The KM-855 is a true Kentucky thoroughbred.
The pedigree is noble and a close look at the Kentucky KM-855 shows that the DNA is vintage. From the split-lip neck/body joint to the delicate mother-of-pearl inlays gracing the fretboard and peghead, the KM-855 has the traditional look and feel associated with the classic instruments of the mid-1920s. One chop and you will know that magic is there too.
An abbreviated fingerboard extension allows you to dig out the fat tone without the accompanying pick clatter on the fretboard. A comfortable radiused ebony fingerboard significantly reduces left hand fatigue. The thin nitro lacquer finish offers superb protection without the tone degradation associated with thicker alternatives. It's attention to the details that sets these mandolins apart from the rest.
A mandolin that sings with solid wood tone. Pick a Kentucky today!

Comments about Kentucky KM-855 Artist F-Model Mandolin:
I am a novice on the mandolin, but have played musical instruments much of my life. This is my first F-model mandolin and I am extremely pleased with it. I spent many hours listening to the different brands, looking for a specific pure, warm sound that did not sound plastic. I found it in this mandolin. The instrument came fully set up, the finish is impeccable with no flaws, no scratches or glue globs. It was played directly out of the box. Due to personal preference, I changed my strings to a lighter weight but the strings which came on it were a great tone. The notes are playable nearly to the end of the fret board, at which point there is no concern as I will not be playing in that area anyway. On other instruments I have played, obtaining a sweet sound from the first fret e strings was a challenge, but it rings clear on this mandolin. The radiused fretboard is awesome. My other mandolin has a flat fretboard so there was a short adjustment period but only a few hours of playing to retrain the fingers! The inlay work is beautiful. It directly adds to the joy of having, using and viewing this instrument. My only challenge with this mandolin, is having to stop playing and put it away for the day.

Comments about Kentucky KM-855 Artist F-Model Mandolin:
This is my first mandolin but I think it's a good start. Some intonation issues with the 2nd string that can probably be worked out.
Fretboard & binding are excellent. Some minor glue gobs to clean up. The original bridge cracked on me but Saga sent a replacement promptly.
Good buy - shame it can't be made in the USA for the same price.

Soccer Wins Tenth Home Game in a Row
September 21, 2008
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College soccer team won their 10th home game in a row today against Randolph College. Samantha Hubbard (Sanford, NC) scored the only goal of the match to give Salem the 1-0 win. The Spirits outshot Randolph 38-6. Salem is back above .500 with a 4-3 record and Randolph dropped to 2-5 for the season.
Salem had several chances to score in the first half, including a penalty kick that Tatum Justice (Jacksonville, NC) kicked into the left post. Randolph's goalie, Victoria Johnson, continued to stop the Spirit's numerous attacks. Hubbard's goal came in the 60th minute off of an assist by Kim Wisen (Madison, OH). Andrea Baldwin recorded her second shutout of the season and had 4 saves on the day.
"We played our second strong match in two days today," said Coach Jay Callahan. "Randolph's goalie played the best game I have ever seen a DIII goalie play. We still need to do a better job of finishing our opportunities though."

The media theorist Marshall McLuhan once said, "I live right inside the radio when I listen," and as someone who spends his workdays at home alone, I know this all too well.
If you listen to radio, you know it's an intimate medium, and, no offense to my cat, for me, radio is an essential companion.
If you've ever known that feeling, even for a moment, then these three books might be on your wavelength.

Last month, in the Opera House in the small Vermont town of Plainfield, I attended a fundraising evening of drama and music for the legal costs of Institute For Social Ecology alumnus Camilo Viveiros. It was one of a number of fundraisers held to raise money for legal expenses.
Viveiros, a 30-year old social justice activist and tenants' rights organiser with the Massachussetts Alliance of HUD Tenants was one of over 400 arrested during non-violent demonstrations at the Republican Party Convention (R2K) in Philadelphia in August 2000.
The R2K protests brought together many activists from across the USA, on a range of social and economic justice issues in the wake of the Bush "electionâ€. Camilo now faces decades in jail if convicted of a first-degree felony charge for allegedly hurling a bicycle at John Timoney, Philadelphia's police commissioner.
Camilo, whose job is to help organise mainly elderly and disabled low-income tenants to organise and improve their living conditions, emphatically denies the charge. Friends and colleagues attest to his long history of non-violent community activism. Criminal charges against most of the other protesters arrested during that time have been dropped or thrown out of court.
Camilo and his supporters believe that he is being made an example of, that his charges are part of an ongoing orchestrated police campaign to crack down on free speech and the right to dissent and to criminalise protesters, in the wake of the mass mobilizations at Seattle in 1999.
A number of civil rights lawsuits have been taken against the City of Philadelphia and settled in favour of the plaintiffs, after the violent police operation against the R2K protests, which saw many beaten and wounded on the streets and in detention.
Camilo, along with Darby Landy and Eric Steinberg, the two others who face charges of assaulting Timoney, are the scapegoats to justify the massive scale and costs associated with the security overkill at that time. Camilo was held in jail for eleven days at the time, initially on a bail of US $450,000, before it was reduced to $150,000 and he was able to return home. His next trial is set for February 18 next year.
In a statement, he recounts: "The night I was arrested I was taken into an interrogation room for 13 hours. While I was in that room over 5 different detectives would come in and interrogate me. On three occasions a detective would open the door and literally say "show and tellâ€, then I heard the officer that saw me on display, being coached by a detective on what to say and charge, fitting my physical appearance into scenarios they were making up on the spot.â€
"The only way to stop these attempts to criminalise me and protests in general is to out-organise the forces of the state and capital that want to cheer me into prison.â€
Around the same time as the Plainfield fundraiser for Camilo Viveiros, Jaggi Singh, a good friend and comrade in Montreal circulated an email appealing for solidarity and support for his defence of criminal charges arising from arrests at political protests during the past two years.
I first got to know Jaggi during the protests and counter-activities at the 1997 Vancouver APEC Summit, when he was singled out by police for his organising work, nabbed and detained for several days while the APEC VIPs were in town.
He now faces four trials set for early 2003 in Montreal and Quebec City. While Jaggi does not face the lengthy prison sentences that hangs over Camilo Viveiros south of the border, crown attorneys are seeking to jail him for several months. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and is conducting his own defence.
Many ZNet readers may remember that Jaggi was again targeted by Canadian police during the anti-FTAA protests in April 2001, and imprisoned for 17 days. He still faces a charge of "participation in a riot†from that time, which carries a six-month jail sentence. Besides Jaggi, many others still face charges from Quebec City.
Other charges against him stem from participation in the G-20 protests in Montreal in October 2000. There he was arrested with co-accused Jonathan Aspireault-Masse for "participation in a riotâ€, and the lesser charges of illegal assembly and mischief. The Montreal Police claim that Jaggi's speech against the International Monetary Fund incited the crowd and that he announced the possibility of medical help as riot police and cavalry charged the crowd.
Then in September 2001, just over a week before we spoke together at a conference in Ottawa on the criminalisation of dissent, Jaggi was arrested after addressing an anti-war demonstration in Montreal through a microphone, and subsequently charged with breaking bail conditions from Quebec City.
"I am forbidden from using a megaphone anywhere in Canada, and I'm forbidden to be a "leader†(no joke, those are my actual conditions to this day),†he writes. "I know my conditions well, which is why I announced at the beginning of my speech that I was using a "microphoneâ€, not a "megaphoneâ€. Anyhow, the police can't tell the difference, and I'm going to trial before a judge in January.â€
Fighting the (in) justice system of the courts, the police and other state agencies is not designed to be easy on us. It can be a costly, time-consuming, stressful, draining, dehumanising and potentially isolating experience. On the other hand, it can also be empowering, a chance to turn the tables back on the state, and to expose an unjust system.
But not without the support of friends. For those of us that do take part in direct actions and non-violent protests, we need to remember it can be any one of us that happens to get dragged out of a crowd and arrested on any given day. For those of us that don't, can't or won't, we need to support them in any way that we can.
In many countries, not least throughout North America, the post-September 11 environment has seen a great deal of self-censorship and the shunning of taking to the streets – not to mention direct action – by some sections of the progressive community.
Some people have been saying that we all have to tone down our tactics and strategy because of September 11. That it is foolhardy to take to the streets, or organise civil disobedience actions. The more I think about it, the more I worry whether some of those advancing such arguments have latched onto September 11 as a disingenuous justification for distancing themselves from principled non-violent direct action in favour of activities which will not meaningfully challenge power or injustice.
9/11 has certainly given state authorities new justifications for coming down hard on activists, and equating political dissent – especially out on the streets – with "terrorismâ€. And who can say what impact the reinvigorated climate of fear, suspicion and hostility towards dissent will have on court decisions in these and other cases involving police and other state security agencies.
But it has always been easy enough for the police, the corporate media and others to construct and caricature people arrested during protest actions or occupations as violent extremists, and for activist communities to become divided over whose version of events they believe. If we begin to buy into such divisiveness, the other side has already won.
Camilo Viveiros and Jaggi Singh are only two examples of many, many cases of organisers and activists in many, many communities facing trials and jail for taking principled stands against injustice. They deserve whatever support and solidarity we can offer.
Having been both a defendant and plaintiff in cases relating to political actions I know what a difference packed courtrooms, solidarity messages, moral support, and help with legal expenses can make. Attempts to demonise and isolate activists and divide movements by trying to make examples out of some of us through arrest, prosecution and the threat of imprisonment is made that much more difficult when we stand together in support of our friends through their trials and tribulations.

Tax day is April 15th 2012 and there are still things you can do to maximize your refund this year and in the future.
Bernie Kent from Telemus Capital Partners breaks it down.
For this Tax Season:
· Take full advantage if IRA's including Roth's.
· Still can take deductions for 401K , SIMPLE or SEPs contributions made in 2013 for 2012
· Look at which family members can take deductions that are based on income threshold limits ( careful of Kiddie tax)
· If you are a small business owner coordinate your personal and business tax returns to the extent available
· Possibly look at ways to push income from 2013 back to 2012 if your tax bracket was lower in 2012
· Itemized deductions could be limited in 2013 so see if any way to claim them in 2012 instead
· Look at income deferral/ avoidance products such as 529 plans, Health Savings accounts,
· IRA charitable giving versus Direct
· Donating appreciated property ( avoid selling and taking capital gains)
· Consider transferring assets to children directly or even using AFR low rate based loans
· Consider low rate home equity loans to pay off nondeductible higher interest rate debt ( student loans etc.) depending on the situation and limits
· Asset location ( as well as allocation) are critical given higher investment income rates
Planning going forward ( be aware tax reforms and changes might not be over)

Police have arrested a driver who they say was drunk when he sped through a stop sign and caused the death of an elderly mother and her adult son.
Portland police say Daniel Johnson, age 29, had initially fled the scene of the crash along with two other passengers in his vehicle.
Dozens of witnesses watched the accident occur just before 5 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Southeast 28th Place and Southeast Gladstone.
Witnesses told FOX 12 that Johnson's Escalade blasted through the intersection and slammed into the car, which then crashed into a pole.
"It was just a huge crash, just ear-shattering," said Becky Thomas, who witnessed the crash from a restaurant up the street. "Glass flying and you could just see by looking the car nobody could have survived it."
"We heard the guy coming up really fast behind us," said Erin Bailey, who was walking on the sidewalk when it happened. "So we turned around to see what was going on. He did not even tap the breaks, he just flew through that intersection at about 60 mph and hit that car."
Police say Johnson and two unidentified passengers ran on foot away from the crash scene, while a third passenger, 28-year-old Benjamin Arce, and a dog remained in the SUV.
Arce was transported to a Portland hospital for treatment to non-life-threatening injuries. The dog was taken by Multnomah County Animal Control.
Johnson was eventually located by police at Southeast 29th Avenue and Powell Boulevard, where he was taken into custody.
The two people killed have been identified as 55-year-old Paul Lawrence Knepper and his mother, 90-year-old Hazel Agnes Knepper. Both died at the scene.
"My uncle Paul was an athlete and a scholar and he was a teacher and a writer," said John Knepper, who lost his grandmother and uncle in the crash. "My grandma Hazel had a heart of gold and took very good care of all her grandchildren, and my mother and father. She was always there for us."
John Knepper said his uncle and grandmother were extremely close and would go on daily walks in the park.
"Sometimes tough things bring you closer and that's what my family has done," he said. "We're spending time together and just being there for each other."
Johnson is facing charges that include manslaughter, felony hit and run, assault and DUII. He will make his first court appearance Monday.
Police say these are the 10th and 11th traffic fatalities of 2013.
Anyone with information on the other two passengers who are still outstanding is asked to contact Officer Pete Kurronen at (503) 823-2208.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2012)
A roadster is an open (without a fixed roof or side weather protection) two-seat car with emphasis on sporty handling. While roadsters often have soft-tops, retractable hard-tops are becoming more common.[1]
In 1916, the Society of Automobile Engineers defined a roadster as: "an open car seating two or three. It may have additional seats on running boards or in rear deck."[2] Additional seating in the rear deck was known as a rumble seat or a dickey seat. A roadster is still defined as an open car with two seats.[3][4]
Roadster bodies were offered on automobiles of all sizes and classes, from mass market cars like the Ford Model T and the Austin 7 to extremely expensive cars like the Cadillac V-16, the Duesenberg Model J, and even the Bugatti Royale. They are popular with collectors, often valued over other open styles.[citation needed]
|Traditional roadsters
Traditionally, roadsters did not have windows; in some instances, they did not have doors. A few manufacturers and fabricators still offer roadsters that meet the strict description. These include Morgan, with the windowless Roadster, Caterham, with the doorless Seven, and Ariel, with the bodyless Atom. Despite these examples, the traditional roadster has been superseded by two-seat convertibles with side windows that retract into the doors. These convertibles, including the Alfa Romeo Spider, MGB, and Triumph TR4, have been accepted as roadsters. The term "roadster" now covers all two-seat convertibles, including those with power tops or retractable hardtops.[citation needed]
|Modern roadsters
The American hot rod is based on pre-World War II roadsters and coupes. Late run Model Ts and 1932 Fords were the most popular starting points.
The term roadster applies to front-engined AAA/USAC Championship Cars, associated with the Indianapolis 500. The Roadster engine and drive shaft are offset from the centerline of the car. This allows the driver to sit lower in the chassis and facilitated a weight offset which is beneficial on oval tracks.
One story of why this type of racing car is referred to as a "roadster" is that a team was preparing a new car for the Indianapolis 500. They had it covered in a corner of their shop. If they were asked about their car they would try and obscure its importance by saying that it was just their (hot rod) "roadster". After the Indianapolis racer was made public, the "roadster" name was still attached to it.
Frank Kurtis built the first roadster to race the 1952 Indianapolis 500. It was driven by Bill Vukovich who led for most of the race until a steering failure eliminated him. The Howard Keck owned team with Vukovich driving went on to win the 1953 and 1954 contests with the same car. Bob Sweikert won the 1955 500 in a Kurtis after Vukovich was killed while leading. A. J. Watson, George Salih and Quinn Epperly were other notable Roadster constructors. Watson built roadsters won in 1956, 1959 - 1964 though the 1961 and 1963 winners were actually close copies built from Watson designs. The 1957 and 1958 winner was the same car built by Salih with help by Epperly built with a unique placement of the engine in a 'lay down' mounting so the cylinders were near horizontal instead of vertical as traditional design dictated. This gave a slightly lower center of gravity and a lower profile.
Roadsters had disappeared from competition by the end of the 1960s, after the introduction, and subsequent domination, of rear-engined machines. In 1965 Gordon Johncock brought the Wienberger Homes Watson to the finish in fifth place which was the last top ten roadster finish and the final time that a roadster would finish the full distance of the race. The last roadster to make the race was built and driven by Jim Hurtubise in the 1968 race and dropped out early. Hurtubise attempted to run the same car in 1969 but, while making his qualifying run at a very good speed, the engine failed on the last of the four laps. The car was entered many times after that but was never seriously considered fast enough to start.
Other classes of racing cars were built with the offset drive train and were referred to as roadsters. Some pavement midgets roadsters were built and raced into the early 1970s but never were dominant.

American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) endorses Tracy Emblem for US Congress (CA50)
by SDDemExaminer, Sat May 15, 2010 at 02:07:39 AM EDT
ESCONDIDO, May 12, 2010 - The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has endorsed Tracy Emblem for U.S. Congress in California's 50th Democratic primary race in North San Diego County.
AFGE represents a diverse workforce of government workers who are the vital threads of the fabric of American life. Government employees inspect the food we eat and the places we work, protect citizens from the illicit flow of drugs, maintain the safety of our nation's borders, care for our nation's veterans and keep the national defense systems prepared for any danger
"With the 50th District geographically between two military bases and San Diego County home to the second largest Veteran population in the nation, I am proud to have the support and endorsement of AFGE whose members work to care for, empower and assist our returning Veterans and protect and keep America strong," said Tracy Emblem on Wednesday.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union representing 600,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas. Workers in virtually all functions of government at every federal agency depend upon AFGE for legal representation, legislative advocacy, technical expertise and informational services.
AFGE believes that all unions should belong to the house of labor and has been nationally affiliated with the The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) since AFGE was founded in 1932. The AFL-CIO is a voluntary federation of 56 national and international labor unions. The AFL-CIO was created in 1955 by the merger of the AFL and the CIO.
This endorsement brings the total labor support of Tracy's campaign to about 20 unions. Tracy is also the candidate endorsed by the Progressive Democrats of America.
Tracy Emblem is running for U.S. Congress in San Diego's 50th District against Francine Busby, a Cardiff School Board trustee with only one endorsement by labor (California Teachers Association), to unseat the incumbent Republican Brian Bilbray who has no endorsements by labor.

Hilleberg Jannu 2

Perfect 2-person winter tent. It is very lightweight…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $785
Perfect 2-person winter tent. It is very lightweight for a "bomb proof" full protection winter tent with no compromises.
- At ~6.8 lbs it is difficult to find a lighter winter tent
- Its 3-cross pole design multiple guylines and quality construction enable it to withstand the most severe conditions
- The inner-tent and fly are attached for quick and dry setup
- Light for winter but heavy for the other three seasons
- Vestibule is not part of the free-standing structure and must be staked-out
- Expensive but worth it
Setup of the Jannu is very easy since the fly and inner-tent are preattached. I have also left the footprint attached so that the entire tent is a single unit. The three poles are inserted into reinforced foot sleeves and then the hooks attached the tent to the poles.
I found that using 4 stakes, 2 in back and 2 at the front end of the vestibule, the tent can be set-up taut in a few minutes. The best part is that only the top of the fly is exposed to the elements during set-up. I know of no other brand that offers this pre-attached design.
Stability is very good with just the 4 stakes mentioned above. With all guy-lines staked out I can't imagine a more stable tent. The guylines are designed to wrap around the poles so that they are supporting the frame and not the fabric of the tent.
I haven't had the chance to test it in the extremes but imagine the design lends itself to provide optimal wind protection. The fly comes completly to the ground on all sides to provide warmth and added protection against weather.
The extremely large roof vent can be left open in severe weather since it has a seperate cover. But without a second door or any window (other than the vent) this tent is not ideal for warmer conditions.
I used it two nights in humid conditions on the beach on Catalina and found condensation to be minimal with the vent open and the door partially opened. The footprint covers the vesibule area reducing condensation from ground moisture.
Space inside the tent is more than adequate for two full sized adults and the large vestibule can handle as much gear as two people can carry. There is plenty of head room for sitting up and pockets for storage of small items.
The tent is easy to pack although the stuff sack is a bit tight when leaving the footprint attached.
A really nice feature is that the inner tent can be detached and packed without taking down the outer fly enablling you to pack it dry even if the fly is wet. This design also lets you set-up the outer fly only and use it as a light weight shelter to wait out a storm. If your inner tent is already attached this might not be so practical.
The biggest drawback is that even at 6.8 lbs (8.4 including the full sized footprint) this tent is too heavy for me in most climates. I find myself bringing a tarp or bivy on most trips or if I want to bring a tent I take my 4.5lb MSR Hubba Hubba instead of the Jannu.
But I can't wait until winter when I will surely be looking for opportunities to put the Jannu to the test. Whitney in March anyone?
Wouldn't dream of a tarp where this is meant to live... love to see pics & a report after some real action!

Where to Buy
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
The Hilleberg Jannu is their strongest, ultra-lightweight dome tent model, and is in some respects the ultralight version of the Tarra, but with only one entrance. At the same time, it is very much its own creature. For while it is an Ultralight tent, it is nonetheless ideal for harsh, high altitude use, and both exposed and/or above tree line terrain and protected conditions in all seasons and all weathers. Its compact footprint shines in limited-space sites, such as knife-edge ridges and small ledges, and it is very stable, even in high winds. Yet it is also easily light enough for use on long distance trips where low weight is a high priority. The Jannus single entrance and vestibule favor lighter weight over absolute comfort, and its dome design gives it exceptional static strength for handling snow loading. As a result, it is a fine choice both for base camp situations, and for mobile adventures, where you pitch your tent every day.

FTA on Dr. Seuss Day by FTA - over 7 years ago
"Future Teachers of America from RHS went to the local primary school to read to the K-2nd graders in celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday. The FTA students wanted to have matching shirts for the trip, so they designed the shirts from CustomInk as suggested by a previous pleased customer who had ordered shirts for their youth group. The students were excited because they got to create the shirts themselves. Much time and effort was spent choosing the right colors, graphics, and slogan which suited our needs to a TEE! The shirts created an atmosphere of solidarity and made us easily identifiable in the halls of the school we visited. Now all the other clubs want to know where we got our cool shirts. Many of them have even designed thier own shirts from CustomInk!"

Unexpected blizzard hits Chadron area
An unexpected blizzard that dropped up to three to five inches of snow in the Chadron area Tuesday evening caused havoc with traffic. Blowing snow and icy conditions led to the Nebraska State Patrol being called out for several motorists who had gone off the road.
The State Patrol said by 7 p.m. a number of reports had been received of vehicles sliding off roads due to blowing snow and snow packed routes, and travel in the area was not recommended.
The situation is much better today.

Life behind bars is a life changing experience and at the Gulf Correctional Institution Forestry Camp, that's not only true for the incarcerated. A special program unites inmates and dogs... and it's not easy to see who benefits the most.
On Wednesday, the 24th class graduated from the Developing Adoptable Dogs With Good Sociability (DAWGS) program at the facility. The program brings rescue dogs from the St. Joseph Bay Humane Society together with inmates who provide obedience training.
By the time the eight week program ends, the dogs are crate trained, housebroken, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Since 2009, when the program was introduced, more than 200 dogs have graduated and been placed in "forever homes." The newest graduates are headed to homes in New Jersey, Connecticut, Georgia and Florida.
"These dogs come from the streets or their owners bring them to us because they can't care for them," said Sandi Christy, director of the DAWGS In Prison program.
Some of the animals arrive at the Humane Society in horrible condition. Mandy, a three year old fox hound that was abused and neglected, watched her canine companions starve to death before she was rescued and her owner prosecuted on animal cruelty charges. A healthy but still wary Mandy graduated with the Wednesday class but will undergo further training before being placed in an adoptive home.
Christy said Mandy is a true success story. "Mandy was afraid of all of us... we couldn't get close to her, she wouldn't look us in the eyes," she said. "But she's now enjoying life here behind bars, building her confidence."
Mario Otero, who is serving a seven year sentence for burglary and grand theft, gets much of the credit for Mandy's turn around. "It takes a lot of time, a lot of dedication," said Otero. "It made me real proud that we accomplished something good."
Donna Haddock, a Florida Department of Corrections officer and the DAWGS program coordinator, said hard men doing hard time have a soft spot. "If you catch them in the quiet times with the dogs in the dorm when nobody's watching and they're just spending time with the dog, you can see the crack in the shell," she said. That compassion creates a bond that unites man and beast in a commitment to better themselves.
Christine Schaefer's family will enjoy the fruits of that labor. She attended the graduation ceremony and formally adopted Mallow to take home to her husband and two sons. "I think he's great... I think he will be a good fit for our family," said Schaefer. "I just thought it would be a really good thing for our first dog to be trained and already have that background."
A couple of four-legged DAWGS graduates have recently taken their training to the next level. One is credited with saving his owner's life by alerting a family member when the man fell into a diabetic coma. Another graduate was part of a team sent to comfort victims of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Officer Haddock said inmates working together for the benefit of their dogs teaches them patience and the ability to form positive relationships outside prison walls. "My hope is that something they get from the program will make them be a better father or brother or son or spouse when they do get home," said Haddock.
"Not everybody gets that kind of opportunity," said Otero. "I want to take advantage of that to become a better person."
"To see them master all these skills and go home and be a prized member of the family… makes us all proud," said Christy.
That's something that applies not only to the dogs, but to the men who train them, too.

on a comment on ABC/WaPo Poll: Plurality in US Favors Gay Marriage over 5 years ago
your homophobia is so TIRESOME!! By the way, let me let you in on a secret i figured out when i was about 6-- just because you say something doesn't make it true!!
Your suggestion that "illegals" will gain voting rights sometime soon and then be an anti-gay block is pretty ridiculous. In the first place, even if immigration reform were imminent, i think most plans require a substantial waiting period before full citizenship rights. Secondly, these people are not living in a bubble. If the rest of the country's viewpoint is shifting, why is it reasonable to assume that it's any different among the undocumented (some of whom have been in this country for many years, might i remind you...)
Furthermore, what is glaringly apparent in poll after poll on this issue is that younger voters are REMARKABLY more likely to favor gay marriage. Coincidentally, immigrants have higher birth rates than native born citizens. This disproves your point on its face, as more of the younger generation who strongly supports gay marriage is made up of immigrants and the children of immigrants than the older generations who don't support gay marriage, as well as dooming your argument about immigration reform and its long-term impact on marriage equality as apparently, more immigrants=more young people=more support for marriage equality.
Lastly, i highly doubt that there is a state in the union with more undocumented workers than New York. A recent poll found that not only is gay marriage supported by a majority of residents, it also enjoys majority support in every region of the state, among Latinos (who make up the largest share of undocumented workers in the country), and Catholics (which are also a large share of immigrants, particularly from central/south america).

HRC is SOOOOOOOOO out of touch! they don't understand how politics has changed. they're operating in like a clinton-era time warp. which sucks, because as the most visible gay rights organization in the country, they're doing a disservice to the community.
comment on a post Did the American School System Program the Millennials against the Republican Orthodoxy? over 5 years ago
I'm a millenial who went to public school, and i don't think that it has all that much to do with it. (and BTW-- for all the "everybody's a winner" comments upthread, kids know EXACTLY what the deal is there... this kind of ridiculous programming is a part of why i think my generation is the one that begat things like the daily show. generation irony???)
quite frankly (and i might get flamed for this), i think my generation is solidly democratic because we are the ones inheriting the detritus of previous generations' excesses and what we value most is the pragmatism that it will take to clean up this mess. At this point in history, the republican party is the party of strict ideology (of a particular backward looking variety) while the democratic party has the vitality to rethink policy and find a solution that works.
the generation that i think we will be most like is that that was coming of age during the depression. we embrace the "group" because we know that it's going to take all of us working together to fix this country. We have to clean up for the uncompromising individualism of the baby boomers and the nihilism of gen X. After two generations whose fundamental political viewpoints were about themselves (leave me alone! get out of my bedroom[-- 60's] get out of my paycheck [--80's]), our generation realizes that the governments has to be for all the people.

i agree about paterson being sadly mistaken, but ironically, i think this is one of the only issues where his advocacy could honestly make a difference for the better by persuading former senate colleagues who may be on the fence to support this bill.
comment on a post On the Waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed over 5 years ago
I was in the early part of my college years when this happened, and it was right around when the Iraq war business was starting. I remember being in a cab and hearing about Daniel Pearl, and that news mixed with everything that Bush was doing just made me think "the world is going crazy..."
comment on a post Mea Culpa on Palin: She Sucks. over 5 years ago
no shit. identity politics can be very blinding...
(sorry if that seems harsh, but it is what it is)
the church DOES oppose both. while i disagree with them, i can sort of appreciate their consistency, and also appreciate the fact that the american church is strongly anti-death penalty even though the american public (in most states) is not.
"Judeo-Christian (protestant)"
WTF does that mean???? are jews somehow now included in protestantism?? and what about catholics and orthodox??
methinks you speak from your ass...
the logical take down was amazing. pat yelled just as much as o'donnell. you're full of shit...
you nailed this-- i've never met a catholic like the ones they're always putting up on the TV and i've been surrounded by them my whole life...
catholic teaching is equally opposed to the death penalty and to abortion. there is no difference.

i basically agree with krugman. he just doesn't seem to be pulling any punches and he's also seeing the long view, which is more than most people who are spewing out ideas.
my hope is that as we have already seen, this latest plan is not the last word on the administration's bank policies. wall st. is still moribund and the banks are still a mess, but i think as of yet, people are still giving obama the benefit of the doubt on this one. they see that the administration is trying and they're making adjustments along the way, but the banks just can't seem to pull themselves together. if this plan also doesn't result in a normalization of the banking system, i think it becomes more and more feasible for the administration to move towards something resembling nationalization as a move of "last resort".

Well folks, the worm has turned. Disney Animation and Pixar chief John Lasseter--he who can do no wrong--has finally turned out a Pixar movie (a sequel) that is earning mixed reviews. No! Say it ain't so! Pixar's magic carpet ride has finally come to earth with a thudding 44% Rotten on the Tomatometer thus far. More reviews will change the tallies; Metacritic's rating of its top-grade reviewers is now a respectable 60--still the lowest ever for a Pixar movie.
No other studio can match Pixar's consistent record for top reviews and box office--over $6.6 billion worldwide over 11 movies. They've never had a flop! On Rotten Tomatoes' list of the best-reviewed films of all time--ranked 100%-- are #1 Toy Story 2 and #4 Toy Story. The rest of Pixar's output: Toy Story 3 earned 99%, 2009's Up and 2003's Finding Nemo, 98%, 2004's The Incredibles, 97%, 2008's Wall-E and 2007's Rataouille, 96%, 2001's Monsters Inc., 95%, 1991's A Bug's Life, 91%. Tellingly, the technically brilliant first Cars was the worst-reviewed Pixar movie ever, with a perfectly respectable 74%.
A sampling of early reviews and the trailer are below.
Clearly, Pixar is aiming to broaden their fanbase by targeting that big male NASCAR audience out there in flyover land. While this experiment did not win over every critic--we'll see how well it plays with families at the summer box office. Disney doesn't care about those reviews. They care about the bottom line. But it's a pity that Lasseter couldn't continue to throw all the balls in the air--just to show it could be done. Pixar set a quality standard.
It's no coincidence that the man in charge of Cars 2--remember, every Pixar movie is a team effort--is now a studio suit. Never has a Pixar sequel fallen prey to the issues that plague so many studio franchises. Until now. (I won't see the movie until this weekend.)
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly:
The resulting sequel is as forced and overloaded as the premise suggests — a rare display of narrative and tonal struggle on the part of Pixarians, famous for their attention to the nuances of story line and character development. But at least Cars 2 looks as expertly sleek and sturdy as audiences have come to expect from the standard-setting animation company, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter:
Featuring cooler cars and more action than Fast Five, Cars 2 is notably less refined and more rambunctious than Pixar's recent run of artistic gems. But commercially, it'll be off to the races this summer, with even bigger international prospects assured on this lap than on the first spin.
Christy Lemire, San Francisco Gate:
"Cars 2" tries to encompass many kinds of stories at once, none of which is terribly clever or compelling. And the fact that Pixar mastermind John Lasseter is back as director is the most baffling part of all. This is the man who kicked it all off with the soulful and groundbreaking "Toy Story" back in 1995. This is not someone from whom you would expect empty glossiness.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel:
"Cars 2″ over-compensates for those "Get off the fast track" mid-life crisis musings, but does so in an often funny and action-packed "James Bond goes Racing" comedy. They turn more of the story over to the comic relief, the dopey tow truck Tow Mater, and get a sillier, more kid-friendly movie out of it. Yes, "Cars 2″ is better than "Cars."
Nick Schager, Village Voice:
Pixar's Cars franchise takes a sharp turn from NASCAR mayhem and rural red-state-targeted '50s nostalgia to 007 espionage with this upgraded sequel, though in its delivery of Matchbox-machine superheroics for its young male demographic, it stays true to its prime function as an advertising vehicle for lucrative merchandise…Director John Lasseter's 3-D-enhanced animation sparkles, but it can't energize centerpieces lacking in suspense, and shoving bumbling sidekick Mater—here cast as a Southern-fried Inspector Clouseau—into the spotlight does little to offset the dullness of these cloak-and-dagger machinations.
Justin Chang, Variety:
If "Cars" was perhaps the least engaging of Pixar's hugely successful animated features, John Lasseter and his team have hit the creative accelerator with the unexpectedly delightful "Cars 2." The rare sequel that improves on its predecessor, this lightning-paced caper-comedy shifts the franchise into high gear with international intrigue, spy-movie spoofery and more automotive puns than you can shake a stickshift at, handling even its broader stretches with sophistication, speed and effortless panache.
Kathryn | July 3, 2011 7:56 AM
As a parent of a 3 and 4 year old who are big fans of the Cars movie, I was deeply disappointed that Disney/Pixar would screen such a violent sequel. Shame on them for fooling unsuspecting parents into taking their innocent children to a movie with unacceptable guns and violence. The G rating is absolutley ridiculous! It is amusing enough for adults, but it really is not a kids movie.
MOGAL | June 24, 2011 10:21 AM
Really, its give the excellent information about movies, and its provide way for get a nice movie. if you want to more info about movies please visit: upcoming movies
Manuel | June 24, 2011 10:15 AM
Yes, it had to happen eventually. But I am glad it happened with the Cars sequel, as Cars was already a Pixar movie I was disappointed with. So I have no problem passing on this one (until the Blu-Ray comes out for rent).
And I say we can still expect great things also from the Disneyfied Pixar who still gave us the incredibly brilliant conclusion to the Toy Story saga with TS3.
Anne Thompson | June 24, 2011 9:40 AM
Tellingly, that's what editors are for. I edit myself--with the help of hawk-eyes like you. Thanks, I took one out.
Javier | June 24, 2011 8:41 AM
"Tellingly" is a once-per-article kinda word. Just sayin'.
Tommy | June 24, 2011 8:08 AM
A dark, cold day in movie history... the first serious failure for Pixar, a film that will make lots of money but will go down as their weakest "vehicle" (LOL I made a pun teehee) and will be likely dismissed by reviewers in the future as if it never happened. Cars 2 is according to reviewers, a disaster that wastes their most expensive animation to date on nonsensical action and tired gags from Mater.
The end of classic Pixar. Such an unfortunate period. Had to happen, though. But let's say it: 1995-2010, Toy Story all the way up to Toy Story 3. 15 years of absolute brilliance that we will cherish for decades, 11 flawless films. As of the 24th of June 2011, what we know as the true Pixar has come to a finish.
Sergio | June 23, 2011 8:47 AM
Cars 2 is a drastic improvement over Cars take it from me. Clever, visually stunning and rather amusing though the central character of Mater is somewhat too overbearing. (His stupidity gets to be too much. Then in the last minutes all of a sudden he becomes a genius and figures out everything.) But still I found myself every much entertained by it. Unlike Cars which was a boring, long slog it sit through.
I must add though that the main premise I have trouble with - that is this bizzaro alternative world where everything is populated by automobiles. It's hard to drum up empathy with an inanimate object.
Anne Thompson | June 23, 2011 7:25 AM
Good points Ryan. I include portions and links to actual reviews for just that reason. And I added metacritic, thanks.
Ryan | June 23, 2011 6:23 AM
A piece like this draws light on how useless Rotten Tomatoes has become. Yes, the film is at 39% on rotten tomatoes, but it has an average score of 60 on Metacritic, and 61 makes for a positive review.
Reviews are always going to be a factor in deciding whether or not someone sees a film, but I think it's ridiculous to say rotten or fresh because there are various factors that contribute to what someone wants to see. If I see a 50 on Metacritic, but the review explains why they sort of liked it, I might realize it's a film I want to see.
I don't want to lump in the Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down style founded by Siskel & Ebert in my criticism of quick reviews. That was a half hour show where each critic explained his reasoning: it was a thoughtful discussion, not a splattering of green. Plus, every critic is not Siskel & Ebert. I think a critic has to earn the right to a flippant one-gesture summation of a film.
ag | June 23, 2011 5:37 AM
have to say -- not that surprised. thought cars 2 was a strange (even bizarre) idea back when it was announced, then, when i first saw footage, knew it would be...how to say...less than great, which ain't saying much for a pixar product.

The madness of March is gone and the anticipation of April starts as the Wichita State Shockers, Louisville Cardinals, Michigan Wolverines, and Syracuse Orange all sit just a stones throw away from the NCAA Tournament title game.
Each of the two Final Four games on Saturday offers plenty of intrigue and excitement. The No. 9 Shockers continue their Cinderella run as they go up against the overall No. 1 Cardinals, who are coming off of an emotional victory over the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils in the Elite Eight. On the other side of the bracket, the high-octane offense of the No. 4 Wolverines will have to break through the confounding zone defense No. 4 Syracuse employs to great success.
For more on the story, visit MID MAJOR MADNESS and CARD CHRONICLE
In the first game of the afternoon, the world will see if Wichita State's storybook March run continues at all in April. The Shockers are just the fifth No. 9 seed or higher to reach the Final Four since seeding began in 1979, and are the first team from the Missouri Valley Conference to make the Final Four since a Larry Bird led Indiana State team in 1979.
On paper, the Cardinals seem to hold a statistical edge over the Shockers in close to every category but rebounding. But Wichita State hasn't backed down as they dismantled Pittsburgh, upset the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs, shattered La Salle's Cinderella dreams and then grinded out a tough win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Shockers aren't a stranger to the Final Four, they just don't decide to visit too often. Wichita State last made an appearance in 1965, where they lost to the eventual NCAA champion UCLA Bruins.
Louisville is coming off a big 22-point win over the Blue Devils in the Elite Eight, a victory that was marred by the horrific leg injury suffered by backup guard Kevin Ware during the game. Ware underwent two hours of surgery to repair his broken leg, but the Cardinals gutted out an inspirational win in the name of their fallen teammate after tears were shed an entire arena stood visibly shaken during the near nine-minute injury mid-game break. The win was just another dominating performance for the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. It is the second consecutive Final Four appearance for Louisville.

Michigan and Syracuse will provide an interesting matchup in the second game of the evening. The Wolverines boast the most efficient offense in the nation, according to Kenpom ratings, while the Orange have the fifth-stiffest defense. Guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. lead Michigan, and although Hardaway's jump shot has suffered during the tournament, Burke has been the team MVP so far. His long 3-pointer in the waning seconds of regulation against the Kansas Jayhawks forced overtime in a 87-85 win in the Sweet 16.
Syracuse's famed zone defense has been on display the whole tournament, where they have held opponents to just 45.8 points a game. Against Marquette in the Elite Eight, they held the Golden Eagles to just 39 points, a record low in the Elite Eight since the shot clock was introduced in 1986. It is the fifth appearance for the Orange in the Final Four, and the fourth since Jim Boeheim took over. The last time Syracuse made the Final Four was in 2003, when Carmelo Anthony would eventually lead them to a national title.
