MLA documentation is simple and straightforward. This brief Guide to MLA Documentation provides you with the basic information you need to correctly acknowledge all of the sources you use in your English essays. A correctly documented paper identifies and acknowledges the ideas and information in your paper that have come from primary and secondary sources.
MLA is an abbreviation of Modern Languages Association, and the Association has developed a style of documenting sources that is used for Language courses and many Humanities courses. The documentation style uses parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page. Footnotes or endnotes are not used to acknowledge sources in MLA documentation style.
This Guide to MLA Documentation contains examples of the most commonly used sources and how to cite them. It also contains a sample paragraph with quotations and a sample Works Cited page. By following these examples, you will cite your essays correctly.This Guide to MLA Documentation also contains important information about evaluating sources, in particular online sources such as websites.
Formatting your essay
Please adhere to the following format:
- Use standard size paper (8½ x 11 inches)
- Word-process or type the essay using a standard 12 point font
- Double-space every line of the essay, including all quotations and the Works Cited page
- Indent each paragraph; do not leave an extra space between paragraphs
- Leave adequate margins for tutor comment (at least one inch)
Titles and title pages
All of your essays must have a title that reflects the content and main idea of the essay. The essay topic is not the title; the title of the poem, novel, play or other piece of literature you are writing about is also not the title of your essay.
MLA documentation style does not require a title page; however, you do need to include the following information on the first page of your assignment:
Place this information on the top left of the page. This should be double-spaced. Double-space again and centre the title of the essay on the page.
Your name
The tutor's or professor's name
The course name and number
The date you submit the essay
Citing sources in your essay
Every time that you use a quotation from a source, or summarize or paraphrase an idea or a passage from a research or a primary source, you must acknowledge that source. This acknowledgement is called a citation. You will include an abbreviated citation in parentheses ( ) in the body of your essay, which is called a parenthetical citation or an in-text citation, and you will include a full citation in your Works Cited.
Each parenthetical citation must provide as much information as necessary for the reader to determine the author, the source and the location of the original quotation. The parenthetical citation will correlate with a citation in the Works Cited page that includes the full publication information.
Whenever you quote, you must introduce your quotations, and you must ensure that the quote does not result in grammar errors in your sentence. If you need to make any changes to the quote, the change must be identified using square bracket [ ]. If you omit words from the quote, you must indicate the omission with three periods, also known as an ellipsis. Leave a space on either side of the ellipsis but do not space between the periods.
Parenthetical citations – Primary sources
When you are writing essays about literature, you are required to quote from the literature to support and develop your arguments. Whether you are quoting fiction, poetry or plays, the author and the title must be clear from your citation or your introduction of the quote.
Quoting prose
Long and short prose quotes are acknowledged and cited as shown in the following examples:
Frankenstein's creature comes to life "on a dreary night of November" (Shelley 57).When Mary Shelley's Frankenstein succeeds in bringing his creature to life, he realizes that his ambitions were reckless:
Quoting poetry
Poetry is cited using the line numbers. Short poetry quotes will indicate line breaks using a slash with a space on each side ( / ) and long poetry quotes will be indented and follow the exact format of the original poem, for example:
In Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" the imagery and alliteration of the simile "as holy and enchanted / As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By woman wailing for her demon lover!" (14-16) evokes the sound of her plaintive cry, and the underlying threat of the setting.
ORT.S. Eliot animates the London fog in the third stanza of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock":
The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,
Curled once about the house, and fell asleep. (15-22)
Quoting drama
Drama is cited using the act, scene and line numbers if the play is written in verse, and the page numbers if the play is a prose play. Act, scene and line numbers are presented in Arabic numbers, for example, Act 1, Scene 2, lines 1 through 10 should be written as 1.2.1-10.
Plays written in verse are cited as you would cite poetry (see Quoting poetry above), for example:
Iago's deception of Othello is dependent upon the Moor's honest and trusting nature: "The Moor is of a free and open nature / That thinks men honest that but seem to be so; / And will as tenderly be led by th' nose / As asses are" (1.3.390-93).Othello's trusting nature allows him to mistakenly trust Iago:
And knows all qualities, with a learned spirit
Of human dealings. If I do prove her haggard,
Though that her jesses were my dear heartstrings,
I'd whistle her off and let her down wind
To prey at fortune. (3.3. 257-62)
Plays written in prose are cited using the page number, in the same way you would cite any prose literature (see Quoting prose above).
Dialogue between characters should be quoted as follows:Much is revealed about the relationship between Torvald and Nora Helmer in the opening lines of A Doll House:
NORA. (Busy opening some packages.) Yes, it is.
HELMER. Is that my squirrel rummaging around?
NORA. Just now. (Putting the macaroon bag in her pocket and wiping
her mouth.) Do come in, Torvald, and see what I've bought.
HELMER. Can't be disturbed…. (601)
Parenthetical citations – Secondary sources
Short quotations
Any quotation that is 4 lines or less is considered a short quotation and should be incorporated into your sentence. The final punctuation comes after the citation, for example:
Moers argues that "Frankenstein's exploration of the forbidden boundaries of human science does not cause the prolongation and extension of his own life, but the creation of a new one" (95).
Critics agree that Mary Shelley has "absorbed into Frankenstein the ideas about education, society, and morality held by her father and her mother" ( Moers 94).
Long quotations
Quotations that are longer than 4 lines are indented 10 spaces and do not require quotation marks. The final punctuation comes before the citation, for example:Moers summarizes the many varied responses to and interpretations of Frankenstein:
Paraphrasing and summarizing
There are instances when you may not be directly quoting from a source, but are still required to acknowledge the source of the information. The following is a paraphrase of the second short quote from Moers, cited above:
Shelley's novel, Frankenstein, incorporates ideas about education advocated by her parents, Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin ( Moers 94).
The Works Cited
Each type of source follows a slightly different format for citation. The following entries describe the general format for common sources, followed by an example.

Sample Paragraph
The principal limitation in Conrad's critique of imperialism is his unquestioning (or unwitting) acceptance of European ideologies about Africa, for example, his acceptance and perpetuation of the myth of Africa as the Dark Continent to which Europeans must bring 'light.' Marlow commends the British Empire when he notes the "vast amount of red – good to see at any time, because one knows that real work is done in there" (Conrad 14) on the map in the Company office. Conrad also adheres to the disturbing view that Africa causes "madness" and you will recall Marlow's own brushes with madness and savagery throughout the narrative. Objections to Conrad's novella recognize
- The fact that in Heart of Darkness Conrad sets out to question the nature of man in a specific historical context characterized by imperialism.
- That what starts off as a subversion of the ideals of imperialistic discourse is in turn subverted by an artistic process which becomes too dependent on stereotypes of the time, especially when Marlow starts sailing up the Congo River.
- That these stereotypes are part of a long-standing tradition which has been harmful to blacks for centuries. (Zhuwarara 221)
Like much else in this novella, Conrad's representations of Africans are ambiguous. First presented as vital and wild, they are also presented – in what is meant to be a sympathetic description by Marlow - as depraved and dying. Despite these seemingly different descriptions, they share the basis of disparaging stereotype: the African as savage. As Marlow travels deeper into the heart of Africa, Africans are merely dehumanized glimpses of "eyes," "arms," "limbs," but always threatening. Much debate has resulted from these portrayals. Chinua Achebe has called Conrad "a thoroughgoing racist" (744), who uses Africa as a backdrop for his allegory of man's descent into evil. In a more tempered response, Rino Zhuwarara asserts "while critical of imperialism, [Heart of Darkness] reinforces unpalatable stereotypes about Africa. The moral revulsion of both Marlow and his author, Conrad, at the sordid nature of imperialism is not strong enough to transcend racial boundaries" (Zhuwarara 239).
(Note: the entire paragraph including the indented long quotation should be double-spaced.)
Sample Works Cited
The Works Cited should be a separate page, and it should include all of the sources quoted, paraphrased or summarized in your essay. If you have consulted sources that you have not cited in your essay, you should rename your page Works Consulted, and include every source you have cited and consulted.
The Works Cited page is double spaced, and entries are indented 5 spaces on the second and subsequent lines.
All entries are alphabetical by author's or editor's name. Do not distinguish between primary and secondary sources, or by types of sources. The format of the citation indicates the type of source.

Choosing and Evaluating Sources
When you are selecting sources to use in your research papers, you want to ensure that these sources are credible and reliable. The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers recommends evaluating sources based on their "authority, accuracy and currency" (Gibaldi 41).
The authority of a source can be determined if it has a visible author's name, if it has a reputable publisher, or if it has been peer reviewed. The accuracy of a source can be determined by how well the facts and information contained in the source are cited. Reliable sources will provide all the bibliographic information required for you to verify the credibility of its sources. The date of publication will indicate the currency of a source, and you will be able to determine if the information is up to date for your research topic.
It is particularly important to evaluate your sources carefully when you are doing research on the internet. If websites do not have a visible author's name or a clear institutional or business affiliation, you may want to consider the authority and accuracy of that website.
If you have difficulty determining the suitability of a source, your tutor will be able to assist you.
You can find very useful additional information about research and how to use the Athabasca University library at the Athabasca University Library, Help Centre.
All of the following information on plagiarism is quoted directly from the Athabasca University Calendar:
Academic Honesty: Recognising Plagiarism
In order to avoid representing the ideas, facts or phrasing of others as your own, you must learn to recognize plagiarism. It is common for novice researchers to commit plagiarism without even knowing it. The result can be very serious if you plagiarise, whether intentionally or not. You will jeopardize your learning, risk failing and even expulsion. Moreover, you will undermine the mutual trust upon which educational institutions rest.
Here are three examples of plagiarism:
- If you fail to indicate that material is quoted by enclosing the material in quotation marks.
- If you do not acknowledge the source of a direct quotation within the text of the paper, in footnotes, on the Works Cited or Reference page, or if you do not identify the correct source of a quotation.
- If you included paraphrased or summarized information (that is not generally accepted as "common knowledge") and do not acknowledge its source.
Academic Honesty: What is Original Work?Students and researchers are often understandably confused about academic honesty because they realise that if they give credit for every single idea that is not original, then their papers would simply be a list of citations. For example, in a paper if I refer to Intellectual Honesty, I am using a generally accepted expression, (common knowledge) and I would probably use wording that many others have used when writing about the subject. I do not have to cite the very first person who ever used this expression. How do I distinguish between occasions when I must attribute ideas to others and occasions when I do not?
One situation is easy because there are no exceptions – when the exact words of another are used, you must identify the author and indicate the words that you are quoting. (http://www.athabascau.ca/studserv/inthonesty.htm)
The following are specific examples of plagiarism, for which the penalties can be very severe:
- Submitting or presenting work as if it were your own when it isn't.
- Obtaining then submitting a term paper from a repository.
- Submitting material for credit that has already been given credit in another course (or the same course at a previous time), without the approval of the professor.
- Submitting information or material in a course that you know to be false.
- Submitting co-authored work without the knowledge and agreement of all authors, as well as the approval of the professor. (http://www.athabascau.ca/studserv/inthonesty.htm)

Mo Farrah, and the Olympic 10km silver medalist America's Galen Rupp, have been undertaking a focussed training regime by their coach and mentor Alberto Salazar. Alberto best known for his performances in the New York City Marathons in the early 1980s and his American track records of 13:11.93 for 5,000 m (July 6, 1982 – Stockholm) and 27:25.61 for 10,000 m – (June 26, 1982 – Oslo), has become a legend in the middle- and long-distance disciplines. Training elite athletes at the Nike Oregon Project, Alberto is known for complete focus, detail and novel-training techniques. One of those was to improve the breathing efficiency, through the intercostal muscles, of his athletes using RespiBelt.
RespiBelt is a specially constructed compression belt which allows you to train your breathing and chest muscles during exercise by providing an adjustable load. We are all very familar with training our biceps, legs, abs, by doing exercises such as bicep curls, squats and crunches, but what we don't have, until now, is a way of training the inspiratory breathing muscles during exercise. Training our inspiratory muscles can improve our breathing efficiency, running economy, help with asthma, and make us use less energy. But please don't look at the product and think you can use any old elastic belt. The team at Progressive Sports Technologies have spent years developing the right tension in the elastic. If the tension is too high it can overload the muscles, too low and you don't get any benefit. If you get it just right, like in the RespiBelt, then you can achieve much better performance like the British Triathletes (wording from RespiBelt website):
"The first trial of early prototypes was performed with the support of British Triathlon and four of their TASS athletes over an 11 week period. The results of the training intervention proved very interesting. The participants significantly enhanced running economy measures, along with reduced sub-maximal oxygen utilisation and minute ventilation which was considered by British Triathlon scientists as being atypical of results expected due to habitual training adaptations. This prompted further investigation into the RespiBelt using a larger sample size with the addition of a control group. The second trial was performed with 12 competitive athletes over only a 4 week period. Additional measures were taken in addition to the measures previously investigated. All the measures showed positive changes compared to the control group who undertook the same training regime. Breathing endurance improved as did, sub-maximal oxygen consumption, % VO2max, sub-maximal minute ventilation and heart rate. Further improvements in running economy, respiratory frequency and minute ventilation were also present."
RespiBelt comes in 6 sizes that are derived by measuring your chest: X-Small – chest sizes 75 to 80cm; Small – chest sizes 81 to 88cm; Medium – chest sizes 89 to 96cm; L arge – chest sizes 97 to 106cm; and X-Large – chest sizes 107 to 118cm.
If you would like to purchase the best accessory for training breathing muscles then please click on this link to buy the RespiBelt.

A huge 10m inflatable wall and a double decker bus plastered with extreme sports photography were a few of the advertising mediums manufacturers used to showcase their flagship products for the 2012-2013 season. Once inside, it was clear this was the place to be if you had a passion for sport and sports equipment. An eclectic mix of people, some in suits, some in board shorts on skateboards, but somehow it just seemed to work. Looking around you could see people meeting up with old acquaintances or making a new contact. The passion and energy in the room was contagious. Picking up the map of the conference layout was when it really hit home how massive ISPO was. There were 15 separate units split into sport specific categories. To put the scale into context, each unit could probably hold 2, or even 3, football pitches.
The exciting element of the conference for me was visiting the smaller brands, who were trying to increase their market presence and potential catch the eye of a big game player. Three products stood out to me and I have highlighted them below. I will be writing more detailed reviews of each product shortly.
It was my first visit to ISPO and personally I found it had a great buzz and energy about it. If you are involved in this industry, or aspire to be, ISPO is a must attend event in 2013.
1) Go Pro (Hero 2) – Extreme Sports Video

Cambridge Design Partnership's innovative design allows commuters to keep fit and look smart
The practice of cycling to work, whether for convenience or keep-fit, has risen sharply in recent years: Yet cycling is still impractical for many people who need to dress smart for their job. Commuters wanting to cycle often have to sacrifice either a sharp look or exercise in their struggle to find convenient ways to cycle to work and look slick. Cambridge Design Partnership today announces an innovative solution to this problem.
Suitpack is a prototype of a compact rucksack that, with an innovative yet simple patented roll-fold concept, combines convenience with a crease-free solution for clothes. It is designed to hang easily from locations wherever required allowing easy-access to the clothes, toiletry and shoe compartments. The Suitpack has been designed for speed of use with its novel folding system making it an all-round solution for the modern commuter.
Increased commuting time and the ever more common practice of working long hours often mean that there is little time outside of work to dedicate to exercise. The convenience of cycling as a form of exercise, the popularity of various government cycling initiatives, and financial and environmental concerns, have all resulted in a significant net increase in cycle-commuting. 1.3 million new UK cyclists joined the roads last year, there are now 783,000 cycle commuters and the increase in cycling levels is predicted to continue to grow another 20% by 2015.
Furthermore, cyclists clearly enjoy spending on their passion1: The bicycle market in the UK was worth £1.62 billion in 2010, (up 28% on the previous year), with the accessories market worth £853 million. The average cycle commuter spends, on average, £195/year, and 'enthusiasts' a whopping £1295/year, on accessories. And that's just the UK market; the EU cycle market is 10 times the UK's with 4 million frequent commuter cyclists.
As part of their ethos to think differently, Cambridge Design Partnership has ventured into new capabilities by combining their traditional engineering and innovation skills with 'cut and stitch' design. This is another example of flexibility and versatility in applying innovation to diverse market opportunities and technology areas with the ability to gather rich, in-depth research to discover unmet consumer needs and tackle them with creative solutions.
"We know the challenges faced by anyone who has to pack smart clothes for the journey to work," commented Ben Strutt, Head of Design at Cambridge Design Partnership. "Most people who go to the gym early, cycle or jog to work, and commute regularly in 'practical' clothes understand the need to change into smart attire upon arrival. This can be annoyingly impractical: Current poor solutions result in disruption to personal routine; lack of exercise, or commuting via different methods. There is also the issue of office changing facilities which tend to be cramped, impersonal, with floors too wet to put clothes on.
"Very often the trick of good design is not to reinvent the wheel; but to identify and understand problems, give a fresh perspective, and address a burning gap in the market. Here, Cambridge Design Partnership has provided an innovative, graceful solution to what is, for many people, an everyday problem, and which addresses a huge market need."
It's not just cyclists who will benefit from Suitpack. Many commuters wish to go to the gym before or after work, or during their lunch break, and Suitpack also fits within the dimensions of 'hand luggage' allowed by European airports and in railway ceiling racks, allowing business commuters to travel in comfortable clothes with all of the convenience of the backpack form-factor. Also despite its compact size there is still space for a laptop and important daily accessories.
Graeme Henderson, business commuter and partner in the project, says: "Life in the city can be fast and days in the office are often long, so many people find they don't have time to go to the gym or play any sport. Commuting by bike solves this problem by incorporating exercise into your daily routine, so a healthy lifestyle and a busy job are no longer incompatible. But the problem of what to wear means the only options seem to be turning up with crumpled trousers, keeping your wardrobe under your desk or taking transport and exercising later. The Suitpack is a smart solution to all this."
CDP's Head of Design continues "Cambridge Design Partnership's most recent demonstrator has evolved during the application of our usual iterative design process; with rapid experimentation and critiquing of successive models and prototypes we quickly learn about problems and opportunities, while refining the design for cost and labour effective manufacture."
Cambridge Design Partnership is now interested in speaking with potential partners about the future branding and development of the Suitpack backpack, or its core innovations into other luggage designs, and on to the manufacture and distribution phase.

Press release from Loughborough University:
With a punishing training schedule and six matches under their belts, the rest and recovery strategies of the French and New Zealand teams will be as crucial as their match play tactics in the Rugby World Cup final this Sunday. Innovative sports science technology developed at Loughborough University has been helping many of the All Blacks squad to maintain peak performance.
The Canterbury Crusaders make up one third of the All Blacks Team. The devastating Christchurch earthquake in February 2011 placed a massive strain on the Crusaders, with their home ground closed for the entire season, they effectively played every match as an away game. However, using the Loughborough expertise, the Crusaders were able optimize their recovery in order to reach the finals of the national championship and have 10 of their players selected for the All Blacks Rugby World Cup challenge, with Richie McCaw as captain.
The innovative recovery expertise is the work of Dr Vern Neville, a professional America's Cup sailor, scientist and coach who spent over a decade analyzing the behaviours and training patterns of elite athletes from the worlds of rugby, sailing, soccer, cycling and Formula 1.
Honing his research in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Science at Loughborough University (Team GB's Olympic preparation base), Dr Neville sought programming expertise from Harvard and Stanford University alumni to create an intuitive web and smartphone based software for intelligent recovery. The software uses 13 daily evidence based inputs including resting heart rate, sleep, hydration, mood, appetite, muscle soreness and illness and converts these using smart analytics into a single recovery score. This enables athletes and teams to decide how hard to train and how much they should rest.
Commenting on the impact of the Loughborough expertise, Ashley Jones, the Canterbury Crusaders Physical Performance Co-Ordinator / Strength & Conditioning Coach from 2004 – 11, said: "With the use of Restwise (the software) we were able to ascertain which players needed extra sessions for recovery and also seeing which recovery modalities worked best with players, so in effect individualising the recovery as we do our physical training."
"Recovery isn't just important, it's a biological necessity," said Dr Neville. "Too little recovery and you slowly grind yourself down, risking both impaired performance and lowered immune function. Too much recovery and you don't introduce enough stress to trigger physiological adaptation. You don't get fitter, stronger and faster." He continued: "Without a way to consistently and easily monitor recovery during high demand training or competition periods such as during the Rugby World Cup, even the best trained teams are at risk of over-fatigue or injury. This could well be the deciding factor in the outcome of the World Cup."
Restwise has already been part of 38 world championship wins, gaining the respect of coaches and practitioners from the world of professional rugby, cycling and sailing as well as a host of Olympic sports.
Professor Myra Nimmo, Head of Loughborough University's School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences where Vern undertook his PhD commented: "Restwise is an excellent example of how our world leading scientific research can be translated to deliver real impact in optimising sport performance."

In today's world where technological advancement is competing with a global power shortage,
Uninterruptible Power supply has assumed an indispensable role in the world of telecommunication
and databases. In the industrial scenario, in order to power multiple computers and to increase
the redundancy, many small UPS s are used in combination.
Each of these UPSs also has their own power supply, which ensures uninterrupted operation
of the computer, by providing protection against both UPS failure and input voltage failure.
Industrial Uninterruptible power supplies are special UPS s designed to handle the heavy industrial
work and provide an alternative to using multiple UPSs. The industrial Uninterruptible power
supplies possessing a pure sine wave output along with intelligent battery management system have
a high power capacity, thus perfectly suiting the needs of the industry. The line interactive Industrial
UPSs posses capable of serial communication and also is not totally dependent on their comparatively
short-lived batteries for providing power to a device. The more advanced models of industrial UPS s
also possess additional attributes like Elevated temperature performance, comprehensive network
management and remote monitoring. Complete with a rugged industrial look, the modern day
Industrial UPSs are usually double conversion/online type UPSs, which have an extended run time along with swappable

The Juvenile Court
In 1999, 100 years after the establishment of the nation's first juvenile
court in Cook County (Chicago), Illinois, nearly all states have succeeded
in passing sweeping legislation to "criminalize" or "adultify" their juvenile
justice systems. Virtually every state now makes it far easier to transfer
juveniles to adult court, hold them in adult jails, and sentence them to
adult prisons. Most require judges to impose harsher and longer sentences
than ever before. The results of these changes are alarming. Last year
nearly 18,000 youths spent time in adult prisons, 20 percent mixed with
the general adult population. On any given day 7,000 to 8,000 youth are
held in adult jails nationwide. In many states juvenile records are no
longer sealed and some even allow juvenile offenses to be counted in Three
Strikes legislation. Federal juvenile justice bills now pending (S. 254
and H.R. 1501) promise more of the same. The states, and sadly the public,
have bought into the notion long advanced by tough-on-crime ideologues,
that juvenile offenders should be treated as criminals who happen to be
young, not children who happen to be criminal.
As someone who has worked with delinquent and disadvantaged youth in many
settings—from juvenile and adult prisons to alternative programs for "at
risk" teenagers to inner-city schools—I am deeply troubled by such measures.
One hundred years ago Jane Addams and a group of visionary women dedicated
themselves to saving children from the adult jails and prisons to which
they had been previously confined. These reformers rejected the dominant
philosophy of their day, which viewed children as mini adults. They tried
to create a new vision of childhood as a sacred period of life during which
youth should be nurtured and supported. They dreamed of establishing a
court where troubled children would have access to a full array of specialized
treatment services. Following their example, the juvenile court idea spread
rapidly across the country and around the world. Tragically, children's
advocates are still fighting many of the same battles as did the founders
of the juvenile court.
Today's misguided efforts to "toughen up" the juvenile justice system are
built on several dangerous myths and misconceptions. The first, popularized
by Princeton Professor John Dilulio, is the belief that we are confronted
by a new generation of super predators who are far beyond the rehabilitative
capabilities of the juvenile court. The second is that we are experiencing
an unprecedented wave of juvenile crime. Paradoxically, both myths have
demonstrated tremendous staying power despite six straight years of declining
juvenile crime rates.
Juveniles are far less violent than we have been led to believe. Nationwide,
violent offenses account for only 5 percent of all juvenile arrests, according
to the FBl's Uniform Crime Report. Homicide represents less than 0.1 percent.
Instead, juveniles are far more likely to be arrested for non-violent property
offenses (38 percent) and so-called "status" offenses such as underage
drinking, running away, loitering, and curfew violations (18 percent).
Time honored juvenile offenses such as disorderly conduct and vandalism
each represent another 6 percent of juvenile arrests. Interestingly, these
misperceptions about youth are nothing new. In The Cycle of Juvenile Justice,
historian Thomas J. Bernard shows how over the past 200 years each generation
has believed that juveniles were committing more frequent and more serious
crimes than juveniles 30 or 40 years earlier.
Crime statistics are enormously complicated. In particular, the FBl's Uniform
Crime Report (UCR) is notoriously unreliable and easily affected by small
changes in reporting and processing procedures. For example, "aggravated
assault," which represents the largest category of so-called violent juvenile
offenses, is a catch-all category that can include school yard fist fights
as well as cases of only threatened, but not actual, harm. Moreover, today
police are far more likely to arrest juveniles than they were 20 years
ago. Thus an increase in arrests does not necessarily indicate an increase
in real rates of juvenile crime. Juvenile arrest rates are also misleading
in several other ways. Children are far more likely to commit crimes in
groups, thereby generating multiple arrests for a single offense. Children
are also far more likely to be arrested on weaker evidence than adults,
and thus a large percentage of juvenile arrests are later dismissed. Because
of this, clearance rates (the number of crimes for which juveniles are
actually charged and turned over to the court for prosecution) are far
more accurate than arrest rates. What do these clearance rates reveal?
That since 1972 the amount of serious property crime committed by youth
has remained stable, if not declined. The National Crime Victimization
Survey (NCVS) conducted annually by the Department of Justice has also
documented a steady decline in most types of crime, although the NCVS is
cited far less frequently than the FBl's UCR by news reporters.
Juvenile murder rates provide the major exception. While juvenile homicide
arrests tripled between 1984 and 1993, they have declined by over 40 percent
since then. Yet here again such arrest figures are highly misleading and
contribute to our distorted view of juvenile crime. Many of these murder
arrests were subsequently dropped by prosecutors, a clear indicator of
lack of evidence and, presumably, lack of guilt. For example, although
youths age 13 to 15 constituted 4.2 percent of the U.S. population and
accounted for 4.2 percent of all homicide arrests in 1995, in the end they
were charged (i.e., legally prosecuted) for homicide in only 2.4 percent
of all cases. Even if we look at a broader age range, youth age 13 to 17
are not overrepresented in terms of murder rates. Constituting 8.2 percent
of the population, they were cleared for 8 percent of all homicides in
1996. Moreover, the 1980s increase in homicide arrests was entirely restricted
to gun violence. The number of youth arrested for non-gun related murders
has actually declined since 1976. Thus, one might conclude that it is the
far greater availability of lethal weapons, rather than a new generation
of super predators, that is primarily responsible for the 1986-1993 increase
in juvenile homicide arrests.
Even when we look closely at the so-called serious youthful offenders—the
ones being sent to prison—we find large numbers of non-violent cases. The
majority sentenced to juvenile prisons are committed for property and drug-related
offenses; many are housed in small, non-secure facilities. Similarly, nationwide
two thirds of youth transferred to adult criminal court were charged with
non-violent offenses in 1996: 45 percent for property crimes; 12 percent
drugs offenses; and 9 percent for vaguely-defined "public order" offenses.
Whereas the juvenile court was originally empowered to act "in the best
interests of the child," perhaps by devising an alternative to a prison
sentence if the judge determined it would do more harm than good for a
particular child, such individualized justice has been significantly reduced.
Today's "automatic transfer" laws mandate that a juvenile who commits a
certain type of offense must automatically be prosecuted in adult court,
regardless of the circumstances.
As we toughen up juvenile justice we are only sweeping up ever-larger numbers
of non-violent offenders, who are overwhelmingly disadvantaged African-American
and Latino youth, into an increasingly harsh and punitive system. Increasingly
it is a system in which funding cutbacks mean they are even less likely
to be provided with any real rehabilitative or treatment programs. For
example, the education program which allowed me to teach for five years
within the Illinois prison system is no longer eligible for federal funding.
Nor is there any evidence that these get tough policies work. In fact,
quite the opposite appears to be the case. Children who are tried in adult
courts are more likely to commit new crimes, and more serious crimes, than
similar kids who are treated in juvenile court. Conversely, although the
public is led to believe that juvenile court is simply a revolving door
where the same youthful offenders appear over and over again, receiving
only an ineffective slap on the wrist, most children (60 percent) who are
arrested and referred to juvenile court never appear again, according to
a recent U.S. Department of Justice study.
These are the "successes" that we rarely hear about. Most youth need only
one encounter with the law to shake them up. For others the juvenile court
succeeds in providing a caring probation officer, a special program, or
counseling services that offer the support they need. I have worked closely
with juveniles convicted of serious crimes, including murder. They are
not the embodiments of unredeemable evil that the label super predator
suggests. Many are desperately reaching out for adult guidance.
However, in jurisdictions such as Los Angeles where juvenile probation
caseloads reached 500 per officer and virtually all treatment programs
were eliminated in the 1990s, it is not surprising that such success stories
have become far fewer. Instead, California's juvenile prisons, like those
in many states, are bursting at their seams as more and more juveniles
are sentenced to prison for non-violent offenses.
The original vision of the juvenile court was to give kids a "second chance."
To allow them to make mistakes without being penalized for life. Most of
us who have worked with troubled youth know that hope, not fear, is what
leads to real rehabilitation and change. Those who have no hope of a future,
those who see no life of possibility ahead, are far less likely to be deterred,
no matter how harsh the penalties we impose. In the past, most youth, even
those heavily involved in criminal activity, often moved away from crime
by their mid-20s as they matured. But this is only possible if we offer
them the chance to pursue more honest means of making a living and jobs
which offer a living wage, opportunities that will be increasingly limited
if we expose their juvenile records to schools, future employees, and the
military. Many inner city, poor, and minority youth can already report
how a single arrest cost them a job.
The underlying causes of, and real solutions to, juvenile crime often lie
far outside the justice system. As a society we have failed to provide
the resources so that all children might enjoy the same educational, social,
cultural, and economic opportunities. Opportunities that might reduce the
allure of crime, drugs, gangs, and delinquency. Instead, we have chosen
to retreat to the suburbs, build more walled and gated communities, send
our own children to private schools. In the end, our current get tough
policies have only served to polarize our society even more, rending even
deeper the divisions of race and class which grow ever more intractable.

Last Update: Wednesday, August 27, 2014
|Fellow Veterans and Friends of Veterans
|Written by San Fernando Valley Sun
|Thursday, 29 March 2012 02:26
Actor George Clooney and a few Congressmen were arrested – outside of the Sudanese embassy in Washington D.C. last week. The arrests were anticipated and was part of the actor's effort to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
Wouldn't it be inspiring if actors and Congressmen would be willing to draw attention to the human rights violations that our own Government perpetrates against homeless Veterans here in the United States, particularly in Los Angeles, and get arrested on their behalf?
Regarding Mr. Clooney and the Congressmen: "They were protesting the violence committed by the government of Sudan on its own innocent men, women and children. They were demanding they allow humanitarian aid into the country before it becomes the largest humanitarian crisis in the world."
Memo to George Clooney: Los Angeles has our nation's largest population for homeless Veterans, even though we have the largest VA property in the nation, there are empty buildings and rampant abuse and misappropriation of Veterans land and facilities. And George, this is in your own back yard where you live in the lap of luxury, thanks to these very men and women who have defended your right to live the good life and prosper in a free-market economy where your profession is one of the highest-paid of all.
While Veterans land is illegally used for a public dog park, public park, public golf, public theaters, private school grounds, and a host of other egregious abuses, homeless Veterans sleep outside the locked gates to the VA.
These are heinous crimes against humanity right here in the United States -- against the very men and women who pledged their lives to defend the U.S. Constitution -- and now 20,000 disabled and disadvantaged Veterans are forced to live homeless and hungry in backalley squalor.
The Veterans Home is in Congressman Henry Waxman's 30th District and George Clooney lives nearby the Veterans Home in West Los Angeles.
No actor or elected member of Congress has ever supported our four-year protest on behalf of disabled, homeless and impoverished Veterans.
Meanwhile, the VA issued six arrest citations against me for holding a purportedly illegal protest --- after 66 consecutive Sundays of peaceful demonstrations.
The Clooney / Congressmen protest in D.C. was a publicity stunt and not a protest as they knew they would be arrested and the media would cover it.
Even though our Sunday Rallies are held at one of the busiest intersections in West Los Angeles and the Old Veterans Guard is made up of elderly Veterans in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, the media has never officially covered our protest for four years.
When we started our Sunday Rally protests on March 9, 2008 (Sunday will be our 209th consecutive protest Rally), we never thought any of our protestors would be arrested because we are peaceful, non-violent, law-abiding demonstrators.
Nonetheless, after more than a year of protests the VA police issued false, trumped-up charges against me to appear in U.S. Federal Court. The U.S. Attorney's Office rightfully dismissed all six falsified citations.
The ACLU also filed a lawsuit against the VA's executive director, Donna Beiter and her chief of police, Ronald Mathis, for viewpoint discrimination, i.e., censorship.
On May 26, 2011, Judge S. James Otero of the United States District Court rendered his decision in the first ACLU lawsuit, ruling in my favor: " Plaintiff's First Amendment right was violated as a matter of law when Defendants committed impermissible viewpoint discrimination." .. "Therefore, Defendants' selective enforcement was an effort to suppress the Plaintiff's activity due to disagreement with his view."
In sum, the Defendants censored my Free Speech and violated my Constitutional Right under the First Amendment. This is a federal crime: "Federal Statute18 USC Section 242 makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S."
The foregoing notwithstanding, both Defendants are still employed by the U.S. Government and operating under the color of law in their official capacities at the largest VA in the nation. This is because there has been no accountability by any public official to enforce the law. Without exception, public officials should never be allowed to violate the Constitutional Rights of any Citizen without legal consequences.
Everyone who serves in the United States Military pledges his or her life to defend the U.S. Constitution. Thus, it is reprehensible that the Defendants violated my Constitutional Right while we were trying to defend the safety and well-being of fellow Veterans who are disabled from defending the Constitution, and are now homeless because their exclusive and legally deeded property has been pillaged and plundered for non- Veteran use.
In spite of being adjudicated via U.S. Court of a federal crime, the Defendants continue to manage and operate the largest VA in the nation. It is our understanding that Defendant Mathis has been transferred and is retiring, yet Defendant Beiter continues as the executive director of the Los Angeles VA, the largest in the nation. Ms. Beiter is not a Veteran while in charge of the largest VA in the nation but still trampled on a Veteran's Constitutional Right. This underscores how blatantly wrong her crime really is and an affront to all men and women who defend the U.S. Constitution.
Moreover, Congressman Waxman has never come to our aid or defense for Defendant Beiter and Mathis violating my Constitutional Right to Free Speech.
However, he is always thumping his chest about being a defender of this very Right that has been flagrantly violated by a public official entrusted to care for Veterans.
Not only did Defendants Beiter and Mathis violate my Constitutional Right, but they also violated their own Oath of Office by failing to support and defend the U.S. Constitution, and both should be immediately terminated from public employment and prosecuted under Federal Statute 18 USC Section 242.
For nearly ten months, General Eric K. Shinseki, Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, has been respectfully requested to terminate the Defendants but he has refused to take action. By refusing to remove Ms. Beiter and Mr. Mathis from employment at the VA, Secretary Shinseki is also violating his own Oath of Office by refusing to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. Accordingly, he needs to be removed from public service as well.
Congressman Waxman is also violating his Oath of Office by not taking appropriate action and demanding that Secretary Shinseki fire Donna Beither as executive director of the Los Angeles VA in his District. Don't expect any actors or politicians to protest the misuse of Veterans land and the abuse of homeless Veterans in West Los Angeles because many of the actors and other fat-cats have children attending the wealthy and private Brentwood School that has a sweetheart deal with the VA for a playground and athletic field that is off limits to Veterans.
Henry Waxman is not going to stand up and say "no" to the wealthy fat-cats that feed his campaign coiffeurs, because it is so much easier to say "no" to homeless, hungry and impoverished Veterans.
Some day, this will be the real news and it will be a lot bigger than George Clooney and members of Congress holding a publicity stunt in D. C. on behalf of the Sudanese.
God Bless America and the Veterans Revolution!
Robert L. Rosebrock , who served in the U.S. Army from 1965-67, is the director of the Old Veterans Guard, and director Veterans Revolution.

It happened near 23rd and Denver around 3:30pm. Police say the argument was allegedly over a dog. That's when one of the neighbors shot at the other's house. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Police have made one arrest in the case but the suspect has not yet been formally arraigned.

Sir Norman Bettison resigns after Hillsborough 'cover-up' allegations
Sir Norman Bettison has resigned as chief constable of West Yorkshire Police after allegations that he was involved in a cover-up of the Hillsborough disaster.
Sir Norman first came under pressure earlier last month after he was named in the Hillsborough Independent report.
West Yorkshire Police Authority referred Sir Norman to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which is investigating his role.
Sir Norman said he resigned because his presence was proving a "distraction to policing" at West Yorkshire Police, and "not because of any allegations about the past".
ITV News' Correspondent Stephen Douglas reports:
The IPCC has confirmed it is pursuing two separate investigations - the first is looking at "potential criminal offences" and the second "misconduct matters".
Whilst Sir Norman's resignation would not preclude a potential conviction, it does mean he can not be disciplined if the second investigation finds him at fault.
It is not yet clear whether Sir Norman will receive all of the £83,000 pension he is entitled from his time as Chief Constable of Merseyside Police.
ITV News' UK Editor Lucy Manning reports that he could stand to lose up to 65% of his pension if he is charged with and found guilty of a criminal offence.
Reacting to the news of resignation, the chairwoman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, Margaret Aspinall, said she was "delighted" that he was leaving.
– Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group
I'm absolutely delighted he's gone but as far as I am concerned he should have been sacked.
I would now like to know what payments and pension he's going to get.
Any financial benefits should be frozen until the outcome of the investigation into the cover-up.
This is not the end of it, the next thing is to make sure his role is properly investigated.
He's not the only one who we believe took part in this cover-up. But as a senior officer he should have been honest from the very beginning," she said.
He allowed the families to suffer for 23-years while knowing the truth all along.
Sir Norman released the following statement announcing his resignation:
– Sir Norman Bettison statement
First, and foremost, the Hillsborough tragedy, 23 years ago, left 96 families bereaved and countless others injured and affected by it. I have always felt the deepest compassion and sympathy for the families, and I recognise their longing to understand exactly what happened on that April afternoon. I have never blamed the fans for causing the tragedy.
Secondly, I refute the report of a conversation 23 years ago. The suggestion that I would say to a passing acquaintance that I was deployed as part of a team tasked to 'concoct a false story of what happened', is both incredible and wrong. That isn't what I was tasked to do, and I did not say that.
Thirdly, there is a due process to deal with any allegation through the IPCC and the criminal law. I remain consistent in my desire to assist those enquiries to the full, both now and in the future. These processes should help to separate facts from speculation.
Fourthly, I sought to remain in post to address those allegations. It now appears that that will take some time. The Police Authority, and some of the candidates in the forthcoming PCC elections, have made it clear that they wish me to go sooner. I do so, not because of any allegations about the past, but because I share the view that this has become a distraction to policing in West Yorkshire now and in the future.
I have therefore agreed to retire within the statutory notice period. It has been a privilege to serve the public as a Police Officer for more than 40 years and I wish the Force and the Police Service every success for the future.
Yesterday, a Hillsborough survivor and former civil servant told ITV News that Sir Norman had told him about a 'cover-up' shortly after the 1989 stadium tragedy.
Sir Norman Bettison denies that he has done anything wrong and says he is sure the IPCC will clear him.
Last month, he told Lucy Manning that "there's nothing I'm ashamed of" over Hillsborough.

Forget MetroPCS, Just Buy Sprint
$S $PCS $T $VZ I always love when the stock market throws a good sale. Yesterday, it put a big sign on shares of Sprint Nextel that read "Today Only - 14% Off" after T-Mobile announced that it's snapping up rival MetroPCS. If you'd listened to the pundits, you'd think that this is just another nail in the coffin for the troubled Sprint, which itself tried to acquire PCS last year, albeit at much higher prices. But that's simply not the case, as Sprint can do just fine with or without PCS in its stable.
The fact of the matter is that after years of struggling to combine its Sprint and Nextel networks and losing big on its bet supporting WiMax, Sprint finally got religion under CEO Dan Hesse and has been executing what can only be called a miraculous turnaround, one which has sent shares of Sprint up 114% for the year, even after yesterday's 14% haircut.
Sprint has made the tough call to both cut its loses with Wimax and shutter its expensive Nextel network and go all-in on LTE, an advanced, high-speed network to rival both AT&T and Verizon's latest efforts. The company also paid through the nose to obtain the iPhone, a move which pundits also panned, but one that's already bearing fruit. Let's face it, you're not a real wireless carrier if you don't have the iPhone.
Hesse has also been vigilant on improving customer service to stem the tide of fleeing customers as well as cleaning up the company's balance sheet by reducing debt at a very commendable rate. Over the next 12 to 34 months, you will see Sprint emerge as a healthy, viable and respected number three player in the U.S. wireless market as its LTE and smart phone offerings at long last become on par with AT&T and Verizon. The company already offers truly unlimited data plans, something that continues to lure customers to its offerings.
So where does that leave T-Mobile? After their failed merger with AT&T, T-Mobile now finds itself in a similar spot to where Sprint was just two years ago. They're a tiny fish in a big pond, they lack the iPhone and they don't have the spectrum needed to seriously roll out a next-generation network. Thus the move to acquire MetroPCS at these depressed levels makes perfect sense, as it gives T-Mobile a larger subscriber base and the spectrum it needs to crawl into fourth place behind Sprint.
But does Sprint need PCS in order to survive? No, they don't. Sprint's LTE roll-out will proceed just fine without extra spectrum from PCS or another merger. Does a bigger T-Mobile represent a competitive threat to Sprint? No, not really. Without an LTE network, the new T-Mobile is at best two years behind where Sprint already finds itself in its evolution.
Sprint will clearly never be a major threat to either AT&T or Verizon, but in the scramble to become a thriving alternative, I think it's clear that if Sprint continues to execute on its plan and clean up its debt, the company can easily achieve its goals.
I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Sprint still makes a bid for MetroPCS, since more spectrum is always a good thing and shares of PCS are worth a lot less this time around, but either way, Sprint comes out a winner.

How do I use it? (To print this page, click on 'File' , and select 'Print' or 'Print Preview'. Use Landscape formator Resize as necessary)[Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]
First and foremost, 5 things to remember at all times:
1. Know your Laser Printer - You must not use this laser transfer paper if you do not know how to, or are unable to clean or change the rollers and perform maintenance on your laser printer as you will risk damaging your printer with these laser transfer papers. Heat is required for the final transfer phase, yet laser printers also use heat to transfer the image to the transfer paper; as such, there is a natural risk of the transfer transferring to your printer's heating roller (this usually isn't fatal for laser printers, but can be annoying to clean). Any laser printer that has very old worn down rollers or heats paper above the paper's melting temperature should also be avoided where possible (or use at your own risk/ discretion). If the transfer paper gets 'transferred' to the printer roller, you will have to clean the rollers later, which is recommended anyway after each transfer (described further down).
Other Notes
Repairing or Rescuing Failed, Damaged, and Flaking (peeling) Transfers:
If your transfer is peeling / flaking off after the wash, just cover it with a wax sheet which should be included with your order, and iron it again at maximum temperature using stronger pressure than before.
Alternatively, if your transfer has failed, torn or has been physically damaged or eroded, you can repair it using opaque transfer paper.
Note: This step requires Opaque transfer paper which is sold separately. Opaque transfers are needed for repairs because they come with an opaque background and are stackable.
Opaque transfers can be layered and stacked; this means you can iron a transfer on top of an existing transfer attempt - This is extremely useful for repairs.
Since the new transfer comes with a white background, the old previous transfer is basically covered up/obscured by the new transfer image placed on top of it. Therefore, the new transfer will be the only one visible. In otherwords, if a T-shirt transfer fails or suffers damage over time, don't throw out the T-shirt!. Just reprint the transfer (or just a section of the original image that is damaged), place it over the existing failed transfer or damaged section, cover it with wax paper and iron it as before. Let it cool down first and then peel off the wax paper, which should leave you with an even stronger transfer looking pretty much as good as new!
This is also useful if you wish to create raised texture effects.
Secret Method for Superior long life and unparalleled durability that is totally unmatched by other transfers on the market:
This method works on both our Opaque and Transparent transfers. To do this step, you need our transparent grade transfer paper. As mentioned earlier, our transfers are stackable. To enhance your transfer in this step, you need to take a blank sheet/piece of transparent transfer paper and iron it over your existing transfer. This creates a thick permanent layer of transparent coating over your transfer which shields and protects your existing transfer from any damage. With this extra layer, your transfer is several times stronger than normal, extremely waterproof, and very scratch resistant. The more layers you add, the more ridiculously strong the transfer becomes!.
Just how strong is it? We used the sharp end of scissors to scratch a transfer double coated using this technique. Not a single bit of the ink had come off after 20 moderate 90 degree scratches using the sharp tip of our scissors. That's far better than some commercial factory transfers we have come across from major brands!
You can even decide the desired surface texture based on the type of transfer paper used (matte/ gloss). Most customers prefer the matte transfers to do this extra layer as it results in a very natural look. (It is also easy to apply- at least when used over existing transfers due to the chemical bonds).
You can also add images and text with each layer at your discretion.
Improving the Appearance of the Transfer / Adding Texture / Removing Bubbles:
the Image:
HAND IRONING: Normally, the iron should be preheated to the hottest setting and be completely emptied of water and set to the dry setting. Iron the shirt to remove any wrinkles and excess moisture. Iron on a safe hard surface like a counter top. Do not iron on a wood, glass or metal surface. Place the transfer face down on the garment. Iron, using the heaviest pressure, in straight lines vertically and horizontally over the entire image. Make sure to overlap the edges. Iron each section of the paper evenly. Avoid ironing one part more than the rest. Each part of the transfer paper should be exposed to the heat for around 30 seconds, but you must utilize trial and error as per the test sheets for determining both the correct pressure and exposure times.
HEAT PRESS: Set the heat press to 340 - 370 degrees Farenheight (around 180 degrees Celsius). Prepress fabric for a few seconds to remove wrinkles and excess moisture. Place the transfer face down on the garment. Using medium pressure, press for 20-30 seconds.
Washing the
completed garment / fabric after the transfer:
Storage of
unused paper :
Preferably, return unused portion of paper to a sealed airtight bag or container with as little air, water and moisture in it as possible. Keep the unused paper or portions in a cool dry environment away from heating and cooling sources, and also avoid UV radiation such as the sun. Bent / warped paper may be flattened under a stack of books overnight (or by other methods that you can think of, except heat irons).

There is, has been, and will be social activity online beyond Facebook.
Cool infographic from Socialjumpstart.com for sure. Certainly there is some perspective to be gained – revenues, employees, when they were founded, other players. They represent a variety of purposes, intents and activities. Although the Pinterest numbers are suspiciously low. Regardless, it's worth a 30 second look as you head into the weekend or enjoy a post-lunch cocktail on Saturday.
Before you get bearish on Facebook, think about how many of these networks are actually ubiquitous; how deep is the actual engagement; are they platforms; what's in it for brands; why should people care; and why should they share. Uh huh.
