Safest St. Petersburg Neighborhoods
With a crime rate of 63 per one thousand residents, St. Petersburg has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 16. Within Florida, more than 93% of the communities have a lower crime rate than St. Petersburg.In fact, after researching dangerous places to live, NeighborhoodScout found St. Petersburg to be one of the top 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S.A.
Importantly, when you compare St. Petersburg to other communities of similar population, then St. Petersburg crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how St. Petersburg does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how St. Petersburg does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in St. Petersburg.
For St. Petersburg, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in St. Petersburg is one in 105.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in St. Petersburg is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In St. Petersburg, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 19, which is a rate of 53 per one thousand population.
Importantly, we found that St. Petersburg has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in St. Petersburg is one in 221.

'Internal communication greatly influences a company's corporate culture'
Paula Lovell is president and chief executive officer of Lovell Communications, a Nashville-based marketing and public relations firm that marks its 25th anniversary this month. Since its inception, the company has worked with more than 350 clients representing every U.S. state. Lovell, who launched the business with a family loan in 1988, recently sat down with City Paper Assistant Business Editor William Williams to chat.
What, if anything, do CEOs consistently fail to understand about PR and communications that could make them more successful than otherwise?
Most business leaders aren't aware of the full scope of the PR/communications function and the breadth of skills their team should have. It's not just about media relations. PR is a strategic business function that should coordinate with marketing and sales, and it can have significant impact on the bottom line. CEOs should bring their PR practitioners and consultants completely "into the fold," so they can effectively serve in a management position and further the CEO's vision and goals — not just put out fires.
What role does internal communication and corporate culture play in how a company communicates externally?
Internal communication greatly influences a company's corporate culture, which then plays a role in a company's brand reputation. People develop their perceptions of a company not simply from press releases and advertisements. Employees who are the "face" of a business are impacted by what they see and hear coming through the organization — and certainly not just in a formal way. They are the individuals who project an image and paint a perception of the company.
A good PR person is skilled at ferretting out rumors, grumblings and even people who are not a "fit" in the way of corporate culture. If they know the CEO's vision, they can use their expertise to influence, persuade and change.
What role does the CEO play in steering that culture?
There is no more important role for a CEO than that of guiding company culture. Sometimes leaders get so busy and stressed they don't see that all eyes are upon them, and they forget that everything they say and do influences internal culture. CEOs should get a reality check every year by doing internal surveys about the company culture. Do the answers reflect what the CEO thinks the culture is or should be? If not … surprise. The CEO has work to do.
When should the CEO not be the company spokesperson?
Every situation is different. It depends on the purpose of the particular media interview. Generally speaking, with a large corporation, if you want the focus on the local markets you should have a local spokesperson — both in good times and bad. Also, there are incidents where an interview focuses on an area — clinical issues, technical issues — where the CEO is just not as conversant. That's when the company needs to use an internal expert as the spokesperson.
I understand Lovell Communications has represented about 1,000 hospitals. Why did you decide to build your business in health care, and how did you do it?
Our health care specialty stems from more than 25 years of advising acute and long-term hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes and rehab facilities, behavioral health centers, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, payors, home health and hospice providers, ambulatory surgery centers, tech companies, social service agencies, revenue enhancement companies, medical device manufacturers and disease management specialists.
Early on, we were fortunate to be associated with some hugely successful national health care companies based in Nashville. Over the years, we've had experience in marketing health care services and product lines as well as managing crisis communications at times of wrongful deaths, Medicare decertification, drug diversions, sexual harassment, hospital or service closures, labor issues, fraud and abuse, data breaches and bankruptcies. We have a lot of "depth on the bench" in these and other sensitive areas.
What percentage of your business is health care related and what is the significance of this?
About 80 percent of our work is health care related. The rest is primarily in the education space, like nursery schools, private grammar and high schools, special education and colleges and universities, as well as banking/finance. I think if you have a lot of depth in these highly regulated and sometimes volatile areas, you can do just about anything.
Are we going to see more firms within your industry that focus, say, 75 percent of their efforts on one industry? And, if so, what industries, other than health care, might be noteworthy? Perhaps there is more specialization already, and many don't realize it.
The mega-firms will always have to be diverse, but we are a boutique firm that focuses on business-to-business (B2B) and the services industries. I think most boutique firms will either focus on B2B/services or in business-to-consumer/retail. They are very, very different.
A major part of your business is crisis communications. Tell me about that.
I think I am an adrenaline junkie, and most of the people in our shop are, as well. With serious crisis work, you are working side by side with the senior management team as well as inside and outside consultants. I like the strategy, the pressure and the potential impact that even a single word can have on the management and repair of a crisis.
You have a business partner, Rosemary Plorin. How does this relationship work?
Rosemary Plorin is the best and smartest business partner anyone could ever hope for. She was named partner in 2005, and we work as joint leaders of the firm. Both of us are "working managers," as well as mentors to the staff and each other.
What's the most dramatic change you've seen in the public relations industry since you started your company 25 years ago?
Technology, social media and digital marketing.
What is your take regarding social media?
Social media is part of a good marketing mix. It cannot be overlooked, nor can it be the only element. The most important thing about social media for a business is to ask: Why are we doing this and how will we measure success? If it doesn't play a role in achieving business goals, forget it.
Will Lovell Communications do anything special this month to celebrate 25 years of operations?
We just did a visual rebranding of the firm after 25 years, produced new sales materials, hired a few people to start in January and plan to celebrate all year long.

Recent news stories featured Alcoa (NYSE:AA) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) as sum-of-parts plays without any indication that either firm is considering or would consider a break-up.
This is jumping the gun. Instead, investors interested in following corporate actions should wait for investor activists to accumulate shares in a break-up candidate or for an executive to announce such intentions.
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Typically, management does not want to cede control over a business segment. Selling a piece of a company is like giving up or admitting defeat for most managers, and as a group they tend to fight asset disposal. It is also theorized that executives refuse to give up control because having more assets under their control helps justify high salaries and lofty egos. The idea is that a CEO of a $3 billion company seems to have more clout than a CEO of a $2 billion company.
Value is not enough. Consider how UBS (NYSE:UBS) analysts concluded that Hewlett-Packard ought to separate the business solutions division from its personal computers and printer operations. According to their analysis, HPQ shares would be worth $20 or more per share if the businesses were run separately. This is much higher than the roughly $14 price of shares today. The analysts led by Steven Milunovich stated, "HP, with its fully developed enterprise and consumer businesses, should split up in order to realize greater value." Any loss in purchasing power would be more than made up for by an increase in management focus.
Regardless, Hewlett-Packard refuted the concept that it would break up. According to spokesman Michael Thacker, Hewlett-Packard is stronger together than apart and the customers believe in one HP. CEO Meg Whitman said that she would not spin off the personal computer business though this course of action was considered by her predecessor Leo Apotheker.
However, the UBS analysts suggest that HP could break up if "prompted by activists or private equity." Whitman said the enterprise business and the software business would be the only growth engines for HP. Milunovich believes that at current share prices HP investors are actually getting the printer and PC business for free.
Such scenarios are great fodder for analysts, but without a management decision a spinoff or business sale will not happen. There is no way to unlock value without a key.
Another study turned to Alcoa and investigated whether the firm as a whole is worth more than its parts. Bloomberg averaged the work of four different analysts who each used a sum-of-the-parts valuation of Alcoa's four divisions as separate businesses. The average of these estimates for the parsed businesses would be worth $14.82 a share. This is almost twice the value of Alcoa shares which trade near $8.70 today.
However, this result may not matter at all. Alcoa CEO Klaus Kleinfeld said that keeping the company together makes sense. His rationale was based on how the firm is a global, large company with sophisticated intra-company purchasing. This environment is thought to let the business segments flourish.
Real Spinoff Candidates
In contrast, Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) is somewhat more likely to sell off business units. The ascent of new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has increased the odds for the sale of other non-core assets and the return of capital to shareholders. She has demonstrated that she is not afraid to shake things up by implementing major changes in the firm's upper management line-up. Essentially, she has the freedom to make big changes to the company since she would be correcting the mistakes of others instead of admitting her own. Moreover, activist investors are well represented among shareholders and the board of Yahoo. Mayer would have their support to sell more non-core assets, Yahoo! Japan in particular. Such a deal may be delayed since the presumptive acquirer, Softbank, is now focused on buying a controling interest in Sprint (S).
More certain than possible Yahoo spinoffs, Safeway (NYSE:SWY) announced that its gift card business, Blackhawk Network Holdings, is planned to IPO in the first half of 2013.
An overview of price multiples reveals that Safeway is particularly attractive.
Diversified Computer Systems
Grocery Stores
Internet Information Providers
Clearly, investors seeking to play corporate events should consider Safeway as a potential buy candidate. It is arguably cheaper than Alcoa or Hewlett-Packard and is far more likely to actually go through with a spin-off.

MONROE, La. (AP)—Brandon Hazzard scored 30 points and Troy held off Louisiana-Monroe in the closing minutes for an 83-82 victory on Thursday.

Troy missed the front end of two 1-and-1 opportunities in the final 26 seconds, but the Warhawks' Colby Carr missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Vernon Taylor scored 16 points, Antywan Jones had 13 and Yamene Coleman and Michael Vogler scored 10 points each for Troy.
Tommie Sykes scored 23, Hill added 17, Tony Hooper scored 15 and Rudy Turner had 10 points for the Warhawks.

Advanced Maritime Law Enforcement Boarding Officer Course Ends
April 30, 2009
On April 30th the head of Georgia's Border Police, General Zaza Gogava; the head of Georgia's Coast Guard, Captain Besarion Shengalia, and the US Embassy Chief of Party, Land Border Advisor James F. Kelly attended the ceremony marking the end of the Advanced Maritime Law Enforcement Boarding Officer Course in Georgia's Coast Guard Base in Poti.
The main objective of the two-week course was to provide Georgian Coast Guard boarding team members with classroom instruction and numerous practical exercises in order to confidently conduct normal to high risk boarding. The course included extensive instruction and practical exercises in subject control techniques, defensive tactics, arrest procedures, use of deadly force, judgmental exercises and additional boarding exercises.
The training was attended by 24 Georgian Coast Guard officers, members of law enforcement and security division. The training, conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard instructors, was requested and funded by the U.S. Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS).
At least four commanding or executive officers of the Georgian Coast Guard vessels will receive extensive training in the U.S. every year. The first two officers will travel to the U.S. in late May. Upcoming local trainings include: Port State Control (May), Incident Command Systems training (July). EXBS plans to refurbish the vessel repair facility in Poti and provide equipment for the facility that will enable the Georgian Coast Guard to maintain their fleet internally.
EXBS also provides funding for the English language lab established in 2004 in Poti. The lab is based on the Defense Language Institute teaching program. The teaching program is expanding due to opening of a new lab in Batumi; the building for the English language lab in Batumi will be refurbished and equipped by the U.S. Government.
Since 1999, through the Georgia Border Security and Law Enforcement program and the EXBS program, the United States has provided over 25 million dollars of assistance to the Georgian Coast Guard. This assistance has been designed to strengthen the Coast Guard's capabilities to control and manage the legitimate transit of goods and people across Georgia's borders, and to address concerns about contraband smuggling, weapons trafficking, terrorism, illegal migration, and revenue losses in a maritime environment.
Due to the increase in the number and complexity of projects impacting the Georgian Coast Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard assigned a Maritime advisor to the post who will assume duties in July. Border Police of Georgia agreed to assign an English-speaking Georgian Coast Guard officer for continuing liaison with the U.S. Embassy.
The Georgian Coast Guard has proven to be a very successful and efficient organization. The U.S. Government continues to support the Georgian Coast Guard by providing equipment, training and expertise. This is additional proof of the U.S.'s interest and role in strengthening Georgian maritime security.

For as long as I've been a fan of the NFL the draft as always been at the end of April.
Now with moving it back almost two weeks how do you feel about it?
Also how will this affect the NFL?
Peter King had an interesting take on how it really isn't fair to the the players coming into the league losing nearly two weeks of study / training to get ready for the season. Especially Quarterbacks needing to learn an offensive system.
Personally I think it's dumb and hope they move it back to April next year.

Easy to prepare
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by energetyx on Apr 19, 2012
For ease of preparation, this is very good as you can just mix it with some water and have a batter ready to cook with, and the taste is also quite pleasant. The only problem is that it breaks apart very easily when cooking and has quite a crumbly texture. I had to mix it half and half with regular flour before my children would eat it.

For some reason I haven't been able to decide on the perfect spot for this plant, so I keep moving it. In spit of that, it takes hold and grows and blooms every year. I rated it as neutral because I suspect this plant could spread more than you might want, although I haven't yet had that problem. The stems and undersides of the leaves have a nice burgundy color that is very attractive with the pale pink of the flowers.

may have never truly caught on with American audiences (often narrow-mindedly deemed "too British-sounding"), but the group became a sensation in their homeland with their anthemic brand of glam rock in the early '70s, as they scored a staggering 11 Top Five hits in a four-year span from 1971 to 1974 (five of which topped the charts). Comprised of singer/guitarist
Noddy Holder
Neville Holder
, June 15, 1946 in Walsall, West Midlands, England), guitarist
Dave Hill
(born April 4, 1946, in Fleet Castle, Devon, England), bassist
Jimmy Lea
(born June 14, 1949, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England), and drummer
Don Powell
(born September 10, 1946, Bilston, West Midlands, England), the group originally formed in the spring of 1966 under the name the In-Be-Tweens, playing out regularly with a mixture of soul and rock tracks. But besides a lone obscure single, "You Better Run" (penned by future
Kim Fowley
), the band never issued any other recordings. By the end of '60s, the group had changed their name to
Ambrose Slade
and signed on with the Fontana label. Soon after, the quartet hooked up with
bass player-turned-manager
Chas Chandler
(who had discovered
Jimi Hendrix
a few years prior), who promptly suggested the group shorten the name to just
and assume a "skinhead" look (Dr. Martin boots, shaved heads) as a gimmick.
After several albums featuring few original compositions from the quartet came and went (1969's
, 1970's
Play It Loud
), the group began to write their own tunes, grew their hair long, and assumed the look of the then-burgeoning glam movement, joining the same cause championed by such fellow Brits as
David Bowie
T. Rex
. This new direction paid off in 1971 with the number 16 U.K. single "Get Down and Get With It," which soon touched off a string of classic singles and led to
becoming one of the most beloved party bands back home.
also utilized another gimmick, humorously misspelled song titles, as evidenced by such singles as "Coz I Luv You," "Look Wot You Dun," "Take Me Bak 'Ome," "Mama Weer All Crazee Now," "Gudbuy t'Jane," "Cum on Feel the Noize," "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me," and "Merry Xmas Everybody" (the latter of which re-entered the charts every holiday season for years afterward). Several attempts at cracking the U.S. market came up empty (with track listings between their U.K. and U.S. full-lengths differing), although such albums as
Slade Alive!
are considered to be some of the finest albums of the glam era.
continued to score further hit singles back home, including such correctly spelled tracks as "My Friend Stan," "Everyday," "Bangin' Man," "Far Far Away," "How Does it Feel," and "In for a Penny," but with glam rock's dissolution and punk's emergence by the mid-'70s, the hits eventually dried up for the quartet. Despite the change in musical climate,
stuck to their guns and kept touring and releasing albums, as the title to their 1977 album,
Whatever Happened to Slade?
, proved that the group's humor remained intact despite their fall from the top of the charts. A large, dedicated following still supported the group as they offered a performance at the 1980 Reading Festival that was considered one of the day's best, resulting in sudden renewed interest in the group back home and
scored their first true hit singles in six years with 1981's "We'll Bring the House Down" and "Lock up Your Daughters."
received a boost stateside around this time as well, courtesy of the U.S. pop-metal outfit
Quiet Riot
, who made a smash hit out of "Cum on Feel the Noize" in 1983 that resulted in a strong chart showing for
's 1984 release
Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply
(issued as
The Amazing Kamikaze Syndrome
in the U.K. a year earlier).
then enjoyed a pair of U.S. MTV/radio hits, "Run Runaway" and "My Oh My."
also tried their hand at producing another artist around this time as well, as they manned the boards for
's 1983 release
Play Dirty
. Despite another all-new studio release,
Rogues Gallery
, and
Quiet Riot
covering another classic
tune ("Mama Weer All Crazee Now"),
was unable to retain their newfound American audience or rekindled British following and they eventually faded from sight once more, this time without a comeback waiting around the corner. During the '90s, a truncated version of the group dubbed
Slade II
was formed (without
in attendance), while
became a popular U.K. television personality as well as the host of his own '70s rock radio show. A 21-track singles compilation, Feel the Noize: The Very Best of Slade, was issued in 1997 (re-released under the simple title of Greatest Hits a couple of years later), which proved to be a popular release in England.

SportsDay columnist Tim Cowlishaw, author of Drunk on Sports and co-host of "The Afternoon Show with Cowlishaw and Mosley" on KESN-FM 103.3, hosted a chat Thursday to talk all things sports. Here are some of the highlights:
Question: Maybe it's just because I have too many Texas Tech fans, but the Red Raiders faithful are pretty high on their Big 12 chances this season. Should they be? Or will you bring them back to reality for me.
Cowlishaw: I think Tech will keep going forward with Kliff but I think all of the Red Raiders' road games in the Big 12 (OSU, K-State, TCU, Iowa State, Baylor at AT&T) will be challenges. How much can they have fixed this defense? Teams averaged over 290 yards rushing PER GAME during that five-game losing streak last year. I expect Tech to be good and very exciting but not top three in the Big 12. Just outside of it probably.
Question: Why is TCU in so many preseason top-25 lists? I can't imagine the Frogs doing much on offense until things click in the second half of the year, and I really think the loss of Devonte Fields is going to mess with the psyche of the defense. Thoughts?
Cowlishaw: Maybe I haven't seen as many lists as you have. I don't see them being top 25. More like 6th in the Big 12. The Fields' loss is pretty big.
Question: Does UNT have a legit shot at Texas two weeks from now?
Cowlishaw: I don't know why they wouldn't. At the very least I would expect the Mean Green to give the Horns a scare. If Johnathan Gray is fine and Texas runs the ball the way they can, they should be fine. But who knows just yet?

Shades of Mercy: Presidential Forgiveness Heavily Favors Whites
Posted on Dec 4, 2011
By Dafna Linzer & Jennifer LaFleur, ProPublica
(Page 2)
All of the drug offenders forgiven during the Bush administration at the pardon attorney's recommendation—34 of them—were white.
Turning over pardons to career officials has not removed money and politics from the process, the analysis found. Justice Department documents show that nearly 200 members of Congress from both parties contacted the pardons office regarding pending cases. In multiple instances, felons and their families made campaign contributions to the lawmakers supporting their pleas. Applicants with congressional support were three times as likely to be pardoned, the statistical analysis shows.
In reviewing applicants, pardon lawyers rely on their discretion in ways that favor people who are married and who have never divorced, declared bankruptcy or taken on large amounts of debt. The intent, officials say, is to reward people who demonstrated "stability" after their convictions. But the effect has been to exclude large segments of society.
The ProPublica data show that applicants whose offense was older than 20 years had the best odds of a pardon. Married people, those who received probation rather than prison time, and financially stable applicants also fared better. When the effects of those factors and others were controlled using statistical methods, however, race emerged as one of the strongest predictors of a pardon.
Square, Site wide
The most striking disparity involved African Americans, who make up 38 percent of the federal prison population and have historically suffered from greater financial and marital instability. Of the nearly 500 cases in ProPublica's sample, 12 percent of whites were pardoned, as were 10 percent of Hispanics.
None of the 62 African Americans in the random sample received a pardon. To assess the chances of black applicants, ProPublica used the sample to extrapolate the total number of black applicants and compare it with the seven blacks whom Bush pardoned. Allowing for a margin of error, this yielded a pardon rate of between 2 percent and 4 percent.
Adams, the head of the pardons office under Bush, said applicants were not penalized based on race. In fact, Adams went out of his way, he said, to help black applicants.
"People in general more and more feel that it is appropriate to give extra consideration to a member of a minority group," he said.
Applicants are not asked about their race. But race is listed in many of the law enforcement documents collected for the application, including pre-sentence reports, rap sheets and Federal Bureau of Prisons records.
Under Justice Department regulations, Adams said, lawyers in the pardons office conduct a rigorous review of an applicant's offense. They then examine character, reputation and post-conviction behavior—tests of what Adams termed "attitude."
"Is the person seeking a pardon for forgiveness or vindication?" Adams said. "Are they going to wave a flag around that says a pardon proves they didn't do as bad as the government said?" If so, he said, "it is counted against them."
Samuel Morison, a lawyer who worked in the pardons office for 13 years, said there is an institutional interest in preserving the convictions secured by the government's prosecutors.
"The pardon office is not a neutral arbiter, because the Justice Department was a party to every criminal case it examines," Morison said.
The yardsticks used by the office under Adams continue to be used under his successor, Ronald L. Rodgers, a former federal prosecutor and military judge.
Theodore B. Olson, a former solicitor general who has represented high-profile pardon applicants, said he has long been frustrated by the slow pace of the process and its lack of transparency. The Justice Department says the office has increased its efficiency, deciding cases in a little more than two years, an improvement since 2005, when the wait was twice that.
When a pardon is denied, the notice comes with no explanation.
"It just comes out of the blue," Olson said. "You can't explain to your client why, especially when you think you've made a strong case."
Parallel Cases, Disparate Outcomes
Denise Armstead's beauty salon sits on a busy corner in Little Rock's west side. A big sign out front beckons customers from the largely African American neighborhood.
Armstead, who is black, became a hair stylist straight out of high school and dreamed of owning her own salon. Like many small-business owners, she kept her own receipts. An accountant filled out her tax forms.
In 1994, the federal government accused Armstead, then 35, of failing to report $32,000 in income over four years. She hired a lawyer and fought the charges, ultimately getting them reduced to a single count of under-reporting her income in 1989.
Her lawyer, a former Internal Revenue Service employee, advised that a trial would cost more than the $3,000 fine, she said. In a plea bargain, she received three years' probation and paid the fine in installments.
In the same city, Margaret Leggett and her husband, who are white, were also accused of violating federal tax laws. In 1981, Leggett rented an apartment under a fictitious name and her husband created a fake bank account and fake Social Security numbers. They then filed for multiple tax refunds totaling more than $25,000.
Leggett pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government by making false claims. In her mid-30s, she was sentenced to three years in prison but was released after three months. Her husband paid a $5,000 fine and served 15 months in prison.

I have always thought these segregated groups such as NAACP, Hispanics, Asians are ridiculous. Poverty touches everyone and NO one has a separate problem and without taking into account strategies of how people solve problems, you lessen your options. How can groups that scream diversity allow lack of diversity in their own group? Stupid and arrogant
No wonder more whites get to the front of the line, its the buddy system and minorities need to quit joining these groups and make peace with the beast, otherwise they don't even know who you are.

The Missouri Plan, in contrast to elections, gives voters virtually no voice in choosing judges. In Missouri Plan states, an unelected commission conducts private meetings and evaluates candidates behind closed doors, then submits the names of candidates to the governor. The governor is typically required to choose someone off of the commission's list to appoint to the court – even if he or she finds all the candidates undesirable. Beyond the lack of transparency and accountability, a major issue with this system is that most states that use it guaranty that a certain percentage of people on the commission are chosen by the state bar -- and the lawyers on the commission notoriously have a strong and disproportionate influence on the process. Professor Brian Fitzpatrick, who has researched state judicial selection extensively, concluded in one study that this method "may not remove politics from judicial selection so much as it moves the politics of judicial selection into closer alignment with the ideological preferences of the bar."
Liberals have another famous proponent of the Missouri Plan to help them with their cause: billionaire George Soros. The Open Society Institute, a Soros-funded non-profit, has spent more than $45 million promoting the nation. You don't have to be smarter than a 5th grader to be skeptical when a Soros back group is throwing in money like that. States judiciaries are at the forefront of many of the most contentious and significant cases: 17 states had their redistricting altered or changed by the courts, several states have made decisions concerning gay marriage and gay rights, in addition to hundreds of tort and property right cases heard in state courts. While O'Connor idealizes the Missouri Plan, the devil is in the details. It is important for citizens to keep an eye on the plans to transform our state judiciary into a system where true justice is lost to a tyranny of black robes.

Lightweight, quick-drying, and incredibly soft, the Packtowl Personal Towel is an excellent choice for travel, camping, and exercise routines. Its microfiber blend is not only exceptionally soft and smooth, but it also soaks up four times its weight in water for quick and easy drying. Plus, its antimicrobial treatment means this towel resists odor build-up when you're camping and traveling for extended periods.

Camping necessity
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This quick-drying towel is a camping must-have!
I ordered the medium and it is perfect for drying dishes or using as a washcloth. It dries extremely quick if you hang it in the sun, which comes in handy when doing dishes the morning before packing up. The towel packs very small and the fabric is super soft.
I'd love to pick up the XL (bath towel) size version of this as a gym shower towel.

Light weight and easy to store
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have really found this towel handy. Light weight, easy to clean, durable with use, easy to store, and very absorbent. Overall a great purchase.
Kym Simons, Gearhead
Packtowel to the rescue!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love how compact this towel is and the the little mesh bag that it comes in. I also got the opportunity to find out just how absorbent it is when I spilled a full beer in my tent! Woops! Luckily I had my packtowel handy was able to get all cleaned up in under a minute. It dries super fast too :)
They did the job.
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I ordered the Packtowel for my job as a summer camp counselor and had great expectations for it. The strap on the product broke the day I received it, but that obviously didn't affect me being able to use the cloth, it was simply frustrating. I took it with me to Bonnaroo and camp and found that it was too much of a hassle to put back in the case, but served its purpose. I will probably look for another product similar to this next year.
Kris Lander, Employee
Literally, the Best
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
There's five of us, which means we used to dedicate an entire backpack to hauling beach towels to the beach/lake/pool. And, even worse, that meant we were hauling five dirty, wet, gross towels home from the beach/lake/pool. Upgrading to five XXL Packtowls literally changed our lives. We can haul all five Packtowls in the same space we used to dedicate to a single towel, and because the microfiber dries quickly we never have to bring a wet towel home. Just use the intergrated snap loop to hang the towel from any convenient structure (we hang ours from the frame of our beach shelter) and the towel will be dry enough to pack in just a few minutes; this also means the towel can be used repeatedly through out the day and it will be dry almost every time you reach for it. Sand and dirt just brush away, so you'll never find yourself rubbing damp sand into your eyes after a swim, and you'll never bring home a large handful of washer-choking sand.
We purchased XXL to replace our traditional beach towels, and they're plenty big for laying out in the sun, or wrapping around your entire body (or, if you're an 18-month-old, wrapping twice around your entire body). But, if I were going to buy them again, I would probably opt to save a few bucks and downgrade to the XL (bath towel) size.
Good Towel
I liked this towel. I went backpacking in Europe and it was perfect. I needed something light and compact. It's absorbent and it dries up quickly. I got the XL and it's a decent size, it comes in a little pack which I really liked. I'm pleased with this towel.
Good towel. Snap loop broke.
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I was very excited to receive this towel. It comes with a little bag to keep it compact in your pack. The snap loop broke within the first day or two due to poorly constructed plastic pieces, but I still love the towel nonetheless. I tried gluing the snap back on. If that doesn't work, I'll just use a small carabiner instead.
best towel ever
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
This is the best towel ever. I use it both at home and camping. It absorbs so much better and quicker than any bath towel i have ever used.
Great Towel and Compact
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Great towel, I really like it, first time I used the snap for the loop broke so I have no loop to hang on my pack. I will make something that will last. (Cheap plastic snaps do not hold up)

As the saying goes, dogs are man's best friend. Since the Stone Age, our canine companions have been illustrated, described, dramatized, and eulogized in one form or another. "Dogs in Books" celebrates the role of over thirty dogs in literature, from Tintin's white Wire Fox Terrier Snowy, to Lassie, Toto, and Snoopy, as well as dogs from Mark Twain, Jack London, Rudyard Kipling, Charles Dickens, and many more well-known authors.
Culled from the British Library's incomparable archives, "Dogs in Books" features illustrations from rare editions of classic literature and contemporary renderings from popular books. Odysseus had his faithful dog Argos and King Lear's pack of dogs barked away at him as if warning him. From narrating an entire story to rescuing our hero, these dogs are critical characters in these books, demonstrating the timelessness of our undying love and respect for dogs and proving that they have always been more than just a pet.
Very little is known about life of Aesop. The Greek writer Herodotus (485-25 BC) recorded that he was born a slave on the island of Samos about 620 BC. The comedies of Aristophanes (448-388 BC) refer to his fables, but both he and Herodotus were clearly describing a person who had already been dead for several hundred years. Many of Aesop's fables featured animals and birds, often making a mistake or behaving badly and then suffering the consequences, and the fable of the greedy dog is no exception: "A dog who was crossing a river carrying a piece of meat looked down and saw his reflection in the water. Thinking the reflection was another dog with a bigger piece of meat, the dog dropped the meat he had and jumped into the water to take the larger piece, and ended up with no meat at all."
Since its first publication in 1719, the story of Robinson Crusoe has been a model for many tales of survival in primitive conditions and against great odds. Although Crusoe's dog is barely mentioned in the text, it is often illustrated in the numerous editions. There is no consistency in the way the dog is represented, but as there is no description of him this is not surprising. He also has no name, which is strange to the modern reader, since he was obviously a valued companion. The longest passage is at the beginning of the book when Crusoe is first shipwrecked: "...as for the dog, he jumped out of the ship of himself, and swam on shore to me the day after I went on shore with my first cargo, and was a trusty servant to me many years; I wanted nothing that he could fetch me, nor any company that he could make up to me; I only wanted to have him talk to me, but that would not do."
Magical animals are an essential part of many fairy tales, and "The Tinder Box" by Hans Christian Andersen is no exception. A brave soldier is sent to retrieve a tinder box (an old version of a match box), hidden inside a hollow tree. Inside the tree are three chests full of money, each one guarded by a ferocious dog which the hero must overcome in order to possess the riches, and he discovers that by striking the tinderbox he can command these fearsome dogs, so he enlists their powers and retrieves the treasure. Amongst the finest editions of Andersen's stories is the 1916 volume published in London by George Harrap. He commissioned the young Irish illustrator Harry Clarke (1889-1931) to create 16 color plates and 20 line drawings.
Bull's-Eye is the English bull terrier companion of the evil character Bill Sikes. A rare example of an out-and-out "bad" dog, his viciousness mirrors Sikes's brutality, and the noble canine characteristics of loyalty and obedience are cruelly distorted, as the dog is willing to harm anyone on Sikes's whim. After Nancy's murder, Sikes becomes determined to get rid of Bull's Eye, seeing him as evidence of his own guilt and convinced that he will give him away. Instead, the law catches up with him, and Bull's-Eye also meets his inevitable bloody end. "Oliver Twist" was Dickens's second novel, and some of his readers were taken aback by the novel's dark tone. The British Prime Minister Lord Melbourne was openly disgusted by its portrayal of low life, and even advised Queen Victoria not to read the book, saying it dealt with "paupers, criminals and other unpleasant subjects." The Queen found the novel "excessively interesting," however, and the book remains one of Dickens's most popular and frequently dramatized works.
Toto is Dorothy's dog in the "Oz" series of books, introduced at the beginning of the first book as having "saved her from going as gray as her surroundings." He is "a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes" and was drawn by WW Denslow as a Cairn or possibly a Yorkshire Terrier. In the first book, Toto behaves like an ordinary dog: when the cyclone approaches he runs and hides under the bed; when Dorothy meets the scarecrow he runs around barking, and later on he tries to bite the leg of the tin man, "which hurt his teeth." Toto is also a "real" dog in that he does not speak, although he gains this ability in later Oz books. He is also crucially important to the story: when Dorothy and her friends are finally granted an audience with the Wizard in the Emerald City, it is Toto who knocks over a wooden screen to reveal the very ordinary man behind it.
Ghostly dogs are pretty common in traditional folk tales, their eerie howls usually heard as the precursor to death and disaster. Arthur Conan Doyle was certainly aware of this when he heard the story of Richard Cabbell - Lord of Brook Manor and Buckfastleigh in Devon, England - who had supposedly been killed by a monstrous dog after stabbing his wife. The ghost of the dog apparently haunted the surrounding moors, and it is clear that Richard Cabbell became the model for the evil Hugo Baskerville. The finished story of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" was serialised in The Strand magazine from 1901-02. At this point, there had been no new Sherlock Holmes stories for almost eight years, and the new tale was an immediate success. The illustrations were by Sidney Paget, although Conan Doyle did not care for them, saying that he had made Sherlock Holmes much handsomer than he wanted. Nonetheless, the story of the terrifying devil dog became embedded in the public consciousness, where it has remained ever since. Drawing on age-old fears of darkness, lonely places and wild beasts, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" is probably Conan Doyle's most famous story.
"The Call of the Wild" is the story of the dog Buck, the offspring of a St. Bernard and a shepherd dog who, just like the author, travels from California to follow the Yukon River Trail. Like London, Buck nearly dies in the Northland, but through courage, skill and physical strength he overcomes many setbacks and ends the story triumphant. The story's authenticity resonated with reading public and, after years of failure as a writer, London found critical acclaim, although his financial acumen did not match his literary success. In a pattern that was to recur throughout his career, London sold his work short, charging $750 for serialization in the Saturday Evening Post and $2000 for book rights.
Mark Twain's "A Dog's Tale" was written in 1903 by Twain in support of his daughter Jean's condemnation of vivisection. It is a somber tale of the "rewards" for a dog's loyalty to human beings. The dog Aileen lives with the wealthy Gray family, and is happy there until the day Mr. Gray sees her dragging their baby across the hallway, not realizing the dog has just rescued the child from a fire. He beats Aileen, breaking her leg. However, when her heroism is discovered she is treated better than ever, and her happiness seems complete with the birth of a puppy. This idyllic state is not to last: Mr Gray is a scientist and experiments on the puppy, who dies in great pain. The story ends with Aileen keeping vigil at her puppy's grave, the implication clear that she will die of a broken heart. "A Dog's Tale" first appeared in Harper's Magazine in 1903, and in book format in 1904 published by Harper and Row, illustrated by W.G.Smedley. Although the critics said that the story was overly sentimental, it was popular with the reading public, and it remains an interesting example of a work told in the dog's own voice.
The many films, comics, television and radio series about this rough-haired collie all began with one book: "Lassie Come Home," published in 1938. The story recounts Lassie's separation from an impoverished English family, and describes how Lassie, against all odds, finds her way back to them. Stories of dogs that traveled great distances to be reunited with their owners are not new, but the one which was almost certainly the precedent for "Lassie Come Home" took place in 1924. Bobbie, a three-year-old collie, became separated from his owners while they were on holiday in Indiana. He embarked on a 3000-mile trek back to Oregon, taking six months and travelling through the depths of winter. The story made headlines across America, and it is likely that this story was known to Eric Knight, an English journalist who owned a rough-haired collie and worked in Pennsylvania. He had already written two novels when in late 1938, "Lassie Come Home" was published as a novella in the Saturday Evening Post. Within a year, Knight had extended the story into a full-length novel, and from this point the book became a bestseller.
On December 16, 1954, Dodie Smith wrote in her diary that she had read a book by Enid Blyton for the first time, and immediately decided that she too would write a book for children. That night she sat and worked until 3 AM to create a story, based on the Dalmatian dogs that she had kept for over 20 years, and it was the memory of the first litter of 15 puppies that she drew upon to plot the story of the "101 Dalmatians." The idea of the villainess, Cruella de Vil came from the remark of an actress friend who saw Dodie's first Dalmation puppy, Pongo, and declared that "he would make a nice fur coat." The image stuck in Dodie's mind, inspiring a plot in which an evil woman would steal Dalmatian puppies in order to start a puppy farm. Pongo was cast as a canine Sherlock Holmes, on a mission to locate the stolen puppies and return them home to their owners. "101 Dalmatians" was published on November 19, 1956, priced at ten shillings and sixpence. It was a popular and critical success: The Times Literary Supplement commended it as "a doggy tale that will please a great many children, so light it is, so easy to read with not one slow word in its expert telling." The author and critic John Rowe Townsend observed that, "If dogs could read they would be unable to put it down."
The first appearance of "Blue Dog" was in a book of ghost stories entitled "Bayou," in 1984. Local artist George Rodrigue had been approached to provide 40 paintings to illustrate the stories, inspired by Louisiana myths and culture. Rather than follow the specific details of each story, he drew on their themes and titles to create the paintings, the most famous of which is the illustration for "Slaughter House." This tale of a ghost dog who guarded a house is taken from a Cajun myth of the Loup Garou - a strange dog (or wolf) who haunted cemeteries and sugar cane fields and whose name was invoked by mothers as a threat to naughty children. The shape and stance of the "Blue Dog" figure was inspired by Rodrigue's own terrier-spaniel, Tiffany, who had died a few years earlier. The idea of a blue dog was intriguing to many, and Rodrigue began to create more paintings featuring the colourful canine, although he remembers that plenty of people told him he was crazy, and it would ruin his career. 10 books and dozens of paintings later it is clear they couldn't have been more wrong, and "Blue Dog" is established as one of the greatest pop art icons in America.

November 27. The Day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. It wasn't long ago that Black Friday stood unchallenged and unflappable as the make-or-break epicenter of the annual retail calendar. Then this thing called the Internet made getting great deals 24/7 a lot easier than waking up at three in the morning and standing in the dark and cold with a horde of frantic shoppers still digesting their pumpkin pie.

Exploitation press material found in copyright records credits Harry Fischbeck as photographer and Harold Lewis as sound editor. The character of crooked lawyer "Tyler Craden" also appears in the 1939 Paramount picture Disbarred, played by Otto Kruger. J. Edgar Hoover's book also served as the source for the Paramount films Undercover Doctor and Queen of the Mob (see below).
