Nova High School
Seattle, WA 98122
About This School
Alternative schools are public schools that offer nontraditional education for students whose needs cannot be met in a regular, special education, or vocational school. While alternative schools are distinct from regular, special education, and vocational schools in their teaching approach or classroom environment, they can provide similar services and/or curriculum for students. Alternative schools include schools for potential dropouts, residential treatment centers for substance abuse, schools for chronic truants, and schools for students with behavioral problems. See Nova High School's test results to learn more about school performance.
In 2011, Nova High School had 20 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Washington average is 19 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

Nova High School Reviews
This is a brilliant school. My fifth and youngest child currently attends. Students there are given a tremendous amount of creative freedom, and this works really well for the highly capable student who might otherwise leave school due to power issues. The first year there is often rough, because that is when they learn no one will punish them for skipping class. They are held accountable by their wish to be successful, and they love the staff there, so don't feel the anger some students do when they choose not to go to class. In the long run, by the time the student graduates, s/he has done a lot of the work in self-management that often takes place during the freshman year of college, and so Nova grads have a leg up when they reach higher education, if that is what they want to do after high school. The population is far more diverse than it was ten years ago, and this is because the staff there has made a concerted effort to reach out to all demographic groups. They have many students who have dropped out of other high schools, but end up graduating from Nova, and it's not just a matter of handing out credits for work not done, which doesn't happen; rather, students are mentored and assisted in whatever way meets their needs. For a school that houses so many students who are homeless or former drop-outs to come up with the highest SAT scores in the district says a good deal. It's a really strong school.
I am a former student of Nova high school and all I have to say is that it's a school where you put full trust in your child to know what's right for themselves. So if your child is irresponsible, and can't do what's good for themselves than they don't belong here. But if they're able to keep they're studies in line without your help, then it's a wonderful school with a very diverse student body. Student and teachers will not tolerate bullying of any kind, whether if it's racial profiling or just calling someone gay. If your child passes their classes at their current school but has troubles with bullying, then Nova is a wonderful place full of progressive thinkers and amazing people who will accept them for who they are. They allow the students to set up what classes they take and every aspect of their learning is student oriented. The term "drug school" is a complete misrepresentation of the school. As any other school there is some use but none more than Ballard high school and none of it is promoted. Other than that I would recommend this school to any parent with a child who has trouble fitting in at school, Nova students don't care if your black, white, gay, or straight there's always a place for them at Nova.
Our teen was using drugs & alcohol, began 'hanging out' at NOVA and then stopped attending her school. She wanted to transfer to NOVA. I was told by her therapist that NOVA is "a drug school". After learning that they don't report attendance, we told our teen that NOVA was not an option. I agree that it's probably a really good school for students who are motivated and focused. But it's also a school that attracts students who are failing at other schools mostly because of their bad choices. If you have a teen who is at risk (using drugs & alcohol, running away, defiant, etc.) this school will enable them to continue down that path.
My daughter, now a museum director with a master's degree in environmental studies, graduated from NOVA in 1993, and I have never seen a collection of brighter, more talented, high school graduates than her graduating class. I have kept up with many of the students who graduated with her, and their prestige continues to climb. Their numbers include medical doctors, university professors, international jazz singers, and the list goes on.
I must agree with the former parent...it's really bad. It is not a place to excel, except by students who would excel anyway anywhere else. Note the number of super seniors--students who take a long time to graduate for no other reason than they do little work, earn few credits, and spend time hanging out doing nothing. Vendors have actually called the school to ask if it was true that Nova students had no attendance requirement because of the numbers of them "legitimately" hanging out at shopping areas during school hours. But this is okay because some just take longer to finish high schools than others. As you can imagine, these students hanging out were simply having a personal day off, among many...wow. A terrible school.
The NOVA experience is phenomenal. Teachers at NOVA are committed to teaching excellence, high academic standards and believe and practice the tenets of social justice.
Much like A. S. Neill's Summerhill, NOVA is built on the principles of self-expression, self-motivation, and individual responsibility. For students who wish and their is much to ignite all so they do"wish," the NOVA experience prepares students to be citizens of a multicultural world.
really bad. they dont teach ,they just support, the bright students who can teach themselves. most teachers in most seattle schools dont teach anymore.
example they just speak french or spanish and expect the kids to learn it.
its easy for teacher to do nothing and get thier paychecks that way.. they have esoteric reasons and teaching methods ,which are usless and DONT WORK, so they can get paid for doing very little.....

Perhaps the reason so many adult women became enthralled by the romance of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan is because they never read "Jane Eyre," which could reasonably be called "Twilight" for grown-ups.

Kealan Patrick Burke has written some dark, though-provoking tales in his time; the kind of work that startles you on the surface, then digs in deep to disturb you on a more primal level. But he's not afraid to cut loose every now and then, to bypass the mind and go straight for the gut with something dirty and gritty and just plain fun. Something that allows you to check your brain at the door and just hang on for dear life.
The Tent is that kind of ride.
You want something stacked full of classic genre trappings? How about a bickering family in an unfamiliar, isolated spot in the woods (in the middle of a drenching thunderstorm, no less)? And how about they stumble upon something ancient and evil, something hiding in the woods, hungry and cunning and waiting for prey?
Oh yeah – it's all here. And it's all good.
Burke's not looking to reinvent the wheel in this recently-released novella. What he is looking to do is to tell a good campfire story, one that'll make you jump at loud noises and will ensure you'll never look at that most innocuous, essential piece of camping gear the same way again. He sets you up with a small cast of solid characters – a couple you can root for, and a couple you can root for to die – throws on a bucketful of atmosphere, and turns out the lights.
The prime thing The Tent has going for it is its creature, and I'm not about to give away that reveal. Suffice to say Burke has concocted a tasty mix of The Thing meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets The Twilight Zone, and he made sure to marinate it in a couple of gallons of blood before setting it free.
Burke's writing continues to mature, and that maturity is evident even in what some might call immature material. He's getting better and better at disappearing into the story, allowing you to forget that you're reading and enabling you to actually experience the story as it unfolds.
The Tent wears its B-movie pedigree proudly for all to see – it's fast-paced, gloriously gory and, at times, off-the-rails insane. It may not resonate with you with the same power that his novel Kin or his Timmy Quinn series does, but it's likely to pop into your mind at the most inconvenient of times…say, when you're setting up camp on a trip this summer, and night is just beginning to fall…

UPDATE: Friday, September 21, 2012
An armed man who took a hostage inside a downtown Pittsburgh office building has surrendered to police.
Police Chief Nate Harper says the suspect gave himself up after posting Facebook updates in the early hours of the standoff saying he had "lost everything." Harper says the hostage is OK.
Police identified the hostage-taker as Klein Michael Thaxton. Harper had said Thaxton had a military background and was suicidal.
The standoff began Friday morning inside the 16th-floor office of a benefits administration firm.
Harper says Thaxton was cooperative but made no demands.
Thaxton's friends had responded to his Facebook posts by urging him to end the situation peacefully, including one who asked him to think of his mother.
The Facebook page was later taken down.
Friday, September 21, 2012
The Pittsburgh police SWAT team has responded to a high-rise office building downtown where a man armed with a gun and carrying at least one bag is holding a hostage or hostages.
Police say the man entered the building sometime after 8 a.m. Friday and went up to an office suite on an upper floor of Three Gateway Center. The building is one of six office buildings that dominate the city skyline nearest Point State Park.
Police have evacuated the building and say there have been no reports of shots fire or injuries.
A police spokeswoman has yet to provide more details, but officers at the scene have told reporters about the general circumstances.

PARIS — Following sharp criticism from angry residents Monday over its decision to fire the town manager without cause last month, the Board of Selectmen unanimously voted to hire an interim replacement.
Michael Thorne, who served as the Harrison town manager for 21 years and the Raymond manager for two years, will take the position immediately. He will work a 25-hour week and be paid $600 a week.
Thorne replaces Town Clerk Anne Pastore, who declined appointment as interim town manager after the board voted 3-2 on June 22 to terminate the town's contract with Sharon Jackson.
Monday's meeting was the first opportunity for residents to publicly address selectmen on the issue, and several people expressed anger or dismay over the decision.
Forrie Everett, chairman of the town's Budget Committee, said the termination would lead to extra costs for hiring an interim town manager and paying town employees for working extra hours to cover Jackson's duties. Everett questioned where the money would come from, as the year's budget has already been established.
"I don't know if they're going to do like the past administration did and start robbing from Peter to pay Paul, or you're going to do what's supposed to be done and have a town meeting to approve these monies that are being foolishly spent," Everett said.
Ivey said the board had not yet discussed where additional money would come from.
"You haven't gave that a thought, have you?" asked Everett.
Ivey replied that he had not responded in such a way, and told Everett that his time to speak was over. When Everett tried to continue, Ivey said he would have Everett removed, prompting shouts of protest from the audience.
"I'm telling you, you're a snake in the grass," Everett said. "I have no faith; I have nothing in you. And I'll do whatever the town asks me to do to get you three out of here."
Ivey, along with selectmen Troy Ripley and Glen Young, voted in favor of firing Jackson. Selectmen Raymond Glover and Lloyd "Skip" Herrick voted against the termination.
Carmen Rubonas, a Paris landowner and taxpayer, asked the board to provide in writing the reason for its decision. She said Jackson had received favorable performance reviews prior to the decision.
"I am here tonight because I question the motive and intent of the majority of this board that's sitting at this table," Rubonas said.
Other residents urged the board to rehire Jackson.
"The most expedient, quickest, least expensive, most cost-effective way to do it is for you to vote to undo the mistake you've made," said Al Bancroft, founder of Bancroft Contracting.
Resident Greg Harris questioned allegations that Jackson's predecessor, Steve McAllister, left the town in a poor financial state when he departed. In defending her record to the board before her termination, Jackson said she had helped bring the town out of financial difficulties.
"I'm wondering if there are any facts that will support the unfavorable allegations, or is it just the way Sharon Jackson told the story when she wanted to make changes to her own way of doing things," Harris said.
The board unanimously accepted Pastore's resignation as interim town manager after a half-hour executive session, and unanimously approved Thorne's appointment after another half-hour executive session.
However, Herrick questioned how Thorne had been selected.
Ivey said Thorne had approached the town after reading about the vacancy. Herrick protested that neither he nor Glover had been told about Thorne's interest in the position.
"It's quite evident we have a three-man board operation here," Herrick said.
Young said he was also unaware that Thorne had approached the town.
Jackson was hired by the town in December 2004. She previously served as finance clerk for the town of Oxford for eight years, as well as interim town manager there on two occasions. In September 2004, she was considered for the Oxford town manager position but was not hired.
Under her contract with Paris selectmen, the board had the right to terminate Jackson without cause, but would have to pay her salary and benefits for a period equal to one month for each consecutive year of service. Jackson told selectmen last month that the town would be required to pay her $40,000.

Frownies offer the alternative to wrinkle fillers, and other chemical inject-able products. Gentle Lifts anti-aging wrinkle treatment fits comfortably around the lip area to reduce the appearance of lip lines. Worn at least 3 hours, but can be left on overnight, Gentle Lifts smooth, flatten and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Until now our customers were cutting the traditional Facial Patch to fit the upper and lower lip area to smooth wrinkles. Of course you can opt for injections. But Gentle Lifts have provided the simplest solution to smoothing lines around the mouth.
Smokers lines, lipstick lines, vertical lines call
them what you will; we don't like them.
Smoking, drinking through a straw and general facial expression can lead to horizontal and vertical lines around the lips.
:: PEEL the paper back from the patch.
:: SMOOTH OUT and separate the lines with your fingers.
:: APPLY the patch over the smoothed lines.
:: REMOVE patch by slightly wetting to releases adhesive.
:: TREAT area with Immune Shield after removing the patch.
:: STICK patch on clean smooth surface and reuse as often as the adhesive will allow.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant and has the ability to work like topical filler absorbing into the skin, hydrating and filling in the irregular surface area.
If you are over 35 and not seeing signs of these lines you inherited good genes from your mother and you can keep the lines away with Gentle Lifts and Immune shield.
The lips do not have sebaceous glands or oil producing glands so the lip robs the area around the mouth of moisture leaving fine lines where lipstick runs and wrinkles develop.
Using a whole form Vitamin E serum on and around the lips is a great preventive step. Gentle Lifts will smooth and flatten the lines if they have developed.
NO Latex is contained in the patch they have a soft edged and stiff center to give a soft lift on the face where the Paper patch may leave a line or the skin is fuller. Working on well in small tight areas like around the mouth.
There is not an active ingredient on the Gentle Lift they work on the same mechanical process as the paper patch. You may use Immune Perfect to put a treatment under the patch.
Designed to use on the smokers lines around the mouth Gentle Lifts work great on the marionette lines as well. May be used between the eyes.
Gentle Lifts allow the skin to breath because of the cotton lining and soft edges. Just like the paper patch protecting the health of the skin.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The Bridge is community, coffee house and fair trade market combined in a corner location in New Town, St. Charles. I would describe it as a place to tangibly live out faith values and principles while living out your life.
Over dinner out with their spouses, the Rev. Stephanie Doeschot, a minister of the Reformed Church in America (RCA) and the Rev. Jim Erdman, a minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), shared their separate visions of a new outreach ministry: both spoke of starting a collaborative ministry located in New Town.
started as a small kiosk selling fair trade products, such as coffee and artisan handicrafts. Fairly traded goods support new markets, favorable working conditions, and fair prices especially in areas at a disadvantage with the regular manufacturing and marketing system. More information is available at the Fair Trade Federation website.
The Bridge is a result of much prayer, planning and creative thinking by members of outreach teams from four St. Charles County churches with support by the two church denominations. Three of the four churches are from the ELCA: Christ the King, and Living Lord; Christ's Church is RCA.
This new ministry planting has been fruitful and The Bridge has moved from a kiosk to a corner café.
It's a coffee house and a fair trade market, with goods and goodies for sale made locally and globally. It's also a community place.
The Bridge has been open in its current New Town location not quite two years. Musicians offer live music on Friday evenings from 7:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. You can come and sit and browse the web with your lap top, or kick-back with friends. It's not home, work or school, but it's that other place, a place you want to be.
The planning partners of The Bridge hope that it is a 'third-place' ministry. Doeschot, the mission developer, described these 'third-place' locations by referring to the TV show "Cheers," where she said "everybody goes and its song told us 'everybody knows your name'."
The Bridge is not a bar, but it has baristas who serve up hot coffee or lattes as you like them, or other hot or cold drinks. This is a collaborative ministry, with a few paid baristas, but many volunteers come from the four churches and are needed, Doeschot stated, to keep this "consistent witness to the world" operating.
The witness is one of cooperation, not competition. The foundational faith principles of The Bridge come from the Bible, the Book of Micah 6: 8, where the prophet Micah says to the people that God doesn't require elaborate offerings but rather the offerings of "doing justice, loving kindness and walking humbly with God."
Doeschot indicated a desire for The Bridge to be a "regional presence of fair trade" and promoting awareness and education of fair trade practices as well as the selling of the products themselves. The Bridge serves fair trade coffee to its customers from Goshen Coffee Company, Edwardsville, IL.
One of the items for sale Doeschot showed me is bottled olive oil made from a manufacturing cooperative of Jewish and Arab women. I pray for peace in the Middle East; when I purchase this product, I support even in a small way an effort to bring about that peace. It's an action upon a faith statement while living out my life.
It's something I really can do.
Another way The Bridge provides an opportunity to live out the Micah 6:8 principles is in the tip jar.
The tip jar is large and it is displayed next to a good size sign that explains that 50 percent of all tips is given to a selected charity that changes monthly or when a giving goal is reached. Sitting by the tip jar is a description of the charity and who or what it helps. A tip jar is not new; what The Bridge has decided to do with it is.
If you have purchased a cup of coffee, put money in the tip jar, perhaps bought one of the locally made "Sweet Success" cookies for an afternoon snack or paid for one of the many hand-crafted items for sale, you have been an active part of the ministry of The Bridge.
And, if you have bought an iced mocha latte and sat outside at the café tables and chatted with friends, you have been an active participant in the ministry of The Bridge.
I like this place. It has a purpose beyond the surface. If you don't know that before you walk in, you know it before the foam of the skim milk has settled on top of your latte.

Meadville Tribune
DNA testing has confirmed the headless and handless human remains found last month stuffed inside a barrel in a wooded area of Rockdale Township are those of a missing Erie County man.
The Crawford County District Attorney's Office and Crawford County Coroner's Office confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the remains are those of Gerald P. Van Dyke, 55, of 15251 Smith Road, Union City.
Authorities had to await DNA test results on the remains to confirm the man's identity since the head and hands were missing from the body when it was recovered on Sept. 28, according to Francis Schultz, Crawford County's district attorney. Van Dyke had been missing since Sept. 14.
"I was always confident the remains were those of Mr. Van Dyke," Schultz said. "DNA testing was used to confirm that using objects he owned."
With the confirmation, the remains now can be released to the Van Dyke family for burial, said Scott Schell, Crawford County coroner.
On Sept. 28, Pennsylvania State Police found the human remains stuffed inside a barrel near the home of Richard A. Houy, 68, of 21300 Teepleville Flats Road, Cambridge Springs. A Sept. 30 autopsy done on the remains by Dr. Eric Vey, a forensic pathologist, found Van Dyke died from a ruptured aorta pierced by a hunting arrow. The head and heads still have not been recovered.
Houy has been held in the Crawford County jail in Saegertown without bond since his Sept. 25 arrest by state police after he allegedly admitted to killing Van Dyke.
Houy faces a preliminary hearing next month on state police charges of first degree murder, abuse of a corpse, tampering with or fabricating evidence, and false reports to law enforcement officials in connection with Van Dyke's death.
"It's still being investigated," Schultz said Tuesday when asked if any more arrests were possible in the case.
On Sept. 15, Van Dyke was reported missing to state police by Tina Skelton, his long-time live-in girlfriend; and Skelton's parents, Richard A. Houy and Sandra Houy, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in the case.
In an interview with police on Sept. 25, Houy admitted disposing of Van Dyke's body in French Creek after killing Van Dyke at Houy's Rockdale Township property, the search warrant affidavit said.
But, Tina Skelton, Houy's daughter, had a different version of events in her Sept. 25 interview with police, according to the affidavit.
Approximately three weeks prior to Van Dyke's disappearance, Skelton had told Van Dyke she wanted to end an approximate 10-year relationship with him, the affidavit said. Skelton and Van Dyke aren't married but jointly owned a 26-acre property and home at 15251 Smith Road in LeBoeuf Township, Erie County, according to the affidavit.
Skelton told police Van Dyke had not been seen since 9 a.m. Sept. 14 when Van Dyke drove away from the home the two shared, the affidavit said.
Skelton told police that she went to her father's home the evening of Sept. 14 and Houy admitted to her to killing Van Dyke earlier that day at Houy's home, according to the affidavit. Skelton told police her father may have used a chain saw to dismember Van Dyke's body before placing the remains in either a wooden box or barrels inside Houy's barn, according to the affidavit.

When Should An Aging TV Show Get Off The Air?
By editor
The TV show House is airing its final episode Monday night on FOX, Desperate Housewives on ABC ended last week and NBC has announced that 30 Rock will have its final episodes this fall. TV and media critic Eric Deggans of the Tampa Bay Times explains why choosing to end a show, rather than getting canceled, presents a creative opportunity for the producers.

I have only the faintest idea of my annual insurance premiums, because they have always been paid by my — or, as is the case now, my husband's — employer. Everything is covered from routine care such as mammograms to minor flus to major catastrophes. I can pick any doctor from a wide range of participating physicians. They can order the most sophisticated diagnostic tests to scope out every possible cause of my symptoms with little to zero cost to me. I can easily get referrals to the best area — and even out-of-area — specialists when needed. Co-pays for doctor's visits and prescription drugs have increased in recent years, but remain manageable. If I develop a chronic problem requiring expensive, prolonged care, I'm covered after an initial deducible that is trivial compared to the total cost of treatment. So long as I have this coverage, I have little worry about being financially wiped out by any future health problem.
Yes, I know, ultimately my husband and I pay for these benefits through reduced wages. But, frankly, the health care security we get in exchange seems like a more than worthwhile trade-off, especially since, having grown up in India and lived as a graduate student in this country, I know what it feels like not to have any.
However, the number of Americans with such generous coverage is diminishing and about 15 percent have no insurance at all. The main reason is that health insurance premiums have been climbing anywhere from 8 to 12 percent annually. Every 1 percent increase in premiums pushes 150,000 people into the ranks of the uninsured. One reason for rising premiums, of course, is that insured people like me consume health care without any regard to prices, and that prices others out of the health insurance marketplace. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent proposal to impose thousands of dollars in fine on California residents who don't buy health insurance has it exactly backward. It is supposedly meant to prevent the uninsured from passing on the cost of their uncompensated care to others in the form of higher premiums and taxes. But uncompensated care, about 3 percent of total health care spending, is less than what retailers nation-wide lose to shop-lifting and employee-theft every year, according to the Pacific Research Institute. If anything, it is the over-insured who are jacking up prices for the un- and under-insured, not the other way around.
President Bush's plan in his state of union speech at least addresses the right end of the problem. Instead of penalizing uninsured individuals, it will give them an incentive to purchase insurance by letting them deduct their cost of coverage from their taxes, just as employers currently do. In essence, it will make insurance cheaper for the uninsured.
But if the golden age of U.S. health care where consumers like me can engage in unrestrained consumption has to draw to an end, what should replace it? Schwarzenegger's universal coverage by fiat that grafts a socialized approach to the private health care market is not the answer because it won't be cheap and it won't be universal.
It won't be cheap because it involves more subsidies to more health care consumers. At the same time, it will place de facto price controls on insurance companies under new rules requiring them to use "community rating" to set insurance premiums. That means that instead of being able to price insurance policies based on the health profile of an individual, health care underwriters will have to offer everyone the same price. Furthermore, companies will be forbidden to refuse coverage to anyone because of new "guaranteed issue" rules. Mandates on consumers to buy coverage coupled with more onerous regulations on the insurance industry will mean more demand, fewer insurance suppliers and less differentiation of the insurance product — a perfect recipe for inflation. All of this will make the goal of universal coverage less — not more — achievable.
But if such half-baked measures won't end the upward spiral of health care prices and make health coverage more affordable, what will? There are only two options: A fully socialized, single-payer system as in Canada and many European countries. Or a consumer-driven one in which employers and government (Medicare/Medicaid), instead of purchasing health care for people under their care, would give them a fixed amount to buy it themselves.
The two contributors to Reason Roundtable make the case for the latter. Manhattan Institute senior fellow David Gratzer, a physician and author of The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care, explains the problems with socialized medicine and the obstacles on the path to a consumer-driven system. The default option that countries with socialized medicine fall back on when confronted with rising costs is rationing care by queue. "Canadians are resigned to wait for practically any diagnostic test or surgical procedure," he notes. "According to the government's own statistics, 1.2 million Canadians are actively looking for a family doctor but can't find one."
But if Canada and socialized systems are embracing rationing by queue, Greg Scandlen, President of Consumers for Health Care Choices, maintains that our current third-part system of payment is moving toward rationing by insurance company bureaucrats. "Insurance companies have become way too interested in what is happening between the patient and the doctor," he laments. "They have become voyeurs, peeping Toms, peering into one of the most intimate relationships in a patient's life."
Consumer-driven care will let patients "ration" or control their own care without interference from government or private bureaucrats. If my children and grand-children can't have what I have, then, this, it would seem, is the next best alternative.

Oakley's Gretchen Bleiler Stars in 2009 Stance Snowboard Film
Oakley's Gretchen Bleiler stars in the 2009 Stance Snowboard film. The movie starts with her recalling a dramatic fall and what she learned. It then goes on to show why she is one of the best women in snowboarding.
The film combines the best female snowboarders in the business, a super talented film crew, and only the best shots, the Stance film is a must-see. Not only do they create the most innovative female snowboarding film to date, but they push snowboarding's creative and cinematic boundaries. It's pretty obvious from the teaser that not only do these girls kill it on their boards, they ride because they love to, and they want to share their passion with anyone who's watching. These girls inspire girls everywhere, not just on the mountain, but in life. Check out the teaser and download the 2009 Stance Snowboard Film.

Don't worry, it's OK to *have* patents, you just can't *use* them very well...
Don't worry, it's OK to *have* patents, you just can't *use* them very well...
The Performance MX really is brilliant - works on almost any surface; wireless with good range (I use it as a remote, too); rechargable but you can continue using it while charging since it just means plugging in a usb cable - brilliant!
unless, of course, you count phones...
Oh and one minor detail: did you see the final compiled code sizes and how much smaller the optimized versions are (esp. clang!). I'm willing to bet the entire benchmark just code "optimized away" by dead code elimination; and that's an entirely unrealistic situation... Also, where's the code? Is this reproducible?
The benchmark isn't worth anything.
And you base this on what? Did the spagetti-monster tell you JSON was technically a better fit, or that XQuery doesn't work?
I think there's some merit to blaming the reporter for being negligent. But it's important to note that that does not in any way, shape or form excuse the behavior of the police in this matter.
Frankly, I think individual officers in cases like these should be held personally responsible for infractions they commit, even if they're just following orders, and even if they didn't know any better. It happens all too frequently that some anonymous police or other organization gets blamed, and the consequences to anyone personally are then irrelevant at best. Perhaps some committee harasses those involved; or the police pays some fine (but that's really the taxpayers paying it, after all) - but at the end of the day, the actual people that in all likelihood intentionally violated other's rights get away scott free.
And there's no pushback from inside the organization, because, well, nobody ever got fired for following orders when there's even a whiff of plausible deniability here. Nobody is taking responsibility for their own actions; so it shouldn't surprise anyone that the police act irresponsibly and unethically despite the fact that most people involved only ever had the best of intentions. If you want it to be normal for the officers in a raid to question the need for it, the circumstances in which it is made, the force with which it is executed, or the damage that is done to those they raid, then there's got to be an incentive for officers to push back and do what's right. Right now, we reward officers for doing what's wrong and punish them for thinking and having a conscience, and that is deeply disturbing.
Heck, I bet anybody that texts at all probably is more likely to text recklessly while driving; we should just issue them a traffic violation whenever they text to save some time and trouble.
So? even if true, that's only meaningful if less than 90% of the set of "people that drive and that text" text *while* driving. And that I seriously doubt.
In other words: the frequency of texting surely correlates with the frequency of texting while driving, but I doubt that after correcting for that texting while stopped predicts texting while driving very strongly.
Is it any less "armchair" to simply assume an article is valid without corroboration, or to assume this particular scientist is a fraud without actually checking?
Just because it's more easily said than done doesn't make it untrue - and I strongly suspect none of us particularly care about these specific results anyhow, so of course we'll just comment from afar without actually doing anything.
I mean, if this bothers you, do you have an alternative suggestion?
They just removed the UI - this doesn't affect things like Firebug, Noscript, and they *probably* didn't even remove the UI completely - if you can call about:config a UI.
That depends on what kind of slowness they mean - bandwidth, or latency? I don't think X dealt well at all with medium-to-high latencies, so that's perhaps what you're seeing.
You suggest that the 5th applies equally serious limitations to all laws, and that therefore Noryungi's argument is irrelevant since it would equally apply to a good law.
I'm not so convinced that's acutally true: The 5th applies particularly well to "crimes" that affect no others. And laws that try to control not how you treat others but how you treat yourself are perhaps intrinsically unwelcome. If you're not even free to make your own choices even when they don't harm others... well, what exactly are you free to do then? Choose a favorite color as long as it's red, white or blue?
Indirectly, the 5th encourages laws that affect how people treat each other or behave publically, and discourage laws about private, unverifiable behavior - and indeed child pornography unfortunately falls in the latter category. And perhaps that's not surprising, because the laws aren't actually targeting the appropriate crime - the "problem" (hopefully) isn't trying to impose control on people (even if you think they're guilty of thoughtcrime), the problem is that it might encourage actual abuse of children.
I think it's wise not to let an emotive but ultimately rather rare crime undermine something so fundamentally beneficial to long-term sustained freedom. The 5th isn't just a good law now, it encourages the system of laws to stay that way, and that's something that we really shouldn't take for granted.
Because the alternative is that he wouldn't speak up at all, and the harm caused by murder is greater than that by theft. In essence, this can be construed as a whistleblowing case: better to
I also don't think it's a very convincing example, but just because somebody is guilty of *some* crime doesn't necessarily mean you want to convict him. Not to mention the fact that guilty does not mean bad - there are so many crazy laws out there, I seriously doubt there are many people in the country that aren't "guilty" of something.
To use the inevitable car analogy, if a researcher discovers that all automobiles manufactured by GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Honda can be unlocked, started, and driven with the use of a paperclip and that researcher adopts your policy, what happens?
I don't understand how your comment got modded Insightful, but here goes...
The car analogy isn't at all appropriate. Unlike physical car locks, software kernels can are are regularly patched. The types of risk are completely different.
Perhaps responsible disclosure is a better option. But your argument does not in any way support that statement.
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent. -- Sagan

Q: The movie "The Great Escape" is one of my all-time favorites. I know the film was based on an actual prison break during World War II. When and where did the escape occur? -- L.I.D., Daytona, Fla.
A: The escape took 600 men more than a year to plan. The prison camp was Stalag Luft III, located in what is now Poland. The escape occurred on March 24, 1944.
While most of the film is based on true events, two events were fabricated: Steve McQueen's motorcycle scenes and the theft of a German airplane by Hendley (James Garner) and Blythe (Donald Pleasence).
Paul Brickhill (1916-1991) wrote the book on which the film is based. He piloted a Spitfire aircraft that was shot down over Tunisia in March 1943. He was taken to Stalag Luft III, where he assisted in the escape preparations.
Q: Artist Frederic Remington, famous for his illustrations, paintings and sculptures, has a name synonymous with the Old West. His middle name was unusual -- Sackrider. Why was he given that name? -- G.F., Bel Air South, Md.
A: Frederic Remington was born in 1861 in Canton, N.Y. He was the only child of Seth Remington and Clara Sackrider Remington. His middle name is his mother's maiden name.
Remington attended Yale University, but he left school after one year to care for his ailing father. After his father died, he took a job as a reporter. He made his first trip west in 1881 and sold his first sketch to Harper's Weekly that year. Remington died in 1909 at age 48.
Q: What is the medical term for getting gray hair? -- D.C.M., Pottsville, Pa.
A: Poliosis. It comes from "polios," the Greek word for "gray."
Q: What is the root of the word "minister"? -- H.M., Mesa, Ariz.
A: Minister can be traced to Latin "minister," meaning "attendant" or "servant," indicating humility for men of the church.
Q: I don't think about the American hobo very often, but when I do, I always picture him with a stick over one shoulder with a bag at the end. I believe there is a name for this bag. Do you know what it is? -- O.B., Santa Fe, N.M.
A: It's called a "bindle." Bindle comes from a German word meaning "bundle" or "bale." You are right -- the bindle made with cloth or a blanket is part of the visual American culture of the hobo.
Q: At our wedding reception, the best man read a poem he wrote for us. It was beautiful and something I'll keep forever. I'm told there is a word for this type of poem, but I have never been able to find out what it is. Can you tell me? -- J.H., Greensboro, N.C.
A: I can -- it's an "epithalamium." An epithalamium is a form of poem that is written in honor of a bride and/or bridegroom.
Q: If I were to measure 2,000 pounds of something, I would have a ton. Is there a term for 100 kilograms? -- T.M., DeRidder, La.
A: "Quintal" is one word that comes to mind.
Q: I was reading a biography of a person who was a roleo champion. I've never head of a roleo. What is it? -- P.H., St. Louis
A: A roleo is a logrolling competition. In the match, two people stand on a floating log and attempt to dislodge the other while the log spins. The last one standing wins. Logrolling is also known as log birling.
(Send your questions to Mr. Know-It-All at firstname.lastname@example.com or c/o Universal Uclick, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.)
The truth of 'The Great Escape'
Q: The movie "The Great Escape" is one of my all-time favorites. I know the film was based on an actual prison break during World War II. When and where did the escape occur? -- L.I.D., Daytona, Fla.
