Federal Retirement Processing: Applying Information Technology Acquisition Best Practices Could Help OPM Overcome a Long History of Unsuccessful Modernization Efforts
GAO-15-277T: Published: Dec 10, 2014. Publicly Released: Dec 10, 2014.
In a series of reviews, GAO found that the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) efforts over two decades to modernize its processing of federal employee retirement applications were fraught with information technology (IT) management weaknesses.

About 14 percent of small employers sponsor some type of plan for their employees to save for retirement and these employers in general can face numerous challenges establishing and maintaining a plan. GAO's March 2012 report found that many of the small employers who were contacted said they felt overwhelmed by the number of plan options, plan administration requirements, and fiduciary responsibi...
Federal Retirement Processing: OPM Is Pursuing Incremental Information Technology Improvements after Canceling a Modernization Plagued by Management Weaknesses
GAO-13-580T: Published: May 9, 2013. Publicly Released: May 9, 2013.
In a series of reviews, GAO found that the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) retirement modernization efforts were hindered by weaknesses in key management practices that are essential to successful information technology (IT) modernization projects. For example, in 2005, GAO made recommendations to address weaknesses in the following areas:Project management: While OPM had defined major comp...
Reemployment of Retirees: Six Agencies' Use of Dual Compensation Waiver Authority is Limited
GAO-12-855R: Published: Sep 10, 2012. Publicly Released: Sep 10, 2012.
In summary, the six agencies we reviewed made very little use of the NDAA waiver authority in fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The Department of Treasury made the most, although still very little, use of the waiver authority in both fiscal years--167 waivers in fiscal year 2010 and 214 waivers in fiscal year 2011. Agency officials told us that their agencies used a combination of NDAA and other waiver...

This testimony discusses issues related to possible changes to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program, a topic that we have reported on in the past.

GAO-09-529: Published: Apr 21, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 21, 2009.
For the past two decades, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has been working to modernize the paper-intensive processes and antiquated systems used to support the retirement of federal employees.

Cypress Hill's B-Real Coming Back to Arizona?
B-Real of Cypress Hill
It's been a minute since we've mentioned Cypress Hill and Arizona in the same sentence. The last time we were on talking terms was back on April 22, 2010, the day before SB1070 passed. The puff, puff, pass rappers performed at the Martini Ranch in Scottsdale that night, but no sooner had the ink dried from Jan Brewer's pen that the group canceled a May 21 Tucson date in response to the controversial law.
It looks like, at least for the time being, the Hill are ready to back off of their tough stance against Arizona.
Mathmadix rapper Jacob Cruz, otherwise known as Knawledg, unveiled a brown and green flier on his Facebook page yesterday, announcing a March 30 date headlined by none other than Cypress Hill's B-Real.
Billed as the Lite It Up Tour, Mathmadix and other local acts will be opening the all-ages night scheduled to take place at 910 Live in Tempe.

Playing Cricket - Rules and Regulations in Cricket
Like every other game, Cricket has rules and regulations that one must follow to play the gentleman's game in the spirit of Cricket. Cricket's popularity as a sport has increased over the years and many new countries like China, USA are actively preparing their teams to venture as a cricket playing nation. Viewership of matches on television and on the stadiums is increasing and advertisers are willing to invest large amount of money in cricket.
Many people play cricket just for fun and many think to become professional cricket players. Whatever your reason is, knowing all the rules and regulations of playing cricket will help and make you a better player. This page will give you complete details about the various rules and regulations of playing cricket.
ICC (International Cricket Council) recognizes three forms of cricket viz. Test cricket, One Day Internationals (ODI), and Twenty-Twenty (T20 cricket). Generally the rules apply to all the formats of the game with one or two exception-additions to the different formats. Like some rules are only meant for one day international, while some apply only to test cricket and some other may only apply to T20 internationals.
Basically the game of cricket involves two teams which is required to score runs and the team with the most runs is the winner.
Team Composition
International cricket matches have eleven players playing from each team in a match. The selection committee of the respective countries select fifteen players in a team in which they select the playing eleven on the match-day.
Cricket can also be played with fewer players, say about six players in each team with prior agreement with both the playing teams.
Captain and Vice-Captain
The playing eleven will include a captain and a vice-captain in the team. The captain of the team is responsible for taking all the decisions that take place on the field with the team. As a backup to the captain a vice-captain is also appointed in the wake of the captain getting injured or is not fit to play at the last moment.
Every cricket match will have two on-field umpires, one TV umpire and a fourth umpire. All the decisions and the conduct of the match is done by the two on-field umpires and the TV umpire sets in when the field umpire is not able properly judge an appeal.
A fourth umpire is a reserve umpire kept in case one of the field umpires gets injured. Players are not allowed to argue the decisions that are made by the umpires. ICC usually bans and/or fines' the players who argue the decisions made by the umpires.
The toss decides which team will bat or ball first. A coin is tossed in the presence of the match referee and one of the umpires by one of the captain and the captain winning the toss will notify his counterpart about the decision whether his team will bat or field first.
- Innings
A cricket match will at least have two innings. The innings is completed when the team is all out or the overs in the innings are finished. In test cricket, each team will have to play two innings. Also, in test matches a captain can declare his team if he believes that the situation of the match is in his teams favor.
The cricket pitch is the surface or the place where the game of cricket is played. A cricket pitch is of 22 yards (20.12 m) long and 3 meters wide. The middle of the pitch is a protected area which the bowler must avoid running. This is because running in the protected area will damage the pitch area where the ball bounces, making it difficult to bat. A bowler is warned at the most two times after which the bowler is refrained from bowling any further in the innings.
The batting team will send two of it's batsmen to score runs. Losing a wicket will have to send another batsmen until the team is all out.
On the other hand the bowling team will have to bowl and field. The team bowling will have the objective of containing the team batting to as less score as possible. In one day internationals a bowler is allowed to bowl only ten overs. In Twenty-20 format, the bowler is allowed at the most four overs. There is no limit in test cricket. A bowler cannot bowl two consecutive overs at a time.
Fielding is another aspect which the bowling team has to take care. Fielding basically means to contain the batting team scores.
- Overs
An over is a set of six bowls bowled by a bowler. In a test match, usually a team is required but not mandated to complete 90 overs in a day's play. In one day internationals and T20 format each team has to bowl 50 overs and 20 overs respectively.
- Runs
Run is the basic unit of scoring in cricket. Runs can be single (one run), two-runs, three runs, four, and six. If not overthrows a maximum of six runs can be scored in a ball. More on overthrows below.
- Four (Boundary)
Four runs is the awarded to the batting team if the ball touches or passes the boundary rope of the ground.
- Six
Six runs is awarded to the batting team if the ball without bouncing directly passes the boundary rope of the ground.
- Overthrows
Overthrows is an extra run(s) scored by a batsman in lieu of the ball not being collected by a fielder at the pitch. Overthrow run(s) are credited to the batsman. Any runs already scored are also being counted.
- Short Runs
A run is called short by the umpire if the batsmen running does not complete the run. If a batsmen is found of being deliberately attempting to run short then a 5-run penalty is imposed. Also if either of the batsmen is not in possession of their bat the run is called short. The bat must be in the hands of the player or else the run is called short.
No Ball
No ball is a kind of illegal delivery bowled by the bowler. The umpire calls the no ball by holding one arm out horizontally. A no ball is called when the bowler bowls without some part of front foot behind the crease. To compensate the illegal delivery the bowler has to bowl one another delivery as the ball does not count in the over and one extra run is also added in the batting team's score.
The batsmen cannot be given out on a no ball except in the form of a run out. There are many other reasons for which a ball can be called a no-ball, but the front foot no ball is mostly occurred. In one day internationals and T20 cricket, a free hit is also awarded, in the immediate next ball in which the batsmen cannot be given out except for a run out.
Wide Ball
If the bowler bowls the ball too wide from the batsmen then the ball is called as a wide ball. The umpire signals a wide ball by stretching both hands out horizontally. The ball is not counted as a legitimate delivery and an extra run is awarded to the batting team.
- Leg Byes
Leg byes are awarded when the batsman has not hit the ball from his bat, but the batsman's body or protective gear has been touched by the ball and the batsman has completed a run. The runs are added up to the teams total but not in the batsman's total. Umpires signal a leg bye with a hand touching their raised knee.
- Byes
Similarly, a bye is a run scored by the batsman when the ball has not been touched by any of the batsman's body part and the batsman has completed a run.
There are two other conditions for byes and how the runs are calculated.
If the ball was a no ball and any byes are scored, they are recorded in the scorecard as no balls, not byes.
If the ball was a wide and any byes are scored, they are recorded in the scorecard as wides, not byes.
The umpire signals byes by raising his arm into a vertical position, the palm of his hand open to differentiate between the signal for byes and out.
- Mandatory Field Restrictions
This point applies to all forms of cricket - Only two fielders are allowed between the position of square leg and long stop.
For One Day Internationals - For the first ten overs only a maximum of 2 fielders are allowed to field outside the 30 yard circle (30 yards are measured from the center of the pitch and the area outside the 30 yard circle is known as outfield and the area inside the circle is known as infield). After 10 overs the concept of powerplay comes into play.
For Twenty-20 internationals - Fielding restrictions of maximum of two fielders outside the 30 yard circle applies for the first six overs.
In all forms of cricket, a maximum of five fielders can field in the rest of the innings.
- Powerplay
Powerplay, the concept synonymous with field restrictions is applied in the one day form of cricket.
Powerplay one - For the first ten overs only two players are being allowed to field outside the 30 yard circle.
Powerplay two and three - These are chunks of 5 overs that the fielding restrictions apply. The decision to take the powerplay is at the prerogative of both the teams, one to each team. This means in an inning one powerplay will be called by the bowling team and the other will be called by the batting team. In powerplay 2 and 3 only three fielders are allowed to field outside the 30 yard circle.
If any of the team doesn't call for the powerplay then it will become mandatory in the final overs.
- Appeal
Appeal becomes important part of cricket since it is the way the fielding team appeals to the umpire for a wicket. Unless the team appeals the umpire cannot give his decision. Appeal is generally called in the form of 'How's That'.
Bowled Out
If a bowlers delivery hits the stumps and dislodges the bails completely then the batsmen is bowled out. At least one of the bails should be dislodged completely.
- Caught Out
If the ball hits the bat or the glove (glove only if the bat is in contact with the bat) and the ball is caught by any fielder on the ground then the batsman is given caught out.
- Run Out
If the bails on the stumps is dislodged by the fielding team while the batsmen are completing a run then it is called as run out.
- Timed Out
Though very rare, if the next batsman in the line does not gets ready to face the delivery within the next 3 minutes of the previous batsman who was out, then the batsman is given timed out. In international cricket there has never been a situation when a batsman has been given timed out.
- Stumped
A batsman is given stumped out if he goes to play the ball stepping out of his crease and the wicketkeeper dislodges the bails.
- Leg Before Wicket or LBW
If the batsman's any part of the body (usually the leg) and the umpire adjudges that the ball would go on to hit the stumps then the batsman is given out leg before wicket. One thing to keep in mind here is that the ball should not pitch outside the line of leg stump.
- Hit Wicket
If the batsman dislodges his stumps with his bat or body then the batsman is given out hit wicket.
If a team exceeds the runs made by the other team, then the team exceeding the runs wins the game.
- Tie
After the last ball of the game is delivered and the runs made by both teams are equal then game is tied.
- Draw
Draw which only applies to test cricket when the match is in situation where neither of the teams are in a position to win the game.
Though there are many more rules in the game of cricket, but these are the most important to keep in mind.

What is Peace?
The First year in international school everything was new, but one thing was very new for me, that thing was peace month.
I told myself ''what is peace?"
I backed to home and I checked in my dictionary and I found the meaning of the word.
'' it's just a month like other months." I told myself.
Next day when I went to school my teacher said, that we are going to have a sale, and after sale all of the money are for the child who need help. After that a group of bigger students came to our class and they told us about that child.
I told myself that peace is very good. So, when I backed to home I found something that I don't want them. So, I bring them to school and all of my things got sold out.
I was not sad because I didn't get my money and even I was very happy, just because of those children.
After all I think it's like a dream for those children when they get that money.

This canopied gas station is PRICED TO SELL!!! Located on a highly trafficked mainroad in western Suffolk, the potential for an owner-operator is unlimited. The two service bays and large parking area provide you with ample room to service a volume of cars. The bays are currently rented on a month-to-month basis, providing the owner with $3500/mo. The new owner can take over the bays at any time. The station's 2 pumps move more than 75,000 gallons per month of gas and diesel.The gallons are steadily going up now with a new landlord/distributor that is aggressive with pricing, enabling the owner to be competitive while making good margins. The station is open daily from 6:30am – 11pm. The tanks are up to date and ARE THE LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITY!!! The station has clean environmentals. Although the store is small, it has potential. The current owner has not tried to develop it, so adding beer, cigarettes and Lotto will definitely ramp up the sales. There is also additional revenue from ATM and vacuum.

Catching Up With Austin
Austin, Texas, is often our subject because House the Homeless was founded here 27 years ago and has played a major role ever since in reversing the tide of homelessness. Austin is important for other reasons. It is a progressive city inside a state that in many ways lags behind other places, when it comes to addressing social issues. But Austin definitely tries!
Interesting things have happened over the past few years. In the fall of 2012, the police chief publicly expressed his feelings about the importance, in his eyes, of moving organizations like the Austin Resource Center for the homeless, the Salvation Army, and Caritas out of the city center.
In the spring of March 2014, a group called Austin Atheists Helping the Homeless got some media attention when a volunteer known as Angel talked about the 5-year-old organization, which she and her husband had been donating energy to for several months. They had been looking for something useful they could do as a family, and found it there, working with not only adults but kids of all ages who collected and sorted useful items.
Angel told reporter Amy Roth:
We focus solely on distributing basic living items to people experiencing homelessness. Tangible donations are accepted year round then distributed once a month at "giveaways."
We set up our tables in the same parking lot as faith-based groups… [W]e make it a point not to preach…
I know our efforts won't eradicate homelessness. It's a systemic problem that's too complex to be solved by an hour-long giveaway once a month. If what we do helps someone get through the next few days, that's success.
Meanwhile, the Affordable Housing Bond had been approved by voters, allowing the city to borrow $65 million for the purpose of increasing both rental and ownership housing, as well as preserving the city's existing affordable housing. In the fall of 2014, we reported on Austin's innovative Community First Village.
The new year of 2015 began, and House the Homeless president Richard R. Troxell told the Statesman about the $8,000 raised by Hill Country Middle School for the annual thermal underwear gift party. This was followed by our reportage on the annual House the Homeless survey, which last year concerned relationships with the police.
Last fall, Austin was deeply concerned with completing its self-assigned task of bringing all homeless veterans in off the street, a mission complicated by the fact that the number of local homeless veterans had doubled since the previous year. This may not have been an actual increase in people, but significant of better methods of keeping track of them. House the Homeless observed Veterans Day with its usual attention, and our pages also featured a piece called "Life and Death in Homeless Austin."
Austin-Travis County Integral Care announced its plan to break ground for the Housing First Oak Springs facility, a 40,000 square foot property that will contain 50 efficiency apartments and a clinic. Nadia Galindo reported:
Austin-Travis County Integral Care began using the Housing First model in 2013. They placed 200 people in apartments across the community, two years later, 88 percent remain housed and used 70 percent less emergency and clinical services.
Last month, local media reported on some of the difficulties that veterans still have even when established in living spaces. A home is more than a roof, and needs working plumbing, up-to-code electricity, smoke detectors and so on. Apparently, some landlords believe it is no longer their responsibility to maintain rental properties in livable condition, but want public money or donations to repair the buildings they own.
Just a few days ago, Ending Community Homelessness Coalition (ECHO) announced that the most recent count of people experiencing homelessness revealed a 20% increase, although again, this may be the result of better canvassing methods or a growing willingness of people to be counted.
Either way, there appear to be 400 more people living in shelters and on the streets of Austin, than there were at the last count. Fox7Austin interviewed Richard R. Troxell, who pointed to the low minimum wage and the high cost of living, and went on to speak of the newly discovered extensive link between homelessness and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Reporter Jennifer Kendall summed up:
House the Homeless and ECHO both agree the best way to help those experiencing homelessness in Travis County is to find them shelter, but ECHO said during their annual count they found no empty beds at Austin's shelters.
So, unless more landlords step up to offer affordable housing to homeless people in the city, anyone new who comes to the area will not have a shelter to stay in.

How to Become Homeless – Have TBI
There are quite a few things the general public does not know about concussion injuries. For instance, the victim does not have to be rendered unconscious. In fact, a knockout occurs in only 10% of concussions, so you can't go by that. What causes a concussion is any kind of sudden impact to the body that makes the brain change speed or direction.
Think of driving a car. On impact, the car is abruptly halted but the driver's body is still going at the same speed as before, so it is thrown forward. If the air bag inflates, a cushion is created between the driver and the steering column, dashboard, windshield, and other hard objects that are in front.
The brain doesn't have an airbag, only a surrounding bath of cerebrospinal fluid, which doesn't have the same properties as a cushion full of air. On impact, the fluid is pushed aside, and the brain hits the inside of the hard skull bone.
When the impact is severe, the brain can then bounce in the other direction, hitting bone again on the opposite side. Cells stretch, tiny veins break, and chemicals are let loose into areas where they don't belong.
Two different kinds of blunt-force trauma can cause brain damage — linear acceleration and rotational acceleration. We quote here from the informational material included with the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survey conducted by House the Homeless in Austin, Texas:
The medical community now believes that this "rotational acceleration" does more damage than "linear rotation" since the blood vessels can stretch and tear as the brain rotates. In both instances, a chain reaction begins as chemicals in the brain move around in chaos creating disruption.
It gets worse
Another problem is Post-Concussive Syndrome, in which intense symptoms last for along time and the person may never recover the ability to concentrate, remember things, or sleep properly. In Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), the long-term results are poor judgment, dementia, drug-taking, lack of insight, depression, tinnitus, inability to balance, and other symptoms that interfere with the ability to hold down a job or even to manage the details of everyday life. It doesn't help to write down the address of a soup kitchen if the person forgets the note is in his pocket, or can't figure out how to get there.
Concussion can't be diagnosed by a blood test or brain scan or other physical test, only by indicators or symptoms. While there are considered to be 26 indicators, nobody manifests all of them all the time, but only a few at a time. CTE can't be diagnosed until the person's body is on an autopsy table. These conditions may be associated with Lou Gehrig's disease, bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease, and others processes in which neurotransmission is disrupted.
There is no good concussion, because they all interfere with the brain's ability to send and receive messages.
Source of information
Along with being president of House the Homeless, Richard R. Troxell is also Director of Legal Aid for the Homeless at Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. He uses the annual House the Homeless Thermal Underwear Party as an opportunity to ask the attendees to take part in various surveys.
The 2010 Health Survey revealed that 49% of people experiencing homelessness are too disabled to work a regular full-time job. That is nearly half, and it it lines up uncannily with the fact that nearly half of all homeless men have suffered a traumatic brain injury. This was discovered by Dr. Wayne Gordon of Mount Sinai Hospital's Icahn School of Medicine.
The brain injuries mainly happened before his rehabilitation patients became homeless, not as a result of rough street life. Some were the victims of parents and caregivers who see baby-shaking as a non-violent method of quieting a baby or getting its attention. On the contrary, baby-shaking is extremely violent and can cause brain injury that lasts a lifetime.
Other patients with TBI had been hit in the head, or been struck playing contact sports, or fallen from heights. Some had been in car accidents or were injured while on active military duty. House the Homeless has spoken before of the diabolical merry-go-round between the streets, the prisons, the foster care system and (for the lucky) hospitalization.
Dr. Wayne Gordon is very concerned about prisoners, who are in a position to receive massive abuse:
You need to train the correction officers to understand brain injuries so that when somebody may be acting rude or answering back or forgetting what they're supposed to do, it's not a sign of maladaptive misbehavior or disrespect, it's a sign of a brain injury.
The Veterans Administration notes that many returning vets wind up homeless for eight or nine times the length of their deployments. In other words, if a person spent a year in a war zone, it's not unusual for that to be followed by eight years of homelessness.
In fact, 27% of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are known to have TBI. The damage is cumulative, because more health risks show up the longer a person is on the streets. The VA has a chilling term, "tri-morbid," which means a person concurrently has mental illness, physical illness, and substance abuse.
A different physician with the same last name, Dr. Mark L. Gordon of the Millennium Health Centers, has worked extensively with veterans and achieved a totally new understanding of how TBI and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome might be treated by correcting hormone deficiencies.
One of the most distressing pieces of general ignorance is that when people hear "hormones" they think "sex," which is only a small part of a very large picture. Hormones do everything, including keeping the brain on track. If implemented, Dr. Mark L. Gordon's discoveries could treat a vast number of people at a relatively slight cost.

Why "Kids 4 Kids Sake!" Is Important
Last week, House the Homeless talked about the Kids 4 Kids Sake! campaign, which involves raising the awareness of potential presidential candidates about what needs to be done about children experiencing homelessness, and why. The illustration on today's page, created by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, is probably outdated. Currently, HomelessChildrenAmerica.org says one in 30 children are homeless in any given year.
A recommended resource on all aspects of homelessness is a "No Safe Place: Advocacy Manual," a report prepared by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty. Here are some facts from it:
- Family homelessness has been on the rise since the inception of the foreclosure crisis in 2007.
- The U.S. States Conference of Mayors found that family homelessness increased an average of 4% between 2012 and 2013 in its survey of 25 major American cities.
- In some areas of the country, the numbers are even higher.
- From 2011 to 2012, the number of unaccompanied children in shelter increased by 28%.
To rely on the numbers is misleading anyway. Counting people who have nowhere to live is a difficult job. In counting children and youth experiencing homelessness, problems come up.
There are two main types of kids — those attached to a single parent or a set of parents, and those who are on their own. In a way, the ones with parents are easier to count, through the school system, although with irregular attendance and frequent address changes they can be difficult to keep track of.
Elusive numbers
Minors are easier to count if the family stays in a shelter. One of the administrative problems in that field is deciding how long a family can remain. Some helpers believe that authorized stays need to be longer, to give families a better chance to get on their feet.
The choice is between a rock and a hard place: Help more families, short-term, and spit them back out into the world unprepared, so they will probably end up on the waiting list again; or help fewer families for longer periods until they really get solid ground under them.
On the other hand, kids with parents might be harder to identify. Even if two adults and five children are inhabiting a one-car garage with no water or electricity, there may be reasons why a family does not want to be identified as homeless. Some bureaucracies will substitute the gentler word "displaced," but changing the adjective doesn't really help.
Older kids, called "unaccompanied," are harder to count. Rather than officially entering the system by admitting that both parents are in jail, a teenager might prefer any kind of makeshift living arrangement. And she or he just might not bother with school. An accurate census is improbable. Also, different agencies, bureaucracies, and jurisdictions have different ways of defining homelessness.
Locating the lost
For Bridge Magazine, Pat Shellenbarger learned about the work done by Brenda Greenhoe, whose job (under a federal grant) is to find homeless kids and get them into school. Her beat includes four Michigan counties, comprising 2,400 square miles and more than 340,000 destitute kids living in some of the bleakest "poverty pockets" in any state. Overall, Michigan has more than 30,000 homeless students. In the 2013-14 school year, Greenhoe found 1,550 of them.
A couple of years back, Prof. Yvonne Vissing of Salem State College wrote a list titled "Being Ruthless for Homeless Children" that offered several suggestions for people who sincerely care about children. They included:
We must be ruthless against the everyday decisions that force parents to choose between which of their options are the least awful, instead of making decisions about which options are in the best interests of their children.
We must be ruthless against the policies and practices that force children to have no secure place to sleep and no where to call home.

People Experiencing Homelessness are Stripped of Everything
Emma Whitford related the harrowing story of a rainy night in East Harlem where several homeless people huddled beneath a protruding section of a building. City Parks Dept. workers showed up, along with some police officers.
According to participants, the people were not even given a chance to go out into the rain before the authorities began to load their belongings into a sanitation truck. In some cases, the police and/or city workers even shoved people to the ground and seized things that they held. The writer described the treatment of Anthony Rainey, a former Marine homeless since 1971:
Rainey says that most of his possessions were taken that morning as well—everything but an electronic benefit transfer card and credit card that happened to be in his pocket. Rainey lost his Veterans ID card, which he uses to ride public transportation free of charge and purchase clothing wholesale, plus family photographs, his birth certificate, hospital records, sweatshirts and jackets, and the CDs and chargers that he sells on the street.
Whitford also quoted Floyd Parks:
I grabbed my cart and was trying to get my stuff out, and the [officer]… just took my stuff and threw it in the [truck], and just crushed it up. And I said, 'Yo, I got personal property.' They said, 'Too bad.'
Apparently, the same kind of gratuitous, random confiscation happens on a regular basis all over America. Of course, no one wants piles of junk everywhere. But reasonable measures can be taken to keep a city looking neat, without seizing people's documents, or the things they are holding. In that New York incident, there was not even pretense of storing possessions to be picked up later. It went straight to the trash compacter.
Somewhere in Middle America
For a while, some of the people experiencing homelessness in Madison WI had been storing belongings in a supervised area at the Social Justice Center, but more space was needed downtown. The front steps of the City-County building took up some of the slack, an untenable situation that was never meant to last.
Last spring, city workers put up two enclosures across the street from there, out back of the Municipal Building, which took up part of the parking lot and probably annoyed some citizens for that reason alone. The doorless "chain-link boxes" were not equipped with shelves or dividers of any kind, so things were just bundled in there any which way. There were tarps across the top, but the sides were wide open to the weather. There was no supervision or security, so items were stolen and their owners were upset.
The authorities contended that advocates for the homeless had promised to look after the storage area. They charged that people were using the space for illegal and immoral activities, and closed the minimalistic wire shed at the end of July. Dean Mosiman wrote,
Belongings were to be removed from the facility by 2 p.m. Wednesday, with the city considering anything remaining as lost property and collected and bagged by city staff and stored off site for up to 45 days. Items that are worth less than $50, hazardous, perishable or with no sentimental, medical or legal value could be disposed immediately.
That sounds pretty reasonable, but veterans of America's streets have learned that items do not always arrive at destinations named by city workers. Several other issues arose, and it was pointed out that a firm agreement should have been made, and thoroughly understood by both sides, before the project was undertaken.
A great public relations opportunity was lost in Madison, and a lot of potential good will was squandered, that might otherwise have accrued to both sides. Imagine what might have happened if a capable organizer with a few devoted colleagues had been in the right place at the right time. It could have been a model project, illustrating how responsible people can be, even when they are not housed, and proving that they deserve to have fair treatment and jobs and places to sleep and all that good stuff. Just like, you know, regular people.
Richard R. Troxell, co-founder of House the Homeless, suggests that "The best way to avoid the criminalization of people experiencing homelessness, and these kinds of abuses, is simply to house them." On the way to that goal, the Wisconsin State Journal's Chris Rickert asks,
It's hard not to wonder: If city officials can't work with the homeless and their advocates on something so seemingly simple, how are they going to work together on more pressing needs — such as more shelter space, housing and mental health and substance abuse treatment?

Costs of Resisting the Housing First Paradigm
In the great Northwest, in Washington state, the Seattle University School of Law issued a report about the cost of criminalizing homelessness. Examining the municipal codes of 72 cities, they found twice as many anti-homeless ordinances as were on the books in 2000. Journalists Bryce Covert and Andrew Breiner summed it up like this:
Nearly 80 percent enacted ordinances prohibiting or limiting the ability to sit, stand, or sleep in public. Another three-quarters banned urination or defecation in public, although the report notes that "cities typically fail to provide sufficient access to reasonable alternatives such as 24-hour restrooms and hygiene centers." And nearly two-thirds outlaw "aggressive panhandling, while 22 percent criminalize storing personal property in public."
Criminalizing homelessness by outlawing the most unavoidable life functions like sleeping and urinating, has become a trend. In Venice, California, which used to be one of the freest places on earth, homeless people are routinely brutalized by the police for such offenses as "items placed on city beach" and "property outside of designated space." Samuel Arrington, a mentally ill homeless man who was beaten and tazed by 8 LAPD officers and subsequently hospitalized, had brought a chair and an umbrella out onto the sand.
The plot thickened when Arrington told the press that the cops had assaulted him on multiple occasions because he once warned a prospective heroin customer to stay away from a certain undercover cop, and thwarted a sting operation. Of course Arrington sued the city for violation of his civil rights, as have hundreds of others. In 2012 the L.A. Times published a spreadsheet detailing the settlements the LAPD had been ordered to make over the preceding decade. The yearly totals were $12 million, $16 million, and other numbers in that range. Many cases centered around homeless people, and police brutality is only one of the causes for which a city might be sued.
The illustration on this page shows a homeless street market, a bare-bones operation favored by those who want to hold a garage sale but don't have a garage. In many places, this is a highly illegal enterprise.
Austin, Texas, is a notable example of pushback against "quality of life" ordinances that do nothing for life's quality when the accused is a person experiencing homelessness. In response to people being legally punished for just sitting around, Richard R. Troxell of House the Homeless said something fraught with unintentional dark humor:
It is my belief that 100% of the people receiving these tickets were perceived to be homeless at the time of ticket issuance. I was only able to verify that 96% were experiencing homelessness at the time of the ticketing.
Getting back to Washington, the 5-year total spent by just two cities, Seattle and Spokane, to enforce homeless-persecuting statutes was almost $4 million. The number is just for civil infractions and doesn't even begin to cover the criminal violations costs. Covert and Breiner wrote:
On the other hand, the report estimates that if the $3.7 million spent enforcing the ordinances were instead spent on housing for the homeless, it would save $2 million a year and more than $11 million over the course of five years.
Criminalizing Homelessness on the East Coast
To varying degrees, some cities are beginning to see value in the Housing First philosophy. In the opposite corner of America, down in Florida, the Daytona Beach News-Journal published a comprehensive article on that state's homeless policies.
Volusia County Judge Belle Schumann researched 50 homeless people who have cost the county well over $12 million by being arrested multiple times —as many as 400 in one case, and more than 330 times in another. A jail diversion shelter to keep these individuals off the streets would cost approximately $13 per person, per day, as compared to the $65 per diem cost of keeping them in jail. Currently, the county has fewer than 100 shelter beds to serve its 5,000 homeless residents.

Looking Toward a Grim Future
RawStory.com just published a lengthy article titled "Older and sicker: How America's homeless population has changed."
The writer is Margot Kushel, Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. California is always worth keeping an eye on, because what happens there tends to spread to the rest of the country. As always, House the Homeless recommends that interested parties read the entire work, but here some key points.
For starters, about 20% (or one in five) of all the people experiencing homelessness in America are in California, a state with an unprecedented water shortage and a proneness to wildfires – not a good combination, especially for people whose only kitchen may be a campfire. The El Niño weather event will have some benefits, but too much water in too short a time can never bring happy results. Mudslides cover the houses of celebrities and CEOs, and torrents drown people who sleep along riverbeds.
On any day of the year about half a million cold, overheated, or rain-soaked Americans have no place to call home. A lot of adrift people go to urban areas if they can, because that is where the services are. In California, housing costs are the highest of any state, and the major cities are frighteningly expensive even at the best of times. Oakland, always on the scruffier side, is where Dr. Kushel's research team has tracked the lives of 350 homeless subjects since the summer of 2013. About people over 50, she says:
In the United States, more than 30 percent of renters and 23 percent of homeowners aged 50 and older spend more than half of their household income on rent. This makes it hard to pay for food and medicine, and puts them at high risk of becoming homeless.
And a lot of them do become homeless, just at the time of life when all the years of struggle are supposed to pay off. Many of the people in this study worked for decades at "low-skill, low-wage" jobs, barely able to keep up with present needs, but at least they had somewhere to live. Homelessness at any age is traumatic, but when a middle-aged person falls into it for the first time, the psychological trauma is considerable. In present-day America, half the people experiencing homelessness are over 50. What does this mean in practical terms? Kushel says:
When the homeless population was made up of a majority of younger adults, health care providers focused on treating substance use and mental health disorders, traumatic injuries and infections, many of which could be treated with short-term care. Now, with an older homeless population, health care providers have the difficult task of managing chronic diseases like diabetes and heart and lung disease. The point our study highlights is that the systems set up in the 1980s were not designed to serve an aging population.
About half of the older group are not new to homelessness, but have been in the wind for years, shuttling through the well-worn pathways that lead from shelter to jail to hospital to roadside camp to shelter to jail, on and on with endless variations but always the same old story. Their initiating traumas happened long ago, and their health situations have been deteriorating for years. Of the newer middle- and late-middle-aged homeless, Kushel says:
Their lives became derailed by job loss, illness, a new disability, the death of a loved one or an interaction with the criminal justice system.
Someone rooted in a stable lifestyle might be able to handle one of those tragedies, get through the difficulty, and make a recovery. But life-changing events tend to gang up on a person who is already in a vulnerable state. Troubles arrive in bunches, and the domino effect is alive and well. Once they hit the streets, the sick get sicker, and the previously healthy become sick.
A person who has a roof, electricity, and running water finds it difficult to deal with functional and/or cognitive impairments, multiple medications, special treatments like oxygen, strict dietary requirements, frequent medical appointments, and endless piles of hellish paperwork. For a homeless person, existing with an illness or disability is insanely difficult.
Homelessness shortens anyone's life expectancy, and it's not surprising that homeless old people "die at a rate four to five times what would be expected in the general population." Dr. Kushel leaves us with a statement and two questions:
What policymakers and the general public need to recognize is that the homeless are aging faster than the general population in the U.S. This shift in the demographics has major implications for how municipalities and health care providers deal with homeless populations.
How do we adapt existing programs for homeless adults to meet the needs of an aging population?
And possibly even more intractable but fundamental: how do we stop older people from losing their homes?

Why Do Some Refuse Shelter?
All year round, and especially during the annual or biannual count of people experiencing homelessness, outreach workers take on the job of informing people about their options. Maybe some street people don't know that shelter is available, or what the requirements are. On the other side of the coin, some have had such negative experiences in shelters that they prefer to endure any other accommodations.
One school of thought that some people like to characterize as "tough love" but is more likely just callousness, holds that shelters are not supposed to be nice places. If the place is comfortable, lazy freeloaders will just stay forever. According to this world-view, the necessity to endure discomfort and indignity in a shelter is supposed to provide all the inspiration needed to encourage people to find a job and a home. If only it were that easy! If living under punitive conditions was all it took to turn people's lives around and set them on the path to success, Skid Row would be full of millionaires.
Rules Are Rules…Which Can Be Bad for the Homeless
For housed people who don't encounter these problems, it is tempting to go for the easy answer and think that shelter resistance stems from an unwillingness to follow the regulations. Certainly, there are individuals who prefer to live outside and stay inebriated rather than put up with a no-alcohol rule.
Unfortunately, strictures that sound reasonable on paper can be totally counterproductive for those who are fortunate enough to find work. What if the only shelter in the area closes down its sign-in process at 4:30 in the afternoon, and you have a job that ends at 5:00? What if it's only a part-time gig, or even a full-time job at minimum wage? You still can't afford to rent a place to live, and thanks to the sign-in time limit, you're worse off than an unemployed homeless person because you'll need to sleep outside. That's "economic homelessness," a situation in which far too many people find themselves.
A blogger known as "Moondustwriter" wrote about staying with her daughter in an apartment setup shared with another single mother:
This particular shelter didn't have a soup kitchen. So on the two to maybe three hundred I would have a month, I would struggle to pay for food, basics (like clothes and toiletries) and transportation for two. Don't get me wrong, I learned how to live on $300 a month but you don't save any money to get your own place by living in a shelter.
If a person experiencing homelessness is lucky enough to have a job but works night shift, forget about the standard shelter. In some cities, if the weather is unbearably cold or hot, there may be a place where people can hang out during the day. But getting a proper sleep is out of the question.
Often, shelter "beds" are no more than mats on the floor. Sure, that's probably better than frostbite, but keeping your fingers and toes can come at a high price, like catching tuberculosis from the person on the adjoining mat, or becoming infested with bedbugs, or being stepped on or vomited on by someone on the way to the toilet. There is a psychological price, too. A newly homeless person is in no position to be a snob, but life suddenly becomes full of people you would not consider for the role of bestie. Ted Heistman wrote:
It's natural to seek rapport with the people you are hanging out with, but you want to avoid having dysfunction rub off on you too much. You don't want to start thinking its normal to stink and be dirty and drunk or stoned all the time.
Balancing that disadvantage, some experienced people say that the motivated and upwardly bound homeless person will stand out. In a shelter, it's possible that…
Only about 10 to 20% will be normal middle class type people that have found themselves in a bad situation. This is you. People will go out of their way to help you, even the other hard case homeless people might. So if you swallow your pride and accept the help, you may soon find yourself with a new place to live.

War in American Culture by Lewis A. Erenberg
Book Description"The War in American Culture" explores the role of World War II in the transformation of American social, cultural, and political life. World War II posed a crisis for American culture: to defeat the enemy, Americans had to unite across the class, racial and ethnic boundaries that had long divided them. Exploring government censorship of war photography, the revision of immigration laws, Hollywood moviemaking, swing music, and popular magazines, these essays reveal the creation of a new national identity that was pluralistic, but also controlled and sanitized. Concentrating on the home front and the impact of the war on the lives of ordinary Americans, the contributors give us a rich portrayal of family life, sexuality, cultural images, and working-class life in addition to detailed consideration of African Americans, Latinos, and women who lived through the unsettling and rapidly altered circumstances of wartime America. Lewis A. Erenberg is professor of history at Loyola University of Chicago and Susan E. Hirsch is associate professor of history at Loyola.

Greatest Fight of Our Generation, Paperback (March 2007)
Held on June 22, 1938, in Yankee Stadium, the second Louis-Schmeling fight sparked excitement around the globe. For all its length - the fight lasted but two minutes - it remains one of the most memorable events in boxing history. This book offers a portrait of Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, their individual careers, and their two epic fights.
Swingin' the Dream, Paperback (October 1999)View all books by Lewis A. Erenberg
Exploring 1930s swing bands, this book looks at the racial mixing-up and musical swinging-out that shook the American nation and has kept people dancing ever since. Studying the big band era, Lewis A. Erenberg places the music within a larger context and makes his case for its importance.

Human Flesh
If cooked or roasted it symbolises wealth. If uncooked it means backbiting –if eaten. For Allah Ta'ala says; Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, you will abhor it.
it symbolises a tyrant ruler or king who is powerful and well known as a warlord. Acquiring or owning a falcon which obeys his commands means he will acquire assets and estates; he will also wield power by way of his appointment to kingship. Similarly, if it is seen flying horizontally with him on its […]
Flying on the Back of a Vulture
If he dreams that he is flying horizontally on the back of a vulture, he will enjoy honour, sublimity and power by being promoted to the office of kingship. But if the vulture flies with him vertically towards the heavens, he will die while on a journey. For, such a vulture would then represent the […]
Eating the Raw Meat of a Goat
Eating raw meat of goat or striking someone with such meat means he will slander someone or speak ill behind his back.
Carrying a Sheep on the Back
It means he will bear the expenses of another person.
Dreaming of a cellar indicates you're depressed. If the cellar is full of wood or coal, you'll soon come out of your depression. Bottles of wine in the cellar indicates you'll be a while yet before snapping out of it. An empty cellar means you'll shortly feel back to your old self.
To see someone you know well using a calculator indicates that circumstances may soon bring out a colder, more calculating, side of this person. If you are totaling up a debt that someone owes you, it is an omen that you will have to dun someone in order to get your money or property back. […]

The Old Stone Gate is the only remaining gate from the thirteenth century wall around the Upper Town. The gate is particularly interesting because it's not only a gate, but houses a Madonna and Child painting that miraculously escaped a fire in 1731. Today, a chapel is built into the gate to house the painting and the faithful light candles...
This is worth seeking out, although not hard to spot as many of the locals seek it out for a bit of prayer and quiet reflection. It's a former gateway in the city walls which now houses a shrine and image of Our Lady, complete with a few tiny pews squeezed in one corner. We happened to be here in...
The Stone Gate is a medieval city gate and is part of what remains of the city walls which once stood around the old town. There is a shrine which houses a painting of the Virgin and Child. Worth a visit
It is a medieval city gate where they built a shrine. Admire the smoke-darkened ceiling and take in the many who are there, after lighting a candle, engrossed in prayer.
You must see this. So small but you can feel the Energy.
Near by you have coffee shop. Turistic venue
interesting gate with religious importance. specific climate there so do not yell inside. this is not too far from the other attractions saving you some time and walking.
First night we went looking for it, we were not sure where it was. Then we saw the seats and the icon and we figured out that this was the Porta di Pietra. We also went in the morning, people are praying there and it is very peaceful. It is on the way to the museums, easy access from town.
This is a very old part of Zagreb which still remains. There is a shrine which is quite spiritual underneath.
This is place where you can pray or just be in a moment,reflect on life,thoughts,people. This place have peaceful energy and harmony. Its small piece of history but brings a lot of peace and hope. If yu have oportunity,go to visit.
The Stone Gate is lovely to visit. There is a "shrine" to the Virgin Mary as it is the only thing that survived after a devastating fire. Lots of people go here for prayers and lighting of candles. A must-see!

Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis
2nd Revised edition
By (author) Javier Bonet Richard D. Wood
Format: Hardback
Checking availability...
Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis by Javier Bonet
Book DescriptionDesigning engineering components that make optimal use of materials requires consideration of the nonlinear characteristics associated with both manufacturing and working environments. The modeling of these characteristics can only be done through numerical formulation and simulation, and this requires an understanding of both the theoretical background and associated computer solution techniques. By presenting both nonlinear continuum analysis and associated finite element techniques under one roof, Bonet and Wood provide, in this edition of this successful text, a complete, clear, and unified treatment of these important subjects. New chapters dealing with hyperelastic plastic behavior are included, and the authors have thoroughly updated the FLagSHyP program, freely accessible at www.flagshyp.com. Worked examples and exercises complete each chapter, making the text an essential resource for postgraduates studying nonlinear continuum mechanics. It is also ideal for those in industry requiring an appreciation of the way in which their computer simulation programs work.
