Would Arresting More Whites End Racial Disparities in the Justice System?

"Profound" racial and ethnic disparities continue to mar America's criminal justice system, according to a report by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). The report, Criminal Justice in the 21st Century: Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Criminal Justice System, summarized a three-day discussion in New York last fall that included prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, scholars, community leaders, and the formerly incarcerated.
In one of the more provocative comments quoted by the report, Rick Jones of the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem suggested: "The surest path to [criminal justice] reform would be to arrest more white people." Other attending the conference "agreed with the truth, if not the practicality, of this position," pointing out that those whites affected by such a policy would likely be poor and unemployed---rather than middle-class people whose criminalization would in theory spark more attention.
Nevertheless, Irwin Shaw, Attorney-in-Charge of the Legal Aid Society, New York County, said racial bias was often "implicit" in areas ranging from court procedure to sentencing, even among white liberals who want to eliminate flaws in the system. Jonathan Rapping, founder and director of the Southern Public Defender Training Center (now Gideon's Promise), added: "I am just as guilty of saying, 'What's going on here?' when I see the rare white defendant in a court-issued jumpsuit." Other reform ideas included stopping the misuse of cash bail, arrests for marijuana possession and incarceration for non-violence offenses.

A skin tag, technically called acrochordon, is a soft balloon of extra skin that hangs off one's body. While unsightly, they are rarely dangerous. These narrow pieces of flesh usually develop on parts of the body that have a crease or fold that rubs together. They are often found in the groin, armpits, upper chest, eyelids, and neck areas. These flesh colored or slightly darker stalks of skin may look smooth or irregular in shape. They often begin after mid-life and can measure up to a half inch in size. No one is immune.
Skin tags sometimes appear in groups. They are thought to contain fibers, ducts, nerve cells, fat cells under a covering of skin. They become annoying if they interfere with jewelry or shaving. Removal of skin tags is thought to be cosmetic; hence, it is not covered by insurance. If however, the tag becomes painful, twisted, irritated or bleeds, one should seek a dermatologist's opinion because they rarely fall off on their own.
Dermatologists will use one of the following to remove the tag: cauterization, cryosurgery, ligation or excision. Cauterization involves burning off the tag with electrolysis (heat). Cryosurgery involves freezing the tag with liquid nitrogen. This may cause some inflammation but the tag will fall off naturally within a couple of weeks. Ligation interrupts the blood supply. Excision cuts the skin tag off by means of a scalpel. The area is usually numbed before the procedure. When a skin tag is around the eye, consider visiting with an ophthalmologist.
Seeing a dermatologist for skin care concerns is the only way to ascertain whether a condition is serious or not. It is the safest way to remove any growth. Removing skin tags at home is not recommended as anytime the skin is cut, one is exposing the body to possible infection.

My kids have always seemed to like learning about compound words. It seems to present a fun challenge for them: take two words that are relatively easy to spell, and put them together into a big word – that's still easy to spell! They also enjoy the idea of matching words together – I think it is because it is a concept they think looks complicated, but then find they can master it and it gives them a huge sense of accomplishment. So I've pulled together a list of 11 winter themed compound words, and created three worksheets to teach your students about these fun vocabulary words. They are suitable for kids in 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade.
The words are listed here so that you can use them in other winter lesson plans:

Overview and Aim
The RuleML2011 <at> BRF Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML2011 <at> BRF
Conference.The RuleML2011 <at> BRF Challenge is dedicated to practical experiences
with rule-oriented applications. In particular, submissions of benchmarks
/ evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best
practice solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models),
rule-based implementations / tools / applications, demonstrations of
engineering methods, implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF,
SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules,
...), rules + industrial standards (e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and
industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged.
Key themes of the RuleML2011 <at> BRF Challenge include the following:
* Demos related to the RuleML2011 <at> BRF Track Topics
* Extensions and implementations of rule standards: W3C RIF, RuleML,
* Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules
* Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines
* Distributed rule bases and rule services
* Reports on industrial experience about rule systems
A dedicated track of RuleML2011 <at> BRF Challenge will be focused on the theme:
**Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and Applications**
- Loose/tight integrations of rules and knowledge bases
- Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning
- Real cases and practical experiences
Ideally, demos submitted to the Challenge track should tackle knowledge-rich
domain problems. The proposed solution should address such problem using a
combination of rule-based modelling and semantic knowledge-based modelling.
Solutions ranging from loosely coupled hybrid systems (i.e. where different
frameworks are put together), to unified homogeneous architectures (i.e. where
a unified model / semantics, within a single framework, is proposed) will be
of great interest for the special track.
Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus theme
and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special
Challenge Session.
The submission is composed of two parts:
- open-source or commercial demo
- demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of
your submission.
Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2011 consist of a demo paper of 4-8 pages,
describing the demo show case, and a link to the demo/show case, e.g. a
project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration,
or a download site for the demonstration.
Demo and papers submission website:
Please upload all demo papers submissions as PDF files in LNCS format
To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed
according to the evaluation criteria indicated below.
To better disseminate your work, please also udpate your demo in the systems
submission website with a brief abstract presentation:

Linux Kernel Ethernet
This page documents Ethernet drivers on the Linux kernel. Typically Ethernet drivers are documented through the Documentation/ section of the kernel. This page is for those drivers that choose to document themselves through a wiki rather than plain text ASCII files. This follows the tradition of documentation followed by the wireless subsystem.
Ethernet drivers
Here is the list of our wiki-documented Ethernet drivers. alx - Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) Ethernet driver.
Driver Backport
About Driver Backport Workgroup
The Driver Backport workgroup creates distribution-independent means to create, distribute, maintain and support backports of current upstream drivers on the older kernels of Linux distributions.
The goal is to make Linux distributions run easily on anything that can run Linux at the day it comes to market.
Once a driver has been backported it needs to be precompiled to the distro kernel for distribution.
This should work as similar as possible accross the different distributions so system and component vendors can focus their energies from adding Linux support to more distros to adding Linux support to more hardware.
Once backported drivers have been built into packages, these packages need to be distributed to the "sysadmin" so installation works as easy as possible for him.
While the Linux user doesn't care too much about different installation methods accross distributions and there is some happy coopetition in this, the hardware vendor techsupport would strongly prefer to have distro agnostic diagnostic tools to check the driver status.
There is many ways how to manage the growing delta between the some current kernel API and the API of an older, distro specific kernel.
This page collects the specific issues, how different people deal with them and from there we come up with some best practices how to do it with least effort.
As we anticiapte distro differences in the kernel even once we have these best practices, this page also lists the distro specifics of the kernels.
So in one sentence the scope of this effort is

On March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush made an announcement to the nation that would change history. "My fellow citizens. At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger." What we didn't know at the time was that we were about to enter one of our country's longest and most difficult wars. Nearly 9 years later, on December 18, 2011, war was over and our service men and women were coming home.
The following year, on the ninth anniversary of this mission, President Obama declared a National Day of Honor in remembrance of the countless number of military service members who took part in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
Nearly 4,500 American lives were lost, while many more continue to handle the effects of what they faced while in service. It's important to remember all those who have served as well as those who sacrificed for our country.
And even though our military has been involved in several operations as well as a lengthy engagement in Afghanistan since that time, it's still important to take a moment to thank and honor the veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In remembrance of March 19, 2012 and the National Day of Honor, I am sharing President Obama's official proclamation below:
Nine years ago, members of the United States Armed Forces crossed the sands of the Iraq-Kuwait border and began one of the most challenging missions our military has ever known. They left the comforts of home and family, volunteering in service to a cause greater than themselves. They braved insurgency and sectarian strife, knowing too well the danger of combat and the cost of conflict. Yet, through the dust and din and the fog of war, they never lost their resolve. Demonstrating unshakable fortitude and unwavering commitment to duty, our men and women in uniform served tour after tour, fighting block by block to help the Iraqi people seize the chance for a better future. And on December 18, 2011, their mission came to an end.
Today, we honor their success, their service, and their sacrifice. In one of our Nation's longest wars, veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn wrote one of the most extraordinary chapters in American military history. When highways became mine fields and uncertainty waited behind every corner, service members rose to meet the task at hand with unmatched courage and determination. They learned languages and cultures, taking on new roles as diplomats and development experts to improve the communities where they served. Their strength toppled a tyrant, and their valor helped build opportunity in oppression's place. Across nearly 9 years of conflict, the glory of their service — as well as the contributions of other members of the U.S. Government and our coalition partners — always shone through.
The war left wounds not always seen, but forever felt. The burden of distance and the pain of loss weighed heavily on the hearts of millions at home and overseas. Behind every member of our military stood a parent, a spouse, or a son or daughter who proudly served their community and prayed for their loved one's safe return. For wounded warriors, coming home marked the end of one battle and the beginning of another — to stand, to walk, to recover, and to serve again. And, in war's most profound cost, there were those who never came home. Separated by time and space but united by their love of country, nearly 4,500 men and women are eternally bound; though we have laid them to rest, they will live on in the soul of our Nation now and forever. To them, to their families, and to all who served, we owe a debt that can never be fully repaid.
When we returned the colors of United States Forces-Iraq and the last of our troops set foot on American soil, we reflected on the extraordinary service and sacrifice of those who answered our country's call. Their example embodied that fundamental American faith that tells us no mission is too hard, no challenge is too great, and that through tests and through trials, we will always emerge stronger than before. Now, our Nation reaffirms our commitment to serve veterans of Iraq as well as they served us — to uphold the sacred trust we share with all who have worn the uniform. Our future is brighter for their service, and today, we express our gratitude by saying once more: Welcome home.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 19, 2012, as a National Day of Honor. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that commemorate the return of the United States Armed Forces from Iraq.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
nineteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.

Valentino's had to close due to the loss of our lease ; after thirty years of being a very good tenant our landlord would not consider renewing our lease at a reasonable rent ! It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve all of you nice people for all these years. We had the opportunity to serve three generations ! It has been a joy to have seen so many children grow up and who have been getting married & are now having children of their own! Thank you for all the loyalty and support over the last thirty years! Good

The Paloma Blanca 4001 has a cross-over pleated empire bodice with tapered straps and broach clasps. Pick-up skirt with flower detail. Silk dupioni fabric.
The dress has been professionally cleaned. There are some small tears underneath near the bustle but they can be easily fixed and they don't show. I also have some extra fabric that can be used for that. The hook closure at the top needs to be mended. I am 5'3" and was wearing 3 1/4" heels. I had a French bustle put in. This dress is a size 10 and I had no alterations done to the bodice. I had the neckline tucked a little so it laid flat against my body. I had the broaches and straps ship to me unattached but I have them and they can easily be sewn on, although this dress works so well as a strapless. I also added covered buttons down the back of the dress which is a beautiful addition that hides the zipper.

Even though the pace of emptying space has slowed down, Miami industrial real estate is still experiencing a growing vacancy rate which, as reported by the Florida Real Estate Journal, reached 9.8% at the end of 2009. All the industrial areas of Miami, from northwest Miami-Dade at the Broward County line, to Homestead in the south, are experiencing soft demand due to high unemployment rates, economic distress, limited credit availability, and declining international trade.
Asking rates throughout the region dropped to an average of $4 per square foot in areas such as Hialeah and Medley to $7 to $9 per square foot for more modern warehouse space in Doral, down from $6 and $12, the prior year, respectively. Tenants are taking advantage of the abundance of space for lease, obtaining concessions from landlords such as reduced rents, lower deposits, grace periods and free buildouts.
As a result, the value of industrial buildings has been tumbling. Even as motivated sellers come to grips with today's pricing environment, and forward-looking investors grab real estate at sensible prices, sales continue at a slow pace. The South Florida Multiple Listing Service records that, in the last six months, there were 46 closed sales of industrial space in all of Miami-Dade County, totaling 426,798 square feet. The median sales price was $302,200 with an average 13% reduction off the list price. This compares unfavorably with sales in the previous six months, when the median selling price was $600,000 and the average reduction was 10%.
Recent sales range from a 997 square foot condo in the Tamiami Airport area to a 100,188 square foot self storage facility in Homestead. The first sold in 77 days for $71,100, at 93% of list price. The latter took 330 days to find a buyer, who paid $1,750,000, or 59.42% of list price.
Predictions for increased absorption towards the end of 2010 or beginning 2011 were based on all the standard criteria. However, it would have been hard to predict a major event that is already having a significant impact on Miami industrial real estate: the Haiti earthquake.

WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State right-hander Jordan Cooper tossed a complete game five-hitter Friday night as the Shockers topped the Braves 5-1 in the first Missouri Valley Conference contest for both teams. Bradley's lone run came with two outs in the top of the ninth when sophomore Brad Kimball (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley H.S.) delivered a pinch-hit homerun.
Cooper and Bradley junior right-hander Patrick Cooper (Danville, Ky./Des Moines Area C.C./Boyle County H.S.) were locked in a pitcher's duel until the bottom of the fifth, when the Shockers erupted for three runs on four hits to take a 3-0 lead.
The Braves tried to answer in the sixth with back-to-back one-out singles, but J. Cooper got freshman outfielder Mike Tauchman (Palatine, Ill./William Fremd H.S.) to strike out looking and junior outfielder Brian Martin (Glen Ellyn, Ill./College of DuPage/Lombard Montini Catholic H.S.) was caught trying to steal home to end the threat.
Wichita State tacked on two more runs on three hits in the bottom of the sixth, including an RBI double by Chris O'Brien, to take a 5-0 advantage. Kimball spoiled J. Cooper's shutout with his second homerun of the season in the ninth, but J. Cooper rebounded to record the final out of the game, 5-1.
P. Cooper (0-3) took the loss on the mound for Bradley, allowing five earned runs on nine hits in 5.0 innings of work.The Braves (6-10, 0-1 MVC) and Shockers (12-7, 1-0 MVC) will play game two of their three-game set tomorrow at 2 p.m.

ks is a WHORE.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
The rams use to be good but suck wet dick now.
I have the wang of truth, let me tell you.
I feel overwhelmed.
Kelsh, just tease them like you already do
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 already took kelshs virginity
i have it in a bag. its in my stolen items cabinet
Yes Hicky locked it away in a mile deep pit under the ocean in an impenetrable safe, with guard sentinels and state of the art lasers.
Life... INSANITY IS KEY!!
I found it
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.
Mex, you were in the bag with her. That doesn't count.
imagine if someones virginity was something you could physically hold
you could sell it to a virgin on ebay
My virginity would be worth gold.
I can always sodomize you in the ass until you want to lose your virginity
My penis is bigger than yours Walrus. Kelsh needs a real man who can satisfy her needs!
according to dogar and tim i have a large penis
According to Espeon's Fury and myself, a picture of my penis would have to be taken from outside of earth's atmosphere and it would stretch the bandwidth of the Internet itself.
you're gamboling with espeon's fury? i had no idea you swung that way
Him and I talk on a steady basis.
how can espeon's fury make this conclusion about your penis if he's never seen it? I smell a closet relationship

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Spearheads an Earth Day Beach Clean Up
April 8, 2013
By: Five Star Alliance
20 million people gathered across the country to show support and their increasing concern about the visible ruined environment, on the very first Earth Day on April 22nd, 1970. Led by Senator John McConnell along with a small team of environmentalists and scientists, concerned citizens and the like, they successfully raised awareness about the absence of green issues from the United States' political agenda. It has grown to be recognized as an annual global event, and even has been adopted by the United Nations in 2009. Celebrated in more than 192 countries every year, numerous communities celebrate Earth Day by participating in activities focused on environmental issues.
It is becoming a norm for companies to participate in being green and responsible corporate, by adopting green initiatives within their business model. The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, has followed suit by extending the invitation of being more green, and being an eco-hero to their guests and local residents. The hotel chain has teamed up with the Southern California's expert-naturalist organization, the Eco-Adventure Center to help with this effort. The Beach Clean Up is the Ritz-Carlton property's annual Earth Day initiative where they invite local residents and their hotel guests to come join them and help do their part in keeping Salt Creek Beach clean. Naturalists from the resort's Eco-Adventure Center will provide trash bags and gloves for participants, and will manage the removal of the trash that is collected. The Ritz Carlton hopes that this event helps guests and locals to extend eco-efforts in their own homes.
The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel beach clean-up will be held Saturday, April 20 at 10 a.m.

Any lady who's had a bikini wax will tell you one thing... IT HURTS! While nothing will completely remove the pain associated with going bare, the BareEase & Cream Prep Kit ($25) significantly reduces it. This set includes a panty and pain relieving cream that you apply 30 minutes prior to your waxing appointment. Ouchless hair removal could not be easier!

"That's a great sweater on you."
"I'm inspired by the fundraising that you do."
"The way you give back is really impactful."
These are all incredibly nice things that people have said to me. In every situation, my response has been to either make a self-deprecating remark, wave the statement away, or mumble while averting my eyes.
I have never been one to accept compliments gracefully. And frankly, I always figured that I had enough bigger flaws that I should focus on rather than worrying about that.
My perspective on that, like most things, has changed since I've had kids.
Now, my kids are still very young – two and three. They are confident. When you tell my daughter she is beautiful and smart, she responds, "I know." When I ask her if she knows that I'm proud of her, she smiles broadly and says, "I do!"
But teaching my children self-confidence is more than peppering them with compliments. It is teaching them how to carry themselves, as well, which includes modeling my language and my own esteem.
Those statements at the beginning of this post? I struggled to write them down, knowing that I'm attributing them to myself.
If I can't accept those statements gracefully, how will my kids learn the joy of hearing what they have done well?
If I don't teach them how to internalize the good others see in them, how will they learn to recognize and articulate their own strengths?
Do you accept compliments gracefully? Do you work with your kids on this? How has your self-esteem changed as you've gotten older?

Federal financial aid is referred to as "Title IV funds." These funds are awarded to you for a given semester based on the assumption that you will attend all scheduled classes. If you do not complete all scheduled classes, the Financial Aid Office is required to calculate the amount of financial aid that you actually earned in a process called Return of Title IV. This is separate from Madison College's state approved policy on tuition refunds.
The following federal aid funds may be affected if you withdraw, drop, stop attending, or never attend all of your classes: Direct Unsubsidized & Subsidized Loans; Direct Parent PLUS Loans; Pell Grants and SEOG Grants.
Process of Calculating Return of Title IV:
The Financial Aid Office will perform a Return of Title IV calculation if your currently scheduled classes are all, or any combination of the following:
A hold will be placed on your account within a couple days if you received a financial aid disbursement for the semester and withdraw, drop, stop attending, or never attend all of your classes. This hold will prevent you from accessing receiving certain services until the calculation is complete. A Return of Title IV calculation may take up to 30 days from when the hold is placed on your account. Once the Return of Title IV process is complete you will receive a letter from Madison College that explains the calculation and the outcome.
There are two possible outcomes from a calculation:
If you completely withdraw, drop, or stop attending before your financial aid is disbursed for the semester, you may be eligible to receive a Post-Withdrawal disbursement. A Post-Withdrawal disbursement is for students that were eligible to receive a disbursement, but the aid was unable to disburse before you stopped attending. The Financial Aid Office will determine if any aid was earned by using the calculation below.
The amount of aid that you earned is determined by comparing the number of calendar days elapsed from when you withdraw, drop, or stop attending against the number of calendar days within the class start/end dates. Calculations are based on each student's individual class schedule. If the amount of days completed is less than 60% some or all of your financial aid received may be required to be paid back.
Any time you withdraw, drop, or stop attending one or more of your classes it may impact your Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. This may impact your ability to receive financial aid in the future. It is recommended that before you withdraw, drop, or stop attending any classes that you first speak with an academic advisor to discuss what resources and options are available.
Note: If you are decreasing enrollment, but completing at least one class in the semester, visit the Enrollment Status web page for complete information regarding the impact to your financial aid.

Consumer Debt Assistance Deceptive Mailer – Credit Card Balance Reduction Opportunity 2011
One of the AACC members forwarded me a deceptive mailer a consumer had received. The number on the mailer, 888-354-8913, goes to Consumer Debt Assistance. The Consumer Debt Assistance site boldly displays the TASC logo but guess what, that appears to be deceptive as well.

Stefano Bollani: Don't Talk
Don't Talk
Stefano Bollani (piano)
Piano Solo (ECM 1964 B0007150-02)
Stefano Bollani (piano).
Composed by Brian Wilson.
Recorded: Lugano, Switzerland, August 2005
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
An Italian jazz pianist recording an old Brian Wilson Beach Boys song for his German record company . . . Don't you love the global village? But I am an ardent admirer of Wilson's compositions (full admission: Wilson and I grew up in the same neighborhood, albeit a few years apart), and wonder why jazz players don't cover his tunes more often. Bollani can be formidable on the keyboard, but he tones it down on "Don't Talk," and his ruminative moodiness is perfect for this tune. Surf must be up on the Adriatic, but the waves here are gentle and the water warm and inviting. Don't talk . . . listen.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Whimsical, Funky, Cute, Retro / Vintage
What materials did you use? 5.6mm multi purpose soft rope Fabric strips Thread Fabric for owl Felt Toy eyes Polyfill to stuff owl
What are you most proud of? This is probably my favourite out of all the baskets I've made so far. It's the most unique.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I did a few straight stitches across the base of the basket so the bottom is a bit stronger and more rigid. You can do a zig zag stitch along the wrapped rope before you wind it around the handles if you are worried about your material gapping or fraying (I did this the first time I did these handles on another project but didn't bother this time)
Would love to make these. Do have the instructions? Please share. Beautiful.....
Way cute.
do you have a pattern for the owl coil basket?
Charming, can you provide directions and materials need for project?

After a winter when low water levels threatened to halt barge traffic, some stretches of the Mississippi River could see extensive flooding during the next week.
DTN ag meteorologist Bryce Anderson reports that the river from the Quad Cities south to St. Louis could see its most extensive flooding since 2008.
Anderson says the Mississippi River valley is not the only area affected by flood potential. As of Wednesday afternoon, flash flood and flood bulletins issued by the National Weather Service were in effect from northern Wisconsin through eastern Iowa to south-central Illinois.
And with more rain in the forecast, Anderson says, flooding is not out of the question going into May.

With the nasty weather that the Maryville area has seen this winter, it is little wonder that predicting weather patterns and school dismissals has become difficult. As a result, early dismissal has become more common in Blount County.
Unfortunately, when early dismissal comes, many high school students in particular are uncertain about what to do. Should they drive home in spite of streets that may or may not be in very good condition? Should they try to ride the bus, even knowing that it might take them hours to get home? Or should they remain at school for as long as possible and hope for the best?
When schools dismissed at 10:30 on Wednesday, February 10, many students were at a loss for what to do. At William Blount High School, several newly-licensed students were in tears at the idea of having to drive home on icy roads. In a city like Maryville, where icy conditions are relatively uncommon, the city is ill-equipped to deal with such circumstances; as a result, the roads may remain dangerous until the weather conditions approves.
All of this means that snow and ice can lead to high stress levels for parents and students alike. Fortunately, there are a few things that can be done to reduce that stress ahead of time.
Always have a plan for what will happen in the event of an early dismissal, and make sure your student knows it.
Keep an eye on the weather report. If it looks like conditions are going to be bad, but schools haven't yet been dismissed, consider keeping your student home anyway.
If there is a responsible adult closer to the school who can be available to pick up a stranded student, recruit them. Make sure that your student knows to call them in the event of an emergency.
If your student does not feel capable of driving in bad weather, make sure that they have an alternate way of getting home.
In case the streets around your home are particularly icy, have a contingency plan: an easily accessible public place that will or should remain open, has a comparatively ice-free parking lot, and will provide shelter for your student until you are able to reach them.
In the event of poor weather conditions, keep your phone turned on! Teachers often allow students to call for a ride even when they would not otherwise permit cell phone use in school.
Above all, make sure that your student is aware that if they are uncomfortable on the road for any reason, they should always pull over and stop driving. Better that they be safe than that they have an accident that could have been prevented.
Don't wait until bad weather threatens and schools have dismissed to decide what is going to happen with your student. Have a plan in place, then implement it--it might save some tears in the long run!

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is seeking comments on how it can improve the way it improves its ways. USFS is asking for suggestions for revising the form officially known as the Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
USFS announced on Tuesday, March 4 that it is not proposing any changes but will accept suggestions until May 5.
Current authorization for the form expires July 31 and USFS needs permission from the Office of Management & Budget to continue using it.
Users of USFS facilities provide information – not just statistics --- that the agency can use to improve its services. People can comment on anything from the timeliness and accuracy of information USFS provides to the courtesy of employees and how well the agency does its job.
People fill out the form voluntarily. It can take anywhere from a minute to an hour, depending on what people want to say. USFS gets about 3.5 million responses a year.

Against the Grain owners Debbie Anderson (middle left) and daughter Aly Avey (right) celebrate completion of the store's remodel with grandparents Larry and Sandi Lickford and Debbie's husband Brian
It was never Cheney resident Debbie Anderson's intention to open a store. It was the clientele at her current business that finally drove her, along with daughter Aly Avey, to open Cheney's latest foray into the antiques genre, Against the Grain.
Anderson is owner along with husband Brian of Cheney's Holiday Inn Express, whose guests often peppered her with questions about what the city has to offer.
"People kept asking, 'Where can we eat and do you have any unique, quaint places to shop?'" Anderson said.
Anderson previously owned an interior design business in Spokane, but af...

Tibetan comprises a cluster of Tibeto-Burman languages spoken across Central Asia. Its classical written form is a major Buddhist language. First published in 1834, this dictionary of Tibetan, believed to be the very first, was compiled by the Hungarian orientalist Korösi Csoma Sándor (c.1784-1842), who styled himself Alexander Csoma de Korös in English, and was considered to be the founder of the field of Tibetology. Containing over 20,000 entries with English translations, the dictionary was created during the author's travels in the East, during which he devoted himself to the study of the language. Remaining of great interest to linguists today, the dictionary begins with a useful guide to reading and understanding Tibetan words, with the value of each syllable given in Roman script. The entries themselves are arranged primarily under the language's thirty consonants, with irregular verb forms listed where necessary.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – The guitar is a versatile instrument, and two guitarists will show off their very different styles at this weekend's Monthly Music Mix concert.
Tupelo natives Jim Tomlinson and Michael Boyd will share the stage at the Link Centre on Saturday. They'll perform separately and together.
Tomlinson, who now lives in Madison, has more of a rock 'n' roll and folk-style approach to the guitar, while Boyd is a classical guitarist and instructor at Jones County Junior College.
Tomlinson grew up singing and started playing guitar in college.
"I never took a lesson. I played with friends and played for fun, picking up tips from different people," he said.
His band, Blue Tattoo, toured the region and shared the stage with bands like Sister Hazel, the North Mississippi Allstars and the Wailers, but the band broke up after several years.
Since then, Tomlinson has performed across the state while taking care of his son.
"It's nice to be able to make money doing something you love," he said.
Tomlinson likes other singer-songwriters who have good voices and lyrics, like Eddie Vedder and Marc Broussard, and his style is similar.
He hopes he and Boyd can work up a few tunes to perform together, but he's also eager to show off his original songs and discuss how he writes.
Similarly, Boyd hopes to showcase his Latin-inspired style.
Lately he's filled his time studying Spanish composer Federico Moreno Tórroba. He's released an album of Torroba's works and is preparing a paper on him.
"I'm into jazz and pop, but my real interest is in Spanish music," he said. "I've found it helps to do a variety of things."
He's a Centaur Records artist and has released several albums.
At the show, Boyd hopes to do a few songs on the steel-string guitar.
"It's a good opportunity to do a retrospective of guitar music," he said. "Some of what I'll play will be familiar and some of it won't be."
Both musicians are eager to share the stage and learn from each other, and share that music with the audience.
"I'm looking forward to it," Tomlinson said. "I hope to see a lot of people Saturday."
• What: Monthly Music Mix: Michael Boyd and Jim Tomlinson
• When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
• Where: Link Centre Concert Hall

Federal Amazon Law Vote Today
The Senate could vote this week on legislation that would close the "Amazon Loophole," a tax loophole that allows online retailers like Amazon and eBay to avoid collecting sales taxes on most purchases made through their sites. The loophole gives online retailers a major advantage over their offline competitors, since they only have to collect sales taxes in states where they have a physical presence.
This vote is particularly important for state governments whose budgets continue to come up short and could therefore use the huge sums that the failure to tax Internet sales has denied them. In 2012, Internet retailers earned $225.5 billion costing states millions of dollars—California (over $4 billion), Texas ($1.7 billion), Florida ($1.4 billion), Illinois ($1 billion), and New York ($1.7 billion). Cities, whose budgets are also in dire straits, are also taking a hit. Take for instance, Los Angeles, where the projected e-commerce tax revenue loss for 2013 is over $95 million. In Chicago, it tops out at more than $55 million.
Technically, online retailers should be collecting taxes, however, due a complicated history of Supreme Court cases, Internet-based retail stores have not had to comply with the same sales tax rules that brick-and-mortar stores had to comply with. Regardless of whether or not retailers collect the taxes, buyers are technically still required to pay such taxes—although few actually do. In recent years, a few states have begun enacting laws to require Internet companies to collect sales taxes. New York was the first state to enact a law defining "nexus" or presence more broadly in order to be able to require Internet sellers to collect sales taxes. Since then, six other states (Rhode Island, North Carolina, Illinois, Arkansas, Connecticut, and California) have adopted similar laws that require online retailers with sales affiliates based within their borders to collect sales tax, while other states (South Dakota and Colorado) have enacted laws that require online companies to at least notify customers that they owe the tax. California's law also extends the obligation to collect sales taxes to online retailers that have subsidiaries or affiliated companies in the state. While some of these laws have been upheld, others—such as Illinois's—have been declared unconstitutional based on the previous Supreme Court cases.
States have also tried to collect the tax directly from consumers through amnesty programs. Illinois, for example, implemented an amnesty program to allow customers to pay sales and use taxes on past online purchases, made between June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2010, without penalty. North Carolina's program, on the other hand, specified that if Internet retailers commenced collecting sales tax on products sold to North Carolina state residents, the state would, in turn, forgive taxes, penalties, and interest for certain periods, and it would not seek information about customers who bought from them. Such approaches have not been too successful. Illinois, for instance, collected only about $10 billion of the estimated $150 billion that should have been paid.
As a result of state amnesty programs not working and laws being overturned, the pressure on Congress to pass federal legislation has been intense. The Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 would give states the authority to levy sales taxes on online purchases even when the retailer isn't based within a state's borders. Passing the legislation would both remove an unfair advantage for online retailers and give cash-strapped states more authority to collect sales taxes. The bill states that the tax is only required for companies earning more than $1 million per year in sales, and states that do not currently have a sales tax would not be required to participate.
The bill has caused a wide divide between supporters and opponents. Online companies like Amazon and brick-and-mortar giants like Wal-Mart and Target support the bill, while other online giants like eBay oppose it. It has also created a divide within the Republican party; many conservative Republican lawmakers who are anti-tax and pro-business are against the bill, while others are acknowledging their small business constituents' desires and supporting it.
More important that the benefits to states are the effects such a law would have on low-income families. In general, poorer families pay a larger share of their income in sales taxes than better-off families do because they have to spend almost everything they earn. The Internet sales tax, though still regressive, might have less of an effect on low-income consumers since they are not heavy users of online shopping. Low-income families' lack of home computers, high-speed Internet, and lack of credit cards relative to higher income families means that they are already paying state sales taxes when they shop in traditional stores. The bill, if passed, merely levels the playing field by ensuring that everyone else pays the tax too. Moreover, the increased revenues from sales taxes could help states fund the types of public programs that benefit these communities—job training, education, public health—which have been cut due to state budgets.
Thus, the vote, which is scheduled for May 6th , is an important one for states and low-income communities they are trying to serve.
