So, im looking at some tires on eBay to possible buy. The pics of the tires look like they are in very good shape. I asked the seller how much tread is left and he said there is 3/8ths tread on the tires. Now when I heard this it makes me think that the tires are low on tread. But after reading I've realized I'm very confused as to what tread depth numbers are good and bad.
If it matters... the tires are 255/85/16 BFG km2's. he's asking $600 for tires and wheels, although I cannot use the wheels but I could resell and gain some of the $ lost. Anyway, is there enough tread left to last a good while?

Sofia tells me how she got lost.I try to calm her down and help her get up.
"I have GPRS in my phone so we can find our way out. So don't worry !",I tell looking at her scared face.
"ok I umm…hope so.." ,she replies nervously .
just then she took out her phone and it was so old and outclassed I started to laugh
"ha ha ha! That's your phone its so old?? " I told her laughing.
"I cant help it, umm.. my parents didn't trust me to bring my blackberry so I bought this instead" ,she tells me .
Just then we hear a sound and my phone drops from my hand and I see it fall, broken into pieces on the forest floor .
"HA HA! Serves you right for laughing at my phone ! " she says hotly and it makes me so angry I just grab her hand thightly and say "drop it! ."
"but uhh..let go of my hand it really hurts " she says with fear in her eyes.
I hold her hand more tighter and she drops the phone .
She moves away from me and I could sense the fear in her eyes. She was so scared. I should never have done that. I started to feel guilty and I went near her she started to move away then she fell down. I rushed towards her and saw that her lip was cut and was bleeding. Just then it started to rain. The situation couldn't get any worse….

In preparation for the winter, MarinSEL English teacher Ms. Leonhart helped Terra Linda High School students to organize a pop-up store for the homeless at Davidson Middle School. This event was a huge success thanks to dedicated students working to collect clothes donations for their free goods store, which included a Men's and Women's section and a free barber for those in need. Ms. Leonhart and the students expressed that, in addition to providing clean and warm clothes, the value of this event was engaging in a meaningful and dignified way with a population that many people choose to ignore.

It's that time of year again - Fall is here and while our first class of MarinSEL seniors look at their college options for next year, 8th graders across Marin are similarly wondering what academic opportunities lie ahead. With increasing demand and interest in MarinSEL from 8th graders and their parents, we would like to announce a number of new opportunities to learn about the program.
As of October 6th, we have expanded our Shadow Days to accommodate ten students per day and added two additional days. These are filling up quickly, so sign up as soon as possible! Register for Shadow Days here.
For 8th grade parents, we are now hosting two MarinSEL open house events!
The first MarinSEL Open House will be as originally advertised, taking place at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, October 7th at the Terra Linda High School library. This Open House will feature a presentation from our Executive Director, Cyane Dandridge, as well as a word from lead teacher Jesse Madsen and a student-led tour of the MarinSEL classrooms. This is a great chance for parents to learn about the program and ask current parents and students any questions they may have.
The second MarinSEL Open House will take place immediately after Terra Linda High School's 8th Grade Parent Night on Tuesday, October 21st at the Terra Linda HS Performance Hall. Terra Linda's 8th Grade Parent Night will begin at 6:00pm and MarinSEL's Open House will begin at 7:00pm. This Open House event will include a presentation from MarinSEL lead teacher Jesse Madsen and will also be followed by an informative tour.
If you are available on the weekend of February 7th/8th 2015, sign up to help with our Exploration Days for MarinSEL applicants! We need parents to help with sign-ins, event organization and the day's events. Students will participate in a number of activities including parent-conducted interviews, group case studies, and more to help decide the MarinSEL class of 2019!
Our wonderful MarinSEL volunteer, Michelle, was recently honored as the Volunteer of the Week in the MarinIJ. This week, she received a letter of thanks from Assemblyman Marc Levine! We are so thankful to have Michelle as a volunteer, working behind the scenes to support our students and teachers.
LEAD Projects: MarinSEL Students present their work
On December 12th and 13th 2013, in the Terra Linda high school amphitheater, the MarinSEL sophomore and freshmen classes presented their semester long Leadership and Environmental Action Development (LEAD) Projects to parents, peers, teachers and community partners. All ten individual groups presented: two garden groups, two transportation groups, two water groups, one climate group, one electric vehicle group, one waste group and one solar hot water group.
Each group introduced their goals, difficulties, accomplishments and individual reflection on the process that they, as individuals, and as a group had to go through.
The Garden Group built on last year's success and partnered up with the Marinwood Farmers Market where group members completed internships. Older students mentored the freshmen, while the group as a whole educated the community at large on the benefits of growing, selling and buying locally. The Garden Group also partnered up with Peet's Coffee who donated coffee grounds for the enhancement of the MarinSEL garden plants.
The Sustainability Group partnered up with Marin Transit, Marin Municipal Water District and Marin Clean Energy and held a sustainability informative fair at the affordable housing company EAH. Through the activities they had planned out they were able to educate the tenants about how to bring about positive changes for the environment with very little impact on their daily lives.
The Transportation Group focused on finding innovative ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the Terra Linda High Schools students. They created a carpool website, a walk and bike to school day, had a green car show on campus, and distributed raffle tickets to participants. Over 200 students participated in this initiative and based on the survey taken by the Group, almost all participants indicated that this effort has inspired them to opt for better and greener transportation.
The Waste Reduction Group had three goals: To make composting available on campus, to install hand dryers in the school's bathrooms, and to place recycling bins on campus in strategic areas. The group organized a compost day during which they collected over 16 pounds of compost, to be used in the MarinSEL Garden. They discovered that each day about 3-6 pounds of paper towels are used in each bathroom of the school, and researched the most cost-efficient hand dryers on the market. Finally, they looked for the best recycling bins available, and with a 3D map of the school found the best strategic areas where to place these bins for everyone to use easily. They partnered up with Marin Sanitary, the School Board, and the janitorial staff at Terra Linda High and worked directly with the Principal.
The Water & Hydration Station Group's main goal was to install water refill stations on campus to reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles, and encourage the use of reusable bottles. They partnered up with the Marin Municipal Water District to inform and educate the students as well as the school administration. They also undertook a student survey, including a campus-wide plastic bottle audit, and as the result of a fundraising campaign received free reusable bottles to sell on campus. Their research proved that FLO water refill stations are cost-beneficial not only to Terra Linda High School, but for all students since a refill would cost only 25 cents. They hope that these stations will be installed on campus in the near future.
The Garden Group's main goal was to tend to the school garden and harvest produce to sell at the Marinwood farmer's market. They worked with Heritage Landscapes and Agricultural Community Events to maintain the garden and improve its infrastructure, update the sellers' certification, harvest and sell remaining fall produce and plant seeds and starters for winter crops. Along with maintaining the contents of the garden, they also made new sign for garden and repainted the raised beds. During project week they created mini-greenhouses over each raised bed to protect the crops from frost.
The Solar Hot Water Group worked with Sun Water Solar to promote solar hot water heating at local community pools. In order to do this, the students performed a site assessment of the Lucas Valley Community pool and create a feasibility report for a solar hot water installation there. The students presented to the Lucas Valley Home Owner's Association board on their findings and available rebates. Using the results of their Lucas Valley study, the group then reached out to other community pools to community their research and findings.
The Electric Vehicle Group's goal was to promote the use of electric vehicles in Marin County. The group partnered with the Golden Gate Electric Vehicle Association to promote electric vehicles at the Marin Plug In day in September. Along with the GGEVA and Adopt a Charger the students worked to promote the proposed charging station at the Point Reyes National Seashore Visitors Center by presenting to community members and stakeholders. During project week the students wrote grants requesting funds from the Transportation Authority of Marin and County of Marin to help support this installation.
The Transportation Group worked with Safe Routes to School to host a Walk and Bike to school week at Dixie Elementary. To kick off the week and get kids excited they ran an assembly on green transportation. Each day during project week the students tallied class transportation modes and awarded a pizza party to the winning classroom. The students also helped form "walking buses" to school in the morning, which helped promote the personal health and community aspect of walking to school.
The Bay Water Quality Group worked to assess local water quality and educate 8th graders at Miller Creek about pharmaceuticals in water. The students worked with Marin Central Sanitation Agency to collect and test water samples from various locations in Marin for pharmaceuticals and other basic water quality parameters. The students used their research to create a lesson on water quality and pharmaceuticals and taught 8th grade science classes at Miller Creek Middle School.
One reflective theme that all groups shared was the difficulty of communicating with one another and the partners. Each group had to come up with creative ways to counter these communication glitches, and as a result most participants benefited of a great learning curve not only in their specific area of interest, but also in communication skills.
Great job!
Going Beyond Grades
For most students, success in school is defined by the five letter grades, 'A' through 'F'. These standardized measurements aim to define varying levels of student achievement, yet they are woefully limiting. Letter grades automatically rank students and drive them to focus on the product rather than the process, where learning occurs. They can also de-motivate students and increase their anxiety. Even more, grades can be an inaccurate measure that does not represent student learning.
In MarinSEL we emphasize the process and development of student learning. And for MarinSEL students, success means exceeding their own expectations. Rather than just completing an assignment for a letter grade, turning it in and being done with it, students are encouraged to explore and implement additional strategies that add value to their work and learning.
We recognize that the problems, issues and tasks our students will continue to address in school and in the working world are endless and varied. Life beyond school, no matter where it takes us, is not about getting grades, or checking off boxes on standardized tests. It requires that we apply the important skills of critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration to dynamic problems and solutions. And the desire to make positive changes and contributions in the world entails that we go above and beyond the norm. A life well-lived is about being satisfied with the process and the product, and having fun at the same time.

Ingredients & Description
DHEA is an endogenous hormone- meaning it is produced in and by the human body. The forerunner to both male and female sex hormones, it is recommended that people under the age of thirty-five should not consider supplementation of DHEA. We are able to produce sufficient amounts naturally until about the age of thirty, when production begins to decrease.Indicated for people thirty-five years of age or higher, supplemental DHEA may help thwart signs of aging- wrinkles, weaker metabolism, etc. Recent studies suggest DHEA may help prevent bone mineral loss and therefore may be useful in preventing osteoporosis. In addition to enhancing mental capabilities, it is believed DHEA may help men with erectile dysfunction and increase libido in women as well as men.

Great smoke, lit well, slow even burn, coffee flavors with medium to strong finish.

"Great cigar"
If you don't have one of these flavor bombs in your humidor, Get Some! Great tobacco flavor , not overly complex with a mildly sweet flavor you might expect from a Maduro less the creamy taste. More of a very very light sugar reminder on your palet. I've smoked both a 6X60 ( great) but prefer the Rothschild size.

Egypt court sentences Brotherhood leaders to life in prison | ||||||||||||||||
CAIRO (AP) -- An Egyptian court sentenced five leaders of the banned Muslim Brotherhood group to life in prison on Saturday over violence at their headquarters in 2013 and issued death sentences for four others. The case stems from clashes in a Cairo suburb on June 30, 2013, four days before the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, that killed 11 people and wounded 91. The men faced charges including murder and possessing firearms. The verdict can be appealed. Brotherhood Supreme Guide Mohammed Badie and his deputy Khairat al-Shater were among those sentenced to life, along with former lawmaker Mohammed el-Beltagy and party head Saad el-Katatni and his deputy, Essam el-Erian. Nine others also received life in prison. Badie already has been sentenced to death in another case. Inside the defendants' cage, the men held up four fingers in a gesture symbolizing their opposition to the military-backed government. Newspaper al-Masry al-Youm reported that Badie shouted at one point: "Down with all military judges, ... down with (President Abdel-Fattah) el-Sissi." Some 22,000 people have been arrested since Morsi's ouster, including most of the Brotherhood's leaders, as well as non-Islamist activists swept up by police during protests. Morsi faces four ongoing trials, on charges that include organizing jailbreaks, conspiring with foreign powers and inciting the killing of protesters, for which he could face the death penalty. He was Egypt's first democratically elected leader, but his turbulent one-year rule left the country sharply divided. Also Saturday, another court sentenced 168 people to two years in prison each over violence at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo in 2012. The violence was sparked by outrage over a film denigrating the Prophet Muhammad made by an Egyptian in the United States. © 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Management of Ulcerative Colitis: Medications
Your health care provider may prescribe medication to help control your ulcerative colitis symptoms and help improve your quality of life. It won't cure ulcerative colitis, but it can help keep it from slowing you down. Work closely with your health care provider. You may have certain side effects or your symptoms may change. In this case, your medication or dosage may need to be changed.
These drugs can reduce inflammation and pain in the intestinal lining. They must be prescribed by your health care provider. The most common anti-inflammatories for ulcerative colitis are called 5-ASA compounds, or mesalamine. They help control symptoms over long periods of time. They may be taken as pills, but they also can be taken as an enema or suppository, inserted directly into the rectum.
Possible Side Effects of 5-ASA Compounds
Your health care provider will explain the side effects and other details of any new medications. Call your health care provider if any side effects become severe.
Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation. Unlike 5-ASA compounds, they are most often taken for short periods only, with dosages gradually reduced. They also shouldn't be taken during remission. (Remission is a long period without severe symptoms.)
Possible Side Effects of Corticosteroids
Taken over time, corticosteroids can cause severe side effects. They also may put you at risk for diabetes.
Side effects may include:
Mood changes
Trouble sleeping
Weight gain
Puffy face or acne
Changes in body shape
Bone loss or fractures
High blood pressure
Eye problems
Facial hair (women)
Stretch marks
Other Medications
Immunosuppressives act on the immune system, the part of your body that fights disease. This may reduce symptoms. These medications can be taken for long periods. But you may need to see your doctor more often to monitor your health.
Antibiotics may be given for infection.
Handling Side Effects
You and your health care provider will discuss side effects. In most cases, side effects are easy to manage. But sometimes they can be so severe that you need to change medication. Call your health care provider if you're having side effects that trouble you. Also call if you're having any side effects that are unexpected.

MDGs and the Americas |
"We reaffirm our support for the mandates and commitments undertaken at...the Millennium Summit of the United Nations (New York, 2000)...and the High-level Plenary Meeting of the Sixtieth Session of the United Nations General Assembly (New York, 2005) as a fundamental condition for the sustainable development of our countries." - Fourth Summit of the Americas, Declaration of Mar del Plata, November 2005 Political Commitments In November 2003, a conference was organized in Brazil to promote political consensus around the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Latin America and the Caribbean. The outcome of this meeting was the Brasilia Declaration, signed by heads of state, parliamentarians, senior officials, civil society, and the private sector. The declaration reinforced the partnership principle inherent in the MDGs and spelled out the responsibilities of governments, legislators, civil society, and the international community. The concept of economic, social, and cultural rights with a special emphasis on the right to health is a political commitment expressed in the "Protocol of San Salvador". Building on this concept, the Summit of the Americas Process, through its High-Level Hemispheric Head of State Meetings held every four years, and the Resolutions and Plans of Action they produce, have made clear that the MDGs are the centerpiece of development and the promotion of health in the region. Regional Progress While the Americas seem to fare well in comparison with other Regions of the world, analyses have suggested that no country in the region is likely to reach all of the MDG targets. Indeed, some of the greatest challenges for the countries of the Americas lie within the health area, along with the reduction of poverty. The region as a whole is on a good track for meeting the goal of reducing hunger, infant malnutrition and mortality, access to safe drinking water and gender equity in education. However, progress varies enormously between countries, therefore it is important to look beyond regional averages and focus on the most vulnerable groups and the worst areas. Regional advancement towards the goals in some areas has not been sufficient, and efforts must be maintained on poverty reduction - especially as an adverse pattern has developed where the countries with the highest poverty rates tend to improve less. Another challenge is maternal mortality, as efforts have not yielded the expected outcomes. While the region has seen an increase in the number of children of all genders attending elementary school, there is still a long road ahead before universal primary education becomes a reality. It is necessary to make further efforts to move ahead on basic sanitation and environmental sustainability. Within this context, health plays a pivotal role that assists and strengthens all efforts in poverty alleviation. For the Americas, the MDGs constitute a historic opportunity to attain the highest level of political will to target efforts to reduce poverty and therefore improve health.

Comments about New Era San Francisco Giants Authentic Performance Skull Cap:
Love the item. Use it for training runs for marathon. Gets sweaty so requires washing, and after a few washes, the team logo peels off easily. Love the product, but wish the quality allowed for survival beyond few washes.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — So many turn to music to help lift their spirits when they're having a rough day. So, when a student from the Punxsutawney Area Middle School, Colin Wineberg,

Event organizer Mike Krach, a music teacher in the Punxsutawney Area School District, said Colin is a 7th-grade student in the district who is in need of a kidney transplant. When Wineberg fell ill this past summer rather suddenly, Krach said a chronic kidney disease was discovered.

Following our recent Ofsted visit, we are making a number of changes. We had identified areas that needed improvements under the new Ofsted inspection framework before the visit and had already scheduled and begun to implement changes. However, not all of our improvement plans were underway when the inspection took place in February. The new campus and facilities are due to complete in September. We are confident that we can regain our 'Outstanding' accreditation. We want to reassure our students that we have listened to Ofsted and are working hard towards this goal.

F#$% Valentine's Day! Top Ten Anti-Love Songs
Tyler the Creator's "She"
Some of you probably didn't even realize Frank Ocean is part of the young rowdy rap group Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, but he is. He raps and sings all over this love song for the mentally unstable. Tyler the Creator knows how to write a love sonnet, with lots of blood. So what, he's a stalker. He's the kindest, most devoted stalker you'll ever have to restrain.
Eminem's "Kim"
But who taught Tyler and the rest of the OFWGKTA crew everything they know about love, rap and dead bodies? The master of anti-love, Marshall Mathers himself. When he found out his wife Kim was cheating, he didn't write some metaphorical forlorn poem, he let it all out in the booth. He walked himself through his first instinct - to drag her out into the woods, torture and kill her. It's the killing instinct that lets you know your love is real in the first place. No one will ever be able to top this realness.

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology advises people with allergies to be mindful of the time of year they exercise outside. If spring comes early, tree pollination will start sooner—triggering spring hay fever. Allergic to ragweed? When fall starts, be ready to treat your allergy symptoms.

Nestled on an ultra-steep infill lot near downtown Mill Valley, Calif., the Hillside House was designed to work in concert with the parcel's topography, as vertically connected spaces interplay with an abundance of covered porches, decks, and balconies to form a dwelling that is as in tune with nature as it is tied into it.
Telescoping doors provide seamless transitions from indoors to outdoors, which the judges praised for making the house seem larger than its 2,116 square feet suggests. Even the master bathroom makes use of the surrounding trees and view: A glass wall separates the indoor shower from an outdoor bathtub, transforming an "intimately scaled bedroom and bathroom into a majestic space," says project designer SB Architects.
With nearly 20% below grade, the LEED-Platinum home reaps the ground's natural insulative benefits, while the integration with the exterior allows for abundant daylight and natural ventilation; the layout also provides optimal positioning for the roof- and trellis-mounted 3.75-kW solar arrays. Spray-foam insulation, energy-efficient appliances, water-conserving fixtures, FSC-certified lumber, and zero-VOC paints are just a few of the home's numerous resource-conserving features.
Wood siding and beams combine with metal accents and purposeful symmetry to lend a rustic yet sophisticated feel to this "modern cabin," as it is described by architect and homeowner Scott Lee, AIA, while locally crafted and sourced elements, including recycled-content ceramic tiles and custom benches made from fallen tree trunks, support Lee's desire to highlight sustainability as well as the town's artistic roots. Interior designer Erin Martin repurposed chalked-up, discarded scaffolding boards into one-of-a-kind stairwell walls and transformed buoys from Washington's Puget Sound into vibrant pendant lights.
"It's comfortable and familiar because of the palette of materials," says Lee, "but it appeals to our sense as designers because [of its] modern elements."

A wildlife photographer in Indonesia says, a primate was caught investigating the equipment before becoming fascinated with his own reflection in the lens.
And, he says, it wasn't long before he took a camera and snapped himself in a variety of poses.
By the way, the toothy poses are my favorite.

Political Animal blogger Steve Benen (6/11/09) has a look at the remarkable occurrence of Fox News' Shep Smith "reminding the viewing audience, shortly after the shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, of the DHS report that warned of potentially violent radicals" and "talking about the emails he's seen from Fox News viewers" he calls "amped up and so angry for reasons that are absolutely wrong, ridiculous, preposterous":
Smith, with good reason, seemed genuinely concerned about the severity of the right-wing rage. Just as important, he seemed to realize that these increasingly agitated conservatives are incensed, not because of justified concerns, but because of "ridiculous" developments that have been cooked up in the far-right imagination.
But here's the kicker: soon after Smith had signed off for the day, his Fox News colleague, Glenn Beck told his national television audience "the Germans" during Hitler's rise "were an awful lot like we are now."
Benen dares to suggest that "the reason the emails to Fox News have become 'more and more frightening'" and "'out there'" is largely "because of deranged demagogues like Beck telling confused conservatives they have reason to be enraged, reality notwithstanding." Read the current issue of FAIR's magazine Extra!: "Glenn Beck Is No Howard Beale: Heâ┚¬Ã¢"ž¢s Mad Like a Fox, and Wants to Take Us In" (6/09) by Steve Rendall.

funny stuff:
Pet Names
To be romantic, you have to call each other names carefully crafted to make yourself and everyone around you throw up. This romance technique doubles as a passion meter way more accurate than those quarter eating machines in arcades; if you use these pet names and don't throw up, you're genuinely in love.
Here's how to construct your own pet name. Mix up the syllables "pook," "wee," "hon," "oop," and "ums," (never use the syllables "skuzz" or "elch"), rhyme a lot, and make liberal references to baked goods. For example, (WARNING! WARNING! TURN YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!), "Sweetie Pumpkin Pookums" is a perfectly acceptable and effective pet name, as are "Moopsie Cutie," "Hunny Wunny Cakes," and, for the extravagant, "Snookie Wookum Weetie Bunny Pie." (It may seem odd to novices that cooked rodents would be romantic, but they are.) For best results, speak these pet names with a big dumb grin, an admiring gaze, and a high-pitched squeal, and follow it up with an exaggerated sigh of dreamy contentment. The most important thing to remember about this is never ever do this in front of me.
so anyone would like to share their pet name for their SO?

A California principal, accused of murdering her husband, is due in court Tuesday -- the same day that her husband is laid to rest.
Leslie Jenea Chance, who led a California elementary school, shot her husband to death, police say, and left his car some 20 miles away from his bullet-riddled body.
The accusation left parents shocked. They remember Chance as a jovial woman, a hardworking professional, and an involved mom.
"It was hard to believe," Ken Chichester, a school district spokesman told CNN affiliate KGET. "Several of the people I talked to, their first response was they got the wrong person this time. It was out of character and very hard to believe."
Todd Chance's body was found August 25, in an almond orchard in Bakersfield, a city about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Later that day, his black Ford Mustang was found abandoned in a residential area in the city. Read More
The brutal slaying of an Australian who was attending college in the U.S. on a baseball scholarship has shattered two towns on opposite sides of the globe. Three teens have been arrested charged as adults for the crime.
DUNCAN, Okla. -- With a motive that's both chilling and simple - to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer - three teenagers randomly targeted an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him for fun, prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the boys with murder.
Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys "thugs" as he described how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was shot once in the back and died along a tree-lined road on Duncan's well-to-do north side. He said the three teens, from the grittier part of town, chose Lane at random and that one of the boys "thinks it's all a joke."
Hicks charged Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, of Duncan, with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court.
Jones wept in the courtroom after he tried to speak about the incident but was cut off by the judge who said it wasn't the time to sort out the facts of the case. Jones faces anywhere from two years to life in prison if convicted on the counts he faces. Read More

DECATUR, Ga. — A school clerk here on Tuesday stalled a man dressed in black who had sneaked into an elementary school with an AK-47, giving the police time to arrive before he could make his way into classrooms packed with 800 children.
The man, who the police said was Michael B. Hill, 20, and lived near the school, the Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, was in a car that the police said they suspected carried some type of explosives along with other weapons.
He most likely followed someone into the secure school, according to an account by police and school officials.
Once inside, he made his way to the main office, said Cedric Alexander, chief of the DeKalb County Police Department. He demanded that someone call a local television station. Antoinette Tuff, a clerk, made the call. Read More

BOSTON — Longtime Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy said Saturday he could not describe his "disgust and remorse" over allegations his son fatally stabbed his girlfriend a day after being released from custody for allegedly assaulting her.
In a statement released through his Twitter account, Remy said he and his wife are "heartbroken" over the death of Jennifer Martel on Thursday night, allegedly at the hands of his son, Jared.
"Words cannot describe my wife's and my grief," Jerry Remy wrote. "Son or not, I am at loss for words articulating my disgust and remorse over this senseless and tragic act." Read More

A nationwide sweep by federal agents targeting the violent MS-13 street gang has resulted in hundreds of arrests, including 263 gang members, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announced Friday.
Those arrested in the July and early August sweep include suspects wanted on murder, assault, sexual assault, robbery and kidnapping charges, among other offenses, ICE said in a news release.
Among those charged are 158 members and associates of MS-13, with 105 others allegedly belonging to other gangs. Authorities arrested 84 non-gang members wanted on criminal charges and 14 people on immigration violations as part of the same sweep, according to the federal agency.
Special agents with ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit also seized 28 firearms, 10 kilograms of marijuana, 123 grams of cocaine, over 770 grams of heroin and about $22,400 in cash. Read More

Federal agents say they've now linked 11 killings to admitted serial killer Israel Keyes and are looking into possible ties to killings in other countries.
Keyes killed himself in December, about nine months after his arrest in the slaying of an Anchorage, Alaska, coffee barista. Police said he admitted to at least seven other slayings, from Vermont to Washington state, before his death.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the FBI office in Anchorage said agents have now added three more to that grim tally, based on his statements:
-- a pale-skinned woman in an older car, "possibly having a wealthy grandmother"
-- one in which the victim was posed to make it look like the death had been an accident
-- one "in Texas or a surrounding state" that he had denied committing before his death. Read More

The New York Police Department violated the Constitution with its practice of stopping and searching people suspected of criminal activity, a federal judge ruled Wednesday in a decision likely to lead police departments across the country to take a close look at their crime-fighting tactics.
Finding that New York City's so-called stop-and-frisk program amounted to "indirect racial profiling" by targeting blacks and Hispanics disproportionate to their populations, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin ordered the installation of the department's first-ever independent monitor to oversee changes to its practices. City officials have argued that stop-and-frisk is a key component in their largely successful efforts to fight crime, but opponents have criticized it as a blatant violation of civil rights.
New York City officials immediately criticized the decision. "No federal judge has ever imposed a monitor over a city's police department following a civil trial," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He said the city didn't receive a fair trial, citing comments from the judge that he said "telegraphed her intentions," and he said the city would seek an immediate stay while appealing the decision.
With the purpose of writing about true crime in an authoritative, fact-based manner, veteran journalists J. J. Maloney and J. Patrick O'Connor launched Crime Magazine in November of 1998.
Their goal was to cover all aspects of true crime: from organized crime to serial killers, from capital punishment to prisons, from historical crimes to celebrity crime, from assassinations to government corruption, from justice issues to innocent cases, from crime films to books about crime.

What is Spot Pass for Nintendo 3DS? How does SpotPass work?
SpotPass is the name given to the way your Nintendo 3DS can detect wireless hotspots and download various types of data automatically (whether at home or at designated hotspots). Most likely, this will be while your 3DS is sitting in Sleep Mode (perhaps while you are asleep too), and you'll wake up to spot that a little something for you has been downloaded in the meantime.
What content will be downloaded via SpotPass?
SpotPass content could take the form of many things - something as simple as a new notification for a System Update, to something as cool as bonus items for a game you have been playing recently. For example, players of beat-em-up Dead or Alive: Dimensions will receive up to 30 free costumes via SpotPass.
Kind of obvious, but you need to make sure that your 3DS is switched on and wireless is enabled in order to receive SpotPass content.
If you have any questions about SpotPass on the 3DS, comment below and I'll do my best to answer for you!

Salt, Crystals, and Bluing
Name: Pat G. Status: educator Age: 50s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2003
Hi, I have gone through you archives and found things on salt crystals. But, my questions is we made salt crystals using salt, bluing and ammonia,what part does the bluing play in the beautiful crystal formation that forms on a sponge shaped like a tree. Second, I understand why the crystal forms in general, salt being cube shaped etc. But why the fine, soft, feathery formations. Ammonia, does this facilitate the formation or become part of the formation. Bluing, what is it really? Couldn't get crystals to form with Epsom salt, at least not through the sponge, why?
There is a bit more to growing colored crystals than is apparent at first glance. Pure substances like salt and Epsom salts have a preferred arrangement of their sub-units. Dyes and other additives interfere with (and sometimes distort ) the preferred arrangement. Thus, what should have been cubic is sometimes shaped differently that what one might observe with the unadulterated material.
Also, what one gets in a crystal growing experiment sometimes depends on the substrate on which the crystals grow. The capillarity of a sponge could lead to results different from that observed if the pure solution was simply allowed to evaporate from a covered petri dish.
Bluing is an organic dye whose structure is very different from the structure of the crystals you are trying to grow.
Ammonia is a gas that is not likely to become incorporated within the crystal. Nevertheless, an ammonia solution could change the pH of the growing medium and thereby have an effect depending on the substance being crystallized.

I wonder how difficult it would be to change the drumbeat from 'Support The Troops' to 'Support The Contractors', since I'm told slightly over 50% of people doing 'military business' (yeah, I know, highly loosely defined) are contractors…

Just hours after floating the idea of cutting $20 billion from President Bush's $142 billion request for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan next year, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad was overruled by fellow Democrats Thursday.
"It's nothing that any of us are considering," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters.
Conrad's trial balloon to cut war funding would have affected the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and was separate from the ongoing debate over Bush's $100 billion request for immediate supplemental funding for Iraq and Afghanistan.
Even the Pentagon acknowledges that its $142 billion 2008 war funding request is simply a best guess of Iraq and Afghanistan costs, and Conrad's proposal didn't earn rebukes from Budget Committee Republicans.
But the speed with which it was rejected by his colleagues seemed to reflect Democrats' sensitivity to any accusations of giving shortshrift treatment to funding for troops in battle.
"Our caucus feels strongly that we should go with the president's numbers" on 2008 war costs, Conrad said. He spoke just hours after floating the idea of curbing Bush's request for next year's war budget.
The North Dakota Democrat said he was simply seeking to come up with the most accurate figures possible for war costs as he develops a Democratic budget blueprint for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The $20 billion cut was based on Congressional Budget Office estimates  instead of the administration's February budget request  of Iraq and Afghanistan war costs.
The administration asked for $141.7 billion for fiscal 2008, but assumes only $50 billion for 2009 and no war funding after that.
CBO issued an estimate last month that forecasts 2008 costs of $120 billion for Pentagon operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and military aid for the armies of those two countries. The estimates would drop to $75 billion in 2009 and to $40 billion in 2010.
The CBO scenario assumes the number of troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan are reduced to 30,000 by 2010.
Even before restoring the proposed cut for 2008, Conrad's budget plan assumed $85 billion more in war funds than Bush requested. That's because Conrad included money for a continued troop presence over 2010-2012.
"We are going to provide actually more funding, because we think the president's budget has understated the war costs over the five-year period," Conrad had said at the time he broached the idea of slashing $20 billion from the budget request.
Conrad added that the congressional budget resolution he is drafting for debate later this month will provide Bush's request for a $49 billion boost  to $481 billion  in the core Pentagon budget.
The annual congressional budget blueprint sets guidelines but is not binding, and the actual war budget will be set under a fiscal 2008 defense spending bill that will advance later this year.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England told the budget panel that the administration's $142 billion 2008 war request is the Pentagon's best estimate but that it "could go up or down" depending on how well the war goes.
The nearly four-year-old war in Iraq has thus far been financed primarily through emergency spending bills, to growing criticism from lawmakers who say it should be part of the long-term budget. Last month's Bush budget submission represented the first time the administration offered a detailed war funding request so far in advance.
A separate issue is the looming $100 billion Iraq and Afghanistan funding bill, which continues to roil Capitol Hill.
Democrats are deeply divided over their Iraq strategy, but leaders such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., want the war funding bill to require that any troops deployed in Iraq be properly trained, equipped and rested.
The conditions could be waived, under their most recent plan, but President Bush would have to do so himself, and report to Congress each time.
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Republicans would vote against the war funding measure if it contained restrictions that inhibited Bush, but he said Republicans would have to see a detailed proposal before reaching any such decision.
"We will fight every effort that the Democrats attempt to put handcuffs on the president to stymie his ability to wage this war in Iraq and to win it," Boehner said.
The comments marked something of a role revision for Republicans, who have savaged Democrats for proposing conditions on the Iraq spending measure, saying they were trying to cut off funding for the troops.

I wonder how difficult it would be to change the drumbeat from 'Support The Troops' to 'Support The Contractors', since I'm told slightly over 50% of people doing 'military business' (yeah, I know, highly loosely defined) are contractors…
BTW – Both my Congressman and Senator are Democrats.
I wrote to both my Congressman and my Senator yesterday about this. I told them if they choose to do nothing about ending the war, nor exercising power to check some of Bu$hCo, they'd better forget about getting votes in 2008. Dont' stretch it out, then run on a platform in 2008 of ending the war when you didn't do anything.
I also told them to not underestimate the desire of the voters to impeach or severely neuter Bu$hCo.
We'll see what they do… (probably nothing)
Nancy Pe-Lousy and her vile crew have NO intention of doing anything to undo the illegal powers Bush was given by the Republican Congress. Contrary to what the media is reporting about '…the Congress is powerless to stop Bush', Congress voted to give him the powers – they can sure as Hell vote to take them away.
What more evidence do AMERICANS need to DEMAND THAT CONGRESS IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY? (Oh, sorry, that would mean that Congress would have to give up the majority of their own traitors in the process. How silly of me to expect morals and scrupples and the obeying of Oaths to "protect and defend the United States.")
The Democrats are spineless. Either cut all funding for this illegal, immoral war for the wealthy corporations or forget about getting any vote from me. Yeah, yeah, THAT ought to hurt 'em.
Apparently the Democratic party has no ability to convince right-wing bloggers that insisting on proper training and equipment (read, armor) is actually 'supporting the troops.'
When will the nation as a whole realize that 'Supporting the Troops,' in Republikanspeak, is the new "Support the president no matter what?"
I seem to recall in the recent past, some brouhaha about the Pentagon being unable to account for some billions of dollars of funds. Why not a quid pro quo — the military budget is reduced by the amount unaccounted for? If DoD wants money, they should show where it all goes, eh? Or is this idea (accountability) too simple for Demos to grasp?
Ric says pentagon couldn't account for billions.
Actually Ric, on Sept. 10 2001 The pentagon announced that they could not account for over a trillion dollars during the previous two or three year period. It just went missing. Thats like a convoy of eighteen wheelers loaded with hundred dollar bills disappearing. No biggie, they just ask for more
I honestly believe their is not more than 2 or 3 individuals in our whole governmnet thats worth the salt in their bodies. Its not the quality of idiots and assholes located in and around Wash D.C. (although that is impressive) its the f**king quanity. We have to be down to a few months before ALL this shit implodes. Want Mr and Mrs average usa be surprised.
gene, the same thing can be said about U.S. corporation CEO's. Those guys think they are worth a 1000 normal paying jobs and all I can see from them is a bunch of a-holes (the old monkeys in the tree model) that arn't worth 1 paying job.
For examples, look how well the U.S. big two carmakers (Ford, GM) are run these days. It's a nationwide problem.
