Supermax Prisons: A Book Talk with Dr. Keramet Reiter
Thursday, November 10, 2016 • 1:40–2:55pm
New Building Student Dining Hall East
Dr. Keramet Reiter is an assistant professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society and at the School of Law at the University of California, Irvine. She received her JD and PhD in Jurisprudence and Social Policy from the University of California, Berkeley and a master's degree in Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York. She studies prisons, prisoners' rights, and the impact of prison and punishment policy on individuals, communities, and legal systems.
Her latest book is titled 23/7: Pelican Bay Prison and The Rise of Long-Term Solitary Confinement. Originally meant to be brief and exceptional, solitary confinement in U.S. prisons has become long-term and common. Prisoners in solitary spend twenty-three hours a day in featureless cells, with no visitors or human contact for years on end. They are held entirely at administrators' discretion, with no judges or juries involved. In 23/7, legal scholar Keramet Reiter tells the history of an original "supermax," California's Pelican Bay State Prison, where extreme conditions sparked statewide hunger strikes in 2011 and 2013-—the latter involving nearly 30,000 prisoners. Reiter describes how the Pelican Bay prison was created—with literally no legislative oversight—as a panicked response to the perceived rise of black radicalism in California prisons in the 1970s. Through stories of gang bosses, small-time parolees, and others, she portrays the arbitrary manner in which prisoners are chosen for solitary confinement, held for years, and routinely released directly onto the streets. Here we see the social costs and mental havoc of years in isolation. The product of fifteen years of research in and about prisons, this book is instant required reading on a topic that increasingly commands national attention.
After the book talk, there will be a book raffle. Dr. Reiter will be available for book signing.
Refreshments will be served at this event.

John F. Timoney (1948-2016) rose through the ranks of the New York Police Department to become Chief of Department and then First Deputy Commissioner under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton (1994-1996). He was later Police Commissioner in Philadelphia and Chief of Police in Miami. Chief Timoney was also a John Jay College alumnus, graduating in 1974 with a degree in History. In 2010, I sat with John Timoney for an oral history interview, during which he discussed his career in the NYPD and the transformation of the department under Bratton, especially the introduction of Compstat. Read this interview in our Digital Collections.

In last Fall's Classified Information, I reported on our acquisition of The Records of the Fortune Society. Since that time, the Fortune Society gifted more records to the Library and the collection is now 80 linear feet of records. In accessioning the collection, we have been finding many gems in the collection which were on exhibit at the event celebrating the gift, on April 11, and will soon be displayed in the Library. We thank David Solomon, Sherrie Goldstein and JoAnn Page and everyone at the Fortune Society for making this gift happen.
David Rothenberg standing with staff and a supporter outside the Fortune Store, which sold prisoner-made objects. The store opened in 1969 and closed in 1973 when the NY-DOC no longer allowed the sale of prisoner-made items.
Fortune News, December 1973 featuring drawing by Gary McGivern, then incarcerated at Green Haven Prison; his papers are in the Lloyd Sealy Library.
In the 1990s we received a gift of The Records of the International Association of Women Police (IAWP). In March 2016 we received an additional 38 linear feet of records which had been previously stored at the University of Illinois Archives. This gift fills many gaps in the history of the IAWP, which celebrated their centennial in 2015. An unexpected surprise was that the boxes also contained the papers of two previous IAWP presidents, Dr. Lois Lundell Higgins, IAWP president 1956-1964 and Felicia Shpritzer, IAWP President 1972-1976. We will be processing and describing this collection over the next months. We thank IAWP Historian, Georgina Bellamy and U. Illinois Archivist April Anderson for facilitating the transfer of this important collection.
Lieutenant Felicia Shpritzer's papers document her 34 years of service in the NYPD. Included in these papers are documents related to her successful lawsuit against the NYPD to allow women to sit for the sergeant's exam. Lt. Shpritzer also has an early John Jay College connection; she earned a MA in Police Science at the College of Police Science at Baruch College.
The police give in, name 2 women sergeants. (1965, Mar 13). From New York Times (1923-Current File) (Link).
Dr. Lois Lundell Higgins was a criminologist and policewoman with a long career in many Chicago criminal justice agencies. Her papers document her life, her extensive work in youth crime and drug abuse prevention, as well as her editorial work on Chicago Police Department publications. It must be in the latter role that she acquired 50 rare photographs and hundreds of large format negatives of the Chicago Police Department dating from the early 20th century through the 1960s.

In January, 2016, John Jay professor Elizabeth 'Zabby' Hovey and I met in San Francisco Bay Area to review her father's papers, The Scott Hovey Papers, 12 boxes of which arrived to the library later in the month. Scott Hovey's papers relate to his work in setting up early electronic systems and computer programs to facilitate communications and emergency response. The bulk of the papers document Hovey's administrative and programming work on emergency response systems which integrate all first responder agencies and immediately identify a caller's location, a concept he called "Enhanced 911" or "E-911." These files document the implementation of E-911 for the city of Saint Louis, MO and Alameda County in California. We will be processing and describing these papers over the next months. A May 2013 Oral History interview with Scott Hovey by Jeffrey Kroessler is in the final stage of processing and will soon be available on our digital collections. We thank the Hovey family for donating this important collection.
Digitization Update
The Special Collections has been moving ahead on our project Digitizing Policing project, also reported upon in our last Classified Information. Nearly all of the images in the Joseph P. Riccio Jr. Collection of Historical Police Images are now fully cataloged and digitally available (jjay.cc/ricciocollection). We have created a new website for Law Enforcement News (lib.jjay.cuny.edu/lawenforcementnews) to allow readers to follow the progress of digitization of this serial.
At present, the 1975–1985 issues are available on the Internet Archive; individual issues are linked from this page. While table of contents are indexed for most issues (1981–2005) on Criminal Justice Periodicals Index, we have decided to feature the interviews with police and criminal justice executives which regularly appeared in the 'centerfold' of every issue. Metadata has been added in the form of searchable subject headings on the interviewees and agencies featured in each issue. These interviews as well as the other articles allows readers to follow details and frank discussion over three decades of development and change in criminal justice. The entire run of Law Enforcement News will be fully digitally available by the end of June. We are regularly uploading collections and items to our digital collections. Follow this link for a full list of collections: jjay.cc/digcoll.
New Special Collections Room Update
Contractors have been hard at work building the suite of rooms south of the Haaren Hall atrium which will eventually be our new Special Collections Room. We have been discussing and planning this room for more than a decade, and it is exciting to watch it take shape. We look forward to our grand opening, perhaps by the end of 2016. We thank Marc Harary and Kishel John for managing this project.

A new tool to help prospective authors choose a journal, thinkchecksubmit.org, has been developed by a consortium of reputable publishers and scholarly communication non-profits. Rather than credentialing journals to trust and which to avoid, think check submit encourages authors to use a checklist and trust their own judgement as to the appropriateness of a journal for their work. Here is their checklist:
- Do you or your colleagues know the journal?
- Have you read any articles in the journal before?
- Is it easy to discover the latest papers in the journal?
- Can you easily identify and contact the publisher?
- Is the publisher name clearly displayed on the journal website?
- Can you contact the publisher by telephone, email, and post?
- Is the journal clear about the type of peer review it uses?
- Are articles indexed in services that you use?
- Is it clear what fees will be charged?
- Does the journal site explain what these fees are for and when they will be charged?
- Do you recognize the editorial board?
- Have you heard of the editorial board members?
- Do the editorial board mention the journal on their own websites?
- Is the publisher a member of a recognized industry initiative?
- Do they belong to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE, publicationethics.org)?
- If the journal is open access, is it listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ, doaj.org)?
- If the journal is open access, does the publisher belong to the Open Access Scholarly Publishers' Association (OASPA, oaspa.org)?
- Is the publisher a member of another trade association?

*Institutional Repository
In November 2011 the CUNY Faculty Senate adopted a resolution supporting the development of an open-access institutional repository (IR). It was further resolved that the faculty — working through the University Faculty Senate and the Office of Library Services — should develop guidelines for depositing materials into that repository. CUNY Academic Works, the name given to the CUNY IR, was launched in March 2015. Representative of a range of scholarly and creative works by members of the CUNY community, the repository now contains over 9,150 papers, including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and student works such as theses and dissertations. With Academic Works off to a successful start, it is time to begin a conversation about what guidelines faculty wish to adopt relating to the archiving and sharing of their works in this new institutional repository.
Brief History of Open Access
The open access movement in the scholarly communications field grew out of the confluence of three issues: economics, ethics, and widespread access to the Internet. Economic concerns related to escalating prices for journals, particularly in the STEM disciplines, coupled with the fact that much of the research published in these journals was government funded, in effect, requiring taxpayers to pay twice, once for the research and then again for access to the research results. Increasingly frustrated by copyright agreements restricting their ability to broadly disseminate their works and by the fact that publishers, not authors, were the ones reaping the direct financial benefits, scholars were inspired by the World Wide Web to find new ways to reach a wider audience. While recognizing the added value of working with experienced publishers, increasingly authors are questioning whether it is necessary to give publishers complete copyright control over all their works. Some authors are opting to publish their work in open access journals; others are publishing in pay for access journals and then self-archiving a copy in an open access repository. (For a more complete, but focused history of the open access movement we recommend Peter Suber's Open Access Overview).
Open Access Journals vs. Open Access Repositories
Open access (OA) literature has been defined as "digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions" (Suber, Overview). As journals move from print format to electronic dissemination, some, including mainstream journals, are now either completely or partially open access. Some appear to be using limited open access as a public relations tool: Springer recently opened up a small subset of its articles to mark National Criminal Justice Month. In addition, a growing number of journals that are not following an open access model are expressly permitting authors to self-archive some version of their published articles on web sites including their institutional repository (see SHERPA/RoMEO, a database of publishers' policies on copyright and self-archiving). To make it easier to protect an author's right to deposit works in an institutional repository, many faculty bodies are adopting policies requiring its members to do so, effectively overwriting any provisions in publisher agreements to the contrary. Luckily, these policies do not appear to have limited in any way the places in which authors are choosing to publish.
Today, Directory of Open Access Journals includes over 11,000 open access journals and Registry of Open Access Repositories lists over 4,000 open access repositories. CUNY is the publisher of some of these open access journals (see e.g., CiberLetra, Revista de Critica Litereraria y de Cultura, Journal of Literary Criticism and Culture, Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, LLJournal, and Urban Library Journal). Using the policies of the Urban Library Journal as an example, it is not unusual for open access journals to unabashedly encourage authors to deposit their works in institutional repositories so long as there is an acknowledgement of its initial publication in said journal.
Some repositories are established and maintained by academic institutions like CUNY's Academic Works; some are focused on data and others serve the interests of a specific discipline. Increasingly popular are the social networking platforms created by for-profit companies that enable researchers to share their work, promote their research interests and communicate with one another. These platforms are neither repositories nor open access vehicles. Key features of open access repositories are the permanence of the posted content and the unimpeded access for all viewers. The social media platforms allow account holders to remove their materials after posting and force potential viewers to create accounts before gaining access to the work. There is considerable debate about the appropriateness of these networks for sharing academic work, the long-term goals of the companies behind them, and the ethical ramifications of using them. Nevertheless, they have wide appeal and do demonstrate the principle underlying the open access movement: the desire to widely share one's work. The chart shows some of the tools John Jay faculty are using to provide access to their works.
Policies to deposit work in Institutional Repositories
As illustrated by activity of John Jay faculty, CUNY's commitment to open access is still in the early stages. Does CUNY, a public university funded by taxpayers and a community of scholars interested in sharing its research with the broadest possible audience, want to increase that commitment? Faculty at the University of California, Harvard, Kansas State, Rutgers and MIT and over 530 university or research institutions have adopted policies requiring faculty to deposit their articles in their respective institutional repositories, as reported in The Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies (ROARmap). Might departments and/or colleges and/or the entire City University be ready for that step? What information does the faculty need to make this decision?

The infamous Pirate Bay and Napster were the first widely known copyright infringing peer-to-peer file sharing services to draw the attention of law enforcement authorities. Music and movies are not the only files that are shared illegally. Academic peer reviewed articles now have their own pirate sites in SciHub and Library Genesis, both of which are currently located beyond the immediate reach of Western court orders on servers in Russia. The scale of SciHub's content theft makes it significantly different from the unorganized informal #icanhazpdf exchanges occurring on Twitter. A significant part of SciHub's operation is to use the "donated" sign-on credentials of people employed by or enrolled at colleges across the world to access and steal massive amounts of content from legitimate library-publisher computer networks. This is theft from both libraries and publishers. Libraries make agreements with publishers to enable access to licensed content for our own user groups, and only our user groups, in return for license fees paid for by our institutions and ultimately by our students and taxpayers. Small academic society publishers reliant on subscription fees may arguably be most negatively affected by SciHub, but also threatened are the behemoths of the publishing world such as Elsevier which is currently engaged in legal action against SciHub. The claim by SciHub that is providing open access is diminished by the fact that neither authors nor publishers are giving permission to SciHub to share their content. SciHub will likely eventually go the way of Pirate Bay and Napster — forced to change and legitimize their business models to fit in with established intellectual property norms. SciHub has already lost its use of a .org suffix in a court ruling by a New York District court in 2015. But meanwhile we have a responsibility to educate our students to respect intellectual property and teach them how to access content legally.
You have a citation; here's how to get to the article without visiting a pirate site or using Twitter hashtags of questionable legality:
These easy to use library tools should be familiar to every member of the faculty, graduate and upper level undergraduate students.
1. The "FInd journals Online" tool on our homepage (under the tab marked "journals") to get to either an online subscription to a specific journal, or licensed access to it through a database.
2. Our DOI resolver, for those occasions when you know the unique Digital Object Identifier of a published article. It's part of our citation linker tool – no need to fill in the other citation details, just put the DOI into the relevant field. This citation linker tool also lets you search using the author and article title without knowing the DOI. Get to it by clicking on the "Find an article by citation" link on our homepage.
3. If these tools fail to get you to the needed article, use interlibrary loan. Requested articles can most often be delivered to you within a couple of days, and sometimes within hours. Thanks to copyright law and license agreements hammered out between librarians, publishers, and database vendors, we can usually deliver the needed article as a pdf. We are reminded just how convenient that is on those rare occasions when we cannot find a provider in this country and must send our request further afield. We have generous German colleagues who help us with article requests, but are permitted to do so only by sending a photocopy through the mail. We are of course grateful to our European colleagues for their generosity in sharing their materials with us, and happy to be reminded how much more easily and quickly U.S. libraries can legally and ethically share their resources via electronic communication.
Because so much of the content we provide is not "free on the web," knowing that we must use our proxy server to access library resources when off-campus can be very useful in clearing up those mysteries as to why getting to something works seamlessly on campus but not from home. Sometimes simply Googling an article citation while on campus will locate the article deep in one of our licensed resources, but this won't work from home, as your IP address will not be recognized as being inside the pay wall. (For more about our proxy server, visit guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/proxy.) But the tools listed above should get you to the article you need, from home, as they work well with our proxy server.

Iron Man 3 ended with Tony Stark destroying his armor and retiring from the superhero game andThor: The Dark World's conclusion had the God of Thunder refusing the throne of Asgard, but when it comes to Marvel Studio's Phase Two movies changing the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: The Winter Soldier has easily the biggest impact. By the end of the film nothing in the fictional world is the same, and its impact will be felt on both the big and small screens for years to come. But at the end of it all, where do things actually stand in the comic book movie world?
It's for that reason that I am here to help out. I have put together a fun little guide to navigate you through all of the important consequences that Captain America: The Winter Soldier sets up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What can we expect from the movie's major players in the future? Read on to find out!
It goes without saying, but this feature contains MULTIPLE spoilers, so proceed with caution!
Captain America is a hero without a "home."Captain America is a super-soldier without a real home at the beginning of his solo movie sequel, the character still trying to find his way through the modern world after being frozen in ice for decades, but sadly enough the film actually leaves him in an even worse position than he was in before. While he does have people in his life that he knows he can trust, like Black Widow and Falcon, everything he thought he was fighting for turned out to be wrong and the organization that he dedicated his life to has now been totally obliterated. Oh, and did I mention that his childhood best friend is a brainwashed assassin who tried to kill him many times before completely disappearing? The Winter Soldier definitely ends with the character in an incredibly interesting place, and it should be fascinating to see how things move from here in both theThe Avengers sequel and the untitled Captain America 3.

Vine mealybug (VMB) has become public enemy No. 1 for many California grape growers. The voracious pest can make a mess out of grape bunches, covering berries with sooty mold and spawning bunch rot organisms, ruining the fruit.
Fortunately, North Coast grape growers don't have to worry as much about fruit damage from VMB as their counterparts in California's warmer grape producing areas. The growing season is shorter there, and mealybugs do not have as long to make a menace of themselves.
However, the new California resident vine mealybug and many of its mealybug cousins and scales can have a longer term, more devastating impact on premium wine grape vineyards as vectors of grapevine leafroll, which causes poor color development and non-uniform grape maturation.
Kent Daane, University of California entomologist based at Kearney Ag Center in Parlier, told Sonoma County grape growers recently that the university is shifting its North Coast research focus, looking more closely at the impact of the mealybugs on the spread of the virus, than on controlling it as a pest of fruit.
Controlling it as a vector and not as a fruit damaging pest could represent two entirely different strategies, according to Daane.
The insect ecologist has studied mealybugs worldwide and compared the situation in Sonoma County to the cooler production areas of New Zealand and South Africa where the spread of leafroll virus via mealybugs forces growers to pull out vines every 15 to 25 years due to virus infections.
In South Africa, mealybugs have been recovered up to four feet below the ground living on the old roots of vines that have been pulled out. Growers there, he said, treat for this hidden pest by applying glyphosate to stumps to kill the old roots where the mealybugs are surviving to infect another day.
Daane told growers and PCAs at the Santa Rosa, Calif. grape day that the native grape mealybug and the newcomer vine mealybug are the most important vectors of grapevine leafroll virus (GLR) on the North Coast. The spread of the virus from an infected vineyard to an uninfected vineyard tracked closely with the movement of mealybugs from virus-infected to virus-clean vineyards, he said.
Daane and other UC entomologists have done extensive research on when the mealybugs pick up the virus and how long they can carry it.
A piece of good news from this study is that virus is not vectored by leafhoppers. Therefore, the glassy-winged sharpshooter may cause other problems, but it will not spread leafroll viruses.
However, Daane said phylloxera may be a leafroll virus vector. And that is not good news.
One of the important factors gleaned from studies is that the first mealybug instars are 20 times better able to transmit grapevine leafroll from source vines to recipient vines than adult mealybugs. This could have a significant impact on control measures to prevent virus spread which Daane and others are now developing.
Avoidance, said Daane, is the best way to protect a vineyard from infection. However, this is easier said than done. Starting with clean, certified plant material is a good start. Nurseries in the Central Valley now hot water dip new cuttings and benchgrafts to prevent the spread of mealybugs and therefore the virus.
There is a wide selection of pesticides that control mealybugs, from powerful carbamates and organophosphates to insect growth regulators. The former are quick acting and knock out pests and predators alike. IGRs and other softer materials also control the pests, but it often takes hours or even days for the mealybugs to die. In the meantime, virus-laden vectors can continue to feed and spread the leafroll.
Daane and others are introducing parasites imported from areas of the world where vine mealybug is now established to see if they can find one to control the pests, but again this may be a slow process that will not quickly control the pest and stop virus spread. Daane also has worked with pheromone mating disruption technology. It looks promising, and he worked to get a Section 18 for use of pheromone puffers. Unfortunately, the cost of controlling mealybugs in high value wine grape vineyards would not support an emergency registration. Therefore, Daane is working on a full registration for this. He does not expect government approval until 2009 or 2010.
Pheromone traps are available to monitor mealybug population levels and even dogs have been trained to sniff out low populations of mealybugs.
It is difficult to detect low mealybug populations. Daane suggests the growers and PCAs look for past year damage, honeydew and sooty mold on vineyards at harvest time.
Mealybugs like to feed early on spurs and basal leaves before they go underneath the bark and that is another way to detect low populations. Once they get into the bark of vines, they are difficult to ferret out, Daane noted.
"Train harvest crews to look for sooty mold and small numbers of mealybugs to detect low populations early," he said.
Another telltale clue of vine mealybug presence is ants moving along cordons. Mealybugs and soft scales feed on the phloem and excrete honeydew, which ants feed upon. Ants actually protect mealybugs from predators. The Argentine ant is the most common species in coastal vineyards, said Daane.
Liquid sugar baits have been used successfully to control ants and there are several commercial products and bait stations available.

SETTING: A 1950's diner
(Customer1 is looking at a menu with Customer2, as a Waiter comes to the table.)
Waiter:Welcome to the Rhyme Time Diner, where things couldn't be any finer! Thanks for coming to our venue. Are you done with that menu? How can I be of help to you? Could I recommend the raisin stew?
(Customer1 has a confused face.)
Waiter:If you like shellfish, try the mussels. If you like sprouts, try the Brussels!
Customer1 (To Customer2):What's wrong with this person?
(Customer2 hushes him.)
Customer2 (To Waiter):I think I'd like some pea soup.
Waiter:I'm sorry sir, just something minor. There's only rhyming in this diner.
Waiter:All right, I'll tell you a second time. All your orders have to rhyme!
Customer1 (To Customer2):This is ridiculous.
Customer2:It looks fun!
(To Waiter.)
My buddy Jim will have pea soup, And I'll have ice cream-just one scoop. He'd also like some chocolate cake, We'll have coffee and... uh... the grilled steak!
Waiter:Very good choices, indeed. I'll bring back just what you need!
(Waiter exits.)
Customer1 (To Customer2):I can't turn everything into a poem!
Customer2:Come on, Jim! You can show 'em!
(Customer1 gives Customer2 another look and shakes his head.)
(The Waiter returns holding a tray on his shoulder.)
Waiter:I have another trick or two. Your order is rhymed when served to you. You wanted pea soup, So here's your Bee soup.
(The Waiter hands them a bowl with liquid and a big Bumble Bee in it.)
Waiter:You wanted a grilled steak, Here's your grilled shake.
(The Waiter hands them a shake with grill marks on the side.)
Waiter:You asked for some coffee. Here's your cup of toffee.
(The Waiter pours a droopy cup of tan liquid onto the table.)
Waiter:You wanted chocolate cake, So here's your chocolate rake.
(The Waiter pulls a large brown chocolate-looking rake from off screen.)
Waiter:And you wanted ice cream - just one scoop, So here's your scoop - of facial goop!
(The Waiter scoops a big glob of face cream onto his hand and applies it to Customer1's face!)
Customer1:What IS this?! I don't want BEE soup. I didn't ask for TOFFEE! And what am I gonna do with a CHOCOLATE RAKE! AND we wanted ICE CREAM, not this slimy facial GOOP!
(Customer1 is furious and tries to take off some of the face cream with his napkin.)
Customer1:TAKE THIS STUFF BACK!!!
(Obnoxious Waiter puts her fingers in her ears.)
Waiter:I can't hear you! You know the rule! If it doesn't rhyme, it isn't cool!
Customer1:Do you BELIEVE this?!!
Customer2:This is annoying and it is outrageous. But the rhyming thing is pretty contagious...
Customer1:Look, this place is awful and you're RUDE. I'm not going to pay for this...
(Waiter looks expectantly.)
Customer1:Pay for this...
(Customer2 looks at Customer1 expectantly.)
(Customer1 tries again.)
Customer1:This place's awful and you're rude, I'm not going to pay for this... lunch?
(Exasperated, the Waiter finishes Customer1's sentence for him.)
Waiter:No! Food rhymes with rude! You're not going to pay for this FOOD!
Customer1:(Runs over to Waiter.)
Could you say that again?
Waiter:YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THIS FOOD!!!
(Customer1 takes this as his permission to leave.)
Customer1:Thank YOU... DUDE!
(Customer1, laughing, gets up with Customer2 and they leave the diner.)

No Oregon Sales Tax Or Labels On Genetically Modified Foods
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon lawmakers don't appear to be interested in asking voters to create a sales tax or requiring labels on genetically modified foods. Those bills and dozens of others failed to clear a key deadline in the Legislature last week. Plenty of other ideas are still alive, including gun-control bills, a bill allowing marijuana dispensaries and one banning suction-dredge mining.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Downtown Yangon came to a near halt Monday during President Barack Obama's historic visit to this once pariah nation.
Crowds flooded the streets, workers left their jobs and a nurse even snuck out of the hospital to see Obama, the first U.S. president to visit the Asian nation also known as Burma. The country has begun democratic reforms following a half-century of military rule.
Thousands of people lined the streets for a glimpse as Obama's motorcade headed to the Parliament building for a meeting between Obama and President Thein Sein.
Among the crowd were hundreds of students wearing matching school uniforms of white shirts and dark green sarongs. Many of those on the streets waved American flags and some held homemade signs reading "Welcome Obama."
In a country where most "rallies" traditionally have been government-organized and demonstrations are still relatively rare, the seemingly spontaneous outpouring of support was striking.
"No authority asked us to welcome President Obama. I am here to support President Obama and also to see him," said Soe Nyunt, a 27-year-old laborer who waited for Obama before going to work.
Wai New Yi, 32, was disappointed that she did not see Obama as she waited near Yangon International Airport.
"I didn't even bat my eyelids when the motorcade passed by. I can see the motorcade but I didn't see President Obama," she said.
Ma Than Than Win, 42, wore an Obama T-shirt and held a banner with a picture of Obama and Aung San Suu Kyi, the pro-democracy activist who welcomed Obama to the home where she once was held under house arrest by the country's ruling military regime.
"We have never had the visit of a president from a big country like America. I came here because we believe that President Obama will be a big strength for Myanmar's democratic reforms as he is a world-recognized leader for democracy," said Win, an office worker in Yangon.
"We want him to know that Myanmar people love him and have high expectations of him to actively participate in Myanmar's democratic reforms. And we also hope that he will help Daw Suu in her efforts for the country," she said, referring to Suu Kyi. Daw is a term of respect in Myanmar.
During their meeting Obama and Thein Sein sat side by side in large padded chairs, with the U.S. and Myanmar flags behind them.
Thein Sein spoke first, saying through a translator that the relationship between their countries "has been progressing" and he looked forward to it strengthening in the coming years. He said he and Obama spoke about the need to continue promoting democracy and human rights. He also said Myanmar would continue to cooperate with the United States on those efforts.
Thein Sein expressed "our sincere appreciation for President Obama's vision and support." He also thanked U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her efforts.
After the meeting, Obama made an unscheduled stop at the nearby Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the most revered sites in Myanmar. With their shoes and socks off, Obama and Clinton walked up the pagoda's steep steps. With a gold-plated, 99-meter tall (325 feet) spire encrusted with diamonds and rubies, the pagoda towers over Yangon and is the spiritual center of Burmese Buddhism. The pagoda had been cleared for Obama's visit, though the crowds gathered behind barriers nearby occasionally shouted "Obama."
Obama took part in a ritual often carried out at the pagoda — saying a blessing at a section of the pagoda platform that recognizes the day of Obama's birth, Friday. Obama poured 11 cups of water into a basin, turning to reporters to explain that he was dousing "the flames" of anger, hatred and other vices.
Suu Kyi, the former opposition leader who endured decades of harassment and house arrest in her struggle for a free and democratic Burma, welcomed Obama to her home for a meeting. Now a member of Parliament, Suu Kyi lives in a gated residence with razor wire along the top of the compound's walls. The house is a light-gray stucco structure with a red-tiled roof. The lawn is ringed with roses.
The house has been renovated since Suu Kyi was freed from house arrest in late 2010, with a new roof and freshly painted walls.
Obama thanked her for her "extraordinary hospitality and grace" and the power of her example, which he said "has been inspiration to people all around the world, including myself. Clearly you will be playing a key role in your country's future for many years to come as Burma seeks the freedom and the prosperity and the dignity that not only the people of this country deserve but people all around the world deserve."
As Obama stood next to the world's most recognized democracy icon, he mispronounced her name repeatedly.
Ever gracious, Suu Kyi did not correct her American guest for calling her Aung YAN Suu Kyi multiple times during his statement to reporters after their meeting.
Proper pronunciation for the Nobel laureate's name is Ahng Sahn Soo Chee.
The meeting came after Obama met with Myanmar's reformist new President Thein Sein — a name he also botched.
As the two addressed the media, Obama called his counterpart "President Sein," an awkward, slightly affectionate reference that would make most Burmese cringe.
Note to presidential advisers: For future rounds of diplomacy, the president of Myanmar is President Thein Sein — on first and second reference.
In his remarks after the meeting with Suu Kyi, Obama also lavished Clinton with praise.
Once rivals for the presidency, the two are traveling together one final time. Clinton plans to leave office as soon as the U.S. Senate confirms her successor sometime early next year.
"This is her last foreign trip that we're going to take together and it is fitting that we have come here to a country that she has done so much to support," Obama said, noting that he dispatched his top diplomat to Myanmar a year ago after seeing "early flickers of reform."
Obama told Clinton he "could not be more grateful" for her service and for "the powerful message" that she and Suu Kyi send about the "importance of women, and men, everywhere, embracing and promoting democratic values and human rights."
Associated Press writers Jim Kuhnhenn and Yadana Htun in Yangon, Myanmar; Jocelyn Gecker in Bangkok, and Matthew Daly and Darlene Superville in Washington contributed to this report.

Before we get to the breakdown, a few notes on the Eagles' defense.
This is an extremely difficult group to evaluate because they are outstanding in certain areas (rushing the quarterback, covering with their corners) and just flat-out bad in other areas (consistent run defense, covering with their safeties and linebackers).
The 'D' looked gassed in the fourth quarter, giving up a pair of 80-yard drives. Before those two drives, I thought they played relatively well. But that doesn't matter. It's a 60-minute game, and the Falcons went 5-for-5 in the red zone, conjuring up memories of last year's struggles.
Keeping all that in mind, here's the player-by-player analysis after having re-watched the game:
Jason Babin - Babin did not play a particularly good all-around game. As a pass rusher, he had a sack and two QB hits, but Babin was also called for three penalties - two offsides and a holding. The Falcons had a lot of success running right at him. Michael Turner picked up 8 yards running at Babin on the first play. And he got blocked by Tony Gonzalez on Turner's 15-yard run. The Falcons ran right at him on Turner's 6-yard gain in the first. And it looked like Babin got pinned inside by Gonzalez on Turner's game-winning TD run.
Trent Cole - It's hard to imagine an Eagles defensive lineman this year playing better than Cole played on Sunday. Normally, we talk about him as a pass-rusher, but let's start with Cole's effectiveness against the run. He blew past left tackle Sam Baker and tripped Turner up after a gain of 1 in the second. He and Mike Patterson later stopped Turner after a 2-yard gain. He was unblocked and dropped Turner for a 1-yard loss in the third. He blew right by Baker, dropping Turner for a 1-yard loss in the third. The Falcons inexplicably tried to block him with a tight end in the third, and Cole dropped Turner for a loss of 1. I only saw one run play where he didn't hold up. Cole got caught upfield on Turner's 9-yard run in the first. As a pass rusher, he got one of his easier sacks in the second as Matt Ryan stepped into Cole after Patterson pressured him on a stunt. Cole pressured and hit Ryan, forcing an incompletion late in the first half. His pressure on Ryan forced an incompletion to Gonzalez in the third. His pressure forced Ryan to get out of the end zone as Cullen Jenkins tackled him after a 1-yard gain in the third. In the I bet you didn't notice category, the Eagles actually did drop him back into coverage once, but the play was called back because of offsetting penalties. By the way, Cole played 90 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps.
Cullen Jenkins - He was very active as well. Jenkins made an outstanding play, dropping Turner for a 2-yard loss in the first. He did a good job of getting into the backfield down near the goal line late in the first half, but missed the tackle on Turner. He stopped the fullback after a 1-yard gain when the Falcons were pinned back at their own 1 in the third. He met Cole in the backfield, and they crushed Turner for a 1-yard loss at the end of the third. There were a couple issues against the run though. When Eagles defensive linemen get into the backfield, but don't tackle the ballcarrier, chances are the offense will hit on a big run. That happened on Jacquizz Rodgers' 10-yard run in the fourth. Jenkins also got blocked on Turner's 61-yard run. And he was called for a personal foul penalty on a Turner run in the red zone in the first. As a pass rusher, he abused the right guard and absolutely crushed Ryan for a sack on the Falcons' first possession. He tackled Ryan after a 1-yard run with the Falcons pinned in their own end zone in the third.
Mike Patterson - Patterson had a few standout moments. He and Cole stopped Turner after a 2-yard gain. He disrupted a Turner run in the third that resulted in a 1-yard loss. And Patterson's pressure on a stunt forced Ryan to step up into the Cole sack in the second. Not nearly as active or disruptive as Jenkins or Cole though. Patterson played about two-thirds of the snaps.
Antonio Dixon - He played about 22 snaps and was in the middle of a couple run stops, but I didn't really notice Dixon much this week.
Trevor Laws - Same for Laws. He played 18 snaps, but wasn't really in on any plays.
Juqua Parker - He played mostly left defensive end before getting injured, but I did see at least a snap or two with him at right defensive end. Parker did a good job of getting to Turner on his 1-yard carry in the first. He later read the toss to Rodgers at the end of the first half, but didn't have the speed to make the tackle on what ended up being a 5-yard gain. We'll see if Parker's injury will keep him out. He looks to be better against the run than Babin.
Phillip Hunt - He only played four snaps and didn't get into the game until the fourth quarter. But give Hunt credit. He actually had a couple good pass rushes, and it looked like the offensive tackle clearly got away with holding him. On one, Hunt's pressure forced Ryan to throw the ball away.
Casey Matthews - I wouldn't say he played well, but Matthews improved from his Week 1 performance. Let's start with the bad: He was blocked by the center on Turner's 8-yard run in the first. It looked like he was out of position on Turner's 15-yard run. He was nowhere near the ball on Turner's 9-yard run in the first. He was blocked by the right tackle on Turner's 61-yard run. He was blocked out of the play on Rodgers' 10-yard run that set up the final touchdown. And it looked like Jason Snelling was his responsibility on the 8-yard completion in the fourth. Now, the good: He read the play, shed a block and tackled Turner after a 4-yard gain in the first. He made a good play on Turner's 1-yard carry in the first. He and Chaney combined to stop Turner short of the end zone on a run from the 2. He was in the middle of a Turner stop at the goal line on the next play. He hustled to bring Turner down after a gain of 2 on a carry inside the 10 late in the first half. He made an excellent play in the third, dropping Turner for a 1-yard loss. I'm guessing the coaches will praise his improvement and continue to play him next week against the Giants.
Jamar Chaney - I can't remember Chaney struggling like this since he started to get significant playing time as a rookie. The big play was the 61-yard Turner run in the fourth. Chaney was in position, but failed to make the play. He got off the block of the pulling guard and got one hand on Turner, but that was it. Other run plays where he struggled: Chaney was blocked mostly out of the play on Turner's 8-yard run in the first. He was blocked before eventually recovering on Turner's 9-yard run in the first. He missed a tackle on Turner's game-winning touchdown run in the fourth. Chaney wasn't so good in coverage either: He got beat by Gonzalez for 15 yards in the first. He got beat by Gonzalez on the 4-yard touchdown in the second. The ball went right over Chaney's head, and Gonzalez made a great one-handed grab. He gave up a 7-yard completion to Gonzalez on 3rd-and-4 in the fourth. The good? He and Matthews combined to stop Turner short of the goal line on a carry from the 2 in the first. He tackled Turner after a 5-yard gain in the second. And he stopped Turner after a gain of 2 in the fourth. Overall, not a good showing from Chaney.
Moise Fokou - Fokou played a little more than half the snaps, but didn't really have an impact. He was blocked by the pulling guard on Turner's 15-yard run in the first. And he missed a tackle on Turner's 32-yard catch and run in the third.
Brian Rolle - It was mostly Chaney and Matthews in nickel situations. Rolle only played seven snaps and was not in on any plays. Still not ruling out the possibility that he'll see an increased role in the coming weeks though.
Keenan Clayton - I had to rewind a few times to make sure I was really seeing No. 57 on the field in a non-special teams role. For the second week in a row, he got in the game in a goal-line situation. But Clayton also played as the only linebacker when the Eagles went to their dime package with six defensive backs and three safeties.
Asante Samuel - It seems clear through two games that Samuel is going to get targeted quite a bit this year. Ryan went after him five times and had limited success. Ryan targeted him early on a deep ball to Julio Jones, but Samuel had good coverage, and it was incomplete. He had excellent coverage on Jones in the second on the play that was initially ruled a catch but then overturned. He was playing behind Jones on the third-quarter interception. Samuel's decision to just take a seat on the return when he was face-to-face with tight end Reggie Kelly was pretty funny. The biggest completion Samuel gave up was to Roddy White, who picked up 17 at the end of the third quarter. Overall, he played very well.
Nnamdi Asomugha - Asomugha had a good game too. He was targeted three times, but one of the completions he gave up was costly. Jones beat him for 14 yards on a big 3rd-and-2 completion in the fourth. Asomugha's coverage was good, but Ryan made a good play out of the pocket. Earlier, Ryan targeted him on a 3rd-and-14 in the second, but Asomugha had excellent coverage. Same thing in the fourth when Ryan took a shot at him deep. On the Falcons' final drive of the first half, Asomugha played in the slot on Samuel's side. Ryan was looking for Gonzalez, but Asomugha made a good read, and Ryan made a bad throw.
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - He saw time at right cornerback, left cornerback and in the slot. He played LCB after Samuel went out with the injury. Ryan took a shot deep to Jones on that side, but Rodgers-Cromartie ran with him step for step and broke it up. He later played in the slot and chased Harry Douglas across the field, but Ryan made another good play out of the pocket, hitting the wide receiver for a 15-yard gain in the fourth.. Rodgers-Cromartie dove in front of the pass, but couldn't get his hands on it. Good hustle by Rodgers-Cromartie to chase down Turner on the 61-yard run. He was in a full sprint. Overall he played 32 snaps (just over half) and did a good job.
Joselio Hanson - He got into the game on a 3rd-and-11 play in the third when Samuel was injured and the Eagles used their dime package. Only two snaps though for Hanson, and he wasn't targeted.
Jarrad Page - Not a very good game for Page, who had trouble staying with Gonzalez. He got beat in coverage on the 17-yard touchdown to Gonzalez in the third quarter. But maybe the bigger play came when the Eagles lined up in dime with three safeties on 3rd-and-12 in the fourth. That allowed them to put Page, instead of a linebacker, on Gonzalez. But he got beat for a 13-yard gain on what turned out to be a big conversion. The Eagles have had huge holes in their zone coverages the first two weeks. Ryan hit Gonzalez for a 14-yard gain in the fourth to set up the fourth touchdown. He got behind Chaney and in front of Page. Page wasn't much better against the run. Turner ran right by him on the 61-yard gain. It could have been more like a 20-yard gain if Page had been able to make a play. And White effectively blocked him on Turner's game-winning touchdown run.
Kurt Coleman - He had a good camp and a good preseason, but has not impressed through the first two weeks. Even after watching the replay several times, I'm not sure how Ryan's pass went right by him and into the hands of White on the Falcons' first touchdown. On another play, it was difficult to tell what kind of coverage the Eagles were in, but Ryan floated one over Coleman's head and into Gonzalez's hands for a 13-yard gain. He missed a tackle on Turner's 32-yard catch and run in the third. Coleman had a few good plays, including a stuff on Turner on a rushing attempt from the 1 in the fourth.
Nate Allen - Had to rewind to make sure I was seeing No. 29 also. He got into the game in the third when the Eagles went with three safeties and one linebacker on a 3rd-and-11 play. Overall, he was on the field for three snaps in that same package. The Eagles could really use him if Allen gets healthy.

Joining police means you'll never stop growing and improving. You'll learn about yourself, your abilities and strengths and how they can be put to best use.
You'll also learn how you and your fellow police officers can make a positive difference to the lives of people around you. New Zealanders should be able to live confidently without fear of crime. Together with communities, police help keep New Zealanders safe in their homes, on the streets, and on the roads.
Our job is to enforce the law with courage and compassion. We also work with potential victims, whanau, community organisations, Iwi, businesses and other Government agencies to prevent harm from occurring in the first place.
Police offers numerous professional development and promotional opportunities as you progress. The key areas of your work during your first few years as a police officer will be:
Serving the Community
Your responsibilities will include protecting life and property, safeguarding individual freedoms, maintaining public order, preventing crime, and both detecting and apprehending offenders.
Front Line Duties
On the front line, you will have a lot of contact with the community. You'll learn the routine events and behaviour patterns in your patrol area, and develop an instinct for when something is out of the ordinary or requires your attention. You'll respond to incidents that require police intervention and give public safety advice to the people on your beat. Part of your responsibility will also be to foster goodwill between police and the community.
Investigative Duties
Using your initiative and judgment is very important in policing. You'll be using a lot of these skills while you interview complainants, witnesses and offenders, investigate crimes, collect evidence and give verbal and written reports.
Communicating with People
A big part of your job will be to give and gather information. This will include giving and asking for advice, mediating disputes, resolving conflict, dealing compassionately with victims, and being sensitive to the needs of different cultures.
If you have the ability to communicate in another language this could give you an advantage because it will enable you to be responsive to people from a variety of backgrounds. That said, your ability to communicate effectively in English (through reading, active listening, writing and speaking) is necessary to be successful in the role.
Achieving results depends critically on your verbal and written English skills. You'll need to be an effective and influential communicator who can adjust tone and style to suit a variety of situations.
These settings will include working alongside colleagues within the New Zealand legal system, training at police college and in serving the community at large.
Working in Varied Conditions
Policing offers greater work/life balance than most other careers, but it also means working rostered shifts, including weekends and night work. You'll work in all weather conditions, and sometimes in uncomfortable social environments. While you'll be treated with respect by most people, others may greet you with hostility or contempt. That means you'll need to be tolerant towards all types of people and work in an objective, rational, balanced way, regardless of the circumstances.
For more details, have a look at a General Duties Constable's job description.
Using your Knowledge
You'll have a good working knowledge of the law and your duties. You'll learn as much as possible about how to increase community safety and prevent and detect crime. You will develop your knowledge of human nature and behaviour, and use this knowledge to help you relate to the community you work in.

- Elbow and the muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels in your arm and wrist, to check for tendon and nerve or vascular problems, including pain, weakness, or tingling.
- Neck. (Pain in your elbow may be referred from the nerves in your neck.)
If it is clear that there are no broken bones, your doctor will move your arm around to check for range of motion, flexibility, and strength.
Results from the physical exam don't show any serious problem in the elbow. Your doctor may suggest resting your arm and applying ice at home. He or she may also suggest further tests.
Abnormal results from the physical exam may include:
- Pain in the elbow, either at rest or while moving through a normal range of motion.
- Pain in the elbow when pressure is applied while extending the wrist (in the "stop traffic" position) and holding against resistance, or when pressure is applied while twisting the forearm.
- Tenderness to the touch (palpation).
- Inability to move the arm through a normal range of motion.
- Grinding sensation when the elbow is moving.
- Muscle weakness in the arm, wrist, or hand.
- Tingling when a nerve area is tapped (Tinel's sign) or difficulty pinching with fingers (possible nerve damage).
- Altered or decreased sensation in the arm, wrist, or hand.
What To Think About
Tennis elbow can usually be diagnosed with a medical history and a physical exam. Your doctor may recommend treatment without doing X-rays, to see whether the problem gets better. If it does, no more tests are needed.

2010-11 Women's Basketball Season Tickets
The 2010 Big 12 regular-season champion Nebraska women's basketball team has sparked unprecedented interest in the program following the best season in school history.
The Huskers, who advanced to the first NCAA Sweet 16 in school history after claiming the program's first NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed, sold more than 1,100 new season tickets during a special "March Madness" promotion. The season ticket sales brought NU's season tickets to an all-time high of more than 2,500 heading into the offseason.
Although the March Madness promotion is over, fans can still 2010-11 season tickets right now on Huskers.com.
Nebraska returns honorable-mention All-Big 12 guard Dominique Kelley as a senior leader in 2010-11, after Kelley averaged a team-leading 18.3 points per game in 2010 NCAA Tournament action. Kelley, a Lincoln Northeast High School graduate, has started 98 consecutive games as a Husker and is poised to join NU's prestigious 1,000-point club early in the 2010-11 campaign.
Kelley will be joined in the backcourt by Lindsey Moore, who earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team by dishing out the No. 3 assist total by a freshman in school history. Moore also set an NU freshman record by starting 34 straight games to open her career.
The Huskers, who captured their first-ever Big 12 regular-season title in 2010, also return senior-to-be Catheryn Redmon at center. Redmon was a regular starter as a sophomore, when the Huskers suffered a season-ending injury to 2010 All-American Kelsey Griffin. Redmon is one of the Big 12's premier shot-blockers and could threaten Nebraska's school record in that category next season.
Junior guard Kaitlyn Burke, who started 19 games as a sophomore in 2008-09, could also return to the Huskers' starting lineup after being forced to the sideline with an injury in 2009-10. The Huskers also return experienced contributors in senior-to-be Jessica Periago, a 6-4 center, and junior-to-be Harleen Sidhu, who could be poised for a breakout season.
Sophomores Layne Reeves, Katya Leick and Meghin Williams will be joined by potentially one of the top freshman classes in school history. The 2010-11 freshmen are led by two-time Nebraska Player of the Year Jordan Hooper from Alliance, along with 2010 Arizona Player of the Year Rebecca Woodberry. Adrianna Maurer, Kellie McCann-Smith and Katie Simon will add size and athleticism to Nebraska's roster next season.
Nebraska was a perfect 16-0 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in 2009-10, and the Huskers shattered every school attendance record, attracting seven straight crowds of more than 10,000 fans over their last seven home games. NU led the Big 12 in home attendance during conference games, drawing nearly 11,383 fans per night to the Devaney Center.
Now's your chance to join the excitement of Husker women's basketball and get your season tickets for the 2010-11 season.
The Nebraska Athletic Department wants to thank all the great Husker fans who joined the fun at the Devaney Center this season, by offering a chance to purchase new season tickets.
Prices for the 2010-11 season:
- A-Level season tickets -- $180 (sold out)
- B & C-Level season tickets -- $144
- B & C-Level Faculty/Staff tickets -- $126
- General admission season tickets for adults -- $72
- General admission season tickets for youth/senior citizens -- $36
Please note that although the 2010-11 schedule has not been finalized, the Huskers expect to again play 16 regular-season home games and two exhibition games at the Devaney Center next season.

Submarine duty during World War II was one of the most statistically deadly, physically demanding, and emotionally challenging assignments in the U. S. Navy. The boats had few crew comforts, and war patrols, typically thirty to sixty days in length, were so exhausting that the submarine sailors often got a month of rest after each patrol. What would motivate men to volunteer for this unmistakably difficult and dangerous job? This is the question that The Men will answer using the oral histories of enlisted submarine veterans, a collection of letters of one sailor who did not return, and other primary sources. These volunteers, from diverse locales and backgrounds, ignored the danger, accepted the privations, and exalted in the camaraderie. Their excitement, fear, and humble heroism is captured in their own words; the real story of the undersea war in the Pacific told by the men who fought it. A veteran of the United States Navy, Stephen Leal Jackson spent eight years in the submarine force serving on the USS Los Angeles (SSN 688) and the USS Florida(SSBN 728). Jackson's service included several Western Pacific cruises to the oceans, lands, and ports described in The Men. A lifelong student of American history, Jackson's ongoing research concentrates specifically on World Wars I and II. Jackson received his Master of Arts in American History from Providence College and is currently in the Ph.D. program at Salve Regina University. Jackson has served as the primary spokesperson for a major electrical utility on nuclear and environmental issues. His unique perspective as a onetime navy enlisted submariner, trained historian, and skilled communicator allows Jackson to provide clear and easy access to the fascinating experiences of the men who fought the undersea battles during World War II.Pictures, 1943, Reissue Warner Home Video, 2004, DVD. 40.

BEIJING (AP) — China can curb pollution without sacrificing economic growth, an EU commissioner said during a two-day trip to Beijing to meet with officials and environmental activists.
EU Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik also said that China's serious pollution problems are a business opportunity for European businesses, which have "in the last decades evolved quite far the technological solutions to some of the technology, be it in the water or cleaning up or in the air."
Potocnik said in an interview Thursday he had come to China with the message that you can integrate pro-environmental policies into industrial policy and wanted to "attack the mantra which was sometimes repeated that environmental preservation is stopping economic development."
The past three decades have seen breakneck economic growth in China but little official concern about the effect on the country's air, water and soil. Now the government is under pressure from the public to clean up the country's smog-choked cities and filthy rivers, but it has given no timetable and has yet to make clear how far they are willing to go if such measures wipe out jobs or force factories and power plants to close.
"You can deal with air pollution and at the same time still have growth," Potocnik said, adding that the European Union's strict legislation to combat air pollution had achieved results while the bloc continued to grow.
Inadequate controls on industry and lax enforcement of existing standards have worsened the pollution problem.
In one case that came to a conclusion this week, toxic cadmium spilled into a river in southern China for months, threatening drinking water supplies for millions of people. As in similar cases, it was detected only after residents reported finding dead fish in there.
On Tuesday, courts in Guangxi region sentenced 13 people to prison over the spill into the Longjiang River. The 13 included three environmental inspectors who failed to perform their duties and allowed plants to dodge pollution inspections and discharge industrial effluents containing cadmium from April 2011, according to a report from the official Xinhua News Agency that was confirmed by two of the three courts Thursday.
Zeng Juefa, who was the vice director of Hechi city's environmental protection bureau, was given a four-and-a-half-year sentence for delinquency and taking bribes of 45,000 yuan ($7,300), the report said.

Celebrity Big Bro 2007
I missed the live version of c4's celebrity (note the small c) big brother last night so have plotted my bottom on a big squishy cushion and have decided to watch it. I am finding it all mildy amusing. There is this Donny Tourettes chap swearing and sounding off like a big plum, swearing for England sounding like a 1st class prick (with ears ) I think he's a little bit lashed too, no doubt got sloshed up before he entered the house. I'm loving some of the incredulous looks these people are giving him though – too funny, Jermaine Jackson just looked at him utterly bemused as he said "Hows ya fuckin Bruvva.." or words to that effect…anyhow enuff of him, he's giving the swearers amongst us a bad name!
What's really interesting, strictly from a people watcher perspective is how a group of strangers, z list celebs or not, kind of smile and form alliances and groupings at such an early stage. You can see them all sussing each other out deciding whether to buy or reject the new people in their lives. Cleo Rocos ( a girl who was famous for her knockers) has taken a shine to our sweary upstart…and ooh, look who just walked in, its Face from the A Team (Dirk Benedict) carrying his token big fuck off cigar. He was in Battlestar Galactica too and ha! Mr Tourettes has just been rude to Dirk Benedict he referred to him as Dirk 'Fuckin' Benedict.
Ha, this show is funny – Its a giggle to watch people trying to impress each other; funnier still to see people embarrass themselves too!
Ken Russell (film director) is a character, big fat old boy, lively as anything, 80 odd years old, eccentric as hell, pink shirt ,purples trousers, green embroided waistcoat.
There's a Bollywood star too. Shilpa Shetty good looking woman (funny name) ; but I wouldn't have known she was famous.
There's also Jo O'Meara (S Club 7), Ian 'H' (Steps) Danielle
Llyod Lloyd (Model not very well known at all) Carole Malone (Carole who??) . Last but not least there's Leo Sayer ("you make feel like dancing" – "when I need love") 70's singer, curly whirly hair.
I think I could get lost in a nightly hour or so of this stuff for the next couple of weeks. Yeah, I know, just a bunch of show offs all trying to raise their profiles to relaunch their flagging careers and what not, but sometimes that's when people can be at their bests; when they are hungry with a point to prove.
What does any of this have to do with search and technology? Um..its on the telly and err, just go and do a few googles for Celebrity Big brother and play spot the affiliate marketer site 😀


text: academic school Burriss on Media: Mass Comm. Education By Dr. Larry Burriss • Aug 27, 2012 MTSU MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BURRISS) -- Classes start at M-T-S-U this week, and as nearly 26-thousand students come back to campus, we in the college of mass communication find ourselves facing the perennial question, "Are we a trade school or are we an academic school?" Although the question may seem like mere ivory tower rhetoric with no practical value, in fact, the answer strikes at the very heart of what we do, and how our graduates will shape the future of our field for years to come. And, it could very well shape what you the audience see and hear across all media forms.

GIGLIO, Italy (AP) — More time and money will be needed to remove the Costa Concordia cruise ship from the rocks off Tuscany where it capsized last year, in part to ensure the toxic materials still trapped inside don't leak into the marine sanctuary when it is righted, officials said Saturday.
As shipwreck survivors and relatives of the 32 killed began arriving on the island of Giglio to mark Sunday's anniversary of the grounding, environmental and salvage experts gave an update on the unprecedented removal project under way.
They stressed the massive size of the ship — 112,000 tons — its precarious perch on the rocks off Giglio's port and the environmental concerns at play in explaining the delays and problems in rolling the ship off its side and towing it intact from its resting place.
The pristine waters surrounding Giglio are part of a protected marine sanctuary for dolphins, porpoises and whales, and are a favorite for scuba divers. Already, tourism was off 28 percent last year, thanks in part to the eyesore in Giglio's port.
Franco Gabrielli, the head of Italy's civil protection agency, told reporters that officials are now looking at September as the probable date to remove the ship, taking into account conservative estimates for poor weather and rough seas. Originally, officials had said they hoped to tow it from Giglio's waters by early 2013.
In addition, Gabriele and Costa officials said the cost might now reach €400 million ($530 million), up from the €300 million ($400 million) originally estimated.
The Concordia slammed into a reef off Giglio on Jan. 13, 2012, after the captain took it off course in a stunt to bring it closer to the island. As it took on water through the 70-meter (230-foot) gash in its hull, the Concordia rolled onto its side and came to rest on the rocks off Giglio's port. Thirty-two people were killed.
The captain, Francesco Schettino, remains under house arrest, accused of multiple manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and leaving the ship before all passengers were evacuated. He hasn't been charged. Schettino maintains he saved lives by bringing the ship closer to shore and claims the reef wasn't on his nautical charts.
Relatives of the dead and survivors began flocking to Giglio on Saturday ahead of Sunday's daylong commemoration to honor the 32 victims, those who rescued them and the residents of Giglio who opened their doors to the 4,200 passengers and crew who survived.
"Just seeing this boat has a powerful effect on me," said Albert Karianis, a 60-year-old cleaner from Marseille, France, who survived the shipwreck and returned Saturday to the island for the first time.
"I think about it every day, and I have nightmares," he said.
Hilaire Blemand, the father of victim Michael Blemand, said he came back to honor his son and take part in the commemoration Mass for the victims.
"You always have a feeling of apprehension when you return to where it all started, and when you see that the ship is still there, it is still just as painful," he said.
Also arriving on Giglio on Saturday was Capt. Gregorio De Falco of the Italian coast guard in Livorno, who became something of a hero to survivors after his recorded conversations with Schettino during the evacuation were made public. In the conversations, De Falco excoriates Schettino for having abandoned the ship before all passengers were off and orders him to return, shouting the now-infamous order "Go on board (expletive)!"
De Falco told RAI state television he wanted to go to Giglio to "embrace the victims, and the relatives of the victims." De Falco, who has shied from all media attention since the disaster, said he did so because he didn't want the "notoriety."
"I don't want notoriety for this tragedy. I have always avoided it."
While groups of survivors were arriving on the island — some on specially organized ferries — others received a letter from Costa urging them to stay away, saying there wasn't room for them and that the commemoration was for families of those who died. Those who received the letter speculated that Costa simply didn't want disgruntled passengers speaking to the media.
Nevertheless, some such passengers were on hand.
Violet Morra, a 65-year-old from Marseille, said she had rejected Costa's initial settlement offer of €11,000 euros per passenger, offered in the immediate aftermath of the grounding. Many survivors rejected the offer and are pursuing legal action against the company and its Miami-based parent company Carnival Corp., the world's largest cruise line.
Passengers recounted a harrowing and chaotic evacuation, with crew members giving contradictory instructions and the captain delaying the evacuation order for a full hour after impact. By the time he gave the order, the ship was at such a tilt that many lifeboats couldn't be lowered.
"It meant that our lives were only worth €11,000, just €11,000 euro for our lives," Morra said. "We are still facing psychological problems, and so we have rejected it."
Costa attorney Marco De Luca said the compensation procedures are going ahead "at a satisfactory pace." He said almost two-thirds of the passengers took Costa's compensation offer.
Costa is fighting legal efforts, particularly those in the United States, where damage awards are likely to be higher than in Italy. Costa is challenging the jurisdiction of U.S. courts to hear the cases, arguing among other things that in buying their cruise tickets, passengers entered into a contract with Costa that selects the courts of Genoa, Italy, as the exclusive forum for any claims against the company.
The plan to roll the Costa off its side and remove it from its resting place involves constructing an underwater platform and attaching empty cisterns on the exposed side of the ship. The cisterns will be filled with water, and cranes attached to the platform will be used to rotate the ship and pull it upright. Once upright, the ship will have cisterns attached to the other side. All the cisterns will be emptied of water and filled with air to help float the ship and free it from the seabed. Once it's properly afloat, it can then be towed to a nearby seaport for demolition.
Salvage crews successfully removed some 2,100 tons of fuel last year from the ship's tanks without any major spill. But Maria Sargentini, president of the environmental oversight group for the Concordia, said sewage, remaining fuel and tons of rotten food remain inside.
"Sure, there are still some risks," she said Saturday. "Especially during the rollover and floating operations, there could be some leaking."
Winfield reported from Rome.
