Restorative justice bill introduced in Massachusetts
Pierre R. Berastaín, a student at Harvard Divinity School and co-founder of the Massachusetts Restorative Justice Collaborative, writes today on his Huffington Post blog: While restorative justice programs continue to sprout throughout the state, no law has helped promote or endorse any of them. This legislative session, however, State Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) has introduced Senate Bill 52, an act promoting restorative justice practices. If it goes into law, the act would not only give legislative recognition and legitimacy to restorative practices, but it would also establish a committee to assess programs in the state as well as make recommendations for future programming. This committee would bring together a range of...Read More
Retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice discusses RJ in Belgium, advocates more research in U.S.
Janine P. Geske, retired Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Distinguished Professor of Law at Marquette University Law School, recently spent time as a Visiting Professor in Restorative Justice at Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. She has written two blog posts for Wisconsin Restorative Justice Coalition inspired by her time abroad. In the first piece, she discusses the framework for national implementation of restorative justice (mostly mediation) processes in Belgium. In the second second, she suggests ways American researchers and advocates could learn from their European colleagues. (Thanks to IIRP's Wisconsin affiliate, Patrice Vossekuil, for forwarding the link.) I have the privilege of serving as a visiting...Read More
Video: Restorative justice as form of "teen court" in Eugene, Oregon, schools
In this video Chip Coker, director of the Center for Dialogue and Resolution in Eugene, Oregon, discusses using restorative conferences in schools instead of either punitive discipline procedures or what is called a "teen court" structure. The conference structure Coker describes sounds very much like a Real Justice conference in terms of the questions raised, the involvement of victims and the focus on how to repair the harm. Additionally, this application, where youth in the school are integrally involved in giving feedback and also providing support for a student in a discipline situation, reminds me of what happens in a CSF Buxmont school (the demonstration projects of the IIRP) every day. In these schools, at-risk youth...Read More
"Stop and frisk" policies increase youth crime, study shows
Stop and frisk policing, according to a new study, "stirs up, rather than deters, youth crime," according to an article in Time magazine. The following, by Nicole Flatow, published by the Center for American Progress, succinctly summarizes that article and the finding of the report: Students who are stopped by police are more likely to later engage in delinquent activity, according to a new study in the journal Crime & Delinquency. Researchers at the University of Missouri at St. Louis followed about 2,600 students participating in gang-prevention programs in seven different cities over the course of seven years. They subjected some students to random police stops, even when they hadn't done anything wrong, some to stops...Read More
Teacher from Costa Rica passionate about restorative practices
When the teachers at Country Day School, an American private school in Costa Rica, were trained in restorative practices several years ago, Veronika Marenco, a third grade teacher at the time, knew she had found something really useful. She started the school year with circles for her students to get to know one another, and followed it up every day with daily circles to check in and check out, play games, review math concepts and also address problems between students. A few weeks in, when parents were invited to "Back to School Night," Veronika even arranged the classroom in a circle of chairs and let parents (and a few children who came along) experience a circle to introduce themselves to one another. The parents liked the...Read More
Video: Teachers Unite advocates restorative justice
Here's a five-minute "teaser" for a forthcoming documentary from Teachers Unite titled Growing Fairness. The first part of the trailer offers a critique of the so-called school-to-prison pipeline and zero tolerance policies. One quote that stuck out for me was researcher and organizer Natalie Havlin saying: "What's really exciting about this moment is that nationally – in Louisiana, in Colorado, in New York City, in Los Angeles, in San Francisco, in Chicago, in Detroit – local school communities and young people, parents, educators and administrators are coming together to say that zero tolerance doesn't work and experimenting with these alternative practices to address interpersonal harm and building justice for...Read More
Book Review: Restorative justice today: Practical applications
Eric Assur at Restorative Justice Online has just posted a book review on Restorative Justice Today: Practical Applications, edited by Katherine S. van Wormer and Lorenn Walker. As I mentioned last fall, this book includes a chapter co-written by IIRP President Ted Wachtel and another written by IIRP Assistant Director for Communications Laura Mirsky. Over the past thirty years the number of books or publications on Restorative Justice (R.J.) has increased annually. In 2013 justice practitioners, students and conflict resolution (or conflict prevention) readers may proclaim this publication as their book of the year. The authors, both with interesting backgrounds and academic credentials have provided a 'practical' look at the current...Read More
Creative practice: Restorative justice through art
The following is the beginning of a piece by Rachel Barnard posted July 17 in Urban Omnibus titled "Young New Yorkers: Restorative Justice Through Public Art." The wide-angle lens captures the flickering of a fan overhead and the outstretched leg of a small child sitting just out of frame. It is summer in New York and Isaiah's grandmother is sitting on a quilted day bed that has been pushed up against a wooden partition and partially obstructs the entrance to her kitchen. Her left leg is neatly curled under her right; her left arm props herself up on the bed's surface. Her head, framed by long braids, leans intently forward. She speaks directly into the camera her grandson is holding: I was sad because it's not like you...Read More

"Dreaming of a New Reality": Chapter 1
This article is an excerpt from IIRP president and founder Ted Wachtel's new book, Dreaming of a New Reality: How restorative practices reduce crime and violence, improve relationships and strengthen civil society, published by the International Institute for Restorative Practices, in association with the Piper's Press. Through stories and statistics, the book demonstrates the promise of restorative practices to heal victims, prevent bullying, curb conflict, reduce school disciplinary problems and boost workplace satisfaction and productivity. It also outlines the history and development of this growing social movement, as well as a vision for its future.Read More

Be Credit Card Smart
Credit cards are both a convenient way to pay for purchases and a trap for those who are easily tempted by access to credit.
Being smart with your use of credit cards can help you manage your money better and avoid getting into too much debt.
These simple tips are all you need to be credit card smart:
Set your credit limit at a level you can afford to repay within the interest free period.
Know the due date of your payment and pay on time.
Always pay more than the minimum due on your credit card to help reduce your balance and your interest charges.
Avoid interest charges altogether by paying your credit card balance in full each month, preferably by direct debit from your bank account.
Use online services to keep track of your card spending so you can keep within your limit.
Avoid taking cash advances or paying utility bills with your card as they usually incur additional fees.
Regularly review your monthly statements to ensure that there are no errors or unauthorised charges on your account.
Use your card only for essential purchases and not for luxuries.
Consider having two cards one with a low limit for everyday purchases which you pay off in full each month and another for emergency or large purchases.
It pays to shop around for the right type of card for you with a fee structure that suits your needs. For example, some low interest rate cards have higher monthly fees and are more suitable for those with high credit balances.
If you need a card only to make online or telephone purchases, consider using a debit card. Your bank account will be debited straight away and you will therefore pay no interest.

CORPORATE Jamaica views the support of cancer initiatives as unsexy, which results in reduced project funding, according to the charity group, Jamaica Cancer Society.
"Cancer is not glamorous or fun," declared Yulit Gordon executive director at the Jamaica Cancer Society at the Social Enterprise Boost Initiative (SEBI) discussion held at the Knutsford Court Hotel in Kingston on Wednesday. "So when we go into corporate organisations and ask for support of your programmes (by nature of what we do at the Jamaica Cancer Society and the product that we sell which is the fight against cancer) you find that there are companies out there (but not all) that would not want to align their brand with a cancer-fighting initiative because when they look at it they do not see the returns.
"It's not something that their customers will embrace."
Gordon added that ethical considerations also eliminate some large companies from being approached.
"You may think that it's only the tobacco companies but there is also alcohol, there are certain foods that when you look at the labelling it's a good cause for cancer diagnosis. So there are a lot of things working against us because of what we are about," she said of the organsiation established in 1955.
Dr K'adawame K'nife, a director of the office of social entrepreneurship at the University of the West Indies, Mona, urged the social enterprises to monetise their services by placing a value on their volunteerism.
"When I ask, 'where is your business plan', you hear, 'we do not operate a business'. But you are in the business of life, which is the most important business," said K'nife, who argued that replacing their services would come at a cost.
"People tend to undervalue your own worth. What if you were not doing the things you were doing, what would have been the situation." If you truly apply the counter-factual then you recognise just how much value you have created from the activities you are doing despite the fact that you do not have the resources you need to do it."
K'nife pointed out that monetising services would allow social enterprises to reduce the need for "begging" international donor support.
The discussion entitled 'Lets Talk-Social Economy Matters' was the first in a series of discussions to be hosted by SEBI, which is part of the JN Foundation. SEBI is designed to create an enabling business environment for non-governmental organisations.
"Many of these organisations do not position themselves as businesses," said Saffrey Brown, general manager at JN Foundation. "They undervalue themselves and are, in turn, hampered by their lack of positioning as viable entrepreneurs. While their focus is welfare-driven, without applying business approaches to their operations, they will not witness the potential social and economic gains that will help them to expand the community-based services they provide."
Participants acknowledged that the international funding model has shifted significantly since the last decade.
"We used to call USAID and others like us donors. We now call them international development partners. It means that we are not coming to give handouts...We are looking to build a partnership, we are looking for an investment and a return on that investment," said Jeannette Vail supervisory programme officer at USAID.
"We have shrinking revenues from government budgets and also we need to recognise the political implications that after September 11 a good amount of development aid got channelled to different geographies. But there are still opportunities (in Jamaica)."

Hello my Friend.
I hope this note finds you and your loved ones well. The weather in the northeast is turning cooler. The leaves will soon turn into the most beautiful shades of red and yellow. I believe fall to be my favorite season of all.
How I miss my family in Norway , and the coast. Sometimes it feels like my throat closes. And my heart threatens to break. Thank God, I have my daughter, which helps me with the rare but searingly painful moments.
Wow, She just started her Junior year in Highschool and works her first Job. How did this happen?

Meet The General. He lives on Interstate 90 about 40 miles east of Seattle, Washington. Over the years, I have hauled my eight-foot rendition of this old tree to many arts and craft shows, and have had many people recognize it as what some have called The General.
I'm sorry to report that The General lost his top during the winter of '99, but his most complete form lives on in the many images I have made of him. He comes in various sizes, with or without some of his tree friends. I have added mountains in the background and even birds in his limbs. The photo to the right is of my eight-foot-tall metal image. The photo below is from the Bolane's of Estes Park, Colorado. They also had a great use for the 30 Cowboys by wrapping them around their spiral staircase.

Color Choices
We encourage all of our customers to choose our standard color of black, and here's why. Powder coating is a process of baking a powder into the steel. It is a very durable finish for indoors or out, and while there are several other color options, touching up future scratches can be problematic for all colors except black.
However, if you want to explore other color options, we'd be more than happy to talk with you about your options. We can also make panels with no powder coating at all.
Will Steel Rust?
Since 1980, when I built my first weathervane, I have been concerned about the finish we apply to our products. At first it was just "rattle can" paint. Then we "wet painted" everything for years with a high quality black paint. In the mid 1990s new regulations made the paint companies take the most protective elements out of their paint. Remember seeing the trucks and cars from that time with the paint flaking off?
Then came the wonder fix—powder coating. The original paint lasted for a few years before it started fading and maybe getting some rust spots on it. Powder coating is, in our experience, pretty much the same. After a few years, it has to be refinished.
Anything—be it steel, copper, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and even some plastics—will fade, deteriorate or rust after a period of time. Every few years, you probably need to repaint your house.
I recently spoke with a woman who had a deck railing that was 10 years old and rotten. She wanted to replace it with our steel railings, but was concerned about rusting. So my answer to her was, "Yes, steel will rust if it is exposed to nature." Almost everything will change if it is exposed to nature. The nice thing about our steel balcony panels is that the woman who called won't have to replace our railings, only refinish them, eventually.
We guarantee the finish on our products for one year, and they should look fine for many years after that. But eventually, they will need to be refinished.

Spotify Live at SXSW
For Spotify Live, Obscura created new encounters with music by developing a multi-sensory immersive experience. Performances were enhanced with real-time audio-reactive visuals and original content. Each performer, from hip-hop to dub house to indie pop, was able to blend their music with a signature visual narrative to heighten the experience of their art.
Obscura's creative elements dynamically transformed in sync with key musical moments. High-resolution visual media was projected onto a seamless surface area extending 136 feet wide by 15 feet high. The warehouse space itself became a teleporter, taking people on a journey from the streets of Austin, TX into the future of musical expression.

agrimony, any plant of the genus Agrimonia, of the rose family (Rosaceae). The name particularly denotes A. eupatoria, an herbaceous, hardy perennial that is native to Europe but is widespread in other northern temperate regions, where it grows in hedge banks and the borders of fields. A. eupatoria grows to about 120 cm (4 feet) tall and has alternate feather-formed leaves that yield a yellow dye. The oval leaflets, about 2–6 cm (0.8–2.4 inches) long, have toothed margins. The small, stalkless yellow flowers are borne in a long terminal spike. The fruit is a bur about 0.6 cm in diameter and bears a number of hooks that enable it to cling easily to clothing or the coat of an animal. A. gryposepala, a similar species, is widespread in the United States.

Update: Filovirus Infection Associated with Contact with Nonhuman Primates or Their Tissues
Since November 1989, outbreaks of filovirus infection have been described among cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) imported from the Philippines into quarantine facilities in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Texas (1-3). Serologic evidence of filovirus infection, including three seroconversions, among workers in these facilities (4) confirms that virus can be transmitted to humans during care and management of quarantined animals.
To further assess the health risk to humans posed by the presence of filoviruses in animals in facilities for nonhuman primates in the United States, 550 persons with varying levels of exposure to monkeys (or monkey body fluids or tissues) were tested by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and a confirmatory Western blot assay. Of these persons, 42 (7.6%), including seven reported previously (4,5), were positive (IFA titer greater than or equal to 16, Western blot confirmed) to one or more of the four filovirus test antigens used (Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Filovirus-Reston, Marburg) as of June 18, 1990. Seropositivity was not evenly distributed: 26 (9.8%) of 266 import quarantine facility staff members were seropositive, and 16 (5.6%) of 284 other persons having contact with monkeys (or with monkey body fluids or tissues) outside of import quarantine facilities were seropositive. None of the 42 seropositive persons reported having had an illness considered to be caused by a filovirus.
To provide a perspective for interpreting antibody seropositivity rates for persons having contact with monkeys (or monkey body fluids or tissues), serum specimens from 449 persons from throughout the United States randomly selected from a cross-sectional adult primary-care outpatient population were tested by the same IFA and Western blot assays. Of these, 12 (2.7%) were positive. Reported by: Special Pathogens Br and Epidemiology Activity, Div of Viral and Rickettsial Diseases, Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The filoviruses isolated in 1989 and 1990 from cynomolgus monkeys in Virginia and Pennsylvania are morphologically identical but antigenically and genetically distinct from Marburg virus isolated in Europe in 1967 (6) and Ebola virus isolated during human epidemics in Africa in the 1970s (7-10). Severe hemorrhagic fever and high death rates marked the European outbreak and the African epidemics, but human illness has not been documented in association with the recent occupationally acquired infections in the United States. Serologic data confirm that routine contact with and handling of nonhuman primates (or their body fluids or tissues) in quarantine facilities increase the risk for infection of workers. Recent actions have been taken to increase the level of worker protection during importation and import quarantine (2,11).
The background seropositivity rate for persons from throughout the United States chosen randomly from an adult primary-care outpatient population remains unexplained. One possibility is antigenic crossreactivity between the known filoviruses and another, as yet undetermined, antigen. Further investigations are in progress to clarify this. Investigations are also in progress to define risk factors for occupationally acquired infection and to assess the risk for infection of household contacts of infected persons.

I saw someone else do this on LJ and thought it was a great idea, so I made a camera phone holder that uses a few peices of scrap, a carriage bolt, a tnut to attach to the camera stand. I want to pick up some felt to add to the inside of the camera holder so it doesn't scratch up the screen.
Works great.

About Me
- Satima Flavell
- I am a writer, editor and reviewer based in Perth, Western Australia.
My books
My first novel, The Dagger of Dresnia (Book 1 of The Talismans) is published by Satalyte - it's available from their website as well as from Amazon.com and other online outlets. Book 2, The Cloak of Challiver, is in preparation. I also have a short story, La Belle Dame, in print - see Mythic Resonance below.
Buy The Dagger of Dresnia
The Dagger of Dresnia, Book 1 of The Talismans Trilogy, is available in paperback and e-book from the publisher, Satalyte Publications - click on the cover to visit their online shop. You can also purchase it from Amazon.com and other online retailers. The paperback can also be found in selected bookstores in Australia.
Buy Mythic Resonance
Mythic Resonance is an excellent anthology that includes my short story 'La Belle Dame', together with great stories from Alan Baxter, Donna Maree Hanson, Sue Burstynski, Nike Sulway and nine more fantastic authors! Just $US3.99 from Amazon. Got a Kindle? Check out Mythic Resonance.
Prefer hard copy?
There are still a few paperback copies of Mythic Resonance available, too. Contact me (there's a contact form on my website) if you'd like a copy - $20 including postage within Australia.
Your books and theses!
As both writer and editor, I specialise in historical and high or epic fantasy. If you have a fantasy manuscript in preparation, don't waste money on editing too early. Instead, let me help with a mini-assessment of your work, based on careful reading of your synopsis and first 20 pages. Then, when you've worked on the manuscript in line with our discussions, I will be happy to do a full edit before you send it off into the big wide world. I am also an experienced academic editor, and am available to edit theses, journal submissions and other academic papers. For more about my editing work, CLICK HERE

Amazonian bullying
Sunday, March 30, 2008 | Posted by Satima Flavell
In publishing, its seems, everything is loaded against the small operator. Last year we had that nasty business of the big Australian bookseller, Angus and Robertson, trying to bully small publishers into unfavourable contracts. Now it looks as though Amazon.com has come up with another way to tighten the thumbscrews.
Amazon is apparently trying to force independent Print-On-Demand-based publishers to use its BookSurge POD service. They are being told they that if they don't switch to BookSurge, the "buy" button on their Amazon.com book pages will be "turned off." If they refuse, they will be offered an alternative: they will be allowed to offer their books on Amazon under a plan whereby Amazon takes a 55% cut plus an annual registration fee and the sellers pay to send their books to Amazon's warehouses. If this kind of thing isn't tantamount to trying to establish a monopoly I don't know what is.
If this scheme goes ahead I will be boycotting Amazon and I'm sure many other people will, too. I have several friends who are published by small presses here or overseas, and those small presses in North America will go out of business if they refuse to co-operate with Amazon, their main outlet.

Amazon is apparently trying to force independent Print-On-Demand-based publishers to use its BookSurge POD service. They are being told they that if they don't switch to BookSurge, the "buy" button on their Amazon.com book pages will be "turned off." If they refuse, they will be offered an alternative: they will be allowed to offer their books on Amazon under a plan whereby Amazon takes a 55% cut plus an annual registration fee and the sellers pay to send their books to Amazon's warehouses.

Gordon Bennett! Honestly, I can't remember the last time I used Amazon to purchase a book-- I always prefer to go through the presses themselves and put the money right into the horse's mouth (so to speak)-- but a stunt like this 100% guarantees that i shan't be using them in future, for anything.
