Evil should not surprise Americans. We've seen it so many times and in so many degrees and variations — in those who tolerated some people having to sit in the back of the bus, in children who torment animals, in bankers who knowingly sold junk financial products and helped to destroy the economy and in men who set bombs in front of innocent bystanders at a marathon. The list is almost endless for those who look.
But still it shocks, as if the concept is unfathomable, as if 19 men didn't kill thousands of innocent Americans only 12 years ago. And as if the Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell on trial for murdering children born alive is some kind of fluke of history.
I was reminded of this reading the many news reports about Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the two men accused of the Boston marathon bombings. So many described the pair as "normal" young men, especially Dzhokhar, the younger of the two Russian-born Chechen brothers.
One classmate of the 19-year-old Dzhokhar at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth told Politico, "He was a pothead, a normal pothead. I couldn't even imagine him being mad at someone, let alone hurting someone."
Another told a USA Today reporter, "He was really social and hilarious. He was one of those people who would crack one joke and make your night."
Really? Was that all there was to him? I wonder if any of his fellow party goers asked him about the things that mattered to him or his deepest desires. None of the quotes that I have seen about him speak to that side of the young man who reportedly confessed to planting two bombs with his brother that killed three people and injured more than 200 and assaulting and killing a police officer.
To be fair, of course it is shocking when someone you know does something terrible. But it is as if collectively we do not understand that evil exists except for the moment it happens or as an event to cover, not as something present in human nature itself.
Turn on the news or watch any sitcom and this becomes immediately apparent. All lifestyle choices are equal in American culture as are all faiths, which has almost silenced substantive discussions about the largest issues in life for people living in fear of being labeled a racist, homophobe, or hater.
Our language reflects this decision to suspend critical thought. Many news outlets, for example, no longer use the term "illegal immigrant." Among the reasons for the change is that interest groups find the term dehumanizing and lacking in diversity. The Associated Press (AP) said it is changing its widely used "Stylebook" because "'illegal' should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally."
Likewise the government does not like to label people or actions with terms that could provoke questions about the non-judgmental dominant worldview. That is why the murder of 13 innocents at Fort Hood by Maj. Nidal Hasan in 2009 is classified as "workplace violence" instead of a terrorist attack despite his screaming of "Allahu Akbar" during the massacre and despite the numerous emails found between him and the radical American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
This divorce of moral significance from the words we choose likely will not end soon.
One in three under 30 claim no religious affiliation and so many of the rest of us view faith as a means to self-fulfillment rather than a worldview with right and wrong.
But no matter how hard we try to erase judgment from our vocabulary and culture, it cannot eliminate the dark side of human nature. And because our language reflects how we think and vice versa, as George Orwell noted in "Politics and the English Language," understanding, anticipating, and ultimately labeling evil will become more difficult for Americans.
"If you see something, say something" is a good idea for identifying suspect bags, but what will be the strategy for identifying suspect minds in the U.S. when "evil" has been removed from the "AP Stylebook"?

Many of us knew this would happen: what appears to be a complete meltdown over at Freethought Blogs. It's really amazing it took this long but it's starting to happen with bloggers going after other bloggers, commenters going after some of the same bloggers and each other, the owner of the network quitting, while the rest of us sit back and just and watch the ever increasing drama.
It was bound to happen. I mean, how long can anyone continue to demonize other people, and some of these bloggers have been doing it for years, before there's no one paying attention and you have to turn on your own? It's the final phase of an SJW tactic: eating your own.
We all saw this during the inception of Atheism Plus, you remember that, don't you? Some were exited for the opportunity to inject humanism into atheism. There were blogs about it (mostly from FtB) and participants even set up their own forum to promote their newly realized religion.
A+ quickly started going downhill when people were constanly being banned from the forum for "JAQing off" (Just Asking Questions) which is a no-no in SJW land. People were reprimanded for using abelist terms like crazy and crippled. It got to the point, just like now, where the moderators of the forum were going after each other!
Of course, there are bloggers at FtB claiming that they are not, in fact, doomed to disappearing: here and here, but it looks like so much bitter tears.
I really don't understand how those at FtB could not predict this eventuality. They've spent years smearing other ateists and skeptics, taking others words completely out of context, accusing prominent names of sexism, misogyny, pedophelia, and even rape without consequence. In fact, from their sychophants, they received nothing else than high praise.
When one of their own writes a blog that seems to offend a certain segment though, and the cries of transphobia abound, what's the response? Well, it's that those same people have mischaracterized that blogger; they've taken it upon themselves to smear and defame. Taken the quote completely out of context. Wait, what?
The lack of self-awareness there is just astounding. There's another word for it: hypocrisy. Even though many of us on the outside have been pointing that out for several years now, it looks like some of those of the inner circle are becoming aware of it as well.
There is no moral high ground that those certain bloggers at FtB hold. They never have. I don't want to cut a wide swath and say that every blogger at FtB holds that distinction: most of you know of whom I speak. It is however that some have claimed that high ground, without ever demonstrating their deserving same.
Is FtB doomed? I don't really know but I can say that the monster has been revealed. It's going to be really difficult in the future for any of these particular bloggers to claim their moral superiority to atheists and skeptics as a whole.
The positive about this debacle is that there may be a new level of skepticism coming to FtB from their regular commenters and maybe from a few contributors as well. I can just vizualize the ban-hammer furiously at work.
We can only sit, watch, and make sure we have plenty of popcorn available.

Kent Roach "created a third model as a theoretical based for victims' rights. He referred to it as the victims' rights model and called for more laws and prosecutions, a greater role for the victim in the trial and more services and support for victims" (2008, p. 113). In his model, he identifies the difference between the punitive victims' rights model and the non-punitive victims' rights model. Roach describes that the "punitive approach as one resembling the crime control model because it focuses on the enactment of criminal law, prosecution and punishment as ways to control crime" (2008, p. 13). While the non-punitive model of victims' rights according to Roach "looks away from the reliance on criminal sanction and punishment and toward the prevention of crime and the restorative justice" (2008, p. 114). Both approaches provide a role for the victim in the criminal justice process. For example, the punitive approach will require the victim to be involved at sentencing and parole hearings as this will tend to lead to greater punishment. While the non-punitive approach relies on the needs of the victims and "seeks to minimize the pain of both victimization and punishment" (2008, p. 14). Roach also goes on to say that the non-punitive approach "would seek to shift the focus of importance away from traditional crime strategies" (2008, p. 114) and towards the victim, the offender, families and supporters. Therefore, I believe that the non-punitive approach will facilitate the victim's role in the criminal justice process. As Volk and Schmalleger (2008) states that the victims in the non-punitive approach would play a significant role in determining how the offender should be dealt with.
I would think that the victim would testify at the hearing and depending on the evidence and what is said; the punishment will be granted based on the information provided by the victim. Even though the direct victim plays a part in determining the punishment based on the non-punitive approach, it does not mention very much regarding the non-direct victims such as the families and the supporters. The non-direct victim's interests are not served and they aren't able to help determine the punishment that may be given.
Don't waste your time!
Order your assignment!
order now
Even though Roach might say that the victims should be involved as it will create benefits to the criminal justice system, but what is to say that the victims want to take part in the process? Some victims might have the courage to stand up to the offender but many might not want to, and so if the victims do not want to take part in the process, what happens then? Does this mean that the offender might get a lesser punishment because the victim could not stand to think about the incident?

Awesome SYNEK Machine Is The 'Keurig' of Beer, Dispensing Cold Ones On Demand
The idea is that such a device allows you to keep a reasonably large amount of beer on hand and on tap without needing to fill bottles or growlers or having a kegerator around. You can fill a SYNEK bag from any tap with up to a gallon of beer and stick in in your fridge. When you feel like it, pop the bag into the SYNEK and poof, cold beer on tap.
The team says that beer stored this way will remain fresh and delicious for more than a month. The machine itself chills and pressurizes the beer, and--this is important--you can swap out one bag for another without losing carbonation. Thus, you could keep many bags of different beers on hand and easily serve them to friends (or yourself) at will.
Another key element of the SYNEK is that it's incredibly easy to fill up the special bags from a tap. They developed a small hose that keeps the beer from ever coming into contact with air, so the transfer doesn't affect the brew at all.
The killer use case for the SYNEK is most likely home brewers, but we can imagine dropping by a local bar and filling up a few bags before a party from various taps.
The SYNEK team is soliciting funds through Kickstarter, if you want to help make better beer dispensing a reality. They're looking for $250,000 and have so far drummed up just over $28,000 with 23 days to go.

One port to do it all: USB 3.0 in next-generation smart phones and tablets
Next-generation tablets and smartphones are set to replace not only laptops (see Tablet sales surging at PC's expense ), but popular media players as well. They can replace DVD/Blu-Ray players by interfacing with the home-entertainment systems wirelessly, enabling users to enjoy multimedia while browsing the Internet on their tablets or receiving calls on their smartphones.
Just one "smart" device can talk with all the other devices around it, and with the tremendous processing power packed into them, they can eliminate the need for costly processing power in the other devices they are connected to. For example, by connecting a keyboard and LCD screen to a smartphone, you can now have the equivalent of a traditional PC up and functioning with an integrated 3G Internet connection. Connect high capacity USB flash memories smaller than a finger nail to a smartphone and you can remove the bulky media players from your living room because the phone will now drive your video/audio receivers. You won't even need a separate remote control, like you did for your old media players.
Smart devices can be directly connected to HD photo and video cameras for data transfers. They can act like remote controls to such devices as a treadmill to collect your workout data; they can even 'smartly' control your workout regime. A tablet along with a smart phone can become your HD gaming console. Connect the tablet to HD-TV through wire, and multiple people can use their smartphones as wireless joysticks interacting with the tablet. Simply put, you can have one device to do it all.
Along with the huge processing power, another smart feature of these devices is how they interface with all the devices around them. Let us look at some key features we would expect a smart interface of a smart device to have.
- High-speed communication: If devices need to transfer HD video/audio, they need to do so at multi Gbps rates. Note that this is uncompressed video/audio, given that there is no longer a separate media player in the loop.
- Low power consumption: High-speed communication by itself is not enough. It is essential for these smart devices to save power while communicating, given their reliance upon a battery.
- Universal language of communication: It is desirable that all devices speak the same language. This would save a lot of cost, power, and make things more convenient in general.
- Physical compactness: An interface should not take a lot of area on the device.
- Multi-purpose: It is highly desirable that the data interface could be used for all the purposes for which you would connect a wire to your mobile device, including battery charging.
- Backward compatibility: Devices need to be able to talk effortlessly with their outdated predecessors.
- Low cost: Cost is always a crucial consideration in the consumer electronics market.
In sum, we are looking for one port to serve all wired interfacing needs for mobile devices. Currently, several interfacing options like HDMI, USB 3.0, and DisplayPort are available. All current generation smartphones and tablets already have a USB 2.0 interface for data transfer; they use the same port for battery charging as well. USB has an installed user base of around 6 billion devices. On the other hand, HDMI and DisplayPort have gained popularity for home entertainment systems to carry uncompressed HD video/audio.
HDMI has been in high-definition products since 2003. It has been the interface of choice to provide digital connectivity between HD media players, HD set-top boxes, and HD TVs. HDMI has gone through several revisions and in its latest version can support 3D video and 8-channel sound.
Along with 3D video, HDMI supports Audio Return Channel, a feature that allows the TV to return sound channels from the HD set-top box to a home theatre system. This eliminates the need for a separate audio connection from the set-top box to home-theatre system and hence the entire data transfer can be done using just two HDMI cables.
To begin with, USB 3.0 was seen as an upgrade to USB 2.0 and its applications were considered to be primarily to improve the data transfer rates in all USB 2.0 applications. Also, USB 3.0 was introduced much later than HDMI, which had already become the preferred interface in HD entertainment systems. So far USB 3.0 has not considered as an interface for HD video transmission.
However, with SuperSpeed capable of data transfer rate of 5Gbps, USB 3.0 is able to transfer uncompressed full-HD video. In 2011, Point Grey (advanced camera makers) and AMD reported uncompressed 1080p/60fps video streaming over USB 3.0. Though USB 3.0 is still in a nascent stage not yet adopted universally as the preferred interface for HD video/audio transfer, USB 3.0 makes a strong case for itself for the following reasons:
The future of consumer electronics is being increasingly defined by smart mobile devices. These devices will replace existing set-top boxes by becoming the control center of everything electronic in the home.
All smart mobile devices will be upgrading to USB 3.0 sooner than later because it is compatible with USB 2.0 devices, supports higher battery charging rate, and has 10X the data transfer rates of USB 2.0.
Current generation TVs and media players that have USB 2.0 interfaces need a video decompressor to play media from USB memory devices. Next-generation TVs can eliminate the need for video decompression by using a USB 3.0 interface, leaving video decompression to a smart mobile device.
A faster USB 3.0 version is under development which will support data speeds up to 10Gbps. The only thing left to be done is to adopt USB 3.0 for HD video/audio transmission. Then it will be set to replace HDMI and all other ports that exist on present generation laptops, TVs, and other electronic devices. We will truly have one port that does it all.

Always a party in Lake Havasu — Photo courtesy of azspringbreak.com
The Travel Channel has recently rated Arizona's Lake Havasu as the world's #5 spring break destination. This comes as no surprise to the college students who have been flocking to the large, sunny lake which defines the Arizona-California border.
Lake Havasu tempts college kids with nonstop events, from dusk 'til dawn. These revelers come to play, and there's no end to the options on how they can spend their recreational hours and budget. Havasu offers boating, para-sailing, jet skis, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, suntanning, and swimming. But of course a destination this popular with spring breakers has also got the cool party down to a science, and the area offers concerts, parties and nightlife galore for the several weeks during which American colleges take their spring break.
This is an easy area to get to: it's located halfway between Phoenix and Las Vegas, and is not too far from L.A. or San Diego either.

A newspaper in Louisvile is apologizing because they once refused to refer to famed boxer and activist by his name Muhammad Ali.
The Courier-Journal, a daily paper in Ali's hometown, spent several years calling Ali by his given name, Cassius Clay, after Ali requested not to be acknowledged as such.
From 1964 to 1970, the newspaper wrote about the athlete and his accomplishments but failed to be respectful of Ali's adoption to the Muslim faith.
Precious Moments Between Muhammad Ali and His Daughters
50 years later, following Ali's death on June 3rd, The Courier-Journal's executive editor Neil Budde issued a statement offering an acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
"We won't even try to speculate what the motives of the editors in that era were," he stated. "The CJ was certainly an early champion of civil rights and desegregation. Yet we took what in today's light is an oddly hostile approach on the specific issue of Ali's name, which did little to help race relations in a turbulent time."

RODIN Olio Lusso 3 Eau de Toilette
$ 170.00Expanding her fragrance line with an eau de toilette, RODIN 3, is a refreshing fragrance and an exciting new addition to Linda Rodin's existing scents – RODIN and RODIN bis.
The classic spicy geranium, with notes of jasmine grandiflora, ylang-ylang, and orris are at the heart of the fragrance. The base notes of santal and patchouli provide a musky drydown and allow RODIN 3 to linger. It's evocative of the 1970s when Linda wore fresh and breezy perfumes. Like its sister scents, RODIN 3 is highly personal for Linda and a perfect addition to her fragrance wardrobe.

"PERSPECTIVE!" is this week's Power Word!
PERSPECTIVE is the lens through which we experience the world.
Leaders have the ability, either innately or developed through practice, to see different PERSPECTIVEs, especially when it comes to people in their sphere of influence.
Understanding the PERSPECTIVE of others, especially when it comes to framing conversations and requests will help in exerting positive influence.
One key caveat!
In our most intimate personal and professional relationships I've found we become less open to the other's PERSPECTIVE, but of course tend to expect the other to see ours more readily.
Just something to be careful of.
'til next time,

Michelle Obama announces one-stop job site for vets
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama has announced a new online effort to link soldiers leaving the military with jobs that match their skill sets.
She said Wednesday that the new Veterans Employment Center provides one-stop shopping for troops as they transition to civilian life.
The move comes as the U.S. winds down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the administration seeks to lower unemployment among veterans.
Mrs. Obama, joined by Vice President Joe Biden's wife, Jill, made the announcement at Fort Campbell along the Kentucky-Tennessee state line.

Lenten Devotional for February 18
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
—John 6:35 (NRSV)
"Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Our mother always asked us these questions the moment we came in the back door after playing in the hot summer sun. If we said "no", the next response was "are you sure?"
No matter our position in the world, these questions face us all. For all humans and creatures, paying attention to physical hunger and thirst is essential. But hunger and thirst can also apply to spiritual realities. There are deserts where people find themselves emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually bankrupt. In those places, pain, longing, and danger lurk. Temptations abound which offer temporary relief from hunger and thirst realities. There are many 'things' that could feed us or quench our thirst.
Yet in the midst of these places where of temptation, Jesus' words resound, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
We are assured throughout scripture that there are no places where we find ourselves where Jesus is not present. In the midst of the worst hungers of our lives, we are not alone. God is there saying "I am with you." We are assured that no matter where we find ourselves God is there — offering water to our thirsty spirits and food for our desperately hungry hearts.
–Karen Greenwaldt*
Gracious God, thank you for offering bread and water to our hungry and thirsting bodies. Amen.
What do you need from God today?

ESPN Scores Highest Rating Ever with Monday Night Football
So far, so good for "Monday Night Football" on ESPN, the debut of which produced the highest ratings in the twenty-six year history of the network.
ESPN's first regular-season Monday night NFL game under the new contract drew the cable network's biggest audience ever and delivered a major boost to ESPN.com and its new "Monday Night Surround" content.
The game between the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins, won 19-16 by Minnesota, drew a 9.9 rating, representing an average of between nearly 9.2 million and 12.57 million households, the network said. The previous record was 8.9 million households on Christmas Day 1994 for a game between Detroit and Miami.
ESPN's second Monday night game, San Diego's 27-0 win over Oakland, received a rating of 8.5 and was seen in an average of 7.87 million households.
The ratings are low by prime time football and MNF standards, though. Putting games on a network that not everyone has access to guarantees that.

How Long Does Grief Last?0 USER TIPS ADD YOUR TIP
Immediately following the death of a loved one, your despair or sadness may feel unrelenting. You can't imagine a time when you won't feel the loss so intensely, when the grief isn't front and center—a thick fog between you and the rest of the world. But life does go on, and your grief will ease over time. Here's what to keep in mind:
Everyone's timeline is different
When George Bonanno, a grief researcher and author of The Other Side of Sadness, followed 1,500 elderly individuals for several years he was able to intimately track the emotions of more than 200 of them who lost a spouse during that time. What Bonanno's study found is that the main symptoms of grief (shock, depression, anxiety) had lifted within six months for 50 percent of the participants.
But six months is hardly a rigid sentence: Some improved much faster, while roughly one-quarter saw symptoms start improving only after six months. About 10 percent actually felt a sense of relief (and an improvement in pre-existing depression) from the death.
That massive amount of variety isn't only among bereaved spouses. When you factor in the many different types of relationships people can have with someone who died, it's clear there's no one-size-fits-all timeline for grief's progression, says Jill Cohen, a New York-based grief counselor.
How close you were to the person who died may play one factor, but grief's timeline also has to do with your own psychology. A lengthy duration isn't a badge of devotion or a sign that you loved the deceased "more" than your sibling who seemed to bounce back more quickly. Everyone truly does move through grief in their own time, and "there is rarely a 'normal' when it comes to mourning," says Cohen.
In the immediate aftermath of a death, you may struggle to concentrate, to maintain your appetite, or to complete even routine tasks. Cohen says that, for many people, those intense symptoms begin to lessen around six to eight weeks. But that rule of thumb shouldn't be taken as a proscriptive schedule, by any means.
Delays happen
Sorting out the legal and financial paperwork after your loved one dies. Cleaning out the house. Rehoming the cat. Selling the car. The tsunami of logistical details that follow a loved one's death can be overwhelming. But, for some, that never-ending to-do list is also a welcome distraction from their own emotions.
For those people, true grief may not begin until months later, when the distractions are finally taken care of. "The reality of the death may not fully hit until much later—maybe even a year—but when it does, it hits the bereaved as if the death just happened," says Cohen. Mourning your mother a full six months after she died may take you by surprise, but delayed grief is perfectly normal.
Think pendulum, not progress
You might hear people talk about moving through the stages of grief, as if mourning were perfectly linear and you could wake each morning knowing that you wouldn't have to retread the emotions of the day before. But in reality, grief is more of a roller coaster or pendulum than a linear progression.
When a researcher at the University of Akron tracked the daily moods of recent widows for three months, she found that most emotions fluctuated wildly. A widow might feel despondent one day, buoyant the next; distracted and anxious one morning, optimistic and focused that same afternoon. But over time, the intensity of those fluctuations calmed, until the person returned to a more stable emotional state.
"The trajectory is never a straight line of phases or stages, but closer to oscillating waves," says Cohen. Even if you've felt closure for months, certain milestones, such as the loved one's birthday, the anniversary of the death, or important holidays, may act as a catalyst to throw you back into your grief.
Your body grieves along with your brain
Even if you're determined to put on a sunny disposition, your body may betray that you're not actually done grieving. That's because grief doesn't only manifest emotionally or with classic symptoms of tears and sadness. It can also manifest physically, with symptoms that can include:
- Headaches
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Unusual fatigue or listlessness
- Forgetfulness or difficulty concentrating
- Stomach aches or body aches
- Loss of appetite and/or weight loss; or increased appetite and/or weight gain
Physical symptoms aren't a cause for concern, but they are a very concrete reminder that "you can't rush through grief," says Cohen. "If you rush to say it's over, when it's not, you're robbing yourself of the time and attention needed to adjust."
Sometimes you need help
People grieve in their own way and at their own pace—and even after you reach resolution you may find that certain anniversaries or milestones cause your grief to return. Yet working through your grief doesn't have to be a solo endeavor: If you find that, even several weeks after the death, your bereavement is interfering with your day-to-day life or feels overwhelming or unrelenting, you may want to consider seeking out the support of a grief counselor.

How Big Lottery funds are allocated
(This link helps.)
1 comment:
If lottery money is going to ASH then I will stop playing the lottery altogether. On top of ducking excessive tobacco taxes turned around to fund anti-smoker hate campaigns it's time I stop helping them by funding them through lottery buying. The only lottery winners appear to be ASH and I personally won't help fund it anymore. Others might consider doing the same if by boycotting the lottery it helps defund ASH and other fake-charity-quangoes sucking taxpayer money and squandering it on hate propaganda.

The Myth of Myth
The walls are flooded with flowers.
Outside, the garden is vertical with leaves.
Where the reputed muses dance,
all the grass is beaten down by their
delicate bare feet as they gambol.
The next morning there are empty flagons
where full ones sat the night before.
An amphora once brimming with wine
sits against memory like a drunken aunt,
her curves wider in the morning light.
On the inside of your left arm, you find
teeth prints purpling and irregular.
Your breasts feel heavy, like wine skins
before the revelry, your mouth, sore
and split as a pomegranate spilling seed.
In the west, the mountain you revere
like you would any erect and stable thing,
glistens snow-capped and drenched blue.
Surrounded by ocean, each wave crest salutes
like a triton rising, and somewhere in clouds,
that winged horse rears, then falls into horizon
lines taut and inescapable as Zeus's golden reins.

There's an outrageous new phenomenon in the criminal justice system: local prosecutors giving special treatment to illegal (and legal) aliens.
Michael Daly graphically illustrates the problem of prosecutors failing to prosecute in his Daily Beast story about Abhishek Gattani, an alien computer industry executive in Silicon Valley. Despite repeated, iPhone-recorded domestic abuse of his wife, Gattani got a special deal from local prosecutors. Why? According to the prosecutor in the case, Steve Fein, it is because his boss, Santa Clara County district attorney Jeff Rosen, wants to ensure that Gattani doesn't get deported because of his immigration status.
This is the same Santa Clara County that sued the Trump administration and obtained a district court injunction to prevent the administration from enforcing its new rules that bar giving Justice Department and Homeland Security grants to sanctuary jurisdictions like Santa Clara County. Apparently, the county really wants to make sure that domestic abusers and other criminals stay in Santa Clara County rather than get sent back to their home countries.
Gattani was facing his second felony domestic violence charge. He was arrested the first time when a postman saw him punching his wife outside their home and called the police. More recently, his wife and victim, Neha Rastogi, actually recorded the audio of her beating on her iPhone.
It makes for painful listening. One can hear Gattani repeatedly calling his wife a "bitch" and repeatedly hitting her in the presence of their infant daughter. Rastogi also has a second recording, made a month later, in which Gattani tells her he would like to see her murdered.
Gattani pleaded "no contest" to the charge. Yet the prosecutor reduced the charge from felony assault to accessory after the fact, along with a misdemeanor charge of "offensive touching." Fein tried to defend his actions by claiming that being an accessory after the fact was still a felony charge and therefore a fair resolution of the case. But because this is not a charge involving violence, it would no longer put Gattani at risk of being deported back to India. In fact, according to Fein, if Gattani carried out the very light terms of his sentence recommended by Fein – only 30 days in custody, served on weekends, and three years of probation, even the felony charge will get reduced to a misdemeanor with no objection from the prosecutor.
The Daily Beast reports that his victim is not at all happy about this "resolution." Rastogi wonders how someone who is arrested for a crime can be charged with being an accessory after the fact without being charged with the crime itself. And she is particularly offended that being beaten was treated as only "offensive touching." In her victim statement, she said she felt "FOOLED, disgraced and ridiculed as a victim."
Prosecutors are charged with administering justice objectively and without bias. That includes taking into account the severity of the crime and the injuries suffered by a victim. Reducing the charges against a criminal because of who he is in society, as opposed to the exact circumstances surrounding the crime, is morally wrong and offensive to the rule of law.
We would all think it wrong if two criminals who committed the exact same crime and inflicted the exact same injuries were treated differently because one was a poor, working-class individual and another was a white-collar executive at a big company.
What is happening in Santa Clara is just as bad.
The county powers that be are giving a domestic abuser a break because he is not a citizen. Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently criticized such behavior when it was reported that the acting district attorney in Brooklyn, New York, Eric Gonzalez, issued similar instructions to his prosecutors to avoid leveling charges that might lead to deportation. The chief deputy state's attorney in Baltimore, Michael Schatzow, the Baltimore Sun reports, has also given such a directive to his prosecutors, telling them to think twice before they charge aliens with non-violent crimes in order to prevent "potential collateral consequences" – like deportation.
Sessions found it disturbing that prosecutors would "openly brag about not charging cases appropriately – giving special treatment to illegal aliens to ensure these criminal aliens aren't deported from their communities." Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., called it shameful that the Baltimore prosecutor "is unwilling to enforce the law against illegal aliens who commit crimes in the United States."
These prosecutors are deliberately discriminating against American citizens. As Sessions said, they are "advertis[ing] that they will charge a criminal alien with a lesser offense than presumably they would charge a United States citizen. It baffles me."
Unfortunately, these are not isolated incidents. A well-connected former career prosecutor recently told me that he has been hearing complaints from his prosecutor friends around the country. They have been prohibited from notifying federal immigration authorities about felons they are prosecuting who happen to be illegal immigrants, prohibited from speaking to the media about recidivist illegal immigrant felons, and in some cases prohibited from requesting immigration removal proceedings to commence against convicted felons who are in the country illegally.
The consequences of this kind of reckless behavior are all too predictable. Aliens will have criminal charges reduced or eliminated for purely political reasons. They will be let loose back into society even sooner, with the repeat offenders among them able to victimize even more residents of their community.
And that is all but guaranteed to happen. A 2011 GAO study reviewing the criminal histories of 251,000 criminal aliens in federal, state, and local prisons found they had been arrested nearly 1.7 million times – for close to three million criminal offenses.
Apparently, prosecutors in Santa Clara County, Baltimore, and Brooklyn want to make sure that this crime spree continues.
Just as Conservative Review published this commentary about local prosecutors going easy on aliens so they can avoid being deported, the New Boston Post published a tragic (and infuriating) story that shows the lethal consequences of such policies. On May 7, engaged doctors Lina Bolanos and Richard Field were brutally murdered (their throats were cut). The suspect, Bampumim Teixeira, was shot by police after he fired at them in the condominium where the killings occurred.
Teixeira is a green card holder originally from Guinea-Bissau, according to the District Attorney's office. He was also a bank robber. According to the New Boston Post, he was convicted of robbing the Citizens Bank in Boston in 2016 after handing the teller a note telling her he would shoot her and everybody in the bank if she didn't hand over $5,000. When he was arrested, he admitted that he had also robbed a bank in 2014.
Legal aliens like Teixeira are subject to deportation if they are convicted of a theft offense that imposes a term of imprisonment of at least one year (8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(43(G)). In criminal law, crimes that result in sentences of a year or more are considered felonies.
Apparently, some enterprising investigative reporters in Boston obtained the original court documents of the sentencing of Teixeira for the 2016 bank robbery. They discovered that the local judge, Lisa Grant, "crossed out the number '365'," which was the number of days that Teixeira was originally sentenced to serve in prison, and replaced it with the number "364." By shaving one day off of the sentence, it dropped the alien below the deportation threshold.
Of course, one has to wonder at a judge and a local prosecutor who agreed to only a year in jail for someone who robbed two banks. But what is much worse is that by giving Teixeira this preferential treatment, Judge Grant made sure that he would stay in this country and not be deported by the Department of Homeland Security. But for her misbehavior, the probability is high that Lina Bolanos and Richard Field would be alive today.
Local prosecutors and judges who engage in this type of behavior should be removed or voted out of office. As Attorney General Jeff Sessions said, it is "baffling" that any law enforcement official would believe that this is acceptable behavior.

I know it's the day after Halloween and your stomach is still grumbling from all that candy you snitched from your kids last night (oh, I saw you), but I couldn't resist this opportunity.
My friends at Hershey's — I was their S'mores spokesmom last year — offered to send bags of their delicious new candies, Hershey's Drops, to 30 people of my choosing. Hershey's Drops aren't due in stores until December, so those 30 folks will get the same tasty preview we got at my house last week. Well, not an entire week, because we devoured both bags in three days.
Hershey's Drops has two flavors: Chocolate and Cookies n Creme. My son described them as "M&M's to the tenth power," except they don't have a hard candy shell. The chocolate ones taste like mini Hershey Kisses with a smooth finish, which keeps them from melting in the bag and in your hands. The cookies n' creme taste like white chocolate-meets-Oreos.
Hershey's said I could give them to 30 people today, but I gently explained the Halloween hangover thing most parents are currently enduring. So, I thought it would be way more fun playing the "Candy Mom," like the Candy Man, only female and shouting, "Who left the Reese's wrappers all over the floor?!"
Here's my plan: I'm going to pick one person every day in November (including Thanksgiving), either here or on my Twitter page or at the MommaSaid Facebook page. It'll likely be someone who leaves comments, or retweets me, or "likes" stuff on Facebook.
Every day, I'll announce that person in all three places, and then you'll need to get back to me so I can get your address. I have to give you, let's say, three days from the announcement to send me your address, or I'll have to pick someone else, because I've got to wrap this up by the end of the month. You understand.
That's right: I'm going to mix it with love and make the world taste good.
Who is our first recipient of a randomly chosen 8 ounce resealable pouch of either the chocolate or cookies n' creme (in other words, I have no say in what you get) Hershey's Drops?
Momma says Kris Spurley. She's a long-time MommaSaid fan who takes the time to comment here on Momma Blog and retweet my tweets. So Kris, shoot me your snail mail addy, either through DM on Twitter or by e-mailing me at jensingerATmommasaidDOTnet. Thanks for being a fan.
So there. I've started my first day as the Candy Mom, taking tomorrow and dipping it in a dream. Or whatever. Thanks to Hershey's for all the fabulous free chocolate and to everyone who reads MommaSaid. Check in tomorrow to see who gets the next bag o' Hershey's Drops.

Are you launching a new community, or renovating an existing one?
Hiring an interior design firm is an extremely important aspect of any architectural project and the decision should not be taken lightly. The design team is ultimately responsible for the look and feel of the project so it's important to have an understanding of what you want, what you need, and what your budget is prior to setting up a meeting. Make sure to view the design team's portfolio, examples of past projects, and specialties prior to making a decision.
Once you are ready to move forward and you've committed to a firm that you feel can accomplish your community's goals, it's time to start collaborating on the new project.
Here are 10 questions to ask your new interior design firm.
- What are other communities doing that we currently are not?
Get a better understanding of their experience, what they know about the competition and their recommendations for improving and upgrading the community.
- What do seniors want in a housing community today?
Find out what the interior design firm knows about current market trends and how they can implement those strategies into your senior living environment.
- How do you incorporate sustainability into the design?
For many communities, sustainability is an ever growing topic because there are long term benefits of designing with sustainability in mind. At Warner Design Associates, our team has embraced green design and we are proud to have LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) team members ready to respond.
- How can we make the space open and friendly for the larger community?
It's important to consider not only how to design a facility with the residents in mind but how to better accommodate their guests, visitors, and the local community.
- What type of flooring do you recommend throughout the facility?
Flooring is one of the most frequently asked questions in the design process because there are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration. Does the space need to accommodate wheelchairs? What hardwood or tile is the safest to prevent slipping? Should carpet be a preferred option?
- What are your recommendations regarding fixed or flexible spaces?
The senior living market is constantly growing and changing which is why it's often recommended to develop a flexible, multi-use space meant for a variety of activities. Find out what your new design team suggests.
- How comfortable and confident are you with our budget and expectations?
Your senior living design firm is responsible for every aspect of the design process including managing the budget. At Warner Design Associates, we have a thorough understanding of the costs of interior finishes and furnishings, for both new construction and renovation projects. We provide you with detailed, highly accurate contract documents and specs and build fiscal responsibility into every aspect of our interior design process.
- What are the biggest challenges you see for the project and what are your recommendations for overcoming them?
It's important to have open communication about any potential challenges, setbacks, and plans to move forward.
- What considerations should we be taking to ensure long-term operations and building maintenance?
Having a forward-thinking design team that has an interest in the long-term success and operation of the community is imperative.
- What additional services should we be incorporating into the design that can make our residents feel more at home?
Residents should always remain top of mind. That's why we follow the changing demographic trends and market segments to ensure that no matter where we're designing, residents can feel comfortable in their new space.
Whether you're considering a renovation or designing a new senior living community, our team is happy to help you with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the design process. Feel free to contact us and check out our portfolio here.

A friend of mine in NW California sent the three Chipmunk photos below my way for identification. My guess is that the first animal (first two photos) is T. amoenus and the second animal T. siskiyou. Please let me know if these are accurate IDs. Both were taken in early-mid June.
My guess on this first one is T. amoenus. It was taken in White Fir forest on the ridge near Grouse Mountain at about 5,000 ft. I have never seen T. amoenus here, only further South on Blake Mountain in drier Red Fir Forest with a Pinemat Manzanita understory, at about 5,600 ft elevation; I haven't spent that much time exploring this particular area however.
I'm pretty sure this guy is T. siskiyou. It was taken at close to sea level at a bird feeder on the edge of Jedediah Smith Redwoods SP, close to the coast in Del Norte County just E of Crescent City. Habitat was Grand Fir forest with major Alder and Coast Redwood components with a little bit of Sitka Spruce too.

Franklin Center, Pennsylvania 19091 Mdooley@franklinmint.
In a world where everything seems to run on microchips,
there's something warm and comfortable about connecting with
the past and reliving the simple joy of an old-fashioned windup
toy. Now, Franklin Mint Precision Models, in association with John
Deere, captures the nostalgia with a handsome tin toy replica of
the coveted John Deere Model 'B' tractor–the most trusted
name on American farms for over 160 years.
The 8? inch long model is made of lithographed high-quality
tin-plated steel, in the bright green and yellow colors of Deere
& Company. It's crafted using the 'slot in tab'
hand-assembly technique in the tradition of the tin toys of more
than 100 years ago.
An old-fashioned windup mechanism is then inserted, and a toy
farmer in overalls and hat is anchored behind the steering wheel,
ready to roll. A vintage-style box completes the package.
The John Deere Model 'B' Tractor Tin Collectible is
available exclusively from The Franklin Mint for $69 plus shipping
and handling.
For purchase information, phone 1-800-THE-MINT, visit the
Franklin Mint Store near you, or check out our web site at

Integrating Narrative Structures into Teaching and Learning
Learning technology consultants at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have observed when faculty and students are crafting digital stories, they are most helped by three main activities:
1. Reflection
When we reflect on our own experiences, we make connections between data and events, thereby deriving meaning and retaining content. When students are given the opportunity to reflect on how their personal experiences integrate with course content and then use multimedia to help communicate their message, they engage with the material at a higher level. This results in a higher level of retention. When students make connections between personal experience and course content, they build understanding that surpasses "going for the grade" and encourages application beyond the classroom.
2. Guidance and Feedback
Determining specific project milestones during story production gives story producers a guideline for moving through the process and motivates them to meet deadlines. Examples of milestones that are good points for guidance and feedback are the first draft of the narrative, the storyboard, the rough video edit, and the final video.
Much of the reason why we tell stories and why stories stick in the minds of listeners is because of the transformation story element. As transformations befall the story's characters, transformation may occur to the author and even to the listeners. When assigning a digital story project, help students identify the moment of transformation in their story. For example, if we look at the Dramatic Arc, transformation often occurs between the point of the inciting moment and the resolution. In the Kishōtenketsu model, transformation may not occur until the conclusion. Once the moment of transformation is identified, stories can be shaped by writing about how things were before the transformation and how things changed after the transformation. Different types of transformation—kinesthetic, intellectual, emotional, moral, and social—can be identified. This will help students tell the kind of stories that listeners will engage with.
Giving constructive feedback during story construction is practiced through a process called story circles. During digital storytelling workshops at University of Wisconsin, Madison, attendees are given guidelines for giving constructive feedback, then attendees participate in a story circle. During the story circle process, story drafts are shared and clarifying questions are asked to help the storyteller define the moment of transformation and articulate the core message through the use of images, movement, and sound. Receiving peer feedback builds group respect and trust and inspires storytellers to engage in the story production process.
When students critique other students' stories, referring to a narrative structure may be helpful. A story need not conform exactly to a structure, but it should align in at least a few ways. Referencing narrative structures and giving students general guidance on how to give feedback will help keep the critiques constructive. Regularly reviewing other students' work during multiple stages of production will improve critical thinking and group skills and inspire ideas for the reviewers' own projects.
For more information on critique guidelines and effective group work visit the Engage Technology Enhanced Collaborative Group Work website at http://engage.doit.wisc.edu/collaboration.
3. Sharing
When stories are shared, learning continues beyond the production of the digital story. Audience participation and discussion cause the formation of interrelationships and connect the storyteller, the audience, and the story content. The audience and storyteller create new meaning by relating and further integrating the story to their personal experiences. When students know their work will be seen by a larger audience outside the classroom they tend to do better work. Consider finding venues for your student digital narrative assignments so they can be shown to the campus and larger community as part of the final presentation. For example, Assistant Professor Phillip Kim, School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison, gave his Technology Entrepreneurship students a digital story assignment asking them to tell the story of a product idea. The assignments were later shared with financial investors, giving students the opportunity to pitch their product ideas, learn more about what financial investors look for when investing in a product idea, and get feedback on their product presentations.
Closing Comments
As students engage in the authoring process, narrative structures can serve as an inspiring resource. If your students are creating a digital narrative, the narrative structure models can help them get started or improve existing work. Considering how their story aligns with all or part of a narrative structure can enhance the clarity and emotional impact of the story.
In the digital storytelling workshops at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, participants walk through a simple writing activity that begins to align story structure stages with their own story ideas. Once participants identify a structure for conveying their message, a remarkable shift occurs in their desire to write and in their confidence to convey their intended message.
There are a variety of cultural structures ready to be used in the classroom. While Western narrative structures can sometimes dominate our scholarly methods of writing, the use of other cultural structures can inform and enrich students' writing comprehension and cultural awareness.

With special investigation and inputs by our Special Correspondent from Dhaka, Bangladesh
After almost all top leaders of the outlawed ULFA were deported to India, the million dollar question for Indian Intelligence, Journalists as well as common people of Assam was Where is Chief of the Staff Paresh Baruah? Everyone thought he would be caught soon but so far he has not only evaded any arrest but has also succeeded in reviving the otherwise destroyed outfit to quite some extent. From sources close to Paresh Baruah and Rapid Action Battalion of Bangladesh, Times of Assam has now been able to know how Paresh Baruah had escaped the eyes of Indian Intelligence and remained a free bird.
During the early 2009, it was Anup Chetia who had first got the hints about the coming trouble for the outfit. But Anup Chetia, who in Bangladesh Jail since 1997 even after his conviction is well completed was not taken seriously by the other leadership of the outfit. Chetia's warnings were overlooked as he was in jail. It is worth mentioning that although Arabinda Rajkhowa lived in Dhaka as well, he had not visited Chetia for the last one and half years before getting himself arrested. Anup Chetia was hurt by this negligence but due to his love for the outfit, he continued to express his thoughts through several letters to other members of ULFA.
Finally, after getting confirmation about troubled times right ahead, the ULFA leadership actually started to discuss about options to escape to China or Myanmar. However none of them wanted to leave their family behind, except for Paresh Baruah. Ironically the same leadership of ULFA used to punish those cadres who fell in love or wanted to get married and now they themselves were unwilling to leave their wives and children! Even Chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa denied escaping to China although complete arrangements were made for his escape and people were waiting to welcome him in China.
Paresh Baruah on the other hand realised the gravity of the situation and made arrangements to escape from Bangladesh on his own. He realised that his passport details were already known to the Indian Intelligence by then through help of Lebu alias Phanidhar Medhi(Read our previous exclusive Paresh Baruah's close aide Pranjit Saikia was another key of Indian Intelligence). He did his air ticket purposefully from Bangladesh to China. The Indian Intelligence underestimated Baruah again and waited on him to catch him at the airport with all preparations and arrangements done. Even G K Pillai proudly declared in India that Paresh Baruah is surrounded and has no option than to surrender. G K Pillai also had the information about the ticket number along with the flight number with which Paresh Baruah was about to leave Bangladesh. But Baruah fooled everyone. Instead of taking the flight, he went to Coxbajar of Bangladesh and took the water route to Myanmar in a ship. Further he escaped from Myanmar to China.
Paresh Baruah escaped to China from Bangladesh fooling every Intelligence official on April 10, 2009 leaving behind his wife and children. He did it right after the India Supporterd Awami League came to power and since then, he has never returned back to Bangladesh. It is still a big surprise for Arabinda Rajkhowa and his followers on how Baruah was able to escape. The plan, as known today, was to arrest Paresh Baruah first followed by others in ULFA.
Later, when the lateral talk process started with the Jailed ULFA leaders, as per plan Paresh Baruah was removed purposely from the talks process. This was done as advised by P C Haldar, the interlocutor between the Government of India and ULFA pro-talk leaders. As per plan, Dr. Hiren Gohain who had led the process of bringing in the talks process was used to criticise Paresh Baruah through media forums. Baruah too replied back a few times and slowly he was removed from the talks process.
So what Arabinda Rajkhowa did after jailed Anup Chetia alerted his comrades to leave Bangladesh as Awami League came to power in 2009? Why Arabinda Rajkhowa's driver Raja Borah was punished by Rajkhowa?? What allegation was drawn by Kaberi Kachari Rajknowar against martyr Anil Borah's brother ?? Stay connected with Times of Assam to get unfolded about the Truth, because Truth is not that what we often use to see or hear.
To be continued…
