"Loaded with a good range of features"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
like the multiple popup reminders.Cons
Limited contact import format options.
Very good application that comes free of costs.
"Great software for personal use."
Version: Kurlo 1.3
I am happy with this software and that is still available for download. I used Kurlo software two years ago on my old Windows XP. Don?t know what took me so long to look for Kurlo software again. Works great on Windows 7.
No Cons. It is free !
I like this software because it works for my personal use. I used Kurlo software two years ago on my old Windows XP. Don?t know what took me so long to look for Kurlo software again. Works great on Windows 7. Imported all my contacts and did a user backed up. Wonderful Software. Thank You!
I struggled for 2 years with the primitive Microsoft Works Word Processor for Windows 7 to print envelopes. -
"No keyboard support"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
Appears appealing, but ...
No keyboard support at all. Cannot even close a dialog box with the Esc key. Requires Java.
This program first appears promising, except it's a mouse-only operation. While there are 4 different ways of using the mouse to open a contact for editing, it won't even respond to the Enter key. And you cannot close a pop-up quickly with Esc. The fixed date format 02/03/2001 will mean you have to pause and think before knowing what date it really is (March 2 or February 3). That it requires Java is also a hassle to set up for portable operation. I am not wasting any more time on this program.
"Best address book you'll ever need"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
Easy to use. Loads of features. Customizable in a hundred ways. Set up custom fields any way you want them although the default fields are excellent. Seriously don't see myself using any other address or contact book again. Even emails & prints.
Didn't come with a thousand dollar gift certificate. Only thing that could've made it better.
"Nice for personal use on one computer, not portable."
Version: Kurlo 1.3
Great "all-in-one" screen infos about a contact.
Multiple categories for each contact.
Spouse infos for couples, if you dont want to create a new contact for her(him).Cons
No link between Organizations and People ! Unusable for professional use.
Infos (Outlook) miss : post adr vs geo adr...
E-mail calls local mail server, no way to another.
Dont try to copy it between computers, install locations are fixed on each.Summary
Simple and nice for home use, not for personal + professional use ; so multi-accounts is not really useful.
"Great Software for Maintaining Family & Friends Info"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
UI is easy to use and nicely laid out, can easily see summary of family member information (spouse/children), ability to add custom date event fields (ex. "Graduation"), ease in creating subset address lists (ex. "Reunion 2009" or "Christmas Cards").
It would be nice to be able to keep a history (log) of recurring date events, such as visit dates to out of town relatives, etc. Otherwise, seems to totally meet my immediate needs.
"sometimes free can be expensive"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
okay for a free program
program won't allow you to just save a name and phone number, so you have to make up a phony address which could lead to problems later on if you don't remember its a phony
simple if you are looking just to store names
Version: Kurlo 1.3
Does exactly what it says it does, and does it well. It looks nice too, which is always a bonus. Plus its free!
1) The import field mapping is a little screwy; the default email address field is actually mapped to the ICQ field. TIP: If you're importing contacts, make sure the default email address in your CSV file is mapped to the ICQ field in Kurlo's file.
"Perfect Portable Address Book!"
Version: Kurlo 1.3
Wonderful little piece of ingunity. I installed on my flash drive (just under 5MB) and take it with me. Things I loved about this:
-FREE, no strings
-Small (under 5MB)
-No BS (only the basics, but it's more than you'll ever need)
-"Upcoming Events" You can have Kurlo display (and print) a list of upcoming birthdays/anniversaries.
-PRINT!!! You can print out your info (and only choose the fields you want displayed) to make your own "emergency number" listing for the kids, or your own personal phonebook.
Version: Kurlo 1.3
It offers so much and it's FREE!
Haven't run across anything yet!

What contradicts that is the rising prices for many of the more desirable items as fewer come up for sale and an increase in film sales.
Printable View
These are really just the same old dead horses that deserve a decent burial. Collectibles/mint/NOS/rarities sell; mid-market/abused/common stuff doesn't in N. America. The "increase" in film sales is apparent only after a decade of calamitous decline--simply put, it's not increasing if tracked as a secular trend--sorry! What else explains the disappearance of labs and film from the mainstream market?
Lab disappearance is follow-the-crowd mentality.
People believe they can't make money so they bail. The next guy over sees that and bails (before he loses out).
Wal-mart and Costco put millions of mom and pop minilabs out of business by underpricing them and then decide they can't "justify" keeping their services running. So they bail.
An inventive photo lab could make lots of money in both digital and film services but, for a lot of people, a little work is too much work. They like it better when they just open the doors and the business floods in. When the flood stops they aren't happy with a flowing stream, they go searching for a new flood.
It was like this with the video rentals and then Blockbuster came in and killed them off. Now Blockbuster is busted and the mom and pop video stores are long gone.
I see people begging for reasonable E6, BW and medium format services but they are almost non-existent.
Film scanning services (fair price and outstanding quality) are also a money maker.
But, business people are not imaginative. They just want to read Entrepreneur magazine and follow the crowd.

Truisms at ten paces? Show me the crowd control issues for local police forces keeping those dip-n-dunk customers calm.
Banks don't carry lines of credit on imagination. Valuations of indy photo labs, pro or otherwise, tanked years ago. They bailed because they weren't profitable, OK?
My surviving pro lab finally dropped all film services last year. Why? A trickle of film customers and machinery they couldn't justify repairing. They're still afloat and seem to be enjoying a "last man standing" niche market that's been stable. I'm going further afield and paying more for film services that plainly aren't robust businesses. Amateurs dragging in a few rolls a month and ordering a few 8x10s don't pay the bills.
How do you invent customers? Answer that and you're set!
As disappointed as I am to see the loss of so many fine photo labs in my local area, I have to say, I completely disagree with you on this. I suggest that you get a feeling for how much it costs to keep a Fuji Frontier machine up and running. Forget about the initial capital cost of the machine....just look at the daily and yearly operating costs. Just water, electricity, regular preventive maintenance and consumables....forget about repairs, employee wages and insurance, forget about lease costs and all the other business expenses....then figure out how many rolls of film you'd have to process to even break even.
I'm glad in my town things are as they are. There are 3 labs for guys like me that have been interested in film for years and won't quit. I started at 12. I can find any camera I want, but I buy Digitals for my wife and my children. There is plenty of film and Services. As well as cameras. Most cameras I find and I like are not "dead" or "beaten to dead" I'm happy with the interest and supplies that currently we have.
My neighbor used to own and operate 3 1-hour photo stores. When digital came along, more and more customers would walk in the door asking to get their digital pictures printed. Her stores "didn't do that". Costco came along and were the first around here to offer digital printing.
My neighbor got nervous.
She didn't want to invest in new digital systems, so she shut down the 1-hour photos and converted them to Subway Sandwich shops. She made lots of money in photo and lots of money in sandwiches.
There are film processors that are intended to develop as few as 5 rolls a day.
If one had 3 stores, like my neighbor, they could easily consolidate the film into one place. Not everyone needs 1 hour service. Many people would be happy with overnight or even 3-day service if it meant having a local, dependable, place to go. - with reasonable prices. No one wants to pay $20 for develop, scan and prints.
The remaining film customers are very dedicated and can be loyal customers.
One could sublease a small corner and back room of a Hallmark or Stationery store and run their lab out of that. One could even have the lab offsite in a cheap industrial area.
An imaginative person could figure out there is a lot of money to be made. I think a 20-30 year old person could make a great 1-person business.
Offer scanning and restoration services. Offer video slideshows. All are cheap and easy to do and fill the time between film rolls.
People are not ever going to buy enough coffee mugs to keep anyone alive.
In Vancouver G. King Photo, one of the four surviving full service pro labs, went under last year. Some of their staff were hired by Customcolor, and I think Customcolor may have bought some of their equipment. Customcolor has recently moved to new, expanded premises.
In the conversations I've had with my usual lab, ABC Photo, they indicate to me that volumes have stabilized.
I'm cautiously hopeful.

We begin with the sad news that Italian author Antonio Tabucchi died on Sunday, March 25, in Lisbon, his second home for many years.
Born in Pisa in 1943, Tabucchi, the son of a horse trader, was one of the finest voices in the European literature. He was the author of novels, short stories, essays, and plays, as well as the renowned translator of Fernando Pessoa. Tabucchi's books have been translated into more than forty languages and several of his novels have been adapted for the movies, directed by renowned directors like Roberto Faenza, Alain Corneau, Alain Tanner and Fernando Lopes. Tabucchi's many books have won prestigious prizes including the Prix Médicis Etranger, the Aristeion, the Nossack, and the Europaeischer Staatspreis. He taught at the University of Siena and lectured in many prestigious universities abroad (Bard College in New York; the Ecole de Hautes Etudes and the Collège de France in Paris). A fierce critic of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, Tabucchi wrote for many Italian and foreign newspapers (Corriere della Sera, L'Unità, Il manifesto, Le Monde, El Paìs, Diario de Noticìas, La Jornada, Die Allgemeine Zeitung) and cultural magazines such as La Nouvelle Revue Française and Lettre International. He was a co-founder of the International Parliament of Writers.
New Directions publishes seven of his books, including Indian Nocturne, Requiem, Pereira Declares, and The Missing Head of Damasceno Monteiro. His novels glow with Tabucchi's special "enchantment, which transfigures even as it captivates" (The [London] Times Literary Supplement).
"[Tabucchi has] the touch of the true magician, who astonishes us by never trying too hard for his subtle, elusive, and remarkable effects." — The San Francisco Examiner "Internationally acclaimed as the most original voice in the new generation of Italian writers." — The Harvard Book Review "Antonio Tabucchi continues his progress towards becoming an Italian Graham Greene." — The Economist "Whereas Calvino produced fiction that read like tightly controlled prose poems, Tabucchi creates stories that are elliptical puzzles, not so much concluding as trailing off — they appear to end just when we hope they will continue." — The Nation

New Directions would like to congratulate Michael Palmer, Christopher Middleton, and Michael Hofmann for being recognized for their contributions to literature by The American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Palmer and Middleton were awarded Arts and Letters Awards in Literature for their lifetime achievements and Hofmann was awarded the Thornton Wilder prize for Translation. You can read the entire announcement here.
We're honored to publish such acclaimed writers and translators.
The Lebanese journalist and novelist Rabee Jaber — whose groundbreaking novel The Mehlis Report will be published by New Directions in the spring of 2013 — was awarded the International Prize for Arabic Fiction 2012 award. Rabee Jaber was born in Beirut in 1972 and has been editor of Afaq, the weekly cultural supplement of Al-Hayat newspaper, since 2001.
The BBC interviewed Jaber on winning the prize. You can listen to the program here. You can also read an excellent piece from journalist Susannah Tarbush on Jaber, the IPAF, and how we came to discover him here.
by Roberto Bolaño translated by Chris Andrews and Natasha Wimmer Read the story "Labyrinth" here
This collection of short prose represents everything that Bolaño was still working on at the time of his death in 2003. The various pieces demonstrate that he abided by his own writerly advice: to keep many pots cooking at once. He was writing in all manner of genres, revisiting familiar characters and sketching new ones, and exploring his constant theme: the abyss at the edge of humanity. Learn more here. (available April 24)
"Bolaño is a once-in-a-blue-moon rhapsodic reading experience." — Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review
by Kenneth Rexroth edited, with an Introduction, by Kim Stanley Robinson Afterword by Carter Scholz View the table of contents here
In the Sierra: Mountain Writings is famed poet Kenneth Rexroth's collection of musings on the Sierra Nevada, where he spent as much time as he could. In retrospect his views on environmental ethics were as progressive as those of Emerson and Thoreau before him, and the scenes and scenery he portrays will ring true to anyone who has spent time in the mountains. Containing poetry, short prose, newspaper columns, pieces for guidebooks, and correspondence all compiled and edited by Kim Stanley Robinson, along with illustrated maps and photographs, this collection reveals, above all else, Rexroth's passion for the world around him. Learn more here. (available April 10)
"This book begins a new phase in the understanding of Rexroth — he stands as tall as Robinson Jeffers in the evocation of the West Coast wildness, and sees farther ahead." — Gary Snyder
by Xi Chuan translated by Lucas Klein View the table of contents here
Notes on the Mosquito: Selected Poems introduces English readers to one of the most celebrated poets of contemporary China, highlighting the work of a deeply engaging poet whose poems intertwine the mountains and roads of Xinjiang with insects and mythical beasts, ghosts, sacred spirits, and a Sanskrit brick. Learn more here. (available April 12)
"Xi Chuan's Notes on the Mosquito intercepts the traditional loveliness of the pastoral lyric with the close inspection of city eyes." — C.D. Wright

The March 18 issue of the The New York Times Book Review featured full-page pieces on two of our titles, and we simply couldn't resist the urge to share the praise with you.
In a review of László Krasnahorkai's Satantango, Jacob Silverman writes:
"What does all this chaos add up to?" In the fiction of Laszlo Krasznahorkai, such questions are secondary. Instead, he offers us stories that are relentlessly generative and defiantly irresolvable. They are haunting, pleasantly weird and, ultimately, bigger than the worlds they inhabit.
Read the full review here.
And in a review of César Aira's Varamo, Ben Ratliff writes:
There is something modestly cool going on underneath here, something to do with content following form. Aira seems fascinated by the idea of storytelling as invention, invention as improvisation and improvisation as transgression, as getting away with something — as anyone might be who essentially writes stories in real time.
Poet Susan Howe, winner of the 2011 Bollingen Prize for American Poetry, and musician David Grubbs will perform a collaborative piece based on Howe's award-winning volume That This on April 5 at Yale's Biencke Library. For more info, click here.
On April 13 and 14, join Columbia University, New York University, and Talisman House Publishers for a retrospective on the life and work of William Bronk. Events will take place on both campuses, and are free and open to the public. For more information, click here.
On April 23, Jonathan Cohen, acclaimed for his translations of Ernesto Cardenal, Enrique Lihn, and other Spanish-language poets, will read from and discuss his work compiling and editing By Word of Mouth: Poems from the Spanish, 1916-1959, the first collection of Spanish translations by William Carlos Williams. The multimedia event will include documentary images of Williams and the poets he translated, as well as recordings of Williams talking about and reading from his work. With introductory remarks by Declan Spring, Senior Editor, New Directions, and a poetry recitation in Spanish by actress Gy Mirano. For more information, click here.
This event will be simulataneously conducted in English and Spanish.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW: CNET editors cover the Next Big Thing
LG's DVD player with HDMI HD output January 5, 2005; 1 p.m. LG LDA511 DVD playerThe product: Joining the likes of Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic, LG will sell a "high-definition" DVD player that upconverts standard DVD signals (480i/480p) to 1080i to deliver a sharper image.

text: Story of A Slaughter HorseI looked deeply into the eyes of my owner, who loaded me into a cramped lorry. He never looked back, as he left the lorry and banged on the side, spooking the horses who were also in here. It was dark, and smelled horrible. Horses were lying on the floor, while others had no choice but to step on them so they too wouldn't fall. I tried not to step on any. As some were dead, while others struggled to get up again, as the lorry started to move. I don't know where we were headed or why. My owner had told me that I was going somewhere to be loved by a little girl. The last thing I remember doing was riding through the forest practicing for a competition with my owner's daughter. We flew through the forest, as one, and felt nothing but the wind blow past us. I was happy there, never wanting to leave. But then my owner had told her not to bring me into my stall after the ride. The lorry was wobbly and the other horses spooked at every bump in the road. Some horses on the floor werStory of A Slaughter Horse3 years ago in Emotional More Like This

Amazing Grace • by director Michael Apted
I need a love story. Whatever the film, I don't know how to tell the story unless there's something emotional happening at the center of it all. It doesn't have to be boy-girl, it could be any combination; young man/old man (Thunderheart), or girl/mountain gorilla (Gorillas in the Mist). I remember when we were editing Coal Miner's Daughter, that despite all the music and color, whenever we took our eyes off the central love story between Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones, the movie came unstuck. Amazing Grace came to me as a bio-pic about a God-fearing man, William Wilberforce, who wanted to make the world a better place. He became obsessed with the horrors of the slave trade between Africa and the New World and it became his destiny to destroy it. He took on the British Government, the powerful Sugar Industry (on which most of the United Kingdom's wealth depended), and the King. Steven Knight (the screenwriter) and I stayed with the central idea, but rather than make it a portrait of the man, we made it about the politics—the horse trading, the cut and thrust, and the backroom coalitions that are at the heart of political action. Our story is about using the power of politics to do good things, to make life better, a notion that hardly resonates in modern times. But as we started to figure out all the intricacies of the plot, I realized that I didn't have my love story. There was a girl but she came into the story in the third act so that wouldn't do. There was also a deep and complex friendship that Wilberforce had with another young political icon (William Pitt), but somehow you couldn't hang the whole story on that. So if the girl wouldn't come to the story, then the story had to go to the girl. We developed a totally new structure to tell the anti–slave trade story within the framework of Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) and Barbara's (Romola Garai) whirlwind courtship and marriage. It gave us a lot of advantages. It freed us from the bane of bio-pics—linear storytelling, so we were able to cherry-pick our history. In Wilby's telling of his early successes and disappointments, we could compress the action and dump great chunks of dead time without disturbing the rhythm of the story.The emotion of the courtship added heart and soul to the political storytelling. It also gave us some headaches. Once you start messing with time, to-ing and fro-ing between the past and the present, it can create difficulties for the audience. It gets hard to figure out where you are, and although it's a 101 rule of filmmaking to be ahead of the audience and not play catch up, you don't want to lose them by creating confusion. Each time-change has to be carefully signposted and then the creating of parallel worlds works well. It's the sort of thing that film does brilliantly. As a novice documentarian, I'll never forget watching Night and Fog, Alain Resnais' haunting "then and now" vision of the Holocaust death camps. In a 30-minute short, he created as much emotion and power about the subject as I've ever seen. One drawback of the device is that it positively invites criticism. Like, wouldn't Barbara already know the story she's being told? Well maybe, but perhaps she'd like to hear it from the Man himself! The other love story in the movie, between the young political meteors Wilby and William Pitt the Younger (Prime Minister at the age of 24!), dramatizes the great personal cost of the shifting political sands. Never overtly sexual, Ioan and Benedict Cumberbatch (Pitt) played it for all the emotional nuance they could muster. As the battle to destroy the slave trade unfolds and the stakes escalate, the tensions between the dogged and uncompromising Wilby and the pragmatic Pitt send the relationship into a tailspin. The political divisions between them and their ultimate reconciliation, when placed into an emotional context, puts meat on the bones of the story. Politics of any period can be tricky territory for movies, so all the more reason to be mindful of the words of Oscar Wilde, "without love there is no understanding."

Jasmine Jafferali
Jasmine Jafferali grew up an overweight child and drinking pop (yes, she's from Chicago) and made many lifestyle changes along throughout her life. While she doesn't blog for her health, she blogs to inspire you to make positive, healthy changes.
Jasmine began her gluten free diet ventures way before it became trendy. After battling health issues ranging from migraines, GERD, fatigue, bloating and moodiness, her husband asked her to marry him anyways and she went gluten,soy and dairy free ridding all medications and began her path to healing. After her naturopathic medical doctor gave her the green light to begin trying for a family, she was pregnant three weeks later and life as a mom began. She left her job after her daughter was born in 2007 and took a maternity sabbatical to study health, nutrition and healing. She does not claim to be a dietician, classes made her sleepy in college, instead she earned her degree in exercise science for her love of fitness. After landing a job in corporate wellness, she earned her Master's in Public Health and loves belting out statistics about health and proving doctors through research that the right diet can heal. Jasmine calls herself a nutrition detective deciphering labels and educating parents to empower them to eat cleaner and healthier.
After the birth of her son in 2010, she learned know matter how much you do by the books, sometimes you just can't know it all. She is grateful for her son's Sensory Processing Disorder and keeps to a strict diet of various food sensitivities and learning more than she ever thought she would know and is now helping parents whose kids are on the spectrum. Jasmine likes to challenge the medical community, encourages parents to do the same by exercising their patient rights and while she believes there is a time and place for modern medicine, she'll look to alternative methods to health and healing before resorting to drugs.
Jasmine loves to snack and her love of snacking helped her to launch her new app called Snack Smart Solutions, keeping snacks balanced, clean and tasty. You can read her blog and insites about faith, family, food and fitness at Healthy Jasmine

How do I enable the "Announce the time" option in the Date & Time System Preference using Applescript?
migrated from apple.stackexchange.com Sep 15 '11 at 14:31
This question came from our site for power users of Apple hardware and software.
You can do this via a terminal command: I managed to dig out the preference file that's being written to when you toggle this setting: The key you're changing the value for is
To use this in an AppleScript simply do the following (to run a terminal command from AppleScript):
That should do it. The other preference keys (voice, custom rate and custom volume) will be reset to their defaults if you use the command as above. If you want to set them to non-default values you'll have to explicitly set them along with the above key value. However, since there are some nested dictionaries you'd probably need to look at using plistbuddy (which isn't installed by default AFAIK). However, if you only want to set the announcement on/off option, don't worry about it. This will set you up! |

Inter Milan 2-2 Catania
Inter Milan struck twice late in the second half to salvage a 2-2 draw against Catania at the San Siro on Sunday.
The Nerazzurri looked to be heading for their fifth straight league defeat after first-half goals from Alejandro Gomez and Mariano Izco put Catania on course for an upset.
However, Diego Forlan ended Inter's one-month goal-drought in the 71st minute to bring his side back into the match before team-mate Diego Milito equalised with 10 minutes remaining.
The result leaves Inter in seventh place, a point behind sixth-placed Roma and one spot and three points above Catania.
Inter coach Claudio Ranieri went into the game under growing pressure with his side having failed to win in their past nine games in all competitions.
The home side started strongly and almost took a 15th-minute lead but Catania goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo kept out Forlan's 10-yard effort.
Five minutes later Catania went ahead when Pablo Barrientos fed Gomez in the area and he struck his shot past Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar.
Catania made it 2-0 in the 38th minute when Giovanni Marchese found Izco in the box and he fired the ball into the back of the net.
Inter were struggling to find a way through and after half-time, it was more of the same with the visitors from Sicily threatening to increase their lead.
On the hour mark, Catania's Marco Motta nodded Francesco Lodi's cross on target and it was saved by Julio Cesar.
Inter found their way back into the game when Wesley Sneijder served Forlan in the area and the Uruguay forward drove the ball into the bottom left corner where Carrizo was unable to get to it.
The goal lifted Inter's spirits and not long after, they were back on level terms.
Forlan acted as provider and found his fellow South American Milito in the box.
Argentinian Milito made no mistake and struck the ball past the Catania keeper.
With seconds to go Catania nearly claimed all three points but Julio Cesar did well to deny substitute Osariemen Ebagua's close-range effort.

The inventory will be on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) in the Pisgah National Forest. The focus of the workshop is to educate hikers and the general public about the threats of invasive exotic (IE) plants and how to identify and inventory IE species to help managers protect native biodiversity along the Trail. There is no charge for the event, and participants are eligible to receive credits toward Criteria II or III for the North Carolina Environmental Education Certification Program.
On May 22, participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Sam's Gap parking area on US-23 (Marshall, North Carolina 28753) At that location, a workshop, led by expert instructors, will outline the threats that IE plants pose to native biodiversity and how to identify more than 12 of the most threatening species in this region. The workshop will offer training in the tools and techniques used to inventory IE plants, including an introduction to GPS technology and Eddmaps, an online database used to map IE plant populations nationwide. Guidebooks will be distributed to participants to aid them in future identification and control of IE plants.
Following the educational portion of Saturday's workshop, the group will hike 2.5 miles on the A.T. from Sam's Gap to Street Gap, in order to inventory IE plants along the trail. The group will then return to Sam's Gap, for a total round-trip distance of 5 miles. The inventory should be concluded by 2:30 p.m.
ATC will provide all equipment needed for the workshop and inventory. Volunteers are asked to bring lunch, two quarts of water, rain gear, sturdy boots or shoes, and clothes appropriate for hot or cold weather. Carpooling is available from the Forest Service Building in Asheville (160A Zillicoa St.) leaving at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday and returning to Asheville by 3:00 p.m.
Individuals or groups interested in volunteering or needing more information should contact John Odell with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy as soon as possible by e-mailing

February 19, 2007
Testimony of Pedro A. Ramos
Hearing before the Senate Judiciary and Appropriations Committees
February 19, 2007
On behalf of Mayor John F. Street, thank you Chairman Specter and members of the Judiciary and Appropriations Committees for giving me the opportunity to testify here today. Mr. Chairman, your commitment to addressing the issue of youth violence is demonstrated not only by your words but by your actions, such as holding hearings like this one today and providing the leadership to obtain funding to support the City's violence initiatives, like the Youth Violence Reduction Partnership (YVRP), which I will discuss later.
We all continue to struggle with the challenge of addressing the growing problem of violence and the devastating effects it has on our community, especially on our youngest citizens. Violence is shattering the dreams and futures of too many children and youth in our city.
A comprehensive and community-wide strategy is needed to address this growing violence. The Street administration has invested heavily in violence prevention programs, and there is no more important priority for this administration than the safety and stability of our children and youth. A significant component of our comprehensive violence reduction strategy is mentoring. My testimony will focus on how current violence reduction efforts, specifically YVRP - which has been tied to significant decreases in youth homicide rates - and the Adolescent Violence Reduction Partnership (AVRP), utilize mentoring as a key component of their approaches.
Although we are seeing positive trends in the reduction of many major crimes , there has been recent growth in violence among youth ages 18-24:
? The number of arrests for violent crimes increased by one percent between 2004 and 2005;
? The number of arrests for homicide increased by four percent between 2004 and 2005;
? The number of arrests for rape increased by three percent between 2004 and 2005.
One of the city's most notable research-based violence reduction strategies is YVRP, which is active in five of the city's 24 police districts. This proven model targets youth who are most likely to kill or be killed and provides them with intensive supervision, mentoring, and support services. YVRP is a partnership among the Philadelphia Police Department, Adult and Juvenile Probation, the District Attorney's Office, the Managing Director's Office, the departments of Human Services, Recreation and Behavioral Health, as well as other partner agencies, both public and private.
The young people enrolled in the program are known as "youth partners," and the paraprofessionals who deliver many of the services, including mentoring, are known as "streetworkers." The essential elements of YVRP, each of which I will describe in detail, are identification, surveillance, graduated sanctions, positive supports - including mentoring, and gun suppression.
- Identification: YVRP utilizes research-based indicators to identify youth ages 16 to 24 who are most at risk to kill or be killed;
- Surveillance: Streetworkers, police, and probation officers provide intensive supervision (usually daily) to monitor the youth partners wherever they are --in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods;
- Graduated sanctions: When a participating youth violates his or her probation, YVRP swiftly imposes sanctions. Research has demonstrated that the prompt deployment of sanctions can be a key element in deterring further criminal behavior;
- Positive supports and mentoring: Sanctions alone are not enough to deter youth from criminal behavior. YVRP streetworkers help youth partners access a range of positive supports, including educational opportunities, literacy, job placement, and drug treatment. A key component of positive supports is the mentoring relationship between streetworker and youth partner. Streetworkers are from the same neighborhoods and have similar backgrounds as the youth partners. This shared context and experience creates a strong bond between the streetworker and youth partner, increasing the effectiveness of the streetworker;
- Gun suppression: YVRP is working with local, state, and federal authorities to deter both access to, and use of, firearms by young people.
YVRP was first introduced in the 24th police district in 1999 and has since expanded to a total of five police districts. Since its inception, approximately 2,100 youth have been part of YVRP. Given the target population, it is clear YVRP has saved many lives: Through December 2006, only 1.3 percent of YVRP youth partners have either died or been accused of murder. While a single death is too many, the data clearly demonstrate the success we have had mentoring 98.7 percent of our youth partners.
YVRP has been subjected to rigorous third-party validation, and the results are promising: According to research conducted by Public/Private Ventures, in the three police districts where YVRP has been implemented long enough for evaluation, the homicide rate has decreased by between 32 and 62 percent. Although two districts have recently experienced an increase in these rates, it is less than the overall increase in the City's homicide rate.
YVRP is currently funded through a combination of state grants, a federal earmark, City government dollars, and in-kind contributions by government agencies. In FY 2007, the total cost of YVRP operations will be $7.15 million, over 80 percent of which are grant funds. Assuming that all in-kind contributions and current grants would remain the same, expanding YVRP to another nine police districts would cost an additional $6.9 million annually.
Given the success of YVRP with 16-24 year olds and the reports of growing violence among younger youth, it is logical that this initiative be driven down to younger youth. Lifetimes at Risk: Young Offenders Between 10-12 Years of Age The Philadelphia Story, a briefing paper published by Philadelphia Safe and Sound, documents that we know how to identify youth at younger ages who are likely to kill or be killed. And we are doing just that through the Adolescent Violence Reduction Partnership (AVRP). AVRP is designed to intervene with 10- to 15-year-old youth at the first sign of serious risk behaviors, connect them with streetworkers, and provide support services to help them re-direct their lives before becoming victims or perpetrators.
For both YVRP and AVRP, the streetworker naturally takes on a role of mentor to the youth, encouraging him or her to make positive choices for the future. Natural mentors have been demonstrated to be a positive influence for at-risk youth, a finding that is validated by the success of the YVRP program.
In conclusion, I want to again thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony today and, more importantly, for your commitment to addressing the violence crisis we battle everyday. I will answer any questions you may have.
The number of violent crime arrests has decreased by 12% between 2001 and 2005: rape arrests have decreased by 24%; arrests for robberies have decreased by 4%; aggravated assault arrests have decreased by 18%.
Sixteen youth have died: thirteen homicide victims, two suicides, and one automobile accident. Twelve have been charged with murder: five have been found guilty, one was found not guilty, one had his murder case withdrawn, and five have open cases.

The Event Kick-Off SmartHunt accomplishes three important things - it familiarizes the group with their venue, it contains important corporate messaging and it includes fun destination touring of the surrounding area. We deliver these fun, challenging, high-tech corporate scavenger hunts on Apple® iPads using our proprietary SmartHunts App that utilizes text, audio, video, and GPS tracking to produce the coolest hunts ever! Our fun icebreaker forms your group into teams. Teams are then issued iPads and instructed by our professional facilitators about how to answer text questions, use the mapping system, take photos, and shoot video. The SmartHunts App replaces old-style hunts that had teams following clues in a linear order. Teams can pick any clues or challenges they want in any order to hopefully gain the most points and become the winning team. Team will have a fun exploring their surroundings through a series of creative text, audio, and video challenges. They'll also develop a spirited team presentation, complete object retrieval missions, find interesting locations, answer trivia, search for items, solve clues, perform tasks, and complete challenges during their SmartHunt. The SmartHunts® App encourages social interaction within each team by posing interesting questions to teammates during the hunt. SmartHunts also feature two-way messaging so teams are connected with the hunt coordinator who tracks them using GPS. Client-specific questions can also be added to Kick-Off SmartHunts® so the host of the event can ask fact-finding questions of their attendees to help them assess a specific mission or objective. The photos and scoring from the teams during the hunt are continually downloaded to the ending location using Wi-Fi and cellular internet connections so photos and videos from the hunt are already streaming on the big screen when the groups arrive at the ending location. This is ideal program for kicking off a multi-day event, introducing a new property, forming new friendships, and strengthening existing bonds. We can also produce a video of your event tor you to distribute to your attendees or put on your website. Aspects of the program may be modified depending on variables including, but not limited to, venue restrictions, program length, and group size.
