What is an intellectual disability?
This article is by Community Living Toronto.
Published in 2009.
Intellectual disability is a term used when a person has certain limitations in mental functioning and in skills such as communicating, taking care of him or herself, and social skills.
These cause a person to learn and develop more slowly than a typical person. Individuals with an intellectual disability may take longer to learn to speak, walk, and take care of their personal needs such as dressing or eating. A person with an intellectual disability will require some level of support for his or her entire life. Intellectual disabilities are sometimes called "developmental disabilities."
There are more than 200 known causes of intellectual disability. Some common examples of intellectual disability are:
- Down syndrome
- Autism
Until recently, you had very few options if you had a child with an intellectual disability. You could send the child to an institution or keep the child at home. In the past, it was common to send the child to an institution for life.
Today, in Ontario, children and adults with intellectual disabilities are included in our communities. They can attend local schools and day cares, get jobs and pay taxes. Many people live in their own home. They receive support from their families, friends and community-based agencies.
Community agencies support people with an intellectual disability at every stage of their life, including children, youth, adults and seniors. Community agencies provide essential services so people with intellectual disabilities can go to school, work and do activities.
To find a community agency near you, contact your local community information centre or go to Services Near Me for a list of services in your area.

Hi everyone, this is my first year growing garlic. I have 2 varieties going, Italian Purple, and Silver Rose. All of the silver roses are fine, but for some reason on 3 or 4 of the IP plants the bulb has become slightly exposed and turned a deep red color....so here's my question: Do I cover the exposed part back up with soil or just let it go? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not an expert..... but I would cover them. I had some exposed after a hard rain and I didn't know either. So I covered them and they done well. |
- Posted by still_kris z17 NoCA (My Page) on Wed, May 9, 12 at 21:45
Wrappers get bright red if the crop is watered too late in the season. We have had late rains the past few years and not only do the Italian Purple start to grow again, the wrappers are that brilliant red which I have come to dread (sure is pretty, though.) |

Quoted from chud So are you denying the possibility that regularly consuming a certain food (an avoid) over time may put you at risk of developing a certain disease? If so, it would seem that you are denying the possibility of avoids all together.
Quoted from 2degreespisces I'm not at all denying the relationship between regularly consuming a food and the risk of disease.If I didn't believe in the whole concept of BTD/GTD, I wouldn't be such a strict follower of the diet.However, except in the case of allergies and those rare instances when eating a food immediately kills you, the relationship between eating that food and developing a certain disease is not 1-on-1, meaning: not every type B consuming chicken will develop a stroke, not all A's eating red meat will develop colon cancer.That's not to say there's no correlation and that's not to say there's not a higher risk for B's and stroke or A's and colon cancer.But as I said earlier, I agree with san j that we should be careful in how we put this risk into words.
Quoted Text book EAT RIGHT 4 YOUR BLOOD TYPE THE INDIVIDUALIZED ... on page 149),chicken is to be avoided as its 'lectins may attack the bloodstream and may lead to strokes and immune disorders (auto-immune problems such as allergies and arthritis'
Quoted Text Dr DChicken, or Galus galus lectin, has a specificity for certain forms of the sugar galactose, with a preference for galactose in the liver. In the ABO diets it was as simple as that; galactose (or in reality the galactose-fucose epitope) is the B antigen so stay away from chicken. Once you add secretor information, the expression data changes; secretors have more blood type expression, non-secretors, less. Sick livers have more ABO expression than healthy ones. Adding the genotype data yields more expression data; certain factors, such as D2/D4 are pleiotropic (one gene influences multiple phenotypic traits) with ABO. Thus the evolution of BTD-GTD-SWAMi is in part the quest for the degree of predictable lectin sensitivity in a person. Finally, by the time you get to SWAMi you are not even really analyzing single foods very much. The idea of the 'dot avoid' was to help refine things further: careful reintroduction should be considered.

What have you learned from your project about the principles and practices of good teaching that you would like to share with your colleagues?
My Faculty Development Grant was awarded for a research study that I am using as a pilot for my dissertation data. Although we have not completed the stats yet, we are expecting to have results that may help the health and welfare of our student athletes.
In what way(s) did this project help your students gain new knowledge or skills?
I have been using portions of the literature review in my HPR 314 and HPR 308 classes when we discuss head injuries and racial health disparities. Additionally, I will be applying for grant money and will be conducting more research in this area, which allows for the possibility of student research assistants.
In what way(s) has your grant-funded project changed the way that you teach?
Although this has not changed the way that I teach yet, we are hoping to build on this study to better educate our athletes in the future. The studies we have planned are generational studies and will hopefully sustain my research for awhile! My primary focus is to add to the scientific literature (1 article in submission and 1 presentation accepted), but the following teaching and learning experiences are also available:
- I will share my research findings (content) with HPR 308/314 classes, and will also undoubtedly speak about the scientific method used in research studies;
- conducting research reaffirms my commitment to the research process (modeling professional behavior); and
- my research enhances my teaching (as evidenced by perusing the extant literature on the designated topic, which keeps me current in the field.)

"The Message": The Birth of Hip-Hop Culture
Suggested Grade Level: 5-8 / 9-12
This research guide serves as a resource for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Education Department course, "The Message": The Birth of Hip-Hop. For additional information on the course and for more teacher resources, see http://www.rockhall.com/education/inside-the-classroom/rockin/message/
In the early 1970s the Bronx borough of New York City was home to the beginning of hip-hop culture. This class examines how young people responded to the social and economic crisis of the Bronx by creating hip-hop. By the 1980s, rap recordings took the voices of inner-city life into the mainstream, spreading it around the United States. Since then, parts of hip-hop culture - including the MC, the DJ, the graffiti writer and the break dancer – have become some of the most important forms of expression for young people on the planet. In this class, students will learn about this history, along with the musical tracks and vocal raps of "old school" artists such as Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa, the Treacherous Three, the Funky Four Plus One and Run-D.M.C. – musicians who sent a message to American audiences about what life was like in inner-city communities. Explore the history of the sound that changed American popular music forever.

Seen within a broad context, the files offer a condensed documentation of the history of hip-hop through the 1990s.

Inside the Box
Packaging inside the box is simplest, efficient, and sufficient to protect the power supply during shipping. The power supply is entirely surrounded by dense foam and extra space in the box is taken up by the modular cables to hold everything in place very securely.
The top of the HM-1200 houses the I/O specification label and serial number.
ADATA has placed a sticker on the sides of the HM-1200 that displays the wattage, model, and SLI/80Plus certifications.
On the bottom of the HM-1200 we can see the large 140mm Yate Loon tri-color LED fan that feeds the power supply fresh air and keeps it cool.
Moving to the front, we can see the connections for the modular cabling. Notice the two sections separated by red and black. While it doesn't say on the power supply itself, this actually denotes 12V1 and 12V2.
Moving to the back of the power supply, we find the AC input and on/off switch. We also get a glimpse that in the inside of the HM-1200 is quite crowded.

- 12 small (1 1/2-inch) red boiling potatoes
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fennel bulb (sometimes called anise)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- Garnish: fennel fronds or fresh dill sprigs
Cover potatoes with salted water by 1 inch in a large saucepan, then simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool.
Stir together salmon, fennel bulb, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Halve cooled potatoes and season cut sides with salt and pepper. Arrange, cut sides up, on a platter (if potatoes wobble, cut a thin slice off rounded bottoms), then dot each with 1/2 teaspoon sour cream. Mound salmon on top.
Cooks' notes: ·Potatoes can be cooked 3 hours ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature. ·Salmon topping can be made 3 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Does anyone know if sunflowers are strong enough to not be hurt by moon flowers/morning glorys? I was thinking about planting them together and having them climb up the sunflowers. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
That's a cool idea. Let us know if it works, and with some pictures. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 6:28
One of my neighbors planted sunflowers in a circle and morningglories next to them. The morningglories ran up the sunflowers. They seemed to do fine, but leaned a bit late in the season. I believe she should have planted giant sunflowers, since they have a stronger stalk. |
- Posted by goldenecho z8 (Waco TX) (My Page) on Mon, Apr 15, 13 at 18:55
If they are as strong as the wild ones that grow in my backyard, I'd say yes. I would give the sunflowers a head start though, so that they don't get climbed when they are new. |

Just when you think the IAM market is about to settle down for a long winter's nap, you are proven wrong, as evidenced by yesterday's announcement that Quest has acquired BiTKOO. This acquisition adds BiTKOO's externalized authorization management product –Keystone – to Quest's stable of IAM technologies. With this latest market movement, there are three things to note.
First, this acquisition is a sign that externalizing authorization is becoming more mainstream. Yes, this isn't the first time an EAM vendor was acquired (see disastrous acquisition of Securent by Cisco), but this is the first time an EAM company was acquired by a company who really got identity. In order to have made an investment, Quest had to have seen that the EAM market grow and be more easily addressed. I think one of the ways the EAM market will grow and thus EAM be more commonly found in IAM architectures stems from the need to protect assets in SharePoint2010. This is a problem for all organization and not just the traditional EAM buyers – financial services and military and intelligence organizations. Quest has an opportunity to bring externalized authorization to the masses, especially if they target SharePoint and the surrounding problems of data and access governance.
Second, it will be interesting to see what Quest does with the core of BiTKOO's technology – its XACML-based authorization service. Beyond simply offering Keystone as an authorization service, Quest could do some interesting things by more closely tying the IAG capabilities acquired from Voelker. I've written about the value of stronger ties between IAG and EAM tools and I expect the market will see continued progress in 2012.
Third, Quest is assembling a formidable brain trust. Doron Grinstein, BiTKOO's co-founder and CEO, is a sharp guy, whose ability to explain EAM via Visio is unrivaled. He and his team join Nick, Eckhard, Jackson, and Jonathan. Quest better stock up on dry erase markers and buy more whiteboards – the brainstorming sessions this crew will undoubtedly have in 2012 will be epic.
By the way, I've been doing a bit research related to externalized authorization management. You might want to check out my recent report, "Achieving Greater Control Over Authorization." Also be on the look out for two more reports available early next quarter; one report focuses on combatting policy sprawl and its implications for IAG and EAM tools, and the second report part of our Reference Architecture and focuses on how to select an authorization mechanisms.
Yes, the IAM market never sleeps, but I hope you get a bit of a rest this holiday season. See you in 2012!

Hi all,
I just got a S&W model 627 in matte SS in .357. (my first SS handgun) I put about 50 rounds through it and was trying to clean it and the powder stains seem to be really tenacious to the SS. I tried my normal nitro solvent which helped but there are still discolorations on the outside of the cylinder and around the barrel/frame areas.
Is there a special cleaner I need to use on matte SS? Is this discoloration "normal" on matte SS? It almost looks like the metal is permanently stained.
Any help is appreciated.

Irish God and Goddess of love Oengus is the Irish God of love, beauty and youth. According to the old folklore, his kisses became birds. It is also said that he dreamed of a beautiful maiden, named Caer, for whom he searched all over Ireland. Eventually, he found her chained to 150 other maidens, destined to become swans at the time of Samhain. Legend has it that Oengus transformed himself into a swan and was united with his love. |

Write out a list of the best outfielders of the past 30 years. How many names do you scribble down before you get to Carlos Beltran? In all likelihood, most of those players haven't produced more than Beltran has since the turn of the century. In the expansion era, very few outfielders have put up numbers like Beltran. Among center fielders, the list shrinks even more.
Carlos Beltran is one of the most talented baseball players in recent memory, a true five-tool all star putting the finishing touches on a brilliant career. At 36, Beltran might not be the power/speed wunderkind that from his days in New York and Kansas City, but he's still hitting.
He keeps hitting as his body changes and his role transitions to one suitable for his current skill set. I spoke with Carlos Beltran about reintegrating himself into the American League and the adjustments of 21st century baseball.

The DSNY Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling (BWPRR) used to hold periodic Compost Givebacks, where NYC residents could get free compost made from the leaves collected by the NYC Department of Sanitation. Compost Givebacks were generally held every spring and fall with NYC Compost Project staff and Master Composter volunteers on hand to answer compost-related questions and share advice.compost giveback sites & operationssubsidized compost binsdsny promotiongiveback statsother dsny compost distribution programs
Compost Giveback Sites & Operations BWPRR began distributing free compost to NYC residents in 1992 from the DSNY Fresh Kills leaf composting site in Staten Island. In 1993, BWPRR included Brooklyn Botanic Garden as another (by appointment only) Giveback site. In 1994, the Staten Island Giveback location was moved to Staten Island Botanical Garden, (now part of Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, ) and, in 1996, the Brooklyn Giveback site was moved to Prospect Park. Compost Giveback locations changed again in 1999, with Compost Project staff securing different donated locations for the events in each borough. Givebacks were held in parks, parking lots, or other open spaces secured by Compost Project staff from 1999-2001. These locations had to be able to accommodate several hundred cubic yards of compost and hundreds of people. Compost Project staff strived to locate events in different parts of each borough so that the program would reach a wide audience, and targeted as many different NYC neighborhoods as possible. The program grew in popularity and boasted a diversity of attendants. The program was highly popular and boasted a diversity of attendants. A New York Times article called one of the Givebacks held in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, "a gathering of the nations." Sanitation would deliver between 75 and 300 cubic yards of compost made from fall leaves to designated giveback sites (the amount depended on the site size and anticipated demand) a few days prior to the event. On the day of the event itself, the compost bin vendor would arrive with a truckload of compost bins. Compost Project staff and Master Composters would be on hand to set up demonstration bins and compost information tables. New Yorkers would drive to the compost distribution locations with their own containers and shovels. They were allowed to take up to 30 gallons of finished compost free of charge. From 1999-2001, 8,265 New Yorkers attended Compost Givebacks. These New Yorkers retrieved 1,261 cubic yards of compost and bought 2,922 subsidized compost bins! While this decentralized system was effective in reaching a wide swath of New Yorkers, it contained a range of logistical challenges that made it difficult to manage and effectively advertise. Read DSNY's Composting in New York City report for more information about the early days of the Compost Givebacks. In 2004, Givebacks were moved to DSNY BWPRR leaf composting sites in the Bronx, Staten Island, and, while operative, Brooklyn, so that the compost would not have to be delivered and then, (if there was remaining compost,) returned to the DSNY BWPRR leaf composting sites. Compost Projects would no longer have to scour around looking for host sites and New Yorkers were now able to take away unlimited amounts of free, top-quality compost as opposed to the 30 gallon limit at the other sites.Compost Project staff and Master Composters continued to help set up demonstration bins and compost information tables. And, New Yorkers continued to pick-up free compost in the same fashion. Every year the program grew as more and more people found out about the events. Compost Givebacks were held every spring and fall at these sites until 2009 and over 5,465 cars (around 11,000 attendees) came to the events to purchase subsidized compost bins and garner significant amounts of free compost. See more specific info on previous giveback events. Future Compost Givebacks will not be held out of these sites until funding for leaf composting collection is restored since there is no raw material from which to create compost.back to top | back to collections and givebacks
Subsidized Compost Bins In 1997, the NYC Compost Project in Brooklyn offered a limited number of subsidized backyard composting bins at the Prospect Park Compost Giveback event. BWPRR helped offset the cost and made these bins available to New York City residents for $20, as opposed to the standard $70–$80 retail price. Master Composters were available to discuss how to set up and use the bins. In 1998, this model of free compost coupled with a subsidized bin sale was piloted citywide in an effort to encourage as many NYC residents as possible to compost their food and yard waste at home. This became one of the central highlights of the Compost Givebacks, with NYC residents flocking not just to pick up free compost but also to buy subsidized compost bins. Top notch compost-bins are still available at cost through certain NYC Compost Project sites.back to top | back to collections and givebacks

50 Million US Adults Have Arthritis
50 million US adults have arthritis and 21 million are limited in activity; 1 in 3 obese adults have arthritis.
A new study from CDC reports that 50 million US adults had arthritis in 2007-2009, an increase from 2003-2005 (46 million). This new estimate is in line to match future projected prevalence estimates of 67 million by the year 2030 and suggest that the number of adults with arthritis is growing by almost 1 million per year. The study also reports over 21 million (42% of adults with arthritis) reported having activity limitations due to their arthritis. This estimate is higher than expected based on future projected estimates of 25 million by 2030.
Obesity may be a special problem in arthritis; 1 in 3 obese adults report having arthritis. Obesity is associated with incident knee osteoarthritis (OA), disease progression, disability, total joint replacement, and poor clinical outcomes after joint replacement and likely has a critical role in the increasing population burden and impact of arthritis. Even small amounts of weight loss (approximately 11 lbs) may cut the risk of getting knee osteoarthritis by 50% and may reduce mortality risk in patients with osteoarthritis. Information on losing and managing your weight is available here.
This study analyzed three years of data from the National Health Interview Survey, which interviews a sample of civilian, non-institutionalized U.S. population of all ages. The extra years of data allowed CDC to update previous estimates of arthritis prevalence and arthritis-attributable activity limitation and to analyze the prevalence of arthritis by body mass index categories.

You've made a huge difference, Pam. You have been a daily must-read for me for a couple of years now, and I often forward your posts to friends and family because you make your case in such an honest and elegant way.
I can't imagine what you're feeling in the wake of that awful vote in NC. I remember feeling heartbroken after Prop. 8 won in California, and I live in a state (Massachusetts) where my marriage is entitled to legal protection.
I wish I could offer you more than a "hang in there," but I can't. All I can say is that your voice is a prominent and important one in our struggle, and I thank you for that.

Rarely is migration among the Chinese from Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China, and Taiwan to the countries of the Pacific Rim as cut and dry as the labels "immigrant," "emigrant," and "returnee" suggest.

This article examines these contemporary migration patterns using Chinese migrants in New Zealand as a case study.

3 boys, all under age 16, get 20-year sentences for carjacking
Three teenage defendants have pled guilty to robbing a woman at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Kohl's department store at the Fayette Pavilion March 14.
The pleas accepted last week by Fayette County Superior Court Judge Fletcher Sams were entered by Kevin Jamal Matthews, Quentin L. Hardy and Quintez Deshon Smith. Although the defendants were all under age 16, they were indicted as adults and thus faced the much steeper penalties of Fayette County Superior Court instead of juvenile court.
Each defendant was sentenced to a total of 20 years in prison after admitting to charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and theft by receiving stolen property, according to Fayette County Assistant District Attorney Warren Sellers.
The incident happened March 14 around 5:15 p.m. when the defendants approached the victim as she left the store, Sellers said. One of the defendants put a gun to the front of the victim's head and ordered her to step back from her vehicle, and her purse was taken as she was shoved to the ground, he added.
Matthews, Hardy and Smith entered the victim's vehicle and left the scene, fleeing north on Ga. Highway 314 as they were pursued by Fayette County sheriff's deputies into College Park, Union City and later Atlanta before they were apprehended, Sellers said. The chase reached speeds of 130 mph, he noted.
Since you feel it is wrong to incarcerate these young thugs--that they deserve a chance at rehabilitation, why don't you agree to take them into your home and give them that opportunity? Make them part of your family, let them live with you and your spouse and children, grandchildren.etc. After all if they are given the right opportunities they will become fine law abiding citizens and make you proud, right? Let us know how that works out after a few months. That is if they haven't wiped out your family, stolen your money and vehicle and gone on a crime spree.
From what we know about adolescent brain development and the changes for rehabilitation of youth, jail is not the place these youth should grow up.
The crime that they did was horrific. It is only by the grace of God that it wasn't.
We know that long sentences do not deter crime. There are plenty of long term studies that show this. We know that jail is the worse place for a youthful offender. Again, studies show this time and again.
We know that rehabilitation can occur and that the long term prospects for youthful offenders are better when they are given a chance of rehabilitative services. We chose to punish rather than rehabilitate.
This is going backward in criminal justice reform and besides, it is a terrible waste of money. More importantly, it is a terrible waste of youthful lives.
My concern with any sentencing is the lack of rehabilitation found in the prison system of today. I have absolutely no sympathy for the carjackers. They will still be young men when they are released. Will they return to society as able to act as contributing citizens or hardened criminals after 20 years in our current system? If these young men fall under the guidance of the Black Muslims in the system, surveys show they are more likely to not return to prison. (What is the Christian religion doing to change the recidivism of Christians?). A hardened, poorly trained 30-40 year old male is a dangerous addition to society . Thank you Judge Sams for administering justice under the law.
if that gun was put to ...your...head. If those kids hadn't gotten caught, no doubt someone else would be dead by now.
Somewhere along the way, people like you have gotten lost. The best we can hope for is that our laws will protect the innocent. That woman was the innocent party.
The judge did the right thing. He also protected the rest of us from these little thugs killing one of us next. No doubt it sends a message to the others little thugs to go some place else.
What we are looking at is bad breeding and lots of it. With all the birth control out there, some are having kid after kid. You notice I said "having"...I didn't say raising. There are people so low, they have them for unearned tax credit. Yes, that is right, if you don't work, the Federal gov gives you about $2500.00 a kid at the end of the year, despite the fact you had ...NO.. income. If you have 5 or 6, it adds up at the end of the year and you have enough for a respectable pimpmobile complete with rims.
In my eyes, the death penalty is not such a bad thing. That is what those 16 year olds could have very easily given that poor woman if they had been in just a little bit worse mood.
We need to get the animals off the streets so the law abiding can go about their life. That is what the laws are for.
Give me a break . What drugs are you on? I am a senior citizen raised in the 50-60's. We did not do this type crime. When we did something wrong we got our butts torn up, and not just by our parents. The moral to this story is we had respect for our parents teachers and law officers and anyone older. Than we were. We did the crime, probably rolled. A yard with butt ribbon or egged someone's house, then we got punished by our parents and then apologized to the people we committed our crimes on. And life's funny, no one from my graduating high school class of 765 kids was involved in any gang related activity, carjackings, murder etc. So why do kids do it today? Lack of discipline from parents and touchy feely people like you. Your mother must have dressed you funny when you were growing up to make you think this way.
What I am saying is if you are going to do adult crimes the you should do adult time. Professor Feelgood put that in your pipe and smoke it and stay away from that left handed tabacco that has warped your thinking.
I am glad my parents and teachers taught me right from wrong and wore my ass out when I got out of line. Bring back the good old days
1. Good kids don't commit these types of violent crime.
2 Good parents and good citizens don't condone or make excuses for these kinds of violent crimes
3. If you don't want to accept punishment for your crime don't commit a crime.....it's really that simple
These "kids"??? are already lost. Once you can put a gun to an innocent persons head you are already a waste of clean air that can't be reformed. There is no cure for evil minds raised by evil parents , fed by violent rap songs and violent video games. There is no cure for any of that.
The only good criminal (no matter what age) is a dead one. Let's keep the clerk of court and the sheriff's office busy with processing CCP(carry conceal permits) .
It really is a nice fantasy that criminals could be rehabilitated sadly we have not seen any evidence of that....even in Disney movies.
The only thing I agree with is that it is a waste of money to have to feed these 3 in prison. It's a shame they left the crime scene alive.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Catch 'em and/or kill 'em. Well, that is one solution - but some are looking at the reality of after 20 years of prison, what has been done to change this behavior so that we don't have to deal with bigger/badder crooks?
are you saying that they didn't know what they were planning (and yes, they PLANNED it) was wrong? Of course they knew it was wrong. If you want to be involved in character and behavioral development of youth, perhaps you should enter at the front of the train rather than the caboose! There is a possibility that those stern sentences will serve as a deterrent to others comtemplating similar action--ever think about that? No,you wouldn't.
It's the World's smallest record player and it's playing "my Heart bleeds just for you"
Typical Liberal claptrap..
It's Societies fault......
Mommy didn't hug them enough.....
They didn't get the $300 shoes they wanted....
Whities keeping them down....
and on and on and on...
As Barretta used say... Can't do the time... Don't do the crime.
It is a choice. They made a bad one.
Now they get to see where choices leads them... Providing them a soft landing
spot teaches them NOTHING.
I can't count how many "disadvataged" youths I arrested and then had to re-arrest them after they committed another crime..
Most ended up commiting a major Felony or even killed someone after being in the "system" for years.
It is called PERSONAL RESPONCIBILITY... We all have it.. Many just don't excercise it.
I think you're confusing non-violent crimes like drug possession or even dealing the stuff or something like property crimes with actual very real violent crime, which is what happened here.
On the first part, I would 100% agree, but that's not your point. On the latter, no way in hell. These idiot thugs were armed and ready to kill. Those are the kind of people that in fact do need to be in jail and for a long time.
American society imprisons two types of people: a) those that we are mad at and b) those we are scared of because they threaten us. We need a whole lot less of (A) in the prison system. The (B) people can stay in jail, regardless of their age/maturity/culture/race/upbringing/whateverthehell.
These pieces of trash are in the (B) category if you have missed the point entirely.
Excellent clarification!
While in jail. That I am sure of.
Go talk to the victim about what kind of kids these cowardly thugs were.
Your compassion is misplaced.
What would you consider to be a reasonable sentence? 20 Years sounds good but in reality we both know that these "children" will only serve a fraction of that. What would be an reasonable sentence if the one had pulled the trigger and killed the victim? Oh and some studies do seem to think that longer sentences deter crime.
It's tragic that these three kids - yes, they are kids, being under 16 years of age -- become thugs at such a young age and now get to spend the best years of their life in prison paying the price for being so stupid. Would be interesting to know what kind of home life they had...not an excuse, but would be interesting to know. I hope this sends a message to the rest of the thugs to stay out of Fayetteville. Good job, Judge Sams.

Alright, after much poking and prodding by various lobbying firms and special interests groups and some thought given to it during a quick game of Electroplankton, I've decided to cast my hat into the ring and run for a foundation trustee position. Quick rundown of the things I do in Gentoo include: - Help manage the Gentoo/MIPS port as the MIPS Team Lead - Provide a visible Gentoo presence (along with others) in the linux-mips IRC channel (which has mostly debian people) - Chip in on random Gentoo/SPARC related discussions - Chip in on base-system, toolchain, and gcc-porting oddities at random. - Idle constantly in several Gentoo IRC channels - Developed 'crossdev', the forerunner to the portage cross-toolchain toolkit. - Trained four new MIPS devs, and currently in the process of mentoring a 5th one. My preferred goals for running for a foundation position are mainly for giving the alt-arch groups (primarily sparc and mips, but others too) a voice in things, as we often find ourselves overlooked or compared to inefficient x86-based systems. Some quick things about me: - Been a developer for 2 years - Residing in an insignificant region outside the DC Metro area, which I might add, is ranked #3 in worst traffic in the nation, and I drive in it. - Owner of many SGI systems (Octane, 2 O2's, Indy, Indigo2 R10K, Indigo2 R8K). So vote for me today, and I guarantee I'll make your teeth up to 25% whiter! --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond -- email@example.com mailing list

(so think about 85ish for 3 rooms and 95ish for 2 rooms).
I have to take classes to remain a FT student...so Ill be taking either creativity & innovations and corp analysis cuz i heard its alot of disney type trivia/bkground. also they have minimal work loads.

Re:Rebuild? (325 comments)
Yeah. I didn't explain quite correctly. GSE would refer to all equipment that remains on the ground but is still at-hand before and during the mission. This would encompass not only support electronics and interface mockups but also the brassboard units (as you call them).
Re:Rebuild? (325 comments)
It depends on the project, but space projects - even small payloads aboard larger craft - are invariably built in sets. Unfortunately, you usually can't just launch one of the "spares" because they're not actually spares. They are identical units that are tested near (or beyond) the point of failure to predict lifetime of the one flight unit. These are called qualification units, or "Qual Units." Occasionally, you'll also have one or two ground-based units (ground-support equipment, or GSEs) that mimic the project's function but aren't necessarily built with space in mind... for example, expensive weight-saving milling operations have been omitted or cheaper wiring (PVC) may have replaced expensive space-worthy wiring (Teflon).
Re:What's the contingency for these missions? (325 comments)
For space missions, once something is launched, all design is done. That's a very expensive component: the engineers' time to conceive and design. All that remains now for OCO is to determine the cause of failure, design a way to avoid it, and send the already-made drawings off to the shop again.
The marginal cost is materials + machine shop time + assembly time + testing (not insignificant) + launch costs.
Of course, it would have been cheaper to make the two flight units together initially... machining expenses plummet when increasing the quantity of parts in a batch. Truth be told, there are probably a few OCO's hanging out at NASA now, though they've been tested (think big vibration tests) near the point of failure.
Re:argument for a civil program (308 comments)
Nobody has ever found anything worth manufacturing in space.

Re:Because this is America (308 comments)
As lead mechanical engineer who designed, built, and tested a lunar mining machine within the last year, I can assure you: we're working on it.
Let me just indicate that if NASA (or some other government entity) had not funded the project, the private space sector would have taken decades to begin considering funding it.
The civil space industry provides funding and support for state-of-the-art space technologies, while the private space industry - with their ROI requirements - follows behind. There is nothing wrong with this protocol. If you'd like to see more private space industry, fund NASA so that companies can justify spending money on more mature technologies.

Re:in-situ resource utilization field test in Hawa (56 comments)
What are the givens to this problem?
-NASA wants extensive use capabilities.
-ITAR restrictions make it so that US entities would rather stay in the US rather than go through the paperwork of going elsewhere.
-Volcanic ash tends to be similar in abrasiveness, chemistry, and agglutinate size to lunar regolith.
-The presence of flora and fauna should be minimized.
Taking these into consideration, you get Hawaii and the Southwest. Since the volcanoes in the Southwest are dormant, their ash has had more time to erode into a less abrasive form. Result: test in Hawaii.

Totem Talk: And you will go forth with dual specs to conquer {WoW}
Feb 20th 2009 5:08AM While Blizz wants you to pick up mp5 gear for healing, it's completely possible to heal without any. I decided that mp5 was a waste of stats, so I weight my gear entirely for throughput, gem for SP, and share about half my gear between my ele set and my main resto set. I've healed every fight in the game (though not downed 3d due to lacking dps) with a grand total of 60 mp5. I have a normal haste/mp5 set, mostly to save stuff from getting sharded, but I don't CH so it's not really needed.
Totem Talk: And you will go forth with dual specs to conquer {WoW}
Feb 20th 2009 4:52AM If you have enough haste (I'm around 550 in my normal set), it's actually possible to get off an occasional LHW while in the vortex. I tend to spam the LHW button between riptides and I get one off on rare occasion. I should put on my full haste set and give it a shot.
Officers' Quarters: Dual spec, double loot? {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 4:58PM We EP/GP and have been very happy with it since it seems to avoid the regular raiders getting all the best gear all the time. Our most likely solution will be bid Main/Alt/Off. Main is full price/top priority, Alt is 50% off, Off is 90% off. We've been clearing Naxx 10 and 25 since late December and have 22 shards in the guild bank, so I think it's a pretty successful system.
Lichborne: On Dual Specs for Death Knights {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 4:32PM If you have any interest in hybrid tank/dps builds, the optimal build is 23/18/0 [1]. For dps talents it only misses Imp Icy Talons and Butchery, which is about 2% dps off an optimal frost dps build. For tanking it misses anticipation, so over time it takes 10% more damage. On the plus side, it is far and away the highest dps/tps tank build I've found for any class.
I run it on my alt with a Sword of Justice, Sigil of Frozen Conscience and a mix of heroic/crafted/naxx 10 gear and sustain 5k tps if I have BoS. Even without BoS I hold around 1900 dps tanking 5 man heroic bosses which is mid 4k tps. I'd guess I could hit 6k with better gear, but he doesn't get that much play time. I've tanked all the heroics and all of naxx 10 with the build. In OS25 pugs, I'm right around 3k dps in dps gear depending on buffs/debuffs.

"I also loved this invite. But I am curious if I can customize it and add any colors I want to it? I would love to add purple, teal and green to it. Then I would be for sure sold on this invite. I also did the shimmer paper on this one and loved it."
"I chose the shimmer paper and the purple, teal and green color for the sample. I absolutely loved it because those are my colors. I'm having a hard time deciding between this one and another one."
"I am so in love with these invites. Just received them in the mail and for one, i can't get over how quickly they arrived - well before the estimated arrival date. I was in a panic due to ordering a little later than i should have, so needless to say i am ecstatic! The paper quality is excellent, i got the pearl finish on the invites, as well as the envelops and it gives such a beautiful touch. I can't forget to mention the customer service, this site is amazing! I had a few changes requested and they were done promptly and exactly to my liking. Would definitely use them again - for a different type of occasion of course ;)"

Looking 4 maple tree; biggest, longest-living, best type for zone 5b? Any adivice or pointers to a good authorative info source, book or URL, very welcome. Thxs :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I garden in Z5a. I also wanted a hardy maple that would give me gorgeous fall colour. I bought 'Green Mountain Sugar Maple' at Humbers in Brampton. They told me this one was the one that grows in New England and gives the goreous colour. We bought 10 of them and planted them along the laneway. That was 6 years ago and they are really starting to fill out now. Marg |

Thanks, Marg. I looked at some pictures, it's a pretty tree. Nice shape. Have they grown much in 6 years? What colour do they turn in fall? Sandy |
Sandy: The trees were, I think, about 12' when we bought them. They have grown about 4'. We get some harsh winter winds here, we're in a valley and the winds tunnel through here in the winter. They have done more filling out than growing tall for now. They are just starting to show their true colors. Marg |

  Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and freakin' sweet. The animated series features the adventures of the Griffin family. Peter and Lois have three kids - the youngest is a brilliant, sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and world domination. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense. Meg desperately tries to be part of the popular crowd, and is coldly rebuffed. Their talking dog Brian keeps baby Stewie in check while sipping martinis and sorting out his own life issues. After being canceled in 2002, having an outstanding performance in DVD sales and syndication ratings that beat late-night talk shows, its cult status reached great heights. As a result, the series was added back to the FOX Summer 2005 line-up. Family Guy returned to the small screen with new episodes on Sunday, May 1st, 2005. A DVD Movie was released in September of 2005. Family Guy has won 3 Emmy awards and 3 Annie awards.

Sunnyside Interim City manager Frank Sweet arrested on theft charges
Sweet is accused of stealing a city of Selah computer and hard drive, as well as destroying and moving public documents during his last week as Selah City Supervisor, a position he held for nearly 20 years.
According to court documents, on Sweet's last day in office in Selah, he requested an outside computer technician to "clean up" his city-owned work computer by removing anything with his name on it.
Investigators say Selah Mayor John Gawlik reported Sweet returned all known city-owned property issued to him except for a computer and external hard drive. Gawlik said the city's property was nowhere to be found.
Sweet allegedly told Selah Attorney Bob Noe that the laptop and external hard drive disappeared from his office in December.
Detectives say Selah Executive Assistant Monica Lake provided a statement that Sweet shredded or recycled almost all of the paperwork in his office during the last week on the job. She also alleged all of Sweet's Outlook contacts were missing from his computer.
According to court documents, an investigation into the destruction of public records found 154 files, had been deleted or moved by user "fsweet."
Detectives say those files appear to be related to official city of Selah business.
A search warrant was served to Sweet at his home on August 13th. Court documents reveal investigators recovered the missing laptop computer and external hard drive owned by the city of Selah.
Detectives say they also found "numerous" piles of Selah public records and site plans.
Investigators say Sweet originally claimed ownership of the devices, but later admitted that former Selah Mayor Bob Jones had given him the electronics.
Sweet denied destroying any records at Selah City Hall, but court documents show he did admit to deleting emails and transferring some of the emails to his external hard drive.
Sweet faces two possession of stolen property charges, two theft charges and an injure/take public records charge.
The arrest comes on the heels of Sunnyside city leaders seeking to permanently hire Sweet for the city manager position.
Sunnyside offered Sweet the interim city manager position in March and the news of Sweet's arrest came as a surprise to council members.
KIMA asked Sunnyside's Mayor, "Will his arrest impact offering him the permanent city manager position?"
"I couldn't answer that until after I know what happened," said Sunnyside Mayor Mike Farmer.
"So you guys don't know what happened at all?" KIMA asked.
"I have some ideas but I don't know the specifics," Farmer said.
Sweet served as the City Supervisor for Selah for nearly 20 years.
He was put on paid administrative leave within a week of Selah Mayor John Gawlik taking office, and eventually reached a severance agreement with the city.
Selah city leaders said little about Sweet's arrest, other than stressing the importance of protecting public records.
Sweet was released on his on recognizance Tuesday following a court appearance. Prosecutors have until Thursday to formally file charges.
Sunnyside said it opened its own investigation into the arrest of their interim city manager.
Sweet will appear back in court later this month.

JONAS HELLBORG By ROBERT KAYE Published April 19, 2006 Icon Bardo
Long viewed in the international fusion community as a musician's musician, bass guitarist/composer Jonas Hellborg continues to reassert himself as a deft instrumentalist and musical pathfinder. Hellborg again teams up with equally talented (and "out-of-the-box") players: American guitarist Shawn Lane and V. Selvaganesh on kanjeera (tambourine) and konokol, as he did on Good People In Times of Evil. Delving further into classical Indian music's nuances of structure and improvisation, to this stirring triumvirate Hellborg invites vocalist V. Umamahesh and percussionist V. Umashankar on ghatam (clay pot) and konokol. Hellborg has always been an iconoclast. Even within the reincarnation of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra in the mid-'80s his bass playing evinced a wanderlust quality. Icon is by far his most in-depth excursion into the traditional Indian repertoire. Respectful of its profound heritage (and his collaborators' skills), Hellborg often chooses the minimalist path—albeit when he's not soloing or laying down some mind-boggling grooves—allowing his band mates to shine. Case in point: the album's opener, "Anchor." Almost half of the 15-minute piece is dedicated to Indian percussion syllables (bols) in a rhythmic conversation between Selvaganesh and Umashankar.
