Before you finish reading this sentence, run to your bathroom and guzzle a bottle of Robitussin. That’s right, the King Remembered In Time got chopped and screwed. Big K.R.I.T., your favorite slow flowin’ rapper from the South, released Return of 4eva earlier this year–and now it’s been slowed down, picked apart, and rearranged by DJ Mike Watts, the co-founder of Swishahouse Records. Now you can hear all of the classic tracks from 4eva—”Rotation,” “Country Shit,” “Made Alot,” and “Free My Soul,” for instance—played at 65 bpm and diced to pieces. Perfect for a DXM trip. Download the mixtape for free over here.

US Fed News Service, Including US State News April 15, 2012 HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 13 — Sam Houston State University issued the following news release:
Criminal justice students got an insider’s view from professionals on how to get hired and succeed at jobs in the field at the second annual conference sponsored by the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice. website law enforcement jobs
“Students to Professionals: Where We Are to Where We Want to Be” provided panels of criminal justice professionals on resumes, interviews, internships, careers and lifestyles.
Greg Monteihl, an employment specialist with SHSU Career Services, provided tips on developing resumes, saying resumes should be a marketing piece to communicate the things you have done well and to stress the skills and experiences that make you a better candidate.
University Police Department Deputy Chief James Fitch told students what to expect during the interview process for law enforcement jobs, including a polygraph exam, criminal background check, and a panel of officers during the interviewing process.
A criminal record, like a drunken driving conviction, will knock you out of contention for most law enforcement jobs for up to 10 years. It’s important to divulge past indiscretions, such as experimenting with drugs or juvenile records, and to take ownership of mistakes and not blame outside influences. Any lies uncovered on an application or resume will lead to immediate disqualification, Fitch said. see here law enforcement jobs
“You have to be absolutely honest in this field,” said Fitch. “None of us are angels. We all make mistakes.” Terri McGee, assistant deputy director for Harris County Juvenile Probation, and Denise Kennedy, a former Texas Department of Juvenile Justice parole officer, encouraged students to pursue internships and consider more than one internship as well as volunteer opportunities, practicums or clubs to help build their resumes.
Georgia Haynes, senior court officer with Tarrant County Adult Probation, and Candice Williams, a clinical team counselor at Children’s Safe Harbor, provided tips on how to succeed on the job and get promoted, including interacting well with others, showcasing leadership capabilities, finding a mentor or shadowing a supervisor, and volunteering for projects to help build skill sets.
“You need to write and articulate what you need to get across,” said Haynes. “To write well and speak well is important in the criminal justice system.” For any query with respect to this article or any other content requirement, please contact Editor at [email protected] Julia May, [email protected] and Jennifer Gauntt, [email protected]
