US stocks fell in early trade Thursday as the market took a breather from the aggressive buying that has characterized most of 2013 so far.
About 35 minutes into trade, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 51.11 points (0.37 percent) lower at 13,935.41.
The S&P 500 index dropped 2.60 points (0.17 percent) to 1,509.52, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index fell 6.96 points (0.22 percent) to 3,161.52.
Thursday's trading followed a middling session Wednesday where markets concluded the day little-changed.
The S&P 500 is already up six percent this year "and there has been a litany of warnings from pundits that the market is due for a pullback," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare.
"The latter view, however, has often been couched with the acknowledgment that there is a lot of frustrated money on the sidelines waiting to buy on weakness," O'Hare added.
New claims for US unemployment insurance benefits slipped last week to 366,000, 5,000 less than the previous week's revised number. A note from Charles Schwab & Co. characterized the result as a slightly smaller decline than expected.
Credit card company Visa slipped 1.4 percent despite reporting better profits than expected and announcing the authorization of a new share repurchase program.
Media giant News Corp. lost 2.2 percent after it cut its profit forecasts because of declining ratings for some of its television programs.
Sprint Nextel fell 0.7 percent after reporting a narrower loss than analysts expected.
Health insurer Cigna jumped 0.8 percent after besting expectations and raising its outlook for 2013 for consolidated adjusted income.
Utility Exelon reported lower profits and cut its dividend, but still mustered a 2.8 percent gain.
US retailers reported January sales. Target fell by 0.1 percent, despite besting analyst expectations. Other leading retailers, including Macy's (up 2.6 percent) and Costco (up 0.3 percent) rose on the reports.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell to 1.96 from 1.97 late Wednesday, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury dropped to 3.17 percent from 3.18 late Wednesday. Bond prices and yields move inversely.

Contractors and Private Plans Play a Major Role in Administering Benefits
GAO-14-417T: Published: Mar 4, 2014. Publicly Released: Mar 4, 2014.

What GAO Found
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) reformed the way the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers Medicare, contracts with claims administration contractors. From its inception, the process for selecting Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims administration contractors was stipulated by Congress and differed from most other federal contracts in that, among other things, the Medicare contracts were not awarded through a competitive process. The MMA repealed limitations on the types of contractors CMS could use and required that CMS use competitive procedures to select new contracting entities to process medical claims and provide incentives for contractors to provide quality services. CMS has implemented the MMA contracting reform requirements by shifting and consolidating all claims administration tasks to new entities called Medicare Administrative Contractors. CMS is currently in the process of further consolidating these contracts. The agency also uses other contractors to review claims to ensure payments are proper and investigate potential fraud.
CMS contracts with private organizations to administer benefits under Medicare Advantage (MA), but has an important administrative and oversight role. MA is the private plan alternative to FFS and differs from FFS in that CMS contracts with private entities, known as Medicare Advantage organizations (MAOs), to provide covered health care services to beneficiaries who enroll. MAOs are paid a predetermined monthly amount for each beneficiary enrolled in one of their health plans and must provide coverage for all FFS services (except hospice care), but may also provide additional coverage. The government first began contracting with private plans in 1973. Several laws since then have changed how the MAOs are paid and the types of plans that can participate. While contract requirements for MAOs and parameters of the program are largely derived from statute, CMS has responsibility to implement the program and ensure compliance with these requirements.
CMS also contracts with private organizations, called plan sponsors, to provide the outpatient prescription drug benefit under Part D. Through the Part D contracts, plan sponsors offer prescription drug plans which may have different beneficiary cost-sharing arrangements (such as copayments and deductibles) and charge different monthly premiums. The Part D program relies on sponsors to generate prescription drug savings through negotiating price concessions with entities such as drug manufacturers, pharmacy benefit managers, and pharmacies, and managing beneficiary use. While CMS contracts with plan sponsors to provide the Part D benefit, the agency has oversight responsibilities. For instance, CMS is responsible for making accurate payments to plan sponsors and ensuring the accuracy of information submitted by plan sponsors to the beneficiary-focused Medicare Plan Finder website. Medicare actuaries have attributed lower-than-projected expenditures in Part D to a combination of factors, including lower-than-projected Part D enrollment, slower growth of drug prices in recent years, greater use of generic drugs, and higher-than-expected rebates from pharmaceutical manufacturers to the prescription drug plans.
Why GAO Did This Study
Since the enactment of Medicare in 1965, contractors have played a vital role in the administration of the program. The original FFS program was designed so that the federal government contracted with health insurers or similar private organizations experienced in handling physician and hospital claims to process and pay Medicare claims rather than having the federal government do so. CMS now also contracts with private organizations that provide covered services under the MA program and the Part D prescription drug program.
This statement provides an overview of the manner in which CMS has contracted with private organizations to administer benefits in (1) original FFS Medicare, (2) MA, and (3) the Part D prescription drug program. It is based primarily on products that GAO has issued regarding CMS contracting with claims administration contractors to administer the FFS program, and with other private organizations as part of MA and the Part D prescription drug benefit programs. These products were issued from November 1989 through January 2014 using a variety of methodologies, including reviews of relevant laws, policies, and procedures; data analysis; and interviews with contractors, stakeholders, and CMS officials. We have supplemented information from our prior products with publicly-available data on Medicare private plan contracts and enrollment, CMS-issued guidance for Medicare private plans, and a review of relevant literature. GAO has made numerous recommendations to CMS in these previous products and is not making any new recommendations at this time.

The Ireland Schools side went down to their French counterparts 24 - 10 on a hot day in Toulon on Saturday.
The French side started well and looked like the well oiled team that had the benefit of two games the over the last couple of weekends, where they played Scotland and Wales and had two victories under their belt.
And their extra match practice showed in the opening quarter, where France raced into a 13-0 lead thanks to two penalties and a converted try. By comparison, Ireland were a little bit rusty with both the lineout and scrum stuttering and turnovers were allowing the French to keep the pressure on.
But, following the opening salvo from their hosts, Ireland settled into the game and came back with a drop goal from outhalf Scott Deasy in the last ten minutes.
The French upped the pace at the beginning of the second period and put themselves further ahead with two further penalties and a try. But again the Ireland side refused to buckle under enormous pressure and although the heat was taking its toll, they scored a try through openside David Johnston, which was converted by right wing Christopher Quinn.
Ireland remained the better side, but could not make any further impact on the score which ended 24 - 10.
The Ireland squad now travel to Gloucester on Wednesday for the four nations tournament and will be better for the match practice against this strong French side.

Jennifer I feel you on the coworkers. Can I strangle a few resident doctors?
Actually my dh was making me crazy today. He has been home from work all week. OMG he was talking hockey on the phone with a friend and when they talk they get all loud and talk over eachother to the point I can hear whoever he is talking to as well. I can't stand it and I am a huge hockey fan too. Same when they talk movies or comic books. Yes my dh is a geek. Sometimes when I am asleep during the day(I work nights) and he talks to his friends I get woken up to him talking loudly to a friend. Jeez I don't do that when he sleeps.
Angela, mommy to furbaby Jake. This is our first. Michael is here 9/27/09
Mine has just been arguing with me all day long, and everything he says back is super stupid!!! And we get in a fight, I come back to kiss him, "Fine you apologized, I love you too now iM playing a game" Well eeeeeffff you then. He leaves and comes back from helping his dad, and his brother is a complete ass to me. Then they start talking about how my other brother in law was dating a girl who was bi for over a year and at a party where everyone was drinking, one girl came up and kissed my brother in laws ex girlfriend and so he broke up with her. And I said his brother was stupid for breaking up with someone over that. And his brother (who was not dating the girl ) said "Oh so.. you cant break up because they cheat on you?" thats dumb. And my DH agreed with him and I said "She didnt kiss her, and first of all he KNEW she was bi when he dated her so breaking up with her, on a "fault" he knew about was stupid. So I get mad, go down stairs.
DH comes all the way downstairs just to argue and piss me off more, and Im the one over reacting because I think its stupid his brother gets to come and act like an Ahole to my face, oh did i mention I cut his brothers hair today also? After my feet and back were killing me because I was out all day, but I still did it because he begged me to? Yeah. IM a humungo bitch preggo...
Ugh. Thanks for letting me vent!!!

My SO has a farting problem! The smell of it makes me want to hurl! I have asked and asked (begged too) for him to excuse himself and go in the other room... but nope! Has to do it right next to me and then starts laughing when I make the funny face.
Oh well! I love him (and knew that his back end smelled this bad before I signed the dotted line!).
I think I am going to start carrying around Febreeze and spraying it on him everything he lets loose! Maybe he will get the point then! lol.

Christmas Crafts for Kids - Recycling Crafts - Wine Cork Gold Angel
This sweet angel is an adorable craft for kids to create for the holidays. She can be used as a tree decoration or kids can create a numerous amount of angels and create a choir or orchestra of angels as a table decoration. For the choir, kids could fold small squares of paper and glue them to the front of the angels to look like song books. For an orchestra, kids could cut trumpet, harp or violin shapes out of gold cardstock and add them to the front of the angels.
For this project you will need:
- wine cork- small wooden bead or styrofoam ball measuring 2.5 cm- gold, black, red and flesh color paint- gold glittery yarn- gold ribbon netting (20 cm piece)- small gold ribbon for bow- silver wire for halo- hot glue gun or thick craft glue
Parents or supervisors should assist the kids when using the hot glue gun!
1. Paint the cork gold and the wood bead or styrofoam ball flesh and let the pieces dry. Glue them together when dry.2. Fold each end of the netting to the middle and overlap these ends. Take a piece of wire and wrap around this middle section, thus creating a simple bow shape. Lay aside.3. Create also a bow out of the thin ribbon and lay aside for a moment.4. Cut a few pieces of the gold glitter yarn and gather the pieces together. Tie the bundle off at the middle and glue this to the top of the head (ball). Pull the hairs in different directions so that the entire head is covered with hair.5. Cut a piece of the wire and form a loop at one end. Bend this loop in a 90° angle. Glue the long end to the backside of the head underneath the hair.6. Dot 2 eyes and a mouth on the angels face.7. Glue the netting bow to the back side of the angel as wings.8. Glue the small bow to the front side of the angel.

Drawer-Pull Mounting Jig
Mounting drawer pulls has never been easier than with this handy shop helper.
Mount drawer pulls in a jiffy by taking a few minutes to build this jig. With it, you can shave lots of time off the task of drilling drawer-pull mounting holes.
To use it, first cut a 1/4" scrap piece to 5-1/4x12". Then, mark a vertical centerline on the jig. Mark and drill centered holes for the pulls on both sides of the vertical line. For most drawers you will want to locate the holes in the jig so the pulls are centered on the height of the drawer fronts. Then, mark the center of each drawer front on its top edge, align the jig's vertical centerline with it, and drill the holes, as shown in the photo.
Very nice. I will be building one soon, thanks Wood magazine12/11/2010 02:23:32 AM Report Abuse

This face roller uses germanium, which apparently has semi-conductive properties and is known for its healing abilities. So, supposedly, if you use this germanium face roller, you can strengthen blood vessels and make them less visible on your face.
Snake oil, maybe, but rollers like this are popular in Japan. The concept behind this is that people can massage their faces while gaming.
The Germa Roller Touch Pen for 3DS comes in three colors: Gray, Black, and Pink. It's priced at ¥1,480 (US$19).
And before you ask, yes, really.

I am having a meeting with my daughter's father and a mediator to come up with the legalities for child support, visitation and such...
I was hoping some of you ladies had some good ideas on issues I need to bring up in the meeting. I agreed to this meeting instead of going through the state/Attorney General just so we can keep everything a little more civil. If this doesn't work, I will be going on with the Attorney General's office. So far we have a very cordial relationship w/ each other but you never know how these things can go.
Here's what I have so far:
-Child support (amount) (in the state of TX if I were to go through the state to file for child support I would get 20% of his income
-Visitation times, he and I have touched base on this already. He wants her 8 hours every other Sat. and Sun. after I go back to work. Which works for me. I will be pumping since I will be at work so I have no problems with that since he can have breast milk for her during that time.
-I will be bringing up medical. I have better benefits so she will be on my insurance. I want him to pay the difference for adding her to my insurance. In other words, pay for her premium. (The Texas Attorney General would make him pay the same thing) I also want to bring up the fact that I pay 20% co pay at Dr. Appts and I want to split the cost of this 50/50.
That's all I've thought of so far. Does this sound fair? What are some other issues I need to bring up?

Excellent Splinter Cell gamemagis123 | Sept. 7, 2013 | Review of Splinter Cell Blacklist NCSA - PC
IMHO one of the best Splinter Cell games to date. Good single player campaign with adequate multiplayer. Excellent use of stealth and force in the game and not as violent as some other FPS's.

Hey there! Seeing as the Overworld Editor is the tool I most use, I always wondered why there are some sprites missing, like the hero flying with the bird, or the surfing sprites (signs and there's other stuff I think). Would that be hard to implement? (because... It's boring doing that stuff on a Tile Editor, as TLP, and I think it would be appreciated if you could add them, to help lazy people mainly,
such as myself... jojo...

Gargoyle 1 by DokiestudiozWatch
©2008-2016 Dokiestudioz
Brother downloaded some episodes of gargoyles and i doodled this 8B
Definitely one of the better original character designs. LOVING the look of that face-talk about fearsome!
Very well done! I'm usually opposed to Gargoyles OC's, mainly for the lack of good design and the core cast is designed the absolute best, but this is really a great piece. Love it, and nice to see more fans of the series.
Super cool gargoyle! But more impotently, super cool pants!
Very militaristic >w> Does it have a name?
Scarring always looks good on a fighting stance. Nice work! The colours work good here as well
Abso-freakin- LOVE that show! Super amazingning.
*squee* some Gargoyles fans in the fam, huh? That is one sick, kickass Gargoyle! The anatomy is great (you got those signature claws and hand/feet structures down pat) and that outfit is awesome. The forest-green goes very well w/ the brown and I'm very fond of the 'almost-covered' look for the legs and arms He looks like a mighty, fierce warrior; those horns are awesome! They frame his face very well and they're not too overwhelming but just enough to strike fear in the hearts of wrongdoers (or goodie goodies?) He's got beautiful hair, too I wonder where he got those battle wounds from Was he trying to make a pass @ Kiya? heehee
If you could give him a name, what would you call this Gargoyle? Excellent job, my friend! You're great @ drawing Gargs
If you could give him a name, what would you call this Gargoyle? Excellent job, my friend! You're great @ drawing Gargs
That's one awesome garg pic, good going
Oh nice ^.^ He would have made a good character, cha *nod*

I personally liked Manhattan the best...y'know, the small red one?
Gargoyles is an amazing cartoon and I watched it everyday as a kid, you should go to the Gathering!! its a ton of fun, I love his face...trying to figure out who it reminds me of
Oh, that is awsome!
Are you a Gargoyles fan?
Are you a Gargoyles fan?
Gah.. I can't draw Gargoyles for anything.. lol They look weird when I draw them..
Oooh awesome 8D Nice work on his expression n_n I love all of the detail you put into the face and also his stance is really cool too :3 it has loads of nice body language packed in n_n I really like the muted colour scheme on this the most 8D it really gives him a cool creepy feel and the shading is really soft and blended as well Awesome piccy!!!!
A bit more and the wings would be possible to be confused with the background, awesome design of gargoyle, the expression, and the coloring came great
quick painting?
Whoa! This is really sweet! The details on the arms and shading is phenomenal! Do you think you could give me some pointers? I'd love to draw this well.

"The Place Beyond the Pines" - Derek Cianfrance, Bob Coccio, Daris Marder (Original Screenplay)
Pros: A major piece of work from earlier in the year, and part of a big last hurrah for Focus Features as it has been known on the awards circuit, "Pines" is a sharply structured triptych that plays like Greek tragedy. Derek Cianfrance was in the discussion for "Blue Valentine" a few years back and one wonders if this one would have stirred serious talk if it had been released after acquisition last year or held for release in the fall this year instead of March.
Cons: I guess that final thought is backing into it, but yeah, bringing the love back around (the film was well-liked by critics) is a tall order, particularly with Focus dialing down on another film up for consideration in the very same race. Also, those who didn't see it when it rolled around, will they be convinced to throw in the screener? (If you're reading and you're wondering that very thing, yes, THROW IN THE SCREENER).

Fort Sill joint training goes to dogs
July 7, 2011
FORT SILL, Okla. -- Though closed for the summer, a school on post got several extra checks for illegal drugs June 30, part of a day of training shared by military and local law enforcement dog handlers.
Stephens County Sheriff's Department deputies, with their dogs: Argo, Bak and Brando, and Fort Sill military working dog handlers visited Sheridan Road Elementary School to practice drug detection and aggression control.
"This training is huge for our deputies, because anytime we can get with someone else who does this job full-time it enhances our abilities," said John Smith, Stephens County under-sheriff. "There's a lot of illegal drug activity in Oklahoma and in Stephens County, and this training is another tool to help our department meet its commitment to eliminate drugs in the county."
Staff Sgt. Roderick Smith, acting Fort Sill kennel master, and Spc. Christopher Canfield worked with the deputies planting bags of illegal drugs in classrooms then monitoring each deputy and canine team as they conducted a thorough search to find the contraband. Smith said dogs are trained with a favorite toy that they receive as a reward for correct behaviors such as finding the hidden item. The trick is to teach the dog the toy arrives as a result of the dog finding the drug and not something the dog handler obviously tosses to it. He said it's also important to vary the delivery of the toy to keep the dog guessing. Sometimes, such as when they're doing a sweep for drugs through a building, he'll praise his dog and love on it in lieu of the toy to keep the dog searching.
As each of the three teams looked for the hidden drugs, the dogs briskly and eagerly moved through each classroom, nose ever pressed to each surface it encountered no doubt inhaling the veritable "smellgasbord" of olfactory delights only a canine could appreciate. B.A. Beene, deputy sheriff, and his dog, Argo, snuffed their way through the scenario, and the dog sat down beside a plastic container underneath which a bag of drugs lay.
"This training reminded me of the value of training on a leash. Argo is much easier to control this way, and I can show him where I want him to search," said Beene.
Deputy sheriff Mark McClung said Stephens County got its dogs from the Air Force, through a program that donates dogs to law enforcement agencies. These dogs either don't measure up to military requirements or don't get the needed daily training to keep them proficient for their duties. Once they leave the military, they enter a completely different environment, especially off duty. David Martin, deputy sheriff, said his dog,
Bak, sleeps in his bedroom, a dark haven the two escape to after working the night shift. He said he had to teach his dog to sleep during the day so it would be fresh for duty at night.
Like a shadow clinging to his side, McClung's dog, Brando, is a jet black German shepherd. To see the two work together suggests there's more of a bond then just two co-workers working their particular beat.
"Brando is part of my family, when I'm home he runs loose in the backyard, and at night he sleeps at my house," said McClung, who has trained police dogs for more than 30 years.
Whether on- or off-duty, McClung maintains absolute control over it. He said this is necessary, because if the dog bites someone and the department gets sued, they have to be able to prove proper control of their dogs and detailed documentation of its training. Because of the increased interaction with the general public, the deputies said it's rare the dogs bite and generally are well behaved around people.
McClung likened working with Brando to being around a 6-year-old child. After the dog finds a bag of drugs, he's always praising Brando with words of encouragement, and often hugging or stroking the dog's luxuriant fur.
It's that bond, however, that may be the one drawback to working with a police dog. When that time comes that a dog can no longer work, parting ways can be difficult. Looking down briefly and getting that faraway look in his eyes perhaps from a memory, McClung asked, "Have you ever lost a family member? Losing a dog is the same thing, it's horrible.
"Actually it's worse than that, because the dog is still alive, and someone else has it," he said. "I can't have two dogs so in a way it's like divorce: you still love them, but you can't see them."
But, while they remain together the duo are effective in all aspects of their police work to include searches, patrol work and aggression control. Canfield and Martin each transformed into a big green comic book character in the bulky (and hot!) bite suit, to give the dogs a target to subdue.
"Lots of dogs know how to bite and how to defend themselves, but it's a different concept to teach them to bite on command," said Sergeant Smith.
As each handler held his dog on leash, the person in the bite suit would wave his arms, swing a whip or shout to excite the dog. Flight, the first practiced movement drew from a dog's instinct to chase prey. Released by the handler, the dog quickly closed the gap and clamped down on a heavily padded arm. Deputy Smith said once the fleeing person submits, the handler calls the dog off. Sometimes the training reminds the handlers that dogs can be like kids who get into the moment, are having fun and don't want to let go.
"That's something we work hard to train out of them, and that just reinforces the value of training with our military counterparts," he said.
Teams also practiced scenarios that called for the person to aggressively attack the dog and put pressure on it. In this situation the dog bites to protect itself and its handler.
Police dogs also train on search and recovery of missing people, such as someone lost on the wildlife refuge. Sergeant Smith said that duty is impossible with military dogs, because the dogs are trained to bite and wouldn't discern the difference between a lost person or one hiding to avoid capture.
He added training days like this maintain working relationships and are especially necessary in his speciality: Smith is an explosives dog handler and may respond to requests for explosives trained dogs for situations in Colorado, Arkansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas.
With the heat of the day turning the gym into a sauna, the dog handlers ended their joint session.
"This training is so valuable for our deputies, because we get to share things that work with our dogs and learn from each other," said Deputy Smith. "Training needs to be realistic to be effective, and working in this building today was great for our dogs and their handlers."

"Of course the grunge influence on music today is undeniable. For us it shows up in an unapologetic catharsis in expressing ourselves. How could it not have left its footprint? In the same way, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Phillip Glass, Bjork, Greg Ginn, or Beethoven have influenced us--and the list goes on.
No matter what era or genre of music, your lasting legacy depends greatly on how comfortable you are with being yourself. The Seattle music scene I have experienced so far is scared to do that."
"The problem with influence is that the ones you are most likely to be influenced by were the people who found a way out. In '91, grunge was the new way out, but it's not that anymore.
We as a band, have pulled things from grunge just like we have pulled things from all musicians who have done something great--and unapologetically--but we aren't tied down to it. I think its great for Seattle to be the home of a movement that changed music forever. It's a point of pride. It also gives NW musicians a chance to look closely at what was really going on there . . . and decide for themselves what makes a legend a legend."

Neighborhood News Roundup: Vegan Yoga Jazz Edition
A regular summary of irregular news and notes from neighborhood blogs and email lists around the District.
But is it Gluten-Free? The Bloomingdale blog gives notice of the existence of a unique enterprise: a vegan yoga musical supper club. The owner writes: "I'm a bloomingdale resident with my own business, LOTUS UPRISING! (lotusuprising.com). We throw a monthly yoga-vegan food-musical mashup party, and our October event is a JAZZ BRUNCH this Sunday at 10:30 AM over at 11th and U Sts, NW. We'll have a sweaty yoga class taught by Colin Brightfield of Down Dog Yoga, a fabulously vegan meal cooked by me, Erin McCarthy, and gorgeous design and direction by Jamie Gahlon—all with live jazz music!"
We'd Love To Read The Responses: A guest poster on And Now, Anacostia has some problems with the neighborhood: "I think residents personalize things too much in this city, at the expense of looking at things objectively. In Ward 8, the uneducated simply outnumber the educated. Not that education is everything, but politicians play residents. People in a neglected part of town come out against the very transportation initiaitives that are designed to increase access to points west. How smart is that? I don't think anybody will open businesses, thereby increasing jobs in an area inundated with too many social services, resulting in people out on the street. Like I'm really going to take my wife and kids to a sit-down restaurant in that type of environment?" The post was copied from the Historic Anacostia email list, which is members-only; we haven't been able to see what the other members think.
Food Trucks East of the River? Congress Heights on the Rise muses over the paucity of food trucks in Ward 8: "Lastly, I had a nice little chat with the DC Empenada truck about why more food trucks don't come to Anacostia and Ward 8. As I suspected, the perception is that food trucks don't make as much money in our community as they do west of the river. While downtown Anacostia may not have the same foot traffic (yet) as downtown DC there is business to be had, provided the food trucks become more familiar with key parking locations (like the DHCD building in Anacostia) and marketing (be sure to spread the Twitter word in advance). I am mulling over a 'Guide To Food Trucking East of the River' post for our purveyors of the mobile treats."

The Ward 3 DC blog quotes the commissioner as writing on the Tenleytown email list, "How about putting them in OTHER parts of the city that are also near the subway and public transportation and are desperately looking for quality development that new residents would bring, such as east of the Anacostia and the new North of Union Station? Not all development and high density residential has to be in Tenley." She continues, "Many of us worked very hard to keep Tenleytown from becoming like Cleveland Park and Friendship Heights. Growth, even 'smart growth' (whatever THAT is) is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes status quo is actually best. For those who want a Manhattan/Ballston/Friendship Heights style of living, I say, go there. Leave Tenleytown the small town oasis that it is." Funny, Friendship Heights seems a whole lot more like Tenleytown than Manhattan ever could.

LLM 12 months full-time, 24 or 36 months part-time
START DATES: September or January
Criminal Justice has long been an important area for study and is still developing fast particularly in the international arena. There is increased worldwide interest in ensuring that criminal justice systems comply with human rights requirements in order to ensure that states' implementation and enforcement of the criminal law, through investigation, trial and punishment, respect the civil liberties of citizens accused of crime.
Human Rights is increasingly becoming a subject of both national and international importance, with many countries now endeavouring to ensure that their legal systems embody a full respect for citizens' human rights and the growth of international protocols, such as that leading to the establishment of the International Criminal Court, those securing the rights of minority populations and indigenous groups, and the creation of international conventions designed to tackle Human Trafficking.
This programme provides students the opportunity to examine current legal aspects of both Criminal Justice and Human Rights in depth, and to gain a deeper understanding of these issues.
