The genes you destroy aren't necessarily the ones which would impact survival, and the genes you allow would not necessarily allow for survival. Eugenics based on intelligence does not even get past the logical starting gate in the first place because there isn't necessarily an intelligence gene and there is no assurance that intelligence alone will aid in our survival.

There likely isn't an "intelligence gene" but the number one predictor of individual accomplishment in life is parental achievement. There have been interesting twin studies where the twins, raised in different environments, ended up with quite similar lives. So the evidence points to some level of intelligence being hereditary. Sure, there isn't necessarily an intelligence gene, but evidence shows a hereditary link.
Do you actually believe that intelligence isn't hereditary, or are you just arguing for the fun of it?

So true. It bothers me when I hear people parrot "we're living in a more complex world now". No, we're not. Every basic need is addressed with trivial ease now that we have shifted the burden of work to corporate-structured entities like businesses and governments.

We're all so used to having our basic needs met through organization that most of us would freeze to death if our car broke down on a lonely road in a snowstorm; we have no clue how our technology works, and no knowledge of how to fix it. It's interesting how many recent films, tv shows, and novels take place in a "shit-hits-the-fan" scenario where organized society breaks down and most everyone is helpless because there's no more easy food, water, and electricity as the state of nature is restored.

It is imperative the human race generates settlements OFF this planet...everything else pales in comparison.
Stephen J. Gould once said somewhere that a species lasts on average 10 million years before going extinct. Unfortunately, I cannot remember his reasons if they were mentioned.
We are, what, 200,000 years old?
Aside from catastrophic celestial events or some doomsday weapon, what could knock us out? And why would colonizing another planet solve that?
War is something we can control (which means maybe we should concentrate on the Mind) and as far as something out there doing us in,well, there's not much we can do. And if there is something coming for us, our resources would be much better spent mitigating that threat than sending a handful of people god knows how many light years away. Colonization is just too impractical for it to be a viable option.
But tell us,what is so special about us that the Universe needs to have us around?
We should concentrate on research that makes our lives better; which includes exploring space. How else can we completely understand Earth without understanding other planets?
"Aside from catastrophic celestial events or some doomsday weapon, what could knock us out?"
So, aside from the most likely known scenario (and the second most likely one right along with it), what could knock us out? Catastrophic non-celestial events, such as a Yellowstone Caldera eruption, would hit us pretty freaking hard, and might just be enough to trigger some end-times focused religious zealots to trigger biological or nuclear weapons against their imagined enemies in 'retribution'. Getting self-sustaining colonies going somewhere other than this particular chunk of rock significantly reduces the chance that one such incident will off the entire species. It definitely has to be self-sustaining, though.
Actually it's just that human civilization would be set back A LONG way by a certain level of catastrophic disaster. Recovering from something like that would be a lot easier if we didn't lose our recovery mechanisms and resources - which can be averted by ensuring our base of supplies is large enough that it can't be wiped out by a local or regional disaster's consequences.
It's why I'm pretty enthusiastic about the asteroid miners - a few decades of what (and the staggering wealth out there) and it's possible we could broaden our resource base so far that even a global climate event wouldn't do enough damage that we couldn't recover from it.

Due to speed-of-light limitations, huge fuel requirements, and the medical effects of microgravity and radiation exposure, I am not convinced an interstellar voyage will ever be survivable by humans, even as a multi-generational undertaking.
We can live on this rock just fine as long as we keep this environment survivable. Stabilize population size and advance technology to the point where we can live comfortably on renewable and recycled resources, and we're good until the sun becomes unstable. I count that as "long term."

Lack of health care is part of the problem. If the only way to pay your hospital bill is to sue the people who's sidewalk you fell on, then only the lawyers go away winners.
I live in Canada where basic health insurance is a given. If I get hurt, I go to the hospital.period. No questions ask.

Re:Achievement does not equal Intelligence. (Score:4, Interesting)
If you define intelligence as the ability to function in a society, then there's no wonder (and no merit) in finding that this correlates with success in functioning in a society!
I recall intelligence being defined as the capability of functioning in a meaningful way in new situations, such that it doesn't depend on stuff you learned before. This still incorporates a wide variety of traits (and genetic effects), but at least clearly rules out "knowledge".
I like to think Intelligence is measured in IQ (certainly many people assume that in their work), and thus intelligence is what the tests measure. That's the most exact definition you can get
If I recall correctly, the most successful tend to have an IQ like 120. Higher than that, and the "success" starts to drop. But then, there's also problems (and very serious ones) in the ways we measure success!

Comments about Royal Racing Royal Neo Glove 2012:
Just pulling on the glove for the first time you can tell a lot of thought was put into the design and material choice. The thin clarino palm is perfect for those that prefer to feel the bars without padding. The gloves are a little thicker on the back-hand than they look with some light padding on the knuckles, but are still cool in warm weather. The goggle wipe on the thumb is a micro-fiber material rather than the terry cloth found on many other gloves. They fit a little tighter than most brands but are flexible enough to stretch a bit. I usually wear a large to accommodate the length of my fingers and end up with some room to spare in the palm, I bought the large size and they are a perfect fit all around.
My only gripe: The velcro separated from the rubber wrist closure after my first ride, it wasn't much of an issue since it is sewn in at the base and was solved by a dab of super glue. I don't think this is a common issue since it only happened on one of my gloves. That is the only thing that kept me from giving these gloves a five star rating.

Accommodations often take a backseat during the planning stages of a vacation. However, sometimes the places you stay can end up being the best part of your getaway. In Europe, travelers can reserve rooms in centuries-old hotels that have survived civil and world wars or were retreats for legendary fashion icons, authors and even the Queen of England. If you have marked Europe on your map for your next trip, these hotels will add even more intrigue to your vacation.
Grosvenor House, London | Built in the Roaring Twenties, this iconic England hotel was named after one of the original landowners dating back to the late 1600s. In time, it went from being London's first hotel with private bathrooms and running water to one of the most well-known landmarks in the city. Its location on Mayfair's Park Lane overlooking Hyde Park is a testament to its prestige. Before a 92-room add-on in the 1950s, the Grosvenor House served as the largest mess hall in England for U.S.� officers during WWII. Travelers today can enjoy the results of the most recent restorations to the exterior and interior of the Grand Dame of Park Lane.
H�tel Ritz, Paris | One of the most luxurious establishments in France, H�tel Ritz is a destination in itself. The hotel was established by C�sar Ritz of the prominent Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., at the turn of the 20th Century. Like the Grosvenor House, this Parisian inn was a pioneer in modern conveniences, offering its guests electricity, telephones and separate bathrooms.� Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway and other greats have spent time at the H�tel Ritz and earned suites named after them.� You may be hard-pressed to find the means to stay in the Imperial Suite, however - listed as a French national monument of its own.
*The hotel is currently undergoing a massive renovation that has temporarily closed the doors to guests, meaning you might have to shelve your plans to stay here until its slated reopening in 2014.
Hotel Adlon Kempinski, Berlin | Nearly devastated by a fire that started during the final days of WWII, Hotel Adlon would not be the historic landmark it has become today without its colorful past. The hotel can be found on one of the main roadways in Berlin, Unter den Linden.� At the time it opened in 1907, Hotel Adlon offered the most contemporary amenities available in Germany, like hot and cold running water and on-site laundry services. Its neoclassical and Baroque Revival architecture made the German hotel an elegant meeting place for social events attended by celebrities and public figures throughout the eras, such as Thomas Edison, Franklin Roosevelt and Albert Einstein. Today, it has remained a five-star escape for weary travelers.

Orabell Barfield is 94 years old and suffers from dementia. She was placed in Spring Arbor more than a year ago when her only son, Henry Barfield, couldn't care for her anymore.
Henry Barfield has a blood disease and leukemia and is receiving chemotherapy. He lives on a meager disability check, yet he buys supplies for his mother and pays what her insurance won't pay. As the only child, he would check on her when he could, but he has been in and out of the hospital with his own medical problems. Her house is located in an unsafe area, Henry Barfield said.
"She was walking around the house with a .32 pistol in her pocket," he said about his mother before she moved into Spring Arbor.
David Ask, 76, has Parkinson's disease and dementia and resides at Spring Arbor. He gets up in the middle of the night and wanders. He's fallen numerous times. His wife cared for him until she just couldn't do it anymore. His only child, Kristen Eckenwiler, has a family and home schools her children.
Both Barfield and Ask are two of many patients with severe dementia or Alzheimer's disease who, on Jan. 1, will lose hours of care they critically need because the state won't pay for it.
To comply with changes in federal Medicaid standards earlier this year, the General Assembly provided $39.7 million for people in adult care facilities, but left out group homes and special care units.
Appeals process
Many of the group home residents have started an appeal process. For those who haven't appealed, Gov. Beverly Perdue allocated, on Dec. 18, $1 million from the budget of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. Those funds are expected to cover Medicaid costs to prevent group home residents from being ousted until the General Assemble meets again in January to resolve the issue.
Perdue also proposed the $39.7 million designated for adult care facilities to continue through 2013-2014 and be expanded to include group homes, as well.
But people living in special care units who suffer from dementia and related diseases stand to lose care or may have to leave their facility. Medicaid will no longer fully fund special care services for qualified residents. Facilities with special care units — such as Spring Arbor — stand to lose millions of dollars by either taking the cuts or losing residents.
Randy Jackson, executive director of Spring Arbor in Kinston, said he has seven residents who may be affected by the legislative changes.
"Every one of the Alzheimer's resident's that received a letter (to appeal) has been approved for 80 hours of personal care services," he said.
They've been approved based on meeting three of five qualifiers — bathing, dressing, eating, ambulation and toiletry. Through Dec. 31, they would only have to qualify for one.
But they are currently receiving 161 hours of special care services, and the difference in hours will be about $1,000 a month per resident that Spring Arbor stands to lose, Jackson said.
For smaller facilities, the Medicaid dollars cut in half could put them out of business.
"I don't think this is something nobody saw coming," he said. "Now, they're having to ask for adjustments."
Life-changing decisions
And families such as Henry Barfield and his wife and the Eckenwilers face life-changing decisions. Although their loved ones qualify for the services, neither family has the money to pay the difference for the hours of care their loved ones currently receive through Dec. 31.
Barfield said he had been helping his mother for a couple of years since his father died three years ago, but her situation worsened, as did his. He got a microwave for her because she was confused when using the stove and he was afraid she would burn the house down. But she had trouble using the microwave and couldn't read the tiny print on it. He tried cooking for her but he couldn't get to her house every day.
She couldn't figure out how to work the television remote control or the heating and air conditioning controls and would call him at all hours saying it was too hot or too cold. He would set out her medications for each day.
"I would come back the next day," he said, "and the pills would be shuffled around everywhere and she wouldn't know anything about it."
Orabell Barfield doesn't qualify for Medicaid because she owns a house — a house Henry Barfield can't sell as long as his mother is alive.
Eckenwiler, who resides in Wilson, said her father was placed in an adult home in Cary because he frequently fell. And she was one of the first to sign him up for a new Spring Arbor facility to be built in Wilson. Later, he was transferred to Kinston so he would be in the same company, and the ride on N.C. 58, although further, was easier for her mother than driving to Cary.
When August came and the facility was built, Ask couldn't be transferred to Wilson because of the funding issues that loom — the new facility isn't currently taking Medicaid patients.
Ask has stage four dementia. He has frequent episodes of forgetfulness, can't dress himself or use the bathroom by himself and has to live in a locked unit so he can't wander away.
When Ask has a doctor's appointment, his daughter drives from Wilson to Kinston and then to Durham. The round trip is about 300 miles, she said.
Eckenwiler takes her mother to visit him as often as she is able, but she and her husband are raising their children. Their house has stairs, which isn't accommodating for her father.
With the funding reducing and, thereby, the hours being cut, she had hoped her father would be closer to home so she could assist with his care.
Eckenwiler said her mother, who lives in Nashville, can't take care of her husband, and she's not sure how she could either unless they had someone come in to care for him — which would be an added expense.
"I haven't thought about what to do," she said. "I just keep telling my mother we're going to take it one step at a time."
Jackson said Spring Arbor in Kinston will not be asking residents to leave when January rolls around.

Institute of Development Studies (IDS)
New and innovative tools are needed to support the integration of adaptation into every stage of the development process, ensuring that the most vulnerable groups are central to the rapidly expanding climate change research and policy agenda. In particular, local level adaptation approaches must be linked to national and international policy. Equally, future international climate change regimes must be built on principles of equity, deliver dramatic carbon reductions, establish low carbon development pathways and provide funding mechanisms that reach the most vulnerable people.
IDS Climate Change and Disasters Group is building global capacity to meet these challenges through pioneering research and innovative knowledge partnerships.
· Expertise: We link development research and policy agendas to climate change
· Impact: We effect real change through our research and the way it is communicated
· Partnership: We work through our strong network of developing country partners
Reorganising and repackaging the IDS 'Networks and Knowledge Services' in a way that recognises and addresses a number of core needs and objectives identified by the Nairobi work programme
Organizations, institutions and private sector companies at all levels and in a wide range of sectors can become engaged with the NWP by becoming a partner and making Action Pledges. Information about how organizations can become engaged with work on adaptation under the NWP can be found here.

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is a conservation success story. Due to loss of habitat and unregulated market hunting, alligators were reduced to low numbers by the early 1900s. Thanks to the efforts of conservationists and state wildlife agencies, alligators were listed as endangered in 1967. This status, combined with proactive management and law enforcement efforts by wildlife professionals, allowed alligator populations to rebound and they now flourish over most of their historic range. Alligator populations increased to the point that their protected status was downlisted in 1987 allowing greater flexibility to manage populations.
The alligator population in Georgia is one of many renewable natural resources that can sustain limited harvest in concert with biological monitoring and periodic evaluations. Georgias flourishing alligator population is managed through a regulated hunting season. Additionally, licensed nuisance alligator agent-trappers annually remove about 450 alligators in the state.
If you are interested in participating in a totally hands-on, eye-to-eye hunting adventure unlike any other hunting experience you can pursue in Georgia, then the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Wildlife Resources Division (WRD) invites you to submit an application for the opportunity to participate in Georgias alligator hunting season.

Some language designer create a language that focus on developers so they can be happy. Can a programming language make a programmer happy? In what way a programming language make a programmer happy? In the end all programming language is the same isn't it? You also have the burden to do the work which might not make you happy anymore.

The amount of happiness you derive from a programming language is the inverse of the amount of cognitive friction to accomplish a programming task. Ie lots of unnecessary crap will take you out of flow and out of your "zone of happiness" :)
Someone had to mention it - Lolcode always makes me happy:
It never fails to make me smile :)
When I'm not hitting my head against the wall I'm happy.
An excerpt from the "Happy" language
Mmmmm, I'm happy. Until they fire me and I'm burned at the stake by all the other developers in the world.
The main reason I don't like a programming language is when I've had to maintain very ugly code written in that language.
For example, I don't like C++ because I've had to maintain utterly diabolical legacy C++ code in several previous jobs. By contrast, I like Java because most of the Java code I've ever had to maintain has been fairly well written.
It mostly comes down to what MattiasK says I think.
core javascript made me unhappy, jquery did bring lot of happiness for me.
maybe i didn't try as hard as i could being involved in other stuff but today in web 2.0 world and when there are talks about 3.0 it is really must to know something like that ,jquery is the right alternative to that when rapid development is the priority
All Programming languages are not same, IMHO, I'm pretty happy with Java, because of it's syntax, strongly typed variables, pretty understandable API, predefined libraries, etc. But, JavaScript makes me to pich my hair. It's not a strongly typed language. And, a lot of libraries are there with different approach.
A programming language makes you happy when the thought processes you use to work in your problem domain match the thought processes the language supports (not merely allows, mind, but supports!).
A programming language makes you unhappy when the thought processes you use to work in your problem domain do not match the thought processes the language supports (again, as opposed to merely allows).
(A programming language will drive you to wishing death on all of its advocates when the thought process you use to work in your problem domain are actively stifled by the language.)
There are some implications to these:
The reason why there are that many programming languages is simply that all of them are different and make a different group of people more happy than others. There is no and never will be a perfect programming language of which everyone will say "it's my favorite". People are too different for that, and that's actually a good thing because that way we keep seeing new good (or bad) languages that all bring new aspects and keep making other people (more) happy.
The real task is just to find the programming language that fits the best to your needs and which you can work the best with.
The prevailing opinion here is that a programming language should match the thinking processes of the programmer. I will present an alternative: that the thinking processes of the programmer should match the programming language.
Here's why: in the process of matching your thought process to the language, you will implicitly learn about the language as well as the design decisions behind it. This is true especially when the language turns out to not worth using; you'll know why it's so bad and possibly how to prevent such bad designs going forward. If the language teaches you something really worthwhile, on the other hand, you'll have a new tool you'll be able to use for the rest of your career.
I know several languages that make me frustrated. The more a language gets out of my way and lets me think about the problem domain, the more I appreciate the language. That said, while being happy means I'm not frustrated, not being frustrated doesn't automatically make me happy.
I don't look to programming languages for happiness. I have other pursuits in my life that fulfill that role.
A programming language can make you happy for all the reasons ice cream flavor can make you happy.
Some languages can substitute for each other easily in many of these categories, some cannot. Often that depends on the individual preferences.
A language that makes me happy in itself is Scheme.
That does not mean I would like to use it in huge projects, or I like to debug it: what I like a lot about it is the constant sensation of understanding something new about programming, and how computers "think", when I use it.
It's not about memory allocation and stuff, it's about logics. I feel like me and the compiler can actually talk naturally, not like I'm trying to force it doing something I want him to - as in c - or just giving it some code, confident that he'll find some obscure way to understand it - as in python, php, perl, ruby, everything.
Languages are tools. Try to get to know each language, and like them all for different reasons... like they were your sons/daughters... perhaps you "should" have no favourites (but you know you do).
For example, I'm a very happy PHP programmer, and it makes me feel happy and warm and fuzzy. I know c/c++, python, ruby and java, and I like them all equally for different reasons and situations, but my favorite is PHP regardless, because when I do PHP work it is the work that I enjoy most.
I know how to do good PHP, that is, well architected, object oriented, clean and readable (yes, you read right) PHP, but other people have a different concept from PHP, because of their experience with it.
So my answer to your question is yes, but it depends on the person and his/her experience.
Clojure makes me happy for three different reasons:
I'd say any programming language will make you as much happy as your mindset fits its ideology. If you "don't get" the language - it won't make you happy even if you work with it for a few years (unless you change your mindset to fit its ideology, of course). Some people like expressiveness (why they may choose ruby) others give priority to explicitness (not a knowledgeable in python, but i presume that language would be the choice of the latter category of people).

Solly Tyibilika insists that he is not frustrated in being a bit-part player at the Sharks despite Jake White saying he is South Africa's premier openside flanker.
The Bok coach made the claim on the away leg of the Vodacom Tri-Nations, but subsequently dropped Tyibilika for the home games against New Zealand and Australia.
With Warren Britz's impressive form this season, Tyibilika is likely to watch from the bench when the Sharks host the Vodacom Blue Bulls in what Dick Muir has billed as a "titanic game".
But the 27-year-old maintains that he is comfortable with his role as a reserve at the Sharks.
"It all depends on whether Dick wants to use me or not," he told Keo.co.za. "Maybe Jake and Dick have different ideas about the structure they want to play and maybe I don't suit the Sharks structure at present.
"It's up to me to stay focussed now and then take the opportunity when it comes."
That opportunity may be limited though. Muir has invested plenty of time and effort in developing young loose forwards, Keegan Daniel and Ryan Kankowski. Both have been amongst the standout players to have emerged from the Sharks' Vodacom Super 14 and Absa Currie Cup campaigns, and have provided solid backup to the established loose trio of AJ Venter, Jacques Botes and Britz.
Tyibilika has not played competitive rugby for three weeks, dating back to his return from Australasia. Two weeks ago he was released from the Springbok side on the Wednesday before the Test and Muir had already decided on his side.
Last week Tyibilika said he returned home to Port Elizabeth, and so was not considered for selection. He would not elaborate on what the purpose of the trip was or whether he left because Muir had decided to exclude him altogether.
This is not the first time Tyibilika has been snubbed by Muir. At the beginning of the season he couldn't make the Sharks side and was struggling to get a run on start for the Natal Wildebeest.
He though refuted the suggestion that there might be a rift between himself and Muir.
"No ways," he snapped. "Dick and I have a good relationship. He talks to me about my game and what areas he wants me to improve. He always tells me to stay focussed."

In attached photo, Dr. Richard Gerstein, Chair of Emergency Medicine at BMLH, Dr. Richard Romano, Mary Gravel, RN, Marylynn Cordy-Pratt, RN, Dr. Morris Leibowitz and Dr. Jeffrey Gutterman – members of the Emergency Medicine Team at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital.
The mission of the Baystate Mary Lane Hospital Emergency Department is to provide exceptional timely care. With our new 30-minute pledge, our goal is for a provider to see every patient within 30 minutes of their arrival at our facility.
Emergency medicine is all about providing highly skilled, essential care without undue delays. Nevertheless, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office, emergency department wait times continue to increase both in our area and throughout the country. Research from Press Ganey Associates, a group that works with health care organizations to improve clinical outcomes, found that in 2009, patients admitted to hospitals waited an average of six hours in emergency rooms. Even worse, nearly 400,000 patients waited 24 hours or more. When essential care is delayed, even in the best institutions, outcomes worsen.
"Baystate Mary Lane Hospital is committed to turning around this trend and to providing rapid response times to patients needing emergency care," said Dr. Richard Gerstein, Chair of Emergency Medicine at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital. "The 30-minute pledge reflects our ER's ongoing goal to deliver excellent care as efficiently as we can, each and every time you need it."
"Our 30-minute pledge is our commitment to make speed and efficiency an essential ingredient of emergency care through ongoing analysis of all our processes," said Lynn Garreffi, Nurse Manager of the Emergency Department, noting that the 30-minute pledge is the result of teamwork across all departments within the hospital. "Through a collaborative process involving every department, we have adopted principles and techniques to reduce wait times, provide faster turn-around times for lab work and diagnostic testing, and enhance the movement of patients through the various phases of their hospital care."
Along with Baystate Mary Lane's efforts to improve efficiency, delivering the highest quality care remains the hospital's number one goal. The BMLH Emergency Department is the recipient of the 4-star award from the Professional Research Consultants (PRC), recognized for being in the top 25% of hospitals across the country for patients' satisfaction with their overall quality of care. These results were benchmarked against more than 500 other hospitals and service areas in the PRC national database. "Actual ER wait times may vary depending on the urgency of care required by specific patients in the department," said Dr. Gerstein. "While our ER pledge is to see every patient within 30 minutes, the most critical health emergencies will always receive top priority. Even so, we estimate that we can meet this pledge 80-90% of the time."
Baystate Mary Lane Hospital's Emergency Department has enrolled with iTriage, a smartphone-based application for Android and iPhone, to continually provide, in real-time, our actual ER waiting time. We are the only facility in the area to provide this powerful new service. Look for iTriage in Google Play and the iTunes appstores.
About the Baystate Mary Lane Emergency Department:
• Our Emergency Department is staffed 24-hours a day by Emergency Medicine board-certified physicians. Our team includes Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurses who also hold board certifications.
Baystate Mary Lane Hospital, a member of Baystate Health, is a 25 bed community-based hospital serving the residents of Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester Counties. The hospital is ranked in the top 25% nationally for patient satisfaction with overall quality of emergency services and medical/surgical care. BMLH offers a wide spectrum of services, including 24-hour emergency care, intensive care, inpatient and outpatient surgical care, orthopedics and cancer services through the Baystate Regional Cancer Program.

At the Tuesday meeting of the Scioto County Commissioners it was reported that crews with Southern Ohio Salvage and Contracting, Inc. have finished a project of removing scrap metal from the remains of the former Scioto County Jail on the fourth floor of the Scioto County Courthouse.
According to Scioto County officials a total of 320,000 pounds of steel have been removed opening up an additional 12,000 square feet in the courthouse.
"We're not going to be done with that project until the space is renovated and useable again but, most of the cleanup is done," said Mike Crabtree, Chairman of the Scioto County Commissioners. "The space has been opened up and it's a sight to see."
In June the commissioners signed an agreement with Southern Ohio Salvage and Contracting, Inc., of Ironton, to remove the remains.
At the time, Commissioners Chairman Mike Crabtree was quoted as saying, "This is going to be done at no cost to the county. They will take the bars down, cut them in small pieces so they can be moved from the fourth floor to ground level, and then placed in a dumpster. Community service workers and our maintenance department will be responsible for moving the steel to the ground level as a courtesy to the contractor."
Crabtree said the agreement was worked out in such a way in which the county would not have to pay anything for the service.
He said were roughly 65 cells located on the fourth floor.
Since the new Scioto County Jail opened in 2006, the majority of the fourth floor has remained vacant and been used as storage space. Over time, the roof of the building began to leak and caused some damage to the space rendering the majority of it uninhabitable.
Crabtree said now that the roof has been replaced and the steel has been removed, the commissioners are exploring options on possible use of that space.
"I am pleased we got this project done at a great cost savings to the county," Crabtree said. "There are going to have to be some things done with the plumbing and electric, up there (before anyone can consider moving into the space)."
Crabtree said there is interest in the space from offices seeking additional space within the county government.
"You always have people that are interested in space and that seems to be what we have a shortage of (in the courthouse), obviously we have people in the courthouse annex, for that very reason," he said.
Crabtree said the commissioners are trying to look as far down the road as they can for planning purposes and to be able to work with what they have available.
"I can't give you any schedule as to when things are going to happen, we're just trying to do as much as we can as responsibly as we can," Crabtree said.
He said the county is currently perusing grant funding to refurbish the fourth floor.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
I ran out into a busy street in my area of Florida to "retrieve a tiny kitten that had been from a moving car. AQs my foc us was on this "little boy", I did not get the license plate of the car to my regret!!! Now he is 4 years old and a "little terror" who keeps us "on our toes" all the time unless he is sleeping on iyr bed!!!! I thank God for being there that day and aso for his presence in our lives!!!!!
Hang in there Joey....you will grow up to be sweet and strong.
I hope you have a speedy recovery. That you find a loving caring hone. I just I could wipe all your pain away and make you like new again.
I worked in CPS for many years - people who abuse weaker people ie children and the elderly - have - I can guarantee you - abused animals as well. I don't know when people are going to wake up to the fact that animal abuse should require a sentence as stiff as beating a child. For the most part abusers get a slap on the wrist and are told to not do it again - Our laws need to be changed - people who abuse animals are dangerous people and they should't be running around loose. My prayers to Joey - there is so much love in that little bundle of doggie.
May you find the person that did this for there is way too many shelters that they could have taken this puppy to, no reason for the abuse. Prayers with you Joey in your full recovery may you have no problem finding a loving home to be happy forever.
god please look over joey and make him well and give him a good home
Bless this poor little things heart. I'm glad now he will see & know the other side of humans. I pray that the rest of his days are spent in a loving healthy happy forever home, & this trauma can be forgotten.
Little baby Joey, I pray for your strength to fight and hold on .. I pray little man that the ones who did this horrible violent act to you are cought and punished to the highest extreme ... I pray for a quick recovery and that. Your next family will love you as you need to be ... Hang in there little buddy .. You will be loved the way you deserve to be ..
Poor Puppy! He is so cute!!! This action has no excuse. Hope the monster who did this to Joey gets caught soon!
