Revelations: "So Hot, So Hot, So Hot, So What?"

† Criminal InJustice is a weekly series devoted to taking action against inequities in the U.S. criminal justice system. Nancy A. Heitzeg, Professor of Sociology and Race/Ethnicity, is the Editor of CI. Kay Whitlock, co-author of Queer (In)Justice, is contributing editor of CI. Criminal Injustice is published every Wednesday at 6 pm.
In 2011, Tonya McDowell, a homeless woman from Bridgeport, Connecticut, was charged with first degree (felony) larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny for enrolling her 6-year-old son in Brookside Elementary School in the community of Norwalk. Because McDowell and her son did not legally reside in Norwalk, the rationale for the charges was theft of $15,686 in educational costs from the Norwalk public school system. She faced a possible sentence of 20 years in prison. Moreover, McDowell's babysitter was evicted from public housing because she apparently assisted by providing false documents necessary for enrolling the young boy.
McDowell and her son are black; the Norwalk public school system is predominantly white – and therefore better funded than the Bridgeport system, in which people of color predominate. Essentially, she was charged with "stealing" a good public education for her son, who is entitled to public education, but not, presumably, a good one.
This prosecution was outrageous, right? Yes – by any reasonable standard of human decency, anyway. But we live in a societal Twilight Zone in which the often-subterranean currents of the dominant U.S. public imagination respond to virtually all claims to social and economic justice as some form of theft, with all of the dissonance, danger, anxiety, emotional vulnerability, defensiveness, and fury associated with its evocation.

The Time Has Come
Editor's Note from nancy a heitzeg
It is a week where there is too much to say, so instead we will say very little. We stand in the shadows of the anniversaries of the never-implemented Brown decision, and the day Philadelphia Police Department said "Let the Fire Burn!". We note the occasion of the birthday's of Malcolm X, Lorraine Hansbury, and Ho Chi Minh, as we still demand an end to mass youth incarceration, brace ourselves for a "debate" about reparations, and await word as to whether a Black Woman has any Ground to Stand.
Let us reflect on this recent history, not on what has been won, but what is left to be done. A History, that is neither some disregarded dustbin, nor a mausoleum/museum filled with past relics of partial victories.
History is Alive. And History is A Weapon.
Use it.
Eyes on the Prize: The Time Has Come (1964-66)
After a decade-long cry for justice, a new sound is heard in the civil rights movement: the insistent call for power. Malcolm X takes an eloquent nationalism to urban streets as a younger generation of black leaders listens. In the South, Stokely Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) move from "Freedom Now!" to "Black Power!" as the fabric of the traditional movement changes.

Tony Benn, veteran Labour Leader, has died at 88, The Guardian
Ten of the Best Tony Benn Quotes, The Guardian
Remembering Tony Benn and His Five Little Questions, Bill Moyers:
"In the course of my life I have developed five little democratic questions. If one meets a powerful person — Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin or Bill Gates — ask them five questions: 'What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?' If you cannot get rid of the people who govern you, you do not live in a democratic system."
From The NYT:
The Employment Policies Institute, founded two decades ago, is led by the advertising and public relations executive Richard B. Berman, who has made millions of dollars in Washington by taking up the causes of corporate America. He has repeatedly created official-sounding nonprofit groups like the Center for Consumer Freedom that have challenged limits like the ban on indoor smoking and the push to restrict calorie counts in fast foods.
In recent months, Mr. Berman's firm has taken out full-page advertisements in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal andplastered a Metro station near the Capitol with advertisements, including one featuring a giant photograph of Representative Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who is a proponent of the minimum wage increase, that read, "Teens Who Can't Find a Job Should Blame Her."
These messages, also promoted on websites operated by Mr. Berman's firm, including minimumwage.com, instruct anyone skeptical about the arguments to consult the reports prepared by the Employment Policies Institute, most often described only as a "nonprofit research organization."
But the dividing line between the institute and Mr. Berman's firm was difficult to discern during two visits last week to the eighth-floor office at 1090 Vermont Avenue, a building near the White House that is the headquarters for both.
The sign at the entrance is for Berman and Company, as the Employment Policies Institute has no employees of its own. Mr. Berman's for-profit advertising firm, instead, "bills" the nonprofit institute for the services his employees provide to the institute. This arrangement effectively means that the nonprofit is a moneymaking venture for Mr. Berman, whose advertising firm was paid $1.1 million by the institute in 2012, according to its tax returns, or 44 percent of its total budget, with most of the rest of the money used to buy advertisements.
From ThinkProgress:
Somewhere between 80 to 100,000 people from 32 states turned out to protest four years of drastic state Republican initiatives in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday.
The "Moral March on Raleigh," organized by Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ), marched from Shaw University to the state capitol to push back against the "immoral and unconstitutional policies" of Republican Gov. Pat McCrory during the 2013 NC General Assembly session. Since North Carolina Republicans took over both legislative chambers in 2010, legislators have eliminated a host of programs and raised taxes on the bottom 95 percent, repealed a tax credit for 900,000 working families, enforced voter suppression efforts, blocked Medicaid coverage, cut pre-Kindergarten funding, cut federal unemployment benefits, and gave itself the authority to intervene in abortion lawsuits.
Activists have gathered at weekly protests, called 'Moral Mondays,' in North Carolina since 2013 as a way to give voice to individuals whose rights were under attack by the Republican-controlled legislature. While there were no reported arrests in Saturday's protest, hundreds of nonviolent protesters were arrested during last year's Moral Monday events.

Poverty as a Prison
by nancy a heitzeg
Before the War on Drugs became our national fixation, there was a short-lived, halfheartedly implemented War on Poverty. Would that the same amount of resources and political will been expended here. But hyper-individualism, rampant capitalism, and a political discourse that persistently racializes poverty and stigmatizes governmental assistance continue to stand in the way.
We are left instead with the War on the Poor.
The gaps between rich and poor grow, while Congress slashes $ 1 billion from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), refuses to extend meager Unemployment Insurance (UI) to millions out of work, and an increase in the minimum wage ( which would still fall far short of Living Wage) remains contentious.
Our national failure to provide any meaningful economic opportunities for tens of millions of Americans is doubly bitter when poverty and homelessness — a realm of little to no choice – is then reframed as exactly choice, the result of some failure of "personal responsibility".
The reality of course is that over-whelming majority of the 47 million officially poor are there because of structure and policy — low wages, lack of affordable housing, a shrinking social safety net, a decimated public education system, a host of conservative and neo-liberal "reforms – not because of flawed personal choices.
The reality is that poverty per se is a sort of prison, where choice is heavily constrained, surveillance is endless, "social services" are characterized by red-tape, condescension and increased overlap with the criminal justice system, where survival shapes daily life, and Right Now is the key consideration.
If this were not challenge enough, poverty itself is additionally criminalized via a host of federal, state and local laws, Not that this is new – but the cumulative effect of these laws in the context of the prison industrial complex, a collapsed job market, and a government bent on "privatization" is a particularly toxic mix at this moment.

Imagination, at the Intersections
by nancy a heitzeg (h/t Kay Whitlock and Angela Y. Davis)
"This is what we need most in America — truly the entire world — today. Imagination. Religious scholar Walter Brueggemann has called it "Prophetic Imagination." We need individuals who will not only occupy our streets, but also occupy our future. Brave soldiers of love who are crazy enough to dream of a world with no more war, no more violence, no more oppression based on the way people look, where they are from, or the way they were born."
~ Charles Howard, Angela Davis: Power to the Imagination
It is 2014. Criminal InJustice is approaching the start of its fourth year of weekly publishing. Much remains unchanged. The US remains the world's leader in incarceration. Racial disparities in school suspensions/expulsions, stop/frisk, arrest and imprisonment remain. Privatization and profiteering continues apace, with new alliances between old enemies and expansion opportunities in the field of "community corrections" growing. The courts failed us yet again with the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the acquittal of George Zimmerman, just two examples among many. Perhaps the best overview is just here in the aptly titled 15 Things That We Re-Learned About the Prison Industrial Complex in 2013.
While the past year has brought some slim signs of progress in dismantling the prison industrial complex and its' feeder – the school to prison pipeline, they are both small and slow. And not enough. Nazgol Ghandnoosh and Marc Mauer, of The Sentencing Project ask this question:
"Can We Wait 88 Years to End Mass Incarceration?"
"We hear less 'tough on crime' rhetoric and budget-conscious conservatives are embracing sentencing reforms. The Attorney General has criticized aspects of the criminal justice system and directed federal prosecutors to seek reduced sanctions against lower-level offenders.
In light of this, one would think we should celebrate the new figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) showing a decline in the U.S. prison population for the third consecutive year. This follows rising prisoner counts for every year between 1973 and 2010. BJS reports that 28 states reduced their prison populations in 2012, contributing to a national reduction of 29,000.Beset by budget constraints and a growing concern for effective approaches to public safety, state policymakers have begun downsizing unsustainable institutional populations. The break in the prison population's unremitting growth offers an overdue reprieve and a cause for hope for sustained reversal of the nearly four-decade growth pattern.
But the population in federal prisons has yet to decline. And even among the states, the trend is not uniformly or unreservedly positive. Most states that trimmed their prison populations in 2012 did so by small amounts — eight registered declines of less than 1 percent. Further, over half of the 2012 prison count reduction comes from the 10 percent decline in California's prison population, required by a Supreme Court mandate.
Given recent policy changes, why has there been such a small reduction in the number of people held in prisons? First, many sentencing reforms have understandably focused on low-level offenders.But most significantly, policymakers have neglected the bulk of those who are in state prisons: an aging population convicted of violent crimes or repeat offenses.
Certainly the changing climate, new policies, and recent prisoner counts offer reason for encouragement. But unless we want to wait 88 years to achieve a sensible prison population, we need to accelerate the scale of reform."
We don't have time to wait. Throughout our existence, we at CI have tried to illuminate the issue with data, statistics, the cold facts, and yes stories too, to illustrate, increase the awareness needed as a foundation for change. This is no longer enough either. We know what the issues are. As co-editor Kay Whitlock has long argued, what we need to do is to imagine – dream a bolder vision.
And so we will. At the intersections.

How do I graduate Air Force BMT with at least a rank insignia on my shoulder rather than nothing at all?
Ive seen in pictures and photos that when some people graduate Air Force BMT they graduate with no rank or insignia on their shoulder. I am enlisted with a 6 year contract, Air Traffic Control. How could I graduate with at least one stripe as an Airman on my shoulder in BMT? any help and advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
You will receive 2 stripes on your sleeve, not your shoulder after your Tech School is complete since you signed for 6. To get the stripe after BMT, you must have taken a sufficient amount of college, and the AF recognized it, or you participated in a recognized High School ROTC for a specified amount of time. I think there is even a program if you were an Eagle Scout or something like that. Talk to your recruiter. otherwise you are an Airman Basic following BMT. also known as a 'slick sleeve', or no stripes.
All that aside, rank is more or less meaningless until you make SrA (E-4). Rank amongst Airmen (E-1 to E-3) is like virtue amongst whores.

When the time comes for you to make a change, to grow, to do your life in a different way, the universe will make you so uncomfortable, so unhappy, you will eventually have no choice.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 10/20/14
ST. LOUIS - Not Sam Bradford. Not Steven Jackson. Not James Lauranitis or Chris Long. Asked what he saw after reviewing the game film of their disappointing 20-19 preseason loss to the Dallas Cowboys Saturday, new Rams coach Jeff Fisher singled out the positive play of just one player: rookie running back Daryl Richardson. Expected just to compete for one of the final roster spots, the seventh round pick has taken his opportunity and run with it. Literally. He's been impressive enough that he's likely to split time with rookie Isiaah Pead as the No. 2 running back behind Jackson. "He missed the first start of camp with the hamstring, but he worked hard at it and got it back and when he stepped back on the field, he knew what he was doing," Fisher said. "He's not making mistakes. He feels good. He's explosive and you just kind of wait for that one that goes to the house." Pead figured to be the odds on favorite to back up for Jackson when the Rams took him in the second round out of Cincinnati. But with the second-to-last-pick in the draft, the Rams took the little-known Richardson out of Abilene Christian University in hopes of creating a little competition. And it's worked out better than they could have imagined. While Pead missed some of the summer workouts because of an NFL rule that required him to stay away until Cincinnati finished the semester, Richardson got plenty of extra work. And the speedster with the dreadlocks has kept on running. Richardson rushed for 867 yards as a senior at Abilene Christian, averaging 5.9 yards per carry and coring 11 touchdowns. He also caught 40 passes out of the backfield for 371 yards and two touchdowns. But despite the productive stats, Richardson was a relatively unknown commodity until his Pro Day - when he showed off a 40 inch vertical leap and a 11-3 broad jump. While teams began contacting him about signing as an undrafted free agent, the Rams swooped in at pick No. 252 just one ahead of the infamous Mr. Irrelevant and took what they hoped was a very relevant pick. "It's been a blessing really," the soft-spoken Richardson says. "I just want to thank God and the Rams for this opportunity. It's been a good experience. Everything is going good. "I think I've performed pretty good. I'm just trying to be 100 percent in my assignments and techniques. You just have to come out and work everyday and try to get better and perfect your craft. Just get better every day, study and focus." Asked about missing the first 10 days of training camp with the hamstring injury, Richardson said, "I was very concerned because I wasn't practicing and we were in training camp I was missing it and I was trying to make the team still so I was just trying to get back out here as soon as possible." Richardson leads the Rams with 90 yards rushing in three preseason games on 22 carries. He's averaging 4.1 yards per carry and has one touchdown. Pead figures to get plenty of time as a returner on special teams. And he'll get carries as the backup running back as well. But once figured to be the perfect complementary back to Jackson, Pead hasn't had much success running the ball so far. While Fisher is quick to point out that Pead hasn't been helped by poor blocking in front of him, the rookie has just 50 yards rushing on 25 carries. "He just really hasn't been given an opportunity to hit a crease and show what he can do," Fisher said. "The game did slow down a little bit for him after Week 1. I think from a run skill standpoint, all you have to do is look at those two kickoff returns and you'll get a sense of what he can do in the open field." When asked Tuesday if the team had a backup running back, Fisher looked out towards the players and joked, "Yes, we have a couple. There's actually three of them." Pressed if a decision had been made on which one would get the bulk of the carries behind Jackson, Fisher said he expected both Richardson and Pead to see time in the backfield this year. And that's more than Richardson could have ever hoped for a couple months ago.

Local coastal conservation group Friends of the Dunes is celebrating its 30th birthday next Saturday (July 14) from 1 to 4 p.m. at the recently renovated Humboldt Coastal Nature Center, located at 220 Stamps Lane in Manila.
"As part of our 30th birthday celebration, we are inviting the community to come out and see the Nature Center's new exhibits, hike the self-guided trail to the beach, enjoy music by the Spin Drifters and of course, have some cake," said Executive Director Carol Vander Meer.
The event kicks off with music at 1 p.m., followed by a short ceremony at 1:30 p.m. honoring the Stamps family, who originally built the unique earth-shelter building that now houses the center. Birthday cake will be served at 2 p.m., and at 3 p.m. guests can join a trained naturalist for a dune wildflower walk. Activities for kids will be available throughout the afternoon.
Friends of the Dunes was started in 1982 to support the Lanphere Christensen Dunes Preserve. The group worked for many years as the volunteer arm of The Nature Conservancy, which was the owner of the preserve at the time. When ownership of the Lanphere Dunes was transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Friends of the Dunes became a separate nonprofit entity dedicated to conserving the natural diversity of coastal environments. Vander Meer became involved in the group in 1994, and she has held several positions within the organization since that time.
"When I moved here I was trying to get to know the area and I volunteered for a number of organizations," she said. "I got very intrigued by the dunes because they have so many diverse habitats in a small area. There are shifting sands, mossy forests and wildflower-covered areas all within easy walking distance. I really appreciated what Friends of the Dunes was doing to conserve and restore those areas because I have a background in biology and environmental education. It appealed to me because the group not only does work on the practical side of restoration, but also participates in the science behind it and the educational components of getting the community involved."
After transitioning through several temporary homes -- including the "old hubcap building" in Manila and the Manila Community Center -- the group was approached by the children of Charles and Rachel Stamps about purchasing the earth-shelter structure on Stamps Lane. They raised funds for the property through grants, donations and business sponsorships, and completed the purchase of the building and 38 acres of land in 2007. Several additional land purchases have subsequently expanded the property to include 113 acres.
Since opening a year ago, the center has added new interpretive signs, displays, native landscaping, an amphitheater and a kids area. Construction on several of the projects was facilitated by students in the Environmental Engineering program at Humboldt State University. Ten teams of students in Lonny Grafman's Introduction to Design class worked on projects including the outdoor amphitheater -- built of recycled concrete -- as well as a solar-powered trail lighting system and a beach-grass baler. Other featured exhibits include Gary Bloomfield's "Humboldt Bay and Dunes Wildlife" mural, and an exhibition of student entries in the "Discover Our Bay" and "Dunes Art Contest."
"Our vision is to have the whole community, and the diversity represented in the community, come out and embrace the concept of learning about and caring for the land. I would like to see us continue toward realizing that vision and broadening our audience to include all kinds of folks that might not normally have gone out for an exploration in the dunes. We want the nature center to be a place where people feel welcomed and empowered and secure in undertaking outdoor explorations and learning about nature so they can take that knowledge and apply it to other places," said Vander Meer.
While the nature center property is a striking example of the restoration work conducted by Friends of the Dunes, Vander Meer made it clear that the group's projects are not limited to land owned by the organization.
"I think it's important for the public to know that we work in partnership with other land owners -- like the Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, the Bureau of Land Management and the Manila Community Services District -- to do educational walks, school programs and restoration events. We are a nonprofit, but we're part of a landscape of numerous land managers in the area, and we try to act as a bridge for public involvement," said Vander Meer.
Founding member Andrea Pickart -- who helped start the organization with David Imper, Lisa Hoover and Linda Alm, and now works in partnership with it as an ecologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Lanphere Dunes Unit -- said that public involvement and community outreach have been key aspects of the organization's success.
"Friends of the Dunes has been really pivotal in establishing community-based volunteerism in our area," said Pickart. "Without that, it's really hard to have effective restoration or weed-control or any other lasting change. Budgets come and go, and if the community isn't engaged in wanting to protect a system, it's a lot harder to make it happen. Carol Vander Meer is very passionate and dedicated to this cause, and her commitment to the organization has also been a huge part of why they're so successful. It's not any one particular thing, but all along they've had a core group of people that are just totally committed. The Friends do great work in other ways, too, but community outreach and education are really the unique things they've done well that have contributed to their success."
With just three core staff members who work 30 to 40 hours per week, the group relies heavily on volunteers and part-time helpers to carry out projects like the Bay to Dunes School Education Program, Ocean Day, the Dune Ecosystem Restoration Team and free weekend guided walks.
"The plants that we deal with can take a while to get rid of, but it is possible to get rid of them. You can see the results on other areas like the Lanphere Dunes and Ma-l'el Dunes," said Stewardship/
Operations Director Emily Walter, who joined the organization as an intern in 2001 and was later hired on full time. "Since this is a new property here, we're just getting started. European beach grass, for instance, takes eight or more treatments in a single area to kill all the roots so it stops growing back. But once we've eradicated it from a site, then it's pretty minimal maintenance to maintain that area by looking at it once a year to see if bits are growing back. The invasives have had many, many years to take hold here, though, so we'll have to have patience because it will take a while to get rid of them."
Although there are still challenges ahead and the work will never be completely finished, Vander Meer remains excited about the project and enthusiastic about what the organization has achieved.
"There are lots of dreams, but right now we're taking a deep breath to enjoy our accomplishments," she said. "Personally I find that being able to walk out in the environment and have access to native plants and animals -- here or anywhere else -- has been a great source of strength and inspiration, and I'd like to help other people find that."

After having some type of history tied to every number so far in the 0-12 progression the New Orleans Pelicans finally skipped a number with the unlucky 13 and in doing so started to make the list of players to wear numbers shorter and shorter. That fact starts with the number 14, which has been worn only two times in franchise history with those uses coming nine seasons apart. The 14 doesn't have any superstar player to define it but it does have a player who was the definition of solid during his time in the Crescent City.
The First to Wear #14: Robert Pack, 2002-2003
The Most Recent to Wear #14: Jason Smith, 2011-2014
The #14's in between: None
The start to the career of number 14 in New Orleans wasn't anything special when Robert Pack donned it for 28 games in the 2002-2003 season. Pack, a longtime backup guard was winding towards the end of his NBA career at that point having come off a 16 game stint with the Minnesota Timberwolves the season before. During his time in New Orleans, Pack played sparingly and averaged only 15.6 minutes per game for a playoff bound Hornets team. When he did play Pack was average, totaling just 5.2 points, 2.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game in those minutes after joining the team in January as a free agent. Pack played his role for the team before moving on the next season with two ten-day contracts with the New Jersey Nets.
After Pack left the number 14 stayed dormant for years in New Orleans until the acquisition Jason Smith from the Philadelphia 76ers. Smith until that point had been a career backup, posting a career high of just 14.6 minutes per game in his rookie season. In his first season in New Orleans Smith approached that mark again with 14.3 minutes per game and played well enough to increase his role for the following season to over 23 minutes per game which allowed him to post a still career high 9.9 points per game, which also was the best in the history of New Orleans number 14 at that point. After a season where Smith's minutes declined in 2012-2013 he was in the process of putting together the best season of his and the number 14's career in 2013-2014 before a knee injury cost him his season after just 31 games. Before the injury Smith was averaging a career-high 26.8 minutes per game and 5.8 rebounds per game and was just off his career high in points per game with 9.7.
With the acquisition of Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca and Jeff Withey still under contract the Pelicans let Smith walk this season and with him put the number 14 back into storage. Whenever it does come out again it will be ready for someone to take it and build a real legacy on it as right now it sits with two good but very forgettable players as its only history.

If you don't know how to express your love, we have found some great 'I love you' quotes for him. Sometimes, you cannot even find the words to describe your love. In fact, no words can do that. However, you will love these quotes because they were written out of love!
Sometimes, the most beautiful songs, poems and works of art are born out of love. The greatest and the craziest things are done out of love. It is love what makes this world go round. It leaves us breathless and it helps us breathe again. It is miraculous.

Game: Penn State (9-5, 0-1 Big Ten) at Illinois (12-2, 1-0 Big Ten)
Time: 2:15 p.m. EST
TV: Big Ten Network
Line: Illinois, -7.5
Life in the Big Ten Conference on the basketball court isn't easy these days. Once known as just a football conference, the Big Ten is now one of, if not the toughest basketball conference in the nation. The Penn State Nittany Lions opened conference play on Tuesday against the No.5 Michigan State Spartans at home. Now, the Nittany Lions must travel to a tough environment in Illinois and take on the very tough Fighting Illini.
The Nittany Lions looked ready to shock the basketball world on New Year's Eve when they dominated the Spartans for the entire first half and took a seven-point lead into halftime. However, Michigan State took over in the second half and went on to the 79-63 victory. Second-half collapses are nothing new to the Nittany Lions. Earlier this season, they lost a 20-point second-half lead to the Princeton Tigers.
Penn State will look to play a complete game today against the Illini.
Penn State ranks in the middle of the pack in the country, ranking 45th, scoring 79.9 points a game. The two biggest problem areas this season have been rebounding and getting shots to fall. The Nittany Lions rank 144th in the country in rebounding and 72nd in shooting percentage, making just 47 percent of their shots.
It's not all bad at Penn State though. Guards Tim Frazier and D.J. Newbill have combined to form one of the best backcourts in the nation. Newbill averages 18.8 PPG, while Frazier is scoring 17.4 PPG and adds 7.3 assists. Forward Ross Travis has also been a great source of production this season, scoring 11.4 PPG and grabbing 8.3 RPG.
The Illini, on the other hand, have had a great start to this season, with just two losses coming to Georgia Tech and No. 15 Oregon. However, while the record is good, an analysis of the stats shows that Illinois actually ranks worse than Penn State in points for, points against, rebounds and shooting percentage.
Don't let the numbers fool you though. Illinois plays a tough brand of basketball and can grind out wins when needed. That was shown in the conference-opener, an 83-80 victory in overtime against Indiana.
Junior guard Rayvonte Rice is the top player on Illinois. He's averaging 19 points a game and has been tough for opposing defenses to stop. He's coming off a 29-point performance against Indiana in which he also added eight rebounds. Frazier and Newbill will have their hands full trying to defend him.
Down low, the Nittany Lions will have to deal with Nnanna Egwu. The 6-11, 250-pound center controls the paint with his ability to both rebound and block shots.
This road game will be a good test for the Nittany Lions. The upset victory is not impossible, but the Nittany Lions are going to have to play strong in the second-half and get good production from their bench. John Johnson, who was held in check by Michigan State, will be a key in the game today.

TS Kink will make you think twice before crossing a shemale Dominatrix. These chicks with dicks are not be messed with, although their male slaves seem to love the harsh treatment. I probably would do just about anything to be the plaything of these sexy T-babes given the chance. A leather-clad transsexual Mistress in fishnet stockings is bound to make me weak in the knees and I'd be willing to do whatever it takes to please her demanding ways.
TSKink only has 37 videos, but on the bright side they give you high-def playback. You can also download them for your iPhone or other portable devices (those MP4s can also be streamed in a Flash player). The scenes are split between solo and hardcore action. Some of the ladies are so gorgeous that they don't even need a submissive guy to turn them on. They can play in their fetish gear all on their lonesome and whip their own butts with riding crops until they're left with redden rumps and spent balls.
Still, I do enjoy the scenes where the guys are made to do all sorts of things to prove their loyalty to their Mistress. One fellow with a colorful fauxhawk is made to eat from a bowl while down on his hands and knees. It seems as if he's devouring some semi-liquefied red gelatin dessert. Another shoot takes place in a grimy restroom where a guy has his head held underwater for a bit in a dirty sink and then gets fucks up the butt.
There are 37 photo sets to go along with the vids. They can be downloaded in Zip files or viewed in a slideshow. Some of my favorites come from a set with bad-ass Carla Novaes. Her makeup is maybe a tad heavy, but with her bra made of silver chains, she looks like an edgy female performer from one of those Vegas shows. She has moments where she just looks so gorgeous with her dark, luscious locks and long eyelashes.
Updates are pretty infrequent, with the most recent one being from August 2013. At least you get 10 other Tranny Pack sites, including TS Latex, Tranny Edge, Shemales In Public, Shemale Punishers and Mega Cock Tranny, and some are theme-appropriate. All the same, TS Kink remains on the small side.

On this web page, there is a photo of our building. To the right of the photo are our hours, and under the hours, our phone number, the Branch Librarian's name and two inconspicuous little words, "Branch Calendar." I'm mentioning this because those two words are so inconspicuous, but so important. Clicking the words "Branch Calendar [2]" will bring up an online calendar that shows you everything that's going on at our branch this month. From there, you can click "Next" or the abbreviations for other months. This is a great way to see both regular programs and special events that are going on at your neighborhood library.

kâphar 'cover, atone' KFpAr (Strong's #3722)
KFpAr kâphar is a root verb meaning "to cover" (Strong's #3722, x102) in a practical sense with either pitch or hair, in an ethical sense by extension, "to atone". It occurs most frequently in this latter regard in the books of Leviticus (x44) and Numbers (x15). It is arguable, that if anything, the verb may have come from the noun KpEr kôpher (Strong's #3724, x17) "pitch" and by application "ransom" or "appeasement", covering for something via a bribe, gift or compensation. From it is derived KIPUr kippûr (Strong's #3725, x8) occurring just 8 times always in the plural KIPUrIye kippûrîym "atonement(s)" and where it seems the plural implies more completeness than number.
Whilst the most common translation in its 100+ instances is "make atonement" (e.g., Exodus 30:10), its first use in in regard to "covering" the ark with bitumen, or in older versions "pitching it with pitch". The covering was to be full and complete making it watertight. Some degree of complete covering, atonement and compensation, seems to be implied in its uses as opposed to simply or inadequately being covered by a branch from the shade of the sun, there a dozen or more other Hebrew words than can convey general covering.
Isaiah 28:18 speaks of "your covenant with death" being "disannulled, cancelled, disolved, annulled". Here the image is of a written agreement being obliterated by being covered over with further ink, literally covering over and blotting out the text or signature of a legal document.
The visual image of a watertight substance, or obliterating ink, is further seen in metaphors of a land that cannot be "cleansed/atoned" because it is already covered in blood (Numbers 35:33). A dozen times the word appears in verses with "blood", e.g., Deuteronomy 21:8 in which it occurs twice, at the end of the verse in terms of blood being atoned for, often translated as "forgiven" and at the beginning of the verse similarly translated as "be merciful", but really meaning, "atone", which the NIV and ESV render more consistently in both cases.
The derived KFpFr kâphâr is twice translated "village" (Strong's #3723, x2) in both of its occurrences in 1 Chronicles 27:25 and Song of Songs 7:11. It is an apt derivation and one from which we can see the sense of somewhere that provides a covering, shelter, protection from the elements and foes.

The city's Landmark Preservation Commission approved a controversial school expansion into the rear-yards of neighbors of the Chabad School, on West 86th Street between Columbus Avenue and Central Park West.
The project would allow Chabad of the West Side Synagogue and Pre-school to take over two landmark-protected brownstones, 43-45 W. 86th St. The brownstones had two tenants living in them, one in a rent-stabilized unit.
In June, Community Board 7 sided with neighbors and voted down the plan. The Landmarks Commission, however, unanimously approved the plan after Chabad reduced the rear-yard expansion and adjusted the floor height.
"The owner addressed the concerns the commission raised at the public meeting," said Elisabeth de Bourbon, a commission spokesperson.
Chabad spokesperson Hank Sheinkopf said the organization would continue to be considerate and a "good neighbor."
"We enjoy a good reputation and look forward to continuing that," Sheinkopf said.
Helen Rosenthal, the community board's chair, is establishing a committee to follow construction, which is slated for completion in 2013.
"The community board stands ready to help all parties involved," Rosenthal said. "The construction committee will keep information about what's going on very accessible."

Locust Street
Looking north from Carter Lake, Iowa, toward Omaha, Nebraska. The borderline lies between the parking lot and the strip of green grass, with Nebraska on the left and Iowa on the right. The parking lot is on the property of VFW Post 9661 of Carter Lake.
Most of the borderline between Nebraska and Iowa is set by the Missouri River. However, a flood in 1877 altered the path of the river, separating the land now claimed by Carter Lake from the rest of Iowa.
Legal battles pitted the two states against each other for years over who claimed the property. In 1892, fifteen years after the flood, the United States Supreme Court decided the land still belonged to Iowa.
However, it wouldn't be until 1930 that the community would incorporate itself as Carter Lake. It is the only municipality in Iowa located west of the Missouri River, the only place where you can walk from Nebraska to Iowa and not get your feet wet.
You can learn much more about Carter Lake and its unusual boundary by going to Carter Lake: A River Runs Through It.

Mid-term is a good time for freshmen to assess study habits and skills while it is still early enough in the term to adjust their learning strategies.
Assessing Academic Performance
A Fifth Week Flag is a clear indication for action and improvement, but even advisees who have not been flagged will benefit from assessing their progress to date. What is going well? What is not working? What does a student need to adjust or tweak to bring performance up?
A first step may be for any advisee to assess where s/he stands in all subjects. There is a mandatory Academic Self-Assessment and Recovery Plan form that multi-flagged freshmen must submit. However, the most important piece of the self-assessment exercise is to develop a reasonable plan to improve performance; the Sample Academic Recovery Plan has some common "action steps" that any student might find helpful.
The Center for Academic Excellence website has comprehensive information and advice on time management, best practices for maximizing lectures/recitations, studying, test-taking strategies, tutoring resources, and videos featuring advice from MIT Students. The ACADEX site also has the current schedule of study sessions, workshops, and events to help students succeed.
See Fifth Week Flags and Beyond for more information about helping struggling freshmen.
Thinking ahead to IAP and Beyond
It is not mandatory for freshmen to be on campus in January for IAP (Independent Activities Period). However, IAP is a unique opportunity for freshmen to explore both their educational and extra-curricular interests in a relaxed atmosphere, with more than 600 non-credit IAP offerings. The IAP website is updated with new activities and subjects starting in early November and continuing through the IAP period
Some freshmen will want to take a class for credit. All students are limited to no more than 12 units of academic credit during IAP.
- A popular option is to sign up for one of several introductory programming classes that serve as entree to 6.01 Introduction to EECS I.
- As well, both 18.02A and 8.01L start in Fall but finish during IAP; each of these subjects counts for 6 units towards the 12-unit limit.
Encourage Major Exploration
Many freshmen are already considering their departmental majors. You can help advisees to examine their academic interests, experiences and goals and encouraging them to explore options during IAP and spring. Don't forget to engage your associate advisor, who can offer the student perspective on the day-to-day experience in a given department and potentially connect advisees to other students in majors they may be considering. Major Exploration resources include:
- Networking with upperclassmen, faculty and department undergraduate administrators and officers
- Exploring department websites to learn more about their curriculum, research, and faculty
- Participating in IAP activities, attend department lectures and other events,
- Engaging in UROPs as a means to learn more about departments and help determine interests within a field
Detailed major exploration information will be posted to the Class of 2018 site later this fall.

The Good (and Not So Good) from Spring Training
Spring training is mercifully reaching its conclusion. Maybe it's just me, but Yankees camp felt especially long this year. I'm guessing many of the veterans feel the same way. Except Nick Swisher, that dude loved spring training. Then again, Swish could find something to love about an asteroid crashing into Wisconsin. Swishalicious loves life. The team ...

A few helpful thoughts to guide you through spring training
I've found in my two-plus decades of baseball fandom that the key to spring training coverage is to arm yourself with a ruthless filter.

Works well
Using this controller allows me to use the on screen menu system at the DVR rather than having to use the joystick at the camera and ooking at a small screen while standing on a ladder. Highly recommended.
UTC OSD Controller
We used this controller with out OD-LX700IR100L2812-W cameras to set the On Screen Display and it worked very well. It's nice to have to set up the camera on the spot and the price definitely makes it well worth it.

I once saw the opposite of a cheesy chat up.
"Would you like to dance ?"
"Yes" she said, standing up
"Good, you won't need that chair then" he said stealing it and walking away.
The look on her face was priceless
Was thinking, "my those look really heavy, mind if I support them a little". sure to get a slap though... missus says my chat up line was along the lines of "you were here last week werent you, I was going to get you a drink" Alas its cost me more overe time than that bloody drink *LOL*
Maybe not cheesy, but one that never works, is "I've seen you around and was wondering if you would like to join me for a drink" or "my friends and I are sitting over there and wondered if you and your friends would like to join us for a drink".
Might as well go back to 'fancy a sh*g", seems to get a lot better response from reading this!
Quote: Boy to girl: Was your father a thief?
Time I heard someone use this, the girl replied, "yeah actually, but he gets out next week".
Quote: I'm gonna rearrange the alphabet and put U and I together
Quote: The word of the day is "legs", wanna come back to my place and spread the word?
Quote: He: Drips water down her back. "Quick, lets get you out of those wet clothes.
Another punch...
Him: Would you like to dance ?
Her: No, I'm fussy who I dance with
Him: I'm not, that's why I asked you.
And I have actually heard this:
Him (a mate of mine, 17 at the time): Would you like to dance ?
Her: No, I don't dance with children
Him: Ah, I thought you looked pregnant!
Walk up to the girl and say in her ear 'Twenty ton polar bear' and walk off..................repeat the process 2 or 3 more times over the next 20-30 minutes eventually she will ask what you mean.
To which you reply .......................
Thats broken the ice, can I buy you a drink?
And yes it has worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote: I can't see how that one would ever work....
Oh, I never said it worked... =:O)
Him: Can I sniff your p***y?
Her (with a look of disgust): No!
Him: Must be your feet then.

Qantas A380 incident poses Airbus cost challenge
No cause determined yet, no injuries.
November 4, 2010 2:31 by Reuters
An engine failure that forced the emergency landing of a A380 superjumbo jet in Singapore on Thursday could further delay manufacturer Airbus's bid to claw back the plane's hefty development costs.
Airbus can ill afford setbacks in sales of the A380, a plane which cost 12 billion euros ($17 billion) to develop but has failed to attract airlines in some key markets including the United States and Japan.
A380 orders slowed to just four last year from a peak of 85 in 2001.
Concerns triggered by the emergency landing hit shares in Airbus parent EADS and Rolls-Royce , maker of the engine involved.
EADS was down 2.9 percent at 18.465 euros in Paris and Rolls-Royce down 3.8 percent at 629.5 pence on London's FTSE 100 as of 1100 GMT.
Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist at brokerage BGC Partners in London, said the fire reported soon after take-off in one of the plane's four engines could mean it hit birds or collected debris, cautioning against assigning blame just yet.
"Until the investigation is properly done we will not know whether it is a defined engine fault or if the explosion was caused by a malfunction of a part within the engine or outside interference such as a bird strike or debris.
"It could also be a maintenance-related issue," he said.
Australia's Qantas, operator of the plane which landed safely with 459 aboard on Thursday, has never suffered a fatal accident and said it was grounding all six of its A380s as a precaution.
Wheeldon noted as significant the fact that other carriers were still flying the plane.
Those airlines include top A380 customer Emirates ; Singapore Airlines , which said that it was closely assessing the situation; and Lufthansa .
Qantas said the incident did not affect its standing orders for more A380s, of which just 37 are in operation with airlines worldwide, according to Airbus.
The A380 is key to Airbus growth plans in the world's fastest-growing markets, including China and the Gulf. Airbus developed it in hopes of attracting customers looking for aircraft even larger than Boeing's ageing 747 jumbo.
Yet EADS posted losses on several of the first ones delivered, squeezed by higher-than-expected costs, late fees and discounted prices.

Look! David's Outdoor Dinner Party
When we wrote last week about hosting an outdoor dinner party in a public space, we heard back from designer David Hopkins. With no dining room or private outdoor space, David took to the interstitial space between his building and the next for a recent dinner party he hosted...
David made the long, narrow table himself by placing hollow core doors on card tables. And that awesome linear chandelier? He made that, too, with a framework of 2x4's and strings of clear lights. By nightfall, it looks like the chandelier and candles were aglow, transforming the gap between buildings into an inviting twilight retreat.
For more on David's private/public outdoor dinner - and lots of tips on entertaining on a budget - read this post by one of his dinner guests at Strange Closets.
(Thanks, David!) Images: Strange Closets

Tres chic!!!
where does he store all those bertoia chairs? That is quite a hefty pricetag, assuming that they aren't repros.
just sayin'.....
Just love the way the light glows.The whole thing looks very elegant
Wonder what the neighbors thought though!.
The floral arrangments are lovely.
What a fantastic idea!!
did he okay it with the neighbors first? I remember some neighbors doing this in our parking lot and being annoyed by it...they could have at least invited us :-(
"Interstitial space" sounds so much nicer than "alley." Looks like a charming and budget-friendly production.
Oh, Wow.
I love the browns he used....it makes the table look like it belongs there.
I wonder how sound would carry up to the other apartments, though.
What was on the menu?
nyc wife, i was wondering the same thing...
nyc wife/mjr, they were probably rentals.
love this.
Tres ostentatious...
the whole idea of commandeering a public space for ones own personal use is the epitome of tasteless if you ask me...
Unless you are feeding the public, a public space should not be used for a private party.
I live in Chicago and I recognize this sort of space. It doesn't feel like a public space to me; it feels like part of my backyard (albeit a backyard I share with many other people). I think it's one thing to park your party in the middle of the sidewalk, but this is more like having a barbecue in the backyard or in the park.
Thanks Regina. It was quite enchanted.
A few comments about the neighbors, anybody who happened upon Dave's gathering would most likely be charmed, as the scene was so unexpected and beautiful (these photos don't do it justice). Also, the gathering wasn't held in a public area exactly. It's just a narrow gangway between two buildings.
Plus the building's two blocks from Wrigley Field, so, to borrow and hack a phrase, "Those neighbors have seen the epitome of tasteless. The epitome of tasteless has left evidence (both biodegradable and non-biodegradable). And that, my friends, is not the epitome of tasteless."
Gorgeous & Well planned! Great use of space and lighting. I applaud the gumption to make it happen! Style is nothing without vision and foresight!
Jamilkb - Poor dear, I am sorry to hear you have never had a picnic in the park with good friends, shared a baguette and glass of wine on bench along the River Seine with a loved one. These events do classify as "commandeering" a public space.
In all good taste, my money is the neighbors who where 'put out" by this glorious event are probably planning one of their own as we speak.
Viva Al Fresco!
I agree with JamilkB. I was the victim of a party very much like this a few weekends ago. While the idea of putting real furniture out into a dismal public space (and it is absolutely not a backyard, Somethingelse, it's more likely an off-limits alleyway between a five-story walkup) is interesting and the party I witnessed did admittedly have a look that might be considered "magical" in a magazine spread, in actuality it was extremely noisy and the guests were completely inconsiderate to the dozens of neighbors they were inconveniencing with their loud chatter and music. The party went very late and I'm surprised no one called the cops. There were plenty of shouts from the apartments facing the unauthorized soiree.
Unexpected and beautiful, love when people are resourceful.
This is great! Looks like it was a wonderful evening.
Perhaps i'm just a little too considerate of others to consider this sort of thing "charming" or "stylish".
nmoss1000: I've actually done both. What you seem to have missed is that a park is designed and provided for such activity, as are the the benches along the Seine...
The suggested commandeering of a public accessway, right-of-way, or any other pedestrian or vehicular path is antithetical to a lifestyle that is respectful of the personal & public space of others.
The fact that this party was held in a gangway, does make it a tad more acceptable for me I guess...although I can't imagine that the tenants whose windows face down into the space felt all too pleased with the arrangement.
Ultimately, I just hope this doesn't turn into "the new thing" . It's bad enough that every streetfront restaurant wants to turn the public sidewalk into outdoor dining space these days..the last thing we need is private citizens turning it into their dining rooms.
the table setting is very elegant and well done. the lighting is creative and chic. however, i must agree with my fellow posters who object with the use of a seemingly public space for a private function. how do you keep the local bachelor house from hosting a "kegger" in the same space?
and unless the bertoia chairs were inherited, this hardly qualifies as "budget" entertaining.
I think it's charming and wonderful. As the world becomes more crowded, we'll need ingenuity to carve out spaces like this.
I am not sure this should be all together discouraged...with noise ordinances to keep the keggers at bay; why discriminate against urban dwellers [who do their part for mass population via upwards living] being able to host soirees out of doors...?
Wow. I just got an email about this posting. Very flattering.
Some answers:
The bertoia chairs are real and live in my basement storage bin. Although they are currently for sale on craigs list. 12 for 2400 if anyone needs a set :-)
The space is shared by six apartments. What you don't see in the pictures is the pile of BBQ grills at one end of it! The space is often used by tenants for grilling and such; what you don't know is that everyone over the party got a nice note with a fancy bottle of wine to explain what I was doing and that three of the apartments were at the table!
As for doing it on a budget; the party cost more than I should have spent but less than a comparable meal if the group ate out.
Glad you put out more details on exactly how you handled it decoratordave! Thanks. Much more acceptable.
