The Laurel Detention Center is within the jurisdiction of the Kentucky State Juvenile Justice System located at 225 North Laurel Road, London, KY. We encourage you to review these questions and answers! If you have a question, let us know and we will answer it for you.
A status offense is a violation of the juvenile code which, if that same act were committed by an adult, would not be a violation of the law. There are only five status offenses recognized by Kentucky law.
They are:
(1) truancy,
(2) incorrigible child,
(3) runaway child,
(4) behavior or associations injurious to the welfare of the child and (5) the child is charged with an offense not classified as criminal or applicable only to children.
The juvenile will be released to the juvenile's custodian or another suitable person unless substantial reasons exist for detaining the juvenile. Generally, appropriate reasons for detention in reference to delinquent acts may include but are not limited to
1. Alleged acts resulting in serious bodily injury or property damage/loss which constitutes a felony. 2. Acts of misconduct that placed any person or the general public at risk of serious harm. 3. Acts of misconduct involving a weapon or sexual offense. 4. Circumstances that indicate the juvenile is a significant flight risk and in need of protection.
A juvenile may only be detained in a detention facility as specified by the court and may not be detained in any jail or other adult detention facility.
The Juvenile Officer or designee has the authority to authorize the detention of a juvenile for a period of fewer than twenty-four hours. The Court must authorize continued detention for a period of more than twenty-four hours.
Juveniles may be handcuffed as needed to ensure the safety of all parties, including the juvenile. Juveniles under the age of thirteen should not be handcuffed as a matter of general practice unless the juvenile is combative or a threat to themselves.
Any juvenile taken into custody for offenses that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult shall be fingerprinted and photographed. This is a statutory requirement and consent by the Juvenile Division is not required. For misdemeanors, a juvenile's fingerprints and photographs may be obtained only by a juvenile court order from the judge.
Yes. However, before an in-custody interview or interrogation may begin, a juvenile must be advised by the Juvenile Officer or a designee trained by the Juvenile Officer of each their rights. The admissibility of any juvenile statement is determined by circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. A juvenile may waive the right to have a parent, guardian, or custodian present, but the parent must be present and advised of the juvenile's right to an attorney and remain silent, and the juvenile must be given the opportunity to consult with the parent, guardian, or custodian as to the waiver of the aforesaid rights.
1. The right to remain silent;
2. The right to an attorney and if the juvenile is unable to afford an attorney, that one will be provided;
3. Any statement made to the Juvenile Officer or Juvenile Division personnel may be used in later Juvenile Division proceedings;
4. That if the juvenile indicates in any manner at any time in the interview, they do not wish to be questioned further, the questioning will stop; Any statement to law enforcement or persons other than the Juvenile Officer or Juvenile Division personnel may be used against the juvenile in the event the juvenile is prosecuted as an adult.

There are strict procedures for everything related to "sending things to an inmate" in a State juvenile low facility. This includes sending money for commissary packages, sending mail like letters with photos, magazine subscriptions, buying phone time, postcards and greeting cards, and even distance learning courses (get your degree, you've got a lot of extra time). You also need to know about visitation, what are the hours and rules.
All of the information you could ever need to know is below, patiently scroll the page and get as much information about Laurel Detention Center that you'd ever want to know. If there is anything that you were looking for, but don't see, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here are some general guidelines for sending money to an inmate's trust account; but not specific to a particular facility, institution or jail. Inmates need money to access several privileges like weekly shopping at the commissary, making phone calls, using the email service where offered, using the electronic tablets where offered and paying their co-pay when needing the medical or dental services. Some county jails require a per-night fee for the jail's expenses.
A commissary is a store within the jail. Commissary day is usually held once a week and can only be used if the inmate has funds in their commissary account, like a bank account within the institution. If the inmate has a job, their paycheck is deposited into this account, too.
The Commissary sells various products that the inmates may purchase if they have money on their books. Items sold are clothing, shoes, snacks and food, as well as hygienic products like soap, shampoo, and shavers. The commissary also sells products like books, magazines, televisions, radios, playing cards, headphones, MP3 players, electronic tablets, songs and educational programming. They also sell paper, envelopes, and stamps allowing the inmate to write their loved ones, friends and family. Facilities will provide stamps and paper to inmates who are indigent – eligible where no money has been in their commissary account for at least 30 days.
Sending money to an inmate varies from state to state, depending if it is county, state or federal, their ways of accepting money for inmates' changes by the money transfer company they've contracted with. Federal Prisons and some state-level prisons have centralized banking systems which means that you do not need to know where they are specifically, just that they are in the state systems of for instance the California, Texas, Florida DOC or the FBOP to name a few.
How do I send money using MoneyGram?
Some facilities will allow you to deposit cash through the lobby window stand-alone kiosk in the lobby or visitation room. Most facilities will also accept a postal money order mailed to the institution's inmate mailing address made payable to the full inmate's name.
Electronic banking allows friends and family members to send the funds online, and correctional departments are starting to favor this method because it is less work for staff and more accurate/easier to keep track of, as well as being more convenient.
Regardless of the method of sending funds, there are several key things you will need to know:
• Inmate's full committed name
• Inmate's ID number
• Inmate's location – or a system like the federal BOP
Before sending any funds you should find out what online transfer companies the institution your inmate is incarcerated in uses. You can find this information on our site by navigating to the facilities page click on the Money Transfer button under the address and phone number.
Pay close attention to the rules of the facility. Sometimes they will require money senders are on the inmate's visitation list. Some correctional facilities have a deposit limit, like $200-300 at a time, but in federal, there is no limit.
MoneyGram, JPay, OffenderConnect, AccessCorrections, JailATM, WU, Touchpayonline, tigercommissary, smartdeposit are some of the money transfer firms being used by various facilities. MoneyGram is by far the oldest and most trusted.
An inmate with fines or restitution will be subject to commissary/trust account garnishment. If the inmate has these financial obligations, they will be extracted from the inmate's bank account. It may be a percentage or the entire amount depending on the situation. We recommend inmates who are going into their bid contact the counselor and make an arrangement beforehand. If you go in knowing they are taking 20-25% of all deposits is better than have them take it all and you find out in the commissary line when the account is zero.
This is generally a signal that the inmate is doing something they shouldn't and need money to get them out of or through a situation. It could be gambling, it could be extortion it could be other things you don't need to know on this forum (for now). Set boundaries with your inmate. Tell them that "this is the amount I can send each month" and that is it. There are no extras beyond the boundary. Also, NEVER send money to the account of another inmate on your inmate's instruction. This is a sign that something is not right. If the corrections people discover this, and they do more times than not, it will result in some severe disciplinary action to the inmate, and certainly the loss of all privileges.
We recommend speaking with the counselor or case manager of the facility and use a generic reference in the event that your suspicions are wrong. You needn't put them in a more difficult position if they are.
Show your loved one how much you care – order a package today! The facilities usually have a weekly limit of about $100 per inmate, plus processing and tax. The orders do NOT count towards the inmates weekly commissary allowances Deposits can be made online for inmates 24/7 using a credit/debit card
There are also a few services that allow you how to order inmate commissary online. These trusted providers are approved and share revenue with the prisons from the sales to the inmates.
Here is a list of other similar programs prison commissary: Keefe Group, Access Securpak, iCareGifts, Union Supply Direct, Walkenhorst's, CareACell
Prison commissary (also sometimes referred to as inmate canteen) is a store for inmates housed within a correctional facility. While the very most basics may be provided for by a given correctional department, there are also other important goods/services that Florida prisoners and inmates must buy. For instance, supplies such as supplementary food, female hygiene products, books, writing utensils and a plethora of other things are examples of things that can be purchased as part of an inmate commissary packages for goods.
When you add money to an inmate account, the prison funds are stored on an inmate trust fund. This prison account basically acts as a personal bank account of an inmate. They will use this account to make Inmate Calls, pay for postage to Send Photos from Inmates, send emails from inmates, purchase Items from Commissary, receive wages from jobs, and more.
Incoming and outgoing inmate mail is subject to inspection for the presence of contraband that might threaten the safety, security or well-being of the jail/facility, its staff, and residents. Inmates may receive only metered, unstamped, plain white postcards no larger than 4" x 6" as mail. Writing must be in pencil or blue or black ink. Any other mail will be returned to the sender. If no return address is available, unauthorized mail will be stored in the inmate's locker until the inmate's release.
Inmate mail cannot contain any of the following: Create an immediate threat to jail order by describing the manufacture of weapons, bombs, incendiary devices, or tools for escape that realistically are a danger to jail security; Advocate violence, racial supremacy or ethnic purity; No current inmate-to-inmate mail will be allowed and will be destroyed.
The easiest workaround is to look over the mailing services of InmateAid. We have an automated system for sending your loved one that special message or picture. We send thousands of pieces of mail per month with NO issues with the prisons or jails. The envelopes display the InmateAid logo, the mail room knows for certain that the contents will not be compromising. This trust was established in 2012.
Greeting cards are great for the holidays and birthdays. The ones from the store often have more than just the message because the policies surrounding appropriate content (no nudity or sexually suggestive material no matter how funny), and they cannot have glitter, stickers or anything else that makes the card different from a normal plain old card. Instead of going to the Hallmark store in the mall and looking around for hours - go to our easy to search Greeting Cards service.
It takes literally 45 seconds and it's very affordable for what you're getting (and what they are getting, too!). Select from 100s of birthday, anniversary and every holiday you can think of, and VERY easy to send from your phone on InmateAid:

Don't wait until the moment has passed, it's easy and convenient to let them know you're thinking of them at every moment.
Send the best magazines and books to your Inmate in jail or prison, it's the gift that keeps on giving all year round, There is nothing more exciting to an inmate (besides their release date) than getting their favorite magazine every month at mail call.
Magazines and books must come directly from the publisher. You are not allowed to send single magazines in an envelope. They need to come directly from the publisher with your inmate's name affixed to the address label. Magazine subscriptions are easy to set up, it takes literally 2 minutes.
You know when you go into the grocery and browse the new magazines on display? You see hundreds. Inside they place a little card that if you fill it out and send it in with your inmate's name, ID number and facility address - you drop it in the mail and in 8-12 weeks your inmate gets an issue every month for a whole year. Thankfully, there is an easier way, just CLICK here and browse yourself. Select a title or two and add your inmate's name to the order. It's fast, it's reliable and it's at a discounted rate for your convenience.
The prison phone companies have a monopoly at the facility they have a contract with. Profits are shared so there is no incentive for their representatives to show you how to save money. They post their rates and in almost every case, there are at least two pricing tiers. Depending on where you are and where your inmate is, the type of phone number you use will make all the difference.
In federal prison, the answer is simply that a new local number will change your inmate's call rate from $.21 per minute to only $.06 per minute. Fed gives you only 300 minutes per month, the local line service is only $5.00, no hidden fees or bundling of other unwanted service charges
For the other facilities that are not federal, it used to be that a local number was the answer. Now, its market intelligence and InmateAid has made it their business to know what the best deal is in every scenario. And we can tell you that in 30% of the cases, we cannot save you a penny - and neither can anyone else. But we will give you a refund if we can't save you money.
For more specific information on inmate calls, you will want to navigate to the facility your inmate is incarcerated in through our site by going to Prison Directory and following the links to the Discount Telephone Service - get an honest estimate before you buy.

Today Major League Baseball will do what it does best and celebrate its history. Today is Jackie Robinson Day and he will be rightfully honored in ballparks across the country. It is perhaps the quintessential baseball celebration: fond, sepia-toned remembrances that obscure reality. Some memories, however, are getting a touch-up over on the MLB Blogs Network, by John Thorn.
Twenty-five years ago, Thorn unearthed photographs of a younger Jackie Robinson in a Royals jersey, sending him digging. His findings would later be published in Sport in 1988. What he discovered could generously be described as a Branch Rickey media manipulation scheme. Rickey operated in secret and sent various mixed signals, misinformation and straight up lies to cover his plan to be the Man Who Ended Segregation In Baseball. He evidently went so far as to create a dummy team—the creatively called Brooklyn Brown Dodgers—in a new negro league, the sole purpose of which was to serve as a smokescreen for scouting black baseball players. Rickey would be able to say his guys were looking for talent for the Brown Dodgers when in reality, they were scouting black athletes for the blue Dodgers.
Rickey, wanting to preserve the soon-to-be-announced desegregation of the national pastime, hired a writer to craft the message for Look magazine. Arthur Mann wrote a story detailing the signing of not only Jackie Robinson, but several other black players who were supposed be Robinson's teammates. Jackie Robinson was never supposed to go it alone.
Mann makes it clear that Rickey had never planned for one black man to deal with all the problems alone; he had meant to announce the simultaneous signing of several others. Don Newcombe and Sam Jethroe were supposed to have been Robinson's teammates at Montreal, and Roy Partlow, John Wright, and Roy Campanella were to have been assigned to another farm club.
Thorn figures the pictures that started his search were meant to accompany the propaganda. Mann's story, however, was never published. Rickey got cold feet.
...during the 1945 World Series Rickey wrote Mann and told him not to go through with publication of the article. "There is more involved in the situation than I had contemplated." What he meant was that the integration of baseball was becoming a divisive and public issue in New York City politics, and Rickey no longer had time to execute his master plan. In order to deter the Communist Party or Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia from taking the credit for pushing baseball to integrate, after all Rickey's years of work behind the scenes, he had to rush the signing of Robinson, and Robinson alone.
That sure sounds like Branch Rickey sold Jackie Robinson out. Rather than get scooped in the annals of history as the Man Who Ended Segregation In Baseball and give Robinson a few extra shoulders to carry the load, he scrapped his "master plan," as Thorn puts it, and thrust Robinson in the spotlight—alone. Rickey comes off so obsessed with ending baseball's backward Jim Crow attitude—and more importantly, getting credit for it, that he likely had no problem exploiting the man who would soon become a symbol for racial equality.

Fresh off starting their new positions at Regulatory Compliance Associates, Craig Moreshead and Lori Weston have zeroed in on three issues they should be on advisors' radar screens: the Securities and Exchange Commission's pay-to-play rule and Form PF as well as the use of social media.
While both are busy assisting client firms with registration issues surrounding the switching of advisors from federal to state registration, Moreshead and Weston told AdvisorOne they are also looking at issues that are bringing a lot of inquiries like the SEC's pay-to-play rule, which Moreshead says is "not so new; it came out about a year ago, but it is certainly new to managers who haven't been registered before and haven't had to deal with it. It's a unique regulation, and certainly the penalties are severe if you go awry."
The pay-to-play rule restricts advisors' and their employees' ability to make political contributions to government officials to influence the selection of advisors to public pension funds and other government entities.
The pay-to-play rules are "a challenge for advisors because it is a trap for the unwary, especially since political contributions are beyond the purview of what an advisor would normally consider investment-related compliance." Not only that, but the involvement of hiring personnel also comes into compliance, he says, thanks to the "look back" provision that attributes to the firm political contributions made by new employees up to six months prior to employment—going back two years instead of six months, if the new employee is a solicitor.
He continues, "The books and records requirement to maintain a record of all government entities to which the firm has provided advisory services also presents challenges for many firms (especially those firms providing advisory services to registered investment companies or private funds in which government entities are investors)."
It's also important to remember, he adds, "the severity of the penalties for non-compliance where a firm would be barred from receiving compensation from a government entity within two years after a contribution has been made. In addition, private fund managers who are exempt from registration (i.e., exempt reporting advisors) are subject to the play to play rule."
Social media is a fairly new topic that is also on "the radar screen of the SEC and the states," says Moreshead. Questions are already coming in on what a firm's policy ought to be in practice and controls, he says. In this area as in so many others in the field of compliance, he points out that for each firm the correct policy will be different. A formula for compliance in this arena is definitely not one-size-fits-all.
A third subject that is also already an area of interest to client firms as they prepare to satisfy regulators is Form PF, which, says Moreshead, isn't in effect yet, but will require a lot of disclosures on the part of private fund managers. He adds, "We're getting questions on those, and looking at those requirements and how we might be able to service clients in that area."
Both, formerly with Lincoln Financial—Moreshead with Lincoln Financial Group and Weston with Lincoln Financial Network—bring substantial experience to their new roles as manager of investment advisor services and investment advisor compliance specialist, respectively.
Moreshead is responsible for compliance consulting, hedge fund registrations and examinations, SEC and state regulation interpretation, and client compliance and procedure manuals, and will draw on his experience in his former role as assistant vice president and senior counsel.
Weston is responsible for investment advisor state, SEC registration and compliance consulting. She also manages day-to-day requirements and requests from RIA compliance partners. Before coming to Regulatory Compliance, she was a senior manager of RIA compliance, and oversaw compliance and marketing support of corporate and independent RIAs.
Moreshead, who has spent much of his time since his arrival working with new registrants and SEC/state transitions for midsized firms, says that it has been an educational process for many—executives and compliance staff at client firms are learning what is required. He adds that for many who have never registered before, there is an initial "fear factor" that he works to alleviate. He adds that once the transition period to state registrations is over, there will be "a lot of education."
"One of the common misconceptions," says Moreshead, "is that compliance is black and white, cut and dried." Instead, he says, consultants need to learn about their clients and "tailor a compliance program to fit their business. … It needs to fit their business model: the types of clients they have, the kind of business, how they make money, what their risks are, how large they are, basically how they operate. Each management firm is different; how they structure their compliance program needs to be different."
Weston agrees. Prior experience has taught her, she says, that many RIAs would purchase a compliance package without really realizing what it contained. "It made their firm compliant, but almost overly so," she explains, "because in [the package's] policies and procedures, it would discuss almost every one even if it didn't apply to the firm. The firm may have overstated its responsibilities."
Something she is looking forward to, she says, is making compliance more customizable for firms, so that they get exactly what they need. Regulatory Compliance's tier service, she says, will be developed so that it is more customizable—and she is also looking forward to working with firms to make sure they understand what they are buying and what their responsibilities are.

Bill's flood of ideas
BILL Mitchell and Gus Nevin were making themselves comfortable and at home on Monday as floodwater surrounded them.
With close to two metres of water underneath them and no power at their disposal the pair set up camp on the second storey veranda of Billy's Hotel in Mary St.
Food and beverages were a good 100m swim away, so with the help of some ingenious friends on dry land they rigged up a pulley system to connect them to James Nash arcade.
Billy's Hotel owner Lesley Mitchell said KFC, ice, cigarettes and "all the necessities" went across on the pulley to her son Billy.
"They say necessity is the mother of invention."
Lesley said she was surprised at how quickly the floodwater rose and was relieved they started clearing out the hotel and pulling carpets up on Sunday morning.
"What do you do? At least it's not a life."

America's Dwindling Economic Freedom
Regulation, taxes and debt knock the U.S. out of the world's top 10.
World economic freedom has reached record levels, according to the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom, released Tuesday by the Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal. But after seven straight years of decline, the U.S. has dropped out of the top 10 most economically free countries.
For 20 years, the index has measured a nation's commitment to free enterprise on a scale of 0 to 100 by evaluating 10 categories, including fiscal soundness, government size and property rights. These commitments have...

Born: November 5, 1925, Ostrog, Poland
Lisa was born to a Jewish family in the small city of Ostrog in southeastern Poland. Her parents operated a grocery out of their residence; the front half of the house was a store and the rear half was their home. Ostrog was an important center of Jewish religious learning in Poland, and by 1933 Jews made up almost two-thirds of the city's total population.
1933-39: My family was religious and we regularly attended services. I studied at a Polish school until the Soviets arrived in September 1939, at which time I briefly attended a Soviet school. But Soviet rule didn't alter our lives much.
1940-44: Suddenly everything changed. The Germans invaded Soviet-controlled Poland in June 1941 and reached Ostrog in July. They quickly set up a ghetto and organized the local Jews into work brigades. We realized by late 1942 that many of these groups were not returning from their work sites. We searched for a hiding place. A poor farm woman agreed to hide our family of five in an underground potato cellar--there was no room to stand and we could breathe only through a hole covered by pumpkins. We remained there for 16 months.
Lisa was liberated when the Soviet army freed eastern Poland in 1944. After living in displaced persons camps in Germany, Lisa emigrated to the United States in 1949.

Sigma DP2 Merrill Review
The Sigma DP2 Merrill is a slow, cumbersome, rather unrefined and expensive compact camera that's really only suited to static or slow-moving subjects. Despite all those major misgivings, the images that it produces thanks to the combination of the 30mm fixed lens and the intriguing Foveon X3 sensor are simply outstanding, by far the best images that we've seen from a humble compact camera and even rivaling a DSLR with an equivalent prime lens. The DP2 Merrill may not be the most lovable camera around, but it certainly takes great pictures.
Image quality is the DP2 Merrill's star turn, indeed the principal reason to put up with its numerous other shortcomings. The Foveon X3 sensor, be it 46 megapixel or 15 megapixels, and the prime 30mm lens deliver stunningly sharp, high-resolution images that are a joy to behold. Chromatic aberrations like purple and green-fringing are simply non-existent on the DP2 Merrill, testament to the excellent prime lens, which is also the reason for the almost complete lack of pincushion or barrel distortion, and the fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 is very welcome.
£799 / $999 suddenly starts to look like a bargain if you favour a slower, methodical approach to your photography. The Sigma DP2 Merrill is not a very good camera, but it is an excellent image-making device, so if you can put up with its many foibles and it suits your main subject matter, then we can certainly recommend the Sigma DP2 Merrill and its fantastic image quality.

Scanlon: Patriots dropped the ball by letting Wes Welker walk
Hello, Danny Amendola. Good-bye, Wes Welker.
Welker is gone, Patriots fans. Talk show callers flooded the airwaves when the news broke Wednesday afternoon that the free-agent wide receiver had agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with the Denver Broncos.
Yeah, the Broncos. That team with Peyton Manning and likely New England's top rival in the AFC over the next couple of years.
The callers to Boston's two sports radio stations were irate. Sports talk show callers are normally as rational as Charles Manson. In this case, however, I couldn't agree more.
The Patriots are deservedly being bashed. Welker didn't sign for four years. Given his age (31), that would have been too long. He didn't sign for $12 million a year. That would have been too pricey.
But two years at $6 million a year for the best slot receiver in football? That's a bargain -- and the fact that the Patriots let Welker head west for that price is an embarrassment.
Hours later, it was reported that Amendola, a fomer St. Louis Rams wide receiver, had agreed to a five-year deal with the Pats worth $31 million.
Welker is durable and productive. Amendola, 27, is brittle and relatively unproductive.
Welker was the epitome of a good soldier during his six seasons as a Patriot. Played hurt. Came back months early from a devastating knee injury. Went over the middle without reservation despite being the smallest guy on the field.
And he kept getting back up after taking dozens of bone-crunching hits. Oh, and Bill Belichick loves players with versatility and guys who put the team above themselves.
Welker was the ultimate team guy. When the Patriots needed him to return punts, did he say no? When's the last time you saw Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson return a punt and risk serious injury? No, I missed it, too.
By letting Welker walk -- and that's exactly what they've done, they've had years to put together a multi-year contract -- the Patriots are losing the best slot receiver on the planet, a durable player who rarely misses plays, never mind games, and one of the top punt returners in the NFL.
All over a couple of million bucks. I would have loved to have seen Tom Brady's face Wednesday afternoon when he heard his good buddy was joining Manning and the Broncos.
Brady always says the right things. He's the ultimate professional. But it would have been priceless to see his real reaction, not the one for the cameras. A couple of weeks ago Brady took a team-friendly deal to put the Patriots in better position to contend for a fourth Super Bowl title.
Brady was being loyal. What did he receive for that loyalty from Bob Kraft and Belichick?
A date hasn't been announced, but the Broncos will play the Patriots next season in Foxboro. It's going to be laughable to see the Patriots try to cover Welker. Who will draw the assignment?
Ras-I Dowling? That's funny. Put Welker down for 12 catches for 142 yards and a touchdown. Put it this way, it's late in the game, and the Patriots need a stop. It's third-and-8 and Manning drops back to pass. The fans at Gillette Stadium rise to their feet.
Manning surveys the field. He uncorks a pass in Welker's direction ... and Welker hauls it in, makes a player miss, and moves the chains.
It's going to happen. Time after time after time.
As for the Patriots, the Belichick-can-do-no-wrong crowd will kick Welker now that he's gone. They'll talk about his drops. They'll talk about how the Pats never won the Super Bowl with No. 83 in uniform.
Let's see what they say after they watch Patriots defensive backs chase him around all day.
For six glorious years, Welker gave everything he had to the Patriots. He produced on the field like a dream. Off the field, he never made negative headlines.
On Wednesday, the Patriots lost one of their all-time great players and undoubtedly pissed off their franchise quarterback.
They then added Amendola. But it was still a dark day in Patriots Nation.

It's an old chestnut among comic book fans that the San Diego Comic-Con has paradoxically ceased to be about comics. Hollywood juggernauts like Twilight, Avatar, and The Avengers have eclipsed the funny books in years past, leading some comic fans to grouse that they've become strangers at their own party.
This isn't exactly a fair criticism — throngs of famous and upcoming comic creators will descend upon San Diego next Wednesday — but it's undeniable that movies have bogarted the buzz at Comic-Con as of late. Luckily for those comic fans who feel like they've been exiled to the moldy corners of SDCC's proverbial longbox, there are some early signs that comic books could wrest the limelight away from film.
Let's be honest, Comic-Con 2010 was a dud year for comic book news. Again, this isn't a knock on the caliber of the talent who attended (one my favorite memories from last year was working and casually listening to the Berkeley Breathed panel, only to have the Bloom County cartoonist bust out some awesomely deranged cartoons Bill Watterson used to send him). And yes, movies based on comics like Thor, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, and The Walking Dead got convention-goers hot and bothered, but moving picture was still the belle of the ball.
It didn't help that no comic announcement could compete with the Tinseltown orgy going down in Hall H. For example, those hoping that Marvel would announce reprints of Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore's runs on Marvelman/Miracleman went home disappointed.
But comic books' off year was nothing compared to the tumble that some of SDCC 2010's biggest films experienced post-Con. Films like Tron Legacy and Green Lantern tantalized conventionauts but eventually tripped up critically and financially. Even 2010's critical darling Scott Pilgrim saw its fuzzy post-Con glow (and promise of a boffo box office) evaporate somewhere around the Gaslamp Quarter.
So what movies are on deck this year? Do-no-wrong franchises like The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel are currently filming and not attending (and Steel director Zack Snyder may be a little leery of a Con appearance after the drubbing Sucker Punch received). The Avengers, which is also presently in production, doesn't have a Hall H panel but instead has some shadowy promotion planned.
Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola are coming, but the former's dropping by to assuage fans that his CG adaptation of a Belgian boy adventurer isn't The Polar Express redux, whereas the latter director — in what's sure to be one of Comic-Con's stranger panels — is bringing Baltimore lo-fi noise master Dan Deacon (the "Drinking Out Of Cups" dude) to perform some songs from his new horror movie Twixt. Yes, there's Twilight and The Amazing Spider-Man, but nothing like the orgiastic blurt of Thor-Captain-America-Green Lantern-Harry-Potter-Avengers-Cowboys-and-Aliens that was Comic Con 2010's Saturday.
My colleague Charlie Jane Anders has pointed out that TV shows like Doctor Who and Game of Thrones will be SDCC 2011's big winners. After learning from the doldrums of 2010, comics too are poised to bring the brouhaha in 2011. Here are some indicators:
Event Comics: Last year saw the Big Two comic publishers in the middle of fuzzily defined initiatives (Brightest Day for DC and Heroic Age for Marvel) that focused on a loose web of side plots. This year, Comic-Con falls smack dab in the middle of the Big Two's summer mega-events, DC's Flashpoint and Marvel's Fear Itself, which do boffo sales and are the agenda setters for each publisher's superhero line. Furthermore, Marvel's revamping their X-Men line with the miniseries Schism. These consequence-laden miniseries could do a lot to pique fan interest.
The DC Overhaul: As many of you know, DC Comics is drastically relaunching their entire superhero line come September. Consequently, the publisher's hosting a panel every day devoted this to overhaul. This move isn't without its detractors — heck, some folks have decided to protest the superheroes' new costumes. San Diego could be a litmus test to see how fans take to these new changes, and some controversy could allow comics coverage to rise above the din.
Better Real Estate: This year, Frank Miller and Joss Whedon are promoting comics in the Indigo Ballroom, a space where shows like Archer, Community, and The Venture Bros. are presenting throughout the week. Miller's there for his "Not Batman versus Not Osama bin Laden" book Holy Terror, and Whedon's talking up Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 for Dark Horse Comics. (Also, Stan Lee's promoting some project alongside Japanese heavy metal artist Yoshiki in the Indigo Ballroom, which could be more befuddling than that the Coppola/Deacon panel.)
Tr!ckster: Some folks within the comic industry (presumably) got tired of being overshadowed at their own fete and started Tr!ckster, a bar/gallery/pop-up shop that showcases the work of the gobsmacking amount of talent on hand. It's free to attend, and a rival show right across the street from Comic-Con has the potential to drum up some underdog buzz.
Indeed, the strait between the Scylla of Twilight on Thursday and the Charybids of Glee on Sunday will be a bit wider for comic publishers to navigate in 2011. Maybe they'll get around to announcing those goddamn Marvelman trades this year. One can only hope.

The shanzhai of China are a tech trend to keep an eye on. Typically dismissed by popular press as simply the "copycat barons from China", I think they may have something in common with Hewlett and Packard or Jobs and Wozniak back when they were working out of garages. I've heard quite a few stories about the shanzhai while on my most recent trip to China, some of which I will share here.

text: We are proud to present our Female 2019 National Challenge Winner, Sara Schroeck! 02/08/2020 Sara Schroeck is a Farrell's member at Farrell's Andover in Andover, Minnesota. Sara's life story is truly one of transformation and we are proud to highlight her inspirational journey with you. But don't take it from us – check out Sara's story below, because, in her own words, she's just getting started! Hitting Rock Bottom Ten years ago, I would have described myself as having achieved my ultimate physical goals: I was running half marathons, duathlons, strength training with a personal trainer, and I felt strong and proud of myself. I thought, "This is it; I am never going to be fat again!" But deep down, there was always something "not quite right." And just like many times before, I fell off the wagon, gained back the weight – and then some. I asked myself, "Why does this keep happening to me? Fast forward five years, to the summer of 2015, I hit rock bottom. It wasn't an exact moment or event; it was the gradual, final acceptance that I needed help. I was suffering from eating disorders – food compulsion, overeating, binging, and body image distortion – that were affecting my life and my relationships. It was no longer about how I looked physically. It was about facing the problem head-on: the dysfunctional relationship I had with food, and "ED," the nickname for my eating disorder, was controlling and destroying my life. I had to do something to save myself and my marriage and be a better mom to our son. I completed a year-long outpatient therapy at Emily's Program, and then entered the maintenance phase of recovery and began to feel hopeful again about my life. As with most addictions, there were setbacks. I tried to learn from each one, understanding it was a part of recovery, practicing mindfulness, and being aware of "ED" to avoid it taking over the life I had worked so hard to regain. Over the next few years, I continued to focus on mindful eating. Cognitively, I was making food choices that fueled my body and were driven by me, not "ED." With healthier food choices, I lost a few pounds. Very slowly, I began to add small physical activities back into my life. At the time, mindful eating was all I was ready to focus on. Taking Back Control of My Life In April of 2018, I began to feel like I was still missing out on life. Even though I continued to be successful in my eating disorders recovery, I wasn't living life to its fullest, and slowly life was passing me by. I was still considered morbidly obese. I was 42 years old, and my body felt tired and sore from carrying the weight around all these years. Our son was almost five, and I wanted more from my marriage. I suddenly began to feel like I had to do something before it was all lost. I knew I had to find a way to take control of my life again before life passed me by, as I did with my eating disorders. Being morbidly obese doesn't just mean being "fat." As many know, it affects your spirit, your soul, your relationships, and your world. After being a nurse for 20 years, I encountered many times how precious life is. And yet, I was still taking advantage of my own life and not living it to its fullest potential. It was my time to take the next step. The life I was living was no longer acceptable to me. I wanted to make a change for me. It was time. I heard about Farrell's a few months prior, but it wasn't until my childhood friend, Anna S., shared her amazing physical and mental successes with the Farrell's 10-Week Challenge on Facebook. After discussing it with my husband, I decided to join Farrell's Andover gym. Besides being motivated by Anna's successes, I'd always loved lifting weights and kickboxing was in my blood – my Grandpa was a boxer! And I needed some "extreme" so Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping seemed like the perfect fit! My Farrell's Journey Begins I committed to the 10-Week Challenge and joined the 5 AM workout class. At the time, my biggest fear was the early-morning alarm – I had never been a morning person! But the gym owner, Cindi N., and my coaches assured me, "Just get yourself in the door, and we will help you take care of the rest!" And they did. I quickly felt their commitment and investment in me and my journey. It was very hard for me to define goals for my 10 Week Challenge. I didn't believe in myself enough to know what I could achieve. But, I knew I wanted to lose weight and feel good again. So, I committed to the Farrell's program and Living Life at Level 10. And I discovered my Level 10 was much higher than I thought! I realized that what you give, you get back. At first, there were some fears of "ED" creeping back in and trying to control my healthy habits, but Farrell's taught me that I'm stronger. During times when I began to doubt myself, my Farrell's family was there to reassure me. My fears diminished, and I felt stronger – both physically and emotionally. My clothes were fitting looser, and I was becoming a happier person! A few weeks in, I became a permanent Farrell's member. The decision was easy! I was having fun, and I was seeing my mind, body and soul transform. And others around me noticed. The discovery of my authentic self was just beginning. I finally felt my life was coming full circle. My journey had brought me to the right place, the right people, and the right plan: Farrell's. At the end of my 10-Week Challenge, I placed second runner-up! My results were beyond my expectations. I accomplished more physically and mentally than I had thought possible in those fast, fun ten weeks. So why not accept the one-year $10,000 National Challenge?! I told myself, "Bring it on!" Bring on the National Challenge! Over the next several months, I focused on hitting my Level 10 every workout. I kept telling myself, "You can do more." I punched harder, lifted heavier, and did more repetitions. I participated in fun gym challenges with my fellow members. I coached new members. And I set my mind to accomplishing more. Why? Because I can. My impossibles were becoming my possibles. I had no excuses. I ran miles faster than ever before. I lifted heavier and heavier weights, more and more reps. I completed over 10,000 MEPS in a month, and I focused on proper form every workout. I strengthened my eating disorder recovery by understanding that food is fuel for my body. I continued to practice mindful eating and embracing foods, giving my body and soul what it needed. And, I found balance by occasionally indulging. The scale and my clothes were winning too. The light within me felt strong and bright. I realized I had the potential to accomplish the National Challenge. What felt impossible at the beginning of my journey, suddenly seemed possible. Life Throws a Curveball Halfway through the National Challenge, life threw a bit of a curveball. I had to have a necessary procedure that required me to slow down and recover for several weeks. At first, I felt a bit of panic. But then, I reminded myself that this is life. I wasn't accepting it as a roadblock. Instead, I had to redefine how I was going to achieve my Level 10 other ways. I focused on my nutrition and low-impact activities. It taught me to think outside the box. As a result, I was resilient in my recovery and successful in staying committed to my goals! As the end of the National Challenge approached, I established some big goals for myself. I thought about how I was going to finish as strong as possible. I asked myself, "How had I been successful in the past? The Farrell's way!" No complicated programs, no pills or shakes, no other gym memberships, no other nutritional coach. Farrell's is simple! From Impossible to Possible One year ago, I wore a size 24 pants and XXL shirts. Today I shop for size 4-6 and size small! I haven't worn short-shorts since my twenties – but I am now! I'm excited to wear a bikini this summer for the first time since high school. Instead of covering up my once flabby arms, I am proud to flex and show off my muscles! To date, I have lost a total of 60 inches, 89.5 pounds of body fat, 31.7% body fat, increased my push-ups by 51, increased my sit-ups by 43, and shaved off over seven minutes on my mile run. I went to the beach without a cover-up. I worked out on the beach in Cabo with fellow Farrell's members. I completed a 5k Rugged Maniac Race. I even tried a dance class! And I conquered one of my greatest fears, heights, by indoor rock climbing with friends! All things, once unimaginable, now possible. For many years, anytime I tried to lose weight, my goal was always to be 175 pounds. Why 175 pounds? I have no idea! It was even the weight on my driver's license. It was the only "goal" I ever had. During my National Challenge journey, I hit that "always" goal. Once again, I proved to myself that the impossible had become my possible. As I reflect on old pictures of myself – beyond the heavy, tired body – I see my eyes. They appear hollow, sad, weak, and desperate. Almost unrecognizable to me now. Who was that person? Now I see a healthier, stronger, confident, beast of a person. Now, when I first look at current pictures of me, I notice my eyes – they look so clear to me and full of happiness. Now, I see my authentic self. That is my biggest, proudest accomplishment. My husband – my biggest cheerleader, coach, cook, and supporter through this – also sees it. He tells me he sees the woman he knew and believed was there all along, hidden under all those layers. He believed in me more than anyone else and never gave up on me. My Farrell's journey has solidified my eating disorder recovery. I can proclaim confidently, with great strength, perseverance, and integrity, I have discovered who I am meant to be! I am living life the way I should, at my Level 10. I am confident and proud of my physical abilities and still getting used to the "new me." But more importantly, I am grounded in my authentic self. I am grateful for every day. My journey brings me to the closure of the National Challenge, but I'm not done. My best is yet to come! And that includes my Farrell's family and others who I can inspire. I look forward to my new goals of becoming a Farrell's instructor, coaching a 10-Week Challenge, competing in duathlons, and possibly weight lifting competitions. I will continue to live the Farrell's way and embrace the unknown. Farrell's has taught me if something scares you, it's probably something you should try! But most of all, if my story can influence, inspire, and support others on their own journeys to self-discovery, then I am truly the biggest winner. Thank you, Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping, for saving my life and peeling back the layers to the authentic ME! Back to Blog

Last visit home for ESA's comet chaser
ESA's Rosetta comet chaser will swing by Earth on 13 November to pick up orbital energy and begin the final leg of its 10-year journey to the outer Solar System. Several observations of the Earth–Moon system are planned before the spacecraft heads out to study comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
This will be the third Earth swingby, the last of Rosetta's four planetary gravity assists. Closest approach to Earth is expected at 08:45 CET. The swingby will provide exactly the boost Rosetta needs to continue into the outer Solar System. The craft is scheduled for a close encounter with asteroid 21 Lutetia in July next year.
Rosetta is expected to arrive at its final destination in May 2014. There, it will release the Philae lander for in-situ studies on the surface. The spacecraft will then escort the comet on its journey toward the Sun, studying it closely for up to two years.
As it closes in on Earth next month, Rosetta will have travelled almost 4500 million km since launch. It will speed past Earth at 13.3 km/s, passing above the Indian Ocean at 109°E, 8°S, just south of the Indonesian island of Java. The gravity-assist will increase the spacecraft's speed by 3.6 km/s with respect to the Sun.
Instruments in action
While the swingby is critical for achieving the velocity required to reach its ultimate destination, the close encounter will also be used to study the Earth–Moon system from Rosetta's unique perspective.
Several instruments that usually hibernate during the long trek will be turned on in the week before the swingby.
Follow the swingby live
The Rosetta Blog will be updated regularly for this final planetary swingby. Follow crucial events live via the blog and the dedicated ESA Rosetta mission website.
Critical swingby events
Closest approach is scheduled for 08:45 CET on 13 November, but mission operators will perform a number of critical actions before and after the swingby to ensure that Rosetta is on the right trajectory.
One of the most important will be a trajectory correction manoeuvre (TCM), scheduled for 22 October at 14:30 CET. Results of this manoeuvre will be analysed to determine whether additional TCMs are required to achieve the correct approach trajectory.

Other first team picks were Edon seniors Alicia Sumner and Madison Muehlfeld; Edon juniors Jennifer Van Vleet and Calli Imm; Hilltop sophomore Sarah Mocherman; North Central senior Morgan Bunting; North Central freshman Shaylee Oyer; Pettisville senior Lauren Roth and Pettisville junior Kayla King.

Two Fayette runners and a jumper will advance to Friday's regional track and field competition at Tiffin.
Senior Erica Goeltzenleuchter kept her string of district successes going by qualifying for a fourth consecutive trip to the regional meet.
Last year she placed second at the district run; this year she was third, but with a much faster time.
Goeltzenleuchter clipped 15 seconds off her time from last year, but with stiffer competition this time from a pair of Liberty Center girls, the faster time still dropped her one notch. Her 12:29.7 led a pack of runners following the two leaders.
Liberty Center's Chelsea Knapp won the race at 9:50.
"Erica didn't run well early and slipped to fifth place for a while," said coach Ryan Colegrove. "She picked it up and pulled away."
The senior said she wasn't feeling well, Colegrove said, but she fought through it and finished well.
Goeltzenleuchter also ran a leg of the 3200-meter relay with Alexa Kessler, Melani Seiler and Elisha Hartman. The girls finished sixth overall, but they clipped another second off their school record with a time of 10:38.3. Liberty Center set a meet record at 9:53.
Junior Darrell Randall made the cut again this year with a fourth-place finish in the 3200-meter run, tying his best from a year ago at 10:17. Delta's Elliott Oberneder won the race at 9:57.
Randall suffered from cramping, Coach Colegrove said, and was hurting after the race.
Fayette's other qualifier is freshman Dustin Lantz who cleared 5-10 in the high jump. He tied an Edgerton jumper, but took third due to the number of attempts. The winner was Ayersville's Dallas Smith at 6-4.
"Dusty's best before the BBC meet was 5-6, then he went 5-8 at BBC and 5-10 at districts," Colegrove said.
He's hoping for more of the same from the freshman with a 6-0 leap Friday.
Hartman, a senior, bettered her 800-meter career best by a fraction of a second with a fifth-place finish at 2:29.5. Seiler, a freshman, took ninth at 2:35, her best of the season. Archbold's Trisha King won the race at 2:22.
Olivia Molina placed 10th in the 1600-meter run at 6:12 and Kessler took 11th in the 400-meter run at 1:09.
Other Fayette athletes competing were Amanda Gilmore, Abby Jaramillo, Ashtyn Baker, Jonathan Boesger and Jacob Marley in throwing events; Lantz and Logan Franks in the long jump; Franks and Andy Karathanasis in the 100-meter dash; Hunter Colegrove in the 800-meter run; Sarah Kovar, Nathan Seiler, and Tim Stoltzfus in the 1600-meter run; Karathanasis and Lantz in the 200-meter dash; and Stoltzfus in the 3200-meter run.
Liberty Center won the team title for the girls Saturday at Ayersville, followed by Pettisville. Archbold was tops in the boys competition.
In addition to the girls 3200 relay, meet records were set in the boys 800-meter relay (Archbold, 1:30.7); the boys 400-meter relay (Tinora, :43.5); and the boys 300-meter hurdles (Tinora, :39.26).
MORENCI SOFTBALL: Morenci's softball squad won a pair of games from Whitmore Lake last Wednesday, then fell 9-0 to Summerfield Monday in an error-filled contest.
Tia Tompkins fired a no-hitter in the Bulldogs' five-inning 11-0 win against at home Wednesday against Whitmore Lake. She walked two batters and struck out four.
In the first inning, Chanler McCaskey reached base on an error, followed by a couple of big hits.
Matea Garcia sent the ball to center field, then Meghan Smith came up to blast her first home run of the season—a three-RBI over-the-fence smash.
With the bases loaded in the second inning, Tompkins belted a two-RBI double, followed by Hannah Jeffers' RBI-single.
Tompkins scored in the fourth inning on Michaela Merillat's base hit. Merillat later scored on a wild pitch.
Tompkins threw a one-hitter in the 17-3 nightcap as the Bulldogs put eight runs on the scoreboard in the opening inning.
"We benefitted from several Whitmore Lake errors," coach Kay Johnson said, "but also continued to hit the ball solidly."
Tompkins fanned six batters and walked six.
Chelsea and Tia Tompkins finished with two hits each. Smith had a double and a triple and finished the day with six RBIs.
SUMMERFIELD—It was Morenci's turns to commit errors when Summerfield visited Monday. The Bulldogs provided little resistance to a solid Summerfield team, Coach Johnson said.
Tia Tompkins had the only hit for Morenci, a double down the left line in the fourth inning.
Tompkins pitched the first three innings and Merillat handled the final four.
Johnson described the game as Morenci's weakest defensive showing of the season with eight errors. Three in the first inning led to two Summerfield runs. The visitors added two more runs in the second aided by another Morenci error.
In the third inning, three walks and two fielding errors led to five runs.
MORENCI TRACK: Morenci will send three individuals and a relay team to compete in six events at Michigan's Div. IV track and field meet June 5 in Grand Rapids.
Junior Phoenix Duncan won the high jump at 5-1 to become what coach Brad Brown described as the unhappiest regional champion.
Duncan cleared 5-5 at last year's regional meet and knows she has to do better to place high in the state competition.
With an early-season injury, Duncan has competed in only six meets this season.
Duncan also returns to the state meet in the long jump with a fourth-place finish. Her 15-5.5 met the state qualifying mark, although it falls a short of her effort a year ago. The winning jump was made by Pittsford's Elainee Poling at 16-05.
Freshman Brooke Bovee is also a double qualifier, placing second in both hurdle events.
A new rivalry was established in the 100-meter low hurdles. Chantel Davenport of Athens is also a freshman. Bovee came in at :16.4, right beside Davenport.
"It was a photo finish," Brown said. "Brooke's foot hit first after the last hurdle, but she stumbled slightly and that was enough to make the difference."
At the recent Litchfield meet, Davenport won by a much larger margin.
Bovee led for most of the 300-meter event, but was passed by Reading senior Shawna Smith after the final hurdle. Bovee ran a :47.7, her best of the season.
"Brooke went over the last hurdle a little high," Brown said, but came through with a time that was only 0.4 seconds off the school record.
Junior Max Gautz turned in a career-best long jump at 19-10.25. He placed fourth, but made the state qualifying distance. The top jump of 20-9.75 was made by Ricky Richardson of Homer.
Morenci's boys 800-meter relay team placed fourth overall at 1:35.4—their best of the season—and met the qualifying standard. Team members are Dustin Roller, Simon Jeffers, Brett Bovee and Chas Frey. The winners from Sand Creek ran a 1:34.3.
Other Bulldogs earning points were Garret Mohr in the discus (3rd, 125-6); Roller in the high jump (7th, 5-7); the 3200-meter relay team (7th, 9:11, with Tyler Guelde, Jake Spaulding, Luke Spaulding and Micah Gillen); Gautz in the 110-meter hurdles (6th, :17.7); Guelde in the 1600-meter run (7th, 4:50); the 400-meter relay team (5th, :47.3, with Gautz, Cody Graham, Roller and Bovee); Luke Spaulding in the 3200-meter run (6th, 10:49); and the 1600-meter relay team (fifth, 3:40, with Jeffers, Roller, Bovee and Frey).
The 1600 team was an easy winner in a slow heat with no close competition, Brown said.
Other Morenci competitors were Tequoia Jarrell in the long jump, 100-meter and 200-meter; Mercedez McCaskey and Taylor Baugh in the 1600-meter and 3200-meter; McCaskey in the 800-meter; and the girls 1600-mete relay;
Nick Erbskorn in the discus; Jordan Bach in the shot put; Jeffers in the high jump; Graham in the long jump; Frey in the 100-meter and 200-meter; Luke Spaulding in the 1600-meter; Logan Drummond in the 400-meter; Guelde and Gillen in the 800-meter; and Jake Spaulding in the 3200-meter.
Waldron will send three individuals and one relay team to the state.
Qualifying are the 3200-meter relay team (3rd, 8:27.5, Blake Fix, Camren Anderson, Luke Miller, Fletcher Masters); Masters in the 400-meter dash (2nd, :51.3); Katie Baker in the 100-meter hurdles (3rd, :16.9) and the 300-meter hurdles (4th, :49.3); and Taylor Price in the 400-meter dash (3rd, 1:03.1).

In this top-notch fourth novel in Burke's series featuring ex–Texas Ranger attorney Billy Bob Holland, Billy Bob has moved his family and practice to the pastoral city of Missoula, Mont., the setting of his last adventure (Bitterroot , 2001), only to discover that the psychopathic ex-biker/rodeo clown, Wyatt Dixon (who buried Billy Bob's private investigator wife, Temple, alive), is out of prison on a technicality and claiming to be a born-again Christian. Billy Bob befriends alcoholic Desert Storm hero Johnny American Horse, a sometime breeder of horses and eco-activist who—when not in the drunk tank—is carrying on a passionate affair with Amber Finley, the daughter of Romulus Finley, a vindictive and bigoted powerful U.S. senator. When Johnny is suspected of murdering the hit man who invaded his home as well as masterminding the burglary of Global Research (a high-tech agricultural lab), making off with its computer files, the action picks up quickly. Noted for quirky characters and intricate plots, Burke introduces demon-driven sheriff's deputy Darrel McComb—an ex–war hero and former mercenary pilot who flew cocaine for the contras—who has an erotic fixation on Amber. Factor in private security agency chief Greta Lundstrum, FBI agent Seth Masterson and Karsten Mabus, CEO of the company that owns Global Research, and the mayhem builds to a gripping, spine-tingling finale.

agriculture is very big business in some parts of the state, including my county. Produce needs to be picked. You either raise the pay of those working, which is also done, at least one farm by me pays $15/hour, with benefits, or you bring in illegals and provide housing. Or, more usual, the government section 8 program, or migrant farm worker housing, subsidises the housing. But, this is off track for this thread. This is a very large state, in general, the agricultural counties are geographically removed from the industrial counties, so 2 way different housing markets. However, these barriers are being removed by enhanced commuting transportation. So then the non-ag industry tied housing area is going to expand. We will lose farmland ( that exports fruit, nuts and produce to everyone outside the state) and we will have some amazing political water wars
So in your thinking, assuming a network of bullet trains or similarly efficient transportation, you'd have silicon valley and the surrounding counties would become bedroom communities?To a smaller degree that happens up here. When I was a little kid there was a ton more agriculture in just 10 miles outside the metro area. Now aside from smaller boutique/hobby farms you have to drive an hour or more.
You already have to go more than 1 hour drive from Silicon Valley to hit major ag. People commute 1-2 hours each direction, ones with low salaries that want a single family home. So, I am no saying it is desirable, I think it is NOT desireable. But, from teh articels I linked to, and others, it does seem to be what business and government is going towards as a solution.....The bullet train will make a 40 minute train ride out of what is now a 3hour with no traffic drive. So, this would be a much bigger "footprint" than what is out by you with the "light rail" trains. The bullet train is much faster, so cover a large distance in that 40 minutes, look at the map I linked to
Last year we hired this kid fresh out of college and he worked in our downtown SF office. He was paying $3500/month for a STUDIO apartment to be within walking distance.
College did not do much to educate him. While a good job is great...if you are a slave to wages to support your living space ,it is a life wasted.My 2100 foot home cost me less than 56K and it was not unique as the average home in my neighborhood is 70K and often less. If it is all you can do to simply support a home, then you should MOVE.
Folks, the thread is drifting a lot from the original post.
the other question of course in any tax deduction is fairness appropriatness. So, is it right that we give a tax write-off to this group of people ? Can we afford this ? Has it outlived its usefulness, and is now just another piece that helps fuel absurd houging bubble/speculation and helps make the market that much less affordable ?
Is it fair that marginal tax rates increase as one's earnings increase? If so, how high should the top bracket be? Deductions for mortgage interest, and property and state taxes help bring those high rates down a notch, although the AMT usually kicks in and still extracts an extra pound of flesh. How much of anyone's income does .gov have a right to?

The .gov wants more property tax base, so they have an incentive to encourage home ownership. So in a weird way, the FED .gov gives us a deduction, so we are more motivated to buy a home, and fund our LOCAL .gov.Why can't the FED just give money to the LOCAL directly???
Because they can't GIVE what they don't first TAKE MORE of......
This gets back to topic on this post, an area like this is the people who do use the income tax deduction as they are paying ALOT of interest on a mortgage, because housing prices are a very large part of peoples pay. 50% of pay to rent/mortgage is on the low end, I think an awful lot are paying way more, and then are at the produce distribution weekly, etc...
I wonder if people in other states, especially on the east coast, understand how truly massive California is. And as I said, it's not like you can just drop a city in an unused area. The reason it's still unused is because it's very likely completely unusable.
What they have to lose is the character and liveablity, such as it is, of what they have now ! San francisco is Sanfrancisco and not New York or LA due to its historic neighborhoods, etc...
