K. Michelle Accuses Ex Memphitz Of Abuse On 'LAHH: Atlanta'
Although she didn't drop names, on the explosive premiere of 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta', K. Michelle hints ex-boyfriend Memphitz (who is married to Lil' Wayne's ex-wife, Toya) 'beat her ass.'
In the premiere of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, struggling recording artist K. Michelle comes clean that she had scored a $2 million record deal with Jive through a man that she really loved but "beat her ass" and left her with nothing. She did't say who he was but signs point to Jive music executive Memphitz.
It doesn't end there! The 26-year-old artist also said the man paid for her breast implants and bought jewelry for himself with her money!
She eventually found herself with nothing, saying the man had become abusive and left for her for another woman.
After a little digging on K. Michelle's website, Memphitz (who is now married to Lil Wayne's ex-wife Toya) stands accused. She wrote that she ran into the fellow Tennessee native who gave her her big break. "I introduced myself to him. I had nothing to lose," says Michelle. "He asked me what I was doing there trying to get a record deal without him."
According to Urban Belle, Michelle was dating Memphitz while he was in a relationship with Toya. He used Michelle's money to buy a house and spent it on courting Toya.
K. Michelle is in debt after her deal failed and she never recovered after Memphitz ran off with all her money.

Morrison Stadium
The Creighton Soccer programs entered a new era in 2003 with the opening of an on-campus soccer facility, the Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium. The Bluejays now enjoy playing home matches at the finest on-campus soccer venue in the nation.
The Arena Grass all-weather surface is the first of its kind in the United States and makes the playing surface at the stadium one of the finest in the country. With the downtown Omaha skyline to the south, Qwest Center Omaha to the east, Ryan Athletic Center to the north, Creighton campus expansion to the west, and just blocks from the Old Market, Morrison Stadium places student-athletes in the middle of it all.
Morrison Stadium's seating capacity is 6,000. Construction on the stadium was completed in 2004 and the facility includes a state-of-the-art video scoreboard, team souvenir shop, covered chairback seating, luxury suites, enclosed press box, concession stands and banquet area.
Since moving into the facility, both programs have enjoyed record-settting attendance numbers, with the men leading the Missouri Valley Conference and ranking in the NCAA top 10 every year since 2003 and the women topping the MVC in attendance each of the past seven seasons. Before the start of the 2010 season, the men were 52-11-11 (.777) at Morrison Stadium, including 21-3-2 (.846) in Valley play, while the women were 47-14-9 (.736) overall and 14-3-4 (.762) in conference play at home since 2003.
The $13 million facility hosted its first match on Aug. 29, 2003 and was officially dedicated on Oct. 15, 2004.
Morrison Stadium has hosted the State Farm MVC Women's Soccer Championship five times (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010) and the MVC Men's Championship twice (2004, 2007). The Bluejay men have also hosted seven NCAA Tournament matches at Morrison Stadium, with Creighton posting a 6-1-0 record at home in the NCAA postseason since 2003.
On July 13, 2010, the United States Women's National Team played a friendly against Sweden at Morrison Stadium, marking the first time the national team had played a match in Nebraska. The match was televised live on ESPN.
Each spring Morrison Stadium hosts the Kicks for a Cure event to help benefit cancer research.

Optimal treatment of breast cancer in an elderly patient
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My mother was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma at the age of 85. A lumpectomy was performed and lymph nodes were clear. Radiation therapy has been recommended. We are trying to weigh the pros and cons to help her decide if radiation therapy is really necessary or appropriate at her age. Considering her age, can you offer any data or insight into the treatment of elderly breast cancer patients, which we could consider to help her reach a treatment decision?
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Determining the optimal treatment of breast cancer in an elderly patient can be a difficult decision. Treatment decisions must be carefully considered for the elderly patient, and different treatments may be appropriate for different patients. Consultation with a radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist should be obtained so that the careful consideration for individualized treatment can be pursued for the specific patient in question. Elderly patients may benefit from the addition of radiation to reduce the risk of local recurrence, especially when there are no life-threatening medical conditions. The elderly patient without life-threatening medical conditions can have a surprisingly long life expectancy. Lumpectomy alone (or with tamoxifen) may be an appropriate choice for selected elderly patients, particularly those with short life expectancies. However, omission of radiation is associated with an increased risk of local recurrence, even for elderly patients. If the patient should have a local recurrence, this would occur at an even older age when treatment of local recurrence could be even more difficult. In short, no single answer is right for all elderly patients.

All of the companies who gave me quotes are licensed companies that have long histories (10+ years) of work in this area. None of them are "no-account-trunk-slammers." All of them claim to be following all of the new state laws (head to head coverage, permits and plans filed, freeze/rain sensor, etc.).Texas lawn sprinkling became a lot more expensive with their new rules. Anyone who does the work by the book is going to be significantly more expensive than some no-account trunk-slammer.
40 psi is extremely low for sprinklers
All I can say is 40 psi is a joke. No way will 5 zones cover your property. I highly doubt 7 zones will either. I would install some sprinklers above ground as a test. See how many sprinklers you can run. I've never seen a functioning sprinkler system with 40 psi unless it's a dripline.
Apparently they exist because your neighbors have them. Check out your neighbors sprinklers and see how many they have on one line. Compare it to what the three guys have in mind. Just remember that a full circle is 1 sprinkler. 2 half sprays is equal to 1 full. So if see 6 sprinklers at your neighbors on one line and they're half sprays. Don't expect you can run 6 full sprays in your yard.
With all that said keep in mind I'm not a landscape architect. I do however repair sprinkler systems full time. Working with systems that have very low pressure is a pain in the rear. In my opinion the more valves you have the better your odds of everything working correctly.
Even without the new Texas requirement (your local mileage may vary) about leaving trenches open for inspection, having a 40 psi supply pressure makes for an expensive sprinkler system. Every conceivable means to conserve water pressure gets utilized. No master valve, for instance (use zone valves with flow controls for operating reliability). Even then, heads won't throw as far as usual, so they get spaced closer together. Pipes may be oversized, because you want near-zero losses. Flows will be limited, according to your water supply pipe size and water meter size. This all costs money. Sometimes, it's so much extra money that boosting the pressure with a pump is considered.

There is a tremendous difference between 40 psi and 50 psi, when it comes to a supply pressure you can work with. If your pressure is subject to fluctuation, then different companies might be seeing a different picture, depending on when they measured pressure. (I myself, encountered an extreme example of this, and submitted a design and bid that was more than double anyone else's, on account of having measured a supply pressure less than half of what was usually present)
Since Texas has curbside meters, an installer can minimize pressure losses, unlike other states in the north, where meters are in basements, and pressure gets lost in the pipe supplying the home.

I have to agree with the other posts. 40 PSI static is very low for a sprinkler system. Most rotary sprinkler heads operate at their optimum
at the 45-50 psi range. You're starting out with 42 PSI. By the time you figure all your pressure losses in the service line, meter, backflow device, valves, piping, elevation, etc. etc. you could very well be operating at best in the low 30's but likley in the 20's. You might want to inquire with the three contractors what they figure the pressure is going to be at the base of the heads for the worst zone. A booster pump is looking good for this application. I doubt you will have much success any other way. Where did you come up wth 70-100 heads on seven zones with 30-50 PSI?
If all you can count on is 42 psi, then you deal with it. Pipe sizes are bumped up. If there was going to be a master valve, that could be eliminated, getting you back about 3 psi. If you already have a one-inch water meter, then you can't do anything there. Flow losses in a one-inch meter should be less than 3 psi, if your flow is less than 20 psi.
You still have the losses of a backflow preventer and a zone valve. 3 psi here, 5 psi there, and it adds up pretty quick. In your best scenario, you will be lucky to have as much as 30 psi at the sprinkler heads. The best designs will be very conservative. Better to have 10 zones that work, than to have 5 zones that don't.

Thank goodness, it was just National Security Agency director General Keith Alexander secretly visiting
Mystery spook's identity confirmed
The identity of a United States spy who mysteriously landed in Wellington last year can be revealed as National Security Agency director General Keith Alexander.
The visit by the senior spook was so top secret that Prime Minister John Key repeatedly refused to name him. The four-star general sparked intrigue when his US army jet landed at the capital's airport late in November.
Mr Key, the minister in charge of intelligence services, initially denied knowledge of the plane, and, despite pledging to find out more, later refused to reveal the identity of the visitor.
Sources say General Alexander visits New Zealand up to four times a year, and Mr Key would have approved the visits.
The shadowy NSA is the US equivalent of the Government Communications Security Bureau. It monitors and analyses foreign communications and protects US government cyber-systems.
Let's put this into context. The Director of the bloody NSA visiting us is the equivalent of the Witch King of the Nazgul coming to the Shire for an Eye of Mordor convention.
NZ's subservience to the US through the Echelon spy program run out of Canada, Australia, the UK and the US has more to do with why Kim Dotcom has been targeted here than any genuine concerns over copyright issues.
Watching the outcome of the Dotcom case will be fascinating. Chief High Court judge Helen Winkelman is forcing the Government to reveal what the GCSB handed over to our intelligence chums, so finding out that the NSA is visiting us on a regular basis shouldn't surprise.
Oh to be a bug on the wall in those meetings.

FBI: Jews need not applyfor Arabic linguist jobs
Despite shortage, loyalty issues,
bureau snubbed 90 N.Y. applicants
Despite a shortage of Arabic translators, the FBI turned down applications for linguist jobs from nearly 100 Arabic-speaking Jews in New York following the World Trade Center attacks, WorldNetDaily has learned.
The FBI's New York office in October 2001 asked a local charity that works with Arab Jews to submit applications for the linguist jobs, which are crucial
to anti-terrorism investigations.
But not one of the more than 90 applicants was hired, even though some had helped translate Arabic for
Israeli radio and TV news stations and the Israeli army before coming to America, the charity's director
"We sent them a lot of people, and nobody made it to the finish line. Not one person was found eligible for
these jobs, which is outrageous," said Doug Balin, director of the Sephardic Bikur Holim, a Jewish social-services agency in Brooklyn, N.Y.
A spokesman for the FBI's New York office says headquarters made the final cuts.
"Applicants have to go through a series of steps, including thorough background checks, especially those
who have lived abroad," says FBI spokesman Jim Margolin. "That's all coordinated centrally."
Many of the Jewish applicants lived in Mideast countries, including Israel, Syria, Egypt and Sudan.
Were the Sephardim applicants denied because they're
Jewish? "Not that I'm aware of," Margolin said.
Balin is not so sure.
"Maybe the FBI is not hiring Jewish people that often, I don't know," he said, suggesting the FBI fears offending the Muslim community.
Another source familiar with the interviewing process says the FBI was concerned that many of the applicants
were "too close to Israel," and might lack the objectivity to accurately translate the Arabic recordings and writings of Muslim terrorist suspects under investigation. Indeed, some worked for the
Israeli military.
However, the head of the New York office recently invited a Muslim cleric to preach to New York agents
about Islam's alleged peaceful attributes as part of a
bureau-wide Muslim-sensitivity training program.
FBI Director Robert Mueller has reached out to several Muslim-rights groups since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Balin's assistant, Yola Haber, said that many of the Jewish applicants were "highly qualified" and had
passed the bureau's language-proficiency tests. Some had been asked back for second and even third
interviews, she says. As Jews who lived in Arab nations, she adds, they understood the idioms and expressions that might escape other translators who
aren't from the region.
Haber told WorldNetDaily that she met with two agents from the FBI's Manhattan office, Carol Motyka and
Marsha K. Parrish, who she says approached her about recruiting Arabic-speaking Jews within weeks of the
terrorist attacks.
"I'm not making any comment," Motyka said. Parrish was unavailable for comment.
Margolin noted that the hiring process is not easy,
even though translators don't have to go through the rigorous agent-training program.
"The recruitment and hiring process entails a number of steps and is more involved than the applicants
might have anticipated," he said in a WorldNetDaily interview.
Still, the FBI has been hard-pressed to clear a large backlog of untranslated documents and recorded dialogue in
Arabic, information that could produce clues to terrorist plots in the U.S.
And like the U.S. Army, it's had to deal with loyalty issues. Many of the translators that both the FBI and
military have hired are Arab Muslims. The Army is investigating two Muslim linguists for possible spying
at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where captured members of al-Qaida and the Taliban are being held and interrogated.
The major security breach at Gitmo comes on the heels of the FBI's own investigation of some of its Muslim
Gamal Abdel-Hafiz, an immigrant Muslim, twice refused
on religious grounds to tape-record Muslim terrorist suspects, hindering investigations of a bin Laden family-financed bank in New Jersey and Florida professor Sami Al-Arian, recently indicted for his ties to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.
A fellow FBI agent, Robert Wright, said Abdel-Hafiz finally explained to him that "a Muslim does not
record another Muslim," after first claiming he feared for his life. Other agents said he contacted Arab subjects under investigation without disclosing the
contacts to the agents running the cases.
Despite his divided loyalties, the FBI subsequently promoted Abdel-Hafiz by assigning him to the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, a critical post for intelligence-gathering. Three-fourths of the Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudis.
After Wright and another agent blew the whistle in the media, however, Adel-Hafiz was put on administrative
Then there's the case of Jan Dickerson, a Turkish translator hired by the FBI last November.
In screening her for a clearance, the FBI missed her ties to a Turkish organization under investigation by
the FBI's own counter-intelligence unit, according to another whistle-blower. The bureau even let her translate the tapes of conversations with a Turkish intelligence officer stationed in Washington who was the target of the probe.
Sibel Edmonds, a co-worker who reviewed Dickerson's translations, said Dickerson left out information crucial to the investigation, such as discussion of methods to obtain U.S. military and intelligence secrets. She had marked it as "not important to be translated." Dickerson recently left the FBI and now lives overseas.
Balin argues that the Arab Jews it sent to the FBI to apply for translator jobs "would be more likely to be
loyal to the United States."
"They were against terrorists and against being attacked on these shores [on Sept. 11]," he said,
"because they were people who had suffered those kinds
of things overseas and were familiar with them, and saw the freedom that America brought to people."
"So it's crazy that no one was hired," Balin added.

(2009; 37 pages)
The facility survey was conducted in 2008 and 2009 with support from the World Health Organization (WHO) This survey is a contribution to the baseline studies undertaken by MeTA which aim at providing a pharmaceutical sector assessment. The indicators in the survey measure the outcome and impact of strategic pharmaceutical programs in a country: improved access, quality and rational use. Access is measured in terms of the availability and affordability of essential medicines, especially to the poor and in the public sector. Measuring the actual quality of medicines by testing samples can be expensive. Instead, the presence of expired medicines on pharmacy shelves as well as the adequate handling and conservation conditions are indicators of the quality of medicines made available to the population. Availability of prices of innovator and generic medicines at the public procurement, public sector and private sector sources were studied in the survey. Finally, rational use is measured by examining the prescribing and dispensing habits of health providers and the implementation of key strategies such as standard treatment guidelines (STG) and essential medicines lists (EML).

It's estimated that there will be 26 billion connected devices in homes and businesses by 2020 and that the Internet of Things (IoT) has a potential economic impact of up to $11.1 trillion a year by 2025. Although still in its infancy stage, connected devices are becoming the new normal, and the IoT is already proving to have a significant impact on the creation of new products and services across verticals such as telecom, transportation and health care.
As IoT adoption continues to increase over the next few years, new opportunities will arise for companies to track and measure how customers are consuming products and services. Companies looking to generate revenue from the IoT will need to transform the information from smart, connected products into services by offering the entire product as a service, or using the product's data stream to engage customers with additional services.
To help companies understand how best to monetize the IoT effectively, goTransverse has compiled five strategies to keep in mind.

Sulake, the creator of Habbo and ruler of IRC-Galleria, has come up with a new service (in public beta), Bobba.
According to their website, Bobba is "a pocketsize virtual world for Nokia phones, iPhone and iPod Touch." At this point there is only Nokia version of the software available.
Bobba is an application that works only on your mobile phone. You need to download and install it, and then you connect to the service using your existing data plan.
What is it really?
I've been using Bobba now for a while (was registered user #120 or something) and also having discussions in Qaiku with other users.
In Bobba you have your own room that you can decorate and construct with some given elements. You also have your own avatar that can move from one room to another.
With your avatar, you can talk to other people in the room, walk around and sit.
That's pretty much how I've understood Bobba.
So what do I think about Bobba?
I think a lot.
First of all, I fully understand how Habbo works. It's a great concept for "the young" to communicate and hang around. Actually, it works propably for lot of the older people as well.
With http://www.bobba.com, I don't get the point. Before you get mad at me let me explain.
Bobba is mobile, which means you can participate when you are away from your desk. Fine. But you can't participate from your computer. I was bobbaing from the office, and I had to use my tiny cell instead of the big screen with full keyboard and mouse. Why?
If making your own room look nice is a key feature, why there is no easier way to do it?
Besides of playing Fab5, all you can do is to chat with the people in same room. When you chat, you need to meet with the other people in the same place (room), at the same time. The messages you write will disappear when new ones appear on the screen. What did we talk about 10 minutes ago? Can't return to that discussion.
Now how 1990s is that? Can you expect a group of adults get online just for a chat, and agree the time beforehand through some other media? I think there are many other more effective ways to practice social interaction, online and offline. It's hard to see any good community building features in Bobba.
And don't get me wrong. I'd like to think myself as an early adapter. One part of my job is to try to find new exciting business models and market them effectively. I'm not being jealous, and I always try to find the potential in any service.
This time it's too hard. With the current offering, I can't see the hook.
Then again, the hook may not be visible to us yet. Maybe it has something to do with adult entertainment? Maybe they start offering commercial "items" and give them out for free for the community leaders. Just need the community first.
Ok, peeps. That's my first thoughts and experiences. Please prove me wrong. I'm more than happy to tell the world about great things coming out.
In these times we need positive news. Please.
EDIT: I have to mention that Arctic Startup wrote about this earlier. I didn't read the article before I wrote mine, but now I have to say that I'm not alona with my opinion.
EDIT2: More interesting stuff, an article and Sulake interview by Virtual Worlds News.
EDIT3: Bobba in Twitter

The Religious Sisters of Mercy, with its Motherhouse located in Alma, Michigan, is a Religious Institute of Pontifical Right dedicated to the Spiritual and Corporal works of Mercy. Established in 1973 in response to the renewal called for in the Second Vatican Council, the Institute recognizes Venerable Catherine McAuley as its original foundress.
The goal of the Institute is the praise and worship of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for the boundless mercy which has been revealed through the works of creation, redemption, and sanctification. The Sisters profess the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, as well as a fourth vow of service.
"Life consecrated through profession of the evangelical counsels is a stable form of living, in which the faithful follow Christ more closely under the action of the Holy Spirit, and are totally dedicated to God, who is supremely loved. By a new and special title they are dedicated to seek the perfection of charity in the service of God's Kingdom, for the honor of God, the building up of the Church and the salvation of the world. They are a splendid sign in the Church, as they foretell the heavenly glory" (Canon 573, 1).

DURHAM, N.C. – Saturday saw the York College women's track & field squad participate in split-squad action. A contingent of Spartans competed at the 2012 Duke Invitational, a primarily Division I meet, while the Green and White also competed at the Goucher Classic at Goucher College.
Laura Rowlands, the reigning Capital Athletic Conference champion in the outdoor long jump, posted an excellent 5.15-meter leap in the long jump at the Duke Invitational. Rowlands, who finished ninth overall in the long jump, also competed in the high jump where she snagged the 12th spot. Registering a 1.58-meter height, Rowlands snagged her third top-15 finish of the meet, having posted an 11th-place mark in Friday's triple jump.
Freshman Jasmine Smith joined Rowlands in the long jump as the two provide tremendous competition for one another. Smith recorded a 4.89-meter leap to tie for 13th overall.
In the 800 meters, senior Mandy Parshall registered a 2:30.33 time and Nicole Danielewicz put forth a solid effort running the developmental 800 meters while Deborah Fidele competed well in the 100-meter dash.
At the Goucher Classic, the Spartans finished 10th out of the 15 teams in attendance, registering 22.5 points.
Brittany DeManda turned in a strong finish in the javelin as she took third place Saturday. DeManda recorded a 34.81-meter (114' 2") launch in the event.
Fellow throwers Ashley Menniti and Katie Shinn each recorded top-ten performances in the hammer, finishing eighth and ninth, respectively. Menniti, a Spartan rookie, tossed the hammer 37.27 meters (122' 3") while Shinn posted a 36.89-meter (121' 0") distance. Menniti also competed in the shot put where she notched a 12th-place 9.80-meter (32' 2") toss.
Ashley Razzano tied for third in the pole vault with a height of 2.60 meters (8' 6.25") while Dana Mangano competed in the long jump.
On the track, Amber Douglas ran both the 100 and 200 meters. Douglas qualified for the final in the 100 meters, courtesy of a 13.38, before finishing in seventh overall with a 13.37. She also posted an 11th-place 28.87 in the 200.
The Spartans return to action on Saturday, April 14, when they travel to Baltimore, Md. for the Johns Hopkins / Loyola Invitational. Meet time is slated for a 10:00 am start.

I had bounced around with different web designers, listening to vague promises and abstract ideas that rarely resulted in anything substantive. But then I came across ArcWebdesigning with its four-tiered design service (economy, standard, business and professional) and the connection was instant.

They tailored a format for us–a custom fly rod company–which perfectly illustrates our new PowerPoint concept.
I was unexpectedly contacted by arcwebdesign who asked if I would like them to make my website more compatible with mobile phones, so that it could be seen better on a variety of digital appliances.

His recommendation in addition to the helpful way they produced the quote made it a very easy decision, they really understood what we wanted to achieve. The work was carried out in a timely manner with regular updates on the progress of the project. This we felt was very important as we were able to change a few points within the process rather than at the end. Most important of all was that the site was delivered on-time and within budget and we were very happy with the result. We are very happy to recommend Arc Web Designing as it was a good recommendation that introduced us. Many thanks for all your hard work

And for that alone he shouldn't be considered a top player.
He's hurt his team enormously. They were contenders before and they aren't anymore. No player that hurts his team this much should be considered a great one, no matter how he performs on the court.
Being a top player is not based only on talent, but on doing everything possible to help your team win. And that's where Kobe fails...

Material:White Metal
White Metal is any alloy that is light-colored, and is used especially as a base for plated silverware, ornaments and jewelry. Some of the metals used to create this alloy are antimony, tin, lead, cadmium, bismuth and zinc. Not all of these metals are found in all white metal alloys, but are combined to achieve a desired need, such as being able to be casted and polished.
Plating:Galvanic Plating, Single-Tone
Galvanic Plating is a process that uses electric currents applied to two opposite poles (negative & positive) in a tank of solution which contains the dissolved material of the coating. The product is attached to the negative pole and powered with a negative charge, while the metal dissolved in the solution is powered with a positive charge. The product then attracts the positive-charged metal in the solution, and thus, creating a thin coating of the desired material.
Single Tone is when a piece of jewelry has only one type/color of plating.
Center Stone Type:Synthetic
Synthetic stones are created artificially in a factory or laboratory, but have the same physical, chemical and optical characteristics as their natural counterparts. These stones usually have high luster, and is difficult to tell the difference from natural stones with the naked eye.
Center Stone Name:Pearl, Rhinestone
Pearl A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusk. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes (baroque pearls) occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries.
Center Stone Color:Multicolor

The New York Review of Books gives a harrowing continuation of its series on widespread sexual abuse in our "juvenile detention centers":
Adults who want to have sex with children sometimes look for jobs that will make it easy. They want authority over kids, but no very onerous supervision; they also want positions that will make them seem more trustworthy than their potential accusers. Such considerations have infamously led quite a few pedophiles to sully the priesthood over the years, but the priesthood isn't for everyone. For some people, moral authority comes less naturally than blunter, more violent kinds.
Ray Brookins worked for the Texas Youth Commission (TYC), the state's juvenile detention agency. In October 2003, he was hired as head of security at the West Texas State School in Pyote. Like most TYC facilities, it's a remote place. The land is flat to the horizon, scattered with slowly bobbing oil derricks, and always windy. It's a long way from the families of most kids confined there, who tend to be urban and poor; a long way from any social services, or even the police. It must have seemed perfect to Brookins—and also to John Paul Hernandez, who was hired as the school's principal around the same time. Almost immediately, Brookins started pulling students out of their dorms at night, long after curfew, and bringing them to the administration building. When asked why, he said it was for "cleaning."
What can one say here? We talk of Bagram in Afghanistan or Guantanamo Bay as "legal black holes", and we feel content, safe in the knowledge that "real American prisoners" have rights. But who has actually seen the inside of a prison?
Surprisingly many, if the statistic bear witness. The Times reported a couple years ago that upwards of 1 in 100 adults was incarcerated – an astounding figure which no other country, not even China, can boast. In absolute numbers, the United States carries more prisoners than any other country, a fact which fails to awe until one considers that China and India each have triple our population. Much of this has to do with draconian drug laws, wherein a man or woman can be put in jail for years for the horrific crime of carrying around some dried-up plant or a bit of white powder – but much of it also has to do with this "lock 'em and forget 'em" mentality of dealing with crime, as though the primary focus of our "justice system" ought to be punishment, rather than rehabilitation.
More worrying is how this attitude has shifted toward juvenile prisoners. I don't want to make too many apologies for our incarcerated juveniles, for the truth is that many of them have committed horrible acts, but to treat them simply as miniature adults represents, I think, a grave injustice.
Particularly when they're raped by their so-called caretakers, as the above article meticulously and painfully details.
3 Responses
this is a somewhat unrelated question: why don't jails for adults, which seem to have a fair amount of prisoners raping each other, give those prisoners free access to porn and blow up dolls?
i think that could reduce the incidence of rape in jails.

Pacers are going to lose the first game of the day outright and that will send the bettors chasing with the Clippers -3. Memphis will win outright sending bettors chasing again with OKC ML. Mavs will win and then EVERYONE will be doubling up on their Spurs -6 and ML bets.
I see, so would you care to post your 4 Dog ml parlay (or 3 dog ml+Utahs points) for north of (at least) 100 dollars?
Rather go with Mavs.

I'm basically a beginner-level musician who played Trumpet in grade school (so I can read music... at least the Treble Clef, but don't have much in the way of classical training) And of course, almost every musical child has at least one point in their life licked a Harmonica.
A few years ago, I learned about Wammer Jammer and was utterly memorized. I didn't realize the Harmonica had such flexibility.
So now I'm off to practicing the bends, overblows and so forth. And now I can play "Mary had a little lamb". Hell yeah. Oh, and the Harmonica part to "Piano Man". That's... popular. And easy. Woot woot. Any Harp players / mouth organ players out there? What inspires you to play?
Chromatic, Diatonic, Tromelo, whatever. Although my interest is primarily in the "basic" 10-hole Diatonic stuff.... the chromatic harmonica is still definitely impressive.
Harmonica players unite?
It's only cool if no one's heard of it.

Re: Harmonica players unite?
Maybe I should really buy a harmonica. I've been thinking about it sometimes, but I usually come to the conclusion, that I haven't taught myself to play guitar yet, so I shouldn't start off learning a fourth instrument.

There's a public hearing this Monday, March 10, about another great New York adaptive reuse project that we love.
On Governors Island sits a dilapidated military fort with exciting potential. It was built to defend the country against the British in the War of 1812 and has an identical blueprint to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. The New Globe Theater Campaign wants to restore the fort and create an amazing performing arts center in the open courtyard.
Check out some more pics and renderings from architects Foster + Partners here.
There is a hearing at Federal Hall on Monday to challenge the National Park Service's decision to eliminate the New Globe Plan.
Monday, March 10th @ 5:00-7:00PM.
Federal Hall, 26 Wall Street.
If you can attend, please RSVP by emailing Derek Collard at email@example.com.
Much like the High Line in the very beginning, this grassroots movement will need significant public support. Take a minute to send an email to the National Park Service urging them to approve the New Globe! Act soon! Their deadline for public comments is March 18 at 11:59PM.

StateMachine Usage
StateMachine is used as an inherited base class. The
Motor class is
an example of how to use it (see Listings Four and Five).
Motor implements our hypothetical motor-control state machine, where
clients can start the motor, at a specific speed, and stop the motor. The
Halt public functions are the external events into the
state machine. Note that to the caller an external event is just a function
call. The state machine implementation details are hidden from the client's
view of this class.
SetSpeed takes event data, as evidenced by the pointer
to the
MotorData structure, which contains the motor speed. This data
structure will be deleted upon completion of the state processing, so it is
imperative that the structure inherit from
EventData and be created using
operator new before the function call is made.
Listing Four: Defines Motor state machine class
#ifndef MOTOR_H #define MOTOR_H #include "StateMachine.h" // structure to hold event data passed into state machine struct MotorData : public EventData { int speed; }; // the Motor state machine class class Motor : public StateMachine { public: Motor() : StateMachine(ST_MAX_STATES) {} // external events taken by this state machine void Halt(); void SetSpeed(MotorData*); private: // state machine state functions void ST_Idle(); void ST_Stop(); void ST_Start(MotorData*); void ST_ChangeSpeed(MotorData*); // state map to define state function order BEGIN_STATE_MAP STATE_MAP_ENTRY(ST_Idle) STATE_MAP_ENTRY(ST_Stop) STATE_MAP_ENTRY(ST_Start) STATE_MAP_ENTRY(ST_ChangeSpeed) END_STATE_MAP // state enumeration order must match the order of state // method entries in the state map enum E_States { ST_IDLE = 0, ST_STOP, ST_START, ST_CHANGE_SPEED, ST_MAX_STATES }; }; #endif //MOTOR_H
Listing Five: Implements Motor class
#include <assert.h> #include "Motor.h" // halt motor external event void Motor::Halt(void) { // given the Halt event, transition to a new state based upon // the current state of the state machine BEGIN_TRANSITION_MAP // - Current State - TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (EVENT_IGNORED) // ST_Idle TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (CANNOT_HAPPEN) // ST_Stop TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (ST_STOP) // ST_Start TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (ST_STOP) // ST_ChangeSpeed END_TRANSITION_MAP(NULL) } // set motor speed external event void Motor::SetSpeed(MotorData* pData) { BEGIN_TRANSITION_MAP // - Current State - TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (ST_START) // ST_Idle TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (CANNOT_HAPPEN) // ST_Stop TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (ST_CHANGE_SPEED)// ST_Start TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY (ST_CHANGE_SPEED)// ST_ChangeSpeed END_TRANSITION_MAP(pData) } // state machine sits here when motor is not running void Motor::ST_Idle() { } // stop the motor void Motor::ST_Stop() { // perform the stop motor processing here // transition to ST_Idle via an internal event InternalEvent(ST_IDLE); } // start the motor going void Motor::ST_Start(MotorData* pData) { // set initial motor speed processing here } // changes the motor speed once the motor is moving void Motor::ST_ChangeSpeed(MotorData* pData) { // perform the change motor speed to pData->speed here }
When the
Motor class is created, its initial state is
ST_Idle. The first call to
SetSpeed transitions the state machine to the
ST_Start state, where the motor is initially set into motion. Subsequent
SetSpeed events transition to the
ST_ChangeSpeed state, where the speed of an already moving motor is adjusted. The
Halt event transitions to
ST_Stop, where, during state execution, an internal event is generated to transition back to the
ST_Idle state.
The state-machine engine knows which state function to call by using the state map. The state map maps the
currentState variable to a specific state function. For instance, if
currentState is 2, then the third state-map function pointer entry will be called (counting from zero). The state map is created using these three macros:
BEGIN_STATE_MAP starts the state map sequence. Each
STATE_MAP_ENTRY that follows has as an argument a state function, which is added to the state map.
END_STATE_MAP terminates the map. The completed state map just implements the pure virtual function
GetStateMap defined within the
StateMachine base class. Now the
StateMachine base class can ask for all the state function pointers via this call.
Notice that we have to use the dastardly
reinterpret_cast<> operator within the
STATE_MAP_ENTRY macro to cast the derived class member function pointer to a
StateMachine member function pointer. It is necessary to perform this upcast since the
StateMachine base class has no idea what the derived class is. So, it is imperative that the entries provided to
STATE_MAP_ENTRY are really member functions of an inheriting class and that they conform to the state function signature discussed earlier. Otherwise bad things will happen.
Each state function must have an enumeration associated with it. These enumerations are used to store the current state of the state machine. In
E_States provides these enumerations, which are used later in the transition map. It is important that the enumeration order matches the order provided within the state map. This way, we can tie a state enumeration to a particular state function call.
EVENT_IGNORED and
CANNOT_HAPPEN are two other constants used in conjunction with these state enumerations.
EVENT_IGNORED tells the state engine not to execute any state, just return and do nothing.
CANNOT_HAPPEN tells the state engine to fault. This is an abnormal catastrophic failure condition that is never suppose to occur.
The last detail to attend to are the state transition rules. How does the state machine know what transitions should occur? The answer is the transition map, which is created using these macros:
Each external event function has a transition map.
BEGIN_TRANSITION_MAP starts the map. Each
TRANSITION_MAP_ENTRY that follows indicates what the state machine should do based upon the current state. The number of entries in each transition map must match the number of state functions exactly. In our example we have four state functions, so we need four entries. The location of each entry matches the order of state functions defined within the state map. Thus, the first entry within the
Halt function indicates an
EVENT_IGNORED. This is interpreted to mean, "If a Halt event occurs while the current state is state Idle, just ignore the event." Similarly, the third entry means, "If a Halt event occurs while current is state Start, then transition to state Stop."
END_TRANSITION_MAP terminates the map. The argument to this end macro is the event data, if any.
Halt has no event data so the argument is a null pointer, but
ChangeSpeed has data so it is passed in here.
The transition map is basically a lookup table indexed by the
currentState variable to determine the course of action. This information is passed to the
ExternalEvent function as an argument along with the event data. When the
StateEngine function executes, it looks up the correct state function pointer by calling
const StateStruct* pStateMap = GetStateMap();
Then, based upon the
currentState variable, it calls one of the state functions in the map:
After the state function has a chance to execute, it deletes the event data, if any, before checking to see if any internal events were generated.
Generating Events
At this point we have a working state machine class. Let's see how to generate events to it. An external event is generated by creating the event data structure on the heap using
new, assigning the structure member variables, and calling the external event function. Obviously, if the external event doesn't take event data then a data structure is not created. The following code fragment shows how a synchronous call is made. You could, of course, send the pointer to the data structure, along with some means of identifying the event, through an operating system message queue to be handled asynchronously by the destination task:
MotorData* pData = new MotorData; pData->speed = 50; motor.setSpeed(pData);
To generate an internal event from within a state function, call
InternalEvent. If the destination doesn't accept event data, then the function is called with only the state you want to transition to:
In the example above, once the state function completes execution the state machine will transition to the
ST_Idle state. If, on the other hand, event data needs to be sent to the destination state, then the data structure needs to be created on the heap and passed in as an argument:
MotorData* pData = new MotorData; pData->speed = 100; InternalEvent(ST_CHANGE_SPEED, pData);
Multithread Safety
To prevent preemption by another thread when the state machine is in the process of execution, the
StateMachine class uses semaphores within the
StateEngine function. Before the external event is allowed to execute, the semaphore is locked. When the external event and all internal events have been processed, the semaphore is unlocked, allowing another external event to enter the state machine instance.
Comments indicate where the semaphore lock and unlock should be placed if the application is multithreaded. Note that each
StateMachine object should have its own instance of a semaphore. This prevents a single instance from locking a semaphore and preventing all other
StateMachine objects from executing.
Implementing a state machine using this method as opposed to the old switch statement style may seem like extra effort. However, the payoff is in a more robust design that is capable of being employed uniformly over an entire multithreaded system. Having each state in its own function provides easier reading than a single huge switch statement, and allows unique event data to be sent to each state. In addition, validating state transitions prevents client misuse by eliminating the side effects caused by unwanted state transitions.
This implementation offers easy use for the inheriting classes. With the macros it lets you just "turn the crank" without much thought given to the underlying mechanics of how the state engine operates. This allows you more time to concentrate on more important things, like the design of the state transitions and state function implementation.

Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, we have to go this early. So there you have it.
Last year, we asked some of our favorite writers to opine why Their Favorite Team Was Better Than Yours. Ultimately, we found this constrictive, and it also might have killed James Frey. So this time, we've just asked them to just run free, talk about their team, their experience as a fan, their hopes, their dreams, their desires for oral sex. All our teams are now assigned; if you sent us an email and we didn't get back to you, we're sorry, and we accept your scorn. But today: The Tennessee Titans.
Your author is Clay Travis, a columnist for CBS Sportsline and author of the incredibly entertaining new book Dixieland Delight, about a season of Southeastern Conference football. His words are after the jump.
Lost amidst the Vince Young hoopla last year was the fact that, outside of Young, the Tennessee Titans stunk worse than Chris Berman's ball sack at the end of NFL Primetime.
The top-three playmakers were Drew Bennett at one wide receiver, Bobby Wade at the other wide receiver and Travis Henry at running back. So impressed were the Titans with this triumvirate's performance that they let all three players leave via free agency. Despite having ample free agency money. Meaning Vince Young is officially weaponless and will have as much difficulty making plays as a pederast at a nursing home bingo game. So instead of worrying about unimportant parts of football like the entire defense, here's a breakdown of the Titans top offensive weapons by position.
Running Back
LenDale White: Here are words you are willing to see associated with your running back: felon, fast, tough, illiterate, suspended for violating the league's drug policy, domestic abuser, efficient whizzinator operator.
Here is the one word you don't want associated with your running back in any circumstance: fat.
Unfortunately LenDale White is fat. He sleeps with Kit Kats under his pillow and stores Hershey's Kisses (with almonds!) under his man boobs.
Chris Henry: In his entire collegiate career with the Pac-10's Arizona Wildcats Chris Henry ran for less than a thousand yards. Yep, in his four-year career. The Titans were so impressed by this performance that they took him with a second-round pick. Now they are seriously talking about making him the gunner on special teams coverage. Fellow Pac-10 tailback LenDale White reacted to this selection by saying he had never heard of Chris Henry. Then White said he would offer to split a king-size Reese's Pieces with Henry, but only if Henry rubbed his balls in pure honey and let LenDale lick them. It's all about the team. And after all, there's no I in teabag either.
Chris Brown: The Titans deactivated Chris Brown for 11 games last year because he has the physical toughness of a Kappa Kappa Gamma's hymen. Which is to say none. Despite choosing to deactivate a healthy Brown for almost 3/4ths of the season last year, the Titans resigned him for three-times the money they were paying him not to make the active roster once the off season arrived. Clever rascals. See, lots of teams have been making the mistake of actually paying players for, you know, actually playing. But then they get tired and bruised. This way Chris Brown only gets tired and bruised when female sponges are sold out at Walgreen's.
Wide Receiver
David Givens: Is currently walking with a cane. Seriously, a cane. Rumor has it that Titans officials are actually encouraging him to take up dogfighting to clear cap space.
Brandon Jones: Jones was the third best wide receiver on his college team, Oklahoma. He is the best receiver on the Titans by approximately 1,000 percent This should tell you all you need to know about the Titans wide receivers.
Roydell Williams: You know how I said Brandon Jones was the best wide receiver on the Titans by approximately 1,000 percent? Currently, Roydell Williams is starting ahead of him. Roydell, who in 14 games last year had eight catches. Yep...eight.
Courtney Roby: Amazingly, also starting at receiver. Basically the Titans reward production. Last year Roby had two catches in 12 games. But lest we be too critical, one of those was for a first down. Of course Pacman Jones caught the same number of passes on offense and four more on defense, but pointing this out would just be mean. And men named Courtney cry when you make fun of them because they have always secretly envied their missing X chromosome.
Paul Williams: While other teams like the Patriots were signing Randy Moss after giving up a 4th round draft pick, the Titans shrewdly waited until late in the third round to snag a player no one else really wanted. A player who wasn't even sure a year ago he wanted to play wide receiver. Word is a boastful Williams has promised that his rookie campaign will lead to his being twice the player Courtney Roby was in 2006. This comment was received with unvarnished glee in Nashville until everyone realized this meant Williams was projecting only four catches for himself.
Justin Gage: The Titans were so overwhelmed by Justin Gage's four catches in eight games last season for the Chicago Bears (a full .5 catches a game!) that they signed him to a free-agent contract after the Bears released him from their practice squad. They plan on him helping to replace the 79 catches Bennett and Wade took with them when they signed with other teams. This would be funny if it weren't actually true.
Eric Moulds: Perhaps aware that their wide receiving corps made several SEC wide receiver coaches cackle with glee (or perhaps aware that this profile was being written), the Titans signed Eric Moulds last Wednesday. My favorite thing about this signing is thinking about Eric Moulds looking at the roster of his wide-receiving competition. If Moulds didn't immediately make it rain on dem hos, then I want him tied, bound, and driven out of Nashville inside LenDale White's Little Debbie truck.
Tight End
Ben Troupe: When I talked to Troupe two years ago about wearing a dress in a Nutcracker performance he told me he owned several switchblades. This makes him by far the most dangerous Titan. So I think he's quite an impeccable young man with great manners.
Bo Scaife: Caught 29 passes last year. Unfortunately Vince Young's rookie year included an elementary school maneuver whereby he only threw to players like Scaife and Ahmard Hall because he was friends with them from Texas. Perhaps to protect against this occurring with opposing defensive backs, the Titans drafted Texas's Michael Griffin so Young could throw to him at practice as opposed to in games.
That's truly it. The entirety of the Titans playmakers. Consider yourself forewarned. Basically if you take any Titans offensive player other than Vince Young in a fantasy draft, you have the vision of Stuart Scott and you're probably going to take a picture of your cock like Sean Salisbury. Which, when you get right down to it, is sort of cool. I mean what woman doesn't love a nice cock picture? Especially if you liven it up with a couple of balls. That's class.

Few specifications are implemented in their entirety, in exactly the same way, by every implementor. Many specifications contain optional features or areas of acknowledged variation and some implementors choose to ignore required features that aren't needed by the community they serve, choosing to trade conformance for other benefits.
In the case of XML, there are not only optional features in the XML Recommendation itself, but there are a whole family of additional specifications which an implementor may choose to support or ignore. In principle, there are an enormous number of possible variations. In practice, there are dependencies between the specifications that limit the number of possible variations and implementors aren't motivated to implement completely arbitrary selections.
One goal of this work is to help establish a lower bound on the number and nature of features supported. The ability to communicate by sending XML documents back and forth is predicated on the notion that we have the same understanding of those documents. While we might wish for the richest possible understanding, that's not likely to be supported by the widest range of implementations. Establishing a few basic profiles, we hope, provides a foundation on which other specifications can build.
The XML specification
This specification addresses this issue by defining several XML processor profiles, each of which defines how any given XML document should be processed, both operationally and in terms of what information must be made available to applications. It is intended as a resource for other specifications, which can by a single normative reference establish precisely what input processing they require as well as what information they require.
The profiles presented here are designed for use with respect to static outcomes, that is, to the result of XML processing as (if) produced by a batch process. They do not attempt to address the question of the preservation or lack thereof of information itself, or of information invariants, in the course of incremental construction or in the face of piecemeal modification.

Where an id processor reports an Unexpanded Entity Reference, richer ones will report the entity expansion, that is, they will report some number of information items and their associated properties. For this reason, the information reported from an id processor may differ from that reported by a processor conforming to a richer profile with respect to any or all of Element, Attribute, Character, Comment, Namespace, Processing Instruction and Unexpanded Entity Reference Information Items.

Also, the validation-dependent [element content whitespace] property of Character Information Items may only be reliably provided in conjunction with some approaches to validation, specifically DTD validation.
