HELLO X Im not sure if im in the correct place - my son is 8 in sept - he is in year 2 and in a huge public shool - to make a long story short - he has been struggling with learning concepts from pre school & we have had alot of outside intervention - anyhoo two years ago he had alot of testing done and his IQ came in then very low - 8% - i didnt take too much notice - i cant tell U why exactly - i more focused on getting speech therapy - OT therapy - anything therapy - and I guess I assumed that his IQ would improve ?? Year 1 he had a better year with intense reading help at school - speech therapy outside of school & a wonderful teacher - this year his teacher is lovely thank goodness but he is going down hill - yest we got the results from an outside clinical psyc - his IQ is at 4% - EXTREME low - apparently close to an intellectual disability - they also advise that he has ADHD - not the hyper one - his memory is shot - and i agree with that totally - poor kid cant remember things from 10mns ago how do U learn with that ? i have been advised to see a pediatrican to discuss meds for the ADHD and his dad &i are ok with this - -the low IQ has shattered us as we dont know what this really means for him - ive been advised to tackle the school ( yet again ) next term and ask them exactly what support they will provide - he cant go into year 3 like this he wont cope - larger classes - less one on one - more work load - ive been advised to check a special class that is held at a local school near us that has kids from year 3 to year 6 all grouped together wth a similar iq level - -his dad and i are not happy wth this suggestion for a number of reasons - maybe we are still in denial i dont know - does anyone have any advice for me? esp with the medications for ADHD? im sorry that this is so long - appreciate any help at all x
Posted 10 July 2012 - 08:54 AM
I don't really have any personal experience but I couldn't read and not reply.
Information about what help there is for your son is the key thing at the moment I would suggest. Speak to the peadiatrician about the ADHD for a start as that may help with concentration which may allow better recall/memory.
It won't hurt to have a look at the suggested class at the other local school, you don't have to choose that path but to have a broad understanding of all your options, it's worth seeing what it involves.
Obviously the current school you'll need to have further discussions with in relation to additional support (not sure if this is something the paed can help with as well in relation to funding?) and by the sounds of it staying at year two level for another year if you decide to stay with the current school.
Best wishes. I hope once you have some more information you will feel better able to make the right choices for your son.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 09:00 AM
thank U for taking the time to reply I appreciate that i should have mentioned that we have discussed repeating him from kindy - the school doesnt advise it - Mainly cause they think it wont help him socially and wont bring him up to level / task anyway - he is a tall boy too and would stand out - in saying that I dont think it would worry him - he has friends in other years - and he has a calm sensitive nature - he is extremely well behaved for us & school - never finds any trouble - hugs kids when they are hurt etc honestly all we care about as parents and we are both agreed on this - is that he is HAPPY - we dont care where he is regarding school and the IQ but as he falls more and more behind - and I can see it in the last term - he is starting to become more withdrawn and very very tired. and sh*te why wouldnt u when its so hard for u !

hi Op,
dismiss anything i have to say if you like as i dont have a child with SN. However i am a teacher who has worked in many schools including special needs facilities and deaf facilities. i think that exploring what the SN school has to offer is a good idea. if he is going down hill now in year 2. year 3 will be a nightmare for him and will affect him both emotionally and perhaps socially. Other children may start to notice and he could be a target for bullying.SN schools often have smaller classes and are specialised for the children's disabilities. I would set up a meeting with the principal of your current school and the classroom teacher to find out what the plan is for him at the school. explore all options so that he is properly accommodated.
on the medication from what i have seen it often makes children drowsy, lethargic and less responsive. will this affect his ability to concentrate further in classes?
all the best

Hi OP,
I am just heading out the door, but am posting so that I can find this thread later. I will come back, and either post, or PM you.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 09:08 AM
we dont REALLY want to medicate as what we are scared about is that it will change his beautiful personality but we are very keen for him to be able to concentrate - cause he cant and its a real thing - its exhausting and frustrating too but we know he isnt doing it on purpose.
my concern with the special needs class is that its in a public school and I am very worried that he will be teased cause he is in the special class and also leaving his friends that he has now - i agree 110% that he can not go into year 3 as he is now and I wouldnt do that to him - he has a 5 year old sister who starts school next year so we need to take her into account as well and as far as we can tell she is the opposite to her big brother .
Posted 10 July 2012 - 10:09 AM
hi bearboy,
it must be so hard to see your little one struggling. Im wondering where abouts you are- NSW? I definately recommend going to look at the support class. I think you at least need to know about all of your options so that you can make an informed decision- whether you end up choosing it or not.
if you are in NSW there have been recent changes to funding and support staffing in schools which may impact on how the school can support your child.
From what your saying your DS is borderline to having a mild intellectual disability. There is a high correlation between IQ and academic achievement, so while you should never give up and say x has a low IQ therefore we have low expectations, we also need to have realistic expectations of the child so they continue to experience success and continue to try their best.
One way to look at it is that a person with an intellectual disability needs extra repetitions of concepts in order to learn them. eg average student may need to hear something 20 times to have consolidated that knowledge. a student with an intellectual disability may need to hear it 100 times. therefore in the same time that a person with average IQ learns 5 concepts a person with an intellectual disability may learn one thing. therefore the gap between students continues to grow. (that example was for illustrative purposes only- individual students need different amounts of repetition and other factors also play a role, including motivation).
i think you have absolutely done the right thing by focusing on things such as speech. IQ generally doesnt change so while you might be able to implement strategies to support his learning there isnt heaps you can do to improve scores on an IQ test.
i agree that repetition most likely would not have been of benefit to your child. research shows that in the majority of cases it is not helpful.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 01:55 PM
Hi bearboy01,
This might be a bit disjointed, so apologies if I am all over the place. (Also, the usual preamble that this is all the opinion of some random on the internet, and not actual medical advice, so, as always, take everything with a grain of salt, and seek actual real life advice, because I could just be some pimply 14 yr old in my parent's basement etc).
Firstly, give yourself some time to process all of this. This is a huge amount of information to take in. Things like "low IQ", "special needs", "intellectual impairment" are incredibly hard things to hear as a parent. Give yourself permission to grieve. Be upset. And please don't feel you need to rush into action mode. Often when parents get this kind of information, the first thing you want to do is "fix it" - get him in the best school, book in with every doctor in town, put in place all sorts of programs and strategies. It can wait. He is the same boy today as he was yesterday. Yes, things will need to happen, but they don't need to happen TODAY. Give yourself time.
But also remember this. There are worse things than having a child diagnosed with a learning disability. That is having a child who isn't diagnosed (but still has the problem). As hard as it is to hear, the fact that the school has picked up on all of this is absolutely fantastic. Because it means that your son, and your family, can get the support and assistance you need.
Definitely follow up with a paediatrician. If you can, get a referral from your GP for a developmental paed. (If you post in the special needs section and give your location, I am sure some of the lovely EB ladies might be able to PM you some recommendations). You mentioned that your son has been assessed by an outside clinical psychologist? Who diagnosed him with ADHD, and said he had a "low IQ".
You mentioned memory problems? Depending on the background of the psychologist, and what tests they did, you might want to consider getting some follow-up testing done specifically looking at memory function. Sometimes more specific memory deficits can be misdiagnosed and just lumped into ADHD(inattentive type). Additional testing might help to clarify what his memory issues are. The testing I am thinking of would be done by a paediatric neuropsychologist. They are few and far between, and can be horrendously expensive. I would discuss this with the developmental paed, to see if they think it is worth following up. It sounds like there is a complex mix of things happening for your son (with OT, speech, psychs etc all involved) and they will all be looking at this from their own perspective. A good developmental paed should be able to act like a conductor at an ochrestra, and help bring this all together for you (because I am sure at the moment, it must just all feel like a whole lot of noise!).
If you haven't already, I would start a records folder for your son, with copies of all his reports and assessments. I would make copies of these, so that you can hand them out to any specialists you see while still having a copy for yourself.
On the topic of medication, this is such a personal choice, and I can completely sympathise with your reluctance to medicate. One thing I would say is this. You said
we dont REALLY want to medicate as what we are scared about is that it will change his beautiful personalitybut then you also said
I can see it in the last term - he is starting to become more withdrawn and very very tired.I guess what I am saying is that while you might be afraid that medicating your son will stop him from being who he is, it is also worth considering that medicating him might have the opposite effect, and actually allow his true self to shine through.
It's the same with the school thing. I'd look into the other school. As well as having a dedicated class for children with higher needs, you might also find that as a result, the staff as a whole have more training/understanding in teaching/interacting with these kids, and might be more familiar with specific strategies. Asking the question and having a look doesn't commit you to doing anything, so, when you are ready, I would look into it further.
Again, I will just come back to finishing this massive novel of a post (sorry) by saying that the most important thing you can do for your son RIGHT NOW, is to give him a great big hug, and to take a deep breath. Good luck, and my thoughts are with you and your family.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 03:09 PM
Fantastic advice from Alacritous Andy.
The other thing to remember is that when ADHD is involved IQ tests may be compromised by the inability to focus and concentrate, an inherent feature of ADHD but not necessarily linked to IQ. My DS was tested recently and did well below what I know to be his potential because he was not medicated on that day and we had travelled in to the city by train and spent a long time waiting in a boring, small waiting room before the testing. By the time he entered the testing room he was an impulsive mess. Our son's report actually came with a disclaimer that said that IQ testing can be compromised if a child is impulsive and restless, which my son definitely was.
Medication does not mean a change in your DS's personality, especially if you do it under the supervision of an excellent professional who is very responsive to your observations and adjusts the medication accordingly. I was lucky enough to have a paed who responded to my emails even on a public holiday! Many books I have read have said that if there is a personality difference it is indicative that the dose or medication is not quite right and needs further fine tuning. For us, it has been the single best intervention, although others such as behavioural therapy and school strategies are also important. We've also tried diet, fish oil, exercise, occupational therapy and social skills classes. Be aware though that if you do go down the medication route it can take several months to find the right "fit". It can be hard when you trial one med which doesn't go very well for your son but worth persisting because the other alternative meds can fit really well. It has amazed me how individual responses are.
If you choose not to medicate the current research indicates that improving your DS's diet, especially not eating processed Western style foods may be of some help.
Also IQ isn't everything. Someone can have a relatively low IQ but high emotional IQ e.g. be able to wait for things, save up and make sensible life decisions. I'm looking at it this way. I want my DS to learn enough educational skills to be able to be a qualified tradie at the minimum. Also there has to be some acceptance that the child may not be as you expected - we are professionals and our child may not be. As long as he is reaching his potential and is happy, that's all I care about.
Also I am not sure what you mean by 8% and 4% in terms of IQ? I would think that someone at that level would be barely conscious? What IQ ratings scale doe that refer to?
Posted 10 July 2012 - 03:35 PM
I just wanted to add. Imagine school from your sons perspective. I know special schools/ classes carry particular stigmas in society but really it's about your son. Will he feel and develop better with peers who are at a similar level to him in terms of learning or will he be forever at the ' bottom' of the class with a system he simply can't learn in?
Imagine his self esteem in an environment where he does have a chance to succeed ( at anything, something), he won't get lost in the system and the educators will be catering specifically to his needs. A special school can really help children with individual learning needs using a functional curriculum, and their life skills are exceedingly important.
Agree. IQ is not everything. I'm sorry your family is going through this. GL.

just need to clarify the above statement. the 8% and 4% would be percentiles. as in the person scored at the 8th percentile for their age or the 4th percentile for their age. if a person scores at the 8th percentile that means that they scored equal to or better than 8 percent of people their age. obviously it is possible to have scores lower than that and still be conscious!

Aha! For some reason I was stuck on it being a variation of IQ points i.e. 8% = 8 IQ points.

Just in case you still need them. I think you have been given some great information.
I do not have any SN children, BUT I did teach a beautiful girl who had ADD. No 'H', as she was not hyperactive. She was very well behaved, friendly, eager to please with and without medication. However I could tell when she had not taken her med becasue she simply could not focus. Her gaze would wander around the room and she was very distracted. Her personality did not change with the medication, it just pulled her in so to speak. She was definitely the better for it, and I guess what I am trying to say is that in some cases, medication is not evil. It just (from my understanding) just helped balance the brain chemistry.
Good luck to you and your family. I think you will find a lot of support here, wishing you the best.

Hi OP
Started reading & got down a bit, but just had to reply, to the question about him being in a SN class in a public school.
Im from Sweden & things are different but the SN school in my town (15 000 ppl), is at one of the public school how does year 1-9, they have there own playground, because some of the kids need special swings but its all integrated.
The high School I went to was massive over 2000 ppl but the SN school was placed up there, they had there own building but we all shared the cafeteria & PE hall.
Have a look at the Sn class, there is no worse feeling then, the feeling that you are dumb (wrong word but kids do pick up on things) (no harm or being mean intended )
I did struggle in school, more so when I had to learn English in year 3 (10 yr), I had problems as a baby with my ears. I couldn't hear the different between HOW & WHO, no madder how many times my dad told me. The feeling I had was I was an idiot & I had massive melt downs because I just didn't get it when everybody else did.
In the SN class he may get a chance to shine, which would do wonders for him.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 04:29 PM
u guys are so awesome x thank U so much x x x x x x x
wonderful support and advice - really so grateful xx
My son isnt hyper at all - he has the memory attn issues - very like SDDW spoke of - with the little girl - can not concentrate at all & it is getting worse and yes he is falling further behind and yes its awful to see
i saw my GP today - just to get a script for me but quickly mentioned the results - he wasnt that interested in the iq test and said many factors come into play with that - however when I did STRESS that he is suffering & behind etc etc he jst nodded for the record I adore our GP he is awesome - he agreed 110% with just getting advice from the ped - and recommended one with special educational experience - he said medications work extremely well & if we can get our boy focused then who knows - to us honestly Im floored that the result on the iq was so low cause he def isnt borderline mental disability - or is he ?? not that we can see that is for sure however what exactly does that mean anyway ?? its alot of information to take in & im unsure what to do for best
Posted 10 July 2012 - 04:33 PM
my son can read & write but on average they ( the school ) feel he is 1 year behind and his ability to learn is slower & they think a massive amount is due to the ADHD - never ever did i think my son wasnt " bright" for want of a better word it floored me to get the results that to me - and only me - he appeared DUMB ?/
Posted 10 July 2012 - 04:52 PM
For a start you really need some clarity on the IQ testing--were those subtest scores? If they were and the other scores were within norms, then there is less reason for concern than if they were overall rankings.
Do not be afraid of medication. If it changes thepersonality then it is the wrong medication and needs to be reviewed or the dosage tweaked.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 04:55 PM

it sounds as though he may be borderline intellectual disability as he has been tested twice and it sounds like his scores fell in the same range on both occassions.
you mentioned he has had speech therapy- does he have a receptive/ expressive language delay?
a person with an IQ in the borderline range will likely learn at a slower rate than other students. this means that gaps between same age peers can increase over time in regards to academic achievement.
IQ is only one aspect of a person, it doesnt measure temperment, artistic or sporting ability. he can still grow into a happy and productive member of society. just encourage him to always do/ be his best!
Posted 10 July 2012 - 05:13 PM
hello no his speech is really excellent it was more the literacy side of it - sounds etc that he needed so much help with & again the memory cause he would learn - then literally forget !! I guess for me " borderline mental disability ' sounds so extreme
and apparently even though he scored so low at his current school this doesnt qualify for an aid?? i dont get that at all
Posted 10 July 2012 - 05:43 PM
hi bearboy,
give yourself some time to come to terms with it. and ask drs any questions you may have. its quite confronting to recieve results like this, however, it doesnt change who ur little one is and you have already been writing about his many good qualities.
as for a teachers aide I live in NSW and it definately would not qualify for a teachers aide in NSW. once upon a time (like 20 years ago) students with mild intellectual disability did get funding but not any more (and ur DS has come out in the borderline, so isnt in the mild category anyway). funding for aides in NSW comes from sydney office, so its not that schools choose not to support students, its that guidelines need to be followed.
students with moderate intellectual disabilities do get funding, however there is a significant difference between the results your DS got and a student with a moderate intellectual disability.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 05:48 PM
just curious, did the speechie do an assessment called a celf-4?

OP, one thing to remember is that the only thing an IQ tests is a person's ability to do IQ tests! SO many things can influence a person's performance on an IQ test, and if your son has memory issues, and attention problems, then you need to take those results within that context.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 06:07 PM
Probably a stupid question, but would a child with ADD perform poorly on an IQ test if unmedicated? It would be hard to concentrate on doing the test wouldn't it? Could the results be false for that reason by any chance?

|LeBron James out for Cavs at Seattle because of ankle sprain
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 31 January 2008 16:45
James tested the injured ankle about 90 minutes before the game, taking a series of 3-pointers, but putting very little weight on the ankle and his feet barely leaving the floor as he hoisted jumpers. Once he completed his shooting, James walked quickly off the court, showing a slight limp, sat at his locker and removed the tape from his ankle.
James, the NBA's leading scorer at 30.1 points per game, was examined Thursday morning and was listed as a ``game-time decision'' to play. James missed five games in late November and early December after spraining his left index finger.
``You don't ever want to be without him, but it's my job to coach everyone in that locker room and if he can't go, I've got to get somebody else ready to go,'' Cavs coach Mike Brown said, before learning that James would not play. ``Our trainers are good, our doctors are good, they worked with him all day to see if he could get going tonight.''
Cleveland went 0-5 without James earlier this season.
James hurt his right ankle with 23 seconds left before halftime Wednesday night, but still played 44 minutes. He finished with 37 points and 14 rebounds, and his layup with less than a second left gave Cleveland an 84-83 victory, its 13th win in 16 games.
The Cavaliers are already without forward Anderson Varejao, who was hurt Sunday in a victory over the Lakers, and starting guard Sasha Pavlovic.
Varejao is expected to miss up to four weeks with a left ankle sprain, and Pavlovic is out six weeks with a left mid-foot sprain.
The Cavaliers (25-19) entered Thursday's game against the Sonics (10-35) having won five straight road games for the first time since March 17-April 1, 1998. Thursday night is the last of a three-game West Coast road trip for the Cavs, who play four of the next seven at home before the All-Star Break.

The governor's blanket commutation has sparked outrage among victim's families, prosecutors and police. They say that they feel victimized that the governor would lie to their face about what he was going to do.
Gov. Ryan called Bob Peter's from Freeport on Wednesday night and promised him that he would not commute each death row inmate's sentence. The families say that the governor said that he would look at each case individually and not grant a blanket clemency. After Ryan's decision on Saturday, they say they now they feel used and can only describe what he did as despicable.
After Ryan's speech, Bob Jr. and Becky Peter's spoke out about hid decision. They say that they think, "It's a slap in the face." The Peter's father, Bob was killed in 1992 and William Keene was on death row for his death.
Illinois constitution makes it almost impossible to reverse these decisions, but several Illinois State's Attorney's say that they are currently looking into that. The Illinois General Assembly says that they are going to adopt legislation to make sure that a travesty of justice like this never happens again.

YES!! It is. So does this help Your book?
Succinylcholine is only detected if they are LOOKING for it. It does not show up on a preliminary tox screen. A lot of nursing homes and hospital deaths check for succinylcholine because it is the drug of choice for "Angel of Mercy" aka "Angel of Death" serial killers. They enjoy/love the feeling of trying to bring someone back to life.

NEW YORK and CHATSWORTH, Calif., Nov. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Canoga Perkins Corp., a leading supplier of managed Ethernet devices to communications service providers worldwide, today announced the introduction of the Cloudbuster™ Network Interface Device (NID), the industry's first 100 Gigabit Ethernet NID. This 100 GE NID is designed to handle explosive traffic growth in data centers, mobile backhaul, and other business and wholesale service applications. The Cloudbuster™ NID is expected to greatly facilitate the anticipated deployment of 100Gig services by the telecom industry. Canoga Perkins Corp. will unveil the Cloudbuster™ NID at Ethernet Expo 2012, November 6-8 at booth #306.
Industry feedback indicates that service providers worldwide are interested in 100GE technology, but need to see cost competitive solutions before wide scale adoption can occur. With the Cloudbuster™ NID, Canoga Perkins has responded to this need by providing an affordable 100GE on-ramp.
"Canoga Perkins pioneered the development of 10GE access devices for telecom networks in 2003 and is once again pushing the envelope with its new 100GE NID," said Stan Hubbard, a senior analyst at Heavy Reading and one of the industry's leading analyst experts on carrier Ethernet trends and technologies. "While multiple vendors have rolled out routers and switches that support 100GE interfaces, Canoga Perkins is first to market with a 100GE platform for the access market."
The Cloudbuster™ NID supports standard CXP and CFP 100 Gigabit optic modules on the User and Network ports and offers full 100 GBS Wireline Speeds with all EVC and OAM functions active. This 100GE NID will serve as a demarcation device at data centers, as an aggregator for cellular backhaul, and media streaming centers. It will also service cloud computing services giving more control and diagnostic tools than traditional wavelength services.
The Cloudbuster™ NID uses energy efficient, state-of-the-art components. It is rack mountable and dual redundant with hot swappable power supplies and fans. The device shares the same extensive feature sets as Canoga's 9145e 1Gig and 10Gig family of devices, including Canoga's unique Protected Link Performance Measuring (PLPM) that enables users to deploy separate NIDs on protected network links, eliminating 'single point of failure.'
Pre-production units of the Cloudbuster™ NID will be available in early December 2012 with commercial units available beginning in the first quarter of 2013.
About Canoga Perkins Corp.
Based in Chatsworth, CA, Canoga Perkins Corp. is a leading supplier of managed Ethernet devices to the telecommunications industry for use in cellular backhaul, central offices and data centers. For more information visit http://www.canoga.com. Visit us at Ethernet Expo, booth #306

Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Uruguayan Deputies Say Legalize All Drugs
by Phillip Smith
Even as Uruguay considers a groundbreaking proposal from President Jose Mujica to legalize state-regulated marijuana cultivation and sales, parliamentarians from most of the leading political factions in the country are calling on the government to go even further and legalize all drugs in a bid to blunt the power of and threat from illicit drug traffickers.
The comments came in interviews solicited by and published in the Uruguayan news weekly
and appeared in its November 22 issue.
The war on drugs has been "a resounding failure" because it has "fortified crime," said Independent Party Deputy Ivan Posada. Forty years of drug war has created a reality where there exist "true international enterprises dedicated to the traffic in drugs," which can only be effectively combated by "establishing the legalization of the traffic of all drugs," he said.
The legalization of marijuana sales and cultivation (use and possession are already legal in Uruguay) proposed by Mujica and his Broad Front (Frente Amplio) government is "doomed to failure" because it is only a half-measure and not a global strategy, Posada sniped.
The war on drugs approach "will fall sooner or later in this century," said Deputy Jose Bayardi of the Artigist Tendency (Vertiente Artiguista), a social democratic current within the Broad Front. "The only solution there is to defeat the drug trade is the legalization of all psychoactive drugs," he said.
"There will come a moment in which all the drugs that are today illegal -- heroin, cocaine, etc. -- will be administered in the same manner, with an informative pamphlet," said Bayardi, a former defense minister. "Then, the individual will take the responsibility for doing with them what he wishes. We are going down this path. Sooner rather than later, we will arrive, and then we will really be fighting the drug trade," he said.
The steps the government is taking to legalize and regulate marijuana sales and cultivation "are a beginning, a point of departure" on a path where "the state will regulate all drugs," said Broad Front Deputy Sebatian Sabini, who chairs the Commission on Addiction in the Uruguayan House of Representatives. "As a society, we aren't ready to discuss it, but in the long run we have to do it, also for public health reasons. We can carry the same analysis of the drug trade that leads us to legalize marijuana on to base, to cocaine," he said.
National Alliance Deputy Pablo Itturralde said what was needed first was a an educational campaign illuminating the dangers caused by drug abuse. "After that, if someone wants, he can consume what he will," he said.
Marijuana users aren't the problem, Itturalde said. "If there is a drug that is implicated in public safety, it is paste base," he said. "Marijuana users are peace and love people." [Ed: Paste base is also known as "pasta de cocaĂna," thought of similarly to crack cocaine, and is considered Uruguay's most worrisome drug problem.]
The leader of the House of Representatives, Deputy Jorge Orrico, also said that the way to fight the drug trade is to "legalize all drugs," although he caviled about paste base because of its negative effects. "Of all the other substances, I have no doubt because the business works in clandestinity. At the least, we can diminish the mafia," he said.
While the talk of legalization of all drugs cuts across the political spectrum in Uruguay, at this point it is only the legalization and regulation of marijuana commerce that is on the legislative agenda. But it sure looks like many Uruguayans are interested in looking further.

Throttle response is the ability of the engine to respond to your input from the gas pedal.
Replyrobsgirl4eva, May 15, 2009, 16:56Rookie
ok......if a throttle response is the ability of the engine to respond to your input from the gas pedal, what causes this? It is a symptom of some greater problem or problems right? What is a possible direction a mechanic may be guided? Or in otherwords, can you give me a long answer like you gave with the "no crank" question. That one was extremely helpful and it was not vague in understanding. It answered well enough for a judge to make a good decision on that basis.... =)

Welcome to the St. Ignatius Schools public website, serving the needs of students, parents, and staff of St. Ignatius School District #28, St. Ignatius Montana.
Help Make our Playground Project a Reality: Visit our Go Fund Me Page
Mission Possible Playground: Almost There!
by Robert Lewandowski
The Mission Possible Playground Funding efforts have raised $21,372.21 from local support. Play & Park Structures are offering 100% matching grants up to $25,000. The matching grant offer ends November 7, 2014. The grant allows the school to purchase the Spiral Challenge, a $50,000 piece of equipment for $25,000. The Playground Possible Funds are short $4,000 for the identified playground equipment. It will also cost approximately $4,000 for shipping and handling. At the October Board Meeting, the Board approved to temporarily fund the difference and purchase the equipment in order to obtain the matching grant. Until the remaining cost of the project is raised, the district reimbursed, the equipment will be stored.
We need to raise $13,128 dollars to make this action-packed play structure a reality.
The "Spiral Challenge" playground setIn addition to the purchase of the equipment, there are other costs associated with the Spiral Challenge implementation.
- Spiral Challenge Purchase Price: $50,000; Purchase Cost: $25,000 ($21,372.21 in the Playground Fund)
- Shipping & Handling: $4,000
- Hard Plastic Boarder: $2,500 (see photo below)
- Surface material & landscaping: $3,000
- Equipment Assembly: $0 (Brandon Gilleard and Steve McCollum will provide direction to a 5 member team). Assembly cost if hired: $10,000
- TOTAL COSTS: $34,500 - Remaining costs needed for total project completion: $13,128.00.At this time, over 40 additional donors are being contacted by mail and phone. If you would like to help, visit with one of the Committee Members: Lynn Lapka, Amy Vaughan, Deb Lewandowski, Tammy Demien, Frank Delgado or Bob Lewandowski.
The Committee believes that raising the difference in the cost of the equipment including the shipping and handling can be done is short order (next several months). The remaining cost will be raised before the equipment will be implemented.
The "Spiral Challenge" playground structure was implemented at Bridger's elementary school.
Continuing a long-standing legacy of educational excellence, St Ignatius Public Schools serves the community of St Ignatius Montana: a rural school district that strives for rigorous academic standards and achievement, and family-friendly community values.
The intent of our website is to provide parents, students, staff, and community members with a wide variety of up-to-date and useful information about our school district's programs, news, numbers, standards, and accomplishments.

The Student Council President, Raymond Matt along along with High School Class Presidents made the following proclamation: "Mission Schools are hereby, from this day forward, BULLY FREE!" The proclamation came after students cited the following:
Bully Free Pledge
Bullying is not allowed in my school.
I will not hit, kick, shove or punch anyone or anything.
I will not tease, call names, or put people down.
I will not exclude and leave others out.
I will not gossip or spread rumors.
If I see someone being bullied, I will speak up and seek help.
I will treat everyone with respect and kindness.
This school's safety, support and belonging depend on me.
|2014-2015 Class Presidents (left to right): Sophomore Beedo Matt, Junior Jordyn Eichert, Freshman Trinity Lewandowski, Senior Raymond Matt.
The announcement was made during an ALL SCHOOL ASSEMBLY lead by Superintendent Lewandowski. The proclamation requires everyone to do their part. Most importantly it calls on each student to stand up and stop bullying by reporting it to an adult or providing some type of support to the targeted victim.

Review: Stargate Universe - Justice
by Jane Boursaw, posted Dec 4th 2009 11:58PM
(S01E10) "You put ordinary people under enough stress, I think you'll find they're capable of anything. – Dr. Rush
While watching this episode of Stargate Universe, I kept thinking of the "Court Martial" episode of the original Star Trek series. Captain Kirk is tried for the wrongful death of a crewmate, but Spock discovers via a 3D chess game that the computer's system has been tampered with and presents the evidence at the trial. Yes, I'm that geeky.
Ok, so that's about all these episodes have in common, and there's only so much you can do with the "trial in space" story. It boils down to the characters, and in this instance, the battle lines were drawn even further in this compelling little murder mystery.
