A reward is being offered for any information that will lead authorities to whoever slashed several farm animals, including a 2-month-old calf, this past week at Frying Pan Farm Park's Kidwell Farm in Herndon.
The calf, two goats and a chicken were cut with a sharp object, presumably a knife, between 5 p.m. May 26 and 7 a.m. May 27, according to police. The bottle-fed calf, Henry, required several stitches on the top of his head.
"Before this incident, he had absolutely no reason to fear humans," said Lucy Caldwell, Fairfax County Police spokesperson.
"Although this incident was deeply disturbing and very saddening, the community has remained positive while coming together to support the injured animals," said Judy Pedersen, Fairfax County Park Authority spokesperson. "Park Authority leadership and the Park Authority Board are extremely grateful for this outpouring of support, and Frying Pan staff wants everyone to know that the animals are healing quickly and doing well."
The attacks came almost a month to the day after three horses were found slashed and stabbed at the same facility. The horse have since made a full recovery, but authorities are perplexed at the motive of the two incidents, which might be related.
No other property damage or vandalism was evident in either incident and nothing appeared to be stolen, police said.
"Harming these young animals seeks to be the only thing the perpetrator in each incident was after," Caldwell said. "All the animals are recovering quite well, but we do not want to see this happen again."
On Monday, Jack Pitzer of the nonprofit Frying Pan Park Friends board, announced a $7,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator or perpetrators.
"These are very serious crimes, "Caldwell said. "Police are still investigating but we hope this reward might motivate someone to come forward.
Anyone with information to provide is asked to contact Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

This is a truly stunning work. Really, really good!
I am new on here but would like say your work is fantastic :)
Wow the matching tattoo and hair, the fish in the hair, the use of black and white skin- the balance in this piece is amazing! Your work is an inspiration.
I saw that yours and others artwork has been stolen from http://instagram.com/artoncase . Check it out. Maybe A watermark of some sort could prevent that...
I was thinking if s6 put a watermark on everything before purchasing and take it of after...Like that no one want to use another ones work.....
No watermarks please!! I appreciate your help with the stolen case but unfortunately this kind of thing will continue to happen, regardless of wether people start using watermarks or not. A thieving company that thinks it can really make money on a design, is going to get their hands on it quite easily, even if that means them making a one off purchase of a smaller print. Watermarks just serve to make work look ugly. I feel very strongly about this and really hope S6 keep our work watermark free.
Your work is really amazing. I love the simple color palette and details you put :)
I'm in love with your work!!
such a beautiful piece
This is absolutely phenomenal!!! The line work and the shapes are so original and so beautiful. This is incredibly detailed and really just stunning.

Here are 3 styles that are used in coaching:
This is an autocratic way of getting your point across. It is bossy and to the point. No asking questions, simply telling players what you think and how to do things. Although this sounds overpowering it has its uses, especially when giving half-time team talks when there is not much time to analyse.
The command style is useful when initially stamping your authority on a group of players and can be used at your discretion when you feel order needs to be attained.
This is a democratic way of coaching and relies on the players responding to find the answers to the questions that you are asking them. It is used primarily when coaching kids and has the benefit of raising their confidence when they answer correctly and makes them feel involved.
This style is still used in the professional game as well, as it is a way of getting feedback from your players and seeing their point of view in various situations on the pitch.
This is basically a step further from the 'question and answer' style as you allow the players to show you instead of telling you.
Again, this is primarily used when coaching kids and is a great way of increasing participation and confidence within the group you are coaching. Instead of squeezing answers out of your group, you will let them actively show you the answer to the question you are posing.
All in all, it is a combination of these styles that will bring you most success when coaching your group of players and your discernment and experience will help you decide which styles to adopt and when. Your decisions will be based on and influenced by the group's age, ability and attitude.

Office of Weights and Measures
Your Most Frequently Asked Questions As valued customers and consumers, the State Office of Weights and Measures has compiled your most frequently asked questions and brief answers to help you comply with New Jersey's laws and regulations governing weights and measures.
Who should register a weighing and/or measuring device? Everyone who operates or uses a weighing and/or measuring device for commercial purposes within the State of New Jersey should register their device(s) with the State. You are operating the device for commercial purposes if you use the device for the purchase or sale of any commodity. A commodity is defined as any article of food, drink, trade or commerce, or any service or amusement, goods, wares, merchandise or fuel measured by any weighing and measuring or counting system. How do I register my device(s) with the State Office of Weights and Measures? To register the device(s), you must obtain and complete a Registration Application from either the State Office of Weights and Measures or county or municipal offices of weights and measures. Click here for a complete list of telephone numbers of state, county and municipal offices of weights and measures. To download the application form from our Web Site, click here. Yes. To determine the correct amount of the Registration Fees that you have to submit with the Registration Application, please refer to the Registration Fee Schedule, which became effective on September 19, 2005. To download the Registration Fee Schedule from our Web Site, click here. The fees depend upon the type and number of devices located at your business. For example:
I am the operator or user of a noncommercial weighing and measuring device. Should I register the device? That depends. Although New Jersey's weights and measures laws do not require you to register a device that is used for noncommercial purposes, the inspection and testing of that device by a Weights and Measures officer may be advantageous to you if you need a certified device. To get that device inspected and tested by a Weights and Measures officer, you must complete the Registration Application and pay the proper fees. To download the Registration Application from our Web site, click here. To download the Fee Schedule, please click here. How do I add or remove a device, used for commercial purposes, from the Registration Records of my business? Complete a Registration Application for the new device and submit the same with the appropriate Registration Fees to the State Office of Weights and Measures. If you need to remove a device from the Registration Records of your business, write a letter to the State Office of Weights and Measures identifying the device to be removed. Will I receive a notice in the mail stating that I have paid my annual Registration Fees for the weighing and measuring devices and that my devices are registered? Yes. You will receive a Registration Certificate in the mail within two to six weeks after the State Office of Weights and Measures has received your Registration Application and the appropriate Registration Fees. That Registration Certificate should be conspicuously posted at your place of business, where the weighing and measuring devices are located. If the measuring and measuring device is installed on a vehicle, the Registration Certificate shall be carried in the vehicle. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in penalties. What should I do if I do not receive my Registration Certificate? If you do not receive the Registration Certificate, you should call the State Office of Weights and Measures' Registration Section at (732)815-4866. If I register my device(s) once, do I have to register again the following year? Yes. You are required by New Jersey law to renew the registration of all commercial weighing and measuring devices prior to the expiration date of your current Registration Certificate. I did not renew the registration of my weighing and measuring device(s) by the due date. Do I have to pay a late fee? Yes. You must pay a late fee of $10 per device in addition to the Registration Fee to get the devices registered. In the interim, you may also be subject to a penalty of not less than $100 per device, plus court costs, for operating unregistered weighing and measuring devices for commercial purposes. Is there a penalty if I do not register my device(s) at all? Yes. If you fail to register weighing and measuring devices used for commercial purposes, you may be subject to a penalty of not less than $100 per device, plus court costs. What is the purpose of unit pricing? The purpose of unit pricing is to tell you the cost per "UNIT OF MEASURE" such as per pound or per quart or per pint or per 100 count. How do businesses decide which "UNIT OF MEASURE" to use for various commodities? For many household commodities, New Jersey regulations prescribe which "UNIT OF MEASURE" is to be used for certain type of commodities. For example, the approved "UNIT OF MEASURE" for coffee is "Pound"; the approved "UNIT OF MEASURE" for liquid detergent is "Quart," and the approved "UNIT OF MEASURE" for plastic and paper bags is "100 Count." How can I get the most for my money by using Unit Pricing? You can get the most for your money by comparing the Unit Prices shown on the UNIT PRICE LABELS for different brands of the same item and purchasing the item with the lowest UNIT PRICE. All big supermarkets and department stores are required to display the UNIT PRICE LABELS on shelves or on signs where a particular regulated commodity is being offered for sale. If the UNIT PRICE LABEL is incorrect or missing, ask the manager to rectify the situation. If the problem cannot be resolved, contact the State Office of Weights and Measures at (732) 815-4840. |

St. Louis Cardinals (28-15)
To date no team has played better on the road than St. Louis. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

The Cardinals' home field is being turned into a soccer field for an international exhibition game between Manchester City and Chelsea on Thursday.
Texas Rangers (29-15)
Before his Sunday start Derek Holland was going step-for-step with Yu Darvish this season. (Photo by Rick Yeatts/Getty Images)

Elvis Andrus went 5-for-5 against the Tigers and was a home run shy of cycle. The Rangers beat the Tigers 7-2 in that game.
New York Yankees (27-16)
Curtis Granderson is back. Now if the Yankees can get Mark Teixeira back they should be in even better shape. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)

Teixeira said he had his first at-bats since March at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla. and hopes to return by the end of May.
Cincinnati Reds (26-18)
Alfredo Simon's turnaround since arriving in Cincinnati is still one of the least-talked-about aspects of the Reds bullpen. (Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images)

Bronson Arroyo and the Reds shutout the Phillies 10-0.
Arizona Diamondbacks (25-19)
Didi Gregorius has been every bit as good as the D'Backs hoped. (Photo by Marc Serota/Getty Images)

Brandon McCarthy went the distance against the Marlins on Saturday to earn his first victory as a Diamondback, 1-0.
Cleveland Indians (25-17)
The most surprising aspect of the Indians season? Mark Reynolds, Mike Aviles, and Carlos Santana combine for more stolen bases than Michael Brantley and as many as Michael Bourn. (Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images)

 The Tribe beat the Mariners on Monday in 10 innings to complete the four-game sweep at home.
Pittsburgh Pirates (26-18)
Remember when Russell Martin got off to a slow start? So much for that. (Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images)

 The Pirates are on the verge of overtaking the Reds for the league lead in strikeouts with 330 so far this season.
Boston Red Sox (27-17)
This is not the kind of contract year start Jacoby Ellsbury wanted. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

Jon Lester gave up five earned runs on seven hits in 6 inning for his first loss of the season against the Chicago White Sox.
Atlanta Braves (25-18)
While Justin Upton has cooled off (relatively), the Braves are still waiting on B.J. Upton to get going. (Photo by Scott Cunningham/Getty Images)

The Braves' Eric O'Flaherty will meet with Dr. Andrews to determine if he will need to undergo Tommy John surgery that will end his season.
Tampa Bay Rays (23-20)
The only team with a worse record in one-run games than the Rays? The Astros. (Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images)

David Price went on the 15-day disabled list with a left triceps strain and is expected to make a healthy return.
Baltimore Orioles (23-20)
Jason Hammel's poor start continues. (Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images)

Orioles closer Jim Johnson blew his third straight save attempt and the Orioles have lost six straight games.
San Francisco Giants (24-20)
An interesting storyline to watch as the season progresses: Will the Giants attempt to upgrade their bench? (Photo by Jason O. Watson/Getty Images)

Trailing 6-0 in the fourh inning, the Giants rallied with eight unanswered runs to beat the Rockies 8-6.
Washington Nationals (23-21)
Ian Desmond is showing last year wasn't a total fluke. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Nationals placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain and recalled catcher Jhonatan Solano from Triple-A.
Detroit Tigers (23-19)
Miguel Cabrera's three-home run performance highlighted an otherwise disappointing Sunday night loss. (Photo by Rick Yeatts/Getty Images)

Justin Verlander allowed eight runs on six hits in just 2 2/3 innings in a 10-4 loss to Texas.
Colorado Rockies (24-20)
Concerning trend or small-sample fluke? The Rockies have played well against sub-.500 teams, but were 8-16 entering the weekend versus better-than-.500 teams. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Rockies right fielder/first baseman Michael Cuddyer could rejoin the major league roster by the end of the week if all things go well at extended spring training.
Oakland Athletics (23-22)
Playoff teams typically fatten up at home. The A's haven't so far. (Photo by Jason O. Watson/Getty Images)

The Oakland A's rallied for the third straight time to beat the Royals and sweep the series.
Philadelphia Phillies (21-23)
Delmon Young hasn't played well, but the interesting thing is a beefed up walk rate from a player not known for taking free passes. (Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images)

The Phillies Cole Hamels struck out 10 Marlins batters, but that wasn't enough as the Marlins beat the Phillies 5-1.
(Photo by Hunter Martin/Getty Images)
Kansas City Royals (20-20)
The Royals continue to slide, in part because they haven't scored enough runs for James Shields. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)

In addition to Alex Gordon, Jarrod Dyson, Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar the Royals have now tried David Lough in the leadoff batting order spot this season.
Seattle Mariners (20-24)
The Mariners took heat for signing Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay. So far both are producing at modest costs. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

Brendan Ryan, Raul Ibanez and Justin Smoak each hit a home run late in the game against the Indians, but the Mariners lost the game on a walk-off home run.
Minnesota Twins (18-22)
Minnesota's bullpen has been the bright spot of their pitching staff. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

Burch Smith's second big-league start lasted longer than his first but included three home-runs allowed. (Photo by Denis Poroy/Getty Images)

By allowing brands to enter a storyworld, they become peers and friends. When done thoughtfully and seamlessly (in other words, it adds to the story fabric and doesn't trigger the "oh look, product placement" inner voice in the viewer's head) it transforms what is essentially 'advertising' into WOM. 14% of people believe ads from the source; 77% believe WOM. Very powerful shift.

The media isn't the message (and Jeff Gomez never says that). It is the grand disrupter, the gamechanger, the brain bender. The innovations in media technologies have upended traditional storytelling across all industries and challenged storytellers to learn new tools. Media technologies and network connectivity have also, as Gomez points out, rewired consumer's brain with a new set of assumptions and expectation about the function and role of media. Where media becomes part of the message, is in how it frames content within that set of expectations and meanings. Our expectations of content, impact and interactivity are vastly different across platforms, i.e. mobile versus the big screen or web versus TV or digital versus paper. The new environment as Gomez notes, demands integration of expectations in the content design

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight,

This exciting exhibit underscores the blending of boundaries between art and technology (along with hints of potentials in storytelling to come). When my daughter went to Parsons to get an MFA in exactly that--Design and Technology, I can see that at the time, as cool as I thought it was, I didn't understand the full magnitude of that kind of degree. Do we handicap our kids by thinking about subjects to study in the ways we always have--in silos--rather than integrative? We're concerned about encouraging the study of STEM skills particularly among girls but do we talk about them as part of the arts? Or mention that there is no engineering without design? (as in, engineer what?) Parents/Mentors/Anybody--if you're near this exhibition, take your or somebody else's kids (with permission, of course). Talk to them about the stories the creators are trying to tell AND talk to them about how those cool things are a product of science, technology AND art, integrated into a powerful thing. Tell them that every art lesson can be translated by technology and every science lesson can be expressed in some kind of art or design. (You'll be introducing them to the unsung hero of every venture--art or science--user experience.) Science, like art, exists as expressions of human creativity for the (presumed) betterment of humanity. Every human experience is a story.

"Hey, its Tara, so its good."
I like these Talk to Tara segments. You get to hear interviews with the authors and leaders in their areas. Tara takes in what each one says openly, thus providing a well rounded presentation. Its always pleasent and interesting, and that's because its Tara. The empowering concepts presented are good to hear about and if you want to investigate further, you have choices. Thanks Tara!
"Sadly, my worst recommendation - Not Recommended"
More of a chatty poorly scripted talk show segment than a profession audio book based on the hard copy, so Not Recommended. Sloppy, drifted from the book, with lots of rambling conversation. Title is purposefully misleading, as hardly any of making money is in the content. Bob Proctor was just in the beginning sections, so again more misleading the consumer by the producers. Poor and sloppy editing. Long gaps of silence. Supposedly new age/quantum/law of attraction advice, but continous and increasingly repetitive references to god, god spirit, etc. Cheap back door reference to not listen to other authors such as the "Hicks" products, because of use of an entity, but then goes right into constant god references. Also noted some content rehashed from "Hicks" presentations of the theme, but poorly replicated. Frequent off the path rambling by author. Scattered, briefly touched upon topics, into many diverse areas without any substantial explanations or foundations. Suppossedly 5 levels of enlightenment, which really turned out to be several vague levels of elitism, sublimially promoted in constantly growing religious "christian/christ" theme. One would have to be already well versed in the real topics to understand what was poorly presented, so I would recommend other avenues to learn about the subject. (Which again, is not even described in the title or beginning of the work.) Poor construction of material and presentation. More of a friendly non focused off the cuff discussion by author - not a well prepared audio version of a book. Author lost the point on many occasions, and simply joked through it. Needed frequent redoing or editing, but left as is, in poor draft quality. I would be fired for producing such poor work. 45 minutes of promotional product selling at the end. Now, I did appreciate the informality of the product, but not the sloppy production, which is unfortunately what you'll remember. Now the author sounds like a nice person, very bubbly, down-under, sexy, sincere, and excited about the presentation, but that's now why you pay full price for a professional audio book. So this is overpriced simply because of poor quality, lack of editing/redoing, and unfocused presentation. The blatent scattered rambling/selling of products at the end, was a bit embarrassing to listen too. It would be OK if you knew about this when purchasing and still purchased, but being mislead to purchase this sloppy product, makes this a not-recommended product. Just a poor product, riding on the tail of "The Secret." You can do so much much better for yourself with other authors and products. Sorry to the author and producers, but they should have never released something that is clearly only in early-draft quality, as a finished full-priced audio guide. Embarrassing.
"An about everything kinda book, with a slight bias"
This one is ok, presented well, and I liked the presentation and the author, and narration of the team. Breaks it up from having one speaker the entire book. Appreciated the effort of gathering the knowledge presented, and when to say "I don't understand."
Now this tells you about the DNA, Universe, religion, myths.... type thing. Giving the science side of the house. All valid stuff and good. So if you've never listened to one of these "everything about everything" volumes then I recommend it, and learned a few more things. The slight bias is to describe how the science point of view is correct, and once you get past the stories, myths, and non-logic of the other beliefs, the science presented is "what's really true." But that is what their theme is, so its on path with the sub-title. So, between the vast amount of science info, intermixed with the stated bias, its a lot of info and an interesting listen. I follow the science side of the house myself, but I also know that, 'what you believe is what's true for you and how you perceive the universe,' so... there's that. Enjoy, I recommend it.
"Never finished - So far."
Interesting. I listened to the first half, then realized I listened to that part once earlier, then remembered it was about the same stuff I listened to in the short review months ago. The first real exercises are good, I wrote them down at work. Then forgot and relistened and did them in my head, listening in the car. I've been meaning to get back to it, and I will. I just keep forgetting. I know that its not funny, but that's reality. I will listen to the rest, and do the rest of the exercises. I need it and I think it can help. Then I'll give a follow-up, if I remember to do both. I gave it half stars until I finish it all, but the first half should have all 5 stars for every category. I'm working on it Ron!
"Interesting and OK"
I expected something slightly different, but then again how would I know what to expect from this. It covered a lot of areas and topics and not just about what happens to your body right after you pass. What they do with donated bodies was interesting and a big part of the story. But it really helped my perspective on this topic and gave me a better knowledge base. It has some typical filler and conversation within, but I think the author did the work required to investigate the subject well, and its appreciated. If you're interested, then go ahead and get it. It will be enlightening.
"Modest, with some flaws at the end."
If you haven't read anything about the brain, layout, and functions, then this would be an interesting first introduction. Performance was a little dull after about halfway through. The story was ok, because it was more story and discussion, then step by step. Generally the same info I've heard before so I'm biased I guess. I would have preferred more on the How-To in more detailed steps, with reinforcing info on how to accomplish 'the strategies.' Ya know, sometimes I wonder if there is some service that sells authors 'canned' examples and history stories of cases and people because I've heard some of this in other books. Towards the later parts of the book, I think they got tired of doing it, and just filled in general info. Seemed to be a drag to the ending. With the extremely unending examples of BBKing and his career as a great brain example to follow, I was sort of wondering if they had much ammo left. Then the last quarter was just endless repeats of the same info summaried over and over and over again. Some clear mistakes of repeating the same examples for fillers. I didn't totally trash it, as noted from my first comments, but I wouldn't mind if all the neurons associated with this one, would disconnect so I can forget it.
"Sure, get this."
It's just what you think. Discussing facial and body language and some tips and tricks to interact with it, and use it. Typical stuff of naming a star when discussing a certain body language trait, and going deeper how this depicts their lifestyle then I would have thought. Then he adds in some deeper stuff about how it reflects parts of the viewer. The last section is almost like a few afterthought hightlights thrown in that could have been more chapters and a longer book. I gather its some rehashing of earlier stuff, with the Star thing added in to promote the book. However, I liked it, liked the extras, and recommend it. Unless you are already beyond the level of this book, and therefore, you wouldn't be reading this review anyway. Fast easy listen, well spoken, and produced.
"Good info to know about"
Overall, I recommend this listen. If you got here, you have some interest in the topic, so its worth it to go all the way and order it. Some dry spots, and dry case studies, but overall good info spread across the book. You'll get your first longevity key earlier on, and a good summary at the end. This description, summary, and modern update comment, to the previous 'longevity study' has some surprising outcomes. Now this book doesn't tell you how to go about changing yourself to be like the personality types that did the best (lived longest). That would take several other guides and a lot of effort. But this book does tell you the types and behaviors of those people that lived longer. Its always up to you to make changes accordingly. The book makes some suggestions for society and hopes that lessons learned will be incorporated, but I wouldn't wait for the outside world to do that. There is enough in this guide to help you in a more correct path to living longer. And the common pitfalls of incorrect thinking and info you think you already have. Plus its interesting. I'll wait a week or so then replay the summary. Go for it.
"Its a good followup to and about the movie."
Granted, not a whole lot new, but stuff that went on in the creation of the movie and how they went down the process of making the movie, even using some of their own techniques. If you are into it, and you liked "The Secret" and this Movie, then get the book and have fun listening. The technical underneath it all is still in there. And even most in science don't know what to make of this new understanding of life and what this book touches on. And if you are indeed into "it," you will want to have listened to this. No one can tell you what you can get out of it but you. If you haven't seen the movie, you have to first of course, before this book, or you may be lost. Do both. If you already get "it" get this too.
"Great, so get it."
The scope is focused and its helpful. I mean any bit of stress you can manage, relieve, or become aware about (which is what this book is about) is worth its weight in gold. The worksheets that you can get are simple and work. This will help you understand stress and breakdown what the stress is really all about, helping you move away from it, and recognize it for bad thinking, and how to get around it. How much effort you put into the work afterwards is always up to you. A nice companion website I recommend and the discussion/message forum is good for support. The author will even respond to you on its facebook page. Time for me to listen again and do more of the work. Get this one if you are looking for improvement.
"Get it. I mean its even Free!"
Get it and listen for yourself. Its free and worth the short story that you can listen to on the commute home in one day. Really, just get it.

At Margaux, his own restaurant right in the centre of Berlin , Michael Hoffmann makes vegetables the stars of his dishes and uses his expert knowledge of ingredients to create exceptional cuisine.
Since acquiring a garden in 2010, Michael Hoffmann has ramped up his efforts to demonstrate how exciting and multifaceted vegetables can be in high-end gastronomy. This was his passion long before locally produced vegetables came into fashion, and it has made Hoffmann one of the most individual of all German chefs. Hoffmann experiments with different harvesting times and cultivates old, almost forgotten varieties, discovering new ways of preparing them in his kitchen and allowing many traditional flavours to shine in a completely new light. In addition to his pure vegetable menu, Hoffmann also offers a 'normal' menu featuring fascinating meat and fish accents, in which the vegetables are never mere accompaniments but bring democracy to the plate.
Hoffmann works with extreme precision and in a reductive style to create exact flavours. For his aubergine with coriander and Jerusalem artichoke, the aubergine is candied for several weeks then caramelised in olive oil, which produces a kind of dried fruit that unleashes totally new flavours in combination with the smoked Jerusalem artichoke purée, crispy salad stalks and a coriander emulsion. The seasonal vegetable platter, served with an intense vegetable bouillon, has become his signature dish. Cooking all the vegetables individually brings out each of their characters in a wonderful way, allowing their separate flavours to shine through and to combine together to capture the essence of the season.

SIRIUS SC-HI Written By HENRY B., VALLEJO;CA on Saturday, November 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) THE SIRIUS SC-HI AMP WORKS GREAT.VERY EASY TO CONNECT TO THE YAMAHA R-S700 AMP. Pros: EASE OF CONNECTION. PULLS IN SIGNAL REALLY GOOD. Cons: NONE FOUND.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By Mike, Birmingham, AL on Monday, September 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy setup. You really have to enjoy satellite music, to warrant additional subscription to sirius/xm. Pros: Installation Cons: Subscription cost
Sirius SC-H1 Written By Scott L, Virginia Beach, VA on Monday, May 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We are really happy with this Sirius SC-H1. We have it connected to Onkyo T-4555 Multi-Platform Tuner. We bought the SC-H1 to replace an XM mini tuner we had for about 2.5 years. When the XM tuner failed, we discovered it was no longer in production. We listen to Sirius radio throughout our house - on the deck, in the kitchen, den, master bedroom and master bathroom. We do not use the antenna included with this Sirius tuner as we have an antenna mounted to our roof. I do receive station, artist and song title information throughout my house via my Onkyo T-4555. Pros: Installation was quick and easy. I also recommend purchasing the 3-year warranty. Cons: No cons to report currently.
Serius SC-HI Written By Bill J, Euclid ohio on Friday, April 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The SC-HI is very simple to hook up. Just plug it in and use it. Of course you need to activate the XM unit by calling Serius XM. The XM unit works perfectly fine. My only complaint is that the sound quality is less than I expected. My FM radio sounds great. My CD player sounds great. The sound quality is different from station to station. I called Serius and they admit it needs to be reset from there end every now and then. So it is what it is. Very important that the antenna face south. It's weather proof so you can mount it outside. It does work well outside. Pros: Easy to hook up. Plug and play. And thank you Crutchfield team. Cons: Sound quality just OK.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By SteveB, West Deptford, NJ on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought a new home Sirius-Ready home tuner and bought the SC-H1. Has it's own plug on back of tuner. Just plug in antenna and power. As soon as I turned on tuner and switched to Sirius the welcome page popped up. All I did was call and activate and I had Sirius! This was the easiest part of hooking up the new system.! Also antenna has long cord but I have mine on shelf near window for now and it works pretty good though I am going to mount outside Pros: Easy hook up. Long antenna cord for mounting away from unit. Compact size Cons: None so far
Works fine, but my display is lacking Written By Carl, Spring, TX on Monday, February 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Functionally, this little tuner really gets the job done. The only thing I miss is seeing the artist and song information, but that's probably a limitation of my receiver. SiriusAM in the home is great! Pros: Easy to install, hides behind the receiver Cons: I do not get artist and song information with this receiver
Sirius SC-H1 Written By Anthony, Staten Island, N.Y. on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I connected this unit to an Onkyo TX-SR608 Sirius Ready Receiver and it works great! I have the antenna by the window facing the direction the manual recommends. Just take the time to aim the antenna properly to get the best signal possible. Pros: Easy to hook up. Cons: NONE
Easy set-up Written By Bob, Mineola, NY on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I connected this to a satellite ready Yamaha R-S500 receiver. Set-up, activation and ease of use are great. You do have to allow for at least 3 more wires (adapter, coax, and DIN) behind your system and a small place to put the tuner. Once set-up it's completely integrated and operation is seamless. Pros: Easy set-up, activation & functionality Cons: More wires and the dedicated tuner doesn't have the flexibility of a Sirius faceplate receiver that can be used in multiple locations.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By Steve T., Owensboro,Ky. on Thursday, August 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sirius tuner works great, too bad it's not a little more lightning proof.The best part of this transaction is dealing with Crutchfield. Professional people, professional service, such a pleasure to deal with people like that when you need help.
Sirius home tuner Written By g alter, Fort Wayne on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installation was easy and worked fine. Antenna placement was tricky but it did work from inside Pros: Works fine with my Onkyo Receiver Cons: Used supplied power adapter to power Tuner, my Onkyo does not power as i thought it would. Not a real problem, I just misunderstood what I read about the Onkyo. Audio worked fine through the Onkyo with the cable supplied with this tuner.
SiriusHomeConnect better than mobile Written By DougM2, Levittown, NY on Sunday, June 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Home Connect gives Sirius programming an improved playback experience. One touch on, and seamless interaction with my A/V receiver's tools and remote are convenient and intuitive. There just might be better gain in signal strength! Pros: Integrated control with Sirius-ready audio gear. Cons: My audio gear doesn't supply A/C power through the DIN cable.
Great Product! Written By DRUSS, Fairgrove, Mi on Monday, June 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great. hooked it up to our Onkyo receiver in the shop. Pros: Easy hook up. Cons: None
sirius tuner Written By zoot, HB, ca on Friday, February 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) what can one say, you have no other way to use the new "Sirius" ready receivers with out this product. After saying all that I still bought 2 of these units. Their product has never quit on me and the antenna is a snap to hook up. If you are ever serious about Sirius you'll need one for each radio.
Doesn't last long. Written By Mike H., Ocean County, NJ on Saturday, December 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have it paired with an DTR-8 and utilize the optical digital audio input. Sound is exceptional. Like the small size. The unit does not last very long. I am on my 3RD one within five years. Added the extended 3-yr warranty for an additional 10 bucks on the last one ordered. Wish they would just sell the replacement unit. Paying for the power source, cables and antenna is ridiculous. It's used almost 24-7, still no reason for such a short life. Pros: Small size, optical digital audio output. Cons: Does not last long. Includes unnecessary components.
Great little upgrade Written By MikeP, Manassas VA on Sunday, June 26, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been putting off buying this for a long time. I regret not buying it sooner. I bought it for my Integra preamp and it works flawlessly. The install took a whole 5 minutes and I was up and running. I highly recommend getting an outdoor antenna as I did just so you don't have a little box sitting on your window. Other than that, you'll love this little tuner.
Works, but short lived Written By Lisa, Little Elm on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my 3rd SIRIUS SC-H1 unit in 2 years. The 1st one had a short in it and was replaced right away. The 2nd one worked for nearly 2 years and then stopped working. I'm on my 3rd one and bought the extended warranty with it because it is such a poor quality product and the warranty is cheaper than the expected replacement. I still love my Sirius radio and a have a lifetime subscription so it is a necessary evil. Just wish Sirius put out quality electronics.
Great tuner Written By Dave, Mid Mo on Friday, February 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Hooked this up to my Onkyo home theater that is Sirius ready. Works awesome.
great tuner Written By Christopher, Mendon, MI on Monday, November 29, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) bought this tuner for my yamaha rx-v1065. it works perfectly, and sounds awsome.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By Mike, Indianapolis, IN on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product, performs as described, at a great price
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By Kevin, Garfield, WA on Friday, July 23, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great little product, would strongly recommend if buying a receiver that supports the service. I am sure glad I did. My only hang up and it is probably related to my location, but I had a bit of trouble trying to get a good signal. I would guess most won't but because of the trees in my area, and lack of open sky, I struggled. Well worth it though once I found a place. I only wish I had gotten involved with sirius earlier, commerical free!!
Sirius SC-H1 Written By Paul, San Diego, CA on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product. Suggest connecting it to an outdoor antenna for maximum reception using the outdoor antenna offered on the Sirius website. I used the Cable TV/Satellite radio antenna using coaxial cable. Connected it to my Sony AV Receiver and it worked perfectly.
Sirius Listening Written By Lee, Las Vegas, NV on Sunday, January 25, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I suggest if you get this tuner you also get a stereo that has a direct hook-up using the din cable. This way you have a display and control through your stereo tuner. I'm not sure how it would work using a RCA cable. The antenna works great. I have it on a table in my bedroom next to a wall with no window nearby. No problem with the reception. The first SC-H1 tuner I got died within an hour. I called Crutchfield and they had a new one mailed immediately. They gave me a return lable via e-mail. I recieved the new tuner in two days. I'm very happy with the tuner and with Crutchfield.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By chris, jenks ok on Saturday, January 24, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice addition to new Onkyo receiver I purchased from Crutchfield. I was pleasantly surprised no problem getting signal. Was told I would have to mount near window and almost returned. Decided to hook up placed antenna on mantle above cabinet and was surprised to pick up signal. Easy hook up and set up with new receiver.
SIRIUS SC-H1 Written By Richard, Westchester NY on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nifty little item. If you are ready to take your satellite radio out of your car this might be for you. I happen to have a satellite ready receiver and the interface works very well. You can see all the satellite info through the receiver and or the television (it will display over what you are watching if you choose). You can also hook it up to non-satellite ready receivers but I would guess you do not get any visual information about what you are listening too. It hooked up easily and received a signal easily (I was pleasantly surprised). The last little pleasant surprise was the cable to the antenna was thin enough to simply close my window on with no problem. So I didn't need to snake the wire or drill a hole to get the antenna outside out side to get the best signal. The antenna will work through the window but you really need a pretty good angle at the sky. I would recommend this device and I would also recommend crutchfield, if their price is close to the other guys, you are not going to get better technical support anywhere. They pick up the phone right away and (in America) and don't get off until they solve your problem) I would recommend this product (especially if your receiver is sat ready) and, by the way sirrus only charges 1/2 price for your second radio

Rate increase on the horizon for IMD customers
Delaine FragnoliManaging Editor
A year after they put a decision about a rate increase for waste services in Eastern Plumas on hold - pending a management audit of Intermountain Disposal - the supervisors purposefully ignored the very report they said they needed to make the decision.
By ignoring the audit, which gave IMD and Feather River Disposal a clean bill of health, they could move ahead with the rate increase process, seemingly motivated by compassion for the long-suffering Ricky Ross of IMD, who originally asked for the rate increase for the 2008 - 09 year.
At the time they asked for the audit, supervisors had conducted the required public hearing for raising rates in IMD's service area. They were set to have the first reading of the ordinance that would enact the rate change when they put the brakes on.
At a meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14, county counsel Craig Settlemire advised the supervisors that if they used the now completed audit report to make their decision about the rate increase, they would have to back up and start the customer notification and public hearing process all over again.
If they did not base their decision on the audit report, they could, in essence, resume where they left off, with a reading of the relevant ordinance.
Board chairwoman Sherrie Thrall said, "To say we're going to ignore the thing we said we needed to make the decision doesn't sit right with me."
But after another half-hour of discussion that's exactly what the board did.
A clearly frustrated Ross said he thought he was going to get a final decision on his request that day. "We need immediate relief now. The audit shows we're doing all we can."
Even without re-starting the process, IMD cannot implement a rate increase until December at the earliest. The reading of the stalled ordinance has to be properly noticed and scheduled. It has to be read a second time, and then it goes into effect after 30 days.
Ross said after last week's meeting that he needed the rate increase last April. Like many industries in Plumas County, trash is seasonal and the slow winter season is fast approaching. Ross loses many commercial customers, including campgrounds, during the winter, and a number of snowbirds cancel their service.
What's next?
Oct. 5: First reading of the rate-increase ordinance; public will have a chance to comment; supervisors will decide amount of increase - they originally motioned for a 12 percent increase.
Oct. 12: Second reading
Mid-Nov.: Ordinance goes into effect
Down the road: Renegotiation of franchise contracts with both IMD and FRD; establishment of a "Refuse Rate Index," a consumer price index type of rating that would adjust rates automatically so, as Thrall said, "we remove some of the political decision making."
Most quotable
"Solid waste is an interesting animal. People take their trash to the curb - and the fairies make it go away."
Robert Meacher
County Supervisor

This looks like quite an interesting and well developed game. $38 (£27) is a hell of a deal too.
Phoronix: Sacred Gold On Linux Has Gone Gold
It took longer than expected, but Linux Game Publishing is now prepared to ship Sacred Gold. The description of this game is below.In his fortress of Shaddar-Nur, the necromancer Shaddar, a pariah of the Band of Mages from Mystdale Castle, plans his triumphant return to the world of Ancaria...
This looks like quite an interesting and well developed game. $38 (£27) is a hell of a deal too.
Just a side note, Jets N Guns is done, I got it for Linux last week. Really, really fun SHMUP.
why would i buy this when the Good Old Games version comes:
> with no DRM
> at a price of $9.99
don't get me wrong, i love that they have done this, but where is the value?
Really good, not the game, but the coming of Linux version of games.
Anyway Financing LGP is not a bad idea.
The GoG version is a WINDOWS version and you're buying it as such.
Each time you do something along those lines you send a message to the studios and publishers that you actually WANT to buy WINDOWS titles.
I'm not going to twist people's arms to go and buy it (partly because I've a relationship with LGP (Indicated by the tag on my handle here...)) but in the same breath, I'd be disinclined to give the wrong message just because "it's cheaper".
One of the things everyone has to realize is that as long as you keep equating what is a new title on Linux with "an old title", which might be the case on Windows, you're going to be waiting a LONG time for Linux specific titles unless they're indie stuff like Caster.

Amy Winehouse Gossip
Amy Winehouse gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
You Likey?
Me likey! Me scaredy! But me likey! This is Amy Winehouse. And I LOOOVE the tee. As for reports that she vacationed over the holidays with her ex boyfriend… GOOD! As for her mother in law giving her sh*t for doing it while that skeeze she married rots away in prison… EVEN BETTER! As for rumours that Blake is despondent and said to be suffering in jail… YES! YES! YES! Maybe Amy Winehouse is ready to get rid of Blake. Full Story
Briefly on Amy
For those new to the site, please also see the FAQ: Amy Winehouse married a man alleged to be the heroin dealer to the UK music industry, a loser in the truest sense who needs to junk her up to keep her in his grasp. He was expected to face charges on Monday for beating the sh*t out of some dude in a bar and was arrested yesterday after a dramatic house raid for attempting to thwart the legal system by paying off a witness. Full Story
Amy Winehouse: officially sad smut
Amy and Blake left rehab abruptly a few days ago as their scraps were apparently disrupting other patients…though lets be honest – does he really want her getting clean? Please. They were sighted last night. A few photos will be released in a matter of hours – I can't publish though I have seen them and they are probably the most shocking yet. Full Story
The Toxic Spouse
He is black to the core. And not surprisingly, because of him, or more accurately, because of her weakness when it comes to him, Amy Winehouse has reportedly once again exited rehab. Apparently the two walked out on Sunday night and checked into a hotel. And of course insiders say it was Blake who was the problem. Full Story
Amy Winehouse: Love addict, drug addict
Both she and Blake spoke to the press yesterday downplaying reports of her overdose and addiction. All addicts are liars. Having said that, today at least, she seems to be back in rehab, although that piece of sh-t she's married to keeps insisting it's a "retreat", making it sound as if recovery is a 2 week holiday. Full Story
Amy Winehouse: Countdown to Relapse
Covenant House Vancouver, our youth workers always say: Relapse is a part of recovery. And so relapse is often not approached as a setback but rather as an expected stumble along the road to overcoming addiction. I always hear our staff saying to our kids "remember your clean time", which means that staying sober, even if only for a week or a month, was actually achieved, proving that they can absolutely do it. Full Story
Saving Amy
Contrary to widespread reports last week, turns out Amy Winehouse is not in rehab. Her family is apparently looking into a suitable facility and she is being attended to by medical personnel but she has not been officially admitted into treatment. They did however confirm that she overdosed. Said Amy: "It was just crazy—one of the most terrifying moments of my life. Full Story
What About Him?
Amy Winehouse finally and reluctantly in rehab just a couple of days after she was hospitalised for "exhaustion", now revealed (no kidding) to be a drug overdose. Apparently she went on a 3 day bender with her husband that involved alcohol, ecstasy, cocaine, and even K. Nice. Talented and tragic – 30 years ago it was iconic. Full Story

Day after drama, Yanks eye fifth straight win
Streaking Bombers put up Nuno vs. Norris as O's try to even set
Buck Showalter has been in baseball a long time -- since the Yankees drafted him in the late 1970s -- so don't try to fool him into thinking this Orioles-Yankees series is the be-all and end-all when it comes to the American League East.
Sure, Baltimore and New York are both toward the top of the division standings along with the Blue Jays, and sure, the O's could pull even with the Yankees in those standings if they win the last two games of the series. But it's a little early to be too worried about that.
"Not yet," Showalter said of whether he looks at the standings often. "If somebody is 20 [games] over [.500] and I'm two over, yeah. You can't get bogged down in that mentality. I think we all know at some point a couple of clubs are going to get moving in the right direction."
The Orioles have been moving in the right direction, and their starter Saturday, righty Bud Norris, has been a big part of that. He owns a 3.73 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in his first full season in Baltimore.
Norris has been especially sharp his last two outings, limiting the Red Sox and Blue Jays to one run while scattering 10 hits and four walks in 14 2/3 innings.
The same can't be said of his opponent, left-hander Vidal Nuno. The A's roughed Nuno up during his last outing on Sunday, as he surrendered eight runs in three innings. His ERA during three starts in June is 7.43, and his overall mark stands at 5.90.
The Yankees are 5-6 in games in which Nuno starts, including 1-5 at Yankee Stadium, the site of Saturday's contest.
"I don't ever put that type of pressure on people," said Girardi of considering a replacement for Nuno. "They understand what is on the line every day, and they understand that this is a performance-based business."
During his bullpen session Wednesday, Nuno worked on finding the right grip on his cutter, which he said will be essential to his success. He said he is not worried about pitching for his job -- but he has been thinking about it.
"It's the nature of the game," he said. "It's in the back of my mind. I've been working on stuff day in and day out, but I'm just going to go out there, enjoy it and have fun.
"If I can't do that, I'm just going to keep fighting and see where it takes me."
Orioles: Hundley, Joseph solid at containing baserunning game
Replacing Matt Wieters' production at the plate is no easy task, but Nick Hundley and Caleb Joseph are doing what they can to replace him behind it.
The pair has combined for a 33 percent caught-stealing rate with the Orioles this season, catching 10 of 30 would-be basestealers. The latest came Friday night, when Hundley cut down Ichiro Suziki in the fourth inning. Hundley's success rate is just 17 percent (2-for-12), but Joseph is at 44 percent (8-for-18).
Wieters threw out one of 12 runners this season before an elbow injury limited his time behind the plate and then ended his season. In six Major League seasons, Wieters has caught one in three runners on average.
Yankees: Girardi confident Kelley will return to form
Right-handed reliever Shawn Kelley missed just over a month of the season with a strained lumbar spine. Before heading to the disabled list on May 6, Kelley posted a 3.52 ERA and more than a strikeout per inning, part of that coming while serving as the Yankees closer. But pitching has been a little tougher since his return to the team on June 12.
In five appearances, the righty has allowed three earned runs over just 3 2/3 innings for a 7.36 ERA in that span. In his most recent outing Friday night against the Orioles, Kelley tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
"I don't get overly concerned," said Girardi of Kelley's recent struggles. "Obviously, we need to get him back on a roll. It's important to get him going. It's frustrating for a player when you're pitching so well and then you get hurt and maybe you're not quite as sharp as you've been, but he'll get back on track. That's not something I'm too concerned about."
Worth noting
• New York third baseman Kelly Johnson did not start Friday against the Orioles with bruised fingers, but he could be available Saturday.
• In 13 Major League seasons with the Orioles, Yankees second baseman Brian Roberts collected 1,452 hits. It was fitting, then, that his 1,500th career base knock came against Baltimore on Friday. It was a single to right.
• Steve Pearce, who has been serving as the O's designated hitter of late, is hitting .400 with a 1.091 OPS this month.

Obesity is an issue of great importance, not only in the United States, but around the world.
Volunteers in Athens, Greece counsel an athlete on proper nutrition during the 2010 test Games. Volunteers there also offered healthier snack alternatives -- fruit and bottled water -- to athletes.
Obesity is an issue of great importance, not only in the United States, but around the world. The epidemic is receiving more and more attention from policymakers, the media and public health professionals. People with disabilities in the United States have an obesity rate that is 27.4% higher that people without disabilities and Special Olympics research has found that 33% of athletes 21 and under and a BMI percentile over 30, and 46% of athletes over 21 have a BMI of over 30.
Although athletes don't typically spend a great amount of time at Special Olympics' events, it is an ideal place to begin promotion of healthy food selections. Serving healthy foods and beverages at events is a perfect way to introduce them to a healthier lifestyle.
As a public health student from the University of Iowa in the United States, I was interested in finding out what foods are offered at Special Olympics' events. Are policies and food standards already being implemented at events? I distributed a national U.S. survey to State Special Olympics Healthy Athletes directors and staff.
Out of 98 people invited to take the survey, 41 accepted for a response rate of 42%. Most were Healthy Athletes Coordinators (13), directors (12), and administrators (10). A majority of Programs (80%) rely on a combination of food and beverage donations and purchases by the Programs. In total, 28 respondents (68%) said their state's Program serves "healthy" main options for their meals (sub sandwiches with lean meat), while others offer "less healthy" options like pizza, hot dogs and hamburgers. A wide variety of side dishes are offered, the most popular being fruit (83%) and regular chips (66%). Several Programs report switching to serving baked rather than fried chips (32%). Other side options perceived as "healthier" were granola bars, vegetables, and yogurt. Most Programs (97%) offer water at their events but 34% still offer sweetened beverages such as regular soda. The survey results suggest that the concessions at events tend to serve the majority of higher-calorie, lower-nutrient foods, including items such as sweetened beverages, hot dogs, pizza, chips and candy.
Most survey participants were aware that Special Olympic athletes are more obese. A total of 19 said Special Olympic athletes have higher or significantly higher in obesity rates than the general population. All but two surveyed indicated it was important or very important to decrease the current obesity rate in this population.
As noted earlier, some changes to make the foods healthier have been made. To date, 29 people have discussed the nutritional quality of the foods they serve. Athletes, coaches, families, vendors and sponsors have all contributed to the improvements in the food environment at events. The most significant barrier to serving healthy foods is the lack of funding. Four states reported having guidelines for foods and beverages served at Special Olympics events. The guidelines address portion size, not serving sweetened beverages, replacing calorie rich deserts with fruit, and using baked chips instead of fried.
A majority of respondents (54%) believe Special Olympics need guidelines (nutrition standards) for the foods served at events. Some suggestions included portion sizes, following recommendations in the Food Guide Pyramid, offering "balanced" meals, healthier snack choices and most importantly finding affordable healthy options. A lot of respondents indicated a desire for donors to provide healthier options. Almost half are considering other donors in their areas.
As you can see, many staff members in state Special Olympics Programs are interested in making changes to offer healthier foods and beverages at events. Funding restrictions limit the ability of some states due to the increased cost of healthy foods. Recommendations for affordable healthy food and beverage options were provided to respondents. This is one of the important steps in the journey to achieve healthy weights for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

American Criminal Justice Exposed: A Review of The Collapse of American Criminal Justice, by William StuntzChristopher SloboginVanderbilt University - Law School March 28, 2012 Criminal Justice Ethics, 2012 Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper No. 12-11 Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 12-9 Abstract: William Stuntz, who recently passed away, was the most influential criminal procedure scholar of his generation. Thus it is no surprise that his last book, The Collapse of American Criminal Justice, contains a number of provocative insights about modern American policing and criminal adjudication. But the book also delves into substantive criminal law, criminology, political economy, and nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultural history, and weaves all of it together in a bracingly original way. As a result, The Collapse of American Criminal Justice is a far-ranging analysis of the flaws in American criminal justice, how they developed, and how they can be remedied. It is a tour de force that only someone who has easy familiarity with a wide array of disciplines could pull off.
