SACRAMENTO — Demonstrating that creativity can flourish even during confinement, artworks by California inmates are on display at the California State Capitol through Jan. 25 outside the Governor’s Office in the annex hallway.
The exhibit, “Beyond the Blue,” features 15 diverse artworks evoking the prison experience, personal expression and transformation. The artworks were created by students participating in rehabilitative Prison Arts Collective (PAC) classes taught inside state prisons. PAC is made possible by a contract through Californi...
Artist instructors will be available to discuss the program with the public on Jan. 22 from 10:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Artworks can be viewed during the Capitol’s public hours, on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
PAC was founded by Annie Buckley, a professor of visual studies at California State University, San Bernardino. While there are many rehabilitation methods, she said art is special.
PAC is one of 16 Arts in Corrections organizations. All the organizations offer structured art classes taught by professional artists, allowing inmates to earn good-time credits and Rehabilitative Achievement Credits for their participation.

Showing the creativity of art work is the most important of all. People have thrust for the acknowledgement of their art work. They get very little chance to show that off. The prisoner get less chance of this. It is a very good thinking by the law department of SACRAMENTO. Now turn over the fact, you can visit this we...

Inmates set to hold work stoppages, hunger strikes, and sit-in protests in massive nationwide action.
Video of What can US prisoners achieve through a national strike?
Inmates in prisons across the United States are preparing to take part in a national protest aimed at bringing urgent reform to a system they say abuses and exploits them.
The National Prisoners Strike kicks off on August 21 and is expected to run for 20 days. The strike is being led by Jailhouse Lawyers Speak, an incarcerated group of prisoner rights advocates, and is supported by several other pro-reform groups. The action was first called in April, following a riot at a state prison f...
Among the demands of protesters are “immediate” improvements to prison conditions, that fair wages be paid to inmates for their labour, the possibility of parole for all prisoners, and the restoration of voting rights to felons. Those taking part in the strike will hold labour stoppages, sit-ins, hunger strikes and spe...
Conditions in US prisons have long been criticised by reform advocates. At present almost 2.3 million people are held in various correctional facilities and immigration detention centres in the US. Violence is a daily fact of life for many inmates, with an estimated 19 percent of male prisoners saying they have been as...
Organisers of the forthcoming national strike say it will solidify and refine a spirit of protest that was shown in a national strike two years ago. In that protest, more than 24,000 prisoners in a dozen states took part. But, in the era of the Trump administration, what will be different this time? Join the conversati...

The country added 71,131 immigrants in the final three months of 2018, for a full year increase of 321,065, according to the latest estimates released Thursday by Statistics Canada in Ottawa. The annual increase is the largest since 1913 -- when 401,000 immigrants flocked to the country -- and the fourth largest in his...
The inflows helped the nation's population growth top half a million people for the first time since the late 1950s, the statistics agency said, and are part of a boom in international migration that includes a surge in non-permanent residents like foreign students. It's been a welcome tailwind for an economy coping wi...
The increase in international migration, for example, has helped fuel a surge in employment -- even amid sluggish indicators in other parts of the economy -- since immigrants tend to be of working age. Including other forms of migration such as non-permanent residents, the country recorded a 425,245 increase in interna...
The immigration numbers include regular refugee inflows, but not those crossing the border illegally. Those are counted as non-permanent residents. The Statistics Canada data don't provide a breakdown of refugee numbers.
The influx helped Canada's population grow by 528,421 last year, which is the biggest increase since the late 1950s, Statistics Canada said. In percentage terms, Canada's population increased 1.4 percent last year, the fastest since 1990 and the strongest among Group of Seven countries.
The strong immigration numbers also make up for slower natural population growth. Canada's natural population increase, or the number of births less deaths, fell to 103,176 in 2018, the lowest level since at least the late 1940s.
Negotiations over key legislation is usually done behind closed door. On Tuesday, so too was a bill signing.
ALBANY — Negotiations over the state budget and key legislation are usually done behind closed doors at the state Capitol. On Tuesday, so, too, was a bill signing.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo privately signed a bill to outlaw child marriage of minors under age 17, making good on a pledge earlier this month to put the measure into law.
But Cuomo held the event with lawmakers and advocates behind closed doors in the ornate Red Room without advising the Capitol press corps about it.
It was first made public after attendees sent out pictures on Twitter about the event, which showed Cuomo signing the bill with his aides and lawmakers at his side. His office soon after sent out a news release about the bill signing.
Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi downplayed the omission of the press at the event.
"We offered some photos with advocates and the legislators on this issue, which we've done with other bills before. That's all this was," Azzopardi said.
The legislative session is set to end Wednesday for the year, and Cuomo did not take questions from reporters Tuesday about end-of-session negotiations.
Blair Horner, legislative director for the New York Public Interest Research Group, criticized Cuomo's closed-door bill signing, calling it another example of the lack of transparency in state government.
"Albany is a secret place, and in this administration, the curtains have been kept shut tight," Horner said.
The new law will ban marriages of minors under age 17 and require court approvals for those aged 17 who want to get married. The previous law allowed people as young as 14 to get married.
Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, D-Scarsdale, Westchester County, sponsored the bill and attended the private bill signing. She said she was asked by Cuomo's office to attend and didn't know it would be closed to the press.
She said the new law will impact young people's lives, particularly girls who may be forced into marriage.
"Today we changed the destiny of so many young New Yorkers by giving them an opportunity for a bright future," Paulin said.

If earnestness and youthful enthusiasm guaranteed success, the Variety Arts Theater would have its first long-running smash. It’s more likely, however, that “Bring in the Morning,” a collection of songs inspired by an inner-city high school writing program, will find its future in youth theaters and school auditoriums.
Perhaps that’s as it should be. “Bring in the Morning” is based on writings from New York’s Poets in Public Service program, in which professional writers visit schools, hospitals, rehab centers and homes for unwed mothers to encourage youngsters to put their feelings to paper. Though the musings here are heartfelt , r...
Lyricist Herb Schapiro and composer Gary William Friedman reprise the technique that brought them success more than two decades ago with “The Me Nobody Knows.” The poems and stories, usually melding gritty urban reality with an inspirational message, are given pop musical theater sheen and delivered with the heightened...
The combination is more than suitable for school stages. During its Off Broadway life, though, “Morning” will have to work as hard as its energetic cast to find an audience. The show’s obvious target is the age group of its late-teen characters. But that audience will no doubt find the show-tune balladry old-fashioned,...
And despite such topical subject matter as AIDS, teenage pregnancy, bystander shootings and a host of other urban ills, the production has moments that are jarringly out of step with the hip-hop culture it chronicles, none more silly than a song about HIV and sexual abuse set to the beat of, of all things, a tango.
“Bring in the Morning” does have its share of bright spots, though, thanks mostly to its cast. Unlike the young writers whose work inspired the songs, the performers are professionals with credits from commercials to “Miss Saigon.” Two of the singers stand out — Inaya Jafa’n and Steven X. Ward — giving rousing performa...
As might be expected, the lyrics are a mixed bag, ranging from public service announcement jargon and adolescent weightiness to some truly clever surprises. In the latter category is “Not Your Cup of Tea,” in which an Asian girl debunks more than a few stereotypes, and “I’m on My Way,” a “Dreamgirls”-like showstopper.
Although Ken Foy’s drab alley set holds no interest, “Morning” has been given an otherwise slick production. Maybe even too slick. This musical might be better served with a more intimate, underproduced feel in which the modest sentiments aren’t lost under showbiz trappings. High school drama teachers, take note.

Air University’s Barnes Center for Enlisted Education graduated Noncommissioned Officer Academy “mega” class 19 Alpha One on Dec. 20, 2018, showcasing total force coordination and support in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael.
In the wake of the hurricane, the Air Force’s educational and professional development of NCOs was going to be severely impacted, according to Col. James Dryjanski, Barnes Center commander. Through coordination across multiple installations and institutions, students scheduled to attend class at Tyndall Air Force Base’...
The Barnes Center’s Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy on Gunter Annex hosted two classes combined.
According to Keys, NCOA classes are commonly taught by a peer who may not even have the same amount or even less experience in the Air Force as the students. For them to be able to learn from the SNCOA instructors, who each usually have around 15 to 20 years of Air Force experience, made for an invaluable PME opportuni...
In order to properly train this amount of students, the SNCOA brought in five NCOA instructors from various schools around the Air Force to assist with the teaching of the curriculum.
At the current moment, plans for Tyndall to once again receive these students is uncertain. AU’s SNCOA has said that they are prepared to host NCOA students again if necessary.

Allow me a slight tangent to give you a little set up for my review of Sound Shapes. Jim Henson was only ever nominated for one Academy Award: Best Short Film for “Time Piece.” The short is a surreal mélange of animation, stock footage, and images of Henson himself as a figure hunted by his own mortality.

Queasy Games’ Sound Shapes for PlayStation Vita and PS3 does the same. Its five “albums” of levels, wrought by different musicians and artists, are too random and discordant at first to be pleasurable as more than just some tight platforming levels. The game slowly reveals its order though, with music, implied story, a...
No matter what you make in Sound Shapes, the rules of the game are the same. You control a little glowing ball that pops out of a turntable at the beginning of the stage. The goal is to reach another turntable at the end of the stage, collecting coins as you go. Each coin adds a note to the song playing throughout the ...
Getting from turntable A to turntable B isn’t easy in the campaign. Any red object in the environment, whether a puffing little cloud guy or just an abstract shape, can kill you in a single hit, and the coins in each stage are (ideally) hidden in clever ways.
The campaign’s albums are all strong in their own ways, and significantly different from one another. “Hello, World” with graphics by Capybara Games’ Vic Nguyen, and music by Shapes co-creator Shaw Han Liem as I Am Robot and Proud, is bouyant and abstract, all primary colors and sweetly melancholic tunes in levels that...
Completing the stages unlocks the materials and sounds in them to build your own stages and they’re also tutorials on the versatility of the tools at hand. You can go and build something slow paced and tranquil or viciously hard and driving if you want. It’s all at your fingertips, literally in the case of the Vita con...
The instruments unlocked by the campaign albums aren’t always clearly synthesized tones though. Some just sound like skittering record scratches, others like a hammers striking, and some sound like warped banjo strings getting plucked. Many change depending on where they’re placed on the scale to boot. It takes a lot o...
The test now will be how the toolbox is used. There are a smattering of user-made levels already online, some of which are even made by the game’s mastermind Jonathan Mak himself, but none of them are as thoroughly realized or affecting as those in the campaign. Sound Shapes provides a sampling of “Time Piece” style ch...

Former CNN commentator Lou Dobbs running a third-party campaign for a New Jersey Senate seat in 2012 – $3 million.
Dobbs running for president in 2012 – $730 million.
Dobbs appealing to Latinos as their political champion – priceless.
In an interview with Telemundo, Dobbs said the United States needs “the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions.” This is the same Dobbs who stubbornly stood by an inaccurate report claiming illegal immigrants were responsible for a spike in U.S. leprosy cases.
Now, as a potential political candidate, Dobbs claims he was misunderstood. And, oh yeah, it was someone else’s fault.
Even if you’re a fan of Lou Dobbs (actually, especially if you’re a fan), you have to be embarrassed by his waffling on the single issue that gave him notoriety – illegal immigration.
If he does decide to mount a campaign for elective office, you can expect a crash course in Spanish pronunciation, a beard, a tan and maybe even a few guayabera shirts. Even then, there’s not a Hispanic voter in America who’s going to confuse Dobbs with the most interesting man in the world.
Split sleeves create an elegant garment that you can actually get in and out of.

It offers all the practicality of two separate pieces while giving the chic, elongating effect of one seamless garment.

The legal dispute between CBS and National Amusements Inc. continued Tuesday as Shari Redstone’s NAI filed suit in Delaware seeking to block the CBS board of directors from diluting NAI’s voting control of the company.
The suit comes on the heels of a vote by the CBS board on May 17 to approve a dividend that would reduce National Amusements’ voting control from about 80% to 17%.
