The Massachusetts Bar Association will present its Legislator of the Year Award to State Representative Michael A. Costello (D) on Thursday, Nov. 1 at the MBA Gala Dinner. The MBA Legislator of the Year Award is presented annually to a state or federal legislator who has distinguished him or herself in public service through outstanding contributions to the legal profession, courts and the administration of justice.
"We are pleased to bestow Representative Costello with this high honor at one of our signature events of the year," said David W. White Jr., whose term as MBA president begins this Saturday.
According to White, Costello has been engaged in a number of matters of keen importance to the Massachusetts bar, including criminal law matters, bar advocate pay increases and improvements to the administration of justice.
Costello currently serves as the State Representative of the First Essex District. He was first elected to represent the City of Newburyport and the Towns of Amesbury and Salisbury in November 2002. Having served as a member of the Legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary, Costello currently serves as a member of the House Committee on Ethics and chairs the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security.
The Nov. 1 MBA Gala Dinner will take place at The InterContinental Boston on the city's waterfront. In addition to the presentation of the Legislator of the Year Award, the dinner will also feature remarks from White and keynote speaker Richard A. Clarke.

18 September 2012
For the second straight day the Tigers took a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth inning, and for the second straight day they ended up squandering the lead en route to a one-run loss.
In a micro sense, the two losses were a near-killer for the team's playoff chances and a huge disappointment. In a more macro view, the team split the four-game series with Chicago and took the three-game series with Cleveland which is nearly all you could expect from a seven game stretch on the road. Either way, it leaves the Tigers three games out with sixteen games to play – not an easy gap to bridge.
The Tigers have a relatively easy schedule ahead – with the caveat that "easy" games down the stretch against teams such as the Royals haven't been easy for this club to convert into wins in past years – so a 10-6 or 11-5 record isn't completely out of the question. But even if Detroit was to finish up 11-5 (that's one loss per remaining series), they would need to hope for an 8-8 record from the White Sox just to force a tie-break game. Needless to say, each loss from here on out will cut significantly into their comeback chances.
The Wildcard is now out of the question. The Tigers are 5.5 games out of the second spot, and even a sweep of Oakland (6.5 games ahead and in the first Wild Card spot) wouldn't put them within immediate striking distance (unless Baltimore, Tampa Bay, and Los Angeles – to some extent – all begin collapsing at the same time).
In reality, the Tigers only hope at this point is to sweep a series or three and hope the White Sox stumble in some of their more difficult matchups (they still have a series each remaining with Los Angeles and Tampa Bay). It's not time to bury them yet, but the end may indeed be nigh.

Musiqa Receives CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming
Contemporary classical ensemble Musiqa has received the Chamber Music Association/American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (CMA/ASCAP) Award for Adventurous Programming of contemporary music for 2013. The award, one of the most prestigious music awards in the nation, is given to just eight recipients annually.
Musiqa is being honored for its wide-ranging commissioning, performance, and educational activities in the past year. The jury cited as examples "Free of the Ground," part of Musiqa's Downtown Series, which included a world premiere ballet in collaboration with the Houston Ballet Academy; and a concert in its Loft Series, held in conjunction with Contemporary Art Museum of Houston's survey of the career of visual artist Donald Moffett, which included politically charged works such as Frederic Rzewski's "No More War." The jury also highlighted Musiqa's audience-engagement activities include talks by the composers, question-and-answer sessions, and a variety of new-music concerts for children.
"We are proud to receive this very prestigious honor," said Anthony Brandt, Musiqa's artistic board director. "It is very gratifying that our approach to programming, which involves introducing new works to new audiences and providing unique educational opportunities for students, has resulted in this significant award. We are thrilled and humbled to receive this recognition and grateful to the Houston community for supporting and encouraging our work."
Established jointly by Chamber Music America and ASCAP, the annual awards recognize U.S.-based professional ensembles and presenters for distinctive programming of music composed within the past 25 years. The recipients, chosen by an independent panel of judges, were evaluated on the basis of their programming and innovations in attracting audiences to performances of new music. See a list of recipients here.
"Today's composers are writing exciting and beautiful music for small ensembles," said Chamber Music America's CEO, Margaret M. Lioi. "Innovative presenters and artists in the chamber music community are introducing this music to audiences around the country, and this year we are pleased to recognize eight ensembles and presenters whose accomplishments in this area are particularly inspiring."
The CMA/ASCAP awards will be presented at the 35th Chamber Music America National Conference, January 20, 2013, at the Westin New York at Times Square.
Musiqa (www.musiqahouston.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the performance of contemporary classical music. Founded in 2002 and led by five composers, Musiqa aims to enrich and inspire the community through programs that integrate contemporary music with other modern art forms. Musiqa celebrates modern creative arts through interdisciplinary concerts that highlight modern music and its connections to literature, film, dance, art, and more. With its innovative collaborations and educational programming, Musiqa strives to make modern repertoire accessible and vital to audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds.

Cathy Gaulter Carter of Thame in Oxfordshire chaired: The Thame Walking and Cycling Campaign (formerly Thame Better Ways to School Group). The group wound up in 2007 having achieved many of its goals, principally the completion of the Phoenix Trail cycle path from Princes Risborough to Thame with onward links to Oxford. This was ultimately a Sustrans project but Cathy's particular contributions to cycling of all kinds deserve recognition.
She was the major campaigner in lobbying the local council to construct: Cycle lanes on busy stretches of roads, the layout of routes especially to schools, cycle parking in the shopping areas and crossing points on busy intersections.
Cathy continues to campaign tirelessly for: for improvements to cycling facilities in the town – parking, cycle lanes, speed limits. She also promotes cycling to school in all 4 schools in the town and organises events for women (especially middle aged ones!) to dust off their bicycles and have a go. She is lobbying to establish a cycle link between Thame and the railway station at Haddenham (across two counties so it is hard to find a 'sponsor').
Cathy never accepts 'second best' or gives up a fight. She manages to put endless energy into her cycling campaigns on top of working as a supply teacher and caring for her family.

LLM Degree Requirements
The International Legal Studies LLM program is designed to meet the growing demand for lawyers trained in global legal issues. The program's flexible structure enables students to shape a course of study that fits their personal goals and interests.
To earn the LLM degree, students must complete:
- At least 24 credit hours with a grade point average of 2.0 or better. Students can complete the degree in either two or three semesters. Students studying under an F1 or J1 visa maintain full-time enrollment (8 credits) during the normal academic year (fall and spring semesters). Students may choose an area of specialization in which 12 of the 24 credits are designated towards a specific concentration. More information on areas of specialization.
- Required Courses: During their first semester, graduates of non-common law programs are required to take American Legal Institutions, a two-part class that covers substantive U.S. law (2 credits) and Legal Research and Writing (2 credits). These courses introduce students to the U.S. legal system and U.S. legal writing.
- LLM Graduation Requirement: To qualify for graduation, all LLM candidates must either complete the Practical Skills Graduation Track or Research Graduation Track.
- Research Track: LLM candidates in the Research Track must complete 2 research papers that demonstrate a high degree of skill in legal scholarship and writing. These papers may be written for a WCL course or through an independent study writing project under the supervision of a WCL faculty member. Papers must be at least 20 pages long. The research papers completed for the Legal Research and Writing component of American Legal Institutions (LAW-580-002) constitute one of the required research papers. If a student chooses to specialize there may be additional requirements for the specialization. Students should speak to their academic advisor about the specialization requirements.
- Practical Skills Track: LLM candidates in the Practical Skills Track must complete a legal externship for academic credit during their studies. Students will also have to complete 1 research paper. The research papers completed for the Legal Research and Writing component of American Legal Institutions (LAW-580-002) constitute one of the required research papers. If a student chooses to specialize there may be additional requirements for the specialization. Students should speak to their academic advisor about the specialization requirements.
NOTE: International students may not register for an externship until the second semester of the LLM program and must choose the Practical Skills Track by the end of the add/drop period in their final semester.
Students are automatically placed in the Research Track and may change their graduation track at any time before the end of the add/drop period during their final semester. A graduation track can only be changed once. In order to switch to the Practical Skills Track, students must submit a completed LLM Externship Contract to the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS). For more detailed information about each graduation track, please view the LLM graduation requirement policies.
- English for Lawyers: Students with a TOEFL score below 580 (237 CBT and 93 IBT) are required to take English for Lawyers, though it is recommended for all students who wish to improve their English skills. This non-credit course is taught in conjunction with LAW 580-002 (Legal Research and Writing). The two courses share the same content base and complement each other with coordinated writing assignments. The English for Lawyers course is designed to enhance students' English language proficiency in a U.S. legal context. This course has been instrumental in enabling students with limited English language experience to maximize their educational experience at WCL. More information can be found here!

CamdogXIII - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThose units better have a lot of RAM if they are using ZFS Dedupe (roughly 5GB for every 1TB stored) Reply
DanNeely - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkThese're enterprise products, I think we can safely assume no expense has been spared in finding ways to drive the sticker price up. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, July 14, 2014 - link16GB of ram on both the 6 bay tower, and 12 bay rackmount boxes. Can't tell if they're upgradable to use more ram. The I3/Xeon processors powering them are capable of more unless hobbled by only 2 ram slots. The real soaking appears to be from software licensing costs though: ~$100/300/1000 per desktop/vm/physical server backed up. Reply
CamdogXIII - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIt's always the licensing that gets you! Crazy expensive just for permission to use a product. Reply
piroroadkill - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkJesus! Really? That's a hell of a RAM requirement. Reply
r3loaded - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIt is if you want to dedup with ZFS. Personally, I don't feel it's usually worth it unless you're dealing with a ton of very similar data. It usually makes more sense to buy more storage than to buy mroe RAM. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIt is. IIRC WHSv1 was only able to make it work on low end hardware by limiting it to their backup tool instead of the FS and having the client PCs do all the heavy work of computing zillions of hashes.
Since the main gain from dedupe on a many machine backup box is from eliminating numerous copies of OS/application binaries, I wonder if going from block to file level dedupe would keep a large portion of the benefit at substantially lower resource requirements. Probably a theoretical question more than anything else, since I suspect the level of change involved means that even if it did pay off it'd need to be a new FS instead of a ZFS enhancement. Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkIt's not nearly that high; it all depends on on unique your data is. The more unique your data, the more space needed in the DDT (one entry per unique block), and thus the more RAM you need. If your data is mostly duplicates, the DDT will be fairly small, and you won't need a lot of RAM. The "rule-of-thumb" has been 1 GB of RAM per TB of unique data in your pool for a long time now.
Obviously, if your data is so unique that you need oodles of RAM to support dedupe ... you shouldn't be running dedupe. :)
We have several backups servers running ZFS and dedupe. Home-built systems using SuperMicro chassis and motherboards, and LSI HBAs. A hell of a lot less expensive than the turnkey options like the NetGEAR thing.
The largest one has 128 GB of RAM and 120 TB of of storage in the pool. Dedupe ratio of 1.82, compress ratio of 1.35, for a combined disk space savings of 2.38x. This is the off-site replication box that all the others send snapshots to.
The next largest has 64 GB of RAM and 45 TB of storage. Dedupe ratio of 2.68, compression ratio of 1.64, for a combined disk savings of 4.26x.
In comparison, we have another backups box with 64 GB of RAM and 45 TB of storage without dedupe. Compression ratio is only 1.51.
And our last box has 64 GB of RAM and 75 TB of storage without dedupe. Compression ratio is only 1.14.
None of them run out of RAM or ARC/L2ARC. And, between the 2 main backups system keep over 250 remote servers (over half at the other end of an ADSL or E10 link) backed up every night. As we run diskless Linux workstations in the schools, this effectively backs up over 5000 desktops every night.
The only time we had issues was when we ran them with only 16-24 GB of RAM. Once we got above 32 GB, all our dedupe-related issues went away. The only reason the off-site replication box has 128 GB in it is to future-proof it as we add more storage shelves each summer. Reply
CamdogXIII - Monday, July 14, 2014 - linkI don't personally have any real-world experience with ZFS's Dedupe specifically for how many warnings and cautionary tales I've seen. Might have to look into it again as we have a couple ZFS devices at work.
I found this was an interesting read regarding Dedup requirements: http://constantin.glez.de/blog/2011/07/zfs-dedupe-...
Obviously you have some bad ass storage hardware that makes me jealous :-) Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - linkNothing too fancy, it's all off-the-shelf parts. And amazingly inexpensive for what we get (our first storage box 7-odd years ago using 24 harddrives was just shy of $20,000 CDN; our latest multi-node setup with 45 drives came in under $15,000 CDN.)
SuperMicro SC826 2U chassis (24x 2.5" drive bays) for the head unit, using SuperMicro H8DGi-F6 motherboard, AMD Opteron CPUs, and LSI 9211-8e SAS/SATA controllers. 2x SSDs for the OS and SLOG, connected to the onboard SAS controller. 2x SSDs for L2ARC.
SuperMicro SC846EL2-JBOD (45x 3.5" drive bays) for the storage shelves. Currently, 1 shelf per SAS controller, as we're expanding it as needed every other year or so, instead of building it out as a massive storage setup from the get-go. The biggest box has 2 shelves now. One of the other boxes has only 1 shelf.
The other two, older, storage boxes are just SuperMicro SC846 (24x 3.5" drive bays). Each with 2x SSDs for the OS and L2ARC. Same motherboard, CPU, RAM, and controllers (9211-8i). Reply

Topic: NEW TO DZ
Thank all of you so much for your replies and advice it was very much appreciated! I was told today that my father also has 6 lymp nodes that are enlarged as well (the largest is 2.7x 2.2,) the surgical oncologist said that he is 100% sure that it is mets from the liver but they haven't done a PET or any tests on the lymp nodes. I don't see how he can be so sure. We are scheduled to see Dr Mandaine on Monday and we are very hopeful that he may have a few more alternatives. As for any other treatments please school me ,I am looking into the ones ya'll have posted so far to gain more knowledge on them. I will be in touch soon it feels good to have someone to speak to about this that knows what we are going through. I will post next time on the experiences page, sorry I didn't realize I posted on the wrong page!!Thanks again to all of you, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families as well.

Some previous experience working with Flash Media Server is recommended. Prior knowledge of web design concepts and using HTML to play Flash video online is helpful.
This article is the sixth in a series of beginning-level tutorials about Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5. This particular tutorial gets you started using Flash Media Server 4.5 to stream video over HTTP, rather than the RTMP standard used to this point in the series, and how to use both the HTTP and RTMP protocols to stream videos that target a device's bandwidth limitations using multi-bitrate manifest files.
Here are all of the articles in the series (links will become active as the articles are published):
In many respects, HTTP Dynamic Streaming (called HDS for the rest of this article) is Adobe's response to Apple's Adaptive Bitrate Streaming and Microsoft's IIS Smooth Streaming technologies. Common to all three is the ability to deliver media through HTTP Internet connections and deliver the media file best suited to the user's current bandwidth. An Android device has seriously less bandwidth available to it than a PC with an Ethernet cable plugged into it. The end result is smooth media playback on a multitude of devices ranging from smartphones to desktop computers.
To understand how HDS works, step away from the technology and consider the following imaginary scenario:
ABC Video Services has just completed work on a one-minute video and, instead of using a video cassette to package the tape, the boss, Pete, has a brainstorm. "How about we forget about cassettes," says Pete, "and deliver the video to the user in a more efficient manner?"
The guys in the studio are a bit taken aback by this radical idea because everyone knows "this is the way we have always done it." Pete is not accepting this argument and makes the following case:
"Why not cut the tape into ten six-second pieces and feed them, sequentially, into the device playing the video?"
Sam, who is a bit of a traditionalist, thinks this is a really dumb idea, but Pete is his boss, so he doesn't want to say so. He thinks about it for a minute and has a rebuttal he thinks will kill this idea in its tracks. "Pete," he says, "that sounds interesting, but it won't work. The client is going to get a bunch of tape strips that all look the same. How do we know the client won't mess up the order of the tape pieces?"
"Really easy," says Pete. "We give the customer a file that tells the device which strip gets played at what time. All we have to do is to package up that file and the strips and send it to the client. All the client has to do is open the instruction file, read it, and everything else goes as planned."
That is not how HDS was born, but it captures the essence of the technology.
So how does HDS relate to Pete's idea? HDS is made possible by the Apache modules that you installed along with Flash Media Server (FMS). In this case, FMS serves as a packager to create content fragments that are served up by Apache, over HTTP, to a Flash-compatible video player. To deal with Sam's objection, another file called a manifest, with the F4M extension, is also created through this same process. Basically, the video being requested is first sliced into a number of fragments to be served as segment files using the F4F extension. Fragments themselves do not have an extension. A manifest contains the basic video information, the location of each fragment, and, most important of all, the order in which these fragments are to be streamed into the user's device.
Where does FMS 4.5 fit into this process if the whole thing is streaming through an HTTP connection? Flash Media Server 4.5 contains two types of real-time packaging: live and Just-In-Time (JIT). In either case, the manifest and F4F files are created upon request and sent over HTTP to the client for playback. For example, if Sam has a smartphone and wants to watch the video he just edited, all he needs to do is to open his device's browser and go to the web page containg the SWF file for the video. When the SWF file opens, it simply requests the F4M manifest file, which starts the fragments flowing into the device's browser in the proper order.
Being the contrarian he is, Sam immediately sees an issue with this scenario. "Guys, I'm on a 3G network. It's slow; I don't have the bandwidth you guys have with an Ethernet connection. This is going to be a bad experience."
Thankfully, Pete is there. "Sam," says Pete, "settle down. That is a non-issue. The manifest is going to hand the playlist off to the SWF file, which will check your connection and, if your bandwidth is low, check the manifest and grab the specific video files optimized to that bandwidth. We call it 'multi-bitrate streaming,' and you are going to love it."
Speaking of which, it's time to show Sam some love.
Though the HDS terminology sounds rather "techie," the process of creating an HDS application is dead simple:
You may be wondering: "What happened?" The first thing you need to know is that the path is the key. The F4M extension tells FMS that you want a manifest file for this stream. The hds-vod mapping starts the Just-In-Time (JIT) process by pointing to the path on the server holding the files that need to be packaged. Flash Player opens the package, grabs the information it needs around the stream from the manifest, and starts requesting the fragments listed in the manifest that are needed to play the video.
You also may have noticed, if you have been working through this series, that the RTMP protocol was replaced with HTTP. Forget to add "http://," and you will get an error message in the player that essentially tells you, "Sorry, but I can't find what you are looking for."
On top of using RTMP instead of HTTP, the HDS process is a lot different from anything presented so far in this series. Flash Player needs a lot of logic contained in the manifest file to parse the manifest and then play the fragments in order. Flash Media Playback, Strobe, and OSMF already have this ability "baked" into them, which makes them ideal for HDS situations. They deliver on-demand streams through HTTP to Android devices, Flash Player 10 or later, and AIR applications. The requirement for iOS devices is slightly different, and will be covered later in this series.
As one of this series' authors is fond of saying to his students: "Trying to shove an HD video playing on your computer through your device is like trying to push a watermelon through a worm." With the rise of mobile, you have no guarantee that the video you encoded to play in a bandwidth-rich environment is always going to play in such an environment. Mobile networks have limited bandwidth, and I am sure many of you have opened videos on your Flash-enabled devices and experienced that watermelon moving through the worm.
The solution to encode the same video at varying bit rates. In this example, the Waterfall video is encoded with bit rates of 500, 1000 and 1,500 kbps using Adobe Flash Media Encoder. In this section, I am going to demonstrate multi-bitrate (MBR) streaming using RTMP and HDS.
Just as in the previous exercise, you have a number of files to be streamed from FMS. In this case, they are separate F4V files that will be tied to available bandwidth, not the fragments. In either case, you still need a manifest file. The difference here is that you need to create the manifest file that loads the appropriate video based on available bandwidth. That's the bad news. The good news is that a simple manifest file is really easy to create. In fact, I have included one in the RTMP_MBR folder. Take a look at it:
Note: The sample file provided is based upon the rtmp_sample1_manifest.f4m file found in the Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\webroot\vod folder that was created when you installed FMS on your PC.
The important areas here are the
<streamType> and
<media> tags. There are three possible values for
<streamType>. If you are using a pre-recorded video, then
recorded is what you need. If you are using Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE), then you need to use
live. If you are unsure, it is possible to cover your bets and use
<media> tag simply contains the name of the file to be loaded and the bit rate that determines which video is loaded. The logic for all of this is already in Flash Player.
With the videos in place, you can now test a multi-bitrate feed. Navigate to the videoplayer.htm file found in …Flash Media Server 4.5\samples\videoplayer. When the player opens, in the Stream URL area, enter http://localhost/vod/Waterfall_rtmp.f4m. Click the Play Stream button and, as shown in Figure 6, the video plays.
Why HTTP if this uses the RTMP protocol? The manifest is being served from the local web root, which uses HTTP. The videos, on the other hand, are located in applications/vod, which is where media to be streamed using the RTMP protocol are stored.
When you clicked the Play Stream button, the play list in the manifest detected the bandwidth and started playing the Waterfall_1500.f4v file simply because the stream is being played locally and bandwidth isn't an issue.
The process of preparing a playlist for HDS is quite a bit different from the previous example, because you will be creating the manifest file yourself and will invoke the playlist directly instead of instructing the server to create it in real time. In this example, you will be using a tool named "the Configurator" which was installed when you installed FMS.
Though it looks quite complex, just keep in mind you are about to do more copying and pasting than anything else. What the tool does is to add streams to a manifest file or playlist that you can then save for HDS use. You can then play that file in an OSMF or Strobe video player. The end result is that you will have created a video application or project which uses HTTP Dynamic Streaming to deliver an optimized video bit rate over standard HTTP connections.
Note: The M3U8 tab is used to create multi-bitrate playlists for streaming to Apple iOS devices, which will be covered in greater detail in the next installment of this series. Use the f4m tab for everything else.
To this point you have been using the player that ships with FMS 4.5. In this final exercise, you go out to the Internet to use the Open Source Media Framework ActionScript library to stream the video.
Now that you have linked to the SWC file, take a look at the code that uses the OSMF video player.
import org.osmf.media.MediaPlayerSprite;
import org.osmf.layout.ScaleMode;
import org.osmf.media.URLResource;
All this does is import the classes necessary for this example, which are contained in the .swc file.
The next line is important:
var manifestResource:URLResource = new URLResource("http://localhost/vod/Waterfalls_hds.f4m");
You need to point to the manifest file on the FMS server. Also note that this uses HTTP and uses the hds-vod application found in the web root. (While this example uses HTTP, it's imprtant to note that RTMP is also fully capable of using multi-bitrate manifests to intelligently serve video through FMS!)
Now that Flash Player knows where to find the manifest, you need to add the MediaPlayerSprite object to actually show the video stream. This object also needs to be placed on the Stage and its dimensions set to those of the video. It also won't hurt to deal with scaling. This is all handled in the next code block:
var mediaPlayerSprite:MediaPlayerSprite = new MediaPlayerSprite();

The final code block adds the OSMF player to the Stage and points it to the manifest:
mediaPlayerSprite.resource = manifestResource;
Adobe quite strongly recommends that OSMF be used for F4M manifest files because of the complexity involved. OSMF greatly simplifies the use of video within all manner of Flash projects.
This has been a rather fascinating installment in the series. You have been shown how to use HTTP Dynamic Streaming, how to use multi-bitrate streaming with both HTTP and RTMP, and how to use multi-bitrate streaming in conjunction with the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) supported by Adobe and other industry partners.

I have a new article up at Global Comment, thanks Natalia. As always I will get you started and you can finish reading it there.
I have been following the American election keenly and what has most drawn my attention is what has not been said.
Obama and McCain are clearly pandering to the middle class in their election bids, which is based on the assumption that the largest percentage of the population fits within that class designation. While the middle class constitutes the largest voting bloc, this targeted approach ignores the working and underclass.
The working and underclass are invisible bodies in a society that bases value on the ability to consume. If wealth equals power, both groups make up the most economically marginalized group in American society.
This is evidenced by the fact that neither candidate deems it important to address any of their specific needs.
There has been little to no mention about job training, subsidized housing, homeless shelters, drug rehabilitation, subsidized daycare, or access to food. These are issues that are extremely important to those living on the margins.

Spring Meadow style has a sweet sense of garden charm. The main letters are enclosed within a roughly drawn circle shape, and the flowers that are casually sprinkled around it are hand made and relaxed, with white and single-colored leaves, seeds and flowers in the background. The main text has the same casual charm, using a hand-drawn technique that gives a textural edge to the letterforms, and the characters' swashes are curled tight into curlicues. A combination of subtle, soft colors brings life and charm to this style. Customize Spring Meadow labels today!
Note: Waterproof labels are not guaranteed to withstand a trip through the dishwasher because some dishwasher detergents are caustic and may cause the inks to dissolve.

Back-to-back jacks give Tigers clutch victory in ninth
Castellanos, Suarez supply power; Anibal exits early with injury
TORONTO -- The Tigers had pitched through low-scoring games all week looking for late-inning rallies from a struggling offense. Just when their hitting woes seemingly hit bottom Friday night, they found the rally from their rookie eighth and ninth batters.
In the process, Nick Castellanos and Eugenio Suarez might have powered the kind of comeback that can rescue their veteran-laden team from its offensive funk.
"They had us veteran guys all pumped up and screaming like little kids, like we just got ice cream," Torii Hunter said after their back-to-back homers off Blue Jays closer Casey Janssen sent the Tigers to a 5-4 win.
They were two swings in a game and a road trip full of weaker ones up and down Detroit's lineup. They weren't even big swings at that; Suarez said he wasn't even swinging hard.
"That was a beautiful swing, man," Suarez said. "It just felt really smooth."
Given where this team stands, on a night when Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez combined for one ball out of the infield, they were two of the biggest swings this summer.
"Especially with kind of how flat we've been," closer Joe Nathan said, "these are the games that can be the energy lifter to boost us up a little bit. Time will tell, but these are the games that usually turn things around for you."
Said manager Brad Ausmus: "Hopefully we can look at this as a trigger point where we got on a little roll offensively."
It marked the second win for the Tigers this week in their final at-bat and their second come-from-behind rally. Given everything they overcame Friday, they made Tuesday's 12-inning win at Yankee Stadium almost look easy.
For eight innings, the Blue Jays' three-run second looked like a tone-setter. With their own struggles plating runs, having scored three runs or fewer in five of their previous six games, they took some chances and took the game to the Tigers and starter Anibal Sanchez early. That included a run-scoring squeeze bunt from Ryan Goins for a 4-0 lead and a Colby Rasmus bunt single against the defensive shift that didn't lead to another run.
Even after Ian Kinsler's two-run single in the third inning whittled Detroit's deficit to 4-2, ending a 19-inning scoreless stretch, the gap felt bigger than the scoreboard suggested. Detroit went hitless from Kinsler's fifth-inning single until J.D. Martinez doubled to the fence in left-center field leading off the ninth. Though Blaine Hardy and Al Alburquerque kept the game at two runs with 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief after Sanchez left in the fifth with a right pectoral muscle strain, the Tigers struggled to get the tying run to the plate.
"It seemed to have a similar flavor to the games in New York, the first two-thirds of the game," Ausmus said. "But that's why we play nine innings."
Once Brett Cecil sent down the middle of Detroit's lineup in order, capped by a strikeout of Hunter, the feeling was stronger. Janssen had given up his share of damage in the last two months, but he hadn't blown a save since June 9.
Martinez's double got some life started, but with the bottom third of the order due up. Alex Avila, whose 12th-inning homer lifted the Tigers on Tuesday, could only advance Martinez to third with a groundout.
The Tigers needed Martinez and another run to tie. Still, given Castellanos' struggles -- he was 2-for-25 in August, and 11-for-54 since the All-Star break entering the at-bat -- he was just hoping to produce something.
"With J.D. at third, I was looking for a pitch that I could hit in the air," Castellnos said. "Just something I could hit into the outfield."
He got a first-pitch curveball that hung over the plate rather than dropping at the knees.
"I thought I could hit that ball to the outfield," Castellanos said, "so I swung."
Castellanos had barely finished slapping his hands and grabbing a drink of water when Suarez -- back after missing the previous three games with a sore knee -- connected two pitches later and took off as the ball kept carrying for his first homer since June 14.
"I didn't know [it was out]," Suarez said. "I knew I hit it good, hit it hard. I just started to run hard, because I didn't know if it was going to go. After I touched first base, I looked up and saw I got it."
Neither, Janssen argued, were bad pitches.
"Down and away, my bread and butter, and he blasted that thing out to center," Janssen said of Suarez's shot. "I tip my cap to them and I'll be ready tomorrow."
So, too, will the Tigers offense, Ausmus hopes.

Stress :: Meditation
Meditation is a contemplative practice that calms or focuses the mind. Although meditation is commonly associated with Eastern religions, it is practiced in nearly every religion and is frequently used outside of the religion context for personal development and relaxation.
Relaxation Response and Progressive Muscle Relaxation are examples of non-religious meditations used to calm the mind and body. There are many different types of formalized meditations that follow a specific routine. Beginners will probably find these easier to start with because there are rules to follow. Once you become adept at focusing your mind, you can easily create your own routines.
A basic goal of meditation is to reach a mental state where your mind is free of thoughts. Beginners will probably find it difficult to meditate for more than a few minutes without having distracting thoughts entire their minds, but with practice and determination it is possible to silence the mind.
One technique used to help quiet the mind is to turn your attention to a single object, such as your breathing. Breath awareness and breath counting is used in many meditations. Some people find it helpful to have a mantra, which is a sound, word or phrase that you can repeat to yourself. In the Relaxation Response meditation, the word "one" is used as a mantra.
If you want to start meditating to reduce stress or for some other reason, it is advisable to pick one or two routines and stick with them. Set aside 15-20 minutes every day to practice and you will quickly improve.

Public Correctional Policy on
Sexual misconduct within correctional agencies is an issue of great concern for the corrections profession. The commonly accepted definition for sexual misconduct is "any behavior or act of any sexual nature directed toward an inmate, detainee or an offender, by an employee, vendor, contractor, volunteer, visitor, or any other agency representative." (1)
Sexual misconduct includes, but is not limited to, committing or attempting to commit acts such as sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, sexual contact, obscenity, unreasonable and unnecessary invasion of privacy, behavior of a sexual nature or implication, and conversations or correspondence suggesting a romantic or sexual relationship. Sexual misconduct may involve individuals of either sex and may involve interactions between staff and inmates of the same sex.
Staff sexual misconduct violates both federal and state law, including the 8th and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 and state criminal statutes prohibiting sexual contact between corrections staff and offenders. The impact of sexual misconduct in correctional environments is harmful to an organization, the public and offenders as it:
- Jeopardizes facility and operational security;
- Can violate the constitutional rights of detainees/offenders;
- Exposes the entire agency and staff to civil and criminal liability;
- Creates a hostile work environment;
- Destroys trust among staff and detainees/offenders;
- Corrupts professionals by inviting dishonesty and compromise;
- Reflects poorly on the dedicated professionals who work in corrections;
- Victimizes those already vulnerable due to their susceptibility to inappropriate behavior, their history of abuse, and their subordinate position;
- Is illegal in most jurisdictions; and
- Undermines the public support and trust of the agency, facility and staff.
Policy Statement:
The American Correctional Association believes that any contact of a sexual nature between an employee and someone acting on behalf of or in cooperation with a corrections agency with a detainee, inmate or offender is unacceptable and unlawful. It is ACA's position that there can never be "consensual sex" in a custodial or supervisory relationship. This behavior is inconsistent with the professional and ethical principles of the ACA and the corrections profession and shall not be tolerated. ACA promotes the prompt reporting and thorough, professional investigations of all allegations of misconduct by those with the responsibility and authority to handle such matters. The agency's response should include referral for administrative and/or criminal prosecution consistent with departmental policy and state and federal statutes.
ACA recommends that corrections agencies should adopt the following strategies to reduce sexual misconduct:
- Support and/or strengthen legislation making sexual contact with offenders/detainees a felony offense;
- Establish investigative policies and procedures that include the processes for: reporting and investigating allegations involving sexual misconduct; transferring and/or reassigning of staff during an investigation for the protection of the employee and offender; separating the persons alleged to be involved;
- Establish mental health and medical protocols addressing investigative procedures;
- Report all instances of sexual misconduct to the proper authorities for investigation and possible criminal action;
- Foster an environment in which the reporting of alleged sexual misconduct behavior is encouraged and reports may be made without fear of reprisal;
- Establish, publicize and enforce a zero-tolerance policy regarding all forms of sexual misconduct;
- Develop and adopt specific, clear and concise policies and definitions that clarify interpretations of the term "sexual misconduct" and that provide clear direction for the agency's response to violations of the policies;
- Develop policies and procedures that clearly explain the investigative process to staff and offenders including policies on transfer and movement or separation of the persons alleged to be involved;
- Provide orientation and ongoing in-service training to staff emphasizing the zero-tolerance policy and explaining state law, case law, administrative policies on the issue and providing the skills needed to effectively manage offenders;
- Provide appropriate orientation to anyone having contact with offenders;
- Provide intensive training, resources and support for personnel assigned to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct;
- Provide detainee/offender orientation and ongoing education on staff sexual misconduct that includes information on the zero-tolerance policy, how to report allegations, how to obtain medical and mental health services, how to seek relief against retaliation for reporting allegations, and possible disciplinary actions for making false allegations;
- Establish partnerships with prosecutors, medical providers, mental health providers and others who can provide advice, support and direct services to detainees/offenders who are victims of staff sexual misconduct;
- Establish a systematic process for the collection of data that document the number of sexual misconduct allegations, the nature of each allegation, and the resolution of the allegation.
Note: The proposed ACA Policy on Sexual Assaults in Jails, Prisons, Adult and Juvenile Facilities and Community Supervision addresses offender on offender sexual assaults. This policy addresses sexual misconduct between staff and offenders.
(1) Refer to individual state statutes and agency policies for additional definitions.May 28, 2004

Another annual Homestead Festival and another influx of past, present and former Princeton residents tromping, traveling and taking a stroll through town.
How does it feel to be home? Yes, I know "home" is where you live now, but in a strange and almost mystical way, this will always be "home," won't it? I lived in Nashville, Tenn., for 10 years, and "home" was wherever I wasn't ... If I was in Nashville, I'd tell folks I was headed "home" for the weekend, which meant I was going to Princeton. When I got back to Princeton, I would say I was headed "home" on Sunday, which meant I was returning to Nashville. Like I said, "home" is where I wasn't.
But nevertheless, for those folks who grew up here and who get that strange yet familiar feeling when you cross the railroad tracks at the north end of town, Princeton will always be your hometown. Whether you strayed from the area and now live elsewhere; whether you're a returning letterman who left once and now have returned to the area; or maybe you never left at all ... Princeton holds a host of memories that have intertwined themselves with the present and will ultimately touch the future too. Like it or not, there's no escape ... Princeton is in your blood to stay, regardless of where you now call home.
So now that you're back in town, I'd be interested to know what you're feeling. What do you think? You can't help compare the town to the way it was the last time you were here, regardless of how many years have passed. No doubt, you'll be seeing the new and the old. You'll long for what used to be, and if you'll allow yourself the pleasure, you'll applaud the progress we've made. You'll see the changes, and you'll point to the familiar.
There will be moments when you'll find yourself amused with the memories, and perhaps there will even be a time or two when something will cause a familiar lump to form in your throat. As you drive around town, your mind will race through the memories, lingering at times on those you hold most dear to your heart. Tears, laughter, indifference, good memories and bad, "remember when ..." repeating itself over and over again, a stroll up and down Memory Lane that will always a remain a part of who you were and ultimately who you are now too.
And then you'll see the faces ... after all, they're the most important part of why you came. Faces that look the same but oftentimes very different too. Those different faces will match bodies that have changed as well — a few more pounds, a little less hair, receding and graying hair, faces that ironically look like your friends' parents. Hhhmmm ... could it be?
But after a few uncomfortable and nervous exchanges, I guarantee you'll pick up right where you left off umpteen years ago. After all, the heart doesn't forget what you once shared. You'll talk about the "good old days," and you'll be amazed how far everyone has come. You'll catch up quickly, knowing there is so much to learn in such a short time. And before you know it, you'll wonder where the weekend went ... and more importantly, you'll wonder where the years have gone. There will be more laughter, more tears, hugs and promises made to keep in touch. You'll wave good-bye, and inside, you'll wonder how many more good-byes there will be ...
While many have made homes in other faraway places, the annual Homestead Festival gives you the opportunity to return to what's familiar, even if it has changed. It will cause you to remember, to reflect, to reminisce and to recall a place in time that will forever be a part of who you are, regardless of where you are now.
This is your hometown, folks. Enjoy every minute, every face, every word. Embrace it for safe-keeping in your heart. Have a great time ... And please, let me be the first to say it ... Welcome Home!

Each and every one of the living beings on Earth are created with miraculous and amazing features. One of the evidences revealing Allah's flawless artistry of Creation is the water bird known as the western grebe.
The Western Grebe performs a spectacular display, sometimes referred to as the "Rushing Ceremony" and the "Weed Ceremony". During the Rushing Ceremony, two birds swim side by side and then lunge forward with the body completely out of water to run rapidly across the water for up to 20 meters. Their wings are lifted but not extended. The run ends with a dive. The Weed Ceremony occurs late in pair-formation. The grebes usually stare at one another while in an erect posture with the crest raised and bill held nearly horizontal. As the display proceeds, the posture becomes more rigid. From this neck-stretched posture, one or both of the grebes suddenly dives to return to the surface with weeds still in the erect posture. When both grebes have weeds, they approach each other with feet churning the water to rise into a vertical posture with most or all of their bodies out of water. Their necks are outstretched and their bills raised above the horizontal. The grebes move slowly forward, sometimes spiraling, while their heads rotate from side to side. The display ends when one grebe discards its weeds .
No doubt our Almighty Lord, Who is infinitely wise, compassionate and merciful, creates such flawless aesthetics and beauty in these birds and grants the systems in their bodies allowing them to perform the spectacular displays they are renowned for .
He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
