It was one of a series of data-gathering efforts undertaken during the 1970s to assist policymakers in assessing and overcoming deficiencies in the nation's correctional institutions. This particular survey was conducted in response to a mandate set forth in the Crime Control Act of 1976. Data were gathered via self-enumerated questionnaires that were mailed to the administrators of all 558 federal and state prisons and all 405 community-based prerelease facilities in existence in the United States in 1979. Part 1 contains the results of the survey of state and federal adult correctional systems, and Part 2 contains the results of the survey of community-based prerelease facilities. The two files contain similar variables designed to tap certain key aspects of confinement: (1) inmate (or resident) counts by sex and by security class, (2) age of facility and rated capacity, (3) spatial density, occupancy, and hours confined for each inmate's (or resident's) confinement quarters, (4) composition of inmate (or resident) population according to race, age, and offense type, (5) inmate (or resident) labor and earnings, (6) race, age, and sex characteristics of prison (or half-way house) staff, and (7) court orders by type of order and pending litigation. Other data (contained in both files) include case ID number, state ID number, name of facility, and operator of facility (e.g., federal, state, local, or private).

Repositioning! by ThomChen114Watch
©2012-2016 ThomChen114
An OGA team, callsign Scarab, is sent to investigate a suspected insurgent stronghold in a bad part of town when they are ambushed in the streets close to the objective. Rather than retreat or wait for reinforcements, they decide to flank around and deal with the attackers and reach the objective as quickly as possible before the insurgents escape.
You mean "ODA." Which stands for Operational Detachment- Alpha or A-team for short. Nice artwork man btw your gallery is awesome!
no i mean OGA, aka Other Government Agency, just one of the names SAD (Special Activities Division) uses to confuse others and themselves
OGA, thats green berets, U.S. Army SF.
Hey the that guy in the center looks like me XD!
Wow!! I like your drawings!! This drawing is awesome!! The soldier's position is very real, and has many details!!
my adrenaline is pumping just looking at this!
i kinda hear thrilling music in the background now. hahaha
Stay frosty
I like the guy in cover by the car!
Very nice work man, The details are good and the feel is great, hectic and chaotic. I like the depth you were able to create in this as well.
Holy shit this is awesome. More like this. It's...fuck, there isn't anything I don't like about this piece. The hats, the way that guy leans around the corner, the guy in the back taking cover behind the sedan, the perspective...god, I love this.
thank you very much! i wasn't fully satisfied with this, wished i'd added more stuff, but decided not to since i didn't want to end up making it crammed, adding too much little details to the background or the settings.
Man. Now that I look at it, baseball caps look really unprofessional.
Then again, I suppose that is the point.

The man cannot be stopped. His movies are never screened in advance for the press, and they usually end up winning the weekend box office battle. His latest, I Can Do Bad All by Myself, opens today at Pacific Place and other theaters. Here's Melissa Anderson's review:
If you are the director, producer, writer (adapting your own stage play), and co-star of a film, you really show how bad you can do all by yourself. Usually thrilling in their lunacy, most Tyler Perry movies can at least keep up their momentum through the combination of an overstuffed plot and the presence of Madea, the big-boned granny who will rip out your urethra tube if you sass her. Perry's latest--about a boozy nightclub singer, April (Taraji P. Henson), begrudgingly sheltering her niece and nephews--has so many dead moments that singing spots by Gladys Knight, Pastor Marvin Winans, and Mary J. Blige simply highlight, rather than alleviate, the inertia.Madea, tonic in February's Madea Goes to Jail, appears on-screen for only about 15 minutes, at least sharing an inspired bit about Siegfried and Roy on Noah's "arch." If the Atlanta impresario is just bored with cranking out two adaptations a year of his earlier stage work, the audience is getting restless, too: I counted at least three walkouts at the 11 a.m. show I attended. Though Perry may have stuck with his chitlin-circuit material for too long, I still can't wait to see what he does with the choreopoem in an upcoming project--directing Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.

As the P.I. reports, Circ will take the most direct hit. But as this recently-obtained internal staff memo spells out, whatever staffing shortages exist now are sure to exist in perpetuity. And that's likely the best-case scenario (Brian Miller will have more on the Times' struggles in tomorrow's dead tree edition, also available online). Per our source, here's the memo:
"Breaking news: The Times is announcing layoffs today, with some timed for Feb. 17 and July 1. First, the good news. There will be no layoffs in News, at least for now. Instead, the Times is going to let attrition continue to whittle away at the size of the staff. As for content and other changes, no official word as of yet, said Chris Biencourt, vice-president of Labor Relations.
There is a staff-wide News meeting today at 4 p.m., so content changes may be announced then. The layoffs in the Guild will come from Circulation, especially Home Delivery: Two District Advisors (one position is already unfilled), seven Assistant District Advisors, and two Home Delivery Managers will be eliminated as of July 1. One Clerk and three Zone Clerks will be laid off Feb. 17. All the Field Assistants will be reduced to 19 hours per week, which will make them ineligible for medical insurance.
No reductions in Advertising or Composing. However, Biencourt said, company wide about 86 positions are either going to remain unfilled or not be filled if employees leave them. There will be some layoffs among employees represented by Teamsters Local 763. These 86 positions do not include about 80 Transportation employees who have been told their jobs will be outsourced."

Nice Hits! is a Reverb column that unironically dissects, reviews, and appreciates the best songs of the current Top 40. It is unsnobbishly premised on the logic that just because a lot of the music on the radio is crap doesn't mean all the music on the radio is crap.
The hit: "Call My Name," Cheryl Cole, off A Million Lights.
Current chart position: #5 on the UK Singles Chart, uncharted in the US--so far. I've called out a couple of songs by British pop singers that hadn't made much of a splash at the time of my writing and are now bona fide hits--Ellie Goulding's "Lights" is currently #7 on iTunes, and Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" is right behind at #12--and I'm hoping the same will be true of "Call My Name."
The team: "Call My Name" was written and produced by Calvin Harris, the Scottish DJ and songwriter who's found huge amounts of US mainstream success in the past year with his number one smash collaboration with Rihanna, "We Found Love," and, more recently his own singles "Feel So Close" and "Let's Go," featuring Ne-Yo. Later this month, Harris will be releasing another single from his eponymous third album, "We'll Be Coming Back," which features the UK rapper Example.
Breakdown: "Call My Name" is unsurprisingly getting a lot of comparisons to "We Found Love," and some similarities are definitely there--the stiff, glassy beats; the rushing tempo; the way the verses take a backseat to the hooky, repetitive chorus. But there are also enough differences in "Call My Name" to earn it some separate attention and acclaim apart from "We Found Love." The tones of the two songs are almost opposite: "Call My Name" is certainly the more aggressive track of the two, that much is obvious by the strange, ominous-sounding minute-long instrumental opening. "We Found Love" is a sweet love song; "Call My Name" rings with frustration and almost bitterness. Cole compares her love to "an endless circle of poison arrow to my heart," and the stomping chorus asks, "How'd you think I feel when you call my name?/You got me confused by the way I change." It may also be a love song, but of an entirely different nature--the lyrics are demanding and insistent in a way that matches the whirlwind tempo.
All pop fans love a game-changing song in their favorite artists' career, and "Call My Name" represents a big departure for Cole. At 29, she's already had a full career as a member of the wildly successful girl group Girls Aloud, then a solo artist, a fashion icon, and an X-Factor judge. She went through a much-publicized divorce from a cheating husband. "Call My Name" sounds nothing like Cole's more sugary solo hits "Promise This" and "Fight For This Love." The contentious attitude of the song is like a signal from Cole that she's still in the game. And its accompanying video is one of the best dance clips I've seen in a while. The sexy, fierce image she puts off in the video coupled with the clamorous, steel-edged song sounds like a victory cry for Cole.

Sharon's CT brain scan shows blood has been absorbed
Sharon 'critical but stable'; will undergo routine brain CT; surgeons to decide on when to end sedatives.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's brain scan Thursday evening showed positive results, indicating that the remnants of the blood in his brain from a massive stroke last week have been absorbed, hospital officials said in a statement.
In response, doctors had removed a tube they had inserted into Sharon's skull to relieve pressure on his brain, the statement from Hadassah Hospital said.
"The Prime Minister's heart rate is regular and body temperature is normal," said a statement from Hadassah hospital, where Sharon is in what doctors described as critical but stable condition after suffering a massive stroke last week.
The hospital added that doctors placed a permanent intravenous drip in his arm. It described the surgical procedure as a success.
It said Sharon was being taken back to the neurological intensive care unit after the completion of the procedure.
A member of Sharon's medical team said that the information about the brain disease diagnosed after his first stroke on December 18 had been concealed out of "political reasons," Channel 10 television reported Wednesday.
The controversy surrounding Sharon's medical treatment has continued unabated, with his doctors coming under further criticism for concealing the diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
Senior executives at Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem, where Sharon was first treated in December and again since last Wednesday when he had the second, far more severe stroke, admitted this week that the hospital's doctors had decided to give the pime minister blood thinners despite the diagnosis of CAA.
The physicians had promised "full disclosure of [Sharon's] condition in the wake of his hospitalization" in December.
The doctor said there was the fear that if made public, the information would be used against Sharon and his Kadima party, particularly in light of the fact that CAA has often been associated in medical literature with Alzheimer's Disease.
Sharon was in critical but stable condition Thursday morning, a statement from Hadassah said.
"The prime minister's condition remains critical but stable," said the statement. "His heart rhythm is regular. In the evening he will undergo a routine CT scan."
Surgeons tending to Sharon were expected to decide on when to stop the intravenous drip completely at a daily consultation scheduled for 7 A.M., medical sources said Thursday.
"The prime minister's treatment is constantly being reviewed, but the decision to end sedation outright requires a major deliberation," said a source.
As published in Haaretz previously, senior physicians say anticoagulants such as the Clexane given to Sharon significantly increase the risk of stroke in people with CAA.
Sharon's physicians, Prof. Boleslav Goldman and Dr. Shlomo Segev, as well as Hadassah officials, did not comment Wednesday.
The condition of Sharon, who has been hospitalized since last Wednesday night with his second stroke in less than a month, did not change significantly Wednesday. Sharon is still in serious but stable condition and his life is still in danger.
Doctors at Hadassah University Hospital were lowering Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's sedation to a "minimal" level Wednesday night, in a further effort to awaken him gradually from the coma in which he has lain since his massive stroke and brain hemorrhage seven days ago.
The hospital has been gradually reducing Sharon's sedation since Monday.
According to officials from Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem, "An additional slight improvement" in his condition was recorded. A hospital official told Haaretz on Wednesday that once again, Sharon's movements in response to pain stimuli were "greater." Also, Sharon's blood pressure was found to rise when his son spoke to him, one of his attending physicians, Dr. Felix Umanski, said late on Wednesday.
Dr. Yair Birenbaum, a senior Hadassah official, told Razi Barkai of Army Radio Wednesday that the decision by Hadassah physicians to give Sharon anticlotting drugs despite the vascular disease was not, "in my humble opinion, an error in judgment. The consultation about the prime minister was attended by a range of doctors with various specialties," and that Sharon's vascular disease was "one more variable that had to be calculated within a range of variables."
Dr. Birenbaum also noted that the physicians at Hadassah considered the variety of blood-thinning drugs available and "considered various options and decided what was decided by a general consensus of the caregivers."
In response to the call, which appeared in Haaretz Wednesday, by a doctor who is a department head at a major Israeli hospital, for a state commission of inquiry into Sharon's treatment, Birenbaum said there is no need for that. However, he added that "there is plenty of time for examination committees and snoopers" and promised that if an investigative body is established "everything will be laid out" before it.
A senior neurologist at a government hospital in the center of the country told Haaretz Wednesday that "it is known the treatments in modern medicine are always involved in an attempt to find a balance between risks and rewards, but in this case it is really impossible to understand the doctors' decision regarding the use of blood thinners.
"According to the medical literature, after the first stroke it seems as if the need to use anticoagulants was not very great, after the small hole in the heart was discovered. Therefore, the question becomes even more pressing."

This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: lots of space for the $
Cons: The first one worked fairly consistently for 6 months or so, before it started going unexpectedly unavailable. (Disk not spinning, unit unresponsive.) Their chatroom tech-support guy arranged a replacement - a refurbished one functionally identical. I've had it for maybe 2 months and it's dying just like the first.
Other Thoughts: Looks like it's no longer available - a favor to would-be customers, IMO. (We use Lenovo 2-disk Raid1 boxes at the office, that have proven more reliable for backup drives.)

Good NAS
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Good little NAS for your movies, pics, documents. Easy GUI setup feature. Small, doesn't draw much electric. Now they are owned by Lenovo they seem to be a good backer. Had no issues with a warranty claim, went easier than I could had imagined.
Cons: Seem to be a lot of firm ware updates through the last year for vulnerabilities.

Useful backup drive
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Setup was a breeze. Like a corporate drive configuration. Maps drives automatically using software and is simple to use. Backups are decently fast, and the size of this drive is enough to not worry about what to backup.
Cons: Drive is hot and loud when in use. It sits in my kitchen, and seems to be always on. I only use it to backup, so when it's not in use I turn it off to keep the noise down.
Other Thoughts: I would purchase this drive again. With what others have said about the drive failing it would make me nervous to use as a storage drive, however for backups this drive is great.

Fastest for archiving and streaming.
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: I don't know why the others failed. After reading the reviews I decided to take the plunge, because it's processor is the fastest (for streaming to WD TV). And I have no other intention other than to just keep all my movies in one location and stream to TV when I want.
Cons: None so far.

So far SO GOOD
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Plugged in the power and network cords and it started working. Every device I have used to access it worked without issue. I am using windows backup to backup my machines haven't even looked at any of the Iomega software which is superfluous IMO. The device out of the box feels well constructed and while the front and back have plastic the main body is metal. For the price of USB drive this thing provides way more functionality.
Cons: I received a DOA unit. It took a little over a week to get the replacement. Make sure to carefully follow the exchange process and turn around is fairly quick. The out of the box setup leaves your nas with read/write access to everyone. not really a con as long as you realize it. makes it very easy to use from Android smart phones / tablets.
Other Thoughts: All hard drives fail. If you keep any of your valuable data on one device you will eventually lose it. For the short time I have had this device I have had no issues.

Total waste of money
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Would be a good NAS if the device works.
Cons: It died less than two months. Waited more than 1 month just to get one out of the two parts they promised to send to me to test the power supply. Not to mention, I called them twice to follow up on the shippment and both times they said something was wrong with the info in the system so the parts never got shipped out. Now they said that they will send me the other parts to test the power supply and they will not replace the device untill the power supply has been tested. So I am still stuck with a useless device. If whatever they are sending me is still not working, I have to wait again for them to replace the unit. So my experience so far, is WAIT, WAIT, and WAIT!!!
Other Thoughts: I would not recommend this product.

JUNK. Spend more for a good NAS
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Power supply worked out of box. LAN cable was ok. Lights work and devce saves data on the rare times it is actually working.
Cons: Slow. Drops of LAN frequently and nothing wakes it up other then a power cycle.
Other Thoughts: This device is FAIL. Shame on me for not returning it in a timely manner. Now I think I am stuck with a glorified paperweight. Buyer Beware!!!

Plastic Brick
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: None, perhaps good intentions?
Cons: I have owned 5 of these (2 TB version) through out the course of a 4 month period. (Purchased from a competitor) ALL FIVE BRICKED within 2 months of time. 3 broke within the 1st week. Newegg is the only site I have found that has even remotely decent reviews, please research this device elsewhere and see for yourself.
Other Thoughts: You have been warned...
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: iomega 35544 3TB EZ Media & Backup Center
Pros: Truly plug-n- play, plugged in the power cord, plugged in the LAN cable, up & running, even without downloading the manager software
Cons: Would like a more definitive way of shutting it off, rather than pulling the LAN cable to suspend it before powering off - if it's running 24/7, this is a non-issue.

Closing Arguments
The case against Kagan is a case against these hearings.
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee had the opportunity to offer closing arguments against Elena Kagan this morning. They had, as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., put it, "a hundred reasons" to vote no—at least from an ideological standpoint. Over the last few days, the rhetorical storm clouds gathering over Kagan have ranged from the Washington Times'utter certainty that she has plans to impose Sharia law from the bench (and they have the illustration of Kagan in a spooky turban to prove it!) to the overheated claims that she"manipulated medical findings" to support "partial-birth abortion." The NRA wants you to believe she wants to wrench your gun from your cold, dead hands. And constitutional junkies of every stripe had been led to believe that today's vote would be a high-minded referendum on Kagan, the Commerce Clause, and the future of health care reform. Given all these reasons to vote no, the case presented against Kagan today was awfully tepid and awfully familiar.
Senate Republicans offered up virtually nothing about Sharia-Kagan, or Partial Birth Abortion Kagan, or Commerce Clause Kagan this morning, retreating instead to the charges they first leveled in their opening statements three weeks ago: Kagan is a politician not a judge, Kagan is a liberal, and Kagan hates the military.
Kagan is not, said ranking Republican Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a "lawyer's lawyer"; instead, she chose "involvement in politics." Her entire testimony, he claimed, was "political spin." But while both Sessions and John Kyl, R-Ariz., expended a lot of energy disputing Kagan's lawyerly abilities, they each devoted the bulk of their comments to refuting what Kyl would describe as her "clever lawyering" as solicitor general.
Not quite gone from today's proceedings were the full-frontal attacks on Thurgood Marshall. Both Kyl and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, saw fit to take one last whack at that piñata. (Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, merely objected vaguely to her admiration for "certain judges.")
There was some more yipping about Kagan's treatment of military recruiters at Harvard that deflated very quickly when Lindsey Graham, the committee's undisputed military authority, observed that "at the end of the day," military recruitment actually increased at Harvard, despite her policy. He added: "If I believed she had animosity in her heart about those who wear the uniform I would easily vote no. I don't believe that." Graham added that it was clear she was a loyal American who revered the military as much as anyone does and that the Solomon Amendment scuffle while she was dean of the law school "says more about Harvard than it says about the military."
Graham, only fueling the wrath of the right, went on to explain that nobody worked harder to defeat Obama than he did—with the possible exception of John McCain—"but we lost, President Obama won. The Constitution in my view puts a requirement on me not to replace my judgment for his." Reprising a line he used last year at the Sonia Sotomayor vote and again in his opening statements, Graham explained that "elections have consequences." Then he made it plain that the Senate needs to separate their political responsibilities to their constituents from their duty to the constitution. He said that, like his colleagues, he must balance the consequences of Obama's election in 2008 against the consequences for his own re-election campaign: "How do you stay within keeping your job and honoring the fact that the people have spoken?" he asked. "How do you balance a past election and your own election coming up?" (A Graham consultant told the Post this afternoon that the senator needn't worry about 2014: "He's a thinking person's conservative. I expect him to do well among voters with IQ's in triple digits.")

You can already go to Lecosho for porchetta with white beans and baby turnips. You can get house-brined pork chops, grilled mackerel with olives and bitter greens, a tartine with grilled sardines, Aquavit-cured pork belly rilette (which is making me hungry just writing the words) and all manner of house-made charcuterie courtesy of chef Mike Easton (most recently ex of 315 Restaurant in Santa Fe, NM), sous chef Meredith Molli (from La Boucherie on Vashon Island) and the crew. Dinner service? They've got that pretty well in hand after just a week on their feet.
But now comes the announcement that owner Matt Janke (of Matt's in the Market) is already tacking on a lunch service to his new joint overlooking Harbor Steps.Staring Monday, October 11 (yeah, that's next Monday), Lecosho will begin serving lunch daily from 11am-3pm. And the midday board is shaping up to be just as impressive as the dinner menu. We're talking poached tuna salad with bleu cheese, olives, capers and potatoes, a jumped-up BLT with bacon, lettuce, roasted tomatoes and bacon aioli on potato bread, and a pulled turkey mole served warm on a seeded brioche bun with crispy slaw and spicy aioli.
Obviously, pork is a big thing at Lecosho (the name is Chinook for pig). Janke and his team make their own bacon, their own sausage, their own charcuterie. They recycle their scraps to feed the pigs that they keep on Vashon Island. But really, the ever-changing menus are more about "Food we like," (meaning the foods that Janke, Easton and partner Jill Buchanan like) which also happens to be the motto of the restaurant. Thankfully, it seems that the things they like also happen to be the things that I like, so I can't wait to check the place out--either for lunch or for dinner.

Brighter Collective Moves To Exciting New Location In Playa Vista
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Brighter Collective, a Los Angeles-based adaptive agency, announced the opening of its new office on the Hercules Campus in Playa Vista. Brighter took possession of Building Three, a 15,000 square-foot space that was the former site of Howard Hughes' helicopter hangar and home to the cockpit of the legendary Spruce Goose.The office is located on the 450,000-square-foot Hercules Campus, a hotbed of creative and tech activity that is also home to YouTube, Fox Studios and Belkin, among others. Brighter was the first tenant to sign on to occupy space on the campus, which was envisioned by award-winning Los Angeles-based developers The Ratkovich Company. Brighter's decision to relocate its offices from Irvine was deliberate. "With a university-like feel, the campus is the ultimate fit for us. Being surrounded by other companies that embrace a creative, entrepreneurial spirit was important to us in our decision to move here," said Dr. Blaine Behringer, Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer. The new space was also chosen because it aligned with the company's rebranding initiative. Brighter was formerly Earthbound Media Group, but a growing portfolio of clients and disciplines led the 13-year-old company to rebrand. "We saw [the rebrand] as the next logical step in the process of redefining how we grow our business and how we work alongside clients," said Behringer. Brighter's leadership team and staff worked closely to refine the agency's brand identity so that it was a more accurate representation of the company today. "We chose the name Brighter because we believe that we use our ingenuity, positive attitude and intellect to make our clients' lives brighter," said Damien Navarro, Managing Partner and Chief Visionary Officer. "The word encapsulates our dedication to continuous improvement together and captures the vibrant personality of the agency's talent." Similarly, the Brighter team worked closely with HLW – the interior design firm known for working with Google, YouTube and Red Bull – to make the space reflect the agency's unique culture and to ensure that the new space inspired creativity and promoted integration. Whiteboard walls, a meditation room and open meeting spaces bring the company's culture and character to life – but they also foster a spirit of collaboration for clients.

So the NFL has their boxers in a twist over air in footballs? Isn't that cute. In NASCAR, creativity with the rule book has been a part of the game since it's inception.

Travelers President Of Personal Insurance Greg Toczydlowski Participates In Gulf Coast Insurance Roundtable
TRV), participated today on behalf of The Travelers Institute in a roundtable discussion in Gulfport, Miss., hosted by U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.). The session convened insurance industry experts, business scholars and elected officials at Gulf Coast Community College to explore long-term solutions to rising insurance costs and barriers to certain kinds of coverage on the Gulf Coast. Toczydlowski presented the Travelers Coastal Wind Zone Plan, a comprehensive, private market approach to improve the affordability and availability of coastal wind storm insurance for homeowners. The Travelers proposal includes four key principles:"At Travelers, we recognize that a viable coastal insurance market is important to Mississippi's economy, and as an industry leader, we feel a genuine responsibility to be engaged in finding a solution to this issue," said Toczydlowski. "We believe that the Travelers Coastal Plan will help bring back private capital to the marketplace, alleviate the current stress on the residual markets and promote the availability and affordability of homeowners insurance within coastal communities." Other participants in the roundtable discussion included Professors Howard Kunrether and Erwann Michel-Kerjan from the Risk Management and Decision Process Center at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, U.S. Representative Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), and Dr. Lloyd Dixon, an economist with the RAND Corporation. "We feel that participating in this type of public dialogue is very important," said Joan Woodward, Travelers Executive Vice President of Public Policy and head of The Travelers Institute. "The goal of The Travelers Institute is to be a partner with policymakers to contribute to solutions on a wide range of issues that face our customers, our agents and brokers, and the communities we serve. The only way to come up with a coastal insurance program that works is to engage all stakeholders."

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Frequently Asked Questions
How much carbon dioxide is produced by burning gasoline and diesel fuel?
About 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline that does not contain ethanol. About 22.38 pounds of CO2 are produced by burning a gallon of diesel fuel.
EIA estimates1 that U.S. motor gasoline and diesel fuel consumption for transportation in 2014 resulted in the emission of about 1,075 million metric tons and 444 million metric tons of CO2, respectively, for a total of 1,519 million metric tons of CO2. This total was equivalent to 83% of total CO2 emissions by the U.S. transportation sector and equivalent to 28% of total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions in 2014.
Under international agreement, CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass or biofuels are not included in national greenhouse gas emissions inventories.2 Most of the retail gasoline now sold in the United States contains about 10% fuel ethanol (or E10) by volume. Burning a gallon of E10 produces about 17.68 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the CO2 emissions from ethanol combustion are considered, then about 18.95 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of E10 is combusted. About 12.73 pounds of CO2 are produced when a gallon of pure ethanol is combusted.
It is possible to buy biodiesel fuel in many states. Biodiesel fuel is sold with various amounts of biodiesel content. A commonly sold biodiesel fuel is B20, which contains 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel fuel. Burning a gallon of B20 results in the emission of about 17.90 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content. If the emissions from burning the biodiesel in B20 are included, then about 22.06 pounds of CO2 are produced. About 20.77 pounds of CO2 are produced from burning a gallon of B100 (100% biodiesel).
1 As of June 25, 2015; preliminary estimates.

Republic of Montenegro Favorite Tips by karenincalifornia Top 5 Page for this destination
Republic of Montenegro Favorites: 33 reviews and 36 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
Cathedral of St. Tryphon, Kotor, 1986
Favorite thing: The original Cathedral of St. Tryphon was built in the 8th century in the town of Kotor. The church in this picture was built in 1166 on the remains of the former cathedral. It was seriously damaged in the 1979 earthquake. Twenty-five years later, in 2004, restoration has made substantial progress.
Herceg Novi town center
Favorite thing: Herceg Novi is located on the northern coast of Montenegro at the opening of the Bay of Kotor. The town's richness is a result of being a blend of many cultures. Established in 1382, Herceg Novi has since been ruled by the Turks, Spain, Venice, Austro-Hungary, Russia, France and Kingdom of Yugoslavia. After World War II Montenegro was included in former Yugoslavia. Today Herceg Novi is located within Serbia and Montenegro.
Fondest memory: Eating delicious seafood, usually grilled fish Adriatic-style, under the stars at night, sitting on the shore of the Adriatic
Sharing a bottle of Krstac wine from Montenegro
Mt. Lovcen, Montenegro
Favorite thing: The mountains near Cetinje are very rocky indeed. In fact, I have never seen so many rocks as I did in the countryside around Cetinje.
The Turks never conquered Montenegro. The story we hear in America from our Serbian relatives and friends goes something like this. The Turks failed to conquer Montenegro because the Montenegrins used a very effective method of defense. If the Turks tried to attack Montenegro from the coast, the Montenegrins simply rolled boulders down the side of the mountain to prevent the Turks from getting any further. Montenegro had a endless supply of boulders, so the country never ran out of ammunition.
Mount Lovcen is the mountain peak in this picture. If you look closely, you can make out Njegos' tomb near the top.
Boka Kotorska, Montenegro
Favorite thing: A large population of Serbs from Bay of Kotor emigrated to my home, the San Francisco Bay area. It is easy to see why. When we reached Boka Kotorska (Bay of Kotor), we definitely noted some similarities and understood why people from Boka Kotorska felt at home in the San Francisco Bay area.
Cetinje, Montenegro
Favorite thing: I'm not sure which building this is, but it is another fine example of the beautiful architecture of Cetinje.
Cetinje, Montenegro
Favorite thing: The buildings in Cetinje are evidence of the past wealth of the area.
Cetinje, Montenegro
Favorite thing: Between 1878 and 1914, Cetinje flourished. It became a center for South-Slavic intellectuals. As the capital of Montenegro, it was the home of numerous consulates and palaces. The city began its decline about the time World War I began.
Catholic Church on Bay of Kotor
Favorite thing: Although Montenegro is predominantly Serbian Orthodox, the Bay of Kotor has a mix of faiths. Because of the proximity to the Dalamtian coast, Bay of Kotor is also home to a fair number of Croats.
Pictured here is a Catholic church sitting near the shores of the Bay. It looked old and very untended to us.

The American Theatre As Seen by Its Critics: A Historical Survey: From the Devil's Den to the Nation's Temple
Remarkably, the Southern colonies never enacted laws to prohibit the building of a theatre or the public performance of a drama; drama in colonial New England on the other hand was a major target of Puritan prejudices. In New England, the drama, just as the novel, was considered dangerously nonconformist because it constructed a world of the imagination, which, for many members of the community, was more attractive than the world of God's creation. In addition, any form of entertainment was considered a waste of time that should be much better employed in religious investigations. However, since the drama, in contrast to the privacy of novel-reading, is dependent on public performances and as such on the institution of the theatre, it was soon made an object of controversies in New England courts and local parliaments: the issue was not only, as it was with the novel, whether it should be tolerated, but whether theatrical entertainment and the establishment of a theatre building should be legalized.
Because of the public context of the theatre it received much more attention than the novel. Church annals and records of colonial courts document that drama and theatre had become issues of public concern as early as 1665, when the actors who had presented Ye Bare and Ye Cubb were summoned before the court of Accomac County, Virginia. However, true to Southern tolerance for entertainment and belles lettres, the justices acquitted the actors.1 In Calvinist New England the profession met with much lea sympathy, and as soon as magazines started to be published there in the eighteenth century, they were immediately pushed to the forefront of the public war of words. However, irrespective of their attitude, almost all the arguments for the condemnation or toleration of theatrical performances used moral criteria.
The enemies warned against the "Lewdness or Impiety of most of the Plays" and commented on the "infamous Characters of the Actors and Actresses" [1]. If they had to concede that a few plays were acceptable, they were quick to

Several area junior high seventh-grade girls basketball teams recently competed in regional tournaments.
Second-seeded Vandalia defeated No. 6 Brownstown, 34-16, on Monday in the second round of the No. 13 Class 7-3A Regional Tournament at Greenville.
The Vandals faced Central A&M for the regional title on Tuesday, but that game was not completed at press time.
The results for that game will be posted on The Leader-Union's website at www.leaderunion.com on Wednesday.
As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday, there's no better time to count our blessings.
Many things come to mind: family, friends, freedoms. And if we're willing to be honest, most of us are blessed with material things as well. This year, in particular, we may not feel rich, but by the world's standards, we are a wealthy nation. Our needs are minimal and our comforts are many.

Twenty residents showed up on Monday evening to hear about the city of Vandalia's plan to consider raising three rates on its new tax levy, and more than a quarter of them voiced opposition to the plan.
The city's auditor, Timmermann and Co. Ltd., told city officials earlier this month that it could consider raising the corporate, fire protection and police protection rates to the maximum allowable by law as part of its effort to address a budget shortfall of about $250,000.
A rural Farina teen charged with murdering a Loogootee couple in their home in August has been ruled mentally fit to stand trial.

In performing the psychiatric evaluation, Krug conducted interviews and reviewed police reports as well as Baker's school and medical records
The Vandalia High School wrestling team will open its season with two home matches this week.
The first, a freshmen/sophomore quadrangular, is on Monday at 6 p.m., and that will be followed by a varsity match against Belleville West on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Coach Jason Clay said the team might start slow this season as he slowly adjusts several freshmen and sophomores to high school wrestling, but he said the team should have no problems winning its 17th straight regional championship and sending several individuals to the state tournament.
RAMSEY – The Ramsey Junior High seventh-grade boys basketball team came within one shot of winning its own seventh-grade tournament.
The Rams fought back from a 22-16 deficit to pull within one point of Sorento during the championship game on Saturday, but after Sorento took a 24-21 lead, Brady Black had a bad bounce on a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that would have tied the game and forced overtime.
A little more than three years after a Vandalia restaurant and lounge was gutted by fire, and just eight months after new owners reopened the business, it was destroyed by an early-morning blaze.
Investigators are continuing to look into the fire early last Thursday morning that burned out The Depot Steakhouse and Lounge, located in the structure in the 100 block of South Sixth St. that formerly served as the town's railroad depot.
The McKendree University Bearcats were 1-2 with Eric Hobbie.
Now, the Bearcats will have to figure out how to win without him. At least they have for the last few games since Hobbie took a knee to the thigh in practice. The Bearcats have two more games this weekend, and according to McKendree coach Harry Statham, Hobbie is not likely to dress for those games.
RAMSEY – The Patoka High School boys basketball team erased deficits of seven points three times but was unable to hold the lead it took on the first shot of the fourth quarter during a 50-42 loss to Christ Our Rock Lutheran in the Ramsey Thanksgiving Tournament.
Senior Cody Allen forced a tie with a few seconds left in the third quarter after converting a 3-point play when he was fouled on a layup.
Allen then grabbed a defensive rebound to open the fourth quarter and converted another 3-point play at the other end of the court.

France's burqa ban is Britain's gain (Lead)July 27th, 2011 - 5:26 pm ICT by IANS
London, July 27 (IANS) The burqa ban in France has sent wealthy shoppers from the Middle East flocking to London.
London store Liberty has notched up a 45 percent increase of international visitors while Selfridges has seen a rise of 40 percent, the Daily Express reported.
Popular toy store Hamleys has also seen a "significant increase" in customers.
The number of shoppers is expected to rise as a whole by 15 percent after French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the burqa was "not welcome" in France. Anyone wearing it there now risks a 150 euro fine.
Jace Tyrell, of promoters New West End Company, said Middle East shoppers from places such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia were critical to London's retailers.
"London is seen as welcoming, friendly and accommodating," he said.
Neil Cook, of Qatar-based Gulf Times, said the Arab uprisings were also prompting a rise in foreign tourists to Britain.
"There is some kind of backlash against the burqa ban. People are more comfortable with London. Also, many who would go to Beirut, Syria and other north African destinations are not choosing to travel there at the moment," he said.

Welcome to the LA Beach Volleyball (LABV) Meetup - now in our 8th year! We play every Saturday (year-round). Our secret (Marina Del Rey-ish) location has free parking, many nets, good music, and nice bathrooms close by. We get approximately 60 to 100 people on any given weekend, so you can play volleyball at skill levels ranging from beginner 4s to advanced 2s. Unlike other groups- we absolutely do not discriminate! All skill levels are welcome! We are often described as a "HUGE beach party" - and I think that's pretty accurate!
See the "Pages" link to get answers to anything not covered below:
Free to join between now and May 15, 2016.
** BEGINNING May 15, 2016 we will change to an Annual fee of $12 for ALL MEMBERS to be in this group**
We will refund your $12 at the beach if you decide not to continue on your first day...
Fine Print: You must become a LABV member to find out where we play, and you must RSVP on our meetup site every week you wish to play. Also you must have a photo of yourself (not your pet or whatever) to become a member. I try to answer all the usual questions in the "Pages" link or in here, so I'm sorry but I just can't respond to emails asking questions already covered.
Our group has 2 different levels of play on Saturdays -
------- A 12:00 noon group open to ALL SKILL LEVELS (which plays 3's and 4's)
------- A 8:30am to 12:30pm doubles group open to ADVANCED and HIGH-INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS
Our guidelines:
1. All skill levels are welcome to our 12:00 noon group. We still maintain a fairly high level of play, but we also will not discriminate against you if you are a beginner. This means more experienced players will be expected to play with beginners from time to time. We are first and foremost a SOCIAL group, not a competitive group.
2. The money you pay to be in this group will go to equipment for the group and special events we provide from time to time.
3. We are pretty liberal on the rules of our games in our all-levels 12:00 noon group. Please understand that certain CBVA violations - like hand-setting a serve or lightly grazing the net during play - are going to be allowed in the 12:00 noon group. The 8:30am doubles group is much more strict on the rules.
4. If you eat the snacks, you should also occasionally bring snacks! Also, there are many restaurants nearby for post-game noshing!
5. NO stalking or other soap-opera drama! Let's remember this is a friendly group environment, not a single's bar. Complaints against members causing drama will result in removal from the group.
6. Good sportsmanship only!

By Danny Camacho
I still live in the house my parents bought in 1951. I had first
thought to recount my own memories of growing up on the East Side.
Of my three sisters and I having to just cross the street to attend
Metz Elementary. The summers passed on the playground and in the
swimming pool at Metz Park. Or weekends spent fishing with my Dad.
We would walk the few blocks down to the Colorado River, before
it became Town Lake.
Danny Camacho
But it's the old stories, the 'cuento' about
the 'abuelos,' that I heard as a child that I want
to share. My great-great-grandparents Eulogio and Pilar Luna, their
seven children and extended family came to Austin in 1872. They
settled in an area near the mouth of Shoal Creek called 'Mexico.' The
men were day laborers and the women took in laundry.
It was here that my grandmother, Higinia, went to a two-room school
at the corner of 2nd and Nueces, now the location of the Green
Water Treatment Plant. I remember hearing the tale of how in 1882
great-grandpa Toribio got rowdy in 'Guy Town,' just
a few blocks away. He was arrested and fined $5.00 for disturbing
the peace.
Another story told was about Pilar at the time of the construction
of the present state capital building. Of her being on Congress
Avenue and watching the chain-gangs of convicts being led to work
by armed mounted guards. Pilar dropped to her knees on the wooden
sidewalk and making the sign of the cross, offered up her prayers
for their wayward souls.
A block east of Congress, at 10th and Brazos, is St. Mary's Cathedral.
It was there that great-grandma Carlota, her three sisters and
brother were all married. And at 11th and Congress, now a parking
lot, once stood the Travis County Court House. It was here that
Toribio was tried for 'lunacy' in 1900. He was convicted and sentenced
to the State Lunatic Asylum on Guadalupe Street, then outside the
city limits. He died there two months later.
My mother, Lorraine,
was baptized at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, then located at the
corner of 5th and Guadalupe Streets. The downtown
post office occupies the site. She had been born in 1917 at the
home of her parents, 510 West 9th. It was in this same house, a
year later, that Pilar died. Mother's sister Lucille, who
was then 9, remembered that day. All the furniture, except for
the chairs, was taken out of the front room. It was there that
Pilar was laid out in a pine coffin. The 'casa' was soon filled
to overflowing with 'familia' and 'compadres.' An
all-night vigil was held before the funeral the next day. My aunt
and her
younger brother went out to a vacant lot and picked a bouquet of
wild red poppies to place on the casket.
Pilar, Eulogio, Carlota,
Toribio and other family members are buried in Oakwood Cemetery,
located south of Disch-Falk Baseball Field
on MLK Boulevard.
Whenever I'm on downtown Congress, I can't help
but feel the presence of my ancestors. It is as if they had just
turned the
corner ahead
of me. I then wonder if 100 years from now some future relation
will be walking there and think the same.
