Unable to sleep well at night? Find out how you can change that.
You've tried everything — skipping caffeine late in the day, avoiding heavy counting sheep for dinner, and counting sheep till you get sleep. Yet, every night, slumber seems to escape you, and you find yourself lying in bed frustrated about what's interrupting your sleep.
As Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Consultant Neurologist, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, explains, "Lifestyle factors like stress, night shift duties, addiction to the Internet and mobile phones are affecting sleep patterns." Dr. Garima Shukla, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology, AIIMS, Delhi, attributes this as ' primary insomnia', where difficulty in getting sleep or having a non-refreshing sleep is not caused by any mental or physical condition.
Often the cumulative effect of not getting sound sleep, due to reasons like late nights, leads to the accumulation of sleep debt, which impairs the functioning of the brain, making you less alert. It also impairs gross motor activities and makes you feel tetchy and impatient. Lack of sleep also decreases the levels of serotonin, dopamine and other hormones in the body, leading to anxiety, stress and depression-related illnesses. Studies have also shown that sleep deprivation is linked to several illnesses like an increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, heart attack and obesity.
Good sleep hygiene
Insomniacs looking for a quick solution often reach out for sleeping pills and alcohol to induce sleep. However, experts concur that this is just a short-term solution, which adversely affects the body. The trick lies in a few effective practices that help you relax, sleep better, and eventually live better.
Doctors believe that good sleep hygiene leads to improved sleep. Sleep hygiene are specific practices that ensure restful and effective sleep, and promote day time alertness.
According to Dr. Sanjay Pattanayak, "Have a consistent sleep and wake schedule. A daily sleep routine not only sets the body's internal clock but also allows you to feel more rested." This, of course, is flexible for certain days when you might have to stay awake longer than usual. However, you can readjust your wake up time or take an afternoon nap to ensure you are not deprived of shuteye.
Dr. Shukla also feels that the bedroom should be sleep friendly: cool, quiet and uncluttered. "A bedroom is meant for sleep and intimacy, not to watch television, or surf the web."
Dr. Pattanayak agrees and emphasises that a bed should be used for sleeping, and not for studying or eating. The lighting, noise and temperature in the room should be controlled to create an environment conducive to sleep.
Put on your walking shoes
"Adding exercise to the daily routine dramatically improves your sleep quality," says Deanne Pandey, a fitness instructor based in Mumbai. In order to get maximum benefits, you must engage in cardiovascular exercise like jogging, kickboxing, walking or swimming. Simply raising the heart rate for half an hour a day helps improve sleep quality as well as sleep time.
"Strength training is also essential for building muscle and raising your metabolism. Stretching before and after exercise is also a must," adds Pandey.
Aditi Mehrotra, a nutritionist based in Chandigarh, feels that exercise removes sluggishness by improving the circulation of blood in the body. "Deep breathing sessions in yoga empty the stale air from the lungs," she adds.
For exercise to have a positive effect on the quality of sleep, one needs to choose the time wisely. "The best time to exercise is morning/mid-morning as exercise will help jump start your metabolism and keep you active throughout the day," says Pandey. "Late evening exercise might make you very alert, interfering with your body's ability to relax and sleep."
But determining the best time to get your workout depends on the individual. "If you are morning person, you can wake up a little early and go for a jog at the park. People who find it difficult to exercise in the morning can hit the gym after work", explains Pandey.
Eat the right way
The food we eat also affects the way we sleep. Some foods make it harder for us to sleep, like caffeinated drinks or foods containing alcohol.
You may feel that alcohol helps you relax and fall asleep faster, but it actually causes disturbances in sleep. Drinking coffee at night also disturbs your sleep system, stress levels and circadian rhythm.
"Foods that are rich in tryptophan help promote sleep", notes Mehrotra. "This amino acid increases the availability of the feel-good hormone serotonin, which elevates the mood and lulls us into a restful sleep", she adds.
Mehrotra recommends eating an evening snack or dinner that combines a concentrated dietary source of tryptophan with a healthy carbohydrate rich food. Foods rich in tryptophan include beans, whole grains, chickpeas, peanuts, sunflower seeds, milk and milk products. "The age-old belief of drinking warm milk before bed is true," says Dr Pattanayak.
It is also important to avoid heavy meals before going to sleep. Heavy meals make lying down feel uneasy. It can also cause indigestion and interfere with sleep.
It is a dreadful feeling to lie in bed worrying about things that didn't go the way you wanted. It could be a task at work, or the stress of a home you are looking to buy. Stress and tension build up, even without us realising it.
Too much stress negatively impacts our psychological and physical well-being. People under stress also find it difficult to relax their muscles and experience aches and pains frequently.
"If worry is not allowing you to sleep, wake up and do something relaxing till you feel sleepy again,". says Dr Shukla. Listen to soothing music or read a book, to distract your mind and calm you down. Opt for a massage a few hours before bedtime to release muscle tension.

Freshman coach Bob Burnside was named interim head coach of the St. Bernard/Norwich Tech cooperative football program Thursday after Scott Cook, who refused to resign the position, was placed on administrative leave.
Brendan Case, athletic director at St. Bernard, confirmed the move Thursday afternoon and said current assistant coaches Willie Quinones, James Singleton and Ken Stanley have also agreed to remain on staff.
Patricia A. Ciccone, superintendent of the Connecticut Technical High School System, confirmed the decision to place Cook on paid administrative leave in an email to The Day "pending the results of a fact-finding on matters pertaining to the performance of his duties as Coach."
Ciccone added, "As this is a personnel matter, it is confidential and I am unable to comment any further on the issue at this time."
Players from both schools met with their respective administrations Thursday, Case said, adding that the players agreed to continue the season, which resumes on Oct. 13 at Bacon Academy.
Earlier Thursday, players Tucker Johns and Garrett Boerenko questioned leadership at both schools and disputed the reasons given for football Cook's dismissal.
Johns and Boerenko were part of a 12-player gathering at Norwich Skatepark across the street from Norwich Tech in support of Cook, who has been asked to resign or be fired.
"They want to hire new coaches halfway through season?" said Johns, a senior at Norwich Tech. "That's how you build a program? (Teammate) Joe Mariani said it best (Wednesday) night. If we change coaches every two years, we're never going to get better."
Cook said Wednesday that executive union representative Ed Levy of Norwich Tech told Cook to resign or be fired during a testy phone call. Cook said Levy cited an incident on a school bus over a year ago among the primary reasons for his dismissal.
"Two of the players (from Norwich Tech) were involved in a scuffle," Cook said. " … They're saying I didn't handle it properly. I didn't know what I was supposed to. It was a Norwich Tech incident. I made them run hills for their behavior. I told (Norwich Tech athletic director) Tim Krodel the rest of the disciplinary actions were up to them. I didn't feel it had anything to do with me."
Johns and Boerenko agreed Thursday, saying they were the two players involved.
"It was all over girls. We were guys about it and got mad at each other," Johns said.
Boerenko said the incident happened on a bus ride from Norwich Tech to St. Bernard. Boerenko said he "slapped" Johns and was issued a three-day suspension from Norwich Tech assistant principal Dr. Michael Kaiser. He said Cook made him run after practice as punishment as well.
"It was two teenage kids pumped up with testosterone on a bus talking about a girl," Johns said. "Garrett and I are fine. Completely fine. Were crying about it (Wednesday) in the locker room. They're just trying to bring up stuff to make coach Cook look like an idiot."
Boerenko said the incident shouldn't be an issue any longer.
"Coach Cook can't control what happens on a bus," Boerenko said. "I don't see what this has to do with him. Plus, we were already punished."
"Our parents say they don't want us to stop playing because it gives the athletic directors more reason to not have a team next year and to show we don't care," Johns said. "But I think it's disrespectful and outrageous to play for another coach halfway through the season."

Franklin - The Common Council on Tuesday gave Franklin High School officials plenty to think about during a concept review of a $33 million plan to expand and renovate the facility.
The review, meant to be an advisory step prior to a final review by the city's Plan Commission, unearthed a wide variety of questions and concerns regarding safety, building materials, use of space, water retention and neighborhood impact.
The construction project was approved in a Nov. 6 referendum. The concept could be presented to the Plan Commission as early as March 7.
Access and more
Safety concerns centered on the plan to build an auditorium as part of a performing arts center at the southwest corner of the building near an expanded front entrance.
Alderman Steve Olson questioned why there were not more doorways leading into and out of the 850-seat auditorium. That same issue was raised by Mayor Tom Taylor, noting that there is a heightened sensitivity regarding access for the public and emergency personnel in the wake of several school campus shootings in recent years.
Olson also questioned the size of the auditorium as a theater, wondering if large equipment and materials could be effectively stored and maneuvered in the space.
While several council members asked about the propriety of a plan for stormwater retention under terraced parking, Alderwoman Kristen Wilhelm questioned why more pedestrian walkways were not drawn into the west side of the plan.
Alderman Ken Skowronski asked why there were no plans to expand vocational education space since trade education, he said, is a community need.
Taylor told presenter Robert Vajgrt of Eppstein Uhen Architects that he hoped the council's questions and concerns would help the process as it proceeds to city planners.
Next-step advice
"I would think that the members of the Plan Commission will be very interested in certain details," Taylor said. "They will want to know about the look of the expansion and how attractive it will be and what materials will be used and how much of it will be brick. They will want to know how the plans may affect surrounding neighbors. They will want to know something about the landscaping and how that will add to the property and how it will help the property be separated from the residences."
Vajgrt laid out a number of plan details for the 285,000-square-foot facility situated on 77 acres.
The most notable include new structures such as a front entrance to enhance security, a two-story addition of open-concept academic space, the performing arts center meant to be a communitywide resource with expanded music, theater and choir areas, new and expanded parking designed to provide better separation of bus and parent drop-off and pick-up areas. The parking expansion and improvement also will require moving athletic fields from the south side to the north side of the campus.
Positive process
After the review, Superintendent Steve Patz said he thought the meeting was positive.
"There were good questions," Patz said. "We want to abide by the aldermen's sensibilities. We will work on some of these issues so that we can go to the Plan Commission with those details worked out.
"This has been a process from the beginning when we held public meetings before the referendum. We are looking forward to answering any questions."

So I cried last night for the first time in about a month or so. I got my bill from my d&c and everything just hit me again. Now we need to pay $3,000 and nothing to show for it but a u/s picture. Just really sucks. We are ttc again but the waiting for everything to happen is hard and then thinking it would happen again makes it even harder... Wish this was easy. I never thought I would have to try this hard to have a healthy baby.

Aww :'( big hugs to you. It is so hard sometimes...I also get really sad sometimes after being fine for a while. I too had been getting my bills in the mail one by one for all the services I had while pregnant (ultrasounds, bloodwork, appointments). It hurt to know I had to pay them while having no baby to show for it. :(

Patrice Bergeron leaves Game 5 in ambulance
|06.22.13 at 10:31 pm ET
CHICAGO — Patrice Bergeron was taken from the United Center in the middle of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals Saturday night via ambulance and transported to a local hospital, first reported by WCVB's Mike Lynch and later confirmed by the Bruins.
Bergeron appeared to take a hit late in the first period during a 4-on-4 situation on the ice but he did return to play a limited amount in the second period. He came out after just two shifts in the second and did not return. He was not on the Bruins bench to begin the third period.
Carl Soderberg took Bergeron's place on the second line, centering Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr.
The Bruins confirmed the report but did not announce details of the injury.

Is Obama another Neville Chamberlain?
For those of you unfamiliar with the history of World War II, Neville Chamberlain was the prime minister of Great Britain just prior to the advent of World War II. He is most remembered for his "Munich Agreement", in which he deeded over Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany with Germany's promise that it would not pursue further aggression. Of course, this was making a deal with the devil; Adolf Hitler was Satan incarnate, for certain. Consequently, his name has become the emodiment of appeasement and naivete, if not utter stupidity and idiocy. You cannot make a deal with the devil. Shown here in the picture to the right is Neville Chamberlin upon his return from Munich in 1938 after meeting with Adolf Hitler with the scrap of paper that was to "ensure peace in our time"; the paper was signed by Hitler.
The question now is whether Barack Obama is another Neville Chamberlain. Obama is supporting the tax cuts for the rich, claiming that unless we agree to these demands by the Republicans, our economy may dip back into recession, as Chamberlain asserted that unless England and Europe gave Nazi Germany Czechoslovakia, that a war with Germany might occur. Whether you are for the tax cuts or against the tax cuts, the majority of Americans were surprised, if not flabbergasted, by Obama's immediate acquiescence to Republican demands for inclusion of the rich in the tax cuts, including a very generous exemption from estate taxes: under the plan, as much as $10 million may be exempt from any estate tax, with the estate tax rate on any excess being reduced from 55% to 35%!
Certainly, Barack Obama is no Winston Churchill. Maybe he does his fighting only on a basketball court, where he recently incurred an injury requiring 18 stitches, because he certainly did not fight the good fight before conceding to the Republican demands, merely accepting in return a 13 month extension of unemployment benefits for 2 million Americans, a reduction in payroll taxes, and an extension of a grab bag of tax credits for college tuition and other items. Like Chamberlain, who only received Hilter's signature on a scrap of paper promising never to go to war again with England, Obama got very little in return for his big giveaways to the rich and privileged.
A recent CBS poll found 70% of Americans were not in favor of these tax cuts for the rich—resulting in huge deficits of $700 billion dollars—when our national debt is already $14 trillion. Many feel that no tax cuts would have been preferable to this agreement, since no deal would spare us from an additional $980 billion of debt.
Obama is justifying these tax cuts through a fear tactic, trying to scare the bejeezus out of everyone: unless we give the rich these tax cuts, our country may lapse back into another recession. Dear President Obama, for your information, we are still in this recession in terms of unemployment: my next job interview is in Peking, thanks to NAFTA. And in 2012, we will still be in this recession in terms of unemployment. Jobs have been going overseas for years now, and with the further consolidations of mega-size corporations, layoffs will continue. Of course, we all know by now that the unemployment numbers may not reflect the worsening labor market since, after a certain period of time, the long-term unemployed are no longer included in the calculation of the current rate of unemployment. That great mouthpiece of Republican ideology, former President Ronald Reagan, redefined unemployment to deliberately understate figures by excluding those "not actively searching for jobs."
After hearing the endorsement of these tax cuts for the rich by Harvard's Larry Summers, and his prediction of another recession if they are not enacted, I suspect that President Obama may still be listening to the counsel of his former Economic Advisor. What do you expect from an educator of America's elite class? An endorsement of a government of the unprivileged, by the unprivileged, and for the unprivileged? Is anyone surprised to hear Summers' talking points uttered by Obama, knowing that Summers advised Obama on his economic policies in his first two years as President? Does Paul Winchell and Knucklehead Smiff ring a bell?
If appeasement best characterizes Obama's approach to negotiations with the Republicans over tax cuts for the rich, can you imagine the results of his negotiations with the Iranians and North Korea over nuclear weapons?
To paraphrase one of the greatest Yankees of all time, Yogi Berra: deja vu Neville Chamberlain all over again?
Please feel free to comment and disagree. I respect and appreciate all dissenting views. Thank you.

Respond to Review of 20000 Cows Vegetarian House
by Jak74
Review: I took my partner to 20,000 cows for her birthday as we are both vegetarian, and as the web page heading says '20,000 cows vegetarian house' I thought she would love it. I took a birthday cake with cream (honest mistake) as the title indicates 'vegetarian house. The waitress said she couldn't put it in the fridge as this is a vegan restaurant, which was fine and we fully accepted although slightly confused as we thought 20,000 was a vegetarian restaurant. The waitress seemed happy with that. An hour and a half later she came back out and in the middle of the party, became very irate at everybody there, raising her voice and embarrassing everybody there including my 7 year old step daughter who became quite distraught. No one at the table said anything as we were all in shock. She then came out with a smart alec line "ooh the silence is deafening". Everybody got up and left the restaurant, and I went into pay. The waitress took one look at me and said to a very polite young waitress, you deal with him and flicked her hand at me. My partner and step daughter left the restaurant very upset. When she asked us if the cake was vegan we were honest and said no it has cream she wasn't upset, she told us that she just wouldn't be able to keep it their fridge, so no body at the table thought that it would be a problem from there on. There are better ways of talking to customers who had made an honest mistake and thought otherwise as per the heading on the website and the fact she was ok about it from the beginning. Will not be going back.

Amazing product
Posted by Reviewer1562986 on Nov 06, 2014
I love this conditioner. Not only does it smell good, but it's very thick and rich. I am hypothyroid, and my hair is extremely dry. This works well and gives my hair shine, especially if I don't completely rinse it all out. And it doesn't contain sulfates/parabens, etc, which is a big plus.
Soft Hair!
Posted by 5684031424614824516 on Nov 24, 2014
When using this conditioner in the shower I thought it wouldn't do much, but afterwards when I brushed out my hair (which is thick and has natural curl) I was shocked at how easy it was! Great smell and price, I highly recommend.
Tasty fruity smell
Posted by victtoriag on Dec 27, 2014
I like it. It has a very pleasant smell of candy and fruits. My hair becomes straighter when i use this conditioner. It's a great detangler. I apply it only on the hair, not on the scalp to avoid the oily result (but this is individual for each scalp). It's a very good product because it's SLS free. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is the most nocive sulfate for our scalp. The sulfates can't be washed out. Accumulating on the scalp and hair, this substance can cause skin irritation even allergy. The sulfates are washing out the dye and the keratin straightening effects if you have them. I will try and something else but defenetely from Nature's Gate.
Great quality

We have decided to temporarily close our doors while the renovations take place. During the down time we have some exciting changes going on inside as well. I will keep everyone updated as to the progress. Thank you for your support & understanding, Bruce.

Given the right treatment I think the Fall of Gondolin would be a great movie. Bring on the Balrogs! Actually there's plenty of stuff in the Silmarillion that could be made into film. I'd like to see Ungoliant killing trees in the theater.

Early in the day, Clark did a two-way interview with FOX News from a campaign stop in New Mexico where, in a slightly unprecedented moment in the campaign, he got visibly angry on television when challenged by anchor David Asman. Asman showed a graphic of Clark's quote from Sunday's "Meet the Press:" "President Bush has said the war in Iraq is a centerpiece for the war on terror. It isn't. it's a sideshow. It's simply their easiest means of access to attack American soldiers. That's all it is." He then asked if Clark really thinks Iraq was a "sideshow."
When Clark began to answer calmly, calling it a "distraction" from U.S.'s real mission of going after Osama bin Laden, Asman interrupts, asking, "While our men and women are dying in Iraq, is it proper to call it a sideshow?" And then:
CLARK: Don't you dare twist words into disrespect for the men and women in uniform. I love those men and women. I gave 34 years of my life to them. You better take my words the right way. This is about the president of the United States and his leadership. ASMAN: General, I'm just repeating your own words to you. CLARK: No, sir, you are not. You are playing politics … ASMAN: Didn't you say that Iraq was a sideshow? CLARK: No, sir. No, sir. You are playing politics with the men and women in uniform. You are, sir. And I challenge you … (CROSSTALK) ASMAN: I'm sorry, I just read back your own statements, General. CLARK: … take it straight. You take it straight.
Clark then hit New Hampshire for a house party and a live interview with New England Cable Network. During a long commercial break from the broadcast, Clark proudly spoke of the Washington Post article from last Friday on his hair.
"I won the award from the Washington Post . It was the award for best hair. Listen, when you're 50 years old and win the award for best hair, that's like an oxymoron." Staffers joke that The General has definitely spoken quite a bit about the Post article since it came out. In it, Robin Givhan writes: "In a locks-to-locks comparison, Clark would be judged more favorably. Dean's hair looks as though it was ordered from an old Sears catalog. But there's a certain Mayberry charm to Clark's barbershop cut." LINK
On the $12 Million
Nov. 17 — It was a good day for the Clark campaign yesterday. The General seemed to emerge unscathed from his hour-long interview with Tim Russert; the Boston Globe wrote a shining part 1 biography on him; more details on Clark's first television ad were released; and, at the bottom of the second graph in the Washington Post , Lois Romano wrote of campaign officials: "They expect the campaign to raise at least $12 million this quarter, in all likelihood more than any other candidate except Howard Dean."
A brief look back at the numbers we've seen thrown out from the Clark campaign for fourth-quarter earnings:
--On Oct. 22, the AP's Nedra Pickler wrote: "The Clark team sees New Hampshire as part of a broader strategy to raise more than $10 million by the end of the year, air ads next month, finish third in the Granite State in January, then tick off a series of wins in states with later nominating contests."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Experimental Treatments? Unapproved But Not Always Unavailable
In this article
As if these hurdles are not enough, there is the long-held, but incorrect, public perception that FDA erects regulatory barriers that block patients from getting investigational new drugs (INDs). These are drugs that pharmaceutical companies have in clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness, but which have yet to be approved by FDA for marketing. For those with a serious illness, the agency rarely blocks access to unproven medications. But FDA does strive to protect all patients, even those who may be dying, from undue risks associated with investigational new drugs. At the same time, FDA believes that the best way to benefit all patients is to speed promising new therapies through the development and approval process so safety, effectiveness and proper use can be established.
"FDA has worked diligently to balance two compelling, and sometimes competing, factors," says FDA Commissioner Jane E. Henney, M.D. "On one hand, there is the need for the disciplined, systematic, scientifically controlled studies necessary to identify treatments that may improve patient health and that lead to the approval of new drugs. At the same time, there is the desire of seriously ill persons, with no effective options available, to have the earliest access to unapproved products that could be the best therapy for them."
Over the last decade, FDA's institutional philosophy has evolved to be more supportive of thoughtful risk-taking by patients who have run out of options. As a result, the agency has put in place a number of regulatory mechanisms and worked with manufacturers to ensure that seriously ill patients can get access to promising, but not fully evaluated, products. At the same time, FDA has protected the critical scientific studies that must be carried out so that patients, physicians and the agency can determine which drugs are truly safe and effective, and how they can best be used.
"We believe that the best means of providing access to useful medical treatments for all Americans is to continue to shorten the review times," Henney says, "and to continue to work with the industry to shorten development times for drugs, biologics and medical devices."

New jail, old problem
New facility over capacity after one year
First of two parts
As the new Vanderburgh County Jail celebrates its first birthday, a familiar problem threatens to ruin the party.
With 512 beds - nearly twice as many as the old jail it replaced - the new facility is already over capacity.
A census taken earlier this week showed 522 inmates incarcerated.
Sheriff Eric Williams said there's a "real possibility" that within his current term of office local government will be faced with a decision to rent bed space from surrounding counties or expand the just-completed facility.
"That's a decision that the criminal justice system" as a whole will have to make, he said.
County officials acknowledge overcrowding is a concern, but their opinions for a solution vary.
Few will say openly the jail was built too small. One exception is Democratic County Commissioner Troy Tornatta. He was one of several Democrats who in 2004 proposed adding a third pod to the jail, bringing its capacity to 768. The County Council, which capped the jail costs at $35 million, declined, fearing the burden of the extra expense, estimated at $5 million.
"I knew that there was going to be overcrowding before" the new jail opened, Tornatta said. "And that's why I proposed that they make the jail bigger while the cranes and all the equipment were out
there. In 2009, they're going to be looking for beds in the state."
Bed space aside, the new jail is clearly an improvement over the old one.
The old jail had 268 beds and regularly housed 330 inmates before it closed. Inmates, sometimes as many as 100 on any given night, slept on the floor in rusty cells with no air conditioning. The conditions caused fights and vandalism and prompted a lawsuit by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union that resulted in a 329-inmate cap.
The new jail has more than 130 security cameras, compared with around a dozen at the old facility. Fights and violent assaults have dropped by about 80 percent, Williams said.
The cells are air conditioned, and the design of the pods allows for direct supervision of inmates. A video conferencing system allows visitors to speak with an inmate without leaving the jail's main lobby. Similar technology has been used for video arraignments in misdemeanor court, significantly reducing the number of inmates bused between the courthouse and jail.
"I am very, very pleased with how the first 12 months have gone," Williams said. "I think the staff has done an outstanding job of transitioning."
The daily inmate population averaged around 500 for the first year, reaching as high as 540.
"Because of the way the system works, we have surges in our populations," Williams said. "By the time court starts in the morning - after a long night of arrests on a weekend - the population is going to go up. But once court starts, bonds are set, bonds are reduced, people are (released on their own recognizance) and our numbers plummet back down below our capacity."
Like Tornatta, Williams advocated a larger jail. He cited a study by a consulting company that recommended more than 700 beds.
A third pod would have given the Sheriff's Department the option of housing state and federal inmates, a revenue source that could have helped offset the construction costs, Williams said.
"I think what we did was we made the best with the budget that was available to us. There were certain parameters that were set, and those were all met," he said.
Construction finished on time and more than $500,000 under budget. The jail was designed for expansion, so if that becomes necessary "we'll be able to do that as efficiently as you possibly could," he said. "It will come at a price. There's no doubt about that."
"I hope that we can continue to make this" work, he said. "One of the worst things we can do as a community, I think, is to have a problem that everybody knows exist, and let it fester, fester like the previous jail festered for years and years and years to the point where it was festering for decades.
"That problem got fixed, and now I think it's important that we as a community ... communicate and work together to see that ... we don't get ourselves in a predicament where we're being sued over jail bed space again," Williams said.
Jail overcrowding is a nationwide problem. From 1995 to 2005, the number of jail inmates per 100,000 people rose from 193 to 252, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Part of the reason for the increase is drugs, specifically methamphetamine, said Vanderburgh County Circuit Judge Carl Heldt. Another explanation is the increase in felony cases. In 1974, fewer than 500 felonies were filed in Vanderburgh County. In 2006, there were around 2,200 felony cases.
Heldt said he expects the number of felony cases to continue to rise. Accused felons make up the majority of the jail population.
Asked whether he regarded building the jail with only 512 beds a mistake, Heldt responded, "I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say it was or it wasn't. We do the best we can with the facilities we have, and we're very much conscious of the number of people in the jail."
Prosecutors and judges "meet periodically and try to look at the jail list and decide who if anybody we can lower a bond on or how we can move things faster if we can," he continued. "But we're really at the mercy at the amount of crimes charges and the nature of the crimes.
"Our job is to set bail based upon what we feel the defendants danger to society is and (their potential to flee.) Then we try to move the case through the court system as quickly as possible," Heldt said.
County Councilman Lloyd Winnecke said he is concerned about the number of inmates who are incarcerated for 60 days or more.
According to the latest census, 218 of the 522 inmates had been in jail for 75 days or longer.
"There may be a legitimate reason for each and every one of those cases," Winnecke said. "But it tells me that, OK we built a new jail, but we haven't done anything else to change the system."
Winnecke said the county built a jail that the community could afford. He follows the inmate population closely through reports from the sheriff's office. Expansion should not be an alternative to overcrowding, he said.
"To me, the next logical question for our community to debate is the efficiency of our local justice system," he said.
Efforts have already been made by prosecutors and judges to speed up the system, said Cole Banks, an Evansville attorney and law professor at the University of Southern Indiana.
Banks, who was an advocate for a bigger jail, said judges occasionally set bonds so low that it makes them uncomfortable, but that keeps the jail population down.
"I don't see another alternative for pre-sentenced people that is going to work out," Banks said. "So I think there's a real problem."

flip book -- two front covers "THE PROFIT MOTIVE/ THE PROPHET'S MOTIVE" presents alternatives to the current belief of how Capitalism is practiced today. It is a flip book designed to address both issues of each title in today's world. It questions the morality of our current practice of capitalism and shows alternative policies that can be implemented but only with the will of the people. It captures the spirit of the "occupy" movement and the writing was finished just as the movement began. The book's main thesis is about applying the golden rule to our economic system in order to address the income disparity from our current practice of capitalism.
Make no mistake; it is the American worker that creates the jobs for the so called Republican "job creators" to exploit. The idea that taxing the rich is punishing people for being successful is another example of Republican lies and hypocrisy. The people being punished for being successful are the workers of the United States. Every time they become more efficient, companies then cut jobs and tell those workers remaining to take concessions if they want to keep their jobs. The company makes more profit and the workers make less money. That is the truth and it's reflected in the bank accounts we all hear so much about today.

You Lie! A Gallery Of Celebrities Who Faked Marriages And Relationships- By Bossip Staff Categories: Break Ups, Coupled Up, Multi
Michael Jackson And Debbie Rowe
These two actually did get married and stayed that way for three years….aka long enough for Debbie to fulfill her obligation per their pre-marital agreement and pop out two of Michael's artificially inseminated celebrity seeds. They married at the request of Michael's mother Katherine who insisted once she learned that Debbie was carrying MJ's baby. Debbie later admitted after the divorce that she agreed to carry Michael's children as a favor to him and was paid a pretty penny to relinquish all of her parental rights to Michael once their divorce was finalized. Sounds like all business and no pleasure.

Who Knew That Preening Swine Christopher Hitchens Had a Human Brother?Submitted by Menckens Ghost on Sat, 10/26/2013 - 20:46
- Login to post comments
look as much I disagree with
look as much I disagree with C. Hitchen's on politics and his condescending tone...he without a doubt 100% won this debate.
i think he had better form
i think he had better form and dominated the stage. you'll notice they never shut his mic but they shut his bros mic during the his time. peter ate his breakfast on iraq, and held it up for a while, chris gained some points at the end, but peter had good responses half the time, and was a much bigger person, allowed his opponent more time, allowed the audience more time, and was much less obnoxious and self absorbed, which says a lot by itself.
if you were looking for a debate where hitch is just completely schooled and out of his league on form, tactics, etc., naturally you'd watch him debate craig. but peter's less formal style added a human element of genuineness. i wouldn't say chris won here overall, but i guess our overall biases enter into the picture here.
LOL! I see we simply disagree
LOL! I see we simply disagree over who is right! Even in this debate (which I have seen in the past) I think Hitchens wins! He is a goof but on God I just agree so it's hard for me to notice his flaws in style of debate.
I just went through your comments and posts..... the atheist prayer... jesus needs to bitchslap people? HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHH You're a certified religious kook. Not even worth arguing with. Might as well hang out on a website for Twilight fans and listen to them bitch about werewolves being worse than vampires.
No train to Stockholm.
you went through my comments
you went through my comments and posts? well that's a pretty lame thing to do. try hard, are we?
well if u tried harder, you'd see the HL mencken avatar and the nietzsche passage from zarathustra in my profile quote.
u speak to soon, you presume, for u are just a boy.
You threw me for a loop there BILL.
I took you for something different than what you were with your Atheist Prayer poem, then thought I had forgotten Poe's Law at an inopportune time when first seeing this post. But I have to say that I have been wrong twice now, mea culpa, mea magna culpa.
I've got some general disagreements with where I think you are coming from, but on the specific case of Christoper Hitchens, yes, he was an absolute man-child.
"My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday." - G.K. Chesterton
i'm uncommitted either way
i'm uncommitted either way hell, i am trying to seek and find the truth. i think there is a hard line, on one side nietzsche is the truth -- subjectivism, uncertainty of all rational truths, and the person as the center and gravity of all values, and on the other side -- theism, order, logos, the soundness of rational truth, etc. i just don't know which is true!
They are both true
And also neither.
People waste so much energy chasing certainty. Like with women, I let the certainty chase me.

But what if Truth is a woman, what then?
Truth is a hungry tigress, and she is patient,
Truth is a river, and I am a river rock,
Truth is a naked beauty, beckoning,
Truth is a hammer, lying on the ground.

Brotherly love (Ha, ha)
Good debate re two propositions:
~ The invasion of Iraq was wrong; and
~ God does not exist.
Christopher Hitchens is among those (including Glenn Beck) whom I liked, but less and less the more I listened or read. Regardless, may his soul rest in peace.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

More daily paul
Atheist bashing and ultra-bias showing. We get it, a lot of your are Christians and anyone who isn't should be downvoted and criticized for not being brought up with the same fairy tales as you.
No train to Stockholm.
Heh, your bitter tone betrays
Heh, your bitter tone betrays you. You sound defeated before the discussion even begins.
What discussion
Look at the comments and votes on that video. Everyone thinks Peter got crushed, and anyone who takes up the argument FOR Christianity or religion in the era of the internet is going to be wrong. There is too much information at everyone's fingertips to even begin a debate about religion being true.
You want to show me at what point Peter won this debate? Or even made a point that Christopher couldn't easily dismiss or counter? Give me the minute mark.
No train to Stockholm.
Did you just cite youtube
Did you just cite youtube comments as an authority?
No different from the daily paul
You think you're better than the people watching debates on youtube when you're commenting on the same video? How ignorant. You're just as uneducated as everyone else with a faith based opinion.
No train to Stockholm.
I wasn't commenting on it. I
I wasn't commenting on it. I was replying to your comment. I just posted it.
Criticizing citing youtube
When you're the one using it?
And the flooding the comments with adjective and insults, not even one point made in the debate? That is not making a point, that is whining and pointing fingers over nothing.
No train to Stockholm.
I didn't criticize youtube as
I didn't criticize youtube as a video sharing platform, I pointed out that you cited youtube comments as a source of authority. That was hilarious, and I thank you for it.
You claim I flooded the comments with adjectives. What's wrong with adjectives. You say insults, but which insults. You deny I made a point, but that's a specious tactic, anyone can deny anything.
You don't even have a grasp of the rudiments of logical discussion, it appears. Hence you are on the run, defensive, fleeting toward wild claims, not steady on your feet. You're falling over!
Going through your posts LukeO, the only person that I see whining and pointing fingers is you. You have a pretty massive inferiority complex if you think that Bill3 was inferring that posts here are superior to those on youtube. He was probably referring to the actual scholars who have studied this versus the legions of drones who simply believe everything that Richard Dawkins tells them.
Level with us LukeO, did you go into convulsions while mourning the loss of your beloved Christoper Hitchens?
"My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday." - G.K. Chesterton
hey go easy on Luke its wrong
hey go easy on Luke its wrong to kick an man while he's down let him lick his wounds, they are grievous. ; P
Is that an insult to Hitch?
Is that an insult to Hitch? Lol It would be below me to even talk to a nutcase like you if so.
Do you mean Chris "Exactly
Do you mean Chris "Exactly Wrong At Every Key Point" Hitchens? Yah, that guy. The one in the debate who couldn't even resist interrupting everyone. The lonely, dissolute, drunken buffoon. The child on the stage. George W. Bush's court jester. The conceited ape. In all his glory.
The socialist twerp in his youth, the neoconservative in his impotent adulthood, the guy who has to fix his hair every 20 seconds. That's the very man to whom I refer. The unreflective, vain, self conscious, popularity chasing, boy child... Pwned by his little brother.
Got something to say?
Wrong about what?
Yeah, he was a marxist/socialist who admitted that capitalism and markets were the best cure for poverty. So what if he drank? he was still 10 times more intelligent than you are. Hemingway was a drunk. So was Thojmas Paine. How many books have you written? How many articles have you had published? How many people have listened to you debate and overwhelmingly supported your argument? Hitchens' lectures on free speech, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, the history of the catholic church and on morality are light years ahead of anything you have the ability to come up with. I guarantee it. He was a neocon on foreign policy, no doubt, but that is hardly uncommon for people who live in DC to latch onto within the think tanks of foreign policy.
No train to Stockholm.
Well the drinking thing was a
Well the drinking thing was a pot shot. But he was much my intellectual inferior, and not much impressive to serious thinkers. He was a barely matured product of some kind of 18th century rationalism, unripened atheism of the Voltaire variety. Almost like he was born before the French revolution, or before Bolshevism, or Nietzsche, or evolutionary psychology.
I considered him wrong on nearly everything. He had engaged in some debates, but was a poor student of rhetoric, used cheap ploys, pandered to the crowd, displayed insecurity before the audiences applause, couldn't really hang when it came to strict logic. He managed to be on the wrong side of nearly every intellectual current at each historical juncture, almost as though it were an instinct.
His huge personal flaws and clownish behavior on the stage indicate his lack of maturity past a sophomoric level. He went to debates unprepared with even a cursory acquaintance with the other side, merely asserting his devotion to his own confused faith.
He was a poor substitute for a man.
What evidence do you have
For any of those claims?
He's a student of the enlightenment, of revolution and of mental emancipation. His trotskyite and marxist education was all but faded by the time he was a public figure. What personal behavior are you talking about? What confused faith? You sound like a scorned religious person, the very kind who go on and on about a person and never about what they said. He was right about religion, he was right about the sexes, he was right about henry kissinger, he was right about the clintons, he was right about the political class. Give me one example of him not "hanging" with strict logic, show me the debate. I guarantee you he won it by a landslide and the only ones attacking him instead of his argument thought any different.
No train to Stockholm.
He never grew out of his
He never grew out of his trotskyite/jacobin emotional phase, that's why he died an unrepentant neoconservative Bush booster, supporter of the iraq war, and male feminist of the single variety.
his hostility to religion betrayed a basic lack of understanding of religion, even from a purely evolutionary perspective. serious scholars like david sloan wilson understand religion from the naturalistic position, and do not have a childish faith in the perfectibility of mankind.
hitchens' faith consisted in the story of Man shackled by organized religion from his true nature of goodness and freedom, which is a centuries old notion that has no currency in modernity.
any serious thinker today who accepts naturalism has to have an evolutionary psych understanding of human nature, where religion is an adaptive mechanism for group cohesion and necessary to overcome individual nihilism and moral vacuum.
everything hitch would attribute to religion would actually be a natural attribute of human nature -- cruelty, violence, deception, proneness to accept hierarchy and fall in line, status competition, greed, political maneuvering, irrationality in beliefs.
they all afflict and plague secular society equally or more so and are political phenomenon rooted in human nature.
none of hitch's moral positions hold on a modern naturalism that accepts evolution, whether it be his egalitarianism, his Bushesque democracy worship, his trotskyite permanent revolution childishness. its historically and scientifically refuted.
he also was just totally wrong on most of the historical facts, as a cursory reading of a real historian like will durant would reveal. his facts were just old polemic and exploded myths from the same era has his ideology.
by the late 19th century and early 20th, no one really took seriously the kinds of ideas he clung to.
and this is all if Naturalism is true.
logically speaking, he was completely spanked on the metaphysical and philosophical debate over the foundations of materialism and scientism in debate with william craig for example.
he just took his materialism for granted as a given and assumed scientific materialism was some kind of self proving construct, not subject to the strictures of philosophical and formally logical truth.
he never faced any hard truths that contradicted his viewpoint, never challenged any truly sacred modern dogmas of political correctness, never defended the genuinely persecuted, unpopular points of view, never attacked any truly powerful class or ideology.
he was just a fake rebel and a preening spotlight seeker.

A Christian Community in the Roman Catholic Christian Tradition
Click here for a brief video about this year's campaign, Go Make Disciples.
Click HERE to donate through Catholic Relief Services.
When Jesus first noticed anyone showing any curiosity at all about Him, for example, where He lived, Jesus said: "Come and see." That is the invitation and welcome I would extend to you, Dear Reader. If there is anything you want to know about us, stop by and join us when we gather. If you want to know a family, watch them when they celebrate, when they party. When we gather for worship, to acknowledge who we are as a grateful People before a Loving God, this is when we are most what we hope to be.
For Jesus to have had such a powerfully permanent effect on so many people, He must have had an awesomely "attractive" personality. May we presume that something of this "attraction" is what prompted you to check us out from this safe distance behind your PC?
We hope the next step is liberating for you. Come to search the Truth with us; it is this Truth that Jesus promised will set us all free! What a marvelous gift! Welcome!

Vanity in Washington: Only Number Eight in the Nation
Washington, D.C. is tops in the nation when it comes to hot air and hubris. But not vanity. There it only comes in at number eight.
Our women are beautiful. Our men are metrosexual. And, we think other Washingtonians are superficial.
These are the findings of the "Vanity Survey," a nationwide LivingSocial poll that pitted egos against egos to find out which city is America's vainest.
Based on the question, "How good-looking do you think you are?", Washington, D.C., ranked as the eighth vainest city.
Denizens of "the most important city in the most important country in the world," as a bank once advertised, had better get busy. It is hard to imagine Washington behind on any conceivable measure of self-absorption.
