In its own sloppy, raunchy, sophomoric, occasionally self-pleased and consistently energetic way, This Is the End is just about perfect at executing its mission, which is to poke fun at its stars, exhaust every R-rated possibility to get a laugh, and even sneak in a few insights into Hollywood, the celebrity culture and the nature of faith.

UPDATED: Children's heart surgery to end at Yorkshire hospital
7:01pm Wednesday 4th July 2012 in News By Mark Stead , Political Reporter
CHILDREN from York and North Yorkshire who need life-saving heart surgery will be forced to travel to Newcastle for treatment after health bosses controversially decided to end operations in Leeds.
The NHS confirmed tonight that the paediatric surgery centre at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) will be a victim of a move to "streamline" provision across the UK - but campaigners have vowed to fight on.
The decision, made after a marathon meeting of the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts today, means children from the region face having to make a two-hour trip to Newcastle for treatment.
The plans had been criticised by parents whose children are or have been treated at Leeds, as well as heart doctors and MPs from all parties, and more than 600,000 people signed a petition calling for operations to remain at LGI.
The NHS has said it wants to concentrate specialist equipment and expertise at fewer centres as services are currently spread too thinly.
Heart surgery will be stopped at three of the ten hospitals where procedures are currently performed, with Leicester and London's Royal Brompton Hospital also affected.
Twelve options were discussed by the committee today. The units where surgery will end will remain open for diagnosis, monitoring and non-surgical treatment, and are expected to keep providing specialist surgery throughout 2013 while detailed plans for the changes are drawn up.
Myriam Barker, 39, from York, whose five-year-old daughter Margaux had open heart surgery at LGI which saved her life after she was diagnosed with a condition called an atrial septal defect, called the news "very disappointing" but said: "We will continue to campaign - 600,000 people are behind us and we still have very, very strong points to make."
She said the decision was a close one, hence the long meeting, and said: "We are going to carry on putting our points across and we hope we can change the NHS' mind - this is not the end."
Emma Mallett, 14, from York, survived a serious defect of the aorta as a six-year-old after being treated at LGI, and her father Simon said: "I hope this decision will now be referred to the Government to decide surgery should remain at Leeds, and it makes a different decision.
"If this process was starting again now, Leeds would be an obvious choice for a unit, so the campaign, with cross-party support, will undoubtedly continue."
Committee chairman Sir Neil McKay said the streamlining of services was "a landmark decision" which would improve care for children with congenital heart disease.
He said: "The needs of children, not the vested interests of hospitals, have been at the heart of this review and we only took the decision after undergoing a robust, fair and transparent process."
He said the decisions were difficult and some people would be disappointed, but said: "We strongly believe our decision is in the best interests of all children and will ensure services are safe and sustainable for the future."
Sharon Cheng, director of the Children's Heart Surgery Fund, claimed the LGI decision lacked "clinical logic" and had "ignored co-location and patient choice". She said they would now be appealing to Health Secretary Andrew Lansley.

(8:1-3) After King Limhi is done with his speech, he makes Ammon tell everyone what his people have been up to since the time that Zeniff left the land of Zarahemla. Ammon agrees, and throws in King Benjamin's speech as a bonus.
(8:1) "After king Limhi had made an end of speaking to his people, for he spake many things unto them and only a few of them have I written in this book, he told his people all the things concerning their brethren who were in the land of Zarahemla."
(8:2) "And he caused that Ammon should ... rehearse unto them all that had happened unto their brethren from the time that Zeniff went up out of the land even until the time that he himself came up out of the land."
(8:3) "And he also rehearsed unto them the last words which king Benjamin had taught them."
(8:4-6) Then King Limhi dismisses his people and the "multitude" go home. Lemhi brings out the plates of his people and makes Ammon read them. After Ammon finishes reading the plates, Limhi asks him if he can interpret languages. Ammon says he can't.
(8:4) "After he had done all this, that king Limhi dismissed the multitude, and caused that they should return every one unto his own house."
(8:5) "He caused that the plates which contained the record of his people from the time that they left the land of Zarahemla, should be brought before Ammon, that he might read them."
(8:6) "Now, as soon as Ammon had read the record, the king inquired of him to know if he could interpret languages, and Ammon told him that he could not."
(8:7-10) King Limhi explains how he sent a search party to find Zarahemla, but they couldn't find it. They got lost in the wilderness for many days and came upon a land of many waters, which was covered with the bones of men and beasts. Among the ruins they found 24 golden engraved plates, breastplates of brass and copper, and rusty swords.
(8:7) "And the king said ... I caused that forty and three of my people should take a journey into the wilderness, that thereby they might find the land of Zarahemla."
(8:8) "And they were lost in the wilderness for the space of many days ... having traveled in a land among many waters, having discovered a land which was covered with bones of men, and of beasts, and was also covered with ruins of buildings of every kind ... peopled with a people who were as numerous as the hosts of Israel."
(8:9) "And ... they have brought twenty-four plates which are filled with engravings, and they are of pure gold."
(8:10) "And behold, also, they have brought breastplates, which are large, and they are of brass and of copper."
(8:11) "They brought swords." Ammon finds ancient swords. If swords existed in pre-Columbian America, why is there no evidence of it today?
(8:12-14) Then King Limhi asks him again if he can translate, or if he knows anyone else who can. Ammon says that the King of Zarahemla could probably do it. He's a seer, after all.
(8:12) "Knowest thou of any one that can translate?"
(8:13) "Now Ammon said unto him: I can assuredly tell thee, O king, of a man that can translate the records ... it is a gift from God. And the things are called interpreters ... whosoever is commanded to look in them, the same is called seer."
(8:14) "And behold, the king of the people who are in the land of Zarahemla is the man that is commanded to do these things."
(8:15-17) King Limhi was happy to have found a seer. Both Ammon and Limhi agreed that seers are far superior to prophets. You see, a seer is both a revelator and a prophet. (Of course, Joseph Smith was all three). Seers are handy to have around, because they reveal stuff, tell secrets, light up hidden things, make things known, and make other things known that couldn't have been known otherwise. It's a hard job.
(8:15) "A seer is greater than a prophet. He is a revelator with a Divine gift that is greater than all others."
(8:16) "A seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have."
(8:17) "A seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed."

We were very impressed with this hotel. Our room contained 2 queen beds and flat screen tv with a sitting area with a sofa, desk, microwave and small... refrigerator and another flat screen tv. It was a large room and very clean, including the bathroom which can often be hit or miss on cleanliness. They had several amenities that were appreciated and showed a thoughtfulness toward their guests such as a full length mirror, a lighted mirror over the sink and convenient plugs for recharging phones, computers, etc., a hair dryer, and even an iron. Their breakfast was also very good with several hot dishes. There was an indoor pool which we didn't use. The hotel was located very conveniently to the highway and surrounding area but that also contributed to my only complaint with this hotel in that the noise from traffic could be loud at times. Overall we were very happy with this hotel and would definitely stay here again. – Kim Michigan-st 04/12/2013

we all remember ocarina of time? and how you couldnt get the triforce (whole) in it? if you are like me you went on MANY MANY "holy grail" type quests to get the triforce... So why not post your crazy quests right here.. ill share a few in my next post..
I'll start with the short one.. When i was playing Ocarina.. I went to this one site... Gamer X or soemthing like that.. and he had a whole section of Triforce rumors.. This was one that nearly checked out: In the unfrozen Zora falls underwater is a cave.. a mysterious cave that can't be gotten into with the gold scale even.. I tried everything.. normal dives, angled dives.. the high dive.. EVERYTHING.. it cant be gotten into.. this started the whole "platinum scale" thing so that you would get it somehow and then you'd be able to dive down in there and get the triforce or in there was a new temple. anyhow to this day i dont know whats down there.. its pretty easy to find too.. next time you play ocarina you should seek this cave...
This one was a little more farfetched but sounded real at the time hehe..
This guy with this real "proper" type name (like Kenneth G Holden III) who claimed to be the cousin of a Nintendo exec said that if you got all 100 skulltullas and then you went to all the moonstones and made them fly up in the sky (explode a bomb next to the,) then go back in time and go to links house.. in there would be shadow link.. and he would tell you where this platinum scale was.. and so then you could get into that mysterious cave
I never got any rumors for Ocarina... either I found them out myself or a friend hinted something to me.. at the time I didn't have the internet ... that is a scary thought..
lol like 6 months ago i went back to that old site and one of his last updates was that it was obtainable.. with a gameshark.. you needed to enter some code that allowsd you to "clip" you know, go through walls and such, and then you'd jump down somewhere and fall and link is just falling through black.. then you land in water all of a sudden and you swim around and the game like glitches and the next thing you see is link and a spinning triforce.. he said he tried it and confirmed it as working.. well i believe it.. unfortunantly you dont get any like credit or anything for seeing it as its a glitch but still its pretty cool

Steve McIntyre Re-Elected as Debian Project Leader
Debian developers have decided: Steve McIntyre has been re-elected as Debian leader for the next legislative period.
Voters had until April 11 to choose between McIntyre and Stefano (Zack) Zacchiroli. Both candidates had used their election campaigns to prioritize communication within the Project. McIntyre admitted he'd underestimated how time-intensive the top job can be and hadn't quite achieved everything he had set out to do. Hence McIntyre's promise to appoint Luk Claes as his assistant if he won.
The Debian Project uses the relatively complicated Condorcet method for its project leader polls. According to statistics, from 1013 developers entitled to take part, 361 have voted. They were asked to choose between the two candidates but also had a so-called "none of the above" option. All possible two-way stand-offs are taken into account so the winner has to win using different tally methods and evaluations. Results have been published on the Debian Project website. They show that McIntyre received the most votes and will lead the Debian Project for another year. This includes the further development of the next stable Debian/GNU Linux version, codenamed Squeeze.

January 27 – Happy Birthday Milt Gaston
One could sum up today's Pinstripe Birthday Celebrant's career with three words, "strange but interesting." It started out late but promising. Though this right-handed hurler never played an inning of minor league ball, he was already 28-years-old when he signed with the Yankees in 1924. Up until then, he had been playing semi-pro baseball for a company-sponsored team back in his native New Jersey. Such teams were common throughout the country during much of the first half of the 20th century and the competition was certainly, in many cases, minor-league quality. In fact, Gaston's semi-pro team regularly played exhibition games versus Major League clubs and through the years, he had offers from several of them to pitch for their organizations. But it wasn't until the Yankees offered him a contract that he decided to make the move.
That happened in 1924. Gaston joined a Yankee team that had won the franchise's first World Series the year before. Miller Huggins was his manager and a fellow rookie, Lou Gehrig, his first big league roommate. Huggins liked Gaston a lot and got him into 29 games during his rookie season, mostly as a reliever. In fact, he won his first four straight big league decisions coming out of the bullpen, before Huggins gave him a chance to start. Gaston's signature pitch was a fork ball that moved so much, there were times he had no idea where the ball was going. As a result, he would often walk an awful lot of hitters, and in his first ever big league start, he issued eight bases on balls against the St. Louis Browns in six-plus innings and suffered his first loss. But all-in-all, his rookie season had been a success. He finished it with a 5-3 record and a save, a budding friendship with the Iron Horse, plus Huggins liked his stuff. Gaston was certainly in a good place to be with his baseball career. But not for long.
The 1924 Yankees had failed to make it back to the World Series for the first time in three years, and New York owner Jacob Rupert, who was George Steinbrenner before George Steinbrenner was even born, wanted better pitching. He heard the St. Louis Browns wanted to trade their four-time 20-game winner, Urban Shocker and he went after him hard. The deal between the two teams was reached a week before Christmas in 1924. The Yanks sent Gaston, starting pitcher Bullet Joe Bush and another pitcher named Joe Giard to the Browns for Shocker. When Huggins told Gaston he had been traded, the Yankee manager also told the departing pitcher he hated to lose him.
Thus, Gaston's pinstriped career ended but he would go on to establish a few unusual Major League firsts. He holds the record for giving up the most hits in a shutout, 14. He also owns the record for taking part in the most double plays as a pitcher in a single game, 4. Though he was teammates with 17 different future Hall of Famers during his eleven-year career, they all must have been in hitting slumps on the days Gaston pitched because his career record was 97-164, which gives him the record for most games below the .500 mark for pitchers with at least 100 decisions. In addition to the Yankees and Browns, he also pitched for the White Sox, Senators and Red Sox, and while with Boston, he got the opportunity to pitch to his older brother, catcher Alex Gaston, during the 1929 season. Milt Gaston kept setting records after he retired in 1934. He became the only former player with at least ten years of service to live to 100. He died in his sleep in a Massachusetts nursing home in 1996.
This other Yankee pitcher and this former AL Rookie of the Year were also born on January 27th.

Gold 'N Hot Ceramic Conical Iron
StefanieCanadaHairAuburnNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairHeat Glove Was Not Included!I can't give a detailed decription of how it works because I cant use it: there is no heat resistant glove included! Not sure why the glove is missing, but the website says it's included and the box says there is a glove included... but there isn't. I'm pretty disappointed because I was so excited to have received this curler. But I can't use it without a glove, I will not risk burning myself!!!
Hopefully, I just got unlucky, but I would hold off buying this until there is some clarification as to whether the glove actually is included or not, and if they all don't have gloves or just my box had missing items for some reason.posted Jan 15, 2013Link to this post

It has been mentioned on the BS2 podcasts that you will meet characters with various ideologies, creating a similar dynamic to Ryan's Objectivism and Fontaine's perpetuance of Capitalism. I haven't seen much discussion about this on the forum, so I was curious: What ideologies would you like to see included in BS2?
Communism/Socialism would seem to be a logical inclusion as a counteraction of Ryan's Objectivism.

The beds and pillows were comfortable, and my friend and I were sorry we didn't have time to use the many amenities other than the free wi-fi. The fridge, the microwave, the lovely pool and cabana area are great added […] benefits. The free breakfast the next morning was terrific with plenty of options, unlike other places I've stayed.

"Good but loud"
Ebony was extremely helpful to me and really made my stay easy. I also enjoyed the breakfast. I did find it odd that people "softball team" were allowed to scream and yell with no regard to other customers. I also got the impression that some of the people using the pool were not guests but lived closed enough to be dropped off to use it.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Not bad for the price, really"
Two nights there, and both were pretty good. Staff seemed helpful and pleasant, breakfast buffet was decent, had enough variety to make it interesting, seemed line mostly frozen foods heated up but it's not The Ritz so for what it was, it was pretty good, and if you like waffles they have a waffle machine--coffee wasn't bad, which is surprising for […] a hotel, usually I don't touch the stuff in a hotel, but this was actually good--overall it was a pleasant stay except for kids being super noisy in the pool at 7am but I'd rather they choose 7 am to do that than 5am, lol. And the rooms were decently clean but coukd gave used a bit more care in certain spots. Would recommend it to anyone passing thru who needs a quick night or two to crash.

Hampton Inns are always nice. This one was nice too. I was surprised that it wasn't built like the others with an interior hall and elevator. It was a motor lodge.

This hotel was highly rated and the room was reasonably comfortable, but the service was mediocre at best. We had to call the office twice to get our promised rollaway bed and each day had to remind them we needed extra towels, even though we left notes for the maids. Our last night there, several other fmilies checked in and were running and yelling […] up and down the stairs until nearly midnight. When we came to the lobby for "breakfast", the tables and chairs provided were sticky and filthy. We arrived an hour before breakfast supposedly ended and were told they didn't want to make more waffle mix...couldn't we eat something else? When my daughter insisted, the woman brought her a dixie cup partially filled with waffle batter( enough for one small waffle- there were 3 of us).

New Billboard Campaign on Medical Marijuana Initiative
A billboard that reads "Welcome to Yellowstone County, Where the Will of the People Doesn't Count" us up on Montana Avenue in Billings. The billboard encourages Montanans to vote "NO" on IR-124.
Initiative Referendum 124 (IR-124) is the voter initiative that will appear on this year's ballot. It allows voters keep or reject the new medical marijuana law passed by the infamous 2011 "Bat Crap Crazy" Montana legislature. (An initiative referendum is the process for citizens to put bills passed by the legislature on the ballot for everyone to vote on.) The new law, Senate Bill 423, sponsored by Billings Republican Jeff Essmann, repealed the citizen initiative voters passed in 2004 in favor of medical marijuana. A "YES" vote is to keep the Jeff Essmann law, a "NO" vote is to reject it. (An easy way to remember how to vote on the ballet items this year is to vote "NO" on everything except the one about Citizens United.)
During the 2011 session, the Governor called SB 423 "unconstitutional on its face," and issued an amendatory veto to fix the parts he considered legally defective. The legislature rejected his changes.
Essmann had thought to run for Governor on the Republican ticket, but he ended up quickly dropping out of the race. Everywhere he went, the state Senator from Billings was hounded by by large numbers of angry protestors, upset with Essmann over the his notorious medical marijuana stance. It got so bad that when the Republican announced his campaign for Governor, Essmann did it the only way he could find to avoid the angry crowds: on a conference call.
So voters got together and collected the signatures to get IR-124 on the ballot to let Montanans have the last word–the chance to vote "YES" or "NO" on whether Jeff Essmann's medical marijuana bill should stand.
The billboard was put up by the Montana Cannabis Industry Association, best known for its legal challenge to the current medical marijuana law:
"Through their repeal efforts, the legislature ignored the will of the people and claimed to be abiding by it all at the same time," says Chris Lindsey, President of the MTCIA. "First, they rushed to repeal the original law and leave patients with nothing. When that failed, the same group of people came up with their current back-door effort at repeal – by making participation in the state program as painful and risky as possible. Voters need to regain control of this issue, repeal the current terrible law and demand a realistic set of regulations. No one wants to go back to the way things were, but what we have now is worse for patients."

Cosmo guides you to five pleasure receptors on your man's bod. After tonight, you'll be seared into his memory.
Special Offer
Page 1 of 5
You know how to work his body, but do you know how it works? The key to giving a guy maximum pleasure is using moves that make the most of his biology. "Having a better grasp of your partner's physiology will intensify sex for both of you," says Lana Holstein, MD, author of
Your Long Erotic Weekend.
"When you understand why he reacts to certain touches and the best way to trigger those responses, you'll be able to give him extreme gratification." Intrigued? So were we, which is why we embarked on more randy research. Read on for our findings...then use your guy's bod to do some lusty lab work of your own.
Secret Sex Zone 1: Cremaster Muscle
A man's penis isn't the only body part that experiences a rise and fall. "The cremaster, which lines the inside of the scrotum and extends into the groin, controls testicular contractions," explains Barbara Bartlik, MD, a psychiatrist and sex therapist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. "It works kind of like a bungee cord, pulling the testicles upward in response to cold and releasing them when the temperature changes."
How to master it:
This magic muscle also responds to sexual stimulation, causing his boys to contract when he's about to orgasm. "The closer a man is to climaxing, the more his testicles recede," explains Debra Fromer, MD, an assistant attending urologist at Hackensack University Medical Center, in New Jersey. In turn, pulling down on his balls when you're in the midst of passion delays ejaculation, prolonging his pleasure.
So take advantage of Mother Nature and give your guy the kind of big O that'll make his head spin by working against gravity and gently tugging on his pals as you're giving him oral (when you have primo access). Start by teasing his inner thighs with your tongue. Then, "take his penis into your mouth, cup the scrotum with one hand and pull it away from his body," says Lou Paget, author of
The Great Lover Playbook.
"Start off very gently, and ask your partner to let you know how hard he wants you to pull," suggests Paget. "Get into a rhythmic pattern, working your hands in tandem with your mouth movements to virtually double the sensation."

Hi, Sorry - I had meant data being distributed on nodes (not necessary compute) - and in Lustre case in dedicated data servers called OSTs - and not in a central SAN. I believe Lustre can actually run compute + IO today on the same nodes but not a recommended configuration as it may lead to some data corruption - saw a FAQ on this and CFS points to a new version that will resolve this problem.

Tragic facts here. What punishment for the son?
Wow, that is just beyond f'd up. Would have to contemplate but stepping outside of myself; would have to look into the law and crimes of passion. I mean its not like he secretly found and then put forth a plan. It was more of a passionate reaction. A whole lot of powerful emotions invoked in that moment. Dang.

POTH: Holder & DOJ seek to curtail stiff drug sentences

Justice Dept. Seeks to Curtail Stiff Drug Sentences
By CHARLIE SAVAGE
Published: August 12, 2013 188 Comments
WASHINGTON In a major shift in criminal justice policy, the Obama administration will move on Monday to ease overcrowding in federal prisons by ordering prosecutors to omit listing quantities of illegal substances in indictments for low-level drug cases, sidestepping federal laws that impose strict mandatory minimum sentences for drug-related offenses.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., in a speech at the American Bar Associations annual meeting in San Francisco on Monday, is expected to announce the new policy as one of several steps intended to curb soaring taxpayer spending on prisons and help correct what he regards as unfairness in the justice system, according to his prepared remarks.
Saying that too many Americans go to too many prisons for far too long and for no good law enforcement reason, Mr. Holder is planning to justify his policy push in both moral and economic terms.
Although incarceration has a role to play in our justice system, widespread incarceration at the federal, state and local levels is both ineffective and unsustainable, Mr. Holders speech says. It imposes a significant economic burden totaling $80 billion in 2010 alone and it comes with human and moral costs that are impossible to calculate.
Mr. Holder will also introduce a related set of Justice Department policies that would leave more crimes to state courts to handle, increase the use of drug-treatment programs as alternatives to incarceration, and expand a program of compassionate release for elderly inmates who did not commit violent crimes and have served significant portions of their sentences.
The policy changes appear to be part of Mr. Holders effort, before he eventually steps down, to bolster his image and legacy. Turmoil over the Congressional investigation into the botched Operation Fast and Furious gun trafficking case ensnared him in the Obama administrations first term, and more recently, controversy has flared over the departments aggressive tactics in leak investigations.
In recent weeks, he has also tightened rules on obtaining reporters data in leak cases and started an effort to strengthen protections for minority voters after the Supreme Court struck down part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The move continued an assertive approach to voting rights and other civil rights enforcement throughout his tenure.
Mr. Holders speech on Monday deplores the moral impact of the United States high incarceration rate: although it has only 5 percent of the worlds population, it has 25 percent of its prisoners, he notes. But he also attempts to pre-empt political controversy by painting his effort as following the lead of prison reform efforts in primarily conservative-led Southern states.
Under a policy memorandum being sent to all United States attorney offices on Monday, according to an administration official, prosecutors will be told that they may not write the specific quantity of drugs when drafting indictments for drug defendants who meet the following four criteria: their conduct did not involve violence, the use of a weapon or sales to minors; they are not leaders of a criminal organization; they have no significant ties to large-scale gangs or cartels; and they have no significant criminal history.
For example, in the case of a defendant accused of conspiring to sell five kilograms of cocaine an amount that would set off a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence the prosecutor would write that the defendant conspired to distribute cocaine without saying how much. The quantity would still factor in when prosecutors and judges consult sentencing guidelines, but depending on the circumstances, the result could be a sentence of less than the 10 years called for by the mandatory minimum law, the official said.
It is not clear whether current cases that have not yet been adjudicated would be recharged because of the new policy.
Amid a rise in crime rates a generation ago, state and federal lawmakers began passing a series of tough on crime laws, including mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession. But as crime rates have plummeted to 40-year lows and reduced the political potency of the fear of crime, fiscal pressures from the exploding cost of building and maintaining prisons have prompted states to find alternatives to incarceration.
Driven in part by a need to save money, several conservative-leaning states like Texas and Arkansas have experimented with finding ways to incarcerate fewer low-level drug offenders. The answers have included reducing prison terms for them or diverting them into treatment programs, releasing elderly or well-behaved inmates early, and expanding job training and re-entry programs.
The policy is seen as successful across the ideological divide. For example, in Texas, which was an early innovator, taxpayers have saved hundreds of millions of dollars on what had been projected as a need to build prison space. With crime rates remaining at generational lows, the space is no longer necessary.
Several years ago, a group called Right on Crime formed to push what it calls the conservative case for reform. Its Republican affiliates include Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor; Edwin R. Meese III, an attorney general during the Reagan administration; and Newt Gingrich, a former House speaker.
While the federal prison system has continued to slowly expand, significant state-level reductions have led to three consecutive years of decline in Americas overall prison population including, in 2012, the largest drop ever experienced in a single year, Mr. Holders speech says. Clearly, these strategies can work. Theyve attracted overwhelming, bipartisan support in red states as well as blue states. And its past time for others to take notice.
Still, in states that have undertaken prison and parole overhauls, the changes were approved by state lawmakers. Mr. Holders reform is different: instead of going through Congress for legislation to modify mandatory minimum sentencing laws, he is invoking his power of prosecutorial discretion to sidestep them.
Earlier in Mr. Obamas presidency, the administration went through Congress to achieve policy goals like reducing the sentencing disparity between crack and powder forms of cocaine. But it has increasingly pursued a strategy of invoking unilateral executive powers without Congress, which the White House sees as bogged down by Republican obstructionism.
Previous examples, like Mr. Obamas decision last year to issue an executive order allowing immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children to remain without fear of deportation and to work, have drawn fire from Republicans as power grabs that usurp the role of Congress.
Mr. Holders speech marches through a litany of statistics about incarceration in the United States. The American population has grown by about a third since 1980, he said, but its prison rate has increased nearly 800 percent. At the federal level, more than 219,000 inmates are currently behind bars nearly half for drug-related crimes and the prisons are operating at nearly 40 percent above their official capacity.

Eric Holder Gets One Right on Crime
If you added up every person incarcerated in the United States and considered them as a single town, where do you think it would rank among the most populous American cities? About the size of New Orleans, perhaps, number 52? Or Minneapolis, number 49? How about Washington, D.C., the 25th most populous? Surely not larger than Phoenix, number six?
In fact, if you lumped every American who is in prison -- all 2.3 million -- together into one city, it would rank just above Houston, Texas as the fourth largest in the United States. It would be larger than the populations of San Francisco, Boston, Denver, and Orlando combined.
Add in the 5.1 million Americans on probation or parole and, at 7.3 million people, Prison City is second only to New York, and larger than the next two -- Los Angeles and Chicago -- put together.
According to the Pew Center on the States, one in every 31 people in the U.S. is under correctional supervision, either in prison, on parole, or on probation.
The human cost is terrible. This is especially true in the African American community. At current rates, one in every three African American males born today is likely to end up in prison during his lifetime, according to the NAACP.
The fiscal cost, too, is becoming catastrophic. Prisons now cost taxpayers $60 billion per year. At 10 percent of the states budget, California now spends roughly as much on prisons as it does on higher education.
Beginning with Chuck Colson's courageous founding of Prison Fellowship and Pat Nolan's leadership since Chuck passed away, there has been a resurgence of serious conservative thought about prison reform. Right on Crime, a movement I am affiliated with, has led the way on this issue working closely with Prison Fellowship.
Conservative leaders at the state level have introduced major prison reforms in recent years, pioneering a less expensive and more humane system without compromising public safety and while maintaining the rule of law.
In Texas, Ohio, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, to name a few, conservative governors have taken steps to return non-violent offenders to community supervision rather than imprisonment, saving their states tens of millions of dollars. These innovative strategies have proven much more efficient at holding low-level offenders accountable, and they ensure states have the resources to keep behind bars those criminals who really need to be there.
Yesterday, Attorney General Eric Holder announced corrections reforms which follow the course these conservative governors have set toward more sensible sentencing laws. While it would have been better for Holder to ask Congress to make these changes rather than doing so by executive fiat, he has hit upon an important goal.
We lock up too many non-violent people, and the recidivism rate (the number of released prisoners who end up back in jail) is extremely high. As many as 60 percent are arrested again within three years. The corrections system is not correcting.
Seventy percent of prisoners rank in the lowest two levels of reading ability, according to the National Institute for Literacy. Many studies have shown that prisoners who obtain a G.E.D. while incarcerated are dramatically less likely to return to prison than those who do not. One of the greatest steps we could take toward rehabilitating prisoners and reduce the chances they return to prison is to use new learning technologies to give them better opportunities for work when they reenter society.
Every prisoner in America, unless they have a college degree, should spend a significant portion of their time working through free, personalized online learning systems like Khan Academy or Duolingo. At the same time, they should take digital courses focused on rehabilitation to help them learn to be decent members of society. Their privileges in prison and evaluations for parole should be tied to progress in such a program. Even a decade ago this would have been cost-prohibitive to implement for all prisoners, but today much of the material is available virtually for free.
Technology may also offer us better ways to hold people who arent dangerous accountable for breaking the law. For many non-violent offenders, electronically-monitored probation or parole could be much more productive than prison, allowing offenders to stay in the community, work, keep their families together, and avoid learning from the hardened criminals in prison, while still restricting them significantly. Some combination of GPS and video could monitor to make sure they go only where permitted, stay within a curfew, and avoid further criminal activity.
Finally, Van Jones (who will join me as a co-host of Crossfire on CNN this fall) has suggested an incentive system for wardens and prison personnel, to give them an interest in rehabilitating (rather than merely housing) the prisoners. Wardens, he proposes, should get a bonus for significant improvements in the rate of their prisoners who do not return.
When one in every 31 Americans is under correctional supervision, its clear that something is very wrong. The United States stands above all for freedom, and yet we have by far the highest rate of incarceration in the world. That's why we should do everything we can, including sensible prison reform, to help more Americans learn to live in freedom. It is good to see Attorney General Holder take a step in this direction.

Setenced to a slow death

Although this comes from Pravda on the Hudson, which as always entails the risk of less than candid shading of the data, I confess to considerable sympathy for the point being made.
Sentenced to a Slow Death
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
NY Times
Published: November 16, 2013
If this were happening in any other country, Americans would be aghast. A sentence of life in prison, without the possibility of parole, for trying to sell $10 of marijuana to an undercover officer? For sharing LSD at a Grateful Dead concert? For siphoning gas from a truck? The punishment is so extreme, so irrational, so wildly disproportionate to the crime that it defies explanation.
And yet this is happening every day in federal and state courts across the United States. Judges, bound by mandatory sentencing laws that they openly denounce, are sending people away for the rest of their lives for committing nonviolent drug and property crimes. In nearly 20 percent of cases, it was the persons first offense. (!!!)
As of 2012, there were 3,278 prisoners serving sentences of life without parole for such crimes, according to an extensive and astonishing report issued Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union. And that number is conservative. It doesnt include inmates serving sentences of, say, 350 years for a series of nonviolent drug sales. Nor does it include those in prison for crimes legally classified as violent even though they did not involve actual violence, like failing to report to a halfway house or trying to steal an unoccupied car.
The report relies on data from the federal prison system and nine states. Four out of five prisoners were sentenced for drug crimes like possessing a crack pipe or acting as a go-between in a street drug sale. Most of the rest were sentenced for property crimes like trying to cash a stolen check or shoplifting. In more than 83 percent of the cases, the judge had no choice: federal or state law mandated a sentence of life without parole, usually under a mandatory-minimum or habitual offender statute.
Over the past four decades, those laws have helped push the American prison population to more than two million people, and to the highest incarceration rate in the world. As in the rest of the penal system, the racial disparity is vast: in the federal courts, blacks are 20 times more likely than whites to be sentenced to life without parole for nonviolent crimes.
The report estimates that the cost of imprisoning just these 3,278 people for life instead of a more proportionate length of time is $1.78 billion.
It is difficult to find anyone who defends such sentencing. Even Burl Cain, the longtime warden of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, which holds the most nonviolent lifers in the country, calls these sentences ridiculous. Everybody forgets what corrections means. It means to correct deviant behavior, Mr. Cain told the A.C.L.U. If this person can go back and be a productive citizen and not commit crimes again, he asked, why spend the money to keep him in prison? I need to keep predators in these big old prisons, not dying old men.
Several states are reforming sentencing laws to curb the mass incarceration binge. And Congress is considering at least two bipartisan bills that would partly restore to judges the power to issue appropriate sentences, unbound by mandatory minimums. These are positive steps, but they do not go far enough. As the report recommends, federal and state legislators should ban sentences of life without parole for nonviolent crimes, both for those already serving these sentences and in future cases. President Obama and state governors should also use executive clemency to commute existing sentences.
Just one-fifth of all countries allow a sentence of life without parole, and most of those reserve it for murder or repeated violent crimes. If the United States is to call itself a civilized nation, it must end this cruel and ineffective practice.

I think that if you dealt with many of these offenders firsthand and saw the cases in context, you'd probably not be so sympathetic.

If someone is catching "the bitch" (as it's known in the criminal subculture) they have to have multiple prior felony convictions.

A violent sex offender has two prior convictions and then gets caught selling a small quantity of drugs. What kind of sentence should a prosecutor seek?

Obama commutes sentences for 8 crack cases

Obama to Commute Sentences for 8 in Crack Cocaine Cases
President Obama, expanding his push to curtail severe penalties for drug offenses, is expected on Thursday to commute the sentences of eight federal inmates who were convicted of crack cocaine offenses. Each inmate has been imprisoned for at least 15 years, and six were sentenced to life in prison.
It would be the first time retroactive relief was provided to a group of inmates who most likely would have received significantly shorter terms if they had been sentenced under current drug laws, sentencing rules and charging policies.
Most of the eight would be released in 120 days.
