Blue Light in the Bedroom

The sun is the major source of lighting for us during the day, while LED lighting illuminates our nights, specifically in the bedroom.

Thanks so much for clicking on WMUR's Adopt This Pet.
In this edition we would like to tell you about Pets In Need Animal Rescue. They are an all-volunteer organization that operates through foster homes. Today we want you to meet Piper, a two-year old Lab/Pit mix who was rescued as a stray.
Piper is an extremely well-behaved dog who knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and is great on car-rides; she is house/crate-trained. But Piper should definitely continue her obedience training. She is a young, energetic dog and needs to go to an active family. Because she is strong and full of energy she could unintentionally knock over a small child, so it would be best if Piper goes to a home with older kids. She gets along with other dogs, but should be tested with cats.
** Important thing to mention is that Piper has skin allergies which is well controlled by a hypoallergenic diet!**
Piper is very affectionate, loves belly rubs, and loves the company of people, especially if toys, or a game of fetch are involved.
Piper is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all her vaccines.

ClamXav 2.3 arrives signed, reduces RAM usage
On the way, but not there yet. Mark Allen's open source-based ClamXav runs just fine (your mileage may vary) in Apple's upcoming OS X Mountain Lion. The app is now signed and good to go vis-a-vis GateKeeper, though sandboxing is only partly implemented.
ClamXav 2.3 (version history) is now available for direct download. As of this writing, the version hadn't yet shown up in the Mac App Store. There are many small changes in the release, but here are the salient bullet points for your consideration:
• Updated ClamAV engine to 0.97.5
• App signed with Developer ID for Gatekeeper in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
• Big changes under the hood to support sandboxing, though sandboxing not yet enabled
• Log automatically rotates when it reaches 5MB
• Reworked the logic in Sentry to lower the RAM usage and keep it at a more constant level
Because ClamXav is now signed code, Mountain Lion users can download, use and update this app with a sense of assurance. Sandboxing, a security feature that prevents app misbehavior, isn't yet fully implemented however.
Get ClamXav via the Mac App Store (free) or download it direct.

MSU Sends CB Recruit 2nd Odd Letter
August 6th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
It's unclear whether Class of 2014 CB recruit Marlon Humphrey – the son of Alabama legendary RB Bobby Humphrey – enjoyed the hand-drawn can of "SWAG" that Mississippi State sent him back in April. Nonetheless, because of the attention that letter got, the Bulldogs staff continued with their one-of-a-kind recruiting strategy in trying to lure Humphrey to Starkville.
Here's MSU's most recent letter to Humphrey, courtesy of defensive coordinator Geoff Collins.
Sure enough, there's the can of "SWAG" again. And the tiny biceps on the stick figure rendering of Humphrey in the middle ("Fruit Punch" is his nickname) is a nice touch.

Guest [Sign in / Register]
The chapter doesn't start out well: Tippi's abducted by a fat, nerdy gecko! Another Pixl was around to witness it, and he joins you temporarily (but isn't usable). To get this pixl, come back after getting your 4th pure heart, and he'll gladly join your party. Continue through the level until you reach yet another tall pipe blocking your way. Flip to 3D to find the flip block, then hit it and climb over the pipe.
At the top of a pipe is a brick you can hit that will reveal a ladder leading up to a star door. You can go through the door and defeat some enemies and get a couple of bonus items, but not much else is there. (Head left after entering the door and use the springy enemy to hop on top of the tall pipe and grab the special character card in the background). You'll find a wooden sign with a backwards message that hints at where you need to go next ("fall in between the red pipes") after wiping out enemies with a Mega Star, but it applies to the "main" area.
If you don't go through the door, just continue through the level where you are. You'll come across the red pipes, but don't jump down just yet -- continue to the end of the path and defeat the Kameks along the way (and don't touch the Cursya!). Hop into the pipe at the end to be taken into the background. Continue and go down another pipe to go underground and find another item. Take out the blue Growmebas and you'll end up outside again. Continue to the left to get an Ice Storm. Once you're done there, go back and return to the foreground.
Now you can go hop down between the red pipes. The hole leads to an underground area reminiscent of World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. There's not much to say here -- just dodge the enemies (especially the Piranha Plants) and make it to the pipe at the end. If you try to be clever and use the warp trick like in the old days, the warp pipes will just take you back outside. D'oh!
Once you exit the proper way, you'll have to deal with a bunch of sporty, shell-kicking Koopas. You can get some decent chunks of experience points if you hop on every one as they come in, then kick their shells into one another to get rid of them.
Continue towards the end until you reach the castle, and Bowser's minions challenge you to get through. Again, it's pretty straightforward here: just jump through and navigate the gauntlet of bad guys. At the end, one of the castles will have a big red X on the side. Use Boomer to place himself next to it, then press the 1 button again to detonate him instantly. Success!
Oops, not exactly -- Bowser's appeared, and he's upset! He challenges Mario to a fight. Bowser likes to jump around the little arena a lot, but all you have to do is use Boomer and correctly place him near where Bowser lands. Detonate Boomer at the right time and you'll strike Bowser! Do it about two more times while avoiding Bowser's flames as well, and the big lout will have toasted himself.
After a long conversation with Peach and Mario, Bowser will join the team! Okay, so he's not Luigi, but he'll do. You can use his fire attack by pressing down on the D-pad. After that, the star block is just a few paces ahead.

The service, held at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan, included words of tribute from Jagger as well as Scott's brother, Randy Bambrough; her good friend actress Ellen Barkin; fashion personality André Leon Talley; and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, according to a statement from Jagger's publicist Vicki Scarfone.
Poems were shared by Scott's niece, Hannah Bambrough, and Jagger's son, James Jagger. The Rolling Stones rocker's grandchildren, Mazie and Zak, read Psalm 23. Besides Jagger's rendition of the Dylan song, his longtime backup singer Lisa Fischer sang "Amazing Grace."
Christopher Sadowski / Splash News Online
Others attending included actresses Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, Olivia Munn and Renée Zellweger; Vogue editor Anna Wintour; film directors Martin Scorsese and Baz Luhrmann; and Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter. Fans lined against barricades to take photos.

For years I used my Handheld Compaq C140 with my old PC which was
running Windows 95.
Now I have a newer PC which runs Windows XP.
It appears that the Compaq C140 Handheld Computer has become a legacy
problem for Windows XP.
The software, a CD-Rom, which came with the C140 was designed for
Windows 95.
This is the software that installed the HPC Explorer on the PC and
allowed for communication between the PC and the HPC.
Probably the only choice left to me now is to give away the C140 to
someone that can use it with a Windows 95 or 98 PC.

When it comes to criminal waste of time and talent, it would be hard to top this would-be romantic comedy, which Gene Wilder wrote, directed and stars in as a married, middle-aged advertising executive going through a pro forma mid-life crisis. Gilda Radner has a bit—she's scandalously under-employed—as a woman in Wilder's office who thinks she's going to benefit from the crisis. Stevie Wonder wrote and performs most of the soundtrack songs, which are more like fragments. (Having access to the ability of Stevie Wonder and trashing it in this way ought to be a capital offense.) The supporting cast includes Charles Grodin, Judith Ivey, Joseph Bologna and, as the woman in red whose appearance galvanizes Wilder's adulterous impulses, Kelly Le Brock, a stunning English-born model who in real life is married to the film's producer, Victor Drai. Despite all that it has going for it, the movie is spurious in the extreme. The only affecting moment comes in a brief scene where Wilder, having learned that his old crony, Grodin, is gay, attempts to comfort him. But that's like finding a pinhead-size dollop of caviar in a bathtub full of Jell-O. The film drones on through all the clichés of infidelity to a resolution that isn't emotionally, morally or comedically satisfying. It's all on the order of 86 minutes of foreplay that leads to a limp, sweaty handshake. (PG-13)

Okay, so Righteous Kill (381 screens) wasn't the world's greatest movie. At best it was rudimentary -- and at worst, it was outright stupid. But I have to admit, I got a giant-sized kick out of seeing Robert De Niro and Al Pacino together for the first time (aside from not appearing together in The Godfather Part II and appearing together only briefly in Heat). They had a wonderful banter going that suggested they'd been pals for 30 years. However, we had a right to expect more from two guys who are considered among the greatest screen actors of all time.
This label, I think, has only hurt their careers, because now we tend to think of them in terms of hot and cold. Everyone remembers De Niro in Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and Pacino in The Godfather films and Scarface, but what have they done for us lately? And why on earth did Pacino win an Oscar for Scent of a Woman, of all things? Then we have their most recent films to contend with, De Niro's amiable but lightweight What Just Happened?(36 screens) and Pacino's ultra-lame 88 Minutes. But let me suggest that we ignore the hot-cold concept and concentrate instead on some warmth? After all, both actors have given terrific performances in recent years that deserve some consideration.
Let's start with Pacino. He has made far fewer films than De Niro (he hasn't even reached 50 yet), but has made some very interesting decisions. Everyone loves Scarface, but his other, superb film with De Palma, Carlito's Way (1993), has yet to earn the same kind of love -- at least in this country. And I often find myself defending the great, sad, elegiac Godfather Part III, which is often attacked merely because it's not Godfather I or II. More recently, he was terrific in The Insider (1999) -- though Russell Crowe stole much of his thunder with a showier performance -- also in Christopher Nolan's Insomnia (2002) remake, and as a defiant, spiteful Shylock in The Merchant of Venice (2004). Not to mention his ferocious work for William Friedkin in Cruising (1980), which saw a re-release last year.
De Niro has a longer and spottier record with more guilty pleasures; I'm fond of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) and The Score (2001) in the face of much disdain. But Stardust (2007) has many fans, including myself. It's hard to forget his moving work in Alfonso Cuaron's colorful, sexy Great Expectations (1998), and Casino (1995) has turned out to be one of Scorsese's most energetic and powerful films (its biggest failing is that it's not GoodFellas). But in the past 20 years, De Niro's best work has to be in Jackie Brown (1997), for which he was virtually unnoticed; his half brain-dead Louis was always just a beat behind the other characters, lost in some distant cloud of fuzz.
The thing about these guys is that, despite their stardom, they tend to disappear into a role, so that even six months later, it's hard to remember that you just saw them in something else. When we see them in something great, it's not surprising; they're the greatest actors in the world. But when we see them in something bad, they're just lazy and all of their recent films have been terrible. It's time to remember the middle ground, check their filmographies and find some perspective.

If you pretend HIV is not a predominantly gay disease in America, then you can be shocked, surprised and confused as to why women make up a higher percentage of HIV infections in Africa than in the developed world. The NY Times goes to extremes to find out why this may be the case (parasites!) without asking a simple question: what percentage of HIV infections are gays in sub-Saharan Africa? Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one, but no one wants to believe it. Answering questions, or looking at phenomena, is much tougher when the narrative must be shoehorned into every piece of analysis.
The article starts off with a mystery so simple, any kid who remembers the HIV-AIDS scare of the late '80s-early '90s knows the answer.
While around the world a vast majority of AIDS victims are men, Africa has long been the glaring exception: Nearly 60 percent are women. And while there are many theories, no one has been able to prove one. In a modest public health clinic behind a gas station here in South Africa's rural KwaZulu/Natal Province, a team of Norwegian infectious disease specialists think they may have found a new explanation. It is far too soon to say whether they are right. But even skeptics say the explanation is biologically plausible. And if it is proved correct, a low-cost solution has the potential to prevent thousands of infections every year. The Norwegian team believes that African women are more vulnerable to H.I.V. because of a chronic, undiagnosed parasitic disease: genital schistosomiasis (pronounced shis-to-so-MY-a-sis), often nicknamed "schisto."
What percentage of African AIDS cases are gays? Some more tap-dancing is later in the article.
For years, theories have abounded as to why African women become infected with H.I.V.: for example, that they are more likely to have overlapping sexual partners — not always by choice — while women elsewhere have boyfriends or husbands in series. That rape, incest and domestic violence are rife in southern Africa, where the AIDS epidemic is worst. That syphilis and herpes are rampant. That impoverished, fatherless young women are forced to pay with sex for food, clothes, grades and even car rides.
They get infected the same way first world women do: unprotected sex or IV drug use. No IV drug use, it must be unprotected sex. What is "overlapping sex partners"? Is this a euphemism for they have sex with multiple men, which puts them at risk of sex with a super spreader? I am worried I may commit a thought crime here, so New York Times, tell me what is safe to think and say. Fortunately, the article does cite experts who doubt this theory. They point out the presence of the schisto parasite in regions with lower HIV infection rates. Anyone ask if the 60% of HIV infections being women lines up with other STDs that show more women infected than men (herpes).
Women make up more infections in Africa because homosexuality is more concentrated in the developed world. They have problems in Africa like rape, lack of condom use, and promiscuity. This parasite explanation is a joke. It does not stand up, but it is not meant to stand up. The theory is being selected and boosted in the Times because the Times wants you to see African ladies in the field and feel pity that a parasite is making them catch HIV. Shucks, why are women 60% of HIV cases in Africa but much less elsewhere? It couldn't be the gay vector to the disease being different in different regions. What gay vector, you homophobe? It couldn't be rape: that might take them dangerously close to mentioning the absurd prevalence of rape in South Africa, the glorious rainbow nation. Nor could it be promiscuity: no, that would be slut-shaming.
HIV causes the progressive media to play hopscotch often because the most afflicted are protected groups and it is usually a preventable disease. It is not the fault of the women. It is not the fault of rapists or men who cannot be bothered to use a condom (weird, African descendants are overrepresented in HIV infections in the US, too, hmmm). It is a bug. A parasite you cannot see, but you pick up simply by being outside. O cruel fates.

State-owned oil giant Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, plans to add between eight and 12 offshore platforms to its fleet, making it the world's largest operator of jack-up, or self-elevating, and modular rigs, CEO Emilio Lozoya Austin said.
"Currently, Pemex Exploration and Production (PEP) carries out its marine drilling activities via 41 platforms, five semisubmersible and 36 self-elevating, as well as 26 modular units," Lozoya Austin said in a statement.
The CEO discussed Pemex's plans during a visit to Singaporean shipbuilding firm Keppel FELS, which is building two jack-up drilling rigs that will be used in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the first half of 2015.
"Pemex is in the middle of the most ambitious drilling program in decades," Lozoya Austin said.
Earlier this week, Lozoya Austin took delivery of two ships from South Korea's SPP Shipbuilding Group.
Pemex, the world's No. 4 oil producer with output of about 2.5 million barrels per day, is the biggest contributor to Mexico's Treasury. EFE

State Representative Peter McCoy (R-Charleston) was recognized yesterday by the Children's Hospital of Greenville Health Systems as the Legislator of the Year.
McCoy received the honor for his support and work for children's issues in the state.
In accepting the award, Rep. McCoy focused on the need to protect and serve our future generations and his commitment to do that in the state legislature.
He also used the opportunity, standing in front of influential medical professionals, job creators and community leaders from across the state, to discuss his High School Concussion Bill which is now law and his Mandatory Reporting of Child Sexual Abuse Bill, which passed the House 112-0 in May.
"From protecting our high school athletes when they suffer concussion like symptoms, to protecting the innocence of children by expanding the reporting of child sexual abuse, to fighting for fiscal
responsibility on all levels of government so the next generation is not drowned by levels of debt they will never be able to get out of – we must do all we can to protect our future generations, so they can
have better opportunities than we have," McCoy said.
He continued: "I am honored to be recognized for my work and give you my commitment here today that I will continue to work endlessly to make South Carolina the best state in the nation for future generations."

As a tech nerd, one of the things I love most about my job is the constant exposure to new technology.
In my position, I'm surrounded by all the ideas our engineers are working on and often I get to experiment with what's being developed long before it ever hits a retail shelf.
And after all these years – it never fails – I continue to be stunned by what new technology enables us to do.
Here's just one example.
Researchers looking to make advancements in medicine, science and other fields require major computing power to run experiments, simulations, etc. But often these non-profit research programs don't have the resources to purchase the costly super computers they require.
As a result, a group of dedicated software programmers and engineers have developed a fascinating solution. Your VAIO PC and IBM's World Community Grid can make all the difference without lifting a finger – literally.
How it works:
Through advanced networking technology that combines little pieces of spare processing power from millions of PCs around the globe, scientist are granted access to what is the equivalent of one of the world's fastest super computers. This technology speeds up research by crunching numbers and performing simulations that would have otherwise took hundreds of years to perform on typical computers.
When you activate the World Community Grid on your VAIO, it creates a "free and open source lab for researchers around the globe" by tapping your PCs surplus processing power. It detects idle time in your computer activity – when you're away from the PC, for example – and takes advantage of those lulls by initiating calculations.
Simply put, the World Community Grid goes to work when you're not.
Once you start typing or browsing again, the World Community Grid app stops immediately – so it never interferes with what you're doing.
The app even lets you track your activity with a screensaver indicating what project your computer is working on and the progress you're helping to make towards that research.
A Smallpox Miracle:
IBM and others sponsored a research project aimed at accelerating the discovery of a cure for smallpox.
By leveraging the power of distributed computing, scientist were able to screen 35 million potential drug molecules against several smallpox proteins to identify good candidates for developing into smallpox treatments.
In the first 72 hours, 100,000 results were returned and by the end of the project, 44 strong treatment candidates had been identified.
Out of the success of this early project, World Community Grid was born and opened to the public.
Why it's important:
Now, with the aid of the World Community Grid, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute are making advances in HIV/AIDS drug research. Meanwhile, French scientists are tackling the proteins involved in muscular dystrophy. Scientists at the University of Washington are also hard at work, developing hardier and healthier strains of rice – a staple important to many people around the world.
As more people participate, the computing power of World Community Grid grows exponentially and more research projects can leverage its power to uncover solutions that benefit us all.
As more people participate, the computing power of the World Community Grid grows exponentially and more research projects can leverage its power to uncover solutions that benefit us all.
How Sony is involved:
Sony has partnered with the World Community Grid to further assist with the development of this life-changing technology. Starting now, all Sony VAIO PCs – excluding Atom based laptops – will come equipped with World Community Grid software that users can opt to run. Sony fans already equipped with a VAIO can download the app here.
So join the VAIO team now! Click the live VAIO team ticker below for real time stats on the contributions our team is already making. In fact, as of the date of this article, VAIO owners have already contributed over 22,900 hours of processing time!
So as more and more Sony fans join the cause, the computing power of the World Community Grid grows exponentially and more research projects can leverage its power to uncover solutions that benefit us all. And as our team grows, I'll provide regular updates on the contributions Sony fans are making plus bring you behind-the-scenes interviews with the people behind the technology and stories from research projects that benefit from your processing time.

Ellen Page may have been keeping her sexuality private prior to her coming out on Friday, but actress Jane Lynch believes now is not the time to dwell on the past.
In her speech at Friday's Time to THRIVE conference benefitting LGBT youth, Page said she was "tired of lying by omission."
Joining the long list of celebrities who are applauding Page's decision to speak out, the Glee star told PEOPLE on Saturday that she can easily relate to the pressure the young actress has faced.
"When I was younger, I lied by omission. She should give herself a break and not call it 'lying,' " Lynch, who is also openly gay, told PEOPLE during the Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards in Hollywood.
"But I know what it is to feel like you can't be open and honest about your orientation. Good for her!"
Following Page's announcement, celebrities took to Twitter to praise the Oscar-nominated actress for her powerful speech.
"Thank you @HRC and everyone for all the love and support. X," Page Tweeted on Friday.

As the volleyball season turns into the home stretch, Goose Creek High School is aiming for a strong finish.
The first step is simply to focus and become more consistent, Lady Gators coach Jay Watterworth said.
"Finish Strong, we put those two words on our wall," he said after the Lady Gators defeated Stratford 25-10, 25-13 on Thursday of last week at GCHS to complete a season sweep of the series. "What we're working on is being consistent and finishing."
Goose Creek (13-12-2) won the other region meeting with its rival 25-15, 25-19 on Sept. 17.
The win locked up at least a finish for third in Region 7-AAAA behind champion Wando and West Ashley.
The Lady Gators let a chance to tie for second slip through their grasp, losing 2-1 to West Ashley on Oct. 8. They won the first game 25-20 but lost a pair of 25-18 games to fall to the Lady Wildcats.
"A lot of it is immaturity and focus, and that comes from a lot of sophomores and freshmen having to play."
Against Stratford, Shakayia Wilson led the way with 14 kills, while Kalexia Wilson added 11 digs. Setter Diemend Richardson had 22 assists and eight digs.
Before facing Stratford, the Lady Gators lost to Class A power Branchville 25-22, 11-25, 12-25.
Richardson had 16 assists. Shakayia Wilson had eight kills and Kalexia Wilson added nine digs.
Stratford also lost to Branchville.
The Lady Gators play their last home game on Tuesday, Oct. 15 against county rival Hanahan, then travel to Wando to tangle with the powerful Lady Warriors and James Island.
They finish up at Cane Bay on Oct. 22. A win over the Lady Cobras would give Goose Creek third place outright and send the Lady Gators into the playoffs on Oct. 29 against the Region 8-AAAA champion.
Goose Creek won the first encounter with Cane Bay 26-24, 25-17 on Sept. 26.

The international research center IGK Work and Human Lifecycle in Global History (Humboldt-Universitńt zu Berlin) and the History Workshop of the Witwatersrand University (Johannesburg) will hold a Summer Academy exploring the historical and contemporary meanings of work in relation to generation/ life course in different socio-economic and cultural contexts. The Academy is open for doctoral students working in the field of work/labour from historical and other social sciencesĺ perspectives and will be held at the Valley Lodge at Magaliesburg near Johannesburg between December 1 and December 8, 2012.
The need for an intensive engagement with these issues arises from a fundamental redefinition of work and generation/ life course that has emerged along with rapid globalisation. The Summer Academy shall focus methodologically on historical perspectives that investigate global interconnections and entanglements and/or employ methodologies of comparison. The critical reflection of general comparative notions such as Ĺwork and labour,ĺ Ĺgeneration,ĺ Ĺlife course,ĺ Ĺintergenerational changesĺ and Ĺlabour processĺ should be part of the individual projects presented at the Summer Academy.
The following aspects, among others, should be central to the projects and discussions:
- work change within generations/ oneĺs life
- child labour/childrenĺs work
- old age labour
- ideas of a Ĺnormalĺ working life/ career
- households
- formal vs. informal work
- unemployment, non-work
- work and welfare
- work and retirement
- training, apprenticeship, long life learning
- work and demography
Moreover, the Summer Academy will also provide space for an in depth discussion of methodological issues. The Summer Academy will be led by renowned historians and social scientists from around the world.
Selected participants will present their projects (40 minutes) and comment on a project of a peer (20 minutes). Moreover it is obligatory that all participants hand in an essay on specific topics related to the summer schoolĺs theme prior to the event.
To participate in the Summer Academy research scholars at the doctoral level need to apply with a brief outline of their current project (max. 3 pages) and a two pages essay on how their work relates to the themes of the Summer Academy and how they can contribute to it. These should be submitted electronically along with their CV and the names of two referees. Proposed projects should assume a historical perspective and will be particularly pertinent if they take account of connections beyond the nation state and attempt to reflect upon the possibilities of connecting regional and systematic approaches. This does not exclude carefully contextualized case studies. Travel and lodging costs of the selected participants will be covered by the organisers of the Summer Academy.
We welcome relevant applications from all parts of the globe. Candidates from Africa are particularly encouraged to apply.
Please use the electronic form on our website: http://rework.hu-berlin.de; we can ONLY accept electronically submitted applications!
The deadline for applications is June 15, 2012.
Please send your application to:

A very well conceptualized article. The reality of leaders is truly shaded in these six levels.
Louise Miller Frost Jul 21, 2011
I found this really interesting, particualrly the downsides of the "Achiever" with their short-term personal gains. How many times do we come across these people who put their short term gains over the long term future of the orgnaisation as a whole.

LANSING -- The constitutional rights of more than 1,000 inmates serving life sentences in Michigan prisons have been violated ever since parole policies were toughened in the 1990s, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Marianne Battani said the cumulative effect of the parole changes violate the U.S. Constitution's ban on laws being applied retroactively.
She released her decision earlier this week, and has yet to decide what her ruling means for 1,000 to 1,200 Michigan prisoners sentenced before 1992 to life in prison with the possibility of parole. The ruling does not affect inmates sentenced after 1992.
"Men and women have been waiting since 1992 for constitutional parole hearings," said Paul Reingold, a University of Michigan law professor who brought the lawsuit on behalf of seven prisoners in 2005. The suit has class-action status.
Since the early 1990s, prisoner advocates say, the Michigan Parole Board has been less willing to release inmates sentenced to life with the possibility of parole.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a life sentence for a crime meant some inmates -- except those convicted of first-degree murder -- ultimately would be released, assuming they had behaved well and did not have a substantial prior record.
Some Michigan judges have said they never intended that those criminals remain in prison for life. Back then, some people serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole could be released sooner than those given a fixed sentence such as 25 years.

With the 2012-13 regular season fast approaching, the honeymoon period is over for all of the soon-to-be rookies in the NBA.
Their performances in the Orlando and Vegas Summer Leagues no longer matter: It's time for the league's first-year players to answer the bell in games that actually count in the standings.
As with any profession, there are those among them who, for a variety of reasons, have an added level of pressure and responsibility. As the year progresses, it will be interesting to see whether these players shoulder the burden or crumble under the bright lights of the Association.

Would you be interested in Sustainable Development project or would you have interest towards permaculture farming? Then try these ventures at Slovakia !
No longer available, expired!
The Progromme Starts on: July 2012and ends on, 2013. július
Way to apply: Please send your CV and the letter of Motivation to kati (at) messzelato (dot) hu-ra, and the subject matter would be: "Szlovák EVS - Alter Nativa"
Yould could learn about the organisation and the project here in Englishl:
Proposed activities for EVS volunteers
We can offer to volunteers in terms of service and learning opportunities.
Concerning educational values we offer the opportunity to participate in our projects, that is building up the structures according to alternative masonry technologies, ecological farming i.e. market-gardening and stock raising, vegetable and fruit processing. Our project also includes running the local Community Centre which provides mostly latest information from the above mentioned topics.
The accomodation facility is situated directly in the village. Volunteers will be provided with the room of his/her own (or with one another volunteer in one room if agreed), shared bathroom and kitchen. There is one grocery store in the village, other services are available in Rožňava town (30 km) or village of Štítnik (15 km). Bus links to mentioned places are available four times a day, once a week we offer a journey by our van.
Role of EVS volunteers in the host organisation
Volunteers will be actively involved in the common life and activities of the organisation, they will help with building the structures of the Centre, ecological planting and tree planting(eco-orchard, forest garden), and they will participate in the organizing the social and cultural events for local community as well as the volunteers. After becoming acquainted with the work in our small library, they should be able to manage basic works for distribution of sustanabilty related literature and other products.
Beginning in July 2012
The project begins in July 2012 and it will last for 12 months, the 30th of April 2012 is deadline for submitting the application with all the documents required (CV and the motivation letter).
Service description:
This Service will promote the active citizenship of young people participating in the project by involving them mentally, emotionally and physically in daily activities of the project. From the theory (short seminar), passing through the motivational area of the group – the volunteers will "touch the thoughts and emotions" in the practical "green" activities connected mostly with global environmental challenges and sustainable rural development. Living, meeting and fulfilling tasks together with people from other European countries volunteers will have a chance to understand and develop solidarity and tolerance among young people. Every minute of their Service will give them opportunity for intercultural learning in a non-formal way.
This EVS is being developed as a continual collaboration between Hungarian and Slovak NGOs working in the youth field and it strengthens and develops the relationship which will promote future European cooperation in the youth field.
Main themes of the Service are Environment, Nature protection, Permaculture and Sustainable rural development.
This Service will enable volunteers to be actively involved in the projects and non-profit activities of Alter Nativa connected with the programme Centre of the Alternative Lifestyle.
The Service will continue the project with local, regional and old varieties of fruit trees with aim to save biological resources (seed-saving) and to create local food production and self-sufficiency. This includes ecological planting and tree planting (eco-orchard, forest gardening), young trees grafting, renewal of uncared orchards (cutting grass, treating old fruit trees, fertilization) and creating natural gardens (preparation of the soil, sowing seeds, planting). The fruit trees research contains localization of trees with GPS and camera, collecting biological samples of trees (leaves, buds, fruits, flowers), measuring and evaluating of collected samples and data processing afterwards.
The seasonal outdoor activities of the project also include managing the functional local recycling system (sorting the collected materials, practical education on waste disposal ways) and assistance at building small natural structures around the village (compost sites, wooden bridges, corrals, ponds, fruit-dryer, herbal spirals etc.).
Volunteers will take part in organising public courses on organic/natural agriculture (Permaculture), preparation of materials for workshops (such as osiers, barking the trees, wedging the clay) and they will assist with actual work in workshops (making of baskets, home-made carpets, pottery, bowls, spruce shingles, birch brooms).
According to actual needs we are building new structures or reconstructing existing buildings in property of Alter Nativa. All of these building works are made in the most possible natural way, using natural (mostly) local materials (stone, clay, wood, straw, sand etc)and nature friendly building techniques (hand-work, hand-tools, slow processes).
Another daily activity is taking care of some of our animals (goats, cow, chicken) – grazing, milking, feeding, producing milk and cheese, collecting eggs, cleaning stables and animals.
After becoming acquainted with the work in our Community centre and a new small library, volunteers should be able to help the local people and visitors looking up the desired information via internet or books in library.
The same place is used to provide distribution of literature concerning sustainability and home-made local products.
All the activities are prepared and explained in regular weekly and monthly meetings of EVS coordinator and supervisor with other colleagues of Alter Nativa team. At these meetings we make planning for next period and also the evaluation of previous activities. In the beginning of the Activity, the supervisor is present before starting particular activity to explain in details and to show volunteers what to do. This is the space for volunteer's questions, ideas and suggestions. After a time, volunteers are lead to work independently to fulfil their tasks and some activities are built as a team work with other local volunteers. This method is leading a volunteer to gain a sense for responsibility and independency and, on the other hand, the ability to work as a part of team in an intercultural, international environment.
We expect and motivate our volunteers to bring and put forward their own ideas and opinions about the organisation's strategy and life. We provide them space to share their previous experience and to do things in the way they think or know will bear good results in their individual future.
All the activities will through the non-formal learning help volunteers to acquire practical skills, "green" skills and also knowledge about sustainable lifestyle, ecology, alternative technologies, local exchange-trading systems (alternative economics), self-employment opportunities in the remote and relatively isolated rural parts of the country.
For some of our activities (courses, festivals) we invite other EVS volunteers in Slovakia so our volunteers have informal meetings with many different nationalities, cultures during working or free time.
Weekly timetable:
In general, the structure of the week has this content: 30% preparation, instructions, training; 50% particular work; 10% meetings with the organisation's members and the target group; 10% Slovak language course.
The timetable is the same for both volunteers who will fulfil their tasks together as a team or divided to different places with other local volunteers or members of Alter Nativa.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00-12:00 – taking care of animals, feeding and grazing, managing and maintaining suitable living conditions for animals; processing of animal products (milk, cheese, eggs etc)
Slovak language classes – Monday and Friday (2 hours)
Tuesday, Thursday 9:00-12:00 - recycling works, sorting the collected materials, education on waste disposal ways; indoor orchard research activities (data processing, measuring biological samples, taking pictures).
12.00-13.00 – lunch;
Monday to Friday 13:30-16:30 – outdoor activities, i.e. renewal of uncared orchards, outdoor orchard research activities (see above), seasonal farming works, natural building, assistance at building small structures around the village (compost sites, wooden bridges, fowl house, corrals, ponds, herbal spirals etc.), assistant works in workshops (preparation of materials such as osiers, debarking the trees, wedging the clay) and actual work in workshops (making of baskets, pitchers, bowls, spruce shingles, birches).
The tasks and positions of individual volunteers in a timetable will be changed according to actual needs of organisation and volunteers so that they will take part and get experience in all activities.
Total amount of working hours of volunteers is 30 hours per week. The volunteer has the right to have 2 free days per week (Sunday and the day he would choose) and 2 days of holiday per month. We will be pleased if the volunteer takes part in the assistance and preparation of the organisation's activities (courses, trainings, meetings and seminars, etc.) which usually take place on weekends. In that case she/he will obtain an equal time off. For six months of service she/he will get 12 days of holidays. Of course, if there are any urgent events she/he can leave for some days after consulting with the supervisor and the project manager.
Many of our activities held outside are dependent on weather conditions. Therefore we might be pressed to adjust the timetable to actual seasonal conditions. In case of suitable weather the outdoor activities may last for 1 or 2 hours longer or the midday break may last longer in hot weather. Of course, the total amount of working hours per week will be not changed.
Accommodation and food
The accommodation facility is situated directly in the village. Volunteers will stay in the room of their own or shared with one more volunteer in a house with other EVS volunteers. There is a shared bathroom and kitchen in their house. Food preparation is individual or as a group after agreement with other volunteers (all necessary equipment is provided in shared kitchen). There is a shop opened daily in the village, other services are available in Rožňava - district town (30 km) or in a village of Štítnik (15 km). Bus links to mentioned places are available four times a day, once a week we can offer a journey by our van.

Japan to Hold Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction
9 November 2011: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) has announced that the Government of Japan will host two meetings related to disasters, including an international conference to share lessons from the Great East Japan Earthquake in late 2013, and the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in 2012.
According to UN/ISDR, the Japanese offer was made during the debate on the latest report of the Secretary-General on Implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (A/66/301) to the Second Committee (Economic and Financial) of the UN General Assembly (UNGA).
The Third World Conference on Disaster Reduction is expected to develop a successor agreement to the international blueprint on DRR, the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015. Addressing the Second Committee, Margareta Wahlström, Assistant Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, underscored the need for a future framework on DRR to be anchored in the principles of sustainable development, incorporating disaster and climate risk management. She cited accountability for effective DRR as one of the critical challenges ahead. Wahlström also called for a "whole-of-society approach" to DRR. [UN/ISDR Press Release]

WARREN - This time there was no need for a midnight practice for the Warren G. Harding Raiders.
After a 51-46 win over the Warrensville Heights Tigers in a Lake Erie League game Friday, Raiders coach Andy Vlajkovich could only think about getting a good night of rest for the next challenge on the schedule. The impressive win over one of the Cleveland area's best teams proceeds a trip to St. Ignatius tonight for a battle against another of Cleveland's finest.
Vlajkovich, who conducted a practice after what he considered a pedestrian effort in a win over Boardman last week, was much more pleased with what he saw last night. The Raiders (4-1, 3-1 LEL) never trailed. The Tigers (3-1 and 3-1) tied the score at 46 late in the game, but the Raiders scored the final five points.

Warren G. Harding's Shondell Jackson, top, goes over Warrensville Heights' Jahmere Howze during the third quarter of their game on Friday night.
"I didn't think we played great, but we played tough," Vlajkovich said. "We were really good on the glass. That was by far our best defensive game of the year. I was really proud of our kids buying into what we were trying to do.
"They (the Tigers) are a very good team. They're a top 10 Plain Dealer team. They have a lot of guys back. They were a Division II regional finalist. That was a game we circled."
There's no way the Raiders win without a strong showing on the defensive end. The Tigers run the floor well, get after it on defense and hit the boards with aggressiveness.
Jahmere Howze, a 6-6 junior for the Tigers, was a load to handle, particularly in the second half. He scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
Stepping up to meet the challenge presented by Howze was 6-5 sophomore Shakem Johnson, who had 19 rebounds and 11 points. Johnson knew it was, in Vlajkovich's words, a circle game.
"My coaches told me I have to be aggressive and go out there and crash the boards," Johnson said. "I had to crash the boards and help my team out."
Given Johnson's rebounding work, to get 11 points from him was a bonus.
"The kid has a motor, and he's long," Vlajkovich said. "When you're 6-5 with a 6-7 wingspan and you have great energy, you can be a 19-rebound guy. He's an example that it doesn't take a lot of skill or you don't have to be a 20-a-game point guy to help your team win. He's getting better with all of his other aspects of the game."
Anthony Bell showed off his display of offensive moves in scoring a team-high 21 points for the Raiders. Shondell Jackson added 15 points, while Jarelle Johnson dished out eight assists.
Despite being inconsistent on the offensive end, the Tigers remained within striking distance throughout. They trailed 15-7 after the first quarter and 27-20 at halftime. With Howze scoring nine points in the third period, Warrensville got as close as one point (32-31) before Bell registered six of the next eight points to give the Raiders a 38-33 lead entering the fourth quarter.
"We were worried about C.J. Franklin and Yavari Hall, but the Howze kid was really good," Vlajkovich said.
The Raiders pushed their lead to seven points early in the fourth period, but the Tigers scored nine of the next 11 to tie score. Jackson then drove the baseline to give Harding the lead for good at 48-46.
The Tigers turned over the ball on their next possession. Jackson made another fielder, and Shakem made one free throw to seal the win.
"We got a lot of confidence (from the win)," Shakem Johnson said. "Now we have to go into the next game with the confidence and get a dub (win)."
