Be the Evidence International in Collaboration with International CURE
Have Released A New Just Aging' Shadow Report Entitled:
Analysis of United States Compassionate and Geriatric Release Laws:
a Rights-Based Response for Diverse Elders and Their Families and Communities
The purpose of this report was to conduct a content analysis of the laws and regulations pertaining to the early release or furlough of incarcerated people within the United States in connection to advanced age and/or illness. The review of 52 federal and state corrections systems (50 states, Washington D.C, and Federal Corrections) demonstrate 47 have some legal procedure or precedent for incarcerated people or their families to petition for early release based on advanced age or health. Five corrections systems (e.g.. Illinois, Massachusetts, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah) do not have explicit legal mechanisms for early release, and therefore there is no obvious legal pathway, with a clear set of actions, to acquire early release for incarcerated people in these jurisdictions based on health or advanced age.
Among the 47 systems with early release or furlough, some common circumstances were observed that helped to determine release criteria. These areas of consideration include, but are not limited to: type of crime committed, level of incapacity or illness, anticipated survival time, a clearly-detailed process for application and/or appeal, level of supervision or support in place upon release, and potential impact or opinion of the victim and/or their family. Though there is some consistency in the criteria considered for early release, there is little consistency across systems in which distinct processes assess and determine advanced age or failing health. As the prison population in the US grows, and the cost to incarcerate is impacted by medical care, it is important to understand if and how various systems address the likelihood of treating incarcerated people who are older and/or who have a serious or terminal illness.
This content analysis prompts additional questions and offers guidance on how human rights standards can be used to construct policies, laws, and practice that respect and honor the dignity of the person, promote the political, civil, social, economic, and cultural rights of all citizens, and ensure nondiscrimination, transparency, and accountability on the part of governments. Future research, evaluation, and monitoring recommendations should include an assessment of the following: (1) the extent to which existing policies meet human rights standards; (2) how frequently incarcerated people are released following the submission of a request for early release and whether such requests monitored; (3) the nature of the barriers within each system that inhibit the development and operation of a consistent and orderly review process; (4) the attitudes of the public and lawmakers concerning early release for eligible incarcerated persons and the ways in which they influence the development and/or amendment of laws; (5) whether cost of care should be a consideration for release; (6) how, if at all, wishes of the families of victims and incarcerated persons should be taken into consideration; and (7) the most successful supports for incarcerated persons post-release?
Treatment of the aging and ailing population within prisons constitutes a moral, economic, social, legal, and human rights issue. Therefore it is important to understand how aging and ailing incarcerated people are perceived by ourselves and within the prison system before communities can meaningfully respond to their aging, seriously ill, and dying members and offer support to their families.

The rapid growth of the incarceration of aging people in prison across the globe is
particularly problematic in the United States, which has the largest incarceration rate per capita.
This papers examines the aging in prison crisis through the lens of the social determinants of
health, well-being, and justice. Case studies and promising practices are reviewed to assist in a
coordinated human rights based response to address the aging in prison crisis at the grassroots,
national, and international levels.

He is the recipient of numerous grants and his work can be found in museums and private collections. To see more of his Prisoners of Age Project, please visit: www.prisonersofage.com
"Prisoners of Age" is a series of photographs and interviews with elderly inmates and corrections personnel conducted in prisons both in the United States and Canada since 1996.
The exhibition and 208-page companion book serve to capture the complexity of a subject that is seldom contemplated – aging offenders in the correctional system. The project explores the socio-economic causes of crime and delinquency, encouraging visitors to consider the human dimension of doing time while growing old in prison; the objective being to open the eyes of the public, to play a role in stimulating social and institutional change by addressing these issues of social justice and human dignity through images and interviews.
More than two million North Americans are now behind bars, an estimated 35 percent of them edging far past middle age. "Prisoners of Age" offers a microcosmic glimpse of what lies ahead in this new millennium. Existing prison space is in serious decline, bunk space and medical costs are soaring. Geriatric inmates comprise the fastest growing age group in the United States. Statistically, the risk of recidivism decreases significantly with age. Within a year of release, inmates between the ages of 18 and 24 have a recidivism rate of 22 percent. For inmates over the age of 43, the rate drops to two percent. After the age of 55, recidivism drops to below one percent. In Canada, the average expense of medical care and maintenance for inmates over 55 is $79,000 [$79,000 USD] per year, about four times the norm. Meanwhile, the people who manage North America's prison system are worrying more and more about how to handle the imminent explosion in the geriatric population.
A limited number of hardcover copies of the book Prisoners of Age will be available for purchase ($30.00)

New BTEP Article Appearing in a Special Issue on Elder Abuse: Trauma, stress, grief, loss, and separation among older adults in prison: the protective role of coping resources on physical and mental wellbeing
Recent evidence suggests that older adults in prison experience a high level of adverse life experiences that can be categorized as trauma, stress, grief and loss. However, there is a dearth of research that examines how older adults' use of physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual coping resources influence their physical and mental well-being. The current study uses a cross-sectional correlational design and a sample of 667 adults aged 50 and older in a northeastern state prison system. Data were collected using a mailed survey that included the Life Stressors Checklist-Revised, the Coping Resources Inventory, and Health-Related Quality of Life Survey to measure the variables of central interest. The majority (70%) of the sample reported some type of traumatic and stressful life experiences that included childhood and/or adult exposure to violence, unexpected and expected loss of a loved one, family separation, or being diagnosed with a serious physical or mental illness. Path analysis results produced a well-fitting model and revealed that five dimensions of coping resources (physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual) demonstrate a protective affect on the relationship between cumulative, traumatic and stressful life experiences and well-being among older adults in prison. These findings suggest that the lifetime experiences of multiple types of trauma, stress, grief, separation, and loss are common among older adults in prison and place them at risk for later-life physical and mental decline. Multidimensional coping strategies that address physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual domains are promising intervention techniques that can improve well-being among older adults in prison.

Until quite recently, the nature and early development of ethne barely merited mention in scholarly accounts of early Greece.1 In so far as ethne were discussed, it was in terms of geographically extensive networks of low-level ties, traceable via material traits such as regional pottery styles or the ethnic plurals attested from Homer onwards - a simpler but more durable alternative to poleis, and the primitive products of post-palatial socio-political simplification.2 Such assumptions have lingered far longer than they merited either on theoretical or archaeological grounds. Theoretically, they represent little more than social-evolutionism and a somewhat crude approach to archaeological 'cultures' (Shennan 1989: 5–14; Morgan, Early States: ch. 1 n. 64, 17–8, 165–8). Materially, it is clear that the more we know of the so-called ethnos-regions, the more complex and varied their archaeological records appear. This is not only the result of new fieldwork, although such work has transformed our knowledge of regions like East Lokris,3 wrongly assumed to have been near-deserted during the Early Iron Age. Projects centred on the reappraisal of old data, such as those from Isthmia and the area of Olympia, have also had a major impact.4 This is true not only of the Early Iron Age, but also of the Late Bronze Age, especially as attention has turned to epigraphical and archaeological evidence for the territorial aspects of Mycenaean states.5 A further

Modeling of the appliance, lighting, and space-cooling energy consumptions in the residential sector using neural networks
Two methods are currently used to model residential energy consumption at the national or regional level: the engineering method and the conditional demand analysis method. Another potentially feasible method to model residential energy consumption is the neural network (NN) method. Using the NN method, it is possible to determine causal relationships amongst a large number of parameters, such as occur in the energy consumption patterns in the residential sector. A review of the published literature indicates that the NN method has not been used or tested for housing-sector energy consumption modeling. A NN based energy consumption model is being developed for the Canadian residential sector. This paper presents the NN methodology used in developing the appliances, lighting, and space-cooling component of the model, the accuracy of its predictions, and some sample results.

Broadway Bound
New Republic, Sept. 10
The cover story makes the conservative case against racial profiling. Conservatives argue that racial profiling, while a clear invasion of privacy, is essential to effective law enforcement. But it isn't. Racial profiling creates an unnecessary rift between the police and the communities they serve, and, according to one study, it doesn't even make cops more effective at stopping crime. … An article suggests that the White House wouldn't mind a recession. The Bushies think such a slump will shift the nation's attention away from the budget—where Bush is catching heat for endangering the Social Security surplus—and toward the economy. Moreover, the economic gloom could neutralize two powerful Democratic planks: the Social Security lockbox and debt reduction.— B.C.
Economist, Sept. 1 The cover editorial argues that Russia, "a country that is too large and well-armed to be overlooked, but all too prickly and unpredictable to be counted on," has the opportunity to have global respect again. If Vladimir Putin negotiates in good faith with the United States about missile defense and takes a less hostile view to NATO membership for Soviet republics, Russia will be able to call itself a legitimate world player again.... A piece explores the explosion of planned communities. One in six Americans lives in one, accepting pesky rules about what color they can paint their houses and how big their dogs can be in return for security and a sense of community. One planned community caters to gun enthusiasts, another to rappers. Why the craze? Because Americans are Utopians at heart and believe they can create their own paradises, and because they hate government with a fervor.—J.D.
New York Times Magazine, Sept. 2 The cover story glimpses at the grueling schedule of Nathan Lane, star of Broadway's The Producers. Eight performances per week. Ravenous autograph seekers. House crowds that can be oversexed one night and catatonic the next. By the end of its first year, the show will earn Lane more than $2.5 million, but the stress has already cost him 20 pounds. Says Lane, "It is, as we say, like being trapped in a hit."… A piece profiles Jonathan Franzen, author of the upcoming novel The Corrections. In 1996, Franzen, then an obscure novelist, published an essay in Harper's declaring himself a peer of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon—i.e., the writer who could revive the "big socially engaged novel." According to the author, he's done so by creating what those authors leave out: engaging, memorable characters.— B.C.
Time, Sept. 3
The cover story profiles women's tennis, which easily surpasses the men's game in popularity. The Williams sisters' aloofness, Martina Hingis' hostility, and Monica Seles' and Jennifer Capriati's resilience make it a sport of great personalities and lots of talent.... A package documents the re-emergence of Los Angeles gangs. There were only 136 gang murders in 1999, but last year, the figure ballooned to 331. Why? Because gang lords imprisoned in the late 1980s are back on the streets, and because the scandal-plagued LAPD has been cowed into using less aggressive tactics.... An article on the fight between Democrats and Republicans over who's to blame for the shrinking surplus. Dems say: The Bush tax cut did it. GOPers say: Democratic spending is the culprit, and the tax cut rescued the economy from total ruin. Meanwhile, both parties want to dip into the Social Security surplus, but they know the first to do so will get spun as anti-senior citizen.— J.D.
To try four issues of Time magazine for free, click here.
Newsweek, Sept. 3 The cover story reports that despite the hard-sell marketing behind new arthritis wonder drugs, the disease is as crippling as ever. Doctors still don't know exactly what causes it, and available treatments (pain relief or joint replacement) don't get at the root causes. Celebrex and Vioxx work no better than aspirin, but drug companies have made a fortune on them because the 21 million people who suffer from arthritis are desperate.... A piece calls the flurry of interviews Gary Condit gave last week "Clintonesque" and says they rekindled what had been a dying story.... In an interview with Newsweek, Condit said Connie Chung didn't allow him to properly express his sympathy for the Levy family in his TV interview. When asked if he had anything to apologize for, he said, "If I hurt … someone unintentionally or intentionally, I'm sorry, I apologize for that."— J.D.
U.S. News & World Report, Sept. 3 The cover story introduces "positive psychology," a growing movement that believes people can teach themselves to be happy. Psychology today focuses on making people less sad. Although we all have biologically predetermined baselines of happiness, by appreciating the good things in life and accentuating the positive (even its practitioners admit that positive psychology borders on cheesy), we can live at the top of our happiness ranges.... An article reports that in the next few days Bill Daley will decide whether to run for governor of Illinois, which would be his first run for office. Voters worry that he would bring a Chicago-centric attitude to the job, especially since his brother is the city's mayor. But he could call on Bill Clinton and Al Gore, both former bosses, to campaign for him.— J.D.
The New Yorker, Sept. 3 A profile of Michael Bloomberg's efforts to leverage the "power of positive thinking" (not to mention oodles of money) into a gig as NYC mayor. Bloomberg's platform, like the candidate himself, smacks of confidence and ambition. He insists his rosy talk is for real and refuses to place limitations on either the city or his campaign. Who told him cynicism-free politicking played well in the Big Apple? (Slate's David Greenberg assessed Bloomberg, the brand-name candidate, earlier this summer.) … A writer who dabbles in "alternative eating" marvels at the contribution of chowhound.com. The site's faithful comb the side streets of New York looking for hidden deliciousness, particularly of the obscure and ethnic variety. Their findings are reported to Jim Leff, the man responsible for the site and the discoverer of the Arepa Lady on 79th and Roosevelt Avenue. (Leff wrote a "Diary" for Slate last year.)— D.N.
Texas Monthly, September 2001 An article explains why President Bush has moved far to the right of Texas Gov. Bush. Back in Austin, Bush crafted an advisory team without a true "gatekeeper"—i.e., a dominant voice that drowned everyone else out. Joe Allbaugh, Bush's top enforcer and chief of staff, canceled out Karl Rove, his ruthlessly partisan political director. In Washington, however, Rove nabbed the White House job while Allbaugh was shuttled off to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Rove's newfound influence, the author suggests, may explain why Sen. Jim Jeffords, I-Vt., defected from the GOP: "If Allbaugh had been on the inside keeping an eye on Rove, wouldn't Jeffords still be a Republican?"… The cover story tracks down Texas legends who fell off the radar screen. Fess Parker, television's Davy Crockett, runs a winery and is a GOP donor. Rap star Vanilla Ice is now a top draw in Odessa.—B.C.
Weekly Standard, Sept. 3 An article says Jesse Helms will be missed because "politicians as firm in their beliefs and as willing to buck public opinion and the Washington culture don't appear very often." The piece sees Ronald Reagan's ascension in the party in the 1970s as a direct consequence of Helms' "unflinching devotion to Conservative principles."… The lead editorial, like the cover story, has advice for Bush on Israel. It proclaims "Now is the time for the United States to stand unequivocally with Israel," not as a mediator but as an ally. The editors urge Bush to give Israel a green light to fight back. Among other things, he should immediately can the State Department line that shrugs off terrorist acts as part of a "cycle of violence."— D.N.

In fact I believe it's my second one since I haven't been able to get some help. As stated before, I'm not sure if it's because of my work computer (It shouldn't be, my three co workers who hack their phone, 2 same device, have had no issues only me) or what but every time I try to install, it gets about 2/3 of the way and then stops and says it cannot install it. Even when I hook up my phone, or use Kies, it doesn't recognize CDC Serial or Samsung_android. YES I have USB Debugging enabled, but for the friggen life of me cannot get those two to be recognized therefore can't use Odin. It's getting really annoying so anyone really good with computers have any advice here? Thanks!

In our quest to eradicate zits we've tried our fair share of pimple-busting products—with mixed results. This radical serum may very well be The One. The doctor-developed formula penetrates the skin, going straight to the source to eliminate trapped bacteria, dirt, and oil to restore damaged skin. It gets the job done quickly and gently, without irritating or over-drying your skin. The patent-pending YS3 Complex delivers blemish-banishing ingredients, like tea tree oil and salicylic acid, beneath the skin's surface. Willow bark extract reduces inflammation and redness. Bonus: The serum also tackles surface scars and hyperpigmentation.
I love that this contains willow bark. I have used it for the occasional blemish and it does the trick. I haven't noticed it makes any difference with scars. The sample tube was large and had a generous amount. Definitely helps with redness and didn't dry my skin out in the winter snow during ski season.5
Of course every skincare review starts this way, but I've been struggling with acne for almost 10 years now and I really HAVE tried every skincare product under the sun. This stuff is excellent. I'm on my fourth day of use. It is a little runny, a little grainy, and it has an herbal scent (not sweet, but a little like eucalyptus. It goes away a minute after you apply). It turned my whiteheads into smaller, more manageable red bumps overnight. I also had a red mark from a previous zit that was still healing when I began using this, and it's almost entirely gone now - mark and all. I don't just use it to spot treat (although you could!); I use it all over my face, and it just makes my skin look nice. Thank you Birchbox!!5

We loved this recipe. I have made this twice already and this last time I made it my twists came out perfect. After spreading the cinnamon/sugar combo on the rectangle I folded the dough once as indicated in the recipe. I cut the strips and then I folded each strip in half again and twisted on both ends, gently pulling to stretch. I also only used 1 tsp of butter on top of the dough. Otherwise, followed as written. This time around I made an orange glaze to put on top of the baked twists. I mixed 2 cups of powdered sugar with 1/4 cup orange juice and added zest to the mixture. Loved the result. Thanks mini for sharing!
These are heavenly! I shared my freshly-baked batch with neighbors who loved them just as we did. I stopped at 2 3/4 cups flour and later formed fourteen extra-large twists which were baked on two cookie sheets. Next time I'll bake the twists on parchment paper to keep them very light on the bottom. Thank you for posting this wonderful recipe!
My grandchildren always ask me to make these when they come over to stay. I have to agree with them, they are delish! For variation, sometimes I mix in chopped nuts with the glaze. Great addition.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Space weather officials say the strongest solar storm in more than six years is bombarding Earth with radiation with more to come.
The radiation is mostly an issue for satellite disruptions and astronauts in space. It can cause communication problems for polar-traveling airplanes.
The Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado observed the flare Sunday at 11 p.m. EST. Physicist Doug Biesecker says the biggest concern is the radiation, which arrived on Earth an hour later. It will likely continue through Wednesday.
Biesecker said the storm's radiation levels are considered strong but other storms have been more severe. It is the strongest level since May 2005.
Plasma ejected from the sun arrives Tuesday, but is not as strong. It can extend the visibility of auroras and disrupt the electrical grid.

I tend to be a sentimental girl, and therefore, I love traditions. They're the simple threads that bind us to our pasts, food traditions and memories being great examples. Food connects us all. Recipes handed down from generation to generation are priceless pieces to the puzzle that's your life. They hold stories, the "Oh, wasn't that just the best meal ever?" or, "Remember that year when the power went out in the middle of cooking the lasagna?" and, of course, the "No one makes applesauce like Nanny did!" stories.
They're the go-tos, the must-haves, and the things we look forward to sitting down in front of and enjoying on those special days. They get named after the ones we love—"Dad's German pancakes," and "Mom's potato filling," "Nana's salmon loaf—so even if their namesakes aren't physically with us at the table, they're there in spirit through the magic of food.
These are the tangible, "hold them in your hands" kind of memories of our own childhood. I can clearly picture my mom's tin recipe box. The recipe cards, yellowed by time, in my mom's perfect cursive handwriting, folded over, stained and splattered on. The dirtier the card, the more loved that recipe was. That tin box, and what it held, is imprinted on my heart. I'm sure, as a child, I had no real conscious thought of this, but now, at age 39, the fact that I can evoke the exact image of that tin box reinforces how important it was.
Now that I'm a mom, my hope is that I, too, am creating lasting memories for my little family through food. My favorite moments are all in the making. The gathering together in the kitchen, all hands in, sticky little fingers and flour-dusted noses—this is when the stories unfold, the stories of old and the new stories yet to be told.
Pie is one of our favorite things to make. I hope they remember how I let them draw in the flour as the dough rests, the weight of my hands on theirs as we roll out a circle, and how small tears in the dough are easily mended with a little water and a gentle touch. I want them to remember that no pie is perfect, but all are perfectly imperfect, and that slowing down, taking time and creating something homemade together brings us closer together.
My camera tends to look a lot like my kids' fingers on baking days, flour-dusted and more than a little sticky; I would have it no other way. This is a celebration of the connectedness of food, the stories of family and the feeling of home, all captured through my lens.

Oregon trying to bounce back from dismal year
By Ed Graney
Special to ESPN.com
First things first: It was just a marketing slogan. A way to create interest. A few words on a poster. A phrase meant more to honor the past than the present, to remember those who dribbled before, rather than demand greatness from a bunch of wide-eyed freshmen with mad skills and minimal know-how.
It really wasn't supposed to be that big a deal. Or at least everyone says so.
"It was a little over the top,"
Bryce Taylor
admits. "It was a little overblown."
Expectations often turn merciless when reality sets in, and no college basketball team knows this better than Oregon. Last season, the Ducks anticipated continuing what had been a notable run under coach Ernie Kent -- five postseason berths, a Pac-10 title, an NCAA Elite Eight, two NIT Final Fours, three first-round NBA draft picks -- with a roster dominated by young but talented first-year players such as McDonald's All-Americans Taylor and
Malik Hairston
School officials dubbed the 2004-05 edition the "Team of the Century." Oregon then finished 14-13 overall and 6-12 in the conference, numbers more sobering than a vision of Dr. Ruth in spandex.
It wasn't even "Team of the Northwest."
"What a lot of people don't understand is that the whole 'Team of the Century' thing came from it being the 100th basketball team in [school history] and we sort of piggybacked onto that," Kent said. "At the same time, we had a group of players who set the bar very high for themselves. And even through all the adversity, they continued to bounce back every single game, every single practice. That was huge. They didn't even realize the growth that was taking place."
Maybe because they didn't talk enough or were just plain too tired?
You know a lack of communication was a major issue when they all say how much better the communication is now.
You know conditioning wasn't a priority when they all say how much better conditioned they are now.
It was a difficult period that spared no one, Kent included. He is entering a ninth season running the program he played for and cherishes, but faced hardships both on and off the court last year. He envisioned a team with great possibility, plans that were severely compromised when he dismissed center Ian Crosswhite from the program 19 games into the season.
Just last week, Crosswhite -- now playing professionally in his native Australia -- acknowledged to a newspaper there that the action came as a result of his testing positive for marijuana three times. He was apparently high on something most of last season, just not his relationship with Kent or what he terms the "me, me, me" attitude of his young teammates.
Then there was the coach's summer statement -- about the time the university re-announced a five-year rollover contract extension amid rumors his job security was approaching life support -- about "difficult times" he and his family continued to work through but how none of them had impacted the basketball program. The whole thing was more bizarre than a November day in Eugene without showers.
"I think as things got rougher for [Kent], he wanted to make sure his communication with us as players was his No. 1 concern," said Taylor, a 6-5 guard who averaged 11.6 points last season. "It just wasn't as good as it could have been last season. As the problems became more personal for him, I think everything brought him back to earth a little more. His relationship with us is a lot better now.
"I definitely think we'll be more prepared to handle things this season. We'll be far more mentally tough for the whole experience of last year. We'll be much better for it."
How can't they be? Senior Day this past March included no seniors, so Oregon honored a pair of team managers and a retiring Pac-10 official. Everyone returns from a team that lost five conference games by eight or fewer points. Kent still has the biggest Pac-10 team and maybe the fastest. He has players who now know what it's like to play at Arizona and Stanford and UCLA and so on. He has a junior point guard (
Aaron Brooks
) who spent much of his summer watching film of NBA star Steve Nash and what it means to make intelligent decisions with the ball.
Overnight, the Ducks are capable of going from not qualifying for the conference tournament back into a mix of the league's top four teams. Or perhaps better.
Do you remember the freshman season of former Oregon stars Luke Ridnour and Luke Jackson? The Ducks went 14-14.
The next season: Elite Eight.
"Last season was obviously disappointing, and we've worked really hard over the summer to make sure it never happens again," said Hairston, a talented wing who had averages of 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds last year. "I think [Kent] handled all the adversity well. Obviously, a lot of it was personal issues we knew nothing about, but I can tell you we always had his back and we always will.
"You know, the whole 'Team of the Century' thing was just a creative idea to try and get the season off on a good note. I'm not sure any of us felt that much more pressure because of it. Who knows? Maybe one day we can become the 'Team of the Century' around here. But we still have a lot of work to do."
And they still have the support of a small army. Oregon hosted a Midnight Madness celebration Oct. 14, one of five schools nationally selected for an ESPNU telecast. At 6:30 that morning, 1,000 students already were lined up in hopes of snagging a prime seat in the popular Pit Crew section.
The anticipation is growing again. The expectations have returned. The faithful still believe.
"Last season humbles you in a sense," Kent said. "It makes you appreciate the great years you have had and all the hard work that it took to get there. At the same time, you realize that sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward. This group is so much more focused now, so much better. They know what to expect. Let's get it going."
Maybe this season, results will speak louder than any slogan.

Discover the neighborhoods of Pokhara
The city of Pokhara is one of Nepal's largest cities, located in the Gandaki Zone and serving as an important starting point for those visiting Annapurna. As Annapurna is an extremely popular destination for mountain trekkers around the world, Pokhara sees a large number of visitors throughout the year.
Pokhara is about 200 kilometers from Kathmandu, so access into the city is fairly easy. There are regular buses that make the journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara regularly, and the city is also served by Pokhara Airport.
Pokhara's perfect location makes it very rich with viewpoints and trekking destinations. However, there are also places in this city with intense religious and cultural significance. One such place is the Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, which is home to a revered statue of the Hindu god Shiva within the depths of the cave. The proximity to a nearby waterfall makes this experience even more stunning as one can follow the path to a waterfall after exploring the cave.
For those who are interested in doing more than trekking along stunning trails while in Pokhara, a visit to the Tashi Ling Tibetan Village might offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about the culture and some history of the Tibetan people. While this village is a little bit out of the way and worlds away in culture, there are still some hotels and dining venues in the area for those who might choose to stay more than an afternoon.
There's much more to see and experience in Pokhara, and the interactive map on this page is a great way to find out where the attractions and hotels can be found in this amazing city.

Patriotic Treason
Patriotic Treason
John Brown and the Soul of America
Free Press, Hardcover, 9780743271363, 400pp.
Publication Date: August 29, 2006
Vividly re-creating the world in which Brown and his compatriots lived with a combination of scrupulous original research, new perspectives, and a sensitive historical imagination, "Patriotic Treason" narrates the dramatic life of the first U.S. citizen committed to absolute racial equality. Here are his friendships (Brown lived, worked, ate, and fought alongside African Americans, in defiance of the culture around him), his family (he turned his twenty children by two wives into a dedicated militia), and his ideals (inspired by the Declaration of Independence and the Golden Rule, he collaborated with black leaders such as Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, and Harriet Tubman to overthrow slavery).
Evan Carton captures the complex, tragic, and provocative story of Brown the committed abolitionist, Brown the tender yet demanding and often absent father and husband, and Brown the radical American patriot who attacked the American state in the name of American principles. Through new research into archives, attention to overlooked family letters, and reinterpretation of documents and events, Carton essentially reveals a missing link in American history.
A wrenching family saga, Patriotic Treason positions John Brown at the heart of our most profound and enduring national debates. As definitions of patriotism and treason are fiercely contested, as some criticize religious extremism while others mourn religion's decline, and as race relations in America remain unresolved, John Brown's story speaks to us as never before, reminding us that one courageous individual can change the course of history.
Evan Carton is a professor of English and the director of the Humanities Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, where he has taught for the last twenty-seven years. The author of several books and numerous journal and magazine articles on American literature, culture, and politics, he lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and two daughters.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - An American Airlines jet flying from Dallas/Ft. Worth to Boston was diverted Thursday after a flight attendant found a note saying there was a bomb in the cargo hold.
Investigators were examining a "suspicious package," said Ronald Robert, a spokesman for Nashville International Airport. He did not know on what part of the plane the package was found.
The flight attendant found the note in one of the plane's lavatories. The 129 passengers were taken off the plane and rescreened by the Transportation Security Administration and FBI.
Flight 306 left Dallas/Ft. Worth at 1:46 p.m. and landed in Nashville shortly after 3:30 p.m., said American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner. It was a full flight carrying two pilots and three flight attendants.

Rap Genius dot com is white devil sophistry/Urban Dictionary is for demons with college degrees--Kool AD, "Middle of the Cake"
Huh, OK. I wasn't expecting to get called to account on this one, but I don't want to leave anyone wondering (and I am a fan), so here goes: my thoughts on Das Racist's new album, Relax. First of all, we gotta quit with this hand-wringing shit that DR are SOOO hard to parse or whatever. (The application deadline for that essay was last year.) They're smart and they're funny and they can rap--it's all pretty simple. Anyway, Relax is the group's commercial debut--following two mixtapes in 2010 which charted rapid development--and it sounds like it: The stoned sprawl of those tapes is here concentrated into 14 pretty self-contained songs (including The Song for the Ladies and The Song for the Underground Rap Heads [featuring El-P]); there are more (and more poppy) choruses; and while they still pack their songs with pointy-headed references and inside jokes, it all feels like it's being intentionally pitched at an audience much broader than just undergrads and rap bloggers.Perhaps no single song is more indicative of the shift than "Booty in the Air"--sadly, not an Ypsilanti All Stars cover, but in fact a recycle of an old DR beat from 2008, previously called "Different Schools." Back then, DR were rapping with fake patois about the anxieties of a Wesleyan dude dating a Pratt chick or whatever (CAN YOU IMAGINE?!); now, they've (largely) ditched the Shaun Bridgmohan angle and repositioned the song as a more general--and Juvenile--ode. They reprise the old "Me like this giiiiirl/And she like me too" chorus, but pointedly don't mention schools.
Of course, Das Racist treat their commercial ambitions with typically self-aware humor, rapping choruses of "Michael Jackson/A million dollars" and "It's a brand new dance/Give us all your money"--the latter of which is followed by the platitudinous "Everybody/Love everybody," which inspires fellow White Devil Rap Blogger(TM) Andrew Matson to muse: "What's it making fun of, money-obsessed rap (Jay-Z), dance-craze rap (Soulja Boy), the entire idea of commercial art? Probably all of the above."
So, yeah, on first listen, I didn't think much of the above-quoted song "Michael Jackson"--was put off by Heem's gravelly tough-guy voice, annoyed with the chorus. But the chorus sticks, and Heems turns out to use the gruffness sparingly. I didn't think much of Relax in general on first listen, either. But of course 1st-listen Relax can't compare with 234th-listen Sit Down, Man, after all the jokes and hooks and clever turns of phrase have had time to be dissected and digested. And over just the course of a week, Relax-and "Michael Jackson"--have grown on me significantly.
The tracks, as Todd suggests, are perhaps a little more polished musically, and while the density of the samples and programming felt claustrophobic at first, if you dig in, there are a lot of fun, tricky hooks to get lost in. The whole first half, from "Relax" to "Shut Up, Man" is ace, turns out. The back half I'm not fully through with yet, but it's nice to see "Rainbow in the Dark" get a repeat here. Away from the Internet and my iPod for the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to find the game, goofy chorus of "Middle of the Cake" stuck in my head on repeat. And, you know, they're FUCKING GREAT AT RAPPING.

The Dangerous Mysteries of Consciousness
We still need answers.
There's a certain kind of mystery—unsolved and probably insoluble—that has a seductive attraction for me. I think the insolubility is the attraction. Historical and literary mysteries: What was the origin of Hitler's hatred? Did Shakespeare revise Hamlet? And I'm particularly troubled by metaphysical mysteries, the essential but oh-so-slippery mysteries of existence. Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the origin and nature of consciousness? What distinguishes living from nonliving being?
I can't get past the idea that they may never be solved. And what's most irritating is when people seem unaware they have not been solved. Or when people who should know better proclaim there are no real mysteries left. Consider, for instance, the problem of the origin and nature of consciousness. The failure to solve it without resorting to religion or quasi-religious "intelligent design"—which offers no real resolution since it doesn't explain what created the consciousness behind the intelligence of intelligent design—strikes many observers as dangerous. Dangerous because it threatens the foundation of scientific rationalism and materialism. Dangerous because it disrupts one's sense of any order in the universe and opens the floodgates of chaos.
"Consciousness is the only thing in the world and the greatest mystery." This was Martin Amis at recent prepublication celebration of Nabokov's The Original of Laura, at the 92nd Street Y, paraphrasing Nabokov, whose ability to evoke the tenor and texture of consciousness may be one of his most distinctive talents as a writer. Did it come from the fact that Nabokov was gifted with "synesthesia"—itself a mystery of consciousness—which he experienced as the ability to see sounds as sight, as colors? The sound made by the letter "K" for instance, is something he said he experienced as the color of huckleberry. What an extraordinary, colorful spectacle his own words on the page must have been to him. If only we could reproduce it as he saw it.
(By the way, one of the reasons I had reservations about the publication of Laura was that I worried people would review it as a finished book when in fact it was an early draft. What I didn't expect was that people who claimed to share these concerns went ahead and reviewed it as though it were a finished book, gleefully heaping scorn on Nabokov's less well-turned phrases.)
But even for those of us who don't have synesthesia, the pageant, the palette of consciousness is one of life's great unsolved mysteries. I was reminded of the vexing mystery of consciousness a few days before the Nabokov event when I found a link on the valuable Bookforum blog to an essay in the Philosophers' Magazine by Raymond Tallis, a philosopher whose regular critiques of Postmodernism and its metaphysics (especially those of Foucault) I'd admired for some years in the London Times Literary Supplement.
Here, in an essay titled "The Unnatural Selection of Consciousness," Tallis took on what he regards as the overconfident assumptions of some evolutionists, who argue that the problem of the evolution of consciousness will be solved the same way the problems of the evolution of the Panda's thumb or the beak of the finch had been.
Neither Tallis, an atheist, nor I, an agnostic, are anti-evolutionists. I hope science will one day offer an explanation for the emergence of awareness from unconscious matter. I'd like to know how consciousness is preserved, coded, and expressed by the genes, and whether we should then start worrying that consciousness is genetically determined, which therefore implies the impossibility of free will. Not to mention the answer to even more fundamental questions about consciousness, or more accurately awareness: What is it? That is, is it made up of the same elementary particles, the quarks that make up the rest of the universe? If not, what sort of material is it? Where does it exist? If it exists in the mind, is the mind contained in the brain? Does the mind differ from the brain? Is it determined by the brain and thus functionally nonindependent?
I'd be happy if science could explain all that. It would make for a simpler, less annoyingly mysterious world.
For some time, however, I have resigned myself to the so-called "Mysterian" position on this question offered by the Oxford-trained philosopher Colin McGinn, who argued in a illuminating book (melodramatically titled The Mysterious Flame) that we may never find an explanation of consciousness because (to oversimplify a bit) we are trapped within consciousness. One thing the book has going for it is its profound humility before the mystery it confronts.
Tallis takes on the problem from a different angle. He questions whether consciousness can be explained as an evolutionary development. Tallis points out that consciousness remains a mystery even to hard-core evolutionary scientists and cites a passage from the Darwinist/atheist Richard Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker:
"Cumulative selection, once it has begun, seems … powerful enough to make the evolution of intelligence probable, if not inevitable." Seems "powerful enough"? That doesn't sound very scientific. It sounds, in fact, like faith-based overconfidence in science, an admission that we have no answer, just hope that one will develop. Just as many religious types hope for the coming of the Messiah in a fiery apocalypse.

Stilt Guys[1], also known as Shy-Guys on Stilts[2], are a species of Shy Guys that walk on stilts.
Yoshi series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Stilt Guys first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The sixth level in World 1 is named after them and shows off many different colored versions. If they are jumped on, they lose their stilts, leaving them no choice but to walk with their feet. Yoshi can lick them but it will only bump them backwards. Bumping them into water will cause them to sink, but if the water is shallow they will slowly emerge on the shore.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
Stilt Guys also appeared in Yoshi's Story. Like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi had to land on their heads to make them fall off their stilts, leaving them no choice once again.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
The Stilt Guys also appear in Yoshi's Island DS, along with Big Guy the Stilted, a giant, mechanical Stilt Guy boss. This game also introduces Stilts as an item that Yoshi can use for himself.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
The Stilt Guys' most recent appearance is in Yoshi's New Island. Just like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, when they are on their stilts and Yoshi attempts to lick them they bump backwards. They need to be jumped on in order to be killed, just like in Yoshi's Story and in SMW2: Yoshi's Island.
Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Stilt Guys reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World made out of wool. If Yoshi throws a yarn ball at the stilts then the Stilt Guys won't be able to move.
Paper Mario[edit]
Stilt Guys also appeared in Paper Mario as the second part of the Shy Guy Army.

Wine is fine, especially when it's multiplied by twenty in contemporary artist Joe Esquibel's colorful, buoyant "Vino." Its eye-catching shapes and bright colors create a rhythmic repetition as they continue from one square to the next, and the fluid lines of the wine bottles hypnotize in their colorful, festive adaptations. Vino will add high spirits a home bar or kitchen.

In-demand with many major Hollywood studios for years, internationally published illustrative graphic artist Joe Esquibel has since chosen to focus on his real passion - illustration and fine art. His upbeat, light-hearted subjects range from nature's fresh spring flowers to man-made delights such as wine and cocktails featuring eye-catching hues, texture and rhythmic repetition that project a warm, handcrafted aura. Esquibel continues to pursue both of his artistic paths - fine art and graphic design from his home in Utah. Reportedly, his original work is still sought-after by entertainment trendsetters.

Hey Juliana. Is this the Parking Lot Wall?
Hey, cool perspective view. So that sex book is still there, eh? The pages just keep getting more and more ragged.
me too
Hey, I saw that view a few weeks ago. T'was nice.
Looks like Roni, but I can't tell exactly. So who's the climber, Trip?
Thanks Mr. Ed. Nice work, I might add. Glad you are working hard and puting in great long routes in the Potrero.
Duh-oh! Sorry Valeria. My mistake. :-)
More shots of Valeria coming soon.
So is this "Walk the Dog"? Kind of looks like it.
Man, this is a sweet photo! I love the texture of the rock. Without the person in the photo for scale, you have no idea the size of the cracks. So that's in Penitente, aye? Since it will be a short drive from the new place, woo hoo!
Thanks dude. Having a hell of a time taking photos in full shade, though. They do seem to clean up once scanned. The prints of this are lackluster. Got some new ones of Valeria today, some pretty nice.
Beats bouldering, that's for sure.
Hey cool! A very nicely composed New Wall photo. Hard climb for the likes of me.
Hey! These comment are red by children who need to learn how to spull and have grammur needs. You shuld have said, "Nice ass. Can I touch it?"
Wow, pretty impressive slab route there. Definitely not my cup of tea. Lead a few of those and pretty much felt sketched on every second of it. Nice lead.
That line is called Top Choice, and it's a real b*itch. I could barely follow it. So Gary looks like Mr. Bean and Nicholas Cage, eh? Heh. So who do you all resemble?
The first part of this climb is surprisingly doable. I was able to do it without hanging the first try by using pre clipped draws. The holds here are huge as are the feet and you can rest in several places. It's the crux higher up that shut me down again and again.
That's about a 28-30 ft. drop there at Thurmond Cove, but varies with the lake level. The water at that particular drop is very deep, so bottoming isn't a problem. Happy to say that I finally got to top out that line before I moved away.
Sill eeee.
Now this photo is clearly above an 8 in quality. You out there rating it lower are nuts. The water in the background is way cool. Nice image all around.
Just look at that sack, man.
What's the closest town to this route? I might have it in my guide book for the area.
Hey Kristen, resubmit this one larger. I want to use it for my screen saver slide show!
So there exists another climb named Mr. Slate. Looks even better than the Texas one.
There's some bolted climbs here and there, some of them quite old. You should see the manky bolts below Wolf Mountain on the bluffs.
Very cool.
Is there a bouldering problem on that brick wall behind the girl? Am I missing something?
The sphere is named "Rover" and it is a guard of the island. Just try to leave and you'll see.
damn window washing panhandlers.
That pictures looks like the scene at a hobo convention underneath any municipal bridge. It takes years of experience to acheive that. Good work.
Looking forward to the trip, Tracey.
Ha ha ha! This is hilarious.
Now I have to go out and buy some beer.
Wait. He's missing a bottle of Shiner Bock, spirited through the border of course.
Standard Texas Belay. Chuff4Lyfe.
Is dinglestyle related to dingus? Dingles are showing up everywhere. Nice to see the ladies objectifying some men.
Those don't look edible, but they are pretty. I have some pics of the edible kind, mostly from the boletus family. They grow that big and larger. The gills are more sponge-like with no ribs.
Kate The Taunter. And this picture is weird? Pfffft.
Nice picture. Good, sunny weather makes the sky look nice. You be in a Madrock ad for sure.
Bob Monson
Burt Bronson
is there a connection?
That's a pretty windy summit as it is. To walk a slackline between those peaks is pretty impressive.
Very cool point of view. And the little chalk smudges at least give some form to the black clothing. Next time you take photos, you might want to wear something brighter.
The photo has been solarized, yo. Old skool photomanip now easily done with the P-shop. Looks cool.
Is this dawn or dusk lighting? It's nice to see some warm colors.
Very cool shot.
Short compared to other routes in Colorado, but a feckin' long one compared to Texas routes. Ha ha ha. Lucky bastids.
What are you talking about, kman? The camera isn't tilted at all. Or were you joking?
Very nice lighting in a traditionally bad setting of full shade. It's great when that warm light hits the subject just so.
From the thumbnail I thought this was going to be a shot of a boulder wearing a pad walking into the scenery. Ha! Such a beautiful area. No wonder you guys were giddy.

Report from Sri Lanka: Parliamentary Elections
August 26, 2015
After a hotly contested campaign, Parliamentary elections in Sri Lanka concluded peacefully last week in a vote hailed by local and international observers as one of the most free, fair, and peaceful in Sri Lanka's recent history. The 70 percent turnout fell short of last January's 82 percent, possibly due to the monsoon rain that arrived two hours before polls closed on Monday, August 17.

Election Revives Sri Lanka's Democratic Spirit
January 14, 2015
This past week the citizens of Sri Lanka demonstrated their extraordinary resilience by voting overwhelmingly for a new president. Belying all fears of large-scale violence on election day, the voting process was exceptionally smooth, with a record turnout of 81.5 percent at the polling centers. Just one month ago, it seemed that incumbent President Mahinda Rajapaksa would coast to an easy victory and retain his authoritarian hold on Sri Lanka's electorate once again. But his electoral calculations went awry with the emergence of a worthy rival from his own camp, former Minister of Health, Maithripala Sirisena, who was put forward in November as the "common candidate" by a suddenly rejuvenated opposition.

may cause a birth defect or make a reproduction harm
Posted by mudanzas-valencia on Apr 07, 2016
is ok but no strong product, but the roduct work very good, but the main problema is may cause a birth defect or make a reproduction harm.
Very effective!
Posted by CookForHealthNL on Aug 31, 2015
The keyword in my fight against Lyme disease and HPU is detoxing.... I have been using the kidney cleanse for 1 week (taking twice a day one capsule instead of the recommended 3 times 2) and already after 2 days my urin was clear instead of cloudy, the doctor measured less blood in my urin after a week and my backpain disappeared. I do recommend the product, but use it wisely in consultation with your doctor, since already a small dose may cause huge effects.
afraid to take
Posted by AluaAlua on Apr 13, 2015
when I ordered this,there was nothing written about the chemicals that may cause a birth defect or make a reproduction harm... yesterday when I received my order and saw this warning on the bottle, I was sooo upset for not being informed beforehand.
Thank You

My mother purchased this product from a different company, but they stopped carrying it. Luckily I chanced upon your website and found exactly what she was looking for, at a lower price and much more reasonable shipping. Many Thanks

Have this constant pressure on my kidneys. Tought I have kidney stones and bought me a kidney stone breaker tincture. That didn't work, so I bought this and tried it for 3 days. Must say it felt a little better, but I am a bad patient. When I feel better then I stop instead taking the recommended treatment. So I guess I need to pick it up again and finish it. If I feel really the difference then I change the rating to 5.
