questioning parents during times of tragedy

Sorry, I have to just go on a little bit of a rant here.
I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the tragedy that befell Aurora, Colorado at the movie theatre. Sad, sickening, revolting. Yet you know what I keep reading online? People questioning the judgement of the parents for taking little kids and babies to a late showing movie. Really?
I was incensed that people would look at this tragedy and begin pointing fingers at anyone but the shooter. What good does it do to question the parenting practices of those in the theater – the victims? It is akin to wondering why a rape victim was dressed scantily at a bar. It is disgusting.
There are people out there who abuse, neglect, and torture children. We're really taking THIS time of tragedy to pass judgement on something so benign? Really?? Like this couldn't have happened just as easily during the day?
How about the millions of other questions we should be asking? About gun control, security in public places, mental health evaluations, etc?
This just makes me very angry. I feel HEARTBROKEN for anyone who lost someone there, regardless of age. It's tragedies like this that makes me wish I hadn't brought kids into this messed up world to begin with!
Awhile back, I posted an article about a local, teenaged girl who was killed by her ex boyfriend. Her father is someone I've known for a long time. Basically, they had sex under a local bridge and that's when he killed her. His reasoning was because "she was doing drugs and I didn't like the changes in her". There have been comments in the local paper along the lines of "where were this girl's parents? She was doing drugs and having sex under bridges?" And let me tell you....she had wonderful, loving, parents who simply adored her. She was a bit wild, perhaps, but it's nothing that her parents did wrong.
Man, things like this just make me so damn angry!

What the.... Your posts are so difficult to debate, LoL!
Then don't debate them. I seldom know what you are talking about anyway ...LoL
LOL ... you're telling me what you've already discussed and I certainly wasn't commenting on anything you discussed.
It's another thing all together to assume that changing laws won't make a difference or that people will still kill. There is no contradiction.
Actually Jams, there is a contradiction in telling someone you can't defend laws based on predictions, but then ask me to predict a possible outcome of a situation under different circumstances.
LOL ... now you saying you can't assume a law won't make a difference, but in a previous post, and I quote, you say:Killings will never just stop and I never suggested otherwise, But gun laws should be examined and I do think there's room for change.
Seriously, and you think I am hard to follow? lol ... maybe this is why? I have no clue why you saying anything to me, I have no cue the correlation you are trying to make between my statements and your previous posts, which I wasn't even addressing.
Mental illness is a pretty complex issue and it's a tough defense too.
WHo cares if it's a tough defense ... lol ... who said anything about it being a defense?? LOL You won't solve a problem if you just fix a piece of the puzzle. So, if you, or anyone else, wants to compare crime stats of the U.S. and other counties .. yeah, you have to look at the whole picture ... LOL ... so, funny, no one even mentioned mental illness as a defense ... where do you come up with this stuff?

I have to wonder, if someone is to serious ill, they actually go on a shooting spree, what do you think will happen if guns are no longer available to them?
Wish I could find a more recent study online, but here it goes:
Mental illnesses including anxiety disorders and depression are common and under-treated in many developed and developing countries, with the highest rate found in the United States, according to a study of 14 countries.
Based on face-to-face diagnostic surveys in the homes of 60,463 adults, the study found that mental ailments affect more than 10 percent of people queried in more than half the countries surveyed.
Rates ranged from 26.4 percent of people in the United States to 8.2 percent of people in Italy.
Picture the countries battling the highest rates of depression, and you probably think of those that are developing or poor.
Think again.
The U.S. tops the list, with 9.6% of the population experiencing bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder or chronic minor depression over the course of a year. That's compared with a .8% rate documented in Nigeria. The findings are part of a 2004 study of 14 countries by researchers from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Harvard Medical School.
ScienceDaily (May 7, 2003) — BOSTON, MA -- The United States has a higher prevalence and lower treatment rate of serious mental illness than a number of other developed countries, according to a study published in a special edition on international health care in the May/June issue of the policy journal Health Affairs.
While last week's massacre in Colorado has stirred a national debate about gun control, local law enforcement officials say the horrific tragedy highlights the need for mental health awareness.
In some respects, the alleged mass murderer in Aurora, Colo. fits a profile of the typical mass killer that my colleague James Alan Fox and I developed some 30 years ago.
In all likelihood, the Colorado killer was depressed and socially isolated, having no place to turn when he got into trouble. In addition, he likely blamed everybody but himself for his personal problems and had access to and training in the use of semi-automatic firearms.
The schizophrenic diagnosis would explain a number of characteristics that depart from the profile of a typical mass killer.
How come we never seem to talk about the mental health crisis in this country when a massacre like the one here in Colorado occurs? We always talk about gun control, which I support, but we guarantee more of these incidents by ignoring the mental health crisis.
The media is supposed to inform but they always fail to inform people about mental illness. Their own self-induced ignorance on the matter keeps rearing its ugly head in the form of journalists showing surprise that the shooter in this massacre was "intelligent." As if everyone who is mentally disturbed or ill is a stark-raving madman who has the I.Q. of a two year old. If they bothered to check the statistics or talk with a psychiatrist they'd quickly learn that the mentally ill are often so intelligent as to be smarter than the general population. That's partly why psychopaths, like the shooter in Colorado, remain undetected for years.
But, instead, we'll talk about gun control and in a few weeks the media will get bored and the discussion will die down. Allowing people, yet again, to remain safely secure in their snow globe of ignorance and naivety. Meanwhile, the mental health crisis remains allowing the isolated and deranged to boil in their madness until it reaches another dangerous point. We ignore this sad reality at our peril. It's beyond time to have a national dialogue about mental health because it is one of the only ways that we can reduce this kind of violence. Gun control is part of the answer, but they'll still find a way to get a weapon if you don't treat the source of the dysfunction (mental illness).

>>Personally, I think killings would go down to levels that countries with more limited access to guns have. IOW, the number of killings in the US would go down by huge percentages.<<
Here in Australia, we have limited access to guns. Automatic and semi automatic weapons are strictly outlawed, as are pump action shotguns. The last massacre we had was 16 years ago. After that, our gun laws changed and we haven't had a massacre since. People haven't turned to bombs or other methods of mass destruction.
Yes, there are still guns around - and we hear of gang related shootings. But never a mass death toll of innocent bystanders.
Someone mentioned that the shooter in this story could still have done a lot of damage with a bat in that theatre. While I concede that the people standing near to him would have been at great risk, the relative slowness of a bat wielding madman would allow for a mass exodus out the fire escape doors.

Considering mental illness in the U.S. is also pretty high...
I am pretty sure that the rates of serious mental illness such as schizoprhenia are consistent universally
|Fri, 07-27-2012 - 4:45pm
Seriously, do you think killings would stop if people didn't have access to guns?
Personally, I think killings would go down to levels that countries with more limited access to guns have. IOW, the number of killings in the US would go down by huge percentages.
|Fri, 07-27-2012 - 8:57am
What the.... Your posts are so difficult to debate, LoL!
And actually, Past crimes are a reason why laws should change, Look at laws that are named after children and people b/c of events that ALREADY happened; It's another thing all together to assume that changing laws won't make a difference or that people will still kill. There is no contradiction.
I certainly do think other things should be looked at, Mental illness is a pretty complex issue and it's a tough defense too.
edited to clarify.
|Fri, 07-27-2012 - 8:31am
Killings will never just stop and I never suggested otherwise, But gun laws should be examined and I do think there's room for change.
I never said otherwise Jams. Once again, the correlation between what I said and your comments is very unclear to me. You can't really oppose what someone said, when that isn't what they said ... lol
Do you think that crime could have been prevented?
Ok, so, in one paragraph you are saying,"Don't defend laws with predictions of what criminals will do instead" in conclusion, you are asking me, "Do you think that crime could have been prevented?"
For starters, lol, there's nothing in what I said that defends any laws and two, telling people they cannot ponder on future events, but then asking them to ponder past events, with predictions of how to avoid such events in the future, makes little sense and is a contradiction. The mere fact you are suggesting stricter guns laws means you are predicting the outcome of that change.
As I stated, there are many factors to consider when examining stats. I don't believe people want to kill simply due to the fact they have access to guns .... is that what you are suggesting? Remove the guns and suddenly, all violence, anger, mental illness .... all this goes away?
Do you really think violent crime will end simply by taking guns out of peoples hands?

That's interesting, all the stats show is people prefer gun use, lol ... so, sure, what is to stop them from using, say explosives, if guns were not available or stop them from purchasing illegal weapons? Or a hatchet, axe, sword ... if someone wants 12 people dead in low lit theatre, seems there many options available to them.
Oh, we would also have to look at the penalties in other countries, as well as the rate of mental illness, among other things. Considering mental illness in the U.S. is also pretty high, how would that affect the outcomes of comparing these statistics.
And I don't see a real ah-ha moment here. Your stats, are showing 60/40? Not really that impressive, considering 40% still choose another method. What would be interesting is to see is how many of that 60% would still end up with a gun and how many would choose another deadly method.
|Thu, 07-26-2012 - 6:48pm
Not really surprising firearms would the #1 choice. Seriously, do you think killings would stop if people didn't have access to guns? Seems to me they would either choose another weapon or, oh yeah, obtain guns illegally.
Other countries also have stiffer penalties then U.S. I wonder what the correlation there would be?

English Learners' Participation in Mathematical Discussion: Shifting Positionings and Dynamic Identities
Erin Turner, Higinio Dominguez, Luz Maldonado, and Susan Empson
January 2013, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 199
This study investigated discursive positioning moves that facilitated Latino/a English learners' (ELs) opportunities to take on agentive problem-solving roles in group mathematical discussion. A focus on mechanisms that support students' agentive participation is consistent with the authors' view that recurrent experiences participating and being positioned in particular ways contribute to identity development. Findings suggest several ways that discursive positioning facilitated ELs' agentive participation.

SALT LAKE CITY (CBSLA.com/AP) -- Lakers center Pau Gasol has been ruled out against the Utah Jazz, further weakening an already depleted lineup for Los Angeles.
Gasol, who has been fighting an upper respiratory infection, didn't practice Thursday or join the Lakers on their flight to Utah. He began feeling the effects of the illness about a week ago and sat out a 102-83 loss to Golden State last Saturday, the only game he's missed all season. He had 13 points and 13 rebounds against Miami on Christmas Day.
Chris Kaman will make his fifth start of the season Friday night in place of Gasol, who averages 14.7 points and 9.4 rebounds. Kobe Bryant (knee), Steve Nash (back) and Steve Blake (elbow) remain sidelined for Lakers, who have lost three in a row.
This starting for the Lakers will be the 15th different one in 30 games.

In order to advance the goals of State Superintendent Tony Evers' Agenda 2017, as well as to address the Office of Special Education Programs' shift toward Results Driven Accountability, the Special Education team has chosen literacy for students with IEPs as an area in need of systemic improvement. As part of this process, the Special Education Team is surveying key stakeholder and partner organizations to gather information about what infrastructure currently exists to aid in this effort. Please follow the link below to provide information on the supports your organization provides related to increasing literacy achievement for students with IEPs. http://goo.gl/QjvLS8 (8/22/14)
IEP Model Forms I-7 Update: IEP teams are responsible for deciding whether students with disabilities will participate in general education assessments with or without testing accommodations, or in the alternate assessment with or without accommodations. DPI model forms may be used to document these decisions. Forms in the assessment suite are to be completed based on which assessments the student will take during the implementation of the IEP. The forms are named, "I-7-[assessment]." For example, the form that IEP teams will use related to the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) is I-7-SBA and contains language specific to SBA assessment policies. Please refer to http://sped.dpi.wi.gov/sped_forms06 to access the model forms. (3/6/14)

It has become common practice to cycle most beta-agonist weight loss supplements to ensure that your receptors are not desensitized to the effects of these drugs over time. This prevents you from building up a tolerance to these stimulants which can limit their effectiveness with continue use. Caffeine is one fat burner that is known to perform best when cycled and so most bodybuilders and other users have taken to cycling their ECA Stack dosages over a ten week period. Interestingly, you do not actually have to use an ECA Stack cycle since your body does not develop a tolerance to ephedrine but most people choose to do so anyways as part of their weight cutting regimen.
Beta agonists like ephedrine work by activating the beta receptors on the surface of cells throughout the body. Ephedrine is considered a sympathomimetic amine specifically because it can stimulate beta receptors just as epinephrine (adrenaline) does in times of high stress. These receptors can become desensitized if they are continuously activated. The receptors actually recede back into the cell walls so they can no longer be reached by stimulating chemicals like ephedrine. Once they are desensitized, they become harder to activate and are not able to produce the metabolism-boosting benefits that are necessary to lose weight.
But this desensitization is actually a very short-term response and within minutes the receptors regain their original sensitivity level. A 1997 study from the Journal of Biological Chemistry found that across several different stimulants, ephedrine is the least effective at causing these receptors to being desensitized. The beta2-adrenergic receptors can appear to be resensitized within 20 minutes of use after pulsing large doses of ephedrine. What exactly does this mean? Many athletes and bodybuilders suggest you take ephedrine for a few weeks and then go off it for a few weeks to let your receptors "reset". However, this study shows that several weeks of downtime really are not necessary; your receptors will reset within as little as 20 minutes after taking this alkaloid!
However, most people do not actually take pure ephedrine HCL by itself. This fat blasting compound is very frequently combined with caffeine in an EC Stack or with caffeine and aspirin in an ECA Stack. Together, these supplements are known to be twice as effective through their complementary actions on the central nervous system. And even though ephedrine does not need to be cycled, the benefits of caffeine do start to subside after a few weeks at the same dose level.
Caffeine is known to cause "non-competitive antagonism" which means that continuous use causes your receptors to become less sensitive to the presence of this compound in your blood stream. The only way to turn back these effects is by abstaining from caffeine for a short period of time to allow your receptors to revert to their normal sensitivity level.
So if you are taking an ECA Stack or EC Stack, you have two choices: 1) you can cycle all of the components in your stack or 2) you can opt to just cycle the caffeine and keep using ephedrine on its own during the rest period. Which of these you choose is a matter of personal preference as well as your own experiences. For the best results, it is advised to check with a doctor or qualified medical professional to determine if you are healthy enough to use these supplements and to design the right dosage schedule for you. But below is a standard diet plan that many people use to cycle their ephedrine:
ECA Stack Cycle Schedule
First Week: Take 8 mg ephedrine HCL with 100 mg caffeine and 325 mg Aspirin (optional) two to three times per day
Second & Third Weeks: Take 16 mg ephedrine HCL with 200 mg caffeine and 325 mg Aspirin (optional) two to three times per day
Fourth through Ninth Weeks: Take 25 mg ephedrine HCL with 200 mg caffeine and 325 mg Aspirin (optional) two to three times per day
Tenth through Thirteenth Weeks: Take no supplements at all OR take 24 mg of ephedrine HCL two to three times per day with no caffeine.
Why are these amounts recommended? You will notice that the dose of ephedrine increases intermittently over the first four weeks of use. This practice has been clinically proven to greatly reduce the presence of negative side effects when taking this powerful supplement with caffeine. As your body builds up a tolerance to the neurological effects of the ECA Stack, you can start to safely take a larger amount up to a maximum of 24 mg. While there are studies that show that the ECA Stack can be used safely with 30 mg of ephedrine HCL, most experts recommend 25 mg as a more reliable level. The ratio between ephedrine and caffeine is also one that has been subjected to a great amount of study and it was found that a 1:8 dosage proportion gives the best results. This is a fairly typical dosing schedule that you should feel confident using in your own weight loss endeavors.

Let's be honest. Whether you choose iPhone or some Android device, your average user can accomplish the same task with either device with ease.

iOS fails...
1. The only indication that you are using capital letters on the iOS keyboard is the up arrow button changes colors. (IN ANDROID, THE KEYS THEMSELVES CHANGE CASE, WHICH MAKES IT A LOT EASIER.)
2. Sharing media from one app to another is a long process because most of them do not share natively. For example, to add a picture to Photobucket from my gallery, I have go into Photobucket to do it. It's the same with just about every other app except for the VERY limited few that Apple built into the sharing system. (IN ANDROID, MOST OF THE APPS YOU INSTALL, GET INTEGRATED INTO THE SYSTEM FRAMEWORK. THIS ALLOWS SHARING OF MEDIA FROM ONE APP TO ANOTHER. THIS IS A MUCH, MUCH BETTER SETUP. FOR EXAMPLE, I SNAP A PIC WITH THE CAMERA AND I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH PHOTOBUCKET I CAN DO THAT FROM WITHIN THE CAMERA/GALLERY APP WITHOUT EVEN OPENING PHOTOBUCKET.)
3. The notification system is overly complicated and cluttered. I realize it can be customized, but not to the point where you can get rid of the 3 different sections. Also there is no 'CLEAR ALL' function - this leads to notifications sticking around even after you have already addressed them. iOS also lacks the notification icons that Android uses. To me it makes sense having notification icons appearing up top. (shrug)
4. No Contact List or Messaging List Contact Pictures. That might be a small nitpicky thing, but visually it's bland. I love having the ability to scroll through a list of faces.
5. No access to the file system except for the Camera Roll. This makes transferring music or pictures to your phone reliant on iTunes. (MUCH EASIER WITH ANDROID. YOU CAN DRAG AND DROP ANY TYPE OF MEDIA INTO THE FILE SYSTEM.)
6. No Widgets. Sometimes you don't want to open an app and scroll through looking for information, especially when you can have that same information on one of your homescreens. What would it hurt to have at least a weather widget? (ANOTHER EXAMPLE. ON ANDROID I HAVE A GOOGLE SEARCH BAR. I JUST TAP ON IT AND TYPE OR SPEAK MY SEARCH. WITH IOS, I HAVE TO OPEN A BROWSER, OPEN THE GOOGLE SEARCH APP OR ASK SIRI AND HOPE SHE CAN SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR ME. SO MANY MORE STEPS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE.)
7. You can't put icons on just any grid point on the screen. Icons will always pop up behind last icon on the grid.
8. No hardware 'back button'. Often going back to where you were in an app involves exiting out of the application altogether. Some apps have a '

9. Totse2k15 (Posts: 276; Member since: 11 Feb 2014)
I want this bad. No microSD slot is fine, I can do microSDHC/SDXC+Meenova mini microSD card reader, OK with me. 5.5" is not that big, get use to it. Smartphones getting bigger anyway.
I'd go for the 64GB one. Nice price for a beastly specs smartphone.
10. surethom (Posts: 321; Member since: 04 Mar 2009)
No I prefer 1 handed use & anything over 5" is uncomfortable for my thumb to stretch over the left side of screen & I have large hands.
The main problem is NO choice because no flagship high end phones are releases under 5" nowerdays.

13. hurrycanger (Posts: 1285; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
I just noticed that there were no option like "Heck yeah! I love big phones!"
19. KillgoreTroutTime (Posts: 394; Member since: 06 Jan 2014)
I had an LG G2 and it was too big for me. If you have to adjust the position of your phone every time you sit down, then it is too big. Just like a wallet, you should forget that it is even there. Getting one more inch of space really is nothing. Use your phone for quick things and a computer for everything else. I see no reason for phablets anymore. I used to, but now I realize that they are kind of pointless.
22. zachattack (Posts: 590; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)
i disagree, it's the reason that i need 2 hands for the G2 that i should just get an even bigger phone to enjoy a bigger screen and even bigger battery at that point

- 4Mar 20, '13 by blackvans1234Hardest thing ive ever done is sit overnight with a patient that is not acting up.
- 6Mar 20, '13 by deemaltYour timing is so interesting. We all got an email today saying that due to budget cuts, we need to call our manager at home, day or night in order to get approval for a sitter. Our aids and unit secretary hours have been decreased and falls have gone way up as it is.
It really is a shame that the large university health system that I work for does not see the forest for the trees (I guess the dollar signs get in the way).
- 4Mar 20, '13 by IHeartNursing321I loved this story, I am a sitter myself! Some days are easy, but some days are difficult. Patience and compassion are a must. I wouldn't have any other job right now...I have met some amazing people! <3
- 6Mar 21, '13 by SleeepyRNFirst and foremost, I'm sorry for what you and your family are going through.
Second, this post brought tears to my eyes as I remembered the hundreds of people I "sat" for as a sitter before I became a nurse. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying thank you to sitters. Boy do I have stories of my own from my sitter days. The one that comes to mind first was the lady I cared for on a neuro unit. I came in the morning at start of shift. Everyone thought the patient was still sleeping. I knew this was unusual for her. She didn't wake when I took her BP. I called out her name, over and over. She didn't wake, I began to call out for a nurse when one walked in. Rapid response followed by a CT of the brain. It turns out she had a hemorrhage. And everyone thought she was just sleeping. Many others saved her life, but I've always silently known that it was I, a lowly sitter, who caught it to begin with.
I had another patient as a sitter who began seizing while eating, sitting up at the edge of his bed. I cleared the food and lay him in in a safe position as to not aspirate.
I know I've prevented countless injuries and falls from confused patients trying to get out of bed. I know I've eased anxiety in countless patients.
Thank you for reminding me of all I've done. And thank you for being appreciative. Being a sitter is one TOUGH job.
- 13Mar 21, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideCP, as always, you write with a combination of poignancy and humor that's not often seen. I love to read your stories!
As a hospital CNA, I used to be a "sitter" too, mostly with patients on sui watch or CIWA protocol who needed 1:1. There were times when I almost screamed to be let out of the room because the patient was climbing the walls and driving us both crazy. But then, I'll never forget the patient I sat with during my co-worker's dinner break and wound up staying with for the rest of the 12-hour shift because we bonded in about two minutes. She was my age, a wife and mother who suffered from depression and had made a half-hearted attempt at suicide with a handful of tranquilizers when her husband threatened to have her committed.
We talked through the entire night. I don't recall what I might have said to help her, but at one point she sat bolt upright in bed and said, "That's it, I am NOT going to let other people have that kind of power over me, ever again." I ran into her in the mall about a year later---she recognized me right away, while it took me visualizing her in a patient gown to remember who she was---and she looked amazing! She had her two small children with her and was obviously enjoying life, and she thanked me again for that night we'd spent together battling her demons. It was easily the most gratifying moment of my early career.
Sitters do perform a valuable service, and I don't understand why hospitals are so stingy with them because they SAVE the facility money in the long term by preventing falls, exit-seeking behaviors and violent incidents, as well as the necessity of employing licensed staff to replace the lower-paid techs. Penny-wise and pound-foolish, I call it.
- 5Mar 21, '13 by VespertinasQuote from deemaltSaving money? They'll be paying in spades.We all got an email today saying that due to budget cuts, we need to call our manager at home, day or night in order to get approval for a sitter. Our aids and unit secretary hours have been decreased and falls have gone way up as it is.
- 4Mar 21, '13 by iluvivtI loved it when I had a sitter for my patients. I made sure they got breaks and kept them happy. I checked on them and the patient frequently and even brought my sitters drinks. This goes along with respecting every member of the healthcare team from the housekeepers on. Besides from being a decent human being you just never know when you may need that person.
I remember a ward secretary that was spreading catty rumors about me and my boyfriend. Well, one night look who gets admitted to my unit with an SBO and look who is in charge! I think she turned a pale green when I walked in the room and almost passed out when I immediately secured some IV pain medication for her,got her settled and comfortable and she was fully aware that I knew of her insane jealousy and untrue nasty rumors.That WS from that day on treated me like a queen because she learned her lesson the hard way and realized I was kind person that chose not to use my position to seek revenge.
Glad you dad is OK

One thing we have to be careful of is "official" statistics on R&D spending. I know in America, at least, a lot of what is qualified as "research and development" isn't anything like what one would imagine it to be.
For example, I was working in the "research and development" department of a major American firm. Was I doing anything innovative? Nope. I was simply one of a vast team of programmers working on an incremental release of the company's product. And yet, I would put odds that my wage was being counted towards the "research and development" spending of the country, despite the fact that my actual job had little to do with either.

Poison : Is this Uganda's new political weapon?
Last Saturday came the breaking news that outspoken Woman Member of Parliament Cerinah Nebanda had passed away.
Since the Butaleja District Woman MP was an outspoken critic of her own party, the NRM, and no accident was mentioned as the cause of her death, questions started being raised immediately. Whatever weaknesses Ugandan society might have, over the last 20 years, the number of suspicious deaths of high-profile political officials and military officers have sown the seeds of a "suspect-first-and-believe-later" attitude in the country.
From the first high-profile murder under the NRM period of the former Energy minister Andrew Kayiira, to the death of Major-General Fred Rwigyema, Lt. Gen. John Garang, former Attorney General Francis Ayume, Brig. Gad Wilson Toko, Major-General James Kazini, Brig. Noble Mayombo, the July 11, 2010 Kampala bomb blasts, Lt. Col. Jet Mwebaze, Amon Bazira, the Kanungu massacre of March 2000, Prof. Dan Mudoola, Brenda Karamuze, Robinah Kiyingi, one only has to listen in to what people discuss at health clubs, in bars, pork joints and in offices to realise that Uganda is now driven by the presumption of foul play and suspicious murder. Sure enough, the death of Nebanda joined the list of these deaths that the Ugandan public simply refuses to believe are what the official account said they were.
Excessive drinking?
When Mayombo died, the first claims were that he had died of excessive drinking. When Nebanda died, the Inspector-General of Police, Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura, alluded to her possibly having been using illegal narcotic drugs.
Adam Kalungi, said to have been her boyfriend, was the first suspect and the story line at first held well. However, as soon as word went out that a pathologist, Dr Sylvestre Onzivua, who had been contracted by Parliament and Nebanda's family to carry out an investigation separately from the government – itself a sign of suspicion by the family and Parliament – was stopped at Entebbe International Airport from boarding a flight to South Africa, even the most gullible and politically indifferent Ugandans became alert, alarmed and suspicious.
All these conflicting statements and surely the illegal and unfair arrest of Dr Onzivua were taking place in full view of the public, the media, foreign diplomats and the professional civil service. A statement by the police on Tuesday gave the impression that Dr Onzivua had tried to suggle the samples to South Africa, and yet NRM MP and medical doctor Chris Baryomunsi said he had been given full clearance.
The government claims that Dr Onzivua broke the law and two days later another part of the same government asserts that the pathologist had been granted full, official permission by Parliament, the police and the Nebanda family to take the samples to South Africa.
Dr Onzivua is the same experienced pathologist that the Democratic Party recently contracted to find the remains of the DP leader, Benedicto Kiwanuka, who died mysteriously in 1972. In the meantime, the family of the late Rev. James Rwabwoni expressed astonishment upon hearing President Yoweri Museveni claim on Monday, December 16, at Nebanda's family home that the report on the death of Brig. Mayombo had been given to the Rwabwoni family.
Mr Charles Mwanguhya-Mpagi, host of the KFM Hot Seat show, said on air on Wednesday that he had spoken to all of the 11 of Brig. Mayombo siblings, who said they have never seen that report.
On Monday, President Museveni warned that anyone spreading rumours that the government had killed Nebanda would be arrested. (But then, that's the same warning he issued in May 2007 after the death of Brig. Mayombo, when a nationwide rumour spread that he had been poisoned by the government.)
Whom do you arrest when a rumour like this spreads down to, and are believed, even in remote villages? The more people you arrest over the rumour that Nebanda was poisoned by the government, the more the public will believe the rumour.
Bukenya drops bomb
The statement to the Monitor Publication Managing Director Conrad Nkutu in May 2006 by the then Vice-President Gilbert Bukenya that Uganda today is being run by a "mafia" government has become one of the most frequently quoted of any in the last 20 years and every such incident like the suspicious death of Nebanda reinforces Mr Bukenya's claim even more in the eyes of the general public.
Police had to deploy heavily in Nebanda's rural Butaleja constituency on Wednesday, December 19, to protect the homes of NRM politicians and officials. When matters get to this, it is evident that a sitting government is in deep crisis.
If this young MP and member of the NRM party can meet her death this way and the political party she served treats her death this way, then the NRM MPs have a lot to think about.
If you are an MP, do you eat any more at hotels? If you decide to, do you eat a meal placed before you or do you rather eat from the safer and general buffet?
Do you use the utensils provided?
On May 20, 2007, Daily Monitor Investigations Editor Chris Obore wrote in a news story reporting that poison had been imported to poison Members of Parliament. There is already a widespread rumour in Kampala that the ailing Makindye West MP, the outspoken Hussein Kyanjo, was poisoned and earlier rumours that an ailment that afflicted Mukono MP Betty Nambooze, when she was flown to South Africa, was poison.
In December 2005, officials of the newly formed party, the FDC, claimed they had received reports that president Kizza Besigye, who at the time was in Luzira Upper Prison, was the target of a plot to kill him by a spray poison administered in his cell. Read More

- Eve was seriously stunning and she had a rack on her that took my breath away. She seemed to get the hint that I was going to have to try before I buy and give her work and I decided to savour this and not rush into it. We started off by facing each other and masturbating. I told her to get herself nice and wet, ready for me and I was not disappointed. Delicious.

Patrick Williams – Agent for Change as Mayor
There is an old saying in politics that if you are not taking shots from opponents (and political critics), then you must not be doing a good job. Put another way, if you are getting some hits then you must do be doing many things well. Such is the case with Patrick William who plans on being Shreveport's next mayor.
Williams is a new face to many politicos and citizens alike, despite his prior service as a Caddo Commissioner and now as state representative from the MLK area.
That, plus his determination to be a positive agent for change, has upset many established political power bases and constituencies. And to top it off, Williams has NOT promised jobs in his administration to curry political favor.
There's no doubt that Williams has upset the traditional "I will scratch your back if you scratch mine" mentality of Shreveport politics; its quite apparent that the old guard Shreveport business and (more…)

Property Tax Comps: "Caddo, We Have a Problem …"
Property tax winds are blowing yet again in Shreveport and Caddo, now from our Caddo Parish School Board. To put such taxation in context, this report contains new research comparing taxes in Caddo / Shreveport to other areas in Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas.
The administration and board are now at work deciding when to schedule their move, and what to put on the ballot when they do. A mix of renewals are coming due before we know it, and an early CPSB miscue could taint them all.
New Superintendent T. Lamar Goree is off to a positive, hopeful start, with perhaps several new school board members also coming aboard in November / December elections. Regardless, a "Give us the money!" tax renewal campaign would dash hope of reform.

Many New Challengers for Caddo Parish Board
With all the political hoopla in the past few weeks focused on other races, the upcoming election for all 12 members of the Caddo Parish School Board drew scant, if any attention. Not that these elected positions are not important – – quite the contrary. The large number of candidates who qualified for this 12 member board was a pleasant surprise to political observers.
The general public's dissatisfaction with quality of Caddo public education is clearly reflected by the challenges to incumbent school board members. Only 2 of the current members were unopposed; Lillian Priest and Curtis Hooks did not seek re-election. Thus 10 seats could change hands.
Three board members have more than one opponents, – – a fact reflective of serious discontent; all of these had been considered to be stalwarts on the Board.

The Facts About Ollie Tyler As Caddo Superintendent
Ollie Tyler's mayoral campaign hypes her "great success" as the Caddo school superintendent during her tenure (July 1, 2003-July 31, 2007). And in fact Tyler claims that her administrative experience in Caddo (and in Baton Rouge/New Orleans) make her the most qualified candidate to be Shreveport's next mayor. The facts indicate that Tyler did not hang the moon as the Caddo superintendent, and that her Caddo track record is quite the opposite.
Not surprising is the fact that Ms. Tyler's campaign manager Linda Biernacki financially benefitted, – in a big way, – from the Caddo Parish School Board during Tyler's term. Biernacki is the owner of Fire Tech Systems; her company was paid (more…)

Shreveport & Caddo … and the Matter of Facts and Truth
by Elliott Stonecipher
It is certainly no secret to any who have spent a lot of years learning how our city and parish tick: most of our "leaders," elected or (self ?) anointed, have historically resisted anything but cheerleading. We are more than a tad bit resistant to bad news … even if it's just the truth, and even if it begs over time to be acknowledged and remedied.
Such is, of course, precisely the way a place finds itself in a hole, busily digging away, for decades. It is, too, how the City Council could do to the community what it did last Tuesday in our Hwy. 3132 Extension debacle. According to the Mayor and those five council members, Tuesday's vote endangers nothing, and simply helps a "valued business" improve Shreveport. That houses will be built in the only remaining undeveloped land for the highway did not matter. Rah, rah, rah!! … pom-poms flying.
As those who can handle and attack the truth stow the pep rally gear, this morning's (Shreveport) Times has an article of interest in this context, for which I thank them, about our recent population loss.
Earlier Report of This Data
For the record, these are earlier-reported data. As the Census Bureau released the data, I reported on the (more…)

Gallup-Healthways Lists Shreveport Bossier 182 out of 189
By John Settle
It's never fun to read about one's home town in the national media in a negative way. If you are a reader of USA Today, the Tuesday (March 25) edition is a paper to toss; a column listed the top 10 cities for "overall well-being", and there was Shreveport-Bossier listed at 182.
The 2013 Gallup-Healthways ratings are based on more than 500,000 interviews in which people were asked about their emotional and physical health, job satisfaction, community safety, and access to food, shelter and health care. This is the sixth year of the survey, and for the second time the Provo Utah area was first; others in the top five included Boulder Colorado, Fort Collins Colorado, Honolulu Hawaii, and San Jose California. The five worst cities were Huntington/Ashland West Virginia/Ohio, Charleston West Virginia, Redding California, Spartanburg South Carolina, and Hickory North Carolina.

Sunshine & Local Public Record Act Compliance
Louisiana's Public Records Act sets forth simple guidelines that allow for transparency by governmental bodies. A written request (letter, fax, or email) to a public body requesting public records is to be complied within three business days. The public agency can make available the requested records for review, or as is more often the case, provide copies of the documents at a reasonable charge. Some public bodies readily comply with public records requests (PRRs) and some unfortunately do not, – as experienced from sending over one hundred (100) PRRs in the last two (2) years.
The City of Shreveport is always very slow in responding to PRRs. (One notable exception was a recent request regarding pension plans that was promptly answered by CAO Dale Sibley). Seemingly the standard operating procedure of Mayor Glover's office (and City Attorney Terri Scott) is to wait until one or two follow-up requests have been sent before document production.
Initially the City would provide the documents at no charge by email or fax; now it is often necessary to go to the City Attorney's office to pick up the requested documents and pay a copy fee. Additionally, the City adopted a policy of redacting substantial portions of invoices for legal services on the dog park litigation, claiming attorney client (more…)

WANTED: Open Government – Sunshine Forum
by Marion Marks
Seldom do the stars cross at precisely the time we need them in education and "real life." An educational – Governmental forum, Wednesday, March 19th just happens to be a "Predestined" coincidence.
Shreve Memorial Library is sponsoring at Cohab, in downtown Shreveport a discussion panel dealing with transparency in government, experiences dealing with public records, and the reality of open government in Louisiana. The program is scheduled from 7:00-8:30 followed by question-and-answer with the audience. Panelists scheduled to appear are Elliott Stoneciper (Evets Management Services, Inc.), Tom Arceneaux (attorney with Blanchard, Walker, O'Quin & Roberts), Alison Bath (The Shreveport Times), Danny Lawler (The Inquisitor) and Jeff Everson (City of Shreveport-City Council).
Current public records requests with the City Council, Mayor and Parish Commission will certainly be part of the topic of discussion. In light of the struggle to control the leadership of the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) and documents that have been sent to us, a PRR (Public Records Request) was submitted to determine what other improper or potentially illegal email will be forthcoming from the two bodies and the mayor.
I am NOT an attorney, but the attorneys who we have engaged to assist with this utilizing the Public Records Act of Louisiana (R.S. 44:1 et seq.), told us to respectfully request the following information. And our request was as specific and narrow as possible so as to not give a chance to come back with a "too broad" response from the city or parish attorneys.
The specific information requested is "Bulls eye"clear. We asked for: documents, emails, texts, faxes, appointment calendars & logs containing reference (more…)

All I Want for Christmas is a New School Board
Since it's the Christmas season, it's always good to have a wish or two ready in case Santa gives you a call. If you are a Caddo taxpayer, you can add this to your Christmas list: a brand new slate of Caddo School Board members to be elected next year." This is not just a Christmas fantasy – it is a possibility.
For the past twenty plus years the Caddo School Board has been an absolute failure in performing its mission: providing quality education to all of the residents of Caddo Parish. This twelve member board is the perfect example of democracy at its worst, – with the most critical votes being cast along racial lines. Board districts that ensure six white and six black have resulted in petty politics of the highest degree, with children and taxpayers the ultimate losers.
The Caddo School Board needs statesmen/stateswomen – political leaders who are respected and who are promoters of the public good, not themselves. Presently many board members act as (more…)

Caddo Parish School Board Editorial from City Council President
Forward-Now Note: This was offered to the Shreveport Times, and to this point has not appeared. We have added some notes for clarification as well as audits we uncovered that we feel bear on this letter. These were added without the knowledge or consent of Councilman Corbin. However, we feel these are relevant to understanding the position of education and the CPSB. [Note Audits below each relevant section i.e. Transportation here, where safety of children seems to be a significant problem Also THEFT of Property!]
The future direction of Caddo Public Schools is an important issue for our Parish, our City and future opportunities for both students and economic development. Without a good working relationship and common goals between the Caddo Commission, City of Shreveport and the Caddo Parish School Board we will not be able to take advantage of all potential opportunities to help our region grow and prosper.
Over the past 15 years, multiple Superintendents have presented their plans to the public and the School Board to address a declining student population, changing demographics and shifting populations. While some parts of these plans have been implemented, the idea of closing campuses, major consolidations and (more…)

Smartphones will be sending and receiving scented messages containing such delights as the smell of coffee and freshly baked bread by the end of next year, experts have predicted. New devices that let phone users swap "smell-o-grams" as easily as text messages will be among the ten emerging technologies of 2015, according to the innovation charity Nesta. Scientists from Harvard University successfully used an iPhone app to transmit the smell of champagne and macarons from Paris to New York earlier this year.

Mobile phone masts are to be built across Britain's countryside to reduce by two thirds the number of "not-spots" with patchy coverage, ministers announced yesterday. They claim that it will ensure that customers of the four main networks can make a voice call or send a text in 85 per cent of the country, up from 69 per cent now. Rents for existing masts and licence fees are likely to be reduced to fund the £5 billion investment programme and operators will be allowed to site masts on government buildings. Sajid Javid, the culture secretary, said that the agreement would "give the UK the worl
The company behind China's dominant internet search engine and some 500 million users of its mobile phone software has thrown itself into the country's vicious taxi wars by buying a stake in Uber, the $40 billion-valued taxi-hailing app. Baidu did not disclose how much cash it had invested into the California-based company, but Uber previously told investors that half of a recent $1.2 billion fundraising had been reserved for a single strategic investor. However, analysts questioned how strong a foothold it would give Baidu in the massive Chinese taxi market, and wheth
An author has launched a tirade against "mind-bogglingly stupid" readers who complained that his new novel contained too many hyphens. Graeme Reynolds took to his personal blog to condemn Kindle Direct, Amazon's self-publishing arm, after it removed his e-book, High Moor 2: Moonstruck, from sale last week. According to Mr Reynolds, on Friday night he received an email from Kindle Direct after a reader complained about the amount of hyphens in the book. When the publisher investigated, it found that 100 of its 90,000 words were hyphenated. It told the author that this "sig

Grizzly Rage (2008) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Grizzly Rage is the sixth title in the "Maneater Series" and unveils the biggest beast of them all. When four high school buddies take a road trip to celebrate their graduation, vacation turns deadly when they accidentally hit a bear cub and suffer the wrath of the avenging mother Grizzly. What unfolds is a long dark night of stark raging fear as they face off against the wilds of nature. One swipe of the great slashing paw and you are shredded to pieces. With no cell phones, no weapons, no light and only tension mounting, all the students have are their wits, a prayer and each other. Directed by horror master David DeCoteau (The Brotherhood) and including fierce shocks and slashing surprises, Grizzly Rage is a lean and uncompromising fear match between man and nature.
Synopsis:Eight young adults are sent to do community service at Grizzly Park. There, they are hunted by an escaped serial killer along with the animals of the forest. |

Once upon a time, Volume I of several books called Childrens and Household Tales was published. While the title might not send you racing to Amazon.com, it was a collection of childrens stories now known throughout the world as Grimms Fairy Tales.
December marks the 200th anniversary of the collaborative work of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, who published 86 stories in that first manuscript. Among them were familiar tales including Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Thumbling (Tom Thumb), Little Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty), Snow White and The Fox and The Geese.
For lovers of quaint villages and towns nestled amid pastoral landscapes, touring western Germanys Grimm-inspired Fairy Tail Road is an ideal tour for parents and grandparents seeking to relive their childhood and for children to explore the sights where the stories took place.
It stretches 373 miles, between Hannau (the brothers birthplace in Hesse, east of Frankfurt am Main) to Bremen (in northwest Germany, and the locale, of course, for The Town Musicians of Bremen).
To do the full itinerary without racing through it, allow four days. While you need to be wary of villages using contrived alliances to pose vaguely as backdrops for the tales, the half-timbered towns and rural settings more than make up for the sins of the pretenders.
Traveling the Fairy Tale Road is a driving tour that requires, at a minimum, a rental car, a good map, patience and a sense of humor. Many landmarks may be difficult to locate.
The Grimms stories can be viewed on multiple levels. First, they are folkloric narratives that have become familiar to us all thanks largely to Walt Disney and television.
Initially, Jacob and Wilhelm were harshly criticized because the stories were considered unsuitable for children. Boiling pots, being thrown into ovens and cutting off limbs were not the stuff of sugar-plum dreams. Some subject matter dealt with missing children, infanticide and abandonment and other assorted atrocities.
But after two centuries the stories by the brothers endure. While some may have been Grimm, they rank second only to the Bible in the number of translations. The Fairy Tale Road is well worth a visit. You might even say enchanting. All you need to do is follow the bread crumbs and live happily ever after.

Question from Merdakai
How to use console command 'lock'?
i am wanting to work up my lockpicking skill but hate having to travel for what seems like forever until i find another locked door or chest.
i have a chest targeted, my cursor is on the chest and its asking me to Search chest. I want to lock this chest but the lock command isnt working. i know i type in lock, but what do i put after that? using words 'adept' and what not do nothing, but when i type a number after lock it gives no error, but the chest remains unlocked.
could anyone please explain how to use the Lock command or what i am doing wrong.

If you are using console commands, you might aswel do it "fully" and just set the desired lockpicking level.
[You can skill it up as you'd "opened" 100000 containers and receive levels, or you can set it to 100 without changing level gain.]
Otherwise, when you have the console tab open, you have to use the cursor and select the desired object and the level you wish to lock the container with.

There is another cheat "player.incpcs (skill)" just type it in and substitute lockpicking for (skill) and that'll
also work.
