How Teeth Veneers Can Improve Your Smile
Your dentist might recommend tooth veneers when your teeth are:
Teeth veneers can be a valuable tool in cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth veneers are thin, customized shells of tooth-colored material designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth improving their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers typically don't require extensive shaping prior to a procedure that crowns do, yet offer a stronger, more aesthetic alternative to bonding.
According to WebMD a tooth veneer can be made from porcelain or resin composites.
Contact Charlotte Dentistry® today for a No Charge assessment to see if teeth veneers can help your smile.

The watches from the 556 series are characterised by striking lines, minimalistic displays and clear readability. Fine satinised stainless-steel cases with crystal and transparent back made of sapphire crystal glass. Sophisticated dials with diamond-cut rhodium plated hands and appliqués.

We have chosen a dark-blue electroplated dial for the 556 I B edition and finished it with a sunburst decoration that makes the dial shine brightly in beautiful hues of blue.

LookUp316 is an initiative to encourage pursuit and understanding of the promise in the Bible verse John 3:16. We've seen this verse on a football player's eye black, on signs in the stands of sporting events, and beyond. But this initiative will encourage people to take the next step and read the Word for themselves, to experience the hope that this verse truly brings. We want to apply the excitement of football to spreading the Gospel.
American football fans of all ages, incomes. Particularly fans of the National Football League.
Mandatory Elements
Color will be very important. The dominant color needs to be aligned with the feeling of the brand. Maybe it represents a deeper connection between the color and the verse. We'd ultimately like to use one main color in concert with a few accent colors. The color combination needs to be carefully chosen with the idea that we don't want to look like an American professional or collegiate sports team
The color, and the decision to use a mark/logo, will be based on whether it can be easily reproduced by an unskilled hand. The idea is to create a brand that our community can put on signs themselves without having to get it printed. For example, the primary color will need to be one that can easily be taken from a box of 64 markers and the mark/logo should not be something complicated or intricate.

In high school we would have one week of gym class that we spent in the weight lifting room. It was in a dark, windowless room down a forgotten hallway. Students were allowed access to it after school but it was often forgotten, except by the jocks. The girls stood in a corner talking, watching the boys, examining their nails and refusing to do anything other than a minute on the rowing machine – preferring to take a zero for the day. I, however, loved our week in the weight lifting room.
Already known for challenging boys to arm wrestling contests at lunch time, (and sometimes winning), my reputation was further sealed by my behavior in the weight lifting room. The boys gathered around to see how much I could bench press, taking bets that I wouldn't be able to do it each time the peg was moved lower and the weight got heavier. I fed on their pessimism. I loved being underestimated. I took a deep breath, felt the muscles ripping but pushed, pushed, pushed, my lips closed tight, my nostrils flaring. I heard them say knowingly to each other, "She can't lift it" – as I struggled. My arms shook and I pushed harder still until I would feel the weight give way and my arms straightened above me in victory.
I didn't care that I wasn't the kind of girl you ask to the prom, but instead the kind of girl you ask to help push the car when it breaks down. I come from a family of strong women. My mother is well-known for re-decorating while my father is at work – sometimes moving heavy furniture up and down two flights of stairs by herself.
I associated femininity with weakness and wanted no part of it, but I realized how simplistic this point of view was when I gave birth to my first child. Giving birth is an act that is simultaneously the height of femininity and strength. Now, as the mother of two boys, the lone female in a household full of males, I value my feminine side more than I did growing up. Being married to Carlos though, has made me examine my femininity from a cultural perspective. It hasn't been easy to sort out.
I will try to open a jar of pickles. Carlos will offer to help, reach his hand out for the jar, and I'll turn away with the jar, stubbornly determined to do it myself. This is when Carlos will tell me I'm like my mother or say, "Why do you have to be so American?!" … to which I'd reply, "Why is it an insult to your manhood for me to open the pickles myself?!"
Over the years, I've learned to (usually), hand over the jar of pickles. It makes Carlos feel good to do it for me. I never pretend I can't do anything, but if it's difficult, why not give him the satisfaction of feeling that he takes care of me?
I thought that over the years, Carlos and I had mostly ironed out this one cultural wrinkle. We both have made compromises. I let him open jars of pickles that are difficult for me to open, (damn you, carpal tunnel) – and he doesn't expect me to act completely helpless – fair enough… but at the grocery store while I was unloading the cart at the cash register, I retrieved the case of bottled water from the bottom of the cart and hefted it up and onto the conveyor belt. I thought nothing of it but Carlos whispered through clenched teeth, "Hey, you should have asked me to do it. You're embarrassing me."
Embarrassing Carlos was not my intention or even something I had considered – I just wanted to get the groceries checked out so we could go home, (and for the record, the cashier seemed completely unaware of the battle going on right in front of her.) I guess the lesson here is that Carlos and I will always have cultural issues to work on – nothing is ever resolved so completely that it won't pop up again, so ingrained are the traits we bring from our two different backgrounds.
What is your take and your experiences on the topic of feminine strength vs. machismo?

Flu shots this fall are offering more in one punch. Coloradans now can get a nasal spray with protection against four flu virus strains instead of the usual three.
State health officials also are offering a new vaccine for people with severe allergies to eggs, normally used in vaccine production. And, for people who hate shots, there is a small, thin needle that penetrates only the skin, not the muscle, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
People and children over six months old should get flu shots, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those at high risk of developing serious complications from the flu include those 65 years and older, kids under age 5 and pregnant women.
Here's a list of where to get flu shots: http://flushot.healthmap.org.

I've been meeting with family, relatives, and friends these last few days. Starting from my eldest sis who came here for meeting. Then my suk2, sukme, and cousin who came from Bangka. We went out together for dinner for consecutively two days (on Tue and Wed). First night we had our dinner at Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice at Balestier Road. Actually at first we would like to have Bakuteh, but too bad the shop was closed on Tuesday, that's why we ended up eating chicken rice there. Only on the second night then we had the bakuteh at Founder Bakuteh, also at Balestier Road. I also met up w/ suk Asen and his friends who came here for 4 days 3 nights.
I met up w/ Ing2 and her family members on Monday. She came here for a short holiday. It's been so many years since we met up together (around 15 years, I guess). She is now having 2 children (Whitney and Wilbert). She looks the same. I still can recognise her. The way she talks, still like before, 'preman' style.. hahahaha.... She is still as funny as before.. If only my 3rd sis was here, it must be very fun!!! Below is her pic.. We met up at Food Republic and had our snack and dinner there.
And today, I met up w/ my high school' friends. At first, I thought I would only meet Lucy together w/ Aileen and Shelly, but then Aileen told me that Sylvia Darwin is in Singapore w/ her hubby. And later on found out that Denvy would be coming too. Hendry Agus and Anthony were coming too. We had drink first at TCC (Aileen, Shelly, Lucy, her mom, and cousin), then continuing w/ dinner at Thai Express at Plaza Singapura.
I'm just coming back home and taking my bath. Since I'm not sleepy yet, then I just uploaded the pics we've taken to my laptop and write this.. hehehe...
This pic was taken before all of us going back home...
See you all again friends.... Take care!!!

|Corchiani battles with Vinny Del Negro during a 2014 alumni game. Todd Fuller looks on
So what the hell happened to Chris Corchiani? I'm surprised he didn't aspire to become a head coach. Diminutive white point guards (e.g Brooks, Scott) usually fiend for head coaching jobs. He used to head up a real estate firm in North Carolina called "Team Corchiani." More recently, he manages DNJ Gateway Mortgage.
Kevin Totti Corchiani (who's only 13 years younger than Chris, weird). He's apparently a movie producer and produced a movie called Broken Angel, the story of a girl who comes from Turkey in the 1980s to America. Sounds incredibly boring. I guess his American Dad's hoops game didn't turn him on to sports. Imagine if he had Turkoglu's drive. He could've become the Chris Corchiani of Turkey, just like Hedo is the Michael Jordan of Turkey.
Addendum 2/18/12: Watch as Corchiani and former Celtic Tom Gugliotta are ejected from an NC State game as spectators.

Watson's defeat of man struck a hard blow against our hope of dominating computers in trivia party games ever again, but do you know who was hurt worse? The charity that Ken Jennings was playing for. Instead of taking home $US1 million, Ken Jennings won $US300,000 (and gave half of that to charity).
Here's your chance to fight back against the machines by donating $US1 to VillageReach, Ken's charity of choice. Well, mostly only one machine. One machine whose cold exterior belies a very warm interior (servers get pretty hot when they're running).
Even though Watson's winnings were all donated as well, I'd like to think that he blew his half on RAM and compressed air dust removers. [Philanthroper]

Tiger of Sweden Jeans Cardigans
Tiger of Sweden was founded in 1903 in the Swedish town of Uddevalla by tailors Markus Schwarmann and Hjalmar Nordstram. The first to bring ready-to-wear tailoring to Sweden, making a formerly costly way-of-dress accessible to the masses and, in turn, wholly revolutionizing the way Swedes dressed, the label roots itself in the Scandinavian principles of equality and fairness. Though the brand's 115 years of heritage is grounded in classic tailoring, their contemporary Tiger of Sweden Jeans collection acts as a casual counterpart to the polished formality of its main menswear line. Embracing a forward-thinking attitude, Tiger of Sweden Jeans offers a contemporary take on classic staples: denim jeans, button-ups, turtlenecks, and sweatshirts are made modern by the influences of traditional workwear, skate culture, and sportswear. Straight-forward and unpretentious in its design, the brand weaves an air of nonchalance into an aesthetic of elegant simplicity. Favouring authenticity over fleeting trends, Tiger of Sweden stays true to its core values and, in so doing, positions itself as a curator of contemporary culture.
There are currently no products available for Tiger of Sweden Jeans Cardigans.

If recent trends hold, a solid majority of Californians who vote in the current election will vote by mail. We're told they do this because they like the convenience of taking their time and voting at home.
But why vote at home by yourself? Mail ballots represent a mostly untapped opportunity for people to get together, connect with each other over political discussion, and vote together.
So here's a suggestion: have a mail ballot party.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Invite friends over. Heck, if you want it to be really interesting, invite a few enemies over. Have some food and drink, talk over the issues, and then fill out your ballots as you sit down together.
Not only would this be more pleasant as a way to vote, you'd be getting to know people better.
Plus, you'd be more likely to return your ballot. (Significant percentages of people who request mail ballots don't turn them in on time.)
There's healthy social pressure when you have a party to get the thing filled out.
And yes, I can hear the howls of those paranoids out there who are worried about fraud and are demanding a return to the secret ballot.
To that, the proper response is: get over yourself. There's nothing illegal about this. And mail ballots, if used to bring voters together, represent a return to an American tradition of viva voce, or voting in public.
Americans used to vote in public, marching or parading to the voting location and speaking their votes, or at least marking irregular ballots. Election Days were carnivals in those days -- an opportunity for citizens to be together.
California is a place with relatively low levels of connection and engagement. People don't know their neighbors well. They aren't that involved in the community. They aren't well connected to politics. The mail ballot, used socially, offers an opportunity to do better in all these areas.

Blues Sign Shattenkirk to 4-Year Dealby Staff Writer / St. Louis Blues
AUDIO: Kevin Shattenkirk Conference Call | Doug Armstrong Comments
The Blues have signed defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk to a new four-year contract.
"(Kevin) has probably been the most consistent player we've had in our organization," General Manager Doug Armstrong said. "In each of his first three seasons, Kevin has finished in the Top 25 in scoring by a defenseman and we expect him to continue to be among the NHL leaders."
Said Shattenkirk, "Obviously I'm on cloud nine right now. This is a great opportunity for me," Shattenkirk said. "To have the type of commitment that the Blues made and the faith that they have in me to perform and showing it in this way is pretty special.
"We both wanted to get something done and I think there was a deal to be had the whole way through...it's nice to have this weight off my back and focus on things going forward for the rest of the summer."
Shattenkirk, 24, dressed in all 48 games last season, ranking second among Blues defensemen in points (23). He was tied for the team lead in goals by a defenseman with five. Since entering the NHL in 2010, Shattenkirk ranks fourth among all American-born defensemen in points (109) and is fifth in both goals (23) and assists (86).
In each of the past three seasons, Shattenkirk has finished in the Top 25 in scoring by a defenseman, a feat accomplished by only five other players (Alex Pietrangelo, Keith Yandle, Dustin Byfuglien and Duncan Keith).
In 2011-12, his first full season with the Blues, Shattenkirk (43 points) and Pietrangelo (51 points) became just the fourth set of defensemen in Blues history to each record over 40 points in the same season (the last two were Chris Pronger (47) and Al MacInnis (46) in 2001-02). In addition, in 2010-11 Shattenkirk became just the second rookie defensemen in NHL history to record a point streak of at least nine games.
Overall, the 5-foot-11, 207-pound defenseman has appeared in three NHL seasons, accumulating 109 points (23 goals and 86 assists) to go along with 116 penalty minutes in 201 career regular season games. He has four points (one goal, three assists) in 15 career postseason games.
The Greenwich, Connecticut native was originally acquired by the Blues along with Chris Stewart from Colorado on Feb. 19, 2011.
He was drafted by Colorado in the first round (14th overall) of the 2007 NHL Draft.

The role of regions in the 'Future of Europe' will be the key topic of debate at the upcoming CPMR Political Bureau.
The meeting is taking place on the island of Gozo, Malta, on 10 March, at the kind invitation of Anton Refalo, Minister of Gozo.
Held during the Maltese Presidency of the European Union, the meeting will offer the opportunity for the CPMR to align its priorities and actions for the period ahead with those of the EU.
The session on the Future of the European Project will involve discussion and the reaction of Region's to last week's release of the European Commission's White paper, which outlined five scenarios for the Future of Europe. This will be accompanied by a debate on the Future of the EU Budget.
The debate on Cohesion Policy will provide an update on the CPMR's proposals for the policy post-2020, which are being developed with the support of a number of member regions.
As the day progresses, the session on Maritime Issues will give member regions the chance to address maritime investments in relation to the priorities of the Maltese Presidency. During this discussion, Nektarios Santorinios, the Greek Deputy Minister of Shipping and Islands Policy, will provide insight into his country's challenges and aspirations and how they meet the CPMR's priorities ahead of the interministerial meeting on maritime issues.
There will also be a discussion to assess the CPMR's work to date on the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and Motorways of the Sea (MoS), which will be chaired Annika Annerby, CPMR Vice-president and Vice-president of the Skåne Region.
The discussion on migration will give regional representatives the chance to debate a range of critical issues at hand.
And the session on Macro Regions will be chaired by Vanessa Charbonneau, Vice-President of the Pays de la Loire Region.
Visit the CPMR website for more information about the meeting, including the agenda and practical guidance.

What to do with
Your local household waste recycling centre may have a donation point for paint - it is re-used rather than recycled. Alternatively, donate your paint directly to a local Community Repaint scheme.
Keep your paint in tip top condition...
- When opening lids, do so carefully to avoid damaging the can sealing ring
- Protect the paint from frost and extreme temperatures as these can damage the paint
- To stop your paint from drying out - ensure the lid is on securely and tightly; tip the container upside down for a few seconds (this will help stop a skin forming on the paint); store the paint containers in an upright position
Pass it on...
If you have unwanted paint, which is still usable there are several ways you can dispose of it.
- Ask family and friends - it might be perfect for a painting project they have in mind
- Donate it to a local project - Community Repaint is a network of paint donation schemes; find your nearest scheme on their website. Please note: Only usable paint suitable for domestic application can be accepted. Unfortunately they are unable to accept oil-based glosses, satinwoods, eggshells, primers or undercoats which have the orange high-VOC symbolar paint, aerosols & spray paints, paint over 10 years old, paint containing lead or paint that is not in its original container
- Councils are unable to accept liquid paint, as liquid wastes are banned from landfill sites, so if you can't use it up or find it a good home by giving it away you will need to harden it before disposal. You can buy a paint hardener, or add sawdust, sand or soil to the tin and leave the lid off until the paint becomes solid and dry (please pierce the dried paint before taking it to a household waste recycling centre to make sure it's fully hardened)
- Solvent based paint, paint thinner and white spirit should be disposed of as hazardous waste

When Stu Bullen set out on his survey, he never expected to tangle with some bushy-tailed lager louts.
Staycationing this summer? Here are 10 places to introduce kids to the joys of wildlife.
Feeling brave? Hate crowds? Here are 10 places that offer a really wild day out.
Shetland is the best place in Britain to see orcas, otters and breeding seabirds. James Fair reports on the islands that some say rival the Galápagos as a wildlife experience.
A musky perfume, a pile of twigs – the evidence all adds up. European beavers have returned to mid-Argyll after four centuries of absence. Kenny Taylor takes a magical mystery tour of their new home.
The flatlands of the Somerset Levels have inspired wildlife film-maker Simon King since he was a boy, and in this exclusive article he explains why.
Windswept and waterlogged, Ireland really is different to the rest of the British Isles and offers some unique wildlife encounters. Just don't forget your raincoat.
It's still possible to find untouched Edens in Britain. Fergus Collins visits a pair of islands on western Scotland's Celtic fringe, where wildlife far outnumbers people.
There is no better way to see the British countryside than on two legs, so James Fair put on his walking boots with the intention of following the entire length of the River Dart.
There are many ways to explore the Wye Valley. James Fair follows the river from source to mouth to discover the wildlife living on and around this famous stretch of water.


text: Visiting Anderson erased a 22-point deficit to take a late lead during Thursday afternoon's exhibition game at the Vines Center. However, the Liberty duo of Ashley Rininger and Jaymee Fisher-Davis helped the Lady Flames come away with a 69-66 victory on the second annual "Best Field Trip Ever Day." More than 600 local elementary and middle school students looked on as the defending South Atlantic Conference champion Trojans (7-3) fashioned a late 17-1 run. Katie Davis' hoop from close range at 3:42 put Anderson in front, 61-60. But Liberty (4-5) countered with a 7-0 game-sealing burst, consisting of two free throws and a putback hoop by Rininger and Fisher-Davis' third triple of the game. The sophomore's trifecta gave the Lady Flames a 67-61 lead with just 1:29 to play, and Liberty went on to close out a three-point win. For the game, Rininger led all players with 23 points and 13 rebounds. Fisher-Davis added 11 points, which would have set a new career high if it had been a regular-season tilt. Liberty got off to a fast start, opening up an 11-point lead (20-9) within the first 5:11 of the game. Anderson battled back, tying the score at 24-24 on Madison Floyd's jumper with 7:59 remaining in the opening half. Aided by back-to-back Fisher-Davis three-pointers, the Lady Flames opened up another double-digit advantage at the end of the opening half. Liberty scored 16 of the period's final 19 points, taking a 42-29 lead into the locker room. Liberty used its size advantage to good effect in the first half, posting a 24-11 rebounding edge and a 20-6 cushion in points in the paint. Rininger paced all players in both points (15) and rebounds (6) in the first half. Davis' eight first-half points topped the Trojans' scorers. The Lady Flames carried their momentum from the end of the first half into the second half, opening the period with a 9-0 run. Emily Frazier's layup off of a nice feed from Mickayla Sanders fell through the hoop at 17:25, making the score 51-29 in favor of the home team. Anderson then began its furious late comeback effort, which was spurred on by five second-half three-pointers. Liberty finished the game at just 39.4 percent (26-of-66) from the floor. However, the Lady Flames were able to score 28 points off of Anderson's 23 turnovers and win the rebounding battle by a 43-34 count. Anderson shot 43.9 percent (25-of-57) from the field, including eight triples. Katelyn Adams made it three Lady Flames in double figures, posting 11 points and six rebounds. Four Anderson players scored in double digits during the matinee, including Davis (14 points), Sierra Simpson (12), Heather Jankowy (12) and Emily Willoughby (10). Liberty will close out the non-conference portion of its 2013-14 schedule next Thursday (Dec. 19), when the Lady Flames travel to UNCW. Tipoff is slated for 11:30 a.m. at Trask Coliseum.

New York, April 18, 2013--Yemeni authorities must investigate a series of assaults on the press in the past two weeks and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. A bomb was discovered at a building that houses media outlets and three journalists received death threats, according to news reports and journalists who spoke to CPJ.
"Yemeni journalists face an array of threats from a wide range of sources," said Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa Coordinator. "Authorities must apprehend the people who are planting bombs and making death threats against journalists."
Police defused a bomb hidden in a black bag on Wednesday at the entrance of a building housing the daily newspaper Al-Masdar and the Yemen Youth TV channel in Sana'a, the paper reported. An expert from the Ministry of Interior told Al-Masdar that such an explosive was often used by military intelligence, and said the bomb had parts from Russia and the U.S.
No group has taken responsibility for planting the device. It is unclear who the bomb was supposed to target.
In an unrelated case, Abdul-Raqeeb al-Hudayyani, editor-in-chief of the news website Aden Online, told CPJ that he received anonymous death threats after his website published an article on March 5 that alleged corruption within the government-owned daily 14 October. The article said the paper had used money to print pictures of a southern secessionist leader and former vice president of Yemen. The paper denied the accusations and said Aden Online had cited forged documents. More than a month later, a judge told al-Hudayyani the paper had filed a case against him for forging documents, the journalist said.
Al-Hudayyani told CPJ that he had also been threatened this year after criticizing the southern secessionist movement in Yemen.
In another case, Mohammed Ayesh, editor-in-chief of the daily independent Al-Oula, told CPJ he has received several death threats in phone messages since April 9. The threats, originating from both domestic and foreign numbers, threatened to cut off his hand and tongue.
Ayesh told CPJ that the individuals identified themselves as residents defending the "honor" of Marib province. Al-Oula had published an article on April 9 accusing groups in the province of sabotaging power lines and causing power outages across Yemen. But Ayesh said the threats could actually be an attempt to silence the paper, which has published several articles critical of the government and religious groups. He said unidentified gunmen angry at the paper's coverage of the government had attempted to storm the newspaper's headquarters in Sana'a last August.
The local media watchdog Freedom Foundation also reported that a journalist with the daily newspaper Al-Thawra, Mohammed Qa'ed al-Azizi, was threatened by gunmen last Tuesday in Sana'a. Al-Thawra reported that the assailants demanded that the journalist stop writing about corruption. Freedom Foundation told CPJ that the incident may be related to the paper's recent investigation of illegal prisons run by tribal leaders in Sana'a.
In an unrelated episode, three unidentified gunmen on April 7 briefly abducted Naif Hassan and Nashwan Dammaj, editors from the daily independent Al-Sharea, while they were on a reporting trip in the northern province of Al-Jawf, the paper reported. The assailants took the journalists to a nearby village, where they held them for half an hour before armed tribal group members ordered their release. The journalists were unharmed.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The text of this alert has been modified to reflect that Mohammed Qa'ed al-Azizi is a journalist with Al-Thawra, and not the director, as was previously stated.

Download V. S. Naipaul Study Guide
(Great Authors of World Literature, Critical Edition)
Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul (ni-POHL), born in Chaguanas, Trinidad, on August 17, 1932, has the peculiar vision of a man who is a product of three cultures: those of India, Trinidad, and Great Britain. His grandfather had come from India to Trinidad as an indentured laborer; one may see from Naipaul's earlier novels, and particularly in A House for Mr. Biswas, how pervasive and tenacious the Indian culture remained among the many Indian immigrants to the Caribbean.
Naipaul completed his early education in Port of Spain, Trinidad. After working briefly as a schoolmaster at his old school and as a clerk in the Port of Spain Registrar's Department, he left Trinidad for England on August 2, 1950, to attend University College, Oxford. On a Trinidad government scholarship, he studied literature and planned to become a writer. When his father died in 1953, Naipaul did not return home, but stayed in England to finish his degree. After graduating from Oxford in 1954, he worked briefly in the cataloging department of the National Portrait Gallery, London. Except for a few weeks writing advertising copy in 1957, this would be his last nonliterary job.
Although Naipaul traveled widely, London remained his home of choice. From 1954 to 1955, he worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Caribbean Service, presenting the weekly literary program Caribbean Voices. In 1955, he married Patricia Ann Hale. In 1960, he toured the West Indies on a three-month scholarship from the Trinidad and Tobago government; in 1962, he took a year-long tour of India and in 1966 traveled to the Caribbean and the United States to begin an extensive study of Trinidad's history. He returned to England in 1970.
Self-imposed exile became a major theme in Naipaul's writing, yet his earliest novels deal primarily with the multiethnic character of Trinidad and the doings of its inhabitants. Miguel Street, published in 1959, touches on the themes that would be fully realized in his later novels. These themes are presented in a series of vignettes set in a slum street in Port of Spain. The narrator, a street boy, comments on the various characters. Generally, the Trinidadian society that Naipaul presents in his earlier novels is one marked by lassitude in conflict with ambition, corruption, and the inevitable failure of hope in such a milieu. The major characters of The Mystic Masseur and The Suffrage of Elvira rise in politics through the ignorance, superstition, and greed of the society; any integrity with which they begin is lost in this environment.
A more optimistic tone, relatively speaking, is evident in Naipaul's first major novel, A House for Mr. Biswas. This epic novel, which covers the progress of three generations of West Indian Hindus, begins with a description of Biswas's house, a badly built, inelegant structure, and then explains how Biswas acquired it. By the end of the novel, the reader sees the house the way Biswas sees it: as the symbol of a triumph over a society which encourages the deadliest sort of inertia.
In a radical departure from his usual concerns, Naipaul published the story of a middle-aged, middle-class Englishman whose ambition is to be inducted into a certain honorary club. Mr. Stone and the Knights Companion has nothing of Trinidad or India in it. Yet the theme of struggle against an uncaring society is recognizably Naipaul's and perhaps the only factor that connects it to the rest of his work.
Naipaul's next novel, written after he had traveled through the Americas and India, again uses a West Indian Hindu as a protagonist. The Mimic Men was written in the form of an autobiography that explores the rise and fall of Ralph Singh, an imperfect "mimic" of Western culture. It is perhaps significant that Singh, at the time of writing his memoirs, is living in a London hotel. In this novel Naipaul explores one of his major themes, the effect of colonization upon the colonized.
The search for order, safety, and freedom becomes the...

Web Resources: Joan Petersilia Explains California's Realignment Policy
I have lamented many times on this blog that the media has not been entirely accurate in its reporting on California's "realignment" policy that went into effect in October 2011 (e.g. here and here). Luckily, there is no reason to be misinformed about realignment anymore because expert criminologist Joan Petersilia, who probably knows more about California parole and reentry than anyone and has advised California governors on criminal justice policy, has recently given an interview the Berkeley Law "Criminal Justice Conversations" podcast series. Listen here!
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the numerous comments that keep streaming in on an earlier post I did on realignment, there seems to be widespread confusion not just in the media, but also on the ground about how realignment is being interpreted and applied in particular counties. Perhaps this is because the state and/or the counties are not doing a good job of communicating the policy to the public, or because the policy itself has some gaps, or simply isn't working well (or isn't working as well everywhere), or… etc. Whatever the reason for the confusion, this makes it all the more problematic that, as Petersilia notes in the podcast, the realignment bill did not set aside funds for evaluating its implementation:
You know it's so disheartening, I can hardly voice it to you, to be honest with you. It goes against every other trend in every other state, and as you said, at the federal government, but it also goes against California's recent history. Every other major initiative in modern history in California has had a set-aside, that if you're going to spend all of this money to do things differently, somebody should be accountable and report back to the legislature about how well it worked. Realignment, we're investing much more then any of these previous initiatives, and yet isn't it rather odd that we didn't set aside any money for evaluation?
Does California Need a Truth Commission about Prison Overcrowding?
Berkeley law professor Jonathan Simon thinks so:
[W]e need a commission to investigate for the public record how the state found itself operating prisons that attract words like torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment. This is not Honduras where poverty, spiraling crime, and corruption are the order of the day, or Mexico, but we had prisons that belong in the same frame as recent news stories about the fire the killed hundreds in an overcrowded and chaotic Honduran prison (Guardian coverage here) and a murderous riot by one prison gang against another in Mexico to cover over an escape of elite gang members abetted by guards (coverage in the Guardian here).
Given the severity of the human rights problem in California's prisons and its duration for more than two decades, retrospective documentation should lead to prospective preventive techniques. The commission could become a California Committee for the Prevention of Torture, or CAL CPT, modeled on the European CPT; a body of legal, medical, human rights, and criminological expert investigators with the authority to inspect any prison, mental hospital, or indeed any place of confinement, in order to warn state government of the potential for degrading conditions to form and how to prevent it.
The full post and more are at Simon's always thought-provoking Governing through Crime blog.
"Room for Debate": Would Ending the War on Drugs Resolve Racial Imbalance in the Prison System?
The New York Times "Room for Debate" feature this week addresses the racial imbalance in incarceration rates, providing a range of opinions on the question:
The news for young black men is not good: they are disproportionately singled out for discipline in school, they are more likely to be stopped and frisked by New York City police officers, and according to Michelle Alexander in her book, "The New Jim Crow," nearly one-third of black men are likely to spend time in prison at some point in their lives.
Would pulling back on draconian drug laws or legalizing marijuana be enough to fix this imbalance? What else needs to be done?
New York Times: "Prisons Rethink Isolation"
In light of the recently filed lawsuit against Arizona alleging overuse of solitary confinement, the New York Times has some timely reporting on other states that have decided to reduce their use of isolation as punishment — including Mississippi, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Washington State, and most recently, California:
The efforts represent an about-face to an approach that began three decades ago, when corrections departments — responding to increasing problems with prison gangs, stiffer sentencing policies that led to overcrowding and the "get tough on crime" demands of legislators — began removing ever larger numbers of inmates from the general population. They placed them in special prisons designed to house inmates in long-term isolation or in other types of segregation.
At least 25,000 prisoners — and probably tens of thousands more, criminal justice experts say — are still in solitary confinement in the United States. Some remain there for weeks or months; others for years or even decades. More inmates are held in solitary confinement here than in any other democratic nation, a fact highlighted in a United Nations report last week.
In particular, the article discusses the evidence that prolonged isolation can cause and/or exacerbate mental illness: Read the rest of this entry »
ACLU, Prison Law Office File Suit against the Arizona Prison System
Here's some interesting news on the prison litigation front: The ACLU of Arizona has joined forces with the Berkeley, Calif.-based Prison Law Office — they're the ones who've been litigating California prison conditions cases for years, and brought us last year's Plata decision at SCOTUS. The two groups have filed a federal lawsuit charging that the Arizona prison system's use of solitary confinement amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, in violation of the Eighth Amendment:
In one particularly tragic case, a prisoner at the state prison complex in Tucson died last year of untreated lung cancer that spread to his liver, lymph nodes and other major organs before prison officials even bothered to send him to a hospital. The prisoner, Ferdinand Dix, filed repeated health needs requests and presented numerous symptoms associated with lung cancer. His liver was infested with tumors and swelled to four times its normal size, pressing on other internal organs and impeding his ability to eat. Prison medical staff responded by telling him to drink energy shakes. He died in February 2011, days after finally being sent to a hospital but only after his abdomen was distended to the size of that of a full-term pregnant woman. A photograph of Dix shortly before his death appears in the lawsuit.
Jackie Thomas, one of the lawsuit's named plaintiffs who is housed in solitary confinement at the state prison complex in Eyman, has suffered significant deterioration in his physical and mental health as a result of being held in isolation, where he has become suicidal and repeatedly harmed himself in other ways. Prison staff have failed to treat his mental illness, improperly starting and stopping psychotropic medications and repeatedly using ineffective medications that carry severe side effects. Last November, Thomas overdosed on medication but did not receive any medical care.
Given the unique circumstances under which Plata rose to the Supreme Court — California's prison overcrowding had been endemic for years, and had reached the level of a state of emergency, as declared by Governor Schwarzenegger — I wasn't sure that the Plata ruling would have much practical effect beyond the Golden State. So it'll be interesting to watch as the Prison Law Office expands its work to Arizona. As Plata itself demonstrates, the staff there have a track record of translating concerns about prison conditions into legal claims that courts take seriously.
You can read the full complaint here [PDF]. Also involved in the suit is the Arizona Center for Disability Law. And there's more info at the always excellent Solitary Watch blog.
And for broader historical context on the Arizona prison system, I highly recommend Mona Lynch's Sunbelt Justice, which I blogged about here.
"Prison walls do not form a barrier … from the protections of the Constitution"
New York federal judge Shira Scheindlin recently ordered the Bureau of Prisons to transfer Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout out of solitary confinement and into the general population (h/t Solitary Watch).
Given this blog's focus, I thought I'd excerpt here a portion of Scheindlin's opinion that provides a useful short primer on how judges evaluate the constitutionality of prison regulations:
The standard for evaluating whether prison regulations impinge on a convicted prisoner's constitutional rights is set forth in Turner v. Safley. In Turner, the Supreme Court held that to determine whether a prison regulation "burdens fundamental rights," the reviewing court asks whether the regulation is "'reasonably related' to legitimate penological objectives, or whether it represents an 'exaggerated response' to those concerns." Turner outlined a four-factor test for evaluating whether a prison regulation that allegedly violates a constitutional right is reasonably related to a valid correctional objective. The court must consider first whether there is a "valid, rational connection" between the regulation and the legitimate governmental interest used to justify it; second, whether there are alternative means for the prisoner to exercise the right at issue; third, the impact that the desired accommodation will have on guards, other inmates, and prison resources; and fourth, the absence of "ready alternatives." …
In conducting this rational basis review, deference is accorded to the BOP's determination. The Supreme Court has noted that courts are "'ill equipped to deal with the increasingly urgent problems of prison administration and reform'" and that "separation of powers concerns counsel a policy of judicial restraint." However, as previously noted, "[p]rison walls do not form a barrier separating prison inmates from the protections of the Constitution" and "'[w]hen a prison . . . practice offends a fundamental constitutional guarantee, federal courts will discharge their duty to protect constitutional rights.'"
Georgia Prison Guards Settle Lawsuit over Alleged Beatings for $93,000
Georgia prison guards accused of beating four inmates have agreed to pay $93,000 to settle a federal lawsuit over the allegations. The Chattanooga Times Free-Press reports:
"We think this recognizes that there is a problem with excessive force at Hays State Prison," said Atteeyah Hollie, an attorney for the Southern Center for Human Rights.
The Atlanta-based human rights group filed the civil lawsuit in July in federal court in Rome, Ga., on behalf of four inmates. The inmates claim they were beaten when officers responded to a fight in a nearby prison cell in August 2010.
Georgia Department of Corrections officials said they were reviewing questions from the Times Free Press about the suit, but didn't have a response by Friday afternoon.
This is the second time the human rights group has sued the maximum security prison in Trion, Ga., alleging excessive force. A suit was settled in 1997 on behalf of 14 men who claimed they were beaten without reason.
More on the settlement here, from the Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights.
