Dear Nelly,
Maybe I'm being ridiculous,but when I was watching the news the other day and messages were being ran across the bottom of the screen...I was expecting to see Dr.Nelly Alia-Klein for winning the Nobel prize!As a scientist,is this something that is ever thought about during your career?
Do you remember when George Pataki was the Governor of New York State?His agenda was being tough on crime and violent felons stayed in prison as long as possible!He made sure of this with the persons he appointed to sit on the parole board.There have been law suits filed for no matter how well one did in prison,if you had a violent crime you shouldn't be expected to be released.
There are still a few commissioners left that Governor Pataki appointed,but their terms will soon run out.They still follow his agenda even though he hasn't been Governor for over 10 years.In any event,there has been a recognized change so it does give violent felons HOPE now.
My main thing is misbehavior for I have ALL my needed programs and I'm doing good on the misbehavior front for I've had one report in the past 3 years and that wasn't anything serious(missing the morning count).January/2014 is right around the corner for years seem to go by quicker as we age.
Do you have any idea when you'll be leaving Brookhaven Lab?Who nominated you for the 2011 woman of the year for that newspaper?I always think of nominating Mr.Thieben,but I don't know if I'm able to put it in 200 words how important he is to me(200 words isn't enough).I always tell him in letters so he does know what he means to me.Sometimes I just feel EVERYBODY should know how great of a man he is.
There are a lot of towns up here named after(I guess)Italian cities and Greek philosophers/mythological creatures.You have Rome,Utica,and then Romulus right in this area.Didn't Romulus have a twin brother in Greek myth?If it wasn't for prison I probably wouldn't have known shit about upstate,New York.
I'll be watching NOVA tonight so my next letter will be what I thought about it.I just wondered if judges will start talking science in their opinions when they sentence people.I'm sure it's something prosecuters do not want to have to deal with for they don't want any excuses as to why people are violent except for the fact that they are just mean,evil people who don't care about others and for that reason they deserve the maximum sentences!
This aggravates me so I'll close for now and will write more later on.Take good care.
James
