I decided not to hitchhike that day. A marshrutka was heading to Bender and I decided to take it. We drove for an hour or so through the flat central Moldova, thinking about not important things as I was looking through the window, when Nikolai showed some interest in me.
- Iedich na Priednistrovie, da?
- Da, I answered.
Well, my Russian was quite bad. Although when you are alone in a foreign country you improve fast, I had been only for three days in Moldova, and even Moldova isn't a 100% Russian speaking country. I would say, maybe, 45% of the people I met spoke Russian. But this doesn't matter. Nikolai was talking to me and I had to please him, I wanted to cause a good impression despite my broken trousers and my dirty bag, so I asked him questions like where was he from, if he had kids, wife, horse or dog.
And then I was there, applying for some sort of transit visa to the unknown Republic of Transnistria, an auto-proclaimed state, a de facto republic, the Russian area by the Dniester River that didn't want to become a region of Moldova and gained their independence by the power of weapons. But being still a communist country, the new state was not recognized by any other state, and just got the sympathy and protection of Russia, giving a Russian passport to all Transnistrians. Now the Republic of Transnitria is still called a communist state, but the only thing left from that is the unique party regime, while the economic system is a fierce capitalism with Soviet symbols and Lenin statues here and there, extended corruption and Russian soldiers controlling the strategic points.
In the border, they gave me a thin paper with some writings in it. It was my visa. As a non-recognized state, they cannot stamp the passport, so a paper is all they can do. It all ran without hassles and all the stories about corruption I heard about Transnistria vanished in the happy face of a kind policeman. I had a visa for stay in the country for several hours and I got into Bendery. You can hear many awful things about Transnistria, but there the market looked like a normal market, the streets were the same as in the neighboring countries and the people looked more or less like everywhere. I realized how many writers' exaggerations about this land made us have a wrong image of it, because the corruption and criminal affairs may be true, but most of the people in the country have nothing to do with this; they are kind, well-dressed, polite and a little bit abject, more or less, like everywhere. I had read Nikolai Lilin's book Siberian Education¸ with many criminal matters about this land, which made me expect another thing.
But maybe it wasn't that normal, possibly Transnistria still had something unique and special.
Just when I got down the bus I saw a war tank turned to a monument that welcomes and warns everybody not to mess with this land. Bendery was a normal ex-communist city, wide alleys and short houses combined with huge concrete buildings, the market with the typical products and policemen with wide hats. But the things changed when I saw then Dniester River and the bridge. As a result of the war between Moldova and Transnitria in 1992, the Russian army took positions in the area, being the bridge linking the two sides of the Dniester River one of the places permanently controlled by the Russian Army.
The soldiers asked me for papers, information and so on. After a while, I stopped being a fun, and they left me go and put the attention to a couple of vans. I passed walking over the river remembering how far the Dniester seemed during the geography classes when I was in school. I was pleased to be in a mythical geographical feature like that. As pleased I was that I decided to take a trolleybus to Tiraspol and use my first Transnistrian rubles, getting down just when I had enough of it. The river made a long detour by the city, and I was again not far from it. There was a promenade and some aquatic attractions, just by a muddy beach where the people was swimming and sunbathing. I got there and extended my little travel towel, emulating them and laying over it. Some people's attention turned to me. They came and we maintain a little conversation. They all decided I would have problems with police getting out of the country and wanted to help. They catch my notebook and wrote something in Russian I couldn't understand.
- Show it to the police in the border – they said.
After a short bath and thanking them, I went to look for the station. I had only a couple of hours left to leave the country. I passed through Tiraspol center, with the opportunity of making some photos to those Lenin's statues and war cars decorated with the Transnistrian flag and the inscription "Za Rodinu".
Just there I found Andrei. I asked him how to go to the bus station, and he wanted to go with me. He was a mathematics student who became very excited when I told him I was from Catalonia. He knew a lot of things about my place, the willing to be independent, the political events of the past years, the differences with Spanish, the language, football and so on. I made him note that the realities here and there were somehow similar.
- Yes, the way to understand identity maybe it's similar -he said-, but the situation is different. Very different. Here, the politics…
And he looked up at the sky and exhaled a deep sigh.
And I agreed.
After a couple of typical Eastern-Europe-bus-station-drunkards, I got into a bus heading to Ukraine. It was a pity: my dreamed stay in Transnitria had been too short; a six hours visa was not a big thing. But it didn't disturb me for a long time. After a while I would be again in Ukraine, one of the countries I've visited more times. And I'll have never enough.

I had my wedding in Tahoe and wanted a place that would accommodate my wedding group for the week. The Manzanita Lodge was the most reasonably priced that would hold such a large group. The rooms were cozy and the meeting lodge was a great place for everyone to get together and hangout. The staff was very nice and helpful whenever we had questions or needed anything.

Black Diamond Orbit
Where to Buy
This review is for the older 45 lumen Orbit model.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: 20 bucks
This review is for the older 45 lumen Orbit model. The new models are rated at 60 lumen with a flashlight option. I'll be honest... this doesn't go on every backpacking trip because it's a little redundant when you have a headlamp. However, the Orbit does provide nice ambient light when backpacking with groups and is a definite "must pack" when car camping.
- It provides ambient light.
- It helped provide memories (this claim has yet to be confirmed)???
- Do you really need it?
- Is it really worth the money?
- Is it really worth the weight?
So about two years ago, on a spontaneous trip to Joshua Tree, my friend bought this lantern at a local store, Joshua Tree Outfitters. Being a sucker for gear and a person who will have acute bouts of "gear envy" I bought one too.
I can't say that I've taken the Orbit on every backpacking trip... since packing a headlamp would pretty much make this item dead weight. But, if you like ambient light when camping in a group (especially when camping at high-altitudes where fires aren't allowed), it's worth its weight and a space in your pack.
Range: It's not far. But then again, it's a lantern and not a headlamp. I wouldn't use it as my only source of light and definitely not as a main source when walking/hiking in the dark. We used two recently when car camping at Crane Flat in Yosemite at opposite ends of the picnic table when playing poker. It was light enough to see my pocket 10s that I completely overplayed on a terrible flop.
In the picture below, we used it to help cut up some tri-tip that we finished grilling (that was DELICIOUS).
Beam & Brightness: There's no real beam (I'm interested in trying out the new models though, which include a flashlight option) and it's not spectacularly bright. However, it provides great ambient light, especially in the tent.
When camping in Sawyer Lake in Wisconsin, the lamp allowed me to stay up and read while my girlfriend slept (I use a Sierra Designs Lightning HT 2 tent that provides 40 in of head room and 28.5 sq ft of floor space if that's helpful). Furthermore, when camping in the high country, where fires aren't allowed, it provides a nice alternative to just using a headlamp for light.
Burn Time/Power Source: I've never taken the Orbit on extended outings so I cannot comment on the burn time. I do remember that it was at least a year plus before I had to change the originally packaged batteries, though.
Ease of Use: This thing's extremely easy. There's one button. Press it to turn it on. Hold it down to dim. The light will blink to let you know you reached the lowest setting. Press it again to turn it off.
Weather: The lowest temperatures I've used the Orbit was in the high 30s/low 40s, so I cannot attest to its abilities in cold weather. I've also only used the Orbit in dry conditions so I cannot attest to how it would operate in wet conditions.
Features: The light can telescope to ease in packability. There are also two metal D style rings that allow the Orbit to be hung from the loops at the roof of my tent. The feature of the flashlight, coupled with the higher lumen count, seems quite intriguing in the new models.. but sadly, I have the old one =(.
Modes: The dimmer's a nice option when your tent-mate wants to sleep but you'd like to stay up.. just that while longer. I did wish it was a little brighter though.
Construction & Durability: I've had no problems with the construction and durability of the Orbit. The rubber bumpers of the base makes the product feel real solid. I've knocked it off tables and haven't been that careful with it, but everything seems to work just fine.
Conditions: I've only used it on a handful of group backpacking trips and only a couple of solo trips because the Orbit is a little bit redundant when you're carrying a headlamp. I've definitely brought it on all my car camping trips.
Best For: So, do you really need an Orbit? No. Do you really need to pack an extra light source on top of a headlamp that uses an additional 4 AAA batteries (on top of whatever batteries you packed with your headlamp)? No. Do you really need to spend 20 bucks on this thing when you have much brighter alternatives? No. I didn't really need the Orbit. It's more luxury than utilitarian. And its benefits doesn't necessarily justify the extra weight in your pack. But.. what I do remember about the Orbit was:
- Using it out in Joshua Tree while playing Don't Think Twice It's Alright on my guitar and watching the night stars at Jumbo Rocks.
- Reading Vonnegut write about Eliot Rosewater and his "ridiculous" ideas with the assistance of the Orbit.
- Camping for the first time with my significant other as the Orbit lit the inside of our tent.
- Seeing the two Orbits light up the flop as I caught an open ended straight draw and then catching the straight on the turn in the same aforementioned poker game in Yosemite.
- Laying around near the shores of Moraine Lake in the Cascades as we looked up to the Milky Way (I don't even think I paid all that much attention to draining the batteries of the Orbit at that point as it laid next to me).
So did I really need to purchase this thing? Probably not. But I couldn't let my buddy get away with buying the Orbit without having to buy one myself.
Orbit compared to a 2L Platypus:
I've got an Orbit and feel the same way—no, I don't need it most of the time, but it's nice to have a little lantern if you're car camping, especially with kids.
10 months ago
Picked up the last one my local REI had - was on clearance for $16.83! This thing lit up a 3.5-person tent without a problem on my trip last weekend. Believe the updated version weighs more, because, well, flashlight - could only see this being a perk if you pack this instead of a headlamp? Also, props for having "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" as part of your rep - one of my fave tunes, and probably my fave from Dylan. Helps to see all 6 strings if you're fingerpicking especially! :) Nice review, dude!

Here's my review of Black Diamond's Orbit lantern:
Great little backpacking light. Small but powerful.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $13.50
Great little backpacking light. Small but powerful.
- Small
- Lightweight
- Bright
- Lasts a long time
- None
My initial impressions upon taking the lantern out of the box was "IT'S SO TINY". I almost was disappointed by its size thinking it would be useless. BOY WAS I WRONG!
Once I put the batteries in and tested it out I was surprised by the amount of light given off. This is a great little lantern. It is very compact, I love the way the globe collapses down onto the base which makes this even smaller for when it comes time to put it away.
I tested this out in a dark room and found that at full brightness I got about a 2 foot radius of usable light, probably closer to 2 and a half feet but I am not arguing. It was very bright and made everything easy to see. The frosting on the globe diffuses the light and makes it less harsh on the eyes.
I have yet to change the batteries on this so I can't say for sure how long it lasts, but the lantern has been in use for several weekend trips now and it is still shining bright. I've used it to illuminate the cooking area while making dinner, the table at our campsite for a game of cards, and of course inside the tent. It lights up a 2-person tent perfectly and it has a nice little set of rings on the top for hanging the lantern in the tent.
There is a dimmer built into the switch although it's not obvious at first. When you turn on the lantern it ALWAYS goes to full brightness, but if you click the switch and hold it then the light will cycle through a dimming setting. Once it gets to its dimmest the light will blink once and if you continue to hold the button it will start getting brighter again.
The casing seems rugged and well made. The battery compartment is made of a strong plastic and the compartment door threads onto the base. The switch seems durable, and appears to be weather resistant, although the instructions state "Do not submerge".
All in all this is a great little backpacking light. It would be well suited to backpacking camping since it is so small and lightweight. But it would also make a great emergency light for your home. At the price I paid it was a great bargain. Would definitely purchase another. Oh, and they come in some really great colors.

Source: bought it new
Lightweight, bright, and cleverly-designed, this lantern makes excellent use of diffused light, compacts so that it won't accidentally turn on, and adds a cool secondary light source as backup to a headlamp and/or campfire. Recommended for backpackers who enjoy a supplementary light to give a dark campsite more illuminated texture.
- Small
- Light
- Great design
- Bright
- Battery life
I bought this lantern to replace my old single-mantle white gas lantern which was enormous, heavy, fragile, and occasionally dangerous. The amount of light that the Orbit emits is quite impressive for its size and weight.
I use this lantern primarily as a supplementary light to our headlamps and/or the campfire. 95% of the time we keep it on low to conserve battery life and to help preserve our night vision. Used this way, for 2-4 hours per night, the batteries last through a long weekend (I'm using the 1st generation Orbit — the newer models advertise longer burn times). I should also mention that I use rechargeable batteries, which really don't last as long as your standard non-rechargeables.
The design is very clever. The base of the lantern is slim, so that diffused light is reflected all around and down. So if you hang this lantern high, you'll be able to see directly beneath the lantern. The loop on top of the lantern is really two metal hooks that come together as a loop, so you can essentially hang this anywhere without needing to thread something through a solid loop (this is easier to see than to explain — it's actually a very simple setup).
If there's a tree branch hanging low, you don't need to attach it from the end of the branch — you can enclose the loop at any point along the branch. Pretty groovy. When the light is not in use it collapses down and becomes almost 1/2 size, completely securing the on/off button from accidental trigger. The single button also serves as a dimmer switch when you hold it down. Again, very simple and intuitive.
Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love this thing more deeply, I had a couple sips of camp whiskey and went for a midnight swim, and the lantern got knocked into the lake. It slowly sank and filled up with water — never turning off or going out! I quickly rescued the Orbit, disassembled it, wiped it dry and left it in a tent pocket overnight. The next morning it was thoroughly dry, so I reassembled it and pressed the button. It worked like a charm and hasn't quit on me yet.
This has been a staple in my pack since 2009. If you require a major lantern to brightly light up an entire campsite (as for a group of campers), then maybe a more powerful torch would be a better option. This light, even on low, will give some extra local light to a campsite, but will not overpower the landscape.
Recommended for weight-conscious backpackers who want a supplementary light to enrich, not drown out, a campsite or tent. Great for picnic tables and lean-to's.

Great little lantern for backpacking! Lightweight, compact, great light output.
- Light output great
- Dimmable feature
- Compact
- Has issues staying on in cold weather
I bought this lantern from REI (in the green color) at the end of last summer as a way to be able to stay up later on the trail with my fellow backpackers without us wasting our headlamps.
First impressions: The size is great and it "folds" up into itself to take up less space in your pack. Simple plastic construction, but seems very durable. Plastic that covers the light is translucent so you aren't staring at the bulb. There are hooks at the top, so you can hang the lantern, either inside your tent, or in the leanto, on a tree, wherever!
The light output, in my opinion, is perfect. It's not too bright, but offers just enough light to do simple things like cook, play cards, etc. If you hold down the button, the light dims, which I love, not only for a softer light feel, but also to help conserve batteries.
When I took the lantern out in cooler weather, I started to have some problems with it kicking off after 20-30 minutes of being on. Swapped the batteries out for some lithium batteries, and have had much better luck. It will still turn off after being on for awhile, but I suspect that's a battery save feature, and not a defect in the lantern. The last trip I took was out in the Catskills, temperatures were hovering around 15 degrees or so, and the lamp kicked off probably after about 2 or so hours. And it turned right back on.
Not sure of the weight, obviously if you're an ultralight backpacker, which I aspire to on some trips, this is just a luxury item. It takes 4 AAA batteries, which is annoying, but at least it's triples! I'm told there is a special Black Diamond battery pack that you can use with the lantern that I believe are rechargeable, but I have zero knowledge on that, and especially not how it compares to the lithium batteries.
Overall, a great little lamp that has come with me on several trips throughout the past year. Definitely spend the extra money for the lithium batteries, even if you don't plan to use it in cold weather.

BRILLIANT, yeah it is bright
- Doubly adjustable, by using the adjustment button and gently/slightly collapsing will furthermore reduce the light output to a bare minimal light.
- Excellent in the tent, on the table, in the field. When I arrive at a campsite in the dark this is one of the first things I pull out, turn it on along with my headlamp and find the area to pitch the tent. Then place it right next to that area while setting up.
- This smaller version of lamp has been by far enough for the minimalist camping that I like doing.
- Nice and small to hang inside tent BUT don't be fooled as it puts out lots of light in the tent.
- Good diffusement of good light.
- Packs real small and it quite light.
- When packed down the on/off button is protected from an accidental turn on.
- Not waterproof, but doesn't really need to be.
- The two overlapping double hooks for hanging would be better being longer.
This is one of only a few luxuries I take and it is well worth the small room and tiny amount of weight.
Yes, I do recommend and would buy this model again from REI.

I love this little light. Worked great on a canoe trip: hang it from the center tent roof, perfect lighting with ability to dim or brighten. Functions either as lantern or flashlight!
Small and compact. It might be heavy for backpackers, but for my outdoor activity, it is great. Takes a bit to figure out the on/off/adjust function but trial and error work, too.
Well constructed. I don't think it will break. Collapsible design saves space. A bit pricey for a little light, but I got mine gently used and saved about $10.
I recommend this lantern, especially for backpacking.

I went on a few trips last year and used this lantern that someone else brought. On my last trip to BWCA this year, the group used it extensively and I borrowed it several time to get some tent-glow pictures at sunset. Afterwards, I decided to buy my own and as luck would have it I nabbed one from the REI outlet for about $20 a few weeks later.
Mine works like the other models I used in the past and I frequently used it in the North Cascades last month. For the size and price it puts out plenty of light to be able to cook or find things in the tent etc. The two foldable hooks on the top are perfect for hanging in the tent. It even dims to save battery life etc. I've used it to get tent-glow pictures at sunset (I've only been able to get about 20-30' away from the lit tent to get a good shot).
About my only complaint is that it takes 4 AAA batteries so its a little heavy for a non-essential backpacking accessory. However it made the cut when I backpacked up to Sahale Glacier camp and was worth it!

The last lantern you'll ever need.
- Analog adjustable brightness
- Small size
- Multimodal hook
- Wide illumination angle
- Collapsible
- Not rectangular (for easier packing)
- Holds only 3 batteries at a time
- White light only
- No flash mode
Visible distance is as advertised. Even better if at an elevated position. I usually prop this using a hiking stick.
Very easy to use (lanterns generally are).
Unique hook can be made into a loop for added security. this, together with its small size, makes it a viable alternative to a headlamp when attached to the shoulder straps of a backpack. just make sure it doesn't swing (easily accomplished by tape or rope).
Collapses for compact storage.
Seems to be durable, but not waterproof.
Hopefully it can show red light, as an alternative for star map reading using headlamps.
Wide brightness adjustment range. but the brightest setting uses up battery juice quite fast.
It's a very good basic lantern. but as a headlamp alternate, it can be lacking. especially if you're looking for red light, flash mode, and waterproofing.

There isn't much negative to say about this lantern, unless you are going ultralight. For car camping, Scout trips and short backpacking where weight isn't as much of an issue, this product is outstanding.
It is tiny, lightweight, and bright. It has two small hooks which make hanging it from rope at dinner or the inside of a tent a breeze. Battery life isn't much of an issue, especially if you use the dimming feature...just hold the button for your desired brightness.
You'll want to bring it on every trip!

Price Paid: $30
Originally I thought that this was a waste of space and money. Why do I need a lantern when I have a headlamp? Well, my girlfriend kept saying how much she wanted one and would go on and on about a lantern for the tent so one day I went to a local outdoor gear shop and picked up the orbit.
WOW! What an amazing product. The amount of gentle light output for its size is amazing. It more than lights up my tent and works great as a cooking light. It illuminates a large area and if set on top of a 1L water bottle is at the perfect height for cooking and playing cards.
Honestly it is one of my (and definitely my girlfriend's) favorite purchases. I would definitely buy one again. It is well worth the $30 and 5 oz.

Price Paid: $26
I began using the Coleman Peak1 white gas lantern, then started using small single mantle canister fueled lanterns, then finally settled on a ten dollar LED lantern that I picked up because it was kind of neat. The ten dollar lantern (Eddie Bauer) was great, but the light it threw out was partially blocked by a large base.
So long story short - I picked up the Orbit a couple of weeks ago, and it's marvelous. The design is very creative and thoughtful, and the light output is great. The light is much more useful and crisp than my EB lantern. At under 5 ounces, and being so small, you can't beat it.
Also, with having gone from gas-fueled lanterns to battery-fueled, there's no competition with my canister stove for those last precious breaths of fuel.

Very innovative style, copied by others.
- Lights up a small area like a backpacking tent
- Very light, portable for a lantern
- Light can be blinding if not placed above and behind you
- Burn time is shorter than my headlamp
- Heavier and more bulky than a headlamp
Simply pull the top and bottom to extend and reveal the on/off dim switch. After several years of use my first did pull apart (it sticks until enough force is applied and then releases with a bit too much force).
Unfold the two half (quarter actually) rings to form a ring around whatever you want hang it to, no tying required.
I take it on shorter trips and/or longer nights when it will get a lot of use. And of course car camping.

The Black Diamond Orbit lantern is tiny (think one of those small cans of V8), and if that weren't enough, it's also a fantastic light. It offers plenty of illumination in front or backcountry campsites, and the intuitive dimming functionality makes it perfect both outside and inside your shelter.
- Size
- Weight
- Light output
- Ease of use
- Durability
- Battery life
- Suspension system
- Button placement
This lantern found a permanent place in my pack after my first outing with it in tow. Its maiden trip was a car-camping weekend with substantial downpours. The light spent most of its time suspended by its two folding metal half loops from some utility cord above the picnic table (more on this later). From there it provided ample light for preparing nighttime snacks, playing board games, and cleanup before hitting the hay.
We had always brought our trusty Coleman PerfectFlow for these purposes, but enjoyed the ease of use of the Orbit quite a bit more. We like to keep light sources as dim as possible in the evening so as not to disturb other campers, and I found that the Orbit outperformed the Coleman in this regard, especially thanks to the ability of the lantern to be collapsed for added dimness. T
he control for dimming and increasing the light should be immediately familiar to anyone who owns a Black Diamond headlamp, and while it is certainly easy, the placement of the button to operate the control can be a bit tedious to find by touch.
The only other minor gripe I have with the lantern is its odd suspension rig. It consists of two half D rings that when both folded up form a loop for hanging. This system is just a little odd to me as it takes a bit of finagling to get it looped onto anything, though I suppose that increases its security. The real "problem" is hanging it on an already taut horizontal line, because the light will slide freely and readily along said line. There are any number of simple fixes for this though, and I can't really fault the light for it.
Overall, this light is small enough, light enough, and useful enough that I can't imagine any of my outdoor adventures excluding it.

Fantastic little product at a great price.
The light output isn't going to fill a campsite; but it is ideal if you want some light to cook by or a tent light for playing cards or reading (hanging from a center loop gear loft easily illuminates an entire 3-person tent and the double hook design makes sure it stays in place). The Orbit Lantern is ESPECIALLY perfect if you'd like to shave ounces and minimize pack space.
All around an excellent product. Well built, lightweight, acceptable battery consumption, good light output.

On my last backpacking trip, I used this little guy to light up our campsite. At 45 lumens, it puts out a pretty good amount of light at its maximum setting. I hung it from a tree, about 7 feet up, and that seemed to be where it worked the best.
I've also used it at its minimum setting for a night light in a tent or cabin. Its adjustable light settings make it extremely versatile. Its compressibility make it fairly small to pack.
Nice features: tiny size and weight, dimmer function.

Man you guys are incompetent homers.
Man you guys are incompetent homers.
Why didn't we bench our pro bowl candidate punt returner?
Why don't you ask yourself that one more time?
Philbin gambled on a decision that had a high risk and possibly a high reward and lost; not unlike going for it on 4th down. Thigpen has been returning kick-offs, but when punts were expected to be near the goal-line Bess handled them. I assume this was because Bess has the surer hands. Philbin knows that Bess would have fair-caught the ball with no return, but he probably hoped that by putting in Thigpen he would get a big play. Philbin took a chance that Thigpen would make a play and lost. This was all on Philbin, so why should Thigpen be benched?
I'm on team CalDolFan10x14. Join me!
-Dan MarinoI just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.
Here is the answer to your question. Philbin realized he made a mistake for benching Bush and he did not repeat that mistake. People would you quit with the why did Bush get benched and (FILL IN THE BLANK) did not every time someone fumbles the ball. This is about the fifth post about someone fumbling the ball and not getting benched and Bush did.
Uhhhh....bc he came back out and showed he is a true gamer by taking it back like 50+ yards on his next go round. He answered........that's what he should have done and he did.

Alternatives to incarcerating youths having positive impact
Sunday, March 3, 2013
DOVER — For years, states have been working to find ways besides confinement to treat youths who commit crimes or have behavioral issues, and new data shows those initiatives are working.
She said the alternatives provide children with "viable skills and options" for coping with the world to become successful.
In 1997, the federal government passed the Adoption of Safe Families Act, which required states to find a permanent situation for children after 12 months in placement.
Bishop said in 2008 there were 235 youths at the Sununu Center, and that number steadily declined to 122 in 2012.
Through research of evidence-based programs and practices, and working with consultants, Maine in 2000 opened two facilities — Long Creek and Mountain View youth development centers in South Portland and Charleston, respectively.
Kirkpatrick at Justiceworks said any juvenile justice specialist will say incarceration is a last resort that should be reserved for youths who truly need it.
"It is really exciting to see this report and to see that these approaches are what's best for youth and families for the short term and long term," she said.

What's green, a bit transparent and has 28 legs? I have no idea, but it was in my cereal. I do know one thing, I'm not eating that ever again... This bug, while gross in food, looks pretty neat. A nice abstract piece great for a dorm room, or anyone who likes bugs, like an entomologist. Even biology majors would appreciate this.

When choosing sunglasses, it's tempting to put fashion first. But don't forget their most important function: providing protection for your peepers. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage both the cornea and the retina of the eye, as well as contribute to the development of certain types of cataracts. While everyone's eyes are at risk, some of us are even more so: If you spend a lot of time in the sun, have had cataract surgery or certain retina disorders, or if you take medications that can increase the eye's sensitivity to light (such as tetracycline, birth control pills, sulfa drugs, diuretics, or tranquilizers), make sure to throw on some shades every time you're outside.
How can you be sure your pair is affording you adequate protection? Just follow these sunglasses-shopping tips from Monica L. Monica, MD, PhD, a spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Keep Reading...
1. Look for a label
Sunglasses should have lenses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB rays, and they need to carry a tag or sticker stating they do. Fortunately, you don't have to pay a lot to get this level of protection. "The industry standard is such that even less-expensive sunglasses are made to block this much UV," says Dr. Monica. That means whether you purchase your pair at a department store or drugstore, or in a high-end boutique, your eyes will be safe if you seek out these tags.
4. Seek out recycled shades
While buying secondhand shades might seem like the greenest way to go, Dr. Monica advises against buying used frames unless they are marked with a sticker that says they block the proper amount of UV. If there isn't a tag, you can't be sure they're protective unless you bring them to an eye-care expert who can check them with a photometer. If it's time for a new pair and you want an ecofriendly choice, ICU Eyewear makes sunglasses from reclaimed materials that cost only $21.95. And iWood's frames are made from sustainable wood, though the price ($350) is pretty steep.
5. Repair or donate instead of tossing
It is possible to have sunglasses repaired by a professional, so if you spent enough on nice shades, bring them to an expert who may be able to buff out scratches or repair broken parts. When they're beyond repair, though, don't just toss them in the trash. Keep them out of the landfill and give them a second life by donating them instead. The Lion's Club and Unite for Sight both accept gently used sunglasses and send them to those who are unable to purchase their own pair, both in the U.S. and abroad.

"easier said then done"
Jack Welch makes it sound easy, but we all know it is not. However, the listener gets a clear understanding of the handful of management levers that Welch used consistently over the years, in order to build GE into one of the best run companies in the world.
"Nice pace with lots of details"
Terrific recap of the run-up to, the fire itself, and aftermath of the tragedy. Filled with interesting detail on the world of the theatre at the turn of the century.
"illuminates a wide range of issues"
Measured survey of the journey of highs and lows for the countries in and around Europe. Woven together, Mr. Friedman lays out what he thinks all of this portends.
"an inch wide and half an inch deep"
Here's the condensed formula I learned from the book.: be there, be serious, think long term.
"clear, full of details and gripping"
Rich story about how these 33 men got trapped, lived underground and were rescued. Fascinating details about what kind of "help" arrived from up above during the ordeal.
"the future is here"
Terrific overview of how technology available today, coupled with a mindset shift in clinician thinking, can go a long way towards improving health care for all.
"informative, from several perspectives"
Sarah Thornton did a good job here of teaching us about the art world. With her "close up" accounts of real life events, she helped me better understand the goals and motivations of the myriad players in the value chain.
"therapy for the journey"
Very soothing one way conversation with the author about her lifelong journey tidying up....and what you can learn from it. Good pre-therapy before cleaning out your house of lifetime possessions. A little corny when she starts thanking her possessions for the joy they bring to her life. Nonetheless, mildly entertaining.
"data driven discoveries"
Delightful listen of some new and unexpected factoids about human behavior. Super narration too.
"is this where the web is headed?"
This story was an aspirational account of where a leading tech company wants to take the world.....to a place of total transparency. Great performance by the narration team.
"not a jet, but a family of jets"
Interesting story about the aircraft business in general and the development of the 747 in particular. Now I understand why the model 747 has been around so long, and the reasons for its many configurations. I'm just an infrequent flier, but still enjoyed the listen.

This will be great but... april's fools is so close...
Phoronix: A Message From Valve's Gabe Newell
Gabe Newell of Valve, the company behind Steam and the Source Engine, has allegedly sent over a message to Phoronix...
This will be great but... april's fools is so close...
Too close to April 1. Tomorrow, Steam and the entire HL2 series will be released for Linux, along with Microsoft Office 2010. Oh and Catalyst will be released as open source and merged to Linux 3.4 mainline.
Also expect Stereoscopic 3d support "real soon now", a native Linux port of Mass Effect 1 - 3, and pre-releases of Intel's Haswell platform being shipped free to Linux users for their undying adherence to their belief in their platform.
no this isn't a April 1. joke!...
That statement doesnt even sound right, with opengl 2+ you compile your shaders so that you can use to them to draw. Compiling is a one time thing, your not doing it during draw calls. I say its bogus.
Yes, this time for sure!!!
Surely Valve knows how to pre-compile their shaders at level-load time for example. Or have they been DX-only for too long?
It's not out of the realm of imagination that an engine might want to load a shader at render-time, not just at load-time. In fact I think the Valve Source engine might do this, because I often get these very obvious freezes in Source engine games during the early stages of a match. The frequency and severity of them drops off as I play the game longer, to the point that they simply don't happen after 10 minutes or so. Seems like it's trying to load some resource at runtime the first time it was utilized, rather than simply throw everything at the VRAM and/or RAM during the initial engine load.
The only advantage is that the engine would appear to run better on cards with really low VRAM (128MB or less)...
also modern engines like Arma2 are Streaming games this means new land comes up new shaders and so one the engine always drop part and load new parts.
imagine a modern engine like arma3... 900km² you can't hold this in VRAM! never! because of this the engie need to load and unload stuff all the time.
valves half-life 3 engine its the same the game engine is made to be so big that you always need to compile shades.
Or perhaps the correct term is pre-cache? Anyway, even the blobs don't fully compile the shader until you use it to draw something.

@ Larabel, now do what every other site would do and OC the ram, both of your best kits at 1.65v or if you are feeling daring the max safe 24/7 voltages(depends on the ICs on the stick, I've seen between 1.7-2.1v while the JEDEC standard is 1.65v)

There is some evidence that the Kaveri may support a quad-channel memory.
If it will be supporting it on new socket I will probably buy it for testing.
That sucks, considering that Carrizo (according to this) will be using FM2+ as well, and same chipset as Kavari :/
I doubt it, as it's just a year from now, but I hope that's subject to change.
Thanks for the info
Well, how about sticking those 2400mhz ram on Haswell system and see how much performance can be gained
Haswell benefits way less then Kaveri, especially with the Kingston RAM modules here in the test.
Kaveri loves Dual Rate RAM (not to be confused with Dual Channel)
For Haswell, and former AMD APUs, it doesn't really matter if its Dual or Single Rate.
I would like to see how much scaling memory speed translate to haswell performance. I have seen some tests here in phoronix but they only tested to 1600mhz, and it shows performance scaling.
Regarding dual rate ram, most ram now are dual rated (double sided ram).
The manufacturer's website does not contain anything.
http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX24C11T3K2_8X.pdf ???
AMD should put quad channel memory controller. That along DDR4 should be enough for an APU.
