USC Libraries and Hours
- USC's LibrariesUSC have over 20 libraries, counting specialized collections within other library buildings, and including both campuses and remote sites. Find out what the libraries are, and their links on the USC maps, at this site!
- Libraries' HoursThe various libraries are open different hours, which also vary per semester. For example, Leavey Library is open 24/6 during the Fall and Spring semesters. All libraries have shorter hours during the Summer semester. Click "Libraries' Hours" above for detailed information on hours the libraries are open.
Printing in the USC Libraries
- Library PrintingThe USC Libraries provide numerous Xerox machines for printing, copying, and scanning. Printing is also possible remotely from wireless devices. For more specific information on cost, double-sided, color printing and other options, follow the "Library Printing" link above.
Remote & Wireless Access
If you are using a wireless device to connect to the Libraries' online resources, OR if you are off campus, you MUST login either:
- Via the login button on the MyUSC page, or
- Through the Libraries' proxy server.
This will validate that, as a USC person, you have the right to access our resources. The links from the Libraries' web site include a link to the proxy server, so if have not logged in through MyUSC, you may be prompted for your USC e-mail username & password.
Welcome to the USC Libraries
As you begin your academic career at USC, we in the USC Libraries want to let you know we are here to help you do your best!
We have printed books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and DVDs in the libraries at USC. We also have thousands of online journals and e-books that you can access from the Web.
You can study in any of the libraries, and Leavey Library and Doheny Library have group study spaces you may reserve online.
The rest of the boxes on this guide will point you to some library resources in more detail -- these are resources your Summer Bridge professors think will be especially useful to you.
You will get a chance to meet several librarians several different times in your Bridge experience:
- The Orientation
- Your EDPT 110 Class
- Your Writing 120 Class (focus is on "Resources for Your Research at the USC Libraries")
Our goal in the library sessions will be to help you to:
- Contact librarians for research assistance, including using Research Guides like this one
- Understand the library resources exist in both electronic/online and print formats
- Be able to search several article and newspaper databases for information to support your research papers and your studies
- Evaluate the Libraries' and other information resources to see if they are appropriate and valid for your USC schoolwork
- Be able to sort out popular vs. scholarly resources in the databases, in print, and on the Internet
Again, welcome, and Fight On!
~ Ben Lea & Sara Tompson
Last update: June 2012
- 24/7 live chat -- Librarians are on-call, around the clock, to assist you. However, be aware that it won't always be a USC librarian, so they may not be familiar with the resources you can access.
- E-mail -- This link will send a general e-mail to the libraries, who will then direct it to the appropriate person.
- Phone -- Want to talk to an actual person at the reference desk? Here's where to find those phone numbers.
- Find your subject specialist -- If you have questions about a specific subject (such as "What resources are available for cinema students?"), you can find out who the librarian specialist is at this link, then schedule a one-on-one consultation with him or her.
Preview of Coming Attractions
We're in the process of revamping the USC Libraries' website -- this is what it should look like when classes begin in the fall!

text: Wow. Yesterday morning, I park my car, and walk up to the office (a couple blocks since I work downtown). About 5 minutes later, I get a call from a coworker asking what my license number is. Confused as to what the heck he was talking about, I was then told my car is on fire. I ran down to the parking lot to find 15 foot high flames shooting out of the Krautmobile, and black smoke engulfing the parking lot. Standing in dumbfounded amazement, I watched the front of my car melt. Once the fire inspectors were done, I was able to check it out. The front end, engine, completely melted. On the ground. Inside is blackened. I was asked by fire inspector whether the car was in the shop recently. AA BMW had the car a week ago. They must've pinched something in the electrical box, which caused this bonfire while the car was OFF. I was told that had I done my normal routine of warming the car up for 5-10 minutes before getting in, I probably would've been driving on M-14 when the car went up, and unable to do anything, since the doors melted closed and the car filled with smoke. Unreal. So, I left work to file my claim, and now have to get a new car. Crazy. Crappy cameraphone photos: Fire inspector with car: Close up: What she used to be:

December 2nd...Part 2
With two tastings now behind us I was in need of coffee and something in my tummy besides alcohol and the Vista Café fit that bill perfectly.
Mocha Latte
A few snacks
I kind of knew what I wanted to do after Vista Café, so we went off to do some window shopping (note window is the key word here) and with no purchases in hand, (I know shocker!) we arrived at the Walt Disney Theater to take in the 3D showing of Frozen. Just a warning which you probably already know, the popcorn here is pre-bagged and twice as much as it is back home. We settled for a bottle of water, a Root Beer in a souvenir cup and some chocolate. I really loved this movie. Disney/Pixar at its best. But all I find myself doing is humming, Let it go. It doesnt help that Demi Lovato sang it during Disneys Christmas Parade on TV. Im just stuck. Let it go! Let it go! Lol!
A couple of shots along the way
Dinner was coming up quickly so we returned to our stateroom to get ready for Animators Palate.
Table setting ooh crayons!
Table # 78
I love these little knives
Garlic and Herb Foccacia with a Rosemary Virgin Olive Oil dip (new on the menu)
Guess what we are?
Blueberrilicious Tequila, Fresh Blueberries, Passion Fruit Juice, Orange Flavor Liquor, and Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
Golden Breeze Vodka, Amaretto, Galliano, Orange Juice, and Pineapple Juice
Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes x 2 Pasta Purse filled with Truffle scented Cheese and coated with a delicate Champagne Sauce
Arugula and Curly Endive Salad with Sliced Chorizo, Dried Figs, and Herbed Croutons topped with a Cider Dressing (new on the menu)
Creamy Butternut Squash Soup Garnished with Chives and drizzled with Sour Cream
Herb Crusted Veal Chop Roasted Veal Chop Brushed with Dijon Mustard and crusted with Herbed Breadcrumbs served with Sun-dried Tomato Risotto and a Barolo Wine Sauce (so tasty and also new)
Like you dont know what this is! :D

We returned to our room after having a lengthy discussion with Kris and Larry about what there was to do in St Maarten tomorrow. I had an idea but no clue really and was happily surprised when Kris invited us to go along with them. We were to meet at 8am, Easy because their stateroom was just across the way and down a couple of doors. Regardless of our early morning Dan and I stopped by the Skyline for a night cap from our bartender Julian and server Priscila who oddly in the dark recognized us from the Mixology class earlier.

Paris 75 best cocktail ever!
It was getting late but I had my camera on me and noticed just how empty the ship was. So dont be shocked by the amount of photos I am about to post.

December 3rd St Maarten with new friends
We made plans with Kris and Larry to meet at around 8am. We were only around the corner from each other but after a phone call we met at the elevator. Once off the ship we all made our way to the nearest taxi station and before I could blink my eye Larry found a taxi that would take all four of us to Marigot for a reasonable price. We hopped in and we off. The drive was very scenic, rich with trees and vegetation and houses way up into the hillside.
The road to Marigot
Once we stopped we walked down to the waterfront and took in the view before heading just down the street to Sarafinas Bakery. I had heard a lot about this place and it was definitely on my to-do list so I was so happy that Larry and Kris wanted to stop here.
Marigot and the marina
Sarafinas was a little place tucked away with a roof but very open. It was getting a bit warm but all the pastries and things were kept perfectly in glass cases.
So many things to choose from
Sarafinas sitting area
Oddly enough I never even got to try a dessert because I was hungry and just wanted breakfast. For both Dan and I this turned out to be Quiche, Lorraine for me and ham and cheese for him. I was too full to even think about desserts but now find myself regretting my choice. We should have tried something.
Yummy Quiche
Hey Dans got his own meat shop who knew. Lol!

We ran into another couple from our cruise group who shared a taxi to Maho with us which brought down the price even more. (I'm learning things if we should return). The drive was not very long and when we arrived we made our way to the Sunset Bar where a whole lot of our fellow cruisers were gathering for the same thing. Waiting for the giant KLB to land. Now watching a jet land is one thing but this place was noted the in Guinness World Book of Records for being one of the 10 most dangerous places to land a plane. It not only had to land but it literally hovered only a few yards overhead of sunbathers and swimmers alike not to mention those who were there just for the thrill or to get that awesome photo shot. Most of us stayed up in the bar area though some were more adventurous. There is also a place where the planes take off and the jet exhaust is so strong it will blow you over. Think Jacka$$ the movie (I know why would anyone?) where they try to do ordinary things in the blast of the exhaust. Yep…that's Maho.
Sunset Bar sign
Ok…the tail end of American Airlines
Here it comes
Closer…Image by Larry
This is the view from the beach…Image not mine but from our group
This sign sums it all up!
Back in the taxi we headed back to port getting out a little ways from the ship to check out some shopping. Here the only thing I bought was a couple of postcards to send home and that was it. The shops were close to each other and mostly offered the same three things: T-shirts, alcohol and diamonds. That was about it. Before we reached the port we stopped for some gelato and a little rest under some shade trees.

I'm so sorry you got seasick. I experienced the same thing on our last cruise and it was terrible. We booked GTY and were assigned room 8028 which was very forward and I could feel every movement of the ship and this was made worse by the rough seas we were having. I will never intentionally book forward again. I missed Royal Palace which is my favorite MDR on the Dream.

We were back on the ship by 2 pm and thanking Kris and Larry for a wonderful day we took off to find lunch.
St. Maarten from the ship
Flos to the rescue
Fish sandwich special of the day
Brats Dans favorites
Mushroom pizza
Salad from the fixins bar
Cookies chocolate chip was dry
Boats in the harbor
Norwegian Epic right beside us
St. Maarten panorama

After our late afternoon lunch I told Dan I was in need of coffee so we headed to the Cove Café. I really love this place. Dan and I grabbed a couple of lattes and a few snacks. So good.
Pumpkin Spice Latte Pumpkin Pie syrup, espresso and steamed milk
Candy Cane Chocolate Mocha Peppermint syrup, chocolate sauce, espresso and steamed milk can you say OMG!!!!
Berry tart and fruit puff pastry
After enjoying our coffee we made stop at Shutters to check out some photos. Dan and I saw a couple that we were interested in but moved along for now due to crowds and the fact that it was time to get ready for Pirate Night. Last year we dressed up in full Pirate garb and this year would be no different. We returned to our stateroom as I had already unpacked our Piratey stuff so we just had to get dressed. The plan was to get our picture taken with Pirate Mickey or Minnie because we had our pic taken with Captain Jack last time. We left our room and was stopped by our stateroom hostess who more than loved our outfits then it was off to our picture taken. We hurried to get in line for Mickey but was told the couple who had just arrived in front of us was the last. Just our luck. Minnie was already leaving so that was done too.
We found a place to sit across from the Bon Voyage bar, ordered a couple of drinks and just relaxed. We ran into Kelly and her husband and chatted just a bit before opting to have our picture taken in front of a backdrop of a skeleton captain on a pirate ship. The shot Kelly took with my camera came out so much better than the Shutters shot. After, it was time for dinner at the Royal Court.
A Pirates Life for Me!
Pomegranate Cosmo Grey Goose Vodka, Pomegranate juice, Cointreau, Freshly squeezed Lime Juice and Cranberry Juice

We met up with Kris and Larry who were sporting their Pirate bandanas. Being all too familiar with the Pirate Night menu we made our orders and prepared to enjoy another wonderful meal.
Johnny Cake with a pigeon pea relish
The Buccaneer's Sun-Ripened Pineapple fresh island pineapple with a coconut covered banana and orange glaze
Black Beard's Jumbo Crab Cake with a golden raisin-carrot and coconut slaw served with a spice Calypso dressing
Caribbean-style Conch Chowder with sherry, sweet peppers, onions, tomatoes, thyme, and garnished with diced potatoes and crispy bacon bits
Jerk Chicken Salad jerk-seasoned chicken strips over fresh crispy greens with a citrus dressing and plantain chips
Jack Sparrow's BBQ Marinated Beef Short Ribs rubbed beef short ribs with tamarind-BBQ sauce served with onion red bliss mashed potatoes and plantain chip
The Dutchmen's Dijon-Crusted Sirloin of Beef thick cut of beef with oven-roasted sweet potatoes and a black spot tomato with deep red wine glaze
Banana-Chocolate Crepe with mango coulis and toasted coconut (no sugar added dessert)
Dan asked for nothing and nothing he got! Lol!!!
Somewhere along our meal Shutters photographers grabbed some shots but they were so similar to other pictures that we had in the past that we passed on them. Upon returning to our room we were greeted by this little pirate and our invitation for dinner at Remy.
Towel pirate
Remy invitation
We did watch the fireworks and hang out for Club Pirate and a very cool DJ that kept the party hopping. Beforehand we kind of just walked through the Pirate buffet. Alas as in previous years we were just too darn full to try anything or even bring a snack to our room. Oh well, theres always next time.

Oh my gosh, so much to comment on!
First, we ate at Palo's for brunch the same day as you but we had a 12:30 reservation. I was surprised when we were walked through the buffet by a CM who put the food on our plates. I wasn't aware that it was because of an outbreak. That makes sense now. We loved Palo!
Wow two tasting in one day! That would've done me in. It looked like fun though.
I loved your pictures of the ship at night. I can tell you that when you were taking those pictures my family was probably already crashed for the night. We never made it past 10:30 most nights. DH and I never made it to Europa or Oh La La either. Actually, I don't even know where those are located on the ship. We walked through LaPiazz (or however it is spelled) several times; are they anywhere near there? I loved the picture of the hallway to Europa. Again, where was that hallway? See, we really need to go back on the Fantasy so I can explore all the places I didn't get to this trip. More reason to book another trip!
Our St. Maarten day was beautiful. We did the Bernard's Tour and really liked it. I had wanted to get to Sarafina's but our stop in Marigot was only about 30 minutes and until we made a bathroom stop we were only left with about 15 minutes so I didn't want to chance missing our bus. We did enjoy walking around the open-air market and got some good pictures. We didn't see the KLM jet land but we did see it take off. How awesome!
You are Dan looked great in your pirate attire!
I can't wait to hear about your St. Thomas day!

UrbanTile solar-powered displays, developed by Meidad Marzan.
In the summer of 2008, Simone Giostra and Arup unveiled a head-turning architectural installation on the occasion of the Beijing Summer Olympics. According to the architect, GreenPix—which collected energy from sunlight during the day and used it to power a giant multicolored media display at night—was the first zero-energy media wall for buildings.An industrial designer with Jerusalem-based Bezalel Academy of Art and Design has developed a GreenPix-like solution that may be easily adapted to existing structures. Meidad Marzan's solution, called UrbanTile, is an adjustable shading device that absorbs solar power during the day and utilizes the energy for nocturnal lighting needs. UrbanTiles may be tilted at various angles in order to maximize energy absorption and minimize glare for building occupants, and this rotation can be incorporated as an effect in moving illuminated OLED displays on the reverse side at night.Like any technology, UrbanTile could be used for good or for ill. Positive uses would include nighttime task lighting or building-wide emergency lighting. Negative uses would result in entire urban skylines accommodating flashing Times Square advertisements (although in Japan, this could be interesting). In any case, both Giostra's and Marzan's projects demonstrate the extent to which low-powered illumination is becoming an increasingly important consideration in architecture and urban design.

Just what I was hoping for!
I have been looking for a Hi-Viz jacket that wouldn't make me feel like a tennis ball on wheels, something with a little style to it but functional. I wasn't too sure whether to do another mail order because I have had trouble with getting sizes right. This jacket is everything I wanted it to be... fitted in the right places (adjustable), a nice quality liner and enough coloring on it to be noticed. I am impressed with the workmanship for the price, and I would say that the cut is pretty true to size. I wear a 10 dress or M top, but wanted to be sure that I would have enough room for layering. I got the XL, I would not have wanted it any bigger, but it adjusted nicely. If I weren't planning to layer, the L would have been just fine. Haven't gotten on the road with it yet, but plan to finish out the season with it!

|Stands Alone
About a month ago I received orders in the mail stating that I was transferred from the IRR to a local reserve MP unit. When I received the orders I was a week away from moving for work. Now I live half way across the country and would like to be transferred back into the IRR since I have less than 2 years left in my obligation and move frequently. I have been in talks with a NCO at the unit about filing a DA 4187(personal action). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that? Also, I was told that I was involuntarily transferred based on needs of the unit. This is not a mobilization but an assignment. The problem I have is my orders say that the transfer was "Voluntary". I was also curious if anyone has been "Involuntary" transferred to a TPU with orders stating it is a "Voluntary" transfer. Thank you in advance.
At a minimum you need to file a 4187 to re-assign you to a unit which is near your current residence geographically (USAR).
Next transferring back into the IRR will make you just as deployable. You may want to consider coming back on M-day (active drilling status with a guard unit. This way you will get better service and have a more predictable future (still may not prevent you from being Mob'd based on the needs of the state/nation).
If you are in the IRR you are more likely to get mobilized as an augmentee. An Officer off active duty (5 yrs) was just mob'd out of the IRR, he lost the opportunity to join a Guard Unit in CA.
Consider your options and how you want to get mobilized. MAJ H
|Experienced Member
Not bad advice. Control your destiny.
We had a captain who was IRR deploy with us for 18 months even though he had only a few months of obligation left on his comitment. He was about 40 Lbs overweight when he joined us, but after a few months the heat and MREs took care of that problem.
I recently transferred from a TPU to the IRR. Not because I wanted to, but the unit was terrible.
I got myself into a DIMA Slot. Drilling Individual Augmentee. You do all your Drills and AT at once. 24 days=48 Drills and 12-19 days AT. Plus 2-3 travel days. I have 30 years in and this is going to be my last hooah! It's one of the Army's best kept secrets. I wish I knew about the DIMA Slots when I got out of the Regular Army in 1991 after coming home from Desert Storm. As a TPU I have been mobilized 5 times since 2001. The DIMA Slots are all over the country and in Germany, Korea, Hawaii, japan and other places.
Good Luck!

Buyer beware, I had been a DIMA with SOCEUR in Germany since 2003 but was involuntarily transfered to a holding tank TPU (on the other coast from where I live) in 2007. This week, while I was in the middle of transferring out of that TPU I was involuntarily mobilized into an unrelated command (this after I had just completed a voluntary mob to Afghanistan in 2007).
To transfer back to the IRR or to another unit, you need another form not a 4187(I can't think of it off the top of my head).
Bascially it's a form between the gaining/loosing commander, and once approved is sent to the RRC for orders.
To brought back into the USAR from the IRR voluntary takes action on your part. Did you sign something?
|Quiet Professional
I was a DIMA and was transfered to a TPU last year without signing anything (and the orders read "voluntary").

I'm coming up on my 20 year letter at the end of the year and was thinking of flat out retiring or trasfering into the IRR, however, after seeing some of the postings here, DIMA sounds like something I might want to look at since I live on Kauai and my Unit is in Oahu - my drills are for love (and points). Anyone who has surpassed their 20 year letter and has some sound advise - I'm willing to listen.
|Quiet Professional
For DIMA slots, check PACOM or SOCPAC.
|New Member
Do you have any advice on the process of actually going about getting into a DIMA slot? I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you!

Do you have any advice on the process of getting into a DIMA slot? Thank you!
Just remember Army Regulation 135-91, chapter 5-5, defines the maximun involuntary travel distance the ARNGUS and USAR may enforce for IDT is 50 miles and will not exceed 1 1/2 hours of travel, one way, by car under average traffic, weather, and road conditions.
They cannot assign you to a unit that is farther away than that, unless you have signed a waiver. You probably need to update your address as they are using your old address to assign you to the TPU unit.
Hope it helps.
Just an FYI, this happend to me when my unit moved 500 miles away from where it was, only a 4187 was needed to transfer me into the IRR, then I found a home later closer to home.
|Quiet Professional
DIMA are becoming few and far between. Big Army didn't like paying for people to drill but not being able to reach out an "touch" them. IMA are still available but the DIMA slots are drying up. Look for an overseas command and be absolutely certain your orders read "DIMA" and not TPU. Last year after I got back from A-stan I tried to transfer to a DIMA with SOCCENT. After nine months of messing around (and resubmitting my paperwork twice), they finally cut me orders for a "TPU to TPU transfer!" When I told them I was supposed to go to a DIMA slot their response was for me to resubmit my entire transfer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in the IRR now.

NSF & Congress
NSF Appropriations for FY15 Awaits Congress' Return in September
August 25, 2014
The House and Senate are in recess until September 8, 2014. Final action on measures to fund NSF for the 2015 fiscal year (FY), which begins Oct. 1, 2014, await Congress' return. The full House passed H.R. 4660, the Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, on May 30, 2014. It would fund NSF at $7.4 billion, which is 1.9 percent above the President's request.
In the Senate, the Appropriations Committee approved its version of the CJS appropriations bill, S.2437, in June, but the full Senate has not voted on the measure. The Senate bill would fund NSF at $7.3 billion, 1.1 percent above the President's request.
For more information on these bills, see:
Previous Congressional Highlights.

Returning again to the theme of working-class people and their wrenching concerns, Songs for the Missing begins with the suspenseful pace of a thriller, following an Ohio community?s efforts to locate a young woman who has gone missing. It soon deepens into an affecting portrait of a family trying desperately to hold onto itself and the memory of a daughter whose return becomes increasingly unlikely. Stark and honest, this is an intimate account of what happens behind the headlines of a very American tragedy.

Many are calling the Bruno Mars/Red Hot Chili Peppers' Super Bowl Halftime Show one of the best in recent memory. That may be, in large part, because very little was left to chance during the live show…
Current Category: Bruno Mars
Tonight is the series premiere of The Lylas on WE TV, a reality series documenting the lives of sisters Jaime, Tiara, Tahiti and Presley Hernandez as they leave their home state of Hawaii for Los Angeles to pursue their dream of being a successful girl group. In addition to their talent and
good great looks, the sisters have one other thing working for them in that their brother Peter Hernandez has already had a little bit of success in the music industry — you might know him better as his stage name, Bruno Mars. Keep reading to find out all about the Hernandez sisters and their new show including photos, bios and a preview trailer!
Hopefully Bruno Mars doesn't have a feel like a lazy day on Feb. 2 — because he's scheduled to perform at the 2014 Super Bowl Halftime Show! The news is exciting to many fans, but others claim it will be a disappointing follow-up to Beyonce's performance at the last Super Bowl.
Bruno Mars covers Rolling Stone for the first time for their May issue, and while he's trying to look badass with his silk leopard-print shirt and cigarette, he's nothing but grateful for the success he's had. "I wouldn't trade it for anything," he says. "Because I feel like I can enjoy this so much."
Find out more about Bruno's years performing with his family, and what his real name is!
Bruno Mars was arrested in Las Vegas in September of 2010 for possession of 2.6 grams of cocaine. Bruno told police at the time that it was his first time using drugs, and following the arrest he took an oddly chipper mug shot. In a new interview, Bruno is opening up about his drug lie and why he looked so happy to be posing for a booking photo.
Futuristic retro R&B sensation Bruno Mars tweeted photographic proof that he's had his flawless, heart-melting swagger since he was least six with this childhood picture accompanied by the tweet, "Pimpin since 92." Plus, see a photo of the still swaggertastic Bruno sporting a huge afro from his high school yearbook. [***WARNING*** Coolness contamination risk!]

After some highly publicized problems with alcohol late last season, Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera's quit drinking.
"When you want something and you know what you're doing is bad, you say this thing is not right, this thing is not going to help me in my work," he told reporters at Tigers camp. "So first you've got to think about yourself. First you help yourself and then you can help everybody."
Cabrera made it clear that he doesn't consider himself an alcoholic.
"You guys write in the paper 'alcoholic,' that's not right," Cabrera said. "I don't know how to explain, but it's not an alcohol problem."
LenDale White quit drinking Patron during this past NFL offseason. He finished the year with career lows in carries, yards and touchdowns, enough to make you want to drink.
In all seriousness, best of luck to Cabrera.

that same $1 million for more intensive community supervision (enough to monitor 125 high-risk parolees in the community).
To consider the example, suppose that the average prisoner would have, if released, five times the criminal activity rate (lambda) of the average high-risk probationer and that doubling probation supervision would cut crime among high-risk probationers by 10 percent. If the lambda of the high-risk probationer is x, incarceration would prevent 40 (5x) crimes per year, or 200x crimes, while intensive probation supervision would prevent 0.1 (1,000x) crimes per year, or 100x crimes. Thus, with the stated assumptions, prison is more cost-effective as crime control than probation. But, if intensifying probation would cut crime among high-risk probationers by 30 percent, intensive probation would be a more cost-effective use of that $1 million. It should be noted that this analysis can be done without monetizing the costs of crime (the benefits of crime control).3
In contrast, if the decision facing a lawmaker is whether to add $1 million to the corrections budget, there is a different set of questions than those above. One would need to know how much crime that sum would prevent, the value of that reduction to potential victims, and the nonbudget costs and non-crime-reduction benefits associated with that expenditure.
In thinking about how to assess desistance programs, it is critically important to keep in mind the heterogeneity of the population of released offenders: from those who have committed one nonviolent offense to those who may have served more than one sentence in prison for multiple violent offenses. Programs that may work for one kind of parolee may not work or even be appropriate to try for other groups. As but one example, Piquero and Pogarsky (2002) has argued that the threat of sanctions would be most ineffective on the two extremes of the offending spectrum, that is, those who either have extremely high self-control and those with very low self-control. Moreover, even for appropriate programs, poor program implementation is often a barrier to both program effectiveness and to program evaluation.
It is useful to think of the two obstacles (heterogeneity and implementation) in terms of the "demand" and "supply" for rehabilitation. Limited demand, that is resistance to change among parolees, limits what even the

Long-Winded Debate
Editor's Note: This column, "LBWA" (Leadership By Wandering Around), is based on the premise that, in order to find out what's going on in the field, a parks-and-rec leader has to leave his or her desk and "wander around" the area of operations, talk to people, ask questions, and kick around ideas with the individuals in the thick of delivering services to the public. So the author will bring up issues and ask the leaders among the readership to share their knowledge and experiences.
No-smoking policies at parks have been the subject of this column a couple of times recently. Essentially, two distinct platforms representing two extreme views have been discussed: from the county government in an eastern U.S. city that decided it did not want to impose total smoking restrictions in outdoor venues, to a Canadian city in Ontario that imposed strict laws to limit distances people could smoke from any venue.
This topic received a great deal of reader response, so it's apparently a topic of interest. I received an e-mail from another parks-and-recreation professional who offered what seems an encouraging compromise.
That solution plays on people's consciences rather than on obedience to the law.
Ronald J. Woodhead, director of the Centre Region Parks and Recreation Department in Pennsylvania, explained a new program, begun earlier this year and called "Young Lungs At Play." Offered through the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Penn State Cooperative Extension, the program promotes tobacco-free parks and recreation areas.
It was enacted by the Centre Regional Recreation Authority, which oversees the operations of the parks and recreation areas, and provides municipal-park services and programs for the borough of State College and the townships of College, Harris, Ferguson and Patton.
Signs, sized 12 by 18 inches, will announce "Young Lungs At Play," which identifies areas as tobacco-free zones. The program is an advisory one–rather than a park ordinance with penalties–to discourage smoking and use of tobacco in these areas.
The signs will initially be placed at four regional sites for a trial period. After other hosting municipalities confirm their endorsement of the program, signs will be provided at the other 42 parks across the region.
Woodhead notes, "Residents had previously expressed support for a policy of this type, and the board felt that at least the playground areas in each municipal park should provide this awareness." He explains that it is a pilot program for now with the intent to work towards expanding it. Details of the initiative are available at www.crpr.org.
This is a smart way of approaching a controversial issue, which can be filled with hidden land mines and booby traps. There are so many emotional, political and even physiological aspects surrounding the issue that battling it head-on can be a time-consuming and arduous task that ultimately ends going nowhere.
Appealing To The Senses
I have never smoked; well, actually I did for a short while in boot camp when I found out that smokers received two or three "smoke breaks" a day while the rest of us had to shine boots and brass. But I soon discovered that staying in the top physical condition required by the Marine Corps and smoking were not simpatico, so I quit.
Plus, it just tasted nasty and made my clothes smell. I later used chewing tobacco in a fit of boredom in Korea, but soon quit when I accidently swallowed it as I excitedly watched Harriers take off vertically, hover in mid-air, and then land in a military exercise in which I was involved. Chewing tobacco and staring straight up in the air can lead to sickening results. Yeah, yuck!
But I digress. The point is that sometimes it might be better to take a less-direct route to accomplishing a mission.

City wants to serve alcohol at Sportsplex
By Kitty Conley firstname.lastname@example.com May 14, 2013 11:42AM
Updated: July 15, 2013 9:40PM
CROWN POINT — The city Parks Department is asking for approval of the City Council to be allowed to sell alcoholic beverages at the Sportsplex.
The sales would be restricted to the adult softball fields at the northwest end of the park land. City employees would be selling the beer and wine.
The city has recently applied to the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a permit to sell beer and wine to the public at the Sportsplex. By state law each individual person selling those beverages will have to have a State of Indiana Bartender's License. No one without a license can work behind that counter in the concession stand when alcoholic beverages are being sold.
Mayor David Uran explained that this would only be sold at this one venue and only during adult games.
The ordinance was passed on its first reading at the May 6 council meeting. The second vote has been scheduled for the June 3 meeting of the City Council.
The city has been approached by the adult lessees of its sports facility about being able to possess and consume alcoholic beverages on the city park property.
In further explanation, the city, according to Uran, wishes to remain competitive and continue to bring a positive income stream for the rental of its facilities.
There is a push to get this done now as the season is approaching and the fields are almost ready to be opened.
Councilwoman Laura Sauerman, R-4th, voted no. She does not see the need for the city to promote the use of alcoholic beverages with games.
She noted that there are plenty of places in the city where adults can get alcoholic beverages. She said she did not feel that the city should be competing with so many of the city's business.

The Low-Maintenance, Fragrant Evergreen
The Green Velvet Boxwood retains the upright, rounded shape you'd expect from a boxwood on it's own, with little to no pruning from you.
This evergreen shrub boasts deep green, glossy leaves all year, making it attractive in all four seasons.
In the spring, you'll enjoy its tiny white blossoms, which are actually quite fragrant (a rarity with boxwoods).
Green Velvet Boxwoods can be cultivated in full sun to partial shade, and in just about any type of soil or growing condition.
Maturing to a height of 4-6 ft., it is a popular choice for hedges, border plantings, and edging.
Professional landscapers love planting them in groups of three or five. It's an attractive way to add a foundation shrub to your garden or landscape.
It is very resistant to pests, diseases and smog... even deer leave it alone! This is the ideal boxwood for rural and urban areas alike.
Hardy from zones 4-9, it can be grown almost anywhere in the country with ease.
The Green Velvet Boxwood has quickly become one of our most popular evergreen shrubs. Be sure to order yours now while they're still available!
Due to the extreme winter season, all orders sent to the highlighted regions below will be delayed.
All orders are shipped the next business day unless your live in the highlighted regions above. If you do not live in these areas, but still want to delay your delivery, just call us at 800-399-9514.
We ship via FedEx. We've tested all the major shipping carriers, and FedEx is the quickest and most reliable.
You'll receive well-developed plants, not tiny quarts. These older plants bloom faster, give you more color, and require less maintenance. Don't be confused by companies that call little plants "big" or "jumbo".
Tree sizes listed are measured from the dirt line to the top (we do not include the roots in height measurements like many companies). Plus we will never chop your tree down in order to get it to fit into a smaller, cheaper box. Your trees are pruned throughout the year to encourage better form. This process may take us an extra year or so, but you get much better results.

Dumbbells NOT Included
Power Hooks For Dumbbells - Power Hooks stay with your dumbbells and hang onto any overhead barbell. This puts you in proper lifting position without having to lift the dumbbell from the floor nor having to drop them back onto the floor after the exercise. Power Hooks also provide a better way to handle and spot dumbbells.
Get fast results with Power Hooks! After only a few months users can increase 20 lbs. to 30 lbs. of weight to dumbbells. Another good reason to use Power Hooks is that it is physically impossible to clear or kick up the dumbbell weight that you can actually press. So if you are clearing or kicking up dumbbells to get in a pressing movement, you will never work out with the dumbbell weight you should be pressing. Working with heavy dumbbells using Power Hooks is the best way to increase mass and strength.

Uber Now Blocked All Over Germany
timothy posted about 4 months ago | from the nicht-so-ueber-alles dept.312
An anonymous reader writes Following the blocking of Uber in Berlin, DE, the district court of Frankfurt/Main has issued a restraining order for Uber services all over Germany (German original). The district court is alleging "uncompetitive behavior" (Unlauteres Wettbewerbsverhalten) on Uber's part, and has proclaimed that not following the restraining order will result in a fine of €250.000 or imprisonment. This ruling is related to the German "Personenbeförderungsgesetz" and is outlining that no legal entity (person, enterprise) is allowed to transfer passengers without having passed the relevant tests and having the appropriate insurance coverage.

Posted: Fri May 6 2011
Until 2007 when Spa London opened in Bethnal Green, there was no such thing as an affordable day spa in in the capital. A second branch has now opened at Swiss Cottage Leisure centre with a long, good-value treatment menu. Still, for a complete spa day package you're best sticking to this East End original where facilities include steam rooms, Turkish hamam and plunge pools.Treatments range from an Escape in the City Salt Scrub (a 25-minute cleansing that should remove all trace of London grime), to the spa's signature Gym & Tonic in which your body is cleansed, body brushed and exfoliated, before being treated to an aromatherapy massage and warm marine mask. Indulgence without the price-tag.

In this article I will describe how to monitor your server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) without much configuration, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected. The combination of the two gives you full monitoring: graphics that lets you recognize current or upcoming problems (like "We need a bigger server soon, our load average is increasing rapidly."), and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

I like free, so I tackle most of my blog tweaks using a very scientific method of googling the problem until my eyeballs fall out.
But let's face it, sometimes you run into an issue with your site and it would just be nice to let someone else fix it for you, right?
Pay per tweak. I like it.
A year ago I got a nice email from a guy named Ned who started a company that will make tweaks to your blog or website for a flat fee. In other words, you pay per tweak.
I like this because I'm a fan of dipping my toes into situations. This gives me the ability to test the waters without having to commit to an ongoing relationship. If it doesn't work out, I'm only out a few tens of dollars instead of a few hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Before I tell you about the company, I want to make sure I tell you that I went through the process of using the service just like any other customer would. Despite the kind email from Ned, I did not get a special deal. I did not get special treatment. I paid regular price. Having said that, after I paid for my tweaks, I did grab my referral link (included in this post) which gives you and me a discount: $10 off your first tweak and $10 off my next one. It's a win-win.
The company is called Tweaky.com and here's how it worked for me.
A few weeks ago I had this idea that I wanted to make my contact page shorter by hiding the answers to the questions. (You can see what I mean here. Click on any of the questions and watch the answer magically appear. Click again and watch it disappear.) Of course, because I don't like to use plugins, I didn't want to use a plugin. I wanted it hard-coded.
Naturally, I googled. I found some tutorials on the subject and followed one of them. But I did something wrong in the process and it didn't work on the first try. Then I got frustrated because I just didn't have the time or patience to deal. And then I remembered Tweaky.com and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to give it a whirl.
How it works
- Sign up and fill out a simple project form. You'll be assigned a project manager who makes initial contact.
- Find out the cost & pay. At this point, you're told how many tweaks your project will entail. This is good to know because even if it seems like a pretty straightforward tweak to you, it may get broken down into smaller chunks ("tweaks"). In my case, my project included 2 tweaks: writing the jQuery logic and adding a shortcode. In other words, I paid $78 for this project.
- Provide any additional needed info. Also at this point, my project manager asked for the login info to my site. I made a new guest user profile in WordPress (Dashboard –> Users –> Add New) with Administrator rights so I could delete it once the project was done. He also needed my FTP login info. You can change your password here too, after the project is completed. This is just to ensure your login info isn't floating around.
- Meet your developer. Once you and your project manager are on the same page, he/she assigns a developer to your project. The developer contacted me right away notifying me that he'd get started immediately. He also threw in his office hours which I thought was a nice touch since it was clear we weren't in the same time zone.
And then I just did my thing until I got an email telling me it was done. In my case, it took less than a day. Easy peasy. It was worth not having to watch my eyeballs fall out from googling.
Granted, my experience is limited, but I do think Ned has a good idea here. I feel I can recommend them since I would definitely use them again.
If you'd like to give them a try, click here to get $10 off your first tweak.
Anyone else have experience with Tweaky.com?

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

* China's Hu met the US House leadership and they question him for about
an hour. The republicans emphasized IPRs, trade restrictions and
Koreas, while the Dems emphasized Human Rights. Apparently yuan issues
were not discussed. Hu also gave a speech to the US-China Business
council. HE emphasized the ability to work otgether on econ and
regional issues, and while warning the US over Taiwan and TIbet, said
China was not an expanionist power and was not looking for an Arms
* Hariri gave a speech where he basically backed down saying that while
he would be his side's nomination for PM if he didnt end up being PM
that was ok as long as things stayed peaceful. He did blame the
failure of the SSA deal on domestic issues (aka Hezz), saying he had
been committted and they could still negotiate. Meanwhile, following a
similar OS report, our insight said Assad had told PSP Jumblatt (on
the fence) that he needs to vote opposition or his druze supporters
will get fucked up. Qatar Emir Al-Thani met with Assad in Syria where
Leb Prez Sleiman might also be. And finally the US Ambo showed up and
gave his credentials to the FM when normally you do that to the Prez.
Oh and the Italian foreign intel chief is in Lebanon....
* After DPRK offered highlevel talks on Yeonpyeoing and CheonAn, the
South accepted in principle but said they should have lower level
talks first to see how serious the North Koreans were and also
proposed talks on the denuclearization issue which the DPRK'ers had
left out. The US said they were encouraged but said they still needed
to see progress on DeNuking before 6 party talks could take place
- Yemeni opposition in the south will meet saturday to discuss reform
offers from the govt that protestors today said were not enough
- Bela PM met with Putin in Russia. He said he had told his deputies to
work on the oil dispute with the Russians. They signed a nuclear
cooperation deal. Putin said there would be a few billion in subsdies in
oil prices for Bela but they need to talk some more
- US said its looking forward to Iran talks but doesnt see much coming
- Bib i said Israel would dis-integrate itself from Gaza energy infra
- Cote's Outarra's PM Soro managed to get out of the hotel and go on a
regional tour to a few countries
- Japan's Econ Minister said that the country had hit a critical point
on state debt
Russian Duma committee recommends adding two statements to START
ratification - bbcmon
* The State Duma Committee for International Affairs took a decision on
Thursday [20 January] to recommend that the chamber should adopt the
law on the ratification of the treaty on strategic offensive weapons
in the third and final reading on 25 January, with two accompanying
statements, head of the committee Konstantin Kosachev has told
journalists. He explained that one of the statements is addressed to
the US side, and the other, to the Russian authorities. "The document
addressed to the US side is entitled 'On the position of the State
Duma on the issue of reduction and limitation of strategic offensive
arms' and is six-and-a-half pages long. He noted that the key
provision of the document was that "the unilateral understanding by
the USA of certain provisions of the treaty does not alter the legal
obligations of the US side, nor impose any additional obligations on
the Russian Federation". Kosachev said that the second draft statement
by the State Duma was three-and-a-half pages long and was entitled "On
maintaining the combat readiness and development of the strategic
armed forces of the Russian Federation, the nuclear arms complex, and
the organizations of the defence-industrial complex working in this
sphere". "This document, which is addressed to our country's
leadership, contains four propositions: calls for an increase in the
consistent sustention of production [as received] of this type of
weapons; for ensuring professional training of cadre; for state
support for research and development work in this area, and for the
development of our own missile defence, including missile attack early
warning," Kosachev explained.
* Lebanese troops increased security around the prime minister's office
and other government buildings and banks on Jan. 20 because of
concerns about "movements on the ground by some parties," AP reported,
citing an unnamed senior security official. Cement barriers were
placed around the government house in Beirut, and tanks were deployed
in many areas of the city.
* Lebanese parliamentarian Walid Jumblat, leader of the Progressive
Socialist Party (PSP), has informed officials in caretaker Prime
Minister Saad al-Hariri's Mustaqbal Movement that insisting on
al-Hariri as permanent prime minister will have "catastrophic
consequences," Naharnet reported Jan. 20. Jumblat said he is being
pressured to name former Prime Minister Omar Karami as the new prime
minister and that failure to do so would put Jumblat, the PSP and
Lebanon's Druze community at risk. He said he had lost his ability to
maintain the middle ground in the proceedings and that he has told all
PSP lawmakers to name Karami.
* A Saudi-Syrian initiative to resolve Lebanon's political crisis failed
because Lebanon would not honor its commitments, Lebanese Future bloc
parliamentarian Ahmad Fatfat told Asharq Al-Awsat, NOW Lebanon
reported Jan. 20. Riyadh will not abandon Beirut to its fate, Fatfat
added. Lebanese Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Marwan Zein told Al-Watan
newspaper that the joint initiative "was not met with a Lebanese
response," proving that a solution must come from Lebanon and with
Saudi-Syrian backing.
* Lebanese President Michel Suleiman may visit Damascus soon, according
to An-Nahar newspaper, NOW Lebanon reported Jan. 20. Qatari Emir
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani may also be in Syria, the report
said. On Jan. 19, Suleiman met with U.S. Ambassador Maura Connelly,
only days after Lebanese Foreign Minister Ali Shami accused Connelly
of meddling in Lebanon's affairs.
* Saudi King Abdullah will soon meet with Syrian President Bashar al
Assad in Morocco, according to Lebanon First party lawmaker Assem
Aaraji, Now Lebanon reported Jan. 20. Aaraji did not give a specific
date, but said the blocking of Saudi-Syrian efforts to resolve the
political crisis in the country demonstrates that the dispute is not
about the Special Tribunal in Lebanon but the country's government and
the Taif Accord national reconciliation agreement. Aaraji added the
solution in Lebanon is through dialogue and consensus.
Iran: Soltaniyeh in Russia - bbcmon
* Russia is Iran's preferred choice for winning a future tender to build
a new nuclear power plant in the country, Iranian envoy to the
International Atomic Energy Agency Ali Asghar Soltanieh said Jan. 20,
Interfax reported. Iran trusts Russia more than it trusts any other
country, Soltaniyeh added.
* Iran's permanent representative at the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Ali Soltanieh, said his country is ready to discuss a nuclear
fuel exchange with the Vienna Group, Interfax reported Jan. 20.
Soltanieh said the country will provide 1,200 kilograms of
low-enriched uranium for 120 kilograms of 20 percent-enriched uranium
in return.
* Iran will continue enriching uranium at its Qom reserve facility if it
is targeted in a military strike, Iranian permanent representative to
the International Atomic Energy Agency Ali Asghar Soltanieh said at a
press conference in Moscow, Interfax reported Jan. 20. Iran's
enrichment process will not be stopped by U.N. Security Council
sanctions, viruses or threats, Soltanieh said. Iran is not developing
a nuclear weapon for practical and religious reasons, Soltanieh added.
Lavrov in Turkey:
* Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart,
Ahmet Davutoglu, signed a strategic cooperation protocol in Istanbul
in an effort to enhance bilateral relations, Xinhua reported Jan. 20.
The ministers have yet to reveal any details of the protocol. Lavrov
had arrived in Turkey on Jan. 19 to attend the Turkish-Russian Joint
Strategic Planning Group, which conducts preparatory work ahead of the
High-Level Cooperation Council scheduled to take place in Moscow in
* Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said a breakthrough in the Jan.
21 talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N.
Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) is unlikely, saying one meeting
is not enough to solve all the issues and it would be good to agree on
a program for further work, Interfax reported Jan. 20. Speaking at a
news conference in Istanbul, Turkey, Lavrov said an agreement on
specific topics of discussion is important, adding talks should
address the lifting of sanctions against Iran as well as the Iranian
nuclear program. Lavrov reiterated Russia's negative stance on
unilateral sanctions against Iran, adding the International Atomic
Energy Agency's fuel-exchange proposals to Iran remain valid.
Tunisian army fires at protesters in Tunis - bbcmon - didn't find another
report to confirm this one
* The Tunisian army has fired at demonstrators protesting near the
former ruling Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD) in Tunis, the
Iranian Arabic-language TV Al-Alam reported at 1511 gmt on 20 January.

See through anyone, anywhere with battery-powered X-ray machines
X-rays are a powerful tool in the medical arsenal. They can be used for everything from confirming broken bones to helping diagnose certain cancers. A big downside is that they're not very mobile, but a new X-ray machine is about to change all that — not only are they portable, they are battery powered.
The new X-ray from Japanese company Mikasa weighs in at a mere 15 pounds, including the battery pack that supplies up to 300 uses per charge.
The machine features an easy-to-read LED display and can transmit the X-ray images via Wi-Fi to a laptop for review.
All of these features create an X-ray that can change medicine. Imagine this new X-ray being able to be a part of triage in the field during emergency situations or natural disasters. Paramedics and first responders could easily carry this as part of their equipment.
The portable X-ray could also assist medical professionals working in remote village clinics or other isolated areas such as oil rigs and research stations. In addition to addressing pressing emergency situations in these areas, it could help with longer-term preventative care.
We could also see the military being interested in it for battlefield medicine.
The company behind the new X-ray reports it has received regulatory approval in Japan and has already started shipping overseas for just over $22,000 USD. No word on whether the device has been approved for use in the States, but given the clear value of a portable X-ray it's likely only a matter of time.

Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717)
Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium 1726 Edition (ORIGINAL COLOR)
Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium 1771 Edition
Plate Listing Image Gallery
The image gallery for the 1726 edition is current. We are currently updating the images for the 1771 edition. Please refer to the plate listing and contact the gallery for images.
In June of 1699, the artist-naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian departed from Amsterdam, along with her daughter Dorothea Maria, on a arduous journey to the Dutch colony of Surinam on the northeastern coast of South America. There she would observe the insect world and the plants that inextricably connected to their life process. In 1705, two small editions were published, with 60 engraved plates, in Latin and Dutch. Financial success finally came, but too late. On the day Maria died, Tsar Peter the Great concluded a transaction with her to purchase a two-volume collection of unbound paintings, as well as her journal of studies, Studienbuch.
In all, three editions of Merian's Metamorphosis were published. The later two include 12 additional plates. Examples of Metamorphosis in good condition with original color are extremely rare.
Prices range from $900-$18,000

Legends of the Valley
We just returned from California where we did a bunch of great interviews with Yosemite climbing legends like Yvon Chouinard, Alan Steck Jim Bridwell, John Long, Mike Graham and many others. These are part of the raw material for an epic feature documentary film we are making about the hardman counterculture of Yosemite climbing history. Picture 'Dogtown and Z-Boys' meets 'Touching the Void'. The film will cover three periods: The Golden Age, the Stonemasters, and the current day valley climbing scene. We have been working on it for over a year and it will likely take at least another, as we take big bites out of it in between other more immediate projects. But the thing is really coming together, and we are really psyched about it. Working title: "Valley Uprising." Photos by Jeffrey Cunningham, who is the cinematographer on the project.
