WASHINGTON (AP) — The Congressional Black Caucus pressed the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday to move swiftly to cut the costs that prison inmates and their families are paying for phone calls, an issue that has been tied up with the regulatory panel for a decade.
Caucus members said the rates can be nearly $4 per call, with up to an additional 55 cents a minute for long distance calls. They said the high phone rates disproportionately impact African Americans and Hispanics who make up more than 60 percent of the incarcerated.
"Frequently these kinds of fees force many families to make difficult decisions on whether to forgo contact with their family or loved ones because the cost becomes prohibitive," said Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, at a news conference Wednesday.
The Federal Communications Commission has finished collecting public comment on phone services provided for inmates. It must decide whether the charges to inmates are just and reasonable. It also is reviewing the practice of prisons giving companies exclusive contracts and private prisons limiting inmates to making collect calls.
The comment period on proposed regulations of inmate phone services ended in April. The FCC is reviewing the comments, which will be used to draft new rules, said FCC spokesman Mark Wigfield. Commissioners will discuss, negotiate and edit the rules and eventually vote on them, Wigfield said. He did not know when that vote would happen.
In a proposal published in the Federal Register in January, the FCC said inmate calls are usually limited to collect calls or to calls from pay phones. The cost of those calls are charged to the inmates.
Usually a call comes with two charges that vary widely, the FCC said. The per call charge can range from 50 cents to $3.95, with any additional per minute charges ranging from 5 cents to 89 cents, the FCC said.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, the delegate who represents Washington, D.C., in Congress said the caucus is pressing the FCC to regulate interstate and intrastate calls.
Wigfield said the FCC only regulates interstate calling, but Norton said the caucus believes the law allows it to do both. She said most of the calls would be left unaddressed if intrastate calls are not regulated too.
The caucus also wants the FCC to eliminate per call charges — a charge for using the phone — and consider a per-minute rate cap.
"If you cut off communication, most of that would have to be family communication between an inmate and family support. He's going to come out of jail with nothing and with no hope. And we see what happens when that occurs," Norton said.

Mobile Studio Sessions – SXSW – Kelly McGrath
South by SouthWest is, quite frankly, always a bit of a brain fry. I don't mind, simply because I have never been there not working. I can't imagine just attending as the amount of decisions to be made when no one is paying you to be anywhere are just too much. Lucky us, we were working. We were on the job for one of our sponsors, Sennheiser, who were sending us artists from the Paste Magazine showcase at SXSW. Our team split up; with Ariff and Zack off to cover the remainder of the Ambassadors' performances and Taylor and myself (Lonely Paul) tasked with running the sessions on the bus.
We discovered our rhythm in these sessions as well. My position, while continuously addressed as engineer in the planning phase, really amounts to producer. Taylor, on hand to film the sessions, had spent the previous year working with everyone who came through the sessions and is no slouch in the recording world himself. So, rather than having a guy around to film the session and wait a lot while we made things happen for the session, Taylor was able to double as engineer. I am quite happy with our discovery. We have to move pretty quickly in there and the second set of hands left me to sort routing, make choices about preamps and microphones and then leave the fine tuning positioning to happen once I am out of the tracking room and manning the desk and DAW. Conveniently placed in the live room; Taylor was then right on hand to roll camera when I pressed the red button. The MobileStudio Recording Team was born of necessity and led to efficiency. This is what happens when your team of creatives are all multi-disciplinary in their abilities: you save time and money and get things done.
The first artist Sennheiser sent over was the lovely and charming Kelly McGrath. Kelly is a recent transplant from Los Angeles to Nashville who performs as a country artist. However, I feel like her work really transcends a genre that has become hard to discern from MOR or adult alternative or whatever other thing they are calling things for the sake of promoting them at the counter of Starbucks or whatever. Kelly is more classic in her interpretations of the genre, recalling artists like Patsy Cline, some have even referenced Janis Joplin in her case, but I was never a Janis man so it didn't automatically occur to me. Regardless of what you call what she does, it really is quite lovely to watch her perform and she has an instant charisma that makes her material endearing and heart wrenching all at once.
I don't really know what happened or how it started, but I remember this: we all really hit it off. Maybe it was shared humor. Maybe it was just that SXSW thing where you're all far from home, whether for the past few months or just the week, but you don't have your usual support network and you are open to bonding. Whatever it was, within a few minutes of talking to Kelly, we had determined that we were going to catch her material in the raw, the way she performs it live. We had already set her session up estimating for the fact that she was bringing an acoustic and that we thought we would shoot for comfort. We opened up the space in the live room and set up a two mic session for the acoustic, with the Sennheiser e914 pointing down the neck and the MK4 at the mouth of the body. I then ran our Neumann TLM103 as a vocal mic. I ran the e914 through the ADL 600 and ran the Neumann and the MK4 both through the True P2 Analog Preamp. Taylor had sat and played guitars and done a basic level check for me, so when Kelly got there, we were ready to go.
We took advantage of the simplified set up and just sat down with Kelly and shot the breeze. We filled her full of water, hummus, and pita chips and then just talked about everything from life and love to what brought all of us to SXSW this year. As for the specifics of the conversation, well, that's between us. More importantly, we all really bonded in the start of the session, making a very comfortable place for Kelly to give us an intimate and beautiful performance. I've said things about the importance of vibes in my session, and this was a completely organic and unplanned way of doing exactly what I try to focus on in the studio. I wonder if there will ever be an artist I work with where the session goes quite this way and I don't recommend trying to force such a thing. We were just very lucky to all end up in one room together and gel like we did. So, if you are reading about our sessions and taking notes; sincerity is important and comfort is everything. Keeping snacks on hand for your talent and making sure they have everything they need to not feel like something outside of the studio space is pulling them away is key to all of this vibe setting business.
Eventually we solved all matters concerning life, the universe and everything else. With all that behind us, we still had two hours to track. So we parked our lovely little performer in the studio, grabbed her a bottle of water and fine tuned our level and mic positions to fit her now that we had her in position. Once I heard her voice coming in through the mics, I wired in a light reverb on an aux send and sort of formed the sound of the track by blending my three sources within it. I was pretty much instantly happy, having created a mix that, combined with Kelly's performance style, really would finish itself. For the record, all I used on the tracks were the stock standard Pro Tools Channel Strip plugin and the good old D-verb plugin. A little compression dropped behind the D-verb which I set to a short decay and we were in business. We ended up tracking three songs with Kelly: "Fool For You," "Lighting Strikes," and "Say Goodbye." I honestly couldn't have been happier and Kelly herself seemed pleased with the results. More importantly, by the time the session was done, she had faith in us to the point that I don't think she was even particularly concerned with hearing the playback. We ended up just going back into chatting mode and I eventually stepped aside and let Taylor take care of interviewing her. I couldn't have been happier with the results and I was completely confident to hand off to Taylor to let him wrap things up. As for the adventures we had after the session, I'll let Taylor tell you about that too.
-Lonely Paul
While in LA, Kelly was finding out who she was as an artist, and being surrounded by a plethora of artists helped her find her own voice. She found the unique quality to her voice and sound which is country but different enough to be completely her own. She realized that moving back to Nashville was the move to make so she could be around other country artists. "It took me going out to LA to find out who I was as an artist and all my friends told me that Nashville is the place to be for an artist of my particular sound."
"Life inspires me. What I am going through and all my travels are what inspire my music." Being in Austin is another trip which inspires Kelly to write and record her original music. She noted how last year gave her a lot of inspiration to write new material. "Being around other talented artists, watching showcases, and talking to other musicians really inspire me to write and I always look forward to coming to SXSW."
Kelly is sponsored by Sennheiser; a relationship which began at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA and Kelly is excited to be apart of the Sennheiser family. After getting the E945 microphone at NAMM she has taken it on the road with her and used it in her live performances. She commented on how the microphone is durable and road worthy which is great for her and all her travels. "Being on the road, I can be confident with this microphone. I can throw it up against a wall and still rest assured that it will work for me every night on the road."
Kelly was very excited to be on the Mobile Studio recording her original material and we were even more excited to have her on. Kelly is a great artist with a great personality. We will follow Kelly McGrath closely and you guys should too. Find out more about Kelly at kellymcgrathmusic.com.

Hey Abbott! The bumbler and the straight man meet the creatures of the night in this funny film that was said to mark the end of the Universal Monsters era. It didn't happen that way with me, but more on that later. Let's open up the crypt and see if there are still laughs within.
Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) is frantically calling a shipping company to make sure two ominous crates are not delivered to McDougal's (Frank Ferguson) House of Horrors. The phone is answered by Wilbur (Lou Costello) who misunderstands the snarling message thanks to the full moon in London. He's chastised by his partner Chick (Bud Abbott) and it isn't the first or last time.
Chick can't understand what Dr. Sandra Mornay (Lenore Aubert) sees in the pudgy, clumsy Wilber but she says that he has a lovely cranium. Women! Wilbur and Chick deliver the boxes and Wilber discovers that they contain the not-so-dead bodies of Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and Frankenstein (Glenn Strange), who quickly escape and leave McDougal fuming at the boys.
We find out that Sandra is in league with the monsters and wanting to put Wilber's brain in Frankenstein's body. Larry Talbot soon arrives and tries to prevent this horror but Larry turning into the Wolf Man during the full moon makes his assistance a bit hairy.
This may not be the way it really happened but the brain I keep in a jar on the corner of the old review desk tells me it is so, probably unreliably. Most critics' state that A&C meet Frankenstein marks the end of the Universal Monster era. If the monsters can be lampooned by the antics of those two then they've lost their scare power.
However, the way this worked out for my perhaps faulty memory was in reverse in my case. I think the first Universal Monster film I saw was A&C meet Frankenstein, enjoyed it very much, and then went back and discovered those Universal horrors. So thanks Bud and Lou.
Those movies never scared me though, but I found them artistically pleasing and well worth discovering. I think the appeal crosses boundaries since A&C fans get the duo, Universal Monsters get to see them again, and everyone has a coffin full of laughs. The film is a classic in both genres.
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein is presented in a 1080p transfer (1.33:1). Special features include a commentary with historian Gregory W. Mank (A&C meet Mankenstein?), the 33 minute "Abbott and Costello meet the Monsters" about how the success of this film had the comedy duo meeting other creatures (though never as classic as this one), the 2 minute theatrical trailer, and the familiar 100 Years of Universal featurettes: The Lot (9 minutes) and Unforgettable Characters (8 minutes). You also get a DVD and digital copy.
Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein is just plain fun. It has a chill or two, but the comedy keeps you in stitches (or busting them if you've been reassembled from some grave robbing). It's good to see Lugosi in cape again and Chaney bay at the moon as well. Strange is no Boris but still has a fun time hamming it up with Costello.

Additional file 1:
Number of sequences to correct erroneous positions. 1a: this file illustrates the number of sequences necessary to obtain a majority of correct sequences. The x-axis shows the error rate and the y-axis shows the number of sequences needed, according to three possible probabilities: 0.001 0.01 and 0.05. 1b the x-axis shows the error rate for a given position (ranging from 0 to 0.5); the y-axis shows the cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences sampled (ranging from 0 to 0.5) in the total sample. Sample size varies from 10 to 100, 500 and 1,000 sequences. For a given error rate and a cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences in the sample of size N, the probability of observing this combination is indicated in color: green: 1 to 0.95, blue: 0.95 to 0.8, yellow: 0.8 to 0.6, orange: 0.6 to 0.5, red: 0.5 to 0.4, gray: 0.4 to 0.2 and white: below 0.2. For example, if the error rate is 0.2, the probability of observing a cumulative proportion of erroneous sequences in the sample of between 0 and 0.2 ranges between 0.4 and 0.5 (red envelope). In this case, the probability of there being 20% erroneous sequences in the sample is between 0.4 and 0.5. If we consider the same error rate (0.2) with 40% erroneous sequences, then the probability ranges from 0.8 to 0.95 (blue envelope). If N increases, the variance of the probability envelopes decreases.

Distribution of errors along the reference sequences. The blue line represents the proportion of sequences generated (y-axis) according to the sequence position (x-axis), using data obtained from the analysis of reference 5 reference sequences (excluding reference #3, which is displayed in Figure 1). The error rate for each type of error (insertions, deletions, mismatches and ambiguous base calls) is presented as a function of the sequence position (x-axis) and specific position on the y-axis. The position and length of homopolymers for each base is given on the x-axis to facilitate interpretation (green: A, red: T, black: G, blue: C).

Breakdown of error rate variation using all available variables. For each plate, we used a logistic model to decipher the role of each selected variable in explaining the variation of error rate (see materials and methods). The figure is broken down by error type: a) insertions, b) deletions, c) mismatches and d) ambiguous base calls. We tested the deviance from the complete model by breaking down the model into the sum of three terms: the first exclusive to the single effect of the variable considered (in black), the second exclusive effect of the rest of the variables without the variable of interest (in gray) and the last expressing the sum of the effects of interactions between the variable considered and the other variables (in white). The contribution of each term (the proportion) for a considered variable can be viewed on the y-axis. Additional file 3 displays the results for plates #2 and #3 (results from the plate #1 are presented as Figure 2).

Spatial localization of error rate variation. For each error type and the sequence length, the x-axis represents the spatial localization of 454 reads as x-coordinates and the y-axis represents the y-coordinates on the PT plate. The results presented in this additional data file 4 correspond to plates #2 and #3. The strips represent the regions. We display separately the four types of error (insertions, deletions, mismatches and ambiguous base calls) and the length of the generated sequences. Colors represent the ranges of error rates from 0 to 1 (or the length of the sequences from 0 to 500), using a sliding window (see materials and methods).

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Pooch paradise, where champion beagles run free
Anti-puppy mill home to best of breed
NEAR ST. LAURENT -- Had enough of puppy-mill stories?
Meet the anti-puppy mill. These dogs are so happy it's almost criminal.
Male and female beagles are split up and each gender gets their own 258 hectares of fenced-off bush and pasture. They run around chasing rabbits all day, which happens to be a beagle's biggest joy in life. You can almost hear Born Free playing in the background.
"These dogs are bred for the field. We breed for intelligence and physical ability, and for that they need to run. They need a good engine," said Branko Krpan, who runs Branko's Beagles with wife, Frieda, on more than 1,000 hectares near St. Laurent, 80 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
Their dogs are world-famous. The Branko beagles didn't just take first prize at the American Kennel Club field event in New York last year -- North America's biggest dog competition -- they made it a Manitoba sweep: first, second and third prize in their class.
"I don't think there's anyone out there better than them," said criminal lawyer Marty Minuk, who purchased his beagle, Max, from the Krpans. Max runs eight to 11 kilometres a day with Minuk and his wife, Stephanie, who placed fourth among women in the Manitoba Marathon, on daily jogs.
"I've seen a lot of beagles. Nothing compares to theirs," Minuk said.
Branko and Frieda have sold dogs in every state in the United States but Hawaii. They've had customers purchasing their dogs for 35 years. Many of their dogs have gone to Europe, and three people recently visited from Cypress and purchased five dogs.
Their dogs have also been sold to airports in Toronto and the U.S. as sniffing dogs. They are also employed in the prison system in Georgia to track down escapees.
But the couple won't sell to just anyone. They even checked Minuk out first. Physical and mental exercise is a requisite for Branko beagles. Most are purchased as hunting or competition dogs. Only about 10 per cent are sold as regular pets. If you show up and your kids aren't well-behaved, chances are you won't get a dog. If you can't manage your kids, the Krpans figure you can't manage a dog. Their beagles sell for $500.
Another example: A breeder in France wanted to purchase Branko beagles for their bloodlines. The couple travelled to Europe to check out the facilities. No way. "If he'd been operating in Manitoba, he would have been shut down," said Branko.
And they don't think much of the Fluffies and Foo-Foos of the dog world. "We hate show dogs. They only test for looks and beauty, and looks and beauty don't get you anywhere in life," said Branko.
Look up Croatia and you'll probably see a picture of Branko. He looks the stereotypical Croation male: bushy moustache, gruff, raspy-voiced, barrel-chested and a deep bass laugh. He was a judo champion in Croatia when it was under Communist rule and defected during a competition in Vienna.
He landed in Winnipeg at the Empire Hotel and began work in construction. "I didn't have a friend, relative, nobody. I didn't speak any English," he recalled. He bought a rifle with his first paycheque to go hunting and used it to shoot a jackrabbit along the floodway. That was in 1968.
He met and married Frieda Brandes, a Dutch immigrant. "It was love at first sight," she said. "We're proof it happens." They've been together 44 years. Neither came from a farm but they loved the idea of farming. The Interlake, because of low land prices, is just about the only place in Manitoba where people from non-farm backgrounds can actually break into farming.
So that's what they did. They kept sheep and dairy herds and performed the first embryo transfer with dairy cows in Manitoba, even flying to China to perform demonstrations. They eventually went into beef cattle while indulging their love of beagles. The beagles turned into a hobby that eventually covered its costs and then into a business that brought in a second income.
They fell in love with beagles, one of the five most popular breeds in North America, for many reasons, including intelligence. Not all beagles type out stories that begin, "It was a dark and stormy night... " like cartoon beagle Snoopy, but they are very teachable. One Winnipeg woman has taught her Branko beagle to close its eyes and pray with her. "If you stimulate their intelligence, you will have a happy dog," said Frieda.
They are also short-haired, which means you don't have to deal with shedding. They can be stubborn, however. Branko has to rotate beagles in the 258-hectare pens because they will run themselves ragged chasing rabbits, including skipping meals and losing weight. It must be where the term "dogged in pursuit" comes from. For more information, see brankosbeagles.com .

2006 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T Review
Good power, great transmission, good space for people/cargo, amazing standard features
FWD, no LSD, needs a chip to come alive (easily remedied)
Great All Around Fwd Car — Performance wise, it's probably the most fun FWD car you could drive besides a Mini Cooper S or Acura Integra Type R. It does everything very well, nothing amazingly. Good power, but not blistering like a SRT4 or MS3. Great transmission, either the 6MT or DSG. I loved the space it has for people in the back and with the seats down, plenty of cargo room also. Build wise, it's very, very well put together and the quality of materials inside does not leave you doubting your purchase. Gets good gas MPG 26 on average of highway and city. Could be better but I have a heavy foot. It's fun to zip around in and easy to put around in also.

Great all weather handling and gas mileage.
Leg room in the back is almost non existent.
Great Fun Car — I loved the speed and handling of this car. The gas mileage can't be beat and it sounds amazing. When you feel the turbo kick in and you blast buy traffic, there is no better feeling. Handles great in the snow and ice, just need something a little roomier for lifestyle.

2006 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T Review
Loved it. Practical, quick, sporty - just all around great car. I will always be a GTI enthusiast. Only selling because I had to move to Canada. That winter weather and salt would just ruin my baby. I'll buy a Golf R next....someday. heh.
none IMO, might be too compact for some, but honestly....WAAAAAY more room than my mom's Civic or my girlfriend's Vibe GT. I might buy a 4-dr version next time just for convenience.
Unless You Hate Hatches, This Is The Best, And Really Only, "hot Hatch". Nice Zippy Car. — I may be biased, because I love Euro cars, and German hatches and sports cars, but there's no denying that the GTI has always had a dedicated following....and that its just a great all-around car even if you're not an enthusiast. The original MKI, the MKII, and the MKV are arguably the best of them all, (although the latest is also getting great reviews.) Its just the full package. Its not a $60k+ luxury car, or a $200k+ supercar, but a great, quick, practical and sporty compact that does everything you need it to unless you have a family of 8 or need to go off-roading. The interior is great, it doesn't feel cheap, (radio needs an upgrade though...), the handling is great even for a FWD car, and its got enough punch from a 2.0 Turbo engine. its not a gas-guzzler either. What more do I need to say?

The interior of the car is very modern and stylish with the red, black and grey plaid seats.
Sometimes the trunk will be automatically lock when you stop and get out of the car, requiring you to use the key fob to unlock it.
Great Car For A Young Person — This car is such a fun car! Very zippy and fast, it handles great and is very stylish. The back seats fold down all of the way so the car is big enough to camp/sleep in and can carry a lot. The car is also very comfortable to drive and/or ride in for long periods of time.

Quick car, handles very well.
If abused, repair costs can be very high
The Best Gti Made To Date. — This car is very surprising. It is much more capable than it may appear. It is built very well and you know you got what you paid for when you get in and close the door. Tons of room in the back as well.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Handling, Powerband, size, looks.
Warranty could be longer (100,000 miles), dealers are very good or very bad.
Mkv Volkswagen Gti — She's a riot! You can load it up with furniture saturday, and then take it to the track Sunday, it'll get you over 30MPG if you drive normally as well. Repairs can be a bit costly, but that's no different than most imports, build quality and reliability have been good so far, with only one issue during my warranty period so far. Got to try the DSG transmission atleast once, don't just automatically go for the stick..

a lot
not mush
My Gti — It is great to drive very solid and fast enough. Road holding is one of its best features and in it class it has great comfort. It is not a Porches when it comes to performance or a Roles Royse when it comes to comfort but for the price it has the best all round package available.

bit under power
Golf 5 Gti (dsg) — Perfomance was ok they could make a bit faster Built qualilty was great no rattles, handle like a dream Looks very nice You'll get good consumtion if you drive slow(7l/100 km) but if you oush it dont expect nothing good.I had no hazles with the only sevices, tyres and brake pads replaced and under motor plan...

2006 Volkswagen GTI 2.0T Review
Fun to drive, DSG trans is farily good, decent fuel economy [on 93 octane], low end torque.
Dealer network & knowledge is BAD, DSG trips itself up frequently, TSBs not getting fixed [thanks to knowledgeless dealers], modifications [if desired] are expensive and *can* cause more problems.
2006 Mkv Gti — *Performance is fairly good. Acceleration with the DSG transmission is pretty good, and the brakes do a decent job of bring the car to a halt. Handling is very good, given the high ride height and stance on the car. *The build quality is... typical Volkswagen. You'll have plenty of rattles [as I did], though some of them seemed to have worked or worn themselves out. The dealership I bought the car from "cannot find" the TSB for the subframe bolt issue. The subframe bolts stretch over time and cause a loud CREAK when changing directions. Sure doesn't inspire confidence. *The appearance of the GTI looks much better now that I ditched the ugly honeycomb grilles & red grille stripe for a Golf GT conversion [painted gloss black]. That german paint isn't as 'high quality' as some lead you to believe. *Cost is a tad high. It's a Volkswagen, not a BMW or Mercedes. Fuel economy is so-so, high 20s/low 30s. The leather interior [which mine does not have] is nice, but pricey. Most people I speak with prefer the Interlagos plaid. * I think the car is fun to drive... as in just drive one, don't own one. If you're an enthusiast that doesn't mind his car making noises or having little issues that would drive any sane person nuts, you've found your new car. If you're a person who views their car as another appliance in your life, go look at a Mini Cooper.

after applying insecticide, how long should I wait before applying milorganite? st. Augustine grass in north florida..thanks for any advice...bz
Lol. That's kind of like asking how soon after joining AA can you drink again.
Bad analogy. Insecticides may retard the growth of the microorganisms that break down the organic matter in Milorganite. You can put down Milorganite anytime, it just might take longer for your lawn to get some of the nutritional benefits.
