OSOK-IP Unit
Training as a team makes a team stronger.
Training as a team makes a team stronger. Military culture is founded on the concept of working as a team. OSOK is founded on the concept of training as a team. It was created for deployed military with the intention of transferring ownership of the program to respective units through a train-the-trainers course. In order for a military unit to pursue OSOK's original training program, it must first select and prepare a trainer or trainers for the rest of the group.
The trainers need to be the brain-and-nerve centers of a unit's OSOK training program. He or she will first take a course in OSOK like the one presented here, which provides background information not necessarily needed (or wanted) by all line members. However, thorough understanding of the background, intent, and development of OSOK is necessary for a trainer to deliver—and customize—the training materials effectively. The trainer is also responsible for revisiting the HPRC website regularly to collect and incorporate new and improved information and procedures and then provide the rest of the unit with refresher courses.
How do you decide who in your unit should be your trainer? Your team should select your best performer—an elite warrior, i.e., the Gold Medalists—someone who would receive the highest scores in the self-assessment step described in "OSOK Solo." (If you have not yet visited that section of the OSOK web pages, we recommend you do so before delving further into the trainer-targeted information.)
HPRC provides here the concepts and materials that enable a unit's trainer(s) to customize the OSOK program and make it uniquely suitable for his or her own unit's culture—not only the particular branch of the Uniformed Services, but the particular combat unit and deployed environment. What's more, the trainer can make use of any other information provided on the HPRC website to bolster the OSOK materials to meet the needs of the unit.
The trainer then uses these customized materials initially in a seminar format (usually two days, but depends on line conditions) designed to fit into the unit's down time, when everyone who wishes to participate can do so together. Essentially, OSOK is implemented for the Warfighter by the Warfighter.
Becoming an OSOK Trainer
Ideally, anyone who wishes to become an OSOK-IP Unit should attend the basic two-day seminar that they will be customizing and delivering to their own military team. If this is not possible, you should go through the OSOK Solo process prior to going any further. Once you have basic exposure to OSOK training, the additional information provided here for trainers-in-training will make sense.
The One Shot One Kill program is administered through a delivery system created specifically for OSOK—called OSOK-IP ("One Shot One Kill Integrative Program"). OSOK-IP is a culturally sensitive delivery system that can be customized to the unique framework of the warrior and his/her unit—a system that builds on and strengthens the cultural values and ideals unique to the warrior elitist to enhance individual performance and resiliency and improve mission effectiveness. OSOK-IP is a system created for the warrior elitist—by the warrior elitist. It is a unique delivery system that addresses the whole warrior and helps him/her reach and maintain his/her optimal level of performance. An overview of the OSOK-IP delivery system with integrative and relevant Warfighter examples able to be instantly applied on the line will be available soon to download. Please check back.
OSOK is designed to be sensitive towards warrior cultural values, practices, and traditions. If OSOK training is to succeed, an OSOK trainer must have been immersed in the culture of the military unit and must be able to adapt and customize the training materials that are provided here to suit their particular military unit's unique needs.
Development of OSOK
The One Shot One Kill program was created "for Warfighters by Warfighters." Almost all of the language and concepts used in the two-day OSOK seminar were built through feedback provided by Warfighters from a variety of Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) during the program's pilot phase. As a result, a performance-focused program was born: "One Shot One Kill."
The OSOK system was created to enhance warrior capabilities and keep Warfighters at the tip of the spear. Originally created by warriors on the line in Iraq during 2007, and refined by warriors in Afghanistan during 2010, OSOK has blossomed into a holistic (i.e., total fitness) platform to address the needs of the complete warrior.
The OSOK Platform
OSOK enables Warfighters to achieve enhanced performance and resilience by mastering a number of life systems. These systems, which might seem to function independently, actually depend on one another. To address them individually would result in minimal gains.
Mastery of each life system requires a broad range of psychological and physiological skills, many of which Warfighters already possess—learned through basic training and experience in theater. Warfighters will be guided in the use of these skills to increase their mastery in each life system. The interdependent life systems that make up the performance package include:
Controlled Response
Mind Tactics
Performance-Based Nutrition
Primal Fitness
OSOK is also built on certain Key Assumptions:
Properly trained Warfighters who utilize their skills in broader life situations can improve their performance and become resilient. Warfighter training is in fact generalizable to other life circumstances.
Combat skills and activities are, in fact, athletic in nature. Warfighters can be observed training like world-class athletes. They fill our gyms, utilize supplements to boost recovery from intense workouts, and discuss everything with their trusted comrades—from the next day's mission to the status of their marriage. Warfighters prepare and plan their activities much like an athlete prepares for their next event.
Characteristics of OSOK-IP
OSOK-IP has unique characteristics that include:
- Immersion of the program developer into the target population culture to facilitate acquisition of learning and establish credibility prior to platform refinement
- Sensitivity and respect towards warrior cultural values, practices, and traditions
- Involving population, to include commanders, in the creation of a product that addresses their specific units and missions
- Acknowledging that warriors already possess skill sets acquired through athletics and military training, which enable them to be resilient, but may lack the knowledge of their generalizability
- Strength-based focus due to cultural interpretations of weakness, failure, and shame
- Integrating and adapting of services to fit the cultural framework
- Group orientation and importance of building on cohesion and esprit de corps
- Use of language/vehicles consistent with culture (e.g. fitness, combatives, combat, shooting, etc.)
- Feedback of focus and pilot groups incorporated into curriculum to allow program evolution and effective authors to be "by the warrior…for the warrior"
- Targeting pre-existing skills acquired through athletics, combat, and specialized training
- Focusing on injury prevention to maintain optimal level of performance
- Interactive and entertaining format to capture the attention of a younger audience
Empowering target population to execute initiative by "taking care of their own" through shifting of traditional roles of participants (i.e., driven by line vs. driven by the medical community)
Key Features of OSOK-IP
The following are some Key Features of OSOK-IP:
- Line Driven: OSOK is a line-driven delivery system where traditional roles associated with helping agencies and line members have been exchanged. OSOK was created by and managed by warriors on the battlefront, with peripheral agencies (Mental Health, Nutritionists, Chaplain, Medical, etc.) providing consultative services by request and related to module content.
- Experiential: An important aspect of its delivery rests on members learning through experience. For instance: the necessity for performance-based nutrition becomes apparent as students engage in their normal dietary regimen prior to the Primal Fitness session. Warriors quickly learn through experience what meal plan best sustains the energy levels needed to survive the anaerobic load of combat.
- Holistic: Students are educated on OSOK's interdependent format and its relationship to optimal performance and resilience—a concept reinforced through its experiential design and self-assessment tools. Its various modules are designed to be an "interdependent and synergistic package" and should not be separated; doing so would compromise its integrity.
- Generalizable: OSOK targets pre-existing skill sets acquired through participation in sports, athletics, and combat training. OSOK assists warriors in generalizing these skill sets to enhance job performance in garrison, augment combat effectiveness, reduce the impact of the combat environment on the warrior, and ultimately achieve their personal and professional goals in life.
- Challenging: For instance, the two-day training format of OSOK conducted in Iraq and Afghanistan incorporated functional fitness and stress-shoot exercises where students utilized learned strategies in practical environments. Each session was designed to mirror the rigors and demands of the combat environment. At each event, students utilized generalized skill sets to demonstrate their potential and ability to move beyond preconceived limits.
- Identification and Cultural Sensitivity: A unique identify is an important aspect of being a warrior; it separates them from the general service population. This identity is forged through their advanced training and collective practices. Although the underlying concepts of OSOK can be applied to the general service population, OSOK was tailored for specific units with content and references designed to be in-line with their unique culture and identity.
- Audience Specific: Module content was tailored to attract and gain acceptance from a target audience (e.g. 18-26 y/o, infantry, male, single) through the specific marketing strategies to include focus groups.
- Science-Based: Module content, although driven by the line, is based on the most up-to-date, peer-reviewed scientific information.
Mastery and Harmony
During basic training all warriors go through basic marksmanship courses—weapons familiarization, course orientation, and learning—many of the fundamentals before going out and firing. Some of these fundamentals include breathing, muscle control, focus, concentration, etc. For beginning shooters, sending the first round down range can be an awkward moment; but most improve with practice. Making a perfect shot, however, does not come from mastering one , two, or even three of these skill sets, but uniting all skills to a high level of mastery. This is what separates the "good" shooters from the "great" shooters. Great shooters have achieved a level of mastery and unity of each of these skill sets—they are aware of their interdependence….
Mastery of this system not only enhances a warrior's PERFORMANCE across a wide range of competencies vital to combat, but also increases his/her RESILIENCE against illness and trauma by providing a protective barrier. Because of the interdependent format of OSOK-IP, a lack of mastery or degrading of any life systems will affect neighboring systems and compromise the entire network. The results would be a decline in performance followed by a vulnerability to illness or trauma.
How To Deliver OSOK
The step-by-step OSOK-IP Toolkit was created to help Warfighters on the line establish a culture of enhanced performance and resiliency within their own units. OSOK-IP provides an arsenal of evidence-based strategies as part of a holistic package that can easily be customized to fit the unique cultural framework of each unit and its members. Downloadable materials will be made available. Please check back soon.
- Length. A two-day format allows students the opportunity to be temporarily removed from their duties long enough to digest information presented, but still be able to have ample time to return to their unit and re-engage in their mission.
- Voluntary Attendance. Attendance is voluntary and attempts to separate OSOK from "check-in-the-box" programs designed to provide mandatory training to Warfighters.
- Tailored Format. As mentioned above, the OSOK program is not a "check-in-the-box" or "packaged" program; rather, it is the result of feedback and knowledge acquired from Warfighters and service members currently serving in Iraq. Although, the current version was created specifically for the Army and its soldiers, particularly those in combat roles, because of its fundamental properties it can be adopted by other military organizations with minor modifications to its module contents. Future efforts will focus on creating OSOK programs specifically for other branch services.
- Small Class Size. Small class sizes averaging 20-25 offer Warfighters an opportunity to learn from and teach one another through interaction and dialogue. In addition, the small size is less intimidating, and students are more willing to share their expertise and also admit their challenges.
- Location. OSOK was created to be a forward-driven program delivered at unit locations and out-of-the-clinic settings. Host units will ensure that selected locations are conducive to program format (e.g., audio, video, computer, projector, etc.) to include a large enough room to comfortably fit 20 – 25 Warfighters.
- Interactive Format. Interactive format allows Warfighters to engage module contents using personal examples. The instructor assists Warfighters in the processing of information and acts as a facilitator for discussions among Warfighters.
- Guided Instruction. Guided instruction and hands-on training is provided in the Controlled Response and Mind Tactics modules. Warfighters increase their awareness of psychological/physiological states and engage in controlled breathing and muscle tense-and-release exercises.
- Graphics, Animation, and Videos. The use of graphics, animation, and videos rather than traditional PowerPoint bullet format provides entertainment value and assists in the delivery of sometimes difficult-to-understand concepts related to lectures.
- Self-Assessment. Self-assessment tools follow the completion of each module and at the end of the seminar. The purpose of these tools is to increase the Warfighter's awareness of those weakened systems in the performance package that may be contributing to a decrease in performance and resilience. The Warfighters will rate themselves individually on a scale from 0 (non-mastery) to 10 (mastery) and review the performance package diagram to identify areas to focus their resources.
- Unit Involvement. Unit participation and support play a very important part in the program. A prerequisite for Warfighter attendance is that their command staff receive an introductory presentation outlining the OSOK program. The purpose of this orientation is to educate command staff of the nature and content of the program and to solicit feedback as to the appropriateness of the content related to their unit mission and personnel. Because of the nature of the OSOK program, lecture content and delivery can be modified to relate to unit characteristics.
- Critique and Feedback. At the completion of the seminar Warfighters are asked to complete an evaluation and feedback form. This offers the Warfighter an opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations regarding program content and delivery.
- Future Follow-up. Future programming will assess participants in the short term (within six months) and the long term (one year) to assess the impact of OSOK programming and skill relevance.
Program Materials
OSOK-IP components are designed be an "interdependent and synergistic package" and should not be separated; doing so compromises the integrity of the program. The module content provided here as an example was derived from one designed for the "Sky Soldier" – however, all module content can be tailored for each Warfighter unit's unique needs. The Course Introduction PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation, including additional images, that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the slide show.
10 Rules of Engagement
The 10 Rules of Engagement (ROEs) were created to assist the warrior athlete in his or her quest to reach the optimal level of performance. It is very important for warriors to first review these ROEs as they develop and implement their own plan to ensure lasting success. The rules listed here are explained in full in the complete ROEs.
Rule #1: "Figure out where you're at before you start"
Rule #2: "Don't let your environment control you…take ownership"
Rule #3: "If it doesn't work, stop doing it"
Rule #4: "Start small, go slowly, and be patient"
Rule #5: "Practice, practice, practice"
Rule #6: "Set up an environment that supports your new plan"
Rule #7: "Bring in the experts and educate yourself"
Rule #8: "Don't get caught off guard…have a game plan"
Rule #9: "Write it down and review it daily"
Rule #10: "Be vigilant. Once you got it, don't lose it"
The Modules
OSOK training is organized in Seven Modules, plus an additional Marksmanship module, an example that uses the integrative principles from the Seven Modules. PowerPoint presentations are available here for each of these; all of them can be customized, as noted above.
- Controlled Response Module: assists Warfighters in modulating their body's fight/flight response system, enabling them to maximize their internal resources when needed to accomplish greater physical feats. A variety of mind/body strategies are introduced and practiced. The CR module PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
- Mind Tactics Module: Warfighters examine the power of the mind through mental strategies. Skills used by professional athletes and the warrior elite are taught, enabling soldiers to reach their optimal level of performance on and off the battlefield. The Mind Tactics PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
- Performance Based Nutrition Module: examines the nutritional needs of the Warfighter in combat. In collaboration with USUHS, information provided assists attendees in maintaining a high level of performance through nutrition plans used by elite military units and athletes. The Nutrition PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
- Primal Fitness Module: teaches Warfighters how to maintain their optimal fitness level in and out of the combat environment. Inspired by high-intensity fitness principles, specific emphasis is placed on the importance of functional fitness, accomplished without the need of facilities, and the role of fitness in injury prevention. The PF module is split into two basic presentations: The first section is on the relationship between Primal Fitness & PB Nutrition, with both PowerPoint and PDF versions available for download. The second section, Primal Fitness, is available in three PowerPoint files (due to its size) and a single PDF for download. Click (1) here to download the first PowerPoint, (2) here for the second, and (3) here for the third.
- Purpose Module: reminds Warfighters of the external factors that they can draw strength from in difficult times (e.g., core values, spirituality, country, fellow Warfighters, etc.). Encouraging a commitment to something greater than themselves in the face of adversity, the Purpose module is envisioned as a primer of courage that will enable Warfighters to perform heroic feats in the face of overwhelming odds. The Purpose PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
- The Code Module: reminds warriors "who we are" by examining their value-based system and supporting their cultural framework. The Code is a system that lays the foundation for their unique way of life and acts as a compass to guide morality, ethics, and everyday decision-making. A system can only exist through and within the support of its cultural framework. As a result, the importance and maintenance of the warrior cultural framework are emphasized. Concepts of Bushido and the Samurai Warrior and concepts borrowed from the Spartans complement existing material. This module is currently under development. Once it is revised, we will make it available to you.
- Recharge Module: targets disrupted sleep patterns associated with the combat environment and increased operations tempo. Focus is on empowering Warfighters to improve sleep patterns through education and alteration of common disruptive behaviors while emphasizing healthy habits and avoiding the use of medication. The Recharge PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
- Fundamental Marksmanship Skills: Warfighters possess fundamental marksmanship skills learned in boot camp that, when generalized, can be used effectively to enhance their performance and resilience in many other parts of their lives. These skills can assist them in reaching their personal and professional goals, while testing their ability to integrate the Seven Modules. The Range Session PowerPoint presentation is available for download, as is a PDF of the slides with presentation notes. However, the slides include animation that cannot be translated to PDF, so we encourage you to view the PowerPoint slide show initially.
Module Mastery Assessment (MMA) "Get it in the black"
OSOK-IP includes a targeting system that enables Warfighters to track and monitor their level of performance. Following the completion of each module, you will ask your students to answer a number of questions and plot their "shots" on the corresponding module target sheet. After they complete all of the module target sheets, their shot groups can be analyzed and their current levels of performance will be assessed. This will give them an idea of which shot (i.e., module/life system) they need to focus on first. This shot score will act as a compass at any time for keeping them at the peak level of performance: it will pinpoint systems that become compromised and need attention. Click here for the downloadable Module Mastery Assessment PDF document.
Handbook and Evaluations
Students should use the OSOK Handbook [click here for the downloadable Handbook] to follow along in the program as well as self-assess consistently. The purpose of these tools is to increase Warfighters' awareness of their areas of strength and those areas that need some focused attention in order to optimize performance. As all elite performers know, self evaluation is crucial to any performance program, so the module and course target sheets (Module Mastery Assessments) mentioned above should be used repeatedly for re-assessment as students revisit the modules to track their progress. Additional forms can be obtained by downloading the MMA PDF file linked above.
At the completion of the seminar, Warfighters are asked to complete an evaluation and feedback form. This offers the Warfighter an opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations regarding program content and delivery. The course and module evaluation forms are provided in PDF form and can be downloaded here.

Law school spearheads effort to assist artists
The University of South Carolina School of Law has partnered with area arts organizations to give them and the low-income artists they represent a new resource for legal assistance.
The South Carolina Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts will offer an online service that provides pro-bono assistance to the arts community.
This new resource is available at SCvolunteerlawyersforthearts.org.
The SCVLA is a project of the school's Pro Bono Program and Nonprofit Organizations Clinic, as well as the SC Arts Commission and the SC Bar Pro Bono Program. It refers those needing legal assistance to lawyers who have agreed to donate their time.
"This collaboration has been in the works for many years," said Ken May, executive director at the SC Arts Commission. "We're proud to see that it has come to fruition and is now providing the South Carolina arts community with this valuable service."
"This is a wonderful opportunity for the law school to expand its relationship with the communities surrounding it," said Walter F. Pratt Jr., dean of the School of Law. "Building on our nationally known Pro Bono Program, this new venture will allow even more students to learn the value of service to their community while, at the same time, acquiring skills that will make them better lawyers in the future."
The service uses an online application system to gather facts from artists and arts organizations to match them with appropriate legal representation. SCVLA, cannot assign an attorney to a specific client, nor can it assist all clients. Some clients may be referred to an attorney outside the program.
Artists and arts organizations seeking legal advice or lawyers interested in volunteering their service can visit SCvolunteerlawyersforthearts.org to complete an online application.

As head of the Bixby Knolls Business Improvement Association, Blair Cohn often gets feedback from merchants - both positive and negative - about their experience of opening or expanding their businesses with the city of Long Beach.
It wasn't until after he and other heads of business organizations throughout Long Beach began meeting regularly that they realized the issues expressed to them by the business owners they each represent, such as a cumbersome permitting process, weren't all that dissimilar.
"Month after month at the COBA (Council of Business Associations) meetings, we all saw the same thing," Cohn said. "These are things happening not just in Bixby or on Fourth Street or downtown. It's citywide. And if that's the case, then why not bring it forward and bring it to a better place? We want the city to truly be responsive and business-friendly."
So the business associations in Long Beach decided to conduct a citywide, online-based customer service survey that polls business owners' experience with the city's licensing, permitting and inspection processes.
The survey isn't intended to be "a witch hunt or to initiate a blame game," said Kraig Kojian, president and CEO of the Downtown Long Beach Associates.
"The survey is intended to provide an objective, anonymous accounting of experiences of working through City Hall so that business advocates can identify opportunities for policy and procedural improvements," Kojian said in a written statement.
For the past several months, the business improvement districts and business alliances in COBA, including the Belmont Shore, East Anaheim, Naples, Cambodia Town, East Spring Street, Andy Street and Broadway corridors, have been encouraging merchants to take part in the survey.
They've gotten more than 300 responses, but the group is pushing for 500 business owners.
Once it hits that goal, a consultant will generate a report, which will be taken to City Manager Pat West for discussion.
"The survey is just to say, `Hey guys, this is what is being talked about out there,"' Cohn said. "We've brought up issues before and it's no secret to the city manager, and they want to know what's going on."
Feedback to the city is critical, especially in still difficult economic times, Cohn said.
"Even in a tough economy we want to make sure that people are not running to Signal Hill or Lakewood," he said. "We're just doing what we can as a group to bring it forward and work with the city."
Visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/cobasurvey to take the survey.

Susac homers; calls overturned in AFL11/07/2013 1:17 AM ET
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com
One hope when teams send hitting prospects to the Arizona Fall League is that the exposure to sharper competition, new teammates and a different group of coaches will help those players make adjustments that unlock their talents.
In that regard, things couldn't be going better for Giants No. 15 prospect Andrew Susac.
Having made a tweak to help his hands bring the bat into the hitting zone more quickly, the catcher has exploded in the AFL. He continued that tear for Scottsdale on Wednesday night, going 2-for-3 with a homer, two walks and three RBIs in a 7-4 victory over Salt River.
"My swing has been feeling good down here," Susac said. "There [was] a little adjustment with my hands. I've had a little bit of luck and I've been getting in good counts."
Susac's two-run blast capped a five-run second inning that gave the Scorpions a 6-0 lead. The backstop had opened the scoring with a single in the first. He also walked in the fourth and sixth.
The performance lifted Susac's Fall League batting average to .361 and his OPS to 1.057. He has a pair of homers and seven RBIs in 36 at-bats.
The 23-year-old Oregon State product has made slow progress as a professional since San Francisco selected him in the second round of the 2011 Draft. He posted a .731 OPS in the California League in 2012 but improved that mark to .820 with Double-A Richmond this season.
"Pro ball was a big adjustment for me, going straight to [Class A Advanced]," he said. "Managing the game, little things here and there that I'm starting to get a grip on. I have a lot of responsibility laid on me behind the plate. There's no way I'm close to where I want to be yet, but I'm getting closer."
That includes the adjustment with his hands this fall, a move Susac hopes he can parlay into continued success in 2014.
"I've been working hard," he said. "I've always been a pretty hard worker. It's been a process, to say the least, but it's starting to come together for me."
Scottsdale's five-run second was sparked by a leadoff triple by Braves No. 12 prospect Kyle Kubitza, who scored on a single by fellow Atlanta farmhand Elmer Reyes. Two batters later, Giants prospect Jarrett Parker plated a pair of runs with a triple, trotting home on Susac's two-run jack to right-center field.
The game featured seven umpire reviews, including three reversals -- two of which occurred in the top of the first. On the first reversal, Rays prospect Ryan Brett was ruled safe on a steal attempt of second base after initially being called out.
Later in the frame, the umpires took a Salt River run off the board, ruling that Cardinals No. 10 prospect James Ramsey was out on a grounder to first after he was initially called safe. Blue Jays prospect Kenny Wilson scored on the play but was sent back to third base following the review.
The other overturned play occurred in the bottom of the fifth and resulted in a double play, with Pirates No. 3 prospect Alen Hanson flying out to center and Kubitza being doubled off at second.
The umpire's decision was upheld in the other reviews, including a double challenge in the bottom of the second when replay confirmed that Kubitza touched second base and beat the tag at third on his triple.
Susac thought the replay system worked effectively.
"I was talking with the home plate umpire," he said, "and he said the main purpose is to get the call right in the end. We might have to sacrifice a little time of play, but you want to get the play right. That is the main goal."
Hanson finished 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, two runs scored and an RBI for Scottsdale.
For the Rafters, D-backs No. 11 prospect Jake Lamb was 2-for-4 with a two-run homer.

New Bexar Jail Administrator is On The Job
Bexar County's new professional County Jail Adminsitrator is on the job, and Raul Banasco says he is aware of the unique challenges of running an urban county jail.
"This is where society often doesn't greet you with a smile at the front door," he said.
Banasco will succeed a series of professional law enforcement officers who have been handed jail duty. He is a career jail operator, with experience in public and privately run facilities, and as a criminal justice consultant.
Sheriff Susan Pamerleau says she has high hopes for Banasco, who takes over a jail which has just received full state accreditation, but has wrestled with low staffing levels, turnover, overcrowding, and some outside problems faced by jail guards, including recent arrests for drunk driving and other crimes.
Banasco says old ideas about what the role of an urban county jail is have to change.
"The philosophy of locking up individuals who have encountered the criminal justice center is not the most viable and not the most economic way to go," he said.
Banasco says his goal is to reduce the number of people in the jail, by dealing with alternatives, including mental health counseling.
He says he also hopes to work closely with corrections officers to raise their morale and help make them proud of their work in the jail, protecting society while changing lives.

When we read about an artist who's creating life-size sculptures of man's best friend out of repurposed bicycle parts, we decided pretty immediately that it was something we had to share with the world. Here's how the magic happens:
The artist is a talented woman named Nirit Levav Packer, who collects bike parts from bike shops around Tel Aviv. Then, she solders bike parts that she collects from garages and bike shops all over Tel Aviv. According to The Telegraph article:
"The series, called HOW!WoW!, began by chance when Nirit examined some bicycle parts being thrown away at her son's bike store, and instead of seeing them as rubbish she saw a potential to do something creative with them. Within a few months, she had left a successful career in wedding dress design for metal sculpture."
Watch this video to understand how the Dachshund sculpture, "Sit," came to be. Check out more of the dog artwork here and on Nirit Levav Parker's website.

text: "Golden Compasses as Moral Compasses: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Fairy Tales and Fantasy" is a four-week school teacher seminar for sixteen participants on fantasy and fairy tales and their impact on the development of imagination and moral sense in children. The project director observes that, since John Newbery established the first press for children's books in the eighteenth century, print culture for children has flourished. The seminar engages teachers in the analysis of imaginative literature for children alongside secondary sources by "historians, psychologists, and literary critics on the genesis, dissemination, and meaning" of works including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, classic fairy tales, A Thousand and One Nights, and recent works by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass) and J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). The sequencing of texts is chronological and also ranges purposefully through elements such as genre and gender (week one focusing on fairy tales with girls as protagonists, followed by boys in week two). At Harvard's Houghton Library teachers examine illustrated fairy tale anthologies from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Teachers participate in seminar discussions and small group work; movies related to the readings (Finding Neverland, for example) are also shown. Director Maria Tatar (Germanic Languages and Literature, Harvard University) is joined by visiting scholars Jerry Griswold (San Diego State University) and Donald Haase (Wayne State University). Participation by teachers in grades K-8 and graduate students focusing on early education is particularly encouraged.

Nyden October 20, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Republican Party candidates and organizations have been running media ads criticizing Sen. Joe Manchin and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, arguing that the Democrats promote policies that hurt the coal industry and kill jobs throughout the state's economy.Seth Wimer, who is managing Bill Maloney's gubernatorial campaign, said, "We have fewer people working than any other state in the nation, and we have lost over 3,000 coal mining jobs in the last 10 months because of Earl Ray Tomblin's policies, like West Virginia cap-and-trade."While Earl Ray's support comes from the lobbyists and politicians who depend on him for insider deals, Bill Maloney earned the support of thousands of West Virginia coal miners who know he will help them get back to work," Wimer told the Gazette-Mail.In this year's election campaigns, though, Tomblin and Manchin both have been endorsed by business and labor groups, including the state Chamber of Commerce, West Virginia AFL-CIO, the West Virginia Coal Association and the United Mine Workers union.Larry Puccio, chairman of the West Virginia Democratic Party, said, "I would like to say that I am not surprised, but that I am truly shocked that the Raese-Maloney team believes they can spend millions of dollars trying to discredit the state Chamber of Commerce, the West Virginia AFL-CIO, our coal miners in the UMWA, and the people who invest in coal mining jobs -- the West Virginia Coal Association."These groups are real West Virginians who have endorsed and totally support Senator Joe Manchin and Governor Earl Ray Tomblin," Puccio said. "I believe these groups deserve to be heard from after being attacked by the Raese-Maloney team."Conrad Lucas, chairman of the West Virginia Republican Party, said that, "after 80 years of complete control in the state Legislature, failed Democratic policies have made West Virginia the second-poorest state in the nation. "They have us ranked 51st in overall education performance, 49th in private-sector job growth, 48th in per-capita income," Lucas said. "And West Virginia ranks dead last in percent of its work force that is actually employed."I don't know how you can look at that track record and call it anything but an utter failure. Earl Ray has been in state government for almost half of that 80 years, so that's plenty of time to prove that he is simply incapable of figuring out how to remedy this travesty."Joshua Sowards, Raese's campaign communications director, said, "The AFL-CIO, an explicit campaign arm of President Obama's Democrat Party, abandoned West Virginia workers years ago."At the Chamber of Commerce, Coal Association, and the UMWA union, it's a question of really pathetic leadership. These are nothing more than compliance groups. They teach people how to get along with the current system of government." The number of West Virginia coal mines dropped from 264 to 174 between 2008 and May 2012, Sowards added, while as many as 10 power plants have shut down in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland and West Virginia."The real question is why these special-interest groups and unions are supporting politicians who are incapable of creating jobs or defending the coal industry," Sowards said. "In the private sector, our eyes are wide open, but these civic and union organizations choose not to see."Puccio said "the Raese-Maloney team" believes its out-of-state big money can "come in here and take on the Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the Coal Association and the UMW."But tell us why the Chamber and the AFL-CIO are not good for West Virginia," Puccio said. Lucas said, "A grand tragedy for West Virginia is that so many of our elected leaders choose to sell their souls to Washington liberals like Barack Obama, to the detriment of our energy jobs and working families."A worse tragedy is when leaders here in this state are fooled by those who say one thing to their faces and then govern as Obama or Nancy Pelosi would."Rank-and-file workers, union and non-union, know who will truly protect them from the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency], cap-and-trade and 'Obamacare.' In order to stop the federal government from burying West Virginia, voters here know they have no other choice to run our nation and state but Mitt Romney, John Raese and Bill Maloney."Manchin said he felt "pleased and honored" by the endorsements from business and labor groups."That they endorsed and support us speaks volumes," he said. "That is surely not against their best interest."It is not that everyone agrees on everything, but we are all working on jobs and creating a better atmosphere and a better energy policy. "I want to fix the financial mess we are in, so we don't give it to the next generation. I want to make sure we have an energy policy less dependent on foreign oil, so we do not fight these needless wars. We need to start rebuilding America."Reach Paul J.

Tuesday, August 11 2009 - Legal Response to 9/11
NYC CAN News Bulletin
August 10, 2009
Today we began the signature review, and with much promise! The first step:
to do a recount of the signatures the Board of Elections did validate. And,
after counting only 5 out of 52 volumes, we have found the Board of Elections
reported 229 signatures fewer than what they actually validated inside the volumes.
If their count continues to be off at the same rate, we will gain some 2,300
signatures - SIMPLY BY RECOUNTING THE ONES THAT WERE ALREADY VALIDATED. And
we have already identified one petitioner who collected hundreds of signatures
and was wrongly invalidated, along with all the signatures he gathered! And
there are thousands of invalidated signatures ripe for challenging because the
signer is on the voter roll but put their wrong address - these signatures will
also be deemed valid if the signature on the petition matches the signature
on their voter registration form.

Look 3 Report: Alex Webb on His Creative Process, Kodachrome, and Magnum
Posted by David Walker on Sunday June 10, 2012 | Events, Photojournalism
Posted by David Walker on Sunday June 10, 2012 | Events, Photojournalism
Magnum photographer Alex Webb's conversation with author and photography critic Geoff Dyer at the Look 3 photo festival provided a sweeping retrospective of Webb's career, from his earliest black and white work through his development as a revered master of color photography on projects from Haiti to the US/Mexico Border, Florida, Cuba, and beyond.
Throughout the presentation he described his methods of working and ways of seeing, while giving credit to the happy accidents that resulted in several of his most iconic images.
But the program began on an emotional note for Webb: he told the audience that he was dedicating the presentation of his work to his mother, who died "somewhat unexpectedly" two and a half weeks ago, shortly after being diagnosed with leukemia. Webb went on to say that his mother, a sculptor, was "courageous in her art," and taught him and his siblings "how to be committed artists."
Webb's conversation with Dyer proceeded chronologically through his career and work. Webb's start was ordinary: he got his first camera at the age of ten, but a passion for photography didn't ignite until he was about 15. The first two books that captured his imagination were Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment and Robert Frank's The Americans. "When I started of course serious photography was black and white," Webb said. "Color was sort of crass."
By about 1975, he was photographing the American landscape in the spirit of Lee Friedlander and Charles Harbutt. By the age of 22, he was a Magnum nominee, which Webb downplayed as less of a big deal than it might seem now because there was a lot less competition back then, and nobody was talking about the death of photojournalism. Despite his early success, however, Webb said his work "wasn't really going anywhere."
Between 1975 and 1978, he realized that he needed to photograph "far away from New England, where I was from." He made his first trips afield–to Mississippi, Haiti and the US-Mexico border.
The change of scenery "really shook me out of something," he said. "I grew up in what felt like a slightly complacent world" of New York intellectuals (his father was a book editor and publisher, who worked with several famous writers.) The new places he was exploring were strange without being completely divorced from his cultural experience. "Some semblance of the world I understood intersected with this other world [he wasn't familiar with.] I can't fully explain it, but clearly there are certain places that have gotten my photographic juices going."
Initially, he continued shooting black and white, but soon realized his images were missing an element essential to Haiti and the US-Mexico border: color. By the late 70s, he was shooting in color because it "was the emotional photographic response to the places I was working in. If I had stayed in New England, I don't know whether I would ever have started photographing in color," he said.
The transition was awkward, however. While he was still shooting black and white personal work, he occasionally shot color when an assignment demanded it. "It was lousy, it was shit," Webb said of his early color work.
But he explained to the Look 3 audience that he gradually developed a sense of color, including the color of light and how it can change so quickly outdoors. "Color is about emotion. That's what I began to see and understand as a photographer," he said. "On a trip to Haiti in '79, all of the sudden I started to see in color," he recounted.
Webb worked on numerous projects for years, many of them simultaneously: Haiti, the US-Mexico border, Florida, Cuba, the Amazon, and Istanbul. He also showed images from shorter projects and assignments in France, Germany, and Spain, and other places.
His Haiti project, for instance, began in 1975 and continued until 2000. He finally completed his US Mexico border project with the publication of his book Crossings in 2003. He made his first trip to Cuba in 1993, but didn't begin shooting there in earnest until 2000, continuing that project through the publication of Violet Isle in 2009 (the book is collaboration with his wife, photographer Rebecca Norris Webb, whose images are interspersed with Webb's throughout the book.)
Webb says it takes him a while–sometimes several years– to figure out whether exploratory trips to a new place will turn into a project worthy of a book. For that reason, he tends to have several projects percolating at the same time.
"I don't always know a project is going to be a project until I'm well into it," he said. Later in the presentation, he elaborated: "A project is like stepping off onto journey, but you don't know where it's going to take you or where it's going to end," he said. "As Rebecca [his wife] says, one's photographs are wiser than one's self."
Lately, he's started exploring a project about America's industrial heartland, and expressed optimism about the prospects of that project at his Look 3 presenation. He's visited cities including Eerie, Pennsylvania, and also Rochester, New York, to explore the demise of his film of choice: Kodachrome.
The discontinuation of the film has forced him to start shooting digitally, which raised questions from the audience about how the change has affected his work. Webb compared the difference between digital and film to the difference in sound quality between CDs and vinyl records. Digital "is a little cleaner than the world. Film feels like the messiness of the world," he said.
But he's resigned himself to the change. Had Kodak continued making Kodachrome, he said, "I probably would have been happy to photograph in Kodachrome until I died." But the market is requiring him to switch, and he says, "I realized I can be a bit of a dinosaur, and stick with things too long. I thought that maybe it's time to move into the 21st century."
Describing his approach to his projects, Webb said he doesn't do much in-depth research in advance. "I'll read some fiction to get a taste of the place, and maybe read some guidebooks," he said. "I bring books with me, and read them while I'm there. I want my visual knowledge of place to grow at same rate as my intellectual knowledge." The danger of knowing too much before he goes, he says, is that it primes him to make images that represent aspects of the place, according to what he's read, at the expense of what he might experience.
That approach of limited research, he noted, "is different from how most photojournalists [work]," but he added that he does more advance research before he travels to new places for assignments.
Webb says he prefers to shoot alone. "For me it's a very solitary process. First of all, hanging out with me while i'm photographing is really boring. I'll be here, I'll be there, I'll circle around, and come back." (There are occasions when he needs to hire a fixer, and he's worked along side Maggie Steber and other journalists in the Haiti when political tensions made it particularly dangerous there. "Another photographer or writer can pull you out if you run into trouble," Webb said.)
Webb's is capable of making images of enormous complexity, with shadows and light, reflection, color, optical illusions, juxtapositions, symbolism, and multiple layers of content. (See some examples here.) Not all of his images work so hard (and challenge viewers in the process) but almost every project includes notable examples.
When Dyer reminded Webb that the photographer has questioned the meaning of some of his own complicated photographs of Haiti, Webb responded, "I like photogoraphs that ask questions and open up possibilities. I certianly don't have answers," so his pictures shouldn't pretend to have them.
One other noteworthy topic Dyer raised was Magnum. "How does it suit you being a Magnum photographer?' he asked.
Webb said he was closer to other Magnum photographers earlier in his career. "But we all have gone different ways. We have families. Our work is going in different directions. Some aspects of Magnum are really great, some are problematic. Every Magnum photographer has gone through, 'Im going to leave this fucking agency. I can't stand so-and-so.' It's not an easy place, but anyone at any agency would say something similar." He then added, "There's a real question about whether Magnum is needed…The reason for its existence when it was formed sixty years ago isn't there anymore."

The following requirements have been established to ensure the safety and efficiency of this program. There will be no deviation from these requirements:
The Call-in Brush and Limb Pickup Program will continue through October.
"Operation Dump Truck" can be utilized for larger limbs, in addition to brush. This program provides residents a dumpster box or dump truck, to be loaded by the property owner and disposed of by the City. For more information on the "Operation Dump Truck" program, please call 867-4200.
If you have small quantities, you can place them out with your regular trash to be picked up by Rumpke at no charge.
Additionally, the Parks Department allows residents to drop off brush for chipping. More information here or by calling Parks at 867-5348.
Between April and October residents can arrange to have brush and limbs picked up by phone at 513-867-4200 or using the form below. Requests should be made at least one week in advance of the scheduled pickup date for your area.
All calls must include name, address and a telephone number. It may be necessary to limit the number of scheduled pickups in a specific week, so call as far as in advance as possible. Normal business hours for the Public Works Department are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The program is limited to one pickup per household during each area pickup week.
Service Limits
Both the Brush and Limb Pickup Program and Operation Dump Truck are intended to provide residents an option for normal trimmings and storm damage disposal. Residents contracting with professional tree trimming and removal services should include disposal in their contract since the city is unable to accommodate major disposal needs.
On the second Saturday of the month (excluding January and February), residents may drop off limbs at the north end of Waterworks Park on Groh Lane. Call Parks at 867-5348 to inquire about the schedule.
The program operates from 8 a.m. until noon.
You must be a Fairfield resident to use this program. Click here for more details.

Orem • With his opponent's nose turned into a nonstop fountain of blood, Brandon Dennison breathed heavily each time an injury timeout was called, but he never stopped competing.
"Every time we'd take a break," said the 220-pound Pleasant Grove senior, "I'm still mentally wrestling the whole match."
In what turned out to be classic match between two heavyweights, Dennison outlasted Joe Flores of Box Elder 3-2 in a triple-overtime final.
It was the type of match that lived up to the hype of the 13th annual Utah Amateur Wrestling Foundation's All-Star Duals event Tuesday night at the UCCU Center at Utah Valley University.
Dennison and Flores, two of the best 220-pounders in Utah wrestling, had met many times before and each time the two tangle on the mat, it's a dogfight.
"Every time," Dennison laughed, "every time it's a close match. I knew it was going to be a battle."
The two went through the first five periods tied at 1-1, but Dennison's two-point takedown in the sixth period led to his eventual victory over his friend and rival. The two embraced at the center of the mat as the crowd gave them a raucous ovation before Dennison delivered a final message to Flores.
"I told him that he did a great job and to take it all in 4A," he said.
The Vikings certainly weren't short on stories Tuesday night.
In a 113-pound wild-card match between Pleasant Grove's Kyson Levin and Herriman's Chandler Strand, it was Levin who proved to be the grittiest wrestler of the night.
Leading 7-3 in the second period, Levin crumbled to the ground in a heap after suffering what looked to be a right knee injury. After several minutes down on the mat, the junior defending state champion decided to give it a go.
But his injury took a toll.
He went down 9-8 late in the third period, but earned an escape point to tie it up 9-9 heading into overtime. It was there that he earned a two-point takedown, sealing an emotional 11-9 win.
Levin hobbled to shake the hands of the Herriman coaching staff before falling to the ground in pain.
"That's what a champion is," said Pleasant Grove coach Brock Moore. "He expects it out of himself."
In one of the three featured matches of the night, it was a battle of two-time defending state champion juniors in Alta's Matt Findlay and Cedar's Dusty Hone. While the two 126-pounders had met twice before splitting each meeting Findlay took a 2-1 series lead between the two grapplers Tuesday with a 7-4 win.
"It was an honor," Findlay said. "I'm glad I could participate and glad I could perform."
In the much-anticipated final feature matchup between 4A stars Grant LaMont of Maple Mountain and Rasten Yeates of Box Elder, it was the 152-pounder LaMont who defeated the 160-pounder Yeates 8-4.
Following many outstanding performances by wrestlers from both Maple Mountain and Box Elder, the Class 4A All-Stars won the event with a point total of 36. Class 5A and 3A tied at 26, while the 1A/2A squad finished with 15 points.

ROCK HILL, S.C. - The South Atlantic Conference Football Players of the Week have been announced for the week ending October 11, 2009. Mars Hill College running back Jonas Randolph was named Offensive Player of the Week, Wingate University safety Robert Fletcher was named Defensive Player of the Week, and Brevard College punter Eric Watts was named Special Teams Player of the Week.
Randolph, a sophomore from Daleville, Ala. (Daleville HS) carried the ball 40 times for 248 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Lions to a 34-28 victory over SAC rival Newberry College Saturday night. MHC was a perfect 4-for-4 in the redzone with all four red zone scores coming on touchdown carries by Randolph. The four touchdowns tied a school record set back in 2002 by Cedric Johnson. His efforts put Randolph over the 1,000-yard mark (1,122 yds) for the season. He is averaging 187 yards per game and 5.8 yards per carry. Randolph wins the award for the third time this season.
Fletcher, a redshirt freshman from Lancaster, S.C. (Lancaster HS) had 11 solo tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble return for a touchdown as the Bulldogs rallied to defeat Lenoir-Rhyne University 50-49 in South Atlantic Conference football action Saturday afternoon at Moretz Stadium. Fletcher wins the award for the second time this season. In the second quarter, Fletcher picked up a fumble in stride and took it 52 yards to pay dirt. The touchdown cut the Wingate deficit to 28-14. The score marked the third time Fletcher has found the end zone this season. Fletcher and his opportunistic teammates forced three turnovers, recovering three fumbles Saturday.
Watts, a sophomore from Powhatan, Va. (Old Dominion University) punted the ball seven times for 318 yards, with three of his kicks traveling over 50 yards as he consistently pinned the Pioneers offense deep in their own territory, forcing them to march the length of the field against the Tornados defense. Watts kicked a season-long 75-yarder in the second quarter and added kicks of 55 and 54 in the game as he averaged 45.4 yards per kick, pinning the Pioneers inside their 20-yard line twice. In addition to his punting duties, Watts also played wide receiver, catching two passes for 67 yards, including the game-winning 33-yarder in overtime to clinch the Tornados first winning season in modern program history.

Would be very cool if everyone who preaches about their love for this sport turned up to the Q&A this Thursday night.
very cool if everyone on this forum and cyber world got behind safemma
be happy that steps are being taken to help get the sport where everyone claims they want it do be.
What is NOT very cool is consistent BITCHING about " What if's "
Facts are no one else has stood up and grabbed this by the balls and made such a move to make happen whats needed in this sport and country until now.
You have the 3 biggest orgs in the country & two of the most respected uk mma figure heads on board this, who have spent over a year putting this in place, this is a major step in the right direction get behind it .
Yes there may well be some issues to iron out but those issues will be minor and may take 6-12 months to come out in the wash but this is it, this is the one shot the entire community has of getting external respect as a sport.
I suggest WE ALL grab this opportunity and make it work.
See you Thursday.
Actions speak louder then words....#No23
if you think its easy stop now
no one achieved anything by doing nothing
never argue with a fool
if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing
Will this come further north for a Q&A session, obviously it was short notice and not accessible for a lot of people in the country.
I had blood tests done for an ISKA show a few years ago at my local GUM clinic, it was free and yes you needed ID to have them done and to pick up the results too... dunno if its changed though!

'I think the priority has to be Ryan Miller this offseason. He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of next season, and the Sabres can't let him get close to testing the free agent waters. I think they should sing Miller this summer, and if the excess dollars they would have spent on Campbell help get that done – so be it.'
