Little Book of Restorative Justice for Colleges and Universitiesby David Karp

From an Associate Dean of Student Affairs who has put these models to work on his campus.
Little Book of Restorative Justice for Colleges & Universitiesby David Karp
Here's a call to colleges and universities to consider implementing restorative practices on their campuses, ensuring fair treatment of students and staff while minimizing institutional liability, protecting the campus community, and boosting morale. From an associate dean of student affairs who has put these models to work on his campus. Restorative justice is a collaborative decision-making process that includes victims, offenders, and others who are seeking to hold offenders accountable by having them (a) accept and acknowledge responsibility for their offenses, (b) to the best of their ability, repair the harm they caused to victims and communities, and (c) work to reduce the risk of re-offense by building positive social ties to the community. David Karp writes in his introduction, "As a student affairs administrator, I have become deeply committed to the concept and practice of restorative justice. I have experienced how it can work given the very real pressures among campus conduct administrators to manage high case loads, ensure fair treatment, minimize institutional liability, protect the campus community, boost morale in a division with high turnover, and help students learn from their mistakes without creating insurmountable obstacles to their future successes. "

SP2 is designed to make your work with the Windows XP operating system even easier and safer by providing superior protection against viruses, hackers, and worms.

- Pink bollworm control: greatest environmental story seldom told
- Screwworm lessons
- Nightmare from the past
- The San Joaquin Valley escapes wrath of world's most destructive cotton pest for four decades thanks to the effort of thousands.
If all goes well with the final stages of the PBW eradication program, directed by the Arizona Cotton Research and Protection Council, pink bollworm will become a nightmare from the past.
Control and eradication of the pink bollworm is a remarkable accomplishment. I have written thousands of words on the subject since the mid-1960s when University of Arizona entomologist first started researching pheromones to monitor PBW life stages in the hopes of timing pesticides for the highest efficacy. It was called science fiction then by many growers, who said the only way to control pink bollworm was to spray cheap pesticides on weekly schedules. I also recall very contentious meetings in Imperial Valley where growers and University of California entomologists sparred over controlling pink bollworm.
There were also detractors in the San Joaquin Valley who said there was no need to fund the exclusion program. After all, the pink bollworm could never survive the cold, wet valley winters; the San Joaquin Valley was not the Arizona desert. The Cotton Pest Control Board accepted the recommendation of entomologists to erect small cages in the middle of SJV cotton fields, and introduce fertile pink bollworms into them to test that coffee shop theory. After watching three and four generations thrive in those cages, detractors faded away.
There may be some now who say with the eradication program nearing final success, there is no need to continue the program in the valley. That is nearsightedness. The need for sterile moth releases may lessen, but you can bet cotton industry leaders will continue to press for grower funding of ongoing mapping and monitoring of cotton fields.
The state-of-the-art PBW rearing facility may scale back, but it will likely remain ready to gear back up again if PBW returns or is utilized for rearing and sterilizing other pests for use in another control/eradication project. I am obviously no entomologist, but I can identify several troublesome lepidopterous pests in California who may be prime targets for a program like the PBW model.
I am reluctant to name names here for those who have played key roles in this extraordinary environmental accomplishment besides Jack, Wally and Richard. I would leave off someone in a list that would stretch for pages. However, at Wally's insistence he asked that I point out the career-long work of Bob Staten, a 'retired' USDA-ARS entomologist who has never stopped working toward the eradication of the pink bollworm. He is still in the thick of the eradication effort.
Staten is a bohemian entomologist. He is unquestionably brilliant, unconventional, unselfish and tireless. He never wavered from his passionate scientific belief that pink bollworm can be eradicated.
Reflecting back on this story, you wonder whether a similar program could be initiated today in this era of environmental radicalism. Sadly, I think it would be very challenging. We have already experienced the scientifically irrational behavior of some to the pheromone-focused control of the light brown apple moth (LBAM) in Northern California.
Can you imagine how the nutcases would react to the idea of rearing and irradiating insects to aerially drop them to overwhelm a native pest? The radicals would likely try to place pink bollworm into the Endangered Species Act.
Boldness is what it took 40 years ago when the army of committed growers and scientists embarked on turning back the pink bollworm. It is a success story that is worthy of the highest scientific recognition.

Headteacher Ann Betts said the move was necessary to prevent Waltham Forest Council from merging it with another school, and she also said Connaught would be £97,000 better off as a result.
But the council insisted there were no plans for a merger and disputed the claims about the alleged financial benefits.
The majority of governors were unconvinced by the council's assurances and twice voted to approve academy status.
The Department of Education has now rubber stamped the plans and on Friday Connaught officially gained the new status.
Academies are independent of council control and receive all their funding direct from the government.
The NUT has expressed concern that under this new independence there are no guarantees for staff terms and conditions, and claimed that academies suck funding away for resources shared by local authority controlled schools.
But Ms Betts said: "We are not changing our name, our curriculum or more importantly our ethos.
"By becoming an academy we are able to determine our own destiny and remain as a small successful girls' school.
"In recently published performance data, Connaught School for Girls achieved the highest figure for 5 A* - C GCSE grades in the borough.
"However, we are not complacent and this year we have many plans to maximise pupil progress such as improving literacy and numeracy levels, tracking pupils to prevent underachievement and supporting pupils` with regard to safety and behaviour."
Waltham Forest NUT secretary Steve White said staff were "very disappointed".
He added: "This decision was based on assumptions despite assurances from many people at the council that there were no merger plans.
"The staff are not happy but they would be happier if Ann Betts agrees to full trade union recognition, but I haven't had those assurances yet."

Yes - yesterday was a GREAT buying opportunity. Today still is a Good buy opportunity at current trading level.
You think this debt free stock paying a dividend will sell below it's cash holdings?What about the inventory, equipment, buildings, leases & office equipment?I doubt it, but I've been wrong before...
Looks like the swing of the pendulum is starting to go back up. Ocwersold at this level -even for someone dumping 6 times normal daily volume into the market. - At least as of 1:45 CST.
Welcome swing traders. Quick question: big move on no news, which way do you play it?

Middleware and the eSCaped Web
Network middleware to adapt web content for mobile devices is a very dynamic area. New players are emerging on all sides. There has been work in this area for the purpose of disability access for several years, and the W3C Note on guidelines for mobile-usable documents relies heavily on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Recommendation developed for disability access purposes. Here we consider how various middleware strategies perform against two usability criteria: fitness for use with small mobile devices, and fitness for use by people with disabilities.
Scalability Challenges
The World Wide Web has been a flaming success. It greatly increased the accessibility of Internet resources to everyday people and exploded the demand for Internet connectivity as a result. Now the cell phone industry is trying to get into the act. Offers of "wireless Web" abound in the advertising media. Can this success be transported to a dialog space based on the limited interaction capabilities of a wearable mobile device? It is not clear.
Interestingly enough, there is no one, world-wide answer to the question "Can I make my Web application play on my WAP-enabled phone?" Currently in the U.S. the answer is 'no,' while in Japan it is 'yes.' The "wireless Web" in the U.S. resembles our first figure above. U.S. wireless Web service is primarily based on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). This does not use the Web-standard HTML language for what is transmitted to the phone. So, connecting with this service only gains access to a limited coverage of Web sites where the sites have taken the trouble to edit their content or services into WAP-compatible WML (Wireless Markup Language) form. There are a few WAP-to-Web gateways available via the WAP network, but using them will probably convince you that the WAP architects were right not to assume that Web pages would serve a consumer-desired service when presented in this limited interaction space.
On the other hand, in Japan, the DoCoMo phone processes HTML and accesses services that cover Japanese Web sites. This service is quite popular. Part of this may be due to differences in the capability of the cell phone platform that the wireless web-services run over, and part of it may be due to differences in the prevailing style of web design in the two countries. But it is interesting that based on this evidence, the answer to our question is a definite 'maybe.'
A wild card in the above discussion is the emergence of voice portals, or telephone-delivered services such as TellMe and BeVocal. These services use voice in both directions, as opposed to the existing Interactive Voice Response systems where the user input is via the telephone keypad. They serve information similar to what works on a WAP phone, but they don't required a special phone. All it requires is your willingness to talk with a robot. This is a class of service that lets you keep your eyes on the road and still learn where the next Wendy's is up the road. The voice portal is a class of service that works for blind people "out of the box" with no adaptation. However, this is another nascent industry (like the wireless Web) where the existing data normalizations are not fully integrated with the W3C family of Recommendations.
Industry Response
Part of the magic of the Web was that it created an immense pool of information and service consumers. Tim Berners-Lee's strategy for universality worked, in large measure. This meant that any Web site had access to gazillions of people all around the world. The fact that the mobile Web was turning out to be an array of spaghetti-sized stovepipes, or a small row of pigeonholes, was not the effect that the developers wished. So there has been motion in the WAP Forum and the voice portal industry to try to recapture the "anyone, anywhere, connected to anything" capability that the Web seemed to promise.
This resulted in some workshops, one in Hong Kong in September, 2000 and another in Bristol, UK, in October, 2000. The first was titled "Multimodal Web" and the second "Device Independent Authoring." The first was mostly focused on what could be done to move toward convergence of voice and cell-phone-data service technology foundations. The second was more ambitious in the range of interaction spaces it considered targeting with common-source development of content. The workshops brought together people from varied backgrounds, so it is not surprising that a broad range of views were presented. These included some that amount to "It's just hard." Not too surprisingly, a countervailing "Sure, we can do it" note was struck by a leading database vendor. Developing content that gets served in a range of (user and device conditioned) views does sound a lot like database design, as suggested in our second figure, just above.
Precedents from Access Technology
At these workshops, especially in Bristol, the industrial participants came up against an interesting segment of the W3C community, the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). This is a domain within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) whose mission is to try to make sure that the "everyone" who are connected by the Web includes people with disabilities.
Accommodating the needs of people with disabilities has been the driver for many technical innovations down through the years, such as the typewriter and the long playing record. If one looks for it, one will find that disability access to Web information has been the motivation for some interesting work in active filters and gateways applied to Web content. One of these is the ",tablin" option on the W3C Web site that does some page transformations so tabular layouts will not confuse older screen readers that read only the screen, and are unaware of table cell boundaries. The BETSIE gateway developed to enhance disabled access to the BBC Web site and Silas Brown's Gateway are two other examples worth visiting to get an idea of what can, indeed be done.
An issue that confronts us in attempting to unify Web and phone services is that the collection of services crosses media lines. The same information will be presented in a phone service in audio recording and on a Web site in text, for example. For this reason, it pays to snoop around for multimedia precedents. Here the engagement of the deaf interest in obtaining captions for TV and multimedia content is important. This results in multimedia integration proposals like the W3C Synchronous Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) and the desired effect can be experienced on the Web by visiting pioneering service providers such as the Able Channel of TV on the Web.
Another point of pressure to take a robust approach to diverse media in Web accessibility comes from the members and advocates of the population with reading-related disabilities. For this audience, words can be a barrier to understanding, and facing too many of them can be a turn-off. The graphic cueing of what one is talking about and how the site works becomes paramount for these users. To get an idea of what is involved here, visit the pioneering Web site of peepo.com.
Most of these markets have major overlaps between them. There ought to be a more integrated way to serve them. The experience gained generating access solutions suggests a few ideas that should help, but does not provide a complete solution ready for prime time.
Working Hypotheses
The figure suggests that the diversity of demands from different devices, different people, and people in different situations all demands robustness from the web content or service designer. Upon reviewing the state of development of "mobile access to the Web" technology and markets with a background in gaining access for people with disabilities, a few ideas have come to us as to how this could work. We share the following for your consideration. What else can you think of?
For example, it appears that blind access and mobile access share an interest in better articulated information structure at a finer grain than what is captured in Web design or at least the HTML encoding of the Web content today. How so?
The dominant difference between the human:computer interface that a blind computer user uses and the GUI (Graphical User Interface) interaction space that the application designers assume has to do with the large, persistent buffer of human:computer shared information that the screen provides in GUI interaction that is largely absent in accessing computation via audio or Braille. Audio display is fleeting. None of it is static. In a windowing GUI the windows sit there on the screen and remind you of the set of things you were doing. Accessing the same multi-activity session by audio, one must cycle around through the open windows to gather that information. Although Braille is quite different and does have some persistent display, the scope of that display is limited to a single line of perhaps as many as 40 characters.
An example of this effect is seen in access to tabulated data, such as transit schedules. "True" table such as this (much HTML 'table' markup is simply used as a layout grid) have lots of similar data cells in the interior and headers ranged around the edges that explain what the data cells are telling you. When accessed in speech and Braille, the headers are "off screen" when the cell contents are read. This can lead to a breakdown in comprehensibility. High-end access technologies for blind users now incorporate functions to ensure that headers are used to help the user understand the contents of table cells. Through the efforts of the WAI, some additional markup capabilities were added to the HTML table model to ensure that the necessary cell-to-header relationships could be made explicit and unambiguous in HTML-encoded tables. Markup such as the links set up using the HTML 'headers' attribute reaches across the page to create a small pattern or logical neighborhood for each data cell. This if a data cell needs to be presented in a small display, these connections in the markup make explicit what information from outside the clip region is essential and needs to be brought along.
The WML format that is used in sending content to WAP phones uses a 'card' unit of content encapsulation that is displayable in the space of one or two wireless-device screenfuls. This, likewise, is a small unit of content. Rational organization of the cards requires understanding the relationships among the small chunks of information in an overt and machine-interpretable way to a finer grain than what it takes to put the same information up on the Web. Reviewing typical Web page designs, one can manually (by dint of human understanding of the intended effect) recognize and articulate that there is a rhetorical structure to the design that can be broken down in terms of more or less card-scale units of content. Inspecting the HTML coding of the page, however, reveals that this rhetorical or content structure is not well captured or exposed there. If the pages posted to the Web met the disability needs for overt internal organization, they would be in much better shape for automatic filtering into WML cards, and vice versa.
Similarly, to understand how to create a common information base that spans different media, it helps to review how SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) can be used to integrate a multi-media experience which is flexible enough to meet the needs of diverse users, including people with disabilities. The figure shows the three axes along which content is organized in the logical model of a SMIL presentation. There is sequence (SEQ) for time-ordering content elements (marked 'media' in the figure) into what comes first and what comes next. There is also a parallel (PAR) construct that defines streams that should be presented concurrently. Finally, there is a SWITCH construct that allows for the inclusion of ranges of alternatives. Selection among these choices is performed depending on the user's situation and equipment in the client-side processing by the SMIL player. The implementation of these three capabilities in SMIL is very mix-and-match. This allows for flexible construction of composites containing concurrency and choice from whatever sort of resource building blocks you have. It allows for merging streams received from different network locations in the client process, as well. This is relevant for the construction of command posts or consoles for net-distributed computations as on the Grid.
Based on the WAI experience with composing accessible content in HTML and SMIL, one can be cautiously optimistic for the economic viability of single-source content creation for a range of media. At least for the common capture of content for voice and wireless-data services. For example, a route-planning function that helps you determine how to use the local public transit to get where you need to go from where you are.
Perhaps for even broader bands of service as measured by communication data rate and interface size (in persistent bits of human:device shared content). In any case, the cadre of shared resources will be a pragmatic mix of more-encoded forms which can be transformed automatically into sight, sound, and touch; and bundles of less-encoded alternatives which cover the range of senses or media outlets by selection. An example of the first class of resource is text in HTML paired with a range of stylings in CSS. An example of the second category (bundle of low-level data alternatives) would be the pairing of a caption stream with an audio stream within a multimedia presentation. For example, the credit to a sponsor might be just a logo or single word on the WAP screen, and a full, multi-word name in the voice dialog. In the Web page presentation, all three of these forms would be used: the logo as an image, the full name as its 'title' attribute and the single-word shortening of the full name would be used as the 'alt' attribute for speed reading.
Effective commercial or scientific exploitation of multi-outlet content sourcing will take forethought. It is not enough to design Web pages and then try to post-process them into content fit for alternate media. One will need to think ahead what kinds of content or services are flowing through your process, and what kinds of interaction spaces they needs to be available in. Apply some sort of model normalization discipline to this supply vs. demand picture and you will have the basis for a cost-effective investment in resource reuse and the capability to connect with your customers whatever communication channel they prefer.
It's Happening; Get Involved!
Where to go with this? Well, the story is not over. This area of technology is evolving rapidly. Tomorrow's third generation cell phones will have greater bandwidth for data and at some point in the not-too-distant future mobile phones will support simultaneous exchange of both voice and data. At that point the medium becomes distinctly more attractive to consumers and as a platform for interactive services. To have the kind of broad perspective needed to successfully design a broad-gage content-sourcing or service-packaging strategy, you need to be involved in the communities where dialog is going on across broad swaths of the industry. Come join Trace personnel in pursuit of effective universal designs for infrastructure in community consultations like the following three.
The Grid Forum - The Grid Computing Environments Working Group in the Grid Forum is where people will be comparing what works and what doesn't in portal access to metacomputing. This group will be introducing an element of user-centric reality into the evolution of the Grid architecture. If you cannot participate, track what is happening. There are likely to be key insights you need to know about that you learn first here.
W3C/WAI - The Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium is an excellent chance to gain insight into human:computer interface realities from a broader base in human experience. And you know that the more diverse the vantage points from which you can observe something, the more depth you will gain in your perception of what is going on. In particular the Evaluation and Repair activity in the WAI is a collection point for work in content transformation, and the Protocols and Formats working group is positioned to have up-front influence over the shape of W3C specifications as they are under development. Participate here and you will gain in the form of a more capable and robust base of Web technology.
NCITS/V2 - The National Committee for Information Technology Standards (NCITS) has just launched a Technical Committee V2 - Access Interfaces which is tackling the problem of how to do business with the myriad intelligent devices of the emerging pervasive computing domain from personal and adaptive devices. This is both a friendly amendment with regard to the capabilities of the "universal" remote control, and an opening through which the personal digital assistants of people with disabilities can play in the "everyone, everywhere, connected to everything" game.

Lynda Hopkins is indeed smart and she genuinely seeks out the opinions of Sonoma County residents. She is an organic farmer who believes in urban growth boundaries. She supports the initiative to ban GMO's in Sonoma County. As a long time resident and voter, she has my vote for Supervisor!
Thanks a lot, this really is a truly awsome article! I also can be helpful here :) I've found some decent tutorials on how to fill template form out online here http://pdf.ac/3i1wxe .
My name is joy anna, from United states, i have been a HIV positive is just like been through hell; well special thanks to God almighty for using Dr. Bello, the greatest spell caster in curing my HIV disease. I was diagnosed of this disease in the year 2004. Thou I was taking my medications buy I was not myself. Until last two weeks. My friend came to me and told me that he saw many testimonies on how a spell caster cured people HIV disease. Thou I never believe in spell, I said to myself "seen is believing" I took his name and searched it on GOOGLE, I saw many testimonies myself. Quickly, I copied his email email@example.com, I emailed him, he gave me a form to fill which I did, then he called me and told me that his gods required some items in which he will use in casting a curing spell on me and he told me that it will cost me $200, I sent him the money because I could not find the items. He bought the items and prepared a cure for me, then he have sent a parcel to me through courier delivery service. I paid the courier services, I got my parcel, it was a holy water as described by Dr. Bello. I took the holy water and after taking it. He told me to go for check up, I went to the hospital and to a HIV test, I was tested HIV negative. Quickly I called him and tell him what happened he congratulated me. I promise to tell the world about him. You can contact via email: bellospelltemple or +2348147271779 God bless
So far it seems clear that Lynda Hopkins' campaign has a lot of money to spend. When a candidate has a war chest so large that she can purchase expensive, multi-page newspaper inserts weeks before the campaign, I start to wonder who's paying for it.
She seems like a perfectly fine human being, and may have the best of intentions. However, Ms. Hopkins is relatively new to the area and is already funded by many of the same big businesses that funded Effren Carillo (most notably the Ratto Group). Accepting that funding without knowing that there will be an expectation of payback is either painfully naive or worse, highly calculating and corrupt. Either way, that should give us pause.
Roughly one in four American households conduct financial transactions outside the mainstream banking system. Without a checking account or savings account, they lack access to traditional loans and credit cards, among other things. When these Americans need cash, their financial options are limited. To capitalize on holiday sales before their next paycheck or pay for emergency car repairs, many of these underbanked Americans turn to short-term, or payday loans provided by http://speedyloansearch.com/ .
Thanks for this informative look at how the Republicans, who have vowed to eliminate the CFPB, managed to persuade Democrats to join them in voting for this bill that was so enthusiastically supported by the National Auto Dealers Association but opposed by consumer advocacy groups.
It is doubly distressing that both of our members of Congress from the north bay voted with the Republicans on this very bad bill.
Jared Huffman's response in explaining why he voted with the Republicans to cancel the CFPB's regulatory guidance is particularly disturbing: "I heard from them (the auto dealers in his district) that it could drive up the cost of car loans and make them less accessible to some of those people—I felt like I had to listen to that side of the argument."
There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that making sure that minorities don't pay higher auto loan rates than white people do would drive up the cost of car loans; in fact, that's a nonsensical statement. But it's definitely an NADA talking-point that both Huffman and Mike Thompson seem to have heard loud and clear.
Absolutely fabulous reporting. Nice to hear the proceeds from Graton Casino are being used so ingeniously. Well done.
I love it! Excellent article. I had a good experience filling forms online and happy to share it with you. If you ever need to fill out a form, here is http://pdf.ac/6fhhG9 a really useful tool. Very easy to navigate and use.
What's so ironic is how little these so-called environmentalists know about ecology and ecosystems, that is what's necessary for these ecosystems to function.. Look at Yellowstone for example where elk were having an adverse impact on vegetation and water ways. The elk overgrazed and polluted water ways. When an apex predator, wolves, were re-introduced, the wolves managed the elk by controlling their populations and forcing them to bunch up in herds. Without the pressure of apex predators, elk will have the same if not worse impact upon land than cattle. Why? Because elk are much much more difficult to manage. Due these environmentalist want to also reintroduce other apex predators like wolves to control the elk here?
Once again, the National Park Service is under fire in the Bay Area for issues of mismanagement. There's been a constant drone of criticism from Drake's Bay to West Marin cattle ranching practices to Tule Elk dying of thirst to massive traffic at Muir Woods damaging the environment to curtailing legitimate recreational uses at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, including dog walking, bonfires and sporting events. Has anyone ever given thought that maybe, just maybe, the National Park Service does not have the expertise or leadership in place here? Maybe they are not the right agency, considering their experience and forte is managing remotes wilderness areas? Yes, these are hard, complex issues. Yes, there are competing interests. Of course, it's not easy. Yet this is not a good performance review by any stretch. Can anyone argue it's not time for a total shake-up and revamping of NPS leadership and operations in the Bay Area? Anyone?
Collapsing fisheries. Collapsing oceans. Collapsing forests. And yet still no one mentions geoengineering. Have we lost the ability to trust our own judgement and common sense? For the most part it appears that we have. Look up. The answer(s) are right above us.
I am Goshen Perry by name i want to say a big thanks to the St Anthonio Orphanage home for making my dreams come true. I and my wife have been married for long now, but we are unable to have a child because of some health issues. And we decided to adopt. We have been hearing that the process to adopt a child is a very difficult one so since then going through the process has really been our fear. but we got in contact with someone who adopted from St Anthonio Orphanage she told us that the process in St Anthonio is very easy. so i decided to contact St Anthonio Orphanage, and behold the process was so easy and in just one week i got the child and now i am a happy man because the child is finally with me. So please i want you all to help me say a big thanks to St Anthonio Orphanage for their good heart. In case you want to also adopt a child, and you don't want to go through any stress i recommend you to St Anthonio Orphanage Home. Their email is (email@example.com), and their phone number is +1 (508) 686-7018
There is no "white knight" that will save this nation that is run by The Crown and The Committee of 300 as they reach thier apex. Stop following this distraction as we are being poisoned, literaly and mentaly, from the psycopaths that run our world government. If you live in CA how about looking up from all of the bombardment of media... I mean really.... go outside and look up. In fact I dare you all to watch the cloud "lines" being sprayed accross our sky and just question it.
I am not a person who likes to post anything, but we must all know about this and talk about it; Geoengineeringwatch.org Act now, talk to eachother, before we have nothing left. Even if you are not religious (I am not saying to convert) just go to your local churches to connect with people, we need to unite the people who want to care about our future and our childrens future, for this planet and every thing living on it. Because once you know, you cannot ignore it, and if we do something now, we can save ourselves and eachother before it's too late.
Thank you for your continuing coverage of Sonoma's IHSS workers. For years now your articles have been thorough and accurate, making sense of a very complicated program.
Thanks again,

You got the delegate count wrong
Sorry! I am not a good loser, that's why I don't gamble. Put it this way, I am not going to vote for Sen. Cruz, former Gov. John Kasich who are in the corrupt institution called Congress or the Republican good old boys clique. It's obvious if it comes to a convention, GOP elites are not going to pick Donald Trump. Using Kasich to bring down Trump, at any meeting are risking and it's at there own peril. Nor am I voting for that Criminal Hillary Clinton or a Socialist-Communist Bernie Sanders who along with King Obama has pilfered the depleted federal and state treasuries, in supporting financially millions of illegal aliens. I'll stay to the end until Donald Trump is either crippled or loses the race as nominee for the Presidency, by using any method to block Trump, which means any dirty tricks diversion, any manipulating of the delegates by either Political Party.
If it goes against Donald Trump I am out, my family out, a bunch of old GI's who fought in Viet-Nam are out; a majority of my friends and co-worker thought their vote didn't matter are out and people who have never shadowed the election booth and millions of Trump you can be rest assured supporters will drop out. The effect of riots in the street of civil unrest is will cause what's left of our sovereignty to collapse, Why bother voting when they see the election system is corrupt. All these people are a tiny drop in the ocean, but it's not worth my energy or encouragement to vote for GOP establishment, or an alleged felon who violated our National Security and just like Sanders wants to soak the rich, and then kill more jobs of what is left of them.
I never trusted either party as anybody who goes into today's Washington morass, is corrupted by the lobbyists who appear at their offices offering them blank checks that they can squirrel away as long as they work for them on the floor of the House and Senate. The people who voted for Donald Trump are part of the 'Silent Majority'. The American people are so demoralized by the Left or Right who never pursue what the population want; not the elites or a government that wants controls your life, just as the Kremlin does in Russia even today. Hillary is a clever in her dialogue, ranting on about equality and telling Americans that Conservatives are against every minority and ethnic population. YES! She's good with her automatic commentaries, but she still has the same weak agenda of Obama and his proponents, that will drone on just like the other party.
Any theft in a contested conference will certainly implode inside the Republican Party if they try to isolate the Donald. Why has millions of a silent majority entered the fray, because they want to see the Trump wall go up. Right now the United States are on the edge of economic disaster and the filaments extend outwards that includes the illegal alien invasion, that is depleting large chunks of social services and is effected Citizens and Legal immigrants way of life. More highway congestion, when foreigners are given drivers licenses and much of the facts about the illegal immigrant inversion is muffled by Obama's government and the mainstream press. States like Ohio, Michigan has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs, not only theft by illegal aliens, but by people with profiles chief negotiator Democratic John Kerry who gave away $150 Billion dollars to Iran.
On Obama's orders and GOP Cartel elites who have sold our jobs and businesses to foreign countries, that includes Mexico. Although our deficit with Mexico is $60 B, it does not compare with China' $600 Billion. To me it's no wonder that Detroit, Michigan, or the 'Rust Belt' states as they are called, which was once a hive of the bustling auto and steel industry. Now thousands of empty lots padlocked and still, having moved to Mexico. 9 provinces in the NAFTA treaty are the capitols of General motors, Ford, and Chrysler and a whole range of foreign cars and trucks, now manufactured across the border.
These comments are, in and of themselves, so biased, they prove many of the points made in the article. They're like a spectacular illustration of the entire idea behind Jonah Raskin's thoughts.
In reality, Raskin's write-up on the 5th District Supervisorial Race captures well the political theater that typifies Sonoma County and SoCo as a microcosm of broader American political trends. While some supporters of Noreen Evans, who has served the public as an elected official before and has many supporters, seem to have taken umbrage at this look at regional politics - certainly all of the folks posting here - they miss the underlying point: politics is always the politics of perception and the perception of this race is that it's getting a little dicey - one might say, as Raskin has, gonzo.
The article is less about Evans and contender Lynda Hopkins, who has not served in elected office before and has many supporters, than it is about the inner workings of the sometimes brutal political machine that informs our contemporary politics and the journalists and campaign workers who hear and know the real stories of local and regional campaigns that can often trend harsh behind the scenes - despite the apparent idealism of the candidates.
I agree with Laura Gonzalez. As she said, "This is a sadly disappointing article. I was actually embarrassed for Jonah Rankin while reading this piece." The references to Hunter Thompson made no sense at all, his lack of substance about what each of the candidates stand for, his obvious bias in favor of Lynda Hopkins simply because she is young and inexperience, and his tying Noreen Evans to the "good old boys" when it is Hopkins through the support of Koenigshafer, the big business group Alliance, etc. who is a young,female, inexperienced "good old boy" in the making. Yes, she's the Hillary Clinton in the race. If you really want to protect the Sonoma County we know and love, vote for Noreen Evans.

This is a sadly disappointing article. I was actually embarrassed for Jonah Rankin while reading this piece. He obviously has no clue about local politics. "Can Lynda Hopkins bust up the West County Boys' Club"? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? She's new face of the Boys' Club! Why didn't you take off the rose-colored glasses before interviewing and rallying around Lynda Hopkins? She's a carpetbagger, she's no FDR, and she's bought and paid for by the same people who foisted Efren Carrillo on us. His backers are now her backers. Herman Hernandez Jr, her campaign manager, and his dad, have been staunch Carrillo supporters since the beginning. And her consultant is Rob Muelrath, and you're trying to tell us she's not an insider and she's going to "save the 5th"? From what? A seasoned veteran who has stood with working class people her whole political life? A politician who isn't in the back pocket of Mr. Doug Bosco?
Do you know why Eric Koenigshafer isn't running, even though he said he would if his buddy Efren didn't run? Because the puppetmasters found someone better, and Eric knows it's all about the machine, and not him. That's why he gallantly stepped aside for Hopkins.
Do us all a major favor and stop writing about local politics until you actually know something about local politics. Sheesh.
The title of this article is highly misleading.
"Take Back the Fifth District" from who?
And for what?
From the SAME people who backed Efren Carrillo in his last two election bids?
And to keep the strings of power attached firmly to someone who has never held public office, who has never written a piece of legislation which has actually affected the lives of community members and who has NEVER cast a SINGLE VOTE for or against a resolution, an item or a bill?
As far as I'm concerned, this article is so full of biases, inaccuracies and intentionally misleading meanderings that it has been rendered completely meaningless to anyone who was looking to your publication for an investigative treatise on the two candidates' respective backgrounds, qualifications and abilities to represent and lead the voters of the Fifth District.
Sadly, you fritted away a grand opportunity to do so - and seriously impaled your journalistic integrity in the process.

Cristo Redentor information
Standing atop Corcovado (which means 'hunchback'), Cristo Redentor gazes out over Rio, a placid expression on his well-crafted face. The mountain rises straight up from the city to 710m, and at night the brightly lit 38m-high open-armed statue – all 1145 tons of him – is visible from nearly every part of the city.
Corcovado lies within the Parque Nacional da Tijuca. The most popular way to reach the statue is to take the red narrow-gauge train that departs every 30 minutes, and takes approximately 20 minutes to reach the top. To reach the cog station, take any 'Cosme Velho' bus: you can take bus 583 from Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon.
You can also go by Parque da Tijuca–authorized van to visit the monument. These depart from three locations around town: Copacabana (in front of Praça do Lido from 8am to 4pm; adult/child R$62/40), Largo do Machado (8am to 5pm; adult/child R$62/40) and Paineiras, a few kilometres north of the statue (from 8am to 6pm; adult/child R$35/free).

Languages' resolve translates to success
The moment could have been disheartening if the Milwaukee Languages players let it.
For about 10 straight minutes the Hawks girls basketball team didn't give up a point to Milwaukee Pulaski/Arts, a run that allowed them to turn a three-point deficit at the half into a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. In the span of just four possessions, however, it was completely gone.
But that's when Languages dug in for a strong finish that kept its undefeated season alive.
"Just keep fighting," junior forward Kayla Brewer said she thought to herself. "You can't give up. When you give up, you get a loss."
Languages (11-0, 4-0) scored a 43-36 victory at home Friday night to take sole possession of first place in the City Conference Blue Division, getting double-digit scoring from Brewer (14 points), senior forward Sabrina Mabbett (10) and freshman guard Timeah Stotts (10). It sealed the victory by sinking 4 of 6 free throws in the final 2 minutes.
Pulaski/Arts dropped to 6-4, 3-1 despite a nice floor game from junior point guard Chelsea Rhodes (11 points). The Rams actually rallied twice, overcoming a nine-point deficit in the first quarter to take a 19-16 halftime lead and shaking off a scoreless third quarter to tie the game with 5½ minutes left.
"We talked about it at halftime that the first half was about character for us because we dug ourselves a big hole and we came back," Pulaski/Arts coach Kyle Brokmeier said. "We said the second half was going to be about toughness, and give credit to Languages; they came out and they were aggressive and they were ready to go and they caught us on our heels a little bit."
Mabbett's three-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer gave Languages a 29-19 lead, but after senior guard Ashley Ivey's three snapped Pulaski/Arts out of its cold spell, the team scored on four straight possessions. It tied the game, 30-30, on a three-point play by junior forward Breje Elliot on a play created by Rhodes' behind-the-back pass on the fast break.
The rest of the night belonged to Languages, though.
Stotts completed a three-point play off a drive to the basket on the Hawks' next possession. And after Ivey responded with a jumper to cut that lead to 33-32, Languages gradually pulled away.
Brewer's jumper and another layup by Stotts made it 37-32 with 3 minutes 14 seconds to play. A Brewer free throw and a layup by senior Paige Butler off a Stotts dish made it 40-35 with 1:20 left. Stotts and senior Emily Ogas combined to go 3 for 4 from the line to ice the game.
Victory No. 11 was in the books, a sweet run of success for a team that went 1-11 and finished last in the City's Gold Division last season.
"We're a very balanced team," Languages coach Gary Huven said. "We've got a girl who can penetrate the lane. Kayla is our leader. Sabrina is a shooter from the outside, so we try to get her the ball on the wing off the penetration. Overall we're a balanced team. They're focused and they play hard."
