Sheriff on "Black Belt TV"… The Conservative Case Against More Prisons…Realignment…and Predictive Policing
March 11th, 2013 by Celeste FremonEDITOR'S NOTE: THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY NEWSWORTHY REASON FOR POSTING THE VIDEO ABOVE OF SHERIFF LEE BACA ON BLACK BELT TV. WE JUST KINDA LIKED IT.)
The latest issue of The American Conservative has an interesting article by Vikrant Reddy and Marc Levin about how it is conservatives who are leading the charge against lowering America's prison populations.
Leading the charge might be an overstatement. But conservative groups are having an important and measurable effect on policy, where all but the most liberal of democrats are lagging behind.
The reform of 3-Strikes in California simply would not have passed had it not been for the help of some of the conservatives from the Right on Crime movement.
Plus Right on Crime and related conservative groups like Prison Fellowship Ministries are pushing for reforms of disastrous zero tolerance policies in schools, and in the realm of juvenile justice.
In any case, here are a couple of clips from TAC's story.
Since the 1980s, the United States has built prisons at a furious pace, and America now has the highest incarceration rate in the developed world. 716 out of every 100,000 Americans are behind bars. By comparison, in England and Wales, only 149 out of every 100,000 people are incarcerated. In Australia—famously founded as a prison colony—the number is 130. In Canada, the number is 114.
Prisons, of course, are necessary. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne observed that "The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil… as the site of a prison." As long as there are people, there will be conflict and crime, and there will be prisons. Prisons, however, are not a source of pride. An unusually high number of prison cells signals a society with too much crime, too much punishment, or both.
There are other ways to hold offenders—particularly nonviolent ones—accountable. These alternatives when properly implemented can lead to greater public safety and increase the likelihood that victims of crime will receive restitution. The alternatives are also less costly. Prisons are expensive (in some states, the cost of incarcerating an inmate for one year approaches $60,000), and just as policymakers should scrutinize government expenditures on social programs and demand accountability, they should do the same when it comes to prison spending. None of this means making excuses for criminal behavior; it simply means "thinking outside the cell" when it comes to punishment and accountability.
Between 1992 and 2011, the U.S. prison population increased by nearly 73 percent. To the extent that the recent rise in incarceration incapacitated violent offenders, it was valuable. For nonviolent offenders who are not career criminals, however, incarceration can be counterproductive. As is sometimes said, prisons are graduate schools for crime. This is more than apparent in numerous states where recidivism rates exceed 60 percent.
Unnecessary incarceration of nonviolent, low-level offenders also destroys families. Mitch Pearlstein at Minnesota's Center of the American Experiment has pointed out that incarcerated men "are less attractive marriage partners, not just because they may be incarcerated, but because rap sheets are not conducive to good-paying, family-supporting jobs." It is common sense that neighborhoods suffering from high incarceration rates also suffer a plague of single-parent homes and troubled children.
This, in turn, leads to dysfunctional communities that are mistrustful of law enforcement. Most American children are taught that they may always ask the police for help. In some American neighborhoods, however, children are taught never to engage with the police.
For this—high recidivism rates, ravaged families, and maladjusted neighborhoods—Americans pay dearly. In 2011, Americans spent over $63 billion on corrections, a 300 percent increase since 1980. Prisons are the second-fastest growing component of state budgets, trailing only Medicaid….

I realize we're starting to get boring on this topic. But a refreshingly sane editorial in the Ventura County Star, gave us an opportunity to harp on this issue that has been dreadfully reported by many journalists around the state (with some notable exceptions, like the LA Times, which has been great).
Here's a clip from the VC Star Op Ed by Thomas Elias:
As crime statistics for 2012 gradually filter in from around the state, gripes about the 15-month-old prison realignment program have begun rising in newspaper headlines and talk show airwaves.
There are two major complaints: One is that crime rose as realignment cut the inmate populace by more than 24,000.
The other is that some criminals are being released earlier than before the program began in October 2011, in part because local jails in a few counties are overcrowded.
A typical gripe comes from Tyler Izen, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the state's largest police union. "Our members are terribly concerned that we are allowing people out of prisons who are likely to recommit crimes and victimize the people of our city," he said in a telephone interview.
He claimed probation departments have lost track of some former prisoners, but could offer no specific examples. "All I have is anecdotal information," he conceded.
It turns out that only one of those big gripes has any proven merit…
Read the rest here.
California legislators are introducing a cluster of bills, each of which would fine tune some part of the realignment structure put into place by California's massive AB109.
The Capital View reports:
Democratic Assembly members Susan Talamantes Eggman, of Stockton, and Ken Cooley, of Rancho Cordova, introduced Assembly Bill 601 to allow parole violators to be returned to state prison for up to one year.
AB 2, authored by Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, would return sex offenders who violate their parole back to prison "to serve any sentence ordered for that violation."
Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, earlier proposed Senate Bill 57, which would make removal of a GPS monitoring device an additional crime requiring a prison sentence of 16 months, two years or three years
WitnessLA agrees that some fine tuning and closing of certain loopholes is needed, but the devil will be in the details. What we do not want to see is an emotional rush to return to the bad old days that produced overcrowded prisons with little or no positive effect on public safety.
The LAPD has been running a pilot program of a strategy called predictive policing that uses a combination of updated crime statistics, technology and algorithms to predict areas ripe for crime so that police can be ready and move in to prevent crime and/or make arrests in the moment rather than trying to solve the crimes afterward.
The program, known as PredPro, has reportedly been used so successfully in the LAPD;s Foothill Division that now other places like Santa Cruz and, more recently Seattle have signed up as a way to police smarter in an era of budget cutting.
An intriguing article in the Gardian by columnist/author Evgany Morzov cautions that, while the program seems very promising now, targeting crime before it happens can be a mighty slippery slope.
Here's a clip from the close of his story:
The promise of predictive policing might be real, but so are its dangers. The solutionist impulse needs to be restrained. Police need to subject their algorithms to external scrutiny and address their biases. Social networking sites need to establish clear standards for how much predictive self-policing they'll actually do and how far they will go in profiling their users and sharing this data with police. While Facebook might be more effective than police in predicting crime, it cannot be allowed to take on these policing functions without also adhering to the same rules and regulations that spell out what police can and cannot do in a democracy. We cannot circumvent legal procedures and subvert democratic norms in the name of efficiency alone.
And, of course, it bears remembering that it was those Masters of the Algorithmic Universe—the Wall Street genius "quants"—who, to a great degree brought us the 2008. So, yeah, full speed ahead, but with ethics intact, and a good hold on common sense and caution.

Happy Desperation
The folks from Happy Sounds of Japan were doing everything in their power to tame reflections in their room. Here's the left side of the room; the right was just as interesting. I can't recall if they also requested some of the room treatment from ATS Acoustics that AXPONA made available to anyone who requested it.

Great! until 100k...
by mocondo on Aug 2, 2012
Vehicle: 2005 Toyota Matrix AWD 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
I have been a big fan of this car since I bought it new seven years ago. I bought the 5-speed manual base line model. And for the first 100K, the only thing I had to replace were the usual things - tires, battery, brake pads, clutch (in that order). In fact, the clutch didn't start to go until I cleared 110K, and I do a lot of city driving. But. In the last six months, the car has just started falling apart. First the clutch, then the parking brake (twice), the struts, the suspension system, the air conditioner is leaking... I've put more money into this car in the last three months than I did the whole rest of the time I've owned it.
Why toyota why
by ctmatrix on Apr 12, 2012
Vehicle: 2005 Toyota Matrix AWD 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Toyota 5 speed matrix owner--- this car is a great care and i will miss her.This toyota is going on her second transmission at 160k, one trans came with the car the second one came from toyata parts dept new. Toyota says no know problems with 5/speed they must not look online,or why do they stock so many in the wharehouse if there is no problem. I can see clutch problems from many driving styles but the trans imploding and the clutch and p plate and throwout bearing are still fine. Toyota you are on your way to being GM---we do not know anything about your problem. The matrix is a great car buy the automatic-- Toyata will not stand behind the 5/speed Car will go 300k or 3 5/speeds why

Peppy little car
by threesa on Sep 1, 2011
Vehicle: 2005 Toyota Matrix AWD 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
I bought my 2005 Matrix new and have been pretty satisfied with it. It's comfortable (even for passengers), spacious, reliable, and quite peppy. This car is not 4-wheel drive but it easily climbs dirt roads in the mountains. Probably the only fault with it is it doesn't handle inclement weather well at all (I live in the mountains so this posed a serious problem with the snow). I eventually had to put some sandbags down on the passenger foot areas to provide additional weight. Since my usual passengers are 3 dogs, this hasn't encumbered them but, for older children or adults sitting in the back, this would most likely be quite uncomfortable.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study (Phase I completed) of dasatinib followed by a phase II randomized study. Patients are grouped according to study (1 vs 2). Patients in the phase II portion are stratified according to age (> 70 years of age vs ≤ 70 years of age), and ECOG performance status (0 vs 1 or 2). Phase I: Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive oral dasatinib once or twice daily on days 1-14 until the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (Phase I completed) Phase II (patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms): - Arm I: Patients receive bevacizumab as in phase I and dasatinib at the MTD as determined in phase I. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive bevacizumab as in phase I and oral placebo once or twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life is assessed by FACT-Br questionnaire at baseline and prior to every other course (no longer assessed as of 5/18/2009)(newly added as of 2/2/2010). Tissue samples are collected at baseline for biomarker studies and assessed by IHC, RT-PCR, and FISH. Patients undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI at baseline, day 3 of course 1, and day 1 of course 2.OBJECTIVES: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of dasatinib in combination with bevacizumab in high grade glioma patients. (Phase I) 2. To assess the safety and adverse events of the dasatinib in combination with bevacizumab in this patient population. (Phase I) 3. To estimate the efficacy of the bevacizumab combination with dasatinib in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme as measured by progression free survival at six months and compare it with the efficacy of bevacizumab alone. (Phase II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: 1. To describe the overall toxicity associated with the dasatinib/bevacizumab combination. (Phase I) 2. To describe any preliminary evidence of antitumor activity. (Phase I) 3. To assess the time to disease progression. (Phase II) 4. To assess the safety and toxicity of the bevacizumab combination with dasatinib in this patient population. (Phase II) 5. To estimate the efficacy of the bevacizumab combination with dasatinib in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme as measured by overall survival time and compare it with the efficacy of bevacizumab alone. (Phase II) 6. To assess the impact of the treatment on the patient's quality of life (QOL) using the overall score from the FACT-Br (Phase II) After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for up to 3 years.
Inclusion Criteria: Phase I: Histologic confirmation of grade 3 or 4 glioma, including astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and mixed gliomas, as determined by pre-registration central pathology review Phase II: Histological confirmation of glioblastoma multiforme (grade 4 astrocytoma) as determined by pre-registration central pathology review;

wMax: can not reliably suspend the computer
Jul 6, 2007 at 11:25pm
wMax: can not reliably suspend the computerhi maxers, I have searched the forum trying to find if there is a solution to a power management problem I'm having on my XP machine. When I suspend the computer, and come back, Max will be using 100% CPU in task manager. Ive tried flipping audio on and off and open and closing patches but it stays stuck at 100%. Only closing down and reopening the application seems to fix it. Does anyone else experience similar behavior? Thanks. |
Jul 6, 2007 at 11:37pm
I have similar problems on a Toshiba Satellite with Centrino Duo T5200, XP SP2, and 2GB ram. I cannot go into hibernate or standby and expect max to work when I come back. For what it's worth, this isn't a problem for me; I just save and quit max before I re-open. |

Jul 7, 2007 at 1:45am
by turning off the scheduler, do you mean like turning off timing objects such as metro and such? I don't have the documentation in front of me, but when I go home I'll look at the ;max messages and see if something helps. an update is that I think the problem only occurs when suspending for more than an hour. Ive suspended it a few times today and havent noticed the same thing. I suspended last night before going to bed and woke up to max at full CPU usage. DSP was off and the patch wasn't using any timing events that I'm aware of. |
Aug 3, 2007 at 8:52pm
Hello, I'm still experiencing a lot of problems with this. I noticed that if I leave the computer on standby, and come back, say around 4 hours, the CPU will be at 50% and stuck their until I send max a seteventqueue [i think thats the message] other than the value I currently have set. After the scheduler is changed, the cpu usage in task manager will come down back to 0%. HOWEVER, sometimes Max will be completely frozen when coming back and it is impossible to reset the scheduler in this way. Is there an object that reports when a computer is about to go into standby? Also, how do you shut off the scheduler entirely? Would setting the interval to 0 do the trick? james |
Aug 3, 2007 at 8:54pm
Oh the reason why its stuck at 50% and not 100% is because its a dual core machine. thanks again. |

Aug 3, 2007 at 10:29pm
roman, my man, not only does it take much less time to come out of standby, but it also preserves whatever apps you've got open. couple that using only about 1.5 watts while suspended and you've got a much more effective and efficient setup for someone who only gets a few hours here and there to be in front of the computer. I rarely ever shut down anymore. adstatus is MSP related. the scheuler i'm referring to is the Max scheduler, the ms timer, not the sample one. right now its set to every 2ms. the problem i'm having can sometimes be fixed by sending ";max seteventinterval X", where X is a new number to the value that's already been set. Please note that audio has been turned off to test whether or not its an audio problem. With audio off, max will still take up an entire core when coming out of a >2 hour standby on XP SP2.

Still the same. Stopping the scheduler with control+period before suspending doesn't make a difference. When I come back from standby [or hibernate], max is using the entire core allocated to it and won't free up most of the time unless the program is restarted. Sometimes, sending a ;max eventinterval with a new value other than what it's set at will do the trick, but only sometimes. |

Insane 100 Vehicle Chain Freeway Wreck Kills Two, Injures Over 120
Austin, TX (Law Firm Newswire) February 21 , 2013 – It only takes one second to change a life. This crash injured 120 and killed two.
"We've never seen the likes of a massive chain reaction pile-up like this one," remarked Austin personal injury attorney Bobby Lee, of Lee, Gober and Reyna in Austin, Texas. "It was foggy, people couldn't see where they were going and then, it happened, the first of many crashes on Interstate 10."
It was early in the morning, and most thought the fog would dissipate before too long. It was also a holiday, and people had places to go and people to see. The first multi-car wreck happened at roughly 8:45 a.m. and was followed by a massive chain of 100 vehicles also colliding, in both east and westbound lanes of the Interstate. Two were killed as they were hit from behind by an 18-wheeler.
The several mile stretch of mangled vehicles included every imaginable form of transportation from cars to minivans and from pickup trucks to commercial vehicles. The injured were lying alongside the highway and being taken to ambulances on stretchers. Just about 120 people were taken to hospital for medical care, with the most seriously injured being taken to Houston. It took all day to clear both lanes of the debris from the mayhem.
"The police report was not clear on precisely what started this horrendous accident, meaning what touched off the first multi-car accident. The fog was definitely a factor, but they still needed to determine what else set off the rest of the collisions. There was speculation someone, possibly a big rig, rear-ended another vehicle and that it pushed it into the car in front of it and once the domino effect kicked in, it was a nightmare event," added Lee.
In a situation such as this, filing a personal injury lawsuit becomes a major challenge to determine who was responsible for what. Final police reports, that will likely include an accident reconstruction diagram, will be crucial to sorting the whole event out and determining who was responsible for the first set of accidents that triggered the rest. "Negligence is obviously present," suggested Lee "or there would not be 120 injured people and two dead."
Even in a case like this one, where it is not clear what started the mess, it is imperative to make contact with a skilled personal injury lawyer. "Get up-to-date on legal issues that you may face," said Lee. "You are entitled to compensation for your injuries, even if it takes some time to figure out who the defendants are. Never assume that you do not have any recourse because the person who caused the accident is not known at the time you talk to a lawyer. That information will be made available later."

- Some big rig under-ride guards are not effective in certain kinds of crashes
Big rigs have under-ride guards to prevent cars from sliding under them during a crash. Some guards are ineffective. If you travel on the highways a fair amount, you may find yourself involved in a collision with a semi-truck. It could happen in the blink of an eye, during a moment of inattention or as a result of road conditions. No matter what the cause, if you slam into the rear end of a big rig, the consequences may be deadly. In the hopes of reducing deaths as a result of vehicles sliding under 18-wheelers, the trucking industry created and [...] - High speed collision caused by drunk driver with BAC of .17 percent
It goes without saying, if you drink and drive, there are often deadly consequences. The accident scene in this case was a collection of torn and twisted metal, busted glass, torn off vehicle parts and incensed drivers. The man who caused the collision ran a red light at an intersection. Police determined later he had been going so fast, even if he had applied the brakes, the accident would have still happened. A 2012 BMW and a Jeep Cherokee met in a clash of metal and screaming tires in the middle of the road. The Cherokee driver was incensed to [...] - Voice texting while driving is not any safer than hands-on texting while driving
In an attempt to make texting while driving safer, cellphone makers have started promoting the voice to text feature. It is still a distraction and not any safer than manual texting while driving. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicates hands-free cellphones in manual texting mode increase the risk of a crash six-fold. If they are in voice to texting mode, the risk is fourfold. There is no safety benefit in switching from manual texting to voice-activated texting. In fact, it is deceiving to the driver to think that voice to text is safer, allowing them to talk even more [...]

An Early Father's Day for Ellis Marsalis
June 17, 2009
It wasn't easy, but New Orleans jazz pianist and patriarch Ellis Marsalis managed to cram a few words in edgewise as the annual Duke Ellington Jazz Festival drew to an exuberant close at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall on Monday night.
Dubbed "Celebrating a Jazz Master," the sold-out concert found Marsalis surrounded by family and friends onstage, all eager to toast and roast him. The salute was peppered with tunes designed to evoke various aspects of Marsalis's five-decade career and prominently featured musical collaborations with four of his sons.
The evening opened with some Louis Jordan-inspired jive and closed with guest (and Marsalis protege) Harry Connick Jr. leading a fulgent Crescent City parade up and down the aisles, complete with a twirling umbrella.
In between were reminders of Marsalis's abundant gifts: his winning way with a ballad (eldest son Branford called him a "closet sentimentalist"); his natural affinity for swift bop tempos; his understated way of creating elegantly re-harmonized accompaniments (he and Connick, in fine voice, were warmly paired on "Stardust"); and his mastery of traditional New Orleans rhythms and funk offshoots.
And certainly among the evening's great pleasures was the chance to hear Marsalis and special guest Billy Taylor turn "Body and Soul" into a haunting rhapsody for two pianos. Marsalis, 74, also got a chance to team up with pianist Connick when "Sweet Georgia Brown" acquired a sharply syncopated accent.
Playing with sons Branford on tenor and soprano saxophones, Wynton on trumpet, Delfeayo on trombone and Jason on drums and vibes — and with the support of bassist Eric Revis and drummer Herlin Riley — Marsalis was in typically relaxed form, contributing to moods tinged with various shades of blues and bursting with jubilant polyphony.
The sons were armed to the teeth with family anecdotes — some heartfelt, some uproarious — and Connick, who recalled being "traumatized" by the Marsalis brothers in his youth, was quick to add a few more.
Branford and Wynton recalled early childhood encounters with the jazz life ("old men telling nasty jokes") and witnessing their father's unwavering dedication to his work, no matter how small or inattentive the audience. During one noisy and poorly attended hotel gig, Wynton leaned over the piano and asked his father if all the chatter bothered him, only to be told: "Shhh!"
By far the most stirring and eloquent spoken-word tribute was delivered by Wynton's younger sibling, writer Ellis Marsalis III, who recited a poem he recently composed for his father. It not only drew a standing ovation from the crowd, it left his brothers utterly speechless — that is, until Wynton finally broke the silence. "Now I'm sorry I used to beat you up, man," he said.
When it was the honoree's chance to speak, Ellis Marsalis quickly deflected the attention. Receiving the festival's Lifetime Achievement Award, he thanked his wife, Dolores, for always being "next to me, or out front, leading the way."
Dolores, who attended but declined to appear onstage, was also hailed by her sons for her sacrifices and fortitude — as well as her unambiguous approach to parenting.
Indeed, Wynton recalled complaining once too often about having to eat spaghetti for dinner, back when he was a youngster, full of himself and totally oblivious to the demands placed on his mother's time and energy. After scooping the plate off the table, his mom dumped the spaghetti onto her son's Afro. "Every king deserves a crown," she quipped.

At the end of the play, after Walter has stood up as a "man," the family packs up the apartment and moves. In the very last scene, Mama takes a look around the apartment, grabs her symbolic plant and exits. Her last actions demonstrate that she is saying farewell to a place where she helped her children (and her plant) grow so that all of them can move on to a place with more "sunshine" and room for them to grow more.
Posted by scarletpimpernel on December 15, 2009 at 7:27 AM (Answer #1)
The ending to the play shows how the Younger family will strive for their dream regardless of the many factors that dispel them from doing so. The Karl Lindners of the world, the neighbors who doubt them, as well as the social conditions that challenge families like the Youngers as well as the personal demons that have gripped Walter and other members of the family were overcome in the final scene. At this particular moment, the ability to be able to establish a better life for one's family is valued above all. This makes the overall ending of the play a positive one, but one that is filled with challenge. It is almost as if Hansberry is indicating that while there is hope for the future, there will always be struggle and challenge inherent within it.

It's finally beginning, the long awaited men's hockey tournament at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia kicks off with a matchup between two top eight teams in the tournament as the Czech Republic takes on Sweden.
Sweden is still rattled by the news that Henrik Sedin and Johan Franzen aren't able to play. Daniel Sedin is still there, and Henrik Zetterberg will lead an extremely talented roster, headlined by a fast moving defensive core boasting stars like Erik Karlsson and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
The Czech defense is essentially the complete opposite, with a far less mobile, more defense oriented defensive squad, with the only offensive minded players being long time veterans on the back nines of their respective careers in Tomas Kaberle and Marek Zidlicky.

Hey guys. I thought we should have our own thread for the 2007 Clinton Lake, IL Meet. Don't have to weed through all the other Illinois meets. I don't know if you can move posts to other locations or not. But I am going to post our day here.Me and my Brother In-Law,(KippT - Not a Member) got there just after 7am. BRKAT was there and we got to meet John H and The Basshole for the first time. Sorry I didn't get to fish along side getdanet1 and his partner. We headed to a Walleye hole with BRKAT and got nothing there. Decided to go up into Jungle Cove and try the standing trees. Caught one tiny Largemouth Bass. Spent 3 hours cruising through there. Time to move on...We headed up to the discharge area to meet with John H and The Basshole. They were almost at their limit on White Bass. I didn't catch anything with a Rat-L-Trap as was suggested. KippT Caught a Smallie and after awhile he caught a White Bass. I was tired of not catching anything...so I broke out the heavy equipment...5'6" Light Rod and Reel with a slip bobber and a minnow. Boy that was my ticket. I started by catching a Catfish and got him to the boat, only to have him break my 4 lb. mono line break while trying to get him in the boat. Re-tie with a circle hook and more minnows(dead ones too). Cat #2, #3 and #4. Oh this is fun!!! Well we caught 8 cats all together. Here is our pic of Cats: KippT had 2 Cats and a White Bass and I had 6 Cats on the day.Then we headed back to the ramp, showed off our catch and snapped some photos. John H and The Basshole had a nice string of White Bass and some nice Catfish. I didn't get pics of those. Here is our group picture. But BRKAT and Getdanet1 had left already. Left to Right: The Basshole, jbird68, KippT and john h.Was a nice trip...but that drive has to be my limit (3 hours one-way) for a one day trip.I need to take more action shots from the boat to really show how much fun we had.

Second Street Connector Plans Continue
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Plans to build a 'pilot block' and bridge as part of the Second Street corridor revitalization project have been approved.
Macon City Council passed the resolution to build the bridge that will connect Little Richard Penniman Boulevard and Second Street. It's a key part of making the corridor a pedestrian-friendly path that would connect Gray Highway and Mercer University.
The urban design team CHA/Huntley partners will also build a 'pilot block' to display the improvements between Cherry and Poplar Streets.
In November 2011, voters approved to use $8 million from the Special Local Options Sales Tax to fund the project.

A Chromosomal Rearrangement Hotspot Can Be Identified from Population Genetic Variation and Is Coincident with a Hotspot for Allelic Recombination The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 79, Issue 5, 1 November 2006, Pages 890-902 Sarah J. Lindsay, Mehrdad Khajavi, James R. Lupski and Matthew E. Hurles Abstract Insights into the origins of structural variation and the mutational mechanisms underlying genomic disorders would be greatly improved by a genomewide map of hotspots of nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Moreover, our understanding of sequence variation within the duplicated sequences that are substrates for NAHR lags far behind that of sequence variation within the single-copy portion of the genome. Perhaps the best-characterized NAHR hotspot lies within the 24-kb-long Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A)–repeats (REPs) that sponsor deletions and duplications that cause peripheral neuropathies. We investigated structural and sequence diversity within the CMT1A-REPs, both within and between species. We discovered a high frequency of retroelement insertions, accelerated sequence evolution after duplication, extensive paralogous gene conversion, and a greater than twofold enrichment of SNPs in humans relative to the genome average. We identified an allelic recombination hotspot underlying the known NAHR hotspot, which suggests that the two processes are intimately related. Finally, we used our data to develop a novel method for inferring the location of an NAHR hotspot from sequence variation within segmental duplications and applied it to identify a putative NAHR hotspot within the LCR22 repeats that sponsor velocardiofacial syndrome deletions. We propose that a large-scale project to map sequence variation within segmental duplications would reveal a wealth of novel chromosomal-rearrangement hotspots. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (748 kb) |

Chuzhanova, Cornelia Senger, Eduard Serra, Conxi Lazaro, Montserrat Gilaberte, Katharina Wimmer, Viktor-Felix Mautner and Hildegard Kehrer-Sawatzki Abstract Approximately 5% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) exhibit gross deletions that encompass the NF1 gene and its flanking regions. The breakpoints of the common 1.4-Mb (type 1) deletions are located within low-copy repeats (NF1-REPs) and cluster within a 3.4-kb hotspot of nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Here, we present the first comprehensive breakpoint analysis of type 2 deletions, which are a second type of recurring NF1 gene deletion. Type 2 deletions span 1.2 Mb and are characterized by breakpoints located within the SUZ12 gene and its pseudogene, which closely flank the NF1-REPs. Breakpoint analysis of 13 independent type 2 deletions did not reveal any obvious hotspots of NAHR. However, an overrepresentation of polypyrimidine/polypurine tracts and triplex-forming sequences was noted in the breakpoint regions that could have facilitated NAHR. Intriguingly, all 13 type 2 deletions identified so far are characterized by somatic mosaicism, which indicates a positional preference for mitotic NAHR within the NF1 gene region. Indeed, whereas interchromosomal meiotic NAHR occurs between the NF1-REPs giving rise to type 1 deletions, NAHR during mitosis appears to occur intrachromosomally between the SUZ12 gene and its pseudogene, thereby generating type 2 deletions. Such a clear distinction between the preferred sites of mitotic versus meiotic NAHR is unprecedented in any other genomic disorder induced by the local genomic architecture. Additionally, 12 of the 13 mosaic type 2 deletions were found in females. The marked female preponderance among mosaic type 2 deletions contrasts with the equal sex distribution noted for type 1 and/or atypical NF1 deletions. Although an influence of chromatin structure was strongly suspected, no sex-specific differences in the methylation pattern exhibited by the SUZ12 gene were apparent that could explain the higher rate of mitotic recombination in females.

Evolutionary History of Copy-Number-Variable Locus for the Low-Affinity Fcγ Receptor: Mutation Rate, Autoimmune Disease, and the Legacy of Helminth Infection The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 90, Issue 6, 8 June 2012, Pages 973-985 Lee R. Machado, Robert J. Hardwick, Jennifer Bowdrey, Helen Bogle, Timothy J. Knowles, Manuela Sironi and Edward J. Hollox Abstract Both sequence variation and copy-number variation (CNV) of the genes encoding receptors for immunoglobulin G (Fcγ receptors) have been genetically and functionally associated with a number of autoimmune diseases. However, the molecular nature and evolutionary context of this variation is unknown. Here, we describe the structure of the CNV, estimate its mutation rate and diversity, and place it in the context of the known functional alloantigen variation of these genes. Deletion of Fcγ receptor IIIB, associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, is a result of independent nonallelic homologous recombination events with a frequency of approximately 0.1%. We also show that pathogen diversity, in particular helminth diversity, has played a critical role in shaping the functional variation at these genes both between mammalian species and between human populations. Positively selected amino acids are involved in the interaction with IgG and include some amino acids that are known polymorphic alloantigens in humans. This supports a genetic contribution to the hygiene hypothesis, which states that past evolution in the context of helminth diversity has left humans with an array of susceptibility alleles for autoimmune disease in the context of a helminth-free environment. This approach shows the link between pathogens and autoimmune disease at the genetic level and provides a strategy for interrogating the genetic variation underlying autoimmune-disease risk and infectious-disease susceptibility.

Recurrent deletions have been associated with numerous diseases and genomic disorders. Few, however, have been resolved at the molecular level because their breakpoints often occur in highly copy-number-polymorphic duplicated sequences. We present an approach that uses a combination of somatic cell hybrids, array comparative genomic hybridization, and the specificity of next-generation sequencing to determine breakpoints that occur within segmental duplications. Applying our technique to the 17q21.31 microdeletion syndrome, we used genome sequencing to determine copy-number-variant breakpoints in three deletion-bearing individuals with molecular resolution. For two cases, we observed breakpoints consistent with nonallelic homologous recombination involving only H2 chromosomal haplotypes, as expected. Molecular resolution revealed that the breakpoints occurred at different locations within a 145 kbp segment of >99% identity and disrupt KANSL1 (previously known as KIAA1267). In the remaining case, we found that unequal crossover occurred interchromosomally between the H1 and H2 haplotypes and that this event was mediated by a homologous sequence that was once again missing from the human reference. Interestingly, the breakpoints mapped preferentially to gaps in the current reference genome assembly, which we resolved in this study. Our method provides a strategy for the identification of breakpoints within complex regions of the genome harboring high-identity and copy-number-polymorphic segmental duplication. The approach should become particularly useful as high-quality alternate reference sequences become available and genome sequencing of individuals' DNA becomes more routine.

NairUniversity of Pennsylvania - Finance Department Anthony SaundersNew York University - Leonard N. Stern School of Business Nadia MassoudYork University - Schulich School of Business EFA 2004 Maastricht Meetings Paper No. 4601 Review of Financial Studies Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the disciplining role of banks and bank debt in the market for corporate control. We find that relationship bank lending intensity and bank client network have positive effects on the probability of a borrowing firm becoming a target. This effect is enhanced in cases where the target and acquirer have a relationship with the same bank. Moreover, we utilize an experiment to show that the effects of relationship bank lending intensity on takeover probability are not driven by endogeneity. Finally, we also investigate reasons motivating a bank's informational role in the market for corporate control.

It's not a secret that the Mets have been depending on Matt Harvey to pitch well this season in order to win games. On Friday afternoon, the ace of the staff went the extra mile and knocked in a key run in addition to pitching a great game. Harvey struck out six batters and walked none in 7.1 innings. Oddly enough, every strikeout recorded by Harvey was the third out of an inning.
The Cubs scored both of their runs in the bottom of the first inning. With runners on second and third and one out, Alfonso Soriano hit a slow roller to shortstop that was cleanly fielded by Ruben Tejada. It looked like the Mets would trade a run for an out on the play, but Ike Davis could not handle Tejada's low throw, and two runs scored instead.
The Mets scored their first two runs on solo home runs by David Wright in the first and Daniel Murphy in the fourth. The game was tied 2-2 from the fourth until the seventh, when Harvey came to the plate with Rick Ankiel on second base and two outs. As if he had not done enough already, Harvey ripped a single through the left side to give New York the lead.
Chicago threatened in the eighth when Darwin Barney hit a leadoff bloop single. Later in the inning, with Barney on second and one out, David DeJesus hit a line drive single to right field off of Mets reliever Scott Rice. Barney was waved around third base, but Marlon Byrd made a brilliant throw to nail Barney at the plate and preserve the one-run margin.

The eligible men are laid out like items on a menu that I can scroll through by flicking my thumb. I haven't even tapped on a single photo yet when—brrring—a new message appears: "Wassup?" I ignore it and return my attention to the sea of forty-five-year-old men with usernames like "Drunky." Anyone worth messaging in here? I don't have much time to think about it—brrring brrrring—because two new messages arrive in the chat window. "Whaat are you up to?" and "hey there." Ignore; ignore. I'm seeing so many men with questionable facial hair that I double-check my profile to make sure that I haven't accidentally indicated a preference for goatees. Brrring brrrring brrrrrring. I scream and toss the phone to the other end of the couch, as if this action will repel the men within it. Even though I know these men can't see my exact location, I feel cornered, overwhelmed.

At the end of the video we'll tell you how we got this message … and who it was from…
You must wake up and take back responsibility for yourselves.
If you could step outside your perceptions for a moment you could see…
… that the vastness of the universe is teeming with possibilities…
… and even the future that I come from can be changed now.
You must look into yourselves. You need to slow down, so you can learn quicker.
Meditate, pray to your higher being, and follow your intuition
If you begin to do these things NOW you will find a new future opening up for you… a great future.
Take heart because when the times get hard we tend to go back to our roots in ourselves…
… We start to find what is really important in our lives, and it is not just stuff.
Loving, healing, sharing, communicating, caring, simply being and so much more, are all only possible in the 'living now'…
…It is out real connection to everything.
Think and dream big. Every person changes the world in some way. Make your contribution a big one
Your mind is a very powerful and sophisticated vehicle.
Learn to use the rest of that untapped 90% that limits you from true freedom.
Pay attention to dreams and children, there is wisdom to be learned if you choose to see.
Continue to take care of your own DNA and that of your children…
… by eliminating toxins, relieving stress, and eating natural foods.
You have the choice how you live this experience. Choose wisely and Be accordingly.
Avoid regret rather strive for progress.
Above all, treat everyone; young or old, rich or poor, black or white with courtesy, love and respect.
You are a being with infinite amounts of potential.
Once you accept this truth, the world outside of you will just b a reflection of who you really are inside.
Choose not to accept the human limitations and disempowering conditions of your time. Choose to acknowledge what is…
… allow yourself to experience the moment, and appreciate every aspect of life you create.
Remember to re-member yourselves.
Believe in yourself. Believe in your innate power.
Know that every time you believe and really feel it, creation alters herself by bending to your will.
Keep up the belief and soon the trees will bow in your presence.
Ending war is possible if enough people truly believe it has already ended and hold onto this vision.
A single person in every city and town of the world holding the same vision puts it into warp speed.
Believe and reinvent the fine art of pretending as if it's real.
Believe that we are all connected. Across continents, across time, we are connected by the simple fact that we exist.
Whether in struggle or harmony on Earth. Believe that love is the ultimate good.
Love creates and nurtures. Give and receive love and work towards a better future.
Live in joy. Love unconditionally. The Ripple effect is amazing.
Decide now to become one with the universal consciousness in all human endeavours.
Aspire to higher spirituality, greater awareness and peaceful serenity.
Stop quibbling and bickering over triviality. You cannot imagine the glory, beauty, and soulful freedom that await you.
Fear not. The best is yet to come.
You tended to that which supported your life force, fed it with truth and when you learned how to do this…
… you taught your children from the cradle, and they in turn taught theirs, thank you, we are here because you did this.
My era is grand and beautiful. The world is peaceful and safe… You are part of the quest that gave rise to it.
This journey will be long and sometimes trying; even now it isn't yet over.
Don't lose hope, Don't fear. Tomorrow is coming. You will create it.
Those of the Light do not be discouraged – your heart filled diligence to spread the Great Love…
… and awaken humanity to a passionate and joyful way of being, transformed the world in ways you did imagine.
The energies of Oneness, Peace, Love and Gratitude abound in a world where every Being is having a glorious grand adventure.
We love you.
We have no borders or boundaries, no bombs or guns.
We all live together as one. You must understand that we are all but one.
Be Renegades for truth, justice and humanity.
If we all work together as one with unconditional love for humanity we can accomplish anything.
So… where did we get this message from? …
… From you.
We asked our Ezine readers "If you were living 100 years in the future and could send back a message to humanity today, what would it be?"
You answered and we put 23 of your messages together in this video to create 1 united message.
Individually, you are amazing.
Together, we are truly powerful…
Welcome and thanks for visiting InspirationHub! My name's Matt, it's awesome to meet you! Who am I?

Since when is a 15% raise of their dividends and buy back a bad deal for share holders???
I am wondering why so many comments on a hundred and one issues and none of them related to GE. I am more interested on why this is not a $30.00 stock and can be done to accomplish this.
At this share price, I would like to see a raise in the dividend and then a two for one split. This would bring in more shareholders at a lower level and it would not take long for this stock to jump up again to new highs.
I am sorry I as I wrote in the wrong amount in, it was .90 cents not $90.00.
Is this good news or bad news as the stock is down $90.00 dollars?
This is not the all time high unless you got in in the last couple of years as my cost basis is still around $67.57, so I still have a way to go to break even. I do like the comeback that WFC has been doing though this past year and wish the rest of my bank stocks were doing as well.

With my Top Ten this week I was fighting with myself as to what theme I should go with. I took a look at the films coming out this week and even though I expect The Back Up Plan to be rated as one of the worst romantic comedies ever made I couldn't help myself to think that this was my opportunity to point you all in the right direction. Here are 10 better films about pregnancy:
10. Precious (2009) (dir. Lee Daniels)
This movie isn't my favourite but it beats out Traffic only because it's overall more relevant to the theme. It's about Precious, a girl who's being abused by her horrible mother and uneducated as she tries to find a way out of her situation. Did I also mention that she's pregnant for the second time with her father's child? Yup, this movie is rough, but a good movie.
9. Fools Rush In (1997) (dir. Andy Tennant)
It's a movie starring Salma Hayek, how can I not love it? After a one night stand, Alex gets Isabel pregnant, so they decide to get married. We are taken through the next nine months of their lives as the try to get along and find love in this mess of a situation. This is a movie that I watched every morning when I was in high school just because it came on TV a lot and it grew on me more and more each time. I'm not sure what I would think if I were to revisit it today but it's definitely is worth a mention for nostalgia's sake.
8. Father of the Bride Part II (1995) (dir. Charles Shyer)
What do you think happens to a man when he finds out that his daughter and wife are planning to have a child each at the same time? With great comedic performances from Steve Martin and Martin Short, I can't help but smile as I remember memories of watching this film with my parents and watching them laugh a lot more than I did.
7. Junior (1994) (dir. Ivan Reitman)
Why is it only women can get pregnant? Well the acting giant that is Arnold Schwarzenegger is out to prove this wrong. Of all the roles for me to remember the senator for this might be in my top five as favourite. Alongside Danny DeVito and Emma Thompson we get one of the most outlandish pregnancy tales you'll ever see in film.
6. Rosemary's Baby (1968) (dir. Roman Polanski)
It's a horror classic. Rosemary has always wanted to have a baby and now is the time. However, after a rocky evening of foggy memories she begins to get odd ideas of witchcraft and crazy neighbours. Is she or isn't she impregnated with something dark and evil? We have to wait nine months to find out and find out what evil plot is going on and who is really involved. For me this movie remained minimally interesting until the final scene with a strong ending it became a new found genre favourite for me.
