National park foundation awards $220,000 to engage the next generation of national park stewardsBy : UOPX News | May 30, 2012
Twenty Parks To Participate in Foundation's Park Stewards Youth-Focused Service-Learning Program Sponsored By University of Phoenix
(Washington, D.C.) May 30, 2012 - The National Park Foundation, the official charity of America's national parks, announced today it has awarded $220,000 in grants as part of the 2012 Park Stewards program. Since 2009, the National Park Foundation's Park Stewards program has made it possible for high school teachers and their students across the country to build a deeper connection and sense of stewardship for their national parks through personal engagement and service learning projects. This year, University of Phoenix has partnered with the National Park Foundation making it possible for 22 high school teachers to work in parks over the summer break, creating curriculum that will then be taught to their students in the coming school year. During the summer, the teachers and park staff also develop service-learning projects that will be implemented by high school students throughout the course of the school year. The projects tie to state academic standards and are meaningful to the national parks.
"Our national parks provide an ideal physical backdrop for students to learn relevant information about the world around them," said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. "Simultaneously, this innovative program imparts the importance of these extraordinary places on our young people, planting the seeds of lifelong engagement with their parks."
"Connecting high school teachers and students to our national parks is a vibrant way to inspire the environmental stewards of tomorrow," said Seth Mones, VP of Sustainability for Apollo Education Group (the parent company of University of Phoenix). "The Park Stewards program provides a wonderful environmental and educational experience, and University of Phoenix is excited to support this excellent program."
The 2012 Park Stewards grantees include:
- Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Wisconsin
- Assateague Island National Seashore, Maryland
- Aztec Ruins National Monument, New Mexico
- Badlands National Park, South Dakota
- Capulin Volcano National Monument, New Mexico

It works in kernel. Works with GPM. Doesnt work in X server. From my kdrive code analysis it looks that if the touchscreen #ifdef is enabled the touchscreen code completely obscures underlying mouse driver.
Does anyone know if it was fixed in newer kdrive? Mouse works just fine in pdaXrom X server. What X server do they use?

What do you guys think about it?
It seems to support Intel Bulverde, TI OMAP and Motorola MX2

I can see that pdaXrom for C3000 uses the HDD for rootfs. New OZ for C3x00 series also is HDD based. I really dont like the idea of /var/log on flash file system or /tmp being in precious memory. I think it would be great if pdaXrom always installed to HDD on C3x00 series.
Is it possible to instal C3000 pdaXrom on C3100 without changes?

I know there are many.
But what I really need is something simple, with full screen uncluttered interface so I could use fingers to control the playback and volume.
Is there anything in the feeds? Or is there a player that would fit the description so I could compile it?

Hi guys.
I managed to compile couple more things.
gtk-engines-thinice - My favourite GTK2 theme. Small widgets good for 640x480 screen. (Actually I use it on my 1920x1200 desktop as well)
htop - sexy process viewer/manager, replacement for top
lcms - little color management system
ufraw 0.7 (uses lcms). ufraw is raw conversion utility for images from digital cameras. I had to modify the main dialog layout to almost fit into 640x480 screen. It loads and converts images from my Pentax dSLR just fine. It takes A LONG TIME to convert the image, like couple minutes. This should be useful for previewing images on trips or so. Take SD card from the camera, put in Zaurus and play!

Since I've gotten a complaint about not being able to register (and seriously, some of the older folk don't grok memes that fast), I'm adding to the registration question list. But this time, for something everyone can enjoy.
The theme is comics trivia, from newspapers and books primarily, but long-running well-known webcomics can also qualify. The questions are Jeopardy(tm) style, but the answers will be simple (no need for "what is" or "who is"). Some may be a bit obscure, but the hints, and some GoogleFu or Binging around will get you the right answer.
For everyone else, dive into your local comic book store, and get out your tapes of the old Saturday cartoons! I'll take suggestions below. One rule though: DO NOT GIVE ME OR ANYONE ELSE THE ANSWER! Just give me the question here. I reserve the right to delete answers out of any reply so the spambots don't get 'em straight from us.

Moviemaker David Lynch has posted a bizarre new ad for his Signature Cup Coffee online.
In the strange commercial, the "Twin Peaks" director talks to a Barbie doll head cradled in his hand about his organic brew.
In the three-minute short, the Barbie asks Lynch what he's drinking and he explains it's a cup of espresso from his Signature Cup range.
When the doll asks, "Is it good?" Lynch offers to fix her a cup.
The odd chat then turns a little romantic as the Barbie tells the filmmaker, "You're kinda cute," to which Lynch responds, "You are beautiful."

Marion County Health Department spokesman Curt Brantingham says tests didn't pinpoint exactly what the substance was. He says no more testing is planned.
Brantingham says the substance was stirred up Wednesday morning as workers prepared to load a truck and fans dispersed it. Plainfield assistant fire chief Brent Anderson says a worker reported having trouble breathing, and others at the center soon were feeling similar symptoms.
He says 32 workers were taken to area hospitals. He says none of the workers were believed to be seriously ill.
A telephone message seeking comment was left Wednesday for Amazon officials.

EU gave green light to bar anti-ECB protesters from entering country during summit
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
The European Commission has given Spain the green light to take the unprecedented move to temporarily suspend its open border policy with France under the Schengen agreement in a bid to curtail mass protests targeting a European Central Bank summit set to take place in Barcelona next week.
"The Spanish Government has taken the decision for security reasons, upon the request made by the Catalan Minister for Home Affairs, Felip Puig, in charge of security in Catalonia. Police reports pointed to the possible involvement of foreign nationals travelling to the city to take part in potential violent street protests," reports the Catalan News Agency.
The 1986 Schengen Protocol allows free movement of European citizens between countries who sign up to the agreement. The only way the policy can be suspended by an individual nation is if there exists "a serious threat to public order or domestic security."
The suspension will come into effect on April 28th, four days before the ECB summit begins, and will remain in place until May 5th.
Anyone attempting to enter Spain from France during this period will face stringent security checks, and if individuals are judged to be "anti-system" protesters they will not be allowed to enter the country.
Since the member states of the European Union normally triumph the EU's open border system as a hallmark of 21st century liberal democracy, it's ironic that the one time the policy is temporarily suspended it is to prevent people from engaging in their democratic right to protest against European Central Bank technocrats who are exploiting the financial crisis they created to destroy national sovereignty in countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
Just as the former Communist countries in Eastern Europe created a system of internal passports and border checkpoints aimed at keeping out, and in many cases keeping in, dissidents who they feared would use free speech to challenge authoritarian regimes, Spain is doing likewise.
The border controls will be complemented by a fleet of 6,500 extra policemen who have already been deployed onto the streets of Barcelona and will remain there until after the summit ends.
The authoritarian nature of this move comes as no surprise given the fact that, although requested by the Spanish government, it was the European Commission itself who had final say in approving the policy change, which it did without delay.
In other words, the EU gave the go ahead for Spain to suspend its open border policy in order to keep out anti-EU protesters.
This once again underscores the fact that the European Union is inherently undemocratic in nature and goes to every length to silence the free speech rights of its citizens.

This Week's Theme: Why The Truth Can't Be Told
Health, Healthcare and Bankruptcy
If I were a small-business employer, I wouldn't hire myself. Why? I'm over 50. Maybe I'd hire myself for cash, more or less like a day laborer; but as an employee with healthcare and other benefits? Are you insane? The healthcare premiums are over $1,000 a month.
Would I hire a guy or gal with three kids? Heck no, same reason. Bennies cost too much. Would I hire a diabetic or person with chronic health conditions? No way. Would it make financial sense for me to hire a no-benefits contract worker, or a "non-legal" worker for cash? Absolutely.
Some readers have pointed out that employee healthcare costs are not an issue to global companies like Exxon, but the truth is large multinational corporations have been shedding jobs in the U.S. in favor of foreign-based workers for years. This is largely the result of global reach--it only make sense to grow your workforce where your markets are also growing--but I doubt Intel et. al. are entirely impervious to rising medical and pension costs in the U.S.
For a snapshot of an ailing U.S. company in an ailing industry, consider these "legacy costs" for auto maker Chrysler: In for an overhaul.
"Cerberus Capital Management, a New York private equity firm, will pay $7.8 billion for the iconic automaker, with almost all of that going to recapitalize Chrysler.
Nearly a decade ago, Daimler paid $36 billion to buy Chrysler. Now, the same company will pay $650 million to rid itself of Chrysler and its $18 billion in pension and health care obligations.
It will face pressure to make Chrysler more competitive. Chrysler, which lost $1.5 billion last year, estimates it pays $30 an hour more in labor costs than its Japanese counterparts. GM and Ford have similar disadvantages, which is simply untenable. "
That $30/hour isn't wages--the Japanese aren't paid $10/hour and the U.S. worker paid $40/hour. It's the "overhead" costs for medical insurance, pensions, vacation, sick-leave, etc. It's painfully obvious that the only way Chryler will survive is if the $18 billion in pension obligations and the ongoing billions to pay for generous healthcare and other benefits are slashed/eliminated.
The heading-for-bankruptcy "healthcare" system in the U.S. is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about when it comes to "saving or creating jobs" in the U.S. Capitalism can be boiled down to this: capital will flow to the highest returns. Once the burdens of healthcare, sick leave, etc. become too onerous then capital will leave for higher-return climes and businesses.
So let's get real. The decision for global corporations isn't between jobs in the U.S. and China--it's between expanding the workforce in China or India, Vietnam, Poland, Brazil, etc.
It's also inaccurate to keep talking about cost, as if the problem with healthcare in the U.S. was simply money. It isn't. It's an entire system of ill-health:
to see chart, please go to www.oftwominds.com/blog.html
I have discussed the packaged food industry's game of shuck-and-jive when it comes to labeling the food you're eating: "organic" peanut butter loaded with hydrogenated palm oil, the high-fructose sugar laden bottled beverage which contains "two servings" as a way of making the calorie count look reasonable, and on and on. Pet food is much more accurately labeled than human food.
I have also discussed how our built environment is not condusive to walking and biking--the easiest ways to get some exercise. The waste, fraud and poor results which result from a litigious, ill-informed, profit-driven society's attempts to "fix" poor health with pills and surgery is too well documented to be worthy of elucidation. Everybody knows this but no one wants to make the sacrifices/trade-offs necessary to get past these barriers.
So we're left arguing about how to pay for a broken system which is heading off a cliff of fiscal insolvency. Rather than talk about reality--that the broken, inefficient, ever-more-costly "healthcare" system is a key driver in why good jobs are disappearing in the U.S., we argue about details--the classic "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic"--as if a cost-based debate will solve poor diet, unhealthy food, sedentary, passive "consumer" media-centric lifestyles, greedy pharmaceutical companies, public hospitals hovering on the brink of financial disaster, and a host of other ills of our system too long to even list here.
So why can't we have an honest discussion of the many causes of this catastrophe? The answer is profit: the immensely profitable web of the food industry, the doctor-owned clinics, the drug companies, the paper-pushers who bilk Medicare, the public "healthcare" companies, etc. If the system were revolutionized to make health an incentive rather than the current system in which ill-health is "the profit center," then all the profitable apple carts would be overturned.
And that is Why The Truth Can't Be Told. Here's one more chart for your review:

Java 7: Understanding the Phaser
Java 7: Understanding the Phaser
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Java 7 introduces a flexible thread synchronization mechanism called Phaser. If you need to wait for threads to arrive before you can continue or start another set of tasks, then Phaser is a good choice. Here is the listing, everything is explained step-by-step.
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Date; import java.util.List; import java.util.concurrent.Phaser; public class PhaserExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException { List<runnable> tasks = new ArrayList<>(); for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) { Runnable runnable = new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { int a = 0, b = 1; for (int i = 0; i < 2000000000; i++) { a = a + b; b = a - b; } } }; tasks.add(runnable); } new PhaserExample().runTasks(tasks); } void runTasks(List<runnable> tasks) throws InterruptedException { final Phaser phaser = new Phaser(1) { protected boolean onAdvance(int phase, int registeredParties) { return phase >= 1 || registeredParties == 0; } }; for (final Runnable task : tasks) { phaser.register(); new Thread() { public void run() { do { phaser.arriveAndAwaitAdvance(); task.run(); } while (!phaser.isTerminated()); } }.start(); Thread.sleep(500); } phaser.arriveAndDeregister(); } }
This example allows to learn a lot about the internals of a Phaser. Let's go through the code:
Line 8: The main-Method that creates two Runnable tasks
Line 29: Task list is passed to the runTasks-Method
The runTasks-Method actually uses a Phaser to synchronize the tasks in a way that each task in the list needs to arrive at the barrier before they are executed in parallel. The task list is executed twice. The first cycle is started when both threads arrived at the barrier (see image mark 1). The second cycle is started when both threads arrived at the barrier (see image mark 2).
Notice: "party" is a term in the Phaser context that is equivalent to what we mean by a thread. When one party arrives, then one thread arrived at the synchronization barrier.
Line 35: create a Phaser that has one registered party (this means: phaser expects one thread=party to arrive before it can start the execution cycle)
Line 36: implement the onAdvance-Method to explain that this task list is executed twice (done by: Line 37 says that it returns true if phase is equal or higher then 1)
Line 41: iterate over the list of tasks
Line 42: register this thread with the Phaser. Notice that a Phaser instance does not know the task instances. It's a simple counter of registered, unarrived and arrived parties, shared across participating threads. If two parties are registered then two parties must arrive at the phaser to be able to start the first cycle.
Line 46: tell the thread to wait at the barrier until the arrived parties equal the registered parties
Line 52: two tasks are registered, in total three parties are registered.
Line 54: deregister one party. This results in two registered parties and two arrived parties. This causes the threads waiting (Line 46) to execute the first cycle. (in fact the third party arrived while three were registered - but it does not make a difference)
The original code snippet stored in my Git repository creates the following output:
After phaser init -> Registered: 1 - Unarrived: 1 - Arrived: 0 - Phase: 0 After register -> Registered: 2 - Unarrived: 2 - Arrived: 0 - Phase: 0 After arrival -> Registered: 2 - Unarrived: 1 - Arrived: 1 - Phase: 0 After register -> Registered: 3 - Unarrived: 2 - Arrived: 1 - Phase: 0 After arrival -> Registered: 3 - Unarrived: 1 - Arrived: 2 - Phase: 0 Before main thread arrives and deregisters -> Registered: 3 - Unarrived: 1 - Arrived: 2 - Phase: 0 On advance -> Registered: 2 - Unarrived: 0 - Arrived: 2 - Phase: 0 After main thread arrived and deregistered -> Registered: 2 - Unarrived: 2 - Arrived: 0 - Phase: 1 Main thread will terminate ... Thread-0:go :Wed Dec 28 16:09:16 CET 2011 Thread-1:go :Wed Dec 28 16:09:16 CET 2011 Thread-0:done:Wed Dec 28 16:09:20 CET 2011 Thread-1:done:Wed Dec 28 16:09:20 CET 2011 On advance -> Registered: 2 - Unarrived: 0 - Arrived: 2 - Phase: 1 Thread-0:go :Wed Dec 28 16:09:20 CET 2011 Thread-1:go :Wed Dec 28 16:09:20 CET 2011 Thread-1:done:Wed Dec 28 16:09:23 CET 2011 Thread-0:done:Wed Dec 28 16:09:23 CET 2011
Line 1: when the Phaser is initialized in line 35 of the code snippet then one party is registered and none arrived
Line 2: after the first thread is registered in Line 42 in the code example there are two registered parties and two unarrived parties. Since no thread reached the barrier yet, no party is arrived.
Line 3: the first thread arrives and waits at the barrier (line 46 in the code snippet)
Line 4: register the second thread, three registered, two unarrived, one arrived
Line 5: the second thread arrived at the barrier, hence two arrived now
Line 7: one party is deregistered in the code line 54 of the code example, therefore onAdvance-Method is called and returns false. This starts the first cycle since registered parties equals arrived parties (i.e. two). Phase 1 is started -> cycle one (see image mark 1)
Line 8: since all threads are notified and start their work, two parties are unarrived again, non arrived
Line 14: After the threads executed their tasks once they arrive again (code line 46) the onAdvance-Method is called, now the 2nd cycle is executed
OK, go through it and look into my comments in the original code snippet to learn more.

It doesn't look good for Setanta Sports. The network, which over the past decade transformed the soccer landscape in the United States by offering more soccer coverage than anyone else, is on its last legs and in the next 72 hours looks likely to be acquired by Fox Soccer Channel.
While on the surface this sounds like good news, I beg to differ. Here's why.
Reading between the lines, the logical explanation for Setanta USA having its Premier League and Champions League coverage removed from the list of sports packages it provides is its inability to pay Fox Soccer Channel for the right to sublicense the content. With rising costs for rights fees and consumers cutting back during this recession, it's difficult for a network to break even let alone make money.
Fox Soccer Channel already owns the U.S. rights to the very costly Premier League and Champions League. If and when Fox acquires Setanta, Fox will pick up rights to other leagues and cups it currently doesn't have such as the Carling Cup, Coca-Cola Championship (which Setanta currently shares with ESPN 360), Lique Un, Russian Premier League, Scottish Premier League, MUTV, Chelsea TV and other tournaments as well as additional sports such as rugby and gaelic football.
However, the million dollar question is what Fox will do with Setanta and these rights. My gut tells me that Fox will acquire Setanta Sports for the rights only and will shut down Setanta. The rights it acquires can then be sub-licensed to ESPN, DirecTV, GolTV and Versus. But there's little guarantee that all of the rights will be picked up by the other broadcasters. Plus if Fox decides to keep some of them, there isn't much available time on its network to show these games especially during an already very congested schedule.
So the net net for soccer fans is that it looks very likely that we'll see the amount of soccer coverage in this country decline if and when Setanta gets gobbled up by Fox. Of course, I could be totally wrong with this but I don't foresee Fox Soccer Channel expanding its programming by using the Setanta Sports and Setanta Xtra channels.
It could be terrible news for soccer fans, but it'll be even worse news for followers of rugby and gaelic sports. Still, until the deal is signed and Fox shares their vision of what they plan on doing, I'll remain hopeful that there's a way to salvage the empire that Setanta built and to provide its programming to soccer fans throughout this great country of ours.

Hope College senior Grace Olamijulo of South Ozone Park, N.Y., has received one of only 15 undergraduate scholarships nationwide to participate in the 24th Annual Conference of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) on Wednesday-Saturday, Oct. 13-16, in Louisville, Ky.
The award, through the 2010 APNA Ortho-McNeil Janssen Scientific Affairs, LLC Student Scholarship Program, is open to students enrolled full-time in a state-approved nursing program leading to licensure as a registered nurse, and who are interested in psychiatric mental health nursing. The scholarship provides registration, travel and lodging expenses, and a stipend for meals and other expenses to attend the conference, as well as a one-year complimentary membership in the APNA. The recipients will also receive national recognition via the APNA website, in conference program materials and through the "Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association."
Olamijulo is a nursing major who is interested in pursuing a doctorate nursing degree and participating in international nursing. While she isn't planning on a career in psychiatric nursing specifically, she notes that her learning experiences have shown her the importance of making patients' psychiatric needs a care consideration regardless of specialty.
"My psychiatric nursing clinical taught by Professor Patricia Walter had a profound effect on my outlook as a future nurse," she said. "It was there that I learned how important it is for every nurse, regardless of specialty area, to consistently try to meet the psychiatric needs of patients. Although I have not decided on a specialty area to pursue I am certain that what I gained from my psychiatric nursing rotation will always impact my work."
Olamijulo is currently participating in a collaborative faculty-student research project in nursing on campus led by Dr. Susan Dunn, associate professor of nursing and chairperson of the department. The goal of the project is to examine the effect that exercise has on feelings of hopelessness and depression in cardiac rehabilitation patients.
In May she was one of seven students who participated in the department's new May Term course in Queretaro, Mexico, and in March she had participated in the department's new spring-break mission trip to the Yucatan Peninsula. She credits the international experience with shaping her career goals.
"I really enjoyed participating in the various new international learning opportunities offered by the nursing program," she said. "I really enjoyed learning Spanish and about the Mexican health care system. Prior to going on the new May Term trip I was certain that I wanted to attend graduate school for nursing. After spending two months in Queretaro, I realized what a joy international nursing really is.

It happens in a lot of new relationships. Every day, you learn something new about each other. It happened with David and Kristen Finch.
"David was quirky," Kristen said. "Always just very sweet and funny, [and] kind of nerdy, but in a cute nerdy way."
"Very sexy nerd," David interjected and, smiling, Kristen agreed.
The two met while attending high school in their small Illinois town and after years as friends, David and Kristen began dating. To Kristen, he was "super boyfriend" – a go with the flow guy who was the life of any social gathering.
"He was entertaining the whole room," said Kristen, age 35. "And it got people laughing."
But, when they married in 2003, the laughter stopped. Kristen was confused.
"I thought, what happened?" she said. "You know, it was almost like night and day after we got married."
Once they were living together, David's actions, once quirky to Kristen now seemed strange. They began to put a strain on their marriage. David, then in his twenties, was obsessed with daily rituals. He would take an hour to make his breakfast. He'd meticulously wash and cut grapes, make his oatmeal and tea. When it came to his eggs, he would line up the carton making it parallel to the countertop and carefully scramble his eggs to make sure the consistency was the same from one day to the next.
WATCH: Kate Snow's full report about Asperger's Syndrome, "The New Normal," from Rock Center with Brian Williams.
David, who was working as an engineer, had an outfit for each season. In the winter, he'd wear a sweatshirt with Eastern printed on it and track pants. In the summer, he'd wear a t-shirt and shorts that became so worn, they developed holes. Every day, he had to wear the same clothes because if he didn't, David said he "would silently freak out."
NBC News
David Finch staring at rooftops, one of the rituals that helps calm him.
"Tension would mount and I couldn't say anything. Pretty soon I'd start snapping at people," he explained in an interview with Kate Snow airing Thursday, Sept. 27 at 10pm/9c on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams.
The rituals would continue until bedtime. Every night, David would stare out the window at his neighbors' rooftops. He found the symmetry calming.
"I have a physiological response," he said. "My shoulders relax. My head calms down and it's kind of nice."
But it wasn't so nice for Kristen. While she took care of the house and their two children, daughter Emily and son Parker, David was fixated on himself. When things didn't go exactly as planned, he'd obsess endlessly. It happened one Thanksgiving when there was garlic in the mashed potatoes. According to David, garlic didn't belong in the mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner.
"I would sit there and I would complain about it," David recounted. "And I'd bring it up constantly to Kristen. And then she would get on my case, because she would be very confused. She thinks I look like a baby and I think this is completely unfair, but I don't know how else to react. And so that would set me off."
In recalling the incident, Kristen said, "I'm thinking how am I going to do this the rest of my life?"
Things were spiraling out of control until March 13, 2008. Kristen, a speech therapist who works with autistic children, was doing research for a client when she came across an online quiz. It was a test of Asperger's Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder characterized by repetitive tendencies, obsessive interest in several narrow subjects, difficulty reading the emotions of others and social difficulties. When she started reading the questions, Kristen says, she realized her husband had Asperger's.
"All of a sudden, the light bulb went off," she said.
David Finch on Asperger's Diagnosis at 31: It was a 'moment of self-recognition'
She had David take the quiz, but didn't tell him why or what it was about. The questions ranged from "Do you find it vitally important to remain undisturbed when you're focusing on your special interests?" to "Do you feel tortured by certain clothes?" The longer the quiz went on, the more personally revealing the questions – and his answers – were.
At the end, the computer tallied his score - 155 out of 200 possible points – and determined it is likely he had Asperger's. He cried.
"I cried because it was this moment of self-recognition I had never had before," he said.
A doctor confirmed his diagnosis and, at age 31, David finally had a reason for his behaviors, and an idea of what may be causing his marriage to suffer. In the same way he obsessed over his neighbor's rooftops, he was now obsessed with fixing himself and his marriage to Kristen. He decided on his own that he needed to modify his behavior.
"I wanted to change," he said. "I wanted to learn how to manage these behaviors. To give myself a better life, to get our marriage back on track and to earn back Kristen's friendship; to be a better dad and to have a more fulfilling life."
But David didn't keep that news to himself. Instead, he decided to go public with his story, writing a memoir which became a New York Times best-seller called "The Journal of Best Practices."
It's not a self-help book, but a book about his journey of self-discovery and his efforts to save his marriage to Kristen. It grew from notes he wrote reminding himself to break out of his head and be more responsive to those around him, be a present husband and father, and pay attention to the needs of other people. He even wrote reminders about simple needs such as not to change the radio station when Kristen is singing along, and as important as taking initiative and being a dad.
"I've made being a better husband, the husband that I want to be, my special interest," the 35-year-old David said. "And it's paying off."
He's seeing results in many areas of his life. One note, "parties are supposed to be fun," reminds David to be good, worthy company at a party. While that may seem like a no-brainer to most, it is a difficult task for David as people with Asperger's often have a difficult time in social situations. Before his diagnosis, the way David would cope in a group was to mimic the behavior of people who he thought did a great job of fitting in. His favorite role was "the comedian."
"In order to socialize, I found it was easiest just to get people laughing," David Finch said. "I would do these ridiculous stunts and jokes, and people loved this."
But getting people laughing, he found, was exhausting and not entirely fulfilling.
"I would keep that up at like manic, frenetic pace for like an hour, and then I would leave the party," he said.
So David began studying not just the great humorists, but great communicators. One of his favorite people to study is radio shock jock, Howard Stern.
"Howard's really an amazingly effective communicator," he said. "What I'm taking away is his system for engaging his listener."
By adopting his pacing and voice modulation, and taking cues from his body language, David says he has become better company.
"What I can do is I can give them a couple of minutes of that [humor], and then I can slow it down," David Finch said. "I can get rid of the shtick and I can really engage in a nice conversation."
David calls this behavior modification, unlearning old behaviors and learning new ones. He is adamant that he is not curing Asperger's, nor does he believe one should. He simply says that he wanted to change and has made it a priority. Now, four years after his diagnosis, David says he's still a work in progress, and Kristen says they met in the middle to put their marriage back on track.
"I guess that was why when we got the diagnosis that I knew that we were going to be ok, because I knew we were both willing to change to make it work," she said.

10 nutrients that can lift your spirits
Vitamins, minerals and fatty acids can boost your mood
The most abundant mineral in the body, calcium plays an important role in maintaining strong bones and healthy blood vessels, and in reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes. Low levels of calcium may play a role in premenstrual-syndrome-related depression in particular. (Sorry, guys, we couldn't find data on whether calcium can also regulate mood fluctuations in men.) Calcium deficiency affects more women than men, so women should take special care to meet the daily requirements.
How eating it helps: Found in a variety of sources (nondairy included), calcium is often paired with Vitamin D to help regulate mood fluctuations attributed to PMS. Since estrogen plays a large role in calcium production, calcium consumption may improve PMS-related depression.
About the units used below: Mg (milligram) is the typical unit of measurement for nutrients, and 1,000 mg equals 1 gram. Mcg is the abbreviation for microgram, and 1,000 mcg equals 1 mg.)
Recommended Daily Allowance, or R DA: 1,000 mg per day for adults
Food sources of calcium :
?Collard greens, frozen (1 cup): 357 mg
?Ricotta, part skim (1 / 2 cup): 308 mg
?Yogurt, plain/low fat (3 / 4 cup): 310 mg
?Milk, low-fat (1 cup): 305 mg
?Kale, frozen (1 cup): 179 mg
A trace mineral found in small amounts in the body, chromium helps metabolize food . A lack of chromium hurts the body's ability to regulate insulin (the hormone that regulates sugar) and may lead to diabetes-related complications such as vision loss and high blood pressure.
How eating it helps: Chromium plays an important role in increasing the brain's level of serotonin, norepinephrine and melatonin, which help regulate emotion and mood. Because chromium works directly with the brain's mood regulators, it's been found to be an effective treatment for depression.
RDA: 25 mcg per day for women; 35 mcg per day for men
Food sources of chromium :
?Broccoli (1 / 2 cup): 11 mcg
?Grape juice (1 cup): 8 mcg
?Whole-wheat English muffin (1 piece): 4 mcg
?Potatoes, mashed (1 cup): 3 mcg
?Turkey breast (1 / 3 cup): 2 mcg
Folate (also known as B9 or folic acid) helps the body create new cells and supports serotonin regulation. Serotonin passes messages between nerve cells and helps the brain manage a variety of functions, from determining mood to regulating social behavior. Folate deficiency can cause fatigue in addition to lowering levels of serotonin.
How eating it helps: A pair of power nutrients, folate and B12, are often paired together to treat depression. By itself, Folate has the added benefit of boosting the efficiency of antidepressants.
RDA: 400 mcg per day for adults
Food sources of folate :
?Spinach (1 / 2 cup): 131 mcg
?Black-eyed peas (1 / 2 cup): 105 mcg
?Asparagus (4 spears): 89 mcg
?Brussels sprouts (1 / 2 cup): 78 mcg
?Avocado (1 / 2 cup): 59 mcg
Iron plays an important role in the body, from transporting oxygen to supporting energy levels and aiding muscle strength. Low levels of iron can lead to feelings of fatigue and depression. Iron deficiency appears more frequently in women than men, especially women of childbearing age.
How eating helps: Consuming enough iron will help prevent iron anemia (not enough iron), a condition that commonly affects women more than men. Keeping enough iron in the body is important, as the fatigue, apathy and mood change associated with iron deficiency can often lead to depression.
RDA: 18 mg per day for women; 8 mg per day for men
Food sources of iron :
?Fortified oatmeal, instant (1 package): 11 mg
?Soybeans (1 cup): 8.8 mg
?Lentils (1 cup): 6.6 mg
?Beef Ribeye (5-oz. fillet): 3.8 mg
?Turkey, dark meat (1 / 3 cup): 2.0 mg
Magnesium is a mineral that plays over 300 roles in maintaining and protecting the body's health. Deficiency can cause irritability, fatigue, mental confusion and predisposition to stress.
How eating it helps: Magnesium plays a large role in the development of serotonin, which is a major contributor to feelings of happiness. Due to magnesium's ability to help regulate emotions, it's a common element in homeopathic remedies for balancing mood.
RDA: 310 mg per day for women; 400 mg per day for men
Food sources of magnesium :
?Almonds (1 / 8 cup): 79 mg
?Spinach (1 / 2 cup): 78 mg
?Cashews (1 / 8 cup): 74 mg
?Peanuts (1 / 4 cup): 63 mg
?Edamame (1 / 2 cup): 50 mg
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that plays an important role in brain health and contributes up to 18 percent of the brain's weight. The body does not naturally produce omega-3, so it needs to be consumed from outside sources. Deficiency symptoms include fatigue, mood swings, memory decline and depression.
How eating it helps: Studies show a correlation between consumption of fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids and a decreased risk of depression and suicide. Whether eating fish or snacking on chia seeds, increasing your intake of omega-3 fatty acids may help combat depression.
RDA: There is no established RDA for omega-3s, but the American Heart Association suggests eating a variety of fish (trout, herring and salmon) at least twice a week. For vegetarians, there are also plenty of non-meat sources of omega-3s.
Food sources of omega-3 :
?Chia seeds (1 / 8 cup): 4,915 mg
?Atlantic salmon (1 / 2 fillet): 3,982 mg
?Chinese broccoli (1 cup): 227 mg
?Atlantic herring (5-oz. fillet): 3,171 mg
?Spinach (1 cup): 381 mg
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 helps the production of neurotransmitters (which send messages from the brain to the rest of the body). Deficiency in B6 can cause short-term anemia; long-term effects include a weakened immune system, confusion and depression.
How eating it helps: Consuming Vitamin B6 is essential for regulating brain function, which influences our emotions. In addition to regulating healthy moods, Vitamin B6 is also an effective method for treating premenstrual depression.
RDA: 1.3 mg per day for adults
Food sources of B6:
?Chickpeas, canned (1 cup): 1.1 mg
?Yellowfin tuna (1 / 3 cup): 0.9 mg
?Salmon (3-oz. fillet): 1 mg
?Chicken breast, skinless and boneless (1 piece): 0.5 mg
?Fortified breakfast cereals (3 / 4 cup): 0.5 mg
Vitamin B12
B12 is an essential element that aids in the creation of red blood cells and nerves. Low levels of B12 can cause short-term fatigue, slowed reasoning and paranoia, and are associated with depression. Vitamin B-12 is found naturally in meats, eggs and animal byproducts, which means that vegetarians and vegans have an increased risk of developing a deficiency.
How eating it helps: Because moods depend largely on signals from the brain, B12 plays an important role in regulating depression: Consuming enough Vitamin B12 allows the body to synthesize a group of nutrients critical for normal neurological function.
RDA: 2.4 mcg per day for adults
Food sources of B12:
?Rainbow trout (1 fillet): 9 mcg
?Sockeye salmon (3-oz. fillet): 17.6 mcg
?Swiss cheese (1 / 8 cup): 4.4 mcg
?Mozzarella cheese (1 / 8 cup): 3.0 mcg
?Tuna, in water (3.5-oz. can): 2.5 mcg
Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps regulate cell growth, plays an important role in maintaining the immune system and (when paired with calcium) protects bones. Studies show that low levels of Vitamin D are associated with depressive symptoms in both men and women. Most often, lowered levels of Vitamin D are the result of indoor lifestyles, limited sun exposure and inadequate intake of Vitamin-D-rich foods.
How eating it helps: If you're feeling blue, increasing Vitamin D could help ward off depression. Consuming the mood-regulating vitamin is important, especially during the wintertime when light from the sun (a natural producer of Vitamin D) is limited.
RDA: 600 IU per day for adults ages 15 to 60. (IU, or international unit, is a type of measurement typically reserved for vitamins A, C, D and E.)
Food sources of Vitamin D:
?Cod liver oil (1 tablespoon): 1,360 IU
?Salmon (3-oz. fillet): 646 IU
?Swordfish (1 / 3 cup): 566 IU
?Chanterelle mushrooms (1 cup): 114 IU
?Milk (1 cup): 115-124 IU
Zinc is found in almost every cell and plays an important role in supporting a healthy immune system and helping the body protect the gut from damage. Low levels of zinc in the diet can lead to a variety of ailments, including a weakened immune system, loss of appetite, anemia, hair loss and depression. Vegetarians need as much as 50 percent more zinc than non-vegetarians due to the body's lower absorption rate of plant-based zinc.
How eating it helps: Studies have identified zinc as an important factor in decreasing depressive symptoms, as the vitamin can improve the response of antidepressants while reducing the side effects of antidepressant medication. A lack of zinc can trigger depressive behaviors, so load up on zinc-rich foods to balance your mood.
RDA: 11 mg per day for men; 8 mg per day for women
Food sources of zinc:
?Roasted pumpkin seeds (1 cup): 9.5 mg
?Cashews, dry roasted (1 cup): 7.67 mg
?King Alaska crab (1 leg): 10.2 mg
?Pork loin (6-7 oz.): 3.5 mg
?Swiss cheese (1 / 8 cup): 1.2 mg

MUMBAI, INDIA – 13 Jul, 2017 – Robby Wells, the U.S. Democratic Party's Presidential candidate for the 2020 elections who was the Guest of Honour and put-up an inspiring speech at the Paris Appreciation Awards 2017 which was held atop the iconic Wonder of the World, the Eiffel Tower. The event was organised and executed by La Marque advertising and marketing agency, Paris.
Wells appreciated the fact that this event will be recorded in history as the first ever awards programme to have been held on any Wonder of the World and chose the wonderful and iconic Eiffel Tower to formally announce and introduce himself to the world community of his 2020 US Presidential campaign, christened as RiseUp.
The august audience present at this unique awards event were spellbound by the speech which was as inspiring as it was forthright in its appeal as Wells touched upon burning issues of international concern like the Paris Agreement and global terror. He further stated that not only will America ensure and secure peace and happiness for its people. He would also look to ensure that the terror groups would be annihilated and contained in order to ensure world peace.
Satish Reddy, the Managing Director of the World News Network, under whose initiative the event was held, quipped, "We are honoured and extremely happy that the US Presidential candidate has chosen our awards event at this iconic and marvellous venue on top of the Eiffel Tower to formally announce to the international community at large and the American people back home of his election Campaign, "A big thank you to this amazing personality. World News Network wishes him stupendous success with his RiseUp Campaign."

Hi Everyone!
Talk about timing being everything!
I hope that many of you have viewed the recent episode on NBC's "Who Do You think You Are?" that featured the ancestral search by Jason Sudeikis of Saturday Night Live fame.
I had to do a double-take as I was watching the show because during the show who did I see make an onscreen appearance as one of the leading genealogy experts guiding Jason Sudeikis in his ancestral quest?
None other than our speaker for our own upcoming genealogy program on July 10, 2012, Jeanne Larzalere Bloom! How do you like that for a now famous on-screen genealogy star advisor! Look for Jeanne at about the 5 minute mark of the show meeting with Jason Sudeikis at the Chicago History Museum. She also has another meeting with Jason Sudeikis later in the program.
Jeanne will be making an appearance at our own library this upcoming July 10, 2012 to present her program titled "Hiring A Professional Genealogist".
I did mention to Jeanne that I wished I had known of her upcoming appearance on the famous show so that I could have shared it with all of you in advance of the airing. However, Jeanne did indicate that she was under the strictest of a "confidentiality agreement" with NBC and was precluded from making it known to anyone that she would be on the show. And boy did Jeanne hold fast to that agreement by not sharing she would be seen on the show.
If you missed the original airing of the show with Jeanne and Jason Sudeikis, you can always see the show online via the NBC website. You can get to this show via the following link:
Jason Sudeikis On "Who Do You Think You Are?" With Jeanne Larzalere Bloom
I feel so honored that we will have such a TV personality as Jeanne Larzalere Bloom make a presentation at our library. Again, timing is everything to have Jeanne at our library just a couple of months after her making such a memorable appearance on "Who Do You Think You Are?
Take a look at the show if you have not already seen it or even if you have revisit it again prior to seeing Jeanne in person at our own library on Tuesday evening, July 10, 2012.
I look forward to having our own star in person on that day!

Soft computing
Soft computing has experienced major advances in actuator and sensor technology, computing technology, and the emergence of a collection of new tools that can solve problems in an unconventional yet effective way:
- Artificial neural networks are constructed from identical data processing elements arranged in some regular pattern. These networks exhibit surprising abilities to capture non-linear relationships among variables, perform pattern classification and feature extraction, and encode associate memory, among others.
- Fuzzy logic can emulate human-like rule-based operations using linguistic terms such as "if it starts to become hot, turn the temperature down a little bit."
- Genetic algorithms give us a new way to perform optimization without actually solving equations in the traditional sense.
Other soft computing techniques such as DNA computing and simulated annealing are also very intriguing. Our research finds ways to apply these tools to problems such as the control of a magneto-hydrodynamic power generators for hypersonic aircraft, and the evolution of a robot's rule base for obstacle avoidance and target acquisition.

Lost Sleep and 'Cyberloafing'
Believe it or not, children, there used to be a time when, in order to waste time at work, you had to sneak away from your desk — or, equally unsubtle, unfold a newspaper or make a personal phone call. The rise of the web as an all-purpose news-and-entertainment hub has changed all that: At least in the white-collar world, loafing now looks, from a few paces, indistinguishable from hard work. Naturally, this presents fresh problems for managers even as March Madness pools run ever more smoothly.
Beginning with the assumption that loafing represents a lack of a mental discipline, and that discipline wears down when one's resources are taxed, researchers recently explored whether cyberloafing (their term) was connected to a lack of sleep — as they suspected it was.
In a first test, they used the shift to daylight-savings time as a proxy for lost sleep: Using Google search logs, they looked at the proportion of Google searches for "YouTube," "videos," "music," and "ESPN" — classic loafer fare —on the Monday after the shift to daylight-savings time, in 200 U.S. cities; then they compared the figure to the corresponding one for the previous and subsequent Mondays (when sleep would presumably be undisrupted). They did this for the years 2004 to 2009.* And, indeed, it turned out that entertainment-related searches were 3.1% higher on the Mondays when people were probably sleep-deprived than on the previous Monday, and 6.4% higher than on the next Monday.**….

Richard C necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 730 diseños de 144 diseñadores freelance.
Gambit Research LLP
We're a software company based in London.
We want a logo which is all about hiring bright people, not selling stuff to customers.
Create us a logo which attracts clever software developers to an environment which is run by programmers not salesmen.
We're a relaxed, fun - some might say almost geeky - company and the logo should reflect this.
The focus is technology. We happen to apply some of our software to fields involving sport, but there is to be a blanket ban on anything sports related in the logo. Strictly verboten.
On that note, disregard any themes on our current website. That's not the image we're trying to convey. In fact, we're redesigning that from scratch too, and we'll post a brief for that once we have a suitable logo.
Top-notch software developers looking for a job. We particularly want to attract Python and Erlang programmers who work with Unix and not Microsoft Windows.
We're appealing to the sort of people who who have a passion for writing software and work for a company where they can do so rather than spending their lives in meetings.
If you have any questions please send us a message and we will give continual feedback.
A new logo for our website which we could use on our letterheads and business cards too.
A logo which plays on the lettering in company name is a possibility, although certainly not obligatory.
It will sometimes need to be rendered in black and white to go on stationery, so the choice of colour scheme shouldn't make that impossible.
The goal is to make it clean and crisp and not overly corporate.
We like:
- http://creattica.com/creatives/ethe…sler/14871
- http://creattica.com/creatives/alfr…eclat/1412
They have some bite (we'd prefer more). They're fairly pithy and at least they're not looking like some deadly dull corporate monstrosity's logo.
- http://images.google.co.uk/images?&…0lissitzky
Some of the typography in Soviet posters is good, but we're not trying to recreate a tourist marketplace for soviet kitsch. Clean, geometric designs. Geometry, maths, that sort of stuff.
- Edward Tufte's work
He's interested in ways of conveying data elegantly in images.
Although we clearly don't want a pie chart as our logo, the idea of something data-orientated, scientific and technical is appealing.
- http://designmuseum.org/design/frank-pick
The early design on the London Underground had a wonderful way of elegantly expressing sometimes complex concepts.
We don't like:
- http://www.goodlogo.com/extended.info/3020
It's a big monolithic logo which shouts the name of the company like it's the most important thing in the world. Functional, no more.
- http://www.goodlogo.com/extended.info/2920
- http://www.goodlogo.com/extended.info/3173
Again, uninspiring, hackneyed, the sort of things salesmen like, not programmers.
- http://creattica.com/logos/tulipae/32491
Too flowery!
- http://creattica.com/logos/blur/32397
Just trying a little bit too hard to be hip and attract the youth market. We're not trying to sell tickets to a nightclub.
- http://creattica.com/logos/laxgator/31546
Scares us to death.

|PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 9.0.1
Part Number A89856-01
PL/SQL Language Elements, 35 of 52
OPEN-FOR-USING statement associates a cursor variable with a multi-row query, executes the query, identifies the result set, positions the cursor before the first row in the result set, then zeroes the rows-processed count kept by
%ROWCOUNT. For more information, see "Using the OPEN-FOR, FETCH, and CLOSE Statements".
This identifies a weakly typed cursor variable (one without a return type) previously declared within the current scope.
This is an expression whose value is passed to the dynamic
SELECT statement.
This is a string literal, variable, or expression that represents a multi-row
SELECT statement.
This identifies a cursor variable declared in a PL/SQL host environment and passed to PL/SQL as a bind variable. The datatype of the host cursor variable is compatible with the return type of any PL/SQL cursor variable. Host variables must be prefixed with a colon.
This optional clause specifies a list of bind arguments. At run time, bind arguments in the
USING clause replace corresponding placeholders in the dynamic
SELECT statement.
You use three statements to process a dynamic multi-row query:
FETCH, and
CLOSE. First, you
OPEN a cursor variable
FOR a multi-row query. Then, you
FETCH rows from the result set. When all the rows are processed, you
CLOSE the cursor variable.
The dynamic string can contain any multi-row
SELECT statement (without the terminator). The string can also contain placeholders for bind arguments. However, you cannot use bind arguments to pass the names of schema objects to a dynamic SQL statement.
Every placeholder in the dynamic string must be associated with a bind argument in the
USING clause. Numeric, character, and string literals are allowed in the
USING clause, but Boolean literals (
NULL) are not. To pass nulls to the dynamic string, you must use a workaround. See "Passing Nulls".
Any bind arguments in the query are evaluated only when the cursor variable is opened. So, to fetch from the cursor using different bind values, you must reopen the cursor variable with the bind arguments set to their new values.
Dynamic SQL supports all the SQL datatypes. For example, bind arguments can be collections,
LOBs, instances of an object type, and refs. As a rule, dynamic SQL does not support PL/SQL-specific types. For instance, bind arguments cannot be Booleans or index-by tables.
In the following example, we declare a cursor variable, then associate it with a dynamic
SELECT statement that returns rows from the
emp table:
DECLARE TYPE EmpCurTyp IS REF CURSOR; -- define weak REF CURSOR type emp_cv EmpCurTyp; -- declare cursor variable my_ename VARCHAR2(15); my_sal NUMBER := 1000; BEGIN OPEN emp_cv FOR -- open cursor variable 'SELECT ename, sal FROM emp WHERE sal > :s' USING my_sal; ... END;

Ariz. killer charged in slaying of correctional officer
Jesse Con-ui was indicted four months to the day after CO Eric Williams was brutally murdered
By Bob Kalinowski
The Citizens' Voice
Wilkes-Barre, Pa. — Four months to the day since a federal correctional officer from Nanticoke was savagely killed on duty, a federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a gang-affiliated prison lifer on charges of premeditated murder.
The indictment out of U.S. District Court in Scranton charges Jessie Con-ui, 36, with first-degree murder, first-degree murder of a federal corrections officer and possessing contraband in prison for the Feb. 25 slaying of Correctional Officer Eric Williams at the United States Penitentiary at Canaan in Wayne County.
Armed with a homemade knife, Con-ui ambushed and brutalized an unsuspecting Williams by "repeatedly stabbing and striking him with weapons and repeatedly kicking, stomping and slamming him about the head, face, and torso," according to the indictment, signed by U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith.
Con-ui, an enforcer for the notoriously deadly New Mexican Mafia prison gang who was already serving life for a murder in Arizona, could face the death penalty if convicted.
"It's four months. Today is the anniversary," Williams' mother Jean said in a brief telephone conversation Tuesday. "We knew the day was coming. We were just patiently waiting."
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment about the indictment, referring to a news release announcing the charges. The U.S. Justice Department, which oversees federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, also declined comment.
In past conversations with The Citizens' Voice, Williams' colleagues provided a more detailed account of the attack. An inmate, they said, blindsided Williams as he worked alone, making rounds, for nightly lockdown just before 10 p.m. The attacking inmate, they said, hurled the 34-year-old down a set of steps and pounced, beating him and repeatedly stabbing him with a crude, knife-like weapon known as a "shank."
"Before he could even react, the inmate was on him," one fellow Canaan correctional officer lamented.
A possible motive, if any, was not included in charging documents.
Hired on Sept. 11, 2011 after spending years as a police officer and working security, Williams was the 25th federal correctional officer killed in the line of duty since 1901 and the first since two inmates ambushed Jose Rivera at a federal prison in Atwater, Calif., in June 2008.
Con-ui was jailed at Canaan at the time of Williams' death on an 11-year sentence for his role in his gang's Arizona drug trafficking operation.
Con-ui was scheduled to complete the federal sentence in September and would have immediately been returned to Arizona to begin serving a life term for murdering a gang rival in Arizona in 2002.
Immediately after the killing, prison officials moved Con-ui to the U.S. Penitentiary at Allenwood, a high-security facility near Williamsport. In late April, they moved him again to ADX Florence, the supermaximum security prison in Colorado known as the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," which houses more than 400 of the most ruthless criminals in federal custody, including Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols and Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.
Con-ui's court-appointed attorneys, James Swetz of Stroudsburg and Mark F. Fleming of San Diego, Calif., did not return telephone and email messages Tuesday.
Darrell Palmer, the president of the union representing correctional officers at the Canaan prison, said Williams' colleagues were pleased charges have finally been filed. He said they collectively wish for a conviction and the ultimate punishment.
"Hopefully everything will go as planned and the death penalty will be implemented. That is what everybody's hope is," Palmer said. "Anyone who walks the walls of Canaan definitely wants it."
Since Williams' death, The Citizens' Voice has published a series of stories under the banner "Crisis at Canaan" detailing the attack, life as a correctional officer and the struggle between the union and federal officials to balance safety and costs.
Williams' killing shined a national light on unsafe working conditions for federal correctional officers, according to union leaders. Since a 2005 policy change to save money, officers like Williams work alone in housing units with up to 150 inmates. At the time of Williams' death, he was equipped only with keys, handcuffs and a radio. Canaan was not among the handful of federal prisons involved in a pilot program to arm officers with pepper spray. Three days after Williams' slaying, the Bureau of Prisons expanded the pilot program to include all 20 of the nation's high-security prisons, including Canaan.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder eulogized Williams at his funeral March 2 in Nanticoke, vowing to punish the killer and make federal prisons safer. Union officials lauded Holder for his decision on March 22 to block impending furloughs of correctional officers by transferring $150 million of department funds to maintain staffing levels.
But that wasn't and isn't enough, Dale Deshotel, national union president for the American Federation of Government Employees, Council of Prison Locals, said Tuesday.
Williams' death highlighted why no officer should be left alone in a housing unit of inmates and why a second correctional officer must be returned to each cell block, he said. A second officer, he said, may have saved Williams' life.
"There's no way we could continue to function this way," Deshotel said. "The inmates know we're vulnerable."
As for Tuesday's charges against Con-ui, Deshotel said it's "a step in the right direction for justice for Eric and his family."
"Our officers should not be subject to that kind of brutality and violence," he said, advocating quicker prosecutions and tougher sentences for inmates who harm staff. "We have to do something to give these inmates the idea our officers are off limits."
