NCAA Basketball Rankings: Mid-Major Rankings for Week 13
By (Correspondent) on January 27, 2013
3,748 reads
There was plenty of craziness in mid-major basketball last week. Although Gonzaga and Wichita, the top two mid-majors, continued to win, Creighton lost to Drake, Lehigh beat Bucknell but then lost to Lafayette, Northwestern State defeated Stephen F. Austin, and Murray State lost at Jacksonville State.
In all the mayhem, Belmont improved to No. 3 and Louisiana Tech and South Dakota State cracked the top 10.
Read on to see the complete mid-major rankings.
Note: For the purpose of this analysis, a mid-major is defined as any team that does not compete in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, SEC, Pac-12, Atlantic 10, Conference USA or Mountain West.
25. Stony Brook Seawolves
Paul Frederiksen-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 15-5, 6-1 A-East
Last Week's Rank: Not Ranked
Notable Wins: None
Stony Brook is yet to grab a highlight victory (and will never get another chance this season in the America East), but the Seawolves have played close games on the road against Connecticut, Maryland and Seton Hall. In conference, their only loss is at second-place Vermont, 81-73.
Last week, fifth-year senior Tommy Brenton posted a triple-double against Maine with 15 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.
24. North Dakota State Bison
USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-5, 7-2 Summit
Last Week's Rank: 14
Notable Wins: South Dakota State (Home)
North Dakota State won its first game without Taylor Braun, who injured his foot against Oakland, but the Bison lost at Western Illinois and South Dakota State without their leading scorer.
The Bison are now tied for second place, but South Dakota State holds the tiebreaker.
Next up for the North Dakota State are a pair of home games against UMKC and South Dakota.
23. Western Illinois Leathernecks
Greg Smith-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-5, 8-2 Summit
Last Week's Rank: 16
Notable Wins: UIC (Home), North Dakota State (Home)
After just barely surviving at IPFW on Thursday, Western Illinois fell at Oakland on Saturday. It was the first time all season that the Leathernecks scored 60 or more points and lost.
With the loss, there is now a three-way tie in the loss column for first place in the Summit League.
22. Davidson Wildcats
Lance King/Getty Images
Record: 13-7, 8-1 SoCon
Last Week's Rank: Not Ranked
Notable Wins: West Virginia (Neutral), Richmond (Road)
Davidson has won its last four games to take command of a two-game lead in the SoCon South.
Most recently, the Wildcats blew out Appalachian State, 79-56, in a game where four players scored in double figures.
21. New Mexico State Aggies
Steve Dykes-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 13-8, 7-2 WAC
Last Week's Rank: Not Ranked
Notable Wins: Southern Miss (Home), Utah State (Home)
New Mexico State started 0-2 in the WAC but has since won its last seven games. Last week, the Aggies defeated Denver to move into second place in the conference.
This week, the Aggies will face Texas State and Texas-Arlington.
20. Eastern Kentucky Colonels
Bradley Leeb-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-5, 6-2 OVC
Last Week's Rank: 22
Notable Wins: Murray State (Road)
After losing by only seven points at Belmont on January 17, there was hope that Eastern Kentucky would pull off an upset at home against the Bruins on Saturday. But after trailing by 11 points at halftime, the Colonels rally fell short, and they lost 85-74.
On the brighter side, Eastern Kentucky is still in second place in the OVC East, and it has its two toughest games out of the way.
19. Montana Grizzlies
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Record: 14-4, 10-0 Big Sky
Last Week's Rank: Not Ranked
Notable Wins: Weber State (Home)
Since the return of Will Cherry, Montana holds a phenomenal, 10-1 record. The only loss came by a point in double-overtime against South Dakota State, and in the game, Cherry was still easing his way back with only 13 minutes of playing time.
On Thursday night, the Grizzlies will look to continue their hot play at Portland State, which is 3-6 in the Big Sky.
18. Santa Clara Broncos
Lance King/Getty Images
Record: 16-6, 4-3 WCC
Last Week's Rank: 19
Notable Wins: Saint Louis (Road)
Santa Clara won at San Diego on Saturday for its fourth straight win. Marc Trasolini led the team past the Toreros with 23 points, eight rebounds and three blocks.
The Broncos play a must-win against Portland on Thursday before facing Brigham Young in Provo on Saturday.
17. Murray State Racers
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
Record: 15-5, 6-2 OVC
Last Week's Rank: 8
Notable Wins: St. John's (Neutral)
Murray State lost a close game at Jacksonville State on Saturday, 65-64. The Racers are now 6-2 in the Ohio Valley, but they are still clearly the best team in the OVC West with a three-game lead over second-place SIU-Edwardsville.
After hosting 5-17 Austin Peay this week, the Racers play a pair of big games against Belmont and Tennessee State next week.
16. Indiana State Sycamores
Marco Garcia-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 13-7, 6-3 MVC
Last Week's Rank: 15
Notable Wins: Mississippi (Neutral), Miami-FL (Neutral)
Indiana State lost a close game at Illinois State in its first game of the week but rebounded with a 59-58 win over Northern Iowa on Saturday.
Next up for the Sycamores is a matchup at nationally ranked Wichita State on Tuesday.
15. Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks
USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-2, 7-1 Southland
Last Week's Rank: 10
Notable Wins: Oklahoma (Road)
Stephen F. Austin struggled with Northwestern State all of Saturday afternoon, but the Lumberjacks appeared to be on their way to another win after opening up a 57-50 lead in the final minute. But then, they failed to finish as Northwestern State went on an 11-0 run to win, 61-57.
The Lumberjacks will continue their road trip with games against McNeese State and Lamar this week.
14. Ohio Bobcats
Spruce Derden-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 15-5, 6-0 MAC
Last Week's Rank: 20
Notable Wins: Richmond (Home)
Ohio has won its last seven games. On Saturday, the Bobcats outlasted Kent State, 69-68, as D.J. Cooper posted 23 points, five assists and three steals.
After hosting Eastern Michigan on Wednesday, the Bobcats will play a huge game at Akron on Saturday.
13. Akron Zips
Matt Ryerson-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 15-4, 6-0 MAC
Last Week's Rank: 21
Notable Wins: Mid. Tenn. (Home)
Akron came from behind to defeat Buffalo on Saturday, 68-64.
The Zips play at Bowling Green on Wednesday and then host Ohio on Saturday for first place in the MAC.
12. Valparaiso Crusaders
Robert Mayer-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-5, 6-1 Horizon
Last Week's Rank: 13
Notable Wins: Murray State (Road), Detroit (Road)
Valparaiso has won six in a row since dropping its Horizon League opener to Loyola-Illinois.
After watching the Crusaders continually find ways to win, it would not be surprising to see them run the table and finish 17-1.
11. Lehigh Mountain Hawks
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 15-5, 4-1 Patriot
Last Week's Rank: 17
Notable Wins: Bucknell (Road)
Lehigh's win over Bucknell last week was doubly important. First, it put the Mountain Hawks into first place in the Patriot League as the only unbeaten team. Second, it proved that they are still a dangerous mid-major, even without C.J. McCollum.
On Sunday, however, Lehigh struggled, falling at home to Lafayette by 21 points.
10. South Dakota State Jackrabbits
Kelly Lambert-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-6, 7-2 Summit
Last Week's Rank: 12
Notable Wins: Montana (Road), New Mexico (Road), Western Illinois (Road), North Dakota State (Home)
South Dakota State moved into second place in the Summit League with a 69-53 win over North Dakota State on Saturday afternoon. After beginning the game 2-of-9 from the field, Nate Wolters went 5-of-7 for the rest of the game as he posted 26 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals.
This week, the Jackrabbits return home for games against South Dakota and UMKC.
9. Brigham Young Cougars
James Snook-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 16-6, 6-2 WCC
Last Week's Rank: 9
Notable Wins: Virginia Tech (Home), Santa Clara (Road)
Brigham Young had another opportunity for a big-time win, but the Cougars failed to capitalize, falling at Gonzaga 83-63.
At this point, the Cougars will likely have to beat both St. Mary's and Gonzaga in February to have any chance at an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
8. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
USA TODAY Sports
Record: 18-3, 9-0 WAC
Last Week's Rank: 11
Notable Wins: Southern Miss (Home), Utah State (Road)
Louisiana Tech survived a close game at Utah State on Saturday, 51-48. Brandon Gibson led the Bulldogs with 20 points off the bench.
In their next three games, the Bulldogs host Texas-Arlington, Texas-San Antonio and Texas State.
7. Bucknell Bison
Michael Hickey/Getty Images
Record: 17-4, 4-1 Patriot
Last Week's Rank: 5
Notable Wins: Purdue (Road), La Salle (Home), Loyola-MD (Road)
Bucknell fell to second place in the Patriot League after losing to Lehigh on Wednesday, but the Bison rebounded with a 65-58 win at Holy Cross during the weekend.
Next up for the Bison is a game at American University on Wednesday night.
6. St. Mary's Gaels
William Mancebo/Getty Images
Record: 17-4, 6-1 WCC
Last Week's Rank: 7
Notable Wins: Utah State (Road), BYU (Road)
St. Mary's has won five consecutive games since losing a close game at Gonzaga on January 10. During this stretch, Matthew Dellavedova is averaging 8.2 assists per contest.
The Gaels should be able to get wins in both of their games this week against San Francisco and Portland.
5. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 18-4, 10-1 Sun Belt
Last Week's Rank: 6
Notable Wins: UCF (Road), Mississippi (Home)
Middle Tennessee easily defeated Western Kentucky on Saturday to extend its winning streak to seven games. The Blue Raiders are yet to lose at home, and their only Sun Belt loss is at Arkansas State in overtime.
This week, the Blue Raiders will take a trip to Florida to face Florida International and Florida Atlantic.
4. Creighton Bluejays
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Record: 18-3, 7-2 MVC
Last Week's Rank: 2
Notable Wins: Wisconsin (Neutral), Arizona State (Neutral), Akron (Home), Indiana State (Home)
Creighton lost to Drake in a game where star forward Doug McDermott played sick, and the Bluejays then blew out Southern Illinois with a healthy McDermott.
They are now one game out of first place, but they should be able to win twice this week with home games against Missouri State and Bradley.
3. Belmont Bruins
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Record: 17-4, 8-0 OVC
Last Week's Rank: 4
Notable Wins: Stanford (Road), Mid. Tenn. (Home), South Dakota St. (Home), Eastern Kentucky (Home, Road)
Belmont survived in a pair of tough road games last week. The Bruins first defeated Morehead State, 64-63, and then beat Eastern Kentucky, which they beat by seven points at home a few weeks ago.
After a two-game homestand, Belmont will go on a tough, four-game road trip in February that includes games against Murray State and Tennessee State.
2. Wichita State Shockers
Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images
Record: 19-2, 8-1 MVC
Last Week's Rank: 3
Notable Wins: VCU (Road), Iowa (Neutral), Southern Miss (Neutral), Creighton (Home)
Wichita State had no trouble with Bradley on Saturday, stretching its first-place lead over Creighton to a full game. With the dominating 73-39 victory, the Shockers moved into the top 20 of the KenPom rankings.
This week, the Shockers will face third-place Indiana State for the first time this season.
1. Gonzaga Bulldogs
William Mancebo/Getty Images
Record: 19-2, 6-0 WCC
Last Week's Rank: 1
Notable Wins: Oklahoma (Neutral), Davidson (Neutral), Kansas State (Neutral), Baylor (Home), Oklahoma State (Road), Santa Clara (Road), BYU (Home)
Gonzaga continues to rack up impressive victories. This past week, the Zags easily defeated Brigham Young, 83-63, and then defeated San Francisco to maintain a half-game lead over St. Mary's in the WCC.
This week, the Bulldogs hit the road to face Loyola Marymount and San Diego.

NASHVILLE — While independent expenditures of out-of-state organizations may have achieved their goal in some state legislative races this summer, Frank Niceley says attacks by two Washington-based groups against him backfired and likely helped his state Senate campaign.
Direct mail attacks on Niceley by one group, the Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF), may also have run afoul of state law. And a post card from the NRA that accused him of lying, Niceley says, has transformed him from a friend of the gun owners group to an enemy.
Drew Rawlins, executive director of the Bureau of Ethics and Campaign Finance, said the HSLF political action committee failed to register with the state as required by the law. Dane Waters, a spokesman for the group, says attorneys advised the fund that registration with the Registry of Election Finance was not required.
The mailers attack Niceley for supporting legislation to allow slaughter of horses for food, for opposing legislation to make cockfighting a felony and for supporting "canned hunting" with legislation that would allow whitetail deer farms in Tennessee.
"Got horse?" asks one of the mail pieces in text beside a picture of a large cheeseburger bearing the label "100% horse burger."
"Instead of fixing Tennessee's economy, Frank Niceley is trying to make it easier for the French and Belgians to eat horses," declares the mailer.
Niceley estimates the HSLF spent $50,000 on the mailings. Waters would not provide a figure in a telephone interview last week, but said a disclosure of the spending had been mailed to the Registry of Election Finance. Rawlins said it had not been received as of Friday.
Rawlins said state law requires that PACs register with the Registry before engaging in an independent expenditure campaign involving a campaign for the state Legislature "unless there's something in federal law that trumps the state law ... and I'm not aware of (such a federal provision)."
Waters said that, as a "501 C 4" nonprofit organization under federal law, attorneys advised that registration in the state was not necessary, though disclosure is required and will be provided. Since the spending occurred after July 23 — the deadline for the last filing of state reports — the report legally need not be filed until Oct. 10. Waters said HSLF is actually going beyond requirements of state law by sending its report earlier.
Niceley, now a state representative, won the Aug. 2 Republican primary in the six-county Senate District 8 with 7,020 votes, according to unofficial returns. Cynthia Bundren Jackson finished second with 5,430, followed by Jeffrey Brantley with 1,816 and Hobart Rice with 1,483.
Two of the HSLF mail pieces supported Brantley while attacking Niceley, presenting Union County Commissioner Brantley as an opponent of horse slaughter and "canned hunts" while supportive of stronger penalties for cockfighting.
"I think they (the HSLF mailings) helped me," said Niceley. "Farmers and animal owners — people who live in the real world — know better than to believe this stuff. The Humane Society doesn't live in the real world."
Waters said he is "comfortable we did the right thing" in "educating voters" about Niceley's position on animal rights issues, which stood out in a review of state legislative races around the nation.
"I think we were very effective in letting the constituents know how Frank Niceley acts," he said. "We believe the margin was closer than it would have been if we had not participated in the election."
The anti-Niceley mailings were the first independent expenditure by HSLF in Tennessee, Waters said, but may not be the last. There was an unprecedented surge in PAC independent expenditures involving state legislative races prior to the Aug. 2 primary by groups pushing various issues ranging from gun owner rights to changes in state education laws.
The biggest independent expenditure by a PAC reported so far in legislative campaigns was more than $100,000 spent by a group representing StudentsFirst, which bills itself as promoting education reform, in promoting Rep. John DeBerry, D-Memphis, who won his race. But the most publicized spending was by the NRA in opposing House Republican Caucus Chairman Debra Maggart of Hendersonville, who was defeated.
Niceley had a brush with the NRA as well. A postcard mailed to NRA members in the district says he lied about his NRA rating in campaign materials, listing himself with an "A+" when he had a "C." Niceley notes he did have an "A+" until it was changed in late July.
Niceley, assured of election to the Senate because he has no opponent in November, says the NRA move was deceptive, unfair and probably helped him while hurting the NRA in an area where he is known as an ardent supporter of gun owner rights.
"I've had life members (of the NRA) call me up and say they were canceling their life membership because of this," he said.
NRA representatives did not return a reporter's call seeking comment.

The North East is well suited to production of feedstock for bioethanol and alcohol production on account of its relatively high yields of low protein wheat grain, its proximity to points of processing and, through its mixed farms, opportunities for recycling nitrogen and thereby saving greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ADAS completed a strategic review sponsored by One North East through the North East Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) as part of the Regional Strategy for Transport Biofuels and in association with Northeast Biofuels. The work relied on alcohol yield data made available by Scotch Whisky Research Institute (SWRI) as well as further analysis of data from HGCA funded projects, the Recommended List and RL Plus. The analysis considers the best variety choice for the North East, and the implications of grain yields, drying and fertilizer prices, and their influence on methods and levels of GHG emissions and accreditation. The final report can be downloaded here.

"Several years ago I decided to include the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the National Capital Chapter in my estate plans. Having had MS for over 3 decades, I have seen firsthand the outstanding work that the Society does on so many levels. Thirty years ago I participated in a group for the newly diagnosed that was run by the local D.C. Chapter. It is not an overstatement to say that those sessions changed my outlook on my illness and gave me hope and confidence, which has helped me live a full and productive life. Over the years I have benefited directly from the Society's outreach, education and research initiatives. The goal of the MS Society, to have a world free of MS, is something I am happy to participate in." – From Lawry Circle member Cynthia Sitcov |
"My husband, Dave, and I were so pleased to leave a cash bequest to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, National Capital Chapter in our wills. This contribution, very appropriately directed to the (Sylvia) Lawry Circle, is designed to provide the same crucial support to people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as the Chapter and Society gave me 18 years ago when I was diagnosed. Ms. Lawry was the first of the volunteers, supporters, and staff members to establish the organization that still provides information, fellowship and financial support for all of us dedicated to ending multiple sclerosis."

Political Party Platforms: Do They Really Matter?
Political platforms are called exercises in democracy that give voice to grassroots activists. But Republican chairman Reince Priebus has already said that this year's effort is, "the platform of the Republican Party. It's not the platform of Mitt Romney." Do both parties share the same risk of platforms that cater to narrow constituencies: somebody might read them. Also, President Obama warns Syria against the use of chemical weapons, and a "flash drought" on the Mississippi means it's not so mighty — at least for now.

Obama Warns Syria against the Use of Chemical Weapons ()
Troops and tanks swept into a town near Damascus today in another assault aimed at crushing opposition to the al-Assad regime. President Obama said the US would consider intervention if Assad attempt to use chemical or biological weapons. Adam Entous is national security correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.

Main Topic
Political Party Platforms: Do They Really Matter? ()
A committee of party insiders met for two days this week to write the Republican platform. It's expected to be adopted by the convention in Tampa next Monday. But the party chairman, Reince Priebus has already made it clear that it's "the platform of the Republican Party. It's not the platform of Mitt Rommey." Party platforms contain language to appease insiders, even though that carries the risk of political damage. In Tampa this week, the Platform Committee's anti-abortion plank revealed a split within the Republican Party and a potential threat to support from Independents. Advocacy of a flat tax and abolition of mortgage relief might also look too extreme. The Democrats will have to explain the embrace of same-sex marriage. When provisions cater to narrow constituencies, will politicians try to enact them if they're elected? Will the platforms have long-term influence once the conventions are over?

Low Waters on the Mighty Mississippi ()
Low flows of water have closed the Mississippi River five times this month, most recently on Monday. Yesterday, traffic began to flow again in both directions. But clearing stalled barges is a slow process with potential consequences for the economy, raising troubling questions about the environment. We get an update from Brad Walker, Wetlands and Flood Plain Director for the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, and Bob Anderson, Spokesperson for the Mississippi Valley Division of the Army Corps of Engineers.

And one retired deputy, a participant in the program, confirmed Wednesday that the program took juveniles to "where the molesters and hardened criminals were."
Both descriptions seem to fit the model of "scared straight" programs that are banned by federal and state laws.
Anniston resident Stacy Brown filed the suit against Amerson and a deputy – identified only as "Deputy Ward" – in the U.S. District Court for Northern Alabama in Birmingham Tuesday.
The suit states that on Feb. 4, Brown's son – identified only as J.B. – spent the day at the jail and was allegedly verbally and physically abused by corrections officers and was "assaulted" and "battered" by Amerson.
That suit states that J.B. was at the jail Feb. 4 to participate in what the suit called a "scared straight" program.
It describes in detail J.B.'s alleged encounter with several inmates during a tour of the jail.
Saks resident Ken Reeves, a law-enforcement officer who retired from a job as a part-time deputy in September, said he was asked to supervise juveniles in the program on a couple of different occasions in November 2009. Reeves said Sheriff's Office officials would tell him to take the juveniles in his care on tours through the jail so they could see the inmates.
There were usually only two juveniles under Reeves' supervision on each tour, he said. A corrections officer would meet Reeves and the juveniles at the front of the jail and accompany them on the tours, he said.
"They wanted me to take them over to the jail where the molesters and hardened criminals were," Reeves told The Star. "And the inmates would say things like, 'boy, we can't wait until you get in here with us; we can show you a thing or two.'"
Scared straight or community service?
Those descriptions of the program seem to run counter to a federal law that officials say prohibits any sight or sound contact between youthful offenders and adult inmates. The events described would also run counter to a state law, which bans youthful offenders from being detained in adult facilities as a way to modify those juveniles' behavior.
"The federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Act – and I know Alabama participates with it – states a youth who is in juvenile justice custody, he or she is not supposed to be in a locked facility for adults," said Tara Andrews, deputy director of the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit Coalition for Juvenile Justice. "They are not supposed to even literally be able to see or hear another adult inmate, because the purpose of the law is to protect young people from violence or harassment."
Attempts to reach Amerson Wednesday were unsuccessful, but a news release posted on the Sheriff's Office website Monday disputes the idea the program is of the scared-straight variety. The release stated the program, which Amerson has described as a service for teenagers who've been suspended from school or others who've committed minor crimes and are under the jurisdiction of the juvenile courts, was not a scared-straight program, but, instead, "an opportunity for community service."
Other than the release, Amerson and officials with Family Links, Inc., the children's behavior task force that helped form the program, have provided scant details about it.
"The activities will be structured in an environment that will educate the student about responsibility, respect and discipline under the direct supervision of a corrections officer," the release said. "The child will be required to perform manual labor tasks such as cutting grass and cleaning."
Descriptions match
Reeves' descriptions of the jail tours and the inmates' reactions to the juveniles seem to match the description of J.B.'s Feb. 4 experience as detailed in the Monday lawsuit.
Two hours after arriving at the jail, Deputy Ward and jail guards took J.B. and one other juvenile on a tour of the facility, the suit states. During that tour, the complaint states, the guards stopped in the laundry room.
"The guards then spoke to the inmates and asked the inmates if they wanted some little boys in there with them. The inmates said, 'yes,'" the suit alleged. "One of the inmates stated, while pointing at J.B., 'I want that little black one right there.'"
Later in the day, after lunch, J.B. and the other juvenile were taken on the rest of the tour, when "they spoke to an inmate named Douglas," the suit stated.
The suit then alleges Deputy Ward and other unnamed officers verbally and physically abused J.B., using racial slurs, pushing J.B. without cause and insulting his mother.
When J.B. curled his right fist into a ball by his side, the suit said, Deputy Ward noticed the gesture and threatened to put J.B. in a cell with Douglas, the inmate.
"J.B. began cussing at the officer. They handcuffed J.B. and put him in a room which he resisted after he was threatened with being locked up with an inmate," the suit alleged. "He was in the room for a long time, between one and two hours."
The suit said Amerson eventually came into that locked room to talk J.B. Part of what happened during that conversation is captured on a video first published by The Anniston Star March 30; the video clip shows the sheriff grabbing and holding down a boy dressed in an orange-striped inmate jumpsuit. The boy, whom the suit identifies as J.B., is shackled and has his hands cuffed behind his back during the incident.
Violation of law?
Juvenile justice experts who spoke with The Star Tuesday stated they thought the Sheriff's Office program for juveniles, even without inmate contact, was a scared straight program that was in violation of the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 and of the Alabama Juvenile Justice Act of 2008.
During interviews last week, Amerson and Family Links Director Lyndsey Gillam both said the program began as a way to let high-risk kids see what jail might be like.
Andrews, the Coalition for Juvenile Justice spokeswoman, said Tuesday that kind of reasoning is exactly what makes the program fit into the scared-straight category.
And Andrews specifically addressed the Calhoun County program.
"Even if the inmate never addresses juveniles or touches him or her, it sounds, because some of the young people are justice involved, they may be in violation of federal law," Andrews said.
Funding at stake
The federal law expressly prohibits youthful offenders from having any sort of sight or sound contact with inmates; it also bans those youthful offenders from being detained in adult facilities.
Furthermore, the Alabama Juvenile Justice Act of 2008 restricts youthful offenders from being "in secure custody in a secure section of a jail, lockup or correctional facility for adults as a disposition of an offense or as a means of modifying his or her behavior."
The Alabama Administrative Office of Courts published an addendum after the state law was passed to explain the reasoning behind it.
"This provision will expressly prohibit shock incarceration programs like 'scared straight,' which involve bringing juveniles into adult facilities for the purpose of scaring them into modifying their behavior," the court addendum reads. "Such programs are impermissible under federal law and jeopardize the state's eligibility for millions of dollars in federal funding for delinquency prevention programs."
Attempts to reach officials with the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs about how much federal funding the state and Calhoun County receive for delinquency prevention programs were unsuccessful Wednesday.
But a spokeswoman with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, an arm of the United States Department of Justice, said in an email that states stand to lose 20 percent of federal funding per violation of the 1974 federal law. That means states could lose 20 percent of funding every time they break one of four specific sections of the law, which expressly prohibits sight and sound contact between juvenile and adult offenders, the detaining of youthful offenders in adult facilities, allowing a disproportionate number of youthful offenders who are minorities to come into contact with adult offenders, and the institutionalization of status offenders, or juveniles who commit acts that are crimes only for juveniles, like underage drinking.
"If there are enough violations, then the state can lose any federal or juvenile justice money, millions of dollars," said Joe Vignati, the coordinator for the Governor's Office of Children and Families in Georgia, during a Tuesday conversation with The Star.
Repeated attempts this week to reach Amerson and other Sheriff's Office and Family Links officials this week about the specifics of the jail program have been unsuccessful.

@Internaut...yes i believe he did jump to some conclusions, we all have different reactions to any statement made by anyone. For instance, the "black people" comment on video, i am not sure what he said, but ,to me, it just did't sound right. But when he said that if a women was raped, she should not get an abortion, but to make the best of a bad situation, my conclusion was that he has no idea of some of the things he is talking about, he not a woman and would never have to give birth to the child of a man that raped him , so he really should have no say in it.
I appreciate your comments, i am sure there is something about everyone running that i don't like, but it just seems to me that he says a lot of things i don't like.

Two Four Eight Theory
This work is from my paper of 1976 and is in outline form.
1. Are hyperbolas similar to magnets? Is there a need for a unifying theory? 2. Do the following relations exist. a. circle corresponds to gravitation. b. hyperbolas correspond to magnets. c. parabolas correspond to electrons. 3. Can sequences be grouped in threes and can they be demonstrated in numerical sequence. a. one, two, and three dimensions have bilateral symmetries (ck). b. the dimensions demonstrate that two times four is equivalent to eight. 4. The human structure also demonstrates a property of cell division. That two times four equals eight. Or eight divided by two equals four. a. arms and legs are grouped to yield four parts. b. bilateral symmetry of human structure is. c. head is thought to contain eight spaces, however, there are actually seven spaces. 5. Can circles, hyperbolas, and parabolas be compared to the human body. Clearly, a circle can be compared to a human head. Hyperbolas are suggestive of arms opposite legs. Parabolas are suggestive of right and left hands.

What is Success? (Part 2)
Sometimes the best stories have no easy endings.
It can be surprising how often people have high expectations of other people–sometimes their expectations for others is higher than those they have for themselves. For example, at my post-college graduation party, one of my aunts appeared shocked to discover that I, a Political Science major, was not going to continue on to law school. Not that she's a lawyer, mind you; just that she assumed that was the way I was heading. I suppose for some of the people with whom I graduated my staying in Baltimore and working for the library proves me to be an underachiever. Perhaps they're right. Or perhaps I just had different priorities than they did, and a different measure of success.
I've been thinking about this quite a bit after reading the recent Washington Post profile of Cedric Jennings, the subject of Ron Suskind's A Hope in the Unseen, this year's One Maryland One Book project selection. Both the book and the article raise interesting questions about the meaning of success in America.
A Hope in the Unseen covers Jennings' transition from Washington DC's Ballou Senior High School to Brown University, a riveting, hope-filled account of his journey from the ghetto to the Ivy League. If the book were a novel or a film or made-for-cable movie, Jennings' next move would have been to Wall Street, financial success, and a large happy family living in a house in the suburbs.
As the Post reveals, the real story did not turn out that way. Cedric Jennings returned to the Washington area, and now works as a case manager for DC Child and Family Services. He is a success, he has "gotten out"—he just doesn't fit the expected model of success.
To my mind, that he hasn't followed some pre-set plan doesn't matter. One of the first African American science fiction writers, Samuel R. Delany, once said in an interview that what young black kids need more than anything else is "the possibility of possibilities." One has to imagine a world outside the confines of the "expected," to be able to imagine a way to "make it" that does not involve being a sports or music star, or being on one side or the other of the legal system. One sees such a limited range of achievement in struggling neighborhoods that any and all avenues of possibility need to be opened to the young people there. Underachieving teens suffer as much from an inability to imagine themselves elsewhere as they do anything else.
Adults, too, need to reconsider what their notions of success are as well. As was pointed out in the online comments about the Post article (one of which appears to be written by Jennings himself), the tone of the piece from the start is muted, negative, and vaguely condescending toward its subject. And there's little understanding of the pressures African Americans in particular face to "give back," and not repudiate the people and places one came from as you rise to the top. People want you to leave, but also want you to return, to help bring others up and out with you, which appears to be part of what Mr. Jennings is doing.
As Marylanders read A Hope in the Unseen this summer, I hope we keep these themes and ideas in mind. What does success mean to us and to our children? As we rise, how do we bring others with us, or at the very least, keep them from falling further behind?

Stories of Lives Impacted By KLRC
Feel the Presence of God - Anonymous (8/7/2010)
KLRC has made a difference to me. When I am having a bad day and feel like I have nowhere to turn, I know I can always turn to JESUS.
When I listen to KLRC I can feel the precence of God in my car. It's like He's sitting in the passenger seat and Ge's telling me, "Everything is going to be alright. Just believe and have faith, and trust in Me." KLRC does make a positive difference in lives, because it sure has changed my life.
From where I was to where I am today is a total turn around. I didn't grow up in a Christian environment. When I was fourteen I had my first child. I had my second one at sixteen, then my third at eighteen. In those years I was physically abused by their dad since I was fifteen years old. I didn't think that I would ever finish school, and everyone always told me I would never make it in life because I had children at a young age. But at the time I didn't know God had a plan for me.
I got into drugs really bad, started working at a bar, all while trying to raise my three kids. I felt like I had nothing to live for. I was being beat everyday and I didn't want to wake up, but my children kept me strong. Their dad got arrested and that was my time to get out of the relationship. I met my future husband at the bar I was working at. I didn't tell him that I was on drugs when I met him. Everyone I tried to talk to didn't care, they just wanted to supply me with more. But when I met my husband I knew he was different from the others.
Something told me to tell him about my drug problems. It was amazing. He listened to me and he said to me, "I will clean you up." I don't know if I should of believed him because of the way I have been treated, but I went with him. Our whole family got saved in 2007 and married in 2008. We had a daughter together, and I went to beauty college and graduated. I'm now going back for my instructor's licence and my husband is in the process of adopting my three children. I didn't know that this was God's plan the whole time, and never dreamed of going through all the trials I have been through.
God created my husband just for me. All I have to say to listeners is if God can change my life, He can change yours.

wanna bet?
most people are too stupid to have an "informed" opinion.
this is why 'boat people' is such a huge issue.
in reality boat people don't even matter compared to the illegals who come by "legit" transportation and just never leave.
Its the same reason why people buy the 'trickle down' economics theory.
its never worked anywhere in the world as an economic strategy yet heaps of people still think its great.

Shifting Realities: The Brothers Quay--Between Live Action and Animation
A stunning use of light gives the film its ethereal quality. Short animated sequences punctuate the film and complete the fairy tale environment, suspending time; they are minute and discrete visualizations, reminders of a metaphysical life which slumbers in the Institute.Stille Nacht (Silent Night).
Through the Roof
Whether working in animation or live-action, the Quays choose to use what they call a lateral hierarchy of cinematic formal aspects; unlike conventional films, in which the hierarchy is vertical, topped by a script and narrative, the Quays cast the Institute before the actors. "We wanted the film to move more in the direction of the fable or the fairy tale (or at least a notion of it), as Walser did obliquely. He didn't walk in the front door, he came through the roof, so to speak. Thus, in order to, score something of, as Walser called it, the 'senseless but all the same meaningful 'fairy tale," we started by casting the decor as the main actor. We felt that the essential 'mysterium' of the film should be the institute itself, as though it had its own inner life and former existence which seemed to dream upon its inhabitants, and exert its own conspiratorial spell and undertows. That time and space should be ambiguous, that the locale of the film would be less geographical than spiritual, all to score that particularly Walserian half-waking, half-sleeping 'world in between.' And, since we've always maintained a belief in the illogical, the irrational ... and the obliqueness of poetry, we don't think exclusively in terms of narrative, but also the 'parenthesis' that lay hidden behind the narrative." A gesture to their loyalty to puppet film aesthetics, the Quays' remarked that they "treated the actors with as much respect as we treated our puppets." They are currently working on a new live-action feature project, which will once again incorporate animated sequences, further exploring the melange of these two techniques.
In scenes of elusive cinematic and literary reference which identify the Quays' films, one is obliquely reminded of silent filmmakers Kirsanov, Murnau, the surrealist Buñuel and the Russian film poet Tarkowsky; of Kafka (who was greatly influenced by Walser) and of essential myth and fairy tale. Continuing collaboration with the Polish composer Leszek Jankowski supports and counterpoints their careful visual choreography, whether of puppets, exquisite objects or actors. Like Lisa Benjamenta, the images are simultaneously fragile and immortal. The films evade a postmodern context or interpretation, and their epiphanic moments and dreamscapes provide a momentary orientation, but are themselves even greater enigmas within the film's poetic fabric.
Seen as a whole, the Brothers Quay's works are independent of any definable genre; indeed, the imitation of their unique style which can be observed in films of other animators are a complimentary gesture to the auteur style they have developed. Throughout their opus, a continuity can be observed Quays' devotion to the marginal, the nobody and the unnoticed, elevated into the sublime.
Their films are unbound by time, preferring to investigate what they call "a poetry of shadowy encounters and almost conspiratorial secretiveness." Whether commissioned or independently produced by long-time collaborator Keith Griffiths, Institute Benjamenta retains the unique signature which informs their work. "We like going for long walks, metaphorically, into whatever country we go to--we could disappear in any country." For the Quays, the realm of animation remains a favored locus of future cinematic sojourn.

Just 9.3mph: that's the average car speed in London
According to Transport Statistics Great Britain 2007 the average speed of a car in central London in the morning rush hour is just 9.3 miles per hour. This is only twice the speed of walking.
According to research published by Citroen last year, cyclists average 13-15 miles per hour.
And according to motorists' GPS data collected by keepmoving.co.uk, Britain's cities have some of the slowest car speeds in Europe.
Traffic speed in 30 cities across Europe was surveyed during a four month period from June to September 2007. Keepmoving.co.uk identified London as Europe's slowest city and ranks six British cities in the top 10 slowest cities in Europe.
Alex Petrie, product director at Keepmoving.co.uk, said:
"To complete the study, large quantities of GPS data were collected directly from thousands of vehicles travelling throughout Europe. Examining this data has allowed us to calculate average speeds from the perspective of the road user, which provides a far more realistic benchmark over a far wider area, than by measuring road speeds at pre-specified locations."
Keepmoving.co.uk is a company that makes its money from advising motorists of gridlock hotspots but, revealingly, a company statement plugged bicycle use:
"In London, it is quicker to hop on a bike, as cyclists at rush hour recorded an average speed of 14 mph and even a horse and cart travels at 7 mph."

Leon den Toom
Zoetermeer, The NetherlandsEverything you need!
We stayed in the appartment of Marji for 2 weeks.
Everything you need for a relaxing holiday is in there. -
PhoenixRelaxing and comfortable
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was conveniently located to the airport, which gave us quick access to get out and dive the best sites on the island. The dive shop was just a few steps from the apartment, which made things amazingly convenient. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
ChicagoWonderful Stay Excellent ammenities!
I contacted Marji through a friend on the Island, and suggested I stay with her properties. Accomodations were excellent and close to town. Beautiful Marble floor and a spacious apartment. Felt very comfortable and enjoyed our breakfast on the porch over looking the water. We are already planning our next visit with Marji.
Thank You, See you in September 2014! -
Bradley P
Houston, TXGreat apartment--great value
We just returned from a week at this apartment and we couldn't be happier. The condo is very spacious, clean, and everything is in working order. Marji is also very attentive and responsive. She lives one building over and is available, should you need anything. She even gives you a local cell phone to use in case you need to get in touch with her. For the price, it is a great value. Location is great. Dive shop on premises is also fantastic. We will definitely stay here again!
Haworth, NJA perfect place to stay for a diving vacation.
This was the 2nd visit to Bonaire for my wife and me. The first time we stayed at a B&B;, but this time we wanted to have our "own" place where we could cook and prepare some of our meals ourselves. The place is only 3-4 minutes from the airport and Marji met us there at 5 in the morning, and she was very helpful and answered all the questions we have about the place and the island in general.
The apartment is in a nice and quiet complex and definitely not a tourist place. You can hear some air traffic, but that is not that frequent and didn't bother us at all. They have a dive shop on site that we used and that was convenient and they gave us a 15% discount on air since we stayed there. The apartment is about a mile from "downtown", so we had no problem walking into town for dinner.
The apartment was nice, clean and felt very open and light. The balcony with the table and chairs was nice for breakfast or dinner, with a peaceful view over the canal. The place had a washing machine and a full kitchen, with coffee maker, blender (Margaritas with the local Tequila) etc.
Overall we had a great stay in Bonaire and the freedom of your own place is great. We would highly recommend this apartment.
Response from Marjorie Keith - 04/26/2013
Thank you for the great review Bjorn! That is exactly how I imagine my guests enjoying the apartment - breakfast at home prepared in your own kitchen, a glass of wine or margarita out on the terrace at sunset, picking up your tanks at the on-site dive shop, an evening walk to one of the nearby restaurants... Everything easy and at your own pace. See you next time!

San Francisco, CALovely condo and terrific host.
I travel to Bonaire at least once per year for windsurfing and try to stay at one of Marji's condos in Caribbean Court every chance I get. On some trips I've missed my chance as a result of my late planning since she tends to be booked due to the quality and value of her rental units. This condo was spotlessly clean, well maintained, and tastefully decorated. The high quality linens and cute european style dishes made me feel right at home. The condo is perfectly located close to town but not so close that it's noisy. I really enjoyed the cool breeze and the view of the waterway that runs inland to the condo complex. I definitely recommend all of Marji's rental units and she's a joy to work with. Can't wait until my next stay!
BerlinThe perfect condo!
We spent three weeks in March on Bonaire and were lucky to stay in this condo for a couple of days. The host was very kind and helpful, the appartment is perfect for a couple and has everything you need for a prolonged stay. The location is good, close to the city center and only 15 minutes car ride from Sorobon beach. We very much enjoyed our stay there!
Vancouver Island, British ColumbiaGreat place to stay!!!
The accommodations were clean, well furnished and cared-for. Marji, the owner, was extremely attentive. Even brought me a blanket in the event the air conditioner was too effective (most places in Bonaire have provided me with light sheets only, as a not-too-subtle way to promote energy efficiency). The unit is very well located, close to town core, but in a quiet area. I would definitely return. In fact, I was somewhat reluctant to write this, hoping to keep this gem of a place my own little secret.
Captain Nick
Toronto, Ontario, CanadaPerfect spot in Paradise...
I must say, quite few things impressed us with this deal. First the owner. Over the months she responded to our each and every question very quickly, in detail and made us feel comfortable with out decision. This was our first Vrbo booking and as one can imagine we were bit nervous. Once we arrived, the location made us dropped our jaw. The unit is right on the water. It can not get any better. Also all the contents are thought about and in perfect condition. There was even a binder full of instructions, pointers, ideas and brochures.
We were on a week long scuba trip. We were supposed to do hard core 4-5+ dives a day. But the apartment and location was so nice that, we decided to take advantage and enjoy even more by spending late afternoons there or in the Plaza just next door.
The details are also very impressing.. For example, the cell phone left for the use of tenants, the directory already had owner's and few other critical numbers in it. The wireless net connection was working perfect and we ended up using G-phone and Skype for most Christmas and New year voice chatter. There was even an icebox in the house to use during our day dive trips.
We are already planning our future trips and cannot wait to be there soon. We left safe and comfortable and would recommend to other lucky future tenants.

SteamPlay and Mac Game Publishing
Posted by Russ LooneyOn the sales side, Valve's support of the Mac platform via Steam right now is reliant on publishers participating in Steam Play which is Valve's program of releasing every game "Hybrid" despite who did the development work. Right now there is no compensation for the publisher if their game is downloaded but not purchased. For the publisher this is tough to swallow and I think this is a hindrance to Valve seeing the same market dominance on the Mac as it has on the PC. I believe if Steam even offered a Mac version of an existing PC game for just $5 there would be less of a barrier for Mac publishers to sell content on Steam, the consumers would still get a great gaming experience across two platforms, and a big catalog of great content could find it's way to Steam.This blurb is only a small part of what turned out to be a really great interview. Talking points include transparency between Mac game developers/publishers and the Mac gaming community, DRM, the upcoming Mac App Store, and the potential threat of emulation software. It's a great read that will give anyone that's interested a fantastic insight into the inner-workings of Mac game development and publishing. Big thanks to the team at IMG for asking us to participate!

Getting started with Twitter
Amy Gahran explains Twitter for journalists in a new post. It includes a straight-up tutorial on how to get started.
One thing I would emphasize: Twitter is all about whom you are following ( "follow" is to Twitter as the verb "friend" is to Facebook). If you are following very few people, or uninteresting people, or people who simply do not tweet very much, then Twitter will seem useless to you.
When you are following a set of relatively chatty people who are tuned in to your interest areas, what happens is this: They tip you off. In their little 140-character tweets, they often point out stuff you will be happy to see or watch or read.
That's one of the big values in Twitter.
Update: Tom Cheredar ponders how newspapers should use Twitter (Oct. 25).
