Pre-Parole and Transfer Facility Brooks County Detention Center FALFURRIAS
— A Corpus Christi jury returned a verdict Wednesday siding with the widow of
a man who died in January 2009 at the Brooks County Detention Center in
Falfurrias. The federal jury decided unanimously to award $2.25 million to
the widow of 42-year-old Mario Garcia, who died of a seizure while on suicide
watch at the center. Garcia's family contends he was denied prescribed
medications while at the facility, which led to his death 12 days after being
brought there. His condition began to quickly deteriorate after being jailed,
though he was never sent to a physician or a hospital, according to the
family's counsel. Garcia left behind a wife and a 10-year-old son. Kathy
Snapka, lead counsel for the Garcia family, called the death preventable and
said facility staff disregarded his condition. Snapka said the family hopes
the verdict in Garcia v. Niderhauser will send a message to other facilities
that they will be held accountable for neglect. "Monica Garcia's
objective was to speak for Mario to ensure that no other person is denied the
right to receive medical attention," Snapka said. Attorneys for LCS
Corrections, which owns Brooks County Detention Center, were not immediately
available for comment Wednesday. Both sides await the ruling of U.S. District
Judge Randy Crane, who has as much as 30 days to make a judgment. July

6, 2002 February 11, 2002 Last Wednesday,
Cornell Cos. , a Houston-based prison builder and operator, announced that it
is reviewing its books - or rather, reviewing an off-book transaction that it
entered into during 2001. Not surprisingly, in this post-Enron environment,
the market reacted very negatively. However, from the Sleuth's point of view,
there are several "disconcerting" aspects to all of this: Even
though this "retainer agreement" was reportedly entered into during
the third quarter, the Sleuth was unable to find references to any
"retainer agreement" in CRN's third quarter 10-Q Report, and there
was no evidence that the company had either paid this $3.65 million to Lehman
Brothers or had recognized this debt as a liability. Likewise, this $3.65
million "retainer" does not appear to have been used to pay for any
of the costs of the company's secondary offering, announced on November 27,
2001, for which Lehman Brothers was the lead underwriter. A review of the
Company's filings with the SEC for this offering fails to show that any of
CRN's expenses from this secondary offering were paid out of any
"retainer agreement." And then, the company also announced a
changing of the guard. One of its outside directors would become chairman,
while the now-former chairman would remain president and chief executive of
the company. This press release came only eleven minutes after the
announcement of the investigation. (Securities Sleuth) February 6, 2002 February 7, 2002 Corplan,

Center Danville Center for Adolescent Females Dawson State Jail Male detainees work to fix a cell
door inside of the Dawson State Jail in Dallas on Jul. 31, 2013. The Texas
Department of Criminal Justice decided not to renew its contract with the
Corrections Corporation of America for the Dawson State Jail after the state
legislature struck 97 million dollars from its funding. The unit will begin
relocating its offenders on Aug. 1, 2013, and expects to have all offenders
relocated by the end of the month. The demise of the Mineral Wells Pre-Parole
Transfer Facility, which officially closes at the end of this month, is a
major economic disappointment for the community that has been its host for
more than 15 years. But the closing of the Dawson State Jail in Dallas, which
will also happen this month, comes as a relief for many in the city, and
might even result in a financial windfall. For only the second time in the
state's history, Texas lawmakers are closing inmate facilities to reduce bed
capacity as the state's prison population continues to drop. The decision by
legislators this year to close two privately run jails operated by the
Corrections Corporation of America is being met with very different reactions
in the communities where the jails are situated. Since 2011, Texas' prison
population has fallen to about 150,800 from more than 156,000, bringing the
total of empty beds to about 12,000 statewide, said state Sen. John Whitmire,
D-Houston, the chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee. Improved
diversion programs and alternatives to incarceration have fueled the downward
trend, he added. "The logical thing to do is to look to close facilities you
don't need," Whitmire said. In 2011, the state shut the aging Central Unit in
Sugar Land, a Houston suburb. When lawmakers started the regular legislative
session in January, advocates for criminal justice reform and the prison
employees' union urged them to consider ending the state's contracts at the
Dawson jail and the Mineral Wells unit. "Both facilities received a lot of
very serious complaints," said Scott Medlock, a prisoners' rights program director
and lawyer at the Texas Civil Rights Project. Lawmakers eventually agreed,
and sliced nearly $97 million from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
budget. The department's board officially decided to terminate its contracts
for the two facilities with the Corrections Corporation of America when they
expire on Aug. 31. Jason Clark, a department spokesman, said the decision to
close both privately run facilities was based on a number of factors,
including safety and security at the units. All of the inmates who were at
the Mineral Wells jail have been transferred to other facilities, he said.
The transfer of inmates from the Dawson unit began on Thursday, and Clark
said it would be emptied by the end of the month. Established in 1997, Dawson
State Jail — which is near the Trinity River, on the outskirts of downtown
Dallas — can house about 2,200 inmates, including nearly 1,400 women. After
the deaths of at least two female inmates and a newborn baby, the facility
came under increased scrutiny in the last year, and faced lawsuits over the
health care it provided to inmates. In January, a group of civil rights
advocates urged lawmakers to take notice of poor conditions and of a 2012
health services audit that found conditions at the facility that did not meet
the terms of the Corrections Corporation of America's contract. The
corporation has defended its oversight of Dawson. In an emailed statement in
January, the company said that the University of Texas Medical Branch
provided health care at the Dawson jail and that the company took seriously
its responsibility to oversee that care. "It's unfortunate that these
organizations are so closed-minded when it comes to facts and perspectives
that might challenge their political agendas," said Steve Owen, a company
spokesman, responding to civil rights groups' letter. "CCA simply provides
safe inmate housing and quality rehabilitation programming at a cost savings
to Texas taxpayers." But Dallas city leaders did not come to the company's
defense in the Legislature. The jail is among a number of impediments to the
Trinity River Corridor Project, a redevelopment effort that has long been in
the works for the area. The project involves a 20-mile span of urban
development that includes houses, waterfront condominiums, office buildings
and shops and restaurants. Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, said he was unaware of
any plans to sell the prison, and he said any talk of moving forward with
development in its place anytime soon was "speculation." But West did say
that the closing of the Dawson jail was welcome news because of concerns
about conditions there. "If there's going to be a conversation about
repurposing the facility," he said, "the community needs to be involved in
that." Clark, the criminal justice department spokesman, said no decisions
had been made about the future of the jails, and that the agency intended to
work with both local and state officials. By contrast, in Mineral Wells,
about 80 miles west of Dallas, local officials lobbied lawmakers vigorously
to keep the state facility running. The jail, at what had once been a U.S.
Army base, can house up to 2,100 inmates. It opened in 1989. "It's going to
have a significant impact on our economy," said Lance Howerton, the city
manager of Mineral Wells. He said that the city would lose up to 300 jobs,
$80,000 annually in local property taxes and $800,00 annually in water and
sewer sales. Howerton said that all told, city officials expected the
economic impact to be about $40 million annually. Corrections Corporation has
become a partner in the community, Howerton said, offering scholarships each
year for high school seniors and providing inmate labor for city projects and
to help tend the local state park. "Being a small community, most everyone
here knows of someone" affected by the closing, Howerton said. Along with
city officials, local lawmakers and lobbyists for the Corrections Corporation
also fought unsuccessfully to keep the Mineral Wells facility open. Howerton
called the decision to close it shortsighted. With the state's
ever-increasing population, Howerton said, there is sure to be a need for
more prison beds in the future. But Whitmire said he was confident that the
state's continued focus on rehabilitation and diversion programs would keep
the prison population from expanding. Even if it did, he said, the Mineral
Wells facility would be a poor choice to house inmates because of security
concerns. The jail, which was not built as a place to put inmates, has long
had problems with contraband. At one point, Whitmire said, officials hung a
net above one side of the facility to keep passers-by from tossing items over
the fence. Lawmakers said they were expecting to save nearly$97 million by
closing the two facilities — money that Whitmire said could be more wisely
spent on the criminal justice system. "We're running a good program," he
said, "but we still have some flaws we've got to fix." May 12, 2013 www.gosanangelo.com AUSTIN — Texas Senate and House
budget negotiators have tentatively agreed to close two privately run state
prisons. The Texas Board of Criminal Justice would decide which two prisons
to shutter under the Friday's agreement, the Austin American-Statesman
reported. The Senate, in its state budget plan, had targeted a 2,100-bed
transfer facility in Mineral Wells and a 2,200-bed state jail in Dallas for
closure. The House, in its plan, had allocated funding for each. Under new
wording in the budget bills, legislators agreed to cut $97 million from the
criminal justice budget. That's the amount it costs to run the Dawson State
Jail in Dallas and the Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, although
the budget bill won't specifically name those two lockups. The conflicting
budget proposals and feuding lawmakers in both chambers had endangered the entire
state criminal justice budget. The newspaper, without naming them, said
legislative leaders are in agreement on closing Dawson, but that Mineral
Wells representatives are pushing to keep their facility open, saying it
would harm the economy in the city about 75 miles west of Dallas. State Sen.
John Whitmire, chairman of the Senate Criminal Justice Committee, has
campaigned to close the two units for more than two years. They are both
operated by the Corrections Corp. of America under a contract with the state.
Whitmire contends that the state already has 12,000 unused prison beds and
the two aren't needed. Brad Livingston, executive director of the Department
of Criminal Justice, wrote Whitmire earlier this month that the design of
Mineral Wells, built as a military barracks and not a prison, made it a top
candidate for closing. The design causes security and safety code
considerations, Livingston said. Its location adjacent to a park, college and
private land also contributes to security concerns, he said. Prison records
show frequent instances of contraband drugs and cellphones tossed over the
prison fence. It opened in 1989 at a time when Texas prisons were under
federal court control because of crowding and was intended as a holding site
for parolees heading out. Livingston says his agency has been planning to not
renew its contract for Mineral Wells after it expires in August.
The Corrections Corporation of America, which runs 12 Texas
prison facilities, is facing a lawsuit from a publication that says it is
failing to release information related to deaths and health care at the
Dawson State Jail in Dallas, reports the Texas Tribune. The prison is one of
several the legislature is considering for closure because of a declining
prison population. The lawsuit, filed in state court in Austin, seeks to
force the company to comply with an open records request that was filed in
March by Prison Legal News, a monthly magazine based in Vermont that focuses
on prisoner rights. The magazine says it is trying to "enforce its right
under state law to investigate patterns of unconscionable and
unconstitutional conditions in corporate-run jails." "This lawsuit
is about the truth," said Brian McGiverin, a Texas Civil Rights Project
lawyer for Prison Legal News. "They hide the truth because they know the
truth is horrifying." Lawmakers are considering whether to close Dawson
State Jail in the current budget, an effort spearheaded by state Sen. John Whitmire,
along with the American Federation oif State County Municipal Employees.
Two civil-rights advocacy groups
on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in Travis County district court alleging one of
the nation's largest private prison companies is refusing to make public
details about deaths and injuries in its Texas lockups. The suit filed by the
Prison Legal News, a subsidiary of the nonprofit Human Rights Defense Center,
and the Texas Civil Rights Project state in the suit thatthey requested
information from Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America under the
Texas Public Information Act concerning its Texas contracts, lawsuits filed
over its Texas operations and information about settlements and other legal
filings. According to the suit, the company declined to respond to the
request. Steve Owen, CCA's senior director of public affairs, said "We will
review the complaint and determine the appropriate course of action." The
filing of the suit came as the closure of two CCA-run state lockups — the
Dawson State Jail in Dallas and the Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Center — is
being considered by the Texas Legislature. Legislative opponents of the
closures said the suit was timed to push for approval of the closures. In a
press release announcing the filing of the suit, the Texas Civil Rights
Project alleged that by refusing the release the records, CCA is "covering up
the deaths of seven people at the Dawson State Jail while denying hundreds of
women access to medical care. " CCA has previously denied those claims. In
their lawsuit, the two groups seek a court order requiring CCA to make the
records public. No hearing date has been set.
Just weeks ago the Texas Observer
branded the Jesse R. Dawson State Jail on the banks of the Trinity River near
downtown Dallas as "Texas' worst state jail," citing, among other things,
poor conditions and inadequate medical treatment that "in a few cases led to
deaths." Among them: Autumn Miller's premature baby, a girl named Gracie born
after just 26 weeks of gestation. Autumn told KTVT-Channel 11 in July that
guards at the privately operated jail, which is owned by Corrections
Corporation of America, refused her cries for medical attention. She says the
guards gave her a menstrual pad and locked her in a cell. She says they told
her she just had to go to the bathroom. As a result, Miller says in a lawsuit
filed Friday in Dallas federal court, on June 14, 2012, "She looked down and
watched, in horror, as she delivered baby Gracie into the toilet." The infant
lived for four days and died in her mother's arms. "Within an hour of
Gracie's death," says the suit, "CCA employees took Autumn back to Dawson."
Autumn, who was sent to Dawson State Jail in February 2012 to serve one year for
violating probation on a drug-possession charge, and her attorneys, Paula
Sweeney of Dallas and Suzanne Kaplan of Austin, are claiming negligence and
cruel and unusual punishment in the suit filed last week. The complaint
follows in full below. The suit alleges CCA guards did nothing to help
Miller, before or after she gave birth to her baby; she claims it took guards
15 minutes just to find the key to get into her cell, and that "several CCA
employees came into the holding cell while Gracie lay there helpless next to
her bleeding mother." She alleges one guard videotaped the whole ordeal.
Finally at the hospital, says the suit, Autumn — a nonviolent offender — "was
still handcuffed and shackled" when allowed to visit with her baby. "As a
result of Defendants' deliberate indifference to their serious medical needs,
failure to follow the existing telemedicine policy, failure to adequately
supervise and train its employees to follow the telemedicine policy, and to
supervise and train its officers and agents to act in an emergency," says the
suit, "Autumn is traumatized and Gracie is dead." The suit was filed just
days after a coalition of state and national groups issued "Dawson State
Jail: The Case for Closure," which mentions Gracie's death while making the case
that the jail's an unsafe place. State legislators have also begun to push
for the jail's closure, insisting it just isn't needed with a dwindling state
jail population. And the city of Dallas wants the jail closed in order to
develop the property along the Trinity River. February 27, 2013 reporternews.com If the nation's largest
correctional officers union gets its way, then the empty multimillion-dollar
Jones County lock up will soon house a little more than 1,000
minimum-security state inmates from the privately run in Jacksboro. Built in 2010, the
$35-million, 1,100- bed capacity prison in Jones County sits empty at the
edge of Anson, a town of 2,422. It was supposed to create nearly 200 jobs
with a $5 million annual boost to the local economy. On Wednesday, the
American Federation of State County Municipal Employees — Texas Correctional
Employees operates under that umbrella — called on state legislators to end
three contracts with the Correctional Corporation of America, citing abuses
and poor management. Along with Lindsey in Jacksboro, two other private
prisons included on the proposed chopping block are Dawson State Jail in
Dallas and Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility. The union's local 3807
chapter president, Lance Lowry, said the proposal calls for the Jones County
facility to be run by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and house the
Lindsey inmates starting Sept. 1, should the state opt to not renew the
private contract. Inmates from the other private prisons also will be moved
to state-run facilities. Lowry said about 25 state and national organizations
are calling for the closure of Dawson for "extreme abuses, and other medical
abuses," accusing Correctional Corporation of America of having a history of
abusive practices. "There were three female inmates that died there and a
baby last year, and all of the incidents were easily preventable" Lowry said.
"What we're finding is that these private facilities are not paying their
staff the equivalent of what the state pays correctional officers." U.S.
Department of Labor data indicate the median annual wage for correctional
officers by the state is $38,850. In contrast, officers employed in privately
operated prisons earned a median salary of $28,790. In 2011, the TDCJ
derailed plans to house inmates at Jones County facility when it terminated a
contract with the county. More than 30,000 of the state's 93,000 county beds
sit empty — both at county jails and at centers built through county-private
partnerships, like Anson, according to the Texas Commission on Jail
Standards. "Jones County will come out better from this deal, than with a
private prison in their community," Lowry said. "And we don't want another
(private) facility to open to open up. That's going to be disastrous like the
other ones." Lowry said the union notified Jones County officials about the
A Houston lawmaker is proposing
the closure of a privately-run prison in Dallas. State Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston,
and a union representing prison employees are proposing the closure of the
privately run Dawson State Jail in Dallas and the the Mineral Wells
Pre-Parole Transfer Facility, the Texas Tribune reported. The lawmaker and
the union said the state doesn't need the facilities and closing them would
be a way to save money. Whitmire said the state has an excess of prison beds
because of improved diversion programs and alternatives to imprisonment.
Whitmire said the Dawson State Jail sits on prime land in downtown Dallas,
and local officials would like to have the land for development. Lance Murray

people who worked at the Ector County Correctional facility, a private jail
in Odessa, face federal charges of bribery. Federal officials say they were
bringing contraband into the facility. The suspects indicted by the federal
grand jury are making initial appearances today in federal court. Bond is
expected to be set as well. The indicted employees and former employees
worked in Community Education Centers for the correctional facility. Sources
say one suspect was arrested in Austin. One of them is an employee at the
Ector County Detention Center according to sources. However, the female
employee is alleged to have committed the bribery charge while working at the
private Ector County Correctional Facility. The private jail is located on
the top floor of the Ector County Courthouse. June

Correctional Facility A former guard at a private prison
in Post on Friday, Oct. 18, received two years probation for accepting a
candy bar from an inmate as a bribe. "You know I'm giving you a break," U.S.
District Judge Sam R. Cummings said to Cesar Ceja, after defense attorney Rod
Hobson suggested a long probation would achieve the same goals as a prison
term would. Ceja replied, "Yes, your honor, I do." He faced a maximum prison
sentence of two years. Ceja, a guard at the Giles W. Dalby Correctional
Facility, told investigators in February 2012 an inmate offered him a bribe
to bring contraband into a prison. In that same interview, he admitted he'd
accepted a Snickers candy bar from an inmate in exchange for chewing gum.
Many jails and prisons classify chewing gum as contraband primarily because
it can be used to jam a lock keyway. The Dalby facility is owned by Garza
County and operated by Management and Training Corp., based in Centerville,
Utah. The minimum security prison is a federal contract facility that houses
men who may be awaiting deportation. January

27, 1999 Hunt Count Jail Jack Harwell
Detention Center Aug 29, 2013 wacotrib.com McLennan County officials said the
200 detainees U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement promised to the
county's private jail didn't come. Chief Sheriff's Deputy Matt Cawthon said
ICE told the county the detainees would be delivered to the Jack Harwell
Detention Center on Highway 6 at the end of July, but none arrived. Harwell
warden James Duke said he has offered 300 of the center's 833 beds to the
federal agency, but he doesn't know when to expect them to be filled. "The
thing with immigration is this facility is only an overflow facility. So
basically, we can't expect (detainees) unless (ICE) needs us for overflow
beds, and there's no way we can predict that," he said. "Dealing with (ICE),
it's got to be on their time and on their need." Duke said the Harwell center
could receive inmates if the five San Antonio ICE district facilities were
filled. LaSalle Corrections, a private company, took over the Harwell center
in May from New Jersey-based Community Education Centers Inc. because of LaSalle's
reputation for bringing federal inmates to their facilities, County Judge
Scott Felton said. LaSalle's contract with the county is three years with the
option of an additional two years. LaSalle managing member Billy McConnell
said the company is losing money on the Harwell contract. He said if there
are not enough federal, state or county inmates to fill the facility, the
company would evaluate whether Harwell is worth keeping open. But McConnell
said that isn't a consideration until the last year of the contract, and the
company meanwhile is actively pursuing ways to fill its beds. The Harwell
center needs the revenue from housing about 650 inmates for it to cover its
bills, McConnell said. Precinct 4 Comissioner Ben Perry said there are about 350
county inmates now at Harwell. Revenue earned at Harwell first goes to paying
down the county's $49 million bond. Perry said LaSalle pays about $4.2
million toward the bond and its interest per year. This delay in housing any
federal detainees continues to strain the county's budget as it pays for
overflow inmates. The county can house about 931 inmates at the McLennan
County Jail on Highway 6 and when it's at full capacity, additional inmates
stay at the Harwell center. Perry said if LaSalle could bring in enough
inmates to fill Harwell, then the county's overflow inmates would go to the
county's downtown jail, which is closed. LaSalle also would manage the
downtown jail if the Harwell center were full, but the county would get a
discount on its overflow prisoners housed there, Perry said. It costs the
county $51 a day to house prisoners at the McLennan County Jail on Highway 6,
and it pays LaSalle $45.50 a day for prisoners to stay at the Harwell
facility. ICE would pay LaSalle $55 day to house its detainees at the Harwell
facility. The county has spent $2.2 million more than its $3 million 2013
budget for overflow prisoners, Perry said. County Auditor Stan Chambers said
in previous budget sessions the money allotted for inmate care and indigent
defense is enough to cover July and August, but he is combing the budget to
look for excess to pay September's bills. At the end of July, there was only
about $785,000 left in contingency, he said. "You need to be very careful
about your decisions going forward because we're going to need that to fund
these two line items," he said.
McLennan County Commissioner
Lester Gibson said Tuesday he remains committed to finishing repairs at the
county's shuttered downtown Waco jail, arguing the county has spent too much
money on the facility not to reopen it. Gibson also said he was tired of
keeping a private jail operator "afloat" by continuing to house inmates from
the downtown jail at the Jack Harwell Detention Center on East Marlin
Highway. The operator, New Jersey-based Community Education Centers Inc., has
failed to adequately market the Harwell center to other entities, making it
increasingly dependent on county inmates to fill beds, he said. The county
has spent more than $1.2 million to renovate the 34-year-old downtown Waco
jail, which has been closed since 2010. Rod Aydelotte / Waco Tribune-Herald,
file Past agreements to house inmates from Dallas and Harris counties failed
to produce results, Gibson said. "It's my opinion that we have burdened
ourselves as well as taxpayers by keeping CEC afloat," Gibson said during a
commissioners court meeting. Commissioners must decide by this summer whether
to renew the county's contracts with CEC, which operates the Harwell center
and houses overflow inmates from the county-run McLennan County Jail on State
Highway 6. CEC also is under contract to run the downtown jail, but
commissioners voted in June 2010 to close the facility and transfer inmates
to the new Harwell center. Company representatives did not attend the
meeting. In a statement, spokesman Charles M. Seigel said the company had
"spared no expense" in its efforts to market the facility and fill beds.
"However, it is a well-known fact that over the last several years nationwide
prisoner populations have been declining," Seigel said. "However, it should
also be noted that the county's inmate population has been increasing, from
an average of 100 to 375 in the past 18 months. CEC remains committed to
working with our county partners in achieving our mutual goals." The county
has spent more than $1.2 million to renovate the 34-year-old downtown jail,
and commissioners hoped to reopen it this year to help ease a budget crisis
fueled in part by overflow inmate housing costs. But County Judge Scott Felton
cast doubt on that plan last week after learning that the jail's smoke
evacuation system needed potentially costly updates to pass a state
inspection. Depending on the cost, commissioners may want to wait to spend
the money until they have a use for the downtown jail, Felton said. Felton
elaborated Tuesday, saying the county's current contract with CEC lets the
company decide where to house the county's overflow inmates. Plenty of beds
are vacant at the Harwell center, so the company probably wouldn't move
inmates downtown if the jail were open, he said. The 816-bed Harwell center
was about 65 percent full Monday, with 410 of the 528 inmates coming from
McLennan County. The percentage of county inmates there has been as low as 25
percent but jumped to between 60 percent and 80 percent in recent weeks as
the federal inmate population declined, Felton said. Commissioner Kelly Snell
said the county should stop sending inmates from the downtown jail to the
Harwell center when the contracts with CEC expire in June. "That was supposed
to be a temporary thing," Snell said. "I think the temporary time is up. We
need to get our people over here (to the downtown jail)." Snell echoed
Gibson's critique that CEC had failed to market the Harwell center to win
other housing contracts. Felton disagreed, saying the company has struggled
because the jail industry is overbuilt nationally. "We need to keep talking
about it, keep it in front of us and look for solutions," Felton said. "But
also, let's be aware of what the (business) environment is out there." The
$49 million Harwell center was built by the McLennan County Public Facility
Corp., a governing body formed by the county to issue revenue bonds without
creating a debt liability for the county. Commissioners transferred inmates
from the downtown jail to the Harwell center so revenue earned from housing
them could be applied to the bond debt. The public facility corporation has
met its scheduled bond payments so far, in large part because the county
houses so many inmates at the Harwell center, County Auditor Stan Chambers
said. "So you could say that our inmates located in the Jack Harwell center
are right now what's helping to make the bond payments," he said. In essence,
that means taxpayers are helping to pay the bonds, since the county pays
overflow inmate housing costs through its property tax-supported general
fund, Chambers said. June

During a BuzzFeed Brews with CBS This Morning interview, the former Seinfeld star and co-creator said it is "anti-comedy" to approach the genre like it's "the census."
"I was saying, 'If we're gonna do Jerry and George, I just gotta say, "Hello, Newman" one more time,'" the comedian told BuzzFeed with a laugh before BuzzFeed Brews with CBS This Morning on Monday. "I mean, you never want to pass up that opportunity."
BuzzFeed and CBS This Morning bring you an interview with Business Editor Peter Lauria and Jerry Seinfeld, live 6:30 - 7:15p ET.
What's the deal with all these quizzes?
Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander got back down to the petty arguing that delighted us all in an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
Jerry Seinfeld revealed on a radio show on Thursday that his and Jason Alexander's outing at Tom's Restaurant was filmed. And that other Seinfeld alumni — Larry David, included — are involved!

Seriously, the comedic dream team.
Seinfeld announced on Twitter Wednesday night that he'd be stopping by comedian Colin Quinn's set at the Creek and the Cave in Long Island City.
So much that he wrote an op-ed to the New York Times writer who called it "lazy." That and more in today's CelebFeed Gossip Roundup!
And if you were wondering (and I know that you are) Jerry Seinfeld DOES bring up Michael Richards's "incident."
Not only the greatest sitcom ever, Seinfeld helped launch the career of many actors you love today.
Guns N' Roses lead guitarist says they will never get back together. Also, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David get a cup of coffee together.
Jerry Seinfeld has actually done it, he's made a show about nothing. His new web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, is set to premier July 19 at 9pm, and looks awesomely hilarious.

Hinds Community College
On March 29, 2010, Hinds Community College (HCC) student Isaac Rosenbloom complained to a fellow student following class that his grade in the course was "going to f— up my entire GPA." After overhearing this comment, Rosenbloom's professor, Barbara Pyle, threatened him with "detention" and submitted a disciplinary complaint against Rosenbloom. HCC found Rosenbloom guilty of "flagrant disrespect" and issued him twelve "demerits," just three short of suspension, and involuntarily withdrew him from Pyle's course, causing him to lose his financial aid eligibility. After HCC failed to respond to FIRE's initial letter, FIRE obtained the assistance of attorneys Robert B. McDuff and Sibyl Byrd, who took up Rosenbloom's case and secured a settlement in his favor in July 2010, allowing him to resume his training as a paramedic. Unfortunately, HCC continues to maintain an unconstitutional ban on "public profanity, cursing and vulgarity."

Students at Mississippi universities may have to watch what they say more than those in other states because of policies that free-speech advocates say are oppressive. At Ole Miss, someone could theoretically get in trouble for sending an e-mail about how much they "hate" rival Mississippi State. Jackson State students could be punished for unsolicited flirting. Speaking freely outside so-called "free-speech zones" on most of the campuses could get students in trouble, even though a federal court has deemed that unconstitutional. Adam Kissel, of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, said the nonprofit group hears from hundreds of college […]

"I didn't intend on this happening," he said. "Even as students, we have the right to free speech." Last week, Hinds reversed its punishment for Rosenbloom after he contacted an attorney and drew national attention to the public college's free speech policy. The reversal has […]

When students drop the F-bomb
May 19, 2010
At Hinds Community College, swearing can get you in trouble. "Public profanity, cursing and vulgarity" are all punishable with a $25 fine for a first offense, and a $50 fine for a second offense. Further, the offense of "flagrant disrespect" (which may be demonstrated by swearing, as became clear Tuesday when a controversy over the code went public) can earn a student demerits that could lead to suspension. Hinds appears to be relatively rare among public colleges in regulating speech in this way. And the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has taken up the case of a student who […]

In 2010, Isaac Rosenbloom complained to a fellow student after his Oral Communications class that a grade he received on an assignment was "going to fuck up [his] entire GPA." Rosenbloom's professor at Hinds Community College in Mississippi overheard the comment, threatened him with "detention" (which Hinds, like most colleges, did not have), and submitted a disciplinary complaint to the school.

Hinds Community College (HCC) barred a paramedic student from one of his classes last year and denied him financial aid after a professor initiated a verbal confrontation with him over his language outside of class time. After FIRE intervened, HCC backed down. FIRE obtained the assistance of attorneys Robert B. McDuff and Sibyl Byrd, who took up Isaac Rosenbloom's case and secured a settlement in his favor. HCC removed the finding and demerits from Rosenbloom's record and restored his financial aid. But that's not the end of the story.

The Public Debates the Hinds Swearing Case
August 3, 2010
Isaac Rosenbloom was interviewed yesterday afternoon for the evening news on WAPT 16, the ABC affiliate in Jackson, Mississippi. Rosenbloom was barred from one of his classes at Hinds Community College (HCC) and denied financial aid after a professor confronted him for using the "F" word after class. After FIRE intervened, this decision was reversed, and Rosenbloom is again able to pursue his studies, but Hinds has not yet abandoned its unconstitutional policy against swearing anywhere on campus at any time. The case has drawn a great deal of debate, however. An August 1 article in the Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Miss.) summarized Rosenbloom's case and quoted […]

July 29, 2010
The Chronicle of Higher Education writes today about FIRE's successful free speech battle at Hinds Community College (HCC) in Mississippi, where Isaac Rosenbloom has finally had his record cleared after being found guilty of "flagrant disrespect" after uttering a single profane remark outside of class time. The Chronicle's Don Troop sums up the case: Mr. Rosenbloom and a few other students had remained after a speech class one day to discuss their grades with the instructor, Barbara Pyle. … Mr. Rosenbloom testified in a recorded disciplinary hearing that he turned to a classmate and said, "This grade is going to […]

Victory for Free Speech on Campus: Mississippi College Reverses Punishment of Student for Swearing Outside of Class
July 28, 2010
Four months after he was threatened with "detention" and then forced to endure a disciplinary process that put his and his family's livelihoods at risk, Isaac Rosenbloom is again able to pursue advanced training as a paramedic at Mississippi's Hinds Community College (HCC). HCC has finally reversed his punishment for swearing a single time outside of class. Rosenbloom, who supports his wife and two young children as an emergency medical technician, was barred from one of his classes and denied financial aid before FIRE was able to get his case resolved. Rosenbloom's ordeal began on March 29, 2010, when professor Barbara […]

'USA Today' Blogger Criticizes Punishment of Mississippi Student in FIRE Case
June 3, 2010
FIRE's case at Hinds Community College (HCC) in Mississippi, where student Isaac Rosenbloom's First Amendment rights have been violated, receives a nice analysis this week on USA Today's "College: The Blog" site. As Torch readers already know, Rosenbloom was disciplined and almost suspended for one curse word he stated in a private conversation outside of class. Further, Rosenbloom was threatened with "detention" by his professor (which doesn't exist at HCC—and he told her so), then found guilty of "flagrant disrespect" because of what the professor called "severe cursing." Most recently, his final appeal was denied by HCC President Clyde Muse. USA Today intern and University of Georgia […]

Why Does FIRE Care About Swear Words, Anyway?
May 19, 2010
It's a testament to the power of language that the debate over the use of vulgar words has continued for as long as I can remember—and certainly even longer than that. From a legal perspective, of course, the debate is just about over. The Supreme Court case of Cohen v. California (1971) decided that Americans have the right to wear a jacket with the words "Fuck the Draft" plastered on it inside a courthouse, meaning that the government cannot punish a person for doing that. As there are few places where such attire is conventionally less appropriate than a courthouse (and good […]

Mississippi College Bars Student from Course for Swearing Outside of Class
May 18, 2010
Mississippi's largest community college unconstitutionally bans "cursing and vulgarity" and has barred a student from a course for swearing outside of class. Hinds Community College (HCC) student Isaac Rosenbloom was forbidden to return to class and given twelve "demerits" for being so "disrespectful" as to swear in the presence of fellow students and his instructor. Today's press release tells the story: On March 29, 2010, after their Oral Communication class, instructor Barbara Pyle and a few students stayed to discuss the students' grades. At one point, Rosenbloom said that his grade was "going to fuck up my entire GPA." According […]

A popular fermented vegetable is prepared by allowing fresh leaves of mustasa (mustard) to wilt under the sun for two hours. Salt is then sprinkled on top of each leaf and the leaves arranged in layers in an earthen container. Use about 1/2 cup salt for every kilo of leaves. Rice water is then poured to cover the layers of leaves. The mouth of the container is then covered with cheesecloth or sinamay to prevent any insect from entering. Let stand for seven days. It is then ready for consumption.
The juice of the preparation is very sour. This can be used in preparing sinigang.
The burong mustasa may be prepared as:
Salad - wash the leaves once in cold water. Slice crosswise and serve with fresh tomatoes and onions.
Vegetable for sinigang - no need of washing. Use whole leaves as vegetables.
Omelet - wash and slice crosswise. Sauté with onions and tomatoes. Add beaten eggs last.

This scaler has 19 floating heads which lift off and catch scales. This is the quick way to clean a fish.
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 28
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wset Great tool to have
A friend was using a fish scaler like I had never seen so I tried it out by helping him clean some fish. I was amazed how well it took off the scales and knew I had to have one. the 19 beads on the scaler really works great and it didn't hurt when it hit against my hand. Would recommend this scaler to any fisherman and have already showed it to many of them.

I haven't used it yet. I bought it based on the reviews, had a gift card & free shipping. Shipped fast. Personally, based on how it's made, I think it'll work as described by others. Can't wait for my next free day to fish and try it. Of course, gotta catch something first.

It is a great scaler and really does the trick. I only wish that it bore its name "Big Norm" on the scaler itself, because my name is "Norm". Why have a product if you don't show its name?

Integrated Homeland Security Management (M.S.)
Graduate Project Guidelines
Towson University recognizes that classroom instruction can only take you so far. The best learning opportunities are those when you must apply your skills in the real world. The Graduate Project course - IHSM 881 - requires you to tackle a real-world issue that "synthesizes" your coursework in the homeland security program. The project should be on a topic in an area of research or application that is interesting and relevant to homeland security. The project work will be guided - and challenged - by a faculty advisor. Students will frame the problem, conduct the analysis, make recommendations and present their findings.
IHSM 881 - Graduate Project
- can be taken after completing 15 credits in the program. If you are unable to complete the project in one semester, then you will have to register for
IHSM 885 - IHSM Project Continuum
(1 credit) in order to continue the project into the next semester. Prior to registration for the IHSM 881 course, the student needs to obtain approval from a Faculty advisor and the IHSM Program Director. Further instructions are given below.
Each student will contact a government agency or company in their quest to identify and research/apply a topic, preferably, in their area of specialization. They will draw upon prior course work and other materials as necessary. The student will prepare a 3-5 page, double-spaced project proposal describing the project and ensure that it is approved by their advisor and the Program Director before they begin the project. The student will routinely keep their advisor informed on the status of their project. A final project report will be prepared based on the results of the project being implemented. Necessary elements of the project proposal are described below. These need to be vetted by the agency/company supervisor and the faculty advisor.
Here are the basic steps for doing the Project Course:
Contact an agency/company (local, regional or national) and identify a project.
Project ideas may emerge from your coursework.
Project ideas may be from your workplace.
Local emergency management agencies, hospitals, local government homeland security Offices, local sheriffs' office etc. might all be good places to start.
Other Friends/contacts working with such agencies might be a good idea.
Project ideas from faculty members or the program director.
Choose a faculty advisor from list of advisors listed below.
Create project proposal in collaboration with your faculty advisor and agency supervisor.
Send your proposal
your faculty advisor's approval to the Program Director.
You will be registered for the course, once the proposal is approved by the Program Director.
Since this process might take some time, you should initiate this process at least a month or two in advance of the semester that you would like to do the project.
Elements of the Project Proposal
Project Description:
In this section you will include the project description and outline the broad scope of the project
Project Justification:
Provide justification to support that your project is built upon the knowledge acquired from courses within the program or your particular concentration. At a minimum, material from some of the core courses in the program should be applied to the project.
Reading List:
Prepare a list of requirements needed in order to achieve the objectives of the project proposal.,
Expected Outcome:
This is where you describe the end result of your project. What will you have accomplished after finishing the project?
Implementation Plan:
Prepare a list of tasks that will comprise the project and the associated timeline for each. Thus, for example, collecting data/requirements from the agency/company, reading additional material needed for the project, completing specific components of the project, writing various modules/chapters of the project report, final submission of the report etc.
Final Product:
This is where you delineate what will be included in your deliverable, i.e. the final project report. Below is a suggested outline.
Final Project Report
Below is a suggested outline of what should be included in your final project report.
Executive Summary
Table of Contents
Table of Figures
Project Description and Scope
Literature Review (if applicable)

Recommendations and Summary
List of Project Advisors

Richards Avoids Brain Drain
LATEST: THE ROLLING STONES guitarist KEITH RICHARDS will not undergo surgery following his mysterious stay in a New Zealand hospital, according to the band's spokesperson. The 62-year-old was airlifted to Auckland's Ascot hospital suffering concussion after reportedly falling out of a palm tree while on holiday in Fiji last week (27APR06). But contrary reports claimed Richards sustained his injuries in a jet-ski accident. Spokeswoman FRAN CURTIS would not disclose how the BROWN SUGAR rocker was hurt, but she dispelled reports Richards would require surgery to drain blood from his skull. She added, "He's feeling good and in good spirits." Richards is said to be looking forward to the European leg of the tour which kicks off later this month (27MAY06) in Barcelona, Spain.

I bought Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements.
If I launch PSE, I get splash screen : Organise, Open or New Project.
If I Click on Organise, nothing happened.
So , click new project. Try New Diaporama. A little windows appears, 'load elements organizer'. Then stop, but nothing. So I can't access my photos by this way. So I can't do Diaporama, CD, DVD's ...
I have this trouble on PrE too ...
Thanks for your help and ideas :-)
Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running. On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut Then click the browse button and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe" Then click Next; then click Finish N.B. on 64 bit systems navigate to Program Files (x86)

Cristina"What's A Girl to Do?"
Another variation on the "messed-up rich girl" theme. This was released in 1984, but its style and lyrical tone was very far ahead of its time - you can easily fool people into believing this came out any time in the past decade. I love how she sounds totally delighted by her own nihilism - just listen to the way she spits out the line "my friends decay around me and I view them with distaste."

Patel, Jatin and Matnor, Nur Azim and Iyer, Abishek and Brown, Lindsay (2011) A regenerative antioxidant protocol of vitamin E and α-lipoic acid ameliorates cardiovascular and metabolic changes in fructose-fed rats. Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine. pp. 1-8. ISSN 1741-427X

Type 2 diabetes is a major cause of cardiovascular disease. We have determined whether the metabolic and cardiovascular changes induced by a diet high in fructose in young adult male Wistar rats could be prevented or reversed by chronic intervention with natural antioxidants. We administered a regenerative antioxidant protocol using two natural compounds: α-lipoic acid together with vitamin E (α-tocopherol alone or a tocotrienol-rich fraction), given as either a prevention or reversal protocol in the food. These rats developed glucose intolerance, hypertension, and increased collagen deposition in the heart together with an increased ventricular stiffness. Treatment with a fixed combination of vitamin E (either α-tocopherol or tocotrienol-rich fraction, 0.84 g/kg food) and α-lipoic acid (1.6 g/kg food) normalized glucose tolerance, blood pressure, cardiac collagen deposition, and ventricular stiffness in both prevention and reversal protocols in these fructose-fed rats. These results suggest that adequate antioxidant therapy can both prevent and reverse the metabolic and cardiovascular damage in type 2 diabetes.

Has this security problem been fixed, or addressed in any way from what anyone can tell? Also, if you run a paypal shopping cart on your site, have you seen this problem exploited, or do you watch out for it?
I'm concerned about the security problems with a paypal shopping cart system. It appears that the price that paypal charges the merchant is based on a 'hidden' field in the HTML. Knowing this, I was able to change the price on items and purchase them through paypal.
