Crimes that you are describing. They are really awful crimes. The trend is downward except for the aggravated assault. And then this may again be based on some of the media reporting and some of the things that i have seen and there has been it seems like targeting of elderly individuals for street robberies or aggravated assaults, and again not that any other robbery is any less or any use of force, but when you are targeting older people, people with health issues, people that are unable to defend themselves not they should have to defend yourself, mind you is that also are we seeing trends in that regard .

Things she does in order to ensure our mediations are successful. The other is the central core of our mediations and those are the skilled and trained mediators and as a matter of fact we have a couple or several of them in the audience tonight. Without the mediators, we could not function. And it was very surprising to me when i came on board a year and a half ago to learn that all of our mediators are volunteers and they come from as far away as sacramento.
