Basing that solely on the line where the Talosians insist that humans could be taught. Humans can't be taught to grow giant gross 50s sci-fi brains. Well, maybe they could via genetic tampering, but I think machines make as much or more sense.*
I always interpreted the Talosians as having built a large illusion-casting industrial complex that was largely automated, but over the decades, centuries, and so forth they became too endumbened and lazified by their Total Sense Internet to ever build anything else more complicated than an elevator or pane of glass.
It's actually little surprising that The Cage was never broadcast back in the day, given its message, and it's even more surprising that it remains one of the more relevant Trek episodes even ~fifty years later.
*On the other hand, a fair amount of early Trek is under the goofy impression that humans have latent telepathic abilities that need only a crazy radiation bolt or the love of a good plasma-cloud man to be jumpstarted. This was pretty much retconned out, of course.

Royal Army's food supply getting thinner, says Sulu Sultanate spokesman
More News from INQUIRER.net, Radyo Inquirer 990AM
MANILA, Philippines— Abraham Idjirani, spokesperson of the Sultanate of Sulu said Tuesday members of the "Royal Army" are running low on food supply, noting that Malaysia is violating the Geneva Convention.
In an interview with Radyo Inquirer 990AM, Idjirani said that as of past 2 a.m. Tuesday, members of the Royal Army of the Sultanate of Sulu are in a good condition, but are having difficulties with the apparent "food blockage" being experienced by the group in Sabah.
"Intindihin ng Malaysian government na ayon sa Geneva Conference, kahit kalaban basta pagkain, bigyan . . . ang ginagawa ng Malaysian government pinapahirapan sila at vina-violate ang sinasabing Geneva Conference (The Malaysian government should understand that according to the Geneva Conference, even enemies should be given food. What the Malaysian government did was punish them. They violated the Geneva Convention)," Idjirani said.

Help Required Fixing G4 Powerbook Please...
When I boot up my G4 PB, it sticks on the grey screen, at the point before the spinning grey circle appears. I figure that I might be able to fix this with a software restore, but the PB drive is also not reading any disks - it whirrs loudly and spits them out. Anyone know if it is possible to boot the G4 from an external drive, or using an iMac G5? It's a bit of a 'catch 22' situation at present.
What I need to find out is a) is it possible to boot from an external drive, b) if it is, do I need to input a set of key strokes to activate the boot up (bearing in mind I can't see the on-screen instructions, and c) is there a way I can control the PB from elsewhere so I can see what I am doing (eg another monitor, or my iMac G5). I have treid rigging my PB to an external monitor, via S-Video, but again only the grey screen appears, so this seems unlikely.
Thanks for your feedback, any would be most welcome. Cheers.

You can boot up from any external device, provided that it's connected by FireWire. To do this, hold Option while the machine is booting, and it will present you with all the available boot disks.
If you wish to boot from another machine's hard drive, you have to first put that machine into Target mode, by holding "T" when the machine boots.

I have tried zapping the PRAM, resetting the NVRAM, booting into single user mode and doing a safe boot - none of these worked, the grey screen on the PB remains.
So, at present, have managed to log into firewire target disk mode and the PBook icon is on the G5 desktop. Opened disk utility to repair & verify the disk but when I attempt to do anything on the PB, an error appears: "Verify and Repair disk
Repairing disk failed with error Could not unmount disk"
An additional problem is that Filevault on the PB is turned on. At present, the only folders I can access are apps, library, system and users.
1. Is there any way I can log into my account on the the PB?
2. Is there any way I can view the PB desktop on my G5?
3. How can i run a disk check with the above error?
4. Is it possible for me to log into system preferences on the PB (NOT the G5) to turn off filevault on the PB. Apple's site seems to suggest this is possible but doesn't say how
Many thanks for your help
|Feb 19, 2006, 09:26 PM
If you put the PowerBook into Target Mode, and Option boot the G5, you may be able to boot from the PowerBook's hard drive. If the option to boot from that drive does not appear, then the System folder (not System Folder) is borked, at the very least.
My suggestion would be to boot from an OS X disc, and run Disk Utility from that disc (It can be accessed from the Utilities pull down menu), to attempt to repair the disk. Failing all of this, you should be able to retrieve any crucial data via the FireWire link, and then blow away the PowerBook, and start over.

Based on our quarterly analyst update teleconference on April 25, ITCandor analyst Martin Hingley published a positive commentary on System z marketplace momentum, new offerings and new client Algar Telecom, who consolidated 80 servers to Linux virtual servers running on a single zEnterprise System with zBX.
Here are a few excerpts from the ITCandor piece:
"Our view is that System z is doing well due to the importance of product introductions, with the zEC12 boosting sales significantly over the last 2 quarters."
"System z demonstrates a status all large integrated 'systems of record' should aim for. IBM has successfully removed many objections to System z – that the processors are more expensive, the entry price too high, are only used in banks, are never sold to new customers and always run proprietary z/OS workloads."
"Algar has discovered a number of benefits from the project, including:
Reducing the total cost of ownership and for the next 3 years
A reduction in Capital Expenditure
Increased scalability
Increased availability, mitigating the need to stop the high-end production server
Greater flexibility – it can use the environment for Cloud computing at a later stage
Better time-to-market – the virtualised environment with Capacity on Demand provides for faster and easier deployment of new applications
Better technology with the latest generation z196 and POWER7 servers
The project achieved the consolidation aim of replacing 80 physical servers with a single server."

Guardian Hatchet Job On Ron Paul's Home Schooling CurriculumSubmitted by Corbett on Fri, 04/12/2013 - 16:21
On any given day I visit a lot of foreign news websites with the hope of finding real news (the stuff that has been either ignored or altered by the main stream media here at home), sadly most days the media in other countries is just as bad as what passes for journalism here. I saw this piece on the guardian this morning, the comments are equally bad. I'm just about spent on arguing with internet idiots for the week, but maybe one or more of you is interested in wading into the fray. Good luck out there!
"The Christian fundamentalism behind Ron Paul's home-schooling curriculum. Do supporters of the small-government libertarian realise how wedded Paul is to a rigidly dogmatic religious conservatism?"
- Login to post comments
The Guardian is as socialist
The Guardian is as socialist as mainstream newspapers get. So naturally they have to find some reason to get their knickers in a knot over the Ron Paul curriculum.
Here's Lew Rockwell's rebuttal:
Ron Paul is NOT a Christian Fundamentalist
Posted by Lew Rockwell on April 12, 2013 09:04 AM
Despite what the Guardian claims, Ron is no religious right-winger. His non-denominational Protestant faith is tolerant and humble. It's true that Ron employs the brilliant Gary North; he also employs the brilliant Tom Woods, both to help him with his homeschool curriculum. But Ron is neither a Calvinist nor a Catholic, and he is in charge of the content and everything else. And as Ron said yesterday in a conference call, he wants a curriculum that--while recognizing the importance of religion, as the non-religious Murray Rothbard did--is not "Christian."
"I want all parents concerned about getting, a high-quality, low-price, rigorous, parent-controlled, pro-liberty education for their children to be able to use this curriculum, whether they are atheist libertarians or evangelicals or anyone else," he said. Gary North's religious views are not Ron Paul's, and neither are Tom Woods's. But Ron works happily with both these scholars on shared liberty projects. "Freedom brings people together," as he has often noted.
UPDATE I could go on and on, but let me make just one additional point. Sarah Posner writes:
That's why you'll hear Ron Paul's religious followers say that groups like the American Family Association and Focus on the Family are "not my type of Christian", or complain that the religious right is "a hollow creature" that has "lost its moorings".
That's a slippery, comment with no citation. And even if there were one, how is Ron responsible for some alleged followers? But I do know the actual reason Ron is unenthusiastic about such groups: they share Ms. Posner's statolatry and warmongering.
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
Christian fundamentalist were
Christian fundamentalist were a back to basic group, similar to a lot of other such movements - ie Puritan, Pilgrim's, etc.
Replying to ignorance with more ignorance isn't worth doing. Only actually facts and the desire for truth has any merit in actual discussion.
What the fundamentalist believed is probably best seen in the 1910 set of books called "The Fundamentals" - which is here:
I don't consider myself a fundamentalist, but their beliefs don't seem different from other Christians.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
FYI - 1910 is outside of

In the next few weeks, a bounty of nonfiction books by Wisconsin writers will be published, including an account by two Journal Sentinel reporters of the kerfuffle that began in Madison in March 2011, when Gov.

After an overdose of Harley Davidson yesterday, I decided to have a bike free day and spent most of it doing various chores and sorting out my laptop (treated it to a complete memory laundry, disk scan, de-frag and bought it a cordless mouse;)). That evening Julie, Arch and I met up with their friend Rick at a new restaurant in the centre of Houston…
…The Aquarium. This place is amazing. It's been fitted out like a set from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and is fitted with a series of fish tanks, holding over half a million gallons of water – including a column in the centre of a spiral staircase over 50 feet in height. The displays are excellent…
...and you can get very close to the fish – here's Julie saying hello to some Stingrays…
The restaurant is superb. It's a seafood menu, for those who don't mind being stared at by the cousins of those they are eating :P The portions are huge (this is Texas, after all) – this is a crab & avocado starter…
…and the food is absolutely first rate – I hope the Red Snapper watching me eat didn't recognise any of their relatives…
After dinner we continued our tour of the fish tanks,
before getting on a train and going through the final exhibit – a shark tank. The fairground type train stops inside a plexiglass tunnel which goes through a vast shark tank. The residents eye us as they lazily swim around us…
Afterwards we walk back to the car, looking at the lights of downtown Houston.

Re: For a family of 4 - Islander 28 vs Catalina 30
I got in touch with the broker for the Hunter 34/35 last night. She said that there is an issue with the engine, and the owners want that fixed before they re-list it. She's not sure how long the repairs will take, so if I go there this weekend, there's a strong chance that I won't be able to see the Hunter.
Back in November/December, I found an Allmand for sale and REALLY liked that boat. My family and I are cruisers, not racers, and that boat was one of the most comfortable "feeling" boats I had been on. Lots of beam, and enough length to spread out. I know they aren't good sailing to weather, and aren't exactly "high performance" boats, but for our purposes, that boat seemed like a good fit. Unfortunately, the boat needed work and when I itemized the repair costs and subtracted them from the NADA value, the discounted cost of the boat was significantly less than the owner was willing to take (which explains why the boat is still on the market). Over this past weekend, as I was looking at other boats, I found another Allmand and the owner didn't run screaming when I mentioned my budget, but did say it required some additional thought. So, I'm waiting to hear whether that boat is available. It is south of me, and many of the other boats are to my north, which puts me in a holding pattern as far as plans for this weekend. I have asked the Allmand owner for a decision ASAP, so I can make my plans. Either I'll be seeing the Allmand this weekend (and possibly a few others in that area) or heading out to see a Pearson 323, S2 9.2A, Endeavour 32, and possibly an Irwin 30.
Stay tuned...

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 26 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jman Great cleat! My sons football cleat came apart night before his game. So we went to Dicks to find him a replacement. Hard to find him a shoe that fits him size 14 wide. You guys had it and he love it. Played the whole game and did not get a blister. Thanks! You guys rock! November 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sandyrze Mon son loves these My son started football this year and has very wide feet. Had a hard time finding cleats for him. The first pair had removabeable cleats and hurt his feet and ankles. We found these and they are a game saver. He has no more issues with his feet or ankles. He said they are like wearing sneakers. Cannot say enough about these!! September 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Matt Exactly what was described and I was looking for. Good feel. I sized up and good fit. Normally I'm about 10.5 or 11 and the 11.5 are perfect December 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jayrok14 Perfect. Very comfortable support, with a lightweight rubber sole that allows speed with excellent traction. November 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mick44 10 Year Old Son's Flag Football He played two games so far so good. He says they are comfortable and for the price seems to be reasonable. October 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Georgia This product is ok The only problem I have with this shoe is the ankle straps. My son only wire them for one game and practices when the strap that goes across the ankle stopped working as It should. He ended up taping the ankle part to keep it secure. Other than that everything else is ok. October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Outlaws21 Great product High quality , great for football, will last for a long time October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dutch High Top Renegade If your looking for ankle support and great traction this Under Armour shoe does both. September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by spudlightear this product is amazing i did want another pair they had, but i'm happy they didn't have them in stock. these boots are ones for true athletes. September 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by jmallen Seems to run a little small. We bought these cleats for my son. They didn't have his size in store so they ordered it for us. He is very happy with them. They seem well built and will last for a few seasons at least. They only reason we are not giving 5 stars is because Under Armour seems to run just a little too small. September 21, 2014

Marc Newson's "Body Jet" re-imagines the jetpack
January 29, 2013
The jetpack is arguably the most game-changing method of transport one could envision using technology available today. However, despite some progress, a jetpack-powered commute still seems a very long way in the future. Not to be daunted by this, Australian designer Marc Newson has turned his hand to producing a compelling jetpack design concept, dubbed the "Body Jet."
The Body Jet boasts the designer's usual flair for beautiful simplistic style and harks back to a time when many felt jetpack travel and flying cars to be just around the corner. Indeed, rather than a toy for the rich, the Body Jet concept appears to be more comparable to Ford's iconic Model T, and could be imagined as the vehicle which finally brings jetpack travel to the masses.
Newson's design features a carbon fiber yellow and black body, with a single large engine providing thrust. A dual-joystick setup is employed for controlling the jetpack, and the Body Jet would reportedly contain enough fuel for approximately 45 - 60 minutes of air time.
The Body Jet was commissioned by a French aerospace company and remains a concept at present – fingers crossed we'll soon see such a device brought to market.
Source: Marc Newson via CoDesign
What would make this more useful and interesting is the stand piece used to hold the pack up so you can get into and out of it easily. If instead of a static stand, you had an extendable one with retracting/telescoping pole segments. Thus when you get in the stand is active, once air born you flip a switch and the poles retract into the pack. and when landing, click a button, and they extend to aid in landing at a stance. Additionally they could be spring loaded somewhat to provide a little flexibility.yinfu99
More of an art story than science I'd say. I have often wondered whether or not a jet pack that was meant for assisted jumping rather than sustained flying would be practical to a degree that full flight jet packs are not.Snake Oil Baron
I think the retractable stand idea is a good one (even if it is just to raise it higher and shows on the outside).
It would be neat to see it in a movie like a similar one used in the Cody Banks movie.
I think it would be cool if it was powered by a tiny turbo prop engine.BigGoofyGuy
For this idea to become a total winner, it needs to:Forget stands, it should fly directly to the user's back and position itself for fitting. No complex two-joystick controls. To be massively adopted, it has to be completely autonomous. Set waypoint and forget. It should avoid obstacles. Google already does this in its cars. Low noise. Mariano Dupont
The current fuel capacity suggests this may only be useful for low altitude short commutes, but I see a possibly better application for this.
Could this be re-engineered as an alternative to traditional aircraft ejector seats or, with the necessary structural considerations built into the fuselage, integrated into passenger seating on larger airliners (i.e. Escape pods)?ChillZilla
Those jets drink one liter per minute (that's about 3.5 minutes per gallon), are rip-year-ears-off loud, and you don't want anything spinning at 70,000rpm in line with parts of your body...christopher
would it be quieter and more controllable as a quad copter design? maybe better mileage to boot?Kwazai
nice shot of reality christopher. and why is the intake pulling you downward, i think this is a children's toy.frogola
This is basically just someone doodling with a 3D CAD program right? The intake would suck your pants off and probably extract the contents of your rectum. Actually rectal content expulsion would occur naturally as you tried to control it.nutcase
Why doesn't someone make a lighter weight and updated version of the Williams Aerial Systems Platform? That one had a useful range and payload capacity. Modern composite materials would improve it.Gregg Eshelman
Fine 'till you run out of fuel at 1000 feet. Better have a 'chute as well.JAT
What's all the fuss about? There's already a device like this, the Martin Jet Pack made in New Zealand:
Weight 254 lbs (115 kg) excluding safety equipment Pilot Weight Up to 280 lbs (127kg) Speed Cruising speed of up to 63 mph (100kph) Fuel Capacity 5 US gallons (18.9 litres) Fuel burn 10 US gallons (38 litres)/hr Flight Time & Range At the target fuel consumption, the flight time will be 30 mins and the range up to 30 miles (50 km) Engine Martin Aircraft 2.0 L V4 2 stroke, rated at 200 hp (150 kw). Max 6000 rpm. Electrical system 12 V DC Battery, starter, 360 w alternator. Hover in ground effect 8000 ft (estimated) Hover above ground effect 8000 ft (estimated) Standard Equipment Flight and Engine displays Harness Ballistic Parachute Energy absorbing undercarriage.warren52nz
My GI Joe had something identical to this 40 years ago.
And: Where is the turbojet engine which can generate ~400 pounds of static thrust continuously for an hour, burning less than 50 pounds of fuel per hour, at the worst-possible-turbojet-case altitude of sea-level-to -500 feet, oh, and itself, with all equipment needed to produce such thrust weighs less than I do (200 pounds).
If I could find a jet engine like that I'd get a second mortgage and buy it! All of mine are < 100 lbs static thrust. :-(
So yes, this thing must be imaginary, or there'd be specs, complete with the important part, the SFC of the engine, and the manufacturer.sleat
Does no one consider doing any research before commenting? The "Jet Belt" was first developed by Wendall Moore while working for Bell AeroSystems. The following link gives readers the basics of what he developed way back in the '60's. He came up with both the "Jet Belt" and the "Rocket Belt". The Jet belt was much more practical than the hydrogen peroxide powered one. But after his death, and the military's decision to go with helicopters, the concept and device faded away.
The problem with this is noise,I can't envision one of these,let alone 4 or five flying through the air,the noise and jet exhaust at low altitude would be a little too much.I think a electric quad rotor,1 or 2 seats , tubular cage around you, motors and props above you, would be perfect for short low altitude trips.A company Jobe is making real nice electric motors.Around 12 horse each,very affordable.maybe six motors,but you could fly on 3.This Quad rotor concept started by Evolo and other's could really take off,its safer,has very few parts,unlike a regular helicopter,which is a parts nightmare,can be fitted with a ballistic chute,could be made pretty quiet,with newer blade technology,noise suppression etc.This might end up as one of the safest ways to fly and the cheapest.I think I'm right on this one,give it 10 years,their will be a few flying,it just makes sense.A farmer could check on his cattle,crops etc with the extra option of being able to hover safely.Thomas Lewis
noise? he did say this is like the model t to cars..it's a start.billybob1851

Old problems still haunt Raiders
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)
Almost from the moment he took over in Oakland, coach Hue Jackson vowed to fix the Raiders' perpetually leaky run defense and curb their propensity for penalties.
With three games left in his inaugural season, both problems are as big as ever and could end up extending Oakland's postseason drought to nine seasons.
The Raiders are on a record-setting penalty pace and are allowing the most yards per carry in franchise history, problems that need to be fixed immediately if Oakland (7-6) hopes to reverse its recent slide in time to make a playoff push. The Raiders host the Detroit Lions (8-5) on Sunday.
Oakland has a league-worst 130 penalties for 1,116 yards - slightly ahead of the record pace set by the 1998 Kansas City Chiefs - with the problems running from overaggressive personal fouls to unfocused pre-snap penalties.
''I am doing everything I know how to do, and I have called other people that I know in order to fix this,'' Jackson said. ''It's going to take some time, and I hope everybody understands that. There is no magical stuff that I can throw on this team and say `No more penalties.' That's not how it works.''
That's also the case with the run defense, which has been as bad as ever in recent weeks. The Raiders are allowing 5.2 yards per carry - the second-highest mark in the NFL since the 1970 merger, trailing only the 2006 Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts at 5.3.
Only eight teams since the 1970 merger have allowed 5 yards per carry for a season, a mark reached only once previously in Raiders history in 1962 - the year before Al Davis joined the franchise.
''It's nothing that's out of the ordinary,'' middle linebacker Rolando McClain said. ''It's things we can fix and we're going to have to fix in order to be a good defense. If we want to play in the playoffs, play against some of these good team, we can't make the mistakes we've been making.''
While injuries to big-play offensive players in Oakland have garnered most of the attention, the defense has been affected as well.
McClain missed one game with a sprained ankle and also has had his practice time curtailed. Safety Michael Huff has also missed significant practice time.
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour has been slowed by a bum knee in recent weeks that has limited his practice time and turned him into a situational player at times. Seymour, the anchor of the defense early in the year, has only one tackle the past five games.
''Your health is very important, especially when you are playing on the inside,'' Seymour said. ''You got to be able to fight off guys and be explosive, and personally I haven't had that the last couple of weeks. But I am getting better.''
The Raiders appeared to have the running game under control earlier in the season, holding three straight opponents under 4 yards per carry during a stretch in October.
But starting with a 299-yard game by Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos on Nov. 6, the run defense has been as porous as ever. Oakland has allowed 169 yards per game and 5.9 yards per carry over the past six weeks, giving up seven touchdowns and 36 runs of at least 10 yards.
''What we have to do is play consistently and put our eyes in the right place and communicate and finish plays,'' Jackson said. ''It seems hard. It shouldn't be. At the end of the day, that's what it comes down to. There's been spurts of us playing really good against the run, us playing really good defensively. We just haven't done it consistent enough over a period of time and that's what we need to do.''
The problems have been stark the past two weeks with Reggie Bush getting just his third career 100-yard game two weeks ago in Miami's 34-14 victory and Ryan Grant scoring his first two touchdowns since the 1999 season last week in Green Bay's 46-16 victory.
Defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan said it was a matter of not ''setting the edge'' against the Dolphins and being in the wrong gap on Grant's 47-yard TD run on the second play from scrimmage.
''If you do that, the next guy to make the play is the safety and we didn't get that done, so the ball goes to the end zone,'' Bresnahan said. ''So it's different each time but it's easily corrected seeing it on tape. Doing it on the field's a whole different story, so that's again an emphasis point this week.''
Notes: The Raiders sold out their seventh straight game, their most in any season since moving back to Oakland in 1995. ... WR Denarius Moore practiced for a second straight day after missing the previous three games with a sprained right foot and is expected to play Sunday. ... RB Darren McFadden (right foot) and receiver Jacoby Ford (left foot) remain sidelined and are unlikely to play this week. ... CB Chris Johnson is still away from the team dealing with his sister's funeral in Texas earlier this week and will likely sit out this week.

After attempts to solve sewage leaks throughout the past decade proved unsuccessful, Newton officials hope their newest wastewater project pumps out the problem.
Work began on the Burris Road Pump Station in Newton this week. City officials say the construction should reduce raw sewage spills that have cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance and fines since 2004.
Since 2006, more than 160,000 gallons of untreated wastewater has spilled from Newton sewer lines, and more than 140,000 gallons of raw sewage made its way to the area's freshwater streams.
The 19th annual United Way Unifour Cross Country Invitational takes place today at Southside Park in Newton.
Thirty-seven high schools and 1,189 runners will participate in the event, which is scheduled to have six races between approximately 3:45 p.m. and 6:15 p.m.
ŌĆ£This is really unique in that it is a high school athletic event,ŌĆØ said organizer John Hall. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs certainly one of the largest events in this area. WeŌĆÖve got some of the best 3A and 4A teams in the state coming. We also have some really great 2A teams. There will be some really good competition.ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not used to talking about myself that much, but I enjoyed it and thought it was really interesting,ŌĆØ Bivens said. ŌĆ£It was fun.ŌĆØ
Early voting for the 2011 Catawba County municipal elections starts next week.

Unregistered voters can fill out a registration form at the one-stop voting sites. They must show a valid ID as well, said Marvin Bentley, Catawba County elections specialist.
Voting for every municipality can be completed at the sites, Bentley said.

Catawba County children are finally getting answers to the age-old question of "why" they must learn certain concepts in school.
Newton-Conover City Schools leaders say they hope those answers help children prepare to compete for higher-education and job opportunities around the world.

Through the sales of T-shirts and a silent auction, the Bunker Hill community raised more than $2,000 for the foundation, which is centered around the sport of volleyball and cancer awareness.

Research Inconclusive About Whether Child Victims Become Adult Abusers

(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed research studies regarding the cycle of sexual abuse, focusing on the likelihood that individuals who are victims of sexual abuse as children will become sexual abusers of children in adulthood.
GAO found that: (1) there was no consensus among the 23 retrospective and 2 prospective studies reviewed that childhood sexual abuse led directly to the victim becoming an adult sexual abuser; (2) the retrospective studies, which sought to determine whether a sample of known sex offenders had been sexually abused as children, differed considerably in the types of offenders studied, use of control or comparison groups, and definition and reporting of childhood sexual abuse; (3) although some of the retrospective studies concluded that childhood sexual abuse may increase the risk that victims will commit sexual abuse later, most of the studies noted that the majority of sex offenders had not been sexually abused as children; (4) the prospective studies, which tracked sexually abused children into adulthood to determine how many became sex offenders, studied sample populations that may not be representative of the entire population of childhood sexual abuse victims; and (5) the prospective studies found that victims of childhood sexual abuse were not more likely than nonvictims to be arrested for sex offenses.

I traveled yesterday with my five children to attend my niece's confirmation. It was a beautiful event that was so well attended my kids and I had to park in a nearby neighborhood.
But there's a reason I'm telling you the story. Look, I know it can be difficult to have kids in church. Believe me I know. I've had kids knocking their chins into the pews and crying, I've had kids vomiting and then crying that they vomited, I've had kids accidentally tearing the missal and crying because they thought they'd be in trouble. But I couldn't believe what I saw yesterday at the confirmation Mass.
Mind you, the church was packed so my children and I were standing and couldn't see a whole lot but in...READ MORE

Respond to Review of Tori's Bakeshop
by your_ad_here
Review: I love Tori's. I'll happily bike out there despite several closer spots just cos it's so perfect. 1. It's really cute. It has a nice atmosphere, plenty of seating and is tastefully decorated. 2. Wonderful staff. Everyone is so friendly and happy to help even when you're indecisive and have a hard time picking from all their baked goods! 3. Really yummy sweets. They have a nice selection of baked goods including the usual suspects like cookies, brownies and cupcakes and harder to find things: butter tarts, lemon tarts, donuts. 4. Savoury items! Tori's has the best savoury scones and biscuits. Their scones are so fluffy and moist and rich and wonderful. And they come in flavours like mushroom & thyme and cheddar daiya & broccoli. They also have sammiches like a blt (with coconut bacon) and a grilled veg. It can be a little pricey but seems to be roughly the same amount as other vegan bakeries in Toronto. Overall, I'd highly recommend it.

A Ball for Daisy
by Chris Raschka
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"A Ball for Daisy", by Chris Raschka is a wordless picture with great illustrations.It is about a dog who shared her ball but her friend popped it and Daisy got very upset. She walked around depressed. The illustrator made the pictures where you can feel the sadness in the paintings. This book really helps open up a child's imagination because you have to picture the dog's emotions and words she would be saying. This book would be best for ages 3-5. Probably best for kids who cannot read yet because it will help open their imagination.
This wordless picture book has a true meaning of kindness shown towards the end of the picture book. This book does not need words to describe the story which is being presented. This story entails the journey of a dog whose attachment to a red ball becomes unattached towards the end of the picture book. I would read this book to a group of pre-k to first graders because I feel as though they will be able to under stand the meaning of kindness even at a young age.
This wordless book takes its readers on an adventure with a dog and his red ball. The dog and his ball go on many adventures until the ball goes flat when another dog at the park bites the ball. The dog is sad until the family brings the dog a new blue ball and the fun can begin again. The watercolor illustrations are lovely and whimsical and add nice movement to the plot and storyline.
This is a wonderful book to include in the classroom for early readers as it allows them to describe the story using basic words and simple plots that will be familiar to most of them. The stories that the develop can be as simple or as complicated as they are able, but all readers should be able to understand the context and basics of the plot. This is also a good selection to use when discussing emotions and how we react to events that happen to us.
Picture-less picture book about a dog and her ball. At the beginning the dog is happy because he is given a ball. He plays with it everywhere and sleeps with it. The climax is when he pops it, he is very sad. He frown a lot. But, at the end a friend gives him another ball and he is happy again!
In this realistic fiction book, we are shown pictures with no words of a dog who loves her red ball. She would play with it all the time and would sleep next to in on the couch. Unfortunately, one day at the park, her red ball gets popped by another dog. She is so sad, and she sulks home. She has nothing to play with and nothing to sleep next to. The next day they go to the park again, and the dog who popped her ball brought her a new blue one! Daisy is so happy, and in the end, she sleeps next to her new ball.
Review: A Ball For Daisy is a book with no words about a dog and its ball. This dog loves her red ball so much. She even sleeps with it on her lovely couch. But when something happens to the ball at the park, Daisy becomes discouraged. My favorite part of the book is when Daisy is sleeping with the ball because it shows how much she loves it. It also shows how goofy she is as a dog, which reminds me of my own puppy at home. I recommend this book for anyone who likes dogs because it captures the true essence of how goofy they can be. A Ball For Daisy will surely leave you smiling.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 037585861X, Hardcover)Winner of the 2012 Randolph Caldecott Medal
This New York Times Bestseller and New York Times Best Illustrated Book relates a story about love and loss as only Chris Rashcka can tell it. Any child who has ever had a beloved toy break will relate to Daisy's anguish when her favorite ball is destroyed by a bigger dog. In the tradition of his nearly wordless picture book Yo! Yes?, Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka explores in pictures the joy and sadness that having a special toy can bring. Raschka's signature swirling, impressionistic illustrations and his affectionate story will particularly appeal to young dog lovers and teachers and parents who have children dealing with the loss of something special.
