Here are answers to some common questions about converting files before sync in Windows Media Player. If you don't see your question listed here, see Windows Media Player FAQ.
No. Conversion occurs only if your device requires files to be converted to a quality level and/or format that is optimized for playback on the device. Conversion does not affect the original file.
For some older devices, it is possible to turn conversion off. However, it is not possible to do so for a device that supports the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), because an MTP device accurately reports to the Player whether conversion is required to ensure that you can play files on the device. If you do have a device for which you can turn conversion off, keep in mind that doing so may prevent the device from being able to play files or may cause the device to behave unexpectedly if you sync files that exceed the device's capabilities. For these reasons, you should typically allow files to be converted before sync. If you do want to turn conversion off for a device that supports it, do the following:
Click the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device, and then click Advanced Options.
The properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Click the Quality tab, and then clear the Convert music, pictures, videos, and TV shows as required check box.
Typically, you should allow the Player to select the quality level automatically, to ensure that your device can play the files. If you want to sync files to your device at a higher quality level, check your device's documentation first to verify what quality level the device supports. Also, note that if you sync a file that is below the quality level you have specified, the file will sync at its existing quality level (its quality level will not increase). To adjust the quality level for converted files, do the following:
The properties dialog box for your device is displayed. Click the Quality tab, and then select the quality settings you want for music and video. (It is not possible to specify a quality setting for converting pictures.) The actual bit rate of the file might be slightly different than the bit rate you select.
You can also choose to have the Player use additional computing power to increase the quality of converted video files by doing the following:
Click the arrow below the Sync tab, and then click More Options.
Click Advanced.
In the File Conversion Options dialog box, select the Choose quality over speed when converting video (increases the conversion time) check box.
Yes. If you have set up your device to sync automatically, you can turn on background conversion. When you do so, any files that require conversion before they can sync will be converted in the background, which reduces the time it takes to sync. By default, background conversion is turned on for video files. To turn on background conversion for audio files, do the following:
In the File Conversion Options dialog box, select the Allow audio files to convert in the background check box.
Once you have turned it on, background conversion will start when all of the following occur:
Player is running and your computer has been idle (no mouse or keyboard input) for 10 minutes.
Your device is disconnected from the computer. (If the device is connected, the Player will convert and sync the files.)
Your computer is plugged in (rather than running on battery power).
Once conversion starts, you can use your computer again. The Player must continue to run while conversion takes place, but you can minimize it to the Windows taskbar. The conversion process runs at idle priority, which means that conversion uses all of your computer's unused processor capacity, but should not affect your use of the computer. Conversion will stop when any of the following occur:
All files have been converted.
You exit the Player.
The folder that stores converted files reaches the specified disk space.
The computer switches to battery power (conversion will resume when you plug the computer in again).

Instant Ramen is better than Ramen you cook
Instant Ramen is better than Ramen you cook
you've gone a little mad!
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
i'd agree if spicy pork ramen didn't exist to shift my taste buds. you'd say it's the best ramen you'd ever had.
hicky im sorry old pal but if you don't already know then you dont deserve too. sorry. oh, and i agree with you tim. insta ramens great
I do, but I only found out about 1 month ago per ruling of Fullmetal
well, fuck. of course it is. i hate the kind you cook... its too noodley or somthing. plus instant is faster and comes w/ vegetables and meat chunks
veggies and meat chunks? bleh/puke. nothing can compare to noodles and broth. cooked its not too noodley, theres somethin up with the noodles. ever wonder why they call it oodles of noodles? or is that just where i live?
somehow, I like non-cooked ramen better
you eat the dry clumps of ramen? eww, CL, that's like eating uncooked spaghetti straws
CL can't afford wasting his heat on food with the cold climate he's in.
I actually like to cursh the bag repeatedly with a hammer, then pour in the flavor pack, shake, and eat. Its the best snack to have. But be warned, use your hands to eat it and theyll smell really bad for the rest of the day. You cannot possibly remove the strong stench of pork or chicken from your fingers.
I use something else than a hammer but other than that that's exactly what I do o.o
pichubro: meh it's -10°C now
I just crush it, don't ask how since i havent ate ramen since a long time; dry ramen aren't allowed at school and the only soup i eat more than once per month is horrible chicken/noodles lipton soup.
Omg you guys really think i use a hammer? All you need is a pair of hands..
i like to act chinese and eat mine with chopsticks ^_^
you're a disgrace to arians everywhere.
cl, why the hell won't they allow dry ramen? do they have something against japanese foods?
Hm, well dsx, i wasn't sure what to think when he said "arians" rather than " asians". I didnt know wtf he was saying.
You want some too Azn? Ive got PLENTY TO GO AROUND!

|Vandal women come up short
BOULDER, Colo. - The Idaho women's basketball team battled for the full 40 minutes, but came up short of its first win of the 2012-13 season, falling to Colorado 70-65 on Sunday afternoon.
Stacey Barr's 3-pointer with 16 second left made it a 3-point game, but the Buffaloes (1-0) sealed the game from the free-throw line. The loss drops Idaho to 0-2 on the season after falling to Wyoming in the season-opener on Friday.
Colorado led by as many as 11 points in the game and 10 midway through the second half before Idaho made it close for the final six minutes. Idaho cut the lead to one with two and a half minutes left, at 61-60 on a layup from Ali Forde, but Colorado scored the next seven points to go ahead 68-60 in the final 20 seconds. Two free throws from Alyssa Charlston and Barr's three-pointer made it a one possession game before Colorado clinched the victory in its season-opener.
"As disappointed as I was in Friday's effort, we had the effort we needed and then some tonight," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "We had a great practice last night and really came out and competed. We battled and competed and had a good shot to win this basketball game. We'll keep getting better."
Four Idaho players scored in double figures, led by 16 points from junior Alyssa Charlston on 5-of-8 shooting. Sophomore Stacey Barr had 15 points, hit 3-of-8 3-pointers and added a game-high nine rebounds. Freshman Connie Ballestero added 11 points on 5-of-16 shooting and sophomore Krissy Karr scored 10. Freshman Christina Salvatore scored seven points and added four rebounds and a game-high four assists.
In addition to her 15 points and nine rebounds, Barr drew three offensive fouls against Colorado and went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in 22 minutes off the bench.
"She got a wake-up call by not starting and played the way she usually plays," Newlee said. "That's the Stacey Barr we're used to seeing. Everybody played hard tonight, I'm proud of them."
The Vandals shot 35 percent from the field for the game, hitting 22-of-63 shots including 8-of-26 (31 percent) 3-pointers. Colorado shot 41 percent from the field and hit 5-of-14 3-pointers. The Vandals committed 19 turnovers, leading to 19 points for Colorado, while turning 18 CU turnovers into 20 points. Idaho hit 13-of-16 free throws in the game.
Colorado dominated on the boards, out-rebounding Idaho 46-37 and 16-14 on the offensive end, aiding its 15-9 advantage in second-chance points. The Buffaloes also outscored Idaho 32-20 in the paint and 8-0 on the fast break.
Colorado's Brittany Wilson scored a game-high 18 points on 4-of-11 shooting and an 8-for-8 performance at the free throw line. Arielle Roberson added 16 points for the Buffaloes.
Idaho's starting lineup consisted of three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior, as Forde, Salvatore and Ballestero all got the starting nod.
Idaho returns to action for a three-game home-stand, beginning with its home-opener against Portland on Nov. 16. The Vandals also host Montana on Nov. 18 and Eastern Washington on Nov. 27.

"Adequate compensation for the disabilities and loss of life caused by the disasters along with safe building and working conditions were the major themes I heard from the garment factory workers in Bangladesh immediately after Thanksgiving."
Monsignor Kevin Sullivan
In a front-page story published just yesterday in The New York Times, reporter Jim Yardley documents how those living after the collapse are still struggling to make ends meet. Even though the Bangladeshi government, local associations and overseas retailers have provided short-term compensation to survivors and loved ones, many still require financial support.
Last month, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan was invited to visit garment factories in Dhaka, Bangladesh with a delegation of New Yorkers that included Tom DiNapoli, New York State Comptroller, and Stuart Appelbaum the head of the RWDSU (Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.)
The delegation met with surviving workers of the Rana Plaza factory collapse as well as family members of those who perished, labor leaders and retailers tied to the factory. More than 1,100 workers' lives were lost nearly eight months ago.
"Our trip was intended to meet with the various sectors involved in the garment industry, the workers themselves, organizers, brand names and government officials to learn about what was going on," Monsignor Sullivan told Catholic New York. RanaPlaza survivors and family members of the workers killed had a number of concerns regarding reforming building and work space conditions and receiving adequate compensation from the disaster.

"In a day and age when lists to Santa Claus include iPads and game consoles , Catholic Charities St. Nicholas Project is much more basic," reports Carol D'Auria from 1010 WINS Radio in her live report this week from Kmart at Astor Place.
Cardinal Dolan says volunteers with Catholic Charities (that hosted the event) don't shop for toys but for things that people really need like socks, coats and pajamas.
"We are at our best; we are acting the way God our father intends us when we give ourselves away in love and service to somebody else and that's what Christmas is all about."
This volunteer said the list of needy families is growing. "We have over 200 more individuals to shop for this year than last year and it's a really amazing way to reflect on what's really important around the holidays.
Each shopper spent $200 for a family of four.
Catch the full story on CBS News and 1010 WINS.
"I love the fact that some tiny, simple thing that I'm doing is maybe going to help keep somebody warm and bring a smile to some kid's face underneath the Christmas tree on Christmas morning," Cardinal Timothy Dolan tells the New York Post.

Two of the three city offices for the Town of Almyra were found to be in substantial compliance with Arkansas fiscal and financial laws during a legislative audit for 2010 and 2011.
The state audit, released last week, indicated that both the town's offices for recorder/treasurer and police chief were in compliance while the mayor's office needed an additional audit.
"OMB Circular A-133 requires Town management to obtain a federal compliance audit when federal expenditures exceed $500,000," the audit read. "The Town had in excess of $500,000 in federal expenditures in 2011 and did not obtain a federal compliance audit as required.
"The Town could be responsible for repayment of federal expenditures if instances of noncompliance are noted during a federal compliance audit," the audit read.
Mayor Mark Bennett said the federal compliance audit was completed just before its deadline and received approval.
In 2011, Almyra's total receipts were $47,155 in general fund and $671,065 in special revenue funds. Federal aid was $543,737 in special revenue funds, an increase from $59,824 in 2010.
The federal funding in question was used to bring the Almyra Municipal Airport up to code so it would meet the minimum Federal Aviation Administration's standards. The work included widening the runway and putting in pilot control lighting systems, and was completed in mid-2012

Carrie Underwood backstage interview at the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions at the Barclays Center in New York City on April 10, 2014. Carrie Underwood performed in tribute to 2014 Inductee Linda Ronstadt and talks about how Linda Ronstadt influenced her singing and style as a performer.
"So many incredible inductees tonight. Linda Ronstadt has definitely had an impact on my music and has been involved different genres in music. I mean, she really is the kind of person that I feel like we all strive for our careers to be like. Well I'm kind of in just about everything Linda Ronstadt tonight. I'm singing "Different Drum" myself and then, it's kind of like through out the act we kind of add more and more people and we all end up singing together; so were doing everything from "Different Drum" to "When Will I Be Loved" and "Blue Bayou" and "You're No Good." It's such a cool, cool thing, and it's so cool to look around me and see all these wonderful strong women, and Glenn Frey. I can't believe that I'm actually getting to stand on that stage."

Crick's PragmatismTuesday, May 31, 2011 7:40 PM
In the next few blogs I'll tell you about some of my early encounters with Francis Crick. Although the quotes are from Crick, it may well be that in some cases he was quoting others. They are also from my memory, which isnt always 100% reliable.
When Crick began his foray into the field of consciousness in the early 1980's he would sometimes give informal seminars on the topic to small groups. I remember one such occasion when Crick had barely started his seminar and a philosopher in the audience raised his hand saying " Dr Crick, what exactly do you MEAN by the word consciousness? Can you first define it before you start talking about it?" Crick's reply was, " No, not at this stage. There was never a time in the history of biology when a group of us sat around the table saying 'Lets first DEFINE life before studying it.' We just went out there and found out what it was—a double helix. We leave matters of semantic hygiene to you philosophers."
|Double Helix, courtesy James Gaither
A pithy way of saying science is an intensely pragmatic affair. Of course it's a good idea to know roughly what you are talking about, but sometimes precise definitions FOLLOW conceptual clarity—not vice versa. Crick's advice is well taken but should not be used as an excuse for shoddy thinking. (I expand on this theme in several endnotes in my new book Tell Tale Brain)
Crick would also often point out that one must scrupulously avoid getting caught up in the elegance or technical sophistication of an experiment; what matters most of all is if you end up proving what you set out to prove: so what?—what is its broader significance? He often quoted someone as having said "If an experiment is not worth doing, it's not worth doing well."
In fact, on one occasion, a rather pedantic experimental psychologist was telling him about a long complicated experiment he had done, incorporating all the proper controls and using considerable technical virtuosity. When he saw Crick's exasperated expression he said "but Dr. Crick, we have got it RIGHT—we know its right," Crick's response was, "The point is not whether it's right. The point is: does it even MATTER whether its right or wrong?"
Here again, that intense pragmatism.

Relishing Role Of Underdog, Princeton Readies To Host Ivy Championships
LIVE RESULTS l LIVE VIDEO l MEET MOBILE INFORMATION
The Ivy League Swimming & Diving Championships are rarely predictable, but the upcoming 2013 conference weekend could prove to be as wild and exciting as any in recent memory.
The 2013 Ivy championships will return to DeNunzio Pool Feb. 28-March 2. Tickets will be sold at the door (prices are available at the bottom of this story). The meet will be streamed online by the Ivy League, and live results will be available both online and on mobile devices (see links above). With Meet Mobile, the full meet data is $1.99. This includes heat sheets, instant results, and full splits.
Harvard will enter the weekend as both the defending champion and favorite, following its undefeated run during the Ivy League regular season. For Princeton, playing the role of hunter, especially inside its own home pool, is just fine.
While top-end talent often determines dual meets, an Ivy championship weekend demands the best from every member of the conference roster. Every swimmer is eligible to swim in three individual events, as well as four relays. There are six sessions, with preliminaries in the morning (11 am) and finals at night (6 pm).
While the finals sessions may be the most dramatic, the preliminaries are just as important. The slowest swimmers of any 'A' final will outscore the fastest in a 'B' final, regardless of those evening times. Hence, the more 'A' finalists than 'B', and the more 'B' than 'C', the greater your odds of that celebratory swim Saturday night.
Princeton head coach Susan Teeter, who has led the Tigers to 10 Ivy League titles in the last 13 years, has consistently praised the increasing depth of talent within the Ivy League over the last few years. Several of those teams have already put forth impressive performances this season, and half of the league has at least five wins Ivy duals.
But the past won't mean anything when the first swimmer touches the water Thursday morning. From there, it's eight teams, six sessions and one goal.
Princeton has a strong mix of both championship experience and impressive youth within its lineup, and it will need the best of both to be in the championship race Saturday night.
Three of the most crucial veterans will be key figures in the free events (both individual and relay). Junior Lisa Boyce has won four individual events over her first two years, including a perfect three-for-three performance at the 2012 championships. She is the reigning Ivy champion in the 50 free and 100 free, as well as the 100 back, and she has top-three times in all three events heading into this weekend.
Seniors Carter Stephens and Jillian Altenburger are both looking to end their Princeton careers with Ivy championships. Stephens, who teamed with Kathy Qu as co-captains this season, has reached the championship final of the 50 free two straight years. Altenburger is a former 200 free champion, and she comes into the weekend with the top time in that event, as well as the third-best time in the 500. Altenburger comes into the championship weekend with wins in both HYP (500 free) and the Columbia (200 free) meets.
While Altenburger should be a major contender in the 500, Princeton will rely on distance specialists Maureen McCotter and India Boland in the three longest events (500, 1000, mile). McCotter has placed as high as second in both the 1000 and the mile, while Boland is part of the highly touted Class of 2016 who will be making their Ivy Championships debut this weekend.
Besides Boyce, the two-time reigning champion in the 100, there will be some top-notch freshmen competing for Ivy titles in the two backstroke events. Harvard freshman Kendall Crawford has the top times in both the 100 and 200, while Princeton newcomer Sada Stewart is just behind in both. Those two look like the top contenders in the 200, though Boyce will certainly have plenty to say about the 100.
Sophomore Shirley Wang will also play a key role in both events, as she will be looking to displace a deep Crimson contingent in this stroke.
The breaststroke events may be the deepest among the Ivy League field. Six of the eight schools have a Top 10 time in the 100, while five have a Top 5 time in the 200. Senior Sarah Furgatch has made two 'A' finals in the 200 during her career, while sophomore Cara Slear has Top 10 times in both events this year. Both Slear and classmate Emily Yu will look to break into the 'A' finals in both events.
Both Stephens and a terrific trio of freshmen will lead the way in the 100 and 200 fly. Stephens has never finished below sixth in a 100 or 200 fly final, and she has placed in the top four of the 100 in each of the last three years. Stewart and freshman teammates Nikki Larson and Beverly Ngyuen could also look to break into the 'A' finals; Stewart has a Top 3 time in the 100, while Nguyen has a Top 4 time in the 200. Larson is in the Top 10 in both, and she has the versatility to give Teeter options in both the fly and free events.
Both Stewart and Nguyen could also be used in the IM events; Nguyen brings Top 5 times into both events, while Stewart is sixth in the 200.
Diving has often played a major role in these championship weekends, and Princeton coach Greg Gunn has had a knack for getting his divers to peak at the right time. Junior Rachel Zambrowicz is a former Ivy League Championships Diver of the Meet; her performance in 2011 helped Princeton win the league title. Junior Randi Brown is coming off a victory at Columbia, while freshman Helen Zitkovsky had an impressive showing during H-Y-P weekend.
However, recent championship meets have shown that you can't discount a Princeton senior. After championship efforts from Carolyn Littlefield and Christina Kirkwood over the last two years, there should be plenty of optimism from the likes of Courtney Fieldman, Katelyn Perry and Bryna Tsai.
Tickets will be sold at the door. An all-session pass, which includes heat sheets, is $30. Single-session tickets for adults are $4 for a preliminary session and $6 for a finals session. Children and University students (with ID) can get tickets for $1 (preliminaries) and $3 (finals).
A heat sheet is $1, while a meet program is $2.
The schedule for the weekend is as follows:
THURSDAY (Prelims at 11; Finals at 6)
1) 200 Free Relay
2) 500 Free
4) 50 Free
5) 1-Meter Diving
6) 400 Medley Relay

My husband, Jerome Protasio, and I are running for Team Catholic Charities in the NYC ING Marathon.
I started running seriously about three years ago. Running makes me healthier. It has allowed me lots of bonding time with my husband as we run around the Philippines where we live and even in other countries such as in the upcoming NYC ING Marathon.
I'm a physician by profession and I advocate a healthy, active lifestyle for everyone I meet including my patients. This resolve became even stronger when my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. I knew I had to keep my body and mind healthy.
That's why more than ten years ago I decided to find time to exercise regularly. I tried several fitness regimens, but it was running that captivated me. I found it challenging. Running gives me a certain "high", relieves stress and keeps me alert. It tested my self-discipline and endurance level.
This time I will be running not only for my advocacy but to raise funds for the Catholic Charities of New York. This charity's mission is to provide a healthy environment for those in need. A perfect fit to my personal mission. This is my way of giving back to God for the gift of life and health.

December 13, 2010
When I was a senior in college (in upstate New York), I traveled to Los Angeles for a week to look for jobs in the entertainment industry. My roommate at the time joined me, and how it was that we convinced both sets of parents that this was a) a good idea and b) would result in an actual job, was beyond me. But we dumped frequent flyer miles and off we went to conquer the west. It should come as no surprise that Hollywood big shots had no interest in meeting with us, let alone hiring us, but we did have a few very productive "informational interviews" with some of the most harried assistants in show business.
We also shopped, naturally, and my prize purchase was a pair of black cowboy boots. I had seen a celebrity wearing something similar at some event and I deemed them a must-buy. I promise you I wore them every single day for three years. Rain or shine. Hot or cold. With jeans, skirts or black pants. I loved them, until the above aforementioned roommate did a fashion intervention and told me I had to move on. Immediately. Because styles change and what once looked cool was starting to look really wrong. Buh-bye my trusty western friends…
This is all a long way of saying that it may be time to reevaluate your boot collection, and have I got an idea for you: Over-the-knee-boots. Before you bombard me with the I'm-too-old's, and the I'm-too-short's, stop and listen. They're EVERYWHERE this season, in all different varieties (lots of textures and colors, with hardware or not, many different heights, hi heeled or flat), and I have seen with my own two eyes that they can look great on all ages and sizes. I think they work best over leggings or skinny jeans, and my favorites are styles that allow you to wear them up over the knee (edgy), or folded down (traditional). I also love them with shorter skirts (the scroll down: skirt, a few inches of textured tight, boot) if you have the legs for it and also the lifestyle (corporate job? Not so much). I'm telling you, try on a pair before you judge me a buffoon, and if you are at all in doubt of the strong style statement they make, go for simple, unadorned, black calf skin and enjoy warm, sexy legs all winter long.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Bottle Volcanic brings innovative sounds to Ziggy's
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 10:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 10:46 a.m.
The songs on Wilmington rock band A Bottle Volcanic's debut album "Away with Funeral Music" began their journey three years ago.
Who: ASG, with A Bottle Volcanic
and No Labels Fit
When: 8 p.m. doors, 9 p.m.
show, Friday, Sept. 13
Where: Ziggy's by the Sea, 208
Market St., downtown Wilmington
Tickets: $7, $10 for those under
Details: 769-4096 or
Singer and guitarist Mike Edwards was working on music for a solo project at home in 2010, but those songs grew into something larger, culminating in full band arrangements.
"It really added a lot," said Edwards, whose band will play an album release show on Friday at Ziggy's by the Sea with local acts ASG and No Labels Fit.
"When I started playing with these guys I couldn't believe how huge the songs became. I wished that I had done it sooner."
A Bottle Volcanic began when Edwards started talking to guitarist Corey Ahouse, who then approached drummer Charlie Smith (local hard rock bands Reason to Ignite, monkeykniferfight) about playing on the project.
"I took an interest in it, mostly because Corey and I are cousins," Smith said. "We've been talking about starting a band together for many years."
Adding more musicians led to an experimental rock sound. Smith's playing, for one, is far removed from his work with previous bands.
"Playing in punk and heavier bands most of my life, I still play with a ton of energy," Smith said. "A Bottle Volcanic definitely challenges me (to) play ...with more of a consistent tempo."
The band's name originated with a lyric Edwards wrote three years ago.
"It represents the ability to be dynamic and slowly build things from the ground up," Edwards said. "People have told me it puts different images in their head. I also like that people have no idea what to expect when they see us the first time."
"Away with Funeral Music" unfolds as a uniform piece. Songs connect to one another, a decision inspired by psychedelic rock band Circulatory System, The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" and The Beatles' White Album, all favorites of Edwards.

ZF-6176: Zend_Locale_Format: isFloat() fails since Rev. 14170
After an upgrade from zf 1.7.5 to 1.7.6
the following test fails:
ZF v1.7.5
var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat('')) => false // ok var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat(null)) => false // ok
ZF v1.7.6
var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat('')) => true // should be false var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat(null)) => true // should be false var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat(' ')) => false // ok
isFloat() returns true for empty strings or null values, which is a changed behavior compared to the previous version and should be fixed asap. Same for isInteger().
Localized to de_DE, the following also fails:
var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat(',')); -> fails with the Exception "No value in , found"
var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat('')) -> fails with "No value in found"... in what? The message says nothing at all.
var_dump(Zend_Locale_Format::isFloat('.')); returns false which seems ok
Note that the second is a independently issue. (empty is not a sign within a special locale).
Please do no throw multiple issues within one issue. This is irritating and does not help solving them.
Fixed with r14577

The Salt Slurry Generator reduces the amount of road salt usage per lane mile — and residual salt buildup — while maximizing salt efficiency. How it works: Rock salt or other free-flowing materials are conveyed or auger-fed to the machine. The roller mill section grinds the salt into fine particles, which are then sprayed with a liquid brine to create a slurry mixture. The slurry is dispersed in a variable pattern on the road surface via spinning disc assembly. This process increases salt volume by 25%. Plus, the brine process activates faster, thus melting snow and ice faster. Monroe Truck Equipment. www.monroetruck.com.

Penn Social Learning Disorders Program
Assessment of SLD
Individuals with social learning disorders like Asperger's Syndrome present with a wide variety of strengths and needs. Our comprehensive evaluation includes a thorough assessment of a client's developmental history, current psychological, social, behavioral, and adaptive functioning, and future goals. An in-depth clinical interview and standardized behavior checklists are used to determine specific social skill deficits, gaps in social learning, barriers to independence, and maladaptive behavior patterns that may be maintaining or exacerbating core symptoms. Where appropriate, family members and other significant others may also provide historical data and contribute information to help clarify referral concerns. Medical problems and/or other psychiatric conditions that may accompany an social learning disorder such as depression, anxiety, avoidance, difficulties processing environmental stimulation, obsessive thoughts and rituals, and difficulties with attention and executive function are also identified.
A client seeking evaluation will typically undergo an initial phone screening, fill out a home information packet, participate in a two-hour assessment interview, and receive a written report and verbal feedback in a face-to-face follow-up session. For clients seeking treatment for specific stressors and/or skill deficits, a ten to twelve week treatment plan targeting mutually agreed upon goals will be developed and discussed at the feedback session. Other services such as community-based and employment setting observations and/or consultations may be available as well.
For more information about our program, please call our intake coordinator at (215) 573-1159.

"Suspension of Nuclear Activities Is Not End of Diversion Risks"
Conference Paper
By David Nusbaum, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
A long-standing goal of diplomacy with Iran is persuading Iran to suspend its enrichment operations while it clarifies its past activities and while negotiations proceed on a more permanent resolution to the nuclear crisis. However, there is problem in using suspension of nuclear material production as a negotiating step: The technical details of suspension have never been clearly defined. The international community needs to be aware of the diversion risks during a suspension of enrichment activities and should mitigate these risks by including the necessary verification measures during negotiations and signing of any agreement on suspension.

"Is Suspension the Solution?"
Op-Ed, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
By David Nusbaum, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
When the United States and North Korea reached agreement on nuclear matters in February, the suspension of uranium enrichment was rightly hailed as one of the arrangement's great successes, but there are no international regulations that define what suspension of nuclear activities entails or how it should be monitored and enforced. The international community needs to be aware of diversion risks during suspension of enrichment and should require the dismantlement and sealing of equipment in sensitive areas as part of suspension agreements.

"Smashing Atoms for Peace: Using Linear Accelerators to Produce Medical Isotopes without Highly Enriched Uranium"
Policy Brief
By David Nusbaum, Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
Accelerators can eventually be substituted for nuclear research reactors for the production of medical isotopes and for neutron-based research and other applications. The use of accelerators would reduce dependence on HEU and decrease the resulting risks. The United States and other countries should work together to provide the funding and exchange of information and ideas needed to speed up the development, demonstration, and deployment of technically and economically viable accelerator technologies to substitute for research reactors.

Registration and Enrollment in Courses
Registration Procedures
Eligible students can register, drop, add, and list their courses through WyoRecords. To insure that students have seen an adviser, access numbers for each semester's registration are distributed through the academic advisers. Directions for registration are contained in the appropriate Class Schedule. Class Schedules are available online no later than one week prior to advising week. Students are responsible for following directions and deadlines contained in the Class Schedules.
The following categories of continuing students in good standing or on academic probation are eligible to register for the semesters indicated:
1. For the fall semester:
a. All students who were enrolled the previous fall or spring semester.
b. Summer session students cleared by the Admissions Office for fall. (This does not include those admitted for summer only.)
2. For the spring semester:
All students who were enrolled the previous spring or fall semester.
3. For the summer session:
Students who were enrolled the previous summer, fall, or spring semester.
All other applicants and students should complete admission requirements by the admission deadline. (Refer to the sections on undergraduate and graduate admissions in this bulletin for deadlines.)
All information requested during admission and registration is important to the student and to the university and should be kept accurate and complete. If a student's address, telephone, major, adviser, or other vital information changes after enrollment, the Office of the Registrar should be informed without delay.
Academic Adviser
Academic advising is a decision-making process involving a partnership between the academic adviser and the student (advisee). In this partnership, issues and questions regarding personal, professional, and educational goals are examined and evaluated. This includes, but is not limited to, planning an appropriate course of study and the scheduling of classes.
The purpose of academic advising is to promote rational, informed, and independent choices by the student. To that end, the academic adviser is a significant link for the student to other resources in the university community. Students are expected to take the initiative in developing the adviser-advisee relationship and to assume an ever-increasing role in developing their own academic, career, and personal goals.
Change of Registration
Modification of a course schedule during the drop/add time period is accomplished through WyoRecords. After the end of the drop/add period, the course withdrawal process must be completed. This can be accomplished through WyoRecords. Changes to a student's registration or withdrawals are not official until the processes are completed as prescribed.
The period of time allowed for modifying a student's schedule or withdrawing during the summer session or other special terms is established in regulations or by the registrar, subject to the approval of the vice president for academic affairs.
During the fall and/or spring semester(s):
- Dropping a class or changing sections: A student may drop classes or change sections of the same course during the first eight class days of the semester (four class days for blocked courses).
- Adding a course or changing grading option: A student may add classes or change grading options or hours in variable-credit courses during the first ten class days of the semester (five class days for blocked courses).
- Withdrawal from a course: After the designated drop/add period, students may officially withdraw from individual regular term courses until 10 class days after mid-semester. They may withdraw from blocked courses until five class days after the middle of the course. A mark of W will be assigned indicating withdrawal.
- Withdrawal from the university (termination of enrollment): A student may terminate all fall or spring semester enrollments if formal procedures are completed through the Office of Student Life prior to the last 15 calendar days of the semester. A mark of W is assigned to each course, indicating official termination for that semester.
Choice of College and Major
The academic adviser is an excellent source of information about the adviser's professional field for students who have selected a major. Students who are undecided about the selection of a college and/or major and who seek specialized assistance in choosing educational and vocational objectives should contact the Center for Advising and Career Services. These units have programs designed to help the undeclared student acquire the tools to make an intelligent decision regarding an appropriate major discipline.
Change of College, Major, or Adviser
Students who wish to change their college, major, or adviser should obtain the appropriate form from either the Office of the Registrar or the office of the dean of the college of their current enrollment. Students wishing to transfer from one college to another must secure the signatures of both their present and future deans. Graduate students need the approval of the college dean and the head of the department to which the student is transferring. After all appropriate signatures have been obtained, the student should take the form to the Office of the Registrar.
Students who have completed their undergraduate work at the university and who wish to embark upon a graduate program, even through continuing their graduate work in the same field they pursued as undergraduates, will need to apply for graduate admission. (Refer to the section on graduate admission in this bulletin for deadlines.)

Credit Hour Load
Undergraduates: An average of 15 hours of work each semester is considered a normal load. Maximum credit loads are 20 hours in all colleges. Normally, not more than 12 hours of undergraduate credit may be earned during the summer session. An approved Overload Petition form must be filed to exceed these maximums. Overload Petition forms are available online or from the Office of the Registrar.
Graduate students: 14 hours of credit is the average and 16 hours the maximum amount of credit allowed per semester for full-time graduate students. A student who has been assigned an assistantship for the academic year is usually restricted to a load of 13 semester hours. Normally, not more than 8 hours of credit may be earned in course work during an eight-week summer session. An approved Overload Petition form must be filed to exceed these maximums. Overload Petition forms are available online or from the Office of the Registrar.
Auditing a Course
The privilege of non-credit enrollment in a class is available, upon approval of the adviser and the instructor, to any university student. The auditing privilege is subject to the same fee schedule as credit courses. Auditors are expected to attend class regularly and complete such graded work as required by the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to determine and fulfill the requirements for a satisfactory audit. Though this auditing privilege carries full rights of class participation, it definitely offers no academic credit, does not count toward full- or part-time status, and will result in a mark of satisfactory (SA/S) or unsatisfactory (UA/U). Subsequent credit for the course by special examination is not available.
Graduate Credit for Seniors
Undergraduate students taking graduate-level courses which are not in any way a part of their undergraduate degree have the option of later using such courses for purposes beyond the bachelor's degree requirements. If the student intends to pursue a graduate degree or needs the courses noted on the academic transcript as reserved for graduate credit for job classification (i.e. advancement on teacher salary schedules, etc.) the student should file a petition. The petition should be filed by midterm of the semester which is requested. The petition form is available on the Office of the Registrar Graduate Student Forms website. Courses may not be retroactively reserved once a semester has ended.
Repeating a Course
Students may repeat course work; however, credit earned in any given course (or equivalent course) is applicable toward a degree requirement only once. All grade entries remain on the student's record, but only the last grade earned will be calculated in the UW cumulative grade point average. Refer to the Cumulative Grade Point Average section of this bulletin for further information. Variable-credit courses are not considered as repeats unless the department head provides written certification that the course content was, in fact, repeated. Courses repeated will remain as entries on the academic transcript. Courses applied towards one completed degree may be repeated as part of a second degree; however, the grade and grade point average in the original degree will not be changed. A student is limited to a maximum of three (3) attempts in any course at the University of Wyoming. An "attempt" includes any instance in which the student earns a grade for the course or withdraws from the course. The three-attempt limit does not apply to courses identified in the University Catalog as being appropriate for students to take multiple times. A student can petition for exceptions to this limitation through established university procedures (UW Regulation 8-238).
Class Attendance
Each student shall attend the lectures, recitations, and laboratories, and participate in field work deemed necessary to adequately fulfill the academic requirements of each course. Each instructor, at the beginning of every semester, shall stipulate the attendance policy necessary for satisfactory completion of the course.
The Dean of Students Office may issue authorized absences for participation in university-sponsored activities and for other unusual circumstances. If students have been hospitalized, or if they have been directed by the Student Health Service or their private physician to stay at their place of residence because of illness, the Student Health Service or their private physician may issue a statement giving the dates of the student's confinement which the student may show to the instructor without verification from the Dean of Students Office.
All instructors shall permit students who have official authorized absences to make up missed course work without penalty. An authorized absence, however, merely gives the individual who missed the class an opportunity to make up the work and in no way excuses him or her from the work required.
Withdrawal from the University
(Termination of Enrollment)
Withdrawal from the university is the official termination of student status prior to the end of a term. Students wishing to withdraw from all on-campus classes should initiate the procedure with the Dean of Students Office. Withdrawal from the university is not permitted during the last 15 days of a term.
After clearing with the Dean of Students Office, the withdrawal form must be presented to the university cashier for initial processing. The Office of the Registrar will report withdrawals to instructors concerned.
Students withdrawing from Outreach courses should contact the Outreach School.
Course Withdrawal
Students wishing to withdraw from some but not all course work can do so on WyoRecords. See the Change of Registration section above for deadlines.
A class withdrawal is not official unless filed with the Office of the Registrar. Unauthorized discontinuance of enrollment or unofficial abandonment of classes will result in a failing grade.
Academic Dishonesty
Whatever form academic dishonesty may take, the university community regards it as a serious offense. An act is academically dishonest when, and only when, it is an act attempted or performed in order to misrepresent one's involvement in an academic task in any way. Such conduct will result in imposition of sanctions pursuant to UW Regulations.
It is the responsibility of both the student and person in charge of an academic task, respectively, to make reasonable efforts to learn of, or make known, the expectations and standards of conduct required in the performance of an academic task. Failure on the part of the student to observe and maintain required standards of academic honesty will require corrective action by officials.

We're also including the Utahns' extended family. We couldn't think of anyone better to play the tough uncle than Ultimate Fighting Championship's DaMarques "Darkness" Johnson.
A grad of Kearns High, DaMarques learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after joining the army, and later became runner-up on The Ultimate Fighter season nine. He was impressive enough to get a UFC contract and has actually won more fights in the UFC than the television show's winner. Recently, he won via the body triangle submission, only done once before in UFC history. He also took some time away from the octagon to answer some of our questions.
What do you see as the major highlights in your MMA career over the past year or so?
To be honest, I don't view anything I have done as special. There are far more important jobs out there than mine. I fist fight people for a living, much like college grads move on to their careers once they are finished with 16th grade.
If you could go back to any match and do something differently, what match would it be and what would you do differently?
All the missteps and loses are the sandpaper to finishing a polished project (me). I wouldn't go back and change any of the ass whippins I have taken. I always take away more from the lessons of the loss than the victory, but the wins do feel better.
What are your signature moves when you fight?
I can't say that anything is really a signature move with me other than my wiry-monkey, go-for-broke style.
I know you're expertise is Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but what other martial arts do you incorporate?
How do you know that? Has Salt Lake magazine been the guys following me around? Getting into my car and such (his car was broken into recently, and his fighting gear was stolen)? If so, we are gonna have some words. I'm just a guy who fist fights people the best I can, not really deserving of the label "martial artist." Just because you color in coloring books, it doesn't make you Picasso.
What's your current win/loss record in UFC and overall?
(shaking his head) I'm 3-3 officially. However, counting the fights in The Ultimate Fighter house, I'm 6-3 overall.
How'd you get into MMA to start?
I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, because I had watched plenty of fights on pay-per-view and ended up tapping out a bunch of guys I worked with while I was in the ARMY. I also needed a reason to leave my barracks room, 'cause I had no car.
Any opponent you'd really like to fight, but haven't gotten the chance yet?
Personally, I don't care who I fight. It's business. Just like the officer who books people into to jail wouldn't care whose paper work he's processing. Getting punched in the face is still getting punched in the face, whether it's a big-name guy or an up-and-comer. Just like paper work is still just paper work, famous guy or homeless guy.
Where do you live right now?
I currently live in Cottonwood Heights/Midvale area. Why are you stalking the wrong house?
What year did you graduate from Kearns High?
Class of 2000.
Is your family in Utah, and are you in reality a tough uncle?
Yup, my family still lives here in Utah. Tough uncle, eh - I'm more the smart-ass, funny and loving uncle that will bring the pain if you take it to that point and need to be punished. Otherwise, we will have a good time.
Is Utah a good place for an MMA fighter?
Utah is a fantastic place to train, just to get in shape and enjoy the sport with plenty of gyms and events to go to. Should you feel you have what it take to become a professional pugilist, by all means come to Elite Performance in West Jordan.
What upcoming MMA events can we catch you fighting in?
I have nothing on the schedule as of now, and I'm just training right now. Back to that whole sandpaper and polish analogy.
What are you going to do to those losers who broke into your car if you find them?
Well, I know where they live and what kind of car they drive, too. So I'm still milling over the details in my devious little mind.
Anything else you'd like Salt Lake magazine readers to know about you?
Check out damarquesjohnson.com. On there, you will find my blog where I air plenty of crazy thoughts and stories. You can also pick up an "I <3 SLC shirt" and other Darkness shirts that I have designed. I will continue to fight hard, have fun and give you guys something to watch, so stay tuned and support the local kid.
Find out more about DaMarques and the rest of "the Utahns" in our July issue.

What to Expect After Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for Esophageal Cancer
As soon as you are injected with the photosensitizing drug Photofrin (porfimer sodium), you are at high risk for dangerous sunburn. So you need to protect your skin and eyes immediately after you are injected with it and for at least a month to six weeks afterward.
How to protect yourself from light after PDT
Take these steps to ensure you are protected from light after this treatment:
Before you leave home on the day of your injection, close your shades and curtains.
Bring a hat, dark sunglasses, light colored long-sleeved shirt made out of tightly woven fabric, light colored long pants made of tightly woven fabric, socks, and gloves with you to the hospital and wear them after your treatment.
Limit your time outdoors in the daytime as much as possible. If you go outside, wear the protective clothing listed above every day—even on cloudy days. You absolutely should not expose your skin to sunlight for 30 days after treatment.
After 30 days are up, you may expose a small amount of skin on your hand to sunlight for 10 minutes. If you have swelling, redness, or blistering within the next 24 hours, you should continue to protect your skin and eyes from light for another two weeks. If you don't have any reaction, you may gradually increase your exposure to sunlight.
Potential side effects of PDT
Because the activating light is focused on the tumor, the damage to your surrounding healthy tissue is minimal. Still, you may have burns, swelling, pain, or scarring in nearby healthy tissues, near your esophagus. You may also have these temporary side effects after PDT:
Trouble swallowing
Stomach pain
Painful breathing
Shortness of breath
Talk with your doctor or nurse about how to ease these side effects and which of these effects your doctor wants you to call about.


text: "Back then, people weren't saying this is a new thing, rock and roll," said blues guitarist and vocalist Little Milton Campbell in Memphis, Tennessee, during a March 2005 interview with members of the Rock Hall's education staff. "I think what brought that to focus was the fact that Elvis [Presley] did it. He was the only white boy at that time that had the guts to do what he felt, the movements. A lot of folks don't realize that this man caused pure hell doing the kind of music that he was doing." Campbell, who was first noticed by talent scout Ike Turner as a teen and launched his recording career under the direction of Sam Phillips at Sun Records in the early 1950s, had a profound understanding of the blues and unique perspective and insights on the evolution of rock and roll. At the time of the interview, the Rock Hall's education department had started recording interviews with artists and seminal figures in the history of rock and roll as part of an oral histories project to help develop the Museum's distance learning program in order to bring rock and roll education to classrooms across the globe. After traveling from his home in Memphis to meet the education staff at a hotel in the city's downtown, Campbell talked about the pre–rock and roll era, explaining the nuances and social impact of Elvis Presley's explosion in popularity and the sound he brought to the masses. It was one of the last interviews Campbell did before passing away in August 2005.

So I understand the concept of redshift, in that objects traveling away causes their light waves to become stretched, forcing it lower into the electromagnetic spectrum, making it appear 'red'. So does this mean that all waves have a constant 'length' if you will? As in, are waves sort of like a 'string,' in that as they become longer, the total 'length' must remain constant by the height of their amplitudes diminishing?
I hope that was understandable, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to even word the question.

ZF-1811: Fail gracefully if hash extension is not present.
Zend_Auth_Adapter_Http uses the {{hash()}} function, but does not check for presence of the hash extension. Even though this is a standard extension and is enabled by default in most distributions of PHP, we should consider checking for presence of the extension, and fail with an informative exception if it is not.
Graceful failure upon the unavailability of an extension applies to more than just Zend_Auth_Adapter_Http and the hash extension, since other components use extension functions unconditionally.
- iconv - Zend_Currency, Zend_Locale, Zend_Pdf, Zend_Search, et al
- mbstring - Zend_Feed
I'm sure there are many more examples, too. Shall we search for such cases and create additional issues?
Attaching patch that throws an exception when the extension isn't available.
Resolved for 1.5.0 RC1 with SVN r7689.
Resolved for 1.0.4 with SVN r7690.

A Montana man was extradited back to Delaware on Wednesday to face rape charges stemming from the sexual abuse of a 6-year-old Harrington girl.
Jonathan Karasevich, a 24-year-old airman in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Malstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Mont., is accused of sexually assaulting the child multiple times prior to 2009, according to Harrington Police Department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode.
The repeated abuse reportedly occurred at a home in the 300 block of Weiner Avenue in Harrington, where Karasevich lived prior to joining the Air Force.
Police learned of the abuse in January and obtained warrants charging Karasevich with 16 counts of first-degree rape, continuous sexual abuse of a child, sexual solicitation of a child and endangering the welfare of a child, Brode said.
Officers with the Cascade County Sheriff's Office in Montana arrested Karasevish in mid-January.
Karasevich is now being held at the Sussex Correctional Institution in Georgetown in default of a $167,000 cash bond.

Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
Great tires and one of the best all-around tires that I have ever owned. I am on my second set with two different vehicles. My last set was on a GMC 2500HD and the KM2's had around 40k miles on them and were still half tread when I got rid of the truck. They worked so good on that heavy truck that I decided to put them on my Jeep. These tires work very well in sand and gumbo mud. They also wear very well if rotated properly.
Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
Have already used them for 20,000 miles on a nissan pick up truck, both on road and off road in Greece; excellent performance on rocky Greek mountains (Pindos & Taigetos) and on mud terrain of hunting areas. Also very reliable in farm work, especially under heavy load conditions. For on road use, the noise starts after 95mph. My only concern is the use on icy roads, but it might be a result of my limited experience in driving on ice (no issue though with fresh snow up to 10inches).
Comments about Mud-Terrain T/A KM2:
I purchased the 235/85R16 Mud Terrain KM2's for my 1960 F100 4X4 restoration. They are mounted on stock style 16X6 steel rims. I was going for a stock looking, tall and skinny, aggressive tire without going with a reproduction bias ply tire. These tires worked perfect. The lugs wrap slightly over the shoulder of the tire without all the "jazzy" crummy looking sidewall designs that most modern tires seem to be dressed up with.
The tires were not overly loud on the highway. They tracked straight and rode smooth.
I took the truck out in a muddy field and tested the 4-wheel drive. The mud was upwards of 6" deep and there was no problem with grip. I stopped multiple times and drove both forwards and backwards with the tires gripping and getting me moving easily.
my only fault with them is that there isn't a blackwall only option which may have saved me a little bit of money.

Post subject: Kindle Comments and Question
I have been exploring my new Kindle and was so surprised to see the experimental section where it can access the internet to google search and visit websites (I even visited AAR with it when I was on a trip). I was going to try and access my e-mail with it but ran out of time. I wonder if that would have worked. I didn't realize it had these capabilities when I bought it.
My quesiton involves availability of the Kindle format. I was excited to download the new Joanne Bourne, My Lord and Spymaster book but don't see that it is available in Kindle. I kind of assumed that all new books would be available in Kindle format. For those that have a Kindle can you shed any light on this? Should I order a paperback version of Bourne's new one or wait and see if it becomes available in the next year in Kindle format? Thanks.

I have had my Kindle for about 2 months and am still exploring some of the experimental and other non-reading features. It is my understanding that you can use the Kindle for email although I have never tried it. However, I have noticed that one of the books listed in the Kindle Best Seller column on the Kindle Home Page addresses this very issue. You may want to check it out. Or try emailing their tech support for instructions; I have found them very helpful and quick to respond.
As far as the availability of books in the Kindle format, I have run into the same problem as you occasionally. MOST of the titles I want to purchase have been available, but not all. I did email Amazon re: this issue. They replied that it is the publisher who decides whether or not to release a book in the Kindle format. They suggested emailing the publisher and indicate your interest in having the book available in a Kindle edition. I suppose the demand will drive the market here.
I have noticed with a couple of titles that the Kindle edition becomes available after the release of the printed version. My M.O. now is to wait a bit if a book I want is not immediately available. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn't. I'd say that I am about 90% successful in finding my new-release choices available.
My guess is that because the Kindle is selling so well, more and more books will become available. I live for the day that any book that is released in print is also released in a Kindle edition.
So many books; so little time!

Tinabelle, Thanks so much for this info. Do you know how to buy ebooks from sites besides Amazon to read on Kindle? I was at eharlequin today and they have a bunch of free books as well as mini books that look great. Kindle said to download for mobiplayer. Do I have to get software for mobi to get a PDI? Thanks.

I found the answer to my question and am really disapointed. There is some controversy involved. In order to read a harlequin ebook on a kindle it looks like it involves some hacking to convert the file to kindle format. Hopefully this will change and Harlequin will set up a deal with Amazon to begin selling ebooks in kindle format. Harlequin has some great looking free ebook packages and mini ebooks (short stories) for less than a dollar.

Kayne -
I have not tried any other formats for downloading a book. It sounds too complicated for me, a pretty low-end tech person.
I think this is part of the whole controversy about ebooks - all of the different formats. It would be wonderful if every electronic reader used the same format so a person could get books from any source. I wouldn't be surprised if something changed in the future as ebooks become more widely read. That old supply and demand thing again. I guess this is part of the "fun" of early adoption of a technology device.
I love reading on the Kindle vs holding a paperback or hardcover.
So many books; so little time!

What would you say if you heard about people living with severe mental illness being exposed to:
- A complicated legal system
- Charges without a lawyer
- Detention for long periods of time and
- Inappropriate or nonexistent psychiatric care?
The Washington Post reported that 15 percent of the total immigrant population in detention lives with a mental illness—an estimated 57,000 in 2008. Detainees with no family member or friends are appointed an ICE representative to act as their court "custodian"—"a blatant conflict of interest."
While the ICE's own statutes require certain standards of treatment for detainees living with mental illness, the reality usually fails to live up to those standards. Two reports, Justice for Immigration's Hidden Population by Texas Appleseed, and Deportation by Default from Human Rights Watch, detail the conditions to which these most vulnerable of detainees are often subjected.
According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement rules:
- ICE Judges have great discretion in allowing release to the community while an outcome is being determined.
- People with a mental illness should receive appropriate treatment or be transferred somewhere they can get it.
"It costs seven times as much to incarcerate someone with mental illness," according to Senator Russell Feingold, yet current detention practice opts for the more expensive, less humane alternative rather than keeping people living with mental illness in the community while their fates are being decided.
While there is no simple solution to the country's immigration problem, the tens of thousands of people living with mental illness in the limbo of our country's detention centers might have more similarities to those of us on the outside than we realize.

SANTA ANA – A man who fatally stabbed his mother's friend glanced back at his relatives in an Orange County courtroom gallery Friday after he was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison.
Saul Jose Salazar, 29, a Santa Ana man with a history of violence toward his mother, last year was found guilty of second-degree murder stemming from a confrontation in October 2010.
Jurors in Superior Court Judge Patrick Donahue's courtroom also found that Salazar used a knife – a penalty enhancement – to kill Antonio Verdugo-Cabrera, 33, after a party at Salazar's mom's home.
"Mr. Salazar is a very dangerous and unpredictable man," Deputy District Attorney Susan Price said after the sentencing, adding that the term imposed is appropriate. "He poses a great danger to our community."
Price contended that Salazar had been kicked out of his mother's house after he became violent with her in the early-morning hours of Oct. 3, 2010, but returned several hours later while a party was under way and provoked an argument with Verdugo-Cabrera.
Salazar then stabbed the victim three times, including once in the chest, prosecutors said.
Salazar's mother had taken out a restraining order against him because of earlier violence toward her, but the restraining order expired two weeks before the stabbing.
