Speed-camera tickets coming in September
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall email@example.com June 22, 2013 10:33AM
Chicago aldermen voted 33-14 Wednesay to approve speed cameras near parks and schools. | BRIAN JACKSON~SUN-TIMES
Updated: July 24, 2013 6:53AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's speed cameras will be installed in August near 50 Chicago schools and parks — and start churning out $35 and $100 tickets in September, City Hall said Friday after finalizing a contract with an Arizona operator.
"We should have a signed contract any day, and then we'll be off to the races," said Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein.
Emanuel was initially counting on $30 million in speed camera fines to bankroll children's programs in his 2013 budget.
But the five-year, $67 million contract with American Traffic Solutions took more than four months to negotiate, forcing the city to cut that revenue estimate in half.
It assumes that the Chicago Department of Transportation will immediately launch an outreach campaign — featuring ads on CTA buses and trains and videos posted on CDOT's website and Twitter feed — to warn and educate motorists before speed cameras are installed in August, in weekly groups of six.
There will be two tiers of warnings to motorists — including an unlimited number during the first 30 days after cameras are installed and one more-per-driver after the break-in period is over.
Ticketing will begin in September. Speeders face $35 fines for going between 6 and 10 miles-per-hour over the speed limit near schools and parks and $100 for going 11 mph too fast.
"There's a whole plan mapped out…that specifies milestones that we're gonna hit. But, it's not around financials. It's around operationally what we need to do to get cameras on the ground, issue warnings — all of the things that we committed to," Klein said.
To generate $15 million, speed cameras would have to churn out 150,000 of the $100 tickets, 428,571 of the $35 tickets or some combination of the two.
That would only fan the flames for aldermen who have called the mayor's claims about protecting children a ruse to raise millions.
Mayoral spokesman Bill McCaffrey said the city has a "draft list" of the first 50 of 300 potential speed camera locations that's based on: "all vehicle crashes; serious and fatal crashes; bicycle and pedestrian crashes; speed-related crashes, and crashes involving children."
But he refused to reveal the locations. Nor would he say when CDOT would ramp up to the City Council-imposed limit of 300 speed cameras citywide.
McCaffrey said the problem about whether cameras can capture high-definition images that show whether children are "visibly present" would be resolved by having "three different people determine if a child is present." Motorists also will have the opportunity to challenge their violations before administrative hearing officers.
"If there is a question as to whether an individual captured on camera is a child, then we will not enforce the lower speed limit. That is the directive to city staff and vendors, who will have different people reviewing violations. We will not issue a ticket based on the lower school speed zone speed limit unless there is no question that a child was present and identifiable on film," McCaffrey wrote in an email.
The city will be divided into six regions, with each having "no fewer than" 10 percent of the citywide total.
The five-year contract — with six years of renewal options — calls for American Traffic Solutions to purchase and retain ownership of speed cameras and replace them if traffic accidents take the equipment out of service. No "in-ground infrastructure" will be required.
One camera can enforce the speed limit in both directions. If the street is wide or has a landscaped median, a second camera may be required.
To win approval from a reluctant City Council, the mayor agreed to cap the number of locations at 300 and reduced the lesser fine from $50-to-$35. Emanuel also agreed to two-tiers of warnings and to roll back the hours cameras would operate around schools from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
ATS is known around the country for slapping embarrassing video of motorists' transgressions on YouTube to help alert people to the dangers of speeding and red-light running.
The Emanuel administration has insisted that the YouTube feature would not be used in Chicago.
Michael Alvarez, an elected member of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, is a registered lobbyist for American Traffic Solutions, which beat out Xerox State & Local Solutions for the Chicago contract. Alvarez contributed $10,000 to Emanuel.
Last month, Inspector General Joe Ferguson complained about a lack of record-keeping, accountability and oversight in the red-light camera program and said there was no evidence to substantiate the city's claim the cameras have either reduced accidents or are installed at the most dangerous intersections.
At the time, Ferguson warned, "The very same concerns… apply equally to speed cameras…If you don't keep records and you don't measure your program, the public doesn't have a basis for trusting your claims about the program."
On Friday, McCaffrey noted that CDOT will be posting quarterly reports that include statistics on speeding, accidents and on the number of tickets and fines in each zone.
American Traffic Solutions has had its share of controversy.
In December, ATS reached a settlement that's expected to give as much as $4.2 million in partial refunds — $8.50-per-plaintiff — to roughly 500,000 red-light runners in 18 New Jersey towns.
Complaints included claims that the amber light was not long enough and did not give motorists sufficient time to clear the intersection.
"It had nothing to do with the technology," company spokesman Charles Territo told the Chicago Sun-Times in February.
In 2011, both Los Angeles and Houston voted to shut down red-light camera programs run by American Traffic Solutions.

Once known as the California Riviera, the Salton Sea is now called one of America's worst ecological disasters: a fetid, stagnant, salty lake, coughing up dead fish and birds by the thousands.
Yet a few hardy eccentrics hang on to hope, including a roadside nudist waving at passing European tourists, a man building a religious mountain out of mud and paint, beer-loving Hungarian Revolutionary Hunky Daddy, and the real-estate Ronald McDonald known simply as The Landman. Through their perceptions and misperceptions, the strange history and unexpected beauty of the Salton Sea is revealed.

There are no known cougar populations in Illinois.
While the IDNR does investigate several alleged cougar sightings each year, most if not all turn out to be a case of mistaken identity. The animals most often mistaken for cougars are coyotes, bobcats, or large domestic dogs or cats.
Please consider donating to the Cougar Fund by visiting our Donate page, or by shopping in our Store. Thank you.
Actual cougar sightings in Illinois are few and far between. The last cougar found in Illinois was in April of 2009 in the Chicago neighborhood of Roscoe Village. The cougar was killed by police officers and widely believed to have come from outside the state. Perviously, the last sighting had was in December of 2004 in Mercer County. It was found already dead, apparently shot with an arrow.
Another cougar was found dead after it was hit by a train in Randolph County in July of 2000. Prior to 2000, the last verified record of a cougar in Illinois was from Alexander County in 1862.
There are currently no cougar-related advocacy activities in this state.

- If you want to get email updates of thread replies, click 'reply' then select the check box 'subscribe and receive email notification of new replies'.
- To attend the next event Feb 2nd you will have to RSVP on the thread. See the KGB Events forum.
The KGB Con is almost here!
You should register for the site to arrange your trades, sell your games or buy games from other people coming to the con.
There are also some people looking for specific games to play if you want to take a look and book something.

Results Posted: Shortly after want lists are due.
The KGB (Kitchener Gathering of Boardgamers) was founded in January 2009 by a small group of gamers who wanted to plan some larger game days and expand our gamer friends.
Over the years our membership has grown to over 200 gamers and we have found there is now a bigger demand for gaming events in the area.
So we have decided to start hosting mini conventions, KGB Con's, where 100-200 people can come for board gaming, war gaming and the like. The inaugural KGB Con will be held on May 5th, 2012. One day we hope to grow again and turn these into full scale conventions.
Due to our growth we have also decided to change our website from Meetup and provide better forums where people can talk games, plan matches, organize trades and so on. In the future, capabilities will be added into the forum where you will be able to R.S.V.P to the smaller space-limited events as well. So for now, please register for the forums and pass the word about the upcoming KGB Con!

I once sat down with this friend and talked with her about the way she acted and told her it was how she says things. It was always negative, and when it was positive it was always about her. She is so self centered she didn't even see that I had become depressed. Everybody else did but not her.
I've been known to be the lively funny one. She invited me to a party of one of her friends that I've never met, I went because I said I would. I was having a good day, when dealing with depression it comes and goes. I was making polite conversation and doing my best to be somewhat chipper. At the end of the party she came up to me and told me "Be more animated next time" I was totally and completely floored. I had been trying so hard and she didn't even know it.
And when this friend dosen't get her way she throws a tantrum like a child and then everybody in the group pays attention to her. I am so sick of it. she is over 20 years old!

Fakurazi, Sharida and Ithnin, Hairuszah and U, Nanthini (2008) Moringa oleifera Lam prevents acetaminophen induced liver injury through restoration of glutathione level. Food and Chemical Toxicology, 46 (8). pp. 2611-2615. ISSN 0278-6915 & ESSN: 1873-6351

Initiation of acetaminophen (APAP) toxicities is believed to be promoted by oxidative stress during the event of overdosage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective action of Moringa oleifera Lam (MO), an Asian plant of high medicinal value, against a single high dose of APAP. Groups of five male Sprague–Dawley rats were pre-administered with MO (200 and 800 mg/kg) prior to a single dose of APAP (3 g/kg body weight; p.o). Silymarin was used as an established hepatoprotective drug against APAP induced liver injury. The hepatoprotective activity of MO extract was observed following significant histopathological analysis and reduction of the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in groups pretreated with MO compared to those treated with APAP alone. Meanwhile, the level of glutathione (GSH) was found to be restored in MO-treated animals compared to the groups treated with APAP alone. These observations were comparable to the group pretreated with silymarin prior to APAP administration. Group that was treated with APAP alone exhibited high level of transaminases and ALP activities besides reduction in the GSH level. The histological hepatocellular deterioration was also evidenced. The results from the present study suggested that the leaves of MO can prevent hepatic injuries from APAP induced through preventing the decline of glutathione level.

Okay so here's the deal with this nail polish. It is a beautiful true red color, every time that I look at my nails when I am wearing Dragon I think of the holiday Mercedes Benz Commercials where Santa is driving a red mercedes...not sure why this color reminds me of that commercial, but it does. Anyways...
The formula is great to work with, it is thick, non-streaky, and goes on opaque in one coat. It also dries pretty fast, especially for a red polish. You definitely need to wear a top coat and even then this polish chips within 2 days (or at least for me)
Overall the formula is great to work with, the wear is mediocre and the color is not terribly unique, but honestly if you can afford the steep price tag or just want to splurge I would say that it is worth it.

This is a perfect, silent, warm, creme red that can be worn with anything anywhere. It's slightly orange based, but it's definitely not orange looking on the nail. The hint of orange just makes the base warm enough to prevent the polish from looking too dramatic or vampy as blue based reds can sometimes do. It's a close match to Dior's #999, but Dragon is slightly more "flat" which in my book is a good thing for everyday wear. Application and wear is great. I think it's one of the very best everyday reds at all.

on my 2nd bottle.. best red for me since it is the perfect deep red but it is neutral and vampy. Wears like a rock for me with Seche vite on top.
love it.
I have succumbed to Chanel once again. This is a beautiful perfect true red. Just one coat is smooth and opaque. Some have described it as a warm red but I would say neutral. I use Lippmann's Addicted to Speed as topcoat. Lippmann's My Old Flame is a dupe for this and was my go to red. I think Dragon is a bit less prone to chipping. Also, I usually need two coats of My Old Flame.

I have ALWAYS wanted to wear red nails, but could never find a particular shade that paired well with my skin tone [NW25, strong pink undertones]. But this RED, is gorgeous and looks amazing on my hands! It is not a cheesy, holiday color, but is one that is sophisticated and classy. It is wearable all year round. Would I buy this again? YES!
Don't discontinue this one CHANEL, please!

Such a beautiful color! The perfect cherry red. It chips easy if no top coat is worn, but overall is good quality. The brush is the best I have ever used!
i love the colour. but in terms of quality honestly in commprisson with dior 999 royalty red -its not the best. i really love the beautifull chanel-bottles and such. but dont think that the price is a garantee for quality. the brush is thin some like that better. one coat is quite opaque. in my area opi polish costs almost as much as chanel -but i choose the opi in most cases! -because that does not chip as much as chanel. (but dont let urselfe get talked out. it is a beautifull product that will last very long (because u might get back to ur chip-free essie reds) -nevertheless i wonder why i was thinking about getting the colour fire -which is pretty much the same shade.. -but i dont use base and top-coats. maybe i just need the expensive chanel base-and top coats to make it last for days????
I love this polish, it was the first Chanel item I purchased, along with their Dragon Lipstick. They are the same opaque, deep red shade...sexy but elegant too :)
It is easy to apply which is great as I have quite shakey hands. One coat looks lovely, but two coats gives optimum coverage and shine.
It does chip after a few days, but if you apply a base and top coat the wear improves greatly.
Another great thing about this Chanel polish is that it dries quite quickly. It conditions my nails too!
I doubt I will ever run out of it as I really don't wear polish very often, but I would repurchase if I ever needed to.

I have my own bottle of Dragon for a long time. My dad give it to me when I graduate from my uni. And I loved it immediately. The color is the same as sole of my Louboutin's pumps. It looks great on my tips and toes. It's very classic feminine and ah, soooo pretty. I think I should do a little backup because this color will be in vogue for years.
Conisistency is thick and opacity is great (one coat is good enough but I always use two thin coats of any polish).

This shade is nothing special at all. A simple red nail varnish that chips terribly. Extremely expensive and nothing to justify it. I´ll never buy it again.

Action Man Steve MacManus was paid £10 a time by IPC to perform death defying stunts in response to readers' requests. Unfortunately, Steve MacManus didn't stay with Action for very long, even though he remained the public face of the comic until its demise in 1977. This means that there weren't really that many stunts performed. Although appearances were regular in the early issues, they soon dried up after Steve moved on to 2000AD, with the exception of a single outing that was held back and published at a later date. Below are the twelve stunts that Action Man undertook, mainly at circuses, with El Hakim.
14th February – Fire breathing at a circus with El Hakim
21st February – Grappling with a Boa Constrictor at Chessington Zoo
28th February – Karate lessonswith the Karate King in Chiswick
6th March – Running an Army assault course with the Royal Greenjackets
13th March – Firefighter training with the London Fire Brigade, up a 100 foot ladder
20th March – Laying on a bed of nails at a circus with El Hakim
27th March – Learning to drive a London Transport double-decker bus on a skid pan
10th April – Descending into the London sewerage system
17th April – Stilt walking at a circus with El Hakim
1st May – Hot air ballooning at 2,000 feet
8th May – Riding a motorbike from London to Brighton and back at high speed
14th August – Dry skiing at Alexandra Palace
An Action Man Diary 1977, detailing all but the last of the stunts performed in 1976, appeared in the Action Annual 1977. Below are the original Action Man features, and the pages from the annual.

DENVER (AP) - A federal appeals court ruled Friday that Oklahoma must allow gay couples to wed, marking the second time it has found the U.S. Constitution protects same-sex marriage.
The decision from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a ruling that struck down Oklahoma's gay marriage ban. But the Denver-based court immediately put its decision on hold pending an appeal, meaning same-sex couples won't be allowed to marry in Oklahoma for now.
The 2-1 ruling comes after the same three-judge panel ruled in June that Utah's ban on same-sex marriage violates the Constitution. It was the first time an appellate court determined that last year's U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act meant states couldn't deny gays the ability to wed. That ruling also is on hold, and Utah's attorney general has said he plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The lawsuit challenging Oklahoma's ban was filed against the Tulsa County clerk, whose attorneys were still considering their options Friday afternoon. But they noted the panel's dissenting judge argued that changing the definition of marriage should belong to Oklahoma residents, not a federal court.
"Every child deserves a mom and a dad, and the people of Oklahoma confirmed that at the ballot box when they approved a constitutional amendment that affirmed marriage as a man-woman union," said Byron Babione, senior attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, which is defending the county clerk.
Proponents of gay marriage quickly planned rallies Friday in Oklahoma City and Tulsa to celebrate the ruling.
"We're excited that Oklahoma will be counted among the places where all of its citizens are treated equally," said Toby Jenkins, executive director of Oklahomans for Equality.
In its 46-page ruling Friday, the judges dealt less with the constitutionality of same-sex marriages and instead focused more on arcane legal matters of whether the Oklahoma couples sued the correct government officials.
However, Justice Carlos Lucero reiterated that the court has already found that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry that cannot be breached by the state's concern with keeping the focus of marriage on the procreative potential of man-woman unions. He wrote that Oklahoma's ban, "denies a fundamental right to all same-sex couples who seek to marry or to have their marriages recognized regardless of their child-rearing ambitions."
Justice Jerome A. Holmes concurred but stressed in his own opinion that the court did not find that voters exhibited legal animus, or dislike, toward gay individuals when they outlawed same-sex marriage in 2004. Justice Paul Kelly Jr. dissented.
The two decisions give increased momentum to a legal cause that has compiled an impressive string of lower court victories. More than 20 courts have issued rulings siding with gay marriage advocates since the Supreme Court's DOMA ruling in June 2013. The rulings have come in 17 states, with Florida being the latest.
Two of the most striking of those decisions were in conservative Utah and Oklahoma, which saw their voter-approved gay marriage bans struck down in December and January, respectively. In Utah, more than 1,000 same-sex couples married before the Supreme Court issued a stay.
It's unclear whether the two cases will be the first to reach the Supreme Court. The high court could choose from cases moving through five other federal appellate courts, and it won't consider a case until next year at the earliest.
Attorneys representing Utah and Oklahoma argued voters have the right to define marriage in their states, and unions between a man and woman are best for children.
Gay rights lawyers countered that voters cannot define marriage in a way that deprives gay people of their fundamental rights, and say there is no proof that gay couples make inferior parents.
Ten years ago, nearly a dozen states outlawed gay marriage. Now same-sex marriage is legal in 19 states and the District of Columbia, and recent polls show a majority of Americans support it.

Disaster recovery not just for natural disasters
July 13th, 2008 by noam, Filed under: Commentary, Corporate Security, Linux, Microsoft
There is always a lot of talk about disaster recovery being important against, flood, weather, power failures, etc. But very little talk on disaster recovery due to security events.
When a security event happens, it is a disaster. It can mean downtime to your web site, or that your records were deleted or modified, and sometimes the biggest disaster is the bad PR day.
Typical disaster plans talk about a short failover time, but neglect to take into account what happens if one server was compromised. In this case, how will the short failover time affect it – will the corrupt or modified data propagate to the failover server causing two failed sites instead of one?
With recent break-ins reaching the news, where extremist groups hacking into any site they can gain access to, I see too often the web site show a banner, just after the break in, saying that it will be back in a few days. I'm left wondering if when they're back, will they still suffer from the same security hole (most likely an SQL injection) that allowed the attackers in the first place? What about hidden malware – was the server reinstalled from scratch? And what backup was used to restore – the one with the attacker's backdoor? I think we all know the answers…

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
The U.S. government's lock on space technology is about to be shifted from the military's "Munitions List" to the more porous "Commerce Control List."
This comes as we prepared to enter the great Commercial Space Age as we saw SpaceX's rise, and its scheduled launch May 22. That's when SpaceX launches the Dragon spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station.
The major flight-ready review zipped through channels at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. I'm certainly ready. I've listened to SpaceX test the rockets at McGregor for quite some time. You first confuse the sound and vibration for thunder, then bombs at the nearby Fort Hood range, and finally, as an earth shaking roar continues in a sustained blast a bit different from a nearby tornado. You realize it's SpaceX testing a rocket engine again. I welcome the sound for it's evidence that we're gearing up for real space and science discovery, finally, again.
But not so fast. There are concerns that we may give our closely guarded, moldering crown jewels to other economies. The government's recommendation comes from its number one finding that "Compared to the United States, other nations have fewer controls on commercial space and space-related items."
Obviously. I don't like the logic, or lack of logic, to that finding. The United States has more invested and more development of commercial space than other countries.
Disturbingly, it reminds me of Steve Jobs raid on Xerox in 1979 in Palo Alto Research Center in California. He took the best ideas of Xerox, which also had sat untapped and unused in its West Coast research facility, with that befuddled company's blessing. Due to that raid, Apple made major leaps with the mouse, networking and friendly virtual file interfaces that became what we remember and still know as the world's main computing platform.
However, perhaps moving this to the private sector is best. The paralysis towards space exploration for the last forty years after the moon landing, even though we put a shuttle up for awhile, and a space station, and other small projects, is discouraging.
No, it's depressing. It's not good to slow and thwart the scientific method. It's not good to slow technological development. State and federal leaders treat science as if it is was a competing religious belief with a state religion. Thus, the space program probably is better off in the commercial world which has to react with both technological and economic realities with the evolutionary force of the profit incentive.
However, I am concerned that most communication satellites are being moved from the United States Munitions List to the Commerce Control List with the statement that this can be done without harm to national security.
Lest you forget recent events with the Secret Service in Cartagena's Hotel El Caribe, lest you so quickly forget Wikileaks, lest you have forgotten the sale two years ago of classified documents and access to the Pentagon's most sensitive computer networks by a low-level Navy clerk with top-secret clearance to Afghan war intelligence, consider this your reminder.
Information always flows out of the government's cache of secrets. It's a matter of how fast and easy the flow becomes. I suspect the commercial side has more trickles to patch than the military. It makes economic sense for the government to invest in space and keep tight reins. However, the government has squandered its time and opportunity. Hopefully, commercial interests friendly to the U.S. economy will pick up the dropped ball and play. It may be the Commercial Space Age will be shortlived. As some astronomers like Neil deGrasse Tyson predict, this era will last until some perceived threat, real or imagined, from China's space program.
Then we'll enter the next Great Space Race.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Amaani Lovely Hotel needs improving Great Location for traveling into central Lisbon and also the airport as bus stops very close by. Metro is very near too. Staff friendly but not as helpful as i have experienced at other SPG hotels worldwide. I was not very impressed with housekeeping as i had to call them three time to change my feather pillow to non-feather (something on my SPG profile). Also for some odd reason every time the room was cleaned we had less and less glasses. So on the last morning we only had ONE paper cup to drink coffee and down to 2 extremely small water glasses in the bathroom. Our TV was not showing many channels so called to have it checked out and no-one showed until a follow-up call made the next day and someone arrived and said he would fix it. He did no such thing. I also would like anyone staying here that there are only a handful of English channels and the movie rental was Euros18. A bit high i think, in the US/Canada you expect to pay around $10-$12. Another thing that really doesn't make sense that you have to pay Euros 12 to have a quick swim. So if there are 2 of you it does add up on a daily basis. All we wanted was to have a 20min swim to start the day. I loved the location, and actually walked to Rossio and wouldn't recommend it unless you are a hiker to Bairro Alto.Great time in all... just could have been a little better. When i pointed out what had happened at the front desk they were not bothered. HMMMM! May 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by TENNISPERSON ENJOYABLE STAY Overall the service was terrific! Most of the hotel staff personnel spoke English and were friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable--enjoyed the power window curtain and the power blinds by the bathtub/shower. The room view was enjoyable and for most time the room was quiet. The Club Floor Lounge had good breakfasts, snacks and refreshments, and "Happy Hour". Some Glitches: 1. For 2 days did not have a spare toilet paper roll, only one partial toilet paper roll--after mentioning it to the front desk, this problem was promptly corrected. On one of these day, none of the toiletries was replenished. 2. My wife forgot her camera in a tour van, and the tour company said it would return it that evening leaving it at the front desk. My wife informed the front desk staff that her camera would be returned and to notify her when it was received. After the time period the tour said it would return the camera, my wife checked with the front desk staff and was informed that the camera was not returned yet. She waited another half-hour and checked with the front desk staff and again was informed the camera was not returned. My wife showed her concern, so the staff checked with another staff member, who said that the camera was returned a while ago. 3. On the last night, the occupant(s) in the above room made loud stomping noises--heavy walking occurring over various periods of time. Hotel staff promptly investigated. October 20, 2013

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|Look up borstal in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A borstal was a type of youth detention centre in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. In India, it is known as a borstal school.
Borstals were run by HM Prison Service and intended to reform seriously delinquent young people. The word is sometimes used loosely to apply to other kinds of youth institution or reformatory,[1] such as Approved Schools and Detention Centres. The court sentence was officially called "borstal training". Borstals were originally for offenders under 21, but in the 1930s the age was increased to under 23. The Criminal Justice Act 1982 abolished the borstal system in the UK, introducing youth custody centres instead.
In India, borstal schools are used exclusively for the imprisonment of minors or juveniles. Their objective is to ensure the care, welfare and rehabilitation of young offenders in an environment suitable for children and to keep them away from the contaminating atmosphere of a prison. The juveniles in conflict with law detained in borstal schools are provided various vocational training and education. The emphasis is given on the education, training and moral influence conducive to their reformation and the prevention of crime.[2] As of 31 December 2011, there are 21 functioning borstal schools in India, with a combined total capacity for 2,218 inmates.[3]
The Gladstone Committee (1895) first proposed the concept of the borstal, wishing to separate youths from older convicts in adult prisons. It was the task of Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise (1857–1935), a prison commissioner, to introduce the system, and the first such institution was established at Borstal Prison in a village called Borstal, near Rochester, Kent, England in 1902. The system was developed on a national basis and formalised in the Prevention of Crime Act 1908.
The regimen in these institutions was designed to be "educational rather than punitive", but it was highly regulated, with a focus on routine, discipline and authority. Borstal institutions were designed to offer education, regular work and discipline, though one commentator has claimed that "more often than not they were breeding grounds for bullies and psychopaths."[4] Some uncorroborated anecdotal evidence exists of unofficial brutality, both by staff towards the inmates and between inmates – though possibly no more than is the case for the prison system as a whole.
The Criminal Justice Act 1982 abolished the borstal system in the UK, introducing youth custody centres instead.
Except in Northern Ireland, the only corporal punishment officially available in borstals was the birch for mutiny or assaulting an officer, and this could be imposed only by the visiting magistrates, subject in each case to the personal approval of the Home Secretary, just as in adult prisons.[5] Only male inmates over 18 might be so punished. This power was very rarely used – there were only 7 birching cases in borstals in the 10 years to 1936.[6] This birching power was available only in England and Wales (not in Scottish borstals).[7] Caning as a more day-to-day punishment was used in the single borstal in Northern Ireland but was not authorised in England, Scotland or Wales.[8] Confusion on this matter arises perhaps because in Approved Schools, a quite different kind of youth institution based more on the open "boarding school" model, caning was a frequent official punishment for boys (maximum age 19).[9]
A similar system under the name "borstal" or "borstal school" has also been introduced in several other Commonwealth countries.
In India, 10 States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab (India), Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu have borstal schools in their respective jurisdictions. Tamil Nadu had the highest capacity for keeping 667 inmates. Haryana and Himachal Pradesh are the only states that have the capacity to lodge female inmates in 3 of their Borstal Schools. There are no borstal schools in any of the union territories.[3]
In Ireland the Criminal Justice Act, 1960 (Section 12) removed the term "borstal" from official use.[10] This was part of a policy to broaden the system from reform and training institutions to a place of detention for youths between 17 and 21 for any sentence which carried a prison term.[citation needed] The only borstal in the state was based for most of its existence in Clonmel, in County Tipperary. Originally founded in 1906, it finally closed in 1956, when the remaining detainees were transferred to the newly established St. Patrick's Institution in Dublin.

The wheels on this stand are made of plastic. I would think Zildjian would make it better by putting metal wheels on this stand. The wheels break off and stop turning also.

Gov. Chris Gregoire congratulates Sen. Mike Baumgartner on the passage of his government consolidation bill just before she signs it.
OLYMPIA — All the political infighting, negotiating and debating of the last weeks of the special session were essentially condensed Wednesday with bill signings for more than a dozen pieces of legislation.
That meant that some t hings that generated much angst and several stories during the 105-day regular session and the 30-day special session got fairly short shrift Wednesday as Gov. Chris Gregoire signed what is either the Legislature's crowning bipartisan achievement or its shining example of economic irresponsibility, the 2011-13 general operating budget.
But before Gregoire signed the budget, she signed into law the revisions to the workers compensation system that allow for voluntary structured settlements for folks who get hurt on the job, an expansion of family planning services, restrictions on the amount of time a family can receive temporary aid, a revamp of the Disability Lifeline and a study of the possible leasing of the liquor distribution system.
She also signed what turned out to be the last bill passed in the session, SB5931, which was Spokane Republican Sen. Mike Baumgartner's bill to streamline government by combining several departments like General Administration, printing and information services into a single Department of Enterprise Services. agencies.
"Now we'll implement it, and we'll implement it well, right everybody?" she asked state officials gathered for the signing.
When she got a tepid assent, she repeated "RIGHT, EVERYBODY?" and got stronger agreement.
Baumgartner made the trip over for the bill signing and was all smiles, although it's not clear if it was more because his bill passed or his wife, Eleanor Baumgartner, just had their first child less than a week earlier.
Their son, Conrad Michael Augustine Baumgartner, was born June 6 at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

If youre looking for a speedboat for your swim leg, look no further than the 2XU Mens V:3 Velocity Wetsuit. Its primary focus is propelling you forward at breakneck speeds, with features like Concave Water Entrapment Zones on the forearm for a powerful pull and Propulsion Panels on the lower legs to give you a kick like Bruce Lee, the V:3 will have you skipping across the water. At those speeds you probably wont need help staying afloat, but the V:3 is coated with Nano SCS Coating and a 39 Cell Front Buoyancy Panel for maximum buoyancy, keeping you in the desired swim position. With a seamless shoulder & arm panel for enhanced flexibility, this is one of the most comfortable triathlon wetsuits youll ever wiggle into.

Routes to Mirko Diving Centre on the island of Rab, Croatia.
Flash Player required.
Use right mouse button to navigate map.
Travelling by car:
Travelling to Rab has become easy.
You can travel most of the route by motorway.
The route from Graz is Graz - Maribor - Zagreb - Karlovac - Senj, then from Senj take the route to Split and stop in Jablanac. In Jablanac take a ferry boat to Rab. The route is 384 km long.
The route from Nürnberg can be taken in two directions:
1. The first direction is: Nürnberg - München - Salzburg - Villach - Ljubljana (in Ljubljana take the route to Postojna as the route via Zagreb is longer) - Postojna - Rijeka (from Rijeka keep the route to Split) - Kraljevica - Crikvenica-Senj - Jablanac, where you take a ferry boat to Rab. The route is 792 km long.
2. The second direction is: Nürnberg - Regensburg - Passau - Linz junction - Graz - Maribor - Zagreb - Karlovac - Senj- then take route to Split and stop in Jablanac. The route is 906 km long. Although it is 114 km longer than the first route, it might actually be faster, depending on the traffic density on another route.
"Rapska Plovidba" has four ferry boats running the 15 min. voyage from Jablanac to Rab. The ferry boats operate every day, including Sundays and holidays, and make over 10 trips per day, or more as needed. In case of traffic jams, the ferries run non-stop. The timetable can be downloaded from www.rapska-plovidba.hr. When the page opens, click on PLOVNI RED (Croatian for "timetable"). It takes approx. 5 min. by car (approx. 3 km) from the ferry landing on Rab to the small town of Barbat . When you enter Barbat, you will see the Mirko Diving Centre's sign, where you turn as indicated and drive for another 200 m, after which you arrive to our Centre, your destination.
Important notice.
The route via the island of Krk is much longer and more complicated. Avoid this route.
