Computer-animated comedy adventure. Lucas Nickle (voice of Zach
Tyler Eisen) is a ten-year-old boy whose family has just moved to a
new town, and Lucas isn't enjoying it much. He hasn't made any
friends yet, his big sister ignores him, his parents (Larry Miller
and Cheri Oteri) are occupied with their upcoming vacation in
Mexico, and his loving but slightly crazy grandmother (Lily Tomlin)
is convinced space aliens are casing out the neighbourhood. To make
matters worse, the local bully has found Lucas and is making his
life miserable, so the boy looks for someone he can push around -
and he soon finds a large colony of ants in his yard. Lucas takes
out his frustrations by stomping, drowning, and burying the bugs,
not realising that the ants see him as a threat to their safety and
aren't about take his attacks lying down. Zoc (Nicolas Cage) is a
'wizard ant' who creates a formula that shrinks Lucas to the size
of an insect, and the tiny boy is brought before the leader of the
Ant Council (Ricardo Montalban) and the Queen of the Colony (Meryl
Streep) to answer for his crimes against the ants. Showing
compassion, the queen sentences Lucas not to death, but to live
among them and see how difficult their circumstances can be.

The criminal justice process is dependent on accurate
documentation. Criminal justice professionals can spend 50-75
percent of their time writing administrative and research reports.
The information provided in these reports is crucial to the
functioning of our system of justice. Report Writing for Criminal
Justice Professionals, Sixth Edition, provides practical
guidance-with specific writing samples and guidelines-for providing
strong reports. Most law enforcement, security, corrections, and
probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how
to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports.
Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals covers everything
officers need to learn-from basic English grammar to the difficult
but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold
up in court. This new edition includes updates to reference
materials and citations, as well as further supporting examples and
new procedures in digital and electronic report writing.
One of the most successful Black businessmen in the country, who
has led Nike's Jordan Brand from a $200M sneaker company to a $4B
global apparel juggernaut, tells the remarkable story of his rise
from gangland violence to the pinnacles of international business.
Jump tells Larry Miller's journey from the violent streets of West
Philly in the 1960s to the highest echelons of American sports and
industry. Miller wound up in jail more than once, especially as a
teenager. But he immersed himself in the educational opportunities,
eventually took advantage of a Pennsylvania state education-release
program offered to incarcerated people, and was able to graduate
with honors from Temple University. When revealing his gangland
past caused him to lose his first major job opportunity, Miller
vowed to keep it a secret. He climbed the corporate ladder with a
number of companies such as Kraft Foods, Campbell's Soup, and
Jantzen, until Nike hired him to run its domestic apparel
operations. Around the time of Michael Jordan's basketball
retirement, Nike Chairman Phil Knight made Larry Miller president
of the newly formed Jordan Brand. In 2007 Paul Allen convinced
Miller to jump to the NBA to become president of the Portland
Trailblazers, one of the first African-Americans to lead a
professional sports team, before returning to Jordan Brand in 2012.
All along, Miller lived two lives: the secret of his violent past
haunted him, invading his days with migraines and his sleep with
nightmares of getting hauled back to jail. More than a
rags-to-riches story, Jump is also a passionate appeal for criminal
justice reform and expanded educational opportunities for
incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people across the United
States. Drawing on his powerful personal story, as well as his vast
and well-connected network, Miller plans to use Jump as a launching
point to help expand such opportunities and to provide an
aspirational journey for those who need hope.

Half-breed. Oreo Cookie. Suzy Q. These are a few of the names the
bullies spewed her way. Did she cower? Sometimes. Did she cry? A
lot. Did they win? No. Come along for the reading ride as author,
Kori D. Miller, describes her life as an interracial woman in the
United States, from grade school in the 70's to college in the late
80's, and beyond. You'll laugh. You might cry. And, you might get
as ticked off as she did. In the end, you'll discover that she's a
lot like you.
We live in a world filled with chaos. Nothing seems the same after
9/11. We are at war with one another. Hatred abounds. Terror reins.
People are dying. We finally seem to have come to a consensus that
global warming is a reality, yet we don't have a comprehensive plan
in place to address it. We know that deforestation of rain forests
will have a dramatic affect on the environment, but little is being
done to stop to it. We can barely bring ourselves to talk about
sex, yet sex crimes are at an all time high. What kind of mess are
we leaving for our children and their children to clean up? Is this
the way it is going to be? Is this the way it has to be? How did we
end up in this situation? Is there anything we can do to change it?
Is time is running out? Have we made so many mistakes along the way
that it's hopeless? Are we even living our lives correctly? Maybe
we have it all wrong. What if we have it backward? Maybe life on
earth as we know it is not reality, but an illusion. If it is an
illusion, is it like a game? If so, are we playing it correctly? If
there are rules, wouldn't it help to know what they are so we can
play the game better?
The Premise of Going All the Way with Love is that our primary
purpose here on earth is to develop our potential to love to the
fullest extent possible and that becoming more loving is the
shortest and easiest path to personal transformation, as well as to
the collective salvation of humanity. According to the author,
"Each of us is capable of a higher order of love - a love that is
truer, deeper, and more all-encompassing than the love that we now
experience and express," and he provides insights into the nature
and power of love that will, hopefully, inspire the reader to "go
all the way" in becoming a wholly loving person.
