An official supplier of University of South Florida merchandise is selling "Finish Strong" bracelets without the knowledge of the school or Jeff Wagner, who is battling cancer and created the "Finish Strong" slogan.

Two months ago, "Finish Strong" was printed on rubber bracelets and given to USF's football players in honor of Wagner, who is battling acute myeloid leukemia, his second bout with cancer.

Inspired by Wagner, a 1986 USF alumnus, Bulls coach Jim Leavitt asked for his tiffany permission to create the bracelets. "Finish Strong" has become a mantra of the team.

Neither Leavitt nor Wagner wanted the bracelets sold commercially, but neither Wagner nor USF has a copyright for "Finish Strong" so Bulls Outfitter, located at 1809 E. Fowler Ave., does not need permission to sell the bracelets.

This week, Bulls Outfitter started selling them for $4.99 each. None of the profits go to cancer research or to the university.

"We had a lot of people asking for them," Christmas Tree charm and chain store manager Barry Brunstein said. "They didn't originate here, so we got them in. We try to stock what people want.

"We've only had them for a few days, but they're selling very well."

Craig Brunstein, owner of Bulls Outfitter, was not available for comment Friday. Barry Brunstein said he was unaware of Jeff Wagner.

USF associate AD Bill McGillis and Wagner said they didn't know the bracelets were being sold until contacted by a Tribune reporter Friday.

"Coach Leavitt asked me if it was OK to make the bracelet and I said whatever will motivate the team," said Wagner, who started signing his name "Finish Strong" four years ago. "I'm not in it for the commercialization, Tiffany Aria pendant I just wanted to motivate the team.

"I'm just the guy that said it, and Coach Leavitt created the bracelet."

The latest fad among Cuban youth is a simple white rubber bracelet emblazoned with the word "CAMBIO" -- change -- and it landed up to 60 young people behind bars this week, according to human-rights activists on the island.

Several dissidents in Cuba said a group of about 16 young people took to the street in Havana on tiffany Sunday to protest the second round of Cuba's municipal elections. Many of them were wearing the white wristbands, similar to the cancer-awareness bracelets made popular by cyclist Lance Armstrong.

The bracelets were sent to Cuba as part of a Miami-based initiative to foster dissent, and appear to have become a fashion trend.

"My son was not even at the protest on Sunday, but they came to the house with an arrest warrant on Tuesday looking for him," anti-Castro activist Aurelio Bachiller said by phone from Havana. "They took the bracelet from him and tossed him in a cell."

CRACKDOWN

Picked up at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Macdonis Bachiller, 21, was Tiffany Key Oval key pendant released Thursday afternoon. Apparently incensed over Sunday's protest, Cuba's security and police agents conducted round-ups Monday and Tuesday, detaining anyone on the street wearing one of the bracelets, Juan Carlos Gonzalez Leyva, a board member of the Council of Human Rights Rapporteurs said by telephone in Havana.

He said about 60 young people were swept up, including two who are relatives of known dissidents.

The arrests triggered fears that the Cuban government has kicked off a new wave of repression to crack down on dissent -- one that ensnared largely apolitical teens.

Although some of the youth wear the bracelet as a sign of protest, the majority are enjoying the same fashion craze that swept the United States, Gonzalez said.

"Some people wear the AIDS ones which are yellow," Gonzalez said. 'These are white, but in the schools a lot of kids wear it backwards, so you can't see the word 'change.' For a lot of kids, it's nothing but a distraction. It doesn't matter to them if it says change or anything else."

But it matters, he added, to the government.

The young people detained Monday and Tuesday were warned that authorities were preparing files on them to later charge them with "social dangerousness."

Cuba's opposition journalists have reported similar detentions and seizures of the Tiffany Aria pendant bracelets in sporadic cases around the island since early this year.

IN WASHINGTON

The case triggered strong reaction in Washington, where Cuban-American members of Congress -- and President Bush's Cabinet -- fired off statements in support of the youth.

"I wear the bracelet, but it's easy for us to wear whatever bracelet you want," Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez said in a telephone interview. He said he wears his every day, even to bed.

"In Cuba, they wear it and 70 students are mistreated and thrown in jail. It takes courage for students in Cuba to wear it. I admire them."

Accused of supplying a friend with a gun, a 14-year-old Schaumburg girl stayed locked up in Cook County's troubled juvenile detention center for nearly a week because of a chronic shortage of electronic monitoring bracelets.

The problem has kept scores of young people eligible for home monitoring at the tiffany Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in recent months, officials said.

"They should not put a hold on them" if there aren't enough of the devices, said Nick Lagattuta, a lawyer for the teen, who was detained in January. "They should let them out."

As recently as last week, 26 juveniles who might have been sent home with monitoring bracelets on their ankles were held at the detention center, officials said. The center acts as a jail for those under 17 who are awaiting trial in criminal cases.

County budget shortfalls and a bureaucratic purchasing process slowed replacement of the devices, which can cost $2,400 each, officials say. The juvenile probation department has been trying to get 200 new bracelets since early last year, said Michael Rohan, the director. The first 70 arrived Friday and officials started distributing them almost immediately discount tiffany , he said.

Most juveniles eligible for the bracelets are confined to their homes for 20 to 30 days. It wasn't unusual for a teen to be held at the detention center for a week until a device became available, officials said.

"It's not something I take lightly, because this is kids' freedom," Rohan said.

The detention center has been under heavy criticism in recent years, plagued by allegations of abuse, inadequate mental health services and staff shortages. An administrator appointed by a federal judge took over the facility last year.

On Monday, 10 staff members and 16 youths suffered minor injuries during a melee at the center.

"Every day the child spends in detention, the more chance they have of being harmed," said Monica Mahan, a social worker at Northwestern University's Children and Family Justice Center.

Those familiar with the Cook County juvenile justice system said the electronic monitor shortage has been a problem since last fall.

Officials started running low because of wear and tear, and some teens damaged other monitors by trying to take them off.

The department had about 100 bracelets at the beginning of last year, but only 60 were available by last month, Rohan said.

The electronic bracelets connect to monitoring computers via phone lines -- either land lines or cellular phones -- to track whether those wearing them are where they are supposed to be.

Last year, Rohan's office received three federal Tiffany Somerset cuff grants to buy new monitors, money the probation department sought because of low county funding, Rohan said.

But using a grant to buy supplies slows down the purchasing process even more than the usual county bureaucracy because several more steps are required, he said.

The bracelets permit those accused of less serious crimes to go home rather than be confined in the center as they await resolution of their cases. Reducing the number of teens at the facility allows officials to concentrate on youths who require intensive supervision or who are a danger to the community.

"One of the points of juvenile detention ... is to have the kids on home monitoring, which saves the taxpayers' expense and is better for the kids," said Linda Yuttal, head of the Cook County Public Defender's juvenile division.

Long known as the Audy Home, the center's daily population declined from about 800 in 1996 to a little more than 400 in recent years, according to county figures.

Electronic monitoring has helped reduce those numbers, officials say.

The bracelets are used extensively in court systems throughout the country. The Cook County Sheriff's Department is under pressure to expand electronic home monitoring as part of a long-standing consent decree regarding jail crowding.

In the case of the Schaumburg girl, the teen was held at the detention center for almost a week before a judge ordered her released to her parents' custody.

The girl's friend, Ashley Ross, 17, faces a felony charge of possession of a stolen firearm. Prosecutors allege that the 14-year-old stole a gun from her father and that Ross drove to school with it Jan. 29, but left it in her car several blocks from Schaumburg High School.

Ross wanted the gun to target a female friend and her boyfriend but changed her mind, authorities said. She told the 14-year-old she needed the weapon to protect herself against gangs, authorities said.

The 14-year-old is cited with theft, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by a person under 18.

Cause marketing is a powerful strategy that helps increase business while doing good for others. The Diamond Empowerment Fund, which supportseducation initiatives in Africa, hopes jewelers will join its efforts to give back to the continent where much of the industry's livelihood begins.

The truth of this ancient Chinese proverb is undeniable. One needs only to compare the achievements of those tiffany societies whose citizens have access to free public education with those who don't to see the proof borne out.

This idea also forms the basis of the Diamond Empowerment Fund. The nonprofit DEF, founded last year by hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, emphasizes the need for giving a hand up, not a handout. Monies raised by DEF-at present, mainly through the sale of its Green Bracelet, an elastic malachite bead bracelet with a rough-diamond charm, which retails for $125-go toward providing quality education to needy students in diamond-producing nations in Africa.

At the same time, DEF affords American jewelers an opportunity to build on their existing customer base and attract socially conscious consumers-especially younger consumers, who studies show are highly I Love You drop pendant attuned to social issues-and embrace cause marketing as a business strategy.

"Russell [Simmons] knows a lot of people with a lot of money who are not into jewelry," explains Ellen Haddigan, DEF executive director. "But if jewelry means something other than consumption, they can get interested. Russell believes that if [jewelers] are open to trying something like this, it's a great opportunity and a smart strategy to reach new markets."

DEF's vision is to help Africans help Africa. By partnering with African education organizations that have a proven record of helping young people achieve success, DEF is able to begin fulfilling its mission statement, which says in part, "We believe education is one of the most critical elements that powers society and empowers individuals to realize their full human potential."

DEF sprang from the desire of Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons, owners of Simmons Jewelry Co., to make a difference. Diamonds have received a great deal of negative publicity in recent years-admittedly, T&CO. horseshoe charm and chain some of it well deserved-but relatively little has been said about the good that diamonds have done for Africa, especially in Botswana and South Africa.

In fall 2006, Simmons and his delegation took a fact-finding trip to southern Africa. There, they witnessed concrete proof of how the diamond industry has directly enhanced sustainable economic development. Seeking a model that could be expanded to other diamond-producing nations in Africa, the delegation found it in Botswana, which is acknowledged as the leading example of African empowerment resulting from diamond mining. (See "The Country That Diamonds Built," JCK , February 2005.) There they visited commercial training and production centers, well-equipped public schools-even complete with music programs-hospitals, family care facilities, and HIV/AIDS clinics throughout the country, all made possible through diamond beneficiation.

Upon returning to the United States, Simmons announced the establishment of DEF to support education initiatives in Africa, and the Simmons Jewelry Co. launched the Green Initiative collection of jewelry to raise funds for DEF Green-Heart Clover Pendant the signature color of the environmental movement-intended to symbolize prosperity, well-being, and care for both the planet and its people.

DEF launched its program efforts with the CIDA City Campus in Johannesburg, South Africa. CIDA, which stands for Community and Individual Development Association, has 3,400 students. Of those, 1,400 are enrolled in the fully accredited, four-year bachelor of business administration degree program, which focuses on entrepreneurship, business, science, and technology. Another 2,000 students are enrolled part-time in vocational/technical training courses.

CIDA is funded mainly by the South African private sector and other international foundations and individuals. It has received kudos from South African president Thabo Mbeki, the World Economic Forum, and Nelson Mandela, and there are plans to replicate the CIDA model in other provinces of South Africa and beyond.

Students in the program also run the campus and administrative offices, gaining hands-on business experience. Students on vacation also receive academic credit for teaching in their home schools and Elsa Peretti Open Heart charm communities. CIDA graduates have a proven success rate that has led to higher-level employment and economic benefit for the students personally, their families, and, by extension, their communities and the nation.

So far, the green malachite bracelet is the only piece in the DEF collection, but Simmons and DEF are seeking other jewelry manufacturers to join the cause, as well as retailers to support it by stocking DEF jewelry. "This isn't just about Simmons products," says Haddigan. "The idea of the DEF was conceived as the industry making a connection to where diamonds come from. We're looking for other [manufacturing] jewelry company partners to create products to sell at retail, where 10 to 20 percent of the profits go to DEF." At present, she told JCK , there are interested manufacturers, but the current volatility in materials prices has caused some to ask that the percentage of profits earmarked for donation be reevaluated.

The concept can be likened to a jewelry-specific Project (Red), she says, referring to the cross-category initiative in which companies as diverse as Gap, Motorola, Apple, and American Express have created red versions of their products to help benefit The Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in Africa. Likewise, in the DEF model, it's intended that individual jewelry companies will create their own products and their own pricing structure, as long as a portion of proceeds go to benefit DEF. "I think it Tiffany Nature Dragonfly pendant would be really cool if, in five years, a customer could go into a jewelry store and say, 'Show me the DEF department,'" says Haddigan.

The Green Bracelet is already being sold by a number of prominent retailers, including the Kay Jewelers and Jared The Galleria of Jewelry divisions of Sterling; Zales; Gordon's Jewelers; Bond Jewelers, with locations in southern Florida; Corbo Jewelers, with locations across northern New Jersey; Westbury, N.Y.-based Fortunoff; G.M. Pollack & Sons, with locations in Maine and New Hampshire; Macy's East and Macy's Florida; Phat Farm; Rogers Enterprises, whose Rogers & Hollands stores dot the Midwest; JR Dunn, based in Lighthouse Point, Fla.; online retailer Red Envelope; and H. Samuel. Ernest Jones will launch in August.

Retailers don't have to carry the bracelet or even any future DEF-specific items, Haddigan said. They can create their own DEF jewelry simply by designating any product they already have as such and donating a portion of proceeds to the fund. DEF has point-of-purchase materials and brochures ready for retailers to use to support in-store efforts around existing inventory. "The DEF is only one cause-marketing model," says Haddigan. "If we can tap into the huge market that exists for jewelry, we can raise huge amounts of money for education in Africa."

Other fund-raising efforts already have taken place. For holiday 2007, DEF held its first online fund-raising auction, called Diamonds Give, hosted on eBay's Giving Works. The auction featured approximately $100,000 worth of donated diamond jewelry items from many leading industry firms, both wholesale and retail. Among them were manufacturer/designer Phyllis Bergman, based in Englewood, N.J.; Calhoun Jewelers of Royersford, Pa.; Jeri Cohen Fine Jewelry and Michelle Farmer Fine Jewelry, both of New York; Tiffany Nature butterfly pendant Fortunoff; Los Angeles-based Neil Lane; designer Lorraine Schwartz; Security Jewelers of Duluth, Minn.; Macy's; CelticJewelry.com; ArcticSparkle.com; Simmons Jewelry Co.; Brazilian jeweler Jack Vartanian; and the noted diamond houses of Steinmetz, Leo Schachter, and William Goldberg Co. In addition to the jewelry, celebrity photo experience packages were up for auction. Winning bidders received a photo opportunity with their celebrity of choice and a Green Bracelet with the box autographed by their celebrity.

Other events also have benefited DEF, including a swank Hamptons Go Green party in Sag Harbor, N.Y., and an NBA Wives Association Behind the Bench charity luncheon, at which DEF was honored. A number of celebrities have been spotted wearing the bracelet, such as Beyonc¨¦ Knowles, Mischa Barton, David Duchovny, Brett Ratner, Cindy Crawford, and former President Bill Clinton.

Snohomish County sheriff's deputies are searching for a 31-year-old Arlington man who allegedly cut off his electronic home monitoring bracelet and vanished.

Ricky Lookingback was awaiting trial for first-degree tiffany child molestation charge when he went missing from a home in the 18800 block of Smokey Point Boulevard on Saturday, said sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover.

Snohomish County Jail Cmdr. Jim Harms said that Lookingback is one of the few jail inmates who are on electronic pretrial home monitoring. Lookingback was being monitored by the county's community corrections division.

The sheriff's office has issued a $250,000 warrant for valentines jewelry Lookingback's arrest. Lookingback is not a registered sex offender.

Lookingback is described as white, 5-feet-5 and 130 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

The victim and the victim's family have been notified about Lookingback's disappearance.

Last month, Snohomish County sheriff's deputies searched for a Level 3 offender who sliced off his state-issued GPS ankle bracelet. David Torrence was captured in Arkansas last month.

Torrence had been released from prison on April 20 after serving a one-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. The state Department of Corrections was unable to find adequate housing for the 43-year-old offender, so he was fitted with the tracking device, given a sleeping bag and permitted to live beneath a bridge in Snohomish. The bridge is less Paloma's Zellige pendant than five miles from the home of a woman who Torrence raped in 1995.

Anyone with information about Lookingback is asked to call the Sheriff's Office tip line at 425-388-3845.

In response to an accused arsonist's plea for help with an alcohol problem, a Luzerne County district judge Wednesday ordered the man to wear an alcohol-detection ankle bracelet as a condition for bail.

Judge Paul Hadzick ordered Adam DeWolfe, 21, of Swoyersville,tiffany to wear a SCRAM -- Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor -- until his formal arraignment in the county Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 3.

While Court of Common Pleas judges have ordered the use of SCRAMs in probation orders, Hadzick said he believes this was the first time a county district judge issued an order for a SCRAM as part of a bail condition.

Police said DeWolfe admitted to pouring a flammable liquid on the passenger side and hood of a 1998 Hyundai Accent owned by Carmela Dinallo July 2 and setting fire to the car after he had an argument with a relative.

In exchange for DeWolfe pleading guilty to a third-degree felony count of arson, prosecutors at DeWolfe's preliminary hearing agreed to withdraw a first-degree felony count of arson and would not oppose tiffany shopping reduction of DeWolfe's bail from $25,000 cash to $25,000 unsecured.

Although it was unclear at the hearing if DeWolfe had been drinking when the crime occurred, DeWolfe told the judge he wants help with his alcohol problem.

Hadzick told DeWolfe the bracelet would monitor him for alcohol intake 24 hours a day, and the monitoring company would know within minutes if he consumed alcohol. If alcohol is detected in his system, DeWolfe's bail will be revoked.

"You're either going to stay clean or go to jail," Hadzick said.

Lori Bieber, a representative of Dunmore-based Mid Atlantic Monitoring Services, was in court and said her company would provide DeWolfe free monitoring on a trial basis.

"I appreciate it so much," DeWolfe said.

Mid Atlantic Monitoring Services already provides monitoring services to Luzerne County Probation Services.

Chris Patte, field supervisor for probation services, said his Atlas ring department has been using the SCRAM devices for nearly a year on drunken-driving offenders, and he finds them "very effective. We can monitor people 24/7."

Patte said he expects the bracelets will be more commonly used after Luzerne County creates a DUI treatment court.
