Located in Via Mastro Giorgio in the Testaccio area of Rome, close to such important historic sites as the Circus Maximus and the Bocca della Verità, the apartment lies just a short distance from Piramide underground station (Linea B) and is well served by the city bus service.
Between the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, Testaccio was a port on the River Tiber, the place in which goods from all over the Roman Empire were landed having been brought up the River Tiber from the sea port of Ostia Antica.
Today Testaccio is an eclectic, rather bohemian area, an area in which the traditional Roman way of life lives side by side with innovation. One of the best examples of this blend is the MACRO Future gallery of contemporary art which is housed within a former meat market.
From Monday to Saturday the main square of the Testaccio area is occupied by a picturesque open air fruit, vegetable, herb and flower market, while the famous Sunday-morning Porta Portese flea market is also held just a short distance from the apartment.
Testaccio is also famous for its nightlife. Indeed some of the most fashionable bars and nightclubs in Rome are located in Via Monte Testaccio, a street which skirts the artificial mound of ancient pottery from which the Testaccio area takes its name. Some of the bars are dug into the ancient pottery hillside and it is possible to see fragments of antique amphorae in their walls.
The apartment is located in an ideal position for visiting tourist attractions by day and enjoying the lively nightlife of Testaccio by night. The trattorias and restaurants of Testaccio are famous for their typical Roman cuisine.
The apartment is located on the first floor of a late 19th century palazzo with a large internal courtyard. The building is served by a concierge.
Cozy and welcoming, the recently restructured apartment is divided into two main areas, both of which are furnished in a practical modern style. The day area is composed of a sitting room with double sofa bed (190 cm x 160 cm) and a kitchenette. The kitchen is fully fitted with microwave oven, fridge, gas hob and all necessary pots, pans, crockery and cutlery. The sitting room has satellite television and a DVD player.
An antechamber divides the day area from the sleeping quarters in such a way as to ensure the privacy of all the guests using the apartment. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed and a large wardrobe. A fifth guest may sleep in single folding bed in the living room.
The bathroom is decorated in shades of white and aqua-green and is fitted with a shower.
The apartment has air conditioning, washing machine, an autonomous heating system and free WI FI Internet access in order to ensure maximum comfort.

the apartment was nice . what was minus was that the drain in the bathroom sink was clogged, drain the same bathroom in the shower was almost clogged. in one bedroom was doorframe broken and loose when we came . Apart from this , we will be happy again .
We were 7 persons staying 5 days in Rome. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious and well equipped. It was very quite with no trafikk noise and the location was perfect, walking distance from many atractions and Bernini metro stadion very close.
Very nice apartment, small but stylish, very well organized and extremely friendly check in person, everything fine!! Very recommendable.
Even Colosseum within walking distance, nice restaurant district round the corner.
Thank you Daniela and staff!
The location of the apartment we thought was good. Adjacent to the big sights (Coloseum etc.), the others are good on foot to reach, yet the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the terrace and the view over the rooftops of Rome very. The bar opposite can be good and quick breakfast, also good restaurants it has in close proximity. Especially recommended is the Cafe propaganda.
The apartment corresponds to the tender and it had air conditioning which we were very happy. The check-in and check-out has smoothly functioning as well as the taxi service from and to the airport.
Die Lage der Wohnung empfanden wir als gut. Angrenzend zu den grossen Sehenswürdigkeiten (Coloseum etc.), die anderen sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen und dennoch liegt die Wohnung in einem ruhigen Quartier. Wir haben die Terasse und die Sicht über die Dächer Roms sehr genossen. An der Bar gegenüber kann man gut und schnell Frühstücken, auch gute Restaurants hat es in nächster Nähe. Speziell zu empfehlen ist das Cafe Propaganda.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Ausschreibung und sie hatte eine Klimaanlage über die wir sehr froh waren. Das Check-In und Check-Out hat reibungslos funktioniert wie auch der Taxiservice vom bzw. zum Flughafen.
Our group of seven family members stayed in this property about two weeks ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very large and easily accommodated our group. It was very clean, and the wine and cake provided on our arrival were most appreciated. The apartment was only a few blocks from the Termini station and so was an easy walk for us. It was also not very far from Rome's major historic attractions. It is ideal for a large group. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were travelling in a large group to Rome.
Staying in Rome great ar. The apartment was great, it was clean, well maintained and in wonderful central location, so we were able to experience Rome well from this location. The transport service was impeccable and the correspondence before the trip was very personal, so we felt always very well looked after. Apartment and I can recommend without reservation providers
Der Aufenthalt in Rom ar toll. Die Wohnung war super, sie war sauber, gepflegt und in wunderbar zentraler Lage, so dass wir Rom von diesem Standort aus gut erleben konnten. Der Transportservice war tadellos und die Korrespondenz vor der Reise war sehr persönlich, so dass wir uns stets ausgesprochen gut betreut fühlten. Wohnung und Anbieter kann ich vorbehaltlos empfehlen
What a great stay!! Fine apartment with beautiful roof terrace with plenty of space, however, we feel that the apartment was just small enough to 9 people. We were 6 girlfriends and it was adequate. There was one large sheet for each double bed and if you are not lovers, this is not good; we had wished that there had been one sheet per person. Booking company, hostess and apartment can be recommended, very good contact all the way from order to arrival / departure. Fine agreement with the pick-up taxi to and from the airport. We could stay there again; just 2 minutes from the Spanish Steps. Thank you for the stay and the experience ..
(not recommended for people with walking difficulties, there are many stairs up to the penthouse - however, elevator to the 3rd floor) ...
Apartment quite satisfactory !! Very well located in a very lively area
One can visit Rome on foot !! Everything is within 20 minutes walk!
Very comfortable
We had a service and a first class welcome
Recommended !!!
Appartement tout a fait satisfaisant !! Très bien situé dans un quartier très animé
On peut visiter Rome à pied !! Tout est à moins de 20 minutes de marches !
Très confortable
Nous avons eu un service et un accueille de première classe
A recommandé !!!

Report: water pollution at TVA power plant sites
NASHVILLE, TN (AP) _ A new report by an environmental group says the Tennessee Valley Authority has polluted groundwater supplies at all its coal-fired power plants nearly five years after a massive coal ash spill at its Kingston power plant.
The report by the Washington-based Environmental Integrity Project says TVA could be doing more to protect drinking water supplies from harmful substances. The ash is a byproduct of burning coal at power plants, and the EPA is currently considering whether to classify it as a hazardous material.
The group's report was based on data from TVA monitoring wells, the Tennessean reports. It identifies toxic pollutants including arsenic, boron and sulfate.
TVA said in a statement it was moving aggressively to prevent future damage to water supplies from coal ash.

I've watched Cohen's SP combination in slowmo several times on my DVD and big screen tv and it's abundantly clear to me that she under-rotated the Lutz attempt and took off from the wrong edge making it a flutz. Her score should be about 5 points lower than it is currently. The triple should have been counted as a double with negative GOE for the wrong edge. She is being helped big time by the judges and this contest is fixed for the max for her to make the team. If she doesn't fall numerous times in the LP, she's on the team. It's so !
THE SKANDAL IS ON!!! :banging:


text: When you have a new movie coming out like Jonah Hill does and you have a million press appearances forthcoming to discuss said movie, you like the questions to be about the movie. Well, over the weekend Jonah assured himself that the movie would not be the only topic of discussion. Jonah was being trailed by two paps and one of them commented on Jonah's shorts. He kept at it and was probably hoping for some kind of response but didn't get it. He turned away after saying have a good day and that is when Jonah said, "Suck my d**k you fa**ott. Yeah, so not sure where that came from. Maybe he went to the Alec Baldwin school of charm. Jonah is not the nicest person in the world, but he has never lashed out at the paps quite like this. You will notice that he and Brad Pitt don't speak any longer after what Jonah did at Brad's house. He never stays with a woman very long because he treats them all like crap. Unless you can do something for Jonah he is probably not going to be very friendly. He tries to come across as friendly and just an average guy, but he isn't. I don't know whether he is homophobic or just was having a bad day, but when the words come out of your mouth so easily, it's a fair bet that you have used them before. If you get in a fight with someone, is that the word that is going to come out of your mouth? Was Jonah upset because a guy commented on his shorts? Did that make him uncomfortable? To be fair, the shorts were pretty hideous. If you want to watch the video you can click here to go to TMZ.

Keeping the hive on bricks sitting in a pan of water (treated). What do yall think of that?
Major advantages or disadvantages?
Keeping the hive on bricks sitting in a pan of water (treated). What do yall think of that?
Major advantages or disadvantages?
Mites enter the hive on the bees. The bees pick them up in the field or when they enter other hives.
Perhaps you are referring to small hive beetles.
My first summer I made a "moat" with a frame of 2 x 4s (not nailed together, just sitting in a square) and a plastic tarp draped over it, filled with about an inch of water. Hive on 2 concrete blocks in the moat. The moat sloped enough that one edge was shallow and the bees could crawl on the tarp to drink or get out of the water. The bad news: It was on my raised deck and over a year, that corner of the deck sank about 3 inches. Aside from that (and the one windy day when the new heavily laden bees missed the landing board and went for an unexpected swim and had to be rescued with my handy dandy chinese wok screened ladle,) I think it did drown SHB larvae that dropped into it and also provided some cooling to the hive in 100 degree temps and a handy source of water. I wouldn't treat the water for that reason. When it started looking too scuzzy or smelly, I slid one of the 2 x 4s out and let it drain, then refilled it. The dead bees they dropped out of the hive did make it smelly pretty quickly. Don't think it is worth doing again.
Good points, but wouldn't those have just fallen onto the dry ground anyways? Otherwise, I suppose the water's not a great idea.
SHB fly in.
Please visit my page, Thanks
Sounds like a mosquito breeder to me. Guess it would cut down on ant problems, though.
Could you not put salt below it instead?
Grandchildren are the best.... Bees a close second....
any salts that aren't harmful to bees that keep bacteria down and don't allow mosquitos?
I can think of one pretty darn simple NATURAL solution (no pun intended), but I'd rather keep it decent.
Maybe aquarium salts?
I live on a salt marsh and belive me when I tell you that mosquitos can breed in salt water. Some pieces of swimming pool chlorine tablets would keep the mosguitos out, and the bees love swimming pool water.
Please visit my page, Thanks
chlorine salts aren't harmful to bees?
They sell a plastic ball to keep mosquitoes out of peoples koi ponds, I think they are filled with barley, or hops not sure.
To keep mites out of the hive, you have to have the hive below water...which isn't so good for the bees
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead

Taxpayers are going to be spending a bundle to keep the perp incarcerated. One wonders if he is an illegal. And, yes, as a U. S. citizen and taxpayer I have every right to ask that question, especially given how much Californians pay each year locking up criminal illegals. So, left-wing-loons please hold your howling at bay.

Glad they caught this guy and put him away. Don't know why he thought driving from Sacramento to Pleasanton and leaving the body here would be a good idea. Did he think that we have so many body-in-trash-can cases here that his would be overlooked?

@Primo R. Regardless of whether he is a citizen or not he has to pay the piper for his crime. If he is here illegally, he will serve his sentence and if released, be deported. Ponder this: what if instead of him being "illegal", he was a tourist that happened to kill someone? Legal or illegal, the perp needs to pay for their crime.
A2 Sam. I never saw that he was in Sacramento...they never revealed the details, maybe he worked in Plesanton or somewhere west.

15 to life? with "good behavior" this killer will be out in less than 10 (thx in part to Cali screwed up laws/judicial system)His wife was killed by strangulation (although he has not been charged with the crime) He will kill again and some innocent persons life will be taken. To put icing on the cake, he will get free room/board + health care + gym + educational benefits all compliments of the Cali tax payers.
Time to bring in a sheriff like the guy in AZ.

Okay, so this is a newbie report. A couple weeks ago an old friend gave me part of his Sunday afternoon to run me through some IDPA stage commands, and last weekend I visited some at the state IDPA championships. Yesterday I relaxed some of my "conserve ammo" restraints and for the first time practiced a smooth, albeit slow, draw from concealment and put 2 in the middle, 1 up top. At about 10-15 yards I could generally hit a peice of printer paper torn in half, one for each section.
My training goal is to shoot "Marksman" the first qualifier of next year. Wish me luck and hold me accountable to training!
Go for it Leam. Were rooting for you. Have fun and enjoy.
Good luck, You are off to a good start. One thing that will really help is dry fire practice.
I have three IDPA targets spaced out on my garage wall. I put on my holster and gear and with an empty gun, I draw and line up the sights,move to the next target etc.
I have some red painted dummy rounds that I practice magazine changes with. You can practice almost anything that you do at the match except actual shooting.
I would also recommend brian Enos book and some of Matt Burketts DVD's especially the IDPA one but they are all very good.
Good Luck and have fun!
Sounds like your on the right track. I hoping one day to do it also but have to get the back fixed. Once that happens I'll inquire more about it. Your very lucky to have such a nice friend to help you get started. Good Luck and I'll wait to see you on a magazine cover.
Well, so far I have all fingers and toes intact; my basic definition of a good shooting time!
However, I've started to tense up on some shoots and am pulling the shots way down. The classifier is Jan 13th so I need to get my head and trigger finger back in the game. I've got a good "IDPA load" which meets the minimum PF plus some and I've got a lot of brass ready to take it. Just need to get my heinie in gear and practice more.
I've read the BE book and am practicing some of it. However, most of his stuff is still way past my level. However, the book is on loan to a friend who *is* ready for it and he'll be making great progress in the next few months. OTOH I have some notes from a post Bruce Gray did a while back and that, with the lowest level BE stuff, should keep me busy until the classifier. It'll be a test of how much good info I can absord and how much discipline I have.
Drat, never had much discipline....
I'll see what I can do. I'm also making a wider grip for my 1911 and talking to folks who know a lot more about them. Again it goes back to "plenty of resources needing plenty of discipline".
Well, in spite of not training nearly as much as planned and letting my head jump out of the game totally in stage 3 I made marksman today. Stage 1 was my best; slow at 61 seconds but only 1 point down. Stage 3 was fast and many point down, and just a mess of a shoot.
But I did it and came away with as many fingers and toes as I had started with.

Political Advocacy Tracker is a roundup of what Christian activist organizations have been talking about over the last week.
Seeking Social Justice
Glenn Beck crossed the line when he told people to leave churches that promote "social justice," said The New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good and Sojourners.
On his March 2 radio show, Beck told listeners:
I beg you, look for the words "social justice" or "economic justice" on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If I'm going to Jeremiah's Wright's church? Yes! Leave your church. Social justice and economic justice. They are code words. If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish. Go alert your bishop and tell them, "Excuse me are you down with this whole social justice thing?" I don't care what the church is. If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: "Excuse me, what's this social justice thing?" And if they say, "Yeah, we're all in that social justice thing," I'm in the wrong place.
When his co-host suggested that churches may not grasp the real meaning of "social justice," Beck answered, "There's a very good chance that people don't know what it is. That's why you have to educate yourself."
On his television show March 2 and on his radio show yesterday, Beck said "social justice" was the one common rallying cry of both Nazis and Communists because they both want totalitarian government.
Jim Wallis, president of Sojourners, called for Christians to boycott conservative commentator Glenn Beck, who told his radio audience to question and abandon churches that say they promote social or economic ...1

Stewart Brand:
The dawn of de-extinction. Are you ready?
Throughout humankind's history, we've driven species after species extinct: the passenger pigeon, the Eastern cougar, the dodo ... But now, says Stewart Brand, we have the technology (and the biology) to bring back species that humanity wiped out. So — should we? Which ones? He asks a big question whose answer is closer than you may think.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Sept. 12, 2013) – From Alaska to Florida, Minnesota to Missouri and many points between, the founders of U.S. startups stand ready to give it their best shot at "Get in the Ring: The American Startup Clash." A total of 283 U.S. entrepreneurs looking to scale their startups applied to compete in Get in the Ring, and first-round judging to select up to 40 semifinalists is under way.
The international pitch competition comes to the United States for the first time this year as a showcase event of Global Entrepreneurship Week in November. Hosted by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and sponsored nationally by Sprint, the U.S. competition will culminate on Nov. 18 in Kansas City when eight finalists literally get in the (boxing) ring to convince a panel of judges that their startup is the best in the nation.
The U.S. entrepreneur deemed the top prospect in Kansas City will immediately travel all-expense-paid to the Nov. 22 Get in the Ring global finals in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. There, he or she will go head to head with seven other international finalists for a chance to secure angel investment of more than $1 million.
Get in the Ring was founded in 2009 by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship in the Netherlands to bring the world's most promising entrepreneurs together with those who can help them succeed and to inspire others to start their entrepreneurial journeys. In just five years, the competition has grown to include 30 nations. The international finals are held each November during Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW).
For the U.S. competition, Combat Brands/Ringside, a boxing equipment company in Lenexa, Kan., has joined as an event sponsor. Additionally, Kansas City PBS television station KCPT has come aboard as a media sponsor.

APCNews - September 30 2008 - Year IX Issue 88
APCNews – September 30 2008 – Year IX Issue 88
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
In March 2008 statistics showed that just 3.6% of internet users in the world were from Africa. APC is advocating governments and business to "open up" infrastructure and regulate for lower prices. Mauritius did this and results look promising. You can read our recent studies now available in English, French and Portuguese and an interview with researcher, Abi Jagun on her analysis of connectivity on the west coast of Africa. Half a million used computers are sent to Nigeria each month but only 25% of them actually work. In the UK, it's illegal to dump e-waste at home and an APC member says it's time to tighten up the laws about dumping overseas.
Why African governments need to listen to the case for "open access" to international communications infrastructure
SAXONWOLD (Lisa Thornton for APCNews) – Africa faces two serious challenges regarding internet connectivity – high prices and unreliable connections. The SAT-3/WASC cable, a submarine cable that runs from Portugal to South Africa, has the potential to help alleviate some of the connectivity challenges however, a study released by the APC in May 2008 and now in French and Portuguese written by Abiodun Jagun, reveals that the cable remains largely under-utilised. APCNews talks to Abi Jagun about her findings.
Cyber strategy: Mauritius case study
LONDON (Russell Southwood for APC) – As other African countries along the SAT-3 submarine internet cable struggle with the high costs of monopolised international bandwidth, Mauritius has encouraged a lowering of prices through price-setting. But Mauritius Telecom had lowered its rates even before the government scale came into effect. As a result, the Cyber Island has seen a significant increase in its call centre and outsourcing sectors. Can Mauritius provide lessons to countries that are looking to boost their economies? This study written by Russell Southwood for APC in May, and now available for the first time in French and Portuguese, examines the relationship between international bandwidth prices in Mauritius and the impact of its Cyber Island strategy.
World's largest non-profit supplier of refurbished computers launches campaign for action against toxic trade
LONDON (Computer Aid) – APC member Computer Aid is urging the UK government to take action against the illegal dumping of e-waste (computers, hard drives, cd roms, etc.) in countries such as Ghana, Nigeria and China. It is calling on the government to provide adequate funding for the Environment Agency to effectively police and prevent e-waste from being exported to the developing world. The campaign also targets commercial traders that are abusing re-use and recycling initiatives and computer manufacturers that are turning a blind eye to their equipment being dumped in these countries.

Rainy day in downtown Mahon.
... and one can well understand the strategic importance of the port. Just as we finished the trip we were rewarded with a 3 hour thunderstorm with loads of thunder , lightening and at least 10 centimetres of rain. We spent the time having lunch overlooking the harbour. The boat got a little wet!!! as we left the boat unprepared for such ...
Chilling in Mahon
... to a beautiful mansion on the seafront with truely great views. As well as a great lunch Peter was well read in the history of Mahon harbour.
We have been dropped back to our lovely dry boat, but still too hot to stay onboard during the day so now in a bar preparing for some tourism tomorrow.
Signing off john.
Ley day
Active day on the boat today although sailing miles much reduced - John cleaned and dried a pretty wet boat after yesterday's sail. Hard work aside we had time for a pleasant breakfast, lunch and now having lamb/sea bass for supper. Mahon an interesting town - quieter today as now entering the low season - maybe the marina prices will drop. Walked up into the old town before food looking at the sights! but now back on the waterside for food. Tomorrow may be even less active.
Arrived in the capital
... in Mahon a little bit wet but in time for a good late lunch of Dorada. Found a good mooring in marina Mahon - pretty much in the centre of all action. Remnants of a classic boat racing event - good to see some excellent designs. Monday a bit if boat servicing and r& r ready for some more action. ...
Left ciutadella
... instructions to me. John did the tricky anchoring bit at the end. Paddled into town for supper Weather forecast tomorrow more of the same so should be fine sailing. Enjoying ourselves.
P.s. ian is a blind bugger, so I have had to edit this, or no one would understand it, ( dont worry he cant read this)
On a serious note it is very fine that we are back sailing together ...

My last post has got me thinking about spring and the only thing more imprtant than the bees, Morels! I usually manage to get more than I can eat every year, and I need a good way to preserve them for later.
I have tried dehydrating them but they shrink so much that its almost not worth doing, When you try to freeze them they just turn to watery mush when thawed.
Does anyone have a good way to preserve them?

Old Trees Shed Their Gowns
I hurry because it is cold, even though the sun is shining so brightly. The breeze is lightly touching my cheeks with icy fingers. My shadow goes before me, slightly to my right. I hear the newly fallen leaves crunching under my heavy shoes in the front yard, but as I go through the gate into the back I notice the leaves have been mulched and there are no newly fallen leaves. The old trees there have already shed their gowns and lift their arms to the blue skies waiting for whatever the season might bring them.

Louis Vuitton President Case
How to start 2013 like a boss? Well, get one of those Louis Vuitton President case that have become a must-have to carry millions of dollars in cash or dozens of Patek Philippe watches. Buy it here (price tells a lot about the exclusiveness of this product).
Well, let me share a brief anecdote about Louis Vuitton: In 1830, a provincial young frenchman, walked the 400 km from his hometown to glorious Paris. Eventually he was hired as a "layetier", a kind of manservant who woud pack your trunks. He must have done his duties really well, because he caught the attention of Napoleon III who hired the young frenchman to be Empress Eugénie personal "layetier". The young Frenchman's name was Louis Vuitton and in 1854 he opened his own trunk-making firm in Paris. By 1913, the Louis Vuitton flagship on Champs-Elysées was the largerst store for travel-goods in the world!

Reviews of this property
We are very welcomed by host Francesco who holds office in the building itself. The apartment was small and a bit dingy furnishings. There was clearly smoked and it smelled stale.
We zijn heel vriendelijk ontvangen door gastheer Francesco die in het gebouw zelf kantoor houdt. Het appartement was klein en een beetje groezelig ingericht. Er was duidelijk gerookt; het rook onfris.
It is a very nice appartment. The neighbourhood though is not what we expected it to be.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The flat was very big, with lot of beds and comfortable sofas. The kitchen was ok, but the oven was broken or we didn't get how to use it. It is very close to one of the principal station.
The bad side is that you have to pay a deposit of 100 euros, that is too much, in other places we stayed we didn't have to pay it a or was less. If you don't clean the kitchen before go they keep the deposit. It add lot of stress to the trip, I really hate this!!!. In addition if you don't have that amount of money in cash, you have to pay it with the credit card, and then the money take lot of time to be available again.
Perfect host and very nice people ,ready to help .day and at night!
proper room and we were so sorry we had to leave....
15 minutes walking of the center.PERFECT!
Fair priced. Had a comfortable stay.
Our stay at this apartment was great. Clean, tidy and very neat. We really felt ourselves at home. Great experience. Thanks a lot.
We had a very enjoyable visit to Brussels staying at the Medina apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and well situated near the Brussels Midi station and a easy walk into the city centre.
Fantastic place near station and Francesco is very helpful
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

In NIJ's Research Report Digest, you will find brief descriptions of studies in a variety of criminal justice disciplines, such as criminology and forensic
sciences, and evaluations of technologies that are used in the law enforcement and corrections fields.
This issue includes reports based on NIJ-funded research that were added to the NCJRS Abstracts Database from July-September

Intersection of Genes, the Environment, and Crime and Delinquency: A Longitudinal Study of OffendingAuthor: Kevin M. Beaver
The findings show that both the environment and genes substantially contribute to the study of offending behaviors. To stay
informed on the growing body of research that shows strong genetic influences on all types of behaviors and personality traits,
criminology must make room for biosocial explanations of crime and criminality. Biosocial criminology has relevance for explaining
the age-crime curve, racial and gender gaps in delinquent and criminal involvement, and persisting criminal behavior over
long periods. This paper examines the direct, indirect, and interactive effects of five different genetic polymorphisms on
anti-social behavior.

Identifying Gendered Trajectories of Offending for a Panel of First Time Youth Offenders: Exploring the Influence of Time-Stable
CovariatesAuthor: Cynthia Weaver
Results suggest that prior maltreatment predicted moderate to higher level offending for both juvenile males and females.
Living in a blended family (mother and stepfather or father and stepmother), living with grandparents, and living with relatives
when the first offense took place all correlated with a moderate offending trajectory for boys.

Testing a Model of Domestic Abuse Against Elder Women and Perceived Barriers to Help-Seeking: Comparing Victim and Non-Victim
ResponsesAuthors: Frederick L. Newman, Laura Seff and Richard Beaulaurier
This study examined perceived barriers to help-seeking by female victims of domestic abuse ages 50 and older compared to the
perceived barriers for women in the same age group who had not been victims of such abuse. The analyses found that perceived
barriers to help-seeking involve six factors that are present in distinctive ways based on the severity of abuse, race and
ethnicity, relationship with the abuser, sex of the abuser and age. The six factors are self-blame, secrecy, abuser behaviors,
emotional gridlock (hopelessness, powerlessness, protection of family members and image), informal external responses and
formal system responses.

Responses (pdf, 119 pages).
Community-Based Violence Prevention: An Assessment of Pittsburgh's One Vision One Life Program.Authors: Jeremy M. Wilson, Steven Chermak and Edmund F. McGarrell
In 2003, Pittsburgh witnessed a 49-percent increase in homicides, prompting a "grassroots" creation and implementation of
the One Vision One Life anti-violence strategy. This initiative used a problem-solving, data-driven model, including street-level
intelligence, to intervene in intensifying disputes, and seeks to place youth in suitable social programs. This evaluation
found that following implementation of the program, the average monthly number of homicides increased in one of three target
neighborhoods. The average number of aggravated assaults and gun assaults increased in all three areas. The researchers offered
a number of theories about why the program was not as successful as similar programs elsewhere in the country. Prominent among
these is that the community outreach workers may not have focused enough of their efforts on the highest risk people. The
researchers also suggested that the community outreach workers might have had too many disparate duties, ranging from counseling
young people to attending anti-violence rallies. Consequently, they did not have opportunities to specialize in the tasks
that they were best at. This report gives an analysis of the program, which is modeled on similar efforts in Chicago and Boston.

Batterer Intervention Systems in California: An EvaluationAuthors: Dag MacLeod, Ron Pi, David Smith and Leah Rose-Goodwin
This study examined the different ways that courts and departments of probation run batterer intervention programs. It examined
a sample of more than 1,000 men who were enrolled in batterer intervention programs across five jurisdictions in California.
The researchers said they believed that the men in the programs were not representative of the larger problem of domestic
violence. They generally had low levels of education attainment, were poor, majority Hispanic, and had lengthy criminal records.
More than one-third of the men in the sample still lived with their victims. The programs incorporated multiple approaches
to working with domestic violence offenders. There was no statistical association at all between programs and an offender's
likelihood of re-offense. Offenders' rates of program completion varied, and the strongest predictors of re-offending following
intake in a program were the individual characteristics of the offenders. Men who were more educated, older, had shorter criminal
histories and did not display clear signs of drug or alcohol dependence had a lower likelihood of re-arrest.

Review of Research on Alcohol and Drug Use, Criminal Behavior, and the Criminal Justice System Response in American Indian
and Alaska Native CommunitiesAuthor: Darryl Wood
This report presents a summary and analysis of literature on substance use and alcohol- and drug-related crime in American
Indian and Alaskan Native communities. National surveys show people in these communities are more likely than the general
public to report symptoms of alcohol and drug use disorders as defined in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Alcohol and drug use among Native American youth has been the subject of much
research, most of which shows a higher lifetime prevalence compared to the general population. A much higher proportion of
crimes where American Indians and Alaska Natives were perpetrators or victims involved alcohol use than illicit drug use.

Lessons Learned in Implementing the First Four Tribal Wellness CourtsAuthor: Karen Gottlieb
The "lessons learned" presented in this paper were drawn from the experiences of the first four tribal wellness courts (drug
courts): Hualapai (Arizona), Blackfeet (Montana), Fort Peck reservation (Montana), and Poarch Creek (Alabama). Although these tribal drug courts had distinct experiences in planning and carrying out court procedures and programs, they
displayed a similar pattern of strengths and weaknesses. The first of 10 lessons discussed is to develop a strong structure
for the court team. The responsibility of the team is to integrate the members' skills and backgrounds in achieving a holistic
approach to treating court participants who have substance abuse problems. The team should consist of representatives from
across the reservation, including tribal elders and others who embody traditional tribal values. The second lesson is to use
the informed consent model for admittance to the court program, which involves selecting referral points and the use of legal
procedures that protect the individual's due-process rights. The third lesson is to assess readiness for change in potential
participants through legal and clinical screening for eligibility. A fourth lesson is to integrate culture, not religion,
into the court, which involves providing access to holistic, structured, and phased substance abuse treatment services that
incorporate culture and tradition. Other lessons discussed range from overseeing participants during times when illegal acts
are likely to occur to early outreach within the community.

Process and Outcome Evaluations of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians Drug CourtAuthor: Karen Gottlieb
This report presents the method, findings and recommendations of an evaluation of the drug court of the Poarch Band of Creek
Indians, located in southwestern Alabama near the Florida border. The outcome part of the evaluation found no statistically
significant relationship between completion status and recidivism. Graduates were as likely to be arrested again as the terminated
participants. The positive changes — increases in self-esteem and decreases in substance abuse behavior — seen in many of
the participants show that some achieved successful rehabilitation. The drug court's strengths were determined to outweigh
the weaknesses. In 2005, the program admitted 28 participants with alcohol and drug-related offenses. Fifteen of the participants
graduated, eight were terminated, and five were current participants.

Process and Outcome Evaluations of the Hualapai Wellness CourtAuthor: Karen Gottlieb
This report presents the method, findings, and recommendations of an evaluation of the Hualapai Wellness Court (HWC) of the
Hualapai Tribe in northwestern Arizona. The court provided access to holistic, phased substance-abuse treatment and rehabilitation
services for both adults and juveniles that incorporated tribal culture and tradition. The HWC worked from March 1999 through
October 2003, serving 64 adults and 36 juveniles with substance abuse problems related to their offending. The evaluation
found no statistically significant relationship between graduation from the program and later recidivism; graduates were as
likely to be arrested again for an alcohol or drug offense as participants who were terminated from the program through arrest
or noncompliance. However, graduates were slower to re-offend than terminated participants. The recidivism rate for all adults
who participated in the program was 54 percent. Most arrests were for public intoxication. The outcomes for the juvenile Wellness
Court were less clear; 75 percent of the juvenile participants had an arrest after completing the program. Unlike the adults,
there was no difference in time to recidivism between those who graduated and those who did not. There were success stories,
however. Several HWC participants commented that they "slowed down" their alcohol and drug use, and they were not arrested
as often after participating in the program. In addition, some were able to stay on a job and provide for themselves and their

Process and Outcome Evaluations of the Fort Peck Tribes Community Wellness CourtAuthor: Karen Gottlieb
This report presents the method, findings and recommendations of the evaluation of The Fort Peck Tribes Community Wellness
Court in northeastern Montana (Assimboine and the Sioux tribes). The court served from February 1998 through September 2003
as a drug court for drug-abusing juvenile tribe members, with a focus on integrating tribal cultural values and traditions
in treatment regimens. Of the first 50 participants, 15 graduated and 35 were terminated for various reasons. Forty-five of
the first 50 participants (90 percent) were arrested on criminal charges, usually disorderly conduct, after leaving the program.
There was no statistically significant relationship between completion status and recidivism; graduates were as likely to
be arrested for an alcohol or drug charge as were terminated participants. The evaluation recommends that besides offering
participants treatment, wellness courts must offer education, job training and a focus on a positive future.

Process and Outcome Evaluations of the Blackfeet Alternative CourtAuthor: Karen Gottlieb
This report presents the method, findings and recommendations of an evaluation of the Blackfeet Alternative Court. This program
of the Blackfeet Tribe of Montana provided substance-abusing tribal offenders with access to holistic, structured and phased
substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation services that incorporated tribal culture and tradition. The evaluation of the
Blackfeet Alternative Court, which operated from January 1998 to September 2000, found no statistically significant relationship
between completion status and recidivism. Graduates were just as likely to be arrested for a drug or alcohol charges after
leaving the program as were participants who were terminated from the program, fled the jurisdiction, or were in the program
when it ended. The court had a strong treatment component that included a full-time chemical dependency counselor, integrating
tribal culture into court actions during its last year, and a residential treatment center for families. The court also had
a team committed to the wellness court idea. On the other hand, a series of setbacks cumulatively undermined the court's achievement
of its objectives. The setbacks included core team changes, a judge who was not perceived as a team player, appellate decisions
critical of alternative court procedures and acceptance into the program of drug dealers who were not addicts.

New Forensics Tool: Development of an Advanced Sensor for Detecting Clandestine GravesAuthors: Arpad Vass, Cyril V. Thompson and Marc Wise
Using a specific and unique database of human decompositional odors, this project developed sensors that can find clandestine
graves. The detector was built with off-the-shelf parts and is designed to detect the major classes of chemical compounds
relevant in human decomposition. It is self-contained, portable and built for field use. The detector provides both visual
and auditory cues to the operator. The detector is called the LABRADOR, an acronym for "lightweight analyzer for buried remains
and decomposition odor recognition." Batteries, if fully charged, will last up to six hours of constant use. The cost for
a unit is about $1,000-$1,500. The database of odors that emanate from human cadavers was developed at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory with the University of Tennessee's Anthropological Research Facility, and it continues to be developed for long-term

3D-ID: Geometric Morphometric Classification of Crania for Forensic ScientistsAuthors: Dennis E. Slice and Ann Ross
This paper describes the features of the software titled 3D-ID, which is a cross-platform package that allows forensic practitioners
to use known geometric morphometrics in determining the sex and ancestry of unknown cranial remains. The practitioner provides
the program with the coordinates of a subset of anatomical points recorded from a cranium of interest. The program then extracts
a comparable set of crania of known sex and ancestral classification from a reference database of more than 1,000 people.
It tries to assign the unknown subject to one of the available classes for which there are enough references. Investigators
can then use this information and other sources in their professional assessment of the sex and ancestry of the unknown subject.
This report presents systematic procedures for program setup and system requirements.

This project developed population-specific classifications and associated software to help forensic scientists to characterize
human skulls. The project compiled a population database drawn from three-dimensional landmark coordinate data of human cranial
material that will aid in future victim identifications. It also developed a confirmed population-specific procedure for classifying
unknown individuals. In addition, it developed cross-platform software for use in forensic applications of human identification.
The project compiled a database (n=1,086) of craniofacial three-dimensional landmark coordinate data that will aid in future
victim identification. It also integrated this information into task-specific software for assigning membership probabilities
in previously defined sex and ancestral groups to unknown remains. Three-dimensional coordinates of 75 craniofacial landmarks
were collected from skeletal collections of European, African and Hispanic populations.

Applications of Molecular Genetics to Human IdentityAuthor: Meredith A. Turnbough
This paper discusses methods for extracting DNA from human skeletal remains. The project focused on developing better methods
for analyzing DNA from degraded, aged, or otherwise compromised skeletal remains. Steps for ensuring that DNA forensic technology
is used to its full potential to solve missing persons cases and identify human remains are explored. The project developed
improved methods for extracting DNA from human bones, including methods of amplifying the total pool of DNA prior to analysis
and using DNA repair enzymes to improve results.

Mass Spectral and Chromatographic Studies on a Series of Regioisomers and Isobaric Derivatives Related to MethylenedioxymethamphetaminesAuthor: Tamer A. Awad
This paper evaluates methods for identifying MDMA, a drug of abuse commonly known as Ecstasy. It examines ways forensic laboratories
can accurately distinguish the drug from other drugs that have a similar molecular makeup. In the United States, continued
designer drug exploration in clandestine laboratories led to legislation (the Controlled Substances Analog Act) to upgrade
the penalties associated with use of all compounds of a series. Thus, identification of MDMA and similar drugs is essential,
and a significant task for forensic laboratories that are involved in prosecuting these cases.

Multi-Method Evaluation of Police Use of Force Outcomes: Final Report to the National Institute of JusticeAuthors: Michael R. Smith, Robert J. Kaminski, Geoffrey P. Alpert, Lorie A. Fridell, John MacDonald and Bruce Kubu
This study focused on identifying factors related to injuries to police officers and citizens during use-of-force events.
Findings show that the use of physical force and hands-on control increase the risk of injury to officers and citizens. Increasing
levels of suspect resistance were associated with an increased risk of injury to both officers and suspects. The multiagency
analysis showed that the use of pepper spray by officers reduced the probability of injury to suspects by 70 percent, but
increased the probability of injury to officers by 21 to 39 percent. Conducted energy devices (CEDs), such as Tasers, significantly
reduced the probability of officer and suspect injuries, after controlling for other types of force and resistance. Apart
from officer force and suspect resistance, few other factors correlated with injury outcomes. In the multiagency models, male
suspects were twice as likely as females to be injured in a use-of-force event. The presence of a male suspect slightly increased
the risk of injury to officers compared to female suspects. In Seattle, Wash., where officer gender was available for inclusion
in the models, female officers were more than twice as likely as male officers to be injured in use-of-force events. The study
used a nationally representative survey of U.S. law enforcement agencies to provide an overview of how less-lethal force technologies,
training and policies are linked to use-of-force events. Data from three agencies were analyzed separately to identify predictors
of injuries to officers and citizens during use-of-force events. Use-of-force records from 12 police agencies were combined
and analyzed, and a longitudinal analysis was conducted to discover how CED use by two police departments affected injury

Tracking Inmates and Locating Staff with Active Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID): Early Lessons Learned in One U.S. Correctional
FacilityAuthors: Laura J. Hickman, Lois M. Davis, Edward Wells and Mel Eisman
This report presents early lessons learned from the field, drawn from the experiences of a corrections institution that used
active radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. This research had two primary goals. The first was to identify and
describe all U.S. correctional institutions that have bought or installed active RFID systems. The second was to provide an
objective source of information about the advantages and the challenges of using RFID in correctional settings. In recent
years, RFID, a tool used to track inmates and pinpoint the location of staff in duress situations, has been offered to jurisdictions
to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of correctional management. This technology consists of a device (or "tag") that
emits radio wave signals within a network of sensors, receivers and monitors that record and display the tag's unique identity
and location. This information can then be displayed on computer monitors and prompt alerts if one of any number of preprogrammed
conditions is triggered. The location information is archived so it can be played back later for use in post-incident investigations.

Evaluation of the Ridge House Residential Program: Final ReportAuthors: Janeen Buck Willison, Caterina Gouvis Roman, Ashley Wolff, Vanessa Correa and Carly R. Knight
Findings from this study show that participation in the Ridge House Residential Program, a spiritually based, short-term transitional
housing program in Reno, Nev., did not have a statistically significant impact on re-arrest. Program completion, however,
was associated with a 16-percent decrease in the probability of re-arrest. The study also found that offenders who completed
the program had a lower incidence of property and person crimes. The main goal of the study was to discover the effectiveness
of the Ridge House program in reducing recidivism. Impact analyses compared recidivism outcomes for Ridge House participants
against a comparison group of parolees who were accepted into the program, but did not attend. The study examined recidivism
rates for a sample of 617 parolees (156 program participants and 461 comparison cases) affiliated with the Ridge House Residential

text: those are some pretty cool numbers and stats and puts it in perspective because I didn't realize how impressive they were. However it's unfair to compare his numbers to others especially guys who started there careers years before his. The NFL has changed so much and passing is so much easier so recieving stats will be slightly inflated. I'm not bashing Cruz cuz I love him and hope we keep him long term and I'm sure we will but it's hard to compare some of those numbers. If anything it will make resigning him harder lol

The Driver series made me want to play this. Thinking I could probably do more especially since it was out in PS2, the next level in gaming in comparison to the others that were only on PS. But I trajically came to the conclusion that this game let me down with cool graphics but terrible animation in gameplay. To me, there was no style or uniquness in how the world operated in Driv3r. When your player died, you didn't really feel sorry for him. Who could blame you? It looked as if he just tipped over. And even if he died by getting ran over he looked like he had performed "Light as a feather, stiff as a board". Bored is a word to describe the passion I had for this.
The storyline was acceptable. There was coruption, panic, you know the usual plot in a fighting free roam game. It didn't really change so much in originality though. I mean it was predictable in the outcome of every situation which also made me "Stiff as a bored".
I don't know really what else to say about this game. Just look at the review for Driver 2 and the features are the same, except swimming.

julysun - excellant article. There is a lot to absorb there but certainly good info. as you will note below, I may be looking at acquiring one of Glenn's queens next year.
To the rest of you following this discussion - someone suggested I needed to do a mite count on the drone larvae. Well, I've just returned from the beeyard. I uncapped drone brood and had a look. Bingo, lots of mites, tons of mites. So now I'm challenged to stick to my guns. I swore I would not treat the two nucs of survivor bees I purchased. Its going to be a hard thing to standby and watch, but I am committed to that. It's interesting to note the other survivor nuc I bot has very few mites. I hope it survives. I would like to learn how to do a split or even raise some queens from it if it makes its to next spring. Ourside of the mite count, both hives look healthy. Good brood patterns, nice cresent shape of honey around them and lots of pollen stored. Considering I only acquired them in June, there is actually a lot of honey stored in the second super of each hive so both appear healthy - BUT the one hive has a ton of mites. Could be a sad thing to watch but I'm not going to treat. It's just not the way to go. I'm beginning to think I might requeen my other two hives from non-survivor stock, with queens from Glenns Apiaries noted in the article by julysun.

I bought a set of armor from FullMetalFett a while back and just about finished it. The cod and butt still need to be finished (painting) but the chest is about done. Since this is 1/8" aluminum, and came without dents, I couldn't get it exactly like the fiberglass stuff, but it is so cool when someone comes and knocks on your chest armor and you get that 'ding'. You always get a double take from the knocker!
This is my first set of armor, so in all truth, I should have started with something a little easier to work with, but the best part about metal armor is that all I have to do is add some stripper to the stuff and start over, (beleive me it comes in handy when you are learning!)
I don't know if FMF still makes the stuff, but he is an artist with metal. The curves and bends are perfect! Truly a great find! Oh, and in case you are wondering, because it is aluminum, it is lightweight and doesn't cause any problems like you may be thinking metal armor would cause.

The University of Colorado Boulder has been ranked No. 14 in the world on the scholarly impact of its journal publications, according to an analysis by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
The Leiden Ranking analyzed the 500 universities with the largest number of publications recorded in Web of Science, a database of articles published in more than 12,000 journals that is maintained by Thomson Reuters.
The impact of each university's publications was measured based on how frequently the publications were cited compared with other studies published in the same field and in the same year.
"This ranking illustrates that our faculty are engaged in scientific research and studies that are being paid attention to," said CU-Boulder Vice Chancellor for Research Stein Sture. "This demonstrates the impact of the research taking place at CU-Boulder."
CU-Boulder's No. 14 ranking is based on publications between 2008 and 2011. In the previous Leiden Ranking, which covered publications between 2005 and 2009, CU-Boulder was ranked No. 24.
For the purpose of the ranking, publications with authors from multiple institutions were awarded fractionally to each university. Using this system, CU-Boulder was credited with 4,701 publications in the most recent ranking. Of those, 18 percent were among the top 10 percent of most-cited publications in their field.
The top-ranked university in the 2013 Leiden Ranking was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which had 8,988 publications, 25 percent of which were in the top 10 percent of their field. Second through fifth places in the ranking went to the University of California, Santa Barbara; Stanford; Princeton; and Harvard, respectively.
