When it comes to custom stone countertops, context can be everything. We might love that slab of granite or quartz we see in the showroom, but how will it look in our actual kitchen or bathroom? Does it fit with the rest of the decor style in our home? Will it work with the cabinets and backsplash and natural lighting?
Fortunately, Precision Stone Design takes all the guess work out of the process with their web-based visualizer tools, available for both iPhone and iPad. Based in Elk Grove Village, Precision Stone Design is Chicagoland's premier, one stop shop for custom stone countertops — offering everything from in-house inventory to custom design and fabrication to installation — and these new tools allow clients to further envision the bespoke stone masterpieces for their dream kitchen, bathroom, or living room before a single slab is cut.
Kitchen Visualizer
As any family will attest, a lot of quality time is spent in the kitchen. So why not make it the most stylish space in your home? With the Kitchen Visualizer you'll be able to envision the custom stonework and flow throughout your new kitchen. Thousands of design combinations are available, allowing you to select from a variety of cabinet colors, backsplash options, countertops, and flooring.
Bathroom Visualizer
Similar to the Virtual Kitchen Designer, the Bathroom Visualizer helps you envision the bathroom you desire. Select from two different bathroom designs, cabinet colors, backsplashes, countertops, flooring, and shower surrounds. You'll also be able to play with a variety of tiles, mosaics, and countertops to help you create the bathroom of your dreams.
Countertop Edge Visualizer
Having the right edge details is nearly as important as choosing the right stone for your living space, meaning you won't want to leave this step up to chance. Once you have selected the natural stone for your countertop, the next tough decision is to select the design of the profile edge. MSI's Countertop Edge Visualizer allows you to view 12 edges, with a link to dozens of more profile options. With this tool, you can see how the Bevel edge differs from the Triple Pencil, and the Classic Ogee – right on your computer's screen.
Stacked Stone Visualizer
Of course custom stone isn't limited to your kitchen and bathroom. Stacked stone ledger panels are ideal for accent walls, fireplace surrounds, and many exterior projects. By using the Stacked Stone Visualizer, users can choose from two interior scenes and a number of stacked stone panels. Rather than guessing what your renovated living room or rustic outdoor space will look like, use this tool to get a feel for how natural stone ledger panels can complement your design project.
Your Design Partners
Precision Stone Design gives individual care and superior design expertise to each of their clients, ensuring the highest quality custom stonework for your home. All inventory is available in-house to choose from, while a personalized project manager will use state-of-the-art technology to help you build a 3D rendering of your project. Once you've made your selections, your stone will be cut with their CNC Water-Jet and Bridge Saw, given edge details by The Tita, and then finally installed in your home (right down to the plumbing for a seamless experience).
By customizing per client needs and having full control over the entire production process, Precision Stone Design guarantees both a quality product and a prompt delivery timeline. The result? Happy clients who rave about Precision Stone Design's attention to detail, superior product, and unrivaled customer service. It's why Precision Stone Design has a 5 Star Rating on Facebook, a 4.5 Star Rating on Houzz and over 130 positive reviews on Google.

In this episode, we re-lived Connor's recent trip to Colorado. He found some gummy bears while he was there. It was an experience. We discussed the dangers of overly nice Canadian drivers. And the necessity of "friendship contracts." All while drinking beers from Madhouse, Decadent and Weldwerks.

RnB star, Capital FEMI returns with a new tune for 2014 on his
birthday April 1st.
The Don't Let Go star concluded recording of the new tune entitled
TONIGHT after several weeks of work with renowned rapper MI and
producer Victoriouz Icon.
Capital FEMI stressed that he had to go back to his drawing board to
record the tune.
"I had to take my time after the rotational airplay of my songs from
the debut album "The Year Of RnB" and I needed to surpass my feat,
thus, TONIGHT came in after many weeks of hardwork."
On his decision to work with MI, Femi said, "It has always been in
the pipeline even before I dropped my first album but because of our
busy schedules, I was unable to pull it through. But now, we have
found time, worked ourselves out and the result is purely TONIGHT."
TONIGHT is Capital FEMI's first single from his much expected sophomore album..

Let's start the day with a
re-post of a double-drabble I've written for comment_fic yesterday. I really love it when someone gives me a reason to write about Mr. Smith.
Title: Black&white photographies
Fandom: Jeremiah (TV)
Character: Mr. Smith
Rating: PG
Word Count: 200
Disclaimer: Of course, I don't own Jeremiah nor the character :( - I'm just borrowing them for a while
With trembling hands Smith put the old camera back onto the table. When he had found it this morning in the ruins, he hadn't expected that it would still work. He had taken it with him anyway.
It was a part of the old world, a happy and colourful one. The Big Death had changed everything, the adults were dead, the children were fighting a desperate battle for survival. And he ... he was God's messenger.
He should have known better. When God lead him to the camera there had to be a reason for it. He sighed and grabbed for the pictures. The halls in the mountain were almost empty, it was late in the evening. But Marcus would still be in his office.
The leader of Thunder Mountain took his duty seriously, he was responsible for almost 200 people who were living in the Mountain and on the farms nearby. Smith knew, his news could bring death and destruction for a lot of them.
He could only hope that Marcus this time would trust his words. For him, the pictures wouldn't be more than just blurred, black and white shadows. But God had shown Smith the truth behind.

We spent all of Week 19 doing VBS at our Home Church in NY, Victory Baptist Church. We were the Missionaries for the Week, telling the kids a little about Brazil and God's call to us for Brazil. Emily also helped out with the music, teaching the kids different songs every day. I was on standby to teach a class should there be overflow. I also helped out in the sound room, and helped out in the game time. It was a fun week, and the kids really seemed to have a good time. First thing Saturday morning Emily and I headed off for North Carolina, where we have our one (so far) meeting in the South. We had the opportunity to visit Pastor Brown and Vernon Forest Baptist Church. We had a great time with them, though it was a pretty busy weekend for them as well. The folks at the church were very welcoming and friendly. We had a great time with Pastor and his wife, their daughter and her husband, and their new granddaughter during lunch. We saw a few people at the church that we recognized or knew, and met many other folks. It was interesting to talk with Pastor Brown about the North and the South. He's a Yankee, hailing from Ohio where he served as Pastor for a number of years. He had some interesting observations about the differences he has encountered between the North and the South. Continue to keep Pastor Brown and his wife in Prayer as they are reaching out to the Winston-Salem/Thomasville area with the Gospel. They have a number of kids they minister through a bus ministry, and they really desire to be a light in the area of Winston God has placed them in.
While we are down here in North Carolina, we are visiting friends and family through the rest of the week. We will attend Wednesday Night services at our sending church, which we are really looking forward to. Then we head up to New York again this Saturday. Emily is even doing some of the driving on this trip. Anyway, though it is significantly hotter down here, we're glad to be back among friends in the South.

Enhance Teaching and Learning and Build Strong Schools within the Restorative Practice Framework
Learn the Framework upon which restorative practices is structured for creating a positive classroom climate in both elementary and secondary schools. You will be able to use this framework immediately following the one-day "Introduction to Restorative Practice Framework" training that you will receive as part of on-site training.
A Way of Thinking and Being: The Restorative Practice Framework provides a construct for acting restoratively within a classroom and school "community". It is very well suited to education in general and in a variety of special education settings. The aim of the framework is to focus on making connections, strengthening relationships and in repairing harm as a way of building community. It incorporates inclusive, integrated and proactive approaches where a major goal is the effective reintegration of students when addressing situations where harm has been done.
Utilizing a Socratic engagement style: The framework incorporates explicit practice; being firm and fair; the continuum of restorative practice; fair process; the restorative questions; a restorative practice checklist; and, a theoretical basis. By engaging in this framework, schools build on existing practices that already work; it is not meant to replace what is deemed effective but rather to enhance it. Schools embracing the Restorative Practice Framework report a safer, more connected environment with higher levels of student achievement as existing and new practices are framed through the restorative lens.
In this one-day interactive workshop, which usually runs from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, participants have an ongoing opportunity to reflect on their current practice and understand how the RP Framework provides a solid basis for teaching and learning.
This training day is meant as a pre-requisite for the "Effective Use of Circles" session, a second full day of training during which participants learn the value and process of circles — practical and effective tools for creating a positive climate in classrooms.
Other activities for schools may include:
- "Facilitating Restorative Conferences" training
- Continuing consultation
- Assemblies for students
- Parent workshops
For more information about our work with schools, call IIRP Canada at 416-571-8429 or email us today.

The awards are the perfect opportunity to push your curiosity and create the change you want to see in the world. You can enter the awards solo or in a team (of up to six), and can choose your own issue to tackle or work from one of our exciting briefs.
Example Briefs
Our awards scheme searches for exciting projects with a focus on social impact. You can enter anything you like, as long as the project fits into one of our Impact Themes. We also have some exciting briefs that give a starting point if you feel you need it, tackling some of the most relevant issues that our world faces today. This years deadlines have passed, but feel free to download the briefs for your own personal projects, or to start working early on an entry for the 2019 awards. Shortlisted projects are judged by a panel of industry experts based on your creative approach and the potential impact of your project.
Open Brief Background
If you have an issue that you are passionate about, that you believe could help change the world in a positive way you could enter it under our Open Brief. You could identify something that isn't working for you about the world around you and look for a solution. We're interested however big or small your ideas are. We are looking for solutions and provocations that will call people to action and can lead to genuine impact. Projects can be conceptual or have the potential to develop into real life-changing solutions. The themes you might wish to explore can be broad and varied. Past projects have included design solutions for food waste, humanitarian aid, education, water shortage, energy efficiency, inclusivity, campaigns & products against FGM, bullying, inequality, poverty, homelessness, child abuse, over-consumption, mental illness, urban living – to list just a few subject areas.
Open Brief Challenge
The Open Brief is your chance to create a project that deals with any issue you're passionate about solving. Identify something that isn't working in the world around you and look for a solution, however big or small. We're looking for solutions and provocations that have the potential to provoke action and have a genuine impact. Projects can be conceptual or have the potential to develop into real life-changing solutions. Past projects have included creative solutions for food waste, humanitarian aid, education, water shortage, energy efficiency, inclusivity, bullying, inequality, poverty, homelessness, child abuse, over-consumption, mental illness, urban living and much more.
Mental Health Background
Negative experiences happen in all of our lives: difficulties with work or finances, the breakdown of a relationship, overwhelming family responsibilities, or a significant setback for example. Mental health can affect anyone. There are many ways we can cope with mental illness: establishing and maintaining relationships, discussing our issues and taking action when possible, however there are stigmas surrounding mental health that we unfortunately need to tackle.
Mental Health Challenge
How can you use your creative skills to aid those with mental health issues? If your life or the life of those around you has been touched by mental health issues, then use these experiences as possible entry points into the brief and as a means of research to explore potential routes and solutions. The challenge really is boundless in however you want to approach it, all we ask is that the outcome is optimistic and empowering towards the audience. Let's open up and tackle this issue head on to create some real positive change in the world. Here are some useful links to start you off: Movember Onemindinstitute CentreforglobalmentalhealthMind.org.uk
Equality Background
Equality is a human right. Both men and women are entitled to live with dignity and with freedom from want and from fear. Whether this be gender equality as a precondition for advancing development and reducing poverty: empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of whole communities, improving the prospects for the next generation. Or more general human rights for minorities, those under threat of being suppressed or living in fear because of who they are or what they believe.
Equality Challenge
Can you think of a way to change current behaviours and inspire people to understand the value brought by treating everyone equally? You may simply want to raise awareness, or perhaps you can think of a way to actively change human behaviour and understanding. Here are some useful links to start you off: Global Goals Rightsinfo Cause2create Creativeequals
Refugee Crisis Background
This brief has been set in partnership with Help Refugees The most basic requirements for refugees to regain their independence are housing, language and employment. Without housing, people become destitute; without the ability to speak the local language, it is very difficult to get a job; without employment independence is almost impossible.
Refugee Crisis Challenge
How can we creatively support the empowerment of refugees in host countries, and improve their access to opportunities? Local language: classes can be expensive and restrictive in terms of the amount that you can study, when and where. What creative solutions could help with this? Employment: refugee unemployment in the UK is 50%, and many refugees are overqualified for the jobs they take. How can we find creative ways to increase people's chances of finding meaningful work quickly? Integration: how can we build bridges with local communities? Can you find ways to keep community at the heart of these proposals? Empowerment: Can you consider innovative ways for Help Refugees to raise more funds to allow us to do more for empowerment projects? *96p from every pound raised already goes straight to our projects on the ground.
Conscious Consumption Background
We can't continue to consume and buy 'stuff' at our current rate without serious consequences. 'The story of stuff' tells us why.
Conscious Consumption Challenge
The Conscious Consumption brief is an opportunity to create solutions to help re-direct our worlds trajectory towards self-destruction. This could explore themes on not just what we consume, but how and why. Where do the things we consume come from, and what are their impact e.g. environmental, psychological and/or societal. What methods could we use to design products that are sustainable and have a minimal or even positive ecological impact? And what would these products be? How could mindsets be shifted (especially in first world countries) away from misguided, and damaging purchasing habits? Why do we consume, and what are the often overlooked motivations for consumption – and are there ways we can nurture or redirect these energies? The solutions to these questions should aim to educate, inspire, excite and encourage new behaviours, so we can consciously consume.
- Creating materials/products that do not cause harm to us and our environment (e.g. cradle to cradle)
- Designing new systems (Donut and sharing economies are examples of this)
- How can we educate and inform people about their choices in a fun, exciting and positive way.

Jailhouse jeopardy: Guards often brutalize and neglect inmates in Harris County Jail, records show
First in a series: The Chronicle reviewed more than 1,000 jail disciplinary reports and found guards used excessive force against inmates or abused their authority over 120 times.
Norman Hicks, a retired butcher, had been in the Harris County Jail about 10 days when other inmates pleaded with jailers to have him transferred to the mental health unit.
Hicks, 72, had been placed in general population for violating probation in a family violence case even though intake workers determined he suffered from a combination of severe mental problems: bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The inmates worried Hicks might be killed by others he annoyed, according to a federal lawsuit filed by Hicks' children.
Instead, Hicks died after being punched by a jail guard involved in 11 previous use-of-force incidents. The guard hit Hicks with a closed fist, breaking bones in his face. He fell and hit his head, and the guard left him bleeding on the floor of an interview room. The Harris County medical examiner ruled the 2011 death a homicide.
What happened to Hicks in one of the nation's largest county correctional facilities underscored its most glaring weaknesses.
He did not receive the care he needed in what sheriff's officials describe as the county's largest de facto mental health institution.
He found himself trapped in a violent milieu riven by thousands of fights each year.
He was struck by a guard who failed to seek medical care or report the incident.
Over the past nine months, the Houston Chronicle has reviewed more than 1,000 disciplinary reports provided by the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Nearly half of those internal affairs investigations from 2010 through May 2015 resulted in discipline against jail staff who often brutalize inmates and attempt to cover up wrongdoing but rarely lose their jobs. Court records show jailers seldom faced criminal charges even in cases where they used excessive force.
"It was like an animal shelter," said Jamarcus Hill, who was jailed in 2013 as a 19-year-old on an auto theft charge. "You do anything - you get punished, you get pepper sprayed. You got to fight for your food, you even have to fight for your shoes."
In June 2009, the Justice Department concluded after its own yearlong investigation that inmates' constitutional protections had been violated by excessive violence and by substandard medical care that led to an "alarming" number of prisoner deaths. The Justice Department has taken no public action since then despite what records show are similar instances of unreported beatings, inmate deaths and medical neglect. Officials provided a letter indicating that the Civil Rights Division has an "ongoing law enforcement proceeding," but provided no specifics.
Adrian Garcia took over management of the jail in January 2009 as Harris County sheriff and promised reforms. He resigned in May to run for mayor of Houston. In a recent interview, he said that hundreds of disciplinary cases reviewed by the Chronicle resulted from his "commitment to transparency and accountability." He said he put systems in place that addressed Justice Department findings and notes that the average number of annual deaths dropped from about 16 per year from 2001-2006 to roughly 11 during his administration. Still, the jail has become more violent in recent years, with fights, assaults and attacks on staff escalating, the Chronicle's investigation has found, based on the sheriff's own statistics as well as custodial death reports, autopsies, lawsuits and interviews with current and former jail officials, former inmates and attorneys.
Among the findings:
Harris County jailers were disciplined more than 120 times for misconduct involving abuse of authority or misuse of force, including beating, kicking and choking inmates. At least 15 were handcuffed at the time. In 84 of those 120 cases, jailers or supervisors failed to file required reports, lied or falsified documents. Stephen LaBoy, 25, was beaten by six jailers in his cell after flashing a mirror at a guard station. Drissa Pickens, 28, was assaulted by an accused murderer after a jailer unlocked a cell door and allowed the attack.
At least 70 inmates have died in custody since 2009. Three, including Hicks, died after guards used force. Other elderly or ill inmates were unable to make bond and died while awaiting trial. Latoshia Clark, 36, died pre-trial, of AIDS, after six weeks in jail for drug possession. Ten who died committed suicide, including Alex Guzman, 28, who hanged himself while two jailers ate a Domino's pizza and missed required cell checks. Guzman's case was among 35 documented instances where jailers skipped required cell checks, or faked records to hide skipping them.
Most jailers disciplined for abuse of authority or unnecessary force received only short suspensions. Since 2010, 33 of those jailers were fired for use of excessive force, unprofessional conduct, neglect of duties and lying or falsifying reports. Criminal charges were pursued against guards in only six of those cases. Jailer Brandon Whitaker grabbed inmate Tommy Maiden around the throat during a shouting match and squeezed so hard that he left bruises in the shape of handprints, jail photos show. Whitaker got a five-day suspension without being charged.
Dozens of jail employees were disciplined after they fraternized or had sex with inmates, brought in contraband or concealed relationships with prisoners and gang members. A training academy was disbanded and guards as young as 18 until recently completed only online courses as a cost-cutting measure. Former Deputy Tony G. Richards was prosecuted for having sex with an inmate in the jail laundry. His lawyer declined comment.
"It's thugs guarding thugs over there," said state Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston.
He expressed frustration with jail management and said he has encouraged civil rights attorneys to sue Harris County over jail conditions.
Amin Alehashem, a lawyer for the Texas Civil Rights Project office in Houston, called for an intensive federal investigation of violence and neglect in the jail. "Looking at the issues we have seen come out of there, it completely warrants a Department of Justice probe to see where things are slipping through the cracks," he said.
The Harris County Jail is an extremely violent place. Fights among inmates break out an average of 11 times a day. Assaults between inmates are reported about four times daily. Inmates assault staff about once each day. And guards report using force against inmates almost daily, according to official jail statistics.
But what often goes unreported is the use of excessive force against inmates. The jail holds up to 9,434 inmates and sprawls across five buildings along the Buffalo Bayou in downtown Houston.
Robert VanHorn cursed jailers for not bringing him a blanket, then stopped up his toilet and flooded his cell in protest in August 2013. He was taken to a holding cell, handcuffed and shackled. Then jailer Terryl Stoddard entered the cell and threw VanHorn against a metal bunk, opening a deep gash in his head that took nine staples to close. Stoddard's superior, Sgt. Kent Matthews, reported the injury, but he did not mention Stoddard's role. Instead, he wrote that VanHorn slipped on the wet floor.
An initial review cleared both officers, but when VanHorn filed a follow-up complaint Matthews received a three-day suspension for covering up the incident. Matthews still works at the jail, but could not be reached for comment.
Stoddard was fired, a tougher penalty than most guards received in cases related to excessive force. Investigators later determined that he had allegedly used unnecessary force on yet another inmate. He's awaiting trial on misdemeanor charges for official oppression in both cases. His attorney, Vivian King, said her client is innocent and jail officials did not consider all available evidence in a rush to judgment
Like VanHorn, about half of Harris County jail inmates on any given day haven't been convicted but are awaiting adjudication. VanHorn was in the jail on pending charges for allegedly stealing a DVD player.
Civil rights attorneys and other critics of the Harris County criminal justice system say jail violence and chronic overcrowding are symptoms of the deeper problem of local judges' strict bond practices Few accused offenders get released unless they can pay a non-refundable 10 percent commission charged by a Harris County-approved bondsman - a group that collectively makes millions from the county's tough lockup policies.
Hundreds of others are serving sentences of less than a year for minor crimes. Steven Laboy was serving a 60-day sentence for a possession of a switchblade when he was attacked in his cell by six jailers in March 2013, disciplinary records show. The onslaught began after he had flashed a mirror from his cell, hoping to signal a companion for a visit to the jail barbershop, he said.
Laboy remembered one jail guard saying: "I got something for you. I'm going to come back and bring some people." The first of six guards who burst into his cell hit him in the face with a blast of pepper spray, an internal affairs investigation shows. Then they pushed the inmate into the corridor and slammed him against a wall. Laboy fell facedown, where he was pummeled and kicked.
"I thought I was going to black out, get my nose broken, or get a concussion. And at the same time, I couldn't breathe," Laboy said.
One jailer later took Laboy to a clinic with unexplained bumps and bruises, but no one reported the incident. An internal investigation began only because the beating was captured on a security camera.
The jailers were suspended, but none were fired or charged with any crime.
More menacing was what happened to Drissa Pickens, a soft-spoken woman with almond-shaped eyes who is now beginning college classes to become a drug counselor.
Jailed a year ago for violating probation in a domestic violence case, Pickens said she got angry when she wasn't given lunch and began shouting at jail guard Vanessa L. Salazar. The guard told Pickens "that if she did not 'shut up' or words to that effect," she would "allow the other inmates to attack her," according to disciplinary records.
Harris County Jail by the numbers
70 in-custody deaths since 2009.
1,441 incidents where staff used force on inmates 2009-13.
14,588 fights from 2012-July 2015.
5,367 inmate-on-inmate assaults 2012-July 2015.
1,106 inmate assaults on staff 2012-July 2015.
Salazar then unlocked the electronic door to Pickens' cell. Within seconds, Khaundrica Williams, accused of murder, barreled toward Pickens, knocking her down, hitting her in the face and yanking handfuls of hair from her scalp. Pickens fought back as hard as she could.
Somehow, Pickens managed to escape her cell as the fight continued. She remembers looking up at Salazar, who stood in a control center, watching.
"I really couldn't believe it," she said. "I expect that kind of stuff from inmates, but not from the guards. They are supposed to protect us, and I did not feel protected."
Disciplinary records show that Salazar did not report the fight to a supervisor, as required. She admitted to unlocking the cell to allow Williams to fight Pickens.
"I have no explanation as to why I did not write a report, except that I know I did wrong and there was no way for me to explain why I did what I did," Salazar said in a sworn statement to the department's internal affairs division.
In February 2015, a little more than four months later, the sheriff fired Salazar and another guard found complicit in the attack. Salazar could not be reached for comment.
Pickens still suffers from anxiety attacks. "I feel like the guards let the inmates do their dirty work for them," she said. "They abuse their authority."
In one of his first acts as Harris County sheriff in 2009, Garcia consolidated two separate internal affairs operations - one that policed the jail and the other that investigated complaints against patrol officers. He formed an Office of Inspector General with a staff of nearly 50. Garcia said he needed to take action to show the Justice Department that his office would address alleged abuses. He also had inherited a "tremendous" backlog of 160 uninvestigated complaints that had piled up during the previous administration, he said. The deputies organization supported the move.
The OIG he created had a reputation for conducting thorough investigations.
In one of his final acts as sheriff before resigning to run for mayor, Garcia fired six supervisors, suspended 29 jailers and demoted a major for a neglect case involving a mentally disturbed inmate, Terry Goodwin. Initially jailed for marijuana possession, he was laterfound incompetent to stand trial.
A state jail compliance team discovered in 2013 that after he had assaulted a county psychiatric worker, Goodwin had been left unattended for weeks, surrounded by bug-infested food containers in a cell with a feces-clogged toilet. A grand jury in April indicted two of the six fired supervisors for falsifying jail logs to indicate that Goodwin was in good condition, despite essentially abandoning his care.
Garcia said he first learned about the case in 2014 when a whistleblower made it public and an internal investigation began. In a recent interview, Garcia said he was furious after learning of the long-term neglect.
"The framework was there, the system was there to protect the inmates," he said. "Had they followed those policies, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
Harris County recently settled a legal claim filed on Goodwin's behalf for $400,000. He is currently serving a three-year sentence in a Dallas-area prison for assaulting the jail employee.
The indictments spawned by Goodwin's high-profile neglect case were unusual. The official response was far different after the 2014 death of inmate Kenneth Lucas.
Lucas, 38, a boilermaker at a refinery, was arrested in February 2014 for violating a child visitation order. He had spent four days in jail when guards came to believe he had broken a smoke alarm, possibly to fashion a shank, Garcia later said. Six jailers dressed in riot gear stormed his tiny segregation cell, pinning him to the ground. Video footage showed just a swath of Lucas' orange jumpsuit, while he lay under a pile of jailers clad inbody armor, helmets and combat boots.
One jailer straddled his back as four others cuffed his hands and shackled his legs behind him on the gurney. Lucas begged for help, his pleas echoing off concrete walls, the video shows.
"Right now, bro, I'm going to pass out," Lucas shouts. "Get off me: I'm not moving. … Help me please."
After a 30-minute struggle and the injection of a powerful depressant in the jail's clinic, Lucas stopped breathing. Clinic staff called 911, and Lucas was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The medical examiner noted that Lucas suffered from extensive heart disease and said that the restraint used by jailers triggered a heart attack. The medical examiner nonetheless concluded that his death was a homicide. An autopsy describes more than a dozen cuts, bruises and abrasions from his head to ankles, including a broken finger from the struggle.
Garcia held a news conference at which he publicly defended officers whose actions had led to Lucas' death and released a video of the jailhouse struggle.
Despite the homicide ruling, not a single jailer was disciplined and a grand jury in March cleared all eight jail staff of any crime.
Widow Amber Lucas has watched the video of her husband's struggle so many times, she has it memorized. She says she can almost pinpoint the exact moment when he stopped breathing, the moment when she knew he wouldn't survive.
"I feel like it was a form of murder," she said. "They have him hog-tied, then you're sitting on him. Then you're smushing his face. He's screaming 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe, get off me! I feel like I'm going to pass out.' They heard that."
Along with Kenneth Lucas' four children from previous relationships, she filed a wrongful death suit on July 28 against the sheriff's office and the jailers.
Harris County is fighting the lawsuit, claiming its employees were not responsible.
One day later, it was Jacqueline Smith's turn to sue the jail in the death of her son, Danarian Hawkins, a mentally ill 27-year-old who hanged himself with a bed sheet wrapped around a smoke detector after making a previous suicide attempt with another jail-issued sheet. "Harris County jail staff left a suicidal Mr. Hawkins alone with the exact same instruments that he eventually used to kill himself," said Alehashem, of the Texas Civil Rights Project who is representing his family.
The family of another inmate who died in the jail, Herman Young, also sued the county for gross negligence and malice. That suit was dismissed after the county argued that its employees were immune from liability.
Young, 68, became incoherent and was taken to the jail clinic late one night in May 2010. After midnight, jailer Nikolaus Laliotitis yanked Young off a stretcher, punched him in the stomach and dragged him across the floor, according to other jailers who witnessed the unprovoked attack. A motive was never explained. Young died later that day at a local hospital due to what the medical examiner's office said were natural causes. Still, Laliotitis resigned and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of official oppression. He was sentenced to one day in jail and given a $1,000 fine, according to court records.
A jail sergeant was suspended for three days for failing to thoroughly investigate Young's assault.
When members of the sheriff's gang unit stopped a 2012 Kia Soul last year being driven by a member of the Tempted Young Goons, a street gang, they found ski masks and a loaded pistol in the car. But what surprised them most: the car's registration showed it was owned by a Harris County jailer, who later admitted she had a child with the gang member behind the wheel, and they were expecting another child.
The jailer was terminated last October, one of at least 30 documented incidents of jailhouse fraternization.
Some jailers have seduced or become infatuated with inmates. One young female jailer admitted giving an inmate, who was awaiting trial for using an armed robbery, photos of her, having daily conversations in the jail and even buying him a cellphone.
In her termination letter, she admitted: "I wrote to him that I could not wait to have sex with him."
Five other guards were fired and charged with smuggling contraband into the jail, including prescription drugs, vodka, tobacco, cellphones, even home-cooked meals. Another group was fired for having sex with inmates inside the jail laundry unit. One female jailer allowed an inmate to get on a county computer in the laundry unit to help her fix her home Internet service.
The effect that poor training and high turnover have had on the jail's workplace culture has been at the center of a debate Adrian Garcia and Ron Hickman-- the man who replaced him as sheriff -- have waged in the media since Garcia resigned in May.
Both believe low pay is an issue. Detention officers' starting pay is $18 per hour, less than any other county worker except entry level clerks. The guards are forced to work mandatory overtime. Jailers need only 92 hours of training, which they must complete within a year.
In one cost-cutting effort as sheriff, Garcia closed the jail's training academy, saying the department wasted too much time and money on wanna-be jailers who flunked out. Instead, Garcia allowed new-hires to complete training online and slashed overtime pay for detention officers from $26 million in 2009 to $4 million in 2015, according to sheriff's records
Hickman said he believes that relying primarily on virtual training for newly hired jailers was a mistake. He immediately raised the detention officers' minimum hiring age from 18 to 21 and reopened the academy in August.
"The impact of hiring a young, immature work force will be felt for years to come," he said. "They do get on the job training, they do get senior people to work with. But when you're building the base of their value systems, proper training is absolutely essential. And relying primarily on virtual training does not establish that."
Garcia has touted many reforms he made that were designed to protect prisoners - including spending millions on additional security cameras inside the maximum security 1200 Baker Street facility. That building houses the jail's clinic, its mental health beds and inmates who might need protection, including teenagers, women and high profile prisoners. In a 2014 presentation, Garcia called the cameras an effective deterrent to inmate abuse. But Hickman said the security cameras inside Baker Street are ineffective since they do not archive videos
The two also have clashed over Garcia's hiring of a consultant, Port Arthur-based Griffith Moseley Johnson & Associates. The firm was paid $1.4 million from the jail's commissary fund to help address the Justice Department's 2009 findings. Garcia said the consultant helped him to reduce overcrowding by devising a credit system for "good time" for some inmates, and to develop suicide prevention strategies. Hickman said Garcia relied too heavily on consultants, noting the ex-sheriff hired another out-of-town firm to oversee jail chaplaincy services.
The one thing both men agree on is that the jail has far too few resources to deal with mental illness among its inmates. About 2,000 take psychotropic medications, while there are only 200 mental health beds.
By all accounts, Norman Hicks, the retired butcher, 72, was an annoying presence as he walked through his cellblock at the Harris County Jail, swinging a towel and popping other inmates, the kind of horseplay more common to a high school locker room.
With the only separation cell on his floor already occupied, jailers placed Hicks in an attorney interview room with no bathroom and left him. Jail policy requires checking on inmates in separation cells every 30 minutes.
Two hours later, jailers smelled a foul odor and realized Hicks had soiled himself. He cleaned up with his own jail-issued shirt and then was escorted to a second attorney booth, where jailers told him to throw his shirt out into the hallway.
Christopher Pool, one of the jail guards on duty, later claimed Hicks hit him in the face with the shirt and said the inmate punched him.
Other jailers disputed that account, according to disciplinary files.
What is not in dispute: Pool then slugged the elderly man in the face. Hicks fell and hit his head. Pool stared at Hicks, who was not speaking or moving, according to an account he gave investigators, then left for the jail clinic to clean himself.
Other jailers locked the door, and no one alerted supervisors or medical staff. When a jail sergeant noticed Hicks a half-hour later, he was not breathing.
Six days later, on Jan. 22, Hicks died in a hospital.
Pool's attorney, Carson Joachim, said Hicks was the aggressor.
"Christopher Pool and the other men involved acted appropriately, and within the parameters of how they were trained," he said. "Nor did their actions violate state or federal law.
"I want to make it clear that Mr. Hicks was the first aggressor in this incident, he struck Christopher Pool in the head with a closed fist. He threw a feces-laden shirt in Chris Pool's face and neck region, and simultaneously punched Chris Pool in the face."
A grand jury declined to indict Pool, though he was fired in August 2012 for failing to seek medical help and for failing to report the incident.
Pool later successfully appealed his firing, but by the time he was offered his jail job back by civil service commissioners, Pool had become a police officer in the Houston suburbs.
In a deposition Pool gave in a related civil lawsuit, he explained he didn't summon help because jail policy gave priority to cleaning up potentially hazardous bodily waste.
Pool described the blow delivered to Hicks as a routine event in the Harris County Jail.

Several years ago I proposed a story on The Annual All Women Lifeguard Tournament in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. It was a wonderful photo story.
I thought about making a workshop out of this year's annual event. It is a beautiful event to photograph and there's a lot to be learned along the way. There are many teams of young women competing in various Lifeguard duties against each other. Photographing on the beach you need to be very aware of your exposure. You have to watch out for sand and water spray on your equipment. On the beach the soft light is wonderful and it makes colors pop. We will learn how to make the best out of every sporting situation. I will share with you some techniques I used as a photographer for Sports Illustrated. Fast shutter speeds, slow shutter speeds, pans, action coming toward the camera and across the frame. There's plenty of action, graphics, portraits you name it…it'll be a hell of a Workshop! To see more recent photos of this event go to

Woke up this morning with that "don't make me face people" feeling.
I hate having this feeling but I'm glad that I'm able to recognize it upon waking and therefore able to warn my husband before he says anything. Not anything wrong, mind you, just anything. When I'm in this mood, it wouldn't matter what he said, I'd snap.
I call it my "I don't want to deal with ANYONE today" feeling. My head aches in the back, my neck is stiff, my skin tingles like my nerve endings are on fire. My temper is on a slow boil and it wouldn't take much to set me off. I do not go out in public when I feel this way. It took awhile, but my husband finally understands, kinda, only cause he's witnessed my explosions. And he has seen me break in a store and come a hairsbreath away from bitch slapping a parent who either couldn't or wouldn't control her child.
I walked away without incident but it took almost every ounce of my self control to do it.
To put it simply. Some days people irritate the piss out of me. I don't know if it's a result of the Chemo cocktail I endured for so long, or the menapause rearing it's ugly head, or me just not wanting to deal with people. Whatever, I'm just glad that DH understands and let's me be alone when I need it. He's a wonderful man.

US regulators have issued a full green light for Novartis' targeted skin cancer therapy Tafinlar/Mekinist, nearly two years after an accelerated approval was issued for the combination.
The US Food and Drug Administration has cleared the treatment for use in patients with BRAF V600E/K mutation-positive unresectable or metastatic melanoma, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
According to to Novartis, Tafinlar (dabrafenib)/Mekinist (trametinib) is the first targeted therapy combination demonstrating more than two years overall survival in patients with the most aggressive form of skin cancer.
Full approval will allow the firm to "communicate more broadly with the melanoma community about the role of targeted therapies, our data, the possibility to improve clinical outcomes for patients, and our commitment to develop these medicines to their fullest potential," noted Bruno Strigini, president of Novartis Oncology.
Accelerated approval, granted by the FDA in January last year, was based on data from a Phase I/II study comparing the combo to dabrafenib monotherapy. It's full green light comes after data from the Phase III COMBI-d and COMBI-v confirmed significant benefits regarding progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
In Combi-d, Tafinlar/Mekinist achieved a statistically significant OS benefit compared to Tafinlar monotherapy (median of 25.1 months vs 18.7 months), while median PFS was 9.3 months versus 8.8 months, respectively. In COMBI-v, median PFS was 11.4 months for the combo compared to 7.3 months for the vemurafenib arm.

Adding nutritional supplements to your child's diet can cut hearing loss, says study
A new study by the Michigan University, US, suggests that you can reduce your child's genetic hearing loss if you add nutritional supplements to his diet
If your child is suffering from hearing loss due to genetic abnormality, a new research suggests that you can curb it by enhancing his regular diet.
What the study says
The study, conducted by the Michigan University, US, says that inclusion of (precursor of) vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E and magnesium can slow the progression of hereditary deafness. The enhanced diet works in slowing the progress of hearing loss and significantly but in small proportions improves hearing thresholds.
Yehoash Raphael, professor at the Michigan University, US, and author of the study, released a statement saying, "Our findings suggest that a particular high dose of mineral and vitamin supplements may be beneficial to one genetic mutation." This genetic mutation named Connexin 26 gene is responsible for genetic hearing loss.
The World Health Organisation in one of its reports says that instance of children with hearing loss has been increasing substantially. Their report suggests that around 32 million children worldwide suffer from hearing loss.
Diet for hearing loss
Although genetic loss of hearing is a difficult and gradual process to get over with, you can make small changes in your child's lifestyle to slow its progression. As the study suggests, begin with a small and balanced diet with ample amount of minerals, vitamins and even complex carbohydrates.
- Try to add more warming foods, like organic chicken
- Add sesame seeds (til), eggs, dals, walnuts, ginger, fish and even lotus seeds in your child's diet
- Avoid cold and raw foods and even cold beverages as coldness constricts the eustachian tubes (auditory tube)
- Avoid saturated fats and eliminate greasy and fried foods
- Avoid dairy products since they have the tendency to increase mucus production. In fact, studies suggest that many patients with hearing loss were found with protein deposits (that are similar to milk) in their ear.
Yoga for hearing loss
Experts suggest that yoga can also help lower the progression of hearing loss in children. A book by Dr Hua Ching-Ni titled, Attune your body with Dao-In, lists the various yoga positions and exercises for hearing loss. He suggests the following exercises:
- Sit straight on s sturdy chair with your arms on your legs and your head titled slightly forward. Now breathe slowly and rhythmically, inhaling and exhaling long breaths.
- Cover each ear with your palm with fingers of each hand facing each other on the back of your head
- Place your middle finger on top of your index finger and strike the depression at the back of your head. Repeat this 36 times, and continue breathing.
- Tilt your head down and continue to breathe, inhaling and exhaling heavily.
Dr Ching-Ni, in his book, states that these exercises when repeated on a daily basis can help with hearing loss and also recedes anxiety.
