Should be an interesting Tour de France next year. It might even take on some aspects of a demolition derby around those tight curves in the Alps.
Alberto Contador, back in Spain now, is making certain that the teamwork front he and Lance Armstrong put on this month is recognized as pure fiction.
"My relationship with Lance Armstrong is non-existent," this year's Tour winner told reporters. "Even if he is a great champion, I have never had admiration for him and I never will."
Looking back on the two headliners having to share the marquee while riding for their Astana team, Contador added that: "It was a delicate situation, very tense, the two riders who had most weight on the team did not have an easy relationship and that puts the rest of the technical staff and the riders in an uncomfortable position."
Armstrong responded that the Spaniard should "drop this drivel."

Premiership leaders Bath were fortunate to escape with a draw as Northampton overcame a 21-10 first-half deficit to preserve their 18-month unbeaten home record in a thriller at Franklins Gardens.
Butch James kicked three penalties and two conversions for Bath. Full-back Jack Cuthbert, No 8 Daniel Browne and flanker Jonny Faamatuainu scored tries for the visitors, with Northampton replying through Paul Diggin, Mark Easter and Soane Tonga'uiha, and 13 points from the boot of full-back Stephen Myler.
James kicked Bath into an early 6-0 lead after Northampton were penalised three times for offences at the ruck in the opening 11 minutes. The hosts hit back when Diggin scored their opening try in the 14th minute.
Roger Wilson made the break to split the Bath defence and Cuthbert committed himself as Northampton locks Juandre Kruger and Ignacio Fernández Lobbe combined to send Diggin over in the corner, with Myler adding the touchline conversion.
Bath won possession from the restart and Cuthbert made instant amends, bouncing off four would-be tacklers on his charge to the line for his side's first try. Bath's second try came in the 27th minute when they controlled a close-range scrum superbly before Browne powered over.
Myler's second penalty enabled Northampton to stay in touch at 21-13 at half-time and they reduced the arrears to one seven minutes into the second half.
Northampton, now in full flow, threw everything at the leaders and only some desperate tackling by the visitors held Northampton at bay. But Saints grabbed the lead for the first time in the 61st minute when Myler landed a stunning drop-goal.
Bath hit back to level the scores when Faamatuainu burst through for their third try to set the scene for a tension-packed finale in the last eight minutes. Northampton continued to hammer away, but the visitors held out.

Jon Knott, Tagg Bozied and JJ Furmaniak and Freddy Guzman all were factors for Portland's first place finish and having the best offense in AAA. With the exceptions of catcher Humberto Quintero (traded for Tim Redding) and third baseman Jake Gautreau (traded for Corey Smith in the offseason), nearly everyone with the exception of Nady will be back in 2005 for the Beavers. On the mound the Beavers will again return three of their top four starters (Dennis Tankersley was traded in the offseason with Terrence Long for Darrel May), Tim Stauffer, Justin Germano and Chris Oxspring.
If the Padres fielded a less talented team at the major league level, several of these players would be making their major league debuts in 2005 instead of returning for another year in Portland.
* - will begin season on the disabled list
Who to Watch - The Beavers again will be one of the better teams in the Pacific Coast League with an infield filled with PCL veterans Tagg Bozied (once healthy), J.J. Furmaniak and Jesse Garcia, the star of this year's spring training for the Padres and destined for Portland when Dave Roberts returns in a week. Both Furmaniak and Garcia profile more as utility players and Bozied, a right-handed hitting first baseman who doesn't play other positions, is probably destined to be moved to an American League club.
Barfield, MadFriars.com top prospect and Baseball America's two-time top prospect, will need to improve on his plate selectivity to push for a major league position. However, Barfield's power and ability to hit in the clutch should make the Beaver's attack even more formidable. At Mobile, Barfield batted only .248, but hit .331 with runners in scoring position and hit a career high 18 home runs. The Padres have always been very high on Barfield, even structuring Mark Loretta's contract to expire in 2006 (when they presumed Josh would be ready), but Loretta is coming off of two very good seasons, so right now its difficult to see Barfield replacing Loretta in 2006.
The outfield has three good prospects led by Jon Knott, who rivaled Nady as the offensive star of the Beavers. Knott can play either corner OF position and first base, but is stuck behind Phil Nevin, Brian Giles, Ryan Klesko and Xavier Nady. An injury to any of them will probably result in Knott being called up first, followed by Bozied.
Guzman has been getting a lot of press recently and on the surface he seems exactly what San Diego needs, a speedy centerfielder that can patrol the spacious PETCO outfield, while at the same time giving the Padres the leadoff man that they need. Not only does Freddy have off the charts speed, but his stolen base success rate is a career 83 percent, with 235 stolen bases in 369 minor league games. Concerns about his ability to hit major league pitching were not answered in his brief call up last year (.211 in 76 Abs), and if he has enough arm to play centerfield. Currently he is rehabbing his throwing elbow and should be available around early June. Look for Kerry Robinson to patrol centerfield for the present.
Ben Johnson could eventually become the best prospect of the three. A combination of speed and power, Johnson finally put it together in Mobile in 2004. He carried his success into the Arizona Fall League and had a great spring at Peoria. He can play all three outfield positions and if he continues to impress he should have a shot at making the 2006 Padres because of his versatility.
Tim Stauffer and Justin Germano are currently the top Padres pitching prospects, and will be the first to be called on in case of injuries or if someone again fails in the fifth slot. Both Stauffer and Germano are intelligent pitchers, with a wide arsenal of pitches to throw for strikes. The big question with each is if they have enough "stuff" to be an effective MLB pitcher. Neither has an overpowering fastball, Stauffer relies on a plus changeup and Germano a plus curve. Currently Stauffer and Germano are projected as #4 to #5 starters and could be passed by Travis Chick, a pitcher with a much bigger ceiling than either Stauffer or Germano, by the end of the season.
Chris Oxspring returns for his second tour in Portland and could see a promotion as a long man out of the bullpen on the major league level. A good fastball, plus curveball and an improved changeup could be his ticket to the majors.
Brad Baker may be the first pitcher called up in 2005. At Mobile, Baker saved 30 games with 68 strikeouts to only 34 base on balls in 57 innings. Additionally, Baker went 2-1 with a 1.57 ERA. The most impressive statistic is that he struck out nearly a third of all batters that he faced (232 total batters, with 68 strike outs and only two home runs given up). Baker has one of the best changeups in the majors, a good fastball but needs to develop a breaking ball. Promoted late in the season to the Beavers, Brad had four saves in eight games, and again struck out nearly half of the batters he faced (38 batters faced, with 17 strikeouts). If he can maintain his success, he should earn a call up by mid-season.
2005 Projection: The Beavers will again be one of the better teams in AAA. Any of the starters, with the possible exception of Josh Barfield and Ben Johnson, could play a role on the San Diego Padres depending on performances and injuries.
A few players in Mobile may be promoted by mid-season, depending on injuries and possible trades. If Travis Chick performs in Mobile, he will be promoted quickly to bolster an already strong pitching staff. Also look for Paul McAnulty to add a needed left handed bat.
The Beavers again will be the best minor league team in San Diego's system, and the replacement of Josh Barfield, Ben Johnson and Jesse Garcia for Bernie Castro, Alex Fernandez and Jake Gautreau will make a good team last year even better.

2007.234: Lie powers and Witt vectors

In the study of Lie powers of a module $V$ in prime characteristic $p$, a basic role is played by certain modules $B_n$ introduced by Bryant and Schocker. The isomorphism types of the $B_n$ are not fully understood, but these modules fall into infinite families $\{ B_k, B_{pk}, B_{p^2 k}, \dots \}$, one family $B(k)$ for each positive integer $k$ not divisible by $p$, and there is a recursive formula for the modules within $B(k)$. Here we use combinatorial methods and Witt vectors to show that each module in $B(k)$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of tensor products of direct summands of the $k$th tensor power $V^{\otimes k}$.

Got the 14.5 miles done yesterday morning. It's the longest distance that I've ever run. I kind of wish that I had tracked my splits, because I may have also pr'd for the 13.1.
The nutrigrain bars are working really well for nutrition during the runs. I should have planned for better hydration, but I'll should be running with a buddy for the remaining training and the marathon route itself has a lot of water stations.
This month is my birthday. My Mom came up to visit us and play with the grandkids, so she gave me an early birthday present: new running shoes! I got New Balance 870's. I have very low arches and I really like the support that New Balance gives me. I also had forgotten that the running store puts me in size 13 shoes. That's perfect because at the end of that run yesterday, I needed every bit of space. I wear 11 in dress shoes, so it's an adjustment to wear those boats for running.
All in all, a very good run. Even though my mother still can not comprehend why I want to run a marathon and wishes that I'd drop down to the half. My wife, fortunately, has accepted my insanity.

SURVEY: 12% of Americans Say It's OK to Cheat on Taxes
While most Americans say cheating on taxes is unacceptable, 12% say it's OK.
When asked how acceptable it is to cheat on taxes, if at all, 12% of respondents to a recent survey answered, "A little here and there" or "Ss much as possible."
That's up slightly from 11% in 2012 and up from a low of 9% in 2008.
The survey also found that opinions about the IRS have gotten more negative, with many people saying the agency spends too much time and effort trying to bust people – and doesn't pay enough attention to helping regular taxpaying citizens. (CNN)

The Reds have their closer in a great deal. They signed former Phillies closer Ryan Madson to a one year, $6 million deal. Madson was the Phillies closer for the first time in his nine year career and he put together some solid numbers but when he went looking for a long term deal, nobody came knocking. Madson's loss is the Reds win because now they have a better closer at a better price.
Madson gave up just two home runs in 60 2/3 innings and he struck out 62 with just 16 walks. Ultimately, the Reds will be on the hook for $8.5 million because there's an $11 million mutual option for 2013 with a $2.5 million buy out. Madson ran into problems when other closers were signed early and now he has an out if he's lights out in 2012.
The All Star Break is here and the Reds are in fourth place. Even worse, they have a losing record at 45-47. Of course the good news is, they're only four games back of first place. The Cardinals and Brewers are tied for first and then the surprising Pirates sit just one game back of them. I'd say the Pirates won't have the staying power but I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of people were saying about the Reds last year.
Best pitcher goes to the sophomore Mike Leake. He leads the teams in wins (8) and ERA (4.28) but he has to get more consistent. He'll shut a team out for six innings one day then give up four or five the next time out. Of course the Reds have one of the worst pitching staffs this year in the National League so being the best of a mediocre staff shouldn't make anyone happy. They've given up a bunch of home runs and they've walked a lot of guys and if the Reds are going to make a move, they need to turn around their pitching staff woes quickly.
Best hitter is Joey Votto but a close second is Jay Bruce who seems to be coming into his own. Votto has a .945 OPS and while Bruce is well behind him at .852, he has the 21 home runs.
Enjoy the break everyone. Hopefully the Reds can kick things off strong against the Cardinals when they return from the break.
The Reds Minor League affiliates got off to a good start last night. Be sure to check out the coverage over at Reds Minors.
Testing out to see if the fixes worked.
Another try.
Looks like my RSS feed got hacked. I'm checking to make sure what I did fixed the problems.
The NL Central is quite a log jam these days. The Reds have dropped four straight, including a three game sweep at the hands of the Royals, yet they still sit just 2 1/2 games back of first place. Unfortunately, just four games seperate first from last and we're talking about a six team division here. The All Star break is a month away but things are definitely interesting here in Reds land.
It was another one run, five hit game as the Reds lost this afternoon. The Reds scored in the first, then never pushed a runner across the plate again. Jonny Gomes had the lone extra base hit with a double and Alex Gonzalez scored the lone run.
Johnny Cueto was roughed up but oddly, all five runs he gave up were unearned. He gave up seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings.
The loss pushed the Reds to an even 31-31. The Reds at least get a break from interleague as they host the Braves for three games. It's Aaron Harang against Jair Jurrjens in the opener on Tuesday.
Well, my new favorite player didn't even become a Red as my hopeful signing, Pat Burrell, signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. It was a nice little deal for the Rays too and you wonder why the Reds didn't jump. You'd think with a veteran manager (Dusty Baker) and a top notch general manager (Walt Jocketty) that this team would be on their way back but we're a year plus into the regime and we're still waiting.
There's a decent story on Adam Dunn at the Enquirer. He's still out there and while he'd be a good fit for the Reds, odds are they won't roll that way because of Dunn's past with the Reds (not that it's bad, they just gave up on him once, so why go out and get him back). It looks like the Dodgers have shown some interest if the Giants can steal Manny but our old friend Jim Bowden in Washington might also have his eyes on Dunnster.
Here's another reason why the Willie Taveras signing looks foolish. Now Andruw Jones might be available at a bargain basement price. Not that a Jones signing wouldn't have its risks, but at least there's a lot more upside then Willie T. In the meantime, the Reds are waiting to hear from Jerry Hairston, Jr. but that's another snoozer deal.
I know the economy has all of the mid-market teams spooked, but c'mon. Burrell is a premier slugger and he got scooped up for $8 million per. If the Reds wait too long, they'll be left holding the bag.
Other than the fact that he was playing for the hated Cardinals and their a-hole of a coach, I thought the Rick Ankiel story was amazing. He transformed himself from crazy-wild pitcher to prolific power (major league) hitter in two short years. I bought into it hook, line and sinker. Then the HGH story comes out and I ask myself, "Why did I fall for this again?" Fresh off the years of Bret Boone hitting 37 home runs and Ron Gant's biceps bursting out of his uniform, you would think I would learn. Well, no more feel good features for me. I'm assuming that everyone is juiced. Screech, Gary Coleman, Don Zimmer. Everyone.
Reds are 9.5 games out. 'Nuff said, true believer.
Wait – haven't I seen this before? Mike Stanton gave up three runs yet again in only his fourth appearance, blowing a late comeback by the Reds. Narron has consistently gone the 'pen and brought in pitchers in different situations – playing the averages. It has consistently blown up in his face too – it's hard to figure out who is going to not execute in this bullpen. Sometimes they play well, other times – well, look at last night's game to get an idea. It's difficult to feel very confident with any late lead with this current Reds 'pen.
One nice development in this game was Ken Griffey Jr.'s emergence as the Griffey of his youth. Grif hit a 3-run homer and actually stole a base (which later led to him scoring a run).
Josh Hamilton did indeed win the NL rookie of the month award. It would be pretty hard to argue against him winning it. He's a Cinderella story for sure. Let's hope the happy endings continue for Josh (and I mean that in the strictest, most Southern Baptist sense.)

Gus Weill
Gus Weill, Sr. (born 1933), is an American author and public relations specialist originally from Lafayette, Louisiana.
Weill graduated in 1955 from Louisiana State University in the state capital of Baton Rouge. He then completed the United States Army Counter Intelligence School as a special agent. He was first lieutenant of the Counter Intelligence Corps in Frankfurt, Germany. He was discharged from the military in 1957.[1]
In 1958, Weill he established the first advertising/public relations firm in Baton Rouge. In 1963, he was introduced to Louisiana Public Service Commissioner John J. McKeithen by Judge Edmund Reggie and soon took over the management of McKeithen's successful gubernatorial campaign. From 1964 to 1968, he served as executive secretary to McKeithen in the latter's first term as governor. Considered the "father of modern political public relations in Louisiana," Weill also handled campaigns for three other Louisiana governors, McKeithen's predecessor and successor, Jimmie Davis and Edwin Edwards, and Edwards' successor and second predecessor, David C. Treen. He trained the Democratic strategist James Carville, a mastermind of the election in 1992 of Bill Clinton as U.S. president.[2]
Weill also groomed other public relations specialists, who became his competitors, such as Raymond Strother, manager of the Gary Hart presidential campaign, and Roy Fletcher, affiliated with Patrick J. Buchanan.[1] In all, Weill managed some 350 campaigns. He was involved in the political promotion of the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.[3] Weill also convinced McKeithen to implement the state agency CODOFIL, the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana, an idea originally proposed by U.S. Representative James Domengeaux.[1]
A writer of novels, plays, and poetry, Weill spent two years working for the producer Otto Preminger. For nineteen years, Weill hosted the program Louisiana Legends on his state's Public Broadcasting Service network.[2] Weill's novel, The Cajuns (2004) is particularly known for its treatment of Cajun culture and the unique characters of the fictitious Richelieu Parish in the year 1956, with political corruption and petty theft running rampant. One of the characters bears the name "Patoot Gaspard," a veteran member of the Louisiana State Senate. Gaspard's son-in-law, a "Bobby Boudreaux", is the parish sheriff. The local priest, "Father Justin," is Gaspard's son. Though not himself Cajun, Weill developed a knowledge of that culture through his rearing in Lafayette.[4]
The Cajuns was actually inspired by a suggestion from James Carville: "Gus was always telling stories, from the first day I met him. There aren't many people who can tell you the same story, like, eleven times and still make you want to hear it again. He's the best raconteur I've ever met."[5]
Here is a selected list of Weill's works:
- The Bonnet Man[6]
- Flesh with Dana Isaacson[7]
- Fuhrer Seed[8]
- Love and Other Guilts: The Poetry of Gus Weill[9]
- Parradiddle: A Novel[10]
- To Bury a Cousin[11]
- A Woman's Eyes[12]
- You Are My Sunshine: The Jimmie Davis Story, An Affectionate Biography [13]
- The Weill Side of Louisiana Politics: Gus Weill Remembers [14]
Personal life
Weill had a son, Gus Weill, Jr. (c. 1962-2004), an attorney and public relations specialist in New York City, who suffered from depression and committed suicide at the age of forty-two.[15][16]
Weill has resided in New York City since December 2002. He has a grandson, Gus Weill, III. Weill is Jewish.[5][15]
In 1983, Weill was named to the Douglas L. Manship Hall of Fame in the LSU School of Mass Communications.[17] In 1994, he was named a "Louisiana Legend" by the PBS program that he hosted for many years.[1] In 1996, Weill was inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame, located in Winnfield, Louisiana.[18]
Erik Spanberg describes Weill, accordingly:
All his life, Gus Weill has been distracted by a restless mind incapable of sticking to one subject for long. That peripatetic nature led to turns as a political consultant, an advertising executive, a gubernatorial adviser, television and radio host, poet, biographer, and now, at last, full-time novelist.[5]

Library Users from Palomar's Escondido Center
Valerie Belden
In Fall 2008 Valerie Belden's Chicano Studies instructor assigned several activities requiring library research. As a returning adult student Valerie was then in her 2nd semester at Palomar College. That same semester her English class required she write papers using scholarly resources. This created considerable anxiety for Valerie whose previous research experience occurred before the influx of Internet based information technologies. Throughout the semester she worked with Librarians and Technicians at the Ernest J. Allen Library (EJA) at Escondido, learning to use the online catalog, library databases and other library resources. Thanks to her persistence and studiousness Valerie successfully completed her first rigorous college research projects. The EJA staff is excited to work with Valerie again this term as she continues to develop information competency by using the library to enhance her learning, even when she doesn't have a library assignment.

Diane Peabody
Palomar student Diane Peabody has most of her classes at the San Marcos campus for the Spring 2009 semester. In the Fall 2008 term she completed her ENG100 coursework at the Escondido Center. While working on her research paper for Professor Ron Reed she began using the EJA library at this campus. Given her love for literature she found herself exploring the collection and getting to know the staff. While the collection at EJA was definitely smaller, to quote Diane "I loved working in the Escondido Library because it was easy to receive personal attention from extremely helpful librarians." Although Diane takes most of her classes at San Marcos this Spring, she finds time to stop by the EJA library to share what's new in her college experience. She hopes to take a class at Escondido again during the Summer session.
Juan Medina
As a student in one of Escondido's signature programs (Emergency Services Education [EME]) Juan Medina has a very demanding schedule. When he visits the EJA Library at Escondido Juan usually knows just what he needs (e.g. study guide, reserve textbook, etc.). While the EME Department has a collection of materials to assist students studying for certification as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or paramedics the library provides excellent resources to supplement EME instruction. The magazine Juan is holding (JEMS: a Journal of Emergency Services) is one such item. EJA also owns books that support the program, most of which can be checked out. The 24/7 availability of the library's electronic resources (Learning Express tests, EBSCO ebooks, articles from databases, etc.) make them invaluable given the hectic pace of EME training.

Family of Missing Hoboken Man Offer Reward
The family of a 27 year old Hoboken man is offering a $10,000 reward for information about his whereabouts.
Andrew Jarzyk disappeared early Sunday morning. He had dinner with friends and then went for a jog along the waterfront.
He never returned home and now his family is desperate to know where he is.
"My children have lost out in life because their uncle is not here," said Jarzyk's sister-in-law Karyn. "He would do anything for anyone."
Surveillance video shows Jarzyk jogging, but it doesn't give any indication of what may have happened to him. No one else is seen on the surveillance footage.
"He didn't just go out and get drunk and disappear. He's not that type of person," said Karyn Jarzyk.
Authorities say there's no evidence of foul play. A search of the area has turned up nothing.

Wow, that's amazing. Arnold Shapiro is a class act and it's great to see the good guys succeed. I worked with him sometime ago, and he was great to his staff, and always a pleasure to deal with.
awesome show i watched it with my three kids and they were scared to death to ever do anything to end up in prison .one of my favorite a&e shows thank god for a&e
This show is amazing thank god for people whom put the effort into helping our kids.I watch this show and my heart is so touched and I just have to say "GOD BLESS YOU GUYS"for all you guys do keep up the good work!
i 100% agree with you because if they dont get help they are gonna end up dead or in jail
Arnold Shapiro (really) is a 'class act'.
Chalk one up for the good guys.
Loved the show! I watched it with my 2 kids and told them if they continue to give problems like they do I would put them on there myself! They kinda laughed at me. I really wish there was someone who can help me scare my kids like those kids. Looking forward to some more shows!!
Although I never gave my parents a lot of trouble, I remember the first Scared Straight program I saw back in the last 70's/early 80's…that did it for me! It showed me that if I wasn't a troubled child I didn't want to start. I watched this episode with my two daughters 17 and 14..they were terrified…Thank God for these type programs…they really are eye opener for kids on both sides of the behavior fence. Thanks A&E…Can't wait to see what airs this week! Thanks
A&E wow as a felon myself I wish I had someone to show me what I.m.p.a.c.t. is showing them kids just watching the show remembered me what I went thru.It even remembered me why I don't ever want to go back to jail. Thank you A&E for helping them kids out hopefully at least 1 of them get the point.Jail ain't no joke thank you Jesus and family and friends who helped me changed my life around.I.M.P.A.C
T. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL WHAT A SHOW TWO THUMBS WAY UP!! thanks for your time readers Evan f. V. I walked away from 15 to 30 thank you Jesus the year I stayed in the county jail c.f.c.f. I learned my lessons. This thing called life is real common guys wake up.
Do you have any idea how to sign up or if there are casting calls. My son is 13 & I think the younger the better & I am very interested.
I watched the show with my 11 year old daughter my mother call and told her she was going to call the show if she get sent home one more time by the end she was crying mommy okay I love please don't send me there thank you can't wait to next we
I loved this show. I wish I could send my granddaughter and grandson to this program . They don't listen to their mom . The boy is 14 girl is 13. She ditches is out all night has been brought home by the police. She loves to fight and beat us her brother. He has a anger problem ditches school when ever he wants they both curse so bad their four year old brother has repeated them. Their mom works hard and they won't do chores. Fight over mom's phone. Call each other names that is embarrassing . They think they are cute funny its nov. I love to send then to your show. Mothers ready to fall apart. I have to see my daughter so upset. She goes to the hospital almost every two weeks. Her nerves can't take it. Pies pairing then alone. Does her best for then.
I watched the show with my nine year old daughter. Both my girls are good and the biggest problem I have is getting them to clean their room – so far. But things can change so fast especially with teenagers (my oldest is 13, but was doing homework). This show is exceptional. My nine year old has been on her best behavior since the show went off! If possible, I'd like to pass on special thanks to Diabla. She really brings home what prison is about and pulls no punches. It's what kids need to see – real consequences happening to real people.
This show was amazing. I am not a big fan of reality TV but this one I just couldn't miss and now I am hooked. It is a real eye opener for children teetering on the wrong side of the law. I am a 40 year old woman and I've never had a brush with the law other than a speeding ticket or two, and I cry like a baby when I get one. Prior to watching this show I was very naive about prison life. The appearance of the ladies, their stories and heartache. It was hard for me to look at some of the ladies and make myself believe they are murderers. Somehow I just never really think of women being so cold, evil and dangerous. I was so scared for the teen girls who visted Chowchilla Correctional. I cried when they cried and found myself praying that they'd turn their lives around so that this would never be their reality. I was absolutely frozen with fear when they introduced "Diabla" but found it heart warming when during the one-on-one session she cried talking about her daughter and not being there for her. I made my daughters watch it last night. I am raising two step-daughters who's mother is incarcerated and has been for the past 15 years. To actually see what her life has been like and some of the things she's surely had to endure, I just can't seem to come to terms with it. And to think but for the Grace of God that could have been me. I am hooked, I won't be mising a single episode. Oh, and I've started leaving the house a little earlier so I don't have to speed getting to work – God knows I don't want to every see flashing blue light behind me again.
I'm not sure where to begin..My boyfriend and I are 18 months into recovery (meth and alcohol addiction) and we are working a hard program, we both have sponsors that we meet with regularly. In the program, they teach us to humble ourselves and ask for help when we need it. Well here I am, trying to exhaust all my resources. My step daughter is 14, she thinks it's ok to come home high and not go to school. Her behavior is how ours was in our addiction and we are at our wits end. She has already been to juvenile hall and has a rap sheet a mile long, we have her in counceling but that's not helping. She watches "Scared Straight" and thinks it's a total joke. I would like to know how to enroll her in this program so she can see that she is going down the wrong road. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, all I can do for her now is just pray that God watches over her. We need help, and I fear time is running out for her. Please please contact me to help her understand that this is real life and not a joke.Thank you, and God Bless.
keep this progarm on if it gets one young kid to stop and think what well happen to them thats great. i watch this program every week, i make sure i dont mess it and i got family and friends to watch.i cried at the 1st one as all i could see was my son trying to help a kid being were he was jail and then sent to prison.i just lost my son he passed in sept 17 2010 in jail with an illness meaning cancer.i just hope these guys can help just one young person thats all it takes.john erving was 45 when he died and he did help one young man and he came to john funnel and just cried as he lost a good friend. so thats a good thing.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
What can I say? IT"S ABOUT DAM TIME.!! This show ,this program needs to be!.
These kids NEED to see the other side of crime.
it's not guts and glory ,You WILL get caught you WILL do time, and it's not pretty.
There are men in there that WILL fight you, beat you and some will RAPE you!
you can't scare these kids enough! I hope this show goes big time.
Thank you.
I love my child more than life but, he is troubled. He steals and lies and bullies kids as well as stealing homework and copying it for himself and stealing from teachers. He tells his teachers off and this is in one day. No one wants to help unless he does a crime but i am trying to prevent it before it happens. Everyone says that a kid does this because he has a bad life at home, this is so bull, i was abused when i was a child very much tortured and i promised i would never be that kind of parent and i do not abuse my kids and i make sure they know they are loved everyday but there are consequences for thing they do please help
i enjoy the show and i would like to know what i can do to help my grandsons, i would like to know why cincinnati,ohio don't have it here. and how cani get information for my grandsons and granddaughters,
I need to put my daughter on this show
I would like to thank Mr. Shapiro and the entire team at Arnold Shapiro Productions for their efforts filming at Valley State Prison for Women. The Crossroads Program featured as the premiere episode of Beyond Scared Straight was a real eye opener for the viewer. I have spent the past 22 years in corrections and the last 18 with California's female population. The Crossroads Program was designed to allow at risk youth the opportunity to see and feel the realities of incarceration. Although the events described by the inmate facilitators are true, they are not every day occurrences. Beneath the language, tattoo's and frightening stares, are inmates who feel the need to help those individuals who may be lost and in need of some help and guidance, in other words, a reality check. Although the intensity of the program goes without saying, it is the one on one time that has the most effect on the juveniles. I believe Arnold delivered that message in a very concise way and accurate way. I will say this, in regards to Pretty Boy, Green Eyes and Diabla, what you see it what you get. I hope I have the opportunity to work with the professionals at ASP in the future.
I have a 11 year old he has trouble listening to me and in school as well he has poor grades. We watch your show and I tell him to clean his act or else I will send him to your show. He blames his dad for everything he does wrong gets in trouble and lies, since his dad is nt around. I hope I can get more info regarding your show. Thank you!!
this show is the realist thing these teens can see besides actually being there. i've seen many comments on how to sign your own child up. i also would like the same info. if anybody fids a way to sign up please post it asap
Love the show, how do I enroll my son?
My daughters r watching.it ..11…and 9..and they mouth..is wide open!!!….
i love this show and im only 20..this show has taught me so much. i plan on not going to jail never because i dont want to end up in a place where i cant sleep in my own bed,eat my own food,take a shower when i want and by myself,most of all spend time with my family. so hope these kids really wake up and realize that jail is not a joke.
