Cuomo wants to bring back college courses for convicts in prison Prison inmates are eligible for mainly high school-level courses. They used to be eligible for state college tuition assistance money until the program was stopped by then-Gov. Pataki in 1995. Under Cuomo’s plan to provide associate’s and bachelor's degrees behind bars, the state will fund college programs in 10 prisons. Comments (24) By Glenn Blain AND Kenneth Lovett / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Sunday, February 16, 2014, 11:46 PM More New York prison inmates could done graduation caps like this one if Gov. Cuomo starts college courses for inmates back up. He says having associate's and bachelor's degrees prevent ex-cons from breaking the law again.

Cuomo's gun law Think twice before rolling the dice ALBANY — Hoping to cut down on recidivism rates, Gov. Cuomo on Sunday announced a plan for New York state to again begin funding college courses for inmates. "Giving men and women in prison the opportunity to earn a college degree costs our state less and benefits our society more," Cuomo said. Cuomo made the announcement at a church event in Albany tied to the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus. Currently, New York’s inmate population is 49.2% African American, 24% Hispanic and 24.1% white. Prison inmates are eligible for mainly high school-level courses. They used to be eligible for state college tuition assistance money until the program was stopped by then-Gov. Pataki in 1995. A small program known as the Bard Prison Initiative, which is privately funded, provides college-level courses to a small group of inmates at six prisons across the state. Cuomo aides say that recidivism rates for those who went through the Bard initiative is 4%, compared to overall 40% for rate statewide. RELATED: COST OF INMATE IN NYC ALMOST AS MUCH AS IVY LEAGUE TUITION Under the Cuomo measure to provide associate's and bachelor's degrees behind bars, the state will fund college programs in 10 prisons that encompass every region of the state. It's unclear just how much the program will cost. But Cuomo noted that it costs $60,000 to a house a prisoner each year — more than "it takes to send a person to Harvard for the year" — compared to $5,000 annually to provide them college education. Mike Groll/AP 'Someone who leaves prison with a college degree has a real shot at a second lease on life because their education gives them the opportunity to get a job and avoid falling back into a cycle of crime,' New York Gov. Cuomo says. If such programs can cut down on recidivism, the state will see big savings, he said. "Someone who leaves prison with a college degree has a real shot at a second lease on life because their education gives them the opportunity to get a job and avoid falling back into a cycle of crime," Cuomo said. The state will soon send out requests for proposals to education associations that provide college professors and classes that are interested in running the program. RELATED: NEW FILM FEATURES FORMER INMATES' SUCCESS STORIES The plan won praise from minority lawmakers and inmate advocates. Former inmate Anthony Cardenales, 39, of the Bronx, earned degrees from Bard College during his 16-year prison sentence on manslaughter charges. He is now vice president of an electronics recycling company in Mount Vernon. "I think the degree is the foundation that enabled me to truly be successful," he said. But State Sen. Martin Golden, a Brooklyn Republican and retired NYPD officer, opposes diverting taxpayer dollars for inmate college courses and is skeptical it will reduce recidivism. "I got my degree at Attica — that will be the new bumper sticker slogan, Golden said. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/cuomo-resurrect-college-cons-article-1.1616804#ixzz2tdO7yHtY

I learned a lesson when I hadn't used the indoor/outdoor thermometer and had my Sears freezer crap out after having it for only 13 months . The freezer temp is right in front of me now ( 7.1 degrees ) .

Looked at it on the home computer . Pretty neat !

The apartment fridges are good for beer storage and they are inexpensive . A lot of college kids have them in their dorms and sell them cheap when they graduate ...............

I have a $10 indoor / outdoor thermometer with the outdoor sending unit in my venison freezer and the receiver here next to my computer .

This was posted by Belo yesterday .

I found the chest freezers to be less expensive . I have 2 of the 7 cu ft freezers and paid less that $200 for each one . We have a Gibson upright freezer that we bought in 1969 and that baby still works like a charm . I hope I didn't jinx it . Check Craig's List and you might find a good buy . Only problem with that is moving it .

I started shooting rifled slugs through a rifled barrel over 20 years ago with my 12 ga Winchester 1200 . Never had a problem taking deer with it . My longest take was just over 100 yards . Never had a problem with any lead build-up as my mother gave me something to counter act that ...... a jar of elbow grease !

When we limed my son's property , we bought the pelletized lime in , I think , 40 pound bags . We bought something like 30 bags at a time and Country Max gave us a discount due to the quantity . Check it out .

I havn't watched any of it yet .....

Toxic Fixed Blade - Has anyone tried these ? Start shooting tighter groups and see field point accuracy with the Toxic Broadhead by Flying Arrow Archery. This advanced broadhead is surgically sharp and offers extreme accuracy. These broadheads feature a unique low profile which reduces wind drag which makes for more accurate shots while in tough conditions, the low profile also makes arrow flight extremely quiet. The Toxic Broadheads do not have any moving parts, set screws, or rubber bands so there is less chance for failure while in the field. What makes the Toxic Broadhead second to none is its 5" of cutting surface which leaves a wound channel that has been described by a surgeon as a "Radical Core Decompression" wound - the most lethal of wounds

Yes , this was discussed at length some time ago . I bought "The Rock" thermos and it is the best one I have ever had . Better than my Stanley . Here is the old link : http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/12814-thurmos-help/
