuclear, as predicted.
My money is still on Apple - I don't trust a washing machine manufacturer as a phone maker. :D
I am quite sure Apple isn't interested either in a settlement - 20% increase in prices for Apple from Samsung, Apple is findings other suppliers for its hardware.
This thing is going thermonuclear, as predicted.
My money is still on Apple - I don't trust a washing machine manufacturer as a phone maker. :D
This somehow shows how pathetic Apple fanbois nowadays, they just love Apple, but no facts. Samsung is one of the largest heavy industries on earth today, Samsung even involved in building skyscrapers in UAE and some of the largest container ships today. If you just know Samsung of their washing machine, I suggest you should never travel to UAE or trust any shipping company.
And moreover, your iPhone and iPad has 90% of parts made by Samsung, maybe Apple just designed and made the bodyshell themselves!
When I open up a brand new cMBP or Mac Mini, the first thing I see are two Samsung RAM, so what's happened? Apple trusts a washing machine manufacturer as their parts manufacturer?
Why don't they just invest the budget for legal fees on to R&D, come up with a new product and beat Apple? Guess they're just incapable of doing so.

Adriana Varejão
Adriana Varejão
About the Artist
With a diverse practice comprising painting, sculpture, drawing, installation and photography, Adriana Varejão is one of the most original voices in contemporary Brazilian art. Her work address themes of colonialism, miscegenation and anthropology in Brazil, one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. Infused with layers of meaning, her work contains references to both her personal and Brazilian history. Her varied sources of inspiration range from art history to religious art, from erotic art to decorative art, from wall tiles to ceramics, from colonial iconography to images produced by European travellers, and from natural sciences to cartography. She researches these disparate histories and weaves various elements, from traditional to marginalia, together to evoke often forgotten stories and references.
In Focus
Waves of Dark History Break on an Olympic Pool
In a few weeks, as TV cameras swoop over the Olympic Park in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, viewers will glimpse what looks like a colossal seascape mural encircling the new aquatics stadium.
But what appears to be ancient, cracked decorative tile is actually a scrim of 66 panels of perforated canvas, each 90 feet high - the largest contemporary artwork commissioned for Rio 2016. And the blue-and-white work is steeped in a complicated past that is typical of its creator, Adriana Varejão, 51, the revered Rio artist…
If you look closely, it's not just a seascape, but parts of angels, and other historic Baroque motifs, all fragmented, reordered and turbulent.

Rosenthal call fails, Cardinals lose to Cubs in 11
ST. LOUIS — Mike Matheny reasoned that Trevor Rosenthal had such an easy time in the 10th inning, throwing just six pitches, that even if the St. Louis Cardinals closer failed at the plate he'd still be around to mow down the Chicago Cubs' hitters.
The manager left a couple of pinch-hit options on the bench with a chance to win the game Friday night. That decision was a failure.
Pete Kozma and Tony Cruz went unused, Rosenthal struck out at the plate and then gave up a three-run homer to Welington Castillo in the 11th inning of a 6-3 loss.
"With two outs we made our decision to get Trevor back in and hopefully give our offense another shot," Matheny said. "Trevor had a very efficient inning and he's arguably our best guy in the 'pen."
Rosenthal (0-1) took a called third strike in his second career at-bat, confessing he'd been surprised to get the chance.
"I was hoping we could score a run before my spot came up," he said.
He didn't carry the disappointment at the plate back to the mound.
"Uh no, because I mean, I'm not here to hit," he said. "So it's kind of easy to brush it off and just go out there and try to have another shutdown inning and give us a chance to come back and score some more runs."
On Castillo's homer, he said he just missed enough with location.
"I thought I could elevate. I figured he might be hunting a fastball," Rosenthal said. "Looking at the video, I didn't get it up quite up as much as I had hoped, but he put a good swing on a good pitch.
"Not much you can do about it."
Nate Schierholtz doubled for his fourth straight hit leading off the 11th and advanced on a sacrifice. Starlin Castro was intentionally walked and Ryan Kalish popped out on a bunt attempt before Castillo lined a 1-1 fastball 426 feet to left for his second homer.
"They're all disappointing," Matheny said. "When a team comes back like they did, you hope you can put something away.
"It's just a shame we couldn't finish it."
Justin Grimm (1-0) walked Matt Holliday and Matt Adams on eight pitches to start the 10th but got out of it. Hector Rondon finished for his first career save.
Cubs closer Jose Veras hit two batters and walked another in the ninth. One run scored on a passed ball by Castillo, helping the Cardinals score twice in the inning. Matt Carpenter's bases-loaded sacrifice fly tied it at 3.
Veras has blown both his save chances and allowed five earned runs in 3 2/3 innings with three hit batters and seven walks.
Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija worked seven economic innings for the third straight start, exiting with a 1.29 ERA. He finally got some runs to work with, but was denied a win for the ninth straight outing since Aug. 24 at San Diego.
Ryan Sweeney's RBI single off Carlos Martinez tied it in the seventh and was the Cubs' first run in 21 innings when Samardzija starts. Anthony Rizzo's sacrifice fly off Kevin Siegrist snapped a tie in a two-run eighth.
Cubs pinch hitters were 1 for 18 before the eighth inning when Justin Ruggiano, batting for Samardzija, singled off Martinez, and Mike Olt, batting for Luis Valbuena, singled off Siegrist.
Yadier Molina's RBI single in the second was his 10th hit in 18 career at-bats against Samardzija. He had two hits and is batting .455 (25 for 55) with three homers and 17 RBIs against the Cubs the last two seasons.
Cardinals starter Joe Kelly allowed an unearned run in six innings. He faced the minimum through the first five innings with the help of two double-play balls.
NOTES: The Cubs' appeal of a hit by pitch call on Allen Craig in the ninth was denied. … Castro got a strange assist at SS in the fourth when he staggered and dropped Holliday's towering popup with a runner on first. The ball rolled directly to second baseman Emilio Bonifacio for a forceout as Kolten Wong slid back into first. … Adam Wainwright (1-1, 1.29 ERA) faces Carlos Villanueva (1-2, 4.26) on Saturday. … Kelly has pitched at least five innings in all 31 career starts, the longest streak by a St. Louis starter 25 or younger since 25-year-old Dizzy Dean went 35 in a row in 1935, according to STATS. … Cardinals CF Peter Bourjos made five catches in the first four innings. … St. Louis SS Jhonny Peralta was hitless in three at-bats before coming out in a double switch and is 2 for 31 (.063) on the season, both home runs.

In 1975, Peter Wellnhofer wrote a classic monograph on the Rhamphorhynchoidea. This set of 3 linked works has been the baseline for the study of this group of pterosaurs since then. It is a well organised work with analysis split into skeletal morphology, systematics and Palaeoecology. The texts were originally in German and as far as I am aware, they have not been translated wholesale into English. Recently, I started to translate part 2 for my own use. I would love to publish my translation, which will be a new work, but the original text is not out of copyright until 2025. I can only find paper copy, but I have been told that there is an electronic copy in German. This has eluded me, so I am transcribing and translating from the original text.

The problem in translating any text is the transfer of meaning. There are words in German that can have several possible meanings in English. This also works the other way around. The bulk of the meaning is transferable with a high level of confidence in the result, but there are some areas where the meaning has to be a best guess. This type of translation is often referred to as a Gist Translation. This means that in some cases, the reader may need to refer to the original text to grasp the full meaning of a sentance of passage. It is for this reason that translations should only be attempted from the original documents. Another of Peters texts that I have frequently used is the Handbook of Paleoherpetology, Part 19. This text is also only available in German, so people who are not able to read that language can only look at the wonderful line drawings and be amazed. This is of course, another text that sets the baseline for the study of pterosaurs in general. It is a little dated now, but still a valuable resource. The original text is still available to purchase on the Internet.
Wellnhofer, P. & Khun, O. 1978 Handbuch der Paläoherpetologie. Teil 19. Pterosauria. Stuttgart: Verlag Gustav Fischer.
These texts defined the study of pterosaurs for a whole generation of researchers. It would be beneficial to the subject to have them available on line both in their original German text and in English. The main difficulty is in gaining permission to freely allow access without infringing copyright law. Watch this space!

I am looking for this exact paper. It is a shame that there are no English copies of it. Do you know where I might be able to find an electronic copy of it?ReplyDelete

Clinton v. Trump: How Will the 2016 Presidential Election Impact the Gig Economy?
With the election just days away, some American voters are staunchly committed to one candidate while others remain hopelessly undecided. If you fall into the latter category, consider the candidates' positions on the gig economy and their plans for the on-demand workforce before casting your vote:
Hillary Clinton:
- On the Gig Economy. In contrast to her opponent, Clinton has openly expressed her opinion regarding the gig economy and her plans to address the perceived inequities in the American workforce. In a July 2015 speech, Clinton expressed that the "on demand or so-called 'gig economy' is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation, but it's also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future."
- On Misclassification. Clinton promises to continue the Obama administration's efforts to address the misclassification "issue." She has vowed to take a hard look at what she considers "wage theft" of misclassified employees, and plans to "crack down on bosses that exploit employees by misclassifying them as contractors or even steal their wages." This could have a tremendous financial impact on small business, as well as major suppliers of on-demand workers like Uber and Lyft.
- On Portable Benefits. Clinton has advocated for a system of portable benefits (which would allow self-employed workers to obtain certain benefits that are traditionally provided by an employer, including health insurance, workers' compensation insurance, unemployment, paid leave and sick days) but, so far, has not indicated how such a system would be funded or structured.
- On Tax Policy. Clinton's proposed tax plan would create incentives and provide tax relief for small business and entrepreneurs, including independent contractors. Her plan to "promote strong, fair, long-term growth" will likely come at a cost for successful businesses of all sizes.
Donald Trump:
- On the Gig Economy. Trump has not issued a statement on the gig economy but, if elected, he promises to be the "greatest job producing president" of all time.
- On Misclassification. Trump has sidestepped the misclassification issue, but he plans to eliminate offshoring and reduce foreign competition, which could provide more opportunities to America's ever-growing contingent workforce.
- On Portable Benefits. Trump's tax plan will lower tax rates on business income for independent workers. Trump believes that workers can use the money they save on taxes to pay for their own benefits without the need for a portable benefit system.
- On Tax Policy. Trump has proposed a 15% reduction in tax rates for businesses and an increase in income tax rates for full-time employees. This proposal has the potential to create tax "breaks" or incentives for independent workers.

How does role-based pricing work?
Role-based pricing means that you pay per module depending on each employee's needs. Some of your staff only need to enter time and expenses, while others must handle accounting or billing. Role-based pricing lets you get exactly what each of these team members requires without paying for anything they won't use.
Can you limit access to features within the subscriptions?
Yes, it's simple for the account administrator to restrict access to different features and types of information.
Does the Time & Expense subscription have access to contacts?
No, access to view or create contacts requires a Manager subscription.
Which subscription includes the QuickBooks Online and MYOB AccountRight integrations?
Integrations are handled through the Manager subscription.
If I select annual subscriptions for most of my staff, what can I do if I need to add on interns, consultants, or other seasonal staff?
With Core's pricing, it's easy to accommodate shifting staff numbers. You can simply purchase additional monthly subscriptions for those users who won't be at your business for too long.
Does the Accounting package include all of the other modules? Or, is there any other package that offers all the roles in one?
No, the Accounting package only comprises accounting-specific features. For example, if a given user on your team needs both accounting capabilities and time and expense tracking, you'll need to purchase these two different subscription packages for them.
The same applies to the Manager and Billing packages. So, for example, if you're a project manager, you'll likely need to purchase both the Time & Expense subscription as well as the Manager one. There currently isn't a package that offers all roles in one.

Minimum grade level:
What's the hungriest you have ever been?
I don't mean the kind of hungry where you skipped lunch because you didn't like what your mom packed for you. I mean the kind of hungry where it's been months -- not weeks, but months -- since you've really felt full.
That's the kind of hunger Nory Ryan feels. She's living in Ireland in 1845, and times have been bad for years. Her family has to work very hard just to pay the rent on their cottage, to the English lord who owns the land. Lots of people have already left her town to go to America, where things are supposed to be so much better.
Yes, things have been bad for a long time. But there have been a few things to depend on: like potatoes, for instance. Even when there wasn't any other food to eat, they could always get a little nourishment from potatoes.
Except that now, they can't. The potatoes have been hit by a disease, a terrible blight. What do you do when you can no longer eat the one food that has kept your family from starving?
Discussion Questions
Spoiler alert! Some of the questions contain key elements of the plot. Do not read if you don't want to know what happens!
- How do you feel about Maggie leaving the family to go to America? Is that the right thing to do? Why does she do it?
- Had you ever heard of the Irish potato famine before? What did you know about it? What did you learn through reading this book? What questions do you still have?
- How does the potato famine affect Nory's family? Do you think they will ever be reunited?
- Describe Anna. What kind of a person is she? Why is she willing to give her coin to Nory? Why is Nory unwilling to leave her?
- What skills will Nory bring with her to America? Is that possibly a gift from Anna to Nory?
- Is music important to Nory? How?
- How did you feel when the package Nory waited so long to get is stolen from her?
- To what lengths does Nory go to feed her family?
- What is Nory's most courageous moment? Why?

Some highly paid workers may be getting an extra Christmas present this year: an early bonus.
Firms in bonus-heavy industries like finance, law and consulting typically pay their annual bonuses after Jan. 1, once the firm's (and employee's) previous calendar-year performance can be fully assessed. But now, anticipating higher income tax rates in 2013, some companies have decided to distribute their bonuses by Dec. 31 instead.
At Ares Management, a financial services firm, employees have been told they will receive bonuses in mid-December instead of mid-January. A spokesman for the company declined to comment about its compensation practices.
Paying bonuses early – not more, not less, just early — can save high-income employees quite a bit of cash. That is because a series of tax changes scheduled to kick in at the end of the year will cause income received in 2013 to be taxed at higher rates than income received in 2012.
"It's one of the few things you can do as an employer that'll make employees happy that doesn't cost you anything," said Alan Johnson, managing director of Johnson Associates, a compensation consulting firm.
Mr. Johnson, like other compensation and tax consultants and lawyers interviewed, said he had been receiving a lot of inquiries from firms considering accelerating their bonuses into this year.
"Right after the election, many of our clients started calling saying they were interested in doing this," said Regina Olshan, a partner in the executive compensation group at the international law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. So far only a handful have actually decided to give bonuses early, she said, but others may follow suit if Congress marches toward Dec. 31 without voting to undo planned tax increases.
"I can promise you I'll have calls on Dec. 20 asking, 'Can I accelerate everything in the next two weeks?'" she said.
Smaller, privately held firms – particularly private equity companies, known for their tax-planning acumen — seem to be taking the biggest interest.
Publicly held companies often have a bigger administrative and legal burden if they change their bonus calendar, especially since many of them have employees abroad under different countries' tax systems. Public companies also appear to be wary of the appearance of lowering their tax bill, even if the actions are completely legal, particularly if they received taxpayer-funded bailouts during the financial crisis.
"There's so much contemplated regulation in terms of compensation these days," said Steven G. Eckhaus, a partner at the law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman. "You can just imagine the public reaction given the fact that bankers are still doing relatively well relative to everyone else. Most people don't have the luxury of being able to change when they get their compensation, let alone receive that kind of bonus in the first place."
One of the risks of paying bonuses early is that companies do not know for certain whether they will hit their annual targets, which for accounting, legal and administrative reasons are often supposed to be tied to the bonuses they pay out.
After all, in the last few weeks of the year, clients may not pay, the market may drop precipitously, or some other calamity may arise, and companies have no easy way of clawing back bonuses they have already given out.
At publicly traded companies, if performance-based bonuses are distributed and the company does not hit its targets, the company itself can face adverse tax consequences.
One solution, said Mr. Johnson, is to pay part of the annual bonus before Dec. 31, and then wait to pay the rest of it until after the new year, when the company has had a chance to go over the complete books more thoroughly.
Paying bonuses early can certainly impose administrative headaches.
Even though, for accounting reasons, companies usually know by December roughly how much money they're going to pay out over all, they usually have not yet determined how that bonus pool will be distributed. At bigger firms, the process for allocating bonuses takes about six weeks, according to James F. Reda, managing director at James F. Reda & Associates, a division of Gallagher Benefit Services.
Usually, accountants and tax lawyers advise their clients to defer as much compensation as possible until after the new year.
That's partly because there is a chance that their income will fall into a lower tax bracket the following year. Additionally, receiving income on Jan. 1 rather than Dec. 31 also means that they can hold on to their money longer before having to hand over some of it as taxes to the government. Income received on Dec. 31, 2012, is taxed by April 15, 2013; taxes on money received on Jan. 1, 2013, may not be payable in full until April 15, 2014. The taxpayer can use that extra year to invest the money and earn a return on it.
Accountants' and lawyers' advice is different this year because tax rates are expected to rise on Jan. 1, particularly for those with higher incomes.
If tax rates for high earners return to their Clinton-era rates, as President Obama wants, the top marginal income tax rate would rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. That may not sound like a big jump, but when you're talking about large sums of money, the increase can be substantial.
A $1 million bonus taxed at the top marginal rate, for example, would incur an additional $46,000 in taxes ($396,000, instead of $350,000).
And that calculation factors in just one of the tax rates scheduled to rise at the end of the year. Earners in the top brackets are likely be hit with other tax increases in 2013, including the expiration of the payroll tax cut and a new Medicare surtax created by the Affordable Care Act.
Clients have been calling their tax and compensation lawyers about accelerating other forms of income, too. Ms. Olshan said she received a call from a client who expected to be fired next year and wanted to know about requesting severance early.
Compensation lawyers and consultants noted that companies have received "false alarms" about Washington's plans to raise taxes in the past, so companies may be dragging their feet about speeding up the bonus cycle this year.
"This is about the fourth time we've gone through this tax scare, where people say there's some catastrophic tax thing coming," Mr. Johnson said. As a result, he thinks most firms will not revise their bonus calendars. "Some may regret it deeply in a few months, but I think most won't get around to it."

Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security
House of Commons
41st Parliament, Second Session
An Act to amend the Correctional and Conditional Release Act
(Fairness to Victims)
December, 2014
Background of Canadian Criminal Justice Association
The Canadian Criminal Justice Association (CCJA) welcomes the opportunity to present this brief to the Standing Committee regarding Bill C-479, an act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. The members of the Association have some concerns with the approach of this Bill, and therefore ask the members to seriously consider whether this bill should be tabled or voted down. We detail our concerns here and look forward to your questions and comments.
The CCJA is one of the longest serving non-governmental organizations of professionals and individuals interested in criminal justice issues in Canada, having begun its work in 1919 and having testified before this committee on numerous occasions. Our association consists of nearly 700 members and publishes the Canadian Journal of Criminology and Criminal Justice, and the Justice Report. We also organize and host the "Canadian Congress on Criminal Justice" every two years.
Legislative history of Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA)
This is part of a series of amendments to the CCRA, which was first enacted in 1992 to replace and expand upon the Penitentiary Act. In the past, CCJA has argued that piecemeal efforts at reform ought to be delegated to a Commission that would look at the Act as a whole and make changes to both the CCRA and the Criminal Code of Canada. This would facilitate the proper balancing of public protection and reintegration, and particularly address the growing cost of penitentiary confinement in Canada.
This proposed Bill emphasizes one particular approach to corrections that is strictly punitive. The approach to corrections that is missing is known as restorative justice, which involves a very different perspective on prisons, sentencing, and parole.
Particulars of Bill C-479
This Private Member's Bill essentially addresses two policy areas of the CCRA. The first concerns parole eligibility dates for inmates and parolees whose conditional release has been revoked or terminated. The second general area addresses the rights of victims to attend parole hearings and be informed of decisions regarding conditional release (ETAs, UTAs, day parole and full parole).
Section 2 of the Bill changes the existing two-year hearing requirement following a denial of one's first application for parole for any inmate, to a five-year review for any Schedule I offender. Schedule I is outlined in the CCRA and relates mainly to violent offenses, including those leading to life sentences.
This same principle also applies to any parolee serving a Schedule I offense whose conditional release is terminated or revoked. Their next parole hearing will be four (4) years after the date of revocation; and a full five (5) years on subsequent reviews of their case by the Parole Board of Canada.
If an inmate refuses or waives an upcoming parole hearing without a "reasonable explanation" (not defined in the Bill), the Board may cancel the next review hearing.
The same is generally true of detention hearings under Section 131 of the CCRA. In Section 3, the Bill proposes that detention hearings would have a two-year setoff from the initial hearing instead of a one-year setoff. The initial purpose of the one-year hearings was to provide some impetus for the offender to complete more programming and fashion a more acceptable release plan to the Board. This approach rejects this analysis and opts for a more punitive approach.
The second area of this Bill relates to victim involvement in parole hearings, victim's rights to receive information pertaining to an inmate's correctional plan, and the specifics of his or her conditional release. As an Association, we are unclear why victims need to know about the specifics of an offender's Correctional Plan, and what particular expertise victims have to evaluate an offender's institutional or community progress. It is already in policy that the Parole Board of Canada must consider victim statements during a hearing; and it is already law that the Board must consider a request by victims to attend a parole hearing. This expanded involvement of victims fits neatly into a retributive paradigm, not one which emphasizes offender reintegration.
Section 6 of the Bill gives victims the right to additional information about an inmate or parolee's correctional plan and progress in meeting that plan. At least fourteen (14) days before any type of release, victims will be entitled to make a request for information about a conditional release, including dates, conditions, destination, and whether the offender will be traveling to any destination "in the vicinity of the victim." Again, there is no language in this Bill about healing, victim-offender mediation, or restorative approaches to corrections in Canada.
Finally, the Bill puts forth new language clarifying when and under what conditions a victim or the victim's family may attend parole hearings. Here, the new language requires the Board to make "every effort to fully understand the need of the victim" to attend the hearing. And if the Board decides that the social chemistry of such attendance is disruptive, it shall provide teleconference or one-way closed circuit video feed at the victim's request.
The Bill requires that victims' opinions as to release shall be considered, including the submission of any audio or video recording in addition to live testimony or a written statement. CCJA is concerned that these requirements essentially replay the dynamics of the original sentencing hearing.
Finally, the Bill provides information to victims about the date of an inmate's temporary absence, any conditions attached thereto, and the destination of the offender. Previously, this information was subject to the discretion of the Chairperson of the Parole Board based on consideration of the privacy of the inmate. No evidence has been put forward that there has been widespread abuse of this discretion.
Problems and Prospects
Bills such as these must be examined for their anticipated costs to imprisonment in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, the average adult inmate cost, per annum, in Canada now approaches about $357/day or about $130,000/year (Statistics Canada, 2012). Without a clear list of benefits we must be concerned with furthering the costs of our correctional system.
The second issue that must be addressed is reintegration policy. This Bill, because of its punitive features, runs counter to efforts to reintegrate offenders back into Canadian society – especially aboriginal inmates who now make up 20% of the federal penitentiary population (Statistics Canada, 2012). In order words, the language of this Bill will have an adverse impact on Aboriginal inmates. It will further undermine efforts to reintegrate all offenders into the community by severely penalizing inmates who are initially rejected for parole or whose conditional release is revoked or terminated.
Many offenders who are returned to prison have had their conditional release revoked or terminated due to technical violations of their release, such as drinking alcohol, or failing to obey the directive of their parole officer. Indeed, the data indicate that 75% of violations of conditional release are for technical violations (2054/2730) [see Department of Public Safety, 2012]. Even among revocations involving a new criminal offense, approximately 82.5% of these are for non-violent crimes (558/676). The consequence of the violation – a four- year and then followed by a five-year hearing setoff – means that the punishment meted out for a technical violation of parole will far surpass the severity of what offenders would normally encounter in the community had they not been on Federal parole, but instead faced a regular court hearing or were on probation supervision. Meting out 4-year sentences for this behavior is very much part of the punitive approach encompassed in this Bill.
There is a good deal of literature regarding restorative approaches to corrections which emphasizes healing, community compensation (service), and victim-offender mediation (Elliott, 2012; Ross, 1992, 1996; Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, 1996; Makin, 2012; Pfeferle, 2008; Rudin, 2009). None of this literature is reflected in this Private Member's Bill. Rather, this Bill is largely punitive and incorporates further de facto, mandatory sentences. No evidence has been put forward that these proposed measures will reduce crime, hinder recidivism or significantly benefit victims and communities.
The Canadian Criminal Justice Association cannot support C-479 due to its various flaws, questions about its impact, unanswered questions about its potential costs, and a general concern about its focus – retribution to the exclusion of healing and restorative approaches. Finally, there is the adverse racial impact of this Bill which is not considered.
Under the auspices of Parliament, our Association would be most willing to undertake a comprehensive examination of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, with a view toward balancing both public safety and restorative approaches to corrections.

The first time I had beef cheeks was at Le Coq au Vin, a Schmancy French restaurant in south Orlando. It was at a Beaujolais Nouveau release party and was one of the courses in a 5 course meal–each course paired with a "young and exuberant" Beaujolais Nouveau wine. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it kind of looked like pot roast, and I am All About a good braise. I took a bite and Mama Mia (or should I say Mon Dieu?) it was the most meltingly tender, incredibly flavorful bit of heaven ever.
But I was eating face. Cow face. Awful. Offal. And I was Loving It. Loving It!
The magic of offal, the bits and pieces left over after all the prime cuts are gone–the organs, glands, shins, tails, ears, feet, face. I have come around to seeing the beauty of these meats. That, out of necessity, folks learned to coax Goodness and Flavor from what Anthony Bourdain terms The Nasty Bits. Some offal has even risen to Prime Eating, too. Paté de foie gras? Offal.
Cheeks are fatty and full of flavor, and aargersi–the author of this recipe–smartly pairs a very fatty meat with bold flavors and an acidic bite from pickled onions. The marinade is kind of molé-esque with nuts and coffee, and my mouth is literally watering thinking about putting these tacos together. I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with her original marinade or go off on my own little tangent as I am sometimes Wont To Do, but I do know that I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into these little guys. The Beloved chose this recipe, so he's excited too.
If you'd like to cook along, here is the original recipe for Barbacoa Beef Cheek Tacos on Food52.com. Please join me next Tuesday, June 5 (or possibly the following Tuesday, the 11th, if face is hard to track down in The Triangle) for the Offal Conclusion.
So what about you guys? What was your first experience with offal? Or are you on a strict No Offal diet?
Let me know, and have a lovely day.

When things turn bad, it seems to snowball! In my last post I was saying how happy I was that everything was going so well (Yes I know that post was a while ago at this point, sorry bout that), and it was, until I tried to lay the Lilly out to match the flower to the stem. It simply would not work because the stem was not thick enough. The problem is, I was so concerned about wrapping the stem around the back, I never considered how high it would need to be on the front. Whoops! I intend to lay the Lilly on top of the cross now instead of inside the cross so the stem needs to be higher in front in order to match up with the bottom of the Lilly. Here's a pic that I hope will help you understand what I am saying.
The top of the stem needs to protrude over the front of the cross to connect with the Lilly, so all that jubilation I felt was all for nothing and the stem went in the garbage can.
There is a simple solution, double the thickness of the stem! so I did. I glued a couple pieces of 3/4" Mahogany cut it out and all is good. Wait a minute, that's not necessarily true! I did glue it together and cut the shape out, that all worked great. Where I made another boneheaded mistake was when I fit it up to the cross. I was concentrating on getting the cross to fit in the middle of the stem, I simply didn't realize I had the stem upside down when I marked it!!! DOH!!! Needless to say I cut it out, and when I went to fit it to the cross, well it was upside down. That's stem number two in the garbage can. I was rather ticked of at myself when that happened and was not thinking about taking pictures of the blunder at the time, so the stem is already at the dump, and I have no pictures to show it.
I knew when I took this project on that there would be hurdles for me to overcome and yes the now ever popular "Bumps in the Road" however I am not discouraged, just more determined to get this right finally. I know I can do this, I just need to stop making these lame mistakes. It's embarrassing.
I understand it might look like I had given up on the Lilly cross, but I promise I haven't, I simply have been busy with a bunch of new orders that I had to get done with before I can get back to the Lilly. I'm actually hoping I don't get any orders for the next few days so that I can get this very frustrating project complete. I'm off to make yet another stem, wish me luck!

The Whistlewood Notes: Rantings and Ravings of a Mad Musician on Improvisation, Mythology and Fluting in the Woods
January 20, 2012
Music Myths - The Greeks
Pan is one of the most well known Gods to play the flute or at least a flute family instrument. I'm not even going to try to list the songs named after him or connected to him. "Syrinx" by Debussy is one of the most famous. The story most often told with this piece today is that there was a nymph named, shockingly, Syrinx. Pan, the randy little goat, liked her. A lot. She was less interested in him, but those Greek Gods didn't really believe in taking no for an answer. So she ran away from him and prayed for help. Just as Pan was catching up with her, she was transformed into a bunch of reeds (the Greeks got a lot of their plants that way). Pan heard the wind making music in the reeds and promptly invented the panpipes or syrinx, an instrument made of reeds of different lengths. Debussy's "Syrinx" is the song Pan first played, according to the current program notes. Except that wasn't the original story. "Syrinx" was first written as incidental music for a play about Cupid and Psyche. Psyche was a mortal woman married to Cupid, the son of Venus the Goddess of love. Venus disapproved and separated the pair leaving Psyche pregnant, homeless and very unhappy. Just as she is about to commit suicide, she hears music. She follows it to find Pan who talks her out of killing herself and sends her off to work things out with Venus (a messy process but things work out in the end). That is the moment this piece was written for, when Pan leads Psyche out of despair and sends her to be initiated by Venus. In the Homeric Hymns, Hermes the trickster God plays the panpipes and tells the story of Syrinx and Pan to put a hundred-eyed monster to sleep. Hermes also invented the lyre but gave it to Apollo to make up for stealing the Sun God's cows (when he was 3 days old).
The aulos is a reed instrument from ancient Greece but it is sometimes mistranslated as flute (for no good reason). It sometimes has one pipe and sometimes has two but always uses double reeds like an oboe. The aulos was considered a wild instrument that inspired uncivilized behavior. It was linked with the worship of Cybele, a rather fierce Goddess the Greeks never felt comfortable with. When Perseus killed Medusa the snake-haired Gorgon, her sisters wailed for her. Athena the Goddess of wisdom was so fascinated by the sound, she invented the aulos to imitate them and taught Apollo to play. One day she saw herself playing in a mirror, and/or Hermes made fun of the way her mouth looked, and she threw the pipes away. Some people argue this shows Athena originally came from outside Greece and was modified by her new culture.
Apollo is the official God of music for the ancient Greeks but he doesn't invent any instruments in the myths. He gets lessons on instruments or is given them as bribes but does not create any himself. There was once a music competition between Apollo on the lyre, the instrument of civilization, and Marsyas on the aulos, the instrument of barbarians. One version of the myth says Apollo won and Marsyas was punished for presuming to challenge the God. Another says that Marsyas won and was punished for showing up the God. Apollo is the God of harmony, order and structure. He cares about using music for civilization and education. He is in charge of all formal music that follows the rules and is not too stimulating, too sad or too emotional.
This brings us to Dionysus. He is the God of wine but he is also the other God of music. He is in charge of all the instruments too wild for Apollo and all music from countries other than Greece. His music stirs up passion and ecstatic behavior that can't be controlled. He is in charge of music for grief, for drinking, for relaxing or just for pleasure (arguably the most dangerous music of all according to the Greeks). Dionysus is also in charge of the theater and all the music used to set the mood in plays (the origins of both opera and movie music).
The Muses are a group of Goddesses (sometimes 3, 7 or 9 depending on the myth) in charge of all the arts. They are each associated with different forms of poetry, science, math and music which were all considered related subjects by the Greeks. Euterpe is most often put in charge of the aulos (which is nearly always called a flute when related to her) and instrumental music in general. The Muses were protective of their arts. In some myths, they train up heroes to be wonderful musicians (such as Orpheus). In others, they have competitions with other musicians and tear them apart, win or loose. Artemis the Goddess of the hunt leads the Muses in circle dances and Apollo conducts their choirs.

What happens when a Classically trained flute player runs off to write music in the woods and improvise music at Renaissance Festivals? She's gone Feral, that's what! Flutes, whistles and all things that turn air into art.

Here are two great recipes for Peanut Butter Cookies. Both are fast and yummy.
One is for the chocolate lover with a little more of a sweet tooth and the other is perfect for the traditionalist.The love of licking the bowls and spoons, and the inability to wait for cookies to cool, are traits that have been passed down from generation to generation all around the world. Things are no different in our house, which is why baking cookies with the kids is one of my favorite things to do.
First, the chocolate/sweets lover recipe……….
I saw this recipe on the Food Network and knew my husband would love it, which he did! The twist is the cocoa powder and the jam that gives it a sweet and chocolaty kick.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) non-dairy butter (earth's balance), at room temperature, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
- 1/2 packed cup light brown sugar
- EnerG Egg Replacer for one egg (1-12 teaspoon replacer plus 2 tbls water).
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (or any kind you like)
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, sieve together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup of sugar, and light brown sugar together, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the egg replacer and vanilla extract and mix until blended. With the machine running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until incorporated.
Put the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl. Form the dough into 1/4 cup-size balls and roll in the sugar. Arrange 5 balls of dough, evenly apart, on each baking sheet. Using a round 1/4 teaspoon measure, or the thin end of a wooden spoon, make a hole in the center of each ball of dough, about 1/2 to 3/4-inch deep. Spoon 1 teaspoon of jam into each hole. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes until the dough has spread and the surface of the cookies are crackled. Cool for 5 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes. Arrange the cookies on a serving dish and serve.
This recipe is a straight forward Peanut Butter Cookie recipe that everyone is sure to enjoy!
- 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup additional to roll cookies
- 1 stick non-dairy butter, at room temperature
- Ener-G Egg replacer for 1 egg.
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Beat in egg replacer to mixture. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Stir in salt, baking soda and flour until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet and flatten with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

I have not posted in a while because we have not had internet access, but to be honest I'm happy about that because we've been too busy and having too much fun to think about 'Jake's progress'.
We have gone from doing 3 Vit B shots a week to 2 per week- Jake feels this is enough support for him at the moment.
Still keeping up with healthy diet and nutrients.
Jake is feeling good, energetic, really happy. His skin is improving every day.
His face is a lot more chiseled as it was before the withdrawal. His hair is still growing thick.
A few moments we've had since I last posted-

cheers to the new year * new jersey child photographer * mikifoto
i have to admit that i am so happy it is a new year. i warmly welcome 2012. last year was too much of a roller coaster for my comfort level. we sold a house in FL, moved to NJ, entered a new school, rented a new home, got hit by winter storm after winter storm, purchased a house and moved again, changed the boys' school again, encountered a massive hurricane and then got slammed with an october winter storm. what a crazy year! and through all of that, my business was quiet. very quiet. i had to start all over in a new market. and that was and is super duper hard. just last year my business in FL was thriving. i was on top of the world. people recognized my work and style without my name even being on an image. it was truly all i could hope for. and then i left and my heart just wasn't into photography.
now a year later, i can admit that my break from photography stemmed from fear. i was afraid to start. i was afraid i couldn't achieve the same level of success. i was afraid i couldn't create images that were fresh and vibrant and different. i was afraid that people just wouldn't like my work.
but 2012 has given me the confidence to try again. i am excited to get started and shoot from my heart. and my fears are now fuel for my determination.
so here's to a fresh start and putting yourself out there! cheers to the new year! check out a marketing postcard that i recently created that i can't wait to start sharing around town.
