I think this is a disgrace to how society is becoming. I myself have a 15 year old sister who got expelled for the amount of days she missed, she only missed those days because of the constant bullying the kids does to her, since she got in jr.high, it makes me sick to the stomach seeing my sister come home everyday, crying her eyes out because of the boys in her school who harrass her. I don't blame the parents completely, everyone is their own person, but when you have a child under your roof, under the age of 18, they aught to live by the rules! These kids around here, get off with everything! They put surveilance cameras in the schools to help them with the big vandellism problem they were dealing with, but they refused to lay any charges againts the kids "who are related to them"i.e cousin,neice,nephew,any blood or inlaw relation. It just showing them the wrong type of role how to behave in this society we do live in. Im always constantly reminding my sister to never fight violence with violence! I understand it must get very frusterating sometimes, with that and being a teenager, but always use your brain and common sense first. I also believe some children are more thick headed, meaning hard learning (from right and wrong) they all need to be taught in a different way, like most children have different learning abailtys, but yes! I do believe we need a good stern "Boot Camp" in Newfoundland, for the children who refuse to listen to their parents. It would be the best investment newfoundland would ever make. Also their needs to be options for parents out their whos children are victums of these violent acts. Sometimes calling the cops, doesnt help solve anything. Since their is no "Law" againts bullying. Said cst.greening ..whats the next step on standing up againts bullying, minors who committs serious crimes. And so forth. What, is next?

Here is a question that knowone has asked yet in all of this mess....Who is buying these 14 year old children the beer and booze in the first place? FYI: Parents who bring there children up right in the first place don't got control over their children they got something called respect...and the child do have to follow the parnets rules...if they go astray and persist and break the law by drinking under age then its the responsibility of the parents to call the police and have them picked up....parents do have the right to take control...problem is most are afraid to be a parent and inforce their parental rights to protect their children from themselves.

My heart goes out to the family of this girl. I read the story last week and was sick to my stomach over it as I know my daughter hung around in the area. When I questioned her about it I was relieved to hear that she was not involved but was actually one of the ones who helped the girl that night. Low and behold after dropping her off at a friends Friday night past I get a call around 9:00pm. All I heard was her crying and all I could understand was "I got jumped come get me" She was assaulted by six girls, pushed from behind and her head held in a puddle of water, kicked and also jumped on. When I got to her she was soaking wet from head to toe and looked like she had been put through a ringer. We spent most of the night at the Janeway but thankfully she was not as seriously injured as the other girl was. It is very scary to think what could have happened and the sad part is the kids are so afraid to tell on people for fear of being called a "Rat" and having even more people gang up on them. Something really needs to be done with the kids involved in these acts of pure violence before someone actually gets killed. The system is not addressing the issues at hand seriously enough and with all this election propaganda going on I think it's time our so leaders realize that our youth our future leaders are way out of control. This is the second incident in one week in the same area and really nothing being done about it. Without us as parents speaking out about it ....no one would would even know whats going on. So Sad.............Help Needed !!!!!

I have an 18 year old son that was withdrawn from school 3 years ago because of his attendance and I kept him at home because he was being bullied, now his bullying was death threats and when I called the police and told them what was going on they said that there was nothing that could be done until something was done. When I called the school they said that there was nothing that they could do either until something was done. I thought that there was some kind of policy in the schools for this but I guess I was wrong. The teachers are afarid of the kids and there is no one there to protect anyone against these hoodlums. Maybe there should be more policing at the Junior and High Schools. I also think that there should be more punishment for these bullies other than just being suspended from school. Once they are back in school from being suspeneded they are only going to be worse than before.

parents have no ability to control teenage children anymore...and the kids know it. If you try to physically prevent your teenager from going out then YOU can be charged with assault. If you go to find them at a house party or a place like "the Log" and try to take them away YOU can be charged with assault. Lock them in their room and YOU can be charged. When the teenager breaks the law there is no consequence in the court system. If your teenager is doing OK in school , staying out of trouble and is not on drugs...thank God every day.

If the child was raised properly from the start whereby parents taught them respect, gave them rules and limits and taught them what was acceptable and what was not it would become the norm by the teenage years and there would not be these issues to deal with. I have never had to drag my son away from anywhere, lock him up or prevent him from going out because he knew what was acceptable to me and that no meant no...from perhaps the age of two on...and now he is nineteen! All kids are not bad but I truly believe it is consistent parenting that makes the difference.

She shouldn't have been hanging out there in the first place. That's no excuse for the arse whooping, but hang around with dogs all the time and eventually you're going to get bitten. Come on, this young girl wasn't going down there for choir practice. Parents need to play a bigger role in their kids' lives as well, rather than just asking "where you going?" "OUT!". "When will you be back?" "LATER". Okay honey, see you soon.

Been watching the hoodlums in our neighborhood get away with their alcohol and drug fueled foolishness for quite a while now. And as time goes on, it's getting worse. Back in January: Four of my neighbors had their property vandalized. One lady with around $3,000 in damage to her new car. That night, the RNC took some of the clan into custody while conducting interviews and taking pictures of boot prints in dented body panels. The culprits were released to their parents. And the police officers said, "These are all individuals who are known to us, but we can not lay charges without sufficient evidence". No-one could identify individuals from within the group as the guy who damaged the car. June, school closed.... And then it started. A minim of two nights per week of under-age drinking and loud rowdy conduct in and around our neighborhood. One night , a neighbor called the RNC eight consecutive times about a party taking place; it was keeping their small children from being able to sleep - actually had their little kids scared. After about two hours the police shut it down. Not one ticket for under-age drinking was issued by the RNC as these clows paraded around with open beer in their hands. The home owner was not challenged by the RNC for having this event take place on their property. And as these heavily intoxicated punks walked away, one was heard shouting for all to hear, "Shut our party down will ya - You'll pay the price for this!" ....A couple of nights later, they were at it again. Smashing their empty beer bottles; urinating on peoples property; and once again keeping us from a night's sleep. July.... At 5pm in the afternoon, a domestic dispute between two "tweens" (Part of the same bunch). Calls to the RNC yielded no action - Obviously the police had things of greater importance to attend to. Over an hour into the frey, the female party involved - Slashed her forearm opened in full view of small children who were at play in the immediate area. Wasn't long before our street was lined off with Police vehicles and and ambulance. We all did some foolish things while growing up. But this is not the Newfoundland I grew-up in. As a teenager, we had respect for our neighbors. We listened to our parents, if not we paid a price. And if we were out and about (up to no good) and the police showed up, then we hi-tailed it out of the area. Seems today there is a greater number of kids that are off the rails. Laws are lax. Enforcement officers are not able to adequately deal with situations because their hands are tied. And most parents are either too busy to adequately control their sons and daughters; or are in denial as to just how bad their kid really is. Our legislators need to take a very hard look at what is happening. And put some laws and regulations into effect. Something that gives the police and our judiciary something to enforce. Make parents accountable for their child's actions. ....If "little Johnny" gets caught for under-age drinking, his parents should be arrested so they can appear before a judge the next morning as a family.

Bullying?? No ladies and gentlemen --- VIOLENCE. We need to call it as it is and the guilty need to be dealt with accordingly. Never mind a slap on the wrist and behave type stuff. There need to be more appropriate outcomes for those who had any part in the assault. As frightened as this young girl and her family are --- they need to stand up. Violence in any form is UNACCEPTABLE. Good on those who stood up that night and pulled her to safety. Good on those who made the calls, got her to the hospital and got the police involved. The missing piece is for the others that were there that night --- who saw what happened. They need to come forward --- to stand up not only for this young girl but for others who've been through this type of ordeal, or that will go through. To stand up for themselves.

This is becoming a more serious situation everyday. Snot nosed little punks who think its cool and fun to get high and/or drunk and take out there cranky little attitudes on someone they aren't too fond of. I am so sick and tired of watching these little dirtbags get off with it. They should be charged and stuck out in whitbourne for a week or dropped off into a special area at the drunk tank for teenage brats for a day or two. It only gets more serious with each incident. After a rough year of bullying (luckily with no assualts, just words and bull)in a local school, and a failed attempt at the first year of high school due to in attendance and skipping so as not to have to face the brats who picked on her, i myself removed my daughter from her school and transferred her to another school and area. She has since made new freinds and is excelling in her learning. But the principle and some teachers of this SO CALLED school were more interested in the fact that she was missing school and said if it continued that she would be asked to choose another school. When she approached the teachers to discuss a situation that had arisen on school grounds they called the other students into the office, (while she was there) which only made matters worse. So they decided they would razz her somemore outside of school. The school made it worse by doing it the way they did.UNBELEIVABLE. Any way these situations need to be dealt with more seriously or the assualts being made by the kids today will be the ones who are doing the stabbings and shootings later on. TAKE MORE SERIOUS ACTIONS LOCK THEM UP FOR A FEW WEEKS, in a place that they will REALLY get the point of their actions.

It is unfortunate that this young girl got injured by being beaten up by a bunch of misbehaving teenagers. There is an issue at hand which needs to be considered more than the crime itself. It sounds like this happened on a school night. 14 years old and out at night, when she should have been home studying or doing something worthwhile, instead out in an area where under aged drinking and partying occurs. Sounds like a recipe for disaster in the making.

Its not always the parents fault. I have a teenage daughter myself and she is way out of control and I tried everything. I grounded her, took her phone keep her away from people nothing works. You can't lay your hands on you children or you will go to jail. So how do you control your children??
- newfie
- October 11, 2011 - 08:55
you are absolutley correct, its not always the fault of the parent. I have a great teenage dauhgter she has tons of super qualities , but she did manage to get tangled up with the wrong crowd? which are "A" students with good backgrounds and nice familys. I thought these kids were out bowling when i'd drop them off or at a friends house for a sleep over , only to learn that they would sneak a drink at friends before leaving to go out or take it with them in gatorade bottles in there purses before a dance. Taking the phone , no computer, grounded for a month. This stuff DOES NOT WORK....they do it again anyway. But it doesn't make it our faults, it just means teenagers are teenagers . We all did it , we just need to make sure if they are going to do it they know the serious consequences of what can happen if they go overboards with their drinks, and how booze can make them careless which is a recipe for disaster. They need to know that because tey are young and inexperienced that 1 or 2 beer,drinks,or coolers can be just enough to get them buzzed enough to be outside of there normal abilities and senses.

I have a teenage son and he was out of control for years. I tried everything also, took his phone, grounded him, called the police myself. There was nothing I could do to stop him. I even called child protection services, to proctect him from himself. There is noting in the Act to protect a child from themselves. They took him and set him up in a bedsetting room with Men in thier 50's who are on social services and now he drinks with them and does drugs. He is so happy, he is 16 and has to follow no rules now!!

...nothing new here in that when we were younger kids "beat the streets" too and sometimes got their hands on some booze and the rare fight broke out. The swarming though was something i don't remember happening. Bottom line parents should be more aware of where, who and what!
- October 11, 2011 - 06:45
well, well, well....what a discussing event. The police have to find theses bullies and lay charges against the parents as well.

Scary! For a teenage girl to be in a dangerous spot like that...how many more were there alongside her. The streets are not a place for hanging out, nor the woods and if a child is constantly hanging out in these areas, they have too much spare time on their hands. Boredom for a teenager is dangerous. It is not an issue for the school or the police, it is an issue with the kids themselves and those that guide them.

Parmesan Chicken Recipe
The savory coating on this chicken has the satisfying flavor of Parmesan cheese. It's easy enough to be a family weekday meal yet impressive enough to serve to guests. When I make this chicken for dinner, we never have leftovers. -Schelby Thompson, Camden Wyoming, Delaware
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (7 ounces each)
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Place bread crumbs and cheese in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in butter mixture, then in bread crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
- Place in an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 6-8 servings.

SRD Talk:Ranger
From D&D Wiki
Skill Points[edit]
The Skills for the ranger are incorrect... It should be 4 instead of 6. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 7 March 2007 (MST). Please sign your posts!
- No, 6 points per level is correct, according to the 3.5 Player's Handbook.--Rakankou 19:35, 7 March 2007 (MST)
Animal Companion[edit]
A ranger does not start play with one. It gets it at lvl 4. --Aarnott 11:09, 23 May 2007 (MDT)
I notice that under the animal companion section is says the "Druid's" animal companion. I don't know if this is for linking or what. just thought I'd throw that out there. I'm not logged on but I'm Tug --184.108.40.206 14:54, 1 June 2008 (MDT)
Buggy Links[edit]
In the animal companion entry, second paragraph, "A ranger may select from the alternative lists of animal companions ". line below "hide in plain sight", the animal companion link is farkakt (i hope spelling is correct...). same for the epic ranger part about the epic animal companion. and last, the link for epic ranger's feats, fast healing is farkakt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 2 February 2008 (MST). Please sign your posts!
- Fixed all bugged links. Thanks. --Dmilewski 07:59, 2 February 2008 (MST)
what's the starting gold for a ranger? --Xdeletedx 15:09, 1 March 2008 (MST)
- Sorry, that information wasn't part of the SRD (even though it was given for the psionic classes). So it's not OGC, and therefore we're not allowed to post that information. —Sledged (talk) 15:11, 1 March 2008 (MST)
- thanks anyway... --Xdeletedx 15:13, 1 March 2008 (MST)
Nested Link[edit]
I noticed that the link "[[SRD:Druid#Alternate Animal Companions|alternative lists of animal companions]]" has a link to "Animal Type" nested in it so it links to "Animal Type" instead of "Druid#Alternate Animal Companions". Zyxw59 10:26, 7 November 2008 (MST)
- Got it, thanks. --Green Dragon 07:06, 8 November 2008 (MST)

BOLD Program - Course Descriptions
First Semester
This module is a study of group behavior and how group functioning affects organizational effectiveness. Emphasis is placed on decision-making and conflict resolution in groups. Students develop strategies for efficient and productive group management and determine which tasks are best handled by groups of individuals.
Report Writing
Students will explore techniques for improving the effectiveness of writing styles and forms common to the business world. Students in the course will have the opportunity to improve their ability to communicate through critical thinking, writing, revising and editing. Students will also prepare for the writing of the Applied Research Project.
Leadership and Social Concern I
Through an analysis or readings of selected individuals who have developed positions on social concerns, a model for social change will be developed. This course is seen as a concluding experience intended to integrate the various theories with a dimension that is uniquely Wheeling Jesuit University's: the Jesuit dimension of "Men and Women for Others."
Adult Development and Learning
Students use readings, classroom discussions and assignments to develop an understanding of adult growth, especially as it relates to personal and professional development. They will examine a variety of learning styles and content areas as they explore adult development and learning across the life span.
Second Semester
12 Credits
System Management
Students examine the organization using a system model. They analyze various formal and informal aspects of the organization including structure, purpose, leadership, rewards, relationships, helpful mechanisms and power and decision-making. This analysis can be applied to the student's work-related research project or to another organization of the student's choice.
Research Methods
Students will examine key concepts of research design, methods of data collection and data analysis. Students will cover how to write a clear research question, hypothesis formation, sampling techniques, questionnaires, interviews and design of tables and graphs among other topics. The module will help students produce a well designed and executed Applied Research Project.
Effective Interpersonal Communication
This module investigates the roles of communication and relationships creating a productive work environment. Effectiveness in personal and social relationships is covered through readings and exercises concerning non-verbal communication, constructive feedback, assertiveness and conflict resolution.
Applied research Project
The project examines an organizational problem in the student's occupational or vocational setting and proposes a solution or a combination of solutions. The student formulates the problem statement and develops and implements a research design. The project includes a review of literature and is completed over a 12-month period.
Culture and Culture Conflict
Students use literature and interviews to explore the values, beliefs, customs and perceptions of racial and ethnic groups, especially as these affect interactions in the workplace. The concepts of culture and social class are developed through simulations. The obligations and implications of equal opportunity laws are discussed.
Religion and Belief
The focus is an examination of a key question: What is the meaning of life? The module presupposes that religion is expressive of the human activity which seeks to answer this question satisfactorily. Within the module itself will be the consideration of alternative religious schema.
Third Semester
Principles of Management and Supervision
The major theme of this module is behavior within organizations and its impact upon and by the organization. Emphasis will be placed on understanding (a) motivational theory and how it may explain individual as well as group actions; (b) leadership style as it relates to organizational theory or design; (c) negotiations within the organization; (d) current management theories including their use within the organization; and (e) supervisory issues such as performance appraisal, legal concerns in employment practices and employee benefits.
Business Ethics
The purpose of this module is to enhance the students' ability to recognize actual and potential ethical problems in the workplace for the purpose of preventing or resolving them. Through readings, videos and discussions, students learn to apply ethical principles to cases involving such things as hiring, conflicts of interest, gifts and bribes, fairness and consumer, environmental and safety issues.
Leadership and Social Concern II
A continuation from the first semester.
Applied Research Project
A continuation from the second semester, the student's major research project is completed and orally presented to BOLD faculty and the learning group.

day trading Stock And Option Millionaire Psy... (go back »)
November 28 2012, 5:15 AM
If you are like most of us, we have all lost our honest share of income in the stock markets using strategies composed by so-known as gurus and professionals costing countless numbers of bucks.
Have you at any time wondered, how does these stock and options trading professionals develop these strategies, show its worthiness all more than the internet and in textbooks, optionstrading1982.com built money with them, but when you use these stock or alternative trading tactics, its magic fades away and you began dropping funds
Going deep into the core of the difficulty unveiled that there was practically nothing mistaken with these stock or option trading approaches! I say yet again, practically nothing mistaken with these methods!

This is just what it appears to be online. When you cut out the air clouds some have serious fold marks. The quality matches the price well. It will be a fun game.

Angels broadcaster Jose Mota, writing for Yahoo Sports, reports that the Washington Nationals have put the first offer on the table to free-agent first baseman Mark Teixeira -- seven years, $150 million.
There are increasing rumblings that Teixeira has a decided preference for signing with an East Coast team. But Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he doesn't believe that will be a handicap in the Angels' bid to re-sign him.
"I don't think it's as much (of an issue) now that he's spent time out in Southern California," Scioscia said. "I think he's very comfortable there, as comfortable as he is moving back East with all the connections he has back East.
"I think it would have been different if maybe if he never had had a chance to play out there for a couple months and gotten to experience it. I know Mark had a great experience with us and was very comfortable. My perception is that part isn't going to be as big as maybe it would have been if he had a chance to go out there and play for a couple months."

Below, check out a reworking of the song from the prolific remixer Lovelock, who slows the track down and smooths it out, turning it into something of an alternate universe lounge jam.

WASHINGTON - Holiday delays have slowly crept up on unsuspecting commuters. Usually latent in the weeks following the Thanksgiving getaway, they tend to reemerge by mid-December.
Most road work put on hold
The roads carry more long distance travelers, shoppers and delivery trucks this time of year. The increase in commercial and discretionary travel leads to delays that are often less predictable.
Sitting in an unexpected delay is just one of the many stresses of the holiday season, so local highway departments have done what they can to minimize disruptions to traffic. During this busy travel weekend, most lane closures for long-term road projects have been suspended.
Work crews for the I-95 Express Lanes Project will block some lanes during the overnight hours along the 29-mile-long corridor, but will strive to have all lanes reopen by 7 a.m. each morning.
HOV open
The I-95/395 Express Lanes will be open to traffic this weekend. The lanes are expected to operate southbound until early Saturday afternoon. They are expected to serve northbound drivers by late Saturday afternoon and Sunday. This is subject to change.
Metro track work light-to-none
Metrorail customers can breathe a sigh of relief this weekend - most track work has been put on hold and nearly all trains will operate at regular intervals. Customers between Greenbelt and College Park can expect to ride a shuttle bus instead of the train on Saturday and Sunday. Riders using shuttle bus service should allow about 15 minutes of travel time.
Crash involving an overturned shopping cart
Expect the roads leading into shopping-center parking lots to be congested this weekend. Sometimes the "spill-back" out of the big retail complexes can affect the major roads nearby.
A queue of traffic that back-builds onto another road causes what highway engineers call an "arterial" delay -- hazardous for through-travelers because it often appears suddenly and at high speeds. The delay can cause friction against through traffic and slow the adjacent highway's traffic flow.
This phenomenon has been observed over the past week in Parole on Route 50 east at exit 23, Route 100 east at Arundel Mills Boulevard and in Frederick on Interstate 270 near exit 31 toward the Francis Scott Key Mall.
In Virginia, expect heavy traffic on Route 7 through Tysons Corner. At its worst, the delay toward Tysons Galleria on Route 7 can begin on the Beltway. Drivers on Interstate 95 near Potomac Mills will likely see some evidence of delays near the Opitz Boulevard and Dale Boulevard exits.
Terrible Redskins = Not-so-terrible traffic
On Sunday, the Redskins take on the Cowboys at FedEx Field at 1:00 p.m. Despite the team's record, Redskins fans will likely begin heading to Landover early Sunday morning, if nothing else, to enjoy the mild tailgating weather. Expect delays on the Beltway before and especially after the game on Sunday afternoon.
Spray-delays possible
Scattered rain showers could affect drivers during the latter half of the weekend, especially Sunday afternoon.

Have you ever flirted with someone only to find out they were in a relationship long afterwards?
Recently, as in the last couple days, I started to talk to this girl, and I thought she was really cool and really attractive. We have the same lunch period and she would ask me to walk with her to her next class, which was near mine. Out of nowhere we started to talk a lot, so I figured I would give her a shot. I had asked my friend if she had a boyfriend and he said no, so I was gonna go for it. However, the day before I was actually gonna ask her if she wanted to chill some time, I decide to look at her Facebook. She's got a boyfriend. Hopes shattered, and I now feel like an idiot. Probably got my hopes up a bit too much. Anywayz, has something like this happened to any of you guys and gals? How did you handle it? I'm interested to hear!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes! One too many!I recall actually talking to this guy for a good couple of weeks, and I really felt we had a connection and everything. I do not pertain any social media accounts that I share. So already at a disadvantage, I keep talking to this guy and we end up hooking up, and I find out from word of mouth that there was rumors about him cheating on his girlfriend with me. I then was in complete shocked since he failed to tell me or even reject me. I will point out as well him telling me that he would kill for a girl like me etc etc so it was pretty convincing that he was single and intrested in a relationship with me. End of it all he tells people that it didn't happen and his girlfriend gets my number and just like blows everything up and I was labeled at thier school as a complete whore. :(
What Girls Said 3
Are you absolutely sure she has one? Not just in a fake Facebook relationship?As for me... Once upon a time I danced and made out with a guy, he asked for my number, we texted a bit over the next week and we talked about going out again. Theeeeen I found out on Facebook that he had a girlfriend. I called him out on it, we didn't talk again, then he texted me a few weeks later "I'm single now." Needless to say, I totally shot him down..
I guess I can't say I'm absolutely sure, but I'm fairly sure. I've heard from various sources that the two were together over the summer, so I suppose it makes sense. If they aren't together, then they would've hade to like, forget about their Facebook relationship status completely.Man, ain't nobody got time for shady dudes like that!

Chomsky: Why the Rest of the World No Longer Wants to be Like U.S.
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
During the latest episode of the Washington farce that has astonished a bemused world, a Chinese commentator wrote that if the United States cannot be a responsible member of the world system, perhaps the world should become "de-Americanized" — and separate itself from the rogue state that is the reigning military power but is losing credibility in other domains.
The Washington debacle's immediate source was the sharp shift to the right among the political class. In the past, the U.S. has sometimes been described sardonically — but not inaccurately — as a one-party state: the business party, with two factions called Democrats and Republicans.
That is no longer true. The U.S. is still a one-party state, the business party. But it only has one faction: moderate Republicans, now called New Democrats (as the U.S. Congressional coalition styles itself).
There is still a Republican organization, but it long ago abandoned any pretense of being a normal parliamentary party. Conservative commentator Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute describes today's Republicans as "a radical insurgency — ideologically extreme, scornful of facts and compromise, dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition": a serious danger to the society.
The party is in lock-step service to the very rich and the corporate sector. Since votes cannot be obtained on that platform, the party has been compelled to mobilize sectors of the society that are extremist by world standards. Crazy is the new norm among Tea Party members and a host of others beyond the mainstream.
The Republican establishment and its business sponsors had expected to use them as a battering ram in the neoliberal assault against the population — to privatize, to deregulate and to limit government, while retaining those parts that serve wealth and power, like the military.
The Republican establishment has had some success, but now finds that it can no longer control its base, much to its dismay. The impact on American society thus becomes even more severe. A case in point: the virulent reaction against the Affordable Care Act and the near-shutdown of the government.
The Chinese commentator's observation is not entirely novel. In 1999, political analyst Samuel P. Huntington warned that for much of the world, the U.S. is "becoming the rogue superpower," seen as "the single greatest external threat to their societies."
A few months into the Bush term, Robert Jervis, president of the American Political Science Association, warned that "In the eyes of much of the world, in fact, the prime rogue state today is the United States." Both Huntington and Jervis warned that such a course is unwise. The consequences for the U.S. could be harmful.
In the latest issue of Foreign Affairs, the leading establishment journal, David Kaye reviews one aspect of Washington's departure from the world: rejection of multilateral treaties "as if it were sport."
He explains that some treaties are rejected outright, as when the U.S. Senate "voted against the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2012 and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1999."
Others are dismissed by inaction, including "such subjects as labor, economic and cultural rights, endangered species, pollution, armed conflict, peacekeeping, nuclear weapons, the law of the sea, and discrimination against women."
Rejection of international obligations "has grown so entrenched," Kaye writes, "that foreign governments no longer expect Washington's ratification or its full participation in the institutions treaties create. The world is moving on; laws get made elsewhere, with limited (if any) American involvement."
While not new, the practice has indeed become more entrenched in recent years, along with quiet acceptance at home of the doctrine that the U.S. has every right to act as a rogue state.

Let's see LeBron James do this.
Ashlee Arnau (AR-no), a cheerleader at William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Miss., made an incredible front-flip half-court shot Thursday night at halftime of the school's men's basketball game that became an instant Internet sensation.
The ball was placed on the floor at midcourt. Arnau approached it with a running start, did a front-flip, grabbing the ball while she was upside down, and then launching it toward the basket while her legs swung forward.
The 21-year-old Arnau tells the AP she has been trying the shot during halftime of home basketball games all season, but this was the first time she made it.

Glamorous and gorgeous, this silver caviar service set comes complete with two mother-of-pearl spoons and a sustainably-harvested hackleback caviar. Hackleback is a wild fish that lives in the estuaries along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and its eggs are delicious—small, jet-black, light and nutty, with a slightly saline finish. They are particularly tasty spooned onto deviled eggs or smoked salmon–topped blini.
Here's what you get:
One petite silver caviar server
One 2 oz container of hackleback caviar from California Caviar
Two mother-of-pearl caviar spoons
Brand: California Caviar Company
The California Caviar Company believes in responsible luxury. The San Francisco-based producer and distributor of gourmet foods is changing how we consume this decadent delight, offering sustainably sourced domestic caviars (including white sturgeon, hackleback, paddlefish, whitefish, and a palate-friendly combination of roes), as well as sought-after Iranian and Russian Osetra and sevruga. The company has also teamed with preeminent French chef Jacques Pépin to create a versatile pressed caviar, payusnaya.

Using Twitter for the wrong reasons
I just read about the Twitter plans of DiGiorno Pizza in the US. It's a perfect example of getting over-excited about social media and putting the technology before the strategy.
Here's a brand with the tagline "it's not delivery, it's DiGiorno" and yet in order to create some Twitter Buzz they are planning to "deliver" pizza to influential Tweeters.
Is there a better example of fogetting brand values and the brand message for the sake of a quick bit of buzz?
They talk about building engagement, yet if they're really after online engagment they ought to be thinking about sustainable conversations and relationships. Not one-off Tweetups.
I'm all for trying out Social Media and giving things a go, but this is so clearly off-message that I can't believe it's been thought through. It's stinks of traditional PR/ad agency thinking applied online.

Depending on what their overall mission is, it could actually have been thought through more than you and I would like to believe. If they are after quick hits, a short-lived buzz and getting in front of a few influencers, then they've got the perfect strategy.Angela Connor Apr 10, 2009Reply
Matt, I'd be the first to agree with you on the unsustainability of such an approach to marketing, and communities are clearly a more solid and nuanced foundation from which to build ongoing engagement with customers with value flowing in both directions, but that doesn't mean there isn't still a place for campaigns.
Disposable though they are (and much as you, I or anyone might find them shortsighted or passé), campaigns still have a place in customer acquisition strategies as part of a range of touch points (as the Ad Age piece mentions) with current and potential new customers, especially in the field of mass market consumer purchases where churn is the norm (whether its pizzas or mobile phone contracts) and marketing / acquisition plans are built around that cyclical premise.
I think the mistake here is not in putting technology before strategy, but in not understanding that social media messaging platforms such as Twitter are better suited as brand monitoring, feedback, engagement and CRM mechanisms. They've fallen victim to the shallowest form of media hype – not technological determinism – in thinking that this is they best way to "reach influncers" and pursue "blogger relations".
With so many brands and charlatans piling onto to Twitter, it'll just get harder to stand out from the noise and not get lumped in (and screened out) with all the other spammy activity.
Having said that, free pizza-fulled tweetups might get some popularity points with high school and college students, scoring them some transient buzz and a foothold in the market.
But in very little time, even "influencers" in this demographic (if they want to retain their 'signal' status) will get more immune to the crass schmoozing tactics of unthinking brands – or demand more compensation. It's a dead end ultimately.
Just because Twitter is "hot" and "free" doesn't mean it is cheap and easy.
Oops, my mistake Charlie

College Park man fights to keep vegetable garden in front yard
Orlando says garden against city code
ORLANDO, Fla. -
An Orlando man is fighting city officials to keep his vegetable garden in his front yard.
You have to step over radishes, wax beans and kale to get to Jason Helvingston's front door in College Park.
However, his 25 x 25 foot micro-irrigated vegetable garden is against city code, and the city of Orlando has asked Helvingston to dig it up by Wednesday.
"I said, 'You'll take my house before you take my vegetable garden,'" he said. "There's nothing wrong here, there's nothing poisonous here. This is a sustainable plot of land."
City code requires ground covers to be planted in a way that gives off a finished appearance so neighborhood lawns are clean, and inviting — keeping property values up.
Helvingston has decided not to listen to the city. Instead, he's trying to petition the code to allow for veggie gardens in the front yard.
He's gathered more than 200 signatures, including one from his neighbor, Shelly Snow.
"(I'm) definitely not bothered by it. As a matter of fact, we love it," she said.

He's not to provide for himself, the government is suppose to do that.Noteworthy Comment +10
"You'll take my house before you take my vegetable garden," he said.
….and THEY will dude, they will.+6
This is why I despise laws that claim to "protect property values" or the "historical character" of neighborhoods. It's also why I hate private covenants with a passion. My neighborhood association managed to get this area designated as "historical" a couple years back and and the extra steps needed to do anything are headache inducing to say the least. I did a major revamp on my house and had to attend a meeting to ask permission from some board of ancient fossils who I'd never met before. It was an absolute PIA and stalled construction for 6 weeks since I had to wait for the once a month meeting. I also had to hire a guy to do a rendering so I could show them what I had in mind. It cost out the ass and added enormous stress for a renovation on a very modest home in a modest "working folk" area. And keep in mind that my neighbors were thrilled with the results. I can't imagine the stress if they hadn't like what I wanted to do. Now, I have a large oak tree that's looking pretty sickly and I need to do some cosmetic repairs but I'll be damned if I'll ask permission for anything again. Hopefully, the tree won't fall while I own the house.+1
Hey, maybe he can get Michelle Obama to help him defend his garden. Unfortunately she's got another 4 years to berate everyone about their eating habits. Give her a hoe and let her stand guard. That would make two hoes on his front lawn.+2
And homeowners think THEY own the property.+2
If this were a case of Orlando changing the law after Mr. Helvingston planted his garden, that would be one thing, but that's not what happened. No matter how much he, or I, or anyone else disagrees with the letter or intent of the law, it is what it is and he planted his garden in violation of it. Similar to speeding, which many of us do every day, if you break the law you have to be prepared to accept the consequences. If he really wanted to have a garden AND be in compliance, he could have planted in the back yard and/or worked with the city in advance.0
At what point does the letter and intent of bad laws be cast aside to the prevailing of common sense?+2
laws only apply to the little people.
a kennedy, reid or pelosi would have no problem having a garden in their front lawn if they lived their and wanted one.
kind of like geitner and paying taxes.
or holder selling guns to mexican drug gangs.
or like the seals being prosecuted for "leaks" but obama leaking info about the osama mission gets a a pass, even when seals die in helicopter crash after the "leaks".
or like companies and organizations friendly to obama getting waivers from obamacare.
or like obama letting ouor abasador die in banghazi and getting a pass.
laws will only apply to the working middle class from now on.
get used to it.+1
Debbie, it is not right just to role over and accept continued enroachment on private property rights. I applaud this guy for standing up to an a law that while maybe have been good intentions when passed, is way over the bounds of what our Founding Fathers had in mind for any level of gov't Fed, state or local.
It takes someone like him to make the news and show this nation what is happening and will continue to happen with another 4 yrs of obuma.0
Yeah Debbie, and Rosa Parks should've just sat down at the back the bus. (Yes, I'm aware of the full history of that event in that it was planned and staged. It still required a real person to knowingly break a real law and face the consequences.)
Just because something is the law doesn't make it moral or ethical0

Marco Tabini, of php|architect magazine fame among other things, has been openly disappointed at the death of PHP 4. Not because he likes PHP 4, but because of the "OMG you're discontinuing something that everyone's still using!" argument.
I like your magazine, Marco, but I have to disagree with you on this one. :-)
Earlier this week, the PHP team released PHP 4.4.8. Baring any major security holes between now and August 8th, it will be the last release of PHP 4. Ever.
We are also one month away from the GoPHP5 deadline, after which any new releases of almost every major PHP project will require at least PHP 5.2. If you or your web host is running an older version, you are going to run into problems.
The future is neigh. Is your server ready?
A ran across this article recently making the rounds. In it, the author discusses spending 2 years in Ruby on Rails land before finally giving up and coming home to PHP, wiser for the experience. It's a good article, but one thing in it really raised the hair on my neck.
PHP is, conceptually, a very traditional language. By that I mean that it is steeped in the C/C++/Java mindset of how a program is put together, rather than the LISP/Javascript/Ruby/Python mindset. That's not a bad thing, necessarily, but it does mean that a lot of the cool dynamic language capabilities in those languages isn't really available to PHP developers. I freely admit to being jealous of functions as first-class objects, for instance.
PHP 5, however does include lots of "magic" capabilities, some in the object model directly and some via SPL Interfaces, that, if used properly, can make up for a lot of that lack of dynamic capaibility. A favorite of mine is the ability to add methods to a class at runtime.
What? You didn't know PHP can do that? Well, that's because it can't. However, we can simulate it pretty closely if we're careful. Let's see how.
Are you tired of hearing me talk yet? If not, why not come work for Palantir.net? We're looking for a PHP/Drupal programmer and a web developer/themer. Benefits include a full time position at a small business in Chicago, working on sites for higher education, not-for-profits, and other non-evil clients, a company issue Nerf gun, and access to the company Wii. And getting to work with Larry! Who could ask for a better job?
What a week it's been! Eight days ago, we launched GoPHP5.org to try and break the stalemate that kept PHP 4 on past its sell-by date. At launch, we had a half-dozen projects and about 10 hosts that had signed up.
What a difference a week makes.
"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." --Margaret Mead
A while back, various people were lamenting the state of PHP 5 adoption, myself included. What to do about it? How to get hosts to let programmers leverage the added functionality that PHP 5 offers? How can we do that without cutting off 80% of our user base?
The solution a few people suggested was team work. If all PHP projects stopped supporting PHP 4 and made the jump to PHP 5 at the same time, none of them is penalized in the market for being "first" and web hosts will have a clear business case to upgrade their systems to PHP 5. We can then all start offering faster, cleaner, more powerful, more secure web software.
But how does one get all PHP projects together to agree on something like that? Actually, it's fairly simple. You ask them.
I am a regular reader of TheDailyWTF. Aside from being thoroughly entertaining, it's a great way to learn what not to do by example. Sometimes, though, they have a really insightful article, like The Great Pyramid of Agile. It's spot-on.
So February was an interesting month in my world, so interesting that it's now March and I didn't get around to posting a Project of the Month for February. Well, better late than never I suppose. To parallel GBGames' February Project of the Month, here's a big thank you cheer to my favorite Firefox extension and every web developer's best friend, Firebug.
I normally don't post random "hey this is cool" posts, but this one really is that cool. The second video isn't all that great, giving more of a business talk, but the first one is slick, cool, insightful, and elegant. (About 5 minutes each.) Web 2.0 explained using Web 2.0. Nice!

Theme House
Theme House applications will be available in the Housing & Residence Life Office and online on Thursday, January 9, 2014. You MUST submit a brief preliminary abstract of your proposed Theme House via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or in writing to the Housing & Residence Life Office by Friday, January 24th. This should be a short paragraph including the co-coordinators' names, the house's theme, brief description of the house's purpose, and possible Residential Fellow(s) that you are considering. The abstract's purpose is to allow us to provide you preliminary feedback on your proposal.
Full completed Theme House proposals for the 2014-15 academic year must be submitted via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or in writing to the Housing & Residence Life Office by Friday, February 14th, 2014. Completed proposals must include:
- Your proposed theme
- The reason you are seeking to create or renew a Theme House. If you are reapplying as a Theme House, our expectation is that you accomplished the goals that you set out from the previous year, completed all paperwork and have new programming ideas for the upcoming year.
- An explanation of how your theme will contribute to the Bates community. The goals and expectations for your theme house should be discussed and determined by students who wish to live in the house and should be clearly articulated in your proposal.
- The name of the Residential Fellow for the house. This person can be a faculty member, staff member, or administrator on campus who will agree to be your advisor. The Residential Fellow will need to meet with all students approved to be in the house before submitting their names to the Housing & Residence Life Office and confirm the serious intent of each student to live according to the theme. The Fellow is responsible for holding regular meetings with the house. Please include in your proposal information regarding the meeting schedule/agreement that has been arranged between your Residential Fellow and the Theme House. In addition, please provide a brief summary of the ways in which your house will actively collaborate with your Residential Fellow.
- The names of two students who will act as the Theme House Coordinators for the house. These students will serve as liaisons to the Housing & Residence Life Office and are responsible for filling all beds in the house for the year.
- Ideas for potential house programs relating to your theme. Theme Houses must plan and execute at least one program per month. A small programming budget will be available through their liaison to the residence life staff, the Theme House Residence Coordinator. After the program the Theme House Coordinators will need to submit an evaluation sheet to the Housing Coordinator.
- A list of potential student residents for your proposed Theme House. You may use the announce e-mail system to send out information on your proposed house and you should seek to recruit student residents from all class years. Everyone who shows an interest in your theme should have an opportunity to ask questions about your proposed theme house. You may wish to consider having applications, an interview process, and an open meeting to generate interest. Your list of potential residents will not guarantee that the house you are assigned will have the same number of spaces as students on your list if you are approved for a house. If you are assigned a house that is too small to house all interested applicants, coordinators must determine who will be housed and who will not. If you are assigned a house with more beds than requested, you must fill all of the beds. We will try to assign houses as close to the actual number as possible. You must have each upper class year represented in your house in some number.
The coordinators will be notified of the status of their proposal via e-mail by Friday, February 21st, 2014.
If your Theme House is approved you will be assigned a house and given a floor plan. You will be required to submit the names of all residents who will be living in the house and the specific rooms they will occupy. Each resident will need to sign an agreement to fulfill the requirements for the house and to agree to reside in their assigned room number for the semester at minimum.
Your group must fill every space in the house. If you are unable to find enough people to live in the house at any time after your theme is approved then your house may be revoked. After the final list of residents for your Theme House is submitted, any student listed as a member of that house will automatically be removed from all housing lottery processes. Please communicate this to all residents of the house. Deadline for submitting these contracts and housing assignments is Monday, March 3rd, 2014 at 9 am.
The Office of the Dean of Students reserves the right to revoke an approved Theme House upon consultation with the Residential Fellow and Theme House Residence Coordinator (THRC) for reasons including lack of interest in the theme, violations of the Code of Student Conduct, and failure to fulfill all meeting/programming requirements.
We look forward to reviewing your proposals. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or stop by the Housing & Residence Life Office in Lane Hall if you have any questions.
