Our Friend's Food that We Sell!
Laconiko Olive Oil
Laconiko Olive Oil 500mL/16.9fl.oz is $25. Laconiko olive oil is a fourth generation family of olive oil producers whose estate is on the sandy beaches of Southern Peloponnese, just outside Sparti, Greece. The relatively small number of olive trees on their estate, surrounded by orange and grapefruit trees, allows for an olive oil that is unique and wonderful. The family is committed to bringing a true extra virgin olive oil to the States, this years harvest has a low acidity of 0.13% (to be an extra virgin acidity must be below 0.8%). Brothers, Diamantis and Dino, reside in Gainesville, VA, but take turns returning to their family's olive estate to work the land with their father. Laconiko olive oil is on Weston A. Price's "best" list for their shopping guide. http://laconiko.com/index.html
Wild Salmon
Wild Caught Bristol Bay, Alaskan Salmon Filet Portions $18/lb. (.4 lb.). We came across a northern Virginia native who has relocated to Bristol Bay Alaska as a fisherman! Here is the fisherman's description: "Wild caught in Bristol Bay, Alaska, the largest true certified wild sustainable salmon fishery in the world. After being caught, fish are bled on the spot for higher quality, then stored in 33-35 degree refrigerated seawater until off loaded to tender-ships. Tender-ships transport the salmon from the fishing grounds to the salmon processing plant where the fish are filleted, de-boned and flash frozen. This entire process takes place from the water to the freezer all within 24-30 hours. I have been a Professional Commercial Fishermen in Bristol Bay, Alaska, for seven years. Originally growing up in Fairfax, Virginia I started off by bringing back personally caught fish for family and friends to enjoy. After taking extreme care of our fish on the fishermen's side, I have seen the poor quality of salmon offered in local stores. Therefore, I am offering the highest quality salmon available. Our salmon comes directly from me the fishermen then to you, the consumer."

correspondent Kristen Schmitt recently published "Building Sustainable Futures with Agroecology," an article that shows how researchers are combining lessons from the past with new approaches to growing and raising food.
GMC is a national pioneer in agroecology, and Schmitt cites the College's Long-Term Ecological Assessment of Farming Systems (LEAFS) as a model for efforts to build sustainable food systems.
"LEAFS manages three production systems for at least ten years and assesses the land utilization, labor productivity, energy requirements, and 'the role of soil ecosystems in enabling production with low energy and nutrient inputs in human and animal powered systems.'"

Nicholas Ravotti Receives EPA Fellowship
Nick Ravotti '14 recently received a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Greater Research Opportunities Undergraduate Fellowship. As an EPA Fellow, Nick will receive support for his junior and senior years of undergraduate study at GMC and for a summer internship at an EPA facility. The fellowship provides up to $19,700 per year of academic support and up to $9,500 of internship support for the three-month summer period, for a total of up to $48,900 for the two year period.
Nick is working on undergraduate degrees in environmental studies in public policy, environmental business management, and natural resources management.
"These degrees give me a broad knowledge base of the political, economic, and scientific dynamics embedded in environmental issues. Beyond the financial benefits, this fellowship will allow me to conduct a significant research project regarding water quality issues and agri-environmental policies specifically related to the Clean Water Act, an area of particular interest to me," Nick said.
His research project will involve the Vermont state plan for phosphorus TMDL (total maximum daily load) in Lake Champlain, which has recently been disapproved by EPA, and will investigate how best to address agricultural storm water runoff from local farms into streams and rivers that feed into the lake.
Following his undergraduate education, Nick intends on enrolling in a joint J.D./Master's of Environmental Law and Policy program at Vermont Law School.
Last spring, Nick won a $5000 grant from the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship program, which supported his study in GMC's exchange program with the School of Law at Japan's Nagoya University.
GMC Harriers Roll
The GMC women's cross-country team placed three runners in the top ten en route to a second place finish at the Southern Vermont College Invitational 5K on Saturday morning. The result continues a great stretch for the women's program, which has not finished lower than second all year.
Leading the way for the Eagles were Junior Dakota Van Tine (Four Season, Mo.) who placed fourth with a time of 24:15, while sophomore Peyton Jones (Asheville, N.C.) finished fifth, just three seconds behind. Freshman Shannon Currie (Milford, N.J.) finished 10th. Junior Abigail Saline (York Beach, Maine) posted a time of 26:30, finishing right behind Currie in 11th spot. The Eagles also received a strong effort from senior Taylor Conley (Yorktown, Va.) who bested her time on the SVC course from last year by a whopping two minutes and 26 seconds.
This performance followed on the heels of a first place finish by the woman's team at the Three Stallion Inn-Vocational on Saturday, Sept. 15. Van Tine completed the 5K course in a time of 22:45, followed by Jones, whose time of 22:54 shattered her previous best at the VTC course by over a minute. Senior Whitney Rose, Currie and Saline all placed within the top ten. Sophomore Katherine Gets (Henniker, N.H.) competed in her first race of the year and placed 13th. Junior Libby Davis (Scarborough, Maine) and Conley rounded out the Eagle contingent of runners finishing 14th and 15th.
Collaborative Performance with Erika Lawlor Schmidt

The Proper Study of Men
To the Editor:
. . . In reviewing Milton Rokeach's The Three Christs of Ypsilanti: A Narrative Study of Three Lost Men [June], George P. Elliott expends his considerable energies from the first paragraph on, in charging up the reader's adrenalin. But as for what the book contains—one remains uninformed. In describing what Rokeach "did to these madmen," "without their knowledge or permission," Elliott uses various tricks of rhetoric: "Wonderful," "yes, indeed," "My God!" "Alas," and here and there the exclamation point. He peppers the review throughout with value terms and various gibes and sneers, . . . not only against Rokeach but also against science generally and psychology as a science in particular. . . .
Implicit in this scoffing is an issue with which psychologists have long been familiar. Are men to study themselves? They have directed their curiosity at ants, algae, the distant stars, the dung beetle. But the area closest to them, their essential selves, is to remain a dark continent, unexplored, to be left entirely to the artistic temperament. Mr. Elliott reminds us that Cervantes knew all about it. True, and so did a few others. And were we all—or more of us, at least—Cervantes, Aeschylus, Dostoievski, Shakespeare, then a science of the human personality would not be necessary. But since such superb intelligences are so extremely rare, . . . something can be said for methodical approaches, for observations made under conditions of intellectual control. . . .
Mr. Elliott's very positive and finalistic judgment of Rokeach's book is that "as a scientific explanation of the human psyche, it is awful." A reviewer is, of course, obligated to state his honest judgment, but I find no evidence that Mr. Elliott, a writer of fiction, poetry, essays, and book reviews in literary magazines, is equipped to sit in judgment on science or on psychology.
This letter is not in support of Rokeach's book, which I have not seen, nor is it in defense of Rokeach, whom I do not know personally. But Elliott directs his scorn also at ". . . another behavioral scientist named Norman Cameron." I do know Cameron well. He has devoted a lifetime both as psychologist and psychiatrist to a careful, conscientious study of psychopathology. What sets Elliott up as an authority on Norman Cameron?
This review is an example of the abandon that characterizes the "romantic" temper in literature: egotistic, self-vaunting, and rationalized by a school of philosophy in which the world is self-centered and the individual is the Absolute. . . . About what Rokeach actually tried to do in this book we obtain only spotty information nearer the end of the review than its beginning. First, the verdict—off with their heads!—the evidence afterward. The reader acquainted with the field under investigation will slough off a review of this kind. . . . Where it can do harm is to the layman who seeks dependable guidance about ideas with which he has a limited acquaintance and of which he would like to know more.
Samuel J. Beck
Department of Psychology
University of Chicago
Chicago, Illinois
To the Editor:
George P. Elliott's incredible review of The Three Christs of Ypsilanti compounds, rather than clarifies, the fallacies of Dr. Rokeach's approach. Rokeach, as the fourth "God," is an irrelevant misconception: his shoddy scientific method is his biggest failure, although his motivations may be noble.
The careful investigator tries to extract data in a manner which enables him to predict and control (and thus, in part, to understand) specified behavior patterns. Assembling elementary data (which do not seem to interest Mr. Elliott) is a central objective of experimental psychology; it is only by this method that a scientific knowledge of human behavior will ever be realized.
Dr. Rokeach and many fellow social psychologists pursue the impossible task of attempting to analyze highly complex human behavior patterns with only an imperfect knowledge of the simpler (component?) units of behavior. By skipping conceptual stages, they fail as rigorous scientists.
But I am afraid that the stricter scientific psychology would inflame Mr. Elliott's ire even more than Dr. Rokeach's analysis. Mr. Elliott's apparent interest in abstruse complexities will not bring us closer to understanding the simplest realities.
Michael Terman
Department of Psychology
Columbia University
New York City
To the Editor:
In his incredibly pompous critique, . . . George P. Elliott expresses the common sophomoric bromide that social scientists waste a lot of time questioning things that most of us take for granted. . . . Since Mr. Elliott spends a lot of space lecturing us about the beliefs of the scientist (in lieu of actually describing Rokeach's book), he must know that it is part of the belief system of all scientists to question all "truths" regardless of how obvious they may seem, . . . including such well-known truths as the flatness of the earth, the revolution of the sun around the earth, and the intellectual inferiority of Negroes. Elliott justifiably credits Dante with a brilliant insight—but to a scientist this insight takes the form of an interesting hypothesis. The fact that Elliott happens to believe it is true does not, in and of itself, place it beyond the domain of scientific inquiry. I wonder if Elliott has the perspicacity to appreciate the irony of his accusing Rokeach of playing God while, in the same breath, placing himself upon Olympus as the arbiter of what social scientists should and should not take for granted.
Elliot Aronson
Department of Psychology
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Mr. Elliott writes:
Professors Aronson, Beck, and Terman are offended that the report of an experiment by a reputable social psychologist has been subjected by a non-scientist to standards other than scientific.
The Three Christs of Ypsilanti was subtitled "A Narrative Study of Three Lost Men" and was published not as a learned monograph for the profession but in good part as a story for the general public: among other things the book is a work of literature subject to literary judgment. Moreover, since it advances a theory of epistemology, it is subject to philosophical judgment as well. (For a cogent satire on the epistemological muddle and foolishness of a great deal of writing by psychologists, see "The Circumnavigation of Cognition" by Benbow F. Ritchie, professor of psychology at the University of California, in the Psychological Review for May 1953.) Whether my judgments on the literary and philosophical issues are good or bad, they are relevant to the book, and my not being a scientist has no bearing either on them or on my right to them. Storytelling and epistemology are not scientific enterprises.
But these are lesser quarrels. The graver one is ethical. Dr. Rokeach's experiment broke no laws, injured none of the subjects physically, and was intended to gather data of possible use to psychological theory and practice. The moral question is: Ought the actions of a psychologist during the performance of such an experiment be subjected to moral scrutiny? My three critics implicitly answer: No, these actions must be judged by scientific criteria. This attitude strikes me as having less in common with defending humane inquiry than with guarding a mystery cult, with high priests protecting the sanctity of their rites from violation by the profane.
My position is that the ways people connect with one another are of universal interest and concern, and ought not to be considered the exclusive domain of any one group of men (for example, theologians) or of any one mode of treatment (for example, storytelling) . The moment a man employs institutional power to confront three delusional Christs with each other, in his presence, and without their prior knowledge, he has performed an action which is subject to the criteria of moral judgment no less than to those of scientific method.
It is quite possible to argue that this act (of an ethical nature not uncommon in contemporary psychological experiments) is justified because it purposes a greater good attainable by no other method. I would argue generally that such acts are not so justified, and I did argue specifically that they were not justified in Dr. Rokeach's case because he demonstrated in his story a lack of that self-knowledge necessary to anyone, especially to a scientist of the mind, who undertakes an operation of such delicacy. But any arguing on the subject presupposes the possibility of making moral assumptions shared by both parties to the argument. To maintain, even implicitly, that the actions of Dr. Rokeach during his experiment are exempt from moral criteria, because they were performed by a scientist in the discharge of his duties is intellectually inadmissible. It is to make a coffin of scientific method, pull the lid down on yourself, and lock it from the inside.

Lyric soprano Mela Dailey displayed an exceptionally lovely voice in the ubiquitous "O mio babbino caro," from Giacomo Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi." The voice is pure and well-supported, reminiscent of Anna Moffo.
Dailey also showed great dramatic versatility, moving from the tender pathos of Mimi in selections from Puccini's "La Boheme," and the clowning sexiness she assumed in Musetta's "Waltz" ("Quando m'en vo") from that same opera, to Gilda's horror in witnessing the cynicism and lechery of her lover in Giuseppe Verdi's masterful "Quartet" from "Rigoletto."

Cancer-Focused Research:
Dr. Hope's group is focusing on the study of the cell biology of HIV. HIV can influence cancer both by weakening the immune system and direct involvement in cell transformation. Patients with AIDS are more susceptible to cancers including some with a direct viral etiology. Overall, the work in Dr. Hope's laboratory is directed at understanding basic HIV replication that may result in new therapies directed at HIV replication that could reduce the incidence of HIV-associated cancers. Work in Dr. Hope's laboratory determined the mechanism of the stimulation of HIV infectivity by dendritic cells through the process of trans-infection. This analysis defined the infectious synapse, which is formed at the site of contact between the dendritic cells and target cells and has some similarities with the infectious synapse. The concentration of HIV from the dendritic cells with receptors on the target cells at the site of contact facilitates infection. This appears to be a common mechanism for the stimulation of infectivity by dendritic cells by a number of viral and bacterial pathogens. Recent studies published in PNAS provided important insights into the function of the endogenous antiretroviral factor TRIM5alpha. These studies revealed that TRIM5alpha restricts HIV infection in two steps, one that involved proteasome function. Subsequent studies demonstrate that the same is true of the restriction of infection of the potentially oncogenic mouse retroviruses by human TRIM5alpha. Other studies focus on defining the dynamic in teractions of HIV with its receptor and coreceptor on the cell surface. Overall, Dr. Hope's studies provide important insights into the retroviral lifecycle and the dynamic interplay between the virus and cells. These results defined with HIV can also be applied to the human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV) and other oncogenic viruses.

An article in Politico Pro this morning entitled High Stakes for FTC in Google Outcome says that the FTC's "reputation is on the line" if it decides to punt on the Google antitrust case — just as it did the Microsoft antitrust case a decade earlier.
The FTC under Chairman Jon Leibowitz fought hard with the Department of Justice for the right to investigate Google for antitrust violations over search manipulation, and now appears poised to conclude there's no there there.
From the article:
"If the FTC fails to act on the search manipulation claim, there will be a large, loud echoing outcry from the industry," said a former FTC lawyer who asked not to be named. "The thinking is that the commission will get vilified if it fails to act in a meaningful way. It will essentially amount to a Google exception to the well-settled policy that violations of antitrust law should be followed by a consent decree."
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), a former state AG in Connecticut, said in an interview that he couldn't speculate on what the FTC will do or is doing, but he said there are alternatives if the FTC probe fails to generate results. "If the [FTC] investigation concludes without a finding that would warrant some action, the Justice Department can take action as well to investigate and secure remedies," he said.
And wouldn't that be the grand irony — if, once again, the Department of Justice and the state Attorney Generals had to come in and clean up after the FTC, just as they did in the Microsoft case.
"The FTC started investigating in 1990 but in 1993 could not decide what to do and as a result did nothing" says Gary Reback, the Silicon Valley antitrust attorney whose work basically embarrassed the government into pursuing antitrust charges against Microsoft. "The Justice Department picked up the investigation a few months later and after several investigations and a lot of travail, brought the winning case in 1998. The FTC could have brought that kind of case years earlier."
The irony gets even thicker when you consider that if it wasn't for the Microsoft antitrust action, it's possible there would be no Google.
"It is worth noting that Microsoft understood the threat Google posed to the Microsoft monopoly and could have and would have killed Google in the cradle but for all the investigations and cases against it," says Reback.
The commissioners are evidently looking for a "political solution" that makes everyone — including Google — happy. But finding "political solutions" isn't really the job of a regulatory agency.
"If the FTC doesn't do something significant many will ask why we have an FTC in the first place" says Reback. "Just let DOJ handle monopoly cases. In fact, we might not need an FTC at all since it doesn't seem to be doing anything significant in terms of protecting privacy either."
The Justice Department does not have jurisdiction over privacy, and Reback's comments no doubt refer to the recent FTC settlement with Google over the Safari hack, which allowed Google to deny liability despite being caught red handed. Reback represented Consumer Watchdog in a challenge to the settlement, which resulted in Judge Susan Illston granting Google the right to retain the data they hacked from up to 190 million Safari users — even though FTC Commissioner J. Thomas Rosch explicitly states that this was never the intention of the commissioners.
Commissioner Edith Ramirez has declined to contradict Rosch, and the entire episode made the FTC look like a bit of a clown car.
Google is already under investigation by several state attorney generals including the Texas Attorney General, who is suing Google for refusing to turn over documents (per John Paczkowski of allthingsd).
It's expected that Leibowitz will leave the FTC by the end of the year, and he'd like to wrap up the Google antitrust case before he does. But if he decides that his swan song will be another softball settlement for Google, his legacy at the FTC would likely be the agency's irrelevance in the digital age.

August 27, 2013: Workers' pensions are under attack. Chicago's mayor says earned pensions must be cut. Detroit has declared bankruptcy, and Michigan's governor says 21,000 retirees should pay the bill for it.
One of the biggest attacks is aimed straight at Teamster retirees, especially the 211,000 in the Central States Pension Fund. And if corporate America gets away with cutting their pensions, it's going to spread like cancer.
And the worst part is, the Hoffa administration is not fighting back. In fact, they are part of the problem.
It's time for Teamsters to stand up and be counted. All Teamsters and retirees have a stake in this. If you think it's only going to affect the Central States Fund, think again. If our Teamster pensions are not guaranteed, but only a suggestion, then yours can be cut too.
The Poison Proposal
As soon as September, a bill will likely be introduced into the US Congress to allow "deeply troubled" pension plans to cut the benefits of all retirees and cut the already-earned credits of active workers.
The proposal from the National Coordinating Committee of Multi-Employer Plans (NCCMP) is to allow such plans, including Central States, to cut existing pensions in extreme cases to 10 percent over the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) limit of about $1,100 per month.
This would remove a basic protection of our federal pension law. And it is being supported by our Teamster leadership and the Central States Pension Fund, along with major employers like UPS, SuperValu and others.
The bill is based on a document called Solutions Not Bailouts. This document has a number of good elements, but the key part of it is a poisonous proposal to slash pensions as a "solution" to the problems of some pension funds.
TDU is joining with others in labor and consumer and retiree advocates who want to make sure our earned pensions are protected.
What Should be Done To Protect Pensions?
- Stop the move to allow the Central States Plan (and other "deeply troubled plans") from slashing retirees' pensions, possibly as low as 10 percent above the PBGC maximum of $1,100 per month for a 30-year pension.
- Propose enhanced protection from the PBGC. It is presently funded by tiny contributions from various pension plans: increase them to provide real insurance for benefits.
- End the discrimination in benefit protection against multiemployer (union) plans by the PBGC: raise the covered benefit level, which is now only about $1,100 per month for a 30-year Teamster.
- Put forward a version of the bill proposed by Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) in 2010, to protect the pensions of workers whose companies have gone bankrupt or moved production offshore. This protection would be a boon to our Teamster pension funds and retirees.
Will You Join the Fight To Protect Pensions?
We are forming a Teamster Pension Defense Committee of interested retirees and active Teamsters. If you are willing to be part of the solution, contact us at 313-842-2600 or click here.
We need people willing to write or visit Congressional Representatives, and people who will travel to Washington D.C. when hearings are held, to be present and demand that Teamster retirees be heard.
"Corporate America has their sights set on pensions, and right now the cross hairs are on Teamsters. It's high time for us to band together, join with other unionists and concerned retirees, and fight back."

attack on retiree benefits
Mr. Savwoir, TDU Steering Committee, Retiree, Local 41, KC
I attended the April 2013 meeting at local 41. What I heard from Central States was BS attempting to fool me and other retirees that everything was OK. Clearly things are not OK. The Fund has not managed ethically and responsibly. Nor has the employer YRC for years. Hoffa is willing to stab retirees and workers in the back, so the company and Fund can clear their debt balance sheet in the guise of rendering it a "solution" to their financial mess they created. Trustees are obviously playing the same tune, willing to harm retirees lives, yet collecting their millions in earnings as trustees.
Retirees & workers all need to receive a letter telling them to call their Congressman, Senator, and demand that they vote no on any legislation backed by Nat'l Coordinating Committee For Multiemployer Plans, Trustees, Central States, Earl Pomeroy with Alston, a lobbyist for this gross error in judgment.
The Funds need to either slash the monstrous pay of the Trustees, CEOs, or raise dues to get the Funds on a stable footing. Or do both.
This proposal by NCCMP & lobbyists does not strengthen the plans and keep employees in the system. Employees will opt out if their benefits are slashed further. And the Funds will merely continue their gross mismanagement skills. The suspension of collective bargaining agreement on retirees under the guise of resuing the plans in "critical" status to below PBGC guaranteed levels, will sound the death rattle of unions. Because workers will not wish to continue within a union if their benefits evaporate. The Fund, employers, Hoffa made a promise to retirees and they must live up to their word.
Congress must understand their actions removing the basic protections under Federal pension law will destroy thousands of Americans lives dependent on their pensions to live.

Orphaned Workers
The real problem is orphaned workers. There are too many piglets and not enough teets. If these workers had been in a single employer plan they would have already been turned over to the government and be getting their checks from them. Demanding that those companies left and their workers lose 60% (and growing) of the monies being put into a fund for THEM is an outrage. This pension fix to clean the books of pension obligation for workers from companies long since gone is LONG over due.
POKE replied on Permalink
Orphaned Workers PAID IN FULL
There is a real problem with America understanding orphaned workers already paid the money into the pension fund. The present workers ARE NOT paying our pensions. The monies for our pensions was put in as we worked for 20, 30, 40 years and that investment is being returned to us NOW. There is NO HANDOUT or GIFT to us. We earned it as part of our pay package INSTEAD OF BIGGER WAGES.

explore the extremes
NEMO's logo is based on a medieval shield. Medieval armorers would spend countless hours investing beauty and function into a knight's armor to provide the greatest protection and good fortune on the battlefield. That's a perfect metaphor when it comes to equipment for mountaineering and exploration. Making equipment for survival in extreme environments carries a big responsibility that NEMO takes very seriously.

Love is so complicating why did it happen to me?

All this pain on my heart is hurting deeply,Why did love have to love me?
We always find amends when things are off the track,
But right now i think its all wrong, it all hurts, Let me go back.
Back to the way i was before i found love, back to me.....

Go Drugstore for Dry Skin: Aveeno Has Your Fix
Aveeno is one of my favorite drugstore brands, because it is soothing, gentle, and works when it comes to healing and dealing with incredibly dry skin. My sister and I both suffered from ridiculously dry skin as babies, and this is what our dermatologist recommended (in addition to a prescription medicine–yes, it was that bad!). My sister suffers from dry skin even now, while I've lucked out with mostly normal skin (though my legs can get scaly). Aveeno is a brand I trust to help me cope with making sure my legs are dragonscale-free so I can show 'em off all summer long without scaring away the children!
This summer, I am really loving their Eczema Care Body Wash & Moisturizing Cream ($9.99 each) (not pictured), because these two products are meant to soothe and help with the most intense skin issues. I use these and my legs feel SO soft and hydrated, even as the day wears on. I actually feel pretty good just using the body wash, surprisingly! If I'm running late, I imagine I could probably skip lotioning up if I had to and be okay. Their Stress Relief Foaming Bath ($5.99) is a soothing bath additive to help you come down from the excitement of the day, and the soft notes of lavender and chamomile, along with ylang-ylang, definitely turn a terrible day into one you can cope with. And you know me, I'm a total lip balm junkie, and we often forget to put SPF on our lips, so here's Essential Moisture ($3.49) to save the day with SPF 15 in a product that keeps my lips moisturized for hours.

After 37 years on lam, killer caught in Fla.By CURT ANDERSON and SUZETTE LABOY
the associated press | March 15,2014ap photo
This frame grab shows the home of James Robert Jones in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Jones, 59, was arrested Thursday in Deerfield Beach. He had escaped from a military prison at Fort Leavenworth in 1977 where he was serving a 23-year sentence for premeditated murder and aggravated assault.DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. In the nearly 40 years after he escaped from the maximum-security military prison at Fort Leavenworth, convicted killer James Robert Jones carved out a new life for himself in Florida, living under an assumed name, getting married and working for an air conditioning company.
It all came to an end this week when Jones or Bruce Walter Keith, as the former Army private was known in Florida was recaptured with the help of technology that was more sci-fi than reality when he broke out during the disco era: facial-recognition software.
The first words out of his mouth were, I knew this would catch up with me someday, Barry Golden, a senior inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service, said Friday.
Jones, 59, was one of the Armys 15 most-wanted fugitives after his 1977 escape from the Kansas prison dubbed The Castle for its large walls and tower keeps.
He was convicted of murder and assault in the 1974 killing of a fellow soldier at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
According to the archives of The Times of Trenton, Jones, who is originally from Ontario, Calif., was found guilty in the stabbing death of Lonnie Eaton, 18, and the wounding of another man. Police at the time said Eaton and a friend were walking back to the base from a bar when they were attacked by three men with knives after one approached and asked if they had any marijuana to sell.
Jones was serving a 23-year sentence when he escaped.
The marshals caught up with Jones on Thursday after using facial-recognition technology to match a Florida drivers license he was issued in 1981 in Keiths name with his old military photograph.
Jones was arrested outside the Pompano Beach business where he worked.
He admitted his real identity as he was being fingerprinted, and the prints confirmed it. He was being held without bail at the Broward County jail, awaiting transfer back to Fort Leavenworth.
No one responded to a voice mail left at a number listed for Bruce Keith at his Deerfield Beach address. Property records show he and wife Susan Keith were married in 1983 and have lived there since 1984.
Susan Keith, 56, told investigators she had no idea her husband was living under an assumed name, Golden said.
No one answered the door Friday at their tidy, single-story, light-gray house. Parked in the driveway was a red pickup with a Miami Dolphins logo, and a fishing boat on a trailer was visible behind a fence.
Neighbors were shocked at the news.
They are nice people. Thats what I dont understand. I couldnt understand that he ever got involved with something like that. I just cant believe it, said Joe Onischuk, who has lived across the street for more than 30 years.
Tammy Deangelis, who lives next door, said: We would all get together. Its a friendly quiet neighborhood. Good neighbors. Didnt even know he was in the military. If we had any air conditioning problems, we would go to him.
The investigation into Jones escape had gone cold until last year, when an Army liaison to the Marshals Service happened to mention the case and asked for help. The marshals began working on it January.
Jones military photo was compared against Floridas database of drivers license photos and yielded a hit.
U.S. law enforcement authorities frequently use such technology to track down fugitives or identify suspects at airports and in other public places.
The license issued under Keiths name had a different day and month of birth than Jones, but the year was the same. After officers picked him up, Jones wouldnt even respond to his real name, perhaps because he had been living under an alias for so long, Golden said.MORE IN Wire NewsBEIRUT Turkey and the United States have agreed on the outlines of a plan to rout the Islamic...

Although education researchers have drawn on the work of a wide diversity of theorists, a number of these have been of particular significance to education. While the likes of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, John Dewey and Paulo Freire influenced previous generations of educational theorists, much of the more contemporary theory building has revolved around a quartet of well-known and much-debated thinkers Jacques Derrida, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault and Jürgen Habermas. However, while the influence of these thinkers has grown considerably over the last number of years, both their original work and its application to education can prove challenging to the educational practitioner. This edited book expertly rectifies this omission in educational theory, and delivers a text that is both advanced and accessible, offering the education practitioner/researcher a suitable guide to assist their acquisition and application of social theory. Importantly, the book contextualizes the various theories within the broader context of social philosophy and the historical development of different forms of thought. This approach makes the building of connections between various theories a much more accessible and adroidt process. Central to this is an exploration of the particular ways in which the work of Bourdieu et al have contributed to the following areas: Inequality and schooling Notions of educational selves and subjectivities Curricular and pedagogical practice Performativity, audit cultures and accountability This book will be incredibly useful to post-graduate student teachers who wish to develop their capacity to engage with these debates at an advanced level. It will also prove of great interest to anyone involved in Educational policy and theory.

Bronzed, Oiled and Spread
Speaking of big wet butts, Nikki Sexx is probably the owner of the most fuckable ass in the industry. She is a sweet sexy blonde with big ass covered by a tight bikini. She knows when she wants it and how she wants to be fucked in the ass, and that is to get hard and rough. Well tonight is the night she's been waiting for a long time, to meet someone who can go with her sexual drive. Erik, a mascular guy with a huge cock is here to take the challenge. They start with some teasing to turn the heat on, some dirty talking and dirty dancing until Erik strips Nikki to nothing revealing her tits and pink tight pussy. Nikki jerks Erik's dick that makes it hard as rock then drops to her knees and sticks her tongue out licking slowly from tip to bottom. Erik returned the pleasure by eating her sweet vagina making her horny as a whore then he gets the oil and pours it all over Nikki's cheeks. He rubs it first all over her body and then direct to her ass hole. He rims it first and play with her tongue before penetrating in several positions. It seems like Erik knows what Nikki wants in terms of hardcore action. At the end you will witness a one of a kind creampie with a twist! Must see!

By Army Cpl. Daniel Eddy1st Armored Division
BAGHDAD, Sept. 27, 2010 An Army father promoted his Army daughter during a Sept. 19 ceremony held at Camp Liberty here.
Army Warrant Officer Romeo Garin, a maintenance technician, promoted his daughter, Army 2nd Lt. Aiana Janica Garin, a communications officer with Company B of the 1st Armored Division's special troops battalion, to first lieutenant in front of a group of fellow soldiers.
"This is a great family affair," said Lt. Col. Lane Turner, the newly promoted lieutenant's battalion commander.
This is now-1st Lt. Garin's first deployment to Iraq; her father had deployed with the 1st Armored Division in 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. When she'd got word that her father would return to Iraq this July, she knew that she wanted him to promote her.
"It's a huge deal," Garin said of having her father promote her. "It means a lot to me to be serving under the same division as my dad. This is my first promotion and it was an honor."
The father said he was very proud to have the chance to promote his daughter and that Army values helped him to raise her.
"I can apply it to my kids on how to be successful in life and how to discipline yourself," he said.
Even though father and daughter serve in the same division in Iraq, they are not in the same location. Garin is stationed at Camp Liberty while her father is stationed farther west at Camp Ramadi.
Garin's father was at Camp Liberty for a maintenance course and he was fortunate to have the dates coincide with his daughter's promotion.
Next year, Garin's daughter will return the favor by promoting him to Chief Warrant Officer 2.

Madhesis' recruitment: Application seeks nullification of SC stay order
An application has been filed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday seeking nullification of the writ filed against the government decision to recruit Madhesi youths into the Nepal Army. The petitioner duo Sunil Ranjan Singh and Deependra Jha has argued that the writ filed was based on media reports and has not taken the policy paper of the government into account. The petitioners have also sought nullification of the interim order issued by the court on the matter.
The Supreme Court (SC) on December 26 had stayed the government decision to recruit 3,000 Madhesi youths into the Nepal Army (NA). The court had said the government bid to recruit en masse members of a particular social group in the name of inclusion was against the spirit of the Interim Constitution. Any government effort aimed at making the Army more inclusive, the court said, should ensure inclusion of all the marginalised groups, including Madhesis, indigenous community, ethnic groups, Dalits, women and other backward groups.
The court pointed out that it had to intervene also because the government failed to follow the due legal process. As per Article 144 (4) (A) of the constitution, the government has to make some necessary legal provisions to make the NA inclusive by bringing in Madhesi, indigenous ethnic groups, Dalits, women, and people from the backward regions.
Responding to the SC's stay order, the government had clarified that the process was undertaken as per the existing laws.
The reply furnished by Defence Minister Bijaya Gachhadar on January 16 to the apex court states that the recruitment is not taking place on the basis of bulk entry as claimed by the writ petitioner. He clarified that the government's policy paper regarding Madhesi youths' recruitment into the Nepal Army has called for undertaking programmes that will encourage the underrepresented communities to join the NA.

This article aims to help photographers wondering how to effectively achieve long exposure shots with one single exposure.

Perugia Photography /
One of the highlights of traveling through Tuscany is the opportunity to explore and photograph the towns along the way. Perugia is one of the lesser visited towns in Tuscany, typically passed over by tourists and photographers. I found my way to Perugia because I wanted the unique experience of staying in a former castle and booked two nights at Castello di Monterone. During my stay in Perugia I made sure to intermix travel and landscape photography along the way.Read More
Photography & Tuscany /
Tuscany has long been viewed as one of the most popular destinations for landscape photographers. During the late spring and early summer travel photographers flock to this area to explore the winding roads and beautiful views. I had put off this trip for several years in lieu of other destinations including Iceland and Canada. Finally I made my way through the region of Tuscany to fully explore the landscape photography opportunities. My opinion is clear - Tuscany is worth it in every way. These pictures from Tuscany are a part of my Italy Art Gallery presentation which is also viewed on my regular portfolio website.

Comparing Sunflower Photography Compositions /
Photographing nature and flowers can be extremely rewarding yet challenging for photographers of all levels. The number one thing to remember with shooting all formats and styles of photography is to remember there is no wrong way to do it. Photography is an art - within that art lies composition. Each photographer has their own style and creative touches - but where we can go wrong is to constantly focus our photography on outside influences opposed to your own style. Recently in Italy I explored several sunflower fields to practice my nature photography - coming away with two examples of composing sunflowers. Both of these photographs are a part of my Italy Art Gallery presentation featured on my portfolio website. This is not a vote to compare which photo is better, rather to explore two different styles I used to photograph these sunflowers.

Why am I donating 10% to Parkinson's Disease? /

New Kickstarter Project /
Have you ever looked into Kickstarter? This interesting website allows for anyone to create their own project and utilize the web to draw investors. I recently created a new Kickstarter project I would love all of my readers to take a look at:
"Walking Within A Dream" - Kickstarter Project
The short version of this project is this is a photobook professional designed to display the highest quality landscape images from Europe - including Croatia, Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland.
Why Should You Back This Project?
The goal of this project is to create a book of these travels to document the landscapes and culture the way I see it. By supporting this project you are supporting the first steps in remembering this beautiful world. As I reached 30 years old, my memory began to fade rather quickly. While many people have the ability to recall the finest details of the most important and beautiful moments of their lives, the smells, the sounds, the feelings, and something as simple as the location… I do not.
This turning point in my life transformed photography from a focus of people, life and culture to a focus of documenting the details and experiences in my life I would otherwise forget. The focus of this photobook is to take only the highest quality, limited edition prints from my travels through Europe to present a vivid, inspiring gallery of images into a collection. My photography has been internationally published and displayed in galleries in the United States. My current theme "Undiscovered California" is currently on display in a gallery in Sacramento, CA.
This photobook is a rare opportunity to become invested in over twenty pieces of previously unpublished photographs that will become a part of future presentations. The funds raised will go directly into the design and printing of this photobook and it's distribution. Investing $150 will also give you a copy of the photobook for your own piece of Europe to display in your home.
The rewards are pretty cool for investing --
$10: Postcard + Personalized Thank You Card
$30: 5x7 Premium Photo + Postcard + Personalized Thank You Card
$50: 8x10 Premium Photo + Listed in Photobook + 5 Postcards + Personalized Thank You Card
$150: 8x10 Premium Photo + One Copy of the Photobook +Listed in Photobook + 10 Postcards + Personalized Thank You Card

$1,000: 24x36 ready to hang metal print + One Hour Photography Online Tutorial + One Copy of the Photobook +Listed in Photobook + 10 Postcards + Personalized Thank You Card
Even if you don't want to back my project, head over and check it out -- let me know what you think! This has been a very important year for my photography and this project is the beginning of a new transition - any feedback is much appreciated!
Essential Questions Every Photographer Should Ask His Bride /
In today's day and age with wedding photography brides seem to want Cadillac expectations on a Ford Pinto budget. You can't blame the brides – but you can blame the explosion of amateur photographers who label themselves "professionals" and charge rock bottom prices for shoot/burn wedding pictures. When brides are looking for a prospective wedding photographer an interview is standard. She will want to see your experience, ask questions about your rates, negotiate aspects into the contract, and in the end may just be tire kicking for prices. However, photographers must also know this is the time to be interviewing your bride as a potential client at the same time. The first rule of wedding photography is: Do NOT take every bride as a client. To protect yourself and your photography business, and for the wishes of the bride – you need to ask several questions to make sure yourself as the photographer and the bride (and groom) are a good match.
