No. 82,045
1. An appellate court employs a two-step test in determining whether a dispositional departure is supported by substantial and compelling reasons. The first step is an evidentiary test: Are the facts stated by the sentencing judge in justification of departure supported by the record? The second is a law test: Are the reasons stated on the record for departure adequate to justify a sentence outside the presumptive sentence? If either test has not been met, the sentencing court has erred in imposing a departure sentence.
2. Expert testimony that excludes consideration of the crime committed should not, as a matter of law, be relied upon by the sentencing court as justification for granting a departure. Reliance upon such testimony could be viewed as an abrogation of the jury's verdict.
3. A plan of treatment of a defendant, as a factor in favor of departing from the presumptive sentence, must necessarily include treatment for the behavior that caused the crime.
4. The fact that victims of the crime of aggravated indecent liberties with a child are absent from the home does not constitute a mitigating factor in favor of granting probation when there are other children of tender years still at home who are at risk and the victims express a desire to return to the home.
5. In a sentencing case resulting in a dispositional departure from presumptive incarceration to probation on convictions of three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(A), and one count of indecent liberties with a child, K.S.A. 21-3503(a)(1), the record is examined and it is held there is not substantial and compelling evidence to support the dispositional departure.
Appeal from Dickinson District Court; JAMES C. JOHNSON, judge. Opinion filed December 30, 1999. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Eric K. Rucker, county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellant.
Keith D. Hoffman, of Abilene, for appellee.
Before JUSTICE SIX, presiding, TERRY L. BULLOCK, District Judge, assigned, and ROBERT W. FAIRCHILD, District Judge, assigned.
SIX, J.: This is a K.S.A. 21-4721(d) dispositional departure sentencing case. Timothy J. Chrisco was convicted of three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, K.S.A. 21-3504(a)(3)(A), and one count of indecent liberties with a child, K.S.A. 21-3503(a)(1). The district court granted a dispositional departure, sentencing Chrisco to 60 months probation. The State appeals.
The question is whether the departure was justified. We examine the district court's findings of fact and reasons for the dispositional departure. (1) Were they supported by evidence in the record; and (2) did they constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departing? We find the departure was not justified.
We reverse and remand for resentencing.
Chrisco lived for 11 years with J.M., the mother of two girls, 14-year-old A.M. and 12-year-old T.M. Chrisco and J.M. were the parents of three boys. The Chrisco-J.M. home in Abilene consisted of Chrisco, J.M., A.M., T.M, and the three young boys. A.M. left home after having a serious argument with J.M. A.M., followed by T.M., went to live with their grandmother and then to their father's home in South Dakota.
While in South Dakota, A.M. and T.M. were sent for counseling because of disciplinary problems at home and at school. (The girls had similar discipline problems when they lived in Abilene.) The girls revealed during counseling that Chrisco had been sexually abusing them. According to A.M., Chrisco would come into her room at night, reach under the covers, and touch her breasts and crotch area under her clothes. A.M. also said that Chrisco put his finger in her vagina. T.M.'s allegations were similar. T.M. told an investigator that Chrisco touched her both on top of and underneath her clothes, depending on what type of pajamas she was wearing. T.M. denied Chrisco ever penetrated her vagina with his fingers. Both girls alleged the conduct took place over a period of 3 to 4 years on an almost nightly basis.
A.M. and T.M. claimed they told their mother about the abuse on two separate occasions. J.M. responded that they must be mistaken.
The South Dakota counselor's report of the girls' story to local authorities triggered an investigation. Chrisco initially denied the allegations. He claimed the girls wanted him out of the house and would make up anything to accomplish that goal. When asked whether the acts alleged may have been perpetrated by someone else, Chrisco agreed it was possible. He said his older brother could have sexually abused the girls, as his older brother had sexually abused him.
Chrisco complied with a request from Dickinson County Deputy Sheriff Erik Bowell for further questioning. When Chrisco arrived at the station, Bowell Mirandized him. Chrisco signed a waiver of his rights. Deputy Bowell then told Chrisco that he had spoken with A.M. and T.M, and he thought they were telling the truth. Chrisco admitted fondling the girls, but only through their clothing. He denied ever putting his finger in A.M.'s vagina. Chrisco specifically admitted to the other acts as described by the girls. According to Chrisco, the acts took place about once every 2 weeks. Chrisco said that he would fondle them for a few minutes, until the girls awakened.
Chrisco's main concern was whether his three boys would be taken from him. At the conclusion of the interview, Deputy Bowell was concerned that Chrisco was suicidal.
Chrisco testified at trial. He claimed he only admitted to sexually abusing the girls because he was promised probation and counseling, and he thought it was an easy way to end the matter. Chrisco denied ever touching either girl in an inappropriate way. J.M. also testified. She claimed that the girls were lying.
A jury acquitted Chrisco of aggravated indecent liberties with a child through sexual intercourse (count I). The jury found Chrisco guilty on the remaining three counts of aggravated indecent liberties (counts II-IV) and indecent liberties (count V).
Chrisco moved for a durational and dispositional departure. He argued that: (1) a nonprison sanction would serve community safety interests by promoting offender reformation, (2) a treatment program was available and ready to admit him, and (3) his incarceration would put an undue hardship on his three sons, as he would not be able to support them.
Chrisco's criminal history score was "G." His presumptive sentencing range was 57 to 64 months in prison on count II, 46 to 51 months in prison for counts III and IV, and 31 to 34 months in prison on count V. The district court sentenced Chrisco to 60 months on count II; 49 months on counts III and IV, and 32 months on count V. All sentences were to be served concurrently.
Under K.S.A. 21-4721(d), a sentencing court's findings of fact and reasons justifying a departure must be: (1) supported by the evidence in the record; and (2) constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure. A claim that the departure factors relied upon by the sentencing court do not constitute substantial and compelling reasons for departure is a question of law. State v. Favela, 259 Kan. 215, Syl. ¶ 6, 911 P.2d 792 (1996).
At sentencing, the defense presented several witnesses in support of Chrisco's motion to depart. The first was Dr. Robert Schulman, a clinical psychologist. He testified that based upon his interview and testing, Chrisco did not fit into the category of a pedophile. When asked whether Chrisco was a danger to society, Schulman said, "As far as I can tell, he is not." Dr. Schulman stated his clinic could treat Chrisco, if the court granted probation.
Chrisco's employer also testified. In the employer's opinion: (1) Chrisco was not a danger to society, (2) he would continue to employ Chrisco, and (3) Chrisco appeared to be a good father to his three boys. J.M. also testified. She said Chrisco had a close relationship with his three young boys and that it would be a detriment to the family if he were sent to prison. A.M. and T.M. did not testify. They asked their counselor in South Dakota to write a victim impact statement for them, and it was submitted to the court. A letter written by the counselor concerning why the girls did not testify in person at sentencing is not in the record on appeal.
The District Court's Opinion
The district court found the following factors as the basis for granting Chrisco's motion for dispositional departure: (1) the victims were no longer in the home; (2) Chrisco is not a pedophile; (3) he is not a danger to society; (4) he is not a danger to children; (5) community interests are served by rehabilitation; (6) a program of treatment is available to which Chrisco can be admitted; and (7) Chrisco is supporting a family.
The district judge said, "[S]omething that is important to me is that these victims are no longer in the home. . . . [I]f the girls were still in the home, I think that the -- I would probably be doing something different than I'm thinking I'm going to do." The judge also said that he gave "a good bit of weight" to Dr. Schulman's testimony.
When setting out the terms of Chrisco's probation, the district judge said, "I believe, Mr. Chrisco, you're going to have to examine yourself again. A jury found you guilty. Only you know in you own mind whether you really are or whether you really aren't. But this I know: Counseling will do no good unless and until, if you are guilty, that you face up to it."
Substantial and Compelling Reasons
The State argues that the district court's reasons for departing do not rise to the level of substantial and compelling. The State particularly takes issue with the two factors relied on most heavily by the district court: (1) the victims were out of the home; and (2) Chrisco was not a pedophile.
We employ a two-step test in determining whether the departure is supported by substantial and compelling reasons. State v. Richardson, 20 Kan. App. 2d 932, 939-40, 901 P.2d 1 (1995). The first step is an evidentiary test: Are the facts stated by the sentencing judge in justification of departure supported by the record? The second is a law test: Are the reasons stated on the record for departure adequate to justify a sentence outside the presumptive sentence? If either test has not been met, the sentencing court has erred in imposing a departure sentence. 20 Kan. App. 2d at 940.
The State contends the fact that A.M. and T.M. are out of the home is neither a substantial nor compelling reason to depart. The State's argument focuses on the second step. The record shows that the victims were not living at Chrisco's home at the time of sentencing. However, does their absence at the time of sentencing constitute a substantial and compelling reason to depart? We think not. Although no rationale was stated, we presume the district court reasoned that, in the girls' absence, Chrisco would not repeat the crimes. We are dubious of such a conclusion. Evidence submitted at sentencing suggested that Chrisco's continued presence in the home prevented the girls from seeing either their mother or three half brothers. Furthermore, questions were raised concerning the safety of the three boys remaining in the home.
The fact that the victims were no longer in the home at the time of sentencing does not mean that they will not be in the home in the near future. The girls wanted to be with their mother and three half-brothers. Under the district court's decision, the girls would not have an opportunity to return to their home without Chrisco present.
Chrisco may have the opportunity to repeat the crimes even in the girls' absence. Chrisco's sons are now arriving at the age T.M. and A.M. were when Chrisco began abusing the girls. The fact that victims of the crime of aggravated indecent liberties with a child are absent from the home does not constitute a mitigating factor in favor of granting probation when there are other children of tender years still at home who are at risk and the victims express a desire to return to the home.
We now turn to the issue of Chrisco's status as a pedophile or sex offender. On cross-examination, Dr. Schulman admitted that he intended to treat Chrisco for depression, not pedophilia.
"Q. [BY THE PROSECUTOR]: Doctor, if he's not a -- a pedophile, if he's not a sexual pervert, or if he is not a sexual molester, why would he need treatment?
"A. [BY DR. SCHULMAN]: That's a good question, and I tried to state earlier, when I was speaking before, that the impact of all of this, the impact of the process he's been through, his veracity being challenged, the strength of the State, the County, the Court has caused him some additional anxiety and depression."
Dr. Schulman testified that Chrisco showed no signs of pedophilia and was not even a "sex offender." The State takes issue with the district court's reliance on that testimony. Although Dr. Schulman's opinion that Chrisco was not a pedophile or a sex offender is in the record, the State questions its sufficiency as a matter of law.
Dr. Schulman's assessment of Chrisco was based solely on the information provided to him by Chrisco. Dr. Schulman's interview with Chrisco was approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Chrisco received additional testing for a similar amount of time. Chrisco told Dr. Schulman that he did not commit the acts for which he was convicted. It is unclear whether Dr. Schulman knew that Chrisco was sexually abused by his older brother or that Chrisco admitted sexually abusing the girls when questioned by police. Yet, Dr. Schulman said, "I did not find any indications of any kind of sexual perversions or tendencies towards pedophilia." His assessment, however, was based on the assumption that Chrisco did not commit the crimes for which he was about to be sentenced. Dr. Schulman admitted his diagnosis would change if he were to discover that Chrisco had in fact committed the crimes. The district judge acknowledged Dr. Schulman's reservation when he said, "Dr. Schulman is basing his testimony, to some degree, at least, on the fact that he believed you."
Favela held that the sentencing court may rely on statements, even those made by counsel, if they are found to be trustworthy and reliable. 259 Kan. at 228. The district court here obviously found Dr. Schulman's testimony to be reliable. In matters of credibility, the district court's decision should be given great deference. See Stoskopf v. Stoskopf, 173 Kan. 244, Syl. ¶ 1, 245 P.2d 1180 (1952). This case raises the interesting question of whether, as a matter of law, testimony that controverts the jury's verdict may be relied upon by the court when sentencing a defendant on the crime being controverted. The State contends that if the district court thought the jury's verdict was erroneous, the remedy is to grant a judgment of acquittal or a new trial, rather than probation as a dispositional departure. We agree.
Dr. Schulman's testimony carried great weight with the district court--to the extent that the district court seemed to question whether Chrisco was in fact guilty. (Stating "if you are guilty" upon sentencing.) The district court appeared to minimize Chrisco's confession and the jury's guilty verdict. To say that Chrisco is neither a pedophile nor a sex offender is to say that Chrisco did not commit the crimes for which he was convicted.
Expert testimony that excludes consideration of the crime committed should not, as a matter of law, be relied upon by the sentencing court as justification for granting a departure. Reliance on such testimony could be viewed as an abrogation of the jury's verdict. The goal of remedial punishment here should be treatment for Chrisco's disorder. However, the district court's decision allows Chrisco to remain at home and receive no counseling for pedophilia or other sexual disorders.
The district court also found that Chrisco was not a danger to children. According to the district court, Dr. Schulman so testified. Contrary to the district court's finding, Dr. Schulman never made such a statement. While there was testimony that Chrisco had a loving relationship with his three boys, there is nothing in the record to support a finding that Chrisco was not a danger to children. Thus, there was insufficient evidence to support the district court's finding that Chrisco was not a danger to children. See State v. Gideon, 257 Kan. 591, 622-23, 894 P.2d 850 (1995).
The district court also found that Chrisco was not a danger to society. Both Dr. Schulman and Chrisco's employer said that they did not believe Chrisco was a danger to society. The "no threat to society" factor was approved in State v. Grady, 258 Kan. 72, 87-88, 900 P.2d 227 (1995). However, Grady "ha[d] no prior criminal history and ha[d] a failed common-law or statutory defense that [was] not meritless." 258 Kan. at 88. We place significance on the fact that neither of those circumstances is present here. The Grady court reasoned that the absence of a criminal record and a meritorious, albeit failed, defense gave rise to a credible finding that "the defendant has no predisposition to commit a similar crime or any other crime." 258 Kan. at 88. Chrisco's defense was that the girls were lying and that he only confessed to sexually abusing them because it "was an easy way out." (Chrisco contended he was promised probation.) Chrisco also had a prior criminal record, including one felony conviction for forgery and four misdemeanor convictions. Under these circumstances it cannot be said that Chrisco has no predisposition to commit a similar crime or any other crime and is thus not a danger to society.
The next two departure factors cited by the district court were that community interests would be served by rehabilitation and a treatment plan was available. Community interests are served by rehabilitating criminals. However, Chrisco may never receive treatment for his disorder under the terms of his present sentence. Thus, the sentence imposed does not provide for rehabilitation.
The district court sentenced Chrisco to probation knowing that Dr. Schulman sought to treat him only for depression and anxiety. Unless Chrisco admits his guilt to Dr. Schulman, he will receive no treatment for being a sex offender. The district judge understood this, as he said, "Counseling will do no good unless and until, if you are guilty, that you face up to it."
The finding that a treatment plan was available is without support because the treatment plan did not include treatment for the crime of conviction. The treatment plan outlined by Dr. Schulman did not include treatment for pedophilia or any other type of sexual disorder. Dr. Schulman's plan was to treat Chrisco for depression and anxiety once per week for a period of months, tapering off to less frequent visits. The availability of a treatment plan, as a reason for departing, carries with it the presumption that there is something to treat (i.e. drug addictions or other disorders). Chrisco's diagnosis had nothing to do with the crimes he committed. His diagnosis was depression and anxiety from being subjected to the criminal process. A plan of treatment, as a factor in favor of departing from the presumptive sentence, must necessarily include treatment for the behavior that caused the crime.
The last factor cited by the district court in favor of departure was that Chrisco is supporting a family. Chrisco was employed for 7 years by the testifying employer. We question the legal sufficiency of the "supporting a family" factor here because Chrisco was convicted of sexually abusing children in his home. Although there was testimony that Chrisco had a loving relationship with his sons, there is no evidence that he was not a danger to them if given probation. While we agree that supporting a family may be a proper departure factor in certain cases, its application is questionable when there is reason to believe a defendant may harm the very children he is supporting.
In determining whether a departure was justified we must decide whether, as a whole, the factors cited are substantial and compelling reasons for imposing a departure "in light of the offense of conviction, the defendant's criminal history, and the purposes of the sentencing guidelines." Grady, 258 Kan. at 89. As a whole, the factors cited by the district court do not amount to substantial and compelling reasons for imposing a departure sentence here because the departure factors ignore Chrisco's criminal convictions.
This is a difficult case. It is important that we not infringe on the district court's ability to either accept or reject the testimony of witnesses in sentencing hearings. However, if we were to allow the district court's sentencing decision to stand, a questionable precedent would be set. Troubling questions would arise concerning what constitutes substantial and compelling grounds for departing from a presumptive sentence. For example, if the district court has accepted the jury's verdict, how can it also accept testimony that wholly contradicts the verdict? Similarly, when using the availability of treatment instead of prison time as a reason to depart, is treatment for "depression and anxiety" a valid substitute for sex offender rehabilitation? We decline to set a precedent which would answer either question in the affirmative.
Reversed and remanded for resentencing.

Swede runners take step forward at Lex meet
Times improve from last week, last year.
LEXINGTON—Swede runners who previously competed on the Lakeside Country Club course know it's not an easy venture.
The hills are challenging and last week's heat added to the discomfort at the Lexington Invite on Sept. 8.
Still, Gothenburg coach Steve Reeves saw his runners rise to the challenge, improving times from the prior week and, more accurately compared, last year.
"I felt like the kids took a big step forward," Reeves said. "I think they answered the bell."
The meet was non-scoring, but medals were still awarded.
Five boys finished in the top 15 putting the group right where Reeves wants to see them.
Andrew Collins came in third followed by Luke Rehmert in fifth and Brett Dockweiler in sixth.
Rehmert shaved 23 seconds off his time on the same course last year and Dockweiler improved nearly a minute.
Bryce Eggleston and Joshua Clark also finished with medals in 10th and 14th, respectively.
"I like their focus and their drive," he said. "All of them ran an outstanding meet."
In the girls competition, two Swedes earned medals.
Senior Tabitha Paul finished 11th and freshman Morgan Kowalewski got her first varsity hardware at 15th.
"I felt like the girls ran well but they need to be a little more aggressive, especially in the middle part of the race," Reeves said.
The Swedes had a goal to bring home nine medals from Lexington, Reeves said.
"We got seven with two kids just outside," he said. "I think it's a realistic expectation."
Beau Billingsly of Valentine was the boys champion while Molly Glur of Southern Valley took the girls title.

Do you have a social media strategy? Does it involve content? Should it?
The other day I drove past a local convenience store that makes most of its profit from beer, Slush Puppies and beef jerky (not that there's anything wrong with that). A big sign out front asked passers-by to Like them on Facebook.
"It's official," I thought. "Now every business in America has a Facebook page."
Unfortunately, few businesses actually have a strategy for their Facebook page, or for the rest of their social media activity. They tweet, blog and set up a Facebook business page out of fear of being left behind, rather than as a way to engage their audience.

The Kansas Department of Commerce announces today a plan that will transition the Kansas Main Street program to local control. The Department announced on Sept. 20 that it was ending the Main Street program at the state level because of expected smaller state and federal budgets moving forward.
"The decision to end a program like Kansas Main Street program was not an easy one," said Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George. "However, in light of our future budget constraints, the Commerce Department must focus on programs that impact the most communities and businesses as we work to expand economic development and grow private-sector jobs statewide."
After the Sept. 20 announcement, the Department began working with Main Street communities to transition the program out of state control. A key part of the program has been the $3.7 million in Incentive Without Walls (IWW) funding that has been used by 35 communities since 1996. IWW funding is loaned to communities to help with various downtown business needs.
Current IWW funding in use by communities can continue to be utilized by those communities as long as it is used for economic development and downtown revitalization efforts. Those communities will continue to submit annual reports on IWW funding to the Department.
"Communities can continue to use IWW funding, administered locally, as long as they continue to stick to current policies and oversight," George said. "I am very encouraged with the communities' commitment and attitude in wanting to continue the Main Street program as a non-state affiliated program moving forward."
"The 27-year old Kansas Main Street program has helped pump more than $556,857 in public/private reinvestment in more than 50 communities throughout the state," said Dr. Beverly Schmitz Glass, executive director, Garden City Downtown Vision Main Street program. "Those dollars helped open or expand 3,678 new businesses which in turn created 8,518 new jobs for Kansans. Through the spirit of cooperation between the Kansas Main Street programs and the Commerce Department, we believe we will be able to sustain the key program elements that are vital to our Main Street communities for the ongoing revitalization of downtowns across Kansas."
In addition, the Department will help partially fund the 2012 Kansas Downtown Symposium, which is now scheduled for Oct. 17-18 in Emporia. Discussions continue about ways the local Main Street organizations can maintain their partnership with the National Main Street program, which is part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Bratton: NYPD Has 'Very Good Idea' Who Put White Flags on Brooklyn Bridge
There Has Been No Arrest in the Stunt Along the Iconic Bridge
New York Police Department Commissioner William Bratton said Friday that the NYPD has "a very good idea" of who was involved with replacing the American flags atop the Brooklyn Bridge with white ones more than two weeks ago.
Mr. Bratton addressed the prank, which some viewed as a serious security threat, on "CBS This Morning." When asked why the NYPD hasn't made an arrest in the case, which has prompted the agency to increase security on the iconic bridge, Mr. Bratton said "knowing's not proving."...

Many years ago, my uncle Thomas (Tom) Phillip Hufford asked me to come up with a word the opposite of predator. Amitor is that word. Ami: Fr. friend, Amigo: Sp. friend, Amity: Eng. harmony, Ami: Formosa, Taiwan. Giraffe: non predatory animal unless young attacked. Butterflies: live, love, laugh, hope. Survive, thrive and inspire others. Pen Sherwood offered to do this Amtor artwork for free sharing the copyright with me for my Amitor concept. Amitor Tom would be so proud. Diana Hays Kisselburg

Fire fighters will be out on the streets of Bastrop asking motorists to help "Fill the Boot" for the Muscular Dystrophy Association today.
Every dollar that passing motorists can pitch into the fire fighters' boots helps Local #1358 fire fighters provide medical treatment and support services to individuals and their families living with neuromuscular diseases in the Bastrop area.
The International Association of Fire Fighters has been a national MDA partner for more than 50 years and remains committed to the fight to end neuromuscular diseases.
"Fire fighters are American heroes who make such a difference for the people and families we serve," said MDA Fundraising Coordinator Christina Griffin. "The funds they raise are used for health care services and equipment support, and to help send kids to free MDA summer camps. We are grateful for everything they do."
Fill the Boot funds also are used to support some of the 300 worldwide research projects seeking better treatments and cures for the more than 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and ALS.
"We know the money we raise definitely makes a difference in the lives of people affected by neuromuscular diseases, and that it helps them get the care they need," said Local #1358 President, Jesse Nicholson. "Fill the Boot is a proud tradition for us, and it's a great way for fire fighters to be out in the community reminding residents that we are here, always ready to help."
IAFF became the first national sponsor for MDA in 1954, and over the years, fire fighters have raised millions of dollars to help improve and enhance the lives of those living with neuromuscular disease. Fire fighters have raised money for MDA through their participation in the annual Fill the Boot campaign, as well as by sponsoring golf and softball tournaments. Many also contribute some of their vacation time each year to volunteer at MDA summer camps across the country.

This utility will let you do hands free installs of Win98 through WinXP. Two qualms I have with this utility:
1.) It seems you can only install Windows using a CD, as opposed to using the Win9x or i386 setup folder copied to a local drive which can be 3x faster.
2.) It requires a serial number be entered before installation of the OS begins, and in the case of some Academic versions of Windows (I have an Academic Win2k and WinXP CD that do not need serials) this is not needed and entering information here may compromise the install.
So for all you DIY'ers I'm also posting the method I use for doing unattended installs of Win2k and WinXP as well. I won't bother with Win98/ME since it can be installed in 15 minutes with today's hardware. For an unattended install, you need two files: an autoexec.bat, and unattend.txt. There are much more intricate ways of doing unattended installs involving the sysprep and setupmgr utilities, but I'll let you read up on them. For a crash course on doing unattended installs for Win2k.XP check out Axcel 216's site . Don't follow his unattend.txt sample word for word as several of the options (notably his autoexec.bat file) have been syntaxed wrong, and quotes do not need to be placed around every answer. For a complete guide with all options explained, navigate to the \SUPPORT\TOOLS folder on your Win2k/XP CD and open the DEPLOY.CAB file (Win2k/XP should have native support for viewing .cab files, if not you can use WinRar to open them). For Win2k you want to read the unattend.doc file in the .cab file and for WinXP extract the ref.chm file. Now onto the goodies...
Autoexec.bat- needed to get the installation off the ground after booting in DOS. I suppose I forgot to mention that, you need a DOS boot disk to do this. You can start this process from within Windows with the winnt32.exe, but again, you can read up on that. Here's the autoexec I use:
format c: /q
smartdrv.exe c+ d+ e+
WINNT /S:d:\OS\WINXP\I386 /U:d:\OS\WINXP\i386\UNATTEND.TXT
As you can see it's fairly simple and straight forward. By typing winnt /? at the command prompt from within the i386 directory you can get a list of all switches, such as specifying a temorary directory/drive for install files during installation. The /S switch specifies the "source" of your Win2k/XP install files and the /U switch specifies where the unattend.txt is located. Make sure you have format.com and smartdrv.exe on your DOS boot disk.

What Bloggers Owe MontaigneBy Sarah Bakewell
The weekend newspapers are full of them. Our computer screens are full of them. They go by different names—columns, opinion pieces, diaries, blogs—but personal essays are alive and well in the twenty-first century. They flourish just as they did in James Thurber's and E. B. White's twentieth-century New York, or in the nineteenth-century London of William Hazlitt and Charles Lamb. There seems no end to the appeal of the essayist's basic idea: that you can write spontaneously and ramblingly about yourself and your interests, and that the world will love you for it.
No end—but there was a beginning. The essay tradition blossomed in English-speaking countries only after being invented by a sixteenth-century Frenchman, Michel Eyquem de Montaigne. His contemporary, the English writer Francis Bacon, also used the title Essays, but his were well-organized intellectual inquiries. While Bacon was assembling his thoughts neatly, the self-avowedly lazy nobleman and winegrower Montaigne was letting his run riot on the other side of the Channel. In his Essais ("Attempts"), published in 1580 and later expanded into larger editions, he wrote as if he were chatting to his readers: just two friends, whiling away an afternoon in conversation.
Montaigne raised questions rather than giving answers. He wrote about whatever caught his eye: war, psychology, animals, sex, magic, diplomacy, vanity, glory, violence, hermaphroditism, self-doubt. Most of all, he wrote about himself and was amazed at the variety he found within. "I cannot keep my subject still," he said. "It goes along befuddled and staggering, with a natural drunkenness." His writing followed the same wayward path.
In doing this, he rejected almost every literary virtue the French were to hold dear for the next few hundred years: clarity, rigour, beauty, and elegance. Yet his rebellious style gave him immense appeal to British, Irish and American authors. For more than 450 years, they took inspiration from Montaigne and his meandering charms.

LARISSA, Greece (AP) — Police in this central Greece city say they have caught a third prisoner who escaped along with 10 fellow inmates after gunmen attacked their holding facility as part of an escape plot.
A police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to brief media on details of an ongoing investigation, told The Associated Press that police consider the arrested individual the mastermind of the escape.
The escape from the Trikala Holding Facility west of Larissa occurred Friday evening. It involved outsiders attacking the prison with machine guns and hand grenades. Two guards were injured, one seriously; he is still in intensive care.
All 11 escapees are Albanian nationals. Two were caught Saturday. All of the escapees were convicted of crimes such as armed robbery.

If you took the sum total of a college student's week - all 168 hours of it - and deducted all the hours spent on studying, attending classes, sleeping, eating, working and other personal activities, you would have left roughly 50 hours of unscheduled time.
Fifty hours. That is the number that shapes Patricia Rissmeyer's work at Emmanuel College.
As Emmanuel's Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Rissmeyer knows from experience that how students make use of that time will largely determine their success as undergraduates and throughout their lives after college. The process of engagement for incoming freshmen actually begins before they officially arrive in the fall and continues throughout their four-year career on campus.
During Emmanuel's summer Orientation program, incoming students are exposed to many of the 100-plus clubs and activities that might interest them as they settle into their student routines. They are guided by Orientation Leaders, a select group of sophomore, junior and senior students trained in familiarizing them with all things Emmanuel. When the freshmen and transfer students arrive in the fall, they again meet with their Orientation Leaders and group mates. They take part in Welcome Week activities such as the annual New Student Day of Service, a volunteer assignment off campus to help them expand their experience beyond the physical campus boundaries and to give something of themselves to their new community.
The underlying motivation for student engagement, Dr. Rissmeyer stresses, is not just keeping students busy, but engaging them educationally, developmentally and spiritually. "We all know in our own lives that the more structure you have, the more you get done," she said. "The more engaged someone is on campus, the more they learn and the more they feel involved. They get higher grades and they are happier people. They feel that this is their place and that keeps them from feeling isolated."
The proposition is simple, she says: "Tell us what you are interested in doing and we will help make that happen for you."
That proposition has produced some interesting ideas, including a women's ice hockey club, a swimming club and even a sailing club. The fact that Emmanuel has no hockey rink, swimming pool or a boathouse on the Charles River hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of club members. The current 54 clubs will change again as some clubs are dropped in favor of new ones and often reflect the interests of the day.
At the core of student life is Emmanuel's philosophy that college is also about discovering what is inside you, what inspires you and what gives you a sense of peace and belonging. That philosophy is expressed on the College's website: "We are big-hearted in spirit, global in outlook and small enough to create individual access to whatever opportunities we seek. We are a community with a strong sense of mission, a vibrant, confident faith and a joyful spirit."
For many students, that mission and spirit is expressed through the growing athletics program, which today includes 17 men's and women's varsity teams. For others, it is found through the eclectic club offerings. Many students find their place volunteering their time and energy in the community or organizing events to benefit the myriad nonprofit organizations throughout the city. Eighty-five percent of Emmanuel students participated in a community service activity last year, some of whom gave up their spring break to volunteer for a week as part of Emmanuel's Alternative Spring Break program.
This past spring, students participated in a 12-hour overnight dance marathon and raised $18,400 for Children's Hospital Boston, more than double that raised by any of the other five area schools participating in the event. Assistant Director of Student Activities Kevin Farrell, who served as Emmanuel Dance Marathon's advisor, said that while the money raised was the primary objective for the event, it wasn't the focus for Emmanuel students. "It was about doing something larger than themselves and making a difference in the Boston community. These students did just that."
"I've never walked away from an event feeling like I did walking away from Dance Marathon [that] Sunday morning," said Kim Masse '13, the overall chair of Emmanuel's Dance Marathon. "It was the best thing I have witnessed at Emmanuel. It was really rewarding to see the whole effort pay off and to witness how the entire Emmanuel community came together to help us."
While it isn't always obvious how a certain activity might dovetail with a student's academic pursuits, there are countless examples of how those seemingly unrelated halves of a student's life form a fully integrated life by the time they graduate. The tremendous growth the College has experienced in its student population over the last decade has led Emmanuel's Office of Student Activities and Multicultural Programs to expand its extracurricular offerings and activities in order to fulfill the student affairs staff's commitment to meet students more than halfway.
Aside from having more students on campus, Emmanuel now attracts many more students from outside of New England. The effect of that change is that more students remain on campus during the weekends than ever before and the demand for on-campus activities during the weekend is also the highest it has ever been. In the last academic year, there were 110 weekend programs or activities offered.
In the summer of 2001, as the College prepared to welcome its first coed class to campus, Emmanuel hired Associate Dean Dan Darcy to lead its Student Activities department. Enthralled by the energy of the student body and the longstanding tradition of student engagement, Darcy embraced his new responsibilities.
"When I met with students who hadn't signed up for an activity or a club, I told them 'my role here is to get you involved in one activity,'" said Darcy.
Darcy recalled convincing four of those students who had yet to find something of interest to run for seats in the Student Government Association (SGA). All four lost those bids, but each went on to become campus leaders and some of the most engaged students on campus.
His work is shared with Kelly Dunn '05, Emmanuel's Director of First-Year Experience, whose job is to assist incoming students with the transition into college life. She oversees the College's Orientation programming and a mentor program, Student Adjustment Guided Effectively (S.A.G.E.), offered to all first-year and transfer students interested in maximizing their first semester on campus. Participants are paired with returning Emmanuel students who are trained to help them navigate the many academic, co-curricular and social opportunities available.
Dunn's efforts have one goal: Helping students get connected as soon as possible in order to start college off on the right foot.
"We're honest with them," she said of incoming students. "We tell them, 'This is going to be great, you are going to love it here, but it is going to be hard at first and these are the challenges you are going to face.'"
Dunn was part of that first coeducational class at Emmanuel, after transferring in during her sophomore year. The difference in the campus in less than a decade is noticeable, she said. "There is even more activity now than when I was here as a student, which is amazing given all the opportunities I had to be involved."
Dr. Rissmeyer relates a story about a trip to Washington, D.C. offered last year that speaks to the Emmanuel way of making things happen for students. When Associate Professor of Art Cynthia Fowler approached her about financing travel expenses for a class trip to the Capitol to visit the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, at first it appeared there simply weren't enough students to justify the expense of hiring a bus. Yet the indefatigable Rissmeyer told her, "Let me see what I can do." She remembered that the Black Student Union had expressed a desire to visit the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial. She called on Associate Director of Student Activities and Director of Multicultural Programs Damita Davis, who immediately took the lead coordinating the joint trip. Vice President of Academic Affairs Joyce De Leo and the Executive Board of the Student Government Association jumped on board to split the expenses with the Office of Student Affairs and the trip was advertised as a weekend program open to all students.
It turned out to be a memorable and far richer trip than anyone had expected. The group was invited to a reception at the home of MaryEva Candon '72 and had the opportunity to meet additional Emmanuel alumni. After the weekend's events, one student characterized the entire experience as a turning point in her relationship with Emmanuel, as she was moved by the efforts of the faculty, staff and administration to make such a trip possible, and by the inspirational words of the alumni at Candon's home.
"It is wonderful to see members of the Emmanuel College community working together for the greater good of our students," said President Sister Janet Eisner, SND. "It speaks volumes about the experience we provide that they are so responsive to their needs. Ultimately, these are the events in their lives that really matter and we try to make them happen."
Catherine "Cat" DesRoche '05 recalls that upon her arrival at Emmanuel she was still feeling burned out from being involved in too many activities in high school and wanted to wade in slowly at Emmanuel. "I wasn't involved in one thing," she said of her high school years. "I was involved in everything."
Yet by her second semester, she was fully onboard. She helped organize the celebration for the Chinese and Vietnamese New Year, won a Leadership Award, was the secretary of the Programming Board, joined the Education Club, the Residence Hall Council, and became a Resident Advisor in both her junior and senior years. Her bid to remain uninvolved, she now laughs, "was an epic failure."
After graduating in 2005, she went to Suffolk University to get her master's in higher education with a focus on administration and by the age of 22 she was essentially running the student life program at the New England Conservatory. She returned to Emmanuel College in 2007 to work with Darcy, whom she calls her mentor, before leaving in 2009 to teach elementary school. She currently teaches third grade in Milton, Mass.
Meanwhile, the roster of new clubs on campus was growing quickly. The rules were simple: If you can get organized and find other students to share your passion, start your own club.
When Sam Hopperstad '11 arrived at Emmanuel College in the fall of 2007, he was in search of people like himself who were passionate about playing music. A drummer in high school, he arrived on campus with a set of bongos and began playing while sitting around his room in St. Ann Hall. Before long, he was joined by other percussionists who were also searching for an outlet for their musical talents. Soon, the percussion group Ill Beatz was born, comprised of a core group of 10 musicians who spent their formative years at Emmanuel developing their music and building a following.
"The club and everything that the club created was my whole social and campus life," said Hopperstad. Among the founders of Ill Beatz were Byron Glaus '10, Mike Craig '12, Alex Silba '11, Ryan Milliken '11, Joe Aube '11 and Hopperstad. By junior year, Ill Beatz was playing in clubs around Boston and in the fall of 2010 performed what Hopperstad says was the largest concert ever staged at Emmanuel College with more than 500 people in attendance.
But what Ill Beatz created was more important than music and underscores the student affairs staff's philosophy that college isn't about one or two things. It is about everything. The group created lifelong friendships, performing talents and even the necessary band-related skills in finance, marketing and public relations.
Those bonds and skills are hard at work today as Hopperstad's post-Emmanuel band Simple Syrup plays on. Three of the four members of Simple Syrup - which is now recording its first demo - are Emmanuel grads, including Hopperstad, Glaus and Craig. Aube also serves as the band's manager, handling the band's finances, public relations and marketing.
"We are all very intertwined," said Hopperstad, who also works professionally as a graphic designer.
Emmanuel faculty and administrators are so good at plugging students into extracurricular opportunities that students seem surprised and maybe even bemused when they are suddenly recruited for something they had never even thought about.
Joe Horgan '13 is one of those students. When Horgan arrived at Emmanuel, his goal was to prepare for a career teaching history while also taking advantage of nearby Mass College of Art and Design where he planned to take classes in film, his other interest. Somewhere along the way, though, Assistant Professor of English Lisa Falvey issued a challenge to her class, of which Horgan was a part: Whoever came up with the best plan to take to a new level the Emmanuel College radio station (began by alumnus David Phillipo '05) would get an A for the assignment.
What Dr. Falvey didn't mention to Horgan was that the person who came up with that plan was probably the same person who would implement it in the role of station leader, which proved to be a true learning experience for Horgan.
"I didn't know what I was doing when I came in, but I learned a lot quickly and I think I made more good decisions than bad decisions and we got a lot of other people involved," he said.
The station quickly rose in popularity around campus. Faculty members happily volunteered to anchor the microphone, play their own brands of music and comment on current events. Horgan created a live music café, dubbed Emma Café, in the basement of St. Joseph Hall next to the station that routinely attracted 50-60 students. He began featuring unknown bands, many of them on their way up, giving them exposure well beyond the campus as the station broadcasts across the Internet. He even blended his love for history and politics with the station by showing up in New Hampshire during the winter presidential primary where he interviewed former New Hampshire Governor John Sununu for broadcast. The station has also been invited to both the Democratic National Convention and the Republican National Convention this summer.
"When people see me around campus now they say, 'hey, you're the radio guy.'"
It is stories like Horgan's that exemplify the philosophy of Emmanuel today; a college focused on making opportunities available to it students and being the best fit possible.
"It certainly speaks to the possibilities that exist within our campus," said Sr. Janet. "With an open mind and a willingness to get involved, a passion can be sparked at any corner. It is one of the things that truly makes Emmanuel the special place that it is."

COON RAPIDS (AP) - Minnesota police are investigating a car chase with an armed Minneapolis-area man that ended after a one-hour standoff.
The Anoka County Sheriff's Office says officers responded to a report Tuesday that a Coon Rapids man was suicidal and had left his home with a loaded handgun. They located the man's vehicle in Coon Rapids and tried to stop it.
Police say the vehicle fled from the officers and struck a police squad car two times during the chase. The pursuit ended approximately 12 miles away in Lino Lakes.
Police say the man peacefully surrendered after an hour-long standoff with the officers. They say his name is being withheld pending charges by the county attorney's office.

My name is Tyeisha L. Hughes, and I am from East Orange, New Jersey. I am currently enrolled in Spelman College where I major in physics and minor in mathematics. Two years ago I would have never believed I would be majoring in physics; however, after my research experiences and AP physics I have gained quite an interest in the physics area. As for my future career, I plan to be an imaging technician, focusing mainly on magnetic resonance imaging, because I have a great interest in medicine. Throughout the years I have grown quite comfortable with the medical environment via my volunteer experiences, while discovering my talent for working one-on-one with people. So, this along with my interest in physics, I believe that becoming a medical imaging technician would be the best career choice for me. Another advantage to majoring in physics is that this subject area opens up a wide variety of interesting career choices. Therefore, if my interests ever stray away from medicine, I still have many career opportunities to choose from, (i.e. telecommunications, graphics designing, law.) All-in-all, each day my love for physics grows stronger and my mind becomes more developed scientifically. Though I may still be open to new career choices, there is no doubt that my ultimate career choice will be physics related.

Allochrocebus solatus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Allochrocebus solatus (Harrison, 1988)
Common Name(s):
Cercopithecus solatus Harrison, 1988
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Mittermeier, R.A., Rylands, A.B. and Wilson D.E. 2013. Handbook of the Mammals of the World: Volume 3 Primates. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This species was treated in previous Red List assessments (1988 to 30 June 2008) under the genus Cercopithecus, it is now placed under Allochrocebus following Mittermeier et al. (2013).
This updated assessment was created to accommodate the taxonomic move from Cercopithecus to Allochrocebus.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable B1ab(v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Oates, J.F. & Bearder, S.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Vulnerable as this species has an extent of occurrence estimated at ~12,000 km² in central Gabon, with the population centred on the unprotected Foret des Abeilles, and there is believed to be a growing impact of hunting that could be leading to a continuing decline numbers of individuals.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to central Gabon with a total range thought to be in the order of 11,000-12,000 km² (encompassing the Forêt des Abeilles). The species has been recorded west of the Offoué River within Lopé National Park, but not to the west of 11.50°E; the westerly limit remains unclear. The recorded eastern limit is the Ogooué R. The southern limit is also unclear, but it extends apparently to the foothills of the Massif du Chaillu (Gautier et al. 1992; Brugiere and Gautier 1999).
|Countries occurrence:
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The population density of this species varies with habitat suitability and seemingly with altitude: at the Makandé Field Research Station, the density was estimated at 25 individuals per km² (Brugiere and Gautier 1999). In southern Lope, the mean density was about 4 per km² (Brugiere 2005).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Occurs in primary and secondary lowland moist forest. The forest is dominated by Gabon mahogany (Acoumea), the leguminous awoura (Julbernardia), false nutmeg (Pycnanthus), and mubala-oil tree (Pentaclethra). Sun-tailed Monkeys prefer densely shaded, tangled areas. They remain common after light logging, perhaps because dense undergrowth increases. The diet of this species is currently being studied, but it is known to prefer fruits which are abundant all year round. They are sometimes recorded raiding crops around villages. This species occurs in single-male, multi-female groups.
|Major Threat(s):
|Brugiere and Gautier (1999) note that there is no recent evidence of a direct population decline in the species as a result of human activities. This species is hunted for meat (although it is reported to be difficult to hunt, because of its cryptic behaviour), and, being semi-terrestrial, is sensitive to ground snares (a common form of hunting around logging camps). Hunting pressure seems to be relatively low, but commercial hunting is likely to become a growing threat. Habitat loss, mainly due to logging (including in the Foret des Abeilles, which is largely allocated to logging concessions) is also a threat (Brugiere and Gautier 1999).
|Conservation Actions:
|This species is listed as Class B under the African Convention, and under Appendix II of CITES. It was declared a totally protected species by the Gabonese government in 1994. About 10% of the species' range is in the Lopé National Park, but the highest density of this species is in Foret des Abeilles (which remains unprotected) and better protection of this Forest is needed. Planned logging activity in the south of the Lope Reserve should be monitored closely, and hunting both within the reserve and in the Foret des Abeilles urgently needs to be controlled. More detailed studies of its distribution and biology are urgently needed. A few animals are held in captivity in Gabon.

Partners plan to re-open former Stash's in spring
New London - Darrel Hanrahan and Collin Reiners had been talking about opening a place for years.
Stash's Café, once a Pequot Avenue hot spot, was plenty closed.
It was as if the stars had aligned.
"We'd been looking all over Connecticut when this became available," Hanrahan, a 30-year-old East Hartford firefighter, said Thursday. "It was just what we wanted - to be near the shore."
Hanrahan and Reiners, an optometrist whose office is in Holyoke, Mass., plan to re-open Stash's as The Branding Iron in May, promising "barbecue, bourbon and beer," or, more precisely, a "family-friendly" restaurant serving up steaks, burgers and salads as well as live music, DJs and, on Sundays, screens tuned to DirecTV's NFL coverage.
Pool tables and darts will also be featured.
"We're going to do it all," said Miranda Bergeron, 31, who along with Ryan Van Lew will manage the place.
Reiners said the emphasis will be more on the restaurant aspect of things than the bar. The Branding Iron hopes to cater to the luncheon crowd from the Electric Boat campus across Pequot Avenue and to "everyone else, too," he said.
Hanrahan and Reiners, who met as members of the Connecticut Air National Guard, are leasing the space from the property's long-time owner, Steve "Stash" Schiavone.
The business' new co-owners, Bergeron and some other employees were hard at work Thursday inside the restaurant, where they were well into the second week of a massive renovation. Flooring and ceiling panels had been removed and walls repainted. The kitchen is being redone and new tables, booths and patio furniture are on the way.
Hanrahan said they were talking to local vendors about supplying the restaurant.
Hanrahan works two 24-hour shifts a week as a firefighter in East Hartford but lives in southeastern Connecticut. He worked for 12 years at the Andrea Hotel in Misquamicut, doing "a little of everything, including bartending."
"I've been coming down here for 20, 22 years," he said. "I always loved Ocean Beach. New London was always a great place to hang out."
Reiners, the Connecticut Air National Guard's chief of optometry, said he will keep his practice in Massachusetts. He lives in the Berkshires, as does Bergeron, who said she has 15 years of restaurant experience.
This is Reiners' first foray into the business.
"I talked him into it," Hanrahan said.
Ahead, lies an adventure, the new co-owners agreed. And for the former Stash's, "a clean, fresh start."

Max Irons romances Saoirse Ronan this weekend in the movie "The Host," and if this teaser is any indication, the British actor will be steaming up TV screens this summer as King Edward IV.
Irons, son of "The Borgias" star Jeremy Irons, plays King Edward in the 10-part series "The White Queen" set to premiere in August on Starz. It is based on "The War of the Roses" novels by Philippa Gregory.
A look at England before the time of the "The Tudors," the new series is told from the perspective of Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort and Anne Neville--"three different, yet equally relentless women."
Says Starz:
The year is 1464, before the Tudor dynasty ruled the country, and war has been ravaging throughout England over who is the rightful King. It is a bitter dispute between two sides of the same family; The House of York and The House of Lancaster. The House of York's young and handsome Edward IV is crowned King of England with the help of the master manipulator, Lord Warwick "The Kingmaker." But when Edward falls in love with a beautiful Lancastrian commoner, Elizabeth Woodville, Warwick's plan to control the throne comes crashing down. A violent, high-stakes struggle ensues between Elizabeth, her most fierce adversary, Lancastrian Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville, the pawn in her father's power game--each woman vying for the crown.
Rebecca Ferguson plays Elizabeth Woodville, Amanda Hale stars as Margaret Beaufort and Faye Marsay is Anne Neville. King Edward's brothers are played by David Oakes as George, Duke of Clarence, and Aneurin Barnard as Richard, Duke of Gloucester (who becomes the infamous Richard III). Other cast members include Janet McTeer as Jaquetta Woodville, James Frain as Lord Warwick, Eleanor Tomlinson as Isabel Neville, Ben Lamb as Anthony Rivers and Tom McKay as Jasper Tudor.
