Sixteen-year-old Keith Maxey was in an abandoned house on Detroit's east side about 2 p.m. Dec. 24, 2007, when his friends, both in their 20s, tried to rob four young men who went there to sell them a pound of marijuana.
Brian McClendon Jr., 20, of Detroit, who was with the sellers, was shot to death, and a companion was seriously wounded. Maxey, who was unarmed, also was shot repeatedly in the chaos, and later said he had no idea his friends were planning a robbery. But he's now in prison for life with no chance of parole.
Raymond Carp was 15 when his half brother, Brandon Gorecki, 22, beat and stabbed 43-year-old Maryann McNeely to death in her mobile home in St. Clair County's Casco Township on May 31, 2006.
Gorecki testified at Carp's first-degree murder trial that he, not Carp, killed McNeely. But a friend testified that Carp made incriminating statements about handing Gorecki the knife and holding McNeely down. Carp is now serving life without parole.
Now Maxey and Carp, along with 356 other juvenile lifers in Michigan, could get a shot at eventual freedom because of a June decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that struck down automatic mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole for juveniles convicted of murder. The high court, in a 5-4 decision, said such juvenile life sentences violate the Constitution's Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Capsules of key juvenile cases
Maxey may be among the first in Michigan to benefit from the ruling. U.S. District Judge John O'Meara is expected to rule any day on the state's motion to dismiss an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit challenging his sentence and the life terms handed to other juvenile killers.
Defense and appellate attorneys and the ACLU of Michigan say Maxey and Carp are among the types of defendants who don't deserve to die in prison: juveniles only peripherally involved in homicides; under the influence of peers or adults; ill-served by their lawyers, or unaware of their own best interest in pleading guilty to lesser charges with shorter sentences.
"I get that they did bad things," said Detroit criminal defense attorney Gabi Silver, who initially represented Maxey. "But they're children. These kids have absolutely no real appreciation of what the outcome will be when they refuse to take a plea to a lesser charge. They can't see beyond age 20.... And a kid who goes into prison at 17 is a far different person 20 years later."
The Supreme Court ruling will require judges to consider the background of juveniles, the circumstances of their crimes and the extent of their involvement before imposing a sentence. After considering those factors, judges could still sentence juveniles to life in prison -- and perhaps mandatory life in prison without parole, prosecutors say -- but the sentences no longer would be automatic.
The decision has sparked a debate in Michigan and across the nation as to whether the ruling applies to future offenders or those already in prison and whose appeals already have been exhausted.
With 358 juvenile lifers, Michigan ranks second in the country behind Pennsylvania, which has 475 juvenile lifers, according to the ACLU of Michigan and Second Chances 4 Youth, a juvenile lifer advocacy group. Nationally, Michigan accounts for nearly 14% of the more than 2,600 prisoners serving life sentences without parole for crimes committed when they were juveniles.
Officials in Michigan are among those in two dozen states trying to figure out how to comply with the high court's decision. The U.S. is the only country in the world that sentences juveniles to life in prison without the possibility for parole.
A retroactive ruling?
The Michigan battle is being waged on three fronts: In U.S. District Court in Ann Arbor, where the ACLU sued on behalf of Maxey and other juvenile lifers; before the Michigan Court of Appeals, which is reviewing Carp's case, and in the Legislature, which will try to amend state law to comply with the Supreme Court's decision.
It's unclear which forum will sort out the issue first. The question of how to apply the law -- retroactively or only to future cases -- could be decided by the ruling of a judge or an act of the Legislature.
The Court of Appeals has asked prosecutors, criminal defense lawyers and other interested groups to file briefs in its case. It will hear arguments Tuesday in Lansing and try to craft a solution. A decision could take months.
State legislators said they planned to introduce bills to comply with the high court's decision after failed efforts in 2008 and 2009 to abolish juvenile lifer sentences.
If the Supreme Court's ruling applies to those already in prison, officials must then decide whether they should be re-sentenced or considered for eventual release by the Michigan Parole Board.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and county prosecutors want the ruling to apply only to new offenders and juvenile lifers who haven't finished their appeals. Applying the decision retroactively, they contend, would inflict more pain and suffering on the families of murder victims.
"Hauling hundreds of crime victims and their families back into court to relive these horrific murders would be a terrible tragedy," Schuette said in late July, when he tried to intervene in a juvenile lifer appeal before the Michigan Supreme Court in an unsuccessful bid to get a quick decision on retroactivity.
The ACLU of Michigan has been trying to abolish mandatory life sentences for juveniles since 2003. It wants current lifers to be given a chance for parole.
It says Michigan treats juveniles as children in nearly all other respects: They are prohibited from consuming alcohol, voting, serving on juries, joining the military or marrying without parental consent, or driving without training.
The ACLU says research shows that children don't have fully developed brains, are more inclined than adults to act impulsively and are more susceptible to pressure from peers and adults, especially when evaluating offers to plead guilty to lesser charges with shorter sentences.
Those who aid and abet a homicide in Michigan are treated just as harshly as the person who actually kills.
"There are kids in (prison) who have matured and don't belong there," said Ann Arbor attorney Deborah LaBelle, the ACLU's point person in the battle over the juvenile lifer law. "We recognize that in every other context, kids are different than adults, yet we don't treat them that way under Michigan's juvenile lifer laws."
No quick decision
The U.S. Supreme Court recognized a difference between juveniles and adults in its June 25 decision in a case known as Miller v. Alabama.
"Mandatory life without parole for a juvenile precludes consideration of his chronological age and its hallmark features -- among them, immaturity, impetuosity and failure to appreciate risks and consequences," Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the majority opinion.
The decision followed two earlier Supreme Court rulings favorable to juveniles.
In 2005, it threw out the death penalty for juveniles. In 2010, it eliminated life without the possibility of parole for juveniles in crimes that didn't result in death.
A month after the June ruling, Schuette and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy tried to intervene in a juvenile lifer appeal before the Michigan Supreme Court in hopes of getting a quick ruling on the retroactivity issue. The state Supreme Court refused to consider the issue and sent the case back to Wayne County Circuit Court to be handled in light of the Alabama decision.
Schuette then took aim at the Michigan Court of Appeals case involving Carp.
Like Maxey, Carp had passed up a chance to plead guilty to second-degree murder in exchange for a lighter sentence -- 15 years in prison.
Carp appealed his first-degree murder conviction and mandatory life sentence, but got nowhere until the U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The decision prompted his appellate lawyer, Patricia Selby of Grosse Ile, to ask the Michigan Court of Appeals to reconsider, and it agreed to do so.
Selby wants Carp to be re-sentenced so a judge can consider mitigating factors and Carp can be sentenced to less than life. If the appeals court refuses, Selby wants Carp's first-degree murder conviction vacated so he can plead guilty to second-degree murder and get the 15-year sentence prosecutors originally offered.
McNeely's daughter said Carp and other juvenile lifers like him don't deserve a second chance.
"Raymond Carp is a murderer," said Erica Woodrow of Wayne County. "He had ample opportunity that night to help my mom. She begged and pleaded over and over for her life.
"He's only remorseful because he's sitting in prison," she added. "I absolutely cannot believe that anyone in this world would even think that Raymond Carp or anyone who committed a crime like him would deserve a second chance."
Staff Writer Kathleen Gray contributed to this report.
More Details: State's juvenile lifer law by the numbers
Michigan is one of only seven states that mandate children as young as 14 be charged, tried and sentenced as adults for homicide and, if convicted, sentenced to life without any possibility of parole. The other states are Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania.
About 38% of juveniles serving mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole in Michigan had no prior criminal record.
Children of color account for 74% of Michigans juvenile lifers, but only 29% of the states youthful population.
Michigan accounts for 3% of the nations youthful population, but nearly 14% of juveniles sentenced nationwide to mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Some 38% of Michigans juvenile lifers were represented by lawyers who have been disciplined for ethical problems.
The cost of incarcerating one juvenile prisoner from 1998-2010: $323,995.
More Details: Judges left out
Michigan began cracking down on juveniles in murder cases in the late 1980s.
Before then, prosecutors had to get juvenile judges permission to try children as adults. The judges would evaluate the juvenile, the crime, the suspects role and other factors before deciding whether to lock them in a juvenile facility until age 19 or waive them to circuit court for trial as adults.
In 1988, the Legislature allowed prosecutors to go directly to circuit court to charge 15- and 16-year-olds with murder and other serious crimes. In 1996, it extended the automatic waiver to 14-year-olds.
The changes took juvenile judges out of the equation, and the mandatory penalty for first-degree murder stripped circuit judges of any sentencing discretion.

Without Social Security entitlement reform, future generations will bear an untenable burden limiting their, and the country's, potential.
At the time of the act's creation in 1935, the Committee on Economic Security proposed using age 65 as the retirement age because it "produced a manageable system that could easily be self-sustained with only modest levels of payroll taxation."
It is obvious they did not foresee the post-World War II baby boom and its massive demographic changes impacting their assumptions beyond their calculus.
When monthly payments began in 1940, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 62.9 years (National Center for Health Statistics). In 1940, just 54 percent of men were expected to survive from age 21 to 65 (Social Security Administration) and just 9 million Americans, 6.8 percent of the population, were over age 65.
Today life expectancy exceeds 78 years; over 72 percent of men are expected to survive from age 21 to 65; and more than 34 million Americans, 13 percent of the population, are 65 or older. Despite these dramatic improvements in U.S. mortality and life expectancy rates, the Social Security retirement age remains as in 1940.
With the Social Security "trust" fund's bankruptcy forecast by 2033, Washington must do something sooner rather than later to save it. Raising the retirement age and applying means testing seem reasonable, simple solutions that can meaningfully reduce future demands on the system and the taxpayers that support it and ensure its survival for all future beneficiaries.
Political courage, leadership and honesty are required.

Le'Veon Bell, RB: College football's third leading rusher in yards per game is undoubtedly the force behind Michigan State's offensive attack. His mark of 137.3 rushing yards per game also leads the Big 10. He already has three 200-yard rushing games. He's already carried 350 times this season, and the only downside to his otherwise brilliant rushing year is that he's only scored 11 times. With only 20.3 points per game, nobody on the Spartans has found the end zone with ease.

While you wait patiently for me to post my official word on Eli Roth's (Cabin Fever) second feature film Hostel, inside you'll find a gushingly positive review sent in by a B-D reader named Dan. Eli wishes to keep most of the details under wraps, so the reviews have basically no spoilers, so read on and don't worry. Sony Screen Gems' film stars Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson, Eythor Gudjonsson, Takashi Miike, Jan Vlasak and Eli Roth (cameo)… I was lucky enough to catch the first public screening of a rough cut of Eli Roth's sophomore horror project, Hostel. The cut was incomplete, featuring missing special effects elements, a rough audio and music mix, and several scenes that probably won't make it into the theatrical cut. Eli Roth attended the screening alongside Quentin Tarantino as well as Jay Hernandez and Derek Richardson, the film's two principal actors.
Hostel follows two American backpackers (Hernandez & Richardson) traveling through Europe, looking for opportunities to take advantage of all the pleasures foreigners are told Europe has to offer: booze, drugs, adventures, beautiful girls and endless sexual opportunities. When they travel to Slovakia in search of an exclusive youth hostel where the girls are beautiful and the sex is plentiful, they end up in the clutches of some sick, sick freaks.
I was a huge fan of Cabin Fever. I loved Roth's mix of gore and humor. I loved Audition, the bleak Japanese thriller by Takashi Miike, where Roth got some of his inspiration for Hostel. I also spent a semester studying abroad in the Czech Republic, where Hostel was shot. So needless to say, I was thrilled for this movie.
Hostel delivers. In terms of pacing, it flowed similar to Audition, which might confuse, bore or annoy some American audiences. Audition doesn't turn scary until the last thirty minutes. Hostel opens as a teen sex comedy, showcasing the exploits of two horny Americans and one perverted Icelandic traveler. Topless girls frolic across the screen often in the film's first half. The dialogue is typical Roth, with the words "gay" and "fag" being tossed around often. Some people might be put off by this, but I find Roth's dialogue realistic and pretty funny at times.
A little over halfway through, the movie shifts tone drastically, and never returns to its lighthearted beginnings. One by one, the travelers end up in creepy rooms full of intimidating surgical tools and scary looking Eastern Europeans. Toes get cut off, legs get drilled, faces get mutilated, and so on. Roth does a great job with the gore. It's not too senseless and overboard; it's treated realistically and with extreme suspense. There are a lot of cringe-inducing moments. There's also an amazing sequence where we watch a pitch black screen for a good minute and a half while Jay Hernandez's character squirms and whimpers in fear. All of the actors did surprisingly well with the torture scenes, really selling their fear and making the pain seem believable.
There's a lot of talk that this movie getting an NC-17 rating. Based on this cut, it seems likely. However, if the editors lose a few more of the nude scenes, and maybe tone down one or two of the gore scenes, it could squeak by with an R. Hopefully the studios won't cut too much, because horror fans will be satisfied with the film the way it is now. We'll find out when Hostel hits theaters sometime in the near future.

Meeting Community Needs
Berman, Howard, Inquiry
Nonprofit enterprises are society's safety net, entrusted by the community with assuring not only its health, education, and welfare, but also with protecting and advancing its arts, culture, and human values. Nonprofit enterprises create and enhance our quality of life, affecting every community in the nation--and each person's life.
How do these organizations fit into both contemporary society and economy? How do they relate to government and to business (the for-profit sector), and how have they come to exist at all?
The Nonprofit Sector
To begin, it is useful to recognize that the nonprofit sector is a bit of a "catch all" for organizations that do not fit neatly elsewhere.
Also, the reported data for the sector do not include all the economic activity that takes place within it, either because organizations are not incorporated or, if incorporated, are not registered with, and/or do not report to the government. (1)
With this caveat in mind, in 2008 more than 1.7 million nonprofit entities were registered with the Internal Revenue Service. This represents a small fraction of all organizations in the United States. In addition, there are an unknown number of unregistered third-sector organizations (i.e., religious congregations--only about half of the estimated 350,000 religious congregations register) and organizations with less than $5,000 in annual revenue that are not required to register. Also, unincorporated entities and ad hoc efforts are not recognized in the data.
Recognizing these limitations, it is estimated that the nonprofit sector accounts for about 5% of the nation's gross domestic product. If estimated on the basis of salaries and wages, the sector's economic footprint increases to an estimated 8% of the gross domestic product--or about $1.1 trillion. (2)
If measured by expenses or assets, the largest components of the nonprofit sector are providers of health services, followed by research and education institutions. Together they account for more than 57% of the sector's expenses and more than 42% of its assets. Alternatively, if measured by the number of entities, research and education organizations are the largest component (almost 15% of all registered organizations). (3)
As striking as the economic dominance of the health services and education components of the sector is the fact that almost 75% of all reporting public charities (those nonprofit organizations with a 501(c)(3) IRS designation) have expenses of $500,000 or less, and 44% have expenses of $100,000 or less. (4) The simple conclusion is that most nonprofit entities are small, producing a societal impact far greater than their economic footprint.
Exhibit 1 provides a quantitative description of the relative size of the major elements of the sector. While it is clear that the sector is dominated by its health and education components, it is also clear that it is marked by great diversity. The homeless shelter and
the art museum are both encompassed by it, as are the university and the preschool, the nursing home and the child care center, and the research hospital and the AIDS clinic. To understand how this disparate mix of enterprises fits into the contemporary socioeconomic environment, it is helpful to start by creating an analytical construct consisting of a bit of economics, some political science and sociology, and a realistic view of human nature.
Business and government are generally thought of as the basic organizational building blocks of the American economy. In reality, the economy involves a blending of sectors, not individual, discrete blocks or components. However, for purposes of initial discussion, the sectors can be considered to be distinct, with business and government each anchoring one end of an economic continuum. (See Exhibit 2.)
Business is the wheel horse of the economy. …

"...with Obama's evil deeds and actions, he has essentially declared war on America, its people, its laws, and institutions, its sovereignty, and its values. This president has worked to undermine religious values while expanding the role of abusive government into the lives of all Americans." Are we witnessing the beginning of a 'global financial holocaust' due to this 'planned economic collapse'? Max Keiser discusses the 'global insurrection against the banking occupation' in the excellent video below. Why are those protesting against bankster crimes being pepper sprayed by those protecting banking criminals? Martial law begins like this. This is financial terrorism. These bankster terrorists MUST be STOPPED. Barack Obama has orchestrated acts of espionage against people and organization with whom he differs ideologically, using powerful instruments of tyranny such as the IRS to target political enemies, defined as anyone with the testicles to identify themselves as patriots or conservative. He has worked feverishly to turn America into a third-world failed state, along the lines of Mexico, by deliberately gutting our laws and endorsing the illegal invasion of Americaby uneducated peasants, mostly to swell the ranks of the Democrat Party for future elections. Is Barack Obama deliberately provoking the American people into a 2nd revolution and/or civil war in order to declare Martial law and thereby stomp out all opposition? - GlobalCrisisWatch -

Extended Product Description:
Pennzoil 2-Cycle Air-Cooled Engine Oil is formulated with high quality Pennzoil "tough film" base stocks and an additive package designed specifically for air-cooled engines. Air-cooled engines run hotter than water cooled outboard engines and require a lubricant formulated for their unique lubrication requirements. Applications such as small maintenance equipment can run extremely hot. Dust and dirt on the cooling fins increase the severity. Pennzoil 2-Cycle Air-Cooled Engine Oil contains a unique combination of detergents and ash-free dispersants to protect against high-temperature deposits and ring sticking, plug fouling and port plugging. Anti-wear protection for the high rpm needle roller bearing commonly found in small air-cooled engines is also critical.
Intended Use:
Pennzoil 2-Cycle Air-Cooled Engine Oil is recommended for air-cooled, two-cycle engines in all applications which do not specify NMMA TC-W, TC-WII or TC-W3. It may be used in premix with gasoline or oil injection systems. It is specifically formulated for higher temperature applications such as chain saws, weed cutters, air blowers, lawnmowers, snow blowers and small generators. It is also recommended for two-cycle engines in motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATV's which do not specify...

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
Although Tuolumne County's slate isn't completely clean, it will begin the 2007 with a host of new leaders:
Teri Murrison, elected last month, will be sworn in as District 3 supervisor next week thus ending more than a year during which the Twain Harte-Tuolumne area has been without board representation.
Sheriff Jim Mele, sworn in last month to complete the retired Dick Rogers' unexpired term, will begin his first elected term at the same time.
Assistant Assessor Ken Caetano, elected without opposition last month, will take over for his boss of 28 years, Dave Wynne.
County Administrator Craig Pedro, appointed last summer replace C. Brent Wallace, begins his first full year in office.
County Clerk Debi Russell, appointed early last year to replace the retiring Tim Johnson and subsequently voted into office without opposition begins her first elected term.
The Tuolumne Utilities District also begins the year with new leadership. With the retirement of General Manager Gary Egger and Directors Judy Delbon and Louise Giersch, the district loses decades of experience. Taking over are General Manager Pete Kampa and Directors Joseph Day and Delbert Rotelli.
In Calaveras County, Russ Thomas, who won a bitterly contested election over incumbent Victoria Erickson in November, will join a Board of Supervisors sure to deal with a number of crucial growth issues in the next 12 months.
As usual, changes in leadership are a double-edged sword. Lost with retirement and even with election loss is experience. Assessor Wynne alone takes 28 years with him, although the fact that Caetano has been his right-hand man for nearly as long softens the blow.
Likewise Pedro, Mele and Russell brought to office with them decades of Tuolumne County and governmental experience.
The changing guard has hit TUD particularly hard: Directors Delbon and Giersch together served nearly 20 years on the district board and Egger alone has more than 30 years of experience in engineering and administration.
On the plus side, new leaders can bring new ideas and fresh approaches.
Egger's successor, Pete Kampa, had an exemplary record with the Twain Harte Community Services District. And new Directors Day and Rotelli have an impressive combination of experience and education.
With the pending takeover of the troubled Matt Dillon Water Co. and the needed purchase of more pasture for wastewater storage and disposal, the new TUD administration is already off to a good start.
Teri Murrison should be a welcome addition to the Tuolumne County board. Not only did she post impressive wins in the primary and general elections, but she has attended nearly every supervisors' meeting for the past year and will hit the ground not only running, but impeccably prepared.
Yes, Murrison will give the board a long-needed tie-breaking vote. But more importantly, she may lend valuable perspective on issues ranging from the future of Tuolumne General Hospital, affordable housing and septic disposal rules to neon signs in Twain Harte.
In Calaveras, incoming District 5 Supervisor Russ Thomas won an election that focused on what is easily that county's hottest, most divisive issue: growth. He was seen as a more moderate alternative to incumbent Erickson.
Now Thomas' job will be to help build consensus on a board that may be split down the middle on Calaveras County's future.
Our departing directors, administrators and supervisors deserve the public's thanks for their many years of service. Their jobs, as their successors surely know, are not easy.
As the New Year approaches, those successors our new leaders deserve our support, encouragement and optimism.

I'm curious what the database structure (mysql) might be for something like Google+ circles, and how they keep track of user-defined circles. I'd like to implement something similar for an app, where users can choose to share content with certain other users.
Essentially, a user can place a friend into a group he has defined to filter the content that friend can see. As of now, I have a fairly simple implementation of a friends system - it is a standard normalized database which includes a users table and a friends table.
Can anyone shed light on how one might go about setting up a database structure for "groups" or circles? I thought about adding an extra field to the Friends table, which would be a foreign key to a groups table. However, I can see this becoming unwieldy very quickly, especially if users can define groups and place friends in any number of groups.
Is there perhaps a quick implementation of this, or one that doesn't require the computing power of Google's servers?

Kangana Ranaut urges Delhiites not to use tinted glasses Last Updated : 08 Jan 2013 08:01:52 PM IST Actress Kangna Ranaut with JCP (Traffic) Satyendra Garg removes a black film from a car-window as she takes part in an event organised by the traffic police at India Gate to mark National Road Safety Week in New Delhi on Tuesday.
After brutal Delhi gangrape case, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut on Monday asked Delhiites to remove tinted glasses and curtains from their vehicles.
During a special drive launched by Delhi Traffic Police to check on vehicles with tinted glasses entering the national capital, Kangana Ranaut also removed tinted films along with JCP (Traffic) Satyendra Garg from the vehicles at India gate.
Meanwhile, Kangna urged people not to use tinted glasses as it would help controlling crime in the capital.
Although, it seems to be a small step it would help in keeping a check on incidents of robbery and sexual assault, she said.
"We have been limited the number of vehicles with tinted glass on Delhi roads from earlier eight or nine out of 10 to two or three. The problem, however, is with the trans-border traffic," JCP (Traffic) Satyendra Garg said, adding that the city had to share the "white man's burden".
"We realised that a large number of vehicles, with tinted glasses and films, come to the national capital and that is why we decided to form dedicated units to keep a check on them.
"There are 20 odd border points in Delhi. We have formed a dedicated unit to keep a check on such vehicles at each point. They check the vehicle and they remove dark films if they have tinted windows," Garg said on the sidelines of an awareness program here.
At the same event, Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut appealed to people to avoid using tinted car windows.
Garg informed that over 2.90 lakh vehicles were prosecuted since May last year for using dark films, and insisted that no exceptions were made while dealing with the offenders.
The police officer said that only persons with 'Z' or 'Z Plus' security were allowed to use dark films on the window glasses of their vehicles.
"There is no exception to the Supreme Court order of April 2012. However, those who have been provided with 'Z' or 'Z Plus' protection by the state or central government were allowed to use the film. But that too is for one or two vehicles and not for entire carcade," he said.
Garg, however, said that company fitted tinted glass in vehicles were permissible under the law.
Asked what about the use of curtains in buses, Garg said there was no such orders putting restriction on their use but added that in the wake of the Delhi gang-rape bus operators have been asked to "keep the curtains folded while travelling on Delhi roads".
He also mentioned that around 1,000 buses were prosecuted for using dark films.Source:PTI, Other Agencies, Staff Reporters

Forensic Anthropology
Spring 2015
SUNY College at Geneseo
Instructor: Kristi J. Krumrine
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 585.245.5043 (office)
585.281.3821 (cell)
Office: Bailey 147
Office hrs: MF 1:00-2:30 pm

TA: Zachary Hays
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Office hrs: W 12:00-1:00 pm
Forensic anthropology is a branch of physical anthropology that examines human, usually skeletal, remains in the context of medicolegal issues. Forensic anthropologists analyze the scientific evidence of skeletal or badly decomposed remains in order to establish circumstances of death and identification of the decedent by estimating age, gender, ethnic affinity, stature, pathologic conditions, and traumatic injury. This course will be an introduction to human osteology, and present methods and techniques used in forensic anthropology to achieve its goals. The class will discuss case reports in forensic anthropology, different contexts in which remains are found, and methods of recovery.
The course is taught from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating concepts from anthropology, pathology, biology, geology, sociology, and criminal justice. Students will develop an understanding of how forensic anthropologists, osteologists, and paleopathologists are able to reconstruct events surrounding the life and death of individuals, both past and present. Students will develop analytical and critical thinking skills through laboratory analyses, and learn how multidisciplinary research is used in forensic anthropology to achieve its goals. Students will develop a greater understanding of biological and cultural human diversity through readings and discussions.
Students upon successfully completing this course will be able to demonstrate the following by the end of the semester:
1. The ability to identify bones of the body, including the function and forensic significance of each bone.
2. The ability to establish a biological profile from a human skeleton, including age, sex, ancestry, stature, pathology and trauma identifications.
3. The ability to process a crime scene, including search and recovery methods, establishing time since death, and a working understanding of the ancillary investigators involved, including their duties and responsibilities.

Steadman, Dawnie 2009. Hard Evidence: Case Studies in Forensic Anthropology, 2nd edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall
There will be 3 exams (non-cumulative) in this course, each worth 20% of the final grade. The exams will cover lectures, readings, and films and will emphasize your conceptual grasp of the course material. All exams MUST be taken at the scheduled time. Due dates are outlined below.
There will be three (3) laboratory assignments for this course. The first lab (establishing the forensic context) will be completed in class and is worth 5% of the final grade. The second lab assignment involves the study of a human skeleton and is comprised of 4 parts: a skeletal/dental inventory, anthropometric analysis, establishment of a biological profile, and pathological/trauma analysis. This lab report is worth 15% of the final grade. The third lab, a burial lab worth 5% of the final grade, will be completed outside of class. Labs must be attended and work completed during the allotted class time to have instructor help, but students may attend TA office hours for extra lab time. Missed lab time MUST be made up in order to complete assignments- students are not permitted to simply copy from other group members. One letter grade will be deducted for each class period after the lab is due. Written portions of labs are graded on spelling, grammar, organization and content. Any writing or report you author should be considered scientific and technical, and if considered as a forensic report, would be admissible in a court of law. Ultimately, errors or omissions reflect upon the author and their credibility.
The final assignment will be in the form of a group presentation, worth 15% of the final grade. Presentations will be given sometime in April (see schedule); specific dates will be assigned once groups pick their topics. A detailed description of the presentation assignment will be handed out later.
Students will also complete a recovery exercise on the last day of class. This will require students to come 30 minutes early so that there is time to complete the exercise. Teams will be organized to ensure that at least half of the members can come early. The extra 30 minutes will be given back at some point during the semester. The recovery exercise will comprise 20% of the final exam grade (20 points). Any student who is unable to attend the recovery exercise will be provided with an alternative assignment.
Reading assignments and posted PP presentations are meant to reinforce and compliment the class lectures, images, and discussions, and in no way replace them. Consequently, your regular class attendance is essential for understanding class topics. Coming to class and arriving to class on time are very important for your success in this course. I don't penalize students for poor attendance (as per college policy), but I do reward students for good attendance by bumping up any borderline letter grades. As stated earlier, missed lab time must be made up during either my or our TA's office hours.
Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Please refer to page 344 of the Undergraduate Bulletin regarding SUNY Geneseo policies.
** A detailed description of each lab will be handed out at a later date. The 3rd column above represents points for each assignment out of a total of 500 possible points for the course.
The readings assigned below should be completed prior to class each week. Keep current with the reading assignments! Doing so makes class more interesting, helps prepare students for labs, and makes it easier to study for tests. PowerPoint presentations are available on mycourses. I recommend that students print out presentations (3 images to a page with notes lines) before class so as to eliminate the need for copying each slide during class.

England Takes Quick Wickets as Play Resumes in Second Test Match
England took two Sri Lanka wickets soon after play resumed following a rain delay on the fourth day of the second cricket Test.
Mahela Jayawardene was caught by Alastair Cook off Steven Finn for 49 and Thilan Samaraweera was caught by Matt Prior off Chris Tremlett for nine.
By 2 p.m. local time, 50 minutes after play started, Sri Lanka was on 400-5 at Lord's in London, in response to England's 486 all out. Prasanna Jayawardene had 4 and Farveez Maharoof was on 2.
Yesterday, fewer than 40 overs were played because of the weather. Sri Lanka was 372-3 in its first innings at close of play, with captain Tillakaratne Dilshan contributing 193.
England won the rain-shortened first Test by an innings and 14 runs after bowling out Sri Lanka for 82 in its second innings when a draw appeared most likely.
The teams are scheduled to play three Tests, a Twenty20 match, and five one-day internationals.

The third of Carlson's Four Lindas series is quietly appealing. Some of the plotlines move briskly, but others drag and are not realistic. Yet women "of a certain age" will enjoy a book that is relevant to their daily struggles and situations.
The four women named Linda who reconnected at their high school reunion continue to share their lives. Abby is trying to get her bed and breakfast fixed up while worrying about her husband's recent heart attack. Marley's grown son is having some problems, and Janie is heartbroken when her boyfriend's ex-wife re-enters his life. Caroline struggles with her mother's Alzheimer's. (DAVID C. COOK, Mar., 336 pp., $14.99)

Not bad but definitely average. The rum flavour is lost.
This cake was SOOOOOOOOOOO good. I too adapted it a little more to add more rummy goodness. I left out the lemon zest and juice and added 2 tsp of rum. I also used 6 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cu...
I used the basis of this recipe to make a very rummy cake that came out super good. What I changed: Swap almond extract for equal amounts of rum extract. Leave out the lemon zest. Swap the 2 tsp...
This is an excellent recipe, instead of using rum I used almond extract, curshed almonds and a box of white cake mix.

Nope my penis exudes pure oxygen in times of crisis.
But he does seem to be getting proper humping etiquette down. So there's progress.
He just grabbed my boob and justified it by saying "I just wanna feel your heart beat"
I was told my cock was a religious experience.
I'm like a savant for remembering names I learned while I was drunk. Seriously, I'm three for three. I'm on a roll.
He drunk dialed me at 2am asking if he could put a baby in me.
just woke up in a camero on the way to nebraska, i would appreciate it if you answered your phone.
I blew him while watching the aristocats. There were singing cats in the background. I think he he hummed along at one point.
My chest hair is, as we speak, arching upward to embrace my neck beard. The union will be a storied one.
This is what we get for YOLOing our way to obesity
I was laying there trying to sleep and then he sat up, took out his dick, and put it on my shoulder. It wasn't even hard- it was just casually perched.
I feel like a color. Like a wavy color
My mom just looked at me while watching the fireworks and asked if it reminded me of how I felt after sex. I'm so uncomfortable.
