text: reidlos90 5pts I agree with Tibbz with the turbo predictions. But being that this engine is a subaru taking note of the torque curve is important. In such a light car a good curve that is flat across the revs at around 150 could bring in decent performance. While the mustangs have come a long way with their live rear axle, i think the Toyobaru here will have them beat even with a track pack. The Mustang has plenty of power but i doubt they could come close to the finesse inherently designed in to this car. That being said, I love mustangs and will probably get one before this.

Thomas R. Fletcher was born and raised in Webster County, West Virginia. He graduated Webster County High School in the summer of 1977 (a year early, because he couldn�t wait to explore the world). In 1982, he launched his career as a freelance photographer�and has been traveling the world since. Thomas has been taking photos as long as he can remember. The first was of the tree-shaded, moss-covered banks of a spring, deep in the mountains�where his grandmother drew her water. He was less than 18 months old. He made a mental snap-shot of that green, peaceful location that he carries with him to this day. That mossy, green place of solitude brought a special feeling of peacefulness to his spirit�a feeling he often...

Masthead Undergoes Redesign
You may notice something looks a little different about our masthead (top navigational area on the homepage) today, and that's because we've done a bit of housecleaning. We've streamlined and simplified the design to focus on the primary experience of YouTube: watching a video. The left side is dedicated to exploration: finding videos to watch through search and browse. The right side is all about organisation of the videos that matter most to you: your subscriptions, your recent viewing history, and your own uploads.
A few features have been removed from this area, to keep it as clean and functional as possible. Unless you have items in your Quicklist or Inbox, they will not appear on the homepage, and the country and language pulldown menus, once at the very top of the page, are now at the bottom.
Next up, we'll be focusing on giving you the controls to make the masthead more personalised.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

I have an issue with my server trying to ssh to another server and causing ssh timeouts in the process.
In /var/log/messages i see:

These show up every 12 seconds or so for 5-20 min. While this is going on, the server is unreachable through ssh.
I thought sar was the issue but after disabling that, it did lower the times this happened, but the problem continues and this is the only thing we can see causing it in the logs.
Can anyone tell me how to find what is causing my machine to try to connect to this IP repeatedly, (i.e. cron job, etc...) and how to stop it.

SAM WOLFE/TREASURE COAST NEWSPAPERS A nurse shark, measure nearly six feet, rests near a rock at Pepper Park Beach in Fort Pierce.

Pete Barrett caught this Tarpon. Well known for their jumping ability, it is many anglers choice to target when fishing the Treasure Coast. This migratory fish arrives in the area in late spring and leaves in the fall as the water temperatures cool down. They feed around the inlets and bays here and along the beaches. The St. Lucie River has a vast number of areas that tarpon will inhabit, including areas like the Sebastian River and Little Mud Creek . Deep canals and channels will also hold tarpon at time. Spillways, canals, bridges and docks are a few places to begin for tarpon.

Noah Bergeron caught this snapper.There are many species of snapper both in the ocean and inshore. Ocean snapper dwell among reefs, wrecks and structure. Some species can grow up to 150 pounds, like the Cubera Snapper. It is common for juvenile species like the Mangrove, Lane and Mutton to live inshore and migrate to the ocean as they grow to adults. Yellowtail Snapper is a favorite around the Treasure Coast, but all are an outstanding table fare and anglers relish catching them. Consult the FWC State Fishing Regulations for all information on sizes, seasons and bag limits for the different snapper available on the Treasure Coast.

"This is her first time fishing," Ed said. "She was so excited, she couldn't sleep last night." The tournament had awards in a variety of categories including largest fish, ugliest fish and most unusual fish. "We like to see the kids and their families come out," said Shannon Murray, president of Murray Insurance Services. "We hope to be able to bring people together to have a good time and learn a bit about fishing." The tournament participants all donated food items to the Treasure Coast Food Bank's Backpack Program for school children.

The Sebastian area will hold larger redfish, especially around the inlet. Fort Pierce has been blessed with a very good population of redfish. There is nothing more exciting than finding a school of reds on the shallow flats. All it takes is to see one "tailing" to get your blood pumping for some great action on light tackle.

The White House released a list of what cuts will be made in Ohio as part of mandatory spending cuts set to kick in March 1, which are widely known as the sequester. Among other changes, 26,000 civilian defense employees would be furloughed, 350 teacher and aide jobs would be put at risk due to $25.1 million in education cuts and $6.9 million for clean air and water enforcement would be taken away. President Barack Obama and Democrats have pushed to replace the sequester with a plan that contains tax changes and budget cuts, but they've failed to reach a compromise with Republicans, who insist on a plan that only includes spending cuts.
Community Council President David White told WVXU that the streets and sidewalks of the long-neglected neighborhood of Pendleton were previously crumbling, but the Horseshoe Casino's development has helped transform the area. With Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds, the city has budgeted $6 million in neighborhood development that has led to new trees, expanded sidewalks and the potential for further developments that will appeal to new businesses.
A surprise inspection of the private prison owned by Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) on Feb. 22 revealed higher levels of violence, inadequate staff, high presence of gang activity, illegal substance use, frequent extortion and theft, according to the report from the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee (CIIC), Ohio's nonpartisan prison watchdog. The CIIC report found enormous increases in violence, with a 187.5-percent increase in inmate-on-inmate violence and 305.9-percent in inmate-on-staff violence between 2010 and 2012. Many of the problems are being brought on by inadequate staff, according to the report. The findings echo much of what privatization critics have been warning about ever since Gov. John Kasich announced his plans to privatize the state prison in 2011, which CityBeat covered in-depth here.
Kasich has highlighted funding increases in the education plan in his 2014-2015 budget proposal, but the plan also includes looser requirements for Ohio's schools. The plan will remove the teacher salary schedule from law, which sets a minimum for automatic teacher pay increases for years of service and educational accomplishments, such as obtaining a master's degree. It would also change the minimum school year from 182 days to 920 hours for elementary students and 1,050 for high school students, giving more flexibility to schools. CityBeat took an in-depth look at the governor's budget and some of its education changes here.
Ohio Democrats want to change how the state picks its watchdog. The governor currently appoints someone to the inspector general position, but Democrats argue a bipartisan panel should be in charge of making the pick.
Mayor Mark Mallory is in Spain to meet with CAF, the company constructing the cars for Cincinnati's streetcar project. Streetcar opponents, including mayoral candidate John Cranley, say the cars are being built too early, but the city says it needs the time to build the cars, test them, burn the tracks and train staff in the cars' use. CityBeat covered the streetcar and how it relates to the 2013 mayoral race here.
The amount of Ohio prisoners returning to prison after being released hit a new low of 28.7 percent in 2009. The numbers, which are calculated over a three-year period, indicate an optimistic trend for the state's recidivism statistics even before Gov. John Kasich's sentencing reform laws were signed into law.
Cincinnati's real estate brokers say the city manager's parking plan will revitalize Downtown's retail scene by using funds from semi-privatizing Cincinnati's parking assets to renovate Tower Place Mall and build a 30-story apartment tower with a parking garage and grocery store.
The University of Cincinnati was the second-best fundraiser in the state in the past year. On Feb. 20, UC announced it had met its $1 billion goal for its Proudly Cincinnati campaign.
On Saturday, Bradley Manning, the American citizen accused of leaking a massive stash of diplomatic cables and military reports to WikiLeaks, went through his 1,000th day in U.S. custody without a trial.
Popular Science has seven ways sitting is going to kill us all.
John Cranley is calling for the city to halt progress on the streetcar after a report from The Cincinnati Enquirer revealed the city's construction bids are $26 million to $43 million over budget. City Manager Milton Dohoney says the city might throw out the bids and start the bidding process again, but no final decision has been made yet. But Cranley argues the city has no leverage over bidders because it already bought the streetcars. In CityBeat's in-depth look at the streetcar, Meg Olberding, city spokesperson, said the cars had to be bought early so they can be built, tested and burned into the tracks while giving staff enough time to get trained — a process that could take as long as two and a half years. The city also cautions that sorting through the bids will take a few more weeks.
The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) landed a $2.5 million grant to purchase seven new buses. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, yesterday announced SORTA had won the competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The new buses will replace old ones that are no longer good for service.The Horseshoe Casino got approval from the state yesterday despite fears of bankruptcy surrounding the casino's parent company. As a precaution, the Ohio Casino Control Commission is requiring Caesar's, the troubled company, to undergo annual financial reviews and notify the commission of any major financial plans, including any intent to file bankruptcy. Caesar's is currently $22 billion in debt.
Ohio legislators have a lot of questions about Gov. John Kasich's new school funding formula. Kasich claims his formula levels the playing field between poor and wealthy schools, but Rep. Ryan Smith, a Republican, pointed out his poor Appalachian district is getting no money under the formula, while the suburban, well-off Olentangy Schools are getting a 300 percent increase. In a previous glimpse at the numbers for Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS), CityBeat found the funding increases aren't enough to make up for past cuts — largely because of the phaseout of tangible personal property reimbursements.
Another report found low-performing schools could be forced to outsource teaching. The new policy has aggravated some local officials.
Kasich's budget will apparently benefit the state's mentally ill and addicted. Mental health advocates said the budget will expand treatment, housing and other services. Most of the benefits will come from the Medicaid expansion.
CPS says it will not lose any funding over the state auditor's attendance scrubbing report. The report, released Tuesday, found CPS had been scrubbing attendance data, but the school district claims errors were not intentional.
Hamilton County Board of Commissioners President Chris Monzel will give the State of the County address later today.

New evidence shows lab testing on mice may not be helpful for humans. Apparently, mice and human genes are too different for treatments to be comparable.
Ohio and Kentucky officials will roll out a plan in September to pay for the Brent Spence Bridge project with tolling
— a decision that could lead to opposition from Northern Kentucky
officials who have long advised against using tolls to finance the $2.5
billion project. The funding choice comes as little surprise,
given the lack of major federal support for the interstate bridge project. But tolling could put the plan in
danger if the Kentucky legislature follows the lead of its Northern
Kentucky delegation. The announcement follows a December agreement between Ohio and Kentucky's governors to get the project done.
Gov. John Kasich will be using a month-long tour to show off the new two-year state budget. The schedule for the tour is still being worked out, but at least one stop in southwest Ohio is expected. The $62 billion budget has many moving parts, but a CityBeat analysis found the plan disproportionately favors the wealthy and limits access to legal abortions and contraceptive care in Ohio.
Cincinnati's Horseshoe Casino posted its worst monthly revenue gains since its grand opening in March. It was an equally poor month for the rest of the state, which saw the worst casino revenue gains since Cincinnati's casino opened. If the trend holds up, that could be a troubling sign for proponents of using casino revenue to balance local and state budgets.
A prominent Ohio Republican and former Kasich cabinet member says he supports overturning the state's ban on same-sex marriage, giving a bipartisan jolt to FreedomOhio's efforts to get the issue on the ballot in 2014. Jim Petro, former attorney general and previous head of the state's higher education board, has a daughter who's gay, which may have influenced his decision. He was joined by Ian James, co-founder of FreedomOhio, when announcing his support. CityBeat covered FreedomOhio's same-sex marriage amendment when it was originally slated for the 2013 ballot here.
Cincinnati Gardens is for sale. Kenko Corporation, which has owned the garden for 35 years, announced its plans yesterday. "Our hope would be to sell, and see the historic venue move forward in its current state: a sports and entertainment venue," explained Pete Robinson, president of the Cincinnati Gardens, in a statement. "However, we are prepared to explore other opportunities."
At least two county commissioners are expected to approve the Cincinnati Zoo's levy request, which could put the flat renewal of the five-year levy on the ballot this November.
In other zoo news, here is Gladys the gorilla with her family.
As City Council winds down its sessions, Councilman Chris Seelbach will keep busy and help other city employees pick up garbage and clean sewers. Seelbach will be tweeting about his experiences in a different kind of public service here.
Kroger led Cincinnati stocks to a big start in July — a good sign for an ailing national economy that has struggled to get back on its feet. The Cincinnati-based grocer also announced on Tuesday that it will buy rival Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc. in a $2.4 billion deal.
Here are some pictures of carnivorous plants in action.
Despite challenges to its constitutionality, JobsOhio is moving forward with a bond sale. The agency, which is meant to create jobs, is holding a bond sale Jan. 23 to raise money for economic development. But ProgressOhio, which is suing Gov. John Kasich's administration over JobsOhio, says the governor should halt the sale until legal issues are resolved: "There are serious legal questions about the funding of JobsOhio. Gov. Kasich's own commerce director said his duty to uphold the Ohio Constitution was stopping him from moving JobsOhio forward until these questions were resolved."
Ohio will give schools $37.9 million in casino profits. When casinos were approved by voters, one of the caveats was that some of the tax revenue raised would go into improving the state's education system. Cincinnati will get its own casino in March 2013.
To avoid rules regarding how to properly seal a case, charges have been dropped in the rape flier case.
That's despite the fact the student who allegedly posted the "Top Ten
Ways to Get Away with Rape" previously pleaded guilty. Judge Robert Lyons,
who was presiding over the case, was previously criticized by The Enquirer
for not following proper procedure, but dropping the charges and
letting the student withdraw his guilty plea may put the judge in the
legal clear. Lyons says he regularly seals cases for students.
The old building for the School for the Creative and Performing Arts will be converted into 170 apartments.
Northern Kentucky University could soon ban smoking on campus. Several other schools in Kentucky are already tobacco-free. The Ohio Board of Regents encouraged Ohio campuses to ban smoking on July 23.
Applications for Gov. Kasich's worker training vouchers are going fast. The program is meant to improve Ohio's business climate. It reimburses businesses for eligible employee training expenses in an effort to make Ohio companies more competitive and improve workers' skills.
A portrait of Jesus will remain in an Ohio school after 300 people showed up in support at a school board meeting. An atheist group is already planning on suing the school over the portrait. In a letter, Freedom from Religion Foundation claims that "if a district were to promote a religion over non-religion, it would impermissibly turn any non-believing student, parent, or staff member into an outsider."
With former governor Ted Strickland dropping out of the governor's race, The Washington Post posted an early look at whether Gov. Kasich can survive re-election. At this point, Kasich's most likely opponent is Ed FitzGerald, former mayor of Lakewood and Cuyahoga County's executive.
Apparently, Australia is so hot meteorologists had to add two new colors to heat maps to properly show the country's temperature. Americans can probably relate, considering 2012 was the hottest year ever recorded for the United States.
The cure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria may be panda blood. Will pandas abuse their newfound powers to take over the world?
New casino revenue numbers are well below 2009 estimates. State officials previously estimated Ohio's casinos would bring in $1.9 billion a year once they were built and functional, but the latest state budget cuts that prediction by half. The new estimates are due to competition with racinos and lower-than-expected performance at casinos that are already up and running.
Gov. John Kasich announced his 2014-2015 budget, unveiling a few pleasant and unpleasant surprises for progressives. As part of the budget, Ohio is going ahead with expanding Medicaid to meet Obamacare's financial incentives, despite Kasich's past criticism of the national health care program. But the budget also directs higher revenues to cutting taxes, instead of making up for past spending cuts enacted by Kasich.
A Miami University fraternity's $10 million lawsuit has been dismissed. The lawsuit accused the university of "malice, hatred and ill will" for the suspension of Phi Kappa Tau after it had a fireworks battle with another fraternity. The battle led to police discovering marijuana inside the fraternity.
Looks like Ohioans are returning to school. Some universities, including Miami, have seen a spike in the number of applications recently, despite Ohio having fewer high school graduates in the past few years. The spike is likely due to out-of-state recruiting.
City Council will vote tomorrow on whether to provide tax breaks for neighborhood projects in Walnut Hills and Linwood. The projects are focused on buildings that are apparently uninhabitable, according to the developer.
PNC Bank is set to announce a "major gift" to Smale Riverfront Park. The gift would continue a stream of private contributions to the park. Last year, Procter & Gamble donated $1 million to fund the P&G Vibrant Playscape.
Cincinnati's tree fee will not change this year. The tree fee is paid by homeowners so the city can take care of trees in public rights of way.
Cincinnati was awarded the Audrey Nelson Community Development Achievement Award from the National Community Development Association for contributing to the renovations of the Villages at Roll Hill.
An unhappy defendant punched his own lawyer in court.
The 3-D print revolution has taken an unexpected turn: Scientists can now print human embryonic cells. The researchers hope to use the cells as ink for printed organs and tissues.

This weekend I fell in love with San Francisco again. On Sunday I rode my bike from the sunny Mission District into the fog of the Inner Sunset for the San Francisco Zinefest. I joined a small crowd of independent press connoisseurs for the second day of an all weekend event that included workshops and panel discussions on all things related to zine-making and doing-it-yourself: how to screen-print, bind books, and how to gouache paint. I meandered slowly through the tables, skimming zines and roaming back to the certain delicately crafted booklets that caught my attention—that I had to flip through at least six times before I made the decision to buy them. Among the booths were the local favorites in radical small press publishing, AK Press, Slingslot Collective, and independent press shops such as 1984 Printing, as well as lots of independent artists and writers with tables full of one of a kind or limited edition zines, pamphlets, crafts, t-shirts, buttons and on and on.

New England Clam Chowder in the Slow Cooker

I love Drop Dead Diva! And I even got my husband watching it with me last season. What?! Do you have any idea how many football and basketball games I have sat through?

I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the recipe. I may use more potatoes because I like a thicker chowda :)

Lol - I think you may have tapped into the hidden fan base for Drop Dead Diva on Netflix. I found it on there too and stayed up til 2am the other night so I could finish season one. I have cried at some episodes too :) I blame it on just having delivered a baby and sleep deprivation.
I love clam chowder too. Basically this is my favorite post you've ever written (and I've been following you for over a year :)

- Alice said...
THIS IS REALLY, REALLY GOOD! It is mid-March and feels like summer with 85 degree weather and this recipe came to my email. I decided to make it because I had an over-abundance of potatoes. It was GOBBLED down so fast by even my pickiest eater.
Make this! It is so goood!
- March 23, 2012 at 6:02 AM
what I wouldn't give to live 15 minutes from the ocean!!!!
- March 24, 2012 at 6:18 PM
Hmmm, maybe I did something wrong. My chowder was too runny and the thyme was way too overpowering. I might try it again, but would not use thyme.

i have to say this is very amazing .
- March 28, 2012 at 8:43 PM
- michelle said...
I made this last weekend. It was good, but seemed more like a "baked potato soup" than new England clam chowder. Disclaimer, I live in rhode island where we have the best chowder, so my standards are quite high. It was still quite good though.
- April 1, 2012 at 7:45 PM
- Jaime said...
Oh, I live in RI too! Sorry, I was excited to see that. Yes, our standards are high here, and typically we eat alot of manhattan or clear chowder also (which I think always taste "clamier". This was good tho, better the second day. But I give it high points for how easy it was!
- April 2, 2012 at 12:23 PM
- bicky said...
Oh wow, this is good. I just made it last night and enjoyed a bowl for breakfast. (My boyfriend is raving about it right now too!)
Just a few notes:
1.) I left out the salt completely and added half of the clam juice instead of draining the clams. It was a gamble, but I wanted a more intense clam flavor.
2.) 1/2 lb of bacon is a lot of bacon! I used turkey bacon, and I don't think it overpowered the clam flavor of the soup at all. You could still taste the clams, and the bacon was just a nice addition. Not that there's anything wrong with bacon soup... Mmm...
3.) I used Russet potatoes because those 5-lb bags are near impossible to get through.
4.) I used 1 cup of half-n-half + 1 cup lowfat milk to save on some calories. The substitution ends up saving you only about 35 calories per serving and maybe isn't worth worrying about.
I will DEFINITELY be making this again! Next time I might use an entire can's worth of clam juice and add another drained can of clams.
- April 5, 2012 at 6:20 AM
- Frugal Student said...
Mine was runny as well. Any advice?
- April 16, 2012 at 11:13 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
@frugal student, are you blending some of the potatoes with a hand-held stick blender? I prefer to do that to naturally thicken the broth, but you can also stir in a cornstarch slurry if you want it to have a thicker texture and aren't wanting to blend a bit.
1T cornstarch mixed with 2T cold water--blend to make a paste, then whisk in.
I hope this helps a bit!
- April 16, 2012 at 12:08 PM
I have always added the clams at the end of the cooking process. They tend to get tough and rubbery if cooked too long. Any comments?
- April 28, 2012 at 6:16 AM

Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

The network of buses, trams, metro and trains covers the whole city from 5:30am to midnight, and night buses take over until about 5am, covering the main routes. The metro only has two lines, but is the easiest and fastest way to get around. The bus service is cheap and reliable, albeit slow due to traffic congestion. Tickets cover all forms of transport and must be pre-purchased and validated at the start of every journey; there are daily tickets valid for unlimited rides, or standard tickets valid for one metro ride or 100 minutes on buses. Taxis are notoriously expensive and display a list of surcharges. The historic centre of Rome is compact and manageable on foot, and most of it is closed to normal traffic. Driving in Rome is an experience to be avoided.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

Rome enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and hot, dry summers. January is the coldest month in Rome, and July and August the warmest. The weather in Rome during summer (June to August) can be uncomfortably hot, with temperatures often exceeding 95°F (35°C) at midday, and locals tend to close up their businesses during August. Winter (December to February) is mild, with the average temperature in December hovering around 55°F (13°C). Heavy snowfall is rare but almost every winter there are light snow flurries in the city. Rain showers are possible any time of year but the drizzle is seldom very disruptive to visitors. The best time to travel to Rome is in the springtime, between March and May, when skies are blue and the weather warm. Autumn is also considered peak tourist season, as the months of September and October are very pleasant.
The train station is across the road from Terminal 3, near car park D. There are two trains to the city. The Leonardo Express travels directly to Roma Termini, the station in the city centre, every half hour from 6:30am to 11:30pm, for €14. Buy a ticket at the ticketing counter in the station and then validate it at one of the machines (the ticket will then be valid for an hour and a half). A cheaper option is the slightly slower Metro line FR1, which runs to major stations (Tiburtina, Tuscolana, Ostiense and Trastevere) every 15 minutes, or every half hour on Sundays and holidays, and costs €8. Cotral buses leave from Roma Tiburtina railway station and stop at Piazza dei Cinquecento in front of the national museum. A one-way ticket to town will cost €4.50 if you buy it from the ticket machine in the arrivals section or at newsagents or tobacconists in the airport, and €7 if you buy it on the bus.
The car rental desks are in the multi-storey car park lots C and B, directly in front of the terminal and connected via passenger walkways. Simply follow the signs from the arrivals area. There are several major companies represented, including Hertz, Avis, Sixt and Budget, as well as a few local operators.
Authorised taxis can usually be found in the arrivals areas.
A free shuttle bus operates between the terminals and car parks every 15 minutes.
Airport facilities include ATMs and currency exchange, baggage wrapping, information desks, travel agents, pharmacies, massage parlours, a photo booth, a beauty parlour, a hairdresser, a solarium, as well as slot machines and laundry facilities. The ATA Hotel Executive Centre in Area B has business facilities, and there are myriad shopping and dining options.
Parking starts from about €3 for the one-hour spaces in front of the terminal, to a variety of options within the garages and long-term lots. All parking options are connected to the terminals via walkways or shuttle buses.
Free wifi is available and internet kiosks are also provided.

TEL Usage Study new!
TEL Usage Study
TEL currently collects a number of usage statistics measuring libraries' use of electronic resources provided through the consortium. Interns interested in online resource selection and usage have the opportunity to work with TEL to develop a means of measuring Return on Investment of e-resources based on user population. Interns would have the opportunity to study the fair market value of materials made available through online databases, and offer solutions for calculating return on investment and value measurements that could then be used in the collection development and selection process. The result of this project may be a paper detailing ways that other consortia are calculating these measures, as well as interns' suggestions or methods for calculating value of electronic resources in Tennessee libraries. Interns may also be able to offer recommendations about which resources are the most needed by Tennesseans.
TEL Marketing project new!
TEL Marketing project
TEL can be described as the best-kept secret in the state. Interns would have the opportunity to draft a marketing plan for TEL, including key contacts and ways to spread the word about the electronic library's services on a small budget. This project may take the form of a research paper in which the student attempts to identify factors and trends, or a detailed plan of action for TEL. Interns involved in this project would have the chance to define the project in a way that meets their research interests.
TEL Training Materials Development new!
TEL Training Materials DevelopmentCurrent TEL services and content are provided to all Tennesseans. Interns have the opportunity to develop and integrate training materials on a variety of TEL databases, both from the user and the trainer perspectives. Interns would identify topics, write scripts, and use provided tools to create training tools that could include webinars, online tutorials, presentations, or handouts.
Time Commitment:
• 150+ hours, flexible timing available
TEL Best Practices new!
TEL Best Practices
TEL is interested in gathering data and information to help its libraries promote the use of TEL online resources to their patrons. An intern could study this data and create recommendations for improving online resource usage at member libraries. This project may take the form of a research project in which the intern attempts to identify factors and trends that make libraries successful users of online resources, or a case study analyzing a small handful of libraries that have particularly high usage of online resources. Interns involved in this project would have the opportunity to define the project in a way that meets their research interests, and may choose to focus on one or multiple types of libraries.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Utah, like other states across the nation, is struggling with its budget to make ends meet. And, as in other states, funding for mental health and substance abuse programs may have to take another hit.
While Arizona's cuts in mental health services have gotten attention lately in the wake of the tragic shooting spree in Phoenix, Utah has also balanced its budget in part with reductions. "Since 2009, Utah has cut $5.3 million (21 percent) in mental health services like counseling, case management, hospitalizations and medication coverage," stated Jan Bodily, executive director of Four Corners Behavioral Health.
She went on to explain that those reductions have a greater impact than that. It takes 30 cents in state and county contributions to get a dollar in matching federal Medicaid funds. When state funding decreases, the federal funds go down by a multiple.
What this has meant for Carbon, Emery and Grand counties is a reduction of services. "With mental health services, we've had to space out services, or have more counseling in groups instead of in individual counseling," Bodily said. Substance abuse issues, while in a different category of care, are in basically the same boat.
The numbers tell the story. In 2009, Four Corners served 975 clients in mental health. Last year the agency was able to handle only 887. Substance abuse case load increased slightly, from 434 in 2009 to 449 in 2010.
The need in the community has not gone away with the past and proposed cuts. Carbon County has a high proportion of Medicaid-eligible people, and a bigger proportion than elsewhere of eligible people seeking services. "The needs have increased and we struggle to meet those needs," she said. With the prospect of further funding cuts looming, Bodily said she and fellow mental health care professionals are worried about the quality and quantity of services that will be available..
"Our first concern is for the individuals who could be affected," she continued, "But what will happen to the community? There will be a social cost."
To explain what's meant by social cost, she cited a comment from John Rouse, a psychiatrist at San Francisco General Hospital, who told the San Francisco Examiner that "it means more people in jail, it means more people pushing shopping carts down Market Street, it means more wasted resources because it makes it hard to intervene early and cheaply."
The state's drug court system, which Bodily called "precarious," is a case in point for cost effectiveness. In this system, people accused of substance abuse can plead "guilty in abeyance" and avoid spending time behind bars. They must complete a counseling program and stay clean for a set period. If they succeed, they go free. If they fail, they go to jail.
Jail and prison time isn't cheap. A check of the dollar cost of imprisonment in the state's budget shows that for Fiscal Year 2011, the state appropriated more than $261 million for the Department of Corrections. With about 6,600 inmates statewide, that averages out to more than $39,000 for each prisoner.

The Netgear Powerline 1200 kit is the affordable answer to those needing a reliable, fast and convenient solution to extend their wired home network.
Netgear's Arlo is your answer to un-tethered indoor and outdoor DIY home security -- just make sure you have spare batteries handy.
The Zing is a robust and capable mobile cellular router, but make sure you're happy with Sprint's 4G LTE coverage first before getting it.
Netgear announces its latest Wi-Fi router, the Nighthawk X8 R8500 that has a total bandwidth of up to 5300Mbps and six Gigabit LAN ports. The router is slated to cost $400.
The lack of Gigabit Ethernet in many ways cancels out the Netgear R6100's support for the fast 802.11ac standard and makes it just an average Wi-Fi router.
The Netgear X6100's awkward design and frustrating performance make it suitable only for casual networking tasks.
Despite its powerful hardware, the R7500 doesn't have the performance and features to justify its premium price tag.
The Netgear Neo TV NTV300 is one of the cheapest streaming boxes on the market, but it doesn't offer any compelling distinguishing features compared with the Roku.
Even when it's working well, the Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has nothing to justify its expensive price tag.

|Boone Break-in Suspect Sought, One Arrested
Boone Police, backed up by deputies of the Watauga Sheriff's Office, responded to what Boone Police are calling a violent home invasion in progress last night at an apartment on Coffey Street near downtown Boone—and one arrest of an ASU student is reported. The 9-1-1 caller
reported that residents—the intended victims—managed to detain one of the suspects, and that a second—a black male— had fled toward Howard and Hardin Streets. Boone Police say the residents had been attacked in their home by two masked men armed with a club and a hammer, demanding money and drugs. The residents were joined by neighbors in fighting off both intruders and subduing one of the attackers until police arrived. Deputies arrived with a search dog, and an attempt was made to follow the trail of the suspect. ASU officers were called to assist in setting up a search perimeter, but even in the short time frame between the crime and the search, that area grew large, and encompassed both areas of campus and into downtown. The second suspect escaped and remains at large. Police say one resident of the apartment transported himself to Watauga Medical Center with minor injuries. The detained suspect was identified as Travis Dean Edgerton, age 20 and an ASU student from Chapel Hill. Edgerton was charged with felony burglary, felony attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and assault with a deadly weapon. He was taken before a Watauga County magistrate, and then held in the Watauga County Detention Center under a $100,000 bond with a December 18, 2012 court date. Boone Police are continuing the investigation and are working to identify the second suspect.

Why I Love Prison: It's My Turn to Talk. ~ Robert Sturman Photography
Up until this moment, I have simply let the work speak for itself and the projections of others paint the meanings behind it.
That is often the case with Art. The following are a few of my thoughts I have collected in my experience as a visiting Artist navigating the growing yoga programs in various United States Penitentiaries.
I loved the warden. We spoke for some time during my first visit and the most profound thing that could have been said, she said. "I have noticed that the guys who are doing the yoga are making much better choices."
One of the things that left a deep impression on me is the kindness and appreciation I experienced from the prisoners. Something about that kindness broke my heart. Something about a human being with so little dignity left, who was willing to be photographed and sign model release forms — not even questioning my integrity or what I was going to do with pictures of them doing yoga in the penitentiary. Yes, something about that broke my heart.
And to those of us who think prisoners do not deserve yoga. Here I speak to you:
I have a regular yoga practice and one thing I know to be true is that yoga opens me. Through asana, I have become more aware of my own actions and how my footsteps in this world leave prints. I have faced everything on my mat. I had no choice. I think that yoga just does that. The greatest chance for change is when a human being sees the consequences of their own actions. We can torture, punish, sentence, and tell a human being a thousand times that they are guilty – treat them like they are worthless. That never changed me as a kid or as an adult. What changed me was when I felt the sobering guilt within and faced the pain that I caused others. That made me change. Yoga has a way of bringing us into our heart. You want to punish a human being? Lead them to their own conscience. These men who have taken the courageous step to come to this thing called yoga, which is not necessarily viewed as the most masculine recreational activity in the prison system, have something inside of them that longs to crumble.
My Camera is a Voice for that Man.
A mistake many of us make when we think of a prisoner, especially one who is serving a life sentence, is that they have all been convicted of a crime of violence. Many people are unaware of the 3 strike law. Some of the men serving life sentences had already served their time and then, for example, got arrested for other nonviolent crimes (perhaps possession of drugs) – 3 strikes and your out of society for LIFE. They are just sitting in there trying not to rot away, and looking forward to the hour and a half yoga class they are permitted to attend once a week.

Robert, Thank you for sharing how this experience effects you. Your observation that "These are men who have made the conscious choice to live inside of themselves. Most prisoners do not make that choice, and most people who are "free" do not make that choice either", is so deeply profound. In the "free" world, the illusion of what we consider to be freedom is contained in choices that appear to exist outside of ourselves. The choice of a home, a job, a partner. But the truth is that the whole of the universe exists only within our own individual experiences. There is no real "outside" of ourselves. It's a cruel irony for prisoners and what you shared of their lives and why you work with them is really, truly and deeply contemplative. Thank you for being open to that experience. I would think it takes a lot of compassion, but also a lot of courage.
Love your photography and was totally inspired by your story. Thank you for sharing — VERY powerful! Blessed Love, Nadine!
Nadine, thanks so much for taking the time to read it and write. Deep gratitude.
Wow i am truly humbled at the power of self realization. I practice yoga but did not truly understand it's communal/community impact. My sister was instrumental in getting me to that point of understanding, but this article truly clarified everything i love about yoga and more.
Wow. That's nice to hear, Kim. Thank you for taking the time to write.
Robert, this is so, so touching and inspiring. The depth of your compassion and insight is amazing. Your words and images have pierced my heart. Many pranams to you!
This is an all-star cast of deep thinkers below and above me here commenting on this article. Thank you guys so much. Such an honor to be in the creative flow with you.
Wow. Your work is amazing, Robert. You might be interested in a different kind of prison art: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2011/08/cartoons-f… I wish more in prison had the opportunity to participate in yoga. Cheers!
I love what you do and what you share.

Likewise, Tanya. Your work has inspired me.
breathtakingly succinct, direct and poignant. yes.
Thanks brother – much appreciated.
Robert, powerful, important, and deeply moving observations. Thank you for sharing the insights behind your process.
Thank you, Shyam — It's an honor to be in your company. Your present article is on my screen and I'm looking forward to it. Your Osho video is brilliant.
Namaste, Robert, your work is a gift. When Yoga enters prisons and homes for at-risk youth the outcome is that lives—destinies—may change profoundly. One lifer who participated in a meditation project at his facility wrote that everyone should have days as happy and peaceful as his. Thank you for showing us through your lens of your camera and your heart this raw and powerful face of Truth. Peace.
Thank you so much, Valerie. That is so true that they change. I am returning to a Northern California prison tomorrow to do some work and I just got off the phone with the teacher there. I asked him if a certain prisoner was there. I knew he had been released a few months ago – but, I asked because he was a cool guy and a great subject and sometimes they return. For a split second, I was bummed he would not be there. And then I thought about it and realized that the only way he would be there is if he was back in prison – so I was relieved. This particular inmate is in the first and last picture of this article. When we were finished working together he told me that he really loved being a 'yoga model.' That made me smile – and it made him smile more when I returned 2 months later with a copy of Yoga Journal and there was a full page image of him in Sukhasana. Anyways, thank you for reaching out. Deeply appreciated.
Robert – what a rich and full of grace posting. I am grateful and humbled looking at your work. For me, it has touched the very root of what the practice of yoga brings. Blessings, Jim
Thanks so much, Jim. I've been enjoying your work more and more recently – It's an honor to be presenting work alongside of your vision.
[…] Why I Love Prison: It's My Turn to Talk. ~ Robert Sturman Photography […]
[…] I found Robert's photos to be striking, and even more so, I thought it was very interesting that Robert chose to go into San Quentin – arguably one of the "ugliest" places that one could imagine – to look for beauty. What's even more impressive? He found it. That's what happens when you have a keen photographer's eye like Robert does. The powerful images of mixed-media artist Robert Sturman have a vivid presence that is both other-worldly and deeply rooted in the earthly wonders he has explored so adventurously in his global travels. A spiritual journeyer as well, Sturman is an intuitive creator whose works resonate with an inner vision as much as they reach out to embrace the viewer with tactile, richly hued physicality. […]
[…] ~~ Previous article by Robert Sturman: Why I Love Prison: It's My Turn to Talk […]
Robert, this post gave me chills. So powerful. As a yogini, I feel the same way that you do about prison yoga projects. I feel so much compassion for the people in prisons, knowing that it was their own incompleteness and unresolved pain that brought them to that place to begin with. I believe in the power of the human consciousness to awaken for any human being, including prisoners. I hope that the yoga can continue to bring them peace on their difficult journeys.
I love that there is yoga in prison! It should be a must always. I believe yoga makes us all better people, and I also believe it helps us appreciate life no matter what our circumstances. It has the power to change the world for the better one person at a time. Thank you for sharing
Every word of this, Robert. Every word, thank you. And your photos of these make me cry every time. I tell and write many stories about serving time in prison. But the hardest for me to get out. The one that gets stuck in my throat and my keyboard every time is the one about teaching yoga while I was there. I want so badly to do it, to do the inmates who practiced with me, justice, to do justice to the experience of practicing yoga while in prison. It's an infinity sized topic.
And I just realized I used the word justice. Twice. Grin.
Thank you for your beautiful images. Thank you for bringing this unusual and unexpected beauty to light. This is compassion. This is yoga.
Amazing insights and great work
Imagine if all prisons offered Yoga! And even more importantly if all "kids in danger" had access to Yoga and were saved from careers of crime etc in the first place. Very touching and inspiring work by you and all the participants of the Yoga programs!
[…] […]
We are all human beings that can be effected by whats brought to our lives. Bless you for working with those who may have never got the opportunity to feel self control and peace inside. Your their light!!
[…] […]
I always enjoy reading what you're doing. You are an example of non-judgmental compassion which gives me hope that the true potential of yoga will reach the ones who need it the most. I have always felt that Yoga in prisons would be transformational for society and I deeply admire those whose role it is to be able to teach it there. Much more difficult than teaching it to affluent people on a beautiful island! Thank you for sharing yourself with the prisoners and with us. Namastè.
[…] […]
is this the place, where katchie is teaching?
Thank you. For bringing a human touch.
Thank you. The prison and judicial systems are so broken. It is touching to see these photos, these individuals who are choosing to be alive and work on themselves even within the most difficult of places.
insightful and inspiring to hear your thoughts robert. thank you
[…] Read Sturman's quintessential article regarding his work within the prison system. […]
Robert, your words are as beautiful and though provoking as your photographs. Thank you for sharing both.
These pictures are inspiring Robert. Their bodies may be imprisoned but their minds can become free through the practice of yoga. There are so many of us who percieve ourselves as being free but are living within a prison in our minds. For everyone who has the courage to break free I admire you. I hope these men continue to get support that enables them to set therir minds free.
I lost $2664 from these people I was told they will help me to modify my loan with my hard earned money is gone and am on dissability shame them I wish somebody find these crooks we are facing battles on my house right now because of the scammers
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I noticed it really changed the mood I was in from when I started reading to when I was done. I don't feel the 3 strike law is a very effective measure for JUSTICE which is what prison is all about. It doesn't even give the inmates a chance to show if they have made a change. Well anyways. Keep doing what you do. I'm sure those inmates getting photographed was one of the best times they've had during their stays.
With much respect
This is so wonderfull – Your photos and joga for people in prisons. Great that people there can practise joga and feel what it can give them. Im joga instructor and i think maby i can do that in Poland :)))) Than You for inspiration :))))
I think what you just said equals compassion Thanks for helping them be seen. It's had an effect on me.
