Yes, I'm gloating.
Yes indeed I'm gloating. You can bet your sweet derriere I'm gloating.
On Wednesday night, March 27, 2013, the Chicago Bulls officially ended the Miami Heat's winning streak at 27 games.
Heat fans hoping that their guys would break the 41-year-old Los Angeles Lakers' record of winning 33 straight games have been brought back to reality.
And we Lakers fans that hope the record set by the 1971-1972 squad will never be broken feel somewhat vindicated.
For me, the feelings of vindication go far beyond my being a Lakers fan. In addition to seeing the Heat lose to the Bulls, it was nice seeing LeBron James eat a little crow.
Let me assure all of you LeBron fans out there that I'm no hater. I'll concede your guy has game, and plenty of it. He'll never replace the likes of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan in my heart, but I can see where LeBron might replace them in yours.
Yes, the Heat did win the 2011-2012 National Basketball Association title, and LeBron was the main reason.
The U.S. Men's Olympic team won gold at last summer's London games. Without LeBron, they'd have been lucky to win a bronze.
So yeah, LeBron's got game. And he just might be every bit as good as he thinks he is.
But his team isn't nearly as good as LeBron thinks it is. In LeBron's world, the 2012-2013 Heat's winning streak was far more impressive than the Lakers' 1971-1972 winning streak, even though the Heat's streak fell six games shy of tying the record.
What was LeBron's reasoning? That the NBA of 1971-1972 wasn't as talented as the NBA of 2012-2013.
"Back then, the leagues were separate," LeBron said in an interview before the Heat lost to the Bulls. "It wasn't a full league at the time. The (American Basketball Association) and the NBA leagues spread apart. So some of the greatest players weren't even in the NBA at the time."
LeBron must have realized that he seriously ticked off some old-school NBA fans, because he felt compelled to add a quick, "But that takes nothing away from what (the Lakers) were able to accomplish."
Actually, it took quite a bit away, LeBron's parsing notwithstanding. What LeBron was saying is that the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers won 33 straight games because the NBA of that era wasn't that good.
With one statement, LeBron proved to me that, his skills aside, that the guy is nothing but a whippersnapper. He's the snappiest whippersnapper that ever snapped a whip.
While I'm impressed that LeBron actually knows something about the history of the NBA and ABA, he could use a refresher course of what kind of players were in the NBA during the 1971-1972 season.
Let's start with the squad that LeBron dissed: the 1971-1972 Lakers. At one guard was Gail Goodrich, a Hall of Famer who was a five-time NBA all star.
The other guard was a guy I'm sure LeBron has heard of. His name is Jerry West, another Hall of Famer and a 14-time all star who was an NBA finals MVP and an all-star game MVP.
The center? That was the late, great Wilton Norman Chamberlain. Remember him, LeBron? He's the guy that scored 100 points in a game, a record that has not and probably will not be broken.
Wilt also holds the record for rebounds in a game (55) and, for his career, averaged 23 rebounds and 30 points per game. And for those LeBron fans (and Michael Jordan fans) that think their guy is the greatest player in pro basketball history, allow me to unburden you of that delusion.
It was Wilt. Or, as all-everything guard Oscar Robertson put it much better when asked if Wilt was the greatest ever, "the books don't lie."
How were the 2012-2013 Heat able to win their 27 straight games? Part of the reason is that they have yet to face a team with the likes of that Goodrich-West-Chamberlain combination.
This year's Heat squad hasn't faced a team with a center like Kareem Abdul Jabbar either. But the 1971-1972 Lakers did. Those Lakers also played teams with guys like Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Oscar Robertson, Wes Unseld, Willis Reed and John Havlicek.
LeBron was dead wrong in his assessment of NBA talent circa 1972. But I'll give the brother props for one thing.
He did provide me with my "Negro, please" moment for the month of March.

Context. The cluster Abell 2163 is a merging system of several subclusters with complex dynamics. It presents exceptional X-rays properties (high temperature and luminosity), suggesting that it is a very massive cluster. Recent 2D analysis of the gas distribution has revealed a complex and multiphase structure. Aims. This paper presents a wide-field weak lensing study of the dark matter distribution in the cluster in order to provide an alternative vision of the merging status of the cluster. The 2D mass distribution was built and compared to the galaxies and gas distributions. Methods. A Bayesian method, implemented in the Im2shape software, was used to fit the shape parameters of the faint background galaxies and to correct for PSF smearing. A careful color selection on the background galaxies was applied to retrieve the weak lensing signal. Shear signal was measured out to more than 2 Mpc (≈ 12′ from the center). The radial shear profile was fit with different parametric mass profiles. The 2D mass map was built from the shear distribution and used to identify the different mass components. Results. The 2D mass map agrees with the galaxy distribution, while the total mass inferred from weak lensing shows a strong discrepancy to the X-ray deduced mass. Regardless of the method used, the virial mass M 200 falls in the range 8 to 14 × 10 14 h 70 -1 M ⊙ inside the virial radius (∼2.0 h 70 -1 Mpc), a value that is two times less than the mass deduced from X-rays. The central mass clump appears bimodal in the dark matter distribution, with a mass ratio ∼3:1 between the two components. The infalling clump A2163-B is detected in weak lensing as an independent entity. All these results are interpreted in the context of a multiple merger seen less than 1 Gyr after the main crossover. © 2012 ESO. Source

The general context of this study is the post-processing of multiline spectropolarimetric observations of stars, and in particular the numerical analysis techniques aiming at detecting and characterizing polarized signatures. Using real observational data, we compare and clarify several points concerning various methods of analysis. We applied and compared the results of simple line addition, least-squares deconvolution, and denoising by principal component analysis to polarized stellar spectra available from the TBLegacy database of the Narval spectropolarimeter. This comparison of various approaches of distinct sophistication levels allows us to make a safe choice for the next implementation of on-line post-processing of our unique database for the stellar physics community. © 2012 ESO.

Precursors and fluid flows in the case of the 1996, ML = 5.2 Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet earthquake (Pyrenees, France): A complete pre-, co- and post-seismic scenario
Rigo A.,Toulouse University Midi-Pyrenees
Tectonophysics | Year: 2010
Earthquake precursors are now regularly described but often detected only after a major or moderate seismic event. Presence and influence of fluids in the seismogenic processes are often observed at the time of earthquake studies. Even today, the understanding of the physical processes involved in the source region is a real challenge for seismic hazard assessment. Here, the aftershock sequence of the ML = 5.2, 1996 Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet (Eastern Pyrenees, France) earthquake is first re-examined with P-wave cross-correlations, resulting in extracting three multiplets and in determining new locations. Multiplets and spatio-temporal distribution analysis of the aftershocks allow for quantifying the hydraulic diffusivity D at a maximum value of 5 m2/s and the permeability K at 10- 15 m2 in the upper Pyrenean crust. Second, a model is established in order to explain the hydrogeochemical transient anomalies, which occurred during the 15 day-period preceding the 1996 earthquake. These anomalies consist on a temporal and spatial sequence of gas emissions in the epicentral area and on chloride and lead concentration variations in a bottled mineral water 25 km north to the main shock epicenter. The proposed model processed in a standard elastic half-space, consists of creep on a low-angle crustal normal-fault, generating volumetric strain field changes over a distance of 25 km from the epicentral area. This model is able to constrain not only the mechanisms and the locations of the geochemical anomalies, but also their timing and probable casual links to the triggering of the impending major event. Also, the active extension proposed here is compatible with seismological observations in the Pyrenees. Thus, the possibility of such creep, which can be considered as a slow-slip event, is discussed in the Pyrenean tectonic and geological context. The model is discussed and compared to previous proposed models on precursor processes of earthquakes, especially concerning the preparation zone concept. Finally, a complete seismic scenario over the period beginning 15 days before the quake and ending 5 days after is proposed and discussed. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Source

IMPORTANCE Tramadol is a weak opioid analgesic whose use has increased rapidly, and it has been associated with adverse events of hypoglycemia. OBJECTIVE To assess whether tramadol use, when compared with codeine use, is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for hypoglycemia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A nested case-control analysiswas conducted within the United Kingdom Clinical Practice Research Datalink linked to the Hospital Episodes Statistics database of all patients newly treated with tramadol or codeine for noncancer pain between 1998 and 2012. Cohort and case-crossover analyses were also conducted to assess consistency of the results. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Cases of hospitalization for hypoglycemiawere matched with up to 10 controls on age, sex, and duration of follow-up. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated comparing use of tramadol with codeine. A cohort analysis, with high-dimensional propensity score-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95%CIs, was performed comparing tramadol with codeine in the first 30 days after treatment initiation. Finally, a case-crossover analysis was also performed, in which exposure to tramadol in a 30-day risk period immediately before the hospitalization for hypoglycemia was compared with 11 consecutive 30-day control periods. Odds ratios and 95%CIs were estimated using conditional logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The cohort included 334 034 patients, of whom 1105 were hospitalized for hypoglycemia during follow-up (incidence, 0.7 per 1000 per year) and matched to 11 019 controls. Compared with codeine, tramadol use was associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for hypoglycemia (OR, 1.52 [95%CI, 1.09-2.10]), particularly elevated in the first 30 days of use (OR, 2.61 [95%CI, 1.61-4.23]). This 30-day increased risk was confirmed in the cohort (HR, 3.60 [95%CI, 1.56-8.34]) and case-crossover analyses (OR, 3.80 [95%CI, 2.64-5.47]). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The initiation of tramadol therapy is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia requiring hospitalization. Additional studies are needed to confirm this rare but potentially fatal adverse event.. Copyright © 2015 American Medical Association. All rights reserved. Source

The mean absolute geostrophic circulation of the Coral Sea is constructed from climatological hydrographic data referenced to a 1000 m velocity field derived from Argo float drift. Two branches of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) enter the Coral Sea between New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands: the broad, upper thermocline North Vanuatu Jet (NVJ), and the narrow North Caledonian Jet (NCJ) extending to at least 1500 m. Most of this incoming flow leaves to the Solomon Sea. Four distinct pathways through the Coral Sea are traced by their water properties: (1) The NCJ crosses the Sea to the coast of Australia and turns north at densities sigma 25-27.4 as the main source of the Gulf of Papua (GPC) western boundary current, eventually feeding the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent; (2) part of the shallow NVJ turns into the Solomon Sea in midbasin, carrying high-salinity water above sigma 25.5; (3) another part of the NVJ continues to Australia, then turns north to join the GPC, extending it to the surface; (4) a shallow finger of NVJ water, traced by low oxygen above sigma 25, turns south along the coast, beginning the East Australian Current (EAC) at 15°S. Total transport from the Coral to the Tasman Sea is small and shallow; instead, most of the EAC is fed from south of New Caledonia, consistent with the Island Rule. However, large transport fractions occur in narrow jets close to coastlines and reefs and are not well sampled, precluding a quantitative estimate of meridional redistribution of the incoming SEC. Key Points Argo float drift references Coral Sea climatological geostrophic currents Interior and boundary current transports largely explained by the Island Rule Three distinct pathways carry the SEC through the Coral Sea to the equator © 2013 The Authors.

The present invention relates to an overheat preventing system for reducing the r.p.m. of an internal combustion engine from an overheated state thereby to prevent the engine from being damaged.
If an internal combustion engine is run at an overheated state, problems such as piston seizure may take place and damage the engine. Especially in an engine continuously running at a constant speed, such as a boat engine, the driver may sometimes fail to instantly take the proper measures for that trouble during high speed running operation. With this in mind, the concept of reducing the r.p.m. by interrupting the ignition spark of one or more of the engine cylinders when it is detected that the engine is overheated has been proposed by the same Applicant (e.g., Japanese Patent Application No. 55-83732). In this proposal, however, the r.p.m. may be abruptly reduced in accordance with the kind of engine; such as an engine having fewer cylinders thereby causing shocks in the navigation of the boat.
The present invention has been conceived in view of the background thus far described and has as an object the provision of an overheat preventing system for an internal combustion engine, which is able to detect overheating of an engine and smoothly reduce the r.p.m. of the engine so that damage to the engine may be prevented due to the overheating, and deceleration will be less of a shock.
In order to achieve the above-specified object, the present invention is constructed to include a temperature detector for detecting overheating of a spark ignition type internal combustion engine, and an oscillation circuit for oscillating in accordance with the output of said temperature detector so that said internal combustion engine is decelerated from its overheated state by having its ignition intermittently stopped in accordance with the output of said oscillation circuit. The present invention will be described in greater detail in the following description considered in connection with the embodiment thereof shown by reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing the construction of the one embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the operations of the device same of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing the construction of one embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the same. Reference numeral 10 appearing in FIG. 1 indicates a magneto which is equipped with a charging coil 12 and a pulser coil 14. Pulser coil 14 operates to generate a pulser signal P at a predetermined angular position of the crankshaft of the engine. Numeral 16 indicates a well-known capacitive discharge type ignition circuit which is composed of: a series diode 18 allowing the positive half wave of an a.c. output generated by charging coil 12 to pass therethrough; a series capacitor 20 charged to a shown polarity by the current passing through diode 18; a thyristor 22 for discharging the charge stored in capacitor 20 through primary coil 28 of a later-described ignition coil 26; a CR (capacitor-resistor) differentiation circuit 24 and a diode 25 connected to the gate of thyristor 22. Numeral 26 indicates the ignition coil having one side of primary coil 28 and a secondary coil 30 connected to the aforementioned capacitor 20. The other terminal of the primary coil 28 is connected to earth grounded. Moreover, the other terminal of secondary coil 30 is connected to ground through ignition plug 32.
When the a.c. voltage generated by charging coil 12 is the negative half of wave, the electric current is fed to coil 12 by diode 34. For the positive half of the wave in contrast, the current fed from coil 12 passes through diode 18 to charge capacitor 20 at the shown polarity. The pulser signal P from the aforementioned pulser coil 14 is differentiated by CR differentiation circuit 24 to ignite thyristor 22. In other words, thyristor 22 is closed by the rise of the waveform of pulser signal P. As a result, charges on capacitor 20 are released through thyristor 22 and primary coil 28 so that a high voltage is induced in secondary coil 30 by the change in magnetic flux in ignition coil 26 at that time. By the voltage induced at the secondary coil 30, the ignition plug 32 generates an ignition spark. Capacitor 20 is charged to a polarity opposite to that of FIG. 1 when it is discharging through thyristor 22 and primary coil 28. However, this opposite charge will be released through parallel diode 36.
Reference numeral 38 indicates a stop switch which has one terminal connected between the aforementioned series diode 18 and capacitor 20 and its other terminal connected to ground. Stop switch 38 as connected is usually open but is closed when the engine is to be stopped. More specifically by closing stop switch 38, the charging operation of capacitor 20 is interrupted, whereupon the ignition plug 32 generates no spark and the engine is stopped.
The overheat preventing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the following. Reference numeral 40 indicates a waveform shaping circuit for converting the aforementioned pulser signal P into pulses having a square wave shape. Numeral 42 indicates a frequency-voltage converting circuit (hereinafter referred to as an "F/V converting circuit") for converting the output pulse frequency of waveform shaping circuit 40 into a voltage. Therefore, F/V converting circuit 42 generates a velocity voltage Vn' (i.e., a voltage indicating a velocity which is increased or decreased in accordance with the increase or decrease of engine r.p.m.). Numerals 44, 45, 46 and 48 indicate a thyristor, a grounding resistor connected to thyristor 44, a light emitting diode, and a temperature detector, respectively. Temperature detector 48 is constructed of, for example, a switch having bimetal contacts and is attached in the vicinity of a hot portion of the engine. Moreover, temperature detector 48 thus constructed will be closed when the engine overheats. With the cathode of the aforementioned thyristor 44, are connected in series with resistor 49, a light emitting diode 46 and a temperature detector 48 having its other terminal connected to ground. Thyristor 44 and light emitting diode 46 are connected so that their polarity allows electric current on the positive half wave of the output from charging coil 12 to pass therethrough. Numerals 50 and 52 indicate an audible warning buzzer and a battery, respectively, in a series connected circuit which is connected in parallel with the aforementioned temperature detector 48.
Reference numeral 54 indicates a delay circuit having an input terminal connected through diode 56 to the nongrounded of the aforementioned temperature detector 48. Delay circuit 54 has an integrating capacitor, for example, so that its output voltage Vr becomes a predetermined integrated voltage during normal operation of the engine which is gradually lowered (i.e. decays) by discharges the integrating capacitor when the temperature detector 48 closes due to overheating of the engine.
Reference numeral 58 indicates an oscillation circuit activated to its oscillations when the temperature detector 48 closes. Oscillation circuit 58 generates an oscillatory output Va which has its duty ratio DR (i.e. duty cycle) varied in accordance with the difference (Vn -Vr) between the velocity voltage Vn from the output of F/V converting circuit 42 and the output voltage Vr of delay circuit 54. As illustrated in FIG. 2, specifically, the oscillatory output Va has a small duty ratio of DR=T1 /T1 +T2 when the difference (Vn -Vr) is large immediately after time to when the temperature detector 48 closes. The duty ratio DR increases gradually in accordance with a reduction in the difference (Vn -Vr) as time subsequently elapses. The oscillation period T=T1 +T2 of oscillation circuit 58 is set to be of sufficient length to be longer than the time period required for one revolution of the engine. In other words, the engine revolves a plurality of times during time period T. Numeral 60 indicates a gate circuit which when energized generates a gate signal G synchronized with the revolutions of the engine during the time period T1 when the output Va of the aforementioned oscillation circuit 58 is at a high level. In other words, that gate signal G generated closes the thyristor 44 when the output voltage of the aforementioned charging coil 12 has a predetermined positive level. During the time period T1, consequently, the current resulting during the positive half wave of the charging coil 12 is discharged through thyristor 44, light emitting diode 46 and temperature detector 48 to ground so that no spark is generated at ignition plug 32.
The operation of the embodiment thus constructed will be described in the following. When the engine is run at full load but without being overheated, temperature detector 48 remains so that oscillation circuit 58 does not oscillate. As a result, gate circuit 60 does not generate a gate signal G. Thus, capacitor 20 is charged by the positive half wave of charging coil 12 so that an ignition spark is normally generated at ignition plug 32 whereby the engine continues its normal revolutions.
When the engine becomes overheated, temperature detector 48 closes so that the oscillation circuit 58 is activated and starts oscillating. Since the aforementioned difference (Vn -Vr) is large immediately after time t0, when temperature detector 48 first detects that overheating, the duty ratio DR of oscillatory output Va is low. As a result, both the time period for which gate circuit 60 generates a gate signal G and the time period for which ignition plug 32 continues to misfire are short within the oscillation period T. For each oscillation period, ignition plug 32 intermittently repeats its misfire so that the engine r.p.m. gradually decreases. That difference (Vn -Vr) gradually decreases in accordance with the reduction in the engine r.p.m. so that the misfire period of ignition plug 32 is lengthened by the increase in the duty ratio DR. As a result, the engine is smoothly decelerated. That difference is expressed by Vn -Vr =Vn after the time t1 when the output voltage Vr of delay circuit 54 is reduced to zero. If the throttle is maintained at its full open position, the duty ratio DR will be held constant so that the engine continues its revolutions at a low speed. If the temperature detector 48 is closed, buzzer 50 also generates a warning sound while light emitting diode 46 flashes in accordance with the conduction and nonconduction of thyristor 44.
In the embodiment thus far described, F/V converting circuit 42 is used so that the duty ratio DR of the oscillation circuit 58 may be changed by the velocity voltage Vn from the output of F/V converter 42 to decelerate the engine remarkably smoothly. Further, the present invention can attain the desired effects if the period and the time period for the intermittent misfire are properly set. In the embodiment described, moreover, delay circuit 54 is provided to change the duty ratio DR of oscillation circuit 58 in accordance with the difference (Vn -Vr) so that the engine is decelerated more smoothly. In the embodiment, still moreover, the output of the charging coil 12 is grounded, when the engine overheats, through thyristor 44, light emitting diode 46 and temperature detector 48. For example, the anode of thyristor 44 may be connected with the charging terminal of capacitor 20, as indicated in phantom line to switch 38 in FIG. 1, so that the charge on capacitor 20 may be released through thyristor 44, and so on. On the other hand, thyristor 22 may be prevented from sparking to effect the misfire by connecting the anode of thyristor 44 and the input terminal waveform shaping circuit 40 with pulser coil 14 and charging coil 12, respectively, so that the pulse signal P may also be released through thyristor 44 and resistor 45 when in the sparking operation of thyristor 44. It is also apparent that either buzzer 50 and/or light emitting diode 46 for warning of overheating may be omitted if desired. If buzzer 50 and battery 52 are omitted, more specifically, only light emitting diode 46 flashes to provide a warning when the overheating takes place. If the series circuit of resistor 49 and light emitting diode 46 is omitted, on the other hand, only buzzer 50 will operate.
As has been described hereinbefore, the present invention is constructed such that the oscillation circuit is made to oscillate in accordance with the output of the temperature detector when the engine is overheated so that a misfire is caused during a predetermined time period within the period of the oscillation circuit. As a result, during the deceleration of the engine, the misfire is intermittently effected so that the engine can be smoothly decelerated. Thus, shocks during the deceleration can be lightened.
This invention is not to be limited by the embodiment shown in the drawings and described in the description, which is given by way of example and not of limitation, but only in accordance with the scope of the appended claims.

Beautiful apartment.
Lovely apartment, very well equipped & clean. Ideally located within easy walking distance of the village restaurants & beach. I spent a month at the apartment & found it to be extremely comfortable, with very friendly, helpful neighbours.
Good location and nice apartment.
Thank you, Catherine
Peaceful holiday in Mandria
Lovely clean apartment with everything as listed. Complex area well maintained, so was the pool. Very good communication with the owner.
We had a very relaxing holiday. We didn't hire a car, just went everywhere on foot.
Beach, village with mini market and shops only a short walk, larger supermarket also in walking distance.
Area is quiet and mostly agricultural. We had lovely views from the balcony over the farmer's fields with a glimpse of the sea beyond.
We will certainly be recommending this apartment to our friends and family and hope to return there again ourselves soon.
Great place to visit
All listed on the website equipment was available.The property was very clean and well-maintained. There was an excellent e-mail contact with the owner. Morover, there were few people by the pool so it wasn't crowded. Deserted, but pebbled beach was in distance of 1,5 km. There were 600 meters to the center of the village, where the bus stop and some restaurats were located. We really enjoyed our stay and truly recommend renting this apartment.
Thank You, Catherine

"No government of the left has done as much for the poor as capitalism has. Even when it comes to the redistribution of income, the left talks the talk but the free market walks the walk. What do the poor most need? They need to stop being poor. And how can that be done, on a mass scale, except by an economy that creates vastly more wealth? Yet the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it." ~ Thomas Sowell
15 Reasons Why The U.S. Economic Crisis Is Really An Economic Consolidation By The Elite Banking Powers
Submitted by Sharon Secor on Thu, 2012-03-15 02:00
"The U.S. government is making sure that the big banks are getting all the cash they need to make sure that they don't fail during these rocky economic times, but the U.S. government is letting small banks fail in droves. In fact, in many instances the U.S. government is actually directing these small banks to sell themselves to the big sharks."

Very good! I topped it with cream cheese icing, my whole family loved it!
When I started the recipe I thought I should make the cake mix as directed on the box but the directions did not say to so I followed the directions and it turned out great. I topped it with whipped cream and its a keeper.
Wasn't sure how this would turn out and was surprised how good it was. Watch baking, even though it looks done still check with cake tester. Great with a spoon of cool whip on top of each slice.

|Department of Correctional Services and UNISA Criminology Honours student volunteers in a correctional environment
|Persistent Link
Working within a correctional environment requires a special understanding of the core issues that drive the functioning of the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). Assistance to the DCS, whether as a professional, a non-governmental entity, or as a student, is rendered from various fields, disciplines and perspectives. These welcomed efforts enhance the DCS's service delivery and the rehabilitation of offenders. Severe scepticism exists regarding the DCS's functioning, core responsibility and integrity in terms of staff capacity, morale and values. This doubt is often reflected in the magnitude of media reports pertaining to corruption, the effectiveness of rehabilitation, smuggling of contraband commodities and safety and security of inmates and personnel. Adjacent to this is the perturbing staff shortages within the DCS. The rehabilitation of offenders and the DCS staff shortages are a linked phenomena. With this reciprocal relationship, the one affects the other. An optimistic point here is the Unisa Criminology Honours volunteer students' assistance to DCS's staff capacity that provides valuable support to the rehabilitation efforts of offenders. Student volunteers are trained to complete DCS's offender assessment instruments in order to 'assess' offenders' needs and risks. From these assessments unique sentence plans are drawn up for each offender which becomes his or her rehabilitation path while housed at the DCS. This article outlines the origin, background, focus and realities of this exclusive DCS-Unisa student volunteer project. The content of this article draws on the students' initial expectations, personal experiences and value and benefits of being involved in this experiential project.

Democratic standards worsening, says UN
Latest index points to rise in violence year on year
December 13, 2012
The United Nations Development Program said yesterday that civil liberties and political rights were diminishing in Indonesia resulting in an overall decline in the country's democratic standards.
In its index for 2010, the most recent year for which figures are available, the UNDP gave Indonesia 63.17 points for democracy, lower than the 67.30 score given in 2009, with violence repeatedly cited as a cause for concern.
"We recorded that on almost every day throughout the year [2010] there were protests ending in violence in each province," Maswadi Rauf, one of the index's authors, said at a press briefing in Jakarta yesterday. "This is not democracy."
UNDP Country Director Beate Trankmann suggested that Indonesia should improve political rights and respect people's right to get involved in peaceful protests.
"Also, further steps are needed to maintain freedom of speech, especially during general elections, and to uphold religious freedom," she said.
Indonesia saw a slight improvement in democratic institutions in 2010 in what was otherwise a year of diminishing freedoms in Indonesia.
In response, Minister of Home Affairs Gamawan Fauzi accepted that democratic principles had been upheld.
"A number of fights between different communities, which were intentionally or unintentionally related to religious and ethnic issues, can be said to be indicators of an ailing democracy," he said.

Eugene Hütz and his collective of Gypsy punks visit Terminal 5 yet again, with fellow travelers-in-mania Man Man. Gogol Bordello released its sixth studio album, Pura Vida Conspiracy, in 2013, and nearly 15 years of playing together has tightened the outfit's melting-pot output of polka/hardcore/so much more. If nothing less than zany debauchery will do this evening, then you've probably already got tickets.

Recently, TelComm Credit Union (Springfield) was mentioned in DepositAccounts.com's "Top 200 Healthiest Credit Unions" list.
DepositAccounts.com used its own proprietary formula to assess the financial health of all federally insured banks and credit unions in the US. Some of the key components of the formula included:
What's a fun way to get the word out that the branch is handy and generate more foot traffic? TelComm Credit Union (Springfield) has figured out a way...
2015 is a big year for credit union anniversaries in Missouri! Six of our credit unions will celebrate 75 years in business; here's the story of two of them.
Credit unions around the state helped make the holidays brighter for various organizations.
TelComm Credit Union (Springfield) provides many services to its community—even helpful safety tips for children. Over the past two years, the credit union has teamed with Safe Kids Springfield to create short, simple public service announcements (PSA) that include advice for parents. Safe Kids Springfield is a member of Safe Kids USA, a nationwide network of organizations working to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability for children ages 1 to 14.
TelComm Credit Union (Springfield) helped collect items for Crosslines, a Council of the Churches of the Ozarks program, to make this holiday season a bit brighter for area children in need.
TelComm began accepting items just before Thanksgiving and ended on Saturday, December 14, at noon. Donations were accepted at all six credit union branches.

A display of dildos greets Rachel Carter each morning at work. Titillating for most people, but for an intern at the Museum of Erotic Esoterica in New York City, it's just another day at the office. But one morning, Rachel's duty of documenting and preserving erotic artifacts is interrupted by the arrival of a package. What lies inside will ignite the sexual adventure of a lifetime. So what's in the box? That's up to you, the listener. In this second volume of the Entwined series, Revealed, Rachel opens the lid to find one of four erotic artifacts, each with the power to propel her into a wildly different adventure. Will it be paranormal fantasy, same-sex BSDM, multiple partners, or an erotically charged romantic interlude?

"Narrator being over dramatic is an understatement!"
Reading the book MIGHT have helped
It was an original concept having 4 stories in one, but even within each story is was repetitive
Nothing! I barely got through the second story. Her 'men' voices sound more like Gargamel from the Smurfs. Not exactly what you want to hear in an erotic story. Also she moans and caterwauls something awful. Definitely a turnoff!
The middle two stories were poorly written. The first and fourth were somewhat better but not much.
If I wasn't so bored on a 7 hour drive I would not have finished the book and deleted it. I kept thinking it might get better, but it never did.
"Fun and sexy!"
I loved different take the authors had on the story!
The narrator did a wonderful job at putting some emotion behind the stories. I enjoyed her use of different character voices.
"Loved it! Vigorous sex scenes and fun characters"
Yes. I have already recommended this book to several friends and they have enjoyed it as well. It's a magical, out of this world, sexual adventure.
Rachel Carter has so much fun in every story. Men, women, aliens, she doesn't care. She's just out for a good time and boy does she have lots of them!
She gives life to the characters by giving them each their own unique sound to match their personalities. You can tell she really loves her work.
Yes, if I had the time.
I enjoyed the versatility of the voices and characters. The stories were all fun and very arousing. Good job to the authors and the narrator.

Fresh, Candid, Real Love
Any wedding that features a Scotch tasting, AC/DC t-shirts, musical surprises, and a Vera Wang gown is destined to be one for the ages.
My absolute favourite thing to do for an engagement session is incorporate the couple's life together into the imagery.
Bianca and Michael, thank you for letting me into your world for a day.
Allison and Mike's love for life and love for each other filled my heart.
The whole day sparkled, including the end.
Having these photos provide a little time capsule of Katie and Spencer's life together at this specific moment in time.
There are some days that are just so perfect, my heart sings. Nadine and Adam's wedding was one of them.
The whole day was truly special. Amazing locations, loving family and friends, gorgeous details, and an absolutely beautiful couple. Epic, indeed.
Winter weddings are becoming more and more popular! So much inspiration from this bride and groom.
When looking to start a wedding or portrait photography business, expect the unexpected. And expect to pay for it.
Less is more. Gone are the days where you retouched a bride to look like a storefront mannequin, and over-applied effects to the point that it looked like the wedding was Avatar themed.
Since Toronto is apparently the new Vancouver, snow has been hard to come by this winter. But that didn't stop Amanda and Tony from doing a really well styled, winter engagement shoot.
We went from attempting to find who we were by trying on many different identities, not realizing that it was our crazy mix of everything that had always defined us.
Love knows no boundaries, no distances, and no age. This is a backyard wedding at its finest.
I'm not sure the couple could be much better suited for one another, or much more adorable than they already are.
As far as fall engagement photos go, there's really no better place in the city of Toronto than high park.
Do I ever love a September wedding, and this one was particularily special.
Never was there a wedding day filled with so much love, class, and pure joy!
Of course we were hoping to get the cover, and were delighted when we saw the unveiling! Keep your eyes peeled at Chapters/Indigo
One of the best parts about being a wedding photographer in the Greater Toronto Area is that you get to experience so many different wedding cultures and traditions.
Toronto is full of hidden gems, and the Scarborough Bluffs area is one of them.
Montreal born Toronto transplants Travis and Tanya headed down to the Grand Palladium resort in Jamaica with a few dozen of their closest family and friends to tie the knot on May 23 2015.
The sun was shining, REALLY shining, and I had to be smart about not letting the light get too harsh.
Travel brings so much to one's life. It expands your horizons, introduces you to new people and cultures, and opens your mind.
The location already has a glamourous and romantic feeling to it, so when you add Christmas, it's the perfect place for a holiday engagement session.
The Eglinton Grand was the perfect venue for this romantic, old Hollywood style wedding.
Keeping in theme with their rustic wedding next September, we drove down the QEW to Albion Falls in Hamilton for their engagement session.
Michelle and Nick couldn't have picked a better time, but things got a little dicey as we woke up to quite a rainy Saturday.
Together we decided to go out to Ward's Island on the Toronto Islands where we could have a variety of scenes. The beach, the woods (somebody's random clothes line) and the cityscape all played huge parts in this shoot.

The Adoption and Safe Families Act was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 19 1997, the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997 (Public Law 105-89) was enacted by Congress in an attempt to correct problems that were inherent in the foster care system that deterred the adoption of children with special needs. Many of these problems had stemmed from an earlier bill, the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980, although they had not been anticipated when the law was passed. The biggest change to the law was how ASFA Amended Title IV-E of the Social Security Act regarding funding.

Albrecht Mayer
Albrecht Mayer is a German classical oboist. His playing is characterised by a particularly warm sound, vocalistic phrasing and a compelling diversity.
- Albrecht Mayer's musical training started with singing, so by the time he began to play the oboe, aged ten, he had already been a member of the Bamberger Domchor boys' choir for several years.
- He began his career in 1990 as solo oboist with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Two years later he received an offer from the Berlin Philharmonic and ever since, Albrecht Mayer has worked internationally as a soloist, playing with such masters as Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Iván Fischer and John Eliot Gardiner.
- In addition to his solo appearances, Mayer is committed to making time for his love of chamber music. In collaboration with violinist Nigel Kennedy, Mayer made several successful recordings that remained at the top of the classical music charts for months.
- Mayer is particularly fascinated by the idea of transcribing vocal works or pieces for other instruments to lend them the voice of the oboe.
- Albrecht Mayer's CD Auf Mozarts Spuren with oboe concertos by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig August Lebrun, recorded with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra under the baton of Claudio Abbado was released in August 2004.
- His credo is: "I would like to inspire people to be enthusiastic about music".
Did you know?
Albrecht Mayer's Handel transcriptions even leapt to the German pop charts on their release!

CHARLIE CHONG THAO, PETITIONER,v.WARDEN SWARTHOUTH, RESPONDENT.
Petitioner is a prisoner proceeding without counsel seeking a writ of habeas corpus. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
On January 5, 2010, the court found that petitioner had failed to pay the filing fee required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or a request to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Petitioner was granted thirty days in which to pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis and was warned that failure to comply would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed.
The 30-day period expired without petitioner submitting the filing fee, a completed in forma pauperis application, or any other response to the court's order. Accordingly, the undersigned recommended on March 18, 2010 that the action be dismissed without prejudice.
However, on April 14, 2010, petitioner submitted a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The court therefore vacates the Order and Findings and Recommendations dated March 18, 2010. The court will rule on plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis and screen the case pursuant to Rule 4 of the Rules Governing § 2254 cases in due course.
So ordered.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Research Paper:
The definition of deviancy, its origin, as well as its negative connotations, seems to shifts from behavior to behavior.
Deviance at times seems benign and morally neutral and simply to challenge normative categories of identity, in the case of homosexuals, atheists, and women who are single and/or working. All of these categories have existed as Foucaultian character 'types' in the form of modern media stereotypes, as portrayed as the media, even though they could also be easily classified as acts or as belief systems. A woman's desire to work is technically an 'act' but cultural stereotypes attach assumptions to this decision -- such as the idea that a woman who works is callous and uncaring about her children. A homosexual is technically someone who engages in same-sex sexual activity but has been characterized as effeminate, overly sexual, predatory, or 'less than a man' although the only real deviant, contingent characteristics of a homosexual is same-sex desire.
But in other cases, deviancy may potentially threaten the social order, such as safety, in the case of individuals who kill or steal. While certain environmental characteristics may explain such behavior, it is more difficult for society to engage in relativistic analysis about these actions and still remain functional. But even in these cases, it is important to reflect that there is a subjective, constructed aspect to such 'deviance.' In the American south during the Jim Crow era, men who lynched African-Americans were not considered deviant, although today we would consider them murderers. The Victorians attempted to create constructs of individuals with particular physiology, behaviors, and characteristics who were intrinsically murderous, or a murderous 'type,' in the way that individuals who were gay were said to be a certain 'type.' While it is arguably harder to view how society could function without a stringent definition of what constitutes murder, even the definition of a murderer is far more fluid than one might initially suspect.
Taking a positivist approach to deviance, whereby the 'act' is seen as inherently bad and worthy of punishment in a trans-cultural fashion is problematic. In the case of homosexuality, which today is said by most gay people to be mainly biologically rather than culturally or psychologically constructed, the cause is uncertain and cannot be easily 'dealt' with (Goode 2008). And although some individuals are threatened by the presence of homosexual acts, there is no clear reason why this 'deviance' should be eliminated at all. Also, even if the expression of sexuality is socially constructed, the specific types of desires and choices manifested by individuals are so complex in their origin, it is impossible to imagine eliminating a form of sexual expression and identity in a positivist fashion.
The failure of positivism
Even more obviously asocial actions, such as violence, are embedded in a web of biology and social license that the positivist is hard-pressed to explain. For the positivist, social control is a rational process, but deviant behavior is not consciously chosen: "Two actions that are superficially and mechanically similar may mean very different things to the participants as opposed to the individuals who react to the participants and what they are doing. i.e. homosexuality. So, what something is, is entirely dependent on how it is interpreted by the relevant audience, including the actor" (Goode 2008). A 'normal' person who grows up in a world where violence is normal may act violently. Soldiers in wartime are encouraged to defend their country, even when their actions in other contexts would be profoundly damaging to society. One cannot distill the action from the context and say it is deviant.
Constructivists would also point out, contrary to the positivist position, that even within the same society the definitions of deviance are in flux depending on where the behavior is manifest. This is also true for sexual behaviors: amongst artists, homosexuality is often tolerated, even by the mainstream public, as can be seen in the public embrace of gay actors, talk show hosts, and musicians. However, the tolerance of a gay politician or even a teacher at an elementary school might be less all-encompassing. Tolerance of deviance can thus vary amongst subcultures as well. And higher social status, higher levels of wealth, and esteem can all cause what might be considered 'deviant' in one person to be seen as merely eccentric in another.
When a particular group is arbitrarily defined as deviant, this can have negative consequences for society as well as the individual. Homosexuality, when treated as deviant can create a 'class' of individuals who are estranged from society. Socially estranged classes of individuals are often more likely to engage in other kinds of deviant behavior. This is the "distinction between primary deviance, the initial rule-breaking act, and secondary deviance, the labeled person's response of defense, attack or adaptation to the problems caused by the social reactions to their initial deviance" (Secondary deviance, 2010, Sociology index). Another good example of this might be individuals who are defined and treated as deviant because of their ethnicity, race, or religion. One reason some groups might have a higher rate of criminality than other groups is due to labeling theory -- when the primary 'deviance' is inscribed upon them based upon arbitrary factors such as their appearance, their subsequent alienation yields them to embrace secondary forms of deviancy, such as a criminal identity. "When this does happen and a person is engaging in secondary deviance, it can be said that they are following a deviant (or moral) career - a set of roles and expectations shaped largely by the reactions of others" (Secondary deviance, 2010, Sociology index). The label of deviance thus creates additional behaviors and makes multiple layers of deviance part of the individual's identity. While it is difficult to imagine a functional society where no 'deviance' at all is conceptualized, the relativistic nature of most categories of deviance is a reminder of the need for tolerance and compassion when dealing with categories of difference that do not have a negative impact upon others.

Some examples of deviance that might be used to describe this type of challenge to the social order would be events like the Boston Tea Party, or the multitude of Vietnam War protests, one resulted in the development of the independence of the U.S. And the other ended compulsory military service in the U.S. (O'Neill, 1986, p. 350) Social control is defined as the ways in which our companions in
DEVIANCE Historical Records Deviance is the violation of social norms. Norms are codes of ethics that act as guidance to people on how to live their lives. According to William Somner, there are three types of norms; Folkways are what a society considers being right with regard to culture and tradition. Issues like dressing, mannerisms are in this category. Different cultures and people have their own guidelines on dressing and etiquette. Violations
Abortion is the process determining the fate of a mother and a child who is not only unwanted but also is deprived of the opportunity to view the way the world is. All issues revolving around abortion have a strong connection with ethics, the "rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession" (Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary) or ethics are also defined as "a
Gay Serial Killers Serial killers continue to hold a fascination on the American public. The crimes of this subset of murderers are frequently sexualized in nature, which perhaps adds to the titillation in media coverage. It is worth observing that many of the most widely-publicized serial murder cases of the past fifty years or so have involved gay or lesbian serial killers: Jeffrey Dahmer remains a household name even in 2014,
Are television networks giving fair representation to gay marriage and gay rights? A scholarly, empirically researched article in the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media points out that while network television stories do discuss the issue of homosexuality and gay marriage, gays and lesbians are "…rarely given the opportunity to offer their own perspectives" (Moscowitz, 2010, p. 36). The research in this article involved using 93 stories taped from network TV
Homosexuality, Parenthood, And Social Deviance The article "Lesbian and gay parenting: babes in arms or babes in the woods?" (Mccann, & Delmonte, 2005) examines the nature of parenting in connection with openly homosexual couples and the manner in which the sexual preference of parents affects their children. According to the authors, most of the objections to parenting by gay couples are entirely unfounded. Specifically, males within same-sex couples are actually more
Furthermore, the label of deviance does not encourage society to question its supposed normalcy, although not so long ago, homosexuality or using birth control was labeled a criminal, deviant act. Finally, not all criminal acts are deviant per se, as speeding or drinking before the age of 21 and other actions that are technically violations of the law are often tolerated by the majority rather than the minority of
