Perdue is promoting her budget adjustment plan. The plan includes a three-quarter-cent sales tax increase that would generate $760 million in additional funds next year.
A large portion of that money would help eliminate mandated cuts for local school districts that are projected to reach $500 million.

A body found in a Westminster pond has been identified as that of a man who had been missing for more than a week.
Westminster police Tuesday say the body is that of 36-year-old John Lucas "Luke" Edwards of Arvada.
Authorities had been searching for Edwards since he failed to show up for work Dec. 10. He was last seen leaving a holiday party at a nearby hotel early Dec. 9.
Edwards' body was found Monday during a search of the pond that had been requested by his family.

One-day lift tickets to ski at Vail or Beaver Creek are now $129 for people who walk up to the window to buy them at the resorts.
Aspen Mountain has raised its walk-up, single-day lift ticket price to $117
People who buy in advance, online or for more than one day -- or who can wait until after peak season to ski -- can pay lower prices.
Vail and Aspen's last-minute lift ticket prices crossed the $100 mark during the 2010-2011 season.
Vail and Beaver Creek lift tickets also let buyers ski or ride at Arapahoe Basin plus Vail Resorts Inc.'s other Colorado resorts, which are Breckenridge and Keystone.

Here is my wish list for the season. I probably won't get all that I wish for. I never do but there have been many times that things have gone my way. So here is my Christmas wish list:
• That each child who wants to succeed have a mentor who can help him or her reach that goal.
• That battered and abused women will find the courage to say enough is enough and move beyond that relationship.
• That elected officials will put the what's best for everyone above their selfish motives.
As is our tradition, my family and I have built a Christmas light display for our friends and neighbors of all ages to enjoy. I am sure it will bring a smile to the face of anyone who visits.
As Christmas day approaches, I find myself thinking back to some of my favorite holiday memories. And after my third piece of fruitcake, I feel brave enough to share them with you.
I remember the first Christmas our family had together after my mom and stepdad married. My dad (the step part had faded away by then) bought my mother a new camera, and carefully wrapped it, placed a bow on top and placed it under the Christmas tree.
I didn't send out very many Christmas cards this year and it's not because of the high price of postage or Christmas cards. I didn't have that many addresses. When I sat down to address cards, I only had about 20 addresses.
I ran across this the other day, and I thought it was so appropriate...please...to enjoy.
Wish List for Santa
In a world of greed and fear, Santa is unique.
Everyone likes Santa and thinks he's pretty neat.
So why don't we ask Santa for the things we really need,
Instead of more of the useless junk for which the children plead.
Why don't we ask Santa and the reindeer and the sleigh,
To help us solve the problems which confront the world today?
I don't know when they bought them but I'm glad they did. After decades, the city of Quincy has invested in new holiday lights. They look fabulous, too. Gone are the crusty and matted, once-green garlands that saw better days 10 years ago. Gone are the garish lights that were haphazardly thrown over the magnificent oaks on the courthouse lawn.
Granted, there was a mistake made when the holly trees were hacked last week but everyone involved is sorry. Jack McLean, city manager, immediately acknowledged the mistake and vowed to never let it happen again.
On Nov. 16 Kathy Garner took office as Gadsden County judge, having been appointed by the governor to replace the honorable Stewart Parsons, who is retiring.
I got some great news last week. My cousin's son won his local Patriot's Pen contest, sponsored by the Thomson, Ga. Veterans of Foreign Wars post and its Ladies Auxiliary. He placed third at the state level.
At first glance, you might think, so what? A lot of kids enter essay contests and many of them win some nice prizes. Happens every day, right?
But this is an extra-special case, considering Tyler Shelton is an extra-special boy.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
PTVS Installation
Installing PTVS is relatively easy. You basically need three things:
Starting with 2.1 Beta and VS 2013, you can install PTVS into Express for Web and
Express for Desktop editions! The result is a powerful Python IDE that doesn't cost anything. The Express for Web edition is focused on Web development, while the Express for Desktop includes C++, etc.
PTVS 2.0 VS 2013.msi (Recommended)
PTVS 2.0 VS 2012.msi
PTVS 2.0 VS 2010.msi
You can also try the latest bits:
PTVS 2.1 Beta 2 download page
1. Install your preferred edition:
VS Express 2013 for Web
VS Express 2013 for Desktop
2. Install
VS 2013 Update 2
3. Install PTVS 2.1 Beta 2 [note: it's Beta]
IronPython 2.7.4
Help me decide
which interpreter to use.
Start Visual Studio: go to File/New/Project. Depending on which interpreters(s) you've installed, you should see a list like this. Select "Python Application":
Now start the Interactive Prompt: Tools/Python Tools/Python Interactive. Enter "import sys" and "sys.version". You should see something similar to this:
You have everything you need to start programming in Python in Visual Studio.
What makes Python awesome is the breath/depth of freely available packages. For a taste, browse through
PyPI, or
SciPy.org's Topical Software. You can install Python packages individually or via a full "Distro". Installing individual packages allows you to tailor your environment with a smaller footprint. Distro's on the other hand come with 100+
packages that have been pre-built and well tested together. We recommend installing a Distro.
There are several Python Distros available. Each one has free and paid versions, as well as 32/64 editions. You should select one that matches your interpreter's bit-ness:
Note: after installing a Distro, it'll take a few minutes before Intellisense is available for all packages.
Here are some recommended packages. Generally you want to download the latest version that matches your Python interpreter and its bit-ness. You can install these from their websites, from PyPI, or directly from Professor Chistoph Gohlke's Python/Windows
Starting with PTVS 2.1Beta, you can install packages directly from within PTVS. Templates such Flask will prompt to do this for you automatically. You can also right click on your Python environment and select "Install Python Package", or "Install
from requirements.txt"
You can also install packages from outside VS and they'll show up in the list of installed packages for that Interpreter.
To install packages using Python's own "pip" utility, install it from from
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip. From then, you can simply enter a command (elevated) to grab packages, eg:
pip install Django==1.6
pip install Django==1.6
Last but not least, you can Install from each project's corresponding website:
Or use Canopy or Anaconda
If you are having trouble with installation or need some recommendations:

Another WIP.
I visited Elburg (here on google maps) this summer, a tiny town with medieval origins. I decided to make a map, based on some old maps I found on the web (here for example). It's not supposed to be historically accurate. I took some pics from google maps to help with the placement of buildings, which turned out to be a nice background filler texture.
The excellent buildings and trees are by rpgmapmaker (forum thread here). I did the church myself, in what is supposed to be a similar style.
There's a lot of work left to do, but I thought I'd post a shot. Comments welcome.
Another WIP.
This is progressing quite nicely...

Looks very good so far. I visted Elburg for the first time this year as well
Elburg on Google:
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
All houses now done, and the trees are in. Next challenge is getting a decent looking city wall.
Nice work Fransie! Are you Dutch? If you like this kind of villages with walls or water canals to protect the population in ancient times, you will probably like Naarden too!
You will find several of these 'vestingssteden' in the Netherlands.
I am Dutch indeed, John. I live in Delft where there isn't much left of the old city defenses.
Progress is slow, the city walls gave me a very hard time to get right. I think I'm gonna draw seperate towers, it's rather obvious that the four I've placed so far are duplicates. And I'll have a go at a windmill.

Current Python 3k support in SQLAlchemy is provided by a customized
2to3 script which wraps Python's 2to3 tool.
Installing Distribute
Distribute should be installed with the Python3 installation. The
distribute bootloader is included.
Running as a user with permission to modify the Python distribution,
install Distribute:
python3 distribute_setup.py
Installing SQLAlchemy in Python 3
Once Distribute is installed, SQLAlchemy can be installed directly.
The 2to3 process will kick in which takes several minutes:
python3 setup.py install
Converting Tests, Examples, Source to Python 3
To convert all files in the source distribution, run
SQLAlchemys "sa2to3.py" script, which monkeypatches a preprocessor
onto the 2to3 tool:
python3 sa2to3.py --no-diffs -w lib test examples
The above will rewrite all files in-place in Python 3 format.
Running Tests
To run the unit tests, ensure Distribute is installed as above,
and also that at least the ./lib/ and ./test/ directories have been converted
to Python 3 using the source tool above. A Python 3 version of Nose
can be acquired from Bitbucket using Mercurial:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nose3/
cd nose3
python3 setup.py install
The tests can then be run using the "nosetests3" script installed by the above,
using the same instructions in README.unittests.
Current 3k Issues
Current bugs and tickets related to Py3k are on the Py3k milestone in trac:

Ameda Cool 'N Carry Milk Storage Tote
- Product Review (submitted on October 14, 2009):
- I was given one cooler as a gift and was very pleased. I am purchasing a second ,as others have said to have one set for me to add to while at work and the other to go with baby to daycare.This tote was very well thought out when made. The ice packs line 3 of the sides of the cooler ensuring that the breastmilk will stay cold in transit.I like that the cooler is streamlined and small- not padded with bulky cooler fabric. This makes it easy to fit into my bag to go to work or into baby's daycare bag. I like that the bottles have the type of cap that a nipple can be added to to create a bottle easily. This means I do not have to send extra empty bottles to daycare as well- just a set of bottle nipples. Overall I feel This bag is a great value for any breastfeeding and working mother!

Hi there, I haven't been here too long myself, but I think I can help you get started because of comments that were given to me. :-)
Please name your continents so that we're all talking about the same thing. It's easier to comment on specific map areas that way.

At Memorial Sloan Kettering we offer a variety of clinical trials for people with mesothelioma. While some studies are looking for genetic factors that predispose people to the disease, others are exploring ways to combine chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation to optimize outcomes. We are also conducting studies testing novel therapies.
Our high volume of patients with mesothelioma enables us to be leaders in running trials for this rare tumor type. For example, our medical oncologists led the largest international randomized trial in mesothelioma testing a drug called vorinostat, which was developed at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Although this trial failed to show a benefit for mesothelioma, other types of drugs are now being developed.
Our mesothelioma treatment team is experienced in selecting people who are most likely to benefit from a particular therapy, and we can help guide you through the process of enrolling in the most appropriate clinical trial.
Here you can find a continually updated listing of Memorial Sloan Kettering's current clinical trials for mesothelioma. To learn more about a study, choose from the list below.

|TRON: Uprising
Perl was a character in TRON: Uprising.
Perl was at a club when she saw Zed sitting alone at a table watching his friend Mara dance. Perl tricked Zed into going away from the club and then showing her around Able's garage. She then made him go into Able's private office and show her around. When he showed her the one-of-a-kind ENCOM-786, Perl showed her true colors. She punched Zed from behind and stole the light cycle.
She drove it to her boss, the head of a crime ring. She didn't know that Mara and Zed were following, but they soon caught up with her. Perl began taunting Zed and telling him how pathetic he was, but Mara punched her. The baton for the ENCOM-786 fell out of her hand and Zed grabbed it. He and Mara sped off, with Perl and the rest of the criminals close behind. The chase ended only when Zed took them into the path of Paige, one of General Tesler's agents. Perl's light cycle clipped Paige and both flew into the air. The gang's light cycles hit Perl's, and they too were overturned. Perl landed on top of Paige, who, when she got up, placed a hand on Perl's shoulder and led her off.

Why, no man could keep his mitts off a Sexy Pirateer when she's struttin' around in that pretty costume. Blow me down, would you look at that Pirate Queen and Princess o'er there! Them long coats and short skirts would make any sailor weak at the knees, and those pirate hats o' theirs put me weather-worn thing to shame.

Conduct information
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a Judicial Notification and why do I have to meet with Judicial Affairs?
A. A notice is simply an email (written statement) that alleges a student's involvement is allegedly in violation of university policy. Having a notification from OJA does not mean a student is "in trouble." The university has deemed off –campus violations of the alcohol and drug code of conduct to be actionable by the university judicial process. A conference is held to determine whether a policy violation occurred. Reports can be written by any member of the campus community, or anyone outside of the community as well.
Q. What if I just don't show up?
A. Failure to attend your conference could result in several different things happening. Initially, an administrative flag will be placed on your account. You will be unable to add, drop, or register for classes, and transcripts are not available to you with a hold on your account. Additionally, your case may be heard in your absence. Subsequently, a decision may be rendered with sanction, conditions, and/or restrictions being placed upon you. Failure to attend your conference does not exempt you from the outcomes determined by the judicial officer. You may also be "charged" with another violation of the Code of Conduct (Request or Orders), which would in turn result in another allegation against you.
If a student fails to respond to notice from the Director of Judicial Affairs, a second notice will be sent. The student will be given notice of this offense and requested to set up a meeting. Unless the student responds to this notice within two business days by answering the initial notice, the student hold will not be released until until the conference has been concluded. In some cases the student may be interim suspended until such time as s/he responds to the initial notification.
Q. What does the conference mean?
A. After a report is received in the Office of Judicial Affairs, an email is sent to the student(s) or student organization(s) involved in the incident. The email indicates which policies the student(s) or student organization may have violated, and the time and date of the judicial conference. There is also an overview of the rights and responsibilities which will be afforded to every participant in the judicial process. In the student file are copies of the report which indicates the names of the referral agent(s) and provides a narrative description of the alleged activities which substantiate the notification. It is important that the student thoroughly reviews the policies and incident description. Decisions made regarding any potential policy violations will solely be based on what takes place at the conference. Cases will be heard through informal discussion, conferences, and meetings with the accused student. All decisions are subject to final review by the Director of Judicial Affairs. A request for final review by the Vice President for Student Affairs must be made within five business days after initial sanctioning possibility of the Office of Judicial affairs to coordinate the adjudication. Direct supervisory jurisdiction is assumed by the Office of Judicial Affairs. It is the responsibility of the Office of Judicial Affairs to coordinate the adjudication process among various adjudicating partners.
Q. What is preponderance of evidence?
A. This is the standard of proof used in the Student Judicial Process. For a student to be found responsible for a violation, the evidence must indicate that it is more likely than not that the violation occurred. This is very different from the criminal court system.
Preponderance of the evidence standard is necessary to ensure a fair and equitable judicial process.
Q. Who will be present at the student conference?
A. Conferences will take place with either The Director of Judicial Affairs or The University Disciplinary Committee. Students are entitled to have an advisor or "support person" present at the conference. This person is there to support the need of the student, and does not take an active role other than to "quietly" assisting the student. At no time can the advisor or "support person" speak directly to the Judicial Officer. Parents or Guardians are allowed into Judicial Conferences only after the Director of Judicial Affairs has met with the student and only at the student's request.The "support person" may be an individual of choice, but must be someone not otherwise involved in the incident or investigation.
Q. What can a student expect?
A. A student can expect to "be heard". A conference is not an opportunity to "prove guilt or innocence", no student is "presumed guilty" prior to the hearing. The incident report represents only a portion of what took place in the incident, students are being asked to attend to describe their involvement (if you choose). The Director or the committee will ask questions regarding the incident and discuss with you how the conduct may affect others, and look to establish your continued suitability as a student, in the community. Once all information has been shared, a decision may be rendered regarding the policies violated, or a referral may be made to the University Disciplinary Committee. And if appropriate judicial action is taken including but not limited to the range of sanctions in accordance with our process and procedures.
Q. Do students need legal representation with OJA?
A. The Office of Judicial Affairs renders decisions regarding the violation of university policy, and not local, state, or federal laws. In some incidents there may be an overlap of policy and laws, but the priority for the Office of Judicial Affairs is to determine if a student's conduct is in violation of The Student Code of Conduct. The University may proceed with judicial action before a trial or postpone action until after a trial; depending on the circumstances of the case. The policies or procedures of the Office of Judicial Affairs are designed to provide students with fair and equitable solutions of their involvement in the alleged misconduct. It is a student's personal decision to seek legal assistance to manage their criminal/civil proceedings, and I recommend that attorney's speak with our University Attorney. Should a student ultimately choose to have an attorney present, they would attend as your advisor in a committee setting but not in a judicial conferences (the same stipulations apply for an attorney as an advisor).
Q. What we do after an incident report is brought to the attention of Judicial Affairs?
A. The Director of Judicial Affairs will review all reports (IR, Police, written notice or indictment) upon it being sent to the Office of Judicial Affairs. If there is the potential that a policy was violated during the incident, the student is looked up in Banner and Topnet to verify student status and a file is completed. A judicial notification will be sent to all students included in the report. Students will receive an email detailing when and where their judicial conference will take place, and which Student Code of Conduct should be reviewed in preparation for the meeting. At the conference, the student will be able to describe their version of the alleged events and learn the outcome of the conference. All students have the opportunity to invite witnesses to comment on their involvement. If a student chooses to appeal, they have (5) business days to file their appeal to The Office of Judicial Affairs.
Q. How long are discipline records maintained?
A. Records on all conduct proceedings involving students are maintained by the Office of Judicial Affairs pertaining to code of conduct violations for three years from the date of graduation. After this date, the record is destroyed. A judicial record is not part of your academic transcript, unless a student is suspended or permanently dismissed from the university. Notations involving suspension can be removed after the suspension period has passed at the written request of the student. Records on student organizations are maintained for an indefinite length of time.
Q. Who has access to my conduct record?
A. A student's conduct file is kept for internal record-keeping purposes and to provide some insight into a student's past behavior if additional problems arise. Past decisions that resulted in a finding of responsibility will be considered in subsequent hearings when sanctions are determined. These records are released to no one other than university officials at WKU who have a legitimate need to know and others as permitted by law. In cases involving violent behavior, the accuser may elect to be notified of the outcome of the hearing. This single exception is in keeping with the re-authorization of Higher Education Act (1998) and the Students' Right to Privacy Act, as amended. Discipline records are maintained for five years from the date of an incident. Students and alumni may authorize record releases. Record release forms can be completed in the Office of Judicial Affairs.
Q. Will my parents find out?
A. Yes. Western Kentucky University is committed to the education and development of students. The University is concerned about the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs in the collegiate setting. As an institution of higher learning, we are concerned about the negative affect the misuse of alcohol and other drugs has on the educational process.
The Director of Judicial Affairs has the liberty to inform the parent or legal guardian of a student under the age of 21 who has been found in violation of the University's drug and alcohol policy. The University recognizes that the majority of our students are adults and wishes to respect the rights and privileges of that status. We also recognize that the input and involvement of parents can have a dramatic affect on the success and decision making of college students.
Parents will receive notification of the following behaviors associated with The Code of Conduct.
1. Any violation of the University Alcohol Policy, or
2. Any violation of the University Drug Policy, or
3. The student (under 21) was arrested by University Police in connection with a violation of the Alcohol or Drug Policy or for DUI, Public intoxication, Minor in Possession or any other drug or alcohol-related incident resulting in citation or arrest.
4. The student received medical assistance due to incapacitation, suspected incapacitation, and self injury or
In addition to the educational interventions, any student found in violation of the Alcohol Policy three times in any one-year period may be suspended from the University. Similarly, any student with two violations of the Drug Policy while enrolled at the institution may be suspended from the University. Also, any student who is found to be manufacturing or distributing drugs or attempting to manufacture or distribute drugs on or off campus may be suspended or expelled from the University.

Our Sunday Supper table today is honoring the incomparable JuliaChild and I´m sitting down to have brunch with her and this wonderful recipe that combines the perennial favorite that is cinnamon toast with a vanilla custard, resulting in a sweet and creamy bread pudding. A recipe from the great Julia of course.
It starts with white bread that is slathered with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. It´s broiled so it becomes a caramelized toast. How can that not be good as a first layer in a bread pudding?
Then there´s a custard to be made the traditional way, though the eggs and sugar are beaten to the ribbon stage, which makes this a very fluffy mixture. Maybe I went a bit overboard here, since I was broiling the bread slices at the same time that I had the eggs in the stand mixer, and when I added the hot milk to it I might, just might, have forgotten it for a few minutes, while the very dutiful mixer continued to do it´s job.
I also sprinkled a few tablespoons sugar on top, after the pudding was fully cooked, and broiled it a few minutes. I think Julia would´ve approved, both the crunchy top and the bourbon in the sauce. I did, it was just the finishing touch it needed. This is a great brunch dish that will be a crowd pleaser.

Inclusive Wealth Report 2012
The International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP)* announced at the Rio+20 Summit on June 17, 2012. the launch of the Inclusive Wealth Report 2012 (IWR 2012). The report measures the wealth of nations.
Inclusive Wealth Report 2012
Download PDF | Read more about the report
The report presents a new economic index, which looks beyond the traditional short term economic and development yardsticks of gross domestic product (GDP) and the Human Development Index (HDI). The Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI) assesses changes in a country's productive base, including produced, human, and natural capital over time. By taking a more holistic approach, the IWI shows governments the true state of their nation's wealth and the sustainability of its growth.
Twenty countries were assessed in the IWR 2012 over a period of 19 years (1990-2008). Together they represent more than half of the world population and almost three quarters of world GDP and include high, middle, and low-income economies on all continents.
IWI Per Capita Compared to GDP Per Capita and HDI
|Average annual economic performance of 20 countries when assessed with Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI) per capita, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita and Human Development Index (HDI) over a period of 19 years (1990-2008). Credit: UNU-IHDP.
This is the first of a series of reports that will be published every two years to monitor the well-being and sustainability of countries.
A Summary for Decision-Makers of the IWR 2012 is also available, print copies of which can be picked up at the UNU booth as well. To obtain the digital copy or sign up to order a print copy, please refer to the Website of the Inclusive Wealth Report.
Key findings from the report are:
- While 19 out of the 20 countries experienced a decline in natural capital, six also saw a decline in their inclusive wealth, putting them on an unsustainable track, Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, South Africa and Nigeria were the nations that failed to grow. The remaining 70 per cent of countries show IWI per-capita growth, indicating sustainability.
- High population growth with respect to IWI growth created unsustainable conditions in five of the six countries mentioned above. Russia's lack of growth was due largely to a drop in manufactured capital
- 25 per cent of countries which showed a positive trend when measured by GDP per capita and HDI were found to have a negative IWI per capita. The primary driver of the difference in performance was the decline in natural capital
- With the exception of France, Germany, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States, all countries surveyed have a higher share of natural capital than manufactured capital, highlighting its importance
- Human capital has increased in every country and is the prime capital form that offsets the decline in natural capital in most economies
- There are clear signs of trade-off effects between the different forms of capital
- Technological innovation and/or oil capital gains (due to rising prices) outweigh decline in natural capital and damages from climate change, moving a number of countries – Russia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela - from an unsustainable to a sustainable trajectory
- Estimates of inclusive wealth can be improved significantly with better data on the stocks of natural, human and social capital and their values for human well-being.
While inclusive wealth has increased for most countries, the report shows that an examination of natural capital is crucial for policy makers.
Even though a reduction in natural capital can be offset by the accumulation of manufactured and human capital, which are reproducible, many natural resources such as oil and minerals cannot be replaced. As a result, a more inclusive definition of wealth that will secure a legacy for future generations is urgently needed in the discussion of sustainable economic and social development.
The report, which will be produced every two years, makes the following specific recommendations:
- Countries witnessing diminishing returns in natural capital should invest in renewable natural capital to improve their IWI and the well-being of their citizens. Example investments include reforestation and agricultural biodiversity
- Nations should incorporate the IWI within planning and development ministries to encourage the creation of sustainable policies
- Countries should speed up the process of moving from an income-based accounting framework to a wealth accounting framework
- Macroeconomic policies should be evaluated on the basis of IWI rather than GDP per capita
- Governments and international organizations should establish research programmes to value key components of natural capital, in particular ecosystems.

Mix acrylic colors with acrylic mediums in varying proportions at all stages of a work. Gloss and matte mediums modify the reflective characteristics of the surface.
Gloss Medium — Transparent after drying, this medium enhances the effect and depth of colors. It dries to a glossy finish recommended for making glazes.
Matte Medium — This translucent medium brings a degree of mattness that reduces color density. It can be mixed with a gloss medium for a satin finish. Shake before use.

The huge mound of debris still sits where it came to rest in La Conchita, a town of about 300 residents who enjoy a laid-back beach lifestyle without the expenses of places such as Santa Barbara about 15 miles to the north along U.S. Highway 101. The buried homes are a stark reminder of lives lost—and the danger that persists. Resident John Leis survived the deadly Jan. 10, 2005, mudslide, and still leaves his rented house to find a hotel room during heavy rains. "It's always there in the back of your mind," Leis said of the danger.
In La Conchita, the slide came on a Monday, after several days of rain. The sun was shining, and many of those who had been stuck indoors were outside. As a result, when the hill broke loose, many people were able to get away. The slide in Oso happened Saturday morning, when many people typically are at home. Of the 49 structures in the neighborhood, authorities believe at least 25 were full-time residences.
One man became the face of the La Conchita tragedy. Jimmie Wallet had left his wife and three daughters at home to pick up some ice cream when the slide hit. He watched the wall of mud curve toward his block and ran to his home, but it was buried.
A jury found that the company that owned 700 acres on the bluff above La Conchita failed to build adequate drainage. La Conchita Ranch Co. agreed to sell its assets to pay for damages claimed by 36 plaintiffs who were injured or lost relatives or property. Meanwhile, geologists have said that the bluff overlooking La Conchita will give way again.

RALEIGH, NC - Wake County authorities are looking into a series of armed robberies and kidnappings in the last week.
Authorities say an armed man kidnapped a woman in a neighborhood Thursday night and made her drive to a nearby ATM. Investigators say the woman escaped and the gunman drove off in her car.
Last Sunday, investigators said a suspect put a gun to a woman's face, assaulted her mail friend and made off with the woman's purse. Also that day, a man whose description matched that of the assailant in the previous incident made a woman drive him in her Jeep Cherokee to a bank.
On Monday, a man forced his way into a home, held a man and woman at gunpoint and took jewelry and a laptop computer.

Government intrusion
Some threads that have appeared on AWeb lately have given me food for thought.
We are increasingly being asked to 'shop' people, there is CCTV everywhere, and the intrusion seems to be increasing with some new government idea always being questioned.
I am torn over the issue. On the one hand it does seem that our freedom of choice is being compromised, and 'Big Brother' is always watching, but on the other hand I think community minded individual's would accept these restrictions without question or complaint as it can help so many innocent people while curbing the actions of the less scrupulous people among us.
Is it so wrong that we are asked to report tax evasion and fraudulent accounting? How would it be discovered otherwise?
Is it so wrong that CCTV is everywhere? It helps solve crimes and makes the streets safer for us all.
I know there needs to be a balance, but how can the rights and freedom of the innocent be protected while also preventing the less scrupulous from taking advantage of the same freedom to do exactly as they like, no matter who they hurt or who pays the cost.
What are your view on this, ie. are the costs, and the intrusion, worth the benefits.
The question was about where the line should be drawn. Other people have talked about getting the balance right.
I personally don't have a problem with CCTV etc in public places. My line is drawn with surveillance into private lives. If the authorities want to monitor emails or any other kind of private communications or activites then they should have specific reasons and should should target specific suspected individuals. Why should I be monitored on the off chance that I commune with a terrorist?
As for the 'if you have nothing to hide then what's the problem' argument, how would you feel about having someone peering into your living room window all day and night? You may well only be watching TV or reading a book and doing nothing wrong, but I bet you still wouldn't like it.
So that's where my line is. Private lives should be allowed to be private, unless the police or whoever already have a valid and specific reason to monitor activities more closely.
Tim Berners-Lee ...
Of all internet developments, Berners-Lee said those costing him the most sleep were attempts by governments to tighten their control of or spy on the internet, which he said amounted to "a destruction of human rights". He was highly critical of British government plans to expand surveillance of communication to include emails, social media and Skype, as well as monitoring all web use by individuals.
But he also said he was worried by the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a proposed US bill that would increase the government's ability to enforce patents and copyright.
"[It] is threatening the rights of people in America, and effectively rights everywhere, because what happens in America tends to affect people all over the world. Even though the Sopa and Pipa acts were stopped by huge public outcry, it's staggering how quickly the US government has come back with a new, different, threat to the rights of its citizens."
@Hansa: Privacy & 3 Abrahamic religions Jewish/Christian/Islam ?
It seems that many here are happy to live in a police state. JC and I seem to be the only ones to say:- Having nothing to hide is no defence for the destruction of privacy.
It might be attempted to be asserted in riposte that "We are all atheists now" but, in this month celebrating the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic, I am reminded of the old naval saying of a seafaring nation that: "There are very few atheists, if any, in an open lifeboat at sea"!
In addition, from the perspective of those accounting professionals who participate in markets because they believe in the efficacy of the market with transparent market forces, one of the underlying assumptions that many economists make is that every market participant should have - as far as possible - perfect information to be transparent, which suggests to me that "Privacy is not allowed in efficient markets", a conclusion that a minority of readers of this thread might find very surprising.
You might attempt to challenge me: Do you ever draw a line for privacy, dstickl, where you would stop widespread (i.e. not just public sector) use of CCTV etc, in the fight against onerous & intrusive crime, carried out by onerous & intrusive criminals?
As I partially indicated in another thread: My primary concern is for a society that encourages "Goodness, Truth, and Beauty" (which incidentally should be more than skin deep, and which also includes good design e.g. of public buildings, typography, etc, & e.g. as sometimes as exemplified by Apple products), and for a society that discourages "Badness, Lies, and Ugliness", so I do believe that there should be some measures of privacy that protects the immature - including children - who should be given time for innocence.
Inevitably that would lead to my drawing a partial line at "the bedroom door", but I write partial because - in parts of this partially wicked world - the police and legal system should enforce the law (at the lowest possible cost to honest people) against traffickers of sex slaves, terrorists using bedrooms to make bombs, etcetera.
So have I now persuaded some or all of AWEB readers of my moderate approach to "Government intrusion", as set out above, please? Your silence will be sufficient ...
Inadmissible ….
@dstickl - Interesting stance. Would have let it go, apart from your final paragraph '..Your silence will be sufficient ..'
In accord with a lot of your comments, however disagree with your conclusion on the basis of the underlying argument
To start let's address this on two fronts
Area 1 – factual (legal?)
Look at the current EU Human Rights position on this - http://www.europarl.europa.eu/charter/pdf/text_en.pdf
Article 7 - Respect for private and family life
'.. Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications ..'
Area 2 – rather more abstruse
Like so many things in the scripts, everything is open to interpretation and certainly in debate people will read whatever supports their argument at the time
The whole thing about any faith is just that – faith. A belief that does not have to be tangible or provable – just faith in its veracity. Can you 'prove' that '.. God is watching you ..'; of course you cannot, but in no way does that decry from ones faith. However, it does make the assertion questionable when forming an argument – after all without proof anything can be introduced into a debate to support ones point of view
The real benefit of faith is that encourages people to live their life by a code of standards (presently sorely lacking) and your comments '.. My primary concern is for a society that encourages "Goodness, Truth, and Beauty" ..' are very apposite in this context, however it is intangible and can be interpreted by each according to their needs – as your posting demonstrates.
Nevertheless, one can prove more mundane things such as Government snooping
In conclusion, whilst I agree with a great deal of what you say regrettably in today's agnostic world it cannot be used to support a reasoned debate on privacy issues.
@JC:Article 7 doesn't rule out legal respectful surveillance ...
In my humble opinion, the Article 7 phrase "Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications" does not rule out any legal form of surveillance - such as CCTV (where apparently Great Britain shows world leadership) etcetera - so long as it's done respectfully.
@JC: Area 1 knocked down, here goes Area 2!
Hi JC! Now that I've knocked out your Area 1 with my view that legal respectful surveillance is OK, here's my counter to your Area 2:
* You asked: Can I 'prove' that "God is watching you"? However, in my earlier post, I merely stated that ALL three Abrahamic religions (Jewish, Christian and Islam) posit that "God is watching you", which is slightly different! In addition, you did not persuade me that "God is NOT watching you". So it seems that we are left with indirect 'methods' in this Area 2, for example:
* Apparently, at the time Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, he was asked the question: "What made it possible for the Russian Revolution to take place and for Communism to rise to power?" Solzhenitsyn's reply was simple & direct: "Men forgot God."
So have I further persuaded some or all of AWEB readers of my moderate approach to "Government intrusion", as set out above? Again, your silence will be sufficient ...
And God's relevance to privacy is ? ……
Article 7 - '.. so long as it's done respectfully ..'. Time will tell about legitimacy but this phrase could justify breaking any rules
and to be slightly flippant - sounds awfully like Kenny Everett '.. in the best possible taste ..'
Area 2
Again we seem to be getting into the realms of 'Miracle on 34th Street (1994 film)' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_34th_Street_(1994_film)
Probably best to disagree in this area and call it a day because it could run and run – and no – silence does not acquiesce, just no point in taking this one any further
@JC:Thanx 4 confirming CCTV etc is allowed by Article 7 COFROTEU
Hi JC! Thank you for confirming my opinion that legal surveillance - so long as it's done respectfully - by CCTV and/or etcetera is allowed by, and does not transgress, the printed words in English of Article 7 of the CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (2000/C 364/01) as set out in this link:- http://www.europarl.europa.eu/charter/pdf/text_en.pdf
Thank you also for confirming (by your filmography, etc) that your "address", on your second front of your Area 2, was rather more abstruse [& also too abstruse for me!]
Here's my answer to your question of: "And God's relevance to privacy is ? ......"; IF you are mature enough to accept that God may be watching you, THEN respectful surveillance by mortals should be no problem at all for you, because you would be mature enough to accept the consequences of your actions, unlike some criminals.
Is this reply flippant?
I disagree that YOUR faith justifies intrusion into MY privacy.
My view is ...
... God is watching me so CCTV doesn't need to!
Also, and more importantly, God knows your mind, which is far more important than your actions, the viewing of which on grainy distorted images can be very subjective.
@OGA: Panorama on BBC1TV 2nite is planned to show OLD people ...
... God is watching me so CCTV doesn't need to!
Also, and more importantly, God knows your mind, which is far more important than your actions, the viewing of which on grainy distorted images can be very subjective.
Hi OGA! Panorama at 08:30pm on BBC1TV tonight is apparently planned to show an OLD person/people being allegedly abused in a care home - that was allegedly assessed by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) as an "excellent" grade - and the crime(s) were recorded through surveillance, by the patient's daughter!
I feel sure that - on reflection - you'll agree that (even though "God is watching") that surveillance/CCTV is also needed, in order to catch the alleged criminal(s).
Perhaps - if you watch Panorama - you would care to let me know after the TV programme, how you would feel, if CCTV had NOT caught the abuse(s)?
@mwngiol:CQC only acted on CCTV evidence @ Ash Court of Jonathan
Hi mwngiol! Panorama at 08:30pm on BBC1TV tonight showed me that:
* CQC allegedly only acted on CCTV evidence at Ash Court (run by Forest Health Care) of young Jonathan Akino assaulting an old lady - while allegedly washing her - without a chaperone.
* Jonathan Akino was subsequently charged by Met Police for assault, and subsequently sentenced to 18 months jail.
* There were allegedly at least 4 other sackings of staff at Ash Court, following televised misbehaviour.
Now mwngiol, this was a situation where - contrary to your so-called "Balance" posting above - the police [or Government, as per topic] did not, and here I quote your actual words, "already have a valid and specific reason to monitor activities more closely", partly because, and I'm guessing here, CQC had previously given Ash Court an "excellent" rating. Consequently, it seems to me that the police [on behalf of good Government] should respectfully be able to use CCTV [or any other form of surveillance] anywhere they choose, public or private as in a care home bedroom etc, perhaps starting with those apparent high profile risks of people - like you - who write that they disagree that faith or economics of markets (and reasons in my later posts to come) justifies intrusion into privacy.
Regarding your Question of Tuesday 17 April: "How would you feel about having someone peering into your living room window all day and night? You may well only be watching TV or reading a book and doing nothing wrong, but I bet you still wouldn't like it." Here is my Answer: So long as I had what I personally regarded as adequate peace and quiet, I'd be delighted 'to have someone from police and/or Government respectfully peering through my living room window all day and night', because if a burglar entered my home there'd be sufficient evidence to prove that I'd taken all reasonable steps, if there were to be a "Tony Martin" situation.
Finally mwngiol, I have this question for you: Can you advise me what specifically is your rationale / justification for your privacy, please, and its non-intrusion by Government in UK?
That wasn't CCTV
Maybe I wasn't paying sufficient attention to the programme but I was under the impression that this was not an example of CCTV but a deliberately placed hidden camera being used as a result of specific suspicions of abuse.
My justification for my privacy is that I am entitled to it. I believe it a basic right to not be treated as a potential criminal in my own home. Surveillance of private activity should be limited to cases where suspicions of illegal behaviour already exist and should ALWAYS require the existing evidence to be taken to a judge before permission for closer surveillance is given.
I object to living in a police state and any steps towards the routine surveillance of the private lives of citizens, as part of a scattergun approach which treats every individual citizen as a potential criminal with no reasoning or evidence, should be resisted.
Maybe that is where we differ. Your allusions towards religious justification shows that you are comfortable with having faith in the absence of evidence. I do not share that faith.
I'm not saying ...
... all cctv is poor quality, but much is.
Also, as an interim, yes it has its place, but surely we should be bringing people up with common respect and decency so they don't commit these crimes in the first place? (which is in essence what Christianity is all about).
It also widens the debate to whether we should be caring for our own families and not abrogating our responsibilities by palming them off on others. These are after all our parents, who made many and great sacrifices to provide for us, their children - and many probably now regret those choices when they see the selfish, spoiled brats spawned by today's me Me ME! culture.
EDIT - BTW, don't make the mistake of confusing Christianity with the "Church" (whether CofE, RC etc etc) - it is not the same thing, although thankfully we can now say this without getting burnt at the stake for heresy!
Gotcha: Mr loophole used police CCTV to prove that policeman ...
Just started to read "The Art of the Loophole" e.g. p71-2:
Apparently client told police at station that he suffered various ailments & had difficulty providing blood. IF this were the case THEN officer required to call p surgeon 4 expert opinion. But no p surgeon was called, & p statement didn't mention health issues.
Q in court: Why didn't you record my client's ailments either in your pocket notebook or statement?
Police A in court: I didn't mention any ailments because the defendant didn't mention any.
After all prosecution evidence had been given, the prosecutor was asked if there was a CCTV recording of what happened in the custody suite that night.
The CCTV record was produced almost immediately, and showed the defendant standing @ the desk, disclosing all sorts of medical problems! Trial result: Not guilty.
LESSON: IF you ask for a video at the start of a trial & one exists, THEN the officer knows about it, and it may affect the way he gives his evidence!
CONCLUSION: Contrary to some assertions on this thread, the UK is not a "police state" even with CCTV, because the rule of law is practised by some professional lawyers defending laws that were passed by a democratic parliament.
@mwngiol:CCTV cud prove whether .. your assertion's credible ..
I don't see how that example relates to surveillance of innocent civilians going about their private lives.
Let me help: Public CCTV could assist to prove in an English court whether or not your apparent assertion - that said civilians were actually acting innocently [or not] during the period covered by the particular CCTV recording - is credible [or not].
EDIT-01: In the above 'loophole' example, the officer was in fact acting innocently when recorded on CCTV. The problem was that there was allegedly what Winston Churchill could term "a terminological inexactitude" afterwards! And I suggest here that it's also possible that "innocent civilians going about their private lives" might subsequently tell lies about their activities in open court where I believe, in the open English courtroom usually - but I understand not quite always - under English law, that the foundation principle of justice in this country (i.e. England) is the presumption of innocence: the fabled "innocence until proven guilty".
However, there's another "custom and practice" guiding principle in English law that the good advocate dos not ask a question unless the answer is known. So good defence advocates should endeavour to agree as many of the facts with the English prosecution as they can. Hence the need, it seems to me, for the "surveillance of innocent civilians going about their private lives" to establish the truth of those facts that may be subsequently relevant to a case, should it come to an open courtroom.
Crossed wires
You seem to think that I objected to public CCTV. Look back and you will see that I did not.
Time for me to exit this thread methinks.
@mwngiol: Sorry but I'm attempting 2 build 4 private CCTV 2 ...
Sorry, mwngiol, but I'm attempting to build towards a convincing rationale for private CCTV too ... thanks any way for this "Time out" dialogue!
Do "human rights" really exist, or are they merely aspirations?
Do "human rights" really exist, or are they merely aspirations [perhaps to encourage "Goodness, Truth & Beauty" as opposed to badness, lies, etc], when they can be so easily taken away, asked Will Self, as broadcast this morning on BBC Radio 4's "Point of View", see link:-
AND, regarding that high view point "re-developed" water tower with a commanding military view (for surface to air missiles, and CCTV surveillance, etc) of the "Jubilympic Park", an opinion expressed earlier today via "Sky News" regarding the apparent vocal objectors was that "These people are ensconced in a little bubble that all they do is whinge and moan" which, to my mind, neatly counters some of the objections to respectful (i.e. including peace and quiet, etcetera) private CCTV.
In the final analysis ... 1 thanks
... no!
They are vain pretentions used by consumer societies to salve their guilt. If there were such things we would not buy shoes made by undernourished and over-worked children in foreign sweat shops whilst our old people freeze to death because the pitance of a pension the tax man leaves them won't cover the cost of their fuel bills.
Human Rights has become the domain of the criminals
We cannot get rid of terrorists if they have a family here, because the 'rights' of the terrorists children are more important than the safety of our citizens.
The paedophile can live on the same street as his victims, for the same reason, etc.
The good decent citizens have no rights, because the criminals totally ignore the rights of other people and blast them out of existence (eg. steal from them, defraud them, kill or injure them), but those of the criminals always seems to come first in the eyes of the law.
OK - maybe a slight exaggeration, but it does seem to be that way!
That's because, as they have no money, they are entitled to all the top lawyers (especially the human rights brigade) and the normal working person is entitled to jack ....
yes @john 1 thanks
Criminals have to the right to deprive us of our basic rights to keep what we own & stay safe, while still insisting on keeping 'their rights' and causing further distress to their victims.
If this happened in a fictional film they would say it was too farfetched and unrealistic!
